Don’t Shoot SUBMITTED BY AMY CHENEY David M. Kennedy, DON'T SHOOT: One Man, A Street Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-City America, in conversation with Alameda County Chief Probation Officer David Muhammad and Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts. Don't Shoot tells the story of Kennedy's long journey toward a solution. It began with listening to people on the ground, and what he heard was that there was a trust gap between law enforcement and the community. Closing that gap became the cornerstone of his approach, organizing powerful gatherings in which offenders came together with law enforcers and diverse community members and were asked to stop the violence. It's not that simple, but then again it is-the magic of the approach and of the book. Don't Shoot combines the street verite of The Wire, the social science of Gang Leader for a Day, and the moral urgency and personal

journey of Fist Stick Knife Gun. But beyond that, Kennedy will show, unmistakably, that there can be real solutions. Literal Justice is a partnership between Alameda County Library Write to Read Program/Juvenile Hall, the Alameda County Probation Department and community organizations. Future Authors include: Dr. Victor Rios, Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys and Jennifer Tilton, Dangerous or Endangered? Race and the Politics of Youth In Urban America (2012 Jan. date TBA). Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, with Angela Davis and David Muhammad.

Get your blood cholesterol checked every five years

ne in every six adults in this country has high cholesterol. This is serious, because high blood cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women in America today. September was National Cholesterol Education Month. If you missed it, it’s never too late to learn about cholesterol and what you should be doing to minimize your risk of deadly heart disease, heart attack and stroke. The problem is, you can have high cholesterol and not know it. “You can’t rely on any physical signs to tell you your cholesterol level is too high, because having high cholesterol does not necessarily cause symptoms,” warns Steven A. Curran, M.D., a family practice physician with Washington Township Medical Foundation. “In this sense, high cholesterol is a silent killer.” You also can’t feel safe because you have no family history of high cholesterol or you had a normal cholesterol test 10 years ago. That’s why the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends that all adults have their blood cholesterol checked every five years. If a problem is identified, you should have the test more often. What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that exists in every cell of your body. It helps to make hormones and vitamin D and to aid digestion. Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs and can also get it from the foods you eat.

Too much cholesterol in your blood stream contributes to the formation of plaque inside the blood vessels leading to your heart, called coronary arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis. Plaque build-up can harden over time and narrow your coronary arteries, limiting the flow of the blood that carries oxygen to your heart muscle. “When plaque builds up, it can break open, causing a blood clot to form. Large clots can partially or completely block the blood flow through the coronary artery, and this can lead to a heart attack,” explains Dr. Curran. Plaque build-up in other arteries of your body, such as the ones supplying oxygenrich blood to your brain or arms and legs, can cause other

problems—carotid artery disease, stroke or peripheral artery disease. Find out your cholesterol level A simple blood test can tell you your total cholesterol level, as well as levels of HDL (high density lipoproteins), LDL (low density lipoproteins) and triglycerides. A total cholesterol of less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered ‘desirable,’ putting you at a lower risk for heart disease. A cholesterol of 200 to 239 is considered “borderline-high.” A cholesterol of 240 or more is considered high. A person with high cholesterol has more than twice the risk of heart disease as a person whose cholesterol is below 200. “Knowing your LDL and HDL is also important,” adds

Dr. Curran. “LDL is sometimes called the ‘bad cholesterol’ because it can lead to cholesterol build-up in the arteries. HDL is like the ‘garbage truck’ of the blood because it goes into the arteries and helps to clean them out. HDL carries excess cholesterol to your liver, which removes it from the body.” A high level of triglycerides can be associated with an increased risk of heart disease. It may also be a sign of metabolic disease, such as diabetes. Listen to your mother The good news is that, for most people, high cholesterol is preventable. “The best way to prevent high cholesterol is to listen to the advice of your mother,” explains Dr. Curran. “That means, eat your veggies and go outside and play.”

Most people can prevent high cholesterol through diet and exercise. You should eat a sensible diet low in saturated fat and high in fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. You should also maintain a healthy body weight and exercise regularly. People who already have high cholesterol can usually get their level under control through a combination of these lifestyle changes and, if needed, medication under the supervision of a physician. Even if you are on medication to lower your cholesterol, it is still important to maintain a healthy diet. “Medication can make it easier to control your cholesterol, but it’s not a license to go overboard with your diet,” states Dr. Curran. “The advantages of a healthy diet shouldn’t be overlooked.”

Learn More For more information about cholesterol and heart disease, visit the web site of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute: www.nhlbi.nih.gov. The site includes an online Risk Assessment for Estimating Your 10-year Risk of Having a Heart Attack. To complete the assessment, you will need to know your total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

SUBMITTED BY JAMES MCGEE

y uncle took me out to lunch today. It wasn’t an ordinary lunch at all, but a very extraordinary one. We attended a luncheon for the Golden Gate Chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. The gathering was not large in size, but large in stature and pride with nine World War II veterans, including my uncle, in attendance. There were men from the infantry, artillery, even from famed General George Patton’s army. One was a machine gunner, one was a scout, one was tall and steady, and one was slow and quiet, but all were from our greatest generation, a generation that put country first; a generation that fought bravely for America and for the freedom of other countries from Nazi Germany. The guest speaker was a vibrant and thankful woman named Lucie who was born in Cologne, Germany, a young child of six years old when American GI’s occupied her hometown in 1944. She shared fond memories of strong and kind U.S. troops that turned away the Nazi regime. The young girl would grow up to be a translator for the United States government and eventually join the Army Reserve where she would meet the love of her life, coincidentally a veteran that had served in Cologne in 1944 and who had fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Recently widowed, Lucie now travels all around the country and fights her own battle, the battle to ensure that veterans are not forgotten and receive the care and assistance that they are entitled to.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

During the lunch I shared a picture and stories of my father-in-law who had landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day and had also fought at the Battle of the Bulge. The veterans and family members listened respectfully and commented on just how terrible the beach landing had been and just how brave he must have been to survive the battles. One of the veterans that I met was Armando, who had grown up in California and was drafted at 19 years old and ended up serving with the Massachusetts regiment in Europe. He told the story of how he made it through the war without injury until the last day of the Battle of the Bulge when he was wounded by Nazi mortar fire, sending shrapnel into his knee and shoulder. The shrapnel was removed from his knee weeks later, but the shoulder injury was not operated on until over 20 years later when he finally gave in to the lingering pain. He said he could never throw a ball or pick up a baby after being wounded, but he said that’s okay, “you just have to learn how to live life”. The lunch with my uncle today was a powerful occasion and a stirring memory that I will never forget. I was honored to be in the presence of our greatest generation, looking a bit older than they had during that valiant stand in Europe in 1944, but not looking any less proud. We should take a hint from Armando and just learn how to live life, and we should never forget the contribution that our veterans and their fallen comrades made so many years ago.

County unveils LEED Gold organics processing facility SUBMITTED BY KAREN STERN

aste Management of Alameda County (WMAC) unveiled its $11M, state-of-the-art LEED Gold Organics Processing and Transfer Facility at the Davis Street Resource Recovery Complex, San Leandro, on September 22, 2011. Only the third Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold building in San Leandro, it is the first industrial building designed to Gold standard in the city. “Our commitment to greening the environment extends beyond our natural gas collection vehicles and single-stream recycling services. We’re building green,” said Jack Isola, senior district manager of the Davis Street Resource Recovery Complex. “The Organics Processing and Transfer Facility is the keystone to future developments at Davis Street.” The building’s distinguishing features include stateof-the-art biofilter to eliminate odor; high-speed roll-up doors to contain odor and prevent bird entry; day-light via translucent panels and solar tubes; mechanically-stabilized embankment walls built with 100 percent recycled aggregate; 95 percent of construction waste recycled; 40 percent of building materials sourced locally; and 20 percent of building materials from recycled sources. Additionally, local contractors provided the majority of construction services and 92 percent were union jobs. The 34,967 sq. ft. building includes 1,127 sq. ft. of office space. The balance is dedicated to the processing and transfer of 150,000 tons of yard trimmings and food scraps annually. Residential organics are sent to WMAC’s Organics Material Review Institute (OMRI)-listed composting facility in Marin County. Excess materials are sent to third-party composters and

in the case of nearly 500 tons of Christmas trees to bio-fuel facilities. “This economic and environmental investment reflects our dedication to helping Alameda County and the Bay Area reach higher diversion goals,” said Barry Skolnick, Waste Management Area Vice President. “It also reflects our commitment to our host community, the City of San Leandro, and our many neighbors. Together, we’ll build a greener future.” A prototype natural gas collection vehicle, currently being tested in the City of Oakland, was on hand at the inauguration. Powered with bio-fuel made from landfill gas at the Altamont Landfill, Livermore, the truck entered the new facility after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Attendees included representatives from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, City of San Leandro, the Oro Loma and Castro Valley sanitary districts and many others. They toured the new building as well as the $1.5M Public Area Materials Recovery Facility (PAM) that opened in August 2011 with eight new green jobs at Davis Street. The PAM is designed to process 60,000 tons of construction and demolition material annually, diverting recyclables from landfills. Clean construction lumber is sent to WMAC’s mulch facility in Fremont where the wood is ground into mulch for gardening. It is part of the closedloop approach of WM EarthCare, a new landscape product line of locally-sourced, 100 percent recycled compost and mulch available at WMAC’s seven Bay Area facilities.

are slowly disassembled and returned to their original state,” says Pugh. He has suggested the possible existence of a cosmic “Rosetta Stone” that may give us insight into a kind of poetic shorthand left by extraterrestrials. Or perhaps simple messages of a more prophetic nature: truths that can only be expressed cryptically, out of some basic hive-awareness that resonates from all life here on Earth. Pugh’s photographs have appeared in several solo shows, including (locally) Sun Gallery and Faultline Photographics in Hayward, Ten10 and The Overpass Gallery in San Jose and Florentine Village Resort, Los Gatos.

SUBMITTED BY MARIA BENECH Children love Christmas trees and especially turning on the Christmas lights. Now imagine the thrill for the child who gets a chance to turn on the 10,000 lights that illuminate the 65-foot Christmas tree that’s erected in front of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Forest Service and its partners are inviting all Californians between the ages of five and 17 to participate in a drawing to win an allexpense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in early December with Speaker of the House John Boehner. “A young Californian will have the chance to participate in the tree lighting ceremony this year because the Stanislaus National Forest is supplying the 65-foot white fir that will stand on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol building. The tree is known as the “People’s Tree” and is a gift from Californians to the entire nation,” said

Maria C. Benech, U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree coordinator. The trip, which is paid for through private donations, covers the cost of travel for the winning child and an accompanying parent or guardian. Interested participants must move quickly, however. Entry forms for the 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony must be postmarked by Friday, Oct. 7. Entry forms and other information about the drawing and the history of the U.S. Capitol Tree are available at www.capitolchristmastree2011.org. The website also includes specifications and shipping directions for handmade ornaments, which are being sought to decorate the Capitol Christmas Tree. Individuals of all ages, including artists and crafters, are encouraged to create and donate ornaments for the Capitol Christmas Tree. Ornament makers are being encouraged to use recycled or natural materials for their creations.

Sometimes, the night sky is filled with dancing curtains of blue-green light, with patches of red and pink. It’s the aurora borealis, also called the northern lights. The closer you live to the North Pole, the more likely you will see an aurora. The same light show is also visible near the South Pole, where it is called the aurora australis, or southern lights.

We watch funny movies and sitcoms, go to stand-up comedy shows, tell jokes, make faces, and do countless other crazy things to get a good laugh. There are even groups that use laughter to relieve stress and improve health. Laughter Yoga was developed in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria who extensively researched the proven health benefits of laughter. He convinced four others to join him in a Laughter Club at a park in his neighborhood in Mumbai, India, to test his discoveries, eventually developing techniques and exercises of his own. Laughter Yoga is a combination of laughter, deep breathing, and stretching using a series of exercises designed to help release tension and encourage relaxation. Stress is a fact of

stressed feeling, and reminds people of ways they can use their laughter. Laughter conditions the abdominal muscles, reduces blood pressure and heart rate, improves lung capacity and oxygen levels in the blood, aids mental function, helps fight infection, and a host of other positives, not to mention it feels good!

Both suspects are described as Hispanic, 14-15 years old, thin build. Officers responded to Washington Hospital on a report of a subject who was being treated for a gun shot wound to his buttocks.

Newark Police Log SUBMITTED BY CMDR. BOB DOUGLAS, NEWARK PD September 25 A Newark police officer followed up on a petty theft case from the previous day in which the suspect had stolen the victim’s wallet, cell phone, etc. and then used one of the credit cards at Safeway. After obtaining video of the sales transaction, the officer identified a possible suspect and coordinated an early morning probation search.Erik Koskela of Newark was taken into custody without incident at his home and admitted his involvement after being confronted with video still shots of him using the victim’s credit cards.The victim’s cell phone and credit cards were also recovered during the search. At 2:18 p.m., a neighbor on Garrone Place called Police to report a possible residential burglary in progress involving three juvenile suspects. Three suspects ran out of the side yard where they were greeted by officers. The three juveniles were taken into custody and found to have marijuana branches stuffed in their waistbands. A check of the residence yielded a forced rear door, some graffiti on the interior walls and a cabinet in the garage that had been used to dry freshly harvested Marijuana. Subsequent investigation revealed the homeowner was eventually going to use this residence as a rental property but had not yet done so. It appears the juveniles had noticed

the house vacant for several months and had been using it as a place to hold parties and process marijuana plants unbeknownst to the homeowner. NPD officers responded to 6300 block of Baine Avenue at 7:53 p.m. on a report of a stabbing.

“Now they’ve got a whole new way of expressing joy,” Gonzales says. “It’s a real easy way for people to open up and enjoy being around people again.” Laughter Yoga has many different layers; it’s healthy and fun, and is a social bonding where you connect with people in a different way. Gonzales sees a transformation in her students from when they first arrive to how they are at the end of class. “There’s a real change and it’s real fun to watch.” Her class is carried out standing or in chairs; there is no need for mats or lying on the floor. She doesn’t deny you might feel silly, but it’s important to be comfortable and make eye contact to share the laughter. Gonzales instructs students not to over do it; there should be no forceful laughter, but more of a giggly laughter. “We simulate laughter to stim-

ulate laughter,” she says. Warm ups include a humming that blossoms into laughter, which helps loosen and relax the jaw; silent or “library” laughter; pulling faces to loosen facial muscles; working an imaginary hula hoop; shoulder rolls; and inhaling the scent of an imaginary flower with a deep exhalation. Exercises are diverse and can change from class to class. You might find yourself constructing a ball of laughter and passing it from person to person, riding an imaginary bike, blowing bubbles to the appropriate Don Ho song, reading from a jar of quotes, or sharing an embarrassing moment. “Everyday life has a lot of fuel for laughter,” says Gonzales, stressing that students are laughing with each other, not at each other. Students can even stage a temper tantrum, then open an

imaginary a box that holds their biggest desire inside. This illustrates how quickly your attitude can change. Gonzales says we’re conditioned to laugh in response to

Page 21

something, but Laughter Yoga is about laughing just because, and instituting that into daily life. “We’re laughing because it feels good, for nothing at all,” she says. First timer Jeanne McArthur said the class was definitely a fun and positive experience and there were things she could take away and use. Ben Bennett has been doing Laughter Yoga for around five years. He has been through sickness and operations, had asthma as a kid and suffered from a collapsed lung. He says he can’t lift weights or do floor exercises, but he can laugh. Ben says he’s told his friends about it, but can’t convince anyone to come; they think it’s silly. He believes if they would just let their guard down and try it they would be surprised. “It’s not silly at all, it’s just good fun,” Ben says. “There’s nothing bad you can say about it.” Laughter Yoga is a safe environment, easy and fun loving where everyone is on the same level, with any negativity or judgement left at the door. Adults are so often required to be serious, buttoned up, pulled

together; Laughter Yoga gets you back to an almost child-like place of freedom, lightness, calm, and openness. All you need is comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a ready to laugh attitude. Laughter Yoga is also offered at San Leandro’s Senior Community Center the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Fees are $8 for residents and $10 for non-residents; you must be 50 or above to register. Call (510) 577-3462 or visit www.sanleandrorec.org for more information or to sign up.

Sony to stop paying theaters for 3-D glasses BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER LOS ANGELES (AP), Sep 27 Sony Corp.'s movie studio has put theater owners on notice that it will stop paying millions of dollars per film for disposable 3-D glasses starting next May, just before it is to release a couple of summer blockbusters “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Men in Black III” - in 3-D. The move was announced in a letter sent to theater owners, according to a person with the studio. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity. The abrupt policy change comes as studios are struggling to adapt their business to falling DVD sales, while digital sales have not made up the difference. Moviegoers, who already pay an additional couple dollars or more for 3-D movie tickets, could be annoyed if they are burdened with a new expense amid high unemployment and a weak economy.

Sony's move was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter earlier Tuesday. Sony's worldwide president of distribution, Rory Bruer, told the magazine that the studio was trying to give theater owners a long lead time before the move goes into effect. It is unclear who will pay for the glasses: theater owners, who are financing the billions of dollars necessary to equip theaters with 3-D and digital equipment; advertisers; or even by consumers who might have to buy 3-D glasses and keep them for their next visit. Spokespeople for major theater chains Regal Entertainment Group and AMC Entertainment Inc. did not immediately respond for a request for comment. John Fithian, president of the National Association of Theatre Owners, also did not respond to a message seeking comment. At least one rival studio said it is not jumping on the bandwagon. Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc., said it was keeping its current system in place for now, al-

though it wouldn't specify what its deals were with theater companies. “The glasses issues are complicated and they vary from studio to studio,” said Warner Bros.' head of domestic distribution, Dan Fellman. “We certainly will do what's right for us. Right now, we really don't have any plans to change the way we do business.” Average ticket prices in the U.S. and Canada rose 6 percent to $7.89 in 2010, according to Hollywood.com, but the price in major cities like New York and Los Angeles can easily double that. Last year, some New York theatergoers saw red when it appeared that several theaters flirted with a $20 ticket price for “Shrek Forever After” in 3D, before dropping prices. Overall U.S. box office revenue in 2010 was only kept from falling due to higher prices helped by 3-D upcharges as attendance fell. So far this year, attendance is down nearly 6 percent and revenue is down nearly 4 percent at $7.8 billion.

6 hotel trends from disappearing tubs to new fees BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR NEW YORK (AP), Sep 26 - Pump bottle on the shower wall or individual shampoos and lotions you can take home? Luxurious tub for a self-indulgent bath or no tub at all? A friendly greeting from a well-informed local or a code transmitted electronically that will open your hotel room door with no human interaction at check-in whatsoever? Here are some details on six hotel trends bubbling up in the industry right now, and how they affect your stay. INCREASING FEES: Your hotel bill may include some unpleasant surprises. Not just the usual $20-aday resort and amenity fee, which you pay whether or not you use the tennis courts and pool complex, but how about a required $12 housekeeping surcharge or a fee for storing your luggage in the lobby? Total fees and surcharges collected by U.S. hotels are increasing from $1.7 billion in 2010 to a record $1.8 billion in 2011, according to new research from Bjorn Hanson, dean of New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality and Sports Management. Hanson recommends that consumers ask when getting a rate for a hotel what if any requisite fees will be added to the bill. If you're booking online, you may have to hunt

September 30, 2011

around the listing to see what might be added to the quoted rate in addition to taxes. LOBBIES AS SOCIAL HUBS: Colorful seating, free Internet service and trendy cocktail and coffee bars are helping to turn once-sterile hotel lobbies into social hubs. Hanson says while baby boomers might see the lobby as a place to meet at 6 p.m. sharp before heading to a prearranged restaurant location, younger travelers may prefer to gather more informally in the lobby, hang out for a while, socialize and take their time choosing where they'll spend the evening. They might check email, go online using a cell phone or iPad to look for dining recommendations, or try whatever snacks or drinks are readily available from the lobby market or bar. Hilton's new Home2 Suites extended stay brand was launched earlier this year with a lobby concept designed to bring business travelers out of their rooms. Tables and colorful couches offer inviting space for informal meetings as well as areas where anyone can plop down with a laptop and a beverage rather than sitting alone in a room watching TV. DISAPPEARING TUBS: Unless you're booking a suite, your next stay in a hotel room may not offer the luxury of a bath. Many newly built hotels are offering showers only. Marriott, for example, is “advising our newly built hotels to put showers in 75 percent of the rooms and bathtubs in 25 percent of the rooms,” according to Marriott spokeswoman Laurie Goldstein. “Our research shows that business travelers prefer showers to baths but families like the flexibility of a bathtub as well as a shower.” So if you're traveling with a small child who's going to need a bath before bedtime, call ahead to make sure your room has a tub. PUMP DISPENSERS: The advent of pump dispensers in

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

hotel bathrooms is good and bad news for those guests obsessed with the tiny bottles of shampoo and individually wrapped soaps that have been a beloved amenity for decades. The good news: If you need more shampoo than what may be as little as a half-ounce in those small plastic containers, you can pump as much as you want from the dispenser. No more fighting with your roommate over that tiny bottle or running to the front desk before your 6 a.m. shower to get another one. You can also feel greener if you use the pump. No more adding plastic throwaways to the waste stream. The bad news: What if you simply love those little bottles? The hand lotion is the perfect size to slip in your purse; and if you have leftover shampoo, the container is small enough to get through airport security. Or what if you find the pump dispensers unappealing? Some guests think they're unsanitary and prefer to use an unopened individual soap or shampoo. Fortunately, Hanson says, hotels that have switched to pump dispensers often have complimentary bottles or wrapped soaps upon request at the front desk. CHECKING IN ELECTRONICALLY: Who needs to wait on line at the front desk to check in? Some of Starwood's Aloft hotels are offering ``Smart Check-In'' to Starwood Preferred Guest program members. Members are sent a keycard with radiofrequency identification technology, and on the day of a planned stay, a text message is sent to the guest's mobile device with a room number. Upon arrival, the guest proceeds to that room, and the keycard will open the door. The technology is in place at Alofts in Brooklyn and Harlem in New York City, Lexington, Mass., Dallas, Jacksonville, Fla., and London.

Hanson says fully electronic check-in technology is being adapted by the hotel industry very slowly, but even as it becomes more widespread, he expects most hotels will still want staff in the lobbies to welcome guests and provide other services - if only to cater to an older generation that prefers human interaction to a touchscreen. LOCAVORE OPTIONS: The locavore and hyperlocal trend that has taken over the food world is fast becoming de rigueur in the hotel industry, particularly at high-end and boutique properties where chefs are growing their own herbs and even hosting their own beehives. The W in San Francisco in September had a local beekeeper, Jack Ip, install hives on a rooftop with a goal of eventually producing honey for use in the hotel menu. In New York City, the Andaz Wall Street hotel in Lower Manhattan sponsors a farmers market May through November in an arcade next to the hotel where produce, bread and other goods are sold by farmers and other vendors. The Andaz also sells fresh-squeezed juices and sandwiches in the market, and customers include hotel guests and neighborhood residents. “Guests will come down and mingle with residents,” said Andaz spokeswoman Rachel Harrison. “It allows them to feel they're really a part of the neighborhood. We want guests to feel like locals.” Hotel Indigo, which has 30 properties in the U.S. and another eight worldwide, also partners with local vendors and purveyors to showcase local seasonal fare, like a barbecue pork sandwich on the menu at the Hotel Indigo in Asheville, N.C., and a local craft beer called SweetWater served at the Hotel Indigo in Atlanta. Hotel Indigo is also working with celeb chef Curtis Stone on a continued on page 26

MVU Black wins memorial tournament SUBMITTED BY JUNE HEATON It was a bittersweet victory for MVU-93-GIRLS-BLACK, Fremont’s U18 soccer team, as they took First Place in the Hannah Welker Memorial Tournament, in Morgan Hill, September 25, 2011. The team dedicated their win to the tournament’s namesake, Hannah Welker, a former teammate of seven participating MVU girls’ (including three from MVU-GIRLS-WHITE). Hannah was tragically killed in a car accident in 2008 at the young age of 12. With their hair coifed with green and white ribbons that donned the number 47, Hannah’s jersey colors and number, MVU BLACK shut out all four of their opponents in the two day tournament. Afterwards, the team accepted their awards from Hannah’s father, Blaine, and sister Katie, who were pleased the MVU girls were on the receiving end of the tournament prizes. Tournament Winners, MVU-93-GIRLS-BLACK, pose for photo in front of Hannah Welker banner.

Chabot @ Ohlone Chabot - 2; Ohlone - 3 Renegades Open Conference play with close win over Chabot

Ohlone positioned itself early on to go ahead but a foul in the Chabot box would not be called and the Renegades were put to battle a solid Chabot side led by Alfredo Navarro and keeper Gonzalez Alejandro. Moments later, another opportunity as Greivin Pacheco Quesada would again be dropped atop the Chabot box went unnoticed by the center official. The game was not going to come to Ohlone easy, as Chabot got the go-ahead late in the first half when a corner kick, cleared on the line by Ohlone, was stopped short on the edge of the penalty box by

Navarro for a quick shot and goal for Chabot. Moments later Ohlone would have the same opportunity off a corner and Greivin Pacheco Quesada would find the goal… but the official called it back and placed a foul on the Renegades. The home side saw a total of four yellows including one on the bench for a technical foul. Two minutes before the end of the first half, Ohlone was squashed by a shot from the far right side that got by the back line and Keeper Juan Mortinez. Half two: Ohlone came out focused and intense. The game was fought hard by the midfield of Ohlone anchored by Luis Chavez and Hector Romero. A hard push by the Renegades on the backline gave Quesada a chance to slot Martin Lopez for a header… the Renegades’ first goal. Chabot countered and put

an attack on the Ohlone goal, but Raoul Chavez was defending and managing his back line keeping the visitors at bay. As the game wore on, the Renegades again pushed, but later Quesada’s quick defensive run put pressure on the Chabot back line that forced a turnover putting the duo of Quesada-Lopez to task again. The game was hard fought with fouls, intensity and tenacity on both ends. With ten minutes left, Ohlone stole the ball off a midfield push by Chabot and Quesada would now find Dominic Hertz for the finish up the middle. "We kept our focus", said Coach Nordmo, "We have been getting better and better at this. We feel our team is accelerating and learning from our mistakes. In the past we may have peaked early, we really feel we are our way up now."

both attacked by a three-year-old female Pit Bull and a four-month-old Rottweiler/Pit Bull mix. Two Union City Public Works employees were passing by in a vehicle when they witnessed the attack and intervened. Both employees attempted to force the pit bull to let go of the terrier but it would not. One employee grabbed a shovel out of his work truck and hit the pit bull several times until it let go of its grip on the small dog. Unfortunately, the terrier died during the attack. The employees were able to tie up one dog and follow the other until they located where the dog lived. UCPD Animal Control Officers, assisted by Fremont PD Animal Control, took both dogs into custody and they are currently quarantined at the Tri-City Animal Shelter pending a “vicious dog hearing.” The case is under investigation to determine whether both animals have current vaccinations. Authorities are asking anyone with additional information in regard to this incident to please call the union City Police Department (510) 471-1365. Reference UCPD Case #110926009.

Another New Haven Unified School District elementary school has joined the “800 Club” of schools meeting or exceeding the state’s goal for student achievement. Emanuele Elementary raised its Academic Performance Index by 19 points – from 781 in 2009-10 to 800 in 2010-11 – meeting the state’s target score and continuing a steady ascent over the past several years. As recently as 2007-08, Emanuele’s API was 738. Alvarado Elementary and Kitayama Elementary also made double-digit gains on the API. Alvarado improved by 17 points, to 852, and is up an impressive 111 points since 2004-05. Kitayama improved 13 points, to 841, and is up 55 points during the same six-year period. Five of the District’s seven elementary schools are now members of the “800 Club,” led by Eastin Elementary, with a score of 911, and also including Pioneer Elementary, at 839. Alvarado Middle School also is part of the “800 Club,” at 815. Conley-Caraballo High, the District’s continuation high school, also made notable gains. Although API calculations vary somewhat for small schools and con-

tinuation schools, CCHS raised its score 126 points, from 579 in 2009-10 to 705. API scores at the District’s other schools are: Hillview Crest Elementary, 759; Searles Elementary, 761; Cesar Chavez Middle, 732; James Logan High, 734. The annual API results, recently released by the California Department of Education, are scores of between 200 and 1,000 assigned to all schools and districts in the state, based on the results of standardized tests taken each spring. A minimum score of 710 is required to meet federal accountability guidelines. All New Haven schools are well above the federal accountability level; however the District still is in “Program Improvement” according to the federal measure known as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Despite the improvement at Emanuele and Kitayama, both schools are in “Program Improvement” for the first time, as are Searles and Cesar Chavez, joining Alvarado Elementary and Hillview Crest. “It’s clear from the state results that our District can be very proud of the improvement that’s been made over the past several years,” Superintendent Kari McVeigh said. “But the federal requirements simply continue to accelerate at an unrealistic rate, which is why so many districts are being labeled Program Improvement.

“Frankly it’s become a designation, nothing more, because unless something changes, it’s a mathematical certainty that every district in the state is going to be in Program Improvement in the next couple of years.” The District’s API score dropped slightly, from 778 to 775, but still is well above the federal minimum and still is up 44 points over the past six years. AYP scores also slipped slightly; the percentage of students scoring proficient and above is 57.7 percent (down from 57.8 percent) in English/language arts and 53.5 percent (down from 56.4 percent) in mathematics. The dip in API and AYP math numbers may be attributable to the District’s decision to increase access to advanced math courses at the secondary level, Director of Assessment and Evaluation Craig Boyan noted, explaining that fewer highperforming students were in general math and more in algebra and geometry. “Advancing these students to higher levels of math may initially result in some lower scores in the general math courses,” he said. “That should improve as adjustments are made in the future.” More information is available on the California Department of Education website (www.cde.ca.gov).

“I served as a Human Services Commissioner from 1998 to 2007 and, during that time, acted as liaison to the City of Hayward's Paratransit Committee,” said Dr. Doris Yates, Cal State University East Bay. “Having been absent from City involvement for approximately four years, I felt the need to reconnect. I’m delighted to have been given the opportunity to serve again and look forward to fulfilling the role of Personnel Commissioner.”

SUBMITTED BY KELLY HAYES Behind a pair of dominant performances from Katie Allen and Samantha Bruno, the Cal State East Bay volleyball team posted its first sweep of the CCAA season with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-14) victory over Cal State Monterey Bay on Tuesday, September 27. The Pioneers (8-3, 4-3 CCAA) hit at a .321 clip and out-blocked the Otters (5-6, 2-6) 9-4 to bounce back from a tough loss at SF State on Saturday night. “I really liked the passion and intensity that the team displayed this evening,” Head Coach Jim Spagle said. Allen and Bruno were quite the tandem in the front row on Tuesday, contributing 11 and 10 kills, respectively, and combining for 11 block assists. The pair committed just five attack errors, with Bruno swinging at a .500 clip on the night. Meanwhile, Kitona Offord added eight kills and posted a .615 hitting percentage, making no errors on the attack and assisting on a pair of blocks. “Kristin Neary and Danielle Stewart were outstanding, both in their set distribution as well as their backcourt defense,” Spagle said. “Our three primary passers, Leslie, Nicole and Katie, were stellar all night and Nikki Long and Samantha Bruno really came ready to play.” Setter Danielle Stewart posted a double-double, dishing out 17 assists and posting 14 digs and ran the offense well, along with Kristin Neary, who contributed 15 assists. In the back row, libero Leslie Ray led all players with 19 digs in the match and had just one reception error in 20 servereceive opportunities. Allen and Nicole Boyle also found success in serve reception, with Boyle committing one error in 11 chances and Allen posting a perfect 1.000 reception percentage with no errors in 14 attempts. “Kitona had another dominant night, and if there is any better libero in our conference than Leslie, I have not seen it,” Spagle said. As a team, the Pioneers committed just nine attack errors in 106 attempts, while holding the Otters to an .096 hitting percentage and forcing 21 attack errors. East Bay’s .321 attack percentage was a new match high, while its 42 kills on the night established a season-high for three-set matches. Melanie Lashbrook’s 11 kills and Lacee Ventura’s 10 digs led Cal State Monterey Bay. Cal State East Bay will look to continue its success this weekend when it travels to Cal State Stanislaus and Chico State for its second conference road trip. The Pioneers and Warriors are set for a 7 p.m. first serve at Fitzpatrick Arena in Turlock on Friday.

Dear EarthTalk: What is “genetic pollution” as it pertains to the bioengineering of animals, fish and plants, and what happens if they cross breed with their wild cousins? - R. Ahearn, Rome, NY Genetically modified organisms are those that have been altered by scientists to include genes from other organisms (known as transgenes) that may impart specific benefits. For instance, crop seeds that have added genes which resist the effects of herbicides can allow farmers to spray their fields liberally with herbicides to kill undesired weeds without the fear of killing their marketable crop along with them. Genetic pollution is the release into the natural environment of these altered genes, creating the risk that they might breed with wild plants or animals and spread out uncontrollably. Reports author Jeremy Rifkin in his landmark 1998 book, The Biotech Century: “Some of those releases…could wreak havoc with the planet’s biosphere, spreading destabilizing and even deadly genetic pollution across the world.” To follow through on the previous crop seed example: If herbicide-resistant, genetically engineered crops were to breed with their wild cousins, it could lead to the creation of super-weeds undeterred by control efforts. The weeds could, in turn, edge out native species and drive them to extinction, causing an overall loss of genetic diversity. According to Greenpeace, crop genetic diversity is “essential for global food security” and a lack of it can be linked to many of the major crop epidemics in human history, including the Southern corn leaf blight in the U.S. in 1970. They quote noted botanist Jack Harlan who said that genetic diversity is all that “stands between us and catastrophic starvation on a scale we can not imagine.” To track the growing problem of genetic pollution, Greenpeace International, along with GeneWatch UK, launched the GM Contamination Register in 2005 (the “GM” stands for Genetic Modification). This free online database details publicly documented incidents of contamination arising from the intentional or accidental release of genetically modified organisms into the environment as well as any accompanying negative agricultural side effects. Individuals, public interest groups and governments make use of the register to see where, when and how contamination has occurred. So far in 2011 alone more than a dozen cases of contamination—from Australia, Asia, Europe and the U.S.—have been reported in the register.

The release of genetically modified organisms into the environment threatens genetic diversity, which is essential for global food security. And a lack of genetic diversity in agriculture, says Greenpeace, can already be linked to many of the major crop epidemics in human history. Photo: Punch Stock

Gene pollution as it pertains to crops is only part of the concern. A Canadian company, AquaBounty, is seeking approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to sell genetically modified Atlantic salmon in the U.S. These fish have a growth hormone gene from Chinook salmon (native to the North Pacific) and an anti-freeze protein gene from another fish, the ocean pout (native to the Northwest Atlantic). The resulting transgenic salmon produce growth hormones all year long—not just during the warmer months like other fish—and as such reach maturity faster than their non-genetically modified counterparts. “There are concerns about the impact of GM salmon on wild salmon should it escape into rivers or the Atlantic ocean, because it could out-compete wild salmon for food, or breed with them producing offspring that may be less fit to survive,” reports GeneWatch UK. “This could have serious negative effects on declining or endangered wild salmon populations.” CONTACTS: GeneWatch UK, www.genewatch.org; Greenpeace International, www.greenpeace.org/international; GM Contamination Register, www.gmcontaminationregister.org; AquaBounty, www.aquabounty.com.
