BY WILLIAM MARSHAK Yes, there really is a natural history museum in Fremont. Although it exists on the periphery of consciousness of many Tri-City area residents, each year the museum attracts thousands of visitors including children from a wide swath of Northern California school systems. The Children’s Natural History Museum is a testament to the perseverance of its director, Dr. Joyce Blueford and houses the efforts of a group of “Boy Paleontologists” who helped make fossils found in the Fremont area famous. In fact, a geologic “stage” of about 1.8 million – 300,000 years BP (Before Present) is named for Irvington… the Irvingtonian North American Stage (Era). continued on page 17 INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

Czech president to be sent thousands of pens AP WIRE SERVICE PRAGUE (AP), Apr 13 Some Czechs were amused, others appalled. Now they

want to make sure their president never again feels the need to nab a pen. More than 5,000 Czechs have signed up to a Facebook campaign to mail pens to Vaclav Klaus as a video of him sheepishly pocketing one he took an obvious liking to during an official signing ceremony last week in Chile became widely popular on the Internet. Klaus says it's customary for leaders to keep pens after signing accords. But the manner in which he slipped the pen - encrusted with semiprecious Chilean stones - into his pocket underneath the desk while grinning was criticized by some of his countrymen. Vojtech Palous, a 23year-old student of medicine from Prague, says Klaus's actions were “absolutely inappropriate.”

Sunday May 8th 11:00-1:00 our honored guests and much more. This is an afternoon you won't want to miss! $15.00 per guest with reservation. Seating will be limited, please reserve early!

DIRECTOR RICHARD SANTOS SANTA CLARA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

The drought may be over, but conservation is still needed Now that the drought is officially over, many people might think that conservation is no longer needed. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. As Governor Brown himself pointed out, “the demand for water in California always outstrips the supply.” Which is why, here at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, we promote conservation as a way of life. Through our “Save 20 Gallons” campaign, we teach the public that by working together to each save 20 gallons of water a day, we can make a significant difference in our conservation numbers. In fact, the campaign was so successful last year that Santa Clara County residents exceeded our mandatory conservation goal of 15 percent by two whole percentage points. This year we’re only asking for 10 percent voluntary conservation and we’re confident that the community can accomplish these savings. To help homes and businesses reach their conservation goals, we offer a number of programs and unique tools. For instance, the water district has recently improved its Landscape Rebate Program, making it easier for customers in Santa Clara County to take advantage of the rebates. By replacing water-thirsty landscape with water-efficient

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

landscape and/or retrofitting existing irrigation equipment with high-efficiency irrigation equipment, residents and businesses can see significant water use savings. The program has been extremely popular and the district has recently streamlined the process by making it easier for people to apply and shortening the time it takes for applicants to get a rebate for their equipment or landscaping. Customers do need to prequalify and should not begin their project until they receive a written notice to proceed from the district. This is to help ensure that the project saves water and meets the program criteria. Program details, including the terms and conditions, are available on the Landscape Rebate webpage. For information on other rebates offered by the district, visit our conservation rebates page. To help individuals determine their water usage and identify the best ways for them to save 20 gallons every day, the water district recently introduced a new interactive watersaving calculator on our microsite www.save20gallons.org. The calculator allows site visitors to enter information about their water-use habits around the house, calculates how much water they are using, and provides simple tips as well as information about waterconservation rebates and services offered by the district. The calculator has been tailor made for Santa Clara County. For example, it calculates landscape water use based

on the two distinct micro-climates that exist in the northern and southern parts of the county. To inform people how much they should be using, the calculator also provides information on how much a waterefficient home in the county would use. As you fill in each segment of the calculator, it provides a summary of the results and a comparison between your water consumption and that of a water-efficient home, as well as information on how to improve water-efficiency in your home. While you are at the website, don’t forget to check the interactive house that allows visitors to explore areas of the house and garden to find ways to save water and learn about relevant rebates and services offered by the district. And remember, just because the drought is over, it doesn’t mean we all shouldn’t do our part to save 20 gallons every day!

As always, I am available for questions or comments as your District 3 representative for the northern areas of Sunnyvale and Santa Clara; Alviso; Milpitas; and the north San Jose and Berryessa communities. Feel free to contact me at (408) 234-7707.

Movie Review BY JENNIFER GAU

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Water for Elephants

“Water for Elephants” could be an option for a history in film class as an example of the

and storyline change slightly, but the movie still makes sense to someone who has not read the book. Moreover, someone who has read the book can re-

Great Depression. It presents a dismal episode of U.S. history, and the emotional challenges people faced during that time. Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is too devastated to continue veterinary school after his parents are killed in a car accident; job prospects are non-existent. So Jacob decides to peregrinate and see where the railroad tracks take him. He finds himself taking a job as the veterinarian of Benzini Bros, a travelling circus, and meeting beautiful Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Directed by Francis Lawrence, “Water for Elephants” is a magical tale of forbidden love and the tumultuous life of the circus. This movie deviates a bit from the original book written by Sara Gruen. Circumstances

late to the writers’ vision for each scene – the magnificent grandeur of Rosie, the elephant, and the fire behind Marlena’s eyes. The love story in “Water for Elephants” feels similar to “Titanic” (1997). The biggest difference is that Pattinson and Witherspoon do not have the spark of DiCaprio and Winslet. Jacob and Marlena’s relationship could develop more, but instead feels choppy. The wrinkle in their relationship stems from the presence of her psychotic husband, August (Christoph

Waltz). Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, 2009) delivers intensity and illustrates the problems of a ringmaster in 1931; pressure to sell enough tickets to keep the show running, and to be the best show on earth. August is a prime example of someone trapped in a job that is not a good fit for him. Waltz successfully draws the audience into understanding his position and personality deficiencies. Overall, the acting is decent, and costumes well fitted. Some scenes are difficult to watch for the treatment of animals. We can only hope that certain facts are fiction, but a part of us knows that people can surprise us when pushed to their limits. In the end, the story is too predictable and does not offer much to ponder. Runtime: 2 hour 2 minutes Rated: PG-13

Washington Women’s Center Celebrates Four Years of Service

While the journey is far from over, Dr. Dugoni is pleased that the Women’s Center has come so far so fast. “We started out with the vision of becoming a one-stop shop for women’s services in the community and I think we have achieved that with great

n today’s world, we expect it all. Plus, we want it in a convenient package. For four years now, the Washington Women’s Center and the Outpatient Imaging Center at Washington Hospital have been offering just that… The latest in imaging technology. The latest in breast cancer diagnostics. Cutting edge treatment. Yoga. Massage. Wait. Yoga and massage? Yes, those too. All of these services and more are easily accessible and provided in a comfortable, serene environment, thanks to the Women’s Center, which serves all women in the community, and the Outpatient Imaging Center, serving all patients referred for imaging studies. For Medical Director of the Women’s Center William Dugoni, M.D., seeing the center continue to expand its services and the women in the community it reaches has been the culmination of years of work, even before the center officially opened in 2007. “The team effort to make the Center what it is today has been immense,” he says. “Everyone involved in the Women’s Center’s success, from our physicians and nurses to the support staff, has been 100 percent committed to making sure that women receive the best possible care, education and guidance when they come through our doors.” Kathy Hesser, R.N., the Women’s Center’s clinical coordi-

For more than four years, the Washington Women’s Center and the Outpatient Imaging Center at Washington Hospital has worked together to improve the health of women in the Tri-City area.The Women’s Center not only offers diagnostic services like mammograms and breast cancer navigation, but also arthritis classes and massage.To learn more about the services and classes available through the Washington Women’s Center, visit www.whhs.com/womenscenter or call (510) 608-1301 for more information.

nator, adds that women benefit from the Center’s ability to bring all aspects of care—from physical to emotional—under one roof. “It’s nice because all of these services come together,” Hesser says. “The hospital has a Better Breathers support group upstairs and for those with trouble breathing and arthritis, our proximity works really well for them. We’ve also opened the afternoon section of our arthritis class to men. “Some of our cancer survivors are older and they have arthritis and the arthritis class is great for them. That was our goal: to have a good program for breast cancer and other women’s cancers, but we also

wanted something all women could come to and benefit from. I think often cancer survivors just want to be individuals and they want to be able to participate in things that aren’t always focused on the label of being a survivor.” As a result, the Women’s Center focuses on making everyone feel as healthy and whole as possible. “I think the breast diagnosis and cancer navigation both have been very successful programs in that the patient receives a phone call rather than just a letter in the mailbox announcing results,” she says. “There is a personal touch. It decreases your stress level to have someone to

My goal as the coordinator is to make sure they do grow roots and we have experienced instructors to maintain their quality.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI

iamonds might be a girl’s best friend, but Marilyn Monroe herself would suit most of the guys out there just fine. And who knew that she is what you get for turning 80? The special singing telegram was eagerly awaited by a collection of over 60 friends and family members gathered under the trees of Niles Community Park on Saturday, April 16 to celebrate the birthday of their beloved Meryilido “Medi” Sira. Siblings, kids, nephews and nieces, grandkids, great grandkids and friends came from the Tri-Cities and well beyond to surprise Medi with a day - and guest - he would never forget. A long time Marilyn Monroe fan, Medi attended a performance she gave for troops in the ‘50s while he was on tour in Korea, but only remembers the

beauty as being tiny and too far away to really see. He could never have imagined an encore performance over 50 years later, this time up close and personal. The iconic blond swept into the party as white and pristine as frosting on a cake, leaving the guy who’s never been at a loss for words in astonishment. Smiling in pleasure and disbelief, Medi dabbed at his eyes and tried to respond to Marilyn’s cooing banter. Amid kisses she serenaded him with “I Wanna Be Loved by You” and, of course, “Happy Birthday” before departing into the happy land of memory. Kids and adults alike were then treated to the Magic of Gerald Joseph before a picnic lunch and birthday cake. Medi began his life in Niles, born to Alberto and Heramedehilda Sira on April 13, 1931. He grew up in the historic town along with 16 younger brothers and sis-

ters, attending Niles Grammar School and making fond and lasting memories along the way. Medi fought in the Korean War from 1952-1954 as a proud U.S. Marine then returned to his local roots. He worked in Union City at Pacific States Steel Corporation for 28 years, and drove trucks for 35 years for Flurdly Trucking and Plato Nursery. He raised children Wayne, Albert, and Bernice with wife Patricia, and is now a grandfather of 10 and great-grandfather of 9. Of their 33 year union, Patricia jokes, “He stays on his side, I stay on my side.” Those who know him best call Medi a very outgoing and friendly person, an easy going guy who loves to joke around. Siblings recall him as a troublemaker, and agree that he hasn’t grown out of it, always ready to stir the pot for a little fun. Medi is a strong believer in putting family first, in always sticking

together and helping each other. Friend of almost 60 years Charlie Edell remembers Medi letting him use his 1959 Lincoln for the senior ball. “He’s wonderful, very, very funny, very caring,” says Edell. “He acts tough but he has a big heart.” Son Wayne tells of his dad collecting water from the springs and cutting firewood as a boy, and remembers riding around together in his dad’s dump truck. “My grandmother said he always meets a friend,” he says. “His personality is so outgoing.” Youngest sister Alice has fond memories of her older brother, recalling how when he came home he’d tell her to get his eddiwaz (slippers), and remembers the smell of Old Spice when he was getting ready to go out. “He’s really funny; he just always has something to say,” Alice says. “He’s the guy at the party everyone’s around.” Daughter Bernice’s admiration and love is clear and simple. “My dad is the dad everyone would want to have. He’s everything,” she says. Though he moved to Newark in 1977 where he still lives, Medi says, “All my memories are in Niles.” He thinks of his childhood a lot and marvels at how Niles has changed over the years, as well as the changes in childhood life. “If we wanted toys we had to make them,” he says. “We used to make scooters out of apricot boxes.” He remembers riding the trains that passed through town and talking to the engineers, flying kites, walking to school, playing marbles and with yo-yos. Medi says those days were a lot of fun. “I had a good life, a real good life.” Retired life finds Medi enjoying long drives, family get-togethers, and watching his grandkids in their various activities. He also spends two days a week at the Union Hall talking with friends about the old days. But now, there just might be some new tales to tell; after all, what can beat getting Marilyn Monroe on your birthday?

SUBMITTED BY EAST BAY SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS PHOTO BY GARY GIN They are cute, they are small and they are everywhere. They accompany celebrities on the red carpet, appear in Taco Bell commercials and are featured in their own movies. We see them in their own little carry-bags, with incredible clothes and jewelry. We love Chihuahuas. Too

often, that "awwwww" factor takes over and they become an impulse-buy, the next cute must-have accessory. Dogs of all sizes need proper socialization, care and training. These tiny guys are a whole lot of love - a big dog in a tiny body. Small dogs can live up to 20 years. The kids may be off to college but Tiny, the Chihuahua mix, will still be by your side. That is a long time and a whole lot of kibble. However, these dogs are wonderful for those looking for a long-term, indoors, high-energy companion. Still interested? Apparently, the challenge of owning these small dogs quickly becomes apparent for many unprepared owners, as evidenced by the numbers; as many as half of the homeless dogs currently in local communities are Chihuahuas, Chihuahua

mixes and small dogs below 15 pounds. Each year, more than 2,000 small dogs find themselves in shelters in Alameda County. This phenomenon appears to be regional and concentrated in California. Some shelters have sent these small dogs to other states where they are soon adopted. Get educated and find big love in a small package! The first annual Chihuahua Palooza is scheduled for the week of May 2 at many Bay Area shelters, including the Hayward Animal Shelter at 16 Barnes Court. The week includes fun activities, educational talks, materials and, of course, many wonderful, adoptable Chihuahuas and small-dog mixes will be available for adoption at reduced fees. Free or discounted spay and neuter services for owned small dogs will be offered. The Hayward Animal Shelter will charge $20 for Chihuahua and Chihuahua-mix adoptions plus licensing fees for City of Hayward residents. There will also be a limited number of free spay and neuter vouchers for Chihuahua's that reside in the City of Hayward with proof of Chihuahua ownership (photo or vet records). Each Chihuahua adoption will receive a goodie bag and free vouchers. All other fees apply (see panel).

SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Apr 20 - Golden Gate Bridge officials are considering putting the brakes on bicyclists who use the span. A plan expected to go before the bridge's Building and Operations Committee on Thursday would impose a speed limit of 10 mph on bicyclists. The Marin Independent Journal reports that the limit would drop to 5 mph in construction areas and around the bridge's towers. Violators could be hit with a $100 fine. There is currently no speed limit, and bridge officials say some bikers have been clocked going over 20 mph. Speed was cited as a factor in 39 percent of the 164 bicycle crashes on the span between 2000 and 2009. The proposal would likely go before the bridge's full board of directors on May 13 if it is approved by the Building and Operations Committee. --Information from: Marin Independent Journal, http://www.marinij.com

For over a million years, fossils of mammoths, sabertooth cats, mastodons, sloths and other large mammals lay buried in the Fremont foothills. A group of “Boy Paleontologists” under the direction of a science teacher, Wesley Gordon, created a national sensation in the 1940s as they uncovered bones from the beginning of the Ice Age (Pleistocene epoch) near the community of Irvington. These “finds” eventually found

their way to the museum within a few miles of their discovery. Managed by Math/Science Nucleus, the Children’s Natural History Museum has recently expanded in size and includes exhibits that display fossils, a “stardome” and “walk though time,” shells, rocks and tools of early humans. And in the “Hall of Small Wonders,” visitors can peek into a micro world of sea creatures. A museum shop allows visitors to expand their experience with mementos of their visit and continue exploration of the natural world through books, games, gadgets and experiments. Leadership Fremont is a “class” formed annually by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce to learn more about their community and take an active role in

its progress. Speaking for this year’s group, Dr. Vera Packard noted, “It’s been an amazing ride!” Each class picks a project to “engage and enhance” the community. A brainstorming discussion, moderated by Team Manager Kathy Hunt, resulted in a desire to work on something that involved children, education and created a legacy for future generations. This year’s Leadership Fremont class selected the Children’s Natural History Museum as its work project, designing and supporting the construction of a patio adjacent to the museum building for lunch/snack breaks and outdoor activities. Blueford said that attendance at the museum could double if a safe and comfortable place for snacks and lunch could be found on the museum grounds. That was all that the Leadership group needed to hear; they got to work planning, organizing, fundraising and finding a construction partner. Amazed at the community’s response to appeals for assistance, Packard was overwhelmed by the generosity of local companies and individuals proving the adage, “The first attitude we need in life is the attitude of gratitude.” Some of those who supported the project were acknowledged at a ribbon cutting event Wednesday, April 20. They include: Cargill Salt, Leadership members, Washington Hospital Healthcare, Fremont Police Association, Kaiser Permanente, Allied Waste of Alameda County, Advanced Micro Devices, Fremont Firefighters Association, Kevin & Ellen Woods, William Jennings, Corbin Willits Systems, Inc., Royal Ambulance, Wesley Liu One of the Boy Paleontologists, Phil Gordon attended the ceremonies

and Stahl Companies. A special “Thank You” was extended to Greg Robillard of Robillard Construction for his generous assistance building the patio. Additional funds are still needed to install a floor of recycled material for the patio. One of the Boy Paleontologists, Phil Gordon interrupted a trip to Southern California, driving all night to attend the ceremonies marking completion of the project. Blueford noted, “This is the first time I have allowed an outside group to do everything.” Although hesitant at first, standing under the trellis of the new area, she concluded “I am totally convinced that the community is ready to help the Math/Science Nucleus provide even more services; I want to applaud the Leadership Fremont Class of 2011.” California Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski was present to issue a proclamation recognizing the accomplishments of the Math/Science Nucleus. Other dignitaries in attendance included Fremont Unified School District Boardmember Lara York and Superintendent Dr.

Jim Morris, Chamber of Commerce CEO Cindy Bonoir and chamber representatives Nina Moore and K.K. Kaneshiro. Bonoir spoke of the commitment of the business community, especially members of Leadership Fremont classes, to reach out and help make their community successful. She summarized class efforts saying, “All individuals in Leadership Fremont make a big commitment – a nine month commitment - to this program. This year, they have put a lot of time and effort into what has created an environment where kids can learn, expand their knowledge and grow as individuals.” Members of the 2011 Leadership Fremont class include: Walt Birkedahl, Mike Engle, Michelle Griese, Hasieb Lemar, Kathy Hunt, Toni Lyons, Chris Jung, Mike Moore and Vera Packard Math/Science Nucleus Children’s Natural History Museum 4074 Eggers Drive, Fremont (510) 790-6284 www.msnucleus.org

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY MEENU GUPTA PHOTOS COURTESY OF UNION CITY PD AP WIRE SERVICE KOHLER, Wis. (AP), Apr 20 - Toilet aficionados need look no further: A Wisconsin company is promising "a figment of beauty and geometry" complete with piano music, feet warmers and a heated seat - if you're willing to flush out nearly $6,400. Kohler Co. is preparing to release its new high-end Numi toilet, which was four years in the making and offers a slew of comfort amenities. The company describes its latest throne as "the ultimate flushing experience." Fighting about who left the seat up? Not anymore. The Numi automatically closes and raises the adjustable-height toilet cover when it senses your presence. If you'd like, it can greet you with the sound of rushing water and soothing piano music. Too dark in the bathroom? Also not a problem. A night light in the bidet guides you to the heated seat. And if your feet are cold, a floor-level vent blows warm air to keep your toes toasty. If you might be a while and forget the newspaper sports page, fear not: plug in your iPod or turn on the built-in FM radio. Then a charcoal-filter deodorizer will keep the air fresh, and the bidet offers an array of options for temperature, water pressure and even spray pattern. Depending on how long you've been sitting, the Numi will flush with a 0.6-gallon or 1.28-gallon flow. Between jobs it bombards bacteria with a 45-minute dose of germ-killing ultraviolet light. The Numi costs $6,390 plus installation and will be available in the fall in the U.S. and Asia. “It is our most advanced toilet,” product manager Mike Marbach told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “At Kohler Co., we are always trying to be on the leading edge, and this product is really a blend of leading-edge technology and leading-edge design, and not sacrificing one for the other.” Marbach said toilets with bidets are more widely embraced in Asia, ``but it's definitely a trend we see in the U.S. that's growing,'' he said. --The Journal Sentinel's report can be found at: http://bit.ly/fJaWEl --Information from: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, http://www.jsonline.com

WASHINGTON (AP), Apr 27 The Federal Reserve's chief policymaking group has vast power over the finances of ordinary people, businesses and investors. The consequences of its interest-rate decisions range wide: from people's ability to get affordable loans to the price of cereal at the grocery store or gasoline at the corner station. Here's a look at the policymaking group, called the Federal Open Market Committee. Q: What is the FOMC's primary role? A: Its mission is to keep the economy, inflation and employment on a healthy track. When the economy weakens, Fed policymakers cut rates or keep them low. The idea is to cause people and businesses to borrow and spend more, which sustains the economy. But when the economy grows so fast that inflation becomes a threat, Fed policymakers will raise rates or keep them high. That makes it costlier for people to borrow. Spending and other economic activity will slow. Companies find it harder to raise prices. Inflation pressures ease.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Q: How does the FOMC move interest rates? A: Its policymakers decide whether to buy securities. Doing so expands the flow of money into the financial system and lowers the Fed's key interest rate. Conversely, the policymakers could decide to sell securities. That would drain money from the system and tighten credit by raising rates. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is responsible for conducting these operations. Q: Who's on the committee? A: It's composed of: • The Fed's Board of Governors in Washington, which now totals five members but at full strength has seven members. • The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. • Four of the remaining 11 presidents of the Fed's regional banks. They serve one-year terms on a rotating basis. Here is Tuesday's roster of voting members: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen, and Fed Governors Elizabeth Duke, Daniel Tarullo and Sarah Bloom Raskin, all based in Washington; William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago; Charles

Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia; Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas; and Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Q: How often does the FOMC meet? A: It regularly meets eight times a year in person at the Fed's headquarters in Washington. During the financial crisis, the FOMC also held emergency meetings, mostly by video conference. This year and last year, half the meetings were two-day sessions, the rest one-day. By contrast, all the regularly scheduled meetings in 2009 took two days. That was because the Fed needed time to devise unconventional programs to fight the financial crisis. Traditionally, one-day meetings are more common. Each one-day meeting runs roughly five hours. Two-day meetings run about eight hours spread over the two days. Q: Why are most of the FOMC's rate decisions issued around 2:15 p.m.? A: Having a consistent time helps investors digest and react to the Fed's policy decisions. Issuing decisions when the markets are open gives Fed policymakers instant feedback from investors. Q: Why are some of the FOMC's rate decisions issued around 12:30 p.m.? A: For the first time in the Fed's history, the chairman is conducting a series of regularly scheduled news conferences to discuss the Fed's forecast. Bernanke's first was held Wednesday. They will be held four times a year, after the Fed concludes its two-day meetings to update its economic forecasts on growth, employment and inflation. So, after those meetings, the FOMC's decisions are released earlier, around 12:30 p.m. Bernanke will then holds a news conference at 2:15 p.m.

April 29, 2011

It's something that Bernanke's counterparts in Europe and Japan have done for years. The Fed is hoping the news conferences will improve its communications with Wall Street investors and the American public. Q: How are the FOMC's rate decisions approved? A: By a majority of the voting members, who now total 10. (At full strength, there would be 12.) Still, a close decision could spell trouble for the Fed chairman. It would suggest he can't win over policymakers to his side and could leave him weakened. Most votes are overwhelming, however, indicating that Fed chiefs are typically able to build consensus. Q: How are Fed officials selected? A: The president nominates the Fed chairman and his colleagues on the board of governors in Washington. They must be confirmed by the Senate. The presidents of the 12 regional Fed banks are appointed by each bank's board of directors, with approval from the Fed's board. The new law revamping the nation's financial system, however, bars bankers who sit on the regional boards from voting. (Other local business people serving on the boards still retain their vote.) This change was made to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest namely, having officials whose companies are overseen by the Fed in Washington help choose the regional presidents. Q: How and why was the Fed created? A: Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. The legislation was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on Dec. 23, 1913. The Fed began operating in 1914. It was created in response to a series of bank panics that plagued the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Those panics led to bank failures and business bankruptcies that roiled the economy.

SUBMITTED BY OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced, on April 22, a settlement with the drug store chain CVS Pharmacy, Inc. for overcharging the state's Medi-Cal program for prescription drugs. CVS Pharmacy will reimburse California more than $1.76M as part of a $17.5M settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice and nine other states, including Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada and Rhode Island. “CVS chose to short-change taxpayers and undermine our healthcare safety net with these actions,” said Harris. “We’re all better off now this deception has been uncovered.” Starting in late 2002 and continuing through 2010, CVS submitted prescription drug claims to Medi-Cal for individuals who were covered by both Medi-Cal and a thirdparty insurance plan. The pharmacy should have first billed the primary insurer and sought Medi-Cal reimbursement only for the remaining amount, typically the co-pay. In 2008, a CVS pharmacist in Minnesota stepped forward to alert the authorities of the overbilling. A multi-state investigation, in which billing

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

and payment information was analyzed and cross-referenced to private insurance payments, found that CVS billed more than the amount allowed for so-called dual-eligible claims. Investigating the case and negotiating the settlement with CVS were the California Attorney General's Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse, along with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Inspector General, and the attorneys general of the other settling states. As part of the agreement, CVS will train its employees in accurate billing procedures. CVS has started working with individual states to make sure it bills correctly for dual-eligible beneficiaries. Pharmacy payments will also be audited on a regular basis by an independent review organization. The funds recovered for California will be paid to the Department of Health Care Services to reimburse the state's Medi-Cal program. The California investigation and settlement negotiations were overseen by Supervising Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Paul and Deputy Attorneys General Erika Hiramatsu, Matt Kilman and Eliseo Sisneros. A copy of the settlement agreement is available at www.ag.ca.gov.

SUBMITTED BY GOVERNOR’S OFFICE Upon learning that millions of dollars in employee salary and travel advances are going uncollected, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. today issued an Executive Order to ensure state agencies and departments recover taxpayer dollars and improve internal accounting. “It’s shocking that the state has apparently failed to collect millions of dollars in salary and travel advances owed by state employees,” Brown said. “This situation reinforces the worst stereotype of ineffective and inefficient government, and I have ordered state agencies to immediately investigate the backlog of uncollected debts and find every

penny owed to taxpayers. State agencies must regain control of this program.” Audits from the California State Controller’s Office have uncovered serious collection and internal accounting lapses at state agencies tied to salary and travel advances. An audit conducted by the Controller’s Office in 2009, for example, found that $13.3 million in advances had not been collected at eleven state agencies. This total included more than $500,000 in advances outstanding more than three years after they were issued. In most cases, employees were granted advances and agencies were either slow to collect funds or failed to collect at all. continued on page 39

f you’re looking for a beach town to relax, unwind, and do a little sightseeing, you can’t get much better than Mombasa, Kenya. Mombasa seems to have everything. It can be a large city, a quaint old town, a restful beach resort or a

A ways down the road, as you’re passing through Tsavo National Park there is a sign for Man-eaters Camp. If you have time, this is worth a stop and quick tour. It is near the railway station where the true “Maneaters of Tsavo” killed and ate up to 135 railway workers and inspired the movie ‘The Ghost and

party place to rival Fort Lauderdale during spring break (OK…maybe not that wild). I’ve been to Mombasa three times and each time was more enjoyable than the prior. I think that with experience, and a little courage, Mombasa just gets better and better. The first time you go to Mombasa, travel by road, as long as you have the time and can do it during the day. It’s a long journey (7 or 8 hours) but the scenery is quite beautiful and different than most of the rest of Kenya. The trip takes you through small villages with community wells, past termite mounds, camels, huts, and elaborate mosques. Stop near Voi at a petrol station/restaurant/village store. There you begin to feel the heat and humidity that will only increase as you approach Mombasa.

the Darkness.” The lions were eventually killed by John Patterson and their skins can be seen in the Chicago Field Museum today. As you approach Mombasa there are great views of the water and the layout of the area. Shanty towns line the road and you wonder how anyone can live so close to such a dangerous highway with heavy trucks passing much too close for comfort. Mombasa is the port for most of East Africa. If you buy something in Uganda or even the Congo, it most likely passed through the Port of Mombasa along its way. Through the smell of dust, diesel fumes, and humidity, the welcome scent of saltwater fills the air. The lush green foliage of the approach soon gives way to the hustle and bustle of Kenya’s second largest city. Skirting the city, and heading north toward Bam-

buri Beach, where the pedestrian and vehicular traffic thins out, the verdant green roadside appears once again. On our last trip, after some confusion over the hotel (Bamburi Beach Hotel versus Bamburi Beach Resort), we arrived at the Bamburi Beach Hotel much to our relief. The Bamburi Beach Resort seemed like a seedy “girl friendly” hotel for sex tourists so we were glad to find the Bamburi Beach Hotel with its good security and nicely appointed lobby. A cold refreshing cocktail, served in a coconut shell, greeted us as we waited for a porter to take us to our pleasant but modest hotel room. You could spend a lot more than the 9000 shillings a night for a double room with halfboard (breakfast and dinner) but this hotel is nice and clean with a friendly staff. The Serena and the Sarova hotels are nearby but I shudder to think of the pricing there; especially for half board. I should mention that Bamburi Beach Hotel also offers B&B, full board, and all-inclusive options to suit your needs. If you elect the half board option you can have breakfast and dinner and explore for lunch. If you want to dine out for dinner you can opt for breakfast and lunch. If you go

Page 33

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

to Bamburi, make sure you visit the wood fired pizza place just walking distance from the hotel (south along the highway). The pool and grounds are peppered with lounge chairs for a relaxing day in the sun. Limited umbrellas are available and the older, regular patrons (mostly Europeans) are quick to

awaken in the morning and “reserve” their places by placing their towels on the lounges under umbrellas. Don’t forget, you are in Swahili territory that eschews the usual bland Kenyan fare, so seek out the more exotic local food if you can. Find a restaurant in town that serves authen-

tic pulau (a spicy rice dish). Tamarind restaurant is also a great place for fine dining with a great selection of seafood and spicy dishes. Generally, if you explore the city and the beach restaurants you will find more interesting foods than you will find anywhere else in Kenya. That is be-

cause there is so much foreign influence (historically) in Mombasa; Portuguese, Indian, Arabic, Masai, and more. This doesn’t take into account the vast population of Europeans who have moved to Mombasa and started their own ethnic food restaurants, such as the wood fired pizza restaurant mentioned above. I could name foods and restaurants all day but your tastes and your adventurousness will dictate where you end up. There are always people to help you with your culinary suggestions. If you’re a beach lover, you may be disappointed by your first walk on the beach. Immediately upon hitting the sand you’ll be approached by every curio vendor, tour guide and masseuse in Mombasa. How you deal with them is up to you. I usually tell them, “I’m not shopping until Thursday” knowing full well I’m leaving on Wednesday. A walk further down the beach will leave you relatively alone except for the occasional prostitute inviting you up toward the grassy edge of the beach or strangely, in my case, out into the shallow water. Still, the beach, once you get used to it, is a nice change from

poolside lounging. I’m sure it would make for a good morning run if you were so inclined. You can opt for a massage and I recommend the gals right next to the hotel to your left. They’ll walk you from the beach to their massage rooms behind the hotel and, although it looks a bit sketchy, the massage is pleasant, good and cheap. You can have a massage at the hotel but the set up leaves you little privacy. The beach massage girls are “licensed” and do a professional massage…no funny business here. They are nice and very protective of their “territory” (you) so changing masseuses may be a difficult task. The pricing is so good that a daily scheduled massage is not beyond imagination. My perfect schedule is pool-lunch-pool-nap-poolmassage-shower-happy hour-beach walk-dinner. I can take or leave the night entertainment provided by the hotel but I have to admit the crab racing intrigues me. For the ladies and the metro-sexuals out there, mani-pedis are available at the hotel or at another hotel, behind Bamburi, called Traveler’s. You can also travel to Nakumat Nyali (about 3 miles down the road) where there are restaurants, salons, curio and clothing stores, a butcher and an ice cream parlor. If you crave nightlife you can find it easily. Tembo near Nyali, Casarina in town or even Casaurina in Mtwapa are good bets for a night of dancing, drinking and loud

a matatu (a 14 passenger van used as public transportation in Kenya) during the day and private taxi cabs at night. Matatu

transportation is probably too dangerous for a mzungu (white person) at night. There’s nothing quite like taking a ride in a matatu in Mombasa. I recommend you try it at least once. The experience is never the same twice. In the larger towns, many of the matatus are customized with wild paint, flashing lights, loud stereo systems. What is the reason for customizing what basically serves as a mini-bus? Part of the reason is showing off the personality of the driver but the most likely reason is that the brighter, flashier, and louder, the more likely to attract passengers. It is by far the cheapest transportation in Kenya short of a bicycle. A taxi ride that would cost 500 shillings is quickly reduced to about 35 shillings in a matatu. There are not many true matatu stops except in the large metropolitan areas, so the co-driver (tout or conductor) will hang out the side door shouting to people; encouraging them to hop aboard. Once the matatu stops for you, you are expected to move into the van with haste and pop into an empty seat or the seat just vacated by the last person to alight. And yes, you need to tell the driver-conductor where you need to “alight,” not “get off,” Inside the matatu you are subjected to a variety of sensory overload. The smell of 13 other passengers assaults the nose. The booming of the stereo assaults the ears. You’re jammed in next to

April 29, 2011

your fellow passengers and the driving usually makes you want to close your eyes and pray. Not a great advertisement for matatus, huh? But the alternatives are expensive taxis, dangerous boda-bodas (bicycles with a passenger seat on the back fender), tuk-tuks (3-wheeled Cushman-like vehicles), or piki-pikis (motorbikes). Try these too if you dare. The tuk-tuks are fun on a warm day as they usually have open-air seating. But it’s a rough ride and you get no respect from other drivers. Bodas and pikis are cheap but people are killed on these every day. If you take one, limit it to short journeys in town…not the highway. I love the matatus for trips from the Bamburi Beach Hotel to Mombasa town and back. I figure I save about $20 round trip every time I take one. Getting to town is easy and a matter of asking the conductor if they’re going to Old Mombasa Town. Getting back to Bamburi is a bit trickier. My first time, the touts at the stage in town were yelling “BamburiBamburi-Bamburi”. But as we approached the familiar highway to Bamburi Beach, we took a sharp left turn toward what I can assume is Bamburi town. After a quick stop, the conductor explained that if I wanted to go to Bamburi Beach, I needed to take the matatu to Mtwapa. The next time, I was prepared and stepped into the matatu where the conductor was shouting, “Mtwapa-Mtwapa-Mtwapa”. Old Mombasa Town is a wild place near the port of Mombasa where you will see the beautiful old harbor complete with shipwreck. You’ll see locals, especially young boys, down by the

you get to a destination. The bad thing about Kenya is that people are almost always willing to help you get to your destination. That means you have very little alone time. If you go to Old Town, have the driver drop you at the indoor market where, if you’re a foodie, you’ll see fresh fruits and vegetables and spices galore. If you’re cooking your meals, buy some curry or pilau mix. Don’t buy saffron here though. I did and paid too much and got bad saffron. You can find saffron at some quickie markets in Mtwapa (north of Bamburi). The fruits and veg-

It’s much more fun to hire a guide and have the fort explained to you by an expert. Our guide was Abdul who, after our fantastic tour of Fort Jesus, took us through the back streets of Old Mombasa, through front yards and backyards of residents, to the clothing market and finally back to the indoor market. Along the way, Abdul explained about the different Muslim sects and let us tour a large Hindu temple we passed.

ing. Our day in Mombasa was a great break from the pool-side relaxation we had indulged in until then. We never discussed money with Abdul but when I slipped him 1000 shillings (about $15) at the end of our tour, he was thrilled. Within a short matatu ride in the northern direction (opposite of Mombasa Town) is Mtwapa, hence the touts calling “Mtwapa” in town. It is a small village but worth a stop and a walk around the shops. Wazungu (white people) wishing to disappear off the face of the Earth, often find apartments here where they can stay

is hot and dusty but still close to the coast so it’s a “poor man’s beach retreat”. The hotels can send you to other more touristy destinations including day safaris and a village called Ngomongo where you can see many tribes displaying their culture. None of these could draw us away from the total relaxation of a poolside lounge with roving waiters, a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean, and wood-fired pizza within walking distance. Want to save more money? Take a matatu to Nakumat Nyali and stock up on water, soda, wine, and snacks. Don’t

forget a wine bottle opener because the hotel only has one and it always seems to be locked up in the restaurant which opens at 6. Tip the bartender and you might be able to have him chill your bottle for your own personal 5 o’clock “happy hour.” I’m so cheap that I always stock up on drinks at Nakumat and then try to shove them all inside the tiny refrigerator. That way I don’t have to pay minibar rates. And speaking of “cheap” you can find hotels in Mombasa that start at 2500 shillings (and below) a night. That’s about $30. Of course you can also find hotels in the 20,000 shilling (and above) range. It all depends on your budget. Just make sure you stay in a safe place. If you are planning your hotel on your own, don’t be afraid to call one of the nicer hotels and tell them your price range and ask them for safe recommendations. They’ll help for sure. I once stopped in front of a hotel and said to the bellman, “I know I can’t afford this hotel but can you direct me to a less expensive one?” He was happy to direct me to a nice hotel down the street, saving me a bundle. Mombasa has something for everyone. If you’re just looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the sun, sand, and pool, it’s for you. If you’re more “touristy,” it’s for you. If you want to explore the historical sites, it’s for you. Are you getting the message? Good weather, good food, good entertainment and good people. Yes, Mombasa is my beach town of choice.

Winger, a senior second baseman, was an unstoppable force in four games last week and helped the Pioneers upset No. 10 UC San Diego in her final doubleheader in the East Bay uniform on Saturday, April 23. A Livermore native, Winger shined in the final week of the season, leading the team with a .583 batting average and 1.083 slugging percentage. Winger reached base in 64.3 percent of her plate appearances in the leadoff spot last week, scoring a team-leading four runs. Winger also added a homerun and two RBIs during the Pioneers 1-3 week that also included one-run and extra-inning losses to the Tritons.

In Friday's 2-1 loss to UCSD, Winger led the Pioneers at the plate, going 2-3 with two doubles. She followed up that performance with a stellar senior day showing, finishing the Saturday doubleheader with six hits in seven

In helping East Bay to a 11-3, eightrun rule victory over the Tritons in game one, Winger reached base in the leadoff spot in three of her four plate appearances, scoring three times. One run came on her sixth homerun of the season, a two-run blast in the second inning that proved to be the eventual game-winning hit for East Bay. The homerun was one of four for the Pioneers in the game, setting a new season high and tying a program record for homers in a game. Winger was at it again in the final game of her career, a pitchers’ duel that went eight innings before UC San Diego broke up a 1-1 tie in the ninth to post a 4-1 win. The senior finished 3-4 at the plate with her 10th double of the season to cap a season that saw her lead East Bay's regular starters with a .325 batting average, 27 runs and .419 on-base percentage.

East Bay posted 10 more wins than last season, including an impressive nine more conference victories. Though it loses the four seniors to graduation, the Lady Pioneers will return 15 players from this year's squad, including Neumann, who led the team in RBIs, Jamie Yaller, who shared the team lead in homeruns with seven, and both Talia Fer-

Three Lady Pioneers earn All-WWPA honors Three Cal State East Bay water polo players were named to the All-WWPA teams on Wednesday, April 27. Sophomore Claire Pierce led the Pioneers' three honorees, earning a First-Team All-WWPA selection, while junior goalie Jayme Pekarske was named to the Honorable Mention Team and freshman utility Sarah Grunberger earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team. Pierce earned her second straight All-

WWPA nod after leading the Pioneers with 80 goals and 65 steals during the 2011 regular season. The Perth, Australia, native led the conference in steals and ranked third in goals while drawing over 80 ejections to lead the team. Last year's Newcomer of the Year winner suffered no sophomore slump as she was fifth in the nation in goals and ninth in steals after helping Cal State East Bay post the second-best overall record in the conference with six wins over Division I foes. Pierce has now scored 170 goals in just two seasons as a Pioneer, moving her into second on the all-time career goals list behind teammate Liz Warren.

BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Apr 23 - Plans to put the brakes on bicyclists riding across the Golden Gate Bridge has cycling enthusiasts crying foul in this urban center of two-wheeled activism.

Pekarske, a junior transfer, had an outstanding season in the cage for East Bay, posting 324 saves to rank third in the WWPA. During the 2011 campaign, Pekarske held opponents to seven or fewer goals in 14 games, including six of the last eight contests to finish the regular season. The Riverside native ranked third in the conference with a 7.59 goals against average and gave up a season-low of three goals in a 20-3 victory over Vanguard on April 9. Pekarske was also fourth on the team with 44 steals. A native of Sydney, Australia, Grunberger had a breakout season for the Pioneers, leading the team, conference and nation in assists with 68, which cur-

Hundreds of commuters, residents and tourists ride the bridge's stately span each day, and occasionally there is a smash-up when bikers run into one another or collide with tourists drinking in the views. Still, the city was taken by surprise this week when bridge officials proposed speed limits as a way to reduce the accident rate on San Francisco's signature landmark.

rently ranks third in the single-season record book for East Bay. Grunberger also added 46 goals and 40 steals to rank second and fifth on the team, respectively. Grunberger single-handedly posted nearly a quarter of the team's total assists and paired with fellow Aussie Pierce to score 126 of the Pioneers' 334 goals. Loyola Marymount junior Kimberly Benedetti earned Player of the Year honors while Santa Clara freshman Claire Eadington was named Newcomer of the Year. LMU's Kyle Witt collected Coach of the Year honors after guiding the Lions to an undefeated conference record and the No. 1 seed in the WWPA Tournament. Benedetti, teammate Casey Flacks, UC San Diego senior Hanalei Crowell, Santa Clara senior Taylor Harkins, Colorado State senior Ali Pavlik and Cal State Bakersfield sophomore goalie Megan Pezzolla all joined Pierce on the First-Team All-WWPA. Each of the 2011 honorees earned first team recognition for the first time. Cal State East Bay will play host to the WWPA Championship this weekend – Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 1, at Chabot College in Hayward – and enters the tournament as the No. 5 seed. The Pioneers will meet fourthseeded Colorado State in the first round for the second straight year after falling to the Rams in an upset as the No. 3 seed last season. East Bay and CSU are set for a 10:30 a.m. start on Friday. For the complete tournament schedule, log on to the TCV Sports website, http://sportsz.tricityvoice.com. mmm

The initial plan would hit riders with a $100 fine if they don't slow to 5 mph around the bridge's iron towers, or 10 mph along the bulk of the 1.2-mile span. There is currently no speed limit, and authorities say some riders have been clocked going more than 20 mph. continued on page 39

oisoning cases happen due to common misunderstandings; placing poisons in close proximity to our pets. Many people assume the products they use on humans work the same way in pets. This is a continuation of a column printed two weeks ago. Human drugs Many pet owners simply don’t know that prescription and over-the-counter drugs are poisonous when given to pets. Animals have different enzymes and physiological mechanisms that don’t always correspond to human physiology. Pain killers, antidepressants, vitamins, and diet pills can be lethal to animals even in small doses. Tylenol is extremely toxic to cats, and to a lesser extent in dogs, causing severe blood disorders and liver problems. All drugs including those prescribed by your veterinarian should be kept out of reach of

your four legged companions. Recently, we had a dog who liked the medication we prescribed him so much, he chewed through the plastic and consumed the entire bottle! Although this medication was safe at low doses, it was a serious health hazard in the amount he ingested. After treatment and a few hundred dollars, he was back on his feet and back to normal. As a result, we recommend that you keep Fluffy’s medications away from him as well. Don’t give any medications to your pets without consulting your veterinarian. Antifreeze Although antifreeze poisoning is not as common in our area, it is perhaps the most lethal poison. Dogs and cats love to drink this sweet smelling and tasting coolant. When pets drink antifreeze, it crystallizes in the kidneys and causes acute kidney failure. If

diagnosed and treated early, your pet may recover. Garbage ingestion Garbage is not often regarded as poisonous. However, toxins produced by bacteria are found in garbage. Rapid and severe signs include vomiting, bloody diarrhea, painful abdomen, and shock. Poisonous plants Be aware of the plants in your home and yard. Easter lily, day lily, tiger lily, and some other lilies can cause severe kidney failure in cats. Other poisonous plants often ingested are azalea, oleander, sago palm, castor bean, amaryllis, or yew plant. Hundreds of other plants are toxic but less common in this area. Human foods Many people bond with their pets by sharing people food with them. Not only is this a risky habit, but it can

lead to a lot of health problems. The following foods are hazardous to your pet: macadamia nuts, raisins, grapes, onions, onion powder, alcoholic beverages, yeast dough, cigarettes, coffee grounds and beans. Doggie chews Rawhide chews may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can infect pets and humans who come in contact with the chews. These chews should only be offered with supervision, as they can cause a choking hazard. Birds Our feathered friends are very vulnerable to common toxicities. Please don’t give them avocado, caffeine, chocolate, or alcohol. Fumes from nonstick cooking surfaces and self-cleaning ovens can also be deadly to birds. Always be cautious when using aerosol products around birds.

“The state’s poor debt collection and accounting practices are fleecing public coffers at a time when vital public programs are being decimated by unprecedented budget cuts,” California State Controller John Chiang said. “I applaud Governor Brown’s commitment to making every dollar count.” The Controller is continuing to examine these programs at state agencies, including the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), and the audits may uncover millions more in uncollected salary and travel advances. State law allows for advances under certain circumstances including when there are delays in issuing checks, when an employee separates and needs a final check, when an employee travels, when a hardship request is made or when a vendor requires immediate payment. The longer a debt goes uncollected, the more likely it will not be recovered. If the employee’s agency or department does not initiate collection proceedings within three years, the agency or department cannot collect the debt without the employee’s consent. The Governor’s Executive Order seeks to recover taxpayer dollars by directing state agencies and departments to clear salary and travel advances within 30 days through an expense claim. If advances are not cleared, agencies and departments will be expected to deduct what’s owed from the employee’s next paycheck. The Executive Order also calls for improvements in record keeping, oversight, training and collection practices. Since taking office, the Governor has issued Executive Orders to freeze hiring across state government and cut state cell phones and the passenger vehicle fleet in half and has directed state agencies and departments to stop spending taxpayer dollars on free giveaway and gift items. These actions are part of Brown’s efforts to save money this fiscal year and to cut millions in operational costs next fiscal year.

But after groups of pedallers raised sharp critiques, the bridge's board of directors decided to postpone a vote on the limits to allow public debate. “Five miles per hour is definitely slower than I would ever go,” said Uri Friedman, a manager at Pedal Revolution, a non-profit bike shop near the hip cafes of San Francisco's Mission District. “This just kind of penalizes someone who knows how to ride their bike. As it is already, having to navigate through the tourists as you're trying to get out of town on a ride makes for a potentially frustrating experience.” On Saturday, as busloads of German, Mexican and Korean tourists snapped photos using the verdant Marin County hills as a backdrop, Frances Denner was recovering from a near wreck on her rental bicycle. Pausing for a minute to admire the sailboats and surfers dotting the bay below, she said she thought speed limits sounded wise. “This person wearing full bike gear came around me and I wasn't expecting it. It was a little scary,” said Denner, who was visiting from Janesville, Wis. “I think having a speed limit would be a good thing.” A committee of the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District recommended the limits after commissioning consultants to do a cycling safety study. According to the Berkeley-based firm Alta Planning + Design, there were 165 bicycle crashes from 2000 to 2009, and speed was cited as a factor in 39 percent of those acci-

dents. Over that same time period, there were 235 reported vehicle incidents, including anything from a fender-bender to a more serious collision, said bridge district spokeswoman Mary Currie. Several cycling activists questioned how many wrecks involved tourists on rental bikes, and said it was misguided to craft a safety policy to address speed if that was not a problem in a majority of the accidents. “There is poor visibility, and there are surfaces on the bridge that when the fogs rolls in can get really slippery or can catch a cyclist's tire,” said Kim Baenisch, executive director of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, which opposes the limits. “To be ticketed for going 11 mph because you have some tailwind behind you seems really unreasonable. We don't want to see limits that are going to discourage any type of cyclists from using the bridge.” The Golden Gate, which was the largest suspension bridge in the world when completed in 1937, has been considered one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century. Riding its narrow paths requires a keen sense of how to navigate the gusty winds, fog and storms that blow through the gate and into the San Francisco Bay. Scott Klimo, who bicycle commutes from his home in Marin County to his office San Francisco's financial district, said he and his fellow commuters know how to ride at safe speeds because they do it every day, even if most lack speedometers.

In his 10 years bicycle commuting, he has seen one accident, he added. “It's not that the tourists are bad people, but riding a bike safely isn't their first priority. It's enjoying the view,” he said. “A little bit better education or orientation from the bicycle rental companies would be a far more effective safety measure than imposing some sort of random speed limit on all of us.” Bridge officials will have to balance a host of competing considerations as they consider future safety proposals. Space is one. This summer, bridge authorities plan to close the bridge's west sidewalk, which serves as an afternoon bike lane on weekdays, to complete a longneeded seismic retrofit. Tourism is another. In 2009, more than 15 million people visited the city, pumping nearly $8 billion into its economy, according to the city's Convention and Visitors Bureau. Bicycle ridership and the clout of regional cycle advocates are also growing. According to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, ridership has increased by 58 percent since 2006. The bridge and its adjacent coastal parklands also often play host to organized bicycle tours and festivals of all stripes. Saturday, a group of Tibet supporters held a ride from the city's downtown to the Golden Gate to highlight the missing Panchen Lama. Even the oncemonthly Critical Mass bicycling movement has on occasion barnstormed its way through Friday rush-hour traffic to the bridge. “Local riders and bicycle commuters need to recognize that part of their commute is an international tourist destination,” said Nina Barker, a visitor from Charlottesville, Va., who was preparing for her first bridge ride Saturday afternoon. “Why can't they just make two lanes: one for commuters and one for all the people who come to visit this beautiful place?”
