BY FRANCISCO VARA-ORTA SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS SAN ANTONIO (AP), On a recent evening, Pecan Valley Elementary School Principal Merrill Ramsey, dressed in a formal white shirt and black bow tie, greeted students and their parents near the entrance to the school cafeteria to escort them into the “restaurant.” About 20 teachers dressed as waiters bustled around tables covered in white cloths, taking orders from about 50 students in pre-K through third grade and their families. The main course wasn't edible, though it was food for
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
thought. On the menu were books, just books, all available for “takeout.” At the “Reading Restaurant,” students and their families decide what to order, and a teacher comes over to read their selection with those at the table. Later they take books home. While it mimics a fancy dining room and bookstore – both in short supply near Pecan Valley – the restaurant is an unconventional approach to literacy. “I think elementary school is a critical time where you can help kids learn to love books,” said Lauri Peters, a dyslexia specialist at the school for 24 years.
“So doing ‘Reading Restaurant’ helps put books in hands of a lot of families that don't possibly have books at home to share with their children.” It also reinforces the message that parents need to read to and with their children, making it a priority in the home. “I think allowing them to choose their book gets them motivated,” Peters said. “I get goose bumps because reading is my love and the goal is to make reading fun. And watching parents reading with their kids gives me a positive feeling of what we can do when we all get involved.” Peters recently won a $1,000 grant from the Association of the Texas Professional Educators to fund the restaurant, now in its fifth year. The school in East Central Independent School District can't afford the once-a-year event, so Peters wins grants. “It really is an example of teachers taking matters into their own hands,” Ramsey said. “More educators and administrators are going to have to seek out
those additional funds if we were going to do programs like these.” East Central has avoided massive layoffs, but Pecan Valley has lost funding for some staffing positions, such as an assistant vice principal and paraprofessionals. Three Pecan Valley teachers have won grants to supplement their programs this year, Ramsey said. With this year's grant, Peters was able to buy about 300 books to give away. To save money for books, teachers have recycled their “waiter” costumes over the years. Across the state, districts cut library services to cope with a $5.4 billion cut in state funding. Federally funded programs, such as Reading is Fundamental, which has provided money for free book giveaways at districts nationwide, have lost their funding and will end at many local high-need districts this year. At the same time, local civic leaders are touting literacy. San Antonio has signed on to the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, competing with 150
April 13, 2012
cities developing communitywide literacy plans to improve third-grade reading achievement, when most research indicates students should know how to read well to ensure future academic success. Various programs have been launched to ramp up the local efforts, including reading centers at some H-E-B stores. “Getting the parents just to come to the school is important because many parents might have had a bad experience in school and they don't feel comfortable in a school,” Ramsey said. “So this event shows we can have fun with them, they get to know staff better and seem more willing to work with us.” The restaurant is only open one hour a year. At closing time, every child in the room strolled up to a table full of books – from Dr. Seuss' classics to “Curious George” – selected one and headed home to start spring break.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Tri-City Voice Newspaper Needs Your Help There has been fantastic community support We qualify for adjudication and have filed to go to court. The bad news is the Bay Area News Group/MediaNews has filed to stop us again and they have filed to change the judge. The Bay Area News Group MediaNews is trying to convince the Judge not to let us go to court. Bay Area News Groups opposition is based on maintaining a financial monopoly. We need a judge to allow us to present our case. We need the community to go to court to observe and show support for Tri-City Voice.
We will give you the court information as soon as we get it.
Qualifications to become a “Newspaper of General Circulation” are quite simple. A portion of the California Government Code that outlines one method of “adjudication” is Section 6000. Tri-City Voice easily meets all of these requirements. The code states: A “newspaper of general circulation” is a newspaper published for the dissemination of local or telegraphic news and intelligence of a general character, which has a bona fide subscription list of paying subscribers, and has been established, printed and published at regular intervals in the State, county, or city where publication, notice by publication, or official advertising is to be given or made for at least one year preceding the date of the publication, notice or advertisement. Listed in order, the following are the requirements… 1) Distribute news of general interest…TCV qualifies 2) Have a valid paid subscription list…TCV qualifies 3) Printed and published in the City of Fremont for at least one year… TCV qualifies That’s it! Those are the requirements under Section 6000 to become a Newspaper of General Circulation.

SUBMITTED BY ALAMEDA COUNTY WOMEN’S HALL OF FAME Four East Bay charities received $2,500 each from proceeds raised by the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame awards program, which honored 11 local women March 30, 2012 for their
outstanding contributions to improve the quality of life in our local communities. A packed house of nearly 500 people turned out for the event, co-sponsored by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the County’s Commission on the Status of Women. Highlights included passion-
ate remarks by Oakland real estate agent Oral Lee Brown, who has helped underwrite the college educations of more than 200 youth from some of Oakland’s most under-served neighborhoods on her own and through her foundation. “I do this because I believe education offers the chance for
a young person to live a life rather than just exist,’’ Brown said as she received rousing applause for her work. Alameda County Administrator Susan S. Muranishi, the event co-chair, brought more cheer to the festivities when she presented a $2,000 youth scholarship to 17-year-old
Arooj Haq, a senior at San Leandro High School. Her eyes rimmed with tears, Arooj said the money would be put to good use as she plans to begin studying toward a nursing degree at UC Santa Barbara in the fall. Funds raised by the Women’s Hall of Fame program paid for the scholarship as well as $2,500 donations to the East Oakland Youth Development Center, the Davis Street Family Resource Center, Sojourner Truth Housing and the Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment. Saturday’s luncheon featured a raffle drawing, silent auction and live jazz by a quintet of teen-age musicians who study at the JazzSchool in Berkeley. The talented youths performed several numbers with their director, the acclaimed Oakland saxophonist Kasey Knudsen. Nine other women were inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame in addition to Brown, who was inducted in the education category; and Arooj, the Youth category inductee. The other women honored on Saturday were: Terry Alderete of Newark, Business and Professions; Barbara Bernstein of Berkeley, Community Service; Mildred Howard of Berkeley, Culture and Art; Connie Galambos Malloy of Oakland, Environment; Pamela Arbuckle Alston, DDS, of Oakland, Health; Jocelyn Larkin of Berkeley, Justice; Nicole Taylor of Oakland, Philanthropy; Dawn Shaughnessy of Livermore, Science; and Debby De Angelis of Hayward, Sports and Athletics.

Project shows children will eat healthier food ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY TAWNEY WARREN
I
n an unusual nutritional study, third-grade students Emma Warren and Camryn Ambur from Mattos Elementary School in Fremont showed that kids would eat healthier foods, and even prefer them, if presented in a tasty manner. For their Science Fair project this year, the girls tested 211 students, grades K-6, in
brownies. There was a noticeable difference in texture from regular brownies because of the reduced oil, but they still tasted like brownies. The findings from the surveys show that even though the majority of kids could tell which brownie was healthier, nearly 80 percent of them said they would eat the healthier brownie if their parents made them. Furthermore, many of the kids who said they didn’t like to eat vegetables picked the regular brownie as the healthier
(Left to right): Emma Warren and Camryn Ambur pose with their Science Fair project board.
a double-blind taste test of regular brownies and healthier brownies using a recipe from “The Sneaky Chef”©™ cookbook by Missy Lapine (http://www.thesneakychef.com). “We did a double-blind study so we wouldn’t influence any of the taste testers,” explained Emma. Specifically, the girls helped bake, then bag the brownie samples, and one of the mom’s labeled the samples so the girls wouldn’t know which brownie sample was A or B. This way they wouldn’t influence anyone participating in the survey. The study is unusual because it involves kids testing kids. With some guidance from Emma’s mom Tawney Warren, the girls tried out a brownie recipe that included wheat germ, baby spinach, and blueberries. “It didn’t sound good to us, but we were willing to try it,” said Camryn. The girls made some sample batches, tasted them, and were surprised that they still tasted like
brownie, and said the healthier brownie tasted better. The girls effectively showed that if parents add extra nutrition in this way, kids would eat it. This is exciting news for millions of families with picky eaters. The girls have concluded that if parents make it, most kids will eat it. The girls have set up a Facebook page and are hoping to inspire kids in every state to try this project at their schools. To join in on the conversation, or to find out how to do a project like this at your school, you can access their Facebook page at http://www.brainybrowniekids.com Find “sneaky” recipes at Missy Lapine’s website: http://www.thesneakychef.com including the recipe for Brainy Brownies. Sneak more nutrition into your kids’ food for their own good! For more information contact Tawney Warren at: tawney_warren@hotmail.com

AP WIRE SERVICE ROME (AP), – Since the start of the month it has been illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Naples in southern Italy. Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-in-cheek decree because the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one – creating a logistical problem about what to do with the deceased. The mayor told newspapers that villagers are content. “The ordinance has brought happiness,” he was quoted Tuesday as saying. “Unfortunately, two elderly citizens disobeyed.”

BY BOB MOEN ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFORD, Wyo. (AP), Buford is a small place for sure, but so is the world. A remote, unincorporated area along busy Interstate 80 that advertised itself as the smallest town in the United States, Buford was sold at auction for $900,000 on Thursday to an unidentified man from Vietnam. Its owner for the last 20 years, Don Sammons, served with the U.S. Army as a radio operator in 1968-69. After meeting the buyer, an emotional Sammons said it was hard for him to grasp the irony of the situation. “I think it's funny how things come full circle,” he said. The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer's plans for Buford.

It will take about 30 days for all the paperwork to be completed before ownership of the place located almost equidistant between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming changes hands, Sammons said. The new owner will get a gas station and convenience store, a schoolhouse from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres, and a three-bedroom home at 8,000 feet altitude – overlooking the trucks and cars on the nearby interstate on one side and the distant snowcapped mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado on the other. The town traces its origins to the 1860s and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Buford had as many as 2,000 residents before the railroad was rerouted. Sammons, who moved to the Buford area about 30 years ago from Los Angeles to get away from the busy city life, bought the trading post on Jan. 31, 1992. He
plans to retire from his unofficial title as “mayor” and write a book about his experiences in Buford, he said. “I felt my time here has been very happy for me, and hopefully the new owner will be able to enjoy what I've enjoyed over the years – conversations with people, the uniqueness of the area and so on – and keep the history alive,” Sammons said. As workers boarded up the windows of the convenience store behind her, Rozetta Weston, a broker with a Cheyenne real estate auction company that represented the buyer, said the buyer was excited to own a “piece of the United States.” But she declined to discuss the buyer's future plans for Buford. Weston said the buyer and a companion arrived in Wyoming – their first trip to the United States – on Monday, touring Cheyenne and the University of Wyoming at Laramie before the auction. Williams & Williams Co. of Tulsa, Okla., conducted the auction on a sunny, windy day outside the trading post, which has been closed since Dec. 31. The number of bidders was not released. Dozens of people, including some of the 125 residents who live in remote areas and get their mail at the outdoor post office boxes on the property, showed up for the event. Officials with Williams & Williams stood out in their business suits among the locals dressed in jeans and western attire. Inside the convenience store, most of the candy, snacks, pop, beer and all the Marlboro cigarettes had been sold off already. Bags of charcoal, whistles made from animal antlers and dozens of T-shirts proclaiming Buford as the smallest town in the United States remained unsold. Wearing a weather beaten cowboy hat, Gary Crawford, who lives about 4.5 miles northeast of the trading post – “Post Office Box 7” – said the trading post is important to the surrounding residents who mostly live on widely scattered ranches. “At different times, this has been a community gathering place where you caught up with your neighbors and shoot the breeze, learn what's going on, who is around,” Crawford said. He looked forward to meeting the new owner. “I think we may have very nice, new neighbors,” he said.

New Haven rallies for Measure H SUBMITTED BY MICHAEL RITCHIE PHOTO BY ROBERT SINGER More than 1,000 students, parents, teachers and staff held a march and rally on the morning of March 30 in support of the Measure H Parcel Tax (June election) to help New Haven District Schools. The rally began at James Logan High School and supporters marched 2.5 miles to the Union Landing Shopping Center. After the rally, there were speeches by students and local government officials. Supporters state the following reasons when urging a “yes” vote on Measure H: Funds from Measure H will help local schools prepare our children for college and careers with outstanding core academic programs in reading, writing, math and science and highly qualified teachers and staff. Measure H authorizes local school funding that can’t be taken or cut by Sacramento politicians. Measure H will: Provide high-quality college preparation classes and programs to prepare students for jobs and careers, Provide quality academics to help students excel in core subjects such as math, science and English, Attract and retain quality teachers, Minimize stateimposed budget cuts, including lost classroom time for students and class-size increases that impact our youngest children, Ensure that our schools continue to offer a well-rounded education, including after-school activities that help kids stay on track, Keep schools clean and safe. Measure H won’t prevent all cuts imposed by continuing budget problems in Sacramento, but it will help significantly by providing local resources that cannot be lost to our children by political games in Sacramento. All funds raised by Measure H will stay local, protecting our children’s future. By law, Measure H funds cannot be taken away by the state or spent on administrator salaries. An independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee will monitor expenditures to ensure funds are spent as promised. Exemptions will be available to senior citizens and disabled residents on fixed incomes. Good local schools improve home values. Measure H is good for our entire community. Take a positive step to protect New Haven children. Please - VOTE YES on H. For more information about Measure H, please email NewHavenCares@aol.com or call (510) 441-3074.

ou dream of traveling the world but don’t know where to start. Traveling can be expensive and you have no idea how to get around on your own. This is the same way I felt as a young undergraduate student before learning about a study abroad program to Cambridge University offered through Ohlone College. “My whole world changed, and it changed for the better. A decade later I am still in contact with my host family and friends from around the world. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! There are many misconceptions about studying abroad. Programs are no longer exclusive to the wealthy. Study abroad participants vary in age from young adults to retirees. Programs run from as long as a year to as little as a week. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling the world, a study abroad program can be the step in the right direction. Look at a variety of programs and decide what factors are important to you. Are you looking for a long- or short-term study abroad program? What region of the world excites your interest? How much structure versus free time would you prefer during a program? For decades Ohlone College has served as the wings of flight for many students. Participants have climbed the Harbor Bridge in Sydney, Australia, studied theatre in London, England, and visited global corporations in Shanghai, China. In June last year, I led a three-week Global Business Immersion study abroad program to China. Ten participants visited over a dozen businesses, including the American Chamber of Commerce, Bao Steel, Deloitte, and General Electric. The program included a variety of cultural visits in Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxi, China. This year Ohlone College is offering our community opportunities to: study European business in Ireland (August 2012), tour the breathtaking Iguazu Falls in Argentina (January 2013), and develop your creative process studying art and literary destinations in London and Paris (June 2013). Experience what the world has to offer. Visit www.ohlone.edu/studyabroad or contact Candice Nance at CNance@ohlone.edu and get started on filling your passport, one stamp at a time.

SUBMITTED BY RENEE LORENTZEN The City of Milpitas' Phantom Art Gallery debuts a new exhibit in the Milpitas Library, "Images of Ladakh" by local artist Tony Sehgal, through June 14. The photographs in the exhibit were taken during a five-day visit to Ladakh, the goal according to Sehgal being “to depict the diversity and beauty of this remote and seldom seen part of the world.” “During the summer of 2011 I traveled to Ladakh, an arid and mountainous re-
gion in northern India. Ladakh resides in the Himalayan mountain range in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. My base was the city of Leh, Ladakh’s most populous
city, situated at about 12,000 feet. Ladakh is home to numerous Buddhist monasteries that retain their rich cultural heritage and architectural character,” says Sehgal. “The region is also home to Khardung La, one of the highest motorable roads in the world at 17,582 feet. Another spectacular feature of Ladakh is Pangong Tso, an endorheic lake that extends from India to Tibet. Its clear blue waters greet the adventurer after a mountainous five hour drive from Leh. Stunning fertile valleys along the way, juxtaposed with snow covered mountain peaks make for breathtaking views.” Sehgal is a Bay Area photographer and digital media professional. His past exhibits have focused on the Indian subcontinent and the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. Sehgal is a graduate of the Stanford Documentary Film Program, and has worked as a video producer and streaming media technologist for several Bay Area companies. His photographic interests focus on landscapes, people, and sports. Sehgal’s recent travels to Death Valley, California, have rekindled his interest in natural landscapes and black and white photography. More images from Sehgal’s show and travels relative to this exhibit can be found at http://www.pygmymammoth.com within the “Travel” gallery. Photographs are available for purchase from the website

Going from pup to grandpup doesn't leave much prime time under American Veterinary Medical Association labels that cats and small dogs are geriatric at 7 – and large dogs at 6. But not everyone agrees, and rescuers say those definitions can be a death sentence to older animals in need of homes.

Dr. Emily Pointer, staff internist and medical coordinator at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York, said she considers the last third of life the sunset years. “That seems fairly crazy,” she said of the AMVA designations. “I would never consider a person in their 40s or 50s to be senior.'' The AVMA said the oldest cat on record was 34, the oldest dog was 29. Forget the notion that seven dog years equal one human year, the

A 7-year-old dog weighing less than 50 pounds is like a 44to 47-year-old human; 10 equals 56to 60-year-old humans; 15 is like a 76- to 83-year-old; and 20 is like a 96- to 105-year-old human, the group said.

go the distance for their pets, Pointer said. “In the past, if your cat was diagnosed with diabetes, the recommendation was probably to euthanize the cat. Now, a lot fewer people are willing to do that because it's a treatable disease,” Pointer said. Kristin Dewey of Los Angeles has an 18-year-old Ragdoll cat named Cokie. He fell from an 80-foot palm tree 16 years ago and seemed OK until four years ago when something temporarily paralyzed him and left him incontinent.
“Indoor-only cats that are loved and treated like family start to get old around 15 but can still live good lives until 19 or more. They may be a little creaky and have some health issues, but so do we all,” Dewey said. Pointer agreed: “Well-loved pets live longer than unloved pets.” “We find that most dogs become geriatric after age 12, and that at 12-ish they are like humans at 65,” said Judith Piper, founder and executive director of the rescue continued on page 28

6-legged Swiss calf uncowed by disability AP WIRE SERVICE GENEVA (AP), A six-legged calf has defied the odds by thriving despite a vet's prediction at birth that it wouldn't survive.
Seven-week-old Lilli is now a minor celebrity in her native Switzerland after local media were splashed with images of the calf frolicking across a sunny field.
Farmer Andreas Knutti from Weissenburg, which is 19 miles (30 kilometers) south of the capital Bern, says he couldn't bring himself to euthanize the animal because she
was “so full of life.” He told Swiss daily Blick Thursday that a curve in her spine means Lilli may never become a normal milk cow.
But Knutti says if the calf stays healthy she'll still be allowed to join the others when they head for their Alpine pastures this summer.

Newspapers erect pay walls in hunt for new revenue BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP BUSINESS WRITER LOS ANGELES(AP),Newspapers are returning to a business strategy that served them well in the heyday of street-corner newsboys shouting the front-page news. They're enticing people with a little free online content before asking them to pay up. After years of offering news for free, a growing number of newspapers around the country have launched so-called metered pay walls, which give readers a few free stories online before requiring them to sign up for a digital subscription. About 300 newspapers have adopted such plans, which usually give subscribers some mix of Web, smartphone and tablet computer access. “A lot of our customers are telling us, ‘that's fair,’” says Rob Gursha, vice president of consumer marketing at the Star Tribune, a 300,000-circulation daily in Minneapolis. In November, the newspaper began charging people as much as $1.99 a week for online access after they have looked at 20 stories for free. If a reader pays for
the Sunday newspaper in print, however, online access can be as little as 30 cents a week. Nearly 20,000 readers have signed up. For newspapers like the Star Tribune, it's a second chance at digital success. As the Internet gained in popularity in the 1990s, newspapers decided to give away news on their websites while continuing to charge readers for print editions. By keeping online editions free, publishers hoped to gain enough readers to attract Web advertising. But as readers flocked to free news on websites, many of them canceled their print subscriptions. And online advertising hasn't generated enough revenue to make up for the combined declines in print subscriptions and print advertising. Fewer than a quarter of the nation's 1,350 daily newspapers charge for online access so far, but industry executives are increasingly optimistic pay walls can boost digital revenue. Newspapers take different approaches and have different price structures. Some set a limit on the number of stories and some on the number of page views. But there's little doubt executives are hoping pay walls will
spur a turnaround in the industry. As publishers and media executives gather in Washington this week at the Newspaper Association of America's annual meeting, the question of how to increase digital revenue is front and center. Attendees will take part in panel discussions and lectures such as “New Revenue Models and Strategies” and “Reaching Young Readers: Digital Tips From the Digitally Savvy.” They'll trade notes on how to develop applications for tablet computers and smartphones. And they'll talk about ways to derive new forms of revenue from tablets and e-readers such as the iPad and Kindle. “We're really looking at innovation and execution,” says NAA president Caroline Little. On their own, online pay walls won't make up for the print advertising revenue the industry has lost the past decade. Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst with The Poynter Institute, which offers training for journalists, in St. Petersburg, Fla., says calling 2012 a turning point for newspapers and digital revenue is a “little strong.” But, he says, pay walls are one of many salves for easing the indus-
try's pain. Already, they have helped shore up circulation of weekend newspapers because many weekend subscriptions come with online access included. That's important because the Sunday edition is the most profitable for most newspapers. In their quest for digital revenue, many publishers have turned to Press+, a company started by entrepreneur Steven Brill and former Wall Street Journal publisher Gordon Crovitz that helps newspapers build and operate pay walls. The company says it has launched pay walls for 292 U.S. newspapers. Of course, convincing readers to pay for something that was once free isn't easy. Brill recommends publishers give away enough free page views so that only the heaviest users are asked to pay. “You ease them into the idea that they're going to be asked to pay,” Brill says. “It works much better than an abrupt message.” Many readers who realize they're about to hit their limit sign up early to save themselves the hassle, he says. On average, a subscriber gained through Press+ pays $6.50 a month, of which Press+
keeps 20 percent. The New York Times Co., which is not a Press+ client, served as a model for the rest of the industry. The Times says 454,000 people have signed up for digital access to the Times and International Herald Tribune in the year since it started charging. It is cutting free access from 20 to 10 pages a month starting this month. The Times charges as much as $35 a month for full access to its content. This isn't the Times' first attempt at a pay wall. In 2005, the company launched TimesSelect, which fenced off premium news stories and commentary by Times columnists including Maureen Dowd, Joe Nocera, and Thomas Friedman. Readers paid $7.95 a month or $49.95 a year to read TimesSelect content. The company ended TimesSelect in 2007, explaining that it could generate more revenue by making content available for free and supporting it with advertising. Under its recent pay wall plan, the Times' digital and print circulation revenue grew 5 percent to $242 million in the final quarter of 2011. That helped blunt the im-

pact of an ad revenue drop of 7 percent to $359 million. Overall revenue was down 3 percent. That success, although with one of the best brands in journalism, has prompted others to follow suit, including some of Lee Enterprises Inc.'s 52 newspapers, and some of Tribune Co.'s 12 newspapers, which include the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. Gannett Co. Inc., publisher of USA Today, said in February that it would expand its online pay walls from six test markets to all 80 of its small-market newspapers by the end of the year. The company is limiting free access to five to 15 stories a month depending on the market, and offering free digital access with at least a Sunday print subscription. At the same time, Gannett is raising single-copy prices – sometimes by doubling them – and raising subscription prices by as much as a third
for its printed newspapers. Combined with the digital push, the company expects its changes to add $100 million in annual profit. Gannett says that by bundling digital access with paid print subscriptions, enough people will keep subscribing at the higher subscription price to more than offset the loss of revenue from those who cancel because of the price hike. That assumption is proving true in Gannett's six test markets. The News Journal in Wilmington, Del., for example, is now charging $15 a month for a digital and print subscription, up from one offer of $12.75 for print only. The early reaction to the change is positive, says Bob Dickey, president of Gannett's U.S. community publishing division. “This is a turning point for us,” Dickey says. “What we are saying is our content has great value and it
serves a great purpose. The consumers have told us that.” Newspapers that have tried a pay wall say online visits decrease – at first. The Star Tribune's online page views dropped by up to 15 percent before rebounding to pre-pay wall levels within a few weeks, says Gursha. Lee's Billings Gazette saw traffic fall by a quarter and then bounce back within a few months. The Dallas Morning News took a slightly different approach when it installed what's known as a “leaky pay wall” in March last year. Editors tag exclusive or premium stories and reserve them for paying subscribers, while giving all other stories away for free. Although the move reduced online traffic by about a third, the newspaper has seen a steady flow of new digital subscribers, says Morning News publisher Jim Moroney. Print circulation revenue, meanwhile, also has gone up.
Obama signs small business legislation BY KEN THOMAS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP), –President Barack Obama signed bipartisan jobs legislation Thursday that will help small businesses and make it easier for startups to raise capital, saying it could be a “gamechanger” for entrepreneurs dreaming of founding the next Microsoft or Facebook. “When their ideas take root, we get inventions that can change the way we live,” Obama said in the Rose Garden, flanked by lawmakers of both parties who backed the bill. “And when their businesses take off, more people become employed.” He said the initiatives in the bill paralleled many of the provisions that he sought last fall in his jobs agenda to encourage small-business growth. Republicans, who promoted the pro-small business ideas in the House, joined Obama at the signing ceremony, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Sen. Scott Brown, RMass., whose seat has been targeted by Democrats, also looked on as Obama signed the bill into law. “This bill represents exactly the kind of bipartisan action we should be taking in Washington to help our economy,” Obama said.
Cantor, speaking to reporters after the ceremony, said the bill was aimed at “the problem that we face in America today which is that our economy is lagging and our small businesses are having too hard of a time getting up off the ground.” Some Democrats, however, raised concerns that the bill softened investment protections enacted after the dot.com excesses and Wall Street meltdowns and the changes could lead to fraud and abuse. Speaking to an audience that included small business owners, Obama indicated he's aware of those concerns and has directed top officials to “keep a close eye” on how it goes into effect. The main part of the bill would phase in Securities and Exchange Commission regulations over a five-year period to let smaller companies go public sooner. Firms that have annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion would enjoy this “emerging growth company” status. The legislation may be one of the few accomplishments for a Congress stymied by partisan divisions heading into the fall elections. The bill combines a number of bipartisan bills that exempt newer companies from SEC reporting rules in
order to reduce costs and red tape. Another provision facilitates the practice of “crowd-funding” in which the Internet is used to solicit a large number of smaller investors. Senate Democrats were unsuccessful in their efforts to add more investor protections but succeeded in attaching one provision that requires websites involved in crowd-funding to register with the SEC. It also demands that companies seeking to raise money this way provide information on its financial status, business plans and shareholder risks. Sara Hanks, a securities attorney and co-founder of CrowdCheck, a company aimed at helping startups, said the crowd-funding element will help make it easier for small companies to access capital but warned it will be up to investors and entrepreneurs “to protect themselves from deals that are too good to be true.” In addition to the emerging growth company and crowd-funding provisions, the legislation removes SEC regulations preventing small businesses from using advertisements to attract investors and raises from 500 to 2,000 the number of shareholders a company or community bank can have before it must register with the SEC.

both sides kept the game close until the 8th inning when the Eagles were able to score the winning run. The Irvington Vikings had their hands full with Foothill,
losing 10-4. With a shortened schedule due to rain, the tournament had no clear outcome. The games played gave clues to this season, but nothing conclusive.
On the Irvington side, the Vikings achieved their fourth straight winning game this season and look to continue their streak. In the previous season, in a great team performance at Division I North Coast Sectional playoffs, they upset sixthseed Monte Vista in eight innings before beating fellow underdog Bishop O’Dowd in 10 innings. Irvington eventu-
ally lost to Division I champion James Logan, 8-4. This year, the Vikings need captain Mark Mathias to perform well and help improve on their low hitting average.

The Mission San Jose (MSJ) varsity baseball team played three games on consecutive days in three different cities last week. MSJ first traveled to Antioch to face a strong Deer Valley high school team who is ranked near the top of NCS Division I. They then faced Liberty High School in Brentwood, followed by same-city rivals Kennedy High School. MSJ sent their junior ace Brandon Facha to the mound in an attempt to silence the Deer Valley bats. Overall, Facha pitched well enough to keep MSJ in the game but two runs proved to be the difference as MSJ ended up losing 4-2, dropping their record to 7-3-1. MSJ next played Liberty
High School in Brentwood. Liberty came into the game with a 3-6 record but played a solid game and handed MSJ their second consecutive loss by a 7-4 score. Mission took an early 3-0 lead but Liberty outscored MSJ 7-1 the rest of the way to claim the victory. MSJ pitcher Chris Donoghue took the mound for MSJ but could not hold the early 3-0 lead as Liberty reached him for three runs in the second inning to tie the score with the key play being an error by MSJ third baseman Brandon Fuhs to start the inning that ultimately led to an unearned run. Liberty scored four more runs in the fourth inning as Donoghue walked two batters and allowed three base hits before he was replaced by Havard who retired two batters to quell the
rally. Again, MSJ bats were unable to come up with clutch twoout hits as they left a total of seven runners in scoring position during the contest. In more friendly confines of their home field against Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) rival Kennedy High School, MSJ bats rapped out 12 hits and forced Kennedy to commit eight errors in an 11-3 victory. MSJ hurler Kyle Welker was the benefactor of the 11-run outburst. Even though he shut down the Kennedy bats through the first five innings, Welker’s erratic control resulted in five walks and three hits giving Kennedy excellent scoring opportunities but the slinging side-armer had just enough to keep Kennedy off the board and helped his own cause as he started a slick 1-6-3 double play in the fourth inning.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD April 10 An 18 year-old victim called us at 5 p.m. to report that at around noon he cashed his paycheck and walked toward home on Eggers. Two suspects confronted him and demanded his cash. They kicked and punched him several times, leaving visible injuries, before leaving with the money. Officer Lobue investigated. During the day, unknown suspect(s) kicked open a locked door and gained entry at 40600 block of Fremont Boulevard. Two rooms were ransacked. Some cash and jewelry were stolen. CSO Allen investigated. The reporting party was house-sitting for his in-laws at 3000 Mission View Drive and discovered that the home had been burglarized within the past week. Officer Tarango investigated. A clerk at C&C Liquors called to report that a male claiming to have a gun attempted to rob him. The clerk said the male was next door at the 7-11 on Delaware. Officer Edwards was passing by as the call came out, and immediately spotted the described subject at the 7-11. The male refused to follow commands and was telling the other patrons they couldn't leave. It appeared as if he wanted to run. Officer Edwards directed other officers in. After a few moments of indecision, the suspect, a 29 year-old male, made a run for it and was introduced to K-9 Timo. After the dust settled, we learned that although the suspect was screaming he had a gun, he never actually attempted to rob the liquor store. The suspect was sent to the hospital for a dog bite and a psychological evaluation. April 11 Officers responded to a “panic alarm” at a business on the 3900 block of Washington Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers contacted employees and confirmed that a robbery had just occurred. The suspects were armed with a handgun. Officers stopped several subjects, but ultimately the suspects successfully fled the scene undetected. Patrol, detectives and members of the Street Crimes Unit assisted with the investigation. CSO Allen located a stolen vehicle and saw two black males associated with the vehicle walk from Taco Bell into the north doors of Safeway
at the Hub Shopping Center. Several units set up and a K9 search was conducted in Safeway but the suspects were not located. Four residential burglary reports were taken during the shift: 3600 block Turner Court 4800 block Coco Palm Drive 4900 block Creekwood Drive 4400 block Rosoli Terrace April 12 Employees at the GameStop Store (Fremont Hub) called to report that they had just been robbed by two males. The suspects used a handgun during the crime and stole cash and several gaming systems, then fled toward the center of the shopping center. Several officers were close by and Sgt. O’Connell was able to locate the suspects as they fled from the scene in a vehicle (Wheeler/Sundale) and detain one suspect; the other suspect fled on foot. A perimeter was set and after a short period, Officer Manrique spotted the remaining suspect attempting to flee in the flood control canal on the north side of Kennedy H.S. The suspects were identified by the witnesses/victims. The loss and weapon (pellet gun) was recovered. Officer Piol and Officer Tran conducted the investigation. Kaiser called to report they had just spoken to a patient (M45), who wanted medication. During the call the patient said he was armed (unknown weapon) and wouldn’t hesitate to kill himself or someone else. He told the RP that he was walking toward Kaiser Fremont or WTH. Officers worked the call for over an hour, checking the area, doing background work to find Fremont ties, etc. Eventually Hostage Negotiator Huiskens was able to speak to him on the phone. He apologized and claimed he was in South San Francisco. We have so far been able to locate him. Homeowner reports a subject in a hoodie is on the front porch of a residence on Gatewood Street, knocking lightly on the door. The subject took the screen off the front window and opened the window. The homeowner armed himself with a .45 and waited in the hallway with his family in the back room. Units arrived and searched the house and yards with negative results. Residential burglaries: 42200 Palm Avenue Rancho Sol Apartments 35600 Terrace Drive
Union City Police Log SUBMITTED BY UC PD April 2 An officer on routine patrol in the area of the Crowne Plaza Hotel located on Alvarado Niles Road saw two subjects throwing rocks at parked vehicles in the parking lot. The officer attempted to contact the subjects, but they both ran away. Additional officers responded and eventually apprehended the subjects and arrested them for vandalism. April 3 A patient arrived at a local medical clinic with bruises all over her body. She is developmentally disabled and medical staff alerted UCPD. The patient was taken to a special interviewing center to determine if the injuries were inflicted in a criminal nature. The investigations section is following up on the case.
We see it throughout our country, no matter where we travel, where we visit; the signs of graffiti seem to have infiltrated every walk of life. From a rail car, to the side of a building, to school yards and some of the most unimaginable places; we find graffiti. Regardless of the “quality” and yes, some can be very creative; graffiti is a significant drain on public resources. The process to remove these drawings or "tags” can be very time consuming to remove, requiring expensive materials and effort that could be spent elsewhere. The inherent problem is that one act of graffiti encourages many acts of graffiti. Whether it is a territorial issue or just simply one’s ego driving them to outdo others, it is rare that other graffiti marks or “tags" don't begin showing up around or even on top of the first incident. This compounds the problem, increases the overall unattractiveness of the area and makes removal much more difficult. Taking time to promptly remove graffiti from your property will reduce the chances of others applying their marks, “tags” or drawings. Responding to Graffiti: • If you notice graffiti on your property, paint it over as soon as possible. This lets these “artists” know that your property is not an acceptable place for their “work.” • If you see active graffiti taking place, contact the police! It is a crime and important for us to catch these taggers.

SUBMITTED BY RHEA SERRAN
SUBMITTED BY OFFICER MARK DOYLE, MILPITAS PD
Union City Police have a major development in the fatal shooting of 14-year-old, James Logan High School student Vernon Eddins in front of Barnard-White Middle School on December 21, 2007. Six men were charged on April 5, 2012 with gang-related murder by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office: Robert Yim (21), Eric Anthony Camacho (21), Jovencio Luis Camacho (22), Richard Antonio Corona (21), Alexis Alfonso Pamiroyan (22) and Derek Justin Rodriguez (23). The District Attorney’s Office will charge the suspects under a felony murder charge. “This is a tremendous advancement in our efforts to control violence in the community,” stated Mayor Mark Green. “I am pleased at the progress made to bring closure to the victim’s family and to the community. I commend Union City Police for their resolve,” added Councilwoman Emily Duncan. “I am glad the accused are now in custody and are being charged,” said Vice Mayor Pat Gacoscos. “Finally, justice is served; a tremendous relief for Vernon Eddins’ family.” The arrests were made in an investigative operation by Union City Police Department, Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force, with other assisting agencies. The investigation is on-going and additional details will be released as they become available.

Once outside, Adrian Jacob (San Jose) pushed a security officer and then punched his face. Jacob was subdued by Arthur Caeser Corpuz Pagaduan the security officers. Marko Severo (San Jose) then approached the previously assaulted security officer, punched his face, and ran away. Security officers chased him and subdued Severo in the parking lot.

Vets say dogs, cats turn old halfway through life
group Old Dog Haven in Lake Stevens, Wash. Most shelters consider dogs old at 8, Piper said, so Old Dog Haven works with dogs 8 and up. The group tries to place the 8- to 12-year-olds they rescue from shelters and find final refuge homes for those over 12. At age 14, Solomon is one of those final refuge or hospice dogs. Part Dalmatian and part German shepherd, he has been with Lisa Black for 30 months. Black owns the Stardust Salon and Spa in Seattle and Solomon goes to work with her every day to greet customers. ``If they don't like him, it's not the place for them,'' Black said. “Old dogs are usually good with other dogs and housebroken. They are easy and don't require a lot of trips to the park. They are usually happy with us and do whatever we want,” she said. Losing them is hard, she said, but you focus on the dog. “It's what Old Dog Haven does so they don't end up alone in a shelter. We give them a happy ending,” Black said. “Even if the time they have with
the dog is short, it's worth it,” Piper added. Dori Repuyan of Columbus, Ohio, says Tucker, a 60-pound German shepherd-beagle mix her family rescued nine years ago is between 11 and 13. She worries that calling dogs old so young will cost them good homes because “people don't want old dogs.” Tucker started showing his age a few years ago, Repuyan said. He stopped running with her, limited his walking and had trouble jumping on the bed. He started going gray and when he tore a ligament, developed weight problems. Repuyan and her husband had two children and it seemed to depress Tucker, she said. They rescued Phoebe, a small, young dog that brought Tucker out of his funk. However, Tucker now sees the vet more often, gets a supplement for arthritis and is no longer allowed on the stairs. “It's not so much that pets are living longer than their life expectancy, although they are, but we are taking better care of them and they are surviving longer. Sixty is the new 40 is true
for pets,” said Fadra Nally, a writer and blogger from Raleigh, N.C. Nally figures large dogs should be old at 8 and small dogs and cats old at 9 or 10. Tracie Hotchner of Bennington, Vt., author of “The Dog Bible” and “The Cat Bible,” believes the AVMA's numbers are right. “It raises people's awareness of the need to get more frequent and more thorough wellness checks,” she said. “Not enough people respect the fairly serious physical changes that take place in older cats and dogs and the kind of preventive care that's available.” Dogs don't have middle age, she said. At 6 or 7, pets can experience kidney failure, digestion problems, arthritis, obesity, teeth trouble or other ailments that can be treated. Hotchner has two older dogs with knee problems. They had surgeries, are on medication and undergoing stem cell therapy harvested from their own belly fat, she said. The quality of their lives has been extended decisively because of those things, she said.
SUBMITTED BY SGT. RAJ MAHARAJ, MILPITAS PD On March 29, at approximately 7:28 p.m., the victim, a 44 year-old male from San Jose, California, was seated at the bus stop on Dixon Road when he was approached by Bikim Rashad Mobley. Initially, Mobley asked the victim for $2 to buy a beverage and the victim provided him with the money. Once Mobley received the $2, he asked the victim for more money, but the victim refused. Mobley moved his hand towards his waistband while threatening the victim by saying he would put a bullet in the victim. Fearing for his safety, the victim ran into a nearby store and called 9-1-1. Milpitas Police officers responded to the area and eventually located Mobley in the area of Dixon Road and Arizona Avenue in Milpitas. Mobley was arrested for attempted robbery and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail. The Milpitas Police Department would like to remind the public that the crimes of robbery and assault Bikim Rashad MOBLEY are serious and usually money is the motivation. These incidents are considered crimes of violence because they involve the threat or actual use of physical violence. The basic rules of prevention are to be sensible and to be alert. If possible, don't walk alone during late-night hours, walk in groups whenever you can as there is always safety in numbers. If you are a victim of a robbery, please don't resist, give up your property and don't give up your life or get injured. Immediately report the crime to the police and try to describe the attacker accurately. Your actions can help prevent others from becoming victims as well.

live Hyde Art Guild is presenting a program about the beauty and art of Chinese calligraphy. To the casual observer, a Chinese calligraphy piece may sometimes be interpreted as a painting since both are accomplished using similar tools and techniques. When more is learned about calligraphy, however, different levels of appreciation are developed. Over the history of Chinese civilization several styles of Chinese characters have developed. There are rules governing the strokes or lines of the characters, but individual artistic expression is encouraged on the structures of characters and the overall presentation of a work in calligraphy.

strokes can involve an elaborate thought process often filled with emotion. Artist and presenter, Shuchen Chen, originally became fascinated by Chinese calligraphy when she was in elemen-
tary school. Her career path, however, was in Finance and Accounting. When choosing extra-curricular activities for her own children she rediscovered calligraphy and again picked up the brush. Chen has studied the art of calligraphy with Mei-Ju Chang and Huai-Ning Fu, both exceptionally accomplished calligraphers. She has also taken workshops from Pei-Jen Hau, who combines tradition and modernity in his unique splash ink paintings. More recently she has been studying under Pao-Tsa Yuan, a renowned master of bamboo paintings. Cur-
rently Chen teaches calligraphy at the Fremont Senior Center, the Northwest Region Tzu Chi Foundation, and at her Fremont studio. During the presentation at Olive Hyde Art Center, Chen will introduce the five calligraphy styles, Zhuan shu (seal script), li shu (clerical script), xing shu (semi-cursive/running script), cao shu (cursive/grass script), and kai shu (traditional standard script). She will also introduce the “Four Treasures of the Study”: ink brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. She will demonstrate wielding the brush and basic strokes. Finally there will be an opportunity for group practice with standard script. This program will be held on Tuesday, April 17 at the
Olive Hyde Art Center on 123 Washington Boulevard in Fremont, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Art Center's Mission Room Admission is free, reservations are required, call Elaina at (510) 651-4441.

n March 31st, Gusting winds and torrential downpours were no match for the spirit of the Kimber Park neighborhood, as residents staged a wildly successful community garage sale with more than 20 sites and over 50 families participating. Avid bargain hunters streamed through the neighborhood in search of treasures with all proceeds (over $5,000) going toward the community’s Save Kimber Park effort, a grassroots group whose goal is to preserve the existing zoning on nearly 13 acres of open space in the middle of the neighborhood. The community also hosted two information stations, where volunteers decked out in rain gear passed out neighborhood maps and gathered signatures for the Protect Fremont Open Space 2012 Initiative. The initiative, once passed in the November election, would let Fremont voters decide if open space that

fashioned, small town, community feel to the event. Although bargains were definitely the main attraction, there were also a number of very unique items, including life-sized cardboard cutouts of Yoda, Captain Kirk, and Xena Warrior Princess, all of which went for a song. The unwavering commitment of this community and tireless energy of so many members should be an inspiration to all. It is clear that this event accomplished all its goals. Funds were raised, signatures were gathered and awareness of the Kimber Park and Open Space issue in Fremont spread. However, most importantly, the community continues to grow stronger and more bonded. A neighborhood like this is priceless and irreplaceable. There is a wonderful Kenyan proverb "Vijiti katika kifungu na ni madhubuti" or "Sticks in a bundle can not be broken." The Kimber Park neighborhood has come together in
a special way and together they are not only stronger, but unbreakable. For more information please see: www.ProtectFremontOpenSpace.co m and www.SaveKimberPark.com
Marcia Dang and Paula Doherty are both interested in purchasing Xena Warrior Princess from one of the Garage Sales!

SUBMITTED BY COACH RUSSELL CHOY The team of Sycamore Lodge 129, Odd Fellows, Hayward (formally known as Canyon Middle School) placed first in State competition on Saturday, March 31, 2012. With a search for a community sponsor complete, they successfully met fierce competition at Odyssey of the Mind State Finals. They emerged as California State Champions. “The competition was the fiercest I’ve seen in five years of participation,” said Choy. There were four teams within about 12 points of one another after the compulsory weight placements. All four teams supported in excess of the equivalent of 750 lbs on structures that weighed between nine and 12 grams (about the weight of three nickels) made solely of balsa wood and glue.” More than 1,400 students attended the competition, representing over 200 teams from throughout California. Team Odd Fellows will compete internationally at the World Finals at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, from May 23 until May 26, 2012. There are typically more than 7,000 competitors with

The Colts have already shown what they can do against Castro Valley and Alameda this season. Junior Raeann Garza is back from making her MVAL debut on first team last season. Senior Jazmine Reed was the league’s player of the year, hitting the cover
off the ball with .395 average and 11 extra base hits. Seniors Alexis Martinez and Marissa Perez were also first team MVAL, and Martinez hit .494 with 15 extra base hits, including two home runs and 24 runs batted in. Coming up right behind Logan are the Newark Cougars. Their team features junior pitcher Marissa Chapa (first team) and senior infielder Erica Contreras. The Cougars were 22-4 last season and made it to the Division I semifinals. Washington High School has junior pitcher Angelina Lombardi, while Irvington High School

boasts sophomore catcher Shannon Rodriguez and junior Ashley Martorella. American High School juniors Christine Thompson and Alexandria Gibson could be poised for big years after making it to the MVAL second team last season. John F. Kennedy and Mission San Jose are considered doubtful as contenders this year. On April 3, the Irvington Vikings met cross-town rivals Kennedy. Irvington Softball Coach Kim Martin was pleased to get the team off to a good start and a win against Kennedy. The Vikings' young players were hitting the ball with power and beat the Kennedy Titans, 14-4 in seven innings. Titans pitching broke down early and set the tone for the rest of the game. Irvington also benefitted from good infield defensive plays.

It was a game of power hitting - a real slam fest. Not to be outdone by the Titans, Kennedy showed a little power of their own by scoring four runs and preventing a shutout. However, the Vikings just seemed to get hits at just the right time
with effective pitching able to get them out of a couple of tight spots. If the other teams in the MVAL turn out to put up as much of a fight as Kennedy and Irvington, then softball is sure to keep spectators on the edge of their seats this year.

SUBMITTED BY NEWARK PD Information about the differences between strangers kids should look out for and strangers kids can trust. Kids see strangers every day in stores, in the park, and in their neighborhoods. Most of these strangers are nice, normal people, but a few may not be. Parents can protect their children from dangerous strangers by teaching them about strangers and suspicious behavior, and by taking a few precautions of their own. Who is a stranger? A stranger is anyone that your family doesn’t know well. It’s common for children to think that “bad strangers” look scary,
like the villains in cartoons. This is not only not true, but it’s dangerous for children to think this way. Pretty strangers can be just as dangerous as the not-so-pretty ones. When you talk to your children about strangers, explain that no one can tell if strangers are nice or not nice just by looking at them and that they should be careful around all strangers. But don't make it seem like all strangers are bad. If children need help - whether they’re lost, being threatened by a bully, or being followed by a stranger - the safest thing for them to do in many cases is to ask a stranger for help. You can make this easier for them by showing them which strangers are okay to trust.
Who are safe strangers? Safe strangers are people children can ask for help when they need it. Police officers and firefighters are two examples of very recognizable safe strangers. Teachers, principals, and librarians are adults children can trust too, and they are easy to recognize when they’re at work. But make sure that you emphasize that whenever possible, children should go to a public place to ask for help. You can help your children recognize safe strangers by pointing them out when you’re out in your town. Also show your children places they can go if they need help, such as local stores and restaurants and the homes of fam-

ily friends in your neighborhood. Recognizing and Handling Dangerous Situations Perhaps the most important way parents can protect their children is to teach them to be wary of potentially dangerous situations – this will help them when dealing with strangers as well as with known adults who may not have good intentions. Help children recognize the warning signs of suspicious behavior, such as when an adult asks them to disobey their parents or do something without permission, asks them to keep a secret, asks children for help, or makes them feel uncomfortable in any way. Also tell your children that an adult should never ask a child for help, and if one does ask for their help, teach them to find a trusted adult right away to tell what happened. You should also talk to your children about how they should handle dangerous situations. One ways is to teach them “No, Go, Yell, Tell.” If in a dangerous situations, kids should say no, run away, yell as loud as they can, and tell a trusted adult what happened right away. Make sure that your children know that it is okay to say no to an adult in a dangerous situation and to yell to keep themselves safe, even if they are indoors. It’s good to practice this in different situations so that your children will feel confident in knowing know what to do. Here are a few possible scenarios: • A nice-looking stranger approaches your child in the park and asks for help finding the stranger's lost dog. • A woman who lives in your neighborhood but that the child has never spoken to invites your child into her house for a snack. • A stranger asks if your child wants a ride home from school.
April 13, 2012
• Your child thinks he or she is being followed. • An adult your child knows says or does something that makes him or her feel bad or uncomfortable. • While your child is walking home from a friend’s house, a car pulls over and a stranger asks for directions. What Else Parents Can Do In addition to teaching children how to recognize and handle dangerous situations and strangers, there are a few more things parents can do to help their children stay safe and avoid dangerous situations. • Know where your children are at all times. Make it a rule that your children must ask permission or check in with you before going anywhere. Give your children your work and cell phone numbers so they can reach you at all times. • Point out safe places. Show your children safe places to play, safe roads and paths to take, and safe places to go if there’s trouble. • Teach children to trust their instincts. Explain that if they ever feel scared or uncomfortable, they should get away as fast as they can and tell an adult. Tell them that sometimes adults they know may make them feel uncomfortable, and they should still get away as fast as possible and tell another adult what happened. Reassure children that you will help them when they need it. • Teach your children to be assertive. Make sure they know that it’s okay to say no to an adult and to run away from adults in dangerous situations. • Encourage your children to play with others. There’s safety in numbers!

SUBMITTED BY GOSIA ASHER The Deaf Studies Division at Ohlone College cordially invites you to join us in celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Ohlone College Language and Culture Center for Deaf Studies. In 1972, under the inspired leadership of George Attletweed and other visionary educators, the Deaf Studies Division at Ohlone College was opened as a way for Deaf students in the area to continue their education at an institution for higher learning. This led to the growth of language instruction in ASL and the Interpreter Preparation Program. Now 40 years later, we invite you to join us in celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Language and Culture Center for Deaf Studies at Ohlone College. On Thursday, April 19, visit the largest and most comprehensive Deaf Studies Program in the West. Meet the award-winning faculty, visit classrooms and programs and see our
