was filled with local vendors and curious shoppers Sunday during the San Bruno Flea Market. San Bruno Patch took a visit to capture sights and sounds from the many vendors.

Nima Patel commented on why she enjoyed being a vendor at the flea markets."(When it comes to) items that you would usually cherish yourself but don't have any use for currently, it's good to see someone else take as much enjoyment in purchasing the item," Patel said. "That's the good thing about the flea market—you see your product go to somebody who sees it, enjoys it and puts it to use."

For Christina Merlini and her family, Sunday's was the second flea market that they have sold items at this summer. "We were selling at the flea market last month and this month and it has been great," Merlini said. "It's lots of business and it has been a great experience."

The Huie family also had a positive experience selling at the flea market. "Selling at the flea market has been good, especially now that the sun's out," Chester Huie said. "There are very nice people (shopping at the flea market)."

Donna Faber sold a variety of comic books and action figures from her personal collection at the flea market. "Sales have been modest," Faber said. "People are taking their money very seriously, but at the same time it's a lot of fun to be here and hang out with everybody. This is all my collection, so any money that I make is profit."

The last flea market of the summer will be held next month on Sunday, Sept. 18, at .

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
