Health Day just around the corner
Gilroy – Mark your calendars. The second annual Gilroy Community Health Day is just around the corner – and timing couldn’t be better.
The New England Journal of Medicine published a report March 17 indicating that many Americans are severely overweight. So overweight that their life expectancy may be cut short up to nine months. And if this trend of little exercise, supersize fries and corn syrup consumption continues – the life expectancy of Americans will continue to drop by several years.
Scared?
Gilroy Community Health Day Committee and Valley Health Center at San Martin are here to help.
On site health screenings and “Talk with a Doc” opportunities are available free of charge. Patient referral information will be available for follow up care. Families with elderly members and children are particularly encouraged to attend.
“Last year we had such a good turnout,” said South Valley Collaborative office specialist Kimberly Cucuzza. “Hopefully this year will be the same.”
Community Health Day is Saturday, May 1 at Glen View Elementary School from 11am to 3pm.

Workshop addresses property issues
Gilroy – Landlords and property managers can learn how to increase their property values at a free workshop provided by the Gilroy Police Department and City of Gilroy on Wednesday, April 13.
Called “Invest in your property and obtain prosperous rewards,” the workshop will teach landlords and managers how to address issues that can contribute to declining property value and poor quality of life, such as crime and gang activity, blight or neglected buildings, abandoned vehicles, poor landscaping, graffiti, substandard housing, and changes in population demographics.
Gilroy police, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies, and Mayor Al Pinheiro will speak at the workshop, along with a representative of the Tri-County Apartment Association.
The workshop will be held from 5:30 to 8:30pm at the Gilroy Senior Center, 7371 Hanna St., on April 13.
Gilroy man and brothers charged
San Francisco – Federal regulators on Thursday charged Gilroy resident and former Cisco Systems employee Anthony Sudol III with trading on inside information about technology company mergers, the Associated Press reported.
The civil lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco by the Securities and Exchange Commission also named Sudol’s brothers Richard and Michael Sudol, charging that they profited about $220,000 each on trades between 1999 and 2003, after being tipped off by Anthony Sudol to mergers, before they were publicly announced, the AP said.
Sudol resigned from Cisco in November 2004. The SEC said he had been a high-level manager and worked on integrating new acquisitions, which made him privy to information he was supposed to keep confidential, according to AP.
The SEC is seeking a court order that would keep the brothers from breaking securities laws in the future, force them to return their allegedly ill-gotten gains, and pay a fine.
Michael Sudol, 42, is a Motorola employee based in China, and Richard Sudol, 41, is a day trader on leave from Lucent Technologies, living in Oceanside. All three men are contesting the charges.
DA’s second in command to retire
