WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

SUBMITTED BY DOLORES M. FERENZ For many years the historic Mission San Jose founded June 11, 1797 has offered docent-led tours to school classes and groups of over 25 people during the week. Starting Sunday, November 13, 2011, they will offer guided tours on the second Sunday of each month at 1 p.m. To reserve space on these new tours, call the Mission Gift Shop at 510-67-1797 extension 100. The tour includes the nine-room Museum which originally served as the padres’ living quarters and the 1809 church which was accurately reconstructed in 1985 at a cost of $5 million. The fee for these Sunday tours is $5 per adult and $2 per student. Children under 16 must be accompanied by at least one adult. You are asked to reserve space on the tour to assure there will be sufficient docents available to make your visit pleasurable and educational. Normal hours of operation for the Church and the Museum are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. They are closed on New Years Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The Old Mission is located at 43300 Mission Boulevard in Fremont. For more information about this jewel of Fremont’s history see our website at MissionSanJose.org.

here are those women we always hear about— models, friends of friends or neighbors—who seem to get back to their pre-baby body in eight weeks flat. The rest of us live in reality, where juggling a new baby plus the daily demands of life makes it tough to just get out the door for a walk sometimes. The good people at Washington Hospital’s Maternal/Child Education Department understand the realities of being a new mom, which is why they’re offering a unique class—Postpartum Yoga—for moms who want to get in shape and enjoy a little relaxation at the same time. The best part? You don’t even have to find a babysitter, says Karen Smith, R.N., Maternal/Child Education coordinator at Washington Hospital. “This is a great opportunity for new moms because they can incorporate the baby into the yoga practice,” she says. “A lot of times the baby just sits there quietly, but if a mom needs to take a moment, she can step away and attend to her baby’s needs. “And you don’t even have to wait for reinforcements, like your mom or significant other, to get exercise for yourself.” Relax and get into shape Smith says yoga can play a dual role—relaxation and exercise—that is particularly vital for new moms. “Yoga is not just about getting your body back in shape; it also makes you feel good,” she explains. “It’s

ach holiday season during the last 13 years, the Human Services Department has sought cash or gift card donations to bring joy to needy families and seniors being served at the Family Resource Center, Youth and Family Counseling Center, and Aging and Family Services. This year's uncertain economic times have created an even greater need to assist more families and elders than ever before. Times are very stressful these days and we know families have emergency needs all year round, not just during the holidays. So in addition to our Adopt a Family/Senior solicitation the department has developed an "Urgent Need Fund," which allows our social workers, nurses and counselors resources they can draw upon to assist families and individuals in crisis throughout the year. Such funds allow us to put a homeless person into a hotel while we negotiate a space in a shelter, provide a grocery card to a family where the father has recently lost his job, or provide transportation vouchers to a mother and child who need to get to the hospital. We also have

been able to help seniors keep their utilities on during the winter, and buy necessary medication or health care equipment such as a walker. We hope you will not only consider supporting families, children and elders with a gift certificate (i.e. Target, Safeway, Food Maxx), check or cash donations, but will also help us continue to build our Urgent Need Fund, which Human Services social workers, nurses and counselors can access year round. Patricia is a single mother putting herself through school fulltime to learn an employable trade after leaving a difficult relationship. She is supporting her three-year-old daughter and hoping to have a place of their own after working for a while and saving some money. Currently they are renting a room with a friend and feel grateful that this friend has been able to be of support. Patricia is using services at the Fremont Family Resource Center to get linked to resources. She is participating in financial counseling to get her credit history in shape and learn skills to maintain financial health. She has entered into a savcontinued on page 29

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Editor’s Note: This article was written by a group of 6th grade students from John Gomes Elementary School in Fremont. This is their first year participating in a robotics competition organized by First Lego League (FLL). For this year’s theme of “Keep the Food Safe,” participants have to program a robot to solve Food Safety missions, while doing research on a real-world problem. Students must present the research as well as an innovative solution. The East Bay Qualifier round of this competition will take place Sunday November 20, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Irvington High School in Fremont.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Are you planning to travel over the holidays? SUBMITTED BY FREMONT POLICE DEPARTMENT

n empty house is a tempting target for a burglar so make sure you do your best to have your home look occupied while you are away. Here is a list of tips to help you: The goal before you leave your home is to make it appear that someone is home! Notify your trusted neighbors that you are going to be out of town and give them your contact number. Do NOT broadcast your vacation plans over your neighborhood listserv, Twitter or Facebook (you never know who is reading the information). Ask a trusted friend or neighbor to check on your home each day. Or, even ask your trusted friend to house sit for you. Ask them to remove your mail and newspaper, turn on/off lights and put your garbage cans out (again, making it appear that business is as usual at your home). Leave a car in your driveway, or ask a neighbor to park one of their cars in your driveway. Make sure that you have installed good locks on the doors and windows and be sure to lock up before you leave. continued on page 15

Never leave a house key hidden outside of your home. If it is hidden in a pot, under the mat, beneath a rock or in a fake rock someone else may find it and enter your home while you are away. Stop all deliveries and arrange for someone to pick up your mail, newspapers, and packages. Arrange for someone to mow your lawn and maintain the yard while you are away. This keeps your home looking lived in. Place your inside lights and a radio on timers so that they go on and off, periodically in the evening hours. Hide your garbage cans out of sight. If your garbage cans are empty when everyone else’s are full, it is a sign that you are not at home. Ask a neighbor to pull them in/out on garbage day.

e have Tinkertoys in our cupboard. I’m not talking about the toy cupboard. I mean that sometimes I will pull out a bowl to put cereal in and, half asleep, pour in cornflakes and milk. I take a bite and receive 2000% of the unrecommended lifetime supply of fiber and plastic polymers. I really hate Tinkertoys in my cupboard. “Who put the tinker-toy in my cereal bowl!” I holler, as I search for my missing tooth. I really didn’t need to ask that. I knew who it was. It was a 22-month-old, little gremlin with blond hair, blue eyes, and piggy tails. She has taken a real liking to Tinkertoys. Tinkertoys in the bowls, Tinkertoys in my bed, Tinkertoys in my shoes, and Tinkertoys stuffed in the floppy drive of my computer. If I get up in the middle of the night for a

drink of water I am sure to step on a Tinkertoy and roll bruisedy, scrapity, crashity down the stairs. The last time that happened my hollering could have put any decibel meter off the scale. I woke the whole house and most of the neighbors for a half mile radius. I swore at the time I was going to take every Tinkertoy to the second hand store. But that was then. My little, blond, blue-eyed gremlin has recently been sick. We spent three days in the hospital as her temperature soared to 106 degrees. She slept in my arms as I comforted her, keeping her from pulling on the IV that was giving her the antibiotic that was fighting the terrible infection. I would put cool cloths on her forehead. I didn’t dare sleep for fear she would leave me for good. I stroked her blond hair and comforted her, wishing I could draw the sickness from her and take it upon myself.

At times exhaustion would overcome me and I would start to drift off to sleep only to wake with a start and panic as I checked on her again. The three days took their toll on me as I sat in the chair, praying, with her in my arms. Finally her fever broke and she was able to come home. Unshaven and unkempt, I carried her from our car and tucked her gently into her crib. She still didn’t want to do much and just laid there quietly holding “bankie” close. I would come home from work each day and open the cupboard hoping to see a Tinkertoy in my cereal bowl, but it wasn’t there; none in my bed, none in my shoes, none in my computer. Then one day, coming in from work, tired and hungry, I did pull out a plate and to my great joy I found a dirty, chipped, unsanitary Tinkertoy. I turned around and my little blond gremlin was poking her head around the corner. Though she was still pale, her eyes had a sparkle I hadn’t seen in a long time. I held up her Tinkertoy. She came to me and hugged my knees. She then took her Tinkertoy and toddled off, humming. You know what? I really do like Tinkertoys in my cupboard.

AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), Nov 04 - Consumers fed up with bank fees have marked Saturday as ``Bank Transfer Day.'' Even those who don't feel the need to switch may be interested in checking out their options, given the attention credit unions and smaller community banks are getting. But transferring accounts takes planning, especially for those who use services like direct deposit or automatic bill pay. Here are the steps to follow when opening a new account: 1. Research options to find a new institution that offers the services you need. Most credit unions have eligibility requirements, but they're usually not hard to meet. Find a local credit union you qualify for by visiting www.asmarterchoice.org or www.culookup.com. To find a community bank, visit the Independent Commu-

BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP RETAIL WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Nov 15 Wal-Mart got an early Christmas gift: Its strategy of offering the lowest prices and shoppers' favorite goods is starting to bear fruit just in time for the holiday shopping season. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Tuesday reported its first quarterly gain in revenue at stores opened at least a year after nine consecutive quarters of declines at its branded U.S. business. It did this by hammering its message of low prices across the store and restocking the brands and products that people care most about.

nity Bankers of America website, www.icba.org/consumer/banklocator. Online banks, which typically have lower fees and offer higher interest rates because they're not supporting branches, are another option. 2. Open an account at the new institution and deposit just enough to meet minimum balance requirements. Order checks, deposit slips and debit cards. 3. If you've signed up for paperless banking on your old accounts, print out or otherwise save any statements you might need for tax purposes or record keeping. 4. Ask your employer how quickly direct deposit can be changed over. Make sure other potential deposits, like insurance or flexible spending account reimbursements, are transferred. 5. Enter the companies and service providers you pay elec-

tronically into your new bank account. Consider sending small trial payments to each. This can also help you gauge how fast your new bank's bill pay works. 6. Transfer any automatic or recurring bill payments from the old account to the new one. Be sure to review several months of statements from your old bank to make sure you don't forget about any automatic payments; utility bills or insurance premiums may be bimonthly or quarterly. 7. Leave a small amount of cash in the old account for a few weeks to allow any outstanding items to clear. 8. Close your account at your old financial institution and make sure to obtain written confirmation that your account is closed. For more details on how to switch financial institutions, see tips from the Consumers Union at http://bit.ly/glWqfr.

That the world's largest retailer is turning a corner is a positive sign for the retail industry and the U.S. economy as a whole. Its core low-income shoppers have been particularly hard hit by joblessness and the other challenges of the nation's weak economy. The results indicate that those most hurt by the economic downturn are willing to spend if you offer them rock-bottom pricing. “The plan is working,” Mike Duke, CEO of Wal-Mart, said on Tuesday. “Customers are responding favorably.” It's been a long road for WalMart, which in recent years has been battered by a combination

of the bad economy and its own bad decisions that caused U.S. customers to flee to competitors. U.S. shoppers could no longer depend on the company for the cheapest goods because it had strayed away from offering everyday low prices on all products to just doing so on select items. Additionally, shoppers no longer viewed Wal-Mart as the place for their one-stop shopping needs as the company scaled back on plussize clothing, crafts and other popular items in an attempt to de-clutter its stores. Recently, Wal-Mart has been working to reclaim its reputation continued on page 27

ewark Soccer Club held its Graduation Cup, on Nov.5-6 at MacGregor Field, in Newark. The annual tournament is held at the end of the year for the boys and girls Under 8 division. Though scores do not count, and no standings are kept, during the regular league season, the tournament does have a scoring system. It gives the teams and players a chance to play in a tournament as well as display their talents in team play. This year's boys division had 10 teams. Wolf Pack coached by Junior Terra, Thundersharks coached by Jonathan Martell, Copperheads coached by Manny Balcitas, Tsunami coached by Tom and Cheryl Collett, America coached by Emilio Sanchez, Pumas coached by Mario Ochoa, Knuckleheads coached by Robert Fernandez, Cheetahs coached by Freddy Cartagena, Earthquakes coached by Marcello Piotti, and Fireballs coached by David Duffield. The girls division included five teams. Strikers coached by Ann Lombana, Joe Ulloa, and David Rosa, Lady Bugs coached by Paul Lambert, Cheetahs coached by Matthew Huerta, Thundergirls coached by Kenia Gutierrez, Corina Pena, and Fireflys coached by Julia Martinez. The boys’ final featured the Knuckleheads vs. Pumas. In a tightly contested match that featured both excellent attacking and defensive displays, the Pumas were able to stop a comeback bid by the Knuckleheads, with a 3-2 cham-

pionship victory. Copperheads were the 3rd place winners over Cheetahs. The girls’ final came down to the wire and had parents and spectators satisfied that this was not just a game, but a really great match. Strikers and Thun-

dergirls battled for the 40 minutes the tournament gave them to play their championship match. With the score tied 1-1 with 3 minutes left in regulation, Thundergirl forward, Kiarra Gutierrez sent a shot from straight away distance that just went over the Strikers goalkeepers hands. The shot, was so well placed, that it had the Thundergirls coaches, team, and parents cheering on the sidelines, amazed at the goal they had just witnessed. Gutierrez had the best goal of the entire tournament. The Thundergirls won by the score 2-1 and were

awarded First Place Champions, though the Strikers put on an amazing game. The Cheetahs won the Third Place match over the Lady Bugs. Overall, it was a great weekend for soccer in Newark. All teams gave it their best, and a great finish to a great season. Special thanks are due to Silvia Ochoa, U8 Director, and Jose Arroyo, Tournament Director, for organizing the Graduation Cup. Also, thanks to all the volunteers that stepped up to referee the games. This included coaches, parents, siblings of players, and board members.

Newark Fusion closes season with victory

Newark Fire will compete for league title

The U-10 Newark Fusion completed the season with a 5-0 victory over the East Bay, Bay Oaks Sting. Emily Ballard scored two goals to lead the Fusion, while Veronica Bruckner, Yesenia Guerrero, and Jazel Cruz tallied the other three. Bruckner also chipped in with an assist of Ballard’s first goal. Fusion played a solid game all around. The defense led by goal keeper Adriana Delgado, Cruz, Anika Chakrabutry, and Ana Flores kept Bay Oaks scoreless. Midfielders Lauren Thorpe, Francescra Buenrostro, along with Guerrero and Bruckner kept constant pressure on the goal to help ensure the victory. Coaches Jaime Cruz, Rosalie Cruz, and Jose Guerrero have done an outstanding job guiding and mentoring the Fusion this past year. Fusion is back in action this weekend, when they play for their bracket State Cup Championship in Manteca.

The Newark Fire U-1 girls soccer team will be playing for the league championship Saturday when they square off against the East Bay United Bay Oakes Blues. Fire stayed in the hunt for the championship by defeating the San Ramon Azuri, 4-0. Against San Ramon, Angelique Valenzuela scored three goals to lead the Fire, with Sara Jones tallying the final goal. Rachel Bruckner assisted on two of Valenzuela’s goals to help ensure the victory. Fire’s defense, led by goal keeper Liz Mason, Sara Buffey, Trinity Castillo, Sam Ocegueda, and Isabella Garcia held Azuri scoreless. Mason made several outstanding saves to preserve the victory, while Buffey came up with several key tackles to prevent scoring opportunities. In addition to Bruckner and Jones, midfielders Aracelli Hinojosa, Natalia Sanchez, and Sarah Lagen kept constant pressure on the Azuri defense too and further provided several scoring opportunities for the Fire. Faythe Hinojosa, Deseray Grisso-Anderson Grisell, and Ariana Pereira also played well for the Fire.

Editor’s Note: Fremont resident Albert J. Vizinho recounts his life-long love of stamp collecting in this personal essay.

ational Geographic Magazine fed my fascination with this world, its peoples, countries and histories. At about age ten, stamp collecting further added to my interest and curiosity. Let me focus on my stamp-collecting hobby. My first album was one from the

1940’s with the names of countries that no longer existed as independent entities at that time: Montenegro, Croatia and the other members of the former Yugoslavia; Danzig, Tanu Tuva, Manchukuo, etc. I wondered about these places and always hoped to find stamps from these faraway places. I did acquire stamps, both by purchase and by trading, of many countries that existed then as they do today. They showed kings and queens, emperors and emirs, flora and fauna, presidents and prime ministers, monuments and mountains. What a motivation for a kid to wonder about these people, places and things!

This led to the public library to find out more about these countries and also to check out the fat stamp catalogs available. Hours were spent reading and also paging through the catalogs to see if I had any “priceless” stamps. For the most part, a three-cent stamp in my album was worth just that; but I was never discouraged. My interest in stamps continued into young adulthood. I continued saving stamps even after my interest flagged. A new door opened for me: travel. While still in college, I made my first trip to Europe with special interest in visiting Portugal, my parents’ country of origin. I had to see this country that I had heard so much about and from which I had accumulated so many postage stamps. In the years that followed, I have been able to visit many of those countries that I first learned about

from my stamp album: Brazil and most of its neighbors; Egypt, the former Tanganyika now called Tanzania, Kenya, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, India, Tibet, Bhutan, Turkey and so many other names to which I was introduced by those small pieces of paper: postage stamps. I am fortunate, despite my almost three quarters of a century, to continue to learn more about those faraway places. My wish list of places to visit seems to grow rather than diminish: Tunisia, Libya, and return visits to some of the countries that have left me wanting to experience more. Stamps have helped enrich my life, as I never imagined they could.

as the lowest-price leader by going back to the “everyday” low pricing strategy that its founder, Sam Walton, pioneered. The company, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, also has restocked thousands of popular products it got rid of, including adding items that are popular in specific regions. In Phoenix, for example, shoppers now find pool supplies and lawn and garden items year-round. Wal-Mart's strategy appears to be working. In the three-month period ended Oct. 31, Wal-Mart's U.S. namesake division's revenue at stores opened at least a year - an indicator of a retailer's health - rose 1.3 percent. That's above Wall Street estimates for a 0.3 percent increase and reverses nine straight quarters of declines in the measure, its longest streak ever. Wal-Mart said the gains were fueled by an increase in the average amount customers were spending per visit. Sales of food and health and wellness products, sporting goods, and crafts were particularly brisk. “Wal-Mart is getting its groove back,” said Brian Sozzi, an independent research analyst. “They're taking the fight back to dollar stores,

Amazon and others. They're much more aggressive.” Still, Wal-Mart's aggressive strategy comes at a cost. The retailer is lowering its prices at a time when many of its suppliers consumer products companies and others - are raising theirs to cover their rising costs for the materials they use to produce, package and transport their goods. That's eating away at its margins. In fact, Wal-Mart said that all three of its business areas - Wal-Mart U.S. division, Sam's Club and its international division - had a decline in profit margins in the three-month period ended October 31 because of the impact of its low price focus and inflationary pressures. That's in part why Wal-Mart executives are setting a cautiously optimistic tone. They know the retailer's core low-income customer is still reeling from the economic downturn, and it's likely to take ever more profit-busting incentives to keep them shopping. “Our core customer was still impacted by high unemployment and continued uncertainty over the economy, leading to declining con-

sumer confidence,'' said Bill Simon, president of Wal-Mart's U.S. division. “We believe it will be more difficult than ever to afford holiday meals for their families.” Still, Wal-Mart's U.S. namesake business is particularly important to the company because it accounts for 62 percent of its total revenue. As a result, the company is upping the ante for the holiday shopping season, a critical period for many retailers that roughly runs from November through December. Through its Christmas Price Guarantee program, shoppers who buy something at its store between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25, but find the identical product elsewhere for less, can get a gift card in the amount of the difference. Wal-Mart also offering more ways to help shoppers pay for their gifts. Wal-Mart brought back layaway for the holiday season for toys and electronics, starting Oct. 17. And its new holiday credit offer allows customers who buy gifts this month and next month interest-free financing for six months, provided they make monthly minimum payments. Additionally, the retailer is starting its Black Friday specials at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving, two hours earlier than many of its competitors like Kohl's Corp., Target Corp. and Macy's.

DAN GUNDERSON MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO NAYTAHWAUSH, Minn. (AP), Nov 04 - In the vast forests and open spaces of Minnesota, finding missing people can be expensive and time consuming, often requiring airplanes, helicopters and dozens of people. To make such searches more efficient, White Earth tribal conservation officers are learning an ancient skill called man tracking, Minnesota Public Radio reported

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

(http://bit.ly/vGWb0e). Learning to follow the tracks people leave behind can save time and money, said Al Fox, the tribe's chief conservation officer. But to do so, searchers must crouch low to the ground to read signs an untrained observer would miss, like footprints buried beneath pine needles and leaves. “If you get down in here you can actually see little details,” Fox said of clues left in the forest during a training exercise earlier this month. “Like right here. See that imprint right

there? That would be the heel strike. That would be the back of the boot.” Slowly following the trail for several yards through the woods, Fox said tracks left on the forest floor, even old ones, stay visible to the trained eye. “You'll see things like broken twigs,” he said. “These pine needles, when they're this dry and you step on them, they're going to crack, they're going to break.” Grass bruises when it's stepped on. Moss bends underfoot leaving prints much like you'd see on a thick carpet.

A short way down the trail, three people are studying the ground. They're trying to follow a two-day-old track created for a training exercise. One of the students is Steve Dahlberg, who runs extension programs at the tribal college. Dahlberg teaches a class in tracking animals. But he said tracking humans is much more intense. “You know you're training for something really important,” he said. “If you're out on wildlife sign and you lose a trail, oh well, you go on and find something else. But here there's a lot more at stake so you've got to be able to find that next track. That's what makes it challenging.” Dahlberg and several of the White Earth Conservation officers are studying with a retired border patrol agent who trains trackers across the country. Dahlberg said tracking is much more effective than the usual practice of lining up searchers and sending them into the woods. “Somebody could be on the ground between two searchers and they don't see them and the person doesn't alert them that they're there, and they can go right past, literally almost step on them and not see,” he said. “It's much more effective to actually follow the person than just flail around in the woods and hope you stumble on to them.” None of these trackers studying man tracking consider them-

selves experts yet. But the conservation officers say they use the skills often. Al Fox has helped find a woman lost in the woods. Conservation officer Sheila LaFriniere recalls a situation when police noted an abandoned car along the road near a lake. She said no one paid much attention until a fellow conservation officer and trained tracker stopped to investigate. “He was able to see there's tracks going in but there's no tracks coming back to the vehicle. So there's something not right. He's still here somewhere,” LaFriniere said. “When they broadened the search, he was still on the lake and he was dead.'' Fox is convinced trained trackers could save lives, and help solve crimes. But so far, he said, most law enforcement agencies are skeptical. Fox thinks that's because they haven't seen trackers work, and because it takes a big time investment to become an expert tracker. “This is something new that we're bringing to their attention,” he said. “It's going to be a long battle for us to show that this is more than just a hobby.” Fox plans to organize more training sessions next spring for anyone interested in learning to track people. --Information from: Minnesota Public Radio News, http://www.mpr.org

ings program to put a little money aside each month and is working with the local child care program for low-cost child care while she attends school. Patricia feels she is on the right path to getting her life back on track, but could use a Target gift card in order to make the holidays a little brighter for her little girl. Sam is a senior who had a massive stroke in his late 50s and was in a coma for many years. His wife devoted herself to Sam and surprisingly he woke up from the coma. Eventually he was able to transfer from the convalescent hospital back home. His wife continues to devote herself to her husband's care, but this year another responsibility as a caregiver was added when her mother needed to move in with them since she suffers from severe dementia. They are doing their best to enjoy life, even though it can be stressful. Sam needs a lot of supplies and many are not covered by his insurance. They have little money by the end of the month after paying all their utility bills. Sam's wife can't go back to work due to her husband and mother needing total care at home. They would really appreciate any support from the community. The family could use a gift card to Food Maxx or Safeway to have a nice holiday meal this season. Cindy is a single mother of two, and it has been a difficult year. Her husband recently died from cancer after battling the disease for many years, and she was recently laid off from her job, learning shortly afterwards that she suffers from a chronic disease which has made it more difficult for her to find work. Cindy and her children have been feeling anxious about finances, since there is uncertainty about whether she will have enough money to pay their rent (her unemployment is not enough to pay for the rent and utility bills). They have had to cut back severely on necessities such as clothing and school supplies, and there is no money for non-essential purchases. Cindy is hoping for help, since there's no money this year for a holiday dinner or gifts unless the family receives a helping hand from others in the community like you.

The Bookworm

by Jill Flynn, Kathryn Heath, and Mary Davis Holt You’ve run out of breath just running in place. For months now, you’ve been more than willing to work sixtyhour weeks. Nights and weekends are the norm and you never complained. You’ve taken classes, gotten certified, volunteered for committees, but it hasn’t seemed to matter. Your career is stalled, you’re running place, and you just can’t get ahead. So what’s holding you back? According to authors Jill Flynn, Kathryn Heath, and Mary Davis Holt, the problem might be you. In the new book “Break Your Own Rules”, they’ll tell you how to step aside and let yourself fly. When it comes to work, you might think that tooting your own horn is akin to bragging. You’ve got a responsibility to nurture the careers of those below you, right? You might believe you’re just plain lucky to have a job, period. But you’d still like to succeed and grow. In order to do that, Flynn, Heath, and Holt say that you need to learn to think differently. By doing so, you’ll be able to act differently and opportunity will follow. In this book, they’ve identified six major stumbling blocks to career advancement. Biologically, you’re hard-wired to be nurturing but focusing on others won’t get you ahead. In-

stead, take your own goals seriously. Learn to say NO. Practice taking center stage. And notice that your male co-workers aren’t

the ones leaping to organize birthday cakes and baby showers… Be brazen and bold. Asking permission, over-apologizing, and wanting to be liked are holding you back. Instead, learn to take action and make decisions. Make things happen, and see what happens. Seize the power. Act like the executive you want to be and don’t be modest. Instead, be poised, confident, and take credit for your ideas and your work. Toot that horn! Remember that you may be limiting yourself if you want “all or nothing.” There is such a thing as “both-and,” so learn to relax and compromise with yourself. Understand that there’s no way to avoid office politics or sales.

The good news is that women excel at both of them. Learn to “run for office at the office” and know that work is a game you really can win. When you first pick up “Break Your Own Rules,” you may wonder if such a skinny book could possibly hold much real, useful information. Rest assured, though: it does. Authors Jill Flynn, Kathryn Heath, and Mary Davis Holt say in their introduction that their dream is to see women in 30% of the top leadership positions in corporate America. This book is packed with guidance and thought-changing information to make that happen - so packed that it practically begs to be read over time and with careful pondering. Good habits, after all, will take more than a quick, halfhearted 208-page browsing.

house becomes a home when the owner’s personality is reflected in the décor. The best way to accomplish this is through accessories. Family photos, your mother’s teacups, and the ceramic box your daughter made in third grade—all of those cherished treasures deserve a special place in your home. How do you display accessories successfully? When I redesign a home, I keep several things in mind when arranging my clients’ accessories. • Arrange accessories in oddnumbered groupings. On any surface such as a coffee table or chest of drawers, arrange accessories in groups of three, five, or even seven if the surface is large enough. One large-scale item, like a ceramic urn or pot, can also work well. • On a tabletop, arrange accessories of varying heights in a pyramid or triangular shape. Use a tall

item like a lamp, pillar candle or sculpture in the center. The next item should be approximately 2/3 the height of the tallest item. The last item should be about 1/3 the height of the tallest item. Boxes or books can be used to raise items to the desired height. • Group like items together rather than scatter them throughout the room. Your collection of antique cameras, for example, will have more impact if you group them together in a bookcase. Try mixing in some old photographs or other related items to add interest and build on the theme. Collections of small items such as buttons or shells can be displayed in glass bowls or vases. • Arrange a grouping of accessories on a tray to corral the items and give them more impact and importance. • Plants and flowers add life, color and texture to your groupings. If you have a green thumb,

real plants are best, but high-quality silks work well also. • Use platters, plates or trays to create backdrops for other accessories. This looks especially nice in china cabinets, bookcases, and that space above the kitchen cabinets. • Use accessories to accentuate the theme or color in artwork. For example, a red vase placed in front of a painting will highlight the red found in that painting. Another example: Place an antique musical instrument alongside a painting with a musical theme. * Large-scale rooms need largescale accessories. Small items will just get lost in the room. • Resist the urge to fill every inch of shelf or tabletop space. Leaving some “white space” will allow the eye to rest and also to focus on the accessories that are there.

t is time to move from paper to plastic. BART and SamTrans have launched intensive campaigns for November and December 2011 to transition more of their riders from paper tickets and passes to the Bay Area’s reloadable, plastic Clipper fare card before the end of the year. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which is spearheading the regional Clipper fare payment program, has joined with BART and SamTrans to alert the public to major changes in the availability and acceptance of paper fare media on these two systems come December 31, 2011. Both the regional BART rail system and SamTrans, which operates buses throughout San Mateo County and into San Francisco, are focused on enrolling seniors and youths in the Clipper program so that these customers can continue to enjoy transit discounts without interruption. BART is also telling commuters, who rely on High Value paper tickets

which offer a 6.25 percent discount off regular fares, to switch to Clipper. SamTrans’ December 2011 monthly passes will be the last paper passes sold for most categories of riders. Passes transitioning to Clipper-only are the Eligible Discount Pass used by senior, disabled and Medicare patrons, the Youth Pass, the Local Pass, the Local/SF Pass, and the Express Pass. The January 2012 SamTrans passes, and most categories of monthly passes thereafter, will be available only on Clipper, although SamTrans patrons will still be able to pay for single rides with cash. Meanwhile, BART has been steadily phasing out its network of retailers that sell three types of discounted paper tickets: the High Value tickets, green tickets (for seniors) and red tickets (for disabled and youth riders). While BART will continue to accept these special paper tickets, the agency is cutting back its distribution network to a handful of retail locations and the special paper tickets will not be readily available to the public after December 31, 2011. BART riders

will still be able to buy full-fare paper tickets at the ticket machines in stations indefinitely. The switch from paper to plastic fare media is a plus for riders, according to MTC Chair Adrienne Tissier, who serves as vice president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and also sits on the boards of directors for SamTrans and the Caltrain rail system, which connects Gilroy and San Jose with San Francisco. “Customers will have the extra convenience of auto-load on their Clipper cards,” said Tissier. “BART commuters can set it up so that a new High Value ticket will load whenever the balance falls below $10. You’ll never be caught without enough money to exit. Likewise for SamTrans’ monthly pass users - you can load it to your card automatically every month.” The message about the phase-out of paper tickets and passes has been clear with the number of active Clipper cards in circulation growing at the rate of more than 7,000 or more per week this fall (“active” refers to cards that have been used at least once in the last year). MTC staff predicts the number of active Clipper cards in circulation will soon hit one million, driven in part by the BART and SamTrans campaigns. Still, the transit agencies fear some customers may not be aware of the changes and are keen to inform as many as possible about the transition from paper passes

and tickets to the Clipper card. SamTrans and BART are holding a series of in-person, sign-up events in November and December 2011 at participating retailers, senior centers and transit stations where riders can obtain a free adult or senior Clipper card (seniors must show proof of age) and where students can sign-up for a free youth card (also with proof of age). View the schedule for upcoming events at www.clippercard.com/events. Adult Clipper cards are also available at many Walgreens stores and other participating retail locations. While the cards are free during this introductory period, riders must load cash value or passes before using the card. Youths who sign up for Clipper at the outreach events will have to wait up to two weeks for their card to arrive in the mail. Youths, who need a Clipper card sooner, should visit a transit agency ticket office or the Clipper kiosk at San Francisco’s Embarcadero BART/Muni station and at the Bay Crossings Store in the San Francisco Ferry Building. For a comprehensive list of Clipper locations that accept applications for youth and senior Clipper cards, visit www.clippercard.com/discount. View recent additions to the Clipper retailer network at www.clippercard.com/ retail. Stay tuned to Facebook.com/BayAreaClipper for updates on new retailers and Clipper sign-up events.

Hayward City office closures in November and December SUBMITTED BY KELLY MORARIU As part of the City of Hayward’s efforts to balance its operating budget, most non-public safety operations will observe two unpaid furlough periods in November and December 2011, during which most City offices will close. The first will last from Monday, November 21 until Friday, November 25, 2011 with City services returning to normal on

Monday, November 28. The second is from Friday, December 23 until Friday, December 30, 2011; City services will resume usual operations on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. During both periods, Police, Fire and emergency services and Hayward Public Library (Main and Weekes branches) will operate as normal. For emergency utility services (water/sewer), call (510) 583-4600. City Hall will close for both furloughs. The Bill

Payment/Revenue Center will not be open but bills can be paid by using the night box on the outside of City Hall; payments can also be made on-line (instructions available on the City’s website www.haywardca.gov). The Permit Center (Building and Planning Permits/Inspections) will also close; services (including permit applications, re-submittals, and building and rental housing inspection requests) will be unavailable.

wards an innovative solution to solve this problem. We researched, understood, analyzed, and recorded data about overall food contamination. Then we decided to base our research on “chicken contamination” at every particular stage in its journey from the farm to when it is put on the table ready to eat. We realized that at every stage: on ground at the farm, in transport, in processing facilities, at distribution points, and finally, in the kitchen or while serving; food can become contaminated. So, safe food handling is critical at all stages. Our extensive research and documentation was based on reviewing scientific articles, researching the internet, reading newspapers and magazines and watching several videos about the food industry. We interviewed multiple professionals that work in the food industry. On meeting a food inspector

and asked a variety of questions related to food contamination. Our next trip was to Subway on Mission Blvd., where we learned that replacing cutting boards is essential and hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of diseases. Good hygiene practices before, during, and after food preparation can reduce the chances of getting an illness. Ms. Valerie Spier, Clinical Dietician/Diabetes educator, Nutrition Services at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Fremont, informed us on how to prevent illnesses by promoting healthy eating habits and suggested diet modifications. Did you know that bacteria thrive on protein and sugars the most? Or, that salt is a natural ingredient that can kill bacteria? She encouraged us to promote sound eating habits, and shared ideas on food safety rules with our team.

hard work and preparation by presenting our project at the Alameda County Library in Fremont. We were excited to deliver our presentation, answer questions and raise public awareness on food safety. Food contamination is a major public health issue. The next time, you tear into that chicken burger make sure you are not getting food poisoning on the side! Going forward, our team realized that no matter how big a problem may be, we have the ability to change the world and solve major problems by being creative, innovative, positive and working together as a team. Robotics helped us think “out of the box” and encouraged us to come together to solve everyday problems. Thank you FLL for providing us with a great challenge and an opportunity to make a difference. Stay safe!

Ex-NBA center riding high after stolen bike found continued from page 25

possession of stolen property and felony theft, Murray police Sgt. Brian Wright said. Bradley, who has been riding the bicycle since packing on the pounds after his retirement following 13 NBA seasons, was thrilled at the news. Authorities wouldn't reveal a motive for the theft, but Bradley speculated that anybody who took it simply was looking for something they could pawn for quick cash. They certainly weren't going to ride it - as it is about 50 percent larger than what a normalsized person would ride. Trek never even included a serial number when it built the bike in 2005 because it is so unique. ‘I'm guessing he just walked it away,” Wright said of the suspect, who stands just 6-foot. Bradley's home on 3 acres is protected by an electronic gate, and backs up to Little Cottonwood Creek. Bradley found it strange that only the bicycle, black with a “76” painted on the frame to denote Bradley's height, was taken Friday morning from a barn next to the gated home. Seven other bicycles used by his six children and wife weren't touched, nor were his boat, tools or even a $200 pair of Oakley sunglasses stuffed into his bicycle helmet. “It's a stolen bike, not the end of the world,'' Bradley said before knowing it had been recovered. “It's just kind of a weird story. It's not like I can go down to the bike shop and buy a new bike. It'd be the same if my clothes were stolen.” Inside his home, countertops and doorways are raised and an

oversized animal-print chair sits behind his large desk. With a 44-inch inseam, even his pants must be custom-made. Bradley took up cycling because he needed to get healthy again. He had taken time off following his NBA career to let his body recover, but also packed on the pounds, ballooning from his playing weight of 275 pounds to 335. “I just wasn't feeling good,'' Bradley said. Bicycling the roads and canyons of Utah was the solution. He's shed about 30 pounds of fat after making bicycling part of a daily routine. He's logged several thousand miles, including many ``century rides'' - rides of 100 miles or more. Bradley also rode from Logan, Utah, to Jackson Hole, Wyo., last year. “It's changed my body (composition) and when I ride the bike in the morning, I want to eat healthy the rest of the day. It's a mental game I play with myself,” he said. The 39-year-old is president of the board of directors at West Ridge Academy, a youth residential treatment center in Utah. In 2010, he ran for a seat in the Utah House of Representatives but lost. He's contemplating another run for public office. Now he doesn't have to worry about finding a replacement bicycle, valued at between $6,000 and $10,000. “I'm not a racer, but I love to ride,'” he said on a sun-splashed fall day. “A day like today would have been perfect.”

Mermaid character. A Little Mermaid attraction previously opened at Disneyland in California. SeaWorld Orlando announced last week a new attraction for 2012 centered on sea turtles, including a first-of-its-kind 360-degree domed theater showing a 3-D movie about the endangered creatures. Legoland, which opened in October in central Florida, is renovating and reopening an existing water park at the site next year. New roller coasters opening in 2012 include the ``Manta'' at SeaWorld San Diego, which will simulate underwater flight; and “Superman”-themed launch coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, introduces a new coaster called “X-Flight.” Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, introduces a 200-foot-tall (61meter-tall) coaster called “Skyrush,” which will reach speeds of 75 mph (120 kph). Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, will offer the 210-foottall (65-meter-tall) “Wild Eagle.” Busch Gardens Williamsburg, in Virginia, offers a half-mile-long (1.5-kilometer-long) new coaster called “Verbolten.” “I think this is the first time in several years we've seen that number of blockbuster attractions open in one year,” trade group spokesman David Mandt said Tuesday. As expected, the theme park industry overall saw modest growth around 2 to 4 percent - in 2011 as parts of the country have been slower to recover from recession. Analysts predict about the same for 2012. “If weather, if economy, if oil (prices) all stay about where they are now, we would anticipate another up season,” said industry consultant Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services Inc. “There's a lot of new product coming on line for 2012, so the parks should be able to capitalize on that.” Attractions continued to offer deep discounts to get guests in the gate in slow times of the year, and are still trying to “wean themselves off of it,” Speigel said. October was a good month as many parks capitalized on Halloween. “You look at how (parks) have all adjusted themselves and do better with what they've got,” said Steve Baker, an Orlando-based industry consultant and president of Baker Leisure Group. “I think it's going to be a growth year, but I don't know how big.” Trends on the horizon include the development of more sophisticated immersive, interactive rides, and better smartphone apps that can direct guests inside the parks. “In the next 10 years, we're going to see our level of participatory and interactive (attractions) ratchet up to new dimensions,” Speigel predicted. The global gathering in Orlando this week, the largest of the year for the $24 billion attractions industry, drew more than 1,100 exhibitors from 32 different nations.
