You may eat Paleo but this competition isn’t CrossFit, its Coyote Hills’ 5th annual “Stone Age Olympics and Knap-In.” At the park’s Dairy Glen campground, you’ll travel back thousands of years to watch and learn the skills early humans per- fected in order to survive.

This year’s theme is “Cele- brating Community” – the relationships between different community organiza- tions and supporters that enable a victim and their families to receive the support that they need. Attendees will be treated to an array of breakfast goodies while they learn about SAVE’s programs and what they can do to help. “The community can play a role in combating domestic violence by helping to identify it,” Clymer said. This year’s keynote speech will be delivered by Fremont Police Captain Clarise Lew. “We chose Clarise because she is a woman, in law enforcement, and has years of experience with domestic violence,” said Tina Fernandez, SAVE’s assistant director of community develop- BY MEDHA RAMAN ment. “She is able to speak about SAVE’s collaboration with law enforcement,” she added. continued on page 5 Considered the largest geographical feature on earth, the Pacific Ocean contains an extraordinary human and cultural diversity. In popular imagination, islands of the South Pacific conjure exotic images both serene and mystical. Commonly re- ferred to as Polynesia, thousands of islands form a rough triangle with Hawaii, New Zealand, and Easter Island as boundary points. At the turn of the 21st cen- tury, about 70 percent of the total population of Polynesia resided in Hawaii. Through the efforts and contributions of modern Polynesians eager to experi- ence their past, a distinctive and powerful visual culture in traditional art, ritual performances, and aesthetics has been revived. One of the local pioneers is the Hula Halau ‘O Nalua/ Ote’a Api School of Polynesian Dance in Fremont. The school was established in 1976 when Ruth Nalua Manaois followed her “‘Uniki” or path to teaching after learning from the late Kumu Hula Rose Lokelani Thomas. Students at the school have given numerous performances over the last several years to help spread their culture. Along with Hawaiian dances, a special branch of Tahitian dances has also been added to the school with the name of continued on page 39 INDEX Classified. 30 It’s a date . 21 Public Notices. 36 Arts & Entertainment . 21 Community Bulletin Board . 25 Kid Scoop . 17 Real Estate. 16 Contact Us . 29 Mind Twisters . 18 Sports . 34 Bookmobile Schedule . 22 Editorial/Opinion . 29 Obituary . 31 Subscribe . 09 Business . 10 Home & Garden . 13 Protective Services . 33 Page 2 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE September 16, 2014 Free Seminars Offer Information on Medicare and Covered California utumn is typically known as “open “During open enrollment, it’s impor- enrollment” season for health insur- tant for people to review their health insur- A ance plans, which means it’s time ance plans to make sure their coverage for you to review your insurance options. meets their needs,” says Health Insurance Those options have become more complex Information Service Coordinator Kristi with the passage of the Affordable Care Act Caracappa. “Open enrollment is also your and the addition last year of Covered Califor- opportunity to change plans if yours is not nia, the state’s new marketplace for compar- working out well for you.” Attend one of the upcoming free seminars to learn about Covered California and other health insurance ing affordable health insurance plans.

In the traditional method, three or four rice seedlings are planted together, but the single seedling method, which is used in many other countries, gives a higher yield.According to a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s Department of Irrigation and Pro-net signed in December 2007, the project planned to plant only 100 hectares of rice in Tha Ngone in Xaythany district, Vientiane, Houay Noi in Paklai district, Xayaboury province, and Nam Pa irrigation schemes in Luang Prabang district, Luang Prabang province.

  • Program Booklet November 13 2013.Pdf
    Overview The mission of the Department of Energy is to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. A cornerstone of technology leadership and its accompanying jobs is a vibrant science and technology enterprise. To achieve this, the Department needs to cultivate the entire technology innovation chain, from enabling discoveries to research, development, demonstration, and deployment. The Department must create the conditions today that will harness the next generation of scientists and engineers to support its mission, administer its programs, and conduct the research that will support energy economic development and realize the nation’s science, technology, and innovation agenda. There is compelling evidence that carbon-dioxide emissions from human activities are adversely affecting the climate. Our responsibility to future generations is to eliminate most of our carbon emissions and transition to a sustainable energy future. As the country takes steps to address climate change through mitigation and adaptation efforts, we can expect there to be business and workforce opportunities that follow. In July 2013, the Secretary of Energy tasked the Office of Economic Impact and Diversity to assemble a broad group of stakeholders from across academia, non-profit organizations, policy groups, and business to begin a dialogue on the position of minority communities as it relates to the Department and the energy sector overall. These stakeholders included the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the White House Office of Public Engagement and the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The stakeholders met over several weeks and identified three areas that were key and the development of strategies to engage minority communities in the energy sector.
