Annual! What a great word. Just as June rolls around again every year, so does the best party in the Bay Area. Before last year’s memories of twinkling lights and su- percilious howler monkeys have faded, here’s your chance to make it happen again – make it better, make it exciting. Oakland Zoo’s “Walk in the Wild,” also known as an Epicurean Escapade, is happening on Saturday, June 27. If you’ve been to this event before, I know you’re already planning on going this year – it’s addictive. If you have never attended, here’s what to expect: 120 vendors of fine food,

Weather Conditions and Joint Aches and The Biology Behind Blushing

Dear Doctor, My joints seem to ache whenever the weather is overcast. Is there any science behind this?

Dear Reader, There is a link between joint pain and the weather. When there is a drop in barometric pressure the tissues around the joint can swell and put added pressure onto an already sensitive area. In many cases the barometric pressure drops before the weather changes, which may explain how some people seem to “predict” the weather with their joints!

Dear Doctor, Why do we blush when we are embarrassed?

Dear Reader, Blushing is a natural response that usually accompanies embarrassing behavior. It occurs in response to the activa- tion of the sympathetic nervous system, or the fight-or- flight response. A release of adrenaline increases blood flow to parts of the body, including the cheeks. It has been well studied and is even considered a positive social attribute!

Additional Health Concerns for Adolescents And then there are all the health topics that teens might be embarrassed to discuss with their doctors – such as puberty, sexual development and activity, eating disorders, drug or alcohol use, smoking, depression and suicidal thoughts. Dr. Curran notes that ignoring a potentially embarrassing health problem won’t make it go away, and it might make the problem worse. “Doctors have seen all kinds of health problems and answered in- numerable questions about every imaginable health topic, so they’re not going to be surprised or alarmed by any health issue a teen might raise,” he says. “Your teen’s doctor is interesting in keeping patients healthy, not in criticizing or judging them,” he emphasizes. “Adolescents might want a private exam and consultation. Teens do have a right to privacy with respect to concerns about sexually transmitted diseases and contraception. If a teen’s life – or someone else’s life – is at risk, the doctor may be required to disclose private information. You should ask your family doctor about his or her policy for keeping a teen’s health discussions confidential.” Learn More Part 1 of this series on adolescent health concerns, “Tips To Help You Keep Your Teenager Fit This Summer,” appeared in the June 9 issue of the Tri-City Voice.

Millions of gallons lost in vandalism SUBMITTED BY FRANK JAHN, ALAMEDA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT

On May 21st, the Alameda County Water District was the victim of an act of vandalism that destroyed district equipment and resulted in the loss of nearly 50 million gallons of water. Fremont Police believe that the perpetrators entered a restricted area sometime that morning and intentionally damaged an inflatable dam on Alameda Creek. The dam, which is instrumental to the district’s water supply operations, suffered irreversible damage. More than 150 acre-feet of water – or 49 million gallons – washed past the destroyed dam and into the San Francisco Bay. The water was to have been percolated into the Niles Cone Groundwater Basin for use by residents and businesses in Fremont, Newark, and Union City as a critical water supply. This amount of water is enough to supply the needs of approximately 500 homes for one year. District staff was able to quickly open upstream diversions, allowing water which would have been impounded behind the dam to flow into nearby groundwater recharge facilities, thus eliminating further water loss. “This is a very significant loss of water under any circumstances, and more so in the drought conditions we are experiencing,” said ACWD General Manager Robert Shaver. “It is an utterly senseless, destructive, and wasteful thing to do.” While the water loss was substantial, the District does not believe it will have a long-term impact on its water supply operations. ACWD delivers more than 47,000 acre-feet of water each year to more than 81,000 homes and businesses in the tri-city area. An acre-foot of water is the amount needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot, or 325,850 gallons. District staff also has begun work on securing a replacement for the dam, which was constructed in 1971. Because of the dam’s age, much DID YOU KNOW? of the work of identifying vendors and equipment already was under- Insurance Companies Have A Limit way.

State Senator Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) has selected Porifera, Inc. (www.porifera.com) as the Small Business of the Year in the Tenth Senate District. The company was honored on June 10 along with several others from throughout California, during a celebration of small businesses in Sacramento. “Porifera is doing pioneering work in the water treatment field and its projects are being recognized by several important state and national agencies. I am proud that this innovative company flourishes in the 10th Senate District, home to much of our state’s clean tech economy,” Wieckowski said. Porifera, based in Hayward, has successfully executed projects for the Department of Energy, NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation to demonstrate and design water treatment systems that are energy-efficient. Earlier this year, the Cali- fornia Energy Commission recommended Porifera for $5.7 million in awards for developing advanced water treatment systems. The awards are granted for pilot demonstration testing with a variety of customers in California’s agricultural, industrial and water sectors. “I want to thank Senate Wieckowski for honoring Porifera with this Small Business Award,” said Porifera CEO Olgica Bakajin. “We appreciate the opportunity to develop and grow our unique technologies in Hayward and believe our forward osmosis technology provides high quality water treatment at a low cost.” California Small Business Day is dedicated to recognizing the con- tributions of small business to the state of California. Senator Wieckowski represents the 10th Senate District, which stretches from southern Alameda County to parts of Santa Clara County. Cypress Mandela

BY FRANK ADDIEGO

In an effort to offer a future to young men who have fallen into trouble with the law, the City of Union City has teamed with the Cy- press Mandela organization, offering at-risk, gang affiliated and incar- cerated youth a chance for a brighter future. At a city council meeting, held May 26th, Union City recognized the achievements of the city’s Cypress Mandela satellite program and first graduating class. Youth and Family Services Department of Union City worked to set up the satellite training facility last year at the Bernard-White Middle School Kids Zone in Union City. Nancy George of Kids Zone and New Haven School District said, “I am extremely proud of this group behind me in their uniforms and hats who are making us very, very proud and putting the name of the Union City satellite program of Cypress Mandela on the map.” The graduating class is from Hayward, Union City, Newark and Fre- mont. “They showed me that I had a higher limit,” said Luis Arroyo, a graduate of the program. Other graduates of the program spoke at the meeting, praising its impact on them, including Ricky Zahn who said, “To be honest, I’m gonna miss it.” Art Shanks, the Program Director of Cypress Mandela said of the satellite campus, “Never have I seen a city put something together so fast that was so positive.” During the ceremony, Alameda County Supervi- sor Richard Valle presented the program with a check for $20,000. “We work with really high risk youth; they have some barriers,” said Patricia Abadesco, Program Man- ager of Youth & Family Services, “Let’s say they’ve been arrested and or have felonies so it’s hard for them to get living wage jobs… I think the trade is something that attracts them.” The Cypress Mandela organization was founded in 1993 to create jobs in West Oakland after the Cypress Street Viaduct was damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake four years earlier. “They essentially prepare anyone who’s 18 or older, is a US Citizen and a high school graduate to enter the building trades within a sixteen week program,” said Sergio Abundis Case Manager for Youth and Family Services, “we’ve been sending people to them over the last five years to help clients who have barriers to find jobs at a living wage.” Take action at Relay for Life

Omron volunteers improve the landscape

SUBMITTED BY NELSON KIRK

Volunteers from Omron Scientific Technologies, Inc., a safety de- vice manufacturing company in Fremont, celebrated their Founders Day by spreading mulch in Union City on Alvarado Niles Road. This is the eighth year Omron has volunteered in Union City. Last year they planted the Japanese maple collection at City Hall. The mulch will help us reduce herbicide use, improve the soil, and conserve soil moisture. And it also looks good! June 16, 2015 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 13

Want to infuse your home with architectural interest? Start at the top. "The ceiling is really he most overlooked design element in a space, hands down," said Brian Patrick Flynn, whose interior designs are regularly featured on HGTV.com and often showcased by his own company, FlynnsideOut Productions. Consider this: The largest solid surface in a room - besides the floor - is the ceiling. Instead of leaving it bright white or builder beige, convert this blank canvas into a decorative canopy of color and texture. Flynn and other influential designers are forecasting a ceiling "revival" in 2015. Fresh interpretations of vintage styles - such as gleaming metal tiles and textural wood beams - are helping inspire that trend, along with new, easy-to-install products that put these ceiling projects well within the reach of today's DIY-ers. "Just like people, rooms need different layers to be one-of-a kind," Flynn said. "That includes a ceiling that makes people look up and scan the entire space." Here are some hot ceiling trends to take your rooms to new heights: Layer on the luster Stamped metal ceilings have contributed shine and sophistication to American homes since they were introduced in the 1880s. Besides beauty, metal ceilings offer quite some practicality. They resist mold and mildew, offer sag resistance and last longer than plaster or dry- wall. Metallaire metal ceiling tiles from Armstrong are available in twelve patterns, and a variety of finishes, including chrome, copper, brass, white and lacquered steel. The lacquered steel panels also can be painted to accent or blend with the rest of the room. Regardless of the fin-

ish, the texture of the tiles creates a tactile top layer to the space. Mix and match ceiling styles Some room designers are combining different decorating elements at the top, such as inlaying the recesses of coffered ceilings with gold or copper tiles. Flynn said he's also a fan of tongue-and- groove ceilings accented with beams. "This adds a ton of visual interest to the room, and can make it feel much larger," he said. Create character with wood From rustic timber to sleek teak, wood hues help set the tone in a room. Besides imparting a sense of warmth, the grains and knots in wood panels add a textural layer that contrasts nicely with smooth surfaces like painted walls and gran- ite countertops. Add architectural depth Coffered ceilings first appeared in Roman ar- chitecture, and their geometric elegance has graced grand buildings ever since. Today, the cost and complexity of building coffered ceilings have been reduced by lightweight materials and easy- to-install prefabricated systems that boast features like mold, mildew and sag resistance. Flynn recommends homeowners start thinking about their ceiling by exploring websites for ideas. A good place to start is www.armstrong.com/residential-ceilings, which offers hundreds of exam- ples, including some really interesting before and after photos.

Tri-City Stargazer JUNE 17 – JUNE 23, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL

For All Signs: We come to the point of the summer solstice at 12:38 p.m. EDT on the 21st. This is the point of the year at which the northern hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun. So this is also theoretically the longest day of the year. For centuries, pagans (country people) celebrated this day with prayers and requests for blessings from Mother Earth, which would soon yield the summer harvests. Take a moment to give honor and thanks to the trees, which are weakening in their battle against our pollution.

fter several years of inac- tivity since its inception A in 2010, FIERCE, an organization founded by students from Mission San Jose High School, was finally resurrected with the “Green Summit” on Sunday, May 24, 2015.

FIERCE aims to bring environmental awareness to the fore- front of community issues by providing a fresh perspective on the subject of climate change, what the City of Fremont is doing to improve its sustainability, and how each individual can make a difference. “We also strive to connect interested individuals to industry professionals,” said club Registration and Publicity Chair Anna Chen, adding that over the past year and present own experiences from working in City of Fremont has been taking awareness and protection through their team hopes to make the their achievements.
