Vol. 11 No. 44

BY WILLIAM MARSHAK Every public school student from grade school through their senior year in high school knows about STAR testing. But few students, fewer parents and just a handful of others are aware its significance and effect on schools. Washington High School Assistant Principal and STAR Coordinator Lance Miller explains that in an effort to evaluate and measure effectiveness of teaching and learning at the wide variety of schools throughout California, a series of Standardized Testing And Reporting (STAR) exams are administered in math, reading, writing, science, and history to students in grades 2 through 11. Most exams are in a multiple choice format but a writing assessment is administered to fourth and seventh grade students. Schools, teachers, parents and students are informed of testing results. The philosophy of this testing is to follow the progress of each student throughout his/her primary and secondary school years, revealing strengths and weaknesses in the learning process. continued on page 32 INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

Theater Review

SUBMITTED BY SUSAN E. EVANS The Douglas Morrisson Theatre continues its 2012 “Family Portraits” season with the rarely revived drama, “The Member of the Wedding” by Carson McCullers. Directed by Eric Fraisher Hayes, the play features an ensemble of Bay Area performers including Alexandrai Bond as Berenice, Katy Nealon as Frankie, Ruby Buckwalter as John Henry, Joe Fitzgerald as Mr. Adams, Dorian Lockett as T.T., Cornell WhiteCockrell as Honey, Alex Skinner as Jarvis, Alisha Ehrlich as Janice, Marsha Howard as Mrs. West, Dillon Aurelio-Perata as Barney, Bessie Zolno as Helen, and Samantha Cowan as Doris. “The Member of the Wedding” is a masterful exploration of issues of identity and of black/white race relations in the Deep South. Set in Georgia in 1945, Carson McCullers’ sensitive play deserves to be discovered anew by Bay Area theatre audiences. A poignant comingof-age drama adapted by McCullers from her own novel, the play tells the story of twelveyear old tomboy, Frankie, a restless, bored and lonely soul, jealous of her brother’s impending marriage. Playing

three-handed bridge with her seven-year old cousin, John Henry and her surrogate mother, Berenice, the black family cook, Frankie longs to

escape the summer heat with her big brother and his fiancée. She dreams of becoming the “we of me.” Premiering at the Empire Theatre on Broadway on January 5, 1950, “The Member of the Wedding” won the 1950 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. Of the original production, John Mason Brown wrote in The Saturday Review: "Mrs. McCullers's study of the loneliness of an over-imaginative young Georgian girl is no ordinary play. It is felt, observed, and phrased with exceptional

sensitivity. It deals with the torturing dreams, the hungry egoism, and the heartbreak of childhood in a manner as rare as it is welcome … it has a magic of its own.” “The Member of the Wedding” previews on June 7, opens June 8, and runs through July 1. Shows are at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 23 there will be two performances - 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. There will also be a special post-play discussion after the Saturday matinee on June 23. Tickets are $10 for the preview, $20 for the Saturday matinee, and $28 for Thursday through Saturday evening performances and Sunday matinees. Discounts are available for seniors, students, TBA, KQED members, and groups of ten and over. The Box Office is open Tuesday through Friday, 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and can be reached at (510) 881-6777. Information is also available at www.dmtonline.org.

BY HANNAH DREIER ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Gov. Jerry Brown has ordered an audit of California's specialty license plate program after a review by The Associated Press found there was little oversight of the $250 million raised in the 20 years since the Legislature authorized it. Elizabeth Ashford, a spokeswoman for the governor, said the administration on Tuesday asked its Department of Finance to undertake the review. She said the governor had no plans to return $3 million taken by Brown and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger from one of the specialty plate funds, a memorial plate created in honor of the victims of the 2001 terror attacks. The money was used to help close the state budget deficit. The AP review uncovered that raid and also found that there is virtually no independent oversight of how organizations spend the money.

SUBMITTED BY ALEJANDRA CARDENAS In less than a week, Sunflower Farmers Market, the fullservice natural and organic grocer known for carrying “serious food at silly prices,” will open its fourth store in the California market. On Wednesday, June 6, Sunflower will open its new store in Fremont, located at 3900 Mowry Avenue. Grand opening festivities will include special savings on groceries, exciting giveaways, food samples and more. The Sunflower Farmers Market grand opening activities in Fremont will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7 a.m., and continue throughout the day with special savings in every department. Plenty of friendly associates will be available to ring customers up and answer any questions about the new store. Some of the day’s festivities include: • The first 200 customers in line to receive a numbered card will receive a free reusable shopping bag filled with healthy

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

groceries, valued at over $50 (with purchase) • The first 10,000 shoppers will receive a free reusable grocery bag with purchase (one per customer) • Live music • Vendor booths with tasty samples • Kids’ activities • Grand opening specials on groceries Sunflower CEO Chris Sherrell says the goal of Sunflower is to help Fremont families eat healthy for less. The store will offer a large selection of fresh produce, including local and organic choices, as well as allnatural meats from grass-fed beef to handmade sausages. The market is also known for vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairyfree options. Fremont’s Sunflower will serve up fresh seafood, a bakery featuring fresh, hot French bread daily, a deli with made-to-go meals, and a large bulk selection including dozens of varieties of coffee beans. In addition, Sunflower will carry natural living health and wellness products,

from vitamins to body care, and an extensive line of private label products. “Friendly, helpful customer service is also part of the neighborhood farmers market feel,” says Sherrell. A new sale flyer highlighting weekly grocery specials will be distributed to the community each Wednesday. Customers can preview the savings online every Tuesday morning at www.sunflowermarkets.com. Every Wednesday, weekly Sunflower sale flyers will overlap, meaning shoppers can save on last week’s specials and the current week’s specials. Sunflower calls it “Double Ad Wednesday.” Sunflower opened its first California store in Roseville a year ago in May. A Modesto location followed in October, with a Sacramento (Land Park) store opening this month. Sunflower Farmers Market currently has 37 stores throughout eight states: Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Texas, California and Oklahoma.

T

he Aphasia Tones©, a Cal State East Bay chorus comprised of persons learning to live fully with aphasia, will perform Wednesday, June 6 to raise awareness about aphasia and raise funds to support the campus Aphasia Treatment Program. “Aphasia Awareness: A Celebration!” will begin with a reception from 2:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. in the Music Building Courtyard, followed by the concert from 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. in MB 1055. The suggested donation is $5 per person. Aphasia, a communication disorder that most commonly occurs after a stroke, affects talking, understanding, reading, and writing. Nearly two million Americans are living with aphasia. The CSUEB Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders is home to a regionally and nationally recognized Aphasia Treatment Program [ATP], founded in 1996 by Professor Emeritus Jan Avent. In addition to speech and language treatment, the program includes communicative discussion groups and a book club among many

other things. Keeping with a legacy of innovation in ATP, current ATP director Ellen Bernstein-Ellis developed the Aphasia Tones© in 2009. Bernstein-Ellis notes that “access to the performing arts can be very limited following a stroke. The Aphasia Tones© allows individuals to derive the therapeutic and social benefits of singing in a group. They are empowered by being part of a community that shares common goals.” “Choir members with aphasia thrive, raise awareness about aphasia,

and inspire audiences with their joyous voices,” said Nidhi Mahendra, associate professor of CSD. Directed by graduate student clinicians Karen Fremont and Jacqui Standel, the 20-plus member Aphasia Tones©’ recent performance at the plenary session of the 2012 convention of the California Speech Language Hearing Association in San Jose brought the audience to its feet. The CSUEB performance will begin with a piano piece and introduction by

College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences Dean Kathleen Rountree, followed by several songs by the Aphasia Tones©, the presentation of a proclamation by the City of Hayward in recognition of Aphasia Awareness Month, and a video greeting from the ATP to the National Aphasia Association in honor of its 25th anniversary. Information is available at (510) 8853233 or by sending an e-mail to: ellen.bernstein-ellis@csueastbay.edu. Please allow plenty of time for parking due to special events on campus. Everyone, including those with handicapped permits, must purchase a parking permit. CSUEB welcomes persons with disabilities and will provide reasonable accommodation upon request. Please notify event sponsor in advance at (510) 885-3233 if accommodation is needed. Aphasia Awareness: A Celebration!

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

The Bookworm

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.

“The Power of Habit” BY

I

f there’s one thing in the world that everyone can count on, it’s that you’ll be in your office by a certain time each morning. You get there via the same route, without fail. That’s, of course, after you get up at the same time each day and eat the same basic breakfast. And why change? Your habits have served you well, and it’s nice not to have to think much about them. So is it possible to prod others into similarly good habits? How can a visit to your business become a part of your customers’ routine? Read “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg and find out. Do you remember brushing your teeth this morning? Chances are you don’t because you’ve gotten into the habit of brushing every day. Recent research indicates that over 40% of our daily actions are done by habit rather than by decision, which is why you probably don’t even recall grabbing the toothpaste. A part of your brain kicked in and did it automatically, since doing so – using a “habit loop” – saves effort by not having to think so hard. In making habit loops, says Duhigg, there are three steps. First, your brain looks for a cue, something at least a little familiar that it can use as a hint for behavior when presented with

CHARLES DUHIGG

an action. Next, it moves into a comforting routine. Lastly, it’s rewarded, which helps you remember how pleasurable that action was. Voila: your brain

“stops fully participating” in the decision to perform that task, and you’ve got a habit. “Habits are powerful, but delicate,” says Duhigg. Changing them can be done, but not without conscious effort. But how can you construct a new habit in other people? Create a craving, says Duhigg. Craving is “what powers the habit loop.” Then find the cue and define the reward. The routine will fall into place.

So you’ve managed to give up those vices you cherished, and it wasn’t easy. There were times, actually, that you really didn’t think you’d make it. “The Power of Habit” tells you why. By pulling together an abundance of anecdotes to illustrate the research he presents, author Charles Duhigg has created a book that’s as wonderfully satisfying as that first morning coffee and as enjoyable as playing on the internet for an hour. We’re alternately entertained, then schooled on how our minds work, even when damaged. It’s also quite amazing (and unsettlingly eerie) to see how big businesses use our habits to guide us into purchasing. Definitely, there’s a lot to learn from this book – I couldn’t get enough of those stories because the possibilities are so exciting - but Duhigg makes everything accessible and useable for habit-makers and habit-breakers alike. Much like a handful of potato chips, in fact, this book is hard to resist. If you’re looking to change the way things are done and habits are made, this book is what you need. “The Power of Habit” is no nail-biter, but it’s got advice you can count on. c.2012, Random House $28.00 / $32.95 Canada 373 pages

Participants will have the opportunity of studying under music directors from the most successful colleges, universities and schools in the Bay Area.

playing the oboe and it was the first opportunity I had for oneon-one oboe lessons. I learned to make reeds at this camp. These opportunities helped me enter college as a music major. This camp offers many different opportunities for the young musician. Hayward La Honda was the first chance I had to sing in a choir, take a jazz improvisation class and play in an orchestra. Every ambition I had was en-

couraged. Being in an atmosphere where I was surrounded by people with like interests and passions made my teen years such an enjoyable time," reflects a former participant. Recreational activities will include arts and crafts, swimming, equestrianism, canoeing, softball, archery, climbing tower, dances, zip line and hiking. The following enrollments are available: regular online tu-

ition ($725); sibling discount ($25) and Honor Band or Honor Orchestra Discount ($65). Some Scholarships are available for families with financial need.

scape painter noted for draftsmanship, simple composition, and dramatic effect of light. The artist will demo his skillful techniques of painting landscape in pastel. This event is free and the public is welcome. Mertens enjoys painting the varied scenery here in Northern California. Though his subject matter ranges from the rugged coastline to the Sierra Mountains, his focus is on scenery closer to home where he finds tranquility in the midst of the urban environment. Mertens grew up in Western Montana where he was fascinated by the changing light and the dramatic atmospheric effects on distant mountains—he looks for similar effects in the scenery here in Northern California and it is his aim to reflect this in his paintings. He simplifies composition and emphasizes the essence of the subject rather than the specific subject itself, to draw the viewer into the scene. Over the past ten years, the artist has shown in group exhibitions and juried competitions, receiving many awards for pastel landscapes. His pastels are in collections in the Bay Area. Mertens is a signature member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, and a member of Group 95, California Art Club, Livermore Art Association, Hayward Arts Council, and ART Inc.

AP WIRE SERVICE PHILADELPHIA (AP), The $412 check that DC Comics wrote to acquire Superman from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster has sold for $160,000. Stephen Fishler, CEO of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles, said Tuesday that the check was auctioned online to an unnamed buyer. The check is made out to Siegel and Shuster. It includes a line item for $130 showing DC paid for full ownership and rights to Superman. But a legal dispute over creator's rights to the character is still far from settled. Siegel and Shuster created Superman together while teenagers in Cleveland, Ohio, in the early 1930s. His first appearance was in “Action Comics” No. 1 in April 1938. The canceled check was saved by a DC Comics staffer in the 1970s and sat undisturbed in a desk drawer for 38 years.

A

fter completing the first rotation of my two-year probation on Truck 51, I was placed at Fire Station 3, working on Engine 53 in Irvington, to focus on paramedic skills. The objective during this rotation of probation is to learn Alameda County Emergency Medical System protocols and gain an understanding of methods that the Fremont Fire Department (FFD) uses to deliver the highest quality of patient care possible. Even though I have about eight years of experience as a paramedic working in other EMS systems, I had to demonstrate that I could provide good patient care and have a thorough grasp of the protocols before I would be certified to work as a solo paramedic member of FFD. One aspect I admire most about FFD is its passion to deliver the highest quality patient care possible and continually progress and improve care. This trend goes all the way back to

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

the 80’s when Fremont was one of the first fire departments in the country to staff their engine companies with paramedic/firefighters to provide advance life support care to the community. A passion for excellence has continued with the use of stateof-the-art equipment and training including the Autopulse CPR board from Zoll. Fremont was one of the first EMS agencies in the country to use this device and actually helped in its development. Autopulse provides higher quality chest compressions (administered during cardiac arrest) than humans and frees a crew member to perform other critical tasks. In addition to cutting edge technology, I appreciate the importance FFD places on Emergency Medical Services; a dedicated training division ensures that line personnel receive the most up-todate instruction to maintain superior proficiency. Fortunately, during my paramedic evaluation, I had the benefit of an excellent crew to

show me the ropes. Decades of experience and their passion for EMS helped me to quickly learn the system. The rotation started with an intense experience as my first call as lead paramedic on the crew was for a traumatic cardiac arrest when an elderly female was struck by a car while crossing the street. Unfortunately, the injuries the patient received were too great to revive her. However, in several other incidents, we were able to regain a pulse and viable blood pressure in patients after sudden cardiac arrests. During these calls, our crew worked smoothly and efficiently and I witnessed the incredible advantage of the Autopulse following a cardiac arrest. After several shifts with my new crew, I began to feel comfortable in the EMS system, not only with the treatment protocols but also with our tiered system. Generally in Fremont, the fire department is first to arrive on scene following a 911 call; we start patient care and within minutes, an ambulance from Paramedics Plus (a county contracted ambulance service) arrives on scene. We transfer responsibility for patient care and transport to a nearby hospital unless the patient is extremely ill. In such cases, the fire department paramedic will ride to the hospital with the ambulance to assist. This system appears to be efficient and patient-care oriented; I believe that citizens of Fremont are the beneficiaries of top quality EMS care. Following my 20-shift paramedic rotation on Engine 53, I successfully completed a comprehensive exam including a written test and several hands-on skills evaluations. I am now certified to work as a paramedic for the Fremont Fire Department.

Lucky ducklings rescued SUBMITTED BY MICHELLE POWELL Eleven ducklings probably weren’t feeling very fortunate after they slipped into a storm drain in a Union City neighborhood recently. A concerned resident asked the Union Sanitary District for assistance after tracking down the source of a chorus of anxious peeping in front of her home. She discovered a distressed brood gathered under the drain’s grate, but efforts to rescue them caused them to run into the pipe that led under the street. USD staff members Joe Mendoza and Joe Pereira worked with neighbors to slip a piece of cardboard through the grate to block off the main pipe’s opening, so the frightened youngsters stayed put near the curb. Mendoza and Pereira then used special tools to lift the grate, and the rescuers scooped the ducklings to There’s always one straggler: Union City residents Hadrian Cervantes (standing) safety.

took just a few minutes, once the right implements were available! Since no mama duck was in sight, the youngsters were taken toOhlone Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, which is located next to USD’s Newark pump station. When they are old enough to fend for

themselves, the ducklings will be released in a safe area. Union Sanitary District provides collection, treatment and disposal services to the cities of Fremont, Newark and Union City. For more information about USD, call (510) 4777500 or visitwww.unionsanitary.ca.gov.

A long-handled dustpan becomes the perfect duckling retrieval device. The ducklings were scooped out of the storm drain and taken to Ohlone Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Newark.

Seven Wieckowski bills approved SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA The Assembly Appropriations Committee passed seven bills by Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) on May 25, 2012, including a measure to fund a spinal cord injury research program named after Fremont Planning Commissioner Roman Reed. All seven bills now head to the Assembly floor for consideration. AB 1657 would raise roughly $3M for spinal cord injury research managed through the Reeve-Irvine Center at the University of California, Irvine. Researchers throughout the state can apply for grants. The bill is supported by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Brock Reeve, executive director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and brother of the late Christopher Reeve, and several of

the state’s top neurobiologists. “The program has provided $15M in state grants and leveraged almost $64M since its inception,” Wieckowski said. “This state-of-the-art research in nerve regeneration has the potential to improve the quality of life for all those living with paralysis and debilitating neurological diseases.” The program was created in 2000 by Assemblymember John Dutra. Reed was injured, while playing in a Chabot College football game. The other Wieckowski bills approved include: AB 1534, supported by Consumer Federation of California and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, among others, seeks to protect consumers from predatory auto sales practices at

“Buy Here, Pay Here” lots. It requires the lots to disclose the reasonable market value of the vehicle - much like new automobiles have displayed the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price on all new cars since 1958. AB 1968, supported by several law enforcement organizations, would improve the protection and personal safety of probation officers or deputy probation officers by allowing them to carry firearms but only as determined by the Chief Probation Officer on a case-by-case or unitby-unit basis. It requires the Chief Probation Officer to develop a plan for arming deputy probation officers whose duties involve high-risk caseloads no later than June 30, 2013. AB 1566 reduces the regulatory burden on the owners and

operators of above-ground storage tanks (AST) that hold toxic chemicals, including petroleum, while enhancing environmental and public health protection in three ways. First, it assigns statewide oversight of the AST program to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The AST law is the only local environmental health program lacking state oversight. It will require the State Fire Marshal to ensure consistency across federal, state and local programs. Second, it aligns state law with federal AST requirements, which will also help to ensure that the regulated community and the enforcement agencies have clear, non-duplicative requirements. Third, it makes AST penalty provisions consistent with similar state laws, such as the underground

storage tank program. AB 2529 improves the state’s drinking water by enabling the California Department of Public Health to streamline the process to correct small water system deficiencies, particularly in systems serving severely disadvantaged communities. AB 1442, supported by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, the Sierra Club and a number of water agencies, allows healthcare facilities to use common carriers for the transportation of all unwanted pharmaceuticals. AB 1519 requires trustees of specified retirement boards to complete a minimum of 24 hours of education within the first two years of assuming office. It also requires subsequent education for every two-year period the boardmember continues to serve.

Americans grew gloomier about the economy in May BY MAE ANDERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) – Americans grew much gloomier about the economy in May, causing a critical measure of consumer confidence to suffer its biggest decline in eight months and ending a period of steady optimism. Worries about jobs, housing and the stock market rattled consumers, even though gas prices are falling. The latest figures suggest Americans will need to see more encouraging economic signs before their concerns start to dissipate. The Conference Board, a private research group, reported Tuesday that its Consumer

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Confidence Index fell to 64.9, down from a revised 68.7 in April. Analysts had expected the index to climb to 70. The May figure, which represents the biggest drop since October, when the measure fell about 6 points, is now at its lowest level since January. Americans are still worried about slow hiring, declining home values, the stock market and a worsening European economy that they fear will negatively affect the U.S. “Consumers were less positive about current business and labor market conditions, and they were more pessimistic about the short-term outlook,” said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at the Conference Board. Consumer confidence is widely watched because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. May's figure is significantly below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy. The measure hasn't been near that level since December 2007. But the latest reading is still well

above the 40 figure reached last October and the all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009. The consumer confidence measure has zigzagged so far this year, dropping in January, rising in February and holding nearly steady after that. Analysts were hoping a slight rise in May would give some credence to the idea that the economy is stabilizing. Instead, the data, which was based on a survey conducted from May 1 through May 16 with about 500 randomly selected people nationwide, suggests that “the pace of economic growth in the months ahead may moderate,” Franco said. Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, said May's reading is disappointing but consistent with the sluggish recovery so far. “In some ways, it's a microcosm of the whole economic recovery,” he said. “Every once in a while hopes are raised that things are getting better, and then the bottom seems to fall out again.” Analysts say the inconsistent job market is preventing Americans from being more upbeat.

June 1, 2012

Hiring picked up earlier in the year, but slowed in March and April, possibly indicating that the economy's momentum faded in early spring. Economists say a warm winter led employers to move up some hiring and accelerate other activity that normally wouldn't occur until spring. A clearer picture of the jobs market will emerge Friday, when May employment figures are due. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 8.1 percent for May with an increase of 160,000 jobs, according to FactSet. That's above April's gains but below the growth pace set during the winter. Dana Berry, a public-relations manager in Arkansas, says she knows people who are still searching for a job, but she has seen some positive signs, like her oldest son landing a job after graduation. Gas prices are more of a concern, she said. Gasoline has dropped 27 cents per gallon since early April. The national average was $3.67 per gallon at the start of the Memorial Day weekend.

Some experts say it could fall as low as $3.50 by July 4. “I travel quite a bit, so fuel and airline expenses are something I watch closely,” Berry said. “It's a relief when the price of fuel goes down.” Mark Olwick, a designer at Microsoft in Seattle, said he still has concerns about the economy. “I'm cautiously more confident,” he said, “but there is still significant work to be done, especially around banking reform, job creation and gas price speculation.” He said he has not seen gas prices fall in the Pacific Northwest, and that led him to postpone traveling. “I'd love to have taken a road trip over the Memorial Day weekend, but when it costs me $70 for each tank of gas, there's just no way I could afford it,” he said. Adding to Americans' job concerns, the stock market in May is on track for its worst month since last September. The S&P 500 is down 4.6 percent for the month.


June 1, 2012

But on Tuesday, Wall Street seemed to shrug off the report. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 68 points by mid-afternoon. That indicates investors may be more confident in the economic recovery than consumers, said John Lonski, chief economist of Moody's. “Financial markets are giving short shrift to the drop in consumer confidence,” Lonski said. Investors may have been paying closer attention to the much sunnier Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment that came out Friday. That index, which is also considered a measure of consumer confidence, jumped to 79.3 in May

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

for its best reading since October 2007 – two months before the recession began. The biggest reason for the difference, economists said, was probably timing: The Conference Board finished its survey May 16, while the University of Michigan survey continues throughout the month. That means the Conference Board didn't capture all the recent declines in gas prices, and it finished just as worries about Europe's financial crisis hit a crescendo, ahead of an international summit. The markets could also have played a role. The Dow fell sharply in the first half of the month, then leveled off after May 16.

The timing “does make a difference, especially in a month where we were riding a roller-coaster,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. Meanwhile, recent signs that an economic slowdown is spreading beyond Europe to fast-growing countries like China have raised fears that U.S. companies could pull back on hiring as demand weakens for their products. The housing market also is still weak, and many consumers are seeing their retirement investments shrink because of falling stock prices. Associated Press Writer Christopher S. Rugaber in Washington contributed to this report.

Backup power probed at ailing Cal nuke plant BY MICHAEL R. BLOOD ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES (AP),The troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant operated for three decades with equipment that might have temporarily cut off the plant's emergency power supply in the event of an earthquake, government filings revealed Tuesday. The disclosure by Southern California Edison about a possible backup power problem comes amid a probe into excessive wear on tubing that has sidelined the seaside plant for nearly four months. The company disabled the equipment, a vibration sensor, and reported to federal regulators that the problem was being analyzed as a threat to plant safety. Other back-up systems were in place during that time. “Engineers are continuing to analyze the condition and have not reached a final conclusion if the sensor would actually cause a shut-

down during an earthquake,” a company statement said. A steady supply of electricity is a critical issue at nuclear plants, which need power to control heat in the reactors. A tsunami destroyed backup generators at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant – setting off the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. At issue at San Onofre is a vibration sensor in use since 1981 on emergency diesel generators, which start if the plant's outside power is cut – a possibility during an earthquake. Engineers found the sensor – designed to protect components inside the generators during operation – might incorrectly stop them during an earthquake or an aftershock. According to records filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Edison engineers are looking into whether ``high vibration ... could interrupt the onsite electrical generation'' dur-

ing a temblor. If the generators fail, the plant can use battery power for up to four hours to operate steam generators to cool the twin reactors. The plant between Los Angeles and San Diego has been dark since January while investigators try to determine why tubing that carries radioactive water in relatively new steam generators eroded at an unusual rate, in some cases rapidly. Gradual wear is common in such tubing, but the rate of erosion in some tubes at San Onofre alarmed officials since the equipment is relatively new. The company has said 1,300 tubes will be taken out of service, although the number is well within the margin to allow the generators to keep operating. Edison initially targeted a June restart for at least one of the twin reactors, but that appears increasingly unlikely as investigators continue to review the widespread problem.

Men’s Baseball

Season ends for Mission SUBMITTED BY KENNY JACOBY PICTURES SUBMITTED BY DAN MARK The Mission San Jose (MSJ) varsity baseball team’s season has come to an end, but not before reaching the quarterfinals of the Division 1 North Coast Section (NCS) championships - the first time since 1991. MSJ pulled off a major upset in their first-round NCS

game, edging out San Ramon Valley (SRV) in a nail-biter ending 3-2. SRV had been seeded fourth in NCS, while MSJ was seeded 13th. In the second round, MSJ was eliminated as they lost 13-3 to Granada, who was seeded fifth in NCS. The victory over SRV was the highlight of MSJ’s season. Brandon Facha pitched another great game, as he was able to keep the

dangerous SRV bats in check. Facha threw a complete game. After a wild first inning (SRV 2 - MSJ 1), both teams regained their composure and played great defense, and both pitchers were throwing masterfully. Neither team scored another run through the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth, however, MSJ rallied behind some solid hitting from the top of the order to put MSJ in the lead 3-2. SRV had a hit in

each of the fifth and sixth innings, but Facha and MSJ’s defense kept SRV from scoring in either inning. MSJ’s carried their 3-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning as Facha struck out the first batter of the inning on a nasty 3-2 curveball, and MSJ upset the heavily favored SRV by a final score of 3-2. After their victory, MSJ traveled to Granada for an NCS quarterfinal game. Unfortunately for MSJ, Granada’s hitting was unstoppable, as they collected 17 hits and 13 earned runs over the course of five innings pounding MSJ’s three pitchers in a 13-3 victory limited to five innings due to the 10-run rule in effect for the NCS tournament. MSJ finished with an overall record of 13-12-1 this season, highlighted by the NCS victory over SRV. With only two senior starters, the MSJ varsity baseball team is looking forward to a productive 2013 season.

Senior Jessica Marin would get the start in the circle for Head Coach Chris Krisman. Mariners got out to a quick 6-0 lead on a run in the first inning and 5 more in the second. After Lower Lake answered with two runs in the top of the third, MC put the game out of reach on a 12-run bottom of the third inning as they sent 16 batters to the plate. Hosts would add two more runs in the fourth before LL scored two in the top of the fifth off junior reliever Kristin Hill to give the Mariners a 20-5 win shortened to 4 1/2 innings on the 10 run mercy rule. Offensively for MC it was Marin with a home run and a single; sophomore shortstop Lauren Brown a homer and two singles; junior catcher Leilani Akai a triple, two singles and she reached on an error; junior first baseman Cassidy Lyon and freshman second baseman Savannah Rosales-Brand both with 3 singles; and freshman center fielder Breana Pearsall four-for-four on four bunt singles.

Salesian answered with a run in the bottom half and added five more in the second inning for an early 6-2 lead. Mariners mounted a comeback with a run in the third and two in the fifth to close the gap to 6-5. However, that is all the visitors could muster as they fell 6-5 to end their season at 14-8.

SUBMITTED BY CHRISTINE BENDER The Sun Gallery in Hayward presents “Spatial Expressions,” featuring the Clay Monotypes of Bonnie Randall Boller and the Sculpture of Vakil Kuner in the Ken Cook annex gallery from June 1 through June 30. Both artists use abstraction to provide another way of looking at our world. Boller says, "My abstractions come from seeing the world intimately, as if looking through a magnifying glass." She uses Clay Monotype, a painterly form of printmaking that uses liquid clay slip as the ink, printed onto a non-woven fabric substrate called Reemay. Historical layers of slip are transferred from a leather hard slab of clay onto the fabric with a wooden roller. Each print is archival and one of kind.

“Stratum” Clay Monotype by Bonnie Randall Boller

In a complementary way, Kuner uses wood, steel, and cast aluminum in abstractions of plant forms and landscapes. "I love using the contrast of machine made materials with the organic forms found in nature," says Kuner. "The interplay of materials, form, and space can evoke emotions of beauty, majesty, and sometimes the whimsy."

CORPUZ, MILPITAS PD In August 2011, the Milpitas Police Department received a report that San Jose resident Johnny Urias was possibly in possession of child pornography. Milpitas Police Detectives discovered Urias was a teacher at an elementary school in the Alum Rock School District, in San Jose. In September 2011, Milpitas Police Detectives developed enough information to obtain and execute search warrants at Urias’ previous home in Milpitas, his current home in San Jose, his classroom, and vehicle. Several computers were seized during the investiga-

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD May 26 Officers were dispatched to 40868 Ingersoll Terrace where the homeowner told Dispatch that she heard glass breaking downstairs and she believes someone is inside her house. She then starts talking about a loose rabbit in the house and her husband confronting someone downstairs as she overhears, “I have a surprise for you”…Ultimately the caller was taken for a medical evaluation. Investigated by Officer Perry. May 27 Officers were dispatched to 37600 block of Carriage Circle on a report of persons in a vehicle not recognized to the neigh-

tion. The Alum Rock School District was informed of the investigation and immediately placed Urias on leave from teaching in the school district. The seized computers were sent to the Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children (SV-ICAC) Task Force for forensic examination, and the investigation remained on-going. In May 2012, Milpitas Police Detectives developed probable cause to arrest Urias for possession of child pornography and manufacturing child pornography. Urias was arrested May 30 at his residence, 1400(B) Merry Lane in San Jose and booked at the Santa Clara County Main Jail, Milpitas

borhood by the caller. Ultimately, a male goes to jail for warrants. Handled by Officer Burkhammer. Clerk calls about a male in the 7-11 store on Decoto with a mask covering his face. The clerk waited for PD but decided to go back inside to assist a new customer. Arriving units could not locate the potential suspect. The clerk is still a little edgy from the last 211 there. A surveillance video will be examined to see if anything really happened. May 28 Citizens at Central Park reported a man slumped over the steering wheel of a vehicle. The doors of the vehicle were locked and the man was not responding. Officers arrived and forced entry into the vehicle to check on the welfare of the man. FFD responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene. The 44 year-old man had been exercising at the park just prior to entering his vehicle. FPD

Police Detectives have executed an additional search warrant at Urias’ San Jose residence in search of additional evidence. The Milpitas Police Department has been working closely with the San Jose Police Department and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 5862400 or their local police department. Anonymous information can be given by calling (408) 586-2500 or via the Milpitas Police Department website at: http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/police/crime_tip.asp

detectives assisted with notification and the investigation. Preliminary investigation revealed no suspicious circumstances. ACSO Coroner eventually took over the case. Family members called to report that a male was extremely intoxicated and had kicked in a side door to the house. When officers arrived on Cripps Place, the male was gone. Union City PD called soon after and advised that the male had just driven into their town and hit several parked cars before abandoning his truck. UCPD tracked him down and he was arrested. Officer Lobue is pursuing a complaint. Burglaries: Centerville Jr. High. Two classrooms burglarized. Attempt near pool area at Parkway Towers. 5597 Butano Park Drive May 29 A reporting party called, saying his girlfriend is in her car at

39370 Civic Center Drive, unconscious and there are signs saying “poison gas, stay away.” There is a smell of “rotten eggs” around the car. The area was secured and Fremont Fire hazmat is called to the scene. They determined that there was still a dangerous level of hydrogen sulfide gas inside the car. The car was vented and the lethal dose quickly dropped to an acceptable level. The scene was turned over to investigations, and a body recovered by the coroner. May 30 Officers responded to 37600 Canterbury Street on a report of an interrupted residential burglary. The suspect, a Hispanic male adult, 20's, wearing a black/white jacket and jeans, attempted to enter the home by kicking in a side door. The suspect was confronted by the homeowner and fled on foot prior to entering the home. Officers were dispatched to the area of Farwell/Stevenson after receiving several 9-1-1

calls about a female being forced into a vehicle and yelling for the police. Witnesses provided a description of the vehicle as it fled the area at a high-rate of speed. As officers were responding, Detective Holguin located the vehicle in the area of Blacow and Sherwood. Detective Holguin could see a male holding a female inside the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The male driver refused to stop and a short vehicle pursuit ensued. The suspect eventually crashed the vehicle on Hyde Common at Prospect Terrace and fled on foot. Officers gave chase and were able to catch and detain the suspect at Hyde/Thurston. The victim and her young children were located inside the vehicle and were treated for minor injuries as a result of the collision. The 44-year-old male suspect was arrested and charged with kidnapping, false imprison-

ment, felony hit and run, evading a police officer, and child endangerment. During the investigation, it is determined the suspect is the husband/father of the vic-

tims and the incident started as a domestic dispute. A single BMA entered Subway - Charter Square and robbed the clerk at knifepoint. After he tore

the phone from the wall he fled on foot. Employees called the Owner, who then called PD. Suspect described as a possible transient.

Newark Police Log SUBMITTED BY NEWARK POLICE DEPARTMENT May 25 At 11:33 a.m., Officer Knutson investigated a theft of jewelry from 200 Newpark Mall (Macys) that occurred on May 5. The suspect, Aaron Hickson, was arrested in Sunnyvale for theft of Jewelry from Macy’s in their jurisdiction. The Macy’s loss prevention positively identified him as the suspect from the Newark theft that occurred on May 5. Macy’s advised police that they had five incidents in different cities involving Hickson and were going to seek prosecution on all five cases. At 2:26 p.m., officers responded to the NewPark Mall food court regarding a battery that had just occurred. The parties were separated prior by arriving officers. At the end of the investigation, it was determined the victim was punched numerous times by Lisa Singh of Hayward for unknown reasons. The victim placed Singh under citizen’s arrest for the assault. Singh was transported to Fremont Jail where she was booked for assault and battery. At 10:21 p.m., officers responded to a report at Bridge Port apartments on Cherry Street about a robbery involving two males and a female. Officer Taylor met with the victim and ultimately determined that victim had previously hired a prostitute. It seems the prostitute and her two pimps came back. The victim let them into his apartment, they ate shrimp, and then the two pimps started to hit the victim,

demanding money. The incident was documented. May 26 At 12:01 a.m., Officer Ramos and Detective Todd conducted a pedestrian stop of several subjects in front of a residence in the 6100 block of Rockrose Drive. Nine adults were stripping copper wiring in the driveway of a residence. Officers located several possibly stolen items including a generator, a television, a large amount of copper wire and other miscellaneous electronics at the scene. Calls were made to local law enforcement agencies but no victims have been identified. The items were seized for safekeeping. The investigation is ongoing. At 1:31 a.m., Officers responded to a disturbance and loud party with possible gunshots heard on Long Street. Upon arrival, officers located a 20-year old victim leaving the scene, who had a facial injury from a gunshot. The victim was subsequently transported via ambulance to Eden Medical Center for treatment. He was treated and later released from the hospital. Numerous witnesses were interviewed, but versions of how the shooting occurred varied widely. Officers received conflicting information. There was a significant number of documented Norteno gang members present at the party. At this time police have no leads due to the lack of cooperation from witnesses. May 27 Officers responded to a burglar alarm at a residence in the Lake area at 3:12 p.m. Officer Nobbe

located two suspects on Worthing Drive and Edgewater Drive. During the investigation, it was determined that suspect, Erik Aromin of Union City, had entered the unlocked side gate of a house and stolen a bicycle from the rear yard. The bicycle was recovered at the scene and was released to the owners. A search of Aromin revealed numerous stolen items such as a social security card, mail, checkbooks, and other personal documents. A victim positively identified some of the items. Officer Nobbe was able to track down a total of four additional victims. Aromin was arrested for petty theft of the bicycle and possession of stolen property. At 8:24 p.m., while Officers were monitoring the crowd at the Salsa Festival at Swiss Park, Giancarlo Zapata of Hayward thought it would be a good idea to try to open the door to the K-9 patrol car. Fortunately for Zapata’s sake, Officers were just steps away and able to take him into custody before he met K-9 Ares. Zapata was obviously too intoxicated to care for his own safety and was arrested for public drunkenness. May 28 Officer Taylor was detailed to a residential burglary on Magnolia Street at 9:11 p.m. The suspect(s) broke a rear sliding door and entered the residence between 1000-2100. Officers were detailed to 5849 Jarvis Avenue (Let’s Cup Cake) on a burglary alarm at 4:47 a.m. Officer Smith arrived on scene and discovered a hole in the wall to continued on page 31

Paul Shamieh of Papa John’s Pizza in Newark

Established by the State Legislature in 1997, STAR testing has since developed modified formats to include all students, no matter what learning challenges are involved. The State Board of Education (SBE) reports achievement levels for each pupil: Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Below Basic or Far Below Basic; composite scores that can be analyzed in many different ways are given for school performance. “Students who test at the ‘Advanced’ level in all core classes are awarded a Golden State Seal Diploma, a high honor,” says Miller.

Academic Performance Index (API) ratings are given to schools through a complex formula using a composite of California Achievement Tests, growth targets and, for high schools, the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). This is an important tool for educators and an indicator of school performance. Miller notes that in order to make sense of exam results, schools need the willing and active participation of students. “If stu-

dents do not take the test or are not motivated to concentrate on the questions, we are missing important data.” Also, the impact of lower API ratings can have a detrimental effect on college admissions for graduates since grade comparisons may favor those from highly rated high schools. Just as STAR exams are ubiquitous throughout schools, so is the love of pizza. In conversations with Washington High School Activities Director

Helen Paris, Paul Shamieh of Papa John’s Pizza in Newark agreed to donate a pizza in exchange for a can of food but also responded to Paris’ challenge to “take it up a notch.” A noticeable lack of enthusiasm for STAR testing among older students at the school was a problem. In response, a “Star Focus Group” of concerned students formed; they needed to inform others of the serious consequences of indifferent efforts, both to themselves and

the school. A challenge was issued to the student body… if Washington High School achieved a 99 percent attendance level for STAR testing, Papa Johns would give a free pizza to every Washington High School student in exchange for a can of food for families in need. Motivating some students to take STAR testing seriously can be a difficult task so the Focus Group, including students from all classes – freshman, sophomore, junior and seniors, worked to encourage students to

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

attend STAR exams and raise the level of participation. They were faced with a big challenge; some students felt no reason to care and saw no impact of STAR testing on their school experience; peer pressure from older students had changed positive perceptions of STAR testing to one of indifference and students more focused on ‘life skills’ classes and electives rather than core academic subjects, saw little relevance. The focus group responded saying, “We told them that if our school ratings go

down, their favorite electives would be in jeopardy.” When free pizza was thrown into the equation, students became very interested. “They were really heated up about that.” Never underestimate the power of pizza. The Washington High School Huskies did not disappoint and 99.5 percent of eligible students showed up for STAR testing. On May 23, true to his word, Shamieh was on campus to help hand out certificates for free pizzas to a huge crowd of Husky STARs.

embers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) provided “Helping Hands” community service throughout several communities in California on Saturday, April 28, 2012. In Union City, they planted and staked trees along Alvarado Boulevard and Fair Ranch Road to mark Arbor Day in Union City. They also installed 600 feet of drip line and spread 30 cubic yards of mulch to help the trees thrive. The project was assisted by Union City Public Works employees Bill Bontadelli and Julio Duran. The Helping Hands program was officially established in 1998 in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile to identify service being done by members of the LDS Church. That same year, it was implemented on a large-scale in Brazil as part of a countrywide day of service organized by the church. It has since been used in many countries. Mormon Helping Hands operates under the direction of local stake and district presidents and bishops. The activities provide community service and are not proselytizing in nature. Mormon Helping Hands both responds to disasters such as hurricanes and gives aid aimed at improving conditions in the community for all to benefit. The LDS Church group has undertaken numerous volunteer projects in the Decoto and Alvarado Districts of Union City. Members were well-organized, productive, hard-working citizens who and have completed many great projects in Union City. A big “Thank You” to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Prepare for an emergency - respond safely to an earthquake SUBMITTED BY TAMAR SARKISSIAN

What to Do Before: Prepare an emergency plan and conduct an emergency drill. Prepare and maintain an emergency preparedness kit to be self-sufficient for at least three days, and preferably up to one week, following an earthquake. Evaluate your home. Have your building and appliances inspected to assure that they are able to withstand a significant earthquake. Know the location of your gas service shutoff valve, and how to shut off your gas supply. Most gas appliances have a shutoff valve located near the appliance that lets you turn off the gas to that appliance only. Know which of your appliances uses gas, and where the appliance shutoff valves are located. In some cases, turning off the gas at the appliances shutoff valve will suffice. Know the location of the main electric switch and how to turn off your electric supply. What to Do During: If you are indoors, stay indoors and take cover under a sturdy desk or table, or stand in an interior doorway. Stay away from exterior walls and windows, masonry veneers (such as fireplaces), tall furniture, and hanging pictures or mirrors. If you are cooking in the kitchen, turn off the stove before you take cover. If you are outdoors, get into the open away from buildings and power lines. Be alert for falling debris. If you are driving, pull to the side of the road and stop if it is safe. Move your vehicle out of the normal traffic pattern as much as possible. Do not stop on or under overpasses, bridges, or tunnel. Do not stop under or near electrical power lines, light posts, trees, or signs. Stay in your car until the earthquake is over. What to Do After: Ensure that everyone is safe. Inspect your building for damage. Do not use

electrical switches, appliances, telephones or any flame if you suspect a gas leak, because sparks can ignite gas. If you smell gas, hear gas escaping, see a broken gas line, or suspect a broken gas line, evacuate the building. Find a phone away from the building and call PG&E or 9-1-1 immediately. If it is safe to do so, turn off the gas service shutoff valve normally located near the gas meter. Do not shut off the gas service shutoff valve unless you find the presence of any one of these conditions because there may be a considerable delay before PG&E can turn your service back on. If leaking gas starts to burn, do not try to put the flame out. Evacuate the building. Call 9-1-1 and PG&E immediately. If it is safe to do so, turn off the gas service shutoff valve normally located near the gas meter. Once the gas is shut off at the meter, do not try to turn it back on yourself. Only PG&E or another qualified professional should turn the gas back on. Check for downed or damaged electric utility lines. Stay away from downed power lines and never touch wires lying on the ground, wires hanging on poles, or objects that may be touching them. Downed wires still may be carrying current and could shock, injure or even kill if touched. Check for damaged household electrical wiring and shut off the power at the main electric switch if you suspect any damage. If the power goes out, turn off all electric appliances, and unplug major electric appliances to prevent possible damage when the power is turned back on. After a major earthquake, outside help may not be available for at least three days. PG&E urges customers to prepare and learn how to respond during and after an earthquake. Useful emergency preparedness information can be found at the following websites: The American Red Cross (www.redcross.org), the California Office of Emergency Services (www.oes.ca.gov), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (www.fema.gov) and the Earthquake Country Alliance (www.earthquakecountry.info/roots/index.php).
