mericans are suffering from obesity at an everincreasing rate and our pet friends are no different. We love our pets and want the best for them but every day I examine my patients and a large percentage (>75%) are overweight.

Talking about obesity is a delicate subject as I can relate to the challenges that these pets and their owner's feel. Obesity is one of the most preventable diseases in our pets. Research indicates that nationally, six out of 10 pets are overweight; I believe the rate is higher in the Bay Area.

Obesity in pets doesn't have the social stigma attached to it.

It seems that we all like to have chubby pets. I often hear, "Doctor, my pet is very hungry and he barely eats anything."

When asked if they give treats, table scraps, and leftovers, many respond with a resounding “yes.” As a Veterinarian, you can tell when they get that look on their face. Instantaneously, family members look at each other and find someone to blame for giving table scraps.

Overweight pets tend to have similar weight-related conditions that we do. These include arthritis, diabetes, skin fold infections, anal sac impactions, heart disease, bronchitis and other breathing conditions. Obese pets don't run or play as much as pets that weigh less. Obese pets also tend to have more problems with anesthesia and surgery. I personally treat many of these ailments daily. Recent research suggests that a pet can live approximately 1 1/2 year longer if weight is maintained at optimal levels.

Why do pets gain weight?

1. Too little exercise: Take your pet on regular walks. A walk is an all-around workout and keeps mind and body healthy. Consult your veterinarian if your pet has arthritis or joint problems.

2. Breed (genetics): Certain breeds are prone to put on weight easily. They include common breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Beagles, and Cocker Spaniels among others.

3. Overeating: This is the most common reason. Most Veterinarians recommend measuring how much is fed to your pet. The majority of pets tend to overeat if given free choice feeding. Table scraps and lots of treats are often the culprit for weight gain. This is especially common in the Bay Area as many new immigrant communities are used to giving table scraps as they did in their homeland. Limit treats to lowcalorie choices that make up no more than 10% of your dog’s diet.

4. Hormonal conditions: Some pets have hormonal imbalances that contribute to obesity. Medical diseases can also make your pet appear overweight when, in-fact, they have an enlarged organ or mass.

Please consult your Veterinarian to see if this may be the case.

What is my pet's ideal weight?

Although it is best to consult your Veterinarian, ideal weight is when your pet's ribs and backbones are easily felt. The flank/belly area should also be

July 8, 2011

tight and your pet should have a visible waistline.

New drug for obesity management Recently, Pfizer introduced a new medication for management of obesity in dogs called Slentrol?. When used as directed, Slentrol? helps obese dogs lose weight at a steady, sustainable rate—the medically appropriate approach to weight loss. Please consult your Veterinarian if this drug may be of help for your pet. Slentrol? is for dogs only and should not be used in cats (or people)!

Get fit with your pet Recently, a new study demonstrates that both people and their pets are more successful in staying on a weight loss program if they exercise together. Consult your veterinarian for support and advice regarding how to best manage your pet's condition. Cheers to our pets! May they live long, healthy, happy lives!

ARTICLE AND PHOTO COURTESY OF JILL SINGLETON Cargill has awarded a $1,000 college scholarship to 2011 Irvington High School graduate Rajeswari Ramanathan of Fremont and donated $200 in her honor to support the school library – all part of Cargill’s nationwide Community Scholarship Program.

“We are pleased to recognize Ms Ramanathan with this award and Irvington High School for its dedicated work as well,” said Pat Mapelli, Real Property Manager for Cargill in Newark. “Cargill supports education programs in our communities because today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders.”

Ramanthan was one of 350 scholarship recipients among nearly 2,000 applicants from communities where Cargill has business operations. Students were selected based on academic achievement and leadership in school and community activities. The National FFA (Future Farmers of America) administers this program on behalf of Cargill, though recipients do not need to be FFA members.

“It’s definitely going to help me toward my college education,” said Ramanathan, who plans to attend UC Berkeley in the fall and study integrated biology. “Both my sister and I are going to college … and every penny counts.”

Along with the Cargill Community Scholarship Program, the company also provides 50

scholarships for children of U.S. employees. Locally, Cargill’s Salt operation also awarded 13 Newark Memorial High graduates a total of $22,000 in college scholarships. These programs are part of Cargill’s corporate responsibility approach and a companywide commitment to apply global knowledge and experience to help meet complex economic, environmental and social challenges wherever Cargill does business.

SUBMITTED BY JOY ALEXIOU Nurses at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center have been honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

bara’s manager said, “… she puts her heart and soul into nursing; we get a lot of patient compliments about her care.”

“We are proud to be among the hospitals participating in The DAISY Award program. Nurses are heroes every day. Given the current economic climate with more patients seeking care at SCVMC, The DAISY Award could not be launched at a better time,” said Chief Nursing Officer, Trudy Johnson. “It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that.”

Patients who wish to acknowledge their nurses may write to the DAISY award program at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center by emailing DAISY@hhs.sccgov.org. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center is among the over 670 hospitals committed to The DAISY Award program. For a complete listing of hospitals currently running the program, please go to www.DAISYfoundation.org Each quarter, three new nurses will be selected

by SCVMC nursing administration to receive The DAISY Award. For each honoree, a presentation is made with the nurse’s colleagues, physicians, patients, and visitors in attendance and a certificate is presented that reads: "In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people."

The DAISY Award is one initiative of The DAISY Foundation whose overall goal is to help fight diseases of the immune system. Additionally, DAISY offers J. Patrick Barnes Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects and provides assistance to ITP support groups.

Woolly wear has appeared on Cincinnati statues of Presidents

James Garfield and William Henry Harrison, among others.

WLWT-TV reports a local group of yarnstormers known as the BombShells says on its website that its goals include softening the edges of ``an otherwise cruel, harsh environment'' and transforming the idea of graffiti into something nondestructive and cozy.

Stores find success by focusing on the hunt

BY ELLEN GIBSON AP RETAIL WRITER Trader Joe's, the specialty grocery chain, might not have the cheapest toilet paper or the most varieties of ketchup, but it hooks customers with mango butter, chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds and cilantro-and-jalapeno hummus.

These goodies aren't on most grocery lists, but they're eye-catching enough to tempt shoppers into an impulse buy.

At a time when families are watching dollars and the Web makes discount-hunting easy, unexpected treasures are an increasingly important strategy for stores.

“It's the wow factor that's getting people to buy,” says Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi. ‘You walk into Costco for tuna and end up getting a Marc Jacobs coat.”

So shoppers may go into T.J. Maxx or a DSW shoe store looking for a bargain on something they need but end up splurging on irresistible finds, from dirt-cheap Ray-Bans to half-priced Puma sneakers.

Stores find success by focusing on the hunt cleaning supplies, then tempts them with extras like leather iPod cases. And at Costco, tucked inside the hulking pallets of mayonnaise and paper towels is a section where shoppers never know what they'll find.

Costco has been using the term “treasure hunt” for years to explain why up to a fifth of its stock is limited-quantity items that are in the store for as little as a week. Sometimes it's seasonal merchandise, such as margarita machines in summer. Often it's surprisingly trendy - such as bargain-priced Hunter rain boots, sold almost exclusively in the U.S. by Nordstrom.

The wholesale chain shows that the treasure hunt strategy can pay. Revenue at U.S. Costco stores open at least a year was up 10 percent last quarter from last year, with strong growth in nonessentials like jewelry and home and garden.

Walmart, on the other hand, is still trying to correct itself after a move to pare down to the basics - the opposite of the treasure hunt approach - proved unsuccessful.

Constantly cycling in fresh merchandise is critical as the Web makes it harder for stores to compete on price. After all,

why drive to a store that offers “everyday low prices” when you can find the same products cheaper online? Surprises also create suspense and encourage repeat visits.

TJX Cos., the parent company of T.J. Maxx and other chains that sell designer goods at a discount, gained momentum during the recession, when frugality came into style. That growth is continuing after the recession, at a time of high gas prices and stagnant incomes.

First-quarter revenue at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx stores open at least a year was up 4 percent over the same period last year.

Sherry Lang, vice president of investor relations at TJX, says the company is focused on keeping trend-conscious customers as the economy improves. One advertising campaign features a real-world T.J. Maxx buyer on the prowl for hip fashions. “When I score, you score,” she says.

The key is not only tracking down quality merchandise from vendors but getting it into the store quickly. To do this, T.J. Maxx and others have invested in sophisticated buying, planning and distribution systems.

The quick turnover creates a sense of urgency: If you don't buy it today, it probably won't be here tomorrow. When the economy tanked, TJX began cycling inventory through the store faster than ever before, Lang says. She believes that a rapidly changing assortment is the top driver of traffic, especially when stores are competing with the Internet.

Superstores like Kmart and Walmart are getting stung by online competition. Any massmarket product - think Jif peanut butter or Hanes T-shirts - can be comparison-priced online, and people tend to buy from the cheapest source. Increasingly, that's Amazon.com or another Web retailer.

But the so-called off-price stores, such as T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, often pick up products that have been discontinued and sell them cheaply, says Michael Dart, co-author of the book “The New Rules of Retail.”

Shoppers probably won't find them for less - or at all - online.

Jessica Zaloom, who works for a Manhattan advertising agency, buys full-priced designer clothes at department stores like Nordstrom. But she continued on page 28

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY BIFF JONES Jessica Varady, a 5'4” star sophomore softball pitcher at Ohlone College this past spring has decided to take her skills as a student-athlete down the road and play for Division I San Jose State University where she received a full softball scholarship. Varady, a 2009 graduate of Livermore High School, honed her softball and pitching skills the last two years at Ohlone Community College under veteran head coach, Donna Runyon.

Varady was twice named the Tri-City Voice Female Athlete of the Month; April 2010 and again in April 2011. She also was the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Athlete of the Month in April 2010. Coach Runyon has now nominated Varady for the 2010-2011 Ohlone College Female Athlete of the Year. Winner will be announced in August.

As a student, Varady has maintained at 2.9 GPA and in her final semester at Ohlone she carried 18 units. She currently has 64 units transferable to the California State University (CSU) system and is enrolled in two summer school classes at Ohlone. She will get her Associate of Arts degree later this month.

SUBMITTED BY KELLY HAYES, CSUEB SPORTS INFO DIRECTOR On the heels of a season that saw the Cal State East Bay water polo team post its best-ever finish at the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) Championships, the squad had 11 players named to the 201011 WWPA All-Academic Team on Monday, June 27.

The 11 honorees for the Pioneers led all nine conference teams following East Bay's fourth-place showing at the WWPA Tournament.

Warren collected her fourth straight all-academic honors, while Pierce, Bryan and Comforti each earned their second selection in as many years.

Pierce led the team and conference in scoring with 87 goals and earned first-team All-WWPA recognition

in 2011. The Perth, Australia, native also collected Capital One first-team Academic All-District recognition after leading the team with a 3.86 grade point average. Warren became the Pioneers' first four-time WWPA All-Academic honoree after finishing fourth on the team in scoring. The Stockton native finished her career as the program's all-time scoring leader with 241 goals.

BY KEVIN YIN Would you be interested in playing golf if you didn’t have to use a driver? Roy Taylor thinks you would be, and he’s spent the past 12 years of his life backing up his theory.

Taylor is the inventor of the Ezee Golf club, a golfing utility that can drive a ball up to 225 yards. Although it resembles an ordinary driver, to call Ezee Golf a club is somewhat deceptive; the player does not swing an Ezee Golf club as he or she would a regular club.

Rather, the player lines the club up with the ball in the direction the player wishes to drive the ball. The player sets the desired range, and then activates the club by pressing a button on the handle. A mech-

Comforti finished out her twoyear Cal State East Bay career with 54 goals, 46 assists and 76 steals, while maintaining a 3.25 GPA in the pre-nursing major.

anism inside the head of the club then strikes the ball, driving it potentially hundreds of yards without a single swing.

Taylor believes that, in so far as it can equalize play between a veteran golfer and a rookie, Ezee Golf can facilitate a great deal of play. Taylor also highlighted the potential for Ezee Golf to facilitate play for the elderly or the infirm, who may lack the physical ability to swing an ordinary driver.

“It allows you to play a full regulation sized game of golf without being a golfer,” Taylor said. “An inexperienced player could go out and play right beside a golf pro with Ezee Golf and have a good time.”

To say that the development of Ezee Golf has been a tribulation for Taylor would not be an

The WWPA All-Academic Team consists of players from member institutions who carry a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and have played in at least 50 percent of their team's contests, while classifying as a full-time student for at least one semester or two quarters. This year, the WWPA honored a combined 113 student-athletes on both the men and women's sides. understatement. According to Taylor, he first filed the patent for the Ezee Golf club 12 years ago, but the release of the clubs has been complicated by disputes with partners. Taylor said he has committed a considerable amount of his own finances toward the project, and he believes that Ezee Golf can have a big future.

“It can do what snowboarding did for skiing,” said Taylor.

“Some years ago, they used to have signs out on the freeway, ‘If you’re a snowboarder, don’t come here.’ Now, snowboarding is bigger then skiing.”

The analogy reveals what Taylor believes Ezee Golf is capable of: not merely augmenting the game of golf as it is now known, but potentially displacing it.

“People get discouraged with driving balls. They go home and never come back. It’s intimidating. The alternative is going on a driving range and practicing for hours before you play. They want to play, but they don’t want to spend hours practicing. It takes five minutes of instruction to learn to use the Ezee Golf.” continued on page 29

(FAMILY FEATURES)

F

or many families, summer is the time to hit the open road and see the country. However, there is a lot of pressure for parents to take their children everywhere, see everything and keep a tight schedule, according to "Family Adventure Mom," Deborah Geigis Berry.

"The one thing many of us do wrong is over plan - I used to be guilty of that as well," Berry says. "I remember once I tried to take my family hiking, out to eat and whale watching in just four hours. It was crazy."

Since great summer memories can be among the most important moments for your family, it is crucial to make sure you are ready to enjoy them when they happen.

"When traveling with kids, spontaneous moments will lead to the best summer memories," Berry says. "But believe it or not, you have to prepare to be spontaneous."

As a mom who has taken her children on more than 30 adventure trips, Deb Geigis Berry is always on the lookout for summer fun. Berry is known for her travel expertise, and has covered family life as a writer and editor at national magazines like Parenting , Outside, and Scouting. Her travels have taken her everywhere from crossing the Kansas prairie in a covered wagon to feeding sharks in the Dutch Caribbean.

More Travel Tips Here are more tips from the "Family Adventure Mom" Deb Geigis Berry: Break in New Gear - Before you hit the road, make sure that you've sufficiently broken in or tested any new gear and equipment. This is especially important for new shoes or hiking boots. Test new tents, two-way radios and portable grills before you go, and remember to re-stock your first aid kit.

Establish a Family Collection - Select an item that you and your family can collect together. Rocks, local recipes and instruments are just a few fun ideas. "My family likes to collect candy bars from around the world and then we taste-test them all at family events," Berry says.

Shop Local - Keep pit stops fresh by shopping for food at farmers markets. Stash a picnic basket with plates, utensils, napkins, cups and a ground cloth in the trunk for spontaneous outings.

Vacation Integration Night - The end of a vacation can be a letdown. The evening you return, have a Vacation Integration Night, where you and your family hold off answering mail and messages. Instead, use the time to share favorite memories and view photos from your trip.

Bring a VIP Be prepared to enjoy any type of adventure with a VIP, or "Very Important Pack." Berry's VIP includes a widebrimmed waterproof hat, beach ball, card games, map, photo album of family members if headed to a family reunion, and some pre-addressed labels and stamps.

ing, there's an OFF! insect repellent available to make sure you can enjoy your outdoor moments. "When we head to the beach I make sure to pack OFF! Clip-On Mosquito Repellent because it can be placed on my beach bag or lounge chair and within minutes creates head to toe protection," says Berry.

Plan for Change Ban Bugs Ensure your family and your precious summer moments are protected from mosquitoes and other biting insects.

Whether you're headed out for a weekend camping trip or taking the kids hik-

It's important to remember that an itinerary should be used as a guide, not a directive. Know going into the trip you likely won't be able to do everything. Focus on one highlight per family member to guarantee there's something for everyone.

Consider Missing the "Must-See" Costly adventures don't necessarily equal happiness. Children often enjoy a day at a little known bike path as much as a crowded, overpriced "must-see" attraction.

Limit "Plug-In" Time Limit the "plug-in" time for the children when watching movies and playing electronic games in the car. When time is up, engage them in family conversations, have them write a letter to a grandparent or keep a journal of the trip.

Though it takes a bit of organizing to pull together these items, it's certainly time well spent. A little planning upfront ensures that your family will be prepared to make unseen bumps or detours just another part of the fun.

Berry has one last bit of advice for travelers as they hit the road: "If you set your family trip up for spontaneity by bringing the right items along, even a simple road trip will be a blast," she says. "And remember, skip the schedule - get on the open road and enjoy yourself!"

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING City of Union City Renewal of the Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District Notice is hereby given that at 7:00 p.m. on July 26, 2011, or as soon thereafter as practicable, at City Hall, located at 34009 Alvarado-Niles Road, Union City, California, 94587, the City Council of the City of Union City, California (the “City Council”) will hold a public hearing on the renewal of the City of Union City Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District (the "PBID"), the proposed activities and improvements, the proposed boundaries and the proposed assessment (the "Special Assessment") to be levied on certain property within the PBID. On May 24, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4147-11 (the “Resolution of Intention”) declaring its intention to renew the PBID pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, as amended, commencing with Section 36600 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”), and to levy Special Assessments to finance security and administration services.

The following are types of services to be provided for and financed by the PBID: Dedicated police services and all incidental expenses related thereto including, but not limited to, administrative expenses, labor, materials, equipment and services associated with providing dedicated police services within the PBID. Except where funds are otherwise available, a Special Assessment sufficient to pay for such services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the PBID, will be levied annually within the boundaries of the PBID. Commencing with Fiscal Year 2011/12 a Maximum Special Assessment shall be levied as follows: (1) $80.464879 per Police Service Call; (2) $0.142549 per Building Square Foot; (3) $0.034546 per Lot Square Foot.

For each subsequent fiscal year, the Maximum Special Assessment shall be increased by 4% of the Maximum Special Assessment in effect for the prior fiscal year.

Any taxpayer that believes that the amount of the Special Assessment assigned to a Parcel is in error may file a written notice with the City appealing the levy of the Special Assessment.

The Special Assessment as levied pursuant to the Method of Assessment section of the Engineer's Report, shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the PBID may direct bill the Special Assessment, may collect Special Assessments at a different time or in a different manner if necessary, to meet the financial obligations of the PBID, or as otherwise determined appropriate by the City.

The Special Assessment shall be levied for a period of three years beginning with Fiscal Year 2011/12 and ending with Fiscal Year 2013/14. After the 2013/14 Fiscal Year, the PBID may be renewed.

An assessment ballot proceeding is hereby called on behalf of the City Council on the matter of confirming assessments for any property within the District subject to a new assessment pursuant to Article XIIID of the California Constitution. The assessment ballot proceeding on the matter of authorizing the levy of the assessments, pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution, consists of a ballot and mailed notice, distributed by first class mail to the property owner(s) of record as identified on the last equalized property tax roll of the County of Alameda subject to the proposed assessment. Each property owner's ballot is weighted by the amount of his or her proposed assessment. Each property owner may return the ballot by mail or in person to the City Clerk not later than the conclusion of the Public Hearing on the matter on July 26, 2011. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Clerk and/or an impartial designee shall tabulate the ballots to determine if a majority protest exists. The ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of each affected parcel. A majority protest exists if, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, weighted ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the weighted ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. Provided a majority protest does not exist, the City Council may then renew the District by adopting a resolution to that effect.

At the hearing, the testimony of all interested persons, including all taxpayers or persons owning property in the area, for or against the renewal of the PBID, the furnishing of a specified type or types of public facilities or services, will be heard.

The complete texts of the Resolution of Intention, the Engineer’s Report and the Management District Plan are on file in the office of the City Clerk and available for public inspection.

If you have any questions, please call Sara Mares, Senior Consultant with the City’s consulting firm NBS, at (800) 676-7516.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Thomas Zelt be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 26, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept. 201 located at 2120 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

BY DON THOMPSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP), Jul 05 - Government salary data released by the state controller's office show executives with the state pension fund and the federal receiver's office overseeing inmate medical care are among the highest paid in California.

The top executives with the agency overseeing stem cell research also do well, making more than $500,000 annually.

The controller's office began requesting the data in response to the compensation scandal in the Los Angeles County city of Bell. Residents there voted the entire city council out of office last March after learning that council members and other top officials were giving themselves enormous salaries and pensions.

The database was made public Tuesday. It shows the state's highest paid employee is the chief investment officer of the California Public Employees Retirement System, at $612,000 annually.

Stores find success by focusing on the hunt also hits T.J. Maxx and Marshalls every other week to see what's in stock. She recently picked up a Marc by Marc Jacobs two-piece bathing suit, originally $158, for $39.99.

“Soon enough, you're sure to spot a find like this,” Zaloom says.

When shoppers find these treasures, they want to share them. In the age of social media, peppering shelves with unexpected finds is a way to generate free publicity through tweets or Facebook posts.

Devotees of Trader Joe's post comments on sites like Yelp about interesting new products they've tried. On Twitter, there is a “(hash)MaxxFinds” hashtag that users affix to tweets about cool stuff at T.J. Maxx stores.

“They have these consumers marketing for them,” Mityas says. “If you're a retailer, that's basically the Holy Grail.”

By embracing the treasure hunt, dollar stores have been able to keep the middle-income shoppers they attracted during the recession. Dollar Tree CEO Bob Strasser told analysts the store has taken the opposite approach from Walmart, expanding its assortment of “fun” discretionary products and adding more brand names.

That means more surprises to tempt shoppers.

It's working. Dollar Tree's revenue at stores open at least a year was up 7.1 percent in the most recent quarter. Both traffic and the size of the average transaction increased.

Shoppers learned during the recession that they can find quality products at discount stores, says Lars Perner, assistant professor of clinical marketing

at USC's Marshall School of Business. He says they appreciate the competitive aspect of shopping, too- finding bargains other people may have missed.

At DSW shoe stores, a savvy shopper digging through the clearance section might find Cole Haan snakeskin pumps for half off or white Converse All-Stars for $30. Revenue at DSW stores open at least a year was up 10.8 percent last quarter despite dreary weather that slowed sandal sales.

Trader Joe's is built almost entirely on the treasure hunt.

The privately held company declined to comment on business operations but said 80 percent of its products are private-label foods you can't find anywhere else, like Thai green curry simmer sauce and chili spiced dried mango.

Shopping there is “almost a thrill-seeking experience” - very different from the major food chains, which mostly stock the same stuff, says Sherif Mityas, a partner at AT Kearney, a retail consulting firm.

Victoria LeBlanc Bors of Los Angeles says doesn't even take a shopping list there anymore. She never leaves without extras, like a $10 gold and burgundy orchid. When she's preparing for guests, she cruises the store for interesting finger foods such as Greek spinach pies and chocolatecovered dried cherries.

Because the prices are low, she says she doesn't feel guilty trying new things.

“I'm liable to carry just about anything out of that store,” LeBlanc Bors says. “You buy things that you might not normally buy.”

SUBMITTED BY NAVRAJ BAWA Unitek Education teamed up with California Shock Trauma Air Rescue (CALSTAR) in June to provide Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) students a unique opportunity to participate in an emergency response and air rescue simulation. During the Trauma-Sunday 12-hour drill, a core component of the 14-Day EMT training program, students responded to an emergency call and provided on-scene care for victims of traumatic injury. This included an opportunity to transfer trauma victims for emergency airlift by helicopter.

Mike K., an EMT student participating in the mock casualty scene that included live victims and overturned car wreckage commented, "The hands-on nature of this EMT training gave us the real world confidence to tackle any situation that may be waiting for us in our futures as healthcare providers." In addition to CALSTAR, additional emergency response agencies participating in the mass casualty incident drill included Royal Ambulance, West Med Ambulance, Silicon Valley Ambulance and the Fremont Fire Department.

Mock trauma rescue operations provide vital experience students need to perform successfully in real life rescue operations. Students gain the needed confidence in their abilities to perform when faced with real-life emergencies.

LOS ANGELES (AP), Jul 05 - It seemed Maria Campusano's financial problems were behind her when the mortgage on her Victorian home in a Massachusetts mill town was chopped by hundreds of dollars a month.

She soon learned that her troubles had just begun.

Weeks after making her first payment under the new rate, the school district staffer began receiving past-due notices, documents showing wildly inaccurate loan balances and letters threatening foreclosure. She now fears she'll lose her home.

“How can they take away what I have worked so hard for?”

Campusano said.

Campusano is one of two named plaintiffs in a proposed classaction lawsuit alleging breach of contract by Bank of America NA and subsidiary BAC Home Loans Servicing LP. The suit, which was filed in Los Angeles federal court because BAC is located in nearby Calabasas, is among a growing number of legal complaints accusing banks of disregarding what should be binding agreements to reduce the monthly mortgage payments of troubled borrowers.

The suits involve permanent modifications through the U.S. Treasury-administered Home Affordable Modification Program, which offers incentives to loan servicers who extend modifications, as well as so-called proprietary modifications, which banks offer incontinued on page 31

Borrowers sue over apparent loan mod mishaps continued from page 30 dependently of the government guidelines.

They represent a new wave of complaints against banks that have already weathered years of criticism for their reluctance to modify loans and for foreclosing on borrowers after offering them trial modifications.

Some have faced lawsuits alleging that the foreclosures amounted to a violation of the deal they struck with the government when they accepted funds from the $700 billion Wall Street rescue. And earlier this month, U.S. Treasury officials announced it was withholding incentives from Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. for incorrectly determining that many borrowers were ineligible for HAMP modifications, a claim that the banks denied.

Recently, though, government officials and mortgage lenders have been touting statistics showing an increase in the number of modifications being extended.

The U.S. Treasury said in its April HAMP report, the most recent, that 70 percent of the trial modifications initiated since June 1, 2010 under the program's guidelines have been made permanent, up from 42 percent for trials started before that date.

Meanwhile, the Hope Now group - an association of large banks, mortgage servicers and others - reported that its members had modified 1.8 million loans in 2010, up from 1.2 million modifications in 2009.

But even as troubled borrowers increasingly manage to pry modification deals from reluctant banks, they're finding that problems persist long after the ink dries on their new loan contracts.

The Connecticut Fair Housing Center looked at 655 mortgage modifications granted in recent years to clients of partner organizations in 10 different states and found that nearly a quarter were having problems with inaccurate

balance statements, erroneous default notices and other issues.

Campusano's lawsuit cites remarks from an unidentified former call center worker who said staff received bonuses for collecting more than was due under the modification deals. Attorney Shennan Kavanagh declined to make the worker available, but said the worker would testify or provide a declaration if needed during trial.

However Tracey Seslen, a real estate finance professor at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, said the banks are probably just overwhelmed.

“There's not the kind of manpower for the quality control that's needed to make sure these things don't happen,” he said.

Whether the problems are due to clerical errors, lack of oversight or something nefarious, the impact on homeowners is severe.

Julie Lewis, a 53-year-old mother of four, modified her contract with CitiMortgage Inc. for her Staten Island, N.Y. home after getting a divorce and suffering injuries in a car wreck that kept her from working.

In October 2010, after accepting her modified payments for more than a half year, CitiMortgage told her the modification had been denied, according to documents filed as part of a federal lawsuit in New York.

Bank agents now visit her street to take pictures of her home or hang fliers on her doorknob demanding that she call to discuss purportedly late payments.

“The banks act like bullies,” said Lewis.

CitiMortgage spokesman Mark Rogers said legal restrictions kept him from discussing Lewis' situation.

Also in Staten Island, Merab Abdaladze and Tamar Bibishvili are having problems getting Chase to recognize a HAMP modification that it made permanent in September 2010.

After accepting the couple's first payment under the modified plan,

the bank said the modification was invalid and stopped cashing their checks, according to a motion filed with New York state court. Chase lawyers have since assured the couple's attorney the modification was valid, but the bank still returns their checks uncashed.

Chase spokesman Gary Kishner said he could not comment on pending litigation.

And in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, Nathaniel and Emily Perrone, both 29, saw a missed payment notice appear erroneously on their account statement soon after BAC approved their permanent modification in October 2010.

BAC customer service staffers have repeatedly assured Nathaniel Perrone that the charge was a mistake, but it remains on the account eight months later, along with late fees.

Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton declined to comment on the cases involving the Perrones or Campusano, who are co-defendants in the proposed class-action lawsuit.

Campusano's problems began when she sought to modify a loan she refinanced years earlier to finish repairs to her Victorian-style home in Lawrence, Mass.

The 44-year-old single mother said she wanted to reduce her housing expenses because she was about to begin repaying a graduate school loan and had recently taken in a niece and nephew after the death of her sister.

Campusano made all of her payments under the modification she was granted in April 2010, but three months later received an account statement that misidentified her mortgage as being an interest-only loan. Over the following months, she was sent bills demanding late fees for payments she never owed.

In November, when she called the bank to ask about letters she received threatening foreclosure, she continued on page 33

Homicide suspects named SUBMITTED BY LIEUTENANT BEN HORNER On February 29, 2008 at 6:11 p.m., Union City Police responded to the area of Kennedy Park in Union City to investigate the report of several gunshots heard in the area. When patrol officers arrived they located a vehicle on 12th street near Decoto Road that contained two adult male victims suffering from gunshot wounds. One victim, identified as 28 year old Juan Carlos Gomez, a Hispanic male, died of his injuries at the scene. Gomez was a resident of Hayward. The second victim suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local trauma center.

Initial investigators determined that the shooting took place during a robbery and gangrelated slogans were overheard during the incident.

On Friday, July 1, 2011, Union City Police with assistance from Fremont PD and the Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force, served a series of arrest and search warrants at several residences located within Union City. During the course of this on-going investigation, several Union City residents have been identified as being present and participating in the shooting death of Juan Carlos Gomez.

Currently in custody, charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and participation in a criminal street gang are Union City residents, Noel Cruz, Joel Perry Jr. and Damian Alaniz.

“I'm a very responsible woman and I don't think it's fair to be treated this way by the bank,” she said. “If we signed an agreement, how can I be going through all this?”

BY LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP), Jun 27 Mom Stacey Udell couldn't wait for visitors day when her daughter first went to sleepaway camp at age 9.

“About two hours in she said to me, ‘I think you better leave now. You don't want to get stuck in traffic.’ We had just sat down to lunch.”

Six summers later, Udell thinks the traditional day for parents, grandparents and siblings to check out what their campers are up to is definitely more about the grown-ups than the kids.

“It sets many kids back,” said Udell, whose daughter is now 15 and will return to camp this year with her 13-year-old

brother. “I see a lot of kids crying at the end of visiting day.”

The day isn't only long and hot. Routines for the kids are disrupted and it can feel more about the goodies parents bring along than quality time.

Like Udell's daughter, the kids may be more excited about water fights, cabin pajama parties and special sports tournaments planned to burn energy and distract them the night after parents leave.

As many full-summer programs have been trimmed back from eight weeks to six or seven, are parent visiting days worth the trouble? Absolutely, camp directors said, though some acknowledged most kids could likely live without them.

Every camp has its own policy on whether and when visitors are welcome.

Some with shorter sessions have done away with a single visiting day for all parents and instead invite parents to come for a few hours if and when they can. Some provide two all-camp scheduled dates so divorced parents can visit separately, according to the American Camp Association.

Some camps running fourweek sessions welcome visitors on the last day so parents don't have to make a special trip if they were planning to pick up their kids anyway. Others offer a separate grandparents day or the chance for siblings to spend the night in cabins.

“Often the choice of where

to go to summer camp will hinge in part on combining visitors day with other travel plans. Parents are pretty conscious of how to make it work,” said Chris Thurber, a psychologist and camp staff trainer.

Making it work - and smoothing the way for re-entry into camp life for the kids - depends a lot on making sure parents follow the rules. At some camps, that means honoring guidelines not to haul in an excess of gifts, favorite snacks or banned foods, or following outright prohibitions on care packages of any kind.

To avoid leaving out kids whose families don't plan to show up on visitors day, camps often organize special trips for them off the grounds, such as a

day at a nearby water park or beach. Or they seek volunteer parents who do plan to attend to take on a child left alone.

Campers who experienced homesickness on arrival at camp may have a touch of it again once it's time to say goodbye after a mid-session visitors day, but it usually doesn't last more than a day or two, camp directors said.

Also, anticipation of visitors days can rev up campers ahead of the big event.

Visitors days come on top of camps offering parents glimpses of daily camp life through their websites, complete with video.

That, said camp consultant Scott Arizala, could serve to continued on page 35

The Bookworm A Cultural History of Shoplifting

by Rachel Shteir Your mother said you should be ashamed of yourself. And you were.

Call it a rite of passage. Call it a dare, peer pressure, wanting to seem cool, or just because you were a dumb kid, but when you wrapped your fingers around that first shiny item, palmed it, and walked away, the heartpounding thrill of stealing from a store was incredibly powerful. So was the embarrassment of getting caught.

Fortunately, you gave up your life of crime long ago but that abashed memory still stings. Good thing, too: shame is one way to deal with shoplifters, as you’ll see in “The Steal” by Rachel Shteir.

“Shoplifting today is understudied” says Shteir.

“In fact, what we don’t know about shoplifting does hurt us.”

We do know this: a 2008 study indicates that shoplifting happens a million times a year in the U.S. and that shoplifting accounts for 35% of all shrink (a retail term for “goods lost to theft and error”). That’s almost $12 billion worth of merchandise lost to the “five-finger discount” annually. Guess who pays for that…

Theft is, of course, as old as humanity. Greek and Roman mythology says that several gods were light-fingered. Plato believed that society and the individual were both to blame for theft. When stores and shops were first outfitted with glass windows in the late 1500s, shoplifters were usually “roving bands of men”

who outwitted store clerks by asking to see more and more merchandise while robbing the unfortunate shop owner blind.

Later, prostitution and shoplifting were believed to go hand-in-hand, though some surprisingly well-connected and genteel ladies were known to nick their share of goods. Predictably, Freud had a few things to say about those “lifters” but, surprisingly, today’s men shoplift more than do women.

ice to our public. I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all the team members who were a part of the chief selection process," stated Urban.

Urban, daughter of a former Los Angeles police officer, will be formally appointed and assume her position in early August pending the successful conclusion of a Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) compliant background check required of all California police chiefs accepting a position in a police department other than the one in which they are currently employed. She will become the Bay Area’s eighth female police chief and join 22 other women who head police departments in California.

If you’re a store owner, there’s good news. You can take steps to lessen theft.

Design your shop like a big-box store, with cashwrap close to the exit. Make sure your LP team is properly trained. Pay attention to the body language of your customers and use electronic devices with impunity.

Above all, Shteir says the acknowledgment of one major point will go a long way toward eliminating retail theft: your biggest problem isn’t organized gangs or professional boosters. Your biggest problem is the ordinary shopper.

Feeling pinched by the recession? Yep, that’s one of the predictors of widespread shoplifting, as you’ll see in this lively and unique book.

Starting with Greece and Rome and moving forward to modern malls and Shoplifters Anonymous meetings, author Rachel Shteir is refreshingly nonjudgmental in presenting information in “The Steal.” She doesn’t miss a part of pilfering, though: she writes about heisting in Hollywood, why no one agrees on treatment for kleptomania, how those plastic antitheft devices came to be, and why store detectives are looking at your shoes as you browse.

Shoppers will enjoy this book for its subtle history of retail, but shop owners will get much more from “The Steal.” If you’re a businessperson, in fact, there’s a lot to take away here. c.2011, The Penguin Press $25.95 / $30.00 Canada 257 pages, includes index

Thurber, Coleman and others in the industry offer these tips for parents to help make visitors day a highlight rather than a hassle: ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE: Don't be late. Nothing can kill a camper's spirit faster than scanning the horizon for his tardy parents as reunions are happening all around.

Don't linger at departure time. “It's hard for kids to expect one thing and get another,”

Thurber said. “Don't leave them wondering, ‘I thought my parents had to go at 4, so why are they still here?’”

Parents aren't always great at goodbyes, Coleman said. “Be upbeat and happy. Wear sunglasses if you have to. You can say, ‘I'm glad that you're having a great time. It was so great to see you here.' Keep it short and sweet and don't get overly emotional and clingy.”

DON'T BRING ARMLOADS OF STUFF: “The kids don't like being overindulged,” Coleman said. “They feel uncomfortable about it. Extravagance doesn't fit into the camp environment. It doesn't feel right. They've spent a whole

I wonder how many were fooled by the Fremont City Council when it approved the expenditure of more than a 1/2 million taxpayer dollars on July 13, 2010.

KNOW THE RULES: Camp consultant Jill Tipograph suggests double-checking the camp's lunch policy. Will lunch be served, or do parents bring a picnic lunch? Are there food restrictions on camp grounds due to allergies or candy bans?

If you're allowed to take your child out of camp, make sure you check when you have to return them and plan some in-town activities beforehand.

Other City employees are not far behind and this all adds up.

Hefty compensation allows them to continue "perception is more important than substance" activities.

Even though taxpayers have contributed for years to the Teen Center - most with the understanding that this would be used as a Teen Center - the City will not share it or even use it to help simplify the development of a skateboard park.

After taking the former Teen Center, the City passed an increase of their fee schedule on April 5, 2011 and included the Teen Center patio.

I read about the two men who are making a pilgrimage to all the missions in California with interest. I am writing to correct the name of the mission as it appears in the story (TCV July 5, 2011).

Fremont's mission was founded by Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen in 1797 and given the formal name of "La Mision del Gloriosisimo Patriarca Senor San Jose." Translated, the name is "The Mission of the Most Glorious Patriarch Lord Saint Joseph."

Thus the full name of our local mission is not Mission San Jose de Guadalupe. The Pueblo of San Jose was located near the Guadalupe River. Early writers may have confused the location of the mission with the pueblo (city) and began adding "de Guadalupe" to the name.

After Father William Abeloe, an expert on California mission history, was installed as pastor of St. Joseph Parish on June 11,

1977, he removed the sign "Mission San Jose de Guadalupe" from in front of the mission museum. He then began an intensive campaign to remove "de Guadalupe" from the mission name because, he said, it was never officially part of the mission's name.

Since Father Abeloe's death in 1982, Dolores Ferenz, executive administrator of the mission museum, has continued the campaign. Even after 34 years "de Guadalupe" still gets attached to the Mission San Jose name, often because people use books and reference materials that have the incorrect name.

The people of Fremont should be proud of Mission San Jose, the 14th in the Alta California chain of 21 missions and the only one in Alameda County.
