ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH Recently, a group of Fremont students had the chance to create their very own personal commercial, a salute to favorite things about their school… Oliveira Elementary. This opportunity came about when Jenny Inman, who teaches a combined 5th/6th grade class of diverse learners, invited her twin brother, Jeremy, a filmmaker currently living in Los Angeles, to speak to the students about his career. “I explained that as a child I enjoyed drawing and made action figures,” said Jeremy Inman. “Making independent movies is a fun career, but it also lets the students continued on page 32

SUBMITTED BY TAMIE LOPEZ The Native American Studies Program through Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) is holding; “Honoring Our Youth - Powwow 2012.” Everyone is invited to this gathering on Saturday, June 9, noon to 4 p.m., at the Fremont Adult School.

Alameda County Library’s Annual Summer Reading Game Expands! Summer is approaching and the Alameda County Library is pleased to announce its newly expanded Summer Reading Game. For the first time, there will be games for pre-readers, children, teens and adults, so all ages are welcome to participate! This year’s theme is “Reading is So Delicious!” and ties in with other programs we’ll be featuring on healthy eating. It will run from June 11, to August 11. Library patrons can sign up and get their game board at any of the Alameda County Library's branches, including Albany, Castro Valley, Centerville, Dublin, Fremont Main, Irvington, Newark, Niles, San Lorenzo, Union City, and the Bookmobile. They will use their game board to keep track of time spent reading or completing fun activities. And of course there will be prizes and free books for participants, in addition to exciting raffle prizes! Summer reading programs are an important part of library programming because evidence shows that children typically regress academically over the long summer holiday. And, youth who practice their reading skills over the summer break return to school better

This program is presented by the Alameda County Library, with support from the Alameda County Library Foundation. Other sponsors include Chabot Space and Science Center, Museum of Children’s Art (MOCHA), The Lawrence Hall of Science, Oakland A’s, Target and Wal-Mart.

Proposed county budget presented to board SUBMITTED BY GUY ASHLEY Alameda County Administrator Susan S. Muranishi on Tuesday, June 5, presented a Proposed Alameda County Budget for FY 2012-13 that calls for eliminating 37 vacant positions and other reductions in order to close a funding gap of $88.1 million. Muranishi said the funding gap shows that Alameda County continues to be squeezed financially as a result of a protracted economic slump, with demand for safety net services remaining unusually high and the resources to pay for these services diminished. But she also noted that the budget gap is under $100 million for the first time in four years, which suggests that the County’s concerted efforts to lower costs are having a positive impact. While County supervisors face no small task in balancing the budget for FY 2012-13, they can take some consolation in the clear signs that sacrifices made in recent years – including a four-year freeze on costof-living increases for most County employees and community based organizations who contract with the County – are helping to stabilize County finances. Moderate upturns in the local economy, including rising real estate prices and increasing numbers of homes sold, provide some reason for optimism that the trend toward diminishing budget deficits will continue,
Muranishi said. “We fully recognize the contributions made by service providers, County departments and agencies, and our 9,000-plus employees in order to maintain essential services and keep the County on solid financial footing,’’ she said “These sacrifices have helped us immensely during some very difficult times. But let there be no doubt that the tough times continue - as evidenced by an $88.1 million budget gap for the coming year that will require some difficult decisions to close.’’ The 2012-2013 Proposed Budget is balanced and provides more than $2.6 billion in total County spending authority. It was unveiled amid signs that an economy that has been in decline for several years is at the beginning of a slow recovery. Employers are adding jobs, initial claims for unemployment have dropped and businesses appear poised to increase spending. While housing prices remain far off their peaks, some indications point to slowly rising values beginning next year. However, the direction in which the economy is headed remains uncertain, as evidenced by last week’s surprisingly dismal jobs report and revised GDP figures for the first quarter. A healthier economy would improve the County’s fiscal condition by decreasing demand for County services and continued on page 21

Assembly approves Roman Reed spinal cord injury bill SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski’s (D-Fremont) bill to secure funding for state-of-the-art research to find treatments for spinal cord injuries and paralysis was approved by the state Assembly on May 31, 2012 by a 46-24 vote. The bill now heads to the state Senate for consideration. AB 1657 would fund the Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Program, named after the Fremont Planning Commissioner and research advocate. Since its creation in 2000, the program has secured almost $80M in state funds and federal grants from the National Institutes of Health and other sources but funding from the state was
eliminated due to budget cuts. “For every dollar we put in we receive about $4 in federal research funding,” Wieckowski said. “This program provides hope for those dealing with paralysis and provides the resources necessary for our best researchers to undertake these research projects. That’s why our state’s biotech community, the University of California and our top neuroscientists support this bill.” Funding for the bill would be derived from a $1 penalty on all moving traffic violations. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic. Eight other states have enacted similar legislation to fund spinal cord research. The program is run through the University of California and
administered by the Reeve-Irvine Research Center at the University of California, Irvine. A recent study commissioned by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control reveals that approximately 5.6 million Americans are afflicted by some form of paralysis and 1.2 million live with a spinal cord injury. Roman Reed, his father, Don, the University of California, and Boston Scientific all testified on behalf of the bill before committees in the Assembly. The bill is also supported by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Brock Reeve, the brother of the late actor Christopher Reeve, and the California Healthcare Institute.

It’s amazing for us to see the transformation of a patient’s spirit when she’s trying on beautiful undergarments or a wig. We try to get fun items in pretty colors so that our patients can go out feeling pretty again. “Another important aspect of our programs is that we are a non-profit organization, and we work with women to sort through the red tape of their insurance coverage,” she adds. “We also offer assistance to women who have no insurance coverage.

Zero net energy design competition SUBMITTED BY TAMAR SARKISSIAN Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) joins American Institute of Architects, San Francisco chapter (AIA SF) to announce the opening of the second annual Architecture at Zero competition for zero net energy (ZNE) building designs. ZNE buildings produce as much clean energy as they use during a year through a combination of designed energy efficiency and on-site, grid-tied renewable energy production. The Architecture at Zero competition is open to all entrants, including designers, academics, researchers and students. To help generate innovative ideas for zero net energy building designs, the Architecture at Zero competition will focus on the design of a zero net energy building and schematic design on a campus site at the University of California, Merced. International experts will judge the entries and award up to $25,000 in total prizes in October. “San Francisco American Institute of Architects is excited to see the hard work and thought that go into this year’s zero net energy building design entries,” said AIA SF Executive Director Margie O’Driscoll. “The winning designs will be those that are not only aesthetically interesting, but also create zero net energy spaces that help UC Merced continue its leadership in driving innovation.” This is the second year that PG&E and AIA SF have held the Architecture at Zero competition. The competition supports an action plan of the California Public Utilities Commission for all new residential construction in California to be zero net energy by 2020. The goal for new commercial construction is to achieve zero net energy by 2030. “The Architecture at Zero competition helps PG&E drive innovation in California’s buildings and prove the feasibility of zero net energy building technologies for our customers,” said Steve Malnight, vice president of customer energy solutions for PG&E. “This year’s competitors have the unique opportunity to focus their zero net energy building designs on a site at UC Merced’s state-ofthe-art campus.” Last year’s competition site was located in Emeryville, and the winners were Chris Parlette (Berkeley; Towards Net Zero Energy), Tom Tang and Yijie Dang (New York City; Chimera), HOK San Francisco (San Francisco; Battery Park, From Zero to Positive), Jihyoon Yoon (Harvard University; Phototactic - Ville), and Curtis Ryan, Sara Maas, Kyle Blomquist and Megan Gelazus (University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee; Ripple Effect). Competition entries will be juried by the following international experts: Bob Berkebile, FAIA, Principal, BNIM Architects; Ed Mazria, Founder, Architecture 2030; Alison Kwok, Professor, University of Oregon; Stephen Selkowitz, Program Head, Building Technologies Department, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The deadline for entries is Oct. 1, 2012. To register or learn more, visit architectureatzero.com.

Safely recycle used light bulbs SUBMITTED BY MADDIE SMITH Local retailers in Alameda County are now making it easy for residents to recycle fluorescent light bulbs at no cost. Administered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and StopWaste.Org, the “Bring ‘Em Back” campaign encourages residents to bring used compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and fluorescent tubes of all shapes and sizes to participating retail locations for proper disposal. Currently, fluorescent bulbs cannot be recycled through residential curbside programs and should not be disposed of in landfills. Through “Bring ‘Em Back,” there are now 18 stores in Alameda County that will accept used fluorescent bulbs and tubes from residents. By bringing used CFLs to participating retailers, residents can be assured that they are disposing of fluorescent bulbs in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. “Most people understand they can’t throw away or recycle compact fluorescent bulbs with
their bottles and cans, but they don’t know what to do with them,” says Judi Ettlinger of StopWaste.Org. “Now there is a convenient solution for residents in Alameda County.” To encourage residents to properly recycle their used fluorescent bulbs, Pete’s Hardware (2569 Castro Valley Blvd., Castro Valley) will enter every resident who brings in a used fluorescent bulb or tube on Saturday, June 9 between 9 a.m.-1 p.m. into a drawing to receive a gift basket filled with state of the art energy efficiency products. “We are excited to participate in ‘Bring ‘Em Back’ and hope that, by encouraging residents to bring in their used CFLs on June 9, they will see how easy it is to properly recycle their fluorescent light bulbs and tubes going forward,” says Linda Roark, owner of Pete’s Hardware. Fluorescent lamps are a costeffective method to decrease your lighting bill and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, disposal of flu-
SUBMITTED BY RHONDA RIGENHAGEN If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry family member to your household, there’s an incentive to rescue a homeless dog or cat this weekend. As part of the Maddie’s Matchmaker Adoptathon on Saturday and Sunday, Furry Friends’ usual $90-350 adoption fee will be waived for families who bring home a pet rescued in Alameda County. In addition, Furry Friends Rescue receives a stipend ranging from $500 to $2,000 for each adoption. The generous grant from Maddie’s
orescent lamps at the end of their useful life presents a challenge as they contain small amounts of mercury vapor that should not be returned to landfill. Fluorescent lamps were banned from disposal in California landfills in 2006. Through proper disposal, 99.9 percent of spent fluorescent lamps can be reclaimed through recycling. “PG&E’s work with Alameda County makes it easier for residents to safely dispose of their energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs and tubes at the end of their useful lives,” says Jessica Waggoner, Program Manager of Government and Community Partnerships for PG&E. “Creating successful partnerships, like the ones we have forged with Alameda County, allows us to pursue our goals of helping customers reduce their energy use, while protecting the environment..” To find a list of Alameda County stores participating in “Bring ‘Em Back”, residents can visit www.BringEmBackAC.org.
Fund enables the organization to save and care for homeless animals throughout the year. Furry Friends cat showcases are 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the following Fremont locations: • Petco, 3780 Mowry Ave. • Petsmart, 39410 Argonaut Way (in the Hub) Dogs showcase at Pet Food Express, 39010 Paseo Padre Pkwy. (Raley’s Shopping Center) Saturday from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Visit FurryFriendsRescue.org to view available animals. Save time and pre-qualify by completing an online application.

ou’re reading this because you are able to get out and about and pursue the activities and interests you enjoy. And you often find yourself in the company of others who are able to do the same. But do you know any seniors whose circumstances make it difficult to participate in activities outside the home? Maybe they are frail or have difficulty walking due to balance issues or other handicaps. They may have fallen in the past and have restricted their activities as a result, becoming more at risk for falls. If this sounds like someone you know, consider telling them about the Fall Prevention program at LIFE ElderCare. At absolutely no cost, the Fall Prevention program will create a customized exercise routine to help the senior develop better balance. A nursing student will come to the senior’s home for an hour, once a week, to provide instruction on the proper way to perform each exercise. At the end of 12 weeks, many participants have remarked on how much their balance im-
proved, and also how much more confident they are about preventing a fall. So, at the end of your active day, won’t you take some time to think about someone who cannot join you in your active day and would benefit from the Fall Prevention program? We would love to add another deserving senior to our “well-balanced” team! Take a moment and give your friend a call. Here’s Sandy’s phone number: (510) 574-2087. She will answer any questions about the program and she can set the initial appointment with those who are ready to begin. Now is the perfect time. Tri City seniors, sixty years of age and older, no matter your health issues, bedridden, chair bound or simply afraid of falling… by doing custom designed exercises daily your mobility will improve. LIFE ElderCare’s Fall Prevention program includes a personalized 12-week in home exercise program, a home safety check and a medication review. Learn about the benefits towards decreasing the risk for falls and fear of falling. Is that the phone I hear ringing? I surely hope so.
Tacos Uruapan, a family owned Mexican restaurant in Hayward, has partnered with Treeview/Bidwell Elementary School to launch the Burrito Genius program. The Solorio family has a history of supporting the community in Hayward, and decided to expand their efforts by developing a program that targets students and their families. The Burrito Genius program was created to incentivize homework completion. It allows students to earn reward cards redeemable for free food. The program was launched at Treeview/Bidwell Elementary School in April 2012. More than 300 students received Burrito Genius rewards through the first month of the program. Treeview/Bidwell will re-launch the program at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. Tacos Uruapan is interested in expanding the program throughout the school district and invites interested parents and school officials to contact Tony Solorio at tacosuruapan@gmail.com for more information. Tacos Uruapan is located at 29950 Huntwood Avenue in Hayward, and can be found online at www.tacosuruapan.net.

US House candidate can say he was astronaut AP WIRE SERVICE SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), A congressional candidate in California's Central Valley can note on ballots that he used to be an astronaut. A Sacramento County judge
ruled Thursday that Democrat Jose Hernandez can use the ballot designation ``astronaut.'' Hernandez is challenging freshman Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican from Turlock, for California's 10th District seat.
BY RICHARD SANTOS
A
ccording to the Homeless Census and Survey conducted by Santa Clara County in 2007, there are more than 7000 homeless people living in the county and nearly half of them have nowhere to go when night falls. There are many reasons for the prevalence of homeless in our county, but the end result is that these individuals have to find some place to sleep. Many find refuge and set up camp in or near our creeks. In addition to posing a serious safety issue for both the homeless and other residents trying to enjoy the natural beauty of our creeks, this has presented a serious problem for the health of our watersheds. Illegal encampments result in damage to creek banks, deterioration of water quality and substantial increases in the volume of trash and debris that wind up in creeks and Bay. Often times, people turn to the Santa Clara Valley Water District with their concerns, but the reality is that the district only owns or has easement rights to 30 percent of the creeks in the county. Legally, we cannot spend taxpayers’ dollars on pri-
A Sacramento law firm had argued in a lawsuit that Hernandez's use of the moniker would violate state elections law because Hernandez has left NASA. Hernandez had flown aboard the shuttle Dis-
vately owned properties, whether they are alongside a creek or not. The district does, however, have an environmental and stream stewardship commitment and has in place a number of programs to address the issue of creek pollution and trash along our waterways. Through our Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Plan, we have a Good Neighbor Maintenance Program which performs hundreds of creek cleanups every year. Last year, our crews removed 983 cubic yards of trash from illegal encampments. But funding is scarce and recent court rulings regarding disposal of the homeless individuals’ property have presented challenges of their own. For the majority of our illegal encampment cleanups, we partner with local governments and public safety agencies to provide security and attempt to link the homeless population with appropriate health and human services. We are contributing to an EPA-funded project that is attempting to empower the homeless themselves to be a part of the solution to creek pollution. The reality is that this is a complex problem with no easy solution. This is
covery in 2009. The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/H3yHKG ) that Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly ruled that ballot designations apparently can reflect a profession or voca-
why on May 17, the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors held a special session on illegal encampments and invited a panel of experts from several other government agencies and community organizations. A number of impassioned local residents also expressed their views on this issue. Everything from fencing off creeks to finding long-term housing solutions was discussed. We all acknowledge that simply removing encampments is not a solution to the problem. After hearing public comments and statements by the panel of experts, the water district board unanimously passed a resolution to direct staff to develop a comprehensive plan to address these complex issues. The water district board recognizes that regardless of whose jurisdiction these encampments are established in, this is a community-wide problem with action and solutions required by multiple jurisdictions. We are committed to working collaboratively with other government agencies and non-governmental organizations to reduce homelessness and illegal encampments along local creeks. For more information this subject or our programs, or to watch the board
tion held during the previous calendar year. Hernandez spent two weeks at NASA in 2011 before leaving the agency. ––– Information from: The Sacramento Bee, http://www.sacbee.com

SUBMITTED BY GUY ASHLEY Alameda County won its long-fought court battle in Nordyke v. King, successfully defeating a gun show operator’s challenge to its ordinance regulating firearms possession on County-owned property. The ordinance was challenged in 1999 by the Nordykes, who claimed the ordinance infringed on their constitutional rights because of its impact on their gun shows at the County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. In the June 1, 2012 decision by an eleven-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Court found that “[n]o matter how broad the scope of the Second Amendment – an issue we leave to another day – it is clear that, as applied to Plaintiffs’ gun shows and as interpreted by the County, this regulation is permissible.” The Court acknowledged the exception in the ordinance that allows possession of unloaded firearms at events on the Fairgrounds provided the firearms are secured when not in the immediate possession of an authorized participant in an event. The Ninth Circuit found Alameda County’s approach to be reasonable and that the ordinance minimally regulates gun shows on the County’s own property. The Court concluded, “Plaintiffs cannot state a viable Second Amendment claim,” and affirmed the trial court’s decision dismissing all constitutional challenges to the Alameda County ordinance.

AIDS fight enters new phase with prevention pill BY LINDSEY TANNER AP MEDICAL WRITER CHICAGO (AP), Condoms and other safe-sex practices have accomplished only so much. Now the 30-year battle against AIDS is on the verge of a radical new phase, with the government expected to endorse a once-a-day pill to prevent infection with the virus. Some doctors are already giving patients the drug, Truvada, to ward off infection. But Food and Drug Administration approval would expand that practice and could make the highly expensive medicine more affordable. Truvada costs around $11,000 to $14,000 a year. Approval seems likely after an FDA advisory panel Thursday endorsed the use of Truvada for prevention. In the generation-long fight against AIDS, “it's the first time we have talked about a medication for prevention of HIV,” said Dr. Lisa Sterman of Francisco, who treats HIV-positive patients. “With this recommendation, we're nearing a watershed moment in our fight against HIV,” said James Loduca, a spokesman for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. “We know this isn't a magic bullet, and it's not going to be the continued on page 16

AIDS fight enters new phase with prevention pill right prevention strategy for everyone, but it could save thousands of lives in the United States and potentially millions around the world.” Truvada has been FDA-approved since 2004 for treating people infected with the AIDS
virus. Once a drug is on the market, doctors are free to prescribe it for off-label, or unapproved, uses, and that's what some have been doing in giving Truvada to patients who are healthy but in danger of getting the virus from their partners or through risky sex.
Official FDA backing of the practice would allow Truvada's maker, Gilead Sciences Inc. of Foster City, Calif., to market it for prevention. Approval would also probably lead many more insurance companies to pay for the drug. And by widening the market for Truvada, it could prompt Gilead to lower the price. An FDA decision is expected by June 15. The FDA is also considering approving the first overthe-counter HIV test for use at home. Experts said it could help slow the spread of HIV. An estimated 1.2 million Americans and millions more around the world have HIV. Unless the virus is treated with antiviral drugs, it can turn into full-blown AIDS. Antivirals have made the disease more manageable and allowed patients to live much longer than when the epidemic began in the early 1980s. Nevertheless, about 50,000 new infections are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, a number that has held steady for about 15 years. Truvada represents “a pretty radical step, but I think it's a necessary step,” said Sterman, who prescribes it to infected patients and those who are healthy but at risk. “We've come as far as we can with condom use and safe-sex strategies.” The drug would be recommended for people at high risk of getting the virus, such as gay men with multiple sex partners, prostitutes and people whose partners are infected. In one U.S. government study of more than 1,200 men and women in Botswana, Truvada lowered the HIV infec-
June 8, 2012
tion risk by about 78 percent. Another larger study in Africa found a slightly lower rate of effectiveness, but researchers say that if used as directed, the pill can be 90 percent effective or higher. It is available as an HIV treatment in Africa and other poor regions, but Gilead is seeking approval for prevention in the U.S. only, a company spokeswoman said. Some experts have expressed concern that the use of Truvada for prevention could cause shortages in poor countries that desperately need the drug to treat infected people. Not everyone in the HIV community is gung-ho about the drug. Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a Los Angelesbased group that calls itself the nation's largest provider of medical care for HIV, said his main concern is that patients won't take the drug as directed – once a day, while also using condoms. Misuse could create drug-resistant HIV strains and lead to more infections. The FDA panelists acknowledged that concern and said people should be tested to make sure they don't have HIV before starting Truvada. Patients who already have the virus could develop resistance to the drug. As for the drug's high cost, generic Truvada for HIV treatment is available in poor countries for as little as $9 per month, a Gilead spokeswoman said. But generic versions are not available in the United States and won't be until after Truvada's U.S. patent expires in 2021. Sterman said she hopes FDA approval leads Gilead to lower the price.
The lifetime cost of treating one person diagnosed with the AIDS virus has been estimated at more than $600,000. “It's much more cost-effective to prevent a new infection than it is to treat someone for their lifetime,” Loduca said. “Of course, the ultimate goal is a vaccine and a cure, but we're many years away from that.” Some of the more serious complications linked to Truvada include kidney and liver problems. But for some people, the risk of kidney problems ``10 years down the line may be less than the risk for acquiring HIV, which is significantly more problematic and can be fatal,'' said Jim Pickett, director of prevention advocacy at the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Nick Literski, a government employee in Seattle, has been taking Truvada for HIV prevention for more than a year because his partner is infected. He said the drug has helped prevent the breakup of relationships like his. “Many HIV-positive men end up ending their relationships with HIV-negative men out of fear of infecting their partner,” Literski said. ––– AP Health Writer Matthew Perrone contributed to this story from Washington. ––– Online: FDA: http://www.fda.gov AIDS: http://www.aids.gov

f all trees were blue, and every tree you had ever seen was blue, would you ask “Why are trees blue?” Maybe not. But if suddenly one day you saw a green tree, wouldn’t you ask “Why is this tree green, when all the others are blue?” That’s what happens when you discover new things. It makes you curious. It makes you want to know why one thing is this way, and another thing is that way. That’s what exploring the solar system has done for humans. Before NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft explored them in the 1970s and 80s, we didn’t know very much about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Voyagers revealed surprising differences among even Jupiter’s four largest moons. Io had active volcanoes. Europa was covered in ice with crazy, crisscrossing cracks. Saturn’s rings had “spokes,” and in Saturn’s atmosphere, the wind was blowing at over 1,000 miles per hour. Neptune’s moon Triton had ice volcanoes. What a bunch of weird places! Many other NASA spacecraft have orbited or flown past these and other planets, moons, comets, and asteroids in our solar system. All in all, we have learned that our solar system is
stranger and more diverse than anyone imagined. No two planets or moons look alike. Why not? Many appear to have formed in different ways. Why? And why do they orbit and rotate as they do—and where they do? Now our telescopes on Earth and in space are finding other planetary systems in our galaxy. But they have not yet found any similar to ours. Most of the gas giant planets in other solar systems orbit very close to their stars—even closer than Earth’s orbit of the Sun. Our own gas giants are way, way out there, far from our star. Why? NASA’s planetary science missions are all about figuring out our own solar system. How did it form? Why is it the way it is? Is it likely other solar systems are like ours? Just how lucky are we, anyway? Explore the solar system for yourself at The Space Place, http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/menu/solar-system. This article was written by Diane K. Fisher and provided through the courtesy of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Our solar system is made up of a huge diversity of planets, moons, and other bodies. How did they form, and why are they all so different?

SUBMITTED BY AILEEN CHANCO In partnership with Target through a $2,000 grant award, Music at the Mission Chamber Music Series was able to bring free live classical music performances to over 600 students in the Tri-City Area this year, through its Educational Outreach Performances Program. Horner Junior High School, St. Joseph’s School, and most recently John F. Kennedy High School, took advantage of Music at the Mission’s free Educational Outreach Performances Program for Tri-City schools and welcomed local as well as visiting artists in performances ranging from the songs of John Jacob Niles to Shostakovich’s String Quartet no. 8 and movie music from “Psycho” and “Battleship Potemkin.” “With arts education cuts in schools everywhere, Music at the Mission hopes to be able to help fill in the gaps by bringing artists and music to schools, especially in our local community. The arts ex-

perience is not merely a fascinating form of entertainment but an essential skill that can help us develop deeper connections and understanding of the world we live in,” says director, Aileen Chanco. This grant is part of ongoing efforts by Target to strengthen families and communities throughout the country. Since 1946, Target has given 5 percent of its income to communities. Today, that giving equals more than $3 million every week. “At Target, our local grants are making a difference in communities across the country,” said Laysha Ward, President of Community Relations. “We’re proud to partner with nonprofit organizations as part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen communities where our guests and team members live and work.” Additionally, Target also gives through signature programs that are designed to inspire learning in children and families. Programs include: • Take Charge of Education®, a school fundraising program; • Target School Library Makeovers,
a program that provides year-round volunteer opportunities for Target team members to get involved with their local school; • Target Field TripSM Grants, a program that helps educators bring learning to life outside the classroom through the distribution of grants; • Target House®, serves as a home away from home for families of children receiving lifesaving treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in Memphis. The St. Jude School Program presented by Target, is staffed with accredited teachers and helps patients stay on track academically while undergoing treatments that can last months; • Target Volunteers, a nationwide network of Target team members, retirees, families and friends who volunteer millions of hours to community projects. During the early 19th century, Mission San Jose in Fremont was considered a major center of music. Music at the Mission grew out of the desire of local community members to help develop the "old Mission" as a cultural center. Founding Director and pianist Aileen Chanco tested audience demand by presenting a concert of both classical chamber
Page 19 music and solo works in February 2005. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response and success of that first concert, she went on to present chamber music concerts performed by local as well as visiting artists. Her artistic vision was to present "a new type of chamber music series for the new century" in order to stimulate greater interest in classical music among the next generation. With the aim of encouraging audience participation and closer interaction with the artists, Aileen brought in Bill
Everett to give educational preconcert talks, began outreach performances to schools and senior citizen facilities and included "Meet and Greet the Artist Receptions" after each performance in order to enhance the concert going experience.

Proposed county budget presented to board increasing County revenues, thereby reducing deficits and program cuts. Still, the County’s finances remain constrained by housing prices that are far lower than their 2007 levels, resulting in lower property tax revenues that are the main source of the County’s discretionary funds. Though the County assessment roll grew in FY 2011-12, it was only by an anemic 0.37%. The unemployment rate in Alameda County also has dropped far below the 11.7% recorded in August 2010, but the 8.9% recorded in April remains stubbornly high. “Until we return to normal employment levels, the County will be challenged by the double-edged sword of higher demand for services and lower revenues to pay for those services,’’ said Supervisor Keith Carson, who chairs Alameda County’s Budget Workgroup. “And even if the local economy improves significantly, the poor fiscal health of the State and federal governments means funding of County services
will likely be in jeopardy for years to come.’’ With the release of the State Budget’s May Revision, the Governor has acknowledged a funding deficit of $15.7 billion, or $6.5 billion higher than the $9.2 billion gap estimated in January. Most of the increase can be attributed to dramatically lower revenue estimates. Half of the Governor’s proposals to close the State’s funding gap involve spending cuts, including dramatic reductions to health and human services programs administered by local government and the use of assets from now-defunct local redevelopment agencies. Concerns persist that the cuts coming from Sacramento won’t end there. The Governor also assumes $5.6 billion in new revenue from a package of tax hikes that will go to voters in November. His plan includes severe “trigger” cuts to K-12, higher education and the courts if voters reject the measure. While most of these “trigger” cuts
would not directly affect County services, it is possible that the Legislature would not have the inclination to cut education so severely and would instead reduce other programs and funding for County services. With regards to “realignment,’’ the State’s transfer of responsibility for many public safety and health and human services programs to counties, much uncertainty remains, including whether the County will receive adequate funding to pay for realigned services.. The Board of Supervisors and County staff continue to advocate for a more just and equitable funding formula. While these shifting responsibilities mostly involve public safety programs, Governor Brown has been clear that local government will likely be asked to assume control of yet more programs in the coming years. The Proposed Budget includes funding to provide mandated and essential services, meet debt service obligations, maintain a
minimum level of infrastructure and capital funding, and adhere to the Board’s Financial Management policies. The Proposed Budget supports a workforce of 9,060 full-time positions. The $88.1 million funding gap was determined by identifying the difference between the cost of maintaining existing programs and available financing. The Proposed Budget calls for using a combination of permanent ongoing program reductions, revenue increases, and one-time strategies to close the funding gap. Through ongoing costsaving and revenue generation efforts, County agencies/departments have offered to contribute $48.4 million in prior-year “Fiscal Management Reward” savings to help balance the FY 2012-13 Budget. Alameda County’s Fiscal Management Reward Program allows departments to carry over net savings each fiscal year to be used in subsequent years for budget balancing and to help preserve vital services.

BARBARA ORTUTAY AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER NEW YORK (AP), – Though Facebook bans children under 13, millions of them have profiles on the site by lying about their age. The company is now testing ways to allow those kids to participate without needing to lie. This would likely be under parental supervision, such as by connecting children's accounts to their parents' accounts. Like many other online services, Facebook prohibits kids under 13 because federal law requires companies to obtain parental consent if they want to collect information about those children. Such information collection is central to Facebook. Every photo or status update a kid posts on Facebook could count as infor-
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
mation collection. Many companies consider the parental-consent requirement too burdensome, so they simply ban all children under 13 instead. But that ban is difficult to enforce. In many cases, parents themselves help children skirt it by setting up profiles for them and lying about their ages. There are an estimated 7.5 million kids under 13 on Facebook, out of more than 900 million users worldwide. In a statement, Facebook noted that many recent reports have highlighted “just how difficult it is to enforce age restrictions on the Internet, especially when parents want their children to access online content and services.” “We are in continuous dialogue with stakeholders, regulators and other policymakers about how best to help parents
keep their kids safe in an evolving online environment,” the company said. Few details are available on the nature of Facebook's tests, which The Wall Street Journal reported on in Monday's editions. Relaxing the ban on younger children could be a long way off, or never get implemented, as happens with many features that Facebook tests. The report comes just two weeks after Facebook began trading stock as a public company. Its stock price has fallen in part because of concerns about its ability to keep increasing revenue and make money from its growing mobile audience. To James Steyer, the CEO of the nonprofit Common Sense Media, Facebook's discussions on permitting young kids to join is about expanding its audience – and profits.
June 8, 2012
“With the growing concerns and pressure around Facebook's business model, the company appears to be doing whatever it takes to identify new revenue streams and short-term corporate profits to impress spooked shareholders,” Steyer said in a statement. But Stephen Balkan, the CEO of another kids-and-technology nonprofit, the Family Online Safety Institute, disagrees. Balkan, who sits on Facebook's Safety Advisory Board in an unpaid position, said the company has been discussing the issue for more than a year. That's months before Facebook made regulatory filings in February for its initial public offering of stock, which took place in mid-May. “It has nothing to do with the IPO,” he said. Balkan offered some ideas
about what Facebook could look like for kids. For one, the default setting to their account could be set to “friends only” so that strangers can't see their posts. Teenagers who are 13 to 17 currently have their accounts set to “friends of friends” by default, so the under-13 restriction would be a step beyond that. In addition, parents could have final say on whom their kids become friends with on Facebook. And Facebook could even keep advertising off kids' accounts, he added. “I wouldn't be surprised if we see some movement from Facebook this before the end of the year,'' Balkan said. ``By the way I think it would be a good thing if they do it right, rather than this untenable situation of just kicking off under-13s when they discover them.”

AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), J.C. Penney Co.'s new CEO Ron Johnson told analysts Tuesday the department store chain is resurrecting the word “sale'” in promoting its monthlong events, the latest change it's making to reverse a sharp drop in customer counts and sales. Investors were spooked even more, driving shares down 4 percent Tuesday. That extended a decline seen since early February when analysts starting becoming bearish about the new pricing plan that went into effect at the start of that month. Penney has been getting rid of hundreds of sales events from last year in favor of a three-tier pricing plan that offers everyday prices, which are 40 percent lower than a year ago; monthlong discounts on select items; and Best Fridays, which are clearance events. But Penney, which is trying to wean shoppers off discounts and focus on merchandise, had been avoiding the use of the word “sale” to describe the monthlong events and instead had called them ``monthlong values'' in its marketing campaigns. That ended up confusing shoppers.
“Everything we've done hasn't been perfect ... We haven't communicated our pricing change in a way that customers understand yet,” Johnson said in an address to investors at the Piper Jaffray Consumer Conference, which was webcast. “It's just been kind of confusing.” He added, “So we're moving away from the word ‘monthlong value’ because no one really understood ... what we intend to do. It's a sale.” The move marks the latest changes Penney is making to bring shoppers back after an abysmal quarter. The department store chain, based in Plano, Texas, is adding five “Best Price Friday” sales throughout the year, which would be in addition to the sales it has on the first and third Friday of every month, according to Charles Grom, a Deutsche Bank analyst in an analyst note published last week. The first took place this past Memorial Day weekend and another is planned for Black Friday in November, Grom said. Daphne Avila, a Penney spokeswoman, declined to give details on the additional events or when they would be held for competitive reasons. The company is tweaking its advertising to better educate shoppers on the three-tier pricing plan. Penney reported last month a bigger-than-expected loss for the first quarter. Revenue also dropped 20 percent for the quarter as customer traffic slipped 10 percent. Meanwhile, revenue at stores open at least a year – a comparison used to measure a retailer's health – fell 18.9 percent. That's much steeper than the 11.4 percent drop Wall Street was expecting. Shares fell $1.00 to close at $24.27 on Tuesday. After Johnson laid out his vision for the new pricing strategy to analysts at the end of January, shares soared, peaking at $43.13 on Feb. 9. But they have since lost more than 40 percent of their value.
Assembly passes municipal bankruptcy bill SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski’s (D-Fremont) bill to improve the neutral evaluation process public entities in dire fiscal straits can use to negotiate with creditors passed the state Assembly on May 31, 2012 with a 42-24 vote. The bill, AB 1692, will now go to the state Senate. “I am proud that my colleagues stood up despite immense pressure to continue this effort to modify the neutral evaluation process,” Wieckowski said. “This bill simply makes sure the neutral evaluator can lead this process with all the relevant financial informa-
tion that is necessary. This will help the parties work to avoid bankruptcy and save the taxpayers money in the long run.” In 2011, the Legislature passed Wieckowski’s AB 506, establishing the neutral evaluation process for distressed public entities. An independent neutral evaluator, mutually-selected from a list created by the public agency, leads the process. If after 60 days, a majority of the parties believe it is worthwhile to continue, negotiations are extended for 30 days. Both Stockton and Mammoth Lakes have opted to participate in the neutral evaluation process to try to re-
duce their debt and avoid bankruptcy. “I look forward to continuing this discussion and incorporating lessons learned from Stockton and Mammoth Lakes’ experiences,” Wieckowski said. “I think we may be able to include those before the legislative session ends.” AB 1692 allows the neutral evaluator to “stop the clock” if key financial information is not forthcoming. The evaluator could also seek an independent audit to secure the information. A city could stop the process by a majority vote of its council, declare a fiscal emergency and pursue bankruptcy at any time.

Promotoras lend a helping hand
Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center promotoras conducted a neighborhood clean-up and planted trees in Decoto, Union City, in late April 2012.
SUBMITTED BY NELSON KIRK On Saturday, April 28, 2012, Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center promotoras proudly took to the streets of the Decoto neighborhood of Union City to remove
debris, pick up litter and plant trees. This project was sponsored by Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center, Kaiser Permanente Community Health Education Dept. and the City of Union City Public Works.
“Promotoras” are community members who receive specialized training to provide basic health education in the community. While most of their work entails educating target audiences about health
issues affecting their community, they also provide guidance in accessing community resources associated with health care. Promotoras are usually residents and leaders in their community, working for community-based health promotion projects or as part of a research group. Thus, they serve as liaisons between their community, health professionals and human and social service organizations. Customarily, they play the roles of advocate, educator, mentor, outreach worker, role model and translator. Claudia Del Rio and Lupe Nunez were contacts for the Promotoras. All the volunteers were helpful and cheerful and did a great job in the Decoto District. Alex Quintero and Frank Morales from Union City Public Works assisted the Promotoras The trees were planted around “Our Lady of the Rosary” to mark Arborday in Union City. Trees provide many benefits to the City of Union City: Tree foliage filters dust and can help remove toxic pollu-
tants from the atmosphere. The foliage captures and removes a wide range of smogproducing compounds such as ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, airborne ammonia and some sulphur dioxide; Mature trees improve the aesthetic environment, absorb noise, are traffic-calming, reduce stress and crime and create a peaceful place to relax or socialize; Trees provide positive mental benefits and healing qualities; Mature trees provide a sense of "home" to a neighborhood; Almost every city in our country has recorded a drop in the number of trees along its streets due to development, pollution, disease and neglect; Trees intercept rainwater, aiding soil absorption for gradual release into streams, preventing flooding, filtering toxins and impurities and extending water availability into dry months when it is most needed; and Trees cleanse ground water as it filters through their root systems.

Ms. Sainten, an outstanding teacher of the highest caliber, proves to be an asset to Milpitas Unified School District (MUSD) each and every day. She is a role model for students, teachers, and
parents alike, inspiring everyone she touches to strive for their personal best. A true life-long learner, Sainten continues to take trainings and classes to enhance her teaching skills. She recently obtained her masters degree as a Reading/Language Arts Specialist, received ROLA (Reading and Oral Language Assessment) training and has spent this year developing curriculum and extending Steps to Success to the next level.
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Ms. Sainten willingly shares her resources and expertise. Since graduating from Santa Clara University (SCU), she has been invited back each year to share her insights and valuable experience with teachers in the Teacher Credential Program. She went above and beyond the call of duty as a master teacher for one of SCU’s student teachers, meeting regularly at the crack of dawn. She exudes passion for teaching and learning as someone who deeply cares about each individual student and finds innovative ways to make connections with them. Former students regularly come back seeking assistance with middle school problems - both academic and personal. She is accessible and friendly, but firm, always holding each student to high standards - an excellent role model, especially for at-risk and minority students. There isn’t any activity that Ms. Sainten isn’t involved in at Pomeroy. In her first year of teaching, she was responsible for organizing afterschool GATE Enrichment (Gifted and Talented Education) activities. Since then Parent Education Nights, Leadership Team, The Talent Show, and Student Council have all benefited from her leadership. She is our representative for the 21st Century Teaching and Learning Committee and has organized the 6th grade picnic, 6th grade promotion, and science camp. Seeing a need for students to connect more deeply with school, Ms. Sainten created “Club 6,” a service organization in which students identify a need within the community and design projects to help fill those needs. Club 6 students have created innovative ways to encourage participation in food, clothing, toy, and book drives. Through their hard work, close to $5,000 in cash donations has been donated to Second Harvest Food Bank, local homeless shelters, Sacred Heart, Milpitas Food Bank, Glide, and the Humane Society. Deanna Sainten sets an exemplary example of a dedicated, caring, compassionate teacher. She represents the best of the Milpitas Unified School District.

atalytic Converters, along with copper and other metals, have become a hot commodity for thieves. Catalytic Converter theft has become popular because of their value, relative ease to steal (unbolt or cut out), and their lack of identifying markings. A Catalytic Converter is a part of the vehicles exhaust system. It helps reduce vehicle pollution. Catalytic Converters are located under a vehicle on the exhaust pipe before the muffler(s). Thieves take the stolen Catalytic Converters to metal recyclers. The recyclers pay an average of $50 per converter for the precious metals inside them. But for certain converters, they will pay up to $250. Victims pay an average of $1000 (or an average $250/$500 insurance deductible) to get the converter(s) replaced; it can cost as much as $4000. What Vehicles are targeted by Catalytic Converter Thieves? Any vehicle manufactured after 1974 can be a target. However, Trucks and SUV s (Sports Utility Vehicles) are the vehicles they target the most. They prefer
Trucks and SUV’s, because they are higher off the ground and easier to crawl under. Toyota Trucks and SUV’ in the 90’s to the late 2000’s are especially vulnerable because the Catalytic Converters are more exposed than the average converter. The thieves can quickly unbolt/cut out the converter in minutes. Some of the larger Toyota Trucks and SUV’s have two Catalytic Converters. If your Catalytic Converter has been replaced with an aftermarket Catalytic Converter within the past few years, there is a good chance it won’t be stolen. The new aftermarket Catalytic Converters don’t have as much precious metals, so thieves typically don’t take them. Where are the common places where Catalytic Converter theft occur?
Your Home Driveway or Street • Most of the Catalytic Converter thefts occur while your car is parked in your driveway or on the street in front of your house. Parking Lots • Vehicles parked in large open parking lots are targeted. A look-out will often continued on page 29
June 1 A robbery occurred at Parkwood Apartments at approximately 1:15 p.m. yesterday. The suspect pushed the victim to the ground and ripped a gold/diamond chain from the victim's neck.

Commercial Burglary: Officers were dispatched to Meyer Park because the Reporting Party said his friend cut his arm. Two juveniles concocted a story regarding the injury to cover a commercial burglary into a doctor's office on Glenmoor Drive; one seriously injured his arm in the process. Both were arrested by Officer Piol and FTO Foster. At 4:10 a.m., a newer white Ford full-size pickup truck backed up to the QuikStop at Washington Boulevard & Luzon. One suspect hooked the truck to the ATM machine while the other used the truck to rip the ATM machine out. The alarm company did not notify PD until 4:29
a.m. Officer Wilson investigated. June 2 Officers were detailed to Tri City Church, 40155 Blacow Road on a monitored burglar alarm where alarm company heard movement inside.

watch out as a thief takes the Catalytic Converter. Auto Dealer Lots • Brand new vehicles on a Dealer Lot are targeted. The thieves have all night to steal popular Catalytic Converters while the new vehicles sit in their parking lot. Semi-Truck Auto Transport Trailer • Vehicles are targeted while they are on a Semi-Truck Auto Transport Trailer. Thieves can easily get underneath the vehicles to remove the Catalytic Converters. Preventive tips on how to help prevent your Catalytic Converter from getting stolen: The #1 way to protect your ve-
hicles Catalytic Converter is to park your vehicle(s) inside a garage or in a secure side yard. If you must park your vehicle in the driveway, motion detector lights or continuous lights illuminating your driveway may be a deterrent. Also, getting a vehicle motion detector alarm might help. Educate your friends and neighbors about Catalytic Converter theft so they can be a look-out too. Have extra metal welded to your exhaust system. Muffler shops are offering creative ways to protect your Catalytic Converter. They weld on metal to make it difficult for the Catalytic Converter to be removed. The cost is often less than your insurance deductible and defi-
nitely less than the full replacement cost (if you don’t have comprehensive insurance). Install a Catalytic Converter Protection Device. There are devices on the market that will clamp/go around your Catalytic Converter. Devices are often more expensive than welding extra metal, but for some this is the option they prefer. What if your Catalytic Converter is stolen? If your Catalytic Converter is stolen, you will know right away when you start your vehicle. It will sound like you don't have a muffler at all (like loud motorcycle mufflers). It is ok to drive your vehicle directly to a muffler/dealer shop to get the Catalytic Converter replaced. You do not need your vehicle towed to the shop.
Newark Police Log SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD Your garbage can tell a lot about you, such as what you eat, your recycling habits, what brands of detergent you prefer, your favorite dog food and unfortunately your most personal information. The garbage and recycling containers aren't the place for your old intact documents, statements, tax forms and anything else that has your personal information. The reason is simple; there are thieves who look through garbage and recycling bins to find just that type of information. They use this information to, in essence; become you by accessing and acquiring credit in your name. How do we stop them? Shredding It!! No documents, envelopes, forms, receipts, statements or other items containing your personal information should find their way into your garbage can until they are in a condition that they can't be read or taped back together. Shred it all! A cross-cut security shredder is your best bet as it does more than just cut long strips that can possibly be taped together. Rather, it makes cuts in at least two different directions making it nearly impossible to "recreate" the documents. Turn on those shredders and get rid of those old files the safe way!

He was found in possession of small quantity of marijuana and issued a citation. Officer Mlyniec investigated a forgery at 5810 Newpark Mall Road (Men’s Wearhouse) at 10:42 a.m. Three traveler’s checks were passed at the business yesterday.

Jenny and Jeremy Inman discuss the assigned tasks.
know that these are people’s jobs and demonstrates ownership – a profession; it’s not just a game.” A graduate of San Jose State University’s Film Department, Jeremy had directed a kidfriendly movie, “Super Hero Party Clown,” and recently, an award-winning commercial for San Jose State that aired on ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network). After viewing the television ad, the students were asked, “If you made a commercial for Oliveira, what would you put in it?” The students pondered the question, brainstormed and then came up with a plethora of incredible ideas. “My brother and I were so impressed that we knew we had to actually make this project happen,” said teacher Inman. “Over the next few months, the kids clarified their ideas and made storyboards (illustrations) for the shots they wanted to include in the commercial,” she explained. To assist with this production, Jeremy Inman gathered a crew of several SJSU film department
students who gladly donated their time: Myles Gilbert, Ian Irwin, and Paul Early, all graduating this month. Additionally, equipment valued at over $30,000 was borrowed from the Spartan Film Studios, the non-profit film program at SJSU, tied into the Film Department. Nick Martinez, Coordinator of Film Broadcast Studio Operations, was instrumental in helping to expedite the process for the team and took part as well. Another former SJSU graduate, now a professional storyboarder, turned the students’ art renderings of their original ideas, into professional quality work. The commercial created was based on the students’ ideas. “We are hoping to give the students a hands-on, active experience and a chance to see their ideas come to life,” explained Ms. Inman. Over two days earmarked for the shoot, each student in the class - “Junior Crew” worked with the SJSU group “Senior Crew” - to learn about the four different components
necessary to create a commercial - Production, Camera, Lights, and Sound. “They’ve learned the importance of teamwork, long term planning, and how to be responsible for a particular job,” said Ms. Inman. Among the 14 vignettes filmed were: the Oliveira eagle mascot, the glee club, basketball, the school garden area and the classroom setting. For one of the scenes, shot outside, students worked with the SJSU crew to help assemble the props and background needed for the “green screen,” to create a visual effect - that of the eagle in flight. Throughout the two-day shoot, each student was able to direct his/her own storyboard idea; they took turns acting out parts, worked behind the camera, set up shots, handled the clapboard and shouted “action” or “cut.” Overall, students had a chance to see what they were good at or enjoyed the most.
“Action on the set!”
“We’re here to facilitate and keep them thinking about what they could do in life as a possible career choice,” said Jeremy. “I’ve personally gotten a lot of out it. It’s making an impact on the students.” Oliveira Principal Linda Anderson was extremely supportive of the project and student efforts. “What I love about this

opportunity is the ability to put “education standards” into action and show “relevance” to learning, which is why we have kids go to school. The filmmakers are releasing control to the kids [for this project],” stated Anderson. Upon its completion, each student will receive a copy of the commercial. Jeremy indicated that he will possibly use some of the behind-the-scenes footage for a documentary about the process. Ms. Inman is delighted for her students. “They’re so excited. It’s great to see them actively involved and being hands-on in their learning. This is a unique opportunity; it assists with their comprehension skills and brings imagination to real life. It’s exciting for me to see them excel in something so applicable to everyday and see this interaction with the SJSU students, to put their creative side to use.” And, she adds, “This wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support of my mom and brother, the volunteers, students, staff and principal.”

abitat for Humanity East Bay (HEB) and the City of Hayward celebrated as a new Habitat family received the keys to their home on Thursday, May 31 at 27848 Havana Avenue, Hayward. The event marks the completion of the ninth property rehabilitated by Habitat for Humanity East Bay’s community volunteers along with the assistance from local business, contractors and corporations with funding from the federal government’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). To strengthen neighborhoods severely affected by the sub-prime mortgage crisis, these joint efforts have helped to renovate nine abandoned and foreclosed homes in need of repair within Hayward’s Palma Ceia neighborhood. The City of Hayward and HEB received funding from California’s Department of Housing and Community Development under the first phase of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Following the dedication and completion of this phase of the NSP funding, a second phase for the renovation of 11 additional
homes in Hayward is underway using NSP II funding through Alameda County. Hayward City Councilmember and Mayor Pro Tempore Barbara Halliday and staff from Hayward’s Department of Housing, who have been administering the program, including Assistant City Manager Kelly Moraiu and HEB President and CEO Janice Jensen attended the ceremony at which the Tirfe/Meharena family and their three children accepted the keys to their new home. These new home owners have completed their 250-hour sweat equity-down payment for the property. Work on the home has included the demolition of three illegal and lowquality additions created at the rear of the property by previous occupants. The property’s garage had also been illegally converted and has now been renovated and restored to its intended purpose. Due to deferred maintenance, many repairs were needed on the home. The house now has a new roof; new plumbing and sewer line to the street; new fencing and landscaping; new kitchen counters, cabinets and flooring; energy efficient appliances, new water heater, new furnace and ducting; and new windows. The government and non-profit partners have chosen to work in the Palma Ceia neighborhood to make an impact in an area that has
been affected by the foreclosure crisis. HEB’s efforts to purchase vacant and bank-owned homes, and subsequent rehabilitation, aims to help to stabilize this neighborhood. Most of the nine homes have been In the Palma Ceia neighborhood within a two-block radius from the Havana Avenue property. Habitat will start work on another property in this neighborhood in June 2012 and anticipates purchasing yet another by the end of summer. Habitat East Bay is one of the Bay Area’s leading green affordable home builders. In addition to its work in Hayward, it is currently working on homes in Antioch, Bay Point and Oakland. HEB is active in other locations throughout the East Bay with more than 55 homes slated for construction or renovation. Praised for its success in creating home ownership opportunities for families with limited incomes, HEB is the largest Habitat affiliate in Northern California. It has been creating sustainable housing and revitalizing neighborhoods for over 24 years, serving more than 350 families throughout Alameda and Contra Costa County. Volunteers and homeowner applicants are needed. To learn more about Habitat East Bay or donate to the home building efforts, visit www.HabitatEB.org or call (510) 251-6304.
