Acacia Creek and Masonic Home Lifestyle Coordinator Penny Vittoria spoke with quiet conviction as one of the Walk Challenge teams celebrated a victorious week at a “smoothie” party, a reward for the top “steps” team. Each week, the blender gets busy as members of the team with the most steps that week gather to honor their efforts. These are serious competitors who know that the current champions located in Boston will not relinquish the gilded sneaker easily. Vittoria estimates that last year’s winner accumulated 47 million steps! But they are determined… “They have it and we want it.” To help boost the total steps for local participants, Acacia Creek hosted “Senior Games” May 19 during which residents were challenged to add to steps through a variety of games and activities including carnival games, horseshoes, wii bowling, bean bag baseball and a 25 foot climbing wall! Not for the faint of heart, the climbing

lthough not featured on Wide World of Sports and lacking worldwide attention of the Olympic Games, a group in Union City is no less motivated or intense in their quest. At stake are bragging rights and the coveted “Golden Sneaker,” a testament to ultimate prowess in a “Walk to Wellness” campaign that spans the nation. Residents of Acacia Creek, an independent Masterpiece Living® Community located on the campus of the Masonic Home of Union City, combined forces with the Masonic Home to walk, dance, lift weights, swim and participate in a variety of physical activities that convert to “steps” for comparison purposes. Each week throughout the month of May, these “steps” are tallied; the final cumulative number will determine the winner. INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

rvington High School student Christopher Lin is on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout. He completed his Eagle project at Cesar Chavez Park/Old Alvarado Park, Union City, at the end of April. Lin and his crew of volunteers improved a picnic area by constructing a 72-foot seat wall, planting flowering trees and vines and reviving a faded flower bed

ture and the automatic irrigation system also repaired. Many families will enjoy the beauty spot this summer and in the years to come. “Christopher and his helpers did a great job to improve this picnic area. We are continuing to improve the site further after his project’s contribution,” said Nelson Kirk, Grounds Supervisor, Union City Public Works Department. Lin became a Boy Scout midway through the eighth grade. After four-and-a-half years, he has earned all 21 merit badges that are required for Eagle. A dozen are

In his search for a suitable undertaking for his Eagle Scout Project, while volunteering for several other friends’ projects in the area, he took the initiative by asking if other improvements were needed. The project took 10 months from start to finish. Preparation entailed many drafts of the project proposal for eventual approval by both the Troop Committee and the District. The final version contained 70-pages. The process of constant revision taught Lin much about writing plans and how to motivate himself and others. He is grateful

he past few months have been marked by positive momentum for the California high-speed train project. There have been new funding announcements, major developments in planning and burgeoning partnerships from the federal government to small business owners. New funding Strong federal support for California’s high-speed rail project continued with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s announcement of more than $300M in additional funding, bringing the total federal funding for this true high-speed rail project to more than $3.5 billion. Combined with matching state funds, California now has more than $6.3 billion to invest in the development of its statewide high-speed train project. The new money was awarded to California to extend the initial Central Valley construction segment north toward Merced, funding the track and civil work from Fresno to the junction which will provide a connection to San Jose and San Francisco to the west and

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Merced and ultimately Sacramento to the north. In a letter introducing the state's application for funding, Governor Brown wrote: “California’s application seeks funding for projects that will be the building blocks for a statewide network of rail lines linking high-speed and intercity rail lines to regional rail lines. The projects will provide the foundation for a transportation system that will improve mobility, help the environment, reduce energy dependency and put Californians to work.” “President Obama and Vice President Biden’s vision for a national rail system will help ensure America is equipped to win the future with the fastest, safest and most efficient transportation network in the world,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. “The investments we’re making today will help states across the country create jobs, spur economic development and boost manufacturing in their communities.” Moving toward a statewide system Cities across California will soon be able to look to the California HighSpeed Rail Authority for help in planning development around high-speed train stations along the proposed 800mile route. The Authority Board ap-

proved a policy outlining a funding opportunity in which the Authority can enter into local-state funding agreements to provide up to 40 percent of the cost for locally-led station area planning studies, not to exceed $200,000. The state funding can be used in addition to any federal funding for station area planning such as the $500,000 in federal funding for station design in Merced and Bakersfield and $4.5M total for state area planning in Fresno, Visalia/Kings, Bakersfield, Merced, Palmdale, Gilroy and San Jose. "Local communities know their own needs, challenges and opportunities and are in the best position to shape development around high-speed rail stations,” said Curt Pringle, chairman of the Authority Board. The Authority released its Urban Design Guidelines, a comprehensive planning guide for cities across the state. The guide provides domestic and international examples of station area design, urban design and transit-oriented development and features diagrams of successful public places that promote livability and transit use. The California High-Speed Rail Authority Board recently approved beginning a conceptual study of a possible

May 27, 2011

alignment between Bakersfield and Los Angeles – an alignment that would generally follow Interstate 5, along the route known as the Grapevine – to determine if it may be considered as a feasible additional alternative along with the two Antelope Valley alignments being studied to connect Bakersfield to Los Angeles. The California High-Speed Rail Authority set aside more than $30M in federal funding for property acquisition and railway development at Los Angeles Union Station, a key terminus for the high-speed rail system. The money was included in a recent grant agreement with the Federal Railroad Administration outlining the use of federal funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). "Metro is thrilled to learn of the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s intent to invest newly acquired federal funds into Southern California,” said L.A County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Don Knabe. “Metro looks forward to working closely with the High-Speed Rail Authority to make the kind of investments that will be beneficial to both agencies as we build a 21st continued on page 7

Century transportation network that will give L.A. County travelers a welcome alternative to traffic and rising gas prices.” Growing partnerships California opened its doors to private companies – small and large, privately and publicly owned, domestic and international, in all relevant fields – to seek their interest in participating in the development of California’s high-speed rail system, the largest infrastructure project in the nation. The High-Speed Rail Authority received approximately 1,100 responses. Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom then welcomed attendees to an industry forum in Los Angeles that drew about 1,500 attendees from around the world for an opportunity to hear an in-depth project update and news about next steps. Small and large contractors were able to begin making contact with each other and speak with Authority staff. In this year’s State of the Union address, President Obama shared his vision for a nation united by high-speed rail and specifically cited California’s project as an example of great promise and progress. “The private sector needs to see a strong signal that our federal government is committed to the development of high-speed rail before it will invest significantly – and President Obama’s pledge to redouble infrastructure development is the exact sign the private sector needs to have confidence that the United States is in for the long haul to develop high-speed rail here. Californians are already doing their part to invest in and develop a fast, clean and low-cost transportation system here, and we are happy to have the partnership of our federal government and congressional delegation. California is well on its way to beginning construction of our high-speed train system next year, to creating jobs in the nearterm and continued economic strength in the long-term,” responded California High-Speed Rail Authority CEO Roelof van Ark. The Authority is in the process of establishing

a policy encouraging participation in project contracts by small businesses and disabled veterans’ business enterprises. As it currently reads, the policy calls for minimum contracting goals of 25 percent for small businesses and three percent for disabled veteran-owned businesses, reflecting current practices already being implemented by the Authority. “Small businesses are the backbone of California’s economy, making up 90 percent of all businesses in the state,” said Curt Pringle, Chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. “We are going to spend more than $40 billion on contracts to construct a statewide high-speed rail system and we need to strongly include small businesses in that equation.” The Authority is also developing an outreach program to encourage the participation of minority - and women-owned businesses in building the state’s high-speed train project. On behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Board Chairman Curt Pringle signed a cooperative agreement with the United Kingdom to exchange high-speed rail planning, design and operations information. The Authority has several partnerships in place with countries around the world that have successfully operated highspeed rail for many years. The California High Speed Rail Authority encourages attendance at a high-speed rail conference hosted by the Government of Spain on June 3, 2011 in San Francisco. The conference promises an informative discussion about Spain's renowned high-speed rail network, a popular, profitable and competitive system.

(AP), May 13 - School officials say the students at a Pennsylvania school are getting sandwiches for lunch for failing to appreciate the hot meals the district provides. The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports the prekindergarten through eighth-grade students at Camp Curtain School have received cold sand-

wiches this week as punishment for misbehavior, including failure to clean up after themselves. An administrator tells the newspaper that behavior has improved.

Wrong number: Drug suspect calls Texas officer AP WIRE SERVICE BROWNWOOD, Texas (AP), May 20 - Police say a West Texas couple has been arrested after the husband mistakenly called an officer's mobile phone twice and allegedly arranged a drug swap. Brownwood police Assistant Chief James Fuller says the man misdialed Wednesday and reached Officer Aaron Taylor, who told the caller he had the wrong number. Fuller told The Associated Press that the man

called Taylor back and asked about ``trying to get some weed.'' The Brownwood Bulletin reports the officer offered to swap marijuana for prescription drugs, then met with and arrested James Dunn and Bertha Dunn. The husband and wife were in the Brown County Jail on Friday, with bond at $10,000 apiece. They face charges of delivery or offering to deliver a dangerous drug. No attorneys were listed for the pair. Information from: Brownwood Bulletin, http://www.brownwoodbulletin

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

s cool weather slowly fades and temperatures rise, families are preparing for another summer filled with outdoor fun. Children and adults will spend more time outdoors playing with their pets. To make the summer more enjoyable, be aware of various summertime hazards that can result in injury or illness to your pets. Keeping you dog cool in the summer While you are having fun, you will need to keep your dog cool to prevent summer heat related illness or injury. Just like people, pets can get sunburned. White and lightly colored pets can suffer sunburns just as we can. Long term sun exposure can lead to skin damage and, in some cases, skin cancers. Every year, thousands of pets are afflicted with heat stroke. Dogs who have a thick coat, heart and lung problems or a short muzzle (pugs, English Bulldogs, Boston terriers, etc.) are at a greater risk for heat stroke. When humans overheat we are able to cool down by sweating. However, dogs do not sweat. They require panting for evaporative cooling. Unfortunately, this system can be overwhelmed on really hot days or with exertion. If your dog is overheating he will appear sluggish, unresponsive, and disoriented.

It is important to limit exercise or excessive activity on hot summer days. Don’t leave pets in parked cars for any period of time. During the hot spell in May, I treated an English bulldog that had a temperature of 108.8 degrees! Fortunately, we were able to save his life and return him to normal function. If your dog exhibits any signs of heat stroke, treat it as an emergency and immediately take him to an urgent care facility. Foxtails “Foxtails” are a sharp cluster of grasses that can become a health hazard for dogs and cats. They are notoriously common in this area. Around this time of year, foxtails become dry and fall to the ground. They are then blown with the wind and easily attach to fur by their barbs. Muscular movements cause the foxtails to burrow into the skin and organs. Foxtails are also notorious for getting into the nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouth. It is recommended to keep pets on established paths, avoiding brush. Combing fur immediately after walking helps dislodge and remove foxtails. If you suspect your pet has a foxtail, immediately take him to your veterinarian. Practically speaking, once a foxtail is imbedded somewhere it is probably not coming out. Presently, we are seeing 5-6 cases daily of foxtailrelated problems.

Outdoor threats Summer holidays are perfect for barbecues, pool parties, and picnics. It may be very tempting to share the leftover barbecue and potato chips, but they should be left alone. These can cause gastro-intestinal problems as well as pancreatitis. Keep your pet leashed when you leave your yard. There is usually an upswing of dog fights during summer as more pets are outdoors. Protect your pets from insects such as fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and flies by using monthly flea preventives. With a little caution, summertime can be an enjoyable time for both you and your pet.

Summit to address mental health of older adults

continued from page 5

“Successful completion of the project means I am a step closer to earning my Eagle and is a major accomplishment. Becoming an Eagle Scout means a lot to me. First, it means I have reached and attained the highest rank of scouting; it’s a great honor for a young individual. It also means I’m slowly closing a chapter of my life and the completion of my Eagle would be the crowning achievement of stage of my scouting career,” reflected Lin. The 17-year old will attend UCLA in the Fall. In the meantime, he plans to pass his “Board of Review,” complete his Eagle and graduate from high school.

Police: Pa. man texted buddy to prepare burglary AP WIRE SERVICE MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP), Apr 15 - A western Pennsylvania man is jailed on charges he burglarized a former high school friend's home after text messaging the victim to ensure he wasn't home. Thirty-one-year-old James Hill, of Murrysville, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and is awaiting trial on burglary and other charges. Murrysville police say this incident happened on April 4, and that they're investigating similar incidents in-

volving at least two other former classmates at Franklin Regional High School. Police say the homeowner left work and saw Hill exiting the residence and called police after another friend saw Hill entering the home through the garage and alerted the victim. Police say Hill pawned jewelry he stole to support a drug habit. Hill's attorney says his client "feels bad about what he did" but says the incident isn't as simple as police described.

Attorney General subpoenas loan processor LPS SUBMITTED BY OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

ttorney General Kamala D. Harris has subpoenaed Lender Processing Services, Inc. (LPS) as part of her continuing probe into "robosigning" of mortgage documents and other illegal activities in the mortgage servicing industry, especially misconduct affecting borrowers facing, or in the midst of, foreclosure. Robosigning is the practice of signing documents used by banks or mortgage servicing companies to foreclose on borrowers without verifying their accuracy - often thousands of different documents signed by a single individual per day. In many cases, the robosigners do not read or understand the document they are signing. "California homeowners have been exposed to fraud and crime at every step of the mortgage process," said Harris. "Justice demands we come to their aid and a key step is to investigate robosigning and the potential for inaccurate or unjust foreclosures." Former LPS employees have testified that LPS designees "robosigned" foreclosure documents. LPS prepared and recorded these foreclosure doccontinued on page 17

uments on behalf of many of the largest mortgage lenders and servicers in the country. Harris’ investigative subpoena, issued on May 25, requires LPS to produce documents and provide written answers to questions from the Attorney General's office. The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2007, until just before the compliance date, which is no later than June 24, 2011. LPS, based in Jacksonville, Florida, with several offices in California, provides loan management services to mortgage lenders, including document preparation services and a software platform used by much of the mortgage industry. According to its website, LPS systems are used for servicing more than 50 percent of all mortgages in the United States and more than 80 financial institutions contract with LPS to service more than 30 million loans with an outstanding principal balance exceeding $4.5 trillion. Harris warned that the risks posed by robosigning are particularly dangerous in non-judicial foreclosure states such as California, where the courts typically are not involved in overseeing the foreclosure process. On May 23, 2011, the Attorney General announced the creation of a Mortgage Fraud Strike Force, staffed by two dozen Department of Justice attorneys and investigators to monitor and prosecute violations at every step of the mortgage process, from the origination of mortgage loans to the marketing of mortgagebacked securities to the investing public.

Report: Water quality good at California's beaches AP WIRE SERVICE LOS ANGELES (AP), May 25 - A study finds California beachgoers are generally enjoying good water quality but next year they may be swimming at their own risk because of funding cuts to sampling. Santa Monica-based Heal the Bay on Wednesday released a study of bacteria in water samples taken by local agencies at 445 beaches from Humboldt County in Northern California to the Mexico border. The group assigned a grade to beaches based on testing done from April 2010 to March 2011. Ninety percent of beaches received A or B grades. Among the most polluted beaches were Santa Cruz's Cowell Beach, Avalon Harbor Beach on Catalina Island and Cabrillo Beach in Los Angeles harbor but Santa Monica Pier got top grades after a $2 million cleanup. The state water board funded the program through 2011.

The charity event is produced to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, an organization which was created by congress to honor the memory of firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as to provide support and assistance for those firefighters’ families.

“When a son or daughter or mother or dad or loved one is lost, no one wants to forget them,” said event organizer and Fremont Fire Battalion Chief Rich Dickinson. “When they pay that ultimate sacrifice, they want to be remembered. So it’s a way to remember them; to honor them; and it’s a way to provide some support for their families.”

While continuing to train and prepare for their upcoming competition at the State Games of America in San Diego, the team took time to appear and perform May 15 at “Ice Pop,” a spring ice show being held at their home training facility, Nazareth Ice Oasis, in Redwood City. In addition to competing, the team makes itself available to skate and perform at benefit shows and exhibitions throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in support of charitable causes.

The Fremont tournament is one of over 30 golf tournaments held nationwide in support of the foundation. According to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Golf Tournament website, the tournaments last year raised a total of $286,000 for the foundation.

SUBMITTED BY CASEY JENNINGS When I was in sixth grade, I was on the Niles Elementary basketball team.

a three-year period. First and foremost, you have to be athletically able to play on three varsity teams for the next three years. Luckily for me, I was given the talent and the ability to make those teams. That being said, for me, that was the easiest part of making my goal possible. Keeping my grades up from beginning to end is what I had to work hardest at. Playing sports involves practices every day, starting in June for football, concluding at the end of May in baseball. When was I going to study? I found that most practices ended about 7 p.m. with weekend practices occurring more than less. I would come home, shower, eat dinner with my family, then hit the books, sometimes till mid-

night or 1 a.m. You can not be tired and study well. And forget about a normal social life. But I found that I like sports, getting good grades became a challenge to me. I didn’t always succeed. Chemistry my junior year involved tutoring three times a week along with algebra II tutoring twice a week, and I still ended up in summer school for chemistry (I got an A though). The hardest part of studying was sitting still (not part of my make up) after a long school day and a hard practice. The challenge in the end was worth it. I am hoping to finish with a 3.5 overall GPA. After grades, staying healthy became a constant worry. I watched as teammates began to have injuries such as broken ankles, broken arms, separated

shoulders and, oh yeah, the simplest things like the flu. As a kid, I suffered from severe migraines. After trips to the emergency room, my doctor realized sleep and hydration were things that I needed to work on. I had to work hard to make sure I ate properly, drank plenty of water, and got my rest, which wasn’t easy with my sports and study schedule. Stretching and exercise was also necessary if I was going to avoid sports injuries. In the end, while I worked hard, a certain amount of luck was also needed.

May 27, 2011

SUBMITTED BY THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

igures released on May 24 by Attorney General Kamala D. Harris show the homicide rate in California fell during 2010 to reach the lowest level since 1966. Preliminary figures gathered by the Department of Justice from the state's largest jurisdictions show a year-onyear decline in reported homicides of 6 percent. "The fall in homicides and other violent crimes reflects our peace officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tireless efforts," said Harris. "My office is committed to supporting their brave, relentless and selfless work to protecting Californians from hardened criminals." Overall, the number of violent crimes fell by 6.4 percent in 2010, according to statistics from 89 agencies that report about 65 percent of all crimes committed annually in the state. Forcible rape declined 6 percent; robbery dropped 8.9 percent and aggravated assault fell 4.6 percent. In 2010, property crimes declined 2.2 percent. Burglary dropped 0.9 percent. Motor vehicle theft declined 7.2 percent. Arson dropped 15 percent. Larceny under $400 fell 4.9 percent. Only larceny over $400 rose, by 0.7 percent. The 2010 figures are a preliminary update of the annual report "Crime in California 2009," which was released earlier this year. The report, which was compiled using data submitted to the Department of Justice by police and sheriffs in the state's 58 counties, showed the homicide rate in California fell in 2009 by nearly 9 percent. A second report, "Homicides in California 2009," provides an even more detailed analysis. Homicides dropped from 2,143 in 2008 to 1,970 in 2009. That marked the fourth consecutive year of decline and a numerical decline of 5 percent since 2000. One troubling note is the number of gang-related homicides between 2008 and 2009 increased 18 percent, accounting for almost 40 percent of all homicides in California where the contributing circumstances were reported. The falling homicide rate was mirrored by the rates of other violent crimes which dropped in every category in 2009: robbery declined 8.6 per-

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HAPPENINGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TRI-CITY VOICE

cent; aggravated assault, 5.5 percent and rape, 3 percent. The majority (70.5 percent) of homicides in 2009 in the state involved firearms. Gun deaths accounted for more than 84 percent of victims, ages 18 to 29, but just slightly more than 51 percent of victims aged over 40. Knives were used in 15.1 percent of 2009 homicides; hands and feet, 5.5 percent; clubs and other blunt objects, 5.3 percent; rope, drugs and all other weapons, 3.6 percent. Thirty-five percent of 2009 homicides, where the contributing circumstances were reported, occurred because of an argument. Another 8.4 percent occurred as the result of rape, burglary or robbery. Another 2.5 percent were drug-related, a decrease from 3 percent in 2008. In cases where police could determine relationships, the majority of victims were killed by friends or acquaintances. Less than 30 percent were killed by strangers; the rest by family members. There were more Hispanic homicide victims than Caucasian, African Americans or members of other ethnic groups; they accounted for 46.6 percent of all homicides in 2009. Among those arrested in 2009 for homicide, 90 percent were male and 10 percent were female. Men were victims 82.2 percent of the time; women, 17.8 percent. Females were more likely to be killed in their residences, while men were more likely to be killed on streets or sidewalks. Gang-related homicides claimed more male victims than any other factor (46.2 percent). Domestic violence claimed more female homicide victims (41.3 percent). Homicide victims under the age of 5 overwhelmingly died as a result of child abuse (almost 90 percent). Among the state's 35 largest counties in 2009, Monterey County had the highest homicide rate per 100,000 population (11.8 percent), and Napa County had the lowest (0.7 percent). Merced County had the second highest rate (10.1 percent). The reports "Homicide in California 2009" and "Crime in California 2009" are available at www.ag.ca.gov.

BY ALAN L. OLSEN, MANAGING PARTNER GREENSTEIN, ROGOFF, OLSEN AND CO., LLP Are you an entrepreneur at heart? Many Americans idolize the American Dream; the “get rich quickly” mentality. But, how many make it happen? Starting a business requires hard work; and even then it is not guaranteed that it will succeed. In fact, in the US, only 51% of businesses survive past their first five years of start-up1. So, how do you start a business that will thrive? There is no perfect formula, but the following tips may help you with your start-up: 1. Write a Business Plan. A business plan is a formal document which includes business goals and the plans for reaching those goals. When writing your business plan be sure to include the purpose of your business, operational and financial objectives, and a marketing plan. For more information on how to write your business plan see http://www.groco.com/readingroom/businessplan.aspx. 2. Create a business account. As you start your own business, where will you get funding? Whether financing through a loan or personal resources, once you have the funds to start your business, set up a business account. This will help you to stay organized and start record keeping. Some individuals are great at what they do, but their

business fails because of a lack of financial organization. 3. Develop a Marketing Strategy. Have you ever wondered how some of the wellknown fast food chains became so popular? Marketing is the answer. If you can get your name in the public eye, odds of your business succeeding will increase. A cheap and easy way to start marketing is through social media. There are several resources when using this method. Simply determine who your target audience is and start branding your name. Developing a marketing strategy will help your business succeed. 4. Be aware of your Tax Obligations. It would be wise to determine what tax bracket you are in and file your tax returns timely. You can approximate business taxes that you will owe by setting aside a percentage of all profits that you bring in. Many business owners overlook their tax obligation and find themselves in a financial bind when tax deadlines come along. To approximate what tax bracket you will be in see http://www.groco.com/tools/taxra teguide11.aspx. 5. Keep track of all start-up expenses. Be sure to track all of your business start-up expenses, as you may be able to deduct many of them. Keeping organized records will benefit you. For more information on determining what expenses are deductible see http://www.groco.com/readingroom/bus_startupexpenses.aspx.

the basketball court; and spring breaks were spent on the baseball diamond at various tournaments. My friends were always mad because I couldn’t do as much with them as they wanted. Luckily my teammates many times became friends. They understood the schedule. My girlfriend, who was a cheerleader, had to work hard just like me, so that helped keep us both busy. I am not saying I was happy giving up a social life, but I was able to work around it, and still have fun. Besides, being busy kept us out of trouble, which allowed my focus to stay on school and sports. Good study habits, learning to schedule my day, keeping myself healthy and learning to persevere are all going to help me in life; they are also going to get me the White Sweater. It was all worth it. Editor’s note: Jennings was awarded with the White Sweater award at Washington High School on Thursday, May 19.

American High School football player Deshane Hines has had outstanding performances during this off season. Deshane recently competed at the Nike SPARQ Combine at Laney College, as well as at the invitation-only Nike Football Training Camp at Stanford University where he had a solid performance. There were close to 1,100 athletes that attended the combine and Deshane was one of 25 to make the Nike Oakland all-combine team. Selections are based on combine performance and projected college recruitability. Deshane also shined at the Northern California Blue-Grey Combine at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. His performance earned him an invite to the Blue-Grey National Super Combine. This event, which features 200 elite high school recruits from 36 states, is held at the NFL Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, June 17-18.

This showcase will also serve as a pool to select a North and South team to compete in the nationally televised Blue-Grey All Star Game in January, 2012. We wish him the best of luck as he competes at the national level.

In the latest Wrestling USA Magazine, in which they unveiled its 2011 All-American teams, Katie Burdick of Newark Memorial High School was named to the Girls Scholastic All-American team.

eighth in steals. For the second straight season she was the team leader in ejections drawn with 104, more than twice as many as the next highest total on the squad. In leading the team to a program-best fourth-place showing at the WWPA Championship, Pierce scored seven goals in three games, helping East Bay pick up an upset win over Colorado State in the first round. Pierce scored four goals in the victory over the Rams, getting redemption for both the late season loss and a defeat in the first round of the 2010 WWPA Tournament to CSU. In just two seasons with Cal State East Bay, Pierce has already made her presence felt in the record books, posting 170 career goals to move into second on the all-time list. She also ranks fourth all time with 151 career steals.

In the classroom, Pierce is equally as impressive, earning a 3.86 grade point average in her first two years. The kinesiology major also earned both WWPA and ACWPC All-Academic honors as a freshman. With the latest honor, Pierce will now be eligible to collect Capital One Academic All-America honors to be released later this month. Pierce is the first Pioneer water polo player to earn the prestigious honor and is the only student-athlete from the WWPA to be named to the team. The Capital One Academic All-District Women's AtLarge teams are comprised of the top student-athletes both in and out of the competitive arena from any sport other than soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country and track. Nominees are required to be a starter or important reserve with sophomore or higher academic standing and at least a 3.3 grade point average.

Once bullish, contrarian Jim Grant likes cash now BY BERNARD CONDON AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP), May 20 - Jim Grant quotes obscure dead economists at length. He pines for an earlier time of gas lights and top hats when the dollar was convertible to gold. He wears bowties. Prolific author, gold bug, droll chronicler of Wall Street folly, Grant would be easy to dismiss as an entertaining but irrelevant throwback if he hadn't been proven so right so often. Now, as small investors are putting more money into markets, the publisher of the biweekly Grant's Interest Rate Observer is warning of new dangers. He says prices are too high for nearly every asset you can think of - stocks, junk bonds, Treasury bonds, British gilts, even Iowa corn fields. With its wry observations about investor self-delusion, Grant's newsletter ($910 for an annual subscription) has become a sort of bible among the bold and bearish alike. Though detractors say he's far too negative, he's been praised for some timely calls. In the 1980s, he warned of an overheated junk bond market before it collapsed. He foretold of the bursting of the tech bubble in the late 1990s, and revealed the false alchemy of Wall Street's mortgage packaging business before housing crashed four years ago. Occasionally, he's gotten bullish at the right time, too. Amid the panicked selling of late 2008, Grant told readers to

load up on investment grade bonds, junk bonds, even a few of those much-derided mortgage securities. Some picks have more than doubled since. A graduate of Indiana University, Grant, 64, was a Navy gunner's mate before starting his journalism career at the Baltimore Sun in 1972. He then joined the financial weekly Barron's before starting Grant's Interest Rate Observer in 1983. He's also written seven books, mostly financial histories and profiles. His first book was on Bernard Baruch, the pre-WWI financier and advisor to presidents. His latest is a profile of Thomas Reed, an acerbic and witty Speaker of House over 100 years ago. As stocks were falling last week, Grant visited The Associated Press in New York to talk about why it's not just stock investors who should be worried. Below are excerpts, edited for clarity, from a wide-ranging conversation in which he lit into the Federal Reserve for our current troubles, warned of 10 percent inflation and waxed nostalgic for a time when Washington had the courage to let prices fall in crises rather than goose them up and prolong our agony. Q: What's your view of the stock market? A: The Federal Reserve has unilaterally taken it upon itself to levitate asset prices. It is suppressing interest rates. When you're not getting anything on your savings, you are inclined to go out and buy something, anything, to generate either in-

come or the expectation of capital gains. So the things that we take as prices freely determined are in fact manipulated. A few months ago, (Fed Chairman) Ben S. Bernanke, Ph.D., the former chairman of the Princeton economics department, stood before the cameras of CNBC and said that the Russell 2000 is making new highs. The Russell! He sounded like another stock jockey. He was taking credit for new highs in the small cap equities index. The Fed, as never before, or rarely before, is now the steward of this bull market. One wonders what it will do if stocks pull back significantly. Q: Are stocks overvalued? A: Some big multinationals left behind in the past ten years (like) Wal-Mart, Cisco Systems, Johnson & Johnson appear to be attractively priced. But generally speaking, things are rich. Q: What would you have done in the financial crisis if you had been in Bernanke's position? A: Resign. I don't know. I have great faith in the price mechanism, in the mechanics of markets. I think there should have been much less intervention and we should have let some chips fall, many chips fall. Before the Great Depression, there was a great depression (lower case `g') in 1920-21. Within 18 months, the GDP was down double digits and commodity prices collapsed. Harry Truman lost his haberdashery in Kansas City. It was very painful, but it ended. And the Fed, during that depression, actually raised its

discount rate and the Treasury ran a surplus. The reason it ended was the so-called real balance effect that is, prices came down and people with savings saw things that were cheap and they invested. That's the fast and ugly approach. The slow and ugly approach is to mitigate, temporize and forestall to give us time to work ourselves out of difficulties. That's the current approach. I think it's intended to be a more humane approach, but I wonder about its humanity. I mean these college kids get out of school and they've got nothing. It's awful - 9 percent unemployment and going nowhere except sideways. Q: But Bernanke has succeeded by some measures. Big companies are flush with cash, their profits are on track to hit a record this year and the riskiest among them are raising money at the lowest rates ever. Who could have imagined this during the depths of the financial crisis? A: Let's go back to the previous cycle of 2002-3. Cisco Systems was for 15 minutes the costliest company on the face of the earth, and digital technology was about to raise every human being out of poverty. OK, so that cycle ends - Bang! with general disarray in the stock market. What do we do? Well, we press down interest rates and we give residential real estate a little helping hand. What's not to like? Home ownership rates are rising. Stocks are up. Risky companies are issuing debt at levels never

before imagined. Who would have dreamt such an outcome was possible after the tech bust? And that ended noisily and here we are again and our monetary masters have devised new, even more audacious methods of stimulus. In three or four years we'll look back and say, `Can you believe we fell for this again?' Q: You've been warning about higher inflation for a while. How imminent is it? A: I've been all wrong on this. I thought that this massive monetary stuff would generate the conventional kind of inflation that would be expressed in much higher CPI readings. Not so far. But all things are cyclical and the seemingly impossible is just around the corner. On September 30, 1981, the 30-year US Treasury bond traded at 14 7/8 percent and I remember some crank, some visionary, was talking about how interest rates were going to zero, you watch. Oh, yeah right. And so it came to pass. It does seem improbable that the inflation rate would ever get beyond 3.5 percent, let alone knock on the door of 10 percent. But I'm here to tell you it's going to 10 percent. Q: Won't policymakers come down hard if we get even 6 percent inflation and try to lower that? A: Sometimes they can't control things. We had 6 percent inflation before. Washington is full of well-intentioned people. Ben Bernanke keeps saying that what we really need is a little inflation. He says we'll

May 27, 2011

get 2 percent or a little bit more. You shouldn't even think that, let alone say it out loud. That's such bad luck to tempt fate by saying that you can calibrate things like that. You can't do that. Q: So with inflation ahead, are you buying gold at $1,480 an ounce? A: I am not buying it now. I have bought it in the past. Gold is a very difficult investment because its value is indeterminate. It is the reciprocal of the world's confidence in the likes of Ben Bernanke. I think the price will go higher. Q: When did you first buy gold? A: Well, my first misadventure with gold was standing in a queue in front of the Nicholas Deak currency and coin shop, which was on lower Broadway. And it might have been January of 1980 at the very peak but if not then, it was late 1979. I almost top ticked it. That was before I learned never to stand in line to buy an asset. You always want to go where nobody else is in line. Q: Let's talk about the dollar. Washington says it wants a strong dollar. A: It's disingenuous when

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HAPPENINGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TRI-CITY VOICE

(Treasury Secretary) Tim Geithner says he's for a strong dollar. What he means to say is the economy stinks and we need even greater oomph from our exports and for that we would like a much lower dollar in a measured, managed kind of decline. That's what he wants, and he wants it by November 2012. Q: What's wrong with a weak dollar? Caterpillar recently said it is nearly doubling its capital spending because the weak dollar allows it to sell more overseas. It plans to spend much of that on factories in the U.S., paying construction workers to build them and hiring people to work in them. A: Well, that is the Caterpillar story. The whole manufacturing story in the U.S. is very sunny, and it's in part due to the state of the dollar. But if (prosperity) were as easy as debasing one's currency, think of all the countries that would be prosperous that are rather the opposite. Argentina would be booming. And Weimar Germany would not be a story of failure but of success. If the world were to lose confidence in (the dollar) we

would suddenly be in a much less advantageous financial position. The U.S. is uniquely privileged in that we alone may pay our bills in the currency that only we may lawfully print. That's our prerogative as the reserve-currency country. But it has seduced us into a state of complacency. We never actually pay the rate of interest that we might be expected to pay - the real rate of interest on Treasury debts. It's great for now that we're paying 2.5 percent or whatever on our public debt. But wouldn't it be better if there were an accurate price signal that was telling us that we're borrowing too much? Q: If investors lose their faith in the dollar, what would replace it? A: I think there will be a gold standard again in your lifetime, if not mine. It's the only answer to the question, if not the dollar, then what? Q: Where should people put their money now? A: The trouble with the present is that nothing is actually cheap. My big thought is that our crises are becoming ever closer in time. The recov-

Page 31

ery time from the Great Depression was 25 years. The stock market peaked in 1929. It got back there in 1954. We had a peak in 2000, crash, levitation, then the biggest debt crisis in anybody's memory. The cycles are becoming compressed. The temptation to become invested at peaks of these shorter cycles is ever greater. Perhaps one way to proceed is to hold cash at the opportunity cost of not much in Treasury bills. You make nothing, but you want to have this money when things are absolutely, not just relatively, cheap. This time of full or overvaluation shall pass. On recent form, it'll pass in a thunderclap and there will be a panic and it'll seem as if the world's ending. And that's when somebody who is nimble can get fully invested in a comfortable way. It won't feel comfortable, it will feel awful, but I think that's the way to do it. I mean everything (you could invest in) is either uninteresting or rich, it seems to me. Q: What about Treasury bonds? A: I think it's useful to imagine how things might look ten years hence. What will

one's children, heirs or successors think about a purchase today of ten-year Treasurys at 3.25 percent? They'll look back and say, `What were they thinking?' The (federal deficit) was running at 10 percent of GDP, the Fed had pressed its interest rates to zero, it had tripled the size of its balance sheet, and they bought bonds? Treasurys are hugely uninteresting, as is similar government debt the world over. Q: Any last thoughts? A: Because the Fed has coaxed or cajoled people into stocks, including many financial non-professionals, I think it has moral ownership of the market in a way that no recent Fed has had. Either the stock market owns the Fed, or vice versa but they are too intertwined now. If stocks pull back by 20 percent, how can Bernanke just sit there and say, `I want a bear market?' I think he has some moral responsibility for the finances of the nonprofessionals who bought. Q: Does this mean the Fed might announce QE 3, a third round of quantitative easing to lower rates and raise stock prices?

Solar power purchase agreement BY ABRAHAM CRUZ

www.bjtravelfremont.com

The California Solar Initiative program encourages solar energy installations as financially feasible energy sources for public agencies. On February 16, 2010, Milpitas City Council elected to participate in a nine-agency Silicon Valley collaborative Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to purchase solar energy at a reasonable cost. The PPA financing model is a “third party” ownership model that requires a separate, taxable entity (solar power provider) to provide financing, design, construction, installation, operations and maintenance of the solar panels on public agency facilities. The PPA is a long-term contract under which 100 percent of the electricity generated by solar panel installations is purchased from the solar power provider. A decision to utilize solar energy is partly due to PG&E’s power rates which have long-term trend averages of between five and seven percent annual increases. Financial benefits of installing solar panels are: $48,125 first-year energy savings, $140,581 by the fifth year, $228,522 by the tenth year, and $3.9M in energy-cost savings over the life of the PPA contract. Perhaps most attractive is that the PPA will have zero cost to the city. Some of PPA contract’s key terms and conditions are: solar panels maintained and operated by the

solar provider for 20 years; minimum solar power production guaranteed of at least 80 percent with first option to purchase additional power (110 percent maximum); buyout option for the city to purchase the solar installations after 10 years for fair market value; prices charged per kilowatt with capped, three-percent annual increases; and assurance the solar provider will remove all equipment at the end of the term. The City will also own the Renewable Energy Credits, valued at less than $0.01/khw, which will increase over time. A request for proposals seeking solar power providers was issued. Borrego Solar and Ecoplexus, Inc. were selected for medium and small installation categories. Milpitas submitted a list of 16 facilities as potential installation of solar panels and entered into negotiations with Borrego Solar on December 7, 2010; however, Borrego and the city did not agree final financial terms. Ecoplexus has completed its site engineering, construction cost estimates and financial analysis for the same sites that Borrego considered. City staff is negotiating the final cost terms with Ecoplexus. There are also some provisions in the contract that would protect the city from loss. If solar-panel performance does not meet expectations, Ecoplexus would remove the panels at no cost to the city.

Furthermore, Ecoplexus will reimburse the city if energy production is less than 80 percent. Independent consultant Optomy, Inc. advised all the PPA stakeholders and checked the operational and performance data submitted by the solar-panel manufacturers. Three types of solar panels will be used for the project: carport, roof-mounted and groundmounted. The PPA has approved roof-mounted solar panels for the Milpitas Library garage and the Gibraltar Water Pump Station. Areas with insufficient space are excluded from consideration. City Hall, some fire stations and pump stations are excluded because there is not enough roof space to meet the buildings’ power demands. Additional sites under negotiation are the Main Sewage Pump Station and Corp Yard, Milpitas Sports Center, Senior Center, Community Center, Public Works/Police Department and Fire Station Number One. Council authorized the City Manager to execute a solar power purchase agreement, as of May 17, 2011. Construction and commissioning is set to begin by September 1, 2011, and the system should be on line by March 30, 2012. For more information, www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov or contact City Engineer and Public Works Director Greg Armendariz at (408) 586-3317.

Guinness Records: Smokey the cat is really loud AP WIRE SERVICE LONDON (AP), May 05 - It's official: Smokey the cat has roared her way into Guinness World Records having achieved the loudest purr by a domestic cat. Guinness says the gray-andwhite tabby earned her place with record-setting 67.7 decibels. In a

video on the cat's website, the 12year-old, ordinary-size feline purrs with a sound akin to the cooing of an angry dove. Smokey first rose to prominence in February, when her owner, Ruth Adams, ran a local competition for the most powerful purr. A community college recorded the purr and submitted it to Guinness.

Guinness says the loudest animal sounds are the low-frequency pulses made by blue whales and fin whales when they communicate with each other - sounds that reach 188 decibels. By comparison, a lawnmower is 90 decibels. Online:Smokey's website: http://www.smokeythepurringcat.com

BY MEENU GUPTA PHOTO BY MEENU GUPTA Fremont Police are working to prevent crime on a number of fronts, from focusing on solving more investigations to cutting off crime at its roots through community involvement. Geneva Bosques, Community Engagement Manager with Fremont Police Department believes community initiatives are essential for combating crime. In August, Geneva Bosques will have worked with the City of Fremont for 15 years starting in the City Manager's office, transferring to the Redevelopment Agency in 1996. She joined the Police Department in February 1999 as a Traffic Enforcement Project Manager for two years, Community Engagement Specialist for five years and presently, Community Engagement Manager. Fremont hopes to continue expansion of NIXLE, an internet information service. “Within a year after Fremont Police started distributing public safety notifications using the NIXLE community notification service, Fremont has reached more than 2,500 NIXLE followers,” said Bosques. By sharing the information received, residents not only spread the word but the value of this communication tool as well. This system is most effective with large numbers of subscribers. Residents who haven't signed

The first step is to log on to www. Fremont.gov/CommunityAlert, and follow the links to enroll land-line telephone numbers, cell

numbers, text, e-mail, or all of them. The data collected will only be used for community alerts and notifications. “We are going to expand social media, soon Fremont Police Department will be on Twitter followed by Facebook,” said Bosques. Fremont Police also added a new Neighborhood Crime Watch (NCW) sign to publicize private video surveillance. Believed to be a true partnership between police and the community, video sur-

veillance allows private businesses and residents to take a proactive stance in fighting crime. Suspects wanted in connection with the armed robbery of Don's Antique Auto parts in Fremont's Niles District were caught on surveillance cameras. “We would encourage and accept the information from anyone who is utilizing video surveillance as we see it as a significant benefit in our NCW program," said Bosques. Citizens form neighborhood networks to unite against crime. “We have over 6,000 residents on neighborhood list groups,” said Bosques. Warm Springs Neighborhood Watch group; Fremont Vineyard Hills yahoo group; Niles Neighborhood group; Horatio Polonius Neighborhood group are some of the groups that residents can find on search engines and join. The police department is also working to update its website. “We are going to put up the new website next year in April.” When asked about how the Police Department has dealt with the growing diverse population and dwindling economy she said, “Our staffing may not be as it was eight to nine years ago, but with a positive attitude and by refreshing our ideas we have embraced change. We have begun a healthy dialogue and a healthy relationship with the community. We may not have our front desk open 24 hours, but we do care and we want to do all we can to partner with the community,” said Bosques.

BY MEENU GUPTA Tri-Cities Youth Court (TCYC) helps juvenile first time offenders by providing an opportunity to participate in a restorative justice-based diversion program. Today, more than 1400 youth courts operate in the United States. Serving Fremont, Union City and Newark, Tri-Cities Youth Court is a part of an umbrella organization, Community Youth Courts that includes the Tri Valley Youth Court. Tri Valley Youth Court has been serving the cities of Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin for more than three years. TCYC celebrated its grand opening Wednesday, May 11 at the Fremont Hall of Justice on Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont. The Contra Costa County Youth Court and Eden Township Youth Court's will open soon. “The youth court offers a restorative justice approach to youth offenders by providing them with education, experiences, and resources which encourage them to take responsibility for their actions, and make the decision to get their lives back on track,” said Sharon Hollis, Program Director, Tri-Cities Youth Court. “Ultimately, the youth understands the impact and consequences of their choices, both for the present and the future, and is allowed to see that they have the power to choose a positive or negative direction.” After admitting their guilt, offenders participate in the voluntary program which offers constructive counseling while ensuring respectful treatment of offender. The program empowers culprits through positive peer interaction. It provides another chance to give back to the community. By discouraging repeat offenders of crime, Youth Courts help in reducing crime. TCYC receives the defendant's case from the Police Department or Alameda County Juvenile Probation for offenses that may include petty theft; possession or under the influence; cyber-bullying; traffic; curfew; tobacco; disorderly conduct and vandalism. “We do not have official recidivism numbers yet, but for the Tri- Valley Youth Court, as well as nationwide, the percentage of participants who reoffend is under ten percent,” said Hollis who has also been a volunteer Case Manager for the Tri-Valley Youth Court.

CBC President Tim Vi Tran, 2010 Citizen of the Year Irene Yung, 2010 Volunteer of the Year Michiko Yee, and Garrett Yee

t was a night of warriors, both in traditional garb and incognito, at Citizens for Better Community’s (CBC) 19th Annual Spring Celebration held Saturday, April 23. The fundraising gala welcomed 250 guests to the Marriott Hotel in Fremont where they were treated to fine dining, exciting entertainment, and the opportunity to honor two outstanding women. Founded in 1992, CBC is a nonprofit organization that creates and conducts various programs in the areas of education, health, civic participation, scholarship, internship, and youth leadership. According to President Tim Vi Tran, “We exist to initiate, sponsor and promote community events” while striving to be a “model of excellence in the community.” The Spring Celebration is an opportunity to gathers friends, supporters, donors, and sponsors who have helped throughout the year, as well as to recognize the Citizen and Volunteer of the Year. The evening also looks to the future, touching on what CBC is doing, and where they are headed. In his president’s message, Tran said, “At CBC, we’ve always believed that it is our social responsibility to ensure that our community is well taken care of. In light of the economic challenges, the single most important word to describe our organization is ‘dedication.’ This past year marked a

May 27, 2011

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

crucial but important turning point for us as we continue to mature as a non-profit organization. CBC is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to find comprehensive solutions to our programs. Because of your generosity and donations, we are able to continue to fund our programs. It’s always a challenge to seek new funding in this economic climate but we have prevailed once again.” The evening’s proceeds will support a variety of community programs including Asian American Donor Program, Friends of Children with Special Needs, Feed the Homeless, Fremont Symphony Orchestra, Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program, Vision New America, and TriCity Health Center. He went on to say, “I once heard that there are three types of people in this world: Those who watch what happens, those who make things happen, and those who wondered what happened. As I look across the room this evening, I see movers and shakers with great capacity to make things happen. As we move forward, I challenge each and every one of you to form creative ways so that people can use our services.” Two women who embody the heart and mission of CBC were

honored for their contributions. Irene Yung was recognized as 2010 Citizen of the Year, which is awarded for outstanding leadership in civic and community service. Introduced to CBC in 2000, Yung has a long history of volunteer work, from helping out at her children’s school to involvement in meal plans for the homeless and the Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program. Tran says, “She’s dedicated, working very hard and diligently to make the program a success.” Volunteer of the Year honors outstanding volunteerism to CBC and the community. The 2010 recipient Michiko Yee has spent decades serving the community in numerous ways since she arrived in Fremont in 1964. From church activities, mission trips and school room mother duties to serving as a docent at the Patterson House and organizing teas for the Mission Peak Historic Foundation, Yee is a well-known face of service. “She has been very influential in helping CBC grow as well,” Tran says, stating that Yee was the one who introduced him to CBC. “She is always out there building support in the community,” he says. “She just loves what she does.” The Spring Celebration also

promotes Chinese culture; each year the event committee chooses a city or province in Asia or China on which to build their theme. This year’s theme, “Foshan – Legend of the Warriors, Modern Day Warriors Unleashed,” highlighted the city of Foshan, which is located in the Guangdong Province in southern China. Known as the center of martial arts, the evening’s entertainment naturally followed suit. Demonstrations by Omei Kung Fu Academy of Milpitas, Sun Kung Fu Academy of Fremont, U.S.A. Wu Chi Kung Fu Academy of Fremont, and Wong’s Ji Do Kwan of Fremont provided a delightful martial arts extravaganza. The event was made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of Event Chair Richard Li, Event Coordinator Sharon Yap, and their team of committee members. CBC is always looking for new members as well as donations and sponsorships to further their work, and encourages people to step forward. Tran says, “Growth is going to be what drives us to accomplish our mission.” To learn more about Citizens for Better Community visit http://www.cbcsfbay.org or call (510) 790-0740.

Tobacco decoy operation SUBMITTED BY OFFICER QURESHI In the coming weeks, the Milpitas Police Department will be conducting a tobacco decoy operation to ensure tobacco vendors are in compliance with state laws regarding the sales of tobacco products or paraphernalia to minors. Storeowners and/or clerks found to be in violation of the law may be issued citations. Businesses that have a pattern of selling tobacco products to minors may have their licenses suspended or revoked.

Per 308 (a)(1) of the California Penal Code, selling tobacco products or paraphernalia to anyone under the age of 18 is against the law! To comply with the law, businesses should: * Train employees who sell tobacco products so they understand all the laws and company rules about selling tobacco products. * Make sure employees ask customers for proof of age for anyone who appears to look 30 years-old or younger * Accept only valid identification

(driver’s licenses, passports, government issued identification etc.) Retailers should recognize that under the Milpitas Municipal code, only 25% of the entire window space can be used for advertisement. Please make an effort to ensure that ads which promote the sale of alcohol and tobacco products are limited to the 25% requirement. 1275 N. Milpitas Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035 (408) 586-2400
