YOUR VOICE

By Armondo Apodaca,

It is very important to vote, it is

the way an individual or group

can express their opinion for-

mally or officially. Individuals

can vote in many situations such

as students when they vote for

class officers or in a voting of

officers in a board room. Voting

on public issues and laws, or

public office in the United States

is especially important. This is

how your voice will be heard.

You may think my one vote will

not make difference but believe

it really does. It can elect a pub-

lic official or not elect a public

official. Voting is free and volun-

tary you can not be forced to

vote. You cannot be stopped

from voting. It is also private. To

vote you must be 18 years old,

a citizen of the United States

on registered to vote. Some

states require periods of resi-

dency. You cannot be a felon.

It is always important that you

vote, this year our country

needs our voice to be heard

more than ever. The issues

facing our country are needing

action and we need to choose

our officials wisely. And re-

member one vote can make all

the difference in the world.

They make the decisions that

shape our world so we need to

vote with great care to our

future.

In the early days of the Untied

States voting was limited to

free white men who owned

property and had certain reli-

gious qualifications. The 15th

amendment after the Civil War

gave the vote to men of all rac-

es. Women did not win the right

to vote until the 1920’s with the

19th amendment. We have not

always had the right to vote so

we need to use it wisely and

also appreciate the work of our

ancestors who fought for that

right. It appalls me that so

many people do not vote. This

is your voice that needs to be

heard loudly.

Protect Your Business From Burglary

By Karen Gross State Farm Agent For businesses making their way in

a tough economy, burglary can

mean the difference between stay-

ing afloat and going under. A few

steps designed to help prevent

business burglary can go a long way

toward protecting your investment.

Shine A Light On Intruders

Good Lighting Deters Crime

Good interior and exterior

lighting is one of the most

effective deterrents against

crime.

Pay special attention to areas

that are not in plain view –

where intruders often gain

entry.

Make sure lighting fixtures

stay in good working order.

―The risks of not having

proper auto coverage‖

Ambassador Luncheon

Reduce the chance of break-

age by paying attention to

where light fixtures are

placed, using lights in cages,

and choosing durable prod-

ucts.

Damaged or burned-out bulbs

should be replaced immedi-

ately.

Keep valuable merchandise

illuminated but away from

display windows, where goods

can be easy targets for a

"smash and grab" – when

thieves quickly break, grab,

and flee.

A Well-Maintained Exterior

Overgrown shrubbery, vehicles, and

trash dumpsters near buildings

provide excellent cover for burglars.

Keeping trees and shrubs trimmed

away from windows and doors can

help minimize hiding places around

buildings.

Secure Windows And Doors

Windows

Exterior windows can be covered

with burglar-resistant glazing, which

provides the appearance of glass

(Continued from page 1) and increases security. Consult a

security expert to find out more

about glazing.

Many window locks are simple

latches that can be pried open. Ask

a locksmith or security supplier

about more secure window locks.

Doors

Consider installing exterior

doors constructed from solid-

core wood or metal that fit

tightly into the doorframe.

Other burglary prevention tips

include:

A heavy-duty deadbolt lock

with a heavy-duty strike plate

can be installed using three-

inch screws that penetrate the

wall stud.

Add a doorjamb reinforcement

for extra strength against an

intruder trying to kick open the

door.

Side and rear doors should be

made of solid wood or steel

construction and installed in

reinforced steel frames.

Avoid using doors with

hinge pins on the outside

where they can be easily re-

moved. Equip outward swing-

ing doors with hinges that

have non-removable pins.

Secure overhead garage-

type doors with padlocks on

the roller channel.

Deter Intruders With An Alarm

System

An alarm system is one of the

best ways you can help protect

your property against burglary.

There are a variety of different

alarms available, ranging from

very basic local alarms to central

station systems.

Detection Equipment

Alarms can involve protection of the

perimeter, area, or object. Perime-

ter protection covers the outside

surface of the building. Area protec-

tion covers an entire space or area

– such as the inside of a building.

Object protection covers a particu-

lar object — such as a safe.

Alarm And Video Monitoring

Alarm systems offer a network of

surveillance equipment that auto-

matically notifies a central monitor-

ing service when the system detects

unauthorized intruders. Trained

staff at the service will then contact

both the owners and the authori-

ties.

Video technology gets smaller,

better, and cheaper every year. For

a modest investment, you can cover

the perimeter of your business with

video surveillance, and also digitally

record substantial amounts of vid-

eo. What you capture could play an

important role in catching a thief

and retrieving your property.

Check all alarms, services, and

burglary equipment for Underwriters

Laboratories, Inc. listings or other

agency approvals to assure they

meet quality standards.

Protect Valuable Items

Even if your business does not

stock valuable items, consider the

money or checks you routinely han-

dle. Deposit large amounts of mon-

ey in the bank as soon as possible,

but if you must keep substantial

amounts, keep them in a safe for

protection from fire and theft.

Safes are classified as either fire

resistive or burglary resistive and

are rated for performance by Under-

writers Laboratories, Inc. Select a

safe based on the valuables to be

protected. A higher level of protec-

tion should be chosen for high value

merchandise or large amounts of

money.

By anchoring a safe in a well-lit

area, there's a better chance bur-

glars will be noticed if they try to

open or remove it.

wooden sign on the front porch of a

small office building across from

Porterville High School. The office

building was previously a house built

by students at Porterville High

answer the phone. Helen will tell you

that she did much more than answer

the phone. In fact she spent over 20

years working with Tom as his office

“The risks of not having proper auto coverage”

offers you will now be held lia-

ble/accountable for the remaining

costs not covered by your insurance

plan.

That is why at Chavez insurance

we believe it is crucial to make a

proper assessment of our cus-

tomer’s insurance needs. It is

important for our home owners

or business owners to have

higher coverage’s that will pro-

tect their assets from a possible

lien or law suit. Too many times

customers will compromise

coverage to save a few dollars,

and come to find the hard way

they should have had broader

coverage. No one likes to consid-

er or plan for an accident, but

the beauty of insurance is just

that. It protects you, your loved ones

and your acquired assets from the

unpredictable surprises of life. We

invite you to call our office and have

one of our expert agents tailor a quote

specifically around your needs. Be-

cause we believe peace of mind should

not have a price.

Insurance

The law requires all drivers to have

a certain amount of liability cover-

age given that you may hit/injure or

damage someone or someone’s

property in an accident.

Such bodily liability protects you as

a driver of being liable to them for

the cost of medical injuries, or prop-

erty damages you may cause them

in a collision if you are determined

to be at fault. Medicals bills add up

quickly as auto repair costs do, and

unfortunately should the damages

exceed the coverage your insurance

Three reasons why life insurance is too important to put off.

if something happens to you.

Life insurance gets more expensive,

and harder to get, the longer you

wait.

Since life insurance premiums are

based, in part, on your age and

health, the longer you wait, the

more you may ultimately pay for

coverage. Also, if your health begins

to fail, you may have to overpay just

to get coverage—if you can qualify

for insurance at all.

Whole life insurance builds cash

value.

In addition to paying a death bene-

fit, whole life insurance policies

accumulate cash value on a tax-

deferred basis. As long as the policy

remains in force, you can use this

money to start a business, buy a

new home—anything you want. The

sooner you start paying policy pre-

miums, the faster your cash value

may grow.

At first glimpse, life insurance may

not seem like an immediate need.

But if you are married, own a home,

or have children, there are plenty of

compelling reasons why purchasing

a life insurance policy should rank

high on your list. Take a moment to

look into it, and see how easy it can

be to give yourself—and your loved

ones—this valuable protection.

It isn’t easy being an adult. Some-

times you have to make hard deci-

sions—like what to do with your

limited financial resources. Is it

better to save for your children’s

education, set aside funds for re-

tirement, or prepare for unexpected

events like a medical emergency?

Given these—and all the other de-

mands on your money—it’s easy to

see how life insurance can get lost

in the mix. What you may not real-

ize, however, is just how costly

delaying the purchase of life insur-

ance can be. In fact, waiting just a

few years could have lasting reper-

cussions. Consider the following:

Your family depends on you—and

your income.

While nobody thinks it will happen

to them, tragic events can—and do—

take place every day. Therefore,

every day that you are not insured

puts your family’s lifestyle and fu-

ture at risk. After all, how long do

you think they could get by without

your income to help support them?

With life insurance, your loved ones

will not lose their financial security

Board Lowers Gas Tax 2.2 cents per Gallon

―As your elected taxpayer

advocate, I'm fighting to

make sure all Californians

are treated fairly and to

promote tax policies that

help grow our economy. I'm

always willing to hear your

ideas on how we can work

together to solve the tough-

est problems facing our

state.‖ GEORGE RUNNER

During the Board of Equali-

zation's February meeting, I

joined a 3-2 vote to lower

the state excise tax on

gasoline by 2.2 cents per

gallon effective July 1,

2016.

Our vote was simply a mat-

ter of fairness. Californians

overpaid gas tax last year

because of a bizarre formu-

la known as the 'gas tax

swap' passed by lawmakers in

2010. Lowering the rate is the

right thing to do, and I'm sure

Californians will welcome this

reduction.

Unfortunately, even after the

cut goes into effect, Californi-

ans will still pay some of the

highest taxes in the nation.

What we need now is for law-

makers to simplify our tax

laws and look for ways to

provide value for the money

that Californians send to gov-

ernment.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Small, non-

farm businesses in all 58 California

counties and neighboring Arizona,

Nevada and Oregon counties listed

below are now eligible to apply for

low‑interest federal disaster loans

from the U.S. Small Business Ad-

ministration (SBA). These loans

offset economic losses because of

reduced revenues caused by the

drought that began January 1,

2016, announced Direc-

tor Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Dis-

aster Field Operations Center -

West.

Neighboring Arizona counties: La

Paz and Mohave;

Neighboring Nevada counties:

Carson City, Clark, Douglas, Es-

meralda, Lyon, Mineral, Nye and

Washoe;

Neighboring Oregon counties:

Jackson, Josephine, Klamath and

Lake.

―SBA eligibility covers both the

economic impacts on businesses

dependent on farmers and ranch-

ers that have suffered agricultural

production losses caused by the

disaster and businesses directly

impacted by the disaster,‖ Garfield

said.

Small, nonfarm businesses, small

agricultural cooperatives, small

businesses engaged in aquaculture

and most private nonprofit organi-

zations of any size may qualify for

Economic Injury Disaster Loans

(EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help

meet financial obligations and oper-

ating expenses which could have

been met had the disaster not oc-

curred.

―Eligibility for these loans is based

on the financial impact of the disas-

ter only and not on any actual prop-

erty damage. These loans have an

interest rate of 4 percent for busi-

nesses and 2.625 percent for pri-

vate nonprofit organizations, a

maximum term of 30 years, and are

available to small businesses and

most private nonprofits without the

financial ability to offset the ad-

verse impact without hardship,‖

Garfield said.

By law, SBA makes EIDLs available

when the U.S. Secretary of Agricul-

ture designates an agricultural

disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack

declared this disaster on February

17, 2016.

Businesses primarily engaged in

farming or ranching are not eligible

for SBA disaster assistance. Agricul-

tural enterprises should contact the

Farm Services Agency about the

U.S. Department of Agriculture

assistance made available by the

Secretary’s declaration. However,

nurseries are eligible for SBA disas-

ter assistance in drought disasters.

Applicants may apply online using

the Electronic Loan Application

(ELA) via SBA’s secure website at

https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Disaster loan information and appli-

cation forms are also available from

SBA’s Customer Service Center by

calling (800) 659-2955 or emailing

VETERAN’S CORNER

Each of the military services

maintains a discharge review board

with authority to change, correct or

modify discharges or dismissals not

issued by a sentence of a general

court-martial. The board has no

authority to address medical dis-

charges.

The veteran or, if the veteran is

deceased or incompetent, the

surviving spouse, next of kin or

legal representative, may apply for

a review of discharge by writing to

the military department concerned,

using DD Form 293, ―Application

for the Review of Discharge from

the Armed Forces of the United

States.‖ This form may be obtained

from the Internet or from our office.

However, if the discharge was

more than 15 years ago, a veteran

must petition the appropriate Ser-

vice’s Board for Correction of Mili-

tary Records using DD Form 149,

―Application for Correction of Mili-

tary Records Under the Provisions

of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section

1552.‖ A discharge review is con-

ducted by a review of an appli-

cant’s record and, if requested, by

a hearing before the board.

Discharges awarded as a result of

a continuous period of unauthor-

ized absence in excess of 180 days

make persons ineligible for VA

benefits regardless of action taken

by discharge review boards, unless

VA determines there were compel-

ling circumstances for the absence.

Boards for the Correction of Military

Records also may consider such

cases.

Veterans with disabilities incurred

or aggravated during active duty

may qualify for medical or related

benefits regardless of separation

and characterization of service.

Veterans separated administrative-

ly under other than honorable

conditions may request that their

discharge be reviewed for possible

recharacterization, provided they

file their appeal within 15 years of

the date of separation.

Our office can provide forms and

directions on how request a review.

Questions regarding the review of a

discharge should be addressed to

the appropriate discharge review

board at the address listed on DD

Form 293.

The Kings County Veterans Ser-

vice Office can complete the DMV

Veteran Status Verification Form

for the new California Veteran

Designation on your driver’s li-

cense. We can also issue Veteran

I.D. cards to honorably discharged

veterans. Contact Joe Wright if you

would like to receive periodic veter-

an’s information by email. There

are many state and federal bene-

fits and programs available to

veterans and their dependents. To
