OVER 1,800 HOMES SOLD IN 33 YEARS MOUNTAIN VIEW, LOS ALTOS & SURROUNDING AREAS “Howard helped us sell our home in Mountain View and did a great job. The real estate market can be fast moving and we really appreciated Howard’s hands-on and reassuring presence. His years of experience and connections paved the way for us. We recommend him highly.” - Martin L., Mountain View HOWARD BLOOM Lic. #00893793 650.619.2737 REALTOR® – SINCE 1985 I WWW.HOWARDBLOOM.COM I [email protected] 2 | Mountain View Voice | mv-voice.com Derk Brill’s success in the Mid- Peninsula real estate market is no secret. Derk has been a Mountain View resident for over 20 years, having raised his family in Waverly Park. His experience and expertise have enabled Derk to attain the status of top producing agent in the local Alain Pinel office, as well as being among the elite agents in the United States. Derk’s philosophy of client service differs significantly from most top producing agents. He offers a hands-on, personal approach to the sale of a home. This extends from the preparation process through the close of escrow. Rather than handing a client off to a series of assistants, Derk manages every aspect of the sale including property prep, marketing, open houses, negotiation, and closing. This provides a seamless transaction from beginning to end. Alain Pinel Realtors’ partnership with Luxury Portfolio International ensures that in addition to local and national marketing, Derk’s clients benefit from extensive international exposure through a large network of brokerages throughout the world. If you are considering selling or buying a home in the mid-peninsula, contact Derk to leverage the expertise of a true local.

I enjoyed last year’s campaign so much that I couldn’t wait to get started again. Together, we raised $8.7 million for our favorite charities. I am proud to say this was the most we’ve ever raised and the biggest annual increase in the history of the campaign. It was truly a fantastic year, and working with so many wonderful and compassionate volunteers was a tremendous inspiration. In fact, my belief that Californians are the most generous people in the world is stronger than ever, and I know that we can set the bar even higher this year.

  • Frequency of Occurrence of Birds in Alum Rock Park, Santa Clara
    itI8 Vol. xXx1x FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE OF ,BIRDS IN ALUM ROCK PARK, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA WITH rW0‘ GRAPHS By JEAN M. LINSDALE and THoMAS L. RODGERS Alum Rock Park, in the foothills of the Mount Hamilton Range, eight miles northeast of San Jose, California, occupies a canyon which in many ways typifies the hilly part of central California. Recently we were given opportunity to analyze bird records kept by several observers on 138 field trips to this park. From ‘these we have determined the frequency index of each species, and we present the results here as indicating satisfactorily the ranking of the birds according to relative frequency of occurrence in this neighborhood. For the records we are indebted to the following persons whose notes were used for the numbers of days indicated: James Peterson, 99; Gayle B. Pickwell, 28; Miss Emily Smith, 10; Tom Rodgers, 1. The time covered extends from the spring of 1929 to the fall of 1936. Sometimes only part days were represented, and for most of the lists there was no anticipation that they would be used for the present purpose. Field days by months numbered as follows: January 8; February, 12; March, 11; April, 12; May, 11; June, 15; July, 7; August, 17; September, 9; October, 16; November, 5; December, 1.5. This park contains approximately one thousand acres, and it is located in an east-west running canyon with a small permanent stream. The park occupies about three miles of the canyon and varies in . 100% width up to half a mile. The mouth of the 90 canyon opens out to grass-covered hills 60 having scattered California sage and bac- charis; the stream sinks into the floor of 70 the valley except in time of flood.

This area includes East Foothills and parts of San Jose, which are communities on the California Fire Alliance list of Communities at Risk from wildfire. Most of the area covered by the East Foothills Community Wildfire Protection Plan is in the San Jose Fire Department (SJFD) coverage area. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF, now CAL FIRE) provides support in SJFD’s jurisdiction in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas. In unincorporated Santa Clara County areas, SJFD provides first responder fire and medical coverage under contract to Santa Clara County. Development of this Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) was funded by a National Fire Plan grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management through the California Fire Safe Council and by local matching contributions from companies, organizations and individuals. This CWPP was prepared following the California Fire Alliance CWPP Planning Process and meets or exceeds the general objectives for CWPPs as well as the specific objectives established for this CWPP (see Section I.A.5).
