Washington Hospital Focuses on Exceeding Core Measures
W
hen you walk into a hospital, you want to know you or your loved one will receive the highest quality care possible. Washington Hospital continues to meet or exceed quality measures set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS core quality measures are based on established quality improvement principles and measure how well a set of diagnoses are treated. “Everyone in health care wants to provide the best care possible to each patient every time he or she is admitted to the hospital,” said Barbara Eusebio, associate administrator of Quality and Resource Management at Washington Hospital. “The CMS core quality measures offer a uniform way for hospitals to measure and report on the quality of care they provide.” The core measures are also an evaluation tool for Washington Hospital administrators and ultimately the Board of
October 22, 2013
Washington Hospital is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care in the safest possible environment for every patient. For more information about Washington Hospital and its Quality initiatives, visit www.whhs.com/quality.
Directors, charged with assuring quality care, to determine how well the hospital is performing and whether changes need to be made in existing policies and practices to improve the quality of care. “We operate in a culture of continued quality improvement,” Eusebio added. “Washington Hospital has a multidisciplinary team led by physicians who are striving for 100 percent compliance on all measures. We are continually reviewing treatment plans to determine whether practices are in place to meet the highest standards of care.” The five core diagnoses include heart failure, heart attack or acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, stroke, and surgical care. These diagnoses affect large numbers of people and are associated with high costs and increased rates of morbidity and mortality, according to Eusebio. Heart failure occurs when the heart is not working to full capacity and can’t sup-
ply the cells with enough blood. Every year heart failure accounts for nearly 600,000 hospitalizations, she said. A heart attack happens when the flow of blood to a section of the heart suddenly becomes blocked and the heart can’t get enough oxygen. Heart attacks are a leading killer of both men and women in the United States. According to Eusebio, about 1.1 million Americans have a heart attack every year, and two out of three of those don’t make a full recovery. Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that can restrict the ability to breathe. Most people recover from it, but pneumonia can be deadly for babies and older adults. Eusebio said pneumonia accounts for nearly 600,000 hospitalizations and 500,000 emergency room visits among Medicare patients each year. With a stroke, the flow of blood to the brain is obstructed either by a blockage in an artery or a breakage in a blood vessel. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the
United States and a leading cause of disability in adults, according to the American Stroke Association. Surgical care measures are focused on reducing complications from surgery such as infection. About 500,000 surgical site infections occur in the United States each year, according to Eusebio. Patients who get an infection are 60 percent more likely to go to the Intensive Care Unit after surgery and five times more likely to be readmitted for further care, she added. “Quality care is the top priority at Washington Hospital,” Eusebio concluded. “To ensure that the hospital is offering the highest quality of care possible, we must continue to evaluate how we are doing and modify our care practices to improve on that quality. There is always room for improvement. We can never be complacent when it comes to the care and safety of our patients.” For information about Washington Hospital and its quality initiatives, visit www.whhs.com/quality.

Free foot screening will help residents identify problems early and get on the road to healing.
B
y the time most Americans are 50 they have walked an amazing 75,000 miles, the American Podiatric Medical Association reports. During our lifetime, our feet withstand a tremendous amount of wear and tear. Yet, most of us take healthy feet for granted. It’s important that everyone take good care of their feet, and this is even more crucial for people who have foot problems that may be related to diabetes, poor circulation, or both. “Many people can have early or undiagnosed problems with their feet,” said Prasad Kilaru, M.D., a Fremont plastic surgeon and medical director of the Washington Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine. “These problems need to be identified and treated as soon as possible.” “Tiny ulcers or injuries left untreated can increase to larger wounds and ulcers, and this can eventually lead to hospitalization and even amputation of the foot or leg,” continued Dr. Kilaru. “A high percentage of people who require amputation have foot wounds.” In one recent year, more than 90,000 non-traumatic lower limb amputations were performed in the U.S., according to the American Diabetes Association. Sixty percent of these were in people with diabetes. You can get your feet checked out at a free Foot Screening and consultation sponsored by the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine on Saturday, November 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Preregistration for the screening is required. Call (510) 248-1518 to make your appointment. The screening will be held at the Center, which is near Washington Hospital, at 39141 Civic Center Drive, Suite 106, in Fremont. “The free Foot Screening is our way of giving back to the community and educating residents about proper foot care and how to treat potential or early problems before they become major difficulties,” Dr. Kilaru explained. At the screening, members of the wound care clinic’s highly trained clinical team, including physicians and nurses, will check for problems with a patient’s feet or lower legs.
tory problems will also benefit from this service.” He recommends foot screening for anyone who has problems with their feet, such as diabetic ulcers or neuropathy associated with diabetes. With neuropathy, nerves are damaged and people don’t have full sensation in their feet. They may feel a tingling sensation or a feeling of pins and needles pricking the skin. Other conditions that would benefit from foot screening include: • poor circulation; • venous stasis ulcers, which are wounds that may occur when the valves in the veins of the legs don’t function properly; and • arterial ulcers that can occur when arteries in the legs are partially or completely blocked. “Diabetes is the most common problem involving the feet,” observed Dr. Kilaru. “But poor circulation, which may or may not be related to diabetes, can also affect wound healing. Neuropathy can make an injury more likely.”
Community Open House To provide people in the community over the age of 14 with free evaluations of chronic wounds, the Washington Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine will be offering a screening clinic on Saturday, November 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Preregistration is required. Please call (510) 248-1518 to make your appointment.
The screening is not a full physical examination and no treatment, such as prescriptions or dressings, will be provided. If foot problems are detected, the doctors and nurses will offer advice and referrals for follow-up care. Depending on the type of problem, patients may need to see a podiatrist or vascular surgeon, or they may need to seek treatment at the wound care clinic. “Whenever possible, we will co-ordinate with the patient’s primary care physician,” Dr. Kilaru added. Physicians, nurses and ancillary staff who will be at the screening are trained in wound
Respiratory Care Week Salutes Those Who Help People Breathe Easier You may not think about every breath you take, but thankfully respiratory care professionals do. They provide care to millions of Americans, from newborns to the elderly, who are having difficulty breathing, whether it’s due to an illness, accident, or surgical procedure. “We work in the entire hospital 24/7 assisting people of all ages,” said Matt Ybarra, respiratory therapist and Respiratory Care Coordinator at Washington Hospital. “When a patient is having trouble breathing or can’t breathe on their own, respiratory therapists provide care.” To recognize these dedicated professionals and their commitment to helping people breathe easier, Respiratory Care Week was created by the Association of Respiratory Care in 1982. This year it was held October 20-26. In California, only licensed respiratory care practitioners like Ybarra can provide respiratory care. They are one of three types of licensed health care professionals who work at patients’ bedsides most often. The other two are physicians and registered nurses. continued on page 9

care and have been with the clinic for at least two years. A history and examination of the feet and lower legs will be performed, as well as limited testing with equipment in the clinic. There will be no invasive tests. The staff will also provide people at the screening with a private, personalized lesson in how to care for their feet. “Anyone who has an open wound on their foot or lower leg that is not healing or has been present for more than four weeks should make an appointment and come to the screening,” advised Dr. Kilaru. “All people with diabetes or circula-

Kia Cadenza: A New Kind of Flagship BY STEVE SCHAEFER
FILTERING CABIN AIR
N
early every vehicle sold in North America is outfitted with a cabin air filter, which was first introduced to protect passengers from pollen and dust. Today, many cabin air filters have absorptive filter systems that utilize activated carbon to remove odors, diesel soot, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and hydrogen sulfide. However, many vehicle owners are not even aware that their automobiles have cabin air filters, let alone that they need to be replaced regularly. If not changed, cabin air filters can become blocked and become a source of breeding bacteria and allergens. Moreover, blocked filters can compromise the working of the HVAC system due to airflow restriction. For these reasons, most manufacturers rec-
ommend two-year replacement intervals. Is your cabin air filter more than two years old? If so, you need to bring your car into BAY STAR AUTO CARE right away. Our experienced technicians are ASE certified, which means we have the experience and expertise to provide the best maintenance for your car. We can change filters and fluids and check to make sure that wear and tear isn't going to make a small part turn into a big repair bill. Please call today for an appointment today. And remember, we do smog inspections! HINT: If a vehicle’s AC system is not cooling properly, a blocked cabin air filter may be the culprit.

f you’ve followed Kia over the last 20 years, you remember those first cars. The 1994 Sephia I tested was pretty basic. It had everything you needed, but
absolutely nothing extra. It felt like a knock-off previous-generation Toyota Corolla. However, unlike the Hyundai Excel a decade earlier, it wasn’t really bad, just plain. Of course, we all know the story. Over the years, Kia’s models have not only proliferated, but improved significantly with each generation. Now, it’s time for Kia to introduce their “Lexus.” It’s called the Cadenza, and a fine flagship it is. There’s no compromise here. There is exactly one model — Premium. It’s big and it’s beautiful. And, it comes with all the good stuff, standard. You get a navigation system and a 550-watt Infinity stereo with 12 speakers, including subwoofer. You sit on leather seats and hold a beautiful leather and wood wheel, bask in full climate control, and much more. The Cadenza is motivated by a 3.3-liter V6 that puts out 293 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque under the shapely hood, all driven through a six-speed automatic with SportMatic manual paddle shifters. Yet, it drinks regular gas. The EPA gives it ratings of 19 City, 28 Highway, and 22 Combined. I averaged 19.5 mpg. The EPA Green scores are 5 for Smog and Greenhouse Gas. It’s a great thing that Peter Schreyer, the former Audi designer, is in charge of how Kias look. When I parked my Smokey Blue Cadenza test car next to my wife’s Liquid Blue Metallic Audi, you could see some similarities. The proportions are just right, neither boring nor overstyled. While the German brands today are abandoning their formerly conservative, handsome look for something more exuberant, the Cadenza wears the look of a classic BMW, Audi or Mercedes. It looks expensive. Inside, the car lives up to its impressive body, with the right look and feel. The heated steering wheel has the top third of wood, the rest leather. It’s always fun to turn a steering wheel and have a different-feeling handful. It is definitely a luxury touch. Everything is there, including an illuminated console bin, sumptuous leather seating, and the perfect blend of textures and materials.
My tester featured both of the two available option packages. In case the standard amenities aren’t enough for you, order the Technology Package and get Advanced Smart Cruise Control, where you can follow the car in front at a set
distance (and automatically slow down when that driver does). You also get Blind Spot Detection, a popular feature that probably prevents hundreds of accidents every day. This package includes “Hydrophobic” front door windows, which stay clear when the rain hits them. I wasn’t able to test that feature, thanks to some fine late summer weather. The Luxury Package fills in what the standard package lacks. Get a panoramic sunroof, upgraded leather trim, a ventilated driver’s seat with electric seat cushion extension, and an electric rear sunshade. The Supervision meter cluster performs a little light show when you turn on the car. Number dividers for the speedometer shoot out from the center of the gauge and assemble
along the ring of the meter. I never got tired of watching the show. An image of the car winks its headlamps at you, as if to say “Hi.” There’s a little musical tune, too. It wouldn’t be a great car if, with all that equipment, it was a bore to drive. Luckily, it’s not. The 3,668-pound car drives like it is lighter, yet sails happily along the freeway in cruise mode. The

sport-tuned suspension, along with 19-inch wheels and tires from the Technology Package made the car feel planted and ready for anything. My tester, as a benefit of containing these packages, had the optional white leather interior at no extra cost. You don’t see those every day, and I’m sure you’d have to take care of it, but it illuminated the cabin and felt very posh. With the packages, this car really has everything you could want. I was sure there must be some flaw, and I did find one tiny problem. I set the otherwise divine audio system to NOT change volume with road speed, but it insisted on doing it anyway, so I worked the knob a bit when commute traffic speed varied. But that’s it. The price is $35,900, including shipping, for the base model.
Add in the two packages and you’ll be at $41,900. That may be the only problem the Cadenza will have to solve. Are there enough buyers for a $42,000 Kia? I think if enough people actually sample the car, after their disbelief fades, they may see their way to signing some papers and participating in the remarkable Kia success story.

nonprofit organizations, entire states, and individuals like you. Regardless of age, location, or resources, every volunteer can accomplish amazing things. “Newman’s Own” supports Make A Difference Day by awarding $10,000 to charities of 10 National Honorees and three City Awardees. In 2012, the City of Fremont won one of the City Awards, highlighting the impact of engaging its citizens in service. Calling Fremont “one of the most diverse cities in the country” where 167 languages are spoken but united in community service, Mayor Bill Harrison said, “Make A Difference Day allows people of all backgrounds to work together to improve our city.” Last October, a record number of 1,339 volunteers, led by Fremont’s Human Relations Commission, formed a virtual army of good to help their neighbors. Volunteers weeded a community garden, painted schools, cleaned up a creek, fixed code violations at seniors’ houses, collected 200 pounds of peanut butter and jelly for the homeless on top of 76 other projects. Fremont has even bigger plans for 2013. Fremont: A sample of the 20 major projects already registered on the Make A Difference Day website is the Sabercat Historical Park Revitalization project. Azevada Elementary school and the Environmental Sustainability Commission & Environmental Services will lead volunteers on habitat restoration by weeding, planting trees and plants, applying mulch, and more. Meet at the corner of Paseo Padre Parkway and Quema Drive at 9 a.m.; bring gloves, water, labeled tools, sunscreen and a great attitude! Other opportunities around the city include graffiti removal, stuffing envelopes, cereal and food drives, writing letters to local heroes, and several beautification projects.

The third annual BASF, presented by Chevron and organized by UC San Francisco, features more than 50 complimentary events, culminating with free Discovery Days at AT&T Park on Saturday, November 2nd from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. AT&T Park will transform into a science wonderland with hundreds of interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, and electrifying performances. “There are so many important innovations in science and technology developing every day, right here in the San Francisco Bay Area,” says Kishore Hari, BASF’s director. “The Bay Area Science Festival provides a fantastic opportunity for residents to learn about the vast resources and expertise for which the region is known the world over, and hopefully spark a passion among a future generation of scientists.” Here’s a sampling of what’s in store during the 2013 Bay Area Science Festival: Discovery Days: FREE, exhibition-packed Discovery Days offered in the North at Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa and East Bay at CSUEB in Hayward (both on October 26). Families are encouraged to “unleash their inner scientists” with more than 150 interactive opportunities to discover the inner workings of their environment. Thousands of curious participants are expected to turn out to observe the surface of the sun telescopically, learn how to cast fossils, enjoy a chemistry magic show and delve into the life of a forensic criminalist. The AT&T Park event will also feature a Robot Zoo in partnership with Silicon Valley Robotics, filling Willie Mays Plaza with engineering wonders, including Project Skye – The Omnidirectional Spherical Blimp – all the way from Switzerland. The Chevron STEM Zone brings even more activities this year as Chevron offers 10,000 free science kits with an attached family science guide. Life Science Alley will double in size with numerous local biotech companies showcasing activities. Open Labs: On Sunday, October 27, more than 20 different tours, explorations and presentations will be offered throughout the Bay Area. From a bicycle tour along the levees of the Don Edwards SF Bay Refuge and hikes along the San Andreas and Hayward Faults, to a tour of the west coast’s wetlands
and a “Hawk Talk” in the Marin Headlands, there is something to bring virtually anyone closer to their inner scientist. The Moth: The Discovery Channel’s MythBusters host Adam Savage joins other scientists for a special storytelling night with the Moth, discussing creation and chaos and eruptions within the laboratories of the mind and spirit with The Moth’s signature flair for bringing stories to life onstage. Nerd Nite at Sea: Due to the overwhelming interest in this sold out event last year, this October 30, BASF has chartered a bigger boat: the USS Hornet aircraft carrier! The vessel itself is a floating museum of space and military history and technology, having picked up the Apollo 11 capsule from the Pacific. The evening will also be packed with expert lectures, demos and, of course, science beer. Over 1000 are expected. The Bay Area Science Festival has collaborated with several esteemed leaders in the corporate and academic worlds to present these and many more events. Featured sponsors include the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation, First Tech Federal Credit Union, the Clorox Company, ThermoFisher Scientific, Autodesk, Bayer and Agilent Technologies.

Local Police Departments welcome female police officers from Tajikistan SUBMITTED BY FREMONT POLICE DEPARTMENT The police departments of Fremont and Hayward, California hosted a contingency of female police officers from the central Asian nation of Tajikistan. The officers arrived in the Bay Area to participate in and attend the Women Leaders in Law Enforcement Training Symposium October 6-8, 2013 in San Jose. Following the Training Symposium and in partnership with the California Police Chiefs Association and The Emergence Group, a consulting agency working to reform policing in Tajikistan, Fremont PD and Hayward PD partnered with the Tajik officers and their translators with female officers from the diverse East Bay communities.
Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY PIO GENEVA BOSQUES, FPD Friday, October 11 After releasing video surveillance of the Walmart gold chain robbery that occurred on October 4th, a tip was received Friday morning that led to the arrest of an 18 year old adult male. The female counterpart is still outstanding. Fremont Fire Dept. requested assistance at an address on Canfield Drive after responding to a report of an explosion at the residence. The residence is very well known for drug use and probation violations. Today a resident attempted to extract “hash oil” using butane canisters in a closed room. The room also housed the water heater and it appears that the flame from the water heater ignited the butane gas in the room, causing an explosion. The adult male was transported to a trauma center for burns. A female juvenile teen who was also slightly injured was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The Major Crimes Supervisor was notified and Agent Young assumed the investigation. A residential burglary was reported on the 39900 block of Stevenson Common where five bowling balls were stolen from the garage. The suspect from last night’s robbery at Washington/680 (#131011005) was at it again tonight. The suspect targeted another Asian female, this time at Aberdeen Café located on the 46800 block of Warm Springs Blvd. The female victim was visiting from out of the country and had a large amount of cash in her purse. The victim was having dinner with a group of friends. The suspect, a 41 year old adult male, walked in and sat down at a table behind the victim. He then took the opportunity and grabbed the victim’s purse and ran out the front door to his gray 2001 Toyota Camry. When he tried to drive away however, friends of the victim blocked the parking lot exit. He then parked his vehicle and fled on foot. Ofc. Taylor arrived and located the suspect vehicle in the lot. Ofc. Sasser arrived and located the suspect walking on Mission Blvd. The suspect was identified by witnesses and placed under arrest. The purse from tonight’s victim was located inside the vehicle and returned to her. Ofc. Wilson recognized the similarity from this case to his robbery from the prior night (680/Washington) so he picked up his victim and the suspect and his vehicle were positively identified for last night’s incident. Several officers are following up on additional cases that the suspect may be responsible for. Saturday, October 12 An adult male is sitting in his vehicle after playing badminton at United Badminton Club at Pacific Commons when two masked subjects came up to his vehicle demanding his belongings. One of the suspects has his hands in his pockets and victim believes he is armed with a gun. Victim is relieved of his backpack, wallet containing his identification and various credit cards. The suspects fled on foot. Follow up for video surveillance to be conducted. Investigated by Ofc. Hollifield. Ofc. Taylor was detailed to the Bijan Restaurant regarding a fight. Upon arriving he located a male bleeding from the head who had been struck by a beer bottle. The male sustained a cut on his forehead, but refused medical treatment. The
The Tajik officers toured local departments, spent time talking with local female police officers, had lunch together and participated in ride-a-longs with Fremont or Hayward police officers. Female police officers in Tajikistan have been traditionally assigned to administrative duties only, very similar to the beginnings of law enforcement in the United States. This visit to the U.S. was designed to allow the Tajik officers to watch American female police officers handle crime alongside their male counterparts. Tajikistan is moving toward having their female police officers handle crimes against women and children, a progression that mirrors the evolution of female police officers in America.
suspect fled prior to police arrival. This is the second assault with a deadly weapon incident at this restaurant in the last two weeks, staff will be following up with management to determine what may be contributing to the increase in incidents of this nature. Ofc. Taylor was detailed to Cloverleaf Bowl for a fight between two men, in which one had been knocked unconscious. Upon arriving both men advised they were good friends and denied a fight. One male was transported to the hospital due to the extent of his injuries. The other was arrested for public drunkenness. Ofc. Piol was detailed to the Saddle Rack regarding a battery to the security staff. Officers locate two involved parties and one was arrested for battering the security staff and the other was arrested for public drunkenness. Sunday, October 13 Officers were dispatched to rear of a business (47000 block of Bayside Pk) on a report of a male on fire. Officers arrived and through witnesses learned that the male had parked his car at which time the vehicle exploded. An employee from inside the business pulled the male from the vehicle and used a fire extinguisher which ceased the flames. The male was transported to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries. A propane tank was found in the right front passenger seat of the vehicle. Monday, October 14 A caller reports that she went out to her car parked on Chrisholm Pl. and found her car burglarized. There was a purse and other stuff laying around her car on the street, but none of it was her loss. A neighbor’s vehicle was also stolen during the night and the two cases are probably related. The stolen vehicle is a green and white 1993 Ford Bronco with CA license plate 6BUD066. Handled by CSO Baca/FTO CSO Aguirre. Officer Zargham was dispatched to a stolen vehicle where the victim witnessed his 1999 black Honda Civic (6DDG136) being stolen from the Walmart parking lot on Osgood Rd. With the help of a citizen, the victim pursued the stolen vehicle but lost it near the Shell Gas Station on Automall Pkwy. Officers were dispatched to 3rd St Park in Niles on the second-hand report of a stabbing. Witnesses reported to police that the victim appeared to be stabbed in the arm and fled the scene in a green Honda Accord. Minutes later, the victim checked into a local ER with a stab wound to the arm. Officer Valdes is leading the investigation. Tuesday, October 15 At approximately 8:10 a.m., Officer Fuellenbach investigated a residential burglary on the 35000 block of Cabrillo Drive where part of the loss was an iPad. The find-my-iPad app led Officer Fuelllenbach to a residence on the 4700 block of Portola. Through follow-up Officer Fuellenbach learned that a resident at the home on Portola had an active felony residential burglary warrant out of Sonoma County. Officer Fuellenbach made contact at the residence and learned that the adult male had fled out the back door after learning that police were there. The victim’s iPad was located inside the residence. A perimeter was established and a search was conducted with the assistance of Officer Romley and his K9 as well as CHP’s helicopter. After an extensive search the adult male was not located. Officers continued to check the area and Officer Roberts eventually located the adult male near the intersection of Portola/Coronado. The 21 year old
adult male was taken into custody for possession of stolen property, obstructing/resisting arrest and for the warrant. We highly recommend installing the find my iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, iPhone app on your devices if you haven’t already. Our Traffic CSO followed up on a number of abandoned vehicles that were recently called in or reported via the online complaint form. Many of the vehicles received 72 hour warning notices. The following streets received service: Langhorn Drive, Sauvignon Court (2 vehicles), Barton Way, Central, Merrill, Kahlua Ct (3 vehicles), Blackstone, Azul Ct, Loma Drive, Argyle, Darwin, Philadelphia, Philadelphia/Monmouth Pl. and Loma/Mission. At approximately 1:20 a.m., Officer Little investigated a commercial burglary window smash at 7-Hills Foods. At approximately 4:55 a.m., Officer Piol investigated a window smash at Fremont Gas & Food. Unknown loss at this time but evidence recovered from the scenes indicates the same suspect(s) were involved in both. Wednesday, October 16 At approximately 5:00 a.m. a citizen called to report a shooting at the intersection of Auto Mall and Technology. The victim pulled up behind a grey Honda Civic that was stopped at a traffic light. The light happened to be green so the victim honked at the driver of the Civic. The driver took off, but did not take the “Honk” all that well and decided to shoot at the victim’s tire once the victim’s vehicle approached. The driver then casually drove away after the single shot. The driver was described as a male wearing a hoodie. The victim could not see the driver’s face. Several officers searched the area, but the suspect was not located. Officer Settle is investigating. At approximately 8:35 p.m., Officer A. Gonzalez responded to the area of “5 corners” to investigate a suspicious person at Mountain Mikes Pizza restaurant. The reporting party stated that the suspicious person was asking her teenage daughter for money and then asked on two occasions if she would come to his house. Officers searched the area and found the intoxicated man in front of Irvington Liquor and Grocery Store on Fremont Blvd. He was sitting with a newly purchased 24 ounce can of beer. The 45 year old adult male transient was arrested for annoying/molesting a child and for being drunk in public. Thursday, October 17 Officers respond to Advanced Cellular on the 46200 block of Warm Springs Blvd in regards to a strong-armed robbery that had just occurred. Two Hispanic male adult suspects in their early 20’s enter the business and take two iPads. They were last seen getting into a black 4door Nissan. Initially, it was reported that the reporting party fought with the suspects. Further investigation revealed, the incident was a grand theft. Case investigated by Ofc. Stone. Officers respond to a possible kidnapping near Calypso Terrace. The reporting party stated that she observed two males, both wearing hoodies, grab a 12 year old girl and take her into a house. Officers Lobue and Perry become suspicious about the story. The homeowner of the alleged house arrives home and is concerned. The homeowner gives the officers consent to enter the house to check on the girl. Officers Lobue and Perry discover marijuana grow house continued onpage 35

Respiratory Care Week Salutes Those Who Help People Breathe Easier Respiratory care practitioners routinely perform a variety of duties, including: • Use mechanical ventilation for patients who need it • Administer medications in aerosol form • Monitor equipment and patients’ responses to therapy • Obtain blood specimens and analyze them to determine levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. • Maintain artificial airways (tracheostomy or intubation) • Measure the capacity of patients’ lungs to determine if there is impairment • Obtain and analyze sputum specimens and chest X-rays • Assess vital signs and other indicators of respiratory dysfunction • Perform stress tests and other studies of the cardiopulmonary system • Study disorders of people with disruptive sleep patterns • Conduct rehabilitation activities • Lead asthma education and smoking cessation programs Critical Care “We work everywhere – pediatrics, the emergency department, intensive care – where there are lungs and problems with lungs, we are there,” Ybarra said. “We are also an integral part of the critical care team.” Critical care specialists treat the most gravely ill patients in the hospital. These patients are generally clinging to life due to a medical condition like cancer, stroke, or lung disease, or are victims of a serious accident. “Washington Hospital uses a multidisciplinary approach to critical care,” Ybarra explained. “We work together as a team.” In addition to respiratory therapists, the critical care team includes physicians who are specially trained in critical care medicine called intensivists, critical care nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, physical therapists, speech therapist, social workers, case managers, physician specialists and spiritual care staff.
“The goal is to get these critically ill patients off the breathing machine as soon as possible,” he said. “The team does rounds together. We go from patient to patient and evaluate where the patient is at, what the goals are for their care, and what needs to happen so they are well enough to move out of the intensive care unit. How they are breathing is a huge part of that.” Reducing Readmissions “Respiratory therapists also spend a lot of time on education,” Ybarra added. “We educate patients in the hospital setting so they know how to manage their condition after they go home. That really helps to avoid readmissions.” He said Washington Hospital has started a pilot project to help reduce hospital readmissions among lung disease patients, particularly those with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). A specially trained respiratory therapist works to get patients enrolled in Washington Hospital’s pulmonary rehabilitation program before they leave the hospital. “We are looking to close the gap between inpatient and outpatient care when it comes to people with COPD,” Ybarra explained. “The pulmonary rehabilitation program requires a referral from a physician and there is a lag between when a patient leaves the hospital and when they start the program. Often they get sick again before they can start the program. So the goal is to have them start the program soon after they are discharged so they can get the support and education they need to stay healthy right away.” Through the pulmonary rehabilitation program, respiratory therapists provide one-on-one counseling to people with lung diseases like COPD, asthma, and emphysema. They help people learn how to manage their disease with medications and lifestyle changes.

The drive will serve approximately 67,000 Bay Area children this holiday season. “With the Holiday Wish Drive gearing up and gift delivery from host organizations beginning on December 7, the need to acquire warehouse space now is very urgent,” says Family Giving Tree Chief Operations Officer David Bratton-Kearns. “We need 100,000 square feet with a lot of open floor space” The needed warehouse space must also include restrooms (two per gender), lighting, electrical outlets, one loading dock and streetlevel, drive by access for loading and unloading. According to Bratton-Kearns, any location within Silicon Valley is suitable. “In past years, we have relied on the generosity of companies like Cisco Systems, NVIDIA, Wells Fargo, Juniper Networks and iStar Financial that have provided temporary warehouse space for us during our Holiday Wish and Back to School drives. We urge any company with sufficient empty space to contact us as soon as possible. Contact David Bratton-Kearns, at davidbk@familygivingtree.org or (408) 946-3111, extension 200 or Program Manager Al Galan at: al@familygivingtree.org or (408) 946-3111, extension 228.

What are the ‘work rules’ that caused BART strike? BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. (AP), After six months of negotiations and a four-day strike in July, San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit system and its workers had all but agreed on the typically contentious contract issues of wages and benefits. Then a deal fell apart, and workers went on strike Friday for a second time. The main sticking point: “work rules.’’ WHAT ARE WORK RULES? They cover everything from how schedules are made and how grievances are handled to how paychecks are distributed and whether
More Americans exercise while they work BY SAM HANANEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP), Glued to your desk at work? Cross that off the list of excuses for not having the time to exercise. A growing number of Americans are standing, walking and even cycling their way through the workday at treadmill desks, standup desks or other moving workstations. Others are forgoing chairs in favor of giant exercise balls to stay fit. Walking on a treadmill while making phone calls and sorting through emails means “being productive on two fronts,’’ said Andrew Lockerbie, senior vice president of benefits at Brown & Brown, a global insurance consulting firm. Lockerbie can burn 350 calories a day walking 3 to 4 miles on one of two treadmill desks that his company’s Indianapolis office purchased earlier this year. “I’m in meetings and at my desk and on the phone all day,’’ he said. “It’s great to be able to have an option at my work to get some physical activity while I’m actually doing office stuff. You feel better, you get your blood moving, you think clearly.’’ Treadmill desks designed for the workplace are normally set to move at 1 to 2 mph, enough to get the heart rate up but not too fast to distract from reading or talking on the phone comfortably. It’s been a decade since scientific studies began to show that too much sitting can lead to obesity and increase the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Even going to the gym three times a week doesn’t offset the harm of being sedentary for hours at a time, said Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic. “There’s a glob of information that sitting is killing us,’’ Levine

reports are written electronically or in longhand. For workers, stricter rules create stability in their assignments and how they do their jobs. For managers, they limit how flexibly and efficiently they can run the system. HOW DO THEY FACTOR ON THE BART TALKS? Some of the biggest work rule changes BART sought relate to work shifts and worker protections. For example, BART wants to be able to change work schedules with greater ease; the unions want to preserve schedules such as a 4-day, 10-hour week, saying this helps workers with child care
and other obligations. Other proposed changes would affect the handling of worker claims of discrimination or harassment by managers. The unions say they are willing to submit work rule changes to an arbitrator, but that BART declined. ARE WORK RULES USUALLY SUCH A BIG DEAL? They are not typically a dealbreaker for negotiations. Disagreements over wages and benefits such as health care and pensions are usually the kinds of issues that provoke a strike. In some negotiations, unions trade work rules for a better economic package.
said. “You’re basically sitting yourself into a coffin.’’ More companies are intrigued by the idea of helping employees stay healthy, lose weight and reduce stress – especially if it means lower insurance costs and higher productivity, said Levine, an enthusiastic supporter of the moving workstations. “Even walking at 1 mile an hour has very substantial benefits,’’ Levine said, such as doubling metabolic rate and improving blood sugar levels. ``Although you don’t sweat, your body moving is sort of purring along.’’ Sales at Indianapolis-based TreadDesk are expected to increase 25 percent this year as large corporations, including Microsoft, Coca Cola, United Healthcare and Procter & Gamble have started buying the workstations in bulk, said Jerry Carr, the company’s president. At LifeSpan Fitness, based in Salt Lake City, sales of treadmill desks more than tripled over 2012, said Peter Schenk, company president. “We don’t see the growth slowing down for several years as right now we are just moving from early adopters, which are educated and highly health conscious, to more mainstream users,’’ Schenk said. With bicycle desks or desk cycles, workers can pedal their way through the day on a small stationary bike mounted under their desk. Treadmill desks can range from about $800 to $5,000 or more, depending on the manufacturer and model. Desks cycles start as low as $149 for models that can fit under an existing desk but can run $1,400 or more for those with a desk built in. Standup desks can run as low as $250 for platforms that can rest on an existing desk. Some workers have opted for lower-profile – and lower-cost – ways to stay fit at work, such as sitting on giant exercise balls instead of chairs. Using the inflatable balls can help improve posture and strengthen abs, legs and back muscles. “I’ve got nurses in my operating room who will use one of those balls instead of a chair,’’ said Michael Maloney, a professor of orthopedics and sports medicine specialist at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Maloney said anyone trying an exercise ball, treadmill desk or moving workstation should approach it with common sense. Those who have not been exercising regularly
should start using the equipment in small time increments to avoid injury, he said. “They have to just do it with some common sense and not overdo it,’’ Maloney said. “Just pay attention to how their body is responding to the new activities.’’ Georges Harik, founder of the Web-based instant messaging service imo.im in Palo Alto, Calif., bought two treadmill desks for his 20-person office to share three years ago. Employees tend to sort through email or do other work while using the treadmills. “I do it when I can,’’ he said. “Sometimes it’s not possible if you’re really thinking hard or programming a lot. But this sort of lowgrade activity that keeps people from being sedentary probably helps extend their lives by a few years, and we’re big fans of that.’’ The office has also purchased standing desks for most of its employees. The desks can be raised up or down with the touch of a button, and Harik says at least three or four workers can be seen standing at desks to stretch their legs at any one time. But not everyone wants one, Harik said. Some workers find it too distracting to incorporate standing or walking into their work, and some feel they are just not coordinated enough to multitask as they exercise. Levine said he was at first skeptical that a standup desk would offer improvements in health comparable to treadmill desks or other moving workstations. “It appears I was completely wrong,’’ he said. “Once you’re off your bottom, it’s inevitable that you start meandering around. Within two minutes of standing, one activates a series of metabolic processes that are beneficial. Once you sit, all of those things get switched off.’’ Denise Bober, director of human resources at The Breakers, the resort hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., said having a treadmill desk in her office has made a big difference in how she feels after work. “The more movement and interaction I have, the more energy I have at the end of the day,’’ she said. Bober spends one to three hours walking when she’s in the office, usually at 2 mph. “If I go faster, then I make too many typing errors, but if I’m just reading a report I can go faster,’’ she said.

Since Hayward is the fifth largest city in the Bay Area, you’d think the city’s main library would be just as large. According to Hayward’s government website, it’s not. When the current library was built in 1951, the city’s population was around 14,000. Now, with about 150,000 residents, the library is bursting at the seams. To help alleviate this issue, the city is gathering to discuss plans for a new building. The League of Women Voters Eden Area will be holding a “hot topic” informational meeting to discuss the potential plans for constructing a new main Hayward library building. The meeting will inform attendees about how construction would be funded and if other public buildings in the city need to be included in that funding plan. The meeting will be held on Oct. 25, at Hayward City Hall. The “hot topic” discussion will inform attendees about the pros and cons of the project. Presen-
ters will lead the discussion and open the floor to community members who have questions or comments. Hayward conducted a recent community survey on the subject and those results will be shared at the meeting. “Our speakers are our resource people,” said Evelyn Cormier, chair of the League committee that planned and is putting on the event. “We hope interested community members will ask questions and give their opinions on this important subject,” she said. Light refreshments will be available for attendees. An RSVP is required to attend the free discussion. This League informational meeting is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Hayward Library and American Association of University Women Hayward/Castro Valley Chapter. A new library for Hayward?

Unitek College awarded 2012-2013 School of Excellence
E
ver since our first graduating class walked across the stage in 2002, Unitek College has strived to achieve high student graduation and graduate employment rates. This past June, we received our highest honor: Unitek College was officially recognized by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, with the 2012-2013 School of Excellence award. Why are Unitek College students so successful? There is one simple answer: our students are our number one priority. Our healthcare training programs encourage collaboration and comprehension, allowing students to retain what they learn and apply it within their careers. Unitek College chooses instructors who are passionate about what and who they teach. Unitek College equips its facilities with modern simulation labs (SIMS labs), that offer students the hands-on training required in today’s workforce. Unitek College’s clear
commitment to education instills in our students confidence that they have chosen a quality program, and will be empowered through the support of their peers, instructors, and faculty. Most importantly, the relationship between Unitek College and its students doesn’t end upon graduation. Unitek College graduates enjoy the benefits of a diligent Career Services Department dedicated to Unitek College alumni success. While enrolled, Medical Assisting and Pharmacy Technician students are placed in externships that provide valuable experience. Alumni make the most of externship relationships with the help of the Career Services Department through employment assistance and valuable occupational information. We believe our students’ success is our greatest measure. “We are extremely excited and honored to be recognized by ACCSC for our hard work and commitment to both our stu-
dents, alumni and the community,” stated Navraj Bawa, Unitek College School President, “The key metric measured and reviewed by ACCSC is student success, which is of utmost importance to us. This award is a testament to the commitment to education and career success that our students and faculty have made.” One such student with a commitment to education is Rochelle Padama of Fremont, CA. Rochelle graduated from college 17 long years ago, but returned to Unitek College to pursue her dream of becoming a Pharmacy Technician. As a gainfully employed mother with two daughters to care for, she was understandably nervous about returning to school. But she took a chance and enrolled. Ultimately, Rochelle excelled and graduated as Valedictorian of the Pharmacy Technician program. Rochelle credits her success to those who supported her while at Unitek College. She offered her heartfelt thanks; “Dr.

Rochelle also appreciates her classmates, and sings their praise, “...for making me feel young again, for making my tenure at Unitek College a great experience and exciting time.” Unitek College has received tremendous support from the community over the years and is pleased to be able to give back, providing healthcare and nursing training to local residents.

Meeting for new charter school in New Haven District SUBMITTED BY NH NEWS October 15 - More than 30 people spoke to the Board of Education during a public hearing last Tuesday night on a petition calling for the creation of a charter school within the boundaries of the New Haven Unified School District. About 20 people, mostly members of the Sikh community, spoke in favor of the proposed Dashmesh Charter Academy School. About a dozen speakers expressed opposition, citing potential negative impacts. The Board will vote on the matter in November.
At the meeting, the Board approved a new District policy on equity, committing itself “to achieving equity and excellence for each and every student, preparing them for citizenship, higher education, and the workforce.” The Board also approved a new District policy on employee use of technology and revised policies on use of technology in instruction and student use of technology. The next New Haven Unified School District Board Meeting will be held on Nov. 19. For more information, visit www.nhusd.k12.ca.us

Tri-City Stargazer OCTOBER 23 – OCTOBER 29, 2013 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: This month may have everyone reeling, to one degree or another, after the changes precipitated by the Full Moon eclipse of Oct. 18. The answering, new moon eclipse, will occur on Nov. 3. This eclipse season is also complicated by
Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20): Take every precaution not to abuse your body during this period. Drugs or alcohol could have peculiar side effects that you don't understand. You are in a low physical cycle and will be unable to push yourself as hard as normal on any physical task. If you are affected emotionally, try not to worry about it. Your body/feelings will right themselves after the 26th. Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): This is a vaguely uncomfortable week. It is hard to move forward right now. Financial concerns may be holding you back. You may need to tend to your vehicle, which threatens to stop going forward, too. Your relationship to partner(s) may feel askew, but it isn’t clear what or how to address the issue at this time. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): The current Mercury retrograde is really messing with you now and through the end of this month. Nit-picky issues and minor annoyances slow down your forward motion. You may be searching everywhere for a particular piece of paper that is
Mercury changing directions on Oct. 21. The chances are high that you and everyone you know are scrambling to adapt to altered circumstances. It likely will be mid-November before the dust settles. Do the best you can to recognize and understand
totally elusive. Remember that whatever is lost during a Mercury retrograde will turn up again before it goes direct on Nov 10. Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21): Your energy level is good. Positive outcomes related to your career, or work in the world, are reflecting well upon you. Almost anything you set out to accomplish is handled in unusually quick time. You have what it takes to be a warrior on behalf of yourself or others. People will listen to you. Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22): Your attention shifts toward home, health, and family as it often does at this time of year. You may have a strong need to clean out debris, get out in the yard, and generally make things ready for winter. This will require three or four weeks, after which you will shift to the holiday preparations. It is your natural solar rhythm. Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): It is possible you will be feeling angry and disappointed over a situation with a loved one. No matter how much you want someone to listen to
you, sometimes they just do what they want. Mechanical objects are not cooperative right now. They may break down. There are better times to come. Libra the Scales (Sep 23-Oct. 22): This period may be difficult for those on a diet or other selfimprovement programs. You are prone to self-indulgence right now. Perhaps the best thing to do is accept that is so and find a new solution that is satisfying without sabotaging your good intentions. Too much of a good thing is just too much. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): Your overall attitude is serious and purposeful at this time. Even so, there is likely to be improvement in romance, love life, or in relation to your children. One part of your mind will be considering your spiritual direction and how you can direct your energies to fulfill it. Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): You may be feeling stress related to your lover or a partner, maybe even a child. Underneath it all, the issue is tied to your internalized sense of the role of woman in our cul-
that almost everyone is disturbed in some way and may not be operating at top level.
ture. The West has always struggled with images of the feminine. Is she a caretaker-mother type, or a seductress? Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Aspects suggest that your attention may be called to teach or educate one or more people. It is possible that you are the student in a seminar. Short range travel and communications are also favored. If there is need for an emotional healing between you and a sibling or a roommate, now may be the perfect time. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): The odds are high that you are going “backward” in some way. Use any
verb you wish and put the prefix “re” on it, such as reviewing, revising, or rethinking a decision. The territory is related to your career or life focus. It may be time to “revise” a decision made in the last few weeks. Pisces the Fish (February 19March 20): This is a powerful time to consider your spiritual purposes. It is all too easy for the Maya, the things of the world, to overwhelm every waking minute, leaving no time for higher goals. If you notice fatigue, disappointment, or depression at this time, stop. Be still and listen for the voice deep within your soul.

Ratings more existential desires of love/belonging, esteem and self-actualization.
WILLIAM MARSHAK
I
am used to ratings, polls and experts telling me what I should eat, where I should live, what television programs are good and what I think about the political landscape. Traditional media gurus have now been augmented by internet sites, blogs and articles that often have little provenance except a web address. Communities and cities can become the happiest, healthiest, wisest or whatever else is promoted through commercial surveys that may or may not be valid indicators. However, good marketers know that everyone wants to be the best, brightest, top 10 or any superlative adjective even if they have to pay for it. Whatever measurements are used, proof of these accolades can be found in the value placed on the product, service or location by those intimately involved. For communities, citizens ultimately determine their worth through attitude and support of the environment, from basic services, education, recreation and artistic expression. Abraham Maslow expressed this as layers of human needs and wants, beginning with basic physiological and safety concerns, progressing to
In the greater Tri-City area, external recognition has become commonplace as industries recognize the possibilities of our cities as singular role models rather than adjuncts to nearby locations. For example, recently, Cleantech Open, a competition of innovative clean industry entrepreneurs selected Fremont as the site of their annual gathering. Internally, public and nonprofit agencies have recognized and are meeting the challenges of maintaining infrastructure, providing safe environments and developing our landscape in a responsible manner. While our communities struggle with the basic needs of Maslow’s hierarchy, we also have embraced the higher levels of esteem and self-actualization. Parks and family-friendly environments coupled with healthy recreation and sports activities expand our focus beyond our immediate families. We address the desire for love/belonging and creativity through educational resources and, at the peak, fine arts. Opening of Fremont Symphony’s 50th year was a source of pride and achievement for the entire area. The program, a representation of everything we are, evoked images of our heritage, ethnicity, joys and sorrows. From a plethora of instruments, voices and rhythms, Maestro Gregory Van Sudmeier wove a musical fabric that encompassed the entire range of human emotions, history and experience.
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Sharon Marshak
all of us, our highest community aspirations; from those cheering for or playing on sports teams, meeting with friends at home, dancing in different venues, playing with the kids or whatever. Moving beyond pure physiological needs, community group efforts in clubs, sports, community bands, orchestras and theater production groups not only provide creative outlets, but allow us to express pride in shared accomplishments and possibilities. The epitome of an internal rating system is a shared vision and commitment to progress from single “instruments” creating a single tone and element to one that combines strength and supplements where weakness is found. Our Innovation Corridor cities need to join together to promote and facilitate development of commercial centers, convention facilities, performing arts centers, sports facilities and the like. While accolades are welcome, the value of our Southeast Bay Innovative Corridor is not created from external polls or ratings. Recognition of our unique status should simply be a reflection of how we think of ourselves. Each city has developed its own General Plan, how about creating an areawide General Plan?

Letter to the Editor
Funds to fight forest fires How presumptuous of me to suggest how billionaires should spend [their money] on charity. C’mon Ellison and Zuckerberg, and all you “lesser” mega-rich Californians mentioned in Forbes Richest Americans. Has it ever occurred to you to fund planes and helicopters to put out California forest fires? Just think, it would be a way to benefit every person, every animal and so many trees plus improving the air quality of our state. In addition, you would have the gratification of seeing aircraft overhead christened “Larry” and “Mark”! I know the air is rarified up in your [income] brackets, but you could help clear the air for all of us, including yourselves.
PRODUCTION/GRAPHIC DESIGN Ramya Raman
If you California billionaires won’t fund replacements for our woefully inadequate fleet, then who will? Bill Gates, our Croesus neighbor to the north is charitable, but he has his own forests he could take care of in Washington. Obviously our state won’t budget for planes here in California; high speed rail takes precedence. Sharon Brown Fremont

Letter to the Editor
Making food safe It is possible that the Costco Foster Farms chicken epidemic has been caused by contamination of personally owned, reusable bags mandated by law. Oregon investigators have already traced a past outbreak of norovirus (stomach flu) to a reusable grocery bag. For consideration:

Division races still close in Fremont Football League
- Improper handling after purchase of a large amount of chicken bought by many separate individuals is being suggested. Are we consumers willing to have that blame shifted to our shoulders? Yet, it does appear Costco has indeed followed proper safety procedures. - Perhaps blame for contamination should be placed on our trustees, our elected politicians who passed the reusable bag mandate into law. - Alameda County Waste Management Authority (ACWMA) appointed members who proposed this Fremont law for adoption in the first place are “supposedly” experts in Waste Management—NOT experts in food safety! - Unfortunately, “experts” serving on the Boards of an Authority are sometimes merely political appointees. - It appears our elected trustees who sit on our Fremont City Council “opted in” automatically to this law by doing nothing to “opt out.” It is my understanding this “opt in” by an elected body was required in order for the Alameda County Waste Management Authority’s proposal to become law. Centers for Disease Control, hospital staff, and other food safety experts have warned of the dangers presented by norovirus (stomach flu). It can grow exponentially from a single chicken juice stain on a reusable bag stored in a hot automobile. It can be transferred to a shopping cart, conveyor belt, or other surfaces by contact and can live on those surfaces for quite some time. If I may use a quote from this very newspaper on 3/19/2013: “What’s Growing in Your Reusable Grocery Bags?” Faye McKay, Fremont

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW As of play through October 19, the American Division Bears beat the Patriots 55-30 with an offensive explosion late in the game. The win allows them to stay close to the undefeated Vikings with the Broncos within striking distance. So far, no team has been able to slow the Viking juggernaut. In the National Division it is a different story with a three-way tie at the top of the standings. The Falcons could be the team to watch as their offense is blossoming with a late season surge. So far, the Colts offense is running away with the Continental Division The action is always exciting with Fremont football league. Visit www.fremontfootball.org for schedules and information.
Huskies remain undefeated overwhelm Mariners SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW The Washington Huskies remained undefeated in Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) football at 4-0 as they met the Moreau Catholic Mariners and were never in danger of losing their spotless record. Early on, the Mariners found the Huskies ready, willing and able to defend their ground as Washington’s Mark Colbert’s started the offensive power display with impressive moves. With 2.45 left in the first quarter, he moved the ball 33 yards to put up the first score of the day. Nate Woudstra also had a great day as he opened the Huskies lead with two TDs of his own - one of 4 yards and a 70 yard interception run. Washington’s Emory Simmons also made a great interception and followed a block into the end zone. Huskies defense had their best game of the year as they held the Mariners to just 176 yards of offense for the whole game and racked up three interceptions in the first half. The only bright spot of the day for the Mariners a Brandon Tieu 45-yard pass reception. This game appeared to be a taste of things to come for the Huskies and showed why the rest of the MVAL is playing catch-up this year. Washington beats Moreau 40-0.

Hospitals risk losing tax-exempt status SUBMITTED BY BOB JIMENEZ Jerome Horton, Chairman of the Board of Equalization, which oversees the welfare exemption for hospitals and other organizations, has announced that the Internal Revenue Service has issued temporary and proposed regulations for charitable hospital organizations on how to report any excise taxes for failing to meet the community health needs assessment requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The temporary regulations state that a charitable hospital organization, liable for the excise tax under Section 4959 of the Tax Code, must file a return on Form 4720, Return of Certain Excise Taxes under Chapters 41 and 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The form must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the charitable hospital organization’s tax year, during which the liability was incurred. Under the Affordable Care Act, hospital organizations that want to remain or become tax-exempt are required to periodically perform a community needs health assessment, and adopt an implementation strategy, at least once every three years. They also need to establish a written financial assistance policy and emergency medical care policies. They are expected to limit the charges for emergency room visits or other medically necessary care for individuals who are eligible for assistance under the hospital’s financial assistance policy. They also are expected to make reasonable efforts to determine whether an individual is eligible for assistance under the hospital’s financial assistance policy before engaging in extraordinary collection actions against the individual. The proposed regulations provide that written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by Nov. 13, 2013.

New app simplifies county shuttle service SUBMITTED BY: GUY ASHLEY Caleb Kim and Stephen Ou have ended their summer internships with Alameda County’s Information Technology Department and are returning to school. But the two technologically-adept teen-agers have left a lasting legacy that will boost public transportation and mark a major new step toward meeting the transportation needs of County employees. Caleb and Stephen, both 17 and friends from Castro Valley High School, spent much of their summer creating and perfecting ALCO Shuttle App, a new web and mobile-phone application that aims to make an innovative County shuttle service easier to use for people seeking to travel from the office to public transportation hubs and/or within the large network of County facilities. Caleb and Stephen first came onto the County radar last December when they earned Second Place in the County’s first-ever Hackathon. The two teen-agers earned the distinction with an app called ACPR Finder, which sifts through County Parks and Recreation Data to provide user-friendly information about local parks. The app includes a map interface listing all park locations and a filter that allows the user to organize parks by specific features like playgrounds, hiking trails and basketball courts. Their latest innovation, ALCO Shuttle App, provides schedules, maps and a “trip planner” that integrates scheduled shuttle stops and BART service options to help find the best time to get from Point A to B. Caleb, who is about to enter his freshman year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, said the App also addresses concerns expressed by County staff, including restrictions on signage that have led to some confusion among County employees about the exact location of shuttle stops. The solution: the App features Google “street view” pictures of each shuttle stop, which should resolve any questions about where the Shuttle will be making its next scheduled stop.

PROBATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF WINTON SINCLAIR TURNER CASE NO. RP13696684 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Winton Sinclair Turner A Petition for Probate has been filed by Soojung Ko Hobi in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The Petition for Probate requests that Soojung Ko Hobi be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative
to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on November 6, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept. 201 located at 2120 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Clare H. Springs, Diane J.

Saint Edward School celebrates with community outreach SUBMITTED BY ROSANNE LYON
I
n celebration of Saint Edward School’s 50th Anniversary, the students and their families gave gifts to children in need. Following in the footsteps of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, who serve the poor, the vulnerable and youth, Saint Edward School participated in the Sleep Train Foster Kids New Clothing Drive. With over 60,000 foster children in California, this birthday outreach helped students show compassion and generosity for children just like them. For two weeks, kindergarten through 8th grade students donated new clothes for children from their particular grade. Then several students were invited to deliver the birthday boxes of clothing to the local Sleep Train store at the Fremont Hub. As the school grows rich in blessings and gratitude for 50 years of Dominican education, students are learning that true birthday gifts received each day are lessons
Students from Saint Edward School delivered gifts of new clothing to the Sleep Train Store at the Fremont Hub to support their Foster Kids Program.
It was an honor to have Assemblymember, Bob Wieckowski, present Principal Greg Fonzeno with a Resolution to Celebrate!
rooted in Gospel values, a strong sense of family and community, and an opportunity to build lasting friendships in a faithfilled environment where each person is valued and loved as a child of God. As students reflected on what the “birthday outreach” meant to them, the following responses were typical: I would like to help children in need and make them happy. (Jillian, Grade 2)
Normally for your birthday, you get gifts. This was a nice way to give back to our community and celebrate our school. (Lauren, Grade 8) It shows our acts of service as a Catholic school. It helps us to keep our tradition in service and live up to the year’s motto: faith, knowledge, service and community. (Emmanuel, Grade 8) I wanted to help foster children feel special. (John, Grade 2) I chose to donate to other children because I realized it could happen to anyone. My friend could’ve been a foster child. I could’ve been a foster child. God really blessed me, and I felt the need to give
back. Plus, what a better way to celebrate our 50th birthday? (Catherine, Grade 6) I wanted to participate and help other children have something to celebrate. (Lauren, Grade 8) Donating new clothes made me feel helpful and loving to those kids. (Samantha, Grade 2) It made me feel happy inside my heart. (Janette, Grade 2) It made me feel great when I donated clothes to foster children because I’m a disciple of Jesus. (Nicholas, Grade 3) For more information on Saint Edward School please visit our website: www.stednewark.org.

Fremont Police Log and freeze the scene. The kidnapping investigation is obviously unfounded. Major Crimes is notified and take over the investigation. A male called 9-1-1 claiming he was inside the restroom at Los Dos Amigos. He told dispatchers that he had witnessed another male brandish two handguns. The suspect was described as a male adult with long hair wearing a dark shirt. As officers arrived to check the bar, they witnessed three males exit the back door, one of whom matched the suspect description. Officers attempted to make contact, however all three males failed to comply and re-entered the bar. Moments later, one of those males (later identified as a 31 year old adult male) ran out the front door and attempted to escape. Officers pursue on foot and catch the adult male near Bay St. and Papazian. Officers re-contact Los Dos Amigos security and they confirm a male matching the description of the possibly armed suspect is still inside. Security was unable to identify how many other associates the male had inside the bar. Mutual aid is requested from Union City and Newark. The bar was evacuated and all the patrons were identified. In the end, no guns were located, no victims, and no crime. The adult male who ran was found to have a felony warrant for narcotics. Ofc. Luevano arrested the 31 year old adult male for resisting and for his warrant.

SAN DIEGO (AP), California housing prices cooled in September as inventories grew and investor interest waned, a research firm reported Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the market is taking a breather after a torrid spring and summer. The median sales price for new and existing houses and condominiums was $355,000 last month, up 23.7 percent from $287,000 during the same period
last year, research firm DataQuick said. It was the 10th straight month of annual gains above 20 percent, but the median fell by $6,000 from August. The 36,027 homes sold in the state – up 5.9 percent from a year earlier – was the highest September sales tally since 2009. Fewer homeowners find themselves owing more than their properties are worth as prices have soared, prompting many to put their homes up for sale. The California Association of
Realtors said there was a 3.6-month supply of unsold single-family homes in the state last month, up from 3.1 months in August. A normal supply is considered to be five to seven months. Housing inventories have grown steadily since May, though supplies remain tight for lowerpriced homes, said Don Faught, president of the brokers association. The median sales price in the San Francisco Bay Area was $530,000 in September, up 23.5 percent from $429,000 the same period last year, DataQuick said. It was the 11th straight month of annual gains above 20 percent but the second consecutive decline from the previous month. Prices peaked at $562,000 in July. The September figure was also the smallest annual percentage gain since March. The median sales price in Southern California was $382,000, up 21.3 percent from $315,000 the same period last year, DataQuick reported Wednesday. It was the 14th straight month of double-digit annual increases but the median fell from the previous month for the first time since February, dropping by $3,000 from fresh five-year highs set in June, July and August. Some of the price increase reflects a shift in sales to more expensive homes. In the San Francisco Bay Area, there were 7,141 homes sold in September, up 3.6 percent from a year earlier. Sales for less than $500,000 plummeted 19.5 percent, while sales above the half-million dollar mark surged 30.9 percent. In Southern California, there were 19,112 homes sold, a 7 percent increase from last year. Sales of at least $500,000 soared 42.1 percent. Absentee buyers, mostly investors, purchased 20.7 percent of San Francisco Bay Area homes last month, down from 23.9 percent a year earlier and a peak of 28.7 percent in February. Absentee buyers accounted for 26.3 percent of Southern California sales, down from 27.7 percent a year earlier and a peak of 32.4 percent in January.
California property values climb SUBMITTED BY JAIME GARZA The total value of state- and county-assessed property increased for a third straight year. For 2013-14, values rose to $4.636 trillion, an increase of $191.5 billion (4.3 percent) from the previous year, the Board of Equalization announced on October 14, 2013. The statewide value of property assessed by county governments increased $187.9 billion (4.3 percent) to $4.545 trillion. The value of property assessed by BOE staff, mainly privately owned public utilities and railroads totaled $90.8 billion, an increase of $3.7 billion (4.2 percent). Year-to-year percentage changes ranged from a high of an 8.3 percent gain in Santa Clara County to a low of a 4.1 percent decline in Inyo County. The surge in Santa Clara County values was largely due to changes in ownership and new construction. In all, fifty-one counties posted year-to-year increases in assessed value, the majority of those increases
above two percent. Ten counties grew in excess of five percent. Six counties experienced a year-to-year decline in value, however the combined assessed values of those six counties comprise less than one percent of the entire statewide roll. The percentage change in Mono County’s values remained unchanged. Values jumped 4.9 percent in the North San Joaquin Valley, and increased by 3.7 percent in the Central Valley as a whole. In the Greater Sacramento Area, assessed values rose 4.1 percent, led by a real estate market recovery in Placer County (up 6.0 percent). The assessed valuation in California’s 15 coastal counties (which account for more than 60 percent of total assessed valuation) gained 4.1 percent, while valuations in the 43 inland counties rose 4.6 percent. San Francisco Bay Area values increased 5.5 percent, influenced by the growth in Santa Clara County. Southern California assessed values grew by 4.0 percent. All 12 counties with rolls exceed-
ing $100 billion posted higher assessed values. Increases occurred in the counties of Santa Clara (8.3 percent), San Mateo (5.7 percent), Alameda (5.0 percent), San Francisco (4.5 percent), Riverside and Sacramento (4.1 percent), Orange (3.6 percent), Contra Costa (3.4 percent), Ventura (3.3 percent), San Diego (3.2 percent), and San Bernardino (3.0 percent). Los Angeles County, with the largest assessment roll at $1.153 trillion, increased by 4.7 percent, up $51.3 billion over 2012-13. Each year, the 58 county assessors in California are required to report their total assessment roll to the BOE. The totals reported for 201314 represent property values on January 1, 2013. This value is used to calculate dollar amounts homeowners or commercial property owners owe their respective county governments in property taxes. These bills are generally sent in the fall.

High school students help prepare seniors SUBMITTED BY MONIKA SIU Senior Personal Emergency Preparedness, or SPEP, began as an Eagle Project for local student Louis Leung. Having been involved at the Fremont Senior Center while in high school, Leung had a vision: to educate as many senior citizens about emergency preparedness as possible. Knowing he couldn’t do this alone, he recruited his first team member and best friend Darshan Bagivalu to help with marketing. The two built and trained a team of high school students to make their tri-lingual (Hindi, Mandarin, and English) presentations a success. Months of hard work paid off. Over 200 senior citizens showed up to their three presentations this past April. The positive feedback from this project made Leung and Bagivalu realize the potential of their project. It prompted them to expand their mission and branch out around the Bay Area.
Since their first couple presentations in April, the team has been hard at work revamping the curriculum and gathering resources. SPEP recently affiliated itself as an outreach branch under Fremont CERT/PEP, and they’re currently working on raising funds to buy emergency prep essentials that can be distributed at presentations. The team of students in charge of SPEP is hoping to hold more presentations in neighboring cities. In the meantime, they’re working on a more pervasive marketing strategy, comprehensive curriculum, and potential sponsorships. Having already helped the seniors in Fremont, the SPEP team hopes to spread their message and tips to seniors throughout the Silicon Valley.

SUBMITTED BY DIANE LEYS Photography, as a practical process, began in the 1820s when French inventor Nicephore Niepce made the first permanent photograph from nature with a camera obscura in 1826. His photographs required eight hours for exposure. Louis Daguerre developed the daguerrotype in 1837, taking the first photograph of a person in 1838. Experimentation continued throughout the 19th century, and in 1884, George Eastman developed film. Technology has continued to advance bringing color, movement, and in the late 20th century, digital photography. Olive Hyde Art Gallery’s Curator, Sandra Hemsworth Petrich, has selected the work of three digital photographers for Olive Hyde’s next exhibit “Perceptions.” She feels nature can be experienced through their work, transcending the camera. “Not many times since I first saw the work of Ansel Adams have I had an experience looking at nature photography where it takes me to a place that I can understand and feel the same things the photographer experienced on site, documenting it so accurately, as if the camera never existed or got in the middle.” Berkeley artist Hagit Cohen works primarily with digital images, constructing visual scenes. Cohen has a BFA in Photography and Art History from State Art Teacher Training College in Israel, and an MFA in Imaging Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology, where she also taught photography for several years. Cohen explores the subject of nature and the environment in her current work. She has exhibited work in Tel Aviv; Toronto; Rochester, NY; Los Angeles; Berkeley; Oakland; and San Francisco. Her photographs have appeared in several publications. As a self-taught photographer, TJ Thorne’s early love of nature led him to the Pacific Northwest, where he currently lives. His work affords the viewer an opportunity to experience nature intimately. Each image is a moment in time, which remind us that the majesty of nature is out there for all of us. J. Alan Constant has been a photographer in the Bay Area for 24 years. After studying Photography at Monterey Peninsula College, he earned a BA in Art History with a minor in Photography at SFSU. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest and Arts & Antiques many times. In the late ‘90s, he began working only with art photography. He looks for interesting combinations of color and composition that catch the eye. Constant is more interested in how color and composition influence the two dimensional plane than in depicting a particular place and time. “Perceptions,” an exhibit of works in photography, will open at the Olive Hyde Art Gallery with a reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 25, and run through November 16.

Marriage - October 5, 2013 They finally said their “I do’s” on October 5, 2013. After 23 years of dating, Ray popped the question and Debbie, daughter of Newark icon Viola Blythe, said “yes.” In an “old school” ceremony, complete with “zoot suits” and dresses reminiscent of the days of Marilyn Monroe, attended by over 400 of their closest friends, Pastor Ed Moore performed the service at Newark Community Church. To honor a shared passion for motorcycles, Debbie asked for a Harley-Davidson emblem to be sewn into the belt of her wedding dress.
