Democratic party splits over city’s position on unhoused

● Ousted DA Price calls out Fremont Mayor Salwan over homelessness policy

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan took fire from members of his own party, as tensions erupted during the May 7 meeting of the Alameda County Democratic Party Central Committee. Former District Attorney Pamela Price, joined by unsuccessful mayoral candidate Vinnie Bacon, introduced a motion to censure Salwan, accusing him of defying core Democratic values. Though the motion failed in a lopsided 27-4 vote, it ignited a fierce intra-party battle that exposed deep divisions over homelessness policy and political loyalty.

At the heart of the clash is Salwan’s support for Fremont’s controversial Camping Ordinance, which bans unhoused residents from camping or storing belongings on public property. The ordinance originally included a clause that outlawed “aiding and abetting” encampments—language that sparked

Headache or Migraine? Talk to Your Doctor

Family Medicine Physician Says Don’t Suffer in Silence

When the pounding pain in your head is unbearable, daylight hurts your eyes, and nausea is overwhelming, you likely have a migraine. The condition is common, affecting about 15% of people, mostly in in their 20s to 40s. Yet the debilitating condition is misunderstood and sometimes ignored by sufferers as just a bad headache.

While the condition can cause people to be nonfunctional and take a sick day, fewer than 50% of sufferers see a doctor for diagnosis or treatment, according to the American Migraine Foundation. “I see a lot of patients who report having headaches or migraines,” says Washington Health Medical Group’s Thomas Collins-Pallett, MD, of Family Medicine – Mowry Family Practice, who is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.

“There’s no need to suffer in silence. We have a lot of treatment options today,” he adds. “We still don’t understand what the path to a migraine is, but we have many ways to treat it.”

Dr. Collins-Pallett, who was recently recognized by Bay Area News Group as the Best in Fremont Doctor, first became interested in headaches after seeing so many patients who suffered and didn’t know if anything could

be done. “People would check off headaches on the questionnaire we give them before their annual physical. Many were well informed about their triggers, but others weren’t sure.”

A Headache or a Migraine?

“Tension and stress, and dehydration, are the standard reasons people might get a routine headache,” he explains.

“But the causes of migraines are varied, including hormonal shifts, sleep problems, changes in weather and atmospheric pressure, foods, smells, menstruation, and more.”

The difference between a migraine and a headache, he explains, is in the duration and severity. Migraines usually start with an aura, a series of sensory disturbances that include seeing sparks, bright spots, and zig-zags, and speaking difficulties. A few minutes to an hour following the aura, the pain starts, and can last from a few hours to up to three days. Not everyone, however, will get the aura, Dr. Collins-Pallett notes, and severity varies.

In addition to pulsating pain, migraine sufferers can have light sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting. Some people experience an occasional migraine, while others suffer three to five times a month.

“A lot has to do with tracking one’s triggers,” the doctor adds. “Many random foods can cause a migraine. I had one patient who said celery would set them off.” Perfumes, cleaning products, candles, and other smells are also common triggers, along with weather changes and hormones.

“Doctors used to think that dilating blood vessels caused migraines, but that theory has been debunked,” according to Dr. Collins-Pallett. “There are currently a lot of theories, but so much about migraines we just don’t understand.”

Medications are Effective

The good news, he adds, is that doctors have many treatment options, starting with taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) over-the-counter medications like Aleve for an occasional routine headache.

For migraines, Dr. Collins-Pallett describes two categories of medications that either cure an episode or prevent it.

Triptans are taken orally or sprayed in the nose, and are most effective immediately after a symptom is noticed.

“There’s no need to suffer in silence. We have a lot of treatment options today.”

Thomas Collins-Pallett, MD

The preventive medications are taken every day, and while they may not stop all migraines, they will cause them to happen less frequently. Medications include ergotamine and ergot alkaloids, and gepants, which reduce blood vessel dilation. “We’ve had a lot of success in helping people with medications,” he says. He recommends consulting with your doctor on what is right for you. Dr. Collins-Pallett also recommends trying to reduce stress and tension, when possible. “We don’t have a lot of control over stress in our lives, but limiting stressful situations, exercising regularly, and practicing meditation and mindfulness can help,” he emphasizes. “If you’re dealing with migraines and headaches and you don’t feel like you’ve found good solutions, talk to your doctor.”

Advanced Community Care

Teamwork makes the dream work for Washington Health patients.

This is the second in a two-part series on Advanced Practice Providers (APPs).

In 1958, Washington Hospital opened in Fremont with 150 beds to serve a population of 18,000. Nine physicians formed the original medical staff of the Washington Township Health Care District.

Today, Washington Health (WH) is an integrated health system that includes a 415-bed hospital; a medical group of more than 500 providers; outpatient services; centers of excellence in orthopedics and neurosurgery; award-winning UCSF Health-affiliated services in oncology, cardiovascular surgery, maternal and child health, and neonatal intensive care; and most recently, a level II trauma center. And nearly 70 years after starting with a medical staff made up of a handful of physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs) have joined the Washington Health Medical Group (WHMG) team to care for a diverse and multicultural population of more than 300,000 people in WH’s service area. NPs are trained using the nursing care model (assessment, diagnosis, plan, implementation and evaluation) while PAs are trained using the medical model in caring for patients, both in the hospital and outpatient setting. Both focus on caring for the whole person.

Following the Nursing Model

Katherine Donaldson-Fletcher, RN, WHNP, CNM, started her career as

a bilingual elementary school teacher. She focused on women’s health at the University of California, San Francisco School of Nursing, earning a master’s degree and certifications as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) and Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM).

“When it was time for me to move on from teaching, I did a big soul search and took time to figure out what my next great passion would be,” DonaldsonFletcher recalled. “Becoming a nurse practitioner was never on my radar when I was growing up, but in my search I saw people who were NPs who were very happy, doing important work that made a huge difference in people’s lives. I knew it would be my next great calling.”

As a teacher, Donaldson-Fletcher taught bilingual kindergarten and first grade in Richmond, Oakland and Berkeley for 12 years. She brings that same focus to her practice at Washington Women’s Health Specialists, providing a wide range of care to women from their teens into their senior years. She said sharing her wealth of extensive clinical experience in reproductive health, obstetrics, and gynecology with her patients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds fills her spirit.

“Midwifery encompasses all of women’s health,” she explained. “A CNM brings a different perspective to prenatal care. I’ve attended many births as a CNM, and more as a doula before that. It affects all the patient care I provide, from family planning,

gender-affirming care, and general reproductive and sexual health care.”

She also relies on her teaching roots and works to create trusting relationships with her patients.

“I always emphasize the importance of education and information in making decisions about health,” Donaldson-Fletcher shared. “I advocate for all my patients and help them learn how to advocate for themselves, whether it’s during pregnancy, reproductive years, perimenopause or postmenopause.

“This only works because Washington Health is very supportive of me as a practitioner,” she continued. “That allows me to take time with each patient, look across the breadth of the patient care spectrum and focus on them, not just on a disease process or a point of time in their lives. They know I’m there to provide holistic care and it builds trust.”

Treating the Whole Patient

Like Donaldson-Fletcher, Ekta Patel, PA-C, took the road less traveled on her journey to becoming a Physician Associate. After earning a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and a master’s degree in biomedical science, she earned a master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies and is a Certified Physician Associate (PA-C). Before joining WHMG’s Danielson Clinic in Newark, she worked in general surgery, primary and urgent care, and telemedicine in clinics across the country.

“I was fortunate to have worked in a number of different practice settings before finding my love of family medicine,” Patel said. “Every one of them helps inform my practice and allows me to bring my experience to each patient encounter. Family Medicine lets me care for generations, and my experience will help me build long-term, trusting relationships with each one.”

“This only works because Washington Health is very supportive of me as a practitioner.”

Katherine Donaldson-Fletcher, RN, WHNP

Patel said that opportunity is what attracted her to the Danielson Clinic.

“Family Medicine is all about continuity of care,” she explained. “I work together with my patients to tackle problems and find solutions that improve their lives and share education with them to keep them moving forward. Every visit is another step in that relationship.”

Patel’s approach is inspired by her own family, based on respect, honesty and compassion. Her patients are diverse in ethnicity, age, educational level and income, but they all receive her undivided attention when they’re with her.

“Patients come in and we talk about their general health, their mental health, preventive medicine and making healthy lifestyle choices,” she shared. “I teach them that little lifestyle modifications can make a big difference. I advocate for their health, teach them how to advocate for themselves and help them navigate the complex health care system we as practitioners deal with every day.

“I know our patients have options in choosing a primary care provider,” she continued. “I always thank them for coming to see me and let them know I’m there for them for all their health care needs. We address acute complaints and conditions, but also chronic conditions, and overall general and mental health. When they leave the office, they know I was present with them and care about them. It’s what fills my heart.”

OPINION

Eating through the Tri-Cities

By Samantha Campos

While some folks may learn about a locale through its sights and sounds, I prefer to savor its flavors. For the past year, I’ve been eating my way through the Tri-Cities, making memories of delectable dishes at every stop: a satisfying chicken shawarma wrap with well-seasoned fries at Tio’s Mediterranean Grill in San Leandro; the highly addictive, dangerously bite-sized savory doughnuts of scallion, bacon and parmesan, with some of the best grilled oysters (drenched in smoky chili butter!) I’ve ever had, at Top Hatters Kitchen & Bar, also in San Leandro. Since our office is in Fremont, most of my lunchtime wanderings are nearby. I’ve slurped many a piping-hot-broth-explosion of the pork and crab xiao long bao at Din Ding Dumpling; downed slices of corn, chile and feta cheese sourdough pizza with cilantro sauce at Sliver Pizzeria; sipped countless Green Man-

go smoothies and stuffed an Umami Melt or two into my face from Raw Superfood Cafe and discovered my love for rose tteokbokki at Melting Wok (sadly now closed). I’ve also tested my spice tolerance with a deftly layered, aromatic dal at Solkadhi; explored the array of dishes in the veg thali at Zaitoon Restaurant; engulfed a few falafel bowls at Nick the Greek (not all in one sitting); recently begun taste-testing various wraps and bowls at the newly opened Kebab Shop on Paseo Padre Pkwy and have on more than one occasion relied on the comfort of a “Sometimes I’m a Vegetarian” sandwich from Ike’s Love & Sandwiches. Thankfully, Lake Elizabeth is also close to the office for long pre- or post-meal walks. Still on my list to try: Porque No? Tacos and Vivid Bibim in

San Leandro, Khao Hom in Hayward and Doughweime (mmm… malasadas!) in Union City. The Tri-Cities offer a culinary cornucopia of delights, with no end to diverse and delicious gastronomic adventures. So far, my explorations highlight an immigrant-rich heritage that connects food to identity and tradition, serving as cultural anchors for displaced communities—making food a means of expression and survival.

In Tri-City Voice, we hope to provide more insight on who’s behind the food, giving special

attention to family-run kitchens, locally owned cafes and immigrant chefs so we can celebrate not just what’s on the plate but who made it possible. What’s your go-to lunch spot? Let me know at editorial@tricityvoice.com.

Coming up next month, those foodie forays will take us into the first-ever Bay Area Burger Week—a 12-day celebration of special menus and promotions honoring the world’s greatest burgers. Stay tuned for more on that soon.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fremont’s camping ban

[The following letter has been edited for length and clarity.]

Public safety or political posturing?

Fremont faces a significant homelessness crisis, with over 600 unsheltered residents as of 2024 (Alameda County Continuum of Care, 2024). Fremont’s recently-enacted camping ban, despite its stated intentions, fails to provide meaningful solutions and disproportionately impacts marginalized communities.

In February 2025, responding to community concerns and a federal court ruling in Grants

Pass, Oregon (Blake v. City of Grants Pass, 2023), Fremont’s City Council enacted this controversial ordinance prohibiting camping in public spaces. Initially, the ordinance criminalized "aiding and abetting" encampments, but this clause was removed following public backlash and legal action from the California Homeless Union (Politico, 2025).

Although Mayor Raj Salwan defended the ban as compassionate, Fremont’s historical resistance to homelessness solutions—including protests against a homeless navigation

center in 2019 (ABC7 News, 2019)—highlights longstanding reluctance toward solutions. My main argument is that Fremont’s decisions on homelessness are heavily influenced by political and financial motivations, particularly re-election interests.

Research by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty (2022) confirms punitive measures fail to decrease homelessness and instead increase municipal costs. Enforcement disproportionately harms marginalized groups (Batko et al., 2020).

ADJUDICATION

Instead of punitive measures, Fremont must prioritize Housing First programs, increasing affordable housing availability, and enhancing mental health services. The Housing First model, already proven effective in cities nationwide, provides stable housing without preconditions and directly addresses root causes of homelessness (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2023).

Fremont continues to face inadequate shelter capacity and affordable housing shortages, partly due to prioritizing market-rate developments inaccessible to low-income residents.

TOMATOES ALWAYS FIND ROOM IN THE GARDEN

Containers or baskets on the patio make good tomato homes

By Melinda Myers

Nothing beats the flavor of freshfrom-the-garden tomatoes. Keep them close at hand by growing one or more in containers on your patio, balcony or front steps.

Any tomato can be grown in a pot, but determinate varieties are shorter and more compact, making them a bit easier to manage in a container. They produce fruit in a relatively short period of time, making them great choices for preserving as well as using fresh. Look for a “D” or determinate on the plant tag, seed packet or in the catalog description.

Indeterminate tomatoes, often designated with an “I,” are usually much taller and continue to grow, flower and produce fruit until frost kills the plant or you pinch out the growing tip. These are usually staked or grown in wire cages to save space, reduce pest problems and make harvesting easier. Many new containers have built-in trellises or creative gardeners craft their own, making it easier and more attractive to grow these bigger plants in pots.

Semi-determinate varieties are in between these two. They are compact like determinates, often trailing, but produce fruit throughout the growing season like indeterminate varieties.

You can now find compact varieties, often sold as miniature and dwarf plants, that grow well in small four- to eight-inch pots. They are a great option for those with limited space, gardening on balconies, indoors in a sunny window or just about anywhere. Kitchen Mini tomatoes, Heartbreakers, Red Velvet and Micro Tom Thumb are just a few.

Grow one tomato per container for maximum productivity. Use a five-gal-

lon or bigger container for large varieties and at least a two- to three-gallon or similar size pot for smaller varieties. Some research suggests growing tomatoes in a pot that is at least 14 inches but preferably 20 inches wide will yield greater results. Adding flowers and herbs to the container boosts the beauty and diversity of your container garden but will reduce the number of tomatoes produced.

Growing tomatoes in containers also allows you to start the season earlier. Just move the planter inside when the weather is harsh and back outside when the weather is warm and sunny. As the weather turns cold at the end of the growing season, cover the planter or move it into a frost-free location as needed. Some gardeners even move a pot or two inside to finish off the tomato season.

Plant tomatoes in a container with drainage holes and fill it with a quality potting mix. Reduce the time spent watering with a self-watering pot that has a reservoir to hold water and extend the time between watering. Further reduce the need to water by adding an organic, sustainable soil amendment like certified organic Wild Valley Farms’ wool pellets (wildvalleyfarms.com) to the potting mix. Made from wool waste, this product reduces watering by up to 25%.

Water thoroughly when the top few inches begin to dry. Mulch the soil with evergreen needles, shredded leaves, or other organic mulch to keep the soil consistently moist and suppress weeds. Consistent soil moisture encourages more flowering and fruiting, while reducing the risk of blossom end rot, cracking and misshapen fruit.

Harvest tomatoes when fully colored or leave them on the plant a few more

GIFT BASKET If gardening space is limited, grow tomatoes in hanging baskets or containers.

days for an even sweeter flavor. You’ll enjoy the convenience of harvesting fresh tomatoes right outside your door for use in salads, sauces and other favorite recipes.

County Democratic Party resoundingly rejects censure of Salwan, 27-4

outrage from advocacy groups and civil rights attorneys.

Price, in her censure motion, called the policy “completely antithetical to the values and platform of the California Democratic Party.” The aiding and abetting clause was later removed in March, but that rollback hasn’t satisfied Price, who remains unconvinced that Salwan aligns with the party’s principles.

“The policy in Fremont adopted under his leadership is abhorrent,” Price said in an interview. “When we have a member who goes against what we believe, that member should be called out.”

Price’s motion also pointed to the Central Committee’s January 8 vote “overwhelmingly” opposing the Camping Ordinance. Beyond homelessness issues, the document accuses Salwan of

a pattern of defiance, including backing candidates not endorsed by the party and supporting Price’s own recall last November. According to the committee’s bylaws, repeated support for non-endorsed candidates is grounds for expulsion under Article II, Section 11(a).

Despite the heated rhetoric and detailed charges, Price’s effort to formally censure Salwan hit a wall. Committee members rejected the motion by a wide margin. Salwan, in an attempt to defend his honor, took to social media days before the meeting, accusing party leaders of “focus[ing] on performative censures rather than governing and results.”

He later called the censure effort political score-settling: revenge by Price for his support of her recall and by Bacon for losing the 2024 mayoral race. Salwan received 11,327 more votes than Bacon

Reach for a Better Community educates on substance abuse

— continued from page 1

A plethora of activities will be available to participate in, from painting to native planting to even a Splash Tower Dunk Game. Free food and ice cream are certain to be enticing bonuses for attendees. The intention behind every activity is to teach and encourage the youth and their families about healthier, positive coping mechanisms to stress, rather than opting for substance usage.

Eden Youth’s substance use prevention manager Cynthia Goco-Nakar explains, “Marketing in the tobacco industry has changed how they appeal to younger audiences, such as developing different fruity vape flavors and packaging them in rainbow colors.

“When youth make those choices and struggle, that’s where we come in,” adds Goco-Nakar. “We teach them about prevention through coping and refusal skills in our school curriculum. We want to be that judgment-free support system for them and showcase the resilience our youth has.”

To further create a safe, judgment-free space, the nonprofit’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) will also be available to converse or merely listen. Youth attendees who typically hesitate to open up to an adult will have the opportunity to talk

to and resonate with a peer instead. The YAC has played a significantly active role in Eden Youth, with about 15 to 20 passionate members working on substance use campaigns to help their peers.

Eden Youth’s executive director and CEO Karen Halfon shares, “Our YAC have done tremendous work, including banning the illegal sales of flavored tobacco and vaping products, as well as developing a substance use prevention curriculum that is now being implemented and taught in schools.”

Having community events such as RFBC is crucial in letting struggling youth know that they are not alone.

Goco-Nakar says, “A lot of youth feel isolated and are not aware of what other coping mechanisms there are. We want to show, not just teach, that they are seen, have intrinsic value and can belong just by being their unique selves.”

RFBC event is a true call to action for those looking not just for change, but for acceptance. A parent participant who attended last year’s event shares, “What stood out to me the most was how the event created a welcoming space for both the kids and the families. The staff and volunteers were friendly, and the com-

in the November election, a margin of almost 15% of the vote.

“Hopefully, the people who brought this motion to the floor got the message it's a new day in the local Democratic Party, and their colleagues are not here for the politics and performances, they're here to improve people's lives the best they can,” Salwan said.

The censure attempt reflects a larger unrest among local Democrats. At recent Fremont City Council meetings, community members have raised concerns about the council’s fidelity to Democratic values. Offering what he hopes are soothing words, Salwan insists he remains focused on progress.

“I’ll continue focusing on results— cleaner streets, safer neighborhoods, affordable housing, reducing homelessness, and bringing people together to get things done for Fremont residents,” he said.

munity partners shared resources I didn’t even know were available to us.”

Eden Youth’s continuous commitment to ensuring health and wellness marks them as reliable and genuine advocates for the current and future generations to come.

Irvington high schooler deletes medical debts

● Small fundraising efforts cancel big bills

By Katherine He

In Rheana Puliyanda’s neighborhood, dogs are walked and children learn how to dance from a high schooler not for a sheer allowance, but for the greater goal of erasing medical debt. Puliyanda, a current junior at Irvington High School, fundraises on several platforms in order to meet her goal of paying as many hospital bills as possible.

Puliyanda began fundraising at 15, when she first learned how medical debts functioned. She was shocked by how simple it is to cancel medical debt, thus beginning her campaign to help as much as she can with the problem.

“You could buy someone’s $1000 of medical debt for about $10 and sometimes less than that,” says Puliyanda.

Puliyanda was especially inspired to deal with debt after seeing people around her suffer due to hospital dues and health bills.

“I had a neighbor who postponed their surgery until after they could afford a plan with a slightly higher deductible because their pain was just getting worse,” says Puliyanda. “But at the same time they couldn’t afford it because it was so expensive.”

Joining Undue Medical Debt was a big step for Puliyanda in her debt-erasing journey. This organization taught Puliyanda the basics of buying debt, and encouraged her to expand her fundraising methods.

“I was really impressed with how [Undue Medical Debt] was able to handle things,” says Puliyanda. “From there I furthered my involvement with them by launching a campaign.”

In a year’s work, Puliyanda has taught dance classes to kids in her neighborhood, walked dogs and expanded her platform through social media. In her

eyes, the importance of spreading a message doesn’t only translate to the monetary amount donated—it’s the awareness that sparks others to create their own campaigns.

“It’s overlooked and people learning about [medical debt] already has such a profound impact because they’re doing their own research and things like that,” says Puliyanda.

Despite her continuous campaigning efforts and fundraising, Puliyanda still dealt with unsuccessful social media posts or rude remarks that caused her to doubt herself. But she learned to keep her goal in her heart and push forward with it.

“It’s not going to go exactly how you plan but that’s okay,” says Puliyanda. “As long as you know the purpose of what you’re doing and have that in the back of your head then it’s fine.”

As of now, Puliyanda has raised over $13,800 which has cleared $1.8 million worth of medical debt. The problem of medical debt will always impact people, so it’s necessary to know how to manage it. For those who want to start their own fundraising projects, it’s important to stick with the goal even through the tough times.

“I think it’s important to acknowledge that not everyone can donate

but that’s okay,”says Puliyanda. “You need to still give people ways to be involved somehow.”

CHANGE MAKER After a year of activism, Puliyanda has taught dance classes, walked dogs and expanded her platform through social media.

Leadership Fremont helps local youth

● Aspiring professionals put their skills to work

By Stephanie Uchida

Each year, Leadership Fremont, a program of Fremont Chamber of Commerce, takes on a new cohort of individuals who want to develop their professional skills. The program gives those individuals a chance to both learn from local business leaders and put their new knowledge to the test as they collaborate on a project to help an organization in need.

For the 2025 cohort, this organization was Fremont Youth and Family Services (YFS). Funds raised by Leadership

Fremont (LF) will help YFS offer programs like summer camps, baseball and soccer teams, dance and music classes, and even driver’s education.

HongVan Tran, a member of the cohort, shared how she also came from a low-income family and benefited from a youth center as a teen, so this cause is close to her heart. The group was determined to meet their goal. “At one point Becky [Ozoa] told me we were on track to be the first cohort in Leadership Fremont history not to meet our fundraising goal. You can imagine the group chat panic. But instead of giving up or making excuses, we pulled together and not only met our goal, we doubled it.”

On Tuesday, May 13, Leadership Fremont held an appreciation night for all the sponsors who donated to help them

meet their fundraising goal—organizations such as Haller’s Pharmacy, Republic Services, Bay Area Community Health, Washington Health, Fremont Morning Rotary and many more.

Annie Bailey, the administrator for Fremont’s YFS division, shared that the division was founded almost 50 years ago and currently has 23 employees and eight clinical trainees. They receive funding mostly from county contracts and some city general funds. Children served often come from low-income, immigrant or high-conflict families.

Laurie Linscheid, a clinical supervisor at YFS, said, “Many of our clients have never been given these opportunities… Often these kids’ idea of recreation is a phone or a tablet, so being able to get outside isn’t something they consid-

er except maybe at recess or coming to and from the bus or the car.” Recreational opportunities contribute to a child’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

According to data provided by LF, a donation of $150 covers one week of a recreational class for a child, $288 covers a two-month intro to gymnastics course, and $806 provides summer camp enrollment. The Leadership Fremont cohort presented YFS with a check for $50,000. Applications are open for the 2026 Leadership Fremont program, which starts in September and runs for nine months.

Those who want to support YFS through Leadership Fremont can go to fremont.gov/government/departments/ human-services/donate.

CHECK YOURSELF The proud Leadership Fremont team presented Fremont Youth and Family Services with a check for $50,000.

Jenny Lin Foundation remembers teen

● Family honors slain Castro Valley teen 31 years later with candlelight vigil

Submitted by Queenie Chong, Jenny Lin Foundation

At the 31st anniversary of the loss of Jenny Lin, her family is hosting a memorial service on Friday, May 23 at Castro Valley Library to honor the teenage girl. Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez will be present to give an update on the investigation effort. Following the ceremony will be a candlelight walk in downtown Castro Valley to remind the public of the unsolved murder and to raise awareness of child safety. Everyone is invited to share this special occasion.

Background of Jenny’s case: A young, talented musician and a straight-A student, Jenny was murdered in her own home on May 27, 1994, at the

age of 14. This brutal death devastated her family and shocked the community. Jenny’s parents, John and Mei-lian Lin, vowed to continue working with the police until the case is solved, and to carry on Jenny’s dreams to see her life extended in a unique fashion.

Jenny’s parents, John and Mei-lian Lin, vowed to continue working with the police until the case is solved

For 31 years, the Jenny Lin Foundation has offered music scholarships and free music programs to the community each year, and has organized numerous safety fairs, workshops and contests to raise awareness of child safety issues and to improve safety knowledge and precautions for parents and children. In addition, the foundation has been working on a safety book project in

collaboration with the East Bay public libraries. Titles covering a wide range of safety-related topics were added to its collection.

To date, there is still no arrest or conviction related to Jenny’s murder. However, her family remains hopeful that through continuous police effort and public help, this senseless, horrifying case will soon be solved. A reward of $200,000 is available for the arrest and conviction of Jenny’s killer.

Water festival waves in new year

● Bay Area Myanmar community observes traditional new year

By staff

Water is the symbol of purification and rebirth, and in the Thai Songkran and Burmese (Myanmar) Thingyan festivals, water brings in the new year. Lai Chow, president of One Myanmar Community (OMC) shares, “In our new year, what’s traditionally been done is to wash away the previous year, any dirt, anything you don’t want, so you’re ready for the new year.”

OMC promotes the welfare of people of Burmese ancestry in the Bay Area. They will hold their 2025 Thingyan at Newark Pavilion on Monday, May 26, coinciding with Memorial Day.

Kids can have fun with the designated water throwing area with a sprinkler running, although, depending on weather, the morning might be too chilly for water activity. A more sedate water-related custom is washing hair or feet to honor elders.

Traditional performances are a big part of the festival, with dance groups, and live bands and singers accompanying the dancers. This year, the festival will combine cultures, with Vietnamese and Thai groups joining. (Unfortunately, Vietnam doesn’t have a water festival.)

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) leaders from surrounding cities are planning to come as well, including Claudine Cheng, the head of APA Heritage Foundation in San Francisco.

No festival is complete without food, and OMC is planning to include a variety of Burmese cuisine. A favorite is mont lone yay baw, a sticky rice ball with a

piece of sugar inside and shredded coconut sprinkled on top.

Sponsorships from Thingyan help keep the community center going throughout the year, covering rent and supporting dance, Burmese language and citizenship classes. OMC would also like to bring back kids’ summer camps, which they haven’t been able to hold since Covid.

The festival will also include a booth where people can donate to disaster relief. On March 28, 2025, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake took over 5,000 lives in Myanmar (plus over a hundred in nearby Thailand), leaving many more injured. The political climate—after effects of the 2021 military coup—has also hindered efforts to lend aid to earthquake victims. The government tends to scrutinize supply trucks moving from one area to another. Chow shared that some aid workers travel at night, which is less risky.

Lai Chow shared that most of his family had already immigrated to the U.S.,

but he still has friends in Myanmar who were hospitalized or lost loved ones. So far, OMC has collected about $70,000 in aid. At this stage, fundraising has shifted to aiding harder-to-reach areas and to rebuilding—providing temporary shelters and toilet facilities, and rebuilding wells. Fun, community and renewal are needed in 2025, and always.

Ardenwood holds train extravaganza

● Rail Fair returns to Fremont on Memorial Day weekend

Submitted by Jacque Burgess

Over Memorial Day weekend, May 24–26, the farmyard at Ardenwood will be full of model trains of all sizes as Ardenwood’s Railroad Museum brings out some of their rarest historic railroad cars so visitors can see them up close.

The Bay Area Garden Railway Society will bring a variety of real-scale steam locomotives to operate. These small but mighty engines work exactly like a full-size steam engine (Saturday and Sunday only).

Diablo Pacific Shortline’s large modular G-scale railroad has both freight and passenger trains, as well as a Thomas the Tank Engine train. This railroad is built low to the ground so the littlest railroad fans can follow the trains around this huge layout.

The California Central Coast On30 Railroad will also be back with their wonderful On30 scale layout. And the Golden State Toy Train Operators will bring their Lionel toy trains layout.

Besides the train layouts, there will be other activities for the children such as stilts and tabletop games. And for toddlers there is a special spot set aside with multiple wooden trains that they can play with; or parents can sit in the shade with their children and enjoy the Train Book Library.

Of course there will be great music too! Favorite musicians will return to the farm each day of the weekend. The California State Old-Time Fiddlers will play traditional American string band music, including many rare old fiddle tunes and lots of Appalachian-style music on Saturday. The Apple Butter Brothers will play American folk music with an emphasis on train songs on Sunday.

And on Monday is a very special women fiddlers group made up of players from The California State Old-Time Fiddlers and the Santa Clara Valley Fiddlers Association.

Railroad Museum volunteers will also be restoring the floor of the 140-yearold “picnic” car, which will be added to the museum’s passenger train again

when finished. The museum’s first steam locomotive, Kiso Forest Railway No. 9, will also be on display. The magnificent Patterson House will be open for tours on all three days.

Tickets are on sale in advance through Friday, May 23 (no online ticket sales on event days). On event days tickets will be sold at the gate (credit cards preferred, cash accepted). Parking is free.

NOTE: Activities vary daily. All activities and times will be included in the event handout at the park entrance.

Rail Fair is presented in conjunction with the East Bay Regional Park District, which operates Ardenwood Historic Farm.

Cab Tran discusses how and when to create a subplot

● Author shows how to connect sub and main plots

Submitted by Tish Davidson

‘Writing isn’t dry, so talking about it shouldn’t be either,” says author Cab Tran. On Saturday, May 24, Fremont Area Writers will host a free interactive Zoom talk by Tran, who promises an engaging conversation about when and how to use subplots to enhance the main plot. According to Tran, writers have misconceptions about subplots because most of them gain their understanding of plot from watching movies and television shows like HBO prestige dramas. From this, they come to believe that all

stories—if they are any good—need intricate subplots.

Using examples from books and movies, Tran will focus on answering the questions every writer should ask themselves before diving headfirst into the deep end of the subplot pool: Do I need a subplot? If the answer is yes, then the follow-up questions are Why? and How many are too many?

Tran was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States with his parents as part of the Vietnamese diaspora. As a child, he loved reading. Writing his own stories seemed like the next logical step. His frugal mother, he says, approved of the pastime because it kept him up in his room and out of her way, and it was an inexpensive hobby, at least until he reached junior high and started begging for a word processor.

Tran sees writing as a very democratic activity. “All you need is something to write with, like a pen, piece of chalk, or even the nub of a burnt stick, and something to write on, like paper, or if you don’t have paper, on walls and sidewalks as we did when we were children. This means you can be a dirt-poor boy from a favela in Rio or a shantytown in Saigon or a girl from a farmhouse in Iowa and become a writer.”

Tran holds an MFA from the University of Michigan. His short fiction has appeared in Vagabond: Bulgaria's English Monthly, The Oleander Review, and Black Warrior Review. He is the co-editor and translator of the anthology The Colors of April: Fiction on the Vietnam War’s Legacy 50 Years Later (Three Rooms Press), by and about the Vietnamese diaspora in the wake of the Vietnam War.

Fremont Area Writers is one of 21 branches of the California Writers Club. It meets on Zoom at 2–4pm on the fourth Saturday of each month. The meetings are free and open to the public. Participants do not need to live in Fremont to attend.

Indian parlor reimagines ice cream

● Pints of Joy brings exotic flavors to Fremont

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

As temperatures rise in Fremont, so does my craving for ice cream.

On Wednesday, I headed to Pints of Joy, an Indian ice cream parlor that opened downtown on April 27. After months of social media buzz, I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype.

Fusing exotic flavors with allergen-aware recipes, Pints of Joy redefines what ice cream can be. All of their products are made with an eggless base, and lactose-free and nut-free options are also available. According to the USDA, eggs, milk and nuts are among the leading food allergens in the U.S., alongside fish, shellfish, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. These menu accommodations make Pints of Joy an inclusive dessert destination for people with dietary restrictions and sensitivities.

Co-owners and friends Ketki Dandekar and Arshiya Shaikh opened the first Pints of Joy location in Sunnyvale in 2022, after losing their jobs during the Covid pandemic. In the beginning, they sold only ice cream by the pint—a more sanitary option that aligned with pandemic restrictions. That focus inspired the name “Pints of Joy.” Today, they’ve expanded their offerings to include individual scoops and sampling sizes.

Newcomers shouldn't be put off by the alternative recipes. I tend to approach twists on classic desserts with skepticism, but I was pleasantly surprised by what Pints of Joy had to offer.

When I walked up to the counter and peered through the glass, I was overwhelmed by the choices. Familiar flavors like strawberry and cookies and cream sat alongside names I didn’t recognize. What’s Gulab Jamun? I wondered. What’s in Malai Kulfi? The range of options tickled my adventurous spirit.

I couldn’t settle on just one flavor, so I went with the Ice Cream Flight—a menu option that lets customers sample four mini scoops of their choice for $14.99. I picked Dark Choco and Orange, Alphonso Mango, Biscoff Cookie, and Mulberry Cheesecake.

As a lifelong chocolate ice cream lover, Dark Choco and Orange was an easy

FLIGHT OF FANCY For those who want a sampling of Pints of Joy’s unusual flavors, the flight option includes four mini scoops for

first pick. The flavor pairs rich Ghirardelli chocolate with a bright burst of orange juice, dotted with bits of orange rind that add texture and zing. When asked how they thought to pair the two unexpected flavors together, Dandekar said they took inspiration from Lindt’s orange-flavored chocolate bars.

“It’s such a super combination,” Dandekar said.

For my second scoop, I chose Alphonso Mango—a fruity option that instantly brought to mind tropical summers. Often called the “King of Mangoes,” Alphonsos are a rare and prized variety grown along India’s western coast. As co-owner Arshiya Shaikh explained, they’re celebrated for their creamy texture, intense sweetness, and vivid yellow-orange hue—all of which came through beautifully in the frozen treat. Dandekar says this has been one of the most popular flavors since they first opened.

Beyond the Alphonso’s reputation, the owners said mangoes in general are hugely popular in India, making the flavor an obvious choice for their menu. For Shaikh, the fruit evokes vivid memories of cultural traditions and celebrations.

“Mango is very Indian,” Shaikh said, chuckling.

The Biscoff Cookie flavor was my personal favorite: chewy bites of cookie swirled into the ice cream for a dessert that somewhat resembled an elevated version of cookies and cream. After indulging in that, I made my way to my last mini ice cream choice: Mulberry Cheesecake. The texture of the mulberries was an acquired taste for me, but for the berry flavor-lovers, this one’s a no-brainer.

Looking ahead, the pair hopes to expand. They already sell their products at the Apni Mandi Farmers Market store in Fremont, and hope to move

into other grocery stores, noting a desire to, in Dandekar’s words, “remain locally grounded.” They are also floating ideas for an ice cream truck and potential parlors in the East Bay and the Peninsula.

But for now, the two are enjoying their new Fremont community. Dandekar said she was very pleased to have Mayor Raj Salwan at the ribbon-cutting on April 24, and Shaikh added that they regularly have city council members stop by due to the office’s proximity to the ice cream parlor.

“We’ll have people from the city stop by and grab a small sample on their lunch break then come back in the evening and get a pint to take home,” Shaikh said. “It’s really nice.”

Pints of Joy, 40061 Mission Blvd., downtown Fremont. Open Tue–Sun, 1–9:30pm; closed Mondays.

$14.99.

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

BY GEORGIA NICOLS www.georgianicols.com.

All Signs: The most dramatic astrological event this week is that Saturn changes signs on Saturday. I’m going to discuss this next week because in the meantime, this week another event occurs, which is the Sun returning to Gemini for the first time in 11 months. Meanwhile, Monday is a lazy dreamy day, which will suit those who aren’t working. Midweek on Tuesday and Wednesday, everyone will bounce back to work with focused energy. The end of the week promises romance and fun socializing.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This week the pace of your days will accelerate for the next four weeks. Fortunately, fair Venus is in your sign, increasing your desire to get along with others. Because Venus ranks pleasure above work, you will easily attract social situations. This is timely because this is also a romantic week! Venus will help you increase your receptivity to others, while the Sun will increase your desire to communicate. In addition to this, your ruler fiery Mars will heighten your sexual desires and appetite for adventure!

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week the Sun will enter your Money House heightening your concerns with money, movable property and things you value. You will examine your relationship to the resources in your life. Does your “stuff” serve your needs or the other way around? (And let us not forget that you are the collector of the zodiac.) Meanwhile, you might make a special purchase and enjoy showing it off. With Mercury in your sign, you’re keen to express your views to others, especially about history and politics.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

This week the powerful Sun returns to your sign for the first time in a year. It will stay there for four weeks, boosting your confidence and energy. It will also attract people and favorable situations to you. Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships will help you schmooze with friends. Mars in your House of Communications will accelerate the tempo of your everyday life, while making

you identify with your ideas and beliefs. This is a fortunate time for you because Jupiter is still in your sign giving you divine protection.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

Your birthday is looming, and your personal year is ending. The next four weeks are the time to think about how well you’re doing at the art of living. This is an auspicious time to do this because next week, I’ll discuss the impact of Saturn on your sign. Discussions with younger people are significant right now. In fact, someone younger might prompt you to rethink your future goals. Meanwhile, fair Venus at the top of your chart, is creating favorable circumstances for your professional life. Venus will also make authority figures admire you!

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

This week ushers in a four-week window of increased popularity. This is also your chance to establish who you are with your friends. Be yourself without fear or apology. This is the best time of year to think about who you want in your life. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is still in your sign boosting your energy and giving you the ability to work out problems. (Mars will stay in your sign until June 17.) Grab every chance to travel or expand your world because you need this right now.

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

This week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it symbolizes a flattering spotlight shining down on you. This is why you might be offered increased responsibilities or a promotion. (You don’t have to do anything special—It’s smoke and mirrors.) Meanwhile, romance is affectionate and sexy! You’ll also enjoy any kind of study or further education because you’re eager for knowledge and new experiences. This is an excellent time to learn a new language.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

Exciting news! For the next four weeks, the Sun will travel through the part of your chart that makes you want to learn more and broaden your horizons. You’ll want to study new topics. You’ll want to travel and meet people from different backgrounds. Meanwhile, fair Venus is in the best position for all relationships— lovers, friends, coworkers, even enemies. Plus, fiery Mars is in your House of Friendships right now encouraging physical activity, such as athletics with groups. Now is the time to formulate your goals and actively pursue them.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

In the next four weeks, you’ll feel more passionate about life. This will happen for different reasons. You might

encounter somebody that produces a need for some psychological self-inquiry. Or you might meet someone who challenges your value structure? The result is you will want to experience life at a feeling level—not intellectual. Meanwhile, Mars at the top of your chart will arouse your ambition as never before. Fortunately, Venus will soften things, especially with coworkers.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

This week the Sun will move opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, you’ll need more sleep. That’s because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it can get all year. We’re not talking 93 million miles. We’re talking about 5 inches on your chart. Because the Sun represents your energy, your overall level of vitality will be lessened. Meanwhile, Venus is in one of the most fun-loving, playful parts of your chart, urging you to socialize and have a good time!

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

Each of us feels a shift of energy as the Sun changes signs this week. You will feel a strong desire to work and get better organized. By extension, you want to improve your health. This means physical efficiency will be a theme for you in the next four weeks. You’ll also enjoy redecorating where you live and entertaining at home. You will balance your hard work with amusing past times, especially reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. Romance with someone younger might blossom.

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

Lucky you! Once a year, the Sun takes four weeks to travel through the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. This means your primary drive will be to do what you want, and set your own priorities. You will feel lighter and happier! Your attitude toward your relationships will be warmer and easygoing. In fact, life will feel so good, you’ll appreciate the appearance of your daily surroundings in ways that you didn’t see before. (Actually, as you change the way you see your everyday world, your everyday world will change.)

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): For the next four weeks, your focus will be on home, family and your private life. Pool your energy with others and focus on stabilizing your personal world. All of you will contemplate your past and how you have arrived at where you are today. Meanwhile, fiery Mars will help you be productive, while fair Venus will attract money and favors to you, and encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It’s time to think more seriously about giving yourself the stable support that you need.

Fremont Afghans at risk after TPS ends

● Advocacy groups urge government to offer permanent protections

By Panashe Matemba-Mutasa

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security last week announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan, a move that could jeopardize the future of thousands of Afghan nationals living in the United States, including many in Fremont’s large Afghan community.

The TPS designation, originally granted in 2022 following the Taliban’s return to power, according to DHS, is set to expire May 20 and officially end July 12. The decision affects more than 9,000 Afghans nationwide. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said conditions in Afghanistan have improved, justifying the termination.

Fremont is often called “Little Kabul” and is home to an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Afghan immigrants. The city became a hub for Afghan refugees following the U.S. military withdrawal in 2021, according to the City of Fremont website. Local organizations and city officials mobilized quickly to provide aid, establishing resources like the Afghan Refugee Help Fund to assist with housing, education and healthcare.

Fremont is often called ‘Little Kabul’

Advocacy groups across the country are now urging the Trump administration and Congress to offer permanent protections, such as a pathway to residency, especially for those who aided U.S. forces or fled persecution.

Affected individuals are being encouraged to seek legal assistance immediately and connect with local organizations for support. Community leaders are also calling on allies to advocate for humane immigration policies that recognize the dangers many Afghans still face.

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

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

You may examine the file kept by the court.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid on a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 87976. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and

highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 4777869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING. com, using the file number assigned to this case 87976 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
