“Opening day is always a special day,” said Moira Jacobs, president of Niles-Centerville Little League (NCLL). Jacobs addressed more than 350 people at their home fields behind Vallejo Mill Elementary School The FALL Indians t-ball team get advice from their coach before their first game of the season.

in Fremont on Saturday, March 10. Baseball enthusiasts from 5 to 85 years old joined together to officially declare the Little League season open.

Cameras of all types snapped photos in an attempt to capture every moment.

Jacobs reminded the NCLL crowd that time passes faster than a speeding baseball. “We hope you all remember to enjoy every moment you spend here,” Jacobs said. “In the blink of an

eye, your t-ball players will be asking for your car keys, so enjoy it now.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Fremont-American Little League (FALL) also held opening day ceremonies at Marshall Field near Stratford Elementary School. League president Wayne Barrs administered the oath of players and parents to respect coaches, offi

Care for the Community New clinic delivers high quality health care to Newark residents

H

Having peace of mind means different things to different people. However, most everyone can agree that having a high quality health care clinic right around the corner can certainly put the mind at ease.

Residents of Newark have a brand new partner in the quest for better health as Washington Hospital Healthcare System and Washington Township Medical Foundation (WTMF) have collaborated to open a comprehensive clinic offering both primary and urgent care services.

Caring Professionals, Better Health Care The new clinic boasts a brand new interior and state-of-the art equipment. But more importantly, the clinic will offer the services of a talented staff of board-certified family practice physicians whose combined 30 years of experience will be complemented by collaboration with a wide range of WTMF medical specialists—cardiothoracic surgeons to pediatricians and everything in between.

“Working together, the clinic’s friendly staff members and physicians serve as a valuable health resource for the entire family, from newborns to grandparents, in a location that has been transformed to meet the needs of the growing local population,” says Michael Engle, Washington Hospital’s senior director of Ambulatory Care Services.

“The clinic site was originally an old post office,” he explains. “It was empty for some time, but we’ve gone in and put on a whole new façade and taken it down to the shell. The entire building has

The Newark Clinic, operated by Washington Hospital and the Washington Hospital Medical Foundation, is at 6236 Thornton Ave. in Newark and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information about Washington Township Medical Foundation and its physicians, please call (510) 248-1860 or visit mywtmf.com.

been remodeled, including the interior and surrounding grounds.”

“In addition to its patient-focused team of medical staff, another major highlight of the clinic is its 900-square-foot conference center, which will be a place where the community can come for educational events,” explains Engle.

In the Event of an Emergency Living in the Bay Area, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to ignore the possibility of a major earthquake.

In addition to its role as a primary care provider, the Newark clinic has been designed to serve residents in the wake of a disaster. Built to withstand a 7.0 earthquake, the site also serves as a triage location for Newark residents in the event that access to the hospital should be temporarily cut off.

“If, in the worst case scenario, the I-880 freeway or any surrounding bridges were to collapse, residents now have access to a satellite medical location with generator capacity inside Newark,” Engle says. “This facility now allows people in our community to come to a place where medical personnel have access to a full reserve of extra supplies, including vital medications, as well as the means to provide basic medical care to residents in a true emergency.”

Engle explains that planning for the worst is a must for a community hospital serving a growing population. “Our mission is to provide care to the district, which means the entire district across the TriCity area,” Engle says.

Features of the New Clinic • Convenient location for Newark residents • Primary and urgent care services • Same day and walk-in appointments • Cooperation with local employers for occupational medicine and workers’ compensation treatment • Certified laboratory and X-ray testing • Easy freeway access and ample off-street parking

The Newark Clinic is at 6236 Thornton Ave. in Newark and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. For more information about Washington Township Medical Foundation and its physicians, visit mywtmf.com.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Major biotechnology move increases Newark’s momentum SUBMITTED BY CITY OF NEWARK Pacific Research Center in Newark has announced that a private biotechnology firm has signed a lease to occupy 220,000 sq. ft. of biotechnology lab, office and manufacturing space. This is a consolidation/relocation of space from the Palo Alto area. The move highlights a trend of companies making the move to Newark.

More than 750,000 sq. ft. of office/R&D/industrial space have opened or signed a lease in the past year.

“Newark is on a roll” Mayor Alan Nagy proudly stated.

“It is heartening to see our economic development strategy paying off. Newark has a great business environment, low fees, simple regulations, available affordable spaces, and a great location on I-880 and is just across the Bay from Palo Alto/Menlo Park,” explained Newark’s Community Development Director, Terrence Grindall.

Major activity in 2011/2012 includes: Membrane Technology and Research’s relocation to Newark from Menlo Park; they have leased a 59,500 sq. ft. facility in The Stevenson Technology Park and will open the facility this year. Membrane Technology and Research is a world leader in development and production of membrane based separation systems in the energy industry.

BioChain Inc. purchased 35,000 sq. ft. and

will open their facility in the Stevenson Technology Park soon. BioChain is a leading technology and product provider for life science research community.

Belectric USA opened its US office in Newark, occupying 27,500 sq. ft. in January 2012. Belectric is an industry leading solar power provider delivering turn-key, utility-grade solar power.

United Logistic Solutions has expanded their operations purchasing a 155,000 sq. ft. space.

They offer services in logistics, domestic distribution, order fulfillment, light production, repair and refurbishment, returns management and other value added services. They relocated from Milpitas in 2010 and now have nearly 300,000 sq. ft. of space in Newark.

Logitech will open their 263,500 sq. ft. North American headquarters in Newark’s Pacific Research Center soon. Logitech designs and produces peripherals for computers and other digital devices.

An unnamed biotechnology firm signed a lease for 220,000 sq. ft. of space at the Pacific Research Center for office, laboratories and manufacturing. They will consolidate and relocate their operations from the Palo Alto area.

“Newark is excited to welcome these vibrant additions to our business community,” says Grindall.

cials, and that, win or lose, they would do their best and have fun.

Both leagues introduced their teams as they took a lap around the bases to settle into designated positions on the field. Cheers and applause from proud family members and friends could be heard blocks away.

Members of the NCLL A’s t-ball team listen to Opening Day speeches

FALL and NCLL also announced Tournament of Champions (TOC) awards for District 14. There are currently eight leagues in District 14 including NCLL and FALL. Alan Briscoe, equipment manager and the man who threw the opening pitch for FALL, believes Little

League is important for everyone in the community.

“It’s an opportunity for the kids to get together and learn some fundamentals as well as sportsmanship,” Briscoe said. “[The kids] have a good time and play with their peers and their friends.” Briscoe has had his two sons enrolled in Little League since T-ball and they will receive their 10-year pins this year to commemorate the achievement.

Though both leagues have been around for the better part of half a century, FALL believes that they are “The Little League that could.” Sabrina Moscon, sponsorship chairman for FALL describes why she thinks this is true. “Since we are smaller, everybody knows everybody’s name,” Moscon said. “It’s more familyknit and closer than being in a bigger league, and I think that’s an advantage.”

FALL only has about 100 players enrolled this season, less than half the amount NCLL has in their league. But despite their small numbers, Briscoe agrees with Moscon about how close the members of FALL are. “It’s really a family kind of atmosphere. A lot of friendships develop from it,” Briscoe said. “Winning isn’t everything, it’s having fun and having the kids enjoy playing with other players.”

Little League is also an opportunity for players to maintain friendships despite the fact that they may attend different schools. T-ball players Jacob Espinosa and Gavin Moscon attend different school, but “we’re still best friends,” Gavin said. Both boys play for the Indians in the Fremont-American Little League.

NCLL is still accepting players for the 2012 season with a registration fee of $160 for one player and $50 for each additional player enrolled. However, the FALL closed their roster for the season. There are also a number of opportunities in both leagues for parents or fam-

ily members to get involved from snack shack duty to team coordinator positions. To find out how to be a volunteer for either league, check out www.eteamz.com/nc for Niles-Centerville or go to www.eteamz.com/fall-fremont for the Fremont-American league. Additional Little League districts, teams and volunteer opportunities can be found at www.eteamz.com.

As the dust settled and the crowds vacated the fields, players remained for the real action. That is when memories are made and, most importantly, when the fun happens. Barrs reminded the FALL crowd of this with his parting words, “We hope everyone has a good time and has fun, because that’s what it’s all about.”

He concluded with the traditional opening statement... “Let’s Play Ball!”

Local dentist receives honors SUBMITTED BY JIM STEIN Dr. Beverly Claiborne, a Fremont dentist, has just been awarded the prestigious Diamond Certified symbol after being rated highest in quality in a customer satisfaction rating performed by American Ratings Corporation.

In order to earn Diamond Certified, a local service company must apply to be rated by American Ratings Corporation (ARC) and pass each step of its twelve- step rating and certification process.

ARC pulls a random sample of past customers from the applicant’s files and surveys typically 100 customers by telephone. Most companies can’t pass the rating because a customer satisfaction survey score of greater than 90 on a 100 scale is required. In addition, ARC verifies liability and workers’ compensation insurance, state license status, complaint status, business practices, financial stability and legal judgment status. Additionally, ongoing customer satisfaction surveys are conducted to ensure the Diamond Certified Company is maintaining its high customer satisfaction.

“Our entire team is pleased to earn this prestigious award. And, it is especially gratifying because it’s based on our customers’ perception of our quality,” said Dr. Beverly Claiborne, DDS. For more information, visit www.diamondcertified.org or call 800-738-1138

AP WIRE SERVICE ADDRESS

ROUND ROCK, Texas (AP) – Computer maker Dell Inc. said Tuesday that it agreed to buy network and data security provider SonicWALL Inc. for an undisclosed sum.

Round Rock, Texasbased Dell said that SonicWALL's lineup of firewalls complements its security solutions portfolio and broadens its product lineup.

The company has more than 130 patents, registered and pending, and develops its own security products. More than 300,000 customers use SonicWALL products, including firewalls and secure remote access, along with email security, backup and recovery, Dell said.

SonicWALL was founded in 1991 and is based in San Jose, Calif.

Its 950 workers are expected to join Dell, the company said.

The deal, which is subject to customary closing conditions, was approved by the boards of both companies. It's expected to close in the second quarter of Dell's fiscal year 2013.

Dell's stock rose 11 cents to $17.07 in morning trading Tuesday.

Unfinished Business Reaffirmed vote to eliminate Library hours and Fourth of July Fireworks; library hours reduced by 12 hours per week, effective April 1, 2012. Proposed annual savings of $503,000; $428,000 from the library and $75,000 from the fireworks.

Received budget update from the City Manager and considered cost reductions in the General Fund and other funds related to RDA employees, Information Services, Police and Fire Services. Retaining in-house Information Services will save $240,000-$320,000 annually; contracting park, street and street tree maintenance services to private sector vendors is projected to save more than $2M annually. Maintaining the four vacancies in the Fire Department and five vacancies in the Police Department would save approximately $720,000 and $760,000, respectively; elimination of additional officer positions at Milpitas High School, the Great Mall and three other officer positions would save the Police Department $2.215M, an estimated overall savings of $2.93M.

Total voter support is over 50 percent threshold, but overall support is weak, only 28 percent would definitely vote yes and 28 percent would probably vote yes.

Council elected to follow FM3’s recommendation and wait until November 2012.

Ordinances Amended contract between the Board of Administration of California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) and the City Council.

Volunteers and local dignitaries joined members of the public to break ground Saturday, March 3, 2012 on a permanent tribute to the sacrifices of military men and women: the Castro Valley Veterans Memorial. The Memorial will soon occupy a prominent corner of Castro Valley

of the many generous contributions, including a $50,000 donation from the family of U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Travis M. Amsbaugh. Sgt. Amsbaugh was a Castro Valley native who passed away on September 1, 2011.

Joining Supervisor Miley at the groundbreaking were State Senator Ellen M. Corbett, State Assemblyman Bob Weickowski, Hayward City Council Member Bill Quirk, Hayward Area Recreation and Park District Director Dennis

Community Park at Lake Chabot Road and Quail Avenue. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post #9601 has been the driving force to bring the vision to reality, commemorating those who have honorably served our nation and continue to defend our freedom.

“I see this memorial as a salute to the military veterans of Castro Valley and Alameda County who have given so much to defend and protect this great nation, the United States of America,” said Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley. Supervisor Miley donated funds for part of the memorial that will signify the contribution of women, a “Rosie the Riveter” bench. His is one

Waespi and East Bay Municipal Utility District Director Frank Mellon.

The Castro Valley Veterans Memorial Committee acknowledges all of the major donors on its website at www.cvvm.info/sponsors. Committee members are: Michael L. Emerson, Patrick Flanagan, BART Board President John McPartland, Bob Pirone, Jim Uhlik, Art Benin and Mary Greenlee.

Although the committee has been successful in raising almost all of the required money, more donations are still needed. Go to: www.cvvm.info for more information and to make a tax deductible donation.

Former Alameda County Supervisor steered Agency through financial crisis/labor disputes SUBMITTED BY CLARENCE JOHNSON Mary V. King retired from AC Transit on February 29, 2012 having shepherded the bus agency through arguably its toughest financial times.

King was recruited to AC Transit in 2004 to become the Assistant General Manager for Communications and External Affairs. Five years later she was appointed to be Interim General Manager as the District struggled to stay afloat through labor strife, reduced state & federal funding and severe service cuts.

“In her capacity as Interim General Manager, Mary V. King directed the day-to-day operations of the District with exceptional leadership and business acumen, exercising financial adroitness during a time of extreme crisis by masterfully reducing District expenses while sustaining vital bus services,’’ the agency’s Board of Director said in resolution praising her tenure.

King came to AC Transit as an accomplished politician and public policy strategist. In 1988, she became the first African American woman to be elected an Alameda County Supervisor.

She was re-elected twice and served as Board President for two years. During her tenure, she authored many policies with lasting regional impact.

Prior to being elected to public office, King led the drive for a successful county tax initiative campaign (Measure B) that created new sources of funding for public transit and other transportation projects and made Alameda County one of the first “self help” counties in the State. Upon leaving office in 2001, Ms. King became a private consultant specializing in government affairs, regional housing, land-use and transportation issues.

“Mary left her profitable private consulting business… and we threw her into the crucible when we were in a deep finan-

cial crisis.’’ said AC Transit Board President Elsa Ortiz.

“She cut administrative staff and eliminated or cut executive perks. She put together an effectively run capital investment project to address severe maintenance issues. She snatched the $17M from MTC for support of services and fostered a partnership with the FTA that resulted in more grants and greater efficiencies.”

“Most importantly,” Ortiz said, “she brought in a balanced two-year budget while minimizing service cuts which would have caused pain and suffering to the residents who rely upon us to provide transportation services. This was not easy and we were lucky to have had her with us.”

Indeed, as a county supervisor, King worked to improve economic conditions and social services for lower income residents, promoting health and education and youth violence prevention programs. The

Mary V. King Health Education Center is named in her honor as part of the Eastmont Wellness Center in Oakland.

She chaired several community-based and regional committees, including the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Bay Bridge Design Task Force. She was Chief of Staff to California State Legislator, Bill Lockyer; Chief of Staff to Oakland Mayor, Lionel J. Wilson; and later an assistant to Oakland City Manager, Henry Gardner.

Among other honors, Mary has been given the “Lifetime Achievement Award” by the

Conference Of Minority Transportation Officials; the “Allen E. Broussard Memorial Award for Outstanding Humanitarianism” by the Alameda County Bar Association; the “George Moscone Memorial Award” by the American Society of Public Administration; and was named the “Legislator of the Year” in 1992 by the Association of Retarded Citizens.

“I won’t say it was always a pleasure but it has been a privilege to serve the residents of this District, in particularly those many riders who must rely on public transportation for survival,” said King, who leaves AC Transit to return to her private consulting business.

Milpitas Library to maintain seven-day service SUBMITTED BY MELINDA CERVANTES/ DEREK WOLFGRAM Funding cuts are forcing Milpitas Public Library to reduce its operation hours by 18 percent, beginning April 1. However, Santa Clara County Library District officials assure Milpitas Library patrons that they can continue to expect quality services at their library, which they have managed to keep open seven days a week.

“The Milpitas Library provides extraordinary services and I commend Library staff for looking at the best possible alternatives to keep it open every day,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Dave Cortese, District 3, where the library is located. “I am pleased to see how proactive our Library staff is to ensure residents are able to use the library and its many resources every day of the week.”

Since August 2005, the City of Milpitas has funded staff positions to extend the Milpitas Library hours at a cost of approximately $400,000 per year.

However, the economic downturn has impacted City contributions to the library and funding for extra hours is no longer possible. On February 21, the Milpitas City Council voted to discontinue funding for Library hours effective April 1.

“We are extremely grateful for the generous contributions the Milpitas Library has received from the City of Milpitas for over six years,” said Derek Wolfgram, Deputy County Librarian for Santa Clara County Library. “As the City is no longer able to sustain funding for library staff positions, we are working diligently to continue to support as many service hours as possible with the

NewPark Mall welcomes the Easter Bunny SUBMITTED BY SHERYL CRAIG NewPark Mall will welcome the Easter Bunny to his home in Center Court from March 29 to April 7, 2012. Each child visiting the Easter Bunny will receive a special gift.

There will also be a free Easter activity day on Saturday, March 31 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., with fun arts and crafts stations including decorating a bunny mask, making an Easter Bunny photo frame and a Flower Bunny magnet, perfect for dis-

resources that are available to us.”

Recently, library staff reviewed hour-by-hour usage data and conducted surveys for both Library resident and non-resident users. Staff learned that members of the Milpitas community prefer a seven-day service and consider evening hour usage very important.

“We realized that by reducing less busy morning hours three days per week, the Library could make more efficient use of its limited staff by only opening for a single work shift each day ,” said Linda Arbaugh, Milpitas Community Librarian.

“We are keeping the Library open at the most convenient times for our patrons.”

The Library will open at 1 p.m., instead of 10 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and will close at 6 p.m. on Thursdays, instead of the current 9 p.m. closing time. The new schedule will be: NEW Milpitas Library Hours (effective April 1, 2012): Monday – Wednesday: 1 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Thursday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Sunday: noon - 6 p.m.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY MATTHEW CRAFT AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP) – The headlines say the financial crisis is behind us. The Dow is back to pre-financial crisis levels. Layoffs are the slowest since the financial crisis and car sales the highest since the financial crisis.

So why are Americans still too scared to get back in the stock market?

Because all they hear is “financial crisis” Every comparison to 2008, even a comparison that's supposedly good, stirs memories of 2008. For some people, it rekindles the fear of losing a job or a house.

For others, years of retirement savings swallowed by a plunging stock market.

So say the experts in the budding field of behavioral finance. Professional investors and money managers may be baffled that Americans are shaking off the good news. But people with a background in psychology are hardly surprised.

A broad measure of the stock market, the Standard & Poor's 500 index, is up more than 20 percent from last October. The index has more than doubled since March 9, 2009, the low point for stocks during the Great Recession.

But everyday investors refuse to jump in. They pulled $19 billion from funds that invest in U.S. stocks in December, according to the Investment Company Institute, and $2 billion more in January.

“In the old days, if there was a market rally, people would call and ask to put more money in. They felt they were missing the party,” says Deborah DeMatteo, an independent wealth manager at 10-15 Associates in Goshen, N.Y. This time, investors seem more than happy to miss the party.

“Now, people call and ask, `When is it going back down?” DeMatteo says. “There's a sense of doom.”

What are they thinking? It's a question fit for a shrink.

Market psychology is still psychology, which is why Wall Street banks and investment firms pay people like Richard Peterson, a psychiatrist with a medical degree from the University of Texas, to help make sense of it.

A variety of emotions and thought processes are keeping Americans out of the stock market, Peterson and other experts say. The memory of 2008, when the Dow Jones industrial average swung wildly by hundreds of points a day, is probably No. 1.

The tumult of that year stamped itself in many people's brains. Like survivors of a devastating earthquake, they carry those events with them.

“A traumatic memory gets seared in the brain,” Peterson says.

In this case, the wound is easily irritated. News that reminds people of the financial crisis – debt problems in Europe, a sudden swing in the market – sets off the same emotions of fear or anger. Getting your fear but-

March 16, 2012

ton pushed that often is exhausting, Peterson says.

People eventually tune out to save their sanity.

“Fear is still with us,” says Meir Statman, a professor of finance at Santa Clara University in California and a leading expert in behavioral finance. “We live as if it's still 2008.”

Statman sees a few other impulses at work. One is a habit of thinking that selects an event and uses it as the basis for understanding everything else. We look at something and ask, `What is this similar to?' Statman explains.

In good times, this leads to the folly of “return chasing” – expecting an investment, sports team or pickup line to be successful simply because it proved successful in the past.

People usually do this kind of extrapolation from recent events. But Statman suspects many are using the more distant memory of 2008 because it feels closer. “I think that what's vivid in people's minds is not last year but 2008” he says.

As a result, they respond to events as if it were September 2008 and Lehman Brothers were about to collapse all over again. In this case, Statman says it's not fear that's driving people but an error of reasoning.

Last summer, for instance, a fight over raising the federal government's debt limit led Standard & Poor's to strip the United States of its top-flight AAA rating. continued on next page

The markets went wild. For the month of August, the Dow swung an average of nearly 2 percent every day.

Harvey Rowen, chief investment officer at Starmont Asset Management in San Francisco, says clients called and wanted to cash everything out. “I'd tell them, `You're going to take a loss,” he says. “And they'd say, `I don't care. I want out.'”

One client called with a demand to sell all his investments. He wanted Starmont to use the cash to buy gold bars, silver bars and Swiss francs and then cart them to his house. “We managed to talk him out of it,'' Rowen says.

Another habit that Statman sees at play is the confirmation bias. It's often used as a way to help explain the widening political divide in the U.S. between Democrats and Republicans.

Say you believe that the federal government's debts will cause the U.S. to go the way of Greece. Instead of looking for information that challenges this view, you stick to news reports that confirm your opinions.

“If you have evidence that goes against your beliefs, you dismiss it,” he says.

Statman says it seems some people are looking to confirm a “doom and gloom” view of the U.S. economy. Point out that the economy grew at a 3 percent rate in the last quarter of 2011 and they'll change the subject.

Their view, he says, is: “This country is going down the tubes.”

Astronaut visits Eastin Elementary SUBMITTED BY RICK LA PLANTE Students at Eastin Elementary School in Union City were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime “out of this world” experience. On March 9, Astronaut Rex Walheim, a mission specialist on the final flight of NASA’s

space shuttle program paid a visit to the school where he spoke at two assemblies to a total of 900 students.

Astronaut Walheim flew three missions on “Atlantis” and made five spacewalks.

March Madness ends with wild finishes

BY BIFF JONES, PHOTOS BY DON JEDLOVEC March Madness 2012, ladies fast pitch softball tourney, held this past weekend, March 10-11 at Central Park in Fremont and hosted by Ohlone College Renegades, saw plenty of action, especially in Sunday's Gold Bracket games. Saturday was pool play with 16 California Community College teams participating in four pools, A, B, C, D, of four teams each while Sunday's games would be single elimination play.

On Saturday the Renegades opened against Merced with sophomore Lauren Ermitano out of Castro Valley High School toeing the rubber. Ohlone started out like it was going to run away with an opening game victory taking an 11-3 lead after three innings. However, walks and Renegade fielding errors over the last three innings saw Ohlone escape with a 12-9 win.

Ermitano gave up six runs on six hits and three walks over the first five innings while reliever, freshman Brittany Wright, California High School, San Ramon, allowed three runs (one earned) on four walks and no hits. Renegades committed six errors during the game.

Offensively, Ermitano helped her own cause going 4/4 with a home run, four RBI's and two runs scored; sophomore center fielder Ashley Vignola,

Granada High School, Livermore, was 2/4 with a home run, four RBI's and two runs scored; and sophomore right fielder Megan Tyler, Robertson High School went 3/3 with two runs scored.

Game 2 on Saturday for Ohlone saw them fall, 3-2 to Feather River in a much better played game which was called after six innings of play because of the imposed 1 hour, 45 minute time limit. All Saturday games could not start an inning after 105 minutes provided the losing team had at least five innings of at bats. This game saw the Renegades commit just two errors while walking one and FR walked four but had no errors.

Sophomore southpaw, Katy Bihl, Newark Memorial High School, pitched all six innings giving up five hits and only one earned run. Sophomore left fielder Renelle Traylor, San Lorenzo High School, tripled in going 2/2 with a walk and a run scored. Bihl added a double.

Final game on Saturday against Gavilan was called after 4 1/2 innings based on the eigh- run mercy rule with Ohlone shutting out the Gilroy team, 80. Wright went the distance for the Renegades giving up just three hits and striking out four. However, she gave up

seven walks but was able to keep all the free passes from scoring. Sophomore catcher, Shelby Fowler, California High went 2/3 with a double, three RBI's and

and drew Pool C second place Hartnell on Sunday while Gavlian would have to face first place San Jose City.

Bihl would get the start for the Rene-

two runs scored; freshman designated player, Jamie Costa, West High School, Tracy was 2/2 including a triple, a walk, two RBI's and a run scored; Traylor was 2/3 with two RBI's; and freshman lead off hitter, Mariah Nisbet, California High walked twice and scored a run.

When Gavilan defeated Feather River, 11-3 in the last game of Pool B play, the result was that those two teams and Ohlone ended in a three-way tie for first in Pool B at 2-1. All three teams defeated Merced and beat each other. First tie breaker was total runs allowed by each team in pool play. Gavilan and Ohlone each allowed 12 runs while FR allowed 16. This meant FR ended up third and would have to play in the Silver Bracket on Sunday. To determine the first and second place teams, the second and last tie breaker would have to be used, a coin flip. Ohlone won the flip

gades on Sunday against Hartnell and the southpaw pitched a beauty. She gave up just two runs (one earned on an Ohlone error), five hits and no walks while striking out 12 of 21 outs in going the distance, with a 7-2 win. Nisbet was 3/4 with an RBI and a run scored; Ermitano 2/4 with three RBI's; Fowler, a home run; sophomore third baseman, Kaley Marden, Washington High School, a triple and a run scored; and sophomore second baseman, Sarah Ragusa, Granada, a double, two RBI's and one run scored.

Meanwhile, Fresno City College Rams, second out of Pool A after another three-way tie for first at 2-1, played College of the Siskiyous Eagles, from Weed, first out of Pool D. Siskiyous came into March Madness at 14-1, ranked number continued on page 28

Cougars knock off Padres

BY JOHN SUZA PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW In a CIF Division II quarterfinal game, Newark Memorial Cougars triumphed over the Serra Padres in spectacular fashion. Damien Banford made the winning basket with 1.3 seconds left in the game after a phenomenal dribble penetration, eluding two Serra Padre defenders, by Casey Norris. The go-ahead layup, fed by 6-1 guard Norris was a dramatic close to the contest that saw Norris score a game-high 21 points including 15 straight and a 3-point basket to end the half.

At the beginning of the game, Serra started slowly, allowing the Cougars to open a 6-point lead. Serra, with great defense and control of the middle lane, found its way back into the game and ended the half with an 8-point margin.

The third quarter was a real battle - back and fourth – as each team tried to dominate without success. Every shot counted and the score was locked up. The Cougars were tested and showed their fortitude as they would not yield. Scoring was even up to the last two seconds of the game, finally concluding with an exciting finish, the best high school basketball has to offer.

In the next round of the CIF Basketball Tournament, scheduled for March 17 in Sacramento, the 12th ranked (CA) Cougars will face the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs from San Jose, ranked number 2 in California.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD SUBMITTED BY SGT. RAJ MAHARAJ March 13 CSO Anders investigated a commercial burglary that occurred at 42968 Osgood Road (Motor Sport). The suspect(s) entered the business by breaking a window and took a flat screen television and a media server.

March 14 Officers responded to Wells Fargo Bank (39265 Paseo Padre) on a report of robbery that just occurred. The suspect, a black male adult, 25-30, wearing a black jacket, passed a note to the teller demanding money. Once the suspect obtained the cash, he fled on foot toward Walnut.

A 49 year old male walked into Chipotle heavily intoxicated and carrying a large bottle, half full of vodka. Officer Kennedy was just finishing dinner when he noticed Berg and his bottle. Berg was transported for detoxification and his bottle of vodka was poured out.

Two suspects entered the Chapel 7-11 and attempted to buy Swisher Sweets. When they realized they had no money, they tried to use the money from a donation jar. The clerk objected and the suspects fought with the clerk. The suspects fled and were not located.

At 1 a.m., officers were dispatched to Chase Bank after a cab driver called because a fare was unable to pay. The call was adjudicated. At 2:53 a.m., alarms sounded at Radio Shack (Hub). Officers responded and contacted two subjects, one of which was the fare 'absconder,' who had store property. Further investigation revealed the pair broke into Radio Shack and stole nearly $10k in electronics. Officer Valdes investigated.

A burglary occurred at an address on Shattuck Avenue between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Point of entry was the front door. Stolen items included jewelry, currency, and a purse.

On March 9, 2012, at approximately 12:39 p.m., the Milpitas Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from a citizen reporting a shooting on South Main Street. The caller indicated a subject had been shot. The citizen reported

seeing a gun and hearing the gun discharge. A witness stated the shooter was last seen wearing all black and running westbound on Cedar Way from South Main Street. Milpitas Police Officers arrived at the location within two minutes of the call and located a 17 year-old male and Lejon Rhodes to the rear of Jerry’s Deli. The first officer on scene observed the 17 year-old male removing a revolver from his waistband and throw it away; at which point

Officers responded to the intersection of Cherry Street and Central Avenue at 7:39 p.m. and contacted a subject who reported that he had been robbed. Sus-

the 17 year-old and Rhodes were detained for this investigation.

Further investigation revealed the 17 year-old, Rhodes, and an unknown suspect had met Fraser on Lonetree Court in Milpitas to purchase marijuana. During the marijuana transaction, the 17 year-old male took the marijuana without making payment and Fraser shot at him as he attempted to flee on foot. The 17 year-old and Rhodes ran to the rear parking-lot of Jerry’s Deli, the third unknown male fled on foot towards Zanker School, which was locked down during the incident for the safety of school children and staff, because it was unknown if the third suspect was armed. Fraser fled the area in his vehicle.

Zanker School was reopened within an hour. Approximately four hours later, Fraser was located at a home in San Jose and taken into custody.

The 17 year-old male was booked into the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall for carrying a concealed firearm, possession of marijuana, and providing a false name. Rhodes was released without charges and the third unknown suspect is still at large. Jamie Fraser was booked into the Santa Clara County jail for attempted murder, possession of marijuana for sale, transportation of marijuana, and for being armed with a firearm during the commission of a crime.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

SUBMITTED BY CHRIS COCHRAN The problem of drugged driving continues to rise, according to figures released today by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 30 percent of all drivers who were killed in motor vehicle crashes in California in 2010 tested positive for legal and/or illegal drugs, a percentage that has been increasing since 2006.

Drugged driving is a problem not widely recognized by the public, but increases in crashes, fatalities and injuries point out that we all must acknowledge this serious problem and work to curb it. The problem of drugged driving is growing, even while DUI fatalities have been in decline. Drugs which can impair driving are not only illegal narcotics and stimulants, but can be prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as marijuana and its synthetic substitutes. Many, when combined with alcohol, heighten the effect of both.

“You can be as deadly behind the wheel with marijuana or prescription drugs as you can with over-the-limit alcohol,” said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the Office of Traffic Safety. “The bottom line is drugs and driving do not mix.”

Drug-impaired driving is often under-reported and under-recognized and toxicology testing is expensive. Additionally, because there is no established impairment level for drugs, prosecuting drug impaired driving cases can be difficult.

With the increased awareness of this growing problem, the Office of Traffic Safety and the California Highway Patrol are working together to provide Officers statewide with specialized training to detect and apprehend drug-impaired drivers. The federally funded program, new to California and developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is called Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement

(ARIDE). In the past five months alone, more than 700 officers from police departments across the state have attended ARIDE training.

Police Departments are also being encouraged to send Officers to the most advanced drug recognition program to become Drug Recognition Experts (DRE). CHP manages the statewide program that currently has over 1,000 officers as active DRE’s – the most in the nation. Drug detection experts will be in place more often at DUI checkpoints and federally funded grant support will be used to fund operations to detect and apprehend drug-impaired drivers.

“This invaluable ARIDE and DRE training for law enforcement is the key to successfully removing drug-impaired drivers from the road, ultimately reducing the number of people killed and injured by irresponsible behavior and making our communities a safer place,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “It’s also imperative that the public realize the synergistic effect of combining alcohol with prescription or overthe-counter drugs, and the danger this presents while driving.”

Research shows drugs have an adverse effect on judgment, reaction time, motor skills and memory – critical skills for safe and responsible driving. Recently, experts at the Dalhousie University in Canada released the results of a study that found that drivers who had used marijuana within three hours of driving had nearly double the risk of causing a crash as those not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The Canadian research reviewed nine studies of more than 49,000 people involved in crashes.

In fall 2010, six cities in California conducted nighttime weekend “voluntary” roadside surveys and found that the percentage of drivers who tested positive for marijuana (8.4%) was greater than the percentage that were using alcohol (7.6%).

March Madness ends with wild finishes one in the state. In pool play on Saturday, Siskiyous did not allow a run in their three games.

Finally in the second inning, Fresno broke through the goose eggs with a home run for a 1-0 lead. However, the Eagles showed why they are ranked #1 when they answered with five runs in the last second.

Meanwhile, Fresno would keep battling, picking up single runs in the third and fifth while shutting down the Eagle bats.

Top of the seventh saw Fresno score two and tie the game at 55 which ended up sending the game into extra innings. In top nine, Fresno broke the tie to go up 6-5 and they then shut down #1 which sent the Rams against the Renegades in a Gold Bracket semi-final.

Wright would get the start

on field 3 against Fresno and right away you could see Ohlone had left their “A” game back on field 4 where they had played their previous four games. Top of the first saw Fresno load the bases on two singles and a walk, but Wright got out of it without allowing a run. In the second, the Rams scored two runs on a walk, a hit batsman and two singles. Bottom second, Renegades loaded the bases but could not score.

Finally in the third, the wheels came off for Ohlone.

Fresno scored seven runs when the Rams went single, sacrifice, triple, strike out, double, single, walk, triple, single, then three straight errors including two on one play. Score was now 9-0 and if not for being only in the third inning, it would have been game

over. Bihl relieved Wright after the walk in the third.

To Ohlone's credit, they kept battling and finally got on the board with a three-run fourth and added two in the fifth and one in the sixth while holding Fresno to one in the fifth. With the score 10-6 Fresno going into the seventh, the Renegades were still within range of a comeback if they could shut down the Rams in the top of the seventh.

With the bases loaded, two outs and no runs in, came the play of the tournament. Fresno second baseman, Kassie Sierras, hit a dribbler down the third base line. Third baseman, Marden charged the ball, caught it and flipped it to catcher Fowler as it looked like she would have had no chance to get the batter

at first. Fowler caught the ball and appeared to be touching home plate. With the bases loaded, only a force at home was required and not a tag.

5-4 after four innings. Jaguars would put up five runs in the fifth to take a 10-4 lead but again Fresno was not dead.

Rams would score one in the

Sophomore center fielder, Ashley Vignola, Granada High School, Livermore.

However, the Fresno runner then kicked the ball out of Fowler's glove and the umpire ruled the runner safe and not out on a force play. Ball then went to the back stop as a live ball and before anyone could get control of the ball, two more runners scored and the batter went to third. A following single would then score the fourth run of the inning and Fresno now had an almost insurmountable lead, 14-6, going into the bottom of the seventh.

Again, Ohlone kept battling and scored five runs in the seventh on five singles, a sac fly and a Fresno error to go down 14-11, enough for a win if not for the bizarre plate at the plate.

Gold Bracket final would be between Fresno and San Jose City Colleges. SJC jumped out to 5-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings before Fresno closed the gap to

fifth, three in the sixth and three more in the seventh for an 11-10 Gold Bracket Championship with the winning run scoring on passed ball. Solano College of Fairfield defeated Feather River, 12-1 to win the Silver Bracket.

Ohlone is now 16-6 on the year and 5-0 in Coast Conference North (CCN) league play.

Next scheduled game is Saturday, March 17, 12noon at home against CCN second place, College of San Mateo (24-3, 4-1) weather permitting.

Renegades return home vs. CC South Gavilan on Thursday, March 29 and on Tuesday, April 3 vs. CCS San Jose City.

Both games start at 3:00 p.m.

Congratulations to Ohlone Head Coach, Donna Runyon and her staff of coaches, parents and volunteers on a very well run tournament.

EARTHTALK® Dear EarthTalk: Cuba just began drilling for oil not far from U.S. shores and hopes to become a major exporter.

What ramifications does this have for the environment?

- Betsy Shaw, Troy, NY Cuba recently began drilling exploratory oil wells 30 miles off of its northern coast—and just 60 miles south of the Florida Keys. Earlier this year the Scarabeo 9 oil rig finished up a long slow journey by sea from the shipyard that birthed it in China to Cuba’s territorial waters off the capital city of Havana (the 50-year-old U.S. trade embargo on Cuba forbids such equipment going from or through the United States).

Geologists estimate that the rock formations off Cuba’s northern coast could yield anywhere from five to 20 billion barrels of oil. American foreign policy experts are concerned that Cuba’s inexperience with off-shore drilling could lead to a spill in sensitive waters not unlike the

2010 BP oil disaster. They’re also worried that Cuba could yield more political and economic power if it becomes a net exporter of oil.

Although Cuba is reportedly using state-of-the-art equipment and is working with experienced international drilling contractors, some U.S. environmental groups are still troubled: “A major oil spill in Cuban waters could devastate both coastal Cuba and the United States,” reports the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). “Florida’s $60 billion tourism and fishing industries—as well as the Dry Tortugas marine sanctuary and deepwater corals in the Southeast Atlantic—are at stake.”

Today Cuba imports half of the 200,000 barrels of oil it consumes each day from its friendly neighbor to the south, Venezuela. The other half of Cuba’s oil comes from its own two existing on-shore oil facilities. Finding significant off-shore reserves could end its dependency on Venezuela and turn Cuba

Finding significant off-shore oil reserves could turn Cuba into an oil exporter, possibly even thawing relations with a still oil-hungry U.S. Pictured: The Scarabeo 9 oil rig while still under construction in China in 2009. It is now 30 miles off of Cuba's coast and just 60 miles south of the Florida Keys.

into an oil exporter, possibly even thawing relations with a still oil-hungry U.S. Indeed, if the find is big enough, U.S.based oil firms may want in, and who knows how that will affect the U.S. embargo on trade with Cuba.

Given the environmental and political implications of Cuba’s foray into offshore drilling, EDF led a delegation to the island nation in September 2011. The goal of the delegation, which included cochair of the BP oil spill commission and former EPA Administrator William Reilly, was to assess Cuba’s plans and to share lessons learned about the risks of offshore drilling with officials there. “The trip put the spotlight on the lack of dialogue between the United States and Cuba on how to prepare and respond to an oil spill in Cuban waters,” says Lee Hunt of the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC), one of the trip’s organizers. EDF, IADC and others would like to see the Obama administration initiate direct negotiations with Cuba to ensure that sufficient environmental and safety standards are in place.

“It’s a sensitive political issue because if there were a spill, U.S. technology might be prevented from being quickly deployed due to the long-running U.S. embargo of Cuba,” reports EDF. “The United States has more than 5,000 wells in its territorial waters in the Gulf. But none are nearly as close to the Florida coast as the proposed sites off Havana.”

But with the test drilling already underway, Cuba isn’t waiting around for U.S. input. No doubt, if the exploratory wells are a success, Cuban oil will become a huge political issue.

World's tallest man may have stopped growing

AP WIRE SERVICE CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia (AP) – Thanks to treatment by researchers at the University of Virginia Medical Center, the world's tallest man may have reached his peak.

Measuring at 8-feet-3 inches (2.51 meters), 29-yearold Sultan Kosen of Turkey is listed in the 2011 Guinness World Records at the tallest living man.

Kosen visited the university in May 2010 for treatment for a disorder called acromegaly, which is usually caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland.

The Richmond TimesDispatch (http://bit.ly/AtJeHK ) reports that Kosen was placed on a new medication that could potentially help control the production of growth hormone and stop his continued growth. According to university officials, doctors in Turkey say Kosen has stopped growing.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Silicon Valley Project is a 16-mile extension of the existing BART system to San Jose, Milpitas and Santa Clara, which will be delivered through a phased approach. The first phase, the Berryessa Extension, is a 10-mile, two-station extension, beginning in Fremont south of the future BART Warm Springs Station and proceeding in the former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through Milpitas, the location of the first station, and then to the Berryessa area of north San Jose, at the second station. VTA continues project development activities for the second 6-mile phase of the project that includes a 5.1 mile-long subway tunnel through downtown San Jose, and ends at grade in Santa Clara near the Caltrain Station. Construction on the second phase of the project will commence as additional funding is secured.

SUBMITTED BY BRANDI CHILDRESS On Monday, March 12, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) received a $900M grant commitment from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Project. A “signing” ceremony was held at the San Jose City Hall Rotunda at 10 a.m. to commemorate the largest project funding milestone in VTA’s history.

FTA Deputy Administrator Therese W. McMillan presented the $900M Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA), along with the first $100M allocation. The FFGA is a multi-year contractual agreement that formally defines the project scope, cost and schedule and establishes the terms of the federal financial assistance. U.S. Congressman Mike Honda, U.S. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, along with state and local officials also attended the milestone event.

“A decade ago, I promised my constituents I would not rest until this important project receives the federal funds that it deserves and this grant agreement is a testament to the fortitude of our Silicon Valley communities and our local leaders. This is a big win for our region,” stated Silicon Valley Congressman Mike Honda, Senior Member of the House Appropriations Committee and a former Member of the House Transportation Committee.

“The support from the federal government couldn’t have come at a better time,” said VTA Board Chairperson Ken Yeager. “As gas prices soar, commuters need more transit options.”

Execution of the FFGA is the final step before construction on the 10-mile, two station BART extension can begin. A project ground-breaking is planned for April 12, 2012.

Since 2002, the FTA has worked closely with VTA to design a project that would meet the stringent criteria of the FTA New Starts

funding program. In 2011, the Berryessa Extension Project achieved several significant milestones which included advancing into the Final Design phase of New Starts, receiving a funding recommendation in the FY2012 President’s Budget, and submitting final documentation for the $900M federal funding grant.

Monday, March 12, 2012 celebrated the culmination of these milestones and receipt of the first $100M allocation.

“This major public works project will prepare Santa Clara County for future job and population growth expected in the next 25 years and provides a critical transit option to meet the demand of more and more people replacing car trips with transit trips,” said VTA General Manager Michael T. Burns. “This project is happening because of unwavering congressional support and the backing of Santa Clara County residents who have ardently supported BART Silicon Valley since 2000.”

In November 2000, a package of transit improvements known as Measure A was overwhelmingly approved by a 70.3 percent majority vote, authorizing a 30-year, 1/2 cent sales tax to construct the largest infrastructure project in Silicon Valley. In 2008, county residents passed a 1/8 cent sales tax to fund the operating and maintenance costs of the BART Extension. The two local revenue streams were critical in garnering the state and federal financial assistance to finalize the BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Project funding package.

The cost of the project is approximately $2.3 billion, which includes $900M in federal assistance, $251M in state funding and $1.179 billion from Measure A sales tax.

For more information about BART Silicon Valley, please contact VTA Community Outreach at (408) 934-2662, (TTY only) (408) 321-2330, or visit www.vta.org/bart.

Police say driver gets 3 speeding tickets in hour

Evergreen has been a part of the Newark community since 1984. Many of our neighbors may not know what we do, so let’s get back to the basics.

AP Wire Service

Evergreen refines oil. OK, so what does that mean? It means we turn used motor oil into a renewable resource indefinitely. We offer a “closed-loop” process that allows the used oil we collect to become a renewable resource forever.

Every drop of used motor oil we collect is converted back to its original state, or it’s turned into other products like fuel gas, fuel oil and asphalt. Frankly, we’re proud of this, because while it’s good to “recycle” and “reuse”, we’re actually “renewing.”

This makes us one of the first and truly green companies in our area. We were green before it became fashionable and we’re continuing to get better. Train 1, the original line for refinement, began in 1986. While it’s currently not operating, we have completed a full internal and external inspection of all vessels and equipment and are beginning to make repairs and replacements as needed. We are committed to ensuring that Train 1 is fit for service before restart.

We have met with the city’s Chief Building Inspector and the Deputy Fire Marshall of the Alameda County Fire Department to begin the permit application process. We are working closely with the department to prevent delays.

Furthermore, we continue to meet all requirements from Cal-OSHA, the Alameda County Department of Public Health, the Newark Engineering Division, the Newark Community Development Department and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Train 2, we’re proud to report, has been producing since October. Meanwhile, we’re com-

March 16, 2012

pleting projects required by the city and Alameda County Fire Department to get a final permit for Train 2. To meet our commitment to the city and to finish our projects, we will begin a two-week shutdown of Train 2 in April. We are serious about safety; we will always work with our local regulators.

Until April, Train 2 will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will continue to provide the environmentally smart products that all our customers depend on.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP), Mar 08 – Traffic officers along Interstate 84 in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge say a leadfooted driver was in such a hurry to make a court date on a meth possession charge that he racked up $2,000 worth of speeding tickets in an hour.

Police say 34-year-old Jose Romero-Valenzuela of Las Vegas, Nev., was zooming west Wednesday morning and got pulled over three times – first at 105 mph, then at 98 mph and finally at 92 mph.

Police say the last ticket appeared to have an effect. Down the road a bit, a trooper set up watch and clocked him at the limit, 65 mph.

Besides fines and penalties, police say his license could be suspended for up to 90 days if he's found guilty on the citation alleging driving in excess of 100 mph.

Police confirm he was indeed scheduled for a court appearance later Wednesday in Oregon City, south of Portland.

contemporary, traditional, glamorous, or spa-like depending on the accents used with it.

Let me give you some exam-

ples: There was the small traditional bathroom where we used white subway tiles in the shower, white hexagon tiles on the floor and white wainscoting on the walls. Accented with black toile window valance, a border of black hexagon tiles on

the floor, and an antique oak wash basin instead of a vanity cabinet, the look is both clean and fresh, but also charming and homey.

Then there was the large master bath with the white claw foot bathtub front and center, white porcelain pedestal sinks, white bead board paneling, and the large walk-in shower featuring white tiles in three different shapes and patterns. Accented with a rich lilac wall paint above the bead board, this bathroom is just plain beautiful, oozing vintage charm.

One of my other favorites is a recent project—a stunning black and white and gray guest

bath. White 9x12” wavy field tiles in the shower are accented with three bands of black glass tile mosaic. The vanity top is black granite, and the vanity cabinet is painted gray. The shower floor is made of black river rocks, and the rest of the bathroom floor is large 12x24 black porcelain tile. The highcontrast black and white color scheme is striking and contemporary. And the addition of the gray keeps it from looking too harsh. It’s a very sharp look.

White can also add a touch of glamour. I am just finishing up this master bath project: white quartz counter tops with a touch of silver sparkle, all white 9 x 12 field tiles in the shower and surrounding the spa tub; the accent is a band of 4 x 4 glass tiles backed with silver leaf, and the walls are a very

soft light blue. With polished chrome fixtures, and the sun shining on the silver leaf, this

The new bath project I am just starting will have white quartz countertops, large white Carrara marble tiles on the floor, and will feature tile mosaic in light green, white, and clear and frosted glass. It will have a very spa-like feeling, soothing and relaxing, and light and airy.

White is an extremely versatile color that takes on a variety of looks depending on which materials you pair with it. If you are planning a bath remodel, look at the myriad choices of white tiles, glass, quartz, marble and even granite. You can design the bath of your dreams.

mont Education Foundation (FEF) volunteers are now working feverishly, gearing up for their 13th Annual AfterSchool Band Telethon to be held March 20-22.

Students in Fremont are fortunate to have the support of this local non-profit

organization, whose mission is to raise funds, on their behalf, for a variety of needs and interests. An independent organization established in 1991, FEF works closely with, but is separate from, the Fremont Unified School District.

Via its telethon, FEF raises funds for the After-School Band program to provide 25 weeks of instructional time, from mid-October to late April, for interested 4th, 5th and 6th grade students at Fremont’s 27 elementary schools. Donations such as these are essential to the continuation and success of this program as the District is unable to provide any funding.

Co-chairs of this year’s telethon team are the dynamic trio of: FEF Vice President, Debra Watanuki; Horner Jr. High teacher, Kathleen Caine; and Band instructor, Denise Whitney.

“The program has grown with a 30 percent increase in participation of students signed up and over 1,100 are now in the Band program,” says Watanuki.

“It’s even more important to meet our fundraising goal to take even more children into the After-School Band Program. Some schools have waiting lists, but we do not have enough money for additional classes/sections. We have phenomenal instructors who have accommodated more students, beyond capacity, to teach them,” she explains.

March 16, 2012

Throughout the three evenings of the telethon, volunteers will be calling the community to solicit donations and support for the After-School Band program.

So, be sure to answer your telephones!

Also, the public is encouraged to volunteer for the phone bank and high school students can earn credit for community service hours. If interested, please contact Debra Watanuki at: dwatanuki@fremont-education.org to sign up or to get more information.

Phone banks will be situated at three locations: the Fremont Unified District Teachers’ Association (FUDTA) office, the Mason-McDuffie/Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate office and in the EdTV studio where a “celebrity” phone bank will be manned by City Council continued on next page

and School Board members, principals, the Fremont Superintendent Dr. Morris and Staff, commission members and business leaders, among others.

“Donations are truly appreciated, as we are hoping to raise $140,000 which is the cost to run the Band program for the year,” says Watanuki.

Several months ago, Wells Fargo Bank donated a $30,000 grant to FEF, whose Board then voted to allocate $18,900 from the amount towards the AfterSchool Band Program. Besides Wells Fargo, other major Telethon sponsors as of press time include Allegro Music, Niles Rotary, and C&L Music.

The Tri-City Voice Newspaper is the Telethon’s media sponsor.

Acting as hosts for the Telethon will be local notables KK Kaneshiro and Rick Geha, who will introduce the musical guests providing entertainment in the EdTV studio. Among those scheduled to appear are: Brookvale Elementary School Band, Mission San Jose Elementary School band and Daniel Dalarossa of Choro (Brazilian) Music.

Another way to help the band program is through the

donation of new or gently used musical instruments, to replace student inventory. So, look through your boxes or in closets at home, for unused workable instruments gathering dust.

Fremont’s young band students, who are required to provide their own instruments for the classes, could put these to great use. Please visit the FEF website www.fremont-education.org if you can help in this way.

The result of all the volunteer and public support will be

apparent, beginning in April, when the Band students conduct their Attendance Area (District) Concerts. “These are open to the public to experience, see and hear the progression of the students’ musicianship,” adds Watanuki.

Remember to answer your phones and donate. Your generosity will be much appreciated by the students!

Legislation to help lower higher education costs SUBMITTED BY ANDREW LAMAR Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-San Leandro) has introduced two bills designed to help lower the costs of higher education for students.

“The cost of higher education has skyrocketed in recent years, making it tougher for students from low- and middle-income families to afford college,” Corbett said. “These two bills are simple steps California can take to help lower the cost of financing a college education and buying textbooks.”

Senate Bill 1289 requires colleges and universities to provide basic information about private loans on financial aid materials and clearly distinguish between private and federal loans in financial aid packages offered to students.

The bill directs institutions to inform students, who are

awarded private loans, about the terms of the loan, including whether the interest rate is fixed or variable, the fees associated and how the student’s credit rating impacts the rate.

This information will help students make better decisions about loans and find the most cost-effective way to finance their education.

The second bill, Senate Bill 1539, requires publishers of textbooks used in higher education to inform purchasers of the differences in the textbooks from previous editions and also of all the products they offer on the same topic.

This information would let professors and students know whether purchasing an expensive new edition is necessary for a class or if a less expensive alternative, such as a previous edition or a different book, would suffice.
