They also filled gorges, built bridges and trestles, and fought hostile winters in the moun­ tains and great plains. He tells the story of the surveyors and engineers who picked the route and laid out the line and the businessmen and finan­ ciers who managed the enterprise. Construction began immediately after the Civil War when the U.S. government pitted two companies against each other in a race to build the railroad. The Central Pacific began its construction in Sacramento head­ ing east while the Union Pacific began in Omaha heading west. Both com­ panies soon developed massive logistical operations to get locomotives, rails, ties and spikes to the end of each line. At their peak, the work forces approached the size of Civil War armies, with as many as 15,000 workers on each line. It is hard to imagine now that these railroads were built across a great wilderness. But when they met at Promontory Point, Utah, the railroad and the telegraph that moved along with it, tied the country together. The time to travel from New York to San Francisco fell from months to seven days and cost dropped dramatically, stimulating interstate commerce and the settlement of the West. The telegraph provided instant communication across the country which was previously impossible.

Would you recommend this book? Ambrose has written a readable book about a complex subject that includes politics, finance, scandal and fraud as well as the incredible feat of actually constructing the railroad. While the writing is a bit uneven and repetitious at times, I would recommend it to those who enjoy U.S. his­ tory and the Civil War period. Early photographs of this amazing feat of construction are included in the book and provide added perspective.

What book will you read next? I just started The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order by Samuel P. Huntington. The book, written by an eminent political scientist, presents a framework for understanding die realities of global politics in the next century. My son gave this book to me as a present and has assured me that I will find it both thought provoking and enjoyable.

I can do a little part of it if I am short on time, but I love being able to make the loop, which takes me and my dog Rusty about an hour or so. The trail starts near the parking lot of the Church of Latter Day Saints on Euclid, between Rosecrans and Laguna Road. A large sign mark­ ing the trailhead reads Nora Kuttner Trail so it’s hard to miss. You will climb about half a mile, then veer to the right and continue climbing to the summit, where a clearing appears off to the right. From here you have a 360-degree view of the mountains to the north, and on a clear day to the west...well, you can see Catalina, trust me! It’s a great place to watch the sunrise or set. This winter there were some fantastic views of the snow-covered mountains that this flatland Texas girl still finds unbelievable. Sometimes that’s as far as I get, and then I head back down the way I came. Other times I continue west on the trail which goes through a eucalyptus grove then heads down to Castlewood Drive. The trail follows the street then climbs up again after crossing Gilbert. The views on this part of the trail entail the ex­ panse of urban land toward the Pacific Ocean, in­ cluding the Knott’s Berry Farm skyline. I prefer to look to my right where empty oil fields are left to grow wild and untouched, and they look fairly forbidding with their cactus and open, exposed brush. Hopefully they will remain this way, yet my wanderings around town make me worry that one day there will be no more open spaces left in our community. Go see it while we have it, folks!!

Composers Robert Erickson, Lou Harrison, and Harry Partch have all made use of this palette of sounds, “...my favorite aspect of the music, and percussion in general, is the ability to embrace all sound sources as possible musical material. One thing that no one can accuse me of is playing six pieces that all sound the same..” says Reed. The concert will feature the compositions of Graeme Leak, Frederic Rzewski, and Iannis Xenakis alongside new pieces composed by Reed. The musical material includes improvisational ex­ cursions on the vibraphone, the delicate sounds of clay pots and text, and the driving rhythms of com­ poser Xenakis played out on drums. Reed has col­ lected many of his instruments from the local hard­ ware store. “’’You’d be surprised how rarely em­ ployees ask if you need help when you are check­ ing the tuning of a pile of ceramic tiles with a mal­ let.” The Chance Theater is located at 5576 East La Palma Avenue in Anaheim Hills.

Each and every time a player got a hit a Coins, for Collin” canister was passed around so fans could deposit coins to help cover rising medical costs for Collin Webb who turned 7 on Saturday. By week’s end more than $4,000 dollars was donated to the Collin Webb Fund. In addition to playing their hearts out in the games to benefit Collin, players from the Single A Angels and Single A Orioles went the extra distance as they stepped up into the barber’s chair before their game to shave their heads so their friend and fellow player, Collin, would not feel bad about losing his hair after undergoing extensive chemotherapy and radiation to treat tumors in his spine and brain. While Collin could not attend the game to see his bald friends play, his spirit was uplifted by their support. As Collin continues to fight his cancer, the Golden Hill Little League will continue its fundraising efforts. A car wash is slated for May 6th at the Sunnyside76 Station (Brea and Bastanchury) from 8am to 2pm. Radio Disney will broadcast live from the event, which will also feature a raffle and a game booth.
