Those who grow them become enchanted with the rainbow of colors, great variety of shapes, petal forms, and sizes of the flowers, which can range from a delicate two inches to a generous platter-sized 15 inches in diameter.

Vernon McNece signs excitedly as he describes the 9th Annual Deaf Culinary Bowl, an event that took place on March 10, 2018 at the Art Institute of California in San Francisco. Inspired by the Iron Chef series, teams of up to six race against the clock to create an appetizer, entrée, and dessert in under two hours. Teamwork and communication are key. It’s an extraordinary challenge for some extraordinary students, all of whom are deaf. McNece, who is deaf himself, heads the Culinary Arts program at the California School for the Deaf (CSD) in Fremont. Every year a different school hosts the competition; this year was their turn. Other schools represented include the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, Connecticut, the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine, Florida, the Kentucky School for the Deaf in Danville, Kentucky, the Rocky Mountain Deaf School in Denver, Colorado, the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, Texas, and the California School for the Deaf in Riverside (Fremont’s sister school).

In a confrontation of epic (well, miniature) proportions, the San Leandro Historic Railway Society is hosting their two-day Open House and Model Train Show, on April 21 and 22. Lumbering model dinosaurs will ferociously guard the exquisitely detailed HO scale indoor trains, and impressively grand G and O scale outdoor trains. Be prepared for anything as the Jurassic era meets the age of steam! The East Bay’s history is inseparable from the impact of more than a century of railroads, and the 120-year-old San Leandro Depot, site of the Train Show, is the perfect junction of past history and present railroading delight.

SUBMITTED BY STEVE CONNOLLY

After becoming Cal State East Bay’s all-time leader in career wins and strikeouts April 10, 2018, senior Alex Vesia (Alpine, Calif.) has been named California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Pitcher of the Week for Apr. 2-9. Vesia cemented his place in the Pioneer record books on the strength of yet another brilliant outing to notch a 1-0 shutout victory over Cal Poly Pomona. The four-year senior entered the series opener in the third inning with a 1-0 lead and the bases full of Broncos. After escaping that jam, he proceeded to finish off the game with six scoreless frames. The southpaw struck out a career-high 10 batters New Address and issued just one walk, scattering six hits. He has not allowed an earned run over his last 26 innings and currently ranks second in the CCAA among qualified pitchers with a 2.09 ERA.
