Week in Review: Big Bang Soccer and the Incredible Shrinking Romance

With spring in full bloom, it seems everyone is getting active—just ask newlyweds Dawn and Adam, the Cherryland couple who lost 112 pounds together on the CW's Shedding for the Wedding. But plenty of other people took the opportunity to get out and have fun over the sunny week that was.  This week saw hundreds of kids flock to official DSAL soccer season opener, dozens of young people enjoying the sunshine at the newly-open Ashland Skate Park, and many adults getting down at Fresh Pizza's Sunday dance-off. Missed more? Here's our recap of what happened:Monday:Mysterious stenciled foxes appear to have migrated over the hill from Castro Valley into San Lorenzo, popping up at Starbucks and Arroyo High School in recent weeks. Analisa Harangozo investigated the shadowy figures, while columnist Toni Mann wrote about keeping up with the Jonesses in a Coupe de Ville. Tuesday:On Tuesday, we recapped the Alameda County Sheriff's re-accreditation hearing, including the curious genesis of the Undersheriff Lucia tomato.

BART weighed how to spend millions, while one Cherryland couple celebrated the biggest loss of their lives—112 pounds they dropped before the finale of Shedding for the Wedding Wednesday.  Thursday:A profile of California Republican Tom Del Beccaro got blood boiling in the comments section.
