Report:More businesses dying than departing

San Mateo County sees some loss in manufacturing sector,business association finds

Most of San Mateo County’s

moving away but of those pulling

remains the largest, according to a
new study of local labor.

A massive hay maze south of Half

Burlingame dog owners can play in

In 2008, the council voted to allowed off-leash

A 23-year-old man who allegedly harassed

Andrew Alfredo Martinez, of Redwood

State,county taxable sales up
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo County’s sales tax jumped 1.6 per-
cent in the first quarter of last year, more than a
statewide increase but not matching some of the
jumps in the Bay Area.
Most of the counties in the First Equalization
District showed increases over the prior year,
according to figures released yesterday by repre-
sentative Betty T. Yee of the California State Board
of Equalization.
The California-wide hike ended a 10-quarter
slide in the first quarter of 2010 with $108.6 billion
in sales. The amount is 1.3 percent or $1.4 greater
than the first quarter of 2009.
“The beginning of positive growth in retail sales
is indeed a welcome indicator of our state’s con-
tinued economic recovery,” Yee said in a prepared
statement.

Several questioned in
missing student case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAYWARD — Authorities have issued
search warrants and interviewed 15 to 20 rela-
tives and acquaintances as they search for a
Northern California nursing student who went
missing five days ago during a break from a clin-
ical rotation, police said Wednesday.
Some of those questioned in the disappear-
ance of 26-year-old Michelle Le were consid-
ered persons of interest, but no arrests have been
made, Hayward police Lt. Roger Keener said.
One person was brought to the police station
for questioning and later released. Keener did
not identify the person.
“Our overarching goal here is to find Michelle
and to find out why she’s missing,” Keener said,
noting that former boyfriends were among those
interviewed.
Le was last seen Friday evening heading to a
parking garage at Kaiser Hospital in Hayward.
Her locked Honda SUV was later found a few
blocks away.
Investigators were examining footage from
the parking structure’s security cameras. Police
believe Le had her cell phone with her when
she disappeared, but calls to the number have

Keener played down a

miles from the spot where Le disappeared.
Authorities in Fairfield are investigating the

at the time and no relation to Michelle Le.
Phuong Le’s body was found in rural Napa
County 12 days after she disappeared outside a
Fairfield bookstore. Her unlocked car was left in
the parking lot.
Despite the similarities between the two cases
— including the same last name and the nursing
connection — Keener said the information avail-

“While we can’t eliminate it 100 percent, we
are probably not going to focus on that direc-

state treasurer,dies
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Former California state
treasurer Matt Fong, a Republican who lost a
challenge to Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer,
died Wednesday after a four-year battle with
cancer.
His wife, Paula Fong, told The Associated
Press that her husband died at their home in
Pasadena with family and their son by his side.
Matt Fong was the son of
March Fong Eu, who
served 20 years as secretary
of state and was the first
Asian elected to statewide
office in California. He was
57.
“He was alert up until this
morning. He was asking
Matt Fong what we’re going to do
today,” Paula Fong said.
“He was a great and wonderful person, a won-
derful husband.” She said he had squamous cell
carcinoma of the tongue.
Matt Fong, an attorney and a Lieutenant
Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, was elected
state treasurer in 1994 and served one term. In
1998, he unsuccessfully challenged Boxer for
her Senate seat. Boxer issued a statement com-
mending Fong for a distinguished career of pub-
lic service.
“In our Senate race years ago, Matt was a
strong competitor and we debated passionately,
but we always had respect for one another,”
Boxer said.
During that campaign, Boxer’s attack ads cast
Fong as holding positions on abortion, gun con-
trol and the environment that were out of step
with the majority of Californians. She started
calling him “part of the extreme.”
In contrast, Fong presented himself as a social
moderate. He believed, for example, that abor-
tion should be legal during the first trimester.
He ran at a time when the party still favored
centrist Republicans.
Fong, who was drawn by the party’s strong
support of the military and small business, was
able to edge out the more conservative candidate
in the GOP primary. He ran against Darrell Issa,
a wealthy car-alarm manufacturer who is now a
member of Congress and chairman of the House
Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
During the 1998 race, the San Francisco
Examiner reported that Fong had donated
$50,000 to a conservative religious group for a
poll that would support a campaign against
same-sex marriages in California. He then
signed a one-page letter pledging to maintain
AIDS funding and to support laws against hate
crimes and job discrimination as a way to
appease the Log Cabin Club, a gay Republican
group.
Fong also has Democratic ties through his
mother. Eu was the first Chinese-American
elected to the state Legislature and just the sec-
ond woman elected to statewide office in
California. She served as secretary of state for
nearly 20 years before resigning in 1994 to
become U.S. ambassador to Micronesia.
She sought the Democratic nomination for the
job a second time, in 2002, but lost to Kevin
Shelley.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who served with Eu during
his previous stint in the governor’s office,
expressed his condolences to the family.
“On behalf of all Californians, I wish to
express gratitude for the service that Mr. Fong
provided to our great state during his term as
treasurer,” Brown said in a statement.
Former Gov. Pete Wilson, a political mentor
to Fong, remembered him for his intellect and
heart. Wilson helped launch Fong’s political
career when he appointed him to the state Board
of Equalization in 1991.
“He was a thoroughly decent, good man and
one of the more talented public servants that I
have been privileged to work with,” Wilson said
in a statement.
As state treasurer, he encouraged smaller
firms to compete for lucrative underwriting and
advisory work on state financing deals, started a
program to teach money management skills to
elementary students and helped prevent the
Orange County bankruptcy from impacting
other counties, according to Ron Rogers, who
was Fong’s campaign manager.
Current state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, a
Democrat, said Fong “never forgot he was man-
aging taxpayers’ money and never failed to put
their interests first.”
Fong also earned an award from the Simon
Wiesenthal Center for persuading Swiss banks
to provide restitution to Holocaust victims
whose assets were being held by the banks.
arriving in Joshua Kaufman’s inbox. The grainy
photos are low-lit and intimate: a man curled up
on a couch, sound asleep; the same man propped
up against pillows on a bed, shirtless.
Who was this stranger sitting with Kaufman’s
stolen laptop?
Kaufman collected the images and took them
to police, who did not help him. So he went
online, publishing the pictures on Twitter and in
a blog titled “This Guy Has My MacBook.”
“People who followed me on Twitter retweet-
ed it. It got picked up by social media and the
press. It went super viral,” he said. On the same
day that he posted his website on Twitter, police
came calling.
Police on Tuesday arrested a 27-year-old cab
driver, Muthanna Aldebashi. On Wednesday,
Kaufman picked up his laptop from the police.
Juveniles with life terms
could get second chance
SACRAMENTO — Juveniles sentenced to
life in prison without the possibility of parole
could get a second chance under legislation
approved by the state Senate.
Sen. Leland Yee’s bill would let courts review
life sentences after 15 years. It passed 21-16 on
Wednesday.
SB 9 would allow judges to reduce sentences
to 25 years-to-life for offenders who show
remorse and are working to be rehabilitated.
It now goes to the Assembly, where a similar
bill died last year.
Yee, a San Francisco Democrat, says about
275 California inmates are serving life terms for
crimes committed before they were 18. He says
the United States is the only nation that lets chil-
dren be sentenced to life without parole.
Senate sets restrictions
on funeral protests
SACRAMENTO — A Kansas-based group
that has used inflammatory language to protest
such groups stay 1,000 feet from a burial site,
mortuary or place of worship.
His bill, SB888, was in response to a U.S.
Supreme Court ruling in March that said
protests by the Westboro Baptist Church are
protected free speech.
Bill would extend benefits
to health care staffers
SACRAMENTO — The state Assembly has
approved a measure that would automatically
qualify hospital employees for workers’ com-
pensation if they contracted certain diseases and
infections on the job.
AB 375 would make hospitals responsible if
their employees develop blood-borne diseases or
staph infections. It passed 44-22 along party
lines Wednesday, with Democrats in support.
Bill banning pension abuse approved
SACRAMENTO — It would be more difficult
for California’s public employees to pad their
pensions under a bill approved by the state Senate.
SB27 prohibits so-called pension spiking by
employees covered by California’s two largest
pension funds. Spiking is when employees use
last-minute retirement incentives such as promo-
tions, bonuses and vacation time to increase their
benefits.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a
similar bill last year because it was linked to an
Assembly bill he said did not go far enough to
prevent pension abuses by municipal employees.
Bill cuts fingerprinting
from welfare application
SACRAMENTO — California would no
longer fingerprint recipients of welfare and food
stamps under a bill the state Assembly approved
Wednesday.
Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Democrat
from Sylmar who sponsored the bill, said finger-
printing does little to deter fraud.

State Senate bans use of

tanning beds for teens
By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers
voted Wednesday to limit the use of tanning
booths by teens, warning that the bronzed
glow they create comes from radiation and
raises the risk of skin cancer.
The state Senate voted 24-9 to ban indoor
tanning by anyone under age 18, even if they
have permission from an adult. The bill next
goes to the Assembly.
California already bans the use of tanning
booths by those under 14, but older teens
could use them with permission from a parent
or guardian.
The author of SB 746, Sen. Ted Lieu, a
Torrance Democrat, said raising the age will
help protect young teens from exposure to
ultraviolet radiation and increased risk of
melanoma or other potentially deadly cancers.
“The younger kids are when they start using
these tanning beds, the greater the damage to
their skin, and the more likely they are to die
of skin cancer,” Lieu said after the vote.
Opponents said they wanted more scientific
proof that the tanning lamps cause cancer. “I
think the intent makes a lot of sense,” said
Sen. Mark Wyland, R-Solana Beach.
But Wyland said he wanted more specifics,
including details of a recent study that he said
suggested that frequency of exposure to ultra-
violet radiation — from the sun or a tanning
lamp — is a more important factor than the
age of exposure.
Lieu presented studies and support for the
bill in committee discussions, including a pol-
icy statement by the American Academy of
Pediatrics calling for all tanning salons to bar
minors. The group cited research that indicat-
ed that indoor tanners have a 74 percent
greater chance of developing melanoma and
as much as 250 percent greater chance of
developing some other skin cancers. More
than one in three American 17-year-old girls
use indoor tanning, the group said.
Others backing the measure include the
California Medical Association, American
Cancer Society and the AIM at Melanoma
Foundation.
The Indoor Tanning Association opposed
the bill, arguing that the science is inconclu-
sive and teens under 18 make up 5 percent to
10 percent of its members’ customers.
The National Federation of Independent
Business also opposed the measure, saying
the economic downturn had already helped
force about one in five tanning salons to close
and the new restrictions would force more out
of business.
If approved, the California rules would be
the strictest in the nation, Lieu’s office said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Tornadoes
roared through Massachusetts on Wednesday,
including its third-largest city, where debris
slammed into buildings and startled workers
and residents who were heading out for the
evening commute.
The storms killed at least four people
throughout the state, though the governor said
the death toll was preliminary.
The storm pulverized or sheared off the tops
of roofs on Main Street in Springfield, a city
of more than 150,000. A mounted video cam-
era captured dramatic footage of a debris-
filled funnel as it swept into downtown from
the west, then crossed the Connecticut River.
Gov. Deval Patrick declared a state of emer-
gency and called up 1,000 National
Guardsmen after the storms, which brought
scenes of devastation recently wreaked in the
South and Midwest to a part of the country
where such violent weather isn’t a way of life.

of Monson said the storm cleared a view he’s
never seen across the valley where the town

Coach to admit molestation
The Menlo Park junior high volleyball

for five years in prison.
By accepting the court-offered agreement,
William Patrick Giordano, 60, avoided a June
jury trial on 21 molestation charges and a
potential hefty sentence. Giordano engaged in
a lengthy relationship with a 14-year-old girl
between 1991 and 1994 while working at
Jordan Middle School in Palo Alto. He was
also accused of molesting a 13-year-old stu-

Land Company appealed a decision by the San
Mateo County Superior Court to forbid it from
taking part in a lawsuit over a petition to stop its

The land company was seeking the opportuni-
ty to be a party in the lawsuit filed by Friends of
Bay Meadows against the city of San Mateo and
the San Mateo County Elections Office.
However, San Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Mark Forcum barred the Bay Meadows
Land Company from arguing its part in the law-
suit March 7, 2006. The land company wanted
to participate in the lawsuit since the decision
directly affected its development plans.
In November 2005, the San Mateo City

Boulevard with 1,250 residential units, 1.25 mil-

Summit charter approved
A two-year charter petition for Summit
Preparatory High School was approved the
week of June 3, 2006 by the Sequoia Union
High School District.
There were concerns over the school’s
diversity, however everyone agreed Summit
was a viable choice for some students.
All five board members wanted a greater
variety in the student makeup of Summit.
Summit Preparatory High School was char-
tered in 2001 by the Summerville Union High
School District in Tuolumne, Calif. and it
opened its doors in 2003. In 2003, the California
Charter Schools Act was changed to require
almost all charter schools to be within the
boundaries of the district for which the school
was chartered. The change allowed Summit to
maintain its charter until it was up for renewal.

Retain natural trails
Editor,
As a fond and frequent visitor to Wun-
derlich County Park, I was heartbroken
to see my favorite dirt trails newly
paved this morning.
For more than seven years I have run
these trails weekly. At Wunderlich, one
can leave the streets and sidewalks be-
hind and be immersed in the natural
spaces in which we in the Bay Area take
such pride. Running the same trails
more than 300 times puts one in close
familiarity with each root, each rock,
each muddy patch ... and more impor-
tantly, with the subtle natural changes
that happen week to week. The soft,
leaf-covered trails in the fall turn
muddy in the winter rains; spring sees
tender shoots and banana slugs; and in
summer the trails are hard-packed and
cracked. Each footfall over those sea-
sons becomes a tactile connection with
nature. And with pavement, that link is
broken.
So I can’t conceive why some group
wants to ruin such a treasure by paving
it. Who benefits? Not hikers. Not run-
ners. Not those who seek a break from
the asphalt world. Is it truly, as the
ranger told me today, the equestrians? If
horses seek pavement, there are plenty
of other options around.
It’s a sad development, and in search-
ing Google News, I’ve seen nothing
written about it, no announcements, no
request for public comments, no source
of funding for the project. Pavers,
please consider carefully that what you
are doing is ruining the experience for
other users. Let’s share this resource —
this experience — and retain the exist-
ing natural trails.

Statistically, there is a direct correla-

belief in the supernatural. Foti doesn’t
realize the book he refers to is just a
collection of stories that have been writ-
ten, changed and embellished upon by
men long after the alleged events, with-
out eyewitnesses or corroboration from
contemporary historians. The latter
were plentiful back then, writing exten-
sively about various “Messiahs”
walking around, but not a word about
the character Foti seems to be so hung
up on. Followers of his fantasy figure
have caused more wars, misery and
human suffering than any other in the
human history we know, so be careful

Butting in
W
hat’s up your butt? No, really. For a
Washington state health board, the answer is a
series of planned billboards that ask just that
question. The ads, aimed at promoting awareness and
prevention of colorectal cancer, wanted to use that old
standby — humor — to draw attention to a disease
whose pure location make a few squirm and even fewer
check out.
Unfortunately, the use of the butt-centric phrase found
some Washington residents and officials with a stick up
theirs, leading to the reversal on a previous endorsement
of the campaign because they declared it in bad taste.
You know what else is in bad
taste? Dying. Or rather, dying
from something that could have
been caught early if everybody
wasn’t so darn squeamish about
a little probing and, more impor-
tantly, even talking about it.
Say it with me. Butt. Butt.
Butt. Everybody has one, I’m
pretty sure. They also have other
parts that aren’t supposed to be
mentioned in polite company or
by ladies or by children or on
television or in a family newspa-
per.
The bottom line, though, is that the more one says the
term, the more comfortable it becomes, and the more
comfortable it becomes, the less embarrassed one is to
wonder if something might be wrong or ask a doctor to
take a little look-see to make sure.
Perhaps it’s not just the word but the entire phrase that
is causing such a tizzy. If so, those blushing prudes can
stick it, too. Granted, the question may not be the most
politically correct way under any circumstances to
inquire what exactly has gotten under someone’s skin but
it certainly makes a point — as do the billboards.
If a little shock and awe is necessary to grab attention,
so be it. Better a wounded sense of propriety than an
incurable stretch of colon.
This tush tiff is not the first time a sense of whimsy in
public service announcements has collided with the
thought police.
In the not-so-recent past, some school districts drew
the line at students wearing rubber bracelets made popu-
lar by bicyclist Lance Armstrong but announcing “I love
boobs” or the more casual “I love boobies.” The goal?
Breast cancer awareness, much as the tanks and T-shirts
declaring “Save the ta-tas.” Certainly, some of the kids
may have been wearing the bracelets purely for the shock
value or to snicker at using the word “boobs.” The
schools might have some argument for decorum among
particular ages. But what of the students who mix a little
caring with their carousing? Are they really too young to
do both? More importantly, if they begin with frat boy
humor but end knowing what the bracelets really are
about, isn’t that the point for all ages? Isn’t that what the
colon billboards are doing?
It was certainly the goal with the “Happy Heroin
Hints” that used to greet BART riders and bus kiosk
crowds. The ads addressed how to manage that pesky
tooth gnawing or the creepy crawly itching problems.
One encouraged “share needles and risk HIV rather than
miss a single opportunity to get high.” Offered up in
bright colors and daisy patterns, the hints drove home the
ugly side of drug use better than any red ribbon cam-
paign. Maybe the frying pan and egg demo during
Saturday morning cartoons gave it a run for its money,
but still.
Then there were the cartoon penises and condoms, also
in San Francisco, which encouraged men to keep them-
selves safe and STD-free. Same healthy goal, same moral
outrage from the corners where one doesn’t speak of
such things. Certainly, nobody there ever got syphilis or
AIDS, either.
But this is Washington, not the liberal Bay Area, you
say? Fair enough. The issue, though, shouldn’t be the
location — whether that refers to geographical or
anatomical. Cancer doesn’t discriminate based on locale,
unless one buys into the theory of clusters, and neither
should the much-needed efforts to prevent and cure.
Maybe the words colon and butt don’t make one want to
run a marathon and collect pledges the way the lungs and
bones do but that in essence is the problem. Not enough
people are talking about it.
Cancer isn’t funny but that’s no reason why awareness
can’t be.
Those who don’t like it can just close their eyes and
turn the other cheek.

NEW YORK — Fears that the economy

average down 280 points Wednesday,
erasing more than a quarter of the stock
market’s gains for the year. Treasury bond
yields fell to their lowest level since

The Dow Jones industrial average

since June 4 of last year, and the largest

DETROIT — New car buyers looking

Google says Chinese hackers broke into Gmail
SAN FRANCISCO — Google says computer hackers in
China broke into the Gmail accounts of several hundred people,
including senior government officials in the U.S. and political
activists.
Google says all victims have been notified and their accounts
have been secured.
The attacks announced Wednesday on Google’s blog aren’t
believed to be tied to a more sophisticated assault originating
from China in late 2009 and early last year. That intrusion tar-
geted the Google’s own security systems and triggered a high-
profile battle with China’s Communist government over online
censorship.
The tensions escalated amid reports that the Chinese govern-
ment had at least an indirect hand in the hacking attacks, a pos-
sibility that Google didn’t rule out.
In the latest incident, Google believes Chinese hackers
tricked people into sharing their passwords in so-called “phish-

FAA to fine people who point lasers at planes
WASHINGTON — People who point powerful lasers at
planes and helicopters — which can temporarily blind pilots —
could face fines as high as $11,000 per violation, the head of
the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.
The FAA is using a new legal interpretation of existing regu-
lations that prohibit interference with the operation of an air-
craft to levy the fines, Randy Babbitt, the agency’s administra-
tor, said at a news conference.
“It’s simple: Point the laser, pay the price,” Babbitt said.
Pilots have reported over 1,100 such incidents in the U.S. so
far this year, and officials said they are concerned that eventu-
ally there will be an air crash.
The incidents have increased rapidly around the world over
the past six years as online sales of new, powerful handheld
lasers have soared. In 2005, there were fewer than 300 such
incidents reported in the U.S. Last year, there were 2,836 inci-
dents. In some cases pilots have had to relinquish control of an
aircraft to a co-pilot because of vision loss.

Canucks strike first

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Raffi

Torres ended an ugly Stanley Cup finals open-
er with a dramatic flash of beauty for the
Vancouver Canucks.
Torres scored on an exceptional pass from
Jannik Hansen with 18.5 seconds to play, and
the Canucks stunned the Boston Bruins 1-0
Wednesday night.
Roberto Luongo made 36 saves in his third
shutout of the postseason for the Canucks, but
Boston’s Tim Thomas matched him until
Torres — the only Vancouver player with pre-
vious finals experience — slipped through the
defense for a beautiful goal that launched a
wild celebration at Rogers Arena.
“I thought we were going to play all night
the way it was going,” Luongo said. “It was an
exciting way to start the series. It was such a
close game. It could’ve gone either way, a flip
of the coin.”
Thomas stopped 33 shots for the Bruins,
who went scoreless on six power plays.
Boston played outstanding defense until the
NHL’s highest-scoring team finally connected
in the final minute.
Game 2 is Saturday night in Vancouver.
Boston also killed six Canucks power plays
in an outstanding defensive game led by cap-
tain Zdeno Chara, but Torres’ goal ended the
37-year-old Thomas’ shutout streak at just
under 129 minutes. He hadn’t allowed a goal
since Game 6 of the Eastern Conference
finals, shutting out Tampa Bay in Game 7.
Ryan Kesler’s pass set up the final-minute
scoring sequence in a tense, tight-checking
game featuring stellar defense and bad-tem-
pered play by both clubs.
Canucks forward Alex Burrows even
appeared to bite the gloved finger of Boston’s
Patrice Bergeron after the first-period buzzer,
raising the possibility of a suspension for the
Canucks’ rambunctious first-line wing.

A’s drop 10th straight to the Yankees

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Oakland’s new version of
the Big Three pitchers came up awfully small
once again against the New York Yankees.
Gio Gonzalez allowed a three-run homer to
Nick Swisher and the Athletics generated lit-
tle offense against A.J. Burnett as they lost
their 10th straight game to the Yankees, 4-2 on
Wednesday.
The A’s came into the series on a four-game
winning streak with their top three starters
lined up to face the powerful Yankees. But
New York battered Trevor Cahill, Brett
Anderson and Gonzalez for 18 runs in the
three-game sweep.
“As a team you have to attack early and
keep the pressure on them,” Gonzalez said.
“You let them know right off the bat, you are
going to give them everything you got. You
can’t cruise when you think you have them
down. They always seem quick to be able to
get a little rally going. When it’s going their
way, it’s going their way.”
Gonzalez allowed four runs five hits and
four walks in 6 1-3 innings in this game as the
three starters fell to 1-10 with a 7.24 ERA in
their careers against the Yankees.
A.J. Burnett settled down after an early
homer to snap an 11-start winless streak on
the road, Derek Jeter got his 2,984th hit and
Alex Rodriguez drove in a run for the
Yankees, who have their longest winning
streak against the A’s since winning 14 in a
row from 1956-57.
Josh Willingham hit a two-run home run
and Gio Gonzalez (5-3) took his first loss
since April for Oakland, which was swept by
the Yankees in a three-game series and has lost
23 of the last 26 meetings against New York.

nance over another team in our league,” A’s
manager Bob Geren said. “The pitching is too
good. It’s more of a coincidence. We don’t

So only the devilish teasers were
even considering a Lott-like ampu-

Nowitzki took the practice court
wearing a splint to keep the finger
straight and figures it’ll be mostly a
nuisance for the next month or two.
He and shooting coach Holger
Geschwindner were planning their
own workout later Wednesday to
see which moves Nowitzki can and
can’t make and to come up with
ways to compensate, starting with

Both teams entered their first
playoff meeting looking to end
lengthy Stanley Cup droughts.
Vancouver has never won the NHL
title in four decades of existence,
losing its only two trips to the finals
in 1982 and 1994. Boston has lost
five straight finals since winning in
1972.
After a full week off, the
Canucks came out with palpable
energy from a crowd that shook the
arena violently enough to dislodge
a bit of confetti left over from the
Western Conference finals onto the

Nowitzki was hurt trying to strip
the ball from Chris Bosh with a lit-
tle under 4 minutes left in the open-
er. He knew something serious was
wrong because he couldn’t straight-

“mallet finger” and generally takes
six to eight weeks to heal.
With only quick, courtside treat-
ment, Nowitzki managed to his 1 of
2 shots and all four free throws after
the incident. He was 6 of 16 while
healthy.
Because the problem is on
Nowitzki’s non-shooting hand,
most of what he does will not be

But some of his game will be.
He likes to drive to his left, drib-
bling hard to get to his favorite
shooting spots or taking it all the
way to the rim. It also could affect
him on defense; don’t expect him to
swipe down on the ball with the
ferocity he did on the play when he
was injured.
“I think once the game starts, the
adrenaline starts flowing, I don’t
think it will really slow me down
much,” Nowitzki said. “I’m not
really worried about it.”
Maybe he should be.
Because Miami knows where he’s
hurting, and everyone knows how
much Nowitzki means to Dallas, it
only makes sense that guys are
The Bruins again were hurt by
their terrible power play, which
managed just five goals in 61
chances in the Eastern Conference

Boston got nine shots without a

advantage for 1:32 early in the sec-
ond period. Luongo was outstand-

win the Stanley Cup on the same
ice where he backstopped Canada
to the gold medal in last year’s
Olympics.
The Canucks started to turn the
game in their favor in the third peri-
od.
Christian Ehrhoff’s pinpoint pass
set up Hansen for a breakaway early
in the third, but Thomas coolly
stopped his low shot, prompting
Hansen to slam his stick into the
glass in frustration. Maxim Lapierre

Teammate Jason Terry said some

French Open defending champion Rafael Nadal celebrates his quarterfinal win Wednesday
at Roland Garros against the only man he’s lost to there,two-time runner up Robin Soderling.
Nadal keeps moving
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — At last, Rafael Nadal sounded
satisfied.
Then again, what could he possibly have
complained about Wednesday? The five-time
French Open champion reached the semifi-
nals and improved his career record at Roland
Garros to 43-1 with a clean-as-can-be 6-4, 6-
1, 7-6 (3) victory over the only man he’s ever
lost to there, two-time runner-up Robin
Soderling.
“Today, I played better. Much better, in my
opinion,” Nadal said. “It was nothing secret,
nothing magic. ... I found a lot of solutions.”
After Nadal’s previous match, he chided
himself for not hitting the ball with conviction
and fretted that his level of tennis wasn’t good
enough to win the tournament a sixth time,
which would tie Bjorn Borg’s record for the
most by a man in history.
Against Soderling, Nadal was at his “King
of Clay” best.
He scrambled along the baseline to dig out
and get back shots that would be winners
against most anyone else. He went from
defense to offense in a blink, winning 14 of
the first 19 points that lasted at least 10
strokes, according to the AP’s tally. He made
a hard-to-believe 13 unforced errors total;
Soderling made 41. Nadal broke in each of
the first two games the 6-foot-4 Soderling
served, six times in all.
“He played really good. It’s the first match
this tournament that he played well all the
time,” said Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and
coach. “Well, only in the third set was I a lit-
tle worried. But it was very good for us
today.”

on No. 4 Andy Murray, who became only the

the French Open semifinals by beating
unseeded Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina 7-
6 (2), 7-5, 6-2. Murray’s been playing with a
torn tendon in his right ankle since twisting it
in the third round, and he trailed Chela 4-1,
then 5-3, before saving two set points and
turning the match around.
“Just a really scrappy match,” said Murray,
who is 0-3 in Grand Slam finals. “I didn’t
start particularly well and then got a little bit
better, started moving a bit better, towards the
end of the first set.”
The other men’s semifinal is No. 2 Novak
Djokovic, who is 41-0 in 2011 and has won
43 consecutive matches overall, against No. 3
Roger Federer, owner of a record 16 Grand
Slam titles.
It’s the 12th time in the history of the Open
era, which began in 1968, that the top four
seeded men reached the semifinals at a Grand
Slam tournament — and first since the 2006
French Open.
In contrast, none of the top four seeded
players will participate in the women’s semi-
finals Thursday, when No. 5 Francesca
Schiavone of Italy, the defending champion,
faces No. 11 Marion Bartoli of France, and
No. 6 Li Na of China meets No. 7 Maria
Sharapova of Russia.
For Sharapova, who had right shoulder sur-
gery in October 2008, it’s her first major
semifinal in more than three years, and she is
bidding to complete a career Grand Slam. She
won Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S. Open in
2006, and the Australian Open in 2008, but
never has been to a final in Paris.
“I put a lot of work in to be in this stage of
the Grand Slams,” Sharapova said after beat-
ing No. 15 Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-0,

Nets guard Sasha Vujacic, in the stands. “I’m

Pryor is being investigated by the NCAA
for the cars he has driven over his three
years as a Buckeye, The Columbus
Dispatch has reported. The newspaper also
said NCAA investigators are looking into
more than 50 vehicle transactions involving
Ohio State athletes, their families and
friends and two Columbus dealerships.
Said Lindsey Bohrer, a communications
officer for the Ohio Department of Public
Safety: “Our records do not indicate that
(Pryor) has driving privileges in Ohio.”
Pryor was photographed driving a used
Nissan 350Z valued between $16,000 and
$27,000 to and from the team meeting on
Monday night. He drove the same car to a
workout on Wednesday.
His driving suspension took effect on
May 20 and runs through Aug. 18. To regain
his driving privileges after that, he will need
to pay a $150 reinstatement fee, get insur-
ance and carry a special card for high-risk
drivers signifying that the driver is covered
by insurance.
NHL might realign
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia —
Commissioner Gary Bettman believes the
NHL will adopt a more balanced schedule
when the relocated Winnipeg franchise likely
moves to the Western Conference in 2012.
In his annual state-of-the-league address
before the Stanley Cup finals opener
Wednesday, Bettman also
said he hopes the NHL
will begin issuing harsher
suspensions for rough
play.
Bettman is grateful his
league doesn’t have the
specter of labor talks
hanging over an otherwise
successful season. He
Gary Bettman plans to let the labor
impasses in the NFL and
the NBA play out before hammering out hock-
ey’s next collective bargaining agreement with
union head Donald Fehr, who attended the
commissioner’s address.
“The good news, at least from my stand-
point, is that it’s way too early to focus on col-
lective bargaining,” Bettman said at Rogers
Arena.
Bettman confirmed the relocated Atlanta
Thrashers will be the northwesternmost team
in the Southeast Division next season in
Winnipeg, but likely will move to the West a
year later.
That shift will set off several dominoes of
realignment: Columbus, Nashville and Detroit
are among the candidates to move to the
Eastern Conference, while other teams will
attempt to make sure they don’t get a compet-
itive disadvantage through the move, perhaps
with the powerful Red Wings moving into
their division.
“All those clubs need an opportunity to be
heard,” Bettman said. “That’s a process we’ll
go through the first half of next season, look-
ing at the issues that clubs want to raise, look-
ing at various possibilities, and trying to figure
Aggressive Cremation Group:
Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…
Using visual tricks “Smart Cremation”
has been printing materials which are
specific to certain targeted Seniors such as
using flower envelopes mailed to women

out what will make the most sense moving
forward.”
Bettman believes those discussions will
result in a more balanced schedule, perhaps
closer to the NBA model in which every team
plays at least once in every arena almost every
season. The NHL went to an unbalanced
schedule several years ago in an attempt to
bolster geographical rivalries, but Bettman has
heard from teams eager to see the entire NHL
in their arenas.
While touting the league’s roughly $3 bil-
lion in revenue through record-setting spon-
sorship deals and television contracts,
Bettman also praised NHL discipline chief
Colin Campbell, who is handing over that
thankless job to Brendan Shanahan as the
league looks at additional ways to crack down
on rough play and dangerous hits.
That crackdown could include harsher
penalties at Shanahan’s disposal for supple-
mental discipline.
“That is my hope and expectation,” Bettman
said. “That is something that we want to dis-
cuss more fully with the players’ association,
but from my standpoint ... if there’s certain
conduct that we want to see out of the game,
then we’ve got to make sure we do what’s nec-
essary.”
Bettman hopes the players’ union will see
harsher supplemental discipline as an attempt
to keep players healthy. Shanahan will head a
new department of player safety dedicated to
creating new rules and disciplinary concepts
to keep players safe.
Fehr was more circumspect about the possi-
bility of tougher suspensions and additional
penalties for his players.
“Hopefully as a result of examinations
we’ve been doing ... we’ll be able to come out
of this with a set of understandings that gives
you a process that everybody believes in,”
Fehr said. “Somebody is always going to say
it’s not perfect. That gets (into) judgment
calls, but that’s the way it is. The question is,
do you have a process that everybody believes
is fair and has been implemented fairly?”
Advertisement
and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,
etc., all meant to be subliminally enticing.
Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.
There are too many particulars about
“Smart Cremation” to list here, but on the
internet you can read the entire report for
yourself along with comments on legal
troubles from concerned consumers at:

services/smart-cremation-jerr/smart-

I have to emphasize that if you are
looking into cremation or funeral matters
please please do your homework and call
your local Funeral Home, compare their
services and ask questions. Go to a Funeral
Director who is well known in the
community. Please don’t become a “target”
and allow these out of state mailings to lure
you in with misleading messages. They will
send sales people to your home who will
then be hard to get rid of without your
signature on a contract.
To conclude, here are all my best wishes
to you, your family and loved ones.

planning arrangements please feel free to

Shaquille O’Neal calls it a career via Twitter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — He was a prolific
producer of rebounds and record
albums. And nicknames, too, as if at
7-foot-1 and 350 pounds he was too
big for the simple “Shaq” that made
him an instantly recognizable, one-
name star in all of his endeavors.
Shaquille O’Neal had more than
28,000 points and almost 4 million
Twitter followers. He appeared in
six NBA finals, three times as the
MVP, and seven feature films, twice
in a starring role.
A 15-time All-Star, four-time
champion and the 2000 NBA Most
Valuable Player, the 39-year-old
O’Neal announced his retirement on
Twitter on Wednesday after spend-
ing most of his 19th season on the
Boston Celtics bench, in street
clothes because of leg injuries.
Along with a mid-afternoon tweet
saying, “im retiring,” O’Neal
included a link to a 16-second video
of him saying, “We did it; 19 years,
baby. Thank you very much. That’s
why I’m telling you first: I’m about
to retire. Love you. Talk to you
soon.”
An inveterate prankster who gave
himself a new nickname — or sev-
eral — in each of his six NBA cities,
O’Neal did not notify his latest
team, leaving it wondering about his
plans. He played just 37 games this
season, the first of a two-year deal at
the veteran’s minimum salary, mak-
ing just three brief appearances after
Feb. 1.
“He’s a giant,” commissioner
David Stern said Wednesday at the
NBA finals in Miami. “He’s physi-
cally imposing; he has an imposing
smile. In the game, he imposed his
will, and he has done it for quite a
long time. It’s been a great run, and
we’re going to miss him greatly. We
hope we can find ways to keep him
involved in the game.”
O’Neal, 39, retires fifth all-time
with 28,596 points, 12th with
13,099 rebounds, and a .582 field
goal percentage that is second only
to Artis Gilmore among players
with more than 2,000 baskets. His
free throw percentage of .527 —
well, now is not the time to dwell on
that.
“I’m a little bit sad,” said Heat
president Pat Riley, who also
coached O’Neal when he won a title
in Miami and watched Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Patrick Ewing and
Alonzo Mourning when they
retired. “It’s been an honor to be
part of coaching great, great play-
ers. And he will go down as one of
the greatest of all time.”
Appropriately, O’Neal’s retire-
ment became the No. 1 trending

O’Neal signed with the Los
Angeles Lakers in 1996 and had his
greatest success there, winning
three titles alongside Kobe Bryant
and coach Phil Jackson. But amid
tension between O’Neal and Bryant
after a loss to the Detroit Pistons in
the finals, O’Neal was traded to the
Heat in the summer of 2004.

GOP presses Obama Scores killed in deadly
on spending Medicare Yemen street battles
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Face to face at the
White House, GOP leaders complained to
President Barack Obama on Wednesday that
he had not produced a detailed plan of spend-
ing cuts and accused him of playing politics
over Medicare as the
nation careens toward a
debt crisis.
The White House said
Obama has in fact led on
the issue and made clear
that he has no intention of
dropping what Democrats
believe is a winning politi-
cal issue: accusing the
Barak Obama GOP of trying to destroy
the popular health care
program for seniors.
“He doesn’t believe that we need to end
Medicare as we know it,” said press secretary
Jay Carney.
Republicans said their plan would save
Medicare, not end it, and they in turn accused
Obama of failing to present any proposals to
preserve Medicare or drive down deficits at
all.
“Unfortunately what we did not hear from
the president is a specific plan,” said Rep. Jeb
Hensarling, R-Texas.

Obama abandons wilderness plan
WASHINGTON — Under pressure from
Congress, the Obama administration is back-
ing away from a plan to make millions of
acres of undeveloped land in the West eligible
for federal wilderness protection.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a
memo Wednesday that officials will work with
members of Congress to develop recommen-
dations for managing millions of acres of
undeveloped land in the West.
“The protection of America’s wilderness for
hunting, fishing and backcountry recreation
should be a unifying issue that mobilizes us to
a common purpose,” Salazar said. “We will
focus our effort on building consensus around
locally supported initiatives.”
Shuttle program nearing end
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s 30-
year shuttle program inched closer to the end
Wednesday, wrapping up its second-to-last mis-
sion and moving Atlantis to the launch pad for
next month’s final flight.
Endeavour and its six astronauts returned to
NATION / WORLD
At the heart of the dispute is an Aug. 2 dead-
line to raise the government’s borrowing limit
or risk an unprecedented credit default that the
White House and even many Republicans say
would be disastrous for the U.S. economy.
Republicans are refusing to approve the debt-
limit increase without ordering spending cuts
topping a trillion dollars at the same time. The
White House is insisting that in addition to
spending restraint the deficit trimming must
include tax increases that Republicans say are
off the table.
In the heat of early June, August looked a
long way away Wednesday and it seemed
clear that plenty of political posturing lay
ahead before deadline pressure would induce
the parties to step up with real talks. Actual
negotiations are being led in private by Vice
President Joe Biden and a much smaller group
of lawmakers who have recently expressed
confidence they’ll be able to identify at least
$1 trillion in cuts over the next decade.
Negotiators are considering reductions in stu-
dent loan subsidies, farm payments and sup-
port for federal workers’ pensions. The Biden
group next meets June 9.
Wednesday allowed the president a private
face-to-face meeting with his Capitol Hill
antagonists, and more than that a chance for
both sides to recite now familiar political
points. A key topic was Medicare, the massive
government health insurance program for
Americans 65 and older.

Endeavour commander Mark Kelly — whose
wife, wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords,
remained behind at her rehab center in Houston
— brought Endeavour to a stop before hundreds
of onlookers that included the four Atlantis
astronauts.
Endeavour, the youngest of the shuttles with
123 million miles over 25 flights, is now bound
for a museum in California.
N.Y. rep: I didn’t send Twitter photo
WASHINGTON — Anthony Weiner’s
attempt Wednesday to end the media storm
surrounding a lewd photo sent from his
Twitter account to a female college student
only stirred up the situation as he denied send-
ing the picture.
“We know for sure I didn’t send this photo-
graph,” the seven-term congressman told
reporters in the Capitol. But he told MSNBC
he “can’t say with certitude” that the waist-
down photo showing a man’s bulging under-
pants wasn’t him.

Roof gardeners keep things light By Sean O’Driscoll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — On the roof
of the Glide Memorial Church here,
gardeners use wine boxes and coconut
cores. In Philadelphia, they plant
between the roofs of row houses. In
New York City, one homeowner
installed steel beams.
As more people turn to roof gardens
to grow their own food, they are com-
ing up with all kinds of ways to keep
those plots light, and avoid roof sag-
ging and cave-ins.
“Weight is a huge factor,” says
Josephine Quiocho, a project organiz-
er at Graze The Roof, a community
garden that grows spinach, mustard,
kale, sweat peas and other crops on
Glide Memorial’s roof.
Graze The Roof has perfected an
ultra-light “soil” that includes coconut
core and perlite, a volcanic mineral
that aerates plants. “The coconut core
allows more air into the soil, lightens
it up and helps trap moisture. We
don’t need heavy, water-clogged soil
that can weigh on your roof,”
Quiocho says.
The Glide Memorial farmers grow
their crops in bread boxes and wine
boxes, in part because the boxes are
light, in part to show congregants that
they can grow plants in containers
found around the house.
In New York, Lize Mogel took a
structural approach: She had five steel
Roof gardeners fight a constant battle against weighing down the roof, beams constructed under her roof so
causing sagging and cave-ins. she could begin planting a roof farm
later this year. Mogel, an artist who
has grown roof crops for years,
always dreamed of having a full roof
farm.
“I had to do renovations anyway, so
I spoke to the architect and it didn’t
cost that much more to reinforce the
roof,” she says. “Because the steel
beams will be attached directly to the
gratings on which I’ll grow the crops,
the gratings can take a massively
heavy load. I could raise elephants up
there if I want.”
For urban farmers with weaker
roofs, shaving off every pound of
extra weight is a hobby in itself.
Jay Sand, a coordinator with the
Philadelphia Rooftop Farm, is work-
ing with “farmers who want to be
architects and architects who want to
be farmers” to transform the city’s
roofs. After many hours of study,
Sand and his group focused on
expanding cooperative efforts across
Philadelphia’s famous row houses.
“We decided not to grow on twin
roofs, where one brick wall is
shared between two houses. For the
next growing season, we’re focused
on row houses with two brick walls
between houses. They are absolute-
ly perfect because you can hold a lot
of support,” says Sand, a music
teacher.
His group is now talking to block
captains and resident groups to get
more people involved this year.
“I use a light wooden platform to
grow my own crops,” says Sand. “If
we want to expand the project, we’d
like to spread loads between peo-
ple’s roofs.”
In Chicago, Heidi Hough, who co-
writes a blog for rooftop farmers
c a l l e d
greenroofgrowers.blogspot.com, has
turned her passion for urban agricul-
ture into a search for the perfect light-
weight roof garden.
Above her home, she grows plants
on wooden platforms, which helps
take pressure off the roof. A local hot-
dog factory also gives her plastic pick-
le barrels which she “recycles and
upcycles” to make planters for vegeta-
bles. Hough and some friends have
developed an irrigation system that
requires little soil and water, vastly
reducing the weight of the farm.
“You can buy very good, light-
weight irrigation boxes, but we just
looked around and copied the system
with our own material,” she says.
Hough grows her plants with one 5-
gallon bucket planted inside another,
minimizing the amount of water used
and reducing the weight on the roof.
She uses lightweight peat moss and
vermiculite, a mineral often used in
soil-less gardens.
Because roof farmers only use as
much water as they need, they have to
be wary of evaporation.
Hough uses a plastic covering over
her peat-moss mix to stop evaporation,
while Johanne Daoust, a Toronto roof
farmer, uses “shade cloths” she spot-
ted for sale while traveling in China.
The cloths block the sun while allow-
ing a free flow of air to the plants.

Sweet corn is not just for farms

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rumor has it the place to grow
sweet corn is in a farm field.
Backyard gardens, the reasoning
goes, generally are not large enough
to make the harvest worth it, and
pollination problems are likely with
small plantings.
Well, ‘tain’t necessarily so. By
choosing varieties with care, provid-
ing good growing conditions and
using a few special tricks, you can
harvest one ear of the best-tasting
corn imaginable for each square
foot planted.
Variety selection is important for
scrumptious sweet corn. If space is
at a premium, grow varieties —
Golden Midget, Earlivee and
Quickie, for example — that ripen
quickly and have shorter stalks.
But also choose varieties for fla-
vor. Yellow corns generally have
“cornier” flavor, white corns a purer
sweetness. Varieties such as Honey
& Cream and Bodacious pack both
yellow and white kernels into each
of their ears. My favorite? Golden
Bantam.
Space considerations
No need for garden space to be
devoted only to corn. Before the
corn goes in, while temperatures
were still cool, you could have
planted radishes, leaf lettuce,
spinach, arugula and other quick
maturing vegetables that enjoy cool
weather. At the other end of the sea-
son, after corn harvest, you could
plant bush beans, late cabbage or
broccoli, as well as the vegetables
mentioned to precede corn.
Getting corn in and out of the
ground fast frees space for other
vegetables. Corn varieties that
mature quickly are one way to do
this, but avoid growing only early
maturing varieties because their fla-
vor generally is not as good as that
of longer ripening varieties.
You also could get your corn in
and out quicker by planting seeds in
3-inch pots, and letting plants spend
three to four weeks growing in those
pots rather than taking up space out
in the garden.
Easy going
Corn is a hungry plant that needs
rich, moist soil and at least six hours
per day of sunlight. Close planting
without attention to soil and water
results in nubbins rather than
plump, well-filled ears. So add plen-
ty of compost to the soil along with

How to maintain pets and your home
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Writer Jean Cocteau once mused, “I
love cats because I enjoy my home; lit-
tle by little, they become its visible
soul.” Dog owners feel the same way.
The downside of sharing our homes
with pets, of course, is dirt, hair and
odors. How to keep things chic and
clean and still have room for Spot?
Designers and manufacturers offer
some ideas.

a high nitrogen fertilizer, such as 2

For close planting, grow corn in
double rows of “hills,” a hill being a
cluster of three or four plants. Hills
ensure good pollination. Space each
row of that double row 2 feet apart,

with your pet. If you have a black Lab,
for the sake of your sanity, don’t pick a
cream-colored sofa,” she says.
Cats’ independent streak makes
them difficult to train; better to just
work around them. “Floor lamps with
heavy bases. Glass tops for fragile fin-
ishes. And a good scratching post!” she
counsels.
Pets sleep a lot during the day —
dogs about 13 hours, cats several more
— so bedding is key.
“Most dogs like to stretch out on rec-
tangular beds that keep their shape,
with defined edges for hanging one’s
head over,” says Julia Szabo, author of
“Pretty Pet-Friendly: Easy Ways to
Keep Spot’s Digs Stylish and Spotless”
(Howell, 2009).
with 2 feet between hills. You won’t
be able to walk between the double
row, but you can harvest from each
side. If you garden in beds, just
plant two or more rows of hills
down the length of each of your
beds.
Once up and growing, corn needs
little but regular care. Keep weeds at
bay with shallow hoeing or by
smothering them beneath a thick
mulch of some organic material
such as leaves, straw or compost.

She recommends a polar-fleece,
futon-style bed by Bowser “that’s tuft-
ed, so the insides don’t shift.
Burrowing dogs, such as dachshunds,
should have a small blanket they can
snuggle under. Cats prefer a round con-
cave nest.”
Pet beds should be placed away
from drafty, high-traffic zones, which
can disrupt rest and lead to health prob-
lems.
William Wegman, the photographer
best known for Weimaraner portraits,
has designed a fun line of illustrated

Szabo says floor maintenance is
another priority. Elevate your pets’

and less mess. Moderntails.com has a

If you are inexperienced at harvest-

“People may splurge on an ellipti-

they’ve proven to themselves that
they’re serious about working out,”
notes Herman.
Tara has done some large and
elaborate home gyms, complete
with remote lighting and sound, tilt-
mounted TVs, climate control and a
steam room. Fridges, ballet bars and
color-matched equipment are often
added.
For a typical home, she advises
putting the workout area “where you
like to spend your time. Better to put
it in a corner of the living room than
in the bedroom — that’s where you
go to sleep.”
She also advises against ordering
a complicated, multi-component
piece from an infomercial. “Eight
cartons show up with 3,000 pieces
you have to put together. Once
assembled, they’re often too big for
the space, too complicated, and
noisy.” Try out equipment in fitness
or sporting goods stores; read online
reviews.
If you’re strapped for both cash
and space, a mat, some weights and
a couple of towels will do, says
Tara. “Just get yourself moving. You
don’t need all the gizmos. There are

tion stalled in Congress last year but
backers have indicated they will try

The state Assembly approved the
other half of the package last month,
allowing illegal immigrant students
to receive private financial aid. That
bill drew extensive debate on the
floor; Wednesday’s debate was
more muted and limited as the
Assembly raced through a long cal-
of season.
Here are some tips:
• Clean.
Wash your windows to remove
winter’s grime. Clean windows on a

They’re easy to vacuum, lift up to wash
or replace, and won’t damage the floor.
Choose vinyl flooring that doesn’t off-
gas VOCs; some pets, and people, are
chemical sensitive.
Indeed, it’s best to stay away from
highly perfumed pet products altogeth-
er. Remember that animals have keen
smell receptors. Clean pet areas with
green products that have little or no
endar to meet legislative deadlines
this week.
Critics argued that AB 131 would
encourage more illegal immigration
and cut the education funding avail-
able for citizens. They contend that
it makes no sense to educate immi-
grants for jobs they would not legal-
ly be permitted to hold.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-
Twin Peaks, who has made immi-
gration one of his legislative priori-
ties, argued that a large number of
Internet searches for information on
the bill came from China.
“If you offer a benefit, people will
come,” he said. “Do we want to
have a lot more people coming here
illegally?”
For curtains and drapes, use a soft
brush or dusting attachment to a vac-
uum cleaner. “Set on reduced suction
to prevent fabric from being drawn
into the nozzle,” the magazine said.
Screens also should be cleaned.
• Consider switching to lighter
window treatments.
Fabrics help determine the feel of a
room. If you have storage space,
scent (such as Sun & Earth or Earth
Friendly Products), and for fabrics, try
Get Serious, a stain and odor extractor
that many pet owners swear by.
Get creative about where you store
the treats and gear. Look for clear jars
(so you can track contents) with lock-
ing lids; attractive baskets; and wash-
able storage totes that coordinate with
room decor.
Supporters of the bill have argued
that students shouldn’t be punished
because their parents decided to
enter the United States illegally, and
that educated immigrants would be
ready to join the work force once
comprehensive immigration
reforms are approved.
If approved by the Senate and
signed by the governor, AB 131
would take effect July 1, 2012. The
bill would expand eligibility for
state-administered financial aid to
qualified immigrant students who
have attended a California second-
ary school for at least three years,
including one year of high school.
The measure includes restrictions

Layering window treatments is one
way to make them work all year.
Sheers, blinds or shades layered
underneath those heavy drapes will
let light in yet still provide privacy.
Szabo, who writes a Pets column for
The New York Post, notes several new
technologies to help keep pets safe.
General Motors is developing an alarm
that will sound if you leave a pet or
child in the car, she says. She also likes
the PetFinder, from FinderProducts:
“It’s a high-tech ID tag system that
could help reunite you with Spot if s/he

student awards for legal California
residents doesn’t shrink, and limits
the award of competitive Cal Grant
funds to immigrants. Applications
for competitive Cal Grants already
exceed the amount of money avail-
able, so it’s unlikely that immigrant
students would have a chance for
them.
But other aid and program
changes would add at least an esti-
mated $14 million in General Fund
costs and could change the mix of
students who receive institutional
aid from the University of
California and California State
University systems, and the
amounts they receive.

It was in sixth grade that Shum began
a long career in athletics. She joined bas-
ketball because, well, it wasn’t really a
girlie or a guy sport.
“I was always the worst player on the
best team,” she said.
At the same time, Shum began running
short distance events for track.
At South San Francisco High School,
Shum mixed up her sporting events. She
stayed with track through junior year but
dropped basketball for tennis. Never
having played before, she gave tennis a
try and enjoyed playing doubles. Shum
ended high school as captain of her team.
At the city’s annual Day in the Park
event, Shum saw a booth that caught her
eye — police explorers. The volunteer
program introduces youth to local police
departments. A nine-weekend training
program taught Shum first aid, CPR and
how to shoot a gun. Throughout high
school, Shum remained with the organi-
zation, which requires 10 hours of volun-
teer service a month. The explorers also
work community event like the Easter
egg hunt or when Santa comes to visit

Over the four years, Shum also had a
chance to attend a four-day leadership
camp over the summer. She began help-

recently earned the highest designation
— lieutenant — given to the young vol-
unteers.

of one day becoming a lawyer. Acting as

being challenged to think on her feet.
Junior year added clubs to Shum’s
already busy schedule. She joined Math
Club, the Filipino American Club and
the California Scholarship Federation. It
wasn’t until senior year that Shum’s
schedule opened up and allowed her to
once again join student government as
the associated student body secretary.
She also decided to audition for the

with track. The gamble paid off for
Shum, who was cast as Lucy. The per-

FARM
Continued from page 1
has now applied for the proper permit
that allows entertainment and recreation
on the farm.
The county’s planning department has
decided after reviewing the case that
Arata can indeed continue to operate its
maze and other attractions but only if it
meets certain conditions, said Tiare
Pena, with the county’s planning depart-
ment.
To keep operating the hay maze,
Gounalakis will have to greatly reduce
its size, limit the hours of operation and
confine all parking on the farm’s prem-
ises — perhaps the biggest restriction,
Pena said. The farm is a little less than
nine acres and the hay maze takes up
about a quarter of it when completed.
During the farm’s peak season, parked
cars stretch down Verde Road and onto
Highway 1 for almost a mile,
Gounalakis said.
The San Mateo Planning Commission
will meet June 8 to decide whether to
approve the permits.
Gounalakis will have to get a handle
Pena said. If the permits are approved,
the county will monitor the farm to
ensure it meets the conditions, she said.
Gounalakis has also kept the farm
open until late over the years and
requested the county to allow the farm to
operate until 11 p.m. every day.
The county, however, will only permit
the farm to stay open until 6 p.m. during
the week and 9 p.m. on Saturdays. In
October, however, the county will per-
mit the farm to stay open until 7 p.m.
during the week and 11 p.m. on
Saturdays, Pena said.
The massive stack of hay bales, cov-
ered in black tarps in the offseason, will
also have to be broken down and no
flashing lights will be allowed, Pena
said.
Gounalakis grows pumpkins, straw-
berries and corn on the farm, land the
county considers to be “prime” soil.
Entertainment uses on the land should
be “secondary,” Pena said.
But growing pumpkins is not enough
to sustain the farm, Gounalakis said.
“We have found a unique way to stay
in business,” he said.
The farm has a petting zoo, gladiator
battles, pony rides and other attractions
and hosts school field trips in the fall.
to attract those hard-to-please teenagers,
Gounalakis said.
“They make a game of it and it gets
competitive. They try to beat their times
so we make it a real challenge,” he said.
“Teens actually drag their parents here.”
Gounalakis, who is Greek, also adds
Greek mythology touches throughout
the farm to add an educational aspect to
the experience.
Currently, Gounalakis and his staff are
constructing a giant replica of Rome’s
Colosseum out of hay bales in the center
of the farm.
Most of the farm, however, is devoted
to agriculture, he said.
“People should be allowed to have fun
and that is what this is,” Gounalakis
said. “We’ve had to do what we’ve had
to do to keep this place from failing.”
If the county Planning Commission
denies the permit June 8, Gounalakis
can appeal the decision to the county
Board of Supervisors and then ultimate-
ly the California Coastal Commission,
Pena said.
The farm first opened in 1932.

away the largest number of jobs, the
equivalent of 2.3 percent of local jobs,
while bringing back just 1.3 percent.
Manufacturing is also key to employment
growth through expansions but it does not
exceed the number of dying businesses.
Business startups are a significant factor
in the county economy, averaging about
10 percent of the existing number of estab-
lishments. The figure is below the state
and Bay Area average but still high for the
county. The county is also a large draw for
venture capital funding, exceeded only by

Santa Clara County in 2010.
The analysis is a different approach to
understanding the county because the
findings can be used to track the hows and
whys of labor forces whereas U.S. Census
figures don’t take reasons into considera-
tion, Foust said.
For instance, the county’s churn rate
would typically be considered high but
in San Mateo County it proves the
assumption the county is dynamic and
heavy with innovation.
“Everybody says we are but here is the
data that backs that up,” she said.
Understanding the county’s economy
also tells the story of who it is and what it
has to offer business looking for a new
home or looking to expand, she said.
“We are so much more than just the
place between San Francisco and San
Jose,” she said.

MONTBLANC.
THE TIMEWRITERS.

In 1821, Nicolas Rieussec changed watchmaking forever with the

invention of the first chronograph. Since “chronograph” literally
means “writing time”, the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph
rewrites timepiece history. Crafted in the Montblanc Manu-
facture in Le Locle, Switzerland, this masterpiece is a worthy tri-
bute to its visionary namesake. Monopusher chronograph,
self-winding manufacture movement. 30 min. and 60 sec. rotating disc
counters fixed on the counter bridge.
