Proposed Housing/Homeless Navigation Center The Best Location is City Hall Parking Lot

On July 3rd, the Fremont city government released a list of 11 potential sites for the Center.

On July 9th, the Fremont City Council voted for a short list of 2 locations for further consideration: City Hall parking lot and Decoto (next to Regan Nursery).

More than 13,000 people believe that City Hall parking lot is the better location for the proposed Center.

If interested, here is the online petition link where anyone can see the number of online signatures: http://chng.it/G99L8C9rMP

The final location decision is expected to be made in one of the City Council’s September meetings.

We urge the Fremont City Council to select the best possible location.

A family of long-time Fremont residents is currently seeking a kidney donor for their 23-year-old niece, Ranjana Sundaram, a recent college graduate who is suffering from end-stage renal disease. Ranjana’s journey started nearly a decade ago when the sudden onset of an autoimmune disease produced devastating effects on her kidneys. Despite pursuing an array of (often painful and debilitating) treatments and trying to stay in her best health, Ranjana watched her kidney function slowly deteriorate. As her options ran out, many family members and friends underwent testing to see if they could donate, all without success. Currently, Ranjana is on the waitlist for a transplant, and her best chance is a living donor. school and Mount Holyoke College on time, both Her family urges anyone who feels called to intense and competitive institutions.

All her childhood birthday celebrations were at the roller rink. Over the years her passion for the sport grew, and the magnetism of the sport pulled her in! Greer started her career in roller derby in Seattle, where she grew up. She gave it her all and made it to the local team. Ten years ago, she moved to Fremont and started training with the Silicon Valley Roller Girls. With her commitment and dedication, Greer made it to Team USA for World Roller Games 2017 in China, where the team earned the Gold Medal in roller derby. She made it to Team USA again for World Roller Games 2019 in Barcelona. There, she struck gold both as part of the women’s team, and as the head coach of the men’s team. Leagues from all over the world now invite her to coach and skate with them. “Getting here hasn’t been easy,” Greer says. The process of getting selected for Team USA itself is grueling, involving tryouts over a period of a year, clearing multiple levels, and finally reaching the coveted top 20. Apart from that, the sport itself requires high levels of physical and mental conditioning. Roller derby is a contact sport played by two teams of five members skating around a track. Game play consists of a series of short matchups (jams) in which both teams designate a jammer (who wears a star on their helmet). The jammer scores points by lapping members of the opposing team.

Spot the Stars of the Summer Triangle

Once you spot the Summer Triangle, you can explore the cosmic treasures found in this busy region of the Milky Way. Make sure to “Take a Trip Around the Triangle” before it sets this fall. Find the full handout at bit.ly/TriangleTrip

This wider view of the area around the Summer Triangle includes another nearby asterism: Great Square of Pegasus.

BY DAVID PROSPER

September skies are a showcase for the Summer Triangle, its three stars gleaming directly overhead after sunset. The equinox on Monday, September 23 ushers in the official change of seasons. Jupiter and Saturn maintain their vigil over the southern horizon but set earlier each evening while the terrestrial planets—Mars, Venus, and Mercury—remain hidden. The bright three points of the Summer Triangle are among the first stars you can see after sunset: Deneb, Vega, and Altair. The Summer Triangle is called an asterism, as it’s not an official constellation but still a striking group of stars. However, the Triangle is the key to spotting multiple constellations. Its three stars are themselves the brightest in their respective constellations: Deneb, in Cygnus the Swan; Vega, in Lyra the Harp; and Altair, in Aquila the Eagle. That alone would be impressive, but the Summer Triangle also contains two small constellations inside its lines, Vulpecula the Fox and Sagitta the Arrow. There is even another small constellation just outside its borders: diminutive Delphinus the Dolphin. The Summer Triangle is huge. The equinox ushers in autumn for folks in the Northern Hemisphere and brings longer nights and shorter days, a change many stargazers appreciate. Right before sunrise on September 23, look for Deneb—the Summer Triangle’s last visible point—flickering right above the western horizon, almost as if saying goodbye to summer. The Summer Triangle region is home to many important astronomical discoveries. Cygnus X-1, the first confirmed black hole, was initially detected here by x-ray equipment on board a sounding rocket launched in 1964. NASA’s Kepler Mission, which revolutionized our understanding of exoplanets, discovered thousands of planet candidates within its initial field of view in Cygnus. The Dumbbell Nebula (M27), the first planetary nebula discovered, was spotted by Charles Messier in the diminutive constellation Vulpecula way back in 1764. Planet watchers can easily find Jupiter and Saturn shining in the south after sunset, with Jupiter to the right and brighter than Saturn. At the beginning of September, Jupiter sets shortly after midnight, with Saturn following a couple of hours later, around 2 a.m. By end of the month, the gas giant duo is setting noticeably earlier—Jupiter sets right before 10:30 p.m., with Saturn following just after midnight. Thankfully for planet watchers, earlier fall sunsets help these giant worlds remain in view for a bit longer. The terrestrial planets remain hidden in the Sun’s glare for the entire month.

Huskies bombed by Jets Football

SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

The Washington Huskies (Fremont) varsity team were outgunned from the beginning in their meeting with the Encinal Jets (Alameda) on August 23rd, losing 42-0. After jumping out to a quick lead, the Jets took control of the game and never looked back. Although the Huskies fought hard to contain the Jets offense, they were unable to stop them and could not put an effective counter offensive of their own.

Boys and girls of all ages representing teams such as Newark Soccer Club, ELITE Soccer and Lil’ Strikers eagerly awaited the chance to roam on a state-of-the-art soccer enclosure made just for them. The six-acre park features two regulation-sized soccer fields, a baseball pitch and more than 35,000 square feet of synthetic turf for recreational use. During the ribbon-cutting and opening ceremony, Newark Mayor Alan Nagy took time to commemorate the man for whom the park is named, Mel Nunes. A former professional baseball player, Nunes became Newark’s first Park and Recreation Director. “The city has worked tirelessly to make this park a place of pride,” said Chastain. “Playing this game has always made me think about what I can do to make myself a better teammate, a better leader, a better person and to lead a better life,” declared Chastain. “When you walk through the gate to this field today, remember that this is for all of you. No matter what gender you are, no matter what language you speak; we all speak soccer.”
