Learn About Cardiovascular Health at Local Health Expo Washington Township Cardiologist Answers Your Questions at Four Seasons of Health Expo on May 12
C
ommunity members have the opportunity to meet Catherine Dao, MD, a noninvasive cardiologist with Washington Township Medical Foundation (WTMF). Dr. Dao will be available to meet with attendees and answer questions about cardiovascular health at the 8th annual Four Seasons of Health Expo on Friday, May 12. Dr. Dao and other volunteers from Washington Hospital and WTMF will provide free blood pressure screenings in addition to answering questions about heart health issues. The Expo is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fremont Senior Center in Central Park, 40086 Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. The Four Seasons of Health Expo is primarily intended for adults over age 50, as well as U.S. military veterans, along with their families and caregivers. Many of the exhibitors also serve younger families, however, so all ages are welcome to attend. There is no need to register for the free event. Food will be available for
purchase at the Fremont Senior Center. The event is sponsored by the City of Fremont Human Services Department and the Tri-City Elder Coalition. Dr. Dao believes adopting a healthy lifestyle is key to managing cardiovascular disease. “You can help improve your cardiovascular health by exercising regularly, eating a ‘heart-healthy’ diet, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, reducing sodium intake, and losing weight,” she explains. “Other common health conditions that contribute to cardiovascular disease – such as diabetes – also can often be managed with lifestyle modifications.” Dr. Dao also encourages people to “know their numbers” that relate to heart disease risk, including cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and blood sugar levels, since diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. Cholesterol is measured in levels of milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). In general,
total cholesterol should ideally be less than 200 mg/dL. Total cholesterol includes LDL (the “bad cholesterol”), HDL (the “good cholesterol) and 20 percent of triglycerides (another type of fat in the blood). The optimal guideline level of LDL cholesterol is less than 100 mg/dL. For HDL, the recommendation is a level greater than 45/ mg/dL, and the higher the better. “High levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, along with a low level of HDL, can increase heart disease risk,” says Dr. Dao. “A high level of triglycerides combined with low HDL cholesterol or high LDL cholesterol also is associated with cardiovascular disease. Cardiologists might prescribe medications to control high cholesterol when lifestyle changes don’t provide adequate control.” Cardiologists also may consider a variety of medications to control high blood pressure that persists despite lifestyle changes. Blood pressure is generally recorded as two numbers. The
Community members can ask Dr. Catherine Dao cardiovascular questions at May 12 health expo.
top number measures the systolic pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts. The lower number measures diastolic pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes. The American Heart Association defines “healthy” blood pressure as 120/80 or less. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, generally is defined as 140/90 or higher. “About one-third of Americans have high blood
pressure, and millions of them do not realize that they have it,” says Dr. Dao. “High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms, so it sometimes is called a ‘silent killer.’ People who are overweight, with a BMI over 25, are especially at risk for high blood pressure.

Signs of a Stroke? Call 911 Now Delays Can Be Devastating If you are with a friend or family member and suddenly his or her face looks strange, perhaps the smile seems crooked or speech is slurred, what do you do? Is your friend having a stroke? Don’t spend time trying to figure it out; instead, call 911 immediately. The elapsed time between a stroke onset and medical treatment can be the deciding factor in the degree of damage and the speed of recovery, according to Dr. Ash Jain, cardiologist and medical co-director of Washington’s Vascular Services Program, which includes stroke care. Treatment must begin within a few short minutes from the onset of a stroke, Dr. Jain advises. Brain damage occurs quickly; a person suffering a large stroke loses 2 million brain cells every minute, according to the American Stroke Association.
“It is important to know as much as possible about strokes since a stroke can occur without warning.” Dr. Jain explains. “This is why the information in these seminars is so important. If a stroke should happen, you’ll know what to do,” he adds. Stroke Nurse Melissa Reyes, RN, will discuss, “Living with Stroke: The Future in Diagnosis and Management” at a free, two-hour community education program from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 6. The public is encouraged to attend. Because time is critical in mitigating damage from a stroke, members of the Washington Township area are fortunate to have a certified Primary Stroke Center with cutting-edge care, such as Washington Hospital. “Our primary goal is to treat a stroke as quickly as possible once a patient reaches our emergency department,”
Don’t delay. Call for help if you think someone may be having a stroke. Free seminar on stroke awareness at Washington West, 2500 Mowry Ave. in Fremont.
Dr. Jain says. “Even small delays can have heavy costs. Research has shown that outcomes are better when an individual can properly identify signs of a stroke and then seek help immediately. Knowing when the symptoms started is crucial in deciding how
While you shouldn’t delay calling 911 if you suspect a stroke in a friend or family member — or yourself, here are some signs of a stroke you can watch for: Remember them by thinking FAST. Facial weakness — sometimes an asymmetrical smile or droop.
aggressively we manage the stroke." The degree of the patient’s disability is determined by how big the stroke is and what part of the brain is affected. Disability is defined as difficulty speaking and communicating, difficulty using one’s arms
or legs due to paralysis, blindness, and/or difficulty swallowing. Stroke survivors often lose their independence and ability to live the same life they lived before a stroke. Patients have to undergo extensive lifestyle modification. “Participation in an ongoing rehabilitation program, under the direction of specialized therapists, offers stroke patients some measure of improvement,” says Melissa Reyes, RN. “Stroke patients and their caregivers must take advantage of rehabilitation experts who include physical, occupational and speech therapists. Equally important,” Reyes notes, “Is the will of the stroke survivor to get better.” As seating is limited, advance registration for the free program is recommended. To register or for more information, visit www.whhs.com/events or call (800) 963-7070. Seminars also may be televised on InHealth, a Washington Hospital Television Channel (Comcast Channel 78) and online at inhealth.tv.

Arm weakness — one arm is weak and drifts down when the person is asked to hold his/her arms out. Speech impairment — is the person able to speak? If so, are the words slurred or unclear? Time — it is an emergency. Call 911 immediately.

Learn About Cardiovascular Health at Local Health Expo Washington Township Cardiologist Answers Your Questions at Four Seasons of Health Expo on May 12 with a waist measurement greater than 40 inches are at an additional increased risk.” To determine your risk for diabetes or to diagnose diabetes, which can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease, the American Diabetes Association recommends regular testing of your blood glucose levels. Most physicians consider the A1C test as the preferred method of blood glucose testing because it measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months and does not require fasting. Diabetes is diagnosed with an A1C of 6.5 percent or higher. An A1C level of 5.7 to 6.4 percent is considered prediabetes, and less than 5.7 percent is considered normal. “We want people to be aware of their risk factors for diabetes – including their family history of the disease – and to be
seen by their doctors sooner, rather than later,” Dr. Dao says. “It’s important to catch diabetes and manage it before you develop serious complications such as cardiovascular disease.” The Senior Center is served by AC Transit Lines 239 and 215. Overflow parking and shuttle service to the Expo is available at the Teen Center and Waterpark parking lots. For more information, email FourSeasonsExpo@comcast.net or call Linette Young at (510) 917-3241 or Raymond Grimm, PhD, at (510) 574-2063. Dr. Dao’s clinical practice is located at 2287 Mowry Ave. in Fremont.

Entertainment will feature Ariel Dance of Campbell with several eclectic and fusion performances, including a theatrical jazz piece inspired by the movie “La La Land,” a Latin cabaret jazz number, a story told through ballet, and a dance number fusing jazz and hip-hop. Of course, no event by the Indo-ABC would be complete without a performance of Indian classic dance. Abode Services will be honored as the 2017 grant recipient. Abode provides transitional housing and support for families in crisis in our community, as they “leave homelessness behind.” However, a less known problem faces over 300 youth each year in Alameda County as they “age out” of Foster Care when they turn 18; they are expected to fend for themselves. Project Independence steps in to provide a two-year bridge safety net of housing, personal and career counseling, support for continuing education and assistance to enter the job market. Mr. Louis Chicoine of Abode will
be accepting the 2017 Indo-Americans for Better Community grant for this very worthwhile purpose. Join the fun at the Indo-ABC Charity Ball, enjoy a wonderful dinner, good company, entertainment, an evening of dancing and conviviality – and come away with the warm feeling that you are “making a difference, one person at a time.” For those unable to attend, but would like to contribute to this worthwhile cause or learn more about Indo-ABC, please visit http://indoabc.org/charityball/ or call (510) 657-0396.

“The club itself caters mostly to recreational cyclists,” explained FFBC President David Walker, adding, “A typical ride will have a dozen people… It’s always so beautiful to go out and ride. You appreciate the countryside in a different way, you can enjoy the scenery. It’s a meditative activity (and) there’s so many places to ride here.” Many members join FFBC for long-distance cycling or to train for a cycling event. “A popular ride is the Cinderella Classic and Challenge,” Walker said of the female-only ride. The club hosts a Cinderella training ride series, which comes in two phases: beginners (an academic course for newcomers or people returning to cycling) and conditioning (for current cyclists). FFBC’s biggest event each year is undoubtedly the Primavera Century, a tour that winds through the local area and consists of four tracks: 100 miles, 85 miles, 100 kilometers, and 25 miles. Unfortunately, it was canceled this year due to the road closures from the severe weather in recent months. Funds raised through the Primavera ride keeps the club going and are also donated to local causes. “We donate to charities like God Karma Bikes, Adobe, and Bay Area Recreation Program,” Walker said. Two of the club’s more popular ride series are the Less Aggressive Progressive and Progressive. “The Progressive ride series is preparation for 100-mile rides,” Walker said, while the Less Aggressive Progressive is
exactly how it sounds: a less challenging ride to get cyclists who aren’t quite ready to tackle 100 miles. All training programs start in January, and rides typically begin in the spring and continue through the summer, from around April to June or July. “Usually by October, they’ve pretty much wound down,” Walker noted. Though the weather halted the Primavera this year, the Freewheelers haven’t let the weather slow them down too much. They host rides virtually every day of the week, usually on local routes that start in the morning and are done by the afternoon. “It’s a social club. First and foremost, it’s about riding our bikes. The thing that brings us all together is getting out and riding,” Walker said. The club has one popular monthly ride that starts in Niles, traces along Calaveras Road, weaves through the canyon and up past Sunol, by the reservoir. When there aren’t preplanned official rides, members will often craft their own routes and lead one themselves. Once summer hits, the Freewheelers stage pizza rides, where they will meet at a local pizzeria, go for a 15- to 20-mile ride, then meet back at the pizzeria and enjoy a meal together – a perfect way to spend a nice summer day in the Bay Area. Though there are always a few transitory members that pop in and out of the club, Walker counts a number of cyclists still in from when he first joined a decade ago. “We’re kind of a

smaller club, the median age is the mid-40s,” he said. What keeps people coming back is the pure joy of the cycling. “I’ve always just enjoyed riding my bike. There are racers that are really into the competitive aspect, some who enjoy the social aspects, some who like to go out by themselves and ride, long distance riders, and commuter riders,” he explained, continuing, “It’s hard to stick with anything if you don’t love it… (and) people really love it. Some might love the camaraderie or the exercise.” The FFBC’s mission is to bring together cyclists of all types and promote bicycling education and culture. With a majority of its members from Newark, Fremont, and Union City, the FFBC offers individual and family rates for year-long memberships. Individual memberships cost $20, family memberships are $26 and come with a subscription to the club’s monthly newsletter, access to the FFBC’s online community, and of course, fellowship on the rides. With the weather starting to take a turn for the better, now is the perfect time to get out there and start pedaling.

significantly reducing the ranks of the uninsured in California. “A single-payer system would make the quality of our health care worse, not better,’’ California Association of Health Plans President and CEO Charles Bacchi said in a statement when details of the bill were announced. “We’ve made substantial progress in expanding and increasing access to and quality of care - this step backwards would be particularly devastating for Californians.’’ The idea faces significant hurdles. The legislation, SB562, would impact everyone — not just the roughly 8 percent of Californians who lack insurance — including people on Medicare and private, employer-sponsored insurance — plans that are generally well-liked by the people who have them. Replacing billions of dollars in health care spending by employers and individuals would require significant tax increases, which must have support from two-thirds of the Assembly and Senate. And even if it were to clear the Legislature and be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would require cooperation from Trump’s administration to waive rules about federal Medicare and Medicaid dollars.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), California lawmakers are considering an audacious proposal that would substantially remake the state’s health care system by eliminating insurance companies and guaranteeing coverage for everyone. The idea known as singlepayer health care has long been popular on the left. It’s gaining traction with liberals as President Donald Trump struggles with his efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The proposal, promoted by the state’s powerful nursing union and two Democratic senators, is a longshot. But the supporters hope the time is right to persuade lawmakers in California, where Democrats have long been willing to push the boundaries of liberal public policy and are now particularly eager to stand up to the Republican president. “We have the chance to make universal health care a reality now,’’ Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, said last month. “It’s time to talk about how we get to health care for all that covers more and costs less.’’ The measure would guarantee health coverage with no out-of-pocket costs for all residents of California, including
people living in the country illegally. Private insurers would be barred from covering the same services, essentially eliminating them from the marketplace. Instead, a new state agency would contract with health care providers such as doctors and hospitals and pay the bills for everyone. However, an essential question is still unanswered: Where will the money come from? California health care expenditures last year totaled more than $367 billion, according to the University of California, Los Angeles Center for Health Policy Research. The bill envisions using all the money now spent on health care — from Medicare, Medicaid, federal public health funds, and Affordable Care Act subsidies. But it would also require tax increases on businesses, individuals or both. Lara, who wrote the bill with Democratic Sen. Toni Atkins of San Diego, says they’re working on details. Employers, business groups and health plans have mobilized in opposition to the proposal, warning that it would require massive tax increases while forcing patients to wait a long time to see a doctor. They say the state should stay focused on implementing President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which is credited with

The official opening of John’s Incredible Pizza Co. at NewPark Mall in Newark on April 26th brought out a crowd of Newark officials and dignitaries. Owner/Founder John Parlet appeared with mascot IncrediBear and was welcomed by Newark Mayor Alan Nagy, City officials, Chamber of Commerce CEO Valerie Boyle, members of the business community and representatives of State officials. John’s Incredible Pizza Company’s management team spoke of their enthusiasm for the new Newark business. John then presented a check to Kelsy Cunningham of UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network, the result of the company’s philanthropic efforts. The Reed family represented those who have benefited from these organizations. And then it was time for the ribbon cutting and a visit to John’s world of fun including an “incredible” buffet, bumper cars and other rides and arcade games.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Osgood Road Corridor to Get Bigger and Busier Take an already busy commute route, line it with rows of high-rise housing on one end, drop a two-story private school in the middle of an industrial area on the other end, and throw in a BART station that has no firm construction date. That’s the plan for the Osgood Road Corridor. High Density Plus All the land within a one-half mile radius of the proposed Irvington BART station at the southwest corner of Osgood Road and Washington Boulevard is part of the BART Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay, which allows high-rise, high-density housing. The only exception is an irregular-shaped area along the north end of Osgood, which is designated as the Irvington BART Station Study Area and cannot be developed until the
station’s land needs for parking, access, and support structures are determined. In the meantime, several projects on other parts of Osgood are moving forward. Serra Apartments includes 179 apartments in a six-story complex at 4200 Osgood Road on the east side. The apartments will be rented at various levels of affordability based on several factors. This project was recently approved by the Planning Commission and does not need City Council approval. Construction has not started. Osgood Residences includes 93 condominiums in a five-story building at 42111 and 42183 Osgood Road on the west side. This project was approved by the Planning Commission and does not need City Council approval. Construction has not started. Next door, Osgood II Multi-Family proposes 140 units (70 apartments and 70 condo-
miniums) in a five-story building at 42021 Osgood Road. This project is still going through a Preliminary Review Process with the Planning Department and has not become a Formal Application yet. A proposal to build 31 condominiums in a five-level building at 41868 Osgood Road on the east side is within the BART Station Study Area and is on hold. New housing developments aren’t the only projects planned on Osgood. Further south, Stratford School recently announced plans to relocate from their current site and build a new private school for up to 660 students at 43055 and 43077 Osgood Road on the west side, between Blacow Road and Auto Mall Parkway. The area is designated industrial, but schools are allowed. The project was approved by the Zoning Administrator and does not need further approval. Construction is

expected to start this summer. Issues and Concerns The Osgood Road Corridor is a major commute route, so traffic is one of the biggest concerns. When the TOD area south of the Irvington BART station is fully built out, there could be as many as 3,000 to 4,000 additional people living there and traveling on Osgood to and from schools, jobs, and other destinations. Because there are no side street connections along this section of road, all traffic will have to go north to Washington Boulevard or south to Auto Mall Parkway, which are already congested. One solution would be to reactivate the Blacow Road underpass or overpass project. This idea got as far as building four-lane approach roads on either side of the Union Pacific and BART right-of-ways, but was never completed. Another concern about building so many residential units along the Osgood Corridor is the
Trump’s constant tweeting isn’t lifting Twitter’s profit BY BARBARA ORTUTAY AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER NEW YORK (AP), You’d think Twitter would be able to milk its status as President Donald Trump’s megaphone. But the company still faces stagnant user growth, has never made a profit and may even report a quarterly revenue decline Wednesday, a first since going public. Trump’s frequent tweets ricochet well beyond his 28 million Twitter followers. Anything he tweets can serve as fodder for social media, TV news shows and, often, latenight comedy. Analysts say Twitter’s user engagement — how often people respond, retweet or “like,’’ for instance — likely benefited from “political discourse’’ in the first quarter. The problem: The people already on Twitter may well be using it more, but America’s first true ``Twitter President’’ hasn’t inspired others to sign up for Twitter en masse. Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities, was expecting ``minimal’’ user growth, consistent with recent quarters ahead of the release of Twitter’s quarterly financial report last week. At the end of 2016, Twitter had just 319 million monthly users. By contrast, Facebook had 1.89 billion and Facebook-owned
Instagram had 600 million. More users, of course, mean more advertising revenue for the companies, since businesses try to reach as many eyeballs as possible. Twitter has never turned a profit, and for the first time since going public in 2013, it is expected to report a decline in revenue from the previous year. In the first three months of 2016, the San Francisco-based company posted revenue of nearly $595 billion. With its slogan “it’s what’s happening,’’ Twitter has been trying to corner the market for real-time information, to be a place where people can go to find out what’s going on in the world and talk about it with friends and strangers. And it’s not just politics, but also sports events like the March Madness college basketball tournament or World Cup soccer, not to mention the stuff seemingly made for Twitter, such as the outrage over the dragging of a paying United passenger off a full flight to make room for crew. Video was shared widely on Twitter, as were jokes and anger toward the airline. As with Facebook, Twitter also has been pushing live video — whether on its main service or through its Periscope app — to keep users interested and engaged.
This includes both user-generated content and live-streaming deals. Sports events are especially lucrative. That’s why the recent loss of an NFL deal to Amazon was an especially hard blow to Twitter. Twitter streamed 10 Thursday Night Football games last year and had counted on them to lure in users and keep existing ones entertained. In its quarterly letter to investors in February, the company called the games “the major highlight of the fourth quarter’’ when it comes to live sports. Amazon appears to have simply outbid Twitter. The Associated Press and other news outlets reported that Amazon’s one-year deal for the 2017 season is worth close to $50 million, about five times what Twitter paid for the right to stream the games last year. Stifel analyst Scott Devitt said that while the NFL deal likely contributed about 1 percent of Twitter’s 2016 revenue, it “seemed to be an important pillar of Twitter’s Live strategy.’’ And in the wake of such setbacks, competition is growing. Besides Facebook and Instagram, Twitter is also vying for advertising revenue from Snap Inc., the owner of Snapchat. Snap recently had completed its initial public offering and will report earnings in May.

lack of access to public schools and retail stores. The nearest schools are too far to walk, and many are already full. Most children, including those attending the new private school, will have to be driven to and from school, thus adding more traffic on Osgood. Likewise, the nearest grocery stores and other retail shops are at least a half-mile away in downtown Irvington. Proximity to schools and stores are supposed to be requirements of a TOD Area in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle trips, but that’s not the case here. As more projects are proposed along the Osgood Road Corridor, the public has an opportunity to speak out. All residents are encouraged to express their concerns.

Tri-City Stargazer FOR WEEK: MAY 3 - MAY 9 For All Signs: This week the cosmic agenda has calmed, so I have decided to write about the significant activity in this overall month. It will help you plan better than the shorter range week-to-week forecasts. In the next column I will return to the usual format for each sign. A big piece of cosmic news is that Mercury is stationary direct on May 3, 2017. The truth of the matter is that the period lasts an additional 2.5 weeks after the stationary date because the process of returning to normal speed requires additional time. Mercury's retrograde purpose symbolizes the need to slow down, think and rethink everything, before proceeding with plans. It is ideal for those who meditate and who are working on self-study. It is not favorable for moving forward with new plans because we will inevitably find something in error as we proceed. The next 2.5 weeks of acceleration offer us the opportunity to regroup and make needed adjustments. The real finale of this Mercury retrograde occurs on May 20, 2017. It will become increasingly easy to arrive at conclusions and make decisions once the initial retrograding point has been crossed. If it were graphed, it would resemble the breakout point on a given stock at the NYSE. Many planets in the cosmos are conflicting with the others. That is the hallmark of this decade. War in the solar system represents opposition and intransigence on earth. We begin a two-week period now that favors moving forward and finding solutions to issues. It isn’t exactly “peace on earth”, but this period may ease some tensions and open the door to communications among those who are in conflict. This is true in the big picture as well as for individuals.
Saturn is moving into a favorable position with Uranus. The exact date is May 19, 2017. The energy began early this year, but with all the noise in the solar system, its meaning has been blurred beyond consciousness. Saturn rules the old, the traditional and the status quo. Uranus points at the new, the updated, the fresh idea or technology. When they meet in a favorable aspect, it is a good time to integrate the new and the old into an improved system. The aspect favors ordered, disciplined and gradual change rather than overthrow or rebellion. This is the month the two systems may find a workable blend. I frequently need to choose a date for personal clients that favors whatever they are wanting to do. It just makes things work more smoothly. This has been nearly impossible to find since winter. However, I’ve recognized four specific dates in May that would be good for almost anything: buying and selling, medical treatments, putting a house or car on the market, to name only a few. The dates are May 9 and 10 and again on May 17 and 18, 2017. Mark them on your calendar for the month!

The festival was inspired by the need to create original material to engage college students and audiences, and to reconnect this demographic with live theatre. For this year’s festival, the playwrights were invited to write directly for the student actors and directors in the class. They were sent videos of their actors being interviewed by the directors, along with several themes students were interested in. The playwrights then had a month to write their plays with these student actors and themes in mind. Receiving rave reviews from Ohlone students and local audiences, the festival has sold out the last two years. Michael Navarra, the executive producer of the festival and Ohlone
College faculty member, commented on this success. “We started this festival to promote and cultivate new plays that will engage and speak directly to a younger audience. It’s great to see a strong interest in this endeavor.” Selected plays are: • “A World of Difference” by Jordan Ramirez Puckett • “How We Got Choked/Perspectives on Hate” by Grace Hoffman

• “Slings and Arrows” by Peter Tamaribuchi
• “Bored Games” by Mercedes Segesvary

ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL O’DONNELL Civil engineers and landscape architects often design large-scale structures that are functional but lack artistic value. Roadside retaining walls, hillside staircases, small dams, and levies are all common examples of structures that perform specific functions but have minimal visual appeal. However, every now and then, someone designs a structure that is both functional and eye-catching. One way this is done is by building the structures using gabions.
A gabion is a metal mesh cage usually filled with gravel, rocks, or pieces of concrete. It can be used in all of the large-scale landscape applications listed above, as well as many at home. The artistic appeal comes from using one or more gabions instead of mundane concrete, dreary looking pressure-treated wood, or mounded up soil.
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Page 13
The name gabion was created from the Italian word “gabbione,” which means big cage. Early gabions were wooden baskets filled with sand or soil and used by soldiers and militias for protection from cannon and other types of artillery fire. Leonardo da Vinci is said to have created a type of gabion more than 500 years ago that he called Corbeille Leonard (Leonard basket). It was to be used for the foundation of a building. Today, the U.S. military uses a collapsible gabion called a HESCO bastion for fortification and flood control.
Civil engineers and architects use massive gabions for large public and commercial projects to enhance their visual appeal and give them a modern look. Gabions are slowly being incorporated into residential designs for the same aesthetic characteristics. A gabion can bring personality to a home and link a landscape to a style. Any
number of things can be placed in the gabion to accomplish these goals. However, the first thing to take into account when using a gabion in a home garden is its function. A gabion or multiple gabions placed together can provide many different functions in a residential garden or even in the home. They can make intriguing fences, retaining walls, room walls, tables, benches, planters, staircases, fountains, barbeques, and fire pits. Retaining walls and steps for example, will have fewer choices for fill because they require a heavier weight to perform their task. An ornamental fence or fountain, for example, will provide the opportunity to use different lighter materials. Cut logs, tumbled glass, glass bottles, flagstone pieces, rusted pipes, or any other things left over from construction work or that can be salvaged. Most gabion cages for purchase come in a variety of sizes and have different mesh dimensions for the capacity to retain different sized materials. They also offer different gauge wires that will account for lighter
and heavier fill. Standard shapes available for purchase include squares, rectangles, and cylinders. Gabion1.com (www.gabion1.com) is a great site to make purchases, get design ideas, and watch assembly videos. A large variety and sizes of wire cloths can be ordered from Flynn and Enslow in Hayward (flynnenslow.com/wire-mesh/) for custom build-it-yourself designs. These can be bent and curved then wired together to form custom shapes. Although they offer different metals such as copper, bronze, and aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized steel wire cloths are the best choices for durability when used for an outdoor gabion. Creating a gabion bench, fountain, or retaining wall will require the same plans, preparations, and contributing items that their non-gabion counterpart would require. This includes a solid foundation of at least three inches of compacted base rock so the gabion structure will not sink. There are a few tips for filling the gabion and supporting the base aesthetically and economically.
Decorative rocks, tumbled glass, and some other materials can be expensive. Use a less expensive drain rock in the center and backside and the pricier materials as a façade on the front. When using heavier rocks and salvaged concrete pieces, brace wires might need to be run through the gabion for support. The face of the gabion is what makes it so intriguing and stunning. Taking a little time to individually place larger materials so they fit cohesively will pay off in the long run. A gabion is a solid and durable structure; the long run is a long time. Use of gabions as an artistic statement is a wonderful way to add personality and interest to a home and garden while still performing a necessary function. Whether a bench to take a break on or a retaining wall that holds back a hill, a gabion will do its job and look great doing it.

Veteran educator named Teacher of the Year
Victoria Quintana
ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY
BRIAN KILLGORE Selecting from a talented collection of educators, the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) recently named veteran educator Victoria Quintana as its 2017 Teacher of the Year. Quintana, who has worked in the FUSD for 26 years, is an Intervention Specialist at Grimmer Elementary School. At a district office ceremony on April 26 Quintana was chosen from 40 candidates and seven finalists representing all FUSD schools and programs for the honor. “I feel very honored and humbled to receive the award. Representing FUSD teachers, Spanish Dual Immersion and Grimmer Elementary makes me feel very proud,” Quintana said. “It was exciting and invigorating to receive so much praise and positive energy from my peers at the ceremony. However, I am the one who feels blessed to be working in a place where I can call my colleagues friends who make coming to work fun. I am surrounded by extremely hard working teachers and staff who are always supportive and easy to collaborate with.” A Fremont native and graduate of Kennedy High School, Quintana attended Ohlone College and California State University in Hayward before joining FUSD as a Bilingual Para Professional in 1990. She was one of four teachers hired to launch the
Spanish Dual-Immersion program at Azevada Elementary in 1997 and spent time at Vallejo Mill Elementary before joining Grimmer in 2003, teaching several different grades — all in Spanish Dual-Immersion. Quintana was hired as Program Improvement Specialist at Grimmer in 2012, and then transitioned to Multi-Tiered Student Support Coordinator. Among her duties is supporting teachers, coordinating intervention groups at all grade levels, assisting with the Junior High Immersion Task Force and creating parent outreach. She earned an MS and Admin Credential from CSU-East Bay in 2015. “We are so proud of Victoria and the significant contributions she has made to students, families, and staff alike both at the school and district levels,” said Grimmer Elementary School Principal, Judy Nye. “She is committed to strong programs supporting learning and equity in education. She is well-respected among a wide array of professionals in our community, and has the best interests of students at the forefront of her mind at all times.” For the Teacher of the Year Award, each school in the district nominates one teacher for consideration. In addition to Quintana, this year’s finalists included Debbie Afana from Brookvale Elementary; Tracy Barnett from Vallejo Mill Elementary; Erica Hart from Millard Elementary; Jenny Inman from Oliveira Elementary; Farah Moayer from Mattos Elementary and Bob Sterling from Kennedy High School.

Tri-City Animal Shelter provides sanctuary, care, adoptions SUBMITTED BY SANDI STADLER A ball of kittens rolling around, dogs barking a greeting to any and all, rabbits peeking around a mound of hay; this might sound like the makings of a Disney movie, but it is a regular sight at Fremont’s Tri-City Animal Shelter. The shelter provides a sanctuary to pets that are lost, sick, injured or abandoned. Staff and volunteers work tirelessly to find these animals their lost owners or a new home. Located behind the Fremont Police Department at 1950 Stevenson Blvd., the Tri-City Animal Shelter offers a number of services to residents and visitors in the Bay Area. The shelter is open to the public five days a week. Visitor hours are Tuesday – Friday noon – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. While we provide shelter services for the communities of Fremont, Newark, Union City and San Leandro, pet adoption is open to all. We welcome anyone who is looking to find their perfect companion. Our customer service representatives are ready to help match one of our special animals to your unique situation. We strive to make the right fit, so the animal is placed in its final forever home. Please call the Tri–City Animal Shelter at 510-790-6630 for any questions. All of our available pets can be found online at www.petharbor.com.

I Reginald came to the shelter as a stray from the City of Newark. He is approximately 2 years old and very enthusiastic about life. Although he loves to play he does calm down quickly and walks well on a leash. Given his size and exuberance for life, we do not recommend a home with small children. If you would like to meet Reginald and possibly make him your companion, please come by the shelter.
The adoption fee for a cat is $136.00 and $173.00 for a dog. All animals are spayed and neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations, and are micro-chipped with lifetime registration and licensed (Fremont residents only). Cats are tested for Feline Aids and Leukemia prior to adoption. We also perform an extensive behavior evaluation on dogs, which helps us make a good match. We have a discounted rate for seniors; $112 for cats and $149 for dogs. Rabbits are available for adoption for $35.00 and are spayed or neutered and microchipped. Licensing: All dogs and cats living in Fremont require a current rabies vaccination and a current license. The licensing office is open Tuesday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – noon and 1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Seniors over 60, receive a discount on their pet’s license fee. The license is good for the same term as the rabies vaccine. A 50% discount on the license fee is applied, if your dog or cat is spayed or neutered. Please call the Fremont Pet Licensing Department at 510-790-6644 for license terms and rates.
think that the first moment I knew my dad was a little different than others was in third grade, when we were asked to give a “how to” presentation to the class for Demonstration Day. While other students showcased how to draw a horse or bake muffins, I came to school with a pair of safety glasses and grozier pliers, and proceeded to demonstrate how to properly score and cut a sheet of glass. Growing up in a glass shop in downtown Niles provided a wealth of unique skills (and a penchant for eating slices of cheese pizza from Bronco Billy’s Pizza Palace, a habit I find hard to break years later and cities away). When Loren Inglish, my father and owner of The Glass Works in downtown Niles, decided to leave his job as a national sales manager for Motorola and pursue a career in art glass, there would have been no way for him to predict the number of lives he would touch through his artistry. What began as a garage hobby to balance effects of job-related stress led to a 39-year career bringing inspiration to life. Inglish’s first big commission was St. Anne’s Church in Union City, and he has since been commissioned to create and repair windows for numerous churches, including Memorial Church at Stanford University. He recalls being awed by the age and history of magnificent multi-colored stained glass windows, and the artisans who up to a century earlier. His singular goal, to leave the object as if untouched. Customers have appreciated Inglish’s passion for excellence, designing and creating one-of-a kind pieces. Inglish (and his wife Betty), have worked side-by-side as owner/operators of The Glass Works for nearly 40 years. Their downtown shop is lined with custom creations, carefully hand-crafted
following the legacy of old-world masters. Shelves are stocked with beautiful, hard-to-find glass and supplies. Over the years, Inglish also set himself apart as one of the only contractors in Northern California offering re-silvering for antique mirrors and custom glass bends for cabinets and windows, that he creates in a kiln he built himself. He takes pride in his ability to build or repair just about anything, from custom wood cabinets to rewiring a persnickety hairdryer in my high school days. He was active in the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, and served on the Niles Merchants Association for many years, working to build Niles into the destination community that it is today. Having downtown Niles as my playground in my formative years taught me many things, but some of the most important lessons in life, I learned directly from my dad... look at a project carefully, from all perspectives, and take your time to build something that adds value to the world. Reuse and refinish, instead of buying new. Be a good neighbor and give back the community. While my mom and dad have decided to retire, their legacy has been permanently woven into the fabric of the Bay Area. My family is excited to welcome the public into their store one last time before closing the doors. Woodworking and metalworking tools, stained glass tools and supplies, shelving and furniture, building supplies, custom glass pieces, antiques and many other treasures are available for purchase on May 6 and May 13, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there.

Volunteer coaches will work with people to help them repair broken household items at a Fixit Clinic in Union City.
ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY UNION CITY Before you throw it away, let’s try to fix it together! A free, family-friendly Fixit Clinic for household items is planned for Saturday, May 13 at the Union City library. Sponsored by Union City Recycles, Alameda County Library, and Stopwaste, the clinic’s goal is for people to succeed in fixing a valuable or sentimental item which previously was destined for the waste bin. Even if the item ends up not being fixable, participants will have at least gained the knowledge and confidence to help with future repair projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their old broken toaster, coffee maker, electronic device, toy, clothing, fabric, or other household item and learn “hands-on” how things work and

Milpitas Rotary President Hon Lien celebrates the group’s successful 2016 Gala Fundraising Dinner.
SUBMITTED BY FRANK DESMIDT Following the success of its first Fundraising Dinner for Youth Education last year, Milpitas Rotary Club is bringing out the dinner plates again. But this year’s event is much more than a delicious seven course Vietnamese cuisine dinner. It will include silent and live auctions, a raffle drawing, music, dancing and plenty of networking opportunities according to Rotary President Hon Lien. Funds raised from the event will benefit the Youth Education Project which serves students in the Milpitas area and in Vietnam. The gala event is set for 6 p.m. Saturday, May 13 at Ta Restaurant in Milpitas. Because dinner tickets sell out quickly, Lien suggests people call to reserve
tickets as soon as they can. Tickets are $75 and are available by calling Lien at (408) 439-1207. Milpitas Rotary is a part of Rotary International a worldwide service organization that boasts more than a million members whose focus is building local communities through education and humanitarian services.

SUBMITTED BY MARYANN COWENHOVEN PHOTO COURTESY TRI-CITIES WOMEN’S CLUB The Tri-Cities Women’s Club held their annual “Spring Fling” on April 18, 2017 at the Elks Lodge in Fremont. The event featured a luncheon and fashion show by Dress Barn, with raffle prizes and gifts donated by local businesses. More than 170 guests enjoyed the presentation of spring fashions from Dress Barn; but the highlight of the day was the group of men from Centerville Presbyterian Church who served the lunch,
making the members and guests feel very special. The Tri-Cities Women’s Club has raised money for local charities for more than 54 years, including Meals on Wheels, Shelter Against Violent Environment and the Tri-City Homeless Coalition. This year the proceeds from the “Spring Fling” will go to Kidango, a full-day and part-day preschool program that helps prepare the children academically for a lifetime of learning, while focusing on the child’s social development and overall well-being. The Tri-Cities Women’s Club, originally known as the Newcom-
ers Club, was organized in 1963 by a group of women whose main objective was to promote friendship among women in the area. The club, which has more than 80 members, meets from September through June at the Fremont Elks Lodge on the third Tuesday of each month. We have several social groups: Book Club, Bridge Marathon, Card Groups, Mini Tours, Walking Group, Let’s Do Lunch, Rummikub and Bocce Ball. Please give us a call at 925-201-7487 or 510-793-4168 if you are interested in learning more about our organization. We would love to hear from you.

BAY AREA TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS HOSTS THIRD ANNUAL EXPO SUBMITTED BY JANELLE EVANS Join us, the Bay Area Traffic Solutions (B.A.T.S.) as we showcase how our local company has evolved to provide traffic control services across the Golden State to keep our roads and streets safe. We will demonstrate some the latest advancements in the field of traffic safety, display how we are helping keep our construction zones protected, hear from traffic safety experts and showcase the best traffic control products in the market. There will be demonstrations by industry and more than 12 vendors, including: traffic control plans. the art of “flagging,” lane and road closures demos, construction area traffic control and signage including scorpion trucks, barricades, signs, and cones. Road traffic control involves directing vehicular and pedestrian traffic around a construction zone, accident or other road disruption, thus ensuring the safety of emergency response teams, construction workers, and the general public.

We also want to show our appreciation to our clients and community by providing a free day of entertainment with food and drinks, live music, raffles, and big door prizes.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
May 2, 2017
Saving lives and celebrating life PHOTO BY VICTOR CARVELLAS The American Cancer Society is on a mission: to save lives and celebrate life. Every single day. They are aided in this goal by communities around the world who take part in the world’s largest volunteer-based fundraising event – Relay For Life. Relay is a powerful tool, a time when stranger and friends band together, forming teams and donning purple to strike back at cancer. Teams gather at local schools or parks for up to 24 hours to walk or run around a track, raising money for cancer research. After an Opening Ceremony, cancer survivors take the first lap of the day, followed by a Caregivers Lap. Teams have a member on the track at all times to show that cancer never sleeps. When darkness falls, the Luminaria Ceremony is held. Candles light personalized bags that represent a loved one lost to cancer, those currently fighting the disease, and honoring survivors. This ceremony is an opportunity to grieve, but also symbolizes hope and perseverance, with an eye toward a cancer-free future. Food, games, and activities are also part of the event, with plenty of fun opportunities to take part and donate to the cause. Tri-Cities events begin at Moreau Catholic High School on Friday, May 12 and continue in communities throughout the summer. Dog lovers can even get in on the action with Bark For Life of Hayward, a fun-filled day with man’s best friend that includes demonstrations, contests, and games. Join Relay For Life and your local community to support the fight against our biggest health threat. To learn more, contact your local city representative or register online at http://relay.acsevents.org. Learn more about the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.

harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the “Plaids” are a guaranteed smash. A program of beloved songs and delightful patter keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they’re not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950s. Songs during the course of the musical include: “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Moments to Remember,” “Perfidia,” “Cry,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Chain Gang,” “Catch A Falling Star,” “Heart

‘Sanctuary Jurisdictions’ safe for now SUBMITTED BY LAUREL ANDERSON In a historic ruling issued April 25, 2017, U.S. District Court Judge William H. Orrick granted the County of Santa Clara’s request to temporarily enjoin President Trump and his administration from enforcing an Executive Order provision that would withdraw all federal funding from the County and jurisdictions across the country deemed “sanctuary jurisdictions.” The County of Santa Clara was the first jurisdiction in the country to seek this emergency relief based on the immediate harms and coercion caused by the President’s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. The City and County of an Francisco subsequently sought a similar injunction. Judge Orrick held that “the Counties have demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their challenge to Section 9(a) of the Executive Order, that they will suffer irreparable harm absent an
injunction, and that the balance of harms and public interest weigh in their favor.” He explained that “the Government’s new interpretation of the Order is not legally plausible” and granted the County’s motion for a nationwide preliminary injunction. “The politics of fear has just suffered a major setback, thanks to Judge Orrick and our judicial branch, along with the support of cities and counties across the country,” said Dave Cortese, President of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. “Millions of people across the country can continue to receive essential medical care, go to school and remain active members of their communities without fear that their local governments are being forced to work against them, rather than for them.” “We’re fighting for the United States Constitution and we succeeded after the Trump Administration tried to do an end run around it. The court’s decision is a win for the neediest people in our nation— seniors in need of food, foster youth in need of shelter, and children who need
medical care,” said Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez. “We will continue being a welcoming, safe, and diverse community.” Despite federal government threats of defunding, the County of Santa Clara has not changed its immigration-related policies, including those that ensure that County resources are not used for federal immigration enforcement purposes. “Today’s decision is a historic affirmation of the U.S. Constitution’s core principles—that the President cannot usurp powers not given to him, and that the federal government cannot use federal defunding to coerce local governments into becoming federal immigration enforcers,” said County Counsel James R. Williams. The Office of the County Counsel, joined by pro bono counsel Keker, Van Nest & Peters LLP, will seek to ensure that the temporary relief granted—obtained due to the immediate harms the County faced—is made permanent.
“This decision is a critically important step in ensuring that a constitutionally infirm Executive Order is ultimately struck down,” said Cody Harris, a partner at Keker, Van Nest & Peters. During the hearing on the County’s motion, Judge Orrick thanked amicus participants for their involvement in the case. All fifteen amicus briefs filed, representing more than 240 individuals and entities, supported the County of Santa Clara. Amici included the State of California; cities, counties, sheriffs and police chiefs from around the United States; school districts representing over one million California students; civil and immigrant’s rights groups; unions; law scholars, non-profit service providers, and technology companies. The County’s lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the Executive Order, arguing that it violates the separation of powers, the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, and the Tenth Amendment.

Cal State East Bay adds six women swimmers
SUBMITTED BY STEVE CONNOLLY PHOTO COURTESY OF CAL STATE EAST BAY ATHLETICS Cal State East Bay (CSUEB) head women’s swimming coach Shane Pelton recently announced that six standout student-athletes have been signed for the 2017-18 season. The new swimmers will include Allie Klinger, from Bentwood, California. She will transfer from San Diego State University to compete as a sophomore. Meanwhile, Serene Augustain, from Queen Creek, Arizona; Sieara Kling, from Chandler, Arizona; Peyton Wayment, from Littleton, Colorado; Sofia Moufarrej, from Livermore and Tatum Roepke from Sacramento, will all join the Pioneers as freshmen in the fall. “I am really excited to see what the future holds for this recruiting class,” Pelton said. “Our team had a great year — one of the best in program history — and now it’s time to build off that. This class is going to play an integral part in the future of East Bay Swimming.” A Bay Area native who prepped at Heritage High School and will study Nursing at CSUEB, Klinger headlines the list of 2017-18 newcomers after spending one year swimming for the Division I Aztecs.

Vikings hitting outscores Cougars SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW The Irvington Vikings (Fremont) varsity baseball team beat Newark Memorial’s Cougars 5-2 on April 28th with a good display of hitting. Starting their attack in the third inning with two runs, the Vikings continued with three more in the fourth, fifth and seventh. Good Vikings defensive infield plays assured continuation of the lead even though the Cougars made a late inning offensive charge to challenge the game outcome.
(51.24), and 100 Fly (55.03) would all rank among the fastest in the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference (PCSC) this season. “We are extremely fortunate to have Allie coming home to compete at East Bay,” Pelton added. “It’s exciting to have a swimmer of her caliber joining us with three years of eligibility still left. She has a chance to blossom into a special athlete.” Augustain is a freestyle specialist now completing her senior year at Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona. She has posted personal best times of 53.66 in the 100 Free, 1:53.52 in the 200 Free, 5:03.58 in the 500 Free, and 10:37.60 in the 1000 Free. Another out-of-state recruit, Wayment will join the Pioneers from Chatfield High School in Colorado. Long distance swimming is her specialty, as she has posted top times of 1:54.88 in the 200 Free, 5:01.54 in the 500 Free, and 10:30.09 in the 1000 Free. Her current PR of 17:29.60 in the 1650 Free is faster that CSUEB’s school record. “Serene and Peyton will immediately be major contributors to in our mid-distance and long distance races,” praised Pelton. “Serene can swim everything from the 50 to the mile, while Peyton is strongest in the longer distances. Both are coming in with times that are close to our current program records.” Roepke is a senior at Saint Francis High School in Sacra-
mento and hails from the same club team as current Pioneer AllAmerican Morgan McClure. She excels in the sprints and short distance strokes, and will begin her collegiate career with personal bests of 24.59 in the 50 Free, 53.91 in the 100 Free, 57.54 in the 100 Fly, and 58.70 in the 100 Back. Kling makes it two Arizona natives in the 2017-18 class of recruits as she wraps up her senior year at Chandler High School. Kling is extremely versatile with strong times across several events and distances. She comes to CSUEB with top times of 53.60 in the 100 Free, 1:55.65 in the 200 Free, 5:15.17 in the 500 Free, 58.12 in the 100 Fly, and 2:11.71 in the 200 IM. Finally, local product Moufarrej joins the Pioneers from just over the East Bay hills at Granada High School in Livermore. In addition to posting solid freestyle times, she is particularly strong as a mid-distance flyer, notching personal bests of 54.56 in the 100 Free, 1:57.31 in the 200 Free, ad 2:07.12 in the 200 Fly. Tatum, Sieara, and Sofia will add depth and versatility to our program, especially in the butterfly races,” Pelton noted. “I believe the potential is through the roof for all three of them. Once we get them here in the fall and start training, I think this class is going to really excel.”

immediately make our team stronger. This class will be a cornerstone group as we try to build towards returns to the national championship meet in cross country.” Duda is a senior at Trabuca Hills High School and has posted top times of 17:33 in the 3-Mile and 5:13 in the 1600. She was named Most Improved Runner in her first year with the team, and by the time she was a senior, she was voted Most Valuable Runner. Duda is a two-time First Team All-County honoree and led Trabuca Hills to the Orange County title this past year. Fisher is in the midst of her senior season at Temecula Valley High School. She has turned in times of 5:31 in the 1600 and 12:10 in the 3200, and also notched a PR in the 3-Mile at the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic with a time of 19:04. One of two Bakersfield natives in the 2017-18 class, Quevado is a senior at Mira Monte High School. She has been a standout for both the cross country and
track and field squads, and also competed on the soccer team. She was named “Most Important Runner” twice and “Most Inspiring” once for the track team. She also earned the latter award three straight years for cross country. Quevado has posted top times of 5:28 in the 1600, 12:15 in the 3200, and 18:37 in the 3-Mile. Finally, Ronquillo is wrapping up an outstanding prep career at California South High School, having posted times of 5:23 in the 1600 and 17:29 in the 5k. She placed 30th out of more than 200 runners this past fall at the 2016 CIF State Cross Country Championships. This quartet will highlight a young CSUEB squad next Fall. The Pioneers will graduate three of their top distance runners in Sarah Perrin, Kelsey Lamb, and Kandace Compton this Spring, and they return just one senior in Dana Pollard. Similar to his men’s team, second-year coach Nicolosi will look to build the women’s program around a young, talented core.

Fremont voting district plan advances Community asked to weigh in SUBMITTED BY CITY OF FREMONT On March 21, 2017, the City of Fremont adopted a resolution of intention to transition from an at-large to a district-based councilmember election system with six districts. The City has already held two of the five required public hearings where the Fremont City Council and community provided input on the criteria to guide the development of the district boundaries. Using this input, draft district maps have now been drawn, and the third and fourth public hearings will allow the public the opportunity to provide further input regarding the proposed district boundaries and the potential sequence of elections. The Mayor will still be chosen by the electorate on a citywide basis. The preliminary set of draft election district maps have been drawn to divide the City of Fremont into sub-areas and include highways, major roads, creeks, and railroads as recognizable boundaries, when possible. These maps reflect public comments and direction from the Fremont City Council. The Fremont City Council will consider and the public will pro-
vide input on the draft district maps and potential election sequencing at the third public hearing which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 2 at 7 p.m. The public hearing is part of the regular City Council meeting, which will be held at 3300 Capitol Ave., Building A in the Council Chambers. Comments from the third public hearing will be used to modify the current draft maps, or create new maps, if required. Any amended or new maps will be published on May 9, seven days prior to the fourth public hearing that is scheduled for May 16, 2017 at 7 p.m., and will continue the conversation around the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. At the fifth and final public hearing, the Fremont City Council will vote to consider an ordinance establishing district-based elections. For more information and to view the draft district maps, visit www.Fremont.gov/DistrictElections. Community members are also invited and encouraged to share input, comments, and feedback by email at districtelections@fremont.gov. Comments received will be shared with the Fremont City Council as part of the public feedback at the hearings.

TAKES FROM SILICON VALLEY EAST
Food Tech, Automation, and Internet of Things BY
SHAWN LANGE
A lot can be said about the impact of automation in manufacturing. But what often goes unsaid is that automation equipment itself is a burgeoning industry. These days, Fremont finds itself as somewhat of a ground zero for this industry given the robust manufacturing and supply chain activity that’s found here. Some of the biggest names in robotic equipment and integration are operating right here in Fremont, and L2F is a prime example. We recently caught up with co-founder and CEO Shawn Lange to get a better sense of the key trends in manufacturing automation, and the company’s particular niche in food tech. Can you describe what L2F does and how it fits into the manufacturing ecosystem? SL: L2F designs and builds custom robotic manufacturing equipment with a focus on helping hardware based start-ups move their concepts from the laboratory to full-scale fabrication (Lab2Fab™). Our vision is to bring Silicon Valley culture and innovation to the world of industrial automation. What are some key industries that you support and/or projects that you are most known for? Any favorites? SL: We do a lot in automotive, aerospace, solar, and semiconductor, but we’re best known for our work in food with Zume Pizza and CafeX being two prominent clients. We can’t name all of our clients, but we’ve automated production processes for chocolate, fruit, and ramen noodles, to name a few. Food tech is fun to work on because the impact of our efforts is so immediately clear. Some people like to say that L2F stands for Land2Fork. We’re helping bring
fresh, quality food to the masses and that’s exciting to get behind. How much is automation contributing to the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and the recent resurgence of local/regional manufacturing? SL: Automation is at the heart of IoT growth because it requires the use of sensors, controllers, and intelligent devices that are all inherently ready to pump out data. However, many manufacturing facilities still use pen and paper to collect plant-floor data, if they collect much data at all. That’s why we’re starting to hear the phrase IoT a lot now, or Industrial Internet of Things. At L2F, all of our machines come with the ability to connect to the outside world (unless our client doesn’t want it). The immediate impact for our clients is remote maintenance and monitoring. However, predictive maintenance is the next step. Preventative maintenance is where equipment is maintained/serviced on a regular interval (like your car, every 5,000 miles or so). Predictive maintenance collects real-time data from plant-floor equipment and uses this to predict when a failure will occur. Maintenance is then scheduled at an optimum interval as opposed to a regular interval. Predictive maintenance will change the way equipment manufacturers service and support their tools. What sectors do you see as L2F’s highest prospects for growth? What are the trends you are most mindful of? Food, food, and more food. Particularly in automated kiosks and kitchens. Food tech is booming, Sand Hill Road is fully behind it, and we’re the most experienced robotics integrator in the field.
New EV requirements help reduce greenhouse gases SUBMITTED BY CITY OF FREMONT The City of Fremont has recently adopted green building standards that require residential and non-residential new construction projects and additions to include parking spaces that are “Electric Vehicle Ready.” Fremont’s specific EV Ready parking standards require that single-family residential projects include one EV Ready parking space per each dwelling unit and that all multifamily and non-residential projects include EV Ready parking spaces for 10 percent of the total number of new parking spaces. All EV Ready parking spaces must also be equipped with the EV charging unit. Fremont currently boasts some of the highest EV ownership levels in the region. With over 5,000 EV drivers to date, Fremont represents one-third of all of the EVs in Alameda County, and Fremont’s 94539 zip code has more EV owners than any other zip code in California. Efforts to encourage the transition to cleaner vehicles such as EVs are a significant Fremont Climate Action Plan initiative. Since 2013, the conversion to zero-emission EVs has alone reduced local greenhouse gas emissions by over 20,000 tons of CO2. The new codes adopted by Fremont will provide additional opportunities for residents to charge their vehicles at home, at work, and at places of commerce, further encouraging the transition to electric vehicles and decreasing community greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, home energy consumption in Fremont has decreased nearly 15 percent over the past four years, even with increasing numbers of residents plugging in their vehicles to charge at home. These energy reductions can be attributed to significant improvements in energy efficiency as well as the installation of over 2,800 rooftop solar electric systems to date. Ongoing residential climate action initiatives continue to provide opportunities for residents to reduce their greenhouse gas footprint while at the same time saving money. Such initiatives include efforts like the California Youth Energy Services “Green House Calls”, the SunShares residential solar and clean vehicle discount program, and the Fremont Green Challenge climate action engagement platform.

inding solutions to thorny problems is not a new challenge. Sometimes the process isn’t a pretty sight and can be entangled in a multitude of possibilities, though many proposals may be obviously unrealistic. The search for a practical and amicable resolution can be vexing, much more convoluted and complex than necessary. English theologian, William of Ockham (1285-1349), grappled with the concept; his ideas were later coined as “Ockham’s Razor.” This idea is that when faced with a myriad of possibilities leading to the same result, a solution using the fewest assumptions can be presumed correct until proven otherwise. “What can be done with fewer [assumptions] is done in vain with more.” Although there are some who would argue with its application in various disciplines, simplicity can at least create a starting point when confronted with a complex problem.
Fremont is faced with a decision in preparation for conversion to district elections beginning 2018. As discussions have previously been focused on the number of districts and legal considerations, the demographer assisting the City has now created five maps (available for viewing at: www.fremont.gov) to begin the conversation about practical matters. Boundary lines will not only affect district priorities but also eligibility of those considering a future run for council. Within the legal confines of population equality required by law, districts should have something in common to give guidance to its representative. This can be construed as a recommendation that all districts have something in common with each other. An example would be dividing Transit Oriented Districts (TOD) between them. The complexity of such an assumption and gyrations necessary to do this (there are not six TODs in Fremont) would create boundaries that make little sense. Similarly, if the Ardenwood area is combined with the southern industrial section, what commonality would exist within that district?
With help from citizen input, a starting point for districts should focus on simplicity and common focus. A new census in 2020 will dictate changes but initially, cohesive and understandable boundaries need to be drawn so citizens can easily understand and identify with their district. Trying to modify boundaries to create equality of industry and residential components is unrealistic since some areas are concentrated nodes of such activity and others are not. Stretching lines into unusual shapes is the stuff of political gerrymandering, hopefully not the goal of Fremont. Although multiple current councilmembers may have residence in the same district, the decision facing Fremont should not favor any specific candidates in future elections. Maybe a guy from the fourteenth century can help us with a twenty-first century problem!
Our councilmembers, longtime residents of Fremont, understand the City and, though shackled by population numbers that determine how districts form, can at least modify such anomalies.
Although the winter storms caused a lot of damage in the East Bay Regional Parks, the district staff is hard at work cleaning up and getting ready for the summer season. The bad news is that the storms caused millions of dollars in damage, such as flooding, road washouts, and fallen trees. Some of the trail damage is still being discovered as rangers and volunteers check remote parkland areas. The good news is that cleanup and repair efforts are well under way, and the district is applying to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for funding assistance. Del Valle Regional Park south of Livermore was among the hardest hit. Its reservoir, which is operated by the state, could not be drawn down, because of
flooding danger to downstream residents. So, the rising waters inundated beaches, picnic areas, lawns, campsites and the visitor center. However, the waters have now subsided and much of the debris has been cleared away. The park reopened on April 15, and will be fully ready for summer recreation. The Redwood Canyon Public Golf Course near Castro Valley was also hit hard as waters backed up from Lake Chabot. The plan to fully reopen the course involves removal of downed trees and silt, resetting bridges, repairing bunkers, ramps, paths and irrigation systems, and reseeding the fairways. The golf course’s driving range, bar/grill and event center are open every day, and the Meadows Restaurant is open on Friday and Saturday evenings. For more information about the status of the golf course, call
510-587-8001. For up-to-date information on parks and trails, visit the Park District website at www.ebparks.org. On the home page under “Notices,” click on “Storm Damage in Regional Parks,” then click again on “current park conditions.” All the rain has resulted in a wildflower bonanza in the regional parks and elsewhere. Good parks for wildflower viewing include Sunol Regional Wilderness on Geary Road about five miles south of I-680 in southern Alameda County. Walk out Camp Ohlone Road and return on the Canyon View Trail. Another good bet is Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park on Foothill Road in Pleasanton. Walk up the Oak Tree Trail to the Ridgeline Trail. Farther north, climb the Briones Crest Trail from the Bear Creek Road entrance to Briones

Residents encouraged to recognize signs of illegal dumping SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF FREMONT Illegal dumping isn’t just rude it can be a health and safety issue, too. And Fremont officials take
dumping of unwanted materials on public or private property seriously. Illegal dumping of debris and garbage also can be an expensive and messy environmental prob-

State Homeland Security Grant for two unmanned aerial systems
Transportation Commission approves 2018 plan SUBMITTED BY TESS LENGYEL
$405 million investment delivers on promises and creates pipeline of projects supporting all transportation modes throughout Alameda County.
T
he Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) approved on April 28, 2017 the programming of $405 million of funding over the next five years for key Alameda County transportation projects and programs today as outlined in the 2018 Comprehensive Investment Plan (CIP). The CIP includes a five-year programming horizon and a two-year allocation plan that includes federal, state, regional and local transportation fund sources administered by Alameda CTC, including voter-approved Measure B and Measure BB dollars. “Alameda CTC is delivering on our promises - providing critical funding for a wide range of local transit, bike, pedestrian, highway and infrastructure improvement priorities,” says Alameda CTC Chair Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland City Councilmember At-Large.
“The CIP contains a diverse portfolio of investments over the next five years that support projects from early development to construction, to improve safety and state of good repair, and close gaps in our transportation system.” The 2018 CIP contains programming of $405 million to leverage against nearly $2.8 billion of additional funding, leading to a total investment of approximately $3.2 billion worth of local transportation improvements. “We know that for every one million dollars spent on transportation-related construction and maintenance in Alameda County, approximately 10 full-time equivalent jobs are created within the Bay Area,” says Alameda County Supervisor and Alameda CTC Vice Chair Richard Valle. “This action will support critical infrastructure improvements and contribute to many local jobs—which is exactly what Alameda County voters intended with their strong support of Measure BB in 2014.” Projects receiving funding are consistent with Alameda CTC’s Countywide Transportation Plan, multi-modal plans, and the voter-approved 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan, and include paratransit, bicycle, pedestrian, complete streets, emission reduction, interchange improvements, shuttles, park and ride lots, street rehabilitation,
travel training, and transit among others. The CIP includes the allocation of $261 million in fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19, supporting projects in various phases of development from scoping and design through construction. “The CIP was developed through a project nomination process that ensures we are investing in local priorities,” says Alameda CTC Executive Director Arthur L. Dao. “By funding projects in various stages of development on a 5-year horizon, we ensure that we are preparing a pipeline of projects for delivery and to be competitive when additional funding, whether at the state or federal level, becomes available.” In addition to funds programmed through the 2018 CIP, local Alameda County jurisdictions and transit agencies receive monthly funding allocations from Measure B, Measure BB and the Vehicle Registration Fee Program to support bicycle/pedestrian safety and gap closures, street resurfacing and maintenance, transit operations, and transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities. Alameda CTC projects that in fiscal year 2016-17 alone, these monthly distributions will total nearly $150 million.
County looking at $108M budget gap SUBMITTED BY GUY ASHLEY The Alameda County’s Budget Workgroup has announced a projected $108.5 million budget gap for Fiscal Year 2017-18. County Administrator Susan S. Muranishi said the budget gap is 50 percent larger than that closed by the County to balance the Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget. This growth reflects challenges that include a proposed shift in State costs to counties for the mandated In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program, slowing economic growth, increased employee salary and benefits costs, and a 3.5 percent cost-of-living adjustment for eligible service contracts with communitybased organizations. The projected funding gap would be slightly smaller than the $72.2 million shortfall recorded last year were it not for the Governor’s controversial plan to end the IHSS maintenance of effort funding arrangement that limited annual cost increases to counties to a predetermined inflation factor. The IHSS program funds in-home care for low-income elderly and disabled residents as an alternative to more expensive nursing homes. The plan to shift IHSS costs to back to local governments would cost Alameda County an additional $40 million in FY 2017-18 alone, with costs projected to increase sharply due to the phase-in of State mandates that will raise program costs, such as minimum wage increases and paid leave requirements, as well as demographic shifts associated with an aging population. If the State does not take any action to mitigate its shift of IHSS costs to counties, local governments will be forced to make tough choices to address the resulting funding gap. “In order to fund this rise in costs, Alameda County will have to make cuts to critical services provided to our community,” County Supervisor and Budget Workgroup Chair Keith Carson said. “These services include public assistance, health care and public safety programs.” Alameda County is scheduled to approve a Final Budget for FY 2017-18 by June 30.

NBA vet shares basketball and health tips with kids SUBMITTED BY BRIAN KILLGORE Students at Maloney Elementary School in Fremont recently learned some great lessons about health, teamwork and basketball, courtesy of a former NBA star and some renowned national organizations. This spring, Jr. NBA teamed up with Kaiser Permanente and Scholastic in an effort to encourage kids across the country to make healthy choices, while sharing lifelong skills for success through the ‘Slam Dunk: Skills for Success’ program. Hosted by 13-year NBA veteran and Golden State Warriors Community Ambassador, Adonal Folye, the April 25th event at Maloney took fifth and sixth-graders through a Junior NBA clinic. There were a variety of basketball and fitness stations, and interactive classroom activities that made the connection between mind and body wellness. The idea was to help students understand how to use the values of total health to achieve success in their everyday lives, and develop skills to manage stress. Maloney Elementary was selected as one of six winners of the Slam Dunk: Skills for Success sweepstakes.

SUBMITTED BY ROSIE FLORES PHOTO BY PAUL, FUNFLICKS The San Leandro Downtown Association (SLDA) is proud to host “Bike SL” on Sunday, May 7 to celebrate and inspire biking in San Leandro. SLDA has sponsored Bike SL for the past seven years. Join us for a free, family-friendly celebration of healthy and fun transportation! May is National Bike Month, sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists, and celebrated in communities from coast to coast. Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling and encourage more folks to giving biking a try. But National Bike Month is so much more than 31 days in May. It’s a celebration of bikes, a reminder to get rolling again, a gateway to riding more often and a time to explore our community on a bike. Bike SL participants will embark on a journey to the San Leandro Marina and back, beginning with a check-in at the parking lot in front of the Englander on Parrott Street. The San Leandro Police Department will lead the caravan to the Marina. Participants – don’t forget to bring your bikes, helmets, and lots of energy as we make our way through San Leandro with family and friends. And, most importantly, please remember to download and complete the waiver at: www.SanLeandroBusinessAssociation.org if you would like to participate. Halfway through the route, pedal by one of the Energizer Stations sponsored by local businesses for free snacks, beverages, and a reusable tote bag filled with goodies for future biking adventures around San Leandro. A world of thanks to the San Leandro Police Department for providing our riders with a police escort, and

for always supporting the healthy endeavors of our San Leandro community. Did someone mention a raffle? “Thanks to the New Belgium Brewing Co., we have been able to give away a New Belgium Fat Tire cruiser bike every year, and we are hoping to get one for this year as well,” says Larry Allphin, owner of Allphin Jewelers and long-time SLDA member. Besides being fun, biking to work is good for your health and for the environment. Take a look at all the benefits of riding a bike: • Reduce air pollution: In the Bay Area 43 percent of all car trips are two miles or shorter. For short trips, bicycling is an important tool to reduce air pollution; up to 70 percent of emissions from a 10-mile trip occur within the first mile. • Stay healthy and fit: Bicycling to work or school are great ways to get exercise every day. The well-documented obesity epidemic contributes to heart disease, cancer, stroke and type 2 diabetes, which together make up 40 percent of the leading causes of death in Oakland. • Save money: With gas prices rising and unlikely to decline in the long-term, bicycling makes more financial sense than ever; a bike’s annual operating cost is estimated to be $120 (as opposed to $5,000 – $12,000 for a car). • Ease street congestion: Twelve bicycles can fit in the space needed to park a single car.

man hitting a woman with a golf club on Niles Boulevard near G Street. Arriving officers initially could not find either person. A short time later Officer Manrique spotted a man who admitted his involvement. The woman was not located. The case was investigated by Officer Catassi. A customer at the Ross store at the Fremont hub had her cell phone taken from her by force while inside the store. The suspect was gone by the time officers arrived. The manager of Ross would not allow officers to take a copy of the stores surveillance camera footage for evidence, that clearly showed the suspect running away with the phone in hand. We were finally able to take a still photograph of the footage so we could follow up on this case. The suspect was described as white woman about 5-feet-9inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds and wearing white shorts. Officer Catassi later recovered the loss around the corner from the store. Wednesday, April 26 Officers were dispatched to a trespassing call on the 3400 block of Capitol Avenue. A 50-year-old man and a 21-year-old man were found inside the building. The older man was given a trespass notice and the younger man was arrested on a felony warrant. A caller reported that during her commute home through Niles Canyon she was the victim of a road rage incident. She told
dispatchers that a truck driver brandished a baseball bat at her. A short time later the truck driver called and told a different story. The truck driver agreed to turn his rig around (in the canyon) and come back to Mission/Niles for the investigation. The woman who called refused to turn around and come back to talk to the police. The incident was documented by Officer Richards. At 5:07 p.m., officers were dispatched to Safeway on the 3900 block of Washington Blvd on the report of a man who was in the store harassing women and reportedly grabbed two inappropriately. The reporting party said the man appeared to be drunk and left in a Ford Explorer. Officers ran the vehicle license plate and it came back to Newark. When Newark police were contacted for assistance, they said they already had the vehicle stopped and were investigating. At the stop, officers saw a bottle of unopened Jameson Whiskey with a Safeway label lock still attached. During the investigation officers also watched the video surveillance footage from inside Safeway where they saw the suspect NPD had stopped in the store. Newark police arrested the 23-year-old man.

Tuesday, April 25 At 6:10 p.m. Officers and R.A.V.E.N. volunteers responded to a motorcycle and pedestrian collision in the 35200 block of Newark Boulevard. It appears that a pedestrian was crossing Newark Boulevard when he was struck by a motorcyclist who was travelling northbound. The motorcyclist fled the area, leaving his motorcycle at the scene, but witnesses notified arriving officers that the motorcyclist was sitting inside a nearby McDonald’s Restaurant. The motorcyclist was arrested and medically cleared at a local hospital. He was later
booked into the Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and felony hit and run. The critically injured pedestrian was taken to a local trauma center where he was treated.

Auto Theft & Mail Theft Suspects Arrested
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Animal abuse meets child endangerment According to renowned animal behaviorist Dr. Temple Grandin, rodeo animals are “prey” animals, who fear for their very lives when ridden, chased, wrestled or handled roughly. She writes, “In assessing criteria for suffering, psychological stress—which is fear stress—should be considered as important as suffering induced by pain.” Ignoring science and compassion alike, the Rowell Ranch Rodeo in Castro Valley, (May 20–21), with the blessing of the Hayward Rec & Park District (HARD), will again feature two cruel, non-rodeo events: the “wild cow milking contest” (in which a cow was killed at the 2014 rodeo), and the children’s “mutton busting” event (wherein small children are coerced into riding terrified sheep, putting all at risk). And outlawed in New Zealand. Both events should be banned. Concerned citizens are urged to contact Paul McCreary, General Manager, and the Board of Directors, c/o HARD, 1099 E Street, Hayward, CA 94544; email mccp@haywardrec.org For most animals, rodeo is merely a detour en route to the slaughterhouse. Must we therefore torment, terrorize, cripple and sometimes kill them in the arena before we eat them? And all in the name of mere “entertainment,” may God forgive us. Playwright Tennessee Williams once wrote that, “Cruelty is the only unforgivable sin.” The animals (and we) deserve better. Eric Mills, Coordinator Action for Animals
SUBMITTED BY SGT. HUY TRAN, MILPITAS P.D. On April 18, 2017, at about 6:17 a.m., a Milpitas Police officer was conducting patrol checks in the parking lot of Walmart (301 Ranch Dr.) when he saw man standing next to a stolen white Dodge Stratus parked in the lot. The car had been reported stolen to the Fremont Police Department on April 17, 2017. Auner Gomez of Fremont was arrested, and officers determined a second suspect, Oscar Molina, also of Fremont, was inside Walmart. Officers arrested Molina when he exited the store. Both suspects had credit cards that were recently stolen from a car parked in Fremont. Gomez had made a purchase earlier inside the store with one of the stolen credit cards, and he had a “shaved key,” which is commonly used to burglarize and steal cars . Molina also had a small amount of methamphetamine. Officers searched the stolen car and recovered mail stolen from Fremont and modified keys used to open locked mail boxes. Gomez was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for automobile theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, and fraudulent use of a stolen credit card. Molina was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for automobile theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, and possession of a controlled substance.

Fremont mayor shares government experience with students ARTICLE SUBMITTED BY QUEENIE CHONG PHOTO BY SANGEETA KHANDELWAL Fremont Mayor Lily Mei recently stepped to the front of a classroom full of third-graders at John Gomes Elementary School to share her experience of running a city government. Mei’s lecture was designed to enhance the third grade social studies curriculum about local government. Students listened attentively as Mei recounted how she launched her civic engagement as a parent volunteer at the school many years ago, and eventually went on to become the first woman mayor of Fremont where she serves a rapidly growing community. Housing, transportation, safety, parks and recreation, the environment, economy, and even the importance of solving problems in a respectful way were among the issues discussed. To conclude the lesson, students were given the opportunity to ask the mayor some very insightful questions.

Fremont News Briefs SUBMITTED BY CHERYL GOLDEN Warm Springs BART Welcomes EV Drivers The new Warm Springs/South Fremont BART station in Fremont has officially opened 22 ChargePoint Level 2 electric vehicle chargers that support 42 EV parking spaces as part of a new pilot program. The 42 new EV charging spaces at Warm Springs is BART’s first installation of EV chargers anywhere in its service territory, and is also the largest deployment of publicly accessible EV chargers at a single site in Fremont. With these new stations, Fremont now hosts 143 Level 2 and 31 DC fast charging parking spaces for public use, providing essential infrastructure that helps support the transition to a cleaner vehicle fleet within our community. To aid this transition, the City of Fremont last year deployed 16 EV parking spaces at the City’s Development Services Center, the Central Park Boathouse, and along Capitol Avenue between Fremont Boulevard and State Street, and will be adding an additional 18 EV parking spaces along Capitol Avenue between State Street and Paseo Padre Parkway this spring. In addition, the City recently adopted an electric vehicle readiness policy that requires new commercial developments and multifamily housing projects to include EV parking spaces equipped with chargers for 10 percent of total parking capacity. Learn more at www.Fremont.gov/GreenBuilding. The EV parking spaces at Warm Springs/South Fremont BART station are open to BART patrons with electric vehicles who pay to park.

O
n Wednesday, April 26, 2017, more than 100 people were on hand to participate in the age-old ceremony known as “Topping Off ” or “Topping Out” for the three new Academic Core Buildings under construction at Ohlone College. Dating back to ancient times and believed to have originated in Scandinavia, the practice includes the placement of an evergreen tree or branches on the top of a building after the highest and last beam is in place. In contemporary times, one or more flags might be included with the tree and the
last beam is signed by the construction workers on site to celebrate this momentous occasion. And Ohlone celebrated this momentous occasion in a big way! With a 15-foot section of Iron I-Bar positioned on two sturdy wooden risers, and with its side painted white, construction workers, construction managers, architects, students, faculty, staff and administrators came to hear a few brief speeches, to give thanks for the progress made to date, and to sign the beam with names, encouraging statements and in some cases, personal drawings. With a sense of accomplishment and excitement about the future
of the Fremont campus, District President/Superintendent Dr. Gari Browning said, “Our students and staff have been watching the Ohlone College Fremont campus transform over the past year, from the tear-down of three obsolete buildings, to site preparation, and now the framework for three new buildings. These structures have emerged in just a few weeks, helping us envision how the college will look soon. The signing and placement of this beam signifies progress toward our goal of providing a future-focused learning environment for our students. This celebration is a happy milestone for Ohlone College.” Because the three Academic Core Buildings will transform the campus with thoughtfully
designed, modern architecture that includes lab spaces, classrooms, lecture halls, offices as well as gallery and performance spaces, Leta Stagnaro, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Deputy Superintendent went on to say, “These new buildings reflect teaching and learning innovations happening at Ohlone College. We are aligned with the latest research about how students learn, as well as emerging trends in how knowledge is shared, and our Academic Core building designs reflect these attributes. The topping off signifies that we’re well on our way to a stunning new campus.” To add to the excitement of the beam signatures, refreshments in the form of “Beamsicles” were provided for the participants to enjoy. The celebration was
concluded after the signed beam was secured with steel cables and the construction site crane lifted it to the roof of the tallest building’s frame. The crowd let out a cheer and applauded as it was placed. It was indeed a celebration of a happy milestone for Ohlone College!
