ayward unfurls its diverse culinary tablecloth for the first ever A Taste of Hayward. Hosted by the City of Hayward and the Hayward Public Library, this inaugural event will be held in the beautiful City Hall Rotunda and welcome the delicious wares of over 20 local wineries and 15 restaurants. Attendees will enjoy offerings from restaurant and wine bar Neumanali, the Mexican flavors of Shark Shack, a taste of the Orient from Chef’s China Bistro and a slice of Italian heaven courtesy of Buon Appetito. Buffalo Bill’s Brew Pub will also be on hand pouring their handcrafted beer. In addition to a wonderful collection of food and beverages, attendees can take part in raffles, silent auctions, and win door prizes. Raffle items include gift cards and six packs of wine, while the silent auction is comprised of about 50 items, with opportunities such as a private airplane ride around the Bay Area, police ride along, lunch with the mayor, lunch with the police chief, and dinner at the firehouse, as well as various wine items. Proceeds from the event benefit the library’s After School Homework Support Center. The program was established through a grant from the Department of Education in 2009 and has been in operation for two full school years. The center welcomes all students K-12th grade and targets at risk youth, such as those kids whose parents may not speak, read or write English at home. continued on page 2 INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

rtist Clara Ines Thomas has been a painter and teacher for 20 years. She feels that being both an artist and educator compliment each other, as each serve as an inspiration to the other. Her love for art and education has come together in illustrations at the Milpitas Phantom Art Gallery in “Colored Faces.” A native of Colombia, Thomas studied Philosophy and Political Sciences through formal education, but her artistic skills - history, esthetics and philosophy – and techniques are self-taught. In addition to published illustrations, she participates in traditional art exhibitions in which a story is told through shapes, colors and textures. The public is invited to visit the Phantom Art Gallery and “read” the story of Colored Faces. Colored Faces Through July 15 Phantom Art Gallery Milpitas Community Center 457 E.

Help is offered at both the Main Library (835 C St.) and the Weeks Branch (27300 Patrick Ave.) during the school year, Monday through Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., and Thursdays from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Centers have 25 laptop computers with free Internet access and free printing for homework needs, and are volunteer driven. There are eight to ten tutors available at a time, providing a three to one ratio for students. Tutors use learning manipulatives, visual aids, and handouts to assist with learning. The program has worked with over 150 volunteer tutors from retired teachers to business professionals who have donated thousands of hours to the youth of Hayward. Nearly 800 non-duplicated students have been helped this school year, a sizeable jump from last year’s 600. “The kids are very active in trying to get themselves help,” says Homework Center Coordinator Lindsey Vien. Yet they in turn need the support of the community. Vien says they are always in need of supplies, from paper and pencils to dictionaries and treats for the prize box. Many things that might no longer be of use to you could be a great asset to the center, whose resources have mainly been established through donations. “Funding raised from the Taste of Hayward will support the Library’s expanding part-

nership with the Hayward Unified School District and the opening of a Homework Support Center at Longwood Elementary,” says Vien. “Proceeds will be used to purchase books (which will be available in a site book vending machine) to support curriculum being studied in schools.” “It’s a worthy place to direct the funds,” says Event Director Jack Papazian. “It supports the kids in Hayward.” While a monetary goal has not been set, Papazian says they’re hoping 300 people will attend the event. A Taste of Hayward is a great way to become familiar with local dining opportunities as well as a chance to support local youth and provide for our future. Tickets are $30 in advance and may be purchased at the Hayward Main Library and City Hall. They will cost $40 at the door on the day of the event. Dress is business casual. For more information or tickets contact Jack Papazian at (510) 828-7459. To learn more about the After School Homework Support Center contact Lindsey Vien at (510) 881-7535.

Californians experience the nation’s highest and lowest levels of wellbeing, often in the same local area n

he American Human Development Project, an initiative of the Social Science Research Council, has released the latest work in its Measure of America series, A Portrait of California, the firstever California Human Development Report, which explores well-being and access to opportunity across the Golden State. The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is an independent New York City-based non-profit organization, founded in 1923, devoted to the advancement of social science research and scholarship. Using the American Human Development (HD) Index, a composite measure of health, education and standard of living, A Portrait of California ranks from highest to lowest the state’s five most populous metro areas using a single number on a scale from 0 to 10: San Francisco (HDI: 6.97), San Diego (HDI: 5.80), Sacramento (HDI: 5.66), Los Angeles (HDI: 5.52), Riverside-San Bernardino (HDI: 4.58). The report also ranks the major

racial and ethnic groups, nativeand foreign-born residents and the 233 neighborhood clusters across the state for which there are reliable U.S Census data. A Portrait of California, released on May 20, 2011, shows that some Californians enjoy levels of well-being and access to opportunity the nation as a whole will not reach until the 2060s, while others experience health, education, and earnings levels that characterized the U.S. in the 1960s. Nearly a century of human progress separates the best-off and the worst-off areas in the state. “California is rich in data on social and economic conditions but too often we use them to identify separate problems requiring separate solutions. The American HD Index at the heart of A Portrait of California provides a way to make sense of economic, health, and education challenges in the interconnected way that people actually experience them,” said Sarah Burd-Sharps, co-author of A Portrait of California. “Given the current budgetary environment in California, there could be no better time for this non-partisan, fact-based tool to break down the silos, look at who is thriving and who is merely surviving, and identify the most strategic levers for change,” added Kristen Lewis, co-author of A Portrait of California. A Portrait of California sorts residents into “Five Californias” according to where they fall along the American HD Index:

Silicon Valley Shangri-La, HD Index score of 9.35, comprises the top 1 percent of the population in terms of wellbeing levels. These extremely well-educated high-tech entrepreneurs and professionals are fueling, and accruing the benefits of innovation. Residents of these two neighborhood areas have highly developed capabilities, expanding their freedom to pursue goals that matter to them. (Despite its overall high score, however, it is important to note that pockets of poverty exist within Silicon Valley). One in three in this California is foreign-born; Metro-Coastal Enclave California, HD Index score of 7.92, this group makes up 18 percent of the state’s population. They are located in upscale urban and suburban neighborhoods, chiefly along the coast. Residents of these areas are largely affluent, credentialed, and resilient knowledge workers enjoying comparative financial comfort and security; Main Street California, HD Index score of 5.92, this majority-minority group of Californians experience longer lives, higher levels of educational attainment and higher earnings than the typical American. Yet these suburban and ex-urban Californians, representing 38 percent of the population, have an increasingly tenuous grip on middle-class life; continued on page 28

The nose knows: Allergy season here with vengeance

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY CAROLYN THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS There may be a whiff of truth to claims by allergy sufferers who sniffle that this season is, well, a bigger headache than years past. And now, more bad news: It's also lasting longer, prolonging the

misery of the millions of people for whom spring is a punishment, not a pleasure. Heavy snow and rain in some parts of the country have nourished a profusion of tree pollen, while a sudden shift to warm, continued on page 35

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Beloved teacher takes her final bow BY JAY COLEMAN

ollowing a long-time custom, Linda JacksonWhitmore walked onstage recently after an Irvington High School (IHS) dance recital, introduced the dancers—particularly graduating seniors—and thanked the audience for attending. Then, clad in well-polished tap shoes, she ended the evening on a high note by joining the younger dancers in a lively tap number as the curtain closed. The closing curtain was an apt metaphor for Jackson-Whitmore, who is exiting the stage and retiring at the end of the school year after 36 years as Fremont’s premier high school theatre and dance instructor. “Ms. J,” as she’s known to friends, teachers and students, discovered performing arts almost by accident. Growing up in San Francisco, she was an athlete and cheerleader at Abraham Lincoln High School. During her junior college days at San Francisco City College, she saw a flyer for auditions for the Black Grassroots Theatre, which piqued her interest. “I auditioned and won the lead role, and just fell in love with theatre,” Ms. J says. “Finding the theatre turned my life around and changed all my thinking.” At San Francisco State, she changed her major from Business /Accounting to Theatre Arts and graduated in 1973. That summer she taught a theatre workshop for high school students, many from Fremont. When the position of drama instructor, director, choreographer and Performing Arts Club advisor at Washington High

School became available in 1975, Ms. J jumped at the opportunity. In 1978, she transferred to IHS, where she has taught for 33 years. “I had stars in my eyes when I first graduated from college, and thought about going to New York and trying to make it on Broadway,” Ms. J says. “But I knew that I would just be one face in a thousand. So I thought, ‘I’ll try teaching for a little while.’” Now, a third of a century later, she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, Vernon, sons Christopher and Andrew, daughter Charisse and seven grandchildren. Now there will be time for travel and maybe community theatre, Ms. J says with a grin. First, there’s a June community retirement celebration and the June 11 Tony Awards, honoring the year’s top Irvington performers.

Irvington High School, of course, fills a special place in Ms. J’s heart. In 1990, the school became a magnet program for the performing arts, sponsored by Ohlone College; Ms. J assumed the role of artistic director of the Irvington Conservatory Theatre (ICT). Producing two high school plays each year – fall and spring – in a 36-year career adds up to some eye-popping numbers; more than 70 shows, thousands of cast and crewmembers, audiences in the tens of thousands; and countless hours of rehearsals and performances. “Linda brought a level of professionalism to the arts that you don’t see at the high school level,” says IHS Principal Pete Murchison. “The magnet program is one of the best performing arts schools in the East Bay, and that would not be true continued on page 26

Direct Feedback Leads to New and Improved Culinary Options

or those eating for two, here’s some good news. This summer, Washington Hospital’s Food and Nutritional Services Department will introduce some new healthful—and delicious—menu options focused specifically on the needs of expecting moms. “We’re excited to introduce a fresh and delicious maternity menu,” says Lorie Roffelsen, R.D., a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital. “From direct feedback and interviews with patients and staff, we were able to develop a special menu tailored specifically for new moms.” Recently Roffelsen teamed with Elvis Lavarrenda, the hospital’s Food and Nutritional Services production manager and chef, for the latest “Culinary Rounds,” a hospital program focused on improving menu items. During the process, the team shared flavorful food samples with nurses and other medical staff and, in turn, received immediate feedback that helped to craft a new and improved maternity menu. “Culinary Rounds is an inter-department effort to help us understand and meet the various menu desires and expectations of our patients,” says Roffelsen. Over the last few months, the team conducted a series of interviews with labor and delivery patients in addition to the weekly rounds, which aided Roffelsen and Lavarrenda in better determining the ideal menu items, portion sizes and more. Notably,

Washington Hospital staff members (left to right) Lorie Roffelsen, R.D.; Lauren Lucas, R.N. and Elvis Lavarrenda conduct a food sample for nurses and other medical staff at a recent Culinary Rounds event. Roffelsen, a registered dietitian and Lavarrenda, a chef and the hospital’s Food and Nutritional Services production manager also use patient feedback to help improve menu options at the hospital.

menu choices that didn’t make the cut were eliminated. “Patients asked for a wider variety of breads and entrees which have been added,” says Roffelsen. “We are constantly working on improving menu options and recipes, as well as changing out unpopular items for new ones to provide hearty and healthy meal choices for our new moms.”

Roffelsen says that since Culinary Rounds was implemented several years ago, it has played a critical role exploring fresh and new menu options while also identifying areas for improvement. “Instead of guessing what patients and staff think about our food, we hear it directly from the nurses, speech pathol-

ogists and physicians who are at the bedside every day,” says Roffelsen. “We also conduct meal-rounds where we visit patients at the bedside and get feedback from them or from family members. This gives us an opportunity to make sure everything has been going well with their meals and to rectify any problems immediately.”

Dexter Hernousura, a registered nurse at Washington Hospital, says he believes that participating in the weekly rounds is another element that contributes to improving patient care. “As a nurse, being able to better describe menu options and provide important feedback to the nutrition services staff improves my rapport with my patients,” Hernousura says. “The hospital serves a diverse patient population, so it’s very important that we have a variety of meals that can accommodate everyone.” Since quality and variety are two key ingredients in crafting a successful menu, a top priority for the food and nutrition services remains a focus on fresh and seasonal foods, Roffelsen adds. “The hospital is always exploring menu changes that are infused with seasonality and creativity to keep patients and employees satisfied. When items are in season, our meals include organic and/or locally grown produce to ensure the very best for our patients.”

Eden Housing SUBMITTED BY EDEN HOUSING, INC.

.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Regional Director Ophelia Basgal, Hayward Mayor Michael Sweeney and the Eden Housing team “flipped the switch” on the new solar photovoltaic system and green upgrades at Eden Issei Terrace, a 100-unit, affordable housing complex for low-income seniors, on May 13, 2011. The apartment community, constructed in 1984, has needed major renovations for some time but, with a long list of capital needs, there are no programs available to fund the extensive rehab that is needed on the 27-year old building. Eden took advantage of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [stimulus] money and California solar rebates for green and solar upgrades. This is the first time that California solar rebates have been used for affordable, multi-family housing. Gas usage at Eden Issei Terrace, located at 200 Fagundes Court, Hayward, has fallen by 22 percent, electricity usage by 40 percent and water usage by 21 percent. The property has realized initial cost savings of 38 percent for gas, 44 percent for electricity and 20 percent for water. Sustainable upgrades to this beautiful senior community incorporate energy- and resource-efficient features such as solar photovoltaic panels, hydronic heating systems, high-efficiency water heaters, energy-efficient lighting for the units and common areas and formaldehyde-free insulation. Water-conservation features in-

clude dual flush toilets and lowflow fixtures. Hayward-base, non-profit Eden Housing provides affordable accommodation for more than 58,000 people. The organization is the owner-operator of its developments and has developed or acquired over 6,300 homes and 61,100 square feet of adjoining commercial/retail space in 85 properties since it was established in 1968. Eden has over 4,500 apartments in its property management portfolio and provides access to supportive resident services programs at all of its communities. “Last year HUD made available stimulus funding for retrofits and improvements to existing HUD properties. The eight-month solar project at Eden Issei Terrace entailed the installation of solar, insulation and other energy efficiency improvements. We thought we would have to wait several years before work could start because of the finance we were arranging but the one-time injection of $1.1M federal dollars of the $200M that was available nationally enabled us to begin work much sooner,” explained Linda Mandolini, Executive Director, Eden Housing. “The newly-installed solar and lighting upgrades have generated initial energy savings but we expect them to increase to around 50-60 percent.

takes from only four to seven years because of the available rebates, subsidies, tax credits for investors… without which we could not afford to undertake solar projects,” stated Melanie Burnett, Asset Manager, Eden Housing. “Solar panels effectively ‘offset’ approximately 70-74 percent of the common load at this property. The offset varies according to property, available roof space and configuration; panels are mounted on roof space that faces direct sunlight. There is an opportunity to maximize the use of solar when designing and constructing a new building. The California Solar Initiative, available through PG&E, is the first program that provides incentives to install solar systems at multifamily properties. We’re fortunate to have participated.” “We encourage the state and Federal governments to provide more incentives for solar-system installation. The appropriate combination of public policy, incentives and owners’ ability and desire to go green is necessary. Far fewer projects are likely to happen unless property owners see some benefit; affordability is an issue for most,” concluded Mandolini.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH

tudents attending Oliveira Elementary School on the morning of May 23 gathered on school grounds for what they assumed was a routine fire drill. But instead, a pink-haired principal and school secretary, among others, were there to greet them along with a special guest, one of their own - Lynette Santos. Tri-City Voice readers first learned about young Lynette Santos and her brave fight against Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), in our February 8, 2011 issue. First diagnosed in May 2008, at the age of five, Lynette began a round of chemotherapy, steroid treatments, and hospital stays, resulting in hair loss as well as many other complications. After returning to school in

2010, she suffered a relapse, underwent another round of chemotherapy and recently received a bone marrow transplant with her younger sister Liselle as the donor. Lynette spent over 100 days recuperating at Ronald McDonald House at Stanford Children’s Hospital. Noemi Santos, Lynette’s mother explains, “Now she has 100 percent donor cells and the leukemia cells are gone; so, she’s in remission. In July, Lynette will go in for her six month bone marrow check to see if everything is working as hoped. If she’s o.k., they’ll remove her restrictions.” What that means, is that hopefully, Lynette can resume school and be able to interact with her classmates again. With Lynette’s current lowered resistance, making her more susceptible to germs, she

had to keep a safe distance from the other students during her visit to Oliveira Elementary. But, Lynette seemed happy enough to wave to all the students, teachers and parents gathered, who in turn were thrilled to see her doing so well. The surprise visit had been the culmination of the efforts of the school’s staff and parents who had first created an “All Eagles for Lynette” fundraiser to help ease Noemi and Lyndon Santos’ financial burden caused by the medical crisis. The community stepped up and generously gave over $6,000 to assist the family. This was soon followed by the “Pennies for Patients” school fundraiser in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Principal Anderson had challenged the students, saying she would color her hair pink if they raised $1,000. The school and community exceeded her expectations by raising over $3,000 for the charity. And, so, at the welcoming event for Lynette, who sported a very stylish pink hat, there were many in addition to Principal Anderson and school secretary Kathy Kimberlin, whose had dyed their hair a shocking shade of pink. They were all there in a communal gesture of compassion and friendship.

outward, reaching and touching others and can change a life forever. The smiling faces we see say it all…Thank you…you are our stars!

“We are very thankful to the school and the Tri-City community for their overwhelming support,” said Noemi Santos. Principal Anderson ended the gathering by reading aloud the poem, “Like Ripples in a Pond,” by Laurie Eytel: We thank you for all the great things you do. Large and small, they all have meaning to the families you help and to us. One act can make all the difference. Like ripples in a pond - kindness spreads

Fond du lac man plans to eat 25,000th Big Mac BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP), May 17 - Don Gorske plans to eat his 25,000th Big Mac on the 39th anniversary of eating his first. A special ceremony is planned at McDonald's in Fond du Lac Tuesday afternoon. The 57-year-old Fond du Lac man says he ate nine on May 17, 1972 and has only missed nine days since then, for various reasons. He usually eats two a day. He has kept most of the boxes or receipts or has made specific notes in calendars that he's kept. Gorske says he probably has an obsessive-compulsive disorder but he doesn't consider it a problem. He jokes that 25,000 is a milestone because people didn't think he'd live this long. But he says he recently saw a doctor who said he was in good health and his cholesterol is low.

NEW YORK (AP), Jun 01 A luxurious New York City hotel where an Egyptian businessman is accused of sexually abusing a housekeeper has agreed to equip all room attendants with panic buttons. The Wall Street Journal says the agreement was reached between The Pierre hotel and the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council. Pierre spokeswoman Nora Walsh says the alarms will be made available as soon as a system can be put in place. Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar, an executive and the former chairman of a major Egyptian bank, is charged with sexual abuse and forcible touching of a housekeeper at the Manhattan hotel. He's being held on $25,000 bail. His lawyer, Liz Beal, told the court her client “adamantly denies the charges against him.”

BY ALICIA CHANG, ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES (AP), May 04 - We pushed off from the Bicycle District in East Hollywood, a mob of two-wheelers that for a few hours on a recent Sunday ruled a 7 1/2-mile stretch of car-free Los Angeles streets. Pressing down on one pedal, I repeated the motion with the other. Before I knew it, I was zipping along with stranger cyclists, dodging the occasional pothole while soaking in a different angle of Los Angeles from my bike seat. Six weeks earlier, I did not own a bicycle or know how to ride one. Yes, I am one of those adults who never learned as a kid. Here I was at an organized event modeled after Bogota, Colombia's ciclovia, in which residents are encouraged to ditch their cars and take to the streets on bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades or their two feet for a day. As a novice cyclist, I worried. Do I have the endurance? What if I'm too slow? What if I get in an accident? continued on page 35

BY SANJNA SHUKLA PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Over the Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 28, through Monday, May 30, Warm Springs Little League

held its annual Major Division Memorial Day Classic baseball tournament. Over one hundred major division players (10- to 12-year-olds) participated in the tournament and made it

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

one of the most competitive thus far. Every year, this tournament proves to be one of the most exciting in Little League baseball. The Classic is not only a breeding ground for exceptional baseball players, but also a

weekend full of festivities and food. It is a great place for families to enjoy their weekend and watch a whole lot of baseball. For the players, however, this tournament can get competi-

tive. With 10 teams in the running, and 15 qualifying games, the Memorial Day Classic brings out the best of Major Division baseball. Warm Springs’ Cardinals began and ended their tournament run with 4-3 wins. First, against the Centerville National Little League’s Giants, the Cardinals got off on the right foot with a one-run win. They culminated their run with a 4-3 win over the Warm Springs Rangers, winning the title for the second consecutive year. In between the two one-run wins, the Cardinals made easy work of the Mission San Jose Little League Braves, 16-6. The Braves started out the game and were able to score one run in the top of the first. The Cardinals, however, retaliated and were up 8-1 by the end of the inning. The Braves suffered some defensive setbacks, and many of the Cardinals’ runs were due to walks. WSLL Car-

dinals added another run in the second to take a 9-1 lead. CNLL Braves were able to plate five runs throughout the contest, but the Cardinals tacked on seven more of their own for the 10-run win. In their last qualifying game, the Cardinals eked out a win against the Centerville American Angels in a pitchers‘ duel, 2-1. (Due to some undisclosed issues, the Angels were not able to make the tournament. In order to keep the tournament

fair, the tournament directors decided to create a team out of players on the other teams, and had them play as the CALL Angels -- exemplifying the sportsmanlike behavior that is encouraged by the Memorial Day Classic.) As for the Classic’s runner up, the Warm Springs Rangers, they also had an exceptional tournament. Unlike the Cardinals, the Rangers lost its first continued on page 19

game. They did, however, bounce back on Sunday with a 13-run, 15-2 victory over the CALL Orioles. On Monday, the Cardinals and the Orioles showed unparalleled endurance as their game went into twelve innings. The game, which lasted nearly three hours, showed how versatile the young players can be. For example, Andy Newman of the Cardinals pitched at the end of the game to hold the Orioles off 5-4. Zain Ahmed, the start-

ing pitcher for the Cardinals, also helped keep the runs against to a minimum. In the Championship game, the Cardinals broke a fourth-inning, 2-2 tie by plating two runs. Rangers were able to cut the lead in half with a run in the top of the fifth inning. The Rangers made one last effort in the sixth inning, but excellent pitching by the Cardinals kept them at bay. Although the two teams in the championship game were able to dominate in the tourna-

BY GIOVANNI ALBANESE JR. Hayward Area Athletic League named its 2011 All-League softball team. Of the Hayward-based schools, Moreau Catholic High School was the most represented, with five players named to the first and second teams. Tennyson and Hayward also had a total of three softballers named to teams. Shelby Long was the top Moreau player named to the HAAL First Team, getting voted on unanimously. Joining Long on the first team were Alyssa Castillo Jessica Marin and Kyra Kawasaki. Tennyson’s Eliana Mello was also named to the first team. On the HAAL Second Team, Moreau was represented by Leilani Akai. Joining Akai on the second team were two Hayward High Lady Farmers, Briann Thompson and Erin Muhammed. In addition to HAAL selected its first and second teams, seven players from Hayward-based schools received honorable mentions. Making the list for the Lady Mariners of Moreau Catholic was Cassidy Lyon; for Hayward, it was Pricilla Carbajal; Tennyson’s players mentioned were Corey Skafidas, Tuyen Che and Marissa Barrera; and from Mt. Eden High School, it was Stephanie Pryzbus and Kimmie Bitting. Arroyo High School’s Olivia Noddin was named pitcher of the year. Noddin’s coach, Mike Brand, was named the league’s coach of the year. And Kayla Bufardeci of Castro Valley High School was named HAAL Player of the Year. Castro Valley -- with three unanimous selections Gabby Palmer, Kristen Koslosky and Bufardeci, along with Olivia Aragon -- had four first teamers and three second teamers (Melina Huey, Baylee Johnson and Karen Chaw). Castro Valley’s seven players named to all-league teams was the most of all schools.

ment, there were many other teams that also did exceptionally well. Two such teams were the Centerville American Orioles and the Mission San Jose Giants. These two teams battled it out for third place and had a great tournament overall. CALL Orioles had a doubleheader on Saturday, and ended up winning both games. Orioles’ pitcher Ryan Young did an exceptional job in keeping the CNLL Padres to only four runs in their opening game of the tournament. Niko Gilmore

stepped up to the mound in place of Young in the third inning, and the defense was able to prevent any runs. MSJLL Giants, who beat out the CALL Orioles for third place, had one of the most impressive runs in the whole tournament. Their catcher Cierra Facha hit two homeruns. Facha’s homer in the consolation game provided momentum and helped the Giants win the game, 3-0. Her exceptional performance, along with the flawless pitching of Sean

Hamardanian, guided the Giants to their third-place finish. Other notable players included Tebrez Khan of the Warm Springs LL A’s and Nick Nunez of the CALL Orioles. Both players did an outstanding job keeping their teams in contention throughout the Classic. Event Director Rom Villaflor reflected upon the successful weekend. “The tournament is all about the kids, and we want them to get real baseball experience, and have fun while they’re doing it.”

ave you ever wondered, “Where’s OUR zoo?!” Well, just up the highway from Tri-City neighborhoods, there is a whole contingent of more than 660 native and exotic animals that would make Noah proud. Led by Executive Director Dr. Joel Parrott (honest), the award winning Oakland Zoo has come a long way from jail-like zoos of yore. Today’s beasts roam in open air and wilderness type enclosures, protected from their human observers by low walls, moats, and screening. A raft of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers, interns, apprentices, and keepers, is responsible for the welfare and happiness of these now urban animals. We had come to see newborn North American River Otters. Born on February 15th of this year, Ahanu (He Who Laughs) and Tallulah (Leaping Water) are adorable pups even at three months old. Popping out of their “night” house, they scampered around the boulders and stumps, and through tall grasses that re-create their natural habitats. Ahead of them came their four-year-old mother, Ginger, and their Dad,

Heath, now twelve years old. Noses in the air, heads up, peeking over the grass, all four round, sleek bodies headed for the fresh water pool surrounded by a plexi-glass enclosure. The difference in size was evident,

the pups being about half as large as their parents. Given that at birth they are about the size of a stick of butter, it’s clear that they have been well cared for in their first several months. You can’t fault a River Otter on cuteness, though, large or small.

Their little black button noses, round eyes, and perked up diminutive ears can charm even the stalest curmudgeon. If you can put cute aside for a moment, admire their wellmuscled eel-like bodies, covered in short dense fur off of which

the cold pond waters pearl. Coloring varies from dark brown on top to lighter brown or grey on their bellies; cheeks can be grey or white. River Otter jaws seem to have an overbite that creates a playful and cartoon-esque look, while long whiskers on either side add a slight air of wisdom; deep black eyes prove that they have Mr. Magoo at a disadvantage. When they cross those powerful little webbed paws over their tummies, and cock their head to the side, inspecting you, they resemble magical professors. But all these attributes have purposes other than enchanting their audience. The long whiskers have nerve-endings that detect food, their muscular bodies can dip, dive and glide swiftly through the water to catch that food, and their webbed feet make them excellent swimmers. As you might guess, their main source of nourishment comes from ponds and streams. According to the Oakland Zoo, North American River Otters eat “fish, crayfish, frogs, turtles, and aquatic inver-

tebrates, plus an occasional bird, rodent or rabbit . . . . much of their diet [in the wild] consists of ‘rough’ fish like carp, suckers, catfish, and sculpins.” In captivity, these otters are fed fish, horsemeat, vegetables, and cat food. Like most of the zoo’s animals, they also get “enrichment” snacks such as hardboiled eggs, goldfish, mice, chicks, and bones. Anything new is exciting, and remember they are carnivores. A big treat is an “otter pop” made from a fish and carrot slurry frozen in cubes. Sardines, smelt, and crayfish are called “otter sushi.” As we talked to Ashley Terry, one of Oakland’s three otter keepers, school children scampered along the Zoo’s paths with cries of “Let’s look at the otters! Let’s look at the otters!” A flock of seven-year-olds, noses almost pressed to the clear plastic up against which the pool waters splashed watched Ahanu and Tallulah diving, backstroking, twirling and popping up. Ashley told us that Ginger had been quite shy of visitors when she first arrived

in the world of carnivores. The animal keepers at the Oakland Zoo don’t go into most enclosures. They have a policy called “protected contact,” which means that both animals and humans are protected from each other. They meet at the boundaries, get to know each other, and interact at their windows. Training is important though as keepers must move animals, safely, between enclosures, or in and out of their night houses. The vets also need to be able to treat a sick anithree years ago, but her pups have taken to the audience as though born to it. If you see a keeper or other zoo staff, be sure to stop and talk with them. They are full of stories you won’t hear everyday. For example, the fifth otter here is Axel. He’s 19 years old, a retiree from Sea World. Heath was already here and slightly depressed as he had lost his mate. Axel came to Oakland from Florida for a similar reason. They became devoted to each other, and even now, when Axel is resting inside, Heath pops back in to check on him every few hours. Heath also had a little mouse friend for a while, an unorthodox relationship

mal without terrifying it. So these otters, for example, will move toward a specific “target” when asked, enter a chute for injections, stand on a scale and try to stay still (!) for several seconds at a time. Did you ever consider a career as a zookeeper? It’s not the first job that comes to mind right out of high school or college, but it is a fascinating and rewarding profession. Many keepers start out as volunteers at the Oakland Zoo and move up the ranks until they are offered a staff position. This was the case with both keepers we met last Friday, Zach and Ashley. Zach had degrees in finance and music, but ended up doing something that really mattered to him, working outdoors, with animals, in the field of conservation. Ashley had earned her way up the ranks, and though she has no biology or zoology background, tends to the needs of various animals with wisdom and patience. You have to admire someone who likes Fruit Bats and knows them by name. In the next few weeks, we’ll visit those Fruit Bats, and the Wallaroos (more babies!). So don’t miss an issue, or better yet, take a trip to the Oakland Zoo and report back. Special Zoo Alert: A Walk in the Wild is the Zoo’s annual fundraising event. An “adults only” culinary celebration, it takes place this year on June 25 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Check the Oakland Zoo website for more information and tickets. The Oakland Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and is located in the 525acre Knowland Park, at 9777 Golf Links Road, off Highway 580.

if not for Ms. Jackson. We’ve got lots of talent and great productions because she has created a culture and an environment for kids who love the arts. She is a living legend, and we’re lucky to have been around her.” While students make up the lion’s share of a typical production cast and crew, Ms. J has recruited ISH teachers to fill special roles. Math teacher Ryan Willer has become the resident lighting and sound designer on shows. In 2008, Gary Leinweber taught calculus by day and had a lead role – Rev. Shaw Moore – in a production of “Footloose” at night. Science teacher Dan Pearce made his acting debut in the same show as Coach Roger Dunbar. “I learned that putting on a show is an enormous undertaking,” Pearce says. “I had dropped by the theatre to watch the kids rehearse before but I had no idea that it was basically a month-and-a-half obsession for everyone, from Ms. J to the

actors to the costume makers to the stage designers and so forth. I also learned that Ms. J has incredible patience. Theatre kids are constantly off task, and I couldn't believe the lengths Ms. J had to go to get them to learn their parts.” Students – and parents – quickly learn that an ICT production takes a special commitment. “You learn a lot about time management,” says James Jones, a 2010 IHS graduate, who had lead roles in Seussical, Grease and Aida, when not staring in local Starstruck Theatre productions. “Ms. J expects a lot, but also gets a lot from her performers. She only wants the best – the best music, lighting, sound, acting – and she makes the shows a collaborative effort. Ms. J really helped me grow as an actor.” That collaborative effort is evident in many ways, Ms. J says. A few months before each show she meets with her production staff, set designer, choreographer, costume designer

and others to discuss plays they’d like to do and the effort it would take to do them. They consider the range of talent in the school at the time and how it matches to shows under consideration. For example, she always wanted to direct Hairspray, but never thought she had just the right cast for it. This spring, ICT produced Starmites, Ms. J’s final show and one she had been thinking about for three to four years. Recently, Ms. J. received the Inspirational Theatre Educator Award from the International Thespian Society, after being nominated by IHS student Sarah Laus. “Ms. J is a strong believer in following your passion but also in supporting yourself,” Laus says. “There is a small fee to be in ICT productions, and if the fee causes a hardship, she grants a scholarship to make sure all can participate. If you are a scholarship recipient, Ms. J requires extra service hours, which teaches me that nothing is free; I need to work hard to show my appreciation for opportunities and to work hard to be successful.”

Hard work and long hours come with the job, says Ms. J, who for 36 years has added to long school days and rehearsals by commuting to Fremont from homes in San Francisco, Oakland and, more recently, Richmond. “I’ve always enjoyed what I was doing, so I don’t mind the after-school hours and commute time,” she notes. “I unwind on the drive home – sometimes I even choreograph in my head in the car. And you can see me dancing in the car when I’m stopped at a red light.” While the ICT productions draw the most attention, Ms. J also cherishes the dance classes she has taught over the years. “There’s a dance explosion on our campus now,” she says. “Students don’t want a lot of technique; they want to express themselves in their own way. We’ve evolved from our first dance class in 1988-89, when we had 13 students, to a class called The Art of Dance, where they learn choreography and performance—and we have 95 students already signed up for next year!” Thinking back over the past 36 years, Ms. J says she’s proud

of the way the Irvington Conservatory Theatre has grown in size and stature, how the IHS faculty has become more involved, the support she has received from the administration and the commitment of students and parent volunteers. She loves to think about the young students who’ve never performed before, and how they mature and blossom in four years – “Even the ones that gave me gray hairs at the time,” she jokes. “There have been times after months of rehearsal, instruction and critique that I’ve gone home on a Wednesday night – two nights before opening night – and cried,” Ms. J says, tearing up at the memory. “Then we get together as a group the next day, talk about how we can do better than this and something starts to jell. The actors are on cue. The singers hit the right notes. The sets, costumes and make-up all come together. There’s a magic that happens, and by Friday night, it’s a great show. Those are the moments I’ll miss the most.” qqq

f you have not purchased window treatments in awhile, you will be amazed at the selection. There are beautiful wood blinds in rich finishes and textures, cellular shades in almost every color of the rainbow, and new choices for sliding glass doors. With advances in technology, you can now get dust-resistant fabrics, child-safe features, even motorized shades. With so many options, where do you begin? Begin by evaluating your rooms. Is privacy an issue? Do you have a beautiful view you’d like to accentuate or an unattractive view you’d like to downplay? Is energy efficiency a consideration? If you have old, drafty windows, or several uncovered windows, you may be negatively impacting your energy bills or letting in damaging UV rays. In a TV or computer room, you may need a window covering that prevents glare on the screens. In a bathroom,

window treatments need to be moisture resistant. And in a bedroom, privacy is a primary factor. Knowing what your needs are will help you narrow down some of your choices. Energy efficiency is an important consideration with north-facing windows. These windows offer consistent light but cold exposure during the day. An uncovered single-pane window has an R-value of about 1.75 (R-value is a measurement of a product’s ability to resist heat loss.) The higher the R-value, the less heat will be lost through your window. You can increase the R-value of your window by selecting energy-efficient window treatments. This extra layer of insulation can help save money on your energy bill. East-facing windows provide morning sunlight and warm, bright light during the day. For these windows, consider window treatments that block ul-

traviolet sunrays. Just as sunscreen helps protect our skin from UV rays, window treatments can help protect upholstered furniture, wood floors, carpeting and artwork from the damaging effects of the sun. South-facing windows let in good, warm light all year round. Consider light-diffusing treatments to protect your furnishings. Afternoon sun, the hottest light of the day, enters through west-facing windows. You may need a combination of treatments on these windows— light-diffusing treatments along with an extra layer to provide extra insulation and protection. Window treatments can blend into the background or be the main focus of the room. An art collector, for instance, would want her art to stand out as the main design element.

like your window treatments to make a statement in your room. Picture gorgeous swags and draperies in rich silk fabric in a traditional living room or a charming awning valance in a country kitchen. In contemporary rooms with clean, modern lines, you may opt for just a shade or blinds mounted inside your window casing. No fabric top treatment may be necessary. In more formal, traditional rooms, however, a window might look bare with just the shade or blind. Fabric draperies and valances will complete the look. Woven wood blinds (such as bamboo shades) can lend a casual, rustic look, while shutters provide a classic, timeless look to a room. Balloon shades can give a bedroom a soft, feminine feel, while wood blinds look wonderful in a masculine den or library. With so many options available today, selecting window coverings can be a

daunting task. However with thoughtful planning, you can select the perfect window treatments for your home.

Struggling California, with an HD Index score of 4.17, makes up 38 percent of the population across the state, from the suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas of the Central Valley to parts of major metro areas and the Inland Empire to swaths of Northern California. Struggling Californians work hard but find it nearly impossible to gain a foothold on security; The Forsaken Five Percent of Californians are residents bypassed by the digital economy and left behind in impoverished LA neighborhoods as well as in rural and urban areas in the San Joaquin Valley. The Forsaken Five Percent have an American HD Index score of 2.59. These Californians, of whom onethird are foreign-born, can expect to live nine fewer years than those in Shangri-La and face an extremely constrained range of opportunities and choices. Key findings of a Portrait of California include: Health: Life expectancy is longer in California (80.1 years) than in the nation as a whole (78.6 years). The range of life spans in neighborhoods

across California is 15.3 years, with the high and low - the Newport Beach/Laguna Hills area (88.1 years) and Watts (72.8 years) - in the same metro area. The foreign-born outlive the native-born by an average of four years in California. Education: Just 100 of California’s nearly 2,500 high schools account for nearly half of the state’s dropouts. Nearly 44 percent of Latino adults in California do not have a high school degree, almost triple the state average. For every 100 men who earn a bachelor’s degree today, 134 women do so. More than 50 percent of California’s public school children are Latino; 27 percent are white; 11.6 percent are Asian American; 6.9 percent are African American; and fewer than 1 percent are Native American. Income: A gap of $58,000 in earnings of the typical worker double the median personal earnings of the United States separate the top earners in the Santa Clara–Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos area (about $73,000) from the lowest earners in the LA–East Adams–Exposition Park area (about $15,000).

June 3, 2011

Median earnings (wages and salaries of all workers 16 and older) for whites range from $47,000 in the Bay Area to $28,000 in the Central Sierra region and $24,000 in Northern California. Men earn more than women in every racial and ethnic group. In Silicon Valley ShangriLa, women earn 49¢ for every $1 men earn; in The Forsaken Five Percent, women earn 77¢ for every $1 men earn. California’s Latina women earn the least, at $18,000 - earnings on par with those of the typical American worker in 1960, half a century ago. A Portrait of California highlights actions that Californians can take to lock in human development successes today while setting the stage for significant budget savings and improved well-being tomorrow. These include investing in public health campaigns and food subsidies for fruits and vegetables; investing in pre-school and targeting the worst performing high schools with the highest dropout rates; and taking steps to address gender equality and wage discrimination in the workplace.

Calif. beach city says 'surfing Madonna' must go AP WIRE SERVICE ENCINITAS, Calif. (AP), May 19 - The ``surfing Madonna'' of San Diego County may have made her last ride on public property. The Encinitas City Council on Wednesday voted to remove the stained-glass mosaic that portrays Our Lady of Guadalupe

surfing a wave next to the slogan, ``Save the Ocean.'' Guerrilla artists installed the 10-by-10-foot mosaic under a train bridge before Easter. The San Diego Union-Tribune says the council also approved a $2,000 study to determine how the piece can be removed without damage. Encinitas is a well-known

surfing spot. Because it didn't have a public review process, the mosaic is legally considered graffiti. Council members say they personally like the piece but allowing it to remain on public property sets a bad precedent. Some local businesses have offered to give the Madonna a home.

Sunol Glen School Board meeting review BY ALYSON WHITAKER The first agenda item of the Sunol Glen School Board meeting, held on May 17, was a presentation by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) on the Calaveras Dam Replacement Project. Project Manager Dan Wade gave a general overview on the projects throughout the Sunol Valley, as well as a more detailed update on the Calaveras Dam. The rebuilding of this dam is a major part of SFPUC’s Water System Improvement Program to ensure a reliable water supply to customers, including the town of Sunol, in case of a major earthquake or drought. The existing Calaveras Dam is the system’s largest Bay Area drinking water reservoir. Because of seismic safety concerns about the existing dam, the reservoir level has been maintained at 40 percent of its normal capacity since 2001. The project will replace the existing dam with a 210-feet high new earth and rockfilled dam immediately adjacent to the existing structure and will restore the historic capacity of the reservoir. Construction is scheduled to begin later this summer, and continue through 2015. The SFPUC is requesting temporary closures of a portion of Calaveras Road just south of Geary Road extending to the Alameda County Line in the interest of traffic safety. The first closure is tentatively scheduled for a two-month period in Fall 2011, with a lengthier 18-month closure in late 2012 or early 2013. The road closure is scheduled for weekdays only and the Sunol-Ohlone Wilderness Park will remain open during construction.

Portions of the construction area are in geologic formations that include serpentine rock, which is known to contain naturally occurring asbestos. This type of rock is present throughout much of California, and construction activities could cause asbestos fibers to become airborne. The Calaveras Dam Replacement Project team has put extensive care into the planning of air quality monitoring stations surrounding the immediate construction site, as well as other locations in the Sunol Valley, including one very close to Sunol Glen School. Any detections at the monitoring stations indicating elevated levels of asbestos will cause the project team to modify or even temporarily halt construction to ensure that unacceptable levels of airborne asbestos do not leave the construction site. More information about the Calaveras Dam Replacement Project can be found online at www.sfwater.org/sunolvalley. A representative from the Community Club reported that the Tiki Tiki Luau fundraiser event held on May 14 was a huge success, and brought in just over $17,000 profit to benefit students at the school. A brief discussion was held on the state of technology at the school. The Technology Committee is working closely with Jonathan Allen, ACOE (Alameda County Office of Education), to determine the best course of action for upgrading the school’s technology. A donation of numerous servers has prompted the committee to look at the possibility of switching to a server-based system, as opposed to individual computer units. This would provide a more standardized and consistent computer model throughout the

school, with each desktop image being uniform. Once the issues with the hardware are resolved, then teaching teams will be able to determine the course of action for the software they use. Currently, the outdated hardware is a hindrance for both teachers and students to fully utilize software available for education. During the public comments portion of the meeting, a parent expressed appreciation for the character traits that are being taught right along with core curriculum. Another parent expressed concern that the 5th grade teacher is being pulled away from his gradelevel class to meet other teaching commitments, and encouraged the board and school administration to work to remedy the situation. She also shared that her child’s experience with this teacher has increased her passion for learning as individuality and self-thinking behaviors are encouraged. During her Superintendent’s Report, Molly Barnes shared the overwhelming kindness shown by parents during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, celebrated the week of May 16-20. Staff members were treated to themed luncheons, morning treats, custom-made smoothies, massages, and daily prize drawings. Mrs. Barnes also recognized 5th grade student Lily Monahan and her father, Michael for their outstanding service and dedication to the reconstruction of the school garden this year.

Construction spending weak despite small uptick BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP), Jun 01 U.S. builders began work on more home-remodeling projects in April. But the increase barely lifted overall construction spending above its lowest level in more than a decade, a sign that the troubled industry remains too weak to help the economy. Construction spending rose 0.4 percent in April, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The jump in spending on home improvements offset declines in single-family homes and apartment construction. And the slight gain followed a sharp downward revision to the March figures. The government said spending rose only 0.1 percent for the month, down from its initial estimate of 1.4 percent growth. A separate report showed manufacturing activity grew at the slowest pace in 20 months. The Institute of Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said that its index of manufacturing activity fell to 53.5 in May from 60.4 in April. While it represented

the 22nd month of expansion, it was the sharpest slowdown for the index since 1984. Any reading above 50 indicates manufacturing is expanding. The weak data offered the latest evidence that the U.S. economy is hitting a second “soft patch” nearly two years after the recession officially ended. Stocks plunged after the reports were released. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 148 points in morning trading. Overall spending on construction projects in April totaled a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $765 billion - just 0.5 percent above an 11-year low of $761 billion hit in February. Analysts predicted it could be another four years before overall construction returns to what would be considered a healthy level with spending of around $1.5 trillion annually. ``The overall story here is that housing is hugely depressed, but it has probably hit bottom,'' said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. Builders pushed activity on private projects up 1.7 percent to a seasonally ad-

justed annual rate of $483 billion in April. Residential spending rose 3.1 percent. But all of that strength came from spending on home remodeling. People are spending more to remodel rather than move to new homes in the current weak climate for housing. Construction of single-family homes dropped 1 percent in April and spending on apartment construction fell 0.1 percent. Nonresidential construction rose 0.4 percent, though construction of offices, hotels and shopping centers all declined. The strength came from increases in spending on health care, schools and power plants. Government construction projects dropped for a seventh consecutive month to a seasonally adjusted $282 billion annual rate. That was the lowest level since April 2007. Spending at the federal level fell 2 percent to $29.3 billion. Spending on state and local projects fell 1.9 percent to $252.8 billion. Activity at this level is at the lowest point since December 2006. State and local governments have been cutting back on building projects as they deal with large budget deficits.

BY PAISLEY DODDS ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON (AP), Jun 01 - America's new cyber czar said Wednesday that international law and cooperation - not another treaty - was enough to tackle cybersecurity issues for now. Christopher Painter, coordinator for cyber issues for the U.S. State Department, declined to comment on a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday that said the Pentagon was considering a policy that could classify some cyberattacks as acts of war. He said the report was based on material that had either not been released or discussed yet. He did, however, say that U.S. President Barack Obama's recent cybersecurity strategy covered a myriad of different aspects, ranging from international freedoms to governance issues and challenges facing the military. “We don't need a new treaty,” he told The Associated Press as he arrived for an international cybersecurity summit in London. “We need a discussion around the norms that are in cyberspace, what the rules of the road are and we need to build a consensus around those topics.”

Unemployment fell in April BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP), Jun 01 - The best month for privatesector hiring in five years and a pickup in summer jobs helped lower unemployment rates in more than 90 percent of the nation's largest cities in April. The unemployment rate dropped in 339 metro areas in April, the Labor Department said Wednesday. It rose in 20 cities and remained unchanged in 13. It was the most cities to see a decline in a year. Many of the areas with the steepest declines are tourist destinations, such as Ocean City, N.J., where hotels and tourist attractions add workers for the summer season. The metro employment data isn't seasonally adjusted for such trends and as a result can be volatile from month to month. Salinas, Calif., which is near tourist destinations Monterey and Carmel, reported the sharpest decline. Unemployment there fell from 16.5 percent in March to 12.6 percent in April. Barnstable Town, Mass., near Cape Cod, said its unemployment rate dropped from 10.5 percent to 8.2 percent, the third-steepest decline. New Bedford, Mass., near Martha's Vineyard, said its rate fell from 12.6 percent to 10.7 percent, the fifth-steepest drop. Nationwide, the unemployment rate ticked up in April to 9 percent and U.S. companies added 268,000 jobs in April, the third month in which the private sector created more than 200,000 jobs. The pickup in hiring is “in-

creasingly diversified across geographic regions,” said Steve Cochrane, a regional economist at Moody's Analytics. “The unemployment rate is falling nearly everywhere.” By contrast, many of the cities seeing declines last year were in the Midwest. They benefited from gains in manufacturing, one of a few sectors to show strength since the recession ended in June 2009. Over the past year, the 30 cities with the biggest drops in unemployment were all in the Midwest, Cochrane said. But in April, those same cities reported little improvement. “The manufacturing side has led the recovery, but we are starting to see that wane a little bit,” Cochrane said. U.S. manufacturing activity expanded in May at the slowest pace in 20 months, a survey by a private trade group released Wednesday found. Consumer and business spending is slowing. That has cut new orders and production, the report by the Institute for Supply Management said. At the same time, demand for U.S. exports has fallen, reflecting weaker economies overseas. The government will release the May employment report on Friday. The consensus forecast is that the economy added 180,000 net jobs last month and the unemployment rate dipped to 8.9 percent. But many economists are lowering their individual forecasts after a spate of weak economic data, including the ISM report and a report Wednesday from payroll processor ADP that the private sector added only 38,000 jobs last month.

Values set for utility properties SUBMITTED BY ANITA GORE The California State Board of Equalization (BOE), has established unitary values of privately-owned public utilities and railroads in California at $85.5 billion for FY 2011-12. Local governments will collect an estimated $947.3M in revenue (including penalties) over the next fiscal year based on these values which were set on by the BOE on May 24, 2011. Total values were up $5.1 billion over those adopted by the Board last year and will generate approximately $63.5M in additional taxes for local governments than in the current fiscal year. Values were set for 413 companies with property in California. They include telephone (long distance, local, and wireless), gas and electric companies, railroads and inter-county pipelines. While most properties are assessed by county officials, privately-held public utilities are assessed by the BOE statewide. These properties are not subject to Proposition 13 and are reappraised annually at their market value. A “unitary value” includes improvements, personal property and land. A unitary valuation applies to properties owned or used by public utilities and railroads and considered necessary to their operation. The BOE determines the fair market value as of January 1 of each year by considering market conditions, use of the property, income generated by the property, replacement costs and investments in the property, regulatory climate, depreciation and other factors. The values set by the BOE are used by county governments to levy local property taxes which help support county governments, cities, special districts and schools. Penalties are assessed for late or incomplete filings or failure to file with the BOE. For more information on the BOE’s State Assessed Properties Program, visit www.boe.ca.gov

DARE graduation inaugurates new program

May 31 Neighbors called police after observing two suspects flee from a possible burglary at the 3700 block of Eugene Street. The suspects appeared to be juveniles and one was known by the victim’s son. Officer Greenberg detained one of the suspects on Vogel Court and Officer Manrique detained another, also on Vogel Court. Three juveniles, ages 14-15 years, were identified and arrested. Officers recovered a stolen laptop, backpack and video games. All three juveniles were booked at Juvenile Hall. This case was investigated by Officer Stone. A resident living on Mission Boulevard returned home from an extended holiday weekend and discovered the home was burglarized. Entry was made through the side garage door and interior garage door. The initial loss reported was jewelry. Unknown suspects entered a residence at the 4800 Block of Lana Terrace through a window. No loss was reported. Unknown suspects broke out a window on the 44000 block of South Grimmer. Loss of computer equipment was reported.

On May 26, 2011 Pomeroy Elementary School hosted the final D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) graduation for 104 fifth grade students.

Fifth graders won awards in the following categories Top Poster: Breanna Banh; Rebecca Maritess Fama; Sarah Mulugeta Top Essay: Amreen Gill; Tori Chu; Labonita Ghose Most Inspirational: Laura Stefanko; Constance Tran; Jonas Mendoza Top DARE Student: Makayla Williams; Shreeya Aranake; Ryan Huynh Over the past several years, the Milpitas Police Department has taught the D.A.R.E. curriculum to fifth graders in both public and private schools. The officers provided a series of classroom lessons that teach children how to resist peer pressure and live productive, drug-free and violence-free lives. The City of Milpitas, Milpitas Unified School District and Milpitas Police Department are excited to announce the implementation of a new program for fifth graders known as Character Counts. The police department is converting the existing D.A.R.E. program into a 6-week program that focuses on six universal values known as the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. The Six Pillars of Character are six core ethical values that transcend cultural, socioeconomic and religious differences. The Character Counts program enables the instructor to modify the lesson plans based on the objectives of the community, the school and the police department. The fifth graders will be taught these pillars and why they are important. Officers will instruct through lecture, games and classroom activities that embody the message that your character counts.

sunny weather has made its release more robust. The deluges and, in some places, flooding have pumped up the volume on mold. Add in the wind, and the suffering skyrockets. Warnings about the difficult season have come from allergy specialists from New York to Atlanta, Chicago to California. “This past week has been one of the worst ever,” rasped Lynne Ritchie, 70, as she bought allergy medicine this week at a Manhattan drugstore. Dr. Stanley Schwartz hears that from patients all the time every year, in fact, he noted with a wry smile. “Literally, every year is the worst year,” said Schwartz, chief of allergy and rheumatology for Kaleida Health and the University at Buffalo. “Now it may actually be, but when it's there and you're feeling it, you don't remember what last year was like.” What is certain is that allergy seasons in general have been getting longer and more challenging, said Angel Waldron, spokeswoman for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. “We do know that climate change and warmer temperatures are allowing trees to pollinate longer than usual,” she said. “Although people feel things are worse than ever before, it's actually because of the longer season. It's a longer time to endure.” Pollen counts and allergy at-

The nose knows: Allergy season here with vengeance

tacks vary widely from region to region, locality to locality and day to day, and no one entity tracks the full complexity of their ups and downs across the country. But everything is ripe this year for a historic season. It's been an exceptionally rainy spring in much of the country, with several states east of the Mississippi River setting records for the wettest April since 1895. That means luxuriously blooming trees and a similar effect on mold. “The mold will grow under the fallen leaves from last season,” Schwartz said. “So if it's very wet, it isn't just the blooming plants but it's also the mold, and many people are allergic to multiple airborne allergens.” The Asthma and Allergy Foundation lists Knoxville, Tenn.; Louisville, Ky.; Charlotte, N.C.; Jackson, Miss.; and Chattanooga, Tenn.; as its “2011 spring allergy capitals,” using a scoring system that measures airborne grass, tree and weed pollen; mold spores; the number of allergy medications used per patient; and the number of allergy specialists per capita. Four of those five cities are in states - Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky - that all had drenching springs and significant flooding. But the suffering isn't limited to the South. The highest tree pollen count in three years triggered a dangerous air quality warning

Friday in Chicago, where allergist Dr. Joseph Leija warned in a statement: “Itchy eyes, stuffy noses and fatigue will be common among Chicagoans with sensitive respiratory systems.'' In Los Angeles, rain, a heat wave and the Santa Ana winds combined for a brutal stretch in February. To north in San Jose, pollen counts are on the rise with the start of grass season, allergist Dr. Alan Heller said Friday. The National Allergy Bureau shows high pollen counts in the Northeast this week, including Albany and New York City, with their birch, oak and maple trees, and Oxford, Ala., where walnut, pine and willows are in bloom. The bureau is part of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “It's been a very bad season so far. ... A lot of people suffering,” said Dr. William Reisacher, director of the allergy center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. “A lot of people who haven't suffered in previous years have come in for the first time in several years with symptoms,” Reisacher said, noting that the Northeast's sudden change from cold, snowy winter to warm spring has worsened the situation. Full circle round, back in the South, the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic has seen no letup

since late February, when unseasonable warmth had Dr. Kevin Schaffer describing this year's pollen levels as “off the charts.” Medications used in the past may not be as effective if symptoms are worse this year, Reisacher said. Many of his patients in New York have required multiple drugs, including nasal sprays, oral antihistamines and eye drops. Madison Sasser, a 21-yearold senior at Belmont University in Nashville, left her doctor's office with two kinds of nose spray and eye drops Thursday after already enduring an allergy-related sinus infection three weeks ago - right before final exams. “It's been awful,” she said. “My eyes have been so itchy and red, and I sneeze and cough. It's just been terrible.” In Dallas, a windy spring is helping to scatter the allergens. “We've had heavy winds and the tree pollens were in heavy bloom, and all the wind was causing a lot of people a lot of problems,” said Jill Weinger, physician's assistant at the Dallas Allergy & Asthma Center, where some patients were returning for treatment after years of absence. In Louisville, Ky., 20-yearold Jared Casey's glazed eyes scanned the aisles of a Walgreens drugstore Thursday afternoon. He greeted the allergy

season with an over-the-counter purchase of Claritin-D at the beginning of February - six weeks earlier than last year. He switched to Zyrtec at the beginning of May, when his ears began plugging up, and said his symptoms are lasting longer than in years past. “It's been a lot worse,” he said. “My ears have stayed plugged up for two weeks.” Kristen Fennimore of New Egypt, N.J., counts herself among the than 35 million Americans plagued by seasonal allergic rhinitis - also known as hay fever, a condition characterized by sneezing, stuffiness, a runny nose and the telltale itchiness in the nose, roof of the mouth, throat, eyes or ears. Until recently, the 28-yearold legal assistant said, she was feeling pretty good and thought she might get off easy this year. But pride goes before a fall. “I was going around bragging how my allergies weren't bad this year,” she said. “Then this week, it's been horrible.” ---Thompson reported from Buffalo, N.Y. Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Verena Dobnik in New York City, Josh Lederman in Trenton, N.J., Pinky Mehta in Louisville and Joe Edwards in Nashville.

NJ town may limit when roosters, hens can visit AP WIRE SERVICE HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP), Mar 17 - A New Jersey town is considering an ordinance that would regulate when

a rooster can doodle doodle do. Officials in Hopewell Township say they need to do something to keep the henhouse noise down in a suburban town with agrarian roots.

The rules would apply to roosters and hens on properties of less than five acres. Small properties would be allowed to keep up to a half-dozen hens. But roosters would be al-

lowed only 10 days a year. And they'd be barred from crowing. If a rooster is too loud, the property wouldn't be allowed to host any roosters for two years. Beef farmer John Hart told

The Times of Trenton that the chicken restrictions could make the town a laughing stock. Information from: The Times, http://www.nj.com/times

bottles on the last Friday of each month, and the money raised helps fund classroom technology and the promotion of environmental awareness at the school. The 2nd Interim Budget approval is consistent with the District’s positive budget certification. A few cautionary warnings were issued with the approval, to closely monitor spending and cash flow as the state financial situation is un-

When one thinks of bicycle lessons, the image that usually comes to mind is that of a parent hanging on to the seat of a child's bike and eventually letting go. But some bike organizations that only catered to kids in recent years have added adult learn-to-ride classes. The reasons for the surging interest vary: gas prices, exercise, the desire to check this off one's life list of goals. “Lots of folks seem to have learning to ride a bike on their list of 100 things to do,” says Glen Harrison of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, which has taught more than 200 adults in the metropolitan D.C. region since 2008. Students learn the basics, including how to start and stop, balance, pedal and turn. Many schools start off by removing the pedals and lowering the seat so that beginners can get the feel for bike-riding by scooting around with their feet. Once

they can roll some distance and hand-brake to a smooth stop, the pedals are put back on. “The rest seems to happen naturally, just like they've been riding a bike their whole lives,” Harrison says. Not that it's easy. “Adults have a harder time relaxing,” says instructor Rich Conroy of Bike New York, which offers lessons for children and adults. He said older students are urged to loosen their grip on the handlebars, and slacken their elbows and shoulders. “Kids are less fearful. They'll take more risk. They're also more familiar with bumps and bruises,” he says. Conroy said he once had a student who was so terrified that she kept jumping off her bike while it was still moving. “You've got to stop doing that because you're not in control here,” he recalls saying. “Quit bailing on the bike and letting it go down in flames.”

The nonprofit has taught a version of Bike Riding 101 to about 1,900 adults since 2008. It recently added an intermediate course for adults, too. Adults who sign up for classes typically grew up in cities or countries where cycling conditions were unsafe or nonexistent. Conroy of Bike New York said more than 95 percent of its students are women, many of them immigrants who want to teach their own kids. My foray into biking had been riddled with false starts. My parents never learned to ride themselves, so they never taught me how when I was growing up in New York City. As an adult, I tried several times to get the balance right, but never quite did. It wasn't until this past winter that I carved out time to learn, in part because my husband had bought me a cheap mountain bike from Craigslist and fixed it up himself. Seeing

certain and cuts or reductions in state funding for education may come later in the year. During closing statements, board member Gerry Beemiller shared an idea he got from attending an energy conservation seminar. A local school created an incentive program to motivate students to reduce the monthly school utility bill. Mr. Beemiller suggested Sunol Glen look at implementing a similar

program, with the proceeds from the savings going toward the 7th/8th grade trip to Washington D.C. The next scheduled board meeting will be held on Thursday, June 30. This is a variance from the regular schedule of Tuesday meetings, as board member Neil Davies will be out of town. There will be no board meeting in July.

it untouched in the apartment parking garage was a shame. Under the tutelage of my husband, a cyclist and motorcycle rider, I pedaled slowly around the garage. The first few tries were wobbly, and I kept praying I wouldn't bump into parked cars. Once I felt somewhat comfortable, we loaded up our bikes and headed to Griffith Park, where I looped around the spacious parking lot and then pointed my wheels toward a small downward slope. It was a disaster. Whenever I gained speed, I would get scared and brake so hard that I flew off my bike. At my lowest point, I secretly wished for training wheels. Every adult who learns to bike has to confront fears. My breakthrough came when I internalized a few things: Speed is my friend. A light squeeze of the brakes goes a long way. Shifting gears makes the ride more efficient. An accident, however, was inevitable. After a month of practice, I felt ready for the Venice Beach bike path. Toward the end of a leisurely ride along a curvy, crowded section, a young cyclist crossed the yellow

line and crashed into the rider in front of me. I braked, but got caught in the collision. Luckily, the only injury was a damaged derailleur on the other guy's bike. A week after the spill, my husband thought it would be a good idea to join thousands of cyclists at the CicLAvia in April. We weaved through neighborhoods that we would normally breeze through in a car. Families on beach cruisers and mountain bikes towing children pedaled by. Teenagers on fixed-gear bicycles zigged in and out. Even carnie folks on double-decker bikes zipped through the crowd. The terrain was mostly flat, but there were several dismount areas at the top of hills. I wondered for a split second whether to walk my bike, but pushed on. The most nerve-racking part was waiting with a horde at the occasional intersections where motorists were allowed to cross, and pedaling in slow unison when the traffic lights turned green. Eventually, we reached the park at the end of the route. I made it. Do we cycle back or hop on the subway? We pedaled toward home.
