owadays, spending time with nature is no longer a daily occurrence, but rather an unexpected discovery. Those who stop by creeks and lakes to take pictures are surprised when spotting a farm or orchard. Gadgets and devices are “making our lives better,” but the hands-on experience of getting food directly from nature is no longer a necessity or priority. Instead of picking fruit with family, local grocery stores are a destination, to buy whatever is offered, solely out of convenience. continued on page 39
SUBMITTED BY BRUCE ROBERTS Yellow eyes gaze intently out from the framed paper; eyes surrounded by wolf hair drawn so finely that every strand in varying colors constructs the overall image of a presence, a watching presence, lurking, biding time, or perhaps just admiring the works of the artists around him. This fine pencil composition, “In Waiting,” by artist Terry Preston is just one of over 50 works on display at Hayward Arts Council’s Foothill Gallery. The “New Members and Emerging Artists” show features 26 artists in a wide variety of styles. Pencil, watercolor, oil, acrylic, continued on page 4

The event started when Home Depot Project Supervisor Madeline Reed and Speciality Assistant Store Manager David Webster noticed a large feral
cat population growing amid the store’s parking lot shrubberies. “We started working with the Feral Cat Foundation to try and get the population under control and one thing led to another,” explained Reed. “Union City and the Union City Home Depot are family and pet friendly locations and the pet adoption event was a natural fit,” she said. continued on page 20

The second in a series of articles about simple, practical solutions for lifelong better health
T
his is the next installment in a series of articles to help you and your family “get it right” when it comes to adopting healthier practices for a lifetime. Everyday living can be complicated and challenging. With each article, you’ll learn thoughtful, common sense ways to help you go from desire to reality—to make the right choices and acquire good habits about eating and moving, to feel better and more energetic, and to be healthier throughout your life. Now that September is here, most kids are back in school. Vacations and summertime fun seem like a distant memory, and children are reluctantly adjusting to new, more regimented schedules. This can be a challenge for parents, too. For one thing, moms and dads are again asking: “How can I help my child eat healthier at school, especially at lunch and snack time?” Start at the beginning “When young children first enter school, they gain more
power over their diet. It’s often the first time they get to call the shots about what they eat,” explained registered dietitian Kimberlee Alvari, director of Food and Nutrition Services at Washington Hospital and the mother of two grown children. “This is an opportunity for you to steer your child toward establishing a habit of making healthier lifestyle choices.” First, start with a good foundation at home. When you’re preparing or eating food, be in the moment. Set time aside with your child to sit down to eat. Be aware of and enjoy the foods you eat, rather than mindlessly consuming while watching TV, reading or playing videogames. When making decisions about school lunches and snacks, Alvari recommended having conversations with your child and framing the discussion around the things he cares about. If he likes academics and wants to do well in the classroom, explain that kids who eat healthy have an easier time learning, do better on tests,
and get better grades. If she loves sports, tell her how healthy food choices can give her the fuel to perform better as an athlete. “You need to help kids connect the dots in a way that is meaningful to them,” Alvari added. “This is part of the process of ‘hardwiring’ healthy habits that stick for a lifetime. And, whatever your message, don’t use verbal labels or absolutes, like ‘junk food.’ Rather than making healthy eating seem like forced deprivation, emphasize the positive aspects of a healthy lifestyle.” Whether your child eats from the school lunch menu or brings his lunch, there are things you can do to encourage healthy eating. Go over the school lunch menu together and talk about it, trying to agree on better choices. “Today, with the new Federal regulations, schools offer many more healthy eating options,” Alvari reported. “But, not all schools have opted into the Federal guidelines, so be sure to ask what’s being served at your child’s
Childhood meals, including school meals, are a great opportunity for parents to steer their children toward establishing a healthier lifestyle.
school. And, if you aren’t happy with the lunch program, you can do your own thing at home.” Packing lunch According to Alvari, making your child’s school lunch offers many options to encourage healthy eating. Start by encouraging your child to help plan the menu and participate with food shopping. Recommendations for healthy home-packed lunches your kids will look forward to include: • If you’re making sandwiches, assemble them the night before and refrigerate, so they are thoroughly chilled to last until lunchtime. Use whole grain
breads and deli meats, like turkey, instead of high fat alternatives, like bologna, and add mustard or light mayonnaise. • If the food needs chilling, consider freezing drinks—like an occasional low fat chocolate milk or fortified fruit juice in a bag. Then use the frozen drink as an ice pack. This helps keep food safe, and gives you child a deliciously cold drink at lunchtime. • If milk isn’t offered at school, encourage your child to bring milk, or fortified soy milk. Around the age of 9 or 10, a child’s calcium needs start to incontinued on page 5

Washington Hospital Honors ICU Essay Contest Winners Part 3 of a 3-Part Series
Two most commonly asked questions This is an ongoing column in which Dr. Mary Maish answers your health related questions. Please submit your questions by email to: askthedoctor@whhs.com As a matter of introduction I am starting the Ask the Doctor column with the two most common questions I am asked while sitting on an airplane with total strangers who are eager to twist my ear for medical information.
1. How do you know if you should take antibiotics when you have a cold? The common cold is usually a viral illness and symptoms may include a stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, achiness and low-grade fever. There are no antibiotics to help remedy a viral illness. Instead, the best medicines are those that help relieve symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and taking over the counter medicine are all that is needed to get over the common cold. One must be mindful of doses of acetaminophen or ibuprofen especially in combination drugs. These drugs have daily dose limitations that must be heeded.
2. What do you think of “ObamaCare?” Thus far I have successfully avoided giving an answer to this politically charged question. There are some merits and disappointments to this well-intended health care plan for America. Time will certainly help us all be a better judge of this complex initiative as it goes live across the nation over the next few years.
Mary S. Maish, M.D Dr. Maish is a board certified thoracic and general surgeon with a specific interest in the esophagus. She holds a Master’s degree from Harvard University and completed her thoracic surgery training at Baylor/MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. Sheemphasizes minimally invasive approaches in all aspects of her clinical practice and is known for treating her patients as if they were members of her own family. Dr. Maish currently serves as the Chief of Thoracic and Foregut Surgery at Washington Township Medical Foundation and is on the Medical Staff at Washington Hospital.
E
very year since 2008, Washington Hospital has observed National Critical Care Awareness and Recognition Month in May. This year’s observation included an essay contest for the intensive care unit (ICU) staff. There were 18 entries in the essay contest from a wide range of medical professionals on the ICU team. The top three essay writers were recognized during a staff celebration. Third Place Winner Heather Heath, respiratory care practitioner, registered respiratory therapist Heather Heath has been on the staff at Washington Hospital for 13 years. As a respiratory care practitioner and registered respiratory therapist, she works primarily in the ICU, but she also works anywhere in the hospital, including the ER and other hospital units. “I was inspired to enter the essay contest to further the awareness of critical care,” she says. “I wanted to show that there are different views of what is important in critical care. For example, I’m glad to be part of a team that believes, as I do, that we need to take the time to critically think about each specific patient’s needs in order to provide the right care at the right time. As a health care professional, it means a lot to know that I am providing the best quality care.”
Make a Difference
ber, support member or even our multidisciplinary team. Just taking five minutes of your time seems like a hard thing to accomplish when you’re trying to do a task. However, it can make the difference in the healing process – mentally, emotionally, spiritually and/or physically. “Right Care” is researching and finding a solution. Each person has a unique and incredibly complex system. In critical care, we cater to the individual needs of each person. As health care members, we have the resources available for trying new techniques, using new ideas and taking on challenges. As health care professionals, our goal is to find the best solution to improve the outcome or resolve the illness. Giving the “Right Care” changes the lives of those we are touching, including our own family and friends. Do you recall a person who touched your life, even as young as a child? It leaves a huge impact on the person we are today. People – young or old – have the ability to heal another person regardless of age. Age can represent experiences, wisdom and the ability to teach and encourage the next generation. Human society has many beliefs and religions. Giving the “Right Care” involves being compassionate and doing everything necessary to provide dignity, regardless of what beliefs are taught and enforced or how the “higher power” is inferred. Every person has the ability and opportunity to provide the “Right Care, Right Now!” Will you step up and take the challenge? Will you be the difference?

the Washington Hospital website at www.whhs.com/news. Washington Hospital is on the leading edge of critical care medicine.The hospital launched its Intensivist Program in 2008 and now has 9 intensivists who are part of the medical staff. Intensivists are physicians who direct and provide medical care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), where critically ill patients are treated.They are board-certified in critical care medicine and in a primary specialty such as internal medicine, surgery, anesthesiology, or pediatrics. Intensivists work with the attending and consulting physicians and other members of the critical care team such as critical care nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, rehabilitation services, social workers, case managers, and physician specialists as well as spiritual care staff and volunteers.The team works together to ensure the patient is getting the best care possible. Washington Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the Bay Area with an intensivist available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

gouache, giclée, mixed media, digital photography, and beautiful fabric art are all represented in this eclectic presentation. One imaginative image—Lisette Pomart’s “Natural Order”—shows hands playing chess with personality-packed pawns, all in varying tones of brown. The paint involved? Nothing but coffee. Of particular local interest are Jeanne Bertolina’s manipulated photos of Hayward landmarks. “From Dream to Reality” shows Hayward’s latest City Hall from the drafting stage to finished building. “Casper’s Hot Dogs” shows the iconic round-fronted building on C Street. Also shown are “Before the Boom,” featuring CSU East Bay’s former Warren Hall, and the classic Ace Hardware sign on B Street. While the buildings are recognizable, the artist has reworked them into a somewhat mystical appearance— surreal and aged. Vibrant colors abound in the fabric art on display. Dolores Presley, Patricia Bailey, Julia Vitero, and Nell Mays are all members of Sew N Sews, a quilting group that recently opened its own show at this gallery. Now members of Hayward Arts Council, they have contributed varied work, all with deep colors and a mixture of symmetrical and random patterns, all beautifully stitched and obviously creative. The painted arts—watercol-
ors, oils, and acrylics—are the most widespread techniques to be found here. Especially interesting are the oils of Gerald Thompson, “San Francisco in the Eye of the Egg 2” and “Ogallala Aquifer,” where concrete objects—San Francisco and the aquifer—are put into an imaginative setting. San Francisco’s skyline is fine, though seen through a jagged opening and sitting atop a huge whirlpool. The aquifer shows an approximate map of its real, undulating shape, overlaid with the more geometrical lines of the farms above. Carolyn WarmSun’s striking painting “Cave of the Medicine Woman” in vibrant reds was chosen as the cover of a book of poetry by Lafayette poet Christine Horner. The “New Members and Emerging Artists” show is sponsored by the Hayward Arts Council. To meet the artists, attend the reception on Saturday, September 13, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. New Members and Emerging Artists Friday, Aug 15 Friday, Oct 10 Thursday – Saturday: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Reception: Saturday, Sep 13 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Foothill Gallery 22934 Foothill Blvd, Hayward (510) 538-2787 http://www.haywardarts.org/

crease and continue to be higher during high school. You can also try alternative sources of calcium, such as orange juice with calcium or yogurt. • For morning or afternoon snacks, beware of conveniently prepackaged cookies or crackers. Rather, go for trail mix, dried fruits, veggies and dips, and well chilled fresh fruits and natural fruit juices. Try to set aside extra time on the weekend to make healthy homemade fruit muffins or oatmeal cookies you can freeze and add to weekday lunches. • As the weather cools, consider sending a thermos with warm soup or leftover casserole for a change of pace. “On occasion, I’ve even sent hot oatmeal with dried cherries and just few dark chocolate minichips,” Alvari divulged. “The dark chocolate, in moderation, is nutritious along with the other healthy ingredients. It’s wonderful when the foods we eat are relatively healthy, yet they taste decadent.” Staying active Back to school can also mean back to a schedule of organized sports, like soccer or basketball. The key point about sports or any physical activity for your child is to establish movement as part of a healthy lifestyle, not just something he enjoys but will quit doing once he graduates from grammar school or high school. “In the fall, I see so many children out playing soccer. But, it always strikes me that, once they are out of school, many kids stop
moving and tend to eat poorly. Then, after age 20, we begin to see higher rates of obesity,” commented Alvari. “Parents need to encourage kids to move and appreciate that movement, even after they quit organized sports,” she continued. “This starts with conversations about the fact that, by being active on a regular basis, your child is practicing a life skill.” “When it comes to eating healthy at school and staying active, the bottom line for kids and parents is to focus on the positive and don’t be too hard on yourself,” Alvari emphasized. “Remember, although its school time, neither you nor your child should be trying to achieve 100 percent perfection in pursuing a healthy lifestyle. Just like with school grades, a “B” or 80 percent is pretty good. If you can make healthy choices 80 percent of the time, you’ll do fine.”

Shape Our Fremont Where Fremont residents can learn about shaping proposed housing developments
An historic house at 34653 Fremont Boulevard in the North Fremont area may become part of a new residential development. A developer is proposing to keep the house on the property and surround it with eighteen three-story townhomes. According to the booklet “Our City Fremont: A Photo Tour” published by the Celebrate Fremont Heritage Team in 2006, the house was probably built by Frank and Julia Motha in the early 1900s after they acquired the property. The developer plans to renovate the old house, add a new garage, and fence off a portion of the property to form a separate lot with its own driveway. Initial plans for the rest of the property include the eighteen townhomes in six buildings with garages facing a T-shaped interior street. Vehicles will enter and exit from a single driveway off Fremont Boulevard, and visitor parking is provided within the site. Access to the front doors is via landscaped walkways between the buildings and along the walls. The development, which is to be named Beachwood, is currently under formal review by the City of Fremont Planning Department. The review will cover all aspects of the project including environmental impacts, architecture, landscaping, and compliance with city ordinances. Fremont residents are encouraged to send questions and comments about this project early in the review process. Emails regarding the Beachwood Development may be sent directly to the City Staff Project Planner Terry Wong at twong@fremont.gov For information and updates on this and other proposed residential developments in Fremont, go to www.ShapeOurFremont.com.

Luckily, Estately did the work for us and measured the family friendliness of California’s 20 most populated cities. We’re happy to report that Fremont came in at No. 4 on the list! With the second highest number of preschools per capita, second highest ranking schools, second lowest crime rate, and highest number of daycares per capita, we’re not really surprised that Fremont tops the list. If you’re curious to see what factors Estately took into consideration, check out the criteria below: 1. Youth population:The population of persons under 18 as a percentage of the overall population 2. Commute time: The mean travel time to work for workers 16 and up 3. Preschools: The number of preschools per capita for the population of people 5 years and under 4. Public education: The average school rating for public elementary, middle and high schools 5. Crime: The composite crime rate for violent crime, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson per capita 6. Libraries: Public libraries per capita 7. Open space: Public parks per capita (each city’s department of Parks and Recreation) 8. Housing affordability: The number of houses on the market affordable to a family earning the median household income for that city.

One step you can take is to enroll in the City’s Community Alert system, CodeRED®, to receive voice calls, text messages, or emails for emergency and non-emergency notifications. The City of Fremont’s Community Alert System, CodeRED®, is provided by Emergency Communications Network. CodeRED® is a high-speed notification system that gives City officials the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency alerts and non-emergency notifications to targeted geographic areas or the entire city. CodeRED® is a “reverse 911” system that currently contains land-line phone numbers for most residents and businesses. The City of Fremont strongly encourages all residents and businesses, as well as people who send their children to school in Fremont or work in Fremont, to register their contact information into the secure CodeRED® database to receive notifications by email, SMS (text), and cell or work numbers. To add your information to the CodeRED® system, you will be asked to provide the following information: First and last name; Fremont street address (physical address only, no P.O. Boxes); and telephone number (land-line and/or cell phone), e-mail and/or text addresses. Your contact information remains private and will only be used for community alerts. There is no fee to register. The Police and Fire departments may use the system to notify homes and businesses of situations that pose imminent threat to life or health, such as: • Evacuation • Hazardous materials releases or spills • Barricaded criminal suspects • Floods and fires in an immediate area The City also uses the system for nonemergency, time-sensitive information, such as:
structed to act as casualties, hostages or scared students running away from the incident. Within the narrow confines of a hallway, responding officers learned to recognize a hostage from a gunman and how to elicit usable information from people in panic and quickly assess their physical state. Breaching a room that may contain an active shooter, hostages and casualties presents a host of challenges. Executive Director of University Communications Jeff Bliss said, “It is very difficult, but that’s what it is all about.” Bliss continued, “CSUEB police department and other local police agencies meet on a regular basis for all sorts of training exercises, briefings and coordinated efforts; this exercise is not unusual. We have a very close relationship with local law enforcement agencies and have done a number of ‘active shooter’ drills – and other types of drills - in the past; future drills will be held off campus as well.” For example, in October, campus police will take part in the “Great California ShakeOut,” a major earthquake scenario. Preparation for campus shootings may be seen as a response to incidents such as Columbine, Sandy Hook and Isla Vista, but, Bliss says, such drills have been held for the past ten years. The primary purpose is to make the best use of local resources, sharing experience and sharpening tactical responses. Bliss says, “It is an opportunity
to make sure we communicate in the right way, not just use of hardware but defining terminology (i.e. student, shooter, dorm, residence hall, etc.). Each campus uses its own best practices for crisis drills based on their unique set of circumstances and environments. However, coordination between departments throughout the state and country is achieved through regional, state and national conferences and training. Thankfully, these set incidents were only practice drills, but Lombardi would be proud of the effort and professionalism that should give comfort to those who may depend on quick and effective responses by protective service first responders in times of need.
• Road closures • Scheduled major maintenance work • Planned traffic impacts • Missing persons • Criminal descriptions • City events There are two phone numbers used when the City activates the Community Alert system. When you see (866) 4195000 displayed, you will know the call is from the City of Fremont and it is designated as an “emergency” call. When you see (855) 969-4636 displayed, that call is also from the City of Fremont and it is a “non-emergency” call. If you would like to hear the last message delivered to your phone, simply dial the number back. Add these numbers to your phone address book so you know the City is calling.

countries, who picked up more than 12.3 million pounds of trash, according to the Ocean Conservancy, who is the International Coastal Cleanup organizer. In most of California, including Alameda County, storm water does not pass through a water treatment plant. That means that litter and pollutants carried into the storm drain system by wind and water flow directly into creeks and the Bay, where they harm fish, marine mammals and birds. The vast majority of marine debris—up to 80 percent— originates inland. Plastic bags and other lightweight plastic litter items are particularly hazardous because they float, entangling and poisoning marine wildlife that mistakes the items for food. Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers not only prevent litter from entering the ocean, but they also help gather valuable data on types of litter and its distribution. According to a 2013 report by the California Coastal Commission, cigarette butts and plastic litter, such as fast food wrappers and plastic bags, are the most commonly littered items. An estimated 20 million tons of plastic litter enter the ocean every year and has been known to impact more than 600 species of marine life. Recent Environmental Protection Agency estimates of the cost of marine litter to California’s economy range in the $500 million a year range—an average cost of over $13 per person per year.
California Coastal Cleanup Day In honor of the California Coastal Cleanup Day, the City of Fremont will be hosting creek cleanup events at eight different locations on Saturday, September 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Every year, on the third Saturday in September, citizens throughout Alameda Country gear up to join volunteers worldwide for the annual Coastal Cleanup Day event.

Honda Fit: Same Recipe; Finer Ingredients BY STEVE SCHAEFER
FAULTY BALL JOINTS
R
esembling a human hip joint, a vehicle’s “ball joint” is a spherical bearing that connects the control arms to the steering knuckles, serving as the pivot between the wheels and suspension. Because they play a critical role in the safe operation of any automobile’s steering and suspension, vehicle owners should be on the lookout for any signs of ball-joint wear. One of the most noticeable of these symptoms is noise that starts out as minor clicks that can be felt in the steering wheel and often progresses to loud thumps and clunks. Even more worrisome is difficulty steering, which makes the steering feel either too loose or too tight and compromises
safety. Any of these symptoms warrant an immediate inspection. Does your car make strange clicks, thumps, and bumps? Any odd noise from under the hood should be looked at immediately. Bring your noisy car down to BAY STAR AUTO CARE, where our friendly ASC-certified technicians can find the source of the strange noises and fix the problem the first time that you bring it in. We can also provide the preventive care that will prevent clicking ball joints in the first place. Let us make you safer on the road.

he Honda Fit is brand new for 2015—and it’s about as redone as a car could be in its third generation. On a new platform, the famously capacious subcompact boasts nearly 100 cubic feet of space inside, on a longer wheelbase but with a shorter overall body. It’s
I started with great anticipation, but was slightly let down at first by the reality of Honda’s attempt to avoid seeming cheap by over styling their base car. But over my eight-day loan, I warmed more and more to the little car. With mostly freeway travel, it delivered an impressively smooth ride and its firm suspension held things steady without much vi-

recognizable as Honda’s entry vehicle, but is upgraded inside and outside. I’ve always liked the Fit because of its do-everything, lively personality. It’s affordable, has great fuel economy, and can carry four (and possibly five) people in comfort, and holds an upright bass with ease. Although it’s compact, it feels roomy, as proven on a couple of trips over the weekend of test week. Since its arrival on these shores in 2006 as a 2007 model, the Fit has garnered a lot of praise from the car buff magazines for being sporty, despite its entrylevel mission. I was expecting this new model to feel like the older ones, and it does, but still, there’s just a touch less exuberance than before. Perhaps it’s the electrically-assisted power steering, or the new platform or the more serious interior design. Could it be the sober gray paint? Or perhaps it’s the CVT continuously variable transmission, which moaned on uphill climbs trying to move the 2,600-pound car.
bration. The handsome leather seats, the first to appear in a Fit, proved quite supportive. I noticed one day that the substantial, round speedometer directly in front of me boasted the cleanest, most traditional numbers you could ever want. My tester was cloaked in a gray paint called Modern Steel Metallic that would have looked appropriate on a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. The black interior flaunts plentiful silver accents, including some angular vents and C-shaped trim pieces scattered across the dash and doors. The body shaping is a preview of Honda’s new, more expressive design theme, with compound curves and edges and a deep rounded gouge carved along the side. Expect to see some of this on the next Civic. Today’s car designs are getting busier, and Honda is no exception. The 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, with its 130 horsepower and 114 lb.-ft. of torque, earns nice numbers indeed. The EPA fuel economy figures are 32

The Green numbers are a mid-pack 5 for Smog but a nice 8 for Greenhouse Gas. The Fit has been built in Japan so far, but this new one is made in Mexico, and features an Indonesian transmission. Many vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled south of the Border, and that has not hurt their widespread popularity, but it does save a lot on shipping costs. My tester still had a $790 Destination and Handling fee. The total price for my top-level EX-L with Navigation system came to $21,590. That bought the leather and the rest of the stuff you expect in a car these days, from keyless entry to air conditioning to power mirrors and windows and locks. You also get a nice 7-inch touch screen in the dash center that was mostly easy to use. There are no knobs, however, but that is largely mitigated by easy-to-use “donut” controls at the thumb positions on the steering wheel. Pick a station, raise or lower the volume, or set the cruise control with just a touch. The upgraded six-speaker stereo in the EX-L sounded fine, and streamed music through Bluetooth. There’s a USB port, too, down low on the center console, but it’s not hidden in the glove box or console bin—always a favorite spot to stash an iPod. The second-row Magic Seat gives you tall, wide space in midcar or you can flip the back seats forward for a long, flat cargo floor. The latter setting was perfect for bass carrying. I never got the Fit out onto the curvy back roads, and I regret that. Dressed as a conservative banker rather than a festive partygoer made my test car seem more sober that it might have been if it had been my Fit, attired in Mystic Yellow Pearl with a manual six-speed. The LX model with manual transmission starts at just $16,315, including shipping. At that price, it’s a compelling buy. And don’t forget—in Japan, the Fit is known as the Jazz.

ACWD work crew assists Napa SUBMITTED BY SHARENE GONZALES The Alameda County Water District (ACWD) announced on August 26 that a fully equipped utility crew will head to Napa - an additional crew is on standby for deployment - to provide assistance in the repair of approximately 90 water main lines damaged as a result of the 6.1 magnitude earthquake on August 24. The District, as a member of the California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (CalWARN), launched the deployment of three utility workers to provide mutual assistance following the quake. ACWD’s crew, equipped with vehicles and pipe repairing materials, are planning to spend several days in Napa working to address leaking water mains to help bring service back on line for those impacted.
As there are reports of the quake being felt throughout the Bay Area, and this being the largest quake since Loma Prieta in 1989, it comes as a stark reminder of the importance of emergency preparedness. In addition to storing water - a minimum of two gallons of water per person for three to seven days - households should be aware of the location of the shutoff valve for their water and gas lines. Additional suggestions, along with a complete Family Disaster Planning Worksheets are available at www.acwd.org. ACWD’s water mains were not damaged as a result of this recent earthquake but the impact it has had on Napa’s water delivery shines light on the urgency for seismic improvements in Southern Alameda County. With this goal in mind, the District’s Main Replacement and Seismic Upgrade Program (MRSUP) is providing Tri-City

Subaru dealership breaks ground at Fremont Auto Mall
Philip Leone (L) and Troy Duhon (R) of Premiere Auto Group with Fremont Mayor Bill Harrison (C)
Expressing enthusiasm for the future of its new dealership and the economic climate in Fremont, Premiere Automotive co-owners Troy Duhon and Philip Leone, along with chamber members, civic leaders and Steve Drew of Subaru of America gathered for a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony on a vacant lot next to Premiere’s existing Kia and Nissan dealerships on August 28, 2014. Duhan described Subaru’s sales success as a “brand on fire,” and the new dealership as a “great complement to what we have at the Auto Mall.” Leone, now a
Fremont resident, commented on the diverse immigrant fabric of the area, calling his new hometown, “one of the most exciting cities in the country.” Drew noted that Subaru is selective about locating its dealerships and is excited about the possibilities for the new dealership. He said that in addition to 40 new jobs, the dealership will create an additional $400,000-$600,000 of sales tax revenue for the county. Mayor Bill Harrison spoke about the economic impact of new businesses in Fremont, saying, “It’s about putting people to work.”
Groundwater regulations headed to Gov. Jerry Brown BY FENIT NIRAPPIL ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), California is on the verge of regulating its groundwater supply for the first time, as the worst drought in a generation pushed state leaders to overhaul the state’s longstanding “pump-as-you-please’’ policy. The state Assembly on Friday voted 44-27 to send the bill, AB1739, to Gov. Jerry Brown, whose administration has been involved in shaping the legislation. Two companion bills were sent to the Senate and were expected to win approval later in the day. The legislative package by Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, DSacramento, and Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, would require some local governments to develop groundwater-management plans and allows the state to intervene if necessary. The issue is critical as the state deals with its third year of drought, which has forced farmers to fallow fields and led to widespread unemployment in the Central Valley. Groundwater accounts for 60 percent of the state’s water use during drought years, yet it is not as regulated and closely managed as water from reservoirs, rivers and streams. The pumping has been so great in recent years that wells are running dry and the land is falling as water-drained soil is compressed. That in turn has led to billions of dollars in damage to roads, aqueducts, canals and pipelines, supporters say. “The state cannot manage water in California until we manage groundwater,’’ said Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego. “You cannot have reliability with no plan to manage groundwater.’’ But agricultural interests that are increasingly dependent on tapping wells have opposed the legislation. Republican lawmakers and Central Valley Democrats said the package was being rushed and called for more time to debate the issues. “The proposed law changes 150 years of established water law and creates another layer of bureaucracy and costs,’’ said Assemblyman Brian Dahle, R-Bieber. ``We should work until we find a consensus and regional bipartisan support.’’ Supporters say that while the bill would be the first statewide mandate for groundwater regulations, the rules would be drawn locally rather than by disconnected bureaucrats. The bill targets areas where groundwater basins are in danger of being over-drafted, or drawn from more quickly than water is replenished. It gives local land planners two years to create a groundwater sustainability agency, which in turn has up to five years to develop a plan for managing wells and pumping. Those plans can include installing meters and charging fees to curb excessive use. The state Department of Water Resources would step in and develop plans for communities that don’t abide by these rules. Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno, called the proposed changes “too much’’ and “too fast,’’ noting parts of his Central Valley district that have had no water allocated to them, resulting in farm workers losing their jobs. He and other opponents say hastily drawn rules could aggravate problems by limiting access to an essential water source. Before the floor vote, Dickinson objected to the idea that legislators rushed to develop the groundwater-management overhaul. “This has been a subject of discussion for literally decades,’’ he said, noting the state’s latest drought has been seen as a window of opportunity for reform. “If not now, then when?’

California schools chief to appeal tenure ruling AP WIRE SERVICE LOS ANGELES (AP), – California’s schools chief will seek an appeal of a court ruling that struck down tenure and other job protections for teachers. Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson says the ruling by a Los Angeles judge isn’t supported by facts or the law and says it unfairly blames teachers for flaws in the education system. The judge on Thursday affirmed his June ruling that found the state’s teacher hiring-and-firing rules violated the state Constitution. A lawsuit brought by students argued that they saddled schools, especially in poor neighborhoods, with bad teachers who couldn’t be fired. Torlakson, who’s backed by powerful teacher unions in his bid for reelection, announced Friday he’ll ask the attorney general to appeal. His opponent in the November race, Marshall Tuck, says Torlakson isn’t sticking up for students.

New Samsung smartwatch won’t need companion phone BY ANICK JESDANUN AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER NEW YORK (AP), With the holiday shopping season coming, Samsung and LG unveiled small improvements to their computerized wristwatches to try to sway shoppers. Samsung’s latest version can do more without a smartphone to go with it. LG’s has a round screen. Apple is also believed to be working on its own smartwatch, and could announce it at a Sept. 9 event. Smartwatches are another product technology companies can offer since many people already have smartphones and tablet computers. But companies have yet to make a strong case for why everyday consumers need smartwatches, especially when so far they have had little functionality without a phone nearby.
Samsung’s new Gear S, the company’s fourth major smartwatch in a year, will have 3G cellular connectivity so that it can receive notifications directly from social networks, calendars and other apps. The Gear S promises to offer turn-by-turn walking directions using mapping data from Nokia’s Here service. It also promises to make and receive phone calls, though it’s not clear how that will work without its own phone number. For this watch, Samsung Electronics Co. is using a fledging operating system called Tizen rather than Google’s Android Wear, which Google has promoted as a way for the same apps to work with watches from competing manufacturers. The new watch will have a screen that measures 2 inches diagonally, which is slightly larger than those on Samsung’s previous watches. The display will be
curved to fit better around the wrist. Samsung on Thursday also unveiled a headset called Gear Circle. Both products will be available starting in October, though the company didn’t say whether they will be available in the U.S. then. Prices weren’t announced. LG Electronics Inc., meanwhile, unveiled a watch with a 1.3-inch circular screen – a departure from the rectangular design found in previous smartwatches from LG and others. Like the G Watch that came out in June, the new G Watch R will use Google’s Android Wear system. LG said nothing about prices and release dates other than to say the watch will come out early in the fourth quarter. Motorola also is expected to come out with a round-face smartwatch soon, the Moto 360, that uses Android Wear.
Union City’s American Licorice Company donates school supplies to local children SUBMITTED BY SUSAN SHIMOTSU PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMERICAN LICORICE COMPANY

Rutsch hits all the angles of this complicated, wacky lady with a casual precision that strikes true and is wonderfully funny. “Wonder of the World” is a fun and zany ride, which might have you thinking twice about your life and inspire you to get out there and start making checks on your own bucket list. Tickets are $29 for adults, $24 for seniors 60 and over, and $21 for juniors. Discounts are also available for TBA, KQED members, and groups (10+). A Pre-Show Talk will be held at 7:10 p.m. Friday, September 5, and a Post-Play Discussion will follow the Saturday, September 13 matinee.

hat if you didn’t have the life you thought you were supposed to? What if you could start fresh with nothing but possibility ahead? Well, you’d high-tail it to Niagara Falls, of course, taking up a search for fate, signs, and that elusive beast called clarity. When she discovers a startling secret about her husband after seven years of marriage, Cass packs her bags, determined to leave the “odious monster” and “two-faced deviant” behind her. On a bus headed to Niagara Falls she reviews her sorely neglected bucket list and meets Lois, a cranky, suicidal alcoholic, whom she pounces on in order to cross off #81: Get a sidekick. Although they are set on divergent roads — Cass driven to fill herself up with as much life as she can and Lois’s determination to go over the Falls in a pickle barrel — the two stick together and fall in with other off-beat characters trying to make their way. Wrestling with life’s absurdities and cruelties the group discovers unexpected connections and finds that the universe seldom reveals a true and perfect path. David Lindsay-Abaire’s comedy “Wonder of the World” is a vividly punchy story
about the choices we make, the mistakes that can’t be repaired, and learning to accept what we have and to carry on in spite of it all. Director Dale Albright delivers an effervescent mash of emotions and action that builds into a crescendo of thick and wild entertainment in the funnier act two. Diahanna Davidson is flawlessly fabulous as Lois and is the standout of the show. Whether tossing off barbed lines or quietly pulling a face, her body language and delivery are perfectly tuned and hilariously striking making Davidson a screaming hit. While Cass calls herself “a tall glass of sparkling cider,” Eden Neuendorff ’s performance is more like a can of Red Bull. With endless energy and a cranked up volume, she instills a fever pitch that keeps the show on a high but at times can feel like too much. Davidson and Neuendorff are a terrific pair of opposites who mesh well together and create a compelling, watchable team. As former yarn salesmen turned private detectives, Kendall Tieck (Glen) and Michaela Greeley (Karla) are another great duo who easily play off each other and the rest of the cast. Greeley is delightfully sharp and vinegary and has some great moments of her own. Kip is hardly an endearing character, but Drew Reitz creates a
sturdy presence that comfortably folds into the group, and Jeffrey Hoffman is a steadyhanded and playful Captain Mike. Tina Rutsch is kept busy with six supporting roles, but flies her comedic flag fly at its highest as marriage therapist/clown Janie.

Top: Interior of award-winning Laurel Mews build Bottom: Outdoor living space of Fremont’s Presidio development
BY ROBBIE FINLEY PHOTOS COURTESY OF ROBSON HOMES Home building, like all other art forms, follows trends of the day while constantly searching for ways to reinvent itself, to anticipate its path as the needs of consumers shift over time. So where does comfortable living stand today, and how is it reflected in newly constructed homes in the East Bay? “People are moving back towards a traditional approach,” said Mark Robson, president of Robson Homes, which is currently celebrating 26 years of building homes in the East Bay and Silicon Valley. Recently, the Pacific Coast Builders Conference selected a Robson Homes build in Los Gatos for their Gold Nugget Awards’ Home of the Year. The prestigious award was given to their Laurel Mews community for design features that illustrate today’s home design trends, such as its “California Arts & Crafts shingle” style, brick patios, large front porches, and detached garages, among other features. Inside, the homes are distinctly modern, with open kitchens featuring a large island, sitting rooms accentuated by large windows, and even basements with a bar and a bath! “The thoughtful use of tight lots and efficient floor plans make this community ‘an inspiring example of smart density,’” the award citation read. Smart density, or the efficient construction of a home in a confined space, is a key component in places like the East Bay. As the Bay Area’s most populated sub region according to the Association of Bay Area Governments, the East Bay must accommodate its close to three million residents somewhere within its (roughly) 1,500 square miles of land. The East Bay, like Silicon Valley, mainly offers infill construction opportunities in which a home is built on a vacant or older lot where another building or home once stood. continued on page 14

Currently, Robson Homes is engrossed in a local project based on the successful Laurel Mews design. “We’ve used the lessons we’ve learned in our 26 years of building along with [Laurel Mews] as inspiration for our upcoming project in Fremont,” Robson said. On a three-acre lot known as the Bringhurst development, located at 42425 Mission Boulevard, Robson Homes will erect 24 new homes. Originally built upon in 1919 by George Olive Darrow, the land more recently served as the home of Judge and local civic leader Edward Quaresma. Today, the Bringhurst family owns the property and wants to maximize the land’s space while honoring its past. The original home is going to be moved and completely restored, while new two-story, single-family units will offer between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet each, almost an additional thousand feet of square footage over what was offered at Laurel Mews. The Bringhurst development is not going to be a simple cut and paste job; when determining the layouts of

new homes Robson Homes takes into account a number of considerations, everything from market research, accessibility to public transit and local stores to the area’s historic design trends and what would look and feel organic to its unique aesthetic. “[This development] all ties back from a design perspective, a community perspective.

plained, continuing that people want wide porches; “authentic” details like brick, shingle siding, and local flora; pre-wiring to facilitate wireless features; and front mud rooms where people can remove shoes or children can hang up their backpacks. The layout of the kitchen, too, is a key feature as it has become the most important room in the house, and now often functions as a social gathering point. Buyers want gourmet kitchens featuring stainless steel appliances, improved air circulation, and innovative storage options. Whether a single-family unit or a townhome, these trends typically remain same. In Robson’s estimation, both styles of housing are popular today, with a buyer’s price range and lifestyle being a deciding factor between the types. “Audible and visual privacy [are] considered when building townhomes,” Robson explained, adding, “You also need to get creative with bringing in natural light.” Sustainability has become an integral part of home building today, especially in California with the implementation of CALGreen, the environmentally conscious minimum building standards enforced by the California Building Standards Code. More and more buyers are looking for homes that are efficient in energy use and conservation. Sustainable features that Robson Homes has been installing in new homes are insulated windows, tankless water heaters, low-flow shower heads, wiring for potential solar panel installation, and water-conserving irrigation systems that water the grass from underneath instead of overhead, Robson said. Community building, above all, is at the heart of what modern home construction is aiming to accomplish. Robson’s mission statement says it all: “It starts with the family, then the neighborhood, and then the community… We’re going to create a lifestyle. We build the homes that people want. You’re gonna see the best of us in Fremont.” qqq

he Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, may be home to treasures that are thousands of years old, and a museum hackathon that kicks off September 10 aims to make the stellar collection more relevant and accessible than ever. “HacktheHearst” is expected to produce new tools, including apps, which will enable easier, open-source exploration of the museum’s digitized collections data and images. “It would take centuries to physically exhibit everything in our collections, given the size of our sole exhibition space,” said Michael Black, head of research and information systems at the Hearst Museum. The museum’s approximately 3 million artifacts come around the world, with especially strong collections from North America, ancient Egypt, Africa, the ancient Mediterranean, Oceania, South and Central America, and Asia. As a result of the hackathon, said Black, elementary school kids might not have to spend hours on a bus trekking to the UC Berkeley museum for a tour, or rummaging through an old-fashioned education kit that has been offered for years, but instead access much of the collection at their computer keyboards. The competition is open to anyone interested in giving it a go – Silicon Valley computer programmers, high school students, architects, designers, museum studies students, and more. Not your conventional, mad-rush hackathon, it will start Wednesday, September 10 and participants will have access to the Hearst Museum collections for several days until the winning apps are announced on Sunday, September 21.

Students digitizing Hearst Museum artifacts records dealing with everything from Mexican Saltillo serapes and ancient Egyptian artwork to Native American basketry. Some 196,920 objects in the museum’s collections have been digitally imaged so far. The competition will begin with an introduction to the Hearst Museum from 4:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10, that will include presentations by experts on collection-use needs of university researchers, students and tribes, a look at the dataset and an introduction of the mentors from across the campus and elsewhere who will be available to advise the hackers. Teams will form then and will be able to work from the Hearst or from home.
Roommates buy $20 used couch, find $40K in cash AP WIRE SERVICE NEW PALTZ, N.Y.

Hackers also can attend an optional Thursday, September 18 discussion about museums and their role in the humanities, digital tools and resources – an area of research, teaching and creation that is concerned with the intersection of computing and the humanities disciplines – organized by the Bay Area Digital Humanities meet-up group. The program will feature presentations on several recent museum-focused projects. HackTheHearst winners will be recognized for their contribution to the public service mission of the Hearst Museum, and receive some cool prizes, too. “One big thing we’re offering are unique, private, museum-themed experiences,” said Black. “For instance, participants are helping give the world virtual access to our collections, so we thought it would be nice to give the winning team personalized access to the physical artifacts that are of most interest to them, in collections storage areas that are normally inaccessible to the public.” And in addition to customized, expert-led collections tours, other prizes include private lessons with experts on cuneiform writing, hieroglyphics, flint knapping and other collections-related topics. The cuneiform lesson, “The First Day in Babylonian School,” will be led by Laurie Pearce of UC Berkeley’s Near Eastern Studies Department. The winner will be supplied with clay tablets and taught to write basic cuneiform, and be given a private tour of the museum’s cuneiform tablet collection. Among the event sponsors are EMC Corp., UC Berkeley’s Digital Humanities program, Research IT at UC Berkeley, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), and CollectionSpace, a collection management system for museums.

Fortune cookie turns Bronx woman into millionaire AP WIRE SERVICE NEW YORK (AP), A 75-year-old New York woman found her fortune in a cookie. Emma Duvoll won $2 million in a recent Powerball drawing after playing the numbers found in her fortune cookie. The retired Bronx resident bought the lottery ticket after dining at a Chinese restaurant in Greenwich Village.
The Daily News reports that the owner of Sammy’s Noodle Shop & Grill joked that maybe the waiters should get 20 percent of her winnings. Duvoll, a retired deli owner, picked up her prize on Thursday. She purchased the ticket for the Feb. 1 drawing at the Hannaford Pharmacy in upstate Pine Bush. She plans to invest her winnings and may splurge on a trip to Switzerland to see relatives.

Tri-City Stargazer SEPTEMBER 3 – SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: The air is loaded with tension this week as we approach the Full Moon on the 8th. Mars, ancient god of war, and Pluto, god of the underworld, are in cahoots, which suggest rigid attitudes and a desire to gain one’s goals regardless of the losses. On the global level there has been no reasoning with these planets for weeks on end. As indi-
Aries the Ram (March 21April 20): Listen to the important people in your life who comment upon what you are doing. You have significant power now and could readily run over those you care about like a steamroller. Allow the other equal space or there will be payback time later when the power is on the other side. Taurus the Bull (April 21May 20): Venus, your ruling planet, moves into the sector of life related to children, recreation, and romance. The goddess of love is happy in this territory and often brings new energy and light wherever she goes. Your opportunities to share your love, personal or humanistic, will be rewarding.
ebb and flow with the tides. This is hard for children and adolescents, but adult Cancerians eventually learn to ride the emotional flow up and down more easily. The Full Moon on the 8th brings with it a great increase in communications. Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22): You want to make a grand gesture, but the cost may be too great. It is best to proceed with general routine. Maybe you could offer a service instead of giving an expensive gift. You have a creative talent. There is a workaround to whatever may be holding you back.
Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): It is of paramount importance that you control your mouth this week. Although you have an opinion about whatever is happening, let it go and say nothing unless asked for it. Being right is not as important as maintaining human relations.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23September 22): There may be a crisis with your children or a lover this week. There are elements of obsessive thinking and criticism involved. Be intentional about keeping an open mind and don't insist on a black and white answer. Ultimately this situation is about necessary change and growth through metamorphosis. Pretty words, but not a lot of fun.
Cancer the Crab (June 21July 21): Because you are moonruled, your moods are prone to
Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22): You may hear unfortunate news this week
viduals, we need to observe that the world circus is a battle for power amongst numerous politicos. The best use of these energies is on behalf of the greater good. We must not allow these energies to send us off on personal ego trips. The result can be ugly.
about a family member or someone from your past. It may bring up resentment you put away a long time ago. This kind of feeling has energy and needs to be expressed. Maybe you should talk to someone you trust or write in your journal. See a therapist if necessary. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): Think carefully about what is truly important to you at this time in your life. Don't allow old habits or rules from the past to make your decision for you. If you do let that happen, you will truly resent the outcome. Rise above your circumstances to a level that can see beyond your ego and the situation becomes more workable. Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): Your exuberant heart wants to reach out in a wide circle, but a controlling power in your life is preventing you from taking action. You may feel you do not have the internal or external resources required to give what you desire. Search your religion or philosophy to find assistance.
Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): The pressure of pending change is making itself known in your work arena. The fulcrum is a situation that may no longer be tolerable. It is true that change is absolutely necessary, but perhaps a shift to a totally fresh solution would take the emotional sting from the situation.
Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): The Full Moon is in your sign on the 8th. In the three days before it is exact, you may be feeling moody. If you are a woman you may also be gaining temporary weight. You and everyone around you may be excitable now. Ground yourself with exercise or some kind of project that keeps you in touch with the earth.
Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): Listen closely to your inner self. If you have tolerated a rule well beyond its time, you may rebel and demand to do something different now. This is so even if you are the one who made the rule. Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are the qualities prominent during this period.

A thrilling murder mystery by Agatha Christie, directed by Paula Chenoweth and Larry A thriller as well as a puzzler set in a foggy estate in Wales.

Pandora’s box of loves and hates, suspicions and intrigues opens to the night air. 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The pet adoption event takes place during Home Depot’s Kids Workshop, a free craft activity, held on the first Saturday of every month. Children from five to twelve years old are welcome to build a bird house in celebration of the 75th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz.” The Oz theme doesn’t stop with the little ones, though. Fido will need some ruby slippers: there will be a “Wizard of Oz” costume contest for pets brought from home. Don’t miss out on the fashion show featuring cats and dogs up for adoption, too. Home Depot is also offering free workshops for adults during the adoption event: how to fix and build your own lamps, fix screens, and how to cut plexiglass. This event is more than just about adoption; it is a place to reconnect with the community. Several organizations and vendors will be present during the event. Union City Police Department will be attending with their K-9 unit, and Union City’s Boy Scouts race homemade minicars. Others include Waggin’ Tails Pet Shop, Petco, Fingerprinting from New York Life, Dusty Paws Rescue, Adopt a Rescue, Glidden Paint, Solar City, Lumpy Paws Pet Portraiture, and many more.
A scavenger hunt will be held with the chance to win a dog house or cat tree. Bring pet food to enter the hunt; it will be donated to participating animal shelters. But the main scavenger hunt of the day is finding a pet to bring home. “This event finds homes for pets that would lose their lives if not adopted,” said Reed. It is no secret that owning a pet is an incredibly rewarding experi-
ence. Stop by Home Depot’s animal adoption event and meet a new furry friend and companion. Pet Adoption at Home Depot Saturday, Sept 6 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Home Depot 30055 Industrial Parkway SW, Union City (510) 489-9400 Free

City of Fremont News Briefs Please join families, friends, coworkers, scout troops, school groups, service clubs, and individuals as they come together to celebrate and share their appreciation of California’s fabulous coast and waterways. If you are interested in participating, please pre-register at www.Fremont.gov/CoastalCleanupDay to guarantee a spot. Please note the City does not allow anyone under the age of six to participate in this event. For more information please contact the Coastal Cleanup Day Coordinator at environment@fremont.gov or 510-494-4570. Downtown on the Rise Demolition Celebration On September 9 at 9 a.m., the City of Fremont invites the community to attend our “Downtown on the Rise Demolition Celebration.” The event will include speakers, refreshments, music, and the start of the demolition of a three-story building located at 39138 Fremont Blvd. The demolition will allow for the full extension of Capitol Avenue to Fremont Boulevard. The demolition follows on the heels of the Capitol Avenue Extension Groundbreaking Event in July and is part of the extension project that is the first phase of Downtown implementation efforts, and a catalyst for future development. The journey to extend Capitol Avenue to Fremont Boulevard involved the acquisition of the building located on Fremont Boulevard. The demolition of 39138 Fremont Blvd. is a milestone in this development as the extension of Capitol Avenue to Fremont Boulevard will be the thread that knits together transit options, regional shopping centers, major employment centers and surrounding neighborhoods into an area that will galvanize as a community focal point.

Soccer Club Summerfest SUBMITTED BY JENNI INOUYE The Elite Impact U11 girls soccer team, made up of 9 - 10 year olds from the Tri City area, placed third in the Walnut Creek Soccer Club Summerfest 2014, on August 23-24. The team was short players so guest player, Kaya Rosa from Elite Strikers U10 team, was added to the roster for the two day tournament. On Saturday, August 23, goals from Maizie Pimentel and Emma Valadez along with solid support from Arianna Barbeau, Isabela Contreras, Isabella Hernandez, Kaya Rosa, Marisol Ibarra-Sanchez, and Alexis Jones resulted in a 2-1 victory against the Montclair Clippers 03 Red team. In the second game against Walnut Creek SC Villareal team, Elite Impact came away with a 7-2 win. Emma Valadez scored four goals along with Niki Clark’s two goals and one goal for Maria Camacho. Elite Impact’s next opponent, Walnut Creek SC Barcelona, resulted in their first loss. Barcelona
CSUEB women’s soccer preseason coaches’ poll
played a good strong game and scored five in the first half. The Impact Girls played a strong defensive second half, but unfortunately the offense could not find the net. The outcome was a 0-5 loss. Sunday, August 24, the afternoon 3rd place consolation game, against Central Marin Magic was an exciting “come from behind” victory for Elite Impact. The team was down 1-3 at halftime, but Coaches Tomas Clark and AdrianValadez would not allow the girls to give up. The team scored two more times and when regulation time was over, the score was 3-3. The game went into sudden death overtime with the first team to score winning (Golden goal). “Keeper” Jalina Vargas played big and prevented Magic from scoring on the opening drive. Elite Impact’s “Little Pita,” Emma Valadez, came back with beautiful cross towards the net and Niki Clark was able to strike the ball into the back of the net to score the winning goal for a 4-3 victory. The team is now getting ready for the start of the Fall NorCal Premier Youth League Gold Division.
Titan JV squad blanks Rebels
SUBMITTED BY: SCOTT CHISHOLM The Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) women’s soccer season is scheduled to get underway in early September. The Pioneers will enter the season picked 11th out of the 12 teams in the preseason coaches’ poll, sitting narrowly behind San Francisco State and Cal State Dominguez Hills. This offseason the coaches from around the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) voted Cal State Stanislaus as the leader heading into the 2014 campaign. The top five teams are separated by only seven points in Stanislaus (103), Sonoma State (100), Cal State San Bernardino (98), Cal State L.A. (97), and UC San Diego (96) making up the group.

Ohlone College vs. College of Alameda
SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW John F. Kennedy Titans Junior Varsity (JV) football team dismantled the JV Rebels of San Lorenzo 60-0 in a great show of defensive line play. Titans linebackers had a great day, closing running lanes and helping the line to penetrate the Rebels’ backfield. This constant disruption of the Rebels offense gave the Titans excellent field position throughout the game. Although blanked on the field, the Rebel JV squad is in a building year; coaches were upbeat about prospects for the future since the team is composed of primarily freshmen and sophomores. Titan coaching staff was optimistic about the future of their varsity squad after watching the play of their JV players.

Men’s soccer preseason coaches’ poll SUBMITTED BY SCOTT CHISHOLM The Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) men’s soccer season is set to begin on Saturday, September 6, against Academy of Art. The Pioneers will enter the season picked 11th out of 12 teams in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Preseason Coaches’ Poll, at the bottom of a tightly bunched group of four squads. This offseason the coaches from around the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) voted Cal State L.A. (120) only one first place vote shy of being the unanimous favorite to win the league in 2014. Only 11 points separates teams two through six led by Cal State Dominguez Hills (94), Chico State (92), and Cal Poly Pomona (89).
Local trio joins Pioneer soccer SUBMITTED BY SCOTT CHISHOLM Local high school talents Janelle Herrera (Fremont, Washington HS), Megan Massone (Fremont, Washington HS), and Nicole Lutz (Livermore, Granada HS) will play for Cal State University East Bay women’s soccer and Head Coach Amy Gerace in 2014. Herrera and Massone will remain teammates as they make the transition from high school to the collegiate ranks together. Both were senior captains last season and Herrera led the Huskies with five goals, seven assists, and 17 total points from the back line according to maxpreps.com. “Janelle is a very strong, powerful center back. She is an excellent organizer. We are excited to have her join the Pioneers,” commented Gerace. “Megan is very complimentary to our style of play. She is extremely hard working and crafty in the midfield.” Lutz was a member of the Matadors varsity soccer team in 201314 as a senior and played for West Coast Sporting Club. She played three years of varsity basketball and was named an East Bay Athletic League (EBAL) Honorable Mention selection as a senior. “(Nicole) is a hard working center back with an amazing work rate. She has an extremely sweet personality but is tough as nails,” stated Gerace.

Fremont Football League celebrates 50 years SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW The Fremont Football League celebrated its 50th year with an all day event and a large, enthusiastic crowd. Five decades of service to the community has focused on giving young athletes hope and direction toward a good and honest life and a starting point for those who want to pursue a career in sports. Many local high school coaches began their sports training in Fremont Football and a few have become professional players. Festivities began with a parade of teams from all divisions around the field and a run under the goal post with team flags flying high. Cheer leaders from each team put on a show of support and rallied the crowd to acknowledge the hard work from coaches, staff, players and parents to prepare for the new season. League play will start Saturday September 6 at Irvington Community Park (41885 Blacow Rd, Fremont); the first game starts at 9 a.m. as the Steelers face the 49ers. For more information, visit: http://fremontfootball.org/
Titans take control SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW The John F. Kennedy Titans took control early as their offensive line found weakness in the San Lorenzo Rebels defensive line, opening holes for their runners. Titans Kaleem Abubukari and Josh McKinnie ran for 388 yards; Kaleem Abubukari had a game high 136 yards and Josh McKinnie added 105 yards of his own. Ryan Lord collected 72 yards and added two touchdowns adding to the impressive victory. However, the final blow for the Titans came by way of a pass on the last play of the first half when Jacob Murrieta received a pass from Shane Sanute to give the Titans a 28-18 lead at the half. Kennedy’s Shane Sanute also found Murrieta three more times for 39 yards; the most important in third quarter to increase the Titans lead to 34-18 and put the game out of reach. Even with the loss, Rebels quarterback Kevin Mosi had a good day, passing for 175 yards; Bejour Wilson received seven catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns. But Titans linebackers just seemed to be the right place all day and make the right plays to win the game. Final score: JF Kennedy 42, San Lorenzo 24
Impact Soccer Club Summer Challenge
Isabella Hernandez, Alexis Jones, Maria Camacho, and Kiara Gutierrez scored during this game. Assists from Arianna Barbeau led to the win that qualified the team for the Championship game. From the start it was clear the Championship game was not going to be easy, Elite Impact vs. Impact 03, the team they had lost against the day before. Elite Impact’s defense played exceptionally hard and kept the game scoreless at half time. Unfortunately, the offense could not
find the net. The second half looked positive with a quick Elite Impact goal from Isabella Hernandez. The opponents came back quickly with a goal of their own. Elite Impact played impressively, but ended up with a 1-4 loss. The team will be playing more tournaments before the end of summer and look forward to the start of the Fall NorCal Premier Youth League Gold Division.
SUBMITTED BY JENNI INOUYE Elite Impact U10 (under age 10) girls soccer team placed second in the Impact Soccer Club Summer Challenge Tournament played in Brentwood, CA on July 19 – 20. The team was short players so guest player Isabella Hernandez along with girls from the younger teams, Elisa Ulloa (Elite Strikers), and Kira Clark (Elite Storm) were added to the roster for the two day tournament. The defense led by “Keeper” Jalina Vargas and solid support from Isabela Contreras, Marisol Ibarra-Sanchez, Alexis Jones, and Elisa Ulloa resulted in a 4-0 shutout for the first game against Impact Black. Kiara Gutierrez scored 2 goals, Emma Valadez and Niki Clark each scored 1. The second game was a hard fought physical game. Elite Impact was down 0-2 at half time, but scored quickly at the start of the second half. Unfortunately, they fell short and came away with a 2-3 loss against Impact 03. The first game on the morning of Sunday, July 20 saw the team bounce back with a decisive 8-1 victory against Diablo Valley 03. Kira Clark, Niki Clark, Emma Valadez,
CSUEB women’s soccer welcomes three transfers SUBMITTED BY SCOTT CHISHOLM The 2014 women’s soccer incoming class at Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) includes three junior transfers from within the state of California. The group of goalkeeper Selena Braun, midfielder Mindy Castro, and defender Laura McIntosh has an opportunity to make an immediate impact for the Pioneers and Head Coach Amy Gerace. “Selena is an explosive goalkeeper who will compete for the starting position,” said Gerace. The 14th year head coach is looking to fill the void left by last year’s primary starter Donna Williams who graduated from CSUEB.
Braun (Morgan Hill, CA.) last played competitive collegiate soccer in 2012 at Evergreen Valley College. That season the team finished 15-3-3 and with a No. 5 ranking in the Northern California region. Castro is “a very crafty midfielder,” commented coach Gerace. The two are familiar with each other as Castro (Rancho Cucamonga, CA.) has played in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) for the past two years with Cal Poly Pomona. She will face her old squad and return to Kellogg Field when the Pioneers face the Broncos on Friday, October 10. McIntosh (Atwater, CA.) played two seasons with
Fresno City College and was named a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Junior College Division III First Team All-American in 2012. This past season her squad finished 18-2-3 and reached the second round of the California Community College Athletics Association playoffs. “Laura is an excellent defender with versatility. She has the potential to make an immediate impact,” praised Gerace. CSUEB will officially begin the 2014 season on Friday, September 5, when it hosts Fresno Pacific at Pioneer Stadium.

Milpitas prevails in mobile home rent control case
TAKES FROM SILICON VALLEY EAST
SUBMITTED BY SUSAN BARRETT The Federal Court has entered Judgment in favor of the City and has dismissed all claims by Friendly Village Mobile Home Park. Friendly Village sued the City of Milpitas when the mobile home park tried to raise rents above that allowed by the Milpitas Mobile Home Rent Control Ordinance. Friendly Village claimed that rent control constitutes a taking of property without fair compensation. Ordinances similar to that of Milpitas have been repeatedly upheld by the Courts. This Court affirmed the prior decisions holding that our Rent Control Ordinance is legal and is not a taking since the owners receive a fair return on their investment and that rent control serves a legitimate public purpose. City Attorney Michael Ogaz stated, “We are pleased with the decision. Our mobile home parks represent a significant portion of the affordable housing that exists in the community. Without the ordinance, affordability will be reduced or eliminated.”
Santa Clara County to engage Abode Services SUBMITTED BY GWENDOLYN MITCHELL/ LAUREL ANDERSON On August 26, the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors approved the selection of Abode Services, one of the Bay Area’s largest and most effective providers of housing services, as the lead service provider for an innovative project to address chronic homelessness. Through this new program, some of the most vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness in the county will be provided with housing and supportive services. Unlike traditional governmentfunded programs, however, this effort will employ a “Pay for Success” model under which the County pays for services if and when Abode delivers results – in this case, the stability and wellness of homeless clients. The project is the County’s first Pay for Success initiative. As the lead service provider, Abode Services will receive funding from philanthropic and/or commercial lenders to pay for the up-front cost of service delivery. When Abode delivers successful outcomes set forth in its agreement with the County, the investors will recover their capital with moderate interest, or can reinvest it in the program. If Abode Services does not deliver those outcomes, the investors, rather than taxpayers, will bear the costs. A key goal of the Pay for Success model is to encourage partners in government programs to
focus on outcomes – such as housing stability and wellness – rather than units of service, as with more traditional funding structures. The Pay for Success model is intended to increase successful outcomes, enhance service providers’ ability to measure that success, improve knowledge of what approaches to social problems work, and create roadmaps for other communities to follow. The County and Abode Services will now begin a multimonth deal construction process to finalize the parameters of the Pay for Success project, including the selection of target outcomes, an evaluation plan, and the engagement of private investors. The chronic homelessness in Santa Clara County is defined as a group not only living on the street for long periods, but also having co-occurring serious mental health concerns or physical disabilities. On any given night, 2,509 individuals are chronically homeless in the county. This project will provide affordable housing and an array of supportive services, a combination that has been shown to significantly improve quality of life among vulnerable individuals who are chronically homeless, and to reduce reliance on very costly government-funded services, such as emergency room care. The County is also pursuing a second Pay for Success initiative that will target the most frequent and costly users of the County’s in-patient psychiatric facilities.
A Bucket of Crab, and First-time Restaurant Advice BY KELLY KLINE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Cut the Crab. Seriously! With a fantastic name — and an interior that will transport you straight to the docks of the bay — Fremont’s first restaurant devoted to Cajun-inspired crustaceans opened on August 1 to rave Yelp reviews. We recently chatted with owner Leroy Le and his Ivy Commercial Realtors, Tim Tran and David Tran of the Ivy Group, about opening a firsttime restaurant, and what it takes to be successful. Q: Leroy, Cut the Crab (CTC) is your first restaurant, although it sure doesn’t look like one! What was your background before deciding to open your own place? A: My parents owned a Vietnamese/Thai fusion restaurant in Sacramento when I was growing up. They offered 40+ dishes for both lunch and dinner. Needless to say, they are retired now! I took on this project with my wife who had the inspiration for the “pier” influenced interior. Everything was custom-made from the lanterns to the wood booths. The concept was three years in the making and plays on the current popularity of fresh crab. Q: Tell us more about Cut the Crab. A: Well, the name certainly gets people’s attention! This creativity extends to the menu where you can order the “Holy Crab Bucket” that serves three people for a reasonable price. Our raw bar, which is the largest in the East Bay, serves different kinds of fresh oysters daily. We have a warm, friendly, “hanging out” vibe, and are focused on consistent quality. Q: Tim and David, we’ve heard that Fremont wasn’t necessarily your first choice to site this restaurant. How did you end up with this location? A: Our first focus was North San Jose. However, San Jose has more competition in this cate-
State approves Prop 39 money SUBMITTED BY AMBER BECK More than $66 million of California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Prop 39) money is going to 244 schools in California that submitted energy project spending plans to the California Energy Commission during the first fiscal year of the program. The funds will be used to improve building energy efficiency and expand clean energy generation in schools. More than $380 million was available the first year. Local education agencies (LEAs), including county offices of education, school districts, charter schools, and state special schools, are eligible for funding and request money by submitting an energy expenditure plan application to the Energy Commission. LEAs had an option to receive part or all of their first-year award allocation for energy planning purposes. “Nationally, K-12 schools spend more money on energy than computers and textbooks combined,” said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the agency’s lead on energy efficiency issues.
In the last 12 months, the Energy Commission developed program guidelines and a handbook for LEAs, provided comprehensive training to more than 800 participants and approved 79 energy expenditure plans for 244 schools across the State. In addition, more than $150 million was distributed to 1,644 schools for planning purposes. This money was only available in the first year. The Energy Commission will accept energy expenditure plans for the second of five years in September. Any unallocated funds in the first year will roll forward into the second year. Upwards of $280 million is available now. LEAs can submit one plan each year or a multiyear plan. To help schools through the application process, the Energy Commission developed easy-to-use energy savings calculator tools for simple energy projects and is adding several engineers and energy specialists to review and approve expenditure plans. Schools can access these online resources at energy.ca.gov/efficiency/proposition39/ and get advice by calling the toll-free hotline at (855) 380-8722.
gory. When this location opened up, we realized there is a significant gap for this niche in the East Bay. We considered a number of important factors: parking, rents, readiness of the space, and the landlord’s willingness to take on a first-time business. This site met all the criteria. We also knew that the audience for crab is very serious and will come from a larger radius to get fresh fish. Q: Retail real estate can be tough. How do you help your clients navigate their choices? A: You can’t circumvent the basics — accessibility is key, and so are strong demographics. A check at Cut the Crab can run $100+, so the demographics need to match. Having the right equipment and amenities is also important — not to mention code compliance! We provide a full cost analysis so that business owners can weigh and prioritize the trade-offs of different spaces. At the end of the day, relationships are key — both to making the deal, and to putting together the team that will improve the space. Patience is also key. So is follow-up. Q: Leroy, what advice do you have for other first-time restaurant owners? A: My advice for those with a restaurant dream is to stay away ... really! This is a tough, 12-hour a day job. But, it’s also lots of fun. I really enjoy seeing our customers enjoy the food. Q: Any future plans? A: We definitely see ourselves expanding in the Bay Area — San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco, and perhaps the North Bay. In the immediate term, I’m looking to import “ghost peppers,” the ultimate lip burner! CTC already serves five different levels of spicy ranging from non-spicy to “smokin’ hot.” Ghost peppers are literally off the charts. They attract customers like David who have been known to compete in food challenges like “the Walk of Flame.” One thing is clear, if he keeps serving up tasty buckets of crab, the Walk of Fame will be just around the corner for Leroy Le.
Prescription Label
bill
heads to governor’s desk SUBMITTED BY SERGIO REYES Legislation authored by Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-East Bay) that requires the California Board of Pharmacy (Board) to reveal information that will help improve the health and safety of patients in California passed its final hurdle in the Legislature on August 26 and proceeds to Governor Jerry Brown for consideration. Sponsored by the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, SB 204 requires the Board to conduct surveys of pharmacists and electronic health record vendors to determine whether or not the standardized directions for use on prescription labels are being used. If other non-standard directions are being used, this bill will help determine what the barriers are to standardized directions’ consistent use. SB 204 also compels the Board to publicly report the survey results in 2016 and publish those findings on its website. As a result of SB 472 (Corbett, 2007), the Board previously adopted regulations to develop a patientcentered prescription label and standardized directions for use in 2010. SB 204 is the next logical step in that legislative evolution to keeping patients safe by ensuring standardized labeling protocols.

Not gone, gone, gone
WILLIAM MARSHAK
T
he Righteous Brothers 60s hit song, “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” speaks of love that is “gone, gone, gone” while the contemporary music of Phillip Phillips pledges the opposite in words of his ode to true love, “Gone, Gone, Gone,” saying “I’ll love you long after you’re gone, gone, gone.” In either case, social media has something to add to these fanciful lyrics… nothing is gone, gone, gone.
In our society, YouTube, LinkedIn, tweets, Facebook and many other communication applications rise in popularity, seemingly overnight. Content that was considered private, locked away in individual memories and barred from exposure by conscience, is now open for public inspection months or years even though erased from individual consciousness. In the past, those so inclined, employed vicious rumors and backbiting behavior designed to be harmful and hurtful, relying on innuendo to provide connotations and connections to further a nefarious agenda. Now, assisted by a
“cloud” of information that can accumulate through inattention, silly behavior and bad choices, reputations can be ruined in a heartbeat. Any expectation of privacy has become meaningless with cameras and recording devices in almost every pocket. While recordings can be helpful and positive in many instances, ubiquitous use - and misuse - make audio and visual evidence hard to escape.
and anger, serve to underscore the gravity of private moments made public. Protective services have been learning this lesson for years and, in response, increasingly use personal audio/video equipment to reveal additional information during confrontations and enforcement activity. Citizens are also recording information that may justify or help explain their actions.
On the local scene, invasion of privacy arguments over use of surveillance cameras focused on roadways seems misplaced considering the proliferation of fixed, handheld and other portable devices that can record almost anyone, anyplace and at any time. Text messages, video and other evidence is ubiquitous even though context and circumstance may be one dimensional. Interpretation of images should give pause to those who claim ‘pictures don’t lie.’
In place of privacy, our society is opting for increased surveillance. With expansion of observation devices, the choice for all of us is to be aware and careful of what is released, even in private moments; it may migrate to the public sector. Some information may be necessary to transact business and communicate effectively, but superfluous, irrelevant and inappropriate material is best kept private – off the internet. Do you really want that crazy photo or off-color statement to remain in the public domain forever?
Anyone with limited experience by age or exposure to the realities of a world filled with freely available personal information may have minimal excuse for embarrassing or deleterious revelations, but once informed and aware of the pervasive nature of electronic eavesdropping, retention and possible negative use, the lesson is obvious… there is little individual privacy and that whatever can be done to secure the small amount of personal information left should be jealously guarded.
The Righteous Brothers may think that lovin’ feeling may be gone, gone, gone, but Phillip Phillips knows its effects will remain long after you are gone, gone, gone.
Recent events including revelations of eavesdropping by countries on one another and their citizens, propaganda videos, trending tweets and even a local high school teacher caught in an unguarded moment revealing frustration

Driver relished life on the road with giant spud BY ANNA WEBB IDAHO STATESMAN BOISE, Idaho (AP), People still ask whether it’s “real.’’ “I tell them it’s real cool,’’ said Paul Humbracht. Humbracht had the honor of driving on the Famous Idaho Potato Tour during both its 2012 and 2013 cross-country treks. The giant spud, made up of a steel rib cage, lots of plywood and a substance known as “Hollywood concrete,’’ is so lifelike that it continues to suspend disbelief for all who see it. “You have these pumpkins that grow to be 1,800 pounds. People figure, why can’t they do that with potatoes?’’ said Humbracht. He has a new job now, driving
a truck for an alcohol distributor back home in Fargo, N.D. But he’s happy for his two years spreading goodwill from Idaho. There were minor scuffs and challenges. The truck is 2 feet wider than a standard load. Streets in cities such as New York and Philadelphia are narrow. “And people gawk,’’ said Humbracht. But even when there was trouble – the truck’s paint got chipped going through an East Coast toll booth – people were always eager to help. Often for free. “Because they loved the truck so much,’’ said Humbracht. Stops on the 2013 tour, which ended in November, included NASCAR races, the Kentucky Derby, and the McCormick Place
convention center in Chicago. “It was crazy getting the truck in there,’’ said Humbracht. The time commitment was a little crazy, too. Each tour meant Humbracht and his fellow Tater Team members were on the road with the big spud for seven and a half months. Kristie Wolfe was part of the 2013 Tater Team. She recalls scores of people all along the 30,000-plus mile route, hanging out of their car windows and snapping photos with their cellphones and iPads. Once, in Pennsylvania, the big potato happened to pull up beside a car whose driver was a reporter. The reporter asked for an interview. The Tater Team said yes and put on the truck’s blinkers. The reporter inter-
viewed the crew right in the middle of the road. “We created quite the distraction,’’ said Wolfe. The Idaho Potato Commission, working with Foerstel Design, created the Great Big Idaho Potato Truck to celebrate the commission’s 75th anniversary in 2012. Schofield Design, a local firm, built the rig. The firm Evans Hardy + Young handled the public relations. The truck has a mission beyond celebrating – raising money and awareness for the nonprofit Meals-on-Wheels program. There’s already talk of sending it out again in 2014.

4856 Windermere Dr. Newark
Police Arrest Suspect in Shooting SUBMITTED BY SAN LEANDRO PD Detectives have been investigating a shooting that occurred in San Leandro on Friday, August 18th, in which one man sustained a gunshot wound to his upper body. So far, four handguns, six pounds of marijuana and $16,000 in counterfeit US currency have been recovered. The following is a summary of the investigation: Friday, September 28, 2014 at 9:00 p.m., officers responded to the area of MacArthur Blvd. and Durant Ave. to investigate reports of gunshots being fired. Officers checked that area, and were unable to find any evidence. Officers began to drive south on MacArthur Blvd., searching for suspects and victims. Minutes later, they heard gunshots on Grand Ave. in the area of the I-580 off-ramp for Estudillo Ave. Officers came upon a sedan that had collided with the cement wall in front of the gas station. A 27 year old male was found near the vehicle, suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound. The vehicle had also been struck by bullets. The man claimed that he and the driver had been chased by suspects in another vehicle, who were shooting at them for an unknown reason. Officers searched the interior of the sedan and found two semi-automatic handguns and a large sum of counterfeit US currency inside. The man, whose name is not being released at this time, was treated at a local hospital for his gunshot wound and then arrested by police for possession of the firearms in the vehicle and possession of the counterfeit money. The driver has not yet been identified. A resident saw the sedan being chased by another vehicle and knew that the activity was suspicious. He recorded the license plate number of the vehicle chasing the sedan and provided a description of that vehicle and its license plate to police. Detectives conducted surveillance at the registered owner’s East Bay home, but later learned that he had recently moved to an unknown location. On Thursday afternoon, undercover detectives assigned to the SLPD’s Crime Suppression Unit spotted
the suspect vehicle driving on I-580, near the Estudillo Ave. exit. They followed the vehicle to an apartment complex located in the 3000 block of Pleitner Ave. in Oakland, where they saw a male matching the description of the shooting suspect get out of the car and enter a nearby apartment. A short time later, the man exited the apartment and returned to the vehicle, where he was detained by SLPD officers. He has been identified as a 29 year old Oakland resident. Police are not releasing his name at this time, as the investigation is continuing. Detectives obtained a search warrant for the man’s apartment and recovered two handguns, six pounds of marijuana and a large sum of counterfeit US currency. He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, possession of marijuana for sale, and possession of the counterfeit money. Detectives are continuing their investigation and believe that this was an isolated incident in which the suspect and victims knew each other. They have not yet established a motive for the shooting, but believe it may be related to drug trafficking and counterfeit money. “Without ‘the police work’ done by the resident who wrote down the license plate of the suspect vehicle responsible for shooting the victim, there’s a likelihood that this case would have gone unsolved. That pertinent information closed the loop for our investigators and led to the recovery of two firearms, counterfeit money and drugs – all of which would have had a negative impact on our community,” said Lt. Robert McManus. Police are asking that anyone who may have witnessed the two cars chasing each other or saw the shooting to please contact them. Police are also searching for surveillance video that may have captured the chase or shooting. Please contact the San Leandro Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division with any information regarding this case or any other case at (510) 577-3230. Information may also be submitted anonymously by: • Phone: Anonymous Crime Tips at (510) 577-3278 • Text Message: Text “TipSLPolice” to 888777
SOCIAL SECURITY QUESTIONS Question: We adopted a baby girl overseas and brought her home with us to the United States. We need to get a Social Security number for her. What do we do? Answer: In general, to apply for a Social Security number for your child you must: • Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5), which you can find online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber; • Show us documents proving your child’s: • United States citizenship or immigration status; • Adoption; • Age; and • Identity. • Show us a document proving your identity; and • Show us evidence that establishes your relationship to the child if your name is not noted as the parent on the child’s evidence of age. The adoption decree or the amended U.S. birth certificate will suffice. In most cases, you can mail or take your application and original documents to your local Social Security office. Remember, all documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents. You may not yet have proof of your child’s citizenship, but we can assign a Social Security number based on documentation issued by the Department of Homeland Security upon the child’s arrival in the United States. When you do receive documentation of your child’s citizenship, you can bring it to us, and we will update your child’s record. We will mail your child’s number and card as soon as we have verified your documents with the issuing offices.

Santa Clara County Supervisors approve reduction of government water use SUBMITTED BY JANICE ROMBECK In response to the state’s emergency drought conditions, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on August 26, to set a County Government goal of cutting water use by 25 percent. The Supervisors approved a proposal by Supervisor Dave Cortese that calls for immediate reduction by each County Department with a minimum target of 25 percent. “The state’s restrictions on water use have mostly targeted homes and businesses,” Cortese said. “County government employees should lead by example and explore strategies to use less water at work.” For more information, call the Office of Supervisor Cortese at (408) 299-5030.
Assisted Living bill clears final hurdle SUBMITTED BY SERGIO REYES The California State Senate, on August 27, approved important legislation by Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-East Bay) that strengthens the notification and inspection procedures and timelines at assisted living facilities in California. SB 895 now proceeds to the Governor’s Desk for consideration. SB 895 will require that RCFEs (Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly) swiftly fix any issues found during facility inspections within 10 days of notification unless specified in a correction plan. This notable bill will also require the California Department of Social Services (DSS) to post online how interested individuals may obtain facility inspection reports, as well as establish that DSS
Bill addresses outdated History Education Standards SUBMITTED BY SERGIO REYES An important bill that updates the outdated historysocial science content standards in K-12 education passed from the California State Senate earlier on August 27 and now advances to the Governor for consideration. “If signed by the Governor, SB 1057 will kick off the process to finally update the educational content standards upon which K-12 California students are taught history and social sciences,” Senator Corbett said. “My constituents came to me with stories about how their children came home crying because other students bullied them about their culture. They brought me their children’s textbook and told me that their culture was being portrayed inaccurately and negatively. Instances like this should simply not happen.” By working with the involved parents and members of the Hindu American Foundation, Senator Corbett set out to update the 16 year old content standards that lay the broad basis for what is taught each year, as they eventually determine what information is included in student textbooks in California. The history-social science content standards were last updated in 1998. SB 1057 requires the California State Board of Education to review and adopt new history-social science content standards for grades K-12 by July 30, 2018. The bill also requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to convene a group of history-social science experts that will provide input to recommend revised content standards to the State Board.
should make inspection reports available online by January 1, 2020. SB 895 will also require DSS to report the estimated costs of conducting annual RCFE inspections and ask the department to create a poster that includes relevant timely information on what agency an individual wishing to file an RCFE-related complaint or emergency notification should contact. Finally, in order to ensure prompt collaboration with the community-supported office tasked with helping to protect California’s elderly in long term care facilities, DSS would also be required to provide the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman with a precautionary notification when the department begins to prepare to issue a temporary suspension or revocation of a license for a RCFE.
Supervisors vote to strengthen rules against illegal fireworks SUBMITTED BY JANICE ROMBECK The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved moving forward on an ordinance that would hold property owners responsible for the use of illegal fireworks at their homes and businesses. The 5-0 vote came at the August 26, meeting at the request of Supervisor Dave Cortese in response to complaints from residents about the discharging of illegal fireworks that continue to disturb neighborhoods and pose fire and safety dangers even after July 4 celebrations. “The use of illegal fireworks has gotten to be more than a nuisance in our neighborhoods,” said Supervisor Cortese. “They pose a real danger to our residents.” The proposed ordinance would hold property owners responsible for the use of illegal fireworks regardless of who discharged them except in the case of trespassers. The ordinance would apply to all residents and businesses in unincorporated Santa Clara County. The ordinance will be patterned after the County’s Social Host Responsibility Ordinance that holds property owners responsible for under-age drinking parties. For more information, contact the Office of Supervisor Dave Cortese at (408) 299-5030.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
he arrival of September typically puts people in mind of Labor Day vacations and the return to school. But the month also marks “International Vulture Awareness Day;” events on the first Saturday of each September raise awareness and increase conservation of vultures throughout the world. There has been a decline in vulture populations with threats of extinction. While vultures are scavengers, associated with death and deemed creepy and unattractive, they serve an important and necessary function. Vultures dispose of decaying bodies of dead animals, which limit the spread of disease. These birds have highly acidic stomachs that kill most of the bacteria they ingest, making them a reliable and efficient method of waste removal. The Birds of Prey Programme in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England instituted Vulture Awareness Days but decided to cast a wider net, working to expand events promoting vulture conservation and awareness across the
globe. Organizations throughout the world now participate in “International Vulture Awareness Day” including India, Pakistan, Spain, Portugal, Nepal, Serbia, France, South Africa, Botswana, Croatia, as well as the U.S. and United Kingdom. Hayward’s Sulphur Creek Nature Center has participated for several years. Their “International Vulture Awareness Day” event will be held on September 6 with crafts, face painting, and an opportunity to learn more about these unique birds. Sulphur Creek Naturalists Miranda Britton and Samantha Conner will talk about vultures, including their importance and why they’re good to have around. The presentation will also feature information about locally found condors, a type of vulture that is endangered, and efforts to save them. The event is designed to teach the community about vultures, a creature that most people don’t think too much about says Britton. “They’re a very important part of our ecosystem, being the cleanup crew,” she says.

ravel back in time and admire vintage cars on display at the first annual “Vintage Alley Car Show” on Saturday, September 6 in Downtown Hayward. About 270 rat rods, hot rods, motorcycles and lowriders will be parked along B Street from Foothill Boulevard to City Hall plaza, giving downtown a retro look and feel. Adding to the vintage vibe, attendees are encouraged to dress in their favorite ‘40s or ‘50s outfit. This free event will also feature live music, vendors, food booths, pin-up models, face painting, a balloon artist, and raffle prizes from sponsors, including a full paint job to one of the car entries. With the help of Joe Estrada, Utility Leader for the City of Hayward and Advertising Director for Classic & Kustom Bombs Magazine, Vintage Alley owners Alfredo Rodriguez and his wife Alicia made this car show possible as “a good way to have something great for our community,” said Rodriguez. Beneficiaries from the event include Hayward Animal Shelter, Friends of

There are two turkey vultures in residence at Sulphur Creek who will be out and about at the event, giving attendees a close up look at the bird of honor. Prince Charming was found in Oakland in 1989 with the tip of his wing missing, keeping him permanently grounded. His female counterpart, Torac, has been at Sulphur Creek for 40 years. She was possibly raised by people and is imprinted, which means she doesn’t know she’s a vulture. Torac originally arrived with rickets, causing an inability to fly.
“International Vulture Awareness Day” is a great time to increase your knowledge of the animal kingdom and learn how our diverse environment operates.
The event is sponsored by King Kovers, Downtown Muffler Service, Golden Oaks Printing, Hayward Maaco, FRA Financial Group, Chabot College, Lester’s Tire & Automotive, Tri-City Engravers, Ace Hardware, Eden Jewelry & Loan, Classic & Kustom Bombs Magazine, the City of Hayward, and more.

BART Watch app launches SUBMITTED BY BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT BART is launching a simpleto-use app available for iOS and Android devices that will allow riders to easily report crimes, suspicious items or activities on the BART system. Riders have been asking for a safe, silent and discreet way to communicate with BART when they are on a train or in a station and this new application will make that happen. “The BART Watch app will be free for BART riders to download from our website or they can go directly to the Apple App Store or Google Play,” said BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey. “This new technology will allow us to partner with our riders so they can ‘See Something, Say Something,’ and help us keep the
Newark adds Neighborhood Watch group SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD
system safer and more secure.” BART is the first system with this technology to offer versions in Spanish and Chinese. Riders can use BART Watch to send a text description of what they are seeing and/or attach a picture. Or, there is a “one tap” button that will connect them with BART Police by phone. Text reports may be sent anonymously. If they are in an area without cellular service, the report will be stored and delivered as soon as there is service again. Simple pull-down menus let riders choose the report type they would like to send such as: Crime in Progress, Illegally Parked Vehicle, Disruptive Behavior, Robbery/Theft, Unattended Bag or Package, Vandalism and more. There is a “Test” option that lets users practice with the app before
an emergency. Reports go directly to BART Police dispatch and are prioritized for response. The app also allows BART Police to send alerts to riders in emergencies such as a lost child. Riders are still encouraged to program the BART Police phone number, (510) 464-7000, into their phones to have it handy. In March, BART Board of Directors approved a multi-year contract with ELERTS Corporation, which has created similar apps for other US transit agencies including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA).

Hayward Police Log SUBMITTED BY SGT. ERIC MELENDEZ, HAYWARD PD Friday, August 22 At 10:26 p.m., a strong armed robbery occurred. Two hours prior to reporting the incident, a 14-year-old male victim was walking in the area of D St. and 2nd St., when four AfricanAmerican male adults surrounded him. The victim was punched once and he fell to the ground. The suspects searched the victim’s pockets and took his cell phone, iPod, debit card, and $6.

San Leandro Police Log SUBMITTED BY LT. RANDALL BRANDT, SAN LEANDRO PD August 22, Friday At 11:20 p.m., a patrol officer noticed a motorcycle parked on the sidewalk in the 1600 block of Morgan Ave. The officer recognized the license plate as recently being reported stolen to the San Leandro Police Department (SLPD). The officer conducted surveillance of the stolen motorcycle and shortly thereafter, Joshua Hinds of San Leandro exited a garage wearing a motorcycle helmet, jacket and gloves. He approached the stolen motorcycle and was taken into custody without incident. The stolen motorcycle was returned to its rightful owner. August 24, Sunday At 3:30 p.m., Davyon Frey of San Leandro was arrested for burglary at Macy’s located at Bayfair Center. Plain-clothed security agents at the store observed Frey selecting $340 worth of clothing items and concealed them in his backpack before leaving the store without paying for any of the items. Frey was stopped outside of the store. When the security agents searched the backpack to retrieve the stolen merchandise, they discovered a loaded, .38 caliber revolver inside. Records show that the handgun was not registered to Frey. He was arrested for possession of the loaded, concealed firearm, as well as burglary, as he had no money or other means to pay for the merchandise that he concealed in the backpack before leaving the store. August 25, Monday At 12:25 a.m., a patrol officer stopped a luxury vehicle near the intersection of Bancroft Ave. and Durant Ave. for a traffic violation. As the officer got out of his patrol car and walked toward the vehicle that was stopped, the driver, later identified as a 27year-old male from Oakland, sped off, leading the officer on a vehicle pursuit through several streets in Oakland. The driver slowed down in the 2600 block of 98th Ave. and fled from the car. The car, which had not stopped, collided with a cement wall in the driveway of a residence. There were no other occupants in the vehicle. California Highway Patrol (CHP) of-

SUBMITTED BY GAIL BLALOCK, PRESIDENT OLIVE HYDE ART GUILD In 2011, the Olive Hyde Art Guild Board of Directors wanted to reach out to an underserved segment of the community with respect to art instruction classes. With the help of an ARTSFUND Grant from the Alameda
County Arts Commission, the Guild worked with Fremont Recreation staff and devised a plan to offer a 13week painting class to developmentally disabled adult clients of Serra Center. Serra Center is a non-profit agency providing housing, services, and compassionate care to adult individuals with developmental disabilities living in Fremont and other locations around the Bay Area. Since the first year with nine students, the program has grown to 22 students completing the workshop this year. A second grant from the Alameda County ARTSFUND Program helped fund another year of classes, and funds provided by the Niles Rotary Foundation made it possible to frame the students’ work. The Serra Center Art Workshop has been taught by City of Fremont Art Instructor Haroon Ansary, who commented that his involvement with the students has been an eye opening experience. Ansary said, “I have never been in the presence of such truth, humility, kindness and
love… the students are extremely self-motivated, enthusiastic and incredibly brave.” The participants love learning from Ansary, as evidenced by increasing enrollment in each of the four years. This year the students’ art work will be included in the “Hidden Treasures/Local Talent” exhibit in the Olive Hyde Art Gallery on display September 12 through October 11. A public reception in honor of all the exhibit’s
Turn It Up Camp enhances student skills SUBMITTED BY JENNI KWON PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE SZETO From July 7-11, over 100 kids in Fremont participated in TurnIt-Up, a free program aimed at enhancing students’ skills. Throughout the week, kids from grades one through six, attended workshops on reading, writing, math, science, music, drama, and physical education. They were also provided with a free breakfast, snack, lunch, and transportation to and from Oliveira Elementary School on a daily basis, where the camp took place. Over 50 volunteers, many of whom are teachers from the Fremont Unified School District, invested their time, talents and belief in these students, showing profound results in a short period of time. Karen Downing, a veteran teacher, commented, “Monday’s reluctant readers became Wednesday’s bold readers.” Consuelo Suarez, a parent of a third grade participant stated, “My son had an awesome experience and he was able to improve his self-esteem this week because he was always being told how good he was doing. Your staff fo-
cused on his strengths instead of his weaknesses; that made a big difference in his life. Thank you so much for that.” Parents were also provided with a parent workshop and dinner in the middle of the week, all free of charge. The program culminated on July 11 with a performance by the students showcasing their music and drama skills along with a special lunch for the students and parents to celebrate their accomplishments together. There are plans to expand the program to other elementary school campuses in Fremont for Summer 2015. For more information, contact Resonate Church at (510) 226-2800.
artists will be held at the Gallery from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. on Friday, September 12. The success of this program has truly been a collaborative effort of the Olive Hyde Art Guild, the City of Fremont, Serra Center, the Alameda County Arts Commission, and the Niles Rotary Foundation. Working together, these groups have inspired and unleashed a new love for the visual arts in our community.
Principal kisses pig to reward students AP WIRE SERVICE BY VALERIE WELLS (DECATUR) HERALD & REVIEW
DECATUR, Ill. (AP),– Ted the baby pig didn’t care for being held by a stranger. “I don’t know, he just freaked out,’’ said Lauryn Layette, an eighth-grader at Thomas Jefferson Middle School who tried, unsuccessfully, to pig-sit during the school’s assembly Tuesday. Classmate Quincey Watts pretended to recoil from the smell of pig that he said was still on her clothing. Prinicpal Nate Sheppard was scheduled to give Ted a smooch to reward the students who made it to class on time every day during Illinois Standards Achievement Tests the past two weeks. Someone on staff suggested a “kiss the pig’’ event, and Sheppard agreed. “It’s an incentive to the school,’’ he said. ``In our scheduling, we’re very tight on time, and we really need students to move quickly from class to class, and we were trying to think of ideas to motivate the kids to get to class on time.’’ Sheppard said he’s willing to do whatever it takes, and he’s been taking a lot of good-natured teasing. “The kids have been razzing me,’’ he said with a chuckle.
“Better pucker up! Better get ready! So it’s been a good time.’’ Math teacher Melissa Poland lives on a farm, and her children raise pigs, so she brought Ted, who was born in January. Ted snoozed through most of the event, but when Lauryn picked him up, he objected strenuously, complete with high-pitched squealing, and Poland had to hold him for Sheppard. “I won’t lie,’’ Sheppard said solemnly to the students at the assembly. “About 10 minutes ago, I started to get really nervous.’’ Amid the hoots and hollers of unsympathetic middle school students, Sheppard bravely approached the little piggy and went in for a kiss. Afterward, a student high-fived him but asked why he didn’t kiss Ted on the mouth. At the last minute, Sheppard bypassed it and bestowed his buss on Ted’s muzzle. “I lost my nerve,’’ Sheppard said. “I put lip balm on so my lips would be softer than the pig’s, and I was going to kiss him on the snout, but I couldn’t do it.’’ Another student asked him “How was it?’’ Sheppard’s answer, “Hairy.’’ Source: (Decatur) Herald & Review, http://bit.ly/1jN6NFz Information from: Herald & Review, http://www.heraldreview.com

Countering this trend, residents of the Greater Tri-City area are invited to Hayward’s Garin Regional Park for its 26th annual “Apple Festival” on September 6. There will be old-fashioned group games, crafts for children, tours of the antique apple orchard, face painting, and more. East Bay Regional Park District naturalist Kristina Parkinson has been a key organizer of the “Apple Festival” for many years. “I love this event,” Parkinson said. “[It is] a great way to celebrate the agricultural past of our San Francisco Bay Area and to remind people that we still rely on farms for our food.” The Garin apple orchard was established in 1985 when Emil Linquist donated his diverse collection of potted apple trees to the East Bay Regional Park District. At the time, the Park District had only started to develop plans for an antique apple orchard, but with Linquist’s initiative, apple trees were planted in front of the Visitor Center barn. The orchard now has over 200 trees that produce 180 types of apple, many not sold in stores. It is known as an antique apple orchard because it preserves apple varieties too fragile to be sold in stores. “Many of the apples either won’t keep for long periods of time or don’t stand up to transport,” Parkinson said. “This has resulted in them not being sold commercially, so we were losing these varieties.” Unfortunately, due to California’s severe drought, Garin’s apple orchard is expecting a significantly lower crop of apples this year compared to other years. Normally, two weeks after the “Apple Festival,” Garin holds a public picking day, which may not happen due to the lack of apples. “The apples are used for the ‘Apple Festival’; the public gets to pick most of them and any leftover or late-blooming apples get to find homes with the volunteers who work to keep the orchard trimmed and maintained,” Parkinson said. Apples that ripen early in the season (June and July) generally get mushy quickly and do not store for very long. Apples that bloom during mid-August
through September stay fresh for at least two weeks. Late-bloomers that ripen from October to November keep for several months in cool storage. The most popular apple varieties Garin provides include Hudson’s Golden Gem, Anna, and Pink Pearl. However, Granny Smith and Pippin are firm, crisp apples that make the best pies; Red Delicious and Gala, mid-season apples, make great cider and apple sauce. There will be two orchard tours during the festival, each an hour long, for those wanting to learn more about the Garin apple orchard. “The folks on a tour may get to sample an apple or two, but mostly learn about what it takes to maintain an orchard and the history of our orchard,” Parkinson said. “The orchard is only open to the public during the tours at the ‘Apple Festival’ and on the picking day, so come spend the afternoon with us!”
The afternoon will include games like kick the can, egg toss, egg on a spoon races, and tug o’ war. People can dance to music playing in the barn or help press fresh apple cider and crank oldfashioned ice cream makers, then sample the ice cream.
“Each year we seem to attract more and more folks, as well as many people who return year after year,” Parkinson said. “A few years ago, the local 4-H club began bringing small animals to the festival and that has been wildly popular.”
Don’t miss out on a fun, oldfashioned day will friends and family. All ages are welcome, so take advantage of one of the few times the orchard is open to the public! For more information, please visit http://www.ebparks.org/features/GarinAppleFestival2014 or call (510) 544-3220.

Woman among world’s oldest turning 115 years young AP WIRE SERVICE INKSTER, Mich. (AP), A Detroit-area woman, a member of a select group of the living to have been born in the 19th century, is celebrating a birthday on Friday. Her 115th. Jeralean Talley, who was born May 23, 1899, went fishing last year and still gets around on her own with the help of a walker. The Inkster resident plans to celebrate with family and friends at a local church on Sunday. On her actual birthday – Friday – Talley is going to the doctor for a checkup, although she says she doesn’t feel sick. But Talley’s knees occasionally hurt, her right hand shakes, she has a hard time hearing and her memory comes and goes. Her answer as to why she has
lived so long hasn’t changed over the years. “It’s all in the good Lord’s hands,’’ Talley told the Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/1r0fdRL). “There’s nothing I can do about it.’’ Talley is the oldest-living American and the second-oldest person in the world, according to a list maintained by the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks the world’s longest-living people. The Gerontology Research Group verified Talley’s age using census data. Japan resident Misao Okawa, 116, tops the list. Talley, whose husband died in 1988, is cared for by a 76-year-old daughter who lives with her. Five generations of the family are living in the area, including a great-great-grandson.
