The class of 82 reunion is next week! ALUMNI CHALLENGE Steve Palmer '74 created a wonderful videotape of the alumni challenge 2002 for the folks who pledged and donated in support of the Alumni Challenge 2002. I've captured the first 11 minutes of Steve's tape and added it here: http://www.encinahighschool.com/homecoming/challenge02.htm There are links to the clips in the section under the first pictures entitled Alumni Challenge videoclip. This clip includes an introduction, the channel 3 and channel 10 newspots, interviews with the players, referees and Christine Kojima, and concludes with highlights of the game. This is a great way to experience the excitement of the alumni challenge game for those who could not attend in person! Highly recommended! The clips are available in RealMedia (27mb) and Windows Media (17mb) format, so you should be able to download and view these clips if you have the RealMedia Player or the Windows Media Player. The original DV AVI file was 2.5gb. I was surprised at how watchable these highly compressed RealMedia and Windows Media clips were. Enjoy! YEARBOOKS The class of 71 yearbook is online here: http://www.encinahighschool.com/yearbooks/class1971/index.htm Many thanks to Encina for scanning the 71 yearbook and to Merri Sue Goff Brown 72 for scanning some of the missing pages. I've made an Adobe Acrobat PDF file of the entire yearbook which has a table of contents. If you have a duplex printer, you could print the entire yearbook from this PDF file. Unfortunately, the PDF file is about 160mb, but that shouldn't be a problem for those with broadband connections. LOU DECOSTA 66 Lou DeCosta 66 wrote the pilot for 'Justice'... Real Brockovich hosts Lifetime's real-life 'Justice' HOLLYWOOD REPORTER July 30, 2002 NEW YORK -- Lifetime Television has signed up civic crusader Erin Brockovich to host its new reality series "Final Justice," which profiles real women facing extraordinary circumstances.The series is produced by the LMNO Cable Group Inc. Executive producers are Eric Schotz, Bill Paolantonio and Kathy Williamson. Ruth Rivin is co-executive producer. Lifetime has ordered 13 episodes of "Justice," but no airdate has been set. Scheduled to launch in the first quarter of next year, "Justice" will examine such real-life cases as Susan Wilson, who discovered she was being privately videotaped by her next-door neighbor. Brockovich, the subject of Universal's 1999 theatrical release "Erin Brockovich," starring Julia Roberts, is no stranger to taking on the system. As a paralegal, Brockovich was the catalyst for a $333 million class-action suit against Pacific Gas & Electric in Hinkley, Calif. " 'Final Justice' is truly a reflection of Erin's tenacity and strength of spirit," said Bill Brand, Lifetime's senior vp reality programming. "Erin has walked in these women's shoes and embodies the belief that one woman can make a difference." REUNION MUSIC Al Moss 63 wrote: Harlan, if any of the classes are looking for good time old time Rock-n-Roll, let me know. We are good and loud just like we were 40 years ago. Only difference today is we need to be loud cause we can't hear anything. We aren't cheap--reasonable---but very good, if I must say so myself. Ron Flogel and Tom Phillips are doing the same thing. Thanks Al Moss "63" Paalco@aol.com REUNIONS Just one week to the class of 82 reunion!

I'll be glad to publish these lists on the class homepages and keep them up to date. Also, encourage your classmates to submit their bios.

The place that we had decided on has CLOSED its doors. Therefore, we are forced to basically start over. The chances of getting a place, and on the same date, are VERY slim. And considering that we have received few rsvps, I have decided to re-evaluate the plans. Elk Grove Park has wonderful areas to have a reunion, BBQ, games and we can bring the fun. We can lower the price of the tickets significantly and still have the event catered. Or we can supply the meat and the drinks and the people who attend can bring a side dishes. KIDS will then be WELCOME to attend and we will probably be able to supply many different things for them to be entertained. So please get back to me with what you think we should do. Or if you have any other ideas, we would love to hear them, too. Get back to us ASAP, our decision is going to be ma Rochelle Laun (Karrick) Date: Saturday, October 19, 2002 Place: Park TBD Contact Rochelle Karrick Laun at RochLaun@yahoo.com or Jannell Penney at penneytax@msn.com CLASS OF 1993 *** UPDATE *** Hello Class of 1993! Here's the scoop. I have thought and thought about where and when I want to have the reunion meeting. And I have made my decision. So if you are able to make it, please e-mail me or call me asap to let me know you will make it. I need to make arrangements at the place to accomadate a certain amount of people, whatever that is. So I ask you all to let me know right away since it is next week. Thank you. Date: Sunday, July 4, 2002 Place: Elephant Bar (across from Arden mall) Time: 4pm - ?

Reactions: Needing Vacation After a Vacation By JOHN O'NEIL Americans are wearier after their vacations than before them, a Gallup poll has found. The survey found that fewer than a third of Americans took breaks lasting longer than nine days. About a third of working adults said they had to put in more hours in the office the week before their vacation, contributing to the finding that 46 percent of those surveyed felt tired before their vacation began. But 54 percent described themselves as tired on returning home, the telephone survey of 1,000 adults in May found. Dr. Roger J. Cadieux, a professor of psychiatry at Penn State who helped analyze the data, said good planning could help. If the main goal is recharging batteries, he said, "I'm not going to go to Disney World; I'm going to go to a house in the mountains, a place with a lot of books." His other suggestions: If you have insomnia, see a doctor before the trip. "Otherwise," he said, "you're just packing that insomnia with you." Avoid a blitz of work to clear your desk before you leave (or when you return). Do not put off packing until the last minute. Bring some items from your bedroom, like a pillow or a clock. Don't take work with you - or let it find you. "Some people get FedExed every day." Don't do everything in one day that you should do in two.
