impact to the environment and natural beauty along the scenic highway. Originally conceived as a three-tiered approach to widening for safety reasons, the $88 million plan has been criticized by local residents and environmental advocates for a skewed interpretation of traffic statistics, despoiling the landscape through deforestation and destruction of natural habitat. Tree removal pursuant to phase I of the project was a stark reminder of changes yet to come in phase II and III. Questions of the effects of this project on Alameda Creek, a vital source of water to the Tri-City area and in the process of restoration as a fish habitat have also been raised. Fremont’s City Council was highly critical of the notification process used by Caltrans when initiating the project. In light of increasing public outcry and legal challenges, Caltrans has now extended the public comment period for the environmental review process of the proposed “safety-improvement project” from 0.5 mile east of Palomares Road to the

SR-84/Interstate 680 interchange in Sunol until August 5, 2011. The project's second phase, scheduled to begin in fall 2013, includes removal of many more trees and installation of retaining walls. Caltrans cites traffic studies showing that between 1999 and

2009, there were 455 traffic collisions, 10 of which resulted in fatalities and 237 of which resulted in injuries. Proposed safety improvements include 8-ft. shoulders, center and shoulder rumble strips, and improved sight distances. To make room, slopes will

Candle Lighters choose recipients of 2011 Ghost House funds BY WILLIAM MARSHAK

alloween spirits still slumber within the historic Chadbourne Carriage House in Fremont, waiting for the long nights and chill winds of October. But a group responsible for their welfare and appearance each year is wide awake. The Candle Lighters, a local women’s charitable organization founded in 1969, met Wednesday, June 15 to continue its mission of support for local causes. Proceeds from visitors who come to catch a glimpse of Carriage House witches, ghouls and goblins are substantial due to the popularity of the attraction, sponsorships and volunteer efforts of the Candle Lighters and their spouses. From simple beginnings, this group has

grown to more than 130 members and given over $1.5 million to a variety of organizations. It has been a source of local funding, free of bureaucratic red tape, and a catalyst for civic improvements including Aqua Adventure Water Park. In June, as the heat of burgeoning summer days begins to emerge, traces of coming Ghost House activities become evident. A gathering of members at this time each year determines where hard-earned funds will be placed. Representatives of organizations that have submitted proposals are allowed to give a short presentation and ballots are marked. This year, funding priorities have been established as follows (top priority listed first):

1. HERS Breast Cancer Foundation - $7,987.00 Furniture and appliances for the “Hair with Care” area 2. Serra Center - $4,987.04 16 mattress sets 3. Tri-City Volunteers $5,041.81 Products for sealing warehouse floor 4. Abode Services - $10,849.47 15 Twin bunk beds, 30 mattresses and 30 waterproof replacement covers continued on page 35

Doing real science with NASA

derstorm will create. Tornados start in thunderstorms. Inside a huge thundercloud, warm and humid air is rising, while cool air is falling along with rain or hail. This situation creates a spinning air current inside the cloud. One end of this spinning column of air can drop down out of the cloud like a finger reaching toward the ground. If it touches, it becomes a tornado. The winds inside some tornados are the fastest on Earth. They can reach over 300 miles per hour! As the column spins, it also moves along the ground, leaving piles of splinters where once stood perfectly good buildings and trees.

Although current weather satellites can identify storms likely to produce tornadoes, a new kind of weather satellite, the GOES-R, will do a much better job. It will give people more time to prepare for storms that might produce tornadoes, and it will be much better at predicting their severity. See what a developing storm looks like from space in several videos on the SciJinks weather website for kids at http://scijinks.gov. Play cool weather games while you’re there. This article was written by Diane K. Fisher and provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

This has been a terrible year for those who live in “Tornado Alley,” the region of the Mid-west most likely to experience these violent storms. April 2011 set the U.S. record for the most tornados in any month. There’s little or no warning. One minute it’s just raining or hailing, and the next minute the roof or even the whole house is gone. If you were lucky, your family had a few seconds to dive into your basement—if you have one—and not be seriously injured. With most weather events, you do have a few days or hours warning. This early warning is thanks partly to hard-working satellites that keep a constant eye on Earth’s weather from space. Predicting tornados is a different story. Where do these violent and unpredictable monsters come from? Why do they destroy some buildings, but not others nearby? And why can’t weather forecasters warn people to get out of the way? Certain conditions make tornados more likely. But no one ever knows when, where, On April 27, 2011, a devastating tornado touched down in Ringgold, Georgia, sweeping whole how intense, and how houses off their concrete floors and turning trees into matchsticks.The winds inside the tornado many tornados a thun- were estimated at 207-260 mph.

Beautiful unspoiled hills, thriving wetlands, waving poplar trees, and burrowing owls. These local attributes are just a few of the vast accomplishments of the Tri-City Ecology Center (TCEC). Established as a non-profit, all volunteer organization, TCEC’s

TCEC gathered to celebrate 40 years of what Board Chair Gus Morrison called “success, progress, education, and friendship.” The event was held at the Fremont Community Center at Lake Elizabeth, the same building where their first meeting was held on January 27, 1971, with a view of the hills they helped to save.

conservation, preservation, and education efforts have been creating a visible impact in Fremont, Union City, and Newark for decades. On Sunday, May 22, about 70 members and supporters of

Over 300 people attended that first public meeting, a clear affirmation of the interest in beginning a local ecology group. Just two months later, they opened a drop-off recycling cen-

ter and published the Eco-Logic newsletter. The recycling center at the corner of Blacow and Grimmer was open every Saturday and Sunday for 18 years, volunteers receiving aluminum, steel, bi-metal cans, glass containers, and newspapers to prepare for Bay Area recycling plants. Over 13,000,000 pounds of material was recycled from 1971 to 1989. The center closed with the introduction of curbside recycling. TCEC continued to influence change, bringing public transit to Fremont and Newark, offering an oil recycling program, leading the Hill Initiative to limit development in Fremont’s hills, gaining wetlands for Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, preserving open space below Mission Peak, and creating the Local History Museum Garden. A book donation program is their longest-running effort, begun in 1972 and made possicontinued on page 29

City of Fremont Fire Department. Sixty-six attendees, including students from Mission San Jose High School along with several adults, acquired training on how to handle emergencies; all students re-

cancelled. “There is learning to be had with a cancelled project too,” said Diana Brumbaugh, Assistant Principal, Mission San Jose High School. However, there is still an opportunity to learn bike safety training. The East Bay Bicycle Coalition offers bicycle safety classes for all ages of cyclists, kids’ bike rodeos and family cycling workshops. For information, please visit http://www.ebbc.org/safety.

ership Program,” five Mission San Jose High School 10th graders aspired to do more. So Alexis Leung, Calista Wong, Sanjana Kamath, Surabhi Jain and Tanvi Tamhane launched Inspire Youth Workshops and began organizing life skills training to benefit their immediate community. They selected a list of life skills they would like to acquire and they searched for presenters to conduct the training. Their first workshop, Personal Emergency Preparedness, took place on November 5, 2010 and was conducted by Chuck Guaraglia and Margot Simpson, volunteers with the

ceived volunteer service hours for their attendance. Their next workshop, Independent Living 101 for the College-Bound Teen was held on January 21, 2011 and was conducted by Michael Galvan, Program Manager with Project Independence at Abode Services in Fremont. Both students and adults attended and learned about bank accounts, credit cards, housing, managing finances and nutrition. Bike Safety Training, sponsored by The City of Fremont through the Measure B Program, was scheduled for February 25. Unfortunately, due to minimal registrations, that training was

Inspire Youths’ latest workshop, conducted in March, was another Personal Emergency Preparedness attended again by both students and adults. “It would be fantastic if we could get all students in Fremont trained in emergency preparedness! Once trained, not only could they help at school, but should an emergency arise, they could help at home or while on the road,” said participant Tanvi Tamhane. If you would like to learn about the Toastmasters Youth Leadership program or have an idea for an upcoming workshop, please email InspireYouthWorkshops@gmail.com.

The parental celebratory balance is restored as dads receive their due Sunday, June 19. While mothers drew the first bid for a public day of recognition, support for a Father’s Day was not long behind. Grace Golden Clayton organized the first observance of such a day in West Virginia on July 5, 1908 to honor and commemorate the lives of over 200 fathers who were lost in a mining disaster the previous December in Monongah. Two years later across the country in Spokane, Washington, Sonora Dodd began her own Father’s Day. Arranged in memory of her Civil War veteran dad who also served as a single parent to six kids, Dodd’s celebration was held in June 1910, the month of her dad’s birthday. Though a bill to establish Father’s Day was introduced to Congress as early as 1913, efforts were delayed until 1972 when President Richard Nixon finally made it official. The third Sunday in June was deemed, from then on, as the day to honor the role and contributions of fathers. Though they are often boxed into the narrow confines of stereotypical enthusiasms such as cars, electronics, and sports, fathers are a diverse bunch with unique traits and interests that color our hearts and memories. Father’s Day is a time to celebrate their impact on our lives, the love, care, and support that have given us firm foundations and futures.

It takes someone special to be a dad.” – Author Unknown “Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-ona-rope.” Bill Cosby “A father carries pictures where his money used to be.”– Author Unknown "It is a wise father that knows his own child." – William Shakespeare "Becoming a father is easy enough, but being one can be very rough." – Wilhelm Busch “He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” – Clarence Budington Kelland "A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma." – Marlene Dietrich “The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” – Henry Ward Beecher "A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty." – Author Unknown

y dad passed away while I was at our School Board meeting on June 8. When I got home that night, or rather the next morning, at around 2 a.m., I found my son waiting up for me to share the news. I didn’t know how to feel! Even though I have been expecting this day since my dad became bed-ridden in April of last year and I have been visiting him frequently since then, it is still very hard to accept the fact that he is really gone. I regret not being right there by his bedside when it happened, but thankful that I was able to get on the next flight out of SFO to make it to his funeral service in Shanghai in time. The memorial service was dignified, sweet, cozy and simple, just how my dad would have wanted it. We all surrounded him, read scriptures, sang songs that he loved and shared our memories of him. My youngest sister and brother, who were with him before he breathed his last breath, told us how his eyes lit up and face glowed as he was looking up to the ceiling as if he was seeing God’s angel greeting and receiving him to the heavenly home. My dad worked hard all his life to live a righteous and moral life by constantly doing good to provide for his family and help other people. While I was going through some hard times in life including struggling at school, in marriage and health, my dad was always there to encourage and support me. He told me that a successful person is not someone who sails smoothly through life, but someone who is able to pick himself up when falling down. He is every bit a hero and saint to me, but he didn’t think he was deserving of God’s grace! Yet, by God’s grace, his life started to change in April 2010. While his body was deteriorating, his spiritual eyes were enlightened. Even as he was lying in bed throughout these past 16 months, unable to speak or move, he testified the presence of Lord in his life by showing this amazing transformation. He was even more of a giant to me on his sick bed! We miss him so much, but we know that we will see him again one day. As Father’s Day is here, I just feel so thankful and comforted knowing that my dad is with my Dad in heaven now. Love and Peace in Christ, Ivy Wu, Fremont

t is fairly common for pets to be infected with internal or external parasites at some point in their lives. Parasites can affect animals in many ways, ranging from simple irritations to life threatening illnesses if left untreated. Like any family member, it is important to keep your pet healthy and parasite free. Parasites are amongst the simplest and most preventable of diseases. Zoonoses Zoonoses is not a disease that you get from going to the zoo! Zoonotic diseases are diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. For example, certain worms such as roundworms can be transmitted to people from the environment. Fortunately, these parasites can be prevented with monthly parasite control available from your veterinarian.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Intestinal Parasites Pets suffer from several different parasites including roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, coccidia, Giardia, and whipworms. The most common are Roundworms that infest nearly all kittens and puppies. Tapeworms are also a common parasite, usually transmitted by fleas. Heartworms A very serious problem for both dogs and cats, Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can kill or severely debilitate pets that are infected. The heartworms travel from the skin to the heart, lungs and bloodstream. A simple blood test can be determine if your pet has heartworms in as little as 15 minutes. The American Heartworm Society estimates that 27 million dogs are not on preventive medicines, leaving them at risk for this deadly disease.

External Parasites Fleas are the most common parasite, omnipresent in this area. Your pet will be exposed to them regardless of environment. For each flea seen, 100 others are not visible. Fleas transmit tapeworms and other parasites. Ticks are another nuisance for local pets and seem to be increasing in our area. They are vectors of a number of diseases, including Lyme disease. What can you do? Fortunately, problems caused by parasites can be controlled. Prescription products available from your veterinarian help pets repel these parasites at a cost of a few dollars a month. With this protection, your pet can be comfortable and safe. Additional tips: • Have your pet tested every six months for intestinal parasites and annually for heartworms. All new pets to the household

should be tested and treated upon entry into your household. • All puppies and kittens should be de-wormed and all pets should be on monthly preventatives for parasites. • Pickup pet waste daily and cover sandboxes to protect them from fecal contamination. • Teach children to wash there hands and do not let them put dirt in their mouth. • Treat pets with monthly preventives for worms, heartworms, and flea/tick control. Studies indicate human companions have a poor record of compliance giving these products regularly and on schedule.

he National Trust for Historic Preservation is conducting a community challenge contest involving 100 historic sites across the country competing for $25,000. Calling the competition “This Place Matters” at preservationnation.org, the event is ongoing through the month of June. Only three California organizations are in the running, including Fremont’s Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum and Edison Theater. As of this writing, the Niles Museum is in 14th place, ahead of organizations in Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, Galveston, Baltimore, San Antonio, Atlanta and Albuquerque, but trailing behind those in Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, Cincinnati and Jersey City, among others. The Niles Museum is calling on Fremont residents and those in the greater San Francisco Bay Area to help the museum take home the top prize by voting online at the National Trust web site. The procedure for voting is a simple matter; all that is needed is an email address. Go to the Niles Museum’s website at www.nilesfilmmuseum.org and click on the rectangular icon labeled “National Trust for Historic Preservation: Please Vote Here.” Instructions outline the process for registering and voting. It only takes a minute, but will make a big difference in the future of this Fremont, California non-profit organization.

Among the benefits of this cash prize to the museum will be partial financing of a cold storage facility for the museum’s collection of over 9,000 films, enabling their preservation and use for hundreds of years. The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit formed in 2001 to preserve the legacy of silent films and Niles’ place in that history with the Essanay Film Company. The museum shows silent films every Saturday night with live music in the Edison Theater, built in 1913 in the Niles district of Fremont. The museum also displays photographs, posters and early film equipment used in the Bay Area, and is available to be seen with docent-led tours every Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon - 4 p.m. The Museum is located at 37417 Niles Blvd., Fremont, California, 94536. Phone (510) 494-1411. Help make a difference. Your vote counts!

SUBMITTED BY KELLY HAYES, CSUEB SPORTS INFO DIRECTOR Cal State East Bay's Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) honored Pioneer baseball player Johnny Volk as the Student Leader of the Year at its annual awards banquet at New University Union on June 3.

A senior pitcher from Quartz Hill, Volk has served as the president of CSUEB's Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) for the past two years. Over the past few weeks he was also the recipient of the Pioneer Spirit Award, given annually to the Cal State East Bay student-athlete who demonstrates dedication to the athletics department, the community and his fellow student-athletes, and a Student Life and Leadership honoree.

“I'm both proud and humbled to receive such an honor,” Volk said. “It has been a tremendous four years and getting awards like this only reinforce my strong passion to have the Student-Athlete Advisory Council continue to support the campus community. “At the same time, I know that we can still do more to help,” he added. “There are still a lot of areas where the Student-Athlete Advisory Council can help in our community.” Since the outset of his college career, Volk has been a leader both on the field and within the campus community. As SAAC President, Volk helped the Pioneers to collect the second-highest Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraising total in the CCAA in 2009-10, Cal State East Bay's first year in the conference. He was also selected to attend the NCAA Student-Athlete Development Conference in 2009. Volk was one of 700 student-athletes from across all three NCAA divisions at the conference and the first CSUEB student to attend. This year, Volk helped to organize several events for SAAC, including a successful Homecoming Pep Rally and dodgeball tournament, both of which raised money for Make-A-Wish. Volk was also involved in other events on campus, including a student flash-mob to open the Recreation and Wellness Center and Relay for Life. ASI Student Leader of the Year recognition is awarded annually to one student who demonstrates leadership within and a commitment to the campus community at Cal State East Bay. Volk was one of only a few award recipi-

ents on the night that was not an ASI board or committee member. Volk finished his college baseball career in May and wrapped up his academic year on June 11, graduating with a bachelor's degree in business administration. He now hands the reigns of SAAC over to women's soccer player Tenaya Davis who was elected as SAAC President for the 2011-12 school year. “This campus and athletic department has given so much that I will always be a proud alumnus,” said Volk. “I can't wait to see what Tenaya and the rest of SAAC do next year."

A former student-athlete at Morgan State and assistant coach at Central Arizona College and Wilmington College, Jones helped coach 15 regional qualifiers in cross country and five school record holders in track and field over the past four years with the Bears. “I am humbled yet excited to have the opportunity to lead the Pioneer cross country and track programs,” Jones said. “[Debby] De Angelis has a vision for our program and is a proven winner and leader who believes in my ability to lead and has been extremely supportive. The entire staff is committed to excellence. I

three straight women's titles from 2003-05. “We want to thank Coach Ryan for his effort and coaching success as he moves into retirement,” De Angelis said. “We are pleased to have been able to select from an excellent pool of applicants and look forward to Coach Jones moving us forward in the CCAA.” The Pioneers expect to be accepted as an active member in the NCAA Division II this summer after completing the three-year transition process during the 2010-11 season. Next year, Cal State East Bay will be eligible for both CCAA and NCAA postseason competition following the two-year probation period which it has just completed.

t’s been said that you can’t go home again. True? Not in every case. Annie Wood, a Niles native, has come home to revitalize one of Main Street’s iconic cafés. The Vine will be opening in July, just across from the town plaza in the Essanay Café location. Ms. Wood once put in a stint as executive chef at the Essanay, then left to travel the world. With her business partner and long-time friend, Margo Cristein, Annie Wood will once more call Niles “home.” Good news – a new name, new menu, an imaginative ambience, and delicious food will characterize one of Fremont’s favorite eateries, while maintaining its devotion to community. Annie Wood and Margo Cristein want their Fremont neighbors and customers to feel comfortable at The Vine: stop in for a cup of coffee, hang out in the lounge area, read, meet friends, have a sandwich and a beer. Bring the kids, because the back patio area is going to expand, providing not only more seating but a picnicstyle area with room to play. If you prefer, you can

sit out front at an umbrella table, with your dog, and people watch while sipping iced tea, French press coffee or infused juices. Last Wednesday the keys were passed from retiring owners Bruce Cates and David Price to Annie and Margo (as they will surely be called) and Annie’s twins, eight month old

Sophia and Olivia. Three of the six were jet lagged, having just returned from a trip to Peru. But the time change didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s eagerness to describe their plans for The Vine. Chef Wood and Ms. Cristein are really excited, and so keen to begin work on The Vine that the lights were on well into the night that very first evening. Annie’s background includes culinary training in Santa Barbara, catering, executive chef posts, and several years as a flight attendant (free travel perks!). Margo and Annie have been friends since they were four years old and they not only enjoy each other’s company, but admire and respect their differing talents. Margo is a union member construction worker, with a background in

theater and serious dining. A definite “foodie,” she started a restaurant club in San Francisco, and has been described as a “Jill of all trades.” Some of her more wide-ranging experiences you’ll have to ask her about yourself; suffice it to say she is a renaissance woman. Community, family, local ingredients, sustainability, affordability, good food and good company are the touchstones for the new restaurant. While, the Essanay Café, under the direction of Chef Matt, held up a fine tradition of white tablecloth, high-end gourmet dining, the new Vine will be less formal, more eclectic, with kind of an agri-pop atmosphere. The farm to fork policy will continue with simple but elegant food taking the form of small plates, salads, sandwiches and desserts. Wine

and beer tastings will be offered, from local vintners and breweries and fresh, organic produce will come from just up the street at LEAF, Bruce Cates’ newest adventure in cooperative local farming. You can watch your lettuce grow and then stroll a few blocks to find it on your plate! The best of the café’s traditions will continue: Open Mic and music nights, weekly specials, the Vintner’s Dinners. The Vine plans to be open for business on July 1, Tuesday – Sunday 10 or 11am to 9pm. Brunch will be served on the weekends. Keep an eye on the windows and this paper for upto-date information so you won’t miss a minute of news about The Vine. There’s cause to celebrate that what happens in Niles, stays in Niles, and we can all be a part of it.

ummertime can be great fun for kids. Yet each summer, physicians end up treating many children for severe sunburns, reactions to insect bites and stings, and injuries incurred during outdoor activities, including burns caused by barbecues, campfires and fireworks. Dr. Dennis Unson, a pediatrician on the medical staff at Washington Hospital, notes that parents can avoid letting these hazards ruin their children’s summer vacation, and he offers some useful guidelines: Sun Exposure “Sunburns can be very painful and can lead to skin cancer later on,” Dr. Unson says. “I recommend using sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 20 that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Apply sunscreen 15 to 20 minutes before going outdoors, and reapply it at least every two hours. Sunscreen is important even on cloudy days. I see a lot more sunburns on overcast days because people aren’t as aware of their exposure and don’t feel themselves getting burned.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new requirements for over the counter sunscreen products. See the information box on the far right for more details. “Sunscreens with zinc oxide protect against both UVA and UVB rays, and they are very benign and non-toxic,” Dr. Unson observes. “Before using a new brand of sunscreen, test it on a small area of the child’s back for a couple of days and watch for reactions such as redness or a rash.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

“Don’t use sunscreen on infants under 6 months old unless you absolutely have to,” he adds. “Instead, dress the baby in lightweight clothing with long sleeves and pant legs. Even when older children are wearing sunscreen, it’s best to have them cover up and wear hats with a wide brim.”

duration more than effectiveness. Repellant with 10 percent DEET lasts about two hours, while one with 24 percent DEET is effective for about five hours. You should not use insect repellant on infants under 2 months old. It’s better to use a lotion product instead of a spray, and you must avoid contact with the eyes.

per’ outdoors, be sure it’s up out of children’s reach.” Safe Outdoor Play Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. among children. “Whether you’re at a pool, lake, river or ocean, you should never allow children to swim alone, and do not rely on flota-

Learning swimming safety skills is vital to a child’s well being and these skills stay with them for life. Some tips to prevent drowning include installing barriers around the pool to prevent access, using pool alarms and closely supervising children when they swim.

Insect Repellants That annoying insect bite or bee sting could cause an allergic reaction for some children. And just because West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease aren’t the top headlines in the news anymore doesn’t mean they’re not still of concern. “The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using insect repellants that contain between 10 to 30 percent DEET,” Dr. Unson states. “The difference in the percentage of DEET affects

Combination products with sunscreen and repellent aren’t recommended because sunscreen generally should be applied more often than repellant.” Other options for repelling insects include “natural” products without DEET such as Picaridin and eucalyptus oil. “The EPA and CDC have both approved Picaridin,” says Dr. Unson. “It may or may not be as effective as DEET. Outdoor candles with citronella also can be useful. If you use a ‘bug zap-

tion devices to protect a child from drowning,” Dr. Unson cautions. “Even in ‘kiddie pools’ with one or two feet of water, children need constant supervision. If you have a backyard pool, a childproof fence with a lock is essential. When you’re boating, rafting or water skiing, always insist that children – and adults – wear life preservers. Adults need to set the example.” Head injuries are not uncommon in bicycling, skating

or skateboarding, and they can be deadly. “Wearing a helmet is the single most important safety factor in biking and skating,” Dr. Unson notes. “Kids who are skating or skateboarding also should wear protective knee pads and wrist braces. Make sure children follow the rules of the road, riding on the right side of the street and making a complete stop at stop signs and stoplights.” Summer campfires, barbecues and fireworks are major sources of burn injuries, as well as causes of disastrous forest fires. To make your summer fire-safe, Dr. Unson recommends keeping small children away from all sources of fire, including matches, lighters, camp stoves and hot barbecue grills. As for fireworks, he warns: “Fireworks are not only illegal in most communities, but also very dangerous. No one should have personal fireworks. Leave it to the experts. Be sure your children attend only professional fireworks displays.”

New FDA Regulations on Sunscreen The FDA has announced significant changes to sunscreen products that will help consumers decide how to buy and use sunscreen, and allow them to more effectively protect themselves and their families from sun-induced damage.

BART Board endorses Make It In America legislation SUBMITTED BY DONALD LATHBURY The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board has endorsed H.R. 613, The Airports, Highways, High-Speed Rail, Trains and Transit: Make It In America Act of 2011. Congressman John Garamendi’s (DWalnut Creek, CA) Make It In America legislation would create American jobs by requiring all transportation equipment purchased with federal taxpayer dollars to be sourced with Americanmade goods/components. BART is California’s largest transit system by ridership and the fifth largest transit system in the nation, with 44 stations and more than 350,000 weekly riders. "It's no secret too many Americans are unemployed and that one of the rea-

sons has been the exodus of American manufacturing overseas," said BART Director Joel Keller (District 2--Contra Costa). "This has made it difficult for transit systems like BART to purchase American-made vehicles and other products that support job creation in the US. The BART Board supports Make It In America-goals because we should not only be providing reliable public transit service to Bay Area riders but also assisting with job creation by encouraging more opportunities for greater American manufacturing. H.R. 613 (Garamendi) will help us get there." "We know transit infrastructure projects create critical jobs in our region and nation but so should manufacturing the vehicles and products used by transportation and transit agencies daily,"

said BART Director Gail Murray (District 1 - Contra Costa). "We must create more opportunities for agencies like BART to purchase American products. Hence, the importance of supporting Rep. John Garamendi's H.R. 613. We must begin the process of bringing back important manufacturing that supports local jobs.” “BART understands public transit systems work when the people they serve are in gainful employment. America invests billions of dollars in transportation, annually; it just makes sense we should Make It In America to create good jobs for our local communities,” said Congressman Garamendi. “I thank the BART Board for their commitment to creating new American jobs and for their support to rebuild America’s man-

ufacturing sector.” H.R. 613 would create American jobs by setting stronger standards for goods and equipment purchased with federal dollars for airports, highways, high-speed rail, trains and transit. The legislation would increase domestic content provisions for rolling stock from 60 to 100 percent over time, eliminates non-availability waivers and would create similar waiver reporting requirements across different modes of transportation. A month ago, the Obama administration called on Congress to pass legislative language that is nearly identical to H.R. 613.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY J. DENNIS WOLFE A recent TV Ad shows a person grilling a cell phone representative about a new phone plan. Every aspect of the plan is scrutinized including the monthly cost. Then the image switches to the same person in a doctor's exam room. The doctor asks, "Do you have any questions for me?” The same person who was rapidly firing questions at the phone representative simply shrugs and shakes his head, effectively saying, "No." No wonder we have a health care costdelivery crisis in this country We are the problem… as well as the solution. A reader recently sent me an email regarding the disparity of costs for drugs and lab services. In response, let’s use the TV advertisement noted above as a guide. Thank you, Suresh. When an insured’s prescribed medications are purchased, an insurance identification is processed and usually, co-payment is required. Here is a real surprise. More often than might be imagined, the insurance co-pay for generic medications is about the same price or even more than the

actual cost. So, why not shop around, or ask the insurance carrier about mail order, or investigate alternative outlets through the internet. In many cases the reason is an immediate need. That leads to another, deeper aspect of this issue. When you were in the doctor's office and a new, brand-name medication was prescribed, did you ever think to ask the doctor why he/she prescribed that particular medication? How did the doctor know about this new medication? Most likely, a pharmaceutical representative brought the brand-name, newly patented medication to the doctor's attention and offered free samples for the doctor’s use. In many cases, low-cost, generic medication works just as well. A generic substitute might only cost $10 per month while the brand name medication requires $30-$50 monthly co-pays. That difference can add up to an annual cost of hundreds of dollars in unnecessary costs, all because you shrugged your shoulders when the doctor asked if you had any questions. Let's now turn to diagnostic tests (blood tests, x-rays, urinalysis, etc). Several places offer lab work in this area. Each has its own pricing structure and it is a safe bet that

June 17, 2011

most patients do not know the charges or what the insurance companies pay. The problem is compounded since the facilities negotiate a fee structure with each insurance carrier. This means that insurance companies have different allowable amounts for each service with each lab. It is impossible to know these discounts in advance because negotiated rates are confidential and proprietary. What can you do? 1. Ask the doctor what lab he/she is using. Ask if the tests are really necessary? Tests are not always indicated but may be prescribed as a precautionary tool. Remember it is known as "practicing medicine" not "perfecting medicine.” 2. Contact your insurance company and ask them which lab offers the best pricing. You have a right to ask. Speak to a claims supervisor. Stop shrugging your shoulders! This is about your money and your health. Stay healthy. Stay tuned. Get involved. Learn what is being done. Your life now does indeed depend upon it.

ble by donations from members and income generated through annual fundraisers. A selection of environmental books, videos, and DVDs for both children and adults are donated to the Alameda County libraries in the Tri-Cities each year. Over the past 38 years, approximately $37,000 worth of materials has been donated. In 2007 the Eco-Grant was established, through which TCEC gives monetary donations to groups or individuals to assist with environmental projects. Grants average between $100 to $300 and have been awarded to 15 applicants over the last three years for various projects, including herb garden restoration at Ardenwood Historic Farm, binoculars and microscopes for the City of Fremont’s nature programs, a butterfly garden at Tyson Lagoon’s Tule Ponds, worm composting at Parkmont Elementary School, and gardening and educational supplies for Mission Way Baptist Church. TCEC is now encouraging ecofriendly compostable products for those occasions that call for disposable dining ware. Made from plant fibers, these plates, bowls, and cups can go in the green waste can. Finding these items may be hit and miss at large retail stores, but they are available at some local outlets that specialize in “green” products and www.worldcentric.org. TCEC continues to work in conjunction with many local groups to protect and improve the environment, and make our communities as livable and sustainable as possible. Morrison says they work to keep ahead of the curve, as it is easier to influence matters before they start than to change them

later. He calls TCEC “a catalyst to cause things to happen,” and says they hope to serve as an example for other communities in how to operate. A professor from Pennsylvania State University has taken notice, and is featuring TCEC in his book

on Earth Day due out next year. Highlighted in the chapter on environmental groups, TCEC is one of only 25 groups in the country. When asked what 40 years means, founding member and newsletter Editor Donna Olsen met question with question. “What would it look like if we hadn't come?” In recognition of their dedicated years of service, TCEC received a framed proclamation from Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman, commendation from Newark Mayor David W. Smith, Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition by Pete Stark, and framed Resolution California Legislature by Senator Ellen Corbett and Assembly Member Bob Wieckowski. Ten stalwart individuals have been involved from the very beginning, with another 42 that joined in the ‘70s. TCEC has 225 current memberships and is always looking to expand their numbers. “It’s a

constant educational process,” says Olsen about getting people aware of their organization and for them to take notice of what has been done and what needs remain. If you are interested in the environment and being part of a group that makes a helpful and lasting impact on the community, Tri-City Ecology is the place for you! Members receive the monthly Eco-Logic newsletter that contains updates on projects, lists local nature events, overview of board meetings, as well as helpful information on activities, opportunities to reach out to the community, and environmental education. “It’s a place to have a voice,” says Gail Blalock, who has been a member for 20 years. “I feel like I get more than I give just from the education.” TCEC also holds open public meetings the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at their office and resource center located at 3375 Country Drive in Fremont. Despite TCEC’s tremendous successes, focusing on the past is rare. “Mostly you don't look back; you look forward to the next issue,” says Olsen. Those future issues include involvement in the Caltrans Safety Improvement and Widening Project in Niles Canyon (www.savenilescanyon.org) and fighting to save open space in the Kimber Park community of Fremont (www.savekimberpark.com). Also of concern is Fremont’s Environmental Services Department’s proposed elimination of the Environmental Services Advisory Commission. TCEC hopes for a restructuring and redefinition of the commission’s role in order to maintain their ability to advise the city on environmental matters. “It is never ending,” says Olsen of the work. “If it ended, where would we be?” To learn more about the TriCity Ecology Center, call (510) 793-6222 or visit online at www.tricityecology.org.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

June 17, 2011

BY DON THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Jun 15 - The Legislature took up a budget proposal Wednesday offered by majority Democrats, but the plan was widely seen as merely a stopgap to meet the constitutional budget deadline. Democrats hoped to pass their budget plan on majority votes in the Assembly and Senate, allowing lawmakers to continue receiving their salary and per diem payments. An initiative approved by voters last year punishes lawmakers by stopping their paychecks if they miss the June 15 deadline. Even as they offered a detailed proposal to close California's remaining $9.6 billion deficit, Democratic leaders intended for the governor to continue negotiating with Republicans. The GOP must provide two votes in each legislative house to enact the budget Democrats and Gov. Jerry Brown really want. That hoped-for budget includes a temporary extension of expiring tax increases to fund schools in the coming fiscal year and an authorization for a special election this fall so voters can decide whether to extend the tax hikes for an even longer period. “The governor pushed for a better plan and we support his plan,” Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said as he opened floor debate on the Democratic proposal. He said Democrats wanted to continue working with Republican lawmakers to see if they will provide enough support to go to the ballot with the tax questions later in the year. If not, however, Steinberg said Democrats would expect Brown to sign the budget they are expected to pass Wednesday. “I would love nothing more than to come back sometime between June 15 and July 1 and pass Plan A,” Steinberg, D-Sacramento, told reporters earlier in the day. July 1 is the start of the next fiscal year. The next two weeks are crucial because the last of the tax hikes passed in 2009 - increases to the sales and vehicle taxes - expire June 30. continued on page 31

SUBMITTED BY GOVERNOR’S OFFICE In a YouTube video and veto message released Thursday, June 16, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. announced that he will not sign Senate Bill 69 and Assembly Bill 98, which together comprise the state budget passed by the Legislature on June 15, 2011. The full text of the veto message is below: I am returning Senate Bill 69 and Assembly Bill 98 without my signature. In January, I presented a balanced budget solution with a mix of deep spending cuts and temporary tax extensions subject to voter approval. My plan would put these extended revenues in a lockbox, ensuring that they are only used to protect education and public safety. It would also address California’s long term fiscal crisis by substantially paying down the $35 billion wall of debt built up over the last decade. Yet Republicans in the Legislature blocked the right of the people to vote on this honest, balanced budget. Meanwhile, Democrats in the Legislature made valiant efforts to address Cali-

fornia’s budget crisis by enacting $11 billion in painful cuts and other solutions. I commend them for their tremendous efforts to balance the budget in the absence of Republican cooperation. Unfortunately, the budget I have received is not a balanced solution. It continues big deficits for years to come and adds billions of dollars of new debt. It also contains legally questionable maneuvers, costly borrowing and unrealistic savings. Finally, it is not financeable and therefore will not allow us to meet our obligations as they occur. We can – and must – do better. A balanced budget is critical to our economic recovery. I am, once again, calling on Republicans to allow the people of California to vote on tax extensions for a balanced budget and significant reforms. They should also join Democrats in supporting job creation and ending tax breaks for out-of-state companies. If they continue to obstruct a vote, we will be forced to pursue deeper and more destructive cuts to schools and public safety– a tragedy for which Republicans will bear full responsibility.

June 17, 2011 Democrats, continued from page 30

Republican lawmakers have not agreed on the tax matters and say they want reforms to public employee pensions, a spending cap and regulatory changes to help California businesses. They criticized the Democrats for trying to pass a budget that was released just hours before the floor sessions and without Republican support. “What we have before us is a Democrat budget that reflects a Democrat vision,'' said Sen. Bob Huff, Senate Republicans' lead budget negotiator. “Clearly, the Democrats didn't want to go down this path to reform.” Democrats had tried to scare voters with the possibility of an all-cuts budget, only to lose their nerve and use gimmicks and accounting maneuvers to preserve programs, said Huff, of Diamond Bar. Steinberg responded to Republican complaints by saying the Legislature would pass comprehensive pension reform and take “real steps” to overhaul the state's business regulations later in this year's legislative session. Under the Democratic plan being considered Wednesday, education would see $3 billion less in state funding than Brown called for when he released his revised budget proposal in May. Steinberg said the majority party's plan also includes more than $500 million in cuts to state programs to help close California's remaining $9.6 billion deficit. It also relies on tax and fee increases Republicans say will be challenged in court if they are enacted without a twothirds vote. Those include increasing car registration fees and extending a quarter-cent sales tax that otherwise would expire next month, aides said.

Democrats still hope Republicans will agree to ask voters later this year to extend temporary tax increases, Steinberg said. The main debate revolves around asking voters to extend the increases to the personal income, sales and vehicle taxes that were approved two years ago. The sales and vehicle tax hikes will expire June 30, while the income tax increase expired in January. So far, Democrats have been unable to line up the four Republican votes needed to set a special election or keep the taxes in place until voters have their say. A Field Poll released Wednesday shows 52 percent of registered voters support a renewal of those taxes, with 44 percent opposed. That's down from 61 percent support for the tax extensions indicated in a Field Poll taken in March. Brown did not take a position on the Democratic proposal being debated Wednesday. His spokesman, Gil Duran, said the governor would not comment until the Legislature sends him a budget plan. Brown and Democratic lawmakers already have reduced by more than half an original budget deficit of $26.6 billion, primarily through spending cuts. Democrats have little appetite for making even deeper cuts in social services, health care, parks and other programs. Their plan being considered Wednesday avoids even deeper cuts by reducing the temporary 1 cent increase in the state sales tax to a quarter-cent, thereby retaining some additional tax revenue. It would boost the state's vehicle registration fee by $12, impose a surcharge on rural residents for the cost of fighting wildfires and require online retailers to collect state sales tax.

The $12 registration fee would be a charge for services provided directly by the Department of Motor Vehicles. It is separate from the increase in the vehicle license fee that is scheduled to expire June 30. The rural surcharge would assess an annual fee of $150 per home for those whose fire protection is provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Democrats say they can also impose those fees with a simple majority vote - rather than the two-thirds needed for tax increases - because they would be considered direct fees for a service. The Democratic plan also revives a proposal pushed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sell 11 state properties and lease them back from the new landlords but makes important changes to the previous Schwarzenegger proposal, primarily by allowing the state to repurchase the buildings when the lease expires. Democrats also assume higher tax revenue in the coming fiscal year from a recovering economy. The budget asks Republicans to provide the two-thirds majority needed to extend the increase in the state vehicle tax to generate $500 million for local law enforcement programs. Without the extension, local governments would lose the money. Democratic leaders wanted the Legislature to renew the vehicle and sales tax increases directly until the special election and perhaps throughout the entire coming fiscal year - to provide funding stability for schools.

June 15 A bicyclist called to report a possible dead body on the Alameda Creek bicycle path. An unresponsive male (50 +) wearing a bicycle helmet and lying near a downed bicycle was found on the ground near the Alvarado/880 bicycle underpass. Witnesses had seen him riding on the trail about 20 minutes prior. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. There were no signs of foul play. So far he is listed as “John Doe” (No ID). East Bay Regional Parks PD is investigating the case with assistance by Officers Francisco and Laing. A residential burglary at 40400 block Andorra Court was interrupted at 12:15 p.m. Two Black Male suspects fled northbound on Las Palmas. Subjects are described as mid-teens, one with short hair and plaid shorts; the other short hair, gray shorts and black Tshirt. An associated vehicle is an older model black SUV. Investigated by Officer J. Harvey Officer Peters investigated a deuce drunk driving crash/hit and run in which the juvenile suspect was due to graduate from Kennedy High School the next day. Officer Marcelino investigated a hit and run in which the suspect vehicle had been reported stolen out of Union City. The suspect ran from the crash and discarded a few items of stolen property in a shrub. Officer Marcelino located a receipt inside the stolen car that was date/time stamped at a 7-11 store. Street Crimes followed up with the store and viewed video of the suspect purchasing items. A frantic 911 call from Southlake Mobile Homes concerned a subject who was stabbed. Officers arrived and located the victim who had been stabbed several times. The victim was uncooperative, but did tell officers who stabbed him (yes, the same guy from the hit and run with the 7-11 receipt). Officer Macciola responded to the area and located the 26-year-old male suspect at the 7-11 on Delaware (go figure). The suspect was arrested and identified as the driver in the hit-and-run collision involving the stolen vehicle. Investigated by Officers Hunt and Wilson Officers responded to the area of Logan and Central on a report of a suspicious person. The reporting party believed the suspicious person was the same subject who had burglarized her home in April. Officer Kwok stopped the subject, and while performing a pat down search, located a handgun in the subject’s front pocket. Officer Kwok arrested the subject, a 25-year-old male for weapons violations.

Residential Burglary At approximately 12:00 a.m., Milpitas police officers responded to a report of a burglary in the 400 block of Santa Rita Drive. The reporting party stated an unknown suspect entered his residence, sometime between 8:00 p.m. and midnight, while he was sleeping. Once inside, the suspect or suspects ransacked a few rooms and stole miscellaneous tools. Milpitas Police Officers were summoned to the residence and searched the area for the suspect. The suspect remains at-large. We would like to remind our residents to lock their doors and windows to minimize the possibility of another person unlawfully entering their residences. We strongly encourage residents and others visiting our community to report any suspicious circumstances, suspicious persons, or crimes in progress. Anyone with any information regarding this investigation or other similar incidents is encouraged to call the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400.

Union City Log June 13: The Alameda County Fire Department (ALCO) requested assistance from the Union City Police Department for a suspicious injury call. ALCO initially responded to a routine medical call involving an injured child with a head wound at a residence on the 32000 block of Monterey Drive. They located a five-year-old child inside the residence suffering from a traumatic head injury who was unresponsive and later transported to a local hospital for treatment. During a subsequent interview with the child’s parents, it was learned that the injury had occurred during a family dispute in which the father, Prashant Malik, threw a metal object that unintentionally struck the child. As of June 15, the child is listed in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The child’s father was evaluated, arrested for Child Endangerment, a felony, and transported to Santa Rita County Jail. Anyone with information concerning this incident should contact Union City Police Department Detective Roberta Paul (510) 471-1365 or through the anonymous tips line (510) 675-5207 or tips@union-city.org.

AP WIRE SERVICE TRENTON, New Jersey (AP), May 12 - A classic sports car stolen from an East Coast city nearly 36 years ago has been recovered on the other side of the country. A Santa Maria, California, man bought the 1969 Chevy Camaro SS from a seller on eBay in February. But Keith Williams tells KSBY-TV he contacted the California Highway Patrol after certain features of the car didn't match the model. Police discovered the vehicle was stolen from Newark, New Jersey, on July 8, 1975. The original owner, Janice Maffucci, told the TV station the car was stolen from the post office where her father worked. She can't believe the vehicle was recovered. Maffucci says she plans to sell the car. Police are tracing the registration in hopes of finding the thief.

Cubs sweep to WSLL title, continued from page 19

SUBMITTED BY TAMMY ORTEGA Flopping their fins after last week’s defeat, the Treeview Dolphins returned to beat Bay Area Dolphins for a final score of 579-419 on Saturday June 11, in East Bay Swim League regular season action. Bundled in mittens, scarves and hats, parents stood in the windy unwelcoming weather at Chabot College to watch their children compete in the second EBSL match of the season. Time keepers that normally sit during the meets paced around to keep warm. Walking around the pool you could see the chattering teeth of the children that struggled to make it through the day. Parents couldn’t help but laugh when tarps began flying and clothing blew away. Despite the weather conditions both teams swam exceptionally well proving their love for the water. Many children beat their own personal times and the mighty Treeview nation gained a large portion of their points in their relay races working together with their team members. For some kids it was their first time in the intimidating Olympic sized swimming pool designed to increase speed the children were able to maneuver their way around pretty well. Special recognition to this week’s swimmers of the meet for Treeview for the 11-and-over age group goes to Charles Eldred, and for the 10-and-under Esther Maciel and Kwaku Owusu. Great job to all of

Treeview’s coaches and team want to extend a special thanks to Casey Clark, a swimmer with them since 2007, who will unfortunately be relocating and leaving the team. Casey has been a longtime Dolphin and will be missed. The Clark family has been actively involved with the swim team for years helping with anything from fundraising to donating their personal time to help the team out.

nings with eight strikeouts and allowed only two runs to set the stage for victory. Carlson came in for the final innings from the bullpen and pitched shutout ball; he was supported by strong defensive plays in the field by Fahim Zaman, Harith, Ian Andazola and Sullivan to seal the victory. Unlike the semifinals game when he got the win, Huey, the Cubs’ closer, would not be needed on this day. With season lows for pitches thrown and hits allowed, the Cubs put an end to the A’s impressive run through the tournament.

BY GARY VAN DEN HEUVEL PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Unseasonably wet and cold weather threatened to mar last weekend’s Lift-aThon, a weightlifting charity event held at Irvington Park for Brian Stowe, but organizer Darrell Lutz called the event a success. “I would have been happy with two people, let alone 22, which was our total number.” Lutz estimated that the Lift-a-Thon raised about $1,500.

The 2011 Minor Cubs championship season was characterized by team-based accomplishments from start to finish. The team had the league’s stingiest defense and a highpowered offense that averaged over 10 runs per game, with 10 of the players scoring double digits in runs for the season. Led by veteran Garrett Zieske, the Cubs batted over .400 as a team with an on-base percentage of nearly .600. An impressive eight players overall (Sullivan, Zieske, Huey, Carlson, Zaman, Conner Cook, Joshua Kim and Schmitz) were

Enabled by a supportive parent volunteer base, coaches Mike Zieske, Mark Schmitz and Sid Huey partnered with manager Kevin Sullivan to mold a talented and determined team that excelled on its way to the championship. Advancing to the District 14 Minor Invitational, the Cubs are scheduled to play Newark American in the first round of the tournament this Saturday, June 18, in hopes of continuing their run through this magical season.

“I saw that Jennifer had posted some status updates on Facebook about Brian and how she knew him personally, so I decided to put something together and the Lift-a-Thon is what came up.” Lutz is a personal trainer and owns a business in Fremont, M.A.S.S. Training. He is also a former head football coach. Some of his players participated in the event, which Lutz said “wasn’t a real competition but a lot of the guys who were lifting knew each other so there may have been a little friendly rivalry.” Lutz hopes to hold another event in July, but an exact date has not yet been announced. He plans to have it at his gym, which is located at 5127 Mowry Ave., inside Top Flight Gymnastics.
