Five stores cited, selling liquor or tobacco to decoys
Sunnyvale Police, on Feb. 1, cited five separate stores for selling either liquor or tobacco to underage customers. Stores cited for selling alcoholic beverages to police decoys under the age of 21 were located on the 300 block of N. Fair Oaks Avenue, the 1600 block of Hollenbeck Road, the 1200 block of E. Persian Drive and the 900 block of Reed Avenue. The store cited for selling tobacco products to a decoy under 18 is located on the 1200 block of S. Wolfe Road. These citations represent a departure from recent past results of the Department of Public Safety's decoy program. In 2000, each of the 45 attempts by an underage decoy to purchase liquor was thwarted. All offenders were cited and immediately released.
Math School begins second semester
The Classic Math School is starting its second semester in its new Sunnyvale location. This school year is the third for the Classic Math School in the Bay Area. The nighttime school offers its services to public and private school students of different ages and abilities.
In its efforts to meet parent and student requests, the school is planning a program called Math Ensurance, a low-cost permanent tutoring program for schoolchildren of all ages. It is designed to help students individually with their current math assignments from regular school.
Classic Math School is now taking applications from South Bay Area students for spring semester 2001 and for their summer camp. There are openings for elementary school children in Advanced Counting and Introduction to Algebra. There are openings for high school students in Trigonometry and SAT preparation classes.
All ages and levels are welcome. The school is open during the evening hours at 607 S. Knickerbocker Dr. Class size is limited to 10 students. For more information call 650.704.5363, or visit their website at mathschool.hypermart.net.
VTA meeting on Feb. 6
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has scheduled four additional community meetings to get feedback from the public, concerning proposed VTA service modifications. The VTA reports that service has suffered over recent months as a result of a continuing shortage of bus operators and mechanics. The VTA proposes to reduce certain services that operational reviews have determined would have the least effect on VTA customers. Some of the reductions would be temporary, with restoration planned as soon as staffing shortages are resolved. VTA's multilingual staff will attend all four meetings to discuss the plans and answer questions. The meetings will occur in Sunnyvale on Feb. 6, at the Sunnyvale Community Center Neighborhood Room at 550 E. Remington Drive at 7 p.m.
