Notable Local Figures Face Shifts and Stirs in Bay Area
A mix of local changes unfolds across the Bay Area. A Sen Leandro family member completes a major financial reduction, while Ellsworth ends five years as editor of Niles Rotary’s The Pinion. Fremont sees a media exit, Stivers Lagoon debates spark chatter, and Hayward revokes a liquor license for selling to minors. Dr. Joseph Enos joins the National Geriatrics Society board of governors. Congressman Miller proposes a commemorative dentist stamp. Bill Witherspoon settles in Hayward after travel service work in Europe, and San Leandro councilman Joe Bellini, a pharmacist, weighs zoning lingo with a vitamin spin. Newark notices a missing shoe store and a stray “gila” cat tale leads to a comic sewer rescue. Fresh eggs and live hens advertise a Decoto Rd farm.
