City of Milpitas will not host
a ceremony marking the 10-year
anniversary of the deadly terror-
ist attacks of Sept 11, 2001.
Milpitas City Manager Tom
Williams said a lack of interest
from the public forced the
cancellation of the city-spon-
sored event here two years ago.
The last time the event was
held we had no more than five
people show, outside of city staff
that attended, Williams said.
He added Sept. 11 ceremonies
had become more regional events
rather than individual, localized
community events.
Groups in San Jose and Fremont
are both hosting ceremonies.
In San Jose on Sunday, the
San Jose Fire Department will
host a Mass, a memorial march
and a bell-ringing ceremony at
San Jose Fire Station No. 1 at
225 N. Market St.
The Sept. 11 ceremony in San
Jose will begin at 11:30 a.m. to
celebrate Mass at the Cathedral
Basilica of St. Joseph, 80 S.
Market St.
At 12:40 p.m., a somber
memorial march down Market
Street to Fire Station No. 1 will
include firefighters, other public
safety personnel and the public.
At 1 p.m., there will be a
Ringing of the Last Alarm Cere-
mony at Fire Station No. 1
followed by an open house with
refreshments at about 1:20 p.m.
For more information about this
event, visit sanjoseca.gov.
Also in San Jose, an event
remembering the Sept. 11 terror-
ist attacks upon the United
States and the 80th anniversary
of the Sept. 18 Japanese invasion
of China will be held.
The event, called The Road to
Peace: The Sound of Harmony,
will take place at 3:30 p.m. Sunday,
at the Center for the Performing
Arts, at 255 Almaden Blvd., San Jose.
For more information, call
277-5277.
In Fremont, the South Bay
Community Church will hold a
Sept. 11 memorial gathering at
12:30 p.m. at Warm Springs
Community Park at 47300 Fernald
St. City of Fremont officials as well
as Fremont fire and police depart-
ment personnel will be present to
speak. A moment of silence will be
observed to remember those who
lost their lives during the attacks.
The Fremont event will last
about an hour. For more informa-
tion, call Pastor Watson at (510)
490-9500, extension 112 or visit
americantowns.com/ca/fremont/

6338443.
On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 al-
Qaeda terrorists hijacked four
passenger jets United Airlines
flights 93 and 175 and American
Airlines flights 11 and 77 at East
Coast airports. The hijackers
intentionally crashed two planes
into the TwinTowers of the World
Trade Center in New York City,
killing everyone on board and
thousands working in the build-
ings. A third plane was crashed
into the Pentagon in Arlington,
Va., killing 184. The fourth
plane crashed into a field near
Shanksville, Pa. after passengers
attempted to take control of the
aircraft, killing all onboard. Nearly
3,000 people died that day.

Although Milpitas Unified School
District surpassed the latest state guide-
lines according to scores released for
Accountability Progress Reporting by the
California Department of Education Aug.
31, it failed to meet the federal account-
ability system of Adequate Yearly Progress
for the same 2010-11 period.
California ranks all schools on a 1,000-
point scale called the Academic
Performance Index based on how well stu-
dents perform on a variety of tests. A score
of 800 is considered excellent. The yearly
goal is for continuous improvement of 5
percent annually until each school reaches
a score of 800 while the goal for Adequate
Yearly Progress is 11 percent.
Since Congress passed the No Child
Left Behind Act in 2001, the federal gov-
ernment expects schools to educate all
types of students with a goal of everyone
reaching proficiency by 2013-14. These
standards leave a vast majority of school
districts as failing.
In Santa Clara County, 19 of 31 school
districts including Milpitas Unified
and the county Office of Education
arent meeting the federal marks and have
fallen into Program Improvement. At the
same time, though, the county is among
the best in the state, according to API
scores, with 13 of the top 25 elementary
API: Schools surpass state guidelines on tests
But MUSD continues second year in Program Improvement
after failing to meet federal benchmarks

Milpitas City Council on
Tuesday approved the following
agenda items:
I The council unanimously sup-
ported a resolution urging the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration to
have greater regulation of mentho-
lated cigarettes and flavored tobac-
co products, which may result in
greater intake of carcinogens and
nicotine. Mentholated and fla-
vored tobacco products are consid-
ered starter products for youth
who begin smoking. According to
the city-supported resolution,
these tobacco products are aimed
at minority children including
Hispanic, Asian-American and
African-American children ages 12
to 17 years old.
I The council unanimously
approved a fee waiver and in-
kind donation and staffing for
the Milpitas Community TVs
community event at the Milpitas
Civic Center Amphitheater on Oct.
22. The waiver totals $782.50.
approved a fee waiver and in-
kind donation of equipment and
staffing for Milpitas Parks and
Recreation Foundations fourth
annual Festival of Trees gala
fund-raiser at Milpitas City Hall
Dec. 1. The requested fee waiver
totals $1,683.75.
I The council unanimously adopted
an ordinance for amendment to
the contract between the Board of
Administration California Public
Employees Retirement System
and City of Milpitas employees.
The ordinance includes different
levels of city employee benefits; a
2 percent at 60 retirement formu-
la; a three-year final compensation
plan; and related amendments.
adopted a resolution awarding a
$487,667 contract to EcoPlexus
Inc. for the main sewer pump
stations vehicle canopy to be fit-
ted with solar panels.
approved an annex of property
into the Los Coches Residential
Project into the citys community
facilities district. The planned
project would feature 83 single-
family detached homes, private
streets and associated improve-
ments on a 5-acre site off Los
Coches Street, the former site of
Mintons Lumber and Cal Skate
of Milpitas. The annexation will
subject the properties to a special
tax to pay for certain city ser-
vices.
approved a side letter agreement
between City of Milpitas and the
Milpitas Police Officers Association,
related to changes to the California
Public Employees Retirement
System and City of Milpitas. The
changes affect non-sworn miscel-
laneous employees within the
police union.
Prior to the vote, Mayor Jose
Esteves was critical of the police
union for not taking greater steps
toward employee pension reform.
In response, Milpitas City
Manager Tom Williams said as
the MPOAs contract nears its
December 2012 expiration, city
staff at contract negotiations
would seek greater concessions
from police on employee benefits.

A Murphy Ranch Road resi-
dential project, approved four
years ago to include a mix of 659
multi-family units amid high-
tech firms west of Interstate 880,
has started construction on the
apartment phase.
This is part of the Fairfield pro-
ject that was approved in the fall of
2007, James Lindsay, Milpitas
Planning and Neighborhood
Services director, said. The
apartments are under construc-
tion, Fairfield is building them.
The project, called Cerano
Apartments at 501 Murphy
Ranch Road, will feature 374
apartment units and an adjacent
parking structure.
Milpitas City Manager Tom
Williams said the Cerano project
was delayed due to the recession-
ary economy as well as Fairfield
filing for bankruptcy in recent
years.
They filed for Chapter 11
reorganization, so theyre coming
out of that, he said.
Williams said Silicon Valleys
stronger rental market helped
promote the new build out of the
apartment complex that took
years to get underway.
In November 2007, Milpitas
City Council voted 3-2, with
Mayor Jose Esteves and
Councilwoman Althea Polanski
dissenting, to approve San
Diego-based Fairfield Residential
LLCs planned 659-unit residen-
tial project.
The councils approval fol-
lowed multiple meetings that
drew residents and city adminis-
trators, school officials and area
business interests who were
opposed to Fairfields desire to
build 374 apartment units, 285
townhomes and an adjacent two-
acre public park on 21.7 acres of
vacant industrial park land.
Felix Reliford, then the citys
interim planning director, told
council members that the
Murphy Ranch project was
found to be in conflict with the
citys adopted general plan and
would place a strain on the citys
water and sewer capacity.
Noting the areas absence of
schools, libraries and retail as
well as sidewalks, Reliford went
on to call the Murphy Ranch
project an isolated island of res-
idential development in a sea of
industrial park.
Mayor Esteves and Polanski
argued that the Fairfield develop-
ment was of high quality, but
they could not support it due to
its location.
Others on the council like for-
mer vice mayor Bob Livengood
considered the Murphy Ranch
project a model of future housing
as it placed housing close to jobs.
We need to provide housing
and jobs together; it makes sense,
it is smart growth, Livengood
said then.
The councils project approval
converted the Murphy Ranch
Road parcels land use to multi-
family very high-density zoning.
The residential project, situated
in the Milpitas Technology
Center, is surrounded by high-
tech firms such as Cisco Systems,
SanDisk and KLA Tencor.
According to Lindsay, in recent
years, Fairfield sold off the town
home portion to Los Angeles-
based Resmark Companies to
develop 285 attached for-sale
townhomes. The project remains
the same.
This is how the project was
originally approved, Lindsay said.
In an Aug. 31 press release,
Resmark said Murphy Ranch
will be comprised of 285
attached units in two- and three-
story configurations, with a mix
of 144 row townhomes and 141
townhomes and flats in a motor
court configuration. Floor plans
for these units will range from
1,240 to 1,993 square feet.
Murphy Ranch will also offer
a pool, spa and clubhouse, and
will be adjacent to a public park
featuring open space and a sports
court that is nearly complete, as
well as the Coyote Creek Trail.
In addition to other benefits,
the project will create a substan-
tial number of construction jobs
and supply needed housing to
support employment growth in

UNITED WE STAND * IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE VICTIMS OF SEPT. 11, 2001 * MILPITAS, CALIF., U.S.A.
BY SHANNON BARRY
Consulting firm Urban Analytics at the
request of the Milpitas Unified School
District reviewed the range of financial
impacts that pending redevelopment legis-
lation may have.
In January, Gov. Jerry Brown proposed
to dissolve the cities redevelopment agen-
cies by July 1, and the 2011-12 state bud-
get was subsequently adopted taking into
consideration the dissolution. The school
district receives pass-through revenue
from redevelopment agencies.
The San Francisco-based firms princi-
pal, David Mealy, who has more than 25
years of experience with redevelopment,
public finance and planning, shared the
analysis with trustees and those in atten-
dance during the Aug. 23 Board of
Education meeting.
At the time we started doing this we
didnt really know what the legislation was
going to look like, Mealy said.
Milpitas City Council, convening as
the citys redevelopment agency during a
special meeting Aug. 23, unanimously
voted to heed an Aug. 11 California
Supreme Court decision to review a peti-
tion challenging the constitutionality of
two State of California budget bills,
Assembly Bill X1 26 and 27, which call
for the elimination of redevelopment
agencies statewide.
The states high court also granted part
of a stay requested by the petitioners,
California Redevelopment Association
and the League of California Cities, that
essentially prevents redevelopment agen-
cies from being forced to make $1.7 bil-
lion in payments until the supreme court
rules on the merits of the case.
So its a strange situation right now,
Mealy said. What we decided to do was take
a look at the two different outcomes. Each of
those has different impacts to the district.
Under the first scenario, in which the
agencies dissolve, Mealy said remaining
funds not committed to pass-through pay-
ments, debt service on existing redevelop-
ment bonds and other contractual obliga-
tions and administrative expenses would
be distributed to local jurisdictions. The
report says funds received by school dis-
tricts would be subject to the revenue
limit split: 43.3 percent would be applied
to the states basic aid funding limit,
reducing the states payment.
Estimated additional revenue to
Milpitas schools in this scenario ranges
from $4 million to $6 million in annual
property tax revenue that is not subject to
the basic aid limit, in addition to the basic
aid limit and normal pass-through pay-
ments.
This hasnt ever been done before so
no one is sure, if the agency actually does
dissolve, how this is going to work out,
Mealy said.
Under the second possibility in which
the agency elects to continue and make a
required community remittance payment
each year, a portion of which will be paid
to the district, he explained the Milpitas
Redevelopment Agency would make an
estimated $14 million payment to the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
in 2011-12. This payment would be dis-
tributed to all school districts overlapping
the project areas and to the Santa Clara
County Office of Education, in propor-
tion to each entitys average daily atten-
dance. This formula would result in the
Milpitas district receiving approximately
69 percent of the $14 million, or $9.5
million. He added, however, 100 percent
of that is designated in the legislation as
property tax revenue subject to the rev-
enue limit, so it would reduce the amount
of state funding by the same amount. That
means if the Milpitas Redevelopment
Agency continues to operate, the negative
impact to Milpitas Unified is expected to
be around $2 million annually.
In addition, the district is expected to
continue to collect pass-through payments
regardless of whether the agency dissolves.
This is all somewhat speculative
because we really dont know how this dis-
tribution would take effect, Mealy said.
Given the range of possibilities that
could occur under the new legislation,
Mealy said Milpitas Unified wont know
where it stands until the lawsuit is settled,
which he expects wont be until January.
So unfortunately now we have a lot of
moving pieces to the state budget once
again, he said.
State budgets moving pieces leave school funding in dark
Redevelopment agency legislation will impact school district
but extent will not be known until lawsuit is settled

Over the summer DeEtte Starr,
a retired teacher from the Milpitas
Unified School District, read an
article in the Milpitas Post about a
Paper and Supplies drive being
sponsored by Milpitas High
Schools Parent Teacher Student
Association. She contacted organiz-
er Robert Jung to find out how her
organization, the California Retired
Teachers Association, could help.
Jung gave her a wish list that
was developed with input fromthe
teachers involved. Starr presented
the idea to the board for CalRTA
Division 6, who approved $525
for the project with the stipulation
that the donations help as many
teachers as possible. Both Milpitas
High School and Calaveras Hills
High School were recipients of the
donations, which included:
I 78 Sharpies
I 1,440 pencils
I 86 reams of copy paper
I 150 pens
I 36 dry erase markers
I 40 boxes of tissue.

API: Milpitas rises 18 points as a school district
schools; half of the top 10 middle
schools; and two of the top 10
high schools.
It is a little bit frustrating,
Michelle Dimas, Milpitas
Unifieds assistant superintendent
of educational services, said of
the scores that show contrary
classifications.
Because the district failed to
meet federal requirements, she
said the district is now in year
two of Program Improvement,
which looks at schools not meet-
ing federal goals.
In its first year, the district noti-
fied all parents, conducted needs
assessments, wrote an addendum
to the local educational agency
plan and reserved a minimum of
10 percent of Title I funds for pro-
fessional development.
This year, the district will
enact its plan. Dimas said a focus
area will be implementing E.L.
Achieve at more sites, a program
which sets a blueprint for English
by teaching students the form
and function of how to use all
aspects of the language to fully
participate in the classroom. She
said this is important since such a
wide cross-section of students
here use English as their second
language.
Despite the districts failure to
meet federal guidelines, Dimas
said the API results show parents
and students have many things to
be proud of here.
Under API growth, Milpitas
Unified rose 18 points higher
than the previous year to 849.
This is higher than the county-
wide average of 827 and
statewide average of 778.
Thats real exciting as a unified
district, Dimas said. This is the
second year in a row Ive opened
those scores with tears of joy.
Although proud of the dis-
tricts progress as a whole, Dimas
said there were highlights.
What is so exciting about
what were seeing here is it is
another year of significant sus-
tained growth at most of our
sites, she said.
Joseph Weller Elementary
School, for example, posted the
largest increase with a 69-point
gain, placing this years score at 864.
It was a combination of
things they did, Dimas said. She
noted the recently implemented
professional learning communi-
ties, teacher assessment cycles
and intervention programs,
many being implemented within
normal classroom instruction.
If it werent for the push of
(former superintendent) Dr.
Black and Michelle Dimas, and
holding me accountable as prin-
cipal, I dont think we would be
where we were at, said Damon
James, who is in his fourth year as
Wellers principal.
Since starting there, he said
there has been a noticeable rigor
change in addition to focusing
more on data to look at where the
school can improve further and
adding more parent involvement
activities.
I definitely would like to
maintain what weve been doing
and not let it fizzle, James said.
Other areas of note for this
years scores, Dimas said, are that
two elementary schools, Curtner
and Sinnott, broke the 900 mark
at 913 and 900, respectively.
In addition, William Burnett
Elementary School rose 27 points
to 880. Dimas said this is worthy
of note because it is categorized
as a Title I school, meaning there
is a large low-income student
population.
Thats not real common, she
said.
Although the district contin-
ues looking to the future to
improve scores the next time
around, Dimas said the accom-
plishments deserve pause.
We need to stop and cele-
brate success, she said. We have
so much to be proud of. ... Our
staff, our students worked real
hard to (get) where we are.

BY WES BOWERS
In the wake of Solyndras
abrupt closure last week, local
politicians and those in
Washington are calling for inves-
tigations into the events that led
to the solar companys demise.
Rep. Pete Stark, D-Fremont,
last Friday called for Solyndras
chief executive officer to provide
compensation and benefits to all
1,100 employees his firm laid off
Aug. 31.
Stark alleged the firms actions
may violate provisions of the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.
Created in 1988, the WARN
Act protects workers from the
hardships associated with being
laid off abruptly. Firms with
more than 100 employees must
give them advance notice of an
impending layoff and 60 days of
pay and benefits under the act.
The decision by Solyndras
executives to terminate more
than 1,000 of its hardworking
employees without warning and
to immediately cut off further
payment and benefits was reck-
less, irresponsible and heartless,
Stark said. It may also be illegal.
I urge Solyndras leaders to
quickly revisit their decision and
do right by their employees.
Stark sent CEO Brian
Harrison a letter urging him to
provide such benefits as soon as
possible.
However, in the letter, Stark
said whether the act applies to
Solyndra may be a matter for
courts to decide.
He added the firm has to
prove its inability to meet the
conditions of the WARN Act.
Harrison was unavailable for
comment last week. But David
Miller, Solyndras director of cor-
porate communications, said the
firm is aware of Starks letter.
We were negotiating financ-
ing until the last minutes, which
is why it was not filed earlier,
Miller said of its inability to file
with WARN.
Miller said the company filed
its WARN Act papers last
Wednesday morning as it
announced the closing.
He said approximately 1,000
of Solyndras employees worked
at its location in southern
Fremont. A facility at 1210
California Circle in Milpitas had
closed previously and about 100
workers there moved into jobs at
the Fremont site.
In addition to Stark calling for
Solyndra to aid its employees,
other politicians are calling for
investigations into the firm and
its funding.
Last Friday, House of
Representative investigators
announced they uncovered evi-
dence the White House had
become involved in the U.S.
Department of Energys review
of the $535 million in funds the
firm was granted last year.
According to reports, House
Energy Committee Chairman
Fred Upton, R-Mich., said he
planned to accelerate efforts to
understand a deal that may have
left taxpayers out more than half
a billion dollars.
Uptons letter also called for
the White House to turn over
correspondence between the
Obama administration, Solyndra
and its investors.
White House officials stated
last week they did not intervene
in the loan process. However,
both President Barack Obama
and Department of Energy
staffers had praised the funding
last year.
Obama visited the firm in
May 2010 to tour its facilities
located at 47700 Kato Road,
where he praised the firm as an
example of how green-tech com-
panies deliver jobs.
Solyndra used the $535 mil-
lion loan guarantee to construct
its second fabrication facility on
Kato Road just down the street
from company headquarters,
which was expected to have an
annual manufacturing capacity
of 500 megawatts per year.
The facility created 3,000
construction jobs and an addi-
tional 1,000 green-tech jobs once
the new building was finished.
Hundreds of additional jobs
were supposed to be created for
the installation of Solyndra PV
systems in the United States, the
firm claimed.
The firm estimated Fab 2
would produce solar panels suffi-
cient to generate up to 15
gigawatts of clean, renewable
electricity enough to avoid
300 million metric tons of car-
bon dioxide emissions.
The firm announced the
morning of Aug. 31 it had filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, cit-
ing a staggering global market
and solar industry conditions.
Founded in 2005, Solyndra
designed and manufactured solar
photovoltaic panels and mounts
for the commercial rooftop mar-
ket.
The company claimed it had
installed its systems on more
than 1,000 rooftops in more
than 20 countries.

Gueorgui Gueorguiev, a 19-
year-old Milpitas resident, was
arrested last week for allegedly
furnishing teens with marijuana,
Milpitas Police Department
reported.
On Aug. 26 at about
10:44 p.m., a caller reported
seeing several people at the
rear of Great Jump Sports
at 616 S. Main St. smoking
what was believed to be
marijuana. Four minutes
later, officers arrived and
contacted two minors and
Gueorguiev behind the business,
police said.
An officer located a backpack
containing marijuana and allegedly
discovered the backpack belonged
to Gueorguiev. Gueorguiev pro-
duced a medical marijuana card,
exempting him from the laws
pertaining to illegal pos-
session of marijuana,
police said.
Police said Gueorguiev
was furnishing the mari-
juana he had for his own
medicinal use to the juve-
niles, which is illegal.
Gueorguiev was arrested
and booked into Santa
Clara County Main Jail on
charges of furnishing marijuana
to minors. The suspects marijua-
na was seized as evidence, police
said.

BY SHANNON BARRY
Tony Frascone, 34, was
appointed principal of John
Sinnott Elementary School in the
beginning of his 11th year working
for the Milpitas Unified School
District. Frascone will be charged
with leading more than 700 stu-
dents at the top-performing
kindergarten- through sixth-grade
school site beginning Sept. 15.
In the meantime, Colleen
Goncalves, who began with the
district as a kindergarten teacher
at Sinnott 18 years ago and was
formerly a principal at Curtner
Elementary School, is interim
principal at Sinnott. Frascone,
assistant principal of Rancho
Milpitas Middle School, is filling
in as the acting principal there
while the sites leader, Leticia Villa-
Gascon, is on leave to have a baby.
I think this transitions been
good, Frascone said last Friday.
I am getting some kind of in-
the-trenches training right now.
... Im holding down the fort here
at Rancho.
Once Frascone moves over to
Sinnott next week, Katie Martinez,
former principal of Calaveras Hills
High School, will become interim
principal at Rancho until Villa-
Gascon returns from maternity
leave. In addition, Assistant
Superintendent of Human
Resources Cheryl Jordan said the
district hopes to fill the position of
assistant principal at Rancho by
Sept. 13.
Frascones appointment at
Sinnott comes after former prin-
cipal Stacey Espino resigned,
effective June 30, following alle-
gations she had a relationship
with former district superinten-
dent Karl Black.
In some regards I know there
will be a transitional time that
will need to happen this year,
which is true when leadership
changes hands within any orga-
nization, Frascone said.
He was chosen as the new
principal among four other can-
didates Aug. 25, following three
rounds of interviews with district
staff from administration, teach-
ing and classified, community
members, assistant superinten-
dents and new Superintendent
Cary Matsuoka. The interviews
took place following a previous
round where the chosen candi-
date turned down the terms of
the contract, Jordan said.
While the position is general-
ly not filled until district trustees
approve the appointment during
a regularly scheduled meeting,
Jordan said the situation was a
little different than our usual
practices because its at the begin-
ning of the year and the (Board
of Education) wasnt going to
meet again until Sept. 13.
Matsuoka asked trustees for the
authority to appoint Frascone.
Jordan expects the appointment
will be ratified at the Board of
Education meeting next week.
She added Frascone was cho-
sen as the top candidate to fill the
role at Sinnott for a number of
reasons, including his knowledge
of the community, compassion,
drive to succeed and constantly
putting students as top priority.
Im confident what he will be
able to do is bring joy back to the
school, Jordan said. For anyone
who works in Milpitas, when you
mention that (Frascone) is going
to be the principal a huge smile
comes to their face because we
know hes going to be a perfect fit.
Prior to working at Rancho,
Frascone taught physical education
at Milpitas High School for seven
years and served as summer school
principal there for two years (2007
and 2008), worked with students
with severe disabilities at the Santa
Clara County Office of Education
in 2006 and taught special day
class during 2004 and 2005 sum-
mer school for the Milpitas
Unified School District.
He is a graduate of Milpitas
High School and San Jose State
University, where he earned a
bachelors degree in kinesiology
and masters degree in education
administration.
Im just humbled and hon-
ored that the district has given
me a shot to lead a school,
Frascone said. Since Ive been in
this career Ive always gone back
to its all about the kids and thats
No. 1 to me. So Ill keep that
same mentality (at Sinnott).
He didnt apply for the posi-
tion of principal there at first for
different reasons.
When the job originally
posted, I knew I was ready for a
principalship and to take on that
responsibility, he explained.
But I have a baby on the way
and (Villa-Gascon) is due any
moment. I think my loyalty to
Rancho and my own family ...
made me self doubt in applying
for the first round.
This changed when Frascone
was given a second chance.
When I saw it reposted,
something just clicked and I
thought maybe I could be that
guy, Frascone said.
By then he was preparing for
the 2011-12 school year with
other Rancho staff, including
Villa-Gascon, who said he should
have applied the first time.
I think that encouragement
helped push me over the top
even more, Frascone said.
So when he was chosen to inter-
view a week before school started
and appointed by Matsuoka just
days later, Frascone said his feelings
were two-fold when he had to tell
his staff about leaving.
It was difficult, even though
I was so excited to go to Sinnott,
Frascone said. Im excited to
meet and make those strong kind
of connections Ive made with
staff here over there.
Right after that meeting,
Frascone made his way across
Ranchos parking lot to Sinnott
to inform staff there.
I felt really embraced, he
said. The staff was great.
Even though Frascone is look-
ing forward to the change, he
said he is focusing solely on his
duties at Rancho through his
remaining days.
I really didnt want to men-
tally be in two places, Frascone
said. Its so stressful; the respon-
sibility on both sides. And I real-
ly want the staff here at Rancho
to feel like they have their needs
taken care of and Im not slack-
ing on my responsibilities here
because Im mentally over there.
Im trying to finish out strong
here.
Frascone said there are many
people he credits for his newest
appointment, including Villa-
Gascon, Jordan, former teachers
and district staff, and Matsuoka,
who is giving him a chance
despite working with him for a
short period of time. Frascone
also points to Bob Kellogg, now a
principal at The Kings Academy
in Sunnyvale, Steve Cain and Jeff
Lamb, who were coaches and
mentors at the same time he
played football and track at
Milpitas High but grew to
become his colleagues in the
physical education department.
Corrine Osborne gave him a
teaching opportunity.
Frascone said the upbringing
of his father Chuck Frascone was
also a huge factor modeling
what it means to build relation-
ships with people, which is one
of my strongest attributes as a
leader.
He owned a barber shop and
as a kid I would spend my sum-
mers hanging out in there,
Frascone recalls. I watched as
my dad listened, empathized and
encouraged his clients. He knew
their childrens names, planned
vacations, job promotions and
even checked in on them when
there was a loss of a loved one. I
saw first hand what it meant to
be a servant and thats the men-
tality I always keep in mind
when working with my staff,
families and students.

The 2011 Summer/Labor Day Holiday
Mobilization crackdown on drunken
drivers ended Monday at midnight and
resulted in a significant number of drunk-
en driving arrests through sobriety check-
points, special saturation patrols and rou-
tine patrol in Santa Clara County.
From 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 19
through midnight Monday, Sept. 5, offi-
cers representing 13 law enforcement
agencies arrested 439 individuals for dri-
ving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs and an additional 35 subjects
arrested on drunken-driving warrants.
In 2010, 385 DUI arrests and 17 DUI
warrant arrests occurred during the same
time period. There were no alcohol-related
deaths this year. Last year, there was one
alcohol-related death during this same time.
These numbers are in comparison to
last years totals during the holiday peri-
od. Law enforcement officials will be con-
ducting more anti-DUI efforts through-
out the county and region again during
Halloween and Thanksgiving Eve before
planning for the December winter cam-
paign periods.
State and local law enforcement agen-
cies encourage all motorists to help make
their community safer: Report drunken
drivers and call 911 whenever a danger-
ous or impaired driver is on the road.
Funding for this program was provid-
ed by a grant from the California Office
of Traffic Safety, through the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Avoid the 13 campaign ends with 439 drunken-driving arrests

Review of rental fee
increase and park
petition upcoming
BY IAN BAUER
The Milpitas Mobile Home
Park Rental Review Board,
tasked with reviewing a rent
increase petition at Friendly
Village Mobilehome Estates
where residents are fighting their
landlords proposal to increase
rental fees there by 50 to 90 per-
cent, has yet to hear the dispute.
Deputy City Attorney
Bronwen E. Lacey said the board
on Sept. 2 offered one of three
dates Sept. 29, Oct. 20 or
Oct. 27 for representatives
from Friendly Village and
mobile home park landlord
Santiago Communities Inc. to
pick from to have their dispute
heard by the board. She added
the boards next meeting has not
been scheduled.
In August, scores of Friendly
Village residents crammed into
Milpitas City Halls Council
Chambers outraged over the pro-
posed rental increase they say
will force many of them from
their homes at 120 Dixon
Landing Road.
At the meeting, Friendly
Village residents who despite
claims of poor maintenance
implored Milpitas City Council
to intervene in the rent increase,
just as the council was set to
appoint three new members to
the citys rental review board.
Santiago stated in documents
sent to Friendly Village residents
in late June that their rents
would rise to $875 per month
beginning Oct. 1. City staff said
the proposed Oct. 1 rental
increase would be precluded by
any board hearing date held in
October.
Friendly Village hearing
date yet to be decided
B
y now it appears that the dramatic demise of
a highly touted and hopeful government
investment locally in advanced technology
had the same kind of root cause that sees many a
start-up go belly up in the early stages of a cutting-
edge industry. There are literally thousands of such
cadavers buried in Silicon Valley. Students of the
American way of free enterprise capitalism have doc-
umented the same bumpy road in automobiles, air-
craft and airlines, farm machinery and dozens more.
Why should solar be different?
More than a half-billion dollars in taxpayer money
was ponied up as a guarantee for loans for Fremont-
based Solyndra. But recall, it was matched by more
than twice as much private investment. Obviously
the solar panel maker had something going for it. It
looked like it was also the perfect opportunity for
government to show it was serious about creating
jobs and at the same time doing good for the envi-
ronment, unhooking us from oil dependency and
poking those Middle East oil moguls in the eye.
The political pressure to find a way to accom-
plish all these worthy goals was also at a fever pitch.
Remember the political hay made at the opening of
Solyndras local factories with visits from President
Barack Obama and Sen. Barbara Boxer.
The cold, hard reality of finding a straight-for-
ward success pattern in new technologies is that it
requires all the stars to be aligned perfectly. That
almost never happens.
Solyndras founders made some judgment calls,
which have proved fatally wrong. One was that the
price of refined silicon would remain high, so they took
a chance in designing their solar panels with a different
feed stock. They also thought they had a strong com-
petitive advantage in being able to use their innovate
systemof flat roof installation. It turned out that others
were able to mimic and eliminate this advantage.
Perhaps most significant was the decision of the
Chinese government to massively subsidize this indus-
try. The differential in labor is often blamed for an
inability to compete in what has become a worldwide
marketplace for solar panels. But it appears that cost
was not the major explanation of the Solyndra debacle.
At this juncture, there has been very little trans-
parency but no shortage of knee-jerk political
rhetoric. We smelled a rat from the onset said two
Republican congressmen who have convened an
investigation. Democratic lawmakers have called for
money to compensate laid off workers in accord
with a law requiring a warning period if big layoffs
are foreseen, but theyve been silent about getting
detailed information about this startling collapse.
At this stage no one can predict how badly this
will all turn out. But it certainly will be a painful
lesson for everyone about betting on the wrong
horse in rapidly evolving industries.
We would hope that this jarring experience does-
nt end the search for ways to keep a growing and still
very promising U.S. solar industry moving forward.
The U.S. Department of Energy has funded
more than 40 solar companies helping produce
more than 60,000 clean-tech jobs with very posi-
tive impacts on the worldwide solar market as well
as here at home. Not every wager is going to pro-
duce a winner. But there isnt any turning back
from the decision to continue to subsidize game-
changing innovations if our country is to remain a
leader in the global economy.
Walmart has rights
in free economy
Dear Editor,
Fragmented Milpitas cant get
anything done. Walmart is not
the priority!
Within the City of Milpitas
lies my street with potholes with-
in potholes. My zip code could
now match northern Japan-east
coast zip codes.
Can we argue about main-
taining some kind of mainte-
nance within our city?
Walmart, a store I dislike
completely because of the lousy
service, still has some rights in
this free economy of ours. They
have been here since 1994.
Target, Lowes and Cabelas
are similar to Walmart when it
comes to being anchor stores for
developers of shopping centers.
They also are not known for
high wages and benefits.
If Walmart didnt come,
Borders, In-N-Out Burger or
your other favorite stores at
McCarthy Ranch probably
would not have come here.
Probably about 30 percent of
our population can only afford
to shop at Walmart.
I love Nob Hill and Safeway
and will remain loyal to them for
the service and quality.
Growing up in the 1950s and
1960s there was a corner market
to go buy milk, bread and
Popsicles within three blocks of
our house until those big chain
stores like Safeway came to town
and put them out of business.
We need revenue and should
not let McCarthy Ranch die out.
Walmart may be a bitter pill to
swallow to build momentum in
that shopping center but it is
something to chew on.
Dont worry Nob Hill, we just
shopped there tonight; the red
snapper was great!
I can also guess that a sub-
stantial percentage of city
employees (at all levels) dont live
in Milpitas preferring more high-
end cities like Los Gatos,
Saratoga, Willow Glen, the bet-
ter parts of Fremont, etc. How
can they really care about this
city if they dont live in it?
The next group of councilper-
sons and mayor should represent
us, the residents of Milpitas as
priority No. 1.

Young man assists
in time of need
Dear Editor,
I just want to let people in
Milpitas know we still have a
Good Samaritan out there.
Let me tell you the incident
that happened early Sunday, Aug.
28, between 3:30 and 4:30 a.m.
My husband has Alzheimers dis-
ease, in the moderate stage. This
was the first time he wandered
out of the house without anyone
at my sons house knowing about
it. Everyone in the house, includ-
ing myself, were sound asleep
until the phone rang at about
5:45 a.m. It was the hospital. He
was in his pajama pants, a T-shirt
and socks.
According to the staff at San
Jose Medical Center, some young
man saw him walking down Park
Victoria Drive, which is about
two blocks down from my sons
house, and kindly picked him up
and took him to the nearest fire
station on Yosemite Drive. He
thought he might be high on
drugs and looked confused.
The fire department then
took my husband to the hospital
and proceeded to find out who
he was. Thank God he was able
to tell them his name and birth-
day, my name and my daughter-
in-laws name and that he is from
Seaside, near Monterey, one hour
away from Milpitas. We got him
home safely.
We tried to find out who this
nice young man is to thank him
personally for saving my hus-
band. So many bad things could
have happened to him. The fire
station couldnt tell us who took
my husband there.
If you can kindly print this
letter, maybe someone will rec-
ognize the story or might know
who this good person is. I just
want people to know there are
still good, compassionate, caring
people out there.

FULL (DENTURE)
DISCLOSURE
Dr. Simon practices general, cosmetic,
orthodontic and implant dentistry at
Town Center Dental Care, 491 East
Calaveras Blvd. here in Milpitas.
Phone: 262-6608 for appointment.
Patients fitted with full dentures
may mistakenly believe that they no
longer must worry about scheduling
comprehensive oral exams. After all,
there are no natural teeth left to exam-
ine. However, the mouth and bite
change constantly, which means that
the dentist must regularly assess den-
ture fit. If that is the case, the dentist
will reline full dentures that do not fit as
well as they should. Patients should
also note that any man-made material
will eventually show signs of wear. This
is particularly true of plastic that is sub-
jected to the considerable forces exert-
ed by the jaws while biting and chewing.
Gum tissue underlying dentures must
also be regularly examined for signs of
irritation and pre-cancerous lesions.
Like natural teeth, dentures must
be brushed daily to remove food and
plaque. Brushing also helps prevent the
development of permanent stains on
the dentures. You can use hand soap or
mild dishwashing liquid to clean den-
tures. When not worn, dentures should
be placed in a denture cleanser soaking
solution or in water. To schedule an
appointment, please call TOWN DENTAL
CARE. Located near the Red Lobster
Restaurant, our office hours are by
appointment, M-F, 9-7, and Sat 7:30-3.
New patients are always welcome.
P.S. If a patient is unable to successful-
ly wear full dentures, the dentist may
recommend implants or anchoring an
overdenture to existing tooth roots.

The Milpitas High School varsi-
ty football squad opened the 2011
season with a big win Friday,
defeating Jefferson High School
19-3 on a cold Daly City evening.
The Trojans opened the game
with a defensive scoring opportu-
nity, blocking a Jefferson punt in
the first quarter and scoring a
safety for the first two points of
the night.
Quarterback Tony Sauceda
later kicked a field goal.
Sauceda completed 14 of 28
passing attempts for 176 yards,
which included a 33-yard touch-
down pass to Brandon Colbert.
Running back Squally Canada
rushed for 100 yards and also
scored a touchdown for the
Trojans to close out the scoring.
Wide receiver Rodney McKenzie
had five receptions and receiver
Tre Hartley had four catches.
Hartley also recovered a fumble
as a defensive back.
The Trojan defense was led by
linebacker Marcos Mancilla, who
tallied 12 tackles against the
Indians offense. Defensive line-
backer Vita Vea added 10 tackles
for Milpitas.
Head coach Kelly King said
Chris Malone played well at defen-
sive end, while defensive lineman
Darrien Hamberry intercepted a
pass and linebacker Mario
Aguirre recovered a fumble.
Milpitas first home game of
the season is tonight against
Alvarez High School of Salinas,
who will be playing its first game
of the season. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at

Milpitas opens season 3-3
BY WES BOWERS
The Milpitas High School girls varsity
volleyball team finished the opening week-
end with a 3-3 record after winning two
matches in its annual Spikefest I Invitational
Tournament Saturday.
Head Coach Jeff Lamb said the Lady
Trojans ended the weekend on a couple of high
notes, defeating Pinewood High School of Los
Altos 2-0, and Mount Madonna High School
of Watsonville 2-1 to end the tournament.
Milpitas won the match against the Pinewood
Panthers 25-17 and 25-20 to give the Lady
Trojans the Yellow Division Championship.
Milpitas eked out wins against Mount
Madonna 26-24, 21-25 and 15-13.
Things didnt look good for Milpitas to
start the tournament, as the Trojans lost the
first three matches to San Franciscos Sacred
Heart Cathedral, San Joses Willow Glen
High School and Gilroys Christopher High
School, all by scores of 2-0.
The Trojans lost to Sacred Heart 25-12,
25-12, and to Willow Glen 25-22, 25-22.
They fell to Christopher 25-17, 25-22.
Milpitas opened the regular season Sept. 1
with a 3-1 victory over San Joses Silver Creek
High School.
Milpitas hosted Morgan Hills Live Oak
High School last night, but scores were too
late to print.
The Trojans head to Leland and Santa Teresa
high schools inSanJoseTuesday andWednesday,
respectively. Both matches start at 6 p.m.
Milpitas returns home Sept. 19 for a 5:45
p.m. match against Fremonts American High

Lake Elizabeth in Fremonts
Central Park will be the setting
for the Donate LIFE Walk on
Sunday, sponsored by the
California Transplant Donor
Network.
The walk will be a two-mile
trek around the lake in an effort
to raise money to encourage
more people to become organ
and tissue donors in the Bay
Area.
Milpitas resident Paul Yang,
who underwent a liver transplant
23 years ago, will be participating.
I am here today because of
my donor. Without my donor
family I would not have this
life, Yang said.
Yang, 60, received a liver
transplant after his organ was
destroyed by Hepatitis B.
Since that time he has been
active in raising awareness of
organ and tissue donation. His
biggest contribution to raising
awareness has been competing in
the Transplant Olympics, win-
ning several medals in speed
walking and swimming.
Yang said this is the first time
the California Transplant Donor
Network has held a walk in the
Bay Area.
Right now this is all about
exposure, he said. Were trying
very hard to reach out to every
community about the donor net-
work.
According to donor network
statistics, about a third of the
states residents are signed up as
donors not enough to help
the 21,000 people who need an
organ.
The Donor LIFE Walk will
begin at 8 a.m. Sept. 10, and reg-
istration is $35. Fees include a
goodie bag, T-shirt and the
chance to win prizes during the
two-mile walk. Sign up at
active.com/donate/d?lwalk2011
#selectfundraiser. You can sign
up for an existing team or create
your own for the event.
Registering the day of the walk
will not be allowed. For more
information about the California
Transplant Donor Network, visit
ctdn.org.
I The weekend following the
Donate LIFE Walk, Fremont res-
ident Michele Martinez will host
her third annual Northern
California Pancreatic Cancer Walk
at the lake.
Martinez is hoping to raise
about $25,000 again this year.
She said anyone is welcome to
participate in the walk, which
will feature breakfast and a bar-
becue lunch.
Martinez added participants
will be accepted the day of the
run. Registration begins at 8 a.m.
Sept. 17 and fees are $60. You
can pre-register for $50 before
the event.
For more information about
the walk, call 234-2759, e-mail
Michele_martinez@hotmail.com
or visit fremont.kintera.org/faf/

M
oral ambiguity is a staple
of the espionage thriller
genre. Spies, assassins and
their targets and employers tend not
to be people at the all-good end of
the ethical spectrum. The Debt
takes that idea and runs with it,
but rather than making for a
thought-provoking, exciting film,
it turns into a potentially very
uncomfortable one.
The Debt follows two story-
lines: in 1997, two ex-Mossad
agents are lauded as their
daughters book about
their greatest mission is
launched. Rachel (Helen
Mirren) and Stefan (Tom
Wilkinson), along with
their colleague David
(Ciaran Hinds), risked
their lives 30 years before
when the three of them
tracked down Nazi war criminal
Dieter Vogel in East Berlin. Their
memories and stories from the
mission are interwoven with the
latter-day events as distressing
news related to those fateful
weeks reaches them.
The 1966 mission was full of
catastrophes, and the agents strug-
gled to find ways to complete their
task without losing their humani-
ty. Its an engaging tale the
young David (Sam Worthington)
and Rachel (Jessica Chastain) are
compelling and sympathetic, and
as Stefan (Marton Csokas) shows
his callous, ambitious colors every-
thing teeters on a knifes edge.
There is a strong seam of classical
tragedy here, in which characters
are doomed by flaws springing
from their best qualities.
The performances are stellar
even Worthington, whose
performance in Avatar
was so flat it was a relief
when he was masked with
CGI, does good work.
Mirren and Wilkinson are
as excellent as ever, giving
us glimpses of their char-
acters complexity even in
the short amount of
screen time they have to work.
Hinds is given almost no scenes,
and wanders through them like a
man already dead.
It makes for a compelling
thriller. Where The Debt falls
apart is its apparent agreement
with a speech by Vogel about why
the Jews deserved to be extermi-
nated in the camps. He says in
one of his manipulative, one-
sided conversations with his cap-
tors that the prisoners in Birkenau
could have overwhelmed their
guards with sheer numbers, but
none of them were willing to die
for the sake of their fellows it
only took four guards to lead
thousands to the gas chambers
because none of them were will-
ing to die to save the rest.
It is, of course, appalling, vic-
tim-blaming stuff. And yet,
Stefan, Rachel and David all seem
to prove him right over the course
of the film. Its hard to describe in
much detail without spoiling the
film, but here goes. Each of the
three give altruistic reasons for
their actions, but all their pivotal,
plot-changing decisions are driven
by self-serving passivity in the face
of danger. Theres talk about serv-
ing the greater good, but ultimate-
ly they all do what makes their
own lives easier.
It makes for an uncomfortable
film. Any movie which seems to
be agreeing with a character
called the surgeon of Birkenau,
who performed unspeakable
experiments on his prisoners, is
very hard to enjoy.
Its a pity, because everything
else about the film is very well
done. Whether or not youll enjoy
it has more to do with how you
interpret the characters actions
than how the film was made.
Personally, it made me want to go
home and take a shower.

MOVIE REVIEW
The Debt
Directed by: John Madden
Starring: Helen Mirren, Ciaran Hinds,
Tom Wilkinson, Sam Worthington,
Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas
Rated: R for some violence and lan-
guage.
S
ome characters nail the cool
factor in spades. Jason
Bourne, James Bond (Sean
Connery version), Hans Solo
and just about every role played
by Paul Newman. U.S. Marshal
Rooster Cogburn may drink too
much, shower too little and think
a little too highly of himself, but
there is no denying, he is cool.
How else can a cowboy hold reins
in his mouth to enable him to use
two hands in a gun fight?
Mattie Ross was just 14 years old
when her father was shot and killed
by a coward by the name of Tom
Chaney. Sensing the low priority
her fathers murder has with local
lawenforcement, she decides to hire
a marshal to accompany her on an
expedition to bring her fathers
murderer to justice. She asks the
sheriff for a recommendation. The
meanest one is Rooster
Cogburn. He is a pitiless
man, double-tough, and
fear dont enter into his
thinking. He loves to pull
a cork. Now L.T. Quinn,
he brings in his prisoners
alive...Quinn is a good
peace officer and a lay
preacher to boot ... about
the best they have. Without hes-
itation, Mattie responds, Where
can I find this Rooster?
Smart and sassy Mattie, Rooster
Cogburn, and a vain Texas Ranger,
named LaBoeuf set out into
Choctaw Indian territory to hunt
down Chaney. A narration from a
young female in post-Civil War
Arkansas, was a daring approach
to this 1968 novel. Portis captures
the unique yet believable, personali-
ty of Mattie Ross, adds Old West
adventure, and sprinkles
in an inordinate amount
of humor to tell this enter-
taining story. It is worth
noting that the narrationis
actually an adult Matties
recollection of events.
Mattie is level-headed
with a knack for seeing
beyond the moment of a
circumstance. I could have con-
founded him and his silliness right
there, but I had not the strength,
nor the inclination to bandy words
with a drunkard. What you done
when you have bested a fool? Her
business sense is acute and her faith
in the family lawyer and the
offering of his services adds
comedy to tense situations.
Contrary to everyones predic-
tions, Mattie holds her own. Even
when her life is hanging in the
balance, Mattie keeps her head. I
called out at once and was again
mocked by the echo of my own
voice and by the wind and the
dripping of the cave water and
the squeaking of the bats.
Grit, the trait she admires most
in Cogburn, is a trait Mattie shares.
Recommendation: A friend
recently enjoyed a re-read of this
novel while his sixth-grader dis-
covered western fiction for the first
time. It appeals to a vast audience
and whether the films have been
seen or not, it should be on every-
ones must-read-someday list.

Fish for value at seafood counter
A
ccording to a recent scien-
tific report, seafood is an
important source of pro-
tein and contains essential nutri-
ents that can benefit the cardio-
vascular system. Putting quality
fish on the dining room table in
an affordable way is easy with
these savvy shopping tips:
I Consider frozen or vacuum-
packed seafood. Busy weekday
schedules dont always allow a
dash to the store for fresh fish.
Have frozen seafood on hand
and place it in the refrigerator
the night before cooking it for a
simple meal. An even easier
option is to look for frozen, pre-
marinated, ready-to-cook fish
that come in vacuum packs.
I Mix and match. Buy some
shrimp or a few salmon fillets
and cube them at home.
Marinate in store-bought teriya-
ki marinade and make kabobs
with a variety of fruits and veg-
gies like red onion and pineap-
ple. Bake or grill and then serve
over brown rice.
I Choose value varieties of
salmon. Keta and coho salmon
are garnering attention from
seafood lovers. At a fraction of
the price of other salmon species,
keta and coho make great alter-
natives for anyone who prefers a
milder taste.
I Look for affordable, responsi-
bly farmed fish. Responsibly
farmed fish are environmentally
friendly and can be affordable,
too. Be sure to shop for fish that
are farmed without the use of
antibiotics, preservatives and
added growth hormones, said
David Pilat, Whole Foods
Markets seafood buyer. Our
strict quality standards for
farmed seafood ensure our shop-
pers get great taste and peace of
mind that they are doing their
part to save our oceans.
This recipe is sure to please
the family without putting a
strain on the grocery budget.
Serve it with a salad and cous-
cous or a quinoa pilaf.
Rosemary-lime
salmon kabobs
Serves four
1 pound farmed or wild salmon
fillets (fresh or thawed frozen),
cut into chunks
1 zucchini, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into
chunks
1 large red onion, cut into chunks
Sea salt and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon (about 2 small
sprigs) chopped rosemary leaves
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
Wooden or bamboo skewers,
soaked in water for 10 minutes
Place salmon, zucchini, bell
pepper and onion in a shallow
baking dish and sprinkle with
salt and pepper. Whisk together
garlic, rosemary, olive oil and
lime juice in a small bowl. Pour
mixture over salmon and vegeta-
bles, toss and marinate 15 to 30
minutes.
Preheat the grill or broiler.
Skewer the salmon and vegeta-
bles, reserving marinade, and
grill or broil 5 to 7 minutes,
turning once, until salmon is
cooked through and vegetables
are tender. While cooking, boil
the marinade in a small saucepan
for 5 minutes. Drizzle over skew-
ers and serve.

hether youre looking
for a way to add a
new twist to your old
favorites or looking for a healthi-
er alternative to mayo or ranch
dressing, consider the flavorful
creaminess of avocados.
Avocados are often dismissed
from healthy foods for being
high in fat. A closer look at this
fruit proves that they are, in fact,
high in monounsaturated fats
otherwise known as the good
fats. Avocados are also rich in
vitamins and minerals, especially
magnesium, folic acid, lutein and
vitamins B, E and K. They also
boast an impressive 60 percent
more potassium than a banana;
are high in fiber (including solu-
ble fiber), even compared to
other fruits; and are naturally
sodium and cholesterol free.
If youre finding the price of
avocados too high or have prob-
lems with over/underripe fruits
causing issues, try premade all-nat-
ural avocado products like Wholly
Guacamole. Found in the produce
section of your grocery store,
Wholly Guacamole is preservative
and additive free with only five
ingredients: avocado, jalapeno
puree, onions, salt and garlic. Easy
to use and full of flavor, the prod-
uct is available in larger servings as
well as single-serve 100-calorie
snack packs perfect for sand-
wiches, lunch boxes, after-school
snacks and more.
Guacamole isnt just for chips.
It also makes a great dip with car-
rots and other veggies and a ter-
rific topping for hot dogs, grilled
chicken and in this delicious
twist on your grilled burgers:
Guacamole
cilantro lime
cheeseburgers
Wholly Guacamole or favorite
pre-made guacamole
1/2 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
2 pounds lean ground beef
6 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
6 hamburger buns
In a large bowl, mix together
ground beef and the juice of half
a lime, garlic, onion and toma-
toes. Form the meat into six pat-
ties. Cook the burgers to the
desired doneness on a preheated
grill. Add a slice of cheese to each
burger during the last minute of
cooking. Serve on toasted buns
with a healthy dollop of Wholly
Guacamole.

A topping idea: go guacamole

meals you can make with healthful avocados.

R
educing the amount of
meat your family eats and
creating healthier, tastier,
protein-rich meals are easier than
you might imagine.
One delicious way to do so is to
use easy-to-prepare, protein-rich
products suchas those fromQuorn.
The products are made from
mycoprotein, which is a member
of the fungi family, said Chef
Lilia Temple. In addition to
being really tasty, they are all low
in fat but high in fiber, and soy-
free. I love the soy-free part.
Something like Quorn comes in
so many different varieties, too
burgers, patties, tenders, grounds
theres something for every
dish. Making just one change to
your family mealtime reducing
meat intake can make such a
difference to overall health. And
your family wont even notice.
This delicious, veggie pizza is
a healthy, better-for-you alterna-
tive to the typical meatball pizza.
Quorn
spinach and
mushroom pizza
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Makes one 12-inch pizza
(six servings)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
(about 1 cup)
1 package (8 ounces) sliced
Baby Bella or white mushrooms
2 tablespoons white wine or
vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
Dash nutmeg
4 cups baby spinach leaves
6 Quorn Meatless Meatballs
1/2 cup prepared tomato sauce
1 prepared 12-inch (10-ounces)
100 percent whole wheat, thin-
crust-style pizza crust
1 cup shredded part skim moz-
zarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat oil in large skillet on
medium-high heat. Add onions,
saut 2 minutes or until soft-
ened. Stir in mushrooms and
wine. Cook, stirring occasionally,
2-3 more minutes, or until liquid
is evaporated. Season with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Stir in
spinach leaves until just wilted.
Remove from heat.
Place Quorn Meatless Meatballs
and tomato sauce in a small
saucepot. Cover and simmer,
stirring occasionally, on medium
heat 15-18 minutes. Remove
meatballs from pot, cool slightly,
then cut each in half; set aside.
Spread remaining sauce even-
ly onto pizza crust to within 1/2
inch from the edge. Top evenly
with mushroom-spinach mix-
ture, then meatball halves.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese
and place on baking sheet (or a
preheated pizza stone) and bake
at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes
or until cheese is melted.

NAPS
This delicious pizza is made with mycoprotein that is lower in fat and
higher in fiber than those made with real meatballs.

STAN HORYZA was able to guess the
last Mystery Spot, the bell at St. John
the Baptist Catholic Church.
He gave us the following history of
the bell: That is the bell of San Juan
Baptista dated 1901 that used to reside
in the bell tower of the second St. John
the Baptist Church after the first church
burned to the ground. In 1972 the bell
was removed as the second church was
being demolished due to termite damage.
In 1974 it was placed in the bell tower
where it stands today. It currently sits in
silence due to the power was cut when
the driveway onto the grounds was
widened to match the stop light. It has
not rung in nearly 20 years. This picture
is taken from the parking lot side facing
west to the street. When the bell was
installed it was clearly visible from the
street, however in the 37 years since the
trees have grown tall and now almost
entirely block the view from the street
side.
If you can identify the location that
appears in the photo here, e-mail us at
mysteryspot@themilpitaspost.com by
Monday, Sept. 12 by noon. One winner
will be picked among all of Septembers
winners for two tickets to Raging Waters.
Congratulations to ARLYN DIVINAGRACIA,

winners. DIVINAGRACIA will receive two

on Page 41
Taurus, take some
time to relax;
watch burnout
ARIES - March 21/April 20
Aries, if youre seeking fun in the sun, make
the most of the last few days of summer or
hop a plane to a tropical paradise. This could
be a time for romance.
TAURUS - April 21/May 21
Taurus, take some time to relax. Keeping up
this momentum is only going to cause burnout
down the road. Its time for some well-
deserved relaxation.
GEMINI - May 22/June 21
Make a list of all your expenses and see what
you can trim, Gemini. Its time to get your
finances in check and knowing what youre
working with is a first step.
CANCER - June 22/July 22
Cancer, after doing the same thing week after
week, you are certainly ready for a change. Use
this opportunity to try one of your bucket list
ideas to drum up excitement.
LEO - July 23/Aug. 23
A change of scenery will do you good, Leo.
Take a walk or hop on a bike and enjoy the
neighborhood or someplace a little further
away. This change of pace is refreshing.
VIRGO - Aug. 24/Sept. 22
Virgo, stress at the office has left you feeling a
bit down. But recognize this opportunity to
show youre a winning employee to your high-
er-ups.
LIBRA - Sept. 23/Oct. 23
Libra, plan a visit to see family members and
youll get those warm and fuzzy feelings only
your loved ones can help inspire. If a trip isnt
in the cards, do a video chat.
SCORPIO - Oct. 24/Nov. 22
Scorpio, sometimes you have to step away
from the problem to find its solution. Spending
all your waking hours obsessing over the
problem wont help.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 23/Dec. 21
Lay low for a while, Sagittarius. Things are
happening around you that can lead to trouble
if you become involved. Its safer if you keep a
low profile.
CAPRICORN - Dec. 22/Jan. 20
Capricorn, consider hiring some help around
the house in the coming weeks. Theres a lot
on your plate and a few extra helping hands
can make it easier to manage what lies ahead.
AQUARIUS - Jan. 21/Feb. 18
Aquarius, friends and family will rely on you to
diffuse a stressful situation. When something
occurs this week, take your usual calm
approach.
PISCES - Feb. 19/March 20
Creativity is in bloom for you, Pisces. Make the
most of crisp weather on the horizon for a fun
day trip somewhere.

Dear Friends,
Why do I stage 99% of all my listings?
Because it works! Why is that?
Dont even try to fool yourself into believing
that since you may not knowthe buyers taste,
painting and re-carpeting arent a good idea.
It is always safe togowithaneutral color and
have it appeal to the majority than worrying
about only a select few prospective pur-
chasers. Then we make your home look like
a model. Call me and let me handle it!
As always, I amhere to serve you and your
real estate needs, now and in the future.
Warmest regards,
Debbie Rossetto
