FAMILY SUES OVER HAZING DEATH

San Diego businessman Floyd W. Kephart submitted a 20-page plan to Oakland and Alameda County officials last week for a development project that would provide a new stadium for the Oakland Raiders by 2019.
The $900 million, 55,000-seat sta-dium also includes development plans for an area adjacent to the new stadium called Coliseum City that will consist of 4,000 housing units, 400 hotel units and retail space, according to the plan orig-inally obtained by the Bay Area News Group. Kephart reported that the total price for the entire project would be just more than $4 billion. At the time this publication went to print, the Raiders had not commented on the proposal.
The deal would require that current Raiders team owner Mark Davis sell 20 percent of the franchise to Kephart’s business, New City Development, LLC for $200 million according to the plan. This is the first time in the league’s his-tory a new stadium proposal included a provision to allow the development com-pany the option to purchase a portion of the team.
“The Raiders, along with the NFL with the G4 money, which is a $200 mil-lion loan to the Raiders, would be able to
Jazz, blues and gospel bands fiddled in Hayward City Hall Plaza last weekend during the 16th an-nual Hayward Russell City Blues Festival.
The downtown lawn was filled with jazz fans either sitting, danc-ing to the music and bobbing their heads as they enjoyed the soothing sounds of artists such as Kingfish, Carl Weathersby and Eddie “The Chief” Clearwater.
The festival was hosted by the West Coast Blues Society, a non-profit organization dedicat-ed to the, “perpetuation of Blues, Jazz and Gospel as an indigenous American art form,” according to their website.
They host numerous festivals throughout the year in cities that have history with jazz like Los An-geles, Seattle, Oakland and Hay-ward-Russell City.
Russell City is an unincorpo-rated part of northern Hayward by A Street, which experienced a growth in African Americans af-ter World War II, which birthed a wave of jazz artists including leg-ends Big Joe Turner and Big Mama Thornton.
Eventually West Coast blues was born, as artists in California switched up the instruments and replaced horns with harmonicas, which led Hayward to be a historic influence in Jazz history, accord-ing to the West Coast Blues Soci-ety.
The city had musicians who performed throughout the nu-merous clubs found in the area during the 1940's, 50's and 60's.
“I really enjoy coming to this show,” said Helen Leopold, Hay-ward resident. “I started coming about 10 years ago and this is the best show.”
come up with $500 million. We’ve put $500 million on the table and we believe that we could build the stadium in Oak-land that would be suitable for the Raid-ers and our fans for about $900 million. We would need the land and the infra-structure to be taken care of somehow,” Davis told ESPN’s John Clayton in an interview in June.
The stadium itself would be com-pletely funded by the Raiders and the NFL, which leaves a $400 million gap in funding the Raiders would be required to cover. The NFL has already commit-ted up to $200 million in a statement made by Commissioner Roger Goodell at the owner’s meetings last month. According to Kephart’s statements, the Raiders would borrow $300 million from creditors, contribute $100 million of their own money and use half of the $200 million they would receive from the sale of a percentage of the team to Kephart’s company as well as sales of personal seating licenses for sea-son-ticket holders to fill the funding gap for the stadium and parking garages on their end.
New City Development, LLC would purchase just over 90 acres of land at the current site from the city and county for $116 million, which they would then put back into the new stadium. The city

Its just a walk to class
Parking is not the problem
Let’s face it, students on average have to walk a quarter of a
mile, that takes five minutes to get to class which is approximately
from Lot G to Meiklejohn Hall.“

Students complain about it time and time again: the lack of parking at Cal State East Bay. Students use the lack of parking spaces as an excuse to arrive late to their classes, explaining that they had trouble finding parking but really they had difficulty discovering that per-fect parking spot closest to their class.
CSUEB is known as a commuter col-lege, with most of its students living off-campus. Most students knew this when they applied. Please, excuse the university if there is not a spot open closest to your class but why not find a spot about 100 yards further and burn off that creamer in your coffee. It’s healthy to engage in physical activity.
But the reality of it is, a student can most likely make it to their class in the same amount of time they spend when
they search for a parking spot. Students are wasting their time by waiting for a closer spot, they can easily just park in a further space or lot and make it to class on time.
Let’s face it, students on average have to walk a quarter of a mile, that takes five minutes to get to class which is ap-proximately from Lot G to Meiklejohn Hall. The 10 to 15 minutes a student spends checking their Instagram, Twit-ter and Snapchat feeds in the morning is valuable time they could be using to be punctual. Priorities, people!
Now on to logistics. According to 2013 data – the most recent provided by CSUEB parking services – there are roughly 4,752 parking spots for approxi-mately 14,823 students that are enrolled at CSUEB. Granted, that does not fit enough cars, but there are always lots open with plenty of spaces. The universi-ty has attempted to better accommodate parking needs by adding an “overflow”
lot next to Meiklejohn Hall that has 237 spaces. It is less than a quarter of a mile from campus and it’s made of gravel.
The university is currently in summer quarter and is renovating two key lots, A and B, so 505 spots are temporarily un-available to faculty, students and staff. Despite this loss there are still plenty of spots in campus parking lots just a few minutes away.
The amount of students enrolled in summer classes is significantly less than any other quarter so parking should not be a problem.
The average college student at CSUEB is 24 years of age and fully capable of walking more than a mile. If they are unable to walk to class there are services that can transport students to class -- let’s use our legs, find a spot, regardless of how far it is and walk the distance to your class.
Enjoy the breeze, the clouds, the view and the university on your way to class.

Asbestos present in Hayward schools
School administrators are cautioned not to disturb it, inspectors warn of its dangers, and the EPA has banned it from new construction, yet asbestos re-mains in the 34 schools of the Hayward Unified School District, which serves approximately 20,879 students.
School administrators confirmed recently that a district-wide inspection was underway.
According to inspection reports ob-tained from the Professional Services Industry firm through a Freedom of In-formation request this Spring, asbestos was found in drywall, plaster, vinyl floor tiles, and pipe wraps.
In keeping with the federally mandat-ed requirements of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, the national firm provides engineering, consulting and testing services, and monitors and reports on the condition of asbestos ev-ery three years.
The inspection reported the presence of 92,635 square feet of vinyl asbestos tile, of which more than half had mini-mal damage that did not exceed 25 per-cent. According to the report, nearly 50 classrooms, art rooms, music rooms and offices contained this tile.
Coaches’ offices, metal shops, auto shops, and wood shop classes were vis-ibly damaged in some cases, but still qualified for ranking of good condition, according to the report. Alongside tile in some coach offices and the shop areas, pipe wraps—straights and joints, are visibly hanging in upper corners of the shop areas.
“I wouldn’t say [conditions] are good, but there hasn’t been any changes,” one shop teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, told Pioneer reporters who toured the area.
Officials from the Hayward Unified School District did not respond to multi-ple requests for comment.
Asbestos, a natural mineral resis-tant to heat, flame and electricity, was a commonly-used building material in the U.S. until 1980, when the Environ-mental Protection Agency tagged it as a carcinogen and noted that the presence of even one percent of asbestos found in any material categorized that material as hazardous.
The American Cancer Society classi-fies asbestos as a “human carcinogen.”
According to the Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness center, asbestos is most harmful when it becomes airborne which can happen during building ren-ovations.
According to an inspection from No-vember 2011, Cherryland Elementary
has 16,110 square feet of friable acous-tical plaster that lies in the ceiling of corridors, offices, classrooms and the library. The plaster has been enclosed with ceiling tiles, unlike the drywall and plaster at Tennyson High School, which is only covered by wallpaper. Cherryland was built in 1948 and has 784 students.
According to inspection results from October 2011, Tennyson High School, built in 1957, is clear of Asbestos Con-taining Materials in 81 percent of its units. However, it still contains 6,200 square feet of friable drywall in class-rooms, offices and parts of the library, which could put its 1,281 students at risk of exposure.
Inspector Brian Flanary expressed concerns about “staple and nail holes in the library that were not sealed,” in his report.
Teachers must be notified that mate-rials “should not be stapled/nailed [or] screwed to ACM drywall,” inspector Flanary said, expressing concern about the crumbling of the drywall under the pressure of staples or nail holes. His 2011 report is the most recent on file.
Assistant Superintendent Lisa Grant-Dawson said the district begins by assessing and containing friable – able to be crushed by hand – asbestos, then determines whether the issue can be resolved by in-house staff who are certified in Hazardous Material man-
agement or if the work should be out-sourced for safe removal.
According to survey records, the November 2011 inspection deter-mined that Hayward High School has more Asbestos Containing Material than any school in the district. Estab-lished in 1892, Hayward High is one of the city’s oldest institutions and was relocated twice. It currently serves ap-proximately 1,567 students.
Every unit of inspection in Hay-ward High had at least one source of ACM, and half showed the presence of both friable and non-friable material, according to inspections. Particles released in the air can cause various – sometimes severe – respiratory dis-eases.
More than 80 percent of all asbes-tos material in Hayward High was found to bein the form of non-friable asbestos vinyl floor tile and friable pipe wraps—straights and joints.
Non-friable Asbestos, which does not disintegrate under hand pressure, is often encapsulated in hard-to-crush solids like concrete or asphalt, accord-ing to the EPA.
Grant-Dawson says that the district addresses more immediate demands that range from “student safety to power outages, structural repairs, and various maintenance and facility needs.”

By Robert SalongaSAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
The San Jose Police Department is on the verge of putting itself in league with other big cities as it rolls out a body camera trial in the coming week.
The trial comes after years of efforts to employ the cameras that outlasted multiple police chiefs and recently got a boost amid national outcry over im-proving police transparency.
The current program has been 18 months in development, with a three-month field test starting Monday.
Fifteen officers in patrol and spe-cial operations will spend four weeks each testing three types of cameras, two made by Taser International -- including an eyeglass-mounted mod-el -- and one from Vievu, a company headed by a former Oakland police sergeant.
The cameras cost $400 to $600 apiece; the city estimates it will spend about $1 million on the camera equip-ment to outfit a force of about 950, about half of whom are assigned to patrol.
As currently outlined, the pilot will continue through October, after which the department will process field test results and procurement, choose a device by March, and have officers trained and outfitted by the end of June.
It’s a slightly accelerated timeline from the department’s initially pro-posed September deployment.
Mayor Sam Liccardo moved it up after this newspaper in May pub-lished an analysis of police data that revealed blacks and Latinos were stopped, searched or temporarily de-tained at percentages far exceeding their portion of the city’s population.
At an unveiling of the Taser prod-ucts Wednesday at police headquar-ters, project leader Sgt. Elle Washburn addressed questions about public ac-cess and video retention, noting that they largely fall under existing evi-dence protections.
Under the current policy, freshly minted in the spring, video would be released on a case-by-case basis in consultation with city counsel and under the discretion of the police chief, in scenarios of massive public interest.
Plans to outfit San Jose police with body cameras sputtered during the past few years at the department. The program was left in limbo after Chief Chris Moore retired in 2013. Earlier, during Chief Rob Davis’ term, SJPD conducted a short-term test of body cameras for Taser.
The use of body cameras has re-ceived a national push by civil-rights groups in the wake of police distrust evoked by events in places such as Ferguson, Missouri, Staten Island, New York, and North Charleston, South Carolina, where unarmed black men were killed by police.
The public-goodwill returns have been promising, albeit in limited sam-ples.
Oakland, which fully outfitted its force with body cameras in 2013, has seen the number of use-of-force in-cidents drop dramatically, to 611 last year, compared with more than 2,000 incidents in 2009.
Complaints from residents there dropped to 1,052 last year, down from a recent peak of 2,598 in 2012, a year marked by frequent Occupy Oakland protests.
In Rialto, San Bernardino County, police say that in 2012, the first year officers wore body cameras, instanc-es where they used force dropped by 59 percent and complaints from resi-dents fell by nearly 88 percent.
During the San Jose field test, po-lice will tally complaints and compare them to similar periods from previous years to gauge the hoped-for deterrent effects -- on officers against bad be-havior and on residents against friv-olous abuse claims.

University, fraternity sued over death
An aerial view of Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County. Nineteen-year-old CSUN student Armando Villa, died July 1, 2014 from injuries sustained while on a hike during a Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity hazing incident.
The family of a California State Uni-versity, Northridge student who died in a fraternity hazing incident is suing the university and fraternity, saying they still don’t know what happened to him a year after his death.
Armando Villa, 19, died July 1, 2014, after becoming dehydrated during a hike in Angeles National Forest while pledging for Pi Kappa Phi.
School officials have said the hike was part of a hazing incident and that Villa had hoped to join the fraternity, which has since shut down the local chapter.
But Villa’s mother and stepfather, Betty and Joseph Serrato, say they have been left in the dark.
“It’s been a year since Armando’s death and we still have no answers,” Joseph Serrato said in a statement. “No one has stepped forward to tell us what happened to my son. I am angry and ter-ribly sad.”
Now the family’s attorney, Douglas Aberle, says they have filed a lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and CSUN over Villa’s death. They are seeking unspec-ified damages.
“Their conduct led to the death of this 19-year-old man, who was on his way up in the world,” Aberle said Wednesday.
Aberle said the national fraternity or-ganization and university were warned about the CSUN chapter’s inappropriate activities before Villa’s death and did not take action.
“Both the university and the nation-al chapter should have read this as a warning sign and eliminated the local chapter. But Pi Kappa Phi national has a history of inadequately supervising its local chapters,” he said. “Armando and his family have paid the price for their negligence.”
The family says the school and the fraternity’s national organization should have supervised the CSUN chapter and its members.
Villa pledged with the fraternity in 2013 after enrolling at CSUN as a fresh-man, Aberle said. When he went out for the hike, Villa was forced to wear ill-fitting shoes during the hazing, he said. The fraternity leaders didn’t bring enough water, so Villa and a friend left the group in search of more water, Ab-erle said.
Pi Kappa Phi has declined to com-ment about litigation. But in a statement
Wednesday the national organization said its CSUN chapter was permanently closed in September 2014.
“Our thoughts and prayers remain with Armando’s family and all those affected by his passing,” Pi Kappa Phi Chief Executive Mark Timmes said. CSUN spokesman Jeff Noblitt said any claim alleging the university was re-
sponsible for Villa’s death was untrue.The university, he said, immediately
launched a formal investigation into the incident and determined that the pledge process fit the definition of hazing.
Hazing is a violation of CSUN’s stu-dent conduct code, as well as its code of ethics for student clubs and organiza-tions.
“CSUN had no knowledge of Pi Kappa Phi’s actions,” Noblitt said. “Following CSUN’s independent in-vestigation, the university perma-nently banned Pi Kappa Phi from ever operating on campus again. The death of Armando was a tragedy and our hearts continue to go out to his family and friends.”

El amianto presente en escuelas de Hayward
Se advierte a los administradores de la escuela no molestar a ella, los inspec-tores advierten de sus peligros, y la EPA ha prohibido desde la nueva construc-ción, sin embargo, el amianto sigue sien-do en las 34 escuelas de los escolares del Distrito.Unificado Hayward
Administradores han confirmado que un nuevo distrito en todo el inspec-ción se está llevando a cabo.
De acuerdo con los informes de in-spección obtenidos de la firma de ser-vicios profesionales Industria, a través de una solicitud de Libertad de Infor-mación, el asbesto se encuentra en las envolturas de yeso, yeso, baldosas de vinilo, y tuberías. La firma ofrece ser-vicios de ingeniería, consultoría y ser-vicios de prueba y monitores e informes sobre el estado del amianto cada tres años de acuerdo con los requisitos exigi-dos por el gobierno federal de la Asbes-tos Hazard Emergency Response Act.
La inspección reportó la presencia de 92.635 pies cuadrados de asbesto de vinilo baldosas de los cuales más de la mitad tenía daños mínimos que no su-peró el 25 porciento.Según el informe, cerca de 50 aulas, así como salas de arte, salas de música y oficinas contenían esta baldosa.
Algunos lugares, como oficinas de los entrenadores, las clases de taller de metal, taller mecánico y taller de made-ra, estaban visiblemente dañado, pero aún así se clasificó para la clasificación de buen estado, en el informe. Junto con el azulejo en las oficinas de los en-trenadores y de las zonas de tiendas, tubo envolturas-rectas y juntas, están visiblemente colgando en las esquinas superiores de las zonas de tiendas.
“Yono diría que [Condiciones] son buenos, pero no ha habido ninguna cam-bios, “maestro una tienda, que deseaban permanecer en el anonimato, dijo a los periodistas que recorrieron la zona.
Los funcionarios del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Hayward no respondió a solicitudes de comentarios hechos por el Pioneer.
Asbesto, un mineral natural resis-tente al calor, llama y electricidad, fue un común-material de construcción uti-lizado en los EE.UU. hasta 1980, cuando la Agencia de Protección Ambiental eti-quetada como un carcinógeno, y señaló que la presencia de incluso un uno por ciento del amianto encontró en cualqui-er material que el material clasificado como peligroso. La Sociedad Americana del Cáncer clasifica asbesto como un “carcinógeno humano.”
De acuerdo con el mesotelioma y el centro de la conciencia de asbesto, amianto más dañino cuando se con-vierte en el aire que pueden ocurrir du-rante la construcción de obras de refor-ma.
Cherryland Primaria fue construido en 1948 y cuenta con 784 estudiantes. De acuerdo con la la inspección de noviembre de 2011, Cherryland tiene 16,110 pies cuadrados de yeso acústica friable que se encuentra en el techo de los pasillos, oficinas, aulas y la bibliote-ca. El yeso se ha cerrado con las tejas del techo, a diferencia de los paneles de yeso y escayola en Tennyson High School, que sólo está cubierto por el papel pintado.
De acuerdo con los resultados de la inspección de octubre de 2011, THS, construido en 1957, está libre de asbes-to que contiene materiales en un 81 por ciento de sus unidades de inspección. Sin embargo, todavía contiene 6,200 pies cuadrados de paneles de yeso fria-ble en aulas, oficinas y partes de la bib-lioteca, que pone a sus estudiantes 1281 en riesgo deexposición.Inspector Fla-nary estaba preocupado por “agujeros de grapas y clavos en la biblioteca que no fueron sellados”, mostró su informe.
Hay 20.879 alumnos matriculados
en las 34 escuelas de acuerdo con el in-forme de la inscripción 02 2015.
Los maestros deben ser notificados de que los materiales “no deben ser grapar / clavar [o] atornillado a drywall ACM, “dijo el inspector Brian Flanary. Flanary expresó su preocupación por el desmoronamiento de los paneles de yeso bajo la presión de grapas o agujeros de los clavos. Su informe, en 2011, es el más reciente en el archivo.
Asistente del Superintendente Lisa Grant-Dawson dijo que el distri-to comienza por evaluar y contienen amianto friable, a continuación, deter-mina si el problema puede ser resuel-to por el personal de la casa que están certificados en el manejo de materiales peligrosos o, si el trabajo debe ser sub-contratada para la eliminación segura.
Hayward High School establecida en 1892, es una de las instituciones más antiguas de la ciudad. Se trasladó dos veces y en su dirección actual tiene una población estudiantil de 1,567.Según los registros de la encuesta, la última in-spección, en noviembre de 2011, mostró que tiene más de asbesto que contiene material que cualquier escuela en el dis-trito.
Cada unidad de inspección en HHS tenía al menos una fuente de ACM, y la mitad mostró la presencia de ambos friable y no friable. De acuerdo con las partículas de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos lan-zaron en el aire puede causar diversas enfermedades respiratorias, a veces,
graves, y el material se clasifica como “El amianto friable.”
El tipo menos peligroso es “El amian-to no friable”, que no se desintegra bajo presión de la mano y es a menudo en-capsulada en sólidos difíciles de aplas-tar como el hormigón o asfalto, según la EPA. Más del 80 por ciento de todo el ACM en HHS era en forma de baldosas de piso de vinilo de amianto no friable y tuberías friable envolturas-rectas y las articulaciones.
Pero Superintendente Auxiliar
Grant-Dawson dice que las direc-ciones distritales demandas más in-mediatas que van desde la “seguridad de los estudiantes a cortes de energía, reparaciones estructurales, y diversas necesidades de mantenimiento y las instalaciones.
“Peroél estaba de acuerdo con Grant-Dawson que el sistema eléctri-co necesita reparaciones debido fun-cionamiento del equipo en su salón de clases puede sobrecargar los circuitos y causar los interruptores para apagar.

THE PIONEER
With impressive balance and an air of expectancy, the Pacific Rim Boys 18-1 team repeated as USA Volleyball Junior National champions. To do so, the East Bay squad took down a Southern Cali-fornia giant.
In a highly anticipated showdown, Pacific Rim vanquished The HBC Black 18-Huntington Beach 25-21, 25-19 in the championship match of the Gold Bracket Open Division in Columbus, Ohio on July 4. Pacific Rim coach Roger Worsley, whose sons Joe and Gage made the all-tournament team, said the event seemed like a carry-over from the previ-ous year when Pacific Rim won the 17s title in Houston, Texas.
“Just very controlled, very confident,” Roger Worsley said of his team’s de-meanor. “I detected no jitters at all. The team was focused on the task at hand.” Pacific Rim, which had an 11-0 record (22-2 in sets), had four players make the all-tournament team, including East Bay Player of the Year Jordan Ewert, a Deer Valley High graduate headed to Stanford, and Micah Ma’a of Hawaii. Joe and Gage Worsley helped Campolindo win a fifth straight North Coast Section Division II championship and a third consecutive NorCal Division II crown in the spring. Roger Worsley described being able to coach his sons as an “in-credible experience. It’s been extremely rewarding. ... The best decision I ever made.”
In 2014, Pacific Rim became the first Northern California team to win a national volleyball championship. But some Southern Californians thought the accomplishment deserved an asterisk
because Pacific Rim didn’t have to face HBC Black 17s, which played up a divi-sion in the 18s.
But Pacific Rim put all that talk to rest in Columbus, even after dropping its three previous matchups against HBC Black dating back to December. “I told the guys, ‘I’m not interested in these wins in these tournaments. There’s only one tournament that mat-ters, and that’s the last tournament,’” Roger Worsley said. Football Bishop O’Dowd star Camilo Eifler made an oral commitment to Washington on July 9 at a nationally televised event in Beaverton, Oregon.
In The Opening on ESPNU on July 9 at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, Eifler said “The program is on the rise and I feel that under Coach (Chris) Petersen and Coach (Bob) Gregory, I can excel in that program.” Eifler, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound outside linebacker, has a four-star rating by rivals.com. He was a third-team All-East Bay selection last season.
Eifler’s high school coach is former Washington star Napoleon Kaufman. “I picture myself as a very athletic out-side linebacker, potentially converted to a safety if needed,” said Eifler when asked what the Washington fans would be getting and how Washington envi-sions him fitting in its system.
He said that he has a lot of similar-ities with former Huskies star Shaq Thompson “who is one of my favorite linebackers,” Eifler said. “I feel like I am a hard hitter and I like to play in space.” When Eifler announced on Twitter on July 6 that he would be making his decision on July 9, he list-ed Michigan, Oregon, Cal, Texas A & M and UCLA as well as Washington.

and the county would also have to cov-er more than $100 million that was ap-proved in 1995 for renovations to O.co Coliseum when the team returned from Los Angeles.
“What the city and county have done is they’ve given an exclusive negotiating agreement to a company run by a guy by the name of Floyd Kephart. They are attempting to come up with that $400 million gap through some type of a real estate development deal,” Davis said.
Oakland and Alameda County would also have to put $80 million toward parking garages and Kephart’s company would put up the rest of the $107 million needed for those structures. The deal will also leave the Oakland A’s space for a new stadium which would be reserved until Jan. 1, 2019.

We’ve put $500 million on the table and we believe that we could build the stadium in Oakland that would be suitable for the Raiders and our fans for about $900 million.”- Mark Davis, Oakland Raiders Owner
The Golden State Warriors will be allowed to extend their lease at Oracle Arena, however, the 2015 NBA champions are looking to secure a deal in the Mission Bay neighborhood in San Francisco. A’s team officials have said that while they are interested in a new venue, they would not be interested in building one near a new football stadium.
“This feels like the 90s all over again,” Raid-ers season ticket holder John Garcia said. “It just feels like it ain’t gonna happen. Now they got LA and San Antonio to compete with too. Man, when the money’s funny you gotta do what’s best I guess, but I can’t be an LA Raiders fan.”
Kephart’s proposal said the football stadi-um would be completed by 2019, the hotel by 2020, with the housing, retail and office set to be completed by 2022. In June, Raiders team officials requested until the end of the year to find other options for a new stadium but Good-ell has yet to respond.
