The long-vacant former Shen Auto
Dealership on the border of Burlingame and
San Mateo will be home to 155 luxury apart-
ments as the AFL-CIO Building Investment
Trust has pledged to invest nearly $70 million
in constructing the project.
BIT has contracted with Sares Regis Group
of Northern California to develop the com-
plex at 800 and 888 N. San Mateo Drive that
was given final approval by the citys
Planning Commission in October.
Several proposals to build on the site have
failed over the past decade as previous devel-
opers failed to complete the project, mostly
due to nancing. San Mateo ofcials grappled
for years whether to keep the site an auto
dealership but started accepting housing

home safe for reghters to enter or he would have to move

Dont let Jackie Pragers size fool you.
She may be an introvert and small
but Prager pushes herself. For instance, she
has two black belts in kung fu a fact that
makes her parents feel a lot better about
Prager attending college on her own. The
skill could come in handy for another rea-
son. Prager has always wanted to become a
lawyer.
My grandmother said they were super-
heroes who helped others. And, I loved
superheroes, Prager said of her childhood
desire to be in a courtroom.
That desire has never waned. In fact, it has
only become more specific. The 18-year-old
will graduate from the College of San Mateo
Middle College and head to the University
of San Francisco to double major in English
and psychology with a minor in legal stud-
ies. Its all part of Pragers plan to be a pros-
ecutor working on cases concerning
womens and childrens rights.
Prager didnt start out as a butt-kicking
gal. As a little girl, she was very energetic
and participated in a variety of activities like
dancing, ice skating and gymnastics. After
watching her younger brother in his kung fu
classes, Prager enrolled while in fourth
grade. In her sophomore year, she earned her
first black bet. She earned her second in
November.
During the day, Prager attended Baywood
Elementary School for four years then trans-
ferred to Laurel Elementary School after
being accepted into a GATE program. She
attended Borel for one year, then her family
moved to Davis for a year, and she returned
to Borel Middle School. The family stayed
put after that. Prager enrolled at Aragon
High School and took choir classes a way
to explore her admiration for singing and
push herself out of a fairly shy norm. Prager
has also spent much of her time volunteer-
ing. She truly enjoys helping people and has
given her time at the library, local senior
center and in the classrooms of her previous
teachers.
She applied to the Middle College pro-
gram thinking it would be a better fit. Prager
was right. Her parents werent sure of the
choice at first. Prager was sold during the
first semester when classes started a bit later.
Her parents are happier now that shes grad-
uating with college credits. For a few class-
es, shes starting college with a sophomore
standing.
At University of San Francisco, Prager can
use that as an opportunity to graduate early
or spend more time in the study abroad pro-
gram in London. Shes undecided which
option will be her path. Before making any
decisions, Prager plans to spend the summer
traveling with her family and getting to
know her new roommate.
The College of San Mateo Middle
Colleges graduation will be held 5:30 p.m.
Tuesday, May 29.

pate. Those that choose to participate are

Official seeks U.S. commitment on high-speed rail
SACRAMENTO The leader of the California Senate
called Wednesday on the Obama administration to say now
whether it will commit more federal money to the states high-
speed rail project if the president wins a second term.
The request came as Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg pushes skeptical state lawmakers to approve $2.7
billion in initial spending by July 1 to meet a federal construc-
tion deadline.
The federal government has pledged $3.5 billion, on top of
the $9 billion authorized by California voters.
A sticking point is whether more federal money will be
available to complete the project once it gets under way. The
rail project is expected to cost at least $68 billion.

An elderly San Mateo mans former
longtime prostitute who was already on
probation for taking his money by intim-
idation is accused of threatening him
several times in the last month before
beating him with a brick and making off
with more money, his television and car.
Prosecutors say San Francisco resi-
dent Lynette Evette Derouen, 38, and the
82-year-old victim had a several-year
arrangement in which she would come
to his home to provide services. The man
ended the business relationship but
authorities say Derouen still came to his
home. After pressuring him into giving
her money and write checks to her
daughters boyfriend, she was convicted
in July 2011 of felony grand theft,
placed on probation and ordered to stay
away from her former client, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
But in April, District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said Derouen began returning
to the mans home, entering it several
times again to threaten him and demand
money.
He gave her money out of fear or just
to make her go away, he said, adding
that she threatened to bash his head in
with a rock.
On May 11, Derouen is accused of
entering the house where the man was
making lunch and pushing him to the
oor while she shouted show me the
money. Wagstaffe said she struck him
with a brick she had brought with her
before grabbing between $50 and $100
in cash and a brand-new television
which she put in the mans car.
She also allegedly grabbed two tele-
phones to prevent the man from immedi-
ately calling police.
A security camera at the San Mateo
Medical Center across the street caught
Derouen leaving the house holding the
television and driving off in his vehicle.
The car was recovered later that after-
noon when Derouen was stopped on an
unrelated warrant out of East Palo Alto.
Wagstaffe said her luggage was in the
trunk.
Derouen is charged with 12 crimes,
including eight felonies. The counts
include home invasion robbery, resi-
dential burglary, embezzlement of an
elderly person, violating a probation
order, car theft and removing a wireless
device to prevent someone from seek-
ing help.
At her initial arraignment, she asked
for a court-appointed attorney and plead-
ed not guilty. She did not waive her right
to a speedy trial and returns to court May
29 for a preliminary hearing.
She remains in custody in lieu of
$500,000 bail.

The Fair Political Practices
Commission will investigate if
Redwood City Councilwoman
Rosanne Foust violated state law last
month for commenting on the pro-
posed Cargill Saltworks development
while heading an economic business
group which has vocally endorsed the
development.
In a May 10 letter to Marsha
Cohen, the Redwood City resident
who led the complaint, FPPC
Enforcement Division Chief Gary S.
Winuk conrmed it was moving for-
ward rather than dismissing the com-
plaint outright.
Launching an investigation doesnt
mean the FPPC has yet to make any
decisions on Cohens allegations or
Fousts possible conict. However,
both Cohen and Foust see the step as
fruitful.
I respect the decision that they
want to look into it. I respect the
process and it
allows me the
opportunity to
respond and have
my facts put out
there, Foust said.
Cohen said she
is pleased the
FPPC felt there is
reason for further
investigation.
They obvi-
ously felt there was something to go
on, she said.
The FPPC did not respond to an
inquiry.
Cohen led the complaint after a
Redwood City Council meeting at
which Foust suggested seeking an
advisory vote on whether the city
should scrap the pending Saltworks
proposal or continue waiting for a
revised plan on which it would ulti-
mately vote. Earlier this month,
developer DMB formally pulled its
application on the heels of a city
announcement the City Council
planned to deny both the vote idea
and the proposal which had sat
unmoving for three years.
Cohen and other sections of the
public cried foul on Fousts com-
ments because she is president of the
San Mateo County Economic
Development Association, a private
organization which endorsed DMBs
now-defunct 50-50 Balanced Plan
for retail, housing and open space.
In 2010, the FPPC launched a sim-
ilar investigation into allegations
Foust violated the Political Reform
Act with her dual roles. The FPPC
warned Foust to abstain from
Saltworks-related matters from that
point forward. The FPPC also noted
Foust acted on the counsel of then-
city attorney Roy Abrams and issued
her a written warning that future vio-
lations would carry up to $5,000 in
nes. Cohen said the previous inci-
dent strengthened her decision to le
the recent complaint.
We all make an assumption we are
being represented based on ofcials
best guess on whats right or whats
fair, Cohen said.

The Los Altos woman accused of
Tasing and stabbing her estranged
husband at their Redwood City con-
struction rm ofce last fall while
wearing bubble wrap to protect her-
self pleaded not guilty yesterday to
premeditated attempted murder and
assault.
After entering her plea, Laura Jean
Wenke, 51, also waived her right to a
speedy prosecution and scheduled a
Sept. 24 jury trial.
Wenke and her husband are in the
midst of a divorce and have a young
child. Wenke stood to gain a $2 mil-

new girlfriend,
according to
prosecutors.
On Sept. 15,
Wenke allegedly
arrived at the
family business,
W e n k e
Construction, on
Laurel Street and
parked a truck in
front of the

passersby. Inside, prosecutors say she
asked her husband to look up some-

After her arrest, police reported she
was wearing a mechanics jumpsuit
and underneath the clothing her torso

ently as protection against being hit

SACRAMENTO Even if vot-
ers approve Gov. Jerry Browns pro-
posal for higher taxes this fall, his
ballot initiative would be only a par-
tial solution to the states chronic
budget decits.
California could face shortfalls
for the foreseeable future depending
on how much Democrats are willing
to cut social programs and whether
the economy rebounds. In many
cases, the financial pain on
Californians will persist. College
students will still face higher tuition
fees, public school teachers still face
layoffs and parks are still scheduled
to close.
Officials at the University of
California, for example, are consid-
ering plans to raise tuition by 6 per-
cent this fall. If voters reject
Browns tax hike
in November,
the officials
warn of a mid-
year, double-
digit tuition
increase or dras-
tic cuts to cam-
pus programs
and stafng.
Whether the
tax initiative passes or fails, the UC
still loses, said Cheryl Deutsch, 27,
a graduate student in urban planning
at the University of California, Los
Angeles.
The California State University
system hiked tuition by 9 percent for
this fall and froze admissions for
next spring in response to state
budget cuts. There are no plans to
roll back the tuition increases of
recent years even if the tax hikes
pass.
Even with tax, California
could face chronic deficits

NEW YORK A threat thats
been hanging over the economy is
starting to look a lot less menacing.
Oil and gasoline prices are sink-
ing, giving relief to businesses and
consumers who a few weeks ago
seemed about to face the highest
fuel prices ever.
President Barack Obamas re-
election prospects could also bene-
t, especially if prices keep falling
as some analysts expect. A majority
of Americans disapproved of
Obamas handling of gas prices in
an AP-GfK poll early this month.
But that was before the full effect of
the recent drop had reached drivers.
The average U.S. retail gasoline
price has dropped 21 cents a gallon
to $3.73 since hitting a 2012 peak of
$3.94 on April 6.
The economy could gain, too.
Consumers who spend less on fuel
have more to spend on other pur-
chases, from autos and furniture to
appliances and vacations, that could
help drive economic output and job
growth.
Lower oil prices ease load

She left school at 15 and joined Bath Travel
Agency as a travel agent and later gained her
qualications as a travel guide.
In 1967-68, Marguerite emigrated from
Britain to New York and became an expert in
European travel. From New York, she moved
to Florida and then on to San Francisco. She
became an American citizen.
In the 1980s, Marguerite bought her house
in East Palo Alto and eventually settled into
the life of an American.

MILWAUKEE One of lifes simple
pleasures just got a little sweeter. After years
of wafing research on coffee and health, even
some fear that java might raise the risk
of heart disease, a big study nds
the opposite: Coffee drinkers
are a little more likely to live
longer. Regular or decaf
doesnt matter.
The study of
400,000 people is the
largest ever
done on the
issue, and the
results should reas-
sure any coffee lovers
who think its a guilty
pleasure that may do
harm.
Our study suggests thats
really not the case, said lead researcher
Neal Freedman of the National Cancer
Institute. There may actually be a modest
benet of coffee drinking.
No one knows why. Coffee contains a thou-
sand things that can affect health, from help-
ful antioxidants to tiny amounts of substances
linked to cancer. The most widely studied
ingredient caffeine didnt
play a role in the new studys
results.
Its not that earlier studies
were wrong. There is evi-
dence that coffee can
raise LDL, or bad
cholesterol, and
blood pressure at
least short-term, and
those in turn can raise
the risk of heart dis-
ease.
Even in the new study,
it rst seemed that coffee
drinkers were more likely to die
at any given time. But they also tend-
ed to smoke, drink more alcohol, eat more red
meat and exercise less than non-coffee-
drinkers. Once researchers took those things
into account, a clear pattern emerged: Each
cup of coffee per day nudged up the chances
of living longer.
The study was done by the National
Institutes of Health and AARP. The results are
published in Thursdays New England Journal
of Medicine.
Careful, though this doesnt prove that
coffee makes people live longer, only that the
two seem related. Like most studies on diet
and health, this one was based strictly on
observing peoples habits and resulting health.
So it cant prove cause and effect.
But with so many people, more than a
decade of follow-up and enough deaths to
compare, this is probably the best evidence
we have and are likely to get, said Dr. Frank
Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health.
He had no role in this study but helped lead a
previous one that also found coffee bene-
cial.

WASHINGTON A key House
Republican says the $2 billion trading loss at
JPMorgan Chase raises critical questions
about how banks control their risks. But
Republican lawmakers rejected calls from
Democrats for stricter regulation.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., chair-
man of the House Financial Services subcom-
mittee, noted the loss during a hearing about
how best to regulate banks big enough to
bring down the broader nancial system.
Lawmakers said a rms character should
count when regulators determine if they are
systemically important financial institu-
tions. Such a designation would subject them
to a stricter level of oversight.
The panels hearing on a key tenet of the
2010 regulatory overhaul was scheduled well
before JPMorgan revealed its trading misre
last week.
Republicans on the subcommittee
denounced the overhauls requirement for
nancial rms to be tagged as systemically
important. They said it really means a rm is
considered too big to fail the doctrine
that brought taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street
during the 2008 nancial crisis.
These rms will never fail, said Rep.
Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., chairman of the full
Financial Services Committee.
News of the surprise loss at JPMorgan, the
only major bank to stay protable during the
nancial crisis, has renewed calls for tougher
oversight of Wall Street banks. Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday that
JPMorgans loss bolsters the case for stricter
rules.
But Bachus and other Republicans insisted
that the overhaul law, which most Republican
lawmakers had voted against, wont prevent
another crisis and will drive nancial busi-
ness overseas.
Democrats say regulations are needed that
will essentially prevent a company from los-
ing money or taking risk, Bachus said. No
law can do that.
Regarding JPMorgan, Bachus said that
even with this loss, I believe theyre one of
the most protable institutions in the country
... There is no risk from this loss to depositors
or taxpayers.
Key Republican: JPMorgan $2B loss raises questions

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

WASHINGTON Leslie Sabos
Vietnam War ended in the ash of
his own grenade, hurled at an enemy
bunker in Cambodia to save sur-
rounded comrades. Forty years later
and a dozen years after the long-
lost paperwork turned up in military
archives he was honored by
President Obama on Wednesday
with the nations highest award for
gallantry.
Obama presented the Medal of
Honor to Sabos widow, Rose Mary,
and said doing so helps right the
wrongs done to a generation that
served freedoms cause but came
home to a brooding and resentful
nation.
Instead of being celebrated, our
Vietnam veterans were often
shunned, Obama said in a hushed
East Room. They were called many
things when there was only one
thing that they deserved to be called
and that was American patriots.
Spec. Leslie H. Sabo Jr. of
Elwood City, Pa., was serving with
U.S. forces near the village of Se
San in eastern Cambodia in May of
1970 when his unit was ambushed
and nearly overrun by North
Vietnamese forces.
Comrades testied that the rie-
man charged up from the rear,
grabbed an enemy grenade and
tossed it away, using his body to
shield a fellow soldier. And shrug-
ging off his own injuries, Sabo
advanced on an enemy bunker that
had poured re onto the U.S. troops
and then, pulled the pin on his
own grenade.

BEDFORD, N.Y. Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.s estranged wife, Mary
Richardson Kennedy, who had
fought drug and alcohol problems,
was found dead in her home
Wednesday.
An autopsy for the 52-year-old
was scheduled for Thursday, and no
cause of death had been released.
In a statement issued by Robert
Kennedy Jr.s chief of staff, the fam-
ily described Mary Kennedy as a
genius at friendship.
Mary inspired our family with
her kindness, her love, her gentle
soul and generous spirit, the family
said.
The former Mary Richardson, a
longtime connection of the Kennedy
clan, married Robert Kennedy Jr., a
prominent environmental lawyer
and the son of Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy and
nephew of
President John F.
Kennedy, in
1994. The couple
had four chil-
dren, the
youngest born in
July 2001.
Robert Kennedy
Jr. also has two
children from a previous marriage.
Mary Kennedy was an architect
and designer and had overseen the
renovation of the couples home into
an environmentally advanced show-
piece. Her family cited her devotion
to her children in remembering her.
We deeply regret the death of our
beloved sister Mary, whose radiant
and creative spirit will be sorely
missed by those who loved her, the
family said in a statement issued by
Lawrence. Our heart goes out to
her children who she loved without
reservation.
Two U.S. Navy ships
collide in Pacific; no injuries
SAN DIEGO An 844-foot-long
U.S. Navy assault ship collided with a
refueling tanker Wednesday in the
Pacic Ocean, causing damage to
both ships, but there were no injuries
or fuel spills, military ofcials said.
The midmorning accident between
the amphibious assault vessel USS
Essex and the oiler USNS Yukon
occurred about 120 miles off the
coast of Southern California as the
Essex was approaching the Yukon to
be refueled, said Cmdr. Charlie
Brown, a spokesman for the 3rd

ently stopped working on the Essex,
which was carrying 982 crew mem-
bers on its way to San Diego for

Home sales down, prices up
Home prices were up on average the week
of May 19, 2007, though Bay Area homes
sold the previous were at the slowest pace in
12 years, according to DataQuick
Information Systems.
A total of 7,447 new and resale
homes and condos were sold in
the nine-county Bay
Area in April 2007, a
sales reduction of
18.4 percent when
compared with the 9,129 homes
sold in April of the prior year.
Despite the drop in sales, Marin Countys
median price for resale homes in April 2007
broke a California county record at
$1,010,000 the rst time any county in
California passed the million-dollar mark,
according to DataQuick. The median price
paid for a home in the Bay Area also
increased in April 2007 to a record high of
$659,000.
Sixteen Mile House reopens
Just under a year after the Sixteen Mile
House doors were closed in downtown
Millbrae, the historic site was reopened the
week of May 19, 2007 offering dinner and
drinks with historic ambiance.
Local restaurateur Peter Liu, who owns
Peters Cafe on Millbrae Avenue and El
Camino Real, bought the landmark the prior
year because of the central location and rich
history for the area. But purchasing the busi-
ness wasnt enough to get things up and run-
ning. Liu needed to do major renovations to
have his vision of the site come to life.
The restaurant was established in 1861 but
wasnt built at its original location on El
Camino Real until 1872 by the Sanchez fam-
ily. Jose Antonio Sanchez was a famed
Indian ghter in the Mexican Army who
came to San Francisco as young child with
his parents in 1776 as part of the De Anza
Expedition. After 44 years of service,
Sanchez was awarded the Buri Buri Rancho
a 14,000-acre site upon which the Sixteen
Mile House was built.
In the 1970s, the original building was torn
down because the $50,000 price tag to
restore the building was too steep.
The place was resurrected on Broadway
with a plain front until a few years later
when the old-
time facade
was built to
resemble the original building.
County asks racing board
to reconsider turf decision
If the states horse racing board were to
reverse its position of not allowing Bay
Meadows race track to operate without syn-
thetic turf the week of May 19, 2007, county
ofcials could still secure the race dates
needed to continue the annual county fair,
members of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors said that week.
The board was expected to pass a resolu-
tion urging the California Horse Racing
Board to exempt the race track from the
requirement.
Synthetic turf is thought by many to be
safer for horses and jockeys but Bay
Meadows felt it unnecessary to spend $8
million to $10 million when the facility was
slated for demolition and renovation in two
years. In March 2007, the county asked for a
two-year extension which the board denied.
The board then denied the race track any
2008 dates, leaving the last scheduled race
for Nov. 4, 2007.

printed ve years ago this week. It appears in the
Thursday edition of the Daily Journal.

Let the people
see the 50/50 plan
Editor,
I, for one, hope that DMB will bring
forth a revised plan for development of
the Saltworks site. As a Redwood City
resident, the rst plan tickled my
curiosity. Frankly, I think the 50/50
plan was intriguing, especially since it
was the result of extensive discussions
with Redwood City residents.
Also, signicant public interest has
been expressed concerning restoring
marshlands, adding new parks, ball-
elds and levees and the foresightful
concept of living near work. So, yes, I
look forward to a revised development
plan and a thorough review through the
environmental impact review process.
Then, and only then, will I make up my
own mind whether I think it is the right
thing for Redwood City.

The right to free speech
Editor,
Wow, San Mateo made it onto
YouTube. (Rabbis speech called hate-
ful in the May 16 edition of the Daily
Journal). Thats great. The whole
nation and beyond can see just what a
truly great community we have. The
rst town in the nation to adopt an
infantry regiment during a hated war
and the rst town in the United States
to give a Welcome Home parade to
returning veterans. Im proud of this
little town of ours.
Oh, but that didnt make it onto
YouTube now did it? Now we can also
go down in history as the seat of the
hate movement in the Tea Party. This is
truly a proud moment for we San
Mateans. It is also an especially proud
moment for the Republican party who
are being held hostage by this portion
of their base. Thank you, to the two
lone voices of reason, Chuck Mc
Dougald and Leonard Stone, for speak-
ing up and defending the Republican
Partys honor in San Mateo. And before
any of you get your big boy underwear
in a bunch, yes, I believe in the right to
free speech, thats why Im exercising
mine now.

Letters to the editor
By Nels Johnson
E
arning mostly Cs in high
school, I always summed up
my chronic underachieving by
blaming my teachers for grading me
unfairly. Nevermind the fact that I hard-
ly ever studied or nished my home-
work. The fault lay in a conspiracy of
teachers (and my unsympathetic par-
ents) with a communal grudge against
me. It certainly wasnt my fault.
Call it poetic justice, but I am a high
school teacher now, and the tables have
ironically turned. Todays zeitgeist in
teaching is what Id always dreamt of
in my days as a lazy student:
Students arent to blame for low test
scores. Teachers are.
This blame-the-teacher phenomenon
is rooted in the increased interest in
standardized exams like the STAR test,
the annual state assessment with conse-
quences for the schools but not the stu-
dents. Intended initially as a means of
isolating standards not being addressed
sufciently in a curriculum, a tool to
improve classroom teaching, STAR test
scores have become the singular basis
for evaluating the efcacy of California
public school teachers.
Discussing the value of standardized
testing itself is a topic for another
piece. The problem that concerns me
here is that the test results simply dont
matter to students. By high school, the
higher achieving students are so con-
cerned with grades and SATs that
spring STAR exams are nothing but a
nuisance. Lower performing students
feel the same indifference, no doubt
reinforced by the excess of preparatory,
compulsory assessments the schools
have administered over the years in a
quixotic effort to boost their scores. For
students both at the top and the bottom,
its a litany of meaningless bubbling.
But for teachers these days, standard-
ized test results are viewed by outsiders
as the sole barometer of their success as
an educator. School boards are clamor-
ing for student achievement data as a
way of evaluating and compensating
teachers, with complicated value-
added formulas to differentiate the
performance of students above and
below the curve. Quarterly assessments
modeled after the STAR and Exit
exams have become typical in most
school districts, and whole curricula
have been redesigned to reach numeri-
cal goals that the students themselves
know nothing about.
The ironic casualties of this assess-
ment process have been not only the
diminished will in the students them-
selves, whom the process is meant to
help, but a watering down of curricu-
lum as well. Poor student performance
is now seen as an indicator of aws in
classroom instruction i.e., teachers
are leaving students behind. As a result,
new generations of teachers are learn-
ing their craft in an environment where
low test scores are no longer a natural
consequence for a students lack of
preparation or attentiveness but a need
for intensive scaffolding or remedia-
tion, which is educational jargon for
slowing and dumbing down. The sub-
ject matter has become so compartmen-
talized, the consequences so muted, that
there is little room for real learning
anymore.
Its never good when students fail in
school, but as they mature they can at
least learn from past mistakes. I teach
seniors, and some of the best college
essays Ive read deal with owning up to
past laziness and becoming a more
responsible, serious student.
Consequences are an essential part of
the learning process; skills and academ-
ic standards are important, but not near-
ly as vital as the industry and discipline
required to perform. Reteaching materi-
al, allowing a second try on a test, scaf-
folding content to make it as easy as
possible the whole culture of public
education has resorted to spoon-feeding
students to chase the one-size-ts-all
illusion of 100 percent prociency on
STAR tests.
It is a noble goal, every student being
procient, but its not worth the price
we are paying. As a father of two
teenaged sons in public schools, I am a
fan of increased accountability for
teachers, but I am equally concerned
with my children taking responsibility
for their own progress. I have heard all
the complaints about ticky-tacky tests
and unfair biases, and its probably true
that some teachers dont always educate
them as well as they should. But my
sons grades are their grades.
No matter how much my 16-year-old
self disagrees.

Evaluating education
Overly protective?
P
rom season is in full force, which can only mean a
couple of things teen dreams turn to fancy
dresses, party buses, last hurrahs, after parties and
making the most of an evening built up as the night to end
all high school nights.
For some, the festivities also means sex, sometimes for
the first time, sometimes
for the 101st time. That
choice, regardless of how
many times prior, can
also mean unintended
consequences like sexual-
ly transmitted diseases or
pregnancy. Neither are
probably the crowning
achievement on which a
senior wants to end his or
her high school career.
A condom company a
week or so back sent out
a press release apparently
trying to curb these
issues. NuVo Condoms
announced it would give free supplies to any high school
for distribution specifically before prom. The company
quoted a report finding one in five 17-year-olds plan to go
all the way the first time on prom night and added it was
not condoning post-prom moments but wanted to make
sure they were safe.
Sounds good.
Sure, underneath the altruism was obviously a marketing
ploy. But generosity and good deeds dont always come
unwrapped in strings and gimmicks. If the outcome of the
offer is still prevention, isnt that all that really matters?
The bigger question was if the offer is even a good idea.
Would even open-minded Peninsula schools and parents
balk? Would students even be confident enough to grab a
condom or two under the watchful gaze of school adminis-
trators?
First, I tried the company itself just to see if anybody
nationwide was taking them up on the offer. Crickets.
Absolutely no response which frankly does not send a
good message about their strategy and maybe even their
product. Scratch that then. But specific marketing aside,
was prom-specific distribution a good idea?
Confessing ignorance on the secret or maybe not-so-
secret lives of teens, I asked a few what they thought.
They mainly looked uncomfortable and offered up the
popular I dont know response which is more a reflec-
tion on our generation gap than their lack of opinion. They
didnt want to talk about those kinds of things with anyone
twice their age. So how in the world would they ever be
comfortable stockpiling contraception in public?
Again, I turned to someone much more educated than I.
Perryn Rowland, program director at San Mateo County-
based Teen Talk, said teens are much more knowledgeable
and open than previous generations. She called the idea
interesting but said any prom condom distribution should
be more than just a bowl in a bathroom. Instead, she
prefers it being part of a comprehensive sex ed program
and communication with parents about values and their
own experiences.
Taking out the threat of not knowing what your kids are
up to or learning can make parents more receptive. Giving
kids the tools to discuss with their parents what they think
rather than just assuming the worst can make students
more willing to seek out contraception at prom or other-
wise.
Like me, shes not a big fan of the marketing the
reality is any clinic, organization or school can nab 1,000
condoms for $55 or so.
But I always think if it prevents one teen pregnancy or
one STD infection, thats a good thing, she said.
Truth is, for all the marketing gimmicks and programs,
some teens will still get pregnant or infected. Just offering
condoms doesnt necessarily ensure the teens will actually
use them. Even adults might cringe a bit if they had to go
ask the school nurse for a supply.
But its a start. And while NuVos offer may not be the
best answer, it certainly could spark a conversation in local
districts and schools about possibilities for next springs
batch of formals or maybe all dances.
Schools already utilize breathalyzers to keep students
safe yes, also to make sure they arent breaking the law
or wont throw up mid-dance, but safety is a component.
Are condoms much different?
Prom can still be the night to end all nights. Offering a
little protection just helps make sure its also not the night
to end or at least drastically change young dreams.

NEW YORK The unending turmoil
in Greece spread fallout across the nan-
cial markets Wednesday. The Dow Jones
industrial average fell for the ninth day
out of 10, and gold, oil, and the euro all
dropped to multi-month lows.
Greece called a new round of elec-
tions for June 17 after coalition talks to
form a government fell apart. The presi-
dent said depositors were pulling hun-
dreds of millions of euros out of banks,
weakening the countrys strained nan-
cial system.
The main cause for investor worry was
that Greece would pull out of the group
of countries that use the euro, and that
that would throw the global markets into
chaos.
For U.S. stocks, it was a fairly quiet
day, but another decline in a month that
has been relentlessly downbeat. The
Dow fell 33.45 points to 12,598.55, and
the Standard & Poors 500 index fell
5.86 points to 1,324.80.
The Dow has been on a nearly unbro-
ken slide since May 1, when it closed at
a four-year high. Since then, it has had
just one up day, and that was a gain of
only 20 points on May 10.
The average has lost 4.4 percent in
May and is headed for its rst losing
month since September.
Were in a period where theres little
conviction to buy, said Richard Cripps,
chief investment ofcer at brokerage
Stifel Financial. The road ahead is too
uncertain because of European concerns
and the presidential election later this
year.
Elsewhere in the markets,
it was an eventful day:
The dollar continued its two-week
climb against the euro. The dollar
improved to $1.27 per euro, the strongest
since January, as traders worried about a
messy exit from the euro bloc by Greece.
The stronger dollar drove the Indian
currency, the rupee, to an all-time low.
The rupee sank to 54.44 against the dol-
lar, surpassing the prior low of 54.39 on
Dec. 15.
The price of benchmark U.S. crude
oil fell by $1.17 to nish at a seven-
month low of $92.81 per barrel. It is
down nearly 13 percent since the begin-
ning of May.

Big movers

NEW YORK Responding to
extraordinary demand, Facebook said
Wednesday that it would sell more stock
in the companys initial public offering.
But ahead of the IPO, a debate emerged
between two of the nations largest
automakers: Does it pay to advertise on
the social network?
General Motors, the nations largest
automaker, said it would abandon
Facebook ads after concluding they were
ineffective. At the same time, Ford reaf-
firmed its commitment to Facebook,
saying their relationship was stronger
than ever.
The direct nancial impact of GMs
move is minimal for Facebook, but the
decision drew attention to the networks
advertising system, which some
observers regard as immature.
In a regulatory filing Wednesday,
Facebook said it would add 84 million
shares, worth up to $3.2 billion, to the
IPO, which is shaping up to be the
decades hottest. The companys stock is
expected to begin trading Friday on the
Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker
symbol FB.
Almost half of the additional shares
come from investment rms DST Global
and Tiger Global.
Does advertising on Facebook pay?

They say good things come to those who wait.
Burlingame baseball manager Shawn Scott
resisted the urge to bring Grant Goodman up to the
varsity squad last year as a sophomore and that
patience has paid off with one of the best two-way
threats in the Peninsula Athletic League this sea-
son.
Grant forced my hand last year, but I didnt
play the card, Scott said.
Scott said he wanted Goodman in the lineup
every game pitching or playing the eld
and last year he would have only seen time on the
mound.
This season, Goodman, now a junior, has
owned the mound and, after some minor adjust-
ments to his swing, is powering the ball around the
yard.
Last week against Hillsdale, Goodman pitched
ve innings, allowing only one run on two hits. He
also singled twice and scored a run as the Panthers
locked up the PALs Bay Division championship.
For his efforts, Goodman is this weeks Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Hes been steady. Very steady, Scott said. I
know what Im going to get every time he goes out
there. He keeps us in ball games.
What Scott and the Panthers get is a bulldog on
the mound. No matter what is happening in an
inning, Goodman is locked in. He has an ERA of
1.34 and opponents are hitting just .131 against
him this season. And while he may not be a clas-
sic strikeout pitcher, he gets his fair share of swing
throughs. In 67.2 innings, he has struck out 83. He
struck out six Knights in the title-clinching win.
But Goodman is equally comfortable and con-
dent in his defense to allow batters to make con-
tact.

The Menlo School baseball team kicked off the
defense of its 2010 and 2011 Central Coast
Section Division III championships with an
emphatic win over visiting St. Thomas More in
the rst round of the 2012 CCS playoffs.
Pitcher Jake Batchelder pitched a ve-inning
no-hitter and Freddy Avis hit two home runs and
drove in four as second-seeded Menlo beat No.
15 More 10-0 in a ve-inning, 10-run mercy rule
game Wednesday afternoon in Atherton.
Its always good to get a 10-runner in, said
Menlo manager Craig Schoof. We hit the ball
pretty hard.
Of Menlos 11 hits, six were for extra bases
three homers and three doubles. In addition to
Avis two shots, Mikey Diekroeger added one as
well, a laser line drive over the right-eld wall in
the bottom of the second inning to give Menlo a
3-0 lead.
That was just the appetizer, however. Avis hit
his rst homer a two-run shot also over the
right-eld fence. But all the Menlo hits paled in
comparison to Avis bomb in the fth, also a two-
run homer. He took a 1-0 pitch and hit it not only
over the right-eld fence, but over the scoreboard
and the trees behind the scoreboard.
Its the furthest left-handed home run Ive ever
seen here, said Schoof, who has coached at the
school for 25 years.
That was more than enough offense for
Batchelder. While Avis may have gotten most of
the accolades over the last year and a half,
Batchelder is no slouch. The lefty was simply too
much for an overmatched More squad.
Pitching with a lead is always easier,
Batchelder said. Ive always had that blessing
here at Menlo.
Batchelder ran into a speed bump in the third
inning when he walked two batters and hit anoth-
er to load the bases with two outs. But Batchelder
induced a popup to second base to end the inning.
Other than that little wobble, Batchelder
cruised, striking out seven.
Menlo baseball cruises in CCS opener
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Step one in the repeat is done.
The Capuchino softball team is well aware that
the road to its second straight Central Coast
Section Division III title will be anything but a
walk in the park as the No. 7 seed.
But in the 2012 playoff opener Wednesday, the
Mustangs looked every bit the defending champi-
ons, taking care of No. 10 Stevenson 12-2 in a ve-
inning mercy rule outcome.
Its huge, said Capuchino coach Todd
Grammatico of the win. I think it makes a huge
statement. A lot of people kind of wrote us off.
I never wrote us off. After the Carlmont game I told
the kids, I never know what team is going to show
up. You guys are good enough to beat anyone, but
you dont always come with the right attitude.And
ever since then, theyve come with the right atti-
tude and the right team has been showing up.
That win against Carlmont a week ago locked
up a playoff berth for the Mustangs. It was their
biggest win of a now seven-game winning streak.
And on Wednesday, they picked up the victory
behind the solid pitching of Gabby Tudury and the
power stroke of Ariana Wassmmer.
Weve just been getting more condence every
week and after Carlmont, I told the kids, Carlmont
has the highest points in CCS and if you can beat
them 5-2, you can beat anybody, Grammatico
said. So they seemed to listen to me this time.
Perhaps the turning point of the game came in
the rst inning when Stevenson had runners at sec-
ond and third with only one out. It was then that
Tudury buckled down and struck out back-to-back
hitters to end the threat. From that point on, No. 5,
who was pitching in her rst CCS game, was nails.
I kind of needed to nd my groove, Tudury
said. I wasnt in the zone the rst inning. Nerves
get you in your rst CCS game, so I was a little
nervous. But, after the rst inning I was ne. My
teammates were there for me. So I felt like I could
pitch just ne.
It was huge to get out of that rst inning,
Grammatico said. I felt like they were going to
score and the two strikeouts and getting out of the
inning was huge.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Menlo golfer Andrew Buchanan
saved his best Central Coast Section
performance for last.
Shooting a 64, the Menlo junior
was the CCS medalist at the golf
championship tournament at Rancho
Caada-West golf course in Carmel
Tuesday.
Buchanan nished rst out of 65
high school golfers who represented
24 high school teams and he did
it in record fashion. Buchanan tied
the all-time CCS championship indi-
vidual scoring record of 64 set in
2010 by Patrick Grimes, a former
Knight, and in doing so led Menlo to
a fth-place nish in the team com-
petition.
Sacred Heart Prep, the countys
other representative, nished sev-
enth.
Buchanan scored ve birdies and
an eagle in his 7-under par round.
Buchanan scored birdie, eagle, birdie
on holes 16 through 18 to complete a
bogey-free round and take home the
top spot.
Menlo shot a team total of 382
strokes, establishing a new Menlo
school record-low for the CCS cham-
pionship tournament in which ve
scores count. The old record was set
in 2010 at 389.
Menlo nished just ve strokes
behind third-place qualifier
Archbishop Mitty High School.
First place went to Robert Louis
Stevenson of Pebble Beach and sec-
ond place was won by Palma High
School of Salinas.
Buchanan is a repeat medalist after
winning the CCS Regional 2 tourna-
ment last week at Rancho Caada,
shooting a 68.
Between the two CCS rounds,
Buchanan also competed at
Pasatiempo at the U.S. Open Local
Qualifying. Shooting a 1-under par
70 at Pasatiempo, Buchanan nished
tied for third in the U.S. Open Local
Qualifying round and advances to the
U.S.Open Sectional Qualifying at
Lake Merced June 4.
Menlo freshman Ethan Wong post-
ed the second place score for Menlo,
shooting a 74. Wong nished 17th in
the eld of 65. Wong nished strong
going 1-under par on his nal 4
holes.
Senior Will Petit shot a 76, record-
ing his personal best high school 18-
hole score in his nal appearance of
his four-year varsity golf career.
Petit started off on a hot streak
shooting 1-under par on the front
nine. He went bogey free on the front
nine and birdied the tough par-5 sixth
hole.
Senior Jackson Dean shot a solid
82 and junior Max Garnick complet-
ed the scoring for Menlo by shooting
86.
Buchanan advances to the Nor Cal
tournament next Monday at Butte
Creek Country Club in Chico as an
individual representative for Menlo
School.
Jeff Carney of Burlingame had a
solid championship round, shooting a
77 to tie six others for seventh place.
Derek Ackeman of Sacred Heart
Prep shot a 73 to pace the Gators and
tie three others for 13th place.
Isiah Salinda of Serra shot a 75 to
wind up in 22nd place along with
SHPs Bradley Knox.
Menlo-Athertons Max Culhane,
participating as another individual
qualier, shot a 77 along with team-
mate Travis Anderson. Another Bear,
Matt Tinyo, shot an 81.
Andrew Vetters 82 and Zach
Lambs 86 rounded out Sacred Heart
Preps scoring.
CCS tennis
The county is without a representa-
tive in the Central Coast Section indi-
vidual tennis tournament.
After rst round wins by Matt
Campana of Serra and Corey Pang of
Carlmont, local tennis players fell in
second round competition Wednesday.
Pang, the Peninsula Athletic League
Player of the Year, made easy work of
Carmels Russell Poole 6-0, 6-1 before
running into Trevor James of
Bellarmine, who beat the Scot 6-2, 6-
0.
James actually took down two of the
PALs best by making short work of
Burlingames Scott Taggart 6-2, 6-0.
The loss ends an impressive freshman
campaign for Taggart.
Campana advanced on a scratch by
Westmonts Sriman Kolachalan but
lost a tough three-set battle to No. 3
Manpeet Twana 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
Menlos Buchanan wins CCS golf title
CLOVIS Slovakias Peter
Sagan of Slovakia raced to his
event-opening fourth straight stage
victory in the Tour of California on
Wednesday to increase his overall
lead to 16 seconds.
The 22-year-old Sagan, riding for
Liquigas-Cannondale, nished the
130.2-mile stage from Sonora to
Clovis the longest leg in the race
in 5 hours, 18 minutes, 8 seconds
in 95-degree conditions.
Today was a harder stage,
Sagan said. Today, I was thinking
it was not possible for me to win,
but (teammate) Daniel (Oss) said,
Today we work for you.
Australias Heinrich Haussler,
racing for Garmin-Barracuda, was
second for the fourth straight day,
about a bike-length behind.
Rabobanks Michael Matthews, also
from Australia, was third in the
stage.
Jeff Louder, the United
Healthcare rider from Salt Lake
City, was 34 seconds back in third
place with four stages left.

(Mid-Peninsula at Hwy 101 & Holly Street)
ARLINGTON, Texas
Expectations for Yu Darvish were
every bit as big as the contract he
signed to move from his native
Japan.
He continues to meet and perhaps
even exceed them.
Darvish pitched 7 2-3 strong
innings and Adrian Beltre had a
two-run homer to help the Texas
Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics
4-1 on Wednesday night.
He was very efcient and made
them swing the bat, Texas manager
Ron Washington said. Broke his
cutter out tonight and moved his
fastball around the zone.
Darvish (6-1) gave up one run and
four hits while striking out seven to
win his sixth game in seven deci-
sions and give a weary Rangers
bullpen a rest.
After giving up a run in the rst,
Darvish settled down and retired 11
of the last 15 batters he faced. He
lowered his ERA to 2.60. The
Rangers committed more than $107
million to acquire Darvish.
Mike Adams struck out Johnny
Gomes, who represented the tying
run, for the nal out in the eighth.
Joe Nathan struck out the side in the
ninth his eighth save.
No matter what the situation, I
try to throw as many inning as I can
and go as long as possible, Darvish
said through an interpreter when
asked if he was aware the bullpen
needed some downtime after long
man Scott Feldmans spot start
Monday, middle man Robbie Ross
and a Alexi Ogandos tireless work
over the last week.
I was able to throw with less
effort, Darvish said. Getting taken
out in the middle of the eighth is
something that Im not completely
satised with.
Craig Gentry and Elvis Andrus
each had two hits, including run-
scoring singles in a decisive fourth
inning.
Gentry beat out an ineld single
to third to score Nelson Cruz.
Oakland rookie pitcher Tommy
Milone (5-3) gave up four runs in
seven innings, holding the Rangers
offense down until the fourth.
I thought he threw the ball
extremely well, Oakland manager
Bob Melvin said. And really, if we
get the ball over to rst base on the
Gentry ground ball, its a 2-1 game.
I thought, considering its his
rst time pitching here to that line-
up, I dont know how he could have
done much better.
The Rangers sent nine players to
the plate in a four-run fourth inning
that was started by Josh Hamiltons
Yu Darvish shuts down As THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Roger
Clemens lawyer toyed with Brian
McNamees memory and attacked
him from several directions at once.
The attorney even put an easel next to
the witness with the words: MIS-
TAKE. BAD MEMORY. LIE.
Eventually, there came the inevitable
question: Do you sometimes just
make stuff up?
McNamee has frequently taken
long pauses before answering ques-
tions in three days on the witness
stand, but he didnt hesitate this time.
He leaned into the microphone and
said softly but assuredly: I didnt
make it up.
Clemens chief accuser was on the
stand for two hours of aggressive
cross-examination Wednesday on
one of the most important days
perhaps the most important in the
perjury trial of the seven-time Cy
Young Award winning pitcher.
Clemens is charged with lying when
he told Congress in 2008 that he
never used steroids or human growth
hormone.
McNamee has testied he injected
Clemens with both, and the credibili-
ty of Clemens former friend and
longtime strength coach will no
doubt be the No. 1 topic when the
jury starts deliberating the case.
Going for style over substance,
Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin was as
colorful as his outt bright orange
tie, cream-colored suit and contin-
ued his practice of mispronouncing
the witness name as mac-nah-MAY
instead of MAC-nah-mee. He
skipped from topic to topic without
warning, often confusing McNamee
while trying to sow seeds of doubt in
the jurors minds.
McNamee says he gave Clemens
injections of performance-enhancing
drugs in 1998, 2000 and 2001.
During questions about the 1998
injection, Hardin inadvertently intro-
duced evidence he had sought to keep
away from the jury.
McNamee:I didnt make it up
SAN FRANCISCO Jaime Garcia matched his career
high with nine strikeouts, David Freese hit a go-ahead solo
home run in the seventh inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals
gave manager Mike Matheny a victory against his old Giants
team with a 4-1 win Wednesday night.
Buster Posey hit a tying RBI single in the sixth against
Garcia (3-2) for San Francisco, which missed multiple scoring
chances yet again in what has been the biggest downfall for
this bunch.
Pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker added a two-run double in the
eighth for the Cardinals, who improved to 13-7 on the road.
In a matchup of the last two World Series champions, the
Giants didnt do enough to back Madison Bumgarner (5-3).
He lost his second straight start following a ve-start winning
streak on a breezy Bay Area night featuring a hovering mist
above the eld.
Garcia, who pitched a three-hitter in a 9-0 win over the
Giants on Aug. 22, 2010, in St. Louis, had another memorable
performance on the mound. While he allowed nine hits in 7 1-
3 innings, he didnt issue a walk for the rst time this year and
threw an efcient 92 pitches. The lefty also struck out nine San
Francisco batters on April 9, 2011.
Jason Motte pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine
opportunities.
Slugger Carlos Beltran missed his third straight game for St.
Louis with a sore and stiff right knee, but he could be available
in Thursday afternoons series nale against his former club.
Beltran spent the second half of 2011 with the Giants after a
trade from the New York Mets.
St. Louis took the lead in the rst when Rafael Furcal scored
on Allen Craigs elders choice. Furcal and Freese each had
three hits. Freese connected for his eighth home run with a
shot into the tunnel area in left eld with two outs in the sev-
enth, then doubled in the ninth.
Freese also singled in the fourth to snap an 0-for-17 funk,
helping the Cardinals win consecutive games after they avoid-
ed an 0-5 homestand by beating the Chicago Cubs 7-6 on
Tuesday.

The momentum of the whiffs car-
ried over to the Capuchino offense.
The Mustangs scored two runs in the
bottom half of the rst inning with
Tudury and Chia Santiago picking up
RBI singles as part of a four-hit
frame.
It was nice to score in the rst
inning, Grammatico said. It took
some of the pressure off. In all of our
games, we dont start scoring until the
second time through the order and it
was good to score early.
With the lead in hand, Tudury came
out and threw perfect innings in the
second and third.
I tried to tell myself that it was just
another game, stay focused, just pitch
how you can, dont try to do anything
too fancy or overwork, Tudury said.
I just acted as if it was another game
a much more important game, but
I just tried to keep calm.
Her offense was the ultimate calm-
ing factor for Tudury. Capuchino
exploded for six runs in the bottom of
the second inning, sending 11 batters
to the dish.
Lili Luevano led off with the walk
in the second and Eleni Katout sin-
gled to begin a trio of knocks by
Capuchino the latter, a single by
Alexis Coulter was good for an RBI.
The big hit of the frame was a triple
off the bat of Wassmer that brought
home a pair.
Actually, we faced a really good
pitcher last Tuesday against Carlmont
and she throws pretty hard, Wassmer
said of her teams plate approach on
Wednesday. So, it was hard to adjust
to this pitcher, although she was good
as well, the other girl threw a little
harder so we were working a lot at
practice and I think that helped a lot to
adjust.
Santiago picked up another RBI
with a single and shed later score on
an error at second base to make it 8-0
in favor of Capuchino.
I think the condence, in every-
one, has gone up toward the end of the
season, so everyone knows they can
hit, Tudury said of her teams hitting.
So when you go up to bat knowing
you can hit, you just hit better.
The rest of the contest was elemen-
tary.
Before Stevenson could score,
Capuchino added two more runs.
Again, it was an extra-base hit off the
bat of Wassmer that was the big blow.
No. 9 would later score on a Tudury
single.
Tudury got into her only trouble of
the game when she began the fourth
with a walk and a single. Those two
runners would come in to score.
Capuchino got the two runs back in
the fourth with Luevano getting the
party started on a base knock. Katout
brought her in with a triple of her
own. Shed later waltz home when
Kelly McDaid singled up the middle
to make it 12-2.
Tudury pitched a perfect fth to
seal the deal for Capuchino.
Its really important, Wassmer
said of the win, because now were
condent and we can go to the next
game condent as well. Were just
going to keep on cheering and prac-
ticing very hard so we can try to win
again.

His breaking ball was better than
it has been, Schoof said.
Menlo wasted little time in taking
the lead. After setting More down in
order in the top of the rst, Menlo
put together a two-out rally in the
bottom half of the frame. Chris
Zeisler singled and stole the rst of
seven Menlo stolen bases to get into
scoring position. He then came
home on Batchelders double over
the center elders head.
Menlo was shut out in the second
inning but, in the third, it started to
get its bats going. Diekroeger led off
the inning with a line drive over the
fence in right eld for a 2-0 Menlo
lead and it grew from there.
I thought it was going to be a
ground-rule double, Schoof said. I
didnt think it had enough height (to
clear the fence).
Zeisler followed with a bunt sin-
gle and went to third when the
throw to rst was high and went into
foul territory down the right-eld
line. Batchelder drove Zeisler in
with a groundout to put Menlo up 3-
0 after three.
Menlo doubled its advantage with
a three-run fourth. Graham
Stratford got the rally started with a
bloop double into no-mans land in
shallow center eld and he trotted
home on Avis first home run.
Batchelder, who reached on a eld-
ers choice, would later come
around to score on Sam Crowders
single up the middle.
The game ended during Menlos
next at-bat in the bottom of the fth,
as it scored four runs to reach the
10-run mark. Carson Badger
reached on an error and stole sec-
ond. He was sacriced to third by
Stratford and came home on Avis
moon shot. Later, with the bases
loaded, Crowder hit a comebacker
to the More pitcher. He threw home
to force out Diekroeger at the plate,
but the catchers throw to rst was
high and sailed into foul territory in
right field. Both Zeisler and
Batchelder came around to score
and end the game.
We did what we had to do,
Schoof said. Well have [Avis]
ready on Saturday.
Menlo will play either No. 10
Stevenson or No. 7 San Lorenzo
Valley in a quarterfinal game
Saturday at a time and place to be
announced.

PHILADELPHIA Kevin Garnett scored
27 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and used a
dominant second quarter to help the Boston
Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 107-91 on
Wednesday night and take a 2-1 lead in the
Eastern Conference seminals.
Whistled for a costly illegal pick late in a
Game 2 loss, Garnett crushed the Sixers early
and never let them think about a fourth-quarter
rally.
Garnett scored 13 of Bostons 32 points in the
second quarter and the Celtics became the rst
team to win by double digits. Game 1 and Game
2 were each decided by one point.
Rajon Rondo had 23 points and 14 assists.
Paul Pierce, playing with a banged-up knee, had
24 points and 12 rebounds.
Game 4 is Friday in Philadelphia.
Our offense nally came alive, Pierce said.
We moved the ball. We knew thats what we
were going to have to do to score 100 points.
Garnett had somehow become forgotten in
Bostons offense in Game 2 until the fourth
quarter. Coach Doc Rivers said the Celtics sim-
ply werent going to the 16-year veteran because
they had established an offensive presence in the
low post.
The Celtics wouldnt let that happen again.
They needed Garnett at his best in
Philadelphia, where the Sixers had won their last
four postseason games.
So much for that minor streak. Garnett yapped
his way down the court after several big early
buckets and clearly enjoyed taking it to the
Sixers. He buried those 10 to 16 footers with
ease in the second quarter to turn a seven-point
decit into a 13-point lead.
I thought a lot of guys tonight came and they
didnt think about what they were not doing
well, Rivers said. A lot of guys just came and
played.
The Celtics again heard the whispers that they
were too weary, too old to have their champi-
onship experience matter against the up-tempo
Sixers.
Pierce is gutting out an MCL injury in his left
knee that has robbed him of his jumper and
slowed him down on both sides of the ball. He
scored only 21 points combined in the rst two
games and failed to be the impact player the
Celtics needed if they want to play deeper in the
postseason.
He charged the lane in the rst quarter for a
couple of angry-looking dunks. He even pound-
ed the backboard for emphasis after one as if to
show the Sixers he still had some lift in those
legs.
Thats who he is, Rivers said. Thats how
hes been even when hes healthy. Pauls just a
grinder.
Hell need to do it again to hold off the Sixers.
Thaddeus Young scored 22 points and Jrue
Holiday had 15 for the Sixers. Lou Williams and
Jodie Meeks each scored 13. Starters Elton
Brand, Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner com-
bined for only 11 points.
Sometimes youve got to take it and go with
it and come back the next game, Young said.
Thats what weve got to do.
Wearing their matching red 76ers logo T-
shirts, fans ed for the exits at the 6-minute
mark and the Sixers down 101-76.
The Sixers hadnt hosted a second-round
game since 2003, when coach Larry Brown and
All-Star Allen Iverson ruled the town. Julius
Erving walked out to a roaring ovation when he
presented the game ball and Eagles quarterback
Michael Vick watched from a suite.

NEW YORK David Clarksons deected
goal 2:31 into the third period snapped a tie and
lifted the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2 victory
over the New York Rangers that evened the
Eastern Conference nals at one game apiece
on Wednesday night.
Clarkson built off the momentum created by
Ryan Carters goal late in the second period
that tied the game, 2-2. Ilya Kovalchuk had
given the Devils a 1-0 lead with a power-play
goal in the rst. Defenseman Bryce Salvador
added two assists, and Martin Brodeur stopped
23 saves for the win.
We had to keep going to the net, and I think
we were doing some good things, Clarkson
said. Weve been playing some good hockey
and weve got to continue to do it. That is a big
win for us.
Marc Staal and Chris Kreider scored in the
second for the Rangers, who lost their third
straight Game 2 after winning the series open-
er. Top-seeded New York, which had 24 saves
by Henrik Lundqvist, hasnt had a two-game
lead at any point in these playoffs.
Game 3 will be Saturday in New Jersey.
New Jersey got even at 2 when Salvador
wound up for a shot at the blue line and red a
drive that Carter with his back to the net
brilliantly deected past Lundqvist with 1:51
left in the second. Marian Gaborik stood up
straight in front of Salvador, but didnt drop
down as many of his teammates have to try to
block the shot. For that, he was pinned to the
bench by coach John Tortorella, even through
New Yorks power play in the third.
Gaborik returned to the ice with 8:40 remain-
ing.
The Devils kept the pressure on the Rangers
at the start of the third and wiped out the good
work New York displayed in the second. After
spending much of the rst penned in their own
end, the Rangers rebounded to erase their early
decit and briey take the lead thanks to their
previously inept power play.
With Alexei Ponikarovsky off for interfer-
ence, Staal red a shot that sailed wide of the
net and struck the back boards before popping
back in front and pinballing into the net off
Salvador and Brodeur at 2:23. The goal was
originally credited to Derek Stepan, who was in
front, but the puck managed to miss him both
on the way toward the net and on the bounce
back.
Staal nearly netted another moments later
when he ripped a drive that Brodeur had to
lunge fully to his left to snare with his glove.
Kreider, the rookie from Boston College,
scored for the second straight game to give the
Rangers a 2-1 lead at 12:19. Anton Stralman let
go a shot from above the right circle that ticked
Kreiders stick and uttered past Brodeur for
the rookies fourth goal. He had to wait to get it
because it was rst given to Stralman before
being changed during a commercial break.

He pitches to contact when I call for
certain pitches, Scott said. Grant has
good command of the outer half of the
plate. He pops his fastball very well
and has good command of his off-speed
(pitches). He doesnt have any fear of
throwing any pitch in any count.
His ve innings of work against
Hillsdale was the rst time he didnt
pitch a complete game since going six
innings against Half Moon Bay March
28.
When Goodman isnt on the mound,
he is equally dangerous as a hitter. He is
second on the team in batting with a
.353 average, is tied for the team lead in
hits with 24 and is third on the team in
RBI with 15.
Scott said he tweaked Goodmans
swing a little bit throughout the season
and it has paid off in the second half as
his power numbers have gone up. He
leads the Panthers, by far, in doubles
with 12. The next closest is Cody
Johnson with six.
Hes very deadly at the plate, Scott
said. I have him hitting with a little
more rhythm. Since we made that
adjustment, hes done some really good
things. He was clicking (at the plate)
before that, but the power numbers
went up after (making the adjustment).
With the playoffs beginning today
and a senior season yet to be played, the
sky appears to be the limit for
Goodman. Scott doesnt know if hell
be a hitter or pitcher at the next level, he
just knows Goodman can excel at both.
Hes probably a better hitter right
now, Scott said. Honestly, its up to
him. But if Im a scout, as hard as he
throws (consistently in the high 80s),
theyre going to put him on the mound.

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE
Grant Goodman allowed just one run on two hits in Burlingames
title-clinching win over Hillsdale last week.
Giants, then, should be in prime posi-
tion to make a run later in the season.
But many experts picked the Giants
to win the National League West, and
now they appear to be just spinning
their wheels, mired in the same prob-
lems as the last two seasons: lack of
production at the bottom of the order
and abysmal hitting with runners in
scoring position.
The Giants addressed their lack of
hitting by adding Melky Cabrera and
Angel Pagan, who are both off to solid
starts. Most of the rotation has been
locked in since a couple of shaky
weeks at the beginning of the season,
and Tim Lincecum appears to be nd-
ing whatever it was he was missing,
although he continues to grind through
every start. Nothing has been easy for
Big-Time Timmy Jim this season.
The biggest concern, especially with
Sandoval out, is the offensive produc-
tion of the ineld. So far, rst and sec-
ond base have been a black hole,
shortstop has been marginally better
but, considering Brandon Crawford
was put at short more for his glove
than his bat and hes already commit-
ted eight errors, manager Bruce Bochy
needs to seriously look at other alter-
natives.
The Giants biggest mistake during
the offseason was not have a legiti-
mate Plan B for Freddy Sanchez at
second base. By hoping for a healthy
Sanchez, the Giants took the chance
he would be back by now and were
willing to live with the likes of
Emmanuel Burriss, Ryan Theriot
and now Charlie Culberson at sec-
ond as a short-term stopgap. Now,
with Sanchezs return still in question,
were starting to see how huge the
hole is at second.
So whats the answer? Its just to
survive around the .500 mark until
reinforcements arrive. If Sandoval can
come back healthy and pick up where
he left off, that will give the Giants a
huge boost. Also, you can expect gen-
eral manager Brian Sabean to make
some kind of move for a bat around
the trade deadline.
With their pitching staff, the Giants
are built for post-season play, when
runs are hard to come by and strong
pitching can keep teams in games.
They are not built, however, for the
grind of a 162-game season. All these
one-run games mentally exhaust teams
and walking the knife edge all season
long is, as Duane Kuiper famously
said, torture. They will have to scratch
and claw their way into the playoffs
which we found out last year is no
sure thing.
There are still 120-something games
left to play and theres no need to live
and die with every pitch in mid-May.
Like they say, its not how you start
but how you nish. Will 2012 end like
2010 or 2011?
Of course diehard fans will say this
season ends with a World Series title,
while the realist will say lets wait and
see.
Im in the second camp.

NATION/WORLD
By Elizabeth A. Kennedy
and Zeina Karam
BEIRUT In his rst interview since
December, Syrian President Bashar Assad
insisted Tuesday his regime is ghting back
against foreign mercenaries who want to over-
throw him, not innocent Syrians aspiring for
democracy in a yearlong uprising.
The interview with Russian TV showed
Assad is still standing his ground, despite
widespread international condemnation over
his deadly crackdown on dissent.
There are foreign mercenaries, some of
them still alive, Assad said in an interview
broadcast Wednesday on Russian state news
channel Rossiya-24. They are being detained
and we are preparing to show them to the
world.
Assad also cautioned against meddling in
Syria, warning neighboring nations that have
served as transit points for contraband
weapons being smuggled into the country that
if you sow chaos in Syria you may be infect-
ed by it yourself.
He did not elaborate, but rebels and anti-
regime activists say Syrian forces have mined
many of the smuggling routes where weapons
ow into Syria mainly from neighboring
Turkey and Lebanon.
Assad, who inherited power from his father
in 2000, still has a rm grip on power in Syria
some 14 months into a revolt that has torn at
the countrys fabric and threatened to under-
mine stability in the Middle East.
The U.N. estimated in March that the vio-
lence has killed more than 9,000 people, and
hundreds more have been killed since then as
a revolt that began with mostly peaceful calls
for reform transforms into an armed insur-
gency.
A group known as the Free Syrian Army is
determined to bring down the regime by force
of arms, targeting military checkpoints and
other government sites.
A U.N. observer team with more than 200
members has done little to quell the blood-
shed, and some even have been caught up in
the violence themselves.
Six observers had to be evacuated from a
northern town controlled by the opposition
Wednesday, a day after a roadside bomb hit
their convoy and left them stranded overnight
with rebel forces.

WASHINGTON Army leaders have
begun to study the prospect of sending female
soldiers to the services prestigious Ranger
school another step in the effort to broaden
opportunities for women in the military.
Gen. Raymond Odierno, Army chief of
staff, said Wednesday that hes asked senior
commanders to provide him with recommen-
dations and a plan this summer. And while he
stressed that no decisions have been made, he
suggested that Ranger school may be a logical
next step for women as they move into more
jobs closer to the combat lines.
If we determine that were going to allow
women to go in the infantry and be successful,
they are probably at some time going to have
to go through Ranger school, Odierno told
reporters. If we decide to do this, we want the
women to be successful.
According to Odierno, about 90 percent of
senior Army infantry ofcers have gone to the
school and are qualied as Rangers. Allowing
women to go to Ranger school, he said, would
allow them to be competitive with their male
counterparts as they move through the ranks.
Going to Ranger school, however, does not
automatically mean women would be allowed
to serve in one of the Armys three elite
Ranger battalions, which are Army special
operations forces. In fact, many male soldiers
who wear the coveted Ranger tab on their uni-
forms never actually serve in one of the three
battalions.
Currently, women are not allowed to serve
as special operations, infantry or armor forces,
which are considered the most dangerous
combat jobs. They are, however, allowed to
serve in a number of support jobs such as
medics, military police and intelligence of-
cers that are sometimes attached to combat
brigade units.
Odierno said his commanders are looking at
whether the Army should open up infantry
and armor jobs to women, and how that
should be done.

Greece gets caretaker
until new vote in June
By Elena Becatoros

ATHENS, Greece A senior judge has
been sworn in to head Greeces caretaker gov-
ernment for a month as the debt-crippled
country lurches through a political crisis that
threatens its membership in the 17-nation
eurozone.
The political uncertainty is worrying
Greeces international creditors as well as
Greeks themselves, who have withdrawn hun-
dreds of millions of euros from banks since
the May 6 election.
Council of State head Panagiotis
Pikrammenos, 67, was appointed Wednesday
to head a government that will lack the man-
date to make any binding commitments until a
new election, which is expected June 17.
His 16-strong Cabinet will be sworn in
Thursday.
About (euro) 700 million ($898 million) in
deposits have left Greek banks since May 7,
the day after the election, President Karolos
Papoulias told party leaders after being
briefed by central bank governor George
Provopoulos.
The situation in the banks is very difcult,
Papoulias said according to a transcript of the
meetings minutes released Tuesday night.
Mr. Provopoulos told me that of course there
is no panic, but there is great fear which could
turn into panic.

Building a boat:
The rewards of
doing it yourself
By Jesica Glazer
My father was recovering from a heart attack, ipping
through a magazine at the library, when he decided to build his
rst boat.
He saw an ad for a wooden kayak kit, and something about
the grace of the construction and the fact that it was done by
hand struck him. Despite a lack of woodworking skills, he
decided to try building one himself.
The process was slow and plodding, he said. But then a
light bulb goes off in your head and you realize why it was
designed that way, why it ts that way.
That was back in 2001, and there have been other projects
since: a 14-foot sailboat, a second kayak and a guitar. Working
with wood is a constant learning experience for my dad, Russ
Glazer. On the phone, hell launch into a breathless discussion
of scarf joints, rolling bevels or Brazilian blood wood. He stud-
ies diagrams, calls manufacturers, browses online forums,
reads instructions, and collects purple bruises and bloodied n-
gers.
Its human nature to challenge yourself, he said.
There are plenty of do-it-yourself projects out there: growing
a garden, brewing beer, making jewelry, sewing clothes.
Building boats requires a particular kind of commitment. Its
complex and expensive. It can take months or years.
And it can be addictive, working out in the garage, sawdust
clinging to your clothes, making mistakes and nding the solu-
tions yourself. After the wood is sanded, chiseled and planed,
the boat is not merely assembled, but carved and coaxed into
graceful curves that allow it to glide through water. In the end,
youre left with a product that can either deliver you safely to
harbor or not, depending on the quality of your labor.
Because the lesson is so clear work hard, get a boat that
oats - John Goodman, an interior designer from Houston, saw
an opportunity to teach his kids the value of diligence and
proper planning. He spent six months building a Goat Island
Skiff with his daughter Desiree and son David, and when it
was done, he and David, then 12, sailed it 200 miles along the
coast in the 2010 Texas 200 race, camping ashore at night.
Many people advised against the trip, including, initially, the
skiffs designer, Michael Storer, who said it was designed for
calmer conditions. A Goat Island Skiff is similar to a rowboat
with sails. It lacks the stability of a larger berglass boat. Shift
your weight too abruptly or turn the tiller too fast and the boat
jerks to the side like a spooked horse. Even in sheltered waters,
wind changes can present a challenge.

When we furnish a room, many of us
carefully measure to be sure the couch
isnt too wide or the dining room table
too long. We draw a horizontal map,
determined to t everything in without
crowding.
But design experts do something
more: They think vertically.
Kitchen and bath designer Matthew
Quinn, principal of Design Galleria
Kitchen and Bath Studio in Atlanta, says
that as designers learn to sketch room
layouts in design school, they discover
the impact of the vertical and horizontal
lines that furnishings and architecture
create.
For example, a homeowner might not
realize that a dark countertop contrasting
with lighter cabinets underneath will
create a horizontal line across the room,
making the ceiling feel lower and the
kitchen smaller.
One of the main reasons that clients
hire designers is that grasping scale can
be difcult, says interior designer Kyle
Schuneman of Live Well Designs in Los
Angeles.
Ready for your own crash-course in
thinking vertically?
Quinn, Schuneman and
decordemon.com founder Brian Patrick
Flynn offer tips on how to work effec-
tively with the heights of furniture,
draperies and decorative pieces:
MAXIMIZE SMALL SPACES
To make a small or low room feel big-
ger, draw some vertical lines, says
Schuneman.
Hang the curtains all the way to the
ceiling, not to where windows stop. Your
eye visually feels like the space has been
lifted, he says.
Patterned wallpaper or painted stripes
on a wall can also help do the trick.
For tile bathrooms and kitchen back-
splashes, Quinn suggests hanging rec-
tangular subway-style wall tiles vertical-
ly, so they appear as tall, thin pieces.
People normally use subway tiles hori-
zontally, presenting them as short, wide
rectangles.
BRING INTIMACY
TO LARGE SPACES
The same principles work in reverse.
You can bring a large room down to a
more comfortable scale by adding hori-
zontal lines through contrasting colors
or added surfaces.
A kitchen island with several levels
will make a high-ceilinged kitchen feel
cozier, says Quinn.
To decorate a huge loft space recently,
Schuneman used lower seating proles
for all the couches and side chairs, and
that really kind of created a nook within
a big space. It became a room within a
room, perfect for intimate conversation.
PLAY WITH LIGHT
Lighting also can bring a large room
down to size or add the impression of lift
to lower ceilings.
When spaces are tall, grounding
them with pendant lights or chandeliers
really makes a space seem more inti-
mate, Flynn says.
Quinn agrees: We notice hanging
lights in relation to the heads of people
standing in a room. Lights that hang
within a few inches of the heads of your
tallest guests will make even a very tall
room feel warm and welcoming.
For low-ceilinged rooms, try recessed
ceiling lighting instead of hanging
lights. Quinn suggests choosing smaller,
pin-point recessed lights rather than the
wider, can lights. The larger ones can
make you feel as though a spotlight is
bearing down on you.
Another trick: If your ceiling lighting
can be positioned, point lights toward
the sides of the room rather than directly
downward. This widens and opens up
the space.
ADD DRAMA
You can have fun with height in bed-
rooms, Flynn says, even if the ceiling is
low. I do this by playing with scale and
proportion in relation to tall, architectur-
al headboards or platform beds, he says.
Similar to a giant chandelier in a grand
entry, I love walking into a bedroom and
being greeted by a statement bed. To
keep a tall headboard from being too
tall, I counterbalance it with hefty bed-
side chests, and either hanging pendant
lamps above them, or by bringing in
super-tall table lamps.
Or use art to play with dimensions: A
super wide, extra tall piece of art over a
simple sofa in a living room can strike
Vertical lines add lots to a room

Gardening in a small space can be
challenging, but some of the nicest
gardens I have seen have been small
and incredibly well thought out.
Creating a small garden is much
more difcult than creating a large
one because each component of a
small garden is critical to its suc-
cess.
I lived in New York City for sev-
eral years and learned some creative
ways to garden in small spaces. City
gardens, for those lucky enough to
have one, tend to be narrow and
long and often have limited
amounts of sunlight. These chal-
lenging spaces require well-
informed decisions when it comes
to planting. Often the problem is
less about which plants will work
and more about editing down the
choices.
Many city gardeners with con-
fined spaces have learned that,
while they may not have much hor-
izontal space, they have plenty of
vertical space. And what is the best
way to take advantage of vertical
space? Plant vines.
Vines as a group of plants tend to
be underused in most gardens, and
that is unfortunate. They provide
multiple solutions to design prob-
lems. Requiring no more than some
support to wrap themselves around
or rest on, most vines direct their
energy into growing upwards when-
ever possible. They can be used
effectively in creating visual screens
when trained on a well-placed trellis
or can be the perfect solution for
covering up an unsightly feature
like an old fence.
Fast-growing annual vines like
hyacinth bean, moon vine and bottle
gourd can grow as much as 15-20
feet in a season and will grow over
almost anything, provided they have
plenty of sun, water, warmth and
good soil. Perennial vines like trum-
pet vine, honeysuckle and many
varieties of clematis may take a few
years to establish; once they are,
they can be almost as vigorous as
annual vines, with the added advan-
tage of returning year after year.
Many vines will also grow lateral-
ly if that is their only option. Thus,
they can be useful for creating over-
head shade on top of an arbor or
pergola. Some even perform effec-
tively as ground covers. I have seen
both climbing hydrangea and
Virginia creeper used this way to
great effect. Some vines will even
cascade back down toward the
ground if they outgrow the vertical
support holding them up, often with
dramatic effect. English Ivy is prone
to this; I recall a particular garden in
New York I with a tall chain-link
fence with ivy cascading from the
top, giving the appearance of a dark
green waterfall.
Some vines start out small but
become behemoths over time, and
thought should be given to choosing
the right vine for the right location.
Many can be downright destructive.
Aggressive growers like wisteria are
capable of growing thick, python-
like stems that can eventually over-
whelm trees if allowed to grow into
them. They rapidly grow upwards
toward the light until they reach the
canopy, where their own leaves
block their hosts access to the sun,
often with lethal results.
The fast, vigorous growth of wis-
teria could easily overwhelm a
small arbor or trellis, but could be
the perfect solution for creating
shade on a pergola over a large deck
that would be inaccessible to other
less vigorous growers.
When choosing vines for your
garden, keep the plants overall
habits in mind. If you want to screen
out the view into your neighbors
yard, for example, training English
ivy on a trellis or fence could be the
perfect solution, since it is ever-

Perennial vines like trumpet vine, honeysuckle and many varieties of
clematis may take a few years to establish; once they are, they can be

DAILY DOOR BUSTERS THROUGH OUT THE STORE
By Lee Reich
Why do some trees weep?
Because they want to grow down.
Instead of reaching for the sky, as most
trees do, young stems of weeping trees
toy only briey with upward growth
before arching gracefully earthward.
Some plants begin to weep in earnest
only after they get some age to them.
Many yards benet from some weep-
ing tree, whether its a willow along a
streambank, a weeping cherry lending
grace and tranquility to a front lawn, or a
weeping beech providing a hideaway for
kids. The only caution with weeping
trees is not to plant too many, which
might mean more than one. Otherwise,
the scene can look sad indeed.
IN THE BEGINNING
A weeping tree may have begun life as
a random seedling whose quirky
arrangement of genes directed its stems
to weep. Some such plants, although
woody, could hardly be called trees. A
weeping kind of goat willow, for exam-
ple, makes a kind of billowing ground-
cover never rising more than a few feet
off the ground.
Or, a weeping tree may have begun
life with normal stature until some
cells in some branch underwent a slight
mutation to a weeping habit. Perhaps the
mutation was caused by sunlight or tem-
perature; perhaps it was spontaneous. At
any rate, all new stems and branches
originating from those changed cells
weep.
MAKING NEW WEEPING TREES
Now lets make new plants from that
weeping seedling or weeping branches.
If the plant is one that roots easily from
cuttings, you could just clip off a branch,
stick it in the ground or some potting
soil, and nurture it along. Problem is that
if the tree is a heavy weeper, it will never
get much off the ground.
To get that weeper up off the ground,
or to create a weeping tree from a plant
that doesnt root readily from cuttings,
graft a stem or bud from the weeping
plant atop a trunk of some upright plant.
As with any graft, success is possible
only if the trunk section is closely relat-
ed to the weeping stem piece. The graft
juncture is usually obvious throughout
the life of the tree.
To create a real, taller tree out of a
ground-hugging weeper, or if the plant is
one that doesnt root readily from cut-
tings, graft a stem or bud from the weep-
ing plant atop a trunk of some upright
plant. As with any graft, success is pos-
sible only if the trunk section is closely
related to the weeping stem piece. The
graft juncture is usually obvious
throughout the life of the tree.
Sometimes a branch of a weeping tree
will all of a sudden start reaching sky-
ward. (Talk about a wacky looking tree!)
That stem could have arisen from a bud
Why do some trees weep?
Plants remember,
adapt to survive
By Betsy Blaney
LUBBOCK, Texas No ones talking about giving intelli-
gence tests, but researchers say theyve shown that plants have
smarts the sort needed to help them survive dry times.
Years from now the ndings could lead to crops that are better
able to withstand drought conditions. Already, studies on two
crops have shown they too have short-term memory for surviving
dry times, University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher Michael
Fromms said.
He contends his teams ndings are the rst of their kind in life
forms above yeasts.
The outcome of Fromms initial study, with a member of the
mustard family, conrmed what many nursery professionals and
home gardeners have observed: Stressing plants helps them adapt
and aids them in surviving transplanting.
Its important that its in all plants, but the next part of the
story will have to move the research forward, Fromm said.
Theres no question this is a critical long-term problem. Drought
tolerance is extremely important but its also extremely difcult.
He declined to name the two crops he and his team studied sub-
sequent to work with Arabidopsis the mustard plant citing
condentiality issues with the peer-reviewed journal scheduled to
publish those results later this year.
In the mustard plant research, Fromm and his team compared
reactions of plants stressed by withholding water to those that got
water. The ones that went without water the trained or stressed
plants bounced back more quickly the next time they got
dehydrated. Those that got water the untrained or non-stressed
plants wilted faster and their leaves lost water at a faster rate
than the trained ones.
There were changes at a molecular level when the trained
plants were deprived of water again. When water was then made
available, the changes reverted back to normal levels. That
changed, though, after subsequent periods of drought as the
plants remembered their molecular response to stress.
Theres a connection between the environmental stress, the
drought, and the plant response with not only physiological
changes but developmental changes, Fromm said. Thats a
decision the plant makes that we think this process can inu-
ence.
The mustard plant forgot the previous stress memory after
ve days of watering, but the researchers said other plants mem-
ories could be different.
It kind of backs up what a lot of people have thought, Texas
Tech horticulture professor Thayne Montague said. Once a plant
is exposed to stress, drought ... it can be a benecial response
short term. Now, long term that hasnt really been looked at.
One Lubbock woman, president of the citys 60-member mas-
ter gardener program, said she thinks a plants roots are keys to
drought survival. The shorter the root, a result of overwatering,
the less the plant will tolerate drought.
Plants dont think, Barbara Robertson said. It almost has to
have something to do with the root system. A stressed plant with
deep roots is going to do better.
The Nebraska research teams results could be transferred to
row crops, such as corn, cotton or wheat, but that potential is still
about 20 years away, Fromm said. Ideally, the goal would be to
have the memory last from growing season to growing season.

development proposals for the site in 2005.
As with all BIT investments, all onsite construction will be
performed by members afliated with local unions.
This project is expected to create over 300 union construc-
tion jobs, Bill Nack, secretary-treasurer of the San Mateo
Building and Construction Trades Council wrote in a state-
ment. To say the least, we are excited by this prospect.
City ofcials are excited too.
This is great news. We need more housing, said
Councilman Jack Matthews. The project will provide jobs for
people who live here and they in return will spend their money
here.
Deputy Mayor David Lim agreed.
I am excited to see the new apartment units in San Mateo
will be built with local union labor, Lim wrote in an email.
The transit-oriented development will be within walking dis-
tance of the downtown Burlingame Caltrain station.
The development sits on three acres and will feature an out-
door pool and playground along with a dog park, tness center
on multiple levels with underground parking, according to the
developers.
A groundbreaking for the project will be June 1 and con-
struction is expected to be completed by December 2013.
When you see union members back to work on BIT job
sites, its impossible not to feel an appreciation and loyalty to
this program, Mike Stotz, president of the AFL-CIO
Investment Trust Corporation, wrote in a statement.
The architect for the project is Thomas P. Cox, Architects
Inc., of Irvine. A joint venture of Devcon Construction, Inc.
and Regis Contractors Bay Area will serve as the construction
manager and general contractor.
The AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust is a commercial
real estate fund with approximately $2.9 billion in assets. The
mission of the BIT is to provide competitive, risk-adjusted
returns for its pension plan participants through investments in
commercial real estate while promoting economic develop-
ment and creating union jobs.
HOMES
the perfect balance between the furnishings and the architec-
ture, Flynn says.
CREATE STORAGE
Furniture that extends to the ceiling can visually open up
the space, but also give you all that storage youd lose other-
wise, Schuneman says.
So build custom cabinets all the way to the ceiling or choose
pieces of furniture that reach as close to your ceiling as possi-
ble.
People often use a cabinet that they already have, which
doesnt reach the ceiling, and then try to add storage baskets on
top, he says, instead of buying the right piece that taller
piece from the beginning.
DISTRACT FROM A BAD VIEW
The best places to use tall, vertical furnishings are in rooms
where stellar views arent the main attraction, says Flynn. I
wouldnt be quick to do high-back, Hollywood Regency chairs
along a oor-to-ceiling glass wall in a Manhattan high-rise
overlooking Central Park.
If youve made the right decisions about height, Schuneman
says, then you can ll a space with furnishings without feeling
overcrowded. It sounds counterintuitive, he says. But the
more furniture you put into a space, it does actually open up
the space. It shows how usable it is.
VERTICAL
Yet the Goodmans forged ahead. The
trip was completed successfully, and so
was the parental lesson.
We built something that our lives
depended on, a lifeboat, said Goodman.
They have great pride in that.
Another boat builder, Nick Offerman,
portrays the gruff Ron Swanson, a dis-
gruntled city employee, on NBCs
Parks & Recreation and, like the char-
acter, enjoys building canoes.
Offerman grew up working on a fami-
ly farm in Illinois where he learned to x
barns and build fences. In Chicago, he
built sets to help support himself as a
young actor. Then, when he moved to
Los Angeles and married actress Megan
Mullally (Will & Grace), he wasnt
ready to leave woodworking behind. He
found a warehouse near the Golden State
Freeway where, on his days off, he
builds furniture from fallen trees.
I needed a response (to the city).
There is so much plastic and glitter to
this town, said Offerman, sitting in the
cavernous woodworking studio. The
warehouse is lled with slabs of wood
stacked against the walls, tools hanging
from hooks, and two canoes suspended
from the ceiling.
It was a way for me to keep attached
to my family, and feel that I was main-
taining my manhood, he added.
Offerman has built many things but
building a canoe was different, requiring
more eyeballing, more judgments made
without precise measurements. With the
boat, as with his other woodworking
projects, he takes pride in sturdy con-
struction.
I wanted to learn how to build things
the way people built them when they
lasted, he said.
You can watch Offerman build his rst
canoe in a video at his website
OffermanWoodshop.com. He narrates
with the same deadpan voice as the char-
acter he plays, but there are moments
when a childlike giddiness comes
through. OK, so far its working, he
says at one point and giggles with joy as
he watches the canoe take shape beneath
his hands.
That sense of accomplishment is what
led Adam Green of New York City to
found Rocking the Boat, a nonprot that
recruits teenagers from the South Bronx
to build boats after school. In a ware-
house along a sparkling stretch of the
Bronx River, students who have never
taken a shop class learn how to use
power tools, read blueprints and prob-
lem-solve. They build sailboats and row-
boats under 20 feet, and are working on
a 30-foot whaling boat commissioned by
the Mystic Seaport museum, in Mystic,
Conn. The whaling boat will take more
than two years and 24 students to com-
plete.
Green uses boat-building to teach
independence, follow-through and con-
dence.
So many of our efforts go physically
unrewarded, said Green. It feels good
to build something and touch what you
make, especially in this digital age.
We are creatures who can make
things, he said, and that gives us a rea-
son for living.
BOAT
green, and if kept on the fence will take
up little space. This is a common solu-
tion in city gardens. However, keep in
mind that English ivy can grow upwards
of 100 feet, and in many parts of the
country it is considered a pernicious
invasive species. To keep it where you
want it and looking good, you will need
to trim it several times during the grow-
ing season.
Most vines, once they are trained onto
a support, need an occasional pruning to
keep them in shape and, like many
shrubs, should be cut back before new
growth begins each spring. There are
exceptions to this rule, and some ower-
ing vines (including certain clematis)
have particular pruning requirements to
maximize owering.
No matter what part of the country
you garden in, there are dozens of vines
to choose from for your garden. When
deciding, start by examining the condi-
tions the plant will be growing in. Dont
try to grow a sun lover in full shade and
vice versa. There are many resources
available both online and at your local
library to help you choose the best vines
for your garden.
If your garden is small, dont forget to
take advantage of vertical space. By
planting a few vines you could end up
with more to enjoy than you ever imag-
ined.
VINES
below the point where the graft was
made. Or a weeping tree that originated
as a branch mutation might have
retained some non-weeping cells. In
either case, just cut any nonweeping
stems right back to their origins.
MANY THAT WEEP
Looking beyond the ubiquitous weep-
ing cherries and crabapples, weeping
trees are not all that rare.
Japanese dogwood (Cornus kousa) is a
lovely tree whose white blossoms unfold
after the leaves are fully out; the variety
Elizabeth Lustgarten has somewhat
weepy upper branches. Pendulum, a
weeping form of Katsuratree
(Cercidiphyllum japonicum), presents a
waterfall of bluish green leaves.
For a weeping evergreen, few are
more graceful than the Sargent hemlock.
Or more odd than a weeping form of
giant sequoia, whose leading stem push-
es skyward in ts and starts, zigging and
zagging and dipping along the way but
always remaining clothed in a shaggy
mane of droopy branches.

gling with hoarding, a disorder that affects
approximately 25,000 people in San
Mateo County.
Hoarding can take over your life, said
Ebner, who at one point had ve storage
units for all of his personal property.
In his home, he had cleared paths
through his countless items to walk from
room to room. He was unable to entertain
guests in his home.
You live your own life, but it doesnt
include other people, he said.
Ebners landlord connected him with
the Stanford Department of Psychiatry for
treatment. Unfortunately, Ebner was still
at the risk of losing his home because he
was violating re code.
People cant just stop overnight when
they have been [hoarding] for a number of
years, he said.
The psychiatry department referred
Ebner to Alan Merrield, CEO of
Peninsula Community Services.
Merrield, who has had experience with
hoarders, was able to connect Ebner with
a professional organizer. By working with
the professional organizer, Ebner was able
to pass safety inspections and stay in his
home.
Im not completely healed, but Im a
lot better off, said Ebner, who is now
comfortable entertaining in his home.
Im living my life more than I did
before.
Now Ebner serves on the Peninsula
Community Services board and is helping
to educate others particularly rst
responders about hoarding. He is
speaking at PCSs rst Enhanced Harm
Reduction for Hoarders workshop in
Redwood Shores today.
The goal of the workshop is to educate
community members that might interact
with hoarders police, reghters, psy-
chiatrists, property managers, social
workers, code enforcement ofcers on
the services that can help reduce the
health and safety issues posed by hoard-
ing.
Sometimes residents do not get 60 days
to get cleaned up, said Ebner.
Sometimes [ofcers] come back the
next day with a dump truck, he said. It
can be really traumatic for the person that
has a hoarding problem.
Ebner hopes the PCS program will
enable the community to connect hoarders
with the right resources.
If we can make homes safer, healthier,
more comfortable places to live, it will
make it easier for an emergency person to
come in, said Merrield, who has made
helping hoarders the new mission of PCS.
The workshop will go over the many
services in the county that can help
nance cleanup and home repair, or help
install smoke detectors, for example.
Code ofcers will then be able to broker
these services that can help to dehazard
homes, said Merrield.
We want to be unequivocal advocates
for these people, he said.
This will be the rst program that focus-
es primarily on eliminating the health and
safety hazards caused by hoarding, said
Merrield. He hopes to bring assistance to
the hoarders who are not actively seeking
help.
There has never been a program in this
county for this group of people, he said.
We think its long overdue.
Many hoarders are not seeking help
because they are worried about losing
their homes or being forced to comply
with code immediately, said Merrield.
This is something that the enhanced harm
reduction program hopes to overcome so
residents can gradually work in a positive
direction to tackle the problem.
People are not seeking help because
they are misunderstood, said Merrield.
They are hiding because the whole
population is stigmatized, he said.
A lot of people scoff at this as an actu-
al problem, agreed Dr. Joanne Chan, a
clinical psychologist based in San
Francisco. They think its just a lifestyle
choice.
Chan, who leads a treatment group for
PCS, will also be speaking at todays
workshop.
There is a big difference between
hoarding and just being messy, she said. It
becomes hoarding when the behavior is
affecting life routines, she said.
It is about the level of clutter, but it is
also about impairing function and causing
distress, she said.
Chan compared hoarding to an array of
mental health issues addiction, depres-
sion and anxiety.
Its an actual clinical disorder, she
said.
The enhanced harm reduction program
will be a non-judgmental way to go about
making gradual improvements, said Chan.
Instead of being punitive, we will offer
options, she said.
The PCS group hopes to provide ongo-
ing education on Enhanced Harm
Reduction for Hoarders and expand the
program to other neighboring counties.
The Enhanced Harm Reduction for
Hoarders workshop is today from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. at the Sobrato Nonprot
Conference Center in Redwood Shores. To
register, call Alan Merrield at (650) 343-
4380 or email him at amerrield@hoard-
ers.org. Representatives from the PCS will
also be at the Senior Showcase
Information Fair Friday, May 18 at the
Burlingame Recreation Center. The fair
runs from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
For more information on hoarding and
local resources for hoarders visit hoard-
ers.org.
HELP
and deep disappointment this terrible inci-
dent occurred, but said it needs to stay
focused on its job. He said previous criti-
cism by boardmember Betsey Schneider,
who helped uncover the alleged embez-
zlement and called the district out of con-
trol, does not represent the board or the
district.
Cassman also urged LAFCo to keep the
district as is, particularly as it is already on
a better path.
Human beings are not perfect. The
human institutions we create are not per-
fect. ... But we human beings do learn
from our mistakes, said Cassman, calling
the district now a more perfect agency.
But LAFCo members said Cassmans
letter to the district essentially echoing
her comments before the board yesterday
did not do justice to the hefty task
before it.
This just basically says dont worry
about anything. We have it all under con-
trol and we are dedicated people, said
LAFCo Boardmember Sepi Richardson,
also a Brisbane councilwoman.
Without deeper internal controls,
Richardson said, Were going to be back
here in no time at all.
LAFCo Boardmember Don Horsley,
also a San Mateo County supervisor,
echoed the sentiment, saying that the only
change in operations appears to be having
someone new provide the nal set of eyes.
This looks to me like exactly the same
thing as before, he said.
The board and public comments offered
at yesterdays LAFCo meeting will be
incorporated into a nal report on the dis-
trict and include a recommendation to
maintain the status quo or alter it in some
way. Options include dissolution and fold-
ing into another county function, dissolu-
tion and creating of a new service area or
changes to the 21-member board of
trustees.
The report is due back in July.
LAFCo pushed up the districts regular-
ly scheduled review after two former
nance employers, including one with
two prior embezzlement convictions,
were charged with taking more than
$400,000 and questions arose over the
internal organization that may have con-
tributed to the alleged crime.
The district calls dissolution or reorgan-
ization unwarranted, particularly because
of the corrective measures already imple-
mented.
The LAFCo board lauded the districts
work and its efforts but said the two-mem-
ber nance staff needs more controls and
possibly more staff. County Controller
Bob Adler said the district has the same
red ags as many others, particularly
the mom and pop accounting methods.
Horsley, though, said that is even more
reason to have internal controls the dis-
trict is managing taxpayer funds.
Its not a mom and pop operation.
Mom and pop is mom and pops money,
he said.
Adler suggested LAFCo more broadly
take a lead role in working with all special
districts on internal improvements and
possibly establishing a nance committee.
LAFCO
grandparents sold them for in the 1970s.
They are calling it a cannoli party and
will crown San Mateo resident Joanne
Curley as the Cannoli Queen as she was
the lucky person to purchase the millionth
cannoli from Romolos.
Curley gets a free cannoli a day for the
next year as part of her prize.
New customers to Romolos can get a
brief history of the shop, hear and see how
cannolis are made and sample the
spumoni.
They are all handcrafted by me and my
brother, Joe told a customer Wednesday.
We make it all ourselves.
Joes favorite cannoli is chocolate with
pistachios.
The brothers grandparents moved to
the Bay Area from Italy in 1958, bringing
along their special desert recipes.
Romolos has been at the same spot on
37th Avenue since 1970 and the brothers
spent many a summer at the shop during
their summer vacations from Southern
California.
As children, the bubblegum ice cream
was their favorite.
We would go straight for the bub-
blegum box and stuff our faces, Mike, 26,
said.
As their grandparents got older, they
would return to Italy for summers and
close the shop for months.
In 2008, the grandparents invited the
brothers to take over the shop and they
spent countless hours training side by side
with their grandparents learning the craft.
This was my rst job, Joe, 30, said. I
loved the ice cream store and I couldnt
stand the thought of it going away.
So, the two brothers relocated from
Southern California and are continuing
the family business.
It is important we preserve the family
names reputation, Joe said. Every prod-
uct we sell is important since it says
Romolos on the door.
Cannolis are baked or fried shells lled
with ricotta or ice cream, topped with
nuts, cherries or other delights.
The brothers swear by the ice cream,
too.
We have the best spumoni in the Bay
Area. Maybe a couple of chefs around
here can do as well, Joe said about the
Italian desert.
Spend some time in the shop and you
can see the brothers enjoy each others
company.
This is a great job. Were not getting
rich but I get to hang out with my brother
all day and take ice cream breaks whenev-
er I want, said Joe, who is getting married
next month.
Mike, on the other hand, is single and
available, they joked.
Romolos Cannoli and Spumoni
Factory is currently closed Mondays and
Tuesdays but open the rest of the week. It
closes a little earlier on Sundays as the
37th Avenue business district gets quiet,
Joe said.
The brothers grandparents still live
locally but are set to return to Italy as they
are ofcially retired.

CANNOLI
THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Resign yourself to the
fact that everything you want to do currently is likely to
take the maximum effort in order to get even minimal
results. Fortunately, you have the patience required.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont get caught off
guard and allow yourself to get tapped for a task
involving a club or social organization that everyone
else has artfully avoided, with good reason.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Unfortunately, you may
be inclined to use tactics that could end up defeating
your own purposes. If you insist on tripping over your
own feet, nothing will get accomplished.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If at all possible, avoid a
friend who is frequently afficted with biased view-
points that rub you the wrong way. You arent likely to
have the necessary tolerance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its one of those days
when everything will be out of proportion, including
poor behavior. Dont hesitate to refuse someone who
is always borrowing this or that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- One of the major reasons
you are not likely to get much cooperation from
companions might be that youre too insistent about
everything being done your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Perhaps the only way to
get past you ignoring sensible health-habits today is
to make yourself see what this kind of behavior is do-
ing to others. If you look, you wont like what you see.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you see some-
thing disturbing brewing between two friends, try to
steer clear. You wont want to be forced into choosing
a side.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do your best to help
resolve a domestic altercation that arises between
two warring family members as quickly as possible.
If it cant be settled, the chill will linger.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont be so self-
involved that you fail to hear the suggestions of those
who have your best interests at heart. If you get too
wrapped up in your own ideas, youll miss out.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It behooves you to be
extremely prudent in the management of your funds.
Be particularly careful about making a personal loan
to anybody, especially a close relative.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If it seems like every-
thing is going against you at this moment in time,
you must keep your cool if youre to have any hope
of making things come out your way. Tolerance is
all-important.

WORLD 31
By Vladimir Isachenkov
MOSCOW Russian police
arrested about 20 protesters on
Wednesday night at a central
Moscow square where demonstra-
tors had moved after police uproot-
ed them from a camp, the latest
move in a broadening crackdown on
the forces opposing President
Vladimir Putin.
The detentions at Kudrinskaya
Square come as the opposition tries
to maintain momentum following a
series of massive protests over the
winter.
Several hundred demonstrators
had gathered at the square outside
one of the citys iconic Stalinist
Gothic skyscrapers after an early
morning police raid on activists
who had set up a camp in a park in
the center of Chistoprudny
Boulevard.
Video from the square streamed by
Ekho Moskvy radios website
Wednesday night showed police forc-
ing demonstrators into buses while
other protesters yelled angrily.
Hundreds of demonstrators remained
on the square after the arrests
Police said about 20 people were
detained. The state news agency
RIA Novosti cited police as saying
the detentions began when police
were investigating food deliveries to
the demonstrators and their attempt
to set up a eld kitchen. News
reports also said prominent opposi-
tion gure Ilya Yashin was among
those detained.
As they try to intimidate Putins
opponents, authorities have put
leading protest organizers behind
bars, threatened others with
reprisals and proposed legislation
introducing a 300-fold increase in
the ne for taking part in unsanc-
tioned rallies.
Some opposition leaders hope
that the tough measures will foment
anger and fuel bigger rallies. But
others fear the repression will blunt
the protest movement by scaring
away many of the mostly middle-
class protesters who turned out in
the tens of thousands for peaceful
demonstrations this winter.
A demonstration of at least
20,000 a day before Putins May 7
inauguration turned into a erce
battle with police as some of the
protest participants tried to march
on the Kremlin. Scores were injured
in clashes between stone- and bot-
tle-throwing demonstrators and
police who fought back with trun-
cheons and tear gas. In the next few
days police chased the opposition
around city, rounding up hundreds
on the streets and in cafes.
Then the crackdown eased, allow-
ing the opposition to stage a camp
on tree-lined Chistoprudny
Boulevard, one of the most iconic
and attractive places in central
Moscow.
