MAHJONG AND LAUGHS—Above, mahjong players meet in a free class at the Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara on Aug. 2 in Thousand Oaks. Helen Kitaoka from Tokyo tells the group that she was born in the city of Ningbo, China, where the ancient tile game began. At left, Thousand Oaks resident Sue Morrison shows Marcie Ami of Westlake Village how to play mahjong.
