BY NED MACKAY

Now that summer has arrived in earnest, it is time to think about where you can find cool parks on hot days for the fresh air and exercise that are so vital to good health, especially during the ongoing pandemic. East Bay Regional Park District has lots of cooler options for hiking and riding. The district encourages visiting parks close to home, but wherever you live in the East Bay, you can find a regional park near you. Here are some suggestions: Point Pinole Regional Shoreline. Cooled by breezes from San Pablo Bay in Richmond, Point Pinole has a colorful and explosive history, beautiful views of the bay and Marin County, and shady trails through eucalyptus groves. Tilden Regional Park. Next door to Berkeley, Tilden is one of the district’s original parks with many hiking and cycling options. Check out the Wildcat Gorge Trail for a shaded hike along Wildcat Creek. Briones Regional Park. Located between Orinda and Martinez, Briones has miles of hiking and riding trails. For a shaded walk, try the single-track Bear Creek Trail, which starts next to the Newt Hollow picnic area at the Bear Creek Road entrance. George Miller Jr. Trail. The trail is located on a no-vehicle section of Carquinez Scenic Drive between Port Costa and Martinez. It’s breezy, with great views of the strait and Benicia. It’s on the map for Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline. Diablo Foothills Regional Park. The park’s Orchard Staging Area is at the end of Castle Rock Road in Walnut Creek. The trail starts out in the sun, then connects to the Old Stage Road, which is mostly in the trees with views of the imposing Castle Rocks. Big Break Regional Shoreline. On Big Break Road off Main Street in Oakley, this park is right on the water. Among other features, it has an open-air, walk-on scale model of the entire Delta, and a pier from which you can observe waterbirds and other wildlife. Las Trampas Regional Wilderness. Check out the Ringtail Cat Trail, which starts at the trailhead at the end of Hemme Avenue in Alamo (limited parking). The trail follows a streambed (dry this time of year) through the woods for a quarter-mile, then heads steeply uphill to the sunnier Madrone Trail. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park. There are any number of shady trails through this beautiful area of second-growth redwood trees. One main entrance is on Redwood Road about two miles east of its intersection with Skyline Boulevard in Oakland. Crown Memorial State Beach. The park district operates this beach on behalf of the state and the city of Alameda. You can seek out bayside breezes by entering at the main lot on Otis and Shore Line Drives. Swim at your own risk as there is no lifeguard service. Coyote Hills Regional Park. Another park with a rich natural and cultural history. Great views of the south Bay; lots of bird life in and around the marsh. The park is at the end of Patterson Ranch Road off Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. Sunol-Ohlone Regional Wilderness. Alameda Creek runs through this park, which is a gateway to miles of trails through the East Bay’s most remote open space. The entrance is at the end of Geary Road off Calaveras Road, five miles south of I-680 and the town of Sunol. For more trail maps, directions, and detailed information of these parks and others, visit www.ebparks.org. Check also for COVID-19 updates at the top of the home page. While you are in the parks, you may encounter district naturalists. Look for them in their khaki uniforms and Smokey Bear hats. Though scheduled nature programs are on hold because of the pandemic, naturalists are still out in the parks, practicing social distancing but happy to provide general information or to talk about the parks’ fascinating features.

A path to allyship of Black and South Asian Communities

SUBMITTED BY SANGEETHA LAKSHMINARAYANAN

It surrounds you everywhere and you cannot leave the house with- out fear of being affected by it. Every day you teach your child the precautions they need to take before stepping out. You wear a mask to work. For some of us this is temporary and related to a virus, but for the Black community this has been a challenge for centuries. Racial injustice is all around us, and the Black community in par- ticular has been disproportionately impacted. Many of us are looking to show up as allies. We at Aram Sei aspire to help, as being allies is critical to long term reform and change. We are seeking to address allyship with the Black Community via education and community contributions. We have had multiple conversations within our volunteer and partner community, and each time came away realizing that the South Asian community in particular is looking for answers around “What can we do?”. We have heard questions and comments that range from “This happens to us as People of Color” to ‘‘I am an immigrant too, how can I influence change?”. These conversations also proved to be a safe space for us to learn from each other and ask questions that are harder to ask in a broader setting. Through our research into allyship we realized we needed resources geared towards the South Asian community. We are looking to help recognize our privilege where relevant and also have an actionable plan for what we can do if we aspire to be allies to the Black Community. To address this we are hosting a series of Webinars on Black Lives Matter specifically geared to the South Asian Community. The sessions will take you on a journey back in history, let you hear from the community today, and give a final call to action for the future. The sessions are FREE to attend and open to anyone, but registration is required via Eventbrite.

• Session #1: South Asian and Black History and Connections led by Anirvan Chatterjee, July 18, 6 p.m.

• Session #2: Panel with Community Members on intersection of Black and South Asian Community moderated by Anu Natarajan, July 25, 6 p.m.

• Session #3: Call to action and what can you do? led by Anu Natarajan and MR Rangaswami, August 1, 6 p.m.

In addition, we believe no change is possible without educating our young community. We will also be running sessions for our youth.

• Kids Session (Ages 5-12): An interactive session for children to learn more about Black History and contributions by Vidya Pradhan, July 18 4 p.m.

• Youth Session (Ages 13 -18): A hands on experience for youth to share and engage in a path forward by Nyantara Narasimhan, July 25 4 p.m. To learn more about the webinars and register please visit www.aramsei.org/blacklives or email [email protected]. We are also actively evaluating project proposals that benefit the Black community. If you have any project proposals please submit them at http://www.aramsei.org/nominate/.

4th of July Giveaway - A Parade of Kindness

SUBMITTED BY FREMONT FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER

Fremont Family Resource Center’s 4th of July Giveaway to Tri-City families in need was a big success! With so many people out of work, many are having to reach out for food to stretch their dwindling savings accounts. As evidence to the great needs in our community, cars started arriving three hours early to ensure availability of supplies. At 10:30 a.m., cars began rolling into the FRC parking lot where volunteers placed boxes and bags directly into their vehicles - fresh produce, grocery staples, pandemic supplies, hot lunch, drinks and even ice cream. We extend our enormous thanks and gratitude to Sikh Gurdwara Sahib Fremont, Sikhs for Humanity, and Sikh Panchayat for their generosity, support of our community, and the long hours spent in preparation. On Saturday the 4th, more than 70 volunteers were on hand to set up, ensure a smooth flow of hundreds of cars, and load supplies into each vehicle for a low-touch delivery. We especially thank Kashmir Singh Shahi and ice cream, and West Coast Rental for canopies. We’d also For more information on how to support Fremont Baljit Singh for the vision and leadership that brought like to give a shout-out to Fremont Mayor Lily Mei, Family Resource Center, go to Fremont.gov/FRC this amazing project together.

We are here to help you Longtime local For now give us a call or send an email environmental leader [email protected] dies at 88 SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA

State Senator Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) released the following statement on the passing of Donna Olsen, Fremont community activist and founder of the Tri-City Ecology Center. She died on July 9 at the age of 88. “For almost 50 years, Donna Olsen was the driving force of the Tri-City Ecology Center (TCEC), an organization she founded in 1971. The TCEC opened a recycling center that year and in the nearly half century since, has continually worked on environmental issues in southern Alameda County. I was proud to honor the TCEC as the 10th Senate District’s Nonprofit of the Year in 2016. “Donna stood at the center of all the successes the TCEC has achieved. From helping to expand the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and protecting wetlands, to advocating for environmental improvements, she was the one constant who drove the organization’s efforts forward. Fremont’s hillside is preserved today because of TCEC’s spearheading of the successful 1981 Fremont Hill Initiative. “Donna continued to edit the organization’s monthly newsletter, The Eco-Logic, to the end. She would assemble articles and information from members and local organizations, publicizing upcoming events and highlighting the latest news on the environmental front. “Her dedication and commitment never wavered. Those of us lucky enough to have known her will always remember her intellect, compassion, love of nature and warmth. She will be dearly missed.” Milpitas hotel on a bicycle.

Citizens gather to protest Prop 16

BY STEPHANIE GERTSCH

On Saturday, July 11, 700-800 people from Californians for Legal Rights and the Silicon Valley Chinese Association gathered in front of Fremont City Hall to raise awareness about Proposition 16, an item for the November 3 ballot. Speakers included Yang Shao, Fremont Councilmember; Gaurangbhai Desai, Representative of Fremont Indian community; Ritesh Tandon, CD17 Candidate; Jeff Wang NHUSD school board member; Chandrshekhar Wagh, Active member of Indian Community; Justin Wong, Student Representative; Bob Burton, CA assembly candidate. Prop 16 removes a sentence from the State Constitution, which was added in 1996 as part of Proposition 209. Namely, “The state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.” Proposition 209 was a ban on affirmative action, and Proposition 16 would “Allow schools and public agencies to take race Proposition 16 would “Allow schools and public agencies to take race and and other immutable characteristics into account when making other immutable characteristics into account when making admission, admission, hiring or contracting decisions” according to Cal Matters. (A full explanation is available at https://calmatters.org/explainers/cali- hiring or contracting decisions” according to Cal Matters. (A full fornia-november-2020-ballot-propositions-final-list/.) An organizer, who wishes to be identified as Selena, stated, “A lot explanation is available at of people actually don’t know, What is proposition 16? What does it https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-november-2020-ballot-propositions-final-list/.) mean? Why is it on our ballot? We want to bring people out, regard- less of what your points are, whether to support or to oppose it. We want to make sure our community knows this is going to be on the ballot – this is going to impact your life, your job, the schools.” Citizens are concerned that although Prop 16 is intended to benefit minorities, if it is not worded carefully, it could allow for discrimina- tion against members of supposedly “privileged” racial groups, such as Asian and South Asian-Americans. The stereotype of “rich Asians” does not reflect the lived experience of many Californians. “The cover seems to be very pretty,” explained Selena. “It says to ‘level the playing field,’ to provide an opportunity for the under-repre- sented…But when you look [inside] it’s empty. How are you going to do it? How is it going to be fair? Who’s going to be the beneficiary?” She called for more information and transparency from local politi- cians so that the community can be informed on the proposition. She also urged voters to do their research before casting their ballots in November. After the gathering, participants returned to their cars, which had been decorated with handmade signs, for a car rally that drove down Paseo Padre Parkway to Blacow Road and up Fremont Boulevard back to Mowry Avenue. This is the second of a series of car rallies scheduled in different California cities until November 3. For more information, visit https://stopprop16.org/.
