to this recognition, Vierra previously won the Miss Teenage California title in May 2011, as a prelude to nationals. During a year of preparation, the energetic contestant performed community service at both Oakland’s Children Hospital

and the Cancer Prevention Institute of California.

Ms. Vierra was the national winner, and a deserving one.

Miss High School America Pageant Director, Amanda Patterson, described Vierra as bright, articulate and a dedicated community volunteer who captivated the judges’ hearts.

The week of the pageant was a whirlwind of activity including a tour of the Alamo, a visit to Sea World and numerous public events. The competition itself was comprised of several categories: fun fashion, evening gown, interview/ resume, and on-stage questions for the top five contestants. Patterson recounted the benefits for the winner - a $10,000 college scholarship plus a generous wardrobe stipend.

As Miss High School America, Vierra began a year of service, traveling around the nation with stops in Florida, Arkansas, and Washington, D.C. Vierra, a 16-year old junior at James Logan High School in

Union City is an honor student taking Advance Placement classes. The energetic teenager also works as a Student Athletic Trainer at Logan, serves as captain of her track and field team and runs cross-country. On the academic side, Vierra’s favorite subject is history. Currently she plans to major in International Relations in college, but other choices intrigue her too, so in the future, her major course of study remains open.

Special Olympics has been of special interest to Bianca since her freshman year; she helped coach the track team.

She stated that she loves it and says, “I don’t see it as volunteer work at all; it’s more like having fun exercising with friends.”

Working with these athletes has taught her so much and she “feels blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such great athletes.”

Philosophically Vierra follows her credo: “Life is a stage… always remember to wear your invisible crown!”

Tri-City Voice Newspaper Needs Your Help There has been fantastic community support We qualify for adjudication and have filed to go to court.

The bad news is the Bay Area News Group/MediaNews has filed to stop us again and they have filed to change the judge.

The Bay Area News Group MediaNews is trying to convince the Judge not to let us go to court. Bay Area News Groups opposition is based on maintaining a financial monopoly.

We need the community to go to court to observe and show support for Tri-City Voice.

We will give you the court information as soon as we get it.

Qualifications to become a “Newspaper of General Circulation” are quite simple. A portion of the California Government Code that outlines one method of “adjudication” is Section 6000.

Tri-City Voice easily meets all of these requirements. The code states: A “newspaper of general circulation” is a newspaper published for the dissemination of local or telegraphic news and intelligence of a general character, which has a bona fide subscription list of paying subscribers, and has been established, printed and published at regular intervals in the State, county, or city where publication, notice by publication, or official advertising is to be given or made for at least one year preceding the date of the publication, notice or advertisement.

Listed in order, the following are the requirements…

1) Distribute news of general interest…TCV qualifies 2) Have a valid paid subscription list…TCV qualifies 3) Printed and published in the City of Fremont for at least one year…TCV qualifies That’s it! Those are the requirements under Section 6000 to become a Newspaper of General Circulation.

SUBMITTED BY MARY M. ANDERSON

I

consider myself to be a dignified senior, but not long ago I caught myself “plopping” into my favorite chair… not sitting down carefully and properly, the way I did when I was younger, but actually plopping!

When did I start doing that? And what’s worse, I found myself trying to get “momentum” in order to get up from my chair! You know, sticking my head out, rocking back and forth until I got the momentum I needed to actually propel myself to my feet. Exactly what did I think I was doing?

The old rule, use it or lose it came to mind. I remembered reading about the free Fall Prevention program at LIFE ElderCare so I gave them a call and learned more about the program. Fall prevention isn’t only about learning to keep your balance while standing – it’s about developing skill in all the ways we move our bodies in order to maintain our safety and mobility as we get older.

Barb, a certified fitness trainer, came out to the house and met with me. Oh she was fun to talk to. She told me that I needed to develop more strength in my legs in order to sit down and stand up properly. She created a custom exercise routine and had it sent to my doctor for approval. Then LIFE ElderCare assigned student nurses to come to my home once a week for 11 weeks. I was shown exercises to improve my posture, sitting, standing and walking and how to do them properly. Over time, with a little commitment and practice on my part, I taught myself to ease to the edge of my seat and stand up using my muscles. Now when I sit, I use my muscles to gently ease myself down into my chair. So, no more plopping! Dignity restored!

If you’re a senior in the Tri-City area of Fremont, Newark and Union City and are interested in improving your balance and preventing falls, call Sandy at LIFE ElderCare 574-2087 to enroll in the free Fall Prevention program.

Your favorite chair will thank you!

P.S. LIFE ElderCare's in-home exercise program is offered at no cost to homebound seniors age 60 and older. In addition, you'll receive a free home safety assessment, minor home modifications and a comprehensive medication review. These combined measures may help decrease your possibility of a bad fall. If you are concerned about falling, doing fall prevention exercises can make all the difference!

The Bookworm

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.

Your boss can be such a tyrant.

He makes you labor extra hours; in fact, he thinks it’s natural that work has consumed your life. She’s a workaholic and believes you are, too. He’s obsessed with the biz, hopes you’re the same and by the way, he’s your spouse, so now what?

How does one survive when half of a marriage embraces entrepreneurship but that half isn’t you? What do you do when you didn’t sign on for workaholism? Find out by reading “For Better or For Work” by Meg Cadoux Hirshberg.

Your spouse has a dream of being his own boss. He’s filled out reams of paperwork, commandeered a corner of the basement, and quit his “day job” to throw himself into the endeavor.

This, of course, affects you, your family, and your bank-book, not necessarily in that order.

So when an “entrepreneurial business sucks the entire family into its vortex” and credit cards are maxed on something you fear may fail, how do you cope? How can you trust, remain supportive, and keep the faith?

First of all, says Hirshberg, expect challenges.

Businesses, like babies, need constant nurturing (although probably for a longer time). Work and home will overlap (especially if you work for the biz, too) and you’ll have disagreements, but remember that there are “no don’t-go-to-bed-angry policies” in your new HR manual.

Always, always communicate. Decide how much stress can you both tolerate, and how much risk. Where will the money come from, and are you prepared to ask relatives (a whole ‘nother stress-source) for funds?

Be willing to set limits. While it’ll be impossible to avoid bringing work home, non-work activities are important, too. Continue to fairly divvy up childcare and household chores; know when to dumb down the smartphone; and if yours is a home-based business, remember that the kids live there, too.

Finally, says Hirshberg, be prepared for surprises. Don’t hide resentments. Watch for fissures in the marriage and talk things out. Sketch out a dissolution plan, even if you’re not thinking along those lines, because it’s “easy to fall in love with” an entrepreneur and just as easy to fall out.

If ever there’s been a must-read for starting a business, this one’s it – but if you’re the starter, “For Better or For Work” is not for you.

Using interviews and her own experiences as the wife of a business-builder, author Meg Cadoux Hirshberg shows a keen understanding of what a spouse goes through when married to an entrepreneur. What’s really great is that Hirshberg “tried to examine every major area where entrepreneurship and domestic life intersect…” and in doing so, she gives non-entrepreneurial spouses food for thought and ways to steel themselves for what’s surely to come. That’s beneficial beyond belief.

This book is honest, it’s filled with examples, it has talking points at the end of each chapter, and if you’ve hitched your star to a future business star, then you absolutely need it. For richer and for poorer, “For Better or For Work” can only help. c.2012, Inc. Original $23.95 U.S. & Canada 254 pages

Calif. high-speed rail plan still vague

BY JULIET WILLIAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), – The state's nonpartisan analyst says the latest proposal to build a $68.4 billion high-speed train system linking Northern and Southern California is still too vague.

The Legislative Analyst's Office on Tuesday recommended that lawmakers not approve funding this year.

The analyst called the funding plan highly speculative and said ``important details have not been sorted out.''

The latest business plan trimmed the cost from an estimated $98 billion last year, but leaves it well above the $45 billion estimate given to voters in 2008 when they

approved selling nearly $10 billion in bonds.

The LAO recommends that lawmakers reject Gov. Jerry Brown's request to start selling $2.6 billion in bonds to start construction.

SAVE Executive Director Rodney Clark will speak, staff members will discuss their work, and a SAVE client will share her experiences. There will also be a question and answer period. Lunch is provided.

Open Doors is not a fundraiser, but strictly a time to gain a broader understanding of the services that SAVE provides. Meet staff members and other SAVE supporters while learning all that this organization does for the community.

Fremont Police Department Presents Free Seminar About Cyber Bullying, Digital Safety

S

o much of our daily life revolves around the Internet and wireless technology—status updates, text messages, tweets. And the same is true for many children and teenagers. However, as the Internet and technology have evolved, so have the means to abuse them, raising the question: how do we protect kids and teenagers from a range of digital threats, from cyber bullying to online predators?

Next Monday, April 23, from 6 to 8 p.m., Fremont Police Department Sergeants Jim Koepf and Gregg Crandall will present a special Health & Wellness seminar focusing on cyber bullying and digital safety in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West building) across the street from Washington Hospital in Fremont.

The Internet has changed the way people interact, and the schoolyard bullying that many parents remember from their own childhood has changed, according to Sgt. Crandall.

“Back in my day and my parents’ day, two kids got in a beef, and they fought on the playground—and that was the end of it,” he says. “It’s different today. The Internet has grown to be a monster if it’s not used for what it’s supposed to be used for—to stay in contact with friends or relatives— when it comes to social media. Myspace started it all, and now Facebook. We’ve solved so many cases off of Facebook, from playground brawls to gang issues.

“The lure of the Internet when using it for bad things is being anonymous.”

Lucy Hernandez, Operations Coordinator for the Community Health Resource Library at Washington Hospital, who was responsible for organizing the upcoming talk, points out that cyber bullying can have long-term consequences. continued onpage 17

“Bullying in addition to cyber bullying can lead adolescents to depression and other psychological problems,” she notes. “In some cases, cyber bullying has led students to substance abuse, violence, and even suicide. The effects of bullying can last a lifetime; therefore, such behavior should be dealt with during developmental stages.”

Sgt. Crandall says that in the past he and Sgt. Koepf—who serves as the department’s School Resource Officer—worked together as part of a taskforce on sexual assault and child abuse in connection with Sunnyvale Police Department. After Sunnyvale’s department put together a public service address about Internet safety, geared toward parents and their kids, he and Sgt. Koepf got permission to adapt the presentation for community members in the Tri-City area.

“The presentation that we do talks about not only cyber bullying but also taking advantage of someone online,” Sgt. Crandall says. “Fremont Police Department has been involved in solving many cases where we’ve shown up at somebody’s house at 11 p.m., and a girl is in her room with a laptop and the Internet talking about suicide because somebody bullied her online, or somebody said to her, ‘If you don’t help me cheat, I’m going to say something bad about you.’”

Sgt. Crandall says it’s easy for predators to take advantage of kids and teenagers online, and the seminar will address steps to take for parents and their children to protect themselves.

“We talk about things like making sure that kids have everything set to private when they’re using Facebook,” he says. “For instance, why do you have to put up your birthday and school you go to for everyone to see? If I’m a bad guy, all I have to do is look at their information online and show up at their softball game.

“Unfortunately, as law enforcement, we have to think like this to keeps kids safe.”

Sgt. Crandall says that next week’s talk is geared toward anyone in the community with access to the Internet—including kids, parents, and even those with a school-age niece or nephew.

“The seminar takes an interactive approach, and we’ll send everybody away with a family contract, which is a one-page ‘I will do this; I won’t do that’ agreement that family members can sit down and fill out and put it on the refrigerator,” he says. “We’re never going to be able to catch all the online predators, but if we can save one kid from the effects of cyber bullying or online predation, then we’ve done our job.”

Hernandez adds that teachers, administrators, and parents should be aware of behavior changes in students who have been bullied or harassed.

“Many adolescents have a digital life, and for many adults, social networking sites are a whole new and unfamiliar world, thus making it difficult to identify and manage the effects of cyber bullying among their students,” she says. “Additionally, many adolescents may have trouble reading social signs and do not know what they are doing is hurtful. This seminar will educate school officials and parents on the warning signs of cyber bullying and demonstrate to adolescents its long-lasting negative consequences.”

Taking Online Safety Seriously To find out more about digital safety, including identifying and preventing cyber bullying, join Sgts. Crandall and Koepf next Monday, April 23, from 6 to 8 p.m., in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West building) across the street from Washington Hospital in Fremont.

EARTHTALK®

E - THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGAZINE

Dear EarthTalk: I understand that mining was just banned in the Grand Canyon and environs. Why is that an important victory for the environment?

- Michael McAllister, Reno, NV Yes, in January 2012 Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced that the federal government was prohibiting new mining claims for the next two decades across more than a million acres of public lands surrounding Grand Canyon National Park.

In the face of increased uranium mining in the area, environmental advocates have been pushing for the prohibition to stave off the industrialization of the iconic wild lands flanking the park, fearing that

new roads, mines, exploratory drilling, power lines and truck traffic would compromise the natural experience most visitors seek, let alone directly pollute and alter the region’s fragile ecology. Pre-existing claims can continue to operate in the parcels in question, but they will have only about a tenth of the surface impacts and a third of the water usage of what mining in the area would cause without the ban on new claims.

“The Grand Canyon’s watershed is a complex groundwater flow system that extends miles north and south of the National Park’s boundary,” reports the non-profit Wilderness Society. “If contaminated by uranium mining, those aquifers would be impossible to clean up—a point acknowledged by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.” The group adds that the aquifers in question feed the Grand Canyon’s springs and creeks, which provide habitat for up to 500 times more species than adjacent uplands, including threatened, endangered and even endemic species found only in the national park.

“By industrializing the Grand Canyon region and risking permanent pollution of its soil and water resources, uranium mining would also threaten the Southwest’s robust tourism economy—for which Grand Canyon National Park is the primary eco-

nomic engine,” says the Wilderness Society, adding that the outdoor recreation business in Arizona each year supports 82,000 jobs, generates some $350 million in state tax revenue, and stimulates about $5 billion in retail sales and services.

As far as environmentalists are concerned, the Interior Department’s decision couldn’t have come any sooner, with mining companies champing at the bit to open up over 700 new uranium mining sites and exploration projects on the By prohibiting disputed lands. By halting further mining in the this development, the U.S. Grand Canyon, the government is effectively U.S. government is protecting more than effectively protecting more than 1,300 1,300 acres from surface acres from surface disturbance and preventdisturbance and ing the diversion and popreventing the tential pollution of over diversion and 300 million gallons of prepotential pollution of over 300 million cious fresh water from the gallons of precious region’s aquifers. fresh water from “The Interior Departthe region’s aquifers. ment’s decision on this ban reinforces the role the agency should play in managing our public lands by evaluating the various uses in the region and safeguarding fragile lands from permanent damage,” concludes the Wilderness Society.

Of course, the mining and uranium industries in the U.S. are not lying down so easily. In February the National Mining Association, a trade group representing the interests of the U.S. mining industry, filed suit in federal court to try to overturn the prohibition.

While the challenge works its way through the legal system, environmentalists can breathe easy as the ban remains in effect. But only time will tell how long they can keep resource extractors at bay in and around our national parks, especially in light of the lucrative revenues that can be made from uranium mining, logging and other destructive practices.

The Wall Street heretic who called Apple's swoon

BY BERNARD CONDON AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), – He calls himself an “Apple fanboy,” owns four iPads and two iPhones, follows the company obsessively and predicts it will keep turning blockbuster profits. But whether you should own the stock is another matter.

He says it's just not worth it.

No one is sure why Apple's stock finally stopped rising last week, but you might point a finger at Walter Piecyk, a veteran analyst who apparently has uncanny timing when it comes to issuing critical reports on hot companies.

After Piecyk published a bold attack on Apple last week, the stock fell five days in a row, wiping out 10 percent of the company's market value, or $53 billion – about what the most optimistic projections say Facebook is worth.

As if anticipating the drop, and perhaps the hate mail, Piecyk listed a dozen Apple products he owns, and why his family loves them, in his report April 9. He titled the section: “Am I an Apple Hater?”

“It's not about the products,” Piecyk said in an interview Tuesday, as the stock finally broke its losing streak. “It's whether the stock discounts all the risks.”

Piecyk thinks one big risk is that Apple could have a harder time selling iPhones if phone companies stop subsidizing most of the $600 purchase price for customers who trade in old models, as they have in the past.

He noted that AT&T has stopped paying for upgrades of iPhones for customers in two-year contracts. Piecyk expects Apple to sell 27.5 million iPhones this quarter, down from 33 million the three months before.

But the details of his argument seemed to matter less than his decision to remove Apple from his list of “buy” stocks.

In the heavily bullish analyst community, it was a heretical move. When Piecyk published the report, titled “Downgrading Apple to Neutral,” trader blogs lit up with criticism – and some praise, as much for his courage as for his views.

Of the 48 analysts who cover Apple, eight have a “hold” on the stock, according to FactSet, a provider of financial data. No one rates it “sell.”

Whether everyday investors were even aware of Piecyk's report is unclear, and how much it had to do with the sell-off is impossible to determine.

Others have pointed to a federal investigation into how Apple and publishers set the prices for ebooks, and rumors that the company will launch a smaller version of the iPad that might hurt sales of higher-priced models.

Then there is the easiest, perhaps best, explanation.

“I think it was due for profittaking,” said Shaw Wu, an analyst at brokerage Sterne Agee. “The stock has gone vertical.”

Apple traded at about $100 in March 2009. It climbed steadily for three years and reached $405 at the end of 2011. Then it really took off – a gain of more than 50 percent in three months. continued on page 29

Email from wife's account shadows Calif. treasurer

BY DON THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), – California state treasurer Bill Lockyer is used to the public spotlight. Just not like this.

After a political career spanning four decades, Lockyer is drawing attention not for his job but for his marital troubles, his wife's substance abuse and her claim that she was roughed up by an ex-boyfriend at a motel room.

And with each new development, the story has taken ever stranger turns.

An email last week that appeared to be sent from Nadia Lockyer, herself a promising San Francisco Bay area politician, went to a newspaper, accusing her husband, a former state attorney general, of supplying her with drugs – a charge he denies.

“I simply can't bear this any longer. Goodbye to everyone,” the

note read. The newspaper, fearing for her safety, called police.

Nadia Lockyer, 40, didn't harm herself. Federal and state authorities will not say if they're investigating the drug allegation, but the state attorney general's office took over the probe of the incident involving her ex-boyfriend.

Despite it all, the 70-year-old Lockyer has “remained focused on doing the job he was elected to do,” said his spokesman, Tom Dresslar.

The saga, nevertheless, has been a distraction for an office that oversees tens of billions of dollars in bond sales and other state investments. And it threatens to imperil not only Nadia Lockyer's political future, but tarnish one of the state's longest serving political figures.

“It's hard to follow this story and not think there's something very disturbing going on with her,” said Bruce Cain, a University of California, Berkeley political science professor.

April 20, 2012

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Bill Lockyer and Nadia Lockyer, a public interest attorney, got married in April 2003 and have an 8-year-old son, Diego. She is four years younger than Lockyer's adult daughter, Lisa, from a previous marriage.

They live in Hayward, roughly 15 miles southeast of Oakland. In November 2010, she won a seat on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.

Her husband transferred about $1.5 million from his campaign committee to hers, enabling her to run an aggressive campaign.

Nadia Lockyer reportedly considered running for the state Assembly before her marriage, then switched to a bid for supervisor.

“Her future took a very fast rise, and you have to acknowledge that the money bought her exposure,” said Larry Gerston, a political science professor at San Jose State University.

Yet the couple's romance is the sort of thing that has dogged Bill Lockyer since he first won a seat in the state Assembly in 1973.

“It's stuff like that that's kept him from running for governor or U.S. Senate. He's said outrageous things, led an unconventional personal life. I think he's stayed at the level he's stayed because if there's intense scrutiny on him, people might find out,” Cain said.

Still, Lockyer has been one of California's most influential, if lesser known, Democrats. Described as mercurial and blunt, he has served as attorney general twice. And in his 2010 re-election TV advertisement for treasurer, he promised voters “straight talk, no bull(hash)(asterisk)+!”

Lockyer is now preparing to seek

the state controller's office in 2014, when term limits will push him out of the treasurer's office.

But his personal life seems to be unraveling, along with his wife.

Nadia Lockyer had substance abuse problems and went to a rehab facility in 2010 within a few weeks of her election. There, she met and began an affair with Steve Chikhani, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

In February, she claimed Chikhani, whom she was no longer seeing, assaulted her in a Bay Area-hotel room.

The alleged assault happened days before she checked herself into a treatment center to recover from her injuries and a chemical dependency.

The Mercury News published photographs of her bruised forehead and neck.

She said the she and her husband took the photos two days after the alleged assault. No charges have been filed.

She later returned to her position, apologizing and saying that she was “glad to be back on my feet.”

As recently as last month, the couple spent a few days apart, with Nadia Lockyer staying at a hotel, Dresslar said. The spokesman also confirmed reports in the Mercury News that Bill Lockyer went to the hotel to get receipts for his wife's stay.

“As we speak, they are” living together, Dressler said.

And then, last week, the email was sent to the Mercury News.

“I cannot bear the torture of Steve Chikhani's harassment in my life any longer,” according to a message from her personal account. “My son has suffered far too much and his harassment is now unbearable,” it read. “I am the

victim of a violent crime – yet he is still free and we suffer.”

She added: “Bill bought and gave me drugs years before meeting Steve, then called me crazy when I sought help.”

She later told a Bay Area News Group reporter that she never intended to harm herself but had planned to leave town to escape from Chikhani.

She wrote part of the email, she told the reporter, but claimed the portion accusing her husband had been added by someone else.

Neither Nadia Lockyer nor her staff returned telephone messages seeking comment.

Adrienne Dell, Chikhani's attorney, said he never assaulted Nadia Lockyer, isn't harassing her now despite her claim in the email and hasn't hacked into her email account. He has been in a residential treatment facility for nearly two months.

Chikhani only has limited, supervised access to telephones and computers, she said. He also does not have any knowledge that the elder Lockyer provided his wife with drugs, Dell said.

“I think she was distraught and, when people are distraught, they do things that they don't ordinarily do,” Dell said.

Aside from the damaging disclosures of drugs, alcohol and an extramarital affair, the Lockyers have both been harmed by the haphazard way she has responded, said Gerston, the political analyst.

“It's a sad event,” he said. “There's no winner in this.”

PG&E pays $70M for deadly Calif. pipeline blast AP WIRE SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO (AP), – Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has paid $70 million in restitution for the California pipeline explosion that killed eight people in a San Francisco suburb in 2010.

San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane announced the city received the payment on Friday in a statement.

Ruane says the money will be managed by a nonprofit organization that will use the funds to help the

community recover from the Sept. 9, 2010, blast, but that process could take a year.

The San Francisco-based utility previously set up a $100 million fund to support emergency needs in the aftermath of the explosion, which also destroyed 38 homes in the bedroom community.

PG&E faces many millions in fines in numerous legal proceedings tied to the blast that are currently before the California Public Utilities Commission.

Logan participated in this same tournament last season and came home with second place, but returned thirsty for more this season.

The Logan Colts' first game was against Carson High School, which Logan won 6-3. The first inning was a noisy one as both teams bats could not be silenced.

Moreau Catholic and Washington High Schools went head-to-head on the courts in men's volleyball on April 17, but only one could come out victorious. The first game had some great kills and assists from both sides, but in the end, Moreau won 25-20. The next game showed a fiercer Washington team as they took the game 25-15 to each school a win under their belt heading into the third game. Despite their efforts, however, Washington yielded the third game to Moreau with a 25-17 score. The final game was the last hope for Washington to tie everything up, but alas they lost the final game as well 25-21 to Moreau.

Moreau's players gave a great game with Marcus Coronel walking away with 10 kills and 16 digs.

Teammate Conan True claimed eight kills, three aces and two digs during the game, and Rigo Carvajal finished with eight kills, two digs and three blocks.

Nick Kinast, also from Moreau, ended the game with nine kills, three aces and six digs. Washington's Balaj Bulhari walked away with an astounding 28 assists while teammate Brennan Moore landed nine kills and 20 digs. Also from Washington, Anant Gill ended the game with 19 kills and six blocks.

However, Carson yielded two runs to Logan giving them the final say with the score as the rest of the game went by scoreless.

Next, the Colts took on the Carmel Padres and came out 4-2, victorious again. Logan was the first to draw blood scoring two runs in the first inning. The Colts scored yet again at the bottom of the third and fourth innings with one run each. The Padres were silent until the fifth inning, where the managed to earn two runs.

The Colts scored another run at the bottom of the third and yet another at the bottom of the fifth inning. Newark was unable to retaliate and the game ended in a 5-1 victory for Logan.

However, Newark would not allow the game to be a shutout and squeaked in a run in the fifth inning, losing 3-1 to the Colts.

Logan's final game of the tournament was against Spanish Springs, whom they lost to last season at the same tournament. Both teams played tough, and the tension accumulated until finally a run was scored by Spanish Springs at the bottom of the fourth inning.

However, it wasn't until the top of the sixth inning that Logan was able to respond with two runs of their own, but those two runs were enough to squeak out a 2-1 win over Spanish Springs Scores submitted by Amy McNamara

With one game under their belt, American went into the second game confident, and they came out with a 25-14 win.

Though the majority of the games had been won, there was still one more to be played. Despite a good effort by Castro Valley, American won 25-12 to complete the victory trifecta and increase their MVAL record to 4-2.

SUBMITTED BY STEVE BURMASTER The James Logan men's volleyball team defeated San Leandro on April 11 in three games on their home court. The first game was a slaughter by James Logan ending in a 25-7 score. San Leandro came back in the second game, but their efforts were not enough; they lost that game as well 25-18. With the first two wins going to James Logan, the third game was clearly within their sights. Logan also won the third game 25-16 securing the match win. It was nice to see a lot of different people playing together on their home court in front of a very vocal and supportive crowd. All 13 players had significant playing time during the course of the match and everyone contributed to the win. Next week Logan will be playing MVAL opponent Castro Valley on April 19.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD APRIL 17 Officers were dispatched to a report of an automobile burglary at the Starbucks (Mohave).

Officers not only responded to this report, but they deployed to several other Starbucks in the city in anticipation of additional auto burglaries (last week officers discussed a recent series of auto burglaries in which the suspects strike multiple Starbucks locations within a short time period).

Officers also had a good suspect vehicle description. Officer Perry responded to the Starbucks (Mowry/Farwell). He noticed a suspicious vehicle (similar to the suspect vehicle description) drive into the lot. The occupants began looking into parked vehicles. Officer Perry maintained surveillance and established a perimeter. After loitering in the area for several minutes and acting extremely suspicious, the suspect vehicle exited the parking lot. A high risk vehicle stop was conducted and the occupants were detained. Officers ultimately discovered and collected stolen property from the initial auto burglary (StarbucksMohave). Three suspects were arrested. Officer Stone was the primary investigating officer.

Officers were dispatched to an in-progress brandishing call. A witness from inside the liquor store at 3100 Mowry Ave. called to report that two males were arguing and shoving one another, and one had a knife. Officers arrived within minutes and sorted it out. In the end, Reginald Nunn went to jail for being drunk in public.

Unwanted prescription

drug drop-off SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD On April 28, the Fremont Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners.

In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Four days after the first event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like the Fremont Police Department and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

Dispatcher honored SUBMITTED BY SGT. RAJ MAHARAJ, MILPITAS PD On April 13, Milpitas Police Department Dispatcher Shannon Cuciz was honored at this year’s Santa Clara County Public Safety Communications Managers Association (PCSMA) recognition brunch as Dispatcher of the Year. PSCMA was formed over 26 years ago by Communications Managers and Supervisors when they realized the need to improve networking, communication and training among agencies in Santa Clara County.

Shannon began her career as a Dispatcher with the Milpitas Police Department in April of 1993. In the past year, Shannon became a new Communications Training Officer and Tactical Dispatcher. As a Tactical Dispatcher,

Shannon recognized the need for better communication between Tactical Dispatchers, SWAT, and our Crisis Negotiation Team, so she recommended every dispatcher be trained as a Tactical Dispatcher, which is in the beginning stages of implementation.

In March 2011, Shannon was selected to be a trainer of new dispatchers and recently had the opportunity to offer her knowledge and experience to a trainee. In addition to training, Shannon reviewed the training program and manual, which led to numerous suggestions to improve the dispatch training program and manual.

We congratulate Shannon Cuciz on an exceptional year and the recognition she received from PCSMA for being our 2011 Dispatcher of the Year!

Safely dispose of unused prescription drugs SUBMITTED BY CMDR. BEN HORNER, UNION CITY PD Union City Police and the City of Union City, in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 28, is hosting a drop-off location to safely dispose of subsequently accumulated unwanted and unused prescription drugs.

“This is the first year that the City of Union City and Union City Police have hosted a drop-off location for Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. We understand the need to develop a convenient way to rid homes of unwanted prescription drugs,” said Brian Foley, Union City Police Chief.

“An event such as this can dramatically reduce the risk of prescription drug deviation and abuse, and increase the awareness of this public health issue,” Chief Foley continued. For more information about National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, please contact the Union City Police Department at (510) 471-1365 or visit www.UnionCity.org.

SUBMITTED BY JUDY SCHWARTZ The Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC) is hosting a Citizenship Application Fair on Saturday, April 28 in partnership with the International Institute of the Bay Area and Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach. Lawyers, citizenship assistants and local bilingual volunteers will help Tri-City immigrants apply for citizenship. Since the Tri-City area does not have many local immigration service providers that offer free application assistance, applicants usually travel to Oakland or San Jose for help which can be inconvenient or even a hardship. This is Fremont’s first citizenship assistance fair and Fremont Mayor Gus Morrison proclaimed April 28, 2012 to be “Citizenship Day.” In light of proposed regulatory changes that will streamline the process for some undocumented family members of U.S. citizens to apply for their green cards, local non-profits are urging eligible permanent residents to become citizens. Under current rules, family

members of both U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents often have to leave the country, sometimes for a year or more, before getting their green cards. The proposed change would simplify the process, but it will only benefit family members of U.S. citizens. The federal government plans to implement the change by the end of 2012.

According to Kyra Lilien, Immigration Attorney at Centro Legal de la Raza, U.S. citizens have increased opportunities for family reunification, even under current law. “Only U.S. citizens can sponsor their parents and siblings, and petitions for spouses and children are much faster for U.S. citizens than for permanent residents,” explains Lilien.

Screeners can help answer pre-event questions. Applicants must bring many required documents to the event as listed at www.fremont.gov/Calendar.aspx?EID=996. Additionally, participants must bring a $680 application fee (if 75 years or older, the fee is $595). Fees can be paid by

The Wall Street heretic who called Apple's swoon

Apple closed at an all-time high of $636.23 on April 9, the same day Piecyk issued his report. By Monday, it had fallen to about $580.

Piecyk, 40, has been calling stocks for more than a decade. He was an analyst at Paine Webber before jumping to several small brokers.

He said he likes that his current employer, BTIG, a broker for institutional investors, doesn't help

companies bring stocks and bonds to the market, which otherwise could present a conflict of interest.

Critics of Wall Street analysts say fear of losing that lucrative business, known as underwriting, explains why many analysts tend to be bullish on the companies they cover.

Piecyk said he believes that phone carriers are tired of seeing their profit eroded by the subsidies

they pay to keep iPhone customers on their networks. He noted that AT&T's subsidies explain why its own profit margins in its wireless business have fallen from 44 percent to below 30 percent in just two years.

Wu, the Sterne Agee analyst, said he doesn't think subsidies will be cut because the iPhone attracts customers, helping subscriber

growth, and those customers spend more on data.

Wu predicted that Apple will hit $750 within a year and has a “buy” rating on the stock.

Among other criticisms, Piecyk thinks investors may have overestimated the willingness of customers in China, Brazil and other developing countries – big targets for Apple – to shell out $600 for an iPhone.

And he thinks investors are too confident that the company, after its success with the iPhone and iPad, will come up with next musthave product. That has been a losing bet in the past.

“There is this expectation that there will be this revolutionary new product,” Piecyk said. “But what if it doesn't turn out quite as revolutionary?”

Debate to engage students and community SUBMITTED BY APOORVA RAJANALA LOGO COURTESY OF ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Ten eighth grade students from Fremont’s Hopkins Junior High will be participating in the National History Day state contest at the Riverside Convention Center in Southern California April 2729. National History Day (NHD) is a year-long education program through which students are encouraged to explore local, state, national, and world history using a variety of primary and secondary sources.

Each year, participating students are required to choose and research a topic that follows the annual theme. The theme for 2012 is “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History.”

Originally founded by Dr. David Van Tassel, NHD was created as a fun and educational way for students to gather on campus and devote an entire day to history. The first NHD event, held in 1974, consisted of 129 Cleveland high school students.

Participating students have the choice of picking a category, or a specific way to display their research.

After students have completed their projects, each school holds its own competition from which a select number from each category (both in-

dividual and group) are chosen to continue to the county level. At the county level, students are interviewed and their projects are assessed by judges. When two projects are of equal quality, judges often use the interview as a tie breaker. Projects that

win at the county level continue to the state level, and next on to the national level, where the same process continues with undeniably tougher competition. Between each level, students are given the opportunity to improve their projects and prepare them for the more difficult judging.

At Fremont’s Hopkins Junior High, Mr. Thomas Birbeck’s seventh grade and Mr. Charles Jennings’ eighth grade History students participated in NHD this year. “NHD gives students the opportunity to learn his-

tory in more exciting ways. Through the students’ extensive researches, they can make their own original interpretations of their primary and secondary resources, giving their topic a new perspective,” said Mr. Jennings when asked how NHD benefits students and enhances their learning. The importance of NHD is highlighted by the fact that students are getting the chance to research various documents, interview important people, and learn new things every step of the way.

So how did Hopkins Junior High come across National History Day in the first place? Mr. Birbeck takes part in a program called “Words That Made America” which encourages teachers to help their students become familiar with primary information sources. Through this program he was introduced to National History Day, and thought that it would be great for his students to become involved. “I definitely don’t regret my decision to get involved, and I am looking forward to participating in National History Day again in future years,” said Mr. Birbeck.

SUBMITTED BY MELANIE SUTRATHADA Candidates running for Congress have committed to an engaging and informative debate to encourage students and community members to form educated opinions about local congressional, state senate and state assembly candidates. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 5 p.m. at California State University, East Bay (CSUEB), Hayward. This is the first event of its type to take place since CSUEB was founded in 1957. It will be held as a debate in most of the district races and as a forum in those where only one candidate is present.

Associated Students Inc., CSUEB’s student government, has collaborated with candidates for Congress to build greater awareness about elections and issues that affect the surrounding community and state. Topics will include issues affecting education and higher education and job creation, reflecting student needs and interests.

“I think debates on college campuses are extremely important; they help students become more aware of and more informed about the political process. They motivate students to make informed decisions when they vote and engage students in becoming more politically active,” said Courtney Symonds, Director of Legislative Affairs for Associated Students Inc. Candidates from the 13th, 14th and 17th districts will be present to discuss issues facing California and CSUEB, specifically. The candidates include Rob Bonta, Sarabjit Cheema, Evelyn Li, Chris Pareja, Bill Quirk, Charles Richardson and Marilyn Singleton.

“I want to see what each candidate stands for and what they can do for students,” said Seetha Ream-Rao, Chair of the Legislative Affairs Committee.

For more information, contact Melanie Sutrathada at (619) 793-9098 or email asiprdirector@csueastbay.edu.

esonate Church turned two years old March 18, 2012 and decided to throw itself a party.

Over 600 people came to the birthday bash Sunday morning at the Fremont Adult School in Fremont, the church's current location. Children frolicked in a giant jump house set up in the parking lot while Chef Brad Fuellenbach and his ministry team served breakfast and a lunch of homemade tacos. Fuellenbach is frequently seen cooking for worthy causes, from barbeques to banquets to private parties, and Resonate is grateful for his willingness to serve.

To further celebrate the milestone, the staff of Resonate wanted to help needy families in the community above and beyond the norm. The mission of Resonate Church is to be of service to the Tri-City area, showing the love of Christ in tangible ways. The organization calls itself a "church for the city" and hopes to reach un-churched and de-churched people with the redemption of Jesus Christ.

For two weeks the Spirit moved among Christian people, spurring a generosity that enabled the staff to accomplish their goal. Resources were donated by people inside and outside the church to provide computers, ipods, groceries, and five previously owned but very nice vehicles. Church members nominated individuals they personally knew to receive the items, and the giveaway occurred during both morning services.

One recipient was a single woman who had experienced a crisis pregnancy in 2011. Faced with difficult choices, she ultimately chose life for her child. She commutes to work on public transit, and her life has

been more challenging with a baby in tow, but she doesn't regret her decision. She was grateful to learn that a person she didn't know wanted to give her an Acura worth $13,000.

Another couple was struggling because the father, the family breadwinner, had recently undergone brain surgery that was unsuccessful. His wife said she needed money to buy rice and beans, but Resonate was able to do more, due to the outpouring of donors. The couple

was very happy to receive a $1,000 gift certificate for groceries. The day proved to be the biggest event so far in Resonate Church's brief history, but the body of believers expects their future to be even brighter.

The church meets every Sunday at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the Fremont Adult School, 4700 Calaveras Avenue, in the Irvington District of Fremont, and anyone is welcome to attend. Learn more online at www.resonatemovement.org.

attending the school. A group of ten Latino mothers and 20 children joined this community engagement project and meet weekly to plant nutritious fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, corn, zucchini, watermelon and green chiles.

Community gardening offers parents and their children the experience of planting, growing, and harvesting a garden. It also connects children with nature and offers hands-on learning opportunities.

Parents have the opportunity to socialize, build relationships with their neighbors, learn to eat healthy vegetables and fruits which, in turn, helps to prevent diabetes. According to the Latino Diabetes Initiative, Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States diagnosed with diabetes; Schilling Elementary has a large population of Latino children.

This project also reduces parental stress and increases socialization, both of which can strengthen protective factors to reduce the possibility of child abuse. One mother said, “This helps me relax and have time to myself. It makes me feel great to know that I am helping the school with this gardening project.” Teachers at Schilling Elementary also stated they are very happy that the garden has been renovated and that it makes the school look better.

FRC and the Schilling staff have worked together successfully identifying parent leaders who guide and plant the garden. The parents chose their role in the garden and are modeling love for the land, cooperation, and sustainability skills to their children.

Anyone who would like to donate supplies for the Schilling gardening project or the upcoming garden at Searless Elementary in Union City, please contact FRC Clinical Supervisor Ana Lilia DeLeon-Gonzalez at 510-574-2004 or ALDGonzalez@fremont.gov.

SUBMITTED BY RUBEN BRIONES The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), on April 18, 2012, between Alameda County and Washington Township Health Care District to establish the St. Rose Transitional Authority, to administer and control funding to assist in the operation of St. Rose Hospital and allow Washington the opportunity to conduct due diligence and consider managing or acquiring St. Rose.

“St. Rose Hospital is a gem for Alameda County residents, in particular residents in Hayward. The Hospital plays a critical role in providing safety-net services and today’s approval creates a path of longterm stability that will help keep the doors of the Hospital open,” said Supervisor Nadia Lockyer who represents District 2 which includes the cities of Hayward, Union City and Newark as well as a portion of Fremont and the unincorporated area of Sunol.

The JPA includes proposed membership from Alameda County, Washington Township Health Care District, Eden Township Hospital District and St. Rose Hospital. The Authority will administer and control funding that may be obtained to assist in the operation of St. Rose. This may be followed by an agreement in which Washington Township may manage or acquire St. Rose or its assets.

“I am pleased today’s action will allow for regional healthcare delivery in central and southern Alameda County. St. Rose has provided high quality care to both the insured and uninsured residents and I am proud to have played a role in continuing its mission to serve all that come to their doors,” added Lockyer.

St. Rose Hospital is an independent community hospital located in Hayward that has provided acute and emergency medical services for 50 years. The Hospital has a strong reputation for outstanding cardiology, emergency, diagnostics and women’s services. The hospital serves the cities of Hayward, Union City, Fremont, Newark and San Leandro, as well as unincorporated San Lorenzo and Castro Valley with a combined population of approximately 650,000 residents.

AC Transit and a coalition of regional transit partners, serving 7 million people in the Bay Area, presented the newest hydrogen production and dispensing station to fuel the latest generation of zero-emission fuel cell buses operating in AC Transit’s service area. Federal, state, and local officials formally dedicated the station on April 10, 2012 at AC Transit’s Emeryville division where hydrogen to fuel the fleet is produced in part by solar-powered electrolysis.

“For more than a decade, AC Transit has been developing the most comprehensive, zero-emission, fuel cell transit program in North America and operating zeroemission buses in real-world service. Now, with increased fueling capacity, we have a greater capability to offer clean, quiet, zero emission transportation to the communities we serve,” said AC Transit General Manager David Armijo.

AC Transit’s newest on-site energy station, engineered by Linde North America, Jacobs and EPC, and built by W.L. Butler Construction, demonstrates the use of “renewable” hydrogen - hydrogen produced using Proton OnSite’s solar-powered electrolyzer.

Engineering and construction firm Cupertino Electric, Inc. installed a 510 kilowatt DC solar photovoltaic system for AC Transit that will generate energy to help fuel the transit system’s hydrogen-powered buses running throughout the Bay Area.

The station also features Linde’s latest advancements in compression and dispensing technology, enabling buses to be refueled at rates up to 5 kilograms per minute a time comparable to refueling diesel buses. Thanks to a major grant from the California Air Resources Board, one dispenser is accessible to the public for fueling hydrogen fuel cell electric passenger cars, including the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL, now on the road in both Northern and Southern California.

“Linde is excited to provide a clean fuel solution that delivers so many quality-oflife benefits to Bay Area residents. Their public transportation will now be quieter, the air fresher and cleaner and we’re using a domestically produced fuel instead of imported oil. These are positive, concrete steps toward reducing greenhouse gases and increasing sustainability. Linde is proud to take such a prominent role in improving our future,” said Pat Murphy, President, Linde North America.

Fuel cells do not burn the fuel they use. Instead, they combine hydrogen with oxygen from the air electrochemically to produce electricity and emit only water vapor. AC Transit operates a dozen 40’ hybrid-electric, zero-emission fuel cell buses, each powered by a 120 kW UTC Power fuel cell system and a Siemens ELFA Drive System.

“We are proud to partner with AC Transit,” said Joe Triompo, VP and General Manager, UTC Power. “Their leadership in the deployment of fuel cell buses in the United States and their commitment to reducing their environmental impact are inspiring. We believe the future of energy is here and embodied in the fuel cell buses operated by AC Transit. With multiple fuel cell buses in operation today, AC Transit and the community the agency serves are already reaping the benefits of superior efficiency, increased reliability and reduced emissions for environmentally responsible operations.”

In recognition of AC Transit’s solar installations across its facilities, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) presented a check, representing what will amount to more than $500,000 in rebate incentives from PG&E through the California Solar Initiative (CSI) program, to AC Transit’s General Manager. Additionally, in honor of AC Transit’s HyRoad Program, Tom Sullivan, Chairman of Proton OnSite, presented a $20,000 check to Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley to further youth science education in alternative fuels.
