World Series contenders SUBMITTED BY ED HUGO PHOTO BY JIM BRYANT

In a spectacular run toward a trip to the Big League World Series in Easley, SC, the District 14 (D14) Big League all-star team from NorCal fell just short against a talented team from Thousand Oaks (SoCal) in the championship game of the Western Regionals in Bremerton, WA on July 20. It was an emotional ending for D14 as several team members are 18 years old and have reached the end of their Little League playing days. Overall, the D14 all-star team had a record of 10-1 and won the Section 3 and Division II (NorCal) tournaments, were the second best team in the Western Region which covers more than 10 states – a truly remarkable achievement. The D14 ballplayers were: Mark Bontempo, Jeff Chu, Brandon Facha, Brandon Fuhs, James Gaffey, Scott Havard, Kenny Jacoby, Devon Jones, Christian Letona, Reid Marion, Wyatt Ott, Martin Padilla, Austin Robles, Thomas Rodriguez, and JJ Sanchez and coaches Wayne Chung, Ed Hugo and Lucky Ott.

SUBMITTED BY DAWN ARGULA

Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty recognized three re- tirees on July 26, all who served with distinction over many years of service with awards for 2013 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year and 2013 Fire Fighter of the Year. Two awards were issued this year for the Law Enforcement category, one each to former police chiefs for the City of Fremont and for the City of Livermore. The Fire Fighter award went to a retired fire chief from the City of Fremont. Haggerty presented the awards at his 17th annual barbecue held at the Fairgrounds in Pleasanton today. Recipient of the 2013 Fire Fighter of the Year award, former Fire Chief Dan Lydon was hired by the City of Fremont in 1963 and spent his entire fire fighting career with the city. Advancing through the ranks of Lieutenant, Captain and Battalion Chief, Lydon was appointed Fire Chief in 1987 serving until his retire- ment in 2002. During his career with Fremont, Lydon was recog- nized with several prestigious awards for the fire fighting profession – Alameda County Fire Fighter of the Year in 1974 and the Cali- fornia Fire Chiefs’ Association Fire Chief of the Year in 2000. Chief Lydon played a key role in the community, establishing several in- novative programs and training protocols. Receiving the 2013 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year awards were former Fremont Chief of Police Craig Steckler and former Livermore Chief of Police Steve Sweeney. Craig Steckler began his career in law enforcement in 1968 with the City of San Clemente, California. In 1980 Steckler moved to the City of Piedmont in Alameda County when he was appointed Chief of Police and modernized the agency, increased training and established various pro- grams including Neigh- borhood Watch, Citizen Volunteer and a Canine program.

‘Sevathon’ draws over 3,500 participants

SUBMITTED BY INDIA COMMUNITY CENTER

Held at Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, India Community Center’s (ICC) fifth installment of the Bay Area’s premier walkathon “Sevathon” saw over 3,500 walkers and runners. Participants ran for their favorite non-profit organizations supporting various causes like education and healthcare, aid for the disadvantaged and animal rescue among many others. More than $150,000 was raised through the event for the 109 non-profit organizations participating this year. While most of the seniors and kids walked the shorter distances, the youth and adults took on the longer trails. 20-year-old Oliver Beardontwalk was declared the winner of the 10K event while 15- year-old Shiva Kannan claimed the top spot in the 5K, and 48-year- old Michel Bertin won the half marathon. Apart from bringing together a community and people from all walks of life, the event also helps instill a spirit of service and compassion among our youth by giving them an opportunity to volunteer and grow into socially responsible citizens. Hundreds of young volunteers helped with parking, registration, hospitality, track, entertainment, food, clean- up, water stations and most of all with cheering on the participants.

Mission Boulevard lane shift for pipeline installation

SUBMITTED BY BEN GLICKSTEIN

In order to prepare for water pipeline installation work under Mis- sion Blvd, workers shifted Mission Blvd. near I-680. East- and westbound traffic was moved slightly to the north so that workers can drill piles and exca- vate a trench. Within this trench, workers will then be able to install a water pipeline within a protective con- crete box while Mission Blvd. traffic continues uninterrupted.
