gov. guinn, federal highway administrator
announce u.s. 95 settlement

CARSON CITY – Gov. Kenny Guinn announced today that an agreement to settle a Sierra Club lawsuit has been reached, allowing construction to restart on the U.S. 95 widening project in northwest Las Vegas as early as this fall.

The agreement allows for the addition of new lanes, construction of high occupancy lanes in each direction, monitoring systems and other technologies designed to reduce congestion and improve safety on the busy highway. The agreement also includes measures designed to improve the environment by testing air filtration systems in nearby schools, retrofitting Clark County school buses with cleaner burning engines, and gathering information on vehicle emissions.

Gov. Guinn made the announcement at a press conference this morning in Las Vegas. He was joined by Federal Highway Administrator Mary E. Peters.

“This has always been one of the most important highway projects for southern Nevada, and one of my highest priorities,” Gov. Guinn said. “We can move forward now, on a project that certainly will keep the families, the commuters, and truckers traveling on U.S. 95 much safer.”

Peters said the Federal Highway Administration worked closely with the Nevada Department of Transportation to reach the Sierra Club settlement as quickly as possible because the widening work is vital to the Las Vegas economy and quality of life of area residents. The Sierra Club lawsuit stalled the project since last August. U.S. 95 is congested with nearly 12,000 vehicles on the six-lane highway traveling less than half the speed allowed during peak commuting hours. Estimates indicate that even a slight increase in the speed vehicles could travel would save the public more than $8.5 million per year in delay costs.

My trip to HK is sort of like ‘Sex and the City’
By Cassandra Cheung*1

ON LOCATION: HK, summer of 2005

My trip to HK is sort of like ‘Sex and the City’ combined with ‘4 weddings & a funeral’.*2

I was born and raised in HK. March 2005 was a very intense month for me. However, God turn the disaster into my advantage. There are people to see and family matter to take care of. Finally I have time to accomplish them all.

Chee, my best friend who works for HK Times and Fuzi, my big brother’s college friend who married to an Italian jeweler, are my unofficial social directors in HK. Every morning I either had breakfast prepared by my aunt or had dim-sum with my uncle. The rest of the day, I got to explore the City with 2 trendy, independent, and professional women.

So, what to do and where to go when the HK weather was hot and drizzling thru out the day? A lot because the Smart Card can take you everywhere! To name a few as follows:

Admiralty Centre /Time Square, there is this one-of- a-kind Chinese restaurant that serves unique northern style cuisine. The décor is a mix of modern oriental with Euro furnishing. Food is excellent and there are 5 well-trained servers stand-by all time.

Luk Yu Tea House on Stanley Street off Theatre Lane, is the Who’s Who place where PLU (people-like-us) are often turned away because they do not take new customers. Fortunately, Billy (Chee’s former associate) is a regular and has his own table so we got to enjoy the old charm tea house 3 times in a role. We even made it our routine to browse around the closed by Shanghai Tang Tailor Shop where we could take a tea break served by Ah Ma (old-fashion servant) and glanced at the movie stars trying out their ready-made.

Then, the Secret Society Hideout where is for members only. My favorite is Chinese Tee Club in Central District. Overlooking those commercial buildings and having our high tea while we were served by professional butlers in a Casablanca surrounding. Imagine those multimillion dollars business deals were in the making at the moment…. So much for high tea, let’s talk about lunch in the very exclusive HK Jockey Club, Happy Valley. A family friend took me there for Chinese dim-sum along with his 83 years old mother who lives in a mansion on Jardin Hill. The food was excellent. I found out later that the Club had an award winning world famous chef.

The first time I met Chee’s boyfriend was at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club. The menu is a combination of traditional Chinese and 50’s American. After the doorman let us in, the manager asked us to show our membership card prior to be seated. Similar to all other private clubs, they are computer accessible in the dining room hallway. Down below is a cozy jazz club. Of course, we just had to drop by for some fine music.

Among all these private clubs, my least favorite was the Charter Club where Fuzi picked out for her college reunion. All dishes were tasteless and there was a long wait in between them. The dinner was a disappointment but the company was fun. Afterwards Marco, Fuzi’s husband, treated us saki in Lan Kwai Fong. None of us was driving that night so we emptied out several big bottles and laughed till the end of dawn inside the private room.

Since Fuzi is a fashion police and Chee is a high tea frantic, we spent days window shopping and had high tea in Causeway Bay, Cheung Chau, Soho, Repulse Bay, and Clear Water Bay.

One final note, those people that my late mother asked me to contact and I did. I also met up with a special long time friend, Frank. All and all, you can say that this trip is mission accomplished.*3

Dear Dr. Lei,

Our associates in Asia are government owned education centers, universities and colleges. The potential students are from government and business entities. EMBA and EDBA are overseas ‘degree’ or ‘certificate” programs, they do not have to come to USA and get the degrees. There are many USA universities that have the similar programs in China and Asian countries. For overseas certificate programs, if UNLV are interested, we should sign agreement and then, we could start to recruit the students, UNLV do not need to send professors to overseas, we have local qualified professors to teach those cohort programs based on the curriculum provide by UNLV.

If UNLV has interesting for those off campus programs, I am more than happy to come to Las Vegas to meet you and UNLV extension people for further discussion.
Dr. Archie Chang might come with me together. I am leaving San Francisco for Taiwan and China on 6/6, therefore, if you could make any arrangement before 6/3 will be very appreciated. Please see Authorization Letter to our company and me - For your eyes only, please keep in confidential and please do not make any copy to any third party.

In the mean time, we have a group of 20 people from Shenyang City government, China, they want like to have an EPMA degree program in USA for one year. Could you quote the tuition, student insurance, books , room and board to me ASAP, Please advise.

Sincerely,
Walter

"Under the recommendation of President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu have received the Letter of Greeting from U. S. Senator John Ensign on May 28, 2005. She was appointed Assistant Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) and Chairperson of Interstate Business Cooperation and Development Council by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on May 11, 2005." The announcement was made on Friday, May 28, 2005, by Dr. John Wang, Spokesperson for WBTI in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*2

The following is the statement of the greeting letter:

[[[[[JOHN ENSIGN, Nevada
United States Senate
Washington,DC 20510-2805
July 29, 2005

Dear Friends:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Las Vegas for the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. I hope that, during your time here, you will be able to experience some of the many attractions that our beautiful city has to offer.

As you focus your attention on this year's theme, the Future Development of TBAA, I commend you on your dedication to promoting understanding between the people of Taiwan and the United States through educational, cultural, economic, and scientific programs. Your contributions to the betterment of the communities in which you live have had a significant positive impact on the quality of life for the families who reside in those communities. I especially congratulate Wendy Wu on the knowledge, expertise, and professionalism that she has exemplified during her tenure as TBAA Chairperson.

Enjoy your time in southern Nevada, and please accept my best wishes for a successful and memorable conference.]]]]]*3

"On behalf of Taiwan Benevolent Association of America, it's my great honor to receive the nice Greeting from U. S. Senator John Ensign. As a faculty member of Public Administration Institution and Chairperson of the Interstate Business Cooperation and Development Council of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my pleasure to put my effort and wisdom also to the community service and humane spirit of the Institute for the people and communities of Nevada," said Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu in San Jose, California after she was informed by President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei about the greetings letter through the phone call and WBTI website at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti by Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Second 27th Director and Advisory Boards Meeting of Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) was held by its President Wendy Yu-Ping Wu successfully on April 23, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. With her distinguished leadership and outstanding talents, Wendy Wu is widely known as a teacher, advisor, social service volunteer, business person, and community leader with a series of venues to contribute to our people, community, businesses, government, and nation. In her service as the chairperson of the 26th Taiwan Benevolent Association of America Conference/ Convention in 2003 (held at San Jose, California), her superb managerial skills and experience had orchestrated one of the most successful nation-wide conventions/parties in recent years. In addition, Ms. Wendy Wu is also a well-respected contributor in another non-profit organization, which is known being one of the largest Asian American service groups, serving as the 17th president, Taiwanese American Chamber of Commerce - North California (TACC-NC). In her service in the TACC-NC, she has broken the organization's record of making donations to both local and world-wide charity organizations, in both the number of benefited charity organizations and the total monetary value.*4

Very soon, Ms. Wendy Wu is going to complete her term as President of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) on July 30, 2005. Out of the excellent experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism of Ms. Wu, she has elevated the TBAA to a new height in terms of its fame, quality and significance among many American Chinese and Asian American institutions in this country.

Now, TBAA is scheduled to hold its profound 28th Annual Conference throughout the July 29-30 weekend (2005) in Las Vegas, Nevada. In light of President Wu's efforts and unselfish spirit in promoting cross-culture understanding and mutual respect for diversified interests rising from a variety of the communities, she has already become a real dynamic force and role model in the common pursuit of improving quality of life for our society.

As the largest civic organization representing U.S. immigrants from Taiwan, the TBAA currently has approximately 15 chapters and 30,000 active members nationwide. Their members are concerned about the new developments in Cross-Strait Relations, the U.S China Relationship and the Asian Economy. They are increasingly focused on working with the mainstream of American society on these and other issues. Your participation would greatly inspire them as they move forward to achieve their goal.*5

"It's our great honor to have U. S. Senator John Ensign's welcome with great pleasure to the people from all around the world to Las Vegas for participating the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. We're also pleased to have Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu's interest in offering her caliber whose integrity, knowledge, and experience may bring to Washington Business and Technology Institute an interstate perspective," points out President Dr. Tony Lei of WBTI. "Throughout Ms. Wendy Wu's distinguished endeavor, she has accomplished a great deal of business and community service practices and earned a good reputation as a conscientious and dedicated professional. Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and Wendy deserve the significant Letter of Greeting from U. S. Senator John Ensign." *6
