MEET FRESNO'S YOUNG ENTREPRENEURSTaking risks and following dreamsStories by Frank Lopez

Dear Danger Mobile Boutique

The business sector is now fully part of the digital age.

To keep a competitive edge, businesses must provide unique shopping experiences, know their marketplace, cater to a target cli-entele and market with a strong social media presence.

Young people grew up in this digital age, and have been honing

these skills as part of everyday life. Some are even starting businesses.

From a model who started a mobile boutique, to a barber that started his own shop to appeal to more hip crowds, these profiles will highlight up-and-comers in the Central Valley that are making a name in the business world.

of their customers are competitive shooters.

“If you want to stay competitive, it’s not hard to go through 1,500 to 3,000 rounds per month.”

Other legislation sought to restrict the kinds of guns being sold.

Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880, both approved by Governor Jerry Brown in 2016, sought to end the sale and limit possession of semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, mandating that anybody who has these style weapons register them before July 2018. But in gun stores across the Valley, semi-auto-matic rifles, which California defines as rifles with pistol grips and detachable magazines still line the display shelves.

“Everybody’s confused. I have four or five sales staff who know what the laws are, but the customers don’t,” said Bauer. This confusion, according to Bauer, has been a major contributing factor to de-clining sales.

Adding to the fray of the gun debate are multiple lawsuits across the state challenging regulations which many say are in violation of the Second Amend-ment.

In 2017, a federal judge overturned part of Prop 63 which forced people who owned large-capacity magazines bought before 2000—when the law changed making them illegal to buy—to turn them in or face a fine and possible jail time.

Though gun dealers have only seen nominal increases in sales since the Parkland shooting, people in the Central Valley have been filling out safety classes.

“Our training classes are really boom-ing,” said Cotta. The new shooter, skill builder and concealed carry (CCW) class-es over at Kings Gun and Archery Center have doubled in the last six weeks. He’s booked out for the same amount of time.

The demographics are also varied. For his New Shooter class, attendees are 80 percent women.

In Visalia, interest in guns is also peak-ing, according to Beechnor, vice presi-dent of the Visalia Sportsman’s Associa-tion. Safety and CCW classes are full, and he has 25 new kids in the safety class.

Beechnor has seen farmers, teachers and a number of former military com-ing in to either shoot or learn about fire-arms.

He hears customers who feel that many of the larger cities don’t repre-sent the more rural communities whose needs are being overlooked.

“People feel left out,” Beechnor said.

was elected, gun retailers saw a massive decline in sales.

“The Trump slump is real,” said Todd Cotta, president of Kings Gun and Ar-chery Center in Hanford.

Manufacturers like Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March when people weren’t buying guns as much. The GOP-controlled administra-tion and Congress made gun people feel more comfortable, according to Cotta, meaning there wasn’t the urgency to buy firearms.

But now, following the Parkland shooting and the March for Our Lives, a student-lead protest across the coun-try demanding gun reform, history has shown gun dealers would normally be expecting an uptick in sales.

After the Newtown shooting in Con-necticut in 2012, gun dealers couldn’t keep up with demands.

“Over night, every warehouse was empty,” Cotta said. “We’re not seeing that as much.”

Gun owners like Cotta and Eli Smed-ley at PRK Arms in Fresno attribute the continuing sales slump to a culture of continued restriction in California.

“California gun owners have had enough and they’re burned out,” Smed-ley said. California has had in place many regulations that other states are now try-ing to enact that would limit access to ammunition and semi-automatic rifles.

Even gun dealers aren’t exactly sure about how the rules are going to look in the future.

“There’s a difference between what was passed in Proposition 63 and what the legislature passed and that explains the angst,” Barry Bauer, president of Herb Bauer Sporting Goods said.

In 2016 voters approved Proposition 63, which sought to restrict ammunition sales in stages — first by banning online sales by requiring purchases to be done through only licensed dealers. While Cotta sees how theoretically it should be a boon for local business-owners, he just hasn’t seen it. Instead, people are going into Nevada to buy their ammo, while technically illegal, “how many fireworks from Nevada do you see?” Cotta said.

Beginning in 2019, ammunition will be further restricted, requiring a back-ground check before each purchase that could require another fee.

This may affect sales for ammunition at the Visalia Sportman’s Association, according to Russ Beechnor, vice presi-dent.

The association has a range and most

Sparkle Ties Daniel Malcolm, 28sparkleties.com

For Daniel Malcolm, 28, business was a childhood hobby.

As founder of his own tie business, Sparkle Ties, and winner of the 2018 Stu-dent Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, it’s not surprising that Malcolm has had a mind geared for business since a young age.

As the son of entrepreneur parents who run an agriculture publishing busi-ness, Malcolm was always on the lookout for ways to make money.

“I’ve been trying to find ways to do busi-ness since I was a little kid,” Malcolm said.

Malcolm tried his hand at the classic kid business ventures; lemonade stands, col-lecting cans and bottles, selling stickers, etc.

As a freshman in high school, Malcolm was able to earn $2,500 by selling candy to his fellow students, and invested the money for a bank certificate that was worth a lot more when he opened it up five years later. He says the experience taught him about business ledgers, keep-ing track of inventory and sales, and tak-ing risks.

After high school, Malcolm travelled to South Korea for missionary work for two years, noticing men there tended to wear brighter clothing. After returning, he en-rolled in Fresno State for pre-med stud-ies, but he started to lose interest in the medical field.

He decided to take a business class, and found it more enjoyable than chemistry.

“I have more fun applying what I’m

learning to what I’m doing in my com-pany and what I’d like to do in future companies,” said Malcolm. “That’s when I decided not to go back to chemistry and switched majors to business administra-tion.”

As a business major, Malcolm liked to dress the part of a professional in business attire. Though he didn’t have any experi-ence in the fashion industry, he noticed women had more options for dressing up than men.

An avid fan of ties, Malcolm noticed it was the one article of clothing men change frequently, and thought he could give ties a more exciting flare.

Malcolm opened Sparkle Ties, taking inspiration from men’s fashion in South Korea and adding rhinestones to the de-signs.

To his surprise, Malcolm said most of his customers are women buying ties for their husbands.

Malcolm’s ties are sold in Orloff’s Jew-elers in the Fig Garden Village shopping center, in a small boutique inside Fresno Lexus on Palm and Herndon avenues, as well as online.

Always one to keep busy, Malcolm still has a day job as the director of sales for Malcolm Media Ag. Publishing.

Malcolm urges anyone going into busi-ness to accept help and to do something with what is available.

“In our community, there is a lot of people that want to help people build businesses in Fresno,” Malcolm said. “Reach out, don’t try to do it alone. Work with people, ask for people’s advice and help others. You need to make your plan and be organized. Don’t be afraid to start.”

Daniel Malcolm sells his Sparkle Ties line at Orloff’s Jewelers in Fresno.

Quesadilla Gorilla Miguel Reyes, 25quesadillagorilla.net

Finding a niche is a good tactic for any entrepreneur.

Miguel Reyes, 25, found his niche when he founded Quesadilla Gorilla  in Visalia in 2013, and has since expanded that niche to multiple locations in Fres-no.

Even with the abundant selection of Mexican restaurants in the Central Val-ley, Quesadilla Gorilla stands out with its simple menu, minimalist store decor, fresh ingredients and a variety of authen-tic homemade salsas.

Before opening Quesadilla Gorilla, Reyes was a partner in a pizza-by-the slice joint in Visalia, but because of the com-petition of eateries nearby, it failed and Reyes went back to the drawing board.

He originally intended to keep running the pizza shop, but one night, he got the idea to make quesadillas. After some dis-cussion with his wife, co-owner Mikayla Reyes, they decided to give it a try. They bought the kitchen equipment from the owners of the pizza shop and revamped the store into a quesadilla shop.

“I got the idea when I was going to sleep one night,” said Reyes. “I thought, ‘why don’t we make quesadillas?’. No one does it. You can build your own menu. You can pick meat, cheeses, you can build your own specials. The options are end-less with what you put inside the tortilla.”

When first starting out, Reyes and his wife used old family recipes, but now they have a creative chef that comes up with new ideas for specials and incor-porates feedback and suggestions from other store employees.

To keep the flavors fresh, everything but the tortillas are made from scratch, food is prepared and used the same day or the day after, and produce from Mex-ico is used to give it a more authentic Mexican taste.  

After seeing success with the restau-rant in Visalia, Quesadilla Gorilla ex-panded with a food truck in 2016.

“Our plan with the food truck was to test out different markets, whether it’s

Tulare, Hanford, Fresno, Clovis,” Reyes said.   “We take our truck in all of those counties, but in Fresno we got a good fol-lowing and that made it a little easier to open here.”  

In March 2017 the first Fresno loca-tion opened up on Weldon Avenue near Fresno City College, and the second opened on May of the same year on P Street downtown — both prime locations for their proximity to office workers and hungry college students.

Although business has been good enough to open up two different loca-tions in the same year, Reyes says that he takes on a lot of work and this quick growth does bring challenges such as finding the right number of employees, training, portion control and mechaniz-ing operations.  

“We definitely thought we were ready to expand, and I guess you’re never fully ready to expand,” Reyes said. “You can have your business plan down to a tee and there’s going to be something you didn’t think about. But now we are in the sweet spot of catching our groove.”

Though lunchtime usually sees the restaurants full of people, there is less of a dinner crowd, but Reyes hopes to bring more evening diners to the downtown location with their new license to sell al-cohol.

Reyes said that he would like to try to expand by at least one location a year and has considered franchising. Between all three locations, there are 41 employees, and he is trying to create a company cul-ture that fosters opportunity.

Along with expanding his business, Reyes is also expanding his family. Miguel and Mikayla are expecting their first child in two months.

For those who have their sights on opening a business someday, Reyes has some simple advice: Do it.

“Just start somewhere and just do it,” Reyes says. “We had no clue what this was going to turn into. It took me just doing it and trying something out and taking a risk. You don’t know if it’s going to work out or not unless you try.”

Miguel Reyes runs three Quesadilla Gorilla locations — two in Fresno and one in Visalia.

Howard says that Fresno has a busi-ness environment that is easy to enter — and that she came to Fresno at just the right time.

“It’s been welcoming,” Howard said. “The focus on small business has been sparked with the revitalization of downtown, new businesses popping up, and there’s a really broad spectrum of people who support us.”

Originally from Alaska, Howard moved to California when she was 21 and attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, and also began a modeling career there.

In 2012, Howard was doing research for a trend-forecasting project when she came across a fashion truck in Port-

land. For her it was an “aha” moment. “Living in San Francisco is expen-

sive,” Howard said. “Signing a lease for a space is so intimidating and so this was kind of an accessible way of having my boutique.”

A long way from Alaska and the fash-ion world, Howard moved to the Cen-tral Valley near the end of 2013 with her husband Devin Peralta, a lead sing-er for a punk rock band and a farmer in Orange Cove.

She bought a truck in October 2013, reworking it to serve as a mobile bou-tique and opening for business in May 2014. Dear Danger Mobile Boutique was the first of its kind in the Fresno market. Others have since followed

Howard has partnered with Nicole

Ashjian, who has been in the media in-dustry in Los Angeles and the Central Valley for more than 10 years, and is a current radio personality with Fresno’s 99.3 FM. Now.

She also runs a small project called Metal Mouse, which sells studded Mickey Mouse ears and other Disney clothing items to “give a little rock n’ roll to Disney,” she said.

Howard and Ashjian have joined forces to expand the Dear Danger brand, and Ashjian is taking in the scene.

“The pop-up culture is definitely a culture,” says Ashjian. “It’s really fun, everybody is super supportive, com-munity driven, creative, and support-

ive. It’s a happy atmosphere of locals supporting locals.”

Dear Danger is currently working on an online store, will continue with its truck on the road, and hopes to one day expand beyond the Central Valley.

Howard advises anyone wishing to get into the business industry to study and research the field they are getting into.

“Do your research and take baby steps,” Howard said. “Research the in-dustry and ask people who are already in the industry questions about it. Most people are open to share their ideas. Be creative.”

an old school barber shop, but we have that new, trendy kind of feel. I thought that would really be marketable. A guy that makes $300,000 a year could come into this place and feel comfortable, and so could a more urban kid.”

The first location opened up January 2017 on Nees Av-enue near River Park. Since business flourished, Cortez opened up a second shop on

Fig Garden Drive in Novem-ber of the same year.

A quick look around the shops reveals bright lighting, urban decor, hip-hop mu-sic, a younger staff and every barber chair filled.

Before opening up Dope Barbershop, Cortez had worked at another local bar-bershop five years, and built up a clientele list that fol-lowed him when he opened up his own business.

Cortez started learning at a young age from an uncle and grandfather that would cut hair. By high school he was cutting the hair of his friends and sports teammates.

Cortez grew up in the Madera Ranchos and gradu-ated from Fresno State in 2005. He attended Federico Barber School and complet-ed the program in 10 months.  

Cortez says he is surprised with the success of his shops.

He never imagined expand-ing so quickly.

“It’s been overwhelming,” Cortez said. “I didn’t know it was going to take off this fast. My goal was always to have multiple shops, but I didn’t think that I would open up two in one year.”

Cortez said he is already planning to open up a third location and would eventu-ally like to expand to more stores in the Fresno area, and

possibly one in Las Vegas. Cortez said that people

have to take chances in life, and that is especially true for someone wishing to start a business.  

“Sometimes you’ve got to take risks. Don’t be afraid to take risks and follow your dreams. People put the road-block of fear in front of them-selves, but once you get over that fear, then your dreams can come true.”

SCCCD secures land for campus

TECHNOLOGYAOS completes acquisition

Automated Office Systems has announced the acquisi-tion of Complete Computing, a local technology provider, according to a press release from the company.

“This acquisition is part of our growth strategy for our computer services division,” said Jeff McGowan, president of AOS. “Over the past two years, we have been expanding our internal capabilities and enhancing our Managed Net-work Services which provides clients 24/7 monitoring and support services.”

The two information-technology firms are both head-quartered in Fresno and AOS has offices in Fresno, Visalia and Merced. Complete Computing was founded in 1987 and serves customers throughout the Central Valley. They will continue to operate as they previously have during the transition.

“I decided it was time to slow down and wanted to join a company that I know would take care of my customers,” said Cindy Silva, owner of Complete Computing. “AOS, with its state-of-the-art technology and Managed Network Ser-vice is ideal for our customer base. I’ve been very impressed with AOS capabilities and systems.”

HEALTH CAREClovis Community to start new project

The Board of Trustees for Community Medical Centers has approved a four-year, $390 million construction project to add 144 private beds and expand services at Clovis Com-munity Medical Center.

“We need to significantly expand inpatient capacity in our hospital system,” said Tim Joslin, Community’s presi-dent and CEO. “And this project is the quickest and most cost-effective way to do it.”

Site work will begin on the project next month. The 190,000-square-foot expansion will feature a five-story bed tower and will add 15,000 square feet to the hospital’s emergency room, create six additional operating rooms, 24 new ICU beds and expand the radiology, pharmacy and laboratory services of the hospital, along with the kitchen and dining areas.

The project will also include an additional parking struc-ture and a two-story, 60,000-square-foot clinical and ad-ministrative support building.

Funded by Community’s operations and donations, the project is expected to be finished in 2022 and will bring Clovis Community’s staff to 420 nurses, therapists, techni-cians and support staff caring for patients in 352 all-private inpatient beds. Community has invested more than $1 bil-lion to expand and renovate its facilities.

“The Clovis Community expansion is one part of a de-cade-long strategy to meet the Valley’s growing need for different kinds of inpatient and outpatient care settings,” Joslin said. “All of which must work together seamlessly.”

The four-hospital system completed a similar expan-sion at Clovis Community in 2014, investing $320 million to double the hospital’s capacity and convert it to all-private rooms. Last month, a new parking garage and medical of-fice building were completed at the downtown Fresno cam-pus.

A nearly 100,000-square-foot cancer center at the Clovis hospital is also under construction and is expected to open in August. Two other projects — a 12-bed expansion at Com-munity Behavioral Health Center and a 150-bed skilled nurs-ing facility — were additionally approved by the Board of Trustees.

DONALD A. PROMNITZ | SCCCD Board President Bobby Kahn announced that the nearly 40 acres of land needed for the new West Fresno campus had been finalized with a 7-0 vote on Tuesday.

Leaders of the State Center Community College District marked the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death with the announcement of a new campus by the Fresno street that bears his name.

“Because of Measure C and the support of our community, we proposed this satellite campus and it’s going to be even better than what we first imagined,” said SCCCD Chancellor Paul Parnell at the press conference in front of Rutherford B. Gaston Middle School, across the street from the property. “It’s going to be state-of-the-art.”

The SCCCD Board of Trustees voted last night to approve the purchase of 26.06 acres of land on E. Church Avenue, between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Walnut Avenue from 2500 MLK, LLC. The transaction includes both a donation and a purchase. $1,759,050.0 of Measure C funds will be spent on half of this land, while Shehady/Hall, the owners, will donate the rest.

Also adjacent to the property is 13.51 acres of land acquired from TFS Investments on Walnut and Church Avenues. Headed by Terance Frazier, TFS investments donated half of this property, while the SCCCD paid $675,000 for the rest. This brings the West Fresno campus for Fresno City College to nearly 40 acres total.

The new campus is expected to focus heavily on career-oriented education and technological training. Fresno Mayor Lee Brand called the campus a “game-changer,” indicating its role in future economic growth.

“I know you’ve heard the good news—first Ulta, Amazon and, last week, the GAP—that’s 4,000 new jobs,” Brand said. “These new e-commerce fulfillment centers will provide revenue to expanding our economic base and providing better city services.”

In addition, SCCCD will receive $16.9 million in Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) funds. A further $11 million and $4.5 million in TCC money will go to off-site improvements and a neighborhood park respectively.

Escrow for the most recent purchase is expected to close by June 17.

REAL ESTATERecord apartment sale in Fresno

A 238-unit apartment community in northwest Fresno has sold for more than $20.4 million.That comes out to $85,966 per unit — or just under $89 a square foot — making The Enclave apart-

ments sale the highest per-unit price paid so far this year for any multi-family building in the Valley, according to Fresno’s Mogharebi Group, which brokered the sale to a private investment group out of the San Diego area.

The brokers didn’t identify the buyers.“The combination of record job and population growth against historically-low new apartment

starts creates massive pricing power for existing communities like The Enclave,” Robin C. Kane, senior vice president of TMG, said in a written statement. “We ag-gressively marketed The Enclave to our list of high net worth private as well as exchange buyers. This strategy generated multiple offers and closed at near full list price.”

The apartments, at 3274 W. Ashlan Ave., were built in 1978 and sit on 18.2 acres. The recently remodeled two-bedroom units range in size from 965 to 988 square feet. The complex includes two pools and spas, a business center, a fitness center, a basketball court, a tennis court, a playground, two laundry facilities and a dog park.

have 25 percent tariffs. The added duties came in response

to President Donald Trump announc-ing in March tariffs on $50 million worth of Chinese goods coming into the U.S., along with his announcement earlier in the month of separate tariffs on alumi-num and steel imports from most of this nation’s other trading partners, including China.

Trump’s actions stem from his claim of unbalanced trade between the U.S. and its trading partners, noting the imbalance and unfair trading practices by China.

The tariffs worry farmers here in the Valley, who export many fruits, nuts and wines to China, California’s largest agri-cultural trading partner after Canada and the European Union.

The list of fruits affected by China’s tar-iffs includes apples, pomegranates, man-gos, grapes, persimmons, watermelons, cherries, citrus, raisins, pears, peaches, plums and strawberries, while the list of nuts include Brazil nuts, cashews, al-monds, shelled walnuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts — most of them signifi-cant commercial crops grown in the Val-ley.

“I don’t think there are winners in this kind of situation,” said Jeff Michael, an economist and executive director of the Center for Business and Policy Research at University of the Pacific in Stockton.

But how hard the tariffs might affect the Valley’s economy still is a big unknown — even with China listing the affected goods — because there still are a lot of unknowns, including how long the tariffs might last.

“If you go on two or three or four months, you’re going to see some hurt-ing,” said Ernie Goss, a research economist for Fresno State.

“As far as I’m concerned, it will affect the scrap prices,” said Patricia Lopez, manager of Dream’s Recycling in Kerman, which buys aluminum cans and other aluminum scrap, some of which is exported to China, a heavy buyer of recyclable material from the U.S.

She said aluminum prices have been on the rise, and it may take a month or so for her processor to let her know if the tariffs lower those prices and by how much.

“If the prices go down, then we have to lay off people.”

If higher prices in China prompt con-sumers there to buy fewer American goods, the lower demand for those prod-ucts could deflate the prices paid to farm-ers and food manufacturers, unless new domestic or foreign buyers can be found, Goss said.

Michael agreed, saying, “I think it’s go-ing to put price pressure on nut crops that have been leading agricultural growth in

the region.”Eric Antonio, business operations man-

ager for RC Steel in Fresno, which sells or-namental iron and supplies for trucks and utility trailers, said he’s already seeing the effects of the trade dispute, as the cost of aluminum sheets have just about tripled over the past month — about the time word got out about Trump’s tariff plans — from $52 each to $150.

Others involved in manufacturing in the Valley said that since word got out the metal tariffs may come, there have been runs on steel and aluminum as businesses try to buy what they can before the tariffs were imposed — resulting in prices going up and shortages of those metals before the U.S. tariff announcements.

Now that China has imposed its tariffs on steel pipe and bulk aluminum, Antonia predicted, “It’s going to go up even more.”

Adding to concerns is that a prolonged tariff conflict or trade war opens China to finding alternative sources for U.S. goods.

“In tree nuts, California has a promi-nent position,” as an exporter, said Mi-chael, but noted that Australia is building up its industry and could fill a portion of the demand for nuts in China if U.S. im-ports decline or become too expensive.

“I probably would be more concerned on the wine side, because of global com-petition and alternatives” for wines from California and other parts of the U.S. avail-able to Chinese consumers,” he added. Both Goss and Michael noted that a bigger concern than how long the tariffs last is whether they expand, either in the num-ber of goods affected or if other countries also retaliate against the U.S. actions by imposing tariffs of their own or, worse, an all-out trade war with China or the other countries.

“I call it a ‘black swan,’” a worst-case scenario of prolonged and multiple trade disputes with other nations that triggers another recession here, Goss said.

Fortunately, there are no indications that such a scenario is looming.

“We’re looking at game theory playing out on the world stage in real time,” Vir-ginia Tech University’s Mary Marchant, a professor of agricultural and applied eco-nomics with a focus on the effects of the Chinese market on U.S. ag trade, said in a written statement.

“And that theory predicts that both countries lose in the end. Protected sectors may gain, but overall, the results of trade war are bad for both countries’ econo-mies.”

EDUCATION

PHOTO BY DONALD A. PROMNITZ | From left Jeff Harrington, Caitlin Gipson and Megan Ortiz give a pitch for their social enterprise, Serve Reedley, aimed at providing employment opportunities to teenage mothers. Serve Reedley was one of eight teams to graduate from the Social Enterprise Academy, created by Fresno Pacific University’s Center for Community Transformation.

Eight new businesses — ranging from events and food services to a music school — have been launched through a new program started by Fresno Pacific University.

The businesses are all part of the Social Enterprise Academy, a project set up by the university’s Center for Community Transformation. The academy’s goal is to help start social businesses and enterprises — profitable and self-sustaining businesses that are aimed at enacting social change in their communities.

“I think what separates a social enterprise from a charity is that in order to survive, you have to be comp etit ive,” said Anthony “AP ” Armour, the executive director of the social business Neighborhood Industries. “You have to pay the same rents as everybody else — we’re paying the same payroll, the same taxes, same fuel expenses, same truck expenses as everyone else. And so in order to do that, you have to be a good business.”

Students were subjected to four classes, held at Bitwise Industries in downtown Fresno, where they went from concepts to new companies.

“ We start at zero with what is a true social enterprise, and why do social enterprise versus just another nonprofit?” Randy White, director of the Center for Center of Community Transformation said of the program. “So we start there, but then from the get-go, we’re talking about business, models, business tools…we even created some of the business tools that

they’re going to be using as they build their businesses. And then we show them models.”

One business to emerge from the Academy was Serve Reedley, a coffee shop/café aimed at providing employment to teenage mothers.

“I’ve done this for a while, but I do things in a very intuitive way and not necessarily very systematic,” said Jeff Harrington, who took the class to get Serve Reedley off the ground. “And with what we’re doing, we need to be systematic. So there’s some things that come naturally as far as collaboration, but the way these forms have been given to us — working out cost and that they do need to be specific — those things have been huge pieces for me.”

Despite the short amount of time in which the businesses have launched, White said he is confident of their success.

“The first reason is the actual content of the training was spectacular,” White said. “We just gave them the best of the best.”

The second reason for White’s assurance was the assignment of mentors in the community. These i n c l u d e n o t o n l y f e l l o w s o c i a l entrepreneurs, but exp erienced business owners. Among them is Brian Feil, CEO of Lanna Coffee, Co. Located in Downtown Fresno, Lanna donates 25 percent of its earnings to clean water projects in Northern Thailand, where their beans are grown.

“It’s easy to give things out for free. It takes a little more resourcefulness and entrepreneurial skill to create an enterprise around that same goal,” Feil said. “And it’s hard when you’re

working with individuals who don’t have funds to necessarily pay for services.”

Fe i l s p o k e o f t h e b u s i n e s s h e mentored, Community Music Center. Started by Erik and Sheena Leung, their social enterprise is aimed at providing music lessons to the economically disadvantaged. While Erik Leung said that they have already graduated their first student — a music major — Sheena said that their success meant that they had to work to avoid becoming a “toxic charity” that spends all of its own money.

Breaking this habit was a difficult thing for them to do, but became one of their biggest takeaways.

“I came in very stubborn, like: ‘No, I’m not charging our students. They can’t afford it, they can’t do it,’” Sheena

Leung said. “But now I’m like: ‘A dollar for rehearsal is not that bad to maybe be asking for the students.’”

A l o n g s i d e q u a l i t y c l a s s e s a n d mentorship, White concluded that spiritual matters would also play a part in the social enterprises that have graduated.

“Many of these folks are connected to communities of faith, so this provides a customer base instantly — and resources,” White said. “So they’ve got resources and people that form an instant customer and service base.”

The Social Enterprise Academy originated in the “Spark Tank,” an annual pitchfest held at Bitwise to generate ideas for social businesses.

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018 www.thebusinessjournal.com 9the EXECUTIVE PROFILE

How is progress on the new Osteopathic Medicine School going? CHSU is working towards establishing a proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine and hope to matriculate the first cohort as early as fall 2020. John Graneto, DO, MEd, has been appointed as dean of the CHSU proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine. The university has initiated the accreditation process with the American Osteopathic Association Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and cannot solicit nor accept applications for students at this time.

Tell us a little about other schools and projects CHSU is working on: Right now we are excited to see our inaugural class of Doctor of Pharmacy student’s graduate this May. We are helping them prepare to take their board licensing exams and assisting them with obtaining residency opportunities and jobs. We are also looking to the future and contemplating our next colleges and programs to launch and for our next college we are considering a College of Allied Health.

What has been the reaction of the Clovis community to your new school opening?Everyone in Clovis has been incredibly welcoming as they too recognize the value of education. The entire community has been supportive and they have embraced the opportunity for collaboration and partnership. The City of Clovis has been fantastic to work with. Everyone in the greater Central Valley has been extremely encouraging, from local school districts and colleges, to the health care providers and key stakeholders in the health care systems, who are helping to train our students…we found the perfect place to launch this new university! Valley residents will benefit from the economic development that CHSU brings to the Valley with career opportunities for highly trained health providers, faculty, staff and graduates. Jobs created through construction of the campuses and private business expansions that may be developed over-time.

What has been the hardest part of getting the osteopathic program off the ground?The entire process of launching a new university and each new college program is very challenging, but a worthwhile endeavor for our region that desperately needs health care providers. Our greatest challenge has been and probably always will be ensuring that we have an innovative, top-tier program that prepares students to be compassionate health care providers, and at the same time preparing them for the changing demands on their professions. Additionally, we are always seeking new experiential education rotations slots for all of our colleges, especially to help plan for our Pathway programs from high school to career here in the Valley.

Before opening a new school/center, what are some of the factors that you consider? There are many factors that are considered from accreditation, to requirements for an innovative facility and curriculum. Not to forget the high financial commitment to this endeavor. We also find it to be crucial to explore the job demand both now and into the future to ensure our graduates have opportunities in the Valley and can fulfill our regional needs.

Do you see Clovis becoming the go-to area in the Valley for medical/health care training? Absolutely, Clovis in particular and the greater Central Valley, is well positioned to be a hub for medical / health care training, education, research and innovation.

How do you plan to help your graduates to stay in the Valley? What might motivate them to do so? First and foremost, we strive to recruit and retain local students from the Central Valley. Students can enjoy the unique combination of high quality of life, affordable cost of living, and plentiful career opportunities the Valley provides. We also help get them get involved with our community through community service, experiential learning, cultural experiences, etc.

What do you like to do in your spare time? Spending time with friends and family, traveling, gardening, needlepoint. What are your roots in the Central Valley? I came to the Central Valley as a foreign student from Hong Kong to attend Fresno City College and then CSU, Fresno. I became instantly connected to the community and I’m proud to call the Central Valley my home.

Students can enjoy the unique combination of high quality of life, affordable cost of living, and plentiful career opportunities the Valley provides. CHSU currently offers a four-year Doctor of Pharmacy program because of the demand for pharmacists in the region. CHSU is also working towards opening a proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine as early as fall 2020. The University plans to open up to 10 post-graduate colleges to train health care professionals in the coming years. The timing and specific discipline for each new school will be determined based on the need and opportunity for job placement within the region.

In a self-described “victory lap,” a member of the US Attorney’s Office in Fresno discussed his role in the takedown of an online “darknet” market that had been involved in the sale of drugs, weapons and other illicit products.

Assistant US Attorney Paul Hemesath from the Eastern District of California office spoke about the investigation at the Fresno Rotary Club meeting in Downtown Fresno on Monday. He also talked about the use of bitcoin and the dangers of using the darknet.

“This is truly a unique Fresno story,” Hemesath said. “And it’s about a case that ended up being one of the most significant cases for the entire Department of Justice in 2017.”

Hemesath was one of the investigators involved in the takedown of the darknet market AlphaBay last summer. The darknet is a part of the Internet accessed by Tor software, which allows for anonymity for the user. On the regular web, Internet service providers have a user’s visible IP address, which can be traced to the physical address of the user. With Tor, however, the data is encrypted and transferred to computers around the world.

While Tor usage is legal, illicit sites are frequently created on the darknet. AlphaBay was one such site.

“AlphaBay, because of its slick user interface and good customer service, quickly became the No. 1 choice of drug buyers on the darknet all over the world,” Hemesath said.

He added that as of 2017, there were 380,000 listings on AlphaBay. These included drugs, stolen identities, credit card numbers, automatic firearm conversion kits, silencers and ricin. These items were purchased with bitcoin, an electronic currency. The purchase could then be mailed to the customer’s door via the US Postal Service.

Eventually, however, a lead was caught by the Drug Enforce Agency (DEA) in part through the prosecution efforts of the US Attorney’s office in Fresno and Sacramento. Eventually, the investigation led to the discovery of a French Canadian by the name of Alexandre Cazes, a computer programmer living in Bangkok

and who at age 24, owned a Lamborghini, a Porsche and international properties.

A larger investigation was opened up which included technical experts from the FBI in Sacramento. Hemesath served as the computer hacking attorney in Sacramento. Finally, an indictment was made.

“This was all done at the Federal courthouse down the street with the help of the main justice in Washington D.C. as well,” Hemesath said. “This is truly a homegrown case of national proportions and it wasn’t that long ago that this happened.”

Their work took them to the Netherlands and Bangkok and let to the shutdown of AlphaBay and other markets. It also led to the arrest of Cazes. Five days later, Cazes was found dead in his jail cell.

“This was unexpected,” Hemesath said. “He fell from that stature, lifestyle and status to a Thai jail cell. And he committed suicide there.”

Following the lecture, Hemesath answered questions and gave his advice on bitcoin and the dark web, especially in preventing children from using it.

“And there’s been plenty of instances where kids, and it’s mostly teenagers… have decided that this is their corner drug dealer from now on,” he said.

As Tor is easily accessible, the attorney advised the use of OpenDNS a system that controls home Wi-Fi and allows the owner to log places visited and limit usage to chosen sites. For personal protection, Hemesath advised the use of two-factor authentication for signing into sites. Two-factor authentication involves a second code in addition to a password being entered—typically sent to the user’s phone. Hemesath added that this is highly effective in protecting such sensitive material as banking account information and credit cards.

“And the other thing I would say — the last thing I would like to say — it is simply that the world is changing awfully fast,” he said. “And it is these opportunities for criminals that make it an obligation to keep up on the nerdier parts of the world that [one] might find it otherwise convenient to ignore.”

With education costs continuing to soar, many grandparents may be wondering what they can do to help their grandchildren financially in the pursuit of a college degree. If you are a grandparent who has the means to lend support, there are a variety of ways you can do so. The best solution for you will depend in part on the timing of when your grandchildren will need the money.

Saving in advanceIf your grandchildren are years

away from needing tuition funds, you can set money aside in a variety of vehicles. One attractive option may be a 529 College Savings Plan, which allows you to deposit up to $75,000 ($150,000 for a couple)1 in 2018 into the plan for each grandchild without incurring gift taxes. That money can be deposited in one lump sum or over a period of time2. Earnings can grow on a tax-deferred basis and be withdrawn tax-free to meet qualified education costs for each grandchild. Opening an account in your name allows you to retain control over the assets, using them for your grandchildren’s qualif ied education expenses as you see fit. Keep in mind that f u n d s w i t h d r a w n from a grandparent-o w n e d a c c o u n t f o r a grandchild will be c o u n t e d a s s t u d e n t income on the FAFSA, w h i c h i s u s e d t o determine eligibility for financial aid.

It’s worth noting that the recent tax reform legislation expands the tax advantages of 529 plans to expenses for tuition at an elementary or secondary public, private or religious school. Starting in 2018, you may withdraw up to $10,000 annually that is federal income tax-free for elementary or secondary school tuition incurred by your grandchildren during the tax year.

O t h e r c o l l e g e s av i n g s o p t i o n s include:

Custodial accounts. Placing cash or other types of assets into a Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act account wil l , at a specified age, give the grandchild full rights to the money. That means there is no guarantee the money will be used to pay for education needs.

Education trust. Putting money in a trust that specifies it must be used for education purposes is another option. This approach can come with high legal and administrative costs, but ensures that the money would be spent according to your wishes.

C o v e r d e l l E d u c a t i o n S a v i n g s Account. These accounts provide a way to grow savings on a potentially tax-free basis, but annual contributions are limited to $2,000 per year per grandchild and are subject to income limits.

Paying as they goIf your grandchild is ready to begin

college, you can provide help today in several different ways:

Gift funds to the grandchild. Annual gifts of up to $15,000 for an individual or $30,000 for a couple can be made to the grandchild without incurring gift taxes. A monetary gift will give the grandchild control over the money, which means he or she could put it to use for something besides education.

Tuition payments directly to an institution. Any amount of tuition you pay directly to a school for the benefit of a grandchild is not subject to gift tax. This does not apply to room and board or books and supplies.

Lending money. You can provide an interest-free loan to a grandchild of up to $10,000, and lend any amount

over that if you apply an interest rate set by the IRS.

P a y i n g a f t e r t h e y finish school

If the grandchild has finished college but is carrying debt from student loans, you can o f f e r t o h el p r e pay t h e m . A n y a m o u n t paid in a given year is subject to the annual g i f t t a x e x c l u s i o n limitation of $15,000 per person per year.

H a v e a f a m i l y conversation

Before any decisions are made on the best ways to provide financial a s s i s t a n c e f o r h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n needs, discuss your wishes with your children and grandchildren, as appropriate. Talk about your desires to see the grandchildren obtain a good education to help them succeed in life, and be specific about your expectations if you provide support. Then talk to your financial and tax advisor to determine the best course of action given your circumstances and goals.

involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 064544-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.homesearch.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007414386.

Page 30: | 8 MEET FRESNO'S YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS · threat to slap tariffs on $3 billion worth of U.S. products imported there, and agricultural goods pro-duced in the Valley were promi-nent

30 www.thebusinessjournal.com FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018

A judge in Los Angeles ruled recently that Starbuck’s, Peet’s, and many other retailers face potentially massive liabil-ity under California law for not warn-

ing consumers that naturally occur-ring substances in roasted coffee beans can cause cancer, at least in lab animals. Ab-surd? Outrageous? Yes. But the scorn and outrage should be directed not at the judge but at the law whose terms he

was required to enforce — Proposition 65, adopted by state voters through the initiative process in 1986 — as well as the lawyer-swayed California political sys-tem that still, more than 30 years later, is unwilling to address the measure’s gross flaws.

Acrylamide is a naturally occurring substance formed when many foods are browned or otherwise subjected to high

heat, including in many cases grilled burgers, fried chicken, bread, almonds, and potato chips. Like many other con-stituents of everyday life, it appears to cause cancer in some animals at high dosages. And that brings it under the terms of Prop 65, which has already led to a proliferation of warnings on and around thousands of common goods and services in California, from office furniture to hotel corridors to garages (car exhaust). Almost everyone agrees by now that the over-proliferation of warnings makes it less likely that con-sumers will pay attention to those few warnings that actually flag notable risks. Although on paper the law pro-vides exemptions for some risks that are not “significant” or are balanced by benefits, these have been hard for defendants to use in practice, and the coffee vendors were not saved by the ar-gument that java overall provides (sci-entifically uncertain) net health ben-efits, which may even perhaps include net anti-cancer benefits, that outweigh the (also scientifically uncertain) risks.

What happens next? As the Wash-ington Post reports, “In addition to the warning signs likely to result from the lawsuit, the Council for Education and Research on Toxics, which brought the lawsuit, has asked for fines as much as $2,500 for every person exposed to the chemical since 2002, potentially open-ing the door to massive settlements.” And the financial shakedown value here is far from incidental; it’s the very motor that keeps the law going. Way back in 2001 — yes, Overlawyered has been covering this for nearly 20 years — I noted of the idealistic-sounding CERT, then involved in a suit against Starbucks over minute amounts of the Chinese herb ma huang in chai tea, and its lawyer Raphael Metzger:

“While CERT is previously unknown, the same is not true of attorney Metzger, based in Long Beach, who runs a large “toxic-tort” practice whose website is publicizing the Starbucks action… “The constitutional right of Californians to pursue and obtain safety could be an untapped source of riches that plain-

tiffs’ attorneys should consider on be-half of their clients and the public,” Metzger wrote a while back in the San Francisco Daily Journal regarding the prospect of tort claims based on the California Constitution’s “inalienable rights” provision.”

Metzger is involved in CERT’s current coffee litigation as well. Meanwhile the California political system, which lis-tens carefully to the small industry of nonprofits and attorneys that make a living by filing suits, has been unwill-ing to do more than nibble around the browned edges of Prop 65’s famous ir-rationalities. The warnings of poten-tially chaotic results like today’s – like Prop 65 warnings in general – have gone ignored. Overlawyered has covered in detail both Prop 65 in general (in-cluding its use against scented candles, matches, brass knobs, light bulbs, play-ground sand, and billiard cue chalk) and acrylamide in particular.

Walter Olson is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.

California’s coffee chaos — and why prop 65 goes unreformed

Make a plan for spring cleaning your business

The Central Valley is well-known as a franchise town, where many well known franchisors are located and many franchisees start their businesses in hopes of reaching the American Dream. Most of the respondents to this week’s web poll feel that a health and fitness related franchise is the best buy for 2018, followed by child enrichment, real estate, restaurant and staffing/recruiting. One hundred seventy two votes were cast.

Which category of franchise sounds like the best to buy in 2018?

Spring cleaning — although it may not be the most glamorous of side projects — is an essential part of small business operations. Without a pre-planned cleaning session, the important yet tedious upkeep can get left be-hind.

Apply the knowledge of the rest of the year’s new developments, technological glitches, and growth to this period of reorga-nization. Based on your findings, your small business could look completely different by summer.

Choose a schedule and stick to itIf the springtime isn’t an ideal cleaning pe-

riod for your line of work, pick another sea-son or month to hone in your organizational skills. Maintaining an annual schedule will re-mind you to make time to review operations even when you think you’re running at full capacity.

“Too many things can get put aside to do the ‘next day.’ If organizational time is scheduled on the calen-dar like an appointment, we are more apt to do it,” says Rhonda Wer-nick, NFIB member and co-owner of Nashville, Tennessee-based Oakwood Dry Cleaners.

Restructure your proceduresAfter a year of hard work and a busy future

on the horizon, it’s a great time to review your company’s everyday processes.

“I think that things change quite rapidly, and if you don’t look at the business as a whole on a yearly basis, it will get stale,” says Pam Greene, NFIB member and co-founder of Klamath Falls, Oregon-based Amcom Tax and Accounting. “It’s also a time to re-eval-uate procedures. We do a procedural spring cleaning and see if anything needs to be up-dated.”

Update your security systemWithout an up-to-date security system,

your company can be at risk for a plethora of

issues. Take advantage of a routine security and technology cleanup to save your com-pany in the long run from data breaches or lost information.

“We usually not only clean the building but look at our software and do updates,” Greene says. “We get rid of anything that’s obsolete.”

Physically cleanWhile most of your business has gone digital,

your workspace still needs to stay organized. For those with more space to organize than just a desk, cleaning up can encourage the whole office to work together.

“We go in and clean up the desks or shred papers on a weekly basis. It is an ongoing and continuous process,” says Laura Rey Iannarelli, NFIB member and president of Rey Insurance in

Sleepy Hollow, New York. “Having my employees label their folders and have a whiteboard in front of them lets them utilize tools to help stay organized. The main thing is to follow up.”

Review time managementTaking the extra step to review your time-

management system will always work out in your favor. An evaluation this year may save you from repeating the same mistakes next year.

You can also review time management from your potential customer’s perspective. Take on their role and see what your compa-ny’s biggest time-wasters are. Whether it’s a slow loading webpage or a messy customer response time, the results will keep the com-pany innovative.

“Keeping organized and not wasting time looking for things is so important,” Iannarelli says. “It’s all about time management.”

Founded in 1943, and headquartered in Nash-ville, Tennessee, the National Federation of In-dependent Business is America’s leading small-business advocacy association.
