Water and cookies donations are being sought for the upcoming memorial of longtime coach Rich Swift.

Athletics Boosters' President Stacy Kelly said event coordinators are hoping for all the water to be donated by March 6. Donations of cookies can be brought to Newark Memorial High School from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 9.

Swift, a longtime coach at Newark Memorial High School and athletics director, died Feb. 13, just a week after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He was 60 years old.

Anyone who would like more information on donations is asked to contact Kelly at 510-719-0333.

Today PG&E told me that about 3,000 customers (homes and businesses) in Newark and Fremont were…Read More without power from 7:57 p.m. to about 11 p.m. (I think ours went out a few minutes before that and I'm sure ours came on before 9 p.m. I suppose maybe some of those 3000 folks were out longer as they brought neighborhoods back up gradually, but my guess is that some bureaucrat guessed at the beginning that the outage "should" last 3 hours, and that became historical "fact.") due to a "device failure." (Now that's informative. My guess remains that wind was involved.) They called and left a message on my Comcast voice mail to let me know the power was out and that it should be back on by 11 - but my phones require power so I didn't get the message until this morning. I just called PG&E to change the number they call with such notifications to my cell, but they were able to clarify nothing else. Anyway, in case you were wondering, that is what PG&E now says happened.
