Recently, several prominent Tri-City citizens have passed away, taking with them an important weave in the tapestry of our community. Fortunately, they leave a legacy through their works and effect on friends, family and others they touched in life. Fremont resident and dance icon Yoko Young died October 29, 2013, but her spirit will continue to resonate throughout the community as an important and dynamic mosaic of interests and life experiences.

Bernie’s motivation for establishing OneChild stems from her childhood; being poor, wearing dirty clothing and enduring taunts from other kids. Bernie says, “I had no self-es- teem at all – none - until I was age 37.” When her husband, John, decided to open his own real estate office, he needed Bernie’s help. “He would drop me off at work in the morning - about 6 a.m. - and I would pray that nobody would come in until John got there.” As John helped her under- continued on page 18

The U.S. Department of Transportation, Project Yellow Light, Mazda Motorsports, National Or- ganizations for Youth Safety®, and the Ad Council opened their Project Yellow Light contest to high school and college students nationwide on October 31. The goal is to challenge students to create a short video to convince their peers to not drive distracted. Texting and cell phone use behind the wheel significantly increases a driver’s risk of crashing. Even a single, momentary distraction while driving can cause a lifetime of devastating consequences. “Through Project Yellow Light we hope to raise awareness of the danger among teens and encourage young people to take responsibility and take action to reduce the risk of distracted driving accidents,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “Today’s young drivers do not realize exactly how dangerous using their phones while driving can be,” said Administrator David Strickland of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Through Project Yellow Light, even the youngest drivers will hear from their peers about the dangers of distracted driving, and how harmful sending even one text can be when behind the wheel. Established in 2007, Project Yellow Light is a video contest and scholarship program established by Julie Garner in memory of her teenage son, Hunter Garner, who was killed in a car crash that year. Project Yellow Light was developed to encourage teens and young adults to be safe when taking on the road. The contest allows students to create their own videos, with the chance to win a college scholar- ship and have their short film turned into an Ad Council PSA and distributed to over 1,600 TV sta- tions nationwide. Scholarships are made possible by the generosity of Mazda Motorsports. The winners of this year’s PSA contest will be announced May 1 at the National Organiza- tions for Youth Safety’s Global Youth Traffic Safety Summit. For both the high school and col- lege contests, the first-place winner will receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000. Second-place finisher will receive $2,000. Third-place finisher will receive $1,000. For more information, or to apply, visit www.projectyellowlight.com. Information and Referral Day SUBMITTED BY MITCH REITMAN

Barbara Bernstein, Eden I&R’s Executive Director reported that she is pleased that “all 14 cities are once again financially supporting 2-1-1. With the beginning of government departments rebounding from the worst of the recession, and the acknowledgement that 2-1-1 has sus- tained and grown over the past few years, we are grateful and proud that all Alameda County cities understand and support 2-1-1’s role in the fragile health, housing, and human services safety net.” To learn more about 2-1-1 in Alameda County visit www.211alamedacounty.org, statewide: www.211California.org and nationally: www.211.org.

continued from page 1 stand real estate, she began to feel confident of her abilities. After she completed her first real estate transaction, Bernie’s self-confi- dence blossomed. “I sold my first place and gained self-confidence. It made a huge difference in my life.” As John and Bernie’s real es- tate business flourished, her con- fidence grew but she never forgot the painful lessons of her child- hood and dreamed of helping children in need. Reflecting on her own life experiences motivates Bernie to help others in the community to develop self-esteem and confidence. When a child visits the OneChild store, they select clothing, school supplies and books to take home. Shopping for school clothes can be an exciting time for kids; OneChild creates the same feeling for many who are otherwise left out… the gift of going to school with a confident smile. Due to pressing demand for their services, a referral process from non-profit organizations in the Bay Area and the Fremont Resource Center is used to select OneChild customers. OneChild volunteers dedicate time and effort, rewarded by customer smiles. Bernie notes that volun- teer opportunities are always available. For those interested in supporting OneChild through financial gifts and/or volunteer activities, visit: www.onechildca.org or call (510) 713-8643. OneChild recently moved to a new location at 1900 Mowry Avenue, Suite #103 in Fremont. An Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 5:30 p.m.

Hilarious Holiday Farce

November 15 – December 21 (No shows Thanksgiving Weekend)

David Tuttle is moonlighting as a department store Santa so he can buy his wife a fur for Christmas. He tells her he’s working late at the office, but she finds out he isn’t at the office. A suspected other woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa burglar, Kris Kreigle, and his gun-toting fiancée, and a confused policeman add up to a rollicking tale that is hilarious Christmas (or anytime) entertainment.

Performance times are 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. There are three Sunday matinees: Nov 24 and Dec 8 matinee performances begin with a continental brunch (included in price of ticket) at 12:15 pm, and the show begins at 1 pm. The Dec 15 performance starts at 1 pm with refreshments during intermission (included in price of ticket).

Regular ticket prices are $25 general and $20 for Students, Seniors and TBA members. Thursday, Nov 21, Dec 12 and 19 performances are $17 for everyone, with a bargain Thursday (no reservations – first come, first seat!) held on Dec 5 - all tickets $10. Brunch Sunday performances and Opening night are $25 for everyone. All ticket prices include re- freshments.

For reservations and information, call 510-683-9218, or purchase tickets on our website at www.broadwaywest.org.

Huskies prevail

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

The Washington High School Huskies won the Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) Football cham- pionship by beating the Irvington Vikings 40-34. With the win, the Huskies put together a perfect 6-0 MVAL record, an impressive year. This game started off as a real slugfest title match, both teams’ offensive lines showing why either could have won the MVAL title this year… the Huskies using their speed to move the ball outside and the Vikings trap blocking. Washington’s Nate Woudstra rushed for 255 yards on 29 carries, and Irvington’s Jared Lozoya kept the Vikings in the game as he rushed for 198 yards on 29 carries. The road downhill for the Vikings started with 7.46 left in the first half when Washington’s Nate Woudstra scored on a 80-yard play, the last of his three first half touchdowns to open a 26-14 lead. The difference in this game was the passing combination of Washington Quarterback Tylan Vinson and Sam Hodnett who teamed up for seven completed passes and 108 yards. Viking hopes were dashed when Vinson found Hodnett on 7-yard touchdown pass to open a 40-28 lead. Irvington Quarterback Jack Shank showed why he had a banner year as, even under great pressure from the Huskies defense, found the end zone with two touchdowns by air and a run for another. With the title, the Huskies, ranked #10, will get an automatic berth in the NCS playoffs. They meet the sev- enth ranked Las Lomas Knights of Walnut Creek at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 16 at Tak Fudenna Stadium.

he Postal Service recently announced that it has printed 100 additional sheets of stamps of the recently issued Inverted TJenny stamp — but with the plane flying right-side up. These very limited edition stamps were circulated with the recent issue of the most famous “misprinted” stamp. Customers who have recently pur- chased the new Inverted Jenny stamp could have a very limited edition of the famous stamp. The idea for creating the “misprinted misprint” came to light after the Postmaster General mentioned the stamp to customer groups shortly after it was previewed in January. “Our customers were enthusiastic about printing a new version of the most publicized stamp error in U.S. history as a great way to spur interest in stamp col- lecting,” said Dona- hoe. “Some jokingly commented that we should be careful to avoid repeating the same mistake of nearly a century ago. That was the impetus behind this initiative. What better way to interest a younger generation in stamp collecting?” In 1918, in a rush to celebrate the first airmail flight, the Post Of- fice Department issued the 24-cent Curtiss Jenny stamp. Because the design required two colors, sheets were placed on the printing press twice — first to apply red ink and a second time to apply blue ink. This process was given to human error — as stamp collectors at the time well knew. A Washington, DC, Post Office clerk — who had never seen an air- plane — sold a sheet of 100 stamps mistakenly showing the biplane upside down. For nearly a century, stamp collectors have chased the Inverted Jennys and have accounted for nearly all 100 of them. Unique to this stamp issuance, all sheets were individually wrapped in a sealed envelope to recreate the excitement of finding an Inverted Jenny when opening the envelope and to avoid the possibility of dis- covering a corrected Jenny prior to purchase. Individuals purchasing “corrected Jenny sheets” will find a con- gratulatory note inside the wrapping asking them to call a phone number to receive a certificate of acknowledgement signed by the Postmaster General. “We’re leveraging the incredible story behind the rare collectible as a creative way to generate interest in stamp collecting while highlight- ing the role the Post Office Department had in developing the com- mercial aviation industry,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. Just days after the Postal Service issued the new $2 version of the most publicized stamp error in U.S., Glenn Watson of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, purchased the new $2 version with the biplane fly- ing right side up. “I’ve been collecting U.S. and Canadian stamps for more than 50 years,” said Watson, who ordered his Inverted Jenny stamp sheet through the Postal Store on eBay. “By far this was a total surprise, and I can now relate to how stamp collector William Robey felt when he purchased the original sheet of 100 inverted Jennys in 1918. Clearly this right-side-up version will be the treasure of my collection. I hope this stamp will encourage younger generations to get involved in this educational hobby.” November 12, 2013 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 39
