Union cuts deal, but class sizes remain an issue here

● Mediated agreement secures raises and healthcare contribution for educators

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

After more than 18 months of negotiations and a recent strike authorization vote, the Fremont Unified District Teachers Association (FUDTA) has reached a tentative agreement with Fremont Unified School District, union leaders announced on Wednesday, April 30.

The deal comes after a prolonged stalemate in which district negotiators reportedly declined several invitations to return to the bargaining table, even after the impasse process had concluded. It wasn’t until the Alameda County Superintendent stepped in to mediate that both parties reconvened. However, union representatives say the district still refused to engage on one of the most pressing issues for teachers: class size caps.

Local dentist and leader

● Herb Chiu celebrates cultural diversity and upholds community engagement in Fremont — More on page 10

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

For nearly four decades, Herbert Chiu has been a familiar face in Fremont— both as a trusted dentist and an engaged community leader. Born in Shanghai and raised in Hong Kong, Chiu came to the U.S. to pursue higher education, earning a pharmacy

degree from Oregon State before attending the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. He moved to Fremont in 1979 and opened his practice in 1986.

“I grew up in a medical family—my grandfather was a dermatologist, my father a physician and my daughter a veterinarian,” Chiu said.

Chiu said dentistry appealed to him because it allows him to build personal connections with patients. He enjoys helping people improve their smiles and confidence.

Chiu operates two dental offices with a team of 14 to 15 staff members. He acknowledges the challenges of maintaining a cohesive team amid rising Bay Area rents, which have priced out many qualified workers. Still, he balances

Men: Take Charge of Your Health

Fremont Urologist Urges Men to Focus on Prevention

Father’s Day is almost here and what do dads everywhere need? Good health!

Dr. Mark Hsu wants fathers and all men to know they need to be more proactive about their health. As a urologist with Washington Health Medical Group, Dr. Hsu treats a variety of health problems that men face, including prostate and urination issues, kidney stones, and erectile dysfunction.

“The biggest issue for men is that we tend to be reactive when we seek medical care,” he says. “We wait until something doesn’t feel right. But it’s important to be proactive. Get your health screenings and stay focused on prevention.”

June is National Men’s Health Awareness month, a great time to focus on men’s health. The annual observance is held every June to raise awareness about the need for men to get regular health screenings to prevent serious health complications.

“I strongly encourage men to think more holistically about their health,” Dr. Hsu cautions. “I don’t believe that most men think about ‘overall wellness’ when they think of their health.”

Part of staying healthy is keeping your numbers in check. High blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels increase the risk for a number of health issues like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. According to Dr. Hsu, these issues can often affect a person’s urinary and sexual health. He believes men should consider getting an annual exam

that includes preventive screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI) and an AIC test to measure blood sugar.

“Lifestyle choices like exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a nutritious diet can help keep these numbers down,” he adds.

Prostate Health

The prostate is a gland that helps make semen. One in two men between the ages of 51 and 60 have an enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and that number jumps to 80% of men over 70 years of age. Symptoms of BPH, such as difficulty urinating, often have a negative impact on a man’s life. If left untreated, BPH can lead to serious health concerns like urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, and bladder and kidney stones.

Dr. Hsu recommends consulting with a urologist if a man experiences any of these symptoms. He notes that there are medications that can be offered, and there are increasingly more minimally invasive procedures that can be performed to help with symptoms. For example, Aquablation therapy is a robotic procedure that uses high-pressure water to remove prostate tissue. It is performed in a hospital under anesthesia and typically takes one hour, followed by an overnight stay for monitoring. Numerous clinical studies have found men who had

Aquablation therapy have a very low rate of irreversible complications such as incontinence, or erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction. Rezum is another example of a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in-office, with steam-based treatments that can help with urination and can be an appealing option for men who are physically and sexually active. Dr. Hsu also recommends cancer screenings and stresses that, “Screenings are critical when it comes to prevention.”

Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the U.S. and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men, according to the National Cancer Institute.

A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood test used to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures the amount of PSA in the blood. When to get a PSA test and how often to repeat the test may depend on risk factors for prostate cancer and whether a patient has had other prostate issues. With early detection of prostate cancer, there are a variety of options available including robotic surgery, radiation, and focal treatments.

A colonoscopy is another tool for preventing cancer. It screens for colorectal cancer, the third leading cause of cancer deaths among men. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends getting a colonoscopy starting at age 45.

“I encourage men to be proactive rather than reactive about their health.”

Mark Hsu, MD

Testicular cancer is a rarer type of cancer, but men should still do periodic self-exams for early detection. Dr. Hsu suggests men get into the habit of checking the testicles for any irregularities while in the shower and to notify a primary care physician if any abnormalities are detected.

Don’t Forget Mental Health

“I think mental health is also an underestimated and underreported issue,” Dr. Hsu notes. “We have been seeing a lot more anxiety and depression. It’s important for men to think about their mental health and not be afraid or embarrassed to seek help.”

Dr. Hsu encourages men to have a physical and mental outlet. Exercise, sports activities, and introspective activities such as meditation are not only good for your body, but can also help with mental health. Having a social network of family and friends is additionally very beneficial.

“I encourage men to be proactive rather than reactive about their health,” Dr. Hsu stresses. “Have a relationship with a regular health care provider who can follow you over time. They can help you get the appropriate screenings and refer you to the right resources needed.”

Washington Health Behavioral Health Symposium and Community Health Fair

focus on mental health and well-being for all ages

In 2022, Washington Health (WH) began gathering community feedback to prioritize local health needs as part of the Community Health Needs Assessment required under the Affordable Care Act. As they had for the prior 12 years, WH interviewed local health and community experts and met with community leaders and residents to provide insight into the health of the community, prioritize local health needs and identify areas for improvement.

Behavioral health was the top priority, with lack of access to behavioral health services and facilities, pandemic isolation, and alcohol and drug use cited as main areas of concern. Housing, homelessness and economic insecurity were also factors leading to mental health challenges.

To address this important issue, WH will host two days of education and information focused on behavioral health. The symposium is a day of learning and networking for behavioral health professionals.

On Saturday, June 7, a Community Behavioral Health Fair will take place at the Washington West building in the Conrad E. Anderson, MD, Auditorium. This health fair is a free community event focused on mental health and well-being for all ages.

Kayla Gupta, MPH, WH Community Outreach manager, explained the goal of both sessions is to provide knowledge about existing community behavioral health resources and to connect professionals and community members with them.

“Behavioral health is a huge concern and it’s something people are sometimes

will be introduced by Washington Health Medical Group (WHMG) psychiatrist and Rcoz board member Seema Sehgal, MD.

hesitant to talk about,” Gupta said. “There’s a lot of stigma associated with behavioral health, especially for some of our older populations. We are offering this two-day event to address the needs of our professionals in the community and our folks that are working in our nonprofit and direct care services that are experiencing burnout as well as connect our community members with the behavioral health resources available. Creating an environment where people can make those connections, network, and familiarize themselves with those services is a huge benefit for everyone.”

Professional Symposium

The Friday, June 6, symposium for health care professionals is designed to support resilience, connection and professional growth. The symposium kicks off with a keynote address from Karyn Tribble, PsyD, LCSW, director of Alameda County Behavioral Health Services (ACBH) who will give an overview of behavioral health at the county level, touching on what Alameda County is currently focusing on in the mental health realm and update participants on any changes on the horizon.

Next, WH partner agency Rcoz (Our Cause) will present a short video on South Asians and mental health. Rcoz works specifically around behavioral health with the South Asian community to break down the stigma around mental health, what it means to need extra support and seek therapy. The video, titled South Asians and Mental Health: Work, Family, Silence, and Healing,

The symposium will conclude with a two-hour resiliency workshop led by Janet Childs, PhD, Director of Education and Critical Incident Stress Response, Centre for Living with Dying program at Bill Wilson Center in Santa Clara. Her presentation, “Unpacking the Backpack: Healing the Loose Ends of Loss and Change,” will provide strategies and tools for behavioral health professionals to build resilience, manage grief and prevent burnout while sustaining meaningful work.

“I’m very excited about Dr. Child’s presentation,” Gupta said. “Health care providers encounter trauma, grief and burnout in their work as caregivers and frequently don’t take time to care for themselves. We want to give them the tools they can put in their tool belt so they can sustain the meaningful work that they’re doing out in the community. We want to help support them and help them learn how to process the kinds of things that they encounter day to day.”

Community Health Fair

On Saturday, June 7, the free Community Behavioral Health Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It features a Resource Fair for behavioral health challenges, substance use, wellness services, and other topics. Educational seminars presented by local partner agencies will take place every half hour.

“We’ll be touching on things like intimate partner violence, bullying, opioid safety, mental health stigma in the South Asian community, self-care, suicide prevention and dealing with the

emotions associated with pregnancy and postpartum,” Gupta explained. “We’re trying to hit all ages, all stages of life, with really good topics that can benefit everyone.”

In addition to the educational sessions, a number of area resources will have booths to provide information on available community resources. These include ACBH, Rcoz, Bay Area Community Health, BrightLife Kids, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health), National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse, Fremont Family Resource Center, Union City Crisis Support Services and Youth and Family Services. The WH WOOF Pet Therapy team and WHMG providers will also be on hand to talk about services Washington Health provides.

“We asked and heard that behavioral health is a significant challenge for our community. We responded, therefore, to find the best way to address that in an event,” Gupta said. “I think we have found a meaningful way to start talking about it, bringing people together and working towards solutions to this very challenging social issue for our community.”

While Friday’s event is a day of learning and networking for behavioral health professionals, everyone is invited to attend Saturday’s Community Health Fair. For more information, visit WashingtonHealth.com/events.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, it’s important to seek support and resources. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988) and SAMHSA’s National Helpline (800.662.4357) are excellent starting points for immediate help and referrals.

Moving forward

By Stephanie Uchida

We’re in graduation season, so around the East Bay Area, students from preschool all the way up to grad school are completing one chapter in their lives and looking to the next. But it’s not only the students who are moving on. On May 29, beloved principal Linda Anderson celebrated her retirement after 32 years with the Fremont Unified School District.

Students, teachers and Anderson’s own kids and grandkids gathered on the lawn at Oliveira Elementary School. Anderson gave a heartfelt speech to her students, titled “Moving Forward,” emphasizing their agency and the power of choice.

“Life is a journey,” Anderson said, “and each year, you are moving forward to a new chapter. It’s your story to write—no one else’s. And one of the most powerful tools you have in writing that story is your ability to choose…What will carry you forward is your character, your

resilience, your courage, and your kindness.”

Following the speech, there was a dove release, where a handful of birds soared into the air and circled the school before winging off to a destination unknown. A determined seagull also decided it wanted some attention.

My husband works in education, so for me it’s inspiring to see teachers valued as guides and mentors, not looked on as the enemy by students and parents alike, perversely withholding the Magic Letter Grade that will grant a floundering student their deserved symbol of validation.

School can be about learning and growing, or it can be a tedious set of boxes to check before you’re allowed to move to the next set of boxes, according to the correct timeline for your age group.

When we leave school, graduations don’t happen on a predetermined schedule. This frees us from (some of) the pressure to compare our life milestones to those of the people around us.

However, for some, freedom can also be a terrible burden. To know where you really want to go, you have to look inside and see who you really are. That’s scary—if you haven’t developed Anderson’s virtues of

character, resilience, courage and kindness.

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone (or something) was always in your pocket to give you an easy answer—nevermind what answer—and a pat on the head? Many would rather sleepwalk through life, terrified of making the smallest choice, holding the most insignificant opinion, being vulnerable with others in the most trivial matters.

Educators like Anderson offer a different path.

The real work confronts us after graduation. But if we’re smart, we start much sooner.

Union City renews commitment to sustainability

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

The Union City Council unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday to establish a Climate Action Plan (CAP) Task Force, signaling the city's renewed commitment to sustainability and climate resilience.

The seven-member advisory group will play a key role in shaping the city’s updated Climate Action Plan, which hasn’t

been revised since its original adoption in 2010. That earlier plan included a similar task force that brought together stakeholders from across the city to provide guidance on climate mitigation efforts. The newly-approved task force will include two city council members, one representative each from the planning, human relations, and parks and recreation commissions, and two com

munity members. City officials said this structure is designed to ensure both compliance with open meeting laws and a broad representation of perspectives.

"This task force will help us think critically and inclusively about how Union City can meet its climate goals in ways that reflect our community’s values,” said city manager Joan Malloy in the staff report.

The move follows a May 13 council meeting where staff first recommended forming an ad hoc committee. However, legal concerns about Brown Act compliance prompted a

restructuring of the group as a formal task force instead.

Community members interested in joining the task force will be able to apply through the city’s outreach channels. Final appointments will be made by the mayor with council approval.

There is no fiscal impact to the city’s general fund for forming the task force, according to the report prepared by senior planner Mayank Patel.

The Climate Action Plan Update is listed as a priority under the city’s Strategic Plan Goal D, Strategy 8, which calls for aligning local sustainability efforts with regional goals.

POTHOS MAKE PERFECT INTERIOR PLANTS

These potted vines shine in any room

By Daniel O'Donnell

Summer is rapidly approaching and so is the deadline for adding new plants to the garden. While planting can be done during summer, the timing isn’t ideal. High temperatures, prolonged sunlight, and drier soil and air make it harder for new plants to survive.

Summer, however, is a great time to get new houseplants. Brighter indoor light and warmer temperatures suit many indoor plants, which were most likely propagated in greenhouses. Pothos is one such plant.

Pothos is a popular houseplant and interior commercial-space plant that is native to tropical regions of the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. Epipremnum is the species of Pothos that is most commonly grown as an interior plant. It has heart-shaped leaves and vining growth.

There are numerous types within this species. They have differences in variegation, patterning and leaf colors. Many pothos types form a small compact bush at their base of only a foot or so, but will vary in vine length from a couple of feet long to over 20 feet long.

Pothos plants rarely flower indoors, so their popularity comes from different varieties and cultivars with foliage colors that include white, chartreuse, yellow and multiple shades of green. They are also chosen for their leaf patterns which include splotching and streaking of different colors as well as fenestrations, which are natural irregularly-shaped holes in the leaves.

Pothos are also favored for their luscious vines which can climb up a support or gently cascade from a hanging pot. Although native to a tropical climate, pothos have an ideal temperature range of 60-85°F but can tolerate temperatures below 50°F for brief periods. They grow best in indirect medium to bright sunlight areas. They will grow in low-

light areas, keeping a compact shape, but the vines will be lanky.

Pothos with a high percentage of non-green foliage will need bright light because of their reduced chlorophyll levels. Pothos grow well in slightly moist soil, but can survive for short periods of time if the soil dries out. They only need to be fertilized once or twice a year.

All parts of a pothos are poisonous when consumed by humans and domestic animals. However, their toxicity is not typically fatal and simply touching them is fine. A more positive trait is that pothos are one of the most effective indoor air-purifying plants.

Pothos also are easy to propagate by simply placing cut vines into moist soil in a warm location. Most stems will develop roots within a month. If a pothos is overwatered it has a natural process called gattation, where it can release excess water in tiny droplets from leaf tip structures called hydathodes.

Pothos are oftentimes mislabeled or confused with similar looking plants such as Philodendron or Scindapsus. Although they all belong to the aroid family, Araceae, they each belong to a different genus which means they have key botanical differences.

Philodendron leaves generally have a thinner and softer texture, while pothos leaves are thicker and waxier. Philodendrons tend to grow faster and taller than pothos. Scindapsus may have thicker leaves. The real difference is in the color of the foliage splotches. If the variegation or splotch is silver, then the plant is most likely a Scindapsus, not a pothos, even though the rest of the plant is almost identical to a pothos.

“Golden Queen” pothos is probably the most commonly seen in homes and commercial spaces. It has green heart-shaped leaves with golden-yellow variegation. “Golden Queen” is often

called Devil’s Ivy because of its ability to thrive in challenging conditions and is a great plant for anyone who wants to grow interior plants successfully.

“Marble Queen” pothos is another popular variety which is easy to grow as well. It has eye-catching green and white marbled foliage.

Other pothos varieties can be found in local nurseries and interior plant stores. “Neon” pothos has bright neon yellow-green foliage, and “Cebu Blue” has elongated leaves, much longer than other pothos varieties, that are a dark greenish-blue color and fenestrate as the plant matures. “Jade” pothos has glossy

dark green leaves and is one of the fastest growing.

There is one more pothos worth mentioning: Pothos, the Greek God of longing, yearning and desire. The plant was named after him because he was said to carry a vine. It is so easy to be successful growing these plants that they may fulfill the longing, yearning and desire to have a green thumb.

GOT EXTRA MILK?

California nonprofits make human milk donation easier

By Connie Cheung

After Yvette Ocegueda of Newark gave birth to her second child, she was producing more milk than her baby needed. “I don’t want to throw it away. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it,” Ocegueda recalled thinking at the time. Soon, she discovered Mothers’ Milk Bank California (MMBC), the longest continually operating milk bank in the country, according to the organization’s website.

Human milk donations are especially critical for premature or extremely low birth weight babies. With fragile digestive systems, these newborns can be at higher risk of suffering from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which results in the death of intestinal tissues and “has a mortality rate as high as 50%,” according to the University of California. Premature infants who receive donor milk develop NEC at lower rates than those who are exclusively fed formula.

Even for healthy babies, human milk is now considered nutritionally optimal by medical professionals. The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) cites “short- and long-term medical and neurodevelopmental advantages of breastfeeding” and recommends “exclusive breastfeeding for approximately six months after birth.”

Donor milk can help many infants whose mothers can’t produce milk. A video testimonial from MMBC recounts the journey of a woman whose baby was delivered with the help of a gestational surrogate. Wishing to confer some of the benefits of breastfeeding for her newborn, she searched for donated milk. “I just submitted a request online, and a perfectly-packaged, frozen container just showed up at my door,” she said.

For some families, the price of donated human milk can be prohibitive. The University of California Health Milk Bank, based in San Diego, charges $4.80 per ounce for donor milk “to off-

set the costs of shipping and processing.” The MMBC does not publicize prices, but also notes that the organization needs to break even on the costs of collecting, storing, processing and shipping the milk.

Last year, Governor Newsom signed a bill into law that would “establish parity for coverage of medically necessary donor milk” under Medi-Cal and allow hospitals to more easily distribute donor milk to patients. The bill, AB 3059, was heralded as a way to expand access to traditionally underserved communities that suffer higher infant mortality rates.

Milk donation is also growing more accessible for donors. “The whole process was so easy, it’s the best,” Ocegueda said. After filling out an online form, Ocegueda called a number at MMBC to provide her medical history and schedule a blood test to check for any health conditions. Now she can email or call the nonprofit any time to receive a cooler and arrange a carrier to pick up her extra milk. The charity then pasteurises, tests and re-packages the milk for delivery to hospitals or other babies.

Human milk donations are especially critical for premature or extremely low birth weight babies

In some ways, milk donation is a wonderful way to make a connection with a family who might be in a very different situation from one’s own. “I think the biggest thing is for moms not to compare themselves to anyone else,” Ocegueda said. “If you’re able to help, you’re helping out a lot of babies who are in the NICU, who need the breast milk and the antibodies in the milk.”

IN THE BANK Human breast milk is nutritionally optimal for babies; milk banks help more families access this option.

MILK SCIENCE After donors provide medical history and do a blood test, donor milk is pasteurized, tested and packaged to make it safe for the recipient baby.

Teachers Association reaches a tentative agreement

— Continued from page 1

“I am proud of our members. We stood strong, rallying and standing strong together for each other and for our community,” said FUDTA president Vicky Chon in a press release. “We did have some wins, but at the end of the day, the class size issues our members are passionate about were not issues the district wanted to discuss.”

The new agreement includes a district contribution of $1,000 per year toward teacher healthcare premiums—a first for Fremont educators, who previously received no such support. It also includes a 5% salary increase spread over the next two years.

‘We [stood strong] together for each other and for our community.’

—FUDTA president Vicky Chon

Still, union leaders voiced frustration that their calls for smaller class sizes were left unaddressed, particularly given concerns about overcrowded classrooms and students’ lack of individual attention.

“Our members are disappointed that we were not able to win the class size caps we know our students need, and that create the learning environments our community has come to expect here in Fremont,” said Cara Coleman, the union’s organizing chair. “We are committed to the long game here. If our board and superintendent is showing us that they aren’t even able to discuss the class caps we need, we have some work to do here in terms of leadership in the district.”

The agreement came just days after teachers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. With the settlement now in place, educators say they remain committed to pushing for more accountable leadership and improved conditions in Fremont schools.

Newark charts growth at State of the City

●

Mayor Hannon reports strong finances and new

civic developments

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

On May 23, Newark residents gathered with city officials for the 2025 State of the City Address, an event that blended civic updates with community celebration. The evening featured food trucks, live entertainment and a speech by Mayor Michael Hannon highlighting Newark’s accomplishments and vision for the future.

“I’m incredibly proud to witness the continued growth and success of our city,” Hannon said in his opening remarks.

The mayor reported a strong financial outlook, noting that Newark ended last fiscal year with a $1.75 million surplus and is projecting another for this year. While many cities are struggling with deficits, Newark maintains an AA+ credit rating, which Hannon credited to the city’s conservative financial management.

He also announced that the city’s new civic center was completed under budget, freeing up funds to replace two aging fire stations on Cherry Street and Ruschin Drive. Additional funds may go toward building a cultural arts facility to replace the existing community

center, with community input to guide future projects.

Housing remains a key priority. Several developments are underway, including the Timber Senior Affordable Housing project, set to open later this year, and FMC Willow and Grand Park, a large mixed-use development featuring 279 townhomes, 90 affordable units, retail space and a planned commuter rail station. Other projects in progress include Lepashki Homes, Thornton Avenue Apartments, Marabel, Cedar

Townhomes and a 97-bed assisted living facility.

Hannon also highlighted the city’s first-ever resource center, which will help connect residents with social services. Located in the former Head Start building, the $2 million center is funded by a combination of federal, state and local sources. In his closing remarks, Mayor Hannon reflected on his motivation for serving the city.

“Newark is a diverse community, and we want to ensure all feel welcome,” he said.

Fremont Town Hall outlines city’s major investments

● Projects include a new community center, expanded park amenities and other civic improvements

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

At a recent town hall, Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan shared updates on the city’s major development priorities, including a $296 million infrastructure plan, a long-awaited BART station, and hundreds of new affordable housing units.

The five-year Capital Improvement Program, approved last June, will fund upgrades to parks, roads, public buildings and transportation through 2028. Projects include a new community cen-

ter at Central Park, expanded park amenities, and improved pedestrian and traffic infrastructure across the city. Public restrooms, sidewalks and traffic signals will also see repairs and modernization. The city is also preparing for growth with new electric vehicle charging stations and sustainability upgrades to city buildings. A key piece of the plan is the Irvington BART Station, now scheduled to break ground in 2026 and open in 2031. Located at Washington Boulevard and Osgood Road, the $120 million project will connect south Fremont neigh-

borhoods to the wider Bay Area transit system. The design includes solar panels, EV infrastructure and a pedestrian-friendly layout, along with the preservation of the nearby historic Gallegos Winery site.

Housing was another key focus. Fremont is adding more than 560 affordable housing units across several projects. Bell Street Gardens will offer 126 units by mid-2025, and Osgood North is set to open this spring with 111 units. Near the future BART station, a 240-unit complex is planned to provide affordable, transit-accessible housing.

Salwan has said the city’s development plans aim to improve quality of life, boost connectivity and address housing affordability.

CIVIC PRIDE In his speech, Newark Mayor Michael Hannon praised the city’s growth and diversity in the community.

The Olive Hyde Art Guild (OHAG) presented the 2025 Scholarship Awards on Friday, May 16, at a reception in the gallery courtyard. The seven finalists were also able to display their work in the Mission Room and at the reception. Over 31 Fremont High School seniors and Ohlone College students applied.

The two jurors were working artists: Rhys Nguyen and Wednesday DeGuzman. Nguyen is a Vietnamese artist. He is the collection coordinator and mentor at P.A.I.N.T. Creative program, a studio space serving artists with developmental and intellectual disabilities. DeGuzman was a finalist in the Olive Hyde Art Guild Scholarship program in 2017. She is a Filipina illustrator and designer from the Bay Area.

The reception was attended by about 70 people; student artists were excited to be able to meet with family, friends, jurors and guild members.

Fremont community leader attends to patients and entertains audiences

clinical work and practice management by delegating and focusing on patient care.

Beyond dentistry, Chiu is deeply involved in civic life. He is a co-founder and the first president of Citizens for a Better Community (CBC), established in 1992 to support Chinese immigrants in Fremont.

“Although I’m an immigrant, I see myself as American—this is my home now,” Chiu said.

He emphasized Fremont’s evolving multicultural landscape and the importance of mutual understanding amid diverse viewpoints. CBC has championed numerous

community initiatives, from supporting Ohlone College’s campus expansion to providing leadership programs for youth.

Chiu also channels his creativity through music. His band “IdeaBand” formed somewhat serendipitously when he and a patient, a bassist from Taiwan, discovered their shared passion. Chiu plays drums in the band, which also features Bass Chorng on keyboard, Jesse Ku on guitar, and Glen Young on bass. The group dedicates one day a week to rehearsals and performsregularly at Bay Area events, including Fremont’s summer concert series.

Chiu said he hopes to stay in Fremont long term and continue building on the strong network he’s established.

“People may remember me as a dentist, a community leader, or a musician,” said Chiu, “but above all, I hope to be known for my compassion and genuine desire to positively impact others’ lives.”

IdeaBand is set to perform at Fremont’s upcoming Summer Concert Series, taking the stage at the Central Park Performance Pavilion on June 26 from 6:30 to 8:30pm.

Jasmine Li, the American High School Outstanding Artistic Talent winner, has also won a contest for her artwork by Scholastic.

Yupei Zhu, the Outstanding Talent award winner, is a deaf student from Ohlone College. He made a speech through a sign language interpreter, about how he lost his hearing when he was in preschool and the loneliness that followed. To paraphrase his words upon winning, Zhu shared that deafness closed doors for him, while art opened new doors, giving him a fresh start.

Eagle Scout project builds native garden

● Castro Valley Library gets new pocket park

Submitted by Elisa Wilfong

There is a new pocket park in Castro Valley!

Sage Park is a public space at the entrance of the Castro Valley Library, designed and created by Ronan Wilfong, a boy scout in Troop 722 and Forestr. org, a nonprofit with a mission to green Castro Valley open spaces and beyond.

Wilfong is a freshman at Castro Valley High School. When considering what to do for his project to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, his lifelong love of books inspired him to give back to his local library by beautifying its entrance with a native garden.

Sage Park is complete with shrubs, trees, wildflowers, benches and

paths and interpretive signs to educate the public about the ecological benefits of native plants and howthey protect stormwater from pollution.

Native plants reduce water use and do not require chemicals to ward off pests, thus eliminating pollutants into the waterways from toxic runoff when it rains. They also provide food for endangered native birds, butterflies and other wildlife as well as shelter and homes.

Sage Park is funded by the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program through its Community Stewardship Grant program, a grant Wilfong and Forestr.org applied for and were awarded in 2024. The park took a year to build and was completed thanks to the volunteers and scouts of Troop 722 as well as Forestr.org members. Going forward, Forestr.org will handle maintenance.

For Wilfong, creating the park was an opportunity to give back to Forestr.org, where he volunteers. “I really enjoyed making new habitats for wildlife and watching butterflies and hummingbirds fly to the flowers in Sage Park,” he said. “I know my Eagle project made a difference for the environment. I look forward to seeing the park every time I go to the library.”

SAGE ADVICE The native plant garden includes educational signage.

Senator names Friends of Children with Special Needs as District 10’s 2025 Nonprofit of the Year

● Certificate honors work with disabled children and adults

By Roelle Balan

California State Senator

Aisha Wahab has chosen a Fremont-based organization as Nonprofit of the Year. She is one of over 100 legislators who chose a nonprofit to recognize this year. Wahab is the representative for District 10, which includes Hayward, Union City, Newark, Fremont and San Jose.

Wahab talked about why she chose Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN): “The fact that they care about not only the kids, but even into adulthood. They’ve been around for many many years,” she said. According to the website, FCSN was established in 1996 by families with special needs children.

Headquartered on Osgood Road in Fremont, FCSN works to provide services for children and adults with disabilities. There are two offices in Fremont and one in San Jose.

Nonprofit of the Year is a statewide initiative that aims to recognize and honor nonprofits in California. It is organized by the State Legislature and the nonprofit organization CalNonprofits. Now in its 10th year, the initiative is a way to strengthen relationships between nonprofit organizations and legislators who make policy and budget decisions.

The CalNonprofits website said that as policymakers, legislators need to know about nonprofits in their district so they can learn more about what their communities need.

Nearly all California Assembly Members and Senators choose an organization that made the most impact in their district. The chosen nonprofits receive an official plaque from their legislator on the Senate floor during an annual luncheon at the State Capitol on May 21, 2025.

District staff member Astrid Scott said in an email that the luncheon is a great opportunity to network, hear success stories from other nonprofits, and to celebrate their work.

Wahab said she was able to visit FCSN offices and tour their facilities.

“I was deeply impressed with their thoughtfulness, their consideration and their care for the community,” she said.

FCSN offers children’s services, such as social, recreation and afterschool programs. They also offer

services for adults with disabilities, including adult day programs, supported and independent living services and an employment program to help adult clients find jobs.

The nonprofit also helps families with disabled children and adults navigate the services available for their loved ones. They advocate for people with disabilities by making sure they are getting the services they need from government agencies like the California State Department of Developmental Services and the nonprofit Regional Center of the East Bay.

Wahab talked about why FCSN is so important. “It really prioritizes a lot of learning throughout the day and community building. These are individuals with disabilities and family struggles, especially within our community,” she said.

NEEDS MET Members of Friends of Children with Special Needs, with California State Senator Aisha Wahab, hold their 2025 Nonprofit of the Year plaque on the Senate floor.

Arunay Foundation recognized by Assemblymember Lee

● Movement earns Nonprofit of the Year title from District 24

Submitted by Anandita Sharma, Community Outreach Director

Arunay Foundation is honored to be named Nonprofit of the Year for Assembly District 24 by Assemblymember Alex Lee. The foundation is a tribute to Arunay Pruthi, whose loss to a sneaker wave in 2021 sparked a mission to prevent future tragedies through water safety education, awareness and access to life-saving tools. Receiving this recognition in May—National Water Safety Month and Arunay’s birthday month—makes it all the more meaningful.

“It is my honor to recognize the Arunay Foundation as our district’s 2025 Nonprofit of the Year,” said Assemblymember Alex Lee. “In memory of Arunay Pruthi, his family founded this foundation and has dedicated themselves to preventing beach tragedies.

“Sharmistha Chakraborty and Tarun Pruthi turned their grief into purpose, and the story of Arunay has touched the lives of so many in our communities,” added Lee. “The Arunay Foundation is

significantly improving beach safety by raising awareness of the dangers of our coastal waters.”

The organization has:

• Installed over 25 life-saving rings along Northern California’s coastline—some of which have already been deployed to save lives.

• Delivered beach safety talks in schools and community centers, sparking vital conversations about the often-overlooked dangers of coastal waters.

• Hosted an annual Beach Safety Run/ Walkathon in Arunay’s memory.

“We’re so thankful to Assemblymember Lee for this honor,” said Sharmistha Chakraborty, co-founder of Arunay Foundation. “This recognition is deeply personal…Every life ring we install and every story we share—we do it with the hope that no other family faces the pain we live with each day.”

The next Beach Safety Run will be held in Half Moon Bay on Saturday, Sept. 27. To learn more, visit arunayfoundation.org.

House cleaning company gains recognition

● BA House Cleaning provides free services to cancer patients

Submitted by Anita Hodzic, owner, BA House Cleaning

BA House Cleaning, a locally owned and Diamond Certified business, has been recognized in 2025 as a Top 100 Partner by the national nonprofit Cleaning for a Reason. This marks the third consecutive year that the company has received this honor for its commitment to providing free house cleaning services to individuals undergoing cancer treatment.

With roots in the greater East Bay region, BA House Cleaning operates with a strong commitment to professionalism, compassion and social responsibility. Unlike many cleaning services, the company employs W-2 workers— not contractors—and is fully licensed and insured.

“Our mission has always been to care for the people in our community, and this partnership with Cleaning for a Reason allows us to do that in a meaningful way,” said Anita Hodzic, founder of BA House Cleaning. “We’re proud to support families going through such difficult times with a clean and peaceful home environment.”

Over the past year, BA House Cleaning has donated services to numerous local families battling cancer across Alameda and Contra Costa counties, including Brentwood, Antioch, San Leandro and surrounding communities.

‘boy paleontologists’ are at work in Bell Quarry digging for ice age fossils. The Pleistocene fossils found at Irvington were so unique that the era they marked was named the Irvingtonian Era. In 1945, LIFE Magazine sent a photographer to record the boys and their adviser Wesley Dexter Gordon at work in the quarry.

All Signs: Four major planets are changing signs within roughly three months. They have orbits of 165, 84, 30 and 12 years. (Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter.) Furthermore, they each move forward into a new sign for a few months, backwards to their previous sign, then forwards again to their new sign to stay. All these changes make us feel that life is moving too fast. (Anger can arise because two of the planets are moving into fiery Aries.) Meanwhile, Wednesday will be one of the most promising date nights of the year. Thursday and Friday are productive, and Friday evening will be another lovely time to socialize.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This is a fast-paced week. You’re making plans. Some of you are studying. Many of you are taking short trips. You’re talking because you have something to say. You’re ready to go after what you want. However, you might be frustrated because people around you aren’t functioning at your level. As a result, you might be persuasive in your demands. Be aware that people might think you’re coming on too strong. However, you’re forgiven because the placement of your ruler Mars right now gives you permission to be yourself. Meanwhile, romance is passionate!

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

Good news: your ruler Venus moves into your sign this week, which will influence your manner of expressing yourself. You’ll have a stronger desire to relate to people and you’ll be more willing to compromise. Venus will help you make peace with everyone. It’s a great time for friends, vacations and socializing because Venus ranks pleasure above work. Very likely, you will buy some new threads because this week, you’re feeling flush. You might even see ways to boost your income?

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

This is a strong week for you because the Sun, your ruler Mercury, and lucky Jupiter are in your sign. This makes you bubbly, interesting and enthusiastic. Your communication style will be strong, which is why you might want to take over and direct projects. This is a busy time for you, especially because some of you are dabbling in secret love affairs. Respect

your moneymaking ideas or attempts to explore new jobs because soon you will be getting richer. Give yourself credit for your clever ideas.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

You’re happy to be low-key this week because you sense that soon, your world will get a big boost—and you’re right. Enjoy warm friendships. You have many reasons to be proud now because your achievements are starting to bear fruit. Nevertheless, you have many responsibilities. This year, you’ll begin to feel more secure about yourself and the impression you make on others. You’ll gain new experiences and learn from them. People and resources will be drawn to you; and your confidence and poise will increase.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

You have been blessed recently, and will continue to be blessed with fiery Mars in your sign boosting your energy and giving you drive. Make the most of this because in mid-June, Mars will move on to Virgo. But right now, it makes you dazzle! However, this week, fair Venus is high in your chart, paving the way for excellent relations with authority figures as well. Very likely, you’ll be asked for your creative advice on matters like design or layout work. New love with someone older or more established might blossom.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

Once a year, the Sun sits at the top of your chart, which symbolizes that you’re being thrust in a flattering spotlight. Like magic, others admire you. (Especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs.) This is why you’ll be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you will impress everyone. Meanwhile, travel for pleasure beckons. This week begins with the Moon in your sign for the first two days, which will give you a slight advantage over everyone else. Why not ask the universe for a favor?

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

There’s a lot going on in your chart now that makes you want to travel. However, this same influence will also bless legal and medical matters, and bring you opportunities to study and learn, which is great because you have an inquiring mind. Romance is affectionate. Plus, this is an excellent week for gifts, goodies and favors will come your way. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a bit of extra good luck. This will be the perfect time to ask for a favor.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

Financial matters will favor you this week. This might include discussions about inheritances, or how to divide something. It certainly is a good time to ask for a loan or a mortgage. Decisions about shared property and banking matters

will be favorable, especially because you’re ambitious. Furthermore, with Venus opposite your sign, relations with partners, close friends and members of the public are congenial and mutually affectionate. By Friday and Saturday, the Moon is in your sign giving you a slight edge over everyone else.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

Remember that you need more sleep this week because you’re not getting your usual boost of energy from the Sun. Nevertheless, you’ll excel at creative, intellectual work because you’ll be able to convey your ideas to others in a convincing way. In fact, you’ll put energy into expanding your mind, and looking for new experiences through travel or learning. Some of you might be dealing with legal matters right now. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are excellent. (In fact, a work-related flirtation could begin.) At the beginning of the week, people notice you more than usual. By midweek, your popularity is strong!

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

This is a productive week for you because you’re motivated to work hard. Motivation is everything: From the thought, springs the word. From the word, springs the deed. The deed soon becomes habit; and habit eventually hardens into character. Therefore, everything begins with our thoughts. This week you want to work efficiently to get the best results. Perhaps this is why many of you will get a raise or promotion. Be patient with others about confrontations, especially about shared property or responsibilities. Meanwhile, romance, the theatre and social outings appeal.

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

This is a wonderful week because you feel playful and lighthearted! No matter how involved you are with personal responsibilities -- this week, you want to explore theatre, sports, activities with kids and fun recreational outlets. It’s a great week for artists to be productive because you’re imaginative, playful and in touch with your muse. You’ll also enjoy redecorating at home and entertaining. Having said this, be patient with partners and close friends because with Mars opposite your sign, it’s easy to feel annoyed with someone.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Home, family and your private life continue to be your main focus this week. Family discussions will be significant. Many of you will address home repairs or renovations, home projects, and possible residential moves. Time spent with a parent might be important. Fortunately, with Venus in your House of Communications, you’ll enjoy your everyday world, especially talking to others. In fact, you’ll be delighted by the beauty you encounter in your everyday surroundings. Visit a park and pleasant neighbourhoods.

Fatal tra c collision in Fremont

● Police investigate vehicle speeding in wrong direction

Submitted by Fremont Police Department

On May 21, at approximately 9:05am, Fremont Police Department Officers investigated a major injury collision in the area of Fremont Boulevard and Decoto Road. Fremont PD received multiple reports of a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction before colliding with a parked and unoccupied semi-truck trailer. Fremont Police and Fremont Fire Department arrived a short time later and determined the driver was deceased from the collision.

The Fremont PD Tra c Investigations Unit assumed the collision investigation. Based on the preliminary investigation, the vehicle was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of Fremont Boulevard at a high rate of speed.

The vehicle collided with a parked and detached semi-truck trailer on the east shoulder of northbound Fremont Boulevard. The driver su ered massive injuries from the collision and was declared deceased at the scene by emergency responders. No other people or vehicles were involved in this collision. The cause of the collision is still under investigation, and drug or alcohol impairment is unknown at this time.

The deceased driver has not yet been identi ed.

This is Fremont’s fourth fatal traffic collision in 2025.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information regarding this collision, please contact Fremont Police Tra c Unit by calling Fremont PD at 510.790.6760. We also accept anonymous tips. Text ‘Tip FremontPD’ followed by your short message to 888-777, or via the web at fremontpolice.gov/Tip.

Watch out! Summertime is also mosquito time. Millions of mosquitoes are out there. And they’re looking for their favorite food:

Do they send out mosquito swatter teams? Do they spray poisons all over? None of the above. They take a much more scientific and safe approach.

Mosquitoes can spread dangerous diseases to animals and humans. The Mosquito Abatement Team works to kill mosquitoes before they become a problem.

Look closely at the head. Between the eyes are the antennae.They can sense sounds and odors. Male antennae are feathery.

The female mosquito has long thread-like antennae.

Mosquito abatement specialists study the life cycle of a mosquito and then try to kill them before they become flying adults.

The best time to battle the bug is at the larva stage. Mosquito abatement teams often put mosquito-larvae-eating fish in the ponds and puddles where female mosquitoes have laid eggs.

Do you see a tiny, straw-like tube sticking out between the antennae? That is the proboscis, or mouth. The female uses this to drink blood. Male mosquitoes feed on plant juices and flower nectar.

Which mosquitoes are males and which are females? It is important to know because only one sex drinks blood.

STAGE 1: EGG

Female mosquitoes lay about 200 eggs on the surface of water. The eggs stick together and

After just one warm day, larvae hatch from each egg. They look like tiny, wiggling worms. Some people call them wigglers!

make a tiny raft.

STAGE 2: LARVAE STAGE 3: PUPA

STAGE 4: ADULT

It takes as little as one and a half warm days for a pupa to become an adult, flying mosquito.

After a larva is grown, it changes shape and becomes a pupa. The pupa breathes air through a tube that it holds above the water’s surface while tumbling around in the water.

Pretend each letter of the alphabet has points. For example, A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. How many points would the word “mosquito” be worth! Look through the newspaper for five words worth more than “mosquito” and five words worth fewer points.

Why do mosquitoes buzz in people’s ears? Explain. Get creative!

SkillSprout provides youth with sports equipment

● Teens nonprofit boosts access sports education

By Marc Vicente

‘Growing up, we were fortunate enough to have our sports expenses covered—everything from equipment to uniforms. But not every kid has that kind of support,” says Sohum Wadhwani. “Our goal is simple: to make sure every child has the chance to excel in the sport they love by providing them with the right equipment and financial backing.” This goal was what propelled the Mission San Jose high school student to create SkillSprout.

SkillSprout is a student-run nonprofit that aims to remove the financial barrier from youth sports by collecting sports equipment and distributing it to local and national partner beneficiaries. It was formed in 2024 as a response to being unable to find a local organization that could collect sports equipment.

As founder and president, Wadhwani leads a team of eight student athletes who share his vision, and together they manage partnerships with the beneficiaries. Partnerships have been

made with other education-focused nonprofits like First Tee Tri-Valley, Turn Two For Youth, Soccer Without Borders and Impact Academy of Arts & Technology.

Wadhwani shared, “As we continue to expand, we’re actively seeking new beneficiary partnerships in other major sports like tennis to further our mission of making athletics accessible to all. We are also actively working with corporations to fund our raffles for equipment drives, and are looking into receiving equipment from professional sports teams.”

Most of their interactions take place on their website: skill-sprout.org, where they accept donations and handle applications to receive sports equipment. When equipment is collected, each of SkillSprout’s team leaders takes charge of a specific sport and reaches out to the beneficiaries who requested gear.

Their two vice presidents, Aaditya Badia and Adit Saxena, are both on Mission San Jose High’s state-ranked varsity badminton team so they handle badminton equipment, and secretary Roshan Markar personally collects unused baseball equipment from his teammates. They share whatever stock they have and coordinate drop-offs whenever needed.

Since their inception in 2024, about $400 dollars in cash and over $4,000 in equipment have been collected, supporting over 50 athletes as a result. Their biggest success was donating $1,200 in golf equipment to a local golf nonprofit, providing clubs for free lessons. According to Wadhwani, SkillSprout is about to take part in a summer sports drive, where the team hopes to donate over 350 pieces of equipment.

“I’ve personally seen many talented

athletes who couldn’t play certain sports because their families couldn’t afford the gear,” Wadhwani says. “Sports teach so much, from leadership to teamwork, and we believe that no child should miss them due to financial barriers. One piece of equipment can go a long way!”

To find contact forms to offer donations or apply to receive them, visit website skillsprout.org.

JOIN THE CLUB Aaditya Badia accepts a handoff of golf clubs from a donor.

League readies for tackle football and cheer

● Fremont Football and Cheer League kick off 61st season

By Vidyuth Sridhar

‘1, 2, 3, team! 1, 2, 3, Fremont!” rang out across Irvington Community Park’s field on Saturday morning, where young athletes, ages 6 through 14, practiced drills at Fremont Football and Cheer League’s (FFL) final spring camp.

Established in 1964, FFL is a co-ed youth football and cheerleading organization serving kids from Fremont and neighboring cities. Boys and girls interested in stepping onto the gridiron can join FFL’s in-house spring flag football league or the “Firebirds” tackle football team, which competes in the summer against teams across the East Bay. Kids interested in cheer also practice in the summer, learning routines and performing during halftime at Firebirds games.

FFL’s spring camps mark the start of the tackle football and cheer calendar, focusing on general conditioning and developing basic skills like tackling and learning dance moves. On Saturday, volunteer coaches, many of them FFL alumni, led football athletes through stretching before splitting into age and position groups. The cheer team also practiced on the turf, focusing on stretching and choreography.

The camp also drew several high-profile attendees, including former Fremont

Mayor Lily Mei and ex-Seattle Seahawks running back Robert Turbin, an FFL and Irvington High School alumnus who served as a guest coach. Both said they are working with FFL to support the community and advocate for better local football facilities.

Indeed, finding field space is a pressing issue for FFL. League officials said that local cultural shifts and the rise of other sports like soccer have made it harder to secure city permits, and in prior seasons, forced them to relocate games to Hayward or San Jose. To combat this, they hope to repurpose unused FUSD high school fields and convince the city to expand its facilities.

But despite these challenges and even amid recent attempts to ban youth tackle football statewide, community interest in football and cheer remains strong.

“[I signed my kid up] because she’s an active kid who loves anything involving jumping, screaming and bouncing around,” said Amelia Nelson, an FFL cheerleader parent.

“Being part of a team teaches kids lifelong values and cooperation, and doing that in the ‘ultimate team sport’ is the best,” said Firebirds parent Keith Parker.

Depending on their child’s age and weight, parents can register them for one of FFL’s four tackle football divisions—8U, 10U, 12U and 14U, or the cheerleading team.

For more information, visit FFL’s website; call 510.CAN-PASS or email Fremontfootball1964@gmail.com.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by MILDRED C. NAVARRO-GUEL in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA.

The Petition for Probate requests that MILDRED C. NAVARRO-GUEL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 7/7/2025 at 9:45 A.M. in Dept. 202 Room N/A located at 2120 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAY, BERKELEY, CA 94704.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

INCE’, VICE PRESIDENT CALIFORNIA TD SPECIALIST IS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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 call 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 87976. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 4777869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING. com, using the file number assigned to this case 87976 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Disclosure In compliance with CA civil code 2924f(F), the opening bid for the foreclosure sale is based on a valuation provided t the trustee by the lender of the lender’s representative. The trustee does not determine, verify, or opine on the accuracy of this valuation and makes no representation regarding the market value of the property subject to foreclosures (the “Property”). The trustee’s compliance or non-compliance with CA civil code 2924f(f) shall not be construed as an opinion, warranty, or representation regarding (i) the priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, (ii) the condition of title to the Property, or (iii) any other matters affecting the Property, Including the value of the Property. The trustee relies solely on the trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information. All bidders are solely responsible for conducting their own Independent due diligence regarding the loan, the Property, its value, the lien priority of the deed of trust being foreclosed, and the condition of the title to the Property. The trustee assumes no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by third parties, including the lender. The valuation used to determine the minimum opening bid applies only to the Initially scheduled sale date.
