BY GUSTAVO LOMAS PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW What would it be like to throw a javelin? What does it feel like to pole vault? How would one go about running a race that involved hurdles, and better yet, which is more challenging - the long jump or the triple jump? Questions like these can be answered one of two ways. Either a person can look up preferences and statistics on the Internet or the more interesting option would be to talk to an athlete who has competed or still competes in one of the events.

Freedom Summit returns to Fremont BY ROBIN SHEPHERD Human trafficking is the third largest illicit trade following drugs and weapons, but it is growing faster than both of these, and is a growing problem in our own neighborhoods. Tri-City residents who want to understand the impact of human trafficking in our region and how they can participate in local anti-trafficking efforts can start by attending Freedom Summit 2013, January 25-26 at the Harbor Light Church campus in Fremont. It is the focus of this event to raise awareness of the issues and help communities to advocate for change through a wide variety of measures from policymaking to consumer choices. Freedom Summit 2013 will connect attendees with dozens of organizations that are collaborating to end human trafficking and other forms of modern-day slavery in our region. The event is organized by the Bay Area Anti-Trafficking Coalition (BAATC), and it offers American Sign Language interpretation (ASL). Keynote Speakers will include Betty Ann Boeving, Executive Director, Bay Area Anti-trafficking Coalition; Justin Dillon, Founder and CEO, Slavery Footprint; Nathan George, Founder, Trade as One; Jaida Im, Founder and Executive Director, Freedom House; Terry Inman, Senior Pastor, Harbor Light Church; Sean Litton, Sr. VP of Field Operations, International Justice Mission; and Bradley Myles, Executive Director and CEO, Polaris Project. Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley is particularly concerned about children, who are highly vulnerable to coercion by traffickers. In a two-year
BY JULIE GRABOWSKI The first month of a new year is filled with thoughts of change, hopes for a new start, and an attempt to view life and ourselves in a different, more positive way. These aims of transformation and betterment in the heart of an individual can be powerful and life changing, and even more so when an entire country sets a new course. continued on page 19

f you are over 50, there’s a good chance you have varicose veins. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that half of Americans age 50 and older are affected by this condition. It occurs when there is damage to tiny valves inside the veins. This leads to increased venous blood pressure in the legs, causing vessels to become dilated, thickened, elongated and twisted. People with varicose veins can have trouble with pain, swelling, itching and unsightly areas of skin tissue. In more severe cases of venous insufficiency, skin thickening and ulceration may occur, which can continue for long periods of time, causing additional discomfort and restricting movement of the legs. Some patients develop what is called venous claudication, which is pain, pressure and a feeling that blood vessels may burst while walking. Others have such severe disease that they have trouble completing their activities of daily living. For a long time, varicose veins have been treated with a surgical procedure called vein stripping and ligation, which requires a hospital stay and open surgery using general anesthesia. This can be inconvenient and debilitating for patients, with an extended recovery time and significant bruising. “Today, we view and often treat varicose veins—also called varicosities—differently,” said Gabriel Herscu, M.D., a vascular surgeon with Washington Town-
ship Medical Foundation, who is also on the medical staff at Washington Hospital in Fremont. “We see it as a chronic disease. When people understand that venous insufficiency is a chronic disease, they can learn what they need to do to help slow its progression or even prevent it.” “Patient education is key,” emphasized Dr. Herscu. “We also have new treatments that are much more comfortable for the patient.” Find out more You can find out more about the causes, symptoms and latest treatment of varicose veins, at a free Health and Wellness seminar featuring Dr. Herscu on Tuesday, January 29 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Called “Not a Superficial Problem: Varicose Veins and Chronic Venous Disease,” the program will be held in rooms A and B of the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium in the Washington West building at 2500 Mowry Avenue, next to Washington Hospital in Fremont. To reserve your spot, go online to www.whhs.com and look under Upcoming Seminars, or call (800) 963-7070. Two systems for circulation Our legs have two systems of veins for circulating blood. One system is deeper and the other is more superficial, or closer to the surface. “Patients with superficial disease have more treatment options, many which can be done without hospitalization,” added Dr. Herscu.

“There are a number of minimally invasive surgical techniques that have been developed, so common treatment has gone from a major operation to an outpatient, officebased procedure at the patient’s convenience, with the same effective results,” continued Dr. Herscu. “With this type of treatment, people can leave the office after a relatively short visit and go back to work without any interruption in their daily schedule.” Other treatment options include medication and use of compression stockings. Dr. Herscu emphasized that all levels of venous disease—from spider veins to varicosities to venous edema or swelling, discoloration and ulcerations—can be treated in some way. Treatment ranges from the latest office-based therapy to advanced venous reconstruction in the hospital operating room. Therapies can be used alone or combined with others for the most effective result.
Latest therapies One of the latest office-based therapies for the superficial venous system is called endovenous thermal ablation, which has become the standard of care for treatment of primary varicose veins. The surgeon inserts a thin catheter into the vein through a needle puncture, applying energy to the vein wall. This causes the vein to collapse and a scar forms to block the vein and force blood to flow through other nearby healthy veins. In another office-based procedure called sclerotherapy, the surgeon injects a solution into the vein, causing it to close and the blood to be redirected to other healthier veins. Unsightly veins can also be removed through tiny punctures in a procedure called “ambulatory phlebectomy.” continued on page 5

hile the country faces an influenza epidemic, two other highly contagious bugs are also making people sick. Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is widespread in 48 states, including California, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But the norovirus is rearing its ugly head as well. A new strain of the virus detected last year is now the leading cause of norovirus outbreaks in the U.S., according to the CDC. In addition, pertussis, also known as whooping cough, continues to pose a threat, particularly to babies and small children. “Until now we have actually been seeing more norovirus and whooping cough than the flu,” said Dr. Dianne Martin, a member of the Washington Hospital medical staff who specializes in internal medicine and infectious disease. “We are typically six to eight weeks behind the East Coast. Last Friday the CDC announced that the flu is now widespread in California. Most years the flu peaks in late February, so it’s hitting the state earlier than usual.” She said there is still time to get a flu vaccination, the single best way to prevent the contagious respiratory disease. Anyone over the age of six months should get a flu shot, she added. The flu shot contains three seasonal flu viruses that cause the body to build up antibodies capable of fighting off those strains. The viruses are inactivated or killed, so you can’t get the flu from a flu shot, according to the CDC. The flu is spread by droplets that enter the air when infected people talk, cough, or sneeze. Dr. 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, cough into a tissue or the crook of your arm and stay home until you feel better, she added.
Dr. Dianne Martin, a member of the Washington Hospital medical staff who specializes in infectious disease says that getting a flu vaccination is the single best way to prevent the flu. Flu and pertussis vaccinations are available at Washington Urgent Care located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. The clinic is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and no appointment is needed. For more information about the flu, visit www.whhs.com/flu-shot.
Norovirus Attacks the Stomach The norovirus is a contagious disease that causes the stomach and intestines to become inflamed, resulting in diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Symptoms can also include fever, headache and body aches. “Sometimes people confuse it with the flu because of the nausea and body aches,” Dr. Martin said. “While the flu is a respiratory illness, the norovirus attacks the stomach and intestines. The norovirus is most often seen in group living situations like nursing homes. Outbreaks have also occurred in hotels and on cruise ships.”
Ongoing and accelerating changes in the healthcare market, particularly the financial impact of the federal Affordable Healthcare Act on hospitals, are the primary causes of a recent workforce reduction at Fremont’s Washington Hospital Healthcare System (WHHS). The hospital system is reducing its total system-wide workforce by about 13 percent. However, with voluntary retirements and resignations, and the elimination of open/unfilled positions as well as some filled positions, actual employee layoffs were approximately 4 percent of the workforce (approximately 68 full time employees), WHHS CEO Nancy Farber said. Hospital management made the decision to reduce the workforce after much consideration and only after first reducing costs in other areas. The decision to reduce expenses was made by hospital management following approval of a budget that was reflective of the current economic conditions and declining patient volume. Although our Board of Directors is not legally required to authorize a reduction in workforce, the Board did learn of management’s plans to reduce labor costs during the publicly noticed budget presentation at the July 2012 Board meeting. The reduction in positions was one of many items that management indicated would be looked to effectively execute a new reduced budget. “We implemented a number of cost reduction strategies before moving forward with the difficult decision of a layoff,” Farber added. “Our employees are the heart of our healthcare system and we have always valued them and worked hard to retain them. However, in this changing economic environment, our first responsibility is to keep the hospital system financially strong for the residents in the district,” Farber said. Cost reduction strategies included a voluntary retirement program and a highly successful employee suggestion program to identify cost reduction opportunities, Farber noted. “While these measures have been helpful, they are not enough to achieve the necessary total cost savings.” The hospital system did not publicly notice the layoffs, as they are occurring in phases and have not triggered the public noticing process. Washington Hospital has not violated laws during this difficult process and does not appreciate allegations that illegal activities have occurred. The workforce reduction is not confined to Washington Hospital alone but also includes the district’s Development Corporation entities and its Medical Foundation. With workforce reduction and other cost-reduction strategies, the healthcare system expects to save approximately $7.6 million during fiscal 2013, Farber said. District voters recently approved a $186 million bond measure for construction of hospital facilities. However, federal law prohibits construction bond money from being used to pay for operating costs, including employee salaries, Farber explained. continued on page 9
According to the CDC, the Norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis and food-borne disease outbreaks in the U.S., causing about 21 million illnesses each year. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for the norovirus. The best way to prevent the spread of the disease is to wash your hands with soap and water, particularly after using the bathroom or changing diapers and before handling food. “Hand sanitizers aren’t effective on the norovirus, so you need to wash your hands,” Dr. Martin added. “It’s important
Page 3
to follow some simple precautions in order to prevent the spread of the norovirus.” Other precautions include washing fruits and vegetables and being sure to thoroughly cook seafood. If you have the norovirus, you should not prepare food or care for others, according to the CDC. Pertussis Can be Prevented with a Vaccine Pertussis or whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause violent, uncontrolled coughing, making it hard to breathe. After a coughing fit, a person infected with pertussis often needs to take a deep breath, which results in a whooping sound. Whooping cough most commonly affects infants and young children and can be fatal. Fortunately, pertussis can be prevented with a vaccine. After a whooping cough epidemic hit California in 2010, with more than 9,000 cases reported that year and 10 infant deaths, there was a push to revaccinate teens and adults. “The whooping cough vaccine wears off, so you need to get a booster shot,” Dr. Martin explained. “Children should get five doses of the DTaP vaccine before they reach age 7. The booster shot for adolescents and adults comes in the form of a Tdap, which also vaccinates against tetanus and diphtheria.” Flu and pertussis vaccinations are 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. For more information about the flu, visit www.whhs.com/flu-shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has good information about the flu as well as the norovirus and pertussis at www.cdc.gov. To find out how to get flu and pertussis vaccinations, call Washington Hospital’s Health Connection hotline at (800) 963-7070.

Q. I just bought a new sofa with a floral pattern, and now I’m not sure what I should do with the chairs. Should they match the sofa? What about the drapes? Should they match the chairs, the sofa or should they be different? Help! A. Many people find it challenging to mix different patterns. They feel more comfortable purchasing a matching sofa, loveseat and chair. Good for you for
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
wanting to avoid that “matchymatchy” look. Mixing colors and patterns makes a room much more interesting, and it is not as difficult as it may seem. As a general rule, vary the size of the patterns by including fabrics with small-, medium- and large-scale designs. Aim for at least three fabrics—one for the sofa, another for the chairs, and the third for the draperies. Additional patterned fabrics can be used for dining room chair cushions, accent pillows and ottomans. Since the floral fabric on your sofa is large-scale, you’ll be looking for small- and mediumscale patterns for the other pieces. Stripes and geometrics work very well with floral patterns. Using
the colors from the floral - varying shades of aqua blue, rose, green and cream - look for a geometric design for your chairs that includes one or two or three of those colors. For example, look for a small-scale blue and green-colored diamond pattern or a raspberry and blue pin dot pattern. As an alternative, a mediumscale plaid or stripe in rose, blue and cream would also work. The two chairs should match each other, but a third accent chair can be in a different but coordinating fabric. How about luxurious velvet in aqua blue or raspberry? Although it is a solid color, velvet provides a lovely texture. The two head dining chairs can be in the same fabric as the sofa, while the side chairs
January 22, 2013
can be in the same blur or raspberry velvet. Patterns should share the same collection of colors, but do not necessarily need to have the same number of colors. For instance, you can combine a floral pattern of five colors with a geometric or stripe that incorporates three of those colors, and a tone-on-tone stripe that’s just a single color. Let’s talk about the drapes. Since the walls in your living room are painted a warm cream color, you have some leeway here. Which of the colors from the floral sofa would you like to see more of - the rose, aqua blue, green or cream? For a quiet look in the room, choose a cream-colored fabric that blends into the walls. Don’t try to match the wall color exactly—instead choose a color that blends well. Going a little bit darker than the wall will add some richness without adding a lot of contrast. Choosing a similar color for the drapes and the walls also helps make a room look more spacious. However if you like contrast and want the drapes to stand out more, choose rose or blue fabric for the
drapes. Consider customizing your solid color drapes by adding some patterned fabric to the bottom or side hems. Tone-on-tone fabrics make lovely window treatments, as they provide pattern without looking too busy in the room. And striped fabrics are also a great choice for draperies. Make some accent pillows out of the drapery fabric for the sofa or the chairs. And while you’re at it, make one or two additional accent pillows in the chair fabric for the sofa. Pillows are a great way to tie all the furniture pieces together. Add some texture to the pillows by trimming them with a variegated fringe that incorporates two or three colors in the room. By selecting a variety of coordinated colors and patterns, your room will be unique and interesting. Anna Jacoby of Anna Jacoby Interiors is a local interior designer.

period, Alameda County has identified 267 at-risk or involved youth in the commercial sexual exploitation industry. Of this population, 64 percent came from Alameda County, 71 percent were under the age of 18, and 38 percent have victimization history. “They are all our children to protect, and they can be rescued when someone pays attention and takes action,” said O’Malley. “Our Office is committed to ongoing efforts to educate the community, rescue the victims and prosecute the offenders. We’ve participated in anti-trafficking training, and we are sharing our expertise in order to prevent or eliminate human trafficking in our county. We are proud to be a part of this year’s Freedom Summit, an event that brings together hundreds of local advocates determined to fight modern-day slavery in the Bay Area.” Within the District Attorney’s Office, the Human Exploitation and Trafficking (H.E.A.T.) Watch Program provides a blueprint for helping victims and holding their traffickers accountable. To date, the Office’s H.E.A.T. Unit has prosecuted over 40 percent of the human trafficking cases statewide. H.E.A.T. Watch collaborates with law enforcement and the courts and corrections system, social services and healthcare professionals, schools, elected officials and community members through the Bay Area H.E.A.T. Coalition (BAHC),
which offers networking and training opportunities around human trafficking. At the Freedom Summit, a H.E.A.T. Watch representative will teach a course on the use of social media and marketing to empower human trafficking awareness campaigns. Participants will be given actionable examples to bolster their own efforts. For Terry Inman, building an active response to human trafficking is an act of faith. “I just returned from India, where thousands are trafficked for sexual exploitation,” said Inman. “I visited an after-care facility where I learned the stories of dozens of young women who’d been rescued from a life of bondage and was inspired by their songs of freedom and gratitude. But human trafficking cannot be compartmentalized as a problem that only happens somewhere else in the world in order to make it someone else’s problem to solve. Human trafficking is here, too, on our own city streets.” Inman is Senior Pastor of Fremont’s Harbor Light Church, which supports Project Rescue, the sponsoring organization for the after-care facility he visited. He will share his experiences in India with attendees at the Freedom Summit, which will be hosted by Harbor Light Church for the second time in as many years. “No one organization can address human trafficking alone,” said Inman. “It is a complex problem that requires a collective

Just as Christians and people of other faiths are committed to stand against human trafficking, so, too, are educators and their students, healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, policymakers, civic leaders and everyday citizens.” According to Inman, “Success stories like Project Rescue are the result of collaborative efforts of freedom advocates in India, the U.S. and around the world who are sharing knowledge and resources not only for the rescue of trafficking victims, but for their restoration and skills training so they can begin new lives in freedom.

Farber added: “Washington Hospital is not immune in this period of economic uncertainty and the significant impacts of the changing healthcare market. It is abundantly evident that health systems, stand-alone hospitals and physicians will be paid a great deal less now and in the future while being asked to do a great deal more. “Washington Hospital’s changing financial performance is unfortunate but typical of what is happening throughout the healthcare environment as the industry struggles to adapt. Decreases in reimbursement rates from the state and federal governments as well as from private insurers, and increasing costs, particularly labor costs, are having a significant impact on the bottom line. “Approximately 10,000 individuals are entering the Medicare system each day and the Affordable Care Act seeks to insure millions of currently uninsured individuals. The entire spectrum of the healthcare industry is struggling to absorb the impacts of these new costs but it is clear that the greatest impact will fall on hospitals. “We anticipate our cost reduction strategies will allow us to emerge from our current financial shortfall so that we can soon again operate from a position of fiscal strength,” Farber added, “allowing us to rehire many of those employees affected by this layoff.”

Whole Foods groundbreaking SUBMITTED BY NINA MOORE The Fremont Chamber of Commerce and property owner Robson Homes will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Whole Foods Market, to be built on the northwest corner of Mowry Avenue and Paseo Padre Parkway, on Friday, January 25 at 2:00 p.m. Construction for the 52,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market and retail development was approved by Fremont City Council in July 2012. The grading permit was issued in October 2012. Whole Foods Market is expected to open in late 2013. Whole Foods Market has been long-awaited and reflects the city’s changing demographics. “The addition of Whole Foods Market validates Fremont’s attractive environment for lifestyle retail, and will serve as an anchor for Fremont’s new Downtown,” said Bill Harrison, Mayor of Fremont. “The Fremont Chamber of Commerce is delighted and encouraged to see this type of economic development in Fremont,” said Cindy Bonior, Fremont Chamber of Commerce. “We know that Fremont residents have long expressed a desire to have a Whole Foods Market in our community and we are sure that it will be a draw for the region as well.” Mark Robson, CEO of Robson Homes, added “Whole Foods Market not only offers high-quality natural and organic foods, but also will serve as a catalyst for other great retailers to come to the community.” “We are thrilled to soon be a part of the wonderful Fremont community,” said Rob Twyman, Whole Foods Market Regional President, Northern California and Reno Region. “We are looking forward to working with the city and its residents during the coming months to both build a great store and to connect with and support this community via our various community partnership programs.” More information on Downtown Fremont can be found at: www.Fremont.gov/Downtown

BART subject to late night delays in the Transbay Tube SUBMITTED BY ALICIA TROST BART continues to make its system safer in the event of an earthquake. This week BART began work to complete a power supply upgrade project in advance of the next stage of its Earthquake Strengthening Project. There will be some late evening work in the Transbay Tube for the next few weeks which will require use of only one track after 10 pm. This work is being scheduled during hours that will minimize disruption to customers. Work must begin during passenger serv-
ice hours because it requires more than the 2-4 hours each night that are usually available for servicing the Transbay Tube. Customers traveling during this period should allow extra time as trains must share one track between Montgomery Station and West Oakland Station. BART will try to minimize delays and will maintain transfers for customers making connections between lines. On the evenings that the work is performed, BART Service Advisories will keep customers informed. BART appreciates its customers’ understanding as the
system is improved. The work is scheduled for the following nights though the schedule is subject to change: 1/21, 1/22, 1/23, 1/24, 1/27, 1/29, 1/30, 1/31 and 2/5. The next phase of strengthening work in the Transbay Tube will begin in the first week of March 2013 and continue for 13-14 months. This work also requires single-track use during late night hours. Customers can sign up for BART Service Advisories at bart.gov/alerts or text “BART go” to 878787 or call 511 for up-todate information. Also follow @SFBARTalert on Twitter.
“These grants are about the core work of Kaiser Permanente: improving the health of our members and the communities we serve,” said Arleen Carino, Community Benefit Manager for Kaiser Permanente in southern Alameda County. “We encourage community groups to apply for these health grants.” Last year, Kaiser Permanente awarded $462,000 to 30 programs serving communities in southern Alameda County. Funding priorities this year include: reduce obesity in adults and children; reduce teen pregnancy rates; improve access to prevention and primary care services; improve prevention and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; and increasing violence prevention and education. The funding range for community grants this year is in two categories: new and innovative community grants range from $5,000 to $15,000; collaborative grants range from $15,000 to $30,000, in which two or more groups partner in a project. The project time line will run from April 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2013. Applicants will be notified of the status of their application by March 22.

Auto Review
Jeep Patriot Affordable All-American 4x4
BY STEVE SCHAEFER
P
atriot sits somewhere between the glamorous and highly regarded new Grand Cherokee and the legendary Wrangler. The Wrangler is a direct descendant of the rugged four-wheeled World War II-winner. Patriot could be a car that a lot of people will enjoy owning and driving. The all-American product, assembled in Belvidere, Illinois, really looks like a proper Jeep, with its upright, slatted nose with round headlights to the squaredoff, protruding wheel wells. It actually resembles the old Jeep Cherokee, a vehicle that helped to pave the way for compact SUVs in the 1980’s. The three models start with the Sport and move up through the Latitude and, at the top, the Limited. You can get a Patriot with front wheel drive only; no one will know that your car is no more of an offroader than a standard sedan, but it could save you money and improve your fuel economy a bit. However, you can order two levels of four-wheel drive. Freedom Drive I offers a full-time active system that’s nice to have in inclement weather. You can lock the wheels into four-wheel drive for deep snow and sand conditions, but it’s really meant for onroad safety, not exploring on the trails. This system, along with seat-mounted airbags, helped earn the Patriot a “Top Safety Pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the 2012 model. The Freedom Drive II OffRoad Package adds what you
need for some fun in the dirt and rocks. It has a transmission with a low 19:1 ratio crawl gear when it’s switched into off-road mode. It also comes with 17-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tires. You get skid plates to protect the underside of the car, tow hooks and a full-size spare tire. Best of all, you receive the much honored “Trail Rated” badge. There’s a special Freedom Edition Patriot this year. It comes in only red, white or blue and features a star on the hood and rear quarter panel, plus some extra comfort and convenience content. Best of all, Chrysler donates $250 to a military charity for each one sold. Patriots come with one of two engines. The standard engine in the Sport and Latitude is a 2.0liter four that puts out 158 horsepower and 141 lb.-ft. of torque. With a five-speed manual transmission, it gets a remarkable 30 miles per gallon on the highway.
SUBMITTED BY SHIRLEY SISK The League of Volunteers (LOV) is holding the 22nd annual “An Elegant Affaire” on February 8, 2013. It will be held again at the Newark Pavilion where “hidden chefs” of the Tri-Cities will be serving a gourmet dining experience for the benefit of LOV’s Arts In Schools Program which provides in-school multi-cultural performing arts assemblies to the children of Fremont, Newark and Union City. Last year’s glittering event helped bring performances to over 15,000 young people. The theme is “Celebrate Valentines with An Elegant Affaire and the celebrity chefs are preparing a five course meal to please every food lover’s palate. The appetizer course is presented by Washington Hospital Board Member Pat Danielson and Pat Kite of the Union Sanitary Dis-
The five-speed manual comes only on the Sport, though. On higher levels the continuously variable automatic is standard. Standard on the Limited and optional on the other models is the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque. You’ll lose two mpg on the highway compared to the 2.0-liter, but the extra power should be welcome in daily driving. The EPA gives Patriot with the 2.4-liter engine and automatic ratings of 21 combined (20 City, 23 Highway). I got 18.7 mpg in mixed driving. The EPA Green Vehicle Guide scores are “6” for Air Pollution and “4” for Greenhouse Gas (2012 model). Thanks to dual variable-valve timing, the 2.4-liter engine makes the most of the torque curve for higher performance. My tester had this engine and it seemed eager to get up and go, although I didn’t take it on any rock climbing expeditions.
The Sport has a lot going for it: a low price, including the safety of electronic stability control and hill start assist and conveniences like cruise control and an outside temperature display. The midrange Latitude adds power windows and locks, air conditioning, keyless entry, heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 115-volt power inverter. The Limited provides leather seats with power adjustment, an electronic vehicle information center, a nice audio system with SiriusXM, climate control, and all the trimmings. After a welcome upgrade, the interior of the Patriot, while not luxurious, feels well crafted and substantial. Even the hard plastic pieces don’t feel cheap and they fit together well. It’s a bit like a baby Grand Cherokee while still being the least expensive 4x4 sold in America. Prices for a manualequipped two-wheel-drive Sport with no options start at just

$16,920. My Latitude tester with four-wheel drive and some audio upgrades came in at $26,220. Jeeps are not highly favored by the sharp-eyed folks at Consumer Reports, although the Patriot’s reliability ratings are above average. It’s likely that the vehicle’s age is a factor here, but sales of Jeeps are up so plenty of folks still want to own one. Many changes are on the way for this storied brand, including a new small SUV based on a FIAT platform. But for the real allAmerican four-wheeling experience, this is a very reasonable way to take it to the street—and off the road.

Fremont Unified School District Board meeting report BY MIRIAM G. MAZLIACH The following are highlights from the Fremont Unified School District Board meeting held on January 9, 2013. Community Leadership/Superintendent’s Report: Superintendent James Morris stated how proud he was of the district’s staff and employees in light of the tragic school incident at Sandy Hook, across the country. Fremont schools are in communication with the Police Department and work with other schools on how to keep our schools safe. Assistant Superintendent of Business, Raul Parungao addressed the Board regarding the Governor’s preliminary budget projection, for 2013-2014. Parungao stated, “It is key to our district’s budget for next year.” In May, the Governor will make final revisions and in June, the FUSD Board will need to approve the district’s budget. Additionally, by March 15 the district is required to notify its employees of potential lay-offs. However on a positive note, Parungao said that the district is not anticipating any layoffs, due to the increase of class size initiated last year and through the natural attrition of employees, etc. Agenda Item – Finance/Facilities: The Board voted on the appointment of community members to the Measure K Parcel
Tax Citizen’s Oversight Committee and the Financial Advisory Committee. Oral Communications/Public Comment: The majority of speakers were teachers who work for FUSD. Many detailed the rising costs of their employee health insurance, and asked why the district’s healthcare coverage is so high. Several stated that personal rates could be obtained at a better rate than those offered through the district. They explained that their family premiums range from $1,500 to $2,000 per month, causing extreme financial hardships. Irvington High School teacher, Rebecca Devakumar remarked, “Healthcare is a human right, not a luxury.” Agenda Item – Student Achievement & Learning: This item dealt with revisions to the Board Policy on the selection of Supplemental Instructional Materials to be utilized by teachers for curriculum enrichment and to enhance the learning process. After listening to an update from the Director of the Instructional Materials Center, Jan March and the Director of Secondary Education, James Maxwell, several board members requested a more fully delineated list of the recommended authors and books, before they would even consider approval. Therefore, the Board delayed action at this time, but will bring it back for a Second Reading at an upcoming meeting.

SUBMITTED BY CLEAN WATER PROGRAM Between January 22 and February 2, 2013, member agencies of the Clean Water Program will be holding reusable bag giveaway events, in support of the countywide reusable bag ordinance that went into effect on January 1. The ordinance prohibits stores that sell packaged food or alcohol from giving away single-use bags at checkout, and requires them to charge a minimum of 10 cents per paper or reusable bag, in the hopes that shoppers will bring their own reusable bags to the store. The following reusable bag giveaways are scheduled, while supplies last. All events are free to the public. • Dublin: Tue, Jan 22: 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. lobby of the Dublin library, 200 Civic Plaza, Dublin • San Leandro: Fri, Jan 25: 10 a.m. -12 noon, Pac N Save supermarket, 555 Floresta Blvd. • Emeryville: Fri, Feb 1: 3 p.m. - 5 p.m., Pac N Save supermarket, San Pablo Ave at 40th St. • Hayward: Sat, Feb 2: 9 a.m. – 12 noon, Hayward Farmers Market, 777 B Street (City Plaza) • Oakland: Sat, Feb 2: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m., next to Foodvale Market, 3401 International Blvd (Fruitvale) “We want to raise awareness about the harm disposable plastic bags pose to the health of our local creeks and San Francisco Bay, and so we are encouraging residents to get into the habit of using reusable bags,” explained Clean Water Program Manager Jim Scanlin, “Each year, the equivalent of 100,000 kitchen garbage bags worth of litter end up in our local waterways, including an estimated 1 million disposable plastic bags,” he added.
In Alameda County storm water does not pass through a water treatment plant. This means that litter and other pollutants carried into the storm drain system by wind and water flow directly into creeks and the Bay, where they harm fish, marine mammals and birds. Plastic bags and other lightweight plastic litter don’t biodegrade and are particularly hazardous because they float, entangling and poisoning marine wildlife that mistakes the items for food. In addition to its environmental impacts, litter is also an eyesore and puts a heavy financial burden on communities. Alameda County jurisdictions spend approximately $24 million every year on litter and storm drain cleanup. Under the Federal Clean Water Act, cities in the Bay Area are required to reduce or eliminate storm water pollution in order to comply with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit, issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Board. Under the current permit, Alameda County must reduce trash discharge from storm drains by 40% by 2014, and by 70% by 2017. The ban is expected to go a long way toward reaching those goals.

Increase in Flu activity reported SUBMITTED BY ANITA GORE Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and state health officer, says that while we are seeing an increase in flu activity in California, it is not an unexpected increase nor is it too late to get vaccinated against the flu. “California is seeing an accelerated increase in flu activity over the past few weeks,” said Dr. Chapman. “You can help prevent further spread of the flu by getting a flu shot.” While influenza activity varies from year to year and is unpredictable, California generally sees an increase in cases in late December or early January and it often peaks in February or March. According to CDPH surveillance indicators, influenza activity in California is beginning to show a steady increase. “The best defense against the flu is getting vaccinated. This year’s vaccine is an excellent match against this year’s influenza strains,” Dr. Chapman says. “There is no shortage of vaccine in California and it is not too late to get vaccinated. Our flu season may not peak for several more weeks, so I en-
courage everyone to get vaccinated to protect not only themselves, but those with whom they come into contact.” Dr. Chapman also notes that in addition to getting vaccinated, it’s important to practice good hand washing and other good health habits. People who are ill should take actions to stop the spread of germs such as: While sick, limit contact with others Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based rub Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth Those at highest risk - the elderly, pregnant women, infants, or those with other health conditions - who show flu symptoms should contact their physician immediately in order to get the most effective treatment. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. For more information, visit: www.cdph.ca.gov
BY MARTIN GRIFFITH ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. (AP) An expert says a fireball seen across a wide swath of the West from Reno to San Francisco might have broken up over the Pacific Ocean. Robert Lunsford of the American Meteor Society says his New York-based group has received about 50 reports from people in California and Nevada who saw the brilliant streak of light at 5:21 Thursday morning. Lunsford says while most reports about the fireball came from the San Francisco Bay area, it also was seen around Reno, San Diego and Redding, Calif. Most people described seeing an intense flash of blue or white light heading from east to west that lit up the landscape. Lunsford says the fireball might have been the size of a small car, and it disintegrated five to 50 miles above Earth.

Al-Jazeera pays $500M for Current TV BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP BUSINESS WRITER LOS ANGELES (AP), With its $500 million purchase of left-leaning Current TV, the Pan-Arab news channel Al-Jazeera will soon be seen in tens of millions of U.S. homes. It’s a steep price, but the acquisition helps the network in its aim to quickly spread its message to more Americans. The purchase will create a news channel called Al-Jazeera America, coming to American homes 90 days from now with a distinctly nonAmerican view of the world. The network claims many people in the U.S. have sought its programming online, and that it aims to present an “unbiased’’ view, “representing as many different viewpoints as possible.’’ The deal already had its first casualty. The nation’s second-largest TV operator, Time Warner Cable Inc., dropped Current after the deal was confirmed Wednesday, saying the network didn’t have enough viewers. The change in ownership gives Time Warner Cable the right to drop the channel, but spokeswoman Maureen Huff said the company is keeping “an open mind’’ about airing the new Al-Jazeera America. “As a service develops, we will evaluate whether it makes sense for our customers to launch the network,’’ Huff said. Even after it is rebranded later this year, the channel will continue to be carried by DirecTV, Comcast Corp., AT&T U-verse and Verizon FiOS, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person spoke on condition of anonymity and wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. That boosts the reach of AlJazeera to about 50 million homes, up from the 4.7 million that could watch Al-Jazeera English, which is available to some subscribers in New York and Washington. That’s down slightly from the 60 million homes Current TV was in. It also amounts to a hefty payday for former Vice President Al Gore and cofounder Joel Hyatt, each of whom had 20 percent stakes in Current. Comcast had less than a 10 percent stake. Another major investor in Current TV was supermarket magnate and entertainment industry investor Ron Burkle, according to information service Capital IQ. Gore confirmed the sale Wednesday, saying in a statement that AlJazeera shares Current TV’s mission “to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling.’’ Orville Schell, the former dean of journalism at UC Berkeley who was on Current’s board, said the sale was justified. “The reason to sell to Al-Jazeera is that they wished to buy it,’’ Schell
Statements by Fed officials in meetings in 2007 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Happy Safe Prosperous New Year
The Federal Reserve on Friday released transcripts of the eight meetings its policy committee held in 2007. The meetings occurred as the country was on the brink of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Throughout the year, the housing crisis deepened. Banks and hedge funds that had invested big in subprime mortgages were left with worthless assets as foreclosures rose. The damage reached the top echelons of Wall Street. Beginning in September 2007, the Fed began to cut interest rates and took extraordinary steps to ease credit and shore up confidence in the banking system. But the transcripts also show members greatly underestimated the scope of the approaching financial crisis and how it would tip the U.S. econ-
said in an email reply to The Associated Press. “Whatever one may think about them, they have become a serious broadcaster that covers the world in an impressively comprehensive way. Time Warner probably dropped the contract because they fear American prejudice.’’ Al-Jazeera, owned by the government of Qatar, plans to gradually transform Current into Al-Jazeera America by adding five to 10 new U.S. bureaus beyond the five it has now and hiring more journalists. More than half of the content will be U.S. news and the network will have its headquarters in New York, spokesman Stan Collender said. Marwan Kraidy, a professor of communication at the University of Pennsylvania and an expert on the Arab media, said the deal is part of an expansion binge by Al-Jazeera. “The U.S. market has been the nut they wanted to crack, and this is why they pursued Current TV so assiduously,’’ he said. “A small country like Qatar has very few tools to exercise global influence, and they’ve figured out that media is one of these tools.’’ Working against it, Kraidy said, is the perception among some Americans that Al-Jazeera is a ``toxic brand.’’ It’s still remembered as the channel that gave voice to Osama Bin Laden, he said. That U.S. resistance to Al-Jazeera isn’t logical, Kraidy believes, because Qatar’s foreign policies ``are very much aligned with U.S. policies at the moment.’’ In 2010, Al-Jazeera English’s managing director, Tony Burman, blamed a “very aggressive hostility’’ from the Bush administration for reluctance among cable and satellite companies to show the network. Collender said there are no rules against foreign ownership of a cable channel – unlike the strict rules limiting foreign ownership of free-to-air TV stations. He said the move is based on demand, adding that 40 percent of viewing traffic on Al-Jazeera English’s website is from the U.S. “This is a pure business decision based on recognized demand,’’ Collender said. “When people watch AlJazeera, they tend to like it a great deal.’’ Al-Jazeera has garnered respect for its ability to build a serious news product in a short time. In a statement announcing the deal, it touted numerous U.S. journalism awards it received in 2012, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award Grand Prize and the Scripps Howard Award for Television/Cable In-Depth Reporting. But there may be a culture clash at the network. Dave Marash, a former “Nightline’’ reporter who worked for Al-Jazeera in Washington, said he left the network in 2008 in part because he sensed an anti-American bias there. Al-Jazeera English went on the air in November 2006. It moved quickly
to establish a strong presence on the Internet, launching web streaming services and embracing new social media services such as Twitter in part to compensate for its lack of a presence on U.S. airwaves. The English news network has a different news staff and a separate budget from the Arabic network, which launched in 1996. They and the company’s growing stable of other Al-Jazeera branded channels are overseen by Sheik Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani, a member of Qatar’s royal family. Sheik Ahmed took over last year following the abrupt resignation of the company’s longtime Palestinian head, Wadah Khanfar, who was widely credited with helping build Al-Jazeera into an influential global brand. In his departure note to staff, he said he was leaving behind “a mature organization’’ that “will continue to maintain its trailblazing path.’’ Both the English and the Arabic channels actively covered the protests, violence and political upheaval that have become known as the Arab Spring. Current, meanwhile, began as a groundbreaking effort to promote user-generated content. But it has settled into a more conventional format of political talk television with a liberal bent. Gore worked on-air as an analyst during its recent election night coverage. Among its leading personalities are former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and Cenk Uygur, a former political commentator on MSNBC who hosts the show called ``The Young Turks.’’ Current signed Keith Olbermann to be its top host in 2011 but his tenure lasted less than a year before it ended in bad blood on both sides. On Wednesday, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said the public affairs program she hosts would stay on the air for the next few weeks before she leaves for other pursuits. California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom also said he will end his show on Current TV by the end of January, although he said he decided to do so before the acquisition was announced. Current has largely been outflanked by MSNBC in its effort be a liberal alternative to the leading cable news network, Fox News Channel. Current hired former CNN Washington bureau chief David Bohrman in 2011 to be its president. Bohrman pushed the network to innovate technologically, with election night coverage that emphasized a conversation over social media. Current TV, founded in 2005 by former vice president Gore and Joel Hyatt, is expected to post $114 million in revenue in 2013, according to research firm SNL Kagan. The firm pegged the network’s cash flow at nearly $24 million a year. AP Television Writer David Bauder and AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson in New York and AP writer Adam Schreck in Baghdad contributed to this report.
omy into the worst recession since the Great Depression. Below are excerpts from those meetings: From the January 30-31 meeting “Our goal has been, in some sense, to achieve a soft landing, and the question is whether we have missed the airport.’’ –Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. From the June 27-28 meeting “I still feel the presence of a 600pound gorilla in the room and that is the housing sector. The risk for further significant deterioration in the housing market, with house prices falling and mortgage delinquencies rising further, causes me appreciable angst.’’ –Janet Yellen, then-president of Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Yellen now is the vice chairman of the Fed. From the Oct. 30-31 meeting “Developments of financial markets on balance since the last meeting have been reassuring. The panic has receded. The disruptions are more contained.’’ – Timothy Geithner, then-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in a reference to the banks and hedge funds that were facing huge losses because of the real estate crisis. Geithner later was named Treasury
secretary in 2009. “I think the economy is slowing. Even the non-housing part of the economy is slowing a bit. Housing prices are still obviously sliding down. We don’t really claim to know much about where they’re going to end up or where we are in that process, but it seems that they are falling and probably at an accelerating rate.’’ –Geithner. “I think it is too early to say that we are out of the woods. ... The pace of deterioration in the housing sector has been more severe than we expected and the problems associated with housing finance seem far from resolution.’’ “I think the most likely outcome is that the economy will move forward toward a soft landing.’’ -Yellen. “Except for those sectors (housing and manufacturing), there is a good bit of momentum in the economy.’’ – Bernanke, who also acknowledged that there was ``an unusual amount of uncertainty’’ around the Fed’s economic forecasts. “The subprime market is a focus of angst, which it should be. ...

Tri-City Stargazer JANUARY 23 – JANUARY 29, 2012 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: Over the next two weeks we have several aspects involving Mars. This red planet represents the principle of raw, physical power. He is the original god of war and therefore “rules” knives, guns, surgical instruments, or anything that might cut, like a sword. He rules “attack” on any level, including accidental. We draw on our Mars energy when we feel angry and want to "protect" our territory. This week and next there will be multiple aspects involving Mars, so the adrenaline is immediately available and can be overwhelming. Use care when driving and using tools. Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20): Recognize that you may manifest your thoughts, both positive and negative, into reality. Think carefully about what is truly important to you now, at this time in your life. Don't allow old habits or rules from the past to make your decision for you. Don’t get trapped in obsessive thinking. Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): You have favorable aspects concerning romance, social life, and family life with husband and children. The Other in your life wants to run things and you don't mind turning over the responsibility, at least not this week. This is a good time to heal rifts in any relationship. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): The Sun smiles upon you from the 9th house of legal matters, publishing, higher education, travel and church interests. In the background you may have concerns about your health. However, if you are doing what you know is necessary, there really is no cause for worry. Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21): This is not your best week
unless you plan to get a lot of hard work accomplished. If you become aware that you are easily angered, use caution concerning tools or machinery. Your reflexes may not be on target. Avoid speeding because there may be police on every corner.
family. That also includes those whom you think of as an extended family, such as coworkers or maybe a special circle of friends. The arts and all things of beauty are of a special pleasure to you now. You are prone to overspend.
to concentrate in order to avoid critics, whether they be internal or external. Instead of blame, use the discipline to tackle a project that requires concentration. Avoid contracts and business negotiations right now because misunderstandings may develop.
Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22): This is an especially favorable time with partner, love life, children, and romance. Warning to those on diet and exercise programs: this week it is just too easy to break training. If you mean what you've promised to yourself, don't go anywhere in which you would be in harm's way.
Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): This is not your smoothest week. Details may nag your mind and your time like pecking ducks. You and significant others are not having the best of communications right now. You may be in the mood to nit-pick others. Probably you will feel generally better if you work alone. Circumstances with home or family may be uncomfortable.
Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 19-February 18): You have highly favorable aspects all week. You and your partner or significant other are in sync. Love, romance, and social life are positive. A “teacher” crosses your path in the form of a person, a book, or the right message that will steer you in the next favorable direction.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): Beware of the tendency to obsess and worry over matters that may never happen. You are tempted to see the world through a dark lens this week and you may think that is the true version. It's more likely that the pessimistic view is extreme. Don’t brood over things you cannot control. It deepens worry lines in your face. Libra the Scales (September 23October 22): During this week you will enjoy home, hearth, and
Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): Your mood is expansive and optimistic this week. It is one of those "good luck" times that occasionally happen to the Archers. You have a grasp of the big picture and could use this energy to promote your projects and gain support. Or you could simply kick back and enjoy the good feelings. Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): You may need
Pisces the Fish (February 19March 20): Help from behind the scenes is in your corner this week. You may never know about it, or perhaps you will find out later. You continue in the mode of enjoying home, hearth and family. Meditative or contemplative activities soothe your soul. Your health is given a boost.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
January 22, 2013
January 22, 2013 continued from page 1
January marks the anniversary of Republic Day of India, celebrating the installation of a constitution declaring the country an independent, democratic republic. India gained its freedom from British rule on August 15, 1947, but did not immediately ratify its own constitution. A committee was formed to work on a new document and, after several years and drafts, the national assembly signed the final constitution on January 24, 1950; the new document became effective two days later, now officially celebrated as Republic Day. Every January 26, a large parade is held in India’s capital city of New Delhi with a prominent military presence and numerous floats and other displays representing the history and culture of the country. Cel-

ebrations are held in other state capitals as well as by Indian communities across the globe. Residents of the Tri-Cities can join the celebration of India’s independence at the Federation of Indo Americans of Northern California’s annual event at Newark Pavilion. Vibrant cultural programs, patriotic songs, and a dinner with dignitaries will mark Republic Day; Consul General of India in San Francisco N. Parthasarathi will be in attendance as the chief guest of honor. Admission is $25 per person. Bay Area Youth Vaishnav Parivar will celebrate with a carnival in Milpitas including games - dart balloons, bowling, duck pond, and paintball - and food stalls offering traditional flavors of India such as dabell, pav bhaji, mango lassi, raj kachori, and more. Cultural dances, flag raising, patriotic songs, and a parade with dignitaries will also be part of the festivities. Kids can get involved in the fun by participating in painting and public speaking competitions at an event hosted by Association for Kids and Youth Program and Radio
BY CAMERON AND CORINA CHEN Over Thanksgiving school break, we went to Junior Ranger Camp at Lake Elizabeth. At camp, Ranger Sandy took us on a hike along Lagunas Creek, which flows out of Lake Elizabeth Park. We saw a LOT of trash in the creek and this made us and the water birds unhappy and decided to clean it up so it would be prettier. First, we asked our mom and dad to help us clean the creek. They helped us buy a sixteen-foot pole, a net, some rope, a big hook, and a roll of duct tape. Some of the things we removed were a soccer ball, two footballs, 35 tennis balls, three ping pong balls, three fishing bobbers, lots of bottles and cans and food containers, a tic tac box, three lighters, a sea monster toy, and a BIG heavy, muddy cash register! The snowy egrets, ducks, and other birds seemed happier after the cleanup, but there were many things we could not reach with the pole. We were happy with the cleanup work and hope that other kids and parents will help keep Fremont clean, too.

THEATRE REVIEW
BY JULIE GRABOWSKI PHOTOS BY DAN SPARKS Frustrations, gossip, and stories of the good old days flow freely alongside the alcohol in James McClure’s two comedic one-act plays currently onstage at Broadway West. “Laundry & Bourbon” features three housewives in 1974 Maynard, Texas, dealing with their own sets of disappointments and difficulties. The high school days of double dates, young love, and thrilling excursions in the back seat of a 1959 pink Thunderbird convertible are long gone, and Hattie is visiting her best friend Elizabeth’s house to escape her three rambunctious kids and the ever-present strain of family life. Amid the heat and laundry, Elizabeth frets over the two-day absence of her husband Roy, a Vietnam veteran who is struggling to find his footing since his return two years ago. Upset over the current state of their life, Elizabeth just wants things to be back the way they used to be. When a disliked Amy Lee Fullernoy unexpectedly drops by with a mystery box and tickets to the charitable pancake supper, truths are discovered, tempers are riled, and character is revealed.
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
The men take the scene in “Lone Star.” Roy, drinking Lone Star beer behind Angel’s Bar with his little brother Ray, tries to come to terms with the past, his present, and the unwanted change he sees all around. The two pass the night under the stars “Playing Vietnam,” recounting amorous exploits, arguing over the right way to eat their snacks - Baby Ruth, popcorn, then beer - and holding up the symbol of all things youthful, wild, and free, Roy’s beloved pink Thunderbird. But Roy is hit by shocking facts when Cletis “Skeeter” Fullernoy shows up and Ray shares a burning secret. Broadway West delivers a great opening show for their 17th season, the perform-
ances - loose and easy - are thoroughly enjoyable with every actor right on their mark. Dawn Cates (Hattie) and Troy Johnson (Ray) deliver the comedy gold of the evening, both hilariously pitch perfect throughout and most appealing to watch. Cates is a magnet on stage; a standout segment being Hattie’s distress over the possibility of mahjong displacing her

hard-learned bridge as the current game of choice. Morgan Voellger as Elizabeth is strong and confident, her performance showing a depth and roundness of character that attracts and interests. Voellger and Cates make a great duo and are a wonderfully easy and complimentary fit. Angie Higgins adds just the right amount of flavor as country club member, do-gooder Baptist, and gossip Amy Lee, the three women together creating a dynamic mix of fun and friction. Lee Watson gives a strong and passionate performance as Roy, and makes another great partnership of the evening with Johnson. The two play well off of each other and create a believable sibling relationship. Johnson tends to steal the thunder, however, as the simple, lovable Ray with numerous funny comebacks and interjections. Chuck Phelps as Cletis is a humorous addition, but the overdone geekyness of his appearance and behavior are a bit of a distraction. Overall, “Laundry & Bourbon” and “Lone Star” are funny, realistic, and hopeful slices of life with the great partnerships between its cast members making a winningly entertaining evening.
Due to some adult content, “Lone Star” is not appropriate for children. Performances are at 8 p.m. with three Sunday matinees at 1 p.m. January 27 and February 3 matinee shows begin with a continental brunch at 12:15 p.m., and the February 10 performance offers refreshments during intermission. Tickets are $25 for general admission and $20 for students, seniors and TBA members.

Bounceback week for MSJ Varsity Men’s Soccer The Mission San Jose Varsity Men’s Soccer team had a highly difficult week as they faced the James Logan Colts on Wednesday and the Washington Huskies on Friday. Despite the harsh competition, the Warriors managed to come out of the week with two ties, adding two points to their total standings. In the 33rd minute of Wednesday’s game, Logan’s Justyn Raygoza placed a perfect ball in the top right corner of the net to put the Colts in the lead 1-0. It wasn’t until the 67th minute that Adam Peavey finished a cross inside the penalty box for the MSJ equalizer. With two minutes to go, MSJ’s Noah Yang buried the go-ahead goal for the Warriors on a cross from inside the eighteen. But MSJ could not hold their 2-1, and Logan’s Evander Olivares guided a header just inside the right goal post off a corner kick, tying the game at 2-2 in dramatic fashion. On Friday’s game against the Huskies, the Warriors were the first to score, but not until after a full first half dominated by defense. MSJ’s Sahil Bansal put the Warriors on the board with a neat finish into the lower left corner, just past the diving keeper. Shortly thereafter, Washington tied it up on a header coming off a free kick that could not be stopped by the Warrior goalkeeper. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. The Warriors will take on the Irvington Vikings this Wednesday at 5:45 at Tak Fudenna Stadium, and the Newark Memorial Cougars at 7:45 at Tak on Friday.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

What comes after bronze?
WILLIAM MARSHAK
I
n many competitive events, medals are awarded based on performance among peers. Most systems have settled on a three-tier system: gold, silver and bronze. The Olympics, for instance uses this system with an award ceremony that usually accommodates only three athletes. Elevations of the medalist podium are reduced to indicate final standings; the national anthem of only the gold medal winner is played. What recognition is given to fourth place? Well known athletes may garner endorsements based on the title, “Olympian” or “National Champion” but most lucrative contracts and public adulation is reserved for those with a bevy of medals hung around their neck. Even in the present quest by the San Francisco 49ers, the ultimate glory is victory in the final game. Reaching the Super Bowl is worthy of note as the National Football Conference Champion, but conference runner-ups – American Football Conference or National Football Conference - are less likely to be remembered or venerated even though these teams could be considered third place finishers! Listening to presentations by City Council hopefuls at last week’s interview process to fill the vacancy left by Bill
Harrison’s election as Mayor, I was struck by the oft-repeated sentiment of Fremont’s role as fourth-largest city of the Bay Area. Aspirations based on that characterization are somewhat antithetical to leadership of a progressive environment. Such leaders seek to direct their own course rather than follow the dictates of others. While decisions of how to proceed with economic and environmental development should be in harmony with surrounding communities and the region at large, they also need to chart an independent path as well. What makes a city great is that rather than simply seeking a safe path, grasping the coattails of others, it separates itself from the role of a “wannabe” subordinate municipality and firmly takes a position of leadership.
Valley, is subverting our worth and value to others. We, as a city and key component of the region should construct a unique identity and build on strengths associated not only as a nexus for the greater Bay Area, but as a strong, vibrant community in our own right. The community of neighboring cities can only strengthen this position. Publications and organizations have recognized area strengths and our cities are often cited as exemplary; its time for our leaders to do the same as a consortium of complementary communities. Even our own hotels display brochures and websites that tout “local” attractions as venues in San Francisco, San Jose and other surrounding cities. Why are truly local venues left out of the conversation?
Recently Fremont was ranked in 24/7 Wall St., an online business-oriented publication as the nation’s fifth best managed city. Although many factors contributed to this accolade, some not really controlled by the City itself, there are two ways to look at this honor. I watched a brief television news brief that acknowledged the tribute and then quickly focused on San Francisco (ranked #11). The emphasis was on the wrong city, but for many of those who watched and listened, the more familiar – and lower ranked city - was given primary emphasis. Why?
Fremont needs to consider its own and neighboring promotional options including its future: Downtown, Warm Springs development, BART extension, convention opportunities, etc. and current attractions: historic venues, outstanding environment, performing and fine art organizations, and many other amenities that result in #1 ranking using a multitude of comparisons.
It all comes down to perception and attitude. A #5 rank gains little differentiation from #11 unless it is shown that Fremont is actually #1 of Northern California. Only Irvine in Southern California ranked higher in the western United States. This type of reasoning is a key component when competing in the free market for product or image dominance. It should be considered as a vital factor when competing as a city and region too. Tagging along as an appendage to anything, including the sainted Silicon

Newark Memorial looks good against Moreau SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Newark Memorial High School Cougar basketball started off the Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) basketball season on a winning note as they dominated the Moreau Catholic Mariners on January 9, 69 – 42, demonstrating why they are, again, going to be the team to beat this year.
Newark took control from the start of the game and they never looked back, opening up 38-19 lead at the half. They repeatedly shut down attacks by the Mariners with great team defense and controlled the paint and hoop. Dominating rebounds and shutting down any shooting lanes led to a convincing victory for the Cougars. *, Newark played a great transition game moving the ball at will, with great speed and
accuracy. This is the same pattern that led them to the North Coast Section Championship last year. They may be there again with a better result. Newark’s speed never let Moreau mount any significant offensive effort throughout the game. Cougar speed and movement were a great start to their season.

Senior softball registration SUBMITTED BY ROBERT ASKEY Hayward Area Recreation District is forming a 70+ senior softball league for the 2013 season - March through September. It is a co-ed league with games played on Wednesday mornings (9-12) at Alden E. Oliver Sports Park, Eden Park, 2580 Eden Park Place, Hayward. We have players from several east bay communities. There is a small fee for registration to defray some league expenses. Everyone in the league plays at least three innings each game - athletic ability is not an issue. 2012 saw two leagues (50+ & 60+). In 2013 - we plan on expanding to include 70+. Each team consists of about 15 players. 2012 saw 8 teams in both the 50+ & 60+ leagues. Registration is open until January 26. Individuals interested in playing can get details at the website www.hardseniorsoftball.com or call Mike Carroll (510) 531-8075.

It is “too soon to tell” how Gov. Brown’s proposal for the 2013-14 state budget will affect New Haven schools, Chief Business Officer Akur Varadarajan recently told the Board of Education, warning that although the proposal includes a well-publicized $2.7 billion increase in funding for public education there are “insufficient details” for local districts to determine their funding under the new formula. Even if the proposed budget is adopted, Mr. Varadarajan told the Board, local districts are being advised to build their 2013-14 budgets and future forecasts on current revenue models, meaning New Haven actually must plan for a $6 million operating deficit, Mr. Varadarajan said. The Governor’s proposal still is subject to passage by both houses of the state legislature. More information is expected from the state within the next few weeks. Also, the Board: Voted to convene a Facility Names Committee to make suggestions for renaming Alvarado Middle School. This proposal grew out of discussions that accompanied the decision last summer to name the Decoto School for Independent Study. Approved the audited financial report for the 2011-12 fiscal year.

Olympian Track and Field Clinic, questions like these and many more can be answered. The clinic began twenty-seven years ago, initiated by James Logan High School’s very own track and field and cross-country coach Lee Webb, and at his side, Willie Davenport. Willie Davenport was an athlete unlike any other of his time, competing four times at the Summer Olympics as a hurdler and participating in both the Summer and Winter Olympics in 1980, crossing over to be part of the American bobsled team, only the fourth American to compete in both games.
“It wasn’t always named after Willie Davenport, we changed the name in his honor after he passed away,” stated Webb.
“The purpose of the clinic is to show those who attend the power of motivation as well as learn of the history behind track and field.” Webb has been involved in the clinic as much as possible and uses this inspirational annual event to help recognize anyone interested in sporting events, no matter what their athletic ability. He also coordinates the World Youth Team, a seventeen and under Olympic event. “The first time we held the event there were only forty people that showed up, but thankfully throughout the years and with help from sponsors, more and more have come to know about what we do here as they give us any support possible,” Webb said. “It has now grown to be considered the largest track and field clinic in the world. We honor everyone for their efforts and support, but my favorite athletes are those who compete in the Special Olympics; they are a great group of people.” The Willie Davenport Olympian Track and Field Clinic creates a ‘learn by doing experience.’ No matter the participants’ age or whether it is one person or a group, the

events and information are gathered for anyone and everyone to enjoy. Along with the opportunity to learn of track and field history there will be club sign ups, and some Olympian special guests including, but not limited to: Rink Babka, Olympian Discus; Reynaldo Brown, Olympian High Jump; Mike Powell, World Record Holder Long Jump; Eddie Hart, World’s Fastest Human 1972; and Karin Smith, 5-Time Olympian in the Javelin. Trained clinicians will be available to answer questions and help participants learn at all stations: Distance, Triple Jump/Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus plus a few more. “Not only is there emphasis to educate and inform those who attend but most importantly this is a positive environment designed to help all who attend numerous ways to help improve themselves. You have to believe if you want to achieve,” said Webb. Registration for the clinic will be from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m. with the scheduled events of the day starting at 9 a.m. in the James Logan High School Pavilion. Fees for participants are $20 for individuals, $10 for youths (10 and under), $350 for a team registration (up to 30 athletes), and $500 for teams of 50 plus. Registration forms can be found at www.logantrackandfield.com. All ages are welcome and lunch will be available on campus for $5. Parking is free.
