From Spooky to Sustainable: Compost Your Halloween Pumpkins

We hope everyone had a spooktacular Halloween! As you clean up today, remember to give your Halloween pumpkins a new purpose. Toss your pumpkins in your green compost cart and keep them out of the landfill. Composting creates a rich fertilizer that can be used for gardening. It also reduces waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks for doing your part!

Fremont's Manufacturing Week Featured on CBS Bay Area

Amidst the ongoing news of office vacancies and tech layoffs, Fremont continues to shine as a stronghold of advanced manufacturing in sectors like cleantech, semiconductors, biomedical, and autotech. Check out this KPIX news segment highlighting Fremont’s leadership in developing the next generation of workforce to meet the growing demands of modern manufacturing. Reporter Len Ramirez concludes, “Manufacturing jobs were once in danger of extinction in Silicon Valley, but not anymore and not in Fremont, where the City, educators, and workers are all stepping into the future.”

Medfly Update

The California Department of Food and Agriculture update on medflies

Wild medflies continue to be trapped, both in core areas and on the peripheries. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is working diligently with homeowners of sites where medflies have been located and adjacent properties. 

To prevent the spread of fruit flies via infested homegrown fruits and vegetables, residents and people moving through the fruit fly eradication area are urged not to move any fruits or vegetables from their property. Fruits and vegetables may be consumed or processed (i.e. juiced, frozen, cooked, or ground in the garbage disposal) at the property of origin. If they are not consumed or processed, dispose of them by double-bagging them in plastic bags and putting the bags in the garbage bin for collection.

Daylight savings time [ https://mwg.aaa.com/via/car/avoid-glare-while-driving ]
Daylight Saving Time Ends This Sunday

Be prepared to gain one hour and lose some daylight this Sunday, November 3. The time change and Fall time of the year also poses different potential for roadway crashes due to disrupted sleep patterns for drivers and changes in roadway lighting conditions during commute hours. Here are a few tips on driving safely after daylight saving time ends:


* Do not drive when feeling drowsy and be especially careful when driving, biking, or walking during the darker hours of the day.
* As the temperature gets colder, morning frost on the windshield may be more common, which impairs driver ability to see the road clearly. Always take the time to defrost the windshield, and never drive without being able to see through the windshield.
* Watch out for sun glare from the sunrise and sunset period, which tends to overlap with morning and afternoon commute times. Make sure the windshields are clean, wear sunglasses, and use the vehicle’s sun visor when needed. If the sun is in your eyes and is causing you to have trouble seeing the road ahead, slow down regardless of the posted speed limit. It is the driver’s responsibility to ultimately drive at the appropriate speed given the roadway condition.
* Pedestrians and bicyclists are highly encouraged to wear high visibility clothing, install reflective materials or lights on bikes, and be attentive when walking or biking on the road or sidewalk area in low light or dark conditions.

Daylight saving time is always a good reminder to check your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide batteries to ensure they're working properly.

Drowsy driving [ https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drowsy-driving ]
Drowsy Driving Prevention Week

The first full week of November is the National Sleep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. It is also the week after Daylight Saving Time ended. It is a reminder to prioritize sleep so that you can be refreshed and alert, especially when driving. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there were at least 693 traffic fatalities in 2022 caused by drowsy driving. Because drowsy driving is hard to measure, this number is likely higher. Here are a few tips on driving alert:


* Avoid driving when tired or during peak “sleepiness periods” (midnight – 6 am and late afternoon) or opt to use public transportation.
* Drive slower regardless of the posted speed limit, or pull over to a safe location for a quick rest break when feeling drowsy. Do not drive faster thinking that the increase in speed will keep you awake.
* Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep.
* Check your prescriptions and over-the-counter labels for side effects such as drowsiness.

Storm drains
Monitoring Storm Drains

Before the rainy season, take advantage of clear skies and check the drain inlet systems on your local surrounding streets. Storm drains have limited capacity, and flooding may occur particularly in low-lying areas. Use a rake or shovel for collecting debris from storm drain inlets, and don't forget to properly dispose of leaves in your green compost cart. Thank you for your help with monitoring Fremont’s storm drains.
