BY ISABELLA OHLMEYER PHOTOS BY JULIE GRABOWSKI Art can elicit and inspire a wide variety of human emotions including passion, joy and love. The Fremont Chamber of Commerce recognizes and honors the significance of art each year by hosting the annual Fremont Festival of the Arts. This year, the festival will be held August 4-5, marking its 29th appearance. The festival began in 1983 as a small art show at the Fremont Hub shopping center. Over the years, it has migrated to its present location spanning a significant portion of Central Fremont stretching along Paseo Padre Parkway, Capitol Avenue and State Street, becoming the largest free street festival on the continued on page 4
SUBMITTED BY DIANE LEYS Olive Hyde Art Gallery Curator Sandra Hemsworth has brought together eight contemporary California artists with widely different approaches in painting for the upcoming exhibit “In Full View.” Opening with a reception Friday, August 3 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., the show features paintings in a variety of media, styles, subjects, and narratives. This collection of work will be on exhibit through September 1 at Fremont’s popular Olive Hyde Art Gallery. “In Full View” offers the viewer a selection of paintings, some of which offer a narrative story, have the suggestion of motion and flight, use geometric forms to create patterns, or are an emotional response to imaginary cellular landscapes. A wide range of painting styles is presented, including minimalism, abstract, expressionism, and futuristic. Subject matter is varied and ranges from landscapes and figures to cellular geography and moths and flowers. Michele Castagnetti, Anne Hunt, Jennifer Idleman, Nicole Lampl, Ellen Little, Shirley Manfredi, Susan Parker, and June Yokell each apply pigment to a twodimensional surface creating unique works of art. Olive Hyde Art Gallery brings these works together to provide the viewer with a remarkable experience.

hen the word “party” is spoken, thoughts turn to fun times, good people and memories to be made. What could be better than a summer block party when the weather is ideal for neighbors, friends, and family to come together with music, food, and other party fun? Tuesday, August 7, National Night Out, is a time for people to party with a purpose. The annual crime/drug awareness and prevention event encourages neighborhood spirit and partnerships between communities and police to provide safer cities. This celebration is held not only in the U.S. but also in neighboring Canada and
military bases worldwide; over 37 million people expected to take part. Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch partnering with the Target Corporation and local law enforcement agencies, the event is now in its 29th year and has strong representation in the local cities. Neighborhoods in each city can expect to be visited by both sworn and un-sworn Police Department staff, firefighters, and members of commissions and boards. Although attendance at every National Night Out party may not be possible, city officials are determined to visit as many as they can. Each visiting team will offer help and support, perhaps a few prizes and gifts, and maybe even a few of their own dance moves. Registered party organizers will recontinued on page 20

O
n Monday, June 25, Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation held its 27th Annual Golf Tournament at Blackhawk Country Club in Danville. The Foundation’s tournament brings together friends of Washington Hospital to raise money for hospice care and cancer services at Washington Hospital. The fundraising event featured a putting contest, 18-hole golf tournament, buffet dinner, raffle, silent auction, live
The Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation Golf Tournament is held in memory of longtime Fremont businessman, Gene Angelo Pessagno, a founding member of the Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation. Laura Pessagno and her family continue to be strong supporters of the tournament, after all these years. This year’s tournament was organized by Chairman Lamar Hinton who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the event.

auction and awards ceremony. This year, almost 240 golfers enjoyed a great day out on the course, and over 320 guests attended the banquet at the country club. It was another successful year, with proceeds totaling over $95,000. “This was our first time hosting the tournament at Blackhawk, and the golfers were very excited about playing a new course,” said Demetrious Shaffer, President of the Foundation. “The turn out was tremendous, and we raised more than we thought we could. Thanks are due to our sponsors and golfers, whose support generated this healthy charitable contribution. I’d also like to thank our volunteers who, year after year, help organize the day on the course and at the banquet. I am deeply grateful to golfers, sponsors, and volunteers alike.”

Making Sure You Have the Right Insurance Coverage Even though the U.S. Supreme Court has judged most portions of the Affordable Care Act constitutional, many provisions of the act will not go into effect until 2014 – including the provisions that ban discrimination based on “pre-existing conditions.” In the meantime, people with diabetes and other pre-existing conditions still

Are diabetes medications, including insulin, covered? How many diabetes screenings for fasting blood glucose and A1C levels are allowed each year? What co-payments and deductibles are required? Health insurance providers all offer a variety of different plans, and you have to know what coverage you need.” Caracappa will be presenting a free Diabetes Matters seminar, “Getting the Most Out of Your Insurance When You Have Diabetes,” on Thursday, August 2 from 7 to 8 p.m. The seminar will be held in the Conrad E.

Free Seminar Focuses on Acute Care and Rehabilitation Following Stroke When someone has a stroke, it’s usually unexpected. And many times people don’t know the signs and symptoms of stroke, which can delay seeking treatment. This is unfortunate, because effective management of stroke requires fast action. Cardiologist Dr. Ash Jain, Medical Director of the Stroke Program at Washington Hospital, wants community members to understand how to recognize symptoms of stroke, so that they can take immediate action by calling 9-1-1, which triggers the Stroke Program’s rapid response. “Our program is a certified Primary Stroke Center, which means that stroke intervention begins the moment a patient or family member calls 9-1-1,” Dr. Jain says. “The program has been designed to expedite treatment at every stage, from the first responders who identify stroke to our on-call neurologists who determine whether a patient is a good candidate for tPA (tissue plasminogen activator).” Effective treatment of stroke is all about timing, and it’s vitally important to take stroke seriously—because even small delays can have heavy costs, according to Dr. Jain. In the same way, the faster a person reaches the ER for treatment, the better the outcome will be in most cases. “Let’s say the patient comes in within four hours of suffering a stroke. At this point, we can get good results with administering tPA intravenously,” he explains. “Then, if the patient comes in between four and six hours after the stroke, we would inject the drug directly into the brain and still get fairly good results.” After six hours, patients are no longer good candidates for clot-dissolving medications, Dr. Jain says. However, the Stroke Team at Washington Hospital can still treat strokes for up to eight hours by inserting a catheter through the groin into the brain to remove the clot. continued on page 5

it is a great way to tell others what our business has to offer.” And what is a festival without food? The annual event will host a Gourmet Marketplace, filled with specialty foods from a wide range West Coast. Approximately 385,000 attendees turn out each year to enjoy the ambiance and browse through the offerings of around 650 artisans. “The shopping at the festival is great. It is a good opportunity to pick up unusual pieces of art, run into friends, and support local non-profit organizations,” said Fremont Chamber of Commerce CEO and Festival Director Cindy Bonior. Nancy Graeber, owner of Graeber Creations, is one of the newer artisans participating in the festival, her first experience being last year. “We are hoping for returning customers from last year’s festival as well as fresh new faces,” said Graeber who, along with fellow artisans, take a tremendous pride in participation in this unique event. In keeping with the spirit of the Fes-
tival of the Arts, Graeber Creations jewelry is handmade and “each piece is unique and inspired by nature.” The festival also showcases local businesses at Business Alley on State Street. Jones Family Chiropractic & Wellness Center is a local business that has been involved with the festival for five years.

A sampling of the mouthwatering delicacies waiting for hungry and discriminating foodies include Cajun barbeque from Crazy Charley, balsamic vinegars at the Tres Classique and sauces from Promo’s Gourmet Food Company. A classic and relaxing part of the festival is the popular Wine Garden. Admission to the festival is free, but there is a cost for admission into the Wine Garden. “We encourage guests to attend the Wine Garden because it enhances their experience overall at the event,” Bonior said. The cost is $50 per day, which includes premium wines, a lunch buffet, VIP parking, and complimentary mojito and red sangrias. “While the festival has many of the same aspects annually, we try to incorporate new ideas every year,” Bonior said.

Dr. Jain calls this procedure “riskier” and says the results are not as good, but his team can still in most cases preserve a fair amount of brain function. After eight hours, most of the damage to the brain has been done, and the window for acute treatment has usually closed. “When it comes to stroke, prevention is ideal, and you can help prevent stroke by identifying your risk factors—like high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation—and seeing the doctor about how to treat or manage them effectively. The next best thing is to know the signs and symptoms and make sure to get to the hospital right away so we can treat the stroke with all the tools at our disposal.” “If people arrive in the ER soon enough, acute management of stroke can help save lives and mitigate long-term disability, but patients and family members first need to recognize the signs and symptoms and call 9-1-1 immediately,” he says. What happens now? After acute management of stroke inside the hospital comes a very important phase, according to Doug Van Houten, R.N., clinical coordinator of Washington’s Stroke Program. However, before anything else, Van Houten and members of the stroke team make sure that patients’ risk factors have been identified and are being properly managed.
“Risk of future strokes is one of the strongest reasons for being admitted following stroke, so we always check the carotid artery for blockages, identify diabetes, and measure cholesterol and blood pressure to make sure those things are under control.” Once the team has identified problem areas that need to be addressed in order to reduce the risk of another stroke, the rehabilitation professionals start their work. Strokes, and the impairment they can cause, vary widely from person to person. In very mild cases, people may recover with very little deficit at all. Stroke, though, remains the No. 1 cause of long-term disability, which means that most people will benefit from acute rehabilitation, which helps them regain lost function, including mobility, speech, and activities of daily living. “This whole talk is about disability, first how to minimize the disability through acute rehab, and then how you can cope and find satisfaction in life following stroke,” according to Van Houten. One of the most important steps stroke survivors need to take is reorienting themselves to what he calls their “new normal.” He says often people have made long-range plans—maybe golfing during retirement or working another 10 years—when stroke gets in the way. “At this point, you have to find a way to move forward and
say, ‘Yeah, I sort of planned to have everything one way, and now things are going to be different.’ You wouldn’t have chosen to have a stroke, but there’s no turning back. Now you’ve got to find a way to live with this.” The stroke survivor is not the only one impacted by stroke, Van Houten adds. The caregiver’s role is critical, and is a task that usually falls to the stroke survivor’s spouse. This, he says, is a unique challenge, because most spouses are in their sixth, seventh, or eighth decade of life and are not usually health care professionals. These caregivers often ‘learn on the job,’ and may be completely new to helping someone walk or brush his or her teeth. Van Houten says recovery from stroke means people have to be open-minded and clever and to take opportunities and be creative in finding ways to get around the disability. “You treat stroke-related disabilities with rehab, and you get around them with perseverance,” he says. To learn more about acute management of stroke, as well as rehabilitation and chronic care following stroke, make sure to attend the upcoming free Stroke Education Series seminar next Tuesday, August 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium, Rooms A and B, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.

League announces Voter Information Book 2012 SUBMITTED BY ISABELLE MCANDREWS, LWVFNUC The League of Women Voters of Fremont, Newark and Union City, a non-partisan civic organization, has announced it is planning a "Voter Information Book" for the upcoming November 6, 2012 election. The League is extending an invitation to all candidates running for office in the Tri-City area to participate. This will be the fifth edition of what has been a highly successful program from previous elections where candidates have leveraged a cost-effective method for getting their message out to Tri-City area voters. Many candidates cannot afford the thousands of dollars required for direct mailers to disseminate their message. The League's non-partisan, cooperative campaign effort is a powerful medium for each candidate to get their message across to likely voters. "It is expensive to run a campaign. Running for Fremont City Council could end up costing a candidate as much as $100,000. We are attempting to level the playing field so that qualified candidates who are considering running for office will have a more affordable means of getting their message across to the public," said Marilyn Singer, the Project Chair. Each candidate may submit two pages of information about their campaign. All participating candidates share the cost of the book, with the cost per candidate decreasing as more candidates participate. The cost per household contact can be as little as $0.10, rather than the typical $.75 per household price for an individual mailer. Voters receive the information needed to make educated and informed voting decisions while candidates expand their reach by being featured in the Voter Information Book. Past Voter Information Books may be viewed at your local Tri-City library.
County shooters participate in revolver championship BY ANNIE YU Every year, the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts (ICORE) hosts the International Revolver Championship (IRC). The 21st annual competition took place June 1-3 at Hogue Action Pistol Range in San Luis Obispo, CA. This year, four Alameda County shooters participated: Jeffrey Lee of Alameda, Bill Lepior of Castro Valley, Ronald Gunar of Hayward and John Bagakis of Livermore. They were among 241 shooters from multiple
states and countries who competed in one of three divisions – Open, Limited or Classic - and 12 stages of targets from a variety of positions and distances. Competitors range in age from 11 years old to 80 plus; all must be a legal handgun owner. Minors who enter are required to be under the supervision of an adult. Cheered on by family members, they receive free admission and awards from a special prize table. Prizes range from firearms to reloading equipment, gun safes, shooting accessories and non-shooting prizes including winery
tours and restaurant gift certificates. “It’s exciting because it is action shooting and provides a balance between speed and accuracy,” ICORE Competition Director Ron Williamson said. “It’s consistent and mistake-free shooting that prevails.” The IRC also provides a fun venue for competitors and their friends and family. “It’s good to see familiar faces on an annual basis and renew friendships in addition to competing,” Williamson said. “Camaraderie and light bantering throughout the match adds to the overall fun.”

St. Rose Hospital installs advanced medical imaging system SUBMITTED BY RENEE SNYDER St. Rose Hospital, Hayward, has recently installed a new 320 Slice CT scanner, the only scanner of this capacity in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. It can scan a heart in a single heartbeat while administering just a fifth of the radiation dose of conventional scanners. While it takes an average of 7-10 rotations to image a human heart, this technology will allow radiologists to scan an entire organ with just one revolution, reducing the need for multiple scans and invasive procedures. This will enable physicians to treat at-need patients immediately, saving both resources and time. “Introduction of the 320 Slice CT scanner at St. Rose Hospital is in keeping with
the Hospital’s designation as a Cardiac Receiving Center and is a critical component in the hospital’s overall technology enhancement plan,” states Mariellen Faria, COO of St. Rose Hospital. “By adopting the use of state-of-the-art equipment and technology, our goal is to improve the safety, quality and effectiveness of patient care.” Tune in to CBS Television, Channel 5, at 7:22 p.m. on Thursdays, August 2, 9, 2012 for a five-minute segment featuring St. Rose Hospital’s revolutionary 320 Slice CT scanner and discover how the dimensions of diagnostic imaging have dramatically expanded.

Water District puts measure on November ballot SUBMITTED BY MARTY GRIMES The Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors voted unanimously on July 24 to place a measure on the Nov. 6, 2012 ballot to renew an expiring parcel tax and help ensure the quality, safety and supply of our local water resources. The new, 15-year Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection program helps fulfill the five top community priorities, as determined through extensive community outreach: • Ensure a safe, reliable water supply for the future • Reduce toxins, hazards and contaminants, such as mercury and pharmaceuticals, in our waterways • Protect our water supply and local dams from the impacts of earthquakes and natural disasters • Restore fish, bird and wildlife habitat; and provide open space access • Provide flood protection to homes, businesses, schools, streets and highways Any renewal of the voter-approved local funding would not increase existing tax rates, and all funds generated by the measure would be locally controlled and cannot be taken away by the state or federal government. It would: • Include exemption for low-income senior citizens • Require all expenditures to be published annually • Require external oversight by an independent monitoring committee • Require at least two professional audits of the program during the 15-year period
“This measure is what we need. Our revenues are simply not enough to ensure that we are providing safe, reliable water for now and the future. So, we have to rely on going to the public,” said Chair Linda J. LeZotte. The Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection measure, which the voters approved in 2000, has been critical to help meet our area’s need for clean, safe creeks and waterways. Nearly all of the project performance measures in the 2000 plan have been completed or exceeded, or are on track to be completed or exceeded. These include removing more than 4,200 pounds of mercury from local streams and the San Francisco Bay; preventing other pollutants, toxins and hazardous materials from affecting our local waterways; completing the Calabazas Creek Flood Protection Project ahead of the schedule; adding access to more than 66 miles of public trails. But this funding is set to expire in 2016 if voters don’t renew it. If successful in the November election, “Safe Clean Water” will replace the existing “Clean, Safe Creeks” plan. It would allow the district to continue to provide the levels of service that the community has come to expect, as well as add new projects to protect water quality, upgrade and repair infrastructure, restore wildlife habitat and protect against flooding. Without continued funding, there will be major reductions and potential eliminations of programs and services. More detailed information about the proposed program can be found at www.safecleanwater.org.
Tri-City Health Center celebrates National Health Center week SUBMITTED BY CHRISTINA TORRES Tri-City Health Center (TCHC) will host a Community Awards and Open House event on August 9, 2012 in honor of National Health Center Week (NHCW). The theme for this year's NHCW is "Celebrating America's Health Centers: Powering Healthier Communities" and will showcase how Community Health Centers provide access to affordable, high quality, cost effective health care to medically vulnerable and underserved people throughout the United States. Health centers are run from the bottom up, by a patient-majority governing board providing guidance on how limited resources can be effectively directed to meet the health care needs of the community. Since 1970, TCHC services have expanded to include medical, dental, and behavioral services that meet the needs of individuals and the entire family. In 2011 alone, TCHC grew to serve 23,860 patients, offering comprehensive services and specialty care programs, delivered by capable and caring staff that speaks 19 different languages. Over the years, TCHC has stayed true to the mission of providing quality health care services to the underserved and uninsured families in communities of Fremont, Newark and Union City, without regard to financial position, eth-
nicity, language, culture, sexual orientation, or the ability to pay. As part of the NHCW celebrations, TCHC will hold an awards ceremony to honor five outstanding patients who have been positive community examples by following their healthcare plan to improve their overall health. Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett will be honored with an award for her outstanding and continuous commitment to public health care. "It is critical to showcase and celebrate the impact of community health centers in fueling healthier communities, especially in the face of the budget and health care challenges resulting from the current economic and political climate. At Tri-City, we focus on providing high quality and comprehensive services while treating our patients as individuals, with dignity and respect. Our NHCW open house event will demonstrate the importance of community services in the public health sector, and celebrate our success with our patients and our community" said Kathleen A.

of-pocket expenses for a patient receiving kidney dialysis. Unfortunately he later needed to have dialysis. It was a costly decision for the patient.” Caracappa also will briefly discuss other health insurance options established by the federal government for high-risk and/or low-income people, such as: • Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) – This program, created through the Affordable Care Act, allows people with diabetes and other pre-existing conditions who have been uninsured for six months or more to get insurance. Available since 2010, this program will continue until the Affordable Care Act’s provisions banning discrimination against pre-existing conditions are fully implemented in 2014. • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) – This act, passed in 1996, allows people who meet certain criteria to buy individual health insurance when they lose their group health insurance, even if they have a pre-existing condition. HIPPA does not regulate what people can be charged for such coverage, however. • Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) – This act requires employers to offer continuation of health insurance coverage to employees (and their covered dependents) when they lose their group health benefits under certain circumstances such as job
loss, reduction in hours worked, or death of the covered spouse. Coverage is generally limited in time (18-36 months), and qualified individuals may be required to pay the entire premium, plus a two percent administration fee. COBRA generally applies to employers with 20 or more employees. “Finding the right health insurance coverage can be complicated, especially for people with diabetes and other chronic health conditions,” Caracappa says. “Our goal is to help people learn more about what health insurance options may be best for them.” To register for the Diabetes Matters seminar on August 2, visit www.whhs.com or call 510-745-6556 for more information.

BART re-launches law enforcement security enhancement program SUBMITTED BY OFFICER ERA JENKINS In a move to enhance passenger security, keep Station Agents safe and reduce fare evasion, BART is relaunching its Law Enforcement Security Enhancement Program (LESEP). Active, full-time, sworn officers and District Attorney Investigators from pre-authorized law enforcement agencies within the four counties BART serves may ride BART trains through the use of special BART ID smartcards. The LESEP is one of several BART system improvements designed to enhance system security and reduce fare evasion. In 2011, BART officers served
approximately $10M in outstanding BART, local, state and federal warrants after conducting checks on people suspected of criminal activity, including fare evasion, in the BART system. In one case, a fare evasion contact led to the arrest of a wanted bank robber who had escaped from a Federal Correctional Facility. "The presence of law enforcement officers on our system, even when they are off-duty, enhances passenger safety," BART Board President John McPartland said, "Knowing BART is allowing law enforcement officers on board at any time will make those, who have crime on their minds, think twice. Case in point: recently an off duty
Three arrested for armed robbery SUBMITTED BY FREMONT PD Three men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that occurred on July 2, 2012, near the intersection of Irvington Avenue and Fremont Boulevard. On July 2, 2012, at 10:00 p.m., a 47-year-old male victim was leaving work on his bicycle when he was followed by three suspects in a black Chevrolet Silverado. Near the intersection of Irvington Avenue and Fremont Boulevard, two of the suspects exited the vehicle, rushed the victim and threatened to stab him; the two suspects robbed him of his cash and cell phone. It was later learned that earlier in the day the same three suspects robbed an elderly woman of her purse in parking lot of the Great Mall in Milpitas, causing injury to the victim. The Fremont Police Department Robbery Unit and the Milpitas Police Department jointly investigated both cases. Through the investigation, three suspects were positively identified as Jesus Mora (20 year old male; Oakland resident), Michael Bryant (20 year old male; Fremont resident) and Armando Sandoval (20 year old male; Oakland resident). The Fremont Police Department SWAT team was utilized to locate and arrest Mora who had been released from California State Prison less than two weeks prior. Mora was arrested in Castro Valley. A few days later, Bryant was located and arrested in San Jose and Sandoval was located and arrested in Hayward. Bryant was also found to have a felony warrant stemming from a residential burglary case out of Hayward, CA. All three have since been charged in connection with the Fremont armed robbery and could face charges in Santa Clara County stemming from the robbery in Milpitas. If you have any information related to these crimes you are encouraged to contact the Fremont Police Department's Investigative Unit (case agent Detective Gebhardt at 510-790-6954) or the Milpitas Police Department's Investigative Unit (case agent Sergeant Nobida at 408-586-2505).
Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy helped BART Police to locate and arrest two people who had beaten and robbed a passenger on board a train." Other objectives of the LESEP are to minimize BART Station swing gate usage and ticket fraud while maximizing Station Agent safety and BART's control of swing gates by providing secured, smartcard BART system access for peace officers. "The re-launch of this program will not only enhance public safety, but Homeland Security, by shifting the responsibility of identifying eligible peace officers to BART Police personnel rather than the Station Agents," BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey said.
Armed robbery suspect convicted SUBMITTED BY FREMONT PD On July 23, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. a suspect approached a female employee working at the ‘Check N Go’ (39481 Fremont Boulevard), pointed a silver handgun at her, directed her back to the employee area and ordered her to open the safe. After stealing an undisclosed amount of money from the safe, the suspect fled the store as a passenger in a green Chevrolet Camero. Approximately one hour later, the Hayward Police Department received a call regarding two males stuffing their pockets with cash and ‘wiping down’ a green Chevrolet Camero which appeared to have been involved in a collision. Fremont Police units later searched the vehicle and located money envelopes from ‘Check N Go’ as well as a stolen handgun (stolen out of Sacramento). The case was investigated by the Fremont Police Department Robbery Unit. Biological and surveillance evidence linked suspect Donald Jenkins (a 20 yr old adult male; Oakland resident) to the crime. Jenkins had a prior felony conviction and was active to probation for a prior robbery conviction. On July 26, 2011, Jenkins was arrested by Oakland Police Department officers while in Oakland, California. The Fremont Police Department SWAT team assisted in the search for Jenkins and executed search warrants on his residence. Later that month, Jenkins was charged with robbery and felon in possession of a firearm. In June 2012, Jenkins pled guilty to felony robbery. Today, July 24, 2012, Jenkins was sentenced to eight (8) years in prison for his involvement in the robbery. The driver in this robbery is unknown. If you have any information related to this crime and/or know the identity of the driver in this case you are encouraged to contact the Fremont Police Department Investigative Unit (Case Agent Detective Gebhardt at 510-790-6954).

The Automobile
T
he first automobile to travel through Washington Township frightened some horses so much they ran away, “headed for the hills” or the bay, or anywhere away from this smoking, horrifying monster. The 1898 Special Edition of the Washington Press printed in Irvington has a photograph of George Cash and the buggy he used to deliver coal oil and gasoline to his customers. The paper mentions “travel by conveyance,” but the only cars mentioned are railroad cars. The automobile was being developed and was about to change life in Irvington and everywhere else. Joshua Chadbourne was interested in mechanical things and what was happening, so he opened the first garage and sales agency between Oakland and San Jose in 1906. One of his first ads read “J. F. Chadbourne, Agent for Rambler Touring Cars and Runabouts, Irvington.” The 1908 Sanborn map shows a garage opposite a private road by the I. O. O. F. Hall. This was apparently Chadbourne’s. When Joshua sold a car it was usually announced in the local paper with the make of the vehicle along with the price and the purchaser.

Otto Hirsch opened his “Dependable Garage” and was selling Studebakers by 1909. He later advertised the Lexington as “The Thorobred: a New Sport Car.” E. H. Hirsch was a dealer for Star, Chandler and Cleveland autos in 1924. Chadbourne apparently formed a partnership with R. D. Blacow as they were advertising Ramblers and Autocars together in 1910. A twocylinder Autocar cost $600, a two-cylinder Rambler $500, but a one-cylinder Rambler was only $100. Joshua handled other cars including the Marathon, the Mitchell, the Jeffery, the Dodge and the E. M. F. Studebaker. He jokingly said that the E. M. F. stood for “Every Morning Fix Em.” Joshua reported that he drove from Oakland to Irvington in 55 minutes. Irvington had so many dealers that it was becoming an auto center. Babb and Costa later became distributors for Chevrolet autos. They announced that the 1916 Chevrolet was the lowest priced electrically lighted and started automobile in the world and only cost $570. Roy Canright opened his garage on the San Jose Road. Ed Rose was operating a Niles bicycle shop in 1905 while people were starting to buy automobiles. Rose and Son advertised “Auto for Hire” at their Fashion Livery Stable in 1909. The livery became a Ford dealership by 1915 and was advertised in 1923 as the “biggest between Oakland and San Jose. His Lincoln-Ford garage was advertised in both Niles and Centerville. His garage was called “Washington Township’s Chevrolet Headquarters” in 1934. Ed also sold other cars including the Overland.
later the Graham Page. The Nash boasted of two spark plugs per cylinder. Santos Bros. established a garage while selling Chrysler and Plymouth autos. Joe Adams became a Ford dealer in the Furtado Building and sold about 1,500 cars the first ten years, which included the war years when there were no new cars. Romeo Brunelli bought Ed Rose’s Centerville Garage and Chevrolet agency in 1937 and named it the Central Chevrolet Company. The DiGiulio Brothers moved from Niles to Centerville in 1964 and became the first big firm in the new business district on the Peralta Boulevard extension. Centerville was now the automotive center of the township. A list of Centerville dealerships in 1969 included Di Giulio Pontiac, Central Chevrolet, King Arthur Toyota, Pierotti, Fremont Motors Co., Mezzetti Volkswagon, Gibson British Cars and Golden Motors.

The American Garage was owned by Louis and Caesar Di Giulio, who were agents for Chrysler cars and Hood Tires. A 1930 ad featured the Willys Knight, Willys Six and A.A.A service. Louis later was founder of the DiGiulio Pontiac dealership. Several garages had been opened in Centerville by 1910. R. W. Emery advertised as agent for “The Merkel” motorcycle in 1909. A motorcycle/auto crash had already been reported. N. B. Randall owned the Centerville Garage and was agent for Overland cars. The Overland Model 79 cost $1,075 but was $125 more when equipped with an electric starter and generator. Randall was the “Associate Dealer” for the Dodge Brothers Motor Car in 1916 whose “gasoline consumption was unusually low and its tire mileage unusually high.” Sid Holman was the Chevrolet agent. His ad encouraged men to buy a second car “so the wife wouldn’t be marooned during the day.” E. L. King and F. W. Madruga were agents for the Nash and

Oriental fruit flies found in Santa Clara County SUBMITTED BY KEVIN O’DAY An infestation of Oriental Fruit Fly was discovered on July 23-25, 2012, in the City of Morgan Hill. Four flies were trapped near one another near the intersection of Monterey Road and Tennant Avenue. The identification of these insects was confirmed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). According to State protocol, the trapping of two or more flies resulted in an emergency proclamation by the California Secretary of Agriculture authorizing immediate implementation of an eradication program. The planned eradication treatments are scheduled to commence on July 28, 2012, and will involve the “male attractant” technique using ground-based, spot applications of insecticide and pheromone lure. This gelatinous mixture is applied as small, dollar-sized spots (“bait stations”) on street trees and utility poles. The male fruit flies are attracted to these spots because of the lure, and die from feeding on the minute amount of insecticide in the mixture. The treatments are applied at heights that are typically inaccessible and cause minimal disruption to the public. CDFA workers will treat an area of approximately 16 square miles as part of this eradication effort. The treatment area is roughly bounded by Cochrane Road on the north, Hill Road on the east, San Martin Avenue on the south, and Oak Glen Avenue on the west. Oriental Fruit Fly is an exotic insect pest found throughout much of southern Asia. Distribution in the United States is restricted to the Hawaiian Islands. Oriental Fruit Fly is a pest of over 230 kinds of fruits and vegetables including citrus, stone fruits, pome fruits, avocado and tomato. Infestations of Oriental Fruit Fly likely result from the introduction of contraband fruit. In the past few weeks, this invasive pest has also been found in the Orange County.

Calif. lawmakers hand out pay raises amid cuts JULIET WILLIAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), California lawmakers have handed out raises to more than 1,000 employees of the state Legislature in the last year, even as they made deep budget cuts and cut pay for other state workers. The news comes as Democrats promote a November ballot initiative seeking to temporarily raise income and sales taxes to help ease California's ongoing budget woes. Newly released documents show that officials in the state Assembly and Senate approved raises as high as 10 percent for some top-level staffers. More than 110 of the 1,090 raises given out in the last fiscal year went to legislative employees who were making six-figure salaries, according to the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the raises. Senate President Pro Tem Darrel Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he would seek to freeze pay increases in the Senate for the coming year, but the Assembly has not made any such move. A spokesman for Steinberg, Rhys Williams, said the merit increases came after several years of pay freezes and reductions in operating expenses in the Legislature. He said the cost of living has risen much faster than legislative pay over the last five years. He said it is wrong for opponents of Gov. Jerry Brown's November tax initiative to link the salaries to Democrats. “The Republican members have given their staff raises as well. They are nonpartisan staff ... They all fall in the same category which is having seen their pay overtaken by inflation,” Williams said Friday. He said all the raises were merit increases based upon performance reviews. A spokesman for Perez did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press. Among those who saw pay increases, Christopher Woods, chief budget consultant for Assembly Speaker John Perez, DLos Angeles, was the highest paid employee to receive a raise, of 3.6 percent, which puts his annual pay at $193,476. In the Senate, Kathryn Dresslar, chief assistant to Steinberg, received a 10 percent salary increase, to $183,480. ––– Information from: Los Angeles Times, http://www.latimes.com

Since its discovery, and in full cooperation with the regulatory authorities, the company has taken immediate steps to isolate and remedy the problem.” No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue. Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged to destroy them; if refund or replacement is desired, consumers should remove the white sticker found on the back of the package.

A look at "wellness" programs funded by Proposition 63 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), A look at some Proposition 63 wellness programs in various California counties: – SAN BERNARDINO: Has budgeted $8.1 million over three years for a ``holistic campus'' of three community centers that provide services like acupuncture, art classes, equine therapy, tai-chi and zumba to the general public. The recently-launched program is expected to reach about 7,000 people a year – FRESNO: Spends $171,620 a year for a ``horticultural therapy'' program that serves 110 gardeners annually from marginalized groups, including Hmong immigrants and migrant farmworkers. The program helps residents meet their neighbors and grow produce not available locally, and also holds community events. – SAN FRANCISCO: Spends $250,000 per year on an African-American Holistic Wellness Program that uses ethnic celebrations, oral histories and arts to build a stronger sense of community among blacks in the low-income Bayview neighborhood. The county also holds a lunchtime yoga class for Department of Public Health ``peer staff'' workers who have had personal experience with the mental health system, either through their own treatment or through a family member. The classes are an hour long, cost $100 each and attract an average of six attendees. – KINGS: The state approved $944,843 to start an EquineFacilitated Psychotherapy program for students who are not reading at grade level or otherwise not doing well in school. The three-year program was expected to serve 24 people a year. – LOS ANGELES: The Tri-City Mental Health Center, which serves Pomona, Claremont, and La Verne, received approval for $230,000 to develop student wellbeing programs expected to reach more than 100 people a year. The proposal included a plan for self-help, drop-in centers featuring massage chairs for relieving muscle tension, a meditation room and a biofeedback lab where students use computer software to learn breathing and relaxation techniques. – SANTA CLARA: The state approved $ 2.1 million to establish a community center that will be a hub for ``traditional'' wellness practices including acupuncture and meditation. The center is expected to serve 1,500 people a year and operate for three years. – NAPA: A monthly sweat lodge session is one element of a program for Native Americans with an approved 10-month budget of $53,692. The program, which was expected to reach 510 people, also includes a monthly potluck, powwows and traditional drumming circles. – BUTTE: The state approved a three-year $536,540 Therapeutic Wilderness Experience program that takes teenagers with behavioral problems on a 20-day outdoor adventure. The program was expected to help more than 90 families, but has not yet been implemented. – STANISLAUS: Received a three-year budget of $308,863 for an arts project open to anyone in the county. The arts center provides free classes and youth groups, and doubles as a gallery. The state also approved $75,000 for ``Friends are Good Medicine,'' an online directory of self-help groups that address topics ranging from bereavement to weight struggles to single parenting. – RIVERSIDE: Received approval for a 12-week ``mood management'' course titled Mamas y Bebes that helps young Latina mothers create a healthy physical, social, and psychological environment for themselves and their infants. The course is one of eight parenting programs that together have an annual approved budget of $2,958,317. – SUTTER: The state approved $93,000 a year to help 40 atrisk youth ``thrive not just survive'' through gym memberships, dance classes and team sports. – SAN DIEGO: The state approved $547,805 for the inaugural year of a program where homebound seniors receive daily meals from workers who also screen them for depression or suicidal thoughts.

AP WIRE SERVICE CHICAGO (AP), A postcard mailed from Chicago in 1958 has finally reached its intended recipient, but not without a little help from Facebook. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a postcard depicting Shedd Aquarium recently arrived at Scott McMurry's Virginia home, more than five decades after his mom mailed it. The 71-year-old says he immediately recognized his mother's handwriting. The postcard was addressed to Clairmont Lane in Decatur, Georgia, where McMurry grew up. But it recently arrived in Elizabeth Fulcher's mailbox on Clairmont Lane in South Daytona, Florida. Fulcher posted a picture of the postcard on Facebook and her friends helped track down McMurry. The half-century mail delay remains a mystery. In the meantime, the aquarium has offered to give him a tour of the attraction that his late parents visited.

Theatre Review
BY JANET GRANT PHOTOS BY BENNETT BAROUCH Ohmigod you guys! StarStruck Theater rocked the stage of Ohlone College Jackson Theater Friday night with “Legally Blonde the Musical.” Over 50 of the Bay Area’s brightest and best teen talent brought the house down with raucous entertainment and rousing musical numbers. Originally a book by Amanda Brown, than a 2001 movie, “Legally Blonde the Musical” continues the lively franchise of Elle Wood and her Delta Nu sisterhood. Nominated for seven Tony awards, this feel-good musical was done proud by the able leadership of Director and Producer Lori Stokes and the amazing talent of Assistant Director and Choreographer, Jeanne Batacan-Harper. Music Director Nancy Godfrey as always, led an exceptional orchestra through a night of invigorating tunes.
SUBMITTED BY RHEA NAYAK Fifteen-year old Fremont resident and 4-H member Rhea Nayak recently led a successful community service project that addressed community safety through the distribution of emergency first aid kits. “We have identified this as an issue in our community,” Rhea said. 4-H programs help to prepare young people to make a difference.

The story is simple. Elle Wood, a vapid sorority queen is dumped by her boyfriend Warner because she isn’t serious enough for a guy on the fast-track. So what does she do? Follow him to Harvard Law School to win him back of course! And along the way, she finds friendship, love, loyalty, and her true potential and self-worth. Starstruck newcomer Amy TilsonLumetta set the tone for the night portraying Elle Wood with charm, energy, and the right amount of vacuous humor and an amazing set of lungs! Jonathan Barouch as Emmett Forrest, complimented Elle perfectly with his boyish sensitivity and knightly loyalty. Jacob Woll was a convincing Warner Huntington III; deceptively charming and snakish. Jeremy Griffith as the master slime ball Professor Griffith, was particularly effective

A comparable store-bought kit can cost over $15. 3M’s Healthcare division donated assorted Nexcare bandages and the American Red Cross allowed the club to print and include their first aid ata-glance handout in each kit. The kits are well stocked with a variety of first aid items including roll gauze, wrap bandages, cold compress, gloves, cotton balls, Ibuprofen, assorted bandages, antiseptic wipes, an-
with his “Blood in the Water” ? a ruthless lawyer song if there ever was one! Kelsey Findlay was hilarious as hair dresser and kind-hearted Paulette. Her “Ireland” number was one of the funniest songs of the evening and her endearing romance with Kyle the UPS man (portrayed uproariously by Connor Stokes) was a delightful side-story. Allison D’Ambrosio was also convincing as fitness guru, Brooke Wyndham. Her atheletic prowess was especially amazing in “Whipped into Shape.” Special mention should also go to the talents of Karina Simpson (Vivienne Kensington), Calle Garrett (Enid), Katherine Hall (Chutney), and the Delta Nu Sorority Sister trio of Katherine de la Cruz (Pilar), Cara Wodka (Margot), and Amy Mendonca (Serena). And as wonderful as the principal actors were, kudos have to go to the ensemble cast
H Summer Camp. “The best part of the First Aid Kits project is receiving feedback on the impact it has had on the community”, Rhea said. East Hills Community Club co-leader Tanya Daly thinks the kits are a great benefit to her club, saying “they not only provide materials needed for a first aid incident, they provide the assurance that they are available.” Rena Kiehn with the City of Fremont’s Teens and Community

civic engagement projects have been launched statewide through the 4-H “Revolution of Responsibility” initiative, part of a celebration of the centennial anniversary of 4-H in California. Rhea received a grant from the University of California 4-H Youth Development Program for her project and, with the help of her 4-H club, she assembled and distributed 250 first aid kits to local organizations that work with children. Purchasing supplies in bulk enabled the team to assemble kits at low cost of four
tibiotic ointment packs, burn cream packs, cotton tip applicators, sterile eye pads, gauze pads, tweezers, safety pin, single-use thermometer, tongue depressors, emergency card and first aid instruction. Recipients include Irvington High School in Fremont, the City of Fremont’s Recreational Programs, Sunrise Village Family Shelter in Fremont, Dream Catcher Emergency Youth Shelter in Alameda, Alameda County 4-H projects, and Alameda County 4-
Programming noticed the kits have outfitted most of Fremont’s camps and schools, commenting, “How cool is this!” Irvington High School PTSA President Ujjwala Gadgil appreciated the kits as well. “The first aid supplies will certainly help us keep our students safe,” she said. With the help her 4-H club, Rhea was able to help the community. “I believe that each one of us can contribute and make a difference in our own unique way,” she said.
from the Greek Sisters to the Marching Band. The lively and energetic singing and dancing to such numbers as the opening “Omigod You Guys,” colorful and exuberant “What You Want,” jump rope extravaganza “Whipped into Shape,” and the hilarious “Bend and Snap,” were phenomenal and well worth the ticket price! StarStruck’s production of “Legally Blonde the Musical” has everything a theater-goer could want - PG-13 humor, love, a murder trial, energetic show tunes, a marching band, a Greek chorus, two really cute dogs, and exceptional talent. There’s nothing more an audience could ask for here. Come see StarStruck’s “Legally Blonde.” The jury is in with the verdict ? it’s a fun, lively, fast-paced night of pure entertainment.

Tri-City Stargazer AUGUST 1 – AUGUST 7, 2012 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: Over the weekend we have an aspect that suggests intensity in relationships. We may not be functioning altogether consciously and could be pulled into schemes of manipulation or compulsive behaviors. Existing relationships could re-experience the pain of old wounds. We have a choice of whether to work it through or act it out in the same ways we did the first time. Hesitate before you respond in anger or jealousy.
Aries (March 21-April 20): Circumstances are falling together to create a really challenging week ahead. On the physical level, you may have a load of heavy lifting or other chores to manage. This occurs at a time when your mind may not be altogether attentive. Use special care when managing tools or unusual projects.
Taurus (April 21-May 20): Relationships may feel intense and complicated at this time. You may sense some negative force at work. It is also possible that spending may get out of hand. Leave the credit cards at home. For some, you may experience bill collectors at the door.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): This is a good time to take an in depth survey of your most important relationship. (This could also include observing yourself in relation to clientele.) Study yourself first and determine whether any harbored anger is causing you to sabotage the connection. Tackle whatever problems exist in a healthy, direct way.
Cancer (June 21-July 21): News from afar may be dragging you down during this period. It’s possible that you are too distracted to attend to routine life. Do yourself a favor and disconnect from the media. You need a break. It isn’t mandatory that you follow everything that is happening.
Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22):Leo the Lion: (July 22 - Aug 22) Next week, on Aug. 8, Mercury will turn direct. Decisions that you may have set aside in recent weeks will be easier to settle. Your sense of stability will return. This week your attitude is hopeful and friends will be very helpful.
Virgo the Virgin (August 3-September 22): It is likely you will have fortunate developments related to your home, family, and security this week. Those who are spiritually inclined will find encouraging feedback for your studies. You and your partner may not connect well this week. Don’t worry. This is brief. It will change by next week.
Libra (September 23-October 22): It appears that your attention will be needed in multiple arenas. Work/career is competing with your need to keep the peace with home and family. Use good stress relieving techniques or your temper may get the best of you now.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): It may require a Herculean effort, but step aside from arguments or bickering this week. You may not know all the facts of the matter. Be cautious of entering into new involvements at this time because you may be acting from an unconscious place. Attractions could wind up badly.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): It is possible you will experience a time of heaviness, due to the dawning awareness that something you have believed may not be true at all. This might have been developing all summer. For this week travel and relationship experiences should be positive.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Your issues with the Powers That Be could be disturbing your state of mind. It may be that there is a jumble of small threads that are tying you up in a knot. The tension may be showing itself in physical discomfort as well. Give yourself extra rest and take your vitamins during this challenging time.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): You are moving toward the finish line on the end of a project that began roughly 2.5 years ago. It appears there is one major piece
of the pie left to complete and that has begun this summer. By the end of October you must finalize and move on.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): The Fish are prone to be connected to the collective. Right now the unrest and general angst on the planet could cause you a personal sense of foreboding. If this is so, then it is time to disconnect from the world at large and give yourself a breather from the news.

Tactical Medics in Fremont
H
istorically, the Fremont Fire Department has evolved with the goal of providing the highest quality of service possible to the public. In the late 1800’s, the only purpose of fire departments was to extinguish fires. But since that time, services have become incredibly diverse to meet the growing needs of cities such as Fremont. The most recent addition to the services provided by the Fremont Fire Department is tactical paramedics attached to the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s several incidents occurred that illustrated the need for specialists prepared to deal with injuries when SWAT teams are necessary. Most notably, during the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado, one victim died of blood loss from a gunshot wound as a SWAT team worked to secure the scene. In a subsequent lawsuit, it was found that the SWAT team was negligent by not providing immediate medical treatment. In response to incidents such as this and threats of terrorism, SWAT teams across the
SUBMITTED BY: MIA BRADWAY WINTER Wow! What a neat-looking yard! Whether it's your own property, a rental, multi-family unit, Home Owners Association complex, or business establishment, get the credit you deserve for doing a great job keeping your front yard looking good. "Let’s be proud of this City by getting involved in the Neighborhood Beautification Program today," said Mayor Jose Esteves. "Happy and healthy families thrive in beautiful neighborhoods, so let's beautify our yards and make our neighbors smile every time they pass by," added Esteves. Established in 2000 by the City of Milpitas, nominations are taking place now for the 12th Annual Neighborhood Beautification Awards in partnership with the Community Advisory Commission (CAC). All submissions are judged on improvements to landscaping of front yard properties visible from public view. The nomination deadline is August 31st. "CAC's involvement in community beautification efforts began in 1954 when the CAC was founded," said Samantha Beard, CAC Chair. "With shrinking City resources, neighborhood beautification efforts start with you. We want to acknowledge property owners who are making a difference in Milpitas."
country have been training doctors, nurses, and paramedics to become an integral component of SWAT teams. Approximately 10 years ago, a joint effort of Fremont police and fire departments created a tactical paramedic position within the Fremont SWAT team. Leaders of both departments determined that three firefighter/paramedics would be chosen for the position. SWAT medics are required to attend over 300 hours of law enforcement training including a 180-hour reserve police officer level 3 - academy. Following completion of this training, SWAT medics are official reserve police officers while continuing their status as Fremont firefighter/ paramedics. SWAT medics must attend 22 hours of training per month in addition to their fire department training and are on-call for
SWAT “call outs” 24-hours a day. Generally a call out is initiated by the Fremont Police Department when there is need for a warrant to be served or a hazardous incident, such as an active shooter, that requires SWAT capabilities. With the addition of the SWAT medic position, the team is now capable of treating life-threatening injuries at the time of the incident, in the active area of the incident, known as the “hot zone.” Immediate medical treatment can be critically important because with traumatic injuries such as gunshot wounds and stab wounds blood loss can be fatal if not stopped within a short timeframe. Thanks to progressive action by Fremont Fire and Police departments, our SWAT team is prepared to save lives during critical emergencies like mass shootings and violent crimes.
All entries receive a Certificate of Recognition appreciation award at a reception presented by City Leaders and CAC during a November City Council meeting. Black Bear Diner, 174 W. Calaveras, winner of the 2011 Non-residential property award (business), is donating gift certificates to the winners.

Attractive Multi-family Units: mobile homes, apartment complexes and duplexes. 3. Attractive Home Owners Association: residential homes that pay homeowner association dues. 4. Attractive non residential property: non-residential properties including (restaurants, business, medical offices and shopping centers). 5. Staff Choice Award - case files of properties previously in violation of city ordinances and have improved, making a positive impact.
6. Building a Sense of Community - an organization, school or business that has created an environment positively impacting the City of Milpitas.

Griggs to head Comcast SportsNet Bay Area SUBMITTED BY JAY DELA CRUZ Ted Griggs, a native of Hayward, California and a graduate of Moreau Catholic High School and San Francisco State University, has been promoted to president of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. He has been with the network since 1998, first serving as vice president of production and operations, and since 2007 as vice president and general manager. Griggs’ promotion is effective immediately, and was announced July 26 by Jon Litner, Group President of NBC Sports Group. Litner said,” Ted is a talented and creative television executive with an unbridled passion for Bay Area sports. Under his leadership, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, in concert with Comcast SportsNet California, has quickly become the leader for regional sports programming in Northern California.” Griggs added, “I’m honored to work with the most talented people in sports television who present viewers with the highest quality sports coverage in the region on a daily basis. I’d like to thank Jon for this recognition and I look forward to continuing the network's efforts to provide comprehensive, entertaining and insightful programming to Northern California sports fans.” Griggs was the executive producer for the 2010 “Out. The Glenn Burke Story,” about the first openly gay MLB player, which earned critical acclaim, including nominations for Outstanding Documentary at the annual national GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Awards and at the Northern California Area Emmy Awards. Also, in 2011, the sports news division began producing live daily sports news segments for NBC Bay Area’s 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. Griggs has also guided Comcast SportsNet’s community relations efforts, which include the All-Star Teacher Award and Comcast Cares Day; programming and promotional support for the Special Olympics of Northern California and the Make-AWish Foundation Greater Bay Area Chapter; and fundraising support for the Willie Mays Boys and Girls Club at Hunters Point. NBC Sports Regional Networks is part of the NBC Sports Group, 14 local networks that deliver more than 2,400 sporting events annually along with breaking news and comprehensive analysis to more than 50 million cable and satellite homes.

ceive updates leading up to the night of the event. The night can include flashlight walks, contests, youth programs, an ice cream social, BBQ, or an international potluck, serving groups from five to hundreds. It all depends on registered participant party plans. Those who register will receive a “National Night Out Organizational Kit,” complete with promotional ideas, guidelines, tips, questions and answers, photo ready art, sample news releases and proclamations on previous years and the event as a whole. Fremont Police Department’s Community Engagement Specialist Monica Matthiesen stated, “Each year we try to have a theme to the parties, some years it is easier to notice the theme more, but this year our theme is Staying Connected.” With social media and websites, there are many opportunities to connect with neighbors and cities. Matthiesen notes, “Many people use Facebook or Twitter but the Fremont Police Department. also has a more private and secure site to help people stay connected and current with updates using a program called Nixle. “We are encouraging Fremont residents to ‘stay connected’ with one another by participating in a Neighborhood Crime watch group, sharing neighborhood information as well as reporting all and any suspicious activity or person(s) to the police, to institute unity.” Matthiesen added, “We want to heighten crime and drug awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit as well as police partnerships, and most importantly, send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods and communities are organized and fighting back.” National Night Out promotes this concept through community awareness and neighborhood action. There are no financial barriers to participate; organizers work to ensure that the only thing necessary is a desire to have a great time. So far 120 parties have registered in Fremont alone, but many more are
expected. Similar participation is expected in neighboring cities. For more information on National Night Out visit www.natw.org or contact your city’s police department.

Theatre SUBMITTED BY SUSAN E. EVANS
T
he Douglas Morrisson Theatre (DMT) is excited to introduce "Broke-ology," the third show in the 2012 "Bare Bones" staged reading series. The play, by Nathan Louis Jackson, is a warm, emotionally stirring portrait of an African-American family set in a down-at-the heels Kansas City neighborhood. Broke-ology is the study of being broke; how Ennis, who has been caring for his ailing father, describes the situation to his younger brother Malcolm, who is back home for a while and helping out. However, Malcolm has a job offer from the University of Connecticut and wants to accept it. Tensions rise and tempers flare, but the family’s love prevails. Jackson’s touching family drama continues DMT’s Bare Bones series, staged readings of edgier pieces by contemporary writers. "Broke-ology" premiered at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts with its New York premiere as the opening production of Lincoln Center Theater's 25th season in 2009.
Jackson grew up in a neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas, much like the setting of "Broke-ology." After finishing at Kansas State University in 2007, he was accepted into Juilliard, two days before his baby daughter was born. Despite his youth, Jackson is an old-school realistic playwright. “My job is to re-create life, and I need life to do that,” he says. For his first Juilliard effort, Jackson has totally reworked a play he had already written and called it "Broke-ology," a story inspired by his own father who died in 2001. Jackson now divides his time between Los Angeles, writing for television, and Kansas City, where his wife and daughter live and where his mother still lives in the house where he grew up. Jackson is the recipient of two Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Awards, the Mark Twain Playwriting Award and the Kennedy Center's Gold Medallion. His most recent work, "When I Come to Die," explores a death-row inmate’s struggle to find faith and hope and understand why his life has been spared after he survives a lethal injection. Director Norman Gee has been involved in Bay Area theatre for over two decades as an actor, director, teaching
artist, and jack of all trades. He recently returned to San Jose Stage Company as Assistant Director and Dramaturg for The Stage’s world premiere production of "Buffalo'ed" by Jeannie Barroga. Norman is the Artistic Director of Oakland Public Theater, where he has directed "Children of the Last Days" and "American Limbo." A colleague of Jeannie Barroga for years, he directed an award-winning production of her play "Banyan" at the Mira Theatre. The Douglas Morrisson Theatre is located next to the Senior Center and the Japanese Gardens. The Box Office is open Tuesday through Friday, 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Broke-ology August 7 8 p.m. Douglas Morrisson Theatre 22311 N.

SUBMITTED BY SUZAN LORRAINE SUBMITTED BY MOINA SHAIQ On Saturday, Aug 4, members of Tri Cities - Fremont, Union City, and Newark Muslim community will celebrate and reach out to their neighbors of all faiths by hosting a traditional Ramadan Iftar, or fast-breaking dinner, at Islamic Society of East Bay. “As more than one billion Muslims worldwide celebrate Ramadan by fasting and appreciating the blessings given to us, it is equally important for the American Muslim community to reach out to our neighbors as an example of true Islamic ideals,” said Ahsan Baig, Outreach Committee Chair. “We are here to show our friends and neighbors that American Muslims will continue to be contributing members of our society,” said Baig. Ramadan is the month on the Islamic lunar calendar during which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from break of dawn to sunset. The fast is performed to learn discipline,
self-restraint and generosity, while obeying God’s commandments. Fasting (along with the declaration of faith, daily prayers, charity, and pilgrimage to Mecca) is one of the “five pillars” of Islam. The end of Ramadan will be marked by communal prayers called “Eid ul-Fitr,” or Feast of the Fast-Breaking, on August 19, 2012. (Because Ramadan is a lunar month, the actual date is governed by sighting of the new moon. Ask local coordinators for exact dates and times.) There are an estimated 10,000 Muslims in the East Bay Area and some seven million nationwide. Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in this country and around the world.

“Lost in Yonkers” is Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning story about two young boys forced to spend a year in Yonkers with their ill-tempered grandmother and mentally challenged but kind-hearted aunt. The boys are doomed to live a very strict lifestyle until their amateur gangster uncle appears to stir things up a bit. Uncle Louie ends up helping both the boys and their aunt understand their aging grandmother and realize the importance of acceptance and love, despite the hardship of life in Yonkers. “Lost in Yonkers” is a play rich with humor and sensitivity. Although it is set during WWII, Simon published “Lost in Yonkers” as America was entering the Gulf War in the Middle East, circa 1991. With history repeating itself, the main themes – survival, the importance of one's family and acceptance – still seem timely. The play is technically a comedy; the darker material is handled with Simon's light, just-funny-enough touch, allowing the audience to laugh their way through moments that otherwise would be uneasy. Tickets are $18 general admission and $15 for seniors (60 plus) and students. Take advantage of Bargain Night on Saturday, August 4 when tickets are $13.

Help the Junior Giants’ Hayward League Larry Standley Field can only win makeover, if community participates SUBMITTED BY SHERYL BOYKINS For the 12th year, the Hayward Police Department has partnered with the San Francisco Giants Baseball team to host the Junior Giants during the summer months. The Junior Giants Ball Program is for children, many of whom would not ordinarily have access to a structured baseball program. Participants, generally aged 5-14 years, may not excel in a structured competitive sports league but thrive in this less competitive atmosphere. This program encourages character development over winning. It fosters the attitude that effort is as important as the results. All children play every position regardless of their ability; the promotion of self-esteem and sportsmanship are more important than keeping score. Junior Giants is free to any child who wishes to participate. This year, the league has signed more than 500 participants. The San Francisco Giants supply a T-shirt and baseball hat, uniforms and all equipment. Hayward PD’s responsibility includes supplying adult supervision by police officers, coaches, snacks and training of the coaches. The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District supports these efforts with use and maintenance of the park. Strengthening community relationships, Hayward PD hires four youth coaches, ages 16-19, at minimum wages who live or attend school in the City of Hayward. They are encouraged to model the concept of placing higher value on character than wins or losses.
Every year, Junior Giants try to improve the program. In 2011, in partnership with the Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) breakfast and lunches were added. This year, the program runs from June 12 until August 9, 2012. The San Francisco Giants have proven to be great partners in this effort and invited all the leagues to participate in the Buster Posey Park Makeover. The Giants and Buster Posey will select a location in need of a $40,000-makeover. The Hayward League is one of the top nine finalists for the Buster’s Ball Field Makeover. Of these nine, the three with the most votes continue to the next stage of the selection process in which Buster Posey will choose whose local ball field will receive the makeover. The Hayward League is the only league from the East Bay and needs the both the Hayward community and East Bay’s help, support and votes to secure a place in the top three. To help the Hayward League, visit http://tinyurl.com/brfq6q2 and vote for Larry Standley Field, Hayward. Please vote daily to secure a makeover that will benefit the children in our community and for a chance to win the following: Grand Prize - six premium field club tickets, a jersey and six baseballs signed by Buster Posey; Second Prize - two tickets to a Giants home game and a baseball bat autographed by Buster Posey; 10 Third Prizes – a SF Giants toaster autographed by Buster Posey. For more information, call Lt. Sheryl Boykins, Hayward Police Department at (510) 293-7270.
Newark U10 Girls Take First at Azuri Summer Classic
SUBMITTED BY MARLENE BOUZA The U10 Newark Elite United Girls placed first in the Azuri Summer Classic in San Ramon on July 21-22. United was undefeated on Day 1, defeating San Ramon Azuri 4-1, and Benicia Arsenal 1-0. United’s 2-0 Day 1 record was good enough to land them a spot in the semi-finals on Day 2. Day 2 was a single elimination day in the tournament, meaning that with one loss that team is knocked out. In the semi-final game against Danville Samba, United pulled off another victory, this time by the score of 3-0. This win earned them a spot in the finals, where they would play San
Ramon Azuri again. In the final game, United started off with a bang, scoring the game’s first goal just a minute after the kick off. United would score again just before the halftime whistle blew, ending the first half with a 2-0 lead. San Ramon Azuri scored right off the bat in the second half, closing the gap to 2-1. However, United wasn’t finished. About fifteen minutes later, United scored its third goal, and with five minutes left to play, United scored again, increasing its lead to 4-1. That would be more than enough for United to claim the victory, as they won the game by a final score of 4-1. United scored a combined 12 goals during their tournament
win, thanks to goals scored by Cheyenne Williams, Analiz Ceja, Samantha Armas, Shelby Trainor, and Harneet Matharu. On the other hand, United only allowed two goals the whole tournament. This was a direct result of excellent defensive work by Lydia Bouza, Maleia Colker, Reya Adoni, Elissa Misner, Riley Accurso, and Arnia Harris. Head coach Marlene Bouza said, “Each player contributed to our success and played very well together as a team, while enduring the 95 plus degree weather. It was very hot out there and the girls played their hearts out. We are very proud of them!” Head Coach - Marlene Bouza Manager - Joel Bouza Assistant Coach - Marisa Homen
The Olympic Games: Politics at Play SUBMITTED BY JOHANNA FASSBENDER The Olympics are here, along with the potential for history to be made on and off the field. Hayward Area Historical Society, in collaboration with Castro Valley Library, will present, The Olympic Games: Politics at Play, a presentation by Rita Liberti, a sports historian in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University, East Bay, on the connection between the Olympic Games and social issues. The program takes place at 2 p.m. on August 4 at the Castro Valley Library and is free to the public. As the 2012 summer Olympic Games continue, people around the world anticipate and look forward to the action for its keen competition, interesting stories, and amazing athleticism. In addition, many are drawn to the Olympics, like sports in general, because it is viewed as a place and time where politics and world problems are forgotten and put on hold. Sport is thought to be mere amusement with the Games continued on page 29

Northern California championship recap BY KENNY JACOBY AND ED HUGO PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Mission San Jose Little League (MSJLL) hosted the Division II Major All-Star tournament July 21-28, essentially the Northern California championships for the Major division (11-12 year-old). Winner of this tournament would advance to the Western Regional Tournament, in which state champion teams from the west region face off. The Western Regional tournament champion becomes Team West, advancing to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. At this level, teams from all over the world compete. All Little League World Series games are covered extensively on ESPN. In double elimination play, two losses removes a team from competition. The first loss causes a team to drop into an elimination bracket, where they must win all remaining games in order to advance. In round one, Petaluma National Little League (PNLL) dismantled Turlock National Little League (TNLL) by the score of 17-0, sending TNLL to the elimination bracket. River Park Little League (RPLL) also smashed Sutter Buttes Little League (SBLL) 10-2. The final round one competition was close as Lakeside Little League (LLL) defeated Quito Little League (QLL) 6-5 on a walk off home run from the ninth place hitter, Derek Galvan. PNLL advanced to play San Ramon Little League (SRLL) in round two. SRLL drew a first round bye, so this was their first game. SRLL’s rustiness showed in this game, as they lost in a slugfest to PNLL 16-8. LLL played RPLL in the other winner’s bracket game, and RPLL continued their dominant ways, winning 12-4. Meanwhile, in the elimination bracket, QLL shut out SBLL 12-0, knocking SBLL out of the tournament. QLL’s starting pitcher Jason Munsch faced twelve batters in the outing, and struck out eleven. The only batter that got on base for SBLL reached on an error. The game ended by the mercy rule in four innings. In the third round of the tournament, two more teams were eliminated. LLL sent TNLL home after a nail-biting 4-3 victory. In addi-
Fremont Police Log continued from page 8 At approximately 4:39 p.m., Fry’s Electronics called for a petty theft in progress. The suspect fled the store just prior to Officer Malcomson’s arrival. Fry’s employees told Officer Malcomson that the suspect ran across the street to the gas station. Officer Malcomson found witnesses and tracked the suspect to Walmart. Officer Malcomson located the suspect, a 35-year-old male adult, inside the store. The suspect was arrested and charged with burglary. July 24 At approximately 11:00 a.m. an alert employee spotted an envelope in our incoming mailbox that looked similar to mail sent to other agencies this weekend containing white powder. The mail was isolated, and Detective Loughery took over. The FBI responded to collect the evidence and confirmed the envelope contained a similar white powder before they left. Investigation is ongoing. At about 11:50 a.m. a victim called to report that a male had attempted to break into her house (5000 block of Paseo Padre Parkway)
tion, SRLL knocked out QLL after winning by the score of 9-6. In the semi-final of the winner’s bracket, PNLL faced RPLL. Both teams were 2-0 entering the game, and each had an outrageous amount of runs scored. PNLL had scored 33 runs already, and RPLL had scored 22. However, it was PNLL’s day, as they shut out RPLL by the score of 15-0. The game ended in four innings, as PNLL’s
year old championship by coming from the elimination bracket to defeat SRLL twice. Though many expected PNLL to run away with the win, this was not the case. After several lead changes throughout the game, SRLL was down 7-6 in the bottom of the sixth and final inning; their tournament life on the line. With one out and runners on second and third, Nic Mc-
pitchers Danny Marzo, Logan Douglas, and Bradley Smith combined to toss a no-hit shutout, with only two walks allowed and nine strikeouts. PNLL advanced to the championship game with the victory, and would have to lose twice to be eliminated, while only needing to win once to advance. In the elimination bracket, SRLL crushed LLL 10-0, knocking them out of the tournament and advancing to the elimination bracket semi-final, where they would play RPLL. SRLL rode the momentum from their victory against LLL to defeat RPLL 9-1. After losing their first game to PNLL, SRLL won three straight games to earn their way back to a rematch against PNLL. SRLL would have to win twice against PNLL, who had outscored their opponents 48-8 up to that point. However, SRLL had scored all eight of those runs against PNLL. This is the third year in a row that these two teams have met in Little League’s California Division II finals. In 2010, SRLL defeated PNLL to take the 9/10-year old California Division II crown. PNLL bounced back in 2011 to take the 10/11-
Cambridge saved the day, stinging a line drive ground ball that the second baseman could not handle, scoring both the tying and winning runs, and ending the game with a final score of 8-7. This sent both teams to the winner-take-all “what if” game the next day. In the final game of the tournament SRLL got off to an early lead. Four different SRLL batters launched solo home runs, giving SRLL a 4-0 lead. PNLL wouldn’t get on the scoreboard until the bottom of the third, when an RBI single closed the gap to 4-1. In the top of the fourth, SRLL responded as Ryan Cole cracked a three-run home run that bounced off the top of the fence and over, increasing SRLL’s lead to 7-1. An RBI fielder’s choice then knocked in another runner who had reached on a line drive double of the fence in right, making the score 8-1 in favor of SRLL. In the bottom of the fifth, PNLL began mounting their improbable comeback. It started as Chase Tomei bombed a two-run home run over the centerfielder fence, and the next batter, Porter Slate, went back-to-
ten minutes prior. The subject was gone by the time we arrived. He was described as a Hispanic male, 5’08” tall, wearing a green shirt with a number on the back. Officer Stone investigated. CSO Aguirre responded to a report of a residential burglary on the 4000 block of Caribbean Common. The burglary occurred sometime between July 13 – 19th and the homeowner waited a couple of days before reporting it. Loss was a large television, camera, computer and other small electronic items. At 5:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to investigate a robbery that occurred on July 18th. The victim was approached by two male suspects at the Hub near Citi Bank. One suspect pointed a gun at him and made him withdraw a substantial amount of money. The suspect forced the victim to drive to another location and made him remove more money. Officer Layfield is the investigating Officer in this case. At approximately 6:15 p.m., CSO Escamilla responded to a home on Beard Road that was burglarized for the second time in the last two weeks. It appears the same suspects may have returned. The burglary occurred sometime between Saturday, July 14th
and Monday at 2:45 p.m. Loss is boxes, electronics, clothing and artwork. At approximately 10:55 p.m. Officer Taylor made a stop at Motel 6 North and learned that the vehicle is a stolen Hyundai out of Hayward. While Officer Taylor was waiting for cover units, the vehicle fled and was pursued. The pursuit ended n/b 880 when it terminated. The vehicle was last seen exiting the freeway near SR 92. But wait there’s more… at 2:53 a.m., Officer Blass drove through the Motel 6 lot and noticed a male and female walking away from a similar vehicle. Plate came back to a Ford, but it was on our Hyundai from earlier. The couple returned to the car and were taken into custody without incident. Positive ID on the adult male as the driver and the female adult is also arrested. At 6:50 p.m., CSO Allen responded to a burglary on the 38000 block of Stenhammer Drive. The burglary occurred sometime over the last four days. A witness saw a light blue pick up truck pull out of the driveway over the weekend, but nothing further. Suspects removed an air conditioning unit from a window and entered the home. A TV, laptop and jewelry were taken. At approximately 9:04 p.m., offi-
back with another home run, decreasing the deficit to 8-4. PNLL scored two more after an RBI single and bases loaded walk, and then Tomei smacked a two-run bases loaded double for his second hit and fourth RBI of the inning, tying the game at 8-8 going into the sixth. In the top of the sixth, with two outs and runners on second and third, SRLL’s Ben Wooldridge slapped a ground ball in the hole between third and short, knocking in both runs and giving SRLL a 10-8 advantage. Then Matt Jew lined a single past the diving second baseman, scoring Wooldridge and setting the score at 11-8. SRLL entered the bottom of the sixth with a three-run lead; PNLL found themselves once again with their backs up against the wall. To lead off the bottom of the sixth, Logan Douglas came up with a single and a double to start the inning. A fielder’s choice knocked in the runner from third, and made the score 11-9. The next batter, Kempton Brandis then demolished a tworun home run, dramatically tying the game at 11-11. Three straight hits from PNLL then loaded the bases with one out. Needing only a base hit to win the game, the next batter then chopped a ground ball to the third baseman Zach Chalmers, who stepped on third and threw to first for a clutch inning-ending double play, sending the game into extra innings. With a year’s worth of drama already packed into this one game, the game entered the seventh inning with the Northern California championship on the line. Dylan Moore pitched for PNLL and retired the first three batters he saw, putting the outcome in the hands of the PNLL sluggers. With one out, Douglas got on base with his fourth single of the game. He moved to second on a wild pitch, and Marzo moved him to third on another single. Then Bradley Smith smashed a single over the shortstop, scoring Douglas and capturing the crown for PNLL in a game for the ages. After a nail-biting, offensive-powered tournament that included 13 games and 50 home runs, Petaluma National Little League emerged as champions and will head to San Bernardino representing Team NorCal in the Western Regionals.
cers were dispatched to Tupelo Street to investigate a robbery. The victim, a 73-year-old female, was walking in the area of Tupelo and Eucalyptus (Ardenwood neighborhood) at about 5:35 p.m., when she was approached by a suspect. The suspect ripped a gold chain from her neck and fled the area. The suspect is described as a 20-25 year old black adult male, 5’10” with a medium build. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt and black jeans. This case is investigated by Officer Kindorf. July 25 FBI notified Fremont PD that the white powder mailed to us earlier in the week is non-toxic. Nothing further; investigation ongoing. At 12:50 p.m., FPD Officers responded to a report of a robbery in front of American High School. The victim, a 14-year-old, was walking in the area when he was approached by suspect #1 who exited a vehicle. Suspect #1 asked to use the victim's phone, then pushed the victim to the ground, punched him and took the phone. Suspect #1 fled south on Fremont Boulevard in the suspect vehicle, driven by suspect #2. Descriptions: Suspect #1- black male adult, 5'9", 190, slight chubby build, short black hair, red and plaid shirt,
dark jeans. Suspect #2- black male adult, possible dreadlocks, black hat, and black shirt. Suspect vehicle described as a gold 4-door sedan. At 2:35 p.m., Fremont PD and Fremont Fire are called to Kohls to investigate a baby crying in the back seat of a vehicle. A 33-year-old adult female left her 9 month-old baby locked in her car for about 35 minutes while she shopped inside Kohls. Citizens called it in. The mother had returned to the car and opened it up by the time we arrived. The baby is okay and is released to a family member at the scene. The mother was arrested for child endangerment. At 10:39 p.m., officers were dispatched to a strong-arm robbery (purse snatch attempt) that occurred at Archstone (3900 block of Civic Center). The suspect is described as a white male adult, possibly transient, 40’s, 5’5” with a scraggly beard and hair. Officer Leopardi handled the case. At 11:40 p.m., Officer Rodriguez was detailed to suspicious subjects checking out vehicles with flashlights in the Camden Village Apartments. The subjects were gone but the vehicle they were associated with was still present and warm. It was a stolen vehicle from Hayward BART. Officers recovered the vehicle.

Civility
WILLIAM MARSHAK
conclusions, the requirement of civil discourse can and should be maintained. Violent behavior and/or personal attacks that reflect dissatisfaction, disagreement or emotion without productive strategies are bound to elicit negative and, in some cases, equally violent responses. A strong, consistent message can be effective but unsubstantiated personal denigration severely reduces any chance for success. Where criticism is earned, it should be delivered but civil behavior should remain as a residue of any discourse.
ur lives are filled with contradictions. Doing the “right thing” is not always a clear choice or supported by incontrovertible evidence. However, decisions are a part of our existence and avoidance is impossible. There is one standard, however, that can be an aspiration of every person in private or public life… civility. Often referred to as “common courtesy” or the “Golden Rule,” it has universal appeal and can withstand even significant disagreement.
A few of us are asked through professional obligations to attend a plethora of public meetings. Sometimes agendas are routine and mundane but there are times when highly emotional and controversial topics arise. Presentations and discussions can be sensitive and even disturbing, but I find that the most successful approach is one that reflects solid character and well-researched information and argument. Strident and unfounded personal attacks do not engender respect or convince; instead, this type of behavior simply hardens resistance, causing adverse reactions and a sense of embarrassment. In our democracy, the path to change is effected by moving a minority position into the embrace of an active majority.
Statesmen throughout the ages have realized the potential of civil behavior, especially between those at opposite ends of the political or social spectrum. Unfortunately, our society has become so polarized – including media outlets and blogs - that rational discussion and discourse often fall victim to passionate and, unfortunately, vile behavior. Even if logical arguments lead to a variety of
At some council meetings, a few individuals attend with an emotional and vitriolic agenda. However valid their argument, the method of delivery can border on or be outright offensive and may simply attract attention without inviting additional adherents. Personal attacks on councilmembers without cause or factual basis is uncalled for and should be subject to judicious use of enforcement

measures. Civil disobedience is recognized for its powerful impact on existing systems that are unjust and cannot be morally obeyed but when violently demonizing and demeaning those who peacefully disagree, the spirit and doctrine of this philosophy is perverted. The status quo does not yield easily to change and during my lifetime, violence has been a constant reminder of our tenuous position on the precipice of a lawful and just society. Our culture allows reasonable methods of peaceful discourse and attempts at resolution and application of common sense prior to escalation. If our system is distorted beyond repair, radical means may be necessary, but not without significant cause. Examples such as the Civil Rights movement abound but cautionary tales are woven into our history as well. Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin perfected the technique of personal attack and intimidation without foundation using Communist scare tactics during the 1950s. Hopefully, those who would practice such tactics are summarily revealed and rejected by our society. Benjamin Franklin, Founding father of the United States, is quoted, “Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none.” I think he made a good point although I hope to have more than one friend.

California’s impending teacher shortage SUBMITTED BY AMANDA RUCKER In just a few short years, thousands of California’s public school students will be at risk of not having a qualified teacher in their classroom. According to research recently released by WestEd, nearly 40 percent of California educators are over the age of 50 and on track for retirement. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing has reported that the number of new teachers continues to fall, with a decline of 23,400 teaching credentials in the past five years. Teacher morale has hit a low point: according to the 28th annual MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, less than half of teachers are “very satisfied” with their jobs, the lowest it’s been in more than two decades.
As these factors start to collide, our state will soon be forced to cope with the aftermath of this perfect storm, which will result in a teacher shortage. California needs to recognize that it will soon be in desperate need of effective, committed individuals who can transition into the classroom. The California Teacher Corps, the organization which represents California’s nearly 70 alternative route to certification programs, is committed to ensuring that students across the state have a highly-qualified and committed teacher at the head of the classroom. Over 55,000 teachers were recruited and placed by the California Teacher Corps over the last seven years. Retrained 1,500 laid-off general education teachers and shifted them into special education teaching positions. Last year, 1,300 math and science teachers
were recruited and placed into the classroom, providing nearly half of California’s new math teachers in recent years. Over 50 percent of our programs directly serve rural, high-need schools. The Teacher Corps is committed to placing 100,000 highly-qualified teachers in California’s communities by 2020 and have made it a priority to fight the impending teacher shortage. With more than 70 percent of Teacher Corps teachers still on the job after five years, our teachers are dedicated to making a difference in the classroom. The California Teacher Corps is a nonprofit organization established in 2009 with the goal of placing 100,000 highly-qualified teachers in California’s communities by 2020.

VTA to receive $3.75M in federal funding SUBMITTED BY BRANDI CHILDRESS The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is the recipient of a $3.75M grant that will boost the ongoing effort to replace aging buses with more fuel-efficient vehicles. This is the second award of federal funding to VTA in less than a year. In October 2011, VTA received notice of $3.64M to help replace buses that have reached their useful life span. The federal funding announcement made by Deputy Administrator Therese McMillan of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) ist good news for more than 255 public transportation projects in urban, suburban and rural areas. The grants are made available through the FTA’s fiscal year 2012 Alternatives Analysis, Bus Livability and State of Good Repair Programs. The grant selection process was highly competitive and FTA reviewed 836 project applications from transit providers across the country, representing $4 billion in funding requests for a $787M pot of money. "This is welcome news for the more than 33 million riders, who use VTA buses each year, and will benefit
from the added capacity and service these new buses will bring," said Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren. As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Congressman Mike Honda has strongly supported VTA's transition to lower-emission, fuel-efficient buses, including securing nearly $2M in direct federal dollars. "Low-emission vehicles are a critical part of the future of public transportation and Silicon Valley is leading the way," said Congressman Honda. In 2010, a $53.4M American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant and $5.3M in Prop 1B funding facilitated the purchase of 90 diesel-electric hybrid buses. The environmentally-friendly buses were manufactured by Gillig in Hayward, contributing to a boost in the local economy by providing jobs at a time when unemployment rates were at its highest. The new hybrid buses are saving VTA more than 25 percent in fuel savings and reducing operating and maintenance costs. New hybrid technology also contributes to cleaner air in Silicon Valley by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 15 percent. For more information, visit www.VTA.org

County requires drug makers to pay costs for pick-up SUBMITTED BY LAURA LLOYD-JENKINS The Alameda County Board of Supervisors passed a new policy on July 24, the first in the country, requiring drug companies to pay for collecting and disposing of leftover drugs they manufacture. The unanimous vote positions the County as a national leader for its producer responsibility approach on addressing the problem of what residents should do with their unused and expired medications. “I am proud that we’ve found a more sustainable policy solution that promotes good will and corporate social responsibility,” said Supervisor Nate Miley, President of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. “The community’s growing demand for more permanent and convenient medication disposal sites goes far beyond what the County can fund and operate on its own.” Currently, there are 28 med collection sites throughout Alameda County, which dispose of discarded medications at a cost of $40,000 per year. The collection sites are operated by 10 different agencies and labor is donated by many participating agencies such as East Bay Municipal Utility District, Union Sanitary District and the City of San Leandro. Of the annual $186 million in profits generated by drug companies in Alameda County, officials say the projected cost of a comprehensive program producer-funded program would be about 1 cent for every $33 of pharmaceuticals sold in the County. Alameda County has become the first local government in the country to enact a policy mandating pharmaceutical companies design, operate and fund a collection program. The effort has attracted wide support from a variety of cities and agencies throughout the Bay Area and across the country struggling with the same issue. The scarcity of medication collection sites has led residents to stockpile drugs in their homes, throw medications in the trash or flush them down the toilet – all of which have public health, safety and environmental risks. The Safe Drug Disposal Ordinance is based on an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy framework, adopted by CalRecycle in 2008, which places primary responsibility on minimizing the environmental, health and public safety impact on whoever produces a product. According to Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste Programs about 1.5 million of the county’s residents have as much as 681 tons of unwanted drugs stockpiled in medicine cabinets. Poisoning is also the fastest rising cause of accidental death among older adults in the county particularly from prescription and illicit drugs.

unifying the world’s nations and its people. Of course, the Olympics are not and have never been immune, or detached from broader social and political issues. In her presentation, Professor Liberti will explore the history of the Olympics intersecting with social issues, looking specifically at the 1960s. As the Civil Rights Movement grew in intensity over the decade, African Americans fought for racial equality and justice off the athletic fields of play as well as on them. This may be best illustrated through the actions of two local student-athletes, San Jose State’s, John Carlos and Tommie Smith. Their raised black glove salute on the medal stand, in protest of racial injustice, at the 1968 Games drew praise from some and severe condemnation from others. Many were especially angry that these athletes marred the Olympics by bringing
civil rights issues into the Olympic arena. For Smith, Carlos, and many others, however, the Olympics were seen as the place most suited for political protest. On the faculty since 1998, Professor Liberti has taught a range of courses on sport and culture. Her primary research interest centers on 20th century women's sport history, specifically the experiences of African American women. She is currently co-authoring a book entitled, Re(presenting) Wilma Rudolph, which explores the ways in which the 1960 triple gold medalist at the Rome Olympics has been represented and remembered over the past half-century. In addition to her teaching and research activities, Liberti also directs the Center for Sport and Social Justice on campus. The Hayward Area Historical Society (HAHS) preserves the diverse history of the
Hayward, Castro Valley, and San Lorenzo area. Through educational programs, interpretive exhibitions, and the preservation of historic sites and artifacts, HAHS shows the relevance of events that happened in the past to our community today.

Chris Herzog (l) and Jenel Lopez (r), named Male and Female Athletes of the Year.
SUBMITTED BY MARTY VALDEZ Jenel Lopez (women’s swimming) and Chris Herzog (men’s golf ) were named Female and Male Athletes of the Year at the 2011-12 Cal State East Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Banquet in June. Lopez, a junior college transfer from Cerritos JC, consistently ranked in the top 30 in Division II for the 50, 100, and 200 Free Style events. She went on to break school records in the 50, 100, and 200 events, as well as anchoring four schoolrecord setting relays. Lopez achieved three NCAA “B” cuts during the 2011-12 Season and was the Pioneers’ top scorer at the Pacific Coast Swimming Conference Championships. Herzog, a JC transfer from Butte College, posted a scoring
average of 74.48 during the regular season and led the Pioneers to their first-ever NCAA Regional appearance. Herzog played in nine tournaments, compiling one win, four-top 10 finishes and seven top-20 performances. His win at the Pioneer Shootout was the first individual victory in team history which led him to CCAA Player of the Week honors on March 12. Women’s volleyball player Morgan Hirzel received the “Pioneer Spirit Award”. Women’s soccer player Tenaya Davis and Herzog were the recipients of the CCAA Dr. Hal Charnofsky Scholar Athlete Award. The award is given to CCAA studentathletes who excel on the playing field and in the classroom. Post-season honors were handed out to 28 Pioneer student-athletes, while eight athletes earned conference player of the week recognition.

Tips to prevent child abuse SUBMITTED BY GINNY GRIMSLEY Instances of child abuse increase during the summer, with some shelters and child advocacy centers actually doubling their caseloads, according to anecdotal reports. While these tragedies include everything from neglect to beatings, child advocate and author Michelle Bellon says parents and caregivers should be especially alert to one of the most easily hidden and underreported crimes: child sexual abuse. “Children may be less supervised during the summer, or they may be in the care of extended family members so their parents can save money on child care,” says Bellon. “Both situations put children at risk; the former for obvious reasons and the latter because 90 percent of child sexual abuse victims know the offender.” Bellon adds, “Child predators are terrorists. Like the terrorists we deploy armies to battle overseas, they prey on innocents and subject them to physical and emo-
tional torture. The consequences can be devastating and lifelong, including posttraumatic stress disorder and separation anxiety, according to the American Psychological Association reports.” To keep children safe this summer, Bellon shares several guidelines from a number of sources, including the Centers for Disease Control. When choosing a summer program, ask about employee (and volunteer) screening and how interactions are monitored. A criminal background check is not sufficient to ferret out sexual abusers, since many have never been charged or convicted. Instead the program should look for warning signs in written applications and interviews. For instance, some predator adults spend all of their time with children and have no significant adult relationships. Policies on interactions between adults and children should include examples of appropriate and inappropriate conduct, and definitive steps for both
monitoring and addressing concerns and complaints. Ask about the training. Staff and even temporary volunteers should undergo training to recognize signs of sexual abuse and to learn when it’s appropriate to report concerns. There should be a designated person to handle reports. Training should be required for staff and volunteers who come on board midway through the summer. Policies should include procedures for handling not just potential abuse, but also violations of the code of conduct for interactions. Ask about interactions between older and younger children. Some programs allow older children to serve as “junior counselors” or activity assistants. Ask about the guidelines for these situations, including whether and how long children may be unsupervised by an adult. Make sure children understand “personal boundaries.” Teach children the importance of recognizing and respecting the invisible
barriers that separate them from other people. They should be able to recognize their comfort zone – and that of others – and know that they can and should speak up about setting limits! Start at home by respecting a child’s right to say “no” to physical contact, such as tickling and hugs. Never force a child to kiss a relative. Recognize signs of a problem. Children often won’t or can’t tell you what’s happening, but there are signs to watch for, including changes in behavior such as withdrawal or unprovoked crying, night terrors, bedwetting, eating problems, unexplained injuries, suddenly avoiding a particular person, and unusual interest in or knowledge of sexual matters. Michelle Bellon earned her associate degree in nursing, and is the author of four novels, including “The Complexity of a Soldier,” which deals with the issue of child sexual abuse.

SUBMITTED BY AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION® With both First Daughters, Malia and Sasha, at overnight camp for a month this summer, President and Mrs. Obama join the millions of American parents who annually choose a summer camp experience for their children, even if it means being a little kidsick while the kids are away from home. The nonprofit American Camp Association® (ACA) supports all parents who recognize the value of the camp experience with research, resources, and helpful information about preparing for camp at its family-focused Web site, www.CampParents.org. Benefits of camp include building life skills that can help children succeed in the workplace and as productive adults, while research by ACA shows that children participating in camp life and activities learn and practice skills such as collaboration, communication, problem-solving, conflict-resolution, leadership, teamwork, independence, and resiliency. “Camp has been essential to the education of the whole child for 152 years,” says Peg Smith, CEO of the American Camp Association. According to ACA’s Youth Development Outcomes study, conducted with over 5,000 families with children in more than eighty ACA-accredited camps, in conjunction with Philliber Research Associates and with generous support from Lilly Endowment Inc., children also learn how to make and reinforce human connections, which is particularly important in the Digital Age, when kids are more likely to make friends electronically. Ninety-six percent of campers said that camp helped them make new friends. Ninety-two percent of campers reported that camp helped them feel good about themselves. Correspondingly, parents reported that children gained self-confidence at camp (70 percent) and continued to stay in contact with camp friends (69 percent). Other findings from recent camp research include that youth showed increases in social acceptance, connectedness, responsibility, confidence, empowerment, citizenship, and nature stewardship, as well as engaged in physical activity at much higher levels while at camp than their non-camp peers. “The Obamas decision to send Malia to camp again, and to send Sasha to camp for the first time, sends a very positive message to parents,” says Smith. “Camp is a safe and supportive environment where children can develop authentic relationships, unplug from technology, connect with nature, and participate in human-powered activities. Camp allows children to relax and enjoy just being kids. There is a camp experience for every child, whether they live in the White House or anywhere in America. More than 10 million children will attend camp this summer, and the ACA community of more than 9,000 members hopes that all parents will be inspired to learn more about camp and give their children the gift of camp.” The wide range of available camp experiences offers something for every family and every budget. Using ACA’s Find a Camp search engine at www.CampParents.org, families can search camps by geography, gender, session length, tuition, traditional or special interest, special needs, and more. Parents can also find contact information for ACA member camps and suggested questions to ask camp directors; ACA recommends that parents always contact camp directors first to make sure the camp is a good fit for their child.

Kaiser Permanente helps community clinics SUBMITTED BY JESSIE MANGALIMAN Thousands of low-income patients across the Bay Area and northern California will get better access to community and public resources such as food banks, job training programs, shelters for the homeless and victims of domestic violence, thanks to new Kaiser Permanente grants to community clinics totaling $666,000. The Kaiser Permanente grants to 11 community clinics – each grant is $60,000 - will enable the clinics to screen, and help enroll patients for public benefit programs such as CalFresh/SNAP food stamps, Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. “Kaiser Permanente is committed to keeping people healthy—and health means much more than just health care,” said Dr. David Shearn, director of Physician Education and Development and Community Benefit physician liaison for Kaiser Permanente Northern California. In Fremont, Newark and Union City, the Tri-City Health Center will use the grant to help Tri-City’s pregnant population gain better access to community resources. “Tri-City Health Center recognizes that health does not exist in a vacuum and as a community clinic we offer much more than health care services,” said Pam Kitagawa, manager of Teen and Women’s Programs at Tri-City Health Center in Fremont. The full list of recipients of the $60,000, one-year grants: • Curry Senior Center (San Francisco) • North East Medical Services (San Francisco, Daly City, San Jose) • Ravenswood Family Health Center (San Mateo County) • Gardner Family Health Network (San Jose, Santa Clara, Gilroy) • La Clinica de la Raza (Alameda, Contra Costa County, and Solano Counties) • LifeLong Medical Care (Alameda County) • Tri-City Health Center (Fremont, Newark, Union City) • Petaluma Health Center (Petaluma area) • Midtown Medical Center for Children and Families (Sacramento) • Sacramento Native American Health Center (Sacramento area) • United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley (San Joaquin Valley) For more information, go to: kp.org/newscenter.

AP WIRE SERVICE BANGOR TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP), A baby squirrel is finding a home of sorts alongside a cat and her kittens in Michigan. Eight-year-old Bailee Schultz heard the squirrel whimpering a few weeks ago in a wooded area of his grandparents' property in Bay County's Bangor Township. Stephanie Box tells MLive.com (http://bit.ly/IX2Oqj ) Bailee brought her to the squirrel, which was under a nest. Box says she placed the squirrel they call Bushytail with her cat, Oreo, who recently gave birth to five kittens. The next day, Box says the squirrel was nursing side-by-side with the kittens. They've also seen Oreo lick Bushytail. Box says Oreo may not have fully accepted the squirrel, however, since she once moved the kittens but left Bushytail behind. They want Oreo to keep an eye on Bushytail for a while.
SR 84 Expressway project breaks ground SUBMITTED BY TESS LENGYEL Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC), with partners the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Livermore, broke ground on the northern section of the State Route 84 Expressway project. The expressway is one in a series of projects to improve the SR-84 corridor between Interstate 580 in Livermore and Interstate 680 in Sunol. Combined, the projects reduce traffic congestion, improve safety and reduce air pollution. The SR-84 Expressway project will widen a 4.6-mile section of SR-84 (also known as Isabel Avenue) between Ruby Hill Drive and Stanley Boulevard from two lanes to four lanes, and to six lanes between Stanley Boulevard and Jack London Boulevard. With the upgrade, SR-84 will reach expressway standards of 55mile-per-hour drive speeds. "Route 84 is a critical mobility investment in the TriValley", said Mark Green, Mayor of Union City and Chair of the Alameda CTC. "This is a project that has been planned and implemented in stages to deliver congestion relief, improved access and to help support community vitality. Our Measure B transportation sales tax revenue in Alameda County has been a major funding source for each stage of development. If voters approve the Alameda County 2012 Transportation Expenditure Plan in November 2012, we will have funding to close the final gaps on this project with a new interchange at Route 84 and I-680. The combination of local transportation dollars and state bond funds, both approved by voters, is what is delivering this important project in the Tri-Valley." The project is also integral to the on-going transformation and beautification of Livermore by shifting through-traffic away from the re-designed, pedestrianfriendly city center. Pedestrians and bicyclists will also derive safety benefits – the multi-use trail between Jack London Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue will be improved, closing a gap and providing a continuous 2.5-mile route for bicyclists and pedestrians. After the SR-84 Expressway project is completed in 2016, there will be one planned project left: a gap closure project to widen SR-84 from two to four lanes between Pigeon Pass and I-680 in Pleasanton and Sunol, including the construction of a new I-680/SR-84 Interchange. This project is in the planning stage and is contingent on obtaining adequate funding. This project is included in Alameda CTC's new Transportation Expenditure Plan, which will be funded by future Alameda County transportation sales tax revenue, if approved by voters in November 2012.

Attorney General announces privacy enforcement and protection unit SUBMITTED BY THE OFFICE OF THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Attorney General Kamala D. Harris has announced the creation of the Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit in the Department of Justice which will focus on protecting consumer and individual privacy through civil prosecution of state and federal privacy laws. “In the 21st Century, we share and store our most sensitive personal information on phones, computers and even the cloud. It is imperative that consumers are empowered to understand how these innovations use personal information so that we can all make informed choices about what information we want to share,” said Harris. “The Privacy Unit will police the privacy practices of individuals and organizations to hold accountable those who misuse technology to invade the privacy of others.” The California Constitution guarantees all people the inalienable

right to privacy. The Privacy Unit will protect this constitutionally-guaranteed right by prosecuting violations of California and federal privacy laws. The Privacy Unit centralizes existing Justice Department efforts to protect privacy, including enforcing privacy laws, educating consumers and forging partnerships with industry and innovators. The Privacy Unit’s mission to enforce and protect privacy is broad. It will enforce laws regulating the collection, retention, disclosure and destruction of private or sensitive information by individuals, organizations and the government. This includes laws relating to cyber privacy, health privacy, financial privacy, identity theft, government records and data breaches. By combining the various privacy functions of the Department of Justice into a single enforcement and education unit with privacy expertise, California will be better equipped to enforce state privacy laws and protect citizens’ privacy rights. The Privacy Unit will reside in the eCrime Unit and will be staffed by Department of Justice employees, including six prosecutors who will concentrate on privacy enforcement. Joanne McNabb, formerly of the California Office of Privacy Protection, will serve as the Director of Privacy Education and Policy, and will oversee the Privacy Unit’s education and outreach efforts. Protecting the privacy of Californians is one of Harris’ top priorities. The creation of the Privacy
Enforcement and Protection Unit follows the forging of an industry agreement among the nation’s leading mobile and social application platforms to improve privacy protections for consumers around the globe who use apps on their smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. The platform companies who signed on to that agreement Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Facebook, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Microsoft Corporation and Research in Motion Limited -agreed to privacy principles designed to bring the industry in line with California law requiring apps that collect personal information to post a privacy policy and to promote transparency in the privacy practices of apps. Harris established the eCrime Unit in 2011 to prosecute identity theft, data intrusions, and crimes involving the use of technology. The eCrime Unit provides investigative and prosecutorial support to the five California regional high-tech task forces funded through the High Technology Theft Apprehension and Prosecution Trust Fund Program and provides coordination for out-of-state technologycrime investigation requests. The eCrime Unit also develops and provides training for law enforcement officers, prosecutors, the judiciary and the public on cyber safety and the importance of strong information-security practices.

hile most high school students are lounging around the pool, playing video games, or maybe working at the nearest mall, two Fremont students are spending
their off-time doing research at UC Davis. Ivonnie Shih and Leena Yin, both seniors at Mission San Jose High School, are among a select group of students attending the UC Davis Young Scholars Program this summer. The advanced science program, offered by the School of Education, introduces up to 43 high-achieving high school students to the world of

original research in the biological and natural sciences. Participants work one-onone with research faculty in state-of-the art laboratories for six weeks. Each student works on an individual project and prepares a professional-level research paper and presentation about his or her work. “Students work under the direction of real-world researchers,” said Rick Pomeroy, program director and teacher educator in the School of Education at UC Davis. “In fact, these high school students are engaged in research that most college undergraduates don’t have an opportunity to do.” Shih is investigating how a particular chemical spray causes cracks in grape skin and whether calcium can decrease grape cracking without interfering with color development. Yin is studying invasive plant species such as the wild mustard so they can be better managed and controlled. The program, which kicked off this year on June 24, immerses students in the entire college experience. During the first two weeks of the program, participants attend lectures focusing on recent developments in biology
Leena Yin
and natural sciences in the mornings and conduct lab science every afternoon. During the last four weeks of the program, students work full-time in their labs. Students live in campus dormitories and take field trips every weekend. To qualify for the program, students must have a strong academic record, have taken biology and two years of college preparatory mathematics, and recommendations from teachers. In addition, applicants must write a personal essay. Tuition is $4,500,
with tuition assistance available based on need. “All of the participants are highly qualified academically, take honors or advanced placement courses in high school, and have high GPAs,” said Pomeroy. “Most importantly, though, they have all demonstrated a desire and ability to conduct original scientific research and have the potential to contribute significantly to the field.” The program ends August 4.

Local resident participates in Olympic Torch Relay BY MAHIMA GOEL
T
he summer of 2012 has been one big celebration after another for Great Britain - Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrating 60 years on the throne, tennis star Andy Murray’s rise to the Wimbledon final, and the highly anticipated London Summer Olympics. Amid all this excitement, Fremont resident Kumar B. Goel, had his moment to shine in the city of Andover on July 11 as one of 8,000 Olympic torchbearers. Originally lit to honor the Greek god Zeus, the torch was brought to the Olympics as a symbol of divine power. The Greeks believed fire had been stolen from the gods by an trickster named Prometheus in order to make their civilization prosper. To respect these ancient origins of the flame, every torch relay is started in Olympia, Greece then travels around the world to its final destination in the country where the Olympic Games are being held. In 2012, however, for the first time in the history of the games, instead of traveling its usual course around the world, the torch traveled around the United Kingdom (U.K.), from city to city, to acknowledge the achievements of their country’s people. Being among those chosen in such a historic moment, Goel says, “It’s an incredible honor and privilege to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Honored by the Olympics’ supporting sponsor VISA Inc. as the representative from their Technology Department to carry the
torch, Goel says he was lucky to make it through their internal selection process. Only three percent of the torchbearers chosen were from outside the U.K. population and only 12 people from VISA Inc. out of their millions of employees worldwide were named official torchbearers. Although Goel was asked to make adjustments during the process, he says the result was absolutely worth it. “Originally, my run was in Winchester, which used to be the capital of Great Britain in 1519 and remains one of England’s most historic cities,” Goel says. “Later, it got changed to the city of Andover—around 20-25 miles from Winchester and there, we had a total of 21 torchbearers on day 54 of the relay.” The
torchbearers, as Goel explained, were called to meet at a collection point in Andover College where they were all placed in a briefing room approximately three hours before the run. They got to meet their Coca Cola, Samsung, and Lloyds TSB Banking sponsors and were told of how the sponsor convoys, along with the BBC media truck, would be in front of them and cheering them on as they received the flame from the previous runner and carried it on. When the torchbearers’ bus finally came, it seemed as if people had been sitting there for hours—teenage boys wearing the British flag, preschool girls carrying paper torches that they had made at school, and middle-aged mothers spread-
ing out a picnic cloth for their family along the side of the road. Although pleasantly surprised by Andover’s cheerleading squad and community veterans’ band, the torchbearers’ bus had its own charm. “I remember amongst all the paparazzi and children coming to the torch, one little girl said to me ‘If you show me your torch, I’ll show you mine,’ and took out her handcrafted paper torch. It was the sweetest thing,” Goel recalls. “One of her friends even tried poking her finger into the holes of the torch,” he laughed. “The streets were crowded with people trying to touch the torch or catch a glimpse of it— soldiers came out on tanks and women lined up in wheelchairs outside of the nursing home. The 350 yards and four minutes of my life just passed in a blur—I was the center of attraction everywhere I looked and it was so dizzying that I had to make sure my feet were on the floor so that I didn’t float away.” Although it seemed to end just as soon as it started, Goel recalls it all. “Security came in around 10-15 seconds after helping me light the next runner’s torch and took me back in the torchbearers’ pickup bus. I could see that people had emptied the streets in just a few minutes as I headed back to Andover College to meet my family.” Later, with the torch in his hands as a personal souvenir, he adds, “It feels as if the weight of history is upon me because I am carrying THE Olympic torch. Admittedly, it was a few 100 yards, but its memories will last a lifetime.”
