City of Newark election results November 8, 2011 (source: smartvoter.org)

A hole dug in Fremont’s Central Park still scars the landscape but according to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officials, it will be just a memory within the next 12-18 months. BART personnel spoke to the Fremont City Council November 1, 2011 to report on progress of the extension of service between the existing Fremont Station, an Irvington station, Fremont/Warm Springs and future connections to Milpitas and San Jose. BART Director Tom Blalock noted that “a lot of cooperative work” between Fremont City Council, staff, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, finance partners and BART to make this extension a reality. He called the project “a shot in the arm for the economy starting right here in the City of Fremont.” continued on page

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

ovember is Diabetes Awareness Month, and on Saturday, November 19 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, Washington Hospital’s Outpatient Diabetes Center will sponsor a free Diabetes Health Fair open to all adults in the community. This is the fourth year for this important public health event and, if you’re wondering why you should go, here are six good reasons: Reason #1: You may have diabetes or pre-diabetes and not know it. According to the American Diabetes Association, 25.8 million people in the U.S. have diabetes. That’s 8.3 percent of the population. Of those, 7 million don’t know they have it because they haven’t been diagnosed. As if that weren’t enough, 70 million more Americans have pre-diabetes, which puts them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, if they don’t learn how to manage their condition. With pre-diabetes, a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that changes the way your body uses food. Normally, the insulin your body produces helps get sugar from the Anna Mazzei, a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital, will conduct a blood to the body’s cells, where it is used for healthy cooking demonstration at the upcoming Diabetes Health Fair on Saturday, November 19. The event will also feature free screenings and exenergy. If you have diabetes, your body has pert speakers. The event begins at 8 a.m. and will be held in the Conrad E. trouble making and/or using insulin. So, your Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.

Hospital, will conduct a food demonstration focusing on healthy, convenient meals with few ingredients that are easy to prepare. Mazzei will be joined by Alfredo Macias, a chef at Washington Hospital. “We will be demonstrating and sharing recipes on how to control carbohydrates and fats in your diet,” explains Mazzei. “I’ll show you how to make recipe substitutions to create healthier meals. All of this is good for people with diabetes, but people without diabetes will also enjoy the foods we prepare. Hopefully, we will have enough for everyone to have a taste.” Reason #4: Because education is one of the keys to preventing diabetes and managing the disease, if you have it. At the Diabetes Health Fair, Grilli will speak about “Positivity: A Positive Approach to Managing Diabetes.” She has been studying and using holistic nursing for 30 years and has developed strategies to engage the mind, body and energy, or spirit, to manage the whole person. “It’s important to develop a positive mental attitude because the body is influenced and affected by the mind,” Grilli states. “I’m a firm believer that thoughts affect physical being and that education is the key to living a healthy life.” For example, research has shown that depression and diabetes seem to have a close relationship in some people, although doctors don’t know which condition causes the other. If people improve their emotional condition or create a positive mental state, this seems to have a positive effect on their health, according to Grilli. She will talk more about this helpful topic at the Health Fair. Reason #5: Many other interesting and useful services, activities and information will be available at the Diabetes Health Fair. That includes “ask the expert” sessions with an endocrinologist (a doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes) and a podiatrist who will meet with you one-onone to answer your confidential health-related questions. In addition, there will be information on nutrition and community resources, and vendors will display and talk about diabetes-related products and services. The final reason you should come to the Diabetes Health Fair: “Because Washington Hospital is committed to meeting the health education needs of our community,” says Ruth Traylor, the Hospital’s director of Community Outreach. “As people learn more, they are able to take a greater role in managing their own health.” The free Diabetes Health Fair will be held in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. To register for the event, visit www.whhs.com and click on Upcoming Health Seminars.

Local partnership raises funds for Viola Blythe center SUBMITTED BY DEBBIE CARAVALHO Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark launched their new fundraising campaign in partnership with PetersenDean Roofing and Solar Systems, Viola Blythe will receive from $250-$1000 for every roof or solar system purchased by Newark citizens depending on the purchase size. “Giving for Living is a practical way to drive funds to great community organizations like Viola Blythe,” says Jim Petersen, CEO and founder of PetersenDean Roofing and Solar Systems, “we all can’t spend the time or money like the volunteers at Viola Blythe so by participating in our fundraising program, homeowners can help others as a by-product of their purchase” Interested homeowners can help raise funds for Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark by contacting them at (510) 794-3437 or PetersenDean at (800) 564-0362. Homeowners need to be sure to mention the Viola Blythe program so funds can be donated to the Center on the homeowner’s behalf upon completion of the roof or solar system.

In June 2011, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) launched a contest challenging professional developers and hobbyists to create a mobile app to enhance the VTA travel experi-

ence. Members of the public submitted a variety of apps supported by Apple’s operating system, Google’s Android platform, or both. After carefully evaluating all contest submittals, “San Jose Transit” designed by Mr. Vashishtha Jogi was declared the winner. When asked why he entered the VTA contest, Mr. Jogi cited his interest in public transit and desire to make it easier for the public to navigate the system. “I love learning new technology and this industry plays a huge role in my desired career path,” said Jogi who completed his Masters degree in Software Engineering at San Jose State in August 2011. “I aspire to be someone who builds something useful for other people and not done by anybody else.” In recent months, VTA has introduced a number of exciting new services, including free 4G WiFi on board its light rail vehicles to improve customer’s travel experience. “Mobile apps that incorporate VTA schedules, service maps, route and fare information, as well as GPS, are especially helpful for new customers continued on page 16

VTA announces mobile app contest winner and out of town visitors who are less familiar with our system,” said Greta Helm, VTA’s Chief of External Affairs. “These apps are liberating and enable you to be more spontaneous; if your plans change when you’re out on the town, it’s easy to modify your transit trip plan on your mobile device. You don’t have to lug around a handful of maps and schedules, or call someone to find out how to get where you want to go.” “Given the prevalence of smartphones in Silicon Valley, this was a next-step for VTA. These applications underscore VTA's commitment to provide useful technology, such as on-board Wi-Fi, for our customers. Reducing the number of printed maps and schedules is also environmentally friendly, and helps VTA’s bottom line,” said VTA Board Member Rich Larsen, one of the judges in the app contest, as well as the Chair of VTA’s Revenue Enhancement Committee. Vashishtha Jogi was recognized by the VTA Board of Directors at their meeting on October 6 and received a new iPad for his impressive efforts in helping VTA promote the use of public transit.

Youth ridership increases SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF UNION CITY This school year, New Haven Unified School District (NHUSD) terminated several of its bus routes to the middle schools. Following the closure of Barnard White Middle School and the transfer of students to Cesar Chavez Middle School, Union City Transit anticipated an increase in student ridership from the Decoto neighborhood to Cesar Chavez. Working with the operations contractor, MV Transportation, internal scheduling was rearranged so that bell-time runs of Routes 2 and 4, which serve the Decoto neighborhood, complemented Routes 1A and 1B which serve the Alvarado-Niles Road corridor. These adjustments permit the schedules to remain the same while keeping children safely aboard the vehicles without having to transfer

buses. Students arrive at school approximately 15-20 minutes before the bell time. Tripper buses also run during the morning and afternoons to accommodate additional students travelling from the west side of Union City. Last year, NHUSD’s elimination of home-toschool transportation for James Logan High School added pressure to the system. So far, this school year has seen a year-on-year increase of more than 30 percent in youth ridership. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Union City Transit will conduct a Short-Range Transit Plan this winter to consider other opportunities for route changes and modifications. Unfortunately, Union City Transit cannot provide specialized service for shuttles or school bus service because of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations.

Police: Western Pa. man stole forklift, sandwich AP WIRE SERVICE PITTSBURGH (AP), A pilfered Reuben sandwich and a stolen forklift have a Pittsburgh man in quite a pickle. Ross Township police say 38-year-old Sean Faulkner ordered the sandwich from a bar, then ran out without paying and climbed on a forklift for his getaway. Faulkner allegedly stole the forklift from a construction site on Sunday then drove it two miles to Sieb's Pub. Bartender Karie Donatelli says Faulkner ordered the sandwich then bolted for the door after his food arrived. Investigators say Faulkner was still in the parking lot when officers arrived. Police say he couldn't get the forklift to go into reverse. Faulkner is being held at Allegheny County Jail on charges of theft and receiving stolen property. Court records do not list an attorney for him.

Forecast sees lower Wall Street bonuses this year AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), Nov 08 - Expect a less generous bonus season for Wall Street this year. Compensation consulting firm Johnson Associates said Tuesday that its third-quarter compensation analysis shows year-end incentives, which can be cash or equity awards, will drop an average of 20 percent to 30 percent compared with 2010. That means most Wall Street professionals will receive smaller bonuses. “This year started with great promise for a banner year on Wall Street, but hopes for larger bonuses faded over the summer and continue to dim as we approach year end,” said Alan Johnson, managing director of Johnson Associates. Bonuses last fell sharply in 2008, after the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers triggered the financial crisis. Incentives rebounded the past two years, however, as the market recovered. But this year, the combination of the lack of an economic recovery, plus heightened regulation and uncertain markets, has prompted most financial services firms to reduce the size of

bonuses, Johnson said. The firm anticipates fixed-income traders will see the biggest drop, with bonuses expected to fall up to 45 percent, while incentive pay for equities traders and senior management will drop up to 30 percent. Johnson Associates also projects investment bankers' bonuses will tumble 20 percent, while incentive payouts elsewhere in the financial services industry will be flat. For 2012, Johnson expects parts of the financial services sector will post a modest recovery. Assuming there isn't major economic weakness and a large bank or nation doesn't collapse, investment and commercial bankers could see bonuses jump 15 percent or more next year, Johnson said. He also anticipates financial services firms will continue to cut staff in the U.S., while adding employees in emerging markets. The firm's analysis is based on monitoring the financial services industry, public data from eight of the nation's largest investment and commercial banks, and 10 of the largest asset management firms.

US city occupiers, officials say protests costly BY TERRY COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, California (AP), Nov 04 - The tear gas clouds have cleared, graffiti has been scrubbed off buildings and shattered glass has been swept away. As downtown Oakland attempts to get back to normal - which for now includes a massive Occupy Wall Street tent camp in front of city hall - the costs of the protest movement on the longstruggling city are starting to come into focus. In contrast to New York's thriving island of affluence, Oakland is a tough, blue-collar town

that struggles with poverty and crime. The protests have been centered in a part of town that has been the target of economic revitalization efforts, but abandoned storefronts remain plentiful. City politicians at a chaotic five-hour meeting Thursday night focused on the price of business lost because of the weeks of protests. Downtown retailers and business leaders say customers and businesses have been scared off. One high-profile real estate developer said he stood in the lobby of his office building next to the tent camp early Thursday

morning and sent vandals at the door scattering when he racked his loaded shotgun. “We're losing 300 to 400 jobs on people who decided to not renew their leases or not to come here,” said Mayor Jean Quan, who said protesters aren't willing to talk with city officials about seeking common ground. The president of the Chamber of Commerce blames Quan for three deals falling through. Two businesses planning to lease office space and another planning to bring 100 jobs into the city pulled out after continued on page 23

US city occupiers, officials say protests costly, continued from page 22

Quan allowed protesters to return to their camp after a police raid cleared them out, Joseph Haraburda said. “We have economic development in reverse right now,”he said. Quan has paid a high political price over her handling of the Occupy encampment. From an early-morning police raid to clear the camp, to a tear gas-filled clash with protesters that night, to an about-face that has allowed the camp to grow bigger than ever, Quan has faced criticism from all sides. The cash-strapped city's response to the protests is also incurring major costs, especially in the form of police overtime. The Oakland Police Officer's Association estimates that the city will have spent about $2 million in the past two weeks on their response to the protests, which at one point included help from more than a dozen outside police forces. “Occupy Wall Street comes in, takes over the park, starts to bleed the resources of this city - re-

BY JILL LAWLESS ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON (AP), Nov 08 - A private investigator working for Rupert Murdoch's News of the World conducted surveillance on Prince William as well of dozens of politicians and celebrities, the BBC reported Tuesday. The broadcaster said private eye Derek Webb spied on the

sources that this city does not have,” said Sgt. Dom Arotzarena, the union's president. The high-crime city laid off 80 officers last year in its effort to close a recession-driven budget gap. Those hardships have not earned the police much sympathy from protesters, who have implored officers to cross the riot lines. Before Wednesday's massive turnout, Occupy Oakland had adopted several official positions, but none stating that the leaderless group was committed to nonviolence. Like anti-Wall Street encampments in other cities, the Oakland one adopts positions at evening meetings, known as a General Assembly, that are held four times a week. Among the stances taken by Occupy Oakland was one encouraging participants to use a “diversity of tactics” outside the main encampment to register dissatisfaction with the economic status quo. It noted that during confrontations with police, some

prince in 2006 while William was in Gloucestershire, western England, where his father Prince Charles has a country home. Webb told the BBC that royal protection officers ``had no idea'' about the surveillance. The newspaper's parent company, News International, said it was “not able to make any comment around the specific work carried out by Derek Webb.”

protesters might want to have calm conversations and urge officers to be nonviolent, while others might choose to express their anger by yelling, trying to remove police barriers or disrupting traffic. An early Occupy supporter whose views appear to be diverging from the group is Councilwoman Desley Brooks, who camped out with protesters early on. At the council meeting, she expressed skepticism about the camp's sustainability. “I believe and understand the lack of hope and the pain and the frustration that people are feeling,'' said Brooks as her colleagues nodded. “But I have been extremely troubled, troubled by how far do we allow your rights to go and infringe on other people's rights.” --Associated Press writers Marcus Wohlsen in San Francisco and Lisa Leff in Oakland and video journalist Haven Daley in Oakland contributed to this report. On Monday the firm acknowledged that it had spied on two lawyers who represent alleged victims of phone hacking by the News of the World. News International said the surveillance had not been illegal but was “deeply inappropriate.” William's office declined to comment on security matters. The tabloids have long had an intense interest in his private life, particularly during his bachelor years. The BBC said Webb worked for the newspaper for eight years until it was shut down in July and was paid to follow more than 100 people, most of them celebrities and politicians. continued on page 32

ARTICLE AND PHOTO BY FRANZ BRUCKNER This past weekend, theU-10 Newark Fusion won their quarter final game over the Pleasanton Rage with a stunning goal by Yesenia Guerrero in the second sudden death overtime period. After a scoreless 50 minutes, the two teams went to overtime. In the second 5-minute overtime, Guerrero took a pass from Emilee Ballard to score the winner! It was an exciting game with both teams having several opportunities to score. Veronica Bruckner and Emilee Ballard had several solid shots but unable to score. The defense led by Jazel Cruz, Anna Flores, Alexis Martinez, and goal keepers Adriana Delgado and Emilee Ballard, all played outstanding defense to keep Pleasanton scoreless. Cruz was a solid presence in the middle. The Fusion midfield played great too. Midfield was led by Francesca Buenrostro, Lauren Thorpe, Adriana Delgado, and Guerrero. It was an all around great win. Fusion will play in the semifinals on November 19, facing the Walnut Creek Edge.

STORY AND PHOTOS B JULIE GRABOWSKI

e’ve all heard of the exchange of good ideas, but how about the exchange of good food? Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont (LEAF) brought that tasty notion to reality by hosting their first food swap. The October 9 event brought out close to 20 members and their garden grown delectables to the historic California Nursery Rose Garden in Niles. Farm-to-table living has become an increasingly smart and appealing option to many, and a lot of sharing and bartering of fresh, locally grown food is happening throughout the U.S. and right here in the East Bay. Event co-organizer and self proclaimed “locavore” (one who buys organic foods, supports local growers, shops at farmers’ markets, and plants a garden) Margery Leonard researched models of swaps in Australia, Portland, Oakland, L.A. and Santa Monica, choosing ideas that were most workable for LEAF. The two-hour event was broken down into three segments: register and set up; mingle, bid, and visit; then swap. Items must be home grown or made from garden-grown in-

gredients. No money is exchanged; swapper cards are employed instead, which lists the food item and name of its donor on the front. Five available spaces are on the back of the card for bidders interested in the item to sign their names and list what they have

brought. After the options have been examined and the bids made, swappers then look at their cards and the available choices and make a swap with the person who has the food item most appealing to them. Choices, choices, indeed! Organic tomato sauce, pumpkin bread, honey, heirloom tomatoes, winter squash, lemons, organic chili sauce, a fruit tart, raspberry jam, gin-

gered pear/pluot chutney, figs, pesto, fresh French bread, and spices were all on offer. “It fits perfectly with what we’re doing today,” says Leonard of LEAF’s mission which states: “LEAF’s purpose is to provide environmental education to the Fremont community about sustained and ecological practices, including local food production and organic gardening, waste reduction, green building, and

resource conservation, and to build community among the diverse residents of Fremont, California.” It is all about like-minded people coming together to enjoy each others’ company and work toward a common good. “It’s been really exciting just to find people in the community with common interests,” says event co-organizer Mia Mora. All are welcome and encouraged to bring along their ideas. “We’re really open to projects generated by our community,” says LEAF founding board member Bruce Cates, who calls ideas “the synergy you need to make things happen.” He feels the food swap is just a small look at what could be possible for Fremont. “This is what they did hundreds of years ago and this is what we have to get back to.” The group is also trying to cultivate more membership and participation; the great benefit

of membership being the “interchange of information,” according to Cates. LEAF has over 405 members, all with various types of knowledge and experience. From gardening problems and information on growing to volunteering and finding various classes, LEAF offers many enriching options, whether for your garden or your spirit. “We love to have events, and all of us on the board are really sociable,” says founding board member Justine Burt. She says they aim to “build a robust local food economy,” but also to bring people together and build community. She calls sustainable gardening a “real and tangible” activity which she believes people are hungry for, providing opportunities for kids and adults alike to learn and discover what it takes to grow food. “It’s not rocket science,” says Burt, “but there’s a lot to it.” continued on page 27

The food swap certainly had no one going hungry, either in spirit or stomach, attendees exclaiming over the food, sharing recipes, and joking about forgetting the swap and having a banquet instead. “There were whole meals that were developed!” says Leonard of the conversations going on about the food. When asked about plans for future swaps and extending involve-

County certifies 105 green businesses

(l-r), Castro Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9601 members Michael L. Emerson, Bill Rodgers and Jim Uhlik with the display of veterans information and souvenirs they create annually at Castro Valley Library, 3600 Norbridge Avenue, Castro Valley, for Veterans Day.Visitors may view the exhibits until December 5, 2011.

“Our local businesses are the backbone of our economy; creating jobs, providing services and supporting families,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese, President of the Board of Supervisors. “It is great that these businesses take additional steps to also protect the planet for our children’s future.” From restaurants to automotive repair shops, from entire office buildings to home-based businesses, each business completes a rigorous review of its energy efficiency, recycling, water conservation and pollution-prevention practices during the certification process. Businesses complete one of 17 industry-specific checklists. Once submitted, a green business specialist from the County’s Integrated Waste Management Division conducts a walk through verifying the environmental measures the business has noted on their checklist. While each business’ needs are different, one thing remains the same: their commitment to protect the environment through green business practices. In addition to meeting the checklist standards, the County verifies that each business complies with local environmental regulations. Green Business certification is valid for three years unless a business changes location or ownership or deviates from compliance. During recertification, staff looks for continuous improvement in energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, water conservation and pollution prevention. Checklists are updated to reflect technological advances, aligning with state and local regulations and best practices. “We’re very proud of these 105 businesses that have made the effort to become Certified Green Businesses,” said Kevin O’Day, Director of the Agriculture and Environmental Management Department, which oversees the Green Business Program. “It’s especially exciting to see that so many businesses find the value of being a certified green business. That really speaks to the value of the program.” The Santa Clara County Green Business Program is part of the Bay Area Green Business Program. Partnering with local cities, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, Pacific Gas & Electric and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the Santa Clara County Green Business Program certifies businesses that demonstrate environmental stewardship and responsibility in a way that goes above and beyond what is required by local regulations. Since 1999, more than 550 businesses have been certified in Santa Clara County.

etirement is supposed to signal the start of a relaxed life—all sunshine and no schedules. Unfortunately, navigating government retirement benefits, including Social Security and Medicare, can quickly turn into a series of daunting, frustrating tasks. Last year I wrote a policy called Medicare Advantage for a client who just turned 65. In order to be eligible for a Medicare Advantage policy, he had to be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. For those of you unfamiliar with Medicare, Part A pays a significant portion of in-hospital expenses. The government provides this coverage at no charge to the person enrolling. Part B provides coverage for 80% of eligible and allowable charges for all doctor services, such as doctor visits, lab work, and therapy. Part B premiums are automatically deducted from your Social Security check, if you receive one. All citizens are eligible for Medicare at the age of 65; however, many individuals are not eligible for Social Security for another year or two. Because of the gap between the two eligibilities, how do you pay for Part B of Medicare when there is no Social Security check from which it can be deducted? The answer: write a quarterly check to the government; they bill you. My client, eligible for Medicare but not Social Security, did so. This worked well, until a check was cashed and he was simultaneously informed that it was never

received. Medicare proceeded to terminate Part B coverage for nonpayment of Part B premiums. Once it was reported that Part B coverage was terminated, the insurance carrier was notified by Medicare and immediately removed him from Medicare Advantage full and catastrophic cost protection coverage. As a result, my client went from comprehensive cost protection to having only Part A's limited inhospital benefits. He presently has no upper limit cost protection for hospital expenses, no coverage for any expenses incurred when not in a hospital, and most importantly, no prescription drug coverage. This is not an isolated case. When I called the carrier to explain, they already knew about the internal problem with the Social Security Administration (SSA). Local SSA Offices run on one computer database system, and their premium collection department records on another. Moreover, there is no means of contacting the SSA premium collection department. Even with proof of payment (cancelled checks), the problem persists. While my client has received a letter from the local Social Security Office stating that his wife's coverage has been reinstated, his issue remains unresolved. Until the carrier re-enrolls both husband and wife into their full medical coverage, they only have Part A. I understand that many think a single payor system is what is needed. Supplemental insurance policies, however, are already 100% dependent upon the government's most visible single payor system: Medicare. When communication within the system fails,

you can lose coverage, and no one is held accountable. Stay healthy. Stay tuned. Get involved. Learn what is being done to you under the cover of daylight. Your life now does indeed depend upon it.

You’re not going to do it anymore. You’re not going to haul your carcass out of bed at 5 o’dark in the morning, throw down some coffee and dash out the door so you can make it look like you slept at your desk. You’ll no longer grin til your lips ache at a co-worker you never really liked. You will not ever play office politics again. That’s because you’ve decided to open a business of your own. You’ll be your own boss from here on in - as soon as you figure out how to get started. In the new book “It’s Your Biz” by Susan Wilson Solovic (with Ellen Kadin), you’ll get useable tips from an entrepreneur who’s done it. Before you get too excited, though, first examine your motivation: are you passionate about this endeavor? Do you have a “burning desire” and the right personality to build and maintain a good business? Can you work by yourself, manage time wisely, and take responsibility? Or are you a play-it-safe kind of person who’s just looking for a way out of a bad situation? If your motivation leans toward the latter, you’ll want to re-think entrepreneurship for now. Still excited? Okay, then, take a look at your finances. It might be awhile before you get a paycheck, so Solovic recommends that you put things in order before taking the self-employment plunge. And if you’re having second-thoughts about now, she says that’s good. It shows that you’re “thinking carefully.” You might also want to consider dipping your toe in the waters by going part-time in the business you’re considering. Start slow, do research, “test drive” things first, and begin with something you know. Oh, and be careful not to burn bridges by

“stealing” time or resources from your current employer. Write a business plan and remember the “cornerstones” of business and the “seven P’s of business success.” Know your business’ purpose, your customers, and your competition. Don’t waste money on things you don’t need, but do learn to hire good employees, CPAs, and lawyers (no friends or family, please!). Above all, says Solovic, use MACS: “massive amounts of common sense.” At a time when workplaces are squeezing every possible energy molecule from the employees they have left, it’s natural to dream about being self-employed. “It’s Your Biz” might help make that dream a reality, or it might make you change your mind by sanely applying the brakes before you make a dreadful mistake. Author Susan Wilson Solovic, herself a business owner, fills her book with caveats, straight talk, reminders, and common sense that serves to winnow out the determined from the dreamers. I particularly appreciated Solovic’s thoroughness here: included in this book are points and tips that are important, but that many neophyte entrepreneurs might not have realized. I think that, if you have the passion and see a need you can profitably fill, this book will get you started on self-employment. If you’re ready to be your own boss, grab “It’s Your Biz”… and do it. c.2011, Amacom $22.95 / $25.95 Canada 227 pages

It said the targets included Angelina Jolie, Prince Harry's former girlfriend Chelsy Davy, then-Attorney General Peter Goldsmith, former soccer star Gary Lineker and the parents of ``Harry Potter'' actor Daniel Radcliffe. ``Basically I would write down what they were wearing at the time, what car they were in, who they met, the location they met, the times - the times were very important - and I would keep that,'' Webb told the BBC. That form of surveillance would not be illegal, but media intrusion has become a major issue in Britain since evidence emerged earlier this year of widespread illegal eavesdropping by the News of the World. Murdoch shut down the 168-year-old newspaper in July after it became clear that the tabloid's reporters had eavesdropped on the mobile phone voice mail messages of a missing teenage girl who was later found murdered. That touched off a storm of public criticism that shook Murdoch's media empire and sent tremors through Britain's political, police and media establishments. Several senior executives of Murdoch's News Corp. have resigned over the scandal, including former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks and ex-Wall Street Journal publisher Les Hinton. More than a dozen journalists, most of them former News of the World employees, have been arrested and questioned about phone hacking, though none has yet been charged. Dozens of people - from celebrities and politicians to the families of crime victims are suing Murdoch's News Corp. Media scrutiny is particularly sensitive when it concerns the royal family. Many people still blame the intense press interest in William's mother Princess Diana for helping contribute to her death in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Rupert Murdoch and his son James, who heads News Corp.'s international division, both denied knowing hacking was endemic at the newspaper when they appeared before a panel of British lawmakers investigating phone hacking in July. Former News Corp. employees have cast doubt on their testimony, and James Murdoch has been recalled to give evidence to the lawmakers again on Thursday.

Veterans carry an immense burden after they return from a combat zone and struggle to lead normal lives, haunted by their experiences of war. The Veterans’ Administration does a superb job of caring for returning service personnel but there are also approximately 60,000 organizations in the United States trying to meet their needs; most have limited resources, are underfunded and overwhelmed. The VeteransAid Foundation (VAF) is a national, umbrella agency that was established in 2010 to coordinate fundraising, raise awareness of the issues and solve problems facing 23 million US veterans and their families. VAF is heard through its partnerships with thousands of organizations that serve the veteran community. It serves as a fundraising platform and global social network through which the collective effort of all can help exorcise the psychological demons of war and help heal the physical scars. Everyone faces the same issues healthcare (physical and mental); housing and homelessness; education, employment and job training; family services; women’s issues and financial services - but often veterans find themselves less able to cope or know where to turn. According to official statistics, the divorce rate among enlisted families has increased by 53 percent since 2004; one in five returning veterans suffers from chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; veterans account for approximately a third of the adult homeless population. “They Stood Up for Us, Now Stand Up for Them” is VAF’s motto. Americans should care for the millions of men and women who fought for the freedoms we take for granted and who live quietly in our communities, often enduring the effects of war for a lifetime without help. Eighty-five percent of returning veterans “leave” the system but, for many, problems surface long after deployment. Twenty percent of the nation’s population consists of veterans and their families. Expecting them to cope alone merely lays the foundation

for widespread social problems. “Make Every Day Veterans Day,” says one VAF sponsor. Spectaculars, such as “VeteransAid: The Concert,” which is planned for May/June 2012 and will feature artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga, corporate sponsorship, cause marketing programs and national social movements, will help VAF achieve its annual fundraising goal of approximately $200M. These monies will be distributed to support programs and services that have a lasting benefit on the lives of veterans and promote better living conditions, financial stability, medical and psychological improvements and overall healthy individuals and families.

Teachers honored by Office Max ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY BETH CLEVELAND AND RICK LAPLANTE

cross California, 75 teachers were honored by Office Max on “A Day Made Better.” Representatives from the company visited the multiple awardees, to surprise them in their classrooms. In our region, three dedicated teachers were so honored: Betina Hsieh of Cesar Chavez Middle School in Hayward; Desirae Christoffersen of Palma Ceia Elementary School, Hayward; and Pete Quesinberry of Cesar Chavez Middle School in Union City. OfficeMax and Adopt-A-Classroom work with school principals nationwide, each year, to select and recognize 1,000 deserving teachers with an “A Day Made Better” award and $1,000 in classroom supplies donated by OfficeMax. School Principals can nominate a teacher based on 1) passion for teach-

ing, 2) innovation in the classroom; and 3) dedication to the profession and the success of their students. This award is much appreciated by teachers, as many spend roughly $1,000 out of their own pockets every school year to ensure that their students have the necessary classroom resources for learning. The recognized teachers received a digital camera, swivel chair, and large box containing essential classroom supplies – a total donation valued at $1,000. Since 2007, OfficeMax’s A Day Made Better and Adopt-AClassroom have funded more than 4,500 classrooms with more than $4.5 million in grants and school supplies, and Teacher Betina Hsieh of Cesar Chavez Middle School in Hayward helped secure funding for more than 66,000

classrooms annually through donations to Adopt-A-Classroom. Here are portions from the teachers’ nomination forms, as written by their school principals: “Ms. Hsieh is an amazing teacher. For the past ten years, she has taught math, English and history (basically, any subject we needed to fill.) She understands her students and the learning process to a degree that is exceptional. She is uncompromising in her quest for quality educational opportunities for all young people, and she engages her students in problem solving, critical thinking and a wide variety of meaningful activities. In addition, she has tremendous interpersonal skills; she is articulate and is very tactful. A few years ago, she even went as far to adopt two 2 girls who had been her students previously and needed a home.” “Desirae Christoffersen cares about her students, and as a result, her stu-

dents work very hard to meet her expectations. She treats all students and adults with respect and is a very generous person. Her students admire her because she prepares her lessons well and makes sure all of her kids receive individual attention everyday from her. This means she sacrifices her personal time to tutor them and give them the extra help that they need to succeed.” “Pete Quesinberry has always looked for challenges, and this past year he changed his grading system to allow for students to be measured for what they mastered,” Principal Solorzano said. “He also pushed students every day to learn new concepts in algebra. His pass rate was 95 percent, and he continues to execute strategies that help all learn algebra. He also opened up his classroom during his lunch to allow for interventions as well as after school.” For more information, visit: adaymadebetter.com or adoptaclassroom.org.

The initial phase of this ambitious project is the addition of 5.4 miles of new track that includes a mile-long subway beneath Central Park and a portion of Lake Elizabeth. This contract, awarded to Shimmick & Skanska (joint venture) for $137 million in 2009, is presently on schedule and within budget, approximately 75% complete. The estimated final completion date is the first quarter of 2013. Hidden from public view, much of this construction was carefully planned in advance and before tunnel construction could even begin, removal and replacement of the Central Park dog park and basketball courts was necessary; both were completed June 2010. Much of the tunnel work has now been completed including diversion of Lake Elizabeth and crossing Mission Creek. It is expected that vegetation will be restored to the area in the fall of 2012. According to Marty Oatman, BART Construction Oversight Manager and Resident Engineer for the Subway Contract, as of the meeting date, approximately 80% of the “subway box” had been completed and the entire structure is expected to be finished as of the first or second quarter of 2012. Functional ventilation shafts are part of the final step in the process. BART Project Manager of the Warm Springs Extension Paul A. Medved, P.E. spoke to the council saying, “A lot has happened since our last visit to council in May 2009.” Support of the City, staff and public has been unwavering which he

termed “amazing.” The Warm Springs Station will be an “at grade center platform station with an overhead concourse.” He added that an important consideration is to make sure an at-grade side platform Irvington Station with an overhead concourse can be added.

Previous construction of grade separations at Paseo Padre Parkway and Washington Boulevard has been a critical component of the BART extension. “It opened the door for the whole 16 miles of work being done right now plus, ultimately San Jose.” Medved ex-

plained that “one of the major reasons for the long delay in coming back to the council is that we had a lot of work to do on the funding front.” Current funding of “real money” totaling $767 million is now available from a variety of county and regional sources plus a BART agency contribution. Collection of these funds has allowed the award of a line/track/station/systems contract. A second tier of funding $123 million - consists of future monies devoted to project reserve and vehicles. He explained that a BART extension requires additional vehicles to maintain the current density of service throughout the system. A second phase of the extension project has now been awarded to Warm Springs Construction for $299 million and will involve a composite of design, construction of track and the Warm Springs Station including a parking lot as well as procurement and installation of transit systems and equipment. Station art will be developed to create a pleasing and compatible façade. Modifications of track and systems to include an Irvington Station will allow future development without excessive delay or cost if and when redevelopment funds become available for its construction. Fremont Director of Public Works Jim Pierson noted that a window of opportunity still exists to construct the Irvington Station during the contract period but construction is contingent on rulings of the Supreme Court of California as it ponders the future of redevelop-

ment agencies throughout the State. A ruling is expected in 2012. If, as is hoped, redevelopment will be allowed to continue, creation of a bond offering has already been crafted and can be marketed almost immediately. The scope of work in Fremont to complete the extension to Warm Springs includes improvements and bridge work along the future BART path. One study underway is the method of providing an overpass from the existing BART station at Walnut Avenue. Due to the extensive and multiple modes of transit at this point (pedestrian, auto, bus), the design and disruption during construction poses a difficult problem. The initial nine months of the second phase of the extension project will focus on design, documentation, pre-construction surveys and demolition. Duration of the entire contract which will eventually provide seamless connections to Warm Springs and future Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority construction of track through Milpitas and beyond to San Jose is expected to be 51 months. Revenue service to Warm Springs is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2015.

aimed at getting more college students interested in futurism, The Minnesota Daily reports (http://bit.ly/sE96QH). David Keenan, the society's president, said the group hopes to expand its ranks by using its university connections to reach out to students. Like Kubik, a few of the members also teach within varying departments at the school. Futurists visualize “possible, probable and preferable” futures and are sometimes employed by the federal government in national defense and environmental protection, Kubik said. Their methods include analyzing trends, taking surveys of experts and running simulations. Based on the current findings, the group is projecting leaps in robotic technologies, new fuel sources and computing. “We cannot make predictions. Instead, we make forecasts to discuss possible futures and how to prepare for them,” Kubik said. Studying the future requires “a great deal of expertise in many fields'' to better understand present trends and make plausible forecasts, he said. “What might the Minnesota workforce look like in 25 years?” Kubik asked, adding the university will have to consider implications of preparing students for work in a changing economy. Minnesota Futurists was founded more than 40 years ago by Earl Joseph, who died in 2007. Joseph, a university graduate and an instructor, taught futurism courses and discussed the digital revolution and medical advances long before they were realities.

Now, the university is one of only three schools nationwide offering futurism courses. The school used to offer a futurist doctorate degree, but it was cut when the Department of Educational Policy and Administration was established in 1986. But courses discussing future societies are still available to graduate students. About 120 students enroll per semester, with a University Honors Program section in the works, said Arthur Harkins, a professor at the University's Department of Organization, Policy and Development. Harkins said he thinks more students should be exposed to future studies before they get to college so they know it's out there. “Students we encounter have never thought about the future that much,” he said. Harkins' foray into futurism started with an interest in science fiction in elementary school and eventually turned into a job with the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency lunar base project. In the military, he gained a stronger interest in technology and science trends. He said he prefers a future where wars are reduced to a smaller scale minimizing civilian casualties, the global economy is drastically improved and the environment is cleaner. He would also like to see extended life expectancies, though he said that could be taxing on global resources. Kubik said new innovations rapidly changing societies and cultures are giving futurists a lot to consider. David Levinson, a civil engineering professor, teaches evolution of trans-

Page 35

Capture a holiday moment of your pet with Santa portation for the University's Department of Civil Engineering. Levinson heads the Nexus Research Group at the University, which studies the impact of technological developments on city transportation and infrastructure. Levinson said he sees a future with fully automated cars that remove human error from driving. Traffic fatalities have been declining as technology improves, he said, and the future will bring about safer commutes. He said he also sees “green cars” as luxury goods rather than a practical solution to reducing pollution and lowering energy costs. Levinson, who blogs prolifically about futurism, said mankind should leave for the stars by 2301 and “try to avoid destroying the Earth (or) solar system before then.” Personal space travel is another frequent topic of speculation. Virgin Galactic started offering $200,000 space flights recently to anyone willing to pay for a trip aboard one of its star cruisers. However, Levinson said personal space travel, while possible, is unfeasible due to cost, and he predicts it will become a niche market for the wealthy. “(The) future is becoming almost impossible to predict, and harder by the day to forecast,” Harkins said. He wants to see more imagination brought to the study of trends at the university. “There are an infinite set of possible futures,” Kubik said, adding it's important to choose the best ones. --Information from: The Minnesota Daily, http://www.mndaily.com
