I missed the Sudoku puzzle in the September Breeze…. Perhaps we can have a variety of puzzles. ---Ruth Scarson

Thanks, Ruth. Good question, but sorry, we have no control over the puzzles. This company prints magazines for a number of mobile home parks (at no cost to us). The puzzle page, the covers, and all the advertising is provided by them.

OCTOBER MESSAGE FROM RESIDENTS’CLUB PRESIDENT RICHARD STOLL

The Board had a rough start, but we are back on track. Robert Sanborn is

the new Board Member at large. He was voted in at the last Board meeting. He

helped at the September breakfast that served over 100 people.

After breakfast, residents interested stayed to recommend the events for

January to July 2019. We have old favorites, plus a couple of new ones. The list of

events is on the web-site (the-tropics.net). The Board is excited about the events

for the year: lots of dancing and entertainment.

The Tropics Mobile Home Park has a ―No Soliciting‖ Policy. Therefore, you

should have NO ONE coming to your door without an invitation. We have been

having people coming around with scams to rip-off our Residents. The BEST way

to eliminate these people is to NOT ANSWER the door, call the office, even at

night and on week-ends. The answering service will take a message. We must all

watch out for each other.

We have an exciting event this month! Richard Oyen, not a resident, but

whose mother always wanted to live in the Tropics, is honoring her with a FREE

Jazz Band on October 27. You will need a ticket at no cost. Food can be purchased

at the Snack Bar. Watch for details.

The Board is not having a Halloween Dinner this year. If you want to get

dressed up, Bingo is having a Halloween Bingo Night. If you come in costume your

first pack is free. Prizes for the top four costumes will be awarded. The Snack Bar

is featuring spooky items. Watch for the Menu!

The Board also voted to have a Holiday Flea

Market on November 3. Look for a flyer in the Breeze.

Ruth, chairperson, is hoping the Flea Market items will

be toward Christmas gifts or decorations. Have fun

with it, and re-gift to help you buy new items for

Christmas.

Until next month have a great fall and keep

coming up with your ideas for the new Board!

“To err is human, to forgive, canine.” — Unknown

MILLENNIUM MEMO

Let’s say you’ve got a large, bulky item you’d like to get rid of. What’s your next

move? Do you take advantage of the City’s FREE large/bulky item pickup service?

You get 2 of those per year, after all.

No, you decide, dialing the phone is so much work. It’s far easier to just drag your

unwanted furniture or other items out to the street and leave it there. It’s an at-

tractive adornment to your homesite and if it sits there long enough, maybe Park

Maintenance will take it away.

That must be how some residents think. Not very neighborly, not very kind to

the Park’s maintenance staff, but apparently this is becoming The Tropics’ latest

resident concern.

According to the City’s website, you can call (510) 657-3500 and schedule your

personal bulky item pickup—and you can do this FREE 2 times each year. Why not

go that route and give your hard-working staff a break. They’re busy enough al-

ready!

While we’re at it, we also ask that you please stop leaving food and water out for

our resident raccoons, skunks, rats and other pests. Notice I said ―please?‖ You’re

only attracting more vermin to our fair Community.

In Other News…

We’re very happy to announce that Nicki has returned from her Maternity

Leave and is back at her post as SPARC’s Director of Resident Services. She

and Stacee are working on several exciting projects for the Fall, so Stay

Tuned!

An Alert Reader, commenting on last month’s Memo, emailed me saying that

he can’t give The Tropics 5 stars until the Pathway Lighting is improved.

I would have hoped that having rents about $1,000 under market would

make up for a few broken lights, but we’re on it. It’s an ongoing problem, but

we spend money on the Pathway every month. This past month’s focus was

on broken wiring, for example.

Did you notice the attractive new garden your Staff created by the Green

Waste Dumpster? Not only are we hoping this adds a little beauty, but also

that this deters some of our ruder residents from leaving their garbage or

furniture there. Great idea, team!

Scary Election Thought

Union City has a big election coming up on Nov. 6. Eight candidates are running

for three Council seats, there are all sorts of propositions, we’re electing a new

Governor…

For those of you tempted to sit this one out…I was reminded recently that the

Mayor in the movie ―Jaws‖ is still the Mayor in Jaws 2. Scary, isn’t it? Does that

convince you of the importance of casting your vote?

Manager’s Corner for October 2018 Ghosts, Goblins, Black Cats – Pumpkins. Fall is here. It will be getting dark earlier so be careful when out for your walk. Some residents and guests are not complying with the 15 MPH speed limit. You would think we have a race track by the freeway wall and driving in to the Park off Almaden. Please be more cautious and don’t run over your neighbors. A big “thank you” to all the volunteers that help with Food Bank. We had guests observe the last one held to see just how it worked and they were really impressed with all the team work. Thanks again volunteers and residents - Good job. The annual physical inspection of homesites is scheduled for this month and all residents are being asked to have their landscaping free of weeds and clutter. Please advise the office if you have changed your phone number as we call to advise you regarding water and utility outages as well as miscellaneous issues. We have received some complaints that some residents are placing their trash in their neighbor’s trash and recycle cans. Please ask before doing this and they will probably say it is okay. Time to fire up the broom and check for ghosts and goblins. As always, thank you for all you do to keep our community a fun and safe place to live. Nancy Payne Resident Manager

Would you help The Breeze? Pretty please!?

Yes, thank you. So many nice people help deliver The Tropics Breeze. They give

perhaps twenty minutes of their time, just once a month, so you are able to read this,

and keep up with the many events in our Park.

But we need more of you! At the moment we are looking for a Delivery Hero living on

or near Panama or Makaha Circles to deliver on those streets. Could you help? If so,

please call your Editor, Michael, at 265-4091.

CERAMIC CLUB NEWS

There are no meetings, June, July or August. Anyone can attend and sit in on our meetings and also meet some active members of the club be-fore or after the meeting.

Anyone who is interested in our club is welcome to stop by and take a look at some of the ceramics that are finished & some are pieces we are still working on.

A Word from Your Editor The world is spinning, spinning, spinning, Spinning like a top. My head is dizzy, dizzy, dizzy. Someone make it stop! Does anyone feel as I do?! As I grow older—well, really old—I see the years not on-ly going faster, but going crazier, too: REALLY crazy! But my suspicion is that sen-iors have always felt this way, as they look at their memories, and their knick-knacks, and contemplate those Young People, with their Young Ways, taking over. They're gonna do that, though, even if we learn to use Snapchat, and grow to like Rap!

Maybe we could all benefit from a time out, a chance to take a long, slow look back, a look at the tried-and-true ways that have brought us safely through the years, and into The Tropics.

We all have our personal strengths: our families, our faith, our principles. Hold on-to these!

But I'm thinking now of our Nation, the one into which we were born, or into which, for whatever reason, we came. I can remember a day, a day before things seemed so crazy, when being Conservative signaled a desire to conserve the good things we had. And Liberal meant one was open to new ideas. Now these labels are but cudgels—the heavy sticks Robin Hood fought with—to beat our opponents on their heads!

In the spirit of looking back at the tried-and-true, I can do no better than to revisit the bedrock of our American Principles—which we met in grammar school, or per-haps in the immigration process—the First Amendment to the United States Consti-tution.

I think it well worth a look. You will find it, unedited, on another page of this Breeze.

Live well, and love!

Editor’s note, on Freedom of the Press:

When the United States Constitution took effect in 1879, it was pointed out that it

did not specifically guarantee the people’s rights. In response, the first Ten

Amendments were added. Note that ―Congress‖ is specified. That is because it is

Congress that makes laws. But it is now clearly accepted that the First Amendment’s

rights cannot be violated or limited by any part of any level of government: national,

state, county or city.

The First Amendment to our Constitution:

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING THE ESTAB-

LISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE

THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE

PRESS, OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE,

AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF

GRIEVANCES.

OCTOBER 2018 MOVIES AT THE B BUG

MOVIES EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT

DOORS OPEN AT 5PM —MOVIE STARTS AT 6:30PM

FRIDAY OCT 5Th WINCHESTER

The most haunted house in the world sits on an isolated stretch of land that's 50 miles outside of San Francisco. Built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester fortune, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To an outsider, it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman's madness. But Sarah's actually building a prison, an asylum for hun-dreds of vengeful ghosts -- and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters.

FRIDAY OCT 12Th A WRINKLE IN TIME A Wrinkle in Time is a 2018 American science fantasy adventure film directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Jennifer Lee and Jeff Stockwell, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Madeleine L'Engle.

FRIDAY OCT 19Th COCO

In Disney Pixar's vibrant tale of family, fun and adventure, an aspiring young musician named Miguel embarks on an extraordinary journey to the magical land of his ancestors. There, the charming trickster Héctor becomes an unex-pected friend who helps Miguel uncover the mysteries behind his family's sto-ries and traditions.

FRIDAY OCT 26th THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE

1944 NR Rated NR1hr 15m Wise-cracking comedian Bob Hope stars as an egotistical vaudevillian who is shanghaied by pirates, gets involved with a lovely princess (Virginia Mayo) and becomes the make-shift leader of a band of cutthroats in this hilarious send-up of swashbuckling. Hope is at his zaniest as the wackiest buccaneer of all. Walter Brennan co-stars as yet another crazy pirate in producer Samuel Goldwyn's lavish Technicolor production.

I SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISBELIEF !

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR OWNERS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND

CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR PETS? I WALK MY DOG EVERY DAY. I OFFER BAGS

TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS THEM. OWNERS STARE AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY.

WE HAVE BAG DISPENSERS WITH DISPOSAL CONTAINERS ATTACHED SCAT-

TERED ALONG THE PATHS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PARK. AND YET, I

STILL SEE POOP EVERYWHERE. THERE HAS EVEN BEEN POOP RIGHT IN

FRONT OF THE CONTAINERS.

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE !

CLEANING UP AFTER YOUR PET IS EVERY BIT A PART OF OWNING ONE. A

PET OF ANY KIND REQUIRES DAILY MAINTANENCE. CLEANING CAGES,

FEEDING THEM, PROVIDING FRESH WATER AND REGULAR VETERINARY

CARE. I AM VERY SURE YOU DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PETS TO USE YOUR

FLOORS FOR THEIR BATHROOM.

WELL, THIS IS MY HOME AND I DON'T LIKE YOU LEAVING YOUR PETS'

POOP ON ITS FLOOR.

AND FINALLY, IT IS UNSANITARY. IT DRAWS FLIES AND BREEDS DISEASE.

AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT STINKS !

SO PLEASE, CLEAN UP AFTER THEM.
