FOIE GRAS FEEDING FRENZY GROWS AS BAN NEARS
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Less than a month after developers withdrew
a stalled proposal to build up to 12,000 houses
on former salt ponds in Redwood City, the
group unveiled plans to cut the footprint in half
and seek federal regulatory input before return-
ing to the city.
On Tuesday, DMB Pacic Ventures and
Cargill led a request with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for a formal decision
on what extent, if at all, they have jurisdiction
over the Saltworks site. David Smith, senior
vice president of DMB Pacic Ventures, said
looking to the federal agencies before starting a
new public process in Redwood City is respon-
sible and a way to rst clarify what can even be
built on the land.
Asking for the jurisdictional determination
doesnt directly impact what the city does or
doesnt do but just because they approve it
doesnt mean it is in compliance with federal
laws, Smith said. The city could approve
something we cant build.
The new plan will be less than half the
acreage of the now-defunct 50-50 Balanced
Plan which called for reserving 50 percent of
the 1,436 acres as permanent open space, pub-
lic recreation and tidal marsh restoration and
develop the remaining half into housing,
schools, parks and retail and transit facilities.
Up to 12,000 homes would have been built
under this plan.
The latest proposal would limit development
to areas near Seaport Boulevard designated
urban reserve in the citys general plan and
Saltworks to try smaller plan
Developers want federal insight before facing city again
More than 200
jobs slashed in
county budget
$1.836B proposal higher because of
projects like jail planning, construction
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
More than 200 jobs are on the countys chopping block as part
of a recommended budget that still swelled to $1.836 billion in
large part due to hefty capital projects like constructing a new jail
and renovating one of two ofce towers purchased as depart-
mental escapes from pricey leases elsewhere.
A large portion of the 234 positions slated for elimination are
linked to Burlingame Long-Term Care, the residential care facil-
ity that will close next summer as a county cost-savings measure,
and a majority are lled, said county spokesman Marshall
Wilson.
Budget Director Jim Saco claried that 200 are related to the
facility and none are currently vacant. Of the others, 31 are
vacant. If approved, the eliminated jobs will push the total gone
to more than 700 or one-sixth of the countys workforce
over the last four years.

Once the last school bell rings, students
often celebrate the months of freedom
summer holds.
But that time away from the classroom
can negatively affect a students achieve-
ment. Without continuing to be engaged
in academics, students often suffer from
learning loss the focus of a statewide
campaign called Summer Matters.
Research has shown children from lower
economic backgrounds often lose the
most over summers since they have fewer
opportunities. Budget cuts mean most
schools arent able to offer summer school
as often. Through partnerships, many San
Mateo County students will have options.
By working together, summer learning
proponents can offer a solution for a num-
ber of students, but there arent enough
spaces yet to serve all the children who
would benet.
Theres no longer summer school pro-
grams but the kids still need options, said
Lara Fox, who directs summer learning
programs for Boys & Girls Clubs of the
Peninsula working with schools in the
Ravenswood and Redwood City elemen-
tary school districts.
Budget cuts have made it impossible for
many districts to offer summer academic
opportunities. Locally, partnerships
often between school districts, nonprots
and local cities have made it possible
for students of all ages to have options
over the summer. The common goal is to
provide access for students.
Summer can create a challenge for stu-
dents, explained Shelly Masur, who
serves on the Redwood City Elementary
School District Board of Trustees. Access
to summer opportunities to continue
learning is one part of a childs needs.
Students fall behind if they dont continue
Making summer matter
Programs seek to engage students and help achievement

Paper: Group sex for
porn movie shot on L.A. field
LOS ANGELES Memorial
Coliseum, home of Southern
Californias football program and two
Summer Olympics, has another claim
to fame. The Los Angeles Times reports
the stadium was once used to film a
hardcore porn movie.
The Times said Wednesday that the
filming of 40 minutes of group sex on
the field was done at night using stadi-
um lights, which typically requires
high-level approval.
The Coliseum is run by the city,
county and state but no one contacted
by the Times knew who gave permis-
sion to shoot.
Credits say the movie was produced
on Sept. 16, 2001, during the football
season, although USC didnt use the
field that weekend.
The movies star told the Times hes
been making movies for 20 years but
that one was memorable because of the
location.
Malaysian WWW1 license
plate sells for $165,000
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
The World Wide Web has inspired a

plates.
When the prefix WWW became
available on this Southeast Asian coun-
trys plates, more than 18,000 people
submitted bids. The Road Transport
Department said Monday that the most
coveted plate, WWW1, sold for a
record 520,000 ringgit ($165,600) to
Malaysian royal state leader Sultan

The constitutional leader of
Malaysias southern Johor state is

Officials estimate the successful
WWW bids will earn the transport
department 11.3 million ringgit ($3.6
million).
The previous highest sum paid for a
license plate in Malaysia was 300,100
ringgit ($95,600) in 2010 for MCA1,
the acronym for a national political
party.

city on Interstate 376, known locally as
the Parkway West.
State troopers from the nearby bar-
racks in Findlay Township spotted the
pig, but couldnt catch up to it.
Police say the pig appeared to be a
baby and confirmed it was wearing a
scarf. Police dont know why that is or
who may own the animal.
Still, someone has created a Twitter

Woman finds baby bird
with two heads, three beaks
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. A
Northampton woman made an unusual
discovery in her yard a deformed
baby cardinal with two heads and three
beaks.
April Britt says she found the bird
near the base of a tree Monday and
returned it to its nest.
The 67-year-old Britt tells the Daily
Hampshire Gazette the bird apparently
couldnt eat without assistance from the
adult birds. The middle beak didnt
work well and the other two didnt
appear to be connected to the birds
throat.
A scientist for the Massachusetts
Audubon Society says animals with
such abnormalities rarely survive birth,
making the find all the more unusual.
He says the deformities could have
been caused by genetic or environmen-
tal factors.

Traditional schedules have never been
Katie Bates favorite.
Sitting in long classes without the ability
to move around has never fit her personality.
Instead, Bates has been drawn to moving
around. She tried a variety of sports and
stuck with two for a good amount of time
figure skating and lacrosse. Focusing on
skating led to being home schooled for a few
years. Getting back into a regular class
schedule was a challenge for Bates, the vale-
dictorian of Mercy High Schools 2012
graduating class. Bates doesnt plan to make
a career of skating but will continue to spend
time on ice when studies at Dartmouth
College starting in the fall.
Katie Bates is an amazing student, said
advanced placement science teacher Pat
Bradley. She comes across as a normal
teenage girl, but when you have her in class
you realize she is an amazing teenager. She
is an avid ice skater, practicing at times
before school. She almost always gets the
highest grade on any test. She is the best
lacrosse player according to her teammates.
She is also quite the leader as she is the
lacrosse team captain.
Born in North Carolina, Bates moved to
Washington with her family at 3 months old.
At 7, in the middle of first grade, her family
moved to San Carlos. Bates enrolled at
Brittan Acres, where she stayed until third
grade before taking classes at Notre Dame
Elementary School for fourth and fifth
grade.
Throughout her time in elementary school,
Bates skated. She enrolled in skating classes
at Belmont Iceland at 8 years old. By sixth
grade, she was getting serious and decided
to be home schooled to allow for more time
to train. In seventh grade, Bates started play-
ing lacrosse. The new sport was something
few others in the area played. Bates joined a
club team at first then started playing at
Mercy. This year, the lacrosse team won
league but Bates broke her wrist with 52 sec-
onds to go.
When it came time for high school, Bates
decided to head to Mercy and spend less
time competing. The transition from home
school to a regular class setting was a chal-
lenge for Bates who wasnt accustomed to
the structure. Despite that, she got involved
with activities like the campus ministry
team, which set up masses, dance class on
campus and was recognized by math and
science honor societies.
Since she was 13, Bates has helped at the
ice rink in the summer with camps teaching
younger kids to skate. And, Bates has partic-
ipated in a church youth group service trip
taken during summers throughout high
school. As a group, the students have trav-
eled to a reservation in Idaho, to restore sand
dunes in Humboldt, to rebuild a home in
New Orleans and, this summer, to work on a
farm in Washington. During her senior year,
Bates took part in a class research trip to
Costa Rica to research turtles. The experi-
ence opened up her eyes to a new love of
traveling.
When it came time to pick a college, Bates
purposefully applied to colleges that allowed
her to enter without declaring a major. She
was choosing between Dartmouth and
Amherst College. Dartmouth, located in
Hanover, N.H., was a fit for Bates who will
be able to skate through the schools pro-
gram a unique opportunity for her.
Mercys graduation will be held at 2 p.m.
Sunday, June 3 at St. Ignatius Church at the
University of San Francisco.
Great Grads is in its seventh year proling one
graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partici-
pate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.

Bipartisan transportation
security legislation authored by
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, passed the House of
Representatives by a voice vote
yesterday.
The Mass Transit
Intelligence Prioritization Act,
H.R. 3140, would enhance the security of mass transit
systems by promoting mass transit-related information
sharing between the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and state and local law enforcement
agencies, according to Speiers ofce.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of
the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, which includes
reauthorization of the Best Pharmaceutical for

Equity Act (PREA), by U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo
Alto.
Eshoos bill, referred to as the BPCA and PREA

Assembly approves
tuition cut for middle class
SACRAMENTO The state
Assembly has approved a bill to cut
tuition at the University of
California and California State
University by two-thirds for stu-
dents whose families make too
much to qualify for nancial aid.
AB1501, part of Assembly
Speaker John Perezs so-called
Middle-Class Scholarship Act,
passed the Assembly on a 54-17
vote Wednesday and goes to the
Senate.
The tuition relief would be avail-
able for students whose families
make less than $150,000 a year.
Wednesdays vote does not pro-
vide funding for the program. A sep-
arate bill by the Los Angeles
Democrat would generate $1 billion
by eliminating a corporate tax
break. Perez said he would bring
that legislation up later.
Many Republican lawmakers
opposed the legislation, saying pub-
lic universities should be forced to
cut spending and limit tuition
increases.
Bill allows grand jury
for nancial crimes
SACRAMENTO Californias
attorney general could convene a
statewide grand jury to investigate
nancial crimes that cross county
lines under bills approved in the
state Assembly and Senate.
The legislation unanimously
passed Wednesday is part of a pack-
age of consumer-protection bills
that Attorney General Kamala
Harris pursued in response to the
mortgage crisis.
Sen. Loni Hancock, a Berkeley
Democrat, says a statewide grand
jury is needed when mortgage fraud
crosses jurisdictions and involves
multiple victims.
Bankers oppose other parts of
Harris package, but have not taken
positions on SB1474 and AB1763.
Another bill approved Wednesday,
AB1950 by Democratic
Assemblyman Mike Davis of Los
Angeles, extends the statute of limi-
tations for prosecuting mortgage
fraud from one year to three years.

Romney in town for fundraiser
Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney and his wife Ann were in the Bay Area
yesterday for a fundraising trip that included a
reception in Hillsborough with tickets reaching
$50,000 per person.
That event was held at the Chateau
Carolands, a mansion nestled in the hills of San
Mateo County. Ticket prices ranged from
$2,500 for the general reception to $50,000 for
a founders dinner.
Attendees included former Gov. Pete Wilson
and former Secretary of State George Shultz,
according to an invitation for the event.
Yesterday afternoon, Ann Romney attended a

Sequoia Union among districts
selected for financial aid project
The U.S. Department of Education
announced Wednesday that 92 additional
school districts will now have access to indi-
vidualized data to help their students complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
Completing the FAFSA used to determine
eligibility for federal aid and the gateway to
other student aid is a critical factor in help-
ing students access higher education.
Selected school districts, which span 30
states, will be able to track whether high school
seniors have completed the FAFSA starting in
the 2012-13 school year. Among those chosen
is the Sequoia Union High School District. This
information will help school college guidance
counselors focus efforts and resources on stu-
dents who have yet to complete the process.
These 92 new sites join 18 other districts that
received data for the 2011-12 school year as
part of the FAFSA Completion Projects initial
pilot. Since the project launched, the depart-
ment has received requests from districts and
high schools to expand the pilot.
Sites announced yesterday were randomly
selected. To evaluate the effectiveness of local
level counseling, districts with multiple high
schools will have a staggered rollout. The dis-
tricts will establish an experimental group and
a control group by giving half of participating
schools access to the FAFSA data in year one
of the project, then adding the remaining half of
schools the following year. The departments
Institute of Education Statistics will publish a
report that summarizes the ndings of the 80
multi-high school districts.
Man struck, killed on Caltrain
tracks north of Hayward Park station
A man was killed by a train on the Caltrain
tracks in San Mateo late yesterday morning
delaying trains in the early part of the after-
noon.
Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said
the man was struck by southbound train No.
142 at about 11:45 a.m. just north of the
Hayward Park station at Ninth Avenue.
The train that hit the man had departed from
San Francisco at 11:07 a.m. and was making all
local stops, she said.
There were 400 passengers on the train, and
no passengers or crew members were injured,
according to Dunn. The northbound track
reopened at 12:20 p.m., and service began get-
ting back to normal.
The mans death marked the eighth fatality
on Caltrain right-of-way this year, Dunn said.
Last year, 16 people died on Caltrain tracks.

Off the Grid, the mobile-food extravaganza
that lit up downtown San Mateo last summer,
will not be coming back this summer, compa-
ny owner Matt Cohen informed the Daily
Journal yesterday.
The city welcomed the event back informal-
ly in April but also decided to put out a request
for proposals to see who else and what kind of
extra benets the city could get out of the
Monday night events held at the downtown
Caltrain station last year.
Cohen decided not to submit a proposal and
is looking instead at opportunities in the South
Bay. Off the Grid holds several events every
week in San Francisco where a number of
gourmet food trucks park, including at the
Civic Center and Fort Mason.
We want to be sure to send our thanks to
everyone that came out to support Off the
Grid: San Mateo and hope well see some of
those familiar faces down the road as we pop
up around the Peninsula, Cohen wrote in a
statement.
Off the Grid will likely not operate in San
Mateo County this summer, said Marla
McLaughlins, a publicist for the company.
They decided the location wasnt working
and to nd another spot, she said.
The city has two proposals now, one from
Moveable Feast, which is similar to Off the
Grid and operated at the San Mateo County
Event Center on Fridays last year and the
other from Urban Table, which conducts farm-
ers markets in the area.
The city had sought at least 10 proposals but
only got two.
Kris Cesena, president of the Downtown
San Mateo Association board, said her group
is disappointed Off the Grid will not return
this summer.
The DSMA supported Off the Grids return,
Cesena said.
The DSMA Events Committee is currently
reviewing the two latest proposals with the
citys Special Events Committee, Cesena said.
Many of the same vendors have participated
in both Off the Grid and Moveable Feast
events in the past, including Chairman Mao,
Naked Chorizo, Cheese Gone Wild, Curry Up
Now, Mamas Empanadas and Whisk on
Wheels.
San Mateo Deputy Mayor David Lim called
the Monday night food trucks at the Transit
Center a good event and that it should
stay.
The city should make a decision on who
will operate at the Transit Center by the mid-
dle of June, Lim said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa Whats next
for Mitt Romney? The Republican presi-
dential nomination nally in hand, he will
spend the next three months trying to
undercut President Barack Obama on the
economy while portraying himself as Mr.
Fix It for a nation with stubbornly and
painfully high unemployment.
Romney also faces key decisions
between now and his acceptance of the
partys nomination in late August in
Florida: Where should he compete most
aggressively? Who should be his running
mate?
At the same time, he must dive anew
into fundraising and work to win over
voters who are distracted by their own
summer plans and day-to-day pocket-
book worries while withstanding
Obamas attacks on his own claims as a
jobs creator.
Not that Romney is publicly sweating
the hurdles that come with being the lit-
tle-known challenger to a personally pop-
ular president.
People will get to know me better,
Romney told Fox
News in an interview
that aired Wednesday,
the day after he
sealed the GOP nom-
ination with his pri-
mary election victory
in Texas. He says the
general election cam-
paign is only begin-
ning even though his
chief challenger dropped out more than
six weeks ago.
With a smile, he said of the voters, My
guess is theyre going to get to know
more about me than theyd like to by the
time were nished.
As if on cue, Obamas campaign
opened a fresh critique of the GOP nom-
inee-in-waiting, assailing his economic
record as governor of Massachusetts. Its
the second phase of an effort by Obama
to dene Romney negatively in voters
eyes. The Democrat already has spent
weeks hammering the Republican on his
record at the private equity company he
founded.
Obama himself made a courtesy call to
Romney to congratulate him on his nom-
ination victory. An Obama aide said the
president told Romney in a brief and cor-
dial chat that he looked forward to debat-
ing Americas future with him.
Romney spent the day in California,
plunging into a week lled with fundrais-
ers and efforts to unite Republicans after
a divisive primary season. Already hes
proven adept at both, hauling in enough
cash to cut into the advantage that Obama
has while getting most of his former
Republican rivals to close ranks around
him.
Those efforts and the turning of his
primary campaign into a general election
operation have been his prime focus.
Hes making only a handful of public
appearances for now, but aides say they
expect the campaign to ramp up to a full
sprint by July 4. Romney has said he
plans to take a week off around the holi-
day, suggesting that may be the time
when he makes nal deliberations on
whom to choose as his vice presidential
nominee.
Little is known about just where in that
process Romney may be, though there is
no shortage of Republican rising stars
informally auditioning for the role.
What next for Romney?

SAN FRANCISCO A blistering
new report quietly released over the
Memorial Day Weekend called for the
overhaul of Californias Administrative
Ofce of the Courts, which it described
as dysfunctional, secretive and top-heavy
with overpaid executives.
The report was prepared by a commit-
tee of state judges appointed last year by
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye to
investigate claims the administrative arm
of the courts had grown too large and
costly amid severe budget cuts. The chief
justice released the nearly 300-page
report late Friday night. The report chid-
ed the AOC for claiming in February that
it employed more than 750 when it
concluded that the AOC has grown from
430 workers in 2002 to more than 1,100
last year with hundreds earning six gure
salaries amid a supposed hiring freeze.
AOC managers conceded they got
around the hiring freeze by employing
temporary and contract workers.
The report also said the AOC appeared
guilty of violating its own work rules by
allowing some workers to telecommute
from long distances, including one attor-
ney who works from Switzerland.
The report criticized the agency for a
lack of transparency.

Lawmakers to amend
specialty license plate bills
SACRAMENTO California law-
makers trying to establish new specialty
license plates this year said Wednesday
they are moving quickly to amend their
bills and enact safeguards to ensure the
money is spent as promised after an
Associated Press investigation raised
questions about oversight of the pro-
gram.
Several lawmakers said they are
changing their bills to include regular
audits as a way to assure the public that
the extra fees drivers pay for the special-
ty plates are going to the right place.
Some also are calling for ongoing over-
sight of all the specialty license plate
funds and say the state should return the
millions it has borrowed from one of
them.

Odd politics, presidential tradition: Bush is back
WASHINGTON This is a little awkward.
President Barack Obama cant seem to stop bad-mouthing
the record of former President George W.
Bush. But on Thursday, Obama is going to
welcome his predecessor and proudly pre-
side as Bushs image and legacy are
enshrined at the White House forever.
Obama and rst lady Michelle Obama
will join Bush and his wife, Laura, as their
ofcial portraits are unveiled. The incum-
bent is keeping up a presidential tradition
typically dened by cheer and gracious-
ness, but not without some uneasiness.
Hardly a day goes by without Obama or
his aides talking about the mess they inher-
ited meaning, from Bush.
It was just one week ago that Obama,
revving up campaign donors, turned Bush
into a punch line. Obama depicted
Republican rival Mitt Romney as a peddler
of bad economic ideas, helping the rich at
the expense of the middle class, and then
added to laughs: That was tried, remem-
ber? The last guy did all this.
Sex offenders fight for right to use Facebook
INDIANAPOLIS Registered sex offenders who have
been banned from social networking websites are ghting back
in the nations courts, successfully challenging many of the
restrictions as infringements on free speech and their right to
participate in common online discussions.
The legal battles pit public outrage over sex crimes against
cherished guarantees of individual freedom and the far-reach-
ing communication changes brought by Facebook, LinkedIn
and dozens of other sites.
Its going to be really, really hard, I think, to write some-
thing that will achieve the states purpose in protecting chil-
dren online but not be restrictive enough to be unconstitution-
al, said Carolyn Atwell-Davis, director of legislative affairs at
the Virginia-based National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children.
Govt expanding E. coli tests in meat
WASHINGTON The government is expanding E. coli
testing in some raw meat, a move expected to prevent more
people from contracting the bacteria that can cause severe ill-
ness or death.
The meat industry has been required for 18 years to test for
just one strain of E. coli. Starting Monday, it will be required
to test beef trimmings for six more strains of the pathogen that
have been linked to a growing number of illnesses.
The meat industry has opposed the move, saying the tests are
too expensive and there arent enough benets.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says the pathogens pose
a threat to the nations food supply.

State coroner bill buried
The week of June 2, 2007, then-assemblyman Gene Mullin,
D-South San Francisco, pulled a proposal mandating state coro-
ners notify the next-of-kin for post-autopsy organ retention
rather than eliminate the requirement they return the body parts.
Mullin held the bill, which was in the Assembly
Appropriations Committee, and expected to push it again in
January. Opponents of the bill cited costs more than $5 million
for the notication requirements and the return of the parts,
which would require refrigerated storage space and extra staff,
Mullin said.
Chemical plant shut down
A hazardous material processing plant in East Palo Alto oper-
ated unsafely June 2006 when a chemical plume oated into the
air and showed reckless disregard for safety of employees,
according to a state order the week of June 2, 2007 yanking the
companys permit to handle and store liquid waste.
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control
announced the ban that week as part of its ongoing investigation
into violations including the release of 4,000 gallons of solvents
at the facility in June 2006 and incidents when two employees
were seriously burned in June 2004 and March 2006.

Doug Burns, 43, met the decision with relief and a sense of
vindication.

OPINION 9
Promotion for more voter
participation is necessary
Editor,
Californias secretary of state needs to
do more for independent voters. Due to
redistricting and open primary initiatives,
California has a whole new election sys-
tem. On June 5, all voters can take part,
whether theyre registered with a politi-
cal party or not. It is the secretary of
states important responsibility to pro-
mote voter participation, but the some-
what confusing Voter Information
Pamphlet by itself is not sufcient. This
is especially true for Californias 3.6 mil-
lion independent voters (formerly
Decline-To-State, now No Party
Preference), many of whom have never
participated in primaries before.
We frequently hear professionally pro-
duced radio spots promoting the
California Lottery. Surely, voter partici-
pation is worth the same effort! The sec-
retary of states ofce could be doing
this and more. Certainly, a press confer-
ence or a series of public service
announcements could be easily arranged.
It is in everyones best interest to max-
imize voter participation, otherwise
democracy suffers with painful results.
There have been rapid and signicant
changes in our voting system and
California needs to be doing a better job
of informing voters, especially independ-
ents, about what these changes mean.

Response to The unpleasant
truth for conservative lovers
Editor,
As a registered Democrat for more
than 45 years, I was not surprised that
Keith Kreitman acknowledged in his col-
umn (The unpleasant truth for conserva-
tive lovers published in the May 5-6
weekend edition of the Daily Journal)
that he could not understand the mem-
bers of the middle class who identied
with the conservatives. Talking about
voting against self-interest, this is the
classic example he claims.
This is due to the fact that Kreitman is
not just a Democrat; he is a knee-jerk
progressive Democrat whose mind is
stuck in the 1930s and supports his party,
right or wrong. I have no doubt that
Kreitman votes his self-interest over the
national interest, and I am glad that
many middle class Democrats and
Republicans still take the long-term view
and vote down on the goodies for them-
selves that have brought this country to a
debt of $17 trillion to be paid by our
children and grandchildren.

Letters to the editor
By Elizabeth Cronin
I
am the head of the English
Language Development
Department at San Mateo High
School. In ELD, we teach newcomers
and returning citizens to speak English.
My work with the parents of my stu-
dents has convinced me to take a stand
against the San Mateo Union High
School Districts proposal to relocate its
alternative high school, Peninsula High
School, to the San Mateo High School
campus.
Parents of our English Learner stu-
dents meet several times throughout the
year and conclude their last meeting,
per state mandate, by generating a
report to the school principal advising
her on ways the school might better
address the needs of their children.
Over the years, there have been a few
common threads to their recommenda-
tions, one of which has been student
safety in the San Mateo community.
Parents do not feel their children are
safe coming and going to school.
These are the parents recommenda-
tions from the three most recent
reports:
2010 Gang violence continues to
be a problem within the community and
we would like to see the school more
active in addressing this issue. We are
particularly concerned about the safety
of students as they travel between home
and school. The district ought to pro-
vide transportation to students who
come from the other side of the free-
way, who are often forced to walk
through dangerous areas.
2011 Provide security for stu-
dents who walk over the freeway to and
from the school. Improve security on
campus before
school, during lunch
and after school.
2012 Increase
security before and
after school, and
coordinate better
with the police.
In my classes, I
have observed the
decline of gang activity that Police
Chief Susan Manheimer referred to at
the City Council meeting May 21. Until
four or ve years ago, I had a signi-
cant number of students in every class
who were in or associated with a gang.
I never used to use a red or blue pen or
the numbers 13 or 14 in class because
of the disruption these colors and num-
bers caused. Students had gangs con-
stantly on their minds; gang life perme-
ated our classrooms and was very detri-
mental to student learning. Gradually
things have changed, and the gangs no
longer have the same hold on students.
And yet, despite this vast improve-
ment, the EL parents continue to fear
for their children. Indeed, the snapshot
of criminal activity around San Mateo
High School that the police chief
shared with the City Council reveals
why the EL parents have been pressing
for more security. The area simply is
not safe enough for students to relax
their vigilance. And it certainly isnt
safe enough to incorporate a new
school of 250 students given the police
chiefs prediction of increased gang
violence if this move occurs. She has
made this assessment based on evi-
dence that 20 percent of Peninsulas
students have gang afliations and a
number of them are to gangs that rival
those in San Mateo.
The San Mateo Union High School
District has stated its commitment to
providing equitably for Peninsula High
School students, many of whom are
disadvantaged because of their socioe-
conomic status, their ethnicity or early
parenthood. I agree with this goal.
However, similar disadvantages exist
for the EL students in fact, for many
of the students at San Mateo High
School. The majority of the EL students
are socioeconomically disadvantaged.
Many are undocumented. At the
moment, three are mothers. Due to
many factors their status as new-
comers, their undeveloped English
skills, their fractured family structure,
and where they live the EL students
will be among the most vulnerable if
there is an increase in gang activity in
the area.
The police chief has asked the district
not to place Peninsula High School on
the San Mateo High School campus. At
the same time, the EL parents have
pleaded for safer streets. The district
should take these perspectives seriously
as they come from those directly affect-
ed by street violence. The district
should seek a home for Peninsula High
School that offers students from both
schools a safe environment.

Language Development at San Mateo
High School for 12 years. Before that, in
the 1990s, she taught at Mills High
School. She lives in San Francisco.
Student safety key at San Mateo High School
Tricked out
M
y dogs are not too old for new tricks. Years
ago, I made them promise to never grow old
and die and Im certain, as with everything
else I command of them, they will dutifully obey. There
is obviously no reason why
I should be surprised then
with every new skill set
they unveil.
When they first learned
to recognize words it was
cute, not to mention use-
ful. Go outside, Id order,
and Riley would make a
beeline for the backdoor. I
was the pack leader! To
bed! Id announce, and the
pitter patter of furry feet
would scurry to their
respective nighttime
places. Sometimes Id pose
questions. What do you
think, Ollie? which almost always drew a wet nose and
serious puppy consideration. Other times, Id invoke his
middle name which parents (of both the two- and four-
legged kind) know is proof positive of A Very Serious
Situation. Oliver Maximus! Who made this mess? Sure,
hed refuse to make eye contact and continue chewing
away at his favorite squeaky seahorse toy but I knew he
understood. He simply chose to ignore the stern lecture.
But soon asking, Who wants to eat? became moot
because of the new talent telling time. Now, the dogs
tell me when it is time for breakfast and dinner and god
help me when I dare have a second cup of coffee before
noticing the clock hands hitting 8 a.m. At first I didnt
realize Riley, in particular, had an internal clock better
than anything dial or digital.
What? What is it that you want? Id ask, as he likely
sat there patiently wondering when this silly human
would finally learn some skills of her own. Now weve
come to an understanding I wont ask if he wont. I
wont make him beg and shake and convince me hes
worthy of kibble and he wont stare his large brown eyes
into mine until my uncomfortable guilt propels me
toward the plastic bin storing the food.
Combining both time and language skills, with a heavy
dose of Pavlovian theory, the dogs have also figured out
that a late-night click of the remote equates bedtime.
Unfortunately, that realization is always accompanied by
a scramble of nails across the floor toward the back
door, a cacophony of barks and yelps that rip through
the quiet which leaves me hoping the neighbors arent
home, and the far-from-rare tumble over one anothers
head. Toys and wine glasses have been known to fall
victim to the scuffle. The critters can be in a dead sleep
on the couch, deep in dreamland where the tennis balls
are plentiful and the cats never get away, but one click
changes everything.
Sometimes the remote will fall or my hand will push
the wrong button, inadvertently cutting the power. The
dogs almost look disappointed on their trot back to their
previous positions, confused why I havent budged and
the television is again suddenly on. How could they have
been so wrong?
Lately, they dont even need the remote click to jump
into a frenzy.
Want to go lay down? Ill ask my other half.
Before the words are even out, Riley and Ollie are up
and the bark-fest is on.
Stop it! Ill yell. Maybe they havent quite learned that
one although they certainly hear the demand enough.
Perhaps repetition isnt the core of learning. Is corporal
punishment still a no-no?
The nighttime ritual has become so common and so
increasingly loud Ive taken to sneaky measures. Like
a parent trying to have a grown-up chat in front of tiny
ears, Ive resorted to avoiding full words.
Should we take the dogs for a w-a-l-k? Ill ask. Or
later, Think its time for b-e-d? Ill utter, almost whis-
per, in hopes of a little peace and quiet.
But alas, no.
The barking and whining comes even louder. Who
knew bedtime was so exciting? Who knew after a day of
loafing the dogs would be so gung-ho to slip into anoth-
er stretch of sleep?
But more importantly, when did my dogs learn to
spell?

Fearing a nancial rupture in Europe,
investors around the world ed from risk
Wednesday. They punished stocks and
the euro and ocked to bonds, driving the
yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S.
Treasury note to its lowest point since
World War II.
In the United States, where concerns
about Europe have already wiped out
most of the strong gain that stocks had
from January through March, major aver-
ages fell more than 1 percent. The Dow
Jones industrial average closed down 161
points.
With Spains banking system teetering
and Greeces political future unclear
ahead of crucial elections next month,
European stocks lost even more. The
euro dropped below $1.24, to its lowest
point since the summer of 2010.
Everyones just afraid that if Europe
doesnt get its act together, there will be
a big spillover in the U.S., said Peter
Tchir, manager of the hedge fund TF
Market Advisors.
He said the uncertainty in Europe was
reminiscent of the nancial crisis in the
fall of 2008, when it was briey unclear
in the United States whether banks would
be bailed out and we had these giant
swings up and down.
Wall Street, which woke up to
increased anxiety over higher Spanish
borrowing rates, was down from the
opening bell.
The Dow closed down 160.83 points,
or 1.3 percent, at 12,419.86. The Dow
has had a miserable May, losing more
than 6 percent, and is on track for its rst
losing month since September.
The Standard & Poors 500 index lost
19.10 points to 1,313.32. The Nasdaq
composite index fell 33.63 to 2,837.36.
Energy stocks were hit hardest because
of a big drop in the price of oil, but stocks
in all major industries fell.
The trigger for Wednesdays sell-off
was Spain, where the banking system is
under strain a week after its fourth-
largest bank required $23.8 billion in
government aid to cover souring real
estate loans.
Investors are increasingly worried that
problems at the bank, Bankia, might
recur at other Spanish banks. Many lent
heavily during the nations real estate
bubble. Losses from the real estate crash
might be too big for Spains government
to shoulder.
On Wednesday, borrowing rates rose
sharply for Spain and Italy, which are
seen as the latest problem cases in a debt
crisis that has rocked global markets for
more than two years.

SAN FRANCISCO Google is
adding a new entree to its menu: free
restaurant ratings from the Zagat review
service.
Zagat, which Google bought in
September, was charging $25 annually
or $5 monthly for online access to its
survey of diners. Those diners have rated
about 35,000 restaurants in more than
100 cities around the world.
The reviews will be available for free
on Zagat.com as well as several services
on Googles website as part of a change
announced Wednesday.
Now, the worlds highest-quality
reviews are available to more people,
whether they are at their desks or on the
go, Zagat founders Nina and Tim Zagat
wrote Wednesday on their Google Plus
social-networking page.
Zagat will still charge $10 a year for
using an application designed for Apple
Inc.s iPhone and iPad, although Google
indicated it may eventually drop that fee.
After a six-month free trial, Zagat
charges $25 annually to see reviews on
its app for mobile devices running on
Googles Android software.
The Internet fees helped protect sales
of the burgundy-colored guides that
Zagat has been putting out since its 1979
inception. For now, Zagat still intends to
publish the guides, which were listed
Wednesday on Amazon for $8.75 to $16.
Google Inc. acquired Zagat for $151
million in September to compete against
Yelps popular online rating service.
Google and Yelp Inc. are battling to
attract more trafc to spur more sales of
ads to neighborhood merchants.
Yelp explored a possible sale to
Google for a reported $500 million in
2009 before deciding to go its own way.
The two companies have since become
prickly rivals, driven by Yelps allega-
tions that Google rigs its search results
to favor its own services over its com-
petitors.

Colleges bank deals saddle students with big fees
WASHINGTON As many as 900 colleges are pushing
students into using payment cards that carry hefty costs, some-
times even to get to their nancial aid money, according to a
report released Wednesday by a public interest group.
Colleges and banks rake in millions from the fees, often
through secretive deals and sometimes in apparent violation of
federal law, according to the report, an early copy of which was
obtained by the Associated Press.
More than two out of ve U.S. higher-education students
more than 9 million people attend schools that have deals
with nancial companies, says the report, written by the U.S.
Public Interest Research Group Higher Education Fund.
For decades, student aid was distributed without fees, said
Rich Williams, the reports lead author. Now bank middlemen
are making out like bandits using campus cards to siphon off
millions of student aid dollars.
Programs like Higher Ones shift the cost of handing out
nancial aid money from universities, which no longer have to
print and mail checks, to fee-paying students, Williams said.
The fees add to the mountain of debt many students already
take on to get a diploma. U.S. student debt tops $1 trillion,
according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Fears over Europe push 10-year rate to 66-year low
NEW YORK A key borrowing rate is sinking to a 66-
year low as fear over Europe roils global markets.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 1.62 percent in
Wednesday trading as investors shifted money into Treasurys
and other government bonds considered safe.
The ight to Treasurys was spurred by reports that the
European Central Bank rejected a plan to help Spain pay for a
banking bailout.
The price of the 10-year Treasury jumped $1.12 for every
$100 invested. Rising demand for bonds lowers their yields.
Worries that troubles in Europe will set off a wider nancial
crisis have driven traders into Treasurys in May. The 10-year
Treasury started the month paying 1.95 percent.

A decade ago, Half Moon Bay hired former
Cougars standout Matt Ballard to run its foot-
ball program.
Ten years later, another Half Moon Bay
alumnus is taking over the reins. The school
announced late Tuesday that longtime assis-
tant Keith Holden will replace Ballard, who
announced in April he was
leaving at the end of the
school year to take over
the football program at
Redondo Beach in
Southern California.
Ballard believes the
Cougars program will be
left in good hands.
I think we have built a
successful program to some extent, said
Ballard, who is also the schools athletic
director until the end of the school year.
Keith has been with me from the beginning.
Hes been instrumental (in the teams suc-
cess). I would not have taken the [Half Moon
Bay] job if he didnt come with me.
Holden, along with Ballard, was a member
of Half Moon Bays league championship
teams in 1990 and 1991 and the two have been
friends since middle school. Holden played
two years at College of San Mateo before
transferring to Whittier College, where he
played on the offensive line. He coached for
several years in Southern California before
coming home.
While Holdens ofcial title was that of
offensive coordinator, Ballard said he was

I
ts only high school baseball, but this
recently concluded season offered up
some of the worst outeld play Ive
seen a while. Although high school athletes
continue to get bigger, faster and stronger,
some of fundamentals of the game appear
to be taking a backseat.
Everyone knows as players move up the
ranks, the best continue playing while oth-
ers drift away from a
particular sport. From
youth leagues to high
school and beyond,
the cream rises to the
top.
As athletes get
older and move up
the athletic ladder, the
competition gets bet-
ter and the margin
between players
shrinks. Those who
continue to perfect
the fundamentals tend
to be those who move on to the next level,
with athletic ability being similar.
In other words, athleticism can only get a
player so far. They must learn the nuances
of the game they play in this instance
baseball if they want to play in college
or entertain any thoughts of playing profes-
sionally.
And yet I cant count the number of hor-
rible plays I saw made in the outeld this
year by varsity-level athletes. And Im not
talking about hustle mistakes or balls inad-
vertently going under gloves and through
legs.
Im talking about poor routes to the ball,
dropped balls just poor fundamental
outeld play. One thing I really noticed this

As Cals inelders converged on the mound
for their ritual rst-inning pep talk Sunday,
the rhetoric was business as usual.
But on this day at Sunken Diamond, the
four draft-eligible players in the powwow
shortstop Tony Renda, third baseman Mitch
Delno, catcher Chadd Krist, and pitcher
Justin Jones were aware this was likely the
last time theyd ever come together as team-
mates.
Many teammates stare down the barrel of
this dynamic, every season, everywhere in the
world of baseball. For the nucleus of the leg-
endary Golden Bears squad, however a
team that last year made one of the most
unique Cinderella runs in College World
Series history the sight of their ineld
gathering, in their vintage uniforms of Yale
blue with bright golden sleeves, was some-
thing special to behold.
I think it was in the back of all our heads
that this could be the last game that wed play
together, Renda said. It was like: Lets go
out with a bang. Lets just play the game that
we love to play with each other. It was busi-
ness as usual, but obviously it had a little
bit more to it.
A three-time All-Pac10/12 Conference
player, Renda went just 1 for 16 against
Stanford over the weekend in what is likely
the nal series of his collegiate career. But the
hit was big in more ways than one. The RBI
single in the 18th inning of Friday nights
marathon proved to be the game-winner.
The clean line drive to center also moved
Renda past Xavier Nady on Cals career hits
list. With 244 career hits, Renda now ranks
sixth all-time in school history, and rst all-
time among three-year players. As a standout
with Serras varsity squad from 2007-09,
Renda set the Padres all-time record with 139
hits.
Renda part of special team
MICHAEL PIMENTEL/GOLDENBEARSPORTS.COM
Tony Renda, a former Serra standout, set a new three-season record for hits during his time
at Cal. It is expected he will be selected in next weeks MLBdraft.

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
nally caught a break again in the NBA draft lot-
tery.
The Warriors stayed in the seventh spot
Wednesday night, just high enough for the fran-
chise to keep its protected lottery pick. Utah
would have taken the pick as part of a previous
trade if Golden State landed outside the top
seven.
Golden State has secured four picks in next
months draft: seventh, 30th, 35th and 52nd
overall.
Now we have the ability to put on the white-
board endless possibilities as to what we can
do, new Warriors general manager Bob Myers
said by phone from New York, where he repre-
sented the team on stage. Its a good feeling.
The New Orleans Hornets moved up from
fourth to win the lottery.
Myers, carrying an Indian token as a good-
luck charm from a casino that sponsors the team,
said he was a lot more nervous than I thought I
would be on stage. Warriors co-owner Peter
Guber also was in the audience.
Golden State had the seventh-worst record at
23-43 and only needed to not fall back.
It was one of those things where you can con-
vince yourself that it was out of your control, but
they played the intense background music, you

SANTA CLARA San Francisco coach Jim
Harbaugh insists the 49ers planned to have Alex
Smith as their quarterback even while they
examined the possibility of signing then-free
agent Peyton Manning.
Harbaugh ended his weekly meeting with
reporters on Wednesday by addressing what he
says is the erroneous perception that we were
irting with Peyton Manning.
Harbaugh called the reports silly and phony,
then spoke at length about his and the teams
ongoing support for Smith, who last season
helped the 49ers reach the playoffs for the rst
time since 2002.
Ive said it all along, Alex Smith has been our
quarterback, Harbaugh said. Theres no sce-
nario other than Alex choos-
ing to sign with another
team that we would have
considered him not as our
quarterback. Its time to set
the record straight.
Alex Smith is our quar-
terback, was our quarter-
back and (we) had every
intention of always bringing
him back.
San Francisco was among a handful of teams
looking at Manning, an 11-time Pro Bowl quar-
terback.

cials ew to North Carolina to watch Manning

MINNEAPOLIS Francisco Liriano needed
a strong start in his return to the Minnesota Twins
rotation. The punchless Oakland Athletics pro-
vided the perfect remedy for the vexing left-han-
ders recent struggles.
Lirianos six shutout innings Wednesday led
the Twins to a 4-0 victory, the eighth straight loss
for the As.
Manager Bob Melvin said hes as frustrated as
ever.
Youve got to give credit to a guy that pitches
well and puts up the numbers that he did, but he
was also 0-5 with an 8 ERA, Melvin said.
Liriano (1-5) retired the last 11 batters he faced
and struck out nine, the most this season by any
Twins pitcher, while lowering his season ERA to
a still-ugly 7.20. He allowed only two walks with
a double and two singles against the worst-hit-
ting team in the majors thats now batting .210.
Would lineup changes help? The manager said
he thinks hes already done what he can with
that.
Are the hitters passively waiting for Yoenis
Cespedes to return from the disabled list and
Manny Ramirez to join the team for the rst
time?
Im certainly not looking. I havent the whole
year. If thats what were doing in there, then
thats my fault. I certainly hope thats not the
case, Melvin said.
Ramirezs 50-game drug suspension expired
Wednesday but was still with Triple-A
Sacramento. Cespedes is expected to join the As
Friday in Kansas City after completing his rehab
assignment for a strained muscle in his left hand.
Josh Willingham had an RBI single and a two-
run homer against his previous team, roughly 15
hours after his three-run shot in the ninth gave
the Twins a dramatic win the night before. This
was their rst sweep of both a home series and a
three-game set this season.
We just lose a little bit of our ght sometimes
when things go in the other direction early on,
and thats not the way weve been, Melvin said.
Starter Tyson Ross (2-6) lasted only ve
innings for the As, who are batting .172 during
this losing streak. Ten times in their last 15
games, theyve scored two runs or fewer.
As slide hits eight
SAN FRANCISCO Paul Goldschmidt hit a
go-ahead homer in the sixth inning to help Ian
Kennedy snap a ve-start losing streak, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a three-game
sweep with a 4-1 victory over the San Francisco
Giants on Wednesday night.
Kennedy (4-5) outdueled Tim Lincecum (2-6)
in a matchup of struggling aces to win for the rst
time in seven starts since beating the Braves on
April 22.
Goldschmidt crushed a 1-0 offering into the left
eld bleachers for his fourth home run of the year
and fourth of his career off Lincecum most by
any opponent against the two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner. Goldschmidt also added an RBI
single in the eighth for an insurance run and Ryan
Roberts also singled in a run.
Melky Cabrera singled in the eighth to nish his
marvelous May with 51 hits, matching Randy
Winns San Francisco record for most hits in a
month set in September 2005. The last player in
baseball with 50 or more hits in a month was Carl
Crawford, with 50 for Tampa Bay in August 2007.
Cabrera smiled as he received a standing ovation
from those still left in the sellout crowd of 41,328.
Lincecum lost his third straight outing and his
winless stretch reached six straight starts since the
right-hander beat San Diego on April 28. He went
0-4 in May for his rst month without a victory
since a career-worst ve-start losing streak in
August 2010.
Lincecum bounced back that year to become the
winning pitcher in the Game 5 World Series
clincher at Texas.
This time, the Giants didnt give him enough
support with more missed chances. San Francisco
had its three-game winning streak snapped as
Arizona ended a four-game skid in the rivalry.
Kennedy extended his winning streak against
the Giants to ve straight starts, and the D-backs
are 6-0 in his last six outings versus San Francisco.
A 21-game winner last season, Kennedy had been
9-0 over his previous 12 starts before this recent
funk.
He struck out seven and walked two in 7 2-3
innings to beat Lincecum for the third straight
time. Kennedy gave up one run on ve hits and has
allowed just four runs in 21 1-3 innings in those
three games facing Lincecum.
David Hernandez recorded the nal four outs
for his rst save in four opportunities.
The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead in the sec-
ond on right elder Gregor Blancos elding error.
He caught Roberts y, then bobbled the ball and
dropped it while trying to move it into his throw-
ing hand in order to re to home and prevent a sac-
rice y. Miguel Montero held up but wound up
scoring on the misplay.

Dodgers Kemp reinjures hamstring
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles Dodgers
center elder Matt Kemp has left Wednesday
nights game against the Milwaukee Brewers
after apparently re-injuring the left hamstring
that kept him out of the lineup for two weeks.
Playing his second game since coming off
the disabled list, Kemp walked in the rst
inning and came all the way around on a two-
out double to left-center by Andre Ethier.
Kemp was replaced in the eld by Tony
Gwynn Jr. in the second.
Monday night, Kemp was 1 for 4 with a
ninth-inning double. He is batting .355 with
12 homers and 28 RBIs in 36 games. Last sea-
son, he hit .324 with 39 homers and 126 RBIs
both career bests and nished runner-up
to Milwaukees Ryan Braun in the NL MVP

Baseball brief
By Tom Canavan
NEWARK, N.J. Anze Kopitar scored a
spectacular goal on a breakaway with 11:47
left in overtime Wednesday night and the Los
Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1
in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Kopitar faked a backhand shot, put the puck
on his forehand and beat a prone Martin
Brodeur.
Los Angeles has won all nine of its road
games in the playoffs, an NHL record. The
Kings are now one win shy of the NHL record
for postseason road victories.
More importantly, they are three wins away
from the franchises rst NHL title. They have
won 11 consecutive road playoff games dating
back to last season.
Colin Fraser scored in the rst period for the
Kings, the No. 8 seed in the Western
Conference who beat the top three teams to get
to their rst Stanley Cup Finals since 1993.
Anton Volchenkov tied it late in the second
period for New Jersey, the Easts sixth seed.
Kopitar took a pass by Justin Williams from
along the left wing boards and skated in alone
on Brodeur. As soon as he ried the puck into
the net, he raised his hands and banged himself
into the boards, facing the crowd off to
Brodeurs right.
The veteran goaltender dejectedly skated off
to the locker room as the rest of the Kings
piled on Kopitar.
Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick nished
with 17 saves in what was a relatively easy
night. Brodeur had 23 saves as the Devils lost
in overtime for just the second time this post-
season; they have won four times. LA is 3-0 in
overtime this spring.
The Devils had two great chances to take the
lead early in the third period, and for a split
second it appeared they went ahead with 16:02
to play in regulation when Zach Parise scored
off a wild goal-mouth scramble.
While the horns went off and the fans cele-
brated, referee Dan OHalloran quickly waved
off the goal.
It was reviewed in Toronto and replay clear-
ly showed Parise swept the puck into the net
with his hand.
Defenseman Mark Fayne was probably
kicking himself six minutes later when he
missed a wide-open net from the edge of the
crease in what was the Devils best period of
the night.
The Kings had their chances, too, with
Brodeur making two outstanding saves about
10 seconds apart. He made a stacked-pad save
on a one-timer by defenseman Drew Doughty
from 30 feet after a drop pass from Mike
Richards. A turnover seconds later set up
Dustin Penner for a shot from the left circle.
The Kings came into the nals after steam-
rolling the top three seeds in the Western
Conference in just 14 games, and they made
the Devils look ordinary in the rst 40 minutes,
holding them to nine shots.
But a uke goal by Volchenkov tied the
game with 1:12 left in the second.
Kings remain hot
By Tim Reynolds
MIAMI The biggest postseason come-
back in Miami Heat franchise history wasnt
enough.
The Heat needed more and got it, dig-
ging deep to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern
Conference nals.
LeBron James scored 34 points and grabbed
10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 23 and the
Heat rallied from 15 down to beat the Boston
Celtics 115-111 in overtime on Wednesday
night.
Mario Chalmers scored 22 for the Heat,
who won despite an unbelievable night by
Rajon Rondo. The Celtics guard played all 53
minutes and scored 44 points, dished out 10
assists and grabbed eight rebounds.
Paul Pierce scored 21 points, Kevin Garnett
added 18 and Ray Allen 13 for Boston.
Allens 3-pointer with 34.3 seconds left tied
the game at 99-all. James missed two shots,
rst a layup he got the rebound of his own
miss and then a jumper on the nal posses-
sion of regulation, and to overtime they went.
Game 3 is Friday in Boston.
The Heat had come back from 14 points
down in playoff games twice before, rst in
Game 6 of the 2006 NBA nals their title
clincher and again last season against
Philadelphia.
And this one was slipping away, more than
once. James also two free throws 21 seconds
into overtime, and Miami looked in trouble.
The scoring dossier in overtime began like
this: Rondo scored, Heat tied it, Rondo
scored, Heat tied it, Rondo scored, Heat tied
it.
When Rondo missed a layup with 1:33 left,
Miami took advantage, with Udonis Haslem
getting a dunk to put the Heat up 105-103.
And after a turnover on the next Boston pos-
session, Wade drove the lane, hit the deck and
watched as his layup bounced on the rim and
dropped through.
Garnett stood over Wade and glared, to no
avail. Wade hit the free throw, and Miami was
up 110-105 with 59.7 seconds left.
On a night where the Heat missed 16 free
throws including at least four by James in
crucial situations they would survive.
Miami was down by 15 in the rst half and
by as many as 11 in the third quarter, before a
pair of 3-pointers by James started a come-
back. Wade made consecutive jumpers mid-
way through the third to shake off a slow start
to his night and get the Heat within three both
times, and the 2006 NBA nals MVP set up
Haslem for a three-point play with 2:55 left
that gave Miami its rst lead since the opening
minutes, 73-71.
As Haslems shot dropped, Wade spun at
midcourt and punched the air. More highlights
followed.

LANDOVER, Md. Neymar
converted a penalty kick and assist-
ed on goals by defenders Thiago
Silva and Marcelo as Brazil took
advantage of a sloppy American
backline to beat the United States 4-
1 in an exhibition game Wednesday
night.
Neymar, the 20-year-old Santos
sensation, put Brazil ahead in the
12th minute after a hand ball on
Oguchi Onyewu, then took a corner
kick that Thiago Silva headed in for
his rst international goal in the
26th.
Herculez Gomez, making his rst
start for the U.S. since the 2010
World Cup, scored in the 45th fol-
lowing a fine run by Michael
Bradley and cross by Fabian
Johnson.
But before an enthusiastic crowd
of 67,619 at FedEx Field, Marcelo
restored the two-goal lead in the
52nd as Onyewu and American cap-
tain Carlos Bocanegra left him
unmarked in front of the net.
Second-half sub Alexandre Pato
added a goal in the 87th.
The 29th-ranked Americans,
coming off a 5-1 win over Scotland
last weekend, had difculty coping
with the pace of the ve-time World
Cup champions.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann contin-
ued to tinker with his front line
because Jozy Altidore didnt arrive
until Monday, and Clint Dempsey is
recovering from a groin strain.
Dempsey entered in the 57th
minute, marking the rst time he
played with Landon Donovan since
Klinsmann replaced Bob Bradley as
coach last July.
Following a 1-4-1 start under
Klinsmann, the Americans had won
ve in a row, including an impres-
sive 1-0 victory at Italy. But the time
for experimenting under the former
German national team star and
coach is nearing an end. The U.S.
plays at Canada on Sunday, then
opens qualifying for the 2014 World
Cup on June 8 against Antigua and
Barbuda.
That opponent, of course, doesnt
resemble sixth-ranked Brazil in any
way.
Brazil, which receives an auto-
matic berth as the 2014 World Cup
host, improved to 16-1 against the
U.S. with a 35-11 goal difference.
The Selecao used a young roster as
they prepare for the Olympics,
which is limited to players under 23
plus three older players.
Neymar scored against the U.S. in
his national team debut two years
ago. He took the penalty kick after
the hand ball call on Leandro
Damiaos shot went off Onyewu,
the tall defender who was benched
after two games at the 2010 World
Cup, but regained his form this sea-
son with Sporting Lisbon. American
goalkeeper Tim Howard dived to his
right but Neymar sent the ball the
other way for his ninth international
goal.

really an assistant head coach who was
Ballards right-hand man. He said he and
Holden discussed all aspects of the football
program with each other.
With all the major decisions, we always
discussed them together, Ballard said.
Ballard said he received a few coaching
applications when the job was rst posted, but
being Holden is a special education teacher on
the Half Moon Bay campus, he all but had the
right of rst refusal on the head coaching
position. On-campus teachers interested in
coaching are given rst opportunity when
head coaching positions open up at Peninsula
Athletic League schools.
Hes on campus. Thats a huge thing,
Ballard said. Its a luxury in the PAL to have
an assistant on campus.
During his tenure as the Cougars offensive
coordinator, Half Moon Bay has averaged
26.5 points per game, utilizing a power run-
ning game and, in recent seasons, coupled that
with a scrum-option attack. From 2008 to
2010, the Cougars averaged more than 33
points per game.
Hes more than prepared (to take over the
head coaching chores), Ballard said. I want
to leave (the program) in the best hands.
With Keith, we clearly did that. Before I even
made the decision to go to Redondo, I asked
him if he would take the job (at Half Moon
Bay).

COACH
The season-nale series was a monumental
one for Renda on the other side of the ball as
well. It marks the rst series of his college
career in which he has played entirely as a
shortstop. After debuting at the position May
19 against UCLA, he earned the starting nod
for all three games at Sunken Diamond.
Delno emerges
Rendas move to shortstop allowed him to
close the year playing along side his old pla-
toon partner Delfino, who anchored the
defense at third base throughout Cals nal
ve games. A natural third baseman, Delno
split time at rst this season after regular rst
baseman Devon Rodriguez was lost to a sea-
son-ending injury at the outset of the year.
On the heals of Renda capturing 2011 Pac-
10 Player of the Year honors, Delno who
was named a Pac-12 All-Conference Team
honorable mention as a rst baseman this sea-
son emerged as Cals top hitter in 2012.
I denitely had to work at it, said Delno
of his offensive success. I think Ive gone
through seven or eight different batting
stances since Ive been here. Its all about try-
ing to get my swing as quick as I can to the
ball. Sometimes I tend to get a little long. So,
I had a lot of off-day Monday work with (Cal
hitting coach) Tony Arnerich.
After lowering his hands at the outset of his
freshman season to get shorter to the ball,
Delno has worked his way back to a high-
hands set which catalyzed his success. As a
part-time player his freshman year, Delno
was synonymous with being a strong defend-
er at the hot corner, but managed to hit .315
in 73 at bats. As an everyday third baseman
last season he hit at a moderate .260 clip.
This year Ive stayed with the same stance
all year, and felt comfortable with it, Delno
said. We found something that worked and
stuck with it.
Thanks to his new approach, the
Cloverdale native stepped out of the wood-
work, pacing the team in batting average
(.355) and slugging percentage (.485), rank-
ing second in hits (71) and RBIs (38), and
tying for second with sophomore Andrew
Knapp in home runs (5).
Swapping positions
As freshmen, Renda and Delno started
their Cal careers in a veritable platoon at third
base. At Serra, Renda played his rst two sea-
sons at the hot corner, before moving to short-
stop as a senior. When he arrived at Cal, he
quickly earned the starting nod at third.
That was the year of the old bats, Renda
said. Balls are coming at you at 110 miles per
hour. It was a crazy, crazy, crazy position.
After Renda made ve errors in Cals rst
21 games of 2010, however, Delno began
seeing most of the playing time at third, with
Renda being utilized as a DH.
It was one of those things, I just didnt per-
form well, Renda said. I could see it. [Cal
manager Dave Esquer] could see it.
Everybody could see it. There needed to be a
change at third base if we wanted to be the
team that we wanted to be. Thats where
Mitch came in. He just locked down third
base and gave us what we needed.
Conference struggles doomed Cal
Make no mistake, though. Renda is as tough
as the come. Having been dedicated to the
craft of hitting since he was a kid, his hand
strength seems to belie his 5-8 stature. One of
the reasons he has developed hands of steel is
by virtue of never using batting gloves. His
renegade approach stands out as an anomaly,
especially during batting practice.
Every year when we get back here, we all
have blisters on our hands from how much hit-
ting we do in the fall, and callous them up,
Delno said. I think his are just naturally cal-
loused.
With Renda and Delfino among the
upwards of seven Cal players likely to be
drafted next week, so ends the era of the
Cinderella Golden Bears squad. Last year, Cal
went from having its baseball program being
cancelled at the outset of the season, to ulti-
mately raising $10 million to force the school
to reinstate it, to advancing to Omaha to play
in the programs sixth College World Series.
This season wasnt nearly as magical.
Despite the Bears entering into Pac-12 play
with an 11-4 overall record, they scufed in
conference by dropping three of their rst four
series, then getting swept twice down the
stretch. Their struggles culminated in an 11-
15 conference record, and an eighth-place n-
ish in the Pac-12.
We came into the year with very high
expectations, Delno said. We had a lot of
starters coming back in our lineup. We lost a
couple pitchers. We lost our shortstop. We
knew that we needed to play good defense
behind our pitchers to do what we wanted to
do, and we didnt do that. Its hard to pitch
well when you dont have good defense
behind you. Thats where I feel we struggled
the most this year. It was very frustrating.
Five teams from the Pac-12 qualied for
postseason play: Arizona, Oregon, Oregon
State, Stanford, and UCLA. The regional
round begins Friday, with Stanford hosting
Fresno State, Michigan State, and Pepperdine
in round-robin play.

season, and it drove me nuts, was how many
outelders I saw who, on balls hit their way,
took a step in before breaking back on the
ball. My baseball career ended after two
years of Little League, but even I know the
rst move any outelder is to make on balls
hit to them is a step back and then come in.
That rst step toward the ineld invariably
dooms the outelder to have the ball sail
over his head for an extra base.
Menlo School manager Craig Schoof
believes the proliferation of travel teams, all-
star squads and private tutors and coaches
have affected how kids learn to play the
game. They learn how to throw, run and hit,
but the nuances of the game play are not
being transferred.
With travel ball and private tutors, [kids]
dont know how to play the game anymore,
said Schoof, who wrapped up his 25th sea-
son with the Knights program. I dont think
[outelders] take enough y balls off bats.
Many summer league coaches stress hav-
ing fun, while travel-ball teams tend to focus
on results. A lot of kids spend countless
hours working with individual coaches on
the mechanics of the game, but the lack of
quality playing time and preparation is
degrading the quality of play.
In my 30-odd years (coaching), Ive
changed, Schoof said. I used to teach a lot
of the individual skills. Now Im teaching
a lot more on how to play the game all the
things we used to pick up playing (the
game).
Maybe it was just a down year for outeld-
ers or I just happened to be in attendance
when a particular player had a bad day
but the quality of play appeared to degrade a
bit this season, which I hope doesnt become
a trend.
***
Now compare the abysmal outeld play to
that of San Benito softball player Ellie
Burley, who had a Bad News Bears type
game Saturday against Carlmont in the
Central Coast Section Division I champi-
onship.
Remember in the championship game of
the Bad News Bears, when the Bears took
on the Yankees for the championship, and the
Bears manager told center elder Kelly Leak
to make all the plays he could? Thats what
Burley did from the centereld position.
It was impressive to watch. Not only did
she make all the plays from her position, she
also chased down a ball in left eld, cutting
in front of the left elder to do so. She ran
down a yball in the right-center eld gap, as
well as making plays a few steps behind the
shortstop.
In essence, she did it all in the eld. She
wasnt too shabby at the plate either, going 3
for 4 with two RBIs, two singles, a bunt for a
hit and a walk, while scoring three runs in
the process from the leadoff spot.

look around the room and theres suspense
and a palpable tension in there thats hard to
overcome, said Myers, promoted from assis-
tant GM last month. My heart was beating
pretty fast. Once I saw Torontos name come
up (at eighth), at that point, any outcome was
going to be acceptable to us.
Not so much for Utah.
As part of last years trade that sent Deron
Williams to New Jersey, the Jazz wouldve
acquired the rst-round pick that originally
belonged to Golden State. Utah also lost its
own rst-round pick to Minnesota as part of
the trade that netted Al Jefferson in 2010. If
the Jazz had not made the playoffs, where the
team was swept by San Antonio, they would
have retained that pick.
It wasnt all bad news for the Jazz. They still
have another chance to grab Golden States
rst-round pick next year (again top-seven
protected) and in 2014 (top-six protected).
The Warriors were long overdue for a
change of fortune.
The last time Golden State moved up in the
draft lottery was in 1995, when it selected
Marylands Joe Smith with the No. 1 overall
pick. The team has now stayed where it was
slotted or fallen back in the 15 lotteries it has
been in since.
This time, staying put was cause for cele-
bration.
Great news that we have the (hash)7 pick!
Warriors coach Mark Jackson immediately
wrote on his Twitter account.
The Warriors needed a late-season slide and
a bit of luck just to be in this position.
Golden State lost 17 of its nal 20 games
and won a coin ip last month to break a tie
with Toronto, which also nished 23-43, mov-
ing up to the seventh spot and dramatically
improving the teams odds of staying there.
The Warriors had a 72.6 percent chance of
keeping the No. 7 pick, 12.6 percent chance of
moving up and 3.6 percent chance of winning
the lottery.
In medieval times, you had to run a gaunt-
let, Myers said. Its almost like you had to
run a gauntlet to end up where we are.
The Warriors also own San Antonios rst-
round pick (30th overall) acquired in a
trade this season for Richard Jefferson in
exchange for Stephen Jackson and a pair of
second-round selections. Myers said he does
not expect the team to draft four rookies,
opening the possibility he will use its stock-
pile of picks to trade up in the rst round.
If not, the seventh spot has worked out well
for Golden State in the past.
Hall of Famer Chris Mullin (1985) and
Stephen Curry (2009) and Tom Meschery
(1961) were all selected seventh by the fran-
chise. North Carolinas Tyler Zeller, Ohio
States Jared Sullinger and Baylors Perry
Jones are among the most likely possibilities
available at that spot.
The draft is June 28 in Newark, N.J.
WARRIORS
work out on the Duke campus.
Manning chose the Denver Broncos, telephon-
ing Harbaugh personally to inform him of his
decision.
Harbaugh, though, said the 49ers were only
examining Manning and that their interest in him
didnt go much further than that.
Smith, who met briey with the Miami
Dolphins, wound up signing a three-year, $33
million contract to remain in San Francisco only
a few days after Manning
agreed to a $96 million, ve-
year contract with the
Broncos.
Were we out there see-
ing, evaluating if we could
have them both? Heck
yeah, Harbaugh said. You
evaluate that, you eliminate
the possibility. We would
not have given any player
out there in free agency a sixth of our salary cap
and let six or seven of our own guys go.
Hopefully, that sets the record straight. You dont
have to keep reporting the silliness or phoniness.
There was interest (in Manning) and we eval-
uated it, pursued it, further
evaluated it and there was
conversations. But there was
nothing said to Alex that
was not said to Peyton
Manning or in house here,
on the record or off the
record. Both those young
men knew exactly what our
intentions were.
Smith was caught off-
guard when asked about the
topic Wednesday, something he rst talked about
when he signed his new contract in late March.
Yeah a little bit, a little surprised, said Smith,
grinning.
Smith, the rst overall pick in the 2005 NFL
draft, had completed practice and was working
out with a few teammates in the 49ers on-eld
weight room when Harbaugh made his com-
ments. The 49ers coach later walked over and
knelt beside Smith, who smiled as the two men
spoke.
Coach Harbaugh, from the day Ive been
here, has been completely honest, Smith said. I
certainly felt like this was my job to compete for,
no question. I feel like what we accomplished
last year that I deserved that.
Smith said the team had been upfront with him
regarding its intentions with Manning and that
the two sides remained in contact throughout the
entire process.

DAILY DOOR BUSTERS THROUGH OUT THE STORE
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
The sound of running water is sooth-
ing to the mind and the spirit. It relaxes
you, but also masks the intrusion of
unwanted street noise, overhead air-
plane trafc and the like.
A fountain makes a wonderful addi-
tion to any garden, and there are numer-
ous options in all sizes on the market
today. A DIY store will provide plenty
of choices, but can also supply all the
materials you need to make your own.
Traditionally, bamboo fountains are
placed outside Japanese shrines for wor-
shippers to wash their hands before
entering. This elegant yet durable mate-
rial is the perfect choice for making a
small garden fountain suitable for any
home.
Materials:
Submersible fountain pump with
adjustable ow and 6-inch piece of 1/2-
inch exible tubing (see Notes)
Half a whiskey barrel or a large
glazed ceramic pot (see Notes)
Rubber stopper (optional)
One piece of 1-inch diameter bamboo
pole measuring about 3 feet long
One piece of 1/2-inch diameter bam-
boo pole measuring about 8-12 inches
long
Clear waterproof caulk
Bricks (enough to hold fountain pump
and pots in place)
Two terracotta or glazed pots (optional)
Glass mulch or decorative stones
Aquatic plants (optional)
Tools:
5/8-inch ship auger bit (typically
about 1 foot to 1 foot 3 inches of drilling
length)
Bit the diameter of smaller bamboo
pole, approximately 1/2 inch
Paddle bit that matches exterior diam-
eter of the 2 foot 3 inch bamboo piece
(see Notes)
1/4-inch drill bit or a rat-tail le
Miter saw or handsaw
Utility knife
Notes:
Select a pump that will power a foun-
tain with a maximum height of 3 feet 6
inches.
If you use a large glazed ceramic pot,
choose one without a drainage hole, or
plug the hole with a rubber stopper or
caulk it closed.
Bamboo is a natural material, and its
diameter varies. The paddle bit should
have a diameter about 3/8 inch less than
the diameter of the bamboo.
Be careful to choose plants that will
not mind the movement a fountain cre-
ates. Some plants, such as water lilies,
prefer to grow in calm water, while oth-
ers, such as water irises, grow well in
moving water.
Directions:
With a miter saw or handsaw, cut the
1-inch diameter bamboo pole down to
27 inches to 30 inches. The pole should
be cut so that a node in the bamboo is
close to one end. This end will become
the top. The node will block the water
from owing out the top of the fountain.
The other nodes should be reachable
from the bottom end of the bamboo with
the ship auger bit. Drill out these nodes
with the ship auger bit.
Cut the 1/2-inch diameter bamboo
pole to a length of 6 inches. If there is
any pulp inside the piece, use a 1/4-inch
drill bit or rat-tail le to remove the pulp
so that water ow is not restricted.
Cut one end of the 6-inch piece at a
45-degree angle for the waterspout.
With bit matching the outside diame-
ter of 1/2-inch diameter piece of bam-
boo, drill a hole into the side of the long
1-inch diameter pole. The hole should
be centered on the 1-inch diameter bam-
boo and drilled perpendicular to the
length of the 1-inch diameter pole.
Slip the at end of the 1/2-inch diam-
eter bamboo pole into the hole. Use
clear caulking to seal the hole. Set aside
and allow to dry following manufactur-
ers instructions.
Slip tubing into the bottom of the 1-
inch bamboo pole as far as it will go.
Cut exible tubing off with a utility
knife, leaving 1/4 inch protruding from
the end of the bamboo pole. Slip the
pumps adapter into the end of the tub-
ing to join pole to pump.
Set the pole and pump into barrel or

Hoffman, 64, said his room-
mate had been demeaning him the
last couple weeks ... and he just
snapped and whacked the guy,
friend Greg Bailey testified yester-
day during a preliminary hearing
after which Hoffman was ordered
to stand trial for murder.
Bailey said he offered to check
if the roommate, later identified as
Joseph Cosentino, was possibly
knocked unconscious rather than
deceased but that Hoffman
declined.
He said, No, that hed whacked
him, then whacked him some
more, Bailey said.
Cosentino, 70, died from multi-
ple blows to the head, including
one that left a 3- to 4-inch hole in
the back of his skull, said
Burlingame police Detective Steve
Vega who discovered the body
Dec. 8, 2011 in the Garden Drive
apartment after Bailey reported
Hoffmans claims.
Police never recovered a murder
weapon but forensic pathologist
Dr. Tom Rogers indicated a club or
mallet and Bailey said he recalled
Cosentino saying he used a club.
Vega said Cosentinos wounds
were extremely severe but there
was no signs of a struggle inside
the spartan living area.
Cosentinos body was face down
and covered with comforter-like
blankets. An air freshener four feet
away on a kitchen counter inter-
mittently sprayed fragrance toward
him. Under cross-examination,
Vega said he didnt know if the
freshener was motion-activated or
had been spraying consistently.
Vega also said Hoffmans orderly
bedroom contained no bed and the
rest of the house smelled heavily
of smoke. The green shag carpet
was unclean and the walls and
window sills appeared to have had
items removed, Vega said.
The two men met at CVS/phar-
macy and the neighboring
American Bull Bar and Grill and
Hoffman moved in with Cosentino
in August 2011. A 14-year-old girl
who lives in the same apartment
complex told police she last saw
Cosentino the afternoon of Dec. 5,
2011. Two days later, Bailey said
Hoffman, who he saw weekly at
the flea market and considered a
social but not close friend, arrived
at his home to repay a $750 loan.
Hoffman seemed very distraught
and had kind of a blank look on
his face and just looked real
depressed, Bailey testified.
Bailey said he asked Hoffman
what was wrong and he mumbled
then said something like youll
see it on TV. Hoffman finally
admitted killing his roommate two
or three days later and said he took
a bus to Reno but immediately
turned around and headed to
Baileys home in San Francisco, he
testified.
Bailey said he urged Hoffman to
surrender but wanted time to think
and believed once caught hed
never see daylight again. Bailey
went to Burlingame police Dec. 8
and called Hoffman who was by
then in Southern California.
Authorities would later trace
Hoffman to a Glendale hotel room
and he directed them back to his
apartment and Cosentinos body.
During their conversation,
Bailey said Hoffman asked him if
the crime had been discovered yet
and assured his friend he wouldnt
harm himself.
He said he couldnt kill himself
two weeks ago so thats why he
killed the guy, Bailey said.
Hoffman remains in custody
without bail. He returns to court
June 14 to enter a Superior Court
plea and set a jury trial date.

When you choose
an Insurance Agent
you should expect Peace and Security not Catasrophe
and Financial ruin. All Insurance Agents are
NOT created Equally!
M
any Homeowners believe that all Insurance Agents provide
the same services. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Many Insurance Agents Over-Insure their customers in order to
make a larger commission; others Under-Insure, in order to offer
a sellable lower price.
Homeowners need to have the right coverage or they end up ling
claims that are not covered by their insurance plan, or pay for
insurance they dont need. Thats why you need a proven expert.
All Home Pros screens local Insurance Agents in order to nd the
best of the best. We work with many companies but we hand pick
each individual Agent based on their knowledge, integrity and
attention to detail. You can rest assured that your family and your
assets are protected and your service is top of the line.
When choosing a reliable and outstanding Insurance Agent or
Broker, Trust the Pros, All Home Pros-Because you deserve the best.

By Diana Marzalek
Once a week, Diane Foernssler takes arms
against the dust that invades her Darien, Ill.,
home, using everything from the vacuum
cleaner to a special mop for blinds and base-
boards.
On those other six days, however, the dust
wins.
Its everywhere and it never goes away,
says Foernssler, a tness trainer and mother of
two. Its a losing battle.
Unfortunately, shes right.
Experts say dusts constant accumulation
on all those books, clothes and knickknacks
has nothing to do with poor housekeeping. Its
a naturally and continually forming collection
of some pretty gross stuff.
It has nothing to do with being dirty, says
Dr. William Berger, a Mission Viejo, Calif.,
allergist and author of Asthma and Allergies
for Dummies. You can leave your house
closed for two or three weeks and come back
and there will be dust.
A whole lot of it. According to Berger, the
average six-room home in the United States
collects 40 pounds of dust each year.
The main contributors to all that indoor dust
are microscopic dust mites; the breakdown of
bers from household fabrics and furniture;
and human and animal dander (the nice name
for skin akes).
The dust mites, which have a taste for
human skin, come in countless numbers in
your bedding alone, let alone other spots
around the house, Berger said. Getting rid of
them is impossible; Females lay 20 to 50 eggs
every three weeks.
Dust and dust mites are a large part of
indoor air pollution, a leading environmen-
tal health risk primarily because people
spend about 90 percent of their time indoors,
according to Molly Hooven, a spokeswoman
for the Environmental Protection Agency.
Dust and dust mites can trigger asthma attacks
and allergies.
There are, therefore, reasons for keeping
dust to a minimum that are far more important
than maintaining appearances, the spokesper-
son says.
So while eradicating dust altogether may be
a pipe dream, there are steps you can take to
mitigate its accumulation in your home.
The rst is the same old trick that shows up
on housekeeping tip sheets again and again:
Get Rid of All That Stuff.
The more clutter there is the more dust
there is, Berger says. Things like books,
clothing and toys such as stuffed animals are
prime collectors of dust, he says. So are the
pennants and posters kids like to hang on their
walls.
Berger suggests concentrating dust-ghting
efforts on bedrooms, since we spend about
one-third of our lives asleep.
The bedroom should be as bare as possi-
ble, Berger says. That means having an
uncarpeted oor, minimal furniture and only
the current seasons clothes in the closet.
For walls, using paint that can be cleaned
with water is helpful. So are HEPA (short for
High-Efciency Particulate Arresting) air l-
ters.
Occasionally using those old standbys a
vacuum and a can of Endust also provides
at least temporary relief, Berger says.
But if youre looking to keep allergens, not
just unsightliness, at bay, Berger suggests pro-
tecting yourself even more. Encase mattress-
es, box springs and pillows in allergy proof
covers.
With summer approaching, Berger recom-
mends air conditioning over fans, which sim-
ply blow dust around. (Remember to change
air-conditioner lters.)
Jack DiBiccari, a New Rochelle, N.Y., con-
tractor, is rarely if ever fazed by what he
nds lurking in peoples hidden corners and
behind furniture that hasnt been moved in
years.
Its heavy, DiBiccari says. How often is
someone going to move a king-size bed?
Forget it.
DiBiccari says he tries not to add to the
problem, using vacuums with HEPA lters,
wiping up dust and protecting things like
newly lacquered furniture before calling it
quits for the day.

released yesterday also calls for cutting
$1.1 million from Information Services,
$1.1 million by eliminating a re engine
company at Tower Road and $2.7 million
in San Mateo Medical Center cutbacks
unrelated to Burlingame Long-Term Care.
Maltbie is pushing a ve-year, multi-
pronged attack to keep a balanced budget
and battle against a structural decit that
includes union concessions and the
assumption a trio of tax measures on the
June ballot will pass. The budget also
assumes labor negotiations will end in
agreements with lower salaries and bene-
t costs.
However, Maltbie said the tactics are
not enough and calls for a fundamental
restructuring of the countys organiza-
tion.
We have taken great steps toward
improving our efciency and targeting our
services more effectively than ever before.
Still, we cannot escape certain cutbacks
due to the many demands placed on our
organization, Maltbie said in a prepared
statement.
Maltbie said the county can no longer
assume that business as usual will contin-
ue working or that nancial help will
come from the state or federal govern-
ments.
I am convinced that the only way for-
ward is to remake the organization in a
way that will provide nancial stability
and exibility to meet the uncertainties
ahead of us, Maltbie said.
The Board of Supervisors next month
will hold its annual week of preliminary
budget hearings and formally adopt the
budget in late September.
The budgets jump from $1.756 billion
currently to $1.836 billion in the upcom-
ing scal year is attributed to a number of
capital projects include:
$44.2 million for the rst planning and
construction phase of a 576-bed jail;
$9.7 million for tenant and seismic
improvements to Circle Star South which
will house county departments including
911 dispatch;
$2 million for Alpine Trail
improvements between Menlo Park
and Portola Valley; and
$2 million to take over care of the
Devils Slide trail once the Highway 1
bypass tunnel opens.
The budget also adds in millions of dol-
lars in additional funding including $2.7
million in public safety realignment,
$17.1 million to close Burlingame Long-
Term Care and move clients, $3.4 million
to provide sheriffs patrol services to the
city of Millbrae and $1.5 million in nego-
tiated salary and benet increases. The
last addition is primarily step increases for
certain employees and negotiated raises
for nurses.
This years budget is considered a
breather from drastic cuts, giving depart-
ments a chance to focus on sustainable
balancing plans rather than trimming their
bottom line based on a desired reduction
percentage.
The entire recommended budget is
available at www.smcgov.org/budget and
the County Managers Ofce, 400 County
Center, Redwood City.
The preliminary budget hearings begin
9 a.m. Monday, June 18 in Board
Chambers, 400 County Center, Redwood
City.
BUDGET
which Smith said has the longest history
of being disturbed and utilized for indus-
trial purposes over the last century. DMB
was already looking a scaled-down pro-
posal but also used public input over the
last six years to reframe its vision for the
former salt production site, Smith said.
Specic numbers on housing units
havent been penciled out but Smith said
the smaller plan should still be able to
deliver previously promised transit and
parks. Sports elds will have smaller
acreage and more of the site would be
available for environmental restoration
and wetland re-creation, he said.
The consolidated plan may also affect
regulatory approval. DMB believes the
area within the perimeter does not fall
under federal jurisdiction but Smith said
that is why the developers are asking
sooner rather than later. The agencies
could agree, they could focus on areas
DMB isnt seeing or maybe they point out
areas the plan can outright avoid, he said.
We think it makes greater sense to call
the question now, Smith said.
In 2009, DMB asked for a preliminary
jurisdictional determination on the 50-50
plan but that did not require the develop-
ers to agree the agencies had authority.
Instead, they acted as though it was a
hypothetical to assess what a permit might
look like without actually seeking an of-
cial ruling. David Lewis, executive direc-
tor of Save the Bay, which opposes any
development at the site, said the request
shows DMB is just not listening or not
liking the answers.
The federal agencies make determina-
tions based on the land, not the plan, so
even an altered proposal should return the
same conclusion, Lewis said.
Im concerned that theyre not listen-
ing when the community says it doesnt
like the project and not listening when
agencies say they have jurisdiction over
the site, Lewis.
Redwood City Neighbors United, a
group formed in response to the proposal
also urged DMB to respect the commu-
nitys vision and stop wasting time and
resources on entertaining a project that is
both unnecessary and inappropriate.
Earlier this month, DMB formally with-
drew its 50-50 Balanced Plan as the City
Council announced plans to deny the proj-
ect because it had sat for three years with-
out the description necessary to complete
the application and nish environmental
reviews. Formally denying the proposal
freed the city from time-consuming and
costly functions like responding to con-
stant public inquiries, polls, petitions and
numerous other efforts for and against the
controversial development idea, according
to city ofcials. Smith said the public buzz
around with the withdrawal was unfound-
ed as the 50-50 plan had been all but for-
mally withdrawn by that point and they
were working on the new footprint.
I dont mean to diminish what the city
has done. It was A-OK but it didnt really
alter what we were on the path to do, he
said.
DMB
to learn. Learning doesnt need to come in
the form of a traditional classroom. A
child learning English, for example, bene-
ts from continuing to be able to practice
it, said Masur.
This summer, the Boys & Girls Clubs of
the Peninsula will have Summer
Academies at a number of school sites and
the Clubhouse locations. Children will
have access to lessons in math, science,
literature and the ability to explore an
elective in the afternoon, said Fox.
Students also participate in eld trips.
High school and college volunteers help
hired staff work with students in smaller
groups.
Fox enjoys having college students
work with students since it introduces the
youngsters to college, the types of col-
leges available and the idea of leaving
home to pursue education.
Fox has noticed a benet for teachers
who teach during the summer. Many are
able to make connections with students
who will be in their classes in the fall. In
addition, teachers are given more freedom
in creating curriculum, which could be
used down the road. Alternatively, some
teachers have the chance to explore a topic
in which they have a credential but may
not get to teach during the school year.
Making relationships with those teach-
ers also helps with after-school programs
offered throughout the year, said Fox.
Teachers get to know those who will be
leading the after-school activities and are
often willing to share more information so
everyone can support the childs needs,
she said.
Six Redwood City school campuses
will also be home to programs through the
citys Park and Recreation Department
this summer, said Parks & Recreation
Coordinator Adilah Haqq-Smith. Summer
programs offer literacy support and recre-
ation activities. Other camps offer chil-
dren a chance to really explore one topic
like wildlife or, for preschool age stu-
dents, an introduction to what the school
day will be like. Academic enrichment is
worked into all kinds of activities, Haqq-
Smith said. Even while dribbling a ball,
for example, a child could practice count-
ing, she said.
The camps also offer an opportunity for
teens to gain job experience and leader-
ship training. Those who go through the
leadership program help during the sum-
mer. Haqq-Smith treats the teens like any
other employee. A number of the Parks
and Recreation staff participated in the
leadership program previously, she said.

KIDS
THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be very selective with
whom you associate and what activities you plan to
engage in. Your enjoyment of your day will be derived
from quality, not quantity.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make every effort to
resolve any family differences as soon as possible.
Unsettled disputes may be diffcult to resolve, but
theyll be even more so as time wears on.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You could be overwhelmed
by praise regarding something you accomplished.
The accolades will be sincere appreciations of your
unusual and impressive feat.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The reason why so many
things are coming your way at this time is because
you innately understood one of the worlds best
secrets: In order to get, you must frst give.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The major reason youll
be able to succeed where others are failing is because
you will not get discouraged if things dont immedi-
ately go your way. Never be afraid to try, try again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If and when you
choose to apply yourself, you can easily manage your
fnancial or commercial matters with considerable
skill. Instead of handing the reins to another, give it a
go on your own.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Friends or associ-
ates will be looking to you to take charge of a matter
that affects all of you. You wont want to let them
down -- so be sure to step up.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although the
general drift of things might initially look to be going
against you, dont give up too quickly. Chances are
events will change in your favor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Doing everything
all by yourself could grow increasingly untenable
as your day progresses. Try to fnd an amicable
companion with whom you can share both your time
and interests.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make as many adjust-
ments as you want to all situations that havent been
running smoothly lately. Conditions can always be
altered to produce what youd like.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Draw upon previously
successful techniques regarding a partnership mat-
ter, and you should come out ahead. Past knowledge
can be a helpful guide in facing the present.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Responsibilities youre
dodging because you believe them to be a lot of work
arent likely to dissipate with time. The sooner you get
them over with, the fewer headaches theyll give you.

NATION/WORLD
By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

This is not a good time to be a
duck with a fatty liver in California,
though better times are just ahead.
Chefs are loading their high-end
menus with duck liver: Terrine de
foie gras, seared foie gras with
mango chutney, foie gras salad and
sweet foie gras for dessert.
And they are keeping secret the
locations of their multi-course din-
ners to avoid protesters as a July 1
ban looms in California, the only
state to outlaw foie gras.
Demand for the delicacy created
by force-feeding ducks through fun-
nel-like tubes has never been higher,
as diners sate their palates with a
product that soon will be banned for
production and sale in the Golden
State.
The price has doubled. People
are nding it hard to get it because
the demand is so high, said Tracy
Lee of the San Jose-based traveling
dining service Dishcrawl, which has
organized a series of 15 secret, sold-
out foie gras dinners. Her last one is
Thursday.
We have had steady growth in
demand ... with a significant
increase in sales in the month of
May, said Guillermo Gonzalez of
Sonoma Artisan Foie Gras, the
states only producer. He said some
buyers are new customers who,
because of the publicity, want to try
it for the rst time.
While gourmands stockpile foie
gras at $60 a pound, others are
stomaching the frenetic food fest
with disdain.
High-end foodies and chefs
stufng down their throats exces-
sive amounts of fatty liver from
force-fed ducks in the run-up to the
ban paint a pretty ironic picture,
said Jennifer Fearing of the Humane
Society of the United States.
As the California foie gras feed-
ing frenzy escalates, protesters in
San Francisco and Los Angeles are
staking out restaurants and even
making reservations to tie up seats
at dinners they know theyll never
attend.
Many people dont know what
foie gras is or how its produced,
and theyre horried when we tell
them, said Dana Portnoy, who shot
undercover video inside a foie gras
operation and organizes the San
Francisco-area protests.
Occasionally well run into antag-
onistic patrons, but thats usually
when were protesting at the foie
gras benet dinners.
Foie gras feeding frenzy grows as ban nears
By Zeina Karam
BEIRUT Thirteen bound
corpses, many apparently shot exe-
cution-style, have been discovered
in eastern Syria, U.N. observers
said Wednesday, days after the
massacre of more than 100 people
provoked international outrage and
the coordinated expulsion of
Syrian diplomats from world capi-
tals.
The latest killings happened in
Deir el-Zour province, where the
bodies were found late Tuesday
blindfolded with their hands tied
behind their backs. A statement by
the U.N. mission said some
appeared to have been shot in the
head at close range.
A video posted online by
activists showed the men lying
face down, pools of dried blood
under their heads.
The head of the U.N. observer
team, Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, said
he was deeply disturbed by this
appalling and inexcusable act.
The fresh killings underline vio-
lence that seems to be spiraling out
of control as the uprising against
President Bashar Assad that began
in March 2011 has morphed into
an armed insurgency. Activists say
as many as 13,000 people have
been killed since the revolt began.
In the wake of last weekends
massacre in Houla, in which near-
ly half of the 108 dead were chil-
dren, the United States and
Western nations expelled Syrian
diplomats in protest a move
Syrias state-run media denounced
Wednesday as unprecedented
hysteria.
The massacre drew continued
harsh criticism Wednesday, even
from Syrias closest ally Iran, with
Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad saying that anyone
responsible for the killings should
be punished. Im not excluding
anyone from this responsibility,
Ahmadinejad told France 24 TV
station.
U.N. investigators and survivors
have blamed pro-regime gunmen
for at least some of the carnage in
Houla, a collection of poor farm-
ing villages in central Homs
province, saying men in civilian
clothes gunned down people in the
streets and stabbed women and
children in their homes. The
Syrian government denied its
troops were behind the killings and
blamed armed terrorists.
Damascus had said it would con-
clude its own investigation into the
Houla deaths by Wednesday but it
was not clear if the findings would
be made public. The U.N.s top
human rights body planned to hold
a special session Friday to address
the massacre.

Egypt crowd attacks
candidates office
CAIRO Security ofcials and
witnesses say several hundred people
have ransacked the campaign head-
quarters of an Egyptian presidential
candidate who was ousted President
Hosni Mubaraks last prime minister.
The crowd attacked Ahmed
Shaqs Cairo ofce, smashing win-
dows, tossing out campaign signs and
tearing up posters. Then they set re
to the building. No one was hurt.
The attack comes just hours after
the countrys election commission
announced Monday that Shaq
would face the Muslim Brotherhoods
candidate, Mohammed Morsi, in a
June 16-17 runoff for the presidency.
