Red Phone: Leave the women alone at the gym
Dear Red Phone, I work out at a local gym, and there are a
Red Phone: Locations of fireworks booths
"Hello. I noticed there are a bunch of fireworks booths set up throughout the city. It seems like they are everywhere. Why are there so many and who gets all the money from them?"
Red Phone: Where did historic plane go?
"I got used to seeing that WWII B-25 bomber parked at South County Airport and now it's gone. Where did it go? Is it now airworthy or is it hangared for a refurbishing?"
Red Phone: Daley comment at graduation
"I was reading the key note speaker Sean LaGuardia's speech in the grad section and I was just wondering if you edited out the remarks he made about Jack Daley and the rousing round of applause the crowd gave him. It seems to me that was left out of his speech and I was wondering why."
Red Phone: Boating regulations too strict
"I was calling about Coyote Lake and all the Santa Clara County lakes. I noticed a few years ago they put new campgrounds at Coyote Lake, which I am kind of wondering why because they don't want boats out there. Santa Clara County is the only county that makes you go through an inspection for the clams. The inspection is a joke. You have to start your boat and remove all the water. In my case, I had to start my boat and it messed up my plugs so my day was shot because I had to buy new plugs. They added the campgrounds, but you can't swim there. They can't fill the lake more than 50 percent. I'm wondering why you add campgrounds when the dam needs to be fixed. Back when I was a kid there was a swimming beach area in the '80s and you could enjoy yourself. Now they will harass you on the lake after they have inspected you for the clams. Why is it the only county that does inspections? I have been to numerous lakes and no one charges. They charge $7 for the inspection, $7 for a reservation and then you have to pay for parking. I no longer go to Santa Clara County lakes. You can go to Lake Nacimiento and pay $7 period to get on the water. I feel they need to close down the lakes like they wanted and then they don't have to pay for the rangers."
Red Phone: See Grins set to open
"I am calling to see what business is opening at the old Wal-Mart building near Hometown Buffet."
Red Phone: People need to slow down
"They need to put a four-way stop on that corner by the Veteran's building, where the Farmers' Market is especially since they are doing the work on that area any way. There are four-way stops all the way down Sixth Street so one more won't matter. Also on Santa Theresa Drive and Third Street by El Roble School they need to put one. You ought to be out there when school gets out. People don't slow down. Sometimes when they hit Miller Avenue, they are doing 90 miles an hour it seems like. They need four-way stops at those two places."
Red Phone: Too many fruit stands
"I was just wondering if anyone has been annoyed by all the fruit stands on Pacheco Pass as you are driving east. It is getting ridiculous. It is like a free-for-all. I don't understand how it is safe. Can you please let me know if there is a county ordinance they might be violating with all these fruit stands?"
