Republic Day holds historic value in the heart and mind of every Indian. January 26 honors the date when the citizens of India began to govern themselves by choosing their own govern- ment. The path to self-rule was not easy. Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, discovered India in 1498. Portuguese were the first European power to arrive to India, but they were isolated due to lack of resources to maintain an empire. The British and the French then took control in 1961. Britain ruled India as a colony and would relinquish power only after a long struggle. During World War II, India was controlled by the British who had declared war with Germany.

In this hilarious Simon comedy, balding restaurateur, Barney Cashman, thinks he can cure his raging mid-life crisis with extra-marital trysts carried out at his mother’s apartment. Unfortunately, his clumsy attempts at seducing three women in succession – a fiery, demanding Italian woman, a weird but attractive actress and the repressed wife of a friend - all end catastrophically.

Though it does sometimes descend into labora- tory-worthy academia, “The Tell” is, overall, an en- joyable, informative book to read. Obviously fascinated with the topic, author Matthew Hertenstein lends that enthusiasm to this book quite well, making us excited to take people- watching (and hiring) to another level. We learn why we’re inexplicably drawn to some people more than others; how we can predict the outcomes of marriages and sales; how we make friends and fall in love; and how we can be better teachers, parents, and co-workers. In his introduction, Hertenstein warns that this is not a self-help book and he often urges caution for snap-judgments. Here, you’ll learn why. If you’ve ever sized up a situation quickly and felt small about it later, “The Tell” is highly recommended.

SUBMITTED BY MICHELLE POWELL

Sometimes a little light reading leads to unexpected benefits. For Newark resident Binh Dao, reading Union Sanitary District’s (USD) “Customer Focus” newsletter led to him winning the District’s “Win Free Sewer Service For A Year” contest, and a re- bate in his holiday mail. The contest was a feature in the eighth annual issue of USD’s “Customer Focus” newsletter, which was delivered to all residents and businesses in the Tri-City area in October 2013. The newsletter is published to inform the District’s customers about the utility and the services it provides. It can be read online on USD’s “Links and Glos- sary” page at www.unionsanitary.ca.gov. The most recent issue explained the journey of treated wastewater after it leaves the District’s plant in Union City, and highlighted the thousands of tests performed in its state-certified laboratory to ensure that USD’s treated effluent is clean enough to be re- leased to the San Francisco Bay. Additional articles explained the responsibilities of USD’s Board of Directors and the District’s role as a steward of public assets and pro- tector of public health. Newsletter readers were encouraged to visit USD’s website and complete an online survey that entered them into the contest. A computer program randomly chose Dao’s entry number as the winner. Dao, who works as an electronics technician at Themis Computer in Fremont, en- joyed learning about USD’s treatment processes. “Wastewater treatment is real science; I didn’t know much about it before reading the newsletter,” he commented. He was pleased to discover that USD offers tours of its Alvarado Treatment Plant in Union City, and plans to visit soon to learn more about the District. Dao and his wife, Ngo Kimanh, have lived in Newark for about ten years. They re- ceived a check to offset the residential sewer service charge of $337.76 that was billed along with their property tax this year. Dao confessed that he “already had the win- nings spent” on holiday shopping and home improvement projects. For more informa- tion, visit www.unionsanitary.ca.gov.

More than 225,000 students have participated in the annual event since it was created in 1991. On January 25, teams from various local high school students will compete at the regional level. The day-long event will take place on Saturday, January 25 at Las Positas College in Livermore. Local high schools competing in the regional competition are: American High school, Fremont Irvington High School, Fremont James Logan High School, Union City John F Kennedy High School, Fremont Leadership Public Schools (LPS), Hayward Milpitas High School, Milpitas Mission San Jose High School, Fremont Mount Eden High School, Hayward The winner of the regional competition will receive an all-expenses- paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the Office of Science’s National Science Bowl scheduled for April 24 – 28, and the winner of the national competition will win prizes for the team members and their schools. During the competitions, teams of four students face off against one another in a fast-paced, question and answer format. They’ll be challenged to solve mathematical problems and tested on their knowl- edge of a wide range of disciplines including astronomy, biology, earth science and physics.

LETTER THE THE EDITOR Happy 70th Allow students to use the restroom Anniversary when they have the urge

Armida & Raymond Garcia I am a credentialed special education teacher, a mother of a special needs child, and an ad- vocate for other children with special needs. I recently worked for four months as a special education teacher for the New Haven Unified School District at Cesar Chavez Middle School in Union City. I loved my job; I especially enjoyed helping those students with special needs that for some reason were placed in special day classes for the wrong reasons, those who were bullied and those who were trying very hard to be mainstreamed. At the risk of being disciplined I brought some concerns to the school assistant principals about students’ complaints, such as bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, and violations of the safeguard rights. I rebelled against some unfair rules that the school has; one of those rules is denying students the right to use the bathroom during class time. My co-workers told me that this is what I should say when students asked me if they could use the restroom: “Are you willing to pay me back ten minutes of your time during break, lunch, or after school?” On one occasion, while observing my mentor teacher teaching her class, I heard a student ask permission to use the restroom and the teacher responded with the standard line. Obviously the student answered “no” and they held their urge until recess or lunch time. I am not a doctor but I believe it is not healthy for children to hold their bladder when they are feeling the urge; therefore, on some occasions I would allow some of my students to go to the bathroom. But as a new employee and not wanting to get in trouble for breaking the school rules, I would first make sure that there were no other teachers around, and once the hallway was clear I would let the kids leave the classroom. Let’s not forget that these are Special Education children and some have physical and emotional challenges, and they may not have the same ability to control their bladder or bowels as everybody else. At an IEP meeting a parent of one of my students brought out the issue of her son developing a bladder infection, and the assistant principal responded that she needs to bring a doctor’s note in order to let him use the restroom. Please join me to end the denying of using the restrooms during class time. By signing this petition we send a message to Mireya Casares, Cesar Chavez Principal; Arlando Smith, Co- Interim Superintendent at New Haven Unified School District; District Board member Linda Canlas and other school officials to take a look at their bathroom rules and stop telling Married January 17, 1944 their students that they can only use the bathrooms if they are willing to pay back ten min- utes during their special time. When nature calls, it calls without checking if it is recess time, Congratulations from your family, lunch time, or after school hours. Many of our special education students cannot wait too long, and they should be able to go when they need to. 9 children, 16 grandkids, 24 great grand- To sign the petition, go to http://chn.ge/1cNMY0Y.
