Warwick students bring “Pocahontas” to life SUBMITTED BY KARI MARTELL

Over 60 Warwick Elementary School students practiced singing, dancing and acting for three months and made their debut performance in the musical “Pocahontas” on Friday, March 22. This group of talented kids gave it their all, bringing the non-Disney version of the heroic actions of one young American Indian girl to life on stage. The stage was populated with settlers, Algonquin Indians, animals, forest spirit dancers and a chorus, all backed up by a crew of student technicians who kept the lights and sound going. Second grade teacher April Bishop directed the performance, was supported by parents and teachers who volunteered to do everything from painting the special forest backdrop, making props, selling flowers at the per- formance and buying pizza for the cast party.

I confess. Much to my family’s chagrin, I drink wine from a box. That’s why the morning I spent in Doc’s Wine Shop in downtown Hayward was an epiphany, a door opened to an alien world—one filled with the light of knowledge: wine customs I didn’t know, wine facts totally new to me, and grape names and regions I’d never heard of. The charming, articulate, and encyclopedic purveyor of this viniculture, Darren Guillaume, is a certified sommelier, trained at the French Culinary Institute, and owner of Doc’s. Tall, impeccably dressed in suit and tie, Darren shows levels of knowledge - and confidence in that knowledge - that make him clearly an expert in his field. The main focus of his well-appointed shop is wine, mostly European wine, brands not found in other stores selling wine. And for every bottle, Darren can speak knowledgeably about the blend of grapes used, the region it’s from, the soil type in that part of the region, and the effect the different soils have on the taste and quality of the wine, and—very important—how long each wine may be stored before its quality ebbs. In addition, he can suggest foods that will go perfectly with each wine. Darren offers free wine-tastings every day, and even takes requests. He will also host parties of up to 25 people in his elegant little shop, a wonderful venue for clubs and friends. And beer lovers, don’t be put off by the title, “Wine Shop,” he also stocks amazing Belgian ales. In support of local education, Darren donated two fine bottles for auction at Hayward Education Fund’s March 22 Gala.

Never leave a child or pet alone in an unattended vehicle From 1998 to May 2011, a reported 500 children died in locked vehicles, according to Consumer Reports. Children and pets are less able to handle ex- treme heat and are more susceptible to hyperthermia, which can lead to brain damage, kidney failure and death. San Francisco State University (SFSU) put out a recent study that stated temperatures in closed automobiles rose approximately 19 degrees in just 10 minutes, even in moderately warm weather. The API (Animal Protection Insti- tute) conducted a study, which showed that even at 9 a.m., with an outside temperature of 82 degrees, the closed vehicle registered at 109 degrees inside. The study went on to say that if the automobile window was left cracked on an 88-degree day at 9 a.m., the vehicle turned into a 103 degree sauna, by 10 a.m. inside the vehicle. Leaving a child or pet in a vehicle remains a perilous choice, even for just a short time. Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle. If you should see a child in a hot vehicle, call 9-1-1 immediately.

The Fremont Fire Department responded to a report of a fire outside the structure at the 34311 Maybird Cir. First responding crews reported seeing smoke visible from the Fire Sta- tion on Deep Creek Road (Station 10). When fire crews arrived on scene they observed a fire on the exterior of the structure burning up the side of the house and into the attic. The fire was also spreading to the house next door. Both of these homes had wood siding which aided in the spread of the fire. Quick action by the first arriving company prevented the fire from continuing to extend to the neighboring home and they were able to knock down the bulk of the fire on the exte- rior of the primary home, but the fire had already spread into the attack space. As other crews arrived on scene, the fire was aggressively attacked from inside the structure, outside where it had begun and from the roof where it was continuing to spread. After about 30 minutes the crews were able to contain the fire, but not before it had done significant damage to the exterior and to the attic spaces. There was also quite a bit of water inside the structure due to firefighting efforts. Crews remained on scene for several hours ensuring there were no hid- den fires, cleaning up the damage and investigating the cause. At the time of the fire there was one occupant in the home whom was reportedly awakend and evacuated by a neighbor prior to the arrival of the fire department. The occupant later requested medical attention for symptoms not related to the fire. The occupant was evaluated by EMS personnel on scene and subsequently transported to the hospital. The incident was reported at 4:30 p.m. and crews were engaged for two hours and 45 minutes. Control of the fire was achieved at 5:12 p.m. Damage to the structure was estimated at $200,000 and contents, $50,000. Twenty-two FFD personnel and six equipment were involved.

Robbery suspects arrested

SUBMITTED BY FREMONT PD

During the early morning hours of March 25, 2013, a male victim was robbed at gunpoint by a male and female suspect. The robbery oc- curred on the street near the inter- section of Stevenson Blvd. and Besco Dr.; the victim attempted to solicit the services of a prostitute who had posted an ad online. As they conversed, he gets pushed to the ground and a black male adult with a 45 semi auto robs him of his $100. The “john” vehemently denies calling for services, despite his re- peated phone calls to her number prior to the robbery. The case was actively investigated by case agent Officer Taylor and other members of the Fremont Police Department’s Patrol Division. Investigative leads led to the iden- tity of suspects Joanna Rehart of Oakland and Deandre Brown of Oakland. The two suspects were tracked and located at a local Fre- mont motel. Evidence associated to the robbery was located inside their vehicle. Both suspects were arrested on March 26 for the robbery. If you have any information re- lating to this crime you are encour- aged to contact the Fremont Police Department Investigative Unit at 510-790-6900.

HerWorld event encourages women in technology

BY STEVE TAYLOR

Only about half of the population is working to solve the big problems in science, and that is not OK with everyone involved in “HerWorld 2013.” Males dominate few fields today, but aerospace and technology remain a “boys club.” After 408 female high school Juniors and Sen- iors attending the March 27th event at the NASA Aames Research Center at Moffett Field were through with their tours and training, that could change soon. More than a few young ladies from the 13 se- lected high schools stretching from Watsonville to on training developing improved manned Mars landing vehicles designs, for example. Wait, … manned? HerWorld might want another word for those missions. When a group of young ladies from Newark Memorial High experimenting with methods to keep a simulated “astronaut” (golfball) from being ejected during atmospheric re-entry were asked if they wanted to be scientists, none raised a hand. When asked about their future plans, Rhicka, 17, said she wanted to be an architect. Alyssa, also 17, said she wanted to be a Regis- tered Nurse. Teachers reading this are certainly screaming, “Those ARE sciences!” demonstrat- ing just how far we are from showing young people the real scope of science.

Even those that follow Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) track and expect a showdown between the Newark Memorial Cougars and James Logan Colts again this year, are taking note of the Mission San Jose Warriors. In a March 28 meeting with the Cougars, the War- riors hoped to pick up where they left off last year, a strong MVAL contender. This year, Warrior speed was evidence of hard work in the off season as they stayed close and competitive with Cougar runners. The Cougars were unable to shake off the Warriors but, in the end, had a bit more firepower to prevail. Newark Memorial now looks toward a meeting with League rival, James Logan on April 10.

For All Signs: Venus (the lover) and Mars (the warrior) are conjunct on April 6-7. The symbolism of this aspect covers the two weeks before April 6 until two weeks beyond the date. At this time we need to join loved ones in finding ways to resolve old difficulties and jointly resolve unpleasant history so we can move forward. If you cannot do this together, then do yourself a favor and adopt an attitude of forgiveness in your heart. Persons in relationships which are terminating would be wise to work toward positive closure at this time. This is the crossover point, the threshold of letting go of the old and beginning the new.

Featured speaker Vietnam Veteran Michael Martin, who served in the Navy, spoke of the experiences of those who fought in Vietnam at a Milpitas Rotary meeting March 12. Of the 2,594,000 who served there, 25% were draftees plus up to 15,000 civilian women; 58,229 died and 303,204 were injured. Almost 80 percent of the men who served had a high school education or better, a greater percentage than those who served in Korea and WWII. Not one combat unit surrendered to the enemy during nine years of fighting. Almost all Vietnam Veterans were honorably discharged. Martin presented pictures of young soldiers he knew, stationed near Da Nang. His photos showed how supplies were unloaded, moved, and stored as well as significant damage to structures from enemy attacks on nearby ammo depots.
