BY JULIE GRABOWSKI Every city is a composite of elements that contribute to its character; declarations made in landscapes, architecture, parks, roadways, and shopping areas, even lamp posts that light its streets. Often, its art makes a city unique. In Hayward, it catches the eye at almost every turn; driving down Jackson Street, going to the movies at Cinema Place, returning books at library drop boxes, looking out the window of a BART train, dropping a student continued on page 16

BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR Forty-five years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King, a Baptist preacher, civil rights leader, and advocate for non-violent protests was only 39 years old at the time of his death. Just the day before, on April 3, 1968, he gave his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, recalling Moses seeing the Promised Land, and foreshadowing that he might not make it there with his followers. “I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land,” said King. Born in Georgia 1929, King was a third generation minister. His father and grandfather had both been ministers at the Ebenezer Baptist church in Atlanta.

substitute venue and has since become an annual home for McCutcheon in Fremont. This tour marks the beginning of McCutcheon’s 40th anniversary in the music business, a career producing 30 albums, the most recent being “This Land: Woody Guthrie’s America” on Appalsongs Records. Released 100 years after Guthrie’s birth, “This Land” brings to together some old favorites and lesser-known gems with McCutcheon’s remarkable array of instruments and arrangements, plus celebrated musical guests like Willie Nelson, Tim O’Brien, Kathy Mattea, and Tommy Emmanuel. McCutcheon is a seven-time Grammy nominee noted for his amazing live performances. Always held on Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday, Saint James’ concert is one of McCutcheon’s most intimate. With a seating capacity of just over 250, no one sits more than 40

feet from McCutcheon, most within 25 feet. McCutcheon finds small venues desirable because he and his audience connect easily. Enjoy the songs and stories of this remarkable musician, self-accompanied on several instruments, including both six and 12-string guitar, fiddle, banjo, autoharp, piano, and hammer dulcimer. The audience is even invited to sing along. McCutcheon will be signing concertgoers’ CDs and sharing more stories with folks after the performance. He is also donating one dollar from the sale of each CD, DVD, or book to Friends of the Library. Suggested donation is $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Children under five are admitted free. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Abode Homewarming to end homelessness in our community.

Washington Hospital Doctor Urges Residents to Get a Flu Shot

nfluenza has officially reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced last week. Commonly known as the flu, the contagious disease has become widespread weeks earlier than normal in all but three states, one of which is California. “We are typically six to eight weeks behind the East Coast, so I would say the worst is yet to come,” said Dr. Dianne Martin, a member of the Washington Hospital medical staff who specializes in internal medicine and infectious disease. “Because we are behind the East Coast, there is still time to get your flu shot. A flu vaccination is the single best way to protect against the flu virus.” Washington Hospital is hosting two flu vaccination events this week on the first floor of the Washington West Building at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. The first one is scheduled for Thursday, January 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 4 to

Hand washing is one of the most effective means of preventing the spread of infectious disease.The best protection against the flu is to get a flu vaccination.Washington Hospital will be holding a flu vaccination event on Thursday, January 17 and Friday, January 18 at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West Building) in Fremont. All adults and children 3 years of age and older are welcome. Flu shots are $10 (cash or check only). To learn more about flu prevention, visit www.whhs.com/flu-shot

6 p.m. The other one will be held Friday, January 18, from 7 to 9 a.m. The cost is $10 and the vaccine is available to those who are 3 years old or older. The flu shot contains three seasonal flu viruses that cause your body to build up antibodies capable of fighting off those strains. The viruses are inacti-

vated or killed, so you can’t get the flu from a flu shot, according to the CDC. “It takes time for the antibodies to build up in your body,” Dr. Martin added. “So if you haven’t had your flu vaccination yet, you should get it as soon as possible. Anyone over the age of 6 months should get a flu shot.”

January 15, 2013

Flu vaccinations are also available at Washington Urgent Care. The clinic is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and no appointment is needed. “If you do get sick with the flu and need medical care, it may be best to get treated by your doctor, or go to urgent care if you don’t have a regular physician, rather than going to the emergency room,” Martin said. “If we catch the flu early on or if it becomes severe, antiviral medications like Tamiflu can be very effective at reducing the severity of the disease.” Flu Can be Deadly While most people who get the flu can care for themselves at home by getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of fluids, and taking over-the-counter medications to relieve symptoms, the flu can be deadly. This year’s flu strain seems to be more severe, making people sicker, according to Dr. Martin. Sometime’s it’s hard for people to know the difference between a common cold and the flu. With a cold, usual symptoms include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing. Coughs are hacking and productive and it’s unusual to have a fever, chills, and body aches. But with the flu, fever is usually present along with chills, headache and moderate-to-severe body aches and fatigue. Flu symptoms can come on fast, often within three to six hours. Coughs are normally dry and

unproductive and sore throats are less common. The flu is a contagious disease that is spread by droplets that enter the air when infected people talk, cough, or sneeze. These droplets can also end up on surfaces like doorknobs and keyboards. People can become infected by touching those surfaces and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. Martin said it’s important to wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading germs and keep hand sanitizers in your home, car, and at work. If you do get sick, be sure to cough in a tissue or in the crook of your arm to avoid spreading the germs with your hands. “Stay home when you are sick and keep your kids home from school,” she added. “Parents sometimes feel pressure to send their kids to school when they are sick or go to work themselves. But it’s really best to stay home. You need to rest so you can get well and you don’t want to get other people sick.” For more information about the flu, visit www.whhs.com/flushot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has good information at www.cdc.gov/flu.

Knee Injury Sidelines Fremont Student

hen Christina Martin heard her knee pop during a volleyball game, she knew it was a bad sign. The excruciating pain that followed confirmed her worst fears. The Irvington High School athlete had torn a ligament in her knee that required surgery

to repair and months of rehabilitation. “I was really scared,” Martin said. “All I could think about were my sports. I had a huge softball tournament the following weekend. I’m a three-sport athlete and I just wanted to know how fast I could get back in the game. Carmen was really my

main person. She helped me get back to my sports because she knew how important they are to me.” Carmen Charleston is a certified athletic trainer for Washington Hospital’s Sports Medicine Program. She is based at Irvington High School, where she evaluates, treats, and rehabilitates sports injuries sustained by student athletes, as well as helps educate them on the prevention of common injuries. “An athletic trainer is similar to a cross between a paramedic and a physical therapist,” Charleston explained. “I am trained in emergency medicine, so I can provide immediate care to injured athletes. I also work with athletes who are recovering from an injury so they can get back on the field.” The fact that sports are important to Martin is an understatement. She started playing softball at age 5. In fifth grade, she added basketball to her list of sports and then volleyball in seventh grade. Her first knee injury occurred in October 2011. Unfortunately, this October she suffered a similar fate; the ligament in her other knee was torn. She underwent a second surgery and now is working with Charleston to recover. Charleston was on-site when Martin’s first knee injury happened and was able to provide emergency care. Martin’s mother Carmen Charleston is a certified athletic trainer for Washington Hospital’s Sports Medicine Program. Based at Irvington High School, she evaluates, treats, and rehabilitates sports injuries sustained by student athletes, as well as helps educate them on the prevention of common injuries.

Washington Hospital AAA Screening Could Save Your Life If you have high blood pressure and are over age 60, you are at greater risk for developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm known as AAA. Often called the silent killer, an AAA can rupture, causing internal bleeding. The good news is a quick, painless, and free screening can detect the presence of this potentially deadly condition. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a weakened and bulging area in the lower part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood

A couple of minutes from your day may add years to your life. Washington Hospital is conducting a free abdominal aortic aneurysm screening on Saturday, January 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The quick, painless ultrasound test can detect the presence of this potentially deadly condition. Pre-registration is required. Call (800) 963-7070 to register.

to the body. The aorta goes from the heart to the center of the chest and abdomen. The aorta is the body’s main supplier of blood, so a ruptured AAA can cause life-threatThe AAA screening is conducted with an ultrasound of the abdomen, which uses sound waves that create a picture of the internal organs, Dr. Jain explained. The noninvasive test uses a clear, water-based conducting gel that is applied to the skin over the abdomen. This helps with the transmission of the sound waves. A handheld probe called a transducer is then moved over the abdomen. The procedure takes about 15 minutes. Don’t Wait If you are over age 60 and have any of the risk factors for developing an aortic aneurysm, you should consider getting the AAA screening, Dr. Mehigan said. While anyone can get this type of aneurysm, it is more common in men over the age of 60. Other risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and a positive family history. continued on page 11

Kim was also there because she coaches volleyball and softball at the high school. “Christina was in a lot of pain and it was Carmen who was able to calm her down,” Kim said. “She did an amazing job of refocusing her attention away from the injury.” The Road to Recovery The road to recovery the first time around was long and painful, although quicker than many had expected. Martin was playing softball by Memorial Day weekend. She credits her recovery to the work she did with Charleston. Both surgeries were performed by Dr. Russell Nord, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. He is the director of Washington Hospital’s Sports Medicine Program. “Christina tore the anterior cruciate ligament, which typically requires surgery to reconstruct, especially if you want to get back to sports that involve changing direction and pivoting like basketball,” Nord said. “The ACL was rebuilt by using the patellar tendon from her knee.” After Martin’s first surgery, she trained with Charleston three days a week and received physical therapy twice a week. The initial goal was to decrease the post-surgical swelling and pain, explained Charleston, who worked closely with Nord to determine which exercises were appropriate for Martin based on her progress. “At first it was mostly massage, cold therapy, and range-of-motion exercises,” continued on page 5

A touring folksinger for forty years McCutcheon’s energetic performance showscases his master multi-instrumentalism, his incisive song writing and his accomplished singing. He also sings the established songs of the folk community identifying himself with “the people” throughout his career. He champions people with little or no political voice, the homeless, immigrants, refugees and more. McCutcheon will donate one dollar from the sale of each CD, DVD or book sold at his concerts to Friends of the Library, a representative of which will attend the concert. The cause is education. Friends of the Library holds book sales, the proceeds of which go to buy books, equipment and children’s programs for the library.

she added. “We needed to ensure that the area was healing and that she had good range-of-motion before we could start muscle strengthening.” Charleston began introducing strengthening exercises after about a month. She tried to incorporate exercises that mirrored Martin’s sports. Staying Motivated “It helps to keep them motivated, particularly student athletes,” Charleston said. “If the exercises relate to their sport, it’s much easier to stick with it. They understand why they are doing it.” For example, Martin is a pitcher so Charleston had her practice going through her pitching mechanics, paying close attention to her lower body movements. “At first we practiced without a ball,” she explained. “Then when she had the right techniques down, we incorporated an actual softball. It’s a mat-

ter of slowing everything down and breaking up each movement into segments, making sure she is doing each segment properly so the body mechanics are correct.” Charleston said it’s important to analyze the body mechanics to help athletes prevent injuries. How they twist their bodies and plant their feet has a big influence on whether athletes become injured, she added. Now Martin is back training with Charleston after the recent injury to her right knee. Oddly, it occurred just four days after the one-year anniversary of the injury to her left knee. “This time around it’s been a little easier,” Martin said. “After the first surgery, I couldn’t even lift my leg, but this time I could. I knew some of the techniques that Carmen taught me. I’m hoping to be playing softball by May. I’m determined to work hard.”

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in sociology from Morehouse College, King attended Crozer Theological Seminary. He completed his Ph.D. at Boston University in 1955 at the age of 25. During this time he married the young singer Coretta Scott, and became a minister at a Baptist church in Alabama. Soon after this, King entered the public arena and became a civil rights activist and advocate for African Americans. Although slavery was abolished with the passing of the 13th amendment, this did not end racial inequality. “Jim Crow” laws were laws passed at the local level in the United States shortly after the Civil War, which remained in effect until the mid-1960s. Due to these laws, segregation was enforced in public places in the southern United States. It was illegal for African Americans to use the same entrances to facilities as whites, drink from the same drinking fountains, or sit in certain areas of restaurants or public transportation. Public schools were segregated as well. The civil rights movement brought about an end to publically sanctioned segregation. One pivotal event was the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1955, an African-American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white person. The local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), of which Parks and King were members, took notice of this protest and began to advocate for the laws to change. The highlight of King’s involvement in the civil rights movement is seen in the historic March on Washington in 1963. The March was a massive political rally in Washington, D.C., for the advancement of civil rights for African Americans. It was at this rally that King delivered his most famous speech, “I Have a Dream,” in which he envisioned a nation that fully realized equality for all its citizens. In response to the protests of the growing civil rights movement, the federal government passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the process of desegregation began. Shortly thereafter, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Sadly, this did not end the struggle for equality for African Americans. The movement itself was not fully united and more militant protest groups who felt more force was needed to bring about real change criticized King for his non-violent approach.

Though King’s life and career ended abruptly, his legacy lives on. His powerful rhetoric changed our nation and advanced the cause of racial equality in the United States, though King would likely see that there is still much to be done before true equality is achieved. In 1983, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day became a national holiday, meeting some resistance, but now celebrated nationwide since 2000. A Day of Service is one way that King is honored, with volunteers joining in community service projects across the nation. Each year, Newark’s Afro-American Cultural & Historical Society hosts an annual commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year the service was led by Reverend Garrett Yamada and held on Sunday, January 13 at the First Presbyterian Church in Newark. Program Facilitator Mrs. Jean Ficklin of AfroAmerican Cultural & Historical Society of the Tri-Cities opened the proceedings and introduced Presiding Official Mrs. Evelyn Hooker of Palma Ceia Baptist Church of Hayward, stating, “Rosa Parks rode, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. walked and President Barack Obama ran so our children can fly.” Sponsored by South Hayward Parish, a Martin Luther King, Jr. march and rally will be held on Monday, January 21. It starts at 9:30 a.m. at Hayward City Hall Plaza and features live music from a

variety of groups including a Tongan youth choir from First United Methodist Church of Hayward, recited quotes from some of King’s speeches, and a March of Witness. In celebration of Hayward’s diversity, participants are invited to carry the banner of their organization and wear national dress. There are many other events scheduled around the Bay Area on the holiday itself. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco will be hosting a full day of activities for all ages in honor of the 50th year of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Oakland has several events scheduled in honor of King from January 13 to 21. Opportunities for volunteers on the national Day of Service can be found at www.mlkchallenge.org.

Cold vs Flu SUBMITTED BY STACEY HILTON

Across the country and right in our area, folks are kicking off the New Year in bed – flat on their backs. We’ve been hit with a two punch - a vicious strain of the flu AND NOW, an increase in respiratory illnesses (such as RSV, sinus infections, ear infections, the common cold and bronchitis). Urgent care facilities like Doctors Express have been slammed with patients suffering from the flu or a respiratory illness. And in many cases people can’t tell the difference. “Even if people just have a cold, they will come in to see us because they fear it might be the flu. This is the most active start to a flu season in more than a decade and patients are starting to become more proactive because of it,” says Dr. Scott Burger, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Doctors Express. Patients can see our physicians during extended hours and on weekends which is providing critical relief for patients this flu season.” Cold vs. the Flu: Fever, runny nose, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches are symptoms SHARED by both the cold and flu. Here are some ways to help you tell the difference: The Cold *Symptoms tend to develop gradually Runny, stuffy nose Scratchy throat Sneezing Watery Eyes Mild fever (below 102 F) The Flu *Symptoms can appear suddenly, without warning Nausea Cough without phlegm Chills/Body aches Sweating Fever (above 102 F) – *But not everyone with the flu will develop a fever Lack of appetite Vomiting (more common in kids) Diarrhea (more common in kids) The number of states reporting flu-like activity is on the rise. In December, 41 states reported widespread flu activity; and health officials say the flu spreads easier in the dry, winter air. “It’s important for people to remember that viruses can live on non-porous surfaces (such as plastic and stainless steel) for up to 48 hours. And researchers say the average adult touches about 30 objects each minute,” says Dr. Burger. “That means all those high traffic areas in our homes and offices are harboring viruses that can make us sick. That’s why the two most important steps you can take to help prevent getting the flu are to wash or sanitize your hands (especially before you touch your mouth or eyes) AND to get the flu vaccination.” Research shows influenza virus frequently detected on these surfaces: Refrigerator handles Phones (yes, including that cell phone you carry around everywhere) TV remotes Microwave ovens and other kitchen surfaces Door handles and light switches Sources: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu.gov (Department of Health and Human Services), everydayHealth, 2007 study at the University of Arizona

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Santos Column The people behind your water: a year in review From passing a key ballot measure to approving a landmark plan to preserve habitat for endangered species, the past year has been a big one for the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The year started out routinely enough. In January 2012, new board chair, Director Linda J. LeZotte, delivered her State of the District address. Among her top priorities were illegal encampments, environmental stewardship, securing future funding for various community supported projects and fluoridation. All four proved to be hot topics for the district last year. Last May, the district held a special session on illegal encampments in our waterways and invited a panel of experts from several other government agencies and community organizations. We discussed the tremendous environmental impacts that encampments have on our waterways, yet acknowledged that there are no easy solutions to this growing problem. Respecting the challenging health and human services needs of the homeless who reside in our creeks, the board of directors recognized that regardless of whose jurisdiction these encampments are established in, this is a community wide problem with action and solutions required by multiple jurisdictions. The outcome—the water district board unanimously directed staff to develop a comprehensive plan to address these complex issues and maintained its commitment to working collaboratively with other government agencies and community organi-

zations to reduce illegal encampments along local creeks. In September of 2012, the board approved the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Conservation Plan. Ten years in the making, the plan is a groundbreaking effort to protect local endangered species habitats while streamlining the permitting process for public and private projects. Not only will the plan help local cities, agencies and businesses save time and money by consolidating the permit process, it provides a coordinated regional plan for conserving natural communities and endangered species. Once it is adopted by all of the local partner permittees and implemented, the plan will protect 18 endangered species found in the Guadalupe, Coyote and Uvas Llagas watersheds in Santa Clara County by creating a reserve area where habitat will be preserved for these species. The end of the year brought major funding to the water district in two ways. The first came in November with the passage of the district’s Measure B, a parcel tax funding the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection

Program. With the passage of this measure, the water district will be equipped to invest in the important water supply, flood protection and watershed stewardship needs of the county. We were encouraged that the voters of Santa Clara County clearly recognize the importance of the program’s projects. Voters overwhelmingly supported the measure, passing it with a 74 percent approval rate. The second funding source came in the support of fluoridation of our county’s water supply. This December, external funders pledged $2.4 million toward reimbursing the district for costs associated with building fluoridation facilities at the water district’s three potable water treatment plants. When it comes to our water supply, while 2012 may have started out as a very dry year, we’re happy to say it didn’t end that way. Things are looking wetter this winter and we’re optimistic that this rainy season will continue the trend that began in December.

There you can ask questions or provide feedback 24-7 through Access Valley Water, our online customer communications service.

Detectives arrest additional person related to Justice Afoa homicide SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD

house party in the area of Cedar Boulevard/Lake Boulevard. Police

On December 15, 2010, Justice Afoa, a 17 year old Newark Memorial High School student was stabbed and killed on Cedar Boulevard at Birch Street in Newark. Daniela Guzman, Rafael Tovar, and Daniel Howard were arrested and booked at Santa Rita Jail for murder with special circumstances of lying in wait and commission of murder in furtherance of a criminal street gang. On December 17, 2012, Newark Police Detectives made an additional arrest of subject Anthony Bernal, 22, of Newark, for an incident which occurred on October 30, 2010. On that date, Bernal assaulted Justice Afoa and a second person at a

Arrest leads to stolen bikes and parts SUBMITTED BY OFFICER ERA JENKINS, BART PD 57-year-old Richmond resident Marque Moore’s first mistake was to have a stolen bike in his possession; his second was to try to sell it back to its owner. Fortunately for the bike theft victim, BART Police Officers were on hand when Moore agreed to meet at BART’s Ashby Station. The owner of the bike confirmed that the bicycle Moore was trying to sell was actually stolen from a residential burglary in the City of San Francisco three months prior. When BART Police searched Moore’s residence, officers discovered more than 10 bicycles, 57 bicycle tires, 24 bicycle wheels, 26 bicycle wheels with tires, 21 bike seats, four bicycle frames, a gun and ammunition. BART Police Investigators are looking for the owners of the recovered items to identify and claim their property. BART Police booked Moore at Glen Dyer Jail in Oakland for two counts of possession of stolen property, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition and violation of probation. Once the recovered bicycles and/or parts are positively identified as stolen, additional charges will be sought through the District Attorney’s Office, and owners can be reunited with their property. BART has posted photographs of the recovered bicycles and frames at: http://www.bart.gov/about/police/recovered_bike s.aspx so theft victims have access to identify their stolen property. In order to claim their property, owners must provide either a case number from a theft report, or other proof it belongs to them. Examples of such proof would be a receipt/proof of purchase which shows the serial number, or other identifiable marks unique to the bicycle. If you recognize the bicycle, frame or other parts as yours telephone the BART Police Investigations Unit at (510) 464-7040.

hospital for treatment of severe stab wounds. Bernal has since been formally charged by the Alameda County District Attorney’s office with multiple felony crimes including Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Great Bodily Injury, Attempted carjacking, and Possession of Ammunition by a Convicted Felon, and faces a possible gang enhancement charge in the future. The investigation is continuing and police have not ruled out additional arrests. Any person with any information concerning these incidents can contact the non-emergency line at (510) 578-4237 and ask for the Detective Division. Information can also be left anonymously on the “silent witness” hotline at (510) 578-4965.

Bone fragment identification SUBMITTED BY SGT. ERIC KRIMM On October 11, 2012, Hayward Police Department (PD) took custody of a bone fragment recovered from a well in Linden, CA. An anthropologist at Chico State University evaluated the fragment as possibly that of a child, aged between 5- and 14-years old. Given the age range and the length of time the victim had been buried in the well, the bone fragment might possibly have come from Michaela Garecht who was abducted from the City of Hayward on November 19, 1988. The California Department of Justice Crime Lab in Richmond, CA, developed a mitochondrial DNA profile from the bone fragment that does not match the known profile of Michaela Garecht but that of a previously identified murder victim, unrelated to a Hayward PD investigation. The iden-

tity is being withheld pending notification of the victim’s family and the appropriate investigative agency. Hayward PD will retain custody of the remaining unidentified bones received on October 11, 2012 and will work with other law enforcement agencies to identify the remains. At this time, we do not believe these remaining bones to be that of Michaela Garecht, based on the anthropologist’s report previously obtained with the remains. We are aware of the continuing investigation and excavation of another well in the Linden area. However, there is nothing to suggest Michaela Garecht’s remains will be discovered there. The investigation into the abduction of Michaela Garecht is ongoing and Hayward PD will continue to pursue all viable leads. Please contact Inspector K. Atkins at (510) 293-7085 (office), (510) 293-7183 (fax) or kevin.atkins@hayward-ca.gov with any details that might help solve this case.

ou are probably wondering what the blacksmith shops of John Horner, Timothy Rix and Heman Crowell could possibly have in common. Yes, they are all blacksmith shops and they were located near each other, but how else could they be connected?

Corners in the 1867 business directory. They were also agents for the Buckeye Mower and Reaper and Perkins Wind Mills. Crowell invented and marketed steel laid cylinder teeth all over the West. He kept several men busy making the teeth in his shop and sold from 10 to 50,000

connected with the handwork required to construct and assemble the raw materials such as wood, canvas and rivets. The iron work was done in Heman Crowell’s shop next door. Items listed also give the name of the customers who ordered them. And here are the names we

John and Elizabeth Horner were the first Americans from the East Coast to settle at Mission San Jose and begin large scale farming operations. John and his brother, William, acquired more land, fenced out wild cattle, farmed what they could and engaged tenant farmers on shares. They extended their operations and, by the time Alameda County was formed, were the leading farmers not only in the county but around the state. John experimented with combine harvesters and became a recognized authority on the machines available in the state of California. He was familiar with the advances made with the harvesters and the problems associated with them. So he decided to construct his own machine. John had a blacksmith shop on his ranch where he repaired machinery and fabricated and re-

annually for years. They sold for 30 cents each in 1876. Jim Beazell moved on to Livermore and eventually became a state senator. Crowell purchased his partner’s interest and continued to operate the business for many years. The shop was reported to be very busy in June 1876, preparing tools and machinery for harvesting hay. Crowell advertised Turbine Windmills, Buckeye Pumps, and Toohey’s Superior Oil for leather harness and buggy tops. He taught the blacksmith trade to Chris Rasmussen and others. He retired and sold the business to Thomas Tierney about 1903. Crowell was Irvington’s “village blacksmith” for more than 40 years. The 1878 Atlas of Alameda County lists the shops of Crowell and Rix as “about the only manufacturing industry at the Corners.” (Washington Corners, now

placed broken parts, but he decided to have some parts of his proposed harvester made at the Rix blacksmith shop and the Crowell machine shop. These shops already had skilled machinists, blacksmiths and wood workers used to working with canvas, wood and rivets. Both shops were located in nearby Washington Corners, so distance was not a problem. A. O. Rix operated a pioneer wheelwright shop next to Crowell’s. He is listed in the 1867 business directory and subsequent directories, at times, as a wagon manufacturer. He invented and manufactured the Rix Almond Huller, which made it easier to harvest almonds. He sometimes advertised as a partner of Beazell and Crowell. Edward K. Rix was also listed as a blacksmith. Heman Crowell, who seldom used his first name in writing, came from Nova Scotia to Washington Corners in 1859. He established a business as a blacksmith and machinist and eventually became recognized as “the village blacksmith.” Jim Beazell moved from Centerville, and they formed a partnership advertised as Beazell and Crowell, Blacksmiths and Machinists.” They erected a new machine shop in 1862 where they shod horses and built and repaired farm machinery. They were the only blacksmiths listed for Washington

Irvington) The author also notes that mechanical and manufacturing interests were started here at an early day, notably that of Timothy Rix, who also became the first postmaster. Timothy Rix was a sea captain from Boston who sailed to San Francisco then settled on his ranch at Washington Corners in 1850. He bought and erected a house that had been shipped “round the Horn, worked as a wheelwright and became the first postmaster at “the Corners.” He established a store and wheelwright business that was continued by A. O. Rix in conjunction with Heman Crowell. One of the local history museum’s treasured photographs shows the blacksmith shop of Timothy in 1853. A.O. Rix was described as “a skilled wagonmaker.” E. K. Pix who worked with him was “Wrought-iron maker and blacksmith.” The “Day Book” kept by A. O. Rix was a record of the business conducted by the shop. Daily entries in the book gave the dates connected with the work done by the skilled wheelwrights, machinists and cabinetmakers. Listed items also itemize the costs

and drums, rivets, 15 feet of ash, labor changes for sawing and most revealing of all “work on harvester,.” Skilled workers in the Rix and Crowell shops were constructing parts for the harvester that John Horner had planned and designed.

Don’t wait until you have symptoms,” Dr. Mehigan added. “By the time symptoms occur, it could be too late to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing. With early detection, we can catch the aneurysm when it is small and treat it with medication and by controlling the associated risk factors. Even if it is not large enough to require surgery, we can prevent a potentially deadly rupture if we find the aneurysm in time.” Symptoms include a tingling or pulsating sensation near the bellybutton, pain in the abdomen or back, nausea, and dizziness. These symptoms often appear suddenly and without warning. Abdominal aortic aneurysms usually start small, another reason they can go undetected for years, Dr. Mehigan said. Some of these aneurysms grow very slowly and never become a problem, while others can grow quickly and rupture before any symptoms occur. Dr. Mehigan said aneurysms smaller than 4.5 centimeters can be treated effectively with medica-

tions. Those measuring three to four centimeters should be monitored with an ultrasound test every year, he added. “The test is safe, painless, and noninvasive,” Dr. Jain added. “The ultrasound technology detects and accurately measures the size of the aneurysm to determine if treatment is needed. After we perform the ultrasound testing to look for the presence of an aneurysm, patients have the opportunity to speak with a physician who will explain if they are at risk for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.” Call Today To Register To register for this free upcoming screening, call (800) 963-7070.

Wells Fargo will host a free Home Preservation Workshop for Bay Area Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Wells Fargo Financial and Wells Fargo Home Equity customers facing financial hardships. Wells Fargo has invited more than 8,500 mortgage customers to the free workshop which will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the Oakland Convention Center – Oakland Marriot East and West Halls located at 1001 Broadway, Oakland. Parking is free. Homeowners whose loans are “under water” - meaning they owe more on their mortgage than the value of their home - may be eligible to refinance their loan based on criteria including demonstrating ability to repay. Depending on eligibility for a loan modification, homeowners who are behind on their pay-

ments may also receive a principal reduction on their mortgage. Walk-ins are welcome but registration is strongly recommended to guarantee meeting one-on-one with a representative. Customers should register by Monday, February 11, 2013 at www.wfhmevents.com/leadingthewayhome or call 1-800-4058067 for more information. “Although less than 2 percent of homeowner-occupied loans in our servicing portfolio have resulted in foreclosure sale over the past year, we understand that some of our customers are going through difficult times during this economic recovery,” said Jim Foley, president of Wells Fargo’s Greater Bay Area region. “During this free workshop, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage customers who face payment challenges will have the opportunity to meet face-toface with our home preservation specialists to explore the options available to them. Our goal with this workshop is to help as many

people as possible preserve homeownership.” Where possible, borrowers will receive a decision on a workout, loan modification or other options, on site or shortly following the workshop. In March 2012, at a similar workshop in Richmond, more than 500 customers facing payment challenges attended and many received a modification or other loan workout to help them keep their homes and avoid foreclosure. Options include Wells Fargo’s own loan modification program and the federal government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). About 75 Wells Fargo home preservation specialist team members, including bilingual specialists, will attend the upcoming workshop to assist customers. Customers facing mortgage payment difficulties should call 1-800-678-7986 for more information about potential options to avoid foreclosure.

Fund managers: 2013 stock outlook remains positive BY MARK JEWELL AP PERSONAL FINANCE WRITER BOSTON (AP), A safe route around the “fiscal cliff ”continues to elude Congress and the White House. A recession is possible if automatic tax increases and spending cuts begin to take effect on Jan. 1, and people are afraid. Consumer confidence fell for a second straight month in December. In such an uncertain environment, stock mutual fund managers acknowledge there’s reason for investors to be unusually cautious in making any short-term moves. But they remain optimistic that there will be significant rewards for staying invested in stocks. They expect the market to climb in 2013, although the gain is likely to be more modest than this year’s 15 percent return in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index through Thursday. The reason for their optimism is that corporate profits remain strong. They say that’s the key factor in assessing the outlook for stocks, rather than the plodding economic recovery, political battles in Washington or the gloomy outlook of consumers. Earnings have recently grown at a much slower pace than in 2011. But they’re still increasing, with Wall Street analysts expecting growth of about 9.9 percent in 2013 on average, according to a recent survey by FactSet. “The bright spot in this slow economic recovery has been corporate profits,” says Mike McGarr, comanager of Becker Value Equity fund (BVEFX), which has posted an average annualized return of 2.2 percent over the latest 5-year period, outperforming nearly nine of 10 of its peers. He expects stocks to deliver “reasonably good results, although we’ve been steering people’s expectations down lately.’’ Stocks remain modestly inexpensive, based on their price-earnings

Ore., Calif., require transgender health coverage BY JONATHAN J. COOPER ASSOCIATED PRESS SALEM, Ore. (AP), Regulators in Oregon and California have quietly directed some health insurance

ratios – a measure that shows investors how much they’re paying for a dollar in earnings. The S&P 500 recently has traded at around 14 times the amount that companies earned per share over the past 12 months. That’s below the 10-year average of about 15. That’s a key indicator that stocks might climb higher. Here are the views of three fund managers: EXPECT MODEST GAINS McGarr predicts stocks will return around 5 to 6 percent in 2013, modestly below the 9 percent returns that the market has averaged historically. Yet he expects volatility to rise as investors assess continuing efforts in Washington to fix the nation’s fiscal problems. If his prediction turns out to be correct, the return of the stock market would surpass the returns that investors have recently earned from lower-risk investments, such as most categories of bonds. For example, a diversified bond index has returned 4.1 percent this year, with an index of government bonds returning just 1.9 percent. McGarr isn’t predicting a breakout year for stocks because U.S.based companies remain concerned about slow economic growth overseas, as well as at home. “They’re talking about slowing orders from big overseas customers, in Europe in particular,’’ he says. “And China’s growth outlook continues to be a wild card – some think its growth is still slowing, while some think we may have seen the worst of the slowdown.’’ PLAY IT SAFE Peter Tuz, co-manager of the Chase Growth and Chase Mid Cap Growth funds (CHASX, rated 3 stars by Morningstar, and CHAMX, with 4 stars out of a possible 5), says fiscal cliff uncertainties are likely to hurt short-term stock returns. “If there isn’t a deal soon, I expect weakness, because markets hate

uncertainty,’’ Tuz says. Asked what an investor might do in the short-term, he urged caution: ``If a person were thinking about investing when the market opens on Jan. 2, I would partially defer that decision, and spread the investment out over the course of three to six months. That’s because there will be lots of uncertainty, and you’ll be able to take advantage of certain dips in the market that we’ll inevitably see.’’ For the full year, Tuz expects a modest gain for the stock market of 5 to 7 percent: ``That’s reasonable, given the uncertainty we face.’’ SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY John Buckingham, manager of two 3-star funds, Al Frank (VALUX) and Al Frank Dividend Value (VALDX), is optimistic about dividend-paying stocks, citing the abundant cash reserves that many companies have now. He maintains that outlook despite the likelihood that tax rates on dividend income will rise sharply starting in January for investors in the top tax brackets. That’s the outcome if no deal is reached in the fiscal cliff talks by Monday. A dividend tax increase could also be included in any agreement that’s reached. ``Clearly, what’s going to be more important to the market than higher dividend taxes is the health of corporate profits, and the economy,’’ Buckingham says. Investors clearly remain nervous, as withdrawals from stock funds have consistently exceeded deposits this year. Yet Buckingham sees that as an opportunity, concluding that investors’ fears are a key reason why stocks are priced inexpensively. He wouldn’t be surprised to see the market return 9 to 12 percent next year. ``The pendulum will always swing between fear and greed,’’ he says. ``And we’ve swung way too far toward fear in recent years.’’

companies to stop denying coverage for transgender patients because of their gender identity. The new regulations apply to companies insuring about a third of Oregonians and about 7 percent of Californians. The states aren’t requiring coverage of specific medical treatments. But they told some private insurance companies they must pay for a transgender person’s hormone therapy, breast reduction, cancer screening or any other procedure deemed med-

ically necessary if they cover it for patients who aren’t transgender. Advocacy groups said the action is a major step forward in their long battle to win better health care coverage for transgender Americans. The director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco says he’s unaware of insurance regulators in any other state taking similar action. Officials in both states say the new regulations aren’t new policies but merely a clarification of anti-discrimination laws passed.

Tri-City Stargazer JANUARY 16 – JANUARY 22, 2012 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: Since the end of December we have had numerous aspects related to Pluto, planet of the 99%, plutocrats, the economy and all Powers that Be. These aspects continue through January. The bright side tells us that transformation is at hand; the truth is exposed; and spotlights will chase shadows away. The more seamy side of Pluto has to do with manipulation of the highest order with its self-serving tactics. Pluto's motion is related to vast power and social/political judgments which affect the masses. This is prominent not only in the USA, but worldwide. It seems fitting that these aspects are occurring now, given the unstable condition of the world economy. I hope for positive, phoenix-like transformation, even if it will require a matter of years.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20): A favorable aspect from Mercury suggests that this is a really good week for communications in any form. It is possible that a new piece of high tech equipment is in the offing. Your daily routine will generally be pleasant. Social life is favored. Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): Changes may be occurring in your primary relationship. One or the other of you is probably trying to hang onto what is familiar. Changes and growth must be allowed to happen or the relationship will become stale. Let things flow naturally. Don't make problems bigger than they are. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): Your next focus will be mentally expanding. You may be researching a new interest, gazing over travel brochures for your newest adventure, or pursuing an interest in philosophy or religion. Aspects favor legal interests, publishing, and exploring or communicating via the Internet.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21): At the beginning of the week you may be feeling stress related to your lover or a partner, maybe a child. Underneath it all, the issue is tied to your beliefs about what a woman “should” do or be. Our culture has always struggled with images of the feminine. Is she a caretaker or a seductress? Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22): For the next month much of your attention will be on "others" in your life. Partnerships of any type are generally favored by this arrangement, because you will be searching for the "fair" solution in any dilemma. It is a good time to seek consultation from professionals if you need it. Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): Focus your attention on new habits that will support your physical body and strengthen your mind. Meditation and yoga would be excellent. Your daily work routine will be very pleasant. New high tech equipment may be on the horizon, which will motivate you to reorganize your files.

Libra the Scales (September 23October 22): This is a week in which you will want to eliminate clutter from your home or office. Your leaning is toward the practical and simple. You may be purchasing storage solutions that will help you pack away the necessities of life in less space. I suggest you stash discards in a box for a while before they are trashed. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): Read the lead paragraph carefully. Pluto is one of your ruling planets. So the topic of the best use of power will be in the forefront. You need to learn to manage it well. If you do not, you may attract someone who will misuse you. Relationships are intense during this period.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): This is an excellent time for discussions with your partner or very close friends. The exchange of information and word play between you is fun and might provoke revelations. Activities involving school,

short distance travel, and learning are generally positive. Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Social and romantic life is favored. There are those who are more than willing to turn over their personal power to you. Remain conscious of this and use that power judiciously and fairly. Don’t get carried away with it, lest you regret it later. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 19-February 18): The sun returns "home" to your sign this week. You likely will find it to be energizing. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. With this birthday month, transformation

lands right on your doorstep and demands that you step up to the best and most mature your humanitarian sign can become. Pisces the Fish (February 19March 20): This is a period in which you may enjoy entertaining small groups at home. You have been making home improvements and now is the time to reap the rewards. Periods of quiet contemplation or meditation would be rejuvenating. Play non-intrusive music in the background to promote peace.

off at Anthony Ochoa Middle School, passing a utility box, or having dinner at Buon Appetito. Murals have become a vibrant face of Hayward, enlivening locations throughout the city and bringing its cultural and artistic heritage to life. Foothill Arts of the Bay Gallery honors the city with “Mural Hayward” opening Thursday, January 17. The work of seven local muralists will be featured including Jean Bidwell, Suzanne Gayle, Ben Goulart, Andrew Kong Knight, Linda Longinotti, Christine Pacheco, and Josh Powell. Not only will attendees be treated to the amazing creations of these outstanding artists, but will experience the before, during, and after stages, with a glimpse of tools and equipment of the trade. Jean Bidwell says, “The task of creating ‘Public Art’ includes more than one might imagine. What ‘works’ here? How will the neighborhood accept the design? (let alone ME?) Cost? Time? Environmental conditions? It’s brutal on the body. It’s heaven for the creative juices. It’s LOTS of laundry. And it’s an absolute JOY to wake up to each and every day.” Murals began appearing in the city thanks to the Hayward Public Art Mural Program, begun in April 2009; an effort to curb graffiti. They also provide a showcase for local artists, create business-to-business opportunities, and promote civic pride. Hayward Arts Council President Carol Markos pitched the idea for an exhibit, recognizing the

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

local impact of this art form. “It seems to be changing the face of Hayward, making it an interesting place to visit,” she says. Suzanne Gayle is among the artists contributing to that change; several of her murals appear on sound walls, schools, utility boxes, and various sites around town. Gayle has been practicing her art since child-

feet long and two stories high, the mural includes over 50 historical facts, with nods to the Zucchini Festival, Shasta Factory, Russell City Blues, Doggie Diner, Hunt’s Cannery, William Hayward, local firefighters, and fittingly, the Mural Program. Gayle says the execution is different for different murals, some requiring precise measuring, a paint

pletion time, she in turn provides a thrilling hands-on experience and sense of enduring accomplishment and pride. Working on a scale this large, one would imagine the difficulties to be legion. But Gayle says her biggest challenge is the weather. Terrain can also be an issue, such as the rocky ground at the sound walls across from the

hood, taking classes, reading lots of books, and experimenting along the way. She began creating murals after the birth of her daughter 12 years ago, starting with childlike images in baby rooms and gradually expanding to larger sites and complex themes. Plenty of preparatory work is involved, up to six months of research, drawing, and re-drawing. “I usually spend as much time putting together the design as I do painting,” says Gayle. Her Avalon Jewelers Streetscape Mural at 1051 B Street with its representation of local businesses and faces turned the once plain alley into a continuation of the Downtown area. Measuring 160

or chalk sketch to follow, the projection of an image, or simply diving in freehand. All artists have varying tactics, and talking and working with other muralists contributes to the ongoing development of the artist and their work. “I would say that our tools and techniques and everything adapt. I think we get a lot from one another,” says Gayle, who has collaborated with Jean Bidwell on the Pinnacle City Center Sound Wall and Christine Pacheco at Winton Middle School. Gayle also welcomes volunteers to work on her murals, giving assignments based on ability. She goes over the work and touches up details if necessary, but not only do her assistants help her with com-

BART tracks, and textured walls with their large holes can be a source of aggravation. But her passion for murals is unshakable. “I love doing things big. I like the feel of putting my whole body into motion,” says Gayle. “It’s much more rewarding to me than doing something small.” Visitors to “Mural Hayward” can pick up a guide to all of the must-see spots as well as purchase notecards of their favorites. The exhibit provides a wealth of stories, not only about the artistic process, but the vast history of Hayward and people whose lives have been touched by the murals. From kids to gang members and homeless people, the murals have become a source of pride, instill-

ing respect and unity with each stroke of the brush. A reception will be held Saturday, January 26 where attendees can talk to the artists and enjoy refreshments, live music by muralist Andrew Kong Knight’s band, Knights on Fire, and make their own mural in a hands-on project. Neighborhood Partnership Manager Stacy Bristow will also be speaking about the city’s murals. The Mural Project welcomes comments and suggestions from the community on existing and future artwork. Bristow says it’s nice to hear from the public and that their input helps guide them. To share your thoughts, go to www.ci.hayward.ca.us/ and click on “Access Hayward.” If you like what you see around town, please support the Hayward Public Art Mural Program. 50 more utility boxes are coming in 2013, with five projects slated at schools and an additional five murals scheduled for other locations. Donations will be accepted at the exhibit and the City of Hayward offices at 777 B Street. Checks should be made out to the City of Hayward with Mural Program indicated on the notes line.

Mary Margaret Sims honored for community efforts SUBMITTED BY HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION Mary Margaret Sims, a veteran volunteer for LIFE ElderCare’s Meals on Wheels program, has recently received a well-deserved award from the Fremont Human Relations Commission for outstanding contributions to our community. Mary has been volunteering for LIFE ElderCare for the past twenty-one years, a significant amount of time to be giving of oneself and caring for others. At LIFE ElderCare she provides a variety of services for frail, homebound seniors. She is also a Community Ambassador for the City of Fremont Human Services Department, and is proficient in assessing her client’s needs and offering recommendations and referrals when needed. Seniors receive meal service with a heartwarming smile from Meals On Wheels when Mary comes calling. She has charm and grace and offers her assistance and support with obvious love and concern. These seniors have been accepted as “family” into her life and her visits are a blessed part of their day. She is able to take her service a step further by accompanying some seniors to their doctor appointments, which can be a stressful experience, fraught with spells

of forgetfulness. Her support and care is essential to their wellbeing. Mary is well loved and an inspiration and role model to those she serves and her co-workers. Her many years of service, experience and wisdom make Mary Margaret Sims an outstanding recipient for this Human Relations Commission award.

ARTICLE BY SHIRLEY GILBERT That was a Mel Brooks line in the movie History of the World Part I. It was about performing in the “main room” of Caesar’s Palace and it was also about the terrors of stand-up comedy. Well, stand up holds no terror for comedian Karinda Dobbins. She’s been performing in the Bay Area for seven years at clubs like The Punchline, Cobbs and The Purple Onion. She loves it and the audience loves her. On Tuesday, January 22nd she’ll take her stand-up routine to the Fremont Main Library as part of AAUW Fremont Branch’s One Book, One Community year of laughter. The theme for January centers around an exploration of the world of the gutsy stand-up comic. Karinda, who was born and raised in Detroit, got into comedy when a friend asked if she would dare perform if she found an open mic opportunity for her. “I said yes only because I thought she would never follow through,” says Karinda. “When she found one, I was obligated to perform. However, it went well and that’s how I got started.” Many stand-up comics were bitten by the bug as a youngster by making their families laugh and Karinda is no exception. Except, she says, there are lots of funny people in her family all trying to make each other double over with laughter. Karinda admits that the scariest part of doing stand up is being all alone on stage. “It’s sink or swim,” she says. “The best part is being able to impart my world view to the audience and talk about things I think are important and try to make them funny.” Appearing with Karinda is the Bay Area’s Molly Sokhom. She grew up in the Tri-Cities, attended Logan High School, Ohlone and Chabot Community Colleges and has a graphic arts degree from San Jose State. Molly initially wanted to be an actress and got into stand-up comedy when she discovered the joy of making people laugh. She admits it’s a tough profession with lots

of competition. “You really have to have a good-paying job to pursue stand up — and I have two jobs. It’s also not easy to get gigs and you need courage to stick with it. You have to pursue your dream and I’m determined to do so.” Both women have agreed to discuss what life is like as stand-up artists after their acts at the Lots of Laughter gettogether. Along with Karinda and Molly’s performances there will be a review of the book “I Hate Everyone... Starting With Me” by 79-year-old Joan Rivers. The seasoned comedian has paved the way to success for many young women comics of today. In this hilarious book, Joan steals

Women Renegades ready to roll in Coast Conference action Women’s Basketball

SUBMITTED BY OHLONE COLLEGE With the start of the New Year comes the start of Coast Conference South Division play for the Ohlone College women’s basketball team. The Renegades are currently the four time defending Coast Conference South champions with a conference record of 47-1 in the last four years, they are ranked 5th in Northern California and hold the12th spot in the State of California. After a 17 game pre-season schedule, the renegades will enter their first conference game with an overall record of 13-4 Wednesday Jan 9 at Monterey Peninsula College at 5 p.m. and will host their first home conference game Saturday, Jan 12 at 1 p.m. taking on Cabrillo College. The pre-season was filled with lessons learned; some disappointing losses but more importantly, hard fought victories. Ohlone comes away with three big wins over two Bay Area rivals (City College of San Francisco and Foothill College) that are also two topranked teams in the state. On December 29, the Renegades came back from a 20-point deficit in the second half to beat City College of San Francisco and to become the Mike Gervasoni Memorial Classic Champions for the third straight year. The 2012-2013 Renegade roster is filled with a slew of local talent that contains a mixture of both freshman and sophomores. Foothill High School’s Madison Craig (Fr) and Danielle Lamarche(Fr), Livermore’s Alexa Martin (So) and Alyse Kline(RS), Kennedy High’s Haley McDaniel (Fr) and Alayna McGarry (RS), Del Mar High School’s Josephine Vieira (So) and Berika Egberuare (So), Andrew Hill’s Sopheap Chan (So), Moreau Catholic’s Megan

Scully (RS Fr), Lynbrook High’s Rebekah Yang (So), Piedmont Hill’s Tayla Monroe (Fr), San Leandro’s Kianha Farrish (RS), San Lorenzo’s DeAjanae Conic (Fr) and Dublin High School’s Liza Dunlap (RS) and Alexous Robinson (So). “I have a great group of kids! My staff and I worked extremely hard to make sure that we were skilled and deep at every spot with good kids and that is what we have this year. We have a group of people who are banded together and we are fighting for a common purpose and that is becoming more evident as we are getting deeper into the season. We struggled a little early, as we were getting comfortable with one another and understanding what needed to get done but we have gotten over the hump and are headed in the right direction. “The biggest difference in this year’s team is I don’t just have one leader or just a couple of scorers as it has been in the past here. I am fortunate enough to have any one of my players who are on the floor have the ability to put a lot of points on the board. Yes Alexous (Robinson) may be the most dominant at her position and makes a large impact during our games but there’s a lot of talent and ability around her that is coming more alive. Madison Craig is one of the most skilled scoring point guards in the state and as has had some big games for us. When she gets it fully turned on all the time we will be very, very tough. I’m excited to get into the next phase of our season and continue to push this group towards our goal.” Coach Allender says about her team. For more information on the Renegades or to find their schedule go to their website at www.ohlonewomensbasketball.com and follow them on Facebook.

Fremont Christian Warriors clinch BACSAL title SUBMITTED BY: CANDY ALCOSIBA The Fremont Christian Warriors clinched their division on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 by beating long time rival, Redwood Christian Eagles; final score: 50-27. The Warriors had been undefeated throughout the season until they played Redwood on December 14, 2012, and lost by three points in an upset that ignited Warrior determination. This time, they took the court with a vengeance and were not going to settle for anything less than a dominating victory… and that is just what they did. “Going into the Redwood Christian game, I felt energized because we played them close at their home court only losing by three points, this time, at our home court and I had a huge amount of confidence in the team because the chemistry, and how well we have been playing together,” said Tyler Pon. Coming out fierce in the first quarter the Warriors quickly and easily took the lead. Kyle Alcosiba scored six points in the first three minutes of the game and paved the way for Warrior domination throughout the game. Bharat Nair claimed four points while Ryan Grim scored one, ending the quarter with an 11-5 lead. The Warriors, under the leadership of Coach Glen Pon, were not satisfied and widened the gap through an unstoppable offense and unbeatable defense. During the second quarter, the Eagles stepped up their game get-

ting in nine points, but the Warriors put up another 10 points with two amazing three-pointers by Hekili Jordan and another four points by Bharat Nair; the Warrior defense held. The second quarter ended with a 21-14 lead for the Warriors. Warrior fans were ecstatic. Going into the third quarter, it was clear that the Warriors were not looking at the scoreboard; they were focused on playing at the top of their game and leaving nothing undone. The Warrior defense allowed just three points in the third quarter and the Warriors raked in another 11, ending the quarter with a 32-17 lead. However, the Warriors understood that one hundred percent means all four quarters. “It took a bit to get going since I was getting back into playing with the team for the first time this season, but I felt good and grew in confidence as the game went on,” Adanael Valle said. By the fourth quarter, the Eagle’s showed signs of despair while Warrior drives led to another 18 points. Although the Eagles managed to put up 10 points, nothing would deny a Warrior victory. With over 25 rebounds, 18 assists and many steals, the Warrior team left their mark on the court. “The Warrior theme is to finish strong, and after leading the first half, I had asked the team if we were going to finish strong and sure enough, the delivered because their play and intensity was increasing by

the minute in the second have and they certainly finished strong.” Coach Pon said. Although every member of the team played with heart and passion, scorers of the game were Kyle Alcosiba with 14 points, Hekili Jordan with 10 points, Bharat Nair with 9 points, Adanael Valle with 6 points, Josh Ramirez and Brandon Bains with 4 points each, Tyler Pon with 2 points and Ryan Grim with 1 point. Each player had many exceptional rebounds, assists, steals and a defensive strategy that held the Eagles against their will. Coach Pon summed it up saying, “Overall, it was a great team defensive effort by everybody contributing in contesting shots, taking the ball away, grabbing rebounds and forcing their offense to slow down,” “With a western division record of 7-1, and now the successful wining against Redwood Christian, we won the title outright as well as assured ourselves a top seed in the BACSAL playoff tournament this week, like last week, we clinched the title on the last division game,” Coach Pon said. There is no doubt about it Fremont Christian Junior High Boy’s basketball team is a team to watch. The unity, skill level and commitment to 110% effort 100% of the time us what makes this team dominate. As the team enters BACSAL playoff tournament, they will no doubt give it their all.

Fremont City Council Amends Smoking Ordinance SUBMITTED BY CHERYL GOLDEN On January 11, 2013, Fremont amended its Smoking Ordinance to better protect the public’s health and welfare. The City’s prior Smoking Ordinance was adopted in 1983 and had not been significantly updated since 1993-before State law banned smoking in indoor places of employment. Every year the American Lung Association in California reviews and grades local smoking regulations of cities based on areas where the Association believes local action is needed and where the greatest health benefits can be derived. A city’s overall grade is based on three categories: 1) Smoke-free outdoor air protection; 2) Smoke-free in multi-unit housing; and, 3) Reducing sales of tobacco products. Last year, Fremont received a “D”, a grade not reflective of its commitment to public health. In response, the Fremont City Council took immediate and purposeful action to revise the Smoking Ordinance by prohibiting smoking in public places and in places of employment. The revisions are aimed to limit unintentional exposure to second-

hand smoke, as well as provide an environment supportive of smoking cessation efforts. The amendments took into consideration both the needs of smokers and the needs of non-smokers to breathe smoke-free air, and determined that when in conflict, the latter takes priority. The new Smoking Ordinance was adopted by the Council on Dec. 4, 2012, and became effective on Jan. 3, 2013. “Over the years, Fremont has been recognized for being an ideal place to raise a family as well as a healthy, sharp, and bright city,” said Mayor Bill Harrison. “Amending the City’s Smoking Ordinance further demonstrates the City’s commitment to ensuring that Fremont remains a healthy and desirable place to live, work, and visit.” The new Smoking Ordinance includes many amendments. Noteworthy ones include: * Removes the smoking policy requirement for employers. * Simplifies the reasonable distance between smoking and nonsmoking areas to allow smoking 25 feet from building entrances, windows, and air intakes.

* Reduces the sign requirements to outdoor areas, including sidewalks in commercial areas, recreational areas, outdoor dining areas, and service areas. * Bans tobacco product vending machines and redefines a retail tobacco store to include only those stores where 75 percent of the gross sales receipts are from the sale of tobacco or smoking products and accessories. * Requires landlords/managers of multi-unit residential rental buildings to disclose smoking units, smoking areas, and smoking complaint policies to prospective tenants. The landlord is not liable for a tenant’s violation of the ordinance where the landlord has fully complied with the noticing requirements. The amendments to the ordinance declare second-hand smoke is a nuisance and allow a lawful tenant or property owner to bring a civil nuisance action without having to prove damages. To view the new Smoking Ordinance, please visit, www.Fremont.gov/SmokingOrdinance.

Students to start reaping benefits from Race to the Top Grant SUBMITTED BY NEW HAVEN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Students in the New Haven Unified School District will have only to visit their school’s library to start seeing the benefits of the District’s successful pursuit of a $29.4 million Race to the Top-District grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Among the many reductions forced upon the District by continuing state budget cuts, staffing was reduced or eliminated at the start of the school year in libraries and media centers at all New Haven schools. While some schools were able to provide various levels of service by using site funds, or because they were the beneficiaries of donations, all schools now will have services restored, as the District receives the initial influx of RTTT-D funds due during the next four-and-a-half years. New Haven Unified was named in Decem-

ber as one of only 16 recipients nationwide of RTTT-D grants. The District’s application was ranked No. 2 in the nation, from a field of 392 original applicants and 61 finalists. This spring, the District will begin the process of hiring literacy, math and assessment coaches who will provide in-classroom coaching at all schools. They will begin working in the fall to help personalize learning for literacy, math and use of assessments. The District also will solicit vendors to provide mini-computer tablets for students “to enable us to use today’s technology to teach our children,” in the words of Superintendent Kari McVeigh, “supplementing traditional methods of instruction and replacing outdated tools.” The mini-tablets – one for every student in the District’s middle schools and high schools and one for every two students in kindergarten through fifth grade – will be phased in starting in the fall.

The District also will purchase tablets, laptops and document cameras for all teachers and will hire technology trainers to help staff learn the new equipment, additional support technicians and a data specialist. Most if not all are expected to be classified positions. Some of the new equipment could be in classrooms before the end of the current school year, Ms. McVeigh said. The Superintendent also announced that Lisa Metzinger, principal at Kitayama Elementary School, for the past four years, has accepted the District’s invitation to oversee grant programs at all schools, pending approval by the Board of Education. Ms. Metzinger has District-wide experience as the former Director of Strategic Planning and Professional Development. “The Department of Education has been very generous with this grant, but the DOE also is understandably insistent that the money

is spent well and properly,” Ms. McVeigh said. “Lisa, whose District-wide experience is coupled with her years as an elementary principal, is the perfect choice to oversee our RTTT-D programs and to make sure we deliver what our children need in a manner consistent with what the DOE has to have.” Ms. McVeigh also announced that Tracie Noriega, principal at Alvarado Elementary School, has accepted the District’s invitation to serve as Coordinator of Assessment, pending Board of Education approval. The District will conduct an inclusive process later in the spring to fill the vacant principal positions. Until then, assistant principal Mikey McKelvey will serve as interim principal at Kitayama and Marcus Lam, assistant principal at Hillview Crest Elementary, will serve as interim principal at Alvarado Elementary, again pending Board approval.

Making book on council In this case, the odds of a vacancy were relatively high. I decided to ask for help from “Bookie Bob” who has been relegated to unemployment lines, first due to off track betting and finally sidelined by government lotteries. However, his skills remain sharp and, taking many factors – political and otherwise – into account, he has turned his eagle eye toward the voting about to take place. Note: By the time you read this, the dust may have already settled since I am on my way to observe the council in its “rank” voting finest.

WILLIAM MARSHAK

aving watched the Fremont City Council appointment scenario several times, it appears that the game of musical city council chairs in Fremont has become a fixture of the political scene. Again, we are watching the Kabuki theatre facade of filling a vacancy. Some vacancies are planned with much backroom dealing well in advance of the change, while others have been regretfully sudden and filled with sorrow.

In order to handicap this race, Bob looked at the existing political structure, past decisions and current composition of the council. He noted that a new mayor and past associations are not always the best predictors of what is to come, so this conjecture is simply that - a guess. My last prediction of who would survive the cut from 10 applicants was waylaid by a council decision that any candidate with at least two nods toward interview would be included. This upped the ante by one and, instead of five applicants, we ended up with six. In a tight contest, narrowing the number to three will probably be the result unless a back room deal cuts through the chaff.

Here’s the way Bob sees it and I tend to agree. Strong support does not indicate all councilmembers agree with this choice, simply that one or two of them have indicated a high level of commitment to that candidate’s philosophy and/or skill set. Salwan Broadwin Dutra Bonaccorsi Chugh Jones

Newark Police Log SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD January 6 Officer Katz responded to Macy’s at 3:22 p.m. and accepted the arrest of two adult shoplifters, Kinnari Patel and Kela Patel (both of Fremont). They were each issued a citation for shoplifting. At 7:55 p.m., Officer Ramos investigated an attempted residential burglary that occurred on Cypress Point Dr. that occurred between 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The suspect(s) attempted to gain entry into the residence by breaking a kitchen window. January 7 Officer Jackman responded to a possible interrupted burglary at 7:41 p.m. at a residence on Breton St. When one of residents came home, she observed an unknown male suspect inside the residence. Officers were unable to locate the suspect and the loss is unknown at this. January 11 Officers responded at 11:45 a.m. to a report of a robbery that had just occurred at Public Storage, 38290 Cedar Blvd. The suspects: #1 possibly a Black Male Adult, 6’0”, 190 lbs., wearing a dark hooded sweat jacket, dark pants and dark shoes, along with #2 possibly a Black Male Adult, 5’11”, 190 lbs., wearing a green or greyish colored hooded sweat jacket with white sleeves, unknown colored pants, entered the business and had the clerk lie on the floor while Suspect #1 held a black semiautomatic pistol at her. Both suspects had their faces covered. The suspects took cash from the drawer, approx. $100. The suspects fled northbound on Cedar Blvd in a black car. Officer Revay responded at 4:17 p.m. to JC Penny and accepted their Citizen’s Arrest of Catherine Flores of Hayward. Flores was arrested for petty theft. A homeowner from a residence on the 37000 block of Spruce Street called at 7:12 p.m. to report there was an unknown per-

son on the roof of a residence. As officers responded the area, the unknown suspect was reportedly seen attempting to cover a flood light on the south side of the residence. Once the suspect was seen by the caller, he fled west into backyard of the residence. A perimeter was set and a yard search commenced. “Ares” indicated on a scent in the north/west corner of the backyard and officers located freshly trampled grass in the same area. Additional yards were searched on Spruce, Thornton, and Poplar to no avail. According to a witness an older model, gold Saturn (unknown plate) was seen in the neighborhood earlier in the afternoon; occupied by at least two unknown males not known to the area. The suspect in this incident was described as a Hispanic Male and was last seen wearing a dark colored jacket. January 12 Officers responded at 10:10 p.m. to a possible residential burglary in progress at a residence on Lobelia Dr. Several residents noticed suspicious activity in the area and called the police. Upon arrival at the scene, Officers confirmed a burglary was in progress and located two getaway vehicles parked in front of the residence. Each of the getaway vehicles was occupied by a suspect, in addition to the other suspects still inside of the residence. As Officers set up a perimeter around the scene, simultaneously both getaway vehicles fled and one suspect exited the residence and jumped over a backyard fence. Both getaway vehicles were quickly stopped and the suspect who jumped the fence was confronted by an Officer causing him to jump back over the fence into the victim’s yard again. As the rest of the suspects exited the residence into the backyard, they were taken into custody. One of the suspects (later determined to be a 17-year-old juvenile) was apprehended by Officer Jackman’s K-9 partner “Eliot” after refusing to comply with commands and attempting to flee. Inside the residence, Officers located a

large gun safe that the suspects had knocked onto the ground and were attempting to pry open with sledge hammers and crowbars. Arrested for burglary charges were the following: Sigfredo Reyes of Fremont Lorenzo Bridges-Hipolito of San Lorenzo Juan Garcia of Hayward Jorge Gonzalez of East Palo Alto 17 year old male JUVENILE Gonzalez was one of the getaway drivers and was also arrested for possession of Cocaine and a Felony Burglary Warrant. Garcia was the other getaway driver and was also arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon since he attempted to run over Officer Jackman as he fled the scene. The adult suspects were all booked at FPD Jail and the juvenile suspect was booked at Juvenile Hall. January 13 This victim had originally called on 01/12/13, however due to the residential burglary call on Lobelia Dr. the victim decided to call back at 8:09 a.m. this morning. Officer Rodgers responded to a residence on the 6600 block of Normandy Dr. to investigate a residential burglary that occurred on 01/12/12 between the hours of 1230 hours and 2130 hours. Entry was made through an open bathroom window. The residence was ransacked. The loss at this time is jewelry. At 8:26 p.m., Officer Ramos followed up on information from last night’s burglary arrest and recovered a stolen vehicle parked near DeVry University in Fremont. This vehicle had been taken during a residential burglary in San Mateo.

SUBMITTED BY SUZANNE BARBA The League of Women Voters Eden Area will hold a forum to recommend the issues on which the state and local League should focus its attention 2013-14. Will it be campaign finance reform, air quality, water resources, mental health, gun control or something else? The free forum will be held on Saturday, January 19, 2013, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Castro Valley Library, 3600 Norbridge Avenue, Castro Valley. The State League has 24 positions on major issues in the areas of government, natural resources and social polices. Each of its positions, or “white papers,” is the result of one- or two-year studies by the League membership. The State League uses these positions to educate the public and/or advocate when various issues come to the fore through proposed legislation and propositions. The League “educates” through its Pro and Con presentations to public groups. The League does not mix education and advocacy events but does support or oppose issues based on its established positions. Although the event is free to the public, please RSVP so that event materials are available, or direct any questions, to Jo Loss at JASLoss@aol.com or call (510) 881-1285 (evenings). For more information about the League of Women Voters Eden Area, visit www.lwvea.org.

CDPH Warns Not to Eat Several Sister Sara’s Products SUBMITTED BY ANITA GORE January 11, 2013 - The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is warning consumers not to eat “Sister Sara’s Good for You” products because they may have been improperly produced, making them susceptible to contamination with Clostridium botulinum. No illnesses have been linked to any of the affected products at this time. The products were sold at certified farmers markets in Alameda County. Sister Sara of Pleasanton, CA., is voluntarily recalling the products after CDPH discovered they were produced without the required controls to prevent formation of botulism toxin. Ingestion of botulism toxin from improperly processed foods can lead to serious illness and death. These products were sold under the Sister Sara label and packaged in one-pint glass canning jars with screw-on metal lids. The products were labeled as “Sister Sara’s Good for You Soup,” “Sister Sara’s Bread & Butter Pickles,” “Sister Sara’s Pickled Beets,” and “Sister Sara’s Old Fashioned Dill Pickles.” These products do not contain production or date codes. Additional product information including photos of affected products can be found at www.cdph.ca.gov. Botulism toxin is odorless and colorless. Symptoms generally begin 18- to-36 hours after eating contaminated food, but can occur as early as six hours, or as late as ten days. Symptoms typically begin with blurred or double vision, followed by trouble speaking and swallowing, progressing to muscle weakness that starts in the upper body. Botulism can lead to life-threatening paralysis of the muscles used in breathing. People experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. Consumers in possession of the recalled products should discard them. Anyone who sees these products being offered for sale is encouraged to report the activity to the CDPH toll-free complaint line at (800) 495-3232.

have turned out to be less than they hoped for. “Lone Star” takes place in the cluttered backyard of a small Texas bar with Elizabeth’s macho husband, Roy, who just returned from Viet Nam, drinking beer and regaling his brother, Ray (who worships him) with tales of war and amorous exploits.

THEATRE REVIEW

A Little Princess BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR Lovers of children’s literature will already be familiar with the story of Sara Crewe and her journey from riches to rags to riches once again. The beloved only child of adventurer and tradesman Captain Crewe, Sara lives a charmed life. Her mother has passed away and Captain Crewe has a harrowing journey to embark upon, so young Sara is sent to a girl’s boarding school in her home country of England. She is not well received and must struggle to overcome judgment and mistreatment at the hands of her new caretakers. The Frances Hodgson Burnett novel inspired Andrew Lippa and Brian Crawley’s musical version of this story, though there are several differences to note. The novel has the Crewe family based in India, while the musical transports viewers to a British colony in San Louis in West Africa instead. It is unclear why this change was made, though the African dance numbers bring a lot of color and energy to the musical. Another notable difference between the novel and the musical is the location and recovery of Captain Crewe. In the novel and film versions, Captain Crewe is injured and taken in as a John Doe at the house of an older gentleman who happens to live next door to the girls’ boarding school. In the musical, the Captain is ill and remains in Africa, while his travel companion journeys back to England to relay the message to the Captain’s daughter. Relatively minor differences aside, the musical conveys the spirit of the story beautifully. The contrast between refined, rather drab England and lively West Africa is vivid. The musical opens with young Sara confined to her room after having been banished from the communal table for not wearing shoes to dinner. The school’s servant girl, Becky, sneaks food to Sara and questions her about life in Africa. As Sara reminisces, the stage becomes bright and filled with dancers in varicolored costumes. This theme of Sara’s dreams and stories, played out by her companions from Africa, continues throughout the play. It brings life and excitement to the story and the stage. The very petite Rachel Sue, a freshman at Fremont Christian School, plays the role of Sara Crewe. She has a very heartfelt presence on stage and is fits well in the role of the young girl. Cheyenne Wells, a Washington High School sophomore, plays her much-abused companion, Becky, the orphaned maid of the school. Sara shows Becky that being a princess is more about how one carries oneself and treats other people than one’s position at birth. The interaction between Miss Minchin, headmistress of the school, and her sister, Miss Amelia, is quite comical. Minchin is the antagonist, heaping hatred and jealousy on the head of Sara, who bears it all with grace. Amelia is kinder and simpler than her harsh sister, often being referred to as a “goose” in the play. She has several amusing lines. When asked by one of the girls if Egypt is in Africa, Amelia says, “Of course not! Egypt is in the Bible!” This adaptation of a classic children’s story was well done and a delight to view. The orchestra was superb! Dance numbers that drew the entire cast out on stage were well choreographed and the set was extremely well done, utilizing the stage and changing the mood, using beautiful scenery screens. StarStruck Theatre’s musical is suitable for young and old alike. It will play throughout January at Ohlone College’s Smith Center. A Little Princess January 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, & 26: 7:30 p.m. January 13, 20, & 27: 2:30 p.m. Smith Center at Ohlone College 43600 Mission Blvd., Fremont (510) 659-1319 www.starstrucktheatre.org/buy-tickets/ Tickets $20 - $26
