Big boost for early education
Legislators reject cuts to transitional kindergarten program, onus now on Browns budget
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
State officials from both Assembly and
Senate subcommittees have rejected Gov. Jerry
Browns proposal to elimi-
nate a program to offer
transitional kindergarten
to children who turn 5 late
this year.
Under the Kindergarten
Readiness Act of 2010,
authored by state Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto, stu-
dents must be 5 years old
to start kindergarten.
Starting this year, the
deadline to turn 5 will
slowly be moved up from
Dec. 1 to Sept. 1. An addi-
tional year of transitional
kindergarten, called TK,
was supposed to be offered
for children with birthdays
after the new deadlines
the new program called for
state funding. That fund-
ing is in limbo as Browns budget proposal
calls to cut $223.7 million which would result
in the elimination of transitional kindergarten.
In March, the Assembly Budget
Subcommittee on Education Finance rejected
the plan. On Thursday, the California State
Senate Budget and Fiscal Review
Subcommittee on Education followed by also
rejecting the proposal. Now, legislators will
wait until the May revise to see if the votes
supporting the program are enough to elimi-
nate it from the budget cut conversation.
Its important to underscore with transition-
al kindergarten, were not talking about serv-
ing any new children. Were talking about
serving the same group of children who for the
last 60 years have been eligible to start school

Children play at Family Connections in
Redwood City Thursday morning.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite recent rain, youngsters were eager
to head outside and play Thursday morning at
Family Connections in Redwood City.
At rst, they took to various tricycles and
child-size cars, then made their way to a gar-
den. Parents and teachers questioned if the
ground was too wet for the little ones to head
into the garden but ultimately a few went out.
Everyone enjoyed the unexpected sunshine
while playing together. It was a lovely scene
full of laughter but also part of a larger effort
to support children up to age 5.
Throughout California, early education pro-
grams have been on the chopping blocks
despite the continuous release of studies sup-
porting the benets of an early investment.
Family Connections which serves low-
income families in Redwood City, Menlo Park
and East Palo Alto with tuition-free coopera-
tive preschool programs is a nonprot cre-
ated in the 1990s. So while its not ofcially
on the chopping block, cuts to other programs
which partner with the organization will
impact it.
For example, salaries for teachers at the
Redwood City location were previously cov-
ered through the Sequoia Adult School. The
organizations work together since Family
Preschool meets family needs
Program proves successful, but financing a constant challenge

Owner claims diamond
ring found in Idaho sewer
BOISE, Idaho A Boise woman
says she believes in miracles after sewer
workers found the $6,000 diamond wed-
ding ring she accidentally ushed down
the toilet 18 months ago.
Mechelle Rieger claimed the seven-
diamond ring Thursday morning at City
Hall in Kuna, bringing with her a photo
and the March 2001 appraisal from the
jeweler that made it.
Rieger thanked city workers Travis
Fleming and Carey Knight, who spotted
the ring along with loose coins in a l-
tration basket while doing routine main-
tenance last week.
Rieger said she freaked out and just
started screaming when the ring acci-
dentally fell in the toilet. She says there
was more screaming involved when she
got a voice message from a friend relay-
ing the news about a ring being found in
the sewer in her old neighborhood.
L.A. shelter hopes cats
iPad art draws in donations
LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles
animal shelter that lets its cats chase toys
on top of iPads hope the digital art cre-
ated by the movement will encourage
donations of money and tablet comput-
ers.
An Animal Planet crew visited the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Los Angeles for the April 14
episode of Must Love Cats, where
they documented how four cats used an
app called Paint for Cats.
The results were so compelling that
the shelter turned them into notecards.
The cards with drawings named Study
in Feather Toys and Movement in
Catnip are being sold online for $5.99 a
pack.
Shelter president Madeline Bernstein
says the cats had so much fun, they put
used iPads on their wish list so other cats
can paint, too.
Judge orders man
to jail for sagging pants
PRATTVILLE, Ala. A central
Alabama judge ordered a man to serve
three days in jail for contempt of court
for wearing so-called saggy pants.
Twenty-year-old LaMarcus D.
Ramsey was in Autauga County Circuit
Court on Tuesday to enter a plea on a
charge of receiving stolen property.
Circuit Judge John Bush told Ramsey
his blue jeans were sagging too low and
gave him the three-day stint. The judge
told Ramsey to buy pants that t or a belt
when he gets out of the county jail.
The judge says he nds it disrespect-
ful and a disruption when people wear
pants below their waistline in his cham-
bers.
To me its not any different than if
someone stood up in court and started
cussing everybody out, Bush said. Its
disrespectful conduct and I think as
judges were expected to at least have
some degree of control and respect for
the courtroom the people have given us
charge of.
Calls to Ramseys public defender
were not immediately returned.
Cow escapes
slaughterhouse, will be spared
PATERSON, N.J. A cow that
escaped from a New Jersey slaughter-
house will be spared.
The black-and-white bovine was run-
ning through the streets of Paterson
sometime after 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Animal control ofcer John De Cando
tells The Record newspaper it was like
Dodge City with police cars trying to
corral the 750-pound animal. But the
cow managed to break loose.
De Cando tranquilized the cow after it
became trapped between a re hydrant
and a truck.
De Cando says the slaughterhouse
owner has promised to take the animal to
a farm.
No one was injured.

A
nyone else feel like saying,
Really? Now you show up? at
this weeks rain? I know I should
be grateful because all of us, ora and fauna
alike, need the rain, but I am really itching to
play in the dirt.
Whats a gardener to do when its rainy?
Well, even if the weather is frightful, the
seedling selection is delightful at this week-
ends 2012 Tomato and Pepper Plant Sale
sponsored by Master Gardeners of San
Mateo and San Francisco counties. The event
is 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, April 14 at the San
Mateo Elks Lodge in San Mateo.
All 35 varieties of tomatoes for sale are
known to do well in San Mateo and San
Francisco counties, including varieties that
shrug off cool and foggy conditions. A cou-
ple of varieties grow well in containers,
including Early Wonder. The pepper
seedlings range from sweet to hot, and all
adapt to local conditions.
After you bring your seedlings home, dont
plant them right away. The ground and night
temperatures are too chilly this time of year.
Wait until mid-May. Until then, keep the
seedlings outside in a spot that is sunny,
warm and protected.
Get started with seeds
If you simply have to get started growing
something, while your tomatoes and peppers
wait until its warm enough, you can start on
your vegetable garden by planting seeds for
carrots, beans, corn, radishes and squash. You
also can plant seeds for ornamentals that
bloom in the summer and fall, such as cos-
mos, nasturtiums, sunowers and zinnias.
Banish weeds, snails and slugs
Two other important tasks to do right now
are to continue weeding, and have snails and
slugs meet their maker.
Weeds are a lot easier to pull now, while
the soil is damp. Yank them out before they
set seed. As for snails and slugs, you can
purchase bait to place in your garden, make a
beer bait, or handpick them.
If you have pets that hang out in your gar-
den, the safest methods for eliminating slugs
and snails are to handpick the varmints, use a
beer bait or use bait pellets made of iron phos-
phate, such as the brand Sluggo. Baits con-
taining metaldehyde, the most common baits
on the market, are very toxic to mammals.
The pellet forms of these are particularly
attractive to pets because they look like kibble
and often have ingredients such as molasses or
bran that attract snails and slugs and your
pets. An animal doesnt have to consume very
much metaldehyde to be poisoned.
Baiting with beer is easy. No, you dont
just open a bottle and leave it in the garden.
You bury a shallow container, such as the tin
can that your cats food comes in, so that the
opening is level with the ground, and then
you ll it with beer -- very cheap beer, I sug-
gest. Snails like the yeast in beer, and will
crawl in looking for a good time, not know-
ing its going to end really badly because
they cant swim. You, on the other hand, can
open the better stuff in your refrigerator and
toast their demise.
As for handpicking snails and slugs ... Oh,
yes, its gross, but its possible to feel a per-
verse pleasure while doing it. So Ive heard.
Not that I have personal experience with it.
Snails are easy to pluck and toss into a bag
or pail of soapy water. Slugs are best grasped
by a hand wearing a rubber glove. Hunt
snails and slugs in the early morning, or at
night using a ashlight (If your neighbors
dont already suspect you are a crazy garden-
er, this nocturnal exercise will conrm their
hunches).
Next month, the real fun begins.

Homeowner interrupts
attempted burglary
Burlingame police are on the
lookout for two people who
attempted to break into a home on
the 3000 block of Alcazar Drive
near Mills Canyon yesterday after-
noon.
At approximately noon, a resi-
dent on Alcazar Drive heard a
knock on the door but did not
answer since she did not recognize
the woman on the porch. Moments
later, a man forced the rear sliding
door and entered the residence. He
fled after seeing the resident,
according to police.
A search of the area was unsuc-
cessful, according to police.
The male suspect was described
as black, in his 20s and wearing a
blue and white striped shirt and
jeans. The female suspect was
described as black with shoulder-
length braided hair and wearing a
hat with the word Irish on it,
A similar attempted crime
occurred on the 500 block of
Pullman Road in Hillsborough
Wednesday morning. Hillsborough
police announced the arrest of two
people, Maurice Hayes and Janey
Jackson, for that crime on
Wednesday.
Police take armed
woman into custody
after lengthy standoff
A woman armed with a rifle was
taken into custody on Wednesday
night after she barricaded herself
inside her Belmont home and
allegedly threatened to shoot
responding officers, police said.
At about 8 p.m., officers went to
a home in the 1100 block of
Continentals Way where a man
reported that his wife was threaten-
ing to kill herself, according to
Belmont police.
The officers contacted the
woman, who claimed she had a
gun and threatened to shoot them,
She then barricaded herself in
her home, and efforts to negotiate
with her by telephone were unsuc-
cessful, police said.
Parts of the neighborhood were
evacuated and closed to traffic.
The decision was made to enter
the home by force after the woman
appeared at her front door bleeding
from unknown injuries, police
said.
Officers entered her home at
about 11:30 p.m., and she alleged-
ly brandished a rifle and aimed it
at them, according to police.
Police managed to take her into
custody, and she is being held for
psychiatric evaluation.
One officer suffered a leg injury
in the confrontation and was treat-
ed at a hospital and released.
The woman could face criminal
charges, including assaulting offi-
cers with a deadly weapon, police
said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The
authority overseeing efforts to build
a high-speed rail system in
California approved its revised busi-
ness plan on Thursday, sending the
ambitious project to an uncertain
fate in the Legislature.
The California High-Speed Rail
Authority voted 6-0, with two mem-
bers absent, to approve its latest
plan. Two hours of public comment
preceded the vote, most of it favor-
able toward the bullet train.
Were 30 years behind the rest of
the world. Its time for us to move
ahead in our country, rail board
member Bob Balgenorth said.
Union members touted the project
as a way to create much-needed jobs
in a state that has battled double-
digit unemployment for years.
Critics targeted the projects $68.4
billion cost. That amount is $23
billion more than the amount
sold to voters when they
authorized the project in
2008.
Project opponent Frank
Oliveira said the cost and
other provisions of the
authoritys updated business
plan ran counter to the voter-
approved initiative. When $9 billion
in bonds were approved, voters
were told the total project would
cost $45 billion and connect all the
states major cities with trains run-
ning at speeds of 220 mph.
Last fall, the authority issued a
draft plan saying the rail line would
cost $98 billion, prompting Gov.
Jerry Brown to demand a major
rework.
To reduce costs, the authority pro-
poses a high-speed line through
Californias Central Valley then
connecting it to existing urban rail
lines in the Los Angeles and
San Francisco areas. The
initial high-speed section
would run between
Merced and the San
Fernando Valley and be
completed by 2022.
Do the project right,
comply with the law, or
recongure the plan, said Oliveira,
who is with the group Citizens for
California High-Speed
Accountability.
Sacramento, the state capital, and
San Diego, a major tourist destina-
tion, will not be directly connected
to the high-speed rail line as envi-
sioned in the projects initial phase.
Even a bullet train connection to
Anaheim, home of Disneyland, was
removed to save money, although
board members on Thursday said
they hoped to nd a way to salvage
that connection.

STATE/NATION
By Kimberly Dozier
WASHINGTON Adm. Bill
McRaven, the head of U.S. special
operations, is mapping out a poten-
tial Afghanistan war plan that would
replace thousands of U.S. troops
with small special operations teams
paired with Afghans to help an inex-
perienced Afghan force withstand a
Taliban onslaught as U.S. troops
withdraw.
While the overall campaign
would still be led by conventional
military, the handfuls of special
operators would become the leading
force to help Afghans secure the
large tracts of territory won in more
than a decade of U.S. combat. They
would give the Afghans practical
advice on how to repel attacks,
intelligence to help spot the enemy
and communications to help call for
U.S. air support if overwhelmed by
a superior force.
The Associated Press learned new
details of the draft plan this week.
The special operations proposal
was sketched out at special opera-
tions headquarters in Tampa, Fla., in
mid-February, with Central
Commands Gen. James Mattis and
overall Afghanistan war commander
Gen. John Allen taking part, accord-
ing to several high-level special

SACRAMENTO People con-
victed of spousal rape will no longer
be able to collect alimony if a bill
passed by the state Assembly
becomes law.
AB1522 was passed unanimously
with 69 votes Thursday. It would
prohibit judges from awarding
alimony, attorneys fees or insur-
ance benets to people convicted of
violent sexual felonies against their
spouses.
Democratic Assemblywoman
Toni Atkins of San Diego said that
the bill was necessary to close a
loophole that forces victims to pay
their abusers. The bill is a response
to the case of a San Diego-area
woman who accused her husband of
raping her and was forced to pay his
alimony and attorneys fees before
he was convicted.
Current law prevents spouses con-
victed of attempted spousal murder
from taking their intended victims
assets.
Lawmakers vote to bar

Bill would end use
of mentally retarded
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers
want California to join the federal
government and 42 other states in
ending use of the term mentally
retarded.
The state Senate on Thursday
unanimously passed a bill to drop the
term from legal references and refer
instead to intellectual disability.
The bill now moves to the Assembly.
Democratic Sen. Fran Pavley of
Agoura Hills says SB1381 seeks to
end the use of an offensive and out-
dated term in education and social
services.
The bill is sponsored by The Arc of
California, a group that advocates for
disability rights, and is supported by
United Cerebral Palsy in California.
Pavley says the bill is not expected
to cost the state more money because
the changes will be made during rou-
tine revisions to laws over the next
several years.

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

SAN FRANCISCO The
California Supreme Court ruled
Thursday that employers are under
no obligation to ensure that workers
take legally mandated lunch breaks
in a case that affects thousands of
businesses and millions of workers.
The unanimous opinion came
after workers attorneys argued that
abuses are routine and widespread
when companies arent required to
issue direct orders to take the
breaks. They claimed employers
take advantage of workers who
dont want to leave colleagues dur-
ing busy times.
The case was initially led nine
years ago against Dallas-based
Brinker International, the parent
company of Chilis and other eater-
ies, by restaurant workers com-
plaining of missed breaks in viola-
tion of California labor law.
But the high court sided with
businesses when it ruled that requir-
ing companies to order breaks is
unmanageable and that those deci-
sions should be left to workers. The
decision provided clarity that busi-
nesses had sought regarding the law.
The opinion written by Associate
Justice Kathryn Werdegar explained
that state law does not compel an
employer to ensure employees
cease all work during meal periods.
It stated that while employers are
required to free workers of job
duties for a 30-minute meal break,
the employee is at liberty to use the
time as they choose even if its to
work, she wrote.
The employer is not obligated to
police meal breaks and ensure no
work thereafter is performed,
Werdegar wrote.
Tracee Lorens, lead attorney for
the plaintiffs, said she believed the
courts decision still allowed some
wiggle room for the case to get
class-action certification on the
meal break claims. Lorens said she
was pleased the court did allow a
separate claim regarding the plain-
tiffs receiving proper rest breaks to
proceed as a class-action.
Class-action lawsuits are brought
by one or more plaintiffs on behalf
of themselves and others facing the
same circumstances, and can
include thousands of people in some
cases.
Adam Hohnbaum, a former
Chilis bartender and server in
Encinitas, Calif., who worked for
the chain for about six years, said he
was pleased with the courts deci-
sion allowing at least the rest break
aspect of the suit to move forward.
Most of the time you didnt get a
break or a rest period at all, it just
wasnt a part of the daily operation,
Hohnbaum said.
Hohnbaum hoped the attention
paid to the issue would improve
working conditions for current
employees.
It was unclear whether the opin-
ion would reduce or increase future
class-action lawsuits on the issue
because the court did not dismiss
the meal break violation claim by
workers but instead sent it back to
be reargued in trial courts.
Court: Managers dont have to ensure lunch breaks
The employer is not obligated to police meal
breaks and ensure no work thereafter is performed.

NATION 7
By Laurie Kellman
WASHINGTON The White House
and President Barack Obama himself
rushed into a damage control campaign
Thursday to blunt the impact of a Democratic
consultants suggestion that Ann Romney
isnt qualied to discuss the economy because
she hasnt worked a day in her life.
It was the wrong thing to say, Obama
declared in an interview with WCMH-TV in
Columbus, Ohio, standing up for Republican
rival Mitt Romneys wife with Democrats
suddenly on the defensive over womens
issues for the rst time this election year. Of
the ill-advised statement by consultant
Hilary Rosen, he added, Its not something
that I subscribe to.
In an interview with Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
TV station KCRG, the president said theres
no tougher job than being a mom and cited
the efforts of his wife, Michelle, and his own
mother, a single woman with two children.
Thats work, he said. So, anybody who
would argue otherwise probably needs to
rethink their statement.
The presidents remarks were his answer to
Rosens comments and the Twitter war they
ignited. The mere fact that he weighed in on
the uproar left no doubt that Democrats want
to leave nothing to chance in their effort to
keep female voters in the party fold. Women,
who are the majority of voters in presidential
election years, lean heavily Democratic, and
polls show Obama holds a commanding lead
among this group so far this year in battle-
ground states.
Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts
governor, must win about 40 percent of
female voters to have a chance at beating
Obama, and hes targeting married women
and mothers who tend to be more conserva-
tive. Among this group, Ann Romney is popu-
lar and has been the candidates chief surro-
gate on how the struggling economy has
affected women and families.
So while the candidate remained silent
Thursday, his campaign pounced when Rosen
said on CNN Wednesday that Ann Romney
was no expert on the economy.
His wife has actually never worked a day
in her life, Rosen said. Shes never really
dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a
majority of women in this country are facing.
Rosen apologized late Thursday, after rst
lady Michelle Obama tweeted her own sup-
port for women and mothers.
The backlash to Rosens comments was
bipartisan, brutal and swift, crackling across
Twitter, cable television and old-fashioned
telephone lines. It appeared to have reignited
the Mommy Wars debate, at least for now,
over choices many women make as they jug-
gle motherhood with the work most need to
pay bills, college tuition and a semblance of
nancial security for their families.
Ann Romney fought back on Twitter and
television, tweeting: I made a choice to stay
home and raise ve boys. Believe me, it was
hard work.
Later, on Fox News, she noted that her
career choice was being a mother, and while
she hasnt faced nancial hardship she has
confronted the ordeals of cancer and multiple
sclerosis. Finally, she noted that her husband
has said her work is more important than his
as family breadwinner.

Prosecutors: Zimmerman
ignored warning to back off
SANFORD, Fla. After weeks in hiding,
George Zimmerman made his rst courtroom
appearance Thursday in
the shooting of 17-year-
old Trayvon Martin, and
prosecutors outlined their
murder case in court
papers, saying the neigh-
borhood watch volunteer
followed and confronted
the black teenager after a
police dispatcher told him
to back off.
The brief outline, con-
tained in an afdavit led in support of the
second-degree murder charges, appeared to
contradict Zimmermans claim that Martin
attacked him after he had turned away and
was returning to his vehicle.
In the afdavit, prosecutors also said that
Martins mother identied cries for help heard
in the background of a 911 call as her sons.
Jury selection under
way in John Edwards trial
GREENSBORO, N.C. After years of
investigation, denials and delays, jury selec-
tion began Thursday for
the criminal trial of former
presidential candidate
John Edwards.
Edwards sat at the
defense table as about 180
potential jurors led into a
Greensboro, N.C., court-
room. U.S. District Judge
Catherine C. Eagles then
asked Edwards to stand
and face them. He grinned and nodded as the
judge introduced him.
The trial had been scheduled to begin in late
January, but was delayed after Edwards
lawyers told the judge he had a serious heart
problem that required treatment.

if they turn 5 by Dec. 2, said Simitian in a prepared statement.
If we go down this path, the governors proposal will result in
the largest disenfranchisement of public school students in the
history of the country.
Many early education supporters have argued the governor can-
not simply cut the budget for transitional kindergarten as its cur-
rently required by law. Instead, the law would need to be changed
by a vote of both houses of the California Legislature. With that
logic, and the most recent votes, one could argue the transitional
kindergarten program will most likely move forward in the state.
A number of districts have encouraged families to continue to reg-
ister for the program even as its future has been in limbo.
The transitional kindergarten question is compounded by pos-
sible cuts to state-funded child-care programs like preschool.
Should districts decide not to offer transitional kindergarten, par-
ents of those children could desire another year of preschool.
Cuts to child care will then mean more children signing up for
fewer spots.
Across the state, many educational leaders have spoken out
against cutting the transitional kindergarten program. Early edu-
cation advocates argue the proposed cut would be a step back in
the effort to better prepare children for school. Preschool
California estimates cutting funds could delay access to educa-
tion for 125,000 California students. In the San Mateo County
legislative districts, the cuts could impact 8,463, according to
Preschool California.

The results are in for a Brisbane spe-
cial election held Tuesday on whether to
approve a six-year parcel tax beneting
the Brisbane School District and the
measure appears to have passed, accord-
ing to county elections ofcials.
Measure Q would levy an annual tax
of $156 per parcel that would attempt to
offset the impact of state budget cuts and
funding shortages, which have resulted
in teacher layoffs, swelling class sizes
and cuts to basic supplies and programs,
such as school libraries.
The school district serves about 550
students and is comprised of two ele-
mentary schools and one middle school.
The measure requires two-thirds
approval to pass and election results
indicate that it narrowly edged over the
requirement with 67.5 percent of the
vote.
However, the results will not be certi-
ed until after the votes are manually
tallied, election ofcials said.
About 35 percent of the districts
3,979 eligible voters cast ballots in
Tuesdays election.
In March, Brisbane issued prelimi-
nary layoff notices to 25 percent of
its 30 teachers.
At the time the pink slips were issued,
Superintendent Toni Presta said that the
parcel tax is the only shot the school dis-
trict has at rehiring laid-off elementary
school teachers.
A similar special election was held
last year for a $119 parcel tax, San
Mateo County Elections Manager David
Tom said. Measure W, which also bene-
ted the school district, passed over-
whelmingly with more than 70 percent
approval, he said.
About 33 percent of the eligible voting
population cast votes in last years spe-
cial election, Tom said.

OPINION 9
Letter to the editor
By Pam Frisella
I
t was a great night last Monday to sit in
the Council Chambers alongside the
Board of Trustees of the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District. We
are all on the same page (for the most part)
and with their new leadership and our contin-
uing leadership we can nd a solution to the
issue of overcrowding in the schools in
Foster City.
For the last four years, I have heard from
some very angry parents who feel we should
have given up a park, land, etc. so they could
build a new school so all of our Foster City
children could remain in Foster City. Smaller
class sizes, state of the art classrooms, etc.
However, one of the rst questions I asked
Dr. Cynthia Simms, the district superintend-
ent, that night was Will the additional
school built in Foster City just house Foster
City children? The answer was no.
Now I am not an exclusive person in any
part of my life and do not want to sound like
Im banning all children from San Mateo,
however, I want parents in Foster City to be
abundantly clear that a new school will not
solve their concerns. This school will be
open to both communities, and should be
since the bond that needs to pass is voted on
by residents in Foster City and San Mateo.
Why would they vote to
spend money on building
a school that we wouldnt
even allow their children
to attend?
Although every house-
hold in the district is
assigned to a school, par-
ents in the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary
School District have many choices for their
children. Parents can choose to send their
child to their assigned school, apply to trans-
fer to another school within the district, or
apply to one of our magnet
programs/schools. Please visit this link for
more information:
http://www.smfc.k12.ca.us/lookup.
I am happy we are forming a study group
of so many diverse folks from both commu-
nities and truly hope that a solution can be
found. I have admitted I am carrying some
baggage from the last four years of talks
and frustrations to x these concerns. Still
sticks in my craw that it wasnt even consid-
ered when several people suggested two sto-
ries on Foster City Elementary School when
the architectural designs were still on the
drawing board. Same thoughts were thrown
in about Bowditch Middle School. Now peo-
ple are writing columns suggesting the same
solutions we gave them four years ago.
Those suggestions were not known back then
because they were not popular ideas.
There are many great minds coming
together to study these issues and Im con-
dent that those who will comprise the group
will leave no stone unturned. I have read a
partial list of who will comprise the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief, or SCORE, study
group and I am impressed with their creden-
tials, their commitment and I know the indi-
viduals are open minded and will make a fair
assessment.
We are called the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District and I hope the
end result will infuse these children with
each other so when our children attend high
school in San Mateo they will have already
formed some friendships and tolerance. Both
governing bodies need to be exible when
exploring the needs of our children.

Saving Israel
Editor,
Peter Beinart arrogantly hypothesizes in
his New York Times opinion piece To Save
Israel, Boycott the Settlements (published in
the March 18 edition of the New York Times)
that American Jews need to change the lan-
guage of debate; he says that American Jews
need to boycott what he terms as non-demo-
cratic Israel (beyond the Green Line) to
save Israeli democracy.
Adopting the language of Israels detrac-
tors is reprehensible, misguided nonsense.
What right do we, American Jews, have to
dictate what is right and what is wrong to
Israel, especially because we do not pay
taxes, send our kids to its army or make most
of the sacrices most Israelis make? What
gives us (and Beinart) the right to dictate
from afar what Israels policies should or
should not be?
I have long felt that American Jews have a
voice, but not a veto, when it comes to Israel.
Israelis should make their own decisions and
live with the consequences of their decisions.
We Americans must be supportive and lend
our voices to strengthening Israeli democra-
cy. We should advocate on Israels behalf,
defend Israel locally and abroad and work for
change that benets Israeli democracy in
constructive ways not engage in specious,
counterproductive boycotts to make some
misguided point. We do not need to destroy
Israel to save it. We should pick up our tool
belts and build.

One clarifying comment
The Oregonian, Portland
A
s politicians hunker down for a
long, bipolar year producing little,
citizen-consumers get no vacation
from the need to protect their privacy online.
Global Payments, which processes transac-
tions for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and
American Express, revealed that hackers had
stolen 1.5 million credit card numbers. The
company acknowledged the breach at least
two weeks after it happened.
Across the pond, British citizens nd their
calls, texts, emails, web searches and other
presumably private transactions in the sights
of the government headed by Prime Minister
David Cameron. Cameron has said it is
vital for his government to be able to mon-
itor such behavior to stop serious crime and
terrorism.
While many cases of the sharing of
individual data occur with the consent of
people who opt in, others demonstrate
the persistent erosion of rights and privi-
leges for individuals who dont control
their personal information.
The U.S. Congress, not surprisingly, is of
two minds about all this. Elected ofcials on
both sides of the aisle support legislation
addressing cyber-security and mandating
prompt notication of consumers involved in
data breaches ... there is much to like about
the idea of such a bill, which would grant
consumers the right to understand and con-
trol the use of their personal information by
companies with access to it.
In an election year, an online consumer
privacy bill isnt likely to gain traction. But
the threats to individual privacy online are
rising.

Courtesy,and
awareness,
on the road
L
ife moves pretty fast. And there are
plenty of distractions. Two recent
situations point to the deadly con-
sequences of distractions a pedestrian
was struck and
killed by a bicy-
clist in San
Francisco March
29 and a father
and daughter
were struck and
killed by an SUV
in Concord April
7.
In the San
Francisco pedes-
trian death, the
bicyclists attor-
ney claims he
entered the intersection lawfully yet was
unable to stop before he struck a 71-year-
old man, who later died at the hospital.
Video evidence may prove otherwise and
the district attorney is weighing charges.
Either way, the end result is tragic for
everyone involved.
In the Concord incident, a young motorist
lost control of his vehicle and slammed into
the pair while they were riding their bicy-
cles. We dont yet know what caused the
motorist to lose control but police are try-
ing to determine if it was caused by texting
and driving.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness
Month and its slogan is Talk, Text, Crash.
Its not always true. But it can be. Life
moves pretty fast and all it takes is a sec-
ond to stop paying attention to the primary
task at hand for tragedy to strike.
The San Francisco death may not be a
pure example of distraction, but it certainly
calls attention to the need of being aware of
your surroundings and taking necessary
precaution. It also calls attention to the
need of those on all forms of transportation
to follow the rules of the road whether it
be pedestrians, bicyclists or drivers. We are
all in this together.
Countless times many of you have wit-
nessed bicyclists blowing through stop-
lights, or pedestrians crossing against the
light. In downtown San Mateo alone, Ive
seen pedestrians crossing the street with a
cellphone to their head barely aware that
the light has already changed while cars are
approaching the intersection at a fairly fast
clip. Or drivers making a right on red with-
out even noticing pedestrians stepping into
the crosswalk. Its not just San Mateo. The
scene is likely repeated every day in every
city.
And dont get me wrong, Im not paint-
ing all bicyclists, pedestrians or even driv-
ers in one certain light, but there is a matter
of courtesy that seems to be lacking at
times by some.
And just mention a time you saw a driver
talking on the phone or texting or reading
or applying make-up or shaving and you
are bound to encounter similar stories from
others on their experiences with the danger.
And yet it continues. Every day.
Sometimes it takes seeing another driver,
pedestrian or bicyclist acting recklessly to
change our own behavior. Sometimes it
takes a near-miss ourselves to shake us to
attention. And sometimes it takes news sto-
ries of tragedies to pay more attention.
Whatever way it takes, its important to
consider your own safety and the safety of
others when taking to the road in whatever
capacity. All it takes is one second.

NEW YORK Encouraging signs
from two of the most important zones of
the world economy, the powerhouse of
China and the debt-burdened countries
of Europe, drove the Dow Jones indus-
trial average up 181 points Thursday, its
second-biggest gain this year.
Chinas central bank reported a sur-
prising jump in loans in March. That
eased concerns about a sudden slow-
down in the Chinese economy, whose
growth has helped pull the globe out of
recession.
Italys government easily sold $6.4
billion in bonds to investors. After the
auction, borrowing rates for Italy fell,
European stock indexes reversed earlier
declines and worries about the continen-
tal debt crisis eased, at least for the day.
European governments have a moun-
tain of debt coming due early this year,
said John Canally, investment strategist
at LPL Financial in Boston. Some of
what youre seeing today in markets is a
bit of relief that theyre working through
it.
In New York, the Dow Jones industri-
al average climbed 1.4 percent to close
at 12,986.58. It was the Dows biggest
jump since March 13 and put the average
within sight of clearing 13,000 again.
After the market closed, Google
reported earnings that were ahead of
analysts estimates and said it would
issue a new class of non-voting stock to
shareholders. Google rose 0.5 percent in
aftermarket trading.
On Wednesday the stock market
snapped out of a ve-day slump, its
longest and deepest of the year. Investors
were worried about European debt,
slower job growth and the Federal
Reserves resistance to taking further
steps to boost the economy.
I think the fear was overdone, said
Scott Brown, chief economist at
Raymond James. This is the manic
nature of the stock market. The senti-
ment seems to shift back and forth day
by day. Either the economy is booming
or its completely falling apart.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index rose 18.86 points, 1.4 percent,
to 1,387.57. The Nasdaq composite
index gained 39.09 points, 1.3 percent,
to 3,055.55.

WASHINGTON The Treasury
Department rushed out a major revamp
of its foreclosure-prevention program in
2010, limiting the plans ability to help
people who are unemployed or owe
more than their homes are worth, a gov-
ernment watchdog says.
Treasurys Hardest Hit Fund, which
distributes money to state housing agen-
cies for a range of programs, has been
plagued by delays and disagreements
with mortgage companies that must par-
ticipate for the program to succeed,
according to a report released Thursday
by the Special Inspector General for the
nancial bailouts.
Treasurys failure to set meaningful
goals for the program leaves the agency
vulnerable to criticism that its trying to
avoid accountability, said Christy
Romero, Special Inspector General for
the Troubled Asset Relief Program, in a
statement.
The Hardest Hit Fund is part of the
broader nancial bailout known as the
Troubled Asset Relief Program, a $700
billion bailout package approved at the
peak of the 2008 nancial crisis.
The fund was created to x weakness-
es in Treasurys earlier effort to prevent
foreclosures. Critics had said the origi-
nal program did not help unemployed
people or people who owed more than
their homes were worth.
Money from the Hardest Hit Fund is
distributed to state housing agencies,
which run a variety of aid programs for
homeowners. The special inspector gen-
erals report says it has distributed only
$217.4 million about three percent of
the money set aside for the fund.
Of the money that was distributed,
nearly all went to assist people who were
unemployed and late on their mortgages.
Almost none went to people who are
underwater because their homes lost
value after they took out big loans.
Unless it is overhauled, the program is
likely to have limited impact on those
homeowners, the report says.
The program was hindered from the
start by Treasurys failure to gain sup-
port from the government-controlled
mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, the report says. Many big, private
mortgage companies initially refused to
participate because they wanted guid-
ance from Fannie and Freddie, it says.
The companies, called mortgage ser-
vicers, collect peoples monthly pay-
ments and foreclose when they fall
behind.
Official: Foreclosure aid program flawed

NEW YORK Google improved its
short-term nances even as it seeks to
preserve its long-term interests.
The online search leader reported a 61
percent increase in its net income for the
first three months of the year and
announced plans to issue a new class of
stock to shareholders. The new shares
wont have any voting power and will
help Googles senior leaders keep con-
trol years from now.
Under the plan, expected to win
approval in June, all current stockhold-
ers would get one share of the new Class
C stock for each share they now own.
This effectively splits Googles stock
price in half.
Employees given Google stock in the
future would get the non-voting stock,
allowing voting power to remain with
existing shareholders. The same would
hold true for companies that Google
buys using its stock.
Stock splits reduce prices for each
share, allowing smaller investors to par-
ticipate. Although Google said investors
had been clamoring for one, the decision
announced Thursday seemed driven
more by a desire to retain control.
Without change, senior leaders would
eventually lose their voting power. CEO
Larry Page and fellow co-founder
Sergey Brin said that would undermine
our aspirations for Google over the
very long term.
Google to split stock to keep power with founders

NEW YORK Hewlett-Packard Co.
is showing signs of recovery as it
strengthened its position as the worlds
largest maker of personal computers and
gained back some of the business it had
lost while weighing whether to dump its
PC division.
HPs stock jumped more than 7 percent
Thursday, after research groups Gartner
and IDC released their PC shipment esti-
mates for the rst three months of the
year. HP was the best performer in the
Dow Jones industrial average.
HP is in the midst of a turnaround effort
under a new chief, former eBay Inc. CEO
Meg Whitman. Her predecessor, Leo
Apotheker, wanted to sell or spin off the
PC business, a plan that contributed to his
ouster in September after 11 months on
the job. Whitman decided a month later to
keep the unit, despite the growing com-
petitive challenge the PC industry faces
from smartphones and tablet computers.
The company lost market share during
that period of uncertainty. With PCs
increasingly commoditized, customers
were free to choose a rival and avoid
wondering whether HP would be around
to offer product support in a few months.
According to IDC, HPs worldwide
market share dropped to 16 percent in the
fourth quarter, after HP signaled in mid-
August that it might shed the PC busi-
ness. HPs share had been nearly 18 per-
cent earlier in the year.

scored his second goal of the game
3:34 into the second overtime, giv-
ing the San Jose Sharks a 3-2 victo-
ry over the St. Louis Blues in Game
1 of their playoff series Thursday
night.
Andrew Desjardins tied it for San
Jose with 5:16 in regulation, bang-
ing in a one-timer from the slot from
Tommy Wingels, and Dan Boyle
had two assists. Antti Niemmi, who
won a Stanley Cup with Chicago in
2010, made 40 saves.
Patrik Berglund scored his rst
two career playoff goals in the third
period for the Blues, the No. 2 seed
in the Western Conference.
St. Louis swept the regular season
series 4-0 for the rst time since
1994-95 and lost only six games in
regulation at home during the regu-
lar season. The Blues dropped the
last two, however, to Phoenix and
Columbus after clinching the
Central Division.
Game 2 is Saturday night in St.
Louis, and the Blues will be seeking
their rst postseason victory since
2004.
While the Blues struggled at the
nish of the regular season, going 4-
4-3, the Sharks won four in a row
and seven of nine.
Havlat has scored 30 points in his
last 29 playoff games, and put the
Sharks up in the series. The Blues
were in control most of the rst
overtime, reeling off nine shots in a
row at one point.
Desjardins forced overtime with
his second goal in four career play-
off games at 14:44, banging in a
one-timer from the slot off a feed
from Tommy Wingels.
Berglunds rst goal came on a
deection that uttered just under
Niemis armpit on the stick side in
the opening minute, and the second
came on a power play at 7:28 after
Havlat was whistled for tripping
Halak behind the net.

Carlmont right elder Melissa Pekarek chases down a sinking line drive during the Scots 8-1 win over Capuchino Thursday afternoon.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It appears that Carlmont softball and coach
Jim Liggett arent stopping at 900.
A couple of days after the legendary coach
picked up his 900th career victory in a tourna-
ment, the Scots began the push towards anoth-
er nice round number, defeating visiting
Capuchino 8-1 to stay unbeaten in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division action.
Danielle Giuliacci and Rebecca Faulkner
combined for seven innings of work, allowing
one earned run on four hits. They struck out
11.
The pitching was good today, Liggett
said. Weve been using [two pitchers] more,
depending on how our starter looks. We have
two very good pitchers and were not afraid to
use them.
Aparently, afraid is what the rest of the PAL
should be if Giuliacci and Faulkner continue
to pitch like they did on Thursday. The righty-
lefty combo used a great fastball made better
by a devastating changeup.

in the third inning that brought in Eleni Katout

DENVER No win for the ages. Or, for that
matter, the aged.
At 49, Jamie Moyer failed in his second
attempt to become the oldest pitcher to win a
major league game when Madison Bumgarner
took a no-hit bid into the sixth and scattered four
hits over 7 1-3 innings in the San Francisco
Giants 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on
Thursday.
Moyers shot at history was thwarted not only
by Bumgarner, another crafty left-hander who in
many ways is a younger version of Moyer, but
also by teammate Dexter Fowler, whose sixth-
inning error on a routine y ball to center led to
two unearned runs.
The Rockies made two errors behind Moyer,
who relies on his defense and on fooling hitters,
not blowing fastballs past them.
The 22-year-old Bumgarner (1-1), who was-
nt even born when Moyer made his major
league debut in 1986, stied a Rockies lineup
that had produced 17 runs and 22 hits the night
before. He walked two and struck out two.

A new era of Mills High School football has
begun.
The Vikings have hired Half Moon Bay
offensive coordinator and frosh-soph head
coach Mike Krieger as their new football
coach.
Its great, Krieger said. Just great. Im
excited about it. This will be my rst head
coaching job at the high school level. Im
excited. Im familiar with the program at Mills
and have kept an eye on the program ever
since we left for Half Moon Bay. When I
heard about the changes
going on there, I wanted to
throw my name in the mix
and see if I qualified.
When I got the offer, I
gladly accepted and have
been working feveriously
to assemble a staff.
Krieger becomes the
fifth Mills head coach
since 2000.
Krieger takes over for Packy Moss, who
spent four seasons at the helm for Mills.
Under Moss, the Vikings were 3-26-1 overall
and 1-13-1 in Peninsula Athletic League play.
Im familiar with the type of kid they have
at Mills from my previous experience with the
school, Krieger said, who served as an assis-
tant coach under his brother Barrett Krieger at
Mills from 2003 to 2006. I think this is a pro-
gram that has kind of lulled itself to sleep and
has a chance to get itself back on track.
Hopefully, well do what we do best and thats
putting our players in the right position to be
successful.
Krieger is a Half Moon Bay graduate and
has a degree from the University of
California-Berkeley in Legal Studies. As a
player, Krieger earned two varsity letters for
the Cougars football team and went on to play

Sacramento business leaders are
asking NBA Commissioner David
Stern and league owners to strongly
encourage the Maloof family to sell
the Kings so a deal for a new arena
can proceed.
In a letter signed by about two
dozen of Sacramentos most power-
ful businesses leaders and sent to
Stern on Thursday, the group accus-
es Kings owners Joe, Gavin and
George Maloof of not negotiating in
good faith. It also questions whether
the Maloofs have the nances and
motivation to keep the team in
Sacramento.
We feel it is time for the Maloofs
to sell their ownership of the fran-
chise, for the good of the city and in
the interest of advancing
Sacramentos effort to build a down-
town arena, a portion of the letter
reads. The city, the fans and the
NBA deserve
and require an
ownership group
that is fully com-
mitted to being a
good-faith con-
structive partici-
pant in the arena
process.
And we
deserve an own-
ership group that is not only com-
mitted to the long-term viability of
the franchise in this region but also
one that has the wherewithal to make
it a thriving, competitive organiza-
tion.
The timing of the letter was no
accident.
The Maloofs were giving an
update on the project to the NBA
Board of Governors during its annu-
al spring meeting in New York. It
was exactly a year ago when
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson
and the citys business leaders con-
vinced owners
along with
presenting more
than $10 million
of new sponsor-
ship and ticket
sales for this sea-
son at the
same Manhattan
hotel to keep the
Kings in
Sacramento instead of moving to
Anaheim, Calif.
Family spokesman Eric Rose said
the Maloofs are saddened and dis-
appointed by the letter. He said the
Maloofs are not selling the team and
are committed to help fund the esti-
mated $391 million arena, which
would open for the 2015-16 season,
pending nal approval of the non-
binding agreement the City Council
already passed.
We share in the communitys
frustration on forging a workable
agreement on what is ultimately a
$400 million transaction that will
impact the region for many years to
come, Rose said in a statement.
However, we must all remember
what is at stake in the development
of a new arena in Sacramento, and
must insure the agreement works for
all parties involved, and most impor-
tantly, the residents of the City.
Sacramentos place on the NBA
map seemed secured only a few
weeks ago.
Under the non-binding term sheet,
Sacramento will contribute $255.5
million, mostly by leasing out park-
ing garages around the facility. The
Kings agreed to pay $73.25 million
and arena operator AEG will con-
tribute $58.75 million. The remain-
ing gap will be covered by a ticket
surcharge, advertising around the
facility, the sale of public lands and a
sponsorship campaign to sell bricks
and plaques around the complex.
The biggest sticking point has
been a dispute over environmental
and predevelopment costs.
Under the term sheet, the Kings
and arena operator AEG each were
to pay about $3.25 million in pre-
development costs with the city pay-
ing the remaining $6.5 million.
George Maloof said in a phone inter-
view that he does not believe the
team should pay $3.25 million in
pre-development costs because
theyre playing the role of the ten-
ant.
The NBA, which helped broker
the deal, agreed to pay about
$200,000 to cover the initial costs
and keep the project on schedule.
Whether the rest will be covered
and who will cover it was among
the items expected to be discussed
this week in New York during two
days of meetings, which end Friday.
Sacramento city ofcials are not
attending the meetings. Johnson has
said the city has done its part and its
up to the Kings and the NBA to
resolve the issue.

NEW ORLEANS Sean Payton
handed over control of his team to
Joe Vitt once before and the Saints
have decided to do it again.
The Saints Thursday named
Paytons trusted second-in-command
their interim coach, despite the fact
that Vitt will miss a third of the sea-
son for his role in New Orleans
bounty system.
For his part, Payton received a sea-
son-long suspension which begins
Monday; Vitt, who takes over
Monday, was handed a six-game sus-
pension.
Saints general manager Mickey
Loomis said in his announcement
that the team will address at a later
time how to divvy up Vitts responsi-
bilities during his six-week absence.
It is important that we keep Sean
Paytons philosophy front and center
during this season, Loomis said.
Sean has been the driving force
behind the tremendous success our
team has enjoyed during the past six
years, his leadership will be missed.
But we need to set a course of action
that gives us the best chance to win
this season without our head coach.
We considered a number of great
options to handle Paytons duties
both internally and externally, but
believe this will provide the most
seamless transition for our players
and our coaching staff, allowing our
offensive and defensive staffs to
remain intact with the fewest
changes, Loomis continued. This is
the same structure we used last sea-
son during Seans knee injury.
Vitt, who carries the titles of assis-
tant head coach and linebackers
coach, briey stepped in as acting
head coach last season when Payton
broke his leg. Vitt also was interim
coach with St. Louis in 2005 before
joining New Orleans as part of
Paytons very rst staff in 2006.
Vitt will be able to oversee the off-
season training program and training
camp before stepping aside for the
rst six weeks of the regular season.
The NFL played no role in the
decision-making process.
Its the Saints decision, NFL
spokesman Greg Aiello said, adding
the team did not have to get approval
from the league to make Vitt the
interim coach.
Loomis said the Saints expect to
have a plan laid out for Vitts absence
by training camp.
We are fortunate to have a great
veteran coaching staff well equipped
to handle this challenge, Loomis
said. Joe and Sean have worked
closely together to build our program,
one of the most successful in the NFL
in the past six years, and I have the
fullest condence that Joe will con-
tinue that success that Sean has
brought us.
The Saints assistants who can pick
up the slack during Vitts absence
include: offensive coordinator Pete
Carmichael, offensive line coach
Aaron Kromer and new defensive
coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
The decision gives Saints players a
measure of certainty and direction as
the Monday opening of the offseason
training program approaches.
Still looming, however, are possi-
ble punishments for between 22 and
27 current and former Saints defend-
ers that the NFL says participated in
the crunch-for-cash bounty system
that disgraced former Saints defen-
sive coordinator has apologized for
running for the previous three sea-
sons.
Saints name Vitt interim coach for 2012
baseball and rugby at Berkeley.
He started coaching with his broth-
er Barrett in 1990.
Krieger had four stints with Half
Moon Bay, having been an assistant
coach of both varsity and frosh-soph.
Kriegers coaching highlights
include frosh-soph league champi-
onships at Half Moon Bay and
Lowell High School, and winning
the 2003 and 2004 PAL titles while
an assistant at Mills.
Right now, Kriegers biggest task
is assembling a staff for not one, but
two football teams as the former
frosh-soph staff at Mills has decided
to move on.
Since 2001, Mills is 44-67-1 over-
all and 36-32-1 in PAL play. The
Vikings have been Ocean Division
champs three times (2001, 2003,
2006).
From 2001 to 2008, Mills was an
even 41-41.
Before Moss, Kriegers brother
Barrett was the head coach. From
2003 to 2006, he compiled a PAL
record of 15-8 and an overall mark of
26-16.
In 2002 Fred Barnes led the
Vikings to a 2-5 league mark and 2-8
overall.
Mike Tenerowicz, in 2000 and
2001, went 11-2 in the PAL,13-7
overall.
Overall realistically, knowing our
schedule and our opponents, I would
like to go 5-5 [next season], Krieger
said looking forward. I think that
would be a great start, within that, 3-
2, 2-3 in league would be a nice
building block. I think the team is
going to be relatively young.
Hopefully we can get the program
going.

get the nal three outs. The Rockies loaded the bases with one out
when pinch hitter Todd Helton lined out to second baseman
Emmanuel Burriss. Tyler Colin, who broke up Bumgarners no-
hitter in the sixth, drew a walk to make it 4-2, before Marco
Scutaro ied out to right.
Colvins sinking line drive went under the glove of diving left
elder Melky Cabrera for a one-out triple in the sixth. He scored
on Fowlers single to make it 4-1.
The age difference between the starting pitchers 26 years and
256 days was the largest since Satchel Paige faced Bill
Monbouquette in 1965, and the third-largest since 1900, according
to STATS LLC.
It was pretty cool getting to throw against him, Bumgarner
said. I can see why hes still successful. Hes tough to hit.
Moyer became the oldest pitcher to make multiple starts in a
season, but what he really wants is to get that rst win since 2010
with Philadelphia. He missed all of last season following ligament-
replacement surgery on his left elbow.
I threw way too many pitches early in the game, Moyer said.
I made a lot of good pitches when I needed to.
Part of the reason for Moyers high pitch count of 112 was that
he had to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the rst after third base-
man Chris Nelson made a throwing error on the games rst bat-
ter.
Jamie gave us a chance to win, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.
Couple of errors. Not great defense.
Or offense, for that matter.
GIANTS
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain will
be on the mound just more than a week
after signing his splashy new six-year
contract worth $127.5 million. Yes, thats
a big deal for San Francisco nancial-
ly and otherwise.
Still, when Buster Posey squats into
that familiar catchers crouch for his rst
counting home game since a devastating
collision at the plate late last May cost
him the season, more than 40,000 in the
sellout crowd at AT&T Park will be eager-
ly watching his every move and breathing
a collective sigh of relief.
Hes back, at last. Its for real. Even if
Posey is being slowed by a bout of shin-
gles.
The rehab is over, Posey said in
declaring himself 100 percent ready for
the rigors of a 162-game season.
And bearded closer Brian Wilson feels
the same way. He plans to race out from
the bullpen to his regular tune of Jump
Around to pitch the ninth inning when-
ever he gets the chance after missing time
late last year with elbow trouble.
There is no lack of intrigue as the
Giants return to their waterfront ballpark
for the home opener Friday against the
Pittsburgh Pirates. And San Francisco is
determined to get through the fanfare of
this one much like it wanted to do to on a
far grander scale last spring as reigning
World Series champions.
San Francisco is off to a slow start, and
will look at this homestand with the
Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies as a
chance to get on track.
Posey will be cheered from every direc-
tion probably even more praise than he
already received last week for an exhibi-
tion game with the Oakland Athletics.
Fans erupted and jumped to their feet
when he ran in left eld before rst pitch
to warm up his legs, and again when he
took his position behind the plate, then
each time in stepped in to hit.
Hes our core guy. Hes our core guy
in the middle of the lineup and we missed
him last year, Cain said. We missed him
on the offensive side and, as a staff, we
missed him behind the plate. Were look-
ing forward to Buster being back and
healthy.
The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year is
loved in this city, the catchers catchy
moniker no doubt helping his cause to
become a household name. Poseys long
journey back from three torn ligaments in
his left ankle and a broken bone in his
lower leg was grueling, something the
fans seem to appreciate as he tries to
return to the top form that helped lead the
Giants to an improbable championship in
2010.
That was quite a special moment. You

duo was pretty much in control.
Coulters RBI gave the Mustangs
a 1-0 lead, but the Scots got the run
right back in the bottom part of the
frame. A hit batsman and then a
misplay on an attempted sacrice
bunt (followed by a well-executed
one), brought Christy Peterson to
the dish. On a 1-2 pitch, Peterson
dropped the head of bat on an inside
fastball and drove it down the right
eld line to bring in two runs on a
triple.
It was a really big inning,
Liggett said. I thought Petersen
really came through and hit a line
shot down the right eld line. She
stayed focused and had a really
good hit.
Peterson scored on an RBI ground
out in the next at-bat.
From there, Carlmont was carried
by its pitching, highlighted by
Faulkners three strikeouts (all look-
ing) in the sixth.
I like the pitching, Liggett said.
The pitching has been consistent
all year. I like the speed. The kids
run the bases really well and we
have some young kids that are real-
ly coming around as far as hitting
the ball.
Weve had our struggles hitting
the ball this year, said Capuchino
coach Todd Grammatico. I have to
get the kids at the bottom of the
order hitting better and that come
with working hard at practice. Were
growing as a team. We have a lot of
games left.
The Scots added two more runs in
the bottom of fth on a two-RBI sin-
gle by Gabriella Pons.
Carlmont crossed three more in
the bottom of the sixth on four hits.
Back to back singles by Taylor
Yzaguirre and Janelle Shiozaki was
key. Kelly Robinson also had an
RBI.
The intensity is back,
Grammatico said. We lost some of
our intensity. Im not really upset
about this loss. Im happier that our
intensity was back.
I was glad they came ready to
play today. It didnt end up the way
we wanted it to but I think well be
OK.

slot. Berglund had one two-goal
game during the regular season, Jan.
23 against Pittsburgh, and had one
goal and no assists the last six
games.
The Sharks, who were shut out in
both trips to St. Louis during the
season, capitalized on David
Perrons retaliation slashing penalty
to take the lead. After getting driven
into the boards by Brent Burns,
Perron responded with a two-hand-
ed baseball swing to the torso.
Martin Havlats deection put San
Jose in front with 22 seconds to go
in the penalty.
Halak was well-screened on a
wrist shot from the slot by Dan
Boyle that was tipped in front at
6:02 for Havlats 29th point in his
last 29 postseason games.
It was a rare failure by Blues
penalty killers, who stopped 51 con-
secutive chances late in the season
and were ranked eighth overall. The
Sharks had the second-ranked
power play.
NOTES: The Sharks were 29-1-4

By Christy Lemire
A little nyuk-nyuk-nyuk goes a
long way in The Three Stooges,
Peter and Bobby Farrellys feature-
length homage to the classic slap-
stick comedy trio.
The Farrelly brothers have want-
ed to make this movie for years, and
for the most part they didnt try to
inict their signature gross-out sen-
sibility upon known and revered
source material. Yes, there is a scene
in which Moe, Larry and Curly get
into a urine ght by pointing naked
newborns at each other in a materni-
ty ward. And Curly does pass some
major gas, but its actually relevant
from a plot perspective.
As directors and writers (with
screenplay help from their boyhood
friend Mike Cerrone), the Farrellys
have shown surprising restraint.
Their Three Stooges is sweeter
than you might expect, and its cer-
tainly more tolerable than their last
movie, the crass Hall Pass from
last year.
But its hard to imagine who the
lm is for today beyond hardcore
fans of the original shorts and 10-
year-old boys who double over gig-
gling at the sight of grown men dou-
bling over in pain. Despite its brisk
pace and brief running time and
even with its episodic structure
the lm is broken up into three indi-
vidual episodes with a through line
that unites them The Three
Stooges grows very old, very
quickly.
There are a few cute ideas,
though, and some clever casting
choices. Every once in a while a pun
is good for a chuckle. But the head-
bonking and the eye-poking, the
face-slapping and the nger-snap-
ping and the constant clang of
sound effects are too much to bear
over an extended period of time. If
anything, the Farrellys Three
Stooges might make you want to
go back and revisit the original
threesome in short doses for a
reminder of how inuential their
brand of comedy has become.
These adventures take place in the
present day, though, as Larry (Will
& Grace star Sean Hayes in a wild
wig), Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos
of 24 and The Kennedys) and
Curly (Will Sasso of MADtv) are
still living at the orphanage where
they were dumped as infants,
despite the fact that theyre now
grown men in their mid-30s. That is
one amusing gag: As time passes,
different actors play the threesome
at various ages, but the nuns who
raised them stay exactly the same.
And these three actors are doing
nearly dead-on impressions of Larry
One long poke in the eye
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Curly, Larry
or Moe?
When it comes to their favorite
knucklehead, the new Three
Stooges Will Sasso as Curly,
Sean Hayes as Larry and Chris
Diamantopoulos as Moe pro-
gressed the way many fans did as
they grew up watching the comedy
shorts.
Really young kids fall under
Curly Howards spell of guileless-
ness and naivete. Older fans take to
brother Moe Howards aggressive,
domineering manner. And fans
eventually come to appreciate
Larry Fines shrewd comic timing
alongside Curly and Moes more
obvious laughs.
In an interview together, Sasso,
Hayes and Diamantopoulos,
whose big-screen update The
Three Stooges opens Friday, dis-
cuss which Stooge scored the most
nyuks with them at different ages.
Diamantopoulos: When I was
really, really young and I rst start-
ed watching it, it was Curly. And I
remember distinctly, my brother,
Curly,Larry or Moe? New
Stooges pick favorites

round seeds and nuts are a
weeknight cooks dream
ingredient.
With virtually no effort from you,
they add tons of protein-rich crunch and
pack deep, savory avors. Ground
peanuts, for example, can be used to
avor meatballs and burgers or to coat
meatloaf. Ground almonds can be com-
bined with tomato sauce and chipotle
peppers to make a Mexican mole sauce
for chicken.
Ground cashews can be used to coat
shrimp for baking. Ground pistachios
are wonderful tossed with a bit of melt-
ed butter and sprinkled over salmon for
roasting.
And ground nuts of just about any
variety can be sprinkled over rice noo-
dles tossed with shrimp or chicken for a
peanut noodle-style dish.
There are just a couple pointers to
consider when cooking with ground
nuts or seeds. First, the point is to grind
them only until they resemble coarse
breadcrumbs, not reduce them to peanut
butter. A food processor (use the pulse
setting) is ideal for this. But in a pinch,
you can do it by hand with a large knife
on the cutting board.
Second, nuts and seeds stand up ne
to baking, but not so well to broiling.
The high fat content of most nuts and
seeds makes them rather ammable. I
once tried broiling a pan of scallops
topped with crushed peanuts. They
quickly burst into ames. Really.
One of my favorite ways to use
ground nuts is in breading for baked
chicken breasts. In this recipe, I give
them a bit of kick
with red pepper
akes, but use
whatever season-
ings you like.
For the nuts, I
used marcona
almonds, which are
a Spanish variety
of almond that
have a tender, but-
tery-savory avor
quite different
from conventional
almonds. But you
also could use ground pistachios or
peanuts.
MARCONA ALMOND-CRUSTED
BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
To cut the fat in this recipe, you could
substitute fat-free half-and-half for the
heavy cream used to make the pan
sauce.
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
2 cups salted marcona almonds
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper akes,
to taste
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose our
1 large egg, beaten
2 large boneless, skinless chicken
breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces sliced button mushrooms
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a baking
sheet with cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine the
almonds and red pepper akes. Pulse
until the almonds are coarsely ground,
but not reduced to a paste. Transfer the
mixture to a wide, shallow bowl. Mix in
the breadcrumbs. Place the our in a
second bowl and the egg in a third.
One at a time, lay each chicken breast
at on the cutting board. Use a knife to
carefully slice each in half horizontally
to create 2 thin cutlets. Dredge each
cutlet rst through the our, then the
egg, and nally through the almond-
breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
Arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake the cutlets for 10 minutes, or
until lightly browned and cooked
through.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over
medium-high, heat the oil. Add the
mushrooms, onion and garlic and saute
until the mushrooms are browned and
any liquid that was released has evapo-
rated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the
cream, scraping the bottom of the pan.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir in
the chives.
Served the chicken cutlets topped
with the mushroom sauce.

who was older, saying to me, OK, were
going to rewind this one (Disorder in the
Court, in which Larrys antics include
whooping like Tarzan and skewering a mans
toupee with a violin bow).
I must have been 8 years old, and he says,
Watch only Larry. And I was like, whats
Larry doing? Whats that? And I remember
from that moment, you see Larry doing little
things, gestures, saying things like With
pleasure (in a stilted, affected voice). I could
see there was so much more to what he was
doing.
Then when I hit my adolescent years, Moe
made me laugh till I couldnt breathe, because
he got so angry. It reminded me of my father.
My dads amazing, but he had quite a tem-
per, and I think that I matched him in that.
When I rst found out the movie was happen-
ing, the audition was to pick whatever Stooge
you want to be, and I turned to my wife and
said, Im not going to be Curly or Larry. I just
dont know. She looked at me and said, Hey,
Type A. Youre Moe.
Hayes: Everybodys drawn to Curly,
because when youre a kid, hes the most
childlike and hes the most innocent and lov-
able and cuddly and hilarious. And then you
get older, and you realize the older humor is
Moe, and Larry, kind of. But your eye and
your sense of childhood go directly to Curly.
Larry, when I was a kid, I thought he was
boring, and I thought he was useless, and I
thought he didnt have a lot to do and was
always in the background. Then you study
them, and you realize hes awesome, so subtle
and so smart and so in it.
Whats funny about Larry is hes always
along for the ride with whoevers driving,
whether its Curly thats driving a scene or
Moes driving a scene. Larrys like, Yeah,
yeah. What he said.
Sasso: I sort of as a kid was fascinated with
all the fat comedians, like John Candy, John
Belushi, Benny Hill. And Curly was among
them. ... So I had the same thing as the boys.
Growing up, it was Curly. I could not look at
him without laughing. (to Diamantopoulos) I
wish your brother would have called me when
you were 8 and I was 8 to tell me to have a
look at Larry.
As I got to my teens, it was, why is this
man so angry at them? So I became very fas-
cinated with Moe. He still cracks me up. I for-
get which one, but there are a couple where
theyre down in a hole digging, and smacking
each other with things. It was a rare bit when
Moe would just get his, so hes getting
whacked in the head with all these tools from
Larry and Curly, and Moe is in disbelief, like,
whats going on here? That made me laugh so
much.
And then yes, you get even older, what is
that third guy doing? I always looked at it like,
Curly, you need Moe, without Moe, youd be
lost. But you look at Larry. You got a style and
some brains. Why are you with these guys?
And what about Shemp Howard, who
replaced brother Curly after he had a stroke?
Diamantopoulos: I love Shemp because
my mom loved Shemp the most, especially in
Brideless Groom.
Shemp needs to get married to inherit a
great sum of money, and theres this one
sequence where Moe and Shemp are in a
phone booth and need to call Shemps uncle,
and Moe drops the nickel and they cant nd
it. And theyre stuck in the phone booth, and
Shemp gets tangled up in the wire and pressed
up against the wall with his hair down and his
nose pushed up like this. And Larrys outside
biting his nails, waiting for them to come out.
Larrys commissioned to ask the ladies
going by, Who wants to get married? And he
says,
Miss, would you like to get married? She
goes, What? and he goes, Get married!And
she goes, I dont know, but you are kind of
cute at that. Larry says, Oh, not to me. To
him, and points to the phone booth, and
Shemps face is pressed up against the thing.
She screams and smacks Larry.
I remember my mom used to get a kick out
of that. I thought, Shemps all right if he can
make my mom laugh.
THREE
Fine and Moe and Curly Howard, rather than
going in a knowing, post-modern direction
with the characters.
Jane Lynch, in a departure from her famous
snark, plays the kindly Mother Superior;
Larry David is a sight to behold as her side-
kick, the cranky Sister Mary-Mengele (shes
essentially Larry David in a nuns habit). One
day they inform the Stooges and the other
orphans that their home will be shut down if
they cant come up with $830,000 in the next
month.
And so our intrepid (and naive) trio ven-
tures out into the big, wide world, a place
theyve never seen before, to try and raise the
money. Fish-out-of-water antics, some hurt
feelings and massive bodily injuries ensue.
(The Farrellys did this better back in 1996
with Randy Quaid as an innocent, Amish
bowling prodigy who goes on a cross-country
tour in Kingpin.)
They get mixed up with a femme fatale
(Soa Vergara) who hires them to kill her rich
husband so that she can run away with her
lover; naturally, this does not go nearly as
planned. (On a side note: It would be nice to
see Vergara play a character besides a saucy
temptress once in a while.)
Attempts at contemporizing the Stooges are
hit-and-miss the reality show they stumble
onto is just cringe-inducingly awkward but
theyre soitenly never mean. And thats
sayin somethin.
The Three Stooges, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated PG for slapstick action vio-
lence and some rude and suggestive humor
including language. Running time: 91 min-
utes. Two stars out of four.
STOOGES
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Resurrect Curly, Larry
and Moe? As any Three Stooges fan might say,
thats soitenly sacrilege.
Casting new actors as the knuckleheads who
specialize in slapping one another around and
braining themselves with hammers would be
like trying to redo the Marx brothers or Laurel
and Hardy, right?
Yet the idea has been with Peter and Bobby
Farrelly for 16 years, since not long after their
early success with Dumb and Dumber, and
they wrote their rst Stooges script after they
really hit it big with Theres Something About
Mary.
Stooges fans have scoffed at the idea and
even cursed the Farrellys for tinkering with
their slapstick idols, fearing the brothers would
give the Stooges an R-rated, gross-out
makeover in line with their hit comedies.
The thing is, the Farrellys never wanted to
tinker with the Stooges, whom theyve adored
all their lives. They wanted to bring them back
on screen as closely as possible to the nyuk-
nyukking Stooges of the classic shorts from the
1930s to 50s. The Farrellys PG-rated The
Three Stooges has the look, the voices, the
sound effects and the maniacally paced cartoon
violence that the lmmakers loved growing up.
There were a lot of people who were like,
The Farrellys are going to ruin it. The Stooges
are not the Farrellys. And we knew that, Peter
Farrelly said. This isnt Something About
Mary. This is the Stooges, and we didnt want
to thrust our sensibilities on the Stooges. We
wanted to adjust to their sensibilities.
Whats sacrilegious to us is that so many
kids today dont know the Stooges, and theyre
our favorite of all time. We love the Stooges, so
we made this movie because of our love for the
Three Stooges. We want to bring it back. We
want their legacy to last.
There was a time in the movies long gesta-
tion period that the casting alone could have
messed with the Stooges legacy. Distributor
20th Century Fox initially wanted big names,
and at one point, the movie reportedly was
moving ahead with Jim Carrey as Curly, Sean
Penn as Larry and Benicio Del Toro as Moe.
Farrelly said he and his brother even met with
such heavyweights as Mel Gibson and Russell
Crowe as potential Stooges, but the problem
with many superstars is that they wanted to do
interpretations of Curly, Larry and Moe rather
than re-create the characters as is.
After all, Olivier wouldnt want to copy
Gielguds Hamlet, so why would Carrey want
to do the same Curly everyone knows so well?
The Farrellys cut a deal. They waived their
usual salary in exchange for a cut of prots if
the movie sells well and the chance to cast
whichever actors were right for the parts,
known or unknown.
After auditioning over a thousand people,
these were the three guys who were by far the
best.
Sean Hayes (Larry) is the best-known, having
co-starred as the caustic Jack McFarland on
Will & Grace. Will Sasso (Curly) spent ve
seasons on the sketch comedy series MADtv.
Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe) was utterly
unknown to the Farrellys but is a Broadway vet-
eran of such shows as The Full Monty and
Les Miserables, played Frank Sinatra in the
TV miniseries The Kennedys and had recur-
ring roles in such shows as 24 and The
Starter Wife.
Pete and Bobby were really smart in that
they had people come in who wanted to do the
part, and they werent going to cast somebody
just because of their name, Hayes said. If
were going to do this, lets get the people
who can actually not patting ourselves on
the back but people who can and actually
want to try to ll the shoes of these three
guys.
Diamantopoulos seemed destined for the
Stooges, born just days after the death of Moe
Howard in 1975 (brother Curly died in 1952
and was replaced by brother Shemp, while
Larry Fine died a few months before Moe). As
a kid, Diamantopoulos was such a Stooges
fanatic that he memorized all three parts for 30
or 40 of the shorts to entertain his family, and he
showed up for the movie audition in a body suit
that gave him the stocky, short-necked look of
Moe.
Hes so knowledgeable he sounds like a
Stooges scholar. Aware of the fan worries about
new guys playing the Stooges, Diamantopoulos
cites an interview Moe Howard did in 1966 in
which he said it would be great to nd three
young guys, teach then the moves and the tim-
ing and have them keep it going. Thats an
endorsement from the grave, essentially, as far
as Im concerned, Diamantopoulos said.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
THE FASHION WORLD OF JEAN
PAUL GAULTIER. That woman winking at
you at the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the de
Young Museum? She may be dressed in his
over-the-top fashion, but she may not be real.
Heightening the visual drama of the 120
exhibits included in The Fashion World of
Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the
Catwalk are 30 mannequins that come
alive with interactive faces created by
audiovisual effects, surprising visitors with
their lifelike presence. A dozen celebrities,
including Gaultier himself, have lent their
faces projected onto the mannequins and
often their voices to this project.
The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier:
From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk is the rst
exhibition devoted to the celebrated and con-
troversial French designer and his personal
themes of equality, diversity and perversi-
ty. The installation includes creations from
35 years of the designers couture and ready-
to-wear collections, along with their acces-
sories and archival documents. The multime-
dia exhibit is organized in different thematic
sections, including The Boudoir, which
explores Gaultiers fascination with lingerie
and underpinnings, culminating in his cre-
ation of iconic corsets for Madonnas 1990
Blonde Ambition World Tour, and
Metropolis, a presentation of Gaultiers work
with pop icons Kylie Minogue and Tina
Turner.
Jill DAlessandro, Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco curator of costume and textile
arts, said, Gaultier catapulted on to the fash-
ion scene with his unconventional approach
that drew inspiration from television, lm,
music and street culture. For the last four
decades he has remained a catalyst for our
times. This dynamic exhibition is a truly
multi-media extravaganza complete with
animated mannequins, runway clips and
video excerpts from his extensive lm and
music collaborations and succeeds in captur-
ing the raw, sometimes chaotic energy that
defines our contemporary lives and
Gaultiers world.
Films celebrating Gaultiers career are
scheduled on select Friday Nights through
Aug. 17. Free tickets available at 5:30 p.m. at
the de Youngs Koret auditorium. Doors open
at 6 p.m. Shows at 6:30 p.m. No reservations

grams contain adult themes. For more infor-

County.
The idea is just to present what they
can offer the community and weve dab-
bled in a lot of different areas,
Lazzarotti said. The goal is to give
them some bigger picture things and a
lot of local things in San Carlos togeth-
er.
The city took its cue from other cities,
many in Southern California, who estab-
lished similar volunteer expos. Mayor
Andy Kleins announcement during his
State of the City address of a citywide
volunteer day was another contributing
factor.
Klein, who called the day his mayoral
pet project, said it pays homage to the
citys history of sweat and hard work
contributing to its greatness while not
requiring any nancial commitment by
the city.
So I thought having the citizens pitch
in to help make our city look a little
nicer would be a great idea. I also g-
ured if we did it all in one day we could
get a lot of people who normally dont
volunteer to pitch in, Klein said.
The expo is one way to help make that
happen.
So many people in San Carlos want
to volunteer but are not sure where best
to apply. This is a great opportunity to
see where they could go, Lazzarotti
said.
The opportunity goes for the organiza-
tions, too.
The Responsible Dog Owners of San
Carlos are working on an off-leash pilot
program at Burton Park and the grass-
roots group said it needs volunteers to
raise money, hand out iers and patrol
elds in a liaison capacity with those
enjoying the parks. With no city funds
for an actual dog park, Sheila OFayhe
of the group said volunteers are key to
making the program at city parks work
and the volunteer expo is an excellent
way to let residents know the organiza-
tion exists.
We have a core group of four or ve
volunteers but really want some more,
OFayhe said.
The group is also working with San
Carlos Together which also helps coor-
dinate volunteers and city events.
Even well-established organizations,
like Week of the Family, benet from the
exposure.
As with any volunteer group, you
always need new blood, said Don
Eaton, a former mayor involved with the
annual week of family-centric activities.
Some of the expo booths will provide
more general information than specic
openings. The Peninsula Humane
Society, for example, will send outreach
volunteers with a goal of general aware-
ness rather than recruitment although
some of that information will also be
available, said spokesman Scott
Delucchi.
Others, like the county Human
Services Agency, have some needs in
mind namely foster or adoptive par-
ents and volunteers for the next home-
less census in January 2013.
We have an ongoing need for foster
parents who are interested in caring for
sibling sets and older children. Many
families are thinking about sending their
kids off to college right now and this
may be a great time to start think about
bringing home a foster child, said
spokeswoman Amanda Kim.
HSA also needs 300 people to help
them tally homeless individuals and
families throughout the county, which is
necessary for federal funding.
Although the expo is in San Carlos,
anybody is welcome to attend,
Lazzarotti said.
Those who cant attend Saturdays
gathering arent left out, either. The city
established a presence on VolunteerSpot
dedicated to activities, particularly those
on the citywide volunteer day. Visitors
can view a wide range of options
community cleanups, garbage can paint-
ing, weeding, tree planting, picnic table
restoration, just to name a few.
Volunteers can also sign up online.
One event specic to April 28 is the
Kiwanis Club-sponsored Child Safety
Day at Central Middle School which
will include car seat inspections, bicycle
safety training and free child ID kits.
The club expects to benet hundreds of
children 12 and under, said President
Rosie Jimenez.

participants visit

EXPO
dition reaching back to 1940. Locals will
dance, sing and perform in the name of
community beginning Sunday, April 15.
But its more than a performance. The
event, which takes about a year to plan,
brings together community members
and creates lasting friendships.
This year, the show, which isnt open
to those under 16, explores eight
madams of the Barbary Coast.
Chickens Ball Chair Sonya Sigler
laughed as she described the women as
famous or, probably more accurately,
infamous.
The original Chickens Ball dates
back before 1900 on San Franciscos
Barbary Coast. Women of ill repute
staged the annual competitions which
boasted pokes or bags of gold
for the winning acts. The gold was
donated to local charities.
In 1939, Central school which was
the only school in San Carlos at the time
needed to raise milk money for the
students. The idea for a Chickens Ball
came from teacher and PTA board mem-
ber Howard J. Demeke with proceeds to
go into a school milk fund. The show
debuted for one night only to a sold-out
crowd in 1940.
Today, local clubs, individuals and
parent teacher groups revisit the time
period of 1890 to 1918 for the biennial
show held at Central Middle School with
proceeds beneting local schools.
For the last 10 years, the show has
raised between $35,000 to $50,000
annually which is then split between the
seven San Carlos schools.
The show consists of six skits and
local judges which are changed nightly.
Many people become involved because
of a link to a school but stay involved for
years to come.
Work begins long before the curtain
rises.
Sigler, for example, was researching
the madams highlighted in the show last
summer. A lesson in history, she said.
But the Chickens Ball is more than a
performance. Its a tradition for the com-
munity which this year includes second
generations taking over positions and
also performing with their parents, said
Sigler. Its through these longtime par-
ticipants that the oral history of the show
is kept alive.
Shows are 2 p.m. Sunday, April 15,
Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22,
8 p.m. Friday, April 20 and Friday, April
21 and Thursday, April 26 through
Saturday, April 28 at Central Middle
School Mustang Hall, 828 Chestnut St.
in San Carlos. Tickets range from $15 to
$35. Tickets are available online at
www.chickensball.org.

BALL
Connections is serving the children of
the adult schools students. After years
of continuing to cover that cost, it was
recently cut, explained Family
Connections Executive Director Renee
Zimmerman.
Despite the financial challenges,
Family Connections leaders are working
hard to maintain fundraising and even
expand services noting demand will rise
should proposed state cuts go through.
Those challenges are not at all appar-
ent in the little house neighboring
Everest Public High School that houses
the Redwood City location. Fifty to 60
children are enrolled at each location
since the little ones come at different
times. Instead of stressing about possible
cuts, children played, music gleefully
lled the back room and parents were
throughout the house. One parent was
helping with children while another
made snacks. A third was working with
a volunteer from another local nonprot
to help evaluate his childs development.
To be successful, Zimmerman
explained Family Connections works
with a variety of local organizations to
support families. There are iers for
food services, opportunities for emotion-
al support and classes and early inter-
vention for children. Recognizing a
childs needs allows him or her get
access to help and be prepared for
kindergarten, said Zimmerman.
San Mateo County has a high percent-
age of children enrolled in preschool
programs. Sixty-one percent of 3- and 4-
year-olds are enrolled, according to the
San Mateo County 2011 Annual Report
to the Community. However, the offer-
ings only meet 78 percent of the need.
Working with families is about creat-
ing a habit of being involved but also
boosting a parents confidence,
explained Family Connections board
President Amy Sahn. Sahn similarly had
her children in a co-op preschool pro-
gram, which she said gave her many
tools to become a successfully involved
parent as her children got older. Family
Connections strives to offer that for
everyone, she said.
Its for that reason that the nonprot
has been looking at expanding. The pro-
gram is successful and can be easily
replicated, said Sahn, but it comes down
to dollars. Annually, the organization
raises about $500,000. Parents are asked
to get involved with the fundraising
efforts. Zimmerman pointed to a possi-
ble partnership in Central San Mateo as
being the next logical location. The chal-
lenge, as always, is affording it.

astrayuse your common sense.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Either you cant take direc-

much effort. However, it isnt one of those times. If
you want something, you need to work for it.

restrictive conditions be imposed upon you from the
outside. If you maintain your composure, theres a good
chance youll be able to circumvent any obstacles.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Negative thinking
always severely reduces our potential for success,
so dont indulge in it. Instead of flling your head
with reasons why something cant be done, try the
opposite approach.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Someone who
always asks more of others then he or she ever does
in return may hit you up. If you comply, dont expect
any recompense.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your potential for
achieving success is fairly good, but, unfortunately,
poor execution will make things diffcult and most
likely hinder your efforts. Try not to let that happen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Although your
imagination is quite keen, you are likely to use it in
counterproductive ways. Avoid the tendency to act
out of spite.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)When contemplating
an investment in an area about which you know
little, be sure to take plenty of time to investigate and
evaluate its worth frst. If you dont, you could easily
take a bath.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Mitchell Dean Confer
Case Number 122207
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Mitchell Dean Confer.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Sally Confer in the Superior Court of Cal-
ifornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion of Probate requests that Sally Confer
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 11, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
203 Public Notices
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
