Fremont has declared an emergency shelter crisis

● Motel 6 location will be the site for 150 shelters

By Roelle Balan

Fremont has declared an emergency shelter crisis as the city’s homelessness population is likely to increase. According to the resolution, the city is anticipating an increase due to the lack of funding for supportive housing.

The approval of the declaration starts an emergency shelter program led by Cardea Health and Abode Services. Cardea Health will assist people with severe medical needs. Abode will provide case management and housing navigation services, which will help people toward permanent supportive housing.

The city plans to open 150 emergency shelters at the Motel 6 South location. The motel is on 46101 Research Ave., off of the Mission Boulevard exit on 680.

Councilmember Teresa Keng said it’s concerning that the city has yet to receive Measure W funds. “Our taxpayers have paid towards Measure W and we have this huge need,” she said.

Interactive fun in Fremont

● Solving a murder was never this fun

The “About Last Night” website describes the game as a “mashup of immersive theater performance, escape room puzzle solving and social strategy game mechanics.” The story takes the form of a murder

mystery: After throwing a rave, tech billionaire Marcus Blackwood is found murdered, and party guests wake up with their memories stolen by his new sketchy device.

News from Washington Health

March 19 is Certified Nurses Day

Washington Health

Celebrates Credentialed Nurses

Of the 4.3 million nurses in the U.S., more than 1 million hold at least one professional certification. Becoming certified requires meeting specific education requirements and passing

a standardized exam, with ongoing renewal ensuring up-to-date expertise. Certifications beyond RN licensure validate a nurse’s specialized knowledge and skills, benefiting the nurse, the

hospital, and patients. On March 19, Certified Nurses Day honors nurses who pursue professional excellence through specialty certification. The date coincides with the birthday of Dr. Margretta Madden Styles, a pioneer in nursing credentialing.

“Certification validates a nurse’s specialized knowledge and clinical judgment, which directly improves confidence and patient care,” said Terri Hunter, DNP, MPA, RN, NEA-BC, CENP, vice president and chief nursing officer at Washington Health.

There are more than 200 nursing specialties and subspecialties, and certification endorses a nurse’s expertise and commitment to providing highquality, evidence-based patient care. Certified nurses earn credentials such as CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse), CRNA (Nurse Anesthetist), and FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner), reflecting advanced knowledge and proficiency within their specialty areas. Research consistently demonstrates that higher rates of certified nurses are associated with improved patient safety, lower infection rates, and reduced mortality, including lower failure-to-rescue rates.

As health care becomes increasingly complex, demonstrating expertise is more vital than ever. Nursing certification provides patients and their families with assurance that the

nurse caring for them has validated knowledge and proven competence in their specialty.

At Washington Health, 27.4% of nurses hold at least one professional certification, and 89% have earned a Bachelor of Science in nursing — both exceeding national benchmarks. As a Magnet® designated organization, Washington Health actively supports certification through exam reimbursement, on-site study sessions, and flexible scheduling.

“We are proud of our highly educated, board-certified nurses whose commitment to excellence consistently drives superior patient outcomes,” Hunter added. “We appreciate their engagement and expertise on this special day of recognition — and every day.”

When the Consultant Becomes the Patient

Joint replacement rep gains valuable insight when he needs a new hip.

Michael Olmes of Fremont has been in the operating room for joint replacement procedures thousands of times – not as a patient, but as a manufacturer’s consultant for joint replacement implants.

The senior sales consultant for Johnson & Johnson has partnered with Washington Health and other hospitals for more than 20 years, working behind the scenes during surgeries. Olmes is on hand to make sure artificial hip and knee joints fit perfectly, and that surgeons have everything they need in the operating room.

In December 2024, Olmes, 49, went from OR consultant to patient when he had his hip replaced. The father of three grown daughters had struggled with pain from an old hip labrum (cartilage) injury that acted up again in 2021.

“I had noticeable hip pain from a judo injury eight years ago, and I was dealing with it. I thought it was isolated to the labrum,” Olmes explained. “The pain had originally dissipated but came back. It got to a point that I needed to take Advil or Aleve just to get through the day.”

The active hiker, snowboarder and pickleball enthusiast was managing the pain himself, avoiding sports and doing stretching and physical therapy exercises, but it wasn’t getting better.

‘My Hip Was Bone on Bone’ “I was at the hospital one day consulting on upcoming surgery cases, and I asked a physician assistant what I should do about my hip. She sent me to get an

X-ray. After taking the X-ray, it was so apparent that the technician called out to me, ‘You need a total hip replacement.’ ”

Knowing what X-rays of deteriorated joints look like, Olmes knew the tech was right. “Once I saw the X-ray I knew. I’ve seen these kinds of hip X-rays every day. It was a shock, but I knew that replacement was the only solution. Conservative treatment wouldn’t work. My hip was bone on bone.”

Since Olmes had worked for years with Alexander Sah, MD, of Sah Orthopaedic Associates and Washington Health’s Institute for Joint Restoration and Research, he immediately knew which surgeon he wanted to operate. He even got to choose the hip implant he wanted used.

“I felt nervous but very calm at the same time,” Olmes recalled. “I work with Dr. Sah every day and didn’t want anyone else doing my surgery. He’s one of the most skilled surgeons I’ve worked with and he performs many total joint replacements in California. He has a great program. He works with some of the best nurses and technicians in the Bay Area, who take their jobs very seriously. I felt like I was with family.”

Dr. Sah did an anterior hip replacement at the Washington Outpatient Surgery Center, and Olmes returned home four hours after surgery. Pain Mitigation Makes Recovery Easier “The things that Dr. Sah does with pain mitigation helped me recover quickly,” Olmes explained. “He uses what I

call ‘magic honey,’ a substance with honey-like consistency, that sticks to the soft tissue and acts like Novocaine. This is among the things he does so patients can get up after surgery and move around without pain killers and minimal discomfort.”

Two weeks after surgery, Olmes was doing range-of-motion exercises and gentle walking. “After six weeks, I was back playing pickleball, taking it slowly. Every day that I would play I realized my body could do a little more. I felt better playing than I did prior to surgery. I was shocked by how good I felt.”

He added: “I’ve seen so much progress with joint implants in the past 20 to 25 years. Device makers have solved a lot of issues with the implants, and they’re now the gold standard.”

Olmes, who was a college athlete at the University of San Francisco, is back to his busy lifestyle: skiing, snowboarding, hiking, pickleball, and

“Once I saw the X-ray I knew. I’ve seen these kinds of hip X-rays every day. It was a shock, but I knew that replacement was the only solution.”

Mike Olmes

consulting in the operating room three to four days a week.

“Having this experience has been a blessing in disguise, because now I have firsthand knowledge of what joint patients experience. I now have the patient perspective.”

His advice as both a J&J consultant and hip replacement patient is simple: “When you consider joint replacements, look for the surgeon who does total joints as their major practice. Go to the one who does 250 surgeries or more a year.

“In my opinion, that’s Dr. Sah. Washington Health has invested in the newest technologies and has one of the best total joint programs in the state.”

OPINION

What is a Happiest City?

By Stephanie Uchida

Fremont has retained its “Happiest City” title in 2026, at least by WalletHub standards. When I hear this news, my first reaction is “Fremont, really?” Not somewhere cool like Carmel? And then, “So, is this as good as it gets?”

It’s a little weird to hear your own hometown dubbed the happiest in America. Most people dream about growing up and discovering their own home where they feel they truly belong. If your hometown is already the standard, that limits your options.

What is happiness anyway? WalletHub lists household income (OK, but we all know that depends heavily on overall cost of living), low divorce rates and high life expectancy (those two I can vibe with). But it’s hard to put a dollar amount or a number on happiness. It means different things to different people.

This reminds me of my college reading of Milton’s Paradise Lost , which tells about the Biblical rebellion of Satan against God and the exile of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Satan himself can never return to the original “happiest city,” AKA Heaven, but comforts himself with the thought, “The mind is its own place, and in itself / Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.” However, this later comes back to haunt him as he reflects, “Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell.”

Essentially, he discovers the adage: Wherever you go, there you are. If you’re a stinker like Milton’s Satan, anywhere you go is going to suck because your character flaws make you (and everybody else) miserable.

Even in our official happiest city we’re allotting a Motel 6 for 150 emergency shelters because so many are affected by homelessness. For sure, we have some problems. I think a statistics-based designation like “happiest city” can be useful as a reminder that your own city isn’t a uniquely terrible place while other parts of America are havens of good vibes and cheap housing. It could even be a source of positive competition and civic pride.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

But in the end, you are the creator of your own happiness. Paradise Lost teaches us that even the perfect environment doesn’t absolve us of moral responsibility. It’s scary to think we could lose everything by our own selfishness and hubris. But the flip side is that we have discernment and free will.

Whatever our city, we can find some happiness and work to make it a little happier next year than last year.

Ongoing issue with Republic Services

More than five weeks ago, during a scheduled green waste pickup, Republic Services accidentally dropped our green waste bin into their truck. A few days later, we called customer service and were told they did not have any replacement bins in stock and would need to order one. We were also told they would deliver temporary green waste bags so we could still manage our yard waste. Unfortunately, over a week passed and nothing was delivered.

During the second week, my husband called again and was told they still did not have a bin available. By the third week, I called again to ask why nothing had been delivered. At that time, the representative

We have never experienced a situation where we had to go this long without a proper waste container

changed the explanation and said they did not have our specific bin size available.

I suggested they provide a different size bin temporarily and swap it later when the correct size becomes available. The representative said she would escalate the issue to the oper-

ations team and that we would receive a call the next day. It has now been two additional weeks, and we still have not received a call or a replacement bin.

Waste collection is a basic service that residents rely on, and we feel this situation has not been handled responsibly. We are especially concerned about the repeated delays, lack of follow-up, and changing explanations we have received.

We have lived in several other cities, and whenever a bin was lost or damaged, replacements were usually delivered within a few days. We have never experienced a situation where we had to go this long without a proper waste container.

Tolerating irresponsible handling by Republic Services is equivalent to allowing this behavior to continue and repeat, which ultimately affects many Fremont residents.

Union City continues research on utility tax measure

● Voter survey asks residents for their priorities and preferences

By Roelle Balan

The City of Union City is working on getting a Utility User Tax measure extension on this November’s ballot. The council decided to move forward with a 5% tax with no increase.

The city has a utility tax that will end in December 2028. A utility tax can be applied to gas, electric, cell phone, cable and internet bills.

Godbe Research presented the results of a voter survey on the tax measure at the March 10 city council meeting. The online and phone survey taken by 468 residents took about 25 minutes to complete.

Residents were asked about their priorities when it comes to city funds. The top priorities were 911 emergency response, paramedic and fire protection services. Residents were asked several times about the utility tax, including a possible 2.5% tax increase, an eight-year extension and an “until ended by voters” extension.

Top priorities were 911 emergency response, paramedic and fire protection services

Bryan Godbe from Godbe Research said the “until ended by voters” wording received a positive reaction because voters feel they have more control on when a tax would end.

The city is still deciding on how much longer the future utility tax would be. Union City doesn’t have a budget deficit, but is anticipating one after 2029. City staff said they are making plans now to avoid a “fiscal cliff.”

Last Night’ is a fun puzzle

event space. Then they have the choice to publicize or bury what they uncover. At the end they choose a story to present to the police.

Currently, “About Last Night” is being hosted at Off the Couch Games in Fremont through April 5.

The game was created by Shuai Chen, Bora “Max” Koknar and Casey Selden, who bring a range of theater and game design experience. When Off the Couch owner Nick Shilbe learned they were looking for a space for “About Last Night,” he was happy to offer a section that wasn’t being used yet for his own 12-part escape room series.

I never even knew Fremont had its own escape room, and the venue on Mowry Avenue has plenty of parking, a check-in area, a waiting room with board games, lockers and drinks for purchase.

Our group comprised seven players total, but the game can accommodate up to 20. We were told that we didn’t have to solve every puzzle to finish the game, which turned out to be good advice because when we got to the escape room, the sheer amount of information around the walls and on objects and furniture was initially overwhelming.

But when I drilled down and focused I was able to see several puzzles through to completion. I also found it was easy to collaborate with total strangers whom I only knew by their character name.

The group I played with was definitely more focused on the puzzle-solving side than the acting side. We received character sheets before entering the escape room, and everyone stayed in

character, just with a very no-frills attitude. Koknar briefed us on gameplay and stayed with us as our guide, collecting the clues we found and nudging us if we got too stuck.

Koknar also took photos of us during the game that were part of an “article” based on our investigations that was emailed out after. It was a fun touch to get to see ourselves in action, and he also had many nice things to say about my character, a plucky reporter determined to find the truth about the murder victim.

A lot of love went into the design of the room. The walls are covered with graffiti—some of which are clues and some are just for fun. There were couches, rugs, photo frames, a bar and more objects that gave us ample space to explore. A screen projected the clues we had already found, which helped me keep track of the evidence we uncovered.

While the other escape rooms at Off the Couch can run over $10,000 to design, “About Last Night” is more DIY. The team tested out the puzzles first remotely. Then Koknar and Chen spent about a week painting and installing set pieces.

“When the opportunity to use the current warehouse space arose,” says Koknar, “we approached the project as a site-responsive design challenge with a story and gameplay designed to fit into the existing environment instead of trying to transform the space into something else. Centering the story around a Silicon Valley warehouse rave turned out to be the perfect choice.”

I think the game is ideal for bigger parties; there will definitely be something for everyone to do. Off the Couch games are up to six players, and other local escape rooms top off at eight or 10. The two-hour runtime flew by because we were so amped.

However, it’s harder to “win” when the stakes are less binary than “door opens / does not open.” With our smaller group, we didn’t get the full picture on the murder. Scalability is something to refine for later iterations of the game. For example, it would add tension if at the end you have to accuse one of your fellow players.

Overall, “About Last Night” is a fun evening out for fans of escape rooms and murder mystery parties. A way to not only recover memories, but to create some.

Fremont motel to become emergency shelter

— Continued from page 1

The 2024 Point-In-Time (PIT) count reported 612 out of 807 people experiencing homelessness in Fremont are without any shelter. A quarter of the unhoused are ages 55 and up. The top causes of homelessness in Fremont include losing housing and job loss. A PIT count took place in January but results will not be available until sometime in the spring.

Councilmember Desrie Campbell asked if there could be an extension to the Winter Relief program, which is in the city’s Homelessness Response Plan adopted in 2024. City manager Karena Shackelford said she will talk with staff about the city’s options for the extension, but it will come at a cost.

Campbell thanked people attending the meeting that work and serve the homelessness population. “I know it’s hard work but you do it with grace and compassion, and I appreciate it,” she said.

The council will be updated every two years. The shelter crisis can end anytime through a council vote.

Hayward State of the City starts with the budget

● Positive updates for city include more housing and traffic safety

By Roelle Balan

The Hayward State of the City address took place at Hayward Unified School District Performing Arts Center on March 12. As if starting a show, all the lights in the theater dimmed and a spotlight shined on a Hayward High School student giving an introduction about Mayor Mark Salinas at the podium.

A video showcasing locations in Hayward played. After the video, the stage lights went up and Salinas walked on stage, ready to share the State of the City. The mayor spoke to the audience, almost like a Ted Talk, for about an hour.

The mayor started his speech with the elephant in the room: the budget. Last spring, the city found out they were struggling financially. “The city spent more than it received,” he said.

Salinas said the main causes of the budget deficit are paying for overtime, new programs and services, saving St. Rose Hospital, buying a movie the-

ater on B Street and pay increases for all city employees.

He said the steps the city took to help reduce the budget shortfall consist of cutting all executive position compensation by 40% and $6.7 million dollars in personnel savings.

Members of SEIU, the workers union for Hayward city employees, were in the audience and shouted “layoffs!” when Salinas talked about personnel. Some city workers were laid off a week before Christmas last year. Members expressed their opinions with a few words several times after that, but the mayor continued on with his speech.

He talked about crime being down, road improvements and a goal for a “Vision Zero City,” a movement that aims to reduce the number of fatal and severe injury crashes to zero.

The Hayward Rides program gives free bikes and safety gear to Hayward residents. Every month the city gives away 100 bikes through an application process and a random drawing.

The mayor also spoke about the city’s status as a Pro-Housing Designation. The designation means the city made housing available for every income level. The state runs the program, making multiple state grants available for cities working on housing projects.

The mayor started his speech with the elephant in the room: the budget. Last spring, the city found out they were struggling financially.

“Our approach to homelessness is not simply a policy choice, it is a moral responsibility,” Salinas said. “How we care for the unhoused, the sick and those in crisis is a test of who we are as a city.”.

He said the city’s housing navigation center connects the unhoused to housing, healthcare and supportive services. The center served 124 people in 2025 and 62 received stable housing.

Salinas thanked the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for teaming up to save St. Rose Hospital. He said St. Rose is on the path to financial stability.

He also spoke on illegal dumping, city cleanup events and the Access Hayward App, for residents to report problems such as broken sidewalks. Salinas ensured that they are responding to the requests. He also highlighted new local businesses and the city’s vision of becoming an Education City.

Over a quarter of Hayward residents are students. He said this label means every child is supported from cradle to career through trade programs, community college and university.

Small changes at home can make a big difference

● How to think about refreshing it for spring

By Janis Mara

The rain is gone, spring is almost here and it’s a great time to refresh your home. It doesn’t have to be expensive or exhausting—maybe a fresh coat of paint, new colors, new lighting and a window-washing, Bay Area designers said.

Small changes can have a big visual impact, according to Kanika Khurana, principal interior designer for Kanika Design.

“I love swapping winter textures for spring-forward soft goods—lightweight linen pillows, airy curtains and brighter rugs,” Khurana said.

Anna Jacoby of Anna Jacoby Interiors seemed to be on the same page.

“You can replace your fall look with nice fresh springtime colors,” Jacoby said. “Consider changing out the throw pillows on the sofa, as well as the table runners on the dining room table.

“Get some fresh flowers or silk flowers for the centerpiece,” she suggested. “This is all low-cost and puts you in a springy mood.”

For the bedroom, Jacoby said, if you have a goose down comforter, you can change the cover for a new look at not much expense.

Along those lines, Khurana said “My personal favorite tip is to start with the bedroom. Add crisp new bedding paired with dimmable lights you can adjust to your mood.”

Lighting can completely transform how a home feels, according to real estate site Redfin. You can start with general overhead lighting that evenly illuminates the room as a base. From there, you can add task lighting focusing on specific activities, such as desk lights, or accent lighting.

For spring, the best choice may be natural lighting, maximizing windows and daylight whenever possible, according to Redfin.

With that in mind, “Definitely wash your windows after a long winter,” Jacoby said. “You’re going to want your windows shades open to look at the flowers blooming outside.”

Painting a room is another relatively low-effort approach. With spring in mind, neutral or light tones can brighten things up, according to Redfin.

Overall, “If you’re looking for a weekend project, a fresh coat of paint is still the most cost-effective way to redefine a space,” Khurana said.

Even more low-cost: Rearranging the furniture.

“Don’t overlook the power of simply decluttering and reconfiguring your furniture,” Khurana said. “It costs nothing and provides a much-needed sense of clarity.”

Clearing surfaces and streamlining storage makes rooms feel larger. And rotating art and accessories can create a fresh perspective on a familiar space.

Some more cost-effective small changes: New placemats and kitchen towels; new bathroom towels and hand soaps in the bathroom; and a new shower curtain, Jacoby said.

“With the change of seasons, it’s a nice time to try new things,” the designer said.

Lucid Air and Gravity: the last disrupters standing

● Newark-based electric vehicles take up the mantle of departing Tesla

By Michael Coates

No one ever said the car business was predictable. The Tesla Model S sedan, arguably the car that started the modern EV revolution back in 2012, is winding down production at its Fremont plant. The Model X SUV is likewise dropping off, replaced by a production line for Tesla’s humanoid robots.

That leaves Newark-based Lucid Motors as the heir-apparent to the title of large electric car disrupters. I had the opportunity earlier this year to spend some time in both Lucid models, which are more than capable of picking up the mantle as the leaders in their segments.

The Lucid Air Touring I drove is the mid-level trim for the midsize luxury sedan. The Touring trim is bracketed by the award-winning entry-level Pure— which I tested in November 2024—and the pricier Grand Touring. It’s a sweet spot for this easy-to-drive and enjoyable car with a starting price $81,400— including destination charges.

The catch with our test car is its final price was north of $100,000 because of the addition of its DreamDrive Pro hands-free driver-assist program, 21-speaker audio system, 20-inch wheels and upgraded interior bits. Trust me, the add-ons were nice, but not necessary to define this car.

The core of the Air Touring is crisp performance, long range and fast charging. With motors on each of the axles providing 620 horsepower, the Air Touring will hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. If you keep those speed sprints down, the Touring can take you well past 400 miles on a full charge. Our model with the taller tires was EPA-rated at 396 miles.

Our real-world observations are that the range estimates were solid, as Lucid’s efficient motors do their work effortlessly. Recharging the 92 kWh battery is fast because of Lucid’s 700V electrical architecture, which can deliver up to 200 miles of range in 16 minutes on a 250 kW charger.

One added note that, like many of the technical highlights, applies to the Gravity as well. One of the negatives about the Model S from the beginning was that it was a great car, but not really a luxury car in spite of its elevated price.

Lucid has all of the touch points of luxury—fine materials, attention to detail and a high level of comfort. Look at the back seat, something that distin-

guishes the Air. Its 37.6 inches of legroom make it tempting to think of it as a limousine rather than the driver’s car it is.

The Gravity—Down to Earth

Lucid just started delivering models of its three-row SUV late last year after a few hiccups in the launch. I previewed a static version of the seven-passenger vehicle, but finally got to do a few short drives with one of the car’s product managers on board. Like the Air, it hits the mark for a luxury-class entry in this segment. Interior space is impressive. Lucid again packages a full-size interior into a midsize exterior.

But the Gravity offers more than efficiency and luxury—it zeros in on functionality. The frunk (front trunk) is designed for two people to comfortably sit when the car is parked, while the middle row has airline-style drop-down trays and its own display screen and soft touch surfaces abound.

The whole Gravity package reads like a big SUV wish list—560-to-828 horsepower, 337-450 miles of range and 200 miles of range added from 11 to 15 minutes of fast charging. Its adjustable air suspension can change your ride height on the fly.

If you’d rather bulk up with stuff instead of passengers, there’s 120 cubic feet of flat floor behind the two front seats. The interior cabin has a bunch of configuration options to accommodate a variety of people and things. It can tow up to 6,000 pounds.

The Gravity has two models—Touring and pricier Grand Touring, which starts at the same $81,400 as the Air Touring sedan. More models are promised, but right now Lucid’s Air and Gravity are sitting as the kings of the EV disrupter pack.

Love and community come together to raise a special girl

● Local caregivers improve quality of life for child with rare genetic disorder

By Victor Carvellas

Reyna Jogani, eight-year-old daughter of Jainu and Shruti Jogani, has CDKL5 deficiency disorder, a rare genetic condition that prevents the creation of proteins necessary for optimal neural functioning.

As a result, Reyna’s access to her motor functions has boundaries and control of her limbs comes with effort. However, Reyna’s life is not defined by limits. Her sweetness, sense of humor, imagination and curiosity about the world are flowering, fueled by the love and support of not only her adoring parents but a team of dedicated professionals who have become family as much as caregivers.

Shruti gave birth after a full-term normal pregnancy, but after about three weeks, baby Reyna began to have seizures. Because they were unpredictable and short, it was difficult for her parents to document what was happening. Finally, after keeping a camera trained on Reyna for more than 24 hours, they caught the seizures on camera and sent the video to Kaiser.

An EEG confirmed the seizures originated in the brain in a manner similar to epilepsy. Medications were prescribed and the symptoms abated, but only for a few weeks. Only after a full barrage of tests could doctors confirm the CDKL5 deficiency.

Though physical limitations presented clearly, determining Reyna’s mental state was not as easy. The big question facing her parents was how well she comprehended her world. As it turned out, quite well. Two years ago, she began using an eye-gaze tablet similar to the one used by the late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking. Her eye movements select icons that have specific meanings and they can be sequenced to transmit her thoughts and feelings.

Her communication is nuanced and specific. Her dad goes so far as to say she can be sassy and opinionated. “She can be rather particular,” he says, “and is not above the occasional eye-roll.”

Jainu and Shruti make sure Reyna gets to experience everything an eightyear-old could want. She likes the ocean, playing Uno, listening to Taylor Swift and watching KPop Demon Hunters. Aided by adaptive gear, she has been skiing, boating and horseback riding. Her academic interests include biology and anatomy. She has very specifically said, says Shruti, “she wants to become a lung doctor.”

Jainu and Shruti are of course not alone. A number of individuals care for Reyna’s physical health, social relations and intellectual growth. Her primary care pediatrician, Dr. Faeza Khan, came to Kaiser in 2017, just over a year out of her University of Missouri residency. Only weeks after arriving in California she met the two-month-old Reyna and has been with the family ever since.

Khan was drawn to pediatrics during her university studies. “When I think about the incredible physiology that’s happening in the early years,” says Khan, “the amount of brain plasticity, what a baby is learning right from the first days, it’s amazing. I think about the incredible amount of exploring and joy that a baby experiences, and I love being part of that.”

CDKL5 deficiency is rare, and Khan had to fast track her understanding. Much of what is known is recently discovered and rapidly developing. Reyna’s parents were eager to provide Khan with everything they were turning up in their own research.

“We’ve always felt like a team,” says Khan.

Gaining expertise in Reyna’s condition has aided her in referring the family

ily. McHugh comes from the Fremont School District and is a specialist in home instruction designed for kids who, for medical reasons, are unable to attend school. She has been with Reyna for about four years. “When we started,” says McHugh, “it was difficult to know what she was understanding.”

“She could subtly gesture with her eyes,” says McHugh. “But the real breakthrough came the day I asked her to simply pick out the bigger fish in a kids’ book. ‘Is this the bigger one,’ I asked, and Reyna gently nodded yes.” After that, “I started to see she was understanding letters and numbers.”

to various specialists, including neurologists, dieticians, physical therapists and others. “I really credit Jainu and Shruti,” says Khan. “For the next patient with a similar diagnosis or genetic condition, I’m going to have my roadmap ready.”

One such specialist, Pam Chapin from Lighthouse Little Learners, has been working with Reyna and her vision challenges for nearly two years. She wants to know accurately the quality of Reyna’s vision, how to best develop it, and how her other senses are supporting it.

Because the difference in Reyna’s vision is neural in nature, simply applying the right glasses isn’t the answer. Therefore, Chapin works closely with Reyna’s parents to determine how she uses a combination of eyesight, touch and hearing in both learning and communicating. With this knowledge, updates to Reyna’s eye-gaze tablet can accurately reflect the growth and changes in her vision-related activity.

“The Joganis are a very motivated family,” says Chapin, “and they’re very good at building a community around her.”

A dynamic member of that community is Reyna’s home tutor, Annemarie McHugh—“Miss Annie” to the fam-

The tablet Reyna now uses has made all the difference. “She will bring up topics we didn’t even realize were part of the icon set,” says McHugh. “Last year, we were even able to produce a science project.” McHugh adheres closely to a standard curriculum, but she and Reyna’s parents also work together to expose Reyna to a wider array of topics. “We are happy to investigate whatever she’s interested in.”

It’s not all teachers and doctors, however. Nyesha Bahl, a 14-year-old student from American High has begun her own “big sister” relationship with Reyna. Bahl, a neighbor of the Joganis, was inspired to partner with Reyna out of her experience with a family member with cerebral palsy and her volunteer work at Saanidhaanam in India and Friends of Children with Special Needs.

“My goal is just to have fun with her,” she says.

At the beginning Bahl admits she was “playing it by ear” as she got to know Reyna, but, “our activities are becoming more focused. I work with her parents to come up with things that are exciting and fun.”

Reyna’s future is bright. Current work in gene therapy holds promise and the people around her love her and, though focused on her growth, are also just happy to be part of her daily life.

CIRCLE OF LOVE With a strong community and therapy for her physical and emotional needs, Reyna is loved by many.

Victor Carvellas

SCHOOL’ S IN Working with an eye tracker to communicate, Reyna is learning and developing her own interests.

All Signs: Three major events are happening this week: On Wednesday, we have a New Moon in Pisces. On Friday, Mercury retrograde ends. (Major sigh of relief.) Friday is also the beginning of the astrological birthday for the year, the Spring Equinox when the Sun enters Aries. We will all feel this shift. It will usher in an upbeat energy that is optimistic and hopeful. It’s time to seize every opportunity to get outside and celebrate. As we say goodbye to misunderstandings, technical glitches and delays, a surge of mental clarity will bring reassurance and eager confidence.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This week the astrological new year begins, a signal that your birthday is arriving, because on Friday, the Sun will enter Aries where it will stay for four weeks. The month ahead is an opportunity to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year! Your concern will be more about personal matters rather than the larger world. You will make a great impression on everyone because you’ll have more energy to project yourself and dazzle your world. You might also find a greater than usual need to express yourself.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

Your personal year is coming to an end, which means this is the perfect time to get in touch with your subconscious mind, and discover how it directs your life—like when your actions run counter to your conscious intentions. This is also a good time to look back over the year and see how well you are doing at the art of living. This week Mercury stops being retrograde, so it’s an excellent time to be more proactive about pursuing future goals. Discuss your hopes and dreams with someone to get their feedback.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20): You are entering a six-week window of increased popularity! You’ll be more involved with friends. This is the perfect time to examine your friendships and see how well they fulfill your needs. It also means that for the next month ahead, you are best off working with others. Meanwhile, the big news is your ruler Mercury stops being retrograde this week! This will help you communicate

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

to bosses, parents and VIPs about future goals with more persuasion and conviction. You’ll have a stronger sense of knowing where you want to go.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

This week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year, and symbolizes that you’re being thrust into a flattering spotlight. People will admire you, especially bosses and parents—even if you don’t do anything special. Now is the time to ask for permission or approval. It’s also the time to launch something new. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde ends this week meaning issues related to the law, medicine, publishing and higher education can move forward with more energy and fewer setbacks.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

You need a change of scenery! Sign up for a course or take up a new hobby or study. Your ambitions regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law will be stronger. Starting this week, the various affairs in your life will hum along nicely and your stress level will be lower. You’ll find that you can accomplish more. This week Mercury turns direct, which signals that issues related to banking, credit cards, inheritances, wills and shared property will fall into place.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

This week your ruler Mercury stops being retrograde. It has attracted ex-partners and old friends back into your world, and created problems, confusion and arguments with those closest to you. Thankfully, many of these problems will soon diminish and even disappear. Meanwhile, as the Sun changes signs this week, it might create strong compulsions within you. You’ll have more desire to experience life on a feeling level, not just an intellectual understanding. You might meet someone who prompts some serious self-inquiry. You might also be more concerned with shared property, taxes, debt and insurance.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

You’ll be relieved to know that Mercury retrograde is over this week, which will make a difference to you and your job, your health issues and even how you deal with your pet. For the last six weeks, your work has been bombarded by goofy mistakes and delays. These can be minor but when they add up they wear you down. These delays and mistakes will reduce starting this week, which means your life will run more smoothly. Remember to get more sleep in the next few weeks because you will need it.

Scorpio the Scorpion

(October 23-November 21):

Old flames have been back in your world in the last month either in person, online or in your thoughts and dreams. The influence of Mercury retrograde has also created confusion, misunderstandings

and problems dealing with your kids, as well as romantic partners. Social occasions have been delayed or cancelled. Thankfully, this will all start to fade away, which will make your life easier. Meanwhile, you’re gung-ho to work hard in the next four weeks. By extension, you even want to improve your health.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

This week the Sun moves to the most playful part of your chart to stay for four weeks. Not only will you have a stronger desire to socialize, you will want to get away on a vacation and explore romantic possibilities. Because your creative urges will be heightened, this bodes well for creative activities—painting, drawing, writing, sculpting, dancing, acting. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is over this week, which means silly mistakes and maddening delays related to your home and your family will reduce. This includes equipment breakdowns and misunderstandings with family communications.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

This week a six-week window will begin where your focus on home and family will become stronger. Redecorating projects will appeal because you’re keen to create a safe and welcoming haven for yourself and your family for now and the future. (A worthy endeavour because home and family are strong values for every Capricorn.) The good news is that Mercury retrograde is over this week, which will greatly reduce goofy errors, mixed-up communications, transportation delays, car problems and all kinds of minor headaches that created stress to your daily routine.

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

This week the pace of your days will accelerate. You might take up a new study or grab a vacation. You’ll be more interactive with siblings, friends and neighbors than usual. You might tell someone clearly how you feel. It will be a great time for socializing, as well as working effectively with someone because your goals and objectives will harmonize with theirs. Meanwhile, for the last six weeks, Mercury has been retrograde in your Money House creating delays in money coming to you. All of this will subside.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Life is much easier now that Saturn has left your sign after being there for two and a half years making you feel tired, older and creating problems with your joints, bones and teeth. You’re setting off on a whole new journey where you will re-invent yourself in the next seven years. For the next month, your focus on money and possessions will be stronger. You’ll want to use your possessions to make your life easier. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde has been in your sign for the last six weeks creating delays, indecisiveness and mixed-up communications. That’s over.

WORLD’S LARGEST RODENT

here are more than 2,000 species of rodents around the world.

When you think of rodents, you might picture mice or rats. But the capybara is also a rodent, and it’s the largest one on Earth!

Capybaras are herbivores, which means we only eat plants. And we can eat a lot of grass every day! Circle every other letter to find out how much:

Capybaras are surprisingly big. Here’s how much we can grow:

• Length: 3.2 to 4.2 feet (100–130 cm)

• Height at shoulder: about 1.6 feet (50 cm)

• Weight: 60 to 174 pounds (27–79 kg)

Some people say we look like a barrel with legs! We have long, light-brown hair and no tail. Our feet are slightly webbed, with four toes on each front foot and three on each back foot.

Measure your height and weight and compare yourself to a capybara. Who is taller? Who weighs more?

During dry seasons, we may also eat reeds, grains, melons and squashes.

We capybaras share a clever feature with hippos. Our

How do

Capybaras live near rivers, lakes, and wetlands in Central and South America. Water is important because the plants that capybaras eat grow nearby, and it also helps keep them safe from predators.

Capybaras are strong swimmers and can stay underwater for up to five minutes to hide. Their webbed feet help them paddle through water.

capybaras stay cool?

On hot days, capybaras relax in shallow water or mud to keep our bodies cool. We usually eat when temperatures are cooler, like early morning or evening. But if we feel threatened, we wait until nighttime to find food.

Why do birds sit on capybaras?

You might see birds perched on capybaras’ backs. The birds search for insects in the grass and sometimes pick bugs from a capybara’s fur.

Hold this page up to a mirror to discover something amazing capybaras can do!

Both of us benefit the birds get food, and we capybaras get a little grooming!

Capybarascan sleep in the water. Theykeeptheireyes, ears and nose above the surface.

Look through the newspaper and find six adjectives that describe a capybara. Can you find three that are opinions and three that are facts?

If you were an animal, which animal would you be? Why did you choose that animal?

GERALD “JERRY” GRIFFIN

February 3, 1940 – March 3, 2026

My dad, Gerald “Jerry” Griffin, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2026.

He is survived by Jeannie Clements, his significant other of 29 years; daughter, Alicia Medeiros and her significant other, Johnny Hartwell; grandson, Jesse Callahan and his family Nichol, Mason, Amaya, and Alena; grandson, Andrew Medeiros; grandson, Daniel Griffin; ex-wife, Patricia Griffin; and great-granddaughter, Elena.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Rose Griffin; daughter, Melinda Griffin; grandson, Joseph Medeiros II; son-in-law, Joseph Medeiros; and numerous friends that were dear to him throughout the years.

He was a member of the Sierra Club, the Fremont Freewheelers Bike Club, the Classic Cruisers USA Car Club, the Golden Gate Fiero Club, and the HudsonEssex-Terraplane Club, Northern California Chapter.

He worked at the Newark Post Office in the 80s and 90s and was a member of the Tri-City Chapter of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE). He worked part-time delivering for Fremont Flowers and was an active member of the Tri-City Ecology Center for many years. He was a veteran, having served in the Navy.

Dad loved to talk and tell stories. He often talked at his car shows until he lost his voice. He had a warped sense of humor that many of us inherited from him.

He led walking tours through San Francisco in which he had note cards containing interesting facts during the tour. He could tell which houses had gold fixtures and which one was a former whore house.

When I was a kid he coached my softball team in the Fremont Girls Softball Association.

He participated in foot races sponsored by the San Jose Mercury News and did the Bay to Breakers many times. He said he had run every bridge in the Bay Area.

Dad was always active—hiking, biking, jogging, traveling by himself and later with Jeannie to many national and state parks. Even in his later years he walked miles every week and went to the gym as well.

He loved kids. The neighborhood and daycare kids came running at the sound of his car approaching. I’m told this happened even before I was born.

I always knew I was loved by my dad and he was the first one I called with good news or bad. He will be missed dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Los Cerritos Community Center in Fremont on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 1pm–5pm.

MARY LOU CROSBY

June 19, 1933 – March 9, 2026

Mary Lou Crosby, 92, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2026. Born on June 19, 1933, in Ozark, Arkansas, Mary Lou was raised there before moving to California after her marriage in 1950. She built a life centered on family, creativity, faith, and service to her community.

Mary was married to William “Bill” Crosby for nearly 65 years before his passing eleven years ago. Together, they built a large family and shared a lifetime of memories.

Mary devoted the early years of her life to raising her children and caring for her family. After her children were grown, she began working for the Newark Unified School District, first as a classroom aide and later as a librarian at James Graham Elementary School. She enjoyed working with students and staff and was known for her warm and welcoming presence.

In the Newark community, Mary Lou was affectionately known as the “Cake Lady of Newark.” She had a special talent for baking and decorating cakes for birthdays, weddings, and countless special occasions. Her creations became a cherished part of many family celebrations throughout the community.

Throughout her life, Mary was a devoted member of her church. She began attending Berean Baptist Church in 1969 and continued faithfully when the church later became Bay Area Baptist Church. She could always be counted on to lend a helping hand, especially with Vacation Bible School, church potlucks, and many other church activities. Her faith and willingness to serve others were an important part of her life.

Mary also enjoyed sewing, traveling, and most of all spending time with her family. Whether gathering for holidays, sharing meals, or celebrating milestones, she treasured every moment with those she loved.

She is survived by her children: Deborah Gardner, Virginia Haskins, Janell Crosby, Stephen Crosby, Teresa Scott, Martin Scott Crosby, Michael Crosby, and Gordon Vaughn Crosby.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William “Bill” Crosby, and by her daughter, Marilyn Gay Evetts.

Mary is also survived by ten grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and one great-greatgrandchild, all of whom brought her great pride and joy.

Mary Lou’s legacy lives on through the many lives she touched and the family who will continue to carry her memory forward. She will be remembered for her love, creativity, faith, and the care she shared so generously with others.

She will be dearly missed and forever remembered by those who loved her.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

2025/2026 WINTER CODE UPDATE – CITYWIDE - (PLN2026-00005)

To consider a recommendation from the Planning Commission on text amendments to Fremont Municipal Code Title 17 (Subdivisons) and Title 18 (Planning and Zoning) to clarify and enhance definitions, procedures, and standards related to development and use of property within the City; and to consider exemptions for the proposed amendments from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), each on a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061 (Review for Exemption) and §15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning).

APPLICANT: City of Fremont

PUBLIC HEARING: Notice is hereby given that the Fremont City Council will consider Planning Commission recommendation to approve the proposed text amendments on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 3300 Capitol Avenue, Fremont, California, at which time all interested parties may appear and be heard.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed amendments are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per, each as a separate and independent basis, (1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 in that the amendments do not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, and are not subject to CEQA review; and (2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, as a project consistent with the development densities in the general plan and existing zoning and which does not involve any peculiar significant effects that were not previously analyzed or discussed as significant effects in prior EIRs on the General Plan and/or zoning with which the project is consistent. In addition, there are no previously identified significant effects which are substantially more severe than analyzed in in the prior EIR(s) or cannot be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards applied on a citywide basis. Many of the amendments proposed are necessary to conform the FMC to State law, or are regulations intended to protect the environment. Any conceivable impact of the proposed amendments would be too speculative for reasoned analysis in the absence of specific development proposals.

Any questions or comments on the project should be submitted to:

James Willis, Senior Planner

to San Marin. In the North Coast Section tournament, the Warriors beat San Marin in the semifinals, 49-45, before winning the NCS title.

San Marin began the game with the energy for revenge, completing nearly all shots on basket and getting the early lead.

Mission’s #23, Joseph Standfield, shot back-to-back three pointers along with #1, Nikhil Cidambi, tying the game at 16-16. After a defensive steal, the Warriors took the lead for the first time in the game.

In the second quarter, San Marin lost their touch on the ball, repeatedly missing shots. In the last 50 seconds of the quarter, Mission blocked two Marin plays, leaving Mission in the lead at halftime, 29-23.

Entering the second half, Mission widened their leading gap with free-throws, reaching a 10-point lead, 38-28. However, San Marin began to draw closer.

The final quarter of the game began at a tense 38-35, Mission still gripping the lead. However, San Marin changed their defensive game plan, double teaming strong Warriors players, leaving them little room for a good shot at the basket.

San Marin was given multiple calls and free-throw shots, allowing them to gain a divide on the scoreboard, until Mission’s five-point deficit grew into 10 by the final buzzer, 56-46.

The buzzer signaled the end of the road for Mission San Jose. However,
