Curtain Call at Central Cinema

Alameda’s Central Cinema, the plucky small-time independent operation, is $2,900 in arrears on its rent and will be evicted June 5 unless payment is made, according to a Notice to Pay or Quit taped to the movie theater’s door Tuesday.

But Mark Haskett, the theater’s operator, said unequivocally that he is current on his rent and that no notice was ever attached to the building. “I’m stunned,” he said. “We don’t owe anybody any money...I haven’t had any contact with him (his landlord). I would think he would call me,” he said.

Dark Meat Team Goes for Ultimate Win

Alameda Community Learning Center’s (ACLC) Ultimate Frisbee team, Dark Meat, won the state championship for the fourth year in a row on Sunday, April 27. California teams that participated included Foothill High School, Miramonte High School, Redwood High School, Castro Valley High School and many others.

ACLC’s team will participate in the High School Western Championships this weekend in Independence, Mo., competing against teams from the Pacific Northwest, Colorado and Minnesota. Above is the team picture, following their defeat of Miramonte High School last Sunday for the crown.

It Takes a Runway to Sink a Village

A developer’s plan to build 104 houses 1,000 yards from the end of Oakland International Airport’s main runway is hitting snags with city officials and businesses that could delay or cancel it entirely.

A city review of the project released Wednesday highlighting conclusions of a lengthy environmental review found “the activities normally expected to occur in outdoor areas of residential uses (i.e., relaxed speech, sleep, feelings of general tranquility) would be seriously impacted.” The report, prepared in advance of the city’s Planning Board meeting May 12, recommends the project be rejected.

Mother-Daughter Look-Alike Contest

Response to the 2008 Mother-Daughter Look-Alike Contest was phenomenal. Since so many mothers and daughters entered this year’s contest, the Alameda Sun staff was overwhelmed. We are asking our readers to vote for the candidates who look the most alike.
