Gaslighter, one
arrest, up to
30 involved

A confrontation that began in Santa
Cruz erupted into a melee involving
about 30 people in downtown Campbell on July 3.
At 10:30 p.m., the Campbell police
arrested Travis Altman, 20, of Santa
Clara on charges of public intoxication.
Campbell police Capt. David
Dehaan said the fight began outside
the Gaslighter Theatre on E. Campbell Avenue but was moved down
the street by the theater’s security
guards to the corner of Central and
E. Campbell avenues.
According to information received
by the police, the incident was a continuation of hostilities that began at a
concert in Santa Cruz. Dehaan said no
one could confirm when that initial
confrontation had occurred.
By the time the police arrived on the
scene, the individuals involved had
scattered except for Altman. No one
was seriously injured.
“We’re not opposed to the operation
of the Gaslighter or it hosting youth concerts,” Dehaan said. “Kids are going to
want to gather and socialize. We’re
more concerned about addressing the
problem than we are about moving the
problem away from the Gaslighter,
which appears to be the intent of the
security personnel that night.”
However, Susan Gaetano, who coowns the theater with her husband,
Mark, said, “Part of our permitting
process is that we can never have
more than 10 people in front of the
building at any one time.”
Gaetano said the theater’s security
indicated to her that they “felt some
tension” in front of the Gaslighter, but
that the fight started down the block.
Her staff told her they went down to
see if they could help, but there was
nothing they could do.
This incident highlights the police
department’s concerns about the
Gaslighter’s security having the proper
training and wearing uniforms that clearly identify who they are, Dehaan said.
“We’re more concerned about how
these incidents are managed and what
resources are at hand,” he said.
Gaetano said all the theater’s security personnel can be clearly identified.
“We really work with our security on
how to work with kids,” Gaetano said.
“They do a really good job. Usually

through the Campbell Farmers Market. She is visiting her daughter and decided to stop and look at some of the craftwork.
Fruits of Labor
Artisan jewelry is
varied and stylish
By CAROL PALINKAS
S
unday mornings can be a delight to
the senses at the Campbell Farmers
Market. Shoppers can choose from
a variety of colorful vegetables, purchase
fragrant loaves of whole grain bread, buy
organic chicken and select fresh fruit
picked right off the tree. They can also satisfy their sense of style with an array of
original crafts and jewelry.
Ron Pardino, executive director of the
Urban Village Farmers Market Association, says that while there are other farmers markets in the West Valley with
crafters and artisans, Campbell attracts the
largest number of them by far.
“Campbell may be the most popular one
for arts and crafts around,” Pardino says,
adding that its nearest competitor in Sunnyvale only attracts half the number of artisans.
For Tina Groux, the farmers market is
an opportunity to get her feet wet and
learn the business. The owner of Auntities
Beaded Jewels, Groux, who grew up in
Campbell, made jewelry for friends and
family for 14 years before trying to market
her creations. She began selling her pieces
at office parties and, on the advice of a fellow artisan who was already established at
the farmers market, opened her booth in
Campbell last September. Campbell’s
market is open all year.
Groux produces jewelry using high-end
beads, silver and Austrian crystal. She
averages $150 a weekend in sales, with her
sales peaking during the holidays.
“It’s a perfect opportunity when you’re
just starting out,” Groux says. “The business
is very competitive, and the farmers market
is a great way to get your display set up, meet
the community and other artisans, and even
the produce people. It’s really fun.”
Campbell’s market is currently Groux’s
only regular venue, but she hopes to
expand her business to art shows and festivals, using the experience she’s gained at
the farmers market.
In addition to jewelry, crafts are well
represented on Sundays at the farmers
market.
Beaded jewelry adorns one artist’s
booth, while another showcases furnaceglass earrings or oyster shell necklaces.
Interspersed with the jewelers’ wares are
uniquely shaped glass bowls, and handcrafted candles and lotions made from the
wax of local bees.
Gary Chappell, owner of Moonshadows
Creative Jewelry, is an old hand at the jewelry business and sells his jewelry at 12
farmers markets, including Campbell’s.

Music and art mix
at BRUNI Gallery
Music fans with a literary bent can
satisfy both interests July 15 when
Donald Maggin comes to BRUNI
Gallery in downtown Campbell to
sign copies of his latest book, Dizzy
— The Life and Times of John Birke
Gillespie, published by HarperCollins. Maggin will be at the gallery
from 8 to 11 p.m.
Maggin, who also wrote Stan Getz:
A Life in Jazz, has produced concerts
for such jazz luminaries as Max Roach
and Sonny Stitt, and is editor of the literary journal, The Reading Room.
The author will share Gillespie’s
music and anecdotes about the trumpeter and bandleader.
Original paintings by BRUNI will
be introduced that same evening, and
the artist will be at the book signing.
Free concert geared
for young audience
Singer/songwriter and educator
Andy Z will be the featured performer at a free children’s concert on
July 16 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the city’s
Orchard City Green, located at the
corner of Civic Center Drive and
Central Avenue in downtown
Campbell.
Andy Z takes his young audience
on a trip to “Andyland,” where he
encourages children to participate in
sing-alongs, finger plays and body
movement songs. His varied musical
style ranges from rock & roll to classic to Irish music.
The concert is part of the city’s 2005
summer concert series. Families are
welcome to bring refreshments and
lawn chairs, and the Campbell Museum and Ainsley House will offer limited refreshments. The proceeds from
the refreshments will benefit the museum’s educational program and exhibits.
Divorce attorney is
guilty of tax evasion
After a six-day trial, a federal jury
took a little more than an hour to find
Campbell-based divorce attorney
Demetrious Eugenios, 58, guilty of
tax evasion.
Luke Macaulay, U.S. Attorney’s
Office spokesman, said the Internal
Revenue Service’s four-year investigation revealed that Eugenios failed
to pay $613,000 in income tax for 1989
and between 1991 and 1999. Eugenios is believed to have covered up his
assets and income by providing false
financial statements to the IRS.
Macaulay said investigators learned
that Eugenios concealed ownership of
two vehicles, $42,000 in cash, and
$10,000 in gold and silver coins.
Eugenios’ sentencing is scheduled
for Oct. 5. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in state prison and
a fine of $250,000.

Back from War: Spc. Cory McCarthy was riding in a Humvee in Iraq, when a bomb exploded. He
spent the next year in the hospital with doctors working to save his hand. He underwent 12 surgeries.
Veteran returns with hope and drive
Ambush sends McCarthy
home with new focus
By HUGH BIGGAR
C
ory McCarthy has had at least 12
surgeries on his right hand. Along
the way, he has had operations in
three countries and spent a year on an
amputee ward. Despite that, McCarthy
has kept his hand, although more operations may be necessary.
He prefers to wait on the surgery, having other priorities at the moment—chiefly
school.
The 23-year-old Campbell resident is a
first-year De Anza College student and the
first recipient of a new award from a local
nonprofit, Scholarships for Veterans.
“He is absolutely deserving of the
award,” McCarthy’s close friend, Danielle
Rhinehart, says. “He has a good heart, real
integrity and a desire to nurture and take
care of people.”
Gary Lamit, a De Anza instructor who
founded Scholarships for Veterans last fall,
says, “McCarthy had all the right criteria.”
The organization provides scholarships
to military veterans to cover education
costs at area community colleges.
“We had been told about him ahead of
time, and he certainly fit the bill,” Lamit
says. “We also selected him for actions
under fire and because he was wounded.”
McCarthy was wounded in August 2003,
four months after he parachuted into northern Iraq with the 173rd Airborne Brigade’s
Alpha Company.
After landing in the Kurdistan section
of Iraq, Spc. McCarthy and his unit worked
their way south and helped take the city of
Kirkuk and later Tikrit—Saddam Hussein’s hometown. His unit moved often,
relocating every two weeks. McCarthy,
who was trained as a medic, was busy treating the wounded in his company and also
tending to the local population.
“We often treated more Iraqi civilians
than military personnel,” McCarthy says.
“It was always hot,” he adds, with temperatures reaching 135 degrees—hot
enough to turn drinking water into tea.
All the equipment the soldiers carry—
body armor and medical gear—can add
another 15 degrees to the heat.
“We had the majority of our missions at
night to stay out of the heat,” he says.
One such mission on Aug. 10, 2003,
nearly proved fatal for McCarthy.
“I could tell I was going to be hit ahead
of time,” he says.
McCarthy says he was uneasy that
evening because of the route his unit took
on its night raid. It included well-known
spots for ambushes, in particular two
bridges connected by an island. McCarthy
was also uncomfortable about an informant joining them on the raid to pinpoint
a location. Informers usually accompanied
patrols in the daytime.
Just before midnight, outside Al-Hawijah, McCarthy’s cargo Humvee drove
onto the first bridge. Seconds later guerillas detonated a buried 155-mm artillery
shell that exploded next to McCarthy’s
unarmored vehicle.
“There was a loud boom,” McCarthy
says, “and then a body falling on top of me.”
McCarthy took the brunt of the blast.
“Part of my arm right felt numb,” he
says. “The upper part of the arm felt a pain
like a charley-horse. Everything was in
slow motion and my hand felt warm.”
He heard a gunner on his truck’s 50-caliber machine gun also screaming for help.
The gunner did not realize his platoon
medic—McCarthy—had also been hurt.
McCarthy ordered a soldier to care for
his shredded arm, while McCarthy used his
left arm to bandage the wounded gunner.
He then helped his sergeant request a
medical evacuation. The Army would later
award McCarthy a commendation medal
with valor for “heroism during operations
against an armed enemy.”

It is estimated that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6
boys under the age of 18 have been sexually abused. As adults, they may experience
many long-term effects from the sexual
abuse, including relationship problems,
depression, anxiety, and isolation. A recent
study indicates that men and women are
equally affected by childhood sexual abuse.
I facilitate small therapy groups of all
women or all men that focus on breaking
isolation, learning and incorporating
healthy coping skills, and exploring and
expressing memories of abuse in a supportive and nurturing environment. I also provide individual and couples counseling.
I worked for nine years in Santa Clara
County Mental Health in the Inpatient and
Outpatient Departments. I also facilitated
groups for adult survivors of childhood
sexual abuse for four years at Survivors
Healing Center in Santa Cruz. I recently
opened my private practice in San Jose.
Groups are starting soon. Weekday and
evening hours are available.
I welcome new clients and referrals or
inquiries from healthcare providers.
Please call for a consultation.

Lucky Charm: Spc. Cory McCarthy took his small Scooby-Doo (stuffed animal sitting on the end of
the machine gun) to Iraq for good luck. Airborne soldiers carry such ‘jump buddies’ when they parachute
out of planes. Scooby even jumped with McCarthy’s friends. A USA Today article about jump buddies
mentioned Scooby had been lost during the bombing that injured McCarthy, and soldiers in Tikrit who
read the article called to let him know they were searching for Scooby. They found him.

McCarthy arrived by truck at a nearby
aid station. He was covered in blood. Soldiers lifting him out of the back of the truck
recoiled at the sight. He had lost a large
chunk of his thumb, with the remnants
held on by threads of skin. An artery on his
hand had been significantly damaged.
The Army transported McCarthy from
the battlefield aid station to surgical hospitals in Baghdad, then to Landstuhl, Germany, and finally to Washington, D.C.
He spent a year on the amputee ward at
the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in
Washington. For a time he had his hand
grafted to his stomach to grow tissue onto
his hand. Despite the surgeries, an arterial graft for his thumb has not taken and
McCarthy may need more surgery.
For now, McCarthy’s mind is on another goal.
“I realized being out in the world that
without an education you are not going to
get anywhere,” he says. “If you ever want
to make something in this highly competitive world, especially the Bay Area, you
need a solid education.”
He describes himself as an unenthusiastic student growing up in Gilroy. He preferred to hang out with his friends and have
a good time.
“I needed to grow up,” he says.
After a desultory year at Cabrillo College near Santa Cruz, he joined the Army
in May 2001. At the time, he hoped to get
training as medic to help him become a
firefighter. This changed after his injury.
“With my injury,” he says, “I realized I
couldn’t become a firefighter or do other

leader.

manual work. The only career path that I
could go after from that point was a job
that relied more on my intellect than my
physical abilities.”
“He’s come a long way since high
school,” says Rhinehart, a former Gilroy
classmate. “The Army has helped him put
a lot of things in perspective. He’s so excited about school right now.”
After the Army discharged McCarthy
in August 2004, he was ready to give school
a second try. He chose De Anza in part
because it had a later start date than other
schools.
At first the transition did not go smoothly. With his youthful looks—he describes
himself as looking like a skater punk—
school administrators did not believe
McCarthy was a veteran.
He says some students at De Anza are
often uncertain about how to act around a
veteran.
“Just approach a veteran like you would
approach anyone else,” he says.
The discipline McCarthy learned in the
military has also helped him focus.
“He didn’t find himself until after his
service,” says Scholarships for Veterans’
Lamit.
At De Anza, McCarthy arrives early in
the morning for a recreational swim, goes
to class and studies at the library. He then
goes home to Campbell, where he lives
with his aunt. His parents moved from
Gilroy to Aberdeen, Wash., while he was
in the service.
His focus is now on becoming a history
teacher.
“Like a lot of other veterans, I realized
that what you learn in school isn’t always
true,” he says. “I want to make sure things
are fully understood. Textbooks seem to
portray everything in a positive light and
rarely tell the darker sides of history. History can be told in many different forms; it can
be told as tragedies, comedies, romances.
“As a veteran I believe I can help shed
light on these areas. I know teaching is a
way I can give something back.”

Tradition Grows: Kirk’s Steakburgers near the intersection of
Dry Creek Road on S. Bascom Avenue is remodeling to enlarge its
dining area and improve its kitchen. The eatery has been part of the
Campbell landscape for almost 60 years.
Familiar restaurant gets
a facelift after 57 years
By CAROL PALINKAS
Burger aficionados can breathe a sigh of
relief in knowing that the cyclone fencing
around Kirk’s Steakburgers is not an indication that the restaurant is closing. It is
undergoing an extensive remodel, and will
remain open during construction.
Aaron Barger, development manager
for Barry Swenson Builder, said the construction should take about three months.
The work has already begun and concrete
should be poured this week. A new kitchen
is being built, and 497 square feet is being
added to the dining area, nearly doubling
its current size.
“It’s going to look really nice,” Barger
says. “Everyone is excited.”
Kirk’s has been a Campbell institution
for 57 years. John Withers bought the
burger emporium from the original owners about 10 years ago, along with two others—one in Palo Alto, the other in Cupertino. Two years ago he moved the Palo

Property Damage—July 3, 10:30 p.m. A
51-year-old man drove his vehicle into a
support post on W. Hamilton Ave. The
man backed up and then hit the pole again.
Authorities found the man intoxicated. He
was arrested on charges of drunk driving
and property damage.
Drunk Driving—July 3, 8:40 p.m. A 42year-old woman was stopped by police at S.
Bascom Avenue on suspicion of being intoxicated. Authorities found she was under the
influence of alcohol and arrested her.
Assault—July 3, 8:15 a.m. A man

after a fight with his ex-girlfriend the night
Alto restaurant into a newer, more attractive space, and now he is improving the
Campbell location. Once the S. Bascom
Avenue restaurant is remodeled, Barger
plans to renovate his Cupertino location.
Even though the Campbell restaurant
will be enlarged, it will retain its unique
style, and, most importantly, the food will
not change.
Withers says the restaurant will look the
same, but that the building, originally constructed in 1966, needed to be modernized.
Withers wants to increase the restaurant’s
operating efficiency, as well as provide
more space for dining.
Withers didn’t want to provide cost figures on remodeling, but acknowledged
that the investment was significant.
“But our customers deserve it,” he
added.

were flat. He accused his ex-girlfriend of
vandalism and held a screwdriver to her
neck threatening to “take care” of the
problem. He then punctured the tire on
her car and fled before the police arrived.
Drunk Driving—July 3, 2:55 a.m. A 26year-old man blew out a tire at the intersection of Campisi and Creekside ways.
He tried to flee when authorities arrived
at the scene. He was under the influence of
alcohol and arrested.
Abandoned Vehicle—June 29, 7:47 a.m.
A Campbell police officer attempted to stop
a car for a traffic violation but the driver fled
the scene. The police gave chase but lost sight
of the car. The car was eventually located but
it was abandoned. Authorities searched the
area but did not find the driver or passenger.

City wants to preserve look
of turn-of-the-century home
By CAROL PALINKAS
The neighborhood on Sunnyside
Avenue will continue to reflect Campbell’s
turn-of-the-century architecture thanks to
the city’s historic preservation board.
The commissioners unanimously recommended, at their June 27 meeting, that
Arlette Crews, the owner of the historical
home at 120 Sunnyside Ave., continue
working with the Campbell Planning
Department to develop a project more in
line with the property’s historic nature.
Crews indicated she was willing to work
with staff to resolve any concerns that
would delay the project.
The house was built in 1904 and is on the
city’s historical resources inventory due to
its architectural significance. The home is
typical of the colonial revival cottages that
dotted the city’s landscape at the turn of the
century, Sharon Fierro, Campbell community development director, says. The board’s
interest is in keeping the historical flavor of
the neighborhood, Fierro said.
Crews filed an application to subdivide
the property and reposition the home so it
faces Sunnyside Avenue. This will enable
her to construct a second house on the
back of the property. Crews is working

there’s going to be a problem, it’s going to
be when the show gets out.”
The Campbell Police Department has
had issues with the Gaslighter’s security in
the past, but this incident was the largest.
The situation of security was also
addressed at a Campbell Planning Commission hearing in 2003 when the owners
reapplied for a conditional use permit to
continue their live entertainment and late-
with the board to ensure that the new
home will fit in with the period architecture
of the neighborhood.
Fierro says the board’s recommendations are only advisory, but Crews is
required to submit an application because
of the home’s placement on the historic
resources inventory.
For projects that have a historical significance, individuals are encouraged to
submit plans early on in the process,
Campbell planner Stephanie Willsey said.
This enables residents to receive informal
feedback and “bounce ideas” around.
These preliminary discussions can be
beneficial to the owner and the city especially when proposed plans change the
look of a neighborhood.
During the meeting, preservation board
commissioner Mark Sandoval objected to
a proposed carport that was shown in the
preliminary designs and suggested a
detached garage positioned between the
two homes, which he said would be “more
traditional.”
Sandoval also wanted more information
about the new home, saying that he didn’t
like “cookie-cutter plans” on houses that are
historic. “I would support plans that reflect
the period architecture,” Sandoval said.
night hours.
At the meeting Campbell police Capt.
Russ Patterson said that if authorities
found “a lot of inappropriate behavior”
occurring, the department would ask the
city to terminate the permit.
Dehaan said he didn’t believe the city
would revoke the theater’s permits after
this recent occurrence. He said the police
understand that these incidents will happen occasionally.
He also acknowledged that once the
police arrived at the scene, the theater’s
security was cooperative, as well as during
a follow-up investigation into the matter.

The Santa Clara County Office of the
District Attorney has charged a former
Branham High School teacher’s aide with
having sex and providing drugs to a high
school student.
Deputy district attorney and head of the
sex crimes unit Victoria Brown said
Catherine Carole Rose, 47, was arraigned
on July 5 on three felonies counts—unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, furnishing a controlled substance to a minor
and oral copulation with a minor—and one
misdemeanor charge, child endangerment,
involving her relationship with a 17-yearold student. The charges carry a maximum
of 10 years and four months in prison.
Bail was set at $25,000 and Rose is still
in custody, said deputy district attorney
Sam Liccardo, who is prosecuting the case.
Rose has not entered a plea.
Rose voluntarily turned herself in to the
San Jose Police Department on July 4,
after the police issued a warrant for her
arrest on July 1, Sgt. Nick Muyo said.
The Campbell Union High School District placed Rose on paid administrative
leave after she was arrested more than two
months ago.
The police first spotted Rose on the
Branham High School campus acting
erratically on April 22, according to police
spokesman Enrique Garcia. Rose was
wearing sunglasses and talking fast and
loud, symptoms consistent with the use of
cocaine or methamphetamine, he said.
Further investigation led the police to
believe the aide had a sexual relationship
with a student, Garcia said. Rose was
booked into the Santa Clara County Jail
on April 22 and released several days later
when the district attorney’s office failed to
press charges.
Further investigation led to the warrant,
Liccardo said.
Liccardo was unable to provide further
details about the case because the investigation is still ongoing.

He tries to attend each market at least once
a month.
Chappell, who has been making jewelry since 1972, also sells his custom jewelry at art shows, where as many as
50,000 visitors can inspect his work.
While the art shows pay the rent, Chappell says he enjoys the more intimate
nature of the markets. The farmers market is an opportunity to see the same
people regularly and develop relationships with them.
“It’s nice to see the people over and
over again,” he says. “I get to know them
because I see them so many times, as
opposed to art shows, where it’s a once-ayear thing.”
Chappell adds that the farmers markets
are a good place for artists to begin
because the entry fees can be significantly
higher at art shows.
Still, not everybody can plunk down the
fee and start selling their wares.

that the work is original. Just as the farmers must grow the food that they sell,
crafters must create their own pieces, and
no reselling is allowed.
Artisans pay $35 for a booth, far less
than what they would shell out for a space
at some festivals and art fairs.
Betty Deal, executive director of the
Campbell Chamber of Commerce, says
that’s like comparing apples to oranges.
Deal says depending on what type of
booth and where it is, the cost of a booth at
a festival such as Boogie on the Bayou or
the Oktoberfest can be anywhere from
$250 to $2,000. She points out that the difference is significant.
“Ours is two days,” she says. “You get
more people, you’ve got more audience,
you’ve got more marketing as far as publicity and advertising.”
With about 1,000 people visiting on any
given weekend, profits at the farmers
market can also be impressive, especially during the holidays. But they are not
guaranteed.
J. Steven Brocato, owner of Brocato
Glass Designs, attends numerous farmers
markets and art festivals and says that it
may be more expensive to obtain a booth
at the festivals, but these events have a
more dedicated audience.
“The general consensus is that people
who go to the art and wine festivals come
to buy crafts, and usually the people who
go to the farmers market go to get produce,” he says.

using “slumped glass,” a process that
involves glass sheets cut to fit ceramic
molds and then heated in an electric kiln
to transfer the forms and patterns from the
ceramic onto the glass.
He says that his earnings can vary.
“Sometimes, I get nothing. And I still have
to pay the rent.”
But he also says that the Campbell farmers market offers him a regular venue and
a profitable opportunity, as much as $500
for a weekend of work.
Redevelopment coordinator Francine
Principe says that as of July10 the market
was expanded and reconfigured so that the
artisan booths are now located at the eastern entrance to the downtown just past the
railroad tracks. Previously, the farmers
market began at the intersection of Campbell and Central avenues.
Downtown merchants on that end had
complained that their businesses weren’t
benefiting from the foot traffic the market brings due to the barricades across
Central Avenue. At the same time, the
western end merchants were concerned
that the booths were too close to their
storefronts and were keeping potential
customers away.
“The ambiance that the artisans create
may be a better fit at that end of the street,”
Principe says, “where we have other
stores, shops and galleries, as opposed to
being in front of a mortuary and a closed
real estate office.”
Principe says the artisans add another
dimension to the market.
“They bring a more relaxed atmosphere,” she says. “It makes it more fun
and gives people who aren’t into cooking
a reason to come to the market.”
The Campbell farmers market is held
every Sunday year round from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. along Campbell Avenue between
First Street down to the tracks. The street
is closed off to all vehicular traffic during
the market’s operating hours.

OPINION
Editorial
Time to slow down the development
D
uring the month of July our city’s
landscape has changed dramatically. First it was the demolition of
Breuner’s Home Furnishings, leaving a
mammoth lot, nearly 8.5-acres, to greet
commuters as they exit Hamilton Avenue
off of S. Highway 17. That emptiness will
soon be replaced with two large retail
buildings—Kohl’s Department Store and
a potential Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Next, Fung Lum Chinese restaurant, a
city landmark that stood at the corner of
Bascom Avenue and Campisi Way for 31
years, was bulldozed in a day to make way
for a mixed-used retail luxury- condominium project.
At the Los Gatos Creek trailhead by
Campbell Avenue and the Highway 17
overpass, a 95-room extended stay Marriott TownePlace Suites is rising faster
than a high tide. And the light rail, with
stops at Hamilton and Campbell avenues

and Winchester Boulevard will soon be
carrying passengers from the Orchard
City to downtown San Jose and back.
Within weeks, pockets of history have
swiftly disappeared or been reshaped,
bringing the importance of our city’s balance to the forefront.
These changes lead us to ask, “Are
Campbell officials trying so hard to bring
in revenue that their decisions could fragment our city’s future identity?”
The answer is still up for debate, but
there are signs that this might be the case.
Like other municipalities throughout
the South Bay, Campbell is caught in a
budget battle, with more dollars going out
than coming in due to the state’s mismanagement of funds. This has forced the city
to keep dipping into its reserves in order
to balance the books. It also means that
Campbell has had to look for new ways to
bring in revenue so our city services are not
jeopardized. That requires some tough
decision making.
One of the ways to bring increased revenue is through business taxes, making it
hard to say no when a nationwide retailer
or hotel chain comes to town wanting to
build. But not all proposed projects are the
right ones, even when city officials have
good intentions.
Well thought out projects like the Fung
Lum development—with retail at street
level and 45-luxury condominiums
above—and the 24-condominium Water
Tower development off First Street and
Orchard City Drive are good land uses.
These projects add housing, business and
aesthetic improvements to our community. Another project the city deserves
kudos for is the soon to operate light rail
system. It, too, will enhance our community. But projects like Kohl’s which now
might also include Bed, Bath & Beyond
and the Marriott TownePlace Suites
were approved solely for the revenues
they will infuse into the city. Projects of
this nature are OK in small doses, but we
are now moving closer to the mega-dose
stage, which eventually results in an overdose. Our city already has a Home
Depot, Fry’s Electronics, Staples,
Mervyn’s, Marshall’s, Ross and numerous large-size hotels. Yet we are only a
mere 38,000 plus in population and 6
miles in size. It’s time for city officials to
step back and take a deep breath.
Solving our revenue problem is indeed
of paramount concern, but it should not
overshadow sensibility. We need to grow
smart not bigger. That’s the only way we
can make sure our small-town atmosphere
and all the history that officials have
worked so hard preserve aren’t lost in the
name of process.

Campbell resident Tony Furlong, an active member of Hope Christian
Church in Los Gatos, died of brain cancer on June 26. He was 48.
Furlong was integral member
of Hope Christian Church band
By JENNIFER MCBRIDE
O
ne seat in the Los Gatos Hope
Christian Church band fell silent
last week, when guitar player Tony
Furlong, 48, lost his battle with brain cancer.
Furlong, a Campbell resident, died on
June 26.
He had been a member of Hope Christian since it first opened, serving on the
prayer ministry, holding the position of
executive pastor for awhile, and playing in
the band that performed during Sunday
services and at special events.
Furlong’s wife, Joni, says he suffered
two seizures in 1998, which led doctors to
discover a benign tumor in his brain. Tony
went through six weeks of radiation, and
then enjoyed many years of health, Joni
says. However, last September he was
diagnosed with stage four brain cancer, the
most advanced type. He had surgery the
following month to remove as much of the
cancer as possible, and then went through
six months of chemotherapy with an MRI
every two months to make sure the cancer
wasn’t growing back. Joni says that during
this time, other than mild sickness after
chemotherapy treatments, her husband
seemed to be doing fine.
“It was difficult for some people to grasp,
because he seemed so healthy,” she says.
Unfortunately, in May, during his third
MRI, it was discovered that the tumor had
grown back.
Doctors at UC-San Francisco, where
Furlong was treated, enrolled him in the
first phase of a clinical trial for an experimental drug, with hopes that it could help
his situation. He was scheduled for three
infusions of the drug, but was only able to
do the first two before he took a turn for
the worse, Joni says.
“We knew what the prognosis was, but
you always have hope,” she says. “Now
he’s in Heaven, which is a much better
place for him to be than where he was at
the end, isn’t it?” Joni asks their 6-year-old
son, Sean, who nods. Sean has a brother,
Anthony, 8.
Joni says her husband was perhaps best
known for his music—he was an integral
member of the Hope Christian band for
five years, playing electric guitar.
“He could actually play almost any
instrument,” she says. “Music was his first
love. It would have been his day job if we
could have afforded it.”
‘He was always
compassionate of other
people. He was selfless.
Even when he was
starting to show the
symptoms of the brain
tumor, he still made sure
to come in and pray for
other people.’
—Daian Onaka
Daian Onaka, who served on the prayer
team with Furlong at Hope Christian, says,
“He had a very good heart. He was always
compassionate of other people. He was selfless. Even when he was starting to show the
symptoms of the brain tumor, he still made
sure to come in and pray for other people.”
Joni and Onaka agree that the music
Tony played at the church touched everyone who heard it.
“He was a man of few words; he didn’t
talk much, but he really expressed himself
through his music,” Joni says.
“He always came alive when a guitar
was in his hand,” Onaka says.

Yes Sir: Paul DiLoreto, a Campbell resident, is the young son in a
traditional Chinese family growing up in America. He performs in
the West Valley Light Opera Association performance of the ‘Flower
Drum Song.’
‘Flower Drum Song’ actors
perform in ageless conflict
By RUTH C. WAMUYU
Amateur performers Melissa Tom and
Paul DiLoreto are stoking their passion for
the stage while exploring the generation
gaps in a San Francisco Chinatown family.
The actors appear in a West Valley
Light Opera Association production of
Flower Drum Song, a musical that portrays
the “ageless conflict between the old and
the new—the old and the young.”
Tom, a Willow Glen resident, plays the
role of Helen Chao, a seamstress who has
known the key family in the story for a
long time and is secretly in love with the
family's older son, Wang Ta, who treats
her like a sister.
Paul, a Campbell resident, plays Wang
Chi, a young boy having problems with his
father. The two are caught in a culture
clash, trying to balance Chinese tradition
with American culture.
Paul plays a “sassy smart-aleck” who
talks back to his father, walking away from
authority during arguments.
“I am supposed to be really annoying to
him,” Paul says.
To a degree Paul says he can identify
with the character because sometimes this
happens with his parents also. But, he
points out that his father is nothing like
Wang Chi.
Roy Shimada, who plays Wang Chi, says
he thinks of Paul and the cast as his second
family.
“I am even closer to these people than
to my own family because I spend more
time with them,” Shimada says.
The retired certified physical therapist
has been with the West Valley group since
1975 and says he interacts with Paul well.
But Tom says she rarely sees Paul
because, during breaks, he is outside playing with the other children.
Paul, an eighth-grader at St. Lucy Parish
School in Campbell, was introduced to the
theater by his voice teacher when he was
nine. He discovered it was something he
liked after performing in Pinocchio.
His mother researched different acting
groups and introduced him to the West Valley Light Opera when he was 11 years old.
Unlike Paul and Shimada, this is Tom's
first experience with the West Valley Light
Opera group but she did start honing her
talents at a young age.
Tom, 24, started playing piano in elementary school and vividly remembers
when the Monte Vista High School choir,
the Madrigals, led by director Jack Lindsay,
came to her elementary school to perform.
“I knew I wanted to join that choir,” she
says.
The choir only accepted about 25 students and only five of them could be
juniors. The rest were seniors. Tom wanted to join the choir so for two years she
took vocal lessons to improve her skills
and became a member as a junior.
Tom has been in other musicals, including the Music Man, Oliver and Guys' n'
Dolls. She has also acted in non-musical
productions, participating in 30-minute
interactive plays for children at the Children's Discovery Museum.
When Tom is not rehearsing, she is
teaching theater to first-and secondgraders for a nonprofit organization, Starting Arts. The organization aims to put
dance, music and theater education back
into schools, she says.
She also attends San Jose Staté University where she is majoring in theater.
“Flower Drum Song,” performances run
through July 30 at the Saratoga Civic Theater, 13777 Fruitvale, Saratoga. For more

EDUCATION
High school district leaps
forward with wireless link
By ALICIA UPANO
The Campbell Union High School District will install a wireless Internet system
that will make its sluggish cyberspace connection a thing of the past.
In late June, final tests confirmed that the
district could receive wireless Internet
access from the top of one of the PruneYard
Towers in the Pruneyard Shopping Center.
The school board members approved
the project at their May 5 meeting.
The district has been working for 1 1/2
years on improving its slow Internet connection in the district office and its six high
school sites, said Terry Peluso, district
director of student assessment. The speed
problems were caused by a high use level
on the schools existing T1 lines, Peluso
said. The wireless system will add an additional seven megabytes to each site, or
triple its capacity.
The old system was sufficient when only
each school’s attendance clerk used the
computer regularly. Today, however,
administrators in the district office and
schools use the computers regularly and at
least one-third of teachers use the Internet in their lesson plans, Peluso said.
Along with slow connections, the T1s
went down occasionally, cutting Internet
access throughout the district. The district
will now have two internet connections—
T1 lines and wireless. One system will
serve as a backup when the other system
goes off-line.
Peluso said other school districts such as
Evergreen School District have already
switched to a wireless system, but were
smaller districts and had buildings that
were located relatively close together.
Campbell Union High School District,
however, has several sites located throughout San Jose, Saratoga and Campbell,
making the process more complex.
In order for wireless Internet to work,
Peluso said there must be “line of sight”
between the system and all seven sites. In
an urban setting such as the Campbell
area, many things interfere with line of
sight, such as tall buildings or concrete
parking structures.
In the district’s search to map out a possible route, the PruneYard’s Towers
became a prime chose. The top floor of the
taller tower, formerly a restaurant, now
houses electrical equipment. The district’s
new system will be located on the top floor
and the roof. Equity Office Properties
Trust leased the space to the district in the
Pruneyard at “substantially below market
value,” Peluso said.
The new system will be in place before
school begins on Aug. 29. Once established, the system will save money because
the district will own the equipment. The
district’s only costs will be its monthly T1
bills, Peluso said.
Most of all, Peluso said the new system
will improve the district’s current system
and allow for increased Internet usage.
Internet usage is growing between teachers
and parents, who use the web to communicate about grades and homework, he said.
“We’re really excited about it,” Peluso
added. “It’s the size we need for now and
the future.”
Forest Hill PTA aids school in
big way, district recognizes effort
By ALICIA UPANO
The Campbell Union School District
may not be able to offer its schools any
extras during a budget crisis, but administrators and teachers at Forest Hill Elementary School know that they can always
count on their Parent Teacher Association.
Each year, the Forest Hill PTA donates
up to $50,000 to the school. These funds
pay for all field trips and provide stipends
to teachers so they will not have to purchase classroom-related items out of their
own pockets.
“The PTA is absolutely invaluable to
Forest Hill School,” school Principal
Maria Wetzel said.
The Campbell Union School District
also recognized the PTA at its June 9 governing board meeting for its $6,000 donation to the fourth- and fifth-grade literacy
program, the Pull Out Program.
In these grades, the student-teacher
ratio is 30 to 1. The program allows fourthand fifth-grade teachers to give their students more individualized attention by hiring a teacher to “pull out” half of the class
once a week for additional studies, such as
writing. The classroom teacher then has a
class of 15 during those periods.
Like the Pull Out Program, the PTA’s
work tries to fill the needs at the school,
PTA president Carol Tsuchiya and vice
president Connie Peters said.
The majority of the funding is applied
toward field trips for all grades, including
transportation and entrance fees to places
such as Vasona Park or San Juan Bautista.
The goal, said Tsuchiya, who became
involved when her son, Eric, entered
kindergarten in 2003, is to lower the outof-pocket expenses for parents.
“Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I
knew I had the time to get involved in all
my children’s activities whether it be sports
or school,” said Tsuchiya, who starts her
second year as president.
Tsuchiya works closely with the teachers and meets with Wetzel on a weekly
basis. The PTA also holds several teacher
appreciation lunches each year.
“It’s a really good feeling to know my son’s
at a school that has such wonderful parent
volunteers, teachers and staff,” she said.

Gray’s 2-run
double is not
enough for the
Quito all-stars
By JESSICA PETERS
The Quito Little League 11-yearold all-stars lost 19-6 to Almaden
South last Saturday to finish the tournament winless in four games.
Almaden held Quito scoreless in
the first two innings, but Quito got a
jumpstart in the third after hurler
Trevor Ross struck out the side in
the top of the inning. His team
responded with a four-run effort to
bring the score to 7-4.
Ian Gray belted the key hit, blasting a double to centerfield with Aaron
Newman and Yamato Villesenor on
base. Gray would eventually score, as
would Casey Mintz after a big hit from
Grant Brownfield.
Almaden scored only once in the
fourth inning, as Quito shortstop
Brian Tashjian threw a laser home to
stop Michael Chang from scoring.
Though Quito added another run in
the bottom of the fifth—Mintz walked,
then scored when Nicky Wahl put a
ball in play—nothing could have prepared the team for the sixth inning
when Almaden batted around.
Mintz finally made the catch that
ended the inning for Quito, chasing
down a deep shot and reeling it in.
Quito added one more run in the bottom of the sixth, but Almaden’s 19
runs were out of reach.
Quito’s all-stars were Brian
Tashjian, Aaron Newman, Yamato
Villesenor, Ian Gray, Trevor Ross,
Casey Mintz, Nikhil Patel, John Patterson, Nicky Wahl, Grant Brownfield
and Eugene Clark.
District 12 majors
The Saratoga major division all-star

16, 12:30 p.m., to close out pool play.
Quito, a first round loser to Cambrian Park, will face Lincoln Glen on
July 13, 5:30 p.m., and Branham Hills
on July 16, 3 p.m., to finish pool play.
The top two teams in each pool will
advance to the tournament semifinals
on July 18 with the championship
game to be played on July 20. Both
games will begin at 5:30 p.m.

I
t was power versus power.
.
It was the power pitching of Campbell Little League right hander Brian
Scott against the power hitting of Cupertino American’s major all-stars in a District 44 match-up of teams with 2-0 records.
No contest!
Campbell’s hard-throwing Scott throttled CA’s bats with an 8-0 no-hitter, striking out 15 batters and allowing just two
baserunners on July 9 at Cupertino’s Wilson Park. A two-out walk on a full count
pitch in the first and an error by Scott himself on a slowly hit ball in the third were the
only blemishes on the pitching gem.
The victory, following convincing triumphs over Sunnyvale National (9-1) and
Cupertino National (9-0), powered Campbell into the winners bracket final of the 14team, double-elimination tourney. Campbell was set to meet Briarwood of Santa
Clara on July 12.
The winner of that game advances to the
July 16 championship game at Cupertino’s
Kennedy Middle School. The loser gets a
couple days off before tangling with the
elimination bracket survivor July 15 at De
Anza Park in Sunnyvale.
One of the final six teams battling
through the losers bracket will be Moreland, which suffered a 3-1 setback to Briarwood last Saturday. Moreland, which
opened with a 4-2 win over defending
champ Serra and backed that up with a 71 conquest of Sunnyvale Southern, takes
a 2-1 record into an elimination game on
July 13 at Raynor Park in Sunnyvale.
Cupertino American’s batters had demonstrated offensive firepower with as many
extra-base hits as singles during victories over
Mountain View (12-2) and Tri-Cities (7-4),
but they were overpowered by Scott.
Scott’s strong earlier effort—five
innings of two-hit ball against Sunnyvale
National—paled in comparison with Saturday’s outing.
He struck out the first two batters, then
issued his one walk. On the next pitch, the
CA batter popped weakly to second baseman Chris Olivier, ending the inning.
Scott continuously peppered the target of catcher John Nelson, striking out
the side in the second and the first two
batters in the third. The next batter
reached second on Scott’s misplay, but he
fanned the next batter for the third out.
The first two CA batters in the fourth
grounded out on late swings, one to
Olivier and the other to first baseman
Joshua Jacobsen. Scott then closed out
by striking out the next seven batters,
several on just three pitches.
Scott’s no-hitter was the second straight
shutout for the Campbell staff. Nick
Moreno (five innings) and Jake Silvas

Nowhere To Go: Campbell’s
Brian Scott tries to get out of the
way, but the pitch finds him in
District 12 major division all-star
action against Sunnyvale
National. Campbell went on to
record a 9-1 win in the game, and
Scott came back to toss a nohitter for his club in an 8-0 win
over Cupertino American.
(one) combined for the shutout of Cupertino National. Silvas also pitched a scoreless sixth in relief of Scott in the opener.
Against Cupertino American, Scott
helped himself at the plate. He collected
three of Campbell’s eight hits and scored
three runs, including the first of three Campbell runs that came during a two-out rally in
the top of the first. Later, his double off of
the right-field fence fueled a three-run sixth.
Olivier had a pair of hits, including an
RBI single in the third. Shortstop Jon Salhany lofted a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Earlier in the week a six-run second
inning broke open the tourney opener
against Sunnyvale National. Tim Dovedot’s two-run double down the leftfield
line was the biggest hit of the frame.
In the third inning, Nelson turned in a
pair of fine plays from behind the plate.
After the first batter walked, the strongarmed catcher threw him out stealing.
Later in the inning, Nelson picked another runner off second for the final out.
Other players contributing to Campbell’s early tourney success have been
Lawrence Moreno, Joey DeiRossi, Casey
Thompson and Ryan Sampson.
9-10 all-stars
Another Moreland-Campbell matchup was set for July 11 at Washington
Park in Sunnyvale. Both teams sandwiched victories around tough secondround losses.
After walloping Cupertino American
19-4, Moreland fell 2-0 to Mountain View
but blasted Sunnyvale Southern 20-8.
Meanwhile, Campbell blanked Briarwood
5-0, lost 4-3 to Serra and recovered with a
5-2 win over Homestead.
Moreland banged out 11 hits in its win
over CA, including three each by Ben
Frieden and winning pitcher Tanner Vinson and two by Jordan Gojenola. One of
Gojenola’s hits was a two-run single.
Steven Wright added an RBI double.
Monday’s Moreland-Campbell winner
advances to a July 13 game at Campbell’s
Holman Field, then would need to win five
games in five days to claim the district title.
Juniors
Moreland split a pair of games, bowing
12-2 to defending champion Cupertino
National before dumping Sunnyvale
National 17-7.
After entering the fourth inning against
Sunnyvale with a 6-2 deficit, Moreland
scored 15 runs over the last four innings to
win easily. Joel Palermo doubled home
two runs in the fifth, and Michael
McCrone followed with a triple to help
break open the game. Kevin Peach
pitched the first four innings, and was followed to the mound by Michael Tow,
Tyler Vinson and David Gillette. Tow
picked up the decision.
