By 1994 the collections of two historical societies, Mission Peak Heritage Foundation and Washington Township Historical
Society, had grown so large as to deserve a permanent place. This place would be used both for the display of historical artifacts and the preservation of their thousands of documents and photographs. Opened in 1996, the Washington Township Museum of Local History admirably fulfills that purpose as it tells the stories of the people and events shaping the Tri-City area of Fremont, Newark and Union City.
The museum occupies the former Fire Station #4 at the corner of Anza and Ellsworth Street, one block from Ohlone College. Opened in 1954, the building was first home to the Mission Peak Volunteer Fire Department, then, to the Fremont Fire Department after incorporation. After firefighters moved to the new station in 1990, the building sat empty until 1992 when Fremont

Where do you turn when aspects of your life are difficult and you feel like others can’t understand what you’re experiencing? Maybe you’re facing the challenges of living with a chronic disease like diabetes, lung disease or arthritis. Perhaps you or someone you know is struggling to care for a loved one with dementia. Washington Health offers a number of support groups to
help community members dealing with these and other issues.
“Sometimes just talking to others in the same situation can help,” said Kayla Gupta, Community Outreach manager. “Our support groups provide a caring place to turn for anyone who could use a little extra understanding.”
The support groups are open to all community members, regardless of
medical insurance provider. Some of the groups are in person and others are available through Zoom meetings.
Support groups may be needed for various reasons. “The stroke support group helps individuals who have had a stroke learn to understand what their new normal may be. Patients who have had strokes are not always comfortable around others, particularly if they are still in the process of recovering and haven’t gained full function. In the support group, they are with others facing some of the same changes to their lifestyle and can learn from those who are further along on their healing journey,” Gupta explained.
Living with a chronic condition can also be difficult. Lifestyle changes, medications, and the loss of health and mobility can be overwhelming. Support groups provide an outlet where people can share their experiences and learn from others who understand.
Looking after someone with a medical condition can take a heavy toll on caregivers and family members. That’s why caregivers and loved ones are welcomed at Washington Health support group meetings.
The support groups are designed to provide information and connect people who are experiencing similar challenges. Some groups feature formal presentations in addition to discussion group time, when members can talk about what is on their mind.
“One of the common aspects among all the support groups is that
members learn valuable information from others in the group,” Gupta noted. “Participants are eager to share useful information and resources that can help make the journey a little easier for other patients, families and loved ones.”
In addition to the Grief Support Group and the Stroke Support Group, there are support groups for people with breathing conditions, breast cancer, diabetes, and other types of cancer. The Mended Hearts Group provides support to those who have had heart surgery, a heart attack, angioplasty, or other heart conditions and procedures.
“Caregiving can be incredibly challenging, both emotionally and physically,” Gupta added. “You aren’t only caring for another person, you are also working through your own issues. Caregivers often put others’ needs in front of their own, but they should also look after themselves so they have the energy to care for others.”

When the residents of Fremont, Newark, Union City, south Hayward and unincorporated Sunol voted to create Washington Township Health Care District in 1948, they had a vision that excellent health care would be available locally, close to home. Ten years later, when Washington Hospital opened in 1958, that vision was fulfilled. In the nearly 70 years since, Community members have come to rely on Washington Health (WH) to provide leading-edge medical technology, treatment, and health care services. But these are not the only ways WH supports the health and well-being of our community residents.
Washington Health Chief of Community Support Services, Angus Cochran acknowledged that district residents are aware the health system offers educational seminars, free health screenings, and health fairs. They may not realize, however, the concerts they attended in Fremont or Newark or the assistance they may have received from the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation are also supported by the Fremont-based health care provider.
“Washington Health provides for the health of the whole community in a holistic manner,” Cochran said. “In addition to health care offerings, such as diabetes screenings or blood pressure checks, we support a wide variety of community organizations that impact the physical and mental health of the Tri-City Area and beyond. We do this by providing sponsorships, having our executives and other staff volunteer with community nonprofits, and offering in-kind contributions to other
organizations. It is both our responsibility and privilege to care for our community in ways that have the greatest potential to impact residents’ well-being.”
In California, nonprofit hospitals are required to provide community benefits such as free care for indigent and low-income patients, and investments in community health. To that end, Washington Health conducts a comprehensive community health needs assessment every three years.
“The purpose of the assessment is to identify crucial health issues affecting residents in our health care district,” Cochran explained. “These needs are identified through a combination of community input, statistical data, and expert analysis. We look at indicators about the physical health of the area’s residents, as well as broader social and environmental determinants of health.
This more inclusive definition reflects Washington Health’s view that many factors affect community health and it is essential to consider these factors to adequately understand and address community health needs.
“Guided by the data, Washington Health can target services and educational programs to improve the health and well-being of our community and provide focused community outreach programs that offer preventive care measures and health education,” Cochran continued. “The assessment findings are also used as a guideline for funding, policy and advocacy efforts.”
Noting WHHS supports some 45 nonprofit and advocacy groups in the Tri-City Area, Cochran shared several examples.
“Every year, WH Community Support Services works with a local nonprofit organization to help make the holidays brighter for at-risk families. This year, we donated grocery gift cards to Viola Blythe Center of Newark,” he shared. “We partner with the cities in the health care district through their Community Services Departments, the Fremont Community Advisory and Engagement Board, the Family Resource Center, and the Union City Family Center. We also provide office space on the Washington Hospital campus for other nonprofits that promote public health and safety, including HERS, OneChild and ReCARES.”
The Washington Health Employee Association regularly holds drives benefiting local nonprofit organizations. These drives collect school supplies; nonperishable food items; warm coats and blankets; and hygiene products.
The health system also champions community events, activities and organizations that contribute to mental health and well-being. In 2024, that included concerts, local celebrations and collaborations with service
organizations, school districts and local chambers of commerce.
“We have participated in the summer concert series in Fremont, mariachi festival in Newark, and the Newark Days parade and festival,” Cochran said. “Chief Compliance Officer Kristin Ferguson, MSN, MHA, RN, organizes and leads a BSA (formerly Boy Scouts of America) Medical Explorer Post on campus that meets once a month during the school year. We provide tours to school kids and host students from Mission Valley ROP to shadow staff in different areas, from nursing to biomedical engineering to pharmacy to sterile processing. We connect health care leaders — physicians and other clinicians — with civic organizations and service clubs to share current, innovative medical practices.
“The bottom line is, Washington Health truly cares about what’s going on in our community and the people who live here,” he continued. “We take care of our neighbors from every aspect of their health — physical, mental, environmental and societal. All of this is part of our mission to serve the district’s total health needs. When we say, ‘Our Reason is You,’ we mean it.”
“Washington Health truly cares about what’s going on in our community and the people who live here … . All of this is part of our mission to serve the district’s total health needs. When we say, ‘Our Reason is You,’ we mean it.”

As this paper’s sports reporter I cover sports news from all over the Tri-City area and beyond. On Jan. 17 I attended the Golden State Warriors’ Educator’s Night at the Chase Center in San Francisco. All night I listened to people praise educators, teachers, librarians, instructors and coaches. That same weekend I continued to work on the story of 45 coaches who were fired by the school district.
The juxtaposition of seeing an arena applaud educators to speaking with coaches who felt expendable and disrespected was jarring.
The decision made by the Newark Unified School District was not well received by the community, and many took to the article’s online comments
section to not only express their frustration, but to share the lifelong impact their high school coaches left on them.
I attended Newark Memorial and was a student-athlete all four years of high school. As a student-athlete I have experienced the relationship between an athlete and a coach. A high school coach is one of the only adults, other than a parent or guardian, who follows a student's high school journey, day in and day out, for four years straight.
My coach, who now coaches at a different institution, was the only person in all of my high school career who told me that I could make it into a four-year
college—something that was never on my radar as a first-generation American. That encouragement didn’t come from a teacher or a counselor, but a coach. I know my teachers and counselors cared, but my coach was the only adult in high school
who’d spent three years building a relationship of trust with me. So when he said I could do it, it carried a different weight.
For many, sports is one of the only pathways to higher education and a future beyond academics. To shake that foundation not only insults the work and time coaches put into their athletes, but rips a mentor and trusted adult from the lives of so many young adults.
● Drafted statement accuses San Leandro councilmembers of bullying and gender bias
By Roelle Balan
Adisciplinary hearing resulted in San Leandro Councilmembers Victor Aguilar and Fred Simon receiving discipline.
The hearing was prompted after Councilmember Xouhoa Bowen filed a human resources complaint in 2024. That launched an investigation, which ended in November 2025. Councilmembers received the results of the investigation. The HR investigative report was released to the public on Jan. 5.
The disciplinary hearing during the Jan. 20 council meet-
ing involved three votes. The first was to accept the findings of the independent HR investigation as facts. The second was to decide if disciplinary action is necessary and the third motion was to recommend possible disciplinary actions such as consultation with the mayor, a statement of disapproval or a letter of reprimand.
The council voted on drafting a resolution with a statement of disapproval and admonition. It would say that Aguilar and Simon violated the city’s administrative code with behaviors involving bullying, abusive conduct, retaliation and gender bias. The resolution would be up
for a vote during a future council meeting. Simon and Aguilar abstained from voting on their own disciplinary hearing.
The resolution would also include recommendations for corrective actions or behaviors. Bowen said, “The real work is changing behavior, and it is not my behavior that needs to be changed. I am calling it out, and the least that we can do is acknowledge the harm that has been caused.”
Aguilar said, “I take allegations of harassment and discrimination and retaliation very seriously. I always have, but I will not sit here quietly while ordinary democratic disagreement is repackaged as wrongdoing, while my integrity is questioned based on assumptions, narratives and mind reading instead of facts.
I do not agree with the conclusions of the investigation as they relate to me.”
Bowen said to Aguilar, “I want to ask the councilmember to find a way to hear the things that have been said and to hear me, and to understand that this isn’t about my hurt feelings. It really is about me trying to show up and do my job.”
Simon said, “This report contains mischaracterizations, it contains omitted information, it contains selective use of information. The investigator is biased, she has made untruthful statements, and she badgered me during the investigative process.”
Councilmember Dylan Boldt said, “If somebody feels you did something to them, that should sink in enough that you take that moment to say, ‘I’m sorry.’”

Indian spices come in varieties that can suit any cook
By Madhvika Singh
The word spice refers to the dried part of a plant, other than the leaves, used for seasoning and flavoring a recipe, but not typically used as the main ingredient. The leafy part of the plant used in this fashion is considered an herb. Spices add aroma, color and flavor to the food. They are also used in traditional systems of medicine across various countries.
If one wants to try out a new spice, deciding where to start can be daunting. I would use a couple of factors to decide. Is there a spice that speaks to you, or a restaurant dish you want to recreate at home? Spices come in different forms: whole fresh, whole dried, ground and as blends with other spices.
Although buying a whole spice is budget friendly, when I am trying a new spice, I like to go with the ready to use version for convenience. Quality and freshness make a difference. While fresh spices bring robust flavor and aroma, an old or rancid spice can easily ruin the dish. I prefer buying spices locally from an ethnic store for a wider selection.
If you are buying the whole spice, make sure you have a coffee or a spice grinder, or a mortar and pestle to process it. Keep spices fresh in an airtight container, away from light, heat and moisture, and always use clean, dry spoons for measuring.
Some spices need a medium to release their flavor, such as dry roasting or tempering.
Dry roasting
Add the whole spice to a dry skillet, gently tossing over medium heat, until it begins to smell toasty and fragrant. Transfer to another container and allow to cool. Once cool, grind with a spice grinder or in a mortar and pestle. Store
in a cool and dry place. Dry roasting takes out any excess moisture, making the spices easier to grind and improving their shelf life. A popular example is dry roasting the garam masala and then making a powder.
Heat any fat with a high smoke point and add the whole spice to it without letting either burn. The fat should be hot enough for the spice to sputter, but not burn. Let it infuse for a few minutes and pour it over the dish of choice. Spices that can be used this way are cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, crushed coriander seeds, red dried chilies, coarsely ground black pepper and asafoetida.
How much spice to use varies based on personal preference. For example, I use one teaspoon of spices for two cups of cooked daal (generic term for lentils and legumes). I measure everything before tempering. When using multiple spices, one must achieve a balance in taste, aroma and digestibility to suit individual needs.
The following are some of the everyday essentials in my spice box.
Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida, hing)
A tree resin, asafoetida is an essential spice and usually one of the first ones to be added to hot oil or ghee. It is assertive in its expression and is more of an acquired taste. It lends an umami to garlicky flavor to a dish. When using, less is more.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum)
This flowering vine is cultivated for its fruit, which is used as a spice. It gives off spicy, woody and some floral notes. Use whole in rice dishes, pickles, fritters and freshly crushed over pastas, salads and soups.
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum, hari elaichi )
A tropical aromatic, herbaceous plant in the ginger family commonly used in chai, rice dishes and desserts to lend a sweet, floral and eucalyptus-like fragrance. While the whole pod can be used in a spice blend, some like to use just the seeds. It can be added whole to a just-started dish, preferably lightly pounded to expose the seeds. Or its powder can be sprinkled over desserts before serving.
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum, laung)
It can be used whole or a part of a spice blend in savory and sweet dishes alike. It’s perfect for fall fruit-based desserts, like an apple crumble, along with cinnamon and nutmeg. It can also be added to chai along with cardamom for a flavor bomb.
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum, dhania)
Coriander seeds have a pleasant, sweet and spicy aroma. They are used for flavoring stews, meats, sauces, chutneys and such. They are also used in mouth freshener recipes.
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum, jeera)
An essential ingredient in Indian cooking that adds nutty and warm flavor, it
is truly a versatile spice—add it to rice, soups, daals, chutneys, curries, salads, plain yogurt. Whole cumin seeds can be added to the tempering, and roasted and ground cumin is great for adding later in the cooking process.
Fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare, saunf )
These can be used whole, gently crushed or powdered and impart earthy and fragrant notes when sprinkled over pickles or roasted vegetables.
Fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum, methi dana)
They can be used whole or powdered in pickles and in dry roasted vegetables. Fenugreek is bitter in taste and should be used sparingly if one is just getting started.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa, haldi )
A culinary staple, turmeric is added to a vast number of dishes for color, flavor and health benefits. I add the ground spice to dried beans while they are cooking and to vegetables when nearly done. I also use grated fresh turmeric in various gravy-based dishes, smoothies and flat breads. Turmeric infused milk is my alltime favorite.
This short list is just the beginning. The world of spices is vast, and so are the ways and foods in which they can be used.

The year is starting off on a pessimistic tone with grim projections for an uncertain economy, continued layoffs and a sluggish labor market. It’s natural to feel despair when you hear such bad news. Perhaps you want to escape reality by burying yourself in social media. Instead of mindlessly scrolling, why not start off your year with a plan for taking charge of your career development? I have nine recommendations you can do to start your work year on a strong note. Steps one through seven apply to everyone regardless of career stage. Steps eight and nine apply to those who have had at least one job.
Step 1:
Ask yourself: What is the next job I would like to see in my resume and when do I want to have this title? This self-reflection is important in helping you chart your course for the next year.
Step 2:
Once you have determined your next career goal is, take a look at five job postings for the job title you aspire to. Take careful notes on what skills are commonly asked for in these postings that you currently lack.
Step 3:
Do five or more informational interviews with people who are working in the jobs you are aspiring to be in. Ask for advice on how to get there, what the trends are and what critical skills and certifications are needed. You particularly want to ask about in-demand future skills.
Step 4:
Use the information from steps 2 and 3 to make a plan for getting experience or education in the skills you lack. There are many options for continuing education such as community college, online learning and education benefits offered by your employer. However, some employers offer free training to upgrade your skills. You might also be able to get on-the-job experience by volunteering to take on additional assignments.
Step 5:
Remember the thick packet of information given to you when you first
started your job? Chances are you never had the time to look in-depth at the benefits your company offers. Make 2026 the year where you actually take advantage of the free benefits offered by your employer. Many of these can be of help in supporting your career. See what courses or benefits they offer, such as yoga classes, free therapy, communication skills training and continuing education.
Step 6:
Network. Most people are aware of the importance of networking, but few actually bother to be methodical about their networking efforts. Make this the year when you change all that. Perhaps you can start by reaching out via LinkedIn to people working in the job title you aspire to have from step 1. Or perhaps you can attend an industry conference.
Step 7:
Find a mentor. One of the biggest differences between those who succeed professionally and those who flounder is the support of a mentor. Check out mentoring programs in your industry, professional association or your company.
Step 8:
Schedule a time with your boss about what you would like to achieve in 2026. This conversation requires advance preparation. If you did steps 1 through 3, you would be well prepared for this conversation.
Step 9:
Start a weekly habit of noting your accomplishments and praises you received. This file folder of your accomplishments will be critical when it comes to evaluations as well as when you are applying for your next job. Few people bother to do this, but it’s well worth the effort.
Regardless of what the job market reports say, what matters is what YOU do to take charge of your career. These steps will help strengthen your skillset and provide career clarity. Happy 2026, everyone!

Local leaders are feeling hopeful about this year’s homelessness point-in-time (PIT) Count, which took place on Jan. 22 in Alameda County.
The county’s health department said 2024’s PIT Count showed that overall, homelessness (including those in emergency shelters and transitional housing) dropped by 3%. The number of unsheltered residents (living in places not intended for habitation such as in cars or on the streets) decreased by 11% over the same period.
The people counted included those living in emergency shelters, transitional housing and who are unsheltered, mainly outdoors in cars, on streets and in parks. More than 1,200 volunteers are expected to have participated in this year’s PIT Count. The government’s Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates that the count is done every other year.
The PIT Count is a snapshot of the county’s homelessness population.
Jonathan Russell is director of Alameda County Health Housing and Homelessness Services. He said via email that the count is organized by location, with each location having a lead person. The county then provides the tools, methodology and training to conduct the count.
The PIT Count planning team includes consultants, local government representatives, nonprofit providers and people with lived experience of being unhoused. During the count, volunteers talk to people experiencing homelessness to find out why they were there and what they need to get out of homelessness.
Russell said having the PIT Count is a way to better understand the magnitude of homelessness in the county. It’s also a way to find out where evidence-based and compassionate solutions are most needed.
The count is important this year because federal funding cuts impacted HUD. Russell said the department is expected to lose between $33 to $60 million dollars in annual funding this year.
Measure W funding allocation for the Home Together Plan will hopefully fill the gap in proven homelessness solutions locally. The plan is a county-wide approach to reduce homelessness, focusing on prevention, providing more shelter space and housing, and overall easier system access and coordination between entities.
The board of supervisors allocated 80% of Measure W annual tax revenue towards the Home Together Plan in July 2025. Measure W came from a 2020 county sales tax ballot measure for general revenue, which explicitly stated the money would go towards homelessness and other essential county services.
● Fees would apply to businesses within or interacting with the city
By Roelle Balan
Hayward’s solution to their budget shortfall could be a potential business license tax measure update. Hayward city manager Jennifer Ott said during the Jan. 20 council meeting that they plan to modernize their business license tax. The tax charges anyone who has a business or does business with Hayward a yearly fee.
The financial director said the first step would be to work with Oakland consulting group Blue Sky to review their current business license tax and compare it to other jurisdictions. The city’s license tax hasn’t been updated in decades. Staff would present an update on the consulting group’s research at the Feb. 28 council meeting.
In March, the council can then decide if it wants to continue with potential ballot measure research and polling. The city would then decide in May if it wants to consider a potential ballot measure that would charge businesses an annual fee for running a business in the city.
Matthew Newman from Blue Sky joined the meeting virtually to answer any council questions. Councilmember George Syrop asked what a progressive business license tax would look like.
Newman said they recently helped update Oakland’s business tax. He said their license tax rates were higher for businesses that made more revenue, which are likely large companies.
“In Oakland, they did spend a lot of time, and we worked carefully with them to make sure that we didn’t tax business so much that they decided to leave,” Newman said. “Some care has to be paid to making sure that the tax rates aren’t so high that moving to a neighboring city looks like an attractive idea.”

offered it to the two historical societies for $1 per year.
Visitors can drop in on Wednesdays, Fridays and three weekends per month, either to explore the museum, get a guided tour or research in the archive. There are also tours of Rancho Higuera Historical Park and many guided historical walks through Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, Centerville and more.
The Higuera Adobe is one of the last remaining buildings in Washington Township from the Spanish-Mexican area and was built between 1830 and 1840. Every year, 30 to 50 groups of fourth-graders learn California history on the tours that include activities such as making adobe bricks and handdipped candles.
“We’re here to help people research history,” says Kelsey Camello, president of the board of directors.
The archives of the museum include a huge collection of photographs, documents, maps, household objects, paleontological finds, clothing, furniture, an early piano, horse-drawn buggies and much more. Researchers who wish to examine the museum resources will always find knowledgeable staff on hand to assist.
Much of the mission of the museum is to excite the current generation of
schoolchildren, not just about local history, but history in general, and photographs are some of the most important tools for teaching it. “Spark their imaginations and you generate interest,” says board member Barbara Baxter.
Camello relates to how excited kids are when they see for themselves the difference between the past and the present. “They really want to know more.”
One of the museum’s most valued recent acquisitions is a box of photos donated by Fremont Chamber of Commerce, culled from its files during its recent relocation. The high-quality, mostly black-and-white images show celebrated individuals, parades, pageants, business openings, ground breakings, real estate developments and more. Together they form an incredible resource documenting the growth and progress of the Tri-City area over the past 60 years.
More than a source of intriguing narratives, the museum’s archives also aid in more practical pursuits. “The most common reason for people to visit our archives is for property research,” says Camello. “They’re remodeling or they’re a developer, or the city has hired them to do a report. Of course, many people come looking for pictures of their relatives and old family homes.”
The records are not always complete, but “if we really put our minds to it, we can usually find something,” says Camello.
“The further back one goes, the more gaps there are,” says Baxter. “Some of the items we have are here by sheer happenstance. For no apparent reason, something ends up in an attic and eventually gets donated. Like an Assessor’s Record from 1910. Who decided to keep that?”
Some of the resources are the result of years of work by individuals. Philip Holmes (1924-2018), a transplant to the Fremont area, was an educator and author who spent 30 years pursuing his personal interest in the people and events of the Tri-City area, writing hundreds of articles and co-authoring several books. He kept extensive notes on his studies, and those documents are today one of the first places staff recommend to people looking to research the area.
Another individual was Dr. Robert Fisher. His many albums, now in the museum archives, contain hundreds of annotated photographs of historic places, painting a marvelously cohesive and extensive picture of the area’s growth since the mid-19th century.
The museum welcomes new members and is always happy to find places for volunteers. “We’re a really nice group
of people,” says Camello. “We have a lot of energy, and we love new people coming in. If you’re someone who is interested in history, just come in and we’ll find a way to fit you in. And if you have any kind of question, no matter how small, we’re here to serve the community.”

by creeks and wetlands. It would include 30 affordable housing units.
The proposed site will be built at the existing auto scrap yard Pick N’ Pull after a remediation process. The planning division said the area will be rezoned from park to residential use.
Newark Mayor Michael Hannon said the Mowry Village Project developer is working with outside counsel to respond to allegations in the lawsuit.
“The city has done its due diligence in terms of having an outside agent complete the environmental impact report,” said Hannon. “It’s not as if the city on its own did the environmental review, we actually hired an outside organization.”
Co-chair of CCCR Carin High said there are threats to federally endangered species, especially the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse. She said they live in tidal wetlands, which exist next to the project site.
The organization wants to preserve the tidal wetlands, not only for the safety of wildlife but also because there are environmental benefits to tidal marshes. “Tidal wetlands are recognised globally across the world as one of the most important habitats in this era we’re living in—of climate change—because they can store tremendous amounts of carbon,” said High.
EIR does recognize the need for potential flood protection, but did not analyze the entirety of the impacts. “There are other places to locate housing where you’re not going to have the risk of even temporary flood inundation,” said
High, “and eventually maybe permanent flood inundation.”
She said even temporary floods are in need of cleanup and restoration. “But that comes at a cost,” said High. “Is that a cost you want people or businesses to be subject to? Or is it better to locate housing in areas where this isn’t an issue?”
‘Tidal wetlands are recognised globally across the world as one of the most important habitats in this era [of climate change] we’re living in’
—Carin High, co-chair of CCCR
Hannon said there are mitigation measures in place for potential floods. “All environmental impacts that needed to be addressed in terms of raising the level of the development to ensure that the area is not subject to flooding has been addressed and will be addressed when the development gets built.”
The final EIR said there are plans to raise the ground where the development will be to allow for stormwater runoff. Mowry Avenue would be raised “slightly” to allow for the construction of lanes, bike paths and stormwater treatment.

My City. My Voice. We want to hear from you!
Fremont Safe, Clean, and Self-Reliant
Fremont is proud to be a safe, clean, and well-maintained community — a place where residents can live, work, and raise families. As state actions and the loss of federal support place added pressure on local services, it is becoming more challenging to maintain the high standards our community expects and deserves.
To plan responsibly for the future, the City is beginning a strategic planning process now to help guide decisions about essential services beginning next year; including fire and police protection, emergency response, street and park maintenance, youth and senior programs, and homelessness services. Thank you to the residents who have
already shared their feedback. As we continue this work, your input is vital.
Please take a moment to share your priorities for a safe, strong and self-reliant Fremont at my.fremont.gov/myvoice.
To stay informed, or for future updates, visit fremont.gov/myvoice.
The City of Fremont’s “50–50” Programs help property owners save money while maintaining the street trees and sidewalks adjacent to their property.
Through the 50-50 Street Tree Program, the City will reimburse property owners for 50% of the cost of pruning, removing and replacing, or planting a street tree. Property owners can be reimbursed up to $1,500 per tree (with a maximum of two trees per property.
The 50-50 Sidewalk Repair Program provides financial assistance for sidewalk, curb, or gutter repairs. Property owners can be reimbursed up to $7,500 per property. This program helps improve safety for pedestrians.
Although property owners are responsible for the care of street trees
and the repair of nearby sidewalks, these programs offer financial assistance to help reduce costs. By taking part in these programs, you’ll be limiting your liability, investing in your property, and making your neighborhood safer and more livable. Assistance is available but limited while funds last. Together, we can create greener streets and safer sidewalks for everyone.
For more information about our 50-50 Street Tree Program visit city.fremont.gov/50-50-treeprogram. For more information about our 50-50 Sidewalk Repair Program visit city.fremont.gov/50-50sidewalkprogram.

All Signs: This week Neptune moves into Aries. The last time it was in Aries was 186 to 1875. Neptune is about illusion, dreams and confusion. It ranges from the perfection of beauty and the highest ideals to drugs, despair and self-martyrdom. Since 2012, Neptune has been in Pisces, encouraging spirituality and escapism. By contrast, Aries is pioneering, courageous, militant and independent. It wants results. No one alive today has experienced Neptune in Aries. The last time it occurred we had revolutions, and a redefining of cultural identities. Aries wants to know what’s worth fighting for.
Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):
This week Neptune enters your sign, introducing a subtle influence in your life for the next decade. You might no longer resonate with old labels or expectations. Even your outer style might change. You might express yourself in ways that have always secretly appealed to you. And yes, this might increase confusion in others because they’re not sure who you are anymore. Your compassion for others will be stimulated, which means you might become more involved with caring for someone, or you might volunteer with charitable groups.
Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20): In the next decade, you might question what success means. Success in material and traditional ways might not be satisfying. You might start to ask yourself if you’re being fulfilled in an inner way—or is your life a masquerade? Some of you will withdraw and examine your values. You might become more concerned with the meaning of life. It’s curious but you’ll notice that your psychic abilities will increase.
Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20): In the coming decade, you’ll be more choosey about who you hang out with. You’ll be more attracted to people who share your feelings and ideas. Because of this, some friendships will drift away. Material ambitions might be replaced by a need for offering service to community or humanity. Note: Don’t become a martyr to a friend or a group. Make sure others deserve your efforts and your time. Expect to explore psychic and spiritual
matters more than you usually do. Choose your friends carefully.
Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):
In the next decade, you might question where you’re headed in life. You might wonder if there’s any purpose in what you’re doing. Because of this, some of you will choose social service work, nursing, helping those who are poor or disadvantaged, or dealing with emotional or drug problems. (You are a nurturing, caring person.) But you will also realize that you can be helpful and supportive to anyone you encounter no matter your path in life, because in varying degrees, everyone needs help and emotional and psychological support. But you know this.
Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):
Regarding the subtle influence that Neptune will introduce into your life in the next 13 years, you can expect to have an increasing interest in higher consciousness and spiritual truth. You might travel somewhere to find teachers or gurus that you admire. You might seek out new schools of thought or take courses. You will buy books and explore new ideas. Your thoughts will become ideas that you express and ultimately turn into actions that lead to different results. Newer knowledge is inevitable.
Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):
In the next decade, you will feel that an old order is passing away and a new one is coming into existence. You might encounter confusion or misunderstandings related to shared property or fraud. You might feel that the truth is being withheld. Be clear in all your dealings with banks, inheritances and any legal arrangements that impact your assets. Neptune can introduce confusion and unrealistic expectations. Like many others, your interest in psychology or the occult will increase. Basically, you want to learn more about yourself and what is driving you.
Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):
Relationships are important to you. Neptune will oppose your sign for the next decade, affecting your marriage, partnerships and closest friends. It might introduce misunderstandings and poor communications because Neptune is hazy and often unrealistic. You might over idealize a relationship, which later leads to disappointment. Be clear about what you expect in a relationship. Don’t assume someone knows what you want or who you are. You might also have to take care of someone. Relationships will suffer from confusion but they will also offer you spiritual growth.
Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):
Many of you work in the medical profession or counselling; or you might be involved in police work, security jobs, jewelry, plumbing or acting. This
new shift of Neptune could encourage confusion or lead you to make a wrong assumption. Because of confused communications related to your job, you might change your work to one of helping others. Be careful of misunderstandings with employers or employees. Make sure you understand where the other person is coming from. Your health might also become a focus, prompting you to explore new dietary regimes.
Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):
In the coming decade, your standards for romantic interests might become impossibly high. Unconsciously, you will be seeking your ideal romantic image. But of course, the ideal doesn’t exist in real life. This tendency will lead to disappointment because you will discover you’re dealing with a real person with flaws, inadequacies and limitations—the same qualities you have. On the upside, Neptune will give you a fabulous blessing in the next decade because it will promote your ability as an artist. The perfection you seek in your external world will also apply to your internal visions.
Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):
No matter how conservative or quirky you might appear (there are all kinds of Capricorns), home and family are strong values for you. This week as Neptune changes signs, it will begin to reshape your private life. You will want to create a more “ideal home” for yourself. You might feel drawn to live by water. You might see family members in a new light. However, confusion might also be in the picture. Communications with family members, especially parents, might be difficult. Be clear in all your communications and speak up if you think there is confusion.
Aquarius the Water Bearer (January 20-February 18):
As Neptune shifts signs this week it ushers in a subtle change that will manifest in the next decade. Your thinking will become more intuitive, symbolic and imaginative. You will be less interested in facts and more drawn to stories. It’s a wonderful influence for writing, poetry, music, film and spiritual studies. You might find your ways of dealing with the world and how you think are transforming. Your interest in metaphysical and spiritual truth will increase.
Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Your ruler Neptune is finally leaving your sign after being there for 13 years creating confusion and idealistic hopes. Now it moves into ambitious Aries—a sign that likes results. In the next decade, you might undergo a fundamental change in your attitude toward your material possessions. Confusion in these areas is likely. Tread carefully to avoid costly mistakes. Your sense of worth will become more idealistic while old values might fade away. You might explore nontraditional ways of earning money.
CRYING FOR H MART The Asian grocery store would fill a gap in Pacific Commons Shopping Center, vacated by Kohls in 2025. April
● Two-story market will be brand’s largest in California
By staff
On Jan. 20, Fremont announced that the city would welcome a new H Mart in Pacific Commons Shopping Center. The Asian market would move into the building vacated by Kohls in April 2025.
The two-story location is over 100,000 square feet and would be the largest H Mart in California. In addition to a grocery focusing on Korean cooking essentials, the store would include a food hall, dine-in restaurants and bar.
In Fremont, H Mart joins Korean grocery store Mega Mart, which opened in the city in 2022. There are already several H Marts in the Bay Area: in Cupertino, Northeast San Jose and South San Francisco.
So far, construction is estimated to begin later in 2026. No firm date is set for construction or opening.
Pacific Commons also saw the opening of Asian boutique Miniso, on Friday, Jan. 17. At 12,000 square feet, it’s the largest in the Bay Area.

Sports and school often go hand-inhand, and on Saturday, Jan. 17, the Golden State Warriors showed their appreciation for all teachers and instructors of the Bay Area at Educators Night. The night was filled with special moments and nods to educators and support staff.
The celebration began hours before tip-off. The Warriors organization hosted over 200 educators from local school districts at a pre-game mixer. Attendees were welcomed with food and beverages, and received a Warriors picnic blanket and commemorative shirt.
On the court, former Solano County librarian and current host of the revived PBS children’s series, Reading Rainbow, Mychal Threets was chosen as the night’s honorary Bell Ringer. “I was nervous at first, I'm not gonna lie,” said Threets after ringing the bell. “But as soon as they showed me and I just started ringing the bell, it was as simple as that.”
As Threets rang the bell, Warriors and Hornets players began to warm up on the court, giving him the chance to brush shoulders with players like Steph Curry.
At half time, students and teachers of Mission Hills Middle School in Union City took over the court in a teacher versus student scrimmage. The crowd cheered as students and teachers had a playful moment on the Warrior court.
Director of education and founder of Mission Hills Middle School, Ayse Kaya, said, “Our team has been playing on the court every year for the past 10 years, but a few years ago they put us on Educators Night and that’s a whole different experience. We love Educators Night.”
The goal of Educators Night is to show gratitude to teachers, administrators, instructors and support staff, and the mission seems to have been accomplished.
“For people like basketball players, athletes [to say] educators are cool, they are all important, gives us a chance to feel seen,” said Threets, “and for all sorts of people of all ages to know that we do have an impact on the world and the community. To be here tonight as an educator, as a helper, is such an incredible feeling.”
