workmen motorcars that transported railroad crews up and down the rails to inspect and repair them. In recent years, they were replaced by modern pickup trucks fitted with rail wheels known as hi-rails. As the speeders were taken out of service, they were either sold as scrap or auctioned off to private collectors. It was us collectors who have restored the speeders and now rent railways and go caravanning up and down them.” Speeders are not displayed publicly; it's rare for the general public to see them, let alone get a chance to ride in them, making this a special opportunity.

BY MAURICIO SEGURA PHOTOS BY WILLIAM MANCEBO We've all done it. We've gone to places like Disneyland, Six Flags, or Great America and spent up to an hour or more waiting in line to fulfill a lust for speed and excitement courtesy of our favorite roller coaster. Finally reaching the front of the line, the train pulls in, lap bars rise, and we sit with a smile of anticipation for the G-forces to have their way.

Minutes later we find ourselves back where we started. As the lap bars lift, the question answered is whether or not the wait was worth it. Now, thanks to the Pacific Railcar Operators and Niles Canyon Railway, locals will have a chance to experience the ultimate rail-based thrill ride. Better yet, it's not just 90 seconds of amusement, but a whole 45 minutes of non-stop speed on the rails. “Speeders” is the word. And what exactly are they? Niles Canyon Railway agent and speeder owner/operator Al McCracken explains, “Speeders are old-time Mind Twisters . . . . . . . . . . . . 13

The allure of speeders is the fact that they sit very close to the ground. And although they travel at top speeds of 20 miles per hour, they create the effect of speeds of 50 mph. Cars vary in size, some carrying one to two passengers, while others can carry up to seven. “A special treat at this Niles event,” added McCracken, “is the addition of two 1927 Sheffield Velocipedes people can ride. These are the original hand-pump railcars, which are very rarely loaned out to be used by the general public.” This unusual event, held only three times during the last five years, will take place on April 30th at the Niles Depot. Prices are $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 5 through 12. Tickets usually sell out prior to the event so it is recommended to call early to make reservations. All proceeds will support Niles Canyon Railway upkeep and ensure that weekend family train rides continue. Speeder rides will leave from Niles and travel through the Canyon to Bright Side Yard in Sunol then return to Niles; an approximately 11-mile round trip. Please note that before setting foot in speeders, each person will be required to sign two waivers: one for the Pacific Railcar Operators and a second for the Niles Canyon Railway. Height and weight is not an issue, but riders are required to wear long pants and closed toe shoes. Public speeder rides have proven to be a hit with families of all ages, so take advantage and book reservations for family and friends for a day of fun filled railway excitement. As an enthused rider once told McCracken at a previous event, “This was the longest roller coaster I've ever been on!”

estimated between 10 and 13 percent,” Cochran told TCV. “Last summer Office of Traffic Safety conducted a self-reporting opinion survey that asked drivers to tell us what there usage of cell phones while driving were. They reported that 14 percent of them regularly talked on a hand-held cell phone,” he said. Studies have shown little difference between the risk associated with hand-held and hands-free devices. It’s not where your hands are. It’s where your head is. Texting while driving can also delay a driver’s reactions as much as having blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08, the same as a drunk driver. Currently it is legal to use a speaker phone. However, it can’t just be your cell phone on speaker that you are still holding in your hand. It has to be either a speaker phone built into your car or your cell phone has to be physically out of your hand. California law allows a driver to use a wireless telephone without a hands free device to make emergency calls to a law enforcement agency, a medical provider, the fire department or other emergency services agencies. In the case of an emergency, drivers should pull over before making a call, if the situation safely permits. Using one of the many apps available, such as IZUP or OTTER, to hold your messages is a good option for focused driving. “Starting this month with the latest campaign we hope to lessen the number of crashes as much as possible,” said Cochran.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY MAYA LITVAK PHOTO BY VIVIAN STONEKING Chess can be an intense, strategic exercise that challenges even the greatest minds. Irvington High School in Fremont recently welcomed a new club that celebrates and expands these skills. “The club was established to provide students an opportunity to engage in a mental activity that promotes concentration, memory, and vision,” says Chess Club Treasurer and nationally ranked Chess Master, Rohan Agarwal. The first ever Fremont Elementary Chess Championship was held at Irvington last year, with almost 90 students, K-6 in attendance. Irvington students Rohan Agarwal, Akshay Narayan, Ankita Roy and Rahul Bhatia organized this event. Over 15 Bay Area elementary schools were represented at the tournament. Aditya Kumar, Chess Club President and a ranked “A” player, used the money generated from the tournament to invest in creating a Chess Club at Irvington. Still in its first

year of existence, the club has over 30 members who attend weekly meetings to discuss strategy and refine their chess skills. Kevin Hui, Irvington’s Chess Club Vice President and ranked “C” player, states, “The chess club is a unique way for people in Irvington to socialize with each other while playing the wonderful game of chess.” Irvington’s Chess Club is part of the Northern California High School Championship League, an online group for Northern Californian chess players to compete. The Championship has a group of nine high schools, from Saratoga to Mission, that compete via an online chess server for the title of Northern California High School Champions. Every school has five players per game, ranked by strength from

board one (strongest) to board five. Player one of the first school, plays against player 1 of the next; player 2 of one plays against player 2 of the next, and so on. So far, the Irvington club has emerged as the underdog team to clinch the top four playoffs. In coming weeks, the club will play two elimination matches with other schools to determine the winner of the league. Aditya Kumar, creator and President, comments, “Regardless of if we win or not, our school has come a long way since September and the effort of each player is tremendous. As the captain, I’m extremely lucky to have such a talented group of chess players!” The five regular Irvington Chess Competitors are Rohan Agarwal, Aditya Kumar, Kevin Hui, Eric Zhang, and Brandon Lam; substitutes are Ankur Gupta and Eswar Dhinakaran. These members were champions of the first Chess Club tournament, and are now undefeated competitors in the continued on page 29

re you hesitant to go places where you aren’t sure there are bathrooms nearby? Is it difficult for you to sit through long business meetings, movies or sporting events? Do you wake up two or more times at night needing to urinate? “Overactive bladder syndrome is an uncomfortable and embarrassing problem that can dramatically affect your quality of life, causing you to limit your work or social activities,” says Dr. Mark Saleh, a urologist on the medical staff at Washington Hospital. “Fortunately, symptoms of urinary urgency and the leakage of urine known as ‘urge incontinence’ that can occur as a result of overactive bladder aren’t necessarily a normal part of aging, and there are treatments that can help, including self-help remedies and lifestyle changes.” Dr. Saleh notes that overactive bladder syndrome affects over 30 million people in the U.S., the majority of whom are women. “Overactive bladder affects women more frequently than men because of the anatomy of the female urinary tract,” he says. “Women also are more likely to experience urinary leakage. Pregnancy, childbirth and the hormonal changes associated with menopause can contribute to the problem.” To help women learn about the possible causes and treatments for urinary frequency, the Washington Women’s Center will be presenting “Sorry, Gotta Run!” a Lunch and Learn lecture featuring Dr. Saleh on Wednesday, May 11 from noon to 1 p.m. The free lecture will

your symptoms, medications may be prescribed to help correct the problem. “The most common medications prescribed for overactive bladder are called anticholinergics, which control the nerve receptors in the bladder that stimulate it to contract,” Dr. Saleh explains. “With these medications, we try to bring the bladder back to a normal activity level – not to prevent the bladder from contracting completely.” While minimally invasive surgery to lift the bladder with a “sling” is sometimes performed for cases of stress incontinence, surgery to treat overactive bladder is performed only in rare cases for people with severe symptoms who don’t respond to other treatments. “Our success rate for treating overactive bladder without surgery is very good,” says Dr. Saleh. “Many people are embarrassed to talk with their doctors about their overactive bladder symptoms, but it’s important that you do. There’s no need for you to suffer in silence.” Learn More About the Washington Women’s Center The Washington Women’s Center offers a variety of health screenings, diagnostic and educational programs that are tailored to meet a woman’s needs.

SUBMITTED BY NICOLE STEWARD, MSW PHOTOS BY MARIE ROHNER Walters Junior High School Math & Science club students scored a major win on April 2, at the Cal State East Bay Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement (MESA) Schools Program. In their first-ever MESA School event, Walters’ students swept the math competition and won the overall Spirit Award for team participation, placement and positive attitudes. CSUEB MESA hosted its annual MESA Day Preliminary Competitions at the Hayward campus. Students from nearby school districts participated in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions designed to help them apply their academic skills to hands-on and real world experiences. This program is designed to prepare and motivate educationally disadvantaged students to

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

successfully pursue collegepreparatory coursework and promote careers in math and science, while developing their pre-professional and leadership skills. More than 600 educationally disadvantaged 6th through 12th grade students participated in competitions such as designing and building bridges, airplane gliders and mousetrap cars, biological models and egg drops, as well as participating in the Windmill National Design Competition. Walter’s first year as a MESA School was made possible by the generous support of Lam Research. Students were coached and supported by science teacher Lewis Kilcrease, who supervised about 50 students after school, twice a week. Thirty-six of those students participated in the MESA event, which Mr. Kilcrease called, “A wonderful experience.” “I provided the resources and technical skills, the stu-

dents provided the hunger and the creativity,” said Mr. Kilcrease. “The students had to find the correct tools to solve the problem, work individually on their project, and work as a team for the competition. They did an amazing job.” Parents of the students are very proud of their accomplishments, too. “The enthusiasm these kids have is amazing,” said Jan Wren, parent of Walter’s student and MESA participant Hanna Sterritt. “Mr. K is the best teacher ever. He’s willing to work with any student and it really boosts the morale of the

whole school to see that these kids have achieved so much.” First, second and third place winners, as well as math delegates, will advance to the MESA Day Regional competition on April 30, at Sonoma State University. Walters is sending 11 students to the Regional Competition later this month. The following Walters Junior High students will compete at the April 30th event: Allyn Eaker, J.H.

BY SIMON WONG Non-profit East Bay Aviators, Inc. trades as Motivation and Learning Through Aviation (MALTA) and is well-known for its 332nd Fighter Group Historical Replica Project (332nd FGHRP), which maintains the traditions and the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen who viewed education as the key to opportunity and were the first generation of African-American military aviators to serve the United States with honor during World War II. Less well-known, however, is MALTA’s free training program, based in Hayward, for youth to earn their private pilot’s license. One reason is funding. Sponsorship and donations are desperately needed. Instead of 10 students per course, only one student can enroll, with office and hangar fees and other expenses at Hayward Executive Airport covered personally by East Bay Aviators, Inc. Executive Director Ben L. Henderson and the occasional donation. Only one volunteer instructor is available. The three-year old program is in danger of dying without help. It costs approximately $8,500 to qualify for a private pilot’s license; this includes Ground School, Flight Training with an instructor and the required solo hours before taking a flight test. The MALTA program is an opportunity for low-income, minority, at-risk and disadvantaged youth, age 12-17 years, to understand they have career choices and potential. The six-week course consists of theory and practice with hands-on training, time in a flight simulator and

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

classroom teaching with 10 hours per week of study – one day per week after school and on Saturdays. There are 10 hours of flying, 40 hours of mechanical skills/academic study and 10 hours of mentoring, tutoring and field trips. Agreements between the parent and student and between MALTA and the student are required. In 2009, Ezekiel Miller expressed an interest in learning to fly. His grandmother, Margie Brown, happened upon a two year-old article about MALTA during a “spring clean” in November 2010 and gave it to him. “First, we contacted Ben Henderson to see if the course was still offered. I then asked Ben if he might speak with Zeke to gauge the seriousness of his intent. Sometimes teenagers’ interests are fleeting. When Zeke went up in a plane in January 2011, it was evident he wanted to fly,” explained Brown. “I’m going through ground training which entails learning about the rules and regulations associated with flight. It’s akin to studying the driver’s handbook. Flying isn’t just about taking a plane up. The manual accompanies me everywhere so I can read it whenever there is down-time, such as on the BART. Ben’s Cessna-150 has dual-controls that enable my instructor Quincey Carr and me to take turns to fly. A soft touch is required,” stated Miller. Miller, a Berkeley High School student who will turn 17 in May, keeps an open mind about his career paths. For now, he is simply working towards his private pilot’s license. He is happy to remain a private pilot

nance mechanic who is working on his Airframe certification. Bassett echoes Carr’s sentiments about the need to practice. With a certificate number he has the authority to sign-off maintenance jobs and produce reports. Becoming a mechanic entails passing oral, practical and written tests. “The US is one the few countries that certifies its mechanics to work on all aircraft types but the mechanic’s training record must show that s/he is qualified for a given maintenance job on a particular aircraft. In other countries, mechanics are certified to work only on a specific type of aircraft, such as an Airbus or 747,” Henderson added. “Many youngsters think they must reach adulthood before learning to fly. There are some, as young as nine-years old, in other parts of California who hold a private pilot’s license. MALTA’s program deserves support because of its great benefits,” concluded Brown. For more information about East Bay Aviators (MALTA), to make a donation, sponsor a student or offer a scholarship, visit www.maltaviation.org, call Ben Henderson on (510) 259-1062 or email donations@maltaviation.org and ben@maltaviation.org.

if commercial aviation does not capture his interest. “You need at least 40 hours of flight for a private pilot’s license and 250 hours to qualify as a licensed commercial pilot,” explained Carr who volunteers as Miller’s instructor with the MALTA program. “The way to become a flight instructor or obtain a flying job is to accumulate additional time which can include teaching. Flight instructors typically have between 900 and 1,200 hours of flight which is costly. The military is one way of achieving that goal but you’re required to serve for approximately eight years before attending flight school.” There are examinations. The

private pilot’s written test book contains 900 questions of which 60 are presented for the test; the student must score 70 percent to pass. There is also a three-hour oral examination on the same 60 questions on the day of the private pilot check ride plus a 90minute solo flight. “Ultimately, the time it takes to qualify depends on the student but I’d recommend they don’t prolong the process otherwise they will need to refresh their memories,” added Carr. “Once qualified, it’s important to fly regularly, too.” Through the MALTA program, Henderson also mentors and tutors Alex Bassett, a FAAcertified Powerplant mainteSudoku Solutions

Police: Pa. trucker saved from choking by crash AP WIRE SERVICE READING, Pa. (AP), Mar 30 _ A Pennsylvania trucker may have saved his own life with an unintentional and very elaborate Heimlich maneuver. Police say 55-year-old Richard Paylor, of Fairless Hills, Bucks County, was eating an apple as he drove on a busy highway in Reading when he began choking Tuesday morning. Authorities say Paylor then lost consciousness and crashed through a concrete median. The Reading Eagle reports investigators believe the apple was dislodged when Paylor smacked his chest against the steering wheel. Police recovered a chunk of apple from the dashboard. Investigators spoke with doctors who backed up their conclusion that the accident dislodged the offending fruit. ___ Information from: Reading Eagle, http://www.readingeagle.com/

alligator continued from page 16

Tuesday afternoon and went outside to investigate. That's when he saw a large hole in the screened patio and a 10-foot alligator in the swimming pool. Donovan called his wife, Annemarie, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which sent alligator trapper Candy Moniz to fetch the gator from the pool. The gator will be put down under Florida's nuisance policy and Moniz will get to sell the meat and pelt. Wildlife officials recently issued an advisory about alligators being more active this time of year. Officials urge people to be especially vigilant at dusk and dawn, and to never feed alligators. --Information from: St. Petersburg Times, http://tampabay.com

Local shelter receives large legacy SUBMITTED BY MELODY APPLETON The Family Emergency Shelter Coalition (FESCO) announced Monday that it received a surprise bequest of $25,669 from Gertrude “Trude” Bloomfield Campe, a former resident of San Leandro, California.

Ms. Campe was born on November 27, 1920 in the Whitechapel District of London, England. As a young girl she spent time in an orphanage with her younger brother and sister when her mother died and her father was unable to care for the children. Mrs. Campe immigrated to Canada in the early 1950s, where she worked as a nanny. In 1955, along with a few friends, Ms. Campe traveled to San Francisco where she decided to make her home. During her lifetime, Ms. Campo started over several times with no more than she could carry in a few suitcases. During these periods she was helped by various social agencies and would eventually work for the Salvation Army in San Francisco and East Bay communities. Ms. Campe lived in San Leandro with her husband from 1993 through 2001. Ms. Campe frequently talked about individuals and agencies that had helped her throughout her life. She set up a living trust and lived frugally so that her estate could be distributed to organizations that help others, locally, nationally and internationally. Her estate reached close to $400,000, said Robert Olsen, Trustee of Ms. Campe’s estate. “This bequest from Ms. Campe highlights the impact that people of modest means can have through charitable planned giving,” said FESCO executive director Cate Steane. “Estate gifts from a donor of modest means, like Ms. Campe, can have a huge impact on an organization of FESCO’s size, ensuring that we can continue our work to end family homelessness until the job is done.” continued on page 36

AP Wire Service PASCAGOULA, Mississippi (AP), Apr 14 - A pharmacist in southeastern Mississippi says some drug store burglar got a surprise when they broke into his business to steal the pain medication Lortab - the pills had been replaced with beans. Pharmacist Mac Clark works at Fred's Drug Store in Pascagoula and told WLOX TV the store has broken into several times in the past six months, and each time the burglars got Lortab. He decided he needed a decoy. He put kidney beans in a large Lortab bottle. Around 6 a.m. Wednesday, the burglars came back. The only thing stolen was the Lortab bottle filled with beans. Investigators believe the burglar cut him or herself during the break-in because they found a trail of blood leading away from the building.

AP WIRE SERVICE FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP), Mar 28 - The frigid weather worked for Fort Wayne police but against a shivering man suspected of stealing a motorcycle. The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne reported Monday that a half-

hour, high-speed chase involving a 19-year-old man and police ended when the cyclist stopped, well, cold. Police say the man could no longer see during the Sunday chase on Interstate 69 because of the frigid air blasting into his unprotected eyes. He was arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. He faces fleeing and theft charges. The temperature was below 40 degrees at the time of the chase.

BY PAN PYLAS AP BUSINESS WRITER LONDON (AP), Apr 20 Strong earnings statements in the U.S. helped global stocks rebound Wednesday after a warning over the U.S. credit rating earlier this week had rattled investors. The euro, meanwhile, hit a fresh 15-month high against the dollar as investors' appetite for risk returned. A number of high-profile U.S. companies, such as investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc., chipmaker Intel Corp. and jet engine maker United Technologies Corp. have delivered earnings that beat analysts' expectations, boosting stocks in the run-up to the Easter weekend, when many of the world's exchanges

BY FRANCESCA LEVY AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Apr 20 Strong earnings from technology companies including Intel Corp. sent stocks soaring Wednesday. The Nasdaq composite index had its biggest one-

will be closed for four days. There will be more earnings statements later, with Apple Inc. likely to grab the most attention. “The reporting season continues to provide fuel for the fire,” said Anthony Grech, head of research at IG Index. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed up 2.1 percent at 6,022.26 while Germany's DAX rose 3.0 percent to 7,249.19. The CAC-40 in France ended 2.5 percent higher at 4,004.62. In the U.S., where another solid housing survey added to the positive tone, stocks extended Tuesday's bounceback the Dow Jones industrial average was up 1.7 percent at 12,468.60 while the broader

Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.5 percent to 1,331.77. On Monday, U.S. stocks posted their biggest one-day drop in over a month following a warning from Standard & Poor's that the U.S.'s credit rating had a one-in-three chance of being downgraded given the state of the public finances and worries that policymakers won't be able to come up with a credible deficit reduction plan. That had consequences around the world, with indexes in Europe tracking Wall Street's decline. Asian markets retreated when they opened for business Tuesday before the earnings statements and the housing data helped calm the waters. In the currency markets, the dollar has given up all the gains it made in the immediate aftermath of the S&P warning, when it benefited from its status as a safe haven and expectations that U.S. policymakers would rise to the debt challenge now that it was in the spotlight. The dollar had also advanced against the euro early in the week by mounting concerns

that the Greek government will have no option but to seek a way to lessen its debt burden - a potential restructuring would have ramifications all round the eurozone as investors wonder whether Greece would be followed by others. However, those fears were no longer weighing on the euro. By late afternoon London time, the currency was trading 1.4 percent higher at $1.4519, its highest level since January 2010. The euro is a direct beneficiary of improved investor appetite for risk. When investors feel more confident about making supposedly riskier trades, the euro often rises against the dollar. For most of this year, the euro has gained ground despite ongoing debt problems in a number of countries, including Portugal and Greece. That's because the markets are pricing in further interest rate increases from the European Central Bank following its first in nearly three years earlier this month, in contrast to the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is not expected to raise borrowing costs for a while yet. “Foreign exchange movements are generally reflecting renewed global demand for risk

and yield,” said Vassili Serebriakov, a currency strategist at Wells Fargo Bank. Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 climbed 1.8 percent to close at 9,606.82 despite a government report showing that exports for March dropped for the first time in 16 months - one of many consequences felt from the mammoth earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country's industrial northeast last month. The index is down more than 6 percent since the March 11 disaster. South Korea's Kospi added 2.2 percent to 2,169.91, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.6 percent to 23,896.10. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 1.4 percent to 4,859. Mainland China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.3 percent to 3,007.04. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan and New Zealand also rose. In the oil markets, prices remained elevated as the fighting in Libya continued. Benchmark crude for June delivery was up $2.43 to $110.71 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ---Pamela Sampson in Bangkok contributed to this report.

day jump in six months. The Nasdaq rose 57, or 2 percent, to 2,802 in early afternoon trading. The technologyfocused index hasn't risen that much since Oct. 5. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 200 points, or 1.6 percent, to 12,467.

Intel rose 6 percent, the most of the 30 companies in the Dow average, after the chip-maker reported that its income rose 29 percent in the first quarter because of rising demand for personal computers. The results easily beat analysts' expectations and allayed concerns that surging

sales of tablet computers would hurt Intel's results. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 19, or 1.5 percent, to 1,331. Amphenol Corp. rose 6 percent, the most of any company in the S&P 500 index, after reporting that its earnings per

share rose 31 percent. The company makes fiber optic connectors and electrical equipment. Several other prominent companies also reported much stronger earnings. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. continued on page 31

jumped 4 percent after the mining company's income came in well ahead of analysts' expectations. Industrial conglomerate United Technologies Corp. rose 4 percent after its income rose 17 percent, also beating Wall Street expectations. The company also raised its forecast for 2011 profit.

Wynn Resorts Ltd. rose 7 percent after its revenue climbed 39 percent. The casino operator opened a new Macau resort and won more money from gamblers at table games in Las Vegas. The stronger corporate earnings reports came after mainly disappointing results released last week. Google Inc. and Alcoa Inc. were among the big

SoCal grocery workers vote on strike authorization AP WIRE SERVICE

LOS ANGELES (AP), Apr 20 - More than 60,000 Southern California grocery workers are voting on whether to authorize a strike against some of the state's largest supermarket chains. Members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770 began voting at 8 a.m. Wednesday and will continue through the day. Members are being urged to give union representatives permission to call a strike if contract negotiations bog down. The union contract with the owners of Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons expired last month. In a statement, chapter President Rick Icaza accuses the market negotiators of failing to offer significant proposals on pay and health benefits. The companies said last week that the vote is premature because talks continue. A four-month strike and lockout that began in 2003 cost Ralphs and other grocery chains an estimated $2 billion.

companies whose earnings didn't live up to expectations. “The contrast from last week is driving stocks,” said Clark Yingst, chief market analyst at investment bank Joseph Gunnar. IBM Corp. also beat earnings expectations but the stock was flat after the company said it signed fewer overseas contracts. Yahoo Inc. rose 5 percent

after reporting that cost-cutting efforts pushed its earnings above Wall Street's expectations. Yahoo also reported a 10 percent jump in display advertising. Not all companies beat expectations. Altria Group Inc. fell 0.6 percent after reporting that it sold fewer cigarettes. AT&T Inc. fell 0.5 percent

after saying it pulled in the lowest number of new subscribers for iPhones because of competition from Verizon. Wells Fargo & Co. fell 4 percent, the most of any company in the S&P 500. The bank reported a sharp decline in new mortgages. qqq

Alameda County grapples with budget gap SUBMITTED BY ALAMEDA COUNTY ADMINISTRATION Alameda County is projecting a $137.9 million budget gap for the 2011-12 fiscal year. County Administrator Susan S. Muranishi said the budget gap reflects economic factors squeezing County finances – revenue declines that include the loss of millions in federal stimulus dollars and the expiration of State vehicle license fee funds for public safety programs, combined with increased costs driven by ris-

ing retirement and health care premiums. Muranishi also noted that Alameda County’s use of a wide array of one-time reduction strategies to close past budget shortfalls exacerbates the coming year’s funding gap and limits the County’s options to close it. “By itself the budget shortfall we face in the coming fiscal year is very large,’’ Muranishi said. “But this comes on the heels of several difficult budget years that have forced us to make significant reductions. Our budgetbalancing options now are

limited and are likely to be very difficult, further diminishing our resources as demand for County services continues to climb.’’ The projected budget gap was released at a meeting of Alameda County’s Budget Workgroup, a committee of County elected officials, department heads, community stakeholders and concerned residents who meet regularly to help the County prepare its annual budget. The County’s financial update comes only a few weeks after Governor continued on page 38

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY DENNY STEIN “Wanna go to Vegas?!” It’s an invitation I dread. I don’t gamble, smoke or drink. I don’t much care for crowds, noisy drunks, sleazy “girly ad” vendors, loud blaring music, or scantily clad Midwesterners. But I’m a good sport, and if you’re going to a convention, or a pool tournament, I’ll go along and find something to amuse me. Honest. First, let’s save some money. TIP: On-line deals are everywhere for Vegas. The Trump International Hotel Las Vegas had a special for $129 a night.

Southwest Airlines had $46 one-way tickets available. Fox Rent a Car is a local (western) company that has much better rates than the big name auto rental companies. Las Vegas is not a cheap proposition, but you can make a dent in it. The Trump International Hotel is somewhat of an anomaly. Just off the Strip, on Fashion Show Drive, it is a non-smoking, no casino hotel. Already I’m pleased. You can walk to the Strip, take the bus, the monorail, or taxis to enjoy your individual vices, see a show, or just explore, but when you

get back, the focus is on your comfort. The room decor at the Trump is tasteful and calm; the furniture made with quality materials, the color scheme subdued browns, whites and black, with touches of gold. The bed was comfortable, made up with high quality linens, the couch and chairs inviting. Our windows looked out onto highway, sky and mountains, and a large billboard featuring a woman’s generous torso that echoed the hills. If you looked to the right, the Vegas Strip curved around and the Riviera, Circus Circus and the Stratosphere hove into view. We had a refrigerator, stove and bar. TIP: Stay somewhere really nice, pop out and get your own cereal, milk, peanut butter and jelly, tuna and mayo, crackers and cheese. If you can’t go all out, then live high, dine low. Room service is pricey. But I have to admit that the lobby level DJT Restaurant was lovely. It is small with curved booths around a central pier. Set into the walls are semi-private tables, much like you’d find in Middle Eastern bistros. Evidently from the laughter emanating from behind another wall, there were also private dining areas. The wait staff was

friendly and helpful, especially welcome to a solo diner who requests a light dinner and a list of ingredients. Fresh salmon and delicate scallops, accompanied by a croquette of beet rissoto proved to be not only light, but attractively plated and delicious. TIP: Remember the net! The Spa at Trump had a great on-line package deal, “The Heart of Trump,” for a facial, massage and pedicure. Included in the package price was a donation to the American Heart Association and a CD of music heard in the spa. As my erstwhile traveling companion and pool player left for tournaments, I donned my compli-

April 22, 2011

mentary thick fluffy robe and “elevatored” down 46 floors to the spa. It was delicious. Sparkling clean, sparkling tiles and glass, icy carafes of water with lemon or cucumber, exotic teas, apples and bananas are available in the comfortable lounge area. My spa services were provided by Joanne, Tricia and April. Each woman was talented, professional, and friendly and had that invaluable sense of when to chat and when to just let you drift away on your own thoughts. And no one pressured me to buy products that I didn’t want. “The Heart of Trump” may be an oxymoron, but the spa and its staff won my heart. I went back to my room absolutely refreshed. There is a Resort Fee at the Trump, but surprisingly it was totally reasonable. $19.95 a day covered free valet parking, high speed Wi-Fi, use of the spotless Fitness Center, plenty of bottled water, daily newspapers, a 10% hotel store discount, a $25 spa discount, printing of faxes and your boarding pass, and a courtesy shuttle to Caesar’s Palace and The Wynn. Plus, they offered late checkout. TIP: The Trump welcomes dogs, for a fee, and though we left our little one at home, there were several to be

room with about ten ceiling to floor poles, plenty of leopard print chairs, black and red décor and a roaring fire at one end; sexy dance music pulsed through the room and hips couldn’t help but sway. The atmosphere was almost seductive. First lesson: Lap Dancing. I learned new meanings for “cookie” and “piñata,” and secret insider tips: there’s no touching in lap dancing, “don’t grind, just brush,” keep balanced or you’ll fall down, and if falling forward, re-balance while picking up the tips off the floor. There was a lot of laughter. Jada, who had the legs, strength and balance of an athlete, said it was much easier to dance in front of women, since they understood the skill and power that were needed, but easier to take money from men.

seen in line to check-in or going out for a walk. Semi-eager to try something new, I had used a social networking coupon site to see what else Las Vegas offered. I found a Groupon.com deal for “Stripper 101, How to Learn to Pole Dance!” at Planet Hollywood’s V Theater. And it was half off. So Friday afternoon I took my trepidatious little old lady self over there, checked in, and waited at the tiny stripper bar next to the theatre. It really wasn’t all that scary; four TV screens flickered silently with basketball, motocross, and Jackass shows, one firefighter/stripper pole stood empty on a small platform in the center, and people were eating bar food at several tables. Groups of “students” signed in and had their picture taken around a leopard print covered

chair and brass pole, with the promise of a print - $10, available after the class. Dress ranged from sensible to wannabe stripper, but the majority, young and old, wore sneakers, tees or tank tops, and a few sported feather boas. There were ladies from Wisconsin “looking for something new to do,” young women on premarital sprees, and “why not?!” girls, all nervous but game for some Las Vegas fun. And it was fun. Stripper 101 is really an interactive show, and the instructor, Jada, was a consummate entertainer. She had a great spiel, a great body, was funny, encouraging and kind. She’d been stripping for ten years, and instructing here for three; she was married (no children) and worked about three jobs to make ends meet. We were ushered into a small

Trying to pole dance was really difficult unless you are in great shape (and I don’t mean curvaceous). Wrapping legs, arms and torso around the pole, jumping up and sliding down, or stretching sexily without throwing out a vital joint takes daily practice. By the time the class ended with Jada hanging upside down by her legs from the pole, everyone was breathless, envious, and enlightened. The last step was receipt of an Official Stripper License, with your own stripper name. Mine reads: “This is to certify that Botoxxia has completed Stripper 101,” and is signed by Jada. I think I’ll frame it next to my law degree. Las Vegas, though, is usually about being in the audience, not on stage. The best show in Vegas, for my money, is Cirque

du Soleil’s “O” at the Bellagio. Incorporating all the mystery and adventure of its traveling shows (see the review of Quidam in the March 22, 2011 edition), “O” adds the primal depth of water. At center stage lies a large pool out of which swim, float and crawl the dreams, hopes and nightmares of humanity. These painted, striped, bejeweled characters fly through the air and traverse mist-shrouded plains. They defy the gravities of earth, sea and imagination. To see a preview of the spectacular “O”, go to the Cirque website, http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/ en/shows/o. Then go to Las Vegas and drown yourself in the drumbeats and swirling colors of “O” up close. If you look up Trump International Las Vegas Hotel, ignore the ads showing women who are preternaturally blonde and pathologically thin accompanied by a man with dark looks, greasy hair and a five o’clock shadow. The lobby will be filled instead with conventioneers discussing large earth moving equipment, teen-age prom queens, and the ubiquitous families from Wisconsin or North Carolina. The folks who work at the Trump will treat you like royalty and answer your questions, call cabs, give you extra towels, and chat about your day. There was a certain quality about their niceness that made it genuine, and the hotel comfortable, easy to enjoy. As Carlos and Roger, working the nightshift, told me, “We enjoy having guests.”

So go to Vegas, it can be affordable, entertaining and harmless. TIP: What happens in Vegas shouldn’t stay in Vegas because it all makes a great story.

BY SANJNA SHUKLA On Monday, April 11, the Bay Area lost respected and loved water polo and swim coach, Joseph Martinez. Martinez, 28, was dedicated to coaching both water polo and swimming, and his passing has affected many involved in Fremont aquatic programs. Both athletes and parents are devastated by the unexpected loss of such a motivational and inspirational human being. “When I started out playing for Coach Joe in fourth grade, we would lose games 22-1. Without Joe, there is no way we would be where we are now,” Ohlone Renegades’ water polo player Tatiana McCuaig reminisced about the coach. Martinez coached both women’s and men’s water polo at Ohlone, and was involved in

various aquatic programs around Fremont for the past 10 years. Laura Conn, McCuaig’s fellow polo teammate, was also coached by Martinez from a very young age. “I’ve known Joe since I was 9, and it’s not only losing a coach, it’s like losing a father,” said Conn. “He never asked anything of us, but to give a 110 percent. Walking out onto the pool deck isn’t going to be the same.” Grant Huang, a member on the Ohlone Renegades’ men’s’ water polo team, reminisced about his time with the coach. “Joe was one of those coaches who dedicated his whole life into polo and swimming. He would have wanted us to remember him as an inspiration for us to work harder than we have before. He put his heart into us improving not only in

Teri Westerhoff, a parent of two water polo athletes, said of the coach, “Joe wasn’t a rich man, but he was a rich man. Just look at all the relationships he cultivated. He was rich, and how he’s drawing us all together: He’s made the swimming and water polo community one big family.” Coach Joe was known for his close and personal relationships with each and every one of his athletes.

Martinez was also heavily involved in the Mission San Jose High School aquatics program. He coached girls water polo, as well as boys and girls swimming. MSJ Athletics Director Thomas Thomsen was a close colleague and friend to Martinez. “He spent countless hours of his day dedicating himself to his athletes. His mentorship was invaluable to so many young adults. The many lives he touched will always remember Joe for his never ending love and friendship.” In order to honor and celebrate what would have been Martinez’s 29th birthday, MSJ organized a candlelight memorial. People were encouraged to celebrate his birthday, and reflect on all the happy times that they spent with the coach. Cory Audiat, who will now be the sole coach for the MSJ swim teams, said of the late coach: “Joe was such an influential role model, friend and teammate. He was so loved and appreciated by everyone. This is not only a loss to Mission, but also to the city of Fremont. It’s amazing the impact one individual can have on so many. We all loved him so much, and we all still do.” Coach Martinez was a loved and respected coach, and he will truly be missed.

Apr 01 - Figuring out which pitchers have the best control has been relatively easy. Look at

the number of strikes and balls each one throws. Command is a more elusive, yet equally important, measurement. That's because hitting the catcher's target can often be the difference between an effective waste pitch just outside the strike zone and a fastball that catches too much of the plate and becomes a home run.

nightly news and the public needs to keep in mind that we have young people in harm's way.” Grate’s daughter Clarke, who wrote a message to send to the troops, added, “I want the troops to know we are thinking of them.” Cal State East Bay Pioneers softball will close out the season with a four-game home series against UC San Diego on Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23. Prior to the Saturday doubleheader, the Pioneers are set to honor their four seniors. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Pioneer Softball Field.

Teams will now have data on how close a pitcher comes to hitting his target on each pitch. “We're always asking teams, what's the one bit of data you wish you had,” said Ryan Zandler, the general manager of baseball products at Sportvision - the company behind football's yellow first-down marker, hockey's glowing puck and

baseball's Pitch F/X system. “Consistently over the last year or so it has been to track the catcher's glove.” So Sportvision is using the same three cameras that record the velocity, trajectory and location of every major league pitch to determine how closely each continued on page 36

Page 36 continued from page 25

pitcher comes to hitting the catcher's target in the new Command F/X system. The information is most useful on fastballs and can help measure command and show whether pitchers tend to lose it after a certain number of pitchers or in specific situations. “It definitely gives you a better sense when evaluating your own players on whether they need to take their fastball command up a notch,'' Oakland assistant general manager David Forst said. “If you look at a guy who doesn't grade out well on that, but is having a lot of success, it's always nice to project what he could do if the command and ability to hit the glove improves.” Sportvision has crunched only the numbers from last June and they mostly reinforce perception. Control specialist Roy Halladay had the second best mark to former Philadelphia teammate Jamie Moyer, missing his target on fastballs by an average of 9.6 inches, compared with the league average of 12.9. Current teammate Cliff Lee was slightly behind at an average of 11.2 inches, with Cole Hamels hitting exactly the league average and Roy Oswalt being slightly worse. Some players are skeptical. “None of the information they're going to be rendering is going to be applicable to my preparation nor (catcher) Kurt Suzuki's preparation,” Oakland starter Dallas Braden said. “While it might produce some numbers and some other form of sabermetrics, it will not be applied in our every day preparation to go compete.” Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters said he thought it might be helpful in bullpen sessions but didn't see how it would work in games when he is sometimes trying to hide his target from potential sign stealers. “Some catchers set up inside with no movement outside, or they set up so late it would just be hard to gauge,” he said. “And sometimes, you're giving a target in one place but you're trying to bounce it. So how you going to tell on those?”

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

San Francisco catcher Buster Posey also said his target varies depending on the pitcher so he doesn't know how reliable the numbers would be. Still, he's willing to give this a chance. “It's always good to try different stuff out though,” he said. “You never know, you might get some good use out of it. I'm always open to trying different things.” Pitch F/X has been in every major league ballpark since 2008 and Sportvision soon will be able to assemble the Command F/X data for the past three seasons. The Pitch F/X numbers are widely used in broadcasts, on Internet sites and by teams for additional analysis that was unavailable only a few years ago. Those same cameras are also used for Hit F/X, which tracks the speed and direction a ball comes off a bat each time a player makes contact. That can help determine whether a change in production can be attributed to a change in ability or a change in luck. For example, Seattle star Ichiro Suzuki had one month last season stick out for being far below his usual standards. While Suzuki hit just .246 last July, his average in every other month ranged from .307 to .344. So Sportvision looked to see if he was getting the same kind of contact in July as he was the rest of the season. The company found little change, with the average speed of the ball off the bat at 71 mph in July - right in the middle of his season range of 69 mph to 73 mph. That could that he was just hitting more balls at fielders in July, lessening the concern that his skills could be deteriorating. That kind of information could be invaluable to teams as they decide which players to acquire and how much to pay for them. It's just a matter of sifting through it all to find out what is relevant. “With an increasing amount of information available compared to a few years ago, it is certainly a challenge for a club to pick which information to base decisions on and how to analyze mounds and mounds of raw data out there,” Forst said. “One of the biggest issues now is figuring out what is useful and how much we rely on it to make decisions.” AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Sarasota, Fla., and AP Baseball Writer Janie McCauley in Oakland, Calif., contributed to this report.

Calif toddler craving fries found in parking lot AP WIRE SERVICE PLEASANTON, Calif. (AP), Apr 01 - A San Francisco Bay area toddler has been reunited with his mother after apparently stepping out for a bite to eat. The 2-year-old from Pleasanton was found in the parking lot of a Walmart wearing only a white T-shirt and diaper around 3 a.m. Thursday. Pleasanton police Sgt. Maria Munayer says he told investigators he wanted McDonald's french fries. There is a McDon-

ald's inside the Walmart. The boy appears to have awoken in the middle of the night, opened the front door of his apartment and headed out, crossing four lanes of a usually busy thoroughfare. Police say the knob on the front door is set low and automatically unlocks the deadbolt. His mother called 911 when she awoke around 6 a.m. to report her child missing. Police say there is no basis for any criminal charges against his mother.

It included his return address, allowing the Russian teen to track him down. Uesbeck and Korotkikh tell The Associated Press they have communicated over the Internet and plan to send each other letters.

Doing real science with NASA

omet Tempel 1 has received more attention than any other comet in the universe—as far as we know!

On July 4, 2005, a spacecraft named Deep Impact released an 820-pound probe right into its path—on purpose. The impact made a crater on the comet’s surface and sent a plume of comet dust into space. Meanwhile, the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft took pictures from below. Other instruments studied the dust plume to figure out what the comet was made of. But there was so much dust the spacecraft couldn’t see the crater the impactor had left.

Too bad. But wait! Another spacecraft, called Stardust, had finished its mission at another comet, called Wild 2. Stardust still had lots of pep and no place to go. “Let’s put Stardust back to work,” the NASA scientists said. So they planned another mission for Stardust, now called Stardust-NExT (for New Exploration of Tempel 1). It would have another look at Comet Tempel 1, which had finished its trip around the Sun since its meeting with Deep Impact. So, on February 14, 2011, NASA again met Comet Tempel 1. By this time, Tempel 1 was a little older and a little more “worn out.” Like all comets, when it was closest to the Sun in its orbit, it had warmed up, and some of its surface had evaporated, creating the comet’s coma and tail.

Comet Tempel 1 as seen by Deep Impact (left) on July 4, 2005, and Stardust-NeXT (right) on February 14, 2011.The dashed lines point to the same two craters. (The Deep Impact crater is just above the bottom of the two large craters.)

Stardust-NExT found the 500-foot crater left by Deep Impact. Scientists are studying the crater’s rim to see if it’s a little worn down. The blasted out material had settled into a mound in the center of the crater. Other formations had also changed. Scientists are studying the information from the two missions to Comet Tempel 1. What else will they discover about comets? The Space Place has lots of fun facts, games, and puzzles about comets and NASA’s comet missions. Go to spaceplace.nasa.gov and enter “comets” in the “Find it @ Space Place” field. This article was written by Diane K. Fisher.

Alameda County grapples with budget gap

Brown signed off on $11.2 billion in cuts to the State budget, reductions that largely will impact health and human services programs. These cuts mean that thousands of people in Alameda County are already bracing for significant impacts to services for low-income families, children and the elderly. Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson, who chairs the Budget Workgroup, said: “We have known for some time that this would be another difficult financial year, but Thursday’s news was still very difficult to receive. We are left now with some very difficult decisions in order to balance our budget ? decisions that no doubt will further hamper our ability to deliver services that are very important to people in our

community, those struggling to find adequate health care, child and senior care and other basic necessities.’’ Muranishi said Alameda County’s 2010-11 budget is balanced, and will end the current fiscal year in balance due to prudent budgeting and tough choices – including ongoing costcutting measures throughout the year. The large budget gap for 2011-12 is not unexpected – Alameda County leaders have known for some time that revenue declines due to the loss of federal stimulus funding and State and federal budget reductions, combined with increased demand for services, would outpace gains caused by a modest rebound in the local economy. County officials have also been

working with stakeholders – organized labor, community based organizations and other community partners – to keep them apprised of Alameda County’s budgetary difficulties so that they can begin to plan accordingly. Details of the budget presentation can be found at http://www.acgov.org/budget/B WG2011-04-14MOE.pdf. The Budget Workgroup will consider reduction targets for each program area to help guide decisions in trimming budgets. Muranishi said she plans on delivering a Proposed Alameda County Budget to the Board of Supervisors on June 9. Budget hearings are scheduled for midJune and it is hoped that the Board will adopt a Final Budget for 2011-12 on June 24.

Police easily spot holdup suspect in unique outfit

AP Wire Service AP Wire Service ASHLAND, Ore. (AP), Mar 22 - Some Oregon firefighters and paramedics are now equipped and trained to give first aid to dogs, cats and other pets. The Daily Tidings reports that Ashland Fire & Rescue firefighters were trained last week to do CPR on dogs, cats, ferrets, gerbils and even reptiles that have inhaled smoke. All five department engines now carry oxygen masks for pets. Division Chief Greg Case says rescuing pets involved in fires helps the entire family. Firefighters treat people first and will help pets if possible. Veterinarian Dr. Alice Sievers says smaller animals can be placed inside the masks, while the devices can be fitted over the nose or beak of larger animals. The department received equipment through a donation from Project Breathe.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP), Mar 18 - Police in Topeka, Kan., say one holdup suspect's unique outfit made it easy enough to find her - because she showed up hours later wearing the same clothes to watch the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade. Radio station WIBW-AM reports the 26year-old woman was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after an officer spotted her watching the parade along a downtown street. Authorities believe she entered a convenience store around 3:30 that morning holding a screwdriver and demanding money from a clerk. Surveillance tape showed her leaving the store in a bright blue warm-up suit with a broad yellow stripe - the same attire the officer noticed along the parade route hours later.
