What Trauma Victims Need You to Know
A friend, who was badly traumatized by her caregivers in early childhood and cruelty from employers, created this brochure, to be printed two-sided, to be handed to her health providers to help them understand her past, and how it can be triggered by them if they don’t take care to treat her humanely. For more information about Adverse Childhood Experiences check out the ACEs Connection website.

Small Business Guidance and Loan Resources during Covid19
At a meeting of the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce I heard several speakers on the topic of financial relief to small businesses because of economic disruption due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. My main takeaway was that each small business owner should get a free business councilor through the SBDC to help figure out which sort of relief funding would be best in their situation. The nearest SBC Center to Milpitas is the Alameda County SBDC at Ohlone College in Fremont. A little further away is the Silicon Valley SBDC – Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Monterey Rd. Your business is Top of Mind for Us The Norcal SBDC wants…

Silicon Valley Singles Center
In a nutshell: Milpitas is not a good city for singles. Out of about 19,000 homes in Milpitas, nearly 16,000 are family-led. Few homes are owned by single people (705), and young adults tend to live with their parents, or other willing relative willing to take them in as they get started. So when looking for someone to date, singles need to look outside into the wider population of Silicon Valley. There is virtually no night life here, unless you count Dave & Busters. They’ve got money, power and huge hard drives so why aren’t Silicon Valley’s finest getting any? In Silicon Valley the biggest immigration problem may be sex.…

Fiber Optic Cable
Optic Trunk Comes Through Milpitas Sunday my son and I watched as the Utilities Construction Company strung fiber optic cable on top of (turned off) power towers that run parallel to Milpitas Boulevard, about a half block to the east. We chatted with an inspector for the company, who told us that they were going to be stringing the cable all around the Bay Area. This particular cable started in Hayward, so scenes like this will be common in the Bay Area for the next couple of weeks. Unlike another cable laying construction company that has been getting in trouble for laying cable through Indian burial grounds, this company specializes…
