Azhahini Krishnamoorthy has always been an ardent admirer of the arts, whether visual or performing. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the American High sophomore decided to turn her passion for design into a business, thus creating Hini’s Cases, where she’d sell hand-designed phone cases. “I wanted to start a business that would incorporate [the arts], and I wanted to sell a product that everyone would enjoy as well,” Krishnamoorthy says. She also notes that her love for “donating to charity, helping others, and giving back,” greatly influenced her decision to start her charity-based business. Hini’s Cases operates its business venture entirely online, using the social media platforms Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, where customers can find a range of trendy, pre-designed phone cases to choose from. In addition, customers also have the option to order a custom case, which allows them to request an entirely new design or incorporate photos, text, and different colors into an existing design. To order, customers reach out to Krishnamoorthy through any of the platforms mentioned above with their design requests. Orders within a ten-mile radius are delivered directly to the customers’ doors, while all other U.S. orders are shipped. Once they’ve ordered a product, customers may choose a charity that receives 50% of the profit. In the past, Hini's Cases has donated to various non-profits, including COVID-19 relief funds, the American Red Cross, and UNICEF. While social media has had a significant role in boosting the business’s success, Krishnamoorthy mentions that relying entirely on the platforms has made it challenging to promote her business “in person.” But she quickly found that using social media had its benefits: “Social media has helped me connect with other small business owners that I've never met in person before. [I can] learn from them, learn different things, and it’s an overall good experience for me.” Currently shipping only within the U.S., Krishnamoorthy hopes to expand her business internationally in the future. However, the ultimate goal is to convert to a non-profit organization, to further the contributions Hini's Cases makes to the community. “After [the business becomes] a non-profit organization, one hundred percent of the profits will be going to charity!” Her advice to other teens aspiring to become small business owners is to “figure out what you love doing, and what you enjoy, and find a way to incorporate that into your business so that if you have a setback or face a challenge, you won't get demotivated and you won't feel sad about it because that’s what you love doing.” She adds, “Don’t expect your business to become successful right away, it takes time, and you need to be patient and persevere!”

Perlite is a white volcanic glass that has a high-water content. It is only a glass in the technical term as it is not shiny but rather looks like small Styrofoam balls. When used in a planting medium it keeps the soil loose and provides excellent drainage and aeration. It can also provide humidity for house plants as the water it retains steadily evaporates. However, its high fluoride content can cause houseplants’ leaves to brown at the tips, and it is not a renewable resource—so use it sparingly. Fir bark is the most popular bark for growing orchids.

continued from page 1 named after the 626 area code region of San Gabriel Valley, northeast of Los Angeles. We chose “Coming Home” as our theme for 2021 because “home” is a place of familiarity and nostalgia where you see all your friends and family again after a long time like a family reunion. We severely missed all our attendees, vendors, artists, performers and staff last year when Covid put a pause on 2020. If this is your first time attending one of our events, then we hope that 626 Night Market will become your home too. 626 Night Market aims to unite and empower the community by serving as a platform for showcasing local talent including performers, chefs, and entrepreneurs. Tickets are $5 plus feeds, and are available online only. You cannot purchase tickets at the gate. Children 3 and under are free. Parking is $10 – Credit card only.

626 Night Market Friday – Sunday August 6 - 8 August 20 – 22 September 24 - 26 3 p.m. – 11 p.m. Alameda County Fairgrounds 4501 Pleasanton Ave., Pleasanton (Gate 8 or 12 off Valley Ave) 626nightmarket.com/tickets-bay-area August 3, 2021 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 17

DUI patrols, checkpoint planned in Hayward

SUBMITTED BY SGT. TASHA DECOSTA, HAYWARD PD

Hayward Police Department (HPD) will have additional officers on patrol throughout the city starting at 6:00 p.m. Friday, August 6 who will be specifically looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Additionally, starting at 7:00 p.m. they will operate a DUI/driver license checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the city. Both operations will continue until 2:00 a.m. the next day. DUI checkpoints and patrols are done in locations with a history of DUI-related collisions and arrests. During the checkpoint, officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing. A DUI charge is not cheap. Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license and possible jail time. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In our divided world, there are many different opinions on climate change. Some say it doesn’t exist. Some say it exists, and it’s all our fault. Some say it exists, and is an integral part of our planet’s history. Whatever the opinion, the bottom line is that this is the planet we live on, and we’d better take care of it. That is the thought behind the Hayward Arts Council’s virtual show “Climate Change: Love and Compassion for Our Planet.” From July 23 to September 18, thirty different local artists, using a variety of mediums, have come together to warn of climate change, and to celebrate Earth. Some focus on endangered species, from exotic plants by Jeanne Bertolina, to the “Great Egret” by Marjorie Lynne Wagner, to a brilliant monarch butterfly, photographed by Claudia Schwalm. For some, drought is a recent omen of change, from “Barren Trees” in acrylic by Maria Luisa Penaranda, to shrinking “Lake Temescal in Drought,” fabric art by Dolores Vitero Presley, to “Golden—the new Green,” a poem by Bruce Roberts. In this fire-ripe season, the eerie background of orange skies overarching our world supports “Odd Day in The Park” and “Daylong Omen,” by Ruey Lin Syrop, as well as “Still Life Under an Orange Sky,” by Slate Quagmier. Perhaps the clearest message of humankind’s position in this theme is “Hold On,” Pat Doyne’s pen and ink drawing of a tree with large, rambling roots gripping, embrac- ing, the earth below. Oils, acrylics, photography, and watercolors are well-represented here, as well as mixed media, ink and pencil, etching, and even poetry. One unique piece is created from fabric. All are vivid and thoughtful in celebration of our climate and our planet. So, to colorfully celebrate our planet, and at the same time note its oncoming changes, check out the virtual exhibit of the Hayward Arts Council at https://www.haywardartscoun- cil.org/environment-gallery. It is a worthwhile and rewarding show that runs through September 18. Enjoy!
