A rabbis declaration that he is an
Islamaphobe and an accompany-
ing speech at a Tea Party forum in
San Mateo earlier this month has
been called racist and hateful by the
state chapter of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations.
Rabbi Nachum Shifren and all the
other candidates
for U.S. Senate
were invited to a
c a n d i d a t e s
forum May 3 at
the American
Legion Hall in
San Mateo, co-
sponsored by the
San Mateo
C o u n t y
Republican Party and My Liberty, a
local Tea Party group.
Shifren told a cheering audience,
I am an Islamaphobe and every-
thing we need to know about Islam,
we learned on 9/11.
Segments of his seven-minute
speech have been posted on
YouTube.
When asked directly by the Daily
Journal Tuesday, Shifren respond-
ed: Did I say that?
He told the Daily Journal that he
is not an Islamaphobe but stood by
his comments about 9/11.
I may have made the comment in
the heat of the moment, Shifren
said. Im a Jew. I hate no one. Im
not a racist. I dont hate Muslims.
The group calling him a racist,
CAIR, might be racist themselves,
Shifren said.
My Liberty and the local GOP
invited as many candidates as they
could to the May 3 forum, including
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who did
not attend.
Most did not show but a handful
did including Dr. David Levitt and
third-party candidate Marsha
Feinland from the Peace and
Rabbis speech called hateful

The countys mosquito
control district, which
has been publicly scru-
tinized for alleged
embezzlement by
two former nance
employees, calls any
further talk of its dis-
solution unwarranted
and argues that reor-
ganizing its structure
could be counterproduc-
tive to protecting the public health.
In a May 14 letter to the Local
Agency Formation Commission
board, an attorney for the Mosquito
and Vector Control District urges the
special district oversight committee
to conclude the agency is best left as
is. Preserving the status quo lets the
district implement ... corrective
measures and focus on its important
mission, wrote Joan L.
Cassman of firm
HansonBridgett.
The LAFCo board
this afternoon is
scheduled to hold a
public hearing on its
review of the dis-
tricts governance and
finances although
Executive Director
Martha Poyatos is recom-
mending it delay a decision until
after a nal report that will include
those comments, submitted written
comments on the draft evaluation
and Cassmans letter.

Carlmont High is the lone com-
prehensive school in the Sequoia
Union High School District without
lights to host evening sporting
events something that could soon
change.
The Belmont campus could host
night games in the fall, but rst the
board must approve a mitigated neg-
ative declaration. The environmen-
tal report goes before the board
tonight. If approved, plans would be
on track to install lights over the
summer which would allow for
evening games to begin in the fall.
Board President Alan Sarver
noted the district held a meeting
Tuesday night to discuss plans with
neighbors who live within a half-
mile radius before it goes to the
board.
Previously, neighbors had sent a
formal letter to the district about
concerns for the project such as
excess noise and crowds.
Tamara Galanter, a San Francisco
attorney representing concerned
Craneld Avenue residents, said the
neighbors and districts have been
working together. She hoped a reso-
lution on all issues could be reached
before tonights vote.
The district is proposing installa-
tion of permanent eld lights, a pub-
lic address system, a new 456-seat
bleacher seating system, associated
utilities and, possibly, a parking lot
with capacity for between 40 to 75
vehicles on the schools campus,
located at 1400 Alameda de las
Pulgas, according to the mitigated
Carlmont lights on track

The U.S. Senate failed by one vote to
convict President Andrew Johnson as it
took its rst ballot on the eleven articles
of impeachment against him.
Work is about a search for daily meaning as
well as daily bread, for recognition as well as
cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in
short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday
through Friday sort of dying.

Taylor Evans understands what it means to
get a second chance.
I was never an easy kid, she said.
The 17-year-old had a lot on her plate a
large family, helping with her disabled moth-
er and, for a while, some issues with being
deant. It was a combination that resulted in a
run-in with the law. That wasnt something
Evans wanted to relive, but it did get her on
the right track to completing high school
through the South San Francisco Adult
School. This fall, shell continue her educa-
tion by studying cosmetology at Skyline
College.
Taylor was a very responsible student on
our campus, counselor Juliet Johnson said.
She always worked hard and presented her-
self in a very mature way. Taylor made many
extra efforts and overcame many obstacles to
make graduation possible. She denitely rises
to the occasion when obstacles are in her way.
We are very proud of her.
Evans grew up in San Francisco in the mid-
dle of six children. A bit smart-mouthed as a
little one, she dreamed of one day getting into
real estate or owning a beauty salon. Around
14, she got in trouble with the law and was put
on probation. As a result, she moved to Daly
City and enrolled at Baden High School.
Evans didnt know anyone at her new school,
and transportation was often an issue. She felt
a bit alone at times. Together those things
made success more of a challenge. Evans,
however, never let outside stress impact her
success in school.
Throughout her time in high school, she
was also helping with her younger sibling.
When her family moved earlier this year to
Antioch, Evans followed to help. She
switched to South San Francisco Adult School
to nish her degree. Thankfully, it didnt take
long. And, the new schedule allowed Evans to
focus on the needs of helping her family, like
taking the kids to school in Antioch.
In the fall, Evans plans to enroll in the cos-
metology program at Skyline College. She
liked the affordable options at the San Bruno
school and hopes to nish in under two years
the rst step to Evans one day owning a
salon.
First shell enjoy spend her summer focus-
ing on herself for a change.
South San Francisco Adult Schools gradu-
ation will be held 5 p.m. Thursday, June 24 in
the multi-purpose room on campus, 825
Southwood Drive, South San Francisco.
Great Grads is in its seventh year proling one
graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partici-
pate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.
A second chance, embraced
Age: 17
City of residence: Antioch
College: Skyline College

What shell miss about

granted.

Lawsuit attacks
teacher employment rules
LOS ANGELES Lawyers for seven
California schoolchildren are suing the state
in an attempt to overturn ve laws that they
say violate their constitutional right to a fair
education because they protect bad teachers.
The lawsuit, led Monday in Los Angeles
County Superior Court, is the most sweeping
challenge to date of teacher tenure, dismissal
procedures and seniority-based layoffs
three longtime tenets of the teaching profes-
sion that have fallen under increasingly sharp
criticism in recent years but are ercely pro-
tected by unions. The suit called the set of
laws a statutory scheme that keeps ineffec-
tive teachers in classrooms, particularly in

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A proposal to build a series of large office
buildings, possibly the home to biotech
companies, at the now-vacant former
Burlingame Drive-in, received unanimous
approval by the Planning Commission
Monday and will now go to the City Council
for final approval.
Millennium Partners, New York-based
developers of mixed-used properties,
applied in April 2010 to develop the 18.13-
acre site a project now known as
Burlingame Point, located at 300 Airport
Blvd. (also known as 350 Beach Road).
Plans call for 689,810 square feet of office
space in two five-story buildings, one seven-
story building and one eight-story building.
In December 2010, the City Council
approved an agreement to conduct an envi-
ronmental review of the project, which
became available for review late last year.
After receiving approval from the
Planning Commission, the proposal will go
before the City Council for final approval
next month.
As proposed, the project will be reviewed
to provide space for either office or biotech
use. When last changed, the zoning for the
Bayfront was altered to be open for biotech.
There would also be a two-story, 33,400-
square-foot amenities building that would
include a child-care facility, exercise facility
and a cafe/break room. Parking would be
offered in a five-story parking structure and
a podium-level parking area below the four
office buildings and in smaller lots scattered
around the site.
The lengthy environmental report, which
is available on the citys website, finds traf-
fic to be one of the largest possible issues.
One of the biggest challenges, which
Millennium is still trying to work through, is
the disruption in wind patterns. The portion
of the Bay near the development is frequent-
ed by those who enjoy wind sports like kite
boarding. Those who use the space have said
the buildings will disrupt the winds and take
away a safe place for people to enjoy various
wind sports.
The long-vacant site was first used as a
drive-in in the 60s and the number of
screens expanded in the 70s, according to
the Burlingame Historical Society. It was
torn down in the early 2000s.
Office plan at drive-in heads to City Council

after she requested a divorce over breakfast in
Pacica pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges
of premeditated attempted murder and domestic
violence.
John Howard Hunt, 66, of Julian, Calif., is
also charged with felony assault and felony
assault causing great bodily injury which are
alternative charges to the more serious count.
He returns to court July 13 for a preliminary
hearing.
Hunt has been held without bail since his
May 5 arrest shortly after sheriffs deputies
were agged down by a motorist seeking help
for Hunts bleeding and disoriented wife.
The altercation between
Hunt and his wife of 21
years, who is also in her
60s, began that morning
after the woman announced
over breakfast that she
wanted a divorce, accord-
ing to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The couple reportedly
drove down Highway 101
and Hunt pulled into a cul-
de-sac near Montara where
he asked her to get out and give him a hug. After
the embrace, Hunt slammed his wifes head into
the car several times until she fell to the ground
where he further hit her. The woman told
authorities he wrapped his belt around her neck
until she couldnt breathe and she thought she
was going to die.
Hunt allegedly pulled his wife back into the
car and took off again, with her feet dangling
from the passenger side door, and she managed
to reach up and turn off the ignition. The woman
reported she grabbed at a steel water bottle but
he grabbed it away and held her head down
while driving. Once the green Subaru came to a
stop, the profusely bleeding woman ran to
another car in search of help and that motorist
drove to the rst sheriffs unit available.
The woman, who drifted in and out of con-
sciousness, was airlifted to Stanford Medical
Center while sheriffs deputies found Hunt
inside his vehicle north of the scene on Cabrillo
Highway.
The couple has no prior criminal history of
violence.

A teen Norteo accused of beginning a shov-
ing match that ended with the fatal shooting of
a 21-year-old Redwood City man he and three
accomplices mistakenly thought was a rival was
indicted by a criminal grand jury on murder and
weapons charges that could send him to prison
for life without parole.
Gerardo Aboytes, 19, appeared in court yes-
terday for initial arraignment on the charges
handed down by the grand jury last week but
did not enter a plea.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Redwood City investigators had heard Aboytes
name bandied about in connection with the
shooting of Julio Pantoja Cuevas but could not
tie him to the case until he lied while testifying
at the criminal grand jury
hearing last August. That
hearing led to the indict-
ment of accomplices
Michael Elijah Rodriguez,
18, Jaime Treto Rodriguez,
20, and Mario Cazarez Jr.,
18.
All four are accused of
murdering Cuevas for the
benet of their street gang
which makes them eligible
for life imprisonment. Aboytes is also charged
with perjury for his alleged lying on the stand.
Prosecutors believe Michael Rodriguez actu-
ally shot Cuevas, who died Nov. 28, 2010 from
several bullets in an alley near the 400 block of
Madison Avenue in Redwood City.
Cuevas was allegedly visiting three female
friends at a Madison Avenue apartment com-
plex, wearing a navy blue jacket. The suspects
allegedly approached Cuebas and challenged
him about what gang he claimed. Prosecutors
say Aboytes and Cazares led a shoving match
with Cuebas before Rodriguez pulled a gun and
red several times.
Cuevas ran down an alleyway where he fell
and died and the suspects ed in the opposition
direction.
Rodriguez and Cazarez were arrested the day
after the shooting. Jaime Rodriguez, no relation
to Michael, remained at large until June 2011
when he was arrested in Santa Fe, N.M. for a
domestic dispute in a casino.
All four remain in custody without bail. The
three other defendants have pleaded not guilty
to all charges and are scheduled for jury trial
Sept. 24.

Saltworks general manager resigns
John Bruno, the senior vice president and
general manager of DMB Associates, Inc.,
has resigned to take a
new position as president
of San Jose Construction.
Bruno was responsible
for leading the develop-
ment efforts of DMB
Redwood City Saltworks.
The Saltworks is a joint
venture formed between
Cargill Inc. and DMB
Associates Inc. to deter-
mine the future use of the 1,433-acre
Saltworks property in Redwood City.
On May 7, the Redwood City Council
agreed by default to shelve the Saltworks
development plan stalled for three years
without a project description necessary to
complete the application and finish environ-
mental reviews of the controversial propos-
al.
The council did not take any vote, howev-
er, as it was a moot point coming after devel-
oper DMB Redwood City Saltworks
announcement the previous Thursday to for-
mally withdraw its 50-50 balanced plan
while working on a scaled-back option. The
50-50 Balanced Plan called for reserving 50
percent of the land as permanent open space,
public recreation and tidal marsh restoration
and develop the remaining half into housing,
schools, parks and retail and transit facili-
ties. Up to 12,000 homes would have been
built under this plan.
DMB Associates is one of the largest pri-
vate landowners in California with seven
projects that total more than 100,000 acres.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown is
pleading with Californians to raise their taxes
as part of his solution for solving the states
budget decit, but its uncertain whether vot-
ers will be in an accepting mood come
November.
Polls show voters want more money for
schools but dont want to tax themselves to
pay for it. They continue to be pessimistic
about the economy in a state with one of the
highest jobless rates in the nation. And they
distrust the Legislature, which oversees the
budget.
Brown is facing a tough environment after
announcing over the weekend that the states
decit had risen to $15.7 billion, much larger
than he said a few months ago, said Jack
Pitney, a political science professor at
Claremont McKenna College in Pomona.
When the governor says devastating things
are going to happen, people will say, Look,
you said the shortfall was going to be a lot
smaller than it was. You were wrong then;
why should we believe you now? Pitney
said. The governor is facing a trust decit as
well as a scal decit.
On Tuesday, the Democratic governor
defended his plan to raise the statewide sales
tax and seek higher income taxes on the
wealthy, warning of deep cuts that include a
school year shortened by as much as three
weeks if voters reject his taxes.
He said it was not a scare tactic but rather
the stark reality of a state that is not taking in
enough tax revenue to cover its expenses. His
administration projected that Californias
economy will continue to recover at a modest
pace but housing and unemployment continue
to be a drag.
Were asking for the taxes and were ask-
ing for the cuts, Brown said after addressing
a victims rights confer-
ence. We have no other
choice.
Brown said the size of
the tax is fair given that
Californias economy is
nearly $2 trillion and the
measure would mostly
impact the wealthy. When
he released his $91 billion
revised spending plan
Monday, he did so with a plea, asking voters
to please increase taxes temporarily.
Under Browns tax plan, California would
temporarily raise the states sales tax by a
quarter-cent to 7.5 percent for four years and
increase the income tax for seven years on
individuals who make more than $250,000
and joint filers who make more than
$500,000.
Brown revised the amount his tax initiative
will raise from $9 billion to roughly $8.5 bil-
lion through mid-2013. Of that, $5.6 billion
will benet the general fund.
An earlier review by the nonpartisan ana-
lysts ofce estimated lower revenues of $6.8
billion.
Supporters of the Schools and Local
Public Safety Protection Act of 2012 say the
additional revenue would help maintain cur-
rent funding levels for public schools and col-
leges and pay for programs that benet sen-
iors and low-income families.
It also would provide local governments
with a constitutional guarantee of funding to
comply with a new state law that shifts lower-
level offenders from state prisons to county
jails.
Anti-tax groups and Republicans say voters
are in no mood for taxes and note that the last
seven tax increase proposals have been turned
down. That includes a temporary sales and
vehicle tax extension in May 2009 by a mar-
gin of nearly two-thirds.
Voter distrust will be a hurdle
for Gov. Jerry Browns tax plan

SACRAMENTO The federal govern-
ments main regulator of home loans is
objecting to mortgage-related bills in
California and says they could end up
increasing lending costs and harming the
housing market.
Lenders say the legislation goes well
beyond the terms of the $25 billion settlement
announced in February between the nations
largest banks and more than 40 states over
foreclosure abuses. They picked up a power-
ful ally in the Federal Housing Finance
Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, the government-controlled
companies that own about 60 percent of
Californias mortgages.
The agencys general counsel, Alfred
Pollard, said in a letter to California lawmak-
ers that some of the bills, if signed into law,
would encourage borrowers to sue lenders.
Increasing legal risks for lenders and
investors where existing remedies exist
and where new language creates incentives
for litigation ultimately creates harm for
all homeowners, he wrote.
He particularly objected to a bill intended
to address robo-signing, a practice that was
targeted in the national bank settlement. Its
when banks approve foreclosures without
properly reviewing the documentation.
Pollard said the wording is so vague that the
legislation could end up penalizing lenders
even for unintentional errors or omissions. In
turn, that would encourage lawsuits as part of
a strategy to stall legitimate foreclosures and
result in penalties and attorneys fees that
would add costs for lenders, he said.
Pollard also objected to a bill seeking to
protect tenants from being forced out of their
rental homes by foreclosures.
He said the Federal Housing Finance
Agency is concerned that the legislation could
encourage abuse of the foreclosure process by
letting property owners rent distressed prop-
erties to friends and family members. That
would allow them to take advantage of the
bills restrictions on evicting tenants and fore-
closing on the property.
Pollards comments are in a ve-page letter
to lawmakers dated Friday and obtained by
the Associated Press this week. The bills were
proposed by state Attorney General Kamala
Harris, who helped secure $18 billion for
California in the bank settlement and are
awaiting action in a conference committee.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. Female soldiers
this week are moving into new jobs in once
all-male units as the Army breaks down for-
mal barriers in recognition of what has already
happened in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The policy change announced earlier this
year is being tested at nine brigades, including
one at Fort Campbell, before going Army-wide.
It opens thousands of jobs to female soldiers by
loosening restrictions meant to keep them away
from the battleeld. Experience on the ground
in the past decade showed women were ghting
and dying alongside male soldiers anyway.
Col. Val Keaveny Jr., commander of the 4th
Brigade Combat Team that is among units
piloting the change, told The Associated Press
that for the last decade it has been common to
have women temporarily attached to the com-
bat units and serve alongside them.
Women have served in our Army since the
Revolutionary War and they have done phe-
nomenal work and continue to do so today,
he said. There is great talent and now we can
have it in the headquarters of infantry, armor
and cavalry.

WASHINGTON Look for a fundamental
shift in how scientists hunt ways to ward off the
devastation of Alzheimers disease by testing
possible therapies in people who dont yet show
many symptoms, before too much of the brain is
destroyed.
The most ambitious attempt: An international
study announced Tuesday will track whether an
experimental drug can stall the disease in people
who appear healthy but are genetically destined
to get a type of Alzheimers that runs in the fam-
ily. If so, it would be exciting evidence that
maybe regular Alzheimers is preventable too.
A second study will test whether a nasal spray
that sends insulin to the brain helps people with
very early memory problems, based on separate
research linking diabetes to an increased risk of
Alzheimers. The new focus emerges as the
Obama administration adopts the rst national
strategy to ght the worsening Alzheimers epi-
demic a plan that sets the clock ticking toward
nally having effective treatments by 2025.
We are at an exceptional moment, with
more important discoveries about Alzheimers
in the last few months than in recent years, Dr.
Francis Collins, director of the National
Institutes of Health, declared Tuesday.
But a meeting of the worlds top Alzheimers
scientists this week made clear that meeting the
2025 deadline will require developing a mix of
treatments to attack the different ways that
Alzheimers damages the brain much like it
can take a cocktail of drugs to treat high blood
pressure or the AIDS virus.

stall Alzheimers earlier

George W. Bush offers
tepid endorsement of Romney
WASHINGTON George W. Bush is backing presumptive
Republican White House nominee Mitt Romney.
The former president offered a four-word
endorsement of Romney as the doors of his
elevator were closing after a speech Tuesday
in Washington.
Bush said: Im for Mitt Romney.
ABC News caught Bush after the speech,
prompting his unscripted but not surpris-
ing endorsement.
Bushs parents, former President George
H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, endorsed
Romney in March during an appearance in
Texas. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also publicly backed
Romney.
Romneys campaign issued a brief statement welcoming the
support.
Since leaving ofce in January 2009, George W. Bush has
tried to avoid politics. He left Washington deeply unpopular with
voters who blamed him for the economic crisis that unfolded on
his watch.
Father: Woman with flesh-eating bug wants book
SAVANNAH, Ga. A week ago, doctors gave her little
chance of survival. Now a Georgia grad student who is battling
a rare esh-eating infection is alert and bored enough to ask for
a book, her father told the Associated Press on Tuesday.
Aimee Copeland remained in critical condition at an Augusta
hospital, unable to speak because of a breathing tube in her
throat as she continued to ght the life-threatening disease that
took hold after she gashed her leg in a fall from a broken zip line.
Doctors had to amputate most of the 24-year-old womans left
leg to save her life, and her father says shell likely lose her n-
gers too. But he told AP that doctors now believe theyll be able
to save not only the palms of his daughters hands but her right
foot as well.
Days ago she faced losing both of her hands and feet.
This doctor cant fathom a reason for why shes improved the
way she has, Andy Copeland said in a telephone interview.
Her spirits are extraordinarily high. I am absolutely amazed.
Deputies: Mom killed four kids, then herself
PORT ST. JOHN, Fla. A Florida mother who fatally shot

before ring the fatal shots, authorities said.
Tonya Thomas, 33, fatally shot her four children, who ranged
in age from 12 to 17, said Lt. Tod Goodyear, a spokesman for
the Brevard County Sheriffs Ofce.
Three of the children had gone to a neighbors front door
before dawn to say their mother had shot them. The mother then
called the children back to the house and killed them, Goodyear
said.
From what the neighbors said, she was very calm. She
walked out and called them back. They turned around and
walked back to the house, Goodyear said.

Mexican novelist, essayist Carlos Fuentes dies
MEXICO CITY Author Carlos Fuentes, who played a
dominant role in Latin Americas novel-writing boom by delv-
ing into the failed ideals of the Mexican
revolution, died Tuesday in a Mexico City
hospital. He was 83.
Fuentes died at the Angeles del Pedregal
hospital where he was taken after his per-
sonal doctor, Arturo Ballesteros, found him
in shock in his Mexico City home.
Ballesteros told reporters outside the hospi-
tal that the writer had a sudden internal
hemorrhage that caused him to lose con-
sciousness.
The loss was immediately mourned worldwide via Twitter
and across Mexican airwaves by everyone from fellow
Mexican authors Elena Poniatowska and Jorge Volpi to reg-
gaeton artist Rene Perez of the group Calle 13.
I deeply lament the death of our beloved and admired
Carlos Fuentes, a universal Mexican writer, said President
Felipe Calderon on his Twitter account.
U.S. helps Yemen in offensive on al-Qaida in south
SANAA, Yemen Yemeni warplanes and troops backed by
heavy artillery waged a four-front assault Tuesday against the
strongholds of al-Qaida militants in the south, with U.S. troops
for the rst time helping direct the offensive from a nearby
desert air base-turned-command center.
Yemeni military ofcials said dozens of U.S. troops were
operating from al-Annad air base, about 65 kilometers (45
miles) from the main battle zones, coordinating assaults and
airstrikes and providing information to Yemeni forces.
The ofcials said it was the most direct American involve-
ment yet in the countrys expanding campaign against al-
Qaidas branch in Yemen, which has been blamed for directing
a string of unsuccessful bomb plots on U.S. soil from its hide-
outs in the impoverished country at the tip of the Arabian
Peninsula.

It did not take newly sworn-in Mayor
Matt Grocott long to gure out having
just four people sitting on the San Carlos
City Council would lead to a split vote
as it debated how to ll a vacant council
seat created by the abrupt departure of
former mayor Andy Klein a month ago.
Grocott was named mayor in a council
reorganization Monday night and Bob
Grassilli was appointed vice mayor.
The mayor and vice mayor do not
agree on when to hold an election to ll
Kleins old seat and neither do coun-
cilmembers Mark Olbert or Ron Collins.
Olbert and Grocott want to hold a spe-
cial election this November while
Grassilli and Collins said the council
should wait until November 2013 to ll
the seat.
With Kleins departure from the coun-
cil April 18 due to personal troubles, the
city has 30 days to call a special election
and must do so by this Friday.
The council could not break its 2-2
split Monday night on when to hold the
election but did decide it wants to
appoint someone to the vacant seat
rather than move forward with a four-
person council.
If the council cannot make a decision
this Friday, a special election will be
held by default, Grocott said.
However, City Attorney Greg Rubens
was not clear Monday night whether the
city would have to hold the election this
year or next if the council took no action.
Yesterday, City Manager Jeff Maltbie
said the default date would likely be
2013 after speaking with Rubens earlier
in the day.
They are in a
tough position. I
dont think there is a
right or a wrong
answer, Maltbie
said.
Grocott is the third
mayor in San Carlos
in just more than a
year following the
death of Omar
Ahmad last year and the resignation of
Klein last month.
Grassilli and Collins are looking for a
little stability on the council and favor
appointing a new councilmember to ll
the vacant seat for 18 months while
Grocott and Olbert want to have the
election as soon as possible.
Grocott does not want to give an
appointed councilmember a leg up
over other candidates by holding an
election in 2013.
But Grassilli said the council needs a
new member now and Collins agreed.
My preference is to have an election
in 2013, there has been lots of turnover
on the council in the past year, Collins
said.
Holding the election in 2013 will give
an appointment 18 months to serve
while holding it in 2012 will give an
appointment just six months to serve on
the council. If the council opts to hold a
special election this year to ll the seat
the same seat will come up for re-elec-
tion in 2013.
I know its unusual, Grocott said.
But we need to have the people decide,
not have us decide for the people.
Grocott would be willing to appoint
someone for 18 months on the condition
they would not seek re-election in 2013,
he told the Daily Journal Tuesday.
It is not fair to the other people who
are considering running for the seat in
2013 to appoint someone and essentially
give them incumbent status, he said.
But Collins said it would not be fair to
ask someone to step down after the term
ends.
Collins left town for Florida yesterday
and will participate in this Fridays spe-
cial council meeting by telephone,
Grocott said.
Kleins former seat is up for re-elec-
tion in 2013 and Grocott and Grassilli
are also up for re-election next year.
Olbert wants the community to make
the choice in a special election this
November.
Sometimes the community picks
people that people up here on the dais
wont pick. Im an example of that,
Olbert said at Monday nights meeting.
The city attorneys advice to the coun-
cil Monday night was to deliberate until
a decision was made. Since the council
could not make a decision, it will take
another crack at it this Friday.
In other business: The council, in a
study session, gave staff direction
Monday night to no longer pursue the
option of becoming a charter city, which
would allow it to avoid competitive bid-
ding laws that govern public contracts
compared to general law cities. Charter
cities have more control over how they
govern themselves and can choose to
have elected mayors rather than the ve-
person council rotations that govern gen-
eral law cities.
The City Council meets 1 p.m., Friday,
May 18, City Hall, 600 Elm St., San
Carlos.

The owner of a Daly City seafood
company will pay $17,500 in penalties
for importing yellowfin tuna into
California without a valid permit
Caesar Ruivivar, owner of Blue H20
Seafood, bought 1,688 tuna caught in the
Philippines and imported a total of
202,497 pounds into the state where the
sh was sold to wholesalers. At the time,
between Jan. 1, 2011 and Nov. 30, 2011
and between Jan. 1, 2012 and Jan. 25,
2012, Ruivivar did not have a valid
California Fish Importers License,
according to prosecutor Todd Feinberg
of the Consumer and Environmental
Unit of the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce.
Ruivivar had a legal license during all
other periods.
He was not required to admit any
wrongdoing as part of the stipulated
judgment which imposed the nancial
penalty and requires him to comply with
all applicable licensing laws governing
commercial sh imports.
Ruivivar did not return a call for com-
ment.
California Department of Fish and
Game wardens conducted the investiga-
tion into Ruivivar and forwarded the
case to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Ruivivar was very cooperative with
the investigation, Feinberg said.
Blue H20 Seafood was established in
2010 and, according to its company
description, provides Alaskan and sushi
grade seafood.

OPINION 9
Future Saltworks project
Editor,
Cargill withdrew its Saltworks 50/50
plan just days before the Redwood City
Council was going to consider denying
the application. As it turns out, the
council could have denied the initial
Saltworks application at any time dur-
ing the past three years, because the
project would have required a general
plan amendment and zoning change.
The Redwood City Council would
also have the option of denying any
new Saltworks development application
if the new plan is inconsistent with the
current open space land use and tidal
plain zoning.
The council is already aware of the
troubling realities associated with any
proposal for residential or commercial
development at this site including:
1). The lack of capacity to absorb
trafc on Highway 101, Woodside
Road and other local roadways;
2). Incompatible land use and trafc
impacts for the port and seaport indus-
tries;
3). Placing more people and busi-
nesses at risk on bayll behind levees;
4). Undermining the success of the
citys efforts to revitalize downtown;
5). Continued polarization and divi-
siveness in the community; and
6). Permanent loss of restorable wet-
lands critical to the health of San
Francisco Bay.
These are all serious concerns that
our City Council should consider right
at the outset. Denying the application is
the best option for Redwood City if
Cargill comes back with a new mixed-
use development plan for the salt
ponds.

Letter to the editor
T
here are seven high-quality
candidates for District Four
supervisor who all bring key
points of view to the discussion about
who would be best to serve as the dis-
tricts representative on the ve-mem-
ber Board of Supervisors.
However, there is one candidate who
has the experience and track record of
innovation who is the best choice for
the position Warren Slocum.
Slocum served as chief elections of-
cer and assessor-county clerk-recorder
in San Mateo County since 1986
before he retired in 2010. In that posi-
tion, Slocum was well known for his
interest in technology, innovation,
democracy and civic engagement.
Slocum has differentiated himself as a
technologically savvy proponent of
updated voting systems, all-mail bal-
lots and an overall push for voter par-
ticipation.
After the contentious 2000 presiden-
tial election revamped voting rules and
equipment typically lumped togeth-
er under the 2002 Help America Vote
Act Slocum moved away from his
support of paper voting to embrace the
handicap-accessible eSlate electronic
voting system and would still like to
see all-mail ballots for their savings in
both time and money.
Slocum also established shapethefu-
ture.org and smcare.org websites to
help residents navigate the ofce
remotely and increase accessibility and
transparency.
In his time in ofce, he also properly
handled what could have been a con-
troversy when same-sex couples asked
him to allow for them to be married. In
a 2007 letter to 57 other county clerks
and copied to state leaders, Slocum
asked his peers to support the
Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage
Protection Act which would have
granted clerks the authority to conduct
marriages for same-sex couples.
Slocums stance drew wide praise in
the local LGBT community and atten-
tion on a wider scale.
As assessor, Slocum also oversaw a
number of declining valued property
reassessments maintaining paper-
work on ownership and foreclosure
proceedings all while managing budget
cuts to his departments.
In this campaign, no one has been
able to knock Slocum on his govern-
ment experience, which is sterling. One
concern may be the situation in which
a former elected ofcial is seeking
another elected ofce after retiring and
his ability to question the establish-
ment both in the County Managers
Ofce and the sitting Board of
Supervisors. However, those concerns
can be diminished in two ways. First,
elected ofcials returning to another
elected ofce is nothing new.
Supervisor Don Horsleys experience
as a former sheriff was seen as a bene-
t. And voters supported Jerry Brown
when he returned to ofce as mayor of
Oakland, California attorney general
and governor, his former ofce.
Political experience is important in
elected ofce and should not be seen as
a liability unless that persons tenure
was less than sterling, which is clearly
not the case with Slocum. As far as
questioning establishment, Slocums
experience in county government
should give him the stature to stand up
for what he believes without suffering
from a steep learning curve that a new-
comer would encounter. One decision
the board made recently that Slocum
disagreed with was the purchase of the
Circle Star properties in San Carlos for
$40 million because the county should
be investing in properties that make
money. More than a year after the pur-
chase, the county is contemplating
leasing part of the property after mov-
ing certain county ofces there didnt
make sense. Slocum also believed the
board should have placed the issue of
district elections on the ballot for vot-
ers to decide an example of him
standing apart from the status quo.
But more importantly, Slocum brings
a certain innovative spirit to any
endeavor. One innovation he directed
was the wedding cam at his ofce so
family members near and far could
witness what is often a once-in-a-life-
time event. Its a small thing, but an
example of out-of-the-box thinking.
Another example Slocum illustrates is
using Zipcar technology to save money
with the county motor pool and look-
ing into other ways of using computer
programs at the county level to save
the cost of buying individual programs.
In his time in his previous positions,
we enjoyed seeing the cutting edge
thinking and Silicon Valley spirit
behind his new ideas while also adher-
ing to the philosophy of ensuring that
whatever is introduced still has an
overall benet to the entire community.
Simply put, Slocum is the best candi-
date and voters have an opportunity to
take advantage of his innovative spirit
and ability to speak his mind without a
learning curve.
We were also impressed with Shelly
Masur, who has a nice balance of expe-
rience, interest in collaboration and an
engaging and spirited demeanor. In this
election, the top two vote getters have
a chance to rene their positions over
the summer as they proceed in a run-
off election in November if no candi-
date gets more than 50 percent of the
vote. We would like to see Slocum in
the runoff and the community would
benet from the expanded debate
between him and Masur over the next
few months.
But voters must only choose one
candidate for this election, and we
strongly recommend Slocum.
Warren Slocum for District Four supervisor
The future of food?
P
eople deserve an environment that promotes
good health; it is fundamental to the countrys
vitality, productivity and security. But we get
the opposite. Kelly D.
Brownell, In Defense of
Food.
Sometimes we enjoy a love-
ly dinner at our younger sons
home to celebrate someones
birthday. Son does the cook-
ing. He enjoys putting togeth-
er a delicious meal for com-
pany, but doesnt get to do it
very often because his is a
busy family as are most
families these days. With both
he and his wife employed and
three young children, life can
get pretty hectic at their
home. In spite of their loaded schedule, they try to feed their
family (and guests) healthfully by purchasing organic foods
and preparing them themselves.
Its very difcult for most parents to prepare meals at
home much less from whole and natural foods. It made me
wonder what the food and nutrition situation will be like in
the future. I came to the conclusion our children and grand-
children are destined to be plagued with fractionated, adul-
terated, chemically-tainted foods which have been and will
continue to compromise their own (and their childrens)
health. New products are coming out all the time that are
tweaked and manipulated to try to appeal to gullible shop-
pers who have no qualms about consuming manufactured
products. A bit of an additive here and/or a chemical
enhancement there is formulated to lure in the nave and
uninformed to increase prots.
Then I got to thinking about todays world and especially
young working people. You can hardly blame them for not
having the incentive, knowledge and time to prepare regular
meals or the inclination to do all of the planning, shopping,
food preparation and cleanup when there are so many ready-
prepared and take-out products so easily available. Besides
that, most had no home economics in school to at least teach
them the rudiments of food preparation.
The saddest part of it is that no matter which way we turn,
no matter how much we try, theres no way to entirely
escape corporate grown and processed foods that have been
so modied and adulterated that they compromise our
health. And the sad truth is that as the Western diet is
increasingly being spread all over the world, the diseases
caused by its inuence will follow. Therefore, the plague
will continue as our food becomes more industrialized and
even more fractionated and contaminated with pesticides,
herbicides, antibiotics, hormones, articial colors and avors
ad nauseum. And dont forget genetically modied crops
and the fact that no one actually knows what their long-term
effect might be. Add the pharmaceutical industry, which will
be happy to add to its coffers by developing more and more
remedies for the ensuing health problems.
Michael Pollan recently came out with a new and
improved Food Rules book where he increases his origi-
nal 64 rules to 84. Seems much too many for most of us to
nd useful. So Ive come up with seven easy to follow rules
that can make a big difference in the healthfulness of our
diets. If we keep these things in mind, we can make a great
start in eating for better health.
1). Give up soft drinks and all related products. They are
empty calories and full of sweeteners (usually high fructose
corn syrup) and other questionable additives;
2). Include as many whole grains, fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles (hopefully organic) in your daily diet as you can;
3). Do not eat processed meats like hot dogs, sausage,
luncheon meats, etc. Cut down on all red meats. You will be
avoiding nitrites and nitrates, antibiotics, hormones and
unhealthy fats;
4). Stay away from industry concocted products. This
includes most sweets and salty snacks and anything pack-
aged that contains more than a few ingredients;
5). Reduce the use of canned and plastic-wrapped foods
and food containers. The BPA in the linings of the cans
transfers to the food and is implicated in childhood obesity,
early puberty and even cancer since it is a synthetic estrogen;
6). Check labels for trans fats and saturated fats. Avoid
products containing trans fats and keep saturated fats low;
and
7). Use dairy products that are low fat and free of articial
growth hormone.
Much more needs to be done to curb the epidemic of obe-
sity that has been featured and lamented in the media lately.
Until our government takes the health of our citizens more
seriously than the prots of corporate interests, things will
not improve. As Michael Pollan wrote in In Defense of
Food about the diabetes epidemic in the USA: Apparently
it is easier, or at least a lot more protable, to change a dis-
ease of civilization into a lifestyle than it is to change the
way that civilization eats.

Europes latest political impasse cast a
gloom over nancial markets Tuesday.
The euro plunged, and the Dow Jones
industrial average extended a slide that
has wiped out nearly 5 percent of its
value in two weeks.
The biggest action of the day came
shortly before U.S. markets opened,
when a Greek party leader announced the
talks to build a coalition government had
failed. The euro and major European
stock markets turned sharply lower and
stayed there the rest of the day.
Newly elected political leaders in
Greece disagree about whether to accept
more international bailouts and continue
with painful spending cuts. If Greece
exits the euro currency, it could rattle
nancial markets around the world.
In the U.S., stocks opened mixed and
then staged a weak, mid-morning rally
after word that condence among U.S.
builders rose to a ve-year high in May.
Homebuilders gained: Hovnanian
Enterprises surged 10 percent, Lennar
Corp. 3 percent and PulteGroup Inc. 2
percent.
The Dow and other stock indexes
meandered between gains and losses for
much of the day, then turned decisively
lower in the last hour of trading.
The Dow wound up with a loss of
63.35 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at
12,632. Losses by most of its compo-
nents were offset by a big gain for
JPMorgan Chase. The nations biggest
bank rose 1.3 percent, recovering some
of the losses it has sustained since reveal-
ing a $2 billion trading loss last week.
The Dow has lost 647 points, or 4.9
percent, since May 1, when it hit a four-
year high of 13,279.32. In that time it has
fallen every day but one. The Dow is on
track for its rst monthly decline since
September, when it fell 6 percent.
The Standard & Poors 500 index n-
ished down 7.69 points, or 0.6 percent, at
1,330.66. The Nasdaq composite index
fell 8.82, or 0.3 percent, to 2,893.76.
The euro fell as low as $1.2720, a four-
month low against the dollar, after Greek
socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos
declared that attempts to form a govern-
ing coalition there had failed and new
elections will be held next month.
Aside from fears about Europe, stocks
are suffering because a string of weaker
economic data has dimmed hopes for
corporate prots in the current quarter
ending June 30, said John Butters, senior
earnings analyst at FactSet, a nancial
data provider.
Dow continues slide
Wall Street
Boehner: Spending cuts
must exceed debt limit hike
WASHINGTON House Speaker John Boehner said
Tuesday that when Congress raises the nations borrowing
cap he will again insist on spending cuts
and budget reforms to offset the
increase.
In remarks Tuesday afternoon at a
budget conference in Washington, the
Ohio Republican said he welcomes
another wrenching debate on increasing
the so-called debt limit because it forces
a Congress and White House plagued by
gridlock to make difcult decisions.
Boehner also said that the GOP-con-
trolled House will vote to extend Bush-
era tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year and that the
House will act next year on broad-based tax reform that
lowers rates for individuals and businesses while closing
deductions, credits and special carveouts.
According to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, the gov-
ernment will hit its borrowing cap later this year, but
Treasury can use accounting maneuvers to buy time for the
newly elected Congress to deal with the issue early next year.
Activist firm takes $600M stake in PepsiCo
NEW YORK Activist investor Ralph Whitworth said
Tuesday that his rm has taken a $600 million stake in
PepsiCo Inc., a move that could ramp up pressure on the
company to make changes.
PepsiCo has faced investor dissatisfaction in recent years
over its underperforming stock price and loss of market share
to Coca-Cola Co. Thats led to speculation in the past that
CEO Indra Nooyi will step down and that the company will
split up its soda and snacks businesses.
Whitworth, the co-founder of San Diego-based Relational
Investors, said that his rm has accumulated a 0.6 percent
stake in the food and beverage giant since last fall. The hold-
ing is expected to be disclosed this week in a regulatory l-
ing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Big movers
By Pallavi Gogoi
TAMPA, Fla. The CEO of
JPMorgan Chase offered a quick but
blunt apology to shareholders Tuesday
for a $2 billion trading loss that should
never have happened and survived a
push to strip him of the title of chairman
of the board.
CEO Jamie Dimon, who in recent
years has given expansive answers to
questions about the banks handling of
foreclosures and loan modications, was
unusually subdued at the JPMorgan
annual meeting.
He spent four minutes talking about
the trading loss and steps the company
has taken to address it, and just two more
talking about accomplishments of the
company over the past year.
The loss, disclosed Thursday, rattled
investor condence in the largest bank in
the United States and in the ability of
Wall Street to ght regulatory changes
more than three years after the nancial
crisis.
It also added some theatrics to the
JPMorgan annual meeting, traditionally
a staid affair.
Reporters swarmed,
police with guns
stood guard on the
roof, and protesters
threw eggs at a poster
with Dimons picture
on it.
Of the trade, an ill-
timed bet on so-
called credit deriva-
tives, Dimon said: This should never
have happened. I cant justify it.
Unfortunately, these mistakes are self-
inicted.
Speaking with reporters later, he
added: The buck always stops with me.
Dimon won a non-binding sharehold-
er endorsement of his pay package from
last year, which totaled $23 million,
according to an Associated Press analy-
sis of regulatory lings.
Most of the shareholder ballots were
cast in the weeks before Dimon revealed
the trading loss. The pay package passed
with 91 percent of the vote. The vote to
strip him of the chairmans title won
only 40 percent support.
Dimon was confronted at the meeting
by shareholders upset about the trading
loss. To some questions, he offered a
simple, OK, thank you.
The Rev. Seamus Finn, representing
shareholders from the Catholic organiza-
tion Missionary Oblates of Mary
Immaculate, said that investors had
heard Dimon apologize before for the
foreclosure crisis and other problems.
We heard the same refrain: We have
learned from our mistakes. This will
never be allowed to happen again, Finn
said. I cant help wondering if you are
listening.
Lisa Lindsley, director of capital
strategies for an inuential union of pub-
lic employees that is also a major
JPMorgan shareholder, said independent
board leadership was in shareholders
best interest.
An all-powerful CEO is his own
boss, she said. Looking for an infalli-
ble CEO is a fools errand.
Most large American companies com-
bine the jobs of chairman and CEO, but
shareholders have pushed in recent years
to separate them. About one in ve
Standard & Poors 500 companies sepa-
rate the jobs.

NEW YORK Facebooks reach is
wide but not deep. Few users surveyed
in an Associated Press-CNBC poll say
they click on the sites ads or buy the
virtual goods that make money for it.
More than 40 percent of American
adults log in to the site to share
news, personal observations, photos
and more at least once a week. In all,
some 900 million people around the
world are users. But many of them
dont have a very high opinion of
Facebook or trust it to keep their infor-
mation private.
If Facebook the company were a
Facebook user, it would have a lot of
virtual friends but not many real ones,
the poll suggested.
Users distrust limits the value of
the sites ads. Advertisers want to tar-
get their messages to the people most
likely to respond to them. And the
more Facebook knows about us, the
better it will be at tailoring those ads
to our interests.
Yet in the poll of U.S. adults pub-
lished Tuesday, only 13 percent said
they trust Facebook completely or a
lot when it comes to keeping their per-
sonal information private. A majority,
or 59 percent, said they trust Facebook
only a little, or not at all.
Users desire for privacy and
Facebooks need to target advertising
arent necessarily opposing interests.
Facebook doesnt expose information
about its users directly to advertisers.
Instead, it effectively accepts missions
to deliver ads to groups of people, like
moviegoers or people planning trips
to Europe. Its up to Facebook to fig-
ure out how to find those people.
But the company doesnt seem to be
connecting very well. In the poll, 83
percent of respondents said they hard-
ly ever or never click on the ads
Facebook serves up.
The ones who did click through were
enough to yield the company $4.34 per
user in advertising last year. Thats up
from $3.07 in 2009.
Lack of trust in Facebook may hold back ad sales
Facebook raises IPO
price as offering nears
NEW YORK Already expected to
be the largest-ever initial public offer-
ing for an Internet company, Facebook
is making its IPO even bigger.
The worlds largest online social net-
work on Tuesday increased the
planned price range for its stock to $34
to $38 per share in a ling with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Thats up from its previous range of
$28 to $35. At the upper limit of $38,
the sale would raise about $12.8 bil-
lion.
The move, which values Facebook
as high as $104 billion, comes amid
growing investor excitement about the
offering. Analysts are comparing the
frenzy surrounding Facebooks IPO to
Google Inc.s in 2004, though in sheer
size the latter pales in comparison.

To win a Central Coast Section baseball
or softball title, everything has to break just
right. There is no secret formula to winning
a championship: a team needs to have strong
pitching, solid defense and timely hitting.
Put all three together and it adds up to only
having a chance to win CCS.
Playing well in all three phases of the
game will only get you so far, as teams also
need to the breaks to go their way, come
through in the key moments and, in the end,
get a little lucky.
Everything has been going the right way
for the Menlo School baseball team the last
couple of years as the Knights are the two-
time defending CCS Division III champi-
ons.
But manager Craig Schoof knows that
means squat with the 2012 edition of the
CCS playoffs beginning today.
I dont know if there is any added pres-
sure. Each tournament is an entity unto
itself, Schoof said. Someone has to win
four games. Its not easy to do.
Were certainly good enough (to win it
all). We have the hitting, the pitching to do
it.
The Knights have a formidable one-two
punch on the mound and at the plate in
Stanford-bound Freddy Avis and Davidson-
bound Jake Batchelder. The two combined a
13-6 pitching record with an ERA of 2.21.
They also powered the Knights offense,
with a combined batting average of .443,

There are two ways track and eld teams can
win team championships. One is to ll each event
with as many participants from a particular school
and rack up points by making it to the nals.
Menlo School did it the other way. With only a
handful of boys and girls on the Knights track
teams, they needed to pile up points by winning
events or nishing in the top three or four
spots.
Menlo did that better than anyone else at
Westmoor Saturday as the Knights became the
rst team in West Bay Athletic League history to
sweep both the boys and girls team titles at the
WBAL championships.
Its very exciting, said Menlo School coach
Donoson Fitzgerald. We had tried to predict how
we would do. I knew we would be close, but
thought we would be a few points short. If the kids
had a really good day and if everyone came
through, we could win.
The Knights did both and it resulted in a 1.5-
point win for the girls over Notre Dame-San Jose,
while the boys held off rival Sacred Heart Prep by
six points. Last year, the Menlo boys lost by three
points to the Gators.
We have the best two teams the last two years,
Fitzgerald said of his team and Sacred Heart
Preps. We knew it was going to be us and them
battling.
Matt Myers, only a sophomore, paced the
Menlo boys team with wins in the 1,600 and the
800.
That was very impressive, Fitzgerald said.
There are a lot of other good runners in our
league.

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. The biggest goal of
Keeling Pilaros eld hockey career happened far
from an athletic eld on Tuesday.
An athletics committee determined the 13-year-
old boy can keep playing on the girlsvarsity team
at Southampton High School, at least for one
more season. The decision at an appeals hearing
Tuesday reverses earlier rulings that claimed
Keelings skills as a eld hockey player, which he
developed growing up in Dublin, Ireland, had
developed to a level superior to those of girls.
I was jumping up and down; I was so excited
when I heard, the youngster said in a telephone
interview about an hour after the decision was
announced by an attorney for the athletics com-
mittee. I can play!
Kevin Seaman, the attorney for the committee
that oversees public school athletics in Suffolk
County, said panelists determined that Keelings
continued participation on the team ultimately
would not have a signicant adverse effect on
girls opportunity to participate in interschool
competition. That was the same criteria used ear-
lier this year when ofcials for the committee said
Keelings skills had exceeded those of his female
teammates and competitors.
Reporters were not permitted into the closed
meeting.
Seaman said the vote to allow Keeling to play
was not unanimous, but he declined to break it
down. About two dozen ofcials deliberated for

with one other named to each the second team
and the honorable mention lists.
Leading the way on the rst team is pitcher
Thomas Cox. Joining him are catcher Collin
Theroux, third baseman Mickey McDonald,
outelder Jordan Paroubeck and designated
hitter Paul Murray.
Daniel Strupeni was named to the second
team while Antonio Freschet was an honor-
able mention.
Despite a tough season, Notre Dame-
Belmont had a total of four players named to
the three teams. Inelder/outelder Isabella
Geronimo was the lone Tiger selected for
rst-team honors. Lindsey Mifsud, only a
freshman, was named to the second team,
along with sophomore Aimee Miller.
Sophomore catcher Julia Villanueva was an
honorable mention selection.
Stanfords women named to
NCAA rowing championships
The Lady Cardinal earned one of 16 bids to
the college rowing championships being held
May 25-27 on Lake Mercer in West Windsor,
N.J.
It is the fourth straight year the Stanford
women have advanced to the championship
round. The Cardinal won the team title in
2009, and nished second behind Brown last
year, missing out on the title by a three-tenths
of a second loss in the I Eight Grand Final.
To earn a spot in the NCAA championships,
a team has to eld boats in four classes: I
Eight, II Eight and Four classes. Stanford is
among ve Pac-12 schools to qualify for the
2012 eld, joining Cal, UCLA, USC and
Washington.
Stanfords I Eight boat claimed silver in
2008, gold in 2009 and bronze last season.
The II Eight captured its rst gold last season
and took home a silver in 2010.

OAKLAND The Sacramento River Cats
latest post on Facebook: Its Manny Time.
Suspended slugger Manny Ramirez is
scheduled to begin a 10-game minor league
stint with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday in
Albuquerque, N.M., and the club is already
preparing special ticket packages for his home
games in Northern California.
Barring rainouts, the dreadlocked designat-
ed hitter and outelder is eligible to be acti-
vated by the Oakland Athletics from his 50-
game suspension on May 30 his 40th birth-
day for the nale of a three-game series at
Minnesota.
The As announced his schedule Tuesday,
and the River Cats have already been busy
planning for his much-anticipated arrival in
the state capital.
The limited edition Manny Pack ticket
packages in Sacramento will include 20 or 40
ticket vouchers good for any game this season
along with a Ramirez River Cats T-shirts,
while supplies last, of course.
Mannys name is getting thrown around
quite a bit, said As out-
fielder Collin Cowgill,
recently promoted from
Sacramento. Itll be good
for the fans in Sacramento
to see a guy like him come
through. Obviously, hes
going to ll the seats there,
as he should. He deserves
it. Hes one heck of a play-
er.
While the As could have sent Ramirez to
Class-A Stockton this weekend and guaran-
teed themselves a big draw at the gates, gen-
eral manager Billy Beane wanted to get
Ramirez prepared against the best competition
and pitching possible before his return.
The 12-time All-Star had to serve a 50-
game suspension for a second positive drug
test.
This will be the 20th major league season
for Ramirez, a career .312 hitter with 1,831
RBIs.
The As signed Ramirez to a one-year minor
league contract on Feb. 20 that is worth
approximately $500,000 if hes added to the
big league roster.
Ramirez retired from the Tampa Bay Rays
last season rather than serve a 100-game sus-
pension for a second failed drug test. The
penalty was cut to 50 games because he sat
out nearly all of last season.
He ranks 14th on the career list with 555
home runs. Ramirez went 1 for 17 (.059) in
ve games last season for Tampa Bay.
This spring, Ramirez vowed to be ready to
make a comeback with the As.
Its going to take time. I havent played in
a whole year, so its like starting to walk
again, getting into that feel, he said.
Also Tuesday, the As claimed Australian
lefty reliever Travis Blackley off waivers from
the San Francisco Giants. To clear a spot on
the 40-man roster, the As transferred right-
handed reliever Joey Devine to the 60-day dis-
abled list as he recovers from his second
Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery in
three years.
A move on the 25-man roster will be made
when Blackley joins the As, who were set to
play the second game of a two-game series
against the Angels in Anaheim.
Man-Ram continues to prepare

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders are
nally getting a chance to see what their
offense can look like with both Carson Palmer
and Darren McFadden on the eld.
The two stars never got a chance to play
together last season with McFadden being
sidelined by a season-ending foot injury earli-
er in the same game that Palmer made his
Raiders debut.
With McFadden nally recovered and at full
speed during offseason practices, and Palmer
entrenched as the teams starting quarterback,
the Raiders are hoping they have the building
blocks for a dynamic offense.
Thats the hardest thing for me right now is
you want to watch him cause hes so electri-
fying and he can do so many different things,
Palmer said Tuesday. But I have a job on
bootlegs and things like that and I have to
make sure I get him the ball and then boot, but
getting him on the eld is just something the
defense has to key on and really focus on and
its been great to work with.
Palmer never got that chance a year ago. He
was acquired by the Raiders on Oct. 18, two
days after starter Jason Campbell went down
with a broken collarbone. Palmer got only a
handful of snaps with the rst team in practice
that week and McFadden then injured his
right foot catching a pass early in the rst
quarter Oct. 23 against Kansas City.
McFadden said he initially didnt think the
injury was that serious but that it started to
feel much worse the day after. The Raiders
originally described the injury as a sprained
foot and designated him
week-to-week. But it was
actually a more serious
Lisfranc injury that cost
him the nal nine games
of the season and was a
big reason why Oakland
missed the playoffs.
It was one of those
things where you just
hated it, McFadden said.
Week after week youre
trying to get out there, and you cant get out
there because your foot wont let you. One of
those deals, you have to just keep going, keep
pushing for it. Injuries like that take a lot of
time to heal up so its not something you can
just get back out there on too soon.
McFadden said it took until early April until
he could start running again and now he has
no limitations. He has been running full speed
and making cuts on the foot, showing signs of
what he can bring to the Raiders offense this
season if he can remain healthy.
Thats always been the biggest question for
McFadden, who has missed 19 games in his
rst four seasons with foot, toe, shoulder,
knee and hamstring injuries. Despite that his-
tory, McFadden disagrees with the notion that
he is injury prone.
Everybody has their own opinion, so, for
me, Im just going out there playing, going
hard, if I get hurt, so be it, he said. I could
see if it was just going down the street, falling
over, getting hurt, thats different, but Im out
there playing hard when I get hurt.
McFadden was off to a fast start last season
before the injury. He led the NFL with 610
yards rushing through six games and felt he
had a shot at an 1,800-yard season. He also
added 129 yards receiving and scored ve
total touchdowns as the Raiders opened the
season 4-2.
McFadden topped 100 yards rushing eight
times in a 15-game span between 2010 and
2011 as he nally showed signs of being the
big-play back the Raiders thought they found
when they drafted him fourth overall in 2008.
Explosive home-run hitter on any given
down, and those are guys that are tough to
deal with because you might bottle them up
for a while, but all it takes is one play and he
hits a home run and ends up beating you,
coach Dennis Allen said. So hes an exciting
player. Hes working hard out here every day
to get better, to learn the system, to make sure
he knows what to do and how to do it, and
make sure he can execute under pressure.
Notes: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey said he
regretted bringing bad attention to the team
for his recent arrest on a charge of misde-
meanor drunken driving. ... LB Rolando
McClain is not here this week because he is
scheduled to go on trial Thursday in Alabama
on misdemeanor assault, rearms and other
charges for allegedly ring a gun near some-
ones head in December. ... S Mike Mitchell
also was not here because of a knee injury and
DL Richard Seymour stayed home to work
out on his own. ... DL Matt Shaughnessy
(shoulder), C Stefen Wisniewski (shoulder)
and G Mike Brisiel (hamstring) were among
the injured players working on the side. .. The
team announced Tuesday that it had signed
free agent fullback Owen Schmitt, who
played the last two seasons with the
Philadelphia Eagles. Schmitt also played for
two years with the Seattle Seahawks.

NEW YORK The NFL, its players union
and the NCAA are donating money to provide
new helmets to youth football players in low-
income communities.
Theyve joined with the National Operating
Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment
to commit a total of about $1 million to an initia-
tive started by the U.S Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
The program, announced Tuesday, will remove
helmets that are at least 10 years old and replace
them with new models while providing safety
education to coaches. It is expected to distribute
13,000 new helmets this year starting in July.
The pilot program will take place in four com-
munities: the Bay Area, the Gulf Coast region,
northern Ohio and greater New York City.
As of this year, National Athletic Equipment
Reconditioners Association members will no
longer recondition or recertify any helmet that is at
least 10 years old. CPSC Chair Inez Tenenbaum
says research shows older helmets may not offer
the same protection.
NOCSAE will use the old helmets for research.
USA Football will administer the program,
which is also supported by NAERA, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, and Sporting
Goods Manufacturers Association. Rawlings,
Riddell, Schutt and Xenith are providing dis-
counted helmets.
Head injuries have become a major issue at all
levels of football. The NFL, which has cracked
down on illegal hits in recent years, faces lawsuits
from hundreds of former players about its past
practices on safety and concussions. The
announcement of the youth helmet program
includes the acknowledgement that helmets do
not prevent concussions and emphasizes the
importance of the coach education portion.
This program is part of our focus on player
safety at all levels of the game, NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

SAN FRANCISCO Marco Scutaro home-
red off closer Santiago Casilla to lead off the ninth
inning and lift the Colorado Rockies past the mis-
take-prone San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Tuesday
night.
Scutaro smacked a 92 mph fastball from Casilla
(0-2) just over the left-eld wall for his rst home
run of the season after Colorado blew a three-run
lead in the eighth.
Troy Tulowitzki, Michael Cuddyer and Carlos
Gonzalez each drove in a run as the Rockies took
advantage of three Giants errors to snap a four-
game losing streak.
Rex Brothers (2-2) struck out Brandon Belt and
Melky Cabrera with the bases loaded in the eighth.
Rafael Betancourt struck out Nate Schierholtz
looking with two on in the ninth for his seventh
save in eight chances.
Colorados Jeremy Guthrie allowed four hits
and one unearned run in 5 1-3 innings in his rst
start since April 22. He had gone on the disabled
list after falling off his bicycle on the way to the
ballpark last month.
Tim Lincecum lasted seven innings, striking out
seven and walking three for the Giants. At the very
least, Lincecums lethargic starts this season nal-
ly disappeared.
Not much else about the nal result did.
Gregor Blanco singled leading off the third,
stole second and advanced to third on catcher
Jordan Pachecos throwing error. He scored on
Brandon Belts y out to give San Francisco a 1-0
lead.
A night after taking a foul ball from teammate
Dexter Fowler off his left leg, Tulowitski played
through soreness and singled in the fourth to score
Carlos Gonzalez from second for the tying run.
Gonzalezs one-out double that landed inches
inside the left-eld chalk was the rst hit off
Lincecum, who gave up little on a cold, foggy
night under the lights in San Franciscos windy
waterfront ballpark.
Rockies halt Giants streak

ANAHEIM Ervin Santana struck out nine
during 7 2-3 innings of four-hit ball, Albert Pujols
drove in two runs with ineld singles, and the Los
Angeles Angels rebounded from yet another
shutout loss with a 4-0 victory over the Oakland
Athletics on Tuesday night.
Mike Trout went 3 for 4 with a homer and three
runs scored for the Angels, who nally produced
enough offense to back a strong performance by
Santana (2-6). The Dominican right-hander
retired 16 in a row early, winning his second
straight start after a rocky beginning to the sea-
son.
Bartolo Colon (3-4) allowed 12 hits while
pitching into the seventh inning for the As, who
were off to an AL-best 8-4 start in May.
A day after Oakland sent Los Angeles to its
major league-worst eighth shutout loss this sea-
son, the Angels snapped the As four-game win-
ning streak at Angel Stadium, handing Oakland
its fth scoreless defeat of the year.
Alberto Callaspo had a run-scoring double for
the Angels. Pujols went 3 for 4 with three ineld
singles, pushing the $240 million rst basemans
average from .197 to .212.
Last week in Minnesota, Santana snapped a
nine-game losing streak dating to last season.
Before that 6-2 win, he received just three total
runs of support from his teammates in his rst six
starts combined this season, easily the worst run
support in the majors.
Santana retired every batter between Cliff
Penningtons rst-inning double and Jemile
Weeksbouncing single under Pujolsglove in the
sixth, striking out six of nine on one trip through
the order. He doffed his cap to the cheering crowd
after leaving in the eighth inning, and relievers
Scott Downs and Ernesto Frieri nished.
Colon wasnt awful, but the 38-year-old could-
nt match the eight scoreless innings he threw at
Angel Stadium last month. Hes 0-3 with 43 hits
allowed in his last ve starts since a 3-1 beginning
to the season.

CHICAGO The doctor who operated on
Derrick Roses knee insists the Chicago Bulls
star can dominate again.
It will take time, though.
Rose faces a recovery of eight months to a
year.
The assessment by team physician Dr. Brian
Cole on Tuesday means the point guard could
return around mid-January to early February,
or miss next season. The doctor added there is
a chance Rose could be back sooner, but
were not going to rush it.
The Bulls had already said Rose has a torn
anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Cole
said there were also two
tears in his meniscus carti-
lage.
He said Rose is doing
great, that the surgery
went extremely well and
he can still be an explosive
player.
Its impossible to pre-
dict tomorrow, Cole said
during a news conference
at Chicagos Rush University Medical Center.
Statistically, he should be that player and then
some. That doesnt mean hes guaranteed. Its
a whole lot better than we were accustomed to
years ago. The ligament is one thing and the
meniscus is another. Getting all the things to
heal appropriately is really our goal in the
early phases. Then, its rehab, conditioning
getting his brain connected to his knee, basi-
cally.
General manager Gar Forman insisted the
Bulls wont rush Rose, that they are more
focused on the long term than the short-term
hit theyll take without him. The GM is hope-
ful and optimistic his franchise player will
return next season but isnt sure he will.
In putting this team together, everything
was looking at the big picture, long term,
Forman said. I think its our job to stay
focused on that and to continue to look at what
we feel is a long window of opportunity to
have success and thats how well approach it.
Rose had surgery on Saturday after being
injured two weeks earlier in Chicagos play-
off-opening win over Philadelphia, a major
blow for a team eyeing its rst championship
since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen era.
The Bulls simply werent the same without
their superstar point guard and bowed out in
six games, making them the fth top seed to
lose to an eighth seed.
Chicago was closing out a 103-91 victory in
Game 1 and Rose was showing his MVP form
when everything changed.
He came to a jump stop in the lane with
about 1:20 left and his leg buckled. He went up
again and passed to Carlos Boozer in midair
before crashing to the court, sending a chill
through the arena.
That certainly wasnt what the Bulls envi-

On paper, the Knights are a tough out. But
the playoffs arent played on paper and
Schoof realizes CCS is a different beast than
the regular season. Schoof remembered the
words of former Serra manager Pete Jensen,
who always believed winning a West Catholic
Athletic League championship was better than
a CCS title. Jensen said, and Schoof agrees,
the game of baseball is not about who the best
team is on a particular day, but how it does
over the course of the season. Winning a
league title means a team has been the best
over an extended period of time.
The one-and-done nature of the CCS play-
offs dont always reward the best team just
the best squad on that particular day.
Thats why baseball coaches hate this for-
mat, Schoof said. A good team wins, (but
its) not necessarily the best team.
If anyone knows that lesson its the
Carlmont softball team. Year in and year, the
Scots are among the best squads in all of CCS,
but the Scots who have won seven CCS
titles have gone seven years without one.
Since their last CCS championship in 2004,
the Scots have been the No. 1 seed in Division
I four times, including this season. Yet, they
have advanced to the nals only once during
drought, losing the 2007 nals, and coming up
short in the seminals three times.
Hall of Fame coach Jim Liggett, however, is
practical about the matter.
You get into CCS, all the teams are pretty
good and you need only one loss (to be elimi-
nated), Liggett said. Were very happy with
the year weve have. By no means, if we dont
win it, can you say we didnt have a good
year.
The Scots strength this year may be their
depth. Liggett can turn to one of four different
pitchers, all who bring something different to
the table. Danielle Giuliacci and Rebecca
Faulkner, both sophomores, have carried a
bulk of the starting load, combining for a 19-
3 record. Senior Aurora Stottler, a starter the
rst two years of her career at Carlmont, has
settled nicely into the role of closer, nishing
the regular season with 10 saves.
Offensively, the Scots boast a team batting
average of .337, led by senior second baseman
Kelly Robinson, who is hitting a robust .493
with 30 RBI.
We feel very good about our chances,
Liggett said. We tell [the team] the whole
season has got us to this point. We want to n-
ish out strong.
(But) if they go out on the eld and know
they played as well as they can, thats what
Im looking for.
No defending champ better epitomized the
roller-coaster ride that is the CCS playoffs
than the Capuchino softball team. The
Mustangs were involved in one of the most
entertaining and exciting nals in recent mem-
ory, when they held off Santa Catalina 5-4 in
the 2011 Division III nal, with Capuchino
throwing out the tying run at second base to
end the game in the bottom of the seventh.
Its such a hard road to get to the nals,
said Capuchino coach Todd Grammatico.
You look back and you realize, not only does
everything have to fall into place, there is a lot
of luck involved.
Unlike Schoof or Liggett, however,
Grammatico said CCS is where its at when it
comes to dening a season.
Its nice to win league championships (the
Mustangs finished third in the PAL Bay
Division this season), I just think CCS is the
thing we play for, Grammatico said. The
brackets line up perfectly. Were the No. 7
seed, we beat the No. 2 seed already this year.
I think we stand a good chance of getting to
the seminals and then well see how it goes.
While defense may win championships in
other sports, championships in softball usual-
ly go to the team that comes up with the clutch
hit at the right time. With dominating pitching
being a given at this time of year, a well-timed
hit can be the difference between a 1-0 or 2-1
game.
Ive preached that to the kids for years. At
this time of year, youre playing one-run
games, Grammatico said. We have to hit
because we dont have the dominant pitching
(we had last year).
Were on a six-game (winning) streak now
and our bats have been much better than they
have been throughout the season.
Hitting, pitching, defense all good teams
possess them. Its the ones that turn negatives
into positives, the ones who make the spectac-
ular plays look routine, the ones who have that
certain it who will win a CCS title.

CCS
A good team wins, (but its) not
necessarily the best team.
Craig Schoof,
Menlo School baseball manager
Alec Drobac scored 28 points by himself,
which tied him for most points won by an indi-
vidual. He was second in the 300 hurdles and
triple jump, and took third in the long jump and
the 110 high hurdles.
He shined, Fitzgerald said. He had personal
bests in almost all the events.
Heru Peacock scored 16 points, with a second-
place nish in the long jump, third in the high
jump and fth in the 100. Conor Shanley was sec-
ond in the discus and third in the shot put, while
sprinter Max Parker nished fourth in the 400 and
200.
The Menlo boys accomplished all that with a
relatively large team, at least compared to the
Menlo girls squad. The Knights boys team has
about 16 athletes and Fitzgerald can have them
compete in nearly every event. The girls, howev-
er, accomplished the team championship with just
eight athletes and getting all of half a point in
the eld events.
That put all the pressure on the running events
and the Knights still managed to hold off all com-
ers.
It helps to have quality athletes like Maddy
Price and Laura Gradiska, who each won four
titles. Both were members of the championship
4x100 and 4x400 relay teams with the former
setting a school record with a time of 50.19.
Price took home individual titles by winning the
400 and the 800, while Gradiska earned her indi-
vidual double with wins in the 100 and 300 hur-
dles setting a personal best by nearly two sec-
onds in the 300 hurdles.
All the kids, they knew ahead of time, they
needed to score points. It was just give your best
and hope it all works out, Fitzgerald said. We
had no margin for error.
Morgan Dressel picked up the Knights other
individual title, winning the shot put with a mark
of 32 feet, 1/2 inch.
Although she didnt win any individual titles,
Fitzgerald was impressed by the performance of
senior Shannon Lacy, who is competing in her
rst year of track. She ran the third leg on both
relay teams and set a personal best in the 100, n-
ishing fourth in a time of 13.91.
She was critical (in winning the team title),
Fitzgerald said.
While the Central Coast Section champi-
onships are held this week and the state meet is
three weeks away, there is still work to do for the
Menlo track and eld teams.
But for Fitzgerald, anything now is just icing on
the cake.
[Winning the team titles at WBALs] is a sea-
son maker. This was the pinnacle, the moment,
Fitzgerald said. It was so cool to win both. The
kids are really excited. Its great for them. They
peaked at the right time.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MENLO SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Laura Gradiska was one of two Menlo athletes to win four titles at the WBAL championships.
In addition to capturing the 4x100 and 4x400 titles, Gradiksa captured the 100 and 300
hurdle races as well.
about 40 minutes after the youngster and his
mother and their attorneys presented arguments
for allowing him to continue. The boys high
school eld hockey coach also attended.
Ofcials previously cited the fact that Keeling
was named to an all-conference team after scoring
10 goals and eight assists as an eighth-grader
playing on the Southampton varsity last season.
But the boys supporters said another girl also
made the all-conference team also was an eighth-
grader. They noted that Keelings skills did not
earn him the more prestigious all-county honors,
and also pointed out that Southamptons squad
nished in fourth place in its conference last year.
In order to play with the girls after moving to
New York from Ireland, Keeling had to get per-
mission from Suffolks mixed-competition com-
mittee, which screens players who want to com-
pete on teams of the opposite sex. There have
been several occasions where girls have been
approved to play football, wrestle or compete in
other traditional boys sports, but Keeling is
believed to be the rst boy to play alongside girls
on Long Island.

LONDON The head of English
soccer has raised concerns with UEFA
President Michel Platini that players
and fans could be racially abused at
European Championship matches in
Ukraine.
English authorities have been warn-
ing that far-right soccer hooligans could
spark racist violence at the tournament
this summer, which is being co-hosted
with Poland.
I had a meeting with Michel Platini
two weeks ago and I raised the subject
with him, Football Association chair-
man David Bernstein said Tuesday.
UEFA are taking the whole potential
situation very, very seriously.
Anti-racism groups investigated an
18-month period up to March 2011 and
found 195 incidents at matches in
Poland and Ukraine.
All three of Englands group stage
matches are in Ukraine, and referees
have the power to stop matches if play-
ers are being racially abused.
We are working on all sorts of con-
tingency plans both for possible issues
in stadia or outside the stadia,
Bernstein told a British parliamentary
hearing into soccer racism. There are
all sorts of things that could happen in
Ukraine. We sincerely hope they dont
happen, but we are preparing very care-
fully for any eventualities.
A 24-strong British police presence
will be in Poland and Ukraine.
I think football hooliganism is more
of a problem in the Ukraine than per-
haps it is at home, said assistant chief
constable Andy Holt, who is heading
the British police delegation at Euro
2012. I dont think they are as
advanced in dealing with racism.
English soccer, though, has been
grappling with its own renewed prob-
lems with racism in the past year.
John Terry is due to face trial in July
on a charge of racially abusing Queens
Park Rangers defender Anton
Ferdinand during a Premier League
match in October, which led to the
Chelsea defender being stripped of the
England captaincy.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez served
an eight-match ban for racially abusing
Manchester United left back Patrice
Evra, who is black, during another
October match. Suarez was initially
backed by Liverpool, whose players
were condemned by anti-racism groups
for wearing T-shirts featuring the
Uruguayans picture in a show of soli-
darity.
While not commenting on the Suarez
case, Bernstein criticized clubs for
backing players even if they are
accused of serious offenses like racism.
Clubs do tend to act like a large
family. They do tend to rally round and
support each other. They do tend to
draw the wagons around and this sort of
they all hate us type of thing that makes
us stronger, Bernstein said. Its some-
thing thats prevalent in many if not
most clubs. ... Should clubs be more
introspective? Yes, I think they should
attempt to be, most certainly.

Milkshake thats creamy,
sweeter and ... healthier
By Alison Ladman
Milkshakes are gloriously frosty, creamy, sweet concoctions
made from ice cream, syrups and other empty calorie delights.
Theyre the sort of thing you want to indulge in all the time,
but shouldnt. So we set out to make one that would not be
quite so bad for you, but still satisfying.
Of course, the obvious route would be to go directly to milk-
shakes sometimes healthier cousin, the smoothie. Made from
yogurt and fruit, this blended beverage lives in gyms and
health clubs. But while smoothies are ne, they arent real
milkshakes. We really wanted a milkshake.
For the frosty part of our milkshake, we went with sorbet, a
frozen blend of fruit and sugar. Though high in sugar, sorbets
generally have no fat. Plus, they pack an intensely fruity avor.
You could substitute a low-fat sherbet, sorbets milkier cousin,
but the avor would not be as strong.
For creaminess, we went with cottage cheese. It may sound
unusual, but the curds blend smooth with a rich and creamy
texture. Add in a bit of fat-free half-and-half and we had a seri-
ously good milkshake.
For a chocolate version, blend 2 tablespoons of cocoa pow-
der into the mix until smooth.
ORANGE DREAMSICLE MILKSHAKE
Start to nish: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
1 cup orange sorbet (mango also is good)
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
In a blender, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth. If
you prefer a thinner consistency, drizzle in additional half-and-
half while the blender is running until you get the desired con-
sistency. Serve immediately.

HAVANA Foreign art lovers are
breaking bread with Cuban waiters, driv-
ers and parking lot attendants this week
in a unique experience that forces diners
and chefs alike to overcome barriers of
culture, language and ve-plus decades
of animosity between Washington and
Havana.
Ten prominent New York City chefs
are teaming up this week with 10 culi-
nary entrepreneurs from Havanas bud-
ding private restaurant scene, cooking up
savory and sweet multi-course meals
from an improvised kitchen built in a
shipping container. The diners are most-
ly foreigners in town for a major art
exhibition and Cubans who are being
invited to participate in the free meals by
the visiting chefs who meet them during
the course of their stay.
Blending contemporary American,
Italian, Japanese, even Burmese cuisines
with Caribbean Creole classics, its a
rare culinary treat in a country where
many state-run and independent restau-
rants serve up dull, unimaginative fare.
Its also a performance art spectacle
thats about bridging the gap between
estranged neighbors and socioeconomic
classes.
The easiest and most interesting way
into understanding another culture is
food, said Sara Jenkins, the projects
chef director and proprietor of East
Village eateries Porchetta and Porsena.
And the easiest, most uncomplicated
way to make friends is to break bread at
the same table.
Project Paladar, named after Cubas
popular independent restaurants, is part
of Havanas 11th Biennial, an irreverent
bash attracting 180 artists from 43 coun-
tries as well as thousands of art aciona-
dos and collectors. The dining project is
being funded by the donations of
American individuals.
For 10 days the chefs will take turns
pairing off and serving up gourmet
meals in the back patio of a cultural cen-
ter in colonial Old Havana. Guests are
greeted with a mojito and escorted to a
table for 12 in homage to the maximum
number of seats that the government
allowed paladars to have when they rst
opened in the 1990s.
With two tables of 12 seats, the organ-
izers plan to feed up to ve groups, or as
many as 60 people, every evening.
At the projects Friday night launch,
an aproned Jenkins sweated over a pan
of Burmese coconut-milk curry sauce,
preparing it to poach lets of freshly
caught red snapper. Accompanying the
main dish were tuna tartar and a green
mango salad that one could order take-
out in New York but particularly tickled
the palates of Cuban food professionals.
Conversation at the tables was lively
as diners introduced themselves, hesi-
tantly tried out second languages and
turned to bilingual guests to translate
reactions to each course: Is this basil?

Even a poorly executed milkshake still
is probably pretty good. But to elevate
the classic cool treat to a higher level of
indulgence, tips from a milkshake mas-
ter can help.
For that, we turn to Spike
Mendelsohn, veteran of season four of
Bravos Top Chef and creator of
Washingtons Good Stuff Eatery, as
famous for its milkshakes including a
to-die-for toasted marshmallow variety
as for its burgers.
To help usher in summer, Mendelsohn
created a shake especially for the
Associated Press. Inspired by smores,
that classic campre treat of toasted
marshmallows, graham crackers and
chocolate, Mendelsohn picked avors he
hoped would appeal to people all across
the country.
Its a shake that everyone can relate
to, he said during a shake-making ses-
sion at his new Good Stuff location in
Crystal City, Va. Smores are some-
thing everyone had growing up. Its the
kind of shake that puts a smile on peo-
ples faces.
To capture the thick, creamy, malt-
shop quality of a great shake no matter
what the variety, Mendelsohn offered the
following tips.
Start with frozen custard. Super-
thick and richer than ice cream with
more butterfat, custard will give your
shake a silky texture and stuck-in-the-
straw consistency. To me, its the ulti-
mate ingredient, Mendelsohn says.
Frozen custard is available in many gro-
cers, and can be shipped overnight from
online creameries. If all else fails,
Mendelsohn says, use the highest butter-
fat ice cream you can nd.
The right stuff. What ruins a milk-
shake is the equipment, he says.
Blenders infuse too much heat and fric-
tion where the blade spins, and that will
melt your custard, resulting in a watery
consistency. Instead, invest in an old-
fashioned shake mixer the kind with
the single prong and metal cup avail-
able online for about $30. The metal cup
is key, he says, because it keeps all the
ingredients cold while theyre being
churned.
Use a plain vanilla base. Like with
art, you start with a blank, white canvas,
Mendelsohn says. Use plain vanilla cus-
tard and you can add elements that pop.
Toasted marshmallows, malted milk
balls, candy, cookies and fruit purees are
a good start. The only exception is for
chocolate shakes, he says, which should
start with chocolate custard.
Texture makes your mouth happy.
For smooth shakes, such as banana or
plain chocolate, you want a super
smooth consistency. For cookie shakes,
or something with elements like malt
balls or coconut, give it a little crunch
throughout. People like chunks, he
says.

Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
16-ounce bag jumbo marshmallows
2 cups whole milk
2 cups chocolate ice cream (get the
highest butterfat content possible)
1 tablespoon sour cream
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Heat the oven to broil. Line a baking
sheet with parchment paper.
Reserve 4 marshmallows for garnish.
Spread the remaining marshmallows on
the prepared baking sheet in a single
layer. Place the sheet pan under the
broiler and cook, stirring once or twice,
until completely charred, about 2 to 3
minutes. Remove from the oven and set
aside to cool.
Repeat with the remaining 4 marsh-
mallows, but cook until just slightly
golden, about 1 minute. Remove from
the oven and set aside to cool.
In a blender, combine the milk, ice
cream, sour cream and burnt marshmal-
lows. Blend for 5 minutes.
Pour the chocolate syrup into a shal-
low bowl. One at a time, overturn four 8-
ounce glasses and dunk in the syrup to
coat the rims. Pour the milkshake mix-
ture into the glasses and garnish each
with one of the reserved toasted marsh-
mallows and the crumbled graham
crackers.
Nothing beats a smores shake
A millkshake is good, but a smore nspired shake is better.

No, its mint!
I think this is an experience that has never been done in the
Biennial, a very interesting sociocultural project, said Kenia
Echenique, a 25-year-old lawyer and actress who fanned her
mouth after consuming the curry but said she enjoyed the a-
vor before the heat kicked in. I think this can enrich our cul-
ture, our paladars, and contribute to exchange between our
nations.
In the kitchen everythings simple. A sauce is a sauce, said
Hector Higuera Martinez, Jenkins cooking partner and the
man behind the stylish Le Chansonnier in Havanas Vedado
neighborhood. These things we have in common, independ-
ent of the language barrier. It has been spontaneous.
Project Paladar is the brainchild of Craig Shillitto, a New
York architect, artist and restaurant designer who was fascinat-
ed to read about the explosion of private restaurants in Cuba
after President Raul Castro revived a 1990s policy allowing
them to exist, then lifted many restrictions that kept them from
ourishing.
Many paladars are still little better than Cubas dreary state
restaurants and must contend with the daily struggle to nd
ingredients on an island long accustomed to scarcity. Some are
languishing as they struggle to tap the limited number of visit-
ing tourists and other foreigners, and the small number of
Cubans with enough disposable income to patronize private
restaurants.
But an increasing number of paladar owners are forming a
maturing restaurant scene with creative, experimental chefs
who are out to change Cubas reputation for culinary bland-
ness.
Its hard to educate people .... because rice, beans, roast
pork are really linked to our history, Higuera said. Many
(chefs) stick with whats easy to nd. But I think there are
many people who want to try different things.
Part of the inspiration behind Project Paladar was to sup-
port Cubas budding foodie culture.
The idea that people still cared about food and cuisine and
still tried hard despite having no market for it was fascinating,
Shillitto said.

LAFCo pushed up the districts regu-
larly scheduled review after two former
nance employers were charged with
embezzling more than $400,000 and
questions arose over the internal organi-
zation that may have contributed. Based
on the review, the LAFCo board could
choose to uphold the current district,
recommend dissolution and folding into
another county function or changes to
the 21-member board of trustees.
The draft report known as a munic-
ipal service review and sphere of inu-
ence released last month concluded
dissolution could save hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars and recommended the
district adopt a budget with a narrative
format detailing revenue and their uses
in a way that can be independently read
and understood by the public.
According to Cassmans letter, the dis-
trict has already made changes including
a new internal control manual requiring
the district manager to perform nal ver-
ication of employee benets and sever-
al other programs, terminating the use of
wire transfers, using an identity theft
program to protect employee privacy
and as recommended by LAFCo
using a narrative budget report.
Cassman emphasized that the criti-
cism lodged at the district has not been
of its technical operations or ability to
perform its duties so a reorganization
would potentially interfere with and
disrupt its work controlling mosquitoes
and vectors to prevent disease like West
Nile virus.
Similarly, the letter argues there is lit-
tle to be gained and possibly much to be
lost by transferring its operations to the
county of San Mateo or any other
agency.
The district is governed by a represen-
tative appointed by each city and county
with land within the district and funded
by a share of the 1 percent property tax
and $3.74 parcel tax for areas within the
original boundaries, essentially the
Bayside from the Santa Clara County
boundary to Millbrae and from the Bay
to the Skyline area. The district also
receives a $17 benet assessment from
parcels in the remainder of the county
which was annexed in 2003 following
LAFCos rst municipal review when it
wanted to expand countywide in
response to the pending West Nile virus.
The district has largely own under
the public radar but caught attention
after prosecutors charged two former
employees who they say between 2009
and 2011 embezzled more than $450,00
by giving themselves extra pay at a high-
er rate and fraudulent time off, exces-
sively contributed to their deferred com-
pensation funds, used credit cards for
personal purchases and electronically
transferred money into their own
accounts. The alleged embezzlement
came to light last year when a trustee
questioned expenses in the districts pes-
ticide account.
At the time, the finance director
charged had been prosecuted in two dif-
ferent embezzlement cases and the for-
mer operations director told LAFCo
there were at least three other people
who should have seen the problems,
including the district manager.
LAFCo meets at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,
May 16, Board of Supervisors
Chambers, 400 County Government
Center, Redwood City.

negative declaration.
Part of the board-adopted facilities plan
funds were set aside for the installation. In
addition, the school has hosted a handful of
night games using temporary lights to allow
the district to gather information on traffic,
attendance, light and noise. One issue
already identified is a need for additional
parking should the school start hosting
night games, according to a pervious staff
report.
District officials are proposing similar
rules to what has been set up at Menlo-
Atherton High School. The PA system, for
example, is expected to be off by 10 p.m.
after evening football games and 9 p.m.
during all other evening games and special
events. Lights would be on until 10:30 p.m.
after football games and 9 p.m. after other
events. The district is also open to allowing
the lights to be used for other events such as
for charter school and community sports
groups.
Menlo-Atherton High School was the
most recent school in the district to have
lights installed. The process was a long one
which started in 2010 but was delayed due
to a lawsuits from neighbors who felt possi-
ble problems were not being addressed.
Rules were set up after to work with the
neighbors. Those same regulations seem to
be guiding the suggested rules for using the
lights at Carlmont.
The board meets 5:30 p.m. Wednesday,
May 16 at the District Office, 480 James
Ave., Redwood City.

necessary although District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe wasnt sure if that was necessary.
Elarms has been taking his required drugs vol-
untarily while back at the county jail,
Wagstaffe said.
Elarms appeared in San Mateo County
Superior Court yesterday morning for a judge
to certify his return to competency but the
matter was put off until May 24 while his
court-appointed attorney Jeff Boyarsky
decides whether to agree or seek a trial on the
mental nding. Competency is a persons
ability to aid in his or her own defense.
Boyarsky did not return a call for comment.
Meanwhile, Elarms remains in custody
without bail. If Elarms is tried, he faces
charges of rst-degree murder and gun use
plus the special allegation of lying in wait
which made him eligible for the death penalty
or life in prison without parole. Before crimi-
nal proceedings were halted by the competen-
cy question, prosecutors decided not to seek
death. His mental history was a primary rea-
son as was the predominance of drug offenses
on his extensive criminal record, Wagstaffe
said.
Elarms, of the East Bay city of Pittsburg, is
accused of following Lewis, 54, from the San
Mateo Medical Center where he was an out-
reach worker to the parking lot of Hillsdale
Shopping Center on June 9, 2010. Just before
6 p.m., Elarms allegedly pulled a .44-caliber
gun and shot Lewis in the torso.
During a preliminary hearing on the mur-
der and gun charges, a San Mateo police
detective testied that Elarms believed gang-
members were after him and that Lewis, once
his friend, was now his opponent. The two
men knew each other as teens in East Palo
Alto. Lewis uttered the name Greg before
dying but police made no arrests until con-
tacted by Elarms six months after the shoot-
ing. Elarms rst said he needed protection
from Lewis killers but later admitted to
killing him.
Lewis was known as a community activist
and rehabilitation counselor who overcame
addiction. Lewis went to San Quentin State
Prison at age 19 and, after 15 years, returned
to East Palo Alto. He co-founded Free at Last,
a 15-year-old East Palo Alto-based nonprot
agency that provides services for recovering
drug addicts.

Freedom Party.
Feinland declared herself a socialist at the
San Mateo forum and was immediately
booed.
Shifrens comments, however, were
applauded.
Were getting sucker-punched because we
as white yes I said it! as white, Christian
Americans are being taught that somehow we
are to blame for all the problems, according
to the YouTube video.
Shifren, also known as the Surng Rabbi,
is an Orthodox Lubavitcher Chassidic rabbi
and has been aligned with the conservative
English Defense League, which opposes the
spread of Sharia law.
Local GOP Chair Chuck McDougald did
not attend the May 3 event and had not heard
that Shifrens speech was considered hateful
until Tuesday.
He traveled 600 miles just to spew hate?
His comments do not come from me or the
Republican Party I represent, McDougald
said Tuesday.
Although Shifren is running for Feinsteins
seat as a Republican he told the Daily Journal
Tuesday the GOP can go straight to hell.
My Libertys Leonard Stone was the mod-
erator of the May 3 forum.
We invited all candidates to speak without
restriction, Stone told the Daily Journal.
The whole purpose of the meeting was to
allow people to hear the candidates mes-
sages.
Stone said Shifren made other comments
related to serving in the military that turned
him off even before he made the
Islamaphobe comment.
I dont support him. Hes not a viable can-
didate, Stone said.
The forum did get a little unruly, he said, as
some audience members interrupted candi-
dates with whom they did not agree.
He also said some applauded during
Shifrens speech while others did not.
The Council on American-Islamic
Relations along with Jewish Voice for Peace
and Progressive Christians Uniting released a
joint statement Monday about the rabbis
comments.
There should be no place for hate speech
of any kind in our nations political discourse.
Whenever one faith or ethnicity is targeted by
hate, it is our duty as Americans to challenge
that hatred and to instead promote mutual
understanding and tolerance, the three
groups wrote in a statement.
CAIRs Bay Area chapter Executive
Director Zahra Billoo said Shifren is another
example of a conservative candidate who is
not selling ideas but rather hate.
The Republican Party has had a number of
candidates use hate speech in recent cam-
paigns, she said. We are frightened to see it
here in California.
CAIR has some comfort that Shifren is not
a viable candidate, Billoo said. The bigger
danger, she said, is the people who rally
around hate speech.
But Shifren said he just says things that oth-
ers are afraid to say.
After the San Mateo forum, audience mem-
bers told the rabbi you say what we think,
Shifren said.
There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world,
Shifren said, and only 1 percent of them
want to kill us. Thats 1.5 million people.
Thats a lot.
Shifren is one of 24 candidates on the June
5 primary ballot for Feinsteins U.S. Senate
seat.

Greece to head to polls
again after talks collapse
ATHENS, Greece Greece headed into a
month of political uncertainty after power-
sharing talks collapsed Tuesday, triggering
new elections that could determine whether
the country retains its tenuous position in
Europes currency.
Nine tortured days of fruitless talks to
build a coalition government fueled increas-
ing doubt that Greece can make enough
reforms to prevent the worlds largest cur-
rency union from fracturing.
We expect the euro to remain under pres-
sure as a result of this, and pressure on the
borrowing costs, the bond yields, of coun-
tries like Spain and Italy to persist, said
John Bowler, director of the Economist
Intelligence Units Country Risk Service.
No date has been set for the elections, but
they will have to be held by mid-June the
month in which Greece must make more
spending cuts to ensure it meets the terms of
its international bailout.
A caretaker government will be appointed
until then.
