SUBMITTED BY BOB TAVARES PHOTOS BY LYNN KAO The pristine olive grove behind the historic Old Mission San Jose Museum plays host once again to Fremont’s annual “Olive Festival” on October 1 and 2. The event will feature a variety of foods, wine and beer, raffle, children’s booth, face painting, bubbles and more!
“The 15th Annual Olive Festival is the premier event for the Mission San Jose district. We have many vendors selling high-quality artisanal products including locally produced olive oils and balsamic vinegars, five bands, music and dancing by an Indian cultural group, and fun activities for children. The Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce is
delighted to host this two-day party for Fremont,” says Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce President Michael Stambaugh.
ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY CYNDY PATRICK The Ohlone Humane Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (OHSWRC) is celebrating its 19th year of rescuing orphaned and injured wildlife in the Tri-Cities area. Thanks to our loyal members, community support and hard working volunteers, we are able to keep our doors open for another year! On Saturday, October 1, we invite the community to join us at our annual “Open House” to learn more about local wildlife, take a tour, and meet the educational animals from Sulphur Creek Nature Center. Children can take part in creating a nature craft.

Helping wildlife in trouble is an act of the heart by each caring person that walks in the door. One such caring individual was David Bradley, whose wife and daughter found a Caspian Tern about 10 p.m. one evening on Kelly Avenue. The following morning he arrived at the center with a large box, covered in window screening and secured with an electric cord. “I put him in the stairwell and turned on a white noise machine to play ‘Ocean Surf ’ for him all night,” he admitted with a smile. Bradley was surely the hero in the eyes of his family that night. After a careful examination that determined the patient had an injured foot, the sea bird was transported to the International Bird Rehabilitation Center in Cordelia for specialized care. continued on page 5

strategies to reduce obesity and to promote health. Open to anyone who would like to attend, Dr. Nguyen’s presentation will be held from 1 – 3 p.m. in the conference room at the Washington Township Medical Foundation’s Nakamura Clinic at 33077 Alvarado Niles Road in Union City.
You hear friends say “Oh, I must lose 10 pounds or 20 pounds” but perhaps they find it too difficult to accomplish. Media sources are full of discussions, suggestions and advertisements on how to lose weight: diets, exercise, medical solutions.
According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 36 percent of adults in the United States are obese. And, more than 65 percent of U.S. adults can be categorized as “overweight,” according to Dr. Nguyen.
What approach is best and how can you determine what would work for you? What is the line between being “overweight” and being “obese,” and what are the medical consequences of each? Dr. Tam Nguyen, a Washington Hospital family physician who focuses on diabetes and obesity, will address many of these questions at a free educational forum titled “Obesity: Understand the Causes, Consequences and Prevention” on Thursday, Oct. 20.
Obesity cuts across all ages and ethnicities, Dr. Nguyen says, but affects some groups more than others. CDC studies show that non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (48 percent) followed by Hispanics (42.5 percent), non-Hispanic whites (34.5 percent) and non-Hispanic Asians (11.7 percent).
Dr. Nguyen will define obesity, describe its health consequences, and explain
While it is generally known that being significantly overweight or obese is a primary
Washington Hospital’s family physician, Tam Nguyen, MD, will be talking about weight and obesity at a free community seminar on Thursday, Oct. 20. The talk will take place at the Washington Township Medical Foundation’s Nakamura Clinic, where Dr. Nguyen practices, from 1 to 3 p.m. The clinic is located at 33077 Alvarado Niles Road, Union City. To register, call (800) 963-7070.
link with type 2 diabetes, other diseases associated with obesity include: coronary heart disease, stroke, arthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, a wide variety of cancers, urinary incontinence, gallbladder disease, depression, infertility, and premature death and disability, among many other diseases and illnesses.
management includes exercise, diet and, in some cases, medicine. The combination of those three strategies can be very successful, he adds.
Weight reduction can be successful with lifestyle modification, Dr. Nguyen says, which includes mindful eating, exercise and diets.
Dr. Nguyen will offer strategies for basic lifestyle changes including how to approach calorie reduction and how to incorporate cultural and ethnic food preferences into a long-term effective weight-reduction regimen.
He advocates medical management of obesity rather than surgery. Medical
“An optimal weight management program relies on diet first, then exercise, lifestyle modification and, if necessary, medications,” Dr. Nguyen says.
Various diet programs will be discussed along with a wide range of weight-loss medications. The Nakamura Clinic is accessible by public transportation and has handicapped access. Parking is available in the clinic’s parking lot. As seating is limited, advance registration for the free program is recommended.

Dr. Vandana Sharma, medical director of Washington Hospital’s Oncology Program and Genetic Counseling Program, will talk about some of the latest advances in breast cancer treatment. Women today are living for years with advanced cancer through better treatment options. She will also discuss genetic testing and counseling for women at high risk for breast cancer.
Think Pink will start with a health fair from 5 to 6 p.m. There will be a number of booths with information and resources that can help women live healthier lives whether they are cancer survivors or are focused on preventing cancer. Several local health organizations will be on hand to answer questions and offer services, including the American Cancer Society and the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, which supports women who are healing from breast cancer by providing post-surgical products and services, regardless of financial status.
Featured Speakers
Lorie Roffelsen, a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital, will provide tips for healthy eating. The nutrients in food can have a big impact on our health. She will talk about foods that contain some of the key nutrients women need to stay healthy.
Dr. Dugoni will provide an update on some of the services provided at the Washington Women’s Center. The center offers advanced diagnostic services and an expert clinical staff, along with wellness
In addition to getting out the message about breast cancer prevention and treatment, Think Pink is designed to be a celebration where women can come together and enjoy a fun evening with activities like free massages and raffle prizes.

40,450 women will die from the disease. There are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., including women who are being treated for the disease as well as those who have completed treatment, according to the American Cancer Society.
“Think Pink is for breast cancer survivors, women who are still living with breast cancer, and those who want to learn about preventing breast cancer and ways to stay healthy,” said Dr. William Dugoni, medical director of the Washington Women’s Center at Washington Hospital and member of the Washington Township Medical Foundation. “There will be informative sessions as well as fun activities and giveaways, and the tent provides a special setting for this warm and welcoming event designed for women.” Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the U.S, according to the American Cancer Society. About one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, with only skin cancer surpassing that. Men can also get breast cancer, but it is far more common in women. In 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates that 246,660 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and

Student Success Scorecard–A Measure of Success
Remember bringing home your report card and getting a reward for good grades? Ohlone College just got its report card–the 2016 Student Success Scorecard–from the state Chancellor’s Office, and we don’t want to brag, but we got terrific grades! According to Dr. Gari Browning, President of Ohlone College, “This year’s scorecard is the
best ever and the most important to date.” Under Dr. Browning’s leadership the college has initiated principals of strategic planning that have produced continual, step-by-step improvement in student performance. The outcome speaks volumes for the college’s efforts to help students be their very best.
“I am most proud of Ohlone for achieving #1 status among peer colleges,” said Dr. Browning, “in completion, persistence, basic skills improvement, and continuous improvement for underprepared students.” The California Community Colleges (CCC) Success Scorecard is a performance measurement system conducted by the Chancellor’s Office at the state level. This
annual scorecard compares data from the 113 community colleges in the state for seven categories, including student progress, student retention, and rates of completion such as transfer or graduation compared to peer colleges within the CCC system. Ohlone took first place among its peer colleges in multiple categories and made progress in six of the seven areas on the scorecard, with
Ohlone’s 50th celebration 1967 – 2017 This year, leading up to Ohlone’s 50 year celebration, and all through 2017, Ohlone will run snapshot stories of its 50 year history. There’s always more to every story, but these will give readers a brief of overview of historic events in Ohlone College’s first 50 years.
How Ohlone College Got Its Name In 1965, an election was held in the Fremont/Newark area to form a local community college and a board of trustees. The first board meeting was held in January 1966 and during that year the board hired a new president, Dr. Stephen Epler, who then hired the faculty. The year 1966 was a planning year, working with faculty to determine curriculum. Another important decision was what to name the college. At its inception, the “working title” was Fremont-Newark Community College District. But the college wanted a name that would provide an identity, something that represented the area and was based on the values of people that lived here. Dr. Epler discussed potential names with the faculty. The decision was made
to ask Mr. Phil (Felipe) Galvan, a highly respected Ohlone Elder who lived in Fremont, for a Chochenyo word, the Ohlone dialect. Without hesitation, Mr. Galvan said, “Why don’t you call it Ohlone?” Although not without controversy, Ohlone College was given final permission by an esteemed member of the Ohlone people to use their name. The college has maintained a continual affiliation with the Galvan family. Phil Galvan and his son Andy (Andrew) Galvan have attended many college events, including graduations. The last time Phil Galvan came to a college event was in 2005 at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new campus in Newark, accompanied by his son Andy. He spoke again about the naming of the college at

“New this year will be a blessing of the olives (Saturday, shortly after noon). The Dominican Sisters will have a short presentation recognizing the history of the olive trees (brought here by Spanish missionaries over 200 years ago), their importance to the area, and the hopes that the olives continue to thrive.” Start your holiday shopping with offerings from 31 vendors selling olive/olive oil products, jewelry, scarves, soaps, lotions, olive wood carvings, gourmet foods and more. The Chamber of Commerce will be selling wine by the glass, and beer glasses and beer will be offered for sale by Das Brew. Grab a bite from the food vendors or variety of food trucks onsite, and enter a raffle, which has items from a variety of businesses including McIvor’s Hardware, local salons, and restaurants.

Patty and Abigail first started singing together in a hot tub at a local athletic club nearly a decade ago. Since then, the acoustic guitar-vocal duo has been favorably compared to performers like Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Indigo Girls, but has developed an original signature style based on intricate vocal harmonies and sparkling guitar parts.

There was also a shy little Burrowing Owl brought in by an officer from the California Department of Fish and Game. He was unable to fly and hissed like a snake to make his 8-inch stature seem more intimidating. After several days of care he was strong and healthy and able to be released at a protected area in Warm Springs. Who knew that such a tiny owl has such an impressive wingspan? Many American Kestrels (Falcon Family) came through the center this season and 20 children attending a Junior Rangers Program at the Lake Elizabeth Nature Center looked on with wonder as volunteers released a pair that seemed to hesitate for one quick look back before flying off to freedom. David Anderson, Registered Veterinary Technician, has managed OHSWRC for the past 14 years. With more than 25 years of working with domestic and wild animals, he has acquired some pretty amazing skills and a lot of knowledge. Somehow along with keeping the center running smoothly, he always manages to make time to teach volunteers as well. Every day there is something new to learn and something wonderful to experience. Judy Bella has been volunteering at the center for many years and says she loves to educate the public about how much urban wildlife we actually have living around us, including foxes and coyotes. “I love getting the kids in here that are doing their
service hours for high school that have never owned a pet,” she says. “For them to get up close to a little bird or a baby possum, they are just fascinated by it. They want to learn all about it.” The center relies on about 50 dedicated volunteers each season says Volunteer Coordinator Angela Hartman. Some come for a single season but others have been helping for many years. Some provide home care to patients that need around the clock care. Each year one or two Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts work on a major project to improve the center. The center receives no city or state funding and relies entirely on memberships and donations. When wild animals get sick, injured or orphaned, they need a place to go for medical help. They depend on assistance from wildlife rehabilitators – trained, skilled, and licensed people who provide care to wildlife in need. We receive hundreds of animals each year and every one of them has a story. See first-hand what a wildlife hospital looks like beyond the lobby! There will be ongoing tours of the exam room, nurseries, and outdoor animal aviaries and enclosures. Volunteers will talk about what wildlife rehabilitation is and how you can help. All ages are welcome! OHSWRC Wish List: Pre-paid gas cards (to transport animals for veterinarian treatment, relocation, and care), hardware store gift cards (to make
repairs and build cages and animal habitats), boxes of rubber gloves (medium size), Dawn soap, bleach, laundry soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, heating pads, canned dog and cat food. This year we hope to replace our aging hot water heater and exterior fencing, so financial donations for these projects are greatly appreciated. To get to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center take Thornton Avenue (west toward the Bay), turn left onto Hickory Street, drive up Hickory past World Pac, drive through the parking lot and look for the green OHS Wildlife sign. Follow the road to the center. We have a small parking lot so please car pool with your family and friends.

Local Discovery Shop moves to new location SUBMITTED BY FREMONT DISCOVERY SHOP Walk in to any Discovery Shop and you’ll realize you have stumbled upon something special. Volunteers, the store’s primary staff members, buzz around the shop putting out new merchandise, ringing up sales at the register and sorting through the many items that have been donated by the community. The store is filled with a vast array of gently used items including clothing, accessories, furniture, jewelry, artwork, antiques, collectibles, books and household items. Also included among the merchandise and knick-knacks are a number of pamphlets outlining programs that American Cancer Society runs to help cancer patients. Since the profits from the store go toward the goals of reducing cancer mortality by 50 percent, decreasing incidence by 25 percent and improving the quality of life for all cancer patients, you will often find volunteers and staffers working the floor that are cancer survivors or have been personally affected by the devastating effects of the disease. Fighting cancer is woven into the nature and culture of the Discovery Shops. As the Fremont Discovery Shop begins the process of moving a few short miles to its new location, it seems apropos to look back at the history and mission of American Cancer Society’s unique quality resale
SUBMITTED BY THE HAYWARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Imagine being able to connect with a huge tent full of likely clients for your business. That’s the situation Hayward area business persons will be in October 5 during the 31st annual “Hayward Business Expo” under the Grand White Tent at St. Rose Hospital. “This is one of the East Bay’s premier business networking and exhibitor activities,” said Kim Huggett, president and CEO of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a place where networking abounds and deals are made. That’s why it continues to attract attention after so many years.” A long list of Hayward businesses will be exhibitors including financial institutions, telecommunications, health care, utilities, energy and recycling. Nonprofit organizations also will have exhibits. In addition to making connections with local businesses, attendees will enjoy food from local restaurants, gourmet coffee, wine, beer and sodas. Restaurants and bakeries will include Shark Shack and Nothing Bundt Cakes. There also will be food samples from leading Hayward manufacturers and

operation and recount how the 40 Discovery Shops across California have helped support the fight against cancer for the past 50 years. The Discovery Shop brought its unique brand of shopping to Fremont in 1996. Originally located in the Raley’s shopping center, the shop has been at its current location, on Chapel Way for more than a decade. This latest move, to 2690 Mowry Ave., brings the Discovery Shop back near its first location (though it will be in a different block of stores), now located closer to Walgreens in between Panera and The Gift Gallery. In celebration of our move, everything in the store will be 75 percent off during our last week at 40733 Chapel Way. This incredible discount continues until Friday, September 30, our last day in the Chapel location. The new Mowry location will open on Saturday, October 1 and will feature all of the great deals and unique items the Discovery Shop has become known for. We invite you to visit our newly relocated Fremont store to shop, donate, or volunteer. Your ongoing support will further our mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem through research, education, advocacy, and service.

Banks focus more on new accounts – and the fees they bring BY KEN SWEET AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), When Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf testifies before a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, it won’t be just his bank under fire for turning friendly branches into high-pressure sales centers. It’ll be the entire industry. Wells Fargo is in the spotlight now after its employees allegedly opened up to 2 million bank and credit card accounts, transferred customers’ money without telling them and even created fake email addresses to sign people up for online banking in an effort to meet lofty sales goals. But cross-selling, as it is called, is the lifeblood of the entire retail banking industry. Other banks don’t face allegations of fraud, like Wells Fargo is, but experts say the industry as a whole engages in high-pressure sales tactics. Once customers open a basic savings or checking account, banks give them the hard sell to sign up for even more, whether that’s a credit card or a mortgage or a retirement account. Overdraft protection was one common tactic, former Wells bankers said, telling customers to open an additional savings account to put aside money to cover overdrafts even though the customer didn’t have the resources to fund the account. Or getting the customer to open a new credit card just for overdraft protection. Surveys done last year by consulting firm cg42 showed that roughly 40 percent of Wells Fargo customers asked said their No. 1 complaint was employees’ constant pushing of products the customers did not need or want. But customers at other banks made similar complaints. Of Bank of America customers, 31 percent said they felt overly pressured for products they didn’t want or need. At both Chase and Citigroup, that figure was 27 percent. “Bank of America, Citi, Chase were all envious of Wells’ ability to cross-sell as well as they did,’’ said
Steve Beck, a managing partner with cg42. While customers complained of overly aggressive sales tactics, none of the other banks have been accused of wrongdoing except Wells. The change in focus for retail banks had been taking place slowly for years, but the financial crisis that began in 2007 and the impact on banks fueled faster change. The Federal Reserve’s cutting interest rates to nearly zero gave the economy a boost during the Great Recession, but it also eviscerated the banks’ ability to earn interest in-
“Won’t be just his bank under fire for turning friendly branches into high-pressure sales centers. It’ll be the entire industry.” come, spurring them to seek out new forms of revenue – often in the form of fees. And the more products a customer has, the more potential there is for a bank to earn fees. Those could be the overdraft fees at a checking account or management fees of a retiree’s nest egg. Another benefit for the industry is that having several products with a bank makes it more difficult for customers to leave and switch to a new one, said Bob Hedges, a banking industry consultant with A.T. Kearney. To adapt to their new business model, banks have been physically transforming their branches. Chase, Citi, BofA and Wells have all opened smaller branches with few, if any, teller windows for routine transactions like depositing checks or account inquiries that are more often handled at ATMs or on the Internet. Instead, there’s more square footage for personal bankers to assist customers with their needs – or possibly sell them additional products. Wells makes a point of calling its locations ``stores’’ instead of branches. “Cross-selling is hard, difficult work, but ultimately it’s about
keeping customers banking with you,’’ Hedges said. “But you also risk alienating your customers when you cross-sell too hard.’’ Wells Fargo, familiar to customers for its stagecoach logo, had also long been known in the banking industry for its aggressive sales goals. The average Wells Fargo household had on average more than six products with the bank, a metric Wells top executives would highlight every quarter with investors. The bank even had a “Gr-Eight’’ program aiming to raise that number to eight. Wells never reached that level. Wells’ definition of a “product’’ covers many types of services, Hedges said. Online banking, a savings account and a checking account could all be considered separate products at Wells. Customers at other banks usually have no more than three products, said Hedges. Wells Fargo’s CEO has said the bad behavior was isolated to only a handful of employees and managers, even though Wells acknowledged that it had fired more than 5,000 employees for misconduct. After being fined last week, Wells pledged to end the sales goals program by the end of the year. Ruth Landaverde, a former worker at both Wells Fargo and Bank of America, said the pressure was intense at Wells and at BofA. She worked for Wells Fargo from 2009 to 2010 at a division that sold additional products like credit cards to already existing customers. Stress got so high that Landaverde said she developed a tic in her eye and sleep problems. Landaverde said she had to sell four credit cards and four auto loans each week, as well as three home mortgages or refinance submissions. She said the quotas were simply to keep her job, not to earn any substantial commission or bonus. “I wasn’t going to do something unethical, but the sales pressure was very real,’’ she said. “I can see why some employees did what they did.’’

General Mills tweaks big brands: More cinnamon, more protein BY CANDICE CHOI AP FOOD INDUSTRY WRITER NEW YORK (AP), Sprinkle more cinnamon on Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, switch to antibiotic-free chicken for Progresso soups, pump up the protein in Yoplait yogurts. Those are some of the tactics General Mills is hoping can keep people interested in its stable of products. Like other major food companies, General Mills is struggling to navigate fickle American tastes and increasing competition, with its core U.S. retail sales down 5 percent in the most recent quarter. While names like Cheerios, Yoplait and Progresso remain hugely popular, the Minneapolis-based company is trying to fend off smaller players promising something newer or more wholesome. The food industry has become more “entrepreneurial,’’ General Mills CEO Ken Powell said in an interview, with an increase in the number of smaller brands vying for customers. But he said General Mills is paying close attention to the “shifting values’’ of customers, and making sure it’s giving people what they want. “These changes in attitude are not elusive,’’ he said. The tweaks major packaged food companies are making vary in their success. Last year, General Mills swapped out the aspar-
tame in Yoplait Light for the sweetener widely known as Splenda. The company said Wednesday the change did not help or hurt. But the U.S. yogurt sales were down 15 percent in the quarter. Looking ahead, General Mills said it plans to add more protein to its Yoplait Greek 100, since people are increasingly looking for foods that will keep them fuller for longer. In a note to investors, RBC Capital Markets analyst David Palmer said he expects new product news and marketing to minimize the company’s yogurt declines throughout the year. Other changes by General Mills have been more successful. As sales of gluten-free products have surged, the company started marketing some of its Cheerios varieties as gluten-free. Oats naturally do not have gluten, but General Mills said it ensured that its manufacturing process is not contaminated by gluten. Keeping people interested in products isn’t always about jumping on health trends. Jeff Harmening, General Mills’ president and chief operating officer, noted that what people want varies depending on the product. For Cinnamon Toast Crunch, he noted that sales rose after the company added more cinnamon. And for Cocoa Puffs, Harmening said sales were up 20 percent in the most re-
cent quarter after the company made them “more chocolatey.’’ Still, General Mills’ overall U.S. cereal sales were down 4 percent for the three months ended Aug. 28. Sales in its U.S. meals segment were down 19 percent, with Progresso soup suffering declines. To win back customers, General Mills said it is in the process of switching to chicken raised without antibiotics for the soups. The company’s competitors are also tweaking their lineups. PepsiCo Inc. recently announced an organic version of its neon-colored Gatorade drinks. And Kellogg Co. is trying to shake Special K’s image as a diet food, and reposition it as a nourishing option with ingredients like quinoa. For its fiscal first quarter, General Mills said Wednesday that total sales declined 7 percent to $3.91 billion and cited the “challenging macro environment’’ for failing to meet its own expectations. After adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange rates and divestitures, the company said sales were down 4 percent in the quarter. General Mills earned $409 million, or 67 cents per share, for the period as cost cutting helped boost results. After adjusting for restructuring and non-recurring costs, earnings were 78 cents per share. That was 2 cents better than Wall Street expected.
LinkedIn adding training features, news feeds and ‘bots’ BY BRANDON BAILEY AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER SAN FRANCISCO (AP), LinkedIn wants to become more useful to workers by adding personalized news feeds, helpful messaging ``bots’’ and recommendations for online training courses, as the professional networking service strives to be more than just a tool for job-hunting. The new services will arrive just as LinkedIn itself gains a new boss Microsoft - which is paying $26 billion to acquire the Silicon Valley company later this year. LinkedIn said the new features, which it showed off to reporters Thursday, were in the works before the Microsoft takeover was announced in June. But LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner said his company hopes to incorporate some of Microsoft’s technology as it builds more things like conversational ``chat bots,’’ or software that can carry on limited conversations, answer questions and perform tasks like making reservations. Chat bots are a hot new feature in the consumer tech world, where companies like Facebook, Apple and Google are already racing to offer useful services based on artificial intelligence. As a first step, LinkedIn says it will soon introduce a bot that could help someone schedule a meeting with another LinkedIn user, by comparing calendars and suggesting a
convenient time and meeting place. The new bot will be part of an online messaging service that LinkedIn is gradually expanding to make it easier for users to communicate without opening a new screen or switching to email. LinkedIn is also adding more personalized features to its news feed, where members can see articles and announcements posted by their professional contacts. A new ``Interest Feed’’ will offer a collection of articles, posts and opinion pieces on major news events or current issues. While many people already turn to Facebook, Twitter or individual news sites for similar updates, LinkedIn managers suggest their feeds will be more tailored to each user’s professional interests, by a combination of human editors and computer algorithms. Similarly, LinkedIn says it’s begun using the online training resources of its Lynda.com educational subsidiary to make personalized recommendations for online courses that augment each user’s current skills or career interests. The new features are the latest additions LinkedIn has made to its core service in recent years _ for example, by inviting prominent people and ordinary members to write their own articles or essays for the site. LinkedIn Corp. makes most of its money from fees that job recruiters pay to use its database of more than
450 million members worldwide. But it wants to keep members engaged so they check in regularly and keep their profiles updated. Weiner and other executives say they want to make the site useful for more than just job-hunting. The idea is to ``help members be more productive and successful in what they’re trying to do,’’ said LinkedIn vice president Ryan Roslansky. LinkedIn has measured an increase in routine visits to its website and mobile apps over the last year, Roslansky said, even after the company cut back on the volume of email notifications that it sends to members. It did so, he acknowledged, after members complained they were getting too many emails. Microsoft Corp., meanwhile, wants to augment its own workplace software with LinkedIn’s stockpile of information about its members’ job histories and professional contacts. It may combine LinkedIn’s data, for example, with online programs that Microsoft sells to businesses for managing sales, hiring and other back-office functions. Weiner, who is expected to continue running LinkedIn as a semi-independent subsidiary of Microsoft, said the two companies are working on ways to integrate some services. But he said he wasn’t ready to disclose more details.

BY MARGARET THORNBERRY
M
r. Billy Selak at age 91 is a living treasure, a cheerful narrator of stories from his 70-year career as a musician, a man proud of all the weddings he and his bands made memorable, the many concerts he’s played in, and the people he’s met and entertained over the years. “I have a lovely home, my life was terrific, I love life and I appreciate everything,” says Selak. The paint was hardly dry on the old Center Theater back in 1948 when Selak got a call to play a show with western star, “Cowboy” Chuck Ryan in a place called Centerville. “Where’s Centerville?” he recalls asking. He soon found out, and in 1960 moved his young family to Fremont, where he has made his home ever since. Selak started playing the accordion as a youngster, when he was hardly bigger than the instrument himself. His hard work and talent, a prodigious memory for music, and a genuine love of people provided him with a prosperous life and countless friends, many of them notables in the world of entertainment. He played with Frank Sinatra,
Tony Bennett, and for Sophia Loren during his time working at the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel, where he performed in a 20-piece band from the stage of the Grand Ballroom. When Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour did a show at the Fox Theater to promote their film “Road to Hong Kong,” Selak was there playing, and remembers that the band dressed in Oriental costume for the show.
Other notable performances he recalls with fondness included a stint at the San Francisco Hyatt Regency, where he spent eight years entertaining guests. With a beautiful smile, he describes strolling in the atrium lobby while playing music from the latest musicals appearing at the Curran Theater, accompanied by four beautifully gowned girls playing violins. At Pleasanton’s Castlewood Country Club, he organized the music and played
for as many as 200 weddings a year, with up to 600 guests at each. He organized a variety of musicians over the years under Billy Selak Music and provided the entertainment at many an elegant nightclub in the Bay Area. But don’t imagine that Selak’s talents were limited only to show tunes and crooner music and were always performed in the most glamorous settings. He and his group performed at the Livermore Rodeo for five years, and entertained from the back of a flatbed truck during the Livermore Parade. Perhaps the most unusual venue was a wine and cheese benefit held inside Coit Tower, which the five musicians found far from spacious, or possibly when he was asked to perform in a jumbo jet parked at San Francisco airport. Then there were 15 years of TV appearances on almost every channel available at the time in Northern California, most particularly KOVR Channel 13, which produced “California Hayride.” He played with many of the top country and western stars of the time and was friends with Minnie Pearl, star of the Grand Ole Opry. “I’m proud of what I did for a living. I’m proud that I was with all those stars,” says Selak. The one single event he was possibly most proud of providing
entertainment for was in 1974 at the Blue Dolphin Club in the San Leandro Marina, a reunion held on the 32nd anniversary of the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo in 1942, honoring the pilots, living and dead, who flew that one-way mission, a response to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. Along with the many signed photos of actors, musicians, and others in the entertainment industry, the program from that event is one of his most cherished mementos. While Selak has a great faith in God and is a cheerful soul, in a long life there will be some dark times. Those fortunate enough to live to great age will lose friends and family. His wife Florence has
gone before, as has his son Will, who suffered a heart attack at age 47. His faith in God, his patron St. Jude, and his positive outlook shines through when he talks about the time a tire came off his car as he was barreling along on what was then called the Nimitz Freeway. “It was a miracle, I could have been killed, the other people could have been killed, but no-one was even hurt!” This same spirit keeps him active and engaged and positive, even after having suffered a bad fall and a visit to the hospital recently. He says, “I think about this world. There’s a little seed of God in every person, in the beginning…”
Services offered during High Holidays SUBMITTED BY NEAL GREENBERG With just a few weeks before the onset of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), the question of where to attend services is high on the list for many Jewish families and singles. Recognizing the often high price tag attached to the experience, Chabad of Fremont is offering their friendly and welcoming services for free for individuals of all ages. Other Jewish temples in the greater Tri-Cities have also offered services during the High Holidays. By providing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) services in a warm and inclusive setting, Chabad hopes to accommodate those who may otherwise not be celebrating the holiday. Chabad’s userfriendly services make for an enjoyable and meaningful experience for both the beginner and the advanced. Song, commentary, and the use of EnglishHebrew prayer books invite individuals of all levels to become active participants in the service. Rabbi Moshe Fuss of Chabad of Fremont shares: “The Lubavitcher Rebbe – Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory – insisted that Judaism be made accessible to all Jews. During the High Holidays, accessibility can translate into dif-
ferent factors for different people, such as a nonjudgmental atmosphere, affordability of the services or the ability for a beginner to follow along. Our goal is to lower the barriers of entry and encourage everyone to actively participate in these most holy and introspective days.” The highlight event will be the Rosh Hashanah Community Dinner on October 3. The event will feature the traditional Shofar Blowing, an exciting children’s program and a delicious Brisket Dinner. For more information about Chabad of Fremont’s services or to reserve a space, visit www.chabadfremont.com or call (510) 300-4090. Rosh Hashanah begins this year at sundown on Sunday, October 2 and extends until nightfall on Tuesday, October 4. The holiday is celebrated with prayer, repentance, charity, time with family and friends, and the eating of traditional foods. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins this year after sundown on Tuesday, October 11 and extends until nightfall on Wednesday, October 12. During this period Jews must be repentant, forgive others, and right any wrongs in order to change their fate in the coming year.

Teacher training program: A Bite of Science SUBMITTED BY SHERRY PEREZ The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) will sponsor a Bite of Science professional enrichment session, cost-free, for middle and high school teachers on Thursday, September 29 in Newark. This Bite of Science session, sponsored by AMGEN Foundation, Hologic, Lockheed Martin and Vulcan Materials, and hosted by Ohlone College will be held at Ohlone College’s Newark Center for Health Science and Technology, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. The dinner is for STEM teachers who wish to broaden their perspective of science in their classroom. The mission of the Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP) is to assure a future talented and diverse U.S. workforce in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). TEP provides rural and urban underserved high school teachers the opportunity to connect with experts from industry and academia to explore cutting-edge research and make meaningful professional links with direct benefits for their students. Bite of Science is designed to improve teachers’ ability to provide students a context of how science is applied in the real world and inspire students to pursue careers of excellence and leadership in STEM. This Bite of Science session for teachers is estimated to impact at least 4,100 students in Fremont and surrounding communities in the Bay Area.
September 27, 2016
Bite of Science speakers will discuss their work and relate it back to the classroom for the teachers to inspire and guide students toward academic opportunities and STEM careers. The goals of the Teacher Enrichment Program are to: •Provide teachers with professional enrichment opportunities •Furnish the opportunity for teachers to ask questions and to interact directly with scientists and engineers •Foster excitement in teachers to create an interest in students for STEM fields through engagement with STEM professionals in and outside of the classroom •Inform teachers so they have a better understanding of research and development •Create awareness of the skills and knowledge needed for the 21st Century STEM worker •Allow teachers the opportunity to network with their peers Contact Natasha Schuh-Nuhfer, Ph.D., Director of the Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP), at nschuh@cee.org to learn more about this cost-free event.

SUBMITTED BY CYNTHIA PEREZ You’re never too old to fall in love, even if you are in a nursing home. Such is the story of 70-year old nursing home resident, Eric and 67 year old nursing home resident, Loretta who found love at first sight at Hillside Senior Care in Fremont. In March of this year, Loretta was admitted to the facility due to an illness. After struggling hard to recuperate and get back her independence, Loretta and her support team agreed that it was best to remain at the facility for long term care. As she began to adjust to all the new changes in her lifestyle, Eric became her new source of support. He had already gone through the same process
SUBMITTED BY NILES DISCOVERY CHURCH High school football serves as a focus for examining the Arab American experience since 9/11 in the documentary “Fordson: Faith, Fasting and Football,” on Saturday, October 8 as part of the Second Saturday Documentary Series at Niles Discovery Church. The showing is free and open to the public. Munir Safi, a member of the Eden Interfaith Council will moderate discussion at this screening of Rashid Ghazi’s award-winning film. Arab American football players, mostly Muslim, observe, “Football requires discipline. Ramadan requires discipline.” In this film, the big game with cross town rival Dearborn High takes place in September 2009 during the month of Ramadan, which prescribes that Muslims neither eat nor drink during the day. Dearborn Michigan has the largest concentration of Muslims and Arab Americans in the country, a trend that started with the plentiful jobs offered by the auto industry in the 1920’s and continues today
The march of the tarantulas continues in the regional parks. As I mentioned last week, this is their mating season, so the males can be seen more frequently out and about in search of females. Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch has a tarantula in residence, appropriately named Harry. You can meet Harry and learn more about his kind in a program hosted by naturalist Eddie Willis from 1:00 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 2. Meet at the parking lot at the upper end of Somersville Road, 3 miles south of Highway 4. For information, call 888-327-2757, ext. 2750. Naturalist Cat Taylor will show Hairy, another tarantula, during a program from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, October 2 in the Rocky Ridge Visitor Center at Del Valle Regional Park south of Livermore. Her program includes a walk in search of spider homes. For information, call 510-544-3249. And though it’s not specific to tarantulas, naturalist Anthony Fisher plans
having been admitted to the facility four years ago. Eric and Loretta would spend most of the time socializing during recreational activities and quickly became very good friends. They insisted on sitting next to each other during meals and the staff would always find them chatting and discussing their life with each other. As their friendship grew, the couple fell in love; they began to make plans to get married and share their life together. The facility’s staff worked with the residents and their responsible parties to make their wishes come true. On September 16, the couple got married at Hillside Senior Care accompanied by their fellomw residents, staff and family.
with resettlement of Syrian refugees. In 2009, Fordson High was 95 percent Arab American and mostly Muslim. The film interviews football players, football fans and community members about how their lives changed after 9/11, when acceptance changed to fear and frequent threats of violence. Football, the iconic American game, remained a unifying passion, and viewers will identify with the hungry and thirsty Fordson Tractors as they face their toughest game of the season. The Second Saturday Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & Justice Center.
an “I Hate Spiders” program from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 2 at the Environmental Education Center in Tilden Nature Area. Anthony will talk about spiders and their role in nature and then lead a search for them in the field. The center is located at the north end of Tilden’s Central Park Drive. For information, call 510-544-2233. Wednesday Walks is a series of naturalist-led hikes to explore various regional parks. There’s a walk from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on October 5 at Redwood Regional Park in Oakland with naturalist Susan Ramos. It’s a moderate 5.25-mile hike starting at the park’s Skyline Gate, which is on Skyline Boulevard in Oakland between Canyon Road/Pinehurst Road and the Chabot Space and Science Center. Bring water and wear comfortable hiking shoes. For information, call 510-544-3187. The regional parks will celebrate Bay Day with an easy 2.5-mile walk from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 1 at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland, led by naturalist Michael Charnofsky. Bay views, abundant wildlife and native plant landscaping are the benefits along the way. Planned in conjunction with Save

the Bay organization, this is also a Healthy Parks, Healthy People event, in which the park district promotes health, fitness and outdoor safety. Meet at the Arrowhead Marsh staging area off Swan Way and Doolittle Drive in Oakland. For information, call 510-544-3187. As has been widely reported, retired East Bay Regional Park District director Ted Radke of Martinez died recently after a long illness. Ted was the longest serving director in the park district’s history, on the board from 1978 until his retirement in 2014. He was also a political science professor for 34 years at Contra Costa College in Richmond. At the regional park district and beyond, Ted was active in many environmental causes. He was instrumental in establishment or expansion of many regional park lands, including Martinez and Carquinez Regional Shorelines, Briones, Big Break in Antioch, and the regional trail system. He was also an effective advocate on behalf of parks and open space with legislators in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. He will be missed.

from the tiny little space behind the door to the back of the bathroom. This allowed for a much larger shower, and also provided a striking focal point in the space. The toilet was moved several inches in order to create the space. The window was left in its current location, but is now inside the shower. Relocating the shower gave us space for a much needed second sink. I also recommended reversing the door swing on the bathroom door. In the old bath, it blocked the entrance to the tiny shower, and, had it remained as it was, it would have blocked access to the sink. Reversing the door swing provided much more floor space.

his family has four adorable young children, and wanted to reconfigure their outdated baths to increase space and add functionality. These two baths
materials in both baths. However, I did change the tile design to keep things interesting. Notice the asymmetrical vertical stripes in the shower, and the large arch feature in the tub. The same glass mosaic is used in both spaces, but with very different results. The wall and floor tiles are porcelain, and the countertop is engineered quartz, for easy cleaning and maintenance. The end result is a pair of beautiful and functional new bathrooms that fit the needs of this busy family.
were back-to-back in the house, in between the kids’ bedrooms. They needed to be child-friendly, with easy-to-maintain materials, but also coordinate with the rest of the house in terms of color and style. The left-side bath had a very tiny, claustrophobic shower
awkwardly situated behind the bathroom door, and only one sink. The right-side bath had a tub/shower combination and again, only one sink. The clients and I considered different options for the two baths. One option was to remove the wall separating the baths and create one large, open bathroom space with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and four sinks and vanities in the center, sort of like a kitchen island, for the four children. But, after weighing pros and cons of our options, ultimately we decided to keep two separate bathrooms. Here’s what I designed for them to give them the flexibility and space they needed: In the bathroom on the left, I moved the walk-in shower
In the bathroom on the right, we kept the tub and shower in its existing location, but removed the overhead soffit to make it more spacious and bright. We added a second sink, while still being able to keep linen storage in the bath. The new linen cabinet even has a pullout laundry hamper. In both baths, we plumbed for a hand-held shower on a slide bar. This allows the showerhead to be adjusted for the varying heights of all four children (adults too!), and also allows for convenient cleaning of the tub and shower. For consistency and flow throughout the house, I recommended keeping the colors neutral and using the same

City of Fremont News Briefs SUBMITTED BY CHERYL GOLDEN Rental Housing Options to be discussed at Special Fremont City Council Meeting On Tuesday, September 27 at 7 p.m., Fremont City Council will hear a report from City staff on rent control, just cause eviction, and other options for promoting affordability in rental housing in Fremont. The Council will not take any action at this meeting, but will provide direction to staff regarding next steps. The meeting will take place at Fremont City Hall in the Council Chambers, located at 3300 Capitol Ave. Historic Sites Launch Passport to Adventure Program It might come as a surprise to some that the City of Fremont is the most historic area in all of Alameda County. Many Fremont visitors and residents are unaware that the city is home to nine major historic sites, including three museums, two historic houses, the only California Mission in Alameda County, an art gallery, and a heritage railway and railroad museum, that have come together to form the Fremont Museum Group (FMG). To raise awareness of Fremont’s rich history, these nine historic locations have banded together as FMG to initiate the Passport to Adventure Program, which launched on September 10.
How does it work? Fremont visitors and residents can pick up a “passport” postcard at any of the nine participating locations, take it with them to visit each historical site during regular business hours, and get their passport punched. Participants will have the opportunity to see, touch, and experience life in Fremont as it was up to over a million years ago! Participating historic sites include: Washington Township Museum of Local History Niles Depot Historical Foundation The Patterson House Olive Hyde Art Center Niles Canyon Railway Children’s Natural History Museum Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum Shinn House Old Mission San Jose After visiting each location and filling out the entire postcard, participants will not only be more informed on the significance of the historic Fremont area, but they will also receive a personalized certificate designating them as a Passport to Adventure Historian. For additional details, please visit the Passport to Adventure Facebook page at www.facebook.com/fremontmuseumgroup. Pumpkins, spiced apple cider, cable-knit sweaters, and…Oktoberfest!

Tri-City Stargazer SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4, 2016 For All Signs: Our largest planet, Jupiter, moved into the sign of Libra on September 9 and will remain in that sign for nearly 13 months. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, optimism, philosophy, travel and education. It generally represents improvements and growth in whatever department of life it touches. Its last sojourn through Libra occurred between October 4 and October 5, so review that Aries the Ram (March 21April 20): The year brings improvements in all your most intimate relationships. This may be the year to get married or develop a beneficial business partnership. Those with client bases will note considerable expansion. The period is favorable for attracting positive assistance through professional consultants, e.g., doctors, counselors, etc. Travel and/or education are on the increase. Taurus the Bull (April 21May 20): Jupiter will increase the physical vitality, heal anomalies, and offer improvements in work conditions. Relationships to coworkers will be enhanced and equipment may be updated. This is the time to look for a better job (or it may find you). Any type of self-improvement program, but especially those relating to the physical body, will have highly beneficial results. Many will adopt pets. Gemini the Twins (May 21June 20): The time has come to relax and remember how to play. All types of creative work will be enhanced and those with children will find greater satisfaction and a more rewarding relationship in the next year. Those who want children or a new love affair will likely be granted their wish. Give yourself permission to explore
new possibilities in creative selfexpression. Cancer the Crab (June 21July 21): Jupiter will bring improvements to your domestic life. This may manifest in a new home or other property, such as a car. It especially favors home decorating or expansion projects. Domestic problems of the past may be improved or resolved during this period. Opportunities to improve and augment relationships to the family of origin will be presented. Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22): During the next year opportunities for travel will probably increase. Relationships with siblings, roommates and/or neighbors will be more rewarding and your overall daily attitude becomes more optimistic. Focus of attention on communication (written or oral) will be highlighted. Educational opportunities are attractive and expanded. You may become a teacher in your field. Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22): You will likely have improvements in financial income or other personal resources. This may develop either as the result of general good luck or increased effort. Optimistic attitudes concerning money might lead you to overextend resources. Your
era for comparison. Jupiter’s change of signs affects everyone, but is perceived in a different way, depending upon the sun and ascendant signs at birth. They both apply, so if you know your ascendant (or rising sign), you can read both zodiac signs below.
sense of self-esteem is increased by several notches as you demonstrate what you have learned in recent years. Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22): Jupiter in your sign will lighten any load, renew your sense of optimism and reinforce your self-esteem. Help and cooperation of others will be more available to you, especially if you make your requests in person. The spiritual dimension of your life will improve and travel or education becomes more prominent. The only difficulty with this transit is the tendency for weight gain. Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21): Any effort toward becoming more acquainted with the deeper parts of your self will be well rewarded. Positive results can be achieved through psychotherapy, dream work, meditation, hypnosis and/or prayer. Assistance will come to you through unexpected (and possibly mysterious) sources. Your desire to contribute to the greater social good will increase and yield good karma. Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21): Effort invested in organizational or group social causes will be returned in bounty. Networking with friends and acquaintances
may play an active role toward helping you attain personal goals in life. Relationships with stepchildren (and more generally to other people's children) will improve and become a source of pleasure. Corporate financial resources may increase. Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Any reasonable effort in the area of profession, career or social status should meet with favorable results during the next few months. There may be additional travel, or educational/teaching opportunities associated with career endeavors. Relationships to superiors will be more supportive. Opportunities develop to improve relationships with the family of origin. Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): Jupiter augurs improvements and good fortune through any or all
of the following: legal or ethical issues, contacts with foreign lands or people who live at a distance, the Internet, higher education, teaching, publishing and long distance travel. Events of the next year will broaden your perspective on all of life and expand your sense of connection to a larger circle of others. Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Gain comes to you through areas of shared financial resources. These may include: compensation from insurance or other group holdings, increases in partner’s income, sale of property, gains through inheritance or gifts, increase in the value of stocks, bonds or other mutually held property, or tax benefits. Debts owed to you will be paid, whether financial or favors. Intimate life is on the upswing.

ummer may be over, but there are still plenty of opportunities for outdoor family fun. One such event is “Science in the Park,” a free science festival to be held Saturday, October 1 at Alden E. Oliver Sports Park in Hayward. Geared toward youngsters in grades K-12, the fair is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), with over 50 booths providing hands-on activities and interactive games. Groups promoting environmentally safe practices will be in attendance, as well as organizations raising health awareness. Science in the Park is hosted by Richard Valle, Alameda County Supervisor of District 2 (Hayward, Union City, Newark, and parts of Fremont and Sunol), in conjunction with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD). “The backbone of all of this is to support the school districts in our district,” says Nancy Sa, a member of Valle’s staff who oversees the event.
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
In fact, several teachers from District 2 will be on hand leading live demos and giving interactive science lessons. The fair is also an opportunity for local students to show off their science skills. Says Sa, “Newark Memorial High School has a Rocketry Club that comes every year and demonstrates how to build a motor for your rocket, how to put a rocket together, and then they do rocket launches every half hour or so.” Expected attendance is estimated to be around 5,000 – not bad for an event that started out as a small local science fair at James Logan High School in Union City. The year was 1997 and then Union City Councilmember Richard Valle wanted to do something fun and educational for the people of the Tri-City Area. Says Sa, “Back in the day, we didn’t have a lot of these fun events in central and south county like they had in Oakland and San Francisco and San Jose.” And so the Science, Earth and Health Festival was born, lasting ten years, from 1997 to 2007. In 2011 it was brought back on an expanded scale and moved to the Alden E. Oliver Sports Park in Hayward. In 2012, due to its
huge popularity, Valle decided to make it a biennial event (every other year). Someone who has been involved with Science in the Park since its inception is Joyce Blueford, Board President of Fremont Math Science Nucleus, a non-profit dedicated to promoting science in education. “It’s definitely a family event. The whole idea is to get the kids interested in science. It’s like a science fair, but more just science fun.” This year, the Fremont Math Science Nucleus will be promoting water management, teaming up with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and the Alameda County Water District. Says Blueford, “We’ll be doing activities that explore the water molecule and the water cycle, and the SFPUC will have

will receive a prize. And new this year will be a LEGO Carnival area under a big circus-like tent, where kids of all ages can build to their heart’s content. Says Sa, “There will be three to four different LEGO activity stations, as well as a District Build Station, where you can build your own house out of LEGOs and then we place it on a map.” The LEGO Carnival area will also be the location of the traditional Elected Official Contest, where elected officials from other districts will compete in a LEGObuilding activity. The winning team will receive a $1,000 donation for the school foundation in their city or district. Not only is Science in the Park a fun and free way to learn about science, but it’s an amazing model of community collaboration, where groups throughout the region gather and work together for a common cause. Says HARD Recreation Superintendent Kerrilyn Ely, “This is a great event that could not be done without partnerships including the county (Supervisor Valle), local schools, non-profits and our Park District.”
their water truck there giving away free water.” Sa recommends everyone bring their reusable water bottles. Sa also encourages everyone to ride their bikes to the event, as there will be a Bike Rodeo hosted by the California Highway Patrol. The Alameda County Transportation Commission’s BikeMobile will also be there, offering free hands-on bicycle repair and safety training. Of course, Science in the Park would not be complete without the traditional Egg Drop Challenge. The objective of this experiment is to design and build a container out of everyday materials (paper, plastic, cardboard, etc.) that will protect a raw egg from a 60- foot drop off a fire engine ladder! Participants should build their container at home and bring it to the event. Everyone

SUBMITTED BY SANDIP SHAH PHOTO COURTESY OF SHASHI DESAI, DREAMSNAPS For the first time in the Bay Area, Bay Area Youth Vaishnav Parivar (BAYVP), a nonprofit located in Milpitas, is hosting nine consecutive nights of open air celebration of “Garba/Dandia Festival” from Friday, September 30 to Sunday, October 9. The festival brings every age group together for nine consecutive nights of traditional Indian mass dance. The Indian calendar month of “Aaso” (like December in the
“Distant Moon Over Bay” by Biz Hasam
Gregorian calendar) is a month of various celebrations filled with traditions throughout India. Beginning this month, a festival called “Navratri” (nine nights), celebrated across the world and the state of Gujarat in India, leads the celebration. From kids and youth to adults and seniors, everyone from the smallest of the villages to the metro cities celebrates this unique festival. After sunset, everyone gathers at a venue around the statue of Goddess Amba or Lord Krishna, and for countless hours dances traditional Garba/Dandia (a form of rhythmic steps danced

After working as a technical illustrator in the aerospace industry and designing “part identifier manuals” for semi-conductor industries, he gained a reputation for his outstanding attention to detail, a trait that is evident in his paintings. An award-winning artist, his technically inspired subjects include architecture, aviation, automotive, and marine portrayals.

drawing at age 9. As a shy kid, he found it easier to communicate with others through art rather than words. Over the past several years, his art education has focused on classical realism. He has never considered art to be a career – it is a fundamental part of his identity. His work is mainly representational and influenced by his surroundings and culture. He experiments with a variety of media – oil paints, acrylics, and pencil drawings – using color, design, and composition to tell a story. He finds inspiration in late impressionistic and some modern art, but prefers to avoid formula and stay inventive, always pushing the limits of his skill and creativity. For Hasam, painting is an opportunity to explore beauty and communicate with the world around him; it is about discovery of self and a connection to life. These two artists exemplify the deep cultural tapestry woven into this outstanding exhibit. The Hayward Arts Council Open Juried Show Reception and Awards Presentation is Friday, October 7. The public is invited and the show is free.

Harness the Power of Solar with SunShares Solar electricity is helping cities throughout the Bay Area meet energy needs while reducing air pollution, enhancing resiliency, and revitalizing neighborhoods. The City of Fremont is one of nearly 40 local government agencies and major employers participating in Bay Area SunShares, a community-wide clean energy program that expands access to solar energy and zero-emission vehicles via pre-negotiated discounts. By pooling the buying power of individual participants, SunShares has negotiated competitive pricing from solar and ZEV vendors, passing those discounts on to residents. Three local and recognized solar installation companies (PetersenDean, SkyTech Solar, and SunRun) have been selected for the program and are offering discounted pricing to residents, making now the most affordable time to go solar! This year, SunShares is also introducing zero-emission vehicle discount options on the Nissan Leaf and Toyota Mirai. Imagine the possibilities: Save on your home utility bills, cut your gas costs, reduce your greenhouse gas footprint, and drive on clean energy! Plus, you’ll be doing your part to help Fremont win the $5 Million Georgetown University Energy Prize. To sign up for a no-cost, no-obligation home solar evaluation, receive your vehicle discount code, and learn how you can save on your utility bill for years to come by plugging into the sun, visit www.Fremont.gov/SunShares. This limited time offer is available until November 4, 2016.
Have you checked out the City of Fremont’s new residential climate action engagement platform called the Fremont Green Challenge? The Fremont Green Challenge website offers residents all the information they need to save energy, water, and money, all while reducing their impact on climate change! By setting up a personal account and completing a brief household profile, you’ll get custom savings and impact estimates for actions you can take related to energy efficiency, water conservation, clean transportation, renewable energy systems, food, and waste. Actions range from easy to challenging, and help you lower your impact in simple, fun, and cost-effective ways. For every action you complete, you will earn points that are directly attributable to the amount of carbon emissions you have reduced. You can then combine your points with other Fremont households by forming a team with your friends and neighbors and affiliating with your local school or community organization to compete for top Green Challenge rankings! Leading households, teams, and affiliations will be recognized for their achievements on the Challenge Leaderboard and highlighted through success stories. The Fremont Green Challenge will prove how innovative our community can be at reducing the impacts of climate change, bringing us one step closer to taking home the $5 Million Georgetown University Energy Prize.

Young string players give back to Fremont community
A
Violin Benefit Concert, presented by young musicians of Fremont, has been scheduled for Sunday, October 9 to raise funds for the Fremont Education Foundation (FEF). FEF is a nonprofit, public charity in Fremont established to support the district’s public schools to provide and maintain consistently high quality educational opportunities for the children of the community served by Fremont Unified School District (FUSD). All proceeds from the concert will be donated to support the After-School Band program, which makes instrumental music instruction available free-of-charge to all 27 elementary schools of FUSD. The concert features violinists Jerry Zhao, Jessica Chen and Kasey Yu, and violist Julian Tso —- all students of Mr. Ker Qi, a longtime Fremont resident and a renowned violin teacher. Mr. Qi graduated from Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and obtained a Master’s Degree for Musical Performance and a Master’s Degree in Music Education in the United States. For decades, he has provided rigorous and passionate instruction to students, many of whom have moved on to become professional musicians and winners in major competitions. Jerry Zhao, 12, a seventh grader at Horner Junior High,
started his violin career when he was only three years old. The youngest student of Mr. Qi, Jerry had a passion for violin, which led to his acceptance by the El Camino Youth Symphony at the age of six. He has performed in a benefit concert in Fremont for school fundraising and played background music at several Fremont Symphony Orchestra (FSO) concerts. Jessica Chen, 16, is a junior at Irvington High School. She discovered her passion for music in the second grade, when she first heard the soothing yet powerful notes of the violin from a friend. An avid violinist for eight years, Jessica currently enjoys her second year as a first violin of the California Youth Symphony’s Associate Orchestra. She loves performing at benefit concerts and senior centers, where she spreads the joy of music to a large number of people. A junior at Irvington High School, Kasey Yu, 16, has been actively studying violin under Mr. Qi for six years. During the 2014-2015 Season, Kasey had the pleasure of performing as a guest violinist with FSO. In the past year, she has become a member of the San Jose Youth Symphony Philharmonic Orchestra and had the opportunity to play for Mr. Linquan Luo, the Consul General of China in San Francisco.
A sophomore at Mission San Jose High School, Julian Tso, 15, has studied the viola for five years, and is now a member of the school orchestra, and of the California Youth Symphony’s Associate Orchestra. Just three years into learning the viola, he got accepted by the honor orchestra of the California Orchestra Directors Association, and was nominated to perform at the Winter Conference of the California Association of Music Education (Bay Section) as first chair. Julian enjoyed performing with professionals at Fremont Symphony Orchestra’s 2015-2016 season-opener. The repertoire at the Violin Benefit Concert ranges from well-known violin concertos of Beethoven, Mozart and Stamitz to Chinese pieces such as Butterfly Lovers Concerto. Pianist Dr.
Anny Cheng will accompany our young musicians. Dr. Cheng holds a Master’s Degree from Westminster Choir College, a Degree in Collaborative Piano from Longy School of Music, and a Doctoral Degree in Collaborative Piano from Arizona State University. Hosting the event will be Debra Watanuki, who has volunteered with FEF for over 10 years, and recently rejoined the FEF board of directors to serve as Coordinator for the After-School Band program. She wholeheartedly believes in the value of music education at school and the fundamental role it plays in fostering wellrounded, disciplined and valuable young members of society. Tickets to the concert are available at violinbenefitconcert2016.eventbrite.com or
www.youngmusician.org. There is no charge to attend, however free-will donations are gladly accepted via cash, check, or credit card at the concert.

Discovering primates
SUBMITTED BY ERIN HARRISON On Wednesday, October 5, Oakland Zoo welcomes the public to “Discovering Primates,” an evening celebrating primates. Highlights of the night will include a silent auction that includes exclusive, behind-the-scenes experiences at Oakland Zoo, food and wine, and a presentation by primate expert Rosamira Guillen. The evening will also feature a presentation about the critically endangered Cotton-top tamarin, one of the world’s smallest primates. Guillen is executive director of Proyecto Titi, a Colombian based conservation organization dedicated to the Cotton-top tamarin. Because of their critically endangered status, two of four resident Cotton-top tamarins at Oakland Zoo are part of the SSP (Species Survival Program) in hopes they reproduce to help ensure the survival of their species in AZA- (Association of Zoos & Aquariums) accredited zoos. Tickets to the evening event are $12 – 20, sliding scale. All proceeds from this annual event will be donated to Budongo Snare Removal Project in Uganda, co-founded by Jane Goodall Institute in 2001. The project focuses
on saving chimpanzees of the Budongo forest by removing deadly snares set by poachers that maim or kill the thousands of chimpanzees. Oakland Zoo has served as sole-funder of the project since its creation and has donated more than $200,000 to support its efforts. Funds are used to provide salaries for four field assistants, two educators, two eco-guards, transportation, necessary gear, and livestock as a source of alternative income for former poachers. “We are so proud of the work of the Budongo Snare Removal Project. Their innovative approach to conservation ensures a future that is healthy for humans, the environment and chimpanzees,” said Amy Gotliffe, conservation director at Oakland Zoo. According to conservationists, chimpanzees are endangered worldwide: There was a time when more than one million chimpanzees used to live in the forests of at least 25 countries in Africa. Since the 1960s, the figure has dropped to as low as 150,000 residing in only six countries, making chimpanzees an endangered species per the International Union for Conservation of Nature. For additional information about the event, please contact Kyla Balfour, conservation specialist, at kbalfour@oaklandzoo.org. Discovering Primates Wednesday, Oct 5 6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. Oakland Zoo 9777 Golf Links Rd, Oakland (510) 632-9525 www.oaklandzoo.org Program fee: $12-$20 sliding scale

That loveable family of creepy kooks is alive and well and living in their super-spooky mansion in Central Park. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met.

New technology aids athletic trainers to spot concussions SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW
W
ashington Township Medical Foundation’s Athletic Trainers are taking the lead in sports technology and safety. They will be using a revolutionary piece of equipment called “Eyesync.” The size of two I-Pads put together, it consists of a set of glasses that can spot potential concussions. Eyesync is easily transportable and fits into a small suitcase. The best part is that the FDA just
gave its approval for use. Developed by physicians and neuroscientists at Stanford University in 2009, it uses eye tracking and predictive-motion testing related to brain function. The latest research shows eye movement is a good indicator of brain injury. Dr. Jamshid G. Hajar, Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of the Concussion and Brain Performance Center at Stanford, says that eye movement is the window to your brain. The newest research by David Putrino of the Burke Medical Research Institute in White Plains, New York, and a leading Institute in brain studies, also finds that eye movement is good way to track the severity of concussion diagnoses.
There are many field tests ranging from reading numbers from a piece of paper to moving an object up and down in front of the athlete, but they do not always show the severity of the brain injury. Over the years, athletes have waged an ongoing battle to find ways to beat the test; they simply want to continue playing. They do not realize just how much damage a concussion can cause to the brain and long term effects. A concussion is not localized to one part of the brain as with a stroke. It affects many parts so if you using a distributed function like eye movements, a small amount of injury can be detected. On September 13, 2016, at Irvington High School in Fremont, Steven Zonner, D.O.,
Family Medicine, Sports Medicine, presented and demonstrated Eyesync to coaches, parents, and athletes. In an unplanned demonstration of its effectiveness, Dr. Zonner used the equipment to determine if a young athlete, recovering from a concussion the week before, was ready to start playing soccer again. The young man put on the Eyesync glasses and it was determined that brain injury still remained. A return to the field could have resulted in a more severe brain injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are between 1.6 million and 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions, respectively, each year; many thousands more go undetected. Portable eye-tracking systems like EyeSync may finally make it possible to discover at least some of these previously missed concussions. This new equipment will give athletes of the Mission Valley Athletic League an edge in safety.

and sportsmanship for female athletes in a game that has been predominantly played by males. What started out with only six girls wanting to play baseball, blossomed into a total of 19 girls, creating two full teams of Dynamite Divas. When the Divas arrived at their first game, the opposing manager was baffled, realizing his opposing team was made up of all girls. His immediate response was, “Who’s going to pitch for them?” But those Dynamite Divas soon
demonstrated their equality against the all-boys team, removing everyone’s doubts. Next time you imagine that perfect catch winning the game, don’t assume there’s a boy in that picture. Look a bit closer; there may be a talented girl under that cap, surrounded by an entire team!

TAKES FROM SILICON VALLEY EAST Startup Grind Recap: Amit Kumar, Founder of Trimian BY SHILPI SHARMA, STARTUP GRIND FREMONT CHAPTER DIRECTOR Everything you need to know about Amit Kumar, Fremont’s August Startup Grind guest, is embedded in the name of his company, Trimian. The name stems from “tri-simian” (three monkeys) and references “sanbiki no sari” (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil). In other words, Kumar likes to monkey around, and in the process, solve real problems. He believes that the best startup ideas are what you wish your company was doing, but it isn’t. Trimian solves the problem of how to leverage professional networks such as your workplace or alumni association. Think of it as a more familiarized version of LinkedIn that’s focused on location and community building. Amit Kumar’s career journey provides inspiration for entrepreneurs. He got his start in a familiar place — a Fortune 500 company — and then found his own path. Kumar doesn’t knock that experience, however, noting that spending a couple of years at a large company is a smart move for entrepreneurs. “You can use the network to your advantage,” he said. In fact, many of Kumar’s early investors were his former managers, “people who knew me.” Kumar has been the sole founder of his two startups, which bucks the conventional wisdom that you shouldn’t approach the job alone. He describes the co-founder search as a “crap-shoot.” This reflects Kumar’s individualistic approach to many startup conundrums. For example, how do you shorten the feedback cycle? Easy. “Be a user of your own product!” And,
how do you figure out your hiring strategy? “Do a bad job at all of the functions to understand what you really need.” Other kernels of wisdom include: • Startups don’t fail because of bad products. They fail because they don’t have a distribution strategy. • Borrow the brand. Don’t be afraid to promote high-profile users of your product in order to build awareness. Next month, the focus will change from social networking to smart homes. On September 27, Startup Grind Fremont will host Andrew Dickson, founder of Acre Designs, a startup creating zero-energy smart homes with a unique approach to prefabrication. Acre Designs was recently funded by and participated in Y Combinator, the world’s leading startup accelerator. Andrew, interior architect and industrial designer, is an expert when it comes to solving design challenges. His career started in Chicago at a leading corporate interior firm, and later at several boutique product design firms. Andrew also founded Acronym Designs, which produces high-end, sustainable furniture sold throughout North America. All of his experience defines his approach to home construction. Join us on September 27 for tips on creating smart, sustainable, eco-friendly homes. You’ll find us at EFI (6700 Dumbarton Cir., Fremont). Doors open at 6 p.m. Get your tickets online at www.startupgrind.com/fremont/.

Plan proposed to safely dispose of unwanted OTC and prescription drugs SUBMITTED BY LAUREL ANDERSON
Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District receives certificate of excellence SUBMITTED BY ALAMEDA COUNTY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT The Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District received the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence by the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) in recognition of its outstanding efforts to promote transparency and good governance. “This award is a testament to Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District’s commitment to open government,” said Ryan Clausnitzer, District Manager. “The entire District staff is to be commended for their contributions that empower the public with information and facilitate engagement and oversight.” In order to receive the award, a special district must demon-
strate the completion of eight essential governance transparency requirements, including conducting ethics training for all board members, properly conducting open and public meetings, and filing financial transactions and compensation reports to the State Controller in a timely manner. The Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District also fulfilled fifteen website requirements, including providing readily available information to the public, such as board agendas, past minutes, current District budget, and the most recent financial audit. Finally, the District must demonstrate outreach to its constituents that engages the public in its governance, through a regular District newsletter and special community engagement project.
The County of Santa Clara is seeking community feedback by September 30 on a proposed stewardship plan for a program to safely dispose of unwanted over-the-counter and prescription drugs in Santa Clara County. The County’s Safe Drug Disposal Ordinance requires pharmaceutical companies that have profited from drugs sold in Santa Clara County to implement and fund a new comprehensive program to collect and dispose of County residents’ unwanted and expired medications. The County is asking the public to help evaluate the plan, available at www.sccsafemeds.org, and provide comments to sccsafemeds@cep.sccgov.org The County is currently reviewing the proposed product stewardship plan from the Santa Clara County MED-Project, Stewardship Organization established by the Pharmaceutical Product Stewardship Work Group which is a group of pharmaceutical producers. Since 2008, the County has operated a pharmaceutical drop-off program and collected and disposed of approximately 35,000 pounds of medication from county residents each year. The new ordinance draws on the concept of extended producer responsibility (EPR). Like other EPR laws, the ordinance requires manufacturers of products too hazardous to be disposed of through the municipal waste stream – in this case, pharmaceuticals – to take financial and logistical responsibility for their safe disposal. Once a plan is approved later this year, additional drop-off locations are expected to be available in January 2017. Currently, there are approximately 30 drop-off disposal locations in Santa Clara County. For more information, visit https://www.sccgov.org

A fine mess Although there is much gnashing of governmental teeth about the problem, there seems to be no end to increases and a rapid squeeze on low and middle income (if there is such a thing these days) workers. Even the definition of qualifying incomes has climbed to six figures.
WILLIAM MARSHAK
T
hose who remember Laurel and Hardy films will remember a famous catchphrase by Oliver Hardy that blamed Stan Laurel for misadventures of the duo… “Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into.” An often used misquote, “Well, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into,” accurately defines the housing conundrum of our area. As high tech companies have grown, requiring more worker bees at intermittent employment and relatively low wages, so do support industries and services for the multitude of residents flocking to the area. Combine this with foreign cash flooding the housing market and you find a recipe for disaster. Even the Great Recession was only a momentary pause for higher and higher pricing of ownership and rentals.
Now, with many sharing homes, apartments, rooms and even sleeping spaces, what are called affordable rents and homes are priced beyond many employed in the service sector. Fleeing high housing prices, workers are living miles from their employment and the impact on commutes is monumental.
Fremont City Council has called a special meeting to consider what to do about this. Rent control, practiced in other cities, may be an answer. Unfortunately, while landlords and apartment owners have continued to hike rates, sometimes without regard to reason, it skews the rental landscape and helps some but can retard growth and freeze others from the market. Rent control is an answer that can have a chilling affect on landlords and expansion of the housing market. Also, it does not solve the problem of the many still looking for housing. As the market is squeezed, so are opportunities for new applicants. Arbitration doesn’t seem to work since there are plenty of workers forced to share living spaces and others supported by rental consortiums that cater to foreign workers used to such conditions.
PUBLISHER EDITOR IN CHIEF William Marshak
by Centerville Presbyterian Church to build eight units on land next to the cemetery at Post Street and Bonde Way. Four housing units will be available for their staff at substantially reduced rates. This will allow employees to afford living space near their work. Sale of the other four units will support this effort. More strategies of this sort should be employed by local industries. They should recognize that it is in their best interests to create truly affordable housing for their workers instead of simply letting the market dictate untenable solutions of distant residences and horrendous commutes. These are desperate times for many workers. At the Fremont City Council meeting, it is certain that many who have stood before the council before will again voice heart wrenching stories about their plight. Councilmembers should realize that this is not a future crisis, but one in their midst now. A few “affordable” units here and there will not solve the problem. It is in their interest to create an industry panel that can follow the lead of Centerville Presbyterian Church and take proactive action.
Excessive government control is not in the interests of a market driven economy, but it seems that without, at least some influence, our housing market cannot control its insatiable thirst for skyrocketing pricing. Starter homes at high six figures and rents of thousands of dollars per month are not sustainable. Unless some controls are exerted by either the real estate industry and/or high tech firms, the burden will fall to government. That is a shame and inevitably leads to inefficient policies.

Ruby’s Place recognizes National Domestic Violence Awareness Month SUBMITTED BY VERA R. CIAMMETTI Ruby’s Place, an emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, is bringing awareness to domestic violence during October National Awareness Month. A community message will appear on the back of AC Transit buses in the East Bay, which will feature Ruby’s Place services and crisis information. Ruby’s Place is Alameda County’s first incorporated shelter for survivors of domestic violence, serving all of the Bay Area. Founded in 1972, next year marks their 45th anniversary. There are many events planned for next year including the introduction of a Capital Campaign to re-build the shelter and a gala celebration at San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building.
Domestic violence impacts 32.9 percent of California women and 27.3 percent of California men who experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence and/or intimate partner stalking in their lifetimes. Domestic violence homicides comprise 11.8 percent of all California homicides. As of December 31, 2015, California had submitted 8,245 domestic violence misdemeanor convictions and ten domestic violence protective orders to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Ruby’s Place recently launched a new website and you may find information on how you can be involved and support Ruby’s Place by visiting www.rubysplace.org.

Obituary
William J. Johnson, Jr. August 14, 1925 – September 21, 2016 Resident of Pleasanton
William J. Johnson Jr. was a man of many passions. Those passions came to an end early Wednesday morning, Sept. 21, when he died at the age of 91. He died peacefully in his sleep after undergoing recent surgery. He had been in increasingly failing health for about a month. He died at his home in Pleasanton, Calif. His death came the day after the anniversary of his wife Margaret’s birthday. She preceded him in death in July 2011. Bill was born Aug. 14, 1925, in Fayetteville, N.C., to William J. Sr. and Sophronia (Cooper) Johnson. He grew up being called Jack by his family, but after going away to school, he was always known as Bill. During World War II, he worked at the Marine air base at Cherry Point, N.C. After graduating with a degree in mathematics from Appalachian State College where he played tennis, Bill took a job teaching high school math and science and coaching the girls basketball team at Gatesville High School in Gatesville, N.C.. He met his wife, Margaret, on a blind date. For Bill, it was love at first sight, a love that endured until his death. They married Dec. 1, 1956. He was hired as an engineer with the U.S. Geological Survey. He started as a surveyor in the field, then moved to headquarters in Washington, D.C., before transferring and moving his family to California in 1963. He and Margaret raised four sons and one daughter in their house on Farwell Drive in Fremont, Calif. They lived in a tight-knit neighborhood, establishing lifelong bonds with their neighbors Bill had many passions. He loved his job making maps for the U.S. Geological Survey. In the days before satellite imagery, the maps were drawn by hand by engineers such as Bill. Even after his retirement, Bill would go to the USGS office in Menlo Park to help organize and preserve the old maps. As his children grew up, he and Margaret were active in their lives. Bill coached his sons’ Little League baseball teams and was a leader in Scouts and the school PTA. He and Margaret rarely missed one of their children’s many activities. At least one night a week was spent at the bowling alley as part
of the USGS bowling league. In later years, he would travel around the country on bowling teams and several times bowled in national championships. He loved to golf and played on the Pinehurst, N.C., championship golf course a couple of years ago with his son, Michael. A favorite family memory was Sunday breakfasts where Bill would surprise the family with his own recipes for pancakes -chocolate chips in the pancakes were a favorite, cream corn was not as popular. Mealtime at the Johnson household was always preceded by a family prayer. Thanksgiving dinners were huge affairs, with the extended family and many relatives and close friends. Summers were spent at Lake Tahoe in early years and later at Sun River, Ore., where Bill and Margaret would get matching T-shirts for the grandchildren. The Johnson home was always open to far-flung relatives and friends visiting California. The huge table in the kitchen was often filled with people. Guests were always welcome in the Johnson house. After retirement, Bill established a daily routine, Mass at Holy Spirit Church and a walk around Lake Elizabeth, usually with his camera in hand and a tweed cap on his head. Bill was passionate about photography. In his travels around the country, he would photograph old churches. At family events, he would snap pictures and then rush to the camera store to have prints made of the photos, often before the event was finished. Attending his children’s events was replaced with a passion for attending grandchildren’s school
events after his children grew up and started families of their own. He never lost his Southern charm, although his Southern accent faded a little with the years. He was always the gentleman, holding open doors for women and helping them with their chairs. That charm was especially evident in his love for his wife, whom he cherished through their 54 years of marriage. They moved to The Parkview assisted living facility in Pleasanton in 2009, where he was active in the residents’ association. He rarely missed a bingo game and loved playing bridge. Another of his passions was his Catholic faith. For more than three decades, he was a lector at Sunday Mass at Holy Spirit Church in Fremont and taught Confirmation catechism classes. After moving to Pleasanton, Bill would take the bus to Mass on Sundays. Bill is survived by his children, William James (Bridget) of Anamosa, Iowa, Michael (Laura) of Rocklin, Calif., Brian (Crusita) of Fremont, Calif., and Mary Ann (Bob) DeRenzi of Pleasanton, Calif.; 11 grandchildren, Jenna, Jaclyn and James Johnson, Caitlin (Robert) Armstrong, Meghan and Cooper Johnson, Elizabeth Lawlor, Leah and Jessica Johnson, Melissa and Christopher DeRenzi; two greatgrandchildren, Wesley and Vincent Armstrong; and longtime neighbors and dear friends, Jack and Adeline Gosen. He was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret; a son, Kevin Johnson; his parents; and his sisters, Elizabeth and Lois. Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 13th, from 5-8pm with a Vigil at 6:30pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, October 14th, 11am at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 37588 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Private burial at Chapel of the Chimes Memorial Park in Hayward, CA. Memorial donations may be sent to Sister John Marie’s Pantry, which assists people living in the Tri-City area of Fremont, Newark and Union City. Send donations in care of St. Joseph Church, P.O.

Newark approves innovative HERO PACE program SUBMITTED BY SEVERN WILLIAMS The City Council of Newark has voted to make the HERO Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program available to local residents. HERO PACE financing enables homeowners to make energy - and water-efficiency improvements and pay for them over time through their property tax bill. HERO payments may have tax benefits, and homeowners may see immediate savings on utility bills. Residents of Newark may begin submitting applications to HERO this winter. Homeowners in eight other municipalities within Alameda County currently have access to this innovative financing program, including Oakland, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Hayward, Piedmond and Union City, as well as the County for residents of unincorporated areas. The program is expected to launch in Fremont and San Leandro this winter. HERO has helped fund residential efficiency projects in 77,100 households in California,
totaling $1.83 billion in financing. By stimulating home renovation activity, the HERO Program increases demand for local contractor services. HERO is estimated to have spurred the creation of more than 15,500 jobs in California since beginning in December 2011. Cities and counties benefit through economic stimulus and local job growth while helping their communities reach state-imposed water and energy savings goals. California is currently in its fifth year of drought. Eligible retrofits give homeowners a fast, affordable way to conserve water. HERO has a wide variety of products to help homeowners cut down on water use, including high-efficiency toilets, faucets and showerheads; drip irrigation systems; rainwater catchment systems; gray water systems; and artificial turf and other droughttolerant landscaping. The HERO Program provides crucial new options to homeowners to choose more efficient improvements: PACE finances 100 percent of the home improve-
ment, requiring no upfront cash outlay; the term of the financing is based on the useful life of the product, up to 25 years, lowering the size of monthly payments; and collection is conducted through regular property tax payments. The products installed must meet federal and state efficiency standards, potentially enabling homeowners to lower monthly utility bills and help pay for the cost of the improvement over time. PACE was also designed to help achieve public policy objectives. The $1.83 billion financed through HERO to date are projected to save $3.07 billion on energy bills, conserve 11.7 billion kWh of electricity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3.1 million tons (the equivalent of taking 655,000 SUVs off the road for a year), and save 6.04 billion gallons of water (the equivalent of 193 million showers). HERO has already generated a local economic impact of $3.17 billion in California. For more information please visit www.HeroProgram.com

VTA’s BART Berryessa extension going live as system electrification begins SUBMITTED BY BRANDI CHILDRESS September is National Rail Safety Month and VTA started it off in a BIG way with the electrification of the third rail that will power future BART trains. System testing is underway on VTA’s 10-mile, two-station BART Berryessa Extension. Unlike VTA’s light rail trains that are powered by overhead lines, the BART system consists of two high voltage substations, six traction power substations, and contact rails. The contact rails located alongside the train tracks, known as the third rail, will be powered by 1,000 volts of electricity. High voltage paddles on the underside of the BART trains come in contact with the third rail, feeding the trains the power necessary to run along the track. The BART heavy rail system is completely different from VTA’s light rail system. BART is a closed system with a restricted right of way, as opposed to the open light rail track and platforms that are meant to coexist with pedestrians and vehicles. The 10-mile BART extension is entirely separated from vehicle, bicycle and foot traffic, providing uninterrupted traffic flow and a safe, accessible environment for cyclists and pedestrians. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Silicon Valley Project is a 16-mile extension of the existing BART system to San Jose, Milpitas and Santa Clara, which will be delivered through a phased approach. The first phase, the Berryessa Extension, is a 10-mile, two-station extension, beginning in Fremont south of the future BART Warm Springs Station and
proceeding in the former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through Milpitas, the location of the first station, and then to the Berryessa area of north San Jose, at the second station. VTA continues project development activities for the second 6-mile phase of the project that includes a 5.1 mile-long subway tunnel through downtown San Jose, and ends at grade in Santa Clara near the Caltrain Station. Over the last four years, crews have completed major components of the project including: -Built bridges and 2.5 miles of trenches for BART trains to pass under or over 13 major intersections (fully grade separated!) -Constructed approximately 10 miles of track way, including a 1-mile aerial section -Excavated 700,000 cubic yards of dirt – equal to 58,000 dump trucks -Poured 280,000 cubic yards of concrete – equal to 28,000 concrete trucks With a little over a year left before service begins, some of the remaining activities that are nearing completion on the largest capital project in South Bay history include: -Connecting the infrastructure, track work and systems of the Berryessa Extension to the Warm Springs BART Station -Finalizing the track installation work (total of 20 miles, 10 in each direction) -Completing the installation of traction power cable (22 miles total) and communication cable (over 325 miles total) -Completing the Milpitas and Berryessa BART Station buildings, campus areas and roadways

SUBMITTED BY COURTNEY ROSE After months of expectation, “Truth is Beauty,” Marco Cochrane’s iconic 55-ft. tall Burning Man sculpture, will arrive (in component parts) by flatbed truck on Saturday, October 1 at the nearly completed San Leandro Tech Campus. Westlake Urban, OSIsoft, and the City and residents of San Leandro are celebrating the arrival of Truth is Beauty to the East Bay. Truth is Beauty arrived “feet first” when her foundation—20-ft. tall, steel and mesh feet and calves—was installed last month. The upper portion of the massive sculpture (torso, shoulders, and head) will arrive by flatbed truck and will be greeted by residents, visitors and fans of the artist and his work. The final installation will be completed on October 5. The arrival celebration will include brief remarks by artist Marco Cochrane, San Leandro Mayor Pauline Cutter, and Gaye Quinn and Sunny Tong of Westlake Urban, the developer of the San Leandro Tech Campus. Truth is Beauty serves as an iconic emblem of the transformation that is taking place in San Leandro as a center of technology, innovation, and human potential. Stretching through the fullness of her being, Truth is Beauty expresses a woman who is powerful, safe, and free. The monumental sculpture poses a timely, compelling question: What would the world be like if women were safe? Truth is Beauty invites us to think deeply about how to create environments that are safe, where women are respected and communities can prosper. The first phase of the San Leandro Tech Campus will open in October 2016. The 132,000 sq.-ft. building will

An historical perspective – Part I HISTORY ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY VICTOR CARVELLAS
T
he first twelve million ounces of California’s gold were relatively easy pickings. The next eleven million would be harder. By the mid-1850s all the “easy” gold had been plucked from the rivers around Sutter’s Mill, but it would take another twenty years to get the rest with picks and shovels in the hard rock and the blasting away of entire hillsides with dangerous hydraulics. When the toil and strain became too great, most miners left to seek employment elsewhere. Many returned to San Francisco where the city offered employment, but there were also opportunities to be had;
many of them lay south of the city and east, across the bay. From the 1797 establishment of Mission San Jose onward, the Spanish government encouraged the settlement of Alta California by conferring the large land grants known as ranchos. The grants were government issued, permanent, unencumbered property-ownership rights to land. After Mexico won its independence in 1821, with the withdrawal of Spanish authority, Mexico sought to solidify its grasp on the area by continuing to grant concessions. Owners of the ranchos raised cattle and sheep for hides, tallow, and wool. Rancho boundaries were partially based on geography, such as access to river water. They have become the basis for California’s land survey system, and can still be found on modern maps and land titles.
Lila Bringhurst (In Memoriam) – A former president of the Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce, Bringhurst, who passed away earlier this year, was instrumental in several key historical preservation projects in Fremont, including Mission San Jose and the Saint Joseph Parish rectory. The Village Method – (Non profit of the Year) Focusing on Union City and southern Alameda County, The Village Method creates a community that assists African American students to reach their full potential and creates a pipeline for students to progress to college, into careers and to give back to their community.
To give an example, one of the largest grants was made to Luis Maria Peralta (1758-1851) in recognition of a distinguished 40-year career. The last Spanish governor of California, Pablo Vicente de Solá granted Peralta Rancho San Antonio, about 44,800 acres. That area today embraces most of northern Alameda County today, including San Leandro, Oakland, Alameda, Emeryville, Berkeley and Albany. In 1855, two of the sons Domingo and Vicente Peralta would have to prove their claim to the land in front of a Federal District court. In the wake of California statehood in 1850, title to land became an important issue and the State needed to be sure that claimants to the original land grants held valid title. Families of land grants had to prove their claims. On February 2, 1848, the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded Alta California to the United States. The very next month, Sam Brannan strode the streets of San Francisco crying “Gold! Gold, from the American River!” Up to that time, the excess of local natural resources, though known, had not drawn many settlers. Russian, British, and French visitors had all taken notice, but it would take the Gold Rush to bring large numbers to the area. Of course, the primary destination
Bay Area Electronics Recycling – (Community Partner of the Year) Operating in Union City, Hayward and Milpitas, Bay Area Electronics Recycling restores computers and other electronic items and diverts almost two million pounds of e-waste every month. Aisha Wahab – (Unity Award) An organizer and activist involved in many communities in the Bay Area, Wahab has served as chair of the Alameda County Human Relations Commission, a board member of the Afghan Coalition, co-director of Little Kabul Stories, and attended an Afghan American Leaders Roundtable discussion at the White House.
for most new arrivals was the gold fields, but when fatigue and exposure got the upper hand, enterprising men and women made their way to the fertile lands of, among others, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties (Alameda County did not exist at that time). When settlers came to the area, they usually found themselves on land already owned by the ranchos. A combination of squatting and bargaining for leases, and then sales of land allowed the establishment of towns and cities. Removing clouds from the titles to land subsequently purchased and subdivided remained a constant enterprise for many years. Settlers in the lands surrounding Alameda Creek soon proved the commercial potential of the land. Flour, barley, wheat, potatoes, onions, game, cattle, and wine supplied the increasing demand for commodities as the population of the Bay Area exploded. San Francisco grew from 1,000 residents in 1848 to 25,000 by 1850; the story was similar all along the East Bay. A diverse array of businesses soon arose, and the area became an important hub of commercial enterprise. As of 1853, however, Alameda had yet to be a county, but that was about to change.
Small holdings like the Ramirez farm, formerly at Walnut and Guardino in Fremont, have all but disappeared; still, they connect modern Alameda County to its prodigious agricultural past.

“Morning Out My Window” by Ed Lucey
SUBMITTED BY HARRIETT MCGUIRE The next meeting of the Milpitas Golden Hills Art Association will be Thursday, October 6 and feature an oil demonstration by well-known Bay Area landscape artist Ed Lucey. Lucey had his early education at San Jose State University and later at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He has taught design and drawing part time at Stanford University and San Jose State University, and in Germany on a Fulbright grant. He is currently represented by the Museums Gallery of Los Gatos and the Valley Art Center in Walnut Creek, and is a member of the Oil Painters of America. Lucey has been awarded prizes at the Los Gatos Art Association, Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, Visual Artists Association Summit at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, and the Morning Rotary plein air competition in Los Gatos. His works are in many private and corporate collections. The operator of his own industrial design business for 45 years, which he recently closed, Lucey now paints full time in his studio in Los Gatos where he has lived for many years. He enjoys painting scenes from the Bay Area and surrounding countryside, feeling there is a wealth of subject matter in California. He tries to maintain a painterly approach to his work, showing brushwork and structure of painting, staying faithful to the scene, but adjusting the elements and color for a good composition. He will be explaining some of his techniques in using oil paints to achieve his beautiful soft landscapes. The public is invited to attend the meeting free of charge to meet the artist and view his demonstration, which will begin about 7:45 p.m. For more information about the Golden Hills Art Association, please call (408) 263-8779.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY GENEVA BOSQUES, FREMONT PD Friday, September 16 At 10:46 a.m., Det. Stone was conducting surveillance for chain snatch robberies in the area of Warm Springs and Fernald. While in the area, he spotted a possible suspect and vehicle. The driver started driving erratically and fled the area. Ofc. Ehling found the suspect driving southbound on I-680, and a felony stop was conducted on Scott Creek Road. A 23-year-old adult male, Union City resident, was arrested for robbery and a parole violation. He was identified by one of the recent gold chain robbery snatch victims and was on parole for robbery. At approximately 5:00 a.m., officers responded to Sprint at Fremont Hub for commercial burglary. The alarm company called advising that a male wearing a black and gray hoodie and black and red gloves entered the store and took merchandise. The suspect made entry through the front door after drilling out the lock. Case was investigated by Ofc. Rodriguez. Saturday, September 17 Ofc. Ehling located a 19-yearold adult male asleep inside a stolen vehicle that was parked at a hotel of Farwell Place. Suspected stolen property from various victims was also recovered from the vehicle. Ofc. Ehling arrested the male for auto theft, receiving stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, a vandalism warrant, and a probation violation.
dered that results directly in sustaining human life. In March of 2016, the award recipient was with her father, mother and 3 year old brother when they were confronted by a male who was attempting to rob them in an area that the family was unfamiliar with. During the incident, her father was shot by the suspect during the botched robbery. She remained calm and collected during the incident and was able to retrieve her mother’s cell phone to call 911. She was able to clearly articulate to the 911 operator where she was and her father’s condition while tending to her 3 year old brother. If not for recipient’s calm demeanor
and decisive actions, her father may have not been quickly located by emergency medical personnel and received the medical attention he needed. Her father has fully recovered from his injuries and the suspect involved in the incident was identified and arrested for numerous violent felony charges.
At approximately 6:30 p.m., a homeowner on Amiens Avenue returned to his residence to find suspect(s) had attempted to enter his house via his back glass slider but never made it through the second pane of glass. The attempt occurred between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Case was investigated by Ofc. Manrique. Sunday, September 18 A male was robbed of his phone, wallet, and necklace on Farallon Common. The suspect was described as a heavy-set Hispanic male adult armed with a black handgun. The victim’s credit card was used shortly after. Monday, September 19 Officers investigated a commercial burglary on the 47000 block of Fremont Boulevard. Suspect(s) entered the building between 3:00 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. and stole 200 spools of copper wire, which was valued at $16,000. Case was investigated by Field Training Officer (FTO) B. Aguirre and Community Service Officer (CSO) Sturm. Tuesday, September 20 Officers investigated an auto burglary on the 40000 block of Marietta Drive. A victim called to report that he just saw two males break into his car. Dispatch broadcasted the suspect’s description as officers were responding. Sgt. O’Connell set a perimeter and several citizens came forward and told officers where the suspects were last seen. Officers converged in the area and located both suspects. The suspects were identified by the victim. Arrested were a 21-year-old adult male and a 22-year-old adult male, both San Jose residents. Case was investigated by Ofc. Butcher. At 12:15 p.m. Fremont PD was called to one of our local hospitals regarding a male patient
suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers were immediately dispatched to the hospital and then traveled with the male to a trauma center. Patrol officers subsequently responded to a house of interest on the 2800 block of Sanderling Drive (later determined to be where the crime occurred) as part of this investigation. The Investigative Unit assumed control of the case and rapidly began following up on leads. At approximately 3:00 p.m., a 19-year-old suspect was taken into custody at his residence in Newark and booked on one count of attempted homicide. Officers learned the suspect shot the 22-year-old male victim during an argument in the garage of the residence. The victim was released from the hospital the same day. Sgt. Crandall supervised the scene on Sanderling Drive and Sgt. Koepf supervised the scene at the hospital. Wednesday, September 21 Two citizens were involved in a traffic collision in the area of Fremont Boulevard and Peralta Boulevard. As they were exchanging information, an unknown female transient passed by and began yelling at one of the drivers. The female continued yelling at the driver and pulled out a large knife. The drivers then retreated to their cars. The female began stabbing at the car with the knife, while the citizen called 911. Officers responded and when the female heard the responding officers’ sirens, she fled the area and entered a nearby bar and hid in the restroom. Officers checked the area and located the female hiding. She resisted arrest and a Taser was deployed to assist with taking her into custody. The knife was recovered as evidence by the officers.

Hayward PD vehicle stolen; recovered after chase SUBMITTED BY SGT. RYAN CANTRELL, HAYWARD PD On September 22, at 9:39 p.m., Hayward Police Department (HPD) officers were investigating an injury vehicle collision on Oaks Drive and Roxbury Ave. One of the parties involved in the collision was seeking medical attention from the Hayward Fire Department when he suddenly got up and ran over to a Hayward PD patrol vehicle, got in it and drove off at a high rate of speed out of the area. The patrol vehicle had been parked on the roadway with emergency lights on to direct on-coming traffic around the collision scene. A broadcast of the vehicle being stolen was immediately relayed to other law enforcement
units and the stolen patrol vehicle was observed by HPD officers driving through the intersection of Jackson Street and Santa Clara Ave at a high rate of speed. Officers then initiated a pursuit on the stolen vehicle as it was heading eastbound on Hwy 92. A short time later, the stolen vehicle was involved in a multi-car collision near the Clawiter Road exit where the suspect’s vehicle rolled over and into a ravine. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. He was later medically cleared and booked at the Hayward City Jail on the charges of motor vehicle theft (10851 VC), evading (2800.2 VC), theft (484 PC), non-injury hit and run vehicle collision (20002 VC) and injury hit and run vehicle collision (20001 VC).
The suspect was identified as Jeffery Chambers, a 28-year-old white male from Hayward. Chambers sustained only minor injuries and was scheduled to appear in court on the listed charges. The California Highway Patrol investigated the collision that occurred on Hwy 92.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Police announce arrest of suspect in July 28 kidnapping SUBMITTED BY LT. ROBERT MCMANUS, SAN LEANDRO PD On September 21, the San Leandro Police Department announced that the suspect responsible for the attempted kidnapping of a woman on the morning of July 28 is now in police custody. Police began their nearly twomonth long investigation, after a woman, walking in the 14700 block of Washington Ave. was approached by a stranger, sprayed in the face with a chemical believed to be pepper spray, and dragged into the suspect’s silver, Nissan Sentra, parked nearby. A man, who has been regarded as a “hero,” saw the attack and stopped to help the woman in distress. The suspect immediately sprayed the Good Samaritan in the face too, preventing him from intervening immediately. The woman was able to escape to safety, and the suspect fled in his vehicle. Police obtained surveillance video from the incident, which was later released to the public through the media. After more than 2 weeks, police still did not have any viable leads, so investigators asked the media for assistance to share the story again. This time, police included images similar to the suspect’s Nissan Sentra with tinted windows, and included a photo of similar aftermarket wheels matching those seen on the suspect’s Nissan in the original surveillance video. On the evening of August 16, the story was re-aired on Bay Area news networks, with police hoping that it would produce leads. The following morning, an East Oakland business called SLPD investigators to report seeing what they believed was the same car shown on the news broadcasts parked in a commercial area off of Hegenberger Rd., between I-880 and the Oakland Airport. Investigators inspected the car, discovering that it was registered to a 43 year old resident from Orange County, CA, whose photo closely matched that of the composite sketch of the alleged kidnapper. Police learned that the car had been abandoned in the neighborhood for a few weeks. Police later learned that the owner of the Nissan, now a suspect in their investigation, had
fled California on an airline believed to have left the Oakland International Airport, hours after the July 28 attack. Less than two weeks ago, detectives met with the Alameda County District Attorney, seeking an arrest warrant for the suspect alleged to have committed the crime. After a thorough review of the case, the District Attorney filed criminal charges, including kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and carjacking, with a bail amount totaling $595,000. Detectives tracked the suspect out of state, where members of his family lived. They contacted the FBI and US Marshals Office, who provided support and resources, while San Leandro Police furthered their investigation. Early last week, a US Marshals Fugitive Apprehension team took the suspect into custody without incident. San Leandro detectives met with the US Marshalls and the local police department and discussed the case. A search warrant of the suspect’s out of state residence turned up evidence linking the man to the San Leandro kidnapping. A subsequent search warrant was served at his Orange County home last week, where additional evidence was recovered. The suspect, who police are not identifying or releasing his photograph yet, due to the continuing investigation, are confident that the suspect is the one responsible for the July 28 crime. “Today, the East Bay is a safer place, because of the efforts of the Good Samaritan, the assistance of the news media, the tip from the East Oakland business, and the commitment and dedication of the detectives who investigated this case,” stated Lt.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
HARD bond measure F1 and animal welfare The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD) is sponsoring Measure F1 on the November 8 ballot for voters in Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, and the unincorporated areas of Ashland, Cherryland and Fairview. Measure F1 would approve a $250 million bond measure to upgrade aging facilities and develop new recreation areas in the District, costing property owners an estimated $29.95 per $100,000 assessed value. The measure requires a two-thirds majority vote.
Relatedly, HARD has received 300+ letters in support of an improved animal welfare policy at the District’s annual Rowell Ranch Rodeo in Castro Valley, urging a permanent ban on two especially abusive events: wild cow milking (in which a cow died at the 2014 rodeo), and the children’s (ages 4-7) mutton busting event, dangerous and stressful for all concerned. (New Zealand has banned mutton busting on the recommendation of the NZ Veterinary Association). If HARD were to adopt the proposed humane changes before
the November 8 election, I’m betting that many people would be more inclined to vote in favor of Measure F1: a win/win for all. Time to “cowboy up”!

Milpitas residents rally against landfill expansion SUBMITTED BY SHARAT G. LIN AND CHARLOTTE CASEY PHOTO BY SHARAT G. LIN Anyone who drives on Freeway I-880 through Milpitas is frequently assaulted by foul odors that vary in intensity with the time of day, wind and humidity. But Milpitas residents face these smells every day in and around their homes and schools, and when they go about their daily errands. The source of the unpleasant smells is the Newby Island Landfill operated by Republic Services. The winds blowing through the Golden Gate move in a southeasterly direction over the TriCities Landfill, then the larger Newby Island Landfill, and finally through central Milpitas. On Sunday morning, September 18, some 200 Milpitas residents said, “Enough is enough,” and “Dump the dump.” They marched along Dixon Landing Road from Milpitas Boulevard to the entrance of the Newby Island Landfill. While Milpitas residents have been upset with the foul odors for decades, they had become particularly alarmed by Republic
Services’ proposal to extend the lifetime of the landfill and composting facility from 2025 to 2041 by raising the height limit from 150 feet to 245 feet. The City of Milpitas has appealed to the San Jose Planning Commission to reconsider the planned expansion. Newby Island lies within San Jose city limits. Milpitas residents, many of whom had never before engaged in a protest march, had been pressuring the Milpitas City Council to take action in an attempt to block the landfill expansion. The Newby Island Landfill, operated by Republic Services, is currently reaching its maximum capacity, but unlike more than 44 landfill operations around the San Francisco Bay that were closed when they reached their
maximum capacity, Republic is requesting approval for an expansion that would increase capacity by 15 million cubic yards. Newby Island is the largest and one of the last remaining landfills around the San Francisco Bay. According to data from a state government organization, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, on odor complaints, Newby has received 10 public nuisance tickets, 17 notices of violation, and over 7,000 odor complaints in two years. Because of the push from SVFBC (Silicon Valley Foundation for Better Community), San Francisco Water Board listed 1,4-dioxane as the new item to be tested. From test results for 2015, the SF Water Board found that groundwater contamination is already
occurring and is bound to worsen. It hopes to convince the San Jose Planning Commission and City Council that new evidence of ground water contamination and an overwhelming number of odor complaints show that a new Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be required. Milpitas residents have complained that the landfill operations not only produce a foul smell but also pollute the air and contribute to airborne particulates with unknown health consequences. They support a new EIR, one that they expect will confirm their complaints of hazards to livelihood, health and environment. Milpitas homeowners are also distressed that the incessant odors depress the resale value of homes.
Jennifer Strohfus, Arzhang Kalbali and other Milpitas residents organizing with SVFBC have been fighting to halt the Newby Landfill expansion for almost two years. Some protesters are demanding, “No expansion, no exception.” Arzhang Kalbali says that SVFBC is advocating a ban on all landfills located in urban areas. Jennifer Strohfus points out that we should all be consuming less and creating less garbage, to approach zero waste. Originally opened in the 1930s, the Newby Island Landfill was once surrounded by vacant land and open fields. Now it is rapidly becoming surrounded by urban development in Milpitas, Fremont, and San Jose.
