Get a Taste of California at Our Favorite Farmers' Markets
When you picture a California harvest, you may think of wine grapes, oysters, or even milk from those famous "happy California cows." But our agricultural bounty goes way beyond that. In fact, California produces nearly half of all the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the United States. And as the warm season settles in, local farmers make it easy for you to get it all in your shopping basket – and in your belly.
California leads the country in sheer number of farmers' markets, and shopping them is a fantastic way to get a real taste of the local scene – and save some money doing it. As spring rolls in and summer approaches, it's time to check out some of the best farmers' markets near our NorCal hostels. Come sample, shop, and learn from local farmers, then get ready to cook up a storm back in our hostel kitchens.
San Francisco
The market: San Francisco's one of the country's greenest big cities, so it's no surprise that there's a farmers' market taking place nearly every day here. One of the city's largest has been operating for over 30 years in San Francisco's UN Plaza, just a few minutes' walk from HI-SF City Center. The Heart of the City Farmers' Market is open on Wednesdays and Sundays year round, with a bonus day on Fridays from May through November. This is the place to scoop up locally harvested honey, California walnuts and almonds, Spring Hill cheeses, and all things green and leafy, sweet and succulent (check out the market's full map to see who's selling what).
On Wednesday afternoons, half a dozen local food trucks show up to sweeten the deal, slinging everything from Belgian waffles, to fired-on-site pizzas, to vegan gumbo, for hungry lunchtime crowds.
What's in season now: Kiwifruit, asparagus, artichokes, cauliflower, beets, chard, kale, apples, and even early strawberries and blackberries grown in the shelter of local greenhouses.
Make this: Don't miss the handful of stalls specializing in Asian vegetables and herbs at Heart of the City. This farmers' market borders Little Saigon, a neighborhood known for its Vietnamese food and shops. Keep an eye out for vendors on the Plaza selling stalks of lemongrass and sugarcane, bunches of Thai basil, bundles of baby bok choy, and bouquets of fresh cilantro, then augment your haul at nearby bodegas hawking Asian hot sauces, noodles, candies, and more. Back at the hostel, try making an easy phở soup or vegetable pad Thai.
If you go: Stay at HI-SF City Center, just blocks from UN Plaza.
Wednesdays 7:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and Sundays 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., year round. Fridays, May – November (hours vary).
The market: You couldn't ask for a more scenic backdrop than San Francisco's century-old Ferry Building, where the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA) holds its hugely popular farmers' markets. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, this is the place to shop for organic fruit and veg, plus flowers, artisan cheeses, locally baked bread, and sustainably raised meats.
What's in season now: Asparagus, radicchio, avocados, dandelion greens, oranges, tangerines, and endless varieties of root vegetables. CUESA places a special emphasis on eating not just locally, but seasonally; check out their website for an exhaustive list of what's at its peak at any given time.
Make this: Sandwiches on Acme bread, filled with Cowgirl Creamery cheese, Dirty Girl Produce organic greens, and meats from Marin Sun Farms (or tofu from Hodo Soy Beanery). If you really want to flex your cooking muscles, recruit a few new friends to pitch in on a more elaborate seasonal recipe: CUESA has shopping lists and recipes for springy favorites like vegetable risotto and beer-steamed mussels posted on its website to get you inspired – and hungry! Don't feel like cooking at all? You can still indulge with lunch at a handful of food stalls serving up noodles, sandwiches, and more right alongside the market.
If you go: Stay at HI-SF Downtown. Catch the bus or BART train a few blocks from the hostel at Powell Street, and ride down Market Street to Embarcadero Station.
Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., Saturdays 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., year round.
Point Reyes Station
The market: The tiny town of Point Reyes Station is a little slice of civilization near the secluded Point Reyes National Seashore. The little village boasts one main street lined with charming shops, restaurants, and art galleries, but as the weather warms up, it's got one more huge draw: the only all-local, all-organic farmers' market in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Point Reyes Farmers' Market is held in front of country store Toby's Feed Barn every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., starting in late June and running through the summer. Organizers round out the shopping experience each week with plenty of entertainment, like live music, cooking demonstrations, and book signings by chef-authors. Even Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall got a kick out of the market when they visited back in 2005!
What's in season: Once this year's market season kicks off in June, expect fresh berries, summer squash, just-picked salad greens, and prepared foods including locally made jams and cheeses.
Make this: Market strawberries with Cowgirl Creamery crème fraiche from nearby Tomales Bay Foods; spinach salad with Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company blue cheese (buy it inside at Toby's). Make it a meal by picking up some locally farmed oysters and throwing them on the barbecue back at the hostel!
If you go: Stay at HI-Point Reyes, the only accommodation inside the Point Reyes National Seashore. Though the national park feels luxuriously secluded, it's just a short drive from the town of Point Reyes Station.
Saturdays starting late June and running through the end of summer, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
The market: Sacramento has recently been dubbed "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital," and for good reason: the region surrounding California's capital city is home to well over a million acres of farm land, and offers visitors and locals no fewer than 50 farmers' markets to choose from. While you can find a farmers' market just about any day of the year somewhere in Sacramento, the high season for local eats starts in May and runs through the early autumn. On Wednesdays in spring and summertime, stock up on fresh local produce just two blocks from HI-Sacramento down at Cesar Chavez Plaza. Walk a bit further and you'll have your choice of several other farmers' markets on the Capitol Mall and State Capitol Park.
What's in season now: Asparagus, leeks, snow peas, garlic, carrots… and don't miss out on Sacramento's famous tomatoes once summer rolls around!
Make this: Check out the California Certified Farmers' Market website for all kinds of seasonal inspiration, including cream of asparagus soup and fava beans with fresh garlic.
If you go: Stay at HI-Sacramento, housed in a beautiful Victorian mansion in the heart of the city.
Thursdays -- 10:00-1:00 p.m. at Cesar Chavez Plaza (May – October), 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at 6th Street and Capitol Mal. (May-September), 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at 15th and L Streets (May – September).
Staying at another one of our Northern California hostels? Near HI-Point Montara, stop by one of the Coastside Farmers' Markets in Pacifica (Wednesdays 2:30 p.m. -6:30 p.m.) or Half Moon Bay (Saturdays 9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m.), both open from May through December. In the little town of Pescadero, about 10 minutes from HI-Pigeon Point, the Pescadero Grown! farmers' market will set up shop at 251 Stage Road this year from June 5 - October 30 (Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.) And just a few miles by car or bike from HI-Marin Headlands, a year-round farmers' market draws shoppers to Sausalito's Dunphy Park (Sundays, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.).
Wherever your tour of Northern California takes you, we hope you'll take the time to give it a true foodie twist with a visit to some of our local farmers' markets!
Hungry for more? We've got plenty of ideas to make your California experience more delicious. Check out HI-Sacramento General Manager Marc Johnson's favorite local restaurants, satisfy your sweet tooth with our introduction to San Francisco's best artisan candies, get spicy with some Vietnamese food in SF's Little Saigon, or splurge on a weekend of oysters and bubbly in Point Reyes.
Stay at one of our three San Francisco hostels, or at HI-Sacramento or HI-Point Reyes.

SAN BRUNO, Calif., Jan 17, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- An attempt by Pacific Gas & Electric Company to broker what appears to be a secret deal with a California Public Utilities Commission staffer should result in significant penalties and fines for the utility company and the creation of an independent monitor to ensure transparency and accountability of the CPUC, San Bruno demanded in a legal filing with the CPUC today.
The apparent backroom deal, revealed in a San Francisco Chronicle news report, detailed how PG&E hoped to quietly pay a $375,000 fine to avoid paying a proposed $2.5 billion in penalties and fines for the 2010 San Bruno explosion and fire that killed eight, injured 66, destroyed 38 homes and left a giant hole in the center of the city.
In a legal motion filed with the CPUC on Friday, San Bruno officials demanded that PG&E face a significant fine for violating CPUC rules when, in December, it paid a $375,000 fine imposed by the CPUC's safety enforcement division – and then quietly asked that the fine count against the multi-billion-dollar penalty it faces for violations stemming from the San Bruno pipeline disaster.
It was revealed that no parties involved in the more than three-year San Bruno penalty proceeding were made aware of PG&E's secret payment. Instead, the CPUC withdrew the fine and refunded the $375,000 payment amid concerns that PG&E had attempted to broker a backroom deal that could have triggered a form of regulatory double jeopardy, preventing the CPUC's administrative law judges from levying a sufficient future penalty.
"Instead of being transparent and forthcoming, PG&E appears to have consciously elected to conceal an ill-fated attempt to quietly settle for the fatal and tragic pipeline disaster in San Bruno," said San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane. "We believe PG&E should be fined and reprimanded for trying to undermine the ongoing penalty investigation and possibly jeopardizing more than three years of work to ensure that what happened in San Bruno never happens again, anywhere."
"This attempt to circumvent the legal and public process also raises troubling questions about the CPUC safety division and its staffer who attempted to conceal this backroom deal," representatives for the city added. "This action is just the latest attempt by the PG&E and some members of the CPUC safety division to hide from public view the unholy alliance and power PG&E has with our State's regulatory agency. That is why San Bruno demands an independent monitor to ensure the CPUC is operating properly and transparently."
The $375,000 fine was originally levied in December by the CPUC's safety enforcement division in response to a 2012 audit, which concluded that for more than four decades PG&E lacked the proper procedures to monitor its gas-transmission pipelines.
Because the infraction related directly to the ongoing San Bruno-related penalty proceeding, it should have been handled as part of that process. Instead, it was handled and paid separately, without notification to any parties and in violation of CPUC's own procedures.
San Bruno officials say they suspect that a backroom deal, involving illegal ex-parte communications between PG&E and the CPUC, played a role in this mishap. Attorneys for San Bruno have filed a public records request to determine whether PG&E officials spoke directly with CPUC leadership to arrange for the fine that PG&E paid – and later tried using to reduce their overall penalty.
In December, the CPUC fined PG&E $14 million for failing to disclose faulty pipeline records in San Carlos to both the CPUC, the public and the City of San Carlos for nearly a year, creating a possibly dangerous public safety issue that one of its own engineers likened to possibly "another San Bruno situation" in an internal email to PG&E executives.
San Bruno officials say this latest attempt to undercut its obligation to the public further underscores the need for an Independent Pipeline Safety Monitor to serve as a vigilant third-party watchdog over both PG&E and its regulator, the CPUC.
"The Commission lacks the resources to effectively comprehend and oversee PG&E's compliance," said the city's filing. "An Independent Monitor would partner with and provide additional resources to the Commission in order to have more robust regulatory oversight necessary to protect the safety of the public."

BRISTOL, Tenn. - The King College baseball squad was upended twice at home by the defending NCCAA Division I World Series Champion North Greenville (S.C.) University 4-0 and 6-2 Friday.
North Greenville loaded the bases in the third of game one and pushed in three runs. The first score was John Reinholz when Derek Fulmer's chopper was misplayed by C.J. Stabler (Kingsport, Tenn.) at third. A RBI single followed by David Frazier and Tyler Callicutt provided a sacrifice fly for the third Crusader score.
The visitors got runners to second and third in the seventh, but Cory Rhodes (Kissimmee, Fla.) was able to work out of the jam with a groundout.
The Crusaders struck again when Andrew Lawrence laid down a squeeze bunt in the eighth and Fulmer scored. Fulmer led the inning off with a double.
Rhodes went all nine innings for his third complete game of the season with four runs scored against him, two were earned. Nine hits were allowed with a pair of strike outs and he walked three.
Stabler extended his hitting streak to a season-best six games thanks to a 3-for-4 effort which included a double. The three hits are a season best for the senior in his ninth multi-hit effort of 2011.
Shane Timberlake (Lynchburg, Va.) and Tyler Gaby (Bristol, Tenn.) had King's other two hits.
North Greenville's Drew Provence tossed seven innings of shut out baseball. He struck out seven and King had four hits. Nate Richards threw the final two innings for the Crusaders.
The scoreless game was the first time King had been shut out since April 18, 2009, against Montreat (N.C.) College, a 2-0 score. In between shut outs King played 87 games.
King struck in the first inning of game two when Heath Williams (Bristol, Va.) came home on a wild pitch on ball four to Josh Huffman (Lynchburg, Va.). Fulmer walked four straight batters in the opening frame after a strike out started the contest. Stabler scored on Garrett Cook's (Luray, Va.) groundout to second.
North Greenville took the lead in the fourth thanks to six runs. The Crusaders used four hits, a double, a fielder's choice on a squeeze play, a sacrifice fly and hit batter. In all 10 batters appeared at the plate in the frame.
Cook would be the only Tornado with a hit in game two with his single up the middle with an out in the seventh inning.
Alex Martin (Kingston, Tenn.) lasted four innings as North Greenville scored six runs, two earned, on eight hits. He struck out three, walked one and hit another batter.
Fulmer went the first six innings on the mound for North Greenville without a hit allowed. He struck out eight with five walks and the two runs. Brian Giles came in to record the final three outs after he had two of the Crusaders' nine hits.
Frazier and Callicutt each had two hits. Adam Taylor had two RBIs with a double in the Crusaders' big fourth inning.
King, now at 20-16, and North Greenville will close out the three-game series Saturday at 2 p.m.

Priests for Life
Father Pavone's New Series Exposes the Abortion Industry! A Major Television Event: Fr. Frank Pavone's New Defending Life Series on the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN)...13 Powerful and Provocative Shows Sure to Hearten Pro-Lifers and Cause an Uproar in the Pro-Abortion Community. This exciting new series will inspire and encourage weary pro-lifers whose confidence needs a boost. Fr. Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, tells the good news you haven't been hearing in the media: The "Pro-Choice" Movement is collapsing! After 25 years of struggling, the tide is finally turning and we are winning! How can this be? Watch in horror as Fr. Pavone speaks to Lorraine LaNeve, who worked in the abortion industry for five years, helping to set up abortion facilities, lobbying, and assisting in the procedure itself. In this bone-chilling interview, Lorraine describes how she saw live children killed and hundreds of women shamelessly degraded. Find out what the abortion industry didn't tell her about the years of grief and mental suffering she would endure as a result of the terrifying things she has witnessed. In another powerful interview, Fr. Pavone speaks with Deborah Cardamone, whose daughter was killed during a so-called "safe and legal" abortion, and Kay Stile, whose daughter ended up in a persistent vegetative state for life when she underwent the "procedure." As Fr. Pavone reveals, these cases, tragically, are all too common in the abortion industry. They help to explain why former allies of the Pro-abortion camp are coming over to our side by the thousands. But Fr. Pavone does much more than simply explain why the tide is turning in the abortion battle. He gives practical steps we can all take to hasten abortion's final collapse. In a ground-breaking interview with Mark Crutcher, founder and president of "Life Dynamics," Fr. Frank discusses new tactics which can be used to LEGALLY shut down abortion mills and put abortionists behind bars. Discover the two most frightening words to those who perform abortions: MALPRACTICE LITIGATION. In Fr. Pavone's touching program on Abortion and Young People, find out what young people who were born AFTER 1973's Roe vs. Wade court decision have to say about a society that did not consider them "persons" while they were growing within their mothers' wombs--- the most dangerous place in the United States. Be encouraged that the youth of today are rising up with a strong and vibrant voice for Life! And in Fr. Pavone's interview with Kathy McConn, founder of the exciting new pro-life effort, "The Gabriel Project," see how local parishes are responding "on the spot" to the concrete needs of women in the community who are pregnant and considering abortion. Find out how you can get this dynamic, life-saving project started in your own Church. Yes, 13 brand new shows featuring 22 incredible guests! Fr. Frank Pavone's 1999 edition of DEFENDING LIFE --- a powerful new television series that covers the entire spectrum of the pro-life movement today. Tell your friends and family about it, tell your local newspaper and pro-life organization, ask your local Church to include the schedule of shows in the parish bulletin. Spread the word about Fr. Pavone's new series--- IT WILL SAVE LIVES. Information about the Defending Life Series is found on the Priests for Life website at www.priestsforlife.org/defendinglife SHOW SCHEDULE: Beginning March 1st, tune in every Monday, 4:30 AM, Tuesday, 4:30 PM, and Saturday 11:00 PM (All times Eastern).

It has the same signifying active-prone design. Needless to say this design choice was both imminent and necessary to provide for a rugged experience. However, due to its less liked design, Samsung has come up with newer colors (a titanium gray and a sandy gold) for its device to make it more appealing. Though some may consider it to be a bit bulky,this device sure is a marvel of engineering. The back has been craft smooth with a matte finish. You won't see any apparent screws that protruded out of the last year's S6 active's back. The front glass panel is a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 that has been topped off with another protective layer. There are no capacitive buttons and all buttons are physical. The hardware home key that now comes with fingerprint scanner incorporated in this device does not follow the same rugged pattern as its neighboring back and recents key. The side panel is rubberized to help protect against drops. There is also a programmable hardware key that you can set to launch apps of your liking upon a specific pattern of button strokes (like long press, single press and double press).
All of this adds up to give a handsome look if you take us for our word.
The front panel is a Corning Gorilla Glass 4. This phone is IP68 certified which means it can survive under 5 feet of water for over 30 minutes. This phone has MIL-STD-810G shock resistance thanks to its rugged casing but this doesn't stop here. It has protection against salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation and heat as well.
There's not much improvement over S7 in this aspect. It has the same Super-AMOLED screen of S7. The pixel density is the same 577 PPI. The screen spans an acceptable 5.1 inch and supports multi-touch. The display comes with the same always on technology as that of S7.
The S7's screen is the best there is that is currently available in the smartphone market. The S7 active rocks the same screen but with an additional added layer. This layer though adds protection but does not reduce the vividness of the display which is praiseworthy.
The RAM on this device is a magnanimous 4GB. This should prove more than sufficient for moderate as well as heavy users. The s7 active comes as 2 variants: a 32GB and a 64GB variant and both have option for additional expandable storage up to 256GBs.
Naturally one shouldn't expect much in this area from a rugged device but the S7 active remains at competition with smartphone flagships in this regard by rocking a whopping number of sensors. It comes with a fingerprint sensor like we mentioned earlier, which is a new addition to active devices. Other sensors include an accelerometer, a gyro, a proximity, a compass, a barometer, a heart rate and an SpO2 sensor.
This phone comes with android 6.0 marshmallow topped with newest Touchwiz skin. The newer Touchwiz skin comes with the ability to disable app launcher at will and has other commendable features like ultra-battery saving mode where you can access only a handful of necessary cell phone features.
Moreover the programmable hardware key lets you launch any app of your liking quickly. By default it is set for an app that brings forth compass, weather, humidity and other valuable information that may come in handy when you're outside. This is an extra utility app that comes in package with the S7 active that you don't get to see in the S7.
This phone also supports Samsung Pay unlike the previous S6 active because of the added fingerprint scanner.
Thanks to these software add-ons die hard Google fans are switching to the newer Touchwiz UI. It is high time you do too!
It comes with Wifi Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot and a Bluetooth version 4.2. This phone does not support dual sim, nor does it boast a dual sim variant.
The S7 was most hailed all over the world for its extraordinary camera. Thankfully, Samsung has decided to keep it in its active sibling. The back cam is a 12 MP f1.7 aperture 26mm lens shooter that is brilliant in autofocus. It has all the other necessary features of S7 as well like face detection, autofocus, OIS etc.
The chipset is an 820 from Qualcomm. Accompanying this there are 4 Kryo cores, 2 of them clocked at 2.15GHz and another at 1.6GHz. Also accompanying this package is an Adreno 530 Graphics Processing Unit. Needless to say they all add up to give a lag free experience.
The S7 active rocks a whopping 4000mah battery that is ridiculously large for any smartphone. With normal usage you may get 2 days straight out of it. Even with heavy usage, you may get well over a day and a half before feeling the need to recharge again. Fast charging is also supported by this device and you can charge it fast and wirelessly thanks to the NFC chip.
Final Verdict:
With a price-tag of 900USD, we feel that all the extra money goes to the added protection. That means you are easing a 100 additional bucks for this device when you could get yourself a regular S7 and strap an expensive protective case over it. Also keeping in mind the fact that the S7 itself is waterproof and comes with the same Corning Gorilla Glass 4 as this device, we fail to see where the extra money goes. So although this device stands out from the rest due to its durability and performance, it really is just a regular S7 with added padding to help protect against drops.
This is why we'd advice our viewer's to steer clear ofthis device and check out the S7 instead.

John Wesley Johnston, son of Irvin and Christina (Nelson) Johnston, was an older brother to my ancestor, Howard Johnston. Researching the Johnston, Greenawalt, and Rudy lines in Huntingdon Co, Pennsylvania, I found this article on Newspaper Archive: The Daily News, Huntingdon, PA, page 2 - Monday, June 17, 1957's Looking Back section:
|50 Years Ago
"J. Wesley Johnston, formerly of Huntingdon County but for twenty years a resident of Minneapolis, was found dead May 16, in the bottom of the freight elevator shaft in the Andrus building, of which he was superintendent. He had evidently gone to make repairs. He lived in Huntingdon from birth to the time he was 27 years of age when he went to war with Company H, 184th Pennsylvania Volunteers from Wells Tannery."
Which led to finding the following articles . . .
|The Minneapolis Tribune
May 17, 1907
Page 6
Son Makes Discovery on Investigating Search.
Death is a Mystery and the Coroner is working on the case.
Searching for his father, who had not returned home, E. T. Johnston, janitor of the Westminister Presbyterian church, last evening, found the body of J. Wesley Johnston, superintendent of the building, lying cold in death, two feet below the freight elevator of the Andrus building. The death of Mr. Johnston is one of the most mysterious with which Coroner Kistler has had to deal.
After the examination of the body, Coroner Kistler found no bad bruises or anything which would indicate how Mr. Johnston met his death. The elevator was at least a foot from the body, so, apparently, it had not been the cause of death.
It had been Mr. Johnston's daily habit to reach home as soon after 6 o'clock as possible. But last night he did not arrive at his usual hour. Mrs. Johnston became worried, and telephoned to her son, asking him to go to the Andrus building and inquire as to his father's whereabouts.
How long Mr. Johnston had been dead before being discovered, no one knows. It was his custom, as superintendent of the building, to run the freight elevator, and he may have been dead since early morning.
Mr. Johnson resided with his wife at 3240 Lyndale avenue south, and leaves three sons, E.T., E.J., and Howard Johnston, all of whom live in this city.
"Mr. Johnston was one of the most methodical men I have ever known," said S. S. Thorpe, who has charge of the Andrus building. "He has been with us for the past four years and was well liked by everyone who knew him. He was a man about 60 years of age and was for ten years janitor of Westminister Presbyterian church, with which his son is now connected."
Followed by the article on May 19, 1907's issue of the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune, p.6:
|J. W. Johnston, who was accidentally killed
in the elevator shaft of the Andrus building.
Demise of Elevator Victim Explained
Must Have Fallen from Seventh Floor
Foul Play Theory Disproved - Last Seen By an Employe. [sic]
It has been definitely decided by relatives of the late J. Wesley Johnston, who was found dead at the bottom of the freight elevator shaft of the Andrus building last Thursday night, that contrary to the first reports, Mr. Johnston did not meet his death as the result of foul play, but that it was accidental.
Those who have been looking into the facts of the case have come to the conclusion that Mr. Johnston either came to his untimely death while he was in the act of reaching for the elevator cable or else that he walked into the open shaft supposing that the elevator was in the same place where he left it a few moments before. It had also been definitely established that he fell from the seventh floor.
The most mysterious thing in connection with the accident, and one which for a time lead the relatives and authorities to believe that there had been some foul play, was the fact that Mr. Johnston's pocketbook, which was known to have contained $45 and his bunch of keys, which he always carried in one of his trousers' pockets, were found to be missing.
No one has been able to account for the mysterious disappearance of these articles.
The accident in all probability occurred in the neighborhood of 6:30 o'clock, as the watch which Mr. Johnston carried and which was broken to pieces was found and it had stopped at about that time. The last person who saw him alive was a woman who was at work on the seventh floor about 6:05 and talked with him at that time. It was about ten minutes later that the accident happened.
E. P. Johnston, a son, who is sexton at Westminister church, started in search for his father after receiving a telephone message from Mrs. Johnston at 9 p.m. saying that her husband had not returned home.
The elevator shaft, which is in the rear of the building, and which has always been looked upon as a dangerous place by the son, was the first place examined, and it was here that the dead body of the unfortunate man was discovered.
The coroner was immediately notified and after viewing the body it was removed to the morgue and later to the home.
The fact that the morgue keeper and the coroner both examined the body and say that there was not a cent of money and but one bunch of keys among the belongings makes the case a more mysterious one.
Two facts which show that the death was purely accidental are the badly torn glove on one of the hands, indicative of the fact that Mr. Johnston had made a vain attempt to cling to one of the cables or the electric wires, and also that the wires were found in the bottom of the shaft, completely torn from the fixtures, and wrapped about his hands.
Mr. Johnston is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary E. Johnston, three sons, E.P., J.E., and W.H., and one daughter, Mrs. Ida M. Rolfe, of Chicago, who arrived in the city Saturday.
One brother, W. A. Johnston, of Streetor, Ill., and a sister, Mrs. Mollie Baumgardner, Wells Lammery, Pa., also survive.
He was a member of Company H, 184th Pennsylvania Volunteers, of the First Brigade, Second division, Second Army Corps, and was a member of Well's Tannery post, G. A. R., at Fulton county, Pa. He was nearly 62 years old.
The funeral will be held from the residence, 3240 Lyndale avenue south, on Monday at 2:30 p. m. Rev. Dr. J.E. Bushnell will preside at the services. The interment will be at Lakewood.

J. W. Johnston, Victim of Elevator Accident, Is Buried - Beautiful Floral Tributes Cover Casket.
Fully two score friends of the Johnston family gathered at the residence, 3240 Lyndale avenue south, Monday afternoon to pay the last tribute to J.W. Johnston, who met his death last Thursday night at the bottom of the elevator shaft in the Andrus building.
The funeral services began at 2:30 o'clock and were solemn and impressive in their character, the sermon being preached by Rev. J. E. Bushnell of Westminister church.
Dr. Bushnell paid glowing tributes to the sturdy character of Mr. Johnston, which had so endeared him to all who knew him, and told of his ever faithful service in whatever occupation he was engaged. A short review of his life was given, and from the time of his early conversion back in Pennsylvania, down to the hour when he met his death he was shown to have been honest, upright, and thoroughly honored and respected by all who came in contact with him. In closing Dr. Bushnell paid glowing tributes to his parishioner, telling of his connection with Westminister church and of his loyal and steadfast support of all religious work.
During the services O. P. Hand sang two baritone solos, "Face to Face," by Herbert Johnson, and "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by P. S. Ambrose, accompanied by Miss Condon. Floral offerings completely covered the casket, and lay at the foot of the casket supports. One exceptionally elaborate one was a pillow, bearing the word "Father," formed of roses.
The pall bearers were L.K. Thompson, Nathaniel McCarthy, J.M. Martin, J.R. Lewis, J.S. Porteus, and S.S. Thorpe.
Mr. Johnston is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary E. Johnston, three sons, E.P., J.E., and W.H., and one daughter, Mrs. Ida M. Rolfe, of Chicago. A brother, W.A. Johnston, of Streator, Ill., and a sister, Mrs. Molly Baumgardner of Wells Lammery, Pa., also survive.
Short and impressive services were held at Lakewood cemetery where the body was interred.
|Andrus Building Post Card
Minneapolis, Minn.
circa 1910
The Andrus Building was, and is, a stolid resident of the corner of Nicollet and Fifth. By the time it was built in 1898, the retail and office core had moved from Washington Avenue up the street, and this was prime real estate. It has the feel of a Class-A pricey office block, even though the exterior decoration was done entirely in brick. No fancy terracotta for these lads; sturdy honest brick was sufficient.
The airy lower floors almost makes the building look as if it floats, no?
Andrus (Renaissance Square), 511 Nicollet. Built 1898. Architects: Long & Long

Manchester City assistant Angelo Gregucci has stated that the Premier League champions want to bring Edinson Cavani to the club.
The Napoli striker has become one of the hottest talents in European football in recent years, and according to the defensive coach, Roberto Mancini is keen on bolstering his side by adding the Uruguayan hitman to his squad.
"I don't know if the club will lay siege to Napoli for Cavani, but every club with a player of the highest level will know they'll be courted by bigger clubs," Gregucci told Radio CRC.
"Mancini decides the transfer targets along with the new directors. If you ask the clubs who can afford Cavani, for example Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, then I think they'd want Cavani just as Manchester City want him.
"However, what the player wants is the predominant factor in negotiations and it seems to me that Cavani is happy at Napoli."
Gregucci also praised striker Mario Balotelli, who was involved in a well publicised training ground bust-up with Mancini.
Despite the incident, Gregucci says the 22-year-old is "a treasure", and stated that he is one of the top 10 strikers in the world.
He added: "Mario has huge potential and is a treasure for our football. As for the recent events, I'd prefer not to talk about them so as not to make too much of it.
"Seeing him train, though, I think Mario should be included in the world's top 10 strikers."

Note to Johnny0:
I too am a fan of lite, lean-n-mean, apps. and despise bloated, clunky programs. FoxIt is the best, I happily sliced-n-diced Adobe and sent it on its way to "crap program hell".
Check out OpenOffice.org by Sun, if you're a Microsoft Suite user. OpenOffice is very lite, streamlined and incredibly efficient. I used MS Suites daily for 8 years and know the progy in-n-out. Once I used OpenOffice and saw it did everything and more, and better than MS Suite, MS Suite went the way of Adobe.
Real Alternative 1.40 indeed seems to work on x64 1433. Got video, got sound. at least on primary display.
One bug it seems, is that I'm running a nvidia 6600 dual display, and it only works on the primary display.
If i drag the real window over to the secondary display, its goes black and video time still going.
stopping and starting video does not resolve it. so looks like i have to play videos on the primary display only.
I did manage to find a freeware 'hack' called RealMedia Splitter 220.127.116.11: http://tinyurl.com/b33d6
RealMedia Splitter allows you to play RealNetworks audio/video files using Windows Media Player.
You will need to install Real Alternative [recommended] first.
Installation instructions: http://tinyurl.com/d7aas
1. Unarchive the package and use the files from Release Unicode if you're running Windows 2000/XP.
2. Copy RealMediaSplitter.AX file in system32 folder [ C:WINDOWSsystem32 ]
3. Then launch command prompt [ START > Run > Type: cmd ]
3a. Changed Directory to c:windowssystem32
• To install the files, type: regsvr32 RealMediaSplitter.ax
• To uninstall the files, use: regsvr32 -u RealMediaSplitter.ax
4. In the end, you should receive a message saying that your file was succesfully installed/uninstalled.
When I play a .rm video file in WMP10, it plays in both my primary and secondary displays, it blanks out for a second when i drag the WMP window back and forth, but it works, unlike Real Alternative 1.40.
This should also satisfy the 'anti' RealPlayer folks (although they would still need to install Real Alternative first).

Kings' Shops welcomes The Three Fat Pigs, a restaurant and gastropub by Chef Ippy to its lineup of celebrity chef restaurants.
"This will be Hawaii Island's first gastropub. We are very excited that Chef Ippy decided to make Kings' Shops the home of his first full service restaurant," says Steven Schwartz, general manager of Kings' Shops. The restaurant will open mid-March and promises patrons plenty of delicious fine dining options such as duck confit potpies and whisky-battered lobster fish and chips as well as a charcuterie bar offering delicious cured meats, cheeses and homemade jams. In the bar, above the restaurant, there will be a wide variety of craft beers on tap from around the world.
The new restaurant also brings a new look to the center. A front lanai was built for outdoor café-style seating in addition permanent windscreens were added to lakeside lanai for comfortable dining and protection from the Waikoloa winds.

Hot and Sour Thai Soup Recipe
01.13.12 by Jackie
Tom Yum Thai soup has a unique taste. It's both spicy and sour and loaded with amazing flavors such as lemongrass, galangal, fresh kaffir limes leaves and coconut milk. For this version, I combined fresh water chestnuts, sugar snap peas, tamarind, red chili powder, baby squid and mackerel. You could also add shrimp or chicken. And of course, the soup is easy to make vegetarian as well.
The warmth of the broth is very soothing. I usually serve this seafood soup with a bowl of steamed jasmine rice on the side, which makes a complete meal while still being pretty healthy (you could also omit the coconut milk if you're health conscious). Give this recipe a try; I promise you won't be disappointed!

Despite the 3-2 loss Friday night, lefthander Brett Oberholtzer has to be considered one of the Astros' most positive surprises of the 2013 season.
Since being inserted into the starting rotation, he has had a 2.24 ERA and didn't give up more than two earned runs in seven of his 10 starts.
"He's done a tremendous job with the opportunity that was presented to him," manager Bo Porter said of Oberholtzer. "He's put himself in a good position moving forward going into next year with a good opportunity to be in this rotation."
Oberholtzer (4-5) gave up five hits and three runs (two earned) with one walk and four strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings for the loss.
"He kind of ran right to the end of his tank," Porter said of Oberholtzer. "He was a little bit gassed there. The three-run inning obviously we actually could have kept it first and second and had a chance to get a double play to get out of it, but we made a costly error that allowed the base runners to move up base. And they ended up getting the big hit to get the three runs there."
Oberholtzer threw 71 2/3 innings over 13 appearances (10 starts) in the majors. He also threw 80 1/3 at Class AAA Oklahoma City.
"My strength and fastball, everything is diminishing early, just a sign of a little fatigue, body fatigue," he said. "But this is something I know that I can have control over next season and continue to pitch, because hopefully this team and myself we can continue to play ball into October. …
"In the fourth, I was missing some spots, arm dragging a little bit. My tempo and mechanics weren't up to par."

Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero's 2010 gubernatorial bid officially ended Tuesday night, but those who've followed Bernero's political career say it's unlikely that his political career has suffered any long-term damage, let alone ended.
"Past is prologue," as Bernero likes to say. And if that's the case with Bernero, he'll be back in the political arena soon, even though he ended up losing 59 percent to 39 percent to Republican Rick Snyder, with 76 percent of the vote counted.
In both of Bernero's prior losses in Ingham County, Bernero learned from his losses, came back and was victorious, observers say.
"Rick Snyder is a noun. Virg is an active verb. Virg verges," said Ingham County Commissioner Mark Grebner. "If you put him down in one place and you leave, you can be assured he won't be there when you come back. He'll be somewhere else."
In 1994, Bernero, a Democrat, lost his Ingham County Board of Commissioners' seat to Bob Johnson, whose claim to fame in Democratic circles was being the cameraman for local paleoconservative/local access TV personality John Mangopoulos, Grebner said.
Bernero worked his south Lansing district harder in 1996 and was victorious.
Kelly Rossman-McKinney of the Rossman Group PR firm remembers how gracious Bernero was when he lost his first Lansing mayoral bid in 2003 by 258 votes to then-mayor Tony Benavides. Considering the tenor of the campaign going in, the contrast in his concession was surprising.
"Virg has an awful lot of opportunities," Rossman-McKinney said. "And the Virg I know is no quitter. He doesn't give up. He regroups. I would hate to see him hang his head in shame in anyway."
But "the proof of the pudding is in the tasting," as Bernero also likes to say. What are his options? If he's going to have a political future, he'll need posts to grow into or jump to.
Rossman-McKinney said Bernero should continue to build on his successes in Lansing and continue to be a strong Democratic voice on national and state issues. He would be unwise not to continue to build on his name recognition.
All things considered, she said Bernero gave it "real strong shot." Considering the Republicans' successes at the polls, Bernero ran a better race than many expected, Rossman-McKinney said.
That said, she also thinks he's going to need to spend some time in the next year repairing some bridges with some in Lansing who feel burned that he jumped from his mayoral re-election to the gubernatorial race in a matter of weeks. Also, he needs to "mind his knitting" with the Lansing City Council, she said.
One of Bernero's biggest accomplishments as Lansing mayor is his ability to "roll out the red carpet instead of the red tape" for businesses.
Republican strategist John Truscott said a lot of people are looking forward to having the attention of Bernero back on being the mayor of Lansing because he has done a good job. He has set an accommodating pro-growth tone for the city that developers and people in business like.
Truscott has been working with developer Pat Gillespie on the downtown Market Place project that Gillespie has been forced to go to court over because of an impasse with the City Council. But beyond that project, Truscott said he's getting the sense that Bernero's full-time presence as an aggressive and active mayor has been missed these last 10 months.
"The tone that has been set by the Lansing City Council has not been a good one," Truscott said, presumably referring to the Council's 4-4 vote that temporarily derailed the $23 million Market Place project downtown. "There are people who are shying away from coming here. Virg can turn that around by being engaged again."
As far as his future in politics, Truscott said the loss, even one as lopsided as this one, will sting for about six months. But the good thing about politics is "people have very short memories." Also, Bernero has to realize that even if he had done everything right 100 percent, he wasn't going to win this race in this year.
"On his resume he will always have that he was the Democratic nominee for governor. He got into the game. That will be there to his credit, Truscott said.
So what's next? Could his dreams of making Detroit "the hub of the wheel and not the hole in the donut" come to reality in four, maybe eight years with another run for governor?
There's not a lot of consensus here. Bill Ballenger of Inside Michigan Politics said he doesn't believe Bernero will have a better opportunity to be the state's chief executive than he did this year.
"When you lose and lose this decisively, I don't think your party gives you another bite of the apple. He will have a hard time getting the nomination for governor again or the nomination for the U.S. Senate," Ballenger said.
Congress is a possibility down the road, but that, too, is a "crap shoot." He said. There are so many variables in place. What happens with reapportionment? What district will Lansing be in? What will the base numbers look like? Will a Democrat have a realistic opportunity to win or will the district already be drawn with a Democratic incumbent?
One thing is for sure.
"Virg Bernero will not be content with being mayor for life," Ballenger said. "He wasn't content with being mayor for five years."
Grebner sees it a little differently in that Bernero at 46 is still, as far as politicians go, a young guy. He can go to law school, if he likes. He could be a judge down the road. He could seek a countywide elected office.
There's Congress, for sure, but Grebner doesn't rule out Bernero making another stab at the governor's seat.
"I don't think you should worry about Virg. He's going to move faster than you think," Grebner said. "Virg will take care of himself. In fact, he probably already has got a plan."

Reactions to Apple's yesterday win are in. Tim Cook: "The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. [...] We applaud the court for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right." Samsung: "Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies."

Mark, I don't think you've had a look at that many vendors, right? Mostly a single vendor? I recently updated hundreds of SuperMicro nodes, because the existing BIOS had a bug where a node with 64 gbytes of ram wouldn't boot. We were upgrading memory to 64g. Our reseller has some magic tools that let them generate a bios-flashing boot disk with a non-standard default setting. But this tool does not allow AHCI to be turned on. I had to manually manipulate every single node after flashing. My crash cart came in quite handy. On another note, dmidecode running against SuperMicro's Phoenix BIOS correctly indicates whether ECC is turned on in the BIOS -- I found 2 nodes which were incorrectly configured this way. But a newer node with Nehalem has an AMI Bios, and dmidecode always reports ECC off. Oh, well. Neither one captures serial numbers, but, I use the mac addr as a mobo serial number. -- greg

U.S. Veteran Dr. H.S. Gately, 91, died Oct. 15, 2013 in Lincoln. Harold Stephen Gately was born on July 10, 1922, to Stephen R. and Emma R. (Seelhoff) Gately.
U.S. Veteran Dr. H.S. Gately, 91, died Oct. 15, 2013 in Lincoln. Harold Stephen Gately was born on July 10, 1922, to Stephen R. and Emma R. (Seelhoff) Gately.
He was baptized and confirmed in the Syracuse Luther Memorial Church. As a boy he was very active in Scouting, earning the Life Scout award plus 38 merit badges. He graduated from Syracuse High School in 1940 with a President's Scholarship to Creighton University. In October, 1942 he enlisted in the U.S. Army Specialized Training Program and attended Creighton University School of Medicine. At the time of graduation, Dr. Gately was commissioned a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and was placed on standby status.
In 1945 he married his high school classmate and sweetheart, Miss Alys Marie Witt. They were married 69 ½ years. They had two children, a son Maurice Kent and a daughter Marcia Kay.
Dr. Gately completed a 15-month internship at St. Joseph's Hospital in Omaha. In December 1947, he joined Dr. C.R. Williams in Syracuse in the practice of Medicine and Surgery. Dr. Gately and a medical associate, Dr. William Clark, in 1948 began the process to secure a hospital in Syracuse. This effort culminated two years later with the completion of the Community Memorial Hospital.
Dr. Gately served as a scoutmaster of Syracuse Troop 337 from 1958 through 1961. He was a member of the Otoe County, Nebraska State and American Medical Associations. He was also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
In 1981 after completing 2000 hours of post graduate education, he was elected a Fellow in the Academy at a ceremony held in Miami, Fla.
During his practice, he and Dr. Williams entered into a partnership with Dr. Carl Formanack, and together they built the Syracuse Medical Center. Later Dr. Kerstin Beach joined the practice.
He loved yard work. He liked to travel the world. He built a 6'x10' landscaped model train. He was a life member of American Legion Post #100.
Dr. Gately is survived by his wife Alys Marie; son Dr. Maurice Gately and his wife Songqian of Chatham, N.J.; daughter Marica and her husband Dr. Cyril Leise of Omaha; granddaughter Dr. Tanya Leise and her husband Dr. Andrew Cohen of Amherst, Mass.; granddaughter Dr. Carisa Kymissis and her husband Dr. John Kymissis of New York, N.Y.; granddaughter Lynn Gately and her husband Hao Ly of Zurich, Switzerland; grandson Mark Gately and his wife Jenni Maroney of Niwot, Colo.; step grandson Luyang Yang of New York, N.Y.; and eight great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Monday, Oct. 21, at 10:30 a.m. at Luther Memorial Lutheran Church. Burial will follow at Park Hill Cemetery in Syracuse.
Visitation will be held Sunday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. at the funeral home.
Memorials in lieu of flowers are suggested to the Syracuse Food Bank or Luther Memorial Lutheran Church.
Fusselman Allen Harvey Funeral Home, Syracuse, is in charge of arrangements.

If you can find it, get the Breyer's Waffle Cone Overload. OMG, wicked good. Tastes like smashed up ice cream drumsticks.
that is my favorite ice cream flavor next to phish food by ben & jerrys!
best to you,

thanks to all for kind words on our teams being on the air during hurricanes hugo and marilyn... as long as we were working, it was hard to worry about anything. but once we went dark, we were engaged in keeping things from opening up and falling apart... fortunately that little station is built like a tank, and in spite of leaks and even an air conditioning unit that blew across the transmitter room, we kept our equipment and ourselves safe.
best to you,
"do the best that you can in the place where you are, and be kind."

Today JJ graduated from the little pool to the big olympic pool in swim class today. No warning just JJ jump into the big pool. I know he has been snorkeling in the ocean for a long time now but this is the big pool without mom and dad. I could tell he was scared. I was terrified but he jumped right in and started swimming. An olympic size pool is very big and long. At first it was ok. They just had to swim to the next cone placed on the side of the pool. He asked me every time to tell him when to stop and I did. Then the coach told them to swim from one end to the other. My heart was racing for him. The coach said to the kids who thinks they can make it without holding on to the side. JJ raised his hand. I thought oh no. Off he goes. Half way I could see he was struggling. He would stop and tread water for a moment and then give me a thumbs up. Three quarters of the way he is really struggling and I yell grab on to the side. He shakes his head no and quits freestyle swimming and goes underwater where he swims the best and makes it to the end of the pool. He climbs out of the pool shaking with exhaustion. I want to go and hold him but I don't. The coach asks are you tired and all the kids say yes. He asks them why they are tired and then he looks at JJ and says I know why you are tired. JJ just looks at him. He says you are 6 and you have never done this before in your life. I was so proud of him, my little man, but sad at the same time. He has left baby, toddler behind. I am no longer the center of his world. Off he goes.

Aww, I remember those times! Tam, you will always be the center of his universe! I love it when my 22 yr old daughter calls me from Florida where she's finishing up school to get advise or to cry. I miss her, wish she would move here but this definitely does not fit her style. She needs the faster pace of the city, restaurants to chose from, shopping....ah, the shopping how I do miss that right now!
Today is ridiculously clear, right now on my balcony I can see clearly Virgin Gorda...amazing Just feed the sugar birds and the are going nuts, splashing the sugar all over the place, oh well will have to get the mop out later . But they are so fun to watch, they have figured out that my cat, named Fish!, is not going to do anything at all about them encroaching on his turf. He usually hides on a balcony chair or under a drying beach towel and does the cat chirp and wiggles his butt, but that is all that he does.
Ahh, a beautiful morning...now if I can just get my neighbors yappy dog to shut up life will be perfect!
Have a great day everyone!
ohhh, did you see that they opened the "new"road to KMart and Lockhart area??? I was so confused, didn't know exactly where to go!

Starting to meet lots of new faces and becoming friends with them all. Great bunch of folks. Going out this weekend to hear a fantastic guitarist that plays classical and flamenco style at a resort where the view is breath taking. And it's free, except for the adult beverages, of course... Met a retired guy who has been in radio and TV almost as long as me. Needless to say, we hit it off right away and he's given me lots of information for networking with them. And he's been taking me around to the local haunts to meet the locals. Good times.
Got an email yesterday from the local tv station. He wants to talk. Also dropped off a demo with a radio station for possible vo's. And one of the resorts said they'd call me to shoot weddings when the high season starts in December. So things seem to be falling into place, work wise. Hope so.
All this and an island car too! Still have to pinch myself... Not while driving, though :}
