Schools may shed neighborhood boundaries

Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary district considers ways to solve overcrowding
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Rather than shifting boundaries to
solve an overcrowding issue, the
Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District Board is
considering getting rid of them —
an early-morning move Friday that
delayed any decision.
Capacity issues coupled with
increasing enrollment led the dis-
trict to discuss possible solutions
before deciding how to spend voter-
approved bond funds. The situation
requires moving students. The ques-
tion was whether they should be
moved by shifting boundaries,
which changes a family’s home
school assignment, or a lottery sys-
tem. During the board’s meeting
Thursday, Trustee Cathy Wright
threw out another option — no
boundaries. Under such a system,
no one would be assigned a school.
Everyone would register with the
district and be placed as space per-
mits. Although there was clearly
three votes in favor of moving the
boundaries, with board President
Andrew Stulbarg preferring the lot-
tery option, the board opted around
2:40 a.m. Friday to study one last
option before a vote. The board will
discuss the topic again Thursday,
June 16.
The new option will be vetted by
the district and presented at the next
meeting before the board continues
the conversation. By the sound of
the extensive conversation, the
options to be approved later this
month will be either no boundaries
or moving children.
Changing boundaries — which
would shift students at Fox,
Cipriani, Central and Nesbit ele-
mentary schools — was also an

This Sunday marks 71st year for annual San Bruno tradition
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In 71 years, there is one thing the
Posy Parade has never had — rain.
This year, the weekend forecast
calls for rain but Chairman Pete
Carey remains optimistic that the
dry trend will continue.
“We’re praying for sunshine,” he
said.
This annual “Festival of Flowers”
was started in 1941 as a dedication
to children. It was patterned after the
Tournament of Roses Parade in
Pasadena, choosing the “posy” as
the signature flower. The parade, tra-
ditionally for youngsters 14 years
old and under, has achieved both
state and national fame for San
Bruno. And this year, fingers
crossed, the parade will happen as
scheduled Sunday. Since rain has
never been an issue, Carey isn’t sure
how wet weather would affect the
plans.
As tradition, the parade will have
its princess — 7-year-old Eva
Jolivette.
Jolivette and her 10-year-old sister
Sofia both applied.
“I thought, what are the chances of
the girls being chosen?” mother
Veronia Jolivette said when asked
about applying.
The family, who moved to San
Bruno about three and a half years
ago, has attended the parade before.
Eva Jolivette, who is called monkey
by her family, attends Belle Air
Elementary School, where she’ll
enter second grade in the fall. She
plays baseball with the Mud Hens
and loves horses. The family thought
it would be great for Jolivette to ride
a horse in the parade, but there’s a
float for the princess and her court.
Like Carey, the family is hoping for
good weather.
Her whole family, including her 9-
year-old brother Gabriel, is excited
and helping with any preparations
needed.
As princess, Jolivette has a court
made up with 4-year-old Paola
Delgado, 5-year-old Sierra Klingler,
7-year-old Paige Valles and 7-year-
old Payton Agius.

Deal reached over local hire policy
San Francisco,San Mateo counties agree to allow equal hiring
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo and San Francisco counties have
struck a deal over a controversial local-only
hire policy with an agreement allowing public
works contractors to hire an equal number of
workers from the two jurisdictions.
The reciprocity agreement was signed
Friday morning by Carole Groom, president
of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.
“We feel very good about this. Everyone
wanted to get it done,” Groom said. “There’s
no sense in not having a regional approach to
things.”
The sticking point of the policy now
resolved was the language governing the ordi-
nance’s reach, she said.
The memorandum of understanding ends
weeks of negotiations and a push by
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, to
hobble the policy through state legislation.
“San Mateo County construction workers
will no longer be penalized” by the policy,
Hill said in a prepared statement. “I applaud
Mayor Lee and Supervisor Groom for creating
a level playing field that will enable San
Mateo residents to work on construction proj-
ects within their county.”
Although San Mateo County officials

Man who brought gun

A Skyline College student found on campus

balked at the local hire
policy overall, they were
particularly concerned
about a caveat that extend-
ed the employment
requirement to San
Francisco projects up to 70
miles outside county
boundaries like those at
Carole Groom San Francisco
International Airport, the
San Bruno jail and Hetch Hetchy pipeline.
In the next 18 months, San Francisco is
expected to spend $77 million on 20 projects
at SFO alone, according to Hill’s office. The
local hire policy, if left untouched, would have
left San Mateo County workers barred from
such job opportunities, opponents of the poli-
cy argued.
The San Francisco ordinance mandates the
hiring of local labor on city-funded construc-
tion projects in phases, beginning with 20 per-
cent this year and ramping up to 50 percent
within seven years. Current labor agreements
for sites outside San Francisco proper protect
them from the policy but any tweaks or new
contracts will enact the new rules.
In response, Hill proposed legislation
requiring local jurisdictions to pick up the tab
for any cost increase associated with a local
hire ordinance if the project is paid for by the
state. The bill also limited an ordinance’s
marijuana for sale.
Prosecutors sought a five-
month jail term but Walls
received three months
with credit for 20 days.
Walls was arrested

officer at the San Bruno

Opponents of Hill’s bill painted the issue as
one of civil rights and argued it would erect
barriers to non-Caucasians securing construc-
tion jobs.
Hill’s proposal likely helped lead to
Friday’s agreement, Groom said.
“Jerry certainly played a role,” she said. “He
was a big help.”
Hill said he has no qualms about yanking
his bill and leaving other jurisdicitions open to
local-hire policies because San Francisco had
the most restrictive terms in regard to geo-
graphic boundaries.
“To me, the right outcome was negotiated,”
he said.

The officer, who reported seeing Walls smok-
ing a marijuana cigarette, initially refused to a
search of his backpack which later turned up a
loaded 9 mm pistol inside and two bags con-
taining 15 dime bags of marijuana. His cell-
phone reportedly contained text messages
indicating drug sales.
Walls had been in custody on $100,000 bail
but released on his own recognizance after
changing his plea.
He must surrender to the jail on July 23.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
STATE GOVERNMENT
• Assembly Bill 56, the
Natural Gas Pipeline
Safety Reform bill,
authored by
Assemblyman Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo,
passed the Assembly this
week and now heads to the state Senate. The bill
holds utilities and regulators more accountable for
inspections and repairs to California’s aging
pipeline infrastructure. It requires utilities to per-
form hydrostatic pipeline testing for sections of
pipe without adequate records and the California
Public Utilities Commission to consider the safety
performance of public utilities in determining the
rates that they will be allowed to charge customers,
among other changes, according to Hill’s office.
• Assembly Bill 45, another bill authored by
Hill, the Underage Drinking on Party Buses bill,
passed the Assembly this week and is now headed
to the Senate. It closes a loophole in current law
that holds limousine operators, but not charter
party buses, responsible for underage drinking in
their vehicles. The bill is named after teenager
Brett Studebaker, a 19th Assembly District resi-
dent, who died last year after hours of drinking on
a party bus. Assembly Bill 1301, a Hill bill which
cracks down on stores that repeatedly sell tobacco
products to minors by suspending a license after
three violations, also passed the Assembly and
heads to the Senate. Under current law a retailer
has to get caught selling to minors eight times
within a two-year period before their license can
be revoked, according to Hill’s office.
• The California Assembly passed legislation to
provide market certainty for the infrastructure that
is needed to support California’s electric vehicle
consumer fleet Friday. Assembly Bill 631, by
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco,
will place into law a decision by the California
Public Utilities Commission to not regulate elec-
tric vehicle charging stations as utilities.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Making an impact can seem like
an impossible goal for anyone, par-
ticularly for those under 21, but
there are opportunities to be heard
even without casting a ballot.
Late last month, the San Mateo
County Youth Commission show-
cased just that work. Throughout
the year, the group worked to pro-
vide the youth voice on county
commissions while also shining
light on issues affecting youth like
drug and alcohol abuse.
“These are the most amazing
group of young people that I’ve
come across in a long time,” said
Carole Groom, president of the San
Mateo County Board of
Supervisors. “They are so bright;
they are so committed. ... Half of
them are working on these incredi-
ble projects and the other half are
sitting on our boards and commis-
sions making decisions, making
votes. We are so lucky that we have
this Youth Commission.”
The commission, which reports to
the Board of Supervisors, focuses
on issues affecting youth. Made up
of people between the ages of 14 to
21, each year the commission works
on larger issues affecting youth.
Students have a chance to explore
those issues and make an impact in
one of two ways — the policy
track, which includes monthly
meetings to finish a year-long proj-
ect; or the board and commission
track, which allows youth to serve
as an official member of a county
board or commission and complete
an individual year-long project. The
commission is currently accepting
applications
Participation has impacted the
community as well as local youths.
“I think the Youth Commission is
a fantastic opportunity for a youth
who would like to be a more active
participant in the community,” said
17-year-old James Han, a junior at
Burlingame High School. “As a
youth commissioner, you get to
meet new people, make new friends
and voice your concerns to other
youth and to adults. More impor-
tantly, you have a large role in
implementing the change you want
to see.”
Han applied after seeing an ad at
school. He participated in a group
project this year to create a video
about alcohol abuse among
teenagers in San Mateo County,
which consisted of interview
excerpts from local teens recovering
from alcohol abuse.
Farsam Fraz, 17, a Mills High
School senior and commission co-
chair, also worked on the documen-
tary. She had the chance to inter-
view 15 youth going through recov-
ery programs. The video, which was
shown at a recent youth leadership
commission, was eye-opening for
Fraz.
Fraz worked with the commission
for two years. During her junior
year, she worked as an editor on a
student-produced magazine focused
on suicide and depression, which
was a big issue locally in 2010. Fraz
was the magazine’s editor.
Fifteen-year-old Mia Semelman,
a sophomore at Burlingame High,
applied last year. She heard about it
while working at a chat room for
suicide prevention.
Unlike Fraz and Han, Semelman
sat on the Commission of the Status
of Women. Rather than work on the
group project, which she’ll have a
chance to do in the coming year,
Semelman learned about the issues
facing women locally. Human traf-
ficking, for example, was one that
piqued her interest and she hopes to
learn more about. She used the posi-
tion as inspiration for her year-long
project which explored the impact
of certain expletives on women
today. Her work was presented in
April at the county-wide youth con-
ference.
“It really is fun and it’s serious in
the way that you have to do your
work. You can’t slack because you
need to make deadlines,” Semelman
said, adding it gave her an opportu-
nity to meet like-minded teens from
other cities. “I think all this volun-
teer work really is rewarding and
we’ll be able to make an impact.”
Applications are due Monday,
June 6. Applicants must live or
attend school in San Mateo County,
be 14 to 21 years old, willing to
meet twice a month from August
through June along with other train-
ing opportunities, have reliable

City Council hopefuls Criminalist guilty of cocaine possession

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT San Francisco police discovered a small

vying for interim seat

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Eleven San Carlos residents, including two
former mayors, are vying for the six-month
interim seat left empty last month by the unex-
pected death of mayor Omar Ahmad.
The City Council will hold public interviews
with the candidates at Monday night’s meeting.
Once the new person is chosen, the full council
will vote on a new mayor at the June 13 meeting.
The possibilities who submitted applications
by Friday’s deadline include former mayors
Brad Lewis and Don Eaton. The others are man-
agement consultant Jeff Richards, former
Economic Development Advisory commission-
er; Business consultant Ricardo Garcia-Pacheco;
Retired school official Elizabeth Torrez; Realtor
John Sierling; attorney Neha Gohil; Brad
Langford, technology marketer for Cisco;
Deborah Kemper, associate executive director of
the San Mateo Bar Association; former planning
commissioner Alex Phillips and Linda da Silva,
executive director of construction planning for
the San Mateo County Community College
District.
The applicants did not include former mayor
Tom Davids, notable only because his name was
suggested as an immediate appointment and new
mayor by Councilman Matt Grocott at the last
City Council meeting.
Instead, the other councilmembers decided
they wanted a transparent application and inter-
view process before determining who will fill
the vacancy. All agreed the appointee should not
want to run for the next full term in November.
The interim term will run from June to
December.
The applicants will be interviewed in 15-
minute intervals at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 6 in
the library conference rooms followed by dis-
cussion and selection at 8 p.m. in Council
Chambers. The interviews are open to the public
but will not be televised.
The former San Francisco criminalist
whose accusations of stealing drug evidence
caused a scandal at the city’s forensic lab
pleaded no contest to possessing cocaine in
her San Mateo home.
Deborah Jean Madden, 61, was immediate-
ly placed on 18 months of deferred judgment,
meaning her felony conviction will be dis-
missed if she successfully completes court-
ordered drug rehabilitation and abides by the
law.
S.F.gives tax break to private startups
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco is giv-
ing private startup companies in the city a tax
break to keep them from possibly going else-
where.
Mayor Ed Lee signed legislation on Friday
that would reduce taxes on stock options for
companies such as Zynga and Yelp.
Lee also announced that software-provider
Zendesk will be moving from its current loca-
tion in the South of Market area to the Mid-
amount of the drug in her Shoreline Drive
home March 3, 2010 while executing a search
warrant. Nearly a week later, the San
Francisco police chief shut down the San
Francisco crime lab based on allegations
Madden repeatedly stole drugs for her person-
al use.
Hundreds of San Francisco cases were dis-
missed as a result but prosecutors opted not to
charge her.
Madden has been free from custody on a
$10,000 bail bond.
Market neighborhood.
The city is providing a payroll tax exemp-
tion on new workers hired by businesses that
open up or relocate to the blighted area.
Zendesk, which employs 80 people at its cur-
rent location, plans to hire more than 70 new
employees this year.
Supporters of the stock option change say
San Francisco is the only jurisdiction in
California to tax gains on stock options. They
say those taxes could be high enough to push
companies away.

Firefighter
clings to life
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO — A San Francisco firefighter continues to
cling to life Friday after being injured while battling a blaze in the
city’s Diamond Heights neighborhood that killed one of his col-
leagues Thursday.
Anthony Valerio, 53, suffered extensive burns and other injuries
while fighting the fire, which was reported at 10:44 a.m. Thursday
at a four-story home at 133 Berkeley Way.
Lt. Vincent Perez, 48, and a female firefighter were also injured
in the blaze, and Perez succumbed to his injuries later Thursday.
The female firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation and
released.
Valerio remained in critical condition Friday afternoon at San
Francisco General Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Rachael
Kagan said.
Flags around the Bay Area and state are being flown at half-
staff in honor of Perez’s death and Valerio’s serious injuries.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, who came to the hospital
Thursday to pay his respects to the victims’ families, ordered all
flags at city-owned sites be flown at half-staff in honor of the fire-
fighters.
In solidarity with their colleagues in San Francisco, firefighters
in San Jose today also lowered their flags to half-staff at each of
the city’s 33 stations, fire Capt. Scott Kouns said.

Much as he would like to help every

to all the PTA presidents of the public

wanted to donate $500 to a project for which
they needed help and requested that they
send in a write up of the project for which

Report: More businesses

dying than departing
Most of San Mateo County’s
labor losses are due mainly to busi-
nesses dying rather than companies
moving away but of those pulling up
roots, the manufacturing sector
remains the largest, according to a
new study of local labor released
this week.
The analysis, commissioned by
the San Mateo County Economic
Development Association, showed
that officials need to nurture existing
business as well as find ways to lure
new ones, said SAMCEDA CEO
and President Rosanne Foust.
“We need to figure out why are
the companies dying and what
aren’t we doing to make sure they
succeed,” Foust said. “I think
frankly [the study] reminds us we
have to pay attention to what we
already have to make sure they want
to stay and grow and that they
thrive.”
The report, whose executive sum-
mary was released Wednesday at
SAMCEDA’s annual meeting, is a
step in that direction, she said.
Unlike other economic studies,
the labor demand analysis focused
purely on San Mateo County. The
full report will be made public in
July.
Three jailed for selling meth
Three San Carlos residents are in
custody for possessing and selling
methamphetamine out of a home on
Greenwood Avenue, according to the
San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
A 5-year-old child was at the resi-
dence at the time of the arrests and
officers also encountered eight pit
bulls, two of which were deemed
“aggressive,” after serving a search
warrant Wednesday afternoon.
The names of the arrested were not
made public to protect the child’s
identity.
The child was temporarily removed
from the house and placed into the
county’s Drug Endangered Children’s
van that was deployed specifically for
this purpose, according to the
Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation began in March
after police received multiple com-
plaints about suspected drug dealing
at a residence located on the 1500
block of Greenwood Avenue, said
Marc Alcantara, commander of the
San Mateo County Narcotics Task
Force.
Caltrain weathers
murky budget process
Caltrain will keep on running its full
schedule with no station closures next
year as the Peninsula Corridor Joint
Powers Board approved a $103.8 mil-
lion operating budget Thursday, the
highest in the transit agency’s history.
A $30 million deficit, however, was
closed with one-time schemes that do
not solve Caltrain’s long-term struc-
tural deficit.
Staff is already working on a fiscal
year 2012-13 spending plan to avoid
having to declare another fiscal emer-
gency next year as it has the past two
years.
The operating budget was closed by
deferring millions of dollars in main-
tenance to Caltrain’s aging fleet, a fact
that could prove more costly down the
road, said April Chan, director of
budget and grants.
Caltrain is also trying to squeeze up
to $12 million more from its three
member agencies to meet a $64.6 mil-
lion capital program budget for next
year to keep its rolling stock healthy.
“Huge capital investments are need-
ed in the next two to three years,”
Chan told the board yesterday.
Caltrain has been able to keep its
full schedule intact the past couple of
years by swapping funds out of capi-
tal into operations, at the risk of main-
taining its rolling stock, Chan said.
Most of Caltrain’s fleet was pur-
chased in 1985 and is due for major
rehabilitation or even retirement.
GOP criticize Dems’local tax push
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Frustrated by
the difficulty of raising taxes in the
Legislature, California Democrats
want to broaden the ability of cities,
counties and school districts to do it
themselves. But Republican law-
makers on Friday suggested they’re
going about it in a sneaky way.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg said earlier this week that
he would make a local tax hike pro-
posal part of the state budget pack-
age, thinking that would make it
exempt from being challenged in a
statewide ballot referendum.
On Friday, Assembly Republicans
said they had obtained a legal opin-
ion from an attorney for the
Legislature suggesting the public
does have the right to overturn
Steinberg’s local tax plan if it’s
signed into law.

New reward offered in
missing nursing student case
HAYWARD — The family of a
missing nursing student who disap-
peared a week ago has increased the
reward to $40,000 for information
leading to her safe return.
Family and friends of 26-year-old
Michelle Le also scheduled a vigil
for her from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday
on Ponderosa Court. The street is
about a half-mile from Kaiser
Permanente Medical Center, where
Le was last seen on May 27.
In a statement, Le’s family said
they are aware time is not on their
side, but are buoyed by the addition
of FBI missing persons personnel in
the search.
Le disappeared during a break in
class at Kaiser Permanente. Police
say she told colleagues she was
going to get something from her car,
but then never returned.
“His measure flies against the will
of the people and just shows how
hungry Democrats are for taxes
even when voters have shown no
appetite for them,” said Darrel Ng, a
spokesman for Assembly Minority
Leader Connie Conway.
Conway, R-Tulare, had asked the
legislative counsel whether voters
retained the right to vote on budget
“trailer bills” following the passage
last fall of Proposition 25, which
lowered the legislative vote require-
ment to pass a budget from two-
thirds to a simple majority.
If voters did not retain that option,
it would give Democrats, who hold
a majority in both houses, a way to
push through taxes at the local level.
The letter to Conway from the
legislative counsel said Californians
did not give up the right to repeal or
amend trailer bills tied to the budg-
et.
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he
disagreed with the GOP interpreta-
Assembly: No using
welfare cash cards at casinos
SACRAMENTO — California law-
makers want to make it official — wel-
fare recipients cannot use their state-
issued debit cards at casinos, strip clubs
or similar business.
The Assembly on Friday approved
AB493, which prohibits CalWORKS
recipients from using the cards in cash
machines at gambling or adult enter-
tainment businesses. The vote was 50-
8, sending the bill to the Senate.
State rules already prohibit using
cards in such businesses. The bill by
Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno,
would make it law.
Eight Democrats voted against the
bill. Some argued that card rooms offer
the closest ATM for some recipients.
Card use was limited last year after
the Los Angeles Times reported they
were used to withdraw about $12,000
from strip club ATMs in three years.
The state paid $10.8 billion in benefits
during that period.
tion because Proposition 25 is new
and has not been considered by the
courts. If the trailer bills are passed
and go into effect immediately, the
measures would qualify as urgency
statutes, which are exempt from ref-
erendum under the state constitu-
tion, he said.
Steinberg’s plan would allow
cities, counties and school districts
to raise the income tax, vehicle
license fee and use taxes on resi-
dents living within their jurisdiction
through a public vote. The use taxes
could include a variety of goods and
services, such as alcohol, tobacco,
oil, sweetened beverages and med-
ical marijuana.
Currently, local governments can
impose general purpose taxes if
approved by a majority of voters.
Steinberg is pursuing the measure
as Gov. Jerry Brown tries to negoti-
ate an extension of temporary tax
increases with Republicans to close
the state’s remaining deficit.
Bill lets cities control
medical marijuana
SACRAMENTO — The state
Assembly has voted to strengthen the
power of California cities to regulate
medical marijuana.
Democratic state Assemblyman Bob
Blumenfield of Los Angeles says ambi-
guity over who has authority over mar-
ijuana collectives has led to higher
crime and illegal sales.
He introduced AB1300 to let cities
and other local governments make
decisions about locations, crime pre-
vention, licensing, taxation, hours and
other rules related to marijuana distri-
bution. The bill was approved 53-1
Friday and goes to the Senate.
The lone dissenter, Democratic
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San
Francisco, wanted the bill to include the
term “dispensaries.” He thought that
would lend legitimacy to marijuana
storefronts, which have sometimes
been the target of federal raids.

Obama’s views on Israel
— Toronto Sun
W
hile the G8 summiteers in
France were discussing
the Arab spring pro-
democracy uprisings, it was good see-
ing U.S. President Barack Obama get-
ting a dressing down from our prime
minister for his misguided views on
Israel.
The president’s ignorance of both the
history and the fluidity of Middle East
situation when it comes to Israel and
Palestine is quite remarkable.
Shocking, in fact.
Thankfully there was at least one G8
leader — Prime Minister Stephen
Harper — who made a public point of
Letters to the editor
Save the crossing guards
The Daily Journal reeived a copy
of this letter addressed to the
Foster City Council:
Your decision to balance the budget on
the backs of the school crossing guards
ignores the 19 blue elephants standing
inside your chambers. These blue ele-
phants are easy to overlook as they
wear the uniform of civil service. Our
19 highest paid civil servants collec-
tively make over $3.5 million or
$184,000 on average in base salary. If
we include bonuses, overtime and bene-
fits, the total compensation package
exceeds $200,000. I understand that
$200,000 might not seem like much to
an elephant. However, to a crossing
guard who earns less than 1/40th of
$200,000 such a salary may seem as big
as ... well an elephant.
The crossing guard program provides
a valuable safety and morale service for
our community. This week, I watched
as a crossing guard stopped a car en-
gaged in an illegal U-turn so a mother
could push her child in a wheelchair
across the street. Not only did the
crossing guard potentially prevent in-
jury, but his calm and friendly attitude
allowed everyone involved to carry on
without worry. Elimination of the
crossing guard program would have re-
quired multiple people (adults and
children) to make decisions that morn-
ing that would have led to
confrontation and ill will.
The $20,000 savings created through
the elimination of the crossing guard
program is less than one half of 1 per-
cent of the salaries for these 19 civil

thousands of Jews in the suburbs of the
Israeli capital of Jerusalem on the out-

One thing, however, is certain. If
Obama sticks to those naive guns,

Unfair priorities
Editor,
What the heck is going on in the Cali-
fornia Legislature? We are going
through an absolutely devastating finan-
cial crisis right now and all they can
come up with is giving state-funded fi-
nancial aid to illegal immigrant college
students (“Assembly OKs student grants
for immigrants” in the June 2 edition of
the Daily Journal). Where is this money
going to come from? If there is any
money to do this, which there isn’t, it
should go to giving more aid to children
of citizens and those people who have
immigrated here legally. These policies
also act as a magnet in attracting more
illegal immigration into the state.
If you look at most Latino politicians
in Sacramento, the only issues that they
are pushing are their own ethnic priori-
ties. These priorities take resources
from the state and benefit those who are
in this country illegally. Why not put
this issue to the voters? It’s simply not
fair.

Harper was much more diplomatic,
of course, saying Obama’s overview on
Israel was “balanced” when taken in
full context — it wasn’t — but he was
blunt in restating Canada’s unwavering
support for Israel, and dismissed other
leaders, like French President Nicolas
Sarkozy, who believe the terrorist
group, Hamas, could be negotiated out
of Palestine.
This is both idiotic and unrealistic.
Peace in the Middle East depends on
Israel being secure.
If it doesn’t feel secure, Palestine is
not going to happen.
Nor should it.
New food guide icons
Editor,
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
just unveiled a new plate-shaped food
guide icon that encourages Americans
to fill half their plates with fruits and
vegetables. As a dietitian, I know this is
a significant step forward and could
help put a dent in our nation’s chronic
disease epidemics. But unfortunately,
unhealthy federal agricultural subsidies
still stand in the way.
The USDA’s new plate icon and re-
cently released dietary guidelines
advise Americans to limit products like
high-fat meat and cheese. But under the
Farm Bill, now being debated in Con-
gress, the government continues to
subsidize these very products with bil-
lions of tax dollars and gives almost no
support to fruits and vegetables. While
more than 60 percent of agricultural
subsidies in recent history have directly
and indirectly supported meat and dairy
production, less than one percent has
gone to fruit and vegetables.
We’ve known for years that diets high
in fruit, vegetables, and other plant
foods can help prevent obesity, dia-
betes, and heart disease. Just as the
USDA has given the food guide icon a
makeover, Congress must revamp farm
policy to encourage the production and
consumption of these healthful foods.

Pyramid schemes?
“I
n the continuing debate over specific foods, specif-
ic additives, specific methods of processing, each
of us loses our grip on the fundamental issue.
Nourishment is a holistic process, a delicate balance between
every known and unknown component in foods.” — Karen
MacNeil, “The Tao of Food.”
A couple of weeks ago when I started writing this column
I was thinking about how in 2010 the U.S. Department of
Agriculture was supposed to come out with their revised rec-
ommendations for healthy eating as it has done every five
years for a long time. Seems nothing happened until at the
beginning of 2011, those in charge — Tom Vilsack of the
USDA and Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and
Human Services — came out with a lengthy and complicat-
ed “Dietary Guidelines for
Americans.” The familiar
pyramid that has been
used and revised over the
years to try to explain to
us just how we should
divide up the foods we eat
into healthier groups and
not so healthy groups has
been sacked.
I had read the May
“Tufts Health & Nutrition
Letter” that included a
four-page supplement
that explains the belated
guidelines. They are
aimed at adults and chil-
dren 2 years and older
and include 23 key rec-
ommendations for the general population and six addition-
al ones for specific groups such as pregnant women. I
wondered if the people that put out the guidelines really
think that the average American has time to consider and
put into use 23 guidelines (plus six)? I couldn’t help but
wonder how many American consumers, many already
scheduled to the max, would actually count up all of the
milligrams of salt in their diets (even if they could) by
reading and adding up the numbers on ingredient lists on
all prepared and processed foods that they have eaten plus
any salt they may have added to their plate.
I was thinking about how Americans don’t need a long,
drawn-out list of dietary recommendations. We would benefit
most from something simple to guide our food choices. This
made me yearn for the old pyramid even though it had been
considerably altered by 2005 to include a person walking up
the stairs on one side to emphasize the importance of exer-
cise — no doubt at the urging of the food industry which
keeps contending that the obesity epidemic is mainly a result
of too little exercise. No longer simple and concise, it was
still something people could look at and get an idea of a bet-
ter way to eat.
Makes you wonder how much the food industry influenced
the formation of the new guidelines. As Marion Nestle,
author of “Food Politics,” said: “Most of us ... can recognize
how food companies spend money on advertising, but it is
far more difficult to know about the industry’s behind-the-
scenes effects in Congress, federal agencies, universities and
professional organizations to make diets seem like a matter
of personal choice rather than of deliberate manipulations.”
She also said that these latest guidelines steer clear of actual-
ly naming bad-for-you foods, which would be helpful for
today’s busy consumer.” Made me think about the numerical
ratings proposed a few years ago to be used on packaged
foods in the supermarket to help consumers choose products
that contribute to health.
Then I checked Google and found that a new “My Plate”
icon would be “unveiled” on June 2. There it was, intro-
duced by Michelle Obama! There was a plate loosely divid-
ed into fourths, labeled, “fruit,” “vegetable,” “protein,”
“grains.” Up on the right side sits a small circle labeled
“dairy.” That’s it! You want to ask questions like, “Isn’t dairy
protein?” Or, “What kinds of grains?” Marion Nestle was
quotes in the New York Times: “It’s better than the pyramid,
but that’s not saying a lot.”
Anyway, it seems we can’t depend on related govern-
ment agencies to come up with something understandable
and useful for the average person. So I got to thinking
about alternatives. If it were up to me, I’d devise an icon
that would include these recommendations: 1). Avoid high-
ly processed foods; 2). Maximize whole grains, fresh fruit
and vegetables; 3). Avoid sodas and related drinks; 4). Cut
way back on red and processed meats. Then there’s what
Stacy Finz wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle. Her list
boils down to this: “Ditch the empty calories, lower sodi-
um intake, reach for water instead of soda, and for good-
ness’ sake, eat at least a half plate full of fruits and vegeta-
bles a day.” That pretty much covers it. But what Michael
Pollan came up with in his book, “Food Rules,” keeps
ringing in my ears: “If I came from a plant, eat it. If it was
made in a plant, don’t.” Could it be more practical or sim-
pler than that? Pay attention Vilsack and Sebelius!

Losses keep mounting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Evidence is piling up that the economic
1,543.30
recovery has lost some of its vigor. That
has deflated a stock market rally and
pushed indexes down for five straight
weeks, the longest losing streak since
mid-2008.
So, what’s next? Don’t hold out hope
for more help from the government, ana-
lysts say. Another round of stimulus
spending isn’t in the cards, the Fed has
already slashed interest rates near zero
and has said it will end its bond-buying
program on schedule at the end of this
month.
With high gas prices crimping con-
sumer spending and companies still reluc-
tant to hire, investors may have to settle
for a stock market and an economic recov-
ery that plod slowly along.
“The market is clearly getting used to
uneven economic data,” says Jeff
Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL
Financial. “We’ve moved from a recovery
phase to a more modest pace of economic
growth.”
A weak employment report spurred
another stock sell-off Friday, two days
after the Dow Jones industrial average had
its worst drop in nearly a year. The Dow
lost 97.29 points, or 0.8 percent, to close
at 12,151.26.
Bleak jobs report dampens growth hopes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A bleak jobs report
suggests the recovery from the Great
Recession will be longer and bumpier
than many economists had envisioned.
Most economists say job growth should
strengthen later this year as gasoline
prices drop further and the economy
recovers from the effects of natural disas-
ters in the U.S. and abroad. But the recov-
ery is starting to weaken 17 months before
the 2012 election, which could hurt
President Barack Obama’s re-election
prospects.
The unemployment rate in May inched
up to 9.1 percent from 9 percent, the
Labor Department said Friday; when
Obama took office, it was 7.8 percent.
The Conference Board, a business
research group, predicts the rate will be
8.5 percent at the end of next year. That
would mean Obama would face a higher
unemployment rate than any president
running for re-election since World War
II.
“The recovery has not been derailed,
but it’s slow,” said Michelle Meyer, an

12.78, or 1 percent, to 1,300.16. The
Nasdaq composite fell 40.53, or 1.5 per-

cent for the week.
Despite the market’s recent slump, ana-
lysts say there are still plenty of bright
spots in the economy including business
spending and bank lending. The market
could still manage to struggle higher this
year, Kleintop says, but the ride from here
will likely be a long and slow climb.
Picture a jagged valley of dips and steps,
not a straight shot up or down.
Investors will probably have to scale
back their expectations for profits, much
as economists from JPMorgan Chase,
Goldman Sachs and other banks recently
lowered their estimates for economic
growth. Kleintop expects to see corpora-
tions cut their earnings estimates in the
coming weeks. The news is sure to push
their stocks lower. “There will be more
days like (Friday),” Kleintop says.
Stocks had a strong start to the year, hit-
ting their highest levels in nearly three
years in late April. But the market has
been sputtering since then as troubling
signs emerged about the economy.
Investors probably overreacted to strong
corporate earnings at the start of the year,

Lynch. “We’re still in a muddle-through

Only 54,000 jobs were created in May,
the fewest in eight months. By contrast, an
average of 220,000 jobs were created in
each of the previous three months. Private
companies hired only 83,000 workers in
May — the fewest in nearly a year —
while state and local governments cut
30,000 jobs.
The Dow Jones industrial average fin-
ished down 97 points, its third straight
loss. The Dow, Standard & Poor’s 500 and
Nasdaq composite have all declined in
each of the last five weeks, the longest los-
ing streak since mid-2008.
Several chronic problems are weighing
on the economy. Home prices are still
falling. The average worker’s pay isn’t
keeping up with inflation. Cutbacks in
spending by state and local governments
are contributing to slower growth, even in
the private sector. And members of
Congress are preparing to cut spending.

In Washington, State Department
spokesman Mark Toner said the United
States had raised its concerns with China
over the latest allegations. He said the alle-
gations were serious but made no comment
on reports of China’s involvement.

Giants must continue to build from within
By Jeff Devoto
SPECIAL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL
The 2011 Major League draft
begins Monday and the 2010 World
Champion Giants need to continue a
recent trend of acquiring talent and
building a strong farm system.
The Giant’s front office philoso-
phy has shifted from acquiring tal-
ent through free agency to drafting
future major leaguers through the
draft. Since 2006, Brian Sabean and
his staff have been quite successful
in identifying quality players
through the draft and developing
them in their system.
During the “Bond’s era” the
Giants de-emphasized the draft and
focused on signing quality free
agents to complement their super
star. This was a winning formula for
a period of time as they had nine
winning seasons in Bonds first 12
years with San Francisco, including
several post-season visits and a
World Series appearance in 2002.
However, the Giants had losing
records in each of Bonds last three
seasons (2005-2007).
A’s continue skid, drop fourth straight
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Carl Crawford
blooped a go-ahead, two-run single
to center field in the seventh inning
and the Boston Red Sox ended a
four-game losing streak with an 8-6
victory over the Oakland Athletics
on Friday night.
Boston rallied from a 4-0 deficit
in the first and were trailing 6-5
when lefty Brian Fuentes came in to
face lefty Crawford, who came
through with a broken-bat hit just
beyond second base.
Joey Devine (0-1) loaded the
bases in the seventh on a double by
Adrian Gonzalez and then he hit
Kevin Youkilis and walked David
Ortiz.
From 2004 to 2007, the Giants
farm system was typically rated in
the bottom half of the 30 teams in
baseball. Baseball America rated the
Giants 24th in 2004, 17th in 2005,
18th in 2006 and 20th in 2007. A
good example of their focus on
signing free agents versus building
through the draft was in the 2005
MLB draft. This was perhaps the
strongest drafts of the past decade
with players like Justin Upton
(Diamondbacks), Troy Tulowitski
(Rockies), Ryan Zimmerman
(Nationals), Andrew McCutchen
(Pirates), Jay Bruce (Reds) and
Colby Rasmus (Cardinals) all being
drafted. The Giants did not have a
pick until the fourth round, having
given up their first three picks for
signing free agents.
Sabean and company realized that
to have sustained success they
would need to find talent in the
draft, build up their farm system and
develop talent. Beginning in 2006,
the Giants started focusing on the
draft, signing two-time Cy Young
Award winner Tim Lincecum as
their No. 1 pick. Madison
Bumgarner was their first pick in
Bobby Jenks (2-2) got the win
and Jonathan Papelbon pitched a

components of the 2010 champi-

2008 saw the Giants pick up
future Rookie of the Year Buster
Posey. Other notable picks included
shortstop Brandon Crawford in the
fourth round. Baseball America
called this the third-best draft of the
decade and the strongest group of
college hitters since 2005 with picks
like Posey, Ike Davis (Mets),
Gordon Beckham (White Sox),
Justin Smoak (Rangers/Mariners),
and Pedro Alvarez (Pirates) all
being selected in 2008.
In 2009, Baseball America recog-
nized the Giants’ efforts and ranked
them as the fifth-best farm system in
baseball.
The Giants picked up highly tout-
ed right-handed pitcher Zack
Wheeler in the first round and C/1B
Tommy Joseph in the second round
of the 2009 draft. Brandon Belt
(1B/OF) out of the University of
Texas was grabbed in the fifth
round.
Last year, the Giants put more of
the emphasis on offense in choosing
outfielders Gary Brown (OF, Cal
but the Red Sox came back to take a
5-4 lead after the third. Oakland tied
it with a run in the fourth before tak-
ing a 6-5 lead on Daric Barton’s
RBI single in the fifth.
David DeJesus started the first-
inning rally with a single, took sec-

and scored when Hideki Matsui
grounded into a fielder’s choice for
the second out. Then Buchholz have

Kurt Suzuki that sent Matsui to sec-

two-run single by Mark Ellis.

away at the 4-0 lead with two runs

second on his 20th stolen base of
State Fullerton) and Jarrett Parker
(OF, Virginia) with their 24th and
74th picks overall in the first two
rounds.
Baseball America gave the
Giants a grade of “A” for each of
their 2006, 2007, and 2008 drafts.
2009 was a grade of B+ and 2010
was another “A” grade.
Giants fans should be ecstatic
about the future given the nucleus of
homegrown talent that Sabean and
his scouting team, led by Jim Barr,
have assembled since 2006. The
current Giant’s pitching staff is pre-
dominately homegrown and
includes first round picks
(Lincecum, Cain, and Bumgarner)
along with Jonathan Sanchez (27th-
round pick in 2004). Let’s not forget
Brian Wilson, perhaps the best clos-
er in baseball, was a 24th round pick
in 2003 out of LSU.
Other homegrown talent include
Nate Schierholtz (2nd round, 2003),
Emmanuel Burriss (1st round sup-
plemental 2006), and Dan Runzler
(9th round 2007).
Brandon Belt struggled early in
the season but after being sent

lead in the third when Ortiz doubled
in one run and Jed Lowrie singled in

After retiring the next batter,
Outman was replaced by Guillermo

like the player who led the minors in
hitting in 2010. Pablo Sandoval —
another product of their system -—
appears to be back on track this year
after dealing with some personal
issues in 2010 and close to returning
following wrist surgery.
The Giants have the 29th pick in
this year’s draft along with a supple-
mental first rounder (49th overall)
as compensation for losing Juan
Uribe to the Dodgers. They also
have “held onto” their third, fourth
and fifth round picks, keeping in
mind these picks were routinely
sacrificed to pick up free agent in
the past. There are 50 rounds in the
draft so — as you can see from late
round picks like Brian Wilson and
Jonathan Sanchez — there are gems
that can be had in the later rounds as
well.
So there you have it. The Giants
have really turned things around
from the “Bond’s era” to building a
solid farm system. They need to
continue that trend as they enter the
2011 Major League draft next week.
Buchholz kept struggling in the
fifth. Willingham led off with a dou-
ble, moved up on a flyout by Matsui
and scored on a single by Barton
that drove Buchholz from the game.
Notes: The Red Sox transferred
RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka from the

LHP Rich Hill on the 15-day DL.

Youth is key for U.S.women
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOMERSET, N.J. — Too young, or
just young enough.
Either could wind up being the
description — and ultimately, the decid-
ing factor — for the U.S. women.
With 13 World Cup newcomers on the
roster, the team could be considered too
inexperienced. Yet the veterans on the
squad believe those “rookies” will play a
major role in the tournament that begins
later this month.
Among those youngsters are danger-
ous attackers Amy Rodriguez and Alex
Morgan, defender Rachel Buehler and
midfielder Tobin
Heath. Team captain
Christie Rampone,
heading to her fourth
World Cup, and fel-
low veteran Abby
Wambach strongly
believe those kids
can carry the
Americans in
Christie Germany as they
Rampone seek their first world
title since the 1999
team memorably took the trophy at the
Rose Bowl.
“They are asked to play a bigger role
now,” said Rampone, at 35 the oldest
player on the team and 14 years older
than Morgan, the most junior member.
“When I came on to the team, there were
10 women who already were secure and
at their peaks with the team. I learned
from them and got a chance to work into
the system and not be rushed.
I came to the team as a forward, and I
had to adjust very quickly to becoming a
defender, and there was that core of
players like Joy (Fawcett) and Carla
(Overbeck) to help me.
“Now, there are so many players com-
ing in and out and so many of them are
asked to come in and perform without
that experience I was able to get. It’s
’We need you now and here.’ So they
have to try to do this at the highest level
much sooner. I had a chance to work my
way in from a solid base.”
Not that the youngsters don’t have a
similar base. They’ve had the advantage
of playing in a professional league, the
WPS, or on college programs that have
improved through the years. They’re
hardened by the time they reach this
level, and they push the older players for
roster spots and playing time.
Morgan, for example, might be a
starter on most international teams. For
the Americans, she comes off the bench,
“gives us that spark,” Wambach said.
“The best part is we have young play-
ers who will be more involved in this
World Cup than maybe any of them, and
it’s great for their growth,” said
Wambach, the United States’ top scorer
with 118 career goals and rapidly
approaching full strength after a broken
left leg and problems with her right
Achilles’ tendon.
“Someone like Alex Morgan, who is a
supreme goal scorer and will get her
chance to shine. Amy Rodriguez, who’s
a very exciting player and will get her
chance.”
Those chances will begin June 28
against North Korea; the women play
Mexico on Sunday at Red Bull Arena in
their final tuneup, then head to Austria
for more training.

the World Cup semifinals to Brazil, has
shown a willingness to inject fresh blood
throughout the nearly four-year buildup
to this tournament.
She believes all of the younger players
will have a role in Germany, and all are
capable of carrying the Americans to the
championship the Germans have won in
the last two World Cups.
Sundhage also believes they will be
leaders.
“Rachel Buehler (age 25) leads by
example,” Sundhage said. “The first
time I saw her when I became coach, I
thought: ’Just another American player.
Not good enough.’ I was wrong.
“Lauren Cheney (23) reads the game
very well and has improved with the
way she talks the game. That’s leader-
ship. In the future, I could see her as a
captain.
“Amy Rodriguez (24) played in the
2008 Olympics and I think her game is
so much better now. Her movement, the
way she plays off the ball, that’s been
the biggest improvement. She has to
work on finishing, but that is getting bet-
ter, too.”
Morgan, Buehler, Cheney and
Rodriguez all are World Cup novices, as
are goalkeeper Jill Loyden; defenders
Heather Mitts, Becky Sauerbrun, Amy
LePeilbet, and Ali Krieger; and mid-
fielders Kelley O’Hara, Megan Rapinoe,
Lori Lindsey and Heath.
The attitude among the Americans:
The kids are all right.
“Everyone is going for the same thing
and that’s not just getting to the World
Cup,” Morgan said. “It’s getting that
gold medal, and that is true for the vet-
erans and for us who have never been to
a World Cup.

Suspect in Stow case CAL Sports Briefs

will remain in L.A jail
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A parole hearing official
found no immediate evidence Friday linking a
convicted felon to a beating that left a San
Francisco Giants fan in a coma after a game at
Dodger Stadium.
Giovanni Ramirez, who police believe led
the March 31 attack on victim Bryan Stow,
attended a closed, probable cause hearing to
determine if he had violated the terms of his
parole.
It was decided that Ramirez will remain
jailed on an alleged parole violation involving
a gun that is unrelated to the attack.
The ruling came after commissioner Ali
Zarrinnam reviewed the police report in the
beating case and other reports by parole offi-
cers.
“Nothing related to the Stow case whatsoev-
er holds Mr. Ramirez in custody at this point,”
said attorney J. Christopher Smith, who repre-
sents Ramirez. “There wasn’t sufficient evi-
dence to show there was probable cause to
charge him with assault.”
Lawyers for Ramirez said he was not at
Dodger Stadium on the day Stow was attacked.
Ramirez was arrested on May 22.
Police detectives have said repeatedly they
plan on filing a case with the district attorney’s
office, though they have been in no rush to do
so while Ramirez remains in custody on the
parole hold.
The lack of evidence tying Ramirez to the
beating did not signal broader problems in the
case because only a minimal amount of infor-
mation would have been presented, said Luis
Patino, a spokesman for the Department of
Corrections.
Los Angeles police spokesman Richard
French declined to comment Friday on the
case.
The hearing officer did find there was evi-
dence to support allegations that Ramirez was
in possession of a firearm when he was arrest-
ed, Patino said.
Ramirez rejected an offer of a 12-month
return to jail for the violation and instead said
he wanted to go to a full parole revocation
hearing June 20.
Ramirez was arrested following an intensive
investigation into the attack on Stow by two
men outside the stadium.
The 42-year-old paramedic remains in criti-
cal but stable condition under heavy sedation
to prevent seizures caused by traumatic brain
injury.
Police say they’re still looking for a second
attacker and a woman who drove the car car-
rying the men.
Court records show Ramirez has a violent
criminal past that includes the 1999 attempted
robbery of an elderly woman. In 2005, he was
convicted of possession of a firearm by a felon.
A police official has said Ramirez could pos-
sibly be a suspect in a Nevada case.
The official, who has close knowledge of
the probe into the beating of Stow, told The
Associated Press that Henderson police are
looking at Ramirez as a possible suspect in a
January attempted murder outside Las Vegas.

Miller scored on a wild pitch, and Vick made
it 3-0 on Ware’s RBI single.
The Bears got three more in the third as
Johnson walked Miller and Vick with one out.
DalPorto singled off reliever Logan Scott to
make it 4-0, and Ware followed with a safety
squeeze to score Vick and make it 5-0. Cal

seventh. Chadd Krist, Marcus Semien and
Devin Rodriguez hit RBI singles in the
eighth.
“I think a lot of the reason I was able to go
7 1-3 was because the defense behind me was
great,” said Verrett, who gave up three runs on
seven hits with four strikeouts. “I think I owe
a lot of my quick innings to the defense. They
were taking big hacks early and really disci-
plined with two strikes.”

killed after pitch hit chest
PHOENIX — A 13-year-old Arizona boy
was killed in a freak accident after a baseball
hit him over the heart as he tried to bunt, offi-
cials in his Little League said Friday.
Hayden Walton went for the bunt during a
game Tuesday night in the close-knit northern
Arizona city of Winslow, said Jamey Jones, a
Winslow Little League official.
“He took an inside pitch right in the chest,”
Jones said. “After that he took two steps to
first base and collapsed.”
He died the next morning at a local hospital.
The boy’s parents, who were at the game,
are heartbroken, shocked and unable to speak
to members of the media, league president and
family spokesman Dale Thomas said.
“It’s a hard thing to handle for everyone,”
Thomas said. “When you’re touched by some-
thing of this magnitude, it sends shock waves
throughout the community.”
Thomas said he grew up around the boy’s
family and described Hayden as “the epitome
of what every little boy ought to be.” Besides
participating in Little League, Hayden was a
Boy Scout, loved to work on cars and helped
neighborhood widows by mowing their lawns
and doing odd jobs for them, Thomas said.
He said Hayden had a younger sister.
The league suspended games until Friday

parents who need them.

Players urge court to lift lockout Creativity can win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — NFL players urged
a federal appeals court Friday to
declare the lockout illegal, saying
the league had no right to impose a
work stoppage that is now
approaching three months with no
sign of a deal that will save the 2011
season.
In a courtroom packed with some
200 people, including out-of-work
players and retirees on folding
chairs brought in to handle the
crowd, attorneys on both sides of
the bitter labor fight got roughly 30
minutes each to make their cases.
The appeal centers on the lockout
that began hours after months of
labor talks fell apart March 11, the
players’ union dissolved and the
fight ended up in federal court.
The NFL contends the union
decertification was a sham meant to
gain leverage in the talks and the
conflict remains subject to labor
law.
The players argue that antitrust
laws apply and the lockout put in
place under labor law needs to be
put on hold, as it was in April by
U.S. District Judge Susan Richard
Nelson in Minnesota.

The two traded a pair of breaks in
the first set, and Djokovic then led
5-4 in the tiebreaker when three
unforced errors — a backhand and
two forehands — gave Federer the
set.
“The first set was monstrous,”
Federer said, “and in the second set
we were both tired because the pace
was unbelievable.”
In the second, Federer took
Djokovic’s serve to jump ahead 4-1
and held on to win it despite wasting
nine more break chances.
“He went for the shots when he
needed to. He served really well
when he needed to serve well,”
Djokovic said. “What happened,
happened really. I cannot affect it
anymore. In some moments I was
lucky, in some moments he was
lucky.”
“We’re asking for a preliminary
injunction for a short period of
time,” the players’ counsel,
Theodore Olson, said in the hushed
courtroom. “We’re simply asking
that the laws of the U.S. be respect-
ed.”
The arguments came before a
three-judge panel of the 8th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals whose two
earlier 2-1 decisions have sided with
the league and upheld the lockout.
The panel took the arguments under
advisement with one judge, Kermit
Bye, saying only that a ruling would
come in “due course” and he sug-
gested the two sides figure things
out.
“We wouldn’t be all that hurt if
you go out and settle that case,” Bye
said with a smile as he closed the
68-minute hearing. “We will keep
with our business, and if that ends
up with a decision, it’s probably
something both sides aren’t going to
like.”
The league is starting to see the
effects of the lockout, with fur-
loughs and other recent moneysav-
ing steps. Training camps tradition-
ally start in late July and the first
preseason game is little more than
two months away.
Djokovic got the early break in
the third and ran out to a 3-0 lead,
eventually taking the first set off
Federer at this year’s tournament.
He also led in the fourth, and served
for the set at 5-4. But Federer got
his fourth break to soon send it back
to a tiebreaker.
Once there, Federer was the
Federer of old again.
He took a 6-3 lead by winning
three straight points, the latter two
with an ace and service winner. He
then won the match with his 18th
ace of the match in fading light on
center court.
Things won’t get any easier
against Nadal.
Federer is 8-16 against his main
rival, and 2-6 in Grand Slams. He
has already lost to Nadal twice this
year, in the semifinals in Key
Biscayne, Fla., and in Madrid.
Djokovic had not played since
Sunday, when he beat Richard
Gasquet in straight sets in the fourth
round. His quarterfinal opponent,

VANCOUVER, British Columbia —
When Daniel and Henrik Sedin
streak down the ice, exchanging
crisp passes in a display of their
jaw-dropping offensive creativity,
it’s easy to forget the Vancouver
Canucks were the NHL’s best defen-
sive team this season.
When Boston’s top line presses
the attack, changes styles on the fly
and comes up with yet another
clutch postseason goal, it’s tough to
remember the Bruins are nearly as
defensively stingy as the Canucks.
The Stanley Cup finalists are
reminding the entire NHL that elite
defensive teams don’t have to fall
into the trap — or any other defen-
sive scheme that results in boring
hockey. Defense can also be a natu-
ral outgrowth of a commitment to
goal-scoring, Canucks captain
Henrik Sedin said.
“Who says you have to do one or
the other?” he asked.
In Game 2 on Saturday night, the
Canucks will continue their quest to
show it’s possible to win a title with-
best player in the world.
Nadal broke Murray early in each
of the three sets.
And although he lost his serve
once in the first and twice in the
second, Nadal always looked in
charge — even helping the court
crew by frequently cleaning the clay
off his baseline by dragging his foot
along the white paint.
When the big points were played,
it was Nadal who often came out on
top.
He saved 15 of 18 break points
and converted six of the 13 he
earned. After saving the second of
two break points in the second game
of the second set, Nadal let out a
primal “Vamos!” or “Come on!”
“I had a lot of break point oppor-
tunities. Rafa played well on a lot of
them,” Murray said. “He served
well and was able to dictate a lot of
the points with his forehand.”

out retreating into a defensive shell,
while Boston will look to build on a
quietly impressive offensive season
— except for that slumping power
play — for a club without a big-
name scorer.
Both teams proved their
approaches work in the series open-
er. Vancouver’s 1-0 victory was
hardly a boring defensive game,
with 12 power plays, numerous tan-
talizing scoring chances and an
edge-of-the-seat intensity before
Raffi Torres’ winning goal in the
final minute.
“Even when we’re not getting
rewarded, we’re out there taking
chances and trying to find ways to
be aggressive and score,” Boston
forward Milan Lucic said. “We’re
not a team that’s usually going to sit
back and wait and hide. We try to
make things happen.”
Vancouver scored more goals
(3.15 per game) and allowed fewer
(2.2) than any team in the NHL dur-
ing the regular season, while Boston
was fifth in goals and second in
defense, giving up just 2.3 goals per
game.

his eyes. A few games later, while
Murray was serving in the second
set, a spectator’s Panama hat blew
onto the clay court.
A ball boy quickly retrieved the
offending chapeau, and Nadal then
claimed his second break point of
the game when Murray sent a
backhand wide.
Three points later, Nadal broke
for a 6-5 lead with a forehand win-
ner, earning his second of five
straight games.
Since opening the tournament
by falling behind two sets to one

French Open came two years ago
when he was defeated by Robin

he came back in 2010 and won his
fifth title, beating Soderling in the
final.

Stricker a real ace at the Memorial
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBLIN, Ohio — On a course with such a
fine line between birdies and bogeys, Steve
Stricker settled for perfection Friday in the
Memorial with a hole-in-one that put him in
control at Muirfield Village.
Stricker used a 6-iron on the 188-yard
eighth hole — his 17th hole of the second
round — then birdied his final hole for a 5-
under 67. Instead of being part of a five-way
tie for the lead, he wound up three shots clear
going into the weekend.
“It’s a shock when you see that go in, obvi-
ously, but in a good way,” Stricker said. “A
great way to finish the round.”
Stricker said the eighth hole has given him
fits over the year, which is just as well. So has
this tournament. In 11 previous appearances at
the tournament Jack Nicklaus created,
Stricker never has finished in the top 10.
He is hoping to change that, and shots like
his ace certainly help.
Stricker was at 9-under 135, three shots
clear of Rory McIlroy (72), Ricky Barnes
(70), Jonathan Byrd (67) and the resurgent
Rod Pampling of Australia, who lost his PGA
Tour card last year and had a bogey-free 66.
McIlroy already has made 13 birdies over
two rounds, proof enough that he’s swinging
well and making his share of putts. He also
has five bogeys and a sloppy double bogey
Friday on the 14th hole, when he pulled his
tee shot into the tiny stream left of the fairway
and nearly went into the water on his next
shot.
“I felt as if I played good enough to shoot
something in the 60s, but I just made too
many mistakes out there,” McIlroy said.
McIlroy wasn’t alone in the good and bad of
Muirfield Village.
Rickie Fowler, the runner-up at the
Memorial last year, has only 12 pars in 36
holes. He was at 3-under 141, six shots behind
but still very much in the hunt at the halfway
points.
“The conditions are scoreable, but bogeys
can creep up on you quickly,” Fowler said.
“You can make some birdies, but if there’s a
tough pin and you don’t hit the right shot,
you’ll make bogeys. It’s a fine line.”
Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III was a
great illustration of that. He had six birdies
and an eagle and shot 73. Love also hit two
into the water on the par-5 11th to make a
triple bogey, then took a double bogey on the
17th along with four other bogeys.

World Briefs
Syrian protests grow
despite attacks, Internet cut
BEIRUT — A Syrian city that was bombed
into submission three decades ago after a
crushed uprising became a new center for
protest and violence Friday, as activists said
troops opened fire on a crowd of thousands
and killed at least 34. Still, people nationwide
poured into the streets in unprecedented num-
bers, defying the crackdown and a govern-
ment chokehold on the Internet.
One of the largest protests calling for the
ouster of President Bashar Assad was in
Hama, where Assad’s father killed thousands
in 1982 and emerged to rule uncontested, the
carnage seared into national memory.
“It is a real massacre,” said a witness who
took part in Friday’s Hama protests and fled
the gunfire. “People were running, shouting.
We ran up to people’s homes and hid there
until the gunfire died down,” he said.
Mexico seizes 154 rifles
from buried cartel cache
MEXICO CITY — Mexican soldiers found
a buried cache of weapons apparently stock-
piled by a drug cartel, including 154 rifles and
shotguns and more than 92,000 rounds of
ammunition, the Defense Department said
Friday.
The cache included four mortar shells, two
rocket-propelled grenades, dozens of assault
rifles, sniper rifles and two bows.
It was found in an underground chamber at
a ranch near the industrial city of Monclova in
the northern state of Coahuila earlier this
week and included more than 4,600 rifle mag-
azines, army Gen. Edgar Luis Villegas said.
He did not specify what day.
WORLD
Villegas said the weapons apparently
belonged to the Zetas cartel, which has been
fighting the Sinaloa cartel and other drug
gangs for control of the border state.
Vegetable scare hits Europe
BERLIN — Schools have pulled raw veg-
etables from menus, piles of cucumbers sit
untouched on shop shelves, and farmers say
they’re losing millions.
As scientists scramble to find the source of
an E. coli outbreak linked to raw vegetables
that has killed 18 in Europe and sickened
nearly 2,000, consumers are swearing off let-
tuce, cucumbers and tomatoes just in case.
“Cook it or don’t eat it,” Hamburg kidney
specialist Rolf Stahl told reporters at a press
conference about the epidemic on Friday.
“That’s my personal recommendation.”
Suicide bombers in Iraq
hit mosque, then hospital
BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber attacked a
mosque filled with Iraqi politicians and
policemen Friday and another blew himself up
inside the hospital where the wounded were
taken, killing a total of 21 people in Saddam
Hussein’s hometown.
The twin attacks — as well as the fact that
the bombers were able to infiltrate areas that
were supposed to be secure — left people in
Tikrit feeling under siege.
It was the third major attack in Tikrit this
year, reflecting the difficulties Iraqi security
forces face in protecting their own people
from Sunni insurgents still intent on under-
mining the country’s post-Saddam leaders,
many of whom are Shiite. Such violence is all
the more troubling because of the approaching
year-end deadline for American forces to
leave.
Yemen president
survives attack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANAA, Yemen — President Ali Abdullah
Saleh was wounded when rebellious tribes-
men struck his palace with rockets Friday, tar-
geting him for the first time in a dramatic esca-
lation of fighting that has turned parts of the
capital into a battleground
and pushed Yemen toward
civil war.
One of the rockets
smashed into a mosque on
the palace grounds where
the president was praying
along with his top leader-
ship. It was a stunning hit
on the regime’s most sen-
Ali Abdullah ior figures: Among the
Saleh nine wounded were the
prime minister, Saleh’s
powerful top security adviser and the two
heads of parliament, as well as the cleric lead-
ing prayers. Seven guards were killed.
Officials said Saleh had only slight injuries
— Deputy Information Minister Abdu al-
Janadi spoke only of “scratches to his face.”
But there were indications the injuries may
have been more severe. Saleh, in his late 60s,
was taken to a Defense Ministry hospital,
while officials promised repeatedly that he
would soon appear in public. But by late
Friday, state TV had aired only an audio mes-
sage from the president, with an old still
photo.
“If you are well, I am well,” Saleh said in
the brief message, addressing Yemenis. He
spoke in a labored voice, his breathing at times
heavy. He blamed the rocket attack on “this
armed gang of outlaws,” referring to the tribal
Weekend • June 4-5, 2011 17
fighters, and called on “all sons of the military
around the country to confront” them.
The bold assault directly on the president is
likely to heighten what has been an increas-
ingly brutal fight between Saleh’s forces and
the heavily armed tribesmen loyal to Sheik
Sadeq al-Ahmar. Since violence erupted May
23, Sanaa residents have been hiding in base-
ments as the two sides fight over control of
government ministries and duke it out with
artillery and gunbattles, shaking neighbor-
hoods and sending palls of smoke over the
city.
The bloodshed comes as nearly four months
of protests and international diplomacy have
failed to oust Yemen’s leader of 33 years.
After the rocket attack, government forces
intensified shelling on Sanaa’s Hassaba dis-
trict, the epicenter of the fighting where al-
Ahmar’s residential compound is located.
Many of the compound’s buildings and sur-
rounding houses have already been heavily
damaged by days of bombardment.
The White House called on all sides to stop
the fighting, which has killed more than 160
people.
“Violence cannot resolve the issues that
confront Yemen, and today’s events cannot be
a justification for a new round of fighting,”
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said
in a statement.
President Barack Obama’s Homeland
Security and Counterterrorism adviser, John
Brennan, discussed the crisis in Yemen with
officials in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates during a three-day visit to the Gulf
that ended Friday, vowing to work with
Yemen’s powerful neighbors to stop the vio-
lence.

Great Expectations
By Philip Dimaano

W
hile it is also the title of a famous
novel by Charles Dickens, the idea
of having great expectations is
unique in its distinction as a double-edged sword.
The limitless capacity of human imagina-
tion makes this practice a
frequent occurrence in
many people’s lives.
Perhaps the sequel to a
movie is now in theaters
and everyone expects it to
surpass the critically
acclaimed original. Your
upcoming birthday means
the subtle hints you have
been giving your parents guarantees you will
receive all the gifts you had on your list.
Such incidences can come in many different
forms, but all too often your great expectations
are met with a harsh reality check. How much
disappointment is experienced varies greatly
depending on the discrepancy between the set
standards and what actually occurred.
How individuals respond to such a feeling is
a significant indication of their character.

here is good news and there is bad
news. First, the bad news: the long-
awaited arrival of British R&B sensa-
tion Adele will remain just that — a wait.
Adele announced Friday that she hasn’t quite
gotten over her bout with laryngitis, which forced
her to postpone five shows in her North American
tour. The singer had no choice but to cancel the
remainder of her tour — nine dates, which
included Saturday’s show at the Greek Theater in
Berkeley.
“I'm really frustrated,” Adele said in a state-
ment through her publicist. “I was hoping with a
week’s rest I’d be better to sing again straight
away. However, there is absolutely nothing I can
do but take the doctor’s advice and rest some
more. I’m so sorry.”
Plans to reschedule the 14 canceled dates, or
information about ticket reimbursement, weren’t
immediately released.
Luckily for music fans in the Bay Area, Adele

Disney defends use of 3-D
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RANCHO PALOS VERDES —
Disney CEO Bob Iger defended the
company’s production of 3-D films
Thursday after 3-D ticket sales for sev-
eral recent movies lagged their prede-
cessors.
It’s “way too early to write 3-D’s
epitaph,” Iger said at the D: All Things
Digital conference. “I think a lot of
conclusions are being reached about a
business that’s still relatively new.”
Industry experts point out that The
Walt Disney Co.’s fourth “Pirates of
the Caribbean” movie and the second
installment of “Kung Fu Panda,” from
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.,
generated around 40 percent of their
revenue from 3-D screenings, com-
pared with about 60 percent from ear-
lier films such as “Shrek Forever
After” and “How to Train Your
Dragon.”
Some analysts trimmed estimates on
DreamWorks and 3-D technology
company RealD Inc. as a result. Shares
of RealD are down about 14 percent
since the weekend, DreamWorks
shares are down 7 percent and Disney
shares are off about 3 percent.
Higher ticket prices and a sense
among consumers that 3-D is a gim-
mick are hurting attendance domesti-
cally, an effect that may carry over
overseas, where 3-D is still booming.
“We suspect 3-D demand will slow
over the coming year overseas as the
‘novelty’ begins to wear off,’ BTIG
analyst Richard Greenfield wrote in a
research note Tuesday.
Iger said that 3-D technology must
be used in the right way or studios risk
annoying moviegoers who are asked to
pay a few dollars more for tickets.
“(If) people go to a film on the first
weekend and pay the premium that
they pay for 3-D and come out either
not liking film or thinking it wasn’t
worth it in 3-D — you can’t hide that
any more. Everybody knows it,” he
said. “So I think it has to be used care-
fully. When it’s used it has to be used
on the right film and in the right way
technologically and creatively. You
can’t just ‘If you build it they will
come.’You can’t do that.”

inspired the lives of countless individuals who all knew they
should be destined for something greater than a life filled with
oppression and tyranny.
Many recent high school graduates such as myself have a
fair number of great expectations for the future. We foresee
new experiences, friendships and perspectives as we move on
toward a new chapter in our lives while making sure not to
forget where it all began.
My plan is to take the events as they come whether they are
stupendous or less than satisfactory, always keeping in mind
that everything happens for a reason. There will always be
negatives to go along with the positives and it is important to
remember that there is a silver lining in those negatives, no
matter how bad things may seem at the time. There is a chance
that my plans could change completely from what they are
now.
Even then, I’ll keep in mind that sometimes the best gifts
are the most unexpected.

Agriculture tours showcase Hopi culture
By Felicia Fonseca
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BACAVI, Ariz. — The small plots
below the curve of a steep gravel
road seem an unlikely place to grow
crops, as does the sandy slope near
a busy freeway and the cliff side of
a tribal village.
Hopis know that these places
aren’t the most accessible, but it’s
here where the staples of traditional
food — corn, squash and beans —
flourish with what little water reach-
es the usually dry land.
It’s a farming technique that has
been practiced for centuries as part
of a belief that a prosperous life
comes through hard work.
Micah Loma’omvaya shares
those stories on a tour he leads to
the Hopi mesas that rise above the
northern Arizona desert, giving vis-
itors a glimpse of Hopi tradition and
culture that’s rooted in agriculture.
The tours have fed the desire of
visitors to learn about one of the
oldest indigenous tribes in America,
but the tours also serve an econom-
ic purpose in a place where business
opportunities are scarce.
Travel Brief
Bin Laden’s death boosts
Navy SEAL museum
FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The biggest
attraction at the Navy SEALs’ national
museum isn’t memorialized in any arti-
fact or mentioned in any display. But
that doesn’t keep visitors from asking.
The May 2 killing of Osama bin
Laden at the hands of SEALs has
Cliff Quotsaquahu, a research
assistant in the tribe’s Office of
Community Planning and
Economic Development, said there
are a lot of discussions on the Hopi
reservation about “ideas of how we
can capitalize on the things we have,
and tourism is one of them.”
Standing amid shrubs called salt-
bushes that Hopis use in stews,
Loma’omvaya points to a coal seam
running through a rugged canyon in
the distance. The tribal government
is largely dependent on coal rev-
enues that make up the majority of
its non-federal budget.
Half of the work force is unem-
ployed. About 20 percent of tribal
members who make a living off sell-
ing arts and crafts from their homes
or roadside stands don’t figure into
that statistic, Quotsaquahu said.
The lack of infrastructure on the
1.6 million-acre reservation that’s
landlocked by the much-larger
Navajo Nation means industrial
development is nonexistent. An
industrial park that the tribe owns
off the reservation once churned out
underwear and baseball caps but
now is vacant. Tribal members have
twice rejected gaming.
brought a spike in visitors to the
National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum,
seeking a behind-the-scenes glimpse of
how the mission was pulled off.
Attendance has roughly tripled since
the raid, visitors are pummeling
docents with questions and people
wanting to express their gratitude have
flooded the museum with letters of
thanks.
Visitors hankering for an in-depth
look at the raid likely won’t get what
they’re looking for — not yet at least.
TRAVEL
“Limited access to any economic
development centers is an under-
statement,” tribal chairman Le Roy
Shingoitewa recently told members
of Congress.
Curiosity in the history of the
Hopis, who have lived in the region
for 2,000 years, gives tribal mem-
bers like Loma’omvaya an avenue
for income.
Tourists see hundreds of petro-
glyphs, are greeted by farmers at
terraced gardens and corn fields and
hear about the preservation of
ancient seeds crops.
Loma’omvaya, an anthropologist,
carries around historic photos with
plowing equipment sitting outside
stone homes, fruit trees dotting the
reservation and high water levels in
springs.
He ferries tourists across the
reservation in his pickup truck,
playing Native music and pointing
out geographical features. These
tours have been ongoing since 1540,
he says half-jokingly. That’s the
year Hopis directed Spanish con-
quistadors and their guides to the
Grand Canyon.
The Hopi admittedly want to keep
But the museum’s history of the
SEALs and their predecessors gives a
glimpse into their secretive world, and
the type of men called to conduct such
a mission.
The museum is built at the birthplace
of the SEALs. From 1943 to 1946, Fort
Pierce was home to a makeshift train-
ing encampment for Naval Combat
Demolition Teams and Underwater
Demolition Teams, the forerunners to
the SEALs. The 26-year-old museum
chronicles that history from the start.
tourism operations small-scale.
“There hasn’t been this much
accessibility to the Hopi culture in a
long time,” said James Surveyor, the
marketing and sales associate at the
Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites on
the reservation. “As that keeps
going, we’re going to get more peo-
ple into Hopi. We don’t look at a
future where we want charter bus
after charter bus like the Grand
Canyon.”
Nearby tribes also have seen the
benefits of tourism. The Hualapai in
northwestern Arizona just celebrat-
ed 23 years in the industry with des-
tinations that now include the Grand
Canyon Skywalk. The Navajo
Nation draws tourists with Canyon
de Chelly National Monument,
Monument Valley and other tribal
parks.
Across the Hopi reservation,
newly plowed fields with corn
planted deep down await moisture.
Part of Hopi belief is that they are
stewards of the land. A higher being
handed down a bag of seeds, a water
gourd and a planting stick along
with a promise of a hard and endur-

Ceremonies, songs and cultural
activities are tied directly to agricul-

feathers hang from stones that sup-

commonly features rain clouds.
“That’s the simplest of pleasures

ment signed by the head of the Imperial

For now, the museum is heavy on the
decades-past story of the SEALs, in
places like the World War II battles of
Normandy, Okinawa and Iwo Jima.
But the stories of the men of those ear-
lier years of the squad are perhaps most
inspiring because they had so little his-

side.

school funding. In the fall, he’ll explore
the world of film further while studying
at Vassar University in New York.
In her recommendation of Hofmayer,
counselor Liana Harp wrote, “Ethan is
an intellectual, an artist, a leader and an
active participant in his community. This
year, Ethan is our school board repre-
sentative and he was sophomore and
junior class president, and freshman stu-
dent council representative.
Additionally, in response to menacing
budget cuts last year, Ethan mobilized
students to speak in front of the school
board against the cuts and worked exten-
sively in support of measure E (a local
tax to raise money for our district); he
even used his awesome video production
skills to create a short film explaining
the cuts.”
Hofmayer, a lifelong coastsider, began
playing piano at 6 years old. He stuck
with it while attending Farallone
Elementary and Cunha Middle schools,
but took a break until joining a band
while at Half Moon Bay High.
He got his first taste of politics in mid-
dle school as a student representative. In
high school, Hofmayer began to take on
ever-growing roles in student leadership
starting as a representative freshman
year then becoming class co-president
sophomore and junior years. During
Hofmayer’s junior year, the Cabrillo
Unified School District faced massive
cuts which spurred a successful parcel
tax effort. The threat of cuts led
Hofmayer to attend school board meet-
ings to learn more. He joined the effort
to support Measure E, which created a

option Trustee Brian Matthews saw as a
way to preserve neighborhood schools
since it moved entire neighborhoods
rather than individual children. In addi-
tion, he saw it as limiting the growth at
Fox while creating boundaries with
more reasonable numbers of children
assigned to Cipriani, Central and Nesbit.
“Going with the idea of preserving
neighborhood schools, schools where
kids going to that school are coming
from the same neighborhood, this could
do that,” Matthews said.
Stulbarg didn’t see it as a solution.
Shifting students may minimize the
number of students over the enrollment
cap but would still require a lottery or
similar system to decide who gets the
slots, he said. If there’s going to be a lot-
tery anyway, he questioned the need for
a more permanent approach.
“I can’t get over the one fact for me,
which is the boundary change by itself,
is not going to solve anything,” said
Stulbarg.

the terms of its board members early and
changed the way they are selected.
The tinkering by lawmakers comes
amid rising criticism of the project,
which under the terms of federal grants
is supposed to start construction in the
$150 annual parcel tax for five years, by
making a seven-minute documentary on
the cuts.
The policy side of leadership intrigued
Hofmayer, who this year served as the
student representative on the board. The
non-voting position does allow
Hofmayer to voice his concerns and
thoughts on items before the board.
Film has played a role throughout his
years in school. Family films made with
friends grew into more as he grew older.
The last two summers, Hofmayer
attended an arts camp in New York. A
three-minute work produced as a result
of his first visit — an anti-war piece
entitled “In an Instant,” which is avail-
able on YouTube — ended up winning
the best of festival award during the
Green Mountain Film Festival.
Music came back into Hofmayer’s life
sophomore year after a short hiatus
when friends with a rock band asked
him to play keyboard. Vent, as the band
is called, has been jamming out and per-
forming since. Hofmayer also explores
music on stage. He performed in the
school musicals all four years.
Hofmayer has taken advantage of
travel opportunities over the year as
well. The summer after freshman year,
for example, he traveled to France with
classmates. Over the Thanksgiving
break, Hofmayer went to Mexico with
the Interact Club — a community serv-
ice group linked to Rotary — to assem-
ble and hand out wheelchairs. And this
summer, Hofmayer will travel to Costa
Rica with students and his calculus
teacher.
In the fall, Hofmayer will focus on his
love of film at Vassar — which offered
him the perfect mix of urban appeal and
liberal arts opportunities. For Hofmayer,
it’s the first step toward his ultimate goal
of earning an Academy Award.
Numbers will fluctuate, but Trustee
Robert Tashjian noted Nesbit’s bound-
ary is currently too small and Cipriani’s
is too large. Creating boundaries that
better fit those schools will create fewer
problems going forward, he argued.
With grandfathering, only a handful of
children are affected in the first few
years, Stulbarg said. He questioned why
not use the lottery system instead and
focus on studying an enrollment solution
such as placing a magnet program at one
of the larger campuses to draw children.
Wright said the district has relied on
short-term fixes for years, which is how
the conversation got to this point. She
was open to a lottery still but voiced
concerns that, without a larger boundary
area, Nesbit would not have enough new
students.
Numerous options have been consid-
ered to deal with the capacity issues.
A boundary committee suggested
shifting school assignments of many
neighborhoods west. For example, some
students currently assigned to Cipriani
would go to Central and those at Central
would move to Nesbit. Some students at
Cipriani could also be moved to Fox. All
recommended proposals allowed stu-
dents currently enrolled to stay at the
Children just need to be there 30 minutes
prior to the parade.
There will also be the annual Posy
Parade baseball games at Tom Lara Field
and marching bands from local schools
will be playing at the end of the parade
route, said Carey. A free hot dog lunch
will be provided by the San Bruno Lions
for all parade participants. Hot dogs will
also be for sale.
The parade begins at Posy Park on San
Central Valley near Fresno by
September 2012.
An outside oversight committee and
the state’s legislative analyst have ques-
tioned the costs and operations of the
existing rail authority. The analyst’s
office said the project should be halted if
it can’t get federal waivers to delay con-

school they attend, a process called
grandfathering. Such a change could go
into effect this fall. With grandfathering,
most students would not be reassigned
until 2012.
Implementing a priority enrollment
program in the short term while using a
lottery was one alternative. Schools with
overflow issues would be partnered with
a sister school, where children not cho-
sen in the lottery would then attend.
Community members spoke in favor
of both options. Some felt boundaries
were a permanent solution that, without
grandfathering, was the right solution. A
larger number of speakers favored the
flexibility of the lottery proposal which
could be utilized during the peak enroll-
ment years without negatively impacting
home values.

Obama positive despite bad news President rebuked
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Saddled with a
slowdown in hiring, President Barack
Obama is drawing attention to the
auto industry’s rebound, visiting a
Chrysler plant in politically important
Ohio as he seeks to highlight a rare
bright spot in the sluggish economic
recovery.
Obama was traveling to Toledo on
Friday, making the latest in a string of
domestic trips to promote his eco-
nomic agenda and defend the much
maligned government bailouts to
Chrysler and General Motors. The
president planned to speak to plant
workers and local business owners
about the significance of the indus-
try’s turnaround.
The trip comes on the same day that
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced a significant drop in hiring
for May — only 54,000 new jobs —
and an uptick in unemployment to 9.1
percent. As the Republican presiden-
tial field begins to take shape, the
White House is keenly aware that
Obama’s handling of the economy
generates some of his highest public
disapproval ratings.
“We have said from the beginning
that the road out of the dark place we
were in when this president took
office in terms of the economic reces-
sion, the depths of the recession we

were in, was not going to be smooth
every step of the way,” White House
spokesman Jay Carney said.
Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the
Council of Economic Advisers, said
in a statement, “There are always
bumps on the road to recovery, but the
overall trajectory of the economy has
improved dramatically over the past
two years.”
The Bush and Obama administra-
tions spent $80 billion to bail out

General Motors and Chrysler and help
guide them through bankruptcy. The
Obama administration says it will
recoup more than 80 percent of that
and Obama intends to defend the
bailouts as money well spent.
A report by the president’s National
Economic Council this week said the
taxpayers’ loss from the bailout will
be about $14 billion. The Treasury
Department initially had expected
losses closer to 60 percent.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House
has adopted a resolution rebuking
President Barack Obama for dis-
patching U.S. military forces
against Libya without congressional
approval.
The vote was 268-145. The White
House objected, saying the measure
was “unnecessary and unhelpful.”
The measure by Speaker John
Boehner says the president has
Romney on the attack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Casting
President Barack Obama as a failure
who has tanked the United States’
economy, Republican White House
hopeful Mitt Romney seized on
Friday’s jobs report as he pitched him-
self as an alternative with the experi-
ence to turn around the struggling econ-
omy.
“Three years into his term, we have
more news that unemployment has
ticked up again,” Romney said at a
town hall-style meeting, a day after he
formally joined the GOP presidential
contest.
Employers hired 54,000 new work-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
failed to provide a “compelling
rationale” for the nearly 3-month
old operation to aid rebels battling
Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
Democrats and Republicans com-
plained that Obama ignored
Congress’ constitutional authority to
declare war.
The nonbinding measure insists
that Obama provide Congress with
details on the scope of the mission
and its costs within 14 days. It also
bars U.S. ground forces except to
rescue an American service mem-

ers in May, the
fewest in eight
months, and the
unemployment
rate rose to 9.1
percent. The
L a b o r
Department report
offered startling
Mitt Romney evidence that the
U.S. economy is
slowing, hampered by high gas prices
and natural disasters in Japan that have
hurt U.S. manufacturers.
Romney’s expected rivals also used
the jobs numbers to make the case of
why they should replace Obama in
early 2013.
