Passage
of utility tax buoys Hayward police, fire
officials
By: Eric
Kurhi
May, 21,
2009 - HAYWARD — Voters won gratitude from city
budgeteers, police and fire officials Wednesday, one day
after they approved a utility tax to maintain public
safety services.
The final tally showed 53
percent of Hayward voters supported Measure A. The 5.5
percent tax on electricity, natural gas, telephone and
cable bills for both residents and businesses is
projected to generate about $13 million annually and
close a projected $10 million to $12 million budget
deficit next year.
Top city officials said
they saw it as a sign of the public's support for the
police and fire departments.
"It's a pretty reassuring
indication that we're moving in the right direction,"
police Chief Ron Ace said. "With the economy the way it
is, it's a tough thing to ask people to increase their
taxes. We're grateful to be getting the community
support."
"It was do-or-die time for
the city," fire Chief Craig Bueno said, adding that at
least one fire station would have been shuttered had
Measure A failed.
However, with five of six
state propositions failing, both Ace and Bueno said
their departments can't be considered out of the danger
zone.
According to Assistant
City Manager Fran David, there are still "lots of
nuances" on how state borrowing will affect Hayward's
coffers, but educated guesses put the amount at around
$4 million.
She said it was too early
to tell exactly where the cuts would come
from.
"Residents
can be assured that the council has made a
strong commitment to (preserving public safety
positions), but as the economy continues to take hits, I
don't think anything can be considered safe," she said.
David said the city manager will hold a
work session on the budget next Tuesday, and come before
the council with a proposal the following
week.
The utility tax will take effect July 1.
Because of varying residential usage, there is a wide
range of how much each household will pay. Some
organizations that use a lot of services will be hit
fairly hard. For example, St. Rose Hospital will pay an
extra $75,000 to $100,000 annually. And it will affect
the Hayward Unified School District budget by $150,000 a
year, district spokeswoman Val Joyner said.
The tax was passed largely by voters
filing absentee ballots: Out of 11,683 votes cast,
7,919, or about 68 percent, had been mailed in. That's
slightly higher than the Alameda County tally of 65
percent absentee votes. Measure A needed a simple
majority to pass.
Money collected from the tax also will
sustain library and youth programs, and city
maintenance.
The city went through rounds of cuts in
the past year that have included a two-week furlough for
city employees, a consolidation of departments and the
elimination of 50 positions. In addition, police and
fire unions agreed to forgo contractual raises for three
years.
Protelica Awarded Phase II SBIR Grant by the
National Science Foundation
January 19, 2009 -
Protelica (formerly known as ProtElix, Inc.) is pleased
to announce that it has received formal notification of
Phase II SBIR funding by the National Science Foundation
for its scientific project entitled "Bioinformatics
knowledge-based, universal library design for a
non-immunoglobulin, protein-scaffold." The grant,
effective January 15, 2009 provides $500,000 for the

HAYASHI LEGISLATION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM
INSURANCE POLICY-RESCISSION
California Political Desk January 13,
2009(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi
(D-Hayward) introduced legislation to prevent health
plans and insurers from canceling a health insurance
policy 18 months after the policy was issued. The bill
also requires health plans and insurers to use a
standard, uniform application for health coverage.
"This legislation protects consumers from having
their health insurance taken away when they need it
most,´´ said Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi.
Rescission is when an insurer retroactively
cancels a consumer´s policy. In recent years, the press
and courts have exposed how insurers will rescind or
cancel a consumer´s policy after an expensive claim has
been submitted. Rescission hits consumers at the worst
possible time: when they are receiving treatment for
serious medical problems. Suddenly, patients find
themselves uninsured. They are also left with tens of
thousands of dollars in medical bills for treatments
they have already received and believed had been
covered.
In addition to establishing a cut-off date for
cancellation, Assembly Bill 108 also requires the use of
a standard health questionnaire when consumers apply for
health insurance, replacing the various applications and
differing questions that insurers currently use. The
standard questionnaire will be developed by the State
Department of Managed Care.
"We need to take the guess
work out of applying for health insurance," Hayashi
said. "A standard application provides another tool to
protect consumers."
Dr. Roberto Crea:
Creating with life's building blocks
After fate leads a young
man from Calabria to study biochemistry, he earns a
doctorate and joins a team of scientists in the United
States, where he makes a crucial contribution to a major
medical breakthrough.
When he first arrived in
the United States in 1977, Roberto Crea did not exactly
cut an impressive figure, much less that of a man who
was about to make one of the most significant
discoveries in the history of science.
"I put my life in two
suitcases," he recalls, "crossed the ocean and arrived
in California with a very, very slight idea of what was
going to happen next. When I got to the airport in Los
Angeles, I had to carry my suitcases, so I had to wear
my heavy wool coat. It was 90 degrees in L.A.; people
were looking at me like I was crazy! "
He caught a cab to his new
job as a molecular biologist at the City of Hope, a
medical research center and hospital in Duarte,
California, where he joined a newly-assembled,
international "dream team" in the nascent field of
recombinant DNA research. Soon, Crea and his colleagues
were pursuing a breakthrough of inestimable value: a process by
which to synthesize human insulin.
THE EARLY YEARS
Crea has come a long way
from his boyhood in Calabria. The son of a state
railroad employee, he moved with his family among the
villages of Palmi, Milazzo, Scalea and Gallico Marina.
Money was scarce for most soudiern Italian families
during the postwar era, and the Crea family was no
exception. Young Roberto wore hand-me-down clothes, and
sometimes there was no money to buy shoes.
As a youth, Crea dreamed
of studying engineering at the university in Torino, and
he made plans to live in the city with an aunt and uncle
upon his completion of the liceo scientifico, an Italian
secondary school. But tragically, his uncle, a
policeman, was fatally shot the summer following Crea's
graduation; Torino was no longer an option. Instead,
Crea resigned himself to a long commute to the
University of Messina in Sicily via ferry. Because
Messina did not have a good engineering school, he took
his father's advice and enrolled in the chemistry
department.
 Costco, 24
Hour Fitness OK'd
for South
Hayward
Wholesale warehouse to bring $1 million
to
tax coffers, officials say
September 25, 2008 -
HAYWARD — A field on the city's south side will be
reborn as a hub for bulk shopping and bulking up, after
a Costco Wholesale warehouse and a 24 Hour Fitness
facility were enthusiastically approved
Monday.
The vacant site is the same one that was proposed for
a high-tech business park by the builder of the nearby
Eden Shores housing development. But the demand for such
a facility has dwindled since that plan was approved by
ballot measure in 1998.
The Costco will be similar to the Fremont facility in
terms of size and design, and have amenities such as an
optometrist, bakery, deli, rotisserie chicken section
and tire center. It will also include a 16-pump discount
gas station, with room for a queue of 40 vehicles.
The Costco Business Center near A Street will remain
open because it offers a different selection of goods
and services, Costco representatives said.
The 24 Hour Fitness would have a full basketball
court and 25-meter swimming pool, in addition to usual
workout and training areas of other 24 Hour locations.
Representatives said it would replace an existing 24
Hour Fitness, but they were not certain whether that
means the Jackson Street site would close.
The committee approval is final unless the project is
appealed to the Planning Commission or City Council.
Costco representatives said they hope to open next
summer, while the fitness facility would be ready in the
fall.
Vacant Hayward City Hall gains new
life
East
Bay Business Times - by David Goll, Staff reporter
 August 28, 2008 - Hayward’s former city
hall, an 11-story high-rise that has stood empty for
nearly 17 years, is set to rise like a
phoenix.
The landmark
structure, which has had multiple owners during that
period, will gain new life as a 12-story office building
as part of a development plan by Mika Realty
Group, a
Los Angeles developer specializing in adaptive reuse of
aging urban structures. The redeveloped,
earthquake-retrofitted building would have 145,000
square feet of office space, a 9,000-square-foot
ground-level restaurant and a 12th floor added on top.
Tower renovations alone could run approximately $33
million.
Larger plans
for the nearly six-acre site where the building stands
along busy Foothill Boulevard in downtown Hayward
include demolishing adjacent Centennial Hall, an aging
57,000-square-foot conference center, and replacing it
with a six-story, 155-room hotel that would include a
10,000-square-foot conference center. An existing
three-story parking garage with 700 spaces will receive
an earthquake retrofit and then be topped with a
structure featuring 162 units of rental housing,
according to Paul Dalmon, redevelopment project manager
for the city of Hayward. There are no cost estimates at
this point for this part of the project.
Dalmon added
that a nearby supermarket owned by Safeway,
Inc. of
Pleasanton is being remodeled into the retailer’s
upscale “lifestyle”
format.

Joe Montana's investment in
Hayward a return to roots
East Bay Business Times
- by Jessica
Saunders Staff reporter
April 10, 2008 - Former San Francisco 49ers
quarterback and entrepreneur Joe Montana says he has
always had a preference for Hayward, where he bought his
first home while playing for the 49ers.
That's partly why he acquired the former
Perry & Key Body and Paint Shop on Mission Boulevard
earlier this year, near the South Hayward BART station
where high-density residential development is planned.
Speaking today at the Hayward Economic
Summit sponsored by Cal State East Bay, Montana said his
first real estate investment was in a Hayward
condominium that he shared with 49er teammate Dwight
Clark. Back in the early 1980s, the two commuted to
practice in Redwood City over the San Mateo bridge every
day, he said.
"I've always had a thing for Hayward,"
Montana said. "I lived here and wondered why the city
wasn't moving along faster: it has an airport and every
mode of transportation you can think of."
When a friend told him about the Perry
& Key property being on the market, he looked it
over and decided it would be a good investment, Montana
said.
"We are working with the city and BART
trying to see what we can do to help that corridor out,"
he said in response to questions from an audience of
about 100 people.
Earlier, Montana spoke about the
importance of preparation in building a successful team,
alluding to lessons learned in practice with his father
and coaches. Even the famed 1981 NFC Championship game
play, "The Catch," in which a pressured Montana
connected with a leaping Clark for what looked like an
improbable touchdown reception, was built on hours of
study and practice under Coach Bill Walsh, he said.
Preparation not only gets an individual
ready to perform, but it builds trust with team members
by demonstrating an individual's work ethic, Montana
said.
"Our preparation as a team and as
individuals really came together and pushed us into what
became the dynasty of the 1980s," he said.
The city does not yet have a formal
application from Montana and his business partner for
the Perry & Key site, said Susan Daluddung,
Hayward's community and economic development
director
The Mayor of B Street is turning 19
Hayward barber keeps young by only
celebrating every four years
By Matt O'Brien, STAFF
WRITER
|
Joe Oakman cuts Andrew Smith's hair at his
barber shop,
Barber Joe's, in Hayward, Calif.
on Thursday, February 14, 2008. Oakman is the
self-proclaimed Mayor of B Street.
(Tue Nam
Ton/BANG East Bay)
| 02/23/2008 -
HAYWARD — Barber Joe Oakman has a story to tell about
every one of his 18 birthdays.
On the
second, he fell off a tree in his hometown of Pueblo,
Colo. On the fourth, he spent the night in Juvenile Hall
in Oakland. What got him there?
"Trouble," says the barber, who turns 76
years old next week. Because he was born on a leap day
(Feb. 29), Friday will be only his 19th true birthday.
In
celebration, he has a row of ornaments on the windowsill
of his B Street barbershop. Actually, they're just
leftover Christmas ornaments — four snow people roasting
a bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon over an open fire.
"Wait
until my 21st. I'll be old enough to drink," Oakman
said, prompting a chorus of chuckles from a row of
seated men waiting to get their hair
cut.
In 57 years cutting hair in downtown
Hayward, Oakman has made stories, not just scissors, the
cornerstone of his business. On a recent afternoon, he
snipped the hair of Bud Blair, 87, a retired Hayward
water superintendent and regular Oakman customer for
decades.
"You
never considered selling used cars, huh?" Blair quipped
to Oakman, who wears a trademark handlebar mustache and
suspenders, and long ago pro claimed himself the Mayor
of B Street.
Oakman
spills into another colorful tangent from his
encyclopedic repertoire of stories. For his oldest and
newest customers, his personality — and the barbershop
as theater — fills a unique niche that none of his newer
downtown Advertisement competitors can match.
"Here I
have an 87-year-old man, and in a minute I've got a
5-year-old little kid," Oakman said. "I've got to change
my stories, the tone. Think about the flexibility I've
got to have. I'm a goddamn performer!"
Cell Genesys Reports Association Between Immune
Response and Patient Survival in Phase 2 Trial of GVAX
Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb.
15, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cell Genesys,
Inc. today reports the
results of an analysis examining the potential
association between immune responses to GVAX
immunotherapy for prostate cancer and increased patient
survival in a Phase 2 trial in patients with metastatic,
hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). More than 400
patient-specific GVAX-induced antibody responses were
identified in the sera of the treated patients by three
different biochemical techniques confirming, as
previously reported, that GVAX treatment results in a
broad, multi-antigen immune response. An ongoing
analysis of these GVAX-induced antibody responses has
shown that at least two of the antibody responses are
associated with patient survival, an association that is
independent of the dose and number of treatments
administered. These data will be presented today by Dr.
Thomas Harding and colleagues from Cell Genesys at the
American Society of Clinical Oncology's Genitourinary
Cancer Symposium being held in San Francisco,
California.
About GVAX Cancer
Immunotherapies
GVAX cancer immunotherapies are non
patient-specific investigational products comprised of
whole tumor cells that have been modified to secrete GM-
CSF (granulocyte-macrophagecolony-stimulating factor),
an immune stimulatory cytokine, and then irradiated for
safety. GVAX is administered via intradermal injections
on an outpatient basis. To date, over 600 patients have
been treated with GVAX cancer immunotherapies in Phase 1
and Phase 2 clinical trials for multiple indications,
including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and
leukemia. The company is currently manufacturing GVAX
immunotherapy for prostate cancer in its
bioreactor-based manufacturing plant in Hayward,
California, a facility that is also capable of
manufacturing the product for
commercialization.
Golf club guru back in the swing of
things
Excerpt from story by Bill Burnett, Chronicle
Real Estate Editor
Sunday,
February 10, 2008 
Jesse Ortiz, artist,
craftsman and reluctant businessman, is taking another
step on the comeback trail.
From his 300-square-foot
workshop in Hayward, the golf club designer who back in
the 1990s took Orlimar from a $1 million to a $105
million business in 18 months only to see it crash and
burn, is busy turning out the second generation of clubs with his name etched
alongside one of the most revered in the game - Bobby
Jones.
In late 2003, he got a
call from retired Malibu businessman Walter Rosenthal.
The heirs of Atlanta amateur Bobby Jones, golf's only
grand slam winner and builder of the Augusta National
course, wanted to brand golf clubs with the famed
name.
Ortiz produced a set of
hybrids, the popular clubs meant to replace long irons
that just about everyone is making (and using) these
days. He says they've sold well and created a lot of
buzz.
Now he is ready to unveil
the second generation of Bobby Jones by Jesse Ortiz
clubs. They include the Workshop Edition driver and a
set of four wedges designed in conjunction with Dave
Pelz, better known as the short-game guru.
A blitz of
infomercials is due to hit the Golf Channel in
mid-March. For more information on the clubs, go
to www.bobbyjonesgolf.com. They should be arriving in pro shops in
mid-March. Click here for the entire

How Hayward Got Its Name
...
In 1851, during the
time of the Gold Rush, William Hayward made his
way to "El Rancho San Lorenzo," squatting on land
in Palomares Canyon. In 1852, at the invitation of
Don Guillermo Castro, Hayward bought 40 acres of
land spanning what is now the downtown Hayward
area. He opened a general trading store which soon
prospered into a stagecoach stop, a post office, a
hostelry and a dairy farm. Later, William Hayward
became Post Master, Justice of Peace, County
Supervisor and Eden Township Roadmaster. Hayward
and his second wife, Rachel, also established the
"Hayward's Hotel," one of the area's finest
resorts. 
The Haywards
Hotel,
Hayward, CA around 1908
Old
Postcard Photos of
Hayward
Although Don Castro named what is
now downtown Hayward "San Lorenzo," many people
referred to the town as "Hayward's Place" or
"Hayward's" because of the famous Hayward Hotel.
When the post office was established
in 1860, the town was given the official name of
"Haywood," due to a clerical error. In 1876,
"Haywood" was incorporated as the "Town of
Haywards," with a population of 1,100. In 1894,
the "s" in "Haywards" was dropped and on September
18, 1928, the status of the community was changed
to the "City of Hayward."

Hayward! "The Heart of the
Bay."
There are so many reasons to love Hayward, here
are just a few:
Every Saturday, rain
or shine, there's a Farmers Market with tons of
great produce grown by local farmers and much
cheaper than the Ferry Building in San
Francisco
Location, location, location.
Seriously - 1/2 way between San Francisco and San
Jose
Housing prices are cheaper - you get
way more bang for you buck
The views of the
hills.
The views from the hills - you can see
from San Jose all the way up to San Francisco on a
clear day and at night, too. -
WOW!
Hayward regional shoreline - a great
place to see wildlife and clear you
mind.
Diverse culture
The
Mediterranean type weather is perfect - never too
hot or too cold
Hayward is hidden
gem. |
