displaying a variety of mediums and passions. Guild member Ellen Bailey has been creating art work since childhood. Watercolor is her medium of choice; she believes magical things happen when water and paint are applied to paper. Barbara Berrner is a California native and has been working on two-dimensional art for many years. Carol Bettencourt believes the world of art is a fantastic place to be. It is an adventure in learning to creatively express oneself. Painting since age 12, Ethel Whitfield Morgan came to California from Ohio and loves to paint the world as she sees it. Doris Okano is enrolled in art education in Castro Valley. She uses primary pastels and outdoor scenery, including desserts. Edward Ortman grew up in Oakland loving art, drawing, printing, and silkscreen. He has over forty years of experience in graphic arts, working as a silkscreen printer and a lithog-

rapher. When he retired, Ortman returned to his first love, oil painting. Jane Tsushima began painting in 1975. Today she works in a variety of mediums and has won awards in many of them.

Inspired by the beauty of watercolor, Kathy Zanger began painting in 2006. Barbara Andreasen, Shirley Younger, Zeneida Lambertus,

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY MONICA KIM Meet Rhodopis – the original Cinderella – in a new opera presented by the Montessori School of Fremont at the Smith Center at Ohlone College on February 2. “Rhodopis is more exciting than the Cinderella story most people are familiar with today,” said Kathy Brunner, Montessori’s upper elementary teacher. “It’s actually the story of a young girl’s amazing journey from being a slave to a revered Queen of Egypt, who bettered the lives of orphans and women. We’re very excited to bring this opera to a whole new generation.” Rhodopis was written in the 1st century by a Greek historian. As the story begins, Rhodopis is living in Greece with her family. She is kid-

napped by pirates and sold as a slave to a family in Egypt. There, she is treated harshly by her owner’s daughters who are jealous of her fair beauty. One day a falcon steals Rhodopis’ sandal and flies away with it and eventually drops it in the lap of the Pharaoh. He is so struck by the beauty of the sandal that he vows to find and marry its owner. This classic tale has been beautifully adapted by the acclaimed duo Sanford and Judy Jones, founders of Youth Opera International. For over 25 years, they have created and directed more than a dozen operas for children. Every student from grades 1 to 6 of the Montessori School of Fremont will be performing in this visually lush production. And this year’s lead soprano is Sophia Brunner, a veteran of

the Jones’ operas and the lead of “The Awakened One.” The price for an adult ticket is $12 and $10 for children, making this an affordable and entertaining evening out for the family. Tickets are available through the Montessori School of Fremont (510) 490-0919. For further information, please visit their website: www.montessorifremont.com/opera.html.

This program weaves together classes and information that impact participants’ health status, such as exercise, nutrition and health management. Every day we hear or read about the importance of exercise and nutrition. Being active can help older adults prevent or delay some diseases like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes; help them feel better and enjoy life; and ultimately stay independent and able to care for themselves.

The Bookworm

The bill for the holiday spending spree came the other day, delivered by an industrialsized forklift. Okay, not quite, but it sure seemed like it. That bill was thick, it had too many numbers to the left of the decimal point, and you’re feeling somewhat ashamed. You should be saving money, not spending it. What if disaster struck? Or, what if you learned that spending was actually good for our country? Would that make you open your wallet wider? Read “Against Thrift” by James Livingston, and it might… Ever since the U.S. economy faltered, there’s been lots of finger pointing and blame-laying. There’s also been a mad scramble to reassemble our house of (credit) cards, but in order to know where to go next, we need to understand where we’ve been. History, for instance, shows that cutting corporate taxes in the hopes that it might create growth doesn’t work. It also doesn’t take a great leap of the imagination to see how “the Great Depression and the recent economic crisis are comparable events,” but James Livingston goes further by saying that both were “caused by an excess of profits and a shortage of wages, or too much saving and not enough spending.” And he’s not only talking about corporations.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.

“Just to begin with,” Livingston says, “a much larger dose of consumer spending is absolutely necessary to prevent the kind of economic catastrophe that still racks the domestic and international economies.”

Spend-spend-spending is against what experts have touted for decades, but Livingston says that we need to disregard that old advice. We just need to spend judiciously and consciously. Also, we need to put less weight on our “Protestant work ethic” and “Puritan belief.” In short, we need to lighten up, both in mood and in our bank accounts. “I’m saying that we need to… spend more, for our own good. If we don’t, we sacrifice ourselves on

the altar of productivity and meanwhile sentence our children to a future of pointless repression, denial, and delay.” Looking for a good excuse for holiday overspending? You might find it here, but not as easily as you might think – and the reason is that “Against Thrift” is a book that requires a lot of thinking. Author James Livingston (who strongly avows that he’s not an economist) looks at our economy from the perspective of a historian. But he also includes words from highly-regarded economists and philosophers, as well as a surprising amount of consumer-based psychology, vis-a-vis economics. You’ll then find some unexpected conclusions with a bit of humanitarian flair. See what I mean? The heaviness of this book (in content, not weight) means that anyone without a relatively good knowledge of American politics and economic history will probably rue their purchase of it. That doesn’t mean that this is a bad book, though - instead, I think it’ll just take a special reader to be delighted with it. If you’re up for some food-forthought, in fact, you might find “Against Thrift” to be a pretty great buy. c.2011, Basic Books $27.50 / $32.00 Canada 257 pages

SUBMITTED BY SACHIE JOHNS The Fremont Art Association is pleased to welcome its February Guest Artist, Mark Mertens on Wednesday, February 1 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. at The Fremont Art Centre, 37697 Niles Boulevard in Niles-Fremont (corner of J Street). Mertens is a pastel landscape painter noted for draftsmanship, simple composition, and dramatic effect of light. The artist will demo his skillful techniques of painting landscape in pastel. This event is free and the public is welcome. Mertens enjoys painting the varied scenery here in Northern California. Though his subject matter ranges from the rugged coastline to the Sierra Mountains, his focus is on scenery closer to home where he finds tranquility in the midst of the urban environment. Mertens grew up in Western Montana where he was fascinated by the changing light and the dramatic atmospheric effects on distant mountains—he looks for similar effects in the scenery here in Northern California

Sunrise on the Slough by Mark Mertens

and it is his aim to reflect this in his paintings. He simplifies composition and emphasizes the essence of the subject rather than the specific subject itself to draw the viewer into the scene. Over the past ten years, the artist has shown in group exhibitions and juried competitions, receiving many awards for pastel landscapes. His pastels are in collections in the Bay Area. He is a signature member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, and a member of Group 95, California Art Club, Livermore Art Association,

Hayward Arts Council, and ART Inc. For details on this free enlightening event, please call the centre at (510) 792-0905 or visit: www.FremontArtAssociation.org.

Private club sent dinner to billionaire in jail AP WIRE SERVICE

DETROIT (AP) - The wealthiest inmate at the Wayne County jail didn't have to eat jail chow. The sheriff tells the Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/x92K aj) that billionaire Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel “Matty” Moroun had dinner sent over from the Detroit Athletic Club on Thursday night. Moroun and bridge company president Dan Stamper were released from jail Friday by the Michigan appeals court. They were sent there by a judge who's fed up with delays in a construction project linking the bridge to area interstates. Sheriff Benny Napoleon says Moroun's lawyer asked that the 84-year-old be allowed to have carry-out from the club known as the DAC. He cited Moroun's age and health. The sheriff's chief of staff approved the request. Stamper had a bite, too, although it's not known what the men ate. --Information from: Detroit Free Press, http://www.freep.com

Fremont Unified School District Board meeting report BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH The following are highlights from the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Board meeting held on January 11, 2012. Community Leadership Superintendent’s Report: Superintendent James Morris briefly commented on several items: Two Fremont schools, Durham Elementary and Hopkins Junior High were selected to apply for National Blue Ribbon status, which is awarded to schools demonstrating dramatic gains for disadvantaged students. Mission San Jose High School music students returned from participating in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in London. The FUSD website has information for parents and students interested in the Magnet and Language Immersion programs available at certain schools in the district. Blacow Elementary School has a new bumper sticker: “Biliteracy…priceless!” School Board members Lily Mei, Larry Sweeney, Ivy Wu and

Lara York, completed a course in the “Masters’ in Governance Training” presented by the CA School Board Association. Community Leadership Budget Update: Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Micaela Ochoa, said that regarding the 20102011 school year, FUSD had previously set aside $8 million to cover any mid-year cuts. Now, the updated information is that Transportation will be cut by $1.2 million and revenue to the district reduced by an additional $500,000 in cuts, resulting in a $1.7 million reduction in revenue for the district. As for the 2012-2013 school year the Governor proposed tax measures on the November ballot that could bring in needed revenue. We’ll know more about this by the next Board meeting. Oral Communications/Public Comment: Sherea Westra, a Fremont teacher who also serves as a Vice President of the Fremont Education Foundation, announced details of their upcoming fundraising event. This

10th annual “Excellence in Education Gala” will take place at the Fremont Marriott, on the evening of Friday, February 24. Proceeds will benefit the Innovative Education Grants Program. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.fremont-education.org. Westra also took the time to express her appreciation to the Board and Staff, regarding the District’s two “Literacy Coaches” who have provided invaluable assistance to the students and teachers. “They are truly effective and know their stuff,” commented Westra. Consent Calendar –Public Comment: Rodney Clark, Executive Director of SAVE (Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments) spoke in support of the District adopting a resolution proclaiming February 2012 as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention month. He stated that this is “a real issue and a real concern,” and because of that, throughout the year, SAVE has been doing presentations on the subject in local classrooms. Last year

SAVE served over 1,200 students, usually through their 9th grade Health classes. SAVE tries to bring to the students, an awareness of the differences between healthy and non-healthy relationships/interactions. Regular Board Agenda Item – Local Educational Plan Addendum: Due to the fact that FUSD has several subgroups of students, (Hispanic, African-American and Economically Disadvantaged), who are not performing as well academically, in comparison to other Fremont students, the district was notified earlier in the school year that it has been designated as a “Program Improvement” district. In light of that, FUSD was required to put together a team to research the problems and develop a plan of action to help ameliorate the situation. The completed plan will serve as an “addendum,” to the District’s Local Educational Agency plan. At the meeting, Kathy Ashford, Director of Federal and State Projects for FUSD, presented a nine-step plan to help the specific aca-

demic problems of low-achieving students. District parent, Hiu Ng commented, “The plan is good but how are we going to make it happen?” Trustee Lara York echoed the sentiments expressed by Ng and suggested, “We need to let everyone know and get the support of teachers and parents.” York also suggested that perhaps 180 teaching days were not enough to accomplish all that the District is expected to be doing during a regular school day. Board Vice President Ivy Wu stated, “This is a comprehensive plan. No guarantees we can do this, but I have confidence in our staff.” Lily Mei, the Board President added that 85 percent of all the school districts in California are in “Program Improvement,” so Fremont is not alone in this process. After further discussion, the motion to accept the addendum was approved unanimously by the Board. This plan will be sent by the January 23 continued on page35

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI In between a grocery store offering sustenance for the body and a fire station providing bodily rescue, an unassuming building on Niles Boulevard that started out as a medical practice now quietly suggests health for the soul. Inside, the life of local artist Ed Frakes blossoms on the walls in the form of irises, portraits, and nature views in an exhibit titled “The First 54 Years.” Frakes spent 22 years teaching in Newark, from fifth and sixth graders and special education classes, to various art classes in watercolor, found art sculpture, and print making. The exhibit came about when some friends urged him to do something special in celebration of his 75th birthday, and suggested a retrospective show of his work. Laurie Manuel and Beth Hoffman, owners of the building called UPTOWN (an

change by watching the edges of your paintings; things creep in at the sides and alter the work that follows. Frakes says he can see this transformation when viewing his own pieces. “I’ve come a long way and I’ve done the work.” Despite the successful venture, don’t expect him to stage more exhibits or show up in galleries. “It’s been a real

“adaptive reuse project in progress” for future community uses), wanted to test the space as a gallery, and opportunity and need met in a friendly handshake. Around 50 pieces of art are on display, dating from 1960 to the present. A couple of drawings and watercolors are in the mix, but the exhibit is predominately made up of oil paintings. The exhibit opened on January 14, three days before Frakes’ birthday, and has since welcomed hundreds of visitors and produced sales. Having only shown out of his house on art walks, Frakes says putting up the show was really neat, having the opportunity to hang up large things he couldn’t at home and see the progression of his work over the years. When asked what he thinks of seeing his art hung all together in one space Frakes replies, “A lot of work.” He says someone once told him that you can tell how your art is going to

learning experience,” he says of the process, noting that the marketing aspect takes a lot of time. “It reiterates the fact that I’d rather be painting.” With Frakes’ desire being to just keep on painting, this might be the public’s last chance to see his work on display. The exhibit ends on Tuesday, January 31 with a unique closing reception. In addi-

tion to an open community gathering with some snacks, Frakes has arranged for musicians to be on hand and lead a procession of people carrying the paintings back to his house. An inspired and festive idea, the parade will not be a long one - Frakes only lives a block away. He says he doesn’t know what he should call the closing reception, maybe “The Carrying Home.” While that rings a note of closure and finality, Frakes assures, “It’s not over, it’s just moving.” Those interested in his art are welcome to call and set up appointments at his house. When asked ‘What is the importance of art in his life,’ Frakes says, “It is my life. I’m very unhappy if I’m not doing art.” He says he discovered early on that that connection with art, doing what you’re suppose to be doing is what makes you happy. The exhibit is open daily from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. and manned by the artist himself. For more information, please contact Ed Frakes at (510) 794-1368.

Suspects in multiple armed robberies arrested SUBMITTED BY DARRYL MCALLISTER, HAYWARD PD About 9:07 a.m. on January 24, three suspects accosted a male victim at the corner of Hesperian Boulevard and Turner Court. The victim was walking to Chabot College when the suspects ordered him to give them his valuables. The victim tried to get away but the male suspects assaulted him and took his property. The initial report to Hayward Police listed a Lincoln Navigator as the suspect vehicle and described the suspects as two Hispanic male adults and one Hispanic female juvenile. The victim in this case suffered only minor abrasions. About 11:46 a.m., a second robbery occurred in the area of Princeton Street at Sunset Boulevard in Alameda County Sheriff’s jurisdiction. A male victim was accosted by suspects who were described similarly to those listed in the first robbery incident as was the description of the suspect’s vehicle. The third robbery occurred at 1:51 p.m. near the intersection of Depot Road and Dodge Avenue. In this incident, the suspects approached a female victim who was also walking to Chabot College. The juvenile female suspect simulated a firearm and demanded the victim’s valuables. One of the male suspects took the victim’s property including car keys. The suspect took the victim’s car while another suspect drove from the scene in the Lincoln Navigator. All of the robbery suspects descriptions and those of the two vehicles were relayed to Hayward patrol officers. The victim was not injured in this incident. Officers in the area looking for the suspects located both vehicles traveling North on Hwy 880 near West Winton Avenue. Both vehicles were stopped and all suspects were detained. Property stolen from the victims was found in the suspects’ possession and the suspects were identified as the culprits. The male suspects are identified as 18 year-old Brandon Halsell of Hayward and 18 year-old Francisco Cervantes of Hayward. The female suspect is 17 years old and a Hayward resident. The males are currently in custody at the Hayward Police Department and the female is currently in custody at Juvenile Hall in San Leandro. Investigators worked into the early morning hours putting this case together and will now consult with neighboring police agencies to determine if the suspects are responsible for other robbery cases.

Double MISSING fatality traffic AYLA REYNOLDS collision Missing since December 16, 2011 at 10 p.m.

SUBMITTED BY JOHN FLYNN, FREMONT PD At approximately 1:30 pm, January 23, a Fremont Police Officer on routine patrol in a residential area of the Irvington District saw a suspicious vehicle, a 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, pass by him. The officer turned around to follow the vehicle and the Monte Carlo made several quick to avoid the officer. As the Monte Carlo sped away, the officer was dispatched to another call for service. A short time later, the officer came across a major traffic collision at the intersection of Delaware Street and Fremont Blvd. involving the same vehicle. Witnesses reported that the Monte Carlo had been eastbound on Delaware Street at a high rate of speed and failed to stop for a red traffic signal as it approached the intersection of Fremont Boulevard. The left door of the Monte Carlo was impacted by the front of a 1999 Durango and came to rest at the bottom of a flood control canal. The Durango then impacted a 2004 Ford Pick-up truck that had been stopped in the northbound left turn lane. Firefighters and paramedics were dispatched to the scene. Two adult males and two adult females were in the Monte Carlo; a 35 year-old male and 36 year-old female were pronounced dead at the scene. A 30 year-old male and a 30 year-old female from the Monte Carlo were transported to a local trauma center. The driver of the Durango, a 42 year-old male Fremont resident had minor injuries to his arm. The driver and passenger of the Ford truck, 61 year-old and 21 year-old males, both San Jose residents were not injured in the collision. The intersection was shut down for investigation by both the Fremont Police Department and the Alameda County Coroner’s Office. Names of the deceased will be released by the Alameda County Coroner’s Office. Any witnesses to the collision that did not speak to an officer at the scene are requested to contact the lead investigator, Officer Shannon at (510) 790-6765.

A difficult start for new San Francisco sheriff BY BETH DUFF-BROWN AND TERRY COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Ross Mirkarimi, San Francisco's first new sheriff in more than three decades, called his swearing in last Sunday “one of the happiest days of my life.” Not a week later, the popular progressive politician undoubtedly had one of his worst, ending with a mug shot. Mirkarimi was charged Friday with battering his wife, booked by the very sheriff's deputies he now commands. And if convicted on the misdemeanor charges, he faces the distinction of becoming the only sheriff in California prohibited from carrying a gun. He also

would be required to attend domestic violence classes, pay a $400 fine and could be put on probation for up to three years or sent to jail for up to a year The district attorney's office charged him with domestic battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness - charges he disputes. “No one is above the law,” District Attorney George Gascon told reporters after announcing the charges. “Whether this was the elected sheriff or any other San Francisco resident, this type of behavior is inexcusable, criminal, and will be prosecuted.” The investigation centers on a New Year's Eve incident in which Mirkarimi, 50, allegedly grabbed his wife, former Venezuelan telenovela star Eliana

Lopez, bruising her upper right arm at their San Francisco home. The sheriff's stormy first week in office followed a steady political rise, San Francisco style. Mirkarimi, a member of the Board of Supervisors since 2004, won a close election in November to replace longtime progressive Sheriff Michael Hennessey. He was not backed by the deputies' union, but his name recognition and liberal politics helped him win the seat. The Chicago-born son of an Iranian father, Mirkarimi has called San Francisco home for 27 years. He has master's degrees from Golden Gate University in Economics and the University of San Francisco in environmental science. He graduated from San Francisco's Police Academy and

served nine years as an armed DA investigator. As a county supervisor, representing a district that includes the Haight-Ashbury, Mirkarimi led the nation's first ban on plastic bags in grocery stores. An advocate of legalizing medicinal marijuana, he was cofounder of the California Green Party and was the state coordinator for Ralph Nader's presidential bid in 2000. He became a Democrat a couple of years ago. After the alleged domestic violence incident on Dec. 31, Mirkarimi's wife turned to a neighbor, who later contacted police. Authorities confiscated video the neighbor had taken of Lopez's arm and text messages between the two women. Lopez later said in a written

statement that the episode was “completely taken out of context.” Mirkarimi, moments after he was sworn in, called the incident “a private matter, a family matter.” But on Friday, the somber sheriff appeared outside his City Hall office, telling gathered reporters that he would fight the charges and would not resign. “The charges are very unfounded,” he said calmly. Lopez, by his side, appeared dazed by the turn of events. “I don't have any complaint against my husband,” she said. “This is unbelievable.” San Francisco is no stranger to political drama, even criminal charges being filed against high ranking law enforcement officontinued on page 23

AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), Jan 24 Macy's Inc. has sued Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. in a bid to block a licensing deal between the housewares company and J.C. Penney Co. The lawsuit was filed Monday in New York State Supreme Court. Macy's claims Martha Stewart Living's deal with J.C. Penney violates the terms of an

exclusive pact Macy's has to sell Martha Stewart Living products at its stores, according to reports in The Wall Street Journal and other publications. The complaint comes after Plano, Tex.-based J.C. Penney acquired a 16.6 percent stake in Martha Stewart Living and announced plans last month to open mini-Martha Stewart shops inside most of its stores, beginning next year. The deal

announced last month was seen as part of J.C. Penney's efforts to re-image itself under its new CEO Ron Johnson, a former Apple Inc. executive. Cincinnati-based Macy's has asked the court for a preliminary injunction to block the deal. Martha Stewart Living said it does not comment on legal matters, but issued a statement saying that it received a notifi-

cation from Macy's that it intends to renew and extend its commercial agreement with Martha Stewart Living to feature and promote the Martha Stewart Collection in Macy's stores. The New York-based lifestyle, media and merchandising company also noted that its commercial agreement with J.C. Penney remains in effect. Calls and an email seeking

comment from Macy's and its attorney were not immediately returned late Monday. Macy's shares added 9 cents in aftermarket trading. The stock ended regular trading down 29 cents at $35.09. Martha Stewart Living shares slid 15 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $4.15 in aftermarket trading after slipping 13 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $4.30 during the regular session.

enue bonds to help fund critical infrastructure projects and refinance existing debt at a lower interest rate. The bonds will save the District millions of

dollars and help speed the completion of seismic reliability projects, fire flow projects, and water supply reliability projects. “ACWD’s AAA bond rating paved the way for a very successful sale,” said John Weed, ACWD Board President. “The District’s commitment to financial integrity has resulted in our ability to obtain financing at a 3.22% interest rate – one of the lowest rates on the market. This will allow us to more quickly complete projects that

will help to keep the water system functioning in the event of a natural disaster.” The bonds will be used on a number of fronts: • Seismic reliability projects, which will help to minimize water service disruptions in the event of an earthquake. • Fire flow projects, which will help to improve fire protection services in the Tri-City area. • Water supply reliability projects, which will help to ensure an uninterrupted flow of water

to Tri-City residents and businesses. • Water quality projects, which will help to maintain the high quality of the Tri-City’s water supply. “Our customers will benefit from this bond sale in three significant ways,” said ACWD Board member Paul Sethy. “First, projects that will help to keep the water flowing after an earthquake and ensure adequate continued on page 23

A difficult start for new San Francisco sheriff cials. In the “Fajita-gate” scandal of 2002, a late-night brawl by off-duty officers over fajitas led to the indictment of the police chief and his command staff on obstruction charges later found to be baseless. “San Francisco is not Peoria; it's got a lot of colorful and checkered officials,” said Peter Keane, a law professor at Golden Gate University. “You have supervisors who assassinate mayors. It's unfortunately part of the landscape.” The city is still scarred by the 1978 murders of supervisor and gay rights activist Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone by supervisor Dan White, who only served five years in prison then went on to commit suicide. After his swearing in last Sunday, Mirkarimi said he would focus on the rehabilitation of inmates. “I do believe in the power of redemption,” he told the Herbst Theater audience. Noticeably absent from the ceremony were Mayor Ed Lee, Gascon and Police Chief Greg Suhr, whose officers were investigating the sheriff. Lee has the authority to charge Mirkarimi with official misconduct and suspend him from office, according to John St. Croix, executive director of the city's Ethics Commission. After a hearing, the commission would make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors about whether to reinstate him or permanently remove him from office. “As elected officials, our primary responsibility and focus

must always be to fulfill our duties to the people of San Francisco,” Lee said Friday, noting that he would look at the facts and his options under the City Charter. Gascon must believe he has a strong case going forward, said Robert Weisberg, a law professor at Stanford University. “It may be hard for (Mirkarimi) to stay in office if this case goes to trial,” said Weisberg, the director of Stanford's Criminal Justice Center. ``You've got to assume that the police and the DA's office are being incredibly careful about this and really vetted this before going through. This just has great significance and sensitivity. These are not frivolous charges.” Mirkarimi's comments about the matter being private have added fuel to the controversy, which saw another odd twist when Lopez was photographed in the background of a City Hall rally on Thursday by the domestic violence groups protesting against her husband. Lopez told a reporter she was just observing the rally as she was headed into the building to see her husband. The women's rights advocates want Mirkarimi to step aside while the case is ongoing, and to resign if found guilty. “It's like the fox guarding the henhouse,” said Minouche Kendel, an attorney with Bay Area Legal Aid. “The sheriff should not be putting his political career over the safety of domestic violence survivors and their children in this city.”

water pressure to fight fires will be completed in a more timely manner. Second, paying these bonds off over the next 30 years will help to moderate future rate increases and eliminate ‘rate shock.’ And third, the low interest rate we obtained will save our ratepayers money over the long haul.” Approximately half of the issuance will be used to help fund infrastructure projects while the other half will be used to refinance existing debt. Refinancing at the 3.22% interest rate will save the District, and its customers, approximately $7 million over the life of the bond. For more information, please visit www.acwd.org.

Newark Fire wins State Cup quarter final BY FRANZ BRUCKNER PHOTO BY MARGRIT PETRFOSKY

The U-11 Newark Fire defeated the Ceres Earthquakes in the NorCal state Cup gold 3 quarter final to advance to the Semifinal against the San Ramon Rampage, where the Fire lost a nail biter in penalty kicks by the score of 5-4. Against Ceres, Newark went up 5-0 in the first half powered by Angelique Valenzuela’s three goals. Hannah Gamez and Aracelli Hinojosa also tallied goals for the Fire. Additionally, Sara Jones collected two assists in the first half, while Sam Ocegueda and Gamez collected the other two assists. In the second half, Gamez tallied a second goal thanks to Sara Jone’s third assist of the game. For the Fire defense, Lisette Mason had an outstanding game in goal, holding the earthquakes to two goals. Isabella Garcia also had an outstanding game (second half in particular) helping to shut down the

Against Danville in the semifinal, Newark played another solid game holding the Rampage scoreless. Following a scoreless regulation (60 minutes), the two teams played 10 minutes of “golden goal” soccer (first goal wins the game). Newark had several excellent scoring opportunities which would have ended the game, but were unlucky not to convert. The game went to penalty kicks, where Fire bowed out by the score of 5 to 4. Fire will finish their season out in the next few weeks when they face Bay Oaks for the league title.

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI n a world where toting electronic devices is the norm, the question of how to get the most out of them naturally follows. Accessories for phones and computers are not a new concept,

no practical way to prop it up when he wanted his hands free. His brother identified with the problem, saying he would buy a banana whenever he went into Starbucks in order to prop up his phone. Device supports were fancy and expensive, and Moore knew there had to be

but a locally developed product provides a simple and affordable option that supports local industry and aims for a global market. Fremont resident Garret Moore found himself unemployed after being laid off from his position as creative director for a dot-com in Silicon Valley. Facing a nationwide job fall off and feeling that he was aging out of the industry as employers preferred younger employees with fewer needs, Moore took things into his own hands. “I decided I wasn’t going to be blown around by the winds of fate,” he says. “I would make my own fate.” Moore had a BlackBerry which offered movie viewing and other diverse capabilities, but soon found there was

something better than a banana or spending $50. As an illustrator, graphic designer, and publishing artist, Moore’s creative mind went to work figuring out a simple and effective solution. He started with paper, but it couldn’t conform or adjust to what he had in mind. He wanted a stand that was adjustable to certain angles and portable, something durable that could be folded up. “We were asking a lot from a very simple device,” says Moore. The essential goals were simplicity, economy, convenience, device applicability, and Eco-responsibility. It had to be practical, a “people’s product,” something that everyone could afford. Ideas bounced around friends and

took form, and at a local art supply store looking for workable materials, Moore spotted portfolios made out of plastic. He bought one, took it home and cut it apart. “Right away I saw that this was not only applicable to form and function, but it was a #2 recyclable,” he says. Everything fell into line and Moore went with the positive flow, finding his product passing all tests. In mid-2010 the e_Sill was ready for sale, and according to Moore, “as perfect a product as we could conceive.” Simple, inexpensive, durable, lightweight, portable, and ecologically aware, the e_Sill is a stand useable in any set-

printable, accommodating any number of colors and patterns. There are currently 30 patterns available to coordinate with any personality, including geometric, skulls, letters, zebra, trigonometry chalkboard, bamboo, damask, and flowers. Custom and popular designs are also available to order in any quantity. Moore says they just did 50 e_Sills for ESPN printed with their logo. The product is a great option for advertisers looking for a way to get their name in the public eye. The e_Sill is available in two sizes, one for smartphones ($9.95) and a larger version for tablets and e-book readers ($19.95) and can be purchased

ting allowing people to view their device screens and interact with them handsfree. Just slide it open to use, then crush flat and put away when through. Constructed of the second most recyclable material, the e_Sill won’t tear or break, and after three years Moore says they have yet to throw one out, a testament to the product’s solidity and durability. The material is 100 percent

online at www.e-sill.com. While there is currently no mortar store from which to purchase the product, Moore says they can supply local retailers and is looking to place the product in stores. As for the name, “e” stands for electronic and “sill” is like a window sill, to support the device. Together, the two sound like the word easel, evoking the idea of an artist’s easel. The product

With more such product ideas the world will want American products again.” tagline “For the Art of Your Life” refers to this concept in a modern way. “We all now have most of our lives on our phones and pad computers (addresses, phone numbers, pictures, videos, notes, apps for all we do and need), and that is how we can make our lives a work of art if we are positive, creative, and honor ourselves,” says Moore. “We can all be a work of art in how we face our world. Our device reflects that. The e_Sill can be an easel for such a work of art.” Mindful of the current economic situation and the exportation of American industry, Moore says, “it was clear that 'how' we did this would be as important as the quality of the product itself. I did it all in America.” Without steady employment himself, Moore knows the value of supporting your own economy, keeping industry and jobs here. “It's only a stand, I know. But a stand that is doing it right, and being a model for a new American ethic of green, quality and innovative design.

Page 27

While a self-produced product, Moore calls his operation a “collaborative success,” crediting the input and support of friends throughout the process. “Many friends have helped me not only in their professional capacities for website, promotional and advisory, but for patent, trademark and other costs I could not afford. I have shared product value with them and owe them much in spirit if not in percentage of profit when our market bears fruit. There are some good people in our community that have helped us survive very lean times while still freelancing, and putting my and my wife's efforts toward bringing this product to market.” Finding the right outlets and getting enough exposure for a product is always a tricky thing. The e_Sill currently operates on word of mouth, its Website, Facebook, and Twitter, but Moore has no shortage of hopes. “This is going to go big in the future, I’m convinced,” he says. “I have no lack of enthusiasm for this project.” For more information on e_Sill or to purchase, visit www.e-sill.com

f you’re having trouble selecting colors for your home, take a look in your clothes closet for inspiration. Have you heard that before? It used to puzzle me when I heard people say it. After all, I like to wear black slacks with tops in bright colors like red, coral and lime green, but I wouldn’t pick those colors for my home. Or would I? Your clothing does say a lot about the styles and colors you prefer, and can provide inspiration when selecting colors for your home. Analyze the clothes in your closet. Do you have a lot of solid color clothing or patterned clothing? Are your clothes bright colors or are they more muted earth tones? Is your closet full of trendy clothes or classic clothes? Is your clothing style simple and comfortable or dressy and formal? What color dominates your wardrobe? In my case, my dominant color is black. I have several pairs of black slacks, black jackets and tops. So it is no surprise that I chose a black leather sofa for my family room, and black granite countertops in my kitchen. If you like to wear black, consider bringing some black into your décor. Give a table a new look with a coat of black paint. Replace dated cabinet hardware with black iron knobs. Consider a black leather chair, ottoman, or bench. Almost any color you pair with black will look good. Taupe, cream or tan with

ver a century of Scouting has offered unique opportunities to young men for spiritual, mental and physical growth. Generations of scouts have been beneficiaries of the camaraderie and skills associated with prescribed levels of achievement. At the pinnacle of Boy Scout accomplishments is the rank of Eagle, attained by a small percentage of participants who demonstrate through personal skills, leadership and commitment to their community, exceptional aptitude, motivation and perseverance. Among the many Troops in the Bay Area, Boy Scouts of America Troop 110, under the leadership of past and present Scoutmasters Bruce Chan, John Gillen and Shawn Smith has assembled an impressive fraternity of Eagles. A group of Eagles recently gathered to remember past achievements and share their progress toward future goals. Brief resumes and comments of these elite scouts are indicative of their potential. Currently a Freshman at UC Merced, James A. Lopez became an Eagle Scout March 10, 2011. He joined the Boy Scouts when he was 12 years old. As a Scout, he has participated in soccer, volunteered as a teacher and spent three summers at Summer Math & Science Honor Academy in Berkeley. For his Eagle Scout project, he led a group of volunteers to construct planters at Graham

The parking lot in front of the center needed a facelift and Kevin and a group of 25 volunteers did this in two days, replacing old plants with new ones and renovating the fence in front of Fire Station No.6 next to the Holly Center. “We planted 250 plants and replaced the fence with new planks and paint.” He raised about $100 for supplies, food and drink. The project involved 316 hours of planning, preparation and physical labor.

Fremont Unified School District Board meeting report continued from page 16 deadline to the State, after which time implementation would begin. Regular Board Agenda Item – Junior High & Senior High Course Catalogs: Director of Secondary Education, James Maxwell introduced the new 2012-2013 course catalogs, which are in the process of being finalized. The catalogs will now indicate at which school specific courses are taught, making it easier for students and their parents, when selecting classes. Additionally, seven new courses have been added and the ROP schedule is included in a more readable format. Regular Board Agenda Item – Budget Development Calendar: Yearly in January, after the presentation of the Governor’s budget proposal, the District develops its own Budget Calendar, based on the important tasks to accomplish and deadlines to be met. Assistant Superintendent of Business, Micaela Ochoa explained, “The Budget Calendar begins in January and runs through September when we close

books for the current year and do planning for next year. It helps to better understand what goes into this process.” Regular Board Agenda Item – Facilities Bond Consultant Contract: Various school site facilities are in need of updating or repair and following up with earlier Board meeting actions, a comprehensive needs assessment was authorized to create an overall detailed Facilities Master Plan for the district. But to support the costs of the facilities’ upgrade and in consideration of what can be done to meet the funding needs, the FUSD Staff recommended that a new facilities bond be brought before the voters. The first step would be to conduct a poll of Fremont voters to explore their reactions towards a facilities bond. In line with that, the Board was asked for their approval of a contract for the consulting firm of Godbe Research. In attendance at the Board meeting, Brian Godbe explained that the survey would be similar to the one completed for the recent Parcel Tax. When asked

about the procedure, he explained that a telephone survey would be initiated, with the questioning process expected to last 15 minutes. The firm’s consultants would attempt to call 20,000 Fremont residents of which the likelihood would be reaching 3,000. Then from the 3,000 they would realistically hope to have a minimum of 600 completed surveys. The end of February would be the target date for the telephone survey to begin. In order to be able to have a facilities bond added to the November ballot, the deadline is August 10. The 75word ballot document would have to have its wording finalized by the end of July at the latest. Prior to that, there is the need to communicate information to district parents, staff, and the community. Discussion ensued and it was stipulated by the Board that the contract would not exceed $30,000. (The budget source for the funds is the Unrestricted Ending Fund Balance.) After the motion was made, the contract with Godbe Research passed unanimously.

On January 14, a handful of Irvington High School leadership students offered their hearts, talents, and meaningful stories to seniors at the Senior Citizen Ball. Held at the Merrill Gardens Senior Center in Fremont, the evening was fittingly themed "A Starry Night." In the year 2000, Irvington High School was recognized by the Service Learning Network for their community service efforts as a National Service Learning Leader School. Irvington’s leadership assistant, Karen Li, took that prestigious honor to heart as she organized the memorable event. Li delegated a special committee within the associated student body to help her organize the event, and looked to Jane Micely, Active Living Director at Merrill Gardens, to provide an enthusiastic vision. That vision took form in the abundance of light blue and white balloons surrounding the facility, detailed personal invitations to each resident, and photos taken of all attendees as they entered the event. When contacted about the event, one of the first thoughts that came to Micely was, "It is wonderful that Irvington is taking the time to incorporate us in their lives." She was impressed that all of the students involved took care of all of the decorations, music, and entertainment for "A Starry Night." In addition to the photos, the evening consisted of arts and

crafts including decorating masks, dancing performances from Irvington's Hip-Hop Club, and a student singing performance of the song "Bubbly.” The students made the event a success by making sure residents were comfortable, serving them food and beverages, and opening up and telling them personal stories. While the residents of Merrill Gardens felt satisfied in all aspects of the glorious evening, their true satisfaction was in the one-on-one connections they built with the students. Merideth Kehrig, a resident of Merrill Gardens for 10 years, had participated in many events at the residency, but this event has now been deemed her favorite. Kehrig stated, "I like to meet the young people, it brings back memories." The next exciting event at Merrill Gardens will be the popular Mardi Gras celebration on February 21 in which people of all ages, especially youth, are encouraged to attend.
