Water district workshop TAKES FROM SILICON VALLEY EAST will explain Fremont Startup Grind Digest: new technology From Blockchain and Ai To Crowdfunding SUBMITTED BY SHARENE GONZALES

Alameda County Water District (ACWD) customers are invited to a workshop to learn about new metering technology being used in the district. Hosted by the ACWD Board of Directors, topics covered will include a review of Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology options, project costs, and next steps. Customers will learn about the benefits of AMI, which will allow ACWD to efficiently provide detailed water consumption data to customers. The AMI project, which will be implemented in three phases over five years, will eventually allow water meters to be read remotely, with hourly water consumption data transmitted directly to the district’s billing systems rather than collecting readings by hand every two months. This new metering system will enable customers to access a user-friendly web portal, providing an improved experience that also allows customers to monitor and analyze their own water consumption. “I am a great supporter of adopting technology particularly when it increases customers’ options for understanding and making choices about their water use,” said ACWD Board President Paul Sethy. “Convenient access to data is one of BY GAYTRI KHANDELWAL, STARTUP GRIND several benefits offered by AMI, including conservation, FREMONT CHAPTER DIRECTOR efficiency and improved customer engagement,” he added.

Athletes of the Month

Washington High School (Fremont) is the home of the Huskies and November 2018 Tri-City Voice Athlete of the Month selections. These athletes are under the supervision of Principal Bob Moran, Athletic Director Coulter Rigdon, Coach Elias Mendez (Boys’ Water Polo) and Coaches Barbara and John Kozak (Girls’ Volleyball).

Matthew Mendez

Matthew Mendez was born in Hayward, California. Currently a senior at Washington High School, the 17-year-old started playing water polo in the second grade. Sports, especially water polo, has been a big part of his life for the last 10 years. Some of Matthew’s accomplishments during those years include attending the Junior Olympics seven times and selection for Mission Valley Athletic League first team and North Coast Section honorable mention in 2017. Matthew says he likes sports because it’s an opportunity to spend time away the pressures of everyday life, just have fun and improve at a sport you love and enjoy. He says, “I don't really have a way to prepare for a game. I treat each game in the same way; I just get in that focused mindset.” In his free time, Matthew plays video games with friends and enjoys trying new restaurants. Family is important to Matthew. His mom’s name is Lisa. He has an older sister named Candace who was a competitive swimmer and played water polo. Older brother Elias played water polo as well. Daniel, Matthew’s oldest brother, played soccer. Matthew has competed in sports under the watchful eyes of many coaches throughout his career. Although they coached water polo differently, all have added to his prowess in the sport and each one has had a role in defining who he is as a respected water polo competitor. Matthew is planning to attend Ohlone College in Fremont and then transfer to a 4-year college or university. He intends to major in Business Administration.

Sarah-Grace Wu

Senior Sarah-Grace Wu has been selected as Washington High School’s female Athlete of the Month. Wu, age 17, was born in Huanggang, China and adopted by Doris and James Wu. Raised in California from age 17 months, she is practically a native to the area. Sarah-Grace has an older sister, Samantha who, along with her parents, are role models. Interest in sports began early for Sarah-Grace. She played CYO basketball in the second grade and in middle school, expanded her interests to include volleyball, basketball and softball. Now, concentrating on volleyball in high school, Sarah-Grace serves as Libero (defensive specialist) for the Huskies. She has been honored as Most Valuable Player during her Freshman year, received the Coaches Award in her Sophomore year and, as a Junior, the Most Inspirational Award. Preparing for games, Sarah-Grace practices every day, beginning with a warm-up drill routine. She doesn’t follow a strict dietary regimen and enjoys eating “anything and everything.” She enjoys hanging out with friends and considers the team environment of sports as an extension of herself and family. The support of her coaches and teammates is a great positive influence in her life.
