County Fair Starts on Friday

Board of Zoning Adjustments can’t decide on councilman’s fence

The annual Alameda Coun-ty Fair will begin this Friday through July 7 at the Fairgrounds in Pleasanton with new changes to boot.

Each year staff reviews com-ments from surveys and social media to improve the experience from previous years.

Reviewing survey results showed the staff that demo-graphics in the Tri-Valley area have changed and have become more diverse than it was 5 years ago, which means that on top of the traditional festivals there will be new festivals for new demographics.

The new festivals include “Out at the Fair,” “Aly & AJ,” “Asian Pacific Celebration” and “Bollywood at the Fair” rep-resenting LGBTQ, Asian and Indian culture.

New attractions are in store for everyone going to the Alameda County Fair this year, along with all the popular longtime attractions like horse racing, livestock exhibits, concerts, carnival rides and fresh, roasted corn on the cob.

A decision on City Council-man Victor Aguilar’s fence finally came up last Thursday night at the meeting of the Board of Zoning Adjustments.

And after all was said, the board wound up sitting on the fence. They put off the decision until the next meeting in August, as two members of the board were absent.

The question is, can Aguilar keep his 6-foot high fence that extends out to a foot from the sidewalk on the side of his house? The fence doesn’t comply with the city zoning laws, though Agu-ilar says he talked to his neigh-bors and none of them minded.

“I’m trying to abide by the rules,” said Aguilar. “I’ll do whatever it takes to come into compliance.”

But Aguilar’s opponent in the last election, former Councilman Lee Thomas, has a different take.

“I find it interesting that the same person who spoke against my fence built an illegal fence in his own yard,” Thomas said.

Thomas, who was defeated by Aguilar for the District 3 City Council seat in November, applied for a variance to build a fence of his own in 2017. Thomas was initially granted approval, but after his next-door neighbor complained that the fence would block their view backing out of

their driveway, the issue went to the same Board of Zoning Adjustments.

Thomas eventually pulled his request after several other

Man with Machete Shot By Police

A man on Martin Boulevard who was suspected of walking around with a machete and ex-posing himself was shot and killed by police on his porch after he reportedly pulled out an object that resembled a handgun, according to police.

Police were called to the 600 block of Martin Boulevard just north of Davis Street on Wednes-day just after 4 p.m. after a caller said a man with a machete had dropped his pants in front of a group of children.

Police arrived as the man was seen walking back to his house and dropping the machete. The man, who police described as a 56 year old, sat down on the porch and police tried to talk to him over a loudspeaker.

POLICE & FIRE85-Year-Old Says He Got Swarmed by Bicyclists Demanding Money

85-year-old Richard Cantua just experienced a new phenom-enon called swarming.

“Do you know what swarm-ing is?” Cantua asks. “Well, I’ll tell you.”

Cantua said he was heading to the Lucky supermarket and had just turned from Lewelling onto Hesperian Boulevard when a group of kids on bicycles started circling his car.

“I had to stop or I would have run over them,” Cantua said. “They started banging on the car and one guy was yelling, ‘Five dollars!’ I laid on the horn.”

The car windows were down a little and one guy put his hand in the window, Cantua said.

“I could hear the other guys trying to open the doors, you could hear the clicking,” he said.

Finally the kids moved enough for him to go by. The next light was green, but the one after that was red, and Cantua could see the bicyclists chasing him.

At the red light, they sur-rounded the car again. One guy put a dent in his right front fender.

“It was pretty traumatic,” said Cantua who has lived in San Leandro for 35 years. “I’m

no youngster. I wouldn’t be able to fight off those kids if I had to.”

After the light changed, Can-tua said he kept going on Hesperi-an and then turned into the BART entrance, though he worried that he could be trapped in the park-ing lot. So he continued down a frontage road.

After that, he couldn’t see the bikes following him anymore, so he turned back and continued on to the Lucky store where he called 911.

Cantua said when the police arrived they told him this happens all the time. He said the kids looked between 12 and 15 and were of all races. Despite being frightened, Cantua said he un-derstands that it’s probably kids who don’t have a parent around for guidance.

Cantua was still a little shak-en up as he went into Lucky. He said he worried that this sort of thing could cause an elderly per-son to have a heart attack because it’s so startling.

Another shopper he passed going down the aisle asked him if he was okay, Cantua said. He told the man what had just happened.

“And he said to me, ‘I know, the same thing just happened to my wife,’” Cantua said.

CV Women’s Club CelebratedTheir 70th Anniversary

Comedy in thePlaza at SLLibrary

Members of The Castro Valley Women’s Club recent-ly celebrated their 70th anni-versary at the beautiful home of Sandy Schnieder in Castro Valley.

“Traveling Through Time” was the theme that began with a Champagne toast to seven decades with members enjoy-ing a buffet lunch, prepared by Liz Hartman and Joe Inglellis, a birthday cake, balloons and music.

There were plenty of scrapbooks and memorabilia for everyone to enjoy. Long-

time members reminisced and newer members had the oppor-tunity to learn of the club’s rich history.

Following lunch, eighth grade journalism teacher Nicole Bessolo and her stu-dents, Maddie and Marlena, showed a video where they interviewed club members about club events and philan-thropic projects. The students interviewed club members Jill Angel, Cheryl Lowe, Marilyn Rapoport and Stephanie Bige-low.

The Interact Club students

from Castro Valley High School were on hand helping with most everything, serv-ing and escorting people. Ron Darcey was on hand with valet parking.

Musical entertainment was provided by Shane Shar-key from the Castro Valley School of Music. Lois Ingellis and Cheryl Lowe planned the party, and Marilyn Rapoport was honored for her 60 year membership with the club. Rapoport was brought in to the CVWC by club founder Helen Fowler.

Members of the Castro Valley Women’s Club gathered to celebrate the club’s 70th anniversary.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): A change of season reinvigorates the Lamb, helping to overcome the effects of a recent slower-paced period. This is a good time to restate your feelings for that certain someone.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): You might not like using your authority to correct a workplace situation, but that’s what being placed in charge is all about. Besides, you have people ready to lend support if need be.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Your creativity continues to run high and helps guide you to make some fine choices in the work you’re doing. Keep the weekend free for those special people in your life.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals.

LEO (July 23 - August 22): This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future.

VIRGO (August 23 - Sept. 22): You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - October 22): This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20): You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary. Good luck.

Fence: Council opponents see things from opposite side of the fencecontinued from front page

The fence on City Councilman Victor Aguilar’s side yard isn’t allowed under city zoning laws and will have to be changed unless the Board of Zoning Adjustments grants him a variance.

TIMES FILE PHOTO “ People said, ‘Hey, Lee, what about his fence? So I checked.

— Lee Thomas

“ We ran against each other. I won. And then I hear from Code Enforcement.

— Victor Aguilar

Victor Aguilar Lee Thomas

neighbors agreed with the com-plaint, and people speculated that Thomas was initially granted approval because of his position on the City Council.

Since then, the council has passed an ordinance that deci-sions like this be reviewed by an independent third party, not city staff, which might be influenced by a council member’s position.

Aguilar’s fence isn’t legal under city zoning laws, which Aguilar said he didn’t know when

he built the fence two years ago. But the Board of Zoning

Adjustments can do just that – make adjustments. And the city staff report recommended that the board allow the fence, saying it didn’t pose any danger or cause aesthetic problems.

So the board could have voted yes, agreeing with the rec-ommendation to allow the fence to remain. Or voted no, meaning Aguilar would have to either shorten his fence or move it back away from the sidewalk.

The board went back and forth, casting several votes, but couldn’t reach a consensus. With

two board members absent – Ken Pon and Tony Breslin – and board chair Rick Solis excusing himself because he owns property near Aguilar’s house, there were only four members left to vote.

So it would have to be unan-imous, a 4-0 decision (a majority of the 7-member board). But board member Michael Santos opposed the staff recommenda-tion to allow the fence as it is.

“This is the second time in a year a politician has come before us (about a fence),” said Santos, sounding a little ticked off that Aguilar even showed up. “I think this one is a lot more egregious.”

Allan Calder, senior planner

at Rincon Consultants, and a con-tract planner with the City of San Leandro, told the board he recom-mended the fence be allowed. He said if the board didn’t allow the variance, the fence would have to be lowered to 4 feet where it is now, or moved back from the sidewalk by 6 feet.

Aguilar told this newspaper that if he was just a regular citizen, the board would have allowed the fence and it would all be settled.

But last year, Aguilar spoke against Thomas being allowed an out-of-compliance fence, plus he posted on social media in support of Thomas’ neighbor

complaining about the fence, accusing Thomas of not being a good neighbor.

Since that time, Aguilar ran against Thomas for the District 3 City Council seat. Aguilar won and political observers say that the issue of Thomas’ fence could have made the difference in the election.

After the meeting, Aguilar said: “We ran against each other.

I won. And then I hear from Code Enforcement.”

Thomas admits he asked city officials about Aguilar’s fence. Thomas said people around

the neighborhood asked, “Hey, Lee, what about his fence?’ So I checked.”

At one point, Santos made a motion to just send the decision to the City Council. But the As-

sistant City Attorney said that’s not permissible.

So the decision will come back to the Board of Zoning Adjustments at the next meeting on Aug. 1 at 7 p.m. at City Hall, and the board will make a deci-sion then if all its members are in attendance.

A Treat for Dad – and His Heart!

his Sunday marks the 97th consecutive year that Father’s Day has been

observed in the United States. One thing that hasn’t changed in all those years is that most dads enjoy being treated to a great breakfast at home or at their favorite restaurant. What has changed is a new appreciation of what’s healthy and what isn’t. No longer does Dad’s manly breakfast have to be awash in fat and cholesterol. Omelets, frittatas, waffles, French toast— almost any egg dish can be prepared with whole-egg substitutes like Egg Beaters or ReddiEgg, which incor-porate the nutritional value of eggs but not the calories or cholesterol.

GOLDEN WAFFLESWITH STRAWBERRIES

2 cups flour

T 2 tablespoons sugar1 tablespoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1-1/2 cups fat free milk1/2 cup egg substitute1/4 cup melted margarine1 teaspoon vanilla extractNo-stick cooking spray2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, washed and hulledWhipped topping, optional Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl with wire whisk to evenly distrib-ute the ingredients. Add milk, egg substitute, margarine and vanilla. Blend with wire whisk until batter is smooth and lump-free. Batter should be thick but pourable. Spray grids of hot waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1/3-cup batter onto hot waffle iron. Cook according to manufacturer’s suggestion.

Place cooked waffles on wire rack while cooking more waffles. Divide strawberries over waffles. Serve with whipped topping or confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Makes 8 servings. Nutritional information per serving: 202 cal., 5g fat, 7g pro-tein, 585mg sodium, 31g carb,.

CINNAMONFRENCH TOAST

1 cup egg substitute1/3 cup fat-free milk1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon vanilla extractNo-stick cooking spray10 slices favorite breadMaple or berry syrup Preheat oven to 200°F. Whisk together egg substitute, milk, cin-namon and vanilla in shallow me-dium bowl; set aside. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray;

heat over medium heat. Dip 3 or 4 of the bread slices into egg mixture, turning to even-ly coat both sides of each slice. Add to skillet; cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on both sides. Place toast slices on baking sheet; cover with foil. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining egg mixture and bread slices. Serve with syrup, if desired. Makes 5 two-slice servings. Nutritional information per serving: 190 cal., 2g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 100 mg sodium, 38g carbohydrates, 6g fiber, 13g protein.

MUSHROOM & BACONQUICHE

1 refrigerated pie crust (half of a 15-ounce package)1 tablespoon vegetable margarine1 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms3/4 cup chopped yellow onion 3 slices fully cooked and drained bacon, chopped1-1/4 cups (10-oz) Egg Substitute 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese1/4 teaspoon black pepper Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll crust and place in 9-inch deep dish pie plate; pierce crust with fork. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Melt margarine in medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; saute 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat; set aside. Combine bacon, egg substitute, half-and-half, cheese and pepper in medium bowl. Stir in mush-room-onion mixture. Pour into baked crust. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes on wire rack. Cut into wedges; serve immediate-ly. Yields 8 servings.

CARAMELIZED ONION & PARMESAN OMELET

1 tablespoon vegetable margarine1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced4-1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegarOlive oil no-stick cooking spray1/4 cup arugula1/2 teaspoon minced garlic3/4 cup egg substitute1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese1/4 teaspoon black pepper For onions: heat margarine and oil in medium saute pan over me-dium-low heat. When margarine has melted, add onions; stir to coat. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. When onions have softened and start to brown, add vinegar.

Cook onions an additional 20 minutes or until very soft and dark brown in color. Reserve 1/3 cup of the onions for omelet. Cool and store remaining onions in an airtight container for an-other use. For omelet: lightly spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cook-ing spray; heat over medium heat. Add the reserved onions, arugula and garlic to skillet. Saute 1 minute or until arugula has wilted. Combine egg subsitute, cheese and pepper; pour mixture into skillet. Cook untouched 1 minute or until edges begin to set. Gently pull edges towards center to allow uncooked portion to run beneath. Repeat twice; cover with lid. Continue cook-ing 1 to 2 minutes more or until center is set. Fold omelet in half. Cut in half; serve immediately. Yields 2 servings.

City Councilman Benny Lee will speak about how to do busi-ness in a multi-cultural society on Wednesday, June 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Main Library, 300 Estudillo Ave., hosted by the Asian Business Alliance.

Lee, a second generation Chinese American, will share his experiences and how he over-came challenges while working in the financial industry. He has worked in import/export, manu-facturing, financial services, and government. He has over 30 years experience in the field of technol-ogy and data management.

The second generation Chi-nese American currently serves as the director of San Mateo Coun-ty’s Public Wi-Fi program along with representing them on the na-tional stage collaborating with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Telecom and Information Admin-istration (NTIA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on innovation and cybersecurity

programs. Asian Business Alliance sup-

ports Asian businesses and pro-fessionals through networking, education, communication and community involvement. Each month, Asian Business Alliance will host a speaker from a dif-ferent culture to share their chal-lenges operating in the American culture and a view of their best business practices based on their beliefs and traditions.

Lee to Speak on Business In Multi-Cultural World

Fair: Concerts, racing continued from front page

Benny Lee

Each new festival will intro-duce its own entertainment and food to the fair. The Asian Pacific Celebration will have Hawaiian Honey Cones, 3 Brothers Kitchen and Kiss My Boba.

One day admission tickets will be $10 for kids six through twelve-years-old, $10 for people over 62-years-old and $15 for adults. Ticket prices can be lower online at alamedacountyfair.com.

Redesigned Fair LayoutThe fair’s infrastructure was

changed to move around attrac-tions, such as moving the pony rides to the grandstands across from Palm Pavillion to make moving around easier.

This year will also be the first year that the fair includes eSports competition. The two eSports will be Street Fighter on June 22 and Smash Brothers on June 29, the competitions will be near the Red Gate Entrance in Country Plaza.

New seating and misting ar-eas have been added. Old water fountains have been repurposed to become water bottle refilling stations.

Nightly ConcertsThe nightly concert series at

8 p.m. will feature 18 artists with genres ranging from Rock and R&B to Blues and Country and a nightly fireworks show following concert performances. War will play on Friday night, followed by Ashanti on Saturday, and Ramon Ayala Yolanda del Rio on Sunday.

Other performers include a Bruno Mars tribute band, Lov-erboy, Sheila E., KISS tribute, the Gin Blossoms, and Tommy Castro and the Painkillers among others.

The fireworks begin at 9:30

p.m. at the Bud Light Concert Lawn and are free with fair ad-mission.

Horse RacingLive horse racing will be

free with fair admission Thurs-day through Sunday, starting at 1:45 p.m. For $50 fans will be able to use the Sky Lounge for the first time, an air conditioned room on the fourth floor of the grandstand with a view of the racetrack alongside TV monitors and betting machines.

The carnival midway will have over 20 rides, such as the White Water Log Flume, where passengers will go up a hill on two separate logs and then plunge down from a waterslide.

A 100 foot ferris wheel “Gi-ant Wheel” and roller coasters have unique themes, such as the Pole Position Coaster. Each of the coaster cars are painted to look like race cars and use sound effects when turning corners as it spins around the track.

This year the Action Sports Arena will introduce motorcycle racing through Arenacross Na-tionals racing alongside tradition-al Monster Trucks, extreme rodeo and Demolition Derbies where different shows will be featured each weekend.

Urban Farming and Backyard Farming Techniques are new activities for this year’s STEAM activities where youth can learn about farming techniques such as hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil by using mineral nutrients, and solar power at the AgVenture Park.

The fair will be free everyday for military with ID and veterans with proof of service.

Admission is free to everyone on opening day, Friday, until 3 p.m.

There’s no place like Home Equity Lines of Credit.Special introductory rate at 3.99% APR.

Equal Housing Lender | Member FDIC | NMLS #478471

Fremont Bank’s Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) provide an easy way to access your home’s available equity during the draw period to pay for major expenses such as home improvement projects, medical bills, consolidating debt, and more. Now, we are offering a rate of 3.99% APR* on our HELOC Interest Only and HELOC 360 products for your first 9 billing cycles on the initial advance taken at closing of $20,000 or greater.

Find out how easy it is to access your home’s equity. Contact us today at (877) 969-1846 to learn more.

*Offer available for new applications submitted by 6/30/19. The introductory rate promotion applies to new Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) on single family, owner-occupied primary and second homes only; excludes investment property and purchase combo (“piggyback”) second liens. The promotional Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be fixed at the 3.99% introductory rate for 9 billing cycles. After the introductory rate period ends, the loan will become a variable rate loan and all remaining balances will convert to the variable rate based on the Prime Rate in effect as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin, per the terms of borrower’s credit agreement. The minimum monthly payments will be interest-only payments. An initial Advance of $20,000 or greater is required at closing or upon the end of rescission period. An initial Advance amount of less than $20,000 is not eligible for the introductory rate. All home loan programs are subject to credit qualification, income verification, and collateral evaluation. Additional restrictions, limitations and exclusions may apply. Property insurance, may include flood insurance, required. Home Equity Line of Credit features variable rates based on the Prime Rate published each day in The Wall Street Journal Money Rates Table (the “Index”), plus a margin. The APR can change monthly, but will not vary above 18% APR, or below 2.99% APR for 1-4 family owner-occupied/second homes. For non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes the APR will not go below 4.99%. The index as of the last date changed on 12/20/18 is 5.50%. As of 12/20/18, the variable rate for home equity credit lines of $20,000-$250,000, with a combined-loan-to-value ratio (CLTV) up to 75% range from 5.375% APR to 6.00% APR on an owner-occupied 1-4 family residence and from 6.75% APR to 7.00% APR on non-owner occupied 1-4 family homes. APR includes a 0.50% interest rate discount for maintaining automatic loan payments (ALP) from a Fremont Bank personal checking account. ALP discount only applicable as long as automatic payments are set up from a Fremont Bank personal checking account. Only one ALP discount per home equity line of credit will apply. The removal of any discount will increase the rate. Higher rates may apply for credit limits below $20,000 or above $250,000, and/or lien position. Rates are subject to change without notice. We may reduce or suspend your credit limit if any of the conditions that existed at the time your HELOC was opened change significantly, such as the value of your home declines, we reasonably believe you may no longer be able meet the repayment terms, or you default on a material provision of your HELOC agreement. Paying the minimum interest only monthly payments will not repay the principal that is outstanding on your line. Your monthly payment may increase, possibly substantially, once your credit line transitions into the repayment period. The $250 Application Fee and $95 Set-Up Charge are waived when you apply by 6/30/19. You may also be required to pay certain fees to open this credit line. These fees generally total between $0 and $900. The $75 Annual Fee is waived for the first three years. After the third (3rd) year, during the Draw Period, you will be required to pay an Annual Fee of $75 for each year the account is open, whether it is used or not. The Annual Fee will not be refunded in whole or in part and will be owed to the bank once it is posted to your account, even if the account is subsequently changed, frozen, closed or terminated for any reason. For credit lines of $25,000 and higher, if you terminate your HELOC account within 36 months of opening it, you will be required to pay an early closure fee of $500 plus any reconveyance and recording fees Fremont Bank paid on your behalf. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges.

Have you ever left your office feeling drained from an 8-hour workday — but also frustrated because you got little accomplished? Join the crowd. Many Ameri-cans struggle to get things done at work; over half spend less than one-fourth of their time in the office on priority, dead-line-driven assignments. The day gets away from us for a variety of reasons, studies show – everything from emails to meetings, project or customer issues, social media use, con-versations and conflicts with co-workers. It’s important to know what those time and energy drains are

Is Work Draining? How To Cut Distractions And Boost EnergyBy Cynthia Howard

Special to the Timesthat lower productivity and to implement a strategy to mini-mize distractions and maximize work time. There is a vicious cycle of distractions that fill the typical workday and interfere with getting the job done. People need to learn to focus in ways that get beyond the distractions and stress. It calls for resilient thinking. Here are four common workplace energy drains and solutions for them: • Shortage of time. Constant interruptions and the inability to concentrate compel many people to spend their energy and internal resources on the most urgent issues that show up. This leaves the most important work sidelined.

As most already know, the opiate epidemic has been wors-ening, each year claiming more lives than the last. What is less known by the general public is the problem with Methamphetamines has been growing over the last several years as well. The most recent data from the 2017 Na-tional Survey on Drug Use found that some 964,000 people age 12 or older had a metham-phetamine use disorder. This large number of Meth-amphetamine use can lead to some very serious problems in communities; higher crime rates, destroyed families, and many risks to public health. Methamphetamines are made by combining chemicals that can be explosive in bad cases, as well as causing long term property damage from toxic chemicals. Houses where a meth lab was in operation can retain chemicals which are hazardous to those who live in the house afterwards. In fact, even use of the drug within an apartment, home, or trailer can cause negative health effects long after the user or producer has moved one. More and more communities each year deal with this prob-lem and it is an expensive thing to repair, with decontamination costing thousands of dollars to inhabitants and landlords both. These problems are far from victimless with acute health effects that include lack of coor-dination, chest pains, and burns to skin, eyes, nose, and mouth. Possible chronic long-lasting problems may include respi-ratory irritability, neurological damage, and liver and kidney damage. In these times it is important that families are aware of both the signs of methamphetamine

use and abuse. In addition, com-munity members need to be on the lookout for signs their house was used prior for methamphet-amine production or use. For more information on signs of methamphetamine abuse, visit https://www.narcononnewliferetreat.org/drug-abuse-information/signs-of-methamphet-amine-abuse.html Luke Nichols is community re-lations director of the nonprofit Narconon Coporation.

Meth Abuse a Growing Drug ProblemBy Luke NicholsSpecial to the Times

So you need a time strategy to manage interruptions. The best way is sticking with an op-erational plan that makes clear the time involved to do your job correctly or, if you’re a leader, a plan that details your team’s tasks and how time-sensitive those are. The less-important interruptions won’t be allowed to get in the way. • Lack of priorities. Having too much work to do can make it difficult to establish priorities and easy to get sidetracked by everyone else’s issues. The solution begins with having clarity of your long-term goals and letting the priority list flow from there. Visualize your work.Use whiteboards to show the workflow. Also, limit your work in progress. Spreading yourself too thin results in errors and burn-out. • Status quo. Most organi-zations have their sacred cows — the untouchable subjects, protocols, or people who contin-ue to operate within the system without any scrutiny. This conditioning creates a mental default mode and change is re-sisted. But you can get beyond the status quo and the resistance by asking yourself and/or your team three questions: 1) What if we … ? 2) What would it take …? 3) How can we …? • Office politics – i.e., drama. Drama drains energy faster than anything else. It’s what most

people in the workplace com-plain about. Progress toward solutions starts with your own drama self-check. Ask yourself these questions: Do you compromise to avoid conflict and feel resentful? Do you use intimidation to get your way? Are you impatient when things don’t go your way? Do you take feedback as a per-sonal attack? Do you feel your opinions don’t matter? Then what will you do differently to extricate yourself from drama, or to develop boundaries with those who engage in it? Work has become a major stressor for people. Making progress is a major motivator for most, but chronic distraction dulls momentum and demands a new approach for one to move forward.

RECENT HOME SALES

Life is full of golden windows: in photogra-phy, it is that magical time just after sunrise

or before sunset when the light is soft and warm. For coffee drinkers, it is that slim period when your beverage is neither too hot or cold. For home sellers, it is the first two weeks after their home goes live. To understand the golden window in real estate, it is important to know how buyers think. Typically, buyers stream toward new listings like ants to a picnic. They write offers and, if not accepted, look for the next new listing. Most buyers have already seen everything currently on the market, so a new listing has the same effect on buyer wan-nabes as tossing a steak into a tank full of sharks. There are three key com-ponents (the 3 Ps) in selling: Preparation, Pricing and

LSellers: Don’t Miss The Golden Window

Promotion. If all three Ps are maximized, in a normal market, a home should get offers within two weeks. If none materialize then one or more of the 3 Ps is not perfect. In most cases, it is the Price keeping buyers at bay. For sellers getting ready to put their homes on the market, there are three important things to consider: Since the first 14 days are the most critical, do not price too high. Today’s buyers are extremely knowledgeable about home pricing. Sites such as Realtor.com and Zillow make it easy for buyers to get approximate valuations. If a buyer sees a price that is not in line with the market, they will simply stay away. Sellers who price too high hoping a buyer will come in lower are only fooling themselves. Since buyers are motivated by new listings, the best offers are the first ones. Many sellers, seeing offers come in immediately, think they may get higher offers if they wait. In fact, the exact op-posite happens. The first offers are usually always the best: the longer a seller waits, the lower offers go. If you do not get offers in the first 14 days, act deci-

sively. Evaluate the 3 Ps and respond appropriately. Do it quickly – since buyers respond better to newer listings, the longer yours sits, the less likely they are to visit. Want to get the best price and terms? Remember the 3 Ps. If you get them all right, you can use the golden window to strike real gold.

Add a bit of cool flavor to your beverages and meals this summer with homegrown mint. Try using peppermint leaves in fruit cocktails and ice cream. Add spearmint to your tea or use the leaves to season lamb and jelly. Or try chocolate mint for a unique sweet and refreshing fla-vor in desserts and drinks. This vigorous plant is easy to grow and suited to container gardens. In fact, growing it in a pot will help keep this vigorous herb contained. Or sink a con-tainer of mint in the garden or plant where surrounding walks and walls will keep this vigorous plant contained. Grow mint in a full sun to partial shade location with moist well-drained soil. Mulch the soil to conserve moisture. Water thoroughly whenever the soil is

thawed and dry. Harvest the leaves as needed. Cutting leafy stems off the plant just above a healthy leaf or bud will encourage compact tidy growth. Pick mint just before flowering for the most intense flavor. Include a container of mint in your patio, balcony or deck plantings. Keeping it close to the kitchen and outdoor living space will make it easy for you to harvest and use. Plus, your guests will enjoy plucking a few fresh mint leaves to add to their iced tea, mojito or favorite sum-mer beverage or salad. Not only does this easy to grow herb add flavor, but it also aids digestion. Add a garnish of mint to dress up dessert plates or provide it to a loved one to calm a queasy stomach. And use it to increase the manganese, vitamin C and vitamin A levels in your diet.

Mint is easy to grow, suited to container gardens and helps aid digestion.

I enjoy gardening in medium to large size plastic pots, however I’m concerned about

the roots when the temperatures get hot. Will the heat permeate through the plastic pots and burn the roots? Other than buying clay pots, what else can I do?

This is a legitimate concern. It’s a bigger issue for those plants

growing in the same container for several growing seasons than with new plantings. Over time, roots reach the sides and fill the container while the insulating soil layer disappears. Plastic containers have a thin wall and the heat transfers directly through it when hit by the sun, damaging any of the roots next to the wall. I’d be concerned with established Japanese maples, camellias, citrus, roses and oth-er ornamentals. Containers with established plants are difficult

to keep moist during hot, dry weather. There is little soil to hold moisture and lots of roots so water stress occurs quickly. The late afternoon sun is the most critical as this is when the temperatures are peaking. The heat factor is influenced by the color of the container. White or other bright colors will reflect heat while earth tones and dark colors absorb the heat. When the temperatures are over 75°, water frequently. Be sure to fill the containers to the brim and empty the water from any saucer; better yet, remove the saucer altogether. It’s almost impossible to overwater plants in containers when the water flows out the bottom. Root rot and other problems are more likely to occur from the constant wicking action when water is left in a saucer, not to mention the West Nile Virus concern from breeding mosquitoes. The best time of the day to water plants is in the morning before 11. With 90°F or higher temperatures, water daily. A second application may be necessary in the late afternoon

for those plants in the heat of the day sun. It’s advisable to apply a wet-ting agent such as Grow More E-Z Wet or a similar product to increase the water flow through a root bound plant. Besides frequent watering, here are some other things you can do. Move those containers in the afternoon sun to a shadier location when the temperature is over 90°F. These plants can survive temporarily in shady conditions since our typical heat spells only last a couple of days.

Planting dollies or walkers with wheels make this a simple task and are available at your favorite garden center. Another option is to place the plastic pot inside a larger container, the so-called pot in pot method. You need to leave at least a two-inch space between the containers that is then filled with small bark to increase the insulation.

Edward Louis Johnson passed away on Tuesday, June 4th at 2:00AM in the Palo Alto VA Hospital at the age of 71. His son Ron and his life-partner Susan were at his side.

He will be deeply missed by many friends in the Tahoe, Alta, and East Bay Areas.

Eddie was a Marine combat veteran and the recipient of the Purple Heart during his tour of duty in the Republic of Vietnam. He also

Edward Louis Johnson

received the Vietnam Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Rifle Marksmanship Badge. He was a brave member of USMC India Company 3rd Battalion 4th Marines 3rd Marine Division.

Eddie was a cherished partner; a beloved son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, cousin, and uncle; a man of exemplary strength and courage coupled with extraordinary humility, honesty, integrity, and wit.

A Marine, a child of God, and a son of Oakland, Eddie was born to Dorothy and Mervyn Johnson of Oakland in 1948. He spent many happy summers with his brothers and sister at the family summer home in Alta, California. He graduated from Skyline High School in 1966. He proudly served the country he loved so dearly and upon Honorable Discharge from Active Duty returned to Oakland to work for the City. He later worked in the warehousing, retail, and hospitality fields.

Upon relocation to Tahoe City, Eddie became a popular bartender where he uplifted and entertained new celebrities and old-timers alike.

Returning to the Bay Area, Eddie dedicated his time as a peer counselor and volunteer to the VA's Project Care Program.

Finally settling in San Leandro, CA, Eddie became a well-regarded resident. Many neighbors commented that he was the kindest, most vigilant, and dedicated man they had ever met.

A lifetime dog lover, he was tireless in caring for man's best friend.Both Tahoe and Oakland friends will recall his love of the Raiders, A’s, and Warriors; his

entrepreneurial spirit; his neighborhood watch programs; and the depths of his selflessness when it came to helping a friend.

Edward is survived by his son SFC Ron Hesson of the US Army (Courtney); by his stepson Dr. A Adedipe (Christine); by his siblings Judy Gigliotti (Jim), Jim Johnson (Heidi), and Robert Johnson (Jill); his grandchildren Ashley, Drew, Adaley, and Hudson; his great-grandson JJ; his nephews Brad, Luke, and Dane; and his nieces Chris and Lisa.

The family will hold a private memorial in Alta in July.Contributions in Edward's memory may be made to

Wounded Warrior Project, ASPCA, or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Louise Ortiz PerezLouise Ortiz Perez, a native

of Arkansas, Louise was born on July 17, 1933. She is the loving mother of Cathie Dumas Rose (Dennis) of Livermore, Yolanda Ortiz Bonadona (Joe) of San Ramon, Jamie Ortiz of San Leandro and Tonya Nickles Cortez (Rafael) of Alameda. She was the very adored Nana to Mariah Jones, Dakota McDowell, Michael Ponte, Justin Dumas, Mandi McKean, Malena, Mia and Izabella Ortiz and Rafael and Arianna Cortez. She was the cherished great-grandmother of Elliana and Rylynn. Louise was excitedly anticipating the birth of a great grandson on June 19th. She was predeceased by her husbands, Orlando Ortiz (1982) and David Perez (2005).

She was a Foster Parent with Alameda County for over 20 years and provided love and shelter to many deserving children. Louise was employed with the San Leandro Police Department as a Traffic Controller for 25 years. She loved watching and cheering on the Giants and Warriors.

Louise moved to Baywood Court in 2016. She thoroughly enjoyed the friendships she made there. She became the President of the Baywood Council and proudly served in that capacity. Baywood allowed Louise to enjoy and appreciate her sunset years.

A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 1 p.m. at Jess Spencer Mortuary, 21228 Redwood Rd., in Castro Valley. A reception will follow. A private family burial was held.

JOHNSON, Edward LouisLUCERO, Howard P.PEREZ, LouiseSCHANTZ, Faye Meier

Faye Meier SchantzMay 15, 1928 – May 4, 2019

On May 4, 2019, Faye passed away at age 90. Faye was born in Hayes, Kansas. Faye graduated from Fremont Oakland High School in Oakland, California, in 1946. While in high school, Faye met her husband to be, Peter Schantz, and they both knew it was meant to be.

Faye spent her college years working as a secretary in the Music Department at Mills College. Faye & Peter were married in 1947 and had two sons, David and Joel. They bought their new home in San Leandro in 1954 and lived there until moving to Baywood Court in 2016.

Faye & Peter were original members of the Nautilus Club in San Leandro (now 24Hour Fitness-Bayfair), beginning in 1970. Faye and Peter went there nearly every early weekday morning for 46 years, where they built a community of friends who became family over the years.

Faye’s hobby was talking to people. There was no such thing as a stranger. Faye and Peter never forgot a friend and gave support when anyone needed it. Faye and Peter attended countless school plays, little league games and community events. Every former stranger became family.

Faye is survived by her husband, Peter Schantz of Castro Valley, her son Joel Schantz of Fremont, her brother Robert Meier of Hayes, Kansas, and many “adopted” children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held August 24th. For details, please email [email protected] or contact Peter.

LETTERS to the EDITOR

City Asks for Higher Taxes While‘Throwing Away Free Money’Editor: Why is the San Leandro city council always crying poor mouth? The level of driving in this city is about the lowest anywhere. An Italian town got tired of speeders and stop sign runners and issued 28,000 tickets in one month. Here that would mean about three million dollars of income and would also give us far safer roads. At night I can hear hot cars coming around the corner next to my home and floor-boarding them and you can hear them go through the four way stop in two places up the road. Exactly why do they throw away free money and ask for higher taxes?

—Tom KunichSan Leandro

Glad to See Mayor ShuttingDown Marina Homeless SiteEditor: Thank you Mayor Cutter for shut-ting down the San Leandro Marina “homeless” encampment. Some seem to think we owe the homeless services and facilities wherever they end up settling on our public land or someone else’s private property, despite the filth, disease, and crime that comes with such commu-nities. I say finally, a leader who leads in favor of our residents, the ones who have to pay for these properties’ up-keep and taking care of these “home-less.” I feel better about my safety without the presence of trash, feces, needles, crime, and unsightly nature of this type of camping out which has become so commonplace in cities like San Fran-cisco. Mayor, we need more of your kind of leadership which preserves the beauty and safety of our city instead of letting vagrants trash it like other cities have. Bravo to you!

—Corey AndersonSan Leandro

Blames Expansion of HomelessEncampments on DemocratsEditor: The article about the RVs at the San Leandro Marina provides some revealing information about the hypoc-risy of the California Democrats who

propose all kind of projects to provide housing for the growing number of homeless people or to prevent others from becoming homeless too, leave other Democrats to shelve the projects or to make a long list of amendments until they’re made irrelevant and, if all of that fails, then there’s always the Governor’s veto. It’s the Democrats modus operandi; they’re as much inept in Washington. The fake news media also makes sure to write daily articles about hous-ing projects or legislation that never materialize, in a concerted effort of electoral propaganda. Then, we also have the local hypo-crites like Ken Kellogg, who expresses concern about the encampments along BART tracks and he also cares so much about those living in their RVs that he suggests to “Charge a permit fee for parking/for a dumpster and access to the boat area bathrooms.” It shows how out of touch he is with the subject he addresses. Ken Kellogg is the same guy who attacks my articles that demand housing for seniors and a meaningful Rent Control ordinance. Meanwhile, the homeless encamp-ments are expanding in and around California’s cities; it’s the joy of living in a Democratic Party run state with sanctuary for criminals, the highest taxes and rent and the highest price for gasoline, among many other niceties, thanks to the gullible Democratic Party voters who fall for every one of the party’s hoaxes. No wonder Ken Kel-

logg and all of the democrats oppose Real Voter ID, that’d end their control in Sacramento when unregistered peo-ple, illegals and criminals are purged from the Registrar of Voters.

—Leo T. WestSan Leandro

Looking Forward for DevelopmentAt Old Mervyn’s SiteEditor: As a life-long resident of San Lorenzo and homeowner, my neigh-bors and I are looking forward to the new Demmon Properties development planned for the old Mervyn’s site in San Lorenzo Village. Both the apart-ments and the retail stores are needed in our area. Speaking as a private individual, but one who actively supports our schools, the development would be a huge asset for our schools. The proposal to offer a significant discount in rent to teachers would make a fundamental differ-ence to many of our newer teachers, and would help us attract and retain teachers. The San Lorenzo school dis-trict’s enrollment numbers have been dropping slightly each year, so the schools have plenty of room for any new children who might reside in those apartments. Of course, the developer fees paid to the district would also be very helpful to the school district. There are some who seem to want a “perfect” building, with more retail for example, but we have been waiting decades for something to be built there! Once it opens, it is likely to at-tract more stores, restaurants, and other retail to downtown San Lorenzo due to the increase in foot traffic. It may also inspire some serious investors in reviv-ing the Lorenzo Theater. I believe we should give this project the chance it deserves.

—Penny PeckSan Leandro

INQUIRING REPORTERWho’s your hero? — Asked at the main library

My high school language teacher. He taught me French, Spanish and Russian.

He was a B-17 crew member who was shot down over Germany in World War

II and placed in a POW camp. He is now 95 years old and a blogger of the

“Grumpy Grammarian.”

Don Atkinson-AdamsSan Leandro

My mom because she does a lot of things for me, like when I’m going through troubles, she is always on my side. She’s my defender.

Asta LiSan Leandro

My maternal grandmother inspired me to become the teacher that I have been the

past 20 years with her zest for life, courage and playing a part in her community. She volunteered for many groups and organi-

zations. She taught us by subtly leading by example. I can hardly imagine growing up

without my grandparents around.

Donna CollinsSan Leandro

I have many, but overall, my dad. He fled Vietnam as a refugee, didn’t know a lick of English and went on to create several successful businesses. I saw little of him

growing up. He seemed tired. Now I know why. His work ethic and commit-

ment are traits I learned – to give 110 percent to things you do.

Adele Black Jack

The Pets of the Week at the Hayward Animal Shelter, 16 Barnes Court in Hayward, are Adele the cat and Black Jack the senior cat.

Adele is a 6-year-old beauty who loves lounging and having her head rubbed. But she can get a bit overstimulated so is OK with adults and cat savvy older kids who will give her space, TLC and time to adjust.

Black Jack is a handsome, 10 year old who still has a lot of pep in his step.

He would love to find a fam-ily to love, and to be loved in return. While a bit shy, a little patience, TLC and some soft treats will do the trick.

For more information on Adele or Black Jack, call the Hayward Animal Shelter at 510-293-7200.

The man then stood up and pulled out what looked like a gun, according to police.

“The individual who was on the porch shirtless stood up in a threatening manner and produced something from his side and

quickly pointed it at officers,” said Lt. Isaac Benabou of the San Leandro police. “One officer at the scene, a 9-and-a-half year veteran at the police department, fired one shot at the individual striking him in the upper body which caused the subject to fall.”

Benabou said the object was similar in size, shape and color to a handgun. He said that police im-mediately began giving first aid to the man but he had succumbed to his injuries.

A neighbor said the man who was shot was a good guy.

“He wasn’t dangerous,” said the neighbor who didn’t want to give his name. “He just had a knife. I don’t think they had to shoot him.”

The shooting is under investi-gation by the San Leandro police and the District Attorney’s office.
