The Daily Sparks Tribune Wednesday, April 5, 1989 - Vol. 77, No. 233 © 1989 Sparks Tribune Co, [Headline] Protest from page 1A [we don't have part one of this article] Auberger, who arrived in town Monday to prepare for the protests, said he expects about 150 handicapped people from around the country to show up. Auberger said he met with members of the Sparks and Reno police, the Washoe County Sheriffs Department and court marshals Tuesday. “It's definitely threatening but I think the people coming in here are well aware of what could happen to them,” Auberger said. Already Auberger has had a confrontation, albeit a friendly one, with Nugget security and Sparks police. Monday when Auberger was casing the outside of the Nugget, with video camera in hand, a security guard and a police officer approached him and knew him by name, he said. “It gave me a real feeling for how the police are going to respond and how the casino security will respond,” Auberger said. “It was like the casino burped and the police said ‘Excuse me,’ and that's not normal.” Auberger said his group has yet to begin drawing up strategy on how it will carry out its demonstration. However, Auberger predicted his group won’t be happy with being confined to B Street. “(The location) is very visible to traffic on B Street but it won't be visible to APTA members" Auberger said. “The spot is perfect if your issue is with the public or it‘s directed at the Nugget.” Auberger said his group is not violent although it is confrontational. Zamboni showed the press a 10-minute video tape of an ADAPT demonstration held in San Francisco Sept. 28, 1987. The video tape showed demonstrators blocking a SAMTRANS bus and tying their wheelchairs to the vehicle’s wheelspokes and sitting on the Powell Street cable car turn-around. It also showed police handcuffing protestors to their wheelchairs and the protestors chanting “We want to ride,” and “We want access.”
