PLEASE HELP US SAVE OUR RINK!
Some of you may know that Lauren Hulten & Jaime Shirley started a roller derby league 3 yrs ago. You probably didn’t know that all league members are required to put in 15 hours of community service every season and that we give 10% of our games profits to charity. Last year we put in over 500 man hours of community service and gave over $5,000 dollars to charity.
Please help us keep our one and only skate rink in San Jose!!
Malice in Wonderland?
Affordable housing vs. roller derby
Posted: 02/18/2010 06:26:16 PM PST
Updated: 02/18/2010 10:18:57 PM PST
When Liz Ruiz pulls on her torn fishnet stockings, elbow pads and a helmet for next month's roller derby match, "Malice in Wonderland," she will become Liz Palooza. A blocker for the Silicon Valley Roller Girls team, Palooza is known for skating backward very fast. The skill comes in handy for bumping opposing skaters on their fannies.
But starting last week, her main goal is to knock another opponent off track: an affordable housing development that would eliminate San Jose's last indoor roller skating rink and the team's home track.
"If we don't have a home rink, we won't be able to do it," Ruiz said recently at a tense public meeting in South San Jose packed with more than 100 roller derby players, neighbors and recreational skaters.
Most of the time, opposition to low-income housing usually dwells on what a neighborhood would receive — increased traffic, decreased property values, lowlifes and so on. In this case, the problem is what the area would lose — the San Jose Skate roller rink, which remains beloved even though it has seen better days since opening in 1976.
"It does make this project different for us," said Kathy Robinson, director of housing development at Charities Housing. "Here you have two public interests: housing and skating. My own kids used to skate there!"
'Still affordable'
Robinson's nonprofit hopes to build 150 studio apartments for the
working poor, most of them individuals, couples and single parents who hold low-wage jobs. But first the organization must persuade City Hall to rezone the property from commercial to residential. The rink sits on a two-acre property owned by the Health Trust, a San Jose-based nonprofit seeking to sell it.
Although Robinson and her staff tried to address the audience's worst fears — for example, how Charities Housing screens out felons, addicts, child molesters and other unwanted renters — some in the crowd simply didn't buy it.
"I don't care what your statistics say," a woman shouted from her seat, "we don't want it!" And a man standing near the door added, "I guarantee you, it'll bring drugs, alcohol and gangs with it."
But by the time the meeting ended, the not-in-my-backyard sentiments had subsided, and a new opposition strategy quietly emerged: Local residents would team up with the Silicon Valley Roller Girls to save San Jose Skate as a recreational and social amenity the neighborhood can't afford to lose.
"You don't see a lot of family activity here," said Deborah Torrens, president of the Blossom Valley Neighborhood Association. "We want something that draws people to our community." A few days later at the South San Jose rink, San Jose Skate general manager Mike van Leeuwen eagerly ran through some not great but not bad numbers recorded on his cell phone: Since last July, 12,000 people have skated there; the rink hosted 150 birthday parties and donated $10,000 to local parent-teacher associations.
In most ways, San Jose Skate is a typical roller rink — admission $7, including skate rental — with strobe lights, piped-in pop music, video games, hot dogs and popcorn.
"It's still affordable compared to bowling, museums and even miniature golf," said Cindi D'Souza, a local stay-at-home mom who had brought her four young children and two of their friends to the rink. D'Souza said she paid only $45 for four hours of skating for all of them. "It would be a shame to see this place go away."
'Save Our Rink'
Several teenagers on winter break also said the rink offers safe fun.
"It's cheap, and I like the music here," said Javier Velez, 13. "There's no violence."
Van Leeuwen acknowledges he could draw more skaters, but it would take about $500,000 to resurface the parking lot and refurbish the rink's carpets and lights. He won't spend that much without a long-term lease, but the Health Trust only wants to sell the building. Buying the building with the Silicon Valley Roller Girls is a possibility, van Leeuwen said, but it's only a fancy notion right now.
The Roller Girls are actually a nonprofit organization, not a professional team, explained Ruiz, the team's vice president. Members donate hundreds of hours to raise money for the rink, local charities and schools.
Meanwhile, Charities Housing will rely on its record to convince City Hall and neighbors that affordable housing would give the community a bigger boost than the rink.
The nonprofit, which grew out of Catholic Charities and is now independent, has built about 850 affordable units in 16 developments spread across the county.
But why that site? Why not pick one without a roller rink or, for that matter, a bowling alley or the valley's last pomegranate orchard?
"There are no vacant parcels left," Robinson said, exaggerating only a little. "It takes the right location, the right price and a willing seller to make it work."
Robinson said low-income renters need the same neighborhood amenities as middle-class homeowners.
"They need schools, grocery stores and shopping nearby, too," Robinson said. She expects that some residents already living or working in the Blossom Valley neighborhood would qualify for a studio.
It takes about five years to build affordable housing in Silicon Valley, and this project might take more. Just before leaving the rink, Velez signed on to a "Save-Our-Rink" mailing list and said he would attend the next public hearing.
The boy declared with determination, "They can't close this place."

I note from Nicolette Virgilio :)
Good morning!
"The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others."
- John Locke
Thank you all for attending your Keller Williams monthly Short Sale Synergy Group yesterday. Jeanie and I are honored to be a part of the title and escrow portion of this meeting. I saw this quote last night and I thought immediately of our monthly meetings. What a great way for all levels of experience within the short sale arena to come together and review experiences, challenges and most importantly to discover new tools and solutions for this avenue of business. We are all faced with short sales daily, and they will continue to be prevalent in our marketplace for a long time. Education, sharing experiences and solutions are how we can increase professionalism and gain some level of consistency in how we handle these types of transactions. I would highly encourage you to invite other agents, prospective recruits for your office and whoever you feel would benefit from this type of round table interaction. Knowledge is power!
As promised here are the notes from yesterdays meeting. Please note that our next Short Sale Synergy Group will take place in your office on Tuesday March 16th at 12:00. There will be new information, education and updates at each meeting so please don't feel that if you already attended there will be repeat information. Thanks again for the opportunity to partner with you and your office on the success of this group. We pride ourselves on integrity, passion for the industry, and are supported by the number one title company in financial strength and security for you and your clients. We would love the opportunity to partner with your individual teams to support your title and escrow needs! Thanks again and look forward to seeing you at the next group meeting.

Agent Achieve Users - New and Old - Important Update!
Good Morning:
We have great news on the Agent Achieve front! We are about to convert our billing system to bill you directly for Agent Achieve. This change will take place beginning 3/1/10.
When this change takes place, you will need to have a credit card or debit card to enter into the Agent Achieve system at your first log in on March 1, 2010. We accept MasterCard, VISA, and American Express in the form of credit cards, debit cards, and bank (checking debit) cards.
To answer questions regarding this change, some FAQ’s are listed below:
Q. What is the billing change and how does it affect the user?
A. You will pay MarketLinx directly for AgentAchieve with a credit card instead of being billed by
your Market Center. This only affects who you will pay for AgentAchieve services. The price
will remain the same: $89.95
Q. Why is this change happening?
A. This is a result of many requests to have direct-agent billing, by both Market Centers and
Agents using the AgentAchieve system.
Q. When is this change taking place?
A. Your first log-in to AgentAchieve on or after March 1, 2010 will require a credit card to access
your account and this will create an automatic monthly billing profile to continue to access
your account.
Q. Who is affected by this change?
A. Any user with an active, standard, AgentAchieve account.
Q. Where do I enter my credit card so I can continue with Agent Achieve services?
A. An ordering screen will appear automatically the first time you log into AgentAchieve on or
after March 1, 2010. This screen allows you to enter your credit card.
We have tried to anticipate any questions that may arise with the FAQ list above. Additionally, to answer further questions you might have, Toby Silva, Sr. Technical Trainer, and I will be hosting 2 Webinars to explain how to complete the credit card screen and answer any questions. These will be held on Thurs, Feb 18, 2010 at 10:30 AM and again on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 1:30 PM, for 30 minutes each.
To register for Thursday, February 18th from 10:30am-11:30am (PST) please click the link below:

To register for Wednesday, February 24th from 1:30pm-2:30pm (PST) please click the link below:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/713277347
NOTE: You will automatically receive a confirmation email with a call-in number and instructions to join the webinar. Please do not forward your confirmation email, as the link provided in the email confirmation is unique to your registration.
Please feel free to register for either, or both, of the webinars. These are open-forum type webinars to help guide you with the upcoming changes to your AgentAchieve account on March 1st, 2009. During these sessions, we will be presenting the new method to sign-up for a personal Keller Williams AgentAchieve account and highly encourage everyone to attend at least one session.
The sooner you log in to AgentAchieve on March 1, 2010 and complete the process to transition to direct-billing, the quicker your website will be re-established on the internet.
I am happy to take your questions at any time. I can be reached at 925-852-0126, x.110; or you can email me at: billing@soniceagle.com. Feel free to call or email me.
