When It’ s More Than “Baby Blues”

Managing peripartum depression and anxiety

Pregnancy and parenthood bring big changes — not just physically, but emotionally, too. Washington Health psychiatrist Suselina Acosta-Goldstein, MD, notes that anxiety or depression during the weeks and months before and after childbirth are often described with soft, minimizing language such as: “baby blues,” mood swings, or hormonal ups and downs. But for many parents, the emotional reality of the peripartum period is far more complex. While temporary tearfulness and fatigue are common, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real, treatable medical conditions that deserve thoughtful attention.

Dr. Acosta, who specializes in peripartum mental health, will present, “When It’s More than Baby Blues: Managing Peripartum Depression and Anxiety” at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 4, focusing on preventing and managing depression and anxiety that may be experienced both before and after childbirth. She will discuss the difference between normal postpartum adjustment, burnout, and clinical depression and anxiety, including symptoms and treatment strategies. More than hormones

Hormonal shifts for moms after birth are significant, but they are only part of the story. Affecting more than 75% of new parents, the usual postpartum

period is marked by sleep disruption, intense neurochemical changes and cognitive shifts, including forgetfulness and slowed thinking as well as heightened emotional sensitivity.

Many new parents describe feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and emotionally stretched thin, especially when dealing with colic, feeding challenges or limited support. Sometimes this is closer to burnout than clinical depression, and improves with rest, practical support and relief from constant demands.

“Sleep deprivation alone can produce mood instability,” Dr. Acosta explained. “And new parents are building entirely new neural pathways with their new baby. Unlike established relationships, a baby requires constant interpretation — learning their cries, rhythms, feeding cues, and sleep patterns. The brain works overtime to form these connections. Research even suggests that adoptive parents experience similar neural changes, underscoring that this transition is not purely hormonal.”

Parents with clinical postpartum depression present with persistent low mood nearly every day for two weeks or more; anxiety for more than half the days for six months or more; inability to function, eat, or sleep; or loss of joy or connection with others. It can even affect fathers and non-birthing parents who are heavily involved in caring for the infant.

“Calling this complex neurological and psychological shift ‘baby blues’ often minimizes what is actually happening,” Dr. Acosta emphasized. “Clinical depression or anxiety persists despite rest and may require therapy, medication, or structured intervention. Part of effective care is determining where someone falls on that spectrum.”

Treatment strategies

Dr. Acosta noted that depression or anxiety symptoms can last up to 18 months without treatment; significantly less with treatment. Ongoing care often continues for at least 12 months after symptoms resolve, followed by gradual tapering and monitoring. Parents who engage in therapy often report that the skills they develop — boundary setting, self-care, communication — continue to benefit them long after the postpartum period ends.

While therapy and medication are critical for moderate-to-severe symptoms, there is strong research supporting specific lifestyle interventions — particularly for prevention and in mild-to-moderate cases. The goal is not to add pressure to new parents, but to focus energy on the strategies that are most likely to work.

“There are four lifestyle modifications that I prescribe for my postpartum depression and anxiety patients,”

Dr. Acosta said. “These work in tandem to help new parents who are struggling with postpartum mood imbalances. The key is consistency.”

The first modification is 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio per week, divided up into 20- to 30-minute sessions. Exercise can include brisk walking, running, swimming or cycling. Second, at least 20 minutes daily of exposure to natural sunlight to support mood regulation. This could be especially important for people with darker skin tones or lower vitamin D levels. Third, active engagement with nature reduces depressive symptoms. The benefit is strongest when nature is the focus of attention. Two intentional nature interactions per week can produce measurable benefit.

Lastly, nutrition is a supportive strategy to use with the others. While dietary changes are more difficult to implement consistently during early parenthood, research suggests reducing red meat and dairy, and increasing plantbased proteins (such as beans, lentils and chickpeas) may contribute to improved mood. Diet is not typically the first-line

It may be challenging to know when new moms are simply exhausted or if they need a little extra care.

intervention, but can be effective when combined with other interventions.

While some postpartum patients respond to a combination of therapy and lifestyle changes, others may need medication. Dr. Acosta noted some new mothers, especially those who are breastfeeding, may have concerns about taking antidepressants.

“I usually prescribe medications, such as Zoloft, which has extensive safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and that do not show links to longterm developmental issues,” she said.

“For moderate-to-severe depression or anxiety, medication can shorten suffering and allow parents to be more emotionally present during a critical developmental window for their child. Treatment is not a failure — it is often an act of protection for both parent and baby.”

Dr. Acosta’s “When It’s More than Baby Blues: Managing Peripartum Depression and Anxiety” will be available on Saturday, April 4, at 10 a.m. Following the presentation, it will be added to the WH library at YouTube.com/@Washington_Health.

Faster, Safer, Home Sooner After Hip Replacement

New technologies are transforming anterior hip replacement surgery

Hip replacement surgery is one of medicine’s most successful procedures. Today, new innovations are making it even better, yielding faster recoveries, safer outcomes and same-day discharge for most patients. At the forefront of this evolution is the anterior approach to hip replacement, a muscle-sparing technique that, when combined with advanced surgical technology, is redefining recovery and restoring mobility for patients of all ages.

On Saturday, April 18, Washington Health orthopedic surgeon Alexander Sah, MD, will present, “Faster, Safer, Home Sooner after Hip Replacement: New technologies for same-day anterior hip replacement surgery,” a seminar focused on these advances in surgical techniques and technology. Dr. Sah serves as medical director of the Washington Outpatient Surgery Center Arthroplasty Program and is co-medical director of the WH Institute for Joint Restoration and Research. A past president of the Anterior Hip Foundation, and co-author of Anterior Hip Replacement textbook with Joel Matta, MD, he has helped advance the standards of anterior hip replacement nationwide.

Muscle-Sparing Approach

All hip replacements use the same fundamental implant: a stem and a cup

made from advanced materials such as titanium. The difference lies in how surgeons access the joint.

Traditional surgical approaches, including posterior and lateral approaches, require cutting through muscles and tendons to reach the hip. The anterior approach works between natural muscle planes without detaching key soft tissues. That preservation of the “soft tissue envelope” helps maintain stability around the joint.

“The hip instability seen with posterior approaches is related to cutting through muscle and tendon,”

Dr. Sah explained. “By preserving those structures, the anterior approach creates a more stable hip and supports faster recovery. Dislocations often associated with posterior approaches can occur both early and late, even many years after surgery due to soft tissue disruption. With the anterior approach, instability is dramatically reduced, almost being virtually nonexistent.”

Because muscles remain intact, patients typically experience:

• Less post-operative pain

• Fewer movement restrictions

• Lower risk of dislocation

• Quicker return to normal function

Technology Elevates Precision

Dr. Sah said the anterior approach is uniquely suited to modern surgical

technology. Several innovations work together to improve accuracy, efficiency and outcomes.

A major innovation is the Hana table, an operating room table developed specifically for anterior hip replacement. Unlike traditional operating tables where patients lie on their side during surgery, the Hana table allows surgery to be performed with the patient lying flat on their back.

This positioning offers several advantages:

• More stable and reproducible alignment

• Reduced risk of body shifting during surgery

• Greater surgeon control of leg positioning

• Improved patient comfort

When patients are on their side for posterior and lateral hip surgery, subtle twisting, especially in those with scoliosis or other spinal conditions, can affect implant placement. Even if a surgeon positions components identically each time when the patient is on their side, differences in body positioning can alter the final result. Lying flat eliminates that variability.

The anterior approach also uniquely allows surgeons to use live X-ray imaging during the procedure through a mobile C-arm. This permits surgeons to image both hips and use the healthy side as a real-time reference.

“In medicine, it’s rare to have a patient’s own anatomy serve as a direct control,” Dr. Sah noted. “By overlaying images, surgeons can match leg length, alignment and joint mechanics with millimeter precision. We can also confirm the correct implant size and position during surgery.”

Because of that, if adjustments are needed, they can be made on the spot. With traditional approaches, imaging only occurs after surgery is complete in the recovery room, making changes impossible without re-doing the surgery.

Dr. Sah uses integrated digital software platforms designed for real-time interoperative guidance to enhance X-ray images, reducing distortion. The platform automatically identifies anatomic landmarks, instruments and implants to improve accuracy and outcomes.

“The technology systems plug into the C-arm and instantly analyze images, providing objective measurements,” Dr. Sah explained. “Instead of relying solely on visual estimation, we receive real-time feedback on position, even

down to a millimeter or half a degree of angle. This layer of objective precision helps us hit our targets more consistently and efficiently.”

Same-Day Standard

Dr. Sah noted expanded technology has reduced his anterior hip replacement surgery time to under an hour. Spinal anesthesia is the standard, allowing patients to experience fewer side effects and quicker recovery.

“Most patients are walking a few hours after surgery and go home the same day,” he said. “By two weeks, many are using a cane or no support at all. By six weeks, they’re often back to swinging a golf club.”

Modern implants built from advanced titanium alloys are designed to integrate with bone. The bone grows into the implant surface, creating longterm biological fixation. The implants are extremely durable and can last 20-30 years or longer.

Patients in their 40s through their 90s can benefit. From gardening and pickleball, to skiing, surfing, dancing, and golfing, most recreational activities are fully supported.

“You can bike, swim, ski, golf, tennis, hike, surf – do what you love,” he said. “We’re giving people the opportunity to walk again, to play with their grandchildren, to return to the activities that define them. We’re giving people back their mobility and quality of life.”

Dr. Sah’s Health & Wellness seminar, “Faster, Safer, Home Sooner after Hip Replacement: New technologies for same-day anterior hip replacement,” will be available on Saturday, April 18, at 10 a.m. Following the presentation, it will be added to the WH video library at YouTube.com/@Washington_Health.

New book restores women to Bay Area history

By Samantha Campos

During Women’s History Month, we celebrate women who have shaped our world—many whose names have finally become familiar. But as award-winning KQED journalist Rae Alexandra notes in her new book Unsung Heroines: 35 Women Who Changed the Bay Area, many others have yet to receive their due.

In San Francisco, only about 13% of street names, statues, parks and public artworks honor women. Alexandra decided to respond the way she knew best: by writing them back into history. One of those women has direct ties to the Tri-Cities area.

Tsuyako “Sox” Kitashima was born in Hayward in 1918, the fifth of six children of Masajiro and

Yumi Kataoka, immigrants from Japan. After losing their San Francisco restaurant in the 1906 earthquake, the family turned to farming—first in Niles and later in Centerville—growing strawberries until World War II.

Everything changed in 1942, three months after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. Like 120,000 other Japanese Americans, the Kataoka family was forcibly removed from their home. At the Tanforan racetrack in San Bruno, they were housed in converted horse stables. For Tsuyako, then 23, the humiliation of sleeping in a

stall—after the family had been forced to sell most of their belongings and euthanize their dog—was unforgettable.

Soon the family was transferred to the Topaz incarceration camp in Utah. There, Alexandra writes, Tsuyako “evolved into a force to be reckoned with.” She became an assistant block manager and served as a liaison between residents and government officials, advocating for better conditions throughout the three years she was imprisoned.

After the war, Tsuyako returned to the Bay Area and continued a lifetime of service. She worked for the War Relocation Authority and the San Francisco Veterans Administration, and later volunteered with community organizations including Kimochi Inc. in Japantown.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

City of Fremont’s transition to charter city comes with a cost

Cities typically convert from a General Law structure to a Charter for two complementary reasons: boosting tax revenues through tools such as a real estate transfer tax, and empowering elected officials in the name of “accountability.”

On Feb. 17, 2026, five Fremont council members voted to fast-track Vice Mayor Zhang’s charter city proposal toward the November 2026 ballot. Councilmembers Campbell and Kimberlin dissented, and both the city manager and city attorney expressed reservations about the compressed timeline.

Zhang was undeterred issuing a rallying cry of “Let’s Go Fremont” and instructed the city manager to deprioritize competing objectives. Without a hint of irony, she lamented the council’s lack of executive pow-

er, but in the very next breath she bluntly directed the city manager to make it happen: “We are not in the executive branch; we have no power... if we direct you to do that, I would like you to find a solution to make it work or at least proceed and start.” It seems that greater council control and more executive power starts now.

Charter advocates promise greater efficiency, improved services and a more responsive government. What they have not explained is how the city will pay for the additional staffing, expanded programs and administrative restructuring the charter would require.

The half-cent sales tax increase on the November 2026 ballot would bring in $3060 million a year, independent of whether the city chooses

a charter or stays general law. Staff warned that putting a charter city measure on the ballot could dilute support for the sales tax measure.

The goals and priorities of a charter city are spread far and wide. It starts with giving greater authority to the city council. The council wants to be involved in high-level hiring decisions such as the police chief, more oversight of day-today city operations and autonomy from Sacramento mandates. Several council members spoke longingly of a strong mayor structure with a correspondingly weakened city manager role.

Charter city proponents ignore the cost of restructuring. They want to boost spending on homeless encampment enforcement, claiming that enforcement has stalled. They

Her activism reached a national stage when she became a spokesperson for the National Coalition for Redress and Reparations, lobbying Congress and organizing letter-writing campaigns—once mailing more than 8,000 letters to President Ronald Reagan and lawmakers.

Their efforts helped lead to the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which formally apologized for the incarceration and provided reparations to survivors.

Alexandra’s book—adapted from her long-running KQED series Rebel Girls from Bay Area History and illustrated by Adrienne Simms—will be published March 17 by City Lights Booksellers & Publishers. Stories like Tsuyako Kitashima’s remind us that history is not fixed. Sometimes it simply needs to be told.

blame this on the council’s inability to compel staff to act, while staff points to limited homeless resources as the actual constraint.

Charter supporters want to give the city council more budget control, though elected politicians are not known for their fiscal prudence. Finally, the backers of this proposal want to add staff to support council members, so elected officials will be the first to benefit.

It seems the transition to a charter city won’t come cheap.

Fremont moves forward with charter city plans

● Councilmembers ask for more transparency

By Roelle Balan

The City of Fremont has moved forward with city charter plans by creating a seven-member Charter Advisory Committee.

The group will be in charge of working on a proposed city charter with city staff who would recommend best practices and key issues. Member applications are due next week, March 17.

The council approved a city charter work plan on March 3. It includes the charter committee having 42 days to meet six times before submitting a report on May 8. The city council will then hold two public meetings before making a final vote on the proposed charter on July 28.

The city charter ballot question will then be sent to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters by Aug. 7 and will be put in front of voters this November.

Councilmembers Desrie Campbell and Kathy Kimberlin both expressed their support for the city charter overall, but they had concerns. Both councilmembers voted against the formation of the city Charter Advisory Committee and the city charter workplan.

Campbell said the rushed workplan doesn’t allow time for the robust community engagement it deserves. Kimberlin said it’s conflicting to have both a city

charter and a sales tax revenue measure on the November ballot.

She said if the revenue measure doesn’t pass, the city would be in an even worse situation financially. It would cost the city $600,000 to $850,000 to put the city charter measure on the ballot.

It’s conflicting to have both a city charter and a sales tax revenue measure on the November ballot

The council members added amendments to the workplan, including a schedule for public outreach and opportunities for residents to submit public comments. Another recommendation is to identify the city staff who will work with the charter advisory committee.

Vice Mayor Yajing Zhang initiated the city charter process. She reiterated her reason for wanting to establish a city charter.

“I just want to reemphasize that this is for leadership clarity,” said Zhang. “And for the execution speed. Also accountability for results. We cannot dictate one way or another. But this is how democracy works, and we have to exercise that.”

ENJOY LAZY MEALS ON BUSY DAYS

These low effort Indian dishes still taste delicious

By Madhvika Singh

Some days I can cook up storms in the kitchen effortlessly, but other days I cannot be bothered by meal prep and all the other kitchen work that results from cooking. As someone who prefers to cook and eat at home, quick, low effort recipes come to the rescue.

Basmati rice, carrot raita and spiced potatoes are some of my favorite lazy day dishes for a quick meal that pairs well with many other leftovers that might be sitting in the refrigerator. With just a handful of ingredients, these can be put together in no time and hardly feel like a chore.

Basmati white rice

Ingredients:

1 cup basmati rice

2 cups water

¼ cup shelled frozen peas

Aromatics: An inch of cinnamon stick, 2-3 bay leaves, few green cardamom pods ½ tsp salt to taste

1 tsp oil of choice or ghee

Yields about three to four cups of cooked rice

Instructions:

Rinse the rice in four to five washes of water and let it soak for 20 minutes. To a shallow pan, add oil or ghee and once it is medium hot, add the aromatics. Once the aromatics have bloomed and released their fragrance, remove the pan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Add the measured-out water and bring it to a boil. Drain the water from the soaked rice and add the rice to the pan and maintain it at gentle boil. I like to add frozen peas at this point. Once the rice has absorbed water and you start noticing dimples on the surface, reduce heat to the lowest setting and cover the pan with a lid.

Once the rice has doubled in appearance, check for doneness by smashing a few grains between the thumb and the index finger. It should be soft without any grittiness. Remove from heat, keep the lid on and let it rest for another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and enjoy with daal, or a curry-based dish like chicken or mutton. I sometimes replace up to one-third of the rice with the same amount of quinoa at the time of soaking, and it does well without altering the recipe, taste or texture for me. When reheating, add a splash of water to prevent the rice from drying out, and cover.

Carrot Raita

Ingredients:

2 cups plain yogurt, whisked to remove any lumps

1 medium carrot, finely grated

¼ cup onions, finely chopped

2 tbsp coriander, finely chopped

¼ teaspoon roasted cumin powder

Freshly crushed black pepper

Chaat masala to taste (tangy Indian spice blend, optional)

Salt to taste

Instructions:

In a prep bowl whisk plain yogurt until smooth and creamy. While nonfat and fat-free yogurt work equally well, full fat will yield a richer and creamier flavor and texture. If the yogurt feels too thick, add a few spoonfuls of water as you are whisking it to adjust the consistency. Add in the finely grated carrot, chopped onions, salt, roasted cumin powder, chat masala and gently mix in the ingredients.

Garnish with chopped coriander and freshly grated black pepper and let it sit for a few minutes. Carrot raita goes well with rice dishes like pilafs and biryanis and flatbreads like parathas. You can also use greek yogurt in place of yogurt.

With the thicker consistency of the Greek yogurt, it can also be used as a dip for fresh cut vegetables like cucumbers, radishes or celery.

Aloo subzi - (Spiced potatoes)

Ingredients:

4-5 medium-sized potatoes peeled, cut in quarters

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 inch piece of ginger root, finely chopped

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp red chili powder, adjust to taste

Few sprigs of coriander, finely chopped

A pinch of hing (asafetida) - assertive flavor alert

2 tsp oil of choice or ghee

Salt to taste

Instructions:

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan. I like to use a cast iron skillet. Add two teaspoons of oil of choice or ghee. Add cumin, finely chopped ginger and a pinch of hing and cook for a minute on medium heat. Add the potatoes and sauté on high for another minute. Sprinkle a few pinches of salt and mix well. Reduce the heat to

the lowest and cover with a lid. The type of potatoes and their moisture content will determine how fast they cook. Check in about three minutes and turn them over. Cover again and if the bottom of the pan looks dry, add a few tablespoons of water, and cook for another four minutes. Check for doneness with a fork or a knife. I like to keep just a bit of resistance and do not cook all the way through.

Right when I am about to turn the stove off, I season them with turmeric and red chili powder. My personal favorite is to add mango and fennel powder in addition to the above-mentioned spices.

Cover with the lid again and let it sit for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander. We use these in wraps, pitas and as sides with any flat breads like pooris. Potatoes in this recipe can also be replaced with sweet potatoes, and cubed paneer can be added as well.

These recipes not only work well for quick meals on busy days, but these can also be prepared in advance. While freshly prepared recipes taste the best, these work and taste just as fine even after staying a few days in the refrigerator.

Fremont restaurant week kicks off with 70 participants

— Continued from page 1

all participating restaurants.” A website and a billboard on Northbound I-880 help get the word out.

Fremont Bank hosted the event on the sixth floor of their downtown headquarters, with a splendid view overlooking the city and hills. The local bank is at the heart of the city’s ongoing downtown revitalization efforts, and several downtown restaurants are participating in Restaurant Week—Din Ding Dumpling House, Pints of Joy and STARDUST Coffee House.

Fremont Bank president Don Merrick spoke about how the bank helped local businesses with Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the pandemic, and thanked the participating restaurants catering at the event: Massimos, Skillet’z, Tea-Rek’z, Ristorante Il Porcino, Federico’s Grill and El Rodeo (via a delivery by DoorDash Dot).

Donovan Lazaro, Fremont economic director, said on Restaurant Week, “It really came out of necessity. When we were starting to get our heads out of the pandemic, we were faced with a really challenging environment. People were still not going out to dine. Our restaurants had been through hell for two-plus years. We knew we needed to do everything that we could to help them. That’s how Restaurant Week started.”

New this year is the much anticipated—and debated—rollout of DoorDash delivery bot “Dot” in Fremont. In part one of a phased approach, Dot will operate in the Centerville, City Center and Irvington areas of Fremont.

For the kickoff, Dot rolled the two miles from El Rodeo to the bank headquarters and emerged from the elevator proudly bearing two DoorDash orders. Dot is also built locally in Fremont by Sonic Manufacturing. Harrison Shih, senior director at DoorDash Labs, said at the event, “From our vantage point, Fremont is special too by being a city where things are built. Its advanced robotics, its world-class manufacturing.”

Dot will be implemented in phases, so the city can monitor how well the robot is managing city traffic. Salwan said, “As with any new technology, thoughtful implementation matters.”

However, that leaves the question of whether featuring a delivery service so prominently is at odds with Restaurant Week’s goal of boosting foot traffic to local businesses. Will people discover new places via the app, or will ease of delivery dissuade people from stepping outside at all and leave restaurants shouldering the additional costs?

Shih emphasized that the features on DoorDash encourage users to interact with businesses in a variety of ways, not only delivery but also dine in, to-go and grocery delivery.

“Sometimes people just want their favorite food at home,” he said. “I have three kids at home and I’m a huge user. Sometimes it’s hard to get out, but I still want to support local businesses.”

State Senator Wahab addresses housing and immigration concerns at State of the District

a housing bill signed into law early last year. Highlights of the bill include limits to HOA fees that block accessory dwelling unit project plans, limits to Housing Owner Association fees and seismic safety funds for affordable housing projects.

Along Capitol Avenue in Fremont’s downtown, DoorDash drivers already cause some traffic issues by “parking” behind the diagonal street parking spots. A moped-sized Dot may be less disruptive.

No matter what technology people use, Restaurant Week is always an opportunity to take advantage of limited-time discounts and menu items across an impressive range of restaurants and cafes. As Mayor Salwan said, “Fremont’s food scene tells the story of who we are: diverse, entrepreneurial and full of flavor.”

Restaurant Week runs until March 15. fremontrestaurantweek.com

There was a Q&A session after the district update and Wahab said a lot of people asked about ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). She said there is legal support available and local rapid response networks. There is also state legislation made to protect people from ICE. For example, Wahab co-authored the No Masks Act, also known as SB 627, which passed in September. The state law would make it a crime for any law enforcement officer to wear a mask while on the job, including federal agencies like ICE. “Anybody that is law enforcement needs to be able to identify themselves,” Wahab said.

Wahab also co-authored the No Kings Act, amended in January, that says no president is above the law.

Wahab said they do update other cities about laws that recently passed and share updates from Sacramento. An example is the World Cup in June.

“There’s potential to generate a lot of revenue on the business that is gonna happen when tourists come into the district and eat at our restaurants, shop at our stores and much more,” said Wahab.

New library cafe is Kneaded

● A San Leandro bakery is opening a second location in the main library

By Jeffrey Edalatpour

The library can be a place of refuge, a temporary retreat from life’s stressors or a gateway to Libby, the audiobook app of my dreams. Sadly, Libby still doesn’t offer instant access to pastries. But the San Leandro Public Library now hosts the As Kneaded Café under its roof.

Iliana Berkowitz’s San Leandro bakery opened a second location in the library on Saturday, Feb. 14. This time with a refurbished espresso machine along with the pastries, sandwiches and viennoiserie that have appeared at Bay Area farmers’ markets for the past decade.

Berkowitz described the expansion as a wonderful opportunity to extend the person-to-person service and hospitality that As Kneaded Bakery is known for.

“Now people can come to the library and enter my side door before the library opens,” she said. “They can sit down, have

a lavender latte, get a fresh-baked croissant from the bakery, or they can come for lunch and have quiche and a salad, or one of our Parisian sandwiches.”

Pre-library opening, I dropped by As Kneaded Bakery for the first time this month. I was lured in by a photo of those Parisian sandwiches. That day I chose the tuna on baguette over the vegetarian chickpea.

I once ordered a tuna sandwich in Paris. It was served not on a baguette but on a huge round bun that was closer to, but not exactly, brioche. The fish was brined in olive oil and paired with olives. I’d never tasted anything so briny and salty, and so clearly influenced by Mediterranean flavors. As Kneaded’s very American tuna salad sandwich is much less potent, but still comforting and familiar.

The library cafe will provide Berkowitz and her team with a first-time opportunity to have a full espresso bar. The bakery headquarters on Victoria Court simply doesn’t have room for a coffee program. “To be able to make as many baked goods as we do, you need a lot of physical space to work,” she said. Fifty-pound bags of flour take up a lot of

and

space. All of the cooking and baking will remain at the original location.

“I want to situate us to make sure we’re up and running before we expand in any particular direction,” Berkowitz said. “And, of course, to see what the community is vibing with.”

Another fun feature of the San Leandro location is the “pay it forward option” where customers can choose to purchase a drink to be enjoyed by a later patron.

In 2016 while working full-time at another bakery, Berkowitz launched As Kneaded to make and sell her own bread. “I was in my mid to late 20s, without having a family,” she recalled. “I was feeling empowered by the support and early success I had seen with my bread club.”

While living in San Leandro, Berkowitz commuted to a commercial kitchen in San Mateo.

“There’s a rentable bread oven there. It’s the only one of its kind in the Bay Area,” she said. Other commercial kitchens, she said, couldn’t accommodate the production of “thick-crusted, stream-injected bread at high volume.”

As Kneaded Bakery initially sold bread at the College of San Mateo’s Farmers’

Market, and continues to do so. “That’s been a throughline from February 2017,” she said. “Then we did wholesale, so I would deliver bread to different small markets.” She then began the search for her own space.

In 2018 she opened the bakery after someone mentioned the space was available to rent.

“It’s tucked away in the Broadmoor neighborhood, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place,” she said. “In San Leandro, I can be a big fish in a small pond.”

Berkowitz also noted that San Leandro is “hungry and ready” for more food options. “I implore people who own food businesses to try coming here,” she said. “It’s not potentially as sexy as Oakland, but people are so excited for the cafe and about any new business that comes to our area.”

She added that the San Leandro Business Development Center offers incentives for business owners, saying: “Maybe one day I’ll open a third one. We’ll have to see how this one goes first.”

Newark Library celebrates Lunar New Year 2026

● Lion dancers and taiko drummers join community event

By Roelle Balan

People gathered at Newark Library on Feb. 28 to celebrate Lunar New Year. This is the Year of the Fire Horse, a rare occurrence that only happens every 60 years. It signals intensity and forward momentum.

The event was organized by California State Senator Aisha Wahab and Newark City Councilmember Julie Del Catancio. This year, Lunar New Year lasts from Feb. 17 to March 3.

“We are here today because we’re celebrating not only Asians but community, and we’re celebrating ourselves and our community out here in Newark,” said Del Catancio, the first Asian American Newark councilmember, elected in 2024.

Wahab gave all the credit for the event to Del Catancio. “Julie has been a very strong advocate on making sure that Lunar New Year is actually celebrated, understood and we actually bring communities together.”

Newark has held an annual Lunar New Year celebration every year since 2020. Lunar New Year is celebrated by many Asian cultures, including Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Filipino people.

Multiple community organizations tabled during the event, including Viola Blythe Community Services, League of Volunteers and Assemblymember Alex Lee’s Office. There were also arts and crafts for kids and a performance from Wadaiko Taiko.

The event started with a mesmerizing lion dance. The two-member lion started the dance inside Newark Library,

then slithered into the community room where the organizations were tabling. This happened while a three-man band played traditional lion dance music.

The lion then performed outside in front of a crowd. Del Catancio held a cabbage up for the lion to “eat.” The lion then spat pieces of the cabbage out of its mouth, wowing the audience as if performing a magic trick. The lion then held a Lunar New Year sign up with its mouth.

A Union City resident attended the event and called it very festive. He said a lot of people were in attendance and the 75-degree weather was great.

Fremont resident Tarrah Henrie said she attended because her daughter is one of the Newark Wadaiko Taiko Drummers. “It’s really great that Newark is having a fun community event and that the attendance is so good…And it’s good to see the politicians here as well to support the event,” she said. “It’s really fun to see different parts of the community come out today.”

One member of Newark Wadaiko Taiko said the traditional drums started in Japan with solo drummers. The musicians then started playing the Taiko drums as a group in San Francisco in the late 1960s.

The Newark Wadaiko group has been active for 25 years. They performed several times at the event with high energy, chants and movements while playing the Wadaiko drums.

Assemblymember Lee gave a few words about the Year of the Fire Horse. “This is the year where young ones, adults and the seniors alike can set new ambitions, because this is the year where our ambitions are met, the fiery ambitions of the fire horse will guide you and gallop you towards any goal that you set your minds to.”

Niles district couple creates intimate memorial park

● Fremont ’s smallest memorial park honors three lives while offering a sanctuary space for the community

By Dhaeshna Booma

On the corner of Third and I Street in Niles sits what may be Fremont’s smallest park, just 250 square feet of carefully tended ground beneath towering trees. Here, a white bench and picnic table rest behind a picket fence, wind chimes singing softly in the breeze.

Passersby stop to rest, meditate or share a meal. What they may not know at first is that this peaceful spot exists because of profound loss.

Gloria and George Gates created this memorial park to honor Gloria’s three children, all of whom died young: Steven, murdered at age 19; Scott, lost to cancer in 1999 at age 34; and Nikki, who died of cancer in 2013 at age 49.

The park’s origin was humble. When George moved into Gloria’s Niles home 15 years ago, he brought with him a white cat and a white bench. Looking at their spacious corner lot, he saw potential.

“I thought that white bench would be a perfect spot to make a memorial bench,” George recalls. At the time, Gloria’s two sons had already passed. The couple installed the bench and dedicated it with a plaque bearing Steven and Scott’s names. After Nikki’s death, they added the picnic table in her memory.

“It’s developed over the years,” George explains. “It’s been a labor of love.”

What started as a simple gesture has become a living space that serves both family and community. The couple added a picket fence, wind chimes and memorial plaques on nearby trees. All three of Gloria’s children graduated from Newark Memorial High School, rooted in this same community.

For Gloria, the park offers more than remembrance. “When the wind chimes are blown by the wind and I hear the beautiful sound, I may believe it’s my daughter talking to me,” she says. “It’s like a concrete connection, more of a spiritual connection.”

The memorial has drawn unexpected visitors over the years. A couple from San Jose whose daughter took her own life returns annually to sit on what local children dubbed the “angel bench.” A young man once sat there strumming “Stairway to Heaven” on his guitar, unknowingly playing the same song from Steven’s funeral mass. Five seniors enjoyed

Ta pre-Christmas lunch at the picnic table, later returning with a poinsettia and thank-you card.

“It’s really a nice spot,” George says. “It helps Gloria, especially when she sees people sitting there and enjoying the quietness.”

The park is accessible and open yearround. During Niles’ popular annual antique fair, the benches provide seating for tired feet. Neighbors rest there after walking their dogs. Families take photos. A local family with a severely disabled daughter comes for picnics, appreciating the easy van access.

Each November, the Gates decorate the space for Día de los Muertos, keeping Steven, Nikki and Scott’s memories alive.

The couple takes regular evening walks, always ending at their memorial park. They sit together under the trees, watching neighbors pass by, sometimes sharing stories about the children who made this peaceful corner necessary.

The park’s truest meaning lies in what Gloria herself expressed: “I think it might be a reminder for people to appreciate their own children a little bit more, to know that we’re all on the earth for just a limited amount of time.”

In a quiet corner of Niles, beneath rustling leaves and singing wind chimes, that reminder endures.

he Sun Gallery is proud to announce the opening of the 35th Annual Children’s Book Illustrator’s Exhibition on Friday, March 13. An Artists Reception is planned on Saturday, March 21, from 12 to 3pm and will include children’s activities, face painting, food and beverages, book signings and the encore presentation of Sun Gallery’s Dreamers Installation, a part of the gallery’s permanent collection.

This year’s illustrators, authors and books include:

Patrick Lugo with Little Monk and the Mantis, Let’s Go: A Kids Comics Studio Anthology, David Hoobler with Zonk, the Dreaming Tortoise

Claudia Schwalm with Trees for the Monarch Butterflies, Penguins Can and Zack the Rabbit Who Didn’t Like Carrots

Julianne Kanzaki with Food For Thought: Simple Ways to Nourish Your Body and Soul

Helia Borges Sousa and Angela Simoes with A Portuguese Home and Maria and John go to the Festa!

Cameron Coetzer and Jan Renee with Mi Chango Favorito

Hilary Mills Lambert and Jana Haertl with Unlikely Friends Indeed

Constance Anderson with So Many Ways To Be a Bird

This year’s exhibit has been a labor of love, spearheaded by Valerie Caveglia, Hayward Education Foundation president (and former executive director at the Sun), and Dorsi Diaz, president of the Sun Gallery Board of Directors (and former executive director/curator at the Sun). Together, the community has come out with major support for a new pilot program at the gallery, “Many Hands, One Masterpiece,” which will lead to 19 HUSD Title I second grader classes coming to the gallery this year. Class field trips at the gallery include a personalized tour, plus a teacher-led art lesson in the studio, based on artwork in the show. To book a field trip for your classroom (grades TK to sixth grade) reach out to Linda at linda@sungallery.org. Field trips are available Monday to Friday from 9 to 11am. In-class field trips are also offered, subject to availability. An illustrator from the show can also be added to the tour at a special discounted rate.

BY GEORGIA NICOLS georgianicols.com

All Signs: This week begins with a strong energy that begins to fade a bit as the week wears on. Fortunately, evenings will be full of romantic opportunities and chances to socialize. Keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces, which is a curious combo because Mercury represents speech, logic and decisions; whereas Pisces is intuitive, imaginative and dreamy. However, this is the perfect week to extend an olive branch and be willing to forgive.

Aries the Ram (March 21-April 20):

This week you feel warm and friendly with everyone because you have a greater desire to talk to people. It’ s a particularly good time to make your peace with someone. Or you might act as a go-between for others who need to resolve issues. Get away on a vacation if you can because you’ll enjoy a change of scenery. Privately, you might start to notice your attention turning more inward because you’re going to give more thought to what you really want and need in your life. One thing is certain: It has to be on your own terms.

Taurus the Bull (April 21-May 20):

This is a friendly, sociable week. In part, this is because many of you are back in touch with old faces from the past— including colleagues and acquaintances from groups. Some of you are involved in a secret love affair, which isn’t surprising considering how passionate you are. Act on your impulse to go through closets, cupboards and garages to get rid of what you no longer need. Have you noticed that your plans for the future are getting more ambitious? You might learn new skills or study. Relations with siblings are mutually supportive.

Gemini the Twins (May 21-June 20):

Whether the energy begins strong or gets weaker this week is not a big deal for you. That’s because the Sun is at the top of your chart making everyone admire you. Be open to contact with parents, bosses and authority figures you haven’t seen for a while. (This is because Mercury retrograde is taking place at the top of your chart.) Meanwhile,

TRI-CITY STARGAZER

friendships, especially with artistic people, will be rewarding. You might also be in contact with someone of an age difference. Continue to look for ways to boost your income.

Cancer the Crab (June 21-July 21):

Do something to expand your world this week. You need adventure! Consider broadening your horizons through study, film and meeting new people. Metaphysical and spiritual concerns might interest you. Some of you will be more involved with the law. Whatever the case, you make a great impression on everyone because Venus is at the top of your chart now making others feel favorably inclined to you. You might give advice to someone about redecorating, design or something similar. Meanwhile, romance with someone of an age difference might occur.

Leo the Lion (July 22-August 22):

This week you can gear up to face dealing with taxes, debt, inheritances, shared property and red-tape details you’ve been putting off. The good news is that Mercury retrograde will actually help you to wrap up old business. You’ll be surprised at how easily it will flow. Meanwhile you want to travel for pleasure. At a deeper level, many of you are giving more thought to your inner world and your spiritual values. Maybe what you seek is not the right answer, but the right question?

Virgo the Virgin (August 23-September 22):

You’ll need more sleep this week because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it can get all year, and the Sun represents your energy. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is also opposite your sign attracting ex-partners, ex-spouses and old friends back into your world. This could lead to some interesting romantic involvements because fair Venus is in a passionate part of your chart encouraging romance and warm affection. This can also attract money. Meanwhile, this is a popular time for you. You’re also making ambitious goals.

Libra the Scales (September 23-October 22):

There’s a mixture of different influences this week, which will encourage you to work hard and be productive; but at the same time socialize with good friends, partners and spouses. In part, this is because Jupiter is high in your chart making you look successful and prosperous. Many of you will get a promotion at work or some kind of public recognition, which is personally rewarding and reassuring. This is also a good week to focus on your health in terms of exercise, diet and doing what’ s good for you.

Scorpio the Scorpion (October 23-November 21):

Take every advantage of socializing because this is a lovely, playful time.

Explore the arts and the entertainment world. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. Romantic opportunities are fabulous this week. Old flames are back in the picture, if not in person, then in your thoughts or your dreams. Nevertheless, this is also an excellent time to work. Coworkers will be supportive. You can boost your earnings as well as make your work place more attractive. Remember to explore opportunities in medicine, the law and publishing as well as travel.

Sagittarius the Archer (November 22-December 21):

Home, family and your private life continue to be your focus. Many of you are dealing with issues from the past, as well as a deeper involvement with family members and relatives. Some of you are also more active with a parent. Nevertheless, despite this strong private focus, you also have lots of energy to have fun. This week is also full of romantic opportunities. One of the reasons romance will flourish for you is you are relaxed about yourself. You feel there’s no need to pretend to be what you are not.

Capricorn the Goat (December 22-January 19):

This is a busy week because you have a more demanding schedule with appointments, errands and short trips as well as reading, writing and studying. Life is stimulating right now because you have opportunities to learn. New faces, new places and new ideas are thrilling. Don’t hesitate to entertain at home. Many of you are redecorating because you want your home to look more attractive. Partnerships continue to be rewarding. This is a solid week for you.

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

Money, cash flow and earnings are on your mind. However, you might think about your spending habits, especially how they impact your financial security. Some of you will decide to draw up a budget. You might give more thought to the degree to which your possessions reflect who you are. Because of this increased focus on the things you own, you will feel more powerful if you can organize everything better. Make sure that you know that you are the owner of your stuff and not the other way around.

Pisces the Fish (February 19-March 20): Your confidence and energy are stronger now because the Sun is in your sign. This means that you project yourself with more vigour and dazzle. In fact, you might want to change your appearance or wardrobe. Because your sign rules the feet, you do enjoy nice shoes and boots. Basically, you feel that this is a fresh start for you and you want to create a great impression on everyone. This is why you might buy pretty things for yourself as well as loved ones. Fortunately, you can also attract money to you.

Grab a pen and march forth

● Overcome writing hurdles at Zoom workshop

Submitted by Tish Davidson

March Forth! It’s a call to action, a call for change, a mandate to overcome obstacles. What obstacles keep you from reaching your writing goals? Worried you are not good enough to be a writer? Paralyzed by fear of rejection? Challenge those beliefs at the Fremont Area Writers Zoom Social Write-In on March 14.

This is an opportunity to respond spontaneously to one of several writing prompts in a judgment-free environment. You will meet a friendly community of local writers all of whom have experienced writing doubts and stumbling blocks. The Write-In is free and open to anyone who wants to write in any genre regardless of where you live or where you are on their writing journey.

At the Write-In, the computer randomly assigns four writers to each Zoom room. Writers are given several word or photo prompts. Choose one and write whatever comes to mind for about 10 minutes. At the end of the writing time, each person in the room reads their response to their chosen prompt. Because the writing time is short, there is no expectation that the result will be polished or even complete.

The Write-In is sponsored by Fremont Area Writers, a branch of the California Writers Club. FAW also meets on Zoom the fourth Saturday of each month where speakers address some aspect of writing or publishing. The March 28 speaker is Dr. Adrienne Danyelle Oliver who will present a participatory workshop on using the joy of poetry for wellbeing.

To participate in the Write-In or the general meeting, request the Zoom meeting link from Scott Davidson at scottfrombayside@yahoo.com. You do not need to live in Fremont to attend. More information is available at cwc-fremontareawriters.org.

SPORTS

Mission San Jose continues on historic winning streak

● The boys’ basketball team is on the road to state championship finals

By April Ramos

Mission San Jose’s basketball team has made history this season. The team proved its grit in regular season games as they overcame teams that they had lost to previously in the season including James Logan and Newark Memorial.

Once the Mission Warriors qualified for the Division IV North Coast Section playoffs, the team held onto that grit. With each game the team fought their way to a win with only a few points when battling Tamalpais, Jesse M. Bethel and San Marin High Schools.

The championship game on Feb. 27 was against Rohnert Park’s Rancho Cotate High School. Ending the first quarter at a seven-point deficit, the Warriors bounced back in the second quarter and finished the game with a 46-40 win.

On Thursday, March 5, the Mission San Jose boys’ basketball team got on the court once again to fight in the CIF Division V Championship Tournament.

After a bye-round, the Warriors went head on into the second round of the tournament against Oroville High School. With a home court advantage, the Fremont team had the bleachers filled with supporters.

From the jump ball, Mission sprang into action. With their strategic passes, they were able to find pockets out of the Oroville’s defense, seizing opportunities at the basket.

Not only was their offense strong, but in defensive plays, the Warriors dominated in the first two quarters, leaving the court buzzing with a 37-21 lead at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Warriors’ momentum slipped. With more pressure from Oroville, Mission was unable to complete plays or passes, allowing Oroville to inch closer to the Warriors. In the fourth quarter, with free throws for the Warriors, they were inched away from Oroville creating a safe cushion of points ending with a final score of 56-46. Thursday’s win sent them into the regional semifinals on Saturday,

March 7, against Weed High School. On Saturday, Mission San Jose fought for a secure start with a 22-9 in the first quarter from multiple three-pointer and free-throw opportunities.

In the second quarter, Weed began to complete more plays scoring 17 points while Mission trailed slightly behind at 14 but still leading on the scoreboard at halftime with 36-26.

Weed High School began to dominate in the third quarter making 22 points and ending with a lead of 48-45. In the final quarter the pressure was on both teams.

Mission worked overtime to keep Weed from overcoming the scoreboard and their defense prevailed, ending the game at 62-58.

With the win, Mission San Jose punched their ticket to the CIF Division V State Championship regional finals on Tuesday, March 10, on their home court against San Marin High School.

CORNERSTONES

MADELINE MENEZE

June 30, 1938 – February 21, 2026

Resident of Union City

Madeline Meneze passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026, at the age of 87, surrounded by her loving family. Madeline was born in San Jose, CA and was raised in the Decoto area of Union City. She attended Decoto Grammar School, Barnard White Middle School, Washington High School, and Heald Business College.

Madeline is predeceased in death by her parents, Phil and Josie Hernandez; and her sister, Jo “Cookie” Springer. She leaves behind her loving husband of 66 years, Edwin Meneze; her daughter, Stephanie Meneze Sonntag; granddaughter, Samantha; and grandson, Gavin.

Madeline and Edwin were married in 1960 and welcomed a daughter, Stephanie, in 1967. Madeline enjoyed being a loving supportive mother and was overjoyed to become a grandmother. She deeply valued the relationships she had with her daughter and grandchildren. She was dedicated to her daughter Stephanie’s basketball career and was always an avid Golden State Warriors fan. Madeline spent her many years of family life enjoying activities like travel, sports, cooking, entertaining, shopping, dancing, decorating, and gathering with lifelong friends.

In her decades long career as a professional Executive Assistant, Madeline defined the role as an integral part of any successful corporation, setting standards of excellence with skilled organization, integrity, enthusiasm, and experience. She worked for the City of Hayward, supported the Presidents and CEOs of Boise Cascade, Lake Wildwood, Boldeman/Blommer Chocolate, and Adecco (formerly Adia Personnel Services). After she retired from corporate life, she worked as a volunteer in the Our Lady of the Rosary Church office handling administrative duties such as organizing, planning and overseeing many years of festivals, luncheons, fundraisers, masses, and celebrations. She was a welcoming member of the OLR Ladies Guild and attended bible study class and mass regularly.

Madeline was the epitome of class and style. She enjoyed shopping for just the right clothing, accessories and fragrances for any occasion. She extended her elegant personal style to her home as well and adorned it for each holiday. Madeline especially loved Christmas. For her, Christmas was a time to celebrate beautifully with joy, family gatherings and lots of food.

Madeline was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, godmother, aunt, neighbor, and friend. She brought happiness to all who knew her and will be remembered for her laughter and willingness to share her joy. In Jesus’ name, we pray that she is welcomed into eternal peace and light by loved ones we have lost. Madeline will be deeply missed.

Our family would like to thank the Kaiser Fremont ER and ICU departments for their expert care and compassion during the difficulty of her sudden passing.

Memorial Mass will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 10:00am at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 703 “C” Street, Union City, with reception to follow in the church hall. Burial will be private.

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 bids are subject to California Civil Code 2924h and are sold “AS-IS”.

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 844693-4761 or visit this internet website www.awest.us, using the file number assigned to this case 25-015840 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 Website. 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 if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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.
