City leaders and community members had a discussion on traffic safety at the March 24 Hayward City Council meeting.

Mayor Mark Salinas started the conversation by acknowledging the three women fatally struck by vehicles while walking on crosswalks last month.

“I want to express our sincere sympathies and our condolences to the families who are grieving today,” said Salinas. “When incidents like this happen, it’s a call for more than just words. It’s a call for improvement and it’s a call for action.”

● Bay Area teacher publishes debut book about culture wars

By Connie Cheung

With a historic wave of teacher strikes, impending school closures and falling enrollment for eight consecutive years,

it’s hard not to catastrophize the state of public education in California.

One ongoing crisis regarding political culture wars is the subject of a forthcoming book by Sue Granzella, a Bay

Area teacher who taught in San Lorenzo for nearly 30 years.

In an interview, Granzella described a “steadily increasing pressure” in the teaching profession over the decades, culminating in the grueling shift to online learning during the Covid pandemic. As public opinion began to sour,

Celebrating Mother Earth

Washington Health, the City of Fremont and LEAF partner to observe Earth Day 2026

2026 marks the 56th anniversary of Earth Day, a worldwide movement begun to bring attention to environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity and preserving natural ecosystems. It’s the 15th year Washington Health (WH) has partnered with the City of Fremont to raise awareness of these important issues in its annual Earth Day Fair. Joined this year by Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont (LEAF), the 2025 celebration will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, at the Fremont Downtown Event Center and Plaza.

Community Focus

“The Earth Day Fair will focus on sustainability, good environmental stewardship, and our impact on the environment, with indoor and outdoor exhibits, eco-friendly experts and practical tips for a ‘greener’ lifestyle,” shared WH Community Outreach Manager Kayla Gupta. “To support those goals, Washington Health will offer a number of activities and education to help community members become more eco-conscious.”

Gupta said while her department participates in a variety of community engagement programs during the year, Earth Day is one of her favorites because it includes working with community partners to provide services and education to promote a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future.

“As in the past, Washington Health will provide document shredding in partnership with Corodata and medication take-back in conjunction with Inmar Intelligence and Alameda County,” Gupta noted. “We will also accept sharps (needles and syringes in approved containers) so community members can safely dispose of these items.

We want to make ‘going green’ as easy for our community as possible,” she continued. “We want to make sure medical waste is disposed of correctly so it doesn’t cause harm. We don’t want these items, which are potentially very dangerous, to end up in a landfill. This is an important step in promoting environmental sustainability and being conscious of how our actions impact the environment.”

Food for Thought

WH Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) Director Matthew Sciamanna, RD, will also be back for this year’s festivities, bringing information on local product sourcing and sustainability.

Sciamanna said he will host a booth to share information about waste reduction, healthy eating and ways his department works to give back to the community.

“Washington Health has a long, active history of community involvement, not only in providing health care, but also as a leader in observing sustainable food production and taking care of our environment,”

Sciamanna said. “We take our responsibility to our community very seriously, which is why we try to purchase our food from local sources, such as livestock from the 4H youth at the county fair, as much as possible.”

He noted his department has been working to streamline both their production and waste management.

“We are continuing our program to capture and recycle plastics,” Sciamanna explained. “This could be anything from an apple juice container or a plastic container for produce. We’ve developed training for all FNS staff to identify which containers are recyclable, and we’re keeping these items out of the landfill.”

Sciamanna said FNS has also cut down on food waste by using more strategic buying strategies, noting the department has a duty to think about the flow of food it purchases, prepares and distributes.

“Part of our role as a team that prepares food for the public and for patients is thinking about the whole process in a linear fashion,” he said. “From the moment we procure it, we’re thinking of conservation. We work to ensure we are keeping tight controls on what we’re ordering, making sure we’re not ordering too much and causing additional waste. Then we work to not overproduce once we get products. After production, we’re in the capture phase, where we gather items up that might have been overproduced.”

In the last year, WH has donated 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of excess food to Union City-based Daily Bowl, a

nonprofit organization that recovers surplus edible fresh and prepared food destined for waste. They immediately distribute that food to receiving agencies who serve the hungry and vulnerable in Alameda County. The hospital has also donated shelf-stable supplies to disaster relief agencies that in the past would have been thrown away.

Family Eco-Tainment

While the commitment WH and the City of Fremont have toward a more sustainable future will continue long after the celebration ends, they’ve made sure the 55th anniversary Earth Day celebration includes something for everyone.

“In addition to document shredding, medication and sharps drop-off, community members can drop off prescription eyeglasses and bring in old mercury thermometers to exchange,” Gupta said. “Our FNS Department will share tips on healthy eating and waste reduction, and other booths will have information on clean water and reducing energy use.

“There will also be entertainment, music, games and art activities,” she added. “This is a day to celebrate the resources we have here in Fremont and learn more about what all of us can do to help our environment.”

Supporting the Full Continuum of Women’s Health

Washington Health Welcomes New Chief of Women’s Services, Alissa Erogbogbo, MD

When Alissa Erogbogbo, MD, FACOG, joined Washington Health in late February, she immediately focused on listening, getting to know the staff, the nurses, the neighborhoods and the diverse community she now serves. That intentional start reflects her philosophy of care: understand first, then build services that meet patients where they are. For Dr. Erogbogbo, women’s health is not defined by a single moment, but by a lifelong journey, and she wants Washington Health to be the place that supports that journey every step along the way.

“We want every woman to know that this is their home for every stage of reproductive health. Whether you’re starting birth control, navigating perimenopause or menopause, or seeking support beyond that, we’re here for your entire journey. You never have to look elsewhere because everything you need is right here.”

That continuum of care is especially important in one of the most diverse regions in California. Dr. Erogbogbo noted that diversity shapes both patient experiences and expectations. Many patients have historically felt underrepresented or unheard in health care, and she believes addressing that begins with open, respectful communication at every touchpoint, from clinicians and nurses to front office staff.

“Our clinicians understand the mindset that contributes to bias in care,” she explained. “They are preventing biases by maintaining a direct line of clear communication between patients and health care staff. When patients feel heard, trust begins to grow.”

Building that trust also means expanding how care is delivered.

For Dr. Erogbogbo, that means community partnerships and innovative collaborations that support women and birthing people beyond traditional clinical encounters.

“We want to know our community and the patients we serve,” she said. “We want to grow partnerships, explore innovation in care delivery, and tap into opportunities – from medical technology to clinical studies. It’s about educating our patients and continuing to educate ourselves as physicians.”

Spreading the word

Community outreach plays a central role in that effort. For instance, the development of the Maternal Child Advisory Council by Director of Maternal Child Health, Nneka Chukwu, DNP. It was formed to promote safe, inclusive, and compassionate care for every birthing person and family. Bringing together clinicians, frontline staff, nurses, community members, and others.

Dr. Erogbogbo believes more opportunities like this is what brings the clinical and patient communities together.

“There are many milestones in a woman’s life, and all of them deserve recognition,” she shared. “Starting birth control, planning a family, navigating menopause are all important transitions. They shouldn’t be hush-hush. They should be celebrated, supported and discussed openly.”

Women first

Dr. Erogbogbo’s passion for women’s health traces back to her own academic journey. She completed a rigorous seven-year, dual-degree program, earning both her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and her doctor of medicine from Chicago Medical School. The experience shaped her approach to care by blending analytical thinking with empathy and emotional understanding.

“That program helped me understand the engineering aspect of medicine along with the physical and emotional,” she said. “It gave me a unique perspective on problem-solving and patient care.”

She ultimately chose OB-GYN because of her fascination with women’s health and her desire to support patients across all aspects of their reproductive journey, clinical and surgical. Her approach is inclusive, recognizing that reproductive care extends across genders and identities.

“OB-GYN is the foundation that supports so many parts of health care,” Dr. Erogbogbo explained. “We have generalists, hospitalists, and specialists. We support patients across different gender norms and experiences. That breadth is exciting and meaningful.”

Listening with intent

Her commitment to community engagement aligns closely with Washington Health’s mission. Dr. Erogbogbo emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement as essential components of modern health care.

“In health care, remaining static is not an option; progress requires adaptability and continuous evolution,” she said. “Wherever my work leads me, my goal is to create meaningful impact. Achieving that requires a broad, strategic perspective and a commitment to serving the needs of the entire community, which includes, patients, physicians, nurses and all team members.”

“There are many milestones in a woman’s life, and all of them deserve recognition.”

Alissa Erogbogbo, MD

Alissa Erogbogbo, MD

Ultimately, her vision centers on trust, inclusivity and comprehensive care. She acknowledges that trust takes time to build, but believes transparency, education and compassion can strengthen relationships between providers and patients.

“Every woman approaches her health differently,” she noted. “We have to be open-minded and willing to take that journey with them. I want people to understand that Washington Health is working to make sure everyone is taken care of, that no one is left behind.”

Through collaboration, education and a commitment to the full continuum of women’s health, Dr. Erogbogbo hopes to ensure that every patient feels supported, informed and empowered at every stage of life.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Women who’ve been sexually abused are not victims, but survivors. The narrative about women seems to never end. Women are put in place, silenced and told they’re not enough. And instead of retaliating with mean words or violence, women choose to speak with kindness and say there is room for happiness, love and success for everyone, no matter what gender, race, sexuality, class and immigration status. That spirit is evident today. We should all take the time to listen and support women who are affected by the allegations, although painful at first.

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.

Sometimes eggs go chirp

● Accessible egg hunt brings joy to visually impaired children

By Monika Lee

Egg hunts are one of the most joyful events for children as they race through the grass looking for hidden treasures.

The LightHouse Little Learners (LLL) program hosts a chirping egg hunt so blind and visually impaired children can also experience this joy. This year it was held at the California School for the Blind in Fremont on Saturday, March 21.

Plastic eggs were fitted with tiny battery-operated devices chirping away like a chorus of songbirds beckoning the children. Blind or visually impaired peo-

ple often rely on a heightened sense of hearing in their daily lives, and the chirping egg hunt celebrates that strength. The children feel for the eggs in the grass with their hands or white canes.

“Having community events like this egg hunt is one of the ways LLL helps families build community,” said Pam Chapin, director of LLL. “Our goal for this event is just to create a fun, accessible community experience for the families.”

Baskets with chirping eggs were suspended in the air for children in wheelchairs. There were also craft tables, including a plant potting experience where kids used their sense of touch to plant a flower and take it home. Books were available that had both words and braille so parents who didn’t know braille could read the book together with their child.

Families frequently describe these events as emotional. One parent who

was at the March 21 event said, “The Beeper Egg Hunt was a fun and intimate event where we connected with other Bay Area families who have children with visual impairments. My older daughter [H.] guided her little sister L.’s hands towards the beeping eggs in hanging Easter baskets—such a fun and creative idea!”

The parent continued, “We also had the pleasure of meeting another family with a daughter who has the same genetic disorder as L. We shared our experiences and provided them with information about the Facebook TUBA1A [a rare genetic disorder] community page and our TUBA1A nonprofit organization’s page. I hope this will help guide the family to additional support and resources, given how rare the disorder is.”

LLL services are provided at no cost to families and are designed to help

young children from birth to age three. The LLL service area covers about 10 counties in California, and they served over 300 families in 2025.

“It’s always best to start this program with the children as young as possible,” said Chapin, “because once they turn three their vision teacher is going to be through the school district and not the early intervention system. Then the focus is very different. It’s not in the home; it’s not focused on a whole family. It’s focused on classroom instruction. Whereas we’re focused on relationships, the most important people in their lives, going out into the community…we show parents how to be the best advocate for their baby as they’re growing up.”

Headquartered in San Francisco, LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired has provided education, training, advocacy and community for blind individuals since 1902. For more information visit lighthouse-sf.org.

WHEEL IN Raised baskets allowed kids in wheelchairs to participate in the hunt as well.

Emmalaine Berry ALL EARS Blind children develop their sense of hearing to navigate daily life, and games like the chirping egg hunt help them improve this skill.

Veteran San Lorenzo educator to speak at Hayward book event in April

— Continued from page 1 teachers who were once hailed as heroes were suddenly “getting blamed really heavily on the heels of the hardest thing we had ever done,” Granzella said.

This tension reached a breaking point in 2022 when a right-wing extremist group interrupted “Drag Story Hour” at the San Lorenzo Library. The men allegedly menaced children, librarians and parents with slurs and aggressive behavior before being escorted out by police officers. The incident “catapulted” the former teacher to interview educators across the state, recording their experiences with vitriolic culture clashes.

“People are doing the best they can to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated as part of society,” Granzella said. “To have such a blatant disregard for that, a blatant desire to shut it down… I was just outraged.”

The resulting book, Pushed to the Edge: Teachers’ Stories from the Culture Wars, collects the experiences of educators who responded to her requests for interviews, alongside Granzella’s own stories from decades of teaching low-income students at a Title I school.

Set against the backdrop of wildfires, the pandemic and tense contract negotiations, the text captures a state of heightened fear, stress and impending disaster for teachers. While some might argue that framing the situation as a “war” risks caricaturing an enemy and adding fuel to an already inflamed climate, Granzella embraces an ethos

of compassion and admiration for her students and colleagues.

To her, education should equip children to coexist with people who are different. “We’re tilling the soil with our kids to prepare them—just like you prepare soil—to learn about the bigness of the world,” she said.

Granzella recalled a “piercing and important moment” when a young boy

came out to his mother as transgender and remarked: “I always thought that everybody felt bad getting dressed for the day.” Without spaces for open conversation and acceptance, Granzella reflected, “How would a child not know that?…Kids need to know it’s ok to be who they are.”

The process of researching the book also expanded Granzella’s world

in unexpected ways. After shelving an earlier project of compiling light-hearted personal essays from her career, Granzella embarked on this multi-year effort. It would sometimes take an hour of research to write a single sentence for the book, she said.

“I felt such a responsibility to the people I had connected with. A number of them were very vulnerable. They were willing to talk with me,” Granzella said. “I really felt a responsibility to do everything in my power to make it happen because they had trusted me.”

Throughout the difficult journey of querying publishers and marketing her book, the debut author persevered by reminding herself: “This is not about you. This is about your commitment to get stories out there to help teachers and kids.”

Ultimately, Pushed to the Edge serves as a reminder of the power and energy that arises from stepping beyond the limits of one’s own experience. As she kicks off her book tour, Granzella describes publication as an unexpected milestone.

“I would be stunned if I wrote another book. I cannot believe how hard this was… It was a great life-enriching experience.”

San Leandro chooses James Aguilar to fill District 2 seat

● Aguilar brings school board experience and plans to focus on budget

By Roelle Balan

San Leandro City Council chose a young, passionate and energetic leader to serve the city during a time of political turmoil and to mend a divided council. Since Bryan Azevedo pleaded guilty to federal charges last month, including accepting bribes and lying to federal investigators, the council has been looking for a replacement. High school teacher, union organizer

and former school board member James Aguilar was chosen to become the San Leandro City Councilmember for District 2. He will be sworn in on April 6. The district covers the Bay Fair shopping area and BART station.

The city council held interviews on March 23. In order to qualify, the person had to be a registered voter and be a resident of the district for which they are applying. Other candidates included a county worker, business owner, a therapist, activist, former commissioner and former city councilmember.

“I consider myself a big picture systems thinker,” said Aguilar in his introduction, “seeking out solutions at every corner to the issues that we have before

us, and someone that can bridge ideas and people together. If I am able to serve beside you I hope to work to bring the council to consensus leadership and effective governance. Address the budget deficit facing our city.”

He said his primary drive to serve as city council member is the city budget crisis. One of his solutions is to invest in young people and young families.

The second is working with city partners who have the resources to offer grants. His third solution to the budget is to “authentically” collaborate with local businesses and have them at the table when making city decisions that involve them.

Aguilar spoke about barriers of being

a young leader, especially when he ran for a position as a San Leandro school board member at 18 years old.

“When I first walked for the role, I had doors shut in my face,” he said. “I had people tell me, ‘Oh, you’re too young for that. You need to go step down and learn something.’ That’s been a narrative all my adult life so far.” Aguilar served as a school board member for San Leandro Unified School District from 2018 to 2025.

A retiree said at the council meeting that he worked with Aguilar in union organizing. “James has a tremendous amount of energy,” he said. “He is a very affable person, very easy to work with, very concerned with issues of equity, very inclusive.”

solutions. One immediate solution is “quick-builds.” They are plastic barriers used to protect street corners, bike paths and to prevent parking in certain areas. Other quick fixes include yield symbols, signs that tell drivers they’re approaching a crosswalk, and “No Turn on Red” signs.

Tang said the changes have already been made to the highest-injury spot, which is Tennyson Road and Baldwin Street. One of the traffic deaths from last month happened at this intersection.

City staff is planning on applying for a federal grant that would help expedite street safety and lane improvements on Tennyson Road from Mission Boulevard to Ruus Road. Tang said ideally construction would start in 2028 or 2029. Tennyson Road is listed multiple times on the city’s highest-injury network list.

Members of the street safety group Bike Hayward reiterated their five demands and said they are glad the city is already implementing some of them. The demands can be viewed on the group’s website at bikehayward.org/ss4h.

Councilmember George Syrop’s staff direction is to review the Bike Hayward demands. “It’s the folks who are living in these neighborhoods that ride through them everyday, that I think really have an intimate understanding of the solutions that would work,” he said.

Other demands are to include lane narrowing (aka, “road diets”), intersection daylighting and spending Measure BB funds on protected bike lanes and enhanced crossings.

East Bay’s historic year comes to an honorable end

● Cal State Pioneers return to the Bay with full support

By April Ramos

Hayward’s Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) men’s basketball season has come to a close.

On Wednesday, March 25, Cal State East Bay played in the NCAA Division II National Championship in Pittsburg. The team fell to Oklahoma Baptists in the Elite Eight bracket.

At the top of the game East Bay started off strong, but the Oklahoma Baptists were able to stack on points in a 8-2 run, followed by a 9-0 run. By halftime the Pioneers were at a 20-point deficit, 48-28. In the second half the Pioneers cut the deficit to 17 points but weren’t able to close the gap, ending the game at 78-55.

Although the Pioneers’ season comes to a close with a loss, the historic winning streak the team leaves behind will not soon be forgotten. The Pioneers won their conference at 22-0 and the NCAA Division II West Regional at 33-0, marking a huge comeback from the team’s 11-17 overall record just last year.

It’s tough for first-time buyers in the region’s hypercompetitive, pricey market, but being persistent, going up in price and writing a heartfelt letter to the seller can be effective strategies, agents and homebuyers said.

Pioneers welcomed the team back to their Hayward campus as they returned from Pittsburg. With the warm reception, the school’s community rallied around the team to show their support and pride.

CSUEB president Cathy Sandeen commented on the team’s social media post, “It’s moments like these that show why we’re so proud to be PIONEERS. Thank you for such a spectacular season.”

Other fans shared their support, saying, “They have so much to be proud of,” “What a great team who supported each other” and “A historic season! As a proud alum this team was fun to follow.”

The hard work of their historic season was noticed by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Not only was head coach Bryan Rooney awarded Coach of the Year, NABC senior guard Tyree Campbell was also recognized by the association with the Division II Player of the Year award.

“There were about eight other offers on the house,” Wong said. “First we offered $850,000, then we bumped it up to $860,000, then we sent a letter saying how much the house would mean to us.”

Regarding the letter, longtime Bay Area Realtor Anna May said, “Sellers don’t always take the highest offer. Sending a letter can make a difference.”

Wong and Law explained to the seller that they wanted to raise their children in the house in San Lorenzo, and included a photo of themselves with their dog Cumba.

The two landed a single-family home, but buying a condominium can also be a good strategy for first-time buyers, who generally have less money to throw at a purchase.

As of early 2026, the median price for a California condo was roughly $638,000 compared to $850,680 for a single-family dwelling, according to the California Association of Realtors.

“For someone who has no children and doesn’t need a yard, this can be a great option,” May said.

It’s important for condo buyers to do their homework and check to see if the homeowners association has maintained adequate reserves, May said. “A lot of condo associations don’t keep their accounts solid.” Also, HOA fees can offset any initial price saving.

Homes with deferred maintenance are another option. While it might seem counterintuitive, if a home’s interior is not freshly painted, that can actually be a good thing, May said. “It shows the seller isn’t hiding anything” such as water stains from leakage, the agent said.

Of course, some deferred maintenance can be prohibitively expensive to fix. “It’s good to have your inspector go in and look at a home even if it’s brand new,” May said.

California has first-time homebuyer programs including the California Housing First Agency (CalFHA) program that are worth checking out. However, there are stringent income requirements, the Realtor noted.

“Consult with your lender and your Realtor to see if you qualify,” May said. A last couple tips: “Don’t get too attached when looking at a house,” said Wong.

“In your head you say, ‘Oh, I can see our family living here,’ but your hopes could get shot down if they get a better offer,” he said.

Persistence is the main thing, Wong said.

“Just keep going,” he said. “It’s worth it.

Turning passion into purpose

● How Raj Rai is changing lives at the Tri-Cities Career Center

Submitted by Eve Marie Little

Raj Rai has been driven by a passion for helping others for as long as she can remember. As a child of Panjabi immigrants, she entered kindergarten without knowing any English. Like many first-generation students, she spent years figuring out through trial and error, making mistakes and learning what works thanks to those around her who helped her along the way.

Wanting to find a way to give back, she dreamed of becoming an English teacher and pursued that goal at San José State University before realizing that a degree in communications would better align with her ambitions.

Rai found her calling in 2020 when she joined the Tri-Cities Career Center as an employer and entrepreneurial intern. Today, she serves as interim program manager, leading a team of nine to help individuals navigate today’s challenging job market.

Many people assume the center is only for enrolled Ohlone College students, when its services are available to anyone in Alameda County. Others believe it only offers entry-level opportunities, but the center works with companies across the region to fill positions at all experience levels. Perhaps most surprising to some is that all services are completely free, including resume writing, mock interviews, paid training opportunities and more.

The past few years have been especially difficult for job seekers. The covid-19 pandemic caused widespread job loss and forced many career fairs to move online or be canceled altogether. Rai quickly noticed how deeply job seekers and employers alike missed face-toface interaction, which is why the center is also prioritizing the return of in-person job fairs.

Community members can contact Raj Rai at CareerCenter@ohlone.edu or visit Ohlone College’s Newark office Thursdays from 11am to 12pm. More information at ohlone.edu/careercenter.

FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 31, 2026

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

BY GEORGIA NICOLS georgianicols.com

All Signs: Two notable events this week: On Monday, Venus enters Taurus introducing a four-week window that encourages peace, diplomacy, an appreciation of the arts, plus sensuous romance. On Wednesday, April Fools’ Day, we have the Full Moon in Libra opposing the Sun in Aries. Keep your eyes open and check things out before you act. Nevertheless, with Mercury retrograde over, everyone wants to act! Issues that have been simmering on the back burner are falling into place. Because things are starting to move fast, you have to know what you want.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This is a strong week for you because the Sun in your sign lets you recharge. As a result, you project yourself with more dazzle! It’s important to acknowledge your need to express yourself. On Wednesday, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place, possibly provoking tension with others. This tension will slowly increase until Wednesday, and then afterwards it dissolves. On Monday, fair Venus moves into your Money House making you want to buy pretty things for yourself and others.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

Lucky you! This week your ruler Venus moves into your sign to stay for almost four weeks. This is a blessing because it will increase your diplomacy and charm. (This is the perfect time to make your peace with someone.) Look for ways to enjoy vacations and socializing with friends because Venus ranks pleasure above work. Nevertheless, fiery Mars will urge you to formulate and pursue goals. Look for ways to coordinate your needs with those of others to get things done. Physical activity, especially competitive sports, will please you.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

A popular week! Everyone wants to see your face. And they will because with Mars high in your chart, your ambition is aroused. But this determination to achieve your objective might put you in conflict with authority figures. Fortunately, Mercury is also high in your chart, making this an excellent time to talk to employers and people in authority. You might talk them into a raise or

a promotion. Meanwhile, Venus has moved into a hidden part of your chart promoting secret love affairs. Venus can also make you more selfless and compassionate.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

The Sun at the top of your chart is casting you in a flattering spotlight making you look attractive—especially to bosses, parents and VIPs. This is why you might be approached to take on increased responsibilities. Whatever it is, say yes. (Remember: you won’t have to do anything special. People are impressed with you.) In fact, this year, you’re proud of your achievements, although you do have many responsibilities. Your new challenge is knowing your life direction because there’s an element of confusion in the picture.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

This week fair Venus moves to the top of your chart to stay for almost four weeks. This is a blessing! For one thing, it creates favorable circumstances in your business and professional life. Bosses will look kindly upon you. You will be asked to give your opinion about artistic matters— design, layout, office redecorating or websites. Romance with a boss or authority figure might begin. Meanwhile, you need a change of scenery. If you can’t travel then explore your own city. Do something to shake up your world.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

You might be surprised at how emotional you’ll feel about financial matters, especially wills, inheritances and shared property. If this is the case, problems related to these issues will increase until the Full Moon on Wednesday. Then after the Full Moon peaks, inexplicably, these same problems will diminish or disappear. Another thing that might be challenging is fiery Mars is opposite your sign right now, which makes you easily annoyed. Another aspect in your chart shows that you want to travel and get more out of life. Do it!

Libra the Scales

(September 23-October 22):

Remember to get more sleep in the next few weeks while the Sun opposes your sign. This week in particular, the Full Moon will take place in your sign on Wednesday. That means that in the next few days, your problems will intensify— especially with those who are closest to you. Hang in there because after the Full Moon peaks on Wednesday, these same problems will diminish. Therefore, don’t overreact to things at the beginning of the week. Fortunately, gifts, goodies and favors will come to you.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

This week favors you because you’re keen to work. And you’ll find it easy because you’re motivated, and you have the necessary energy to follow through. This means you’ll feel proud about your accomplishments. (This is a work hard/

party hard week.) What makes this an especially favorable time however, is that fair Venus has moved opposite your sign to stay for the next four weeks smoothing the way for your relations with everyone, especially spouses, partners and dear friends. This position of Venus is the best for all relationships.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

The gods are smiling on you this week, which is why you want fun and pleasure. Accept invitations to socialize. Enjoy the arts. Get involved in sports events. Playful activities with children will delight. Grab every chance to express your creative talents. (Admittedly, some kind of chaos or increased activity on the home front will require attention.) But this week, fair Venus has moved into your work sector, which means relations with coworkers will be excellent for the next four weeks. In fact, they’ll be so cozy, you might begin a work-related romance.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Your focus on home and family is strong. You might be more involved with a parent. Certainly, you know that at this stage in your life, you want to secure a home base that will be a refuge for you and your family. Fortunately, conversations with others will be productive because you are persuasive! Meanwhile, this week fair Venus moves into the most fun-loving, romantic part of your chart promoting concerts, museums, art galleries, parties and socializing. Love relationships are favored. Creative activities are blessed. Sports and interaction with children will be rewarding.

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

This week you have the mental energy to explore many fields. You’ll enjoy talking to siblings, relatives and neighbors because you want to share ideas. You might sign up for a course because you want to learn more. Meanwhile, you’re looking for ways to boost your income, and you’re spending money as well. This could be because you’re entertaining at home. Be patient with others, especially midweek when the Full Moon might trigger arguments. Steer clear of controversial subjects. Continue to improve your job or look for a better one.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Don’t hesitate to speak up this week because with Mercury in your sign, you will put a great deal of yourself into whatever you have to say. Mercury will also make your mind move fast. Fiery Mars is also in your sign, pushing you to assert yourself. (It will also make you competitive.) Plus, Mars will boost your physical energy and help you to get things done. Venus is now in your House of Communications helping you to appreciate your everyday surroundings. You’ll enjoy short trips, beautiful scenery—and be more sensitive to the feelings of others.

Photo exhibit highlights work from 50 local photographers

● Fremont Main Library holds opening night reception April 4

By Arathi Satish

Fremont Cultural Arts Council (FCAC), Fremont Photographic Society and the City of Fremont are sponsoring the 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibit. The exhibit will open on Saturday, April 4, and the photographs selected by the panel of judges will be on display at the Fremont Main Library during library hours until Saturday, May 8.

A panel of judges selected photographs based on quality, creativity and originality. “The show drew an impressive range of entries from both students and adults,” said Rajeev Shankar, event chairperson. “With more than 50 photographers participating, the exhibit received far more submissions than could be displayed, underscoring the depth of interest in the visual arts.”

He continued, “Submissions spanned vivid landscapes, intimate portraits and inventive abstracts with many photographers using everyday scenes as their subjects. Student photographers demonstrated a sharp eye for storytelling and mood, while adult entrants brought a refined technical skill and personal perspective to their work. Together, the images offer a vibrant visual snapshot of life in Fremont and highlight the power of photography to connect generations.”

The jury members decided the awards, and visitors at the opening night reception will vote to select the winner of the People’s Choice Award. Winning photographs will be displayed on the FCAC website fremontculturalartscouncil.org.

PUBLI C NOTICES

Notices Regarding Production of Groundwater Public Hearing for Proposed Replenishment Assessment

A public hearing on the replenishment assessment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 will be held at 6:00 P.M. on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Members of the public may participate in this meeting either in person at the District office at 43885 South Grimmer Boulevard, Fremont, or via webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84841469474?pwd=obQRZTJUs2DAAGps3uYVY2u8B1a7BK.1 (Meeting ID: 848 4146 9474; Passcode: 530212), or by calling any of the following numbers: 1-669-900-9128 or 1-346-248-7799 or 1-301-715-8592

(Meeting ID: 848 4146 9474; Passcode: 530212)

For Fiscal Year 2026/27, Alameda County Water District (ACWD) staff is proposing no increase in the replenishment assessment rate for groundwater pumped or extracted for purposes other than agricultural and municipal recreation. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2026, the rate would remain at $557 per acre-foot of groundwater extracted. Only property owners with a well, well owners, and operators of wells (or other groundwater extraction facilities) within the ACWD-managed Niles Cone Groundwater Basin would be affected by this rate It does not apply to the rates and charges for water served to residences and businesses by ACWD’s distribution system. The basis for the proposed continuation of the current rate is set forth in the 2026 Survey Report on Groundwater Conditions (Survey Report) and Resolution 26-005, which are available for review at the ACWD Headquarters. They can also be found on-line by doing the following steps:

To access the Survey report:

1. Visit us at: https://www.acwd.org/

2. At the top, click on “Services”

3. In the list on the left side, click on “Groundwater Resources”

4. Click on “Groundwater Management”

5. Click on “Annual Survey Report on Groundwater Conditions”

6. Click on “Annual Survey Report”

To access Resolution No. 26-005:

1. Visit us at https://www.acwd.org

2. At the top, click on “About Us”

3. Click on “News and Information”

4. Click on “Public Notices”

5. Click on “Resolution No. 26-005”

Revenue from the replenishment assessment helps ACWD offset its costs to replenish and maintain groundwater supplies for the benefit of the users of the groundwater basin. Prior increases in the replenishment assessment rate for production for purposes other than agricultural and municipal recreation, along with grant funding, have enabled ACWD to make substantial upgrades and repairs to aging recharge facilities and to render them in compliance with the Endangered Species Act. For next fiscal year, revenue generated under the current replenishment assessment rate, adopted on April 8, 2025, through Resolution No. 25-018, along with other funding, is expected to be sufficient to cover groundwater basin expenses and fixed and capital costs. Capital items will include projects devoted to water supply and conveyance for groundwater replenishment, and other improvements identified in the Capital Improvement Program for the groundwater basin, as described in the Survey Report. The water supply and conveyance initiatives are critical to ensure reliability of sources of groundwater replenishment for the long-term as each of the District’s sources is subject to future uncertainties related to climate change and regulatory and environmental pressures.

You are invited to attend the public hearing, to be heard in support of or opposition of the replenishment assessment, the Survey Report, or the Board determination in Resolution No. 26-005 that a replenishment assessment is required. In addition, if you wish to comment on the replenishment assessment rate or Survey Report, you may submit a written comment by mail or online to:

Written comments, including online, must be received by ACWD by 5:00 PM on April 14, 2026 Under state law, there is a 120day statute of limitations for challenging any new, increased, or extended fee or charge.

Extension of Deadline of Metering Low Producing Groundwater Production Facilities

On February 12, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Alameda County Water District, adopted Resolution No. 26-006 which extended the deadline to install water measuring devices (flow totalizers) on groundwater-producing facilities (e.g., wells), located within the jurisdiction of Alameda County Water District, and which produce such low volumes of water that the cost of metering would not be justified by the replenishment assessment revenue that would be generated within a reasonable period of time. The new deadline is March 9, 2027. For more information, contact ACWD at 510-668-4412

IMMIGRATION

Options for H-1B visa holders facing layoffs

● Workers should keep in mind 60-day grace period to find new employment or change status to a different visa type

By Barbara Wong

Layoffs can be particularly stressful for workers on H-1B visas because their legal status in the United States is tied to their employment. When a job ends, the immigration consequences can be immediate and complex. However, H-1B workers who lose their jobs still have several options to remain in the United States or maintain lawful status while seeking new opportunities. Understanding these options is crucial to making informed decisions during an uncertain time.

The 60-Day Grace Period

One of the most important protections for H-1B workers is the 60-day grace period provided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). When employment ends, most H-1B visa holders have up to 60 days, or until the end of their authorized stay on the I-94 record, whichever comes first, to take action.

During this grace period, individuals can remain in the United States while they search for new employment,

change visa status or prepare to depart the country. If a new employer files an H-1B petition during this period, the worker may be able to continue working under the H-1B portability rule once the petition is properly filed, rather than waiting for approval.

Note however, the grace period is not guaranteed in every situation, and workers should act quickly. Consulting an immigration attorney can help ensure that all filings occur within the allowed timeframe.

Transferring the H-1B to a New Employer

The most common option after a layoff is finding a new employer willing to sponsor the H-1B visa. This process is often called an H-1B transfer, although technically it is a new petition filed by a new employer. If the new employer files the petition before the 60-day grace period expires, the worker can typically begin working as soon as the petition is filed with USCIS, thanks to the H-1B portability provision. This allows workers to avoid long employment gaps.

Importantly, the new job must still qualify as a specialty occupation, and the employer must comply with standard H-1B requirements, including submitting a Labor Condition Application (LCA) and meet the prevailing and actual wage requirements imposed by the H-1B visa category.

Changing to Another Visa Status

Some laid-off H-1B workers may choose to change their immigration status

instead of immediately finding another H-1B employer. Several options may be available depending on the individual’s background and goals. For example, individuals may apply for a B-1/B-2 visitor visa to extend their stay temporarily. Others may transition to F-1 student status to pursue further education. Entrepreneurs may explore options such as O-1 visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or E-2 investor visas if they qualify through nationality and investment requirements.

Changing status can provide additional time in the United States, but each option has specific eligibility rules and limitations. Careful planning is essential before submitting a changeof-status application.

Starting the Green Card Process

For some H-1B workers, a layoff may prompt them to accelerate plans for permanent residency. If a green card process has already started, particularly if the worker has an approved I-140 immigrant petition, there may be additional flexibility. In certain cases, workers with an approved I-140 may extend their H-1B status beyond the usual sixyear limit.

Additionally, if the adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days, job portability provisions may allow a change to a similar occupation without restarting the entire process. Understanding the stage of the green card process is critical in determining what options are available after a layoff.

Leaving the United States and Reentering Later

Barbara Wong

If none of the above options are feasible within the grace period, leaving the United States may be necessary but note that the $100,000 H-1B fee may apply. While this can be difficult, it does not prevent a worker from returning later. A new employer can still file an H-1B petition for the worker and pay the $100,000 fee without being subject to the H-1B lottery again if the individual was previously counted against the cap. Once the petition is approved, the worker can apply for a visa stamp at a U.S. consulate and reenter the United States.

Although layoffs create uncertainty for H-1B visa holders, several pathways exist to maintain lawful status or return to the United States. The 60-day grace period, H-1B transfers, visa status changes, green card portability and future reentry options all provide potential solutions. Acting quickly and seeking professional guidance can help workers navigate these choices effectively and protect their long-term immigration prospects.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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 (916) 9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 24-01985A 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid 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.
