Hot as it seemed, Fair Oaks Boulevard was 15 degrees cooler this year than 2013’s tar-melting 110 degrees. Hugging the shade, many thousands of sidewalk patriots cheered the spectacle’s 56th year. Paul Scholl was this year’s Grand Marshal. Scholl, Carmichael Times publisher, is a community leader whose late mother was Grand Marshal for Fairfield’s 2008 parade. Celebrating his own July 4th birthday, Scholl said the Carmichael occasion was a “reminder from my parents never to forget the duty to serve others.” While Congressman Ami Bera and Assemblyman Ken Cooley loaned VIP presence, participants from churches and nonprofits demonstrated that, on this uniquely American holiday, community is where the heart is. A dozen volunteer organizations fielded contingents of more than 50 people, including Carmichael’s Church of God. This organization took a trophy for best reflecting the parade theme – “America, Living the Dream.” Kiwanis and Rotary club entries won awards. Pre-teens in the Combined Catholic School Band were awarded as the parade’s only marching musicians. Beauty queens, civic leaders, and business folk adorned convertibles and floats. Marching contingents included the parade’s largest unit: a massive squad of football players, cheerleaders, and boosters from Del Campo High. At the parade vanguard, the school’s Junior ROTC unit marched in solid formation. As evening temperatures dropped to the comfortable 80s, pyrotechnics dazzled. A record crowd of 5,000 applauded live music and fireworks at the La Sierra Community Center. The July 4th event sponsors included: Carmichael Elks, Carmichael Kiwanis, Carmichael and Mission Oaks Park Districts and the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce.

Job Demand Hiring Trends for Local Companies in the 3rd Quarter SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - A robust market in California’s capital city expects to add as many new workers as it hires for replacements within existing workforces in the 3rd quarter of 2014. In a direct telephone survey of Sacramento’s top regional employers, fifty percent (50%) say hiring is motivated by expansion of existing workforces, and eleven percent (11%) also attributed seasonal demands for seeking workers in July, September and October. Attrition, or replacements among the existing workforce motivated the other half expecting to see applicants. Pacific Staffing discovered just twenty-nine percent (29%) of Sacramento companies contacted directly between May 21st and June 11th are not hiring. While service and manufacturing companies were driving the majority of hiring anticipated in the third quarter, construction firms were almost evenly split, and just one retail firm surveyed was not looking for help. Also signaling continued robust employment in the area, not one company noted any plans for layoffs in the next quarter. Several firms also mention that retention of current workers was a growing concern and noted finding adequate numbers of qualified applicants as another challenge. Skills Demand? Demand for technical skills continues to drive recruiting out Continued on Page 7 The Per fecnt ! Combinatio Assessor Announces Sacramento County Property Tax Roll Totals A robust market in California’s capital city expects to add as many new workers as it hires for replacements within existing workforces in the 3rd quarter of 2014. Sacramento County Assessor Kathleen Kelleher announced the 2014-15 assessment roll totals as of July 1st. The assessed value of the combined secured and unsecured property tax roll totals, net of unreimbursed exemptions, is just over $128.7 billion. This is a 6.4%, or nearly $7.8 billion increase over the previous year. A decrease in the property tax rolls after July 1st is expected, however, as outstanding assessment reviews and appeals result in lower values. This will reduce the amount of property tax revenue actually realized by local schools, special districts and the county general fund. Each year the Assessor’s Office reviews the values of properties. Proposition 13 (Prop 13), passed in 1978, caps the inflation of a property’s assessed value at no more than 2% a year. The annual inflation factor is based on the CPI index and is published by the State Board of Equalization. The inflation factor for 2014-2015 is 1.00454% which is well below the 2% maximum. If the market value of a property falls below the property’s inflation adjusted Prop 13 value, Proposition 8 (Prop 8), also passed in 1978, allows a property to be temporarily reassessed at the lower market value. The value comparison is based on a property’s market value as of January 1 of each year. For properties with a Prop 8 assessment, the Assessor’s Office appraises the property each year until the market value of the property is equal to or greater than the property’s inflation adjusted Prop 13 value. In contrast to Prop 13 assessments, the 2% inflation cap does not apply to Prop 8 assessments. When market values are rising, this can result in higher than expected increases in a property’s annual tax bill. Nevertheless, the assessed value of a property cannot be increased above the property’s inflation adjusted Prop 13 value. Effective July 2014, property owners can utilize the “Assessed Value Lookup” feature on the Assessor’s website at www. assessor.saccounty.net to preview the assessed value of their property before tax bills are issued in October. Property owners who believe the 2014-2015 assessed value of their property is higher than market value as of January 1, 2014 should first request an informal Prop 8 review by filing a request online, by mail, or in person at the Assessor’s Office. In addition, owners may file an appeal with the Assessment Appeals Board, an independent body appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The appeal filing period is July 2-December 1, 2014. Instructions for filing an appeal can be found on the Assessment Appeals Board web site www.sccob.saccounty.net.H Source: Sacramento County Start Yours Today!

One of thousands of events that celebrate Olympic Day internationally, the program immersed 115 children in the Olympian values of respect, friendship and excellence. At 6 feet 9 inches, Carmichael-based Gabe Gardner was a towering role model. Now a commercial realtor, he competed in 2004 and 2008 Olympics and brought a team gold medal home from Beijing. Pawed by hundreds of small hands, the trophy added much event appeal. “A gold medal is special to everyone who sees it,” explained the star. “Few people imagine they might ever touch one.” The Carmichael Park District program provided free instruction by age group and featured precision-throw contests for young participants. Winners received volley balls signed by the superstar teacher. San Diego-raised Gardner, 38, is among many California athletes who annually volunteer their skills for Olympic Day. “There are potential stars at every clinic,” says the father of two. “It’s rewarding. You hope to give kids inspiration to dream big and go forward. As time passes in an athlete’s career, it’s good to remember you were once that kid.” H Volley ball gold medalist Gabe Gardner (center) was hero to 115 children who attended a National Olympic Day event at the La Sierra Center in Carmichael. The athlete dwarfed pupils during instruction clinics. Carmichael Park District hosted the program. Growing Older is Not a Disease!

Crews arrived to find multiple units heavily involved with fire. Due to the layout of the structure, the fire was spreading quickly, in multiple directions. Firefighters on five engines, four trucks, and one medic from Metro Fire and Sacramento Fire extinguished the fire, ventilated the structure and protected adjacent units from extension. A total of seven units were damaged by fire, while the aggressive tactics of crews on scene saved another 20 units and their contents. No firefighters or civilians were injured in the fire. Arson Investigators on scene have determined the cause to be improperly discarded smoking material in one of the units. Nobody was hurt in today’s fire, but possessions were still destroyed. Every year across the country, roughly 1,000 people are killed in fires caused by cigarettes and other smoking material. Protect yourself, your family and your home: if you smoke, put it out. All the way, every time.H Source: Sacrametno Metropolitan Fire District FCC Wants to Control Your Internet Special commentary by Jeff Mazzella, President, Center for Individual Freedom S A C R AMENTO R E G ION , C A (MPG) - Right now, the Obama Administration is on the verge of yet another intrusive government power grab. This time, it has its regulatory sights set squarely on the Internet. Obama's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is kneeling to extreme liberal special interest groups and their demands to remake the innovative, dynamic and free market Internet of today into a public utility controlled by the government. They want to classify the Internet as a monopoly telephone service so government can take regulatory control and decide what products and services can be offered online – think "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet. We have seen with Obamacare the total inability of this administration to manage a simple website. What makes anyone think it can actually control the Internet? We need your help – we must stop the liberal special interest groups and their push for government control over the Internet. Take Action Today: Please use this link to tell your Senators, Representative and the FCC to stop the government takeover of the Internet! H SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and state health officer, says the number of reportable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in California increased in 2013 according to data made public today. “Sexually transmitted diseases can cause major health problems for people over time,” said Dr. Chapman. “This increase is concerning, particularly because STDs are preventable.” The data show that almost 168,000 cases of chlamydia, over 38,000 cases of gonorrhea, over 3,500 cases of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis, almost 2,900 cases of early latent syphilis, and over 3,600 cases of late latent syphilis were reported in 2013, for a total of 216,000 reportable cases of STDs. In 2013, the rates of gonorrhea and P&S syphilis (the most infectious stages) increased substantially compared to 2012. In 2013, the gonorrhea rate increased 13 percent to 100.4 per 100,000 population, and the P&S syphilis rate increased 18 percent to 9.3 per 100,000 population. In contrast, in 2013 the rate of chlamydia cases decreased slightly for the first time in almost two decades, to 439.5 per 100,000 population, Chlamydia is the most commonly reported disease in California. STD rates continue to be highest in young people 15-24 years of age, especially for females, with over 66 percent of female chlamydia cases and over 54 percent of female gonorrhea cases being in this narrow age group. Young women are the most vulnerable to infertility and other long-term reproductive health problems caused by STDs. “Any sexually active person can get an STD through unprotected sex,” said Chapman. “They should talk with their health care provider and ask if testing for STDs is appropriate.” An online directory of test sites is available atfindstdtest.org. Many clinics offer free tests. Chapman pointed out that in addition to getting tested regularly, individuals can reduce their risk by using condoms, reducing their number of partners, being in a monogamous relationship or practicing abstinence. Profound racial disparities persist. In 2013, the AfricanAmerican gonorrhea rate of 351.1 per 100,000 was 6.2 times the non-Hispanic white rate of 56.9 per 100,000. CDPH has been working to address health disparities in STDs. The STD Control Branch has identified census tracts with high numbers of gonorrhea cases and significant racial disparities and has focused interventions in these areas. In addition, the Branch is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and California’s Department of Education to reduce the high rates of STDs among youth through supporting comprehensive sex education, improving access to sexual health services, and helping schools build supportive environments for all youth, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. CDPH trains medical providers to assure that they are assessing their patients’ risk for STDs, screening appropriately, and using the most effective treatments. CDPH also works closely with local health jurisdictions to coordinate disease prevention and control efforts statewide, including helping identify infected individuals and assuring that they and their partners get treated.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s contribution to the Washington Redskins debate is pettifogging absurdity in the service of rank politically correct bullying. A panel of the office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled in favor of plaintiffs claiming that the Redskins name “may disparage persons or bring them into contempt, or disrepute,” and therefore stripped the team of six trademarks. In theory, the ruling will hurt the team’s bottom line by making it impossible for it to stop others from selling its merchandise. Exercising his constitutional power as arbiter of tastefulness in sports, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rallied almost all of his Democratic colleagues a few months ago to implore the NFL to change the offending name, and hailed the patent ruling as the beginning of the end of the profound historical injustice perpetrated by the football franchise that dare not speak its name. The patent board ruled this way once before. In response to a complaint in the 1990s, the board made its decision, as it noted this time around, “after seven years of litigation, involving multiple discovery and pre-trial motions.” Then, the ruling was reversed in court -- after about another 10 years. Certainly, opinions differ about the appropriateness of “Redskins” as a nickname. But some perspective: There is no time in American history when Native Americans have been held in higher regard. Their nobility is celebrated in our popular culture, and their unjust treatment recounted in our schools. The existence of a professional football franchise with the same name that it has had for 80 years -- no matter how anachronistic -- has selfevidently not caused Native Americans to be held in contempt and disrepute. The Washington Post called the patent decision “a victory for tolerance.” A bureaucratic body seeking to harm a sports team because some people don’t like its nickname is a strange exercise in tolerance. The paper went on to note that LOCCAALL NNEEW WSS?? GGOOTT LO t c e f r e P e h T ! n o i t a n i b Com the tide is running against the Redskins since so many people have spoken out against them, “including the president of the United States and half of the United States Senate, which controls the tax breaks enjoyed by the NFL.” Get it? It would be too bad if something happened to your nice football league. How tolerant. In a section establishing the standing of the anti-Redskins petitioners, the patent panel made it clear they have no direct interest except that they are offended. Fine. Don’t be Redskins fans. Root for the Cowboys or the Giants, the team’s NFC East rivals. Never go to FedExField. Don’t buy Redskins paraphernalia. If you must support a Washington sports team, make it one with a nickname so thoroughly anodyne that even the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board approves -- the Major League Soccer team, D.C. United. But in the 21st century, this isn’t the American way. If something offends you, it must be crusaded against and crushed underfoot, using whatever instrument of power is available. That the franchise is holding firm against this assault is reason to say a hearty “Hail to the Redskins!” -while we still can. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

I never took a vow of poverty; it just seems to have worked out that way for me. I am so poor the church mice have packed their bags and moved on. If I knew where they moved to, I might join them. Being poor can have its advantages, but I have yet to run across any. I am so poor I am not able to pay attention, especially when watching some television program with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. This has caused no small problem with my wife. We love an evening of unwinding before the TV watching some of our favorite programs. I must confess those programs are getting less and less each year. Soon we are going to have to go back to reading books. Together we will be watching a program, and when I say “we,” I do it with certain modifications. My wife will get up and go to the kitchen for something and when she returns, she asks me a question, “What happened?” I look at her with one of my infamous quizzical looks and respond, “Where?” She then explains she is talking about what happened on the TV program while she was away. I then tell her, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” This seems to be a source of real frustration for her. “If you can’t afford to pay attention,” she will say sarcastically while rolling her eyes, “couldn’t you at least rent some attention some time?” I tried explaining to her that old age is making me a little more forgetful. She, however, is not buying it, so there goes my income stream. For me, watching television is not an obsession; it is more like a distraction. I do not follow every little bit on the television screen. For me it is not a matter of life or death, it is just a matter of recreation. I know that nothing on TV is real. We can be in the middle of the next program and I do not realize that the first program has ended. Talk about confusing! When something does catch my attention, boy does it have my attention. “Did you,” I ask my wife, “hear that?” Then it is role reversal in prime time. I will not say she acts like me, just that it comes pretty close to it. Not quite Oscar material, but close. “What?” She said with a very confused look on her face. So I had to explain the news story that I just happened to catch. I do not know all of the details, I was not paying that much attention, just that someone was fired from their job for saying to a customer, “Have a blessed day.” I have met many customer service people that said things that I would want them to be fired from, but this has never been on my list. My wife then asked the question I was thinking. “What is wrong with telling someone to have a blessed day?” I could not figure it out. It is like at Christmas time some places do not want their employees to say to the customer, “Merry Christmas.” The reasoning is, it might offend someone. What about us who are offended when somebody does not say Merry Christmas to us? This matter of being offended can go both ways. There should be an equal offended person law. There is a law for everything else. I just would like to meet the person who is offended by somebody saying to them, “Have a blessed day.” Later that evening I was watching a new crime/detective story on TV and all of a sudden, I heard some words that were offensive. They were saying curse words that I have never heard on TV before. I have always believed that if you have to use curse words, it is because your vocabulary is drastically lacking in intellectual responses to the world around you. Here is my dilemma. Why can you say curse words on TV, which everybody knows is scripted, but you cannot say, “Have a blessed day,” without getting fired? If I was in business I would want my employees to greet my clients with a cheerful, “Have a blessed day” and not some awful curse words. I was complaining about this to a friend of mine who explained to me that curse words on television are considered “literary license.” Who is paying for that license I am wondering. All of this has to do with the PC syndrome in our country today. The problem is what was PC yesterday is no longer PC today. Who knows what tomorrow’s PC will be. What I cannot accept is the fact that being crude and rude is PC and saying something nice is not. Have we reverted to the caveman mentality? Is being nice is no longer acceptable behavior? I like what David says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name” (Psalms 103:1). Perhaps the reason people are offended by that phrase is because they know that only God has the power to bless. If I am being blessed by God, I am going to turn around and bless people around me. So, for those offended by that phrase let me say, “Have a blessed day. And fire me if you dare.” H Rev. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, P.O. Box 831313, Ocala, FL 34483.

July 10, 2014 Carmichael Times Page 7 CSLB Undercover LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sting in Folsom Busts Unlicensed Contractors Carmichael Times Needs Folsom, CA (MPG) - A procession of suspected unlicensed contractors submitted bids for construction work at a Folsom home last week and walked into the waiting hands of Contractors State License Board (CSLB) undercover investigators. The undercover sting operation on Thursday, June 26, 2014, was conducted at a two-story home near Folsom Lake College by CSLB’s Statewide Investigative Fraud Team (SWIFT) with the help of Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office investigators and Folsom Police Department. The newer home restricted the range of projects that could be sought for bid to exterior ones such as painting, fencing, landscape, retaining walls, and pool tiling. Despite that limitation, there was no shortage of unlicensed operators who gave bids to investigators who posed as homeowners. The median bid was about $4,000, SWIFT investigators reported, with a high of $10,000 for an exterior painting job. In California, all home improvement jobs valued at $500 or more (combined labor and material costs) must be conducted by a company or person with a CSLB-issued license (Business and Professions Code section 7028). All 11 suspects were cited for contracting without a license. Nine face an additional misdemeanor charge of illegal advertising (Business and Professions Code section 7027.1). State law requires contractors to place their license number in all print, broadcast, and online advertisements. Those without a license can advertise for jobs valued at less than $500, but the ad must state that they are not a licensed contractor. One of the men showed investigators a contractor license number that did not belong to him and was cited on an additional charge (Business and Professions Code section 7027.3). About 70 percent of the suspect leads were found on the online bulletin board craigslist. “We have warned consumers many times about the importance of taking an extra minute to check CSLB’s website to make sure the contractor has a license in good standing if they’re going to use craigslist or other online bulletin boards,” CSLB Registrar Steve Sands said. “Licensed contractors use craigslist and other online sources as an advertising tool, but so do many unlicensed and unqualified people.” Suspects received Notice to Appear citations for 8:30 a.m. on September 17 or 18, 2014, in Sacramento County Superior Court, 720 Ninth St., Sacramento, CA 95814 to answer to illegal contracting charges. This is a list of the suspects and each suspect’s city of residence, license classification, and violations: • Jason Andrew Muller, West Sacramento, C8 - Concrete, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Christopher Ray Cunningham, Sacramento, C33 - Painting and Decorating, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Patrick Richard Beals, Folsom, C13 - Fencing Contracting without a license • Joshua Elias Valencia, Carmichael, C29 - Masonry, Contracting without a license • Gabriel Cortez, Citrus Heights, C33 - Painting and Decorating, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Gregory Alan Hayes, Grass Valley, C33 - Painting and Decorating Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising, Displaying a license not belonging to him • Jose Luis Tolentino, Roseville, C8 - Concrete, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Alejandro Arturo Diaz, Sacramento, C33 - Painting and Decorating, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Soroosh Reinhanihoseinabad, Citrus Heights, C33 - Painting and Decorating, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Bruce Timothy Aziz, Citrus Heights, C13 - Fencing Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising • Abenida Stephen Olenslager, Sacramento, C13 - Fencing, Contracting without a license, Illegal advertising CSLB encourages consumers to always “Check the License First” by visiting www.cslb. ca.gov or calling CSLB’s tollfree automated line, (800) 321-CSLB (2757).

H Source: CSLB Public Affairs Office Sacramento County DA Reports Recent cases of interest CASE: Allen Johnson (07/01/14) PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Jeff Harry, Special Assault & Child Abuse Unit District Attorney Jan Scully announced today that Allen Johnson was convicted by jury of four counts of lewd acts upon a child. In November and December 2011, Johnson sexually abused the then 13-year-old victim. When the mother of the victim caught Johnson in the act, she called 911 to report the crime. Despite the mother recanting her statement soon after, the victim remained strong and testified against her abuser in court. Johnson faces a potential maximum sentence of 14 years in state prison. Sentencing is set for July 25, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 26 of the Sacramento Superior Court. CASE: Michael Almeda & Rudy Villa (06/30/14) PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Donell Slivka, Homicide Unit District Attorney Jan Scully announced today that Michael Almeda and Rudy Villa were convicted by jury of first-degree murder. The jury also found true the special circumstance of shooting from a moving vehicle and arming allegations. On January 17, 2013, Almeda and Villa shot and killed Alexander Chavez in a drive-by shooting. Both defendants face life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sentencing is set for August 8, 2014 in Department 17 before the Honorable Ernest Sawtelle. CASE: James Leoncio, Jude Leoncio, Philip Sarmiento, Juan Tenorio, Laurence Viernes, Glyn Villegas, German Zagada & Jo Anne Keeney (06/27/14) PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Sue Wilson, Consumer & Environmental Protection Unit District Attorney Jan Scully announced that James Leoncio, Jude Leoncio, Philip Sarmiento, Juan Tenorio, Laurence Viernes, Glyn Villegas and German Zagada all pled to felony charges of filing false documents with a government agency and forgery on May 13, 2014. Today, the Honorable Kevin McCormick sentenced them each to 210 days in county jail. Between April 2006 and July 2010, the defendants each paid co-defendant, Jo Anne Keeney, approximately $25,000 to provide them with false academic credentials in order to obtain registered nursing licenses. Keeney provided forged diplomas and transcripts from two different nursing colleges in the Philippines to each of the defendants, who then filed them with the Board of Registered Nursing in support of their applications for nursing licenses. The defendants obtained registered nursing licenses and worked at various hospitals throughout Southern and Central California. Keeney is believed to have returned to the Philippines and has an outstanding warrant for her arrest in the case. Judge McCormick noted the inherent unfairness and harm of the defendants’ actions to all those registered nurses who have devoted the time and energy to obtain their licenses lawfully. Deputy District Attorney Sue Wilson stated, “By circumventing the licensing requirements that were created to protect the public, the defendants’ actions presented a tremendous risk of harm to unsuspecting patients.” The case was investigated by members of a task force comprised of investigators with the Department of Consumer Affairs and federal agents. CASE: Brian Keith Jones (06/20/14) PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Donell Slivka, Homicide Unit District Attorney Jan Scully announced today that the Honorable Marjorie Koller sentenced Brian Keith Jones to 58 years to life in prison. On March 19, 2014, a jury convicted Jones of first-degree murder and shooting into an occupied motor vehicle. In December 2012, Jones shot and killed 36-year-old Duane Lomax who was in his car in the Foothill Farms area of Sacramento County. Diverse Viewpoints Dear Mr. Scholl, There is a growing liberal thinking population now living in Carmichael. We object to Carmichael Times consistently ultra conservative articles, especially the most recent article of July 3 “Supreme Court Strikes Down ObamaCare HHS Abortion Mandate”. On this July 4 “Independence Day” I think of the “Rights” of millions of women in our democracy whose rights for wellbeing are denied, due to the recent Supreme Court decision giving religious freedom to private forprofit corporations that sell such secular products as pens, paste and paints. The title of the article was an error: this court decision was related to prescribed birth control medications NOT “abortion”. The quote from Mat Staver, founder and director of Liberty Counsel is an insult to our Bill of Rights in writing “…subjecting employers to such extortion”. His writing is an insult to the President of the United States of America in saying “President Obama and those who supported this GENOCIDE should be ashamed”. To many others living in Carmichael there is no justice in putting the rights of a few for profit corporations over the wellbeing and health of millions of women. In future articles, consider the growing number of residents in Carmichael that have diverse viewpoints. H Submitted by Carmichael resident Alice Ginosar Job Demand & Hiring Trends in the 3rd Quarter of 2014 Continued from Page 1 of the Sacramento area as firms report they can’t find qualified applicants in sufficient numbers to meet demands for IT needs. Sales and customer service are in demand with employers in the Sacramento market also looking for workers to manufacture, warehouse, and ship products in the third quarter. A significant shortage of drivers for route and delivery needs was also noted among companies across the board. Sacramento Regional Top Companies Polled By Industry: 40% are Service, 31% are Manufacturers, 21% are Construction and 8% are Retail. Special Report on Veteran’s Employment Opportunity in Sacramento As conflict winds to a close in Afghanistan, as many as 30,000 military men and women are expected to return from service each year to reenter the California job market. Sacramento employers answered without reservation and are unanimous in saying they will hire a qualified veteran when asked. Thirty percent (30%) say they have a veteran hiring program or policy. Regional companies deserve a salute as more than half of those surveyed or fifty-four percent (54%) say they have hired a veteran to go to work in the last year. How does this Quarter compare to last Quarter, or last year? Find out for yourself. For more information, employment blogs & market surveys go to www.pacificstaffing.com.

The initial APR is based on the Index value of 3.25% and a margin of .75%. A qualifying transaction consists of the following conditions: (1) the initial APR assumes a maximum HELOC of $100,000, and a total maximum Loan-To-Value Ratio (LTV) of 70% including the new HELOC and any existing 1st Deed of Trust loan on your residence; (2) your residence securing the HELOC must be a single-family home that you occupy as your primary residence; (3) if the 1st Deed of Trust loan is with a lender other than El Dorado Savings Bank, that loan may not exceed $200,000 and may not be a revolving line of credit. Additional property restrictions and requirements apply. All loans are subject to a current appraisal. Property insurance is required and flood insurance may be required. The APR may vary based on changes in the value of the Index. The Index for the 10-year draw period is the highest prime rate as published in the Money Rates column in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month. The minimum APR on all Home Equity Lines of Credit is 3.50% and the maximum APR that can apply is 10%. Rates, APR, terms, and conditions are subject to change without notice. Other conditions apply.

But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Applying a more personal view to a job-linked issue could help provide better insight into those persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double-talk. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through that seemingly endless round of demands. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new perspective. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Restoring a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of effort.

Also, check out a new career possibility. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might have difficulty getting your opinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Others should line up with you once they learn the facts. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Offering to help a colleague is commendable.

Housing includes Taxes and Insurance Dear Dave, You recommend that no more than 25 percent of your monthly income go toward a house payment. Does this figure include taxes and insurance too? - Ryan Dear Ryan, Yes, it does. Your housing payment should not exceed 25 percent of your monthly take- home pay on a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage. When it comes to buying a house, the goal is not to live in the Taj Mahal or have something so expensive you end up being “house poor.” When buying a home, especially for first-time homebuyers, you should look for something nice — in a decent area — that you can get paid off as quickly as possible. It’s really not a big deal if you cheat a couple of percentage points one way or the other. But 25 percent is a good rule of thumb to ensure you’ll still have money left over to live on, save and invest! - Dave Be Very Kind and Very Grateful Dear Dave, My mom and dad took out a whole life insurance policy for me when I was born. The cash value is $2,500, and my husband and I want to cash it out and put the money toward paying off debt. We already have larger term life insurance policies in place, but I’m worried that doing this will offend my parents. What should I do? - Laura Dear Laura, I think the real question is how many toxic things will you do because you’re afraid you might offend them. Whole life policies are financially toxic. They’re a bad product, and keeping it for no better reason than it might hurt their feelings a little bit isn’t much of a reason — especially when the alternative is paying down debt and getting your financial life in order. I know this is mom and dad we’re talking about, so you’ll have to be nice about everything. But at the same time, your parents have to realize it’s your life and you make the decisions. Try sitting down with them and gently explaining that while you appreciate and love them for their generosity, you’re going to cash it out and use it to get out of debt. Let them know you’re not wasting their gift, and that you’re using it to make a positive impact on your lives. You’re not doing anything disrespectful, Laura. Just be very clear about the reason and loving with your explanation. Then, if they chose to become a little emotional or resentful, that’s on them. If they get really upset and want the money back, you can do that too. But getting your financial house in order is much more important than hanging on to a bad financial product you don’t need in the first place. - Dave *For more financial help, please visit daveramsey.com. H Complete Collision Repair Free Estimates 24 Hour Towing We Work with All Insurance Companies “We Meet By Accident” up to 00 500 Instant Rebate $ C A R MI C HAEL , CA (MPG) - Sacramento’s Jesuit High School Robotics Team defended its underwater championship title at the 13th annual Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) International Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) competition at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, MI. The results were announced Saturday, June 28, 2014. Jesuit Robotics competed against 28 teams representing schools from Canada, China, China-Hong Kong, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. At the end of competition, Jesuit High School (Carmichael, CA, United States), was counted as one of five 2014 MATE finalists with Bauman Moscow Technical University (Moscow, Russia), Far Eastern Federal University (Vladivostok, Russia), Maritime State University (Vladivostok, Russia), and Alexandria University (Alexandria, Egypt.) In addition to achieving the overall MATE championship, Jesuit High School also won the “Best Poster” competition which presented the MATE challenge and Jesuit Robotics’ solution to the general public. That poster will be published in an upcoming issue of the prestigious Journal of Ocean Technology. Jesuit Robotics’ 2012 MATE poster was also published in the Journal of Ocean Technology. Senior Alex Aprea was awarded the honor of “Engineering MVP,” in recognition of his excellent leadership in the engineering presentation of the competition. Jesuit Robotics’ 20-member team developed their 2014 ROV over the course of six months to accomplish a series of tasks and challenges defined by the MATE board, with a theme of exploring the Great Lakes and preserving our national marine heritage sites. The mission tasks simulated exploring, surveying and identifying a shipwreck, then conducting scientific studies and conservation activities around the wreck. Jesuit’s robotics students machined nearly every major component on the vehicle, built unique printed circuit boards, wrote control software, and developed sensors and fiberglass buoyancy devices. Using structured program management techniques, Jesuit Robotics students then practiced the many complex and time limited tasks required to successfully complete the 2014 MATE challenge. In addition to the actual mission execution, Jesuit students wrote a 25 page technical report Music Camp: Holy Moses! Bring It On! Sacramento Region, CA (MPG) - Music Camp is coming! Join in for a fun-filled week where kids can share in rhythm and note-reading, singing, creative music, and instrumental instruction (beginning and intermediate) on woodwinds, brass, strings, guitar, and ukulele. Camp is July 28–August 1, 8 a.m.-12p.m. at Northminster Presbyterian Church, 3235 Pope Avenue, Sacramento. All lessons require the student to have an instrument. Instruments can be rented at any local music store. Chimes and recorders will be provided. Music Camp is for children grades 1-6 and youth mentors grades 7-8. The week culminates with a musical performance that demonstrates the children’s newly learned talents on Sunday, August 3, during the worship service. This year’s musical is Holy Moses, a modern day children’s look at the highlights of Moses’ life in a showbiz way. The musical is loaded with songs full of puns such as “Moses was a basket case.” Yet, it packs a powerful godly message for all.

The Jesuit Robotics team won the championship in 2007, 2011 and 2013. It is the first team in the history of MATE competition to win back-to-back championships, 2013 and 2014. These achievements are all the more remarkable as Jesuit High School is one of only a small number of secondary schools to compete against university teams in the Explorer Class of the MATE competition. Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) international competition is funded by the National Science Foundation, the Marine Technology Society ROV Committee, and other international organizations and businesses. MATE challenges K-12, community college, and university students to design and build ROVs to tackle missions modeled after real-life experience working in deep water environments.

A majority suffer from discomfort as a result of loose or illfitting dentures. Many prosthetic wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of having to wear their dentures. Lower dentures almost never fit properly. They are loose fitting due to less surface area which can’t create a suction, shrinking gum tissue and bone loss, which can cause irritation in the mouth, sores and pain. The only relief is using sticky dental adhesive to help it, but it is very messy, hard to clean off and needs multiple applications throughout the day. Upper dentures are better than lower dentures due to a suction in the upper palate that keeps the denture in place. However, having the palate covered reduces the tastes of foods and the ability to tell the temperature of foods. Partial Dentures can be a source of discomfort due to lack of supporting teeth or an illfitting partial. Partials also use clasps to secure to existing teeth which can be noticeable and can put added pressure to the existing teeth. Now there is a solution to these issues, Implants with “Snap On” Dentures! 2 Implants With Attachments to a Denture $2000 Off Whether you are new to dentures or have worn them for years, a snap on denture is a great solution to uncomfortable chewing and slippery painful dentures. There are several types of snap on dentures available, including snap on partials. We make your denture or partial fit and function in harmony with the space available in your mouth, and give custom attention to the delicate fabrication of your snap on denture. A snap on denture gets some support from the implants that it snaps onto. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, a snap on denture is anchored to multiple implant snaps and is therefore much more stable and comfortable. Two or more implant snaps can be used on the upper and/or lower jaw. The more snaps that are placed, the more stable the denture will be. Much like a four legged chair would be more stable than a three or two legged chair, the use of denture snaps keep the denture stable, secure and comfortable. These snaps are designed with different levels of retention, customized to the needs of the patient. When the snaps wear out, replacing them is a simple and inexpensive procedure. If you already wear a conventional denture or partial denture, we can sometimes use your denture to accommodate the snaps to fit on your new dental implants. If you are interested in learning more about improving your quality of life with an implant retained snap on denture or partial, please contact us for a FREE Consultation today!
