911, a date of infamy Some dates are forever burned into the annals of history and the minds of those who bore witness to the event and actions that shaped subsequent developments. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke to the Congress of the United States of America following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, calling it a “Day of Infamy,” launching entry of this country into World War II. Other events have triggered widespread conflicts and national emotions; each case spawning a myriad of results. The following story from a local middle school reveals a less visible (and surprisingly positive) outcome of a day that citizens throughout the world will remember as one of the most negative, reprehensible and dastardly acts against innocent lives.
A Different 911 Story SUBMITTED BY FOAD AMOON An hour before Alsion Montessori Middle/ High in Mission San Jose opened its doors for the first time, an American Airlines jetliner slammed into the North tower of Manhattan’s World Trade Center in Manhattan. The world remembers this black day because of the unprovoked nature of the attack and of the loss of more than 3,000 lives. It stunned all of us into the realization that the world’s most powerful naAP PHOTO INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

tion had fallen prey to a handful of terrorists. Within the local Alsion school community, however, the 911 attack will always have a bittersweet aspect. It provided us with a “teachable moment” that was so successful it changed Alsion’s approach to teaching our students to this day. The teacher scrapped the lesson plan prepared for that day. What else could he do? Everyone sat transfixed to the television screen, unable to focus on anything else. The next day, he pulled out his notes about Socratic discussions from a Montessori course on teaching adolescents. Named for Socrates, the fourth-century Greek philosopher who employed this technique, this pedagogical method has the teacher take a position on an issue. Rather than tell students what to think, students are asked to reflect and give their own answer. The teacher guides student responses to uncover nuances and controversies imbedded in the issue. After 2,400 years, the Socratic Method has been proven to be effective way to encourage critical thinking. The day after 911, the question was asked, “Once we discover the people responsible for this attack on us, what we should do with them?” The entire student body consisted of only a dozen seventh graders, mostly 12-year-olds, but their answers were both wide ranging and wildly imaginative.

SUBMITTED BY GOSIA GIZYCKI "Fashion Provoked" expresses four unique views of fashion inspired by fashion concepts from designer Fred Alim. With innovative choreography, breathtaking contemporary movement, and fashion forward designs, Bliss Dance Company, led by Artistic Director Cassie Begley, is sure to enthrall any audience. Bliss is a contemporary dance company that expresses women's issues through the fusion of diverse disciplines of performance dance. For information about this performance, please contact the Smith Center Box Office at (510) 659-6031 or visit www.smithcenter.com.

911, continued from page 1 “We should round them up, give them a fair trial and then kill them.” This was the consensus view. At one extreme, a student proposed “We should hang them up by their ears and drill holes in their heads while they were still alive.” Another, more reflective student, replied, “No, we should require them to be servants in the homes of those they killed. When the terrorists finally realize what they had done, their guilt will be a greater punishment than death.” Although discussion of what would be a just punishment for the 911 terrorists yielded insights that most people would not expect from a dozen 12-year-olds, that was not what impressed their teacher. From a workshop the preceding summer, he recalled an important lesson: “Process is more important than the product.” He realized the Socratic Method was a key to student engagement. Without exception,
every student contributed with enthusiasm. No one held back. The process arising from the 911 discussion ten years ago was, indeed, more important than what the students actually said. The Socratic Method was, the teacher concluded, “A silver bullet!” In early 2001, that teacher, was also Alsion Montessori’s founder, Michael Leahy, a MBA graduate and businessman, who had filled-in temporarily until an acceptable professional teacher was hired. As founder, Leahy also held the position of Board President with the authority to institutionalize the Socratic Method at the school. He hired Michelle Doyle, who had formal training in the Socratic Method and earned a reputation for success. A conference table with space for twelve students displaced traditional student desks. It is difficult to imagine any discussion topic to be more
stimulating to students than “What would be a just punishment for the terrorists who attacked America?” especially on the day after it happened. However, to this day, the events of 911 have inspired many other topics which Michelle Doyle writes at the top of the sign-up sheets she posts on the school bulletin board every Monday for her “Socratic elective.” Alsion now has another Socratic conference table, for seventh graders only, with Carter McCoy presiding. If 911 did not happen on the first day Alsion Montessori Middle/High opened its doors, would Fridays mean the same as they do today? No one can say. But when you ask students who graduated from Alsion, what made their experience there the most valuable or the most fun, the Socratic elective at Alsion always ranks near the top.

Fundraiser supports the Washington Hospital Infusion Center for chemotherapy patients
I
f supporting a good cause among friends, while enjoying a glamorous evening of fine food and incredible entertainment appeals to you, then get your ticket to the Top Hat Dinner Dance before it’s sold out. The black-tie-optional event will be held on Saturday, October 8, in the Grand Tent at Washington West. Each year the Foundation holds the Top Hat Dinner Dance to help raise funds for equipment or services that will improve patient care. Funds raised from this year’s Top Hat will support the construction of the Sandy Amos Outpatient Infusion Center. Scheduled for completion in October, 2011, the state-of-the-art facility will offer a comfortable venue for patients who require frequent infusions of chemotherapy or biological therapies. Instead of traveling out of the area or being admitted to the hospital for treatment, patients will now have the option to receive their therapy close to home, in a peaceful setting full of natural light, on the second floor of Washington West. With the help of a group of cancer patients, the facility has been designed from the very beginning to be patient-centered. Patients will receive their infusion in a reclining chair, with the option to watch TV, read a book or simply relax. Each patient room is fitted with a sliding wall, so that patients can be treated in privacy or socialize with their neighbors. Treatments will be administered by a
staff of experienced nurses specializing in intravenous therapy and cancer care. Washington Hospital is honored to name the center in recognition of Sandy Amos, a staff nurse who recently retired after 36 years of service. During her time at Washington Hospital, Sandy worked in every unit and served as the Hospital’s labor representative for the California Nurses Association for thirty years.
Guests of Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation's milestone 25th annual black-tie gala, Top Hat XXV, being held on Saturday, October 8, 2011, will have the opportunity to mingle amidst the elegant décor of the grand tent. Proceeds from the event will benefit the new outpatient infusion center at Washington Hospital.
After dinner, guests will be treated to the ever popular Joe Sharino Band, which has entertained crowds all over the Bay Area by playing the best of pop, rock, Motown, funk, country, disco, R&B, jazz, Latin and swing. The allstar band includes a former member of Santana and Sly and the Family Stone, plus a songwriter for Earth, Wind and Fire.
“After we heard about all the amenities the center was going to offer, and the fact that it would let people receive their care close to home, we were excited to support the project,” says Demetrious Shaffer, President of the Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation. “This is the 25th annual Top Hat dinner, and we are proud to support our talented oncol-
ogy doctors and nurses by helping to get this center built.” The evening will start with a hosted reception followed by an elegant dinner catered by McCalls Catering and Events, which for over three decades has been widely recognized for its exceptional cuisine and attentive staff. After dinner, guests will be treated to the ever popular Joe Sharino Band,
which has entertained crowds all over the Bay Area by playing the best of pop, rock, Motown, funk, country, disco, R&B, jazz, Latin and swing. The all-star band includes a former member of Santana and Sly and the Family Stone, plus a songwriter for Earth, Wind and Fire. Celebrating 25 years Now in its 25th year, the Top Hat Dinner Dance has enjoyed a quarter century of elegant charity. First held at the Top of the Mark in San Francisco, it has grown into a huge success, with more than 650 attendees. Now the Top Hat Dinner Dance is held in a grand tent adjacent to Washington West. The décor is always incredible and provides a night of memories you won’t want to miss. This event is is sponsored by Janice Futch-Claridge, Fremont Bank, Professional Home Care Associates, and a number of other generous donors. Sponsorships are still available! The Foundation plays a key role in ensuring Tri-City residents have access to the most ad-
vanced medical care available today. It was established in 1983 as a separately incorporated nonprofit organization to enhance the Washington Hospital Healthcare System by raising public awareness and securing financial support. The Foundation helps Washington Hospital meet the community’s healthcare needs and obtain state-of-the-art medical equipment.
Don’t miss your opportunity to attend! The hosted reception starts at 6 p.m., with dinner and dancing from 7:30 p.m. to midnight. Individual tickets to the Top Hat Dinner Dance cost $250, with proceeds benefitting the Sandy Amos Outpatient Infusion Center.

One of the largest U.S. flags displayed to honor those who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA as well as others who have served to preserve our way of life, will appear on a Bay Area hillside. Hayward resident and Air Force veteran Tom Ballard, has vowed to remember those who have sacrificed and served the United States of America. On the tenth anniversary of 911, a 6,500 square foot flag, constructed of 8,000 square feet of vinyl, 1,000 grommets and 1,000 stakes will be “flown” on the hills of Hayward. Its measurements will coincide exactly with the dimensions an official U.S. flag and those used for the first rendition… 123’ by 65’. To help “raise” the flag, contact Tom at delta106@sbcglobal.net Flag Installation Saturday, Sept 10 7 a.m. Drive flag to MacDonald Way and carry it up the hill Meet at 31385 Hugh Way, Hayward Delta106@sbcglobal.net Flag Removal Monday, Sept 12 Contact Tom at delta106@sbcglobal.net for details
The 27th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day is set for Saturday, September 17, and the California Coastal Commission is preparing to make this the largest single cleanup effort in the state’s history by setting a goal of turning out 100,000 volunteers to clear debris from inner waterways and coastlines. Did you know that 80 percent of the trash that enters the ocean from California comes from land-based sources? This means that recruiting volunteers to clean up local rivers, creeks, roadsides and other inland areas is vital to the success of this annual effort. The Commission is continuing its “BYO for CCD” initiative, asking volunteers to bring their own bucket or reusable bag and gloves, instead of creating more trash by using the disposable supplies provided at every site. Because of this initiative, the number of plastic bags used during last year’s cleanup was reduced by 30,000. “The Coastal Commission is hoping that the 27th Coastal Cleanup Day and BYO campaign will help educate our volunteers about how easy it is to make simple behavioral changes that can have year-round impact,” said Eben Schwartz, outreach manager, California Coastal Commission. “By ensuring that our inner waterways and coastlines remain free of trash and debris, we can all make an enormous impact on the health of our environment.” Last year, 82,504 Coastal Cleanup volunteers (a new record) collected more than 1.2 million pounds of trash and recyclables. Covering more than 2,600 miles of coast and inland shoreline in 53 counties around the state, the 2010 cleanup covered the largest geographic area ever. Cleanups will take place at more than 800 sites along California beaches, bays, rivers, creeks, parks, roadsides and highways.

T
he kids have started school again, and pretty soon parents will be faced with a problem: what to do with all of their kids’ art projects. During the preschool years, the sheer number of paintings and drawings is staggering. As the kids get older, there are fewer art projects; still each one is special, and deserves recognition. Before I go on, let me give you my permission not to save every single piece that comes home. If you do, you will quickly be inundated. Some can be displayed temporarily on the refrigerator or bulletin board, and then surreptitiously sent to the recycle bin. My sister-in-law, a preschool teacher, will tell you that for young children, the joy lies in the process of creating, not so much in the final product. This means that they will be more excited about the act of painting rather than the finished painting itself. So, by all means, ask them about their artwork, celebrate it, display it, and then take it down to make room for the next masterpiece. My own kids are older now—one in college and the other a high school junior. But when they were younger, I was pretty selective about what I saved. I kept writing samples, such as stories and essays, and meaningful pieces of art: ones that showed my kids’ abilities, and ones I know they truly made themselves. I also kept ones I particularly liked and ones my kids particularly liked, and those two were not always the same. Whatever you decide to keep, always label them with your child’s name and date—

you think you will remember, but believe me, you won’t. Below are some ideas for ways to display and preserve your children’s art: • Display art on a large magnet board, or a series of magnetic boards. These can be attached to closet doors or to the back of their bedroom doors. Or how about magnetic strips used as a border around your child’s room? And did you know there is magnetic paint available? Why not paint a large rectangle on one of the walls in your child’s room and use that for display? Trim the rectangle with picture frame molding and instantly you create a fun area for display. • A series of clip boards arranged in a grid pattern on your wall is also a neat and tidy way to display art. Several masterpieces can be stored on the clip boards and new pieces can be easily added. • Hang a clothesline in their bedroom, mudroom, family room, kitchen or laundry room on which you can easily attach several pieces of art with clothespins. For every new piece that goes on the clothesline, one piece comes off. This will keep the display fresh and tidy. There is a wide variety of cute and whimsical clips you can use to hang their artwork on clotheslines: just do a quick online search and you’ll find clips with frogs, birds, flowers and lots more. Or just paint wooden clothespins in colors that coordinate with your own décor. • Take digital photographs of special pieces and compile them onto a CD. You’ll always have them, and they’ll take up

a lot less space. • Photograph your child next to several pieces of his art. Create a scrapbook with these photos. • Turn the digital photographs into a 12-month calendar to give as gifts to family members. You could also have these photos printed on coffee mugs, puzzles, mouse pads and T-shirts. • Create placemats by having artwork laminated. • Purchase frames at discount stores or garage sales and arrange an “art gallery” in a hallway. Select frames that make it easy to take the art in and out so you can have a constantly rotating collection. Check out www.dynamicframes.com for really great hinged frames specially created to store up to 50 masterpieces and make artwork displays very easy to change. * Select a few favorites and have them professionally framed to display in more prominent locations in your home. In my home there is a black and white drawing my daughter created that looks like anything I might buy at an art gallery. * Investigate www.theartblossom.com, a service that will turn your child’s artwork into museum quality prints and greeting cards.

HOME SALES REPORT
Ohio shop's classical music seems to cut loitering AP WIRE SERVICE COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP), Aug 12 - Shoppers and employees say an Ohio convenience store has fewer people hanging around and hassling customers since the business started blaring classical music. Customers tells WBNSTV (http://bit.ly/qWqMfK) that loitering has declined quickly outside the United Dairy Farmers location in the Columbus Short North neighborhood. Workers who've also noticed a change say the new music went on earlier this week as part of upgrades at the store. Shopper Allie Beck says the classical music is loud she can hear it all the way down the street. But she says it's an improvement over all the people who used to ask for change or bother passersby outside the store. Information from: WBNSTV, http://www.10tv.com/

Dawson had started the final portion of the exam last week when the Northwestern Law School graduate went into labor. The exam must be finished to be valid. Nightingale Dawson says her goal was ``to get through the exam as fast as I could and leave'' unless anything more serious happened. Her contrac-
tions were about 15 minutes apart. After finishing, she walked with the proctor about one block to a downtown Chicago hospital. The Downers Grove woman's son, Wilson, was delivered by C-section about two hours later. She'll find out in October if she passed the bar.

ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP), Aug 26 - A woman who lost her prosthetic leg while swimming in a western Minnesota lake three years ago has been reunited with the limb thanks to an angler. Beth Krohn was fishing last month on Lake Ida in Alexan-
dria. She says her line kept snagging on something, and that she hoped it wasn't a dead body. A KSAX-TV report (http://bit.ly/q1jrRF) says her catch turned out to be a prosthetic leg belonging to Pam Riley of Morris. Krohn returned the leg to Riley after tracking her down through a prosthetic limb man-
ufacturer in Alexandria. Krohn says she's proud of the catch, comparing it to going deer hunting and shooting the biggest buck. Riley says she always wondered what someone would think if they saw a leg surfacing in a lake.

Their commitment to this beautification project has provided our students with an outdoors learning space and also established an area in the future for a garden. I would like to especially thank Luis Lira for his diligence in coordinating the project and his commitment to the students here at Warm Springs.” Many thanks to the following Rotary members who participated and helped out: Luis Lira, Eva Stone, Don Brown, Mike Kearns, Greg Bodganoff, Jamie Liu, Alex Huang, Rosemary Petersen, Alexandra Petersen and Linda Bailey.

Rotary Secretary, Audrey Kearns explains, “The club had previously worked on other projects at Warm Springs Elementary, so when Principal Brett Nelson Principal approached us, as there was no school funding to take on this needed project, the Rotary Club stepped in.” The group poured cement and installed concrete curbs and drainage pipes to contain and re-direct the run-off, as well as eight benches for seating. The final step was preparing the dirt slope for future landscaping. Through Rotary’s labors, the area is now more us-
able and presentable and overall, a better place for kids to sit, enjoy recess or have lunch. An organization of business people, Rotary identifies projects to help the local and global community; they volunteer their time and donate money, says Kearns. Among those volunteering at Warm Springs Elementary was long time Rotarian Don Brown, a member since 1984. Brown mentioned that he enjoyed working on projects to benefit the community and those less fortunate who need help in life. He is also active in assisting the Rotaract Club of Greater Fremont; college students, considered to be Rotarians in Training. The club also supports two Rotary Interact Clubs (for high

The transition from employee to entrepreneur is not easy. An entrepreneur’s path is rocky and more risk driven than that of an employee, but it is also more rewarding. If you are ready to take on the challenge of transitioning from employee to entrepreneur, the following tips may help: 1) Make a plan. What type of business do you want to start? What are your objectives? To begin, it may help to consider the following questions: What do I want for myself? What do I want for others? What do I want for my business? As you outline your business goals, your target market and your financing strategies you will be able to create a business plan. This plan will guide you as you start your own business. 2) Communicate with Others. The next step towards becoming an entrepreneur is communication. How will you communicate your business plan to others? Networking is a great way to start and branch out. You can also use social
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
media to publicize your business. Connecting with others on Linkedin or “tweeting” your latest business news will allow your name to become better known. The key is to develop relationships in which your acquaintances will know you, like you and trust you. 3) Take Risks. Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks. The McDonalds franchise first started when an entrepreneur saw an opportunity to grow the McDonald’s restaurant that was started by two brothers in San Bernadino, CA. Was this move risky? Of course. In fact, the McDonalds brothers weren’t even willing to do it. The outcome of the risk is obvious today as the franchises dot the globe [2]. It may be hard for you to step outside your comfort zone and take risks, but it is something that every successful entrepreneur must do. Look at each risk as an opportunity to learn and grow. 4) Be Accountable. Accountability is an important factor in starting your own business. As a business owner, you are accountable for your business. Understanding the importance of accountability can help you to be more efficient in how you use your time. A client does not want to pay you for doing nothing. With accountability, tasks are accomplished and changes are made to increase service, productivity and quality. Our firm has developed a system of accountability where each employee reports to an advisor. Their personal progress is tracked so that improvements can be made. Developing a system of accountability within your business will be beneficial.
As you start your own business, each step you take towards becoming an entrepreneur will bring you closer to becoming self-reliant, leading you to greater wealth, happiness and success.

Arrest in Michelle Le case SUBMITTED BY LT. ROGER KEENER, HAYWARD PD Hayward Police Department has been committed to finding Michelle Le and establishing the circumstances
Giselle Esteban
that led to her disappearance. On September 6, 2011, an Alameda County Superior Court judge authorized a probable-cause arrest warrant in the name of Giselle Esteban for the crime of murder. Esteban was arrested at 10 a.m. on September 7, 2011 as she left her residence in Union City. Le, a 26-year old nursing student was at Kaiser Hospital, Hayward, as part of her training on May 27. At approximately 7 p.m., she told a fellow student she was going to walk to her car during the break. She was seen doing so at about that time but never returned to class. She had informed some of her classmates that she and a friend would drive to Nevada, immediately after class, to visit a friend in Reno. Le was still absent when class ended. Her instructor reported her missing to Hayward Police Department after checking the parking structure without detecting any sign of her.
Hayward PD immediately launched a search which included cell phone and cell tower analysis. Le’s car was found the next morning half-a-mile away from Kaiser, locked and secure, at Ponderosa Court. Initial cell phone analysis (with FBI help) indicated that her phone had traveled from the Kaiser area to the Niles and Sunol Canyon areas which were subjected to ground-and-air search, including the use of aerial infrared devices and rescue K9 teams, but Le was not found. In the wake of the initial searches during the weekend of Le’s disappearance, there were multiple searches by teams comprising between five and 65 specially trained members, depending on the terrain. The Le family has made incredible efforts, organizing seven searches in addition to those by Hayward PD. They have mobilized the help and support of hundreds of community volunteers and assistance from the Klaas Kids Foundation. Compelling evidence that led to Esteban's arrest for Le’s murder includes blood stains belonging to Le inside Le’s car; security camera footage at the Kaiser Hospital parking structure, where Le's car had been parked, showing Esteban was present before and after Le's disappearance; physical evidence proving Esteban had been inside Le’s vehicle; cell phone records and cell tower activations showing Le and Esteban's phones traveled a similar path from the Kaiser Hospital area toward other locations within Alameda County immediately after Le’s disappearance; a search of Esteban's residence on May 29 recovered a pair of athletic shoes, which Esteban requested to wear and bore Le’s DNA on one of the shoes. The September 7 arrest is one step in a continuing investigation which will not be completed until Le has been found. Hayward PD will now present the investigation to the Alameda County DA's office for review. If someone has information regarding the disappearance of Michelle Le or knows where she might be, please contact private investigator, Michael Frame, at (925) 837-8309 ext. 33 or by email to Michael@TheFrameGroup.com. Anonymous emails can be sent through the website www.TheFrameGroup.com. Alternatively, please call the Tip Line for this case at (510) 293-5051.

Support California solar companies Solyndra’s demise should not deter support for emerging industry; SB 134 would provide a state bid preference for companies using California made solar panels SUBMITTED BY ANDREW LAMAR Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-San Leandro) and Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) called on the Legislature, on August 6, 2011, to continue nurturing the growth of the solar industry and pass a bill to give companies using solar panels manufactured, or assembled, in California a preferential consideration in state contracts. “I understand people’s anger and frustration over Solyndra’s bankruptcy and shall do all I can to assist the 1,100 people who lost their jobs and obtain answers to what happened,” Corbett said. “However, now is not the time to turn our back on important emerging industries, such as solar power, that will be the cornerstones of the 21st century global economy.” “Senate Bill 134 supports California jobs,” Corbett added. “If California is going to place solar panels on state property, we should try to use panels made or assembled in California. It’s common sense to use taxpayer dollars to
support California jobs.” “One thing is clear,” Wieckowski said, “Solyndra’s demise shows how tough it is to compete with solar companies in other countries, such as China, which benefit from cheap labor and huge government subsidies. SB 134 is the right thing to do.” The week ending September 2, 2011, Fremont-based solar company Solyndra shut down, laid off 1,100 employees and filed for bankruptcy. Many have questioned the state and federal governments’ funding of the company as part of efforts to nurture the development of the solar power industry. SB 134 would provide a five-percent bid preference on state contracts to companies that use solar panels manufactured or assembled in California. “The bottom line is California’s unemployment rate is more than 12 percent, and our economy continues to struggle to rebound from recession. Enacting SB 134 is one simple step we can take to help protect California jobs,” concluded Corbett.

Ford, Toyota to Collaborate STATEMENT RELEASED BY FORD MOTOR CO. AND TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION Ford Motor Company and Toyota Motor Corporation – the world’s two leading manufacturers of hybrid vehicles – announced they will equally collaborate on the development of an advanced new hybrid system for light truck and SUV customers. Ford and Toyota have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the product development collaboration, with the formal agreement expected by next year. Both companies have been working independently on their own future-generation rear-wheel drive hybrid systems. The two now have committed to collaborate as equal partners on a new hybrid system for light continued on page 23

Solyndra files for bankruptcy, looks for buyer AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), Sep 07 - A California solar panel manufacturer that received more than a half-billion dollars in government loan guarantees filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday and plans to seek a buyer for the company. Solyndra LLC, based in Fremont, Calif., becomes the latest in a series of failures in the U.S. solar business, which has been beset by oversupply and competition from abroad. The company, which makes unique solar tubes that can soak up sunlight from many different angles, has struggled recently to raise capital as the economy soured. Investors turned away from solar companies as profit margins were squeezed by declining prices for solar wafers and rising supplies. Experts
also expressed doubt about the future of government incentive programs. Solyndra owes $783.8 million, including loans of $527.8 million to the federal government, according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. Solyndra said in its filing that it would look for a suitor to buy the entire company out of bankruptcy, and if it couldn't, it would liquidate its assets piecemeal to pay creditors. The company announced last week that it would seek bankruptcy protection and lay off 1,100 workers, virtually its entire workforce. Lawmakers used the announcement to criticize President Barack Obama's support for green technologies. Solyndra, once considered a rising star in the solar industry, received $535
million in loan guarantees and $1 billion in private investment. Obama visited the company last year, as did other officials, including former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Energy Secretary Steven Chu. Two other prominent solar companies, Evergreen Solar Inc. and Spectrawatt Inc., both sought bankruptcy protection in August. Spectrawatt's CEO said the company could not compete with solar manufacturers in China, which receive “considerable government and financial support.” Former Solyndra employees filed a class-action lawsuit against the company in response to the bankruptcy, saying that Solyndra failed to properly notify them. They're seeking extra wages and benefits, according to a separate complaint filed with the bankruptcy court.
Calif court mulls appeal rights of Prop 8 backers AP WIRE SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Sep 07 - California's highest court seems inclined to side with backers of the state's same-
sex marriage ban in thinking that the state Constitution gives ballot initiative proponents legal authority to defend their measures in court. The California Supreme
Court heard more than an hour of arguments Tuesday on that question, which could prove pivotal to the future of the voter-approved ban, known as Proposition 8.
Several justices noted that the court has never refused to allow the sponsors of ballot questions to appear before it when measures were challenged.
The Supreme Court is considering the matter at the request of a federal appeals court that is weighing whether the ban violates the constitutional rights of same-sex couples.

Ford, Toyota to Collaborate, continued from page 22 trucks and SUVs. This new hybrid powertrain will bring the full hybrid experience of greater fuel efficiency to a new group of truck and SUV customers without compromising the capability they require in their vehicles. Ford and Toyota believe that their collaboration will allow them to bring these hybrid technologies to customers sooner and more affordably than either company could have accomplished alone. “This agreement brings together the capability of two global leaders in hybrid vehicles and hybrid technology to develop a better solution more quickly and affordably for our customers,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. “Ford achieved a breakthrough with the Ford Fusion Hybrid, and we intend to do this again for a new group of truck and SUV buyers – customers we know very well.” Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota executive vice president, Research & Development, said: “In 1997, we launched the first-generation Prius, the world’s first mass-produced gasoline-electric hybrid. Since then, we have sold about 3.3 million hybrid vehicles. We expect to create exciting technologies that benefit society with Ford – and we can do so through the experience the two companies have in hybrid technology.” The two companies also agreed to work together on enablers to complement each company’s existing telematics platform standards, helping bring more Internet-based services and useful information to consumers globally. Under the MOU agreement, the two companies will bring the best of their independently developed hybrid
powertrain technology and knowledge to a new co-developed hybrid system, which will be used in rearwheel-drive light trucks arriving later this decade. Specifically, Ford and Toyota will: • Jointly develop as equal partners a new rear-wheel drive hybrid system and component technology for light trucks and SUVs • Independently integrate the new hybrid system in their future vehicles separately For years, both Ford and Toyota have been working independently on similar new rear-wheel-drive hybrid systems aimed at delivering higher fuel economy in light trucks and SUVs. When the two companies began discussing this potential collaboration, they discovered how quickly they were able to find common ground. “By working together, we will be able to serve our customers with the very best affordable, advanced powertrains, delivering even better fuel economy,” said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally. “This is the kind of collaborative effort that is required to address the big global challenges of energy independence and environmental sustainability.” Toyota President Akio Toyoda added: “Toyota is extremely proud to join Ford in developing a hybrid system for pickup trucks and SUVs. Not only is this tie-up clearly one aimed at making automobiles ever better, it should also become an important building block for future mobility in the U.S. By building a global, longterm relationship with Ford, our desire is to be able to continue to provide people in America automobiles that exceed their expectations.”
This rear-wheel-drive hybrid system will be based on an all-new architecture to deliver the capability truck and SUV customers demand while providing greater fuel economy. While the rear-wheel-drive hybrid system will share significant common technology and components, Ford and Toyota will individually integrate the system into their own vehicles. Each company also will determine the calibration and performance dynamics characteristics of their respective light pickups and SUVs. In addition, as telematics plays an increasingly more important role in the in-car experience, both companies have agreed to collaborate on standards and technologies needed to enable a safer, more secure and more convenient in-car experience for next-generation telematics systems. The telematics collaboration relates only to standards and technologies, and each company will continue to separately develop their own in-vehicle products and features. “Ford has made tremendous progress in the area of telematics,” Kuzak said. “We have unique and very good solutions today with SYNC and MyFordTouch. Working together on in-vehicle standards can only enhance our customers’ experience with their vehicles.” Uchiyamada added: “Toyota has also invested heavily in telematics in various countries around the world, with services like the G-BOOK and G-Link. In the U.S., we have just introduced the accessible, easy-to-use Entune. By sharing our know-how and experience, we would like to offer even better telematics services in the future.”
Bartz fired as CEO of Yahoo AP WIRE SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Sep 07 - Carol Bartz was fired Tuesday as Yahoo Inc.'s CEO by the Web portal's board of directors. The company says Bartz will be replaced by Chief Financial officer
Timothy Morse on an interim basis. Bartz, 63, has had a rocky tenure at Yahoo since she was appointed CEO in January 2009. Most recently, Yahoo settled a dispute surrounding a Chinese payment service called Alipay in a way that ended up diminishing Yahoo's stake in the company.
The departure was first reported by the Wall Street Journal's All Things D technology blog. The company plans to search for a permanent replacement for Bartz. Yahoo shares jumped 74 cents, or 5.7 percent, to $13.65 in afterhours trading.

ing players Grace Lee, Alyesha Bedel, Shannon Hua, Alexa Iwatani and Erin Cochran showed that they were capable of carrying the mantle for the future. The three incoming freshmen showed tremendous promise as well, making their junior high coach Walker proud. The victorious Lady Warriors also reached the semi-finals of the highly competitive San Diego Classic tournament for the very first time, playing high caliber teams from all over California. They came close to a shot at the finals but were denied by the Riverside girls who went on to win the championship. It was indeed a great accomplishment for the girls, coaches, school and the city of Fremont. The MSJ Lady Warriors are confident they will bring home the MVAL championship outright this 2012 season, a feat accomplished last in 1973!
NFL supports bill to protect young athletes SUBMITTED BY CLARE GRAFF The NFL commends the California legislature which passed Assembly Bill 25 on September 6, 2011. The bill, which now moves to the governor’s office, protects young athletes and fosters head injury awareness in youth sports. The bill contains three core components: 1) a youth athlete suspected of suffering a concussion in school sports cannot return to play that same day; 2) once removed from play, an after-school youth athlete cannot return to play until they have been evaluated and cleared to play by a licensed medical professional; and 3) parents must complete an education form before their child’s participation in the youth sports activity. AB 25 was authored by Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi and Senator Tony Strickland and is strongly supported by the NFL, Oakland Raiders, San Diego
Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, educators, youth sports organizations and health professionals. It was co-sponsored by Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez and Senator Alex Padilla. “Player health and safety needs to be a top priority for all ages and all levels,” said A.G. Spanos, the Chargers’ executive vice president and chief executive officer. “We applaud the California legislature for recognizing the importance of preventing and treating concussions, particularly among young athletes.” Laws like these are inspired by Zackery Lystedt who, in 2006, suffered a brain injury following his return to a middle school football game after sustaining a concussion. Since the passage of the Lystedt Law in 2009, 29 states have passed similar laws protecting young athletes.

Sep 6: Marin @ Ohlone Marin -1 Ohlone -1 The Renegades put the pressure on Marin and did not let up the entire first half. An early scare from the Marin side cleared the Ohlone goal wide and would not be repeated until midway in the second half. Ohloane pressured and defended well on all fronts. Davie “Germany” Kulhanek managed the midfield with Luis Chavez. Chavez was instrumental in his defense and launching of the attacks. Dominic Hertz, for-

ward, had two early shots on frame but was rejected by Marin’s Charles Newton. Daniel Gonzalez also opened fire on the visitors with three shots on frame. It was early in half two when Ohlone’s efforts finally paid off with a corner kick. Jonathan Santillan found the head of Greivin Quesada on a corner from the left side. The goal rallied Ohlone, but a broken play in the Marin side resulted in a counter attack that successfully stifled what had been a strong defensive stand managed by center back Raoul Chavez.
Marin scored off a shot from the top of the penalty box right of goal after a cross from the left flank was put right back by Chase Brower despite a healthy push from behind. Ohlone had many chances to score with seven shots on frame compared to one against. “We are putting the efforts everywhere on the field” said Coach Nordmo. “Last year we were pummeled by Marin, 9-2. A draw is definitely an improvement, but we feel a win was more in making. It’s coming for us. Our expectations are much higher now. We need to be more assertive in the attacking end, but everywhere else seems to be coming our way.

lege students informed and safe this school year. According to FireSafety.gov, a Web site supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the U.S. Fire Administration, most campus fires are caused due to a general lack of knowledge about fire safety and prevention. Cooking is also among the leading causes of fire injuries on college campuses, closely followed by careless smoking, alcohol use and arson. Here are some easy tips to follow to keep your dorm room or apartment safe from fire: • Ask the right questions before you start school: Students and parents should ask school officials important questions such as: “Does every room have a smoke alarm?” “How often are fire drills conducted?” “Are the residence halls equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems?” “How many fires have occurred on campus in the past few years?” Being knowledgeable about your campus fire safety program can help keep you safe in the event of a fire. • Don’t hide from fire alarms: Treat every fire drill as if it were the real thing, even if it occurs at 3 a.m. Leave the building immediately and close all doors behind you. Always be aware of alternative exits in case your main exit is blocked. Keep clutter out of hallways and entrances because they can become deadly obstacles to your escape. • Limit your use of open flames: The use of candles and indoor smoking are other top causes of on campus fires. Don’t allow smoking inside your dorm room or apartment and do not leave burning candles unattended. Finally, keep candles in a sturdy holder that keeps them away from papers, bedding, curtains and other flammable materials. • Never remove the batteries from your smoke or carbon monoxide detector: These devices can save your life, so taking out the batteries for use in other electronic devices is not a good idea. Always ensure that your smoke or carbon monoxide detectors are
working properly and have fresh batteries at all times. An easy way to remember to change the batteries on these devices is to do it when you change your clocks for daylight savings time. • Appliance safety: Be sure to use appliances only as they were intended to be used and keep them in good working order. Appliances such as hot plates, electrical blankets, irons, toaster ovens, hair dryers and portable space heaters all can become fire hazards if not properly used and attended too. Do not use any appliances or lamps that spark. • Don’t overload outlets: Using a series of adaptors to connect numerous machines or devices to an electrical outlet may result in an overload, power outage, spark or fire. Do not plug more than two devices into one electrical outlet. If multiple devices must be plugged into one outlet, have a licensed electrician evaluate the demands that can be placed on the power source. If an extension cord must be used, be sure to use an-approved (by a national testing laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories® - UL) and correctly rated extension cord for use with the particular appliance and location. • Follow school rules on in-house cooking: Cooking is the second leading cause of dorm fires after arson. The majority of cooking fires are started due to inattentiveness. Selecting appliances with automatic shut-off switches is a great idea for dorm rooms. Don’t use stoves and microwaves for storage and don’t use them to help heat a cold dorm room or apartment. Lastly, keep a functional fire extinguisher nearby the cooking area and make sure you know how to use it.

VTA Awards Contract for the Kato Road Grade Separation SUBMITTED BY BRANDI CHILDRESS The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) Board of Directors voted Thursday, September 1, 2011, to authorize VTA’s General Manager to execute a $22.14 million contract with Gordon N. Ball, Inc. for the construction of the Kato Road Grade Separation in Fremont. The roadway project is a joint effort between the City of Fremont and VTA to grade separate Kato Road from the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Once the project is completed, Kato Road will pass underneath the Union Pacific railroad tracks and future BART tracks. The bid from Gordon N. Ball, Inc. is 19 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate. The contract is funded by 2000 Measure A and Proposition 1B Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account. “This grade separation will both enable frequent BART service in the future and reduce congestion in the area that has previously been caused by freight movements,” said VTA Board Chairperson Margaret Abe-Koga. Under a VTA Board authorized Project Implementation Agreement with the City of Fremont in 2008, VTA is responsible for the design and construction of the Kato Road Grade Separation Project and the City of Fremont is the lead agency for the environmental clearance and right of way acquisition. “In addition to decreasing vehicle emissions and commute times, our partnership with VTA enhances safety by separating the freight and future BART traffic from pedestrian and
auto traffic,” said Fremont Public Works Director Jim Pierson. The project work includes construction of a steel UPRR bridge, a cast-in-place reinforced concrete maintenance bridge and reinforced concrete BART Bridge spanning over Kato Road. The BART bridge structure is essential to allow the Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension contractor access along the corridor over the depressed Kato Road. The grade separation activities also involve relocation of sanitary sewer facilities, installation of a pump station, removal and replacement of impacted landscape, trees and irrigation, and construction of traffic improvements at the intersection of North Milpitas Boulevard and Dixon Landing Road. BART to Silicon Valley extends the existing Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system to San Jose, Milpitas and Santa Clara. This will extend the current BART system 16 miles beginning at the future BART Warm Springs Station in Fremont and proceed on the former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through Milpitas to south of Mabury Road in San Jose. The extension would then descend into a 5.1 mile-long subway tunnel, continue through downtown San Jose, and end at grade in Santa Clara near the Caltrain Station. A maintenance and vehicle storage yard would be at the terminus of the project in Santa Clara. Construction is scheduled to begin in October with substantial completion by spring 2013. Kato Road will be closed for up to 9 months during this period.

Donate LIFE Walk SUBMITTED BY ANTHONY BORDERS The death of a Fremont man was tragic but it brought two families together. Fremont resident Ruben Bernal Jr. , 21, died of a gunshot wound in February 2010 but gave a new lease of life to Livermore resident Robert Moss, 61, in the form of a new kidney and heart. On Saturday, September 10, 2011, relatives of both families will participate in the Donate LIFE Walk even at Lake Elizabeth, Fremont, for a walk around the lake at 9:30 a.m., rain or shine. More than 400 people will gather
for California Transplant Donor Network’s (CTDN) two-mile “2011 Donate Life Walk.” Jeanine Locklear, 64, of San Ramon, received a kidney on September 10, 25 years ago; this meant she could see her only daughter, then aged 3, grow up. Alfonso Garcia, 17, of Pinole was saved by a liver transplant two years ago. He will walk with the Sacramento parents whose son donated his liver. Amy Weitzenberg Baghdadi, 40, of Santa Rosa will walk alongside Olivia Roberts Lemen , 33, of Napa. When cancer threatened her life, Amy received a portion of Olivia’s liver, saving her life.
There is a constant demand for organ and tissue donations. More than 10,000 northern Californians await organ transplants. This event, which raises money to educate the public about the need for organ donors and to fund CTDN annual ceremonies which honor donor families, will draw teams and individuals from throughout northern California.
