Raiders stadium deal takes a turn By Louis LaVenture SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR When NFL Executive Vice President Eric Grubman visited the East Bay on Aug. 5 to meet with Oakland Raiders officials and discuss the team’s stadium issues, he was greeted with some surprising news. According to county officials, Alameda County has decided to pull out of the deal with the city of Oakland and San Diego businessman Floyd W. Kephart to keep the Raiders in Oakland. The decision now gives Oakland full control over the East Bay professional football franchise. However, the silver and black are also pursuing a joint stadium venture in Carson with the San Diego Chargers. The two teams invested $900,000 to get a ballot initiative fast tracked which would speed up the process of getting the Carson stadium built, according to reports filed on Aug. 3. The Chargers rejected a $1 billion stadium proposal from the city of San Diego on Monday to keep the franchise in the city, according to Chargers team officials. In April, Carson City Council members approved a measure that allowed the $1.7 billion plan to bypass the environmental review process. The St. Louis Rams are also interested in a Southern California stadium in Inglewood and owner Stan Kroenke has spent nearly $2 million on getting the project approved. All three teams met with the NFL on Tuesday and gave fact finding updates on their current and future deals. The Raiders have responded with three clear factors for the team to stay in Oakland; free land, the city of Oakland covers the cost of new infrastructure and the Raiders would not be responsible for the remaining costs of over $100 million for renovations made to O.co Coliseum in 1995 when the team returned from Los Angeles.

By Vanessa Pineda CONTRIBUTOR My 11-year-old brother David is fiercely playing with his Kendama as we’re walking through Valley Fair Mall in San Jose. Another young boy approaches him and says, “Wanna play?” and David says “Yes.” The two begin to perform tricks, seeing who can land the most and claim victory. The Kendama is a wooden toy which has a handle known as the “ken” connected by a string, to a ball known as the “tama.” The goal is to learn and land new tricks. As a beginner start with bending your knees and then popping the ball up onto one of the cups. Once

Distillery to open in Hayward By Alfonso Galindo CONTRIBUTOR Buffalo Bill’s Brewery and restaurant is in the process of expanding its inventory from beer, burgers and wings to include liquor: owners are in the process of creating a distillery right behind the brewery on B Street. The new Russell City Distillery will produce its own vodka, gin and rum on-site. They will also produce an agave spirit, which is tequila, mezcal, sotol, raicilla, bacanora and comiteca. The distillery will feature walk-in tours, tasting rooms, and a retail store will open also right inside the distillery, according the distillery’s website. Havilah Kapellas, Public Relations Manager for Buffalo Bill’s, explained that Russell City Distillery would stay in Hayward because of the amount of success Buffalo Bill’s has had. “ P e o ple love the brew pub and have always shown their love and loyalty for Buffalo Bills so our customers are excited for the distillery,” Kapellas said. There are over 86 different types of licenses that a distillery must have in order to operate. One of the licenses that a distillery will have to acquire is a permit for On-Sale General for Public Premises license, which is the authorization to sell all types of alcohol, namely

Last Friday Cal State East Bay President Leroy M. Morishita announced that Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs James Houpis would step down from his positions on Aug. 21. Morishita said Houpis will rejoin CSUEB in January 2016 when the winter quarter begins where Houpis will join the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences after taking the fall quarter off, “pursuing several interests,” according to Morishita. Houpis has held both positions at CSUEB since he was hired in January 2010. He also held a variety of positions at Chico State since 2001, where he was employed as the Dean of the College of Natural Sciences before coming to East Bay in 2010. According to the Provost and VP of Academic Affairs website, the goal of the position is to, “provide high academic standards along with services and support that ensure each student the opportunity for success, a learning-centered experience where teaching is lively and engaging and individual differences are appreciated; and dedication to open-minded inquiry, especially with regard to major social and global issues.” President Morishita credited Houpis with several key innovations during his tenure at CSUEB, most notably the “Academic Access, Enhancement and Excellence Fee (A2E2 fee) to improve student retention and success through the provision of educational resources, high impact programs, enhanced teaching, learning and support systems, and access to educational learning materials,” according to Morishita. On Wednesday the Office of the President announced that the current CSUEB Dean of the College of Education and Allied Studies department Carolyn Nelson would take over the vacant positions on August 22 the day after Houpis is set to resign. According the statement from Morishita's office, Nelson worked at San Jose State University for 19 years before coming to CSUEB in 2009. Nelson also received a bachelor of science degree in education from the University of Nebraska. She also received a master's degree and a doctorate from the University of San Francisco.

I have been a resident of Fremont my entire life. It’s a great city to grow up in: My family is there, I went to school there, and I’ve held jobs there. But when I started attending classes at Cal State East Bay last fall, my life transitioned from Fremont to Hayward. And my transition has been one of discovery: for the last year I’ve seen why this city really is the Heart of the Bay. It’s the strong community here that makes Hayward unique. While working for The Pioneer Newspaper, I’ve attended a lot of city events and I’ve noticed two things: There is always a large turnout. And, even with a room full of people I don’t know, I always feel included. Hayward has that small town feeling in a large city format. I think that the Pioneer is a voice for the people of Hayward and that our articles reflect the community, the lifestyle and issues of our residents. These last few weeks we have covered
two stories of unexpected loss. On Wednesday, July 22, Sergeant Scott Lunger of the Hayward Police Department was shot and killed in the line of duty. Hayward had not lost a police officer on the job since 1987, according to the Officers Down Memorial Page. Within the wake of tragedy, the residents of Hayward leaned on each other to get through this difficult time. City Hall closed, the Hayward Rotary Club held a memorial breakfast for the public, hundreds of people attended the public viewing at Chapel of the Chimes, and thousands attended the funeral at Oracle Arena last Thursday. The city and its government banded together to say goodbye to a man who was a part of this community for more than 15 years. As residents began to recover from losing a beloved officer, news broke a week later that 17-year-old Mt Eden High School graduate Kionta Murphy
was shot while walking home. The same day of the shooting, family, friends, educators and members of the community gathered for a morning vigil. “Everyone is here because they loved your brother,” Kionta’s mother, Theresa Murphy said to his younger sister during the vigil, according to KTVU news. The love and support that this community hands out is what makes it so unique. When times are hard, no one shies away from lending a helping hand. While no new information has been released in Murphy’s case, it is a story that the Pioneer staff is following. Beyond the tragedies that the community has dealt with in the last few weeks, there are also bright moments that residents should be aware of. Hayward City Council met on July 7 to discuss a new Community Center that will aim to provide employment and health services, financial stability classes, a new tech center and pediatric
center, job training, and services for the homeless. The Pioneer will be trailing the community center and any new updates that happen. Until the community center is built, there are other ways to get involved with the Hayward community. This weekend is the 33rd Zucchini Festival. Dubbed the “Back to the Zucchini Festival,” the event will take place in Kennedy Park from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The festival is $10 and a great way to meet people from all over Hayward. If there’s one thing I know about the people in this city it’s that they make you feel welcomed. In the end, through good times and bad, the Hayward community knows how to stick together. While Hayward itself has been dubbed the “Heart of the Bay,” it is really the people of this city who deserve that title.

Distillery From Page 1 beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption on-site. Russell City may have some competition in the East Bay. Hangar One Vodka in Alameda has distilled vodka since 2001 while Sutherland Distillery in Livermore just opened their doors in 2013. Kapellas explained it is uncertain whether or not Russell City Distillery spirits will be sold at local grocery stores. The distillery would like to keep
products local for customers, so there will be retail store next to the manufacturing facility open to the public filled with products Kapellas stated. The “Russell City” neighborhood was an unincorporated area in Hayward established by a man named Frederick James Russell in 1907. Until 1964, the area stood alone until residents were pushed out of the area to make way for an industrial park, and many of the buildings were burned down. The name of the new distillery is a nod to the old neighborhood. The opening of Russell City has been pushed back and at this time there has not been a set date for when it will open.
Buffalo Bill’s Brewery in Downtown Hayward has begun the process of opening a sister restaraunt adjacent to the current location on B Street and Foothill Boulevard. The new facility will be next to the current site and will be called Russell City Distillery and no time table has been set for its opening.

Woman plunges off Bay Bridge after crashing stolen car By Veronica Rocha LOS ANGELES TIMES Authorities were searching for a woman who crashed a stolen vehicle on the San Francisco- Oakland Bay Bridge, climbed over a guard rail and either fell or jumped about 70 feet into the chilly water below early Wednesday. The woman was last seen, soaking wet, hitching a ride from a dump-truck driver in Oakland, near the bridge, said Officer Vu Williams of the California Highway Patrol. The CHP hopes to find the woman, believed to live in the East Bay, to determine whether she was injured. At the moment, Williams said, the case of the vehicle, which was stolen in Los Angeles, was taking a back seat to concerns for the woman’s welfare. “It’s a pretty big drop,” Williams said. The fact that she did not plunge from the bridge’s highest point -- 200 feet above the water -- probably helped her survive, Williams said. Interested in the stories shaping California? Sign up for the free Essential California newsletter In what played out like a scene from “The Fugitive,” the search for the woman began shortly after 2 a.m. CHP officers were driving west on the bridge and saw a car spinning out of control on the other side. The officers turned around and pulled up to the vehicle, which had been abandoned. Ahead of them, they saw three women walking in the bike lane and approached them. The women had jumped a short divider to get to the bike lane, Williams said. As the officers moved in, one of the women, wearing a black dress, began climbing the guard rail and then plunged into the bay. Hoping to track the woman, officers threw a dye pack into the bay. The dye showed officers where the woman landed and followed the current. She was seen drifting north under the bridge. Authorities found an ID card floating in the dye-stained water, but not the woman. Officers detained the two other women and launched a search for one who fled. Aided by a helicopter, the CHP and U.S. Coast Guard searched the water until 9 a.m.

Morning commuters make their way across the eastern half of the Bay Bridge in Oakland. After suspending their search, the CHP received several calls from drivers who reported seeing a woman in a soaking wet dress standing on the side of the road, trying to flag down vehicles. Finally, a dump-truck driver picked up the woman and took her to a “safe location” toward San Francisco, Williams said. Later, the driver went to the CHP’s Oakland station and described the encounter with his unusual passenger. The two other women were questioned and released. The women told officers that “they didn’t know [the other woman] well,” Williams said. On Wednesday afternoon the woman was still missing, authorities said.

4 FEATURES Kendama From Page 1 you have mastered the basics, you can move onto more complex tricks. The Kendama has a base cup, a big cup, a small cup, and a spike. Kendama is not only a toy, but is an old Japanese game. Franchises like Target, Walmart, and the national sporting goods chain Big 5 sell them. Kendamas have become popular not only in the Bay Area, but also in places like Hawaii, Minnesota, and Illinois, according to news reports. Fremont native Jacob Padilla was introduced to Kendamas at a rock climbing gym called City Beach, where he works as a manager. One of the athletes he coaches on his competitive rock climbing team showed him a Kendama at a climbing competition and brought him one as a gift the following week. Earlier this year, Padilla established a company named Hella Kendama in Fremont. “Upon noticing the momentum that Kendama was gaining, I wanted to be apart of the growth,” Padilla said. “I had a sudden desire to somehow give back to the local community by helping stimulate the mental and physical functionality of our youth. Every Kendama sold is one less video game being played.” Hella Kendama creates custom Kendamas. They hand-brush the glaze and gloss rather than sponge brushing or airbrushing. This technique leaves a unique brush stroke finish on the tama, ensuring no tama is identical to another, Padilla said. Ben Herald, 19, has been playing Kendama for two and a half years. He was among the 30 or 40 people who attended a meet-up jam session in San Jose on July 24. The session was open to all
different levels, from beginners to advanced players. “There is always more to improve on,” Herald said. “There’s an infinite number of tricks and combinations of tricks. Always more to do, you’re never finished. And it’s a good feeling learning a new thing.” The use of Kendama is not always viewed in a positive manner. At Gardner Academy in San Jose, Kendamas were banned during school hours, after a student was accidently hit with the tama, or the ball, and was hurt. “My brother got one for Christmas after we saw Kendamas in a longboarding video,” 13-year-old Ethan Hurtzberg said at the July 24 meet-up. “We started playing with it, then after I got it [one] for Christmas.” Hurtzberg is in 8th grade and says that Kendamas are popular at his middle school in San Jose. The Kendama trend appeals to a wide range of people including several members of Team Loopkicks, a tricking team — freestyle tumbling and extreme martial arts — whom attended the July event because they also play Kendama. The trend also lends itself to personalization: a group known as Brthrssstrs — “Brothers and Sisters” spelled with no vowels — does hand-painted Kendamas. Angelina Nguyen paints Kendamas for Brthrssstrs. Nguyen can paint a Kendama in one day. She says custom Kendamas range in price from $30-$75. “They are really pretty, and you feel a rush when you land a trick,” Nguyen, 25, said. “It feels nice.” Gavin Nguyen, 12, has quickly developed his skill in the short five months that he has played. Anyone who wants to try and play this wooden craze, Nguyen suggests some tips, bend your knees and watch Youtube videos. “If I didn’t play Kendama I wouldn’t have met Ethan Phan [a friend] with this piece of wood,” said Gavin.

CSUEB Education Summit
ILLUSTRATION BY BRITTANY ENGLAND/THE PIONEER
By Alex Boucher CONTRIBUTOR
California teachers from universities, high schools, middle schools and elementary schools came together for the 2015 California Teacher’s Summit on July 31 at Cal State East Bay. The Education Summit — dubbed “Better Together: California Teachers Summit”— took place simultaneously at 33 college campuses across California from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This was the first Education Summit organized by the New Teacher Center, the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities and California State University. It was designed to bring together teachers from all across the state to create discussion on how to improve classroom curriculum and overcome new challenges like Common Core standards and Next Generation Science Standards, according to the education summit organizers. “This is a historical event for California Educators because it provides an innovative format in which they can learn and network with each other in substantive ways,” said Dean of the College of Education and Allied Studies Carolyn Nelson in a press statement. “It is also the first time in which such a group of diverse partners have come together to plan this unprecedented statewide event using
a format that illustrates how important our work is and that we are ‘better together’”. Utilizing teleconference and online streams, this one-day only summit linked together thousands of attendees at multiple college campuses. The two main keynote speakers, actress Yvette Nicole Brown and NASA astronaut Leland Melvin were filmed and then streamed to each location at the beginning of the event. Keynote speakers were chosen because of their work in the education field. Brown recently partnered with Stephen Colbert on an initiative to fund different education projects in South Carolina. Melvin has served as the co-chair of the White House task force charged with creating the nation’s fiveyear STEM education plan. The event also featured speakers specific to each campus. Nicholas Zefeldt, an instructional coach from San Ramon Valley Unified School District and East Bay alumnus gave a 20-minute “EdTalk,” a TED Talk speech format, to over 500 educators. “There is no better time than right now to be [an] educator in the state of California,” said Zefeldt as his audience broke out in laughter. “Because the core standards and NGSS gives us the opportunity to make thoughtful decision about how [to] engage our students in ways that will actually prepare them for life, their careers and their college experiences in the 21st century.”
His speech touched on three stories of how as a teacher he had to embrace the challenges that come along with implementing new curriculum, adhering to Common Core or NGSS, and the difficulties of working with children. “We have to have the realization that we will we stumble,” Zefeldt said during his Ed-Talk at the summit. “For a lot of us, it will feel like the first year of teaching all over again, but we have to realize that there isn’t a single person in this room that has be perfect on their first time. We will stumble, and that’s a hard pill to swallow sometimes and when we do swallow it we have the license to view those stumbles as evidence of engagement, evidence of learning and an opportunity to grow from where you are at right now.” Besides listening to Ed-Talks and keynote speakers, educators were encouraged to network and engage with others at the event. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson explained that this summit gave teachers the benefit of being able to talk to fellow teachers about what works and what doesn’t in their classroom. “This event gives teachers a chance to grow professionally by allowing them to share their ideas, ingenuity, passion, and best practices,” Torlakson said in a press statement. “It can help teachers make an even bigger difference in the lives of California students.” Editor-in-Chief Shannon Stroud contributed to this article.

Hayward abrirá una nueva destilería en Russel City Por Alfonso Galindo CONTRIBUYENTE
Traducción por Pavel Radostev Pushina
La cervecería y restaurante Buffalo Bill’s está en proceso de expandir su inventario de cerveza, hamburguesas y alitas de pollo para incluir licor: los propietarios están en el proceso de crear una destilería justo detrás del restaurante Buffalo Bill’s. La nueva destilería en Russel City producirá su propio vodka, ginebra y ron en el sitio. También producirán licores de agave, como Tequila, Mezcal, Sotol, Raicilla, Bacanora y Comiteco. La destilería contará con visitas guiadas, degustación y una tienda se abrirá también a la derecha dentro de la destilería, según el sitio web de la destilería. Havilah Kapellas, Gerente de Relaciones Públicas de los Buffalo Bill’s, explicó que la destilería de Russel City se alojará en Hayward, debido a la cantidad de éxito que ha tenido Buffalo Bill’s
en la ciudad. “La gente ama la cervecería y siempre han demostrado su amor y lealtad a Buffalo Bill’s por lo que nuestros clientes están entusiasmados por la destilería,” dijo Kapellas. Hay más de 86 tipos diferentes de licencias que una destilería tiene que tener. Una de las licencias que la destilería deberá de adquirir es un permiso de venta general para la licencia de Locales Públicos, que es la autorización de venta de cualquier tipo de alcohol, es decir cerveza, vino y licores destilados para el consumo en el lugar. Cuando se trata de la competencia de otras destilerías en el Área de la Bahía, como Hangar One Vodka ubicado en Alameda, les da competencia a Russel City porque tienen Vodka destilado desde 2001. Otro competidor ubicado en Livermore es la destilería Sutherland que abrió sus puertas en 2013. Actualmente están envejeciendo su bourbon y whisky
y mientras estos envejecen producen ron y vodka. Kapellas explicó que no están seguros, en el momento de este artículo, si los licores de la destilería de Russel City serán vendidos a tiendas locales. A la destilería le gustaría mantener sus productos locales para sus clientes, por lo que habrá un establecimiento abierto al publico justo al lado lleno de sus productos, dijo Kapellas. El barrio “Russel City”, era un área no incorporada en Hayward establecida por un hombre llamado Frederick James Russel en 1907. Hasta 1964, el área quedó solo hasta que sus residentes fueron expulsados para dar lugar a un parque industrial, y muchos de los edificios fueron quemados. El nombre de la nueva destilería es un guiño al viejo barrio. La apertura de Russel City ha sido retrasada, en este momento no ha habido una fecha determinada para cuando su apertura.

8 SPORTS Raiders From Page 1 However, Alameda County pulling out of the deal means the city will need to pay back nearly $200 million to Alameda County. “This is not a problem we can solve overnight,” said Oakland Councilman Larry Reid. “We have to look at all of our options and figure out what works best for us.” The city of Oakland has until the end of August before they meet with NFL officials again. The NFL set Jan. 1 to Feb. 15, 2016 as the official relocation period for the league but Commissioner Roger Goodell said in April it could be “moved up” if necessary. The deal presented by Kephart was widely criticized and the first stadium deal in league history that required the team to fund a majority of the project as well as sell a portion of the franchise. ESPN analyst, former Super Bowl winning executive and Hall of Fame member Bill Polian called it, “The worst

deal I have ever seen in the history of the league.” The deal puts the Raiders on the hook for more money than any other stadium deal ever completed and also requires a 20 percent sale of the franchise to Kephart’s New City Development LLC, which is also a first in the leagues history. Oakland is the only team of the three considering relocation that have not presented a plan to stay in their current city. St. Louis and San Diego in addition to their relocation options have also presented plans to their current cities to stay put, according to the NFL. In a radio interview last week Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley said, “The fact that we spent so much time trying to make this new city thing work has really distracted from our ability to negotiate with the Raiders.” The NFL and the city of Oakland have not responded to the decision made by Alameda County to pull out of the deal, however the Oakland Athletics have. Oakland owner Lew Wolff said he was not supportive of a buyout and did not think it would result in a new A’s stadium on the current site.

Track, cross country coach resigns By Louis LaVenture

In May at the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championships, junior Marquise Cherry was one of the “best jumpers in the nation,” and captured first place in the men’s long jump event. Former CSUEB Head Coach Ralph Jones smiled from ear to ear as he posed with his athlete on the first place podium following the event. Unfortunately for Jones and the Pioneers, they will not get to see where last season’s success will take them in 2015-2016. Jones resigned after his fifth season at the helm for the Pioneers, “Because building my family was more of a priority for me than continuing to build the East Bay program,” according to Jones. On July 24, first-year Cal State East Bay Athletic Director Joan McDermott announced that Tony Nicolosi would be the new head coach of the men and women’s cross country and track and field teams. This was the first coaching
change made at CSUEB since her hiring late last year and McDermott is confident that Nicolosi’s success at Western State Colorado University will carry over to the Pioneers and CSUEB. Nicolosi helped produce 11 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Americans during his three-year tenure as an assistant coach at WSCU. Prior to that, Nicolosi was a graduate student assistant at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Nicolosi also coached at Seminole High School in Florida where his team captured three straight championships during his tenure. Jones leaves some big shoes to fill, literally. In addition to his success on the track, he also led a charitable effort that sent athletics shoes to the country of Conakry, Guinea, which is located on the Western coast of Africa. According to their Secretary General of the International Medalist Association, Ron Freeman, this is the first time in the country’s history that a coach and athletes sent shoes to their country for underprivileged athletes. “The culture has been changed, the
right athletes have been recruited into the program, and the foundation has been established where the next head coach should be able to come in and have immediate success,” Jones said. “The timing was right with the hiring of the new AD for me to leave and allow her to bring in the person she felt could carry out her vision. I have always lived by the philosophy to leave a program better than I found it and that’s what my staff and I were able to do at East Bay.” He also established the annual 5K run at CSUEB and was vital in rebuilding a program that entered the Division II level just five years ago. Jones says that he will be working privately with a few athletes attempting to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics as well as pursuing a teaching position at the high school level closer to his family back east. “I have three amazing children who are all involved in sports that I will coach in some capacity, but I don’t for see coaching at the college level in my near future,” Jones said. “My wife and kids enjoy me being home more.”
