Some items which had come up as suggestions lost their ranking as more ideas were presented. A number of the suggestions, such as wayfinding signage and changes in types of allowable businesses are being addressed already. Some of the changes would not require City, Chamber of Commerce or B.I.D. involvement, such as staying open at night when there are tourists in town.

If passed, this law would restrict all workers within the State of California to working no more than eight hours daily, without the unlikely, arranged payment of overtime. This law is to be voted on in the November election. But hold on! Nothing is yet approved. Committees of fifty persons per county are being organized for the purpose of con- vincing voters that passage of the law would amount to punishing by fine, and possible imprisonment, an employer who permits a worker to labor more than eight hours each day or forty hours each week. This is seen as seriously impacting agricultural interests within the state, not to mention the earnings potential of laborers. The League has announced that its membership takes no view for or against organized or unorganized labor, but will contest this anti-working law to a standstill.

‘Uncle Vinney’ Will Be Missed It was with great sorrow that I read about the untimely death of Vincent Interrante last week. “Uncle Vinney” as he was affectionately called by friends and co-workers was also a true mentor to me! When I started working at the PG Post Office he took me under his wing and showed me the proper way of doing my job which was “breaking” down the mail for the carriers. In his duties as a carrier and supervisor he took the time each day to ask about my family and how I was doing. When he found out that my mother-in-law was on his route it became a running joke that if I got out of line he would “tell Gundy!!” Although I only worked in PG for a year, before going to the Carmel PO , we always stayed in touch and saw each other regularly. He always asked about the family and would end with “Stay out of trouble or I’ll tell Gundy.” So rest in peace, Uncle Vinney, and know you left a lot of very sad friends behind. And I will tell Gundy.

Many of us deal with pain and arthritis that impedes our ability to live gracefully and fully. If you have been told you have Osteoarthritis (OA), you have degenerative joint disease or “wear-and-tear” arthritis. Simply put, the cartilage cushioning your joints has become damaged or worn down. The formerly smooth motion of your affected joints is now grating, and you may have early morning stiffness, inflammation, and pain. Diagnosis may be confirmed through your health care provider or an x-ray, which typically shows a narrowing of the space within the joint and possibly bony outgrowth. OA typically occurs in the hands, hips, knees, neck, and low back. The early morning stiffness with tenderness in the joints and limited flexibility are characteristic of this disease. Major factors contributing to OA include aging, injury, diet, and obesity. Coastal living and damp windy weather may also contribute to increased pain. Is osteoarthritis on the rise, and can we do anything to treat or prevent it? According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) surveys for 2007 - 2009, 50 million American adults have been diagnosed with arthritis. The incidence of OA in 2005 was 27 million, higher in women and older adults. A worrisome projection is the estimate of 67 million diagnosed Americans by 2030. The projected growth is attributed to the baby boomers and an increase in obesity (our fast paced lifestyle with prepared foods unfortunately A Stone’s employee demonstrates the new pet washing bays at Stone’s.
