BY MEDHA RAMAN PHOTOS BY CASSANDRA BROADWIN The olive tree is one of the oldest known cultivated trees in the world – grown before written language was even developed. An ancient symbol of abundance, glory, and peace, its longevity rewards many generations of farmers. In mythology, the Goddess Athena brought the olive to the Greeks as a gift, useful for light, heat, food, and medicine. Athena planted the original olive tree on a rocky hill that we know today as the Acropolis. Native to Asia Minor, the
olive tree spread to the rest of the Mediterranean basin nearly 6,000 years ago. Olive farming in California is believed to have started in the late 18th century as the Franciscans marched north, establishing missions in California and planting olive groves. Between 1769 and 1823, olive farming flourished at missions located between San Diego and Sonoma. California now provides almost 200,000 tons of commercial olive crops per year. Celebrate this historic link between olives and California at Fremont’s Mission San Jose District “Olive Festival.” Hosted by the Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce, the festival will be held this year on Saturday, October 5 behind the historic Old Mission San Jose Museum in the Dominican Sisters’ beautiful olive grove. The Dominican Sisters pressed olives until the midcontinued on page 7
Honoring Bay Area Native Americans BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR PHOTOS BY CASSANDRA BROADWIN Hidden among the tule grass in the wetlands of Coyote Hills Regional Park is an ancient village site, preserved over 2,000 years. Normally fenced off for safekeeping, this historic site is opened to the public a few times each year for special events and educational programs. The village, once home to the Tuibun Ohlone people, includes a family home, a shelter for shade, and a sweat lodge. On Sunday, October 6, Coyote Hills will host the 20th “Gathering of Ohlone Peoples.” Park-goers will have the opportunity to not only tour the Ohlone village, but also meet descendants of the Ohlone people, learn about Ohlone traditions, and hear about issues facing Native peoples in today’s culture. continued on page 7 INDEX Arts & Entertainment . . . . . . 21

Washington Hospital Seminars Focus on Medicare Part D and Changes to Medicare in 2014
I
f you are a Medicare recipient and want to review your plan or are enrolled in a Part D prescription drug plan and are concerned that you may not have all the coverage you need, you may want to attend two upcoming seminars at Washington Hospital. Washington Hospital will present “Medicare Part D Prescription Plan Update for Open Enrollment” on Wednesday, October 9, and Thursday, October 10, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. “Medicare Changes for 2014” will be offered Tuesday, October 8, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Thursday, October 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The free seminars will be held at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. Register online at www.whhs.com or call (800) 963-7070 for more information. “It is important to understand what the different plans offer,” said Kristi Caracappa, health insurance information service coordinator at Washington Hospital. “For example, there are more than 30 Medicare Part D plans available with different premiums, copays, and benefits. It is recommended that you review your plan every year.” At the seminar focused on Medicare changes for 2014, Caracappa will update participants on any new changes to Medicare, Medicare Part D, and Medicare
Advantage Plans. At the Medicare Part D seminar, Caracappa will explain how the prescription drug plan works and what you need to consider when evaluating the different plans, such as what your annual outof-pocket expenses will be with each plan. While these plans are provided to anyone who qualifies for Medicare, they are offered through private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. You can sign up for the Medicare program when you turn 65 (or younger if you have a disability). At the time of enrollment, you can choose a medical plan that best suits your needs. If you are already enrolled in Medicare, you have an opportunity to review your Part D prescription drug plan each year during open enrollment. This year open enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7. “Open enrollment is the time to evaluate your Medicare Part D plan and determine if it is still the best plan for you,” Caracappa said. “This is also the time to evaluate your Medicare Advantage Plan. Sometimes plans change and medications that were covered before are not covered anymore. Also, new plans become available, so there may be a better option for you than the plan you currently have.” Medicare and Healthcare Reform Caracappa will also explain how the Affordable Care Act is helping to close the
Washington Hospital will present “Medicare Part D Prescription Plan Update for Open Enrollment” on Wednesday, October 9, and Thursday, October 10, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. “Medicare Changes for 2014” will be offered Tuesday, October 8, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Thursday, October 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The free seminars will be held at the Conrad E.Anderson, M.D.Auditorium, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.

coverage gap that is often referred to as the ”donut hole” – a gap in coverage that requires beneficiaries to pay the full cost of their prescription drugs until the total outof-pocket maximum is reached. “The additional discounts in the coverage gap is part of health care reform” she said. “Instead of paying the full cost of brand name prescription drugs during the gap period, beneficiaries only pay 50 percent. That percentage will continue to go down until 2020, when it is 25 percent.” Medicare Advantage Plans can also affect coverage under Medicare Part D. They are Medicare health plans offered by private insurance companies. Most Medicare Advantage Plans, or Medicare Part C, provide health coverage and drug coverage under one plan, Caracappa explained. In Alameda County, Medicare Advantage Plans can include health maintenance organizations (HMO) or preferred provider organizations (PPO). Most
Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage. “There is a lot to consider when choosing the plan that is right for you,” she said. “We can walk you through the whole process so you get the plan that best suits your needs.” At the end of each seminar, Caracappa will set up appointments for anyone who wants help selecting their Medicare Part D plan as well as other Medicare options through the Washington Hospital Health Insurance Information Service. The free, confidential, and unbiased service can help you get all the information you need to make informed decisions about your health insurance, including Medicare.

or the fifth year in a row, Washington Hospital is hosting its free Think Pink event to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Think Pink offers women the latest information on breast health as well as breast cancer screening guidelines and treatments. This year’s event is supported by a grant from Genentech. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Tent Atrium at Washington West – located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. Guest speakers at the program will include: * Surgeon Dr. William Dugoni, Medical Director of the Women’s Health Program at Washington Township Medical Foundation. Dr. Dugoni will provide an update on Washington Women’s Center’s nationally accredited Breast Center. • Washington Hospital Radiologist Dr. Mimi Lin, who will discuss breast cancer risk assessment screening and mammography guidelines. • Oncologist Dr. Vandana Sharma, Medical Director of Washington Hospital’s Genetics Counseling Program and Oncology Program. Dr. Sharma will discuss genetic testing and counseling, and prophylactic mastectomy for women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. • Dr. Vera Packard, Executive Director of the HERS Breast Can-
cer Foundation, who will offer a motivational presentation on “Embracing Change.” In addition, the event will feature 12-year breast cancer survivor Jennifer Tilton, who will share her own success story and her insights as a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the early age of 27. (See story below.) “Think Pink is a great opportunity for women to learn more about taking care of themselves and to talk with experts in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment,” says Ruth Traylor, Washington Hospital’s Director of Community Outreach. “In addition to presentations by our guest speakers, we will offer screenings for cholesterol and glucose levels, bone density testing to screen for osteoporosis, and blood pressure checks.” Traylor notes that participants at the Think Pink event also will have the opportunity to speak with representatives of various organizations, including: • The HERS Breast Cancer Foundation • The American Cancer Society • Drivers for Survivors, which provides no-cost rides to medical appointments • The Washington Women’s Center • The Washington Hospital Radiology Department • The Washington Township Medical Foundation In addition, the Think Pink event will offer various interactive activities for participants,
Young Survivor Savors Life After Breast Cancer At age 27, Jennifer Tilton had everything going for her. An energetic young teacher, she had just started a new job as the administrator of after-school programs for the Byron Union School District in Discovery Bay. She also was taking night courses to earn her administrative credential. Plus, she had an active social life and close family relationships, with her parents living in Discovery Bay and siblings not too far away. And then her life turned upside down. “I found a lump in my right breast,” she recalls. “I had never had a mammogram, since I was so young. My regular physician thought it was probably something benign, but he ordered both a mammogram and an ultrasound, because mammograms don’t always show things clearly in younger women.”
Washington Hospital's Fifth Annual Think Pink event will take place on Tuesday, October 15, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Tent Atrium at Washington West located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. Think Pink offers women the latest information on breast health as well as breast cancer screening guidelines and treatments.To register or for more information, visit whhs.com/think-pink or call (800) 963-7070.
and light refreshments will be served. “This year, we will be offering free chair massages to women who attend Think Pink,” says Washington Women’s Center Coordinator Laura Constantine, R.N. “Also, throughout October, we will offer a ‘Think Pink Special’ with 50-minute massages for only $50 at the Women’s Center. Our massage therapists are all oncology certified.” The Washington Women’s Center offers a variety of advanced diagnostic services as well as numerous wellness and sup-
port programs for women in the community. The Women’s Center was designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence in June 2012 by the American College of Radiology. The Women’s Center also is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a non-governmental not-for-profit organization established to identify and recognize breast centers that provide the best possible care to patients with breast disease. “At the Women’s Center, women with an abnormal screening mammography are able to
After reviewing the diagnostic screening images, her doctor referred her to William Dugoni, M.D., who is now Medical Director of the Women’s Health Program at Washington Township Medical Foundation. “Dr. Dugoni performed an excisional biopsy, taking out the lump,” Tilton explains. “The pathology report came back positive for breast cancer with a diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma.” Ductal carcinoma is the most common form of breast cancer. Unlike ductal carcinoma in situ, in which the cancer cells are confined within milk ducts in the breast, infiltrating (or invasive) ductal carcinoma involves cancer cells that have broken through the duct walls and moved into the surrounding tissue. “The margins around the edges of the biopsied tissue weren’t ‘clean,’ so I had to decide between a larger lumpectomy and a mastectomy,” Tilton says. “I chose the mastectomy because I wanted to be sure the cancer was all gone. Dr. Dugoni performed the mastectomy in May 2001, and since I planned to have reconstructive surgery later on, they inserted ‘tissue expanders’ to prepare for the subsequent reconstruction.”
Washington Hospital Seminar Offers Tips for Seasonal Success The holidays can be a difficult time for people with diabetes. The next three months will be filled with food minefields. Soon it will seem like candy, baked goods, and other high-carb foods are everywhere for the taking. But just like the rest of the year, people with diabetes have to be diligent about keeping their blood sugar levels under control despite the temptations. continued on page 9
Anna Mazzei, R.D., C.D.E., will offer tips for keeping your diabetes under control during the upcoming holidays when she presents “Seasonal Success for Diabetes Meal Planning” on Thursday, October 3, from 7 to 8 p.m. The seminar is part of Washington Hospital’s free monthly Diabetes Matters education series and will be held at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium, 2500 Mowry Ave. in Fremont. To learn more about Diabetes Matters and other diabetes programs at Washington Hospital, visit whhs.com/diabetes.
obtain diagnostic mammography within three days,” Constantine notes. “Sometimes we are able to get the patient in for a diagnostic mammography the same day. The median time from abnormal diagnostic mammography to diagnosis is seven days. In addition, the breast-conserving surgery reexcision rate at Washington Hospital is 8 percent, considerably lower than the national average of 23 percent.” To register to attend this year’s Think Pink event, or for more information, visit whhs.com/thinkpink or call (800) 963-7070.
Following her mastectomy,Tilton started six months of chemotherapy beginning in June. She underwent reconstructive surgery using saline implants in January 2002. Then in February she started seven weeks of radiation therapy, as well as hormone therapy with tamoxifen that she would continue for five years. “In December 2003, I opted to have a prophylactic mastectomy on my left breast, followed by reconstructive surgery in March the next year,” Tilton notes. “I simply wanted to make sure the cancer wouldn’t come back in the other breast. I also later had the saline implants replaced with gel implants.” While many cases of breast cancer in younger women may involve a genetic component, Tilton had no history of breast cancer in any of her first-degree relatives. She also had no other known breast cancer risk factors such as smoking. She decided to use her experience to encourage other women to learn more about breast cancer and take screenings seriously. continued on page 9

computed tomography (CT) scan that guides the surgeon.” Treatment and replacement of human joints, especially the knee, is a difficult process; not only is joint action in jeop-
curacy. Robotic assistance allows surgeons to replace just the damaged portion of a knee rather than the entire joint resulting in a safer, less traumatic procedure with faster recovery, less pain and extended re-
nel in the Operating Room, there is another powerful presence… a robotic assistant. The Mako Rio device guides the doctor through critically precise measurements to alignment bones, restoring and facilitating mobility. “It assists me to be more accurate,” says Ting. “A three dimensional re-creation of the knee and direct visualization of the surgical field is combined with precise ‘stereotaxic’ mapping” from a
ardy, but alignment with the rest of the body is crucial. As medical robotics has evolved, the art of medicine remains a human endeavor, but when precise measurements and data are required to assure success, robotic assistance can be the difference between unmitigated success and continued pain and suffering. Computer assistance can advise the surgeon of variances of less than 1 millimeter, assuring ac-
lief for the patient. Ting notes that, using this robotic device, he is able to perform an accurate “unicompartmental” knee operation on an outpatient basis, preserving much of the natural joint. Dr. Ting notes that the reason many medical facilities shy away from partial knee replacements is the accuracy dilemma and cost of a robotic assist device. His operating room is one of very few in the
Page 5
country with a Mako Reo device in house and Dr. Ting is one of a handful of surgeons with extensive training and experience to use it. Since the availability of robotic assistance for knee surgery is limited and there is a learning curve to master the symbiotic relationship of surgeon and device, most surgeons opt for total knee replacement. As a result, patients are often advised to wait until later years to undergo knee replacement surgery. Using the accuracy and assistance of the Rio, Dr. Ting is able to operate where few others are currently able to follow. “There is a learning curve with the Mako device. I did the first 35 operations with a Mako expert at my side; I knew it would take a while before I learned the nuances of the robot and how to apply it. Every knee is different. This device allows the surgeon to participate directly and accurately.” Time spent in the Operating Room can be brief for a partial knee replacement, under 60 minutes; patients go home the same day. Walking on the repaired knee is usually accomplished in less than a week and total recovery in 2-3 months. Recently Stryker Corporation, a wellknown medical device provider, acquired Mako Surgical for $1.41 billion to enter the robotic assisted surgery technology field. Stryker CEO Kevin Lobo was reported to say, “Mako’s robotic technology has longterm potential for human joint reconstruction.” Mako has also introduced robotic assistance for hip replacement surgery. For those who want to know more about this unique and innovative surgical approach to knee surgery, Dr. Ting will be speaking about Mako technology and demonstrating its abilities at DeVry University Saturday, October 5.

BY MARY LUNNING Experience a visual treat of fine art paintings depicting carousel horses, tree houses, landscapes, magicians, dragons, and so much more! Hayward
artist Ray McGinnis will exhibit over 30 paintings at the John O’Lague Galleria in the Hayward City Hall through November 26. A reception for the artist will be held Friday, October 4. To say that McGinnis creates unique art is an understatement. His best word of advice on drawing came from a musician friend of his who said, “start by drawing nothing and when it begins to look like something, you change it.” The premise being, if you start to draw a cow, and it does not look like a cow, then you feel like you failed, but if you draw from nothing, you cannot fail. Many of his “doodlings” have indescribable creatures and
settings that spring from the world of his imagination. They are often transposed onto a canvas and made into paintings. One such painting entitled “Express Yourself” garnered hundreds of votes to win best of show at the Alameda County Fair. It is a very large intricate painting with many figures moving in a fantasy world. McGinnis describes this painting as psychedelic. Tree houses are another favorite subject. Some of the titles to the tree house paintings are “Dog Tired,” “One If By Land” (a ship in a tree), “Flood Zone” (a Woodie station wagon in a tree), “Nature’s Lure” (the inside of a boy’s tree house), and “Morning Smoke” (a leprechaun smoking in his tree house). Most of McGinnis’s paintings take months to finish. His large landscapes such as “Sunset in Sedona” and “Lost in Sausalito” are lush with rivers, waterfalls, and trees that seem so real you feel you could step within the landscape and walk among the grass and flowers. “Timeless Antiques” is a portrait of a young child looking in wonder at a fishbowl in an antique store. “Niles Canyon Train” is a painting of the heritage railway running through Niles Canyon between Sunol and the Niles District of Fremont. Join us for an amazing journey - explore the surreal world of artist Ray McGinnis.

Learn about local wildlife, take a tour, do a nature craft and meet the animals. All ages are welcome! The center took in many injured and orphaned animals during the 2013 season. Among the wide variety of wildlife were hawks, owls, raccoons, wild rabbits, opossums, squirrels, foxes, wetland wildlife, and many species of California songbirds. Wildlife rehabilitation consists of rescuing and caring for native and non-native California wildlife species that are injured or orphaned. We determine injuries or illnesses, administer basic first aid, provide dietary needs, and offer appropriate housing. Once wildlife in our care has recovered, they are returned to the wild where they belong. As a volunteer-based, nonprofit organization, community and member support makes it possible for us to continue this valuable work year after year; it is greatly appreciated.

The Ohlone people represent over 58 unique cultural groups. “Ohlone” and “Ohlone country” were classifying terms anthropologists used to categorize the local peoples based on noted similarities among various tribal groups. Instead of one unified tribe, the region was extremely diverse, populated by many smaller groups between San Francisco and San Juan Bautista. With the influx of Spanish missionaries and the establishment of California missions, the population of native peoples began to decline. Where once over 20,000 Ohlone peoples lived, there are now fewer than 5,000. Today, the Ohlone people work through local organizations to bring awareness of local cultural history and preserve the ancient ways of their people. The Gathering is a unique forum to serve this purpose. The Gathering features activities for children and adults alike, craft demonstrations, lectures, slideshows, films, music, and dance. Beverly Ortiz, event coordinator and park naturalist, says that the greatest aspect of the Gathering is the personal sharing. “Individual Ohlone people will be present, sharing one-on-one about who they are. The Gathering provides an opportunity to get to know these people.”
Everyone is invited to attend and watch demonstrations of traditional methods of food preparation, taste Manzanita cider and acorn soup and, for a very modest fee, create an abalone pendant. Adults can learn how to build a fire with natural materials, while children create model tule boats based on historic drawings or join in a game of hoop-and-pole. Slideshow presentations and films will be shown indoors. Fry bread and Indian tacos will be sold, and guests are welcome to pack a picnic lunch. The event is free, though there is a small fee for parking. This annual Gathering is a local treasure, bringing to life California’s rich and varied history. Meet descendants of local Native peoples and learn about their history, culture, and traditions. It will be a day to remember!

Friday, September 20 At approximately 8:20 p.m., Officer Roberts was detailed to a business on Civic Center Dr. across from Kaiser where a witness saw a man attempt to throw a chair through a window. The alert witness called FPD and followed the man to BART where Officer Roberts then located him. The suspect, a 24 year old adult male, Hayward resident, was arrested for attempted burglary. Sunday, September 22 At approximately 9:30 p.m., a victim called 911 from a residence at the top of Morrison Canyon to report that they were trying to detain a suspect inside the residence. The caller had just gotten home and was noticing that the home was ransacked when they realized the suspect was still inside. While dispatch was on the line, the suspect broke free and another struggle ensued. East Bay Regional Parks called and said they were also sending officers as this property was their jurisdiction. Numerous officers responded code 3, but it took over 10 minutes to get to the remote area, approximately 1/4 mile up the road. Officers had to use bolt cutters to get into the gated property once they were able to locate it. Once they reached the home, the suspect was found inside the residence being held down by the victim. The suspect was combative and placed in a WRAP. EBRPPD arrived on the scene and assumed the investigation and transported the suspect to jail. Great coordination by FPD Dispatch and numerous officers in locating the residence and securing the scene as the victim was fighting the suspect for a very long time prior to our arrival. Monday, September 23 Officers responded to a residential burglary on the 1100 block of Olive Ave. The burglary occurred sometime during the night. Unknown suspects entered the home via a doggie door. Construction tools were taken. Tuesday, September 24 We responded to the Ardenwood area (34000 block of Wellman Terrace) just before 1:30 p.m. on the report of a
necklace/chain robbery. The victim called approximately 10 minutes after the incident occurred and reported that a Hispanic male adult, dark skinned, 6’, 160-180lbs, in his 20’s, wearing a grey sweatshirt and jeans, stole her necklace. The suspect fled the area after jumping a fence and was last seen walking northbound on Deep Creek Rd. Officers checked the area but could not locate the suspect. We received a verified alarm for commercial burglary at SS Commercial Landscape located on Osgood Rd. A male suspect cut a lock from the security gate to gain access. The alarm company utilized live video surveillance to monitor the suspect as he stacked his loot near his entry point. CSI Wilson and Officer Little were the only available units to respond. They confirmed hearing the suspect inside the fenced area. Newark PD assisted by sending two K9 units (Special thanks to Newark K9 Officers Jackman and Mavrakis!). After concluding the search up north, K9 Officer Layfield and additional FPD units responded to set a perimeter. The K9 search indicated the suspect fled north to the Tri-City Rock property. Newark’s K9s searched that property with negative results. Unfortunately, the suspect caught on to the police response and fled prior to our ability to set up containment. Suspect vehicle was located at the landscape business and towed as evidence. Detectives offered to follow up on the case with CSI Wilson. Wednesday, September 25 Civic Center/Washington Hospital (WTH) Driveway: A 74 year old female traveling eastbound in the crosswalk between WTH and WTH West was struck by a vehicle driving southbound on Civic Center. Impact caused the pedestrian to cartwheel over the car and land on the roadway. The pedestrian suffered major injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Investigated by Officer Er. Marcelino. At approximately 3:40 p.m. officers were dispatched to a report of loss prevention fighting with an adult male who had been detained for theft at FoodMaxx on the 39400 block of Fremont
Blvd. The man had entered the store and tried to steal a 24 oz. bottle of beer. Loss Prevention confronted the suspect and told him to give the alcohol back and leave. The suspect didn’t initially comply and attempted to threaten the Loss Prevention Officer, who was much bigger than he was. When he didn’t get his way, he began to spit in the face of the Loss Prevention Officer. Loss prevention was able to detain him until officers arrived. As officers attempted to make the arrest, the suspect continued to struggle. He made threats towards the officers and he was eventually restraining with a WRAP device and a spit hood. He was ultimately charged with robbery, threatening an officer, terrorist threats, resisting arrest, and a probation violation. Investigated by Officer Nordseth and FTO Dodson. The reporting party called 91-1 to report his business was being burglarized. The caller stated that he owns a business, located in two adjacent suites, in a business complex located on Enterprise St. The caller was inside one of his suites and said that he could hear the voices of a male and female inside his adjacent suite. As units were responding, the caller told dispatch the suspects were now trying to force open the door that connects the two suites. The caller then stated that he had armed himself with a handgun and was waiting for police. Several patrols units responded and established a perimeter. The caller was instructed to put away his firearm and evacuate himself to the officers. Instead, the caller came out with his handgun in his right pocket and his cocaine in his left pocket. A surround and callout / search of the business was negative for any suspects. There were several firearms lying around in plain sight. The 30 year old male adult, Fremont resident, was suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance and placed under arrest. Seized from the business were four weapons. Investigated by Officer Sasser. continued on page 25
5 arrested in California-Nevada recycling fraud AP WIRE SERVICE SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), California authorities have arrested five people who allegedly bought bottles and cans from recycling centers in Nevada and then redeemed them for cash in California, the California Department of Justice said Thursday. The suspects were charged with conspiracy, grand theft and recycling fraud as part of the scheme valued at more than $300,000, officials said. The five arrested – Gerardo Gomez-Vasquez, Magdalena Hernandez-Sebastian, Luis Aguirre-Alacon, Ludin Rosales-Valladares and Elfego Gonzalez-Ramos – are Nevada residents. Authorities say a sixth man, Argelio Hernandez-Torres, remains at large. Authorities say the group purchased large amounts of used aluminum and plastic beverage containers from Nevada recycling centers and took them to mini-storage units, where they were sorted, crushed and re-bagged. Group members then made multiple trips with 26-foot box trucks to California, where they redeemed the containers for cash at recycling centers in Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley. Agents seized about 10,000 pounds of aluminum and plastic beverage containers during the arrests. California charges a fee on the sale of soft drinks and beer to encourage recycling and reduce littering. The money goes into a state fund unless consumers redeem their beverage containers to get the fee back. Nevada does not charge such a fee. The state estimates that redemption of out-of-state containers costs California up to $50 million annually.

Young Survivor Savors Life After Breast Cancer “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I did drop out of night school for awhile, returning in 2004 to get my administrative credential,” she says. “I never stopped working, though, because working with active middle school students provided a welcome distraction. My diagnosis was a wake-up call for many of my female co-workers, and I encouraged them to get checked out. Mammograms aren’t necessarily needed for women as young as I was, but I am proof that breast self-exams are still valuable.” Now 39 years old and the principal at Jefferson Middle School in Tracy,Tilton also is proof that there can be a good quality of life after breast cancer. Cancer-free for 12 years, she
continues to have chest X-rays every three years. She also sees her regular physician, as well as her plastic surgeon, oncologist and Dr. Dugoni every year for thorough exams. She was married to her husband Paul in 2008, and they are the proud parents of two daughters – Madeline, age 4, and Claire, age 2. “I met Paul while I was a vice principal at College Park High School in Pleasant Hill and he was an economics and emergency medicine teacher,” she says. “He has since gone back into the Army Reserves, where he is a Captain.We weren’t sure I could get pregnant, but I had no problems getting pregnant.The girls are the joy of our lives.We were very lucky.”

Washington Hospital Seminar Offers Tips for Seasonal Success “For so many people, the holidays are all about eating,” said Anna Mazzei, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at Washington Hospital. “Food is everywhere, and that can be a problem for people with diabetes. But if you have diabetes, there are some steps you can take that will increase your chances of surviving the holidays without putting your health at risk.” Mazzei will offer tips for keeping your diabetes under control when she presents “Seasonal Success for Diabetes Meal Planning” on Thursday, October 3, from 7 to 8 p.m. The seminar is part of Washington Hospital’s free monthly Diabetes Matters education series and will be held at the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium, 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West), in Fremont. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or is not able to use it properly. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugars and starchy foods into energy. When this process doesn’t work properly, glucose (sugar) in the blood can get too high and lead to complications. What You Eat Matters “Everyone with diabetes knows that what you eat impacts blood sugar levels,” she said. “That’s why proper meal planning and portion control are so important.” Mazzei said it’s important to plan the meals and snacks you eat all year long. But with so many temptations during the holidays, it becomes much more critical. “Don’t use the holidays as an excuse to overeat,” she added. “Set up your home and work environments so they support your efforts. Don’t keep tempting treats around, and have healthy snacks on hand so you have an alternative to the high-carb, high calorie foods that are available during the holidays.” One way to avoid overeating at parties and other holiday gatherings is to eat something before you head out. If you arrive hungry, you are more likely to overeat, she said. “Don’t hang out around the buffet table,” Mazzei added. “It’s also a very bad idea to skip meals so can overdo it later. That will
wreak havoc on blood sugar.” She recommended checking blood sugar levels more often during the holidays, particularly if you are eating foods you don’t normally eat. That way you can monitor how the extra eating is affecting your diabetes and determine what you can and can’t get away with. If you do plan to indulge, step up your physical activity to help keep blood sugar under control, she added. Find ways to incorporate physical activity into your holiday plans. Focus on What is Important Another important theme of Mazzei’s talk is the need to focus on what is important during the holidays, whether it’s a particular food that is a special treat or managing expectations to keep stress levels down. “The holidays can be a stressful time, which often leads to overindulging in food and alcohol.” she said. “Evaluate what you want to accomplish during the holidays and be reasonable about what is really possible. Manage expectations. You can’t do it all.” When making food choices during the holidays, only eat the special treats that are important to you. Don’t eat food you could get any other time of the year. “Don’t eat it just because it’s there,” Mazzei added. “Spend your carbs wisely. Stick to the special holiday foods you really enjoy.” She will also talk about recipe modifications that can help you avoid overindulging. For example, you can reduce the amount of sugar in some recipes by using dried fruit or other sweeteners. Substituting low-fat dairy products can help cut calories and fat from many recipes. “The holidays should not undo all your good efforts during the rest of the year,” she said. “You can enjoy the holidays and still not overdo it. Eat a few treats you enjoy, but be selective. Stay focused on spending quality time with family and friends. Take a hike together or go ice-skating rather than just sitting around eating all the time.” To learn more about Diabetes Matters and other diabetes programs at Washington Hospital, visit www.whhs.com/diabetes.

History
T
he vast expanse of land between San Leandro Bay and Warm Springs Landing to the south are usually marked “salt marsh” on maps. This marshland provides a natural area for salt production, good as any place on Earth. The Ohlone gathered natural salt from the tide pools along San Francisco Bay. High tides would fill the pools and a hot summer sun would evaporate the water, leaving salt behind. The salt had to be gathered before high fall tides returned. Early Spanish explorers were led to a lagoon of salt water by the Ohlone; the only source of salt in the area. The padres gathered the natural salt and even set
Salt Works

with works at the mouth of Alameda Creek. The company purchased 1,000 acres around Rock island and became the
Occidental salt works
Pioneers gathered salt to meet their needs and began building dikes to trap the brine and increase the harvest. Isaac Long hauled crude salt from the old Mission salt fields in 1852, dividing the marshland into ponds. Windmill pumps moved the water from pond to pond. The salt was then picked up and stored in sheds. A tramway car connected the salt fields to the landing, where it was loaded onto ships. Competition drove the price of salt down from $50 a ton to $2 and Long could not make a profit; he sold his ponds to John Plummer in 1855. Salt gathering was a small industry until John Quigley improved the quality and began large-scale production at his Alvarado Salt Works in 1862. Quigley was listed as a salt maker at Warm Springs in an 1870 business directory, but Alvarado was his usual address. Quigley and Plummer were the ones usually mentioned in business directories. Quigley continued his independent operation until 1909. Plummer introduced new methods of salt production and shipped the first salt from wooden floors. He built his Crystal Salt Works near Mayhews Landing in 1864. It was the first mechanized salt operation in the Newark area, powered by windmills. Plummer and his sons, Charles and John Jr., purchased land east of Alvarado in 1868 and set up the Turk Island Salt Works. This property was developed until it was capable of producing
largest of the 19th century salt plants, employing about 100 men and producing 70,000 tons of salt in 10 years. Windmills powered a wheel that forced water up an incline to an adjacent pond a foot or two higher. There were 15 flood gates to admit bay water into receiving ponds. Six crystallizing ponds produced 200 tons apiece, and special elevated wood pans led to table salt production. The salt was ground in a mill by corrugated granite rollers driven by a portable steam engine. Then it was stored in stacks of 200 to 1,200 tons for one rainy season to harden and whiten. The principal salt works in 1876 were the Union Pacific near Union City Slough, Quigley’s near Barron’s Landing and Plummer’s Crystal Salt Works at Mayhews Landing. Salt making was the fifth most important commercial enterprise in the township. The 1878 Atlas pictured the operation of the Union Pacific Rock Island Salt works, as well as the Alvarado Salt works of John Quigley. Crystal Salt Works ranked second in production to the Union Pacific. There were numerous smaller operations, and altogether, the industry employed hundreds of men and huge amounts of capital. Continental Salt and Chemical Company organized in 1900 and built a salt works north of Coyote Hills Slough; the operation could process 200 tons a day. The California Salt Company built a plant west of Coyote Hills,
joined forces and incorporated in 1924 as the Leslie-California Salt Co. They combined manufacturing plants and did their refining at Alvarado. Arden Salt Co. started with a small plant at Dumbarton Point and expanded to 5,000 acres near Newark. Arden bought other companies and by 1935 was producing as much salt as all other producers in California. Arden and Leslie merged in 1936 to create the Leslie Salt Company and became the largest landholder in the South Bay. In 1941 Leslie built a $1 million dollar plant. The investment of Morton and Leslie in the Newark area totaled more than $7 million. In 1978, Cargill Salt acquired Leslie in the largest real estate deal in the Bay Area’s history. Cargill is continuing the tradition of harvesting San Francisco Bay solar salt. The annual crop has reached over 500,000 tons. Salt is used in a variety of ways from salt shakers to water conditioning to de-icing winter roads. The art of salt production has been improved by technologies that require less land to produce a higher quality salt. Cargill has been able to set aside thousands of acres of salt ponds for habitat preservation.

Calif. becomes laboratory for Affordable Care Act BY TOM VERDIN ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), A national health policy nonprofit on Thursday announced it is making California the focal point of a long-term research project to examine whether the Affordable Care Act lives up to expectations for the uninsured. The Kaiser Family Foundation released the initial results of interviews with 2,000 randomly selected Californians who had lacked health insurance for at least two months. The study will follow the respondents for two years, as they examine their options under the federal health care law. The act reaches its most notable public milestone Tuesday when the exchanges that act as marketplaces for insurance shopping open for business. The initial study, conducted from mid-July to the end of August, found a relatively favorable response regarding expectations, with about 40 percent of those who are uninsured believing the Affordable Care Act will improve their ability to get affordable health insurance. Yet it also found a huge communication gap between the law’s boosters and those who could benefit from it: About seven in 10 uninsured Californians told researchers they did not have enough information to understand how the law will affect their families. California is home to roughly 15 percent of the nation’s uninsured residents. About 7 million people in the state were without health insurance at some point in 2012, including about 6 million adults. Of that number, 5.5 million
are expected to be able to participate in the health insurance exchange in California based on their income and immigration status, according to data contained in the Kaiser report from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. High costs and loss of a job were the most frequented reasons cited for going without health insurance. California represents a credible laboratory to study the effects of the federal law because of its sheer size and diversity, and because the state has embraced the Affordable Care Act, said Mollyann Brodie, director of survey research at Kaiser Family Foundation headquarters in Menlo Park. The state’s health benefits exchange, called Covered California, is seen as a bellwether for the rollout of open enrollment nationwide. While the uninsured and selfinsured can begin enrolling Tuesday, actual coverage starts Jan. 1. Brodie said the nonprofit developed the study as a way to create an independent and objective picture of the law’s consequences, rather than having its effects seen through the lens of just a few individuals. The idea was to track “what’s really happening’’ through a representative group of uninsured. “We feel like it’s the only way really to assess the impact of the law on real people’s lives – to talk to them and let them have a voice in telling us how it’s working for them or not working for them,’’ she said. Kaiser’s initial survey found widespread confusion about the law. Nearly three-quarters of uninsured Californians who
would be eligible for government subsidies to buy insurance did not know they were eligible or believed they would be ineligible. The subsidies, which can greatly lower the cost of insurance for lower-income people, will be available on a sliding scale to individuals making up to $45,960 a year or a family of four with an annual income $94,200. Nearly half of those whose incomes were low enough to qualify for Medicaid coverage didn’t know it or thought they were not eligible. Medicaid will cover individuals whose incomes top out at $15,400 a year, or a family of four with an annual income of about $31,000. More than 40 percent of the uninsured were unaware that the law includes a penalty for those who do not obtain health insurance, starting out at a minimum of $95 a year but rising to at least $695 by 2016. Even when informed of the penalty, four of every 10 uninsured Californians said they still would not get coverage or that their decision would depend on the cost. Anthony Wright, director of the nonprofit Health Access California, said those initial results weren’t surprising given the level of attacks by opponents of the Affordable Care Act. He expects that to change once people begin shopping for insurance on the exchanges and can see what the law means for them. “The political question is, `What side are you on?’ It’s a very different question to say, ‘How do I benefit and what are my new health care options now?’’’ he said. “That can change the dynamics.’’

Google, the Silicon Valley based Internet company, becomes Solar Impulse’s official Internet Technology Partner. To commemorate this, Solar Impulse will take their Google+ URL (google.com/+solarimpulse) to new heights on the side of their Swiss Solar Impulse airplane. This formal partnership is an important step in bringing Solar Impulse closer to its ultimate goal of flying around the world using only solar energy (2015). Swiss pioneers Bertrand Piccard (Chairman) and André Borschberg (CEO) are the founders, pilots and the driving force behind Solar Impulse, the first airplane that can fly day and night without fuel. Solar Impulse is a unique adventure that aims to bring emotions back at the heart of scientific exploration, a flying lab-
oratory to find innovative technological solutions for today’s challenges and a vision to inspire each of us to be pioneers in our everyday lives. This revolutionary carbon fibre airplane has the wingspan of a Boeing 747 (63.4m / 208 ft) and the weight of a small car (1,600kg / 3,527 lb). It is the result of seven years of intense work, calculations, simulations and tests by a team of about 80 people and 100 partners and advisors. A plane so big and light has never been built before. The 12,000 solar cells built into the wing provide four 10HP electric motors with renewable energy. By day the solar cells recharge the 400kg / 881 lb lithium batteries which allow the plane to fly at night. According to Dr. Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, Co-
Founders of Solar Impulse “this partnership is a unique occasion to promote mutually shared values like pioneering spirit, innovation, engineering excellence and clean technologies allowing to protect natural resources. With Google on board, our reach with the public, younger generations, media and political and business decision makers will be significantly enhanced”. The partnership comes out of the successful collaboration between Google and Solar Impulse this past summer during the Across America Mission. Solar Impulse will continue to leverage its multimedia and online activities across various Google platforms including YouTube, Google+, Google Glass and Google Earth in order to better communicate with its supporters.

A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection your-
self if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.SellitForMore.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-597-5259 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

SUBMITTED BY FRANK ADDIEGO September 11, 2013 marked the twelfth anniversary of the infamous attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Caught in the plot to spread terror throughout the world, passengers of United Airlines flight 93 fought back, valiantly exchanging their lives in an attempt to save others. A memorial in
Union City stands as a testament to their heroic actions. At this year’s commemorative ceremony, Union City Mayor Carol DutraVernaci noted the presence of representatives from United Airlines, families of fallen soldiers, and families of those in Flight 93. Michael Emerson, a Hayward resident and veteran of the first Gulf War,
The Douglas Morrisson Theatre (DMT) is excited to announce the fourth production in the 2013-2014 “Bare Bones” staged reading series: “BOB: A Life in Five Acts” by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, a quirky comic chronicle of the highly unusual life of Bob and his lifelong quest to become a “Great Man.” Bob is born and abandoned in the bathroom of a White Castle fast food restaurant. From a tender age, he’s sure that he is supposed to be a “Great Man” – if he could just figure how. Thus begins Bob’s extraordinary trek across America, where he encounters a myriad of weird and wonderful characters, experiences love and loss, hardship and fortune, the whole gamut of life. Wideeyed Bob soaks “everything up like a roll of Bounty.” Nachtrieb’s “BOB” is a hilarious and poignant exploration of American Mythology, and the pursuit of happiness. “BOB: A Life in Five Acts” was originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory, and developed with the support of the Playwrights Foundation in San Francisco. The play won the 2010 Barrie and Bernice Stavis Award from the National Theatre Conference, and received its world premiere in March 2011 at the Humana Festival at Actors Theatre of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, directed by Sean Daniels. Peter Sinn Nachtrieb is a San Francisco-based playwright whose works include “Boom,” “T.I.C. (Trenchcoat In Common),”
promoted construction of the memorial after seeing a lack of acknowledgement for the flight in early 9/11 memorials in 2002. “In July [of that year], I actually flew out to New York to Ground Zero,” he said during the ceremony, “I was a little frustrated because nobody spoke about Flight 93.” “[The passengers] more than likely knew their fate, and banded together,” said
ATCA/Steinberg New Play Award, 2007 Will Glickman Prize), “Colorado,” and “Litter: The True Story of the Framingham Dodecutuplets.” His work has been seen offBroadway and across the country including locally at A.C.T., Encore Theatre, Killing My Lobster, Marin Theatre Company, Impact Theatre, and The Bay Area Playwrights Festival. Director Jeffrey Hoffman has been directing and acting in the Bay Area for the past 11 years. He is thrilled to return to the Douglas Morrisson Theatre, having played Chris Keller in last year’s production of “All My Sons.” Other recent directing credits include “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ” at Boxcar Theatre and “Cat’s-Paw” at Dragon Theatre, and he was seen on stage in the Bay Area premiere of Jon Marans’ “The Temperamentals” and the world premiere of Brad Erickson’s “American Dream,” both at the New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco. “BOB” will have one performance, Tuesday, October 8 at 8 p.m. at the Douglas Morrisson Theatre in Hayward and is appropriate for ages 15 and up. Tickets are $10 (open seating), and are available through the Box Office at (510) 881-6777 or online at www.dmtonline.org.

Mayor Dutra-Vernaci, “That’s the definition of a hero.” “It makes me personally proud,” said Commander Jared Rinetti of the Union City Police Department, “after so many years, people are still showing respect for all the people who lost their lives.” Currently, the City of Hayward is planning a 9/11 memorial of its own with Emerson at the helm.

Letter to the Editor
Frustrated with red tape Almost two years ago I was laid off from my job in the video game industry. With no job prospects in sight, and as a matter of survival, I began to teach art to children. My kids are creating amazing stuff and the parents are thrilled with the quality of the kids work. At the suggestion of the parents, I approached the local libraries and schools with hopes they would allow me to post or distribute information about my art instruction services. Do you know what I was told? I was told that because I charged for my services I was not allowed to post or distribute my information. Are you kidding me? Since when did towns like Fremont and Newark decide that it wasn’t necessary to support the arts? Let’s face it, it’s not as though I’m distrib-
uting information on landscaping and yard services. I’m simply a small business trying to let families know that their children can do something fun and creative after school with their time. It seems to me that the local schools and public facilities should make an exception for visual arts, music and dance. And while my services are not free, I do offer a free trial class with no obligation so potential students can get a feel for my class before enrolling. This insanity should be put in the spotlight so residents are aware that their community services are not doing them any favors. I need the Voice to give me a voice! Eric Calande Newark

THEATRE REVIEW BY JULIE GRABOWSKI PHOTO BY ERIK SCANLON What does it take to produce a successful play? Some would say mature actors, a smart and capable director, a solid story, the ability to hit cues, and connect with the audience. But in “Noises Off,” alcohol, sardines, nose bleeds, death threats, an axe, and falling trousers work just fine! A farce within a farce, Michael Frayn’s “Noises Off” follows the life of a play and its players from a frustrated late-night tech rehearsal to backstage antics during a midweek matinee to the final, desperate performance at the end of the run. Curtain Call Performing Arts closes their 2012/2013 season with an ambitious and memorably hilarious hit. “Words, doors, bags, boxes, sardines, us!” fumes actor Garry during a rehearsal for the farce “Nothing On.” The ill-prepared cast is hours away from their opening night and are strug-

Double farce ends Curtain Call season on a high note gling with their props and performances. With hints of inter-cast romances and impending doom for the play, “Noises Off” falls into rapid decline, which is when all the fun begins.
the show is a full-body workout with no nerves spared. Running, climbing, hopping, flower flinging, and axe swinging are just some of the cardio happening backstage in a scene that
The second act opens with “great dramas in the dressing room” as personal issues have begun to infiltrate the show and compromise everyone involved. The chaos behind the scenes as the cast strives to pull off
showcases the actors at their finest. By the third act, the play has reached the end of its tour and the cast is in tatters, desperately trying to make it through the final show with horrific mishaps and mistakes at
every turn. But no amount of effort and improvisation can repair the damage and the unintelligible nightmare must end. Director Erik Scanlon makes well-orchestrated music of the madness and deftly steers a great ensemble cast comprised of Kim Doppe (Dotty), Kendall Tieck (Lloyd), Josh Milbourne (Garry), Lauren Rosi (Brooke), Caroline Schneider (Poppy), Justin DuPuis (Frederick), Anne Milbourne (Belinda), LavaleWilliam Davis (Tim), and Bruce Kaplan (Selsdon). An unarguably challenging play for actors, the Curtain Call crew hits all their marks and pulls off the ongoing shenanigans with great energy, skill, and compatibility. With everyone so intertwined and all getting their fair share of the humorous action it’s difficult to pull standouts. However, Lauren Rosi as the contact losing, over-acting Brooke always draws the eye, and not because she spends most of the show in her underwear. Rosi’s expressions and undeterred mannerisms when acting as Vicky are priceless. Justin DuPuis can work nose bleeds and trouser troubles to great comic effect as Frederick as well as generate
a sympathetic and endearing vibe, and Josh Milbourne handles his verbal and physical workout as Garry with skill and confidence. And you have to give a hand to all those plates of sardines (no animals were harmed in the making of this play). The wheeled set is a clever design by Mark Mendelson, which allows the living room setting to fold up, spin around, and open again so viewers experience both the front and back of the stage set. Kudos go to the rest of the artistic and production team for making “Noises Off ” a welloil machine of disaster. Of his visit to the theatre character Lloyd says, “I’ve come to be taken out of myself and preferably not put back again.” While not much can be done about the putting back part, “Noises Off ” will definitely take your feet off the ground for a while and shoot you into a realm of completely audacious absurdity.

THEATRE REVIEW
BY JULIE GRABOWSKI “Will the future ever arrive?... Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold, lost as it is in the depths, small, isolated, a pin-point, brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it; nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the cloud.” Victor Hugo Beloved the world over through book, stage, and screen, “Les Miserables” is a powerful story of redemption, love, friendship, forgiveness, and the struggle to make a better life. Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, the musical debuted on Broadway in 1987 and has become the longest-running musical in the world. A movie version was released in 2012, garnering multiple Academy Award nominations and reaching a wider audience, launching a new generation of fans. Jean Valjean is a French peasant who is convicted for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister’s son. After 19 years on a chain gang he is paroled but must live his life branded as a convict, doomed as an outcast for the remainder of his days. When he is befriended by a kind bishop, Valjean responds by stealing his silver, but is shocked when the man gives him the candlesticks he had left behind and absolves him of his crime. In the light of this mercy and forgiveness, Valjean decides to live as a new man. He breaks his parole, changes his name, and becomes a respected and wealthy factory owner and mayor. But he lives in fear of being discovered by the relentless Inspector Javert who believes that no man ever changes and deserves to be marked forever by his crimes. Set against the backdrop of a nation gripped by political unrest and impending revolution, “Les Miserables” is a tremendously moving and emotionally charged experience that one will not forget.
A large undertaking for a small theatre company, Stage 1 Theatre presented the classic musical to a full house on opening night and had the audience on their feet. An impressively solid and able production, the show was carried by a cast of incredible voices that rose to the challenge. Robert Lopez (Marius) and Brian Palac (Enjolras) gave the finest performances of the evening, combining their top-notch voices with a true passion and embodiment of their characters. Lopez’s Marius is powerful and touching, completely on point from top to bottom, beginning to end. The passion and vibrancy of Palac is chill inducing; he can lead whatever army he chooses. Russell Crowe could have picked up some tips from Jess Martinez’s Javert; Martinez maintains the immovability of the Inspector while allowing the emotion of his hunt and moral struggle to break through. He carries himself very well in both act and song, and is moving in the number “Stars.” Dean Christman is a great Jean Valjean vocally but the character seems
to get away from him at times; there is a lack of physical involvement and emotion necessary to make a truly compelling and heart-wrenching Valjean. Angela Busgano is the small girl with a big voice as the love-lorn Eponine and is an impressive delight with every note. Piper Sperske is a precious Little Cosette and does a wonderful job in “Castle on a Cloud.” With such a heavy story, a little comedic refreshment is always good and Belinda Maloney brings laughs as Madame Thenardier, complimented by Elmer Strasser as the master of the house. Standouts from the fantastic score include “At the End of the Day,” “Who Am I?” “Red and Black,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?” “A Heart Full of Love” with impressive range from Cara Wodka as Cosette, “One Day More,” “On My Own,” and “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.” Stage 1 has conquered the heavy task they set for themselves and succeed in delivering a rousing and impressive “Les Miserables” that is sure to have people talking, and singing. Tickets are $24 for adults, $22 for seniors 62 and up and college students with ID, and $12 for students 17 and under. Groups of 10 or more are $20 per person for the same performance.

Fremont Police Log A 27-year-old female was walking on Bay St. when a male suspect, described as a black male adult, 20-25 yrs., heavy set, wearing a black sweatshirt and dark blue jeans, pulled her purse away from her. The victim ran after the suspect and grabbed his shirt. The suspect then elbowed the victim in the face and got away with the purse. Window smash on Warm Springs Ct. Loss included the surveillance system, a stainless steel ice machine, and dining room chairs. Investigated by Officer Settle. Thursday, September 26 Reporting party called to say that they just noticed their vehicle was missing from their residence at the Riviera Apartments on the 46700 block of Crawford Street, at approximately 7:15 p.m. The vehicle taken was a 1995 white Honda Civic 4-door with a license plate of 3PBC960. About two minutes after the above noted call, at 7:17 p.m., a reporting party called to say that a vehicle was stolen about three minutes prior from the 39000 block of Logan Drive.

Tri-City Stargazer OCTOBER 2 – OCTOBER 8, 2013 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: This month of October is likely to be truly significant in the lives of everyone. There are two eclipses, a Mercury retrograde, and the 4th exact crossing of the Uranus/Pluto square that occurs before the end of the month. Brace yourself for challenge in current events as well as shifts and shocks in
our personal lives. Mercury, ruler of business, communications, and everyday routines, will turn retrograde on Oct. 21. Now is the time for the yellow caution light to begin. Prior to the exact retrograde, Mercury gives the appearance of slowing its motion before it actually makes the turn. Mercury's retro-
Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20): You are standing “between a rock and a hard place.” Forces that are out of your reach have control. It is best to take no initiatives in any direction, lest whatever Powers That Be focus attention on you. It is entirely possible that you are a pawn in someone’s chess game. You will need to remain quiet for a few weeks.
Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21): Your mind and heart are clearly in sync at this time. You are likely at peace with yourself. There is a solid and practical solution at hand and you do not have to quarrel with yourself over it. Activities involving your children and/or other creative products of your being are favored. Love life flows smoothly.
Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): If you feel a sudden need to “cut and run” from a relationship, this is probably the time. It may not be permanent so don’t burn your bridges just yet. Have a cool off period and then evaluate whether either of you is attempting to manipulate or pressure the other. If you really do not want to break it off, then return to the situation with honesty.
Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22): Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are the qualities prominent this week. You may be the one who feels rebellious and wants to be left alone. If you have legal issues, it is best to stay within the precise limits allowed. Words may fall out of your mouth when you least expect it. Think carefully before you speak.
Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): Following the good health advice that comes your way this month will yield positive results. You may want to rebel in any number of ways, but remaining within the norms are best at this time and you know that is true. Organizing files, closets and cabinets will help clear the clutter from your mind.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): Day to day life is favorable at present. There are no big conflicts between you and anyone of importance. Social life is favored with partner, friends, and neighbors. Short trips to interesting nearby places could prove refreshing and educational. Contractual agreements are favored now.
Libra the Scales (September 23October 22): It is probable that others in your life may be erratic. Partner(s), clientele, good friends, and even professionals may be far less reliable than you would like. If this has already started, then do your best to choose activities that depend only upon yourself for a short time. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): You have a tightrope to balance this week. It is important to use self-discipline and professionalism in your presentation. However, it is also best not to compete with the Powers That Be in your life. Accept your position as a Worker Bee for now and do your personal best to fulfill the role. Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): Venus enters your sign this week and will be traveling "with you" through Nov. 4. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. Often when Venus is prominent we become more interested in anything which adds beauty to our lives.
grade purpose is to pressure us to slow down, think and rethink everything, before proceeding with plans. It is ideal for those who meditate and who are working on self-study. It is not favorable for moving forward with important new plans because we will inevitably find something in error as we proceed.
Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Your power of concentration is deep at this time. It is important that you use it for the good in your life rather than in self-criticism and obstructive thinking. If you cannot stop the negative self-talk, then focus on something else that is totally neutral. Walk the dog. Wash dishes. Move your body in order to shift away from negative thinking. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): In the big picture you may be struggling between that which is conservative, or the norms versus new systems that might be better. Think of this broadly in your life. It could also be described as routines versus shake ups. New
ideas may be trying to enter your picture while you cling to the way things always have been. Pisces the Fish (February 19March 20): Give special attention to your health early in the week and by next week you will be fine. Pisceans are prone to allergies. If you feel “off,” consider whether antihistamines might be of help. You may be prone to overindulge over the weekend, whether that be with life’s goodies or with money. If money is an issue, leave the credit card at home.

Fees, Taxes and Service Charges
PUBLISHER EDITOR IN CHIEF William Marshak DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Sharon Marshak
WILLIAM MARSHAK
I
n government, it is often difficult to keep up with rising costs of personnel and materials without tacking on additional costs - fees, taxes and service charges - to residents, visitors and local businesses. A recent discussion by the Hayward City Council regarding fees proposed for establishments serving alcoholic beverages created an interesting dialogue. Staff proposed a fee schedule that balanced income, management and service costs. Unfortunately, the mathematical solution was difficult to defend when social factors were introduced. Primarily, how do you reward “responsible” businesses and penalize others who require additional policing and subvert City growth potential, encouraging dangerous and unhealthy environments? Basic service costs including staff, enforcement and administration must support a system of governance. Who is responsible for the necessary base income? Hayward is also considering a new and badly needed community health
center adjacent to a Fire Station #7 and a “21st Century Library.” All laudable goals, but funds to make them a reality are, so far, missing. When politicians raise expectations, the source of funds to achieve them should also be identified. Much of what is discussed at some meetings are details without equal attention focused on revenue. I believe in grand ideas and lofty community visions, but traveling side-by-side with the dreamers, we need public and private tacticians, and City staff to make it happen. Raising hope and anticipation without a concomitant action plan can end in disappointment and disaffection. Our leaders in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento have proven this over and over, sinking to new lows in public respect and recognized accomplishment. As our communities enter an era of growth (if Washington and Sacramento bureaucrats don’t sink our country in a morass of mediocrity and ineptitude) many traditional municipal methods of raising funds may be challenged. For instance, gas taxes have been a stable source of income, swiped by the State during the past fiscal crisis, but with the emergency of hybrid and electric vehicles, alternatives must be found. Infrastructure requirements of roads and bridges remain, but traditional sources of revenue are declining. Is it fair to place the majority of tax on those who cannot afford newer, alternative energy cars? The same type of debate is raging over health care legislation and who should carry the bur-
den of poorly distributed resources. Simplistic answers of increased taxes, fees and service charges are typically disproportionately assessed and avoid underlying factors. Playwright George Bernard Shaw wrote in 1921, “You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?” Robert F. Kennedy paraphrased the sentiment during his campaign for President in 1968, “Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say, why not?” Local leaders need to temper promises with intermediate goals that can be achieved within a reasonable timeframe. Unlike some utilities such as PG&E that surreptitiously tack on fees and charges that are nothing more than creation of additional revenue to offset losses and escalating costs, our local government must operate in the limelight of local scrutiny and review. To reach loftier dreams, each community must look within its own tax base to see whether proposed goals and dreams are worthy of funding through development bonds, grants and private resources. We can realize our goals if commitment starts with the community.

Auto theft suspects arrested SUBMITTED BY SGT. HUY TRAN, MILPITAS PD On Tuesday, September 17, at approximately 3:27 a.m., two Milpitas police officers on patrol in the area of Landess Avenue and Piedmont located a stolen 1995 Mazda MPV van and a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta sedan traveling together. The Mazda was reported stolen to San Jose Police Department and the Volkswagen sedan was recently stolen out of San Jose but was unreported. When officers attempted to stop both vehicles, the suspects abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot on the 2000 BK of Alviso Adobe Ct. The Volkswagen ended up colliding with a PG&E power pole causing minor damage. Milpitas police officers quickly set a perimeter, and after a yard-to-yard search of the residences, on the 2000 blk of Alviso Adobe Ct., officers found both suspects hiding in two separate backyards. The suspects were identified as Joshua Doyle, a parolee for lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, and Robert Romo a probationer for auto theft. Both suspects were from the City of San Jose. Both suspects were booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for auto theft, resisting arrest, driving on a suspended license and for violating their parole and probation. Romo was also booked for hit-and-run. Anyone with any information regarding this investigation or other similar incidents occurring in our city is encouraged to call the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Information can be given anonymously by calling the Crime Tip Hotline at (408) 586-2500 or via the Milpitas Police Department website at: http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/police/crime_tip.asp

Pioneers Cornered by Otters Women’s Soccer SUBMITTED BY SCOTT CHISHOLM September 27 Cal State East Bay finished Friday night on the short end of a 1-0 result to conference foe Cal State Monterey Bay at Pioneer
Stadium. A second half score from Otters junior Jami Murray was courtesy of one of nine corner kicks by the visiting side. CSUMB’s Sherene Thompson’s inward swinging corner kick to the near post was redirected by the head of teammate Jami Murray. Her near post header was her team leading fifth goal of the season and first game-winner this year.

Heading into the night, both teams were looking for three points to climb up the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) standings. Early on it was East Bay (1-6-0, 1-4-0 CCAA) on the attack and creating scoring chances. Freshman Megan Ravenscroft provided the most promising chance with her one-on-one opportunity with a run up the right
side. Her attempt was saved at close range by the right foot of Otters keeper Lily Garza. Five of the Pioneers six shots came within the opening 24 minutes of play. Garza made three saves to earn her first win and solo shutout of the season. From that point on it was Monterey Bay (3-3-1, 2-2-1 CCAA) whom controlled the action. The Otters earned nine cor-
League play begins
SUBMITED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Mission Valley Athletic League play has begun and this year promises to be exciting. In an opening league match September 27, the Irvington Vikings met Newark Memorial’s Cougars and emerged triumphant 23-7. Things looked good for the Cougars early on as they scored first in the second quarter of play when Newark’s Franco Napal followed a great block into the End Zone to make the score 6-0. The game began to slip away from the Cougars as Irvington took control and never looked back. The Viking offense showcased its strength with trap blocking and holes in the Cougar defensive line began to appear. Irvington moved the ball 80 yards and scored when quarterback Andrew Trujillo took the ball into the End Zone for a 7-6 lead. Runner and the offence took off as they move ball 80 years The Viking defense put the hammer down in the third quarter, making great defensive plays in the secondary, taking away Cougar scoring opportunities. Setting up great field position for the offense, Jared Lozoya led the way for the Vikings. The end came for Newark when Trujillo found Daniel and then Andre Vickers to move the ball into scoring range with just 4 minutes left in the game. Randon Navarro marched the ball into the End Zone to ice the game for the Vikings. It was a big day for Irvington Viking teams as it has been 21 years since both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams have beat Newark. Other MVAL scores on opening night: Washington Huskies beat Mission San Jose Warriors 42-0. Husky Quarterback Tylan Vinson had a great night with four TDs. Kennedy Titans beat Moreau Catholic Mariners 36-14. The Titans put on an offensive clinic in the second half, scoring 30 points.
ner kicks including six in the second half. The continued pressure by their front line eventually paid dividends. CSUEB goalkeeper Donna Williams halted a one-on-one scoring chance for Murray in the seventh minute. Pioneers freshman Jessica Loya prevented another goal after clearing Kristen Womack’s header off a corner in the 81st minute.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Climate Change The year 2012 marked the hottest year on record and it looks as though 2013 is going to result in temperatures that are just as hot in many parts of the nation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that a rise in serious hurricanes will accompany the rising temperatures in 2014. Extreme weather conditions and rising temperatures are not only impacting the environment but also are costing taxpayers money. Superstorm Sandy, wildfires on the West Coast and a drought in the Midwest cost US taxpayers over 100 billion dollars last year. Yet government officials throughout the nation, even here in California continue to deny the existence of climate change. Representative Jeff Denham (CA-10) was quoted: “Some wouldn’t view them as skeptics. Some would view them as the right side of the issue. We don’t have complete factual information yet. From what I have seen the Earth has heated and cooled on its own for centuries. I don’t know that there’s anything that is a direct cause of that right now, but we can do a better job of cleaning up our planet.”
Has our climate changed before? Absolutely! Nobody disagrees with that. But arguing that humans aren’t the cause of climate change today is like arguing humans can’t cause forest fires because they’ve been started by natural causes in the past. Basic physics tells us something important: Climate change happens for a reason. Some past changes in the climate were driven by the sun burning brighter or by an increase in volcanic activity. That’s not the case now. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that humans are causing most of today’s climate change by burning dirty fossil fuels and sending carbon pollution into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate. Visit RealityDrop.org to get the facts or WhatILove.org to see how climate change affects the things you can’t live without. Albert Park Newark

Castro Valley Elementary School receives national recognition SUBMITTED BY ALLISON BORMEL U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (CA-15) congratulated Jensen Ranch Elementary School in Castro Valley for being named a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education. Just 15 schools in California received this award. [Editor’s note: Joshua Chadbourne Elementary School of Fremont also received this honor] “I applaud the faculty, staff and students at Jensen Ranch Elementary School in Castro Valley on this well-deserved national honor,” said Rep. Swalwell. “Schools like Jensen Ranch provide an exemplary education to our children and spark a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. This award is a reflection of the hardworking teachers and staff at Jensen Ranch and our community’s commitment to a stellar education system.” “The entire Jensen Ranch community is so very proud to be recognized as a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School,” said Melodie Stibich, Principal of
Jensen Ranch Elementary. “I personally feel extremely fortunate to be part of the Jensen Ranch family and Castro Valley Unified School District. It truly is an exceptional place to work, learn, and grow. Our parents and staff are completely dedicated to see our students reach their highest potential and we strive to create well-rounded, high-achieving students. It is the driving force behind everything we do, and it is exciting to see our efforts acknowledged!” Founded in 1982, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where significant improvements are being made in students’ academic achievement. This year, 286 schools nationwide were named 2013 Blue Ribbon Schools. Two representatives from Jensen Ranch are invited to Washington, DC for the November 18 and 19 Recognition Ceremony, where the school will receive a National Blue Ribbon Schools plaque and a flag to fly over the school to signify its status.

Senate approves spinal cord injury research bill SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA On September 9, 2013, the state Senate unanimously approved a bill by Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) to fund the Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Program administered at the University of California, Irvine. The bill, AB 714, passed 39-0 and now goes to Governor Brown. The Governor has until Oct. 13 to take action on the bill. “This bill has enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the Legislature because it promotes state of the art research into spinal cord injuries and helps leverage additional funding from the National Institutes of Health and foundations,” Wieckowski said. AB 714 directs $1 million from the general fund to restore funding to the program, which was created by the state Legislature in 2000. Budget cuts eliminated state funding during the recession. Over the years, the program has attracted roughly $5 in federal funds for every $1 spent in state funds.
Researchers, primarily from public and private universities in California, apply for Roman Reed research grants. Discoveries through this research have resulted in new robotic devices to help patients recover movement, and advancement of new drugs to pre-clinical trials. The discoveries made through this research also inform our understanding and treatment of diseases like multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, Parkinson’s disease, and many more. The program is named after Fremont Planning Commissioner Roman Reed, who was paralyzed in a Chabot College football game. He is now a spinal cord research advocate who has helped increase research funding in states across the country. In the past three years top researchers from the state’s universities, as well as biotech organizations such as BayBio and the California Healthcare Institute, have expressed their support for Wieckowski’s efforts to refund the Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Program. Assemblymember Wieckowski’s district includes San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Fremont and Newark.

BY STEVE TAYLOR Sizzling meats: Check! Smoking guitars: Check! Cold craft beers: Check! Free entry and things to keep the kids busy: BIG check! The annual “Sausage & Suds Music Festival,” which has been described as “a little slice of Milwaukee with a Tri-City vibe,” returns this Sunday, October 6 to Downtown San Leandro. The familyfriendly event is produced each autumn by the non-profit San Leandro Downtown Business Association, a group of over 60 local businesses. As it has for over a decade, the event will be held on Parrott Street between Washington Avenue and E. 14th Street. Since it began in 1997, the “Sausage & Suds Music Festival” has evolved into a hometown tradition that now attracts as many as 8,000 people. The scheduled music line-up is as
mixed as, well, a good sausage. Fleetwood Mask, an epic Fleetwood MAC tribute band from Pleasanton starts cranking out the hits at noon. “Avance” is a massive, 13piece salsa ensemble that will get everyone moving when they kick off later in the afternoon. The Coburns would be considered the most conventional guitar band in the lineup; that is until the woman sawing on an accordion steps forward and takes over the set. The Spazmatics dish out rock music of the ‘70s and ‘80s as well as comedy gags, while solo “Tasche” croons out smooth R & B sounds. Like any block party you’ll find vendors selling a variety of food including roasted corn on the cob, kettle corn, roasted potatoes, and every possible permutation of combination of meats to form a “wurst,” which is German for “sausage.” The kids can have their own fun in the children’s play area with free attractions such as a climbing wall and bounce houses set up for the event. A free Zumba class will be held for all ages at 10 a.m. for those looking to offset their food and beer consumption.
Union City Notes SUBMITTED BY CITY OF UNION CITY Leisure Services’ before and after school program at the middle schools (Afternoons with Club Une) has almost completed the first month of the new school year which also included two minimum days! Daily activities include homework help and a variety of daily enrichment activities. The Club Une program started off strong with an average of 96 registrants per day. Alvarado Middle is heavily utilized with 50-70 participants per day. Cesar Chavez Middle is less utilized since the free Kid Zone program is also offered, but working parents whose children do not qualify for the free program appreciate having other supervised after school options available. Rodan Construction of Burlingame, CA will begin construction of the new restroom facilities at Seven Hills Park, Kennedy Park, Cesar Chavez Park, Towne Estates Park and will remodel the existing restroom at Contempo Park. They will begin the remodel of Contempo Park restroom and replacement of Cesar Chavez Park restroom on September 30,
SUBMITTED BY LISA BRUNER It’s that time of year again! Time for pencils and textbooks, classrooms and teachers, and of course the Club Z! Annual Achievement Award. Designed for students in grades 5-12, the Club Z! Annual Achievement Award allows students to showcase their talents and abilities for a chance to win cash for education! Students with all levels of talents and abilities, from all schools, have the opportunity to compete for awards totaling more than $10,000. Last year, hundreds of students across the nation were awarded money for school, textbooks, tutoring and much more thanks to
2013. They estimate that each restroom will take approximately two weeks to complete. The current schedule shows Town Estates starting on October 7, Seven Hills on October 14 and Kennedy on October 21, 2013. Temporary porta-potties will be provided during the construction period. The restrooms are currently being constructed off-site and will be delivered preassembled. The new restrooms will be ADA-compliant. This proj-

Festival goers should bring their photo I.D.’s for entry into the beer and wine garden. Though visitors can obviously find a wide variety of alcohol, organizers assure everyone attending that this event never “devolves into some kind of debauchery.” Major business sponsors of this year’s event are New Belgium Brewing, Aidells, Alameda County Industries, OSI Soft, Peterson Power Systems/CAT, Coca Cola, and Horizon Beverage Company. The festival encourages the use of mass transit and is within walking distance of the San Leandro BART station, and AC
Transit bus lines run up and down E. 14th Street, which is adjacent to the event. For those who choose to drive, street parking is available in the vicinity of the festival. Dogs are not allowed.
ect is funded by Measure WW funds through the East Bay Regional Parks District. This year, along the Union City/Hayward border section of Alameda Creek, 23 volunteers removed 250 pounds of trash on Coastal Cleanup Day, September 21. At the William Cann Civic Center Creek to the main Alameda Creek channel, we had at least 50 volunteers - our biggest cleanup event yet! Quite a number of families and kids participated; some students from the Interact Club at Logan High School, a teacher and her students from OLR (Our Lady of the Rosary) Middle School in Union City, members of the Alameda Creek Alliance and other com-
munity volunteers who found out about the event from the various media sources that publicized it. Volunteers collected 80 pounds of trash and 67 pounds of recyclables. This project was posted and supervised by Amy Evans, Resource Conservationist of the Alameda County Resource Conservation District. Amy can be reached at Amy.evans@acrcd if you have any questions or are interested in volunteering to plant natives and sheet mulching along the creek at William Cann Civic Center Park on Make a Difference Day October 26th, 2013 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Club Z! Four Fremont students were awarded cash prizes. Winning entries will be judged based on performance, service, merit or achievement. Cash awards totaling $10,000 and many local awards will be presented to winning applicants during a special presentation held at the school. Students may only apply one time during each award period; be sure to get it in to your local guidance counselor or Club Z! before the November 15 deadline. Teachers can nominate their students or encourage them to apply online. Visit the website www.clubztutoring.com for applications and information or call (510) 651-3858.

Ashland down to 1 phone booth BY VICKIE ALDOUS ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS ASHLAND, Ore. (AP), Ashland has a solitary pay phone booth left in downtown after the city removed a booth near the Black Swan Theatre and Ashland Chamber of Commerce. Merchants had complained that the booth was unsightly, prompting the city to have it taken out earlier this year. That leaves a pay phone booth outside the Ashland Public Library as the sole remaining booth. It still works, although the receiver hook is broken off, causing the receiver to continually emit a forlorn off-the-hook warning buzz. Passers-by routinely stop to see if they can silence the disembodied noises emanating from the phone, but find there’s nothing they can do. The near-extinction of downtown Ashland’s pay phones is part of a story of a dwindling population of pay phones nationwide. It’s no mystery what’s led to this: Pay phones have been largely replaced by cell phones. The United States had more than 2 million pay phones in 2000, but now has about 425,000, CNN reported in late 2012. Residents and tourists walking in downtown Ashland recently had mixed views on the disappearance of pay phones. “I wish there were more around,’’ said Amy Cook of Jacksonville. “You never know when you’re going to need it. Ashland should keep at least one. I’ve been traveling sometimes and needed one.’’ Without pay phones, if people need to make calls but don’t have their cell phones, they have
to ask to borrow other people’s cell phones, Cook said. “That is a good way to meet people,’’ she laughed Applegate resident Joanna Davis said people might not be able to use pay phones even if more were around. “No one knows phone numbers because they’re all stored in their cell phones,’’ she said. However, Davis said, some pay phones should be kept in place. “You don’t have to have them on every corner, but you should have some,’’ she said. Barry Kaplan, who was visiting from New Haven, Conn., said he has a cell phone and it never occurs to him to use a pay phone. “I don’t even have a land line at home anymore,’’ Kaplan said. He said he couldn’t remember the last time he had used a pay phone. Ashland resident Nick McKernan said he used a pay phone about two months ago. “Personally, I always find them helpful. When I didn’t have a cell phone, I would rely on those,’’ he said. ``It’s naive to assume that everyone has a cell phone. It doesn’t make sense to take away a phone booth.’’ An Ashland woman who declined to give her name said Clark Kent changed into his Superman costume in a phone booth, but kids today don’t understand that cultural reference. She also said she couldn’t remember the last time she had used a pay phone. “Occasionally, your cell phone loses juice and you think, `What would I do?’ But times are just changing,’’ she said.

Milton boy publishes joke book for cancer patients BY MARY PAVLU THE PATRIOT LEDGER MILTON, Mass. (AP), Jack Robinson of Milton looks like an average 13-year-old. He likes to play tennis, sail, hang out with friends and spend time with his new puppy, Hank. Jack isn’t your average teenager, however. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in February of 2011, when he was 11 years old. While he was in chemotherapy, he self-published the joke book ``Make ‘Em Laugh’’ to help other kids fight cancer through laughter. “I decided to do it because jokes made me laugh and took my mind off of being sick,’’ he said. “What’s cool about it is that lots of kids contributed to it, not just me.’’ He’s modest, too. He prefers saying that he “edited and compiled’’ rather than wrote the book because he collected jokes from other patients. Jack came up with the idea after benefiting from a joke book his cousin gave him. After compiling jokes that he liked, he wrote a letter asking children in treatment at the Jimmy Fund Clinic to send him their favorite jokes. He also placed a shoe box on the clinic’s check-in counter, where pediatric patients submitted about 200 jokes on slips of paper. The box stayed at the clinic for a couple of months, and every week Jack would collect the submissions, then sort them into categories. “It was pretty hectic. I was really tired all summer due to treatment, but I really wanted to write the book,’’ Jack said. He read the jokes to his mother, Tisa Hughes, who typed. “It was a great, happy distraction,’’ she said. Jack also made the chapter headings and added the names and ages of the children who submitted jokes. He collaborated with family friend Jeff Dinardo, a children’s book designer, for the book’s illustrations. Since this summer, Jack has been selling “Make ‘Em Laugh’’ on createspace.com for $8.95. A hundred percent of the profit benefits cancer research. Jack has called and emailed hospitals all over the country to make sure his book gets in the hands of children who need a good laugh. Children’s hospitals in Dallas, Miami, Boston and New York City, just to name a few, requested 50 copies. As of August, 700 copies of the book have been sold, 520 of them donated to the hospitals on his list. Late last month, Jack was scheduled to take part in the 12th annual WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon to tell his story. Jack finished his active cancer treatment for bone cancer and is currently in the monitoring mode. He’s looking forward to starting the eighth grade and playing tennis – and telling a few jokes.
