The City of San Leandro is looking to fill former councilmember Bryan Azevedo’s seat after he retired on Feb. 10.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Azevedo pleaded guilty to federal charges the next day. The charges involve conspiracy to accept bribes and lying to federal investigators. His next court appearance is on Dec. 3.
Azevedo’s plea included admission to accepting a free trip to Vietnam with 10 days worth of hotel stays and meals. Azevedo agreed with two co-conspirators to use his status as a councilmember in order to convince the city to purchase their modular housing units. His co-conspirators said Azevedo would get a percentage of the sales if he set up a bank account under his wife’s name.

Should High School Athletes Play Through Pain?
Athletic trainers provide care to keep young
athletes safe
March is National Athletic Training Month and the Washington Health Sports Medicine Program is celebrating its high school athletic trainers.
In 2010, Russell Nord, MD, the medical director of the Sports Medicine Program, observed a need for a comprehensive sports injury treatment and prevention program for area high school athletes. Two years later, working with Fremont Unified School District (FUSD), the Sports Medicine Program provided an athletic trainer (AT) to work at a pilot high school covering practices and special events. Due to the success of the program, two more FUSD high schools were added. The partnerships with the school district grew when the last two district high schools were added, along with Newark Memorial High School. This provided athletic trainers on-site full time in each of the six high schools on a daily basis. Logan High School in Union City has their own program. Mike Rogers, ATC, director of Washington Health Off-site Services, said the outreach program is a match made in athletic heaven.
Head-to-Toe Care
“Our on-site athletic trainers are there to provide immediate and emergency care, injury prevention and therapeutic intervention,” Rogers said. “In partnership with the school districts, they are on
campus every day, covering practices, special events and games to provide care for any athlete that may get injured.”
Dr. Nord further explained, “Athletic trainers are on hand to examine, assess and manage any athletic injuries. They then work hand-in-hand with sports medicine physicians if the student athlete needs further evaluation and treatment.”
He continued, “Athletic training programs in local schools provide valuable support to the community, filling the void in medical care for injured athletes, and preventing long-term damage through proper care and prevention.
“In the absence of ATs, the coach has to be a de facto medical professional, and that’s not their forte. Ideally, you want someone with the knowledge and training to make important decisions about an athlete’s safety, finding the right way to get them back to play. Embedding athletic trainers in the schools is the best way to ensure that.”
Playing to Win
Washington Health Sports Medicine ATs are typically the first point of contact for athletes experiencing injuries, many of which happen during practice. “More than 60% of injuries happen in practice, not in a game,” Rogers explained. “So if you only provide health
care coverage for games, you’re missing the bulk of injuries. Athletic trainers also serve as a safety net for the school to ensure the student is cleared to play, taking the pressure off the coach.”
California has instituted special rules for athletes who have suffered concussions during practice or sporting events. The school-based ATs are vitally important to make sure students follow the state guidelines before they return to play.
“If you get diagnosed with a concussion, you have to go through a minimum of a seven-day guided return to play,” Rogers explained. “Having someone on campus every day allows the AT to monitor and run these athletes through the protocol, verifying they are passing each stage without increasing symptoms. Then the AT will get with our sports medicine physicians for their assessment and the final approval to go back to athletic activities.”
Health Care Professionals
Like most clinical health care workers, athletic trainers must stay current with industry developments and complete 50 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain certification.
Each of the six high schools in the Washington Health Sports Medicine Program were designated as Safe Sports School by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, some of the first public schools in California to earn the distinction. The schools first earned the highest level of the award in 2020 and were recently renewed through 2026. The Safe Sports School program was created to recognize secondary schools around the country that provide the safest environments for student athletes and reinforces the importance of providing the best level of injury prevention and treatment.
Community Benefit
Dr. Nord firmly believes placing athletic trainers in local schools is crucial to support our local high school athletes. The Washington Health Sports Medicine Program also provides annual athletic physicals for students at each of the six participating high schools for a nominal fee. The money received is donated back to the schools to be used for their individual athletic programs.
“Aside from helping our local athletes, the athletic trainer element of the Sports Medicine Program represents a point of pride and a shining example of
“The health system definitely deserves a lot of credit for having the vision to see this community need years ago.”
Russell Nord, MD
community-based collaboration between FUSD, NUSD and Washington Health. It’s something all parties can certainly be proud of,” Dr. Nord stated. The program is a financial collaboration between Washington Health and the school districts.
“The health system definitely deserves a lot of credit for having the vision to see this community need years ago,” Dr. Nord continued. “It started after we were observing what happens in the absence of athletic trainers. When an athlete is injured, it’s often initially unclear whether it’s a serious injury or not. At that point, there just really wasn’t anyone interfacing with the athletes who had the knowledge base and the training to make those decisions and get the athletes back to playing, all while maximizing their health. Now, with our outstanding athletic trainers, our student athletes are much safer.”

Back in the Golf Swing
Portola Valley Man Grateful for Washington Health Ortho Surgeon
A group of senior golf buddies in San Francisco is quickly emerging as the No. 1 fan club for a Washington Health orthopedic surgeon.
John Costouros, MD, of the Institute for Joint Restoration and Research (IJRR) at Washington Health, a renowned shoulder surgeon and pioneer in shoulder joint replacement, has repaired the shoulders of several men in this Olympic Club golfing group. The grateful patients are happy to refer others to Dr. Costouros.
Michael Dougherty, who divides his time between Portola Valley, California, and Scottsdale, Arizona, is the latest member of this golf group to have shoulder replacement by Dr. Costouros, one of a handful of U.S. surgeons skilled in a novel type of robotic surgery.
“Last May, when I came back to California from the winter in Arizona, my buddies told me that I needed to see Dr. Costouros,” said Dougherty. Even though other prominent health centers were minutes away from his home, Dougherty trusted his friends and made an appointment to see Dr. Costouros.
Dougherty, who injured his shoulder slipping on a wet floor at a Mexican resort in 2024, had already consulted with three orthopedic surgeons in both California and Arizona, including team doctors for Major League Baseball. Only one of the three wanted to do the complicated shoulder repair, and the
“Dr.
• last doctor to offer an opinion advised Dougherty to live with it.
Living With Pain Was No Fun
“I lived with the pain because I was able to function and still play golf, but as I told my buddies, it only hurt at the top of the swing, on impact, and at the finish,” said the 73-year-old commercial roofing executive with a smile. “I finally said to myself, ‘This isn’t any fun.’“That’s when he went to see Dr. Costouros.
“I liked him immediately,” explained the married father of two and grandfather of three. “His resume was very impressive. Dr. Costouros explained how he would do the surgery, and said that after seeing my scans, a robotic procedure would be best to maintain the function for an active guy like me.”
A reverse shoulder replacement flips the position of the natural ball-andsocket structure of the shoulder joint, placing a metal ball on the shoulder socket side and a plastic cup on the arm bone. It allows the deltoid muscle to lift the arm instead of the rotator cuff. The type of robotic device that Dr. Costouros uses enhances his skill to make the joint fit within 1 millimeter of accuracy and precision, better than the human eye. This is the same technology that has perfected hip and knee replacement.
Dr. Costouros, who trained at Harvard Medical School, the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, and Stanford University, also
studied shoulder replacement technology in Zurich, Switzerland, where the technology was first developed, and helped bring it to the United States.
Surgery
Went Really Well
Dougherty had the surgery on Sept. 29, 2025, and was amazed at the lack of pain he had immediately following the procedure and during the month-long recovery in a sling. “I give Dr. Costouros all the credit and attribute having no pain to the way he did the surgery.”
“I didn’t ask a lot of questions,” Dougherty noted. “I knew he was a pioneer in robotic surgery, and I trusted my friends at the Olympic Club. I’m in
good shape for my age, and everything went really well.” He was home by midafternoon after the early-morning surgery. This was Dougherty’s only orthopedic surgery and first experience with Washington Health, one that he is very grateful for. “Everyone was wonderful, from the surgeon to the physician assistant, to the nurses and physical therapists.”
Dougherty is back to playing a good round of golf, traveling, watching the stock market, and working.

Demise of a leviathan
By Stephanie Uchida
Recently, this newsroom covered a push for funding for the long-awaited Irvington BART Station. On Feb. 12, the BART board of directors met to discuss a drastic scaling back of BART’s current functionality, starting with a 63% reduction of service in January 2027. BART may vote on the proposed reduction plans as soon as Feb. 26.
The room buzzed with an energy between anxiety and despair as directors advocated for stations in their districts. But the reality is the math ain’t mathing for BART to continue meaningful service with its current revenues. Shutting down all stations and retiring the cars
is a real possibility within the next few years.
BART has always felt like an integral part of the Bay Area. I remember being a kid, going under the Bay on rides into San Francisco. I remember when half of Lake Elizabeth was drained to allow BART to progress past what had always been the end of the line, into Warm Springs—and then into Milpitas and Berryessa. When I had an internship at Berkeley, I took the train every day.
But as much as I pay lip service to the value of public transportation, I haven’t been
on BART in years. Without my car, my commute would take hours. And forget about running errands on the way.
Unlike VTA, which gained the majority of its budget from taxes and grants in 2025, BART is supposed to be self supporting. Riders pay fares for a service that helps them in their daily lives, and their participation keeps that service thriving. Now BART is locked in a downward spiral: Funding comes from ridership, so they can’t cut back services to save money without also further reducing cash flow.
One bright spot in the bleak updates, particularly in the context of BART’s fare-reliant structure, was the effectiveness of new fare gates installed at all 50 stations. As a surprising bonus, the gates led to a 961-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Missing context on Irvington BART Station funding responsibility
Dear Editor, Your Feb. 10, 2026 article ‘Officials pressure BART to apply for funding: California transportation funds could help complete planned Irvington Station” omits crucial historical context about who is actually responsible for funding this project.
Between 1992 and 1995, Fremont sued BART to force construction of a tunnel under Lake Elizabeth instead of elevated tracks through Central Park. After the city lost in appeals court, the parties reached a quid pro quo: BART would build the expensive subway alignment, and Fremont would fund the Irvington station. This was confirmed by former BART director Thomas Blalock and former
Fremont Mayor Gus Morrison in a 2017 East Bay Times article (eastbaytimes. com/2017/03/22/bart-ridersfremont-residents-hope-relief-is-on-the-way-with-warmsprings-station-opening/).
BART fulfilled its commitment, building the tunnel at significantly higher cost. Fremont committed to funding the station through Measure BB and other local sources.
The city’s funding responsibility is explicitly documented in official records. A December 2018 presentation by the city public works director to the Alameda County Transportation Commission states: “City/Agency responsible for all future costs” of the then-estimated $120 million project (alamedactc.org/wp-content/
uploads/2018/12/P4-B-Irvington-Station-Update-Jim-Pierson.pdf). When Measure B reauthorization lacked sufficient funds, the station became “optional” and the “City agreed to find funding.”
More significantly, Fremont’s own Irvington BART Station Area Plan includes a 17-page chapter titled “Implementation and Financing Plan” detailing how the city would fund the station through development impact fees, Mello-Roos districts, special assessments, bonds and grants including Measure BB, SB 1 and OBAG (fremont.gov/ home/showpublisheddocument/2171/63775443015930 0000). The plan states the city is “prepared to make strategic use of develop -
hour reduction in corrective maintenance in the paid areas over six months. Entrance canopies in San Francisco also protect new escalators and improve security by allowing stations to be locked after hours.
Director Mark Foley noted at the meeting, “This is the good news that the Bay Area needs to hear, but it’s not what’s going to be on the 6 o’clock news tonight.”
Seeing the difference it makes to require people to pay for their rides and respect the stations makes me wonder if public transit is failing us, or if we failed BART by taking it for granted.
Maybe in five years, we’ll be looking at grass growing on the skeletons of BART tracks, which weave around Bay Area cities like a dead Midgard Serpent. I hope not. As much as I like my car, I want people to have options for clean, safe and reliable trains.
ment impact fee revenue and available grant funding as needed.”
Now Senator Wahab and Mayor Salwan criticize BART for not pursuing state grants— reframing BART’s position as “inaction” rather than honoring an agreement where Fremont accepted funding responsibility in exchange for the costly Central Park tunnel. This shifts blame from the city’s failure to implement its own financing plan to BART, despite BART facing a fiscal crisis.
The city seems to be gaslighting the public about BART’s funding responsibility.
The public deserves to know this history. Fremont made a commitment, received what it bargained for, created detailed plans to fund the station and now appears to be walking away from its obligations while pointing fingers at BART.

HOT HONEY SHOWS NO SIGNS OF COOLING OFF
This condiment earns the social media hype
By Daniel O'Donnell
Many trends come and go but some have staying power. Denim jeans for example, were patented on May 20, 1873, and were popular with miners, railroad workers and laborers. They entered the mainstream in 1934 with the introduction of women’s jeans and again in the 1950s with cool teenagers. Jeans have been trendy ever since. Hot honey might be one of the trends that has the same longevity.
Hot honey is honey infused with red chili pepper flakes and apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar. The combination of ingredients makes a delicious condiment. It has a sweet and mildly spicy flavor that pairs well with a wide range of foods and elevates many dipping sauces, glazes and dressings.
Honey has been infused with spicy ingredients as far back as ancient Egypt. People in Africa, South and Central America, and South-East Asia have been infusing honey with fiery ingredients for centuries. However, it was not until 2010 when the first drizzle of hot honey was introduced on pizzas in a Brooklyn pizzeria, that hot honey became one of the most popular food trends in U.S. history. Shortly after that it became one of the hottest world crazes thanks to social media.
A student named Mike Kurtz was studying abroad in Brazil in 2003. At a pizzeria he saw jars of chilies steeped in honey for drizzling over pizza. The flavor was amazing and inspired him when he returned to the states a year later to create his own spicy honey recipe. He gave jars of it to friends and family as gifts with the label Mike’s Hot Honey after he perfected it.
While working at Paulie Gee’s pizzeria in Brooklyn in 2010, he managed to get a pizza with hot honey onto the menu. It was an instant hit, and by 2014, Mike was bottling his hot honey for large-scale commercial production. Today, Mike’s Hot Honey and many other brands are sold in grocery stores and used in restaurants worldwide.
Many food trends come and go but this does not seem to be the case with hot honey. Although hot honey became a trend on TikTok, it was globally popular before going viral, making its appeal independent of social media. Its delicate balance between sweet and spicy lends it versatility.
Hot honey has been enjoyed on chicken wings, pork ribs, sandwiches, salads, fish, ice cream and in specialty coffee drinks and cocktails since 2010, years before its internet fame. It’s also important to remember that it was a popular pizza condiment in Brazil long before Mike’s Hot Honey was introduced to the American market.
Fast-food establishments such as KFC, McDonald’s, Taco Bell and many others chains feature hot honey menu items. Many corporate casual dining restaurants such as Buffalo Wild Wings, Shake Shack and Panera serve items that incorporate hot honey. It’s common to find hot honey sauces, dressings or as a condiment in independent Asian restaurants, sandwich shops, pizzerias, BBQ joints and even some finer dining places. Hot honey snack food editions such as popcorn, potato chips, crackers and nuts are common in grocery stores.
Hot honey tastes great but also makes you physically feel better. Its sweetness persuades the brain to feel a sense of comfort. Its spiciness also activates the brain to sense pain and in turn release
three teaspoons of red pepper flakes.
endorphins and dopamine which create a sense of euphoria.
There are other sweet and spicy food combinations such as dark chocolate and chili bars, pepper jellies and spicy maple syrups, but hot honey is unusual. The honey coats the tongue which tempers the heat sensation while still allowing the pepper to stimulate the body’s natural painkillers. The heat stimulates nerves in the tongue which enhances the sweet taste. This synergy between the honey and chili peppers can enhance overall taste by 30% or more.
Hot honey is simple to make at home. Place one cup of honey and three teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes in a sauce pan. Different peppers can be included or substituted if desired. Bring to a simmer and stir in one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Remove from heat, place a lid on the pan and let the mixture rest for 20 minutes.
Taste for spiciness. Add more pepper flakes if not hot enough or add more honey to dilute the spiciness and bring back to a simmer for a few minutes, then let rest for 20 more minutes. If the mixture has the preferred spiciness, pour it directly into a glass jar or first strain it through a cheese cloth first. The pepper flakes will continue to infuse heat into the honey if left in.
Ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise were new to people’s palates at some point. Hot honey will probably be popular for years to come and just like these three, it could infuse itself into being one of the most loved American condiments.

DoorDash robots will soon appear in Fremont’s downtown
● Robots will roll out in phases as city tests performance abilities
By Roelle Balan
Over the next several months
DoorDash robots will be rolling around downtown Fremont. Fremont City Council just approved a pilot program for the robots, called Dot.
The first phase is 1A, where three robots will be closely monitored and trained by human DoorDashers. City staff invites the bike community and other community members to ride along or walk along Dot to see how it interacts and senses them.
“I would just encourage transparency through the process to build trust with the community,” said Mayor Raj Salwan. “I think that’s key.”
Up to 30 robots will be monitored remotely during phase 1B. The robots’ routes include Fremont Boulevard and Paseo Padre. The street intersections
are from Decoto to Stevenson. The robots will move at a speed of 15mph on bike lanes and roads and 3mph on sidewalks.
If people want to get a glimpse of how the robots operate, they will be featured during the city’s restaurant week, March 6 to 15.
The biggest concerns are safety issues. DoorDash representative Henry Greenridge said Dot will make stops at traffic lights and when pedestrians are nearby.
One member of a bike club said half of their group are seniors who are already worried about debris on the roads. She said the bots suddenly stopping will make the situation worse.
San Leandro narrows down possible tax ballot measures
● Options include reduced tax for small businesses, parcel tax on properties and tax on vacant properties
By Roelle Balan
Three San Leandro tax measures are under consideration for this November’s ballot. The city council on Feb.17 chose to continue research on a business licence tax, a parcel tax and a vacancy tax.
Those who own a business in the city pay a business license tax. City staff suggested they increase the license tax
for businesses that make more money. This would reduce the tax for small businesses. The city can make an additional $4.3 million annually if voters pass this tax.
At least 50% of voters plus one vote is required to pass this tax. City staff said this tax has not been updated for at least 15 years. Union City approved this type of tax and Hayward is considering an update to their business tax.
The robots will have cameras for a 360-degree view of their surroundings. Greenridge said the cameras do have an ability to record, but will work with the city about appropriate privacy policies.
Greenridge said the robots will probably not work well with people who have trouble walking and moving, and would only be able to reach doors at some homes.
The robots debuted in Arizona. San Ramon and Concord are the first Bay Area cities that tried out the robots. Councilmember Desrie Campbell suggested that city staff share stories from cities that have already deployed the robots, including what went well and what the cities learned.
The parcel tax is a tax on existing properties and is not based on property value. Considerations include taxing per parcel or square footage. The city can make an additional $5 to $7 million annually if this passes. A 66.7% voter approval rate is required to pass this tax. A 2024 poll showed that nearly 58% of voters supported the possibility of this tax.
The vacancy tax is a tax on vacant properties. City staff said the tax involves hiring three fulltime staff to enforce the tax. It requires at least 50% plus one voter approval to pass. About 61% of voters support the possibility of this tax during a 2020 poll. There are currently no estimates on how much the city can make from this tax every year, but staff said it’s on the lower end compared to other taxes that were talked about during the meeting.
City council to fill the seat by April 11
— Continued from page 1
The city council decided on filling Azevedo’s seat through appointment. This involves an application process where an appointment is made by April 11. Interested candidates have from now until March 10 to complete an application. The position opened Feb. 23.
Councilmember Sbeydeh Viveros-Walton spoke against the illegal actions taken by Azevedo and apologized to San Leandro residents, voters, city staff and businesses.
“While those actions were not taken by this body, accountability does not stop with that individual,” she said at the Feb. 17 city council meeting. “But as elected officials we are accountable for the systems that we oversee and the trust that is placed in us.”
Mayor Juan Gonzalez addressed the guilty pleas on a Feb. 11 video statement to residents. “The sacred trust between you as the voter and us as electeds, that trust serves as the foundation for democracy. And today’s admission by Councilmember Azevedo, represents a violation of that trust.”
STEPPING DOWN Byan Azevedo retired from his city council position on Feb. 10 and pleaded guilty the next day.

Cadillac SUV goes big time
● Vistiq 3-Row Electric SUV is a luxury ride
By Michael Coates
The sweet spot in the electric SUV world right now is big three-row SUVs. They provide room for family, friends and luggage. Silent running over substantial ranges makes them good for extended trips. They come in a variety of sizes and price ranges, but the premium ones seem to have a quiet code: deliver everything you’d expect in a big gas SUV, but without that polluting gas thing.
Entrants in the premium/luxury end of this category come from all over the world, but among the electrics right now the big competition is American: The Lucid Gravity, Rivian’s R1S and this month’s test car, the Cadillac Vistiq. We tested the boxy Rivian last October and have taken short drives in the impressive Gravity.
All three do all that’s asked of them admirably, which is to be expected from these ~$100,000 machines. The Cadillac may be the most traditional of the group, but that’s not surprising when you see it’s from a 124-year-old company compared with its teenage-company competitors.
A Cadillac SUV in the middle
The Vistiq fits in the upper middle of a growing pantheon of Cadillac electric SUVs. It’s big, but not the biggest; that spot belongs to the Escalade IQ and IQL. But it dwarfs the smaller Optiq and Lyriq, the latter of which we tested last year and came away impressed.
Like many Cadillacs before it, the bigness of the Vistiq is very functional. Six adults can find comfort in the blue synthetic leather with the optional captain’s chair second-row setup (seven-passenger seating is standard). In front, comfort is paramount with seats that massage, heat, cool and which can be adjusted electronically 18 ways. You bask under three sunroofs and can be kept entertained with the standard 23-speaker AKG audio system with available Dolby Atmos.
Disruption will be minimal because the optional adaptive air ride suspension smooths out imperfections on the highway. From the driver’s perspective, this is a new Cadillac approach, one honed over recent decades as GM’s prestige brand sought to keep up with more nimble European competitors. You are allowed a feel for the road, but the main goal of undercarriage is to accentuate the comfort you’re feeling while tucked in those Phantom Blue quilted nouveauluxe seats.
The hardware
The tech underlying this Caddy has some other things to offer. Our model had optional rear-wheel steering, which made the 205-inch-long vehicle way more nimble than it had any right to be. U-turns became almost fun. The hefty 102 kWh battery kept the Vistiq firmly planted on the road while providing 300 real-world miles of all-electric range and fast-charging that can add up to 80 miles in 10 minutes at the fastest chargers.
Another tech aide that we put to the test in our more than 500 miles in the Vistiq was GM’s SuperCruise. The advanced Level 2, hands off but always ready to take back control, cruise control was great on the open road. Courteously and smoothly changing lanes to allow faster traffic to pass. Overall, I’d give SuperCruise a B+; it complemented the luxu-

The topic this year is how water influences or supports your health and wellness. The contest started in October, but every minute counts. When talking about the March 13 at 11:59pm video contest deadline, ACWD public affairs specialist Renee Gonzales laughed and said, “I get a lot of videos within that last hour.”
The rules are no AI and no video templates. Gonzales said they will be able to tell if they see any of these elements on video entries. “We want the students to be original in what they do and what they create,” she said. “That’s the challenge for them—how can they authentically create that video that’s representative of the topic?”
A special awards ceremony and reception for the winners and honorable mentions will take place in Fremont Downtown Event Center on April 30. The panel of judges will include industry experts that work in local government, entertainment and news.
At the ceremony, winners can meet the industry experts who saw their video. “It kind of validates their work,” Gonzales said. “The students put a lot of time and effort into this. It’s not an easy subject. You really have to take the time to think it through, create that storyboard and make it authentic, creative and really communicate that message in a way that will resonate with the judges.”
rious and serene long electric drive, but needing some further development.
The power of the Vistiq’s dual electric motors is impressive (615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque), but I was more impressed with its delivery. In keeping with the luxury image of Cadillac, it didn’t scream off the line, but stood at ready at the hint of need, adding quick acceleration when needed.
All that tech and range and power and luxury comes at a price. Our fully loaded test model was just above $95,000. Vistiqs with some but not all of the goodies we enjoyed start at under $80,000, but we recommend that if you can afford to shop in this class of vehicle, skimping is not recommended. Options like the rear-wheel steering and faster on-board charging really add to the enjoyment of the car, so are worth a longer look.
Winners will be able to see their winning video at local movie theatres several weeks later. They will show at a Tri-City theater before the feature films. Gonzales said winners will receive movie tickets during that time so they can see their video on the big screen.
Gonzales said the ACWD staff looks forward to the contest every year. “It’s honestly one of the highlights for the Alameda County Water District because we love working with students, and it’s an opportunity for them to stop and think about, ‘Hey, where does my water come from, what is its impact on my life?’”
Students can submit their video to: acwd.org/715/WaterClips-StudentVideo-Contest-2026.
HEAVY DUTY The Vistiq is large and heavy, but that becomes a plus on the road with a full contingent of passengers and luggage.

Sip away your troubles at Chanticleers’ first 2026 play
● ‘The Savannah Sipping Society’ is a new lease on life
By Hugo Vera
At Chanticleers Theatre’s production of The Savannah Sipping Society, Steel Magnolias meets The Golden Girls. Based on the 2016 play of the same name written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, director Matt Cardigan-Smith’s adaptation provides a perfect blend of humor, drama and upbeat storytelling.
Set in modern-day Savannah, Georgia, the story follows the plight of struggling architect Randa Covington (played by Mimi Hamilton). Randa enjoys her weekly informal meetings with recent widow Dot Haigler (Suzanne Ochs) and recent divorcee Marlafaye Mosley (Marsha Howard) as the three sip spirits and confide in one another about the tribulations they face as middle-aged Southern women.
Their impromptu sessions are upended by the arrival of the showboating hairdresser Jinx Jenkins (Paige Whitney), who quickly aspires to become a “life coach” upon meeting the trio. Now dubbed “The Savannah Sipping Society,” Jinx unofficially turns Randa, Dot and Marlafaye into her first clients as the four women are set on introspective journeys that explore themes of redemption, renewal and the bond of womanhood.
The crux of the show is undoubtedly the performances given by Hamilton, Ochs, Howard and Whitney as Randa, Dot, Marlafaye and Jinx, respectively. All four actresses display immense on-stage chemistry as well as a mastery of physical comedy.
Hamilton’s depiction of Randa features a level of optimism that brilliantly juxtaposes Dot’s innocence, Marlafaye’s cynicism and Jinx’s hidden insecurities.
Various moments throughout the show in which each character delivers a monologue to the audience during a “fourth wall break” allow each actress to effectively flesh out their respective character’s arcs. The brief, but hilarious appearance of Randa’s overbearing matriarch “Grandmother” (played by Joanne Barrett/Yvette Nichols) is an excellent indicator of the show’s tone.
“The ladies in this play choose not to look at their differences, instead focusing on what they have in common,” states Cardigan-Smith in his director’s note.
Much credit is also due to artistic director Christine Plowright and cos-
tume/scenic designer Alexandria Volk.
The design of the stage to expertly match the interior of a Southern living room aids in the audience’s suspension of disbelief. The wide array of costumes which range from loungewear to clubbing outfits to renaissance attire also manage to keep up with the many escapades of the Savannah Sipping Society members.
Various moments throughout the show in which each character delivers a monologue to the audience during a ‘fourth wall break’ allow each actress to effectively flesh out their respective character’s arcs
The show’s sound design also enhances the viewing experience as sounds such as pulsing nightclub music, Cuban salsa music and ambient outdoor noise expand the confines of Chanticleers Theatre to match the audience’s imagination. Through its wit, laughs and heartfelt moments, Chanticleers Theatre’s The Savannah Sipping Society is the perfect show for a night out this late-winter season.
Given the subject matter and language, this show is best suited for adult audiences.
Show duration: 95 minutes (not including intermission).

Mineral and Gem Show shines at Newark Pavilion
● Show featuring over 40 vendors, live demonstrations and family-friendly activities
By Sophie Luo
Collectors, geologists, hobbyists and students alike can look forward to the East Bay Mineral and Lapidary Club’s (EBML) Mineral, Gem & Jewelry Show & Sale on Saturday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 1.
In its 77th year, the event will feature over 40 vendors tabling, bringing their jewelry, rocks, minerals, semiprecious stones and gemstones to showcase. Additionally, live demonstrations of lapidary techniques and jewelry making with gemstones will take place.
Kim Taylor, president of EBML, said, “There are going to be different vendors and a greater variety of items this year, so it’ll be refreshing for people to come to the show to see.”
Taylor highlighted that there will be a live demonstration of how to pan for gold, alongside jewelry-making tutorials. Geologists who are certified by the Geological Institute of America will be present, providing gem identification services for guests who are bringing their collection.
The EBML club hosts educational and community events throughout the year. They have a classroom with machines for faceting—the process of cutting and polishing a gemstone to optimize its brilliance and color—
where weekend classes are hosted. The club also hosts open houses, where they invite the public to visit their shop and learn about their work. In the near future, they’re opening up classes to teach sphering and wire wrapping for jewelry-making.
Taylor, who’s been serving as president for the past two years, noted that the EBML club was established after a previous club, the Mineral & Gem Society of Castro Valley, had dissolved due to a decline in membership from the Covid pandemic. In the few years since then, the organization has amassed 106 members, who share their craftsmanship skills with the community by teaching classes.
This year, Taylor is hopeful that the showcase will help increase their outreach with the community and invite new members to join.

FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 24, 2026
BY GEORGIA NICOLS georgianicols.com
All Signs: On Feb. 14, Saturn entered Aries where it will stay for two and a half years. (This last happened from 1996 to the spring of 1999.) Saturn wants us to grow up and be responsible. Wherever Saturn moves through our chart represents where we must direct our closest attention. Saturn can help us get what we want in life because most of us are actually out of touch with our true desires. We might lose things we think we need. Because Saturn is meant to show us who we truly are, it is called the Great Teacher.
Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):
Saturn’s shift to your sign means you’re setting off on a new 30-year journey. In the first seven years, you will reinvent yourself. In the last 14 years, your focus was more on your external world, but now, you will turn your attention inward because it’s time to learn who you are on your own terms—not on other people’s. This is an excellent time to explore counselling or psychotherapy. Respect your body.
Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): Many of you are going through closets, garages and storage spaces getting rid of what you no longer need. In the next few years, not only will you get rid of possessions, you will get rid of beliefs, friendships, jobs and countries that no longer serve your purpose. Friendships and activities that once defined you will begin to have less appeal. The next several years will be a time of streamlining your life so that you’re ready to step out in a new world when Saturn enters your sign in 2028.
Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):
You are a social sign; however, in the next few years, you might outgrow certain friendships. Your social life might shrink because when it comes to relating to others, “quality over quantity” will be your motto. You might take on a leadership role with considerable responsibilities. You might redefine future plans. Whereas before you had vague ideas, now you
TRI-CITY STARGAZER
will define specific steps to achieve your vision of your future. It’s a good time to enter into professional networks to give you a clearer long-term direction.
Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):
You are entering your time of harvest, which occurs every 30 years. This will be a time of great responsibilities when you feel proud of your achievements—a graduation, getting married, having a baby, opening a business, receiving a big promotion, winning awards—it could be anything. Whatever you do will be visible. You might deal with bosses, the government and institutions more than usual. Some of you will be more involved with a parent. Whatever happens will give you more personal authority, respect and a clearer sense of your life direction.
Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):
In the next several years, Saturn is in your fellow Fire Sign giving you support in a practical, tangible way. Your life will run more smoothly. Take advantage of this and accomplish as much as possible. This is a time when you can make your world more secure against future difficulties. This is an excellent window of time to build up your physical strength. It’s also time to get “performance ready” for three years down the road, when you will receive acknowledgement for your hard work.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):
In the next few years, you might find that support will be reduced. Recently many of you have left a relationship or a partnership. Whatever happens will throw you back on your own two feet. This does not mean your life is going downhill. You will achieve your time of harvest in about five years. However, the next few years will be a time of major transformations when intense encounters with others will help you to define yourself. (Excellent preparation for when lucky Jupiter enters your sign next year.)
Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):
In the last 14 years, you worked to develop yourself. In the next few years, you will experience yourself more through one-to-one relationships. These close associations might test you. Coworkers might make greater demands on you. Partners and spouses will require patience, tolerance and understanding. Relationships that are weak might end. If you enter a new partnership, it might be with someone who is older or more serious. You are about to learn how to say no, as well as how to commit.
Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):
For the next two and half years, you will want to put everything in order so that you can make the maximum impact—
about three years from now—when you make your debut back into the world. You will feel your effectiveness as a human being is being tested. Conserve your energy because it’s easy to suffer from burnout. Treat your body like a tool that needs to be well cared for. Take care of your teeth and your skeletal structure by stretching or exploring Yoga or Tai Chi.
Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):
In the next two and a half years, Saturn will be in your fellow Fire Sign, which is supportive to you. This is why you will be able to accomplish as much as possible, especially training in sports, the arts and teaching. Because you love the outdoors, you’ll be pleased to know that in this window of time, you can build up your physical strength. Children might become an increased responsibility. You might also tone down your socializing. Whatever you produce now will be the result of applying your own creative efforts.
Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19): Your ruler Saturn will focus on your personal and domestic life in the next few years. Things you’ve been “putting up with” will now come to a head. You’ll want to reorganize your domestic world. Repairs are likely because what you want to do is create a firm base for yourself and your family. You might need to establish stronger boundaries with relatives. Now is the time to ask yourself what makes you feel safe? It’s time to build a home that reflects who you are and what you want.
Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18):
In the next several years, many of you will have a change of residence, a change of jobs or both. One thing is certain: You will develop better mental discipline. You might be more cautious in conversations. You might learn something through study, which increases your confidence in your own intellect. Many of you will tighten your daily routine. Some of you will have increased responsibilities with siblings and relatives. You might return to school or take a class or get serious about learning, writing or teaching. Ironically, as the networker of the zodiac, you might talk less.
Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):
In the next few years, you will learn more about what you really value. You might find that control over your material possessions seems to be slipping away from your hands. You might be afraid of financial insecurity. This will be your chance to learn discipline with money. Saturn wants you to seek financial stability. It also wants you to understand your values. Saturn is striving to give you financial maturity and stronger self-respect.

● Romance writer Rich Amooi leads workshop on grabbing reader interest in first page
By Tish Davidson
Want to write a book that captures your reader on page one? Rich Amooi, prize-winning author of romantic comedies, will present a free talk and interactive workshop on grabbing readers’ interest from the start at the Fremont Area Writers Zoom meeting on Feb. 28. He encourages attendees to bring the first few lines of their current writing project for discussion.
Amooi spent 25 years as an on-air radio personality and wedding DJ before becoming a writer. “I believe in love, silliness, infinite possibilities, donuts, gratitude, laughter and happily ever after,” he says. This is evident in his 28 books.
He also believes in serendipity. He met his wife because of a totally irrational desire to learn Spanish. He now speaks Spanish fluently and is a happily married man. His wife writes contemporary romance under the pen name Silvi Martín.
To make the jump from wedding DJ to romance writer, Amooi took creative writing classes at Stanford. His first novel, Five Minutes Late, evolved from a story written for one of those classes. His books include Hacking the Holidays, It’s Not PMS, It’s You, and Kissing Frogs. He is a Taleflick Discovery Winner, Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Recipient and Holt Medallion Finalist.
Fremont Area Writers is one of 21 branches of the California Writers Club. More information is available at cwc-fremontareawriters.org.

The stripes on a zebra are like the tiny lines of human fingerprints: No one zebra is striped exactly like another.
Zebras protect themselves by grouping together. When a group of zebras stand close together, it’s hard to see where one zebra starts and another ends. This optical illusion protects zebras from the lions, hyenas, leopards and cheetahs that hunt them.
Zip It!
Zippers were invented in the late 1800s. But they often popped open unexpectedly, causing a lot of embarrassment.
The zipper was perfected in 1923 on rubber boots made by the B.F. Goodrich Company.
The company called the fastener a zipper because you just had to “zip ’er up” or “zip ’er down.”
Circle every other letter to see what zippers were originally called.

New Zoo Idea
In 1907, German zoo owner Carl Hagenbeck came up with an idea that improved zoos. He dug moats around animal living areas. This reduced the need for barred cages and made it possible for animals to have larger, more natural enclosures.
Zebras are very fast! And they have to be in order to outrun lions and other predators.
Zebras can run up to 65 miles (105 km) per hour, while lions can reach up to 50 miles (80 km) per hour in short bursts. Cheetahs can reach up to 70 miles (112 km) per hour, so zebras must be alert at all times!

At night, a zebra can see as well as an owl.

LIFE CORNERSTONES
ROBERT “BOB” WILLIAM FENTRESS
November 18, 1950 – February 17, 2026
Robert “Bob” William Fentress, 75, passed away on February 17, 2026. He was born on November 18, 1950, in Oakland, California, to Robert Albert Fentress and Elizabeth Ann Fentress—arriving nine minutes and ten seconds before his twin brother, Thomas “Tom” Byrd Fentress.
Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Patricia Fentress; his brothers, Tom and Michael Bann Fentress; his daughters, Sherri Thompson and Kristine Strachan; his son, Stephen Fentress; as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
After serving his country as a cartographer in the United States Air Force, Bob made his home in Fremont, where he became a familiar and respected presence in the community. He worked as a letter carrier for more than 30 years, a profession he shared with his twin brother, Tom. Known affectionately by his postal colleagues as “Legs,” Bob’s dedication was honored in a mural at the Fremont Post Office, where he is depicted in uniform delivering mail.
Bob will be laid to rest at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery with full military honors.
LEROY CUNHA
October 11, 1938 – February 6, 2026
Lifelong Fremont native LeRoy Cunha, 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on February 6, 2026.
LeRoy was a beloved husband and father, treasured grandfather and great grandfather. LeRoy is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 49 years; his five children; seven grandchildren; and four great grandchildren, with another on the way.
Known for his strong, adventurous, and dynamic personality, he embraced life fully and lived it on his own terms.
For 56 years, LeRoy was the proud owner of Mission Irrigation, a business he built with dedication, hard work and the help of his two sons. He truly loved working with his hands and took great pride in his company. He had a natural gift for growing things and was known for his green thumb, nurturing both his business and his garden with care.
He was an avid hunter, traveler, and lover of reading and historical military collecting. His prized possession was his 1942 Willys Jeep, which he spent many fond hours restoring. He never lost his sense of wonder or independence, often traveling across the United States in convoy with the MVPA group in his Jeep. When he was not behind the wheel, you could find him in the mountains, happily speeding along on his snowmobile or searching for the perfect Christmas tree in his Snow-Razor.
He loved his family fiercely and found great joy and comfort in time spent with those he cared about most.
He is now reunited in heaven with his parents, older brother and favorite dog, watching over his loved ones. A life well spent and well enjoyed.

High school teams battle in winter playoffs
● Playoff season sees close losses and surprising wins
By April Ramos
It’s playoff season and East Bay schools are battling it out to reach the North Coast Section (NCS) champion title.
James Logan and Newark Memorial High Schools’ girls’ soccer teams ended their league games as top two teams in the Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL). However, their NCS run was cut short.
On Feb. 17, Newark faced Branson High School and took a 3-0 loss, while the Lady Colts faced Urban High School with an overwhelming 6-1 loss. These matches marked the end of both teams’ seasons.
In the girls’ basketball playoffs, two MVAL teams got past the first round of NCS. Hayward’s Moreau Catholic
secured an easy win against Fortuna with a 36-point lead, 72-36. In their second round of NCS playoffs the Moreau Mariners claimed another win against Marin Catholic, 74-48. On Wednesday, Feb. 25, the team will play in the semi-final against Justin-Siena on their home court for a change to make it to the championship game.
On Feb.18, American and Logan High School faced off in the first round of NCS. The Colts beat American with a 41-36 point win. Moving into the quarterfinals Logan lost to Justin-Siena—the same team Moreau will be facing in the semi-finals—60-41, marking their final game of the season.
Mission San Jose managed to push through the first round with a single-point win against Urban High
School, 47-46. On Friday, Feb. 20, Mission beat Kelseyville High, 61-47, propelling them into the semi-finals on Feb. 24, to face off against Benicia High School.
For boys’ basketball James Logan and Washington High qualified for the first round of NCS on Feb. 17. Neither team was able to power through with Logan falling to Cornerstone Christian 75-53 and Washington taking a loss at the hands of College Park, 85-47. Just out of the Tri-City, Hayward’s Moreau Catholic boys’ team fought hard for a win in the Open Division against De La Salle. But the Mariners, who played into overtime, weren’t able to secure the win with just a threepoint deficit, 71-68.
Boys’ Mission Valley League soccer champs, Newark Memorial ended their NCS journey early after an undefeated season falling to Mt. Diabo 2-1.
