Firehouse Arts Center parking lot has plenty of empty parking spaces at 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday, even as shoppers and diners cruised downtown streets in search of a place to park.

More parking downtown?

Think $12 million

E

ver try to park downtown for lunch and can’t find a space?

Try thinking that you’re parking in Stoneridge Mall or at the San Francisco Outlets where it’s just a block-long walk to the stores and restaurants and you’ll find plenty of open spaces near downtown Pleasanton, too.

Even the now-paved “railroad corridor� near the Meadowlark Dairy usually has a few noon-time spots.

At lunchtime and during crowded dinner hours, the Firehouse Arts Center parking lot is seldom filled except during theater events.

The problem, says Laura Olson, executive director of the Pleasanton Downtown Association, is that many motorists don’t know about these lots. Even the railroad corridor, halfway between Main and First streets, which until last year was a dirt roadway, is now half paved but often empty. Another parking strip behind the PDA’s offices on First Street is marked oneway, requiring motorists to circle the block to find the entrance.

Now the city has prepared a parking study with short- and long-term suggestions on better managing downtown parking. It includes ways to possibly expand the parking supply and ways to help motorists heading this way feel more comfortable about shopping and dining downtown.

Although the study found that there are 3,320 parking spaces downtown, many are on private property.

City representatives will start meeting with owners to see if more of those lots could be marked as open to the public during non-business hours.

Based on GPS data used to compile travel behavior to the downtown, planners also want to use directional and even digital signs to show motorists where available parking is located. Those could help the 85% of total trips to downtown Pleasanton that originate here or in

Dublin, Livermore and San Ramon.

On weekdays, the highest proportion of trips downtown (32%) come from businesses in Hacienda and northeast Pleasanton. On weekends, shoppers and diners coming from Dublin and San Ramon represent the greatest proportion. An estimated 39% of trips are between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.; 33% between 3 and 7 p.m.

To make more parking available for those heading downtown, the city recently marked parking spots on First Street and on the newly paved sections of the railroad corridor. City staff also plans to create an Information Center to consolidate information for businesses and the public regarding alternative transportation methods, such as Wheels buses and shuttles.

Bike corrals will be added downtown, possibly by removing the concrete newspaper racks on Main Street sidewalks. A traffic enforcement officer has been assigned to ticket cars left parked downtown for more than three hours, issuing more than 130 citations since the program began in March. A proposal to install parking meters on Main Street met with stiff resistance from council members.

Parking garages are other options being considered to handle an expected growth in retail and restaurant businesses downtown. A two-story garage at the Workbench True Value site could accommodate 135 parking spaces, 50 more than are now available on the surface lot.

Up to 465 spaces could be constructed with a multi-story garage in the Bank of America-owned lot at Angela and Peters. At least 200 spaces could be added with a parking garage in the new Inklings Coffee and Tea lot between Main Street and Railroad Avenue. The estimated costs of building these garages ranges from $3.8 million to 12.6 million.

On second thought, the Firehouse parking lot doesn’t seem all that far away. Q

School board approves $270 million bond measure for ballot Facilities bond needs support from 55% of voters to pass in November

T

BY JULIA REIS

he Pleasanton school board unanimously approved a resolution Saturday placing a $270 million general obligation bond on the ballot for the November election.

The decision during a special weekend board meeting followed years of conversation and research about a potential bond measure to fund needed improvements at district schools. In January 2013, the district completed a facility master plan that identified capital projects districtwide estimated to cost $500 million.

If approved by 55% of voters come Nov. 8, the bond would generate approximately $270 million for projects by imposing a tax of $49 per $100,000 of assessed value for

Pleasanton property owners.

“The school district needs these improvements not just for the kids in school today, but for future generations,” Board of Trustees member Chris Grant said after the vote Saturday. “Hopefully I can thank you in advance for your support.”

The two-hour meeting, which was attended by roughly a dozen people, was scheduled so school district administration could file the bond resolution with the Alameda County Registrar of Voters’ Office before Aug. 12.

Among those who had comments about the bond proposal and affiliated project list Saturday was former Pleasanton City Council member Kay Ayala, who expressed concern that

the meeting calling for an election was happening over the summer.

“We shouldn’t be doing this on July 30 when all the citizens are on their last vacation,” Ayala said. “This is a Band-Aid fix. Slow down and get the entire community around you.”

Speaking after Ayala’s comment, board vice president Mark Miller emphasized the need to address outstanding facilities issues and expressed his satisfaction with the project list.

“Adding a school, modernizing the labs, becoming more energyefficient — I’m very confident we have a very good list,” Miller said.

“The idea of waiting to come up with something better is great, but stuff still needs to get done —

we’ve delayed this forever.”

The district intends to spend the tax monies it would receive on projects that fall into four categories: modernizations and new infrastructure at a cost of $139 million, creating 21st-century learning environments including new science and technology facilities for $97.8 million, safety and security with a roughly $29 million allocation, and energy and water improvements that would cost $10 million.

Among the marquee items that would be funded are a new elementary school, new classrooms at Lydiksen Elementary School and upgraded fire alarm and security systems.

Pleasanton police officers, along with city, civic and community leaders, join residents of Pleasanton Gardens senior living facility at National Night Out celebration Tuesday evening.

Pleasanton celebrates National Night Out Residents, first responders take part in annual event Police officers, firefighters, city officials and residents came together for block parties around Pleasanton on Tuesday night in honor of National Night Out. The event is in its 33rd year nationally, with the Pleasanton Police Department participating for 15 years. It began locally with four neighborhood block parties and has grown to encompass 35 such parties throughout Pleasanton.

National Night Out is designed to strengthen partnerships between police departments and community members as well as heighten crime- and drug-awareness.

Larry Cox, an investigating

sergeant with Pleasanton police, was one of several officers at a National Night Out party in the Stoneridge Park neighborhood.

Cox estimates he’s only missed two of the city’s National Night Out events in the last 15 years.

“What I find to be the best part is the human side of things,” Cox said. “You get to play ball with the kids and let them see some of our equipment so they’re seeing we’re just people like they are.”

He added that the evening gives officers an opportunity to interact with community members in a way they typically aren’t able to.

“A lot of times when we’re

working we’re not always able to stop and talk — we’ve got the next call pending and we don’t get to have real interactions,” Cox said. “It’s important to have this once a year where we can just break bread and have fun.”

The evening kicked off with a barbeque dinner for officers and residents at the Pleasanton Gardens Community Center. Then officers dispersed among the many block parties happening throughout the city.

At the Stoneridge Park event, officers mingled alongside neighSee NIGHT OUT on Page 8

Orchard Supply Hardware will open a 40,000-square-foot store in the Metro 580 shopping center at 4555 Rosewood Drive in Pleasanton later this year.

Located along the Interstate 580 corridor at Hacienda Drive, Metro 580 boasts a selection of national retailers including Kohl’s, Walmart and Party City as well as smaller retailers and restaurants.

Orchard, once owned by Sears and now owned by home improvement retailer Lowe’s, has stores in Dublin, Livermore and San Ramon, making this its fourth Tri-Valley store. The retail company, headquartered in San Jose, has more than 70 stores located throughout California and Oregon.

The hardware supply store will move into the former Sport Chalet building, turning the scuba diving pool into a 5,620-square-foot garden nursery.

Its stores feature a modern service area called the Workbench, which gives customers access to trained professionals offering tool and knife sharpening, re-screening, lock re-keying, pipe threading, and conduit, chain, cable, pipe or rope cutting.

Jenny Soo, associate planner for the city of Pleasanton, said Orchard plans to have its new store open well before the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Q

Council calls special meeting on Tennis Park expansion Mayor halts start of construction as neighbors object to planned removal of grass, trees

BY JEB BING

The Pleasanton City Council has called a special meeting for Tuesday to look again at plans to build two additional lighted tennis courts at the Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park.

The meeting was called after a group of residents from nearby homes protested to the removal of grass and four trees next to the park’s 10 tennis courts at Valley Avenue and Hopyard Road to accommodate the two new courts.

The 2014 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified the need for two additional lighted tennis courts at the tennis park. The council will re-consider whether to move forward with an already approved project or pursue alternatives.

Mayor Jerry Thorne ordered a halt to construction of the new courts because of the protests last week.

Protesters said they had no advanced warning of the project, which is part of a master plan approved by the City Council in 1985.

Two years ago, the Parks and Recreation Commission identified the need for two additional lighted tennis courts and, subsequently, a capital improvement allocation was created to build them.

Due to a number of factors, the project was put on hold until this year, with the City Council approving a construction contract March 4.

Callander Associates Landscape Architecture designed the two new tennis courts to be located in a large turf area that was identified as a loca-

tion for the courts in the master plan.

The courts would be consistent in design with the existing courts with the same type of fencing, screening, equipment, access and north/south orientation. The difference is that the courts will include droughttolerant landscaping and irrigation around them.

Lighting for the new courts also will be cost- and energy-saving LED, with plans to upgrade all court lighting to LED at a later date.

The project that was scheduled to start July 25 would have taken 70 working days to complete with the two new courts scheduled to open in October.

The Tuesday meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in council chambers, located at 200 Old Bernal Ave. Q

Tapping into a yellow hydrant without a meter in between the hose and hydrant as shown could contaminate the public drinking water. Water agencies recommend residents report this activity if they see it.

DSRSD warns of illegal hydrant connections Issue hasn’t happened in Pleasanton recently, but city on the lookout

BY JULIA REIS

The Dublin San Ramon Services District is asking residents to report a recurring problem that could jeopardize the drinking water supply.

Tapping a yellow fire hydrant without a meter in between the hose and hydrant can contaminate public water. While many businesses properly tap into the agency’s hydrants, such as contractors using recycled water for a construction project, people have been observed connecting a garden hose directly to a hydrant to fill a water truck illegally.

“The risk of backflow into the public water supply is very real,” DSRSD spokeswoman Renee Olsen said. “The meters we issue have a backflow prevention device built in and that prevents the problem.

But if someone figures out how to couple a garden hose to a hydrant, water can wash into the hose and back into the hydrant and get into the water supply.”

Olsen added the risk is caused by pressure differences that will cause

water to go between the hydrant and hose, which can contain dirt and bacteria.

DSRSD provides water service to Dublin and parts of San Ramon and wastewater treatment to Pleasanton by contract. The city of Pleasanton manages its own potable water hydrants.

Leonard Olive, the city of Pleasanton’s assistant director of operations services, said he wasn’t aware of any recent instances of hydrants being tapped in this manner, but if it did happen, the city would immediately investigate the matter with the help of the police.

“We look down on any activity that could jeopardize the health and safety of our citizens, but we’re not getting that kind of behavior out of our customers,” Olive said.

DSRSD manages more than 3,200 yellow hydrants for fire protection in Dublin, the Dougherty Valley area of San Ramon and on a stretch of Camino Tassajara in unincorporated Contra Costa County.

Page 6 • August 5, 2016 • Pleasanton Weekly

Between 2014 and 2015, there were eight verified incidents where an illegal hydrant connection occurred with a district hydrant, according to Olsen. There have been several more during that time frame and this year that DSRSD hasn’t been able to verify.

“It’s not happening all the time, but often enough that we want to get the word out and get it stopped,” she said.

Individuals who connect to potable water hydrants illegally can incur fines of $1,000 or more for a first offense.

Officials recommend that residents who see illegal hookups occurring call the water agency and the local police department’s nonemergency line.

For Pleasanton, the number is 9315100. Residents should tell the dispatcher they are witnessing a water theft in progress and ask if they can send an officer to investigate immediately, but callers should not confront the person using the hydrant. Q

Glazer completes pushup challenge for veteran suicide awareness

BY JEREMY WALSH

Pleasanton’s State Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) recently wrapped up an exercise challenge in which he did 22 pushups per day to raise awareness about the suicide rate among military veterans and to emphasize the importance of supporting veterans’ continued mental and physical health.

The first-term state senator completed the pushups daily over 22 days in the State Capitol and various locations across his district, with the total symbolizing the statistic that 22 American veterans, on average, die by suicide every day.

“It was a challenge physically, but it also gave me the chance to visit with veterans and veteran service organization leaders to learn about the challenges facing our service men and women,” Glazer said in an email interview.

“During the 22 days, I visited memorial halls, VFW halls, grave sites and everything in between, and in every one of those places, I met amazing veterans,” he added.

The campaign kicked off in late June, when Glazer and 10 col-

leagues did 22 pushups on the State Senate floor.

During the challenge, other elected officials joined Glazer for pushups, including Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley (Day 2), Contra Costa County DA Mark Peterson (Day 16), Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern (Day 15) and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon (Day 8).

Glazer completed the pushup challenge last month at Las Positas College in Livermore during its “Operation Gateway 8” event, which provided new veterans with information and resources such as academic planning, college registration, readjustment services, college resources and post 9/11 G.I. benefits.

At the end of the campaign, he encouraged others to take the challenge and find other ways to support American military veterans.

“If you have a business, hire a veteran. If you volunteer your time, look to help veterans. And if you’re like me and want to raise awareness of veteran suicide, then take the 22day challenge. We owe our veterans so much,” Glazer said. Q

City sets meeting to explain water meters $7 million Pleasanton project to provide online monitoring of water use

BY JEB BING

A community meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Veterans Memorial Building to explain and demonstrate the new automated water meters that will replace existing meters in Pleasanton homes and businesses starting this month.

The new meters will give consumers the ability to access current and historic water consumption data from any smart device or computer. The data will be more accurate, reduce operating costs and improve customer service, city officials said.

The system is comprised of new meters fitted with meter transmission units, which collect water data every hour, and 16 data-collector units, which transmit this data to a cloud-based computer system.

A new customer web portal will enable water users to access their real-time and historic consumption data from any smart device or computer and enable them to set notifications for abnormal usage alerts that could predict potential leaks in a user’s system.

The project total for the automated metering infrastructure (AMI) procurement and installation of up to 22,000 new water meters is just over $7 million and has been paid for through the city’s Capital Improvement Program and the Water Enterprise Fund.

The Veterans Memorial Building is located at 301 Main St. in downtown Pleasanton.

Additional information on the project can be found on the city’s website at www.cityofpleasantonca. gov under Hot Topics. Q

As part of this process, the school district and board considered an independent bond feasibility survey and looked at three bond program scenarios with tax rates ranging from $45 to $60 per $100,000 of assessed property value.

Once the $49 rate was settled on, several projects that had been included on a preliminary list were eliminated. New playground equipment, an upgraded wireless network and new synthetic tracks and fields at Pleasanton high schools were among the items cut.

Stratford appoints new elementary school principal Private Pleasanton campus welcomes Maureen Christensen

BY JULIA REIS

Stratford School’s Pleasanton campus has hired a Tri-Valley resident with more than 13 years of experience in education as its new elementary school principal.

Maureen Christensen’s first day was July 8. She replaces Kim Cullen, who will stay on at Stratford as a senior operations analyst helping with project management.

Christensen is the second new administrative hire for the private school in recent months, as the school brought on Amina Saiyed as its preschool principal in the spring.

Before coming to Stratford School, Christensen was working for the Diocese of Oakland and had spent the last three years as a school principal.

A Danville resident with two daughters away for college, she said this was the ideal time to pursue a new exciting opportunity.

“I was excited to join the Stratford family,” Christensen said. “I fully support their mission to inspire students to achieve an excellent academic education.”

Christensen earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology with a minor in business and human resources from San Jose State University. She received her multiple subject teaching credential from California State University, Fresno and is working to complete her master’s degree in educational leadership along with an administrative credential in October from National University.

Christensen started off in human resources, then stepped away for 13 years to raise her children. When she went back to work, she knew she wanted try out a new profession in education.

“It was the perfect opportunity at that point,” Christensen said. “I had always been passionate about education and always committed to my own personal development, so it took off like wildfire.”

Sandy Holliday, a Pleasanton resident of 20 years, was one of several block captains for the neighborhood’s first ever National Night Out party.

A recently retired lieutenant from the Milpitas Police Department, she said she was happy to see the higher than anticipated turnout. She expected approximately 80 people, but when signage for the event went up in recent days so did RSVPs. She counted roughly 155 people at Tuesday’s event.

tor “ignited the spark, and that’s all she wrote,” Christensen added.

More than a decade later, that initial spark has now led Christensen to a school job in her own backyard.

In a statement, Stratford chief operating officer Barbara Timm-Brock said Christensen’s background in human resources is a big asset in a school leader and that the school was happy to have her.

“Maureen is a visionary school leader who is passionate about education and has a genuine ability to inspire children to reach their full potential,” Timm-Brock said.

Christensen said she is looking forward to having a 15-minute commute this school year and is excited about continuing to provide curriculum with an emphasis in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

“I want to build partnerships with the families,” she said. “We know when a community all works together to support learning students tend to be more successful. I want to encourage open lines of communication.”

“There are a lot of neighbors that never even knew their next-door neighbor, and now they’re sitting there having dinner,” she said.

She added that National Night Out presents the opportunity to increase crime awareness. In March, Stoneridge Park residents got together and formed a neighborhood watch group in response to recent residential burglaries. There have been none since, she said.

“We want to instill in them to call 911 if it’s an emergency because the police need to know while it’s happening,” Holliday said. “I hope they are getting to know their neighbors and are getting comfortable with reporting suspicious activity.”

Neighboring communities including Danville, San Ramon and Dublin also took part in National Night Out. Q —Julia Reis

more. He is just one of tens of thousands of missing persons in the United States.

Authorities release digital image of cold case homicide victim Alameda County sheriff’s investigators are hoping the public can help them solve a 1997 homicide with the help of an image of the victim created with recent technology.

Only a torso of a man was found on May 27, 1997, near Burns and Christensen roads in unincorporated Livermore. Deputies have tried for years to identify the man through traditional means such as matching a DNA sample of the man with DNA on file, but have been unsuccessful.

For the first time, sheriff’s officials are using recent technology to provide the public with an image of the person that might jog someone’s memory. The technology is called phenotyping, which predicts a person’s appearance and ancestry based on DNA that does not match any on file.

“We’re hoping this will help,” Alameda County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said last week.

Killers have in the past cut up their victims to prevent them from being identified through fingerprints and facial recognition, the main ways deputies identified victims in the late 1990s, Kelly said.

Phenotyping creates an image of the victim based on continental origin, hair color, eye color and facial structure.

The image released by the sheriff’s office suggests that the victim descends from a northern or western European family, has either few or no freckles, reddish brown or black hair, hazel or brown eyes and fair skin.

He is believed to be between 26 and 32 years old and about 5 feet 7 inches tall.

The image is unlikely to be a replica of the man because, for example, it is not adjusted for factors such as smoking, drinking, diet, hairstyle and scars.

Investigators hope this image will lead to the first clue in the investigation. The first step in solving a murder is knowledge of the victim’s identity, Kelly said. Investigators have tried to match the phenotype image with missing persons, but so far without success, he added.

The man could have come from anywhere in the country and been dumped in unincorporated Liver-

• A Stoneridge Shopping Center patron was recently cited for locking two dogs in her car on a hot afternoon.

The Pleasanton Police Department received a call about the dogs around 1:30 in the afternoon on July 26. An animal control officer responded to the Sears parking garage and reported finding two small terriers constantly and heavily panting in a vehicle that had all four windows cracked approximately three inches.

At the time, the officer took the temperature outside and inside the car. It was 100 degrees and sunny outside, and the temperature was between 96 and 98 degrees within the car, according to police. Pleasanton municipal code prohibits pet owners from confining an animal under conditions that endanger their health.

The officer was able to get one of the collars from the dogs through the window and called the number listed on the tag. Shortly thereafter, a woman came out of the mall and identified herself as the vehicle owner, police said.

The animal control officer asked the owner to turn on the car and run the air conditioning to cool the dogs off, then issued her a citation.

The owner’s name was not released.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, rolling down windows has little effect on the temperature inside a car. When

it’s 80 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can rise to 99 degrees within 10 minutes.

The organization recommends that if someone sees a pet left in a hot car, they should call the nonemergency number of the local police department or animal control and wait by the car for them to arrive if the owner cannot be found.

• Two people were arrested outside a Pleasanton Walmart store after police allege they were found in possession of several identification and credit cards belonging to other people.

Nina Lopez, 28, of Stockton and Stephen Bun, 35, whose residence was unknown, were arrested and booked into Santa Rita Jail on Friday.

Lopez is being charged with felony identity theft for possessing the ID and credit cards, while Bun is facing a misdemeanor charge of false impersonation for having slips of paper with peoples’ names and birthdays written on them.

A Pleasanton police officer was doing a patrol check of the Walmart parking lot on Rosewood Drive when they spotted a car with a false registration sticker taped to the rear plate. The officer saw Lopez and Bun approaching the car and asked them for identification to verify the car’s owner, but neither of them had any identification, police said.

While trying to determine their identities, the officer found that Bun had an outstanding warrant, according to police. The officer placed Bun in handcuffs and checked his pockets and allegedly found the slips of paper with names and birth dates. Upon searching Lopez, the officer allegedly found several identification and credit cards that she did not have permission to use or obtain.

Officers later contacted some of the cardholders, who confirmed that fraudulent charges had been made on their credit cards, police said. Q —Julia Reis and Bay City News Service

Carl Allen Holder Jr. May 7, 1934 – July 30, 2016 A memorial service celebrating the life of Carl Allen Holder Jr., a man of deep faith who loved working with his hands and getting things done, will be held Saturday, August 13, at 2 p.m. in Ohlone Hall at Stoneridge Creek Retirement Community, 3300 Stoneridge Creek Drive, Pleasanton. He was 82.

Carl lived out his Christian faith by serving others in a variety of volunteer roles as well as mentoring young people throughout his life. He did it all with a big smile that blessed all he encountered.

He also liked building projects such as homes for Habitat for Humanity and projects around his church, Graceway of Pleasanton.

Carl was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He attended Capital Hill High School and Oklahoma State University where he was in the Sigma Chi Fraternity and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree.

He married Jacquelyn Caudle in 1958 and they have three daughters. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jacque, and their three daughters: Karen Ann (Brooke Burton) of Highland Ranch, Colorado (children Kelby, Marley and Thatcher); Carla Kay (Jeff Land) of Diablo, California (children Jennifer and Jessica) and Kelly Sue (David Elkins) of Portland, Oregon (children Emily and Paige).

While attending Oklahoma State, Carl participated in the Air Force ROTC program. Upon graduation Carl was commissioned as a captain in the United States Air Force where he piloted fighters.

He then joined Pan American World Airways as a flight engineer and the family moved to Pleasanton. After his daughters were grown, he transferred to Berlin and captained Pan Am planes five years from there and saw the Berlin Wall come down.

The family also enjoyed the Fourth of July for many years at the vacation cabin that he and Jacque built in Arnold. It was also a favorite getaway site for church youth groups.

He and Jacque were leaders of the “Challenge” high school group of Pleasanton Presbyterian church (now Graceway).

THE OPINION OF THE WEEKLY

New plans for greater downtown underway I

t’s good to see an abundance of city, civic and community leaders scrambling to serve on a task force now being created to provide a long-overdue update to the city’s downtown specific plan.

Those who were involved in preparing the last update in 2002 will remember the long, laborious, sometimes late-night meetings in a Senior Center conference room. A few task force members didn’t always show; others left early.

It was through the good-natured guidance of Wayne Rasmussen, a city planner at the time, that the effort stayed on track.

GUEST OPINION

BY MAYOR JERRY THORNE

What is AMI and why do we need it in Pleasanton?

Automated metering infrastructure (AMI) is the latest technology in the evolution of water-metering infrastructure. It will enable us to better manage our water, which we in Pleasanton and throughout the entire state have come to recognize as a precious resource.

As part of the city’s Capital Improvement Program, the AMI project will give water customers better control by improving our monitoring sys- Jerry Thorne tem, increasing its accuracy and ensuring better water resource management overall.

A few years ago, the City Council established the AMI project as a priority, and staff has been pilottesting the different technologies to determine the best fit for Pleasanton. We recognized that our aging water meters were in need of replacement as most meters become inefficient over time and no longer keep accurate track of water use.

The effect of this diminished accuracy in recording water use has created an unsustainable situation and is estimated to cost taxpayers and the city of Pleasanton upward of $750,000 annually in lost water and revenue.

The Aclara metering system has been selected to upgrade nearly 22,000 residential and commercial water meters throughout Pleasanton beginning this month. The system will take approximately one year to fully install. It will consist of new meters with transmission units and data collector units, which will aggregate the information, and customers will be able to access their own data from any smart device or computer through a new customer web portal.

One of the most exciting features of this project is the ability consumers will have to track individual usage. We will also be able to establish our own water budget

or threshold amount (in gallons or dollars) and receive notifications if we are about to exceed that amount or whether abnormal usage occurs, which can be predictive of a leak.

These improvements in monitoring our water consumption will give us the ability to better manage our water use and needs going forward.

Our previously demonstrated success at conserving water when it was needed most indicates a collective interest in doing what’s right, even when it isn’t easy. With the water management tools that come with AMI, individual conservation efforts can become even more effective.

As mentioned, this will be done in phases and will impact all water customers in Pleasanton. And just as pilot-testing was done in advance of deciding which system to purchase, a systems acceptance test is currently being conducted prior to full-scale implementation of the project, and I among others have volunteered to test this phase of the project. Once we get through with this final performance test, all residents and businesses will be notified in advance of installation beginning in their neighborhoods.

City staff will be holding a second AMI community outreach meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday to answer any questions. The meeting will be held at the Veterans Memorial Building, 301 Main St. There are other ways to get informed. Sign on to the “Automated Metering Infrastructure” page on the city’s website at www. cityofpleasantonca.gov, follow us on Twitter @pleasantonca and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ CityofPleasanton or call the operations services customer service line at 931-5500. Q Editor’s note: Jerry Thorne is completing his second two-year term as mayor of Pleasanton after serving seven years on the City Council. A retired corporate executive with more than 40 years in the private sector, he also served for 10 years on the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission.

Page 10 • August 5, 2016 • Pleasanton Weekly

The pies he brought to the meeting also helped, encouraging everyone to come early for a tasty bite that got the meetings started on time.

Gerry Beaudin, the city’s new director of community development, and several members of his team, also new in the last year or two, will conduct the 2017 specific plan task force whose 13-16 members also will likely be newcomers to the process.

That’s good because much has changed in the central business district since 2002, including new shops, offices and restaurants, new buildings and many new residential units. In fact, it’s the increased number of apartment and condo units that have some on the City Council and the Pleasanton Downtown Association concerned.

“We want to make sure that we maintain the vitality of our downtown and not overburden it with residential buildings,” Mayor Jerry Thorne said as the council voted to launch the specific plan task force. Vice Mayor Kathy Narum, who was also named to the panel, added, “We all agree that the downtown is the fabric of our community.”

The downtown as we know it today will be expanded. The city hall, civic center and public library will likely be moved to new buildings on a new site in the Bernal Community Park, along the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks between Bernal and Valley avenues. That current site, along with 3 acres owned by the city of San Francisco across Old Bernal from the library, will be part of the new Specific Plan. The Pleasanton school district also wants to include its properties at Bernal and First Street into the downtown area.

Task force meetings are likely to start this fall, with a final recommendation to the City Council in 2017. Q

LETTERS Tennis Park uproar could have been avoided Dear Editor, It is unfortunate Jeb Bing’s article last week, “City halts Pleasanton Tennis Park expansion after protests,” misrepresented the response of the community to the new tennis courts being planned for the tennis park.

This park has many spaces that serve the community — tennis, basketball, volleyball and areas for family activities. All of these are important.

The community members are protesting the location of the new courts as the construction will destroy a grassy area next to the picnic tables and children’s play area. This area has been used extensively by families for many years and is highly valued.

If Mr. Bing had interviewed any of the representatives that met with Mayor Thorne, he would have understood the real issue. Nobody I have spoken with is against the courts. They want a valuable community area for family activities retained and the courts to be built in other areas of the tennis park — especially since there are other spaces available where the additional courts could be accommodated. This would be a win-win for everyone.

Regarding public input, I understand that a staff member at the meeting with Mayor Thorne asked the community members how the city could have received their

input before the project started.

Several ideas were shared.

In addition to surveys and meetings, it would have been helpful to have had community fliers to all homes in the area, notices in the Pleasanton Weekly and East Bay Times, and finally, a simple sign at the edge of the grassy area — “Future site of” — which would have directly connected with all the families using the area.

Then possibly, all of this could have been avoided.

—Craig Kelso

Student loan forgiveness Dear Editor, I was reading the article “Swalwell targets student debt” (July 22, 2016). I am one of the students that has been struggling with paying the loan back from 1994.

The school that I went to was a Computer Learning school, and it went bankrupt before I could even get a job. So, many years later, I decided to go back school in the medical field.

I am and have been struggling with my loan, and it has held me back from qualifying for a home.

My wages have been interrupted in my paycheck for a few years now. I have three children that all are or have been in Pleasanton schools. I would greatly benefit from a forgiving school loan.

Kate Steinle, an Amador Valley High alumna, died on July 1, 2015, after she was shot while walking along Pier 14 in downtown San Francisco.

or days, Brad Steinle spent his time sanding the black paint off his sister’s childhood dresser to its raw wood, the smell of sawdust thick in the July heat.

Just weeks after his 32-year-old sister Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was killed on San Francisco’s crowded Pier 14 last year, there was something cathartic about stripping away the inky hue.

With his wife nearing her due date, he painted the dresser a fresh coat of white and added colorful elephant and lion knobs in his parents’ Pleasanton garage. At one point he stopped, realizing he could buy a similar piece at IKEA. But this one was more important.

“This is Kate’s,” he told himself.

Brad went back to work. There was a little girl on the way who would need that dresser.

On July 1, 2015, Kate Steinle was visiting Pier 14, a popular San Francisco tourist destination, just as Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez allegedly found a gun wrapped in a T-shirt. The gun fired, and the bullet hit the ground before striking Kate in the back.

Her father attempted CPR after hearing her last words — “Help me, Dad” — but she died later that day.

Kate was headed to a baby shower that evening, where she would have found out a niece was on the way.

But as July gave way to August last year, and the East Bay began to feel the relief of fall, the cameras and condolences peeled away — leaving the Steinles to process Kate’s absence.

“When you lose a child, it’s a different deal,” said Jim Steinle, Kate’s father.

“It’s so debilitating. It just locks you up. You’ll be sitting there, fine and dandy, and suddenly you can’t move, you can’t think, you can’t breathe,” added Jim, who now lives with Kate’s mother, Liz Sullivan, in Livermore after selling their Pleasanton home to their son Brad about a year ago.

Kate Steinle’s death dominated national headlines for several days in early July 2015.

The circumstances consumed her family’s lives as they chased relentless and confounding updates: An apparently random act of violence, an undocumented culprit who had recently been released from law enforcement custody, a gun stolen from a U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger by an unknown person, complex city immigration protections and the quick filing of a congressional bill emblazoned with Kate’s name.

The Steinles were left to contend with the maelstrom of a violent and public death, coupled with political ramifications.

After Lopez-Sanchez’s arrest, authorities said he had been deported to Mexico five times and was in San Francisco Sheriff’s Office custody weeks earlier — but was released when his drug-related charges were dismissed. Immigration officials weren’t notified because San Francisco adheres to a “sanctuary See STEINLE on Page 12

Shortly after the Pier 14 shooting, conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly pushed his support for a congressional bill to change sanctuary city laws, coining it “Kate’s Law.” That bill, filed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and a similar piece of legislation failed to pass in the Senate this summer. Kate’s Law would have established a mandatory fiveyear minimum prison term — up from two years — for undocumented immigrants who re-enter the U.S. after deportation.

“We’re disappointed in the ruling but confident it will pass eventually,” Jim said, noting he received a call from Cruz after the vote.

The second-degree murder case against Lopez-Sanchez continues, with twists every so often. Ballistics experts have testified the bullet hit the ground first, ricocheted and then struck Kate, which defense counsel argues is an indication the shooting was an accident.

The prosecution contends Lopez-Sanchez intended to kill her.

The Steinle family also filed a wrongful death lawsuit in May naming the City of San Francisco, former Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as defendants.

The lawsuit claims officials failed to perform their duties, which allowed the fatal shooting to happen.

The Steinle family declined to comment on the ongoing civil case.

But the proposed legislation and the legal recourse do not bring any comfort, the Steinles said.

At the end of the day, they turn to their few sources of relief: faith, volunteerism and memories.

they were up against when she took over teaching her preschool dance class one day, her mother Liz said.

When Brad — now a 34-year-old small business owner — and Kate once built a wooden playhouse, Kate clonked her older brother in the head with a 2-by-4 by accident.

“This whole tape is her saying, ‘Sowwy, Bradley,’” her mom said.

“For like 15 minutes,” Brad said.

“She didn’t stop building, though,” Liz said.

As Kate grew, she pulled her friends into her family’s circle. As a high school student at Amador Valley High, she floated from group to group and had as many friends from crosstown rival Foothill High as from her own school.

By junior year, Kate struggled with the structured, pre-planned world of

high school. She was ready to make her own decisions, but it wasn’t until she enrolled in Las Positas College after graduation that she was able to foster that need, Jim said.

When his daughter began to bloom into an adult as a college student, Jim said he was so proud. He said he knew Kate’s gumption and kindness would equip her to achieve anything.

After studying business communications at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, her first job was as a title representative in San Francisco, working as a liaison with real estate offices. She and Brad got neighboring apartments in the city, played on the same softball team and had the same group of friends.

They were like twins separated by a year, the family joked — and were rarely ever separated.

When the Great Recession hit

Kate’s life Memories don’t heal the Steinles’ pain. Remembering an absence — repetitively, purposefully — aches.

Forgetting would be worse.

Kate Steinle became part of the Pleasanton community when she was a toddler. She was a strong-willed girl, and her parents realized what

COVER STORY

and the housing market crashed, Kate used the money she had saved to vacation in Africa. While on a layover in Dubai, a brief meeting secured a job offer as a liaison between oil companies and Middle Eastern government officials.

Hearing that his 20-something daughter was going to be working in a foreign country wasn’t exactly the news Jim was hoping to hear when he got an update from Kate. But he said he knew if anyone had the strength and stamina to do that job, it was her.

Over the years, she saved up, traveled and relished making friends as she journeyed, but she always gravitated back toward the Bay Area. After two years of working for a medical supply wholesaler in San Francisco, she secured a job at Medtronic Inc. in San Francisco’s downtown.

Her job was to be on the sidelines during surgeries that used Medtronic’s specialized equipment to answer any questions the doctors had and to demonstrate how to best use the machine, her mom said.

“She’d call the doctor a day or two after to see how the patient was doing,” Liz recalled.

The medical field was no place for a timid salesperson, especially in a male-dominated field. Kate faced her share of pushback from doctors and co-workers alike during her various jobs, her dad said.

Once, a doctor who she was trying to meet with to secure a contract told her that it would take a magical spell and fairy dust for him to change his mind.

“She wrote back to him a few days later and said, ‘I’m learning to perform an incantation, and I’m sure in San Francisco it won’t be too hard to find some fairy dust, so I’m really looking forward to meeting you,’” Liz said.

Kate had a serious boyfriend, and her family all but expected them to settle down soon in Pleasanton and start having children.

Brad’s wife, Amy Warehouse, said the couple had started looking at homes in Oakland and Berkeley.

Kate’s mom said she’s spoken with other parents who have lost children. They’ve been initiated into a community that no one wants to be a part of but that they now need to survive.

They mentor her and her husband about the waves of grief they’ve endured and the ones to come.

As Liz remembers the joy of being

close with her daughter, she hopes others will follow a simple request: “If they’re estranged from any loved ones, to love and live every day.”

You never know, she said, when a moment might become a final memory.

Serving humanity Fundraising for causes Kate supported has become a Steinle family mission.

‘We’ve never done, ‘Why?’ There is no why. And we’ve never been angry.

Never revengeful.

There’s no room for it.’

Jim Steinle, Kate’s father

They’re currently organizing a fundraising 5K and 10K run, with proceeds dedicated to Students Rising Above and the Challenged Athletes Foundation. The college scholarships and athletic grants provided by these nonprofits give youth the resources to achieve their dreams, her parents said.

“It’s serving humanity in Kate’s name,” her dad said.

Their family takes comfort in the letters of support they’ve received from around the world. Letters detail how Kate supported a stranger or became a friend to someone who desperately needed one.

A soldier wrote from a base in Afghanistan, saying, “I don’t know how you all are doing this” — saying their fight was tougher than mortar shells and hidden roadside bombs.

The unusual circumstances of her death led to some expressions of hate and divisiveness, particularly from political pulpits. Most recently, her name was invoked in Donald Trump’s nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

“Instead, my opponent wants sanctuary cities,” Trump said. “But where was sanctuary for Kate Steinle?”

But the politicalization of her life and death isn’t the legacy Kate wanted to leave, said her friend

Karie Chamberlain, a Livermore resident who grew up with her in Pleasanton.

“It’s not going to bring her back; it’s not going to make it easier.

It’s just going to distract from the beautiful person,” Chamberlain said in an interview the week of Kate’s death.

But love — that’s what she left behind, her family said.

So her family loves others because Kate would have loved them.

They love to keep darkness at arm’s length.

“We’ve never done, ‘Why?’ There is no why,” her dad said. “And we’ve never been angry. Never revengeful. There’s no room for it.”

Jim said his family’s faith has gotten them through the past year.

Once, he felt the strong urge to just go to his church, Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore. It wasn’t time for the service he usually attended, but he went anyway.

“I felt like I had to go,” Jim said.

“And someone was there to pray for me, and you really felt the presence of God.” Kate’s mom said everything was shaken by Kate’s death — her marriage, her family’s relationships and her own sense of self. Faith enabled them all to lean on something other than fractured loved ones.

“I just pray for strength and guidance and peace,” Liz said, a tear sliding down her face, “and that I can somehow feel her.”

There’s also melancholy in knowing Kate already loved Reiss before she was born and couldn’t wait to hold her, Warehouse said. She said Brad regrets that Kate never got to meet her niece — didn’t get to settle down and raise her own children alongside them.

There are no perfect words for Brad to describe the depth of his family’s loss.

At the most profound moments of remembering his sister — at the moments when the emotions feel palpable, when they cease to be ideas and he can physically feel the pain — words aren’t enough.

As he sat in silence, holding back a surge of grief, his infant daughter squirmed. She looked at her father from his knee and scrunched up her face until her eyes were nearly closed (she’s been practicing frowning, he said).

Brad laughed and tickled the little girl. His eyes relaxed and he wiped away a tear.

He kissed his baby daughter. His little Reiss Kathryn Steinle. Q

Steinle family Good For Your Soul 5K/10K What: The Steinle family is hosting a 5K and 10K race to honor the memory of their daughter Kate and to raise money for the charities she supported.

New life Kate’s childhood dresser sits where it did 20 years ago — in the same room, in the same corner. It just has a different owner.

Little onesies and baby socks fill the drawers. The animal knobs match an “exploration” theme in 1-year-old Reiss’s room, the same room that Kate had when she was a child. Kate always loved her travels, Brad said, so they’re passing that joy on to Reiss.

“Reiss has been the most amazing blessing because she’s brought new life,” he said. “It’s been one of our saviors for our family.”

Brad said he’s grateful for a distraction, but it’s more than that.

He looks at his first-born and sees familiar spunk and free-will.

“Sometimes, I see her, and I think that there’s a little bit of Kate in her,” he said.

The Steinle family has been grappling with Kate’s death and the media whirlwind that ensued last summer.

Asian American works on display ‘Transformation’ celebrates 25 years of artists’ evolution

as they have worked to build a legacy of art.

A few of the notable artists, in addition to Liew, are the following: • Barbara Horiuchi, who works with Sumi ink on large sheets of handmade Iwano paper. She’s a third generation American of Japanese ancestry, and her work unearths her family history while addressing associated historical injustices experienced by West Coast Japanese in the last century.

• Lydia Nakashima Degarrod, who is from Chile, has an installation entitled “Landscape of a Dream” that explores dreams and their causes, including fear and joy. She said her goal is “to produce artworks which convey the aesthetics of social events or places in which individuals share events of an extraordinary nature.”

can Women Artists,” and it features works by 42 women who are members of the Asian American Women Artists Association. AAWAA began in the late 1980s as an artists’ collective and has grown into an influential arts organization.

“I reached out to their executive director about two years ago after doing a little research about their group, which is headquartered in San Francisco,” Finegan recalled. “They were excited about showing at the Harrington and elicited past and present member artists for entries, which they then juried.”

“Transformation” celebrates the evolution of the members

‘This cultural exhibition ... will be interesting, thoughtprovoking, evocative and inspiring.’

“Visitors can listen to artist sound performances while looking at the corresponding visual arts piece,” Finegan said.

The Harrington Gallery is located at the Firehouse Arts Center, 4444 Railroad Ave. Its regular gallery hours are 12-5 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays; and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturdays, as well as during performances in the theater.

“Transformation” will run through Sept. 3.

“It is definitely a different exhibit, with many of the artists providing commentary about their experiences of growing up Asian in this community, or touching on the experiences of their family’s early immigrants,” Finegan said.

“I feel that this cultural exhibition featuring the works of Asian American women will be interesting, thought-provoking, evocative and inspiring, and will serve our growing diverse population here in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley.” Q

Walk into the current exhibit at Pleasanton’s Harrington Gallery slowly and allow your imagination to be captured by a 6-foot glass kimono with photo silk-screened images, held together with copper wire. This piece ties in with a nine-panel painting series by Lucy Liew.

“Her work usually features vivid botanical compositions, and in this particular collection, she has painted gray scale, decaying leaves over a backdrop of varying even-toned pastel hues,” said Julie Finegan, gallery director and curator.

Firehouse’s 7th season begins in September

BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI

Pleasanton’s Firehouse Arts Center begins its seventh theater season next month, with a lineup of legendary names, Bay Area theater productions, comedy, blues and jazz, and magic.

The 2016-17 season opens with vocal powerhouse Ariana Savalas (Telly’s daughter) at 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 3. Also in September are the Bird Dogs with their tribute to the Everly Brothers on Sept. 10, and the Young Dubliners on Sept. 30.

“We have a lot of recognizable, iconic names and sounds this season, juxtaposed against exciting names people may not know but who will blow your socks off,” said Rob Vogt, who supervises the intimate 227-seat theater.

Marc Broussard and his band, billed as “Soulful Bayou Blues, will perform Oct. 14.

“Just Broussard alone with his guitar can make the walls rumble,” Vogt said.

WeBanjo3, which holds All-Ireland titles due to its “flamboyant mix of Irish, bluegrass and old-time

music,” will come in mid-February, then folk music will continue with the Hunts from the southlands of Virginia on April 22.

The Firehouse’s popular tribute concert lineup, in addition to the Everly Brothers, includes the music of the Kingston Trio, Barbra Streisand, John Denver, Elvis and Led Zeppelin. Another returning favorite will be Spencer Day in March.

The season will also include the Cashore Marionettes, Oct. 21-22, which perform to music without dialogue.

“With the intricacy of the marionettes and simple hand gestures, what they are able to convey is incredible and profound,” Vogt said.

Comedians taking to the stage include 3 Blonde Moms, Four Bitchin’ Babes, and a Big Fat Year-End Kiss-Off. Musicals by resident professional troupe Pacific Coast Repertory Theatre will be “My Fair Lady,” “Anything Goes” and “Evita!”

Civic Arts Stage Company, the city’s children’s theater program in

collaboration with Bay Area Children’s Theatre, is staging “The Phantom Tollbooth Jr.” in September, “Getting to Know ... The Sound of Music” in December, and “Madagascar: A Musical Adventure Jr.” in March.

Pleasanton’s teen improv troupe Creatures of Impulse will round out the theater programming with longand short-form improv shows.

The season wraps up May 21 with Women of the World, the international a cappella quartet that performs original and traditional music with contemporary twists — and in 29 languages.

A plus for everyone attending shows in the theater is the chance to view the current exhibits at the Harrington Gallery in the arts center.

Also, in the lobby, Pleasanton’s own Cellar Door Wine Bar offers a variety of wine, beer and noshes, which can be enjoyed inside the theater.

Tickets for Season 7 are now for sale; go to www.firehousearts.org, call 931-4848 or purchase at the theater box office, 4444 Railroad Ave. Q

BY DENNIS MILLER

Foothill grad Friedl signs with Cincinnati Reds Outfielder has whirlwind free agency after missing MLB draft over eligibility confusion A simple misunderstanding has turned into a financial gain and a professional baseball career for Foothill High graduate TJ Friedl.

When we last wrote about Friedl, who was coming off an incredible baseball season for the University of Nevada at Reno, he was heading off to play for Team USA in international competition.

Team USA was made up of college players and after playing exhibition games here in the United States, headed off to Korea for the international play.

During the two weeks when he was named to Team USA and they left for Korea, Friedl went from looking forward to his junior year at Nevada to getting ready for a career with the Cincinnati Reds organization.

And all because of a simple misunderstanding.

When a baseball player opts to go to college instead of turning pro, he must put in three years of college or turn 21 before he can apply for the Major League Baseball draft. In the case of the Friedl family, they thought it meant three years of playing baseball, not just attending college.

As TJ had one redshirt year in college, the family thought he had to play one more season before applying to the draft. In reality, Friedl was eligible to apply to this year’s draft as he had attended college for three years.

But while Friedl was down in Southern California wowing the staff of Team USA, as well as several Major League scouts, he was approached by a MLB executive.

“The general manager of the (Los Angeles) Angels pulled TJ aside and asked him why he wasn’t in the draft,” said Terry Friedl, TJ’s father.

LISE WINN

TJ Friedl suiting up for Team USA earlier this summer.

“He told him that he needed to play three years of baseball. The Angels guy looked at TJ and said it was three years of academics.”

It escalated quickly from that point as TJ was a free agent because he went undrafted. He was available to any team in baseball.

“His phone started blowing up,” Terry said. “Teams were trying to figure out how they missed him. I had six agent firms contacting me.”

The family sat down and selected an agent and a financial adviser, a necessity to sort through all the options. At that point, teams were instructed to contact the agent and not bother the family.

Initially it was the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays that came through with the best offers.

Finally, the Reds entered the fray

late, coming from “out of the blue,” according to Terry.

Still there was one thing hanging over TJ’s head — he felt like he was letting down his teammates and coach T.J. Bruce at Nevada if he went pro. He was set to be the captain for the Wolfpack, a position he didn’t take lightly.

“He called the coach at Nevada and talked about it,” Terry said.

“Coach Bruce told him, if you don’t sign a contract, I will come down there and sign it for you. He really needed to hear that.”

The self-professed National League family felt it was an easy decision to pick the Reds and the ride started there.

This week, the family flew back to Cincinnati where TJ underwent his physical before signing his contract. The family was able to take in a Reds’ game yesterday against St. Louis and fellow Pleasanton product Stephen Piscotty, who plays for the Cardinals.

Following that, the parents headed home and off went TJ to Billings, Mont. for Rookie League. After the rookie season ends, he will spend some time in Arizona before coming back home in October.

Friedl will head back to Nevada for a while to knock off some classes, as the family is keeping his room at school so TJ can keep his education going. Quite the roller coaster.

“It was crazy,” Terry said. “All this happened in such a short period of time.” Q Dennis Miller is a contributing sports writer for the Pleasanton Weekly.

Tri-Valley headed for another Babe Ruth World Series Most players on team won World Series title last year as 13-year-olds

BY JEREMY WALSH

The Tri-Valley all-stars have booked their spot in the Babe Ruth 14-year-old World Series in Massachusetts, and for most of these boys, a tournament against the nation’s best teen baseball players will be a familiar experience.

Eleven of the players on this year’s 14-year-old Tri-Valley team won a Babe Ruth World Series championship last year in the 13-year-old division in New York.

The boys are set to head to Westfield, Mass. next week to try to make it back-to-back World Series titles.

This year’s 14-year-old all-stars consists of players from Pleasanton, Danville and San Ramon, including three players who were not on last year’s 13-year-old squad.

The Tri-Valley team opened their successful tournament run by beating Palo Alto 7-0 this summer in the Northern California championship in Woodland.

That secured the teens a ticket to the Pacific Southwest Regional tournament, where in their first three games they beat the Oahu Sluggers (Hawaii) 8-5, Reedley (Fresno) 8-0 and Westchester (Southern California) with a 2-1 walk-off win.

In the regional championship, Tri-Valley beat the Hamilton Huskies (Arizona) 9-5. Monte Vista High’s Tommy Gavello was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and Amador Valley High’s Jaden Sheppard earned Most Valuable Pitcher.

Next up for the local boys is traveling to Massachusetts for the World Series on Tuesday, with the parade and pre-event festivities set for Wednesday and the games starting on Thursday.

They will compete against

PFLL all-stars crowned NorCal champs Majors team sweeps through postseason undefeated

Expires 8/19/16

Page 16 • August 5, 2016 • Pleasanton Weekly

A group of all-stars from Pleasanton Foothill Little League’s majors division capped off a 12-0 playoff run by winning the Northern California 10/11-year-old Little League Championship outside Redding last weekend, giving PFLL its first ever NorCal crown.

The team was strong at the plate, on the mound and in the field throughout the postseason and displayed much of the same consistency in the title game.

The PFLL players defeated West Sacramento 8-4 in the tournament finale played in Anderson, using a

five-run third inning to break a 3-3 tie and ultimately propel them to the championship victory.

The local all-stars played on different teams during the PFLL majors division regular season and then joined forces for the postseason run, which saw them win tournaments at the district, sectional and NorCal levels.

They outscored opponents 13140 and belted 134 hits overall during the playoffs. The pitching staff posted a 2.60 ERA, and the pitching and defense allowed a total of 68 hits during the 12 games.

The Northern California cham-

pionship included the top Little League teams between Bakersfield and the Oregon border. It was the final competition for the 10/11-year-olds, as there is no nationwide Little League World Series for that age range.

The PFLL team consisted of Matt Andre, Evan Bilter, Ryan Cannon, Tyler Dishman, Aidan Hendershaw, Michael Kullman, Noah Lombardi, Nathan Mammini, Ben Miller, Jackson Ogolin, Will Spinola, and Tyler Tarpley, with manager Jeff Tarpley and coaches Mike Ogolin and Eric Andre. Q —Jeremy Walsh

997 All Other Legals NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: BETTY L. CASTRO Case No.: RP16823428 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of BETTY L. CASTRO. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: PAMELA MARTIN in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA. The Petition for Probate requests that: PAMELA MARTIN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on AUGUST 29, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: 201 of the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, located at 2120 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: /s/ Thomas Bonte, 1300 Tenth Street, Suite F, Modesto, CA 95354 (209)522-1850 (Pleasanton Weekly, July 29, Aug. 5, 12; 2016)
