cation for their production group, the Essanay Film Manu- facturing Company. In June of 1913, production began on the first movie to be filmed in the new Niles studio. Eighteen months later, the Essanay Film Company found a gem when a young, up-and-coming actor joined their team—Charles Spencer Chaplin. Charlie Chap- lin became one of the most mem- orable figures of Essanay’s

studios, and memorabilia of his days spent in Niles can be seen all over the historic district. Chaplin was born in 1889 in London, England. He had a difficult childhood and was often left to care for his mentally ill mother. He lived in poverty and went twice to a workhouse as a young child.

Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease – and gluten sensitivity – is to follow a gluten-free diet. Washington Hospital dietitians recommend that people who are sensitive to gluten try to eat ‘cleaner,’ with fresh foods rather than processed foods that could have ‘hidden’ gluten, and also to include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Other grains, such as corn, rice, quinoa, flax and buckwheat are good choices, as well. Washington Hospital's Outpatient Nutrition Counseling program is available by appointment to provide nutrition counseling for individuals with specific medical needs. All nutrition counseling requires a physician referral. For more information, call (510) 745-6542. Currently, the only treatment for celiac instead of ‘breaded’ varieties.

Washington Hospital Seminar Offers Travel Tips Summer is almost here and for many people, that means va- cation time. Travel always requires some planning, but if you have diabetes, planning ahead is particularly important. With testing and medications, there are a lot of details involved that need to be considered. “I always say the most important part is the preparation be- fore you leave home,” said Sandra Mertesdorf, a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator at Washington Hospital. “You have to make sure you plan for any medical emergencies that could happen, and take all the necessary supplies and med- ications with you.”

continued from page 2 “The best thing you can do is to seek the guidance of a dietitian who can help you learn how to read ingredient labels properly,” she says. “A product label might not specify that it is gluten-free, but it may be. You also may want to consult your doctor about whether you should be taking a good broad-spectrum multivitamin, since gluten-free diets may result in nutrient deficiencies such as absorption of calcium, vitamin D, iron, and the B-vitamins folate, riboflavin and niacin.” People with celiac disease who wish to consume alcoholic beverages also must exercise caution. “Beer should be avoided, since it contains barley malt,” Alvari explains. “Many hard liquors also may be grain-based. Wines are often gluten-free, but it’s best to check with the vintner first.” One of the biggest challenges remaining for people who need to stick to a gluten-free diet is dining out at a restaurant. “Years ago, you couldn’t even find a gluten-free option on a restaurant menu,” Alvari observes. “Things are better now, but it’s a good idea to call ahead before going to a restaurant to see if they offer gluten-free dishes. You also should ask if they use separate equipment for preparing gluten-free food items. At Washington Hospital, we use separate equipment for our gluten-free foods to avoid contamination from other foods we prepare. I believe restaurants will be moving toward providing more gluten-free options soon.” Washington Hospital’s Outpatient Nutrition Counseling program is available by appointment to provide nutrition counseling for individuals with specific medical needs. All nutrition counseling requires a physician referral. For more information, call (510) 745-6542.

SUBMITTED BY SHARENE GONZALES

The Alameda County Water District (ACWD) and Excelitas Technologies combined efforts on May 30, 2013 as Excelitas volunteers painted murals on three ACWD facilities located along the Alameda Creek Trail, to deter graffiti and turn industrial-looking buildings into colorful displays of art. Volunteers also cleaned up areas along the Trail and at Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area. These efforts are sup- ported by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, City of Fremont, Fremont Cultural Arts Council, and the SUBMITTED BY FRANK JAHN East Bay Regional Park District.

The Alameda County Water District reminds Tri-City residents that continuing dry conditions underline the importance of water con- servation habits developed during the last drought. Although water supplies are currently adequate to meet demands, the next significant rainfall probably won’t occur until next autumn or winter. “Water stored in the Sierra snowpack typically accounts for 40% of ACWD’s water supply,” said Evan Buckland, ACWD’s hydrologist. “Unfortunately, it’s been very dry in the Sierras for the past two win- ters.

You’ve put off jobs in other industries. That new employee, after laying everyone off. Most importantly, while so all, needs to spend his salary somewhere, and some- many jobs are going overseas, you’ve resisted out- one needs to serve him. sourcing to China. Many of those other jobs, it should be noted, are professional in nature while few come from traditional manufacturing. Due to technological progress, we’re more productive than ever, so it takes fewer employees to produce goods. That, and globalization, hurts man- ufacturing but drives jobs in innovation. Globalization, says Moretti, is not detrimental for America. Letting other countries provide labor is great, as long as we have something to offer in exchange. “In a global economy,” he says, “you do not need to excel at everything.” The “principle of comparative ad- vantage” indicates that if we let other countries do what they do best while we do that in which we excel, then we can trade and everybody wins. Curiously, what we make for trade doesn’t matter. “What really matters,” Moretti says, “is that American workers produce goods or services that are innovative and unique and not easily reproduced. This is the only way to generate jobs that pay well in the face of stiff global competition.” So where are the jobs? That’s complicated, and “The New Geography of Jobs” has the answer, but it’s deep and wide. Author and economics professor Enrico Moretti uses science and hard data to show where the jobs are and why they cluster as they do. He offers ideas on how to end unemployment, he uses real busi- nesses as example, and he cites chilling statistics that Made in America is important to you, and you’re are employment-historical in nature. concerned about where our jobs are going.

SUBMITTED BY GUY ASHLEY

With final approval of the Alameda County Safe Drug Disposal Regulations in March of 2013, the MEDS Coalition under the leadership of Supervisor Nate Miley is hosting a one day conference May 30, 2013 to review the regulations in detail while supporting the development of a Product Stewardship Pro- gram in the County. The program features seasoned product stewardship leaders including Scott Cassell, Executive Director of the Product Stewardship Institute in Boston, MA; Ginette Vanasse, the Executive Di- rector of The Post Consumer Pharmaceutical Stewardship Association in Ottawa, Canada; and Heidi San- born, Executive Director of California Product Stewardship Council. Designed for drug manufacturers, pharmacy owners, pharmacists, and policy makers, the conference of- fers stakeholders the opportunity to learn directly about details of the regulations, model programs and pharmacy take-back sites. “We’re focused on supporting interested parties and helping them to understand the next steps in providing this vital service to Alameda County residents,” remarked Supervisor Miley. The Conference agenda will feature keynote speaker Stevan Gressitt, MD, founding director of the In- ternational Institute of Pharmaceutical Safety and Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Univer- sity of New England, College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Gressitt’s recent emphasis has been learning to maximize clinical benefits from understanding what medications go unused. This information would cer- tainly reduce the overall costs of medications for everyone. “I think we should humanize the process of dis- posing meds so we can get it done easily,” says Dr. Gressitt. The afternoon program focuses on the role of the pharmacy as ‘central’ to the take-back process, with speakers Ramon Castellblanch, Associate Professor of Public Health, San Francisco State, pharmacist Aaron- deep Basrai, from Hallers Pharmacy in Fremont, and Larry McCarty of Sharps Solutions, the company that regularly picks up the take-back bins from the San Francisco pilot program funded by a grant for PHARMA and Genentech, of South San Francisco. The program runs from 9 am to 3 pm at the Castro Valley Library, 3600 Norbridge Ave, Castro Valley, CA. The cost is $45 including lunch. The program will be available for participation through the web.

May 17 At 10:58 a.m., Officers investigated a home invasion robbery at a residence in the 36200 block of En- field Dr. Two Black Male Adults placed a gun in the face of the homeowner and ransacked the house. This occurred at 10:20 am. The victim was unable to provide any other description of the suspects because they placed a blanket over her face and forced her on the bed. All units responded to a residence in the 6400 block of George Ave. at 4:25 p.m. for a reported residential bur- glary in progress. Four juveniles fled the scene and were later captured. All juve- niles were issued citations and released to their parents for the burglary. Police Dispatch received a phone call from a Newark resident at 5:37 p.m. concerned about a mentally depressed relative. The caller advised the relative was possibly in possession of several firearms and had made suicidal threats. Newark officers responded to the residence in the 5500 block of McDon- ald Avenue and made telephone contact with the male. The Negotiators talk- ing with the male confirmed he was despondent and also heard several rounds being fired from inside the residence. Officers positioned around the resi- dence also heard numerous shots being fired from inside the residence. Crisis Negotiators attempted to diffuse the situation for approximately 45 minutes, but the male refused to surrender and threatened to shoot police. The male disconnected contact with the negotiators. Responding Newark Officers, using an armored rescue vehicle, positioned themselves near the residence. An armed male suddenly exited the residence and shot at the officers in the armored vehicle. Newark Police fired at the armed male striking him at least once. He has been transported to a local trauma center where he is being treated for a life threatening gunshot wound. May 19 At 12:54 p.m., Officer Eriksen investigated a carjacking at a residence in the 6200 block Lafayette Ave. The victim was walking to his vehicle when he was confronted by two Black Male Adults in their early 20’s.

George Walters donated the point of land where Bay Street joined “the Cor- ners.” When John Horner surveyed a road from Washington Corners to Centerville, the road pattern left a triangle of land. A 110 foot tall flag pole was erected on that prop- erty in 1887. This was one of our first parks. Early pictures show a wrought iron fence around the park.

Allied Waste Services, a Republic Services, Inc. company (NYSE:RSG), begins a 10-year trash, recycling and organics contract for residents and businesses in the City of Newark on June 1, 2013. Under this agreement, Republic will provide an enhanced recycling program that will support the city’s commitment to increase recycling participation and reduce its envi- ronmental impact. Republic will also service the city’s municipal waste needs, provide services for city sanctioned events, launch a recycling education campaign and implement compressed natural gas trucks on all collection routes. “This partnership is an exciting change for the City of Newark, its residents and businesses,” said Pam Enriquez, division manager for Republic Services of Alameda County. “The city will benefit through Re- public’s excellent customer service, dedication to the environment and various free and a la carte service options to fit the needs of each household and business.” “I’m confident that our decision to contract with Republic Services for Newark’s waste collection and recycling/composting needs is the right one for our residents and businesses,” said Susie Woodstock, ad- ministrative services director for the city of Newark. “Not only is it a sound partnership, it will also pro- vide customers with enhanced services that will increase the recycling rate in the city.” Added Enriquez, “We specialize in waste and recycling services on a day-to-day basis and are in a posi- tion to improve efficiency and provide service innovations to Newark.” Republic’s collection program will not change the basic services offered to customers in Newark. Residents will continue to receive three cart collection services for trash, recycling and organics. Multi-family residents and businesses are offered both cart and container service for the same three material types except food waste recycling. New to residents are senior citizen discount rates for age 70 and older, two free Newby Island Landfill passes per resident per year and pre-purchased overage bags for extra organic material. Residents will also continue to receive additional services that include motor oil recovery kits, pre-pur- chased bags for extra trash, three free on-call bulky collections per year, backyard services options for qual- ified seniors and disabled customers, vacation hold, sharps disposal by mail services and curbside collection of household batteries. The big change that comes along with Republic Services is the provision of new collection containers for residents and businesses. These containers will be delivered in May and early June, and the Waste Management containers will be removed. The containers have a new color scheme following Alameda County Waste Management Authority standards – blue for recycling, green for organics, and black or white for trash. Information on Republic Services of Alameda County, Newark collection services and rates can be found at republicservicesAC.com or by calling 510-657-3500.

In a regional move to counter the national epidemic of obesity and related health issues and costs, elected officials are taking the Mayors Trails Challenge to residents of Contra Costa and Alameda counties. “This is a way to show people that health and wellness can be fun and include outdoor recreation. It’s also a way we can help to address the regional and national issue of obesity,” said East Bay Regional Park District General Manager Robert E. Doyle. “It’s important for the health of our community for people of all ages to get active, and the Park District’s Trails Challenge is an easy way to do it, close to home.” The Mayors Trails Challenge is a product of the Alameda and Con- tra Costa Mayors Conferences, brought together by the East Bay Re- gional Park District which spans both counties. The two Mayors Conferences are challenging each other to get the most participants to register for East Bay Regional Park District’s free Trails Challenge pro- gram between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Now in its 20th year, the East Bay Regional Park District Trails Challenge offers a free, self-paced walking or hiking program featuring trails within the East Bay that comprise some of the most popular walking, hiking, biking, or equestrian destinations. Each registered Trails Challenge participant receives a T-shirt and electronic guidebook (computer or mobile application). Trails are rated for easy, moderate or challenging levels of activity.

The India Community Center of Milpitas celebrated a successful cooking extravaganza “Cook it up with ICC” with renowned chef, Maneet Chauhan and over 150 attendees. Chauhan has been featured on The Next Iron Chef, Iron Chef America, and Chopped, where she remains a judge. Chauhan kicked off the evening with a cooking demonstration, cre- ating dishes directly from her new book, Flavors of My World. Audi-

ence members watched in awe as Chauhan whipped up each plate with expertise and a charming demeanor. Embracing traditional Indian street food, the Golgappa Eating Competition featured ten men and ten women chosen randomly by Chauhan who faced each other in separate competitions to earn the title of ICC Gappa Queen and ICC Gol King. A popular street food commonly found in India, golgappas (also known as panipuri) are crispy deep fried spheres with hollow centers. Contestants raced against the clock as their stomachs expanded to house as many golgap- pas as possible within the allotted time frame to win a Gunter Wil- helm 8” Chef’s Knife. Poonam Ahuja succeeded as Gappa Queen, with 24 eaten in one minute, while Rajiv Nema became victorious as Gol King, with 30 eaten in one minute. For those who weren’t feeling as indulgent, contestants battled it out to see who would claim the title of ICC Chola Chef 2013. Sujata Bhomkar, Vinita Prasad, Shweta Saokar, Vaishali Ukirde and Madhu Walia whipped up their best chole to serve audience members, who in turn, would vote for their favorite. Chauhan also personally sampled each chole, with Vinita Prasad coming out on top with the most votes. Her chole boasts traditional style chole with hints of mango. The evening ended on a positive note, with Chauhan autographing books and a donor event. Page 16 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE May 28, 2013

The goal of Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days is to give all healthy, sen- ior and treatable shelter dogs and cats a second chance. As in past years, adoptions of dogs and cats will be free to qualified adopters. In return, Maddie’s Fund has set aside $4M so that it can give each shel- ter or rescue group $500 - $2,000 per adoption. The event raises awareness of shelter animals and their need for loving homes and focuses on the tireless efforts of the shelters and rescue organizations across the country that work so hard to save the lives of countless dogs and cats every day. The adoption event honors the memory of the foundation’s namesake, a Miniature Schnauzer named Maddie. Maddie’s Fund will pay organizations $500 per regular adoption, $1,000 for each adoption involving a dog or cat that is seven years of age or older OR has been treated for one or more medical conditions and $2,000 for each adoption involving a dog or cat that is seven years of age or older AND has been treated for one or more medical conditions.

SUBMITTED BY FUDTA AND FUSD

On Wednesday, May 15 at 6:45 p.m. the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) and Fremont Uni- fied District Teachers Association (FUDTA) signed a tentative agreement for a new three-year contract. FUSD and FUDTA began negotiating in March 2012 and have been at impasse since March 2013. The agreement includes a salary increase for Fremont teachers (the first since 2007), guaranteed secondary staffing averages, and other changes of mutual interest to the District and Association. Members of the Association will hold a ratification vote May 22 - 29; the District Board of Education will ratify the agreement at its June 12 board meeting. The term of the agreement is from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015. For the 2012-2013 school year, the agreement provides a 4 percent one-time off-schedule payment. For the 2013-2014 school year, the agreement provides a 1.5 percent salary increase (ongoing) guaranteed with a potential for an additional .5 percent salary increase (ongoing) contingent on additional funds coming to Fremont Unified for the 2013-2014 work year. The District Board of Education has already taken action to begin reducing grades K-3 and 7-12 class size levels. Other modifications to the contract include, but not limited to the areas of school calendar, de- partment chairs, fringe benefits, stipends, and transfers.

Omron celebrates with community service

SUBMITTED BY CITY OF UNION CITY

Each year, Omron Scientific Tech- nologies, Inc. celebrates their business anniversary (called “Founders Day”) by volunteering in their communities. This year, Omron Scientific Tech Inc. volunteered at Contempo Park in Union City on May 22, 2013. This is their seventh year volunteering in Union City. Omron employees planted 200 flowering shrubs and spread mulch at Contempo Park. The shrubs re- placed a water-guzzling lawn and also added color to the park. The whole time, the volunteers smiled and made the most of their hard work, and they were always very polite and helpful. After they finished their work, their company treated the employees to a BBQ. Omron Scientific Technologies, Inc. specializes in safeguarding prod- ucts that are used to protect workers.

Tri-City Stargazer MAY 29 – JUNE 8, 2013 BY VIVIAN CAROL

For All Signs: I’ve been describing the structure of revolutions. Step 1: The ruling class takes all the resources and then distances itself from the people. Step 2: The intellectuals develop a philosophy of freedom and rally the people. Step 3: The Powers fall and a group of moderate leaders take control. Step 4: The old infrastructure still remains in place. It re- quires too long to dismantle and make the big changes wanted by the people. Step 5: Fringe radicals are regrouping and becoming organized. Step 6: A reign of terror ensues while the radicals overwhelm the newly formed moderate government. Step 7: Eventually someone emerges as the new dictator. Step 8: Many pre-revolutionary patterns are restored and the people are left generally exhausted with the struggle. Ultimately little is changed. This is a revolutionary time for us all, personally and politically. Let us make it a time for the Good, rather than yielding to general destruction for its own sake.

Featured speakers Milpitas Relay For Life Chair Gail Erwin and Senior Manager Tarin Hurst discussed their annual Milpitas event to be held from 10 am Saturday, June 22, to 10 am Sunday, June 23, at the Milpitas Sports Center. Gail described how community groups form teams to individually raise funds to fight back against cancer. They camp out at the site and take turns walking or running around the track keeping a representa- tive on the track during the event. The Relay opens with the Survivors’ Lap. Survivors are celebrating proof that cancer can be defeated. When the sun sets and darkness falls the night is brightened by the glow of illuminated bags called luminaria, each bearing the name of a can- cer survivor or a victim. Each year, more than 4 million people in more than 5,200 communities in the United States, along with additional com- munities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in Relay For Life. Gail said their goal this year is to raise $65,000 in Milpitas.

Cougars victorious in first round of postseason play, falter in second

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

Newark Memorial’s Cougars are proving to be a tough act at North Coast Section (NCS) play. In post- season play on May 22 against the Rancho Cotate Cougars (Rohnert Park), a coordinated team effort gave our local Cougars the win 6-2. Giving up two runs early, Newark Memorial battled back with good defen- sive plays that kept Cotate runners from scoring. Runs scored in the second and fifth inning allowed the Newark Memorial Cougars to take control of the game. Relief pitcher Cal Stevenson stifled a late comeback attempt by the Rohnert Park Cougars, sealing the victory. Advancing to face the Clayton Valley Eagles in NCS play, the Cougars were unable to push any runners across home plate and lost 4-0 on May 24. With the loss, Newark Memorial’s season came to an end.
