he American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer (CoC) T has named Washington Hospital as one of only 79 organizations nationwide to receive its coveted Outstanding Achieve- ment Award based on cancer program sur- veys conducted during 2012. The hospital also is one of only three institutions in California to earn this recognition. The CoC Outstanding Achievement Awards are designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in pro- viding quality care to cancer patients. Award recipients include community- based facilities such as Washington Hospi- tal, teaching hospitals, comprehensive cancer centers, VA hospitals and network cancer programs that currently are accred- ited by the CoC. To maintain accreditation and be con- sidered for Outstanding Achievement Award recognition, these facilities must undergo a rigorous evaluation and an on- site review every three years. Washington Hospital also earned an Outstanding Achievement Award the last time the CoC conducted its accreditation review and on- site survey in 2009. Of the 79 Outstand- ing Achievement Award recipients for 2012, only 34 programs also received the award in 2009. “We are especially pleased to receive this award for the second time in a row,” says medical oncologist Vandana B. Sharma, M.D., PhD. “This second award serves as recognition that we are continu- ing to expand our cancer care services and that we are always looking forward to im- proving the care of cancer patients in our community.” Dr. Sharma serves as chair of Washing- ton Hospital’s Cancer Committee and Medical Oncology Department, as well as Medical Director of the hospital’s Cancer and Genetics Programs.

Washington Women’s Center Classes Focus on Preventing Falls and Reducing Neck Pain When you think of yoga, you may imagine someone sitting quietly in the lotus position and wonder how that could ever help prevent falls or reduce neck and back pain. The fact is there are a number of yoga techniques that can help you do both. “Yoga is all about the mind-body connection,” said Alecia Davis, a certified yoga instructor. “Yoga combines movement with deep breathing to increase flexibility, strength, and sta- bility while reducing muscle tension and stress.” Davis will share some yoga poses and stretches at two upcoming classes offered by the Washington Women’s Center. “Fall Prevention and Balance” is scheduled for Fri- day, May 17, from 12 to 1 p.m. Due to popular demand, a second session will take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. the same day. The classes will take place at the Washington Women’s Center Conference Room, located in Suite 145, at 2500 Mowry Avenue (Washington West) in Fremont.

Textile arts rely on culture and tradition. The early history of textile arts is also the history of in- ternational trade. In the Mediterranean, the desire for Tyrian purple dye stimulated trade among the ancient Phoenicians. Chinese silk was brought to India, Africa, and Europe on the Silk Road. Continuing to weave a story of culture and tradi- tion, Olive Hyde Art Gallery’s 45th Annual Textile Exhibit will open with a reception on Friday, May 10, and run through June 8. This annual exhibit began in 1968 in recognition of the Art Center’s original benefactor and textile art enthusiast, Olive Hyde. Primarily a quilt exhibition in its early years, the annual show currently spans a broad spectrum of textile arts. Textiles are indeed a fundamental part of human life. Although the functions of textiles have re- mained the same since the beginning of civilization, well known in the Bay Area as well as that of several the methods and materials used to make them have others who have exhibited extensively throughout greatly expanded. the United States. As one of Olive Hyde’s most popular exhibits, Seventeen contemporary Bay Area artists – Ann this year’s textile show will feature the work of artists May Baldwin, George-Ann Bowers, Jessica Cadkin, Linda Cline, Joan Dyer, Gayle Eleanor, April R. Gavin, Susan Helmer, Christine Knox, Laura Kamian McDermott, Barbara Meyers, Denise Oyama Miller, Chris Motley, Sarah Sherwin Roberts, Irene Schlesinger, Laurel Shackelford, and Gail Sim – create an exhibit featuring the spectrum of today’s Textile Arts. Chris Motley of San Francisco finds that the process of knitting can itself be a driving force in her art, with a piece developing differently from her original vision. Free from any preconceived notion of typical knitted fabric but armed with a lifetime of technique, a piece can emerge from pushing the boundaries of the stitches and the exploration of three dimensions for abstract pieces. Inspired by the natural world, Fremont’s Denise Oyama Miller’s work often focuses on intimate landscape scenes. “I love the challenge of taking an idea from one of my inspirations and interpreting it in fabric or watercolor. The challenge of taking an idea from inspiration to completed artwork is thrilling.” Christine Knox, also a Fremont resident, has ex- panded both her imagery and her use of mixed media. Her current work features truncated figures of women, caught mid-gesture. She uses diverse fab- rics, handmade papers, and acrylic paints. Joan Dyer uses fabrics to depict abstract forms from nature. Joan states, “My fabric art is created entirely by an intuitive process, with which I build my designs fairly quickly and freely. I learned tradi- tional methods of piecing by hand when I began this journey with fabric, but soon began to enjoy the design phase of fabric artistry.” Berkeley artist George-Ann Bowers finds inspira- tion for her art work during frequent adventures in the outdoors. Her weavings have appeared in several publications including “Fiberarts” magazine.

fascinating tour will examine different architectural styles and décor details of the Victorian era. William Meek, an agricultural pioneer and entre- preneur, built his Italianate mansion in 1869 and it served as the hub of his 3,000 acre orchard and farm. The distinctive cupola with windows looking out in all directions provided a perfect place to look out over his vast land holdings. The estate was left to his children following Meek’s death in 1880, and remained in the family until 1940. Space for the tour is limited and advance ticket purchase is highly suggested. Ticket prices are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors, students and HAHS members. Proceeds from the tours benefit the restoration of Meek Mansion.

Because they have welcomed diversity and championed the assets of all students, their culture of inclusion stands as a model for us all as we strive to have every child live up to his or her potential,” said Superintendent Jordan. “Equity in educa- tion is a priority for Alameda County and I am proud that the County is represented by the Durham school community’s award-winning accomplishments.” Durham Elementary will be honored at a regional award ceremony in May, along with the California Distinguished Schools and California’s nominees for the National Blue Ribbon Schools.

The physician can recommend an over-the-counter brand or prescribe a prenatal vitamin. Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential nutrients for pregnant women, but the only way to obtain them is through diet and fish oil supplements. They promote brain and eye develop- ment, according to Moore. Most pregnant women likely do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids because the major dietary source, seafood, is restricted to two servings a week, she added. Other sources include flaxseed and canola oil as well as walnuts. “Eating a nutrient-rich diet not only promotes the baby’s healthy development, it also helps pregnant women keep weight gain within healthy levels,” Moore said. “Weight gain should range between 11 and 40 pounds depending on what women weigh at the begin- ning of the pregnancy. Women should consult their physician to determine how much weight they should gain for a healthy pregnancy.” To learn about Comprehensive Pregnancy and Newborn Services at Washington Hospital, visit whhs.com/womens-health.

TriCity Women’s Club highlights ‘Business and Action’ SUBMITTED BY EDITH LOONEY

The May 21st meeting of the TriCity Women’s Club is “Business and Action.” The ‘Business’ part will be elec- tion of officers for the upcoming year, and the ‘Action’ part is the presentation of a check for more than $4,800 to Bernie Dutra, wife of former Assemblymember John Dutra, for the charity One Child. Fundraising has been on-going throughout the past year. Members have been paying to the charity through a monthly 50-50 raffle, personal donations, and last month’s White Elephant sale. The charity offers school clothes and supplies to needy children in the area. The hot lunch menu is meatloaf from Dina’s Restaurant and is served at noon for a cost of $18. Reservations are required. Call Pat @ 510-796-1229. Everyone is welcome. If games are your thing, check in from 9 – 9:30 a.m. Various tables of games are available. The lunch- eon meeting is at the Fremont Elks Club on Farwell Drive near Mowry Avenue (38991 Farwell Drive). The TcWclub is one of the oldest organizations in Fremont, started in 1963 as the Newcomers Club, a women-only organization. However, to maintain its non-profit standing, as with the formerly men-only clubs, this Club is now open to all. The annual dues for the organization are $20. Much of the effort of the members goes to ease the burden of the less fortunate. Each year, money and goods are raised and donated to various charities in the area. For more information and reservations, please call our Club President Marilyn Prows at 793-6830. Page 10 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE May 7, 2013 Pat Kite’s Garden

Dr. Morris explained that this will take the burden off of schools and will not affect current staff. En- rollment will be streamlined through- out the year, not only during the summer. Moving to an online system, rather than filling out multiple forms will make it easier to update and dis- seminate information. For this first year, the focus will be on the initial en- rollment function for kindergarten/el- ementary levels, and the assessment of language help, if needed. In year two, additional services and grade levels would be added on to the capabilities of the Enrollment Center. Presenting more details regarding the proposed Enrollment Center were Dr. Deborah Sims, Assis- tant Supt. for Instruction and Director of Pupil Services, Rickey Jones. They explained that initially there were meetings held with District school secre- taries to receive their input and discuss what the center could or should be – a “One Stop Service Center” designed to facilitate the enrollment process for families. Plans were then formulated. The first step would be for families to complete the enroll- ment application online.

Kaiser workers vote to stay SUBMITTED BY SEIU-UHW

Members of the SEIU–United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) at Kaiser Permanente hospitals and clinics across California voted to remain in their union, despite a concerted recruitment effort by the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) and the California Nurses Association (CNA). It was the largest private sector union election in the United States since 1941 at the Ford Motor Company. The results - 18,844 (58.4%) for SEIU-UHW, 13,101 (40.6%) for NUHW, and 334 (1%) for no union - were tabulated Thursday, May 2 by the National Labor Relations Board after a two-day count of mail-in ballots.

Following in the Montessori tradition of “learning by doing” the students have been working hard to become diplomats, politicians and orators by attending Model United Nations (MUN) and Junior State of America (JSA) conventions all over Northern Cali- fornia. According to 10th Grader, Abizer Lokhandwala, these lessons really do take root. “My experience at Model UN and JSA has been very rewarding. I have had the opportunity to speak at many debates on controversial topics, and learned many important things about public speaking, campaigning, and people in general. This knowledge has applications not only in politics, but in almost everything - the ability to speak is crucial for success in life, and Model UN and JSA really teaches and enforces this skill.” But it is not just debate and public speaking that the students learn, they also learn valuable life skills “The one thing that all us MUN and JSA-goers share: the dedication not only to express ourselves but to hear others out” said 9th grader Rishabh Singhal, “ a skill I wish politi- cians would share” he added. “We try to impress upon the students that they are learning to be re- sponsible adults and so we have them model that behavior,” said their ad- visor and history teacher, Carter McCoy. “Plus as a very small school I believe it is important to get the students engaged with the outside world as frequently as possible. It helps them develop socially and academically but they also have a great time doing it. Both Model UN and JSA are great programs and allow opportunities for students to develop leadership skills, organizational acumen and confidence as well.” But what really impressed some of the students about the JSA Spring State convention was the student run nature of the event. “The convention was completely student run, but felt like a professional conference.” Said Devin Bog, a 9th grader at the school as they packed up the van and headed home. Added Mr. McCoy “It’s great that the Montessori philosophy allows us the freedom to bring classroom les- sons to life.” To learn more about Alsion Montessori Middle and Early College High School program please visit www.alsion.org or attend their New Par- ent Information Night, May 9th beginning at 5 p.m. 750 Witherly Lane, Fremont CA 94539.

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTO BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

In Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) baseball on May 1, John F. Kennedy’s Titans again beat the James Logan Colts to put the league in a tight contest for the championship. With the Titan triumph 3-0, Colt aspirations were muted; a second upset as the American Eagles defeated the Washington Huskies 6-3, tightened the league even more. With only five games left in the season, MVAL is no longer dominated by any single team. The Titans put on an impressive performance as the shut down the Logan offense and played great defense throughout the game. In the top of the second inning, Titans catcher made the defensive play of game as he tagged Logan’s Isaiah Bond at home plate to stall Colt momentum. Titan Darren Williams had a good day on the mound, holding the Colts to three hits. Titan hitting stars of the day were Raiden Dancil, Ronnie Lozano and Pablo Artero with big hits at criti- cal times. Pablo Artero relieved Williams at the mound and closed the game for the Titans.

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (CA-15) bill, H.R. 1022, the Securing Energy Critical Elements and American Jobs Act 2013 is included in the WEB MASTER House Democratic Leadership’s “Make it in America’ jobs plan for the 113th Congress.

LEGAL COUNSEL Currently, China generates 97 percent of the world’s energy critical elements supply, also known as rare earth elements, which have Stephen F. Von Till, Esq. applications in everyday smart phones, clean tech innovations like hybrid cars and U.S. military needs, such as cruise missiles. H.R. 1022 aims to ensure a reliable supply of rare earth elements by directing the Department of Energy (DOE) to create research opportu- nities for university students in rare earths so America can develop a national technical expertise in the field. It also establishes a DOE loan guarantee program to spur private investment in the innovative technologies that will enable the United States to recycle or more efficiently use rare earth elements, or extract them responsibly. “Reinvigorating our manufacturing sector is the best way to create high-skill, high-wage jobs that won’t be outsourced. Right now, ADJUDICATION: China controls our rare earth elements supply and the manufacturing benefits that result but we can change this through smart invest- ments in our talents and technologies,” said Rep. Swalwell. “I am proud that my bill was selected to be part of the Democrats’ ‘Make It What’s Happening’s Tri-City Voice In America’ jobs plan which rightfully supports the development of a strong and competitive manufacturing base, so we can accom- is a “newspaper of general circula- plish our bipartisan goal of putting more Americans back to work.” tion” as set forth in sections 6000, The ‘Make It In America’ legislation is focused on making progress in four key areas: developing a national manufacturing strategy, et. seq., of the Government Code, increasing manufacturing exports, encouraging businesses to bring innovation and jobs back home, and investing in training and se- for the County of Alameda, and curing a 21st century workforce. the State of California.

Fremont hosts legislative event SUBMITTED BY CITY OF FREMONT

On May 2, 2013, the City of Fremont hosted Federal, state and local elected offi- cials and regional partners at its second an- nual Legislative Event, which took place at the local Tesla Motors manufacturing facility. The event opened with remarks by Mayor Bill Harrison, and focused on the factors contributing to Fremont’s success as well as the City’s key legislative priorities. The event also featured Congressman Mike Honda, Congressman Eric Swallwell, and Kish Rajan from Governor Brown’s Office to discuss key legislative priorities for economic and com- munity development, sustainability, trans- portation and infrastructure. An overview of the City of Fremont’s eco- nomic climate and Warm Springs update was provided by Kelly Kline, Fremont’s Economic Development Director. All of the speakers ad- dressed the unparalleled advantage Fremont offers for companies and professionals in the manufacturing, life science and clean tech in- dustries. Advantages include a 5-year Fre- mont business tax exemption to qualified businesses; assistance with business expansion and relocation; and a responsive development process. Energy consultant, Christine Hert- zog, shared in-depth analysis that explains why so many clean tech companies are find- ing Fremont the ideal spot for their opera- tions and described future opportunities to grow this sector’s presence and success. “Fremont has quickly become an inno- nomic and community development create The event highlighted the City’s focus Springs/South Fremont BART Station vation hub for manufacturing and clean a vibrant place that residents can be proud on economic stimulus programs, a broad west entrance, Warm Springs/South Fre- tech, while at the same time providing resi- of and a booming environment that en- array of housing initiatives and sustainable mont area transportation infrastructure, dents and businesses with an ideal place to ables companies to create the most cutting- development.

Swalwell applauds reversal of TSA knives policy

SUBMITTED BY ALLISON BORMEL

U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (CA-15) has praised the federal Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) decision to delay implementation of its revised prohibited items policy that would allow certain knives and sporting equipment on board airplanes until further engagement with stakeholders such as flight attendants and pilots. Swalwell, a Mem- ber of the Homeland Security Committee Transportation Subcommittee, led the effort opposing this change in policy, including coordinating a bipartisan letter signed by 133 Mem- bers of Congress calling on TSA Administrator John Pistole to repeal the policy until TSA properly engages with stakeholders. “The TSA’s announcement is welcome news for airline passengers and crews,” said Swalwell. “I appreciate that TSA Administrator Pistole listened to the 133 Members of Congress who signed our letter asking for this reversal in policy, stakeholders like pilots and flight attendants and the general public who oppose this disturbing decision. This delay in imple- mentation is a positive step by the Administrator that will allow stakeholders to have their rightful input into a decision that directly affects their safety and that of the flying public.” Page 38 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE May 7, 2013 Student author releases second book

For All Signs: Eclipses generally come in pairs, one at the new moon and the other at the full moon. This eclipse season we have three. The full moon of April 25 in the sign of Scorpio started the cycle. On May 9, we have the New Moon in the opposing sign, Taurus, at 8:28 p.m. EDT. The third eclipse will occur on May 25 near midnight EDT. Between the second and third eclipses, we have one more square of Uranus and Pluto (see next week). Given the world event preludes in April, there will likely be no one left untouched by the end of May.

He has faced a series of tough questions on the subject and has qualified as a national semi-finalist for the United States Geography Olympiad. Omkar Salpekar represented Moreau Catholic High School, Hayward at the US Geography Olympiad, held in Washington DC on April 25, 2013. Knowledge of this discipline was a natural outcome of his interest in maps and geography books since he was in fourth grade. At a young age, Omkar focused on memorizing countries and capital cities throughout the world. Last year, Omkar placed tenth at the California State Geography Bee finals. Through a series of exams and Quiz Bowl rounds this year, Omkar has advanced to become a semi-finalist. He is one of the top 12 contestants in the Junior Varsity division (students born on July 1, 1997 or thereafter). Want to try to answer some introductory questions of the Ge- ography Olympiad?

The Washington Huskies kept pace for the top spot in the Mission Valley Athletic League as they beat Kennedy 7-2 on May 3. Bouncing back after a disappointing game last week in which they lost to the American Eagles 6-4, the Huskies needed a win to remain even with the Newark Memorial Cougars record of 7-2. That is just what they did as they scored seven runs on nine hits. Brandon Sewell put together a great day at the mound as he pitched all seven innings with a great fastball that hit the mark all day long and a slider that left Titans batters guessing. The Husky offense started early in the second inning when balls began to shred the Titan infield defense and find holes in the deep outfield. This has become a trademark of Husky base- ball this year. Struggling from behind throughout the game, the Titans finally found a way to score in the seventh inning, but it was too little and too late.
