As economy
picks up, so does
city spending
Chip Car Key
$
A
fter a three-year hiatus,
spending on municipal projects and improvements is
back on the list of priorities for
the Pleasanton City Council. At
its June 4 meeting, the council approved a two-year work plan that
includes millions dollars of “high
priority” projects, ending an austere capital improvements program
that stopped after the $10 million
Firehouse Arts Center was built in
2010.
With the economy improving
and tax revenue picking up, the
council’s first project will be another phase of improvements to
the city-owned Bernal Community
Park, where $15 million lighted
baseball fields and an adjoining
children’s play area were added,
also in 2010. Now more will be
spent on sports fields, some lighted,
for soccer, lacrosse, junior football
and, yes, more baseball diamonds.
This time, the improvements, authorized as part of a voter referendum, will include a woodlands
area, riparian habitat and landscaping along a meandering creek that
runs through the site.
The project, when completed, will
cost an estimated $15.8 million with
part of the funding to come from a
Bernal Community Park Reserve
that the city government maintained
during the recession when sales and
property tax revenue tapered off.
Another $810,000 would be available from a Capital Improvement
Program reserve, also maintained
by the city. City Manager Nelson
Fialho said he expects to receive
another $3.2 million from the East
Bay Regional Park District through
funds approved by voters when
they passed the district’s Measure W
bond issue. That would still leave a
funding gap of more than $5 million which could be raised through
a combination of fee assessments for
users of the sports fields, contributions from sports organizations, corporate sponsors and a community
fundraiser similar to the one that
raised more than $1 million for the
Firehouse Arts Center.
Last year, the council approved
a schematic plan for the second
phase of the park which, 12 years
after the land was given to the city
by several developers in exchange
for permits to build homes on the
rest of the property, remains undeveloped except for the baseball
fields.

council’s 22-page list of priorities

is the redevelopment of senior living facilities at Kottinger Place and
Pleasanton Gardens with new buildings and more apartments. These
aging, subsidized, affordable homes
for qualified older residents will be
torn down in phases over the next
two years and replaced with larger,
upgraded apartment buildings that
will accommodate nearly twice as
many who live there now. The redevelopment proposal goes back 10
years and gained ground last year
as the economy improved. A predevelopment agreement has now been
granted to Foster City-based MidPeninsula Housing, the developer,
owner and manager of more than 90
senior communities.
MidPen, as the company is
called, has been meeting with the
Kottinger Place Redevelopment
Task Force to determine project
priorities. MidPen is now preparing a site plan for a new Kottinger
Place development between Kottinger Drive and Vineyard Avenue,
and including the aging Regalia
House that will also be razed. Current development estimates for the
two sites range from $59 million to
$62.8 million with a city contribution from its senior housing fund of
$8.2 million.
New housing on both sites will
be largely single story units with far
more kitchen, bathroom and closet
space than the units now have and
with upgrades in electricity and
plumbing, including air conditioning. Some of the buildings on what
is now the Kottinger Place site will
be two stories in height with a few
rising to three stories, with elevators.
When completed, the apartments
will accommodate 189 tenants.
Some projects are already under
way, including renovations at the
Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center, which should be completed
this summer, and the extension
of Stoneridge Drive to El Charro
Road, which should open late this
fall. N

Food Allergies?
1807 Santa Rita Rd, Pleasanton
Phone (925) 846-0660
www.truevalue.com/pleasanton
PLEASANTONWEEKLY.COM
Our website has
become the place
residents turn to
for breaking local
news, to post
their own stories
and photos, and
to discuss news
and events in the
community.
Food allergies, particularly in children, are clearly on the rise. According to Dr.
Hugh Sampson, a food allergy specialist at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in
N.Y. “We are certain that in the future the number of food allergies are going
to increase.”
Many food allergies are classified as “hidden” allergies due to the fact that
an individual may be consuming a food, often times on a daily basis that they
have no idea they are allergic to. Frequently, symptoms such as stomach
aches, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, indigestion, heartburn, excessive
gas and bloating are directly related to food allergies.
Additionally, conditions such as migraine headaches, chronic sinusitis, post
nasal drip, rashes, eczema, chronic fatigue, ADD/ADHD, mood swings and
difficulty losing weight in many cases can be caused by food allergies.
Fortunately, a new, advanced method of treating allergies is now available
in the United States. Developed over a ten year period in Australia, a new
technology called Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) is giving new hope
to millions of allergy sufferers.
AAT is a holistic, alternative method of treating allergies of all kinds including
not only food allergies, but airborne allergens such as pollens, grasses,
weeds, trees, molds, dust and dust mites as well as pet/animal/insect
allergies, chemical sensitivities and physical contactants. Both the testing
and treatments are 100% pain free and non-invasive, and is the ideal choice
for those who would prefer not to take drugs, use steroidal inhalers and sprays
or go through years of allergy shots. Children especially appreciate the AAT
approach over the traditional medical procedures that involve piercing the
skin. AAT is safe and effective for people of all ages including infants and
produces zero side effects.
AAT is now available in Pleasanton near Stoneridge Mall at Allergy Relief
Centers, office of James W. Stalker, DC. Doctor Stalker is offering the initial
consultation and complete testing protocol, normally a fee of $125, for only $25
for anyone who would like to experience relief from their allergies without using
drugs or shots. A limited number of appointments are available, so call 925243-7168 today. For more information please visit AllergyReliefCenters.

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m going to go geocaching with my dad; you know, that’s where you
go hiking with a GPS and all sorts of expensive equipment, trying to find hidden little
treasures, like keychains and plastic trinkets.
I don’t really understand his fascination with
this, but he really enjoys it, and I sure do love
my dad, so I’ll do it with a smile on my face.

BY GLENN WOHLTMANN
The city of Pleasanton is adopting new laws to
help protect pets, and to reduce the amount of
trash that goes to landfills.
The city is putting some teeth into laws
about leaving dogs in unattended vehicles. It’s
adapted state law that will allow an officer to
issue a citation to anyone who leaves a dog on
a hot car.
Animal Control Officer Kristen Hart said first
time fines are $100, but can go up to $750 on
a fourth offense.
Hart said the Police Department has a digital
thermometer that can read a temperature inside a car.
On a hot day, she said, dogs “can suffer
heat stroke and even die.” That’s not only in
summer. Hart said the inside temperature of
a car can be 30 degrees hotter than outdoors,
and since dogs cool themselves by panting, if
they’re locked in a car, they’ll be breathing in
warm air.
The new municipal code also protects animals if they’re locked outside on a hot day.
It says, in part, that owners need to keep pets
from conditions that “endanger the health or
well-being of the animal due to heat, cold, lack
of proper and adequate shelter and protection
from the elements, lack of adequate ventilation,
or lack of food or water, or other circumstances

programming remains unaffected, and evening exercise classes
are continuing as scheduled.
Work on the main hall includes resurfacing the floor, and
other cleaning and maintenance
projects.

Rotary Club’s 20th annual
Father’s Day Spirit Run set for Sunday
Popular family event raises money for scholarships
BY JEB BING
More than 1,500 runners are expected to
be downtown Sunday for the 20th annual
Father’s Day Spirit Run, hosted by the Rotary
Club of Pleasanton.
Main Street will be closed from 5 a.m. until
about 11 a.m. between Del Valle Parkway and
Neal Street to accommodate the runners.
The Rotary Father’s Day tradition has continued to grow as runners, their children and
families participate in either a 10K run or 5K
walk or run, as well as Kids’ Challenge races.
The 10K run will start promptly at 8 a.m.
under the Pleasanton Arch, followed by the
5K run at 8:20. The courses wind through
Pleasanton neighborhoods, the Alameda
County Fairgrounds and on trails along the
Arroyo del Valle.
Traffic also will be slowed by partial lane
closures along the race courses, affecting part
of Valley Avenue, Paseo Santa Cruz, Del Valle
Parkway, Division Street and St. Mary Street
between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.
Three separate Kid’s Challenge Races, for
children ages 2-8, include a number of 100yard dashes on Main Street, finishing right
underneath the Arch.
Trophies will go to the top male and female
finishers in designated age groups.
Registration will take place in the Round
Table Pizza parking lot starting at 7 a.m. Sunday. Fees are $40 for adults and high school
students; $30 for those in elementary and
middle school; $15 for ages 2-8 in the Kid’s
Challenge, and $30 each for families of four
or more.
Proceeds will go to support the Rotary Club
of Pleasanton’s scholarship program as well as
Hope Hospice, Rotaplast, Tri-Valley YMCA,
Valley Humane Society and victims of the
Boston Marathon tragedy.
Beautiful etched-glass trophies will be
awarded to the top male and female finishers,
as well as the first-place male and female Masters (over 50 years old) winners. In addition,
medals are given in designated age groups
for both male and female participants. Each
child participating in the Kids’ Challenge will
receive a finisher ribbon.
Check-in and race-day registration opens at
6:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the now-closed
Round Table Pizza restaurant on Main Street.

Hart says people aren’t hesitant to call police if they see an animal locked in a car, and
that some days, she gets as many as three calls
about the issue, mostly regarding cars parked
at the mall or downtown.
“It’s a hot topic. A lot of people get heated
over it,” she said.

Fair opens
Wednesday
BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
Spend $1 to attend the Alameda County Fair
on opening day plus $1 for rides — which leaves
money to spend on corn dogs, turkey legs and funnel cake. The Fair, in its 101st year, opens Wednesday and runs through July 7.
“Summer Fun Starts Here” is the theme of this
year’s Fair. As always, it offers unique deep-fried
edibles, such as Pop Tarts, pineapple upside down
cake, watermelon and cookie dough. Food on a
stick includes macaroni and cheese, peanut butter
and jelly and Doritos.
Some healthy foods are fresh salads, fish tacos,
shrimp cocktail, fish ceviche, grilled veggies and
fresh fruit.
The Fair offers much more than food. The colorful thrills of the carnival are a big draw, as are the
live thoroughbred racing, nightly free concerts and
the fireworks being held Fridays. Also popular are
the agricultural and competitive live stock exhibits,
ethnic and cultural days, home art and technological competitions .
The Fair features contests galore, with a Diaper
Derby at 11 a.m. July 5; the Battle of the Local
Bands, noon-5:30 p.m. June 28; the Hot Dog Eating Chili Relay Contest at 11:30 a.m. July 4; and
the Kissing Contest on June 29 — contestants
must show up by 5:45 p.m. and the kissing starts
at 6 p.m. exactly. For a complete list, go to www.
AlamedaCountyFair.com.
Last year’s Fair drew 534,577, and officials expect
even more this year. Let the summer fun begin. N

Woman killed while bicycling remembered
as animal lover, doting grandmother
Pair charged after dog
attacks child twice
Police: investigation continues, several witnesses have been in contact
Injured 5-year-old in protective custody
BY GLENN WOHLTMANN
The daughter of a Dublin woman killed while bicycling on Foothill Road on Sunday said the driver who
struck her mother has “broken my family.”
“The world is a darker place without her,” said
Heather Grimm, 30.
Diana Hersevoort, 58, and her husband were riding
north on Foothill Road, near Golden Eagle Way, at
about 1 p.m. when the two were hit by a car, according to police. Hersevoort was thrown from her bicycle
and pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband Joe
was taken to a hospital where he was treated for minor
injuries and released.
The car, a 2004 silver Dodge Neon, was driven by
an 18-year-old Pleasanton man who was also heading north, police said. The 18-year-old stopped at the
scene and answered police questions but did not give
a statement, police Sgt. Robert Leong said.
The driver has not been arrested, and the cause of
the collision is under investigation.
Leong said preliminary information indicates that
Hersevoort and her husband were riding single-file in
the bike lane on the side of the roadway when they
were hit.
He said several witnesses have contacted police.
“If we have enough to pursue a charge we will
forward it” to the Alameda County District Attorney’s
Office, Leong said.
Grimm described her mother Tuesday as an animal
lover and a “bright, loving person.”
Her father sustained a broken leg.
“Physically, he’s OK,” Grimm said in a phone interview Tuesday from her family’s home in Dublin.
She said she hopes the police investigation continues
and that the 18-year-old is prosecuted. Grimm said it
would help bring closure to the family.
“But anything that can be done now will not benefit
my mother,” she said. “What was taken cannot be replaced.”
The bicycle ride was a weekly tradition of the couple, who rode together in various parts of the Tri-Valley region, Grimm said.
They had been together
for 35 years.
She said a private celebration of Hersevoort’s
life is being planned
— and will take place
outdoors because her
mother loved nature.
“She was a lover of
animals and flowers,”
Grimm said.
Hersevoort was also a
fan of tie-dyed clothing, Diana Hersevoort
something Grimm hopes
people will wear to her memorial. No date has been
set.
She was a stay-at-home mom to Grimm and her older
sister and was a proud grandmother to Grimm’s 7-yearold son and 2-year-old daughter, Grimm said.
Grimm said her mother loved animals, and that
growing up, their house was a “zoo” with many cats
and dogs. The couple still has two cats and three dogs
at their Dublin home.
Grimm said the local community and her extended
family are providing support.
A high school friend of her mother’s stopped by
with five bags of groceries after the accident, she
said. N
A Pleasanton man and a Dublin woman have been charged
with felony child neglect and
endangerment after the man’s
dog attacked the woman’s
5-year-old son twice in less
than three months.
Dog owner Marc Kornberg,
36, and the boy’s mother,
Myrvete Lila, 27, were arrested
June 7 on felony warrants from
the District Attorney’s Office.
A police investigation determined the attack was the second on the boy. After the first
attack, on March 6, the dog was
placed on home quarantine and
released when there were no
other incidents of violence. The
boy was treated and released
from a local hospital.
In the second attack, on May
19, Pleasanton police officers
accompanied an emergency
medical crew to Kornberg’s
Bernal Avenue apartment for a
reported dog bite where they
found the boy with multiple
facial injuries.
Both attacks were at Kornberg’s home and in both, the
boy suffered facial injuries from
the dog, “Boston,” a 6-year-old,
96-pound Presa Canario. The
breed has been known at times
to be aggressive.
“As a result of the second dog
bite, and the fact that in both
cases the boy was left alone
in a room with the dog, our
investigation was sent to the
Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for review, Lt. Jeff
Bretzing said in a news release.
“The District Attorney’s Office
issued felony warrants for both
Kornberg and Myrvete.”
The city stepped in after the
second attack on the boy. On
May 28, a public dog hearing was held and the dog was
found to be vicious. Boston
was ordered to be relocated to
a rehabilitation and training facility in Ohio. The other option
would have been to euthanize
the dog, but Kornberg chose to
send the dog away.
The boy’s name is not being
released. He was placed in protective custody with Alameda
County Child Protective Services.

ceremony. The 85-year-old beacon
atop Mount Diablo is lit every Dec.
7, and its light must be pushed
by hand to begin rotation for the
ceremony.
While retired ranger Burt Bogardus made sure the beacon worked
each year, proper care and maintenance have not been done.
“This is the first step in being
able to actually begin restoration
work on the beacon so it will be
restored for the Dec. 7 lighting,”
said Save Mount Diablo spokeswoman Beryl Anderson. “It may
be the last couple of years that we
have our local Pearl Harbor survivors around to turn the light on
in commemoration of their fallen
comrades.”
Windy conditions at the Mount
Diablo peak Tuesday almost
stopped the lift-off, but crews
managed to remove the beacon
and get it down the mountain in
about 45 minutes, as Pearl Harbor
survivors and park rangers looked
on.
A giant crane lifted the 1,500
pound beacon from its perch and
transported it to a state-approved
shop in Concord for remediation
of lead and asbestos as well as a
cracked front lens. The bearings
at the base of the beacon have
never been serviced, and electrical connections and wiring will be
renewed or repaired.

Hart said the reason for the
new codes is that the courts
are so backed up with crimes
against people that they don’t
have time to consider animal
cases. With the new codes in
place, however, when someone
has a documented past of not
caring for a pet — meaning
someone who has had multiple citations issued — the
Police Department can ask the
District Attorney’s Office to file
animal abuse charges.
Although it’s unnecessary
for most pet owners, the new
codes also require owners to
provide a proper diet, too.
That new code section reads,
“The food shall be wholesome,

That new law was put in
place to get rid of Styrofoam

Former Pleasanton student dead
in Marin County homicide
TAKE US ALONG
Body found at at Point Reyes National Seashore
A former student at two Pleasanton high schools was identified as
the victim of a homicide discovered
June 6 at Point Reyes National Seashore in rural west Marin County.
The body of Trisha Hopfe, 31,
was found by a hiker near Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in the area of
Platform Bridge Road around 9:45
a.m. She had not been reported
missing.
The National Park Service asked
the Marin County Sheriff’s Office
to investigate the death, sheriff’s
Lt. Jamie Scardina said. According
to reports, Hopfe showed signs of
physical injury, although the sheriff’s office said
she had not
been shot.
Results from
an autopsy performed June 7
have not been
released and
toxicology reTRISHA HOPFE
sults are pending. Hopfe was
identified by fingerprints.
The sheriff’s office is interview-
ing witnesses to determine a motive, and there is no suspect or
suspect description at this time,
Scardina said.
Hopfe attended Amador Valley
and Village high schools. She also
lived in San Ramon and Hayward.
She is survived by two children,
her parents and three siblings; her
father was a Hayward police officer.
Anyone with information is
asked to call the sheriff’s office at
(415) 473-7265.

San Ramon senior first-ever recipient
of DSRSD scholarship
Ironman: Mark Doehle poses at the finish line of the famous Ironman race in
Taupo, New Zealand, after completing the world-renowned competition, with
wife Lisa Nava, step-daughter Carmen Nava, and a little bit of home.
$2,000 grant from public agency concerns some
BY GLENN WOHLTMANN
A graduating senior at Dougherty
Valley High School in San Ramon is
the first recipient of the $2,000
Dublin San Ramon Services District
James B. Kohnen Scholarship.
Justin Salomon Tran recently
received his award at a Dublin
San Ramon Services District Board
meeting. Tran plans to study geophysics at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
He has been a member of the
National Honor Society since
2011, a camp counselor at Walker Creek Outdoor School since
2011, captain of the football and
track and field teams ,and vice
president of the Gardening Club
at Dougherty Valley high.
The $2,000 scholarship is a
drop in the bucket for the district,
which has an annual operating
budget of $53 million, but the
move by a public agency to create a scholarship has raised the
eyebrows of some.
The money comes from the
administrative budget for the
DSRSD, according to spokeswoman Sue Stephenson.
“That means the money comes

from ratepayer and capacity fees,”
Stephenson said. “We used to call
that a connection fee.”
Capacity fees are paid by developers as they tap into DSRSD
water or sewer services.
“The purpose of the scholarship — the primary purpose — is
to honor James Kohnen for all his
public service,” Stephenson said.
“The secondary purpose for the
scholarship is to inspire young
people to follow (Kohnen) in his
service. Nobody thinks about
wanting to grow up to be an
environmentalist. This is a little
opportunity to get high school
kids to think about us when they
embark upon a career path.”
Kohnen, a former member of
the DSRSD Board of Directors,
died last year. He devoted many
years of his life to managing and
protecting the public water supply.
As a member of the DSRSD
Board of Directors from 1992 to
2000, Kohnen was instrumental
in developing water service for
the Dougherty Valley. He also
helped expand the use of bring
recycled water in the Tri-Valley,
along with helping expand water,
waste water and recycled water
services to east Dublin and expanding the Regional Wastewater
Treatment Facility.
Kohnen served on the boards
of the Zone 7 Water Agency, the
Alameda County Special Districts
Association, the American Society
for Quality, the Alameda County
Mosquito Abatement District, and
the California Special Districts
Association.
The idea of a scholarship in
Kohnen’s name started with a
board member. While others have
had benches or facilities named
after them, board member Mary
Gordon said the tribute should
be education-related, in keeping
with Kohnen who was a lifelong
learner.
“When staff took it to the board,
they suggested a $1,000 scholarship and the board said, ‘No, let’s
make it $2,000 to take a little bit
of the bite out of the cost of college,’” Stephenson said.
Tran was the solo applicant for
the scholarship, but Stephenson
said based on his qualifications,
he would have won anyway. N

Raley’s warns customers of cyber attack
CEO: ‘We are working around the clock to gather details’
BY GLENN WOHLTMANN
Raley’s is warning of a cyber attack
that targeted its computer network
and may have allowed access to
credit and debit card information.
On its website the company,
which includes Raley’s, Nob Hill,
Food Source stores and Aisle One
fuel stations, the firm called the attack “complex,” and said it is trying
to determine if customer data has
been compromised.
“At this time, the company has
not confirmed any unauthorized
access to payment card data, but
its investigation remains ongoing,” a statement on the company’s website says. “Raley’s does
not believe that debit PINs could
have been accessed.”
The company has taken “a series
of immediate steps” to enhance
security measures already in place
to protect customer data, and says
“customers can continue using
their payment cards in its stores.”
The website notes that the company does not collect Social Security or driver’s license numbers,
and issued a list of steps customers
should take:
UÊ …iVŽÊ >˜`Ê “œ˜ˆÌœÀÊ ÞœÕÀÊ L>˜ŽÊ

held responsible for fraudulent
charges made by unauthorized parties if reported promptly to the card
issuer.
Raley’s has a response team to
answer customer questions and
will provide customers updates as
they become available.
“We are working around the
clock to gather details to determine
the extent of any possible compromise of customer information,” a
statement from Raley’s President
and CEO Mike Teel said.
Customers can reach Raley’s response team from 7 a.m. to 10

PP arguments much the same
M
uch has been written about California’s controversial
high-speed rail system, a proposed $68 billion project
that Gov. Jerry Brown but not many others are pushing
to carry riders between Sacramento and Southern California at
breakneck speeds. At one time, the rail line was planned to go
through Livermore and Pleasanton to San Francisco but protests
by both cities nixed that plan. Later, the routing was changed to a
South Bay route from its main line in the Central Valley, a routing
that has been challenged by Palo Alto and other Peninsula cities.
Now the Pleasanton
connection is back with
a lawsuit filed by Stuart
Flashman, one of two
attorneys representing
Kings County plaintiffs
who contend that plans
to start building the rail
line are not following
the financing and enCALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY
vironmental approvals Artist’s sketch of bullet train similar to type proCalifornia voters ap- posed for California’s high-speed rail system.
proved in a $10 billion
bond under Proposition 1A in 2008 that was to provide kick-start
funds. Central Valley farmers and local officials, represented by
Flashman, claim the rail system could lead to financial disaster. For
now, the project has been stopped pending the court’s decision.
Coincidentally, Flashman is the same Oakland attorney whose
threat of a lawsuit against the city of Pleasanton has also temporarily
stopped further consideration by the City Council of Measure PP, a
hillside protection ordinance that, like Prop. 1A, was also approved
by voters in 2008. And like the high-speed rail project, Measure
PP is now languishing as Flashman and another attorney, Kristina
Lawson of the San Francisco law firm of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips,
decide whether to move forward on a suit contesting the legality of
changes made to Measure PP since the public vote.
Flashman may have a point when it comes to “tinkering”
with Measure PP by planners and council members, but joint
discussions may dissuade the lawyers from filing a costly and
time-consuming suit. But Flashman is clearly on the mark with
his legal argument against the high speed rail system. In the
suit, Kings County plaintiffs accuse the state of failing to have all
the financing end environmental approvals for the initial phase
in place before construction starts, which is planned for this
summer. Without them, the state could end up with a train to
nowhere, with farmers and others forced to sell their land to the
California High-Speed Rail Authority for no good reason. Flashman argues that taxpayers could be funding a project that would
end up leaving the state with 130 miles of rail that’s unusable for
anything except maybe to carry Amtrak trains a short distance.
Flashman and other attorneys involved in the court case are
convinced that a financing plan delivered to the state Legislature
in November 2011 fails to live up to Prop. 1A. They’ve asked
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny to rule
that the Legislature’s approval of money to begin construction
is invalid and halt construction. The Sacramento Bee reports,
however, that lawyers with the state Attorney General’s office,
representing the rail authority, argue that the funding plan is
legal. Just because the plaintiffs in the lawsuit are not satisfied
is no reason to order a costly and time-consuming do-over. This
sounds much like what the Pleasanton council and Measure PP
advocates are saying about Flashman’s threat of a lawsuit here.
The Sacramento judge has 90 days to render a decision on the rail
authority suit. The Pleasanton council, also faced with Flashman’s
legal threat, has tabled its consideration of the issue indefinitely. N

Margaret “Peggy” Jean Karn
Jan. 22, 1929-May 21, 2013
Margaret J. “Peggy” Karn died May 21,
2013 in ValleyCare Hospital after a courageous 10-year battle with multiple system
atrophy, a rare and debilitating disease.
She was 84. She was born Jan. 22, 1929
in Oakland to Mary Celeste and Americus
P. Britto. She grew up in Oakland and
graduated from Fremont High School.
When she was a sophomore at Fremont
High, she met Richard
Karn, who became
the love of her life.
They attended Dick’s
Senior Ball together
before he graduated
and joined the Navy.
They were married
before Dick’s senior
year at the University
of California, Berkeley and she worked to
put him through his final year. She raised
their daughter, Pam, and their son, Bob,
while they lived in Castro Valley and later
Hayward. Dick established his own civil
engineering firm in 1966. While living in
Hayward, they were members of Hayward
Dance Club and enjoyed quarterly dances
to big band music. She was an active
volunteer with the Almond Branch of the
Children’s Hospital Auxiliary and enjoyed
modeling in their fundraising fashion
shows. They moved to Pleasanton 26 years
ago. She was a member of Centerpointe
Presbyterian Church (formerly Pleasanton
Presbyterian) and served on the board of
elders. Peggy also was an active member
of PEO for more than 25 years. Peggy, a
beautiful, creative, loving wife and mother
was always there with a smile and a kiss.
She was a vivacious woman with a great
sense of humor who took delight in making people laugh. She was a person with
firm convictions who was willing to speak
up when the situation required it. Peggy
loved to work with colors and established
an interior design business with a number
of clients. She used her design skills in
Dick’s engineering offices as well as guiding
the updating of Pleasanton Presbyterian
Church’s former Mirador Drive site. She
was also an accomplished artist in oils.
She and Dick travelled widely, touring
most of the world, often with professional
engineering societies. Dick was involved in
leadership of these groups and she joined
him on business travel. Her favorite destination was Italy, although she enjoyed some
memorable trips to Africa, Russia and other
European and Asian countries. They routinely spent the month of February in Baja
California. She is survived by her husband
of 64 years, Richard Karn, her daughter
Pam Karn of Oakland, her son, Bob, and
loving daughter-in-law Diane, of Vacaville,
her sister Gloria Hotton of Franklin, WI.,
and grandchildren Shawn, Matthew, Rachelle, Lisa and Tom and her great-grandson Wesley. She also leaves a large extended
family who she greatly valued, including her
care-giver for 2 ½ years, Rose Fernandez.
A memorial service celebrating her life
will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, June 28 at
Centerpointe Presbyterian Church, 3410
Cornerstone Court, Pleasanton.
The family prefers gifts in her memory
to Brain Support Network at P.O. Box
7264, Menlo Park, CA 94026 in support
of research on Multiple System Atrophy or
Hope Hospice at 6377 Clark Ave., Dublin,
CA 94568.

Saying it all in six words
Fifth-graders meet the challenge
of writing ultra-brief memoirs
BY DOLORES FOX CIARDELLI
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Sarah Landis’ fifth-graders at Valley View Elementary found their assignment to write six-word memoirs difficult but they
liked the results and called them meaningful. Volunteer parents created a memoir wall for the classroom.
Nothing brings out the power of
words like limiting them.
To that end Sarah Landis gave
her fifth-grade class at Valley View
Elementary the assignment of
drafting six-word memoirs as they
finished up their school year —
and elementary school.
“They were actually hard because you had to put a lot of
thought into it — we had to describe our whole life in only six
words,” said class member Ben.
“We discussed the meaning of
the word ‘memoir,’ and I shared
why this style of writing is so valuable,” said Landis. “We discussed
how word choice matters, and telling our life story in only six words
was a real challenge.”
“You could have heard a pin
drop as students drafted and draft-
ed, selecting just the right words
and checking to see that their
memoir was meaningful and personal,” she added.
“It seemed like it was gonna be
so easy because I only had to write
six words. Then I got started. It
was hard!” said Ryan.
As they worked, most of the
students came up with several versions.
“We eventually asked the students to select one, only one, to
display on a word wall for others
to enjoy,” Landis said.
They met with their writing
partners and selected the memoirs
that best suited themselves.
Sarah explained that the assignment was hard for two reasons —
“word choice and then choosing
just one to publish.”
Parent volunteers Johanna Prevost and Carolyn Crosby took the
Page 14ÊUÊJune 14, 2013ÊUÊPleasanton Weekly
selected memoirs home, printed
them onto black, and created a
memoir wall.
“The results are stunning,” Landis said. “Their messages are powerful! Parents were in awe! And
my students even impressed themselves.”
Some of the six-word memoirs
were:
“Don’t be afraid to be kind.”
“My walls crumble. My heart
grows.”
“Walk like you’re wearing a
crown.”
“Dig deep. You will find me.”
“I can only break my wall.”
“Be strong and give back happiness.”
The students were pleased with
the results of the assignment.
“I liked how different each one
was,” Sophia said.
“I liked them because they were
meaningful,” her classmate Courtney added.
“It was a treat, a real treat, to
see just how words can impact
ourselves and others,” Landis said.
“The most important take away
from this lesson was that students
could really visualize how powerful our words are.” N

Calling all triathletes, including beginners
Guide
Shadow Cliffs event has been tri-ing for 26 years
Shadow Cliffs park will be
swarming tomorrow with close to
800 runners, swimmers and bikers as they kick off On Your Mark
Events’ 26th annual Tri For Fun
Triathlon Series.
The series continues through
the summer, with additional Tri
For Fun events taking place July
20 and Aug. 17 and culminating
with a Tri for Real triathlon Sept.
15.
The Tri For Fun course features
a 400-yard swim in Shadow Cliffs
Lake, an 11-mile bike ride on flat
streets, and a 3.1-mile run on a
rolling fire trail. This adds up to
a shorter distance than used in
competitive events.
“Providing a fantastic experience for all participants is truly
our main goal with the Tri For
Fun,” said event co-principal Mark
Aiton. “There are now literally
thousands of people who cut their
triathlon teeth with the Tri For
Fun, and they keep coming back,
as well as take part with our other
longer-distance triathlons.”
Tri For Fun is an excellent event
for first-time triathletes, noted the
organizers, adding that it’s not unusual to see a 9-year old running
alongside a 78-year old.
Throughout the series, at least
60% of all the participants will be
beginners, Aiton said.
After novice athletes hone their
skills at the first three Tri For Funs,
they can meet the challenge of the
final event — the Tri For Real —
which is held at the same location,
but with distances increased to
a 700-yard swim, a 20-mile bike
ride, and a 4-mile run. The Tri For
Real is also professionally timed
and gives out official results.
Many veteran triathletes say the
Tri For Fun short course is a good
way to sharpen their racing and
transition techniques, Aiton said.
This group is always sent out in the
first wave, so they can jump way
ahead of the less experienced.
For the past 25 years, the Tri
For Fun triathlons have been nontimed and non-competitive, although a clock was at the finish
line for participants to view their
personal time. For the first time
this year, triathletes can choose
whether or not to be officially
timed, with results posted on the
results page at onyourmarkevents.
com.
Check-in and registration will
begin at 5 a.m., with the first
wave hitting the water at 7 a.m. at
Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation
Area, 2500 Stanley Blvd., Pleasanton. There is a 1,000-participant
maximum for each triathlon.
Entry fee for the three Tri For
Funs is $65 (non-timed) and $73
(chip timed) in advance; $10 will
be added to race-day registrants.
Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt, refreshments,
snacks and entry into a drawing.
For September’s Tri For Real, the
fee is $75 in advance, and $85 the
day of the race.

OPEN HOME GUIDE AND REAL ESTATE LISTINGS
Homes sales, prices up slightly
Median price in West was $263,600, up 17.5% from year ago
BY JEB BING
Existing-home sales across the country
rose in April but remained below underlying
demand because of limited inventory and
tight credit, according to the National Association of Realtors.
All regions showed strong price gains from
a year ago.
Total existing home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family
homes, town homes, condominiums and coops, increased 0.6% to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 4.97 million in April from
an upwardly revised 4.94 million in March.
Resale activity was 9.7% above the 4.53
million-unit level in April 2012.
Lawrence Young, NAR chief economist,
said the market is solidly recovering.
“The robust housing market recovery is
occurring in spite of tight access to credit and
limited inventory,” he said. “Without these
frictions, existing-home sales easily would
be well above the 5-million unit pace. Buyer
traffic was 31% stronger than a year ago, but
sales were running only about 10% higher. It’s
become quite clear that the only way to tame
price growth to a manageable, healthy pace is
higher levels of new home construction.”
Existing-home sales in April were at the
highest pace since November 2009 when the
market spiked to 5.44 million in response to
the home buyer tax credit.
Total sales have been above year-ago lev-
els for 22 consecutive months, while prices
show 14 consecutive months of year-overyear price increases.
Total housing inventory at the end of April
rose 11.9%, a seasonal increase to 2.16 million
existing homes available for sale, which represented a 5.2-month supply at the current sales
pace, compared with 4.7 months in March.
Listed inventory was 13.6% below a year
ago, when there was a 6.6-month supply,
with current availability tighter in the lower
price ranges.
The national median existing-home price
for all housing types was $192,800 in April,
up 11.0% from April 2012. The last time
there were 14 consecutive months of yearover-year price increases was from April
2005 to May 2006.
Distressed homes (foreclosures and short
sales) accounted for 18% of April sales, down
from 21% in March and 28% in April 2012.
Eleven percent of April sales were foreclosures, and 7% were short sales. Foreclosures
sold for an average discount of 16% below
market value in April, while short sales were
discounted 14%.
According to Freddie Mac, the national
average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.45%
in April from 3.57% in March; it was 3.91%
in April 2012.

The median time on market for all homes
was 46 days in April, down sharply from 62
days in March, and was 45% faster than the
83 days on market in April 2012.
NAR President Gary Thomas, broker-owner of Evergreen Realty in Villa Park, Calif.,
said market conditions have flipped in the
past year.
“With homes selling in half the time it
took to sell a year ago, buyers must be both
decisive and prudent,” he said. “Advice with
contract terms and negotiations is where the
expertise of a Realtor shines for both buyers
and sellers.”
Short sales were on the market for a median of 73 days, while foreclosures typically
sold in 43 days and non-distressed homes
took 44 days. Forty-four percent of all homes
sold in April were on the market for less than
a month, while only 8% were on the market
for a year or longer.
First-time buyers accounted for 29% of
purchases in April, compared with 30% in
March and 35% in April 2012. All-cash sales
were at 32% of transactions in April, up
from 30% in March; they were 29% in April
2012. Individual investors, who account for
most cash sales, purchased 19% of all homes
in April, unchanged from March; they were
20% in April 2012.
Single-family home sales rose 1.2% to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.38 million in April from 4.33 million in March, and
are 9.0% above the 4.02 million-unit level
in April 2012. The median existing singlefamily home price nationally was $193,300
in April, which is 11.0% above a year ago. N
