The Bay Area Science Festival, Northern California’s largest free educational event designed to inspire a new generation of scientists, engineers, and technologists, is expected to attract more than 40,000 kids, teens and parents to “Discovery Days” in Santa Rosa and Concord on Saturday, October 27 and to AT&T Park in San Francisco on Saturday, November 3, when the entire park is transformed into a science wonderland. “Discovery Days are packed with jaw-dropping demonstrations, fascinating hands-on experiments and astounding games designed to spark a passion for science by showing students the fun and surprising ways it’s used in everyday life to make the world better,” said Katherine Nielsen, Co-Founder of the Bay Area Science Festival.

On Saturday, October 27, the City of Hayward will hold a public “Grand Opening and Dedication Ceremony” for its brand new, state-of-the art library, followed by tours and fun activities. Five years in the making, the three-story, 58,000-square foot building is located just across the street from the original library, which was built in 1951. That site will be transformed into a public plaza, slated to open in 2019. continued on page 14 BY ZOYA HAJEE

It can be thought of as an exercise in abstract thought.” Wong carried out his idea, starting out as a math teacher at Genius Kids. This initiative eventually led to a trial class where he invited Joshua Das to join him. With Wong’s Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics and Das’ Bachelor of Arts in communications, their educational backgrounds combined with their shared passion for enabling students to gain confidence in their math skills drove them towards creating Math Trek. “The name was actually inspired by Star Trek,” Das explained. “It was like an adventure

Was the first official Castro Valley Library the converted chicken coop that opened in 1918? Or was it the library in the home of Mrs. M.J. Alves that opened in 1915? Is the Library 100 years old? Or 103? No one really knows for sure, but one thing is certain: it’s time to mark the occasion with a party! Library patrons and community members are invited to mark the library’s 100th birthday on Saturday, October 27. The event will include live music from rock and folk band Misner & Smith plus crafts, games, a birthday cake, rubber chickens, and a special drawing to win a piece of library history.

2) Stop Wasting Money, Raising Taxes, Creating Facilities Inequity and Overcrowding Schools. After Measure E (a $650 million bond with a cost of about $1 billion more property taxes to the Fremont people) passed in 2014, the Fremont School Board has no action plan to fix bathrooms in 2018. Bathrooms. The 3 worst high schools: American needs 45 more toilets, Mission San Jose needs 34 more toilets and Irvington needs 19 more toilets.

The School Board (with a 4-1 vote) signed a labor project agreement with AFL-CIO member construction unions. After that, FUSD’s construction cost will always be high – averaging $900,000 per classroom, for example. I am not even against construction unions; I have nothing to do with them. But our students need “the biggest bang for the buck” facilities improvements more than the construction unions need extra bucks. Construction unions and their members are already doing well. Some construction workers make more money than our teachers.

Construction began in January 2018 and is expected to be completed by June 2019, in time for the start of the 2019-20 school year. The new campus will include transitional kindergarten through sixth grade classrooms, a library and media center, and an outdoor amphitheater. The current Cherryland Elementary School serves approximately 745 students and the new facility is expected to serve over 850 students and their principal of Sunset High School Elementary School could provide the school’s design is the shared The Cherryland School families.

Grizzlies win Helmet Bowl

SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

In what has become one of the biggest and hardest fought games of the year for two high school football teams in the San Lorenzo School District, the Arroyo Dons and San Lorenzo Grizzles did not disappoint in their meeting on October 20th. Both teams played their hearts out for the right to dis- play their school’s side of “the helmet” in front office of the winning school. 2018 will be remembered for many

widened their lead in the third quarter with another touchdown. However, the Grizzlies were not finished and tied the score 20-20 with 1:35 left in the game, forcing a North Coast Section regulation playoff to settle the matter. Re- ceiving the ball first in overtime, the Grizzlies were able to score and convert a two-point conversion. In response, the Dons also scored to bring the score close 28-26 with only the Grizzlies conversion as the difference. In the play of the game, the Dons offense were forced to go for their conversion and ran into a stone wall of defense ending in years to come as the Grizzles jumped off early, but Arroyo take the helmet from the Dons who won last year’s match a sack. Grizzlies fans and players erupted with the play, rallied for a halftime lead, 13–6. The Dons were poised to and displayed it (with their logo facing front) for a year at knowing that The Helmet would stay with San Lorenzo their school. It appeared to be the Dons’ year as they for another year!

Senior Chief Nelson Albores, a Union City, California, native and 1994 James Logan High School graduate is serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, a floating airport at sea as a culinary specialist. “I’m the galley production chief, in charge of all galley operations,” said Albores. Approximately 3,200 men and women make up the crew of John C. Stennis, with an additional 2,000 sailors assigned to the ship’s embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing 9. Albores combines the lessons learned from both the Navy and Union City to take personal responsibility in performing assigned tasks and leading others. “I’m originally from the Philippines, where you have to work hard to survive,” Albores said. “If you’re used to that environment you can make it anywhere.” Page 34 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE October 23, 2018
