The Public Safety looks into assault
The Sunnyvale Public Safety Department continues to investigate a Dec. 2 fight that left one man lying in the street with a serious head injury.
Sunnyvale Patrol and Fire personnel responded to the area of Lawrence Expressway and Tasman Drive after receiving a report of a man down at 3:38 p.m. Police said a 43-year-old unidentified man left his car and got into an argument with two males in their 20s. Witnesses said the duo beat the man and left him sprawled in the street behind his car before speeding away eastbound on Tasman Drive in a small, green car--possibly a Geo.
Authorities took the victim to Valley Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.
Police don't know what led to the altercation. The case remains under investigation. Police ask that anyone with pertinent information, call 408.730.7110.
SVP calls for conservation
Cold temperatures have prompted Silicon Valley Power (SVP) to call for conservation efforts under a power shortage emergency.
With winter approaching, the cool temperatures have caused residents and business owners to turn up their heaters. The combination of intense heat load and a number of generators down statewide for routine seasonal service have contributed to the current shortage of electricity.
SVP offers the following suggestions to support this effort:
*Set the thermostat at no higher than 68 degrees
*Turn off unused lights, office equipment and appliances
*Schedule large jobs for mid-morning to early afternoon hours when the light is best and heat generated will be helpful
*Avoid using equipment and appliances with large power demand during late afternoon and evening
*For long-term power saving opportunities, call SVP at 408.615.5694 for a free energy audit and recommendations.
