iablo Ballet, an award–winning, professional dance company of Walnut Creek, begins its landmark 20th season with the Diablo Ballet premiere of Our Waltzes Trilogy by renowned choreographer Vicente Nebrada of Ballet Nacional de Caracas. The season opens at Ohlone College in Fremont on Saturday, November 9; performances continue through November 16 at the Lesher Center in Walnut Creek. The Trilogy premiered in May 1976 for the Nacional Ballet de Caracas in Bogotá, Colombia. Diablo Ballet’s David Fonnegra, who danced the ballet numerous times under Mr. Nebrada, is one of a handful of individuals given the honor to stage this work. This passionate ballet that celebrates romance and love can be compared to ballroom dancing with Latin incontinued on page 18
Photographers’ Best SUBMITTED BY ARATHI SATISH A photograph can communicate the awesome beauty of nature, wonderful mysteries of life, and great achievements of mankind unlike any other art medium. In order to see the world in a variety of ways and appreciate local artists, the Fremont Cultural Arts Council (FCAC), Fremont Photographic Society, City of Fremont, and Fremont Main Library are sponsoring the 20th annual “Juried Photography Exhibit.” An opening night reception will be held on Friday, November 8 in Fremont Main Library’s Fukaya Room. FCAC President Margaret Thornberry noted, “Year after year the quality of the photo-
graphs – the technical aspects, composition, subjects—seem to me to be at an even higher level. [The public is invited to] attend the reception and vote for your favorite People’s Choice photograph or drop by the library to enjoy the photos in the reading area.” Exhibit Chairman Jason Cheng who has chaired this event for the past few years, pointed out, “I think many of the changes are a reflection of improvements in technology. There are more large prints being entered because cameras, even relatively inexpensive ones, are capable of producing files that can produce better quality enlargements. Many of the digital SLRs now produce images comparable to

The U.S. military dates back to 1775 when defenses were created to protect our burgeoning country from the British Empire. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard are branches of the United States Armed Forces tasked with the protection of our country and its citizens. Commanded by the President of the United States, serving as Commander in Chief, the military operates in over 100 countries.

Remembered by an Act of Congress as “The most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals,” it was observed each year with thanksgiving and renewed efforts toward peace and good will. Following World War II that called for the greatest military mobilization in our nation’s history, and war in Korea, the Act was amended in 1954, changing “Armistice” to “Veterans,” thereby making November 11 a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

n estimated 100,000 individuals in Alameda County have either Type I or Type II diabetes. If you or someone in your life has diabetes, you know that managing the disease is always time consuming and often overwhelming. Left untreated or improperly treated, diabetes can lead to kidney failure, vision problems, heart and circulatory issues and a host of complications that exacerbate other health problems. A key to successfully managing diabetes is working closely with your doctor, according to Dr. Archana Bindra, an endrocrinologist and member of the Washington Hospital medical staff. “Active management of the disease is essential to prevent dangerous complications common to diabetes,” Dr. Bindra added. “Proper diet, sufficient exercise and managing blood sugar levels are essential; a diabetes patient needs to work with his or her doctor to successfully manage the disease.”
On Thursday, November 7, Dr. Bindra will discuss “Partnering with Your Doctor to Improve Diabetes Control” at Washington Hospital’s free monthly Diabetes Matters education lecture. The program will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. A diabetes support group discussion from 8 to 9 p.m. will follow Dr. Bindra’s talk. All who attend are encouraged to ask questions. Managing diabetes can become a full-time job and people with diabetes have to be aware continually that what they do and what they eat, or don’t eat, will affect their blood sugar levels. “Trying to take care of the rest of one’s life while doing everything you need to do to keep blood glucose under control can be very difficult. That’s why it’s important to work closely with your doctor who can help you stay motivated, especially when

Managing diabetes is a team effort. Learn how to work with your physician to better prevent complications related to diabetes at our upcoming Diabetes Matters lecture on Thursday, November 7.

you are feeling overwhelmed,” Dr. Bindra said. The Diabetes Matters lecture series is held on the first Thursday of each month and individuals and families who live with diabetes are encouraged to attend. No registration is required. All are welcome to the program which is designed to provide science-based information to help all community members increase their knowledge about diabetes. Diabetes is a life-altering chronic disease that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin and is unable to use it properly. Insulin helps the body process glucose (sugar) which fuels the body. When this process doesn’t work correctly, the body cannot successfully convert sugar from food into energy, causing sugar levels in the blood and urine to rise. The complications of diabetes can be serious, and those complications can begin very early after the onset of the disease. Most complications stem from changes in the blood vessels and nerves that affect various parts of the body, including the eyes, kidneys, heart and limbs. Diabetes patients attending the program are encouraged to bring family members and/or close friends to the lecture series to learn more about the disease and how to help and support the patient who is trying to manage his/her disease.

Washington Hospital Lecture Focuses on How the Body Works and Tips for Staying Healthy
H
ave you ever wondered why your body does some of the things it does? Why do you cough or sneeze? What is the purpose of mucous? What actually happens when food “goes down the wrong tube?” “Our bodies have a lot of common actions that are a mystery to people,” said Dr. Dale Amanda Tylor, a pediatric otolaryngologist with Washington Township Medical Foundation and a member of the medical staff at Washington Hospital. “We all get coughs and colds, we all produce mucous, but why do these actions happen and what can we do about them? I think helping people understand how their bodies work will also help people know how to deal with some of these things and when it’s serious enough to consult a physician.” She will talk about these and other body functions at an upcoming lecture titled “Why Does My Body Do These Odd Things?” scheduled for Wednesday, November 13, from 7 to 8 p.m. The talk is part of Washington Hospital’s Evening Lecture Series and will be held at the Washington Women’s Center Conference Room, located in Suite 145, at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont. To register, visit www.whhs.com or call (800) 963-7070 for more information. With fall allergies and the cold season already starting, Dr. Tylor will talk about some of the related bodily functions, including runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. These can be symptoms of an allergy or a cold. A runny nose occurs when your body is responding to an
Gain a better understanding of how the body works and some “tricks of the trade” from an ear, nose and throat specialist on how to get your body back on track during the cold and flu season. The Washington Women’s Center lecture will take place on Wednesday, November 13, from 7 to 8 p.m. and will take place at the Washington Women’s Center Conference Room, located in Suite 145, at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.

invader such as an allergen, virus, or bacteria. Mucous is normally present to keep your airways moist, but when your body detects an invader, your immune system creates an inflammatory response, she explained. This causes more mucous to be produced. Cold or Allergy? Dr. Tylor said an over-thecounter saline spray can help to open up your nasal passages and improve drainage. If the mucous coming out is clear or white, you probably have an allergy rather than an infection, she added. If it’s green on the other hand, you may have an infection. “I really want to encourage people to use the saline spray first before grabbing an over-thecounter cold medicine or asking your doctor for antibiotics,” Dr. Tylor said. “Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections and too much antibiotic use can create drug-resistant bacteria.” A cough is also a response to an unwanted intruder.

Women’s Center Class Focuses on Transforming High-Calorie Treats Leftover Halloween candy. Extra treats around the office. A few brownies from a batch you’re baking for a party... It’s hard to avoid treats when they’re everywhere. Then Thanksgiving comes around, and according to statistics, it’s downhill until it’s time for New Year’s resolutions. The point is: holiday desserts add up. A study cited by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) asserts that most annual weight gain - an average of 0.8 lb - occurs during the six-week interval between Thanksgiving and continued on page 10
On Monday, November 11, Maggie Villagomez, a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital will be teaching a "Healthy Holiday Cookies" class to help you transform traditional cookies into tasty treats that won't sabotage waistlines. Her goal, she says, is to focus on simple ways to make items healthier without sacrificing taste. The class will take place from Noon to 1 p.m. at the Washington Women's Center conference room, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue, Suite 150, in Fremont. To register, call Health Connection at (800) 963-7070. The fee for this class is $5, class size is limited.
your body suspects there is an infection or other invader, it coughs to keep the area free of various irritants, secretions, and infectious agents, Dr. Tylor explained. When you cough, a deep breath of air enters your airways, causing your vocal chords to shut, which leads to the buildup of pressure. She said the vocal chords then open quickly and a gust of air comes out, accompanied by the coughing sound. The most immediate action to take for a cough is to cover your mouth with the crook of your arm or cough into a tissue to avoid spreading germs. Dr. Tylor said over-the-counter cough suppressants should help to ease the symptoms, but cautioned against giving them to children under the age of 6. She recommends a humidifier or saline drops for young children. A sneeze also starts with an intake of air and the shutting of your
vocal chords. But with a sneeze, when the vocal chords open, the tongue and the uvula (which dangles in the back of your throat) block the air from coming out of your mouth, so it comes out of your nasal passages, she explained. Just as a cough keeps invaders out of your airways, a sneeze keeps them out of your nose. Cover Your Mouth and Nose Take the same precautions as a cough to avoid spreading germs, she said. Blowing your nose frequently can help to reduce the amount of sneezing you do because it reduces the body’s need to release the irritants. Dr. Tylor will also talk about bodily functions that aren’t necessarily related to colds and allergies. For example, what happens when food or liquid goes down the wrong pipe? What does that mean? “When food or liquid goes down the wind pipe, or trachea,
it is called aspiration and it can be deadly,” she said. “It’s the key reason we have to watch toddlers closely when they start eating solid food.” The wind pipe or trachea takes air into the lungs. It is located right in front of the tube that leads to the stomach called the esophagus. The trachea opens when you breathe and closes when you swallow. But occasionally when you take a breath while swallowing, food or liquid can go down the trachea instead of the esophagus, Dr. Tylor explained. “Our bodies are complicated machines,” she added. “It helps to know how and why they work so you can take better care of your own body.” For information about programs and services offered by Washington Hospital that can help you stay healthy, visit www.whhs.com.

RINGING ENDORSEMENT
W
hen piston rings become so worn that they allow oil to seep into the combustion chamber on the intake stroke, hot combustion gases will blow down the cylinder on the power stroke. As a result, oil will be burned off and carbon deposits may form on the cylinder, pistons, and rings. Even worse, if the rings are damaged to the extent that they cut into the sides of the piston grooves, the piston assembly can be completely destroyed. For this reason, it is always preferable to replace the rings with new ones during an engine overhaul rather than simply reinstalling worn rings. Unlike older rings, new rings have quick-seating surfaces that allow them to control oil immediately.
It's much cheaper and easier to replace worn piston rings than it is to have to replace the entire assembly. At BAY STAR AUTO CARE, our ASE-certified technicians know that preventative maintenance can save you time and money by catching small problems (like worn rings) before they require major repairs. If you can't remember the last time you had your piston rings checked, call today for an appointment. And remember, we do smog inspections! HINT: When new piston rings are installed, it is recommend that worn valve stems and valve guides be replaced.

The Union City Lions is asking people to look through dresser drawers and closets for used eyeglasses and donate them to the Lions Recycle For Sight Program. The Lions Club, a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill them, collects used prescription eyeglasses and prescription and non-prescription sunglasses as part of a unique recycling program. The collected glasses will be cleaned and prepared for distribution in developing countries where eye care is unaffordable and inaccessible. “We need everyone to donate their used eyeglasses,” said Kevin Finnerty, Union City Lions Club President. “In most developing countries, an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s wages and a single eye doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people.” The donated eyeglasses will be shipped to our regional Lions Eyeglass Center where they will be cleaned, categorized by prescription, and prepared for distribution by Lions and other groups. The Union City Lions Club often participates in trips to rural villages in Mexico. The volunteers accompany a volunteer doctor to an area where the doctor gives eye exams and volunteers distribute glasses to the local residents. To donate used glasses (including sunglasses and reading glasses), place them in specially marked Lions Recycle For Sight collection boxes. There are boxes at all New Haven Schools as well as the School District Office and the Corporation Yard. There are boxes at the Union City Library, the Union City Senior Center, the Nakamura Clinic, Costco, and at several eye doctors’ offices in Union City. Please ask your eye doctor if the office has a recycling box. All of these collection sites are available to the public year round. Lions Clubs also accepts used hearing aids for recycling in a program that is similar to their eyeglass-recycling program. Used hearing aids may be placed in the eyeglasses receptacles and will be collected at the same time as the eyeglasses. For more information about the Union City Lions, visit www.unioncitylions.com.

What will the jury award? Q. I suffered serious burn injuries when a can of “camping fuel” exploded while I was using it on a family camping trip. What can I expect in a law suit?
A.
You need to prove that the can was defective in design or materials, or failed to have safe handling instructions and warnings. You are then entitled to compensation for medical expenses, wage losses, pain, suffering, and disfigurement. I obtained a jury verdict of 1.7 million dollars against a manufacturer years ago in a similar case in Alameda County. The product was “Thrifty Camping Fuel.” A teenager, using the product to re-ignite a fire in his fireplace, squirted the fuel onto logs. A hidden ember ignited the stream from the can, causing a flash back, with resulting explosion of the can and catastrophic injuries. At trial we proved that the can was defective, lacking a safety device (a spark arrester) patented a hundred years ago. We proved that the can’s label was confusing – failing to warn of the danger and how to avoid it. Most people agree that medical expenses and lost wages should be reimbursed. But some disagree that money damages should be awarded for “pain and suffering.”
Why do we allow juries to award money for pain and suffering? The reasons are historic and practical. If injury is caused by another’s negligence, the law provides “reasonable compensation for pain, discomfort, fears, anxiety and other mental and emotional distress” in addition to medical expenses and wage losses. If the law did not permit such awards, the negligent party would escape responsibility for a significant element of harm. In some cases, economic harm is minimal, but “pain and suffering” is severe. For example, a 65 year old retiree who suffers the loss of an arm through another’s negligence will have no wage loss. Medical expense reimbursement will do nothing to compensate for the enormity of the emotional and functional damage resulting from loss of an arm. Are we to allow a negligent party (a corporation or an individual) to limit responsibility only to reimbursement for medical expenses? Or do we require compensation also for the intangible harm? For hundreds of years our society has answered “yes” to compensation for all harm caused, economic and intangible. Our society, by giving such compensation, acknowledges to the injured victim that it understands the loss, empathizes with the injured party, and attempts to do justice as best it can.
Society, by its jury award, tells the injured party that it recognizes the losses suffered – the emotional harm, embarrassment, discomfort, and difficulties, for example, of living the next 20 years with one arm. The emotional losses are as real as the economic costs. Since the jury cannot turn back the hands of time, money compensation is the best that can be done. We do not permit “self-help” – an eye for an eye. There is a universal human need to settle these matters such that the injured party finds acceptable and which avoids violence. Primitive societies have similar systems – livestock may be exchanged from one family to another to compensate for a wrongful injury. The process substitutes “reasonable compensation” for revenge. The jury’s verdict helps to establish and confirm acceptable standards of conduct for the community. If a jury awards damages, it sends a message – this conduct in our community is unacceptable. You must compensate for all of the harm done. The jury system is a valuable means of protecting and promoting an ordered society, with the wisdom of twelve people from the community. Government in the hands of the people acts most directly from the jury box, unfettered by “politics as usual.”

The Lesson: Jury awards for intangible losses – pain and suffering – are an important element in promoting an ordered society. Such awards establish the standards of conduct acceptable to the community, promote conformance to such standards, and acknowledge to the victim an appreciation of the entirety of the harm caused.

New railroad bridge in service SUBMITTED BY VTA MEDIA RELATIONS The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) celebrated a major project milestone for the Mission Warren Area Improvements Project in southern Fremont. The first Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) freight train traveled over one of the two recently completed bridges, spanning Mission
Boulevard and Warren Avenue. Shifting the UPRR freight trains to the new alignment of tracks allows VTA’s contractor to demolish the old freight bridge over Mission Boulevard. Once this is completed in November, crews will start widening the roadway, including the on/off ramps to Kato Road. This important milestone marks the relocation of UPRR from VTA’s BART Silicon Valley operating corridor in all but one location, currently located in Milpitas near Montague Expressway. With the trains now operating on the new bridge over Warren Avenue, the contractor
can complete the roadway construction which will separate the railroad tracks and future BART tracks from vehicle traffic which will travel under a depressed roadway. Warren Avenue is expected to reopen in June 2014 while project completion is slated for early 2015. “This crucial milestone allows the project to move forward on time and within budget,” says Michael T. Burns, VTA General Manager. “Meeting this milestone is also
essential to delivering the BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension project to the citizens of Santa Clara County.” The Mission Warren Area Improvements Project will enable frequent BART service in the future, increase safety, and reduce traffic congestion. The project is a joint effort by the City of Fremont, Alameda County Transportation Commission, Caltrans, and VTA. For more information about BART Silicon Valley, contact VTA Community Outreach at (408) 934-2662, or visit www.vta.org/bart.
Save your teeth, not candy SUBMITTED BY CHONG ORTHODONTICS Yes, candy is delicious, but it’s also dangerous for our teeth. Too much of the sugary sweet treats can do a lot of damage. Chong Orthodontics is making an effort to reduce this problem by holding their first annual Halloween Candy Donation Drive. Instead of overdosing on sugar, why not donate your extra candy to a good cause? Not only does it break braces and cause tooth decay, candy isn’t nutritious and can affect your performance at school. Here’s how it works: bring your candy to their office the week after Halloween and they’ll give you one dollar per pound of candy (up to a maximum of five pounds). As a thanks for donating, you’ll receive a goodie bag and an entry into a special raffle. If your raffle ticket is selected, you’ll get to spin their prize wheel for a chance to win a gift card to Gamestop, Best Buy, Jamba Juice, and more. All candy collected will be donated to troops stationed overseas through Operation Gratitude. They also accept cards, letters of support, and other supplies. This Candy Donation Drive is open to all children and teens. You don’t have to be a Chong Orthodontics patient to participate.

continued from page 3
New Year’s Day. The worst part is that people generally don’t lose this weight in the coming year, which adds up to almost a pound of weight gain annually. This means five years can equal five extra pounds. You don’t have to sacrifice taste So, is the only solution to give up the holiday desserts that you enjoy sharing with loved ones? Definitely not, according to Maggie Villagomez, R.D., a Registered Dietitian at Washington Hospital. On Monday, Nov. 11, Villagomez will be teaching a “Healthy Holiday Cookies” class at the Washington Women’s Center to help transform traditional cookies into tasty treats that won’t sabotage waistlines. Her goal, she says, is to focus on simple ways to make items healthier without sacrificing taste. “The purpose of this class is to teach people that it is possible to eat the foods you love at the holidays, but made in healthier ways that slash the calories and fat without limiting taste,” she explains. Villagomez says that for most people there’s an inextricable link between food and enjoying the holidays, which can be a challenge for those of us trying to keep an eye on our weight. “The holidays are about family and memories, and most people’s memories of the holidays center around food, particularly desserts,” she says. “Cookies are also many times easier to make than entrees or more complicated desserts like cakes or pies, so they are often enjoyed throughout the holiday season, like at church functions or work parties and potlucks leading up to those special days.” The downside? “The pounds can pack on fairly quickly if you’re participating in all these different food-centered activities,” she says. This is why it’s important to incorporate healthy alternatives that can help you take in fewer calories and less fat while still enjoying the special holiday foods you love, according to Villagomez. During her class on the 11th, she will show participants how to do this. Tasting is believing But Villagomez doesn’t expect people to take her word for it. “We plan on doing an interactive class where participants can taste some healthier alternatives to traditional cookies, along with sampling some new cookies that they can add to their Christmas favorites. We will also steer away from the cookie theme for part of the class and make some unexpected dessert gift samples that they could easily recreate at home and surprise their friends and family with, providing a new alternative to the traditional cookie, cake or fudge gift”. Villagomez says it’s all about modifying your favorite foods, not cutting them out of your diet completely. She also points out that deprivation often leads to splurges. “Modifying your recipes to make them healthier allows for the enjoyment of them without the weight gain - or too much weight gain,” she says. “When people feel deprived of their favorite foods, especially during the holidays, they eventually break and go crazy, eating three slices of pie instead of one, for example. But allowing yourself the things you like in a healthier version and in moderation helps keep your cravings in check and your weight stable.” Make over your holiday desserts The “Healthy Holiday Cookies” class, part of the Washington Women’s Center’s Lunch and Learn program, will be held from 12 Noon to 1 p.m. at the

Family Math and Science Night a huge hit ARTICLE AND PHOTO SUBMITTED BY ROOM 36 -7TH GRADERS AT THORNTON JR. HIGH Sponsored by the American Chemical Society (ACS), in recognition of National Chemistry Week, Thornton Jr. High School, in Fremont, held its first Family Math and Science Night on the evening of October 23. The event encouraged families to explore 16 fun and exciting educational stations. By far one of the most popular attractions was the liquid nitrogen ice cream station. Plenty of oohs and aahs were elicited each time the freezing liquid was added to create a cool smoke effect that spilled over the table and around the volunteers. You could tell that people were eager to try the tasty treat that
When asked what she thought about the evening, Jess Norling, Thornton science teacher and coordinator of the event, was thrilled and said the success was the result of there being so much help. She added, “There were so many volunteers from the American Chemical Society, Chevron, Cal, CSUEB, San Jose City College, Thornton teachers, American High School students, along with parents, and other business and community organizations such as LEAF (Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont), that an event this large and awesome could not have happened without their support.” She also thanked Alex Madonic, Councilor and National Chemistry Week Coordinator of the California Section of ACS, for all of his assistance in making the evening possible. The many volunteers weren’t the only ones who

had been created in just minutes as the line for ice cream ran the length of the multi-use room and snaked out the door for over half an hour. One station that had students clamoring to get in was Slime! Under the guidance of adult and high school volunteers, students combined polyvinyl alcohol, water, food coloring and Borax to make their own gooey, squishy, stretchy concoction. Seventh grader Kevin Fang said, “Creating this mixture was crazy fun!” Other stations included rockets and hot air balloons, origami octagons, three chemistry demonstrations, exploratorium light, plant aromas, and build your own molecules. There was even a station for students and parents to battle it out playing Connect Four. With such a variety of activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy and explore, including live entertainment provided by the Scientific Jam Band.
did a fantastic job; students did, too. Joe Drumm from ACS was impressed by the inquiring minds of Thornton students. In an email he commented, “The quality of questions I received at [my station] was incredible. Most students very quickly grasped the concept of the irradiation. One asked which wavelength was the best one to ‘zap’ them with; another wanted to know how long the sunlight would take vs. the black light. Simply amazing!” Thornton principal Stan Hicks estimates that upwards of a thousand people took part in this special event. It is certainly a very encouraging response to something that took a good six months to plan. Thornton hopes to make Family Math and Science Night a biannual event.

BART unions Ex-Bell city manager to keep ratify contract retirement funds that ended AP W S strike IRE
BY TERRY COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, California (AP), A second Bay Area Rapid Transit labor union has ratified the contract agreement that brought to an end a bitter labor dispute that led to two San Francisco area transportation strikes, officials said Saturday. BART said the company had reached agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, whose members voted to approve the four-year deal. ATU president Antonette Bryant said members ratified the contract by a “significant margin’’ but would not provide specific numbers. The other union, Service Employees International Union Local 1021, announced late Friday that its members had approved the contract, with 88-percent voting for it. “The Bay Area and our riders will benefit from these contracts because BART will be able to move forward with the replacement of our aging fleet of train cars and the needed upgrades to meet demand,’’ BART general manager Grace Crunican, said in a statement. The agreement includes a 15 percent raise and safer working conditions. The deal also requires BART workers to pay into their pensions for the first time and increases their monthly health care contributions from about $92 to $129. The unions represent train operators, station agents, custodians and maintenance and clerical workers. Both unions went on strike for nearly five days in July and after a state-mandated cooling off-period, went back to the picket lines for another four days last month angering thousands of commuters. During the second strike, two BART workers were killed by a train operated by an employee receiving training in Walnut Creek on Oct. 19. Company and union officials returned to the bargaining table and reached a deal days later. BART’s board of directors still needs to vote on the contract at its next meeting, which the agency said would happen “soon.’’
‘Hackathon’ aimed at helping migrants, research BY LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI (AP), Journalists, activists and techies in 20 U.S. and Latin American cities will brainstorm and code their way toward understanding migration patterns across the Western Hemisphere this weekend, the latest effort to use digital collaboration to rethink immigration’s role in society. Backers of the Americas Datafest say they hope participants in the 48-hour meetups will produce, apps, websites or programs that can be useful to migrants, the nonprofits that work with them and the researchers who study these issues. Datafest organizer Teresa Bouza first became interested in creating hackathons as a 2012 John S. Knight fellow at Stanford University, where she sought to help journalists become less afraid of big data. She said the hackathons are also a moment for those who usually work in very different fields to come together and show off what they do. “Most people have a technical background, since without them you can’t do anything, but it’s also really important to have people who know the problem, because the developers are really good with the coding but may not understand the issues,’’ Bouza said. This weekend’s Datafests will take place in Miami at Univision and Fusion networks’ new headquarters; at Harvard and Stanford universities; and at other colleges in Washington, D.C., and Alabama. They will also take place in Mexico, South and Central America, Canada and even Madrid. Amnesty International, media companies like EFE and Univision, and tech firms like Facebook and Microsoft are among the sponsors. The top global projects will compete for $2,000 awards. Facebook and Microsoft have become increasingly vocal advocates of comprehensive immigration reform, including measures to adjust the status of the roughly 11 million people living in the country illegally. Their immediate interest lies in making it easier to bring in more temporary high-tech workers, but Rane Johnson-Stempson, a principal research director at Microsoft, said there are other motivators. “If you look today at who’s programming, and who’s developing solutions, they kind of all look the same,’’ she said. “It’s often a lot of white males.’’ Hackathons give students the confidence to consider a career in the industry. And international hackathons tend to draw a more diverse group, which

BELL, Calif. (AP), Former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo will be able to keep his retirement account and pension despite pleading no contest to corruption charges associated with granting himself a huge salary and generous benefits. City officials say they are legally prevented from going after Rizzo’s 401(k)-style retirement account or his annual $116,629 pension, according to the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1hCRKPl ). Five former Bell City Council members were convicted last March of fraud charges after being accused of enriching themselves with public funds. Rizzo recently pleaded no contest to 69 counts and will likely be sentenced to no more than 10 to 12 years in prison. As part of the agreement, he will likely be ordered to pay up to $3.2 million back to the city. “It’s mind-boggling that after so much he did that he’s still able to receive money from the city because of the pension,’’ Bell Councilman Ali Saleh told the newspaper. Because Rizzo was an appointed city officials, not elected, state law says he can keep his pension. If he were elected, then he would lose it. Rizzo’s attorney James Spertus told the paper his client has earned the retirement funds. “He spent 30 years in public service and everyone is focusing on the last two or three,’’ Spertus said. Since his downfall, Rizzo has sold his home near the sea in Huntington Beach, a horse ranch in Washington and a stable of racehorses. –Information from: Los Angeles Times, http://www.latimes.com

leads to more diverse ways of considering problems – and ultimately more innovation, she added. Andrew Suciu is among those helping to organize the weekend’s event at Stanford. The computer science graduate student, whose own research has included programs to predict speed-dating outcomes, said he was drawn to the Datafest because he’d like to see more computer science research dedicated to solving social issues rather than building million-dollar apps. Bouza, who is the deputy bureau chief for EFE in Washington, previously created Datafests to examine campaign finance and money in politics. Those hackathons produced visual apps connecting companies, the issues they back and the politicians they support; an electronically searchable database of how the government is spending its money that can be updated daily; and the website www.doescongressreallysuck.com, which lets readers use data to judge the answer to the question posed by the site’s name. In the past year, hacking about immigration has gained increasing attention. In June, UndocuTech, a partnership between MIT’s Center for civic Media and the immigrant youth-led United We Dream, created its first immigration hackathon. The group followed up with a storython in October to help immigrants find new digital formats to tell their tales. Rogelio Alejandro Lopez, who worked with UndocuTech at MIT, said there is a notion that youth, particularly activists, are tech-savvy, but that much of what they produce is surprisingly conventional. “There are a lot of folks using tech and media,’’ he said, “but it’s keeping up the Twitter Page and the Facebook, the novelty has worn off,’’ he said. “They’re looking to create something new.’’ Lopez is particularly interested in expanding to involve families and even children in the events. Meanwhile, Claudia Nunez, another former Knight Fellow who now works for Human Rights Watch, created MigraHack last year, first in Los Angeles and then in Chicago, to teach journalists and the public the power of data through programming. The top winners of MigraHack, a play on the Spanish term for immigration authorities, included an interactive map showing how many times detained immigrants were transferred before being deported and a program that challenged users to draw the U.S.-Mexican border. Later this month, the nonprofit FWD.US, co-founded by Silicon Valley leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, is leading a New York Hackathon just for those known as “dreamers’’ – youth brought to the U.S. as children who are now in the country illegally. Datafest organizers have asked experts to suggest “challenges’’ for its hackers. Among the initial suggestions: build an app to find the best remittance companies or create an app that uses GIS software to help laborers track their overtime hours to ensure they get paid.

T
he year is 2033… global warming and nuclear fallout have created an environmental and economic disaster of global proportion. The governmental void has been quickly filled by the few who seek power and wealth at the expense of the many, creating an oppressive upper class minority, the zero point one percent, feeding off the weakness of the poor and powerless majority. The Republic of Mercantile Executives (R.O.M.E) has formed, claiming to be the antidote to the global problems plaguing society. Blackwater’s COO, Pontius Pilate, reports company stock rising dramatically as riots plague the streets and erupt between corporate states. Every corporate state now uses Blackwater to police their people. Held down by leaders like Herod Antipas, CEO of Judea, the people have nowhere to turn… until a new leader emerges to save them all. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s timeless rock opera, a dramatization of the last seven days of Jesus’ life, is thrown 20 years forward into a future that’s not too hard to imagine, and features spectacular performances. Director Michael Navarra’s adaptation of “Jesus Christ Superstar” transports you into an eerie post-apocalyptic world, where you’ll experience the intense action from all angles. “From the beginning, we decided to use every inch of the theatre as our playing space. As actors drop from the ceiling, cut through the audience, and play on all sides. The audience is in the middle of the action. The goal is to create an intimate, visceral, and immediate experience for the audience,” said Navarra. Michael Navarra is a professional producer, director, and actor in both theatre and film. His producing credits include “Us,” a feature film starring Alanna Ubach, which premiered in June 2013 at the historic Chinese Theatre in Hollywood; the pilot episode for “Finding the One,” which he also wrote and directed; the documentary “Resurrecting Love;” and Sam Shepard’s play “Fool For Love” in Seattle, Washington. Navarra has directed two other productions at Ohlone College: “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage
Blockhead” and “Proof,” which premiered as part of Ohlone’s SummerFest 2013 this past July. Aside from this talented director, the cast brings their share of talent and experience to the performance. Cliff McCormick, who plays the title role of Jesus, is a singer and actor who portrayed the roles of Jekyll/Hyde and Jean Valjean from “Les Miserables.” He has starred in film, as Clyde in “Max’s Hammer,” a Brooks Institute Short, and acted as Hedwig #2 in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” Stacey Lynn Bell’s experience in lead roles has prepared her for her portrayal of Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus who finds herself falling in love with him. This past summer Bell starred in two Ohlone College theatre productions, “Proof ” and “Pop! Goes the Mashup.” She was nominated for the Irene Ryan Scholarship for her performances in “Dog Sees God” at the regional Kennedy Center’s American College Theater Festival last year. Adam Fresquez portrays Judas, arguably the main protagonist of the show. Frequez
works fulltime as an audio technician. After hours he’s managed to direct numerous shows and has even written a musical review. In addition, he has performed in “A Little Night Music” as Count Car-Magnus and performed in Ohlone’s first “MashUp: A Musical Review” in 2012. His extraordinary singing ability is well-known, and actually got him cast in a reality TV show on CW-TV when producers saw a video of his musical proposal to his future wife on YouTube! With 15 years of acting experience and now as a director, Scott Di Lorenzo takes on the role of Pilate, who foresees in a dream the events of Jesus’ crucifixion from the beginning to the aftermath. Currently artistic director at Irvington Conservatory Theater, his acting credits include Sir Toby Belch in “Much Ado About Nothing,” Iago in “Othello,” and Reverend Parris in “The Crucible.” Paul Heijn has been connected to the Ohlone College Theatre Department for more years than he wants to admit. He has been part of four productions of “Jesus
Christ Superstar,” first as an apostle, then as Christ, then as Pilate. For this production he will portray Caiaphas, one of the main antagonists. Prepare to be transported into the new world order of 2033. You won’t want to miss this revolutionary show that will make you feel so close to the characters that you’ll feel like you are part of the cast.

Unfair labor practice strike has support SUBMITTED BY TODD STENHOUSE The University of California’s largest union has announced that its members have voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice Strike, with 96% support. “Our membership stands united for a workplace that is free of illegal intimidation against employees who stand up for the safety of the students and patients they serve,” said AFSCME 3299 President Kathryn Lybarger. “We believe UC should be held accountable for their serial law breaking.” The vote follows a formal complaint from California’s Public Employment Relations Board. Dates of a strike have yet to be announced, though AFSCME 3299 can lawfully call one at any time with ten day notice. AFSCME 3299 is the University of California’s largest union, and represents more than 22,000 Service and Patient Care Technical Workers at the system’s 10 campuses, five medical centers, numerous clinics, and research laboratories.

Letter to the Editor
Food contamination and reusable bags I am writing in response to a previous letter to an editor from the October 22, 2013 edition. The author’s main argument was reusable bags are the reason for food contamination. I respectfully agree with that part of his/her agreement, but he/she fails to mention one thing, proper hygiene of bags. According to a study by the Loma Linda University School of Public Health, if consumers washed, “the bags, either by hand or in a
washing machine, [it would eliminate] 99.9 percent of pathogens” (Sankin, 2013 February 7, p. 1). For example, when people use reusable diapers, they would be washed before reuse. The same should go for reusable bags. Although reusable bags may be part of the risk of food contamination, there are things we can do to protect ourselves, just like with any other disease. Consumers should begin re-washing their bags before using them to prevent
the risk of contamination. Jay Jonas Union City Reference: Sankin, A. (2013 February 7). Plastic bag ban responsible for spike in E. Coli infections, study says. The Huffington Post. Retrieved from: http://www.huffi ngtonpost.com/2013/02/07/plasticbag-ban_n_2641430.html

SUBMITTED BY HEATHER ZENG This weekend, Cub Scouts from Niles Pack 112 will start their annual food drive campaign called “Scouting for Food.” Scouts will distribute flyers door-to-door in an effort to collect cans on Saturday,
November 9th for the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Pack 112 will join roughly 40,000 volunteers to collect cans of food for the annual food drive. “Scouting for Food” was established as a service project by the Boy Scouts of America in 1988 and the annual effort is one of the largest collections of non-per-
ishable food. Food banks have come to rely upon the huge influx of food right before the holidays. Pack 112 hopes to collect 2,000 cans of food this year to help feed the hungry right here in our own communities. Thanks to the Scouts and thousands of parents and volunteers, many people who would otherwise go hungry have food for the holidays. As part of the Mission Peak District of the San Francisco Bay Area Council, which encompasses the City of San Francisco and the County of Alameda, Pack 112 is spon-
sored by Niles Congregational Church and has been serving the Niles community for over 17 years. Look for a Scouting for Food flyer on your door beginning November 12. It will have information about the types of food we are collecting. Please place food donations in a recycled bag or box and put it outside in view of the street by 9 a.m. on Saturday, November 16th. For more information please contact Pack 112 through our website at http://pack112fremont.scoutlander.com
inspired to try her hand at painting. The first obstacle Manning faced was in learning how to draw. She found a local teacher, Dmitry Grudsky, and signed up for a class at Jan’s Art Studio in Fremont. After being given an initial project of drawing a bust and finding herself at a loss as to how to start, Manning asked Grudsky to show her, line for line, how to draw the figure. “You draw a line and I’ll draw a line,” she said. She picked it up fairly quickly and moved from pastels and charcoal to oil paints. She was amazed to discover the depth of her talent.
Manning has since taken many art classes in a variety of mediums. She has amassed a collection of 100 or more paintings and won several awards. Her family and her faith community are very supportive of her artwork. Manning continues to paint regularly and considers it a “therapeutic hobby.” Her artwork brings her a great sense of peace, which helps her face the hard times. The feeling of peace is what keeps Manning going through recurring bouts of cancer. She is now on her third round with cancer. This time, it has moved to her lower spine. In spite of this, her only complaint is that a recent biopsy has not healed well and the pain makes it hard to paint at times. She is hopeful that it will be treated and she will continue in her creative endeavors. For the month of November, Manning’s work will be on display at Mission Coffee Roasting Company on Washington Boulevard in Fremont. This is her second
show at the café. She calls her collection, “Creations by Valerie Manning.” The paintings are warm, rich, colorful, and peaceful. Manning’s work consists primarily of landscapes. Many are creations from her imagination, but some are scenes from her travels. For aspiring artists of all ages, Manning offers this advice, “You can learn it. You don’t have to inherit it. It will change your state of mind.” This has been true for Manning, who did not come from an artistic background. She says, “You can do it. Someone who couldn’t draw could do it; you can do it.” Come by the café and sit with Valerie Manning. View some of her artwork and take some home. Share in her mission to spread peace through walls filled with creativity.
BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR To Valerie Manning, few things are sadder than a bare wall. “I see a naked wall and I feel sorry for the people,” she says, “I would like to put art in as many houses as I can.” At 65, Manning has faced her share of challenges: cancer, diabetes, and congestive heart failure. Creating beautiful works of art brings her a sense of peace, which she hopes to share with the rest of the world. After majoring in business management in college, Manning spent her career days in an office. She worked faithfully for the federal government for 30 years before she received her first diagnosis—cancer. The news was devastating and the treatment draining, physically and emotionally. She sunk into a deep depression. “I really thought my life was ending,” says Manning. It was her faith in God that turned things around. She sought spiritual guidance to help work through the difficulties brought on by living with cancer. The additional hardships of diabetes and congestive heart failure made it impossible to maintain her career. Manning says, “I asked, ‘What do I have to do to get rid of this cancer?’” It was then that she became

The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady’s vivacious niece, Meg, who’s engaged to the local minister.

Kids and adults alike use this opportunity to dress their best in costumes galore and bask in the glory of the experience. Indeed, this is truly a community event like none other as the “tricksters” are led through the town by the Cal Fire Department in their big engine fire truck. Following the truck, the school’s band, plays an upbeat tempo to add to the festival atmosphere.

On October 26, Fremont Elks Lodge 2121 participated in National Make a Difference Day. Lodge members cleaned up a very large front yard at a home in Fremont. Among the work included in the project was clearing the side yard of miscellaneous debris, removal of overgrown plants/bushes, and the trimming and cutting down of trees. At the end of the day, two dumpsters had been filled. Additionally, during October, the Lodge paid dues for four Cub Scouts whose families are temporarily financially challenged.

Mardonna ( Donna ) L. Oliver August 17, 1919 - October 09, 2013
Our beloved Mother died at her Care Home in Union City, CA. She was 94 years “young” and was born in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. She leaves her three children Thomas Glen Oliver of Salem, Oregon, Jerald Lee Oliver of Fremont, California and Jacqueline Beth Nielsen of South Lake Tahoe, California. She has 12 grandchildren ( 3 deceased ), 14 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren. Our father, James Glen Oliver, died in September 1977. She retired from the State of California Bay Toll Crossings and was in charge of hiring the toll collector personnel on the Northern California toll bridges.After retiring from that job she was employed for several years as a church secretary for the Hayward United Methodist Church. She retired from that job and spent the rest of her life travelling back and forth from the Bay Area and South Lake Tahoe.
During her employment and retired years she taught sunday school and the womens Bible Study at her church. She had a love of the outdoors, the snow at Lake Tahoe, growing her flowers and she loved helping people. Mom made every place she lived a happier place. Her hugs, her infectious smile, her laughter, her famous chocolate fudge at Christmas time, her jokes will be missed. In her families hearts she was always the Mother of the Year every year. Her Christian example will be remembered for ever and her prayers for us and others will be sorely missed everyday. I Love YOU Mom. “A bushel and a peck and a hug around Your neck”.

Obituary
Arlene Marilyn Shmaeff Jan. 3, 1941 – Oct. 23, 2013 We mourn the loss of Arlene Marilyn Shmaeff, an artist and arts educator deeply committed to sharing the joy of artistic thought and creation with her students and colleagues. Her impact on promoting the arts for children in Alameda County was profound, and she will be dearly missed. Arlene passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family and friends, after an unsuccessful but very courageous battle with a terrible form of lymphoma. She loved family, nurtured close friendships, and built commu-

nity. Arlene was an educator, a mentor to many teachers and artists, and an artist and profound critical thinker herself. She collaborated with passion and intelligence in designing strategies for teaching and learning. She struggled for social justice and the environment and inquired deeply into the spiritual dimension of life, encouraging this same inquiry in those around her. Arlene grew up in Los Angeles, and graduated from Fairfax High School and UCLA. She taught in public elementary schools in Los Angeles and the Bay Area and at a progressive school in Philadelphia. She received a Masters of Arts in Education Administration at San Francisco State University in 1977. She left the classroom to become Education Director at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland (MOCHA, 19942010), where she developed programs and curriculum and trained teachers in using art in the classroom to foster creativity and inclusivity, in the project approach, in critical thinking, and in emotional intelligence. Later, as a consultant, Arlene continued training and mentoring teachers in many settings. She believed fervently in public education as a matter of inclusivity and equity. She consulted and presented workshops for educators in many colleges and education systems. The teachers Arlene trained and students they taught learned to believe in themselves and give witness to their lives through their journals, their art, and their music. In a time of cutbacks, Arlene fiercely believed that a just society is built on public education, where there is a
need for the arts as creative expression as well as a primary ingredient of learning. As an artist, Arlene created many paintings, collages, and installations. She had gallery shows, but also enjoyed sharing her work generously with friends, and they now hang on the walls of loved ones. Seeing life itself as a canvas, she always insisted on beautifying the environment around her, whether in her home, the classroom, forest, or community spaces. She was known for her keen eye and knack of straightening pictures on the wall. She hiked in nature daily with her dog Max, grew a gorgeous garden, and created beauty everywhere, be it with cut flowers in the bathroom or through her loving smile and charismatic ways. Arlene loved family and friends and would leave no stone unturned to enrich their lives. She leaves behind her husband of 32 years, Terry Kupers, her son Hyim Jacob Ross, her stepsons Eric Kupers (and his husband James Wagner) and Jesse Kupers (and his wife, Karin Graves and their children, Shiloe, Chloe and Judah) her brother Bob Shmaeff, her beloved niece, nephews and cousins, her godson Josh Weiss and her goddaughter Bessie Weiss. A memorial service will be held for Arlene. Bring food and drink to share. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are welcomed at the East Bay Regional Parks Foundation.

Tri-City Stargazer NOVEMBER 6 – NOVEMBER 12, 2013 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: In October and earliest November, we “enjoyed” two major eclipses and a Mercury retrograde. In addition, we are still under the influence of one more exact square of Uranus and Pluto on November 1. This week, on November 10, Mercury will turn direct. The countless errors and misjudgAries the Ram (March 21-April 20): You have an opportunity to create a worthwhile and steadily growing investment of time, energy or money. The requirement is that you study necessary details in order to develop a smooth working operation. Physical activity and competition is favored. Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): This is generally a favorable week. You may be traveling. Anything you do related to the law, your relationship, the arts, education, the Internet, or publishing is favored. Your upbeat attitude will be the glue that holds everyone together. It is a good time to plan something fun. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): This is the week in which your planetary ruler, Mercury, goes direct. You will begin to disentangle various problems and issues that have prevented you from forward motion. You will find solutions to such annoyances as keeping financial books and other records.
ments of recent weeks will need to be sorted and resolved. Given these aspects it is no wonder that after wasting enormous quantities of time and money, the issue of the debt ceiling has been kicked down the road one more time. Depending upon who you read, the next hard debt ceiling line should be in March.
Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21): You have been pondering serious things in recent weeks and months. It is possible that you have criticized yourself for not producing more in your life thus far. Your friends and family would readily tell you that who you are for them is by far greater than what you have produced. Listen to them. Leo the Lion (July 22-Aug 22): It appears that you are involved in a home project that requires some fairly intense effort. This is not a drudge. You are aware the time has come and something needs to be repaired or built. Even if others doubt your ability, you feel strongly favorable about it. And you are absolutely right! Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): At last! Your ruling planet, Mercury, is turning direct this week. That will help you pull various knots loose. This is a time in which you may be studying something. It could be a new skill, a language (use the word broadly), or instead, you
may become the teacher or mentor for someone else. Libra the Scales (September 23October 22): You have favorable aspects in a number of areas. Home and family will give you more support than usual. You may want to entertain friends and family at your home. You find yourself particularly attracted to things of beauty or the arts. Enjoy! Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): Effort and self-discipline of the past brings you a work opportunity that will bode favorably in the future. The source is probably a friend or an acquaintance in your general network of friends. It will be a relief to have Mercury going direct in your sign this week! Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, is turning retrograde and will be so for the next four months. This heralds a period of looking inward and seeking support of your Spirit as
The entire month of February 2014 has a Mercury retrograde, so there is no hope for a decision then either. Congress and its inability to act on behalf of the people would be hysterically funny, if it were not so devastatingly serious.
you move through this time. You may have a project that needs to be thoroughly examined before you move to bring it forth into the world in a few months. Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): This is an overall favorable week. Good news or a growth opportunity comes to you from a distance. Your imagination as well as your wit is more freely accessible at this time. Someone in your social network offers assistance or special encouragement. You may be invited to a community leadership position. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): Well, here
it is. The spotlight is on you now. You can take this opportunity to improve your status in the world. It represents the beginning of a new stage in maturity as you demonstrate the wisdom you have accrued. You may be adding a role as a mentor or teacher to your repertoire of skills. Pisces the Fish (February 19March 20): This is a fine time to enjoy books and/or TV, meditate and journal. Give yourself time for self-exploration and even just "diddling around" and relaxing. Your dreams are meaningful and your intuition strong. Give attention to your dreams.

evelopment opportunities can renew the life of a city but also have the potential of distracting from the overall health of communities within its boundaries as well. Fremont has long struggled with the concept of unification of five historic districts and additional areas such as Ardenwood that have significant impact on its overall vitality. Over years of growth and transformation from a rural community to a suburban and burgeoning urban landscape, planning meetings of citizens and city staff have tried to answer the question of how to connect a large city composed of distinct neighborhoods and commercial districts. This is not necessarily a unique issue, but with the intermittent attention received, it has yet to be resolved. A focus on Fremont Boulevard as the “spine” of the City gained some traction several years ago, but like many grand plans before it, succumbed to council and staff ennui seeking glitz, glamour and something to enshrine their names in perpetuity. Although there is plenty of opportunity to place plaques, statues or whatever in the pursuit of a systematic connection between city venues, the focus appears to be on discrete and separate locations – Downtown, Warm Spring BART, etc. – without establishing
It is the responsibility of the public sector to ensure that proper infrastructure exists within its domain and, with the assistance of stakeholders, develop direction and reasonable rules. With adequate connections and rational controls, the private sector can then take a leading role in healthy development. It is here that Fremont tends to be confused about its role. Although many well-meaning efforts can be cited, the results have been less than stellar. Encouraging efficient and distinctive methods of travel to all parts of the City is essential for balanced, vibrant growth encompassing the myriad of needs for a city and region that has so much to offer. Light rail or trolley connections can spur economic expansion within all districts and neighborhoods rather than simply attracting people to a particular insular area. The means to travel easily throughout the city or region is a critical factor for organized growth. Bus transportation can help, but, if used, should be creatively designed to attract a wide variety of ridership. An Innovation District is fine, but how do these people interact with the rest of the City? If an area of Fremont can attract complimentary business, how can we make it fun and easy to hop on a tram or other conveyance to get a bite to eat, confer with complementary businesses, visit recreational sites, reach BART or the train station in Centerville? If we finally decide that nightlife is not a dirty word in Fremont, can we design connections for adults, kids and families to enjoy these amenities without scrambling for parking?
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Sharon Marshak
prise will be clamoring to develop lucrative businesses along lines of communication. Even though the electronic age allows instant communication, there is a pressing need for physical communication as well. For those in favor of pedestrian-friendly environments, this should be a natural concept. Others simply have to look at other cities with distinctive and widespread connectivity to understand how important this is for the vitality of a city. Let’s inventory our current assets and stretch our imagination quotient a bit to develop the continuity we need between residential, business, historical elements, recreation, education, government and… nightlife. A good starting place is to dust off the shelves of abandoned plans and review the Fremont Boulevard plans, revisit the shift of Highway 84 out of Centerville and seriously explore funding sources for a transportation paradigm shift of the area. We cannot simply rely on the new BART station and its accompanying opportunities as the savior of the entire City of Fremont. Can our planners and civic leaders tear themselves away from the lure of the glitz to create a bit of glamour on their own? I hope so.
When the public sector understands its role of infrastructure support, maintenance and connectivity, private enter-

Fatal Motor Vehicle Accident SUBMITTED BY MILPITAS FIRE DEPARTMENT At 2:44 a.m. on November 1, 2013, the Milpitas Fire Department responded to a report of a multiple vehicle accident with injuries in the vicinity of northbound I-680 north of Jacklin Road. Preliminary dispatch reports indicated that a vehicle traveling northbound on I-680 left the freeway at a high rate of speed and struck a worker performing maintenance on the shoulder of the freeway and then collided with the maintenance vehicle and caught fire. The first arriving Milpitas Engine Company reported one vehicle with heavy damage on fire. The driver was pinned in the vehicle and one additional patient was lying on the shoulder of the
freeway with severe injuries. Firefighters extinguished the fire and immediately initiated extrication efforts on the patient pinned in the vehicle. Simultaneously, patient care was given to the patient on the shoulder of the freeway. Milpitas firefighters extricated the driver who was treated by paramedics prior to being transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. The second patient was treated by Milpitas Fire Department paramedics but, due to the severity of his injuries he was pronounced deceased on scene. Responding units to this incident were the Milpitas Fire Battalion Chief, Milpitas Engine 2, Milpitas Engine 3, Milpitas Truck 4 and Urban Search and Rescue, two mutual aid fire engines from the City of Fremont and two Santa Clara County EMS Paramedic units.

Mariners swamp Warriors SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW Moreau Catholic Mariners won their first Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) contest this season by beating the Mission San Jose Warriors 426 on Saturday, November 2nd.The Mariners began to dismantle the Warriors early to set up a great day for Mariner Tim Hilton. The offense went to work and opened a huge hole in the defense on the second play of the game. Hilton took advantage, mov-
ing the ball 41 yards for his first touchdown of the day. He followed that with 140 yards running and three touchdowns. As the Mariner offensive display continued, Jullen Ison made some impressive moves of his own to add a 41-yard touchdown run. Hilton, with a great show of speed, ran the ball 48 yards to add another touchdown, making the score 21-0. Adding to his talents as a runner, Hilton showed that he can also be a weapon as a receiver; he took a swing pass from Mariner Querterback Kucas O’Rourke for 56 yards and a touchdown. Mariner defense was at their best as they held the Warriors to just 63 yards on the ground. One highlight for the Warriors was when Ben Torrez carried the ball 85 yards for a touchdown with just 55 seconds left in the game.

With the win, the Pioneers (9-14, 5-10 CCAA) complete a season sweep of the Broncos (10-14, 8-8 CCAA) and secure their first 2-0 weekend in conference play this season.

Sonoma State senior Taylor Varnadore scored late in regulation and the golden goal in with 88 seconds left in double overtime to hand the Pioneers a 2-1 loss in their final home game of the 2013 season. Chris Lara scored his third goal of the season for Cal State East Bay. Teammate Steffen Sauer provided the assist with a cross near the endline near the left goalpost. Seniors Jesus Leon, Paul Dewhurst, and Bryce Bookhamer played in the final home game of their careers. Women: Pioneers unable to close gap in loss to Sonoma State Sonoma State 3, Cal State East Bay 1
Sonoma State women’s soccer took the lead in the final three seconds of the first half and added two more goals in the second half. Cal State East Bay’s Ariana Gordon scored to end the shutout, but the host Pioneers came no closer in a 3-1 defeat at Pioneer Stadium. East Bay senior Donna Williams made seven saves in goal. Seniors Shannon Fontes, Katie Brawley, and Donna Williams were recognized during pre-game ceremonies as this was their final home game of their collegiate careers. Sunday, November 3, 2013 Men: Men’s Soccer Ends Season as Winners CSUEB 2, Cal State Stanislaus 1 Cal State East Bay men’s soccer finished off the 2013 campaign on a winning note going on the road to defeat Cal State Stanislaus 2-1 on Sunday afternoon. Derrek Duke Driggs scored his lone goal of the season in the first overtime period for the golden goal game-winner. “Today was an excellent team effort. It is a great feeling to win our final game of the season, and especially in overtime,” said the winning head coach Andy Cumbo. In five previous overtime games the Pioneers had failed to leave with a victory (0-4-1). A scoreless first half ended with the Pioneers still searching for their first shot on target. East Bay had taken five shots and earned six corner kicks through the opening 45 min-

utes with nothing to show for it. Javier Martin provided the team’s first shot on target and scored his team-high fifth goal of the season. The scoring chance coming in the 53rd minute was set up by the first assist of the season for freshman Till Wendler. Cal State Stanislaus (8-9-1, 7-9-0 CCAA) earned three second half corner kicks and used one in the 76th minute to tie the game. Danny Ochoa’s service was settled and shot into the lower corner by teammate Jose Ramirez to tie the game 1-1. Ochoa provided all three assists in the Warriors two games against the Pioneers this season. Steven Morgan of Cal State East Bay and Clint Long of Cal State Stanislaus were both forced to make one of their three saves over the final two minutes of regulation. Morgan, in just his second career collegiate start, earned his first career victory. Morgan secured the victory courtesy of the overtime goal scored by Driggs. The only two shots in extra time came from the Pioneers and the second was set up by Rica Guerra. His cross was headed down by the high-flying, 6foot-2 Driggs with 3:07 left in the opening overtime period. “This has been another positive step forward and we accomplished a lot of new things this season in the CCAA. We beat all but one team in our division, and we took that squad to double overtime,” said Cumbo. “I am proud of our guys and wish this season was not over.”
Cal State East Bay (5-12-1, 5-10-1 CCAA) finishes in fourth place in the CCAA North Division standings. The Pioneers improved their conference mark from 2-7-5 last season to 5-10-1. Women: Pioneers Final Victim to #6 Stanislaus’ Unbeaten Regular Season CSUEB 0, Cal State Stanislaus 4 Cal State East Bay women’s soccer ended the 2013 season on the road Sunday afternoon falling to nationally ranked No. 6 Cal State Stanislaus, 4-0. All four goals came in the second half and the Warriors (16-0-2, 14-0-2 CCAA) became the first California Collegiate Athletic Association team to go undefeated since 1998. “(Stanislaus) is an amazing team. We played them tough the first time around and the first half today,” said East Bay Head Coach Amy Gerace. “We made mistakes, but we worked hard and showed good effort.” Cal State East Bay was held without a shot attempt over the opening 45 minutes but was able to head into the locker room at halftime in a scoreless tie. However an own goal within the first minute out of the break aided the California Collegiate Athletic Association’s (CCAA) most prolific offense. “We were losing possession too much on goal kicks and were passing between our keeper and backline. We were trying to maintain control and a miss touch by our defender went into our goal,” said Gerace.
Karanee Demery repeated her effort from the original meeting between these two teams just nine days ago. She scored a twice within a fiveminute stretch in the second half and broke her own school record with goals number 20 and 21 on the year. Teammate Kirsten Coleman netted her second goal of the season in the 79th minute to cap off the scoring on Sunday. Sabrina Williamson, Katelyn Nebesnick and Maryssa McDuffy assisted on the Warriors goals, respectively. Ariana Gordon, who scored in Friday’s game against Sonoma State, was one of two Pioneers to take a shot on Sunday. Sialei Manuleleau and Gordon took the only two shots for East Bay, both coming in the 67th minute of play. Senior Donna Williams made five saves in her final collegiate game. Chelsea Lewandowski earned the solo shutout and was not forced to make a stop for the third time over her past four starts. The only goal a Warriors opponent has scored over the past six matches came from Cal State East Bay’s Alyssa Rodriguez back on Oct. 25. Two milestones for the host Warriors took place on Sunday. Stanislaus Head Coach Gabriel Bolton earned career win No. 100. Cal State East Bay (4-12-2, 4-102 CCAA) finishes in fifth place in the CCAA North Division standings. The Pioneers doubled their conference win total from a year ago in which they finished 2-11-1.

Huskies hold onto first place Football SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW The Washington Huskies remained in firm control of first place of Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) Football as they topped Newark Memorial’s Cougars 3020 on Saturday, November 2. The Huskies are undefeated in MVAL play this year at 5-0, but it wasn’t easy.
The Cougars fought hard to stay close, but Husky Quarterback Tylan Vinson used his speed and mobility in the first half to run up 173 of a total 189 yards for the game. His mobility came into play throughout the game but as the second half began with a 23-13 Huskies lead, this was game could have gone either way. Newark Memorial drew within three points when Kenneth Beck broke free and, with some nifty running, scored on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Quarterback Reggie Miccoli late in the third quarter.
The seesaw battle finally cane to an end with 9:28 left in the game when Vinson put together an offensive drive that got Nate Woudstra in position to take the ball into the End Zone on a 1-yard drive to open a twotouchdown lead. The result set up a game of the year scenario in MVAL football when the Irvington Vikings meet the Huskies on Friday with the league championship on the line and an automatic spot in North Coast Section playoff action.

Retired Teachers Week November 3-9 is California’s Fifteenth Annual Retired Teachers Week. Anywhere you go in the Tri City area, you will encounter retired teacher volunteers. We tutor in local schools, drive seniors to appointments, work in hospitals, assist in youth organizations, knit or crochet items for newborns or people in shelters as well as military overseas or in hospitals, and distribute food to those in need to name a few. In fact, statewide retired teachers have logged in more than 2.5 million hours that equates to more than $62 million in services. In addition to volunteering, retired teachers also have provided over $675,000 in grants, scholarships, and donations. So take the time to thank a former teacher in your area. We would love to hear from you. Also check out our website at www.calrta.org.

Thank you Seven Hills Improvement Group wants to thank all those involved in the Make a Difference Day October 26, 2013. We were thrilled to get these medians planted, watered and scheduled for maintenance. We met new neighbors and the some of the ones we already knew.
Union City Police Log SUBMITTED BY UNION CITY PD Monday, October 28 At 12:08 p.m., officers were dispatched to investigate multiple vandalized vehicles in the area of Polaris Avenue and Endeavor Way. Arriving officers found the vehicles had broken windows from being shot with a pellet or BB gun. Officers are reviewing security video in the area in an attempt to identify the responsible suspects.
Boy Scout Troop 275 and a couple from Troup 110 were there too. I personally enjoyed the whole thing. I really want to Thank You, Nelsen, Chuck, Tom and the City of Union City. We are very proud of the neighborhood the City and gaining greener medians. A big “thanks!” goes out to The City of Union City. Dave and Gina Garges Seven Hills Improvement Group - UC Lions
Tuesday, October 29 At 9:45 p.m., residents on Endeavour Way heard several gunshots and called 911. A bullet went through a fence and penetrated the wall of a home in the area. The bullet knocked a picture off of the wall inside the home. Fortunately, no one was injured. At 11:02 p.m., officers investigated an attempted armed robbery on Dyer Street. A 16 year old male was walking on Dyer Street when a male exited a red minivan and pointed a firearm at him. The suspect told the juvenile to empty his backpack. The victim immediately fled on foot and
was not injured. The suspect got back into the red minivan and fled northbound on Dyer Street. The suspect was described as black male, between 20 and 25 years old, weighing about 170 pounds. The suspect vehicle was described as a “rusty” red minivan with a gray grill. Anyone with information on any of the above listed cases should contact the Investigations Division at 510-675-5247. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact the tips line by calling 510-675-5207 or email Tips@union-city.org.
Newark SWAT participates in Urban Shield exercise
Sharon Yool Newark Unified Retired Teacher Member of Fremont, Union City, and Newark division of CalRTA
SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD The Newark Police Department’s SWAT Team participated in Urban Shield 2013, a planned training exercise along with other local, national, and international first responder agencies. This event was held last weekend. This 48 hour exercise assisted tactical teams as well as all first responders, to prepare for and provide a unified response to disasters and major emergencies. Urban Shield challenged the skills, knowledge and abilities of all who participated. It not only improves regional disaster response capabilities, but provides a platform for national and international first responders, as well as the private sector, to work efficiently and effectively together when critical incidents occur. Congratulations go out to our SWAT Team for their outstanding performance in this year’s challenge. Team Newark finished in the top ten again this year out
of the 34 competing teams. The team handled 36 critical incidents over the 48 hour event. Police Chief James Leal commented, “Having personally witnessed our team handling these difficult scenarios and some of the grueling physical challenges, I couldn’t be more proud and confident that our team is prepared to handle any incident that we might encounter in Newark.” Chief Leal
added, “This is a true testament to the quality of the people we have here in Newark.” The Department also hosted one of the scenarios that simulated a bioterrorism attack here in the city. Feedback received from Alameda County Sheriffs Office, the various dignitaries who viewed the scenario, and from the participating SWAT Teams was that Newark’s scenario was one of the best in
terms of realism, tactics, operations, and professionalism of the staff on site. A huge thank you goes out to the Sergeants, Officers, Dispatchers, Police Reserves, RAVEN Volunteers, Special Assistants, Explorers, and Cadets who all made this event a success!

Residential burglary suspect arrested SUBMITTED BY SAN LEANDRO PD On Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 11:00am, a resident in the 900 block of Sybil Ave. was in his home when he was alerted to the sound of breaking glass from a nearby residence. Shortly thereafter, he believed his home was being burglarized too. Upon calling the police, officers responded to the area and saw a man running from the yard, carrying a pillow case over his shoulder, weighted down with stolen items inside. The subject failed to stop for the officer and ran into the nearby residential neighborhood. Additional police officers responded, including a team from the SLPD Canine Unit. After searching several residential yards, sheds and garages for the suspect, he was apprehended in the rear yard of a residence on San Rafael St. Lt. McManus was proud of the community, stating, “Without the quick action by some of our residents, there is a strong likelihood that this suspect may have escaped and burglarized other homes. This is a prime example of how successful we are as a
police department when our residents unite to help us fight crime.” The suspect, a 19 year old resident of Oakland, who is on probation for burglary and grand theft, sustained minor injuries during his arrest. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and later transported to the San Leandro Police Jail. He has been arrested on suspicion of committing a residential burglary and resisting arrest. He will be arraigned in the Alameda County Superior Court on Monday, October 21st. The suspect’s name is being withheld, pending additional investigation by police detectives.

Photographers’ Best Second Place: Hiroko Muramatsu One Day of Passion Third Place: Rajeev Shankar The Psychedelic Pawn Rises
“Autumn Snowstorm” by Alan Bickett, Merit Award
those produced by medium format or even large format cameras in the film era. It is easier for photographers to make their own digital prints now, giving them more control over the final product.” A panel of judges selected the photographs that will be displayed. People used to enter one or two photographs, but now more entrants submit the maximum five prints, reflecting the fact that those who enter the show are serious photographers. Open to Fremont residents, members of FCAC, and Fremont Photographic Society, this exhibit is very popular among local photographers. With the advent of digital technology, many changes can be seen in the way photographic images are presented. “With digital technology we are seeing a lot more manipulated creative category prints in our camera club and to some extent in the exhibit,” Cheng says. “Personally I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. To me part of photography is capturing a moment in time. Some of the heavily manipulated images we see today are quite removed from reality, almost a different art form – perhaps digital art – rather than more traditional photography which is more rooted in reality. Many photographers would disagree and in any case it is hard to draw the line between the two.” This year, 168 photographs by 42 photographers were received. 106 photographs were selected for display and 12 awards have been announced. First Place: Hiroko Muramatsu - Pewter Vases and Milkweed Seeds
Merit awards: Gregory Scott Smith Handyman Art Widener - Falling Sand Eduardo Kneler - Cub Learning the Ropes; Courtship; The Bird and the Bee Alan Bickett - Autumn Snowstorm; Primordial Sea Debora Tidwell Sandpiper Browns Ian Bornarth - High Sierra
and Milky Way Visitors can also buy some of the prints on display; title cards will indicate whether a specific photograph is available for purchase.
