athy Hebert of Fremont heads to Houston in two weeks with more than one song in her heart. She will step briskly onto center stage at the convention center, taking her place alongside three other Bay Area women, her partners in the PDQ barbershop quartet, singing a cappella at the 65th International Sweet Adelines competition, October 17-23. Before a live audience of 10,000 and a team of judges, Hebert, Leah Brooks of San Rafael, Karrie Colette of Camp-
bell, and Laura Conners of Tracy - one of the 10 female barbershop quartets in the world - hope to croon their way to distinction. Barbershop harmony first entered Hebert’s life during her senior year in high school. After college, a chance meeting with her high school coach led her back to barbershop. That was more than 20 years ago. Beyond the joy of liquid words and opportunities to perform, Hebert finds community support, a Sweet Adelines sisterhood of women who come to each other’s aid through every life transition, from births to deaths,
from crises to celebrations. During regional female barbershop quartet competition in Nevada last April, Hebert and PDQ were tapped to represent Region 12 at the international convention in Texas. An audience of 500 gave PDQ a standing ovation even before their repertoire ended. Unaccustomed to this show of emotion at a performance, Hebert was
flummoxed, then later moved since “standing o’s” as she calls them are rare in competition. Region 12, which stretches from Redding to Monterey and Hawaii to Reno, designated the group as its representative to the 64th convention in Seattle last year where PDQ placed 35th. The group formed four years ago and together represents more than a century of
singing. Brooks sings lead, or melody; Conners bass; Colette tenor, or soprano; and Hebert baritone, the “left over notes that glue the chords together.” Unabashedly Hebert reports, “I sing the best part.” Beyond the required two selections—a toe-tapping upbeat tune and a ballad—PDQ will

Walk to end global poverty
October 7, 2011
Nominate Milpitas Artist of the Year SUBMITTED BY RENEE LORENTZEN
SUBMITTED BY MS. KAUSARMOHAMMED
On October 9, over 800 participants are expected to walk to end global poverty in the third annual Partnership Walk at Central Park in Fremont. The San Francisco Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A (AKF USA) to raise awareness and funds that reduce poverty, hunger, illiteracy and poor health in Africa and Asia. The Walk features lively entertainment and activities for all ages to celebrate the diversity of world cultures. People of all different ages and cultures will come together for a show that will include dance performances, a fashion show, and creative skits. Participants help communities in some of the poorest areas of Africa and Asia to create self-help solutions to lift themselves out of poverty. Contributions make a tremendous impact in creating opportunities for girls in Afghanistan to go to school, for farmers in Mali to feed their families, and for mothers in India to lead healthy lives.

Centerville Presbyterian Church 4360 Central Ave., Fremont (510) 299-2223 (510) 574-2053 SUBMITTED BY THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION At a joint meeting on September 28, 2011, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) voted to continue the two-year-long effort to acquire and develop a piece of property into a new multi-agency Regional
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Regional agency HQ concept moves forward Agency Headquarters, with a building at 390 Main Street in San Francisco being the preferred location. In a split vote, the MTC/BATA commissioners endorsed the recommendations of an ad-hoc MTC/BATA fact-finding committee and agreed to seek the acquisition of the San Francisco property. MTC and BATA commissioners then went into closed session to discuss pricing. Sister agencies MTC and BATA are governed by the same 19 commissioners, share staff and are currently located together at the Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter, Oakland, along with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). In addition to potentially housing MTC’s and BATA’s staff, the facility in San Francisco has sufficient space to house ABAG and two other regional agencies, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). These partner agencies work closely together on several efforts, including a state-mandated initia-
tive to map out a 25-year plan for a sustainable Bay Area. In August 2011, MTC/BATA appointed the special ad hoc fact-finding committee to review legal, financial and practical aspects of the move. Consisting of the current MTC/BATA Commission chair and vice chair plus four MTC/BATA commissioners who have served in the past as Commission chairs, the ad hoc committee made a series of findings and recommendations. In separate meetings after their joint meeting, MTC and BATA also voted to form the Bay Area Headquarters Agency, a joint powers authority empowered to enter into negotiations for the 390 Main Street property and to develop it into contemporary, seismically upgraded offices with ample meeting space for the four agencies and the back-office operations of MTC’s FasTrak electronic toll-collection system and Clipper electronic fare-collection system. Part of the building would be available for lease to outside, non-governmental entities.

ard work and dedication are typically the cornerstones of any achievement, but maintaining that achievement over time can be an even greater marker of success. And this is exactly what Washington Hospitals’ Stroke Program has done. Washington Hospital—for the third time in a row—has been awarded the Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) for Primary Stroke Centers based upon a review process that takes place every two years. “Receiving this award from JCAHO is simply one more way we have demonstrated that our stroke program is among the top in the nation,” says Stroke Program Medical Director Ash Jain, M.D. “We are an American Heart Association (AHA) Certified Primary Stroke Center and our program has been designated as among the top 15 percent of leading stroke programs in the United States.” Each year, according to JCAHO, more than 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke, which represents the country’s third leading cause of death. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 45 seconds and someone else dies of a stroke every 3.1 minutes. According to the National Stroke Association, as many as 6 million stroke survivors are living in the United States today, many of them with stroke-related disabilities ranging from mildly incapacitating to sometimes requiring that

they must remain in long-term care facilities for daily care. “Our program has consistently been awarded excellence ratings from nationally recognized organizations including
the American Heart Association and HealthGrades,” Dr. Jain says. “Patients who come to Washington Hospital for treatment of stroke should know that they are receiving care
from a highly awarded facility.” JCAHO’s certification means that patients in the TriCity area have access to care that has been planned from the moment emergency medical services respond to after they leave the hospital and begin the recovery process. According to Washington Hospital’s Stroke Program Coordinator Doug Van Houten, R.N., it’s important to note that JCAHO certification is not mandatory in order for a hospital to have a stroke program. However, he points out that if a hospital operates a quality program, then logically it should be able to achieve certification, which shows the community that the program has met certain standards. Washington Hospital was the 34th hospital in California to receive the JCAHO Gold Seal of Approval in 2007. Now, every two years the program is reviewed to ensure it is still meeting or exceeding standards. “JCAHO wants to know that high standards for care are being maintained and that your data looks good and excellence in care is still in place,” Van Houten says. “It requires a lot of effort, but certification is a worthwhile process and we should continue to apply for and acquire performance awards. The public has a right to know that they’re receiving medical care from a credible facility, which is focused on delivering quality care to patients.” To make a larger impact in the community, Van Houten says his plan is to increase the program’s prevention efforts
October 7, 2011
and reduce the overall number of strokes in the community. Covering all the bases for better care Given that stroke can have such dire long-term effects on its potential victims, Washington Hospital has mobilized its entire staff, as well as local emergency responders, such as firefighters and paramedics, through educational programs and specific protocols to follow when it comes to stroke as a way to maximize outcomes and minimize stroke-related deaths and disability. To maintain its status as a Primary Stroke Center, Washington Hospital has to meet strict requirements set down by JCAHO, which include: • Building specialized stroke care units staffed by specially trained stroke nurses • Employing special order sets and making sure standard protocols were in place • Training for every employee involved in stroke care, from radiology to lab work • Developing a program for a comprehensive Community Education Series focusing on prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and life after stroke • Launching a stroke support group following patients recovery from stroke • Providing special neuroscience education to hospital staff, local emergency medical services personnel and students focusing on stroke To learn more about the Stroke Program at Washington Hospital, visit www.whhs.com, click on “Services” and select “Stroke Program” from the list.

The Course at Wente Vineyards
SUBMITTED BY GOSIA GIZYCKI The most exciting golf tournament to date, Ohlone College and Fremont Bank rounded out the 27th Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, September 26 at Wente Vineyards in Livermore. The sold-out event kicked off with a complete field of 36 teams of four participants; a total of 144 golfers. The tournament was packed with entertaining activities and prizes including longest drive, the Vegas Hole, Most Accurate Drive, multiple Hole-in-One contests featuring prizes such as a New Lexus IS250, $10,000 CD from Fremont Bank, and more. Hospitality tents from Dave
& Busters, Dale Hardware, Mass Mutual, and Grand Teton Brewery kept players refreshed on the course. The tournament was followed by dinner, wine tasting, an athletic basket raffle, and both live and silent auctions. Winding down from the tournament was “Dinner at the Vineyards,” also sold-out, with complimentary wines courtesy of Wente Vineyards. The live auction featured a chance to play golf with future LPGA star, Casie Chatrea, the second youngest qualifier in history for an LPGA tournament. Casie was also a star participant at the golf tournament as her team won first place. All proceeds from the auc-
tions and the event benefit the Ohlone College Athletic Programs. Athletes of the year Jessica Varady (Softball) and Jason Corbett (Swimming) were honored at the dinner followed by an awards presentation. Ohlone College Foundation’s Executive Director David Smith said, “The committee’s goal was to make this the best golf tournament of the fall season, and we believe we accomplished that goal. This just sets the bar higher for future events…YOWZA!” You can still bid on exciting getaways and gifts in the golf tournament online auction, with almost 100 different items to choose from at www.biddingforgood.com/ohlone.

A
mericans are under more pressure and time crunch than ever before. Many people like the idea of purchasing prescriptions online thinking that it will save them time and money. The amount of money spent on pets is approximately fifty billion annually. Prescription medications account for an increasingly bigger piece of the pie annually. Although there are some benefits to purchasing prescriptions online such as convenience, there are some major pitfalls as well. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is very concerned about online pet pharmacies and has issued a press release warning pet owners of the hazards of online pharmacies. Some of the major online pharmacies have been fined and reprimanded for not following proper procedures when dispensing online medications. Some online pharmacies are fronts for businesses that are breaking state and federal laws. According to the FDA report, pet owners should watch for the following red flags when ordering online:
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
• There is no visible address and phone number posted on the website. What happens if you have a problem? How will you receive a refund? Who do you call if your pet has a reaction? What if the product is counterfeit? Many such questions arise when pet owner’s visit such sites. • There is no licensed pharmacist on staff Who do you ask questions? Will anyone be available to discuss drug interactions or problems with your medication? Who is responsible for errors? • The website says that no prescription is needed to order medications Prescribing medications without a proper veterinary prescription is breaking the law. If they will break such an important law like this, what stops them from engaging in other illegal conduct? How do you know they will give you the right medications stored under the right conditions and purchased from the correct companies? • Site is not licensed by State Board of Pharmacy.
The state protects pet owners in case proper procedures are not followed by the pharmacy. • Prices are too low compared to other websites or your veterinarian If the prices are ridiculously low, you may want to think twice. Could the product be counterfeit or made for a foreign country? • Pharmacy is in another country What happens if anything goes wrong? Who will protect you since the state and federal laws don’t apply? Is the product the same exact one sold in the United States? Is the product stored properly? Is the product affected by international shipment. Although there are many other suggestions to consider, the aforementioned ideas are a few that I think may be the most important. Manufacturers sell directly to your veterinarians with no middlemen involved. As a result, veterinarians can offer all the warranties and guaranties
Page 9
that are void when you purchase the medications online. For example, if a pet owner purchases a popular heartworm preventative from your veterinarian, and the pet is later infected by heartworms, the manufacturer will pay for treating your pet (even if you didn’t give one pill of the medication). If your pet has a reaction or a problem with any product, most manufacturers will back up the veterinarians and will help with covering the tab for some of the costs. Compared to human medicine, veterinary medicine has been a bargain for pet owners. Selling prescription drugs allowed the veterinarian to charge smaller fees for examinations and other important services. As veterinarians lose market share from prescription medications, many will resort to gradually increasing their fees on all services. Essentially, prescription medications help subsidize fees on services. In response to online pet pharmacies, veterinarians are fighting back by providing pricing that is similar to or lower than online pet pharmacies.
Many veterinary clinics will ship or deliver your medications right to your door if you request it. Others are offering online prescription medication ordering and refills. The best defense against illegal online pet pharmacies is to become aware and informed, and to do your homework before purchasing anything online. Your pets are counting on you to protect them.

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI As the fall and winter months begin to creep in upon us with longer evenings, rainy days, and a chill in the air, there is an urge to get warm and cozy. For many this poses no big problem; there are plenty of comfy sweaters, fluffy socks, and blankets to choose from. But for some just entering the world, keeping covered and warm is an immediate and very real problem. This is the heart of nonprofit organization, Loved Twice, which collects new and gently used baby clothes 0-12 months for underprivileged newborns in the Bay Area. The project got its start in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As a new mom, Lisa Klein of Oakland was moved by an online appeal to gather clothes to send to the infant victims of the disaster. Donations kept coming even after the initial contributions were sent off. It was suggested she register as a non-profit organization and continue to collect clothes to donate to those in need in the local area. Today, Loved Twice is going strong with 100 to 150 volunteers dedicated to this compassionate enterprise. Donated clothing is separated into girl and boy boxes and then distributed through licensed social workers in hospitals, shelters, and clinics to newborns in need. Boxes are
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
prepared with enough items to clothe a baby for a full year, containing approximately 75 items sizes 0-12 months including newborn “onesies,” sleepers, booties, hats, a blanket, and books, as well as an educational new parent kit supplied by First Five California. “The babies didn’t do anything to be born into a world of poverty,” says Founder and Executive Director Klein, noting that mothers often have to choose between food or clothes for their babies. What Loved Twice does is alleviate stress for these mothers with the assurance that their precious little ones will be kept warm. Google, Southwest Airlines, Wells Fargo, and Chevron have all sponsored clothes drives, and Klein says she’s blown away by all the interest and help that Loved Twice has generated, claiming she does no outreach. “It’s crazy,” she says. “I’m amazed, quite amazed at the amount of clothes that come in.” Residents of the Tri-City area can help out when East Bay Spinal Decompression in Fremont sponsors a donation event October 10 through 14. Donations may be dropped off at their offices on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bibs, booties, hats, blankets, and socks are accepted also. Please

do not bring cribs, strollers, car seats, high chairs, or any baby furniture. As a “Thank You,” those who donate can receive discounted chiropractic services; all proceeds from these services will go to the Loved Twice organization. Those wishing to help are not limited by organized drives. There are six collection bins throughout the Bay Area, as well as “mail to” locations. Klein says people tend to save baby clothes over those from other stages in their children’s lives, many admitting they don’t know why they were saving them. As babies don’t tend to be rough on their clothes, outgrown items are in great condition, and baby clothes never really go out of style; cute yellow duckies are cute yellow duckies, no matter what the year may be. Since its inception, Loved Twice has recycled 31,000
pounds of baby clothes back into the community, provided 4,000 babies with a full year of clothes, established partnerships with over 40 Bay Area social service agencies, and received over 300,000 essential garment donations with an estimated value of $700,000. And that is just the beginning. One big goal shines above others. As all donations make their way into Klein’s basement, she hopes to obtain a small warehouse in order to expand space and access. “I can literally double what we’re doing easily,” Klein says of what a warehouse location would provide. She acknowledges that so many moms out there want to help and that so much more could be done. Despite their tremendous achievements, the need is also tremendous. “We have a waiting list of 50 Bay Area social service agencies that I can't help
right now. Maybe there is a guardian angel out there...” hopes Klein. Their success rests on three simple needs: baby clothes, volunteers to set up their own clothing drives and sorting parties, and funds in order to help more babies. What drives Klein’s passion is simply explained. “I see the need out there. I hear stories of little babies who have no clothes; they’re wearing their mom’s T-shirt, tied at the bottom so their feet don’t get cold.” Over 900,000 babies will be born into poverty in the U.S. this year. Klein considers Loved Twice a simple solution; recycling clothes to keep them out of landfills and keeping babies warm. Among honors, Loved Twice has been awarded include: 2011 Best of the Bay - Charity, 2011 National Make a Difference Day Award, 2011 Certificate of continued on page 27

HOME SALES REPORT
Bag maker sues LA County over plastic bag ban AP WIRE SERVICE LOS ANGELES (AP), Oct 04 - A plastic bags maker and four residents are suing Los Angeles County over a new ordinance that bans stores in unincorporated parts of the county from using single-use plastic bags. Lawyers for the plaintiffs say the ordinance violates Proposition 26, which classified many fees as taxes so that a twothirds majority vote is needed to change them. Last year, Los Angeles County approved a measure that bans grocers from giving customers single-use plastic bags and would require them to charge 10 cents for each paper bag. The ordinance went into effect this summer and applies to unincorporated sections of the county, home to 1.1 million people. The lawsuit was filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court by South Carolina-based bagmaker Hilex Poly Co. and four residents who purchased the bags.

There are 96 affordable rental apartment units serving low-income families in Hayward - 24 one-bedroom units (645 sq. ft.), 48 two-bedroom units (875 sq. ft.), 23 threebedroom units (1,000 sq. ft.) and one two-bedroom manager’s unit.

The additional fencing and external renovations, parts of the improvements, has made a difference,” stated a resident. “Unfortunately, sentiment about the changes varies among some of the longer-term residents.” “Eden Housing does enforce policy and this creates a stir.

utumn has arrived, and many of you are decorating for the season. In autumn we tend to gravitate toward the rich colors of nature. Just picture the reds, gold and browns of fallen leaves, and the warm, earthy colors of pumpkins, gourds, pomegranates and cranberries. You can bring fall colors into your home by changing your accessories for the season. As the weather gets chilly, think warm and cozy. Drape a soft throw blanket over the arm of your sofa, and trade the brightly colored throw pillows of summer for new pillows in dark, rich fall colors. For extra punch, add pillows in faux suede or animal prints. Along with your throw pillows, change your kitchen towels and placemats, bath towels, and possibly even your bedding. Some people like to have two bedding ensembles—one for spring in crisp, bright colors,

and one for fall in luxurious colors like mocha, cinnamon, eggplant and sage. It is fun to have a set of dishes for each season. A basic set of white dinner plates can serve as chargers for salad-sized plates in different colors and patterns. For example, how about a set of Halloween plates for fall and snowman-themed plates for winter? I have a set of pumpkin colored dishes that I bring out in the fall, and I use dark brown linen placemats and napkins with them. A friend of mine uses her white dishes at Christmas time, with colorful holiday-themed table linens and beautiful red water goblets. It is a very festive table. The space above your kitchen cabinets can be a great place to create a seasonal display. Try creating a grouping using a pumpkin, an odd number of large decorative oil bottles, a platter on a stand and some greenery. In winter, try a family of snowmen or a collection of antique children’s toys. Use wrapped boxes to add height to some of the shorter items if necessary. Decorating for fall means bringing natural elements into your home. To create a centerpiece for your dining room table, arrange pillar candles of varying heights (odd numbers are more pleasing) on a large platter, tray or cake stand. Choose candles in rich colors such as forest green, pumpkin, or paprika, or stick with ivory if it will work better with
your existing decor. Surround the candles with fall leaves from your yard, and add a trio of miniature pumpkins. Among the leaves, nestle a few shelled walnuts, pomegranates, acorns, seedpods or small pinecones. Light the candles and enjoy the glow. For a fun Halloween look, surround the pillar candles with candy corn or chocolate kisses. Another way to bring nature into your home is with bare tree branches or curly willow. Fill a floor vase with the branches, or gather an armful, bundle and tie with a beautiful wide ribbon. Place your decorated bundle on a tabletop or on your hearth. Fill a large glass container with pinecones or nuts and tuck in an arrangement of dried flowers. To bring some holiday red into your room, fill a glass cylindrical vase about onethird full with fresh cranberries. Add water, and top it with a white floating candle. Place three of these vases on your dining or coffee table for a very festive look. A word about candles: Don’t wait for a “special occasion” to actually light the candles! Every night can be made special with the glow of candlelight.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD September 30 Two auto burglaries occurred at the Starbucks at 5034 Mowry Avenue. The victims went into Starbucks after locking their vehicles, but came out to find their car had been burglarized. These cases are similar to a series occurring at that same location during the morning commute. Loss was an Iphone in one case that was left on the seat in plain view. A possible suspect vehicle was a black Lexus 400 with the last three digits on the plate being “813”. Major Crimes requested assistance at 36000 Mission Blvd. A detective from Union City saw parolee-at-large. The suspect has been wanted for months for the violation, and was on parole for manslaughter. The suspect fled back into the house when he saw police. Fortunately, the suspect surrendered a short time later. Union City PD handled the case. A suspect walked up to a male and attempted to steal his backpack. The victim refused to give it up and was punched in the face. The suspect fled as officers arrived but was detained by Officer Franchi and positively identified. The suspect was taken to jail for strong-arm robbery. Officer Snyder responded to Wal-Mart and detained two male subjects for burglary/theft. The suspects had a large empty box which they were filling with women’s perfume, purses, mouthwash and other selective items. In their vehicle, several refund receipts were located from various stores. Officer Greenberg was dispatched to Dale Hardware where employees were holding a male customer for writing multiple bad checks over the past few months. The suspect was arrested. October 1 Officers were dispatched to an in-progress shoplifting case at Walmart on Albrae St.
Upon arrival, Officer F. Smith contacted the suspect in front of the store. The suspect resisted causing injuries to Officer Smith. A foot pursuit ensued and Officer Smith and Officer B. Miller took the suspect into custody. The suspect also has three felony warrants for his arrest in Santa Clara County. Officer Smith was treated for his injuries at a local hospital and released. October 2 A victim, who had gone to SBC Liquors to buy cigarettes, reported that she was robbed. As she walked home, a male (possibly Hispanic) who smelled of alcohol, asked her for a cigarette. When she said no, he pushed her against the wall and went through her pockets. He told her he would shoot her if she said anything. He took her cigarettes and left. October 4 CSO Anders investigated a commercial burglary at Lizhou Restaurant (36456 Fremont Blvd.). The unknown suspect(s) removed a window pane from the front entry door to gain access into the building. CSO Escamilla investigated a residential burglary at 300 Grau Drive. The unknown suspect(s) entered the home via a side window and stole miscellaneous computer equipment. The homeowners have an alarm system; however, it was not activated prior to the burglary. Officer Macciola responded to an accident at Fremont Boulevard/Grimmer Boulevard. When he arrived, he found the driver, a 51-year-old male, was intoxicated; he was arrested for driving under the influence. Officer Macciola found paperwork that showed the driver had also been arrested the previous day for driving under the influence. October 5 A strong-arm robbery of a necklace and purse occurred at Fremont & Central. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male adult, 20’s mustache & goatee, last seen
getting into a beige 4 door Lexus, driven by a Black female adult. The car was last seen northbound from Centerville Junior High School. A residential burglary occurred on Newton Court. A neighbor noticed two suspects enter the home. As a perimeter was being established, Officer J. Lawrence initiated a foot pursuit of one fleeing onto the pedestrian way between Chaucer & Darwin. The suspect broke into a home on Bridgewater Court but was held at bay by the elderly resident with a chair until police arrived. The second suspect fled eastbound, jumping fences. Traffic Units quickly isolated the area and the second suspect surrendered when Romily announced the presence of a K9 on Helston Court (one street east of where he was last seen). Two adult males were arrested. A residential burglary was reported on Farwell Drive. Entry was via an open bathroom window. Loss included jewelry and electronic equipment. A residential burglary was reported on Mowry Avenue. Entry and loss unknown. A residential burglary was reported on Thornhill Place. Entry and loss unknown. Officers were dispatched to the Army National Guard Building on Civic Center Drive because the reporting party said he was in front of the business with a pistol and wanted to commit suicide. Officers contacted the subject and detained him. He advised he lied about the pistol possession. A search of the area was negative. The subject was sent for psychiatric evaluation. October 6 Officers responded to the area of Walnut Avenue/Paseo Padre Parkway on a report of a strong-armed robbery that just occurred. The suspects, two white males with black jackets, grabbed the victim’s necklace from her neck and fled toward Civic Center. The victim was not injured and the suspects are still outstanding.

New law gives time for out-of-state retailers to seek federal legislation SUBMITTED BY ANITA GORE Betty T. Yee, First District Member of the California State Board of Equalization (BOE), announced on October 3, 2011, that the BOE will cease implementation of ABx1 28, the bill signed by Governor Brown in June 2011 as part of the budget requiring tax collection by certain out-of-state retailers. The Governor has signed an alternative measure, AB 155, giving such retailers time to push for passage of federal legislation, thereby delaying requirements of the previously signed bill. The main provisions
of ABx1 28 are also included in AB 155 and will be revived at a later date. “Although e-fairness is on hold, consumers still owe use tax,” Yee said. “However, through either state law or a federal solution, online retailers will soon collect sales and use tax on the same terms as other retailers, so consumers will have their tax collected the same way on all types of purchases. We are working to implement e-fairness as soon as the law takes effect, with clear guidance to benefit consumers, retailers and the state.” If a federal law governing the imposition of use tax collec-
tion obligations by the states is not enacted on or before July 31, 2012, then the provisions of ABx1 28 that expanded the California use tax collection obligations of out-of-state retailers will again take effect September 15, 2012. If a federal approach is enacted by July 31, 2012, and California does not elect to join the federal solution by enacting conforming state legislation by September 14, 2012, then those provisions of ABx1 28 will revive effective January 1, 2013. Upon revival, the safe harbor threshold for small retailers will be $1M instead of $500,000. This provision generally requires sales into California by out-of-state retailers to exceed $1M per year before collection of tax is necessary When out-of-state retailers do not collect California tax,

California consumers remain responsible for payment of use tax on their purchases. Use tax applies generally to the same types of items that are subject to sales tax. Tax applies to the sale or use of tangible personal property in California, those items that can be seen, weighed, measured, felt or touched or which are in any other manner perceptible to the senses. Use tax is the equivalent of sales tax and has been the law since 1935. If you are not required to have a permit or a use tax account, the easiest way to report and pay the use tax is on your California state income tax return. You may also register with the BOE as a use tax payer and make the payment directly to the BOE.

BY ADAM GELLER AP NATIONAL WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Oct 04 Almost 90 minutes into his commute from the New Jersey suburbs, Michael Devaney has nearly reached his job on Wall Street. But first he threads through a sea of occupied sleeping bags, around protesters crawling from under plastic tarps in search of cigarettes and coffee, and past a sign on a pole protruding from a suitcase. “Billionaires,” it warns, “Your Time is Up!” It is 7:45 a.m., and another day in the capital of capitalism has begun. The scene has been repeated now for most of three weeks, as the regular workers of Wall Street arrive to meet protesters demanding an end to the financial system as we know it. The bankers, lawyers and others climbing from the subways,
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
briefcases in hand, seem largely unperturbed - sympathetic, even - to those who call them the enemy. Mostly, though, as the protest spreads from a Manhattan park to cities around the United States, Wall Streeters sound confused. What exactly, they ask, do the protesters want? “They definitely have a right to be here, but they don't seem to have a goal. What is it, to put Wall Street people in jail?” Devaney, who works in information technology at one of the financial district's many banks, asked Tuesday after crossing narrow Zuccotti Park on his way to the office. Devaney's uncertainty about the protesters' message is echoed by some of the protesters themselves. The Occupy Wall Street protests, which began Sept. 17, have spread this week from Los
Angeles to Chicago and other cities. Protesters have spoken out about the nation's lack of jobs, blaming President Barack Obama and members of Congress. They have criticized corporate lobbyists and employers. But they have reserved most of their criticism for Wall Street. On Monday, when protesters dressed as corporate zombies marched past the New York Stock Exchange clutching fistfuls of money, some bystanders shouted, “Get a job!” But others smiled at the street theater. “It's nice to see that people can come here and say what's on their mind. People can't do that in a lot of countries,” said Gary McFelia, a technology consultant. Many of those who work in the fabled center of American commerce say they don't take the protests personally. Some even sympathize. “It's really incredible to me, the passion and conviction
these people have,” said Lou Crossin, who works for a company that sells corporate governance research to large investors. “I don't think these are violent people. They're just standing up for their beliefs.” Crossin said the protesters with their chanting in unison, leafleting and drum circles - reminded him of the lyrics of a song from his youth by Jefferson Airplane: “Look what's happening out in the streets. Got a revolution.” He wasn't the only one to feel that way. Sam Schmidt, a criminal defense attorney who walks by the park every day, said the protests took him back to when he was a college student in 1970 and went to Washington, D.C., to oppose the war in Vietnam. “I lived through the ‘60s and the ‘70s, and this is nothing. I think it is well-behaved. We've got a few crazies, but we have a

few crazies here (in New York) anyway,'' he said. “It's just reminiscent of my youth.” Others say the protestors are misguided. Talley Leger, a former strategist at Barclays Capital, said he understands people's anger. But by lashing out at Wall Street as if it were a monolith, people are oversimplifying things. “I'm not defending bankers - I got laid off from one,'' Leger said, but he added that there's plenty of blame to go around. “Why did people take on so much (mortgage and credit card) debt when they knew they weren't going to be able to pay it back?” Just 30 feet (9 meters) away, protester Tammy Bick stood wearing a sign around her neck. “My generation will never be able to retire,'' it read. “All of our 401(k) funds were stolen from us by Wall Street & their manipulations.” continued on page 23

BY DAVID K. RANDALL AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Sep 30 - It was a stomach-churning summer that most investors would like to forget. The United States lost its top-ofthe-line credit rating for the first time. The financial system of Europe seemed ready to collapse. Money managers sifted through data for signs that the economy was about to slide into a new recession. In the financial markets, the result was the most volatile three months since the depths of the credit crisis in 2008 and 2009. Stocks had a hair trigger: On four straight days in early August, the Dow Jones industrial average swung more than 400 points. As much as investors might like to put the summer of swings behind them, analysts say they should brace for more. Even if the next corporate earnings season, in October, shows that companies are still making money, it may not be enough to calm the markets until the bigger questions about Europe are answered. Europe's debt problems are “going to continue to overshadow everything else in the market until we have a resolution,” said Stephen Auth, chief investment officer at Federated Investors.
platform for an exchange of ideas, she said. “They still don't take us seriously. I think they think it's just a little movement that's going to go away,” said Bick, who plans to help launch
The European Union is wrestling with crippling debt in a handful of nations. If those nations can't make payments, banks that hold their national bonds will suffer deep losses, and lending could tighten worldwide around the world - possibly leading to a widespread recession. For now, investors can expect ugly quarterly statements. The Standard and Poor's 500 index, the basis for most mutual funds that invest in U.S. stocks, fell 13 percent over the three months that ended in September. Riskier stocks fared even worse. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies tumbled 20 percent enough to meet the technical definition of a bear market for the first time since March 2009. Investors overlooked fundamentals of individual companies and made bets on the whole market. On more than half the trading days since Aug. 1, more than 400 of the stocks in the S&P 500 rose or fell as a group, according to Bespoke Investment Group. There have been 42 of these “all or nothing” days this year, a pace that would break the full-year record of 52, set in 2008. Perhaps the best investment over the quarter was the very thing everyone fretted about - U.S. government debt.
protests in Connecticut. “The only way to do it is to show them, to make them open their eyes.” AP writers Bernard Condon and Karen Matthews contributed to this report.
Treasury prices soared even after the S&P ratings service knocked American debt down one notch from the highest level on Aug. 5. On Sept. 23, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hit a record low, 1.71 percent. Bond yields fall when prices rise. The message: Investors valued safety over profits. With all the uncertainty, the best bet seemed to be that the U.S. government would repay its debts, even if it meant lousy returns for investors. Fears about the U.S. economy were heightened in September after the Federal Reserve said it believed that the economy has ``significant downside risks'' that will hamper a quick recovery, including high unemployment, a depressed housing market and slow growth in consumer spending. The Fed announced Sept. 21 that it would shuffle its holdings of Treasury bonds to help push down interest rates on mortgages and other long-term loans. It is hoping that cheaper money will make consumers and businesses spend more. But its bleak economic outlook sent the Dow down 675 points, or nearly 6 percent, over a two-day span. Raw materials like oil, copper and corn plunged on fears that demand would dry up. Gold shed nearly 10 percent between Sept. 19 and 23 as investors sold their holdings for cash to cover losses in other financial markets.

Ohlone stuns West Valley October 4 Ohlone @ West Valley West Valley-1 Ohlone -2 The Renegades faced West Valley on the road this afternoon and were able to come away with maximum points in a solidly battled matched. Ohlone hit the scoreboard off a direct free kick 28 yards from goal after Martin Lopez was taken down on the right side. Dominic Hertz lined up a powerful shot that pushed through the keeper’s hands and found the back of the net to put Ohlone up by one. The rest of the half Ohlone managed a huge amount of pressure, however, Daniel Gonzalez was able to hit two shots on frame again forcing keeper Matt Favela to keep two more from going in. Greivin Pacheco Quesade tickled the outside of the left post
late in the half to keep Ohlone’s pressure on, off a direct free kick from 30 yards out on the left flank. Ohlone’s defense managed the pressure and was instrumental in keeping West Valley from venturing too close. It would be a quick combination play early in half two that caught the Renegades and leveled the score as Rivera was fed from Jorge Hernandez and up the middle of Ohlone’s back like to find West Valley equal at one-one. Hector Romero and Daniel Gonzales each played a strong center midfield role upsetting the West Valley plan. However, Ohlone and West Valley legs tangled midway through the half and Ohlone's keeper, Juan Martinez was forced to face a penalty kick. Martinez came up big with the save and covered a deflected second shot as well which could
not be finalized by West Valley. A free kick by Quesada in the final seconds of play put the lead and final goal with Ohlone breaking a long standing Ohlone loosing streak since 2005; in 2004 Ohlone managed a mere draw. "We played with intensity and focus today." said Coach Nordmo. "We have been playing well, but the breaks have not always gone our way. Today we had not just the technical and tactical end of the game our fitness and mental were strong. I believe we have turned a corner; we are playing better and better. Martinez was big in goal and our entire starting eleven and bench were into the game." The coaching staff acknowledged play by Keeper Martinez, Dominic Hertz, Jonathan Santillan and Greivin Pacheco Quesada.
Ohlone men’s soccer squad loses and settles for a draw SUBMITTED BY COACH JAN ERIC NORDMO October 4 Week two of conference play saw Ohlone find a point in a draw at Canada, and fall to the mighty Evergreen at home. Ohlone’s road trip was the best result at Canada in over four years. The Renegades were put down early as a quick break away in the opening minutes was not handled well on the hot fast turf in the hills of Redwood City. New starting keeper Juan Martinez was thrown under the bus in the open moments and Ohlone was down a goal. Greiven Pacheco Quesada, along with Martin Lopez and Jonathan Santillan helped mount a controlling attack and pressure was on the home side. Dominic Hertz is set up on a breakaway pass by Martin Lopez and expertly tucked the ball away to level the match ten minutes from half. But another goal late in the half by Canada all but quashed Renegade hopes of dashing a string of losses at Canada. Half two opened with new hope as the men of Ohlone found the will and strength as they had in a previous game against Chabot to mount a string of solid attacks. Greivin Pacheco Quesada found the finishing touch
from cross to again level the game at two a piece. A deserving win was not in the cards, however although a few more minutes may have produced a different result at the end of regulation time - Ohlone leveled the score and was hunting for more. Disappointment came at the end of the week when Ohlone faced its southern rivals Evergreen. A stellar first half resulted in a dead draw, with Ohlone’s best opportunity coming from a bicycle kick mounted by Quesada aka “Costa Rica,” that had to be pushed over the bar by Alan De Queiroz the keeper for Evergreen. Ohlone’s keeper Juan Martinez was top of this game in his third appearance for Ohlone with two diving outreaches keeping Evergreen at bay. Center back Raoul Chavez managed the defense with poise not seen at Ohlone’s back line in years. Despite the solid effort, injury and fatigue caused an early break down in the second half of play and Ohlone would eventually fall to three goals in a thirteen minute period.

SUBMITTED BY COACH DESIREE FASOLIS PHOTO BY A WASHINGTON HS STUDENT PARENT The championship game between Washington High School Girls Varsity Water Polo team and Alhambra High School Saturday evening held at American High School was nothing short of incredible! Twelve teams across the North Coast Section were competing in the 2011 Tri-City Polofest held this past Friday and Saturday; a crucial tournament for NCS seeding. After an astonishing ride, the Huskies came together and defeated the Bulldogs 11-10 in overtime! The game began like any other championship game, with both teams very excited and determined to become tournament champions. The Huskies had been dominating their bracket throughout the tournament, beating Granada 13-7, dominating Antioch 17-1, and Amador 13-5. Key players included Seniors Megan Ottoboni, Katelyn Clark, Erin Swardenski, Goalie Lauren Little, Samantha Steadman, Junior Katie Rodriggs and Sophomore Lauren Youhana. However, halfway into the second quarter of the championship game, a critical error on Washington’s side occurred when trying to substitute one player for another after an ejection
was called. The refs mistakenly however gave the other team possession instead of awarding a 5M penalty throw. Both teams kept playing and going into the third quarter, WHS was beating Alhambra 7-5. Just as the third quarter was about to start, the refs realized that there was a misapplication of the rules or more commonly referred to as a "correctable error" regarding the previously made call. The Alhambra coach who was affected by the correctable error was asked if he would like to go back "in time" to the point of the error, where Alhambra was ahead 4-3. In effect, all records that happened after the foul were erased; the game resumed play from the point of the error including taking the proper 5M penalty throw, which they made, making the score 5-3. From that point on, the game stayed very close; Alhambra was close to becoming champions of the tournament in the fourth quarter with the score of 10-9. Washington, however, was not going to give up until the game was over; the Huskies came back in the very last seconds of the fourth quarter, tying it up 10-10. At that point, the game went into sudden death overtime in which the first team that scores wins. Washington gave it their all in those last seconds. Senior Captain and superstar 2M Offender Megan Ottoboni, who scored 15 goals during the tournament, stole the ball from Alhambra while they were trying to run the clock down, throwing the ball to Senior and co-captain, Katelyn Clark and scoring to win the tournament 11-10! Katelyn Clark, a top scorer and instrumental player for the Huskies also scored 13 goals during the tournament. Senior and Class President, Samantha Steadman, a critical perimeter player said it best, “With the Huskies, the game is not over till it’s over. We have more heart than any team beyond NCS. We aren’t a team, we are a family.”
