● California state transportation funds could help complete construction of planned Irvington BART station
By Roelle Balan
California State Senator Aisha Wahab is taking BART to task, arguing the agency failed to pursue available state transportation funding for the Irvington BART station through the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP).
The funds come in grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction fund with an ultimate goal to reduce greenhouse gases, miles traveled and congestion.
Wahab said during a phone interview that an Irvington station would benefit the community. “I think that there’s a lot of people that will say that they care about public transit, that they care about the environment, that they want a more

● Tamper Room Cafe & Gallery provides third space in Fremont’s Pacific Commons
By Monika Lee
Part cafe, part art gallery, part event center, the Tamper Room Cafe & Gallery is a community gathering place in the Pacific Commons area in Fremont. It’s known for creative drinks, croffles, a friendly atmosphere, events and rotating displays of work by Bay Area artists.
The name “Tamper Room” echoes coffee culture terminology (a tamper is the tool used to compress espresso
grounds), but the founders describe the place as more of a community art space and cafe than just a typical coffee shop. They focused on creating a space for creativity and social connection as much as coffee.
Fremont native and owner Samantha Huang grew up helping out in her family’s cafe. She is a graduate of California College of Arts in San Francisco and organized art shows as a student. After college, Huang moved back to Fremont.
“One of the reasons I was reluctant to move back to Fremont was because I felt there was no art scene,” said Huang. “At some point, I realized we could create our own.”
During her travels she was inspired by cafe culture in Japan and Taiwan which combined art, music and cafes. She partnered with a group of creative colleagues to open the cafe.
Since its opening in February of 2023, the Tamper Room has hosted more than 200 events including gallery exhibits, craft workshops, live music, raves, open mics and nonprofit events.

News from Washington Health
Colon Cancer: Preventable, Detectable, Treatable
Local Expert to Present Free Online Seminar
Last month the American Cancer Society announced that colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women under age 50, and it is the only one where deaths continue to increase. The good news is, this type of cancer is highly treatable when detected early. Next month is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, so mark your calendar now for an important online event to learn everything you need to know about protecting yourself from colon cancer.
Washington Health Medical oncologist Jasmine Huynh, MD, will present an online seminar called, “Colon Cancer Awareness” on Saturday, March 7, at 10 a.m. Viewers can watch live at YouTube.com/@Washington_Health. For those who miss the live presentation, the video will also be added to the Washington Health library of videos featuring health care experts.
“Colon cancer is actually quite common, but with good screening and early diagnosis, it is very curable,” said Dr. Huynh. “By following certain lifestyle habits, you can greatly reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.”
A specialist in treating gastrointestinal cancers, Dr. Huynh joined the UCSF – Washington Cancer Center in June 2025. In addition to treating patients, she is a researcher, always seeking new therapies. Dr. Huynh is a proponent of clinical
trials that give patients access to alternative treatments. She is a proud Fremont native whose parents still live here, so she was happy to relocate back from Washington, D.C., with her husband and baby to serve her hometown community.
“Colorectal cancer is an umbrella term that entails both colon and rectal cancers, but in this seminar I will focus on colon cancer awareness,” explained Dr. Huynh. “I will present statistics on the incidence of colon cancer, risk factors, how we can screen to hopefully catch it early in the case of a colon cancer diagnosis. I will also talk about ways we treat colon cancer and lifestyle choices people can make to help prevent it.”
Colon Cancer Screening Saves Lives
There are several screening methods for colon cancer including at-home collection kits like the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and Cologuard. These are noninvasive tests, where a small stool sample is placed in a tube and returned to a lab for testing. These tests check for blood in the stool, which can be an early sign of cancer or precancerous polyps.
“At-home stool collection tests can be effective for average-risk people, but colonoscopy remains the gold standard for colon cancer screening,” emphasized Dr. Huynh. “FIT and Cologuard are like taking a snapshot, while with a colonoscopy we get the full picture, examining the colon for polyps, lesions or masses.”
Colorectal cancer awareness is especially critical today due to an alarming 2% to 3% annual increase in younger people being diagnosed with colon cancer. Researchers are still finding out why young adults are the only population group experiencing an increase in colorectal cancer. Dr. Huynh will discuss her thoughts on the subject, focusing on the Western diet, and higher rates of inactivity and obesity.
“The main message is: It is important to get colonoscopy screening when you are due for it, starting at age 45,” said Dr. Huynh. To learn more about risk factors and things you can do to help prevent colon cancer, be sure to watch her upcoming presentation.

Retired Nurse Airlifted to LifeSaving Surgery
Washington Health Stood at the Ready
At 10 p.m. New Year’s Day 2025, Petaluma-resident Judy Hillery suddenly felt her jaw clench shut and knew something was very wrong. She alerted her husband to call 911 and their daughter who lives nearby. Within minutes, EMT arrived and transported Judy to her local hospital where a CT scan confirmed her aorta had ballooned, and rupture was imminent.
Judy doesn’t remember much from that night, but her husband Richard and their daughter Kristy – who is an RN with cardiac training – spoke to the ER doctor. They were informed the hospital did not have a cardiothoracic surgeon available or a large team operating room. The doctor began making phone calls to locate a Bay Area hospital that could assemble a surgical team and attempt a New Year’s miracle to save Judy.
After checking with several academic and major medical centers to see which could receive an aortic dissection patient for emergency surgery, one stood at the ready: Washington Health. “A weight came off our shoulders when we found out a hospital could accommodate Judy, though we knew she wasn’t out of the woods yet,” said Richard. Judy recalls seeing Richard and Kristy on the tarmac below as her medevac helicopter took off for the early morning life flight from Petaluma to Fremont.
On Jan. 2, renowned UCSF cardiothoracic surgeon and Washington Health Medical Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Ramin Beygui, MD, and his team successfully performed emergency open-heart surgery to repair Judy’s aorta. Richard and Kristy arrived by car in time for the surgery. “We bonded with the team immediately, as they were so caring and communicated everything we needed to know about what was happening with Judy,” said Richard. “Afterward, Dr. Beygui looked me in the eyes and said, ‘Mrs. Hillery is a fighter. Most people in her condition don’t survive the surgery.’”
Judy certainly is a fighter, and she knows about good nursing care. Now 84, she is a retired nurse who was recruited by the Army from her Philadelphia hospital in 1966 to serve in Japan, treating injured soldiers transferred during the Vietnam War. Most recently, she was director of a nursing home near her Petaluma home.
Richard and their two daughters, Kristy and Kimberly, were by Judy’s bedside every day during her 15-day stay at Washington Hospital and were impressed with the “super caring teams of top-notch nurses.”
Now a year later, Judy gets winded more easily, but she’s back to enjoying time with her girls and three grandsons.
The Hillerys look back on that difficult time with a positive, appreciative perspective. “We are so grateful to Dr. Beygui for giving us more time with Judy,” said Richard. “At Judy’s followup visit, I gave him a big hug and told him he is our hero. In addition to being an outstanding surgeon, he has a warm

Be Mine, Cutie Pie, Sweet Talk
By Samantha Campos
It’s not that I’m anti-love.
But for many decades now, I’ve been opposed to Valentine’s Day. To me, it’s a Hallmark holiday with a dark and murky past—one largely propped up by American corporations to encourage spending and quietly shame the uncoupled.
Yes, I’m a lot of fun at parties.
That said, I haven’t always felt this way. I remember passing out Valentine’s cards and heart-shaped candies in grade school, stamped with messages like “CUTIE PIE,” “LOVE BUG” and the wildly premature “MARRY ME.” Aw, so sweet!
EDITOR Samantha Campos
And because nostalgia is my favorite flavor these days, I was delighted to learn that Sweethearts still makes those iconic candies—now updated to reflect the realities of modern dating and economic survival.
According to a recent press release, three-quarters of Americans are seeking more affordable dating options this year, with 80% saying the economy is shaping their Valentine’s Day plans. Enter Sweethearts’
new “Love in This Economy” sayings: “SPLIT RENT,” “SHARE LOGN,” “CAR POOL” and “BUY N BULK.” Romance, but make it fiscal responsibility.
“Being practical is having a moment,” said Evan Brock, vice president of marketing for Spangler Candy Company, the maker of Sweethearts. Nothing sets the mood quite like budgeting.
Candy still tops the Valentine’s wish list—especially for singles—and Sweethearts has leaned hard into the zeitgeist. Last year, evidently to woo Gen Z and millennials, the company released Situationship Boxes filled with misprinted hearts symbolizing
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Our Governor Gavin
Newsom is Mr. Right
Regardless of my political party affiliations, I support Governor Newsom for his loud/clear message urging world leaders to stand up against the U.S. president. He was upfront about why powerful nations and their leaders have shielded themselves from confronting our sitting president, even when he comes up with outlandish ideas like seizing Greenland.
Needless to say, our president is “a unique threat” to
world peace and security— who demands a U.S. takeover of Greenland, the vast Arctic island that is a semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. And, aggressively, he wants to slap new tariffs on European nations, which I consider an act of expansionism.
Bravo, Governor Newsom! For a very bold message we Californians were waiting for.

blurry, unreadable relationships. They’ve also experimented with scannable AI tech offering access to moving trucks, marriage licenses and even “matching heart-shaped headstones for lovers who wanted something more concrete.” For Halloween, there were Ghosted Sweethearts: all-white hearts, no messages, no closure.
No word yet on whether Sweethearts plans to cater to Gen X and older adults. Though I’d absolutely buy a box of hearts labeled “WHATEVER,” “NAP TIME” and “MY KNEE HURTS.”
Maybe that’s where Valentine’s Day has landed—not as a celebration of love, but as a mirror of the times. Less “BE MINE,” more “WE’RE DOING OUR BEST.”
Importance of the Point-In-Time Count
As a long-term resident of Fremont, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Roelle Balan’s article on Alameda County’s Point-In-Time (PIT) Count and the voice it gave in addressing homelessness. The PIT Count is such a critical public health tool that helps not only identify needs but also guide funding decisions and resource allocation in communities.
For example, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development relies on PIT data to distribute homelessness assistance funds and evaluate the effectiveness of local responses.
Homelessness and housing are public health crises. Rising homelessness is directly associated with worsening physical and mental health outcomes. With federal housing funds facing significant potential cuts, the county’s decision to allocate 80% of Measure W’s annual revenue towards the Home Together Plan was an important step in protecting community health.
However, looking at the priorities of federal funding raises hard questions about imbalance. The U.S. military in 2023 alone exceeded $820 billion. Even a small portion of that funding could dramatically strengthen housing and public health infrastructure on a nationwide scale. Budgets are structural determinants of health that shape health equity.
To address homelessness at its roots, the county should support community-based participatory budgeting. This approach allows community members, especially those with lived experiences of homelessness, to have a real voice in shaping funding priorities.
Thank you for shedding light on this important public health issue in our community.

Hayward receives update from the state and U.S. Capitol
● Matters discussed include sanctuary city funding
By Roelle Balan
The city of Hayward received updates from the state and U.S. Capitol during the Feb. 3 city council meeting.
Capitol Advocacy Partners (CAP) has helped the city secure federal grant funding since 2014. Last year the city received over $20 million in funding for water pollution control, firefighter training, homelessness services, youth violence prevention, automatic license plate readers, cameras and wildfire resilience.
The federal update included President Donald Trump’s anti-sanctuary city agenda. CAP said the administration is threatening to cut funding from a list of sanctuary cities, but that Hayward is not on the list. When asked why that was the case, CAP said they were not as vocal about being a sanctuary city, which then saved the city from federal funding cuts.
Council members said their federal priorities include green energy affordability, the impact of data centers on the environment, and cyber fraud.
Townsend Public Affairs gave a California legislation update, which included focusing on E-bike reform, DUI funding and affordable housing. Townsend deputy director Carlin Shelby said illegal dumping has been a hot topic statewide because of prevention and difficulties in prosecuting violators.
Various statewide issues were discussed, including food vendors without business licenses, state reparations for slavery, human trafficking, rent control, resources for emergency calls involving mental health professionals, and the billionaire’s tax.
Shelby said the food vendor issue has been prominent the last couple of years. When it came to state reparations for slavery she said there are bills that are processing, and talks about issuing a state apology and eligibility requirements including lineage and descent. When it comes to human trafficking, Shelby said there is Assembly Bill 379, which was passed last year and will provide a survivor support fund.
City adds special elections to vote on by-district system
● Residents would vote for the mayor and for one city councilmember from their own district
By Roelle Balan
The city of San Leandro will hold a special election on June 2 asking voters to approve or not approve a by-district elections system. The mayor will still be picked by all voters in the city.
According to the resolution passed on Feb. 2, the ballot question would read, “In conformance with the California Voting Rights Act, one council member shall be nominated and elected from each council member district only by the registered voters of that district.”
This means voters would vote for one councilmember and one mayoral candidate. City clerk Sarah Bunting said during the meeting the special election would cost around $500,000. The by-district elections system will take effect starting this November.
The city’s ordinance to establish by-district elections said the city council received a letter from law firm Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian, & Ho in November 2024. It said that their client believes the city’s at-large system violates the California Voting Rights Act by diluting votes from Asian voters who don’t have the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. The letter threatened a lawsuit if the city doesn’t change their elections system to a by-district one.
The city council voted on a district map in June of last year after four public hearings and feedback from residents.

The iconic flower is as beautiful to the nose as to the eyes
By Daniel O'Donnell
People buy roses for many reasons. A rose can be alluring simply for its color. A rose can also be purchased for its historical value, its disease resistance or for having a particular shade. Some rose choices offer petals that never fade, multiple flowering cycles per year or abundant flowering. Rose varieties are often purchased for their strong or pastel colors, their unique petal shapes or the visual texture of the petals. Some are also purchased for their exceptional scents.
Rose flowers convert alcohols and sugars into fragrant scents to attract pollinators. These volatile organic compounds create sweet, spicy and fruity scents. About 55% of roses release these fragrant molecules, while 25% discharge none and therefore have no scent. The remaining 20% release many times more molecules, making them intensely fragrant. These are the roses that people seek if they want to immerse themselves in that sweet scent that only roses can deliver.
There are three types of rose groupings according to the American Rose Society. Wild Roses, Old Garden Roses in existence before 1867 and Modern Roses that did not exist before 1867. There are different types of roses within these groupings based on some of their predominant characteristics. It is easy to identify the defining traits of climbing roses, miniature roses, shrub roses, hedge roses and ground cover roses. Some modern roses have classification names that highlight their predominant characteristics. Floribunda roses are compact, bushy and continuously flowering. Hybrid Tees are tall and have upright stems and single blooms. Gran-
diflora roses are tall and bushy and have clusters of large blooms.
All of the different categories, groupings and classifications of the roses have intensely fragrant species or cultivar options. Once a type of rose is chosen for the characteristics and growing conditions, an extremely fragrant variety can most likely be found.
Below are eight examples of intensely fragrant roses that can be grown in many different conditions:
Rosa “Gertrude Jekyll” is often considered one of the most fragrant of all the climbing roses. It is a short climber with canes reaching from five to eight feet tall. A single pink bloom produces a strong classic sweet Old Rose fragrance that can perfume a small garden or room.
Flower Carpet® Amber is an intensely sweet aromatic groundcover rose. It produces a blanket of semi-double peach-colored blossoms which scent walkways and open areas of the garden from early spring into the fall.
“Sweet Chariot” is a Miniature/Patio rose known for its highly fragrant scent which is often referred to as Damask-like, a group of Old-World roses renowned for having some of the world’s most intense sweet and spicy aromas. Its cascading one-to-two-foot stems support multiple magenta flowers, making it the perfect scented rose to grow in a container or hanging basket.
“Chrysler Imperial” rose produces an exceptionally fragrant dark red flower with 45 to 50 petals, which is an unusually high number for a hybrid tea rose. The long-stemmed blooms make excellent long-lasting cut flowers which will fill a room with citrus undertones and clove.
“Honey Perfume” is a well-branched upright shrub with dark green glossy
COLOR WHEEL The kooky Koko Loko rose starts off with mocha-colored buds, opens into lavender/brown petals and fades to an orange/chocolate color.
foliage. It produces ruffled double-bloom of four-to-five-inch flowers in at least two blooming cycles per year.
The yellow-apricot-colored flowers have a strong spicy fragrance with hints of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and allspice.
“Koco Loko” is a floribunda rose with a moderate scent. It is included here because of its pleasant fragrance, which is described as crisp, clean and slightly clove-like. It also produces dramatic flowers that start with mocha-colored buds, open lavender/brown and fade to a soft creamy orange/chocolate color.
“Pure Perfume” is a shrub rose that has dense dark green foliage that makes it suitable for use as a hedge or tall border plant. It produces highly fragrant classic white flowers which have over 100 petals as an added benefit. They create blooms that give a strong scent of grapefruit, citrus and other sweet smells.
“Perfume Factory” is a Hybrid Tea rose that was introduced in 2020. It features four-inch white blooms that smell like grapefruit. There is no complex fusion of fragrances. This rose is an example of how modern technology can even shape the natural world, especially if you like grapefruit.
Although only 20% of roses are super fragrant, there are still a lot of varieties to choose from. A great way to prune back the choices is to visit a local rose garden or nursery when in full bloom. There you will be hot on the scent of finding a fragrant rose that is right for you.

Officials push for completed Irvington BART Station

robust system. And they will utilize it if it’s there. Right now we are trying to create that system for Irvington.”
Wahab said BART should apply for the TIRCP funds now. “It is just poor management when you are talking about money on the table, facing a fiscal crisis and not applying,” she said. “That is the basic function of what they should be doing if they want more money for the projects, rather than cutting operations and services to regular people.”
BART is currently facing a fiscal crisis, and has put a revenue measure on the ballot this November. A Feb. 12 BART board meeting staff report says they have prepared a plan to cut services to 10 stations if the measure doesn’t pass. Those stations include South Hayward, Warm Springs, West Dublin/Pleasanton and Oakland International Airport, which are considered to have low ridership numbers.
Plans for the Irvington station were approved in 1992. Partial funds for the station come from Alameda County’s Measure BB, approved by voters in 2014. The money was used for county-wide transportation improvements including the expansion of BART. Alameda County Transportation Commission named Irvington BART station as one of Measure BB’s investments.
Fremont Mayor Raj Salwan said via phone interview the Irvington station is part of a Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD), which is meant to connect housing to public transportation.
“We have the development, but we don't have the transit. It kind of defeats the purpose,” said Salwan. “The whole purpose is to link housing and transit so that people can live near the transit. Then they can go from their apartment or home, get on BART, go to work with-
out having to drive on the streets and create greenhouse gasses, so it’s much more efficient, and that's where all the future growth is going to be. This BART project is crucial.”
BART director Liz Ames said on Feb. 5 BART would need the operational costs to run the station. “There’s a lot of uncertainty about BART’s operational needs and how we’re going to pay for them. How are we going to pay for operating costs? We're on the edge of deciding, ‘okay, are we going to be cutting stations?’ Potentially, we're going to hear about this next week,” Ames said, referring to their board meeting on Feb.12.
Salwan said the Irvington station design is nearly complete and is urging BART to apply for TIRCP funding. “We feel very comfortable that if they move this forward, that this will compete very well, because this is a very good project,” he said. “We already have the tracks in place. When we took BART to Warm Springs, we already had the tracks laid. All we need to do is drop the station.”
Ames said Fremont has to complete the land acquisition process before BART applies for TIRCP funding for the Irvington station. “You can’t complete the design unless you have the right of way sorted out,” she said. “So the properties that are involved to build the station really need to be in place.”
She continued, “The right of way piece really needs to be put in place, and all of the land acquisitions need to happen before you go into construction documents. It’s premature to say, ‘Okay, we’re going to do all this design and even the construction documents,’ if you don't have the real estate, the property ownership.”
San Leandro and Hayward rent stabilization updates
● Community members speak for and against changes
By Roelle Balan
San Leandro adopted a rent stabilization ordinance during the Feb. 2 city council meeting.
Twenty-six people spoke for and against the ordinance.
One property manager owns a small trailer park in the city. She said out of the 18 available spaces, only six spaces are rented out.
“We desperately need to upgrade the park,” she said during the council meeting. “We’re not able to rent the spaces. So currently, our community is suffering by not having this affordable housing. We cannot rent these spaces until we upgrade our electrical, our plumbing, our sewer, new fencing and paving,”
Another property owner said the rent cap is too restrictive. “For over 20 years, I’ve managed properties for small landlords who typically own just one home or a small, multi-unit property. These are not large corporations. They keep rents modest and address issues responsibly as they arise. I’ve seen firsthand how extreme rent control pushes owners to sell, often removing those homes from the rental market and making the housing shortage worse.”
One renter is a government employee and a Bay Area union leader who lived in
San Leandro for almost 30 years. “I have followed this process from the beginning, and I’m here to say something simple and important. I believe in you,” she said. “You did not come into public service for comfort or applause. You came because you understand that leadership means standing for people, even when the stance is tested by pressure, money and threats.”
The city of Hayward passed amendments to their Rent Stabilization ordinance, called the Residential Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protection Ordinance (RRSO). The administrative related changes include extending the arbitration process for rent disputes from 20 days to 30 days.
The other change involves creating a penalty for property owners who don’t pay their annual RRSO fee. Property owners are charged fees per rental unit every year. The amendment will include placing assessments on rental properties when the annual RRSO fees are not paid. The assessment process involves the city possibly increasing a landlord’s property taxes.
The RRSO was passed in 2019 to prevent discrimination against Section 8 voucher holders, requiring landlords to notify the city of rent increases and eviction notices, tenant retaliation protection and just cause evictions.
ROOM FOR GROWTH Tracks are laid, and the BART train already crosses the site on its way to the Warm Springs station.

LOCAL TEEN GRADUATES FROM STEM STUDENT TO INVENTOR
Anika Bhat of Moreau Catholic High School patents asthma monitor
By Marc Vicente
‘If you put your mind to it, you can create work that matters,” said Anika Bhat. “And you can become the kind of person who inspires others to do the same.” It’s this mindset that motivated the 17-year-old Moreau Catholic High School senior through the rigorous process of inventing a portable electronic asthma monitoring device. She recently received a U.S. utility patent for it.
Being passionate about finding solutions to real-world problems at a young age, Bhat has taken part in research projects as early as fourth grade at Stratford School. There, she built a homemade kit to determine the electrolyte components of various sports beverages for her school’s science fair.
Ever since then, she’s been conducting both independent and collaborative STEM research and sharing her work through science fairs and publications. Projects included developing a mobile app that scans and flags products for direct and cross-reactive allergen triggers and a prototype to produce renewable electricity from household waste using a microbial fuel cell.
Thanks to projects such as these, Bhat obtained work as a paid intern at the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland. She also completed two competitive summer internships at the NASA Ames Research Center, where she worked as the only high school intern alongside skilled scientists and college students.
Throughout her school life, Bhat gained multiple experiences that allowed her to conduct valuable research within healthcare, food security and sustainability by integrating computer and aerospace engineering, robotics and AI.
“Being quarantined alone in my room for two weeks at age 11 during the Covid lockdown, and having to manage multiple medications on my own, made me realize how difficult it must be for people who don’t have support taking care of their health,” Bhat said. “As someone with asthma, that experience pushed me to turn a personal challenge into a solution, which is what inspired me to build a medical device, MEDeBuddy, designed to help chronic asthma patients to self-manage their health.”
Starting in 2021, Bhat worked on MEDeBuddy, a comprehensive real-time health and environmental monitoring system specifically engineered to help asthma patients prevent further attacks and manage their condition more effectively. Alongside a smartphone app, the device uses sensors to track multiple parameters, from internal vital signs like blood oxygen levels and heart rate, to external environmental triggers such as carbon dioxide and humidity levels.
Bhat has also proved her device’s capabilities work with real patients, including her grandparents, by attaining accurate and consistent results when she took it with her to India. Within its first year, MEDeBuddy won the first place Grand Award and became a Broadcom MASTERS 2021 nominee at the Synopsys Alameda County Science & Engineering Fair (ACSEF), and earned first place at the California Science & Engineering Fair (CSEF), along with additional awards.
According to Bhat, multiple rounds involved the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) examiner sending questions and “prior art” about existing patents or publications. Bhat had to study them carefully to explain how her device was different. On top of that, the process took years to reach a
definite conclusion, and whatever money she received from awards through science fairs were used to fund the patent process. The patent for Bhat’s device was officially granted on Dec. 23, 2025.
“The recent official grant of the patent felt like the best confirmation that persistence matters,” said Bhat. “There are so many paths into STEM—what matters most is taking the first step, staying consistent and finding people who will encourage you along the way.”
Using her experiences with MEDeBuddy as a starting point, Bhat
aims to continue refining the device’s design, making it more reliable and accessible for others to use. Through research, partnerships, testing and community trust, she hopes to become both an engineer and an entrepreneur who invents new technology that helps shape responsible integration into everyday life.
More information about Anika Bhat’s patent can be viewed at patents.google.com with further research at thinkmind.org.

Swing dance on a ’40s ship for a timeless date night
● Last year’s sold-out Valentine’s Day event returns to USS Hornet with tickets under $35
By Connie Cheung
Decades ago, Rebecca Roudman and Jason Eckl were music students who fell in love with swing dancing—including a dance on the decks of the USS Hornet in Alameda. This weekend, they return to perform at the very same aircraft carrier with the band they co-founded, Death and Taxes swing band, keeping the rhythm of the ’40s alive.
The Valentine’s Day swing dance on Saturday, Feb. 14, will feature drinks, appetizers, live music and plenty of dancing. Novices are offered a free lesson at the start by professional dancers, who also help partner up any singles without a date.
“Being on the ship is like walking back in time, experiencing history while dancing and listening to the music of that time,” said Roudman, lead vocalist, explaining that the museum serves as the perfect backdrop to jive to mid-century classics.
Now married and instructors at California State University East Bay, Roudman and Eckl formed the group several years ago to give students a chance to perform jazz. Although classically trained, the pair performs a wide range of music and have spent years touring with their blues and rock group, Dirty Cello.
“In college, we realized there’s not enough opportunities if you pigeonhole yourself,” Eckl recalled. He encourages all music students to branch out and be versatile. “It’s a lifelong calling to learn as much as possible so you can keep performing.”
Today, the Death and Taxes swing band is a mix of seasoned professionals and a rotating cast of students. “Each time you encounter us is a little different,” Eckl said. “The group has a big age gap. It’s a unique sound, and also full of energy.”
Mentorship is an important part of the band’s mission. As graduates today face a tougher job market and economy, many are discouraged from pursuing their artistic passions. Those who pursue their dreams often face an uphill battle, with unpaid internships in creative and nonprofit sectors presented as a rite of passage.
“One of the scariest things is graduating college and saying, ‘Oh my gosh,
I’m in the real world, what do I do now?’” said Roudman.
At this Saturday’s performance, all the students will be paid—including the ones onstage and those managing ticketing and sound behind the scenes. “They’re doing just what everybody else is doing, and they’re learning on the job,” said Roudman. “It’s a chance to take them under our wing and show them what the music business is like.”
The Valentine’s Day
swing dance on Saturday, Feb. 14, will feature drinks, appetizers, live music and plenty of dancing
For attendees as well, the event is designed to be inclusive. As tickets for music concerts and sporting events soar to eye-watering levels, advance tickets are priced reasonably at just over $30 after fees, and will be $35 at the door.
“We wanted to make this different from other Valentine’s Day events,” Roudman said. “You go to a Valentine’s Day event and it’s so expensive, there’s never parking and it’s sort of stressful because you have high hopes.”
The band deliberately keeps things “loose and relaxed.” They play at a slower tempo, making the music friendly for both beginners and advanced dancers who want to show off fancy footwork.
“Some swing events are not welcoming to people that don’t know how to dance,” Eckl said. “Our event is welcoming to everyone, whether they want to dance or sit and watch.”

Locally owned cafe grows as
a space for community
— Continued from page 1
Imran Najam-Noveno, the talent liaison, said, “We wanted to make a space that was welcoming to everyone. It definitely caters towards the arts, but really all kinds of creatives. It’s a very DIY, do-it-yourself, creative space where you can enjoy coffee and croffles.”
DIY in this context means the artists are typically local and use unconventional spaces to display or perform their work. They participate in shaping the programming in a more informal, community-based setting.
Creo Noveno-Najam serves as the artist liaison and gallery director. “We’ve become a third space,” they said. “We’ve basically evolved beyond being just a coffee shop. It’s been really fun seeing people come here and make friends, make connections, I think that’s been the most fulfilling part for me.”
A third place is a social environment, separate from home (“first place”) and work (“second place”), where people regularly gather for conversation, relaxation and community. The cafe offers a relaxed and inviting setting. The walls are brimming with local artwork and hand-made items for sale or display. Gallery exhibits can also reflect community celebrations like the Filipino American History Month showcase.
The menu reflects the cafe’s focus on creativity. The most popular menu item is the croffle, a hybrid pastry created by pressing croissant dough in a waffle iron to create a caramelized, crispy exterior. There is an imaginative variety
Customers not in the mood for coffee can try a kumquat matcha tonic or one of the many other flavors of matcha on the menu. The menu also features hojicha tea, roasted green tea with toasty, nutty notes, less commonly offered in local cafes.
Looking to the future, Huang said, “Ideally, I would love to expand our hours and stay open later. That is the priority right now. We are looking into being able to have regular craft nights maybe twice a week. A year ago people hadn’t really heard about us yet. Things may have changed now. The more people hear about us we can ride that momentum and just make more events happen.”
The event calendar can be found on Instagram: @tamperroom

Young golfer claims first at national championship
● Aston Lim secures spot in Swiss PGA Tour after championship win
By Ava Acharya
Aston Lim, 16, of Union City, reached new heights this past December when he won the FCG National Championship, finishing 7-under-par in the boys aged 15 to 18 division.
Lim’s victory has earned him the opportunity to compete on a professional level at the Swiss PGA Tour this summer.
“It feels great,” Lim said. “There were 160 other players and I was able to come out on top. It shows that all the hard work and practice that I’ve been doing is paying off.”
The FCG National Championship is one of the most competitive junior golf events in the world, designed to prepare young competitors for professional tournaments, according to their website.
Lim said that going into the tournament was intimidating due to its
scale. But, at the end of the day, he maintained his mental composure and trusted the training and technique he spent so long developing.
“A shot is a shot,” said Lim. “Whether you’re practicing or on the first tee of this big event, it’s still going to be the same swing. The ball only understands being hit.”
This composure was clear throughout the event, as FCG’s tournament recap noted: “Lim’s steady play throughout the week and ability to perform under pressure earned him the top spot in one of the deepest fields in junior golf.”
Lim’s practice, especially ahead of tournaments, mainly focuses on analyzing where he went wrong in previous competitions so that he can work towards perfecting the skills he needs in order to succeed—which he now has more time for, after switching to online education this past semester.
Lim said that this change has given him greater flexibility in his schedule, so that he has the time to practice playing, travel for competitions, and forge his career in the world of professional golf.

FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 10, 2026
BY GEORGIA NICOLS georgianicols.com
All Signs: If you want to buy expensive “Mercury-relate items” like cell phones, computers or vehicles—do so before Feb. 21, when Mercury starts to slow down before going retrograde on Feb. 26. Although retrograde will technically be over on March 21, you’re not in the clear until April 9. Meanwhile, until March 6, Venus will move into its favorite sign, Pisces, triggering opportunities for romance and the arts. But the big news is this week Saturn will enter Aries for the first time in 30 years. This will bring a three-year window of discipline combined with independence.
Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):
Saturn’s move into your sign this week will send you off on a new path. Responsibilities might feel heavier; however, your newfound authority will attract respect from others because you’re willing to do whatever is necessary. Note: In the next two years, take care of your teeth and avoid accidents that could trigger broken bones. Don’t be surprised if you feel a bit more introverted this year. It’s time to focus on your new path and figure out who you really are.
Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):
Expect to start going through closets, garages and storage areas to get rid of what you no longer need. You will also let go of people and places because the next few years will be a time of streamlining and downsizing. This is not loss. You will feel a sense of closure as you let go of attitudes and habits that no longer serve your purpose. This is an opportunity to create selfdiscipline, which you will use to improve home and family, as well as explore creative opportunities.
Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):
In the next two years, you’ll be more serious about your friendships and your alliances with groups. Going forward, you might find some friendships no
longer give you the same results. You will also be more interested in establishing serious goals for the future. Many will receive greater fulfillment by integrating their energy with group expression. Meanwhile, this continues to be a time when you are proud of your achievements and the respect you get from others.
Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):
Saturn moves to the top of your chart this week, which means you will feel proud of your achievements in the next few years. You might be proud to graduate. You might be proud to get married or have a baby. You might feel proud about a promotion, starting your own business or receiving an award. Others will respect you. Note: This can also be a time of failure because now you see clearly what is working and what is not.
Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):
In the next few years, you might redefine your belief system. You might be inspired by new philosophies or choose to educate yourself further. Legal matters, publishing and long-range plans in medicine will appeal. Travel will be for a serious purpose. This is your window to prepare for a success that will culminate around 2028 to 2031. If you’re aware of what you’re trying to achieve, and where you’re headed, you will realize that the next two years are your time to get performance ready to achieve your dreams.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):
In the next two to three years, you will work to pull your act together in terms of debt, finances, shared property, taxes and inheritances. Fear not. You will approach these areas with more realism and discipline. You will even feel a sense of accomplishment by getting on top of things. Other people’s resources might be cut off, which will force you to stand on your own two feet. It’s a time of maturation in terms of being responsible for yourself.
Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22): Saturn will be opposite your sign for the next two years testing partnerships and relationships. Relationships that are shaky might end. These tests may make you become stronger by taking responsibility for your actions. You’ll discover how important it is to live up to agreements. Your challenge will be to live up to these expectations. You might receive recognition for your work because you’re striking out with new ambitions for yourself.
Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):
This week, Saturn returns to Aries for the first time since the mid-90s to stay
for the next several years. It’s interesting to note that Aries is similar to Scorpio. You will find that you’re developing more personal discipline to work hard and achieve more. You sense that your effectiveness as a human is being tested. However, do not overwork yourself. Treat your body as a tool that needs to be well cared for. Your determination to achieve as much as possible could lead to burnout. Be careful.
Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):
Some of you will have increased responsibilities with children in the next several years because you will take your parenting skills more seriously. Others will feel a stronger commitment to an artistic project. You will be more accepting of doing the routine, grunt work. Privately, some of you will be questioning your future. Ever since 2015, you have been developing a better sense of who you are, what you want and where you want to live. Now the question is, what do you really want to do?
Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):
You are a long-lived sign who wants a well-planned ending, in terms of making a will and creating a situation that is favorable for your family. In the next few years, you will feel a stronger desire to explore these values more than ever. You might tackle major home repairs. You might move again. Some of you might expand your family. This is also a time of new beginnings for you because you now have a sense of who you are.
Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18):
Saturn deals with form, structure and the real world. This week Saturn changes signs, which is an indication that in the next two to three years, you will have a job change or residential move. You’re putting the final stages on the new you (which began around 2020) and this “finishing” process wants you to experience a different daily milieu, to refine how you see your world and how you communicate on a day-to-day basis. You might also withdraw a bit.
Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20):
This week you’ll feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You’ll feel younger, more energetic, more enthusiastic and more hopeful about your future. You will be less afraid to make ambitious plans. You will feel that things are starting to fall into place, and they kind of look like a plan for your future? You have come through the dark night of the soul and have survived. It’s time now to learn what you truly value in life. Work to strengthen your financial scene as well as your sense of self-worth.
Love laughter and a little bit of chaos hit Fremont stage
● Made Up Theatre brings a playful Valentine’s weekend comedy to Fremont
Submitted by Made Up Theatre
Valentine’s Day doesn’t always go according to plan—and that’s exactly what makes Who Likes Love? so much fun.
Made Up Theatre invites Fremont audiences to celebrate the ups and downs of romance with this fast-moving comedy, playing Feb. 13 and 14. Who Likes Love? explores the highs, lows and hilariously awkward moments of dating and relationships. Directed by Iu-Hui Chua, the show blends physical storytelling with smart comedy. “Love is messy, vulnerable and sometimes ridiculous,” Chua says. “This show leans into that and finds the joy in it.”
The show stars Bobby August Jr. and Jessica Bettencourt. August, an actor and improviser, has appeared in television, film and stage productions.
“We wanted to give people a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day,” August says with a laugh. “Whether you’re single, in a relationship or just love to laugh at the craziness of romance, there’s something in this show for everyone.”
Bettencourt is a New York-trained actor and comedian. “I love how honest this piece is,” she says. “It doesn’t try to define love—it just shows how strange and funny it can be when people try to connect.”
Who Likes Love? promises an evening filled with big laughs and just enough heart to make Valentine’s weekend truly memorable.

● Multiple vehicle burglaries took place within days
By staff
Tuesday, Jan. 13
• Officers responded to a report of theft from a vehicle on Nicolet Avenue. The victim encountered three subjects going through the vehicle’s truck bed. Upon seeing the victim, the subjects fled in a vehicle. Loss was a jackhammer from a toolbox in the truck bed.
Friday, Jan. 16

A large group of vehicles occupied the parking lot and intersection at W Warren Avenue and Landing Parkway.

The officers successfully dispersed the group within approximately two hours, without incident.
Saturday, Jan. 17

Speed date your writing
● Hook up with local writers on Valentine’s Day at social write-in
Submitted by Tish Davidson
Do you want to write but can’t get started? Afraid your writing skills aren’t good enough? Fremont Area Writers encourages you to shed those worries and join the Zoom Social Write-In on Feb. 14.
This is an opportunity to respond to one of several writing prompts in a judgment-free environment and to meet a helpful community of local writers of all abilities. The Write-In is free and open to anyone who wants to write. This is not a critique session.
How the Write-In works: The computer will randomly assign four writers to each Zoom room. Writers are given several prompts, choose one and write whatever comes to mind for 10 minutes. At the end of the writing time, each person in the room reads their response. There is no expectation that the result will be polished or even complete.
Writers will then be reassigned to a different Zoom room with different people and a different writing challenge.
The Write-In is sponsored by Fremont Area Writers, a branch of the California Writers Club. FAW also meets on Zoom from 2 to 4pm the fourth Saturday of each month where speakers address some aspect of writing or publishing. The Feb. 28 speaker is romantic comedy author Rich Amooi. He will conduct a free interactive workshop on how to hook readers by starting their book with a bang.
You do not need to live in Fremont to attend any FAW Zoom event. More information is available at cwc-fremontareawriters.org
To participate in the Write-In or the general meeting, request the Zoom meeting link from Scott Davidson at scottfrombayside@yahoo.com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. 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 (949) 776-4697 or visit this Internet Website https:// prestigepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-16486. 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. 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.

Commonly known as: 36234 WORTHING DR, NEWARK, CA 94560 The sale will be held at: At the Fallon Street EmergencyExit of the Alameda County Courthouse located at 1225 Fallon Street, Oakland, CA 94612 Per the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the estimated opening bid will be $876,602.29. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, the winning bidders with the exception of the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made payable to the undersigned Foreclosure Commissioner. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $87,660.23. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $87,660.23 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15 day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure
sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE MOVE-OUT BY ALL MORTGAGORS FROM THE PROPERTY, CEASING TO USE THE PROPERTY AS THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
