Resource center expands multilingual services

● Fremont City Council approves three-year agreement with East Bay Agency for Children

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

At its June 17 meeting, the Fremont City Council approved a three-year agreement with the East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC) to expand multilingual support at the Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC). The $237,856 contract will fund resource specialists at the center’s Welcome Center from fiscal years 2025–26 through 2027–28.

EBAC staff will provide in-person and phone assistance in 10 languages—English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Dari, Korean, Pashto, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu. The goal is to ensure that families seeking public benefits, housing support or other services can receive culturally and linguistically appropriate help.

The FRC, established in 1999, brings together 24 city, county, state and nonprofit

The pandemic revealed the fragility of developed spaces. How human habits can change overnight, as when gathering is no longer feasible, leaving restaurants and department stores empty shells. Then, humans turn to something older, more constant: parks and open spaces. In times of crisis, people learn again how public land breaks down social and economic barriers, connecting people to their environment and to each other.

Guillermo Rodriguez, California state director and vice president for the Pacific Region for national nonprofit Trust with Public Land (TPL), spoke on the state of public land in 2025, as reflected in TPL’s ParkScore. He is proud to say he lives in San Francisco, coming in at #6 among the 100 most populous cities for park quality and accessibility.

“Public” land covers a spectrum: from National Parks to city-owned sports fields, to land owned by a nonprofit or another entity like the

“When we look at the polling results in red states and blue states, the one unifying aspect is that regardless of political affiliation, parks is a truly bipartison—no partisan—item that we all support,” says Rodriguez. In a recent TPL public opinion research report, 79% of respondents said they visit a local park regularly and feel comfortable spending time there, with Trump voters narrowly passing Harris voters in enthusiasm (83% to 80%).

Washington Health Trauma Center Achieves One-year Anniversary

2,200 patients treated for traumatic injuries

In the past year, the Washington Health Trauma Center has treated thousands of patients, including a local resident who leapt from a burning building, as well as victims of car crashes, falls, and other severe injuries.

As the trauma center marks its first year of operation on July 1, Medical Director Chet Morrison, MD, took a moment to reflect on how well the level II center has served the community.

“From the time we opened, we’ve treated 2,200 patients, which works out to five to six cases a day,” said Dr. Morrison. He recalled a person who fell out of a wheelchair, a person airlifted to the center from Niles Canyon, and many other injuries.

“This high volume of patients clearly speaks to the need our community has for trauma care,” Dr. Morrison explained. The team was prepared for an estimated 1,200 patients a year, but has managed the higher volume, which included both visitors and local residents.

The trauma team, highly skilled in treating life-threatening injuries, is well prepared for summer accidents, anticipating near-drownings, boating and bicycle crashes, and other outdoor mishaps.

Trauma is Preventable

A part of the center’s mission is to educate the community about trauma prevention, sponsoring presentations on water and bicycle safety, fall prevention, and other topics. “We want to educate the community about avoiding injury. Trauma is preventable and we want to prevent it,” Dr. Morrison said.

“We’re a highly trained hard-working team that’s actually trying to reduce the amount of business we have,” he said with a smile. Other community education events have included “Stop the Bleed,” “Choking Awareness,” and “Fall Prevention.”

Dr. Morrison is grateful for his team of four additional trauma surgeons and many specialists, and especially for the first responders who stabilize patients in ambulances.

Having a level II trauma center right in Fremont allows residents to be treated for life-threatening injuries without having to leave the area. Level II is a designation from the American College of Surgeons for hospitals that have trauma surgeons on-site 24/7/365; and prompt access to medical specialties like orthopedics, neurosurgery, and cardiology. The college rates centers from levels I to V. Level I centers can provide the most comprehensive care,

while level V stabilize, diagnose, and prepares patients for transfer to a higher-level trauma center. The Washington Health Trauma Center also accepts patients from community hospitals that can’t provide trauma care.

Transporting Patients by Helicopter

Having a helipad allows Washington Health to receive and treat patients from remote areas, such as the person injured in a Niles Canyon farming accident.

The helipad also allows the hospital to medevac patients who need a higher level of care, mostly children and burn victims, sending them to burn centers and USCF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Military, coast guard, and long-range helicopters can land at the helipad, further expanding Washington Health’s regional support to those injured.

In these cases, Dr. Morrison explained that Washington Health Trauma Center will stabilize a patient for transport, and communicate with the center accepting them.

“If you get injured in Southern Alameda County, you don’t have to worry about where to go. Always call 911 for an ambulance to transport you because EMS can start treatment, stop any bleeding, and alert us to your condition so

“This high volume of patients clearly speaks to the need our community has for trauma care.”

Chet Morrison, MD

we’re ready when you arrive. The earlier evaluation and treatment are started, the better the outcome,” he added.

Advancements in Lifesaving

The experts at the trauma center stay up to date on the latest advancements in trauma care, including a new technique to treat blood in the chest with a small flexible catheter versus an invasive chest tube, and new ways to care for rib fractures.

Trauma staff take ongoing continued education courses, share care best practices with other regional centers, and sponsor yearly training and conferences. The trauma center has provided more than 80 classes over the last year on awareness and care of traumatic injuries.

“It’s very gratifying to offer trauma care.” Dr. Morrison said. “We’re making a difference, and it’s rewarding to save lives.”

As summer starts, he shares one piece of advice for the community: “Be safe. Drive safely; don’t drink and drive. Be careful when doing outdoor activities, especially on the water. Wear a helmet when biking, and that includes E-bikes.”

Fremont Family Forever Grateful for Local Trauma Center

Skateboarding accident leads to traumatic brain injury

To know Daniel Olson is to like him. Always positive and friendly, he was a good student, football player, and varsity track and field athlete at Washington High School before graduating with his class of 2020. He then began attending Ohlone College while holding down a full-time job where he was a manager to a team of 32 people. But tragedy struck and Daniel’s life was derailed in an instant.

While riding his electric skateboard near his home in downtown Fremont, Daniel crashed and hit his head on the curb. He was rushed to Washington Health Trauma Center, which had just opened earlier that month. Daniel is now sharing his courageous story about suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how sheer perseverance has helped him defy the odds through a grueling rehab process. He also has an important message everyone needs to hear.

One Saturday last July, a local pastor witnessed Daniel’s accident. He saw Daniel riding his electric skateboard about 25 mph across the street. Though Daniel was an experienced rider, when the skateboard hit a painted area, it slipped out from under him and Daniel went down, hitting his head on the curb. Daniel was not wearing a helmet at the time. Seeing that he was unresponsive, the pastor called 911 and stayed with Daniel until the ambulance came.

Upon arrival at the Washington Health Emergency Department as a “Code Alpha” (the highest level of severity), a CT scan showed Daniel had a subdural hemorrhage, or a brain bleed that was increasing pressure on his brain. An intracranial pressure monitor showed the swelling was not being controlled by medications, so a craniotomy was performed. This entails removal of a portion of the skull to allow room for swelling. Daniel was in critical condition with a guarded prognosis in the early hours and days. Physicians could not tell Daniel’s family whether he would wake up from the coma, and if he did, what quality of life he might have due to potential loss of physical and cognitive abilities. Thankfully, around day 15, things took a turn in the right direction. The swelling in Daniel’s brain decreased, and a tracheostomy and feeding tube were put in place. He was transitioned off the ventilator and began following commands, which was a very good sign. Once stabilized, the trauma and critical care teams at Washington Health who had worked so closely with Daniel said their goodbyes as he was transferred to Kaiser Permanente, his family’s health care provider. Daniel spent the next four months in several

facilities, relearning basic skills and functions through intense physical, cognitive and occupational therapy.

On March 18, Daniel made a surprise appearance at a Washington Health trauma training session. Nurses who had worked with Daniel in the difficult days following his accident had joyful tears as they witnessed Daniel’s hard-earned, and ongoing recovery. Though still walking with a cane at the time, Daniel was full of life, laughing and sharing his gratitude for the lifesaving care he had received. Daniel has no memory of his 25 days at Washington Health, but the physicians, surgeons, nurses and support staff there will always remember him. Perhaps it was fate that the only trauma center in Southern Alameda County had just opened and was right around the corner from where Daniel’s accident occurred.

Daniel’s Message

At one point it was unknown whether Daniel would walk again, but he dedicated himself to returning to the lifestyle he had before the accident. Now, through sheer perseverance and grit, he’s back to work, walking without a cane, and he has even been walking more than five miles around his home!

Daniel’s story and endearing personality are inspiring, as is his message to others. “I never wore a helmet when riding my electric skateboard because my long hair would blow in the wind and I liked to have a perfect style that I thought the helmet ruined,” he shared. But after his traumatic experience, Daniel’s perspective on helmets has changed. He looks back on what he and his family have gone through and knows it could have been prevented. “It may take you 30 seconds to put on a helmet, but it could save you from losing months of your life. It may even save your life.”

Washington Health’s level II trauma center in Fremont provides 24/7 specialized, lifesaving care for critically injured patients. For more information, go to washingtonhealth.com/trauma or scan the QR code below.

Growing up with parks

By Stephanie Uchida

For this week’s issue I worked on a story about a subject dear to my heart: parks! I grew up in Fremont walking distance from Lake Elizabeth. This is a man-made lake and has been part of Fremont since 1969—so slightly older than me. It seemed like an immutable feature of the landscape, but even I remember changes: A golf course replaced the undeveloped field, still with a walking path allowing access from my neighborhood. For a while half the lake was drained to allow the BART tunnel to pass underneath. Many times when I was in high school I walked out to the lake to watch the sunset because

the area gave an unrestricted view looking west and a beautiful reflection on the water. I didn’t think about how lucky I was to have this option; the lake was just part of the way things were. Now I’m more aware that parks are a tribute not only to the natural landscape but to the human spirit. Without the forward-thinking Fremonters of the 1960s, Gomes Park might be the only bit of green between Mission Boulevard and Paseo Padre Parkway.

Now I live in San Jose, and when I was house hunting one thought dominated my mind: Must Have Park. Some people can’t imagine living without a backyard or a garden; I felt the same way about having an open space to walk to (preferably with water!). Luckily my husband was on board, since he grew up near Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy. Sure enough, we ended up with a place well within a 10-minute walk from a park. Still, I think San Jose can up its ParkScore. We’re at #41 among the most populous U.S. cities on Trust for Public Land’s rankings, three spots behind Fremont at #38. In San Jose, 71% of residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park. Newark and Union City

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

aren’t in the top 100 for population levels, but are still searchable on the site. In Newark 71% of residents live within that 10-minute / half-mile radius, and in Union City 92% of residents can say the same.

However, with a new park planned for the Mission San Jose district, Fremont is looking to jump ahead in the rankings for 2026. I want to tell San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan that South Bay is falling behind.

Let’s be proud of our parks, while emulating the forward-thinking Bay Areans who came before us by caring for and even improving the parks we have, while looking around and thinking about where a new park could be.

Help preserve Morrison Canyon Road

David Haubert, District 1 Supervisor is attempting to give away 1,000 feet of county/city road to a local resident. That resident has provided thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to District 1 over the years, and we question why giving away a public asset is in the public’s interest.

What’s Happening?

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors is considering giving away the final 1,000 feet of Morrison Canyon Road—a beloved public road and recreational trail through Vargas Plateau—to a private landowner. This could permanently block community access to a vital recreational resource.

A County of Alameda Planning Commission meeting was held June 16, and a vote was taken as to whether vacating a road conforms to the County’s General Plan. This was a yes/no vote with very limited

questions raised by the commissioners. The decision now passes to the County Supervisors where a public hearing will be held.

Why this matters

Morrison Canyon Road connects our community to Vargas Plateau, providing families, hikers and cyclists with safe access to open space and nature. Over 200 residents have signed a petition opposing this giveaway. Annual maintenance costs are only $35,000, a tiny fraction of the county’s $390 million Public Works budget. Such a tiny fraction that the staff report entirely ignores the county’s expenditures to maintain Morrison Canyon Road. Legal issues

State laws require clear evidence that giving up public roads serves the public interest through safety improvements, hazard elimination and or cost

reductions. The transfer may violate legal standards protecting public assets since Morrison Canyon Road poses no safety risks, presents no hazards and provides the community with an active walking/biking trail.

The County states in the staff report that over the last five years, no public funds were spent on road maintenance.

Growing Opposition

East Bay Regional Park District has stated they have taken no position. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has reached out to voice strong opposition to the road transfer, while hundreds of residents who regularly use this trail have made their voices heard through petitions.

Take Action Now

Despite claims that the road serves no public purpose, the overwhelming community response proves otherwise. Resi-

BLUE VEGETABLES ARE GOOD TOO!

Some edible plants come in an eye-catching blue color rarely seen in nature

By Daniel O'Donnell

The color blue is rare in nature except for waterways and the sky. There are a small number of decorative blue gems such as sapphires and aquamarine, and bluestone, a sandstone used for landscaping pavers. There are a modest number of plants such as hydrangeas and delphiniums that have blue flowers. A handful of plants which can be found in some tropical rainforests that have blue foliage. Quite tiny is the number of blue edible plants.

Anthocyanins are the pigments responsible for producing colors in plants. The colors blue and purple in plants are produced by a particular anthocyanin called delphinidin. Delphinidin can produce blue tones when in an alkaline environment or when interacting with certain co-pigment anthocyanins called flavones.

Pigments appear as the color of the light they reflect. Blue plants absorb red light wavelengths and reflect blue light wavelengths. Blue light has the most energy of all the light waves on the visible spectrum. This means that blue plants reflect rather than absorb the light which is best for growth, and is one of the reasons they are so rare.

Blue is a unique color in natural food so many gardeners are choosing to grow blue vegetables and many cooks are going out of their way to source these vegetables.

“Adirondack Blue” is a bluish-purple-skinned potato variety with blue flesh. It was released by Cornell University in 2003. The skin is often netted, a physical condition where the skin develops a rough net-like patterning. The unique blue hue more than makes up for the potato’s rustic appearance.

The “Blue Prince” pumpkin was released in 2020 by Seeds by Design. The light blue pumpkins range from seven to nine pounds and have a soft, velvety-textured deep orange flesh perfect for baking. The vine flowers and fruits early and has better disease resistance than many other pumpkins.

Blue milk mushroom, Lactarius indigo , is a mushroom with dark blue flesh which turns pale blue as it matures. It can be found growing in forests in North and Central America and East Asia. The mushroom discharges a blue milk-like liquid when cut. It can have a mildly earthy peppery flavor, or a slight umami-like flavor depending on its environment.

Blue Oyster mushrooms are another example of edible fungi with a brilliant blue hue when young which slowly turns paler as the mushrooms age. Raw mushrooms offer a slightly chewy texture with a hint of anise. They have a much more tender texture and slight licorice flavor when cooked.

Borage, also known as starflower, is a common Mediterranean herb grown in many gardens to attract pollinators. It is a companion plant to strawberries, spinach, brassicas, legumes and tomatoes. It produces multiple sky-blue star-shaped flowers that bloom throughout the summer. The vibrant blue flowers have a sweet cucumber-like taste and will make a dish stunningly attractive.

Hopi maize or Hopi blue corn is traditionally grown by the Hopi people in the Southwestern United States. It produces six- to eight-inch ears full of dark blue kernels. Hopi blue corn is primarily used to make a slightly sweet blue cornmeal but can be eaten as corn on the cob. The blue cornmeal is used in a variety of recipes including tortillas, cornbread, muffins and pancakes.

There are other blue vegetables and fruits as well. There’s blue cabbage, blue kale, blue squash, blue carrot, blue tomato and of course blueberries. Some of these blue plants are easier to find in grocery stores and foreign markets than others. Many may have to be grown at home from seeds which are available online from companies such as rareseeds.com and johnnyseeds.com.

Blue vegetables are just as or even more nutritious than other varieties with more common colors. Their uniquely vibrant color adds visual appeal to a dish. Unfortunately, the cooking process can turn the blue color purple or reddish. Delphinidin, the pigment responsible for a blue hue, is sensitive to pH. It produces a blue color in an alkaline environment, so maintaining a non-acidic setting while cooking will retain the blue color. This can be achieved by adding a pinch of baking soda to the water when boiling as a cooking method.

Delphinidin and other anthocyanins are sensitive to high temperatures. Overcooking and prolonged exposure to heat can degrade the blue color. Steaming and cooking in a microwave are good methods to preserve blue color because the food cooks quickly and there is minimal nutrient loss. Exposure to oxygen and light can degrade blue pigments, so storing foods in airtight containers and in a dark location can help retain the blue color prior to cooking.

Many diners in the 1950s and 60s offered a blue-plate special, which was a meal at a reduced price. Today, chefs and home cooks are adding naturally blue food to plates to make them special.

The Welcome Center is key to making services accessible to Fremont’s diverse community. EBAC has long provided multilingual family support services through its Fremont Healthy Start program, which began in 1992.

Funding for the first year of the agreement has already been set aside in the city’s FY 2025–26 adopted budget. The program will be paid for through the Family Resource Center Fund and has no impact on the city’s General Fund.

City staff noted that the action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, as it is considered an administrative action without the potential for environmental impact.

Fremont seeks input on new park

● Mission San Jose project will offer open space and recreation to neighborhoods

By Stephanie Uchida

Through July 13, locals can fill out a survey on what they’d like to see for the planned Palm Avenue Community Park, with construction ten-

tatively scheduled for spring 2026. The 12-acre site is off 680 Freeway, between Mission Boulevard and Paseo Padre Parkway, and offers a view of Mission Peak and the hills. Currently, the field is owned by the city and fenced off from surrounding neighborhoods for safety.

According to a post from community group Shape Our Fremont, originally a 19.8-acre parcel had been designated for parkland, after the city purchased it from the Souza estate in 1999. In 2013, the city sold off 7.6 acres— on the Mission Boulevard side—for a housing development.

The online park survey asks for age, area of residence and type of park / activities people are most interested in. For example, people can choose from sports and fitness, playgrounds, paved trails, or nature and walking trails.

The city held a community meeting on Tuesday, June 24, with about 50

attendees. They also solicited comments at the June 20 Street Eats and June 26 Central Park Concert. In a spot survey, people could look at proposed amenities and designs, and put a sticker by what they would most like to see, or leave a note if they have an idea that they don’t see represented.

Connie Chao from City of Fremont shared that based on feedback, the city will narrow down plans to three design options. The historic barn, owned by the city, may be included as part of the new community park. However, this depends on budget and how much money is required for restoration of the barn.

Learn more and take the survey on the City of Fremont website in the Parks Planning & Design department: fremont.gov/government/departments/ parks-planning-design.

● Car rear-ends security vehicle

Submitted by Fremont Police Department

Tuesday, June 3

A delivery driver was robbed at gunpoint while parked on Christy Street. Five subjects in a van parked behind the delivery driver’s truck and loaded two pallets of computer chips from the truck to the van. The loss was worth approximately $190,000. When the driver attempted to intervene, the subjects confronted him. One subject reached for his waistband. Believing the subject had a firearm, the driver retreated. The subjects fled in multiple vehicles before officers arrived. Later the same day, another law enforcement agency stopped the van and another associated vehicle. The five subjects were placed under arrest and the loss was recovered in full.

Thursday, June 12

Officers responded to a parking lot on Page Avenue regarding a subject attempting to hit other vehicles with his own vehicle. The subject pursued a private security vehicle, attempting to rear-end it at high speeds. The subject also repeatedly rammed an occupied parked vehicle before driving away. Later that day, another law enforcement agency located the subject in their jurisdiction and detained him. The subject was placed under arrest.

Sunday, June 15

Officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon at a residence on Penn Lane. The victim reported that her ex-boyfriend entered her bedroom, assaulted her, then stabbed her with a pocketknife. The subject continued to beat the victim until she lost consciousness. The victim regained consciousness and was transported for medical treatment. Officers located the subject nearby and placed him under arrest.

Friday, June 20

At approximately 6:42pm, Fremont Police Department officers responded to the 39000 block of Overacker Avenue to a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, officers located two shooting victims. One victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area trauma center. The second victim succumbed as a result of being shot.

ParkScore evaluates how well cities safeguard public land

— Continued from page 1

TPL’s ParkScore rates the 100 most populous U.S. cities on five criteria: Park Access (how many residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park), Equity (whether access extends across socioeconomic groups), Acreage (median park size and percentage of city land devoted to parks), Investment (spending per resident) and Amenities (sports fields, basketball courts, restrooms, community centers).

Spending doesn’t only mean city budget; volunteer hours and money raised by “friends of” groups also represent community investment. Rodriguez says the park report card sparks local pride and “[creates] a little healthy competition among cities.”

Environmental and spiritual benefits go without saying. Parks manage storm water and sea level rise, reduce greenhouse gas, cool down cities and neighborhoods, support public physical and mental health, and serve as gathering spaces for civic engagement. Rodriguez adds, “Parks and open spaces are an important solution to rebuilding the Bay Area’s economy, to strengthening the Bay Area economy.”

Like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, public land is more than a cute decoration on the sidelines: They work hard and bring in the big bucks. Imagine how much activity the Tri-City area would lose if its parks disappeared: the HERS Walk/Run/Yoga fundraiser at Quarry Lakes, Niles Canyon Railway’s historic route through the hills, Union City’s Culture Fest at Kennedy Park, Ardenwood Historic Farm, Central Park Concerts in Fremont and Groovin’ at the Grove in Newark.

Public land is an area where ordinary people can make a difference. For example, cities might not have the staff to notice when a sprinkler breaks down, or a section of the park needs a restroom or drinking fountain. But people notice in their day-to-day use. “It’s taking a moment to stop and recognize how we use our parks and open space, and then ask ourselves, ‘What can I do to make sure everyone in the region can benefit the way I’m benefiting?’” says Rodriguez.

A recent bid from Republican Senator Mike Lee to sell off public land as part of spending cuts met with bipartisan backlash, and was found in violation of cham-

ber rules as of June 24 (according to PBS). An amended version of the bill may do better (as reported by DeseretNews) at opening up land near urban areas for affordable housing, an issue very much on the minds of Bay Areans.

Rodriguez says of housing and open space, “To me it’s an ‘and’ question. It’s not an ‘or.’” Just as there’s a push to build dense urban housing near transit centers, city planners should also consider access to parks (current or future) as a vital amenity for residents. Certainly if people don’t live in a detached house with its own backyard, the option to walk or bike to a park is that much more important.

According to Rodriguez, the challenge for the future of public land is maintaining growth, managing deferred maintenance, and innovation. He asks, “[Are local, state and federal governments] keeping up with increased demand for parks and open space? Do we have enough janitors? Enough gardeners? Recreation specialists? Because the demand is high.”

National Parks and the businesses they support are seeing the con -

sequences from federal budget cuts, shown in a June 23 NPR story focused on Joshua Tree.

However, no matter the national story, local entities can still prioritize green space. Rodriguez says, “Cities and mayors need to ask themselves… How do I incorporate parks and open space in my city to be part of the drivers in how we rebuild, strengthen and diversify our economy?”

This summer, Fremont (#38 on ParkScore) is answering those questions by moving ahead with plans for Palm Avenue Park in the Mission San Jose District, asking for input from the community. A survey is up on the city website through July 13.

Rodriguez concluded by reflecting on the diversity of families who can be seen enjoying local parks. “I’ve been to Lake Merritt, and recall just walking around and the types of grilling that were going on—smells of different foods and cultures and ethnicities all coming together was just fabulous. That’s what parks do. They don’t judge, they’re great equalizers and a great place for people to come together.”

Acacia Creek 90s Society holds annual lunch

● Retirement community residents celebrate long life and good friends

By Monika Lee

Acacia Creek Retirement Community (ACRC) celebrates their 90s Society (for residents aged 90 or over) with an annual lunch. Dr. Carole Silva, age 92 and an ACRC resident for 11 years, organized this year’s event which took place on June 11 with over 20 guests.

Silva was a reading teacher for 44 years, eventually mentoring other teachers. “We have scientists, teach-

Silva’s advice for keeping your brain in shape is to keep learning new things. She is an avid reader and book author, she organizes and plays in the ACRC bell choir, and she writes poetry.

IFormer nuclear engineer, Jerry Gott, slipped into the lunch even though he is only 89—he said it was okay since he will be 90 in two months. Gott’s advice for

a long life is to stay active, and he came to ACRC because they have a big indoor swimming pool. He swam and did water aerobics to stay in shape before recently breaking his leg.

Gott said Silva taught him how to bartend, which they do together for the ACRC happy hours. On the topic of inflation, Gott said in high school he won a 50% scholarship to college, and he had to pay the rest—a whopping $50 per semester.

Talking about what sustains her, resident Audrey Coulter said, “Friends

are so important, and it’s important to laugh—it’s healing, and it keeps you going.”

There are plenty of opportunities for residents to make friends and socialize at ACRC. Silva said anyone can start a new club or activity group like she did with the hand bell choir.

Fremont teen heads to Latvia for summer program

● Cham Yu among 440 high school students at National Security Language Initiative for Youth scholarship

By Callie Yuan

One of 440 students selected from thousands of high school applications, Mission San Jose High School student Cham Yu is set to travel to Latvia this summer to study Russian as a part of the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) program.

Organized by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, NSLI-Y was launched in 2006 to promote young Americans learning critical language skills necessary for cross-cultural communication and leadership skills. A fully funded

scholarship, NSLI-Y offers seven different language programs with the goal of immersing participants in the host culture through home stays, activities and excursions.

Born in Hong Kong and speaking three different languages, Yu commented that he has always had an interest in international relations and hopes to work in National Security in the future.

“I had to move to [the U.S.] when I was 11, and I became very close to foreign relations and media,” Yu said. “My interest in something unfamiliar drove me to apply since I really enjoy learning languages.”

Yu has spoken at United Nations floor interventions and is currently working on a strip mall redevelopment bill for affordable housing as a part of Rebuild the Bay, which he founded with friends. The organization also engages with urban development research with NGOs in Kenya, India and Nigeria.

During the application process, Yu was interviewed by a program alumna who now works at the National Security

Agency. “It was a great experience for me to get to know someone who’s already in that track,” Yu said, “and see how the graduates of these programs get to be connected with different alumni of state department programs, which is crucial for career development.”

While in Latvia for six weeks, Yu will live with his host family, engage with local customs, undertake rigorous language instruction, and represent America as a citizen ambassador. Since Russian is an entirely new language he has never been exposed to, Yu has been practicing using program resources.

“Learning the acrylic script is very important for getting around Eastern Europe, and it’s just a very important life skill, which is why I wanted to choose Russian,” Yu said.

Despite initial anxieties regarding possible language barriers with his host family, Yu is excited to talk to people in a foreign language. “The fact that [the language] is so unfamiliar, and I’m doing it for the first time, makes me so excited

for the program,” Yu said. In addition to learning a new language, he hopes to immerse himself in a new culture to gain a wider cultural perspective he can take back to his friends and classmates. Yu expressed his worries over the impact of recent government budget cuts on the program, emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange and study abroad programs. “This type of intimate connection with foreign countries is not something you can get if you get rid of exchange programs, and it would be a shame to see exchange programs go away,” Yu said.

He encourages students interested in learning new languages, National Security, or study abroad programs to apply, advising people to keep an open mind. “You’re there to see what other cultures have to offer,” Yu said, “Daring to learn and experience different cultures is just what makes that trip even more worthwhile because you’re going out of your comfort zone to see new people and experience new cultures.”

Philippines humans rights coalition launches in Hayward

● Organization raises awareness of ongoing issues

By Hugo Vera

Dozens of community activists and local stakeholders convened at Fremont’s St. Paul United Methodist Church on Sunday, June 22, to commemorate the soft launch of a new organization devoted to social justice.

The event marked the opening of the Hayward chapter of the Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (CHRP), a grassroots organization designed to spread awareness and to educate people on human rights issues occurring in the

Philippines as well as their effects on the global community.

The event kicked off with a slideshow led by Hayward CHRP member Jamila Hayes which shed light on a series of issues affecting the Philippines. These include the use of martial law, targeting of political prisoners, destructive nickel mining on indigenous peoples’ land, and forced migration of Filipinos both in the Philippines and abroad.

“Now is an integral time to connect common struggles,” says Hayward CHRP leader J.P. Sanchez. “The U.S. government plays a huge role in the political and military unrest [in the Philippines]. It parallels issues like the Iraqi War, the Civil Rights Movement and the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.”

The presentation highlighted the polarizing administration of current Filipino President Ferdinand “BongBong”

Marcos, Jr. Much like his father, Ferdinand Marcos, Sr., he has faced criticism for his policies concerning the use of martial law, contributing to his country’s foreign debt and his persecution of political opponents.

Hayward CHRP cited a report from left-wing Filipino watchdog group Karapatan, which states that Marcos, Jr., has incarcerated more than 745 political prisoners as of March 2025.

“Why might the United States want to keep the Philippines indebted to them?” was a question that Hayes posed to attendees.

“To keep them subservient,” chimed in a participant.

Another key talking point of the event was the situation regarding Chinese-American San Francisco native Brandon Lee. While campaigning for the rights of indigenous Filipinos and

for environmental causes in 2019, Lee became a political target for then-Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Lee was shot four times by soldiers from the county’s 54th Infantry Battalion before being airlifted to safety.

Despite being left a quadriplegic from the attack, Lee has continued his advocacy in the United States while also demanding that American taxpayer dollars stop being used to fund the ongoing human rights abuses.

“His bravery to endure something like that and yet to still be able to continue is something I can’t fathom,” adds Hayes.

Despite Sunday’s event focusing on the Philippines, participants came from a variety of different cultural and racial backgrounds. For members such as Sanchez, this display of cross-cultural solidarity and intersectionality is a key component of what CHRP represents.

“You don’t have to be Filipino to care about human rights,” says Sanchez.

Fremont rower goes to Nationals

● Abinav Atreya and his team earn second place in Youth National Championship

By April Ramos

Fremont student Abinav Atreya’s afterschool activities are not so different from those of many other 15-year-olds. His day consists of school and sports. However, instead of being on a court or field, Abinav is in a boat a 30-minute drive away from Fremont.

Two years ago, Abinav tried rowing for the first time after his dad Mohan enrolled him in a summer camp program with the Redwood City-based Norcal Crew rowing team.

Mohan’s decision in choosing rowing came from the undeniable amount of teamwork that the sport demands. “In many other sports there is always one person who may be a little better, and then the entire limelight kind of goes on them,” says Mohan. “Kids of this age kind of lose interest in the sport if they are relegated to the bench or are behind the scenes.”

Along with the desire to find a sport with an unmatched need for teamwork, Mohan also wanted to ensure the ele-

ments of nature and physical activity were at the top of the list in the sport. So rowing was a great sport for Abinav to try.

After the first week of an introductory summer camp Abinav loved it and returned for a second week. After about a month Abinav decided to commit to rowing, recalling that the aspect of teamwork made him return. “Because you have more than one person in the boat, you physically need people that you have to be perfectly in tune with to be able to race properly. There aren’t any star players. It’s a bunch of different people who meld together to create something new.”

As Abinav concludes his second year of rowing, his record has been one of success. He—along with his five teammates who are all in the same boat, literally—went far this season. After some smaller regattas, or racing competitions, the team was able to gauge their potential. But the Southwest Regionals in Gold River, California, on the first weekend of May was the true test of where their team stood.

They claimed the bronze medal which qualified them for the USRowing Youth National Champions in Sarasota, Florida. “There was a lot to improve on. I think we all knew that. But the important thing was that we had qualified for Nationals,” said Abinav.

Over the next month the coaches worked to pinpoint where the team could shave off their time. A point of improvement was the team’s “power curve” or where force is applied in each stroke of the oar. When each rower matches where the most force is applied on the stroke, the boat moves more efficiently.

“The intensity of the workout was definitely something,” said Abinav’s mother Uthra Srinivasan. “They are out there in a parking lot by the containers, in a makeshift area. They would bring all the ergs [rowing machines] out and they’d be rowing there, come rain or wind. We were very surprised by that intensity.”

Once at Nationals on June 15, excitement and nerves were prevalent, but Abinav explains how his teammates had to control their adrenaline. “When you get nervous your body tenses up, your breathing quickens. But when you’re racing, you need to be able to think clearly.”

The team treated each practice as if it were their Nationals race and replicated the feeling of practice rather than looking at the race as a National Champion.

The Norcal Crew team managed to take a close second place only two seconds behind the first place boat, with a time of 6:49:91. Their time improved so much that they beat the teams they had previously lost to in the Southwest Regional only a month prior.

“It was nerve racking to say the least. But I think one of the best things we did was treating it like a normal practice,” said Abinav as he reflected on the Nationals race.

Even now that the spring season is over, Abinav is already back in the rowing world as he volunteers in the same summer camps where he discovered a love for the sport just two years ago.

Along with volunteering he has also started participating in summer camps of his own. Small Boats summer camp is for returning athletes where they practice in smaller, more unstable boats which helps rowers improve their technique. Abinav has also joined international camps where rowers from all over the world come together and practice.

Abinav plans to finish his high school career with rowing and continue in college. “A bunch of people on my team actually row for Team USA in the high school division, so I’d also like to be part of the legacy,” shares Abinav.

Abinav reflects on what he would say to those who are curious about the sport but have heard of the grueling nature of rowing. He still encourages them to follow their heart rather than what people say about it online. “The sport isn't a competition of who is the best at loving pain. The sport is a way to bond with people as a way to improve yourself and the people around you day by day.”

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

BY GEORGIA NICOLS www.georgianicols.com.

All Signs: Some things need repeating: Last week I wrote: “Mercury moves into dramatic Leo to stay for two months because it will be retrograde from July 18 to August 11. When Mercury is retrograde, I don’t buy anything that Mercury ‘rules:’ computers, cell phones, printers, cars, trucks and motorcycles. I also abide by the buffer dates when Mercury is slowing down – and later, ‘catching up.’ The buffer dates are July 4 - August 26.” As you can see, the buffer dates start this week! Personally, I am a Leo with Mercury in Leo, and I’m already making foolish mistakes.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20): Your focus is on home and family for the next year (maybe longer). This is because Jupiter is improving all your family relations. People will be more generous with each other. Plus, you’ll have opportunities to improve where you live or find a better home. Meanwhile, old flames are back on the scene. Some of you might deal with past issues with your kids. (Some parents will see kids they haven’t seen for a while.) Fortunately, you have energy to get things done because your ruler fiery Mars will help you work.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

You have a busy schedule with appointments, errands and time spent with relatives and siblings. It’s a fastpaced time! For the next year, Jupiter will encourage you to make ambitious, expansive plans. You’ll come to realize that many of your limitations were self-imposed. Along with this, your communications with others will be more positive and upbeat. Note: Stock the fridge because relatives will be on your doorstep this summer.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20): The Sun is traveling through your Money House, making you reflect on your values and possessions. How can you get greater control of your life through what you own? Meanwhile, lucky, moneybags Jupiter is sitting in this same Money House, bringing you opportunities to get richer! To be more precise, it will attract to you the things that you most value. As this Mercury retrograde begins, don’t think you’re losing it because of missed

appointments, lost items, transportation problems and confused communications. This is just a tough Mercury retrograde for you.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

You’re ready for action because both the Sun and Jupiter are in your sign; lucky Jupiter will stay for a year! Jupiter can be in your sign only once every 12 years, (only three or four times in your adult life). Not only will Jupiter bring you good fortune, it will boost your happiness and help you to be positive about whatever is happening. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is now taking place in your Money House, creating financial delays and errors. On the upside, financial plans that fell through before might now be resurrected.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

You might wonder if you’re losing it because mixed-up communications, misplaced items and silly errors make you look foolish. This is because Mercury is slowing down and it’s in YOUR sign. You will feel this influence until August 11. Some of you will feel it until the end of August. Fortunately, these mistakes are minor. At a more subtle level, this year, you’ll come to a deeper realization about certain values—like putting the interests of someone else before your own. This is very real, but so easy to forget. Meanwhile, be prudent with money.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

You’re pumped with fiery Mars in your sign until August 5. You’re more active, and Mars will help you further your own interests. Not only will Mars make you vigorous, it helps you to create a positive impression on others except those who think you’re too bossy or overbearing. (That’s because Mars will make you more of a fighter for your own rights and the rights of others). This energy will also help you in physical sports, especially competitions, which is timely because you will be more popular for the entire year ahead.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

This week and month are a positive time for you. So is the next year. Why? Because lucky Jupiter is sitting at the top of your chart (which can happen only once every 12 years); and when this occurs, it means it’s a time of promotion, public recognition, awards and kudos! People will admire you, and see you as successful. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is attracting friends from the past back into your world. You will meet these people in person, online or in your dreams.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

You’re restless! You want to travel or do something to expand your horizons.

Because parents and authority figures from your past are back in your world, someone might help you do this. Actually, lucky Jupiter will bring you many opportunities to travel in the next year. It will also bring opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Meanwhile, this week the Moon will be in your sign on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which gives you a lucky edge over all the other signs. You can use this to your advantage.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

You feel ambitious now. (Be careful about conflicts with authority figures who might feel threatened by you.) However, despite your hard work, travel plans might be stymied, along with issues in publishing, medicine or the law. Mercury retrograde will create delays to travel plans, medical and legal issues, higher education, the media and publishing. Relax. The next 12 months are a wonderful time for you in financial terms because doors will open. It will be easy to get a loan or a mortgage.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Remember to get more sleep and take naps if you can because now and for the next few weeks, your energy is flagging. (It’s temporary but you can’t ignore it.) Meanwhile, Mercury is starting to slow down in one of your Money Houses, where it will be retrograde until August. The good news is it will allow you to quickly finish paperwork related to taxes, debt and shared property. The bad news is it will create delays and errors in these same areas. Funds might be late.

Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18):

This week Mercury is slowing down before it goes retrograde from July 18 to August 11. Avoid shopping in that window for technology and transportation; wait until September. In the meantime, many of you are already hearing from ex-partners and close friends from your past. For some of you, this could be an opportunity for closure or clarification. For others, get out your camouflage gear or hide at home.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):

There’s bad news and there’s good news. The bad news is that Mercury is already slowing down before it goes retrograde on Friday, and this will impact your job, possibly your health, and your pet. Frustrating issues will arise where you’re late, misinformed, or you have the wrong documents. However, let us not forget that Mercury retrograde will help you finish old projects. But the really good news is that the next 12 months will bring you abundant opportunities for creative self-expression. Romance will blossom. Opportunities for socializing and vacations will be thrilling.

Lions Club brings sight and smiles to Apizaco

● Mexico eye clinic helps underserved communities

Submitted by James Varghese

The Lions Club of Hayward, in conjunction with Lions in Sight, recently concluded a two-day eye care mission in Apizaco, Mexico. A team of five optometrists and nine technicians from the U.S. and a few local optometrists provided free eye exams and complimentary glasses to approximately 1,000 underserved individuals in the region.

The mission was officially inaugurated by Apizaco Municipal President Javier Rivera Bonillar, who was joined by several other city officials. The Apizoca Lions Club played an instrumental role as gracious hosts, ensuring seamless coordination that allowed the visiting Lions team to serve such a significant number of people.

Dr. Marc McClain led the optometry team, supported by Lions in Sight leaders. Among them were Lions International Past District Governor James Varghese, Treasurer of Lions in Sight California and Nevada Khush Bodhan, as well as dedicated Lions Gopakumar, Viji Gopan, Rohan Kumar and Dominic Carrion.

Dr. Susan Kim Lauback from Dublin, one of the volunteering optometrists, shared, "Serving many people with eye exams and glasses was a great opportunity, and this was one of the best clinics I have ever volunteered at."

Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce

calls for new members

● New leadership needed for community organization

Submitted by Zubair Hakimi, President, MSJCC

For decades, Mission San Jose Chamber of Commerce has proudly served as a pillar of the Mission San Jose District—hosting cherished annual events like the Olive Festival, the Christmas Tree Lighting, and, more recently, the Arts Mosaic.

They have worked tirelessly to support local culture, community connection and small businesses—especially during times of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, when they helped distribute grants to struggling businesses.

Now they are urgently seeking new board members and a president to carry the mission forward. Without new leadership stepping up in coming weeks, they face the very real possibility of having to suspend operations indefinitely. This would mean more than just the loss of an organization—it would mean the end of community traditions that bring joy to thousands of families each year.

The chamber is more than the events. They are a resource and partner for local businesses, a supporter of community resilience, and a connector for residents of all ages and backgrounds. They are looking for individuals who are passionate about making a difference—whether experienced in nonprofit leadership, eager to build community or simply have time and energy to give.

Board members have the opportunity to shape the future of local traditions and ensure the chamber’s mission continues to thrive for generations to come. The president will lead this passionate team, help guide strategy, and be a visible advocate for our work throughout the region.

LIFE CORNERSTONES

HELEN ANNETTE (née Peterson) SILVA

April 2, 1939 – June 25, 2025

Itis with sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, Helen Silva. Helen passed away on June 25, 2025, in Walnut Creek, California. She was 86 years old.

Helen is the daughter of the late Louis “Pete” Elmore Peterson and Josephine Johanna-Marie Peterson (née Jensen). In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her eldest son, Mark William.

Helen is survived by her children: Sherry Gubera (Rich), Steven Silva (June) and Scott Silva. Helen was the beloved grandma to Stefanie Gubera (Krystal), Travis Silva (Alyson), Tyler Silva (Kaiti), Matthew Gubera, Andrew Gubera, Tanner Silva (Taylor) and Kameryn Gubera. She was also blessed with seven great grandchildren and many cousins and nephews.

Born on April 2, 1939, in Vermillion, South Dakota, Helen moved to the Bay Area in 1943. Later, Helen’s family moved to Fremont (Centerville), California in 1951. It was at Centerville Grade School in the 7th Grade that she met Bill Silva and they began their 76-year friendship and later, marriage on January 31, 1960 at Holy Spirit Church in Fremont.

Helen and Bill were married for 65 years and spent time travelling to Hawaii, Portugal and Norway. They took many cruises to places like St. Petersburg, Russia and Alaska and took their RV on many trips in the U.S. They had friends from their Square Dance Club, RV Club, Daughters of Norway and kept in touch with their high school classmates from Washington Union High School where Helen graduated in 1957.

Helen was a talented seamstress and often was the designer for the Square Dance Club’s annual costume. Bill recruited her to design all the decorations for each of their high school reunions. Helen loved painting. She was a gifted watercolor, oil and rosemaling artist (Scandinavian folk painting).

Helen was strong in her faith and she and Bill were parishioners of Holy Spirit Church for 32 years and St. Michael Church in Livermore for 26 years.

Helen will be deeply missed, but it is with great sense of comfort knowing that she is with our Heavenly Father and in the company of many family members.

The Silva family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful community at Byron Park, Walnut Creek, who made our mother feel like family and the gracious caregivers of Twenty First Care Services who provided compassionate care over the short final few months of our mother’s life.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 7, 2025. Viewing at 10:00AM. Rosary at 10:30AM and Funeral Mass at 11:00AM at St. Isidore Church, 440 La Gonda Way, Danville, California 94526. Reception to follow.

MURRAY “MAC” FERNANDEZ

December 7, 1951 – May 21, 2025

The amazing human being and comic-book like hero Murray “Mac” Fernandez, an Oakland native and long-time resident of Hayward, California, passed away peacefully after a hard-fought struggle with pancreatic cancer on May 21, 2025 at the age of 73. Known for his unwavering dedication to family and service to others, Mac leaves behind a legacy of generosity, education, laughter, and lively storytelling.

Born in Oakland in 1951 to Larry Fernandez and Bonnie McMurray, Mac graduated from Skyline High School and ran the family’s small business in Oakland’s Laurel District for decades. He worked as an automotive instructor at Chabot College and fleet trainer at Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). He earned his Associate degree from Chabot.

To those who knew him, Mac was a generous person you could count on—he was known as “a guy who could fix anything.” He had a knack for storytelling, maintaining his pool and yard, and hosting great 4th of July parties. He also enjoyed reading science fiction, anime, camping, and traveling.

Mac mentored hundreds of Boy Scouts over the years, serving as a Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster, earning the Silver Beaver Award for his work.

But above all, Mac was devoted to his family. Predeceased by his brother Rocky, he is survived by Shirley Fernandez, his loving wife of 51 years, who he met on a blind date, raised a family with, and traveled the world with; his children Roxanne Fernandez and Ryan “Rocky” Fernandez (and Luisa Martinez); his grandson Mateo and bonus granddaughter Katelyn Sturm; his sisters Darlene Alcantar of Nevada City and Beverly Garcia of Salida; as well as many friends who were practically family.

Mac’s family will plan a Celebration of Life at a future date. He was laid to rest at the Chapel of the Chimes in Hayward. The family asks that donations be made in his memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Mac Fernandez will be deeply missed, but will always be remembered.

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.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3629 STEVENSON BOULEVARD 107, FREMONT, CA 94538 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $376,836.65 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting.com or call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number
