Hayward formalizes additional Sister City

● Partnership with Arandas, Mexico culminates seven years of planning

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

At its May 6 meeting, the Hayward City Council authorized the mayor to enter into a formal Sister City agreement with Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico— marking the culmination of years of community-led efforts.

“This partnership will help with our cultural and linguistic exchange, which I believe is very important especially now,” said Janett Hernandez, chair of the Hayward/Arandas Sister City Committee.

The agreement outlines a mutual commitment to collaboration in education, culture, humanitarian work and economic development. It also affirms the cities’ intent to abide by Sister Cities International (SCI) policies, which provide guidance for forming and maintaining such partnerships.

The Hayward/Arandas Sister City Committee has been working toward this relationship since 2018. In 2020, the city’s fire department donated

May means Charlie Chaplin Days

By staﬀ

The Little Tramp returns to Niles for the 2025

Charlie Chaplin Days on May 16–18: a weekend of films, trips and of course a Chaplin lookalike contest.

For those unfamiliar with the history of Niles Essanay Film Studio, the festival kicks off with an evening program on Fri-

day, May 16: “The Little Tramp Comes to Niles—How did he get here?” Two Niles-made films with Chaplin cameos will be screened, and Chaplin experts Dominique Dugros and Marc Wanamaker will speak on the life of actress Oona Neil, both before and after her involvement with Chaplin.

Saturday’s activities include two diesel train rides through

Niles Canyon, and a morning walking tour of Niles. A lineup of films at the Nickleodean theater to mark the 110th anniversary of Chaplin’s time at Niles, including an evening screening of The Gold Rush (1925).

For programs, Chaplin expert Nigel Dreiner discusses two short films where Charlie creates havoc on movie sets, and in the afternoon Marc Wanamaker shares behind-the-scenes images and tales of the Chaplin studio and Old Hollywood.

Robotic Surgery Sets a New Standard in Precision and Patient

Care

Local Surgeon to Share Insights on the Future of Surgery in Free Online Seminar

If you have ever experienced surgery, you may recall lengthy hospital stays, large incisions, and extended recovery periods. Today, revolutionary advancements in surgical technology are transforming that experience. Robotic-assisted surgery is setting a new benchmark, offering greater precision, control, and access than traditional techniques—and significantly improving patient outcomes.

Robotic-assisted surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls robotic arms equipped with surgical instruments. These systems also feature a high-definition 3D camera, providing an enhanced view of the surgical site on a monitor at the surgeon’s console. This approach allows for unmatched visibility, dexterity, and accuracy during complex procedures.

Free Community Seminar: “The Future of Surgery”

Washington Health’s board-certified general surgeon Dr. Kranthi Achanta,

MD, FACS, MHA, will lead an online seminar titled “The Future of Surgery: Robotic Advances with the da Vinci System,” at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25. The seminar will be available to stream on Facebook.com/ WashingtonHealth1 or YouTube.com/ @Washington_Health.

Since Washington Health introduced the state-of-the-art da Vinci Xi Surgical System in June 2024, Dr. Achanta has been instrumental in training and certifying fellow surgeons in this groundbreaking technology. The da Vinci system is now used across multiple specialties at Washington Health, including gynecologic, urologic, thoracic, cardiac, and general surgery.

“Robotic-assisted surgery provides surgeons with a three-dimensional image magnified 10 times, vastly improving visibility and precision,” said Dr. Achanta. “The robotic arms replicate the motion of the human wrist with an even greater range of movement.

This allows for highly precise, flexible handling of instruments.”

Patients benefit tremendously from this advanced approach. Robotic-assisted surgery typically involves smaller incisions, resulting in:

• Less postoperative pain.

• Faster recovery and return to normal activity.

• Reduced blood loss.

• Smaller scars.

• Lower risk of complications such as infection or bleeding.

Dr. Achanta notes that robotic-assisted surgery is particularly useful for accessing tight or deep areas in the body. “In procedures deep in the pelvis, for example, the robotic arms’ slim design prevents the visual and physical obstruction that can occur with standard laparoscopic or open techniques,” he explained.

“The robotic arms replicate the motion of the human wrist with an even greater range of movement. This allows for highly precise, flexible handling of instruments.”

Kranthi Achanta, MD

As technology continues to evolve, robotic-assisted surgery is reshaping the future of health care—offering enhanced outcomes for patients, better ergonomics for surgeons, and greater efficiency for hospitals. “Our da Vinci surgical suite represents a revolution in minimally invasive surgery with radical improvements in precision and outcomes that we are thrilled to offer patients,” noted Dr. Achanta.

OPINION

Voices across the country

By April Ramos

On Thursday, May 1, I attended the May Day protest just down the street from our Tri-City Voice office to take photos of the event. Only about a 10-minute walk away were four large crowds of people at each corner of the Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue intersection.

Walking up to the protest just before its scheduled start time of noon, I was not expecting to see so many people already out with signs.

It’s not a huge surprise that residents of Fremont and the Tri-City area do not align with the direction of the new administration. With so many different cultures and diverse beliefs in the East Bay, it's evident for us that cultural diversity can create a beautiful community.

While I was there taking photos, many people would share how grateful they were that a news outlet was out covering the event. I was surprised

to hear them say that they don’t usually get media coverage from other outlets.

A protest is a big deal, but I do realize that maybe after a duration of the same protests with the same message, it can get repetitive. It begs the question: Does a protest even make a difference at that point?

A friend of mine commented that he doesn’t think protests are as effective if they’re not backed by a certain action. His suggestion was protesting in front of the Tesla factory. I could understand where the idea came from and I did begin to question it myself. How much change can the same protest make?

Since the May Day protest was nationwide, I think its greatest impact was to show the number of people across the country who share the same belief. On social media a

HOMETOWN VOICES The voices of our neighborhoods may not be new news, but united with others across the country they can ignite change. April Ramos

story was shared that a resident of a rural town in a very red state was shocked to see that a small group of about 15 people were protesting.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I think those who are in a safe space to speak up are the ones who can create the environment where others feel they can also do the same.

Better robotics and AI in Fremont schools

As Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) and the City of Fremont resolve recent teacher contract disputes, we must ask: Are our students ready for the AI and robotics revolution reshaping our world?

The next five years will see AI and robotics transform jobs in healthcare, infrastructure, and beyond. Fremont, a tech hub hosting companies like Tesla, must lead in preparing our youth.

FUSD’s recent contract agreement, offering a 5% salary increase and medical coverage, is a step forward but misses class size caps critical for personalized STEM education.

Currently, FUSD offers

robotics through extracurricular programs like Fremont high school’s Firebots, which qualified for the 2025 FIRST Robotics World Championship, and Mattos Elementary’s Science Magnet, where students experience coding and robotics.

Yet, access is uneven, and dedicated AI courses are absent from the TK-12 curriculum. This gap risks leaving students unprepared for roles like AI specialists or robotics engineers, with global GDP projected to grow 10-15% by 2030 due to these technologies.

AI will automate many tasks such as manufacturing and logistics, while robotics will advance the medical fields and

smart cities. Self-driving cars are here now merging AI and robotics. Healthcare will see AI-driven diagnostics, and creative fields will use AI as a co-creator. Ethical challenges, like bias in AI systems, will demand informed professionals to ensure the proper use of AI and not its abuse. Fremont’s students must master these domains in order to prepare our students for future jobs.

I propose three steps: Embed AI and Robotics in Curriculum: Mandate AI literacy and robotics courses from middle school, teaching coding, machine learning basics and ethics.

OXALIS: TO WEED OR NOT?

The invasive variety has native cousins

By Daniel O'Donnell

‘One man’s treasure is another man’s trash” is an old idiom that continues to be relevant today. Examples include used cars, salvaged building materials and preowned clothing. Oxalis, the plant with the bright yellow flowers and clover-shaped leaves that pops up in the garden every spring is a good example of “One gardener’s treasure is another gardener’s trash.”

Oxalis pes-caprae, also called buttercup oxalis, Bermuda buttercup or sour grass, is a plant from South Africa that was introduced to California as an ornamental around the early 1900s. It can be seen in the spring and early summer growing in many natural and urban areas here. It has a yellow daisy-shaped flower that sits on a six-to-12-inch stalk rising from a cluster of chartreuse clover-shaped leaves.

Many people find Oxalis attractive when it grows en masse along freeways and in open spaces. Only some find it attractive when it is growing in their garden. Many others detest it.

Growing buttercup oxalis in the garden is easy for anyone who treasures it. It is not spread by seeds but rather small bulbs that sprout in spring. Simply leave any existing oxalis in the yard or introduce some of the bulbs into the garden, and year after year they will multiply. They need no supplemental water or fertilizing.

This species of oxalis is invasive and it will spring up throughout the garden since bulbs are persistent and multiply quickly. However, the plant completely dies back with the summer heat and does not resprout until spring temperatures are consistently above 50°F.

The main reason most people dislike buttercup oxalis is because it is invasive. Gardeners who think that it’s “trash” can eradicate it, but it does take more work than other weeds. Oxalis pes-caprae bulbs multiply rapidly and stay dormant for several years. Herbicides will kill the above-ground foliage but not the underground bulbs.

It can take multiple applications over a couple of years to finally rid a yard of oxalis. Cutting or using a weed eater is a safer way to weaken and eventually kill the bulbs, but this method can take several years. Sheet mulching can provide immediate results, but as the cardboard breaks down, dormant bulbs will sprout again. The most effective way to eradicate buttercup oxalis is to dig it up and remove the bulbs.

The story of oxalis in California does not end here, however. There are many other species, including some native to California that are attractive to grow in the garden or as house plants.

Oxalis californica

This perennial native plant, commonly known as California wood sorrel, can be found growing throughout southern California in open spaces from sea level to 6,000 feet. It is low-growing with dark green clover-shaped leaves and has pale yellow flowers with a brush of red in the center.

Oxalis oregana

This plant’s native habitat ranges from British Columbia to Northern California. It can be found carpeting the ground in many redwood forests, which is why it’s commonly referred to as redwood sorrel. It grows well in partial to deep shade. It has clover-shaped green leaves with flowers that range from white to pink.

Oxalis spiralis aurea

This showy plant will brighten up any indoor or outdoor partially shady location with its bright green, pink, orange, copper and yellow foliage and red stems. It also has bright yellow flowers that bloom on and off throughout the year.

Oxalis ‘Plum Crazy’:

This non-invasive ornamental plant has small clover-shaped leaves which have patches of pink, fuchsia, purple and green and are most vibrant when grow-

ing in full sun. However, it grows well in the shade and can bloom all year long in moderate temperatures with bright yellow flowers.

Oxalis spiralis vulcanicola

This elegant plant, also known as volcanic sorrel, has leaves that range from dark green to red, maroon, purple and an almost black burgundy. It is a perennial plant in the milder Bay Area climates and indoors. It can also bloom all year long with bright yellow flowers that sit atop dark red stems.

Oxalis versicolor

Many oxalis species have flowers that close in cloudy weather and at night. However, only one, also known as Candy Cane sorrel, is purchased primarily for when flowers are closed. When open, the flowers are dark red with a single white stripe on each petal. When closed,

the flowers curl into cylinder shapes with red and white stipes that resemble candy canes.

Most gardeners who hate buttercup oxalis do so because it is invasive, while ignoring its other positive characteristics. There are other types of oxalises that are non-invasive, have colorful foliage and vibrant flowers, are drought tolerant, and take little work to maintain.

Growing and enjoying these other species may help people treasure the invasive Oxalis pes-caprae, if not in the garden, at least alongside the freeway and in other unappealing open spaces that the yellow flowers brighten up.

Bay Area leads in mental health access

● Region bucks national shortage trend with high worker density and lower depression rates

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

While much of the U.S. struggles with a growing shortage of mental health professionals, the Bay Area is standing out as a bright spot. A March report by Addiction Rep, a digital marketing agency that works with addiction treatment centers, ranked the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metro among the top regions in the nation for access to mental health care workers.

According to the report, the Bay Area has 74.9 mental health workers per 10,000 residents—well above the national average of 58.3. The region also reports a lower prevalence of depression at 18.5%, compared to 22% nationwide.

This strong showing places the Bay Area 13th in the country for mental health workforce density. Other California metros also performed well in the rankings, including Los Angeles (85.4) and San Diego (76.1), reflecting broader statewide trends in mental health investment and workforce development.

In contrast, cities in the southeast

and parts of Texas are facing some of the most acute shortages. Fayetteville, Arkansas (27.4), Huntsville, Alabama (27.6), and Lakeland, Florida (28.6) ranked among the lowest for mental health professionals per capita. Major metros like Atlanta, Dallas and Houston also fell well below the national average.

Nationwide, mental health service gaps are projected to widen in the coming years. But metro areas like San Francisco, along with top-ranked Springfield, Massachusetts (112.5), Madison, Wisconsin (93.4) and Boston (92.3), show that investment and policy choices can make a difference.

‘The Bay Area has 74.9 mental health workers per 10,000 residents—well above the national average’

The analysis drew on data from multiple sources, including the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CDC, SAMHSA and the U.S. Census Bureau. Together, the findings underscore how regional differences in workforce availability can shape access to care during a time of rising demand.

Film screenings and lookalike contest to celebrate Chaplin Days in Niles

The resolution carries no fiscal impact, as Hayward’s Sister City program currently has no dedicated budget.

Founded in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Sister Cities program aims to promote international friendship and cultural exchange. Hayward is already partnered with five cities: Faro, Portugal; Funabashi, Japan; Ghazni, Afghanistan; San Felipe, Mexico and Yixing, China. While engagement levels vary, the relationships are intended to be long-term.

FOR THE WEEK OF MAY 13, 2025

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

BY GEORGIA NICOLS www.georgianicols.com.

All Signs: Prepare for a tough week. On Monday, we have a Full Moon in Scorpio. On the same day, Mercury, the planet of communications, is at odds with Pluto, triggering power struggles. Meanwhile, throughout the week, there’s lots of potential for deceit and tension with others. Monday (Full Moon Day) will be accident prone, as will Friday/Saturday. The good news is that every month our problems intensify as the Full Moon approaches. Then after the Full Moon peaks, the same problems diminish or even disappear. Go slowly this week. Don’t believe everything you hear.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This week your focus is on earnings, cash flow, assets and wealth. Stay on top of details because Monday’s Full Moon could impact your financial status. Likewise, be conscious of whether your possessions need to be repaired, returned or cleaned. Power struggles over money might occur. Wait a week until things calm down. For the next two weeks, Mercury is in your Money House increasing your concern with business. You might be shopping more than usual. Protect what you own at the end of this week to prevent loss, theft or damage.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): This might be a challenging week because on Monday, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This could create power struggles with parents, authority figures as well as spouses and close friends. Meanwhile, Mercury will be in your sign for the next two weeks, prompting you to speak up. Your mind will be fast moving, jumping from topic to topic. Nevertheless, pay attention to everything you say and do, because the Sun in your sign is lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which could be accident-prone!

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20): With the challenging astrological influences that occur this week, some signs get hit harder than others. But I think you’re not one of them. In fact, you will feel something more like an internal restlessness. You might see some upheaval occurring around you. But on the whole, relations with friends and groups will be warm and rewarding.

Admittedly, Monday’s Full Moon could trigger problems at work, or with your health, or a pet. Nevertheless, you’ll be positive and dynamic in your communications. Your ability to research in the next few weeks is excellent.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

Monday’s Full Moon might create difficulties with your kids, friends and groups. This energy could also create problems with romantic partners. This is why power struggles about shared property, debt, taxes and shared responsibilities might occur. Meanwhile, a friend might surprise you. In the next few weeks, expect to hang out with younger people more than usual. Meanwhile, Venus is crossing the top of your chart, and this makes you look attractive to everyone. Bosses and people in authority will admire you! Some will strike up a romance with a boss.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

For the next two weeks, Mercury is at the top of your chart making you think about your professional life and long-term goals. This is a strong time to talk to bosses or employers because they will listen. This is also a good time to learn a new technique, or master a particular skill. Fortunately, Mars in your sign gives you energy, which you need because you have a lot on your plate. Avoid arguments with others on Monday. Something unexpected might impact your reputation or your relationship with a boss. Tread carefully.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

Pay attention to everything you say and do right now, because on Monday, the Full Moon will be an accident-prone situation for you. (This could be a physical or verbal accident.) Therefore, slow down and think before you do anything. Meanwhile, in the next two weeks, your desire to travel will be stronger. You might explore chances to take courses or learn a new language. At the beginning of the week, steer clear of controversial discussions about politics, religion or racial issues. Double check travel plans, which might suddenly change or be cancelled.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

You’re private about your finances; and you don’t like money hassles. Nevertheless, the Full Moon on Monday might create problems with earnings, cash flow, purchases or taxes, debt or shared property. You might feel that you’re being forced to act. Or you have to deal with an unexpected situation. In the next two weeks, you’ll have more discussions about finances, property and anything you hold jointly.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

On Monday, the Full Moon is in your sign, heightening your emotional responses. You might find yourself at odds with partners, spouses and close friends. Fortunately, Full

Moon tension is generally over in 48 hours. But it could bring things out in the open. In the next two weeks, Mercury is opposite your sign helping you clarify issues. It’s a good time to sign contracts and enter into negotiations because your objectivity is strong. Mars is still high in your chart, arousing your ambition, which helps you work hard.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

Like Gemini, you might slide through the tension of the Full Moon because it isn’t coming at you in an “in-your-face” way. Nevertheless, tension with coworkers might arise. Something unexpected or surprising related to your health, job or a pet might catch you off guard. Your desire to travel (you’re the traveller of the zodiac) is strong as Mars travels through the part of your chart ruling foreign countries and intellectual exploration. Meanwhile, fair Venus is in one of the most romantic, fun-loving parts of your chart attracting flirtations, social outings and an increased involvement with the arts.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Parents please note: This is an accident-prone week for your kids. Be aware of where they are. (Especially toddlers…) Sports is another source of accidents, along with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. If you work in or are involved in these areas—be mindful. Romance will hold surprises for some. (Something might begin—or end.) This is a wonderful time to enjoy the company of others! Enjoy entertaining at home, as well as making where you live look more attractive.

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

The next Full Moon is challenging because you might feel caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career or reputation. In this particular case, you can’t ignore home and family. In fact, something related to your domestic world, perhaps a parent, might surprise you. In the next two weeks, family discussions will predominate; perhaps about home repairs. Fortunately, with fair Venus in your House of Communications, you’ll be charming with everyone. Another bonus is your ability to appreciate your daily surroundings.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):

Be careful because the Full Moon on Monday creates an accident-prone situation for you both verbally and physically. Therefore, slow down. On the upside, you might come up with original ideas. (Oh yes, Pisces people are capable of brilliance. Albert Einstein, for example, was a fellow Pisces.) It’s partly because you have the added dimension of imagination to your intellect, which allows you to explore “the beyond.” Continue to work hard this week. Expect rewards in the form of money and gifts. It’s a busy week.

Moreau Catholic and Newark Memorial take top spots

● Mission Valley Athletic League track and field championships highlight Tri-City athletes

By April Ramos

After a season of dual meets and invitationals, the Mission Valley Athletics League (MVAL) track and field championship was the culmination of months of preparation. On May 9 and 10, Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward hosted the MVAL Championships.

Friday was dedicated to field events such as shot put, pole vault and jumps. First place spots in the field events includ-

ed Taopa Fehoko of Moreau Catholic for boys frosh/soph shot put, Kaitlyn Hancock of Washington High School in the girls varsity pole vault and Tanvi Shrowty American High School in the girls varsity triple jump, just to name a few.

An Irvington High School stand out was Varsha Aravindhan who showed her talent in bridging that gap between field and track events winning the varsity long jump and 300m varsity hurdles.

Another standout moment on the track was Moreau Catholic sweeping the

top three spots in the boys 300m varsity hurdles. Winners were Krish Sandhu, 40.23; Seth Evans, 41.99; Alijah Jackson, 44.19, respectively.

Junior Essence Anderson-Brown of James Logan High School was a force to be reckoned with as she dominated nearly all sprinting events. Brown won first place in the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints. However, she did not stop there as she also anchored the winning 4x100m team along with sophomores Brianna Almaguer and Anaya Randhawa and fellow junior Olivia Castro.

A highlight of the long distance girls event was Alice McCarty of Newark Memorial. McCarty claimed first

place in the 800m, 1600m and 3200m long distance events. However, Mission San Jose sophomore Ownea Chen and Newark Memorial senior Grace Veloza were consistent with their paces as they placed second and third in the 1600 and 3200m, respectively.

Overall high school team winners who collected the most points were MVAL hosts Moreau Catholic in first, and Newark Memorial in second in both boys and girls varsity category.

The MVAL championship is only the beginning of the journey for athletes setting their sights on the State Championships. Winners now have to refocus the energy for the Bay Shore Area Championship quickly coming up on Saturday, May 17 at Vallejo High School where they will be competing with winners of the North Coast Section Bay Shore League. For full results of the MVAL championship

GOING THE DISTANCE Sprints, hurdles and long distance

running events took over Moreau Catholic’s track on Saturday, May 10.
