San Mateo County will save more
than $1.5 million and spare 23
workers at its long-term care facili-
ty from receiving pink slips next
summer by letting the employees
retire early.
The workers will receive an extra
year of credit in calculating their
pension benets which, in the past,
has resulted in a roughly 3.5 percent
increase.
The Board of Supervisors must
still sign off of the recommendation
at its Tuesday morning meeting.
The employees are in different
classifications clinical nurse,
community worker II, creative arts
therapist, clinical services manager
I, custodian, licensed vocational
nurse, medical services assistant II,
patient services specialist, pharma-
cist, public services specialist,
social work supervisor, supervising
pharmacist and therapy aide.
Approximately 200 positions will
be eliminated by the closure of
Burlingame Long-Term Care after
its lease expires in June 2013. The
workforce represents the bulk of the
234 county jobs on the chopping
block in the
2012-2013 rec-
o m m e n d e d
budget.
C o u n t y
Manager John
Maltbie said the
early retirements
cost $580,025.
Assuming the
e m p l o y e e s
would have worked another year
without the incentive, Maltbie con-
cluded the county would save
approximately $1,675,779 in salary
and benets costs.
The early retirement offers are
part of the countys effort to mini-
mize layoffs and transition the staff
and clients out of the Burlingame-

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Although concerns about plans to
move San Bruno sixth graders to
Parkside Middle School in the fall
have been raised, the district board
decided Thursday to move forward
with the plan.
Renovations at the school were
recently unveiled as part of a larger
vision approved by the San Bruno
Park Elementary Board of Trustees
in December 2009 in which San
Bruno students will attend elemen-
tary school through fth grade and
start at Parkside Intermediate in
sixth grade. Around the time of the
ribbon cutting in May, concerns
were raised regarding the school
calendar, lack of staff support and a
number of positions that have yet to
be lled. Two of the three concerns
calendar and extra support
were taken care of prior to the
Thursday meeting, according to a
staff report by Superintendent David
Hutt.
On Thursday, the board supported

Sally Stewart, who previously
served on the Sequoia Union High
School District board, is part of a
group working to start a new charter
school in the same district.
Stewart, who decided not to run
for re-election in 2009, believes
there are students within Sequoia
Union whose needs could be better
met with an alternative option. She
was introduced to the Big Picture
Learning program while still serv-
ing on the board. Since leaving, she
worked with the intent of starting a
program within the district which
has been done before. Since that
didnt work, Stewart and others are
working to start a small charter high
school that could open in the fall of
2013. Thus far, an application has
not been submitted, Stewart and
Superintendent James Lianides con-
rmed. The groups current focus is
to gain support from individuals and
to raise money.
Stewart noted not all students are
stimulated and engaged by the pro-

Gang activity is on an uptick in
San Mateo and with competition for
turf, the gangs are using grafti
more and more to mark their territo-
ries as a warning to rivals.
But it is not just gang members
blighting the city, that job also
belongs to crews of young taggers
who seek fame with each other
by tagging up practically everything
in sight with paint or magic mark-
ers.
It is not only a problem in San
Mateo either, gang grafti and tag-
gers mark up freeway overpasses,
stop signs, utility poles and private
property all over the county, said
police Sgt. Todd Mefford.
His Neighborhood Response
Team has made a dozen arrests in
recent months and has worked with
the cities of Burlingame and
Belmont on removing grafti, espe-
cially along the highway.
Recently, police Chief Susan
Manheimer reported to the City
Council that crime overall is down
in San Mateo but that grafti and
blight are up.
The city has made abatement a
priority but covering up the grafti

Laughs: A part of the game
for Feud host Dawson
NEW YORK Richard Dawson
brought a saucy, unabashedly touchy-
feely style to TV game shows as host of
Family Feud.
The British-born entertainer, who died
Saturday at age 79 from complications
related to esophageal cancer, earlier had
made his mark in the unlikely 1960s sit-
com hit Hogans Heroes, which mined
laughs from a Nazi POW camp whose
prisoners hoodwink their captors and
run the place themselves.
But it is as the kissing, wisecracking
quizmaster of Feud that he will be
remembered.
The show, which initially ran from
1976 to 1985, pitted a pair of families
against each other as they tried to guess
the most popular answers to poll ques-
tions such as What do people give up
when they go on a diet?
Dawson made his hearty, soaring pro-
nouncement of the phrase Survey
says... a national catchphrase among
the shows fans.
He won a daytime Emmy Award in
1978 as best game show host. Tom
Shales of The Washington Post called
him the fastest, brightest and most
beguilingly caustic interlocutor since the
late great Groucho bantered and parried
on You Be Your Life. The show was
so popular it was released as both day-
time and syndicated evening versions.
And it was quickly
validated by
Saturday Night
Live, with Bill
Murray in a satirical
homage to Dawson
as a leering, nasty
figure who even
slapped one contest-
ant (John Belushi)
for getting too fresh.
Not that everyone
approved.
In his classic 1981 cultural analysis
Within the Context of No Context,
George W.S. Trow identied the impor-
tant moment in the history of television
as the moment when Dawson asked his
contestants to guess what a poll of 100
people had guessed would be the height
of the average American woman.
Guess what theyve guessed, sniffed
Trow, harping on the meaninglessness of
such an enterprise. Guess what theyve
guessed the AVERAGE is.
Obviously, Feud fans would have
feuded with Trows dismissive attitude.
For one thing, Dawson played the
show, and his duties presiding over it,
for laughs.
On one episode, he posed this ques-
tion to a contestant: During what month
of pregnancy does a woman begin to
look pregnant?
She blurted out September, then, too
late, realized this was a ridiculous
response.
All the better for Dawson, who could-
nt stop laughing or milking the
moment for continued laughs from the
audience.
His swaggering, randy manner (and
working-blokes British accent) set him
apart from other TV quizmasters, who,
more often than not, tempered any bois-
terous inclinations with deant smooth-
ness. Not Dawson, who was overtly
physical, prone to invading his contest-
ants personal space and especially
the women, each of whom he kissed
without exception.
At the time the show bowed out in
1985, executive producer Howard
Felsher estimated that Dawson had
kissed somewhere in the vicinity of
20,000.
I kissed them for luck and love, thats
all, Dawson said at the time.
One of them he kissed was Gretchen
Johnson, an attractive young contestant
who came on with members of her fam-
ily in 1981. She and Dawson began dat-
ing, and, after a decade together, they
wed in 1991. (Dawson is survived by
Gretchen and their daughter Shannon, as
well as two sons, Mark and Gary, from
his rst marriage, and four grandchil-
dren.)
Producers revived the show as The
New Family Feud, starring comedian
Ray Combs, in 1988. Six years later,
Dawson replaced Combs at the helm,
but that lasted only one season. Steve
Harvey is the current host.

S
an Francisco in the 1850s absorbed
too many people in too short a period.
The 49er Gold Rush changed
Californias shape and position in the world
overnight.
The establishment of rules and regulations
and the setup of a town for all these people
took a lot of time, however. Water was scarce,
sewer systems were nonexistent and streets
were undeveloped. In summer, the lack of rain
produced enormous clouds of dust when the
wind blew and in the winter the rains made
most streets impassable. Mud was everywhere
and there were few sidewalks except in the
business district. Modes of transportation con-
sisted of walking, riding a horse and taking a
stage although all three modes were great-
ly restricted to the eastern part of the city. The
western hills became a great barrier to trafc
and housing until a man named Andrew
Hallidie came to town.
Andrew Hallidie was born in London on
March 16, 1836, the son of Andrew and Julia
Smith. His father was an engineer and inven-
tor and developed a fascination for wire
rope. In 1835, he patented an invention and it
became widely used in the mining districts of
England. When Andrew became baptized, he
honored his uncle, Sir Andrew Hallidie, a
physician to King William the IV and later to
Queen Elizabeth and his name was recorded
as Andrew Smith Hallidie.
Andrew became interested in his dads work
and became highly procient and knowledge-
able in the use of wire rope and, when his
father went to California in 1852 to perform
some work in his mines, Andrew went with
him. When his father returned to England,
Andrew remained in the mine country and
prospected for gold. In addition, he became a
consultant to the miners in the use of wire sus-
pended-umes to carry water and use of the
wire in ore haulage.
In 1857, Andrew went to San Francisco and
began a plant that manufactured wire cable.

Spending 45 years with one district means
Joanne Day has seen many changes since
starting her education career locally.
Day, 72, will retire from her post as
Baywood Elementary Schools principal at
the end of this month. For the first time, shes
not counting down the days to summer. The
thought brings up emotions for Day who has
spent 45 years working in the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District.
Shes been the leader of the San Mateo
school for the last 14 of those years. At her
school are teachers she once taught, those
who have only worked under her leadership
and parents who remember having her as a
teacher. Her office has pieces from each of
those career moments. Soon the school
which houses the hundreds of students Day
calls her own will be one she stops in at
rather than visits daily.
While the change is sad, there is one thing
to which Day is looking forward.
I plan to be spontaneous, Day said,
adding being in education for so many years
means working around the school calendar.
Day will be sticking to the districts calen-
dar for a little bit longer. Shes agreed to stay
on in a contract position for the start of the
next school year to cover for a principal on
maternity leave. But soon shell be able to
take a trip to New York with very short
notice.
Day always wanted to be in education.
Growing up in the South, Day would teach
her little sister during play time. She had a
little blackboard on which she would share
lessons. Day laughed and explained teaching
really is in her genes. She was an education
major at Florida State then started her 50-
year career in education as an intern teacher
in Florida, then taught one year in Atlanta
before teaching in Miami for three years. In
1966, she came to California and began
teaching in the district.
Around the same time was when the dis-
trict started to voluntarily desegregate. Day
vividly remembered waiting at the Laurel
School for buses with children to show up
when the desegregation went into effect. For
a Southern girl, seeing everyone together was
an amazing, life-changing sight.
Its one of the most meaningful experi-
ences of my life, she said.
After teaching at Laurel, Day taught fourth
and fifth grade at Baywood for seven years.
In her time with the district shes helped
bring cutting-edge language arts training and
curriculum for writing into the classroom.
Shes work as an assistant principal then as
principal at Parkside Elementary in San
Mateo for 10 years before returning to
Baywood.
Being principal at Baywood so much to
Day.
Its my identity. This is my extended fam-
ily, she said, adding shes been through
weddings, babies, graduations, break ups,
everything with those she works with.
Among the weddings theyve gone through
together was her own. Day married Michael
Day nearly 25 years ago in Vienna after
being together seven years.
Its been the best years of my life, Day
said of her career in education. Im so lucky
to have a husband who has allowed me to
have this be such a big part of my life.

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

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)

in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

SACRAMENTO California
voters will face a newly reshaped
ballot with many more choices on
Tuesday as they cast votes in the
rst statewide election to implement
two major voter-approved political
reforms and as candidates compete
in districts meant to be more com-
petitive.
A new top-two primary system
and redrawn legislative and con-
gressional districts are intended to
blunt the heavy-handed inuence of
the two major political parties and
produce more moderate candidates.
Tuesdays election will test those
assumptions.
For the rst time, the boundaries
for legislative and congressional
districts were drawn by an inde-
pendent panel of citizens, and only
the top two vote-getters will
advance, regardless of political
party. That is likely to create several
competitive and expensive contests
in November, including some in
which members of the same party
will square off or face independents.
Allan Hoffenblum, publisher of
the California Target Book, which
analyzes races, said he does not
expect the new system to dramati-
cally alter the makeup of
Californias congressional delega-
tion and Legislature.
But maybe it will change the
type of Democrats and type of
Republicans who get elected, when
candidates of the same party are
forced to compete with one another,
he said.
He forecasts as many as 34 con-
gressional and legislative contests
featuring candidates from the same
party in November.
Were going to have a plethora
of same-party runoffs ... Most of
them will be Democrats, because
there are just so many more
Democrats than Republicans in this
state, Hoffenblum said.
Democrats continue to have the
largest share of Californias 17.1
million registered voters, with 43
percent, while Republican registra-
tion has slipped to 30 percent,
according to state registration g-
ures released Friday. But the fastest-
growing segment of the electorate is
made of voters who are not afliat-
ed with any political party now
more than 21 percent.
Nine of the 53 congressional dis-
tricts have no incumbent on the bal-
lot, and the open seats have lured
dozens of contenders, including a
high-stakes contest in Northern
Californias 2nd Congressional
District now held by departing
Republican Rep. Wally Herger.
Democrats hope to pick up as
many as six seats in California and
have been working to register more
voters, particularly in fast-growing
areas of the Central Valley and
Inland Empire.
Republicans lost their challenges
to the newly redrawn state Senate
districts, where Democrats are like-
ly to win a supermajority. They are
unlikely to cross that threshold in
the Assembly, meaning they still
will be unable to pass tax or fee
increases without GOP votes.
Still, there are 35 Assembly seats
with no incumbent, while
Republican Assemblymen Tim
Donnelly in San Bernardino
County and Allan Mansoor in
Orange County are among incum-
bents facing same-party chal-
lengers.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
Commuters on both sides of San
Francisco Bay will have another
option to get across the bay when a
new ferry route begins running
Monday.
When the new service between
South San Francisco, Oakland and
Alameda launches it will be the rst
ferry run introduced since the
Alameda Harbor Bay to San
Francisco line opened in March
1992, ofcials said.
Passengers will ride for free the
rst week as part of plan to create
interest in the new route, according
to officials with the Water
Emergency Transportation
Authority, the agency that operates
all but the Golden Gate ferry routes
across San Francisco Bay.
After the first week, one-way
fares for the 40-minute trip will be
$7.
The agency spent $25.3 million to
build the new South San Francisco
terminal and about $30,000 for
upgrades at its East Bay facilities.
The agency also paid another $16
million for the two new 149-passen-
ger boats, which are equipped with
wireless internet and space for 30
bikes, according to the newspaper.
Preparations for the new ferry
service were expected to be nished
about two years ago, but authority
Executive Director Nina Rannells
said the service couldnt launch
until funding and approval issues
were nalized.
That all took time, Rannells
said. Building on the Bay is a very
complicated process.
The rst day of service is looking
more promising than had been
expected, according to Rannells.
We were hoping for 50 people
and we have had over 300 RSVPs,
Rannells said. People down there
are excited.

passing car started shooting at a
group of people at a barbecue at Crest
Ranch Park around 8:15 p.m., Vallejo
police Lt. Lee Horton said Sunday.
The man died after being taken to

ed victims include a 67-year-old
woman, who is hospitalized in sta-
ble condition, a 17-year-old boy in
critical condition and a 35-year-old
man, who was shot in the arm. His
condition was not known.
The names of the victims have not
been released.
Investigators have not determined
what prompted the shooting, or said
how many shots were red or what
type of weapon was used.
The park where the shooting took
place is generally peaceful, Horton
said.
We normally dont have any
problems at that park, Horton said.
Police havent released much
information about the suspect
except to say they are looking for a
man in a dark-colored sedan.

William Leahy, Cohoes, NY, passed away suddenly on Friday,
May 25, 2012at his homeintheCity of SanMateowherehehad
resided since 1955. Ed graduated from Vincentian Institute
High School in Albany, NY in 1943. Upon graduation he joined
the U.S. Navy under the V-5(Naval Aviation Cadet)/V-12 (Navy
College Training) programs attending school in Virginia at
Emory & Henry College, the University of Richmond and the
U.S. Navy Midshipman School at the University of Notre Dame
earning his commission as Ensign. During World War II he
served on the USS Sepulga and the amphibious transport USS Henrico achieving the rank of
Lieutenant Commander over his active naval career.
Subsequent to his military service Ed returned to New York where he graduated from
Siena College. On June 14, 1948 he married Stella McKay of Salem, Ore at St. Marys
church in Cohoes with his sister Helen and her husband Edward F. Ted Morris (both of
whom preceded him in death in April 2007) serving as maid of honor and best man.
In the early 1950s the couple moved to California where Ed joined the U.S. Naval
Radiological Defense Laboratory in San Francisco. At NRDL, Ed became the head of
the Fleet Support Branch of the Military Evaluations Division where he directed staff in
operations research analysis, nuclear physics and mathematics with the chief emphasis
on the analysis of operations and systems in support of eet operations. Over his career
at NRDL Ed participated in numerous nuclear weapons eld tests in the Pacic, was a
member of the Navys Radiological Control Team winning Superior Accomplishment
awards and authoring a number of technical publications.
Upon the closure of NRDL in 1969, Ed went to work for the U.S. Army Engineer
Waterways Experiment Station Explosive Excavation Research Laboratory at the
Lawrence Livermore Laboratory where he participated in various programs including
those at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station at Fort Polk, Louisiana,
Dredged Sediment Movement Tracing in San Francisco Bay and the Nevada Test Site
with the mission to make contributions in excavation research with explosives for
both military and civil works construction.
Having devoted his professional career to the study of nuclear physics, he continued
his career with the University of California, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory where he
became Group Leader within the Health Physics Group until his retirement in 1990.
At home Ed and Stella raised ve children, Constance, Edward, Scott, Cynthia, and

Carlos, CA. 94070.
Obituary
The plant, A.S. Hallidie and Company, was
successful and he designed suspension sys-
tems for bridges and numerous systems for
hauling ore out of mines and over hilly terrain.
During this time, the use of horses propelled
the few trolleys attempting to provide trans-
portation in the lower part of San Francisco.
The horses, he observed, were poorly suited
for the steep hills and many were killed while
working the hills. Another problem arose
using horses. A horse produces 10 pounds of
manure per day, every day of their life. This
manure was everywhere and became a health
concern. What to do with the thousands of
pounds of manure produced in one day?
In 1869, according to the story told by
Andrew, he observed a trolley being pulled up
one of the many hills to the west of downtown.
It was rainy and the horses struggled to move
the trolley. Suddenly, the trolley and horse
began sliding down the hill the brakes had
failed and the cable car began pulling the hors-
es down the slippery hill. When the trolley
reached the bottom of the hill, the horses were
badly injured. Hallidie swore to himself he
was going to make a better system to haul the
trolleys up hills without use of a horse.
Hallidie began working out plans for a new
type of trolley, one that did not use horses but
a cable of wire instead. In 1872, Hallidie
obtained a franchise from the city to run a trol-
ley up California Street. After financing
proved difcult, he decided to build the cable-
car trolley up Clay Street as many of his
investors lived on that street. In 1872, Hallidie
began the practical work needed to actually
build a cable system. The cable car was to
begin at Kearny Street and run to the summit
at Jones Street. It would climb up the east side
of Nob Hill, climbing a total of 305 feet. The
powerhouse would be west of Jones Street at
Leavenworth Street. An endless wire cable
would run underground in a conduit with a
narrow slot just wide enough for the grip to
enter. Stretching of the cable was a problem to
be worked out. All of this had to be worked out
and be working by the opening date of Aug. 1,
1873. It was a day and night of constantly
solving problems for Hallidie because he had
to supervise and OK everything that was done.
The night before the public demonstration,
Hallidie and workers were at Clay Street at 5
a.m. on a foggy morning. Andrew wanted to
do another run and check out the equipment
before the 3 p.m. demonstration. Everything
seemed OK. The crowd of businessmen, pub-
lic ofcials and citizens formed in the after-
noon and Hallidie rode the cable car down
from the barn, all the time praying that their
brakes held. The crowd swarmed the trolley
and after a 20-minute pause as some equip-
ment was disturbed by the exuberant crowd
had to be checked, the crowd poured onto the
trolley. Hallidie had intended that only three
people would ride up the hill in the car but the
crowd prevented exit of the 60 people who
were not going to be left behind. The trip up
the hill proved successful.
After some additional work to improve safe-
ty and efciency of the cable car, Hallidies
Clay Street Railroad open regular service in
September 1873. It was an immediate success.

WASHINGTON In 2008,
Barack Obama took aim at the
pew gap, the overwhelming
Republican edge among voters who
regularly attend church.
The Democratic presidential
nominee came nowhere near clos-
ing it, but he didnt have to. He just
needed an extra percentage point or
two among traditional GOP con-
stituents, and he got it.
The Democratic National
Committee is promising a repeat
performance in 2012. But some
religious leaders and scholars who
backed Obama in 2008 are skepti-
cal. They say the Democrats have,
through neglect and lack of focus,
squandered the substantial gains
they made with
religious moder-
ates and worry it
will hurt Obama
in a tight race
a g a i n s t
Republican Mitt
Romney.
The DNCs
faith outreach
director, the
Rev. Derrick Harkins, said the
party has strong relationships with
religious groups. But as evidence
of their concerns, critics point to
the public debate that followed
Obamas endorsement of gay mar-
riage, a decision the president said
was based in part on his Christian
faith.
No prominent clergyperson was
sent out as a surrogate by the
administration to explain the reli-
gious argument in favor of same-
sex relationships. Instead, the main
religious voices connected to
Obama in the public sphere were
the ministers who serve as his per-
sonal spiritual advisers and gener-
ally oppose gay marriage. Those
ministers who were willing to com-
ment many werent said they
were struggling with Obamas
decision.
I think there is a viable religious
left who can be persuaded by a
carefully articulated religious argu-
ment, but no one is making it, said
Valerie Cooper, a religious studies
professor at the University of
Virginia and Obama supporter.
Im concerned that the administra-
tion has not followed through on
the promise of 2008.

before Egyptian police stormed the

Egyptian employees resigned from
one of the American groups to
protest what they called undemocra-

They complained that the U.S.
group, described as nonpartisan, had
excluded the countrys most popular
Islamist political organization from
its programs, collected sensitive reli-
gious information about Egyptians
when conducting polls to send to
Washington, and ordered employees
to erase all computer les and turn
over all records for shipment abroad

helps in the community. But she wouldnt call any of it an
accomplishment. The 18-year-old Menlo-Atherton High
School senior is too busy looking for something new to do.
Eisa is a spectacular young woman who has been involved
in tech and the arts since before she came to high school, said
college advisor Alice Kleeman. She can run the lights and
sound for our beautiful new Performing Arts Center, has been
a professional DJ around the Bay Area, plays the piano beauti-
fully, and has many talents, both musical and other. She has
met challenges head on, and is respected and loved by M-A
students and staff.
Evans caught the travel bug early. When together, her parents
would take Evans on two trips per year. She loved new places,
new cultures, everything she hadnt experienced before. That
desire has only grown over years of attending summer camp
and becoming a counselor. The activity has introduced Evans
to people who have become a second family. But shes also
been introduced to new people from different places now on
her travel to-do list.
Being outdoors has been another interest of Evans for many
years. She played a variety of sports including badminton on
the schools team for three years. Evans is also an avid cyclist
and hiker, passions she shares with her father.
Her musical interests were introduced by her mother. Evans
mother had always wanted to have a baby grand piano in her
home and, of course, know how to play it. She began taking
lessons. Soon, Evans was also learning to play the keys. Evans
joined the orchestra once offered in elementary school then, in
middle school, switched to jazz band. Jazz band was an inter-
est she kept while at M-A after all, the band normally trav-
els once a year to compete. Playing instruments was an intro-
duction to music. While visiting family in England, Evans was
introduced to a family interest, being a DJ. She took to it and
now does three to four events a month. One event she was par-
ticularly proud of was providing the music for the senior fash-
ion show. Shes taken her love of sound another step by help-
ing with the audio direction with the performing arts center.
Working with others has also been a passion. At 10, she
began volunteering. It started with a family effort of raising
seeing eye dogs. Its since evolved to include working at sum-
mer camps and working with Assisteens out of Los Altos,
which volunteers in various ways in the community. At school,
shes helped as a freshmen mentor, giving students a person to
talk to about anything. Offering support is important to Evans
given her own background.
All of these activities come into play when Evans decided to
attend the University of Oregon in the fall. She isnt quite sure
what shell study there are a number of possibilities like cul-
tural studies or human physiology. Evans does love the slower
pace of life. Ultimately, regardless of what she does, Evans
wants to explore and spend lots of time outside.

CAIRO Former President Hosni
Mubarak has received a life sentence for
failing to stop the killing of protesters
during Egypts uprising. But he and his
sons have been cleared of corruption
charges, setting off protests for greater
accountability for 30 years of abuses
under the old regime.
By nightfall on Saturday, a large
crowd of up to 10,000 was back in
Cairos Tahrir Square, the birthplace of
the uprising, to vent anger over the
acquittals. Similar protests went on in
the Mediterranean port city of
Alexandria and Suez
on the Red Sea.
Justice was not
served, said
Ramadan Ahmed,
whose son was
killed on Jan. 28, the
bloodiest day of last
years uprising.
This is a sham, he
said outside the
courthouse.
Protesters chanted: A farce, a farce,
this trial is a farce and The people
want execution of the murderer.
The case against Mubarak, his sons,
and top aides was very limited in scope,
focusing only on the uprisings rst few
days and two narrow corruption cases. It
was never going to provide a full
accountability of wrongdoing under
Mubaraks three decades of authoritari-
an rule enforced by a brutal police force
and a coterie of businessmen linked to
the regime who amassed wealth while
nearly half of Egypts estimated 85 mil-
lion people lived in poverty.
Mubarak, 84, and his ex-security
chief Habib el-Adly were both convict-
ed of complicity in the killings of some
900 protesters and received life sen-
tences.

A
merica has tried everything to
improve its educational sys-
tem, and has failed.
Everything.
Except what works best.
We have thrown money at the prob-
lem, to no avail. Our education spend-
ing is among the highest in the world,
but test scores still lag behind other
industrialized nations. Says the
University of Southern California: The
U.S. is the clear leader in total annual
spending, but ranks ninth in science
performance and 10th in math.
Weve also tried leveling the full
weight and strength of the leviathan
United States bureaucracy against the
problem: The No Child Left Behind
Act this nations most sweeping
education reform in several generations
has been an unprecedented reach of
the federal government down into local
schools. Yet, again, to little or no gain.
And perhaps, even, to our detriment:
Arne Duncan, President Barack
Obamas secretary of education, can-
didly noted that No Child Left Behind
inadvertently encourages states to
lower learning standards, in order to
be in compliance.
True school choice would allow par-
ents to shop for the best schools. That
would put instant pressure on school
ofcials to perform at a higher level. At
the same time, most schools could, and
should, be empowered to toss non-per-
forming, non-complying, disruptive stu-
dents out on their stumps. There can
always be alternative schools for them.
That would empower schools to set and
enforce strict guidelines for entry
putting instant pressure on parents and
students to perform at a higher level.
In addition, we believe as presi-
dential candidate Mitt Romney said
recently that school choice is actual-
ly the civil rights issue of our time.

Pericles, where

W
e arrived in Athens on Sunday May 5, the day
of the first election (inconclusive). Those who
bothered to vote rejected the leadership of the
two major parties but didnt give any other party sufficient
votes to form a government. Some say people voted with
their hearts. They need to vote with their heads on June 17.
In the meantime, there are concerns that Greece may be
ousted from the European Union if it cannot pay its debts.
Most of the Greeks we talked to hotel staff, waiters and
salespeople blamed the bad situation on the politicians and
on German austerity mandates. There is no love for
Germany here since the Nazis occupied the country in
World War II. Only a few said it was our fault because we
didnt care enough.
There were few signs of
an election the day we
arrived. No campaign signs
(discouraged), no visible
voting places (people voted
in schools) and no street
protests. Some museums
were shut. That was about
it.
***
Here in this land of one
of the greatest civilizations
of all time host to
Aristotle, Plato, Socrates
and Pericles, to name a few
and producers of some
of the greatest theater, art and architecture (examples
aplenty in Athens and Istanbul and in Londons British
Museum), it is hard to believe it has come to this. The
Greeks are worried about their future, fearful that tourists
(major industry) will not come because of bad publicity.
Tourists were plentiful on our trip but it was early in the
season. Its the summer, when business is at its peak, thats
the concern. Travelers would be foolish to forsake this
lovely land of sunny skies, blue seas, ancient ruins and the
white-washed buildings of Santorini and Mykonos (just
like the travel posters). But worries about the euro and
political unrest may keep some away.
***
If the Odyssey and Iliad didnt thrill you in high school,
then you need to stand before Agamemnons Tomb in
Mycenae. It was on this land that Clytemnestra sought
revenge and killed her husband. Agamemnon had sacrificed
their daughter Iphigenia to bring back the winds so he,
Odysseus and the Aegean troops could sail to Troy and
bring back Helen. And if you needed any proof how impor-
tant the winds were to those ancient sailors real or myth
then experience a roller-coaster ride on the Aegean Sea
on a rubber zodiac to make your way to shore.
***
The seeds of democratic government and citizen partici-
pation were sown in Athens between 460 and 430 BC. The
goal was to achieve justice and equality among the polis
and to encourage people to take an active role in govern-
ment. Forty times a year, on a regular basis, the Assembly
met on a hillside overlooking the Acropolis where 5,000
people would gather to hear and take part in debate. On
one of these occasions Pericles delivered these famous
words: We do not say that a man who takes no interest in
politics is a man who minds his own business. We say he
has no business here at all. Today, democracy is not work-
ing in the land which invented it. Pericles, where art thou?
***
Its a different story in Turkey. Here everything seems to
be booming. The Turks will tell you they are the new
China. They dont need the euro or the European Union to
succeed. They are building and expanding on their own.
Istanbul is a city on the move. An underwater tunnel for
rail will connect the two parts of the city the European
and the Asian which are separated by the Bosphorus. And
the plan includes the largest underwater museum in the
world.
Its strategic locations has always made Turkey an inter-
national prize. On the way from Greece, we sailed through
the Dardanelles past Gallipoli. Here was fought the famous
battle where thousands of Australians and New Zealanders
lost their lives in World War I. Winston Churchill and allied
generals were more to blame than the victorious Turks. It
was in this battle that Kemal Ataturk rose to fame. Later as
the leader of his country, he succeeded in modernizing and
secularizing most of Turkey with a tilt toward Europe. He
eliminated the fez and forbade headscarves. But todays
political leaders are headed in another direction. There is a
strong religious revival here. About 50 percent of the
women we saw wore headscarves and this was in hip, mod-
ern Istanbul. Kemal Ataturk was a wise and successful
leader. Turkey needs someone like him today as much as
Greece needs another Pericles.

while not thinking about making the
jump to another house. Term limits
means legislators often spend too much
time running for ofce rather than con-
ducting the business of the state. This
proposition would allow a constant
tenure in one of the states legislative
bodies.

Proposition 29-NO
Proposition 29 imposes an additional $1
per pack tax on cigarettes and an equiv-
alent tax increase on other tobacco
products. Revenue produced from
this tax would fund research
for cancer and tobacco-related
illnesses. While this proposi-
tion is a step up from other
similar proposals that seek to
fund unrelated programs
from cigarette taxes in that the
revenue produced will go
toward disease research, but now is
not the time to create a new government
program funded with tax money. In
addition, the majority of cigarette smok-
ers are low-income and a new tax on
that population is an unfair burden.
County measures
Measure T-NO
Measure T imposes a 2.5 percent busi-
ness license tax on vehicle rental busi-
nesses operating in unincorporated areas
of the county. It requires a majority vote
to pass. This measure is aimed at the
San Francisco International Airport and
seeks $7.75 million a year for the coun-
ty government. Ostensibly, it will tax
out-of-town visitors but could make
large meeting and convention planners
consider taking their business else-
where. In addition, air travel at SFO is
rebounding, but it has been a long road
since the downturn after the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It is too tenu-
ous a time to create any disincentive for
air travel to the area and add risk to
local business owners who depend on
tourist revenue.
***
Measure U-YES
Measure U increases the existing tran-
sient occupancy tax from 10 percent to
12 percent in the unincorporated areas of
the county and brings it in line with sim-
ilar taxes imposed by local cities. It
requires a majority vote to pass. This
measure would mean a modest increase
to the hotel tax in the unincorporated
areas of the county approximately
$1.50 for a $75 a night visit. It aims to
raise approximately $200,000 a year for
the county government.
***
Measure W-YES
Measure W is a $67 parcel
tax to improve education at
elementary and middle
schools in the Redwood
City Elementary School
District. It requires
two-thirds vote to pass. In the
last ve years, the district has
had to make due with $13 million in
cuts in the last ve years and no one has
had a raise. The current student to
teacher ratio is 30 to 1 a number
which most people agree is too high for
effective education. The parcel tax will
not cure the districts ills but it is a
modest measure to assist it in a tight
duciary time and is certainly warranted
this year.
***
Measure X-NO
Measure X imposes an 8 percent busi-
ness license tax on commercial parking
facility operators in unincorporated
areas of the county. It requires majority
vote to pass. This measure would likely
be passed on to customers, many who
live in this county and use these facili-
ties when taking ights from SFO else-
where.
***
Measure Z-YES
Measure Z will mean the continuation
of a parcel tax of no higher than $65 for
four more years County Fire Service
Area 1, also known as the Highlands. It
requires two-thirds vote to pass. The
county currently contracts with the
California Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection for coverage of its unin-
corporated areas like the Highlands but
voters there also pay an additional
amount of $65 per parcel to increase the
level of service. The tax was set at $65
in 1996 and generates approximately
$92,000 annually.

BUSINESS 10
By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON The global econ-
omys foundations are weakening, one
by one.
Already hobbled by Europes debt cri-
sis, the world now risks being hurt by
slowdowns in its economic powerhous-
es.
The U.S. economy, the worlds largest,
had a third straight month of feeble job
growth in May. High-ying economies
in China, India and Brazil are slowing,
too.
Fears of a global economic downturn
have sent investors rushing toward the
safest possible investments: U.S. and
German government bonds. As a result,
the interest rate on the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note has hit a record-low 1.46
percent. The rate on the German 10-year
bond is even lower: 1.17 percent.
Treasurys are at 1.46 because people
are freaking out, says Mark Vitner, sen-
ior economist at Wells Fargo
Economics.
The gravest fear is Europe. The most
urgent threat is that in mid-June, Greek
voters will reject the terms of a $170 bil-
lion bailout which called for painful
budget cuts and abandon the euro.
The move could ignite economic and
nancial chaos as Greek debts shift from
denominations in euros to Greek drach-
mas of uncertain value.
Yet the global economys troubles go
well beyond Greece.
American employers added just
69,000 jobs in May. Since averaging a
healthy 252,000 a month from
December through February, job growth
has slowed to a lackluster average of
96,000 a month.
On Friday, after the government
issued the May jobs report, the Dow
Jones industrial average sank 275 points.
It was the Dows biggest loss since
November, and its now down 0.8 per-
cent for the year.
The dismal news suggested that the
U.S. economy is enduring a midyear
slump just as in 2010 and 2011.
Unemployment rose to 8.2 percent
from 8.1 percent in May as 642,000
more Americans poured into the work
force, and only 422,000 more people got
jobs.
The jobs report came out a day after
the government said the U.S. economy
grew at just a 1.9 percent annual rate in
the rst three months of 2012. Thats a
meager pace nearly three years after the
recession ofcially ended in June 2009.
And its too slow to generate many jobs
or to lower the unemployment rate. In
good economic times, the rate would be
below 6 percent.
Many U.S. companies are nding it
more efcient to invest in machinery, not
people.
Were not hiring, and were not
replacing workers who leave, says Joe
Glenn, who runs Glenn Metalcraft in
Princeton, Minn.
His sales jumped 40 percent last year.
Yet Glenns shop has kept employment
at at about 35 workers. Hes added
more computer-controlled metalworking
machines and robots to load the raw
material into them.
Were producing as much as we were
with a lot less manpower, Glenn says.
And I dont foresee that those jobs are
going to come back.
Other companies are reluctant to hire
until they feel more condent that their cus-
tomer demand will keep growing. Adding
to their uncertainty are Europes troubles
and Americas dysfunctional politics.
Global economy at risk
LOS ANGELES A new poll nds
California voters are experiencing buy-
ers remorse over a proposed $68 billion
bullet train project, as the number of
lawsuits against the rail system grows.
Fifty-ve percent of voters want to see
the high-speed rail bond issue that was
approved in 2008 back on the ballot, and
59 percent say they would now vote
against it, according to the USC
Dornsife/Los Angeles Times survey
(lat.ms/N9tTcm) published Saturday.
Since the $9 billion borrowing plan
was passed, the projected cost of the bul-
let train between Los Angeles and San
Francisco has roughly doubled, and it
will now share track with slower com-
muter and freight trains in some areas,
the Times said.
A majority of voters have turned
against the ambitious undertaking just as
Gov. Jerry Brown is pushing lawmakers
to approve the start of construction in the
Central Valley later this year.
Powerful agriculture groups and
freight railroads maintain that proposed
routes would damage their interests and
compromise safety. Schools, churches,
businesses and homeowners are also
opposed to the project.
On Friday, Central Valley farm groups
led a major environmental lawsuit in
Sacramento County Superior Court, ask-
ing for a preliminary injunction to block
rail construction. Plaintiffs include the
Madera and Merced county farm
bureaus and Madera County. The suit is
one of several already on the books, and
still more agricultural interests in the
Central Valley are threatening to sue.
We think a preliminary injunction
against construction will occur because
there were so many violations in the
authoritys environmental impact
report, Anja Raudabaugh, executive
director of the Madera County Farm
Bureau, told the Times.
The plaintiffs say the rail project
would affect 1,500 acres of prime farm
land and 150 agribusinesses in their
region.
The poll found that concerns about the
project extend across regions, ethnic
groups, income brackets and even politi-
cal afliations, according to the Times.
Poll: Voters turn against bullet train
WASHINGTON A program that puts billions of dollars in
the pockets of farmers whether or not they plant a crop may dis-
appear with hardly a protest from farm groups and the politi-
cians who look out for their interests.
The Senate is expected to begin debate this week on a ve-
year farm and food aid bill that would save $9.3 billion by end-
ing direct payments to farmers and replacing them with subsi-
dized insurance programs for when the weather turns bad or
prices go south.
The details are still to be worked out. But theres rare agree-
ment that xed annual subsidies of $5 billion a year for farmers
are no longer feasible in this age of tight budgets and when
farmers in general are enjoying record prosperity.
About 80 percent of the bills half-trillion-dollar cost over the
next ve years represents nutrition programs, primarily food
stamps now going to some 46 million people. About $100 billion
would be devoted to crop subsidies and other farm programs.
The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee
last month approved a bill that would save $23 billion over the
next decade by ending direct payments and consolidating other
programs. The bill would strengthen the subsidized crop insur-
ance program and create a program to compensate farmers for
smaller, or shallow, revenue losses, based on a ve-year aver-
age, for acres actually planted.
Getting a bill to the presidents desk will be a challenge. Most
of the bills spending is on the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, or food stamps, at an annual cost now of
about $75 billion.
New farm bill would
end direct payments

up st pump to a burst of applause
from a frenzied crowd.
Stanford saw two of these
moments Saturday night at Sunken

second baseman Danny Diekroeger
made a game-changing defensive
play in the sixth amid a 4-4 tie, cut-

It was a good year for the little
gym that could over on Leslie Street
in San Mateo.
Actually, in the words of
Peninsula Gymnastics Program
Director, Courtney Tate, Our
growth has been gigantic this year.
Numbers-wise, things couldnt be
going much better for Tate and co-
founders Mikhail and Anna
Margulis Mark Kachko, who have
watched their gym grow to 39 com-
pulsory, 12 optional, 19 boy and 49
Xcel gymnasts in 2011-2012.
The entire Peninsula family came
out to celebrate their accomplish-
ments last Friday at the end of the
year banquet held at the Crowne
Plaza in Foster City. In all, 215
gymnasts and their families gath-
ered to celebrate arguably the best
season Peninsula has enjoyed since
it opened 17 years ago.
This banquet is denitely the
highlight of our season, Tate said.
Its really important for us as a gym
to highlight each and every one of
our students for their individuals
accomplishments and to let them
know that as an athlete, theyre an
intricate part of our team as a whole.
A lot of gyms dont focus on the
team aspect of gymnastics because
it is primarily an individual sport.
But I think thats really what makes
our gym stand out we really
focus on team. We want them to be
great athletes, but we want them to
be better teammates and that they
really focus on helping each other. I
think its because of that that weve
grown so much and our athletes are
doing so much better.
The truth is, 2011-2012 was a
banner year. In all, the girls teams
had 45 state qualiers, ve regional
qualiers, one tops national quali-
er and one junior Olympics
Nationals qualier.
On the boys side, 19 youngsters
qualied for State and seven for
Regionals while the Xcel team at
Peninsula had 31 state champion
participants and 13 regional quali-
ers.
Peninsula overall had 18 state
champions. The numbers truly are
terric and all the members of the
team were recognized at the ban-
quet.
Its very important for us that
each kid is awarded individually and
to make sure that every single thing
they did this season that was an
accomplishment for them [goes

SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito
pointed his nger at the cheering
crowd as he walked off the mound
to a standing ovation. Once the tar-
get of boos in San Francisco, Zito is
hearing nothing but cheers this year
from the home crowd.
Zito pitched 8 1-3 scoreless
innings for his 150th career win and
Joaquin Arias snapped an 18 at-bat
hitless stretch with an RBI single
that led the Giants to a 2-0 victory
over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
It feels good to have that sup-
port, Zito said. The fans here are
obviously coming out in droves and
supporting us through thick and
thin. It really res us up. Thats why
we love to play at home so much.

record by
extending his
home hitting
streak to 27
games. San
Francisco went
on to its 12th win in 17 games and
moved a season-high six games over
.500.
Travis Wood (0-2) was the tough-
luck loser for the Cubs, allowing
just one run and three hits in seven
innings as Chicago fell for the 15th
time in 18 games. The Cubs have
also lost 10 straight road games for

ARLINGTON, Texas Giovani
Dos Santos and Javier Chicharito
Hernandez each scored a rst-half
goal as Mexico beat Brazil 2-0 on
Sunday in a nal tune-up for the
Mexicans before World Cup quali-
fying play.
It was the second straight game in
which Mexicos top two forwards
each scored a goal, indicating the
Mexican attack is in top form at the
right time. Mexico plays Guyana on
Friday to open the seminal round
of World Cup qualifying in the
CONCACAF region.
This game served us well in our
plans for qualifying, Mexico coach
Jose Manuel de la Torre said
through a translator. We killed two
birds with one stone in beating a
strong opponent and preparing our-
selves for qualifying.
Dos Santos opened the scoring in
the 22nd minute on an unlikely
conversion from a difficult angle
near the sideline. The Tottenham
forward chipped the ball from the
left side of the box into the upper
corner of the right side, beating
goalkeeper Rafael Cabral, who was
making his second start for Brazil.
Brazil coach Mano Menezes dis-
missed the shot as a fortunate strike.
Giovani was crossing it into the
box and scored, Menezes said.
Ten minutes later, Dos Santos
again was in the middle of the
action. Brazilian defender Juan
Jesus took him down inside the
box, a clumsy foul because Dos
Santos back was to the goal. On
the penalty kick, Cabral guessed
correctly, but Hernandezs strike
found the net.
Brazil fielded a young squad of
under-23 players in preparation for
the upcoming Olympics in London.
This particular roster was in just its
third game together and found
itself trailing for the first time.
In the first half, we needed more
calm, Menezes said.

Wrigley Field since dropping 10 in
a row in September 2000.
Its a broken record, manager
Dale Sveum said. I dont know
what to say to come up with some-
thing different to make it ... Just
frustrating. I mean, golly. We hit a
few balls good. Other than that it
wasnt a lot of good at-bats going
on.
Zito (5-2) was rarely threatened
by the struggling Cubs, allowing
just four hits and two walks before
leaving to a standing ovation after a
one-walk to Darwin Barney in the
ninth. Sergio Romo nished for his
second save.
The Cubs got only one runner as
far as second base against Zito
when Ian Stewart and Reed Johnson
hit one-out singles in the fth. But
Zito escaped that jam with a strike-
out-double play with Stewart easily
being thrown out at third by Hector
Sanchez.
I tried to establish all my pitches
early, Zito said. As a hitter, when
you know a guy is throwing two,
three, four pitches for strikes, it
makes the at-bats difcult. So that
was important to me.
After struggling for most of his
rst ve seasons of a $126 million,
seven-year contract with the Giants,
Zito has been extremely dependable
so far this season starting with a
shutout his rst start at Colorado.
He has won four of his past ve
starts and has lowered his ERA to
2.98 to help make up for the slow
start by two-time Cy Young award
winner Tim Lincecum.
Zito got a standing ovation when
he walked off the mound after the
eighth inning and then a big cheer
when he batted to lead off the bot-
tom of the inning. The fans booed
manager Bruce Bochys decision to
replace Zito with Romo after 96
pitches.
Your heart is telling you give
him a shot but your brain is telling
you the right thing to do is to go get
him, Bochy said.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!

Dynamic duo
Both contributions by the
Diekroeger brothers Saturday were
punctuated with animated fist
pumps from the usually reserved
duo. In their second year together at
Stanford, this is the second time the
two have seen regional play as
teammates. Unlike last year, how-
ever, they are currently the core of
the Cardinal ineld.
Its been a circuitous route that
has lead to their current roles on the
diamond. Kenny began the year as
Stanfords starting shortstop, but
after an error in the season opener
against Vanderbilt, he moved over
to second base, ip-opping with
sophomore Lonnie Kauppila, who
moved from second to short.
But on April 15 against Oregon,
Kauppila suffered a season-ending
knee injury after colliding with
Kenny in the eld. With the injury,
freshman Brett Michael Doran ini-
tially stepped into a starting role at
second, with Kenny moving back to
shortstop.
Down the stretch, the Cardinal
won nine of their last 11 regular-
season games. And with two weeks
left in the regular season, the door
opened for Danny to take over at
second base. He seized the opportu-
nity, hitting in each of his last six
conference starts. Heading into
play last night, the sophomore was
hitting .444 (4 for 9) in regional
play. But, it was his clutch defense
that stands as one of the plays of the
tournament.
Postseason heroics
Danny turned in the emotional
defensive gem Saturday night, as
the game hung in the balance of a
4-4 tie. With Pepperdine freshman
Bryan Langlois on third base and
one out, Matt Gelalich hit a hard,
high chopper to the drawn-in
Diekroeger at second. The sopho-
more leapt to snag it, and came up
ring home to gun down Langlois
in a dust up at home to which
Danny reacted with an animated st
pump.
It was a tough snag, said
Kenny, who watched the game-
changer from shortstop. But I
knew once he had it, he had to
make a good throw to the plate, and
he did. It worked out for us. So, it
was a great play.
In the eighth, Kenny emerged as
the offensive hero when he shot a
double down the left-eld line to
score Tyler Gaffney all the way
from rst base to give Stanford a 5-
4 lead. As he stood on second,
Kenny celebrated with a st-pump
of his own. The RBI double would
stand as the game winner.
You play your best (in intense
games like that), Kenny said. We
couldnt have dreamt it better than
that. It was a lot of fun to play in,
and Im sure it was a lot of fun to
watch.
Pepperdine stuns Fresno St.
Trailing 5-2 heading into the
ninth, Pepperdine rallied for a
thrilling comeback in yesterdays
elimination game. The Waves
scored six times in their nal at bat
to stun 2008 National Champion
Fresno State 8-5.
Fresno State starter Cody Kendall
worked into the ninth, but
Pepperdine got three straight singles
from Austin Davidson, Joe Sever,
and Tony Cooper to load the bases.
A walk to Sam Meyer forced home
Davidson, ending Kendalls day.
Bulldogs closer Taylor Garrison
was greeted with an RBI single by
Floyd Given and a monumental
grand slam by designated hitter
Matt Forgatch to lift Pepperdine to
victory.
Cooper a San Carlos native
was 3 for 4 with two runs scored in
the game.
The Waves advanced through the
bracket by rst downing Michigan
State 6-2 in Fridays tourney open-
er, before falling to the losers brack-
et with Saturdays one-run loss to
Stanford. At the Stanford regional
in 2008, Pepperdine and Stanford
matched up in the championship
round, with Pepperdine needing to
be defeated twice. Stanford pulled
off the upset and ultimately
advanced to the College World
Series.
Stanford and Fresno State never
played one another neither in the
regular season nor in the playoffs
throughout the Bulldogs Cinderella
championship season.
Michigan St. goes out in style
Michigan State may be disap-
pointed about going two-and-out in
the programs rst regional appear-
ance in 33 years, but at least they
get to take the memory of having
turned a triple play with them. And
boy was it a good one.
The dazzling defensive feat came
in the eighth inning Saturday.
Fresno State would go on to win 8-
2, and had already extended its lead
in the eighth. Rallying with two on,
the Bulldogs tried to go large by
putting two base runners in motion
with Kenneth Wise at the plate.
Wise shot a deep drive to right-
center which appeared to be bound
for the gap, so the base runners kept
trucking. But, Michigan State center
elder Anthony Cheky came ying
into the play with an impressive
backhanded diving grab, then
aggressively hopped to his feet and
red to the ineld to start an 8-3-6-
3 triple play.
Thats just a heck of a play,
Wise said of getting robbed of extra
bases. Our base runners were
going, and I thought it was an easy
two runs. And he just all-out laid
out. Hats off to him.
Fresno State left-hander Tom
Harlan went 4 2/3 innings as the
Bulldogs starting pitcher, before
giving way to the eventual winner,
senior reliever Gene Escat. Harlan
a San Bruno native and former
Riordan standout got stronger as
the game progressed. But as part of
a pregame decision by Fresno
States coaching staff, Harlan was
strictly limited to going just twice
through the batting order.
Harlan was coming off a taxing
performance the previous weekend
in the Western Athletic Conference
Tournament. The senior threw 13
1/3 innings over the course of two
games in ve days to help Fresno
State to the WAC title.

acknowledged], Tate said. Our
preschool and recreation program
has denitely taken a hit with the
economic downturn - we dont see
as many concurrent enrollment kids
staying as long as they used to. But
with the team program, we havent
had that hard of a hit. I think once
the kids get locked into the pro-
gram, most of them stay, no matter
what. And were lucky to have par-
ents that sacrice for them to stay in
the sport.
In addition to each member of
Peninsula getting their time in the
spotlight, many were recognized for
their individual efforts with separate
awards it was recognition
received by the gymnasts as voted
on by their peers, according to Tate.
Awards were handed out to ve
gymnasts in three different cate-
gories. Gymnasts like Jackie
Rutgers were voted Hardest Worker,
Dominic Love and Emma Scott
were among ve who took home
Most Improved, and Most Spirited
went to youngsters like Claire
Mason and Christina Andrus.
A special award, The Leah
Quintana Memorial Award that cel-
ebrates the life of a former
Peninsula Gymnast, was handed out
to three young athletes: Kristen
Kuhn, Sasha Jerkunica and Bella
Freed.
That probably is the highlight of
the banquet for these kids, Tate
said. Some of these kids, when I
announced that they won these
awards and said a few words as to
why, they ran up to the stage to get
their trophies. And I think that its
really important and special to them
because their teammates helped
choose them for that award.
There was plenty to celebrate
about if youre a Peninsula
Gymnast, including a trip to
Nationals made by their only Level
10, Maddie Tom, a soon-to-be jun-
ior at Carlmont High School.
I would say the biggest highlight
of the year was our Level 10, Tate
said, the fact that she made it to
Nationals and competed quite well
at Nationals, that probably the high-
light of our season by far. Jessica
Wickizer and George Isuan, her
coaches, did a great job of preparing
her to overcome all the injuries she
had this season and make it to the
biggest competition in the country.
With the success of Tom and the
rest of the Peninsula gymnasts in
2011-201, Tate feels the future is
quite bright.
Were still somewhat of a
younger gym - weve been in busi-
ness 17 years and there are some
gyms that have been around for 20
or 30, Tate said. We really want to
get out there as a competitive team.
We have denitely earned our name
and our place in Northern California
gymnastics, so our goal is to contin-
ue to stress our competitiveness, our
team aspect and to really be one of
the top teams in our compulsory
season coming up.

DOVER, Del. Jimmie
Johnson was the mane man at
Dover.
Wearing an afro clown wig
tufts of green, red, yellow and blue
could be spotted from the stands
Johnson had to admit it was hard to
take him seriously while he played
the role of race jester.
Some guys just have all the fun.
That especially includes on this
track.
Johnson romped again at Dover
International Speedway, racing his
way into the tracks history books
on Sunday with his seventh win on
the concrete, matching the mark
held by Hall of Fame drivers
Richard Petty and Bobby Allison.
No active driver owns the track
like the ve-time Sprint Cup cham-
pion. Johnson
led 289 of the
400 laps and
looked every bit
like the driver
who swept the
two Cup races at
Dover in 2002
and 2009.
Johnson last
won at Dover on
Sept. 26, 2010. He also won the
September 2005 race.
God, I love this place, Johnson
said as he took a victory spin.
Then it was off to goof around in
Victory Lane. Johnson, crew chief
Chad Knaus and other Hendrick
Motorsports crew members wore
the wacky wig seen in the talking-
animal movie, Madagascar 3:
Europes Most Wanted.
They had good reason to clown
around. Throw in the All-Star race
and thats a sweet four-race winning
streak for NASCARs top organiza-
tion.
Johnson won at Darlington
Raceway and Kasey Kahne won the
Coca Cola 600. Johnson also won
the non-points All-Star race during
that span as the No. 48 Chevrolet is
heating up as he chases a sixth Cup
championship.
Ive never been one to pay atten-
tion to stats, Johnson said. I just
truthfully never thought Id be the
guy whod build up any cool stats.
Here I am with some pretty cool
stats with legends of our sport and
guys that Ive looked up to.
Johnson won his second race of
the season and rst where he cel-
ebrated with a rainbow circus wig.
Im just proud of this hair,
Johnson said. The hair brought
some speed to the team.
Petty needed 46 races to win
seven times and Allison had 35
races. Johnson got to seven in his
21st start at the track known as the
Monster Mile.
You whipped em today, Knaus
said over the radio.
Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth,
Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Clint
Bowyer rounded out the top ve.
Johnsons win came about 390
miles after a massive 13-car acci-
dent ended weeks of mostly acci-
dent-free races and took out defend-
ing Cup champion Tony Stewart.
Stewart eventually returned and n-
ished 25th.
Johnsons only real challenge for
a stretch came from teammate Jeff
Gordon. The No. 24 was strong
enough to lead 60 laps midway
through the race and had perhaps
the car to beat until a tire issue and
an ill-timed debris caution com-
bined to land him in 13th.
Johnson wins for 7th time at Dover
Ervin wins 50 free at
Santa Clara Grand Prix
SANTA CLARA Anthony
Ervin, the 2000 Olympic champion
making a comeback after 12 years,
won the 50-meter freestyle, while
Stephanie Rice of Australia took the
400 individual medley and Park Tae-
hwan of South Korea won his fourth
event at the Santa Clara Grand Prix
swim meet on Saturday night.
Ervin touched in 22.35 seconds,
followed by training partner William
Copeland in 22.74. Takuro Fuji of
Japan was third at 22.86.
Rice led all the way in winning the
400 IM in 4 minutes, 35.87 seconds.
Caitlin Leverenz was second at
4:37.13 and 14-year-old Zhao Min
of China was third at 4:40.67.
Park won his fourth event of the
meet, taking the 200 freestyle in
1:46.88, with the Olympic silver
medalist beating the eld by nearly
2 seconds.

Djokovic, Federer win at
French Open, Azarenka out
PARIS There was a moment, a
little past 4 p.m. on a dank and drea-
ry Sunday at the French Open, when
the gray sky above appeared to be
falling on some of the best of the
best.
A listless Novak Djokovic, look-
ing very little like someone ranked
No. 1 and bidding to become the
rst man in 43 years to win four
consecutive Grand Slam titles, was
trying to work his way out of a two-
set deficit against 22nd-seeded
Andreas Seppi of Italy on Court
Philippe Chatrier.
Even more astonishingly, a um-
moxed Roger Federer, owner of a
record 16 major championships, was
trudging to the sideline after drop-
ping his first set against 109th-
ranked David Gofn of Belgium, a
21-year-old kid thrilled merely to be
sharing Court Suzanne Lenglen with
his idol.
Gofn, it must be noted, was a
lucky loser a player beaten in
qualifying who got to make his
Grand Slam debut only because
someone else withdrew.
By that point, one significant
upset already was complete Sunday:
The No. 1-seeded woman,
Australian Open champion Victoria
Azarenka, was headed home after
losing to No. 15 Dominika
Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-2, 7-6 (4),
busting a racket on the way out the
door.
By Doug Ferguson
DUBLIN, Ohio Tiger Woods was at his best
Sunday at the Memorial. He hit nearly every shot
just the way he wanted, worked the gallery into a
frenzy with one last charge over the nal hour and
left everyone buzzing especially Jack Nicklaus
with a shot they will talk about for years.
Better yet was the timing of his 73rd win.
Woods tied Nicklaus for career PGA Tour victo-
ries at the tournament that Jack built. And the 14-
time major champion suddenly looks equipped to
resume his chase of another Nicklaus mark that is
more signicant 18 major championships.
The U.S. Open starts in 11 days.
With a chip-in that even Woods called one of the
toughest shots he ever made, he birdied three of
his last four holes to close with a 5-under 67 and
turn a two-shot decit into a two-shot victory over
Rory Sabbatini and fast-closing Andres Romero.
Coming off a two-putt birdie on the 15th, Woods
hit 8-iron over the green at the par-3 16th and into
an impossible lie. It was buried in deep rough, the
pin 50 feet away along a ridge. Woods hit a full
op shot, hopeful to give himself a reasonable putt
for par. Far more likely was the ball going short
and down a slope away from the pin, or coming
out too strong and rolling into the water.
No one was thinking birdie, not even Woods,
until he took two steps and delivered an uppercut
when the ball fell in the right side of the cup.
Nicklaus was gushing from the broadcast booth.
The most unbelievable, gutsy shot Ive ever
seen, he said.
Under the circumstances the circumstances
being Tiger has been struggling it was either
sh or cut bait, Nicklaus said later. He had one
place to land the ball. Hes playing a shot that if he
leaves it short, hes going to leave himself again a
very difcult shot. If he hits it long, hes going to
probably lose the tournament. He lands the ball
exactly where it has to land. Going in the hole was
a bonus. But what a shot!
I dont think under the circumstances Ive ever
seen a better shot.
Woods, who nished at 9-under 279, won the
Memorial for the fth time. At age 36, he is 10
years younger than Nicklaus when the Golden
Bear won his 73rd tournament at the 1986
Masters. Sam Snead holds the PGA Tour record
with 82 wins.
It was vintage Woods at Muireld Village, the
fth course where he has won at least ve times.
And it was the perfect way for him to end his worst
stretch as a pro. After winning at Bay Hill in
March, he tied for 40th in the Masters, missed the
cut at Quail Hollow and tied for 40th at The
Players Championship.
Asked about the endless chatter about whether
his game is back, Woods eventually sighed and
said, Ill let you guys gure that out.
Woods won for the second time this year and
moved to No. 4 in the world.
This was more impressive than his ve-shot win
in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in
March, when he had a one-shot lead going into the
nal round on a course where he could get by with
par. The Memorial required much more work,
especially when he had to go after birdies on the
back nine.
And thats what he did.
Woods reached the par-5 15th into the wind in
two shots to set up a two-putt birdie and get with-
in one shot of Sabbatini. But just like that, it
looked as if his chances were over when his 8-iron
bounded through the green and into a tough lie
behind the green.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alex
Gordon and Brayan Pena combined
on a play at the plate to preserve a
shutout for Vin Mazzaro and three
Royals relievers.
Mazzaro pitched six innings to
help the Royals beat up on punch-
less Oakland again, 2-0 Sunday.
The Athletics are hitting .209 on
the season, have been shut out in
three of their past four games and
have lost 10 of 11 overall.
In the fth inning, Josh Reddick
hit a foul y ball that Gordon caught
near the seats. Adam Rosales tagged
up at third, as Gordon let y. The
throw beat Rosales, who tried but
failed to jar the ball loose from
catcher Brayan Pena.
No luck.
It was just a reaction play,
Gordon said. I thought it was in the
stands when he hit it. It kind of
crossed my mind should I catch it or
let it drop. It was just one of those
bang-bang plays. I caught it, bob-
bled it and just tried to chuck it over
(Rosales) head a little bit. I put it
right there. It was denitely a good
time of the game for that to happen.
It gave us some momentum.
Gordon, who moved from third
base to the outeld only two years
ago, won a Gold Glove last year.
I thought that was a phenomenal
play, Royals manager Ned Yost
said. I thought the ball was going
to be in the stands. The thing that
was impressive was Alex didnt give
up on it. He caught the ball on the
dead run and made a tremendous
throw to the plate over the runner.
That was a good hit Pena took. The
runner had time to plow into him.
Eric Hosmer homered and Mazzaro
(2-0), who pitched for the As from
2009-10, allowed four singles,
walked three and struck out three.

nals at two games apiece.
Getting a huge break when

Celtics recovered after blowing an
18-point lead in regulation to move
two games away from a third trip to

A
friend sent me a frantic text after
10 p.m. last Wednesday. Her
moms dog got out after dinner
and the entire family was a wreck fearing
the worst. My friend asked if there was a
number she could call that night to see if we
found their dog. I explained there is no
number for the public to call after hours to
check on strays, but that I would text a few
staff to see if this dogs description rang a
bell. Bingo! One of our ofcers who had
been working earlier that evening said a
Good Samaritan brought a dog matching her
dogs description to our Coyote Point shelter
our facility for incoming strays. We had a
possible match and some promising news.
That same night, my friend passed along a
microchip number, which I gave to staff
working the next morning and we had a def-
inite match! I shared the news with my
friend hours before we opened to the public.
Naturally, the family arrived early and tears
ensued when they were reunited. This sce-
nario was highly unusual. I dont make a
habit of responding to texts at bedtime and
cant always get in touch with staff after
hours. But I can offer this advice. Follow
the ounce of prevention adage. Make sure
your pet has current, visible identication
tags and a microchip. Dont allow your dog
even if hes well-behaved to walk off-
leash in public. Make sure your yard is
secure; x loose or missing boards and
replace the rickety gate before its too late.
If your pet becomes stray, act immediately!
Canvass the neighborhood on foot, post
iers offering a reward and visit our Coyote
Point shelter, as soon as possible, to com-
plete a Lost Pet report. We love seeing tears
of joy at our front counter when people and
their pets are reunited, but we all could live
without those tears.

LOS ANGELES Snow White
& the Huntsman turned out to be a
fairer box-office beauty than
Hollywood anticipated.
According to studio estimates
Sunday, Universal Pictures action
yarn inspired by the fairy-tale
princess debuted strongly at No. 1
with $56.3 million domestically.
Thats about $20 million higher than
industry expectations.
Without the built-in business that
generally goes with a sequel, Snow
White was a question mark as a
draw for young males who typically
make up most of the action crowd.
The movie wound up drawing a fair-
ly even audience, with female fans
accounting for 53 percent of viewers.
We werent even thinking we
could do beyond $40 million, espe-
cially for a title where you didnt
know if the males are going to show
up. And they did, said Nikki Rocco,
head of distribution for Universal.
Overseas, Snow White added
$39.3 million in 45 markets, putting
the worldwide total at $95.6 million
for the movie that stars Kristen
Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris
Hemsworth.
Snow White bumped Sonys
Men in Black 3 from the top spot
and into second-place with $29.3
million. The Will Smith-Tommy
Lee Jones sequel raised its domestic
total to $112.3 million after two
weekends and added $78.6 million
overseas for an international take of
$274.6 million and a worldwide
gross of $386.9 million.
Disneys superhero sensation The
Avengers remained strong at No. 3
with $20.3 million, lifting its domestic
total to $552.7 million. The
Avengers climbed past The Dark
Knight at $533.3 million to become
No. 3 all-time on the domestic revenue
chart, behind Avatar at $760.5 mil-
lion and Titanic at $658.5 million.
Adding $12.4 million overseas,
The Avengers pushed its interna-
tional haul to $802.5 million and its
worldwide earnings to $1.36 billion.
That raised it past last years Harry
Potter nale at $1.33 billion to put
The Avengers at No. 3 in all-time
revenue worldwide, also behind
only Avatar ($2.8 billion) and
Titanic ($2.2 billion).
Ridley Scotts Alien forerunner
Prometheus, from 20th Century
Fox, got off to a solid start overseas
with $35 million in 15 markets
ahead of its U.S. release Friday.
Though not a direct prequel,
Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace,
Michael Fassbender and Theron in a
sci-fi adventure that takes place
decades before the action of Alien
and is set in a similar world as that
1979 horror tale from lmmaker
Scott.
In one weekend, Snow White &
the Huntsman pulled in nearly as
much as the $62.4 million that the
years previous Snow White adven-
ture, Mirror Mirror, took in domesti-
cally over its entire run.
Mirror Mirror was a fairy-tale
comedy that appealed mainly to
female crowds. Drawing well
among male and female fans, Snow
White & the Huntsman is an all-out
action ick, with Twilight star
Stewart as the princess, aided by a
rugged man of arms (Thor star
Hemsworth) to lead a battle against
the evil queen (Theron).

Syttende Mai, Norways Constitution Day, was celebrated May 21 in Redwood City by Vige-
land Lodge #6-155, a local Sons of Norway group. Traditional food, music and clothing are
highlights of the celebration, for which Irene Soma (l.), Gerd Syrstad (c.) and Judith Beyer (r.)
wore their bunads, the traditional festive folk costume of Norway. Bunads require hundreds
of hours of detailed handwork for the embroidery on the skirts, aprons, bodices, and shirts.
Vigeland Lodge #6-155 meets the rst and third Fridays of the month at the Highland Com-
munity Club in Redwood City. Those interested in Norwegian culture are welcome and are

million in closing and transitions costs,
the county anticipates saving $9 million

The retirement program is not the rst

aration as a cost-savings measure. The
county began using voluntary employee
separation in 2010 and in April agreed to

to Parkside in the fall.
The long-term reconfiguration goal
required building a new middle school to
serve the additional students. Part of that
vision was built. Other upgrades would
have been funded through Measure O, a
failed bond attempt put before voters in
2011. The board voted to spend up to
$20 million of district funds for rebuild-
ing or remodeling of Parkside. Those
funds came from the $30.5 million the
district received from the sale of the Carl
Sandburg Elementary School site for in
2005, 27 years after it closed.
The district began studying recongu-
ration after parents of children attending
Crestmoor Elementary School requested
the school be changed to serve kinder-
garten through eighth-grade students.
When the item came up for a vote in
May 2009, parents, administrators and
teachers from other schools urged the
board to research recongurations equi-
table for all students, not just one school.
This led the board to create a district-
wide committee to research potential
changes at all schools.
Moving sixth graders to Parkside has
recently raised an unintended conse-
quence of school closure discussions.
Such a move was put forward due to
nancial restrictions and a lower enroll-
ment at the elementary schools as a
result of moving sixth grade students to
Parkside. The board, however, recently
opted not to move forward with any
school closures.
GRADES
grams currently offered by the Sequoia
Union High School District. She wanted
to offer alternatives particularly to work
with students at risk of dropping out.
The proposed school is modeled after
Big Picture Learning, which was estab-
lished in 1995 by Dennis Littky and
Elliot Washor, according to the organiza-
tions website. The rst school opened
the following year in Rhode Island with
a freshman class of 50. Graduating in
2000, the rst class had a 96 percent
graduation rate. Today, more than 60
schools in 14 states are using the model.
There is also a handful of schools inter-
nationally using the design, according to
the website.
Locally, the program would allow stu-
dents to participate in an internship dur-
ing the year. Students would attend the
internship twice a week and go to class
three times a week. Along the way, stu-
dents work closely with an advisor, who
acts as a teacher. Students will learn the
standards required by state colleges and
all apply to at least one college or post-
secondary program.
To get started, the organization has
held a couple of meetings reaching out
to the community, said Charlene Margot,
who is on the steering committee. The
plan would be to open the school with a
freshman and sophomore class of 50
each then grow to the full capacity of
200 students.
Getting parents, teachers and students
on board is one of the rst steps, said
Stewart. Raising $250,000 to $500,000
is the next big task for the group.

District is no stranger to charter schools.

CHARTER
is only a part of its effort to stop the
crime, said Matt Bronson, interim streets
and facility manager for San Mateo.
Police are now looking to catch the
offenders in the act and punish them
appropriately. A code enforcement effort
is also under way to get private property
owners to remove the grafti, Bronson
said.
Two weeks ago, Burlingame arrested
two juveniles and sought another in con-
nection with multiple incidents of graf-
ti throughout Burlingame. One of the
juveniles was a San Mateo resident and
prolic tagger, Mefford said.
Mefford and Bronson also work close-
ly with the citys Public Works
Department to identify troubled spots
and cover them up quickly.
Part of the problem, however, is that
the taggers and gangs will mark up pri-
vate property or utility boxes owned by
Pacific Gas and Electric, AT&T,
Comcast or other companies. The
cloverleaf over Highway 101 at Third
Avenue gets tagged and marked by
gangs constantly, said Ray Jackson, who
leads the citys abatement effort with
Public Works. But the cloverleaf is the
property of Caltrans, he said. Jackson
has worked with Caltrans which has also
stepped up its effort to remove grafti.
The soundwalls along Highway 101 are
also popular with taggers, Jackson said.
Oftentimes, gang grafti will show up
on the edges of a neighborhood, even in
small script or on a tree, to mark turf.
The Shoreview and North Central neigh-
borhoods of San Mateo have a prolic
number of street gangs operating within
and their associated Norteo, Sureo
and other gang signs dot the area.
Mefford understands what most of the
grafti means and said the city has iden-
tied practically every tagger in the city.
Busting them, however, is not always
easy as they must generally be caught in
the act for any real charges to stick,
Mefford said.
The city can abate all day, Bronson
said, but is trying to develop some long-
term strategies to address the crime.
The public helps a lot, he said, by noti-
fying the city of fresh grafti.
The police department has even start-
ed photographing and cataloging all the
grafti before it is covered up, Mefford
said.
Gangs will also use slap ups to mark
territory, Mefford said. The stickers,
often slapped on stop signs, are some-
times harder to remove because of the
glue, Jackson said.
They are also meant to intimidate,
Mefford said.
Unabated grafti attracts other grafti
and its important to eradicate it as soon
as possible, Manheimer said.
Sometimes graffiti battles erupt,
Manheimer said, and the sheer volume
can be overwhelming, especially when
its on a Caltrans or Caltrain right-of-way
that is not the citys job to clean up.
But the city has been collaborating
with both those agencies to abate the
problem and nd new ways to stop it,
Bronson said.
To report graffiti call the Graffiti
Hotline at (650) 522-7300.

GRAFFITI
MIAMI George Zimmerman, the
former neighborhood watch volunteer
charged with murder in the killing of
Trayvon Martin, surrendered to police
Sunday and was booked into a central
Florida jail two days after his bond was
revoked.
Zimmermans legal team said in a
tweet Sunday afternoon that he was in
police custody. Circuit Judge Kenneth
Lester revoked Zimmermans bond on
Friday, saying the defendant and his
wife had lied to the court in April about
their nances so he could obtain a lower
bond.
About 40 minutes before the 2:30 p.m.
Sunday deadline to surrender, the
Seminole County jail
website listed
Zimmerman as an
inmate. He was being
held without bail and
had $500 in his jail
account, the website
showed.
Seminole County
Sheriff Donald
Eslinger said
Zimmerman turned
himself in to two sheriffs ofce employ-
ees around 1:25 p.m. near the jail, and
was then driven there. Zimmerman
arrived in a white minivan and did not
respond to questions from reporters as
he walked inside, handcuffed and wear-
ing blue jeans, sneakers and a button-
down shirt.
He is quiet and cooperative,
Eslinger said at a news conference after
Zimmermans surrender.
The sheriffs ofce said the 28-year-
old Zimmerman would be in a cell by
himself, separated from the general pop-
ulation, because the case is so high-pro-
le. The 67-square-foot cell is equipped
with a toilet, two beds, a mattress, a pil-
low, a blanket and bed sheets.
Zimmerman will not have access to a
TV.
Prosecutors said last week that
Zimmerman and his wife told the judge
at a bond hearing in April that they had
limited money, even though he had
raised about $135,000 through a website
set up for his legal defense.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Inaccurately evaluating
the power of someone who opposes you is not only
foolish, but is also likely to cause you to handle the
situation in ways that lead to utter failure.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone who knows
how to pump people for private or secret informa-
tion is likely to pick on you. Be on your guard when
discussing delicate matters.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be positive and expectant
of good results, but dont base your hopes on false
expectations or wishful thinking. If youre unrealistic,
every payoff will be disappointing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even though your prob-
abilities for success are quite strong, you still may
experience failure because of the way you handle
things. Dont turn your opportunities into regrets.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In your eagerness to
paint a glowing picture in hopes of encouraging
others to follow your lead, you might go overboard.
Stick to the truth and youll have no problem wooing
others to your side.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- This is not one of those
days when you should be speculating in unfamiliar
areas. Unless you understand what youre getting
into, you could lose much more than you anticipate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Seeking an easy
out could be much more harmful than facing up to
what needs to be done. If you bite the bullet, youll
fnd the pain to be far weaker than you feared.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- For your own rea-
sons, youll prefer taking the diffcult, necessary road
over a facile cop-out. Its the right decision: Honesty
attracts admiration while deceit destroys it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In your involvements
with others, your assessment of matters might be
quite different than the views of the people with
whom you are negotiating. Keep an open mind.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont expect any de-
sirable results if you allow others to make decisions
and do your thinking for you. Theyre going to do
what is best for them, not for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if its painless for
you to make a big promise, when it comes time to
keep your word you might have to pay a huge price.
Be sure to look before you leap.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Its fne to give some-
thing of yours to another if thats what you want to
do, but if its an item that doesnt belong to you, it
isnt your prerogative to do so.
