STORY AND PHOTOS BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH Several hundred excited young students, their teachers and parents thronged to the school’s blacktop/playground area October 28 in anticipation of what has become an annual tradition for the past six years at Maloney Elementary School in Fremont - arrival of the great pumpkins!

(L to R): Teacher Sue Ellen Tomasic and Bessie Anderson

Through the efforts of second grade teacher Bessie Anderson and fourth grade teacher Sue Ellen Tomasic, nature and science converged to add an educational dimension to the experience. Once students settled down, Anderson and Tomasic took turns addressing the crowd, who upon spotting the giant pumpkins “oohed and ahhed. Tomasic explained how she had first started planting pumpkins back in 2004, after her husband ordered the “Atlantic Giant” variety of pumpkin seeds via mail order. For this year’s pumpkins, she planted seeds at the end of March. After the seed pods sprouted in continued on page 34 The three giant pumpkins INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 25.8 million American men, women and children are living with diabetes – yet as many as 7 million of those people are not aware they have the disease. Furthermore, the prevalence of this deadly disease has increased dramatically in recent years, and current estimates project that as many as one of every three American adults will have diabetes by 2050 unless people take better control of their health. “The rising incidence of diabetes is alarming,” says Dr. Prasad Katta, an endocrinologist on the medical staff at Washington Hospital. “Type 2 diabetes used to be a disease of the older generation, but we are seeing more and more Type 2 diabetes in younger people. If current trends continue, up to 33 percent of children born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes during their lifetime. This could be the first time that the life expectancy of the younger generation will be lower than that of their parents.” In diabetes, the body cannot properly convert sugar from food into energy, causing sugar levels in the blood and urine to rise. The complications of diabetes can be serious, and those complications can start very early. Most complications stem from changes in the blood ves-

“Healthy eating is a cornerstone of diabetes prevention and management,” he says. “The quantity and types of food you eat have an impact on your blood sugar. It also helps to eat smaller meals at regular intervals. You want to maintain an even level of blood sugar in the body, without large fluctuations that can result from skipping meals or eating large quantities all at once.” sels and nerves that affect various parts of the body, including the eyes, kidneys, heart and limbs. November is American Diabetes Month, and the American Diabetes Association is encouraging people to take a pledge to help fight diabetes with the campaign theme of “I Raise My Hand To Stop Diabetes.” People can take the American Diabetes Month pledge on Facebook. Information on the campaign also is available at www.stopdiabetes.com. “The most important thing for people to know is how to avoid getting diabetes in the first place, which generally requires a change of lifestyle,” Dr. Katta explains. “Some risk factors, such as family history of diabetes and race or ethnicity can’t be changed. The incidence of diabetes is considerably higher among Southeast Asians, Indians, Native Americans and Hispanics, for example. Other risk factors for diabetes, though, are behavioral. Obesity resulting from a poor diet and lack of exercise is a major risk factor for diabetes. Nearly three-quarters of the patients I treat for diabetes are overweight or obese.” Dr. Katta urges people to pay attention to their diet and to get regular exercise as a means of preventing diabetes, as well as managing diabetes if they have already developed the disease.

times a week, but preferably every day. “I jokingly tell my patients that they should exercise only on the days they eat – which of course means every day,” he says. “You need more than a 10-minute walk. You need to raise your heart rate until you can feel your heartbeat and break out in a sweat.” Dr. Katta notes that in the early stages, diabetes often produces no noticeable symptoms,

November is American Diabetes Month and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 25.8 million American men, women and children are living with diabetes – yet as many as 7 million of those people are not aware they have the disease. Washington Hospital is sponsoring a free diabetes health fair on Saturday, November 19. Visit www.whhs.com/diabetes for more information.

The nutrition guidelines for preventing and managing diabetes have evolved over the past few years, emphasizing a more balanced diet that avoids an over-reliance on proteins that can be hard on the kidneys and includes moderate amounts of foods that were once considered “forbidden.” Information about making healthy food choices can be found on the American Diabetes Association’s Web site at www.diabetes.org. As for exercise, Dr. Katta recommends 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five

but early symptoms may include frequent urination, excessive thirst and extreme hunger, especially for sugary foods. More extreme symptoms can include unexplained weight loss, extreme fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, tingling and numbness in the hands or feet, frequent bladder or vaginal yeast infections, and slow healing of cuts or bruises. “The complications and consequences of untreated diabetes can be deadly,” says Dr. Katta. “Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United

States, but that does not fully describe the problem. In many cases, diabetes is not listed as the primary cause of death, but it contributes to deaths from heart disease, kidney failure and stroke. Diabetes also is the leading cause of blindness and nontraumatic leg and foot amputations.” The financial costs of diabetes are on the rise, too. The American Diabetes Association estimates that the average medical expenditure among people with diabetes is 2.3 times higher than among those without the disease. “As of 2007, the latest year for which we have data, the total national medical cost of diabetes was $174 billion, and it’s probably more than $200 billion now,” Dr. Katta says. “We are fortunate to have many new advances in medications and treatments for diabetes. But patients and physicians still need to be more aggressive in preventing and controlling diabetes than we are now.” Washington Hospital Diabetes Health Fair Saturday, November 19 Washington Hospital physicians and diabetes educators will come together on Saturday, November 19 to help community members take control of diabetes. The free health fair will include breakfast and snack, screenings – including blood glucose, A1C and cholesterol – as well as educational booths and presentations from experts in diabetes management. A special interactive cooking demonstration will also take place. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to Noon at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditoriums, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. Visit www.whhs.com/diabetes for more information.

AP WIRE SERVICE BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP), Oct 11 - A records clerk for an Illinois sheriff's office admits she goofed when she mistakenly faxed a request to have a deputy's son's speeding ticket fixed to the local newspaper. Joann Reed tried to use a St. Clair County Sheriff's Department fax machine to send a copy of the ticket issued by Centreville police to that village's attorney, only to accidentally fire off the fax to the Belleville News-Democrat (http://bit.ly/nrcf5s) newsroom. “Dismiss this case,” read a handwritten note accompanying the three-page message signed by Reed. “The guy is the son of one of our deputies.” “Guilty.

But she insisted she falsely suggested the ticketed motorist was the son of a deputy but actually a college student she was trying to help out. She said she figured the misrepresentation would help get the ticket with a $175 fine tossed. The News-Democrat reported otherwise, saying reporters discovered the Aug. 18 ticket for going 23 miles per hour over the speed limit was issued to a deputy's son. Centreville's village attorney, Carmen Durso, said he was powerless to do anything about the ticket anyway, noting he can't dismiss violations of state law, such as speeding tickets. “I get calls like these all the time,'' he said. “I don't think it's unusual or strange.'' Sheriff Mearl Justus pledged to investigate. He said he'll “find out what it's about,'' then weigh disciplinary action. “I'll look at the whole thing. I'll take some action,” he said. The county's top prosecutor, Brendan Kelly, said his office received no request to dismiss the ticket. While declining to discuss the case specifically, “the decision to charge or dismiss rests solely with my office and that decision can't be based on who you know or who your mother is,” Kelly said. --Information from: Belleville News-Democrat, http://www.bnd.com

Animal shelter calls mechanic for cat stuck in van AP WIRE SERVICE HILLIARD, Ohio (AP), Oct 14 - A mechanic was the one doing the surgery at an Ohio animal facility when a woman drove

in with a cat stuck behind her minivan's dashboard. WBNS-TV reports (http://bit.ly/nXgnpB) the mechanic had to take apart the dash during a three-hour rescue operation Thursday in the Columbus suburb of Hilliard. Driver Nehal Dhruve (NAY'-hahl DROOV) says she hit the cat with her van and decided to take it to the local humane society. The brown and black cat wouldn't stay on the van's seat but instead hopped down and climbed up under the dashboard. Mechanic Daryl McKay cut his hands trying to free the feline, so an animal control staffer with smaller hands took over and pulled it out. Dhruve says she now wants to adopt the cat.

Goldilocks was right-- there is such a thing as "just right." Have you ever walked into someone's living room and noticed that the furniture is just too big for the room? This is an error of scale. It can happen quite easily, and I see it frequently when I look at homes. It happens because people don't take measurements before they go shopping. It happens because they decide to buy the entire living room suite of furniture, and then use it anyway, even after they realize it is just too big. It happens because people don't realize that furniture looks properly scaled in those large furniture showrooms, but is, in fact, too large for their own home. It is also possible to undersize furniture and accessories. I see this problem as well, especially when people buy large new homes with high ceilings and big rooms. All of a sudden, the furniture and accessories that filled their old living room get lost in the large new space. Scale refers to the relationship of sizes between objects. Objects that are too big or that overpower a space, or are too small and get lost in the space are said to be out of scale. For example, a delicate chair placed next to a bulky leather recliner will be out of scale. Similarly, a lamp with a large, heavy base will be out of scale if it is placed on a small end table. Some common errors of scale that I see are: Furniture that is simply too large for the room. Take measurements of the room before you shop. Be aware that certain styles appear larger than others: a sofa with heavy rolled arms and a high back will appear larger in your room than a sofa with a lower back and simple arms, even when they are the same size. Also, please resist buying more furniture than will fit in the room, even if it is a great deal. Small pieces of artwork floating high on large walls. To remedy this problem, select artwork that fits the wall size and shape. Large walls need large art arrangements; small walls need smaller pieces. If the artwork is too small, try it in a grouping with other pieces or move it to a smaller wall. Also, hang the artwork lower and closer to the furniture, always relating it to the furnishings around it. Small accessories on large mantels. If you have a large-scale fireplace and mantel, your accessories should be large as well. Small items will get lost on the shelf and make no impact. Try tall and wide ceramic vases or chunky candleholders instead of tiny knickknacks. To add height you can use a stack of books or a decorative box. If you have a large-scale piece of art hanging above the mantel, you may not need any accessories at all-- you can let the art speak for itself. What would Goldilocks say if she came to your house?

Burglary prevented by alert neighbor SUBMITTED BY LT. STEVEN PETRAKOVITZ, MILPITAS PD On October 31, at approximately 4:00 a.m., a Milpitas resident was awakened by the sound of an alarm and a barking dog. She looked out her window and saw three people jumping over the fence from the Milpitas Food Pantry lot, located at 1440 S. Main Street, towards the railroad tracks. She immediately called 9-1-1 and told Milpitas police dispatchers what she just witnessed. Within three minutes several officers were in the area searching for the individuals. Within six minutes of the initial call three people had been caught on the railroad property and detained. A fourth person tried to run and hide from officers He climbed the fence into the A1 Tool Shed business lot on S. Main Street, where he was captured by officers. All four individuals were identified as juveniles living in San Jose. Further investigation revealed that two of the suspects broke the front glass door of Jerry’s Market on S. Main Street in an attempt to burglarize the business. The alarm was activated when they broke the glass. It scared the suspects off and alerted the resident, who called police. The four juveniles were arrested for various charges including attempted burglary, conspiracy, trespassing and curfew. They were all issued citations and released to a parent or guardian. Milpitas Police credit the quick reactions of the resident with her immediately calling 9-1-1, as the main reason the suspects were captured within minutes of the crime. “We encourage everyone to call 9-1-1 as soon as they see or hear anything suspicious,” said Chief Dennis Graham. Anyone witnessing this burglary or has information regarding this burglary or other criminal activity occurring in this jurisdiction is encouraged to call the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Information can be given anonymously by calling (408) 586-2500, or via the Milpitas Police Department website at: http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/police/crime_tip.asp

Newark Police Log SUBMITTED BY CMDR. ROBERT DOUGLAS, NEWARK PD October 29 At 8:50 p.m., Officer Williams initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a mechanical violation at Thornton Avenue/Mulberry Street.

On Tuesday, November 1, Santa Clara County held the first session of a newly formed Youth Court. Announced during the 2011 State of the County Address by Supervisor Dave Cortese, President of the Board of Supervisors, the Youth Court will allow juvenile defendants to be “sentenced” by a jury of their peers. “If incarceration worked, we would not see the high levels of recidivism that occurs today,” said Supervisor Cortese. “This program focuses on restorative justice – for the victim, the defendant, and the community – to show the defendant how his or her actions affect the victim and the community. Allowing the defendants’ peers to provide the ‘sentencing,’ it has a greater impact on their understanding of the impacts of their crimes.” The idea behind the program is that youth are more likely to listen to and be held accountable by their peers than from an adult in authority. The Youth Court will target youth ages 14-17 willing to participate in the program with their family. All courtroom staff, with the exception of the judges and bailiff, will be youth volunteers from local high schools. The court sessions will be held twice monthly. For more information, contact Steven Blomquist at (408) 299-5030.

Fremont Police Chief named 1st VP SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD “I’ve known him for 20 years, and he’s been the biggest mentor of my career — and I’m not even a police officer,” McGill (Cal Chiefs Executive Director) said. “He’s the first one I turn to if I need advice. He’s a very generous and respected leader.” Chief Craig Steckler, 67, is adding another title to his already stellar resume, which goes beyond his beat and administrative work at three police agencies: first vice president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Steckler assumed his new position at IACP at the annual gathering of members of the world’s oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives. He was appointed to the organization’s executive committee in 1997. All of us at Fremont PD are very proud of Chief Steckler.

CAL FIRE and fire departments across the state are reminding residents to replace the batteries in all smoke alarms as well as their carbon monoxide (CO) alarm when they change their clocks. “We recommend changing the batteries in your smoke alarms twice a year,” said Acting State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover, CAL FIRE. “While you are spending a couple minutes to change the time on all your clocks, it’s so easy just to add an extra minute to ensure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarm all have fresh, new batteries as well.” continued on page 28

Ireland's judges lose their wigs in austerity move

SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Nov 01 - The San Francisco City Council has passed a resolution supporting the Occupy Wall Street protest movement and is urging Mayor Ed Lee to uphold the right to peaceful assembly and free speech. The council on Tuesday voted 8-3 in favor of a resolution calling on city authorities to ensure that there will be no use of force to the protesters who are demonstrating against the economic disparity between the richest 1 percent of the nation's population and the other 99 percent. Protesters have been camping out near the city's historic ferry terminal, an area frequented by thousands of tourists and commuters. The mayor and police have taken a less confrontational approach to San Francisco's encampment compared to their neighbors across the bay in Oakland, where demonstrators have been injured in violent clashes with police.

AP WIRE SERVICE DUBLIN (AP), Oct 14 - M'lord, I can see your bald patch. Hundreds of Ireland's judges abandoned their wigs for the first time in centuries Friday after the Irish Courts Service ended the rule requiring them to wear the British-style headgear. The move is designed to save the taxpayer money in debt-struck Ireland. Until now, each new judge has received a London-made, white-dyed horsehair wig that costs the state about (euro) 2,200 ($3,000) each. Ireland is voting Oct. 27 on a constitutional amendment that would give the government new power to cut judges' salaries. Irish judges have worn wigs since the mid-17th century and kept the policy after Ireland won independence from Britain in 1922.

Bank of America backs down on $5 debit card fee BY CANDICE CHOI AP PERSONAL FINANCE WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Nov 01 - Bank of America Corp. is ending its plan to charge a $5 monthly fee for debit card purchases after outraged customers threatened to take their money somewhere else. The change at the nation's second largest bank comes as customers across the U.S. mobilized to close their accounts in favor of credit unions and community banks. The outcry prompted other major banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.,

to cancel trial tests of their own debit card fees. Higher fees have become a fact of life, but this one touched a nerve because it hit so close to home; many Americans have come to rely on debit cards to manage essential expenses such as groceries and gas. There's also lingering resentment - which has surfaced in recent weeks with the Occupy Wall Street movement - over the role that banks played in the 2008 financial meltdown. Bank of America said it reversed course after listening to customers. Anne Pace, a spokeswoman for Bank of

America, declined to say whether there was a spike in account closures following the September announcement that it would start charging the fee early next year. The banks have countered by saying that efforts in the past two years to regulate the industry have forced them to raise or introduce new fees to stay profitable. That made the march to higher fees seem almost inevitable and makes the rare victory by consumers in this case even more remarkable. “When I heard about the fee, it was the last straw for me,” said Molly continued on page 28

Union support bolsters Occupy Oakland strike BY LISA LEFF ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. (AP), Nov 01 - A widely anticipated strike Wednesday by anti-Wall Street demonstrators in Oakland is expected to get a big boost from organized labor and established advocacy groups whose grievances range from school closures and waning union benefits to home foreclosures and cuts to libraries and services for the disabled. The unions representing Oakland's public school teachers, community college instructors, city government workers and University of California, Berkeley teaching assistants have endorsed the broad-based call to action that is expected to include marches, pickets outside banks and an attempt to shut down the Port of Oakland in the evening. The Alameda Labor Council, an umbrella group for AFL-CIO-affiliated

union locals, also voiced support for a citywide work and school walkout, saying it planned to host a cookout Wednesday evening at the plaza outside Oakland City Hall where demonstrators have established an encampment. At least one union, however, was unhappy with its role in the daylong actions. The city's police union published a letter Tuesday criticizing what it said was a “flip-flop” by Mayor Jean Quan on the city's Occupy Wall Street protests and questioning why the city plans to beef up its police presence at strike-related events while giving other city workers leeway to participate. “Is it the city's intention to have city employees on both sides of a skirmish line?'' the letter said. The scathing letter comes one week after police were asked to clear the protesters' encampment during an early morning raid, only to have Quan allow continued on page 35

BY BARBARA ORTUTAY AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Nov 01 - The Wall Street Journal remains the No. 1 newspaper in the U.S with average weekday circulation of 2.1 million, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Gannett Co.'s USA Today ranks second with 1.8 million, and The New York Times is third with 1.2 million on average from Monday to Friday. The latest figures, covering the six months that ended Sept. 30, were released Tuesday. The Times' circulation grew after it started charging online fees or requiring a print subscription for full access to its web-

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • How will the project be funded? The initial, $5.2 billion phase of the rail line, to run between Fresno and Bakersfield, would be funded through federal stimulus money and the sale of bonds Californians authorized at the ballot in 2008. The rest of the financing is contingent on state, federal and local money, public-private partnerships, private investment and by reinvesting money generated in the future from parts of the line. The California HighSpeed Rail Authority says it has enough

site and mobile services. That began just before the start of the latest circulation reporting period. Digital subscriptions are included in the circulation totals. The Times had the highest circulation on Sundays with 1.6 million. Neither the Journal nor USA Today publishes on Sundays. Circulation has been declining at newspapers in part because readers are shifting from printed editions to free news sources on the Web and on mobile devices. For most newspapers, digital subscriptions have not caught on. The exceptions are primarily publications with national clout. During the April-September period,

the Times had average weekday digital circulation of 380,003 and Sunday circulation of 371,933. News Corp.'s Journal had a weekday average of 537,469. The latest circulation numbers are not comparable with those from the same period last year because of new rules governing what counts as circulation. Among other things, the changes have made it easier for newspapers to lump separate editions under different titles into one total. They also allow some copies that are distributed free of charge to be tallied. Digital editions, though, were counted even before the rule changes. Compared with the October-March

period, which had the same rules as the latest period, the Times saw its circulation grow 25 percent, primarily because of the new digital policies. Many Americans opted to buy a print subscription because it comes with free digital access; others simply paid for online access. Circulation figures affect advertising rates at newspapers, which count print ads as their main source of revenue. Print ad revenue has also been falling in recent years as readers and advertisers shift to the Internet. The economic downturn has exasperated the decline. Some newspapers have seen growth in digital ad revenue, but it hasn't been enough to offset the losses in print.

money to complete the first phase of the project, by 2017. • Why have the costs risen so much from the original estimates? Critics have claimed for years that the rail board's cost projections were not realistic. Board members said Tuesday's report provides the most thorough analysis and spending projections to date. It also accounts for inflation - the $98.5 billion figure is based on 2033 dollars, when the San Francisco-Anaheim line would theoretically be finished. Additional engineering work and a longer timeframe to complete the system are some of the factors that have driven up costs. Planners say they also factored in an additional nine years in delays to account for construction or funding problems. • What's the next step? The public has 60 days to comment on the new plan. Legislative committees on high-speed rail are expected to hold hearings, but lawmakers will not vote on whether to approve selling the high-speed rail bonds until after they return in January. • How did the rail authority arrive at its ticket price?

The average fare would be $81 in non-inflation adjusted dollars for a oneway trip between Anaheim and San Francisco. The price is just more than 80 percent of current airfares between the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, a price intended to keep it competitive with air travel and vehicle travel from the Central Valley to the metropolitan areas. Actual fares would be set by a private operator within limits established by the authority. Fares would fluctuate in a way similar to airfare based on time and season of travel and how far in advance riders bought their tickets, as well as discounts for some groups. They could range from $52 for a multi-stop train ridden during off-peak hours to $123 a last-minute purchase on an express train. By comparison, a one-way fare on the Amtrak Acela high-speed rail line between Boston and Washington, D.C., costs between $160 and $266. That line is about 100 miles shorter than the planned first phase of the California rail project. How did the rail authority arrive at its ridership estimates? The authority said it used conservative assumptions in projecting a range of ridership on the high-speed rail line, based on California's population growth, the cost of other transportation and current rail ridership. For example,

the report used population growth figures 9 to 10 percent below state figures. It also accounted for the price of gasoline, airfare costs and the projected travel needs of residents. The rail line is projected to have from 7.4 million to 10.8 million riders by 2025, before the San Francisco-toAnaheim route is fully completed. By 2035, two years after the scheduled completion, the business plan projects ridership at 23 million to 34 million. That will jump to between 29.6 million and 44 million riders by 2040. • Why were rail lines to Sacramento and San Diego not included in the first phase? Extensions of the high-speed rail line to Sacramento and San Diego were always scheduled to be completed later. Is there evidence that private entities would be willing to invest up to 20 million? • It's not clear where the private investment will come from. The authority projects private investors are likely to be interested in the project once the initial Central Valley segment is completed and officials have proved it is financially viable, based on international models. Private vendors would make a capital investment and bid on the right to operate the rail line. Officials said they also could make money by selling the right continued on page 33

The Bookworm

You weren’t looking for it. No, you were searching your calendar for something else but as you flipped the pages, there it was: Christmas. It’s coming, and though the weather still says “summer,” you’ll have to start your dreaded gift list soon. And that list keeps growing, much to your chagrin. So why do you do it? If you read “The Consuming Instinct” by Gad Saad, you’ll see that the right gift – and helping your customers find it - is really a matter of DNA. Ugh, you just remembered: before Christmas comes, you’ve got three birthdays, a wedding, and a baby shower to deal with. Gad Saad says that the decision to give gifts comes from evolution. We’re wired for it; in fact, almost every decision we make winds back to consumerism. There are, he says, four Darwinian reasons for consuming: survival, reproduction, kin selection (or, relationship management), and reciprocity. And no matter what, an “infinite advertising budget” won’t change what our biology says we have to have. Evolution, for instance, makes us crave foods that are bad for us; furthermore, we’re prone to what scientists call a “variety effect.” The bigger the food variety, the more we eat – and if it’s fatty, our brains think that’s even better. This, says Saad, explains why buffets are so popular, and why there are literally hundreds of choices of breakfast cereals. Because choosing a mate is “the ultimate consumption decision,” the things we do to attract that SigO are evolutionarily instilled by gender. Men, biologically-speaking, use flash to attract females (think: peacocks). Women, on the other hand, shop for “good genes.” In both cases, says Saad, we are hierarchical and are deferential to

someone who has “kept up with the Joneses.” And that gift-giving you struggle with? If it’s courtship-based, it’s loaded with more meaning than, say, the toy you’d buy for your nephew – but gift-giving, whether event-driven or as a youscratch-my-back, I’ll-scratch-yours reciprocity is the glue that holds our Darwinian-influenced society together. So is this a business book or not? The answer is yes… and no. The copyright page says it’s about “economics.” Author Gad Saad is a professor of marketing at the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University. But “The Consuming Instinct” is too steeped in evolutionary science to be of much interest to a businessperson who needs information NOW. That doesn’t mean you should pass it up, though. Take the time to look between the lines of this book and you’ll be rewarded with delightfully droll nuggets of marketing information based in biology. Saad explains why we crave Ferraris when old beaters will get us to the same destinations. He describes the “Darwinian roots of advertising effectiveness.” And he reveals how color, frequency, and voice-over can make or break your ads. If you have time and want to add science to your business; if you need an excuse to go shopping; or if you wonder why you bother gifting the unappreciative, “The Consuming Instinct” is worth digging through. For you, it’ll be very hoho-helpful. c.2011, Prometheus Books $25.00 / $29.00 Canada 374 pages, includes index The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

Since Fremont is the center of the world (that’s a little joke), it is a great Bay Area base for visitors. Friends who come prepared with their own itineraries, maps and directions definitely start off on the right foot. Dwight and Michele (our excellent guides in New Orleans last year) arrived from Louisiana, though their luggage didn’t arrive with them. But they are intrepid travelers and, leaving in-

Miraculously, the missing suitcases were delivered to our door before bedtime and all was well. The next day being Labor Day, my fear of crowds made me cast a dim eye on venturing into the City, but the rest of the troops were eager so we soldiered on. First stop was Clement Street for a taste of San Francisco character, import shopping, and dim sum picnic supplies. Our stroll,

November 4, 2011

(code for walking slowly while trolling for purchases) netted us a new broom, a mortar and pestle, tee-shirts, safety pins, a sewing kit, baked goods, and roasted fowl. We could easily have been on a scavenger hunt! On to the Golden Gate Bridge, a must see for visitors and residents alike. The traffic was predictably slow, crawling over the bridge and into the Visitors’ Center parking lot. Fortunately, the slow pace made it easy to get lots of pictures, left, right, up and down. After parking, we joined the crowds walking the bridge span. Now if you’ve haven’t done this yet, be prepared – it is crowded. Two lanes of walkers move in either direction and two lanes of bike riders do the same. And really, there’s only room for one set of two-way traffic. Then there are the actual cars on one side, and the dark waters of the bay far below on your other side. Flanked by drivers, riders, walkers and water, it seemed a good time to panic, but there’s no room and no one will really care, so move on. The bikers ring their bells and shout “Behind you!” and I feel free to shout back “Ahead of you!” Notwithstanding all the sturm und drang of the bridge walk, though, it is a beautiful place to be with the towers rising into the blue sky above and the clouds’ reflections floating amongst the sailboats below. Back at the Visitors’ Center we found some room on a stone bench and spread our Clement Street picnic. Soy sauce duck, sliced roast pork, fresh fruit, BBQ pork buns, and a small but dense chocolate mousse cake from Schubert’s Bakery. With the crisp breeze and the warm sun, good company and a mélange of sweet and salty tastes, you couldn’t have asked for a better

moment. One of the nicest things about the Golden Gate Visitors’ Center, besides, the view, is the public restrooms. Fairly clean and tidy, despite the number of people who use them, they are free and much appreciated. It’s a good idea to check the bridge website before your visit, as there can be construction and other delays going on. Go to http://www.goldengatebridge.org Once you’re on the western side of the Golden Gate Bridge, it would be a shame not to drive up to the Marin Headlands and see its magnificence from on high. Understanding the Golden Gate, its history and mystique, its “awesomeness” in today’s lingo, is easy to do from this windy outpost overlooking the bay. There’s a Golden Gate Facebook page too, if you want to check it out. We left full of the beauty of the place; Dwight and Michele were starting to feel the pull of California. On the way home, through the City, we detoured over to Coit Tower for another iconic stop. A little adventuring goes a long way with me, so the next day Dwight and Michele rose to the occasion and took themselves off on a tour of the Muir Woods and the Napa area. Good choice: uncomplicated driving, beautiful scenery, great tee-shirts; they arrived “back at the ranch” after dinner (no care-taking needed!)

tions for two nights. They left with an idiosyncratic assortment of gear: Trader Joe’s snacks, state-of-the-art LED flashlights, sweaters, blankets, extra pillows, flipflops and mouthwash. Our lives went on as usual, while Dwight and Michele hiked, picnic-ed, biked, and roughed it in the communal showers, flash-lighting their way to the commodes in the night. Glowing would be too tame a word to describe their faces when they returned. Happy campers, they had attended all the lectures, absorbed information, views, woodland trails, and as much national park as could be expected in their limited window. And by this time we missed them, and wanted to show off some of our favorite places. Chinatown was high on the list, but turned out to be a disastrous choice for that Saturday. The mid-autumn Chinese Moon Festival had shut down Chinatown to regular sightseers: no parking to be found, masses of people, streets closed off. Disappointment was assuaged with burritos and tacos at the Mission District’s La Taquiera, one of the best spots for south of the border quick cuisine in the city. Sunday, the last day of the visit, could have been spent doing laundry, re-packing and looking at all the pictures taken over the week. But no – we all set off to Pt.

Bank of America backs down on $5 debit card fee

continued from page 22

Katchpole, whose online petition urging Bank of America to drop the debit fee captured more than 300,000 signatures. “I'm living paycheck to paycheck and one more fee was just too much.” Katchpole said she already closed her account and moved her money to a community bank. She said Bank of America's decision won't win her back. Bank of America is dealing with other troubles, including the potential for large mortgage-related settlements to drain its capital and plans to cut 30,000 jobs to reduce expenses. Last quarter, the company lost its standing as the nation's largest bank by deposits to Chase. The news of the debit card fee meanwhile drew criticism from even President Barack Obama and sparked a movement called “Bank Transfer Day” that urged customers to close their accounts by this Saturday. Bank of America's announcement that it would start charging customers a monthly debit card fee came without any testing in the marketplace. Pace, Bank of America's spokeswoman, said the decision was based on internal customer surveys. She declined to detail the nature of those surveys. In rolling out unwelcome changes, banks have largely blamed a new law, which went into effect last month, that caps the amount banks can charge merchants whenever customers swipe their debit cards. JPMorgan has said it would lose $300 million each quarter as a result of the regulation; Wells Fargo said it would lose $250 million a quarter. For now, Bank of America said it doesn't have any new fee hikes in the works to make up the lost revenue. “We will continue to initiate moves that mitigate loss revenue,” Pace said.

Daylight Saving Ends - Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths occurred in homes without working smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms increase the change of surviving a home fire by 50 percent. For decades, firefighters have used the time change as a reminder for residents to change their smoke alarm batteries. This year, officials are adding carbon monoxide alarms to their message following a new state law requiring all single-family homes have a carbon monoxide alarm. CAL FIRE has the following tips on smoke alarms: * Test smoke alarms once a month. * Replace batteries in all smoke alarms and CO alarms twice a year. * Don’t “borrow” or remove batteries from smoke & CO alarms even temporarily. * Regularly vacuum or dust smoke & CO alarms to keep them working properly. * Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. * Don’t paint over smoke or CO alarms. * Practice family fire drills so everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm goes off.

(thankfully, both are small). Two iconic stops were mandatory on the way to the beach: Rouge et Noir Cheese Factory for sandwiches (and tee-shirts), and the Tomales Bay Oyster Co. for fresh oysters. Nothing like impressing the Louisiana folks with west coast shellfish. The day was still overcast and a little drizzly but we were not discouraged, “The sun will break through at any moment. This will burn off!” And it almost did. While we were huddled on the beach, eating our sandwiches and watching the waves foam in and out, the clouds split and re-formed, opened and closed, letting a few rays of sun come through. No one minded; we shared jackets and scarves while the dog, new to the beach, chased gulls and the surf, and everyone looked sublimely pleased to just be here. There was choice souvenir seaweed, if you were so inclined, large logs to sit on or shelter behind, and only a few fisher folk and families out on the sand. About 3 p.m., we piled back in the car and headed off, back to Pt. Reyes Station where everyone scattered as though this were the last shopping to be found in the world. Just a note – if you run across the Tara’s Organic Ice Cream stand, try some. It comes in flavors you won’t see anywhere again. I can personally vouch for the Orange Cardamom and Lemon Blueberry and you can see the rest of Tara’s flavors on the web at www.taraorganics.com. To finish the day off in style, we dined at Maya, on 2nd street in the city. The modern Mexican fare at Maya is consistently delicious; be sure to try the fresh guacamole and the Piramide de Res, a tower of grilled skirt steak and tomatoes whose taste satisfaction belies its simple description. The corn puree could almost substitute for dessert except you don’t want to miss the flan, or even the original sorbets of the day. Stopping in town for dinner is a great trick to avoid the traffic tie-ups at the day’s end in the city. Looking at the map with Dwight and Michele, we realized they had circumnavigated the Bay and had plenty of time to play and visit with us. They are the type of guests who are welcomed back and we’re glad they have a map to our house.

Making a difference at Horner Junior High ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY FAHRIA KHAN Thousands of staples littered the sidewalk at Horner Junior High on a recent Saturday. Don’t worry; they were being swept up almost as quickly as they were falling. Over a hundred students, parents, and teachers were beautifying the school as part of National Make a Difference Day on October 22. Organizers, Fahria Khan and Jackie Welch of Horner PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association), spent two months organizing an all day event to paint, plant, and clean up the school. Drab brown panels on the outside of the school were painted a more cheery blue, to match the school colors. The equally dingy brown benches were painted a lighter khaki color. Kelly Moore Paints generously donated the paint that was used and Johnathan Whiles, owner of New Life Painting Services, volunteered his precious Saturday morning with professional painting skills and expertise. Large planters that used to be full of weeds were cleaned up and planted with a variety of plants and flowers, generously donated by the local Home Depot and Lowes. And yes, dozens of students removed all the staples that covered the walls from years of flyers being stapled onto them. Furthermore, parents and local restaurants, including McDonald’s, Bronco Billy’s, Subway, Safeway, and Costco, generously donated food for the hungry volunteers. There was quite a spread of bagels, donuts, muffins, chips, cookies, drinks, sandwiches, and of course pizza. Parents, students, teachers, and Horner Junior High Principal, Steve Musto, spent all day working side by side to make this great school even better. What a transformation!

he original “Servant of Two Masters,” a 250year old Commedia dell’Arte farce, features Truffaldino, the wily servant around whom all the comic madness explodes. Oded Gross and Tracy Young’s modern twist gives a timely and youthful edginess to Servant that looks like it was ripped from today’s headlines. Ohlone College’s Theatre Department presents three weekends of “Servant of Two Masters” beginning November 4.

November 4, 2011

Carlo Goldoni’s original story depicts a hapless servant who, broke and hungry, finds himself in the service of two masters, penetrating the love lives and official affairs of two households, dodging one while narrowly averting disaster with another, and managing to outwit them all. Gross and Young’s adaptation places the Goldoni farce within a second story, that of a down-on-its-luck theatre department, struggling with budget cuts and rolling blackouts,

(broke and hungry!), struggling to tell the comic tale of Truffaldino despite all the challenges. They don’t quite “Occupy Ohlone” to make their point, but the characters will dazzle the audience with the struggles of living by their wits as their wallets fail, keeping their humor and humanity about them.

“Shark Shack actually ran out of food because of the overwhelming public support for this event. Two hundred coupon books were sold,” said City of Hayward Economic Development Manager Sean Brooks. “All the restaurants generously donated the food that visitors sampled. We hope to organize another Restaurant Walk in the future.” Mayor Michael Sweeney and council members joined the Downtown bustle and visited and thanked the 11 restaurant owners for their participation. Each establishment was presented with a memento of the occasion. “Hayward’s Downtown Area was vibrant and the restaurants full on October 20,” added Brooks. “Events like this help showcase what we have in our community to our own residents and visitors. The After School Homework Center and Leadership Hayward, which will each receive $1,350, are extremely appreciative of the support of everyone involved with the first Restaurant Walk. We hope this will be at a least an annual event, if not more frequent.”

BY CHARLEEN EARLEY I just finished moving from 1,500 square feet to 950 square feet, and let me just sum it all up for you in three words. I’m a survivor. More specifically, a relationship-survivor. I’m happy to announce, that I’m still engaged to a man who had every reason to run-don’t-walk during the last two months of pawing through box after box filled to the brim – okay more like smashed jam-packed – with what I’ve been schlepping around for the last 47 years. I affectionately call my belongings “things” and “stuff.” My problem began when I was young. Real young. Say around five-ish. I remember begging my mom not to get rid of my priceless collectibles with the strong argument of, “that’s my stuff” or, “those are my things.” Stuff like newspapers with my articles in them from 12 years ago. I had no idea newspapers – that many – weighed so much either, since I’ve always had help by strong peeps, carrying my boxes of stuff from one storage place to another. I reasoned that because those articles were not on the Internet back then, I needed to save them, the entire newspaper too, not just my 15” prose on page 7. But for what? I was a crappy writer then. Not that I’m Pulitzer-material now – close though – I realized that those clips were not going to score me a cover story in the New Yorker. I found lies in those boxes too. Neatly tucked away in box number 85, was my son’s green and yellow crocheted baby blanky, the one I had told him his dad and I “lost.” He’s 20-years-old now, and when I showed him his security blanket, he was miffed. I couldn’t blame him. White lies don’t hoard well. My claws came out like switchblades when my fiancé questioned why I needed to save 15 remote controls, over 20 surge protectors and make-up from the 80’s. I growled another strong argument of … “back off or else.” Thoughts of becoming rich through EBay sales danced through my head. So did thoughts of stran-

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

gling my fiancé with the 30 extension cords too. I mean, what did he know? This is my life and those are my things and stuff. In the end, I made progress. I sold about a quarter of my things and stuff during three days of garage sales with his mom’s help; I threw a quarter of it away; donated a quarter of it to Goodwill; and ultimately kept the remaining must-haves-or-I’ll-die stuff. It felt good. It felt like a weight was lifted. I learned about my problem. Two months and seven Hoarder episodes later, I realized my problem was in letting go. First step, realizing you have a problem. Second step, finding very good reasons to not let go. Third step, letting go. Fourth step, hello shopping.

to install fiber optic cables on rail property in the Central Valley. The high speed rail system is envisioned as a public-private partnership. The business plan envisions state and federal governments assuming greater risk in the development phase with private companies taking on more financial responsibility as the project proceeds. • The report says the cost of building other infrastructure would be $170 billion. Where does that number come from? California's population is expected to hit 59.5 million by 2050, according to the state Department of Finance. Freeways around California's major cities already are among the most congested in the nation, and flight delays at the state's airports are above national averages. To build the equivalent passenger capacity to the 520-mile rail line, the report says would require 2,300 new miles of highways, 115 new airport gates and four new runways. It estimates that would cost about $114 billion in 2010 funds, or $171 billion when adjusted for inflation to 2033. • What is California's current bond indebtedness? As of Oct. 1, California voters had approved $150 billion in general obligation bonds, not all of which have been sold. The state still has to pay off $79.7 billion in bonds, money the state has used to pay for everything from new schools and parks to water projects and prisons. About $37 billion remain unissued, according to the state treasurer's office. Source: California High-Speed Rail Program, Draft 2012 Business Plan, California Department of Finance.

April, they were re-potted before their final journey to the soil in her yard in May. “They grow very quickly,” said Tomasic, pointing out the two truly large pumpkins recently harvested. An even more massive pumpkin, grown by Anderson and her family, was prominently displayed between Tomasic’s two. Anderson used the same “Atlantic Giant” seed variety. However, her seeds were originally obtained through Christy Harp, a math teacher from Ohio known for growing a 1,500 lb and a 1,700 lb pumpkin. Anderson’s husband Mark had contacted Harp to ask for advice on growing “Atlantic Giants” and she generously sent him some seeds. From then on, Mrs. Anderson used seeds retrieved from her own previous year’s crop for future plantings. Anderson described the pumpkin’s growing cycle to the students including references to their genetic code - DNA and the process of photosynthesis – how plants receive energy from light through their leaves. “This is an educational experience for

the students,” she says. “How often do you get to see giant pumpkins like this?” Anderson explained how her son Zander dug a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft hole in their backyard garden area for the pumpkins. Eventually, a stem appeared, followed by leaves, vines, flowers, and then a little pumpkin that grew bigger and bigger. “Once they start growing, you have to protect them from the elements, especially the sun,” said Anderson. Students chuckled when she told them that her family members placed a large umbrella over the pumpkin to protect it and help keep the pumpkin’s skin soft. (Sunlight hardens the skin, so that water can’t be absorbed. This creates the potential for a pumpkin to explode.) Obviously, for both teachers, transporting pumpkins of this size from home to the school took a tremendous amount of muscle and ingenuity. Tomasic told how her two pumpkins were put onto a dolly and then loaded onto a truck to bring them to Maloney Elementary. “We did not weigh our pump-

kins, said Tomasic, “but estimate that they are about 300 pounds for the larger one and 150 pounds for the smallest.” Anderson also delighted the crowd recounting how her husband Mark and son Zander had rolled their huge 780 pound pumpkin from the backyard through the front room and then up a ramp installed outside to load it onto the back of their truck. “This is the biggest pumpkin we’ve ever grown,” announced Mr. Anderson. To determine its weight, Mr. Anderson first drove his truck onto a large weigh scale at a nearby rock yard and recorded the number. Then when he returned with the pumpkin in his truck, he reweighed and, sub-

tracting the tare weight (without the pumpkin) from the larger gross weight (with pumpkin), determined the difference… the pumpkin’s actual weight. In addition to the pumpkin, the Andersons also grew gourds and maize (Indian corn), which were on display. In response to a student’s question about how to carve these pumpkins, it was explained that because of their size and thick skin – 12 inches or more in depth - they are not carved for Halloween. Mr. Anderson added that after the Thanksgiving holidays, when the pumpkins begin to shrivel and soften, he uses power tools to open them up. Seeds are

scooped out, dried and saved for next year’s planting. The remains are left to decompose as compost, nourishing the garden’s soil. Students are also given seeds to try growing their own pumpkins in the future, if they choose. Surprisingly, these humongous pumpkins have just the normal amount of seeds which are only slightly larger in size than those produced by normal pumpkins. “Many students don’t have gardens and don’t know where their food comes from,” said Tomasic. “This is just a wonderful experience.” Judging from the joyful expressions on the faces of all the students lined up to touch the pumpkins, they certainly agreed.

Training for the Unemployed Displaced workers need to acquire workforce skills that employers require. Currently, the displaced worker in the East Bay has limited options and resources available. This target group of people who need training services the most are impacted the most. Gibson Gates Workforce Training School (a nonprofit organization) offers unemployed individuals an affordable, realistic, eight month program. Ten different non-clinical (administrative support) healthcare certificates include various entry-level positions such as Receptionists and Billing and Coding Clerks.

Union supportbolsters Occupy Oakland strike

the protesters reclaim the plaza outside City Hall the next day by tearing down fences protecting the lawn. The raid, which was followed by a tear gas-clouded standoff with marchers that night, led to about 100 arrests and the wounding of an Iraq War veteran who received a fractured skull. His injury has helped make Oakland, and its police department, a rallying point in the national Occupy Wall Street movement. “What was last Tuesday all about? The mayor is painting us as the bad guys in all of this,'' Oakland Police Officer's Association President Sgt. Dom Arotzarena told The Associated Press. “We're going to be seen as the establishment, and it's not fair to the police, it's not fair to anyone.” “We're set to fail on this,” he added. Arotzarena said the Oct. 25 raid and street clash cost the city $1 million, and that officers are confused about Quan's stance and their marching orders heading into Wednesday. Quan said in a statement Tuesday that she hoped the strike would be peaceful and that she was working with interim Police Chief Howard Jordan to ensure that the protesters issues are “front and center.” “The pro-99 percent activists whose cause I support - will have the freedom to get their message across without the conflict that marred last week's events,” Quan said. “Although getting the balance right is never an easy task, in Oakland we are committed to honoring free speech and protecting public safety.” Karen Boyd, a city spokeswoman, said later in the day that the role of police would be “facilitating” the rolling marches and mobilizations planned for Wednesday. As Oakland has become an epicenter for the Wall Street

movement, demonstrators in other cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia said they planned to hold solidarity actions on Wednesday. Although Wednesday's event in Oakland was not scheduled with sufficient time to permit local unions to seek strike authorizations, local union representatives said Tuesday their members were being encouraged to participate by taking the day off or joining the activities after work. The staffs at two Oakland elementary schools and a small high school had decided to close their campuses for the day as of Tuesday afternoon, Oakland Education Association Secretary Steve Neat said. At least 182 school district employees, the vast majority classroom teachers, had asked to be replaced with substitutes on Wednesday, Neat said. “All of these different problems - foreclosures, schools closing, attacks on labor unions they all basically stem from the fact that the top 1 percent and corporations are never satisfied to just make profit. Their profits need to go up and up every year,” Neat said. “It's sort of a realization that a lot of people are having that we've all been fighting our own issues, but really, it's all related, it's all the same issue.” City officials also have agreed to allow “nonessential” government workers to use vacation, personal or furlough days to participate in the strike, city workers also have been told they can leave early, at 3 or 4 p.m. depending on when their days started, said Steve Stallone, a spokesman for Service Employees International Union Local 1021. “It was a discussion, but you know how the city is,” Stallone said. “On one hand, they really support this. On the other hand, they have to balance their stuff.

They came around.” In its open letter, the Oakland police union also asked demonstrators to remember that “We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many city beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.” The president and executive director of the Port of Oakland, the nation's fifth-busiest port, issued a similar plea in advance of the possible shutdown, which Occupy Oakland organizers scheduled in sympathy with longshoremen in Washington state who have been picketing a grain transport facility. “It is our privilege, indeed our right in this country, to peacefully assemble and freely express our grievances to government,” the letter signed by port President Pamela Calloway and Executive Director Omar Benjamin read. “And it is our responsibility as Oaklanders to ensure that our city is a safe and peaceful place to live and work.” The Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce released an open letter of its own in which President Joseph Haraburda expressed concern for “the mothers and children, and even grandmothers, who plan to come to Oakland to conduct their regular business” and for business owners who “must face a day of uncertainty” if they do not close for the strike. “We want to be clear, should Wednesday's planned protests go awry, someone will need to be held accountable,” Haraburda said. Associated Press writers Marcus Wohlsen and Terry Collins in Oakland, Calif., and Beth Duff-Brown in San Francisco contributed to this report.

Through its bilingual language-learning system, it employs audio, video, and interactive graphics to make Hindi learning easy and efficient. “Talking Boards” are available online to tots and parents involved in the program, where kids, as co-founder Rakhi Sharma put it, “will be able to touch, hear, and feel the graphics, so that kids of all learning-types can start to enjoy learning.” “One of the Champs of the Month: Apuroop The program Padamatinti and his proud parents, with Rakhi Sharma, Co-Founder, Cheeni-for-Tots.” started one and a half years ago when Sharma, a Harvard-trained software engineer, decided to bring her love of language learning to more people. And now, with the online version of her bilingual language-learning system, she has fulfilled her goal of “combining in-person efforts to online efforts.” Sharma is thinking of expanding to other languages. “Once I perfect the Hindi system, I am thinking of moving on to Spanish,” she says of her future aspirations. Her ways of teaching Hindi have indeed proven to be popular, not just among the tots, but among their parents as well, who attend the story-times and use the Talking Boards with their children at home. “Parents like me (who don’t know Hindi) can first learn the language from basics,” says one parent in the program. During the special Diwali session at the library, tots dressed up for the occasion, and learned about why the festival is celebrated. This special evening for the new online language system was even attended by a special guest - well known Bay Area singer Alka Bhatnagar.
