s April showers bring May flowers, the prospect of bees buzzing nearby can cause trepidation for many; but beekeeper Russel Shaffer of Fremont is delighted. Although beekeeping is a $1.5 billion industry, Shaffer says, “I don’t do it for the money. It’s just my hobby.” Honeybees (genus Apis), members of an insect order called “Hymenoptera,” are one of a number of insects attracted to plant nectar. They not only help spread pollen from plant to plant, a product of their labors is a delicious goo we call “honey.” Over many centuries, it probably occurred to human observers that bears and other animals raiding beehives, while suffering from the stinging assault of defenders, continued continued on page 32 INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

SUBMITTED BY KIM HUGGETT Skywest Golf Course, Hayward, will be the scene of one of the area’s longest-running sporting events on May 14, 2012 when it hosts the Hayward Chamber of Commerce’s 39th Annual Golf Tournament. “This year’s event is a low key, no-pressure, focus-on-fun tournament. Even if you don’t play golf, there are a variety of ways to be involved as a tee or corporate sponsor,” said Chris Zaballos (R. Zaballos & Sons, Inc.), chair of the Tournament Committee. Individual chamber members and non-members can play the 6,700-yard course as tournament participants for $175, including green fees, tee gifts, cart, lunch, dinner, a goodie bag of prizes and an opportunity to participate in silent and live auctions. A foursome is $700. Six teams have already registered for the corporate challenge, an $850 value that includes on-course table-top exhibit, tee sponsorship, and a chance to win the perpetual trophy. Tee sponsorships are available for $200. One of the unique features will be an opportunity to win a new car from Fremont Ford at the hole-in-one challenge hole. Check-in and lunch is at 11 a.m., with a shotgun start at noon. Following the competition and a buffet dinner prepared in the Skywest Pavilion by the clubhouse chefs, there will be a live auction and raffle with prizes and golf packages. For more information, call the Hayward Chamber of Commerce office at (510) 537-2424.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
We have a court date! Imagine a town with ONE Restaurant, ONE Dry Cleaner, ONE Real Estate Agent. We are trying to receive approval (adjudication) from the Superior Court of Alameda County to carry legal notices specific to the City of Fremont; this represents a significant amount of income.The Bay Area News Group currently has a monopoly and is fighting hard in court to block any competition. Bay Area News Group (BANG) insists that a ruling by Judge George C. Hernandez in their favor about a year ago, denying our application should stand indefinitely and bar future requests. TCV’s application is to achieve a status, not remove or change that of any other newspaper. Judge Hernandez did not believe that TCV printed in Fremont or presented a bona fide subscription list. We disagreed and filed for a new Judge to hear our case. Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte, at the urging of BANG’s attorney, would not hear the case until significant changes and time had elapsed from the previous ruling. This has now occured and TCV asked her to hear it again. She agreed.
In an attempt to delay and continue a financially lucrative position, BANG filed to stop Judge Harbin-Forte from hearing the case knowing her involvement would expedite our application. The case has now been assigned to Judge Robert McGuiness who must spend time studying and reviewing the same arguments - a waste of time and court effort designed by BANG to delay and confuse the issue. Through a series of court appearances dealing with setting a calendar for this motion, a hearing has finally been set for Thursday, May 24, 3pm, in which Judge McGuiness will decide if he will allow TCV to proceed to a hearing of the merits of TCV adjudication. We need the community to attend this court hearing to observe and show support for Tri-City Voice.
Thursday, May 24 3 p.m. Alameda County Superior Court, Dept 22 Judge Robert McGuiness 1225 Fallon Street Oakland, California 94612
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.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
SUBMITTED BY ANDREW LAMAR Legislation by Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-San Leandro) designed to help lower the costs of textbooks for college students passed the Senate Education Committee on April 23, 2012. 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. “The cost of higher education has skyrocketed in recent years and many students are struggling to pay for college,” Corbett said. “This legislation is a common-sense approach that helps students on shoestring budgets afford the books they need.” “Textbooks are a vital resource students deserve if they are to truly make the most of their education and self-actualize properly,” said Justin Gross, a University of California, Davis, student who testified at the committee’s hearing. “While I am sure they (publishers) are perfectly nice people, it continues to baffle me why a re-ordered table of contents and a shiny new binding warrant an additional $50, $60, or sometimes $100 on the price tag.” The bill moves next to the Senate Floor.

The Bookworm
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
‘Imagine: How Creativity Works’ by Jonah Lehrer
The painting you hung on the wall near your desk relaxes you. Looking at it reminds you of a happy memory, and you wonder how the artist managed to create such a vivid emotion with colored goo. It’s pretty amazing, and it makes you wish you could paint like that. You’re a hands-on person. You do, you don’t make. Still, you wonder if it’s possible to tap into some innate, unknown talent, maybe even one with a brush. Better yet, how do you free your employees and co-workers to use their imaginations? In the new book “Imagine: How Creativity Works” by Jonah Lehrer, you’ll find out how Pixar, 3M, Google, Bob Dylan, and others do it. Every creative moment starts with a problem. Think, for instance, about the last time you had an equipment breakdown. It happened on a weekend, of course, and it frustrated you beyond all measure. You tinkered around until you were about to break down yourself when an exquisite “AHA!” moment dawned. Aha! An unconventional, get-youthrough-the-weekend fix. Lehrer says that the most creative moments arrive when you’ve stopped searching for answers, when you “sleep
Page 11 11 Page
on it,” or when you’ve decided that the situation isn’t fixable. That’s because, like a petulant toddler, your left brain struggles and gets frustrated. When it’s done having its tantrum, your right brain – the calmer, Zen side that excels at insight– takes over with a fresh angle and a solution.
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.
As it turns out, says Lehrer, a “relaxed state of mind” is essential for creative juices to flow. By not focusing on the problem or by distracting ourselves with something else entirely, the right brain begins to look inward: a subconscious tickle, a niggling detail unforgotten, a mere word remembered, and voila! But that doesn’t mean you should stop concentrating on the task. Paying attention can hone creativity by helping cut away extra ideas that won’t work. So what can you do to create a creative workplace? First of all, allow your employees to circulate: collaboration becomes most
efficient if departments aren’t compartments. Stop “brainstorming” and start critiquing instead. Encourage screw-ups. Relinquish the idea of perfection. Encourage daydreaming and offer new, different challenges. Looking for a little quirk in your work? Then imagine yourself reading “Imagine” and see what kind of spark you get. By using examples from Silicon Valley, Madison Avenue, Woodstock, and elsewhere, author Jonah Lehrer shows readers how creativity works; how it’s used to invent, solve, and beautify; and how you can jump-start your brain to achieve its highest creative potential. Lehrer makes his subject sound lively and fun but what I liked best is that, in essence, he gives us abundant permission to go wild with our thoughts. Even the dumbest notions can become great, which is the most appealing idea of all. This is one of those rare books that can be used by anyone in any business, no matter what the size or type. If you’re ready to solve, invent, and boost your productivity, grab “Imagine: How Creativity Works” and picture yourself inspired. c.2012, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt $26.00 256 pages

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP), – The Brookings County Detention Center is getting its own “drive-up” window. But don't expect to be able to order burgers or fries. The window will allow corrections officers to perform portable breathalyzer tests faster and more efficiently, Sheriff Marty Stanwick told The Brookings Register (http://bit.ly/ISUSU3) in a story published Monday. Stanwick said officers can sometimes have as many as 40 people coming to the detention center twice a day
to perform their required breathalyzer test as part of the 24/7 Sobriety Program. The program targets repeat drunken-driving offenders, giving them the option of coming to the sheriff's office for twice-a-day testing instead of going to jail. Participants must now pass through three secured doors when arriving and leaving the testing area. “That makes six times doors have to be opened and closed for each participant,” Stanwick said. “That happens twice a day for each offender. And for security reasons, the participants have to be admitted one at a time.”

So Stanwick came up with the idea to administer the tests outdoors in the fenced-in entry area of the detention center through a window. Although the sheriff and staff refer to it as a “drive-up” window, Stanwick said it will actually be a walk-up window because participants must still enter through a gate that surrounds the jail property. The window should be operational by the beginning of May, Stanwick said.

JOSHUA TREE, California (AP),Police say a naked burglar has been arrested while taking a shower after he sipped champagne and ate a meal in a Southern California family's home. San Bernardino County sheriff's Sgt. Steve Wilson says 25-year-old Michael Calvert was arrested at gunpoint by deputies while he lathered up in the shower Thursday night. KCDZ radio says that after helping himself to a bottle of champagne and a meal, Calvert decided to take a shower in the Joshua Tree home. The Mojave Desert community is 130 miles (210 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles. The homeowners called police after returning home at 8:10 p.m. and hearing someone in the shower. Calvert was booked for investigation of residential burglary. He's in jail with bail set at $25,000 and was not available for comment.

Bus Rapid Transit Major milestone for BRT system
SUBMITTED BY CLARENCE JOHNSON The AC Transit Board of Directors has approved a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan that will make cleaner, more efficient bus service reducing commute time and traffic - in Oakland and San Leandro. The Board certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) on April 25, 2012, moving the $153M BRT project a step closer to design, construction, the creation of as many as 300 jobs over a two-year period and the prompting of other local economic development. “This is a major milestone,” said AC Transit General Manager David Armijo. “The Board’s vote means our vision of improved bus service, reduced traffic and lower vehicle emissions along that corridor is a step closer to reality.” With construction expected to begin in 2014, the system could be fully operational in 2016.

SUBMITTED BY GINNY GRIMSLEY Adolescence is difficult in the best of times. It’s doubly stressful for kids today; they’re experiencing the same worries and insecurities as adults in this troubled economy, and with far fewer coping skills. From families struggling with joblessness and foreclosure to increasing competition for college admissions to the normal fears associated
with impending adulthood, they’re particularly vulnerable. “Teens who are overwhelmed by stress often are unable or unwilling to ask for help,” says noted psychologist Dr. Gregory L. Jantz. “But the longer they continue to flail and struggle emotionally, the greater the chance continued on paage 33

Cash spills on the highway: What would you do? BY DAVID KDISHNEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP), You're cruising along the highway
when you see a bunch of green bills fluttering around like flakes in a snow globe. You get closer and you realize it's cash. Other drivers are pulling over to snatch what they can.
What do you do? Some drivers in Maryland faced that choice Friday when two plastic bags containing about $5,700 in bills and coins fell from an unlatched door
on an armored truck and spilled onto Interstate 270 about 35 miles northwest of Washington. One witness said she saw about 30 cars pulled over on the shoulders and people frantically collecting fistfuls of cash. Police say the motorists grabbed almost all of it. Others kept driving. Imagine having your commute turn into a morality play. What's your first reaction? Do you slam on the brakes, jump onto a busy highway and start scrambling? Do you slow down to get a closer look? Or do you keep driving, guilt-free but without a surprise payday? OK, now what if your kids were in the car? The answers from several people who spoke to The Associated Press on Friday offer a glimpse into the minds of Americans trying to juggle doing the right thing and getting by in a tough economy where even a few unexpected dollars can be a blessing. It wasn't hypothetical for attorney Heather Kelly, who was driving to her office in Frederick when she passed through the surreal scene. She didn't see the armored truck but noticed the two clear plastic bags of currency along the road and people snatching the $1 to $50 bills wafting through the air and skittering along the highway. “It was in the traffic lanes and on the shoulders and just generally kind of like a snow globe of cash,” she said. “Some people had fists full of money, fists full of dollars, and other people were just still trying to collect.” Kelly decided it was too risky to stop, though no one was injured. She said she wouldn't have stopped even if it was a two-lane road with no other traffic. “It was really unclear what was going on and I like to stay away from that type of thing,” she said. The truck belonged to Garda World Security Services Corp., a Montreal-based security and cash logistics company, spokesman Joe Gavaghan said. He said they're cooperating with state
May 4, 2012 police investigators to find out what happened. Maryland State Police urged people to return the money to the agency's barracks in Rockville, with no questions asked and no charges filed. As of Monday afternoon, no one had. So what would you do? Chicago billing clerk Stephany Harris, 53, didn't miss a beat. “Of course I would,” she said. “If the armored car had been in an accident of something, I'd make sure the drivers were OK and I'd call 911. But I'd put as much money in my pockets (as I could) and run.” But what if her kids were there? “I absolutely would not take any money,” she answered again without hesitation. “I wouldn't want them to get the message that grabbing money that is not yours is the right thing to do.” Jeff Bora, 30, of Chicago said he would stop to make sure none of the money was stolen. “I'd start picking it up and I'd call police right away,” he said. As a former lawyer and prosecutor, he knows that it's stealing and he could land in serious trouble. Even if he was alone and could get away undetected, he said he still wouldn't do it: “It would be about how I would feel about myself later. Bad karma would get me in the end.” Another kind of karma occurred to Dennis Lowe, 30, of Providence, R.I. He said it's simple human nature, especially if the money is from an armored truck. He said plenty of Americans are fed up with banks, insurance companies and other corporations that move cash in armored trucks. “The money is insured,” he said while waiting downtown for a bus. “They've been taking money from me, so it's just karma.” He said he likely would have stopped to grab a few bills, but it might depend on where he was continued on page 34

April 17 when they were visited by San Francisco 49er player Bruce Miller and other members of the 49ers’ Football organization. Several months ago, after the 49ers heartbreaking loss in the playoffs, some of the fourth grade students at St. (Back row) Judy Perkowski (Principal), 49ers player Bruce Miller, and Dede Fager (Grade 4 teacher) with the entire 4th grade class.

John’s wrote a letter to the organization expressing their appreciation for the team and sending them good wishes for next year. The students also included $8 to help offset the cost of the new stadium that is being built in Santa Clara. Joanne Pasternack, head of Community Relations for the 49ers, was so touched by the students’ kind words and generosity that she wanted to meet the class and do something special for them by bringing along one of the team members. Ms.
Pasternack and Bruce Miller brought autographed minifootballs for the students and a very generous donation check to the school for $1500! The 49ers Foundation also supported the school’s brick fundraiser by purchasing an engraved brick which benefits the school Scholarship Fund. The most exciting news for the class was the invitation to one of the football games this coming season. Comcast SportsNet and NBC news were also on hand, and ran a story about the visit on
their nightly broadcasts. Needless to say the students were thrilled to meet one of their favorite players and to have the chance to chat with him. It was truly an experience that they will never forget. As one student put it, “This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me!” St. John the Baptist School has been educating students from Pre-K through grade 8 for 25 years. The school is located at 360 S. Abel Street in Milpitas. (www.sjbs.org).

ourteen teachers and their students will benefit from nearly $4,000 recently delivered to New Haven Unified schools as the New Haven Schools Foundation awarded its annual “Innovations in Education” classroom grants for special projects that promote learning. The Foundation, in the seventh year of its classroom grant program, funded nine requests, including one from a team of six teachers. Since the Foundation began awarding grants during the 2005-06 school year, 128 teachers have been awarded a total of nearly $45,000 in “Innovations in Education” grants for classroom projects and “Project Enrichment” grants for extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. Among this year’s winners are Searles Elementary teacher Sharon Gregory, who received $350 for online math resources, and Eastin Elementary’s Linda Chew, who received $175 to purchase a microscope and slides for “Hands-On Science.” Cesar Chavez Middle School teacher Teri Gruenwald headed a team of six teachers who received $500 for an online dictionary system that is especially useful for English language learners, and Alvarado Middle School teacher Pam Sison received $332.75 for “Get Smart With Art.” Foundation President Cindy O’Brien also delivered awards this week to Beth Morris-Wong (Hillview Crest Elementary) “Who is Who” ($383.69); Wendy Rodrigues (Emanuele Elementary) “Make Books Come Alive” ($478.85); Betty Silva (Alvarado Elementary) “Read Naturally” ($500); Jeannette Alday (Hillview Crest Elementary) “Academic Oral Language Development” ($500); and Julie Miller (Pioneer Elementary) “Engaging Readers Through Non-Fiction ($500). The Foundation, in conjunction with the New Haven Boosters Association, also donated $100,000 to the District this year to help save co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, after state budget cuts forced the District to reduce funding to pay stipends for coaches and advisers. In addition, the Foundation coordinated the awarding of more than $50,000 in college scholarships to James Logan and Conley-Caraballo high school seniors through its annual “Pathways to Success” program. To learn more about the New Haven Schools Foundation, contact Executive Director Barbara Aro-Valle by phone (510) 471-3850 or e-mail (baro-valle@nhsfoundation.com) or visit the Foundation’s webpage (www.nhsfoundation.org).
On April 21, California held its annual State Elementary Spelling Bee competition at the San Joaquin Office of Education in Stockton. Thirty-one counties competed in this event, including Alameda. Representing Alameda County were Daphne Pan from Delaine Eastin Elementary in Union City and Shirlyn Prabahar from Warm Springs Elementary School in Fremont. After hours of countless words, the pool of 61 students dropped down to three students. For several rounds the students continued to spell words that were not only uncommon, but obscure. The group then dropped to the final two students, Shirlyn Prabahar from Warm Springs Elementary and Aditya Mishra from Excelsior Elementary in Placer County. The two students went back and forth but, unfortunately, there could only be one winner. Aditya placed first for a second year in a row, but Fremont’s Shirlyn placed second when she had difficulty with the word scheherazadian, which means “strangely fabulous.” It is quite a scheherazadian experience to not only have a state Spelling Bee finalist but also a student who is ranked 2nd in the state.

S&P worried about possible Calif budget gimmicks BY JUDY LIN ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), A credit rating agency on Tuesday warned that California could return to budget gimmicks this summer, in part because a court has removed an incentive for lawmakers to pass a spending plan that is truly balanced. The Standard & Poor's memo cautioned that the agency could revise its positive outlook on California's debt if the Legislature fails to pass a balanced budget by its June 15 deadline. S&P cited concerns stemming from two developments last month. First, the deficit has grown as income tax revenue in April fell nearly $2 billion below expectations. Then a Sacramento judge ruled the state controller doesn't have authority to withhold pay from lawmakers. That ruling undermines Proposition 25, a 2010 initiative approved by voters that bans lawmakers from getting paid if they fail to pass a spending plan. The initiative also lowered the legislative threshold for passing the state budget from a two-thirds vote, which requires support from both parties, to a simple majority. S&P analyst Gabriel Petek wrote that the recent court decision, “coupled with what we see as reluctance among legislators to make additional difficult spending cuts, increases the risk of a less structurally balanced budget.” California has an A- credit rating, the low-
est of any state. It received a positive outlook after the state made progress in making deep spending cuts last year. H.D. Palmer, the governor's finance spokesman, said the state budget gap will be larger than the $9.2 billion estimated in January. But he said the state will be looking at a variety of economic indicators to determine a new revenue forecast, such as housing permits and unemployment, as well as the anticipated public offering for Facebook. “We're going to have a plan to put forward in the next several weeks,” he said of the governor's upcoming budget revision. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office estimated that state revenues are about $3 billion below projections so far in the current year, which ends June 30. Gov. Jerry Brown has proposed a $92.6 billion budget for the new fiscal year. Brown also has proposed an initiative for the November ballot that would fund education and public safety programs by raising income taxes on people who make more than $250,000 a year and increasing the sales tax by a quarter cent. Democratic leaders have vowed to pass a responsible budget but are relying on the tax increase. Republicans oppose the tax hike. “The fact remains that we still need a twothirds vote to generate revenue,” said Robin Swanson, a spokeswoman for the Assembly speaker's office. “This only underscores the importance of passing the governor's initiative.”

Wall Street Journal remains No. 1 US newspaper AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), U.S. newspapers reported a slight increase in circulation the past year as more readers purchased digital subscriptions, according to a media industry group. Average daily circulation in the six months that ended on March 31, rose nearly 1 percent for the 618 newspapers that participated in the Audit Bureau of Circulations semi-annual study, which was released Tuesday. Digital circulation, which includes subscribers who access content on tablet computers, smartphones, e-readers and websites, accounted for 14.2 percent of overall circulation. That was up from 8.6 percent in the October-March period a year earlier. Demand for digital content helped offset a decline in print circulation. Weekday digital circulation grew 61.6 percent while print circulation fell 6.7 percent. Circulation of so-called branded editions, such as alternative-language editions of newspapers, increased 33.7 percent. The Wall Street Journal remains the No. 1 U.S. newspaper, with average weekday circulation of 2.1 million, about the same as a year earlier. The Journal has more than 1.5 million print subscribers and
nearly 560,000 digital subscribers, according to the report. USA Today ranked No. 2, with 1.8 million, down less than 1 percent. The New York Times was third with 1.6 million, up 73.1 percent. The Times' circulation increased after it started charging online readers without a print subscription to gain unlimited online access. The newspaper now has roughly 780,000 print subscribers and 807,000 digital subscribers. Circulation for the 532 newspapers that report Sunday data grew 5 percent. The New York Times had the highest Sunday circulation with 2 million, up 49.6 percent from a year earlier. Neither the Journal nor USA Today publishes on Sunday. The Times said its print circulation continued to decline, but said the inclusion of a free digital subscription with a Sunday home delivery subscription helped increase Sunday print circulation. Circulation numbers affect advertising rates at newspapers, which count print ads as their main source of revenue. Print advertising revenue has been declining in recent years as readers and advertisers shift to the Internet. The economic downturn accelerated the decline. Some newspapers have seen growth in digital ad revenue, but it hasn't been enough to offset the losses in print advertising.

first pitch of the game, lead-off batter Scott Havard squared up to bunt and was struck in the jaw by a high, inside fastball from Castro Valley pitcher Scott Nunnery. Havard, the starting
shortstop, had to leave the game and also missed the Newark and Logan games for MSJ. MSJ traveled to Newark Memorial on April 25 to face the first place team in the MVAL. Newark’s ace Chris Flexen's pitching performance kept MSJ off balance the entire game. Flexen ended the game with 18 strikeouts, maintaining his shutout. MSJ could not catch up to the overpowering velocity and wicked off-speed pitches from Flexen, and lost the game by a score of 6-0. MSJ played under the lights at Logan on April 27. Devon Jones started on the mound for MSJ. Logan's ace, Alex Martinez, pitched masterfully against MSJ, lasting six innings and giving up just one unearned run on two hits and three walks and striking out eight. For the second consecutive game, MSJ could not get started facing tough pitching. The bottom of the second marked the first of two blowout

innings for Logan. The third inning was another strong inning for Logan, as Martinez recorded three outs on four batters and got Logan’s hot bats back up to hit. After getting Fukofuka to ground out to Facha (who had moved over to third base from first base), the next seven batters reached base on three singles, two walks, a hit batsmen, and a long threerun homerun from Johnson. A clutch 5-6-3 double play off the
bat of Martinez got MSJ out of the crucial six-run inning, leaving the MSJ in a 10-0 deficit. MSJ provided a spark of offense in the top of the fifth, as a ground ball to the first baseman by Reid Marion scored Facha from third, cutting Logan’s lead to 10-1. Chu pitched the final two innings and gave up zero hits, walks, and runs with one strikeout, ending the game with a score of 10-1.

Logan defeats Washington SUBMITTED BY STEVE BURMASTER April 26 Logan: 21-25, 25-14, 25-14, 25-20 Washington came out strong in the first game and a combination of the away venue, playing with a plain WHITE Tachikara ball (traditionally used for girls matches in a lot of other leagues) rather than with a Spaulding 5000 (the NCS approved and adopted Tournament ball), created some difficulty making the adjustment to the new conditions. However, the "Colts" got back on track and kept their passing, serving, and hitting under control and were able
to make the adjustment to the lighter ball being used for the match. I was very proud of our guy's ability to adapt and make the changes needed to play with a very different ball in a very competitive environment! Cameron Salcedo and Neal Barrina were the "difference makers" along with "super-sub" Alvin Nguyen who came into the match in the 2nd game and played in the front row on the right side for all three games that the "Colts" won for the needed victory to maintain 2nd place in the MVAL standings. Chris Trinh's and Noah DeLos Santos also played very steady in the back row and anchored the passing and defense. Middle Blockers, Ryan Nicanor and Khrystien Ocampo gave our setter, Neal Barrina good options for our quick attack and opened up a lot of opportunities for Outside Hitters, Cameron Salcedo and Andrew Nguyen. "Go Colts"!

SUBMITTED BY RHEA SERRAN On April 12, the City of Union City was presented the Association of Bay Area Governments’ (ABAG) Building a Better Bay Area - Urban Design Award for the Intermodal Station District project. The City’s Intermodal Station is the center point of a robust, transit-oriented community with development opportunities to the east and west sides of the BART station that brings residents and businesses together with local and regional transportation systems. Surrounding the station are high-density housing, retail shopping, commercial business, industrial land, and open space - all in close proximity to I-880, AC Transit, and the Dumbarton Express. Landscaped pedestrian walkways and bike paths make it both convenient and enjoyable for residents and workers to leave the car behind and reduce carbon emissions. “The City is very proud of the recognition received by ABAG. The development of the Station District will transform former industrial acreage into a vibrant, integrated neighborhood that will enable residents to live, work, shop and play in the same area,” said Larry Cheeves, City Manager, City of Union City. “The project was designed to protect the environment and improve the quality of life.” For more information about the City’s Intermodal Station Project, visit www.UnionCity.org.

SUBMITTED BY VINAY PUTREDDI PHOTO BY ALEX MAXIM During April 2012, I was part of an enthusiastic group of seven families from Fremont who decided to forego their usual plans and head south of the border. But this trip was anything but a spring break vacation; we were headed to Tijuana, Mexico to build a house for a family in need. Our group of about twenty-five had detailed plans from informational sessions led by Ajjit Narayanan and Jesse Jen of Olive Children Foundation, Fremont, who had been on a previous homebuilding trip. A Seattle-based organization known as DOXA (doxaserves.org) has been working to improve the lives of families in Tijuana for many years. Though many such organizations exist, our group chose DOXA primarily based on the experience of the previous group. On April 6, the participating families traveled separately to San Diego. The next morning, after purchasing everything needed for our stay in Tijuana, we started the drive to Mexico. Crossing the border took a mere five minutes, and since the orphanage where we would stay was just two miles from the border, it hardly took us any time to arrive there. Since it was still early afternoon, we de-
cided to go check out the building site. Then, we returned to the orphanage and feasted on a home-made dinner. The next day, April 8, was the first day of work. We arrived at the site in the morning with construction materials and started to plan the work of the next few days. The girls decided to take charge of painting. They worked very efficiently, and finished before the first workday had ended. The rest of the group started cleaning and prepping the concrete slab on which we were going to build the house. We then began the framework for the first wall. With the painted plywood sheets provided by the girls, our volunteers finished assembling and erecting three walls during the first workday. April 9 was also a day of setting up walls, but the group finished quickly and started work on the roof. First, rafters were set
up and then each rafter was nailed down by volunteer “rafter monkeys.” While this was going on, windows and a door was installed. The group installing the door had trouble at first because the opening was cut too small. But after fixing the problem, the door was mounted easily. After completing the frame for the roof and mounting the door and windows, the group decided to lay down the roof panels and roofing paper on the last day. As planned, on April 10, the roof panels were nailed down followed by the roofing paper. To keep the roofing paper from moving while it was being nailed down, a few members of the roofing group used tar guns to create a layer of roofing cement to use as an adhesive. After nailing on the roof, two people volunteered to put a blob of roofing cement on each and every nail. After completing construction
of the house, the ladies added curtains to the windows. Then, everyone gathered together to pass the keys to the family. The group, despite having tired, aching muscles, and sore eyes from lack of sleep, were excited to finally see the fruits of their labor. By volunteering to help build a house in Tijuana, Mexico, our group experienced not only the conditions in which people of countries such as Mexico live, but also the effort required to improve their state of affairs. By building a house for a less fortunate family, we learned that we should be content with what we currently have and try and give our time and money for betterment of those that are not as privileged. Student volunteers were: Numair Ali, Aydin Bicakci, Iliana Bicakci, Doreen Chang, Lucas Chang, Shareen Chang, Bryant Chin, Sharon Chin, Alice Chu, Catherine Chu, Katie Jiang,
Sweta Putreddi, Vinay Putreddi, Alice Zhao, Brian Zhao, and Chesea Zhao. The experience of building a house in less than three days gave us a sense of accomplishment. We appreciate the guidance of Alex Maxim, Executive Director of DOXA and feel that we have made a positive impact on our world. Vinay Putreddi is a freshman at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont. To view a six minute video of the April trip, visit: http://youtu.be/YxVHa7p50tA Mexico Home Building Informational sessions for Summer 2012 will be held Saturday, May 5: 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, May 6: 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Olive Children Foundation, 43531, Mission Blvd, Fremont (Near Subway/Starbucks).

because the prize inside was worth it. The art of beekeeping was born. In addition to its use as a flavorful food, honey has a wide range of applications including medicinal and spiritual; it has even been found intact in ancient Egyptian pyramids. Currently, use of honey is mostly as a sweet, high energy food, but another product of honeybees, beeswax, is also in widespread use from candle-making to oil spill cleanup materials. Although they can deliver a painful sting, most honeybees are not aggressive; they attack in self-defense when threatened
or to protect the hive (nest). Bright body coloring is a warning but when that doesn’t work, female honeybees, equipped with modified egglaying tubes and venom will sting; males do not have stingers. A queen bee is the
only individual in the colony that can sting repeatedly but for other females, a sting is the ultimate sacrifice since their stinger is barbed and cannot be removed from an aggressor without evisceration of the bee. A hive of honeybees may contain up to 80,000 individuals that exist in a well-defined social – caste – structure. The queen exists for only one purpose… to lay up to 1,500 eggs per day. The remainder of the occupants are either “drones” whose sole duty is to mate with the queen or sterile female “workers” who live within the hive to build and maintain the hive or forage for nectar, pollen, water and resins used to construct a network of six-sided cells called a “honeycomb.” These cells are used as birth chambers and storage containers. A portion of the honey created is destined for winter storage, a reserve to feed the hive during cold winter months; the rest is surplus that can be harvested by beekeepers.
Honey appearance and flavor changes during a season based on the source of nectar and pollen within the neighborhood of the hive; as different flowering plants appear, the honeybee food source changes as well. Knowledgeable beekeepers will locate beehives near ample sources of essential supplies. Shaffer makes sure his honeybees are satisfied in his well-maintained garden filled with flowering plants but honeybees also roam to find additional sources
of nectar, sap and pollen. Although some neighbors are leery of the nearby bee hive, Shaffer says honeybees will stay away from people and animals unless something such as tree sap, pollen or nectar attracts them. He adds, “They don’t really harm anyone unless they feel threatened.” A major benefit of an active and healthy bee population is the cross pollination resulting from movements between different flowers and plants. It is estimated that honeybees are responsible for 25 percent of fruit produced in the United States. Beekeepers have learned how to support colonies of bees and safely remove honey from their hives, leaving enough for them to survive.
The welfare of honeybees is of serious concern to the general population; it can be a key indicator of harmful trends including climate change, pollution or other environmental issues. As president of the Alameda County Beekeepers Association, Shaffer is often asked to help with community and environmental issues. He notes, “It’s not just the environment that they [honeybees] help - half the food we eat wouldn’t be available without these creatures.” Whether beekeeping is practiced as a commercial venture or hobby, Shaffer says that all beekeepers work toward the same goal… making your community a healthier place to bee!

they’ll develop more serious problems like clinical depression, generalized anxiety disorder, dependence on alcohol or drugs and, sadly, suicidal tendencies,” Jantz says. “It’s up to parents and other adults to recognize when a teen is struggling and intervene.” So how do you know when typical teen characteristics, such as moodiness, have moved beyond “normal?” Jantz offers these tips: Arguing is normal; constant anger is not. Sometimes teens argue just to argue. It allows them to let off steam, express their displeasure about life in general and test boundaries. The occasional dramatic meltdown is to be expected. But it’s not normal for a teen to be angry and hostile all the time, constantly fighting and yelling. Withdrawal from parents is normal; pulling away from family and friends is not. Expect your teen to start pulling away from you – unless she wants something – and occasionally from their friends, as well. Sometimes, they just need to pull back for a few days, even from friends. But when they appear to isolate themselves for weeks, spending weekend after weekend alone in their room, they may be struggling with depression. Socializing with friends is one of the first things to go as depression sucks the joy out of life. Anxiety is normal; feeling constantly overwhelmed is not. Teens have a lot to be anxious about – the prospect of independence is both exhilarating and terrifying, so some worrying is to be expected. But a teen who seems to be, or says he is, struggling daily with stress needs help. Two types of kids are especially vulnerable to developing generalized anxiety disorder, a heightened, constant state of anxiety: The worker bee perfectionist who crams his schedule with activities, responsibilities and tasks, and the kids who worry so much over anything, they can’t get anything done.
Being upset for days after a bad experience is normal; more than two weeks is not. Teenagers tend to react dramatically when things go wrong – their boss chews them out, they fail a test, they get in an argument with their sweetheart. Adults know from experience that these things aren’t the end of the world and all will be well again, but teens lack that perspective. It’s normal for them to be in a bad mood about it for a few days, but to dwell on the problem for more than two weeks indicates they’re struggling. The most recent data available, which is about three years old, puts suicide as the third-leading cause of death for teens after unintentional injuries (such as car accidents) and homicide, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. More than two million teens attempt suicide each year. “I suspect new data will put suicide as the second and possibly even the leading cause of death for that age group, because depression is the biggest risk factor,” Jantz says. “We’re seeing more teenagers suffering from depression in recent years because of the economy and overstimulation by technology.” Visit www.aplaceofhope.com for an online survey to see if you or your teen is showing signs of depression (click “Depression” and then “Depression Survey” in the drop-down menu).” ABOUT GREGORY L. JANTZ, PH.D. Gregory Jantz has more than 25 years experience in mental health counseling and is the founder of The Center for Counseling and Health Resources, near Seattle, Wash. He is the best-selling author of more than 20 books on topics from depression to eating disorders. For more information, visit www.drgregoryjantz.com.

Cash spills on the highway: What would you do?
going. He planned to watch his alma mater, Xavier University, on TV in the NCAA basketball tournament on Friday night. What if he spotted the cash on his way to catch the game? Watch his team or grab the greenbacks? “Watch Xavier,” he said. “No question.” In Southern California, where mammoth freeways and gridlock are a way of life, 19-year-old Stephen Schreiber worried about causing traffic. “I don't want to get hit by some cars and I don't want to cause traffic,” he said while working at a coffee shop in Tustin. He did see one possibility: “What kind of car are we driving? A convertible? Because then maybe my hand or my butterfly net would just stick up and grab some as I drive on by, but otherwise I probably wouldn't stop,” he said. Anthony Janni, 36, a bartender in Hagerstown, said he understands why people would stop for “money that seems to just fall into their hands,” but he probably wouldn't have done so.
“The highway's not necessarily the place to do something like that,” Janni said. “It's not something worth causing an accident over.” Brian Gates, 32, of Cincinnati said he would get out to pick up the cash, with a few conditions. If he had kids and they were in the car, he wouldn't do it. He also wouldn't risk his safety. “I'm not going to take a chance of endangering my life or others for money,” he said. If he was alone? “Oh yeah! If there is money out there. We can all use money.” The economy lurked in the decision-making for Gates and others. Gates believes it's much harder economically now for the middle class than in his parents' day because “everything costs more.” “I bought a little economy car to help with gas, when gas was two dollars, and now it's doubled. I never thought I would have to pay four dollars for gas.” Jeanetta Campbell, 40, is a parttime mail clerk for the U.S. Postal
Service in Cincinnati. She said she certainly wouldn't leave her kids in a car to chase money and she probably wouldn't do it if she was alone. The denomination of the bills might make a difference. “If it was hundred-dollar bills, it would be worth it,” she said, laughing. “But if was just (single) dollars, no.” She's a single mother with three sons and a grandson. Her youngest son, 17, is still at home. She finds it “harder all the time to make ends meet.” Maybe the economy makes people more likely to go chase cash on a highway, she speculated, recalling her own single mother: “My mother still had to struggle, but I think the economy was better when we were growing up than it is now.” ––– Associated Press Writers David Klepper in Providence, R.I., Lisa Cornwell in Cincinnati, Michael Tarm in Chicago and Gillian Flaccus in Tustin, Calif., contributed to this report.

CA preacher concedes apocalypse prediction wrong BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), A preacher who spent millions of dollars to publicize his message of impending global doom has for the first time acknowledged his apocalyptic prophecy was wrong. In a letter posted on his independent ministry's site on Thursday, 90-year-old Harold Camping told his followers he has no evidence the world will end anytime soon, and he isn't interested in considering future dates. “We realize that many people are hoping they will know the date of Christ's return,” Camping wrote. “We humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing.” Camping's Family Radio International broadcasts his messages from the nonprofit's headquarters in a squat building near the Oakland airport. In recent years, the organization spent millions – some of it from donations made by followers – putting up thousands of billboards plastered with his Judgment Day prediction. Many listeners were crestfallen May 21 when the Rapture did not occur, particularly those who had quit their jobs or donated some of their retirement savings or college funds to get out the word. That evening, Camping revised his prophecy, saying he had been off by five months. Several weeks later, he was hospitalized after suffering a mild stroke but continued spreading the word through his website and radio show that natural disasters would destroy the globe. Thursday, Camping alerted his flock that he had stopped looking for new dates, and would concentrate on deepening his faith through rereading the Scriptures. “God has humbled us through the events of May 21,” he wrote. “We must also openly acknowledge that we have no new evidence pointing to another date for the end of the world.”

BY FRANK TOBE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER “Pure play” is an investment term that refers to a company which is exclusively focused on a particular product or service. An investor buys stock in pure play companies in order to obtain a market share in the industry as well as in the company. Robotics, to many, are just a tool to accomplish business tasks in an ef-
ficient way. To me, making robots to achieve those goals is an industry in itself and deserving of consideration for investment because of good prospects for the future. Hence the need to find pure play companies in the industry. For example, iRobot (IRBT:US) and KUKA (KU2:GR) are pure plays while Boeing (BA:US) and John Deere (DE:US) are not; yet all four companies are involved with robotics. In the case of Boeing and John Deere, robotics is not their primary business and represents just a tiny fraction of their operating profits. Boeing designs and manufactures UAV's for defense agencies and John Deere produces a line of

AGV's including a new robotic lawn mower, and also provides autonomous navigation modules for tractors; but neither is truly a robotics company. Consequently, if you believe that the robotics industry is ready for you to invest in, you wouldn't purchase either Boeing or John Deere - they aren't representative of the industry and their stocks move to the beat of a different drummer than robotics. Instead, you would pick from a list of pure play robotic stocks (if such a list existed). Emerging non-industrial robotics is a global industry stemming from entrepreneurial and university spin-off activities in the US, Europe, Korea, Japan and more recently, Taiwan and China. There is no center, although America is leading the pack at present. Conversely, industrial robotics clusters are located in Germany, Korea and Japan. America, which started the industry, is no longer its leader. The non-industrial portion of the robotics industry is new and is where all the venture attention is focused. There are hundreds of start-up companies which are not yet publicly traded... Kiva Systems (which was just acquired for $775 million) being a prime example. [Rhetorical question: since Amazon acquired Kiva Systems, does Amazon (AMZN:US) become a publicly traded robotics stock?] Last year an analyst provided a list of 10 robotic stocks. Only four were realistic picks to watch and one was an outright mistake. This year Robotics Business Review produced a list of 19 public stocks but included eight which were certainly not pure plays: ABB (ABBN:VX), Boeing (BA:US), John Deere (DE:US), Epson (6724:JP), Honda (7267:JP), Microsoft (MSFT:US), Panasonic (6752:JP) and Toyota (7203:JP). Each (except ABB which gets 21%) has a 5% or lower involvement in robotics; two don't manufacture robots at all; most are users of robots; and none of them are pure plays. Thus, compiling a list of pure play

stocks and picking favorites is complex and rigorous. ABB is a perfect example of the complexity: they are one of the top global robot manufacturers yet their
I've individually weighted each stock by its closeness to being a pure robotic play based on their financial records and websites and have built the top 100 into
revenue from robotics represents just 21% of their overall business because ABB also builds power and control systems (generators, turbines, etc.). For three and a half years I have tracked and compiled a global and growing list of publicly-traded stocks involved in the robotics industry, stocks which are listed on reputable exchanges require regular, audited financial disclosure. I've separated them into three groups: industrial, service (which includes defense and space, medical and everything else non-industrial) and ancillary (which covers integrators, consulting firms, component suppliers, vision systems and software providers).
an index which I call Robo-Stox™. Each month I've produced a chart of the Robo-Stox™ index showing month-tomonth and year-to-date changes and each year I've created a chart showing how the stocks performed over the years since their 2007 highs. Globally, there are slightly more than 250 publicly-traded robot manufacturers with varying levels of other business activities within the company.
