Mayor dies of heart attack

San Carlos colleagues shocked at Omar Ahmad’s sudden death
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad,
known for his humor and long history
with Silicon Valley ventures as much as
his civic duty, died early Tuesday morn-
ing of a heart attack at age 46.
The news left City Hall shocked, with
the flag immediately lowered to half
staff and officials struggling to reconcile
the news with the smiling man they saw
at a council meeting the previous night.
When the council broke from its

Brian Moura.
“We were just saying, see ya tomor-
row,” Moura said.
Ahmad called 911 himself after feel-
ing ill around 7 a.m. yesterday. Belmont-
San Carlos firefighters arrived at his
Geranium Lane home at 7:13 a.m. He
was pronounced dead at 8:01 a.m. on
arrival at Sequoia Hospital, said Coroner
Robert Foucrault.
Details of Ahmad’s cardiac health
were not disclosed but he had enough of
a history that his death was declared nat-
ural without need of an autopsy,
Foucrault said.
Ahmad, who would have been 47 next
month, is survived by his parents in
Florida, two sisters and a brother.
Ahmad was elected to the City Council
in 2007 and took the gavel in December,
making him one of the nation’s few

Burlingame names new superintendent
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Dr. Maggie MacIsaac, assistant superin-
tendent of the Castro Valley Unified School
District, was unanimously named the new
superintendent of Burlingame schools
Tuesday evening.
MacIsaac, who will officially take the helm
as superintendent July 1, will fill the vacancy
left by Superintendent Dianne Talarico who
announced her retirement in January for med-
ical reasons. Judson Kempson, assistant
superintendent of educational services, was
named as the interim for the remainder of the
school year.
MacIsaac expressed her happiness to join
such a high-quality district with a lot of
parental involvement and student engagement.
“I look forward to working with everyone,”
she said during a 15-minute break during the
Board of Trustees meeting in which MacIsaac
took the opportunity to introduce herself to
many in the audience.
Board President Mark Intrieri noted the
interview process included many stellar candi-
LOCAL/STATE
dates. After it was finished, MacIsaac was
clearly the best match for the district, he said.
Intrieri also thanked CBO Robert Clark for
filling in during Talarico’s absence.
MacIsaac brings experience as an elemen-
tary, middle and high school teacher and
administrator. Currently, MacIsaac is serving
as the assistant superintendent of the Castro
Valley Unified School District. In that role,
she is most proud of her work collaborating
with teachers on the new common core stan-
dards, 21st century skills and a response to
intervention structure that serves the needs of
all students.
MacIsaac holds a doctorate in educational
leadership from the University of La Verne, a
master’s degree from California University of
East Bay, and a bachelor’s degree from the
California State University Northridge. She
earned her teaching credential at St. Mary’s
College in Moraga.
She and her husband Patrick have three
adult children. She enjoys hiking, skiing and
bike riding with her family.
The details of MacIsaac’s contract were not
immediately available. Intrieri noted the total
compensation package is similar to former
superintendent Talarico.
Talarico joined the district in 2008, replac-
ing outgoing Sonny Da Marto. She came to
Burlingame after a two-year stint as superin-
tendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu School
District.
Burlingame is just one district that will
name a new superintendent for the coming
school year. In December, Howard Cohen,
South San Francisco Unified School District
superintendent, resigned effective June 30. In
Cohen’s case, he is on administrative leave
and retains his title while collecting salary
until that time. In January, Ken Ranella,
superintendent of the Menlo Park City
Elementary School District, announced plans
to retire. Pendery Clark, 10-year leader of the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District, recently announced plans to retire at
the end of the school year.

Parents press tax hikes to fund schools
By Lien Hoang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Parent groups joined
California teachers Tuesday on the front lines
of a weeklong series of rallies against the pos-
sibility of deep budget cuts to education,
demanding that state lawmakers raise revenue
to adequately fund public schools.
At a rally outside the state Capitol, they
warned that without the added revenue,
schools could face disastrous repercussions:
Class sizes could swell, the school year could
lose a month, extra-curricular activities could
disappear, and thousands of school employees
could be out of work.
“We must invest in our future, or we will be
the first generation to leave our children with
fewer opportunities than we had,” said Debbie
Look, legislation director for the California
State PTA.
The California Teachers Association, the
state’s largest teachers union, organized the
week of demonstrations, which began
Monday and will end Friday with rallies in
cities throughout the state. Monday’s rallies
ended with about 150 activists occupying the
rotunda area of the state Capitol, and several
dozen were arrested after they refused to leave

Report: Overhaul needed for high-speed rail Cal State: No fat left to
By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The state’s
independent analyst on Tuesday
called for major changes to
California’s high-speed rail plans,
including delaying the fast-tracked
project and removing its oversight
from an independent board.
Management at the California
High-Speed Rail Authority is inad-
equate to guarantee that the pro-
ject’s first phase, which would link
San Francisco to Los Angeles and
Anaheim, will be developed suc-
cessfully, the report by the
Legislative Analyst’s Office said.
The cost for that first phase was
estimated in 2009 at $43 billion.
But estimates for early stages of the
project have grown by as much as
57 percent since then, the report
warned, while funding sources are
uncertain and subject to political
winds.
Those factors, along with
strings attached to the feder-
al money already received
and a lack of reliable
information about the
huge transportation sys-
tem, “pose threats to the
high-speed rail project’s
successful development,”
according the report.
Analysts recommended that law-
makers slow down the project,
which is supported with nearly $10
billion in voter-approved bonds,
and shift operational and strategic
oversight to the state Department of
Transportation. The report called on
lawmakers to cut $185 million in
funding requested for the project,
which is scheduled to start con-
struction next year.
“You have to have really good
information to make decisions on a
project of this size,” said
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor.
The risks of high-speed rail are
LOCAL/STATE
substantial, but so are the
potential benefits, Taylor
said. “We’re trying to
make the project as suc-
cessful as possible,” and
one way to do that is to
ensure that the first seg-
ments built provide the
most benefit to the public
and have a chance to draw
enough riders and revenue to sup-
port their own operation, he added.
The rail authority will review the
recommendations and work with
the Legislature to address its con-
cerns, said Roelof van Ark, the
agency’s chief executive officer.
“I believe this project has been
successful thus far because it has
strived to operate more like a pri-
vate business than a typical govern-
ment bureaucracy,” he said in a
statement.
High-speed rail backers warned
that the LAO approach could
endanger the project.

Pair fleeing scene of Local briefs DeSmidt said Castellanos and

break-in spark police chase
Two people fleeing the scene of an
auto break-in led Belmont police on a
brief car chase early Tuesday morning,
police said.
The pair was seen entering a parked
car in the 3500 block of Hillcrest Drive
at about 4 a.m., according to police.
When officers arrived, they saw a
vehicle being driven away from the
scene. Officers attempted to stop the
vehicle, but the driver failed to yield
and a two- to five-minute chase ensued,
Belmont police Capt. Dan DeSmidt
said.
The pursuit ended in a nearby resi-
dential neighborhood in San Carlos
when the driver lost control and
crashed into a front yard.
Montara resident Travis Castellanos,
21, and Pacifica resident Danielle
Gonzalez, 19, the driver and passenger,
were caught and taken to a hospital to
be treated for minor injuries they suf-
fered in the crash.
No one else was injured in the pur-
suit, DeSmidt said.
Castellanos and Gonzalez were
booked into San Mateo County Jail
Tuesday morning for violating parole
and probation terms, and charges of
evading police, possessing stolen prop-
erty, theft and criminal conspiracy are
expected to be added, DeSmidt said.
Gonzalez may have been involved in
several other auto burglaries in
Belmont this week.

Mississippi braces for flood
By Holbrook Mohr and Shelia Byrd
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUNICA, Miss. — The bulging Mississippi
River rolled into the fertile Mississippi Delta
on Tuesday, threatening to swamp antebellum
mansions, wash away shotgun shacks, and
destroy fields of cotton, rice and corn in a
flood of historic proportions.
The river took aim at one of the most pover-
ty-stricken parts of the country after cresting
before daybreak at Memphis, Tenn., just inch-
es short of the record set in 1937. Some low-
lying neighborhoods were inundated, but the
city’s high levees protected much of the rest of
Memphis.
Over the past week or so in the Delta, flood-
waters along the rain-swollen river and its
backed-up tributaries have already washed
away crops, forced many people to flee to
higher ground and closed some of the dock-
side casinos that are vital to the state’s econo-
my.
But the worst is yet to come, with the crest
expected to roll through the Delta over the
next few days. The damage in Memphis was
estimated at more than $320 million as the
serious flooding began, and an official tally
won’t be available until the waters recede.
To the south, there were no early figures on
the devastation, but with hundreds of homes
already damaged, “we’re going to have a lot
more when the water gets to where it’s never
been before,” said Greg Flynn, a spokesman
for the Mississippi emergency management
agency.
Across the region, federal officials anxious-
ly checked and reinforced the levees, some of
which could be put to their sternest test ever.
About 10 miles north of Vicksburg,
Miss., contractors lined one side of what is
known as a backwater levee with big sheets
of plastic to keep it from eroding if flood-
waters flow over it as feared — something
that has never happened to the levee since it

was built in the 1970s.
In Vicksburg, at the southern tip of the rich
alluvial soil in the central part of the state, the
river was projected to peak on Saturday just
above the record set during the cataclysmic
Great Flood of 1927. The town was the site of
a pivotal Civil War battle and is home to thou-
sands of soldier graves.
Wearing rubber boots and watching fish
swim up and down his street, William
Jefferson stood on a high spot in his neighbor-
hood just outside Vicksburg. He said he had
not had a hot meal since water started coming
into his house a few days ago. On Tuesday, the
house was under at least 3 feet water, as were
dozens of other homes in the neighborhood.
Nearby, his brother Milton cast a fishing rod.

“At least we can catch something fresh to
eat, because we ain’t got no icebox or elec-
tricity,” he said with a smile. Then the pair
playfully debated whether they would actual-
ly eat anything caught in the filthy floodwa-
ters.
“If you eat a fish right now, you won’t live
to see the water go down,” William Jefferson
said.
Jimmy Mitchell, 46, and his wife and two
children have been living in a loaned camper
for more than week at a civic arena in Tunica.
“There’s no sewage hookup. You go in a
barn to take a shower,” said Mitchell, who is
from the small community of Cutoff. “We
have no time frame on how long we can stay.”

Appeals court blasts VA
mental health care system
SAN FRANCISCO — Noting that an aver-
age of 18 veterans a day commit suicide, a
federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered the
Department of Veterans Affairs to dramatical-
ly overhaul its mental health care system.
In the strongly worded ruling, the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals said it takes the
department an average of four years to fully
provide the mental health benefits owed veter-
ans.
The court also said it often takes weeks for
a suicidal vet to get a first appointment.
The “unchecked incompetence” in handling
the flood of post-traumatic stress disorder and
other mental health claims is unconstitutional,
the court said.
“No more veterans should be compelled to
agonize or perish while the government fails
to perform its obligations,” Judge Stephen
Reinhardt wrote for the three-judge panel.
“Having chosen to honor and provide for our
veterans by guaranteeing them the mental
health care and other critical benefits to which
they are entitled, the government may not
deprive them of that support through unchal-
lengeable and interminable delays.”
Cellphone alert system
announced in New York City
NEW YORK — The U.S. government and
local authorities will soon be able to reach
people directly on their cellphones to warn
them of imminent danger or alert them about
missing children — even in the middle of a
widespread emergency that overloads com-
munications systems as happened after the
Sept. 11 attacks, officials said Tuesday.
The emergency alert system will be used
only for critical national messages from the
president, information in life-threatening situ-
ations and Amber Alerts meant to widen the
search for missing or abducted youngsters,
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg
announced Tuesday.

Report:Up to 44 million more Obama to push immigration overhaul

uninsured under GOP budget
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House
Republican budget would leave up
to 44 million more low-income peo-
ple uninsured as the federal govern-
ment cuts states’ Medicaid funding
by about one-third over the next 10
years, nonpartisan groups said in a
report issued Tuesday.
The analysis by the Kaiser Family
Foundation and the Urban Institute
concluded that Medicaid’s role as
the nation’s safety net health care
program would be “significantly
compromised ... with no obvious
alternative to take its place,” if the
GOP budget is adopted.
The plan passed by House
Republicans last month on a party-
line vote calls for sweeping health
care changes, potentially even more
significant than President Barack
Obama’s insurance overhaul. So far,
most of the attention has gone to the
Republican proposal to convert
Medicare into a voucher-like system
for future retirees. But Medicaid
would also be transformed.
The Republican budget has no
chance of passing the Democratic-led
Senate, or being signed into law by
Obama. But individual components
could advance as part of debt reduc-
tion talks between Vice President Joe
Biden and congressional leaders.
A spokesman for the author of the
GOP budget, Rep. Paul Ryan of
Wisconsin, challenged the study’s
assumptions. The Republican plan
will allow Medicaid to grow “at a
sustainable rate, so that the health
care safety net will be there for
those that need it most,” said Conor
Sweeney.
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama is making his first trip
as president to the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der, using the setting to sharpen his
call for a remake of the nation’s immi-
gration laws and try to cast the GOP
as the obstacle standing in its way.
The president’s speech in El Paso,
Texas, on Tuesday, and his visit to a
border crossing there, are the latest
high-profile immigration events by
Obama, who has also hosted meet-
ings at the White House recently
with Latino lawmakers, movie stars
and others.
It all comes despite an unfavor-
able climate on Capitol Hill, where
Republicans who control the House
have shown no interest in legislation
that offers a pathway to citizenship
for the nation’s 11 million illegal
immigrants. That’s led to criticism
that Obama’s efforts are little more
than politics in
pursuit of the
ever-growing
Hispanic elec-
torate ahead of
the 2012 elec-
tion. White
House officials
dispute that.
They acknowl-
Barack Obama
edge the diffi-
culties in getting a bill but say it’s
likelier to happen if the president
creates public support for immigra-
tion legislation, leading to pressure
on Republican lawmakers.
“We already know from the first
two years, the last Congress, that
there was political opposition to
comprehensive immigration reform,
including from some places where
there used to be political support,”
said presidential spokesman Jay
Carney. “We are endeavoring to
change that dynamic by rallying
public support, by raising public
awareness about the need for com-
prehensive immigration reform.”
At the same time, the strategy
allows Obama to highlight that
Republicans are standing in the way
of an immigration bill — shifting
responsibility away from himself at
a time when many Latino activists
say he never made good on his cam-
paign promise of prioritizing immi-
gration legislation early on.
Obama’s spotty immigration
record in the eyes of Latino voters
makes it all the more politically
imperative for him to shore up their
support with his re-election cam-
paign approaching.
“What’s different from 2008 is
that there are more Hispanics and
more millennials in the electorate
overall. Latinos are even a bigger
share than they were in 2008,” said
Simon Rosenberg, a former Clinton
White House strategist who follows
immigration policy as head of the
left-of-center NDN think tank.

Aggressive Cremation Group:

Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…
Using visual tricks “Smart Cremation”
has been printing materials which are
specific to certain targeted Seniors such as
using flower envelopes mailed to women
and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,
etc., all meant to be subliminally enticing.
Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.
There are too many particulars about
“Smart Cremation” to list here, but on the
internet you can read the entire report for
yourself along with comments on legal
troubles from concerned consumers at:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/funeral-
services/smart-cremation-jerr/smart-
cremation-jerry-norman-e2e86.htm
I have to emphasize that if you are
looking into cremation or funeral matters
please please do your homework and call
your local Funeral Home, compare their
services and ask questions. Go to a Funeral
Director who is well known in the
community. Please don’t become a “target”
and allow these out of state mailings to lure
you in with misleading messages. They will
send sales people to your home who will
then be hard to get rid of without your
signature on a contract.
To conclude, here are all my best wishes
to you, your family and loved ones.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

The passing of a mayor
I
t is with great sadness that we
learned of the sudden death of
San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad
yesterday morning.
Ahmad, a Silicon Valley entrepre-
neur who joined the San Carlos City
Council in 2007, was a dedicated pub-
lic servant known for his out-of-the-
box thinking and sometimes out of the
blue colloquialisms.
For the past year, Ahmad and the
rest of the City Council was immersed
in determining ways to bridge the
city’s ongoing budget deficit. The past
year was dedicated to finding a way to
contract out the city’s police services
to the Sheriff’s Office and most
recently, the city has had extensive
discussions and meetings to determine
the best way to provide cost-effective
fire services to its residents.
It is no small task, but Ahmad took
it on with relish since it meant the end
Letters to the editor
A few ideas for Caltrain
Editor,
I propose, BART go from San
Francisco via the present Caltrain
roadbeds, making it unnecessary to go
through the present Daly City BART
stations. There could also be a direct
crossing parallel to the Dumbarton
Bridge from the East Bay to Silicon
Valley and San Jose. More BART
trains would redistribute passenger
loads because of more frequent trains
running all day, evenings and week-
ends
The present Caltrain roadbeds will
also have to be closed for the time it
takes to change and modify eleva-
tions, roadbed widths in order to add
on additional high-speed rail tracks,
overhead electric wires, etc.
There is also a possibility for use of
hybrid trains and train cars that are
already running in parts of the world
(Japan and elsewhere). Even GM is
working on hybrid locomotives, so is
Germany and China, I believe.
Just browse the web. It’s surprising
that Caltrain and the California High-
Speed Rail Authority have not looked
seriously at this advanced option of
hybrid trains. These units could save
the high costs of electrification and
may be even cheaper to run than elec-
trified trains.
Then there is the possibility of run-
ning high-speed rail alongside or over
the center of an updated Highway
101. Adding a second deck above the

of the city’s structural deficit it had
faced for 10 years and could kick-start
further discussions on fire department
consolidation and shared services
throughout the county. He wasn’t
afraid of taking on the established
way of thinking if it meant ultimately
saving money for the city and provid-
ing essential services to its residents.
As vice chair of the Caltrain Board
of directors, he recently helped over-
see a plan to temporarily bridge a $30
million budget deficit to keep stations
open and trains running.
He wasn’t afraid to draw attention
to himself — even using a roll of toi-
let paper at a Caltrain meeting to
emphasize how much goes into the
history of even a small and innocuous
present one might allow for the high-
speed rail tracks while increasing traf-
fic lanes, each level flowing in differ-
ent directions, north and south.
(Please review the plans for the
Florida high-speed rail proposal). This
upgraded 101 could be a toll high-
way.This might be done without com-
pletely closing the highway, instead
allowing for placement of pre-fab
units.
There is always the possibility of a
joint venture with foreign funding and
participation. We now live in global

Editor,
Barack Obama won the Nobel
Peace Prize in a stunning decision
that honored the first-year U.S. presi-
dent more for promise than achieve-
ment and drew both praise and skepti-
cism around the world. But critics
called the Nobel committee’s decision
premature, given that Obama has
achieved few tangible gains as he still
grapples with challenges ranging from
the war in Afghanistan and the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict to nuclear stand-
offs with Iran and North Korea and
now the war on Libya.

object. At a recent night-time State of
the City address, Ahmad had cocktails
served and illustrated the difficulty of
city budgets using a photo of a naked
Santa Claus. He brought a certain ele-
ment of whimsy to otherwise stodgy
events and challenged those around
him to think in new and creative ways.
Ahmad worked hard until the very
end, even participating at a City
Council meeting late Monday night.
At 46, he was too young to die and his
passing is a reminder to others that
health should take priority in even the
most challenging of times. It will be
hard to match his energy and sense of
innovation.
While his death was shocking, his
legacy will live on in those whose
lives he touched in both his personal
life, his business life and his life in
public service.
The raid has further strained ties
between the United States and
Pakistan. Both Democratic and
Republican lawmakers are calling for
a review of billions in aid to Pakistan
in light of the revelation bin Laden
was living inside a heavily fortified
compound in a wealthy Pakistani sub-
urb. Former Pakistani president
Pervez Musharraf criticized the
United States for attacking the com-
pound without Pakistan’s knowledge,
calling it a violation of Pakistani sov-
ereignty.
“It’s very important to use this
defining moment, I think, to rally the
American people and to remind the
American people that we are spending
trillions of dollars, billions every
week, on this open-ended longest war
in American history and that we have
economic priorities, economic recov-
ery, job creation priorities here in our
own country that this money can be
used for,” Representative Barbara Lee
said.
We’ve got to remove our young men
and women out of harm’s way, and
we’ve got to really make sure that our
presence in countries throughout the
world do not create more danger and
more anger toward the United States,
which, you know, diminishes our
national security.

The Grand Army
of The Republic
By John Edmonds
I
n April 1866, the Civil War was over and as time
went on it became necessary for communities across
America to care for those returning home from bat-
tle and it was becoming increasingly challenging. Little
preparation had been made for those who were missing
limbs or other serious injuries. Little was understood
about emotional illness and even those who were not
physically injured were seriously ill emotionally.
The most profound illness was emptiness. These men
had lived together, fought together, saved each other’s
lives and had survived. In some cases, they felt guilty for
surviving when so many of their friends had died. The
men, however, developed a unique bond that only those
who had similar experiences could really understand.
This problem, in itself, led to a need for further cama-
raderie.
The Grand Army of the Republic was started for that
reason, in Decatur, Ill. on April 6, 1866 by Benjamin F.
Stephenson. Membership was limited to honorably dis-
charged veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and the Revenue Cutter Service who had served between
April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865. Each community was
called a Post and they were numbered consecutively.
They were also given a name of somebody highly
respected in the community or vicinity.
The Grand Army of the Republic was an immediate
success and, by August 1871, more than one half of the
survivors of the Civil War were members. Stephenson,
who had been a surgeon of the 14th Illinois Infantry, had
fought through to the end of the war. He died at age 43 in
August 1871 and really never saw the tremendous suc-
cess of the organization he started. Five presidents were
elected who were members of the GAR in the ensuing
years.
The local post in Redwood City began in 1886 and the
first officers were Benjamin A. Rankin, commander; and
Joseph H. Hallet, senior vice-commander; John Poole,
junior vice-commander; Elbert O. Rhodes, adjutant; P.P.
Chamberlain, quartermaster; C.B. Sears, Surgeon; W.H.
Pascoe, Chaplain; E.W. Thompson, officer of the day;
and L.L. Stevens, officer of The Guard and sergeant
major.
The local chapter of the Women’s Relief Corps was
started by Mrs. Geraldine Frisbie who had married Will
Frisbie, a Civil War veteran.
The first encampment of the General George S. Evans
Post, No. 72, was in 1886 on Memorial Day. The post
had already established a GAR plot in Union Cemetery
and several burials had already occurred by that
Memorial Day that year. The name of the holiday was
originally “Decoration Day” and it was under that title
that the first celebration took place in 1886. The San
Mateo County Times and Gazette on May 30, 1890
reported on the Memorial Day celebration, “The GAR
statue was entwined with garlands of evergreens and
roses and numerous bouquets deposited on the graves of
the departed.” The statue, which was donated to the GAR
by Mrs. Leland Stanford, has been a statement of patriot-
ic appreciation for oh so many years and it continues to
be a focus of attention throughout the year. Although this
soldier has taken a severe beating and has been broken on
three different occasions by unconscionable people, he
survives, a wounded veteran himself.
Memorial Day services will be held at Union Cemetery
on Woodside Road at El Camino Real 10 a.m. Monday
May 30, 2011. Parking is available at the funeral home as
well as along Woodside Road. Seating is somewhat limit-
ed so coming a bit early is not a bad idea and bringing
portable chairs often pays off. The humble Order of E.
Clampus Vitas will be performing their parade of grace
and charm, the American Legion will be present this year
and the Masonic Order will also take a roll in the cele-
bration. Memorial Day celebrations at Union Cemetery
are a celebration of the veterans from all the American
wars and the celebration of those who gave everything
for our freedom.
There will be tours of the cemetery 10 a.m. May 14
and some new pictures and names will be part of the tour.
It is a good foundation for the self guided tour that is
available on Memorial Day. We will have cemetery books
available for purchase, $20, and a new brochure on the
history of the cemetery which was written because we
don’t have enough time to talk about that subject normal-
ly on our tours.
John Edmonds is the president of the Union Cemetery in
Redwood City and president of the Archives Board for the
Redwood City Public Library. He lives in San Carlos.

Apple defends iPhone ‘hot spot’-logging
SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is telling Congress that the
iPhone’s logging of nearby Wi-Fi hot spots and cell towers
is meant to improve service, not stalk customers.
Apple emphasized, as it had previously, that any data
that’s transmitted back to Apple about the locations of the
hot spots and cell towers is anonymous, and not tied to a
particular user. Apple is building a database of such infor-
mation to make location-based services, such as mobile
mapping, work faster. Using GPS signals can take several
minutes to locate a phone, while using the location of
known hot spots and cell towers stored directly on the
phone can be quicker.
The company outlined its stance in a letter released
Monday by the House of Representatives. An Apple Inc.
vice president, Guy Tribble, is set to testify Tuesday before
a Senate subcommittee. A Google Inc. executive, Alan
Davidson, is also scheduled to appear.
Congress is demanding details from smartphone compa-
nies about their tracking practices, after researchers
revealed last month that iPhones and Android phones
themselves were secretly keeping track of users’ locations.

Microsoft’s deal lifts stocks
By Stan Choe and Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Corporate deals and
strong earnings have been credited with
driving stocks higher this year — and
Tuesday saw a bit of each.
The biggest news, that Microsoft Inc.
said it would buy Internet telephone serv-
ice Skype for $8.5 billion in cash, is
another sign that cash-rich companies are
starting to spend. Corporations built up a
record amount of cash over the last sev-
eral years, and they have started using it
to purchase rivals, pay dividends and also
expand their businesses. That, in turn,
has led to increased confidence among
money managers and other investors that
stocks are going to continue to rise.
Large companies also want to put their
cash stockpiles to work because they’re
getting minimal returns on them, said
Oliver Pursche, president of Gary
Goldberg Financial Services. Interest
rates for short-term savings pay less than
1 percent. “The crisis is behind us,” he
said. Companies “don’t need this much
cash anymore.”
Microsoft had $50.15 billion in cash
and short-term investments at the end of
March.

GM said Tuesday that it will add or
keep 4,000 jobs in the U.S. by hiring new

earnings that beat analysts’ expectations.
Dean had a stronger start to the year than

would raise prices to help combat falling
milk sales. Dean jumped 11 percent.
Medifast, which operates a weight-loss

Hillsdale softball
team wins second
straight Bay crown
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Hillsdale catcher Kristin Petrini
squeezed pitcher Jordan Richwood’s final pitch
of the game — naturally a strike — it salted
away a 6-0 win over visiting Terra Nova and
clinched a second straight Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division title for the Knights with
only Thursday’s regular-season finale against
Carlmont left to play.
There was no big celebration, however. The
Knights ran off the field and some high-fives
were exchanged, but no outward display of win-
ning one of the toughest leagues in the Central
Coast Section.
“[Coach Randy Metheany] didn’t tell us
(about a chance to clinch the title),” said
Hillsdale second baseman Marissa Cho. “It was
just a normal game for us.
“It comes in steps. This is just the first step.”
Metheany purposely didn’t tell his team a win
Tuesday would clinch the Bay Division champi-
onship. He wanted them focused on the task at
hand — beating a solid Terra Nova squad.
“I didn’t say anything to them,” Metheany
said. “Every game is important in our league.
I’m very proud, but I wanted them to stay
focused on today.”
It’s hard not be confident when Hillsdale (12-
1 PAL Bay Division, 22-4 overall) has one of the
best pitchers in CCS in Jordan Richwood, who,
once again, was phenomenal. The Memphis
University-bound senior was definitely on top of
her game Tuesday, allowing just one hit and one
walk while striking out 16.
“We’re never going to lose because of Jordan
Richwood,” Metheany said. “She brings her ‘A’
game every game.”
Regardless of how well Richwood pitches,
however, the best she can do is hold the oppo-
nent scoreless. It’s up to the Knights’ offense to
give Richwood the runs needed to win games.

Feds seek help
in Armstrong
doping case
By Greg Risling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Undeterred by the slap
on the wrist a jury gave Barry Bonds, U.S.
investigators are forging ahead in a separate
drug-related case against another superstar
athlete — Lance Armstrong.
In France, where Armstrong became famous
by winning the Tour de France seven straight
times, officials received a request from U.S.
authorities last month for help gathering evi-
dence about the cyclist and
other members of his for-
mer U.S. Postal team.
The move indicates fed-
eral authorities are looking
to bolster their case
against Armstrong so they
can give a grand jury in
Los Angeles the fullest
Lance account possible of the
cyclist’s actions before

deciding whether
Armstrong, like Bonds, also should face crim-
inal charges related to using performance-
enhancing drugs.
People familiar with the investigation said
the French request has been in the works since
late last year, shortly after U.S. investigator
Jeff Novitzky, prosecutor Doug Miller and
other American authorities traveled to Interpol
headquarters in south-central France to meet
with European investigators, prosecutors and
anti-doping officials from France, Belgium
and Italy.
The American evidence request specifically
targets U.S. Postal and mentions Armstrong
by name, said officials who have seen it. To
date, federal prosecutors have called several
people connected to Armstrong to testify
before the grand jury, including exercise phys-
iologist Allen Lim and Ukrainian cyclist and
former Armstrong teammate Yaroslav
Popovych.

Year of the pitcher:The sequel
By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Yovani Gallardo kept putting up zeros, setting
off no-hitter alerts all over. So when he glanced
at the Busch Stadium scoreboard, the Milwaukee
pitcher clearly saw what was happening.
In Toronto, that is. Because that’s where Justin
Verlander was doing even better, working on a
perfect game.
“Obviously, you see during the game different
scores around MLB and, for some reason, the
pitchers always notice that,” Gallardo said.
Minutes after Gallardo gave up his first hit
against St. Louis, Verlander walked a Toronto
batter. That’s all the Detroit ace yielded, though,
while throwing the majors’ second no-hitter of
the week.
By the time Verlander and his 100 mph heat
finished what Francisco Liriano and his spinners
started four days earlier, the stamp on this season
was unmistakable.
This is the Year of the Pitcher II. King Felix
and his fellow kings of the hill are ruling, with a
vengeance.
“The days of slow-pitch softball are over,”
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
Homers, runs and hits, all down more than 7
percent from last May, reports STATS LLC. And
remember: The overall 2010 totals were their
lowest since the early 1990s.
“Last year they said it was the year of the
pitcher because of all the no-hitters, and this year
they’re doing the same thing,” Florida first base-
man Gaby Sanchez noted.
All-Stars Felix Hernandez, Tim Lincecum,
Josh Johnson and Trevor Cahill are in control,
joined by emerging talents Jaime Garcia, Max
Scherzer and Justin Masterson. Together, they’ve
put Albert Pujols, Magglio Ordonez, Adam
Dunn and top sluggers in prolonged slumps.
Hitters, any suggestions?
“Maybe they should move the mound back,”
Florida catcher John Buck quipped.
“It’s just baseball evolving, maybe going back
to more traditional baseball. It always seems to
balance itself out, whatever era it goes through
— steroids or whatever. Baseball seems to bal-
ance itself out. So I think it’s the natural course
of things,” he said.
A season after Roy Halladay pitched two of
the year’s six no-hitters, it seems as if every other
day brings a close call.
Already there have been 13 instances of a no-
hit bid going into the seventh inning, STATS
LLC said. In 2006, when the season started at
almost the same time, it had occurred only three
times by now.
Tim Hudson and Dan Haren also chipped in
with one-hitters, and Cliff Lee struck out 16 —
but lost because Atlanta’s Derek Lowe took a no-
hitter into the seventh.
“It’s not like all the teams conspire and decide
SPORTS
“It’s not like all the teams
conspire and decide they’re not
going to hit.Everything has its
trends.I think that we live in this
information age where it’s so
easy to compare everything and
put some sort of ratio (on it).”

they’re not going to hit,” Colorado closer Huston
Street said. “Everything has its trends. I think that
we live in this information age where it’s so easy
to compare everything and put some sort of ratio
or say, ‘This is the week of the no-hitter.’ Before
all this, people just sloughed it off.”
Theories abound on the reasons for the grow-
ing shift, on and off the field. They include:
• The rise of the cut fastball, boring in on hit-
ters and breaking their bats.
• A premium on picking lots of nearly-ready-
for-the-show hard throwers in the draft.
• An emphasis on putting more athletic defen-
sive players on the field.
• Advances in video scouting, plus better train-
ing and treatment techniques.
Some point directly at the drug programs
designed to root out steroids and amphetamines.
Others aren’t so sure that’s the main reason.
“They test pitchers, too,” Oakland manager
Bob Geren said, “so you can’t necessarily make
that argument.”
A week after the White Sox were zipped by
Liriano, Chicago first baseman Paul Konerko
offered a simpler explanation for the rash of no-
hitters and near no-nos.
“I think a lot of it is coincidence,” he said.
Makes sense to Kevin Correia. He struggled
last season with San Diego, but is off to a terrific
start for Pittsburgh — he took a no-hit bid into
the sixth inning against Milwaukee before losing.
“You know, last year was the year of the pitch-
er but I had a bad year, or not as good of a year,”
he said.
“With the weather being pretty bad at the
beginning of the year, I think it’s easier to pitch
in bad weather than it is to hit. I’m sure it will
turn around at some point,” he said.
That’s his forecast, anyway. Rain and snow
have made an impact — there have been 19
postponements, only two short of last year’s
total.
In the meantime, Andre Ethier isn’t worrying.
He’s doing fine, coming off his 30-game hitting
streak for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“I don’t get into that whole analysis of, I guess,
the overall look of baseball,” he said. “I’m not
one who is going to sit there and number crunch
and look at the statistics and say whether they’re
up or down.”

ARLINGTON, Texas — Colby Lewis pitched
neatly into the eighth inning and the Texas
Rangers got a two-run homer from slumping
Adrian Beltre in a rain-delayed 7-2 victory over
the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
Lewis (3-4) allowed one run and five hits over
7 1-3 innings. He walked one and failed to regis-
ter a strikeout for the Rangers, who had lost seven
of nine and 11 of 15.
The right-hander got 16 outs on balls hit in the
air and threw a season-high 115 pitches.
Beltre, who was given a night off Monday and
had gone 4 for 31 over his previous nine games,
connected in the fifth to chase starter Brett
Anderson (2-3).

been held scoreless this season.
Brian Wilson (3-1) pitched a scoreless ninth

Rangers 7, A’s 2

Washington wrote out his 29th different lineup
in 37 games this season.
Oakland’s Cliff Pennington homered in the
sixth before a 59-minute rain delay, and Conor
Jackson added a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
The Rangers loaded the bases in the fourth
against Anderson on two singles and a walk, and
Mike Napoli walked to force in the game’s first
run. Craig Gentry’s two-out single, his first RBI
this season and the fifth of his career, made it 2-0.
In the fifth, Young doubled and Beltre ripped a
1-1 pitch into the left-field seats for his eighth
homer and a 4-0 lead.
Anderson allowed four runs and six hits in 4 2-
3 innings with five strikeouts and four walks.
David Murphy greeted reliever David Purcey
with a single and scored on Napoli’s double for a
5-0 lead.
Pennington’s one-out solo homer in the sixth
was his third of the season.

inning delay, working out of a first-and-third jam
when he retired Daric Barton on a lineout and
Ryan Sweeney on a popup.

baseman Melvin Mora for another thrilling late-
inning victory that is becoming all too common
again for the defending World Series champions.
The Giants have five walk-off wins already this
year.
For most of the game, though, this was a
pitcher’s duel.
The first hard hit ball of the night didn’t even
count when Chris Young missed a home run by
mere inches in the fifth, when he scorched a
fastball from Lincecum that barely cleared the
left-field wall and somehow missed striking the
foul pole. Instead, Young later popped out to
center field.
Leave it to the most unlikely candidate to
finally snap Lincecum’s streak.
Kennedy sent a groundball up the middle for a
clean single with one out in the sixth for his first
hit of the season, snapping an 0-for-13 skid at the
plate. Melvin Johnson added a line-drive single
to left with two outs before Justin Upton flied out
to right.
At a time when no-hitters are becoming com-
monplace, the feat has eluded San Francisco’s
ace.

Lockout losers: Rookies and new coaches

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Blaine Gabbert
shrugs when asked about the good
fortune of actually having a Jaguars
playbook in his possession.
The first-round draft choice from
Missouri took advantage of a one-
day, court-ordered window in the
NFL’s lockout of the players to visit
with Jacksonville’s coaching staff.
He also was given the equivalent of
a pro football bible, and immediate-
ly began studying the playbook,
even if he couldn’t put it to use on a
field.
“It’s great to have it and I’ve
already gotten into it a lot,” Gabbert
said soon after going 10th overall in
the draft. “But I don’t have any
teammates right now to run through
the plays with.”
With minicamps and offseason
workouts normally occurring in
early and mid-May, Gabbert and his
fellow rookies are among the most
obvious losers as the lockout heads
toward a third month.
“If this goes into June,” 2002
NFL MVP Rich Gannon said, “I’ve
had coordinators tell me you could
pretty much write off the first year
for these rookies.
“The coaches want to install as
much as they can in minicamps, see
what the new players can retain,
then have them come back for other
minicamps and offseason workouts,
so by the time they get to training
camps, they have seen what they
need to do a few times.
“If the first time they do any of
that is in training camp, that’s not
going to get it done.”
In federal court papers filed
Monday, the league argued the situ-
ation would be even more damaging
and chaotic if the lockout was lifted
without a new collective bargaining
agreement. NFL attorneys predicted
the better-off teams would sign a
disproportionate number of the best
players, wrecking the league’s com-
petitive balance.
All this time off isn’t doing much
good, either.
Among the teams at the biggest
disadvantage are those with new
coaching staffs: the 49ers, Panthers
and Broncos, although at least
Denver’s new head coach, John Fox,
brings plenty of experience — and
victories — from Carolina.
Jim Harbaugh has been coaching,
quite successfully, at Stanford and
now is in San Francisco, where he’s
barely gotten to know some of his
players. Ron Rivera, a longtime
defensive coordinator elsewhere,
now is in Charlotte, taking over the
NFL’s worst team.
Both could use lengthy, in-depth
discussions with their players, and
long looks on the practice field at
them.
Not happening.
“This is just a critical time, and
the longer this goes on, the more it
benefits teams like Green Bay and
New England,” said Gannon, who
hosts a show on Sirius NFL Radio
and also is an analyst for CBS.
“Those teams with of continuity
with the coaching staff and quarter-
back position and coordinators.
“But teams have to be sweating
bullets. This is valuable time. Some
of these young teams are going
through so much change and they
could be utilizing it and they are not
allowed.”
At least the Vikings (Leslie
Frazier) and Cowboys (Jason
Garrett) played a few games when
their current coaches were serving
in an interim capacity last season.
Oakland’s Hue Jackson was the
team’s offensive coordinator in
2010, and Mike Munchak has been
with the Titans for 14 seasons.
While Pat Shurmur is new in
Cleveland, Browns president Mike
Holmgren took over last year and
knows his way around the West
Coast offense Shurmur will install
— whenever he gets the chance.
Some players have been doing
their part to remain familiar with
their team’s systems, holding infor-
mal workouts away from club facil-
ities. But without minicamps and
OTAs, they can’t emulate the pace
of even an NFL practice.
They can only do so much.
“It’s a good head start for guys,”
said Browns tight end Evan Moore,
who joined several teammates in
Austin, Texas, to work with quarter-
back Colt McCoy. “Who knows if
we will have any kind of offseason
at all? If we have to head to training
camp, you need to have a good feel
for the little things you need to
know. And the coaches will appreci-
ate it, too, that guys are prepared.”
How prepared, though? Not near-
ly enough for a Gabbert to have a
quick impact in Jacksonville. Or for
top overall selection Cam Newton
to move smoothly into Carolina’s
lineup. Or for Jake Locker in
Tennessee, Christian Ponder in
Minnesota, Andy Dalton in
Cincinnati or Colin Kaepernick in
San Francisco — all taken in the
first 36 picks — to be much of a fac-
tor in 2011, Gannon says.
“You’ve got to say to yourself,
these guys have got no chance this
season,” Gannon said. “I feel bad
for Cam Newton, who has a lot to
learn as it is, and he does not have
the benefit of quarterbacks school or
minicamps or OTAs or getting in
with his offensive coordinator, Rob
Chudzinski, and asking questions.
“It’s a really bad environment for
those guys. They’re really losing in
this thing.”

Pacers to keep Bird as team president

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Larry Bird will get to
see his rebuilding project through, after all.
The Indiana Pacers announced Tuesday that
they will keep Bird as team president after he
met with owner Herb Simon in Los Angeles.
The Pacers made their first playoff appear-
ance since 2006 this season in the final year of
Bird’s contract, and the future looks bright.
Danny Granger, the veteran starter, is 28, and
none of the remaining starters — Darren
Collison, Tyler Hansbrough, Paul George or
Roy Hibbert — is older
than 25.
The team also
announced that David
Morway will stay as gen-
eral manager.
Things didn’t look so
good for Bird at the begin-
ning of the year. The
Larry Bird Pacers were 17-27 when
the team fired coach Jim
O’Brien. But interim coach Frank Vogel went
20-18 and guided the team to the playoffs,
where Indiana challenged the Chicago Bulls
before losing the first-round playoff series 4-
1.
The Pacers now will decide if the 37-year-
old Vogel fits into their plans.
Simon gave Bird credit for putting the
Pacers in position to move forward.
The franchise will have the financial flexi-
bility to add pieces. Bird said at the end of the
season that Simon’s willingness to dip into
that available money would play a role in
whether the two could come to an agreement.
Bird was hired as team president in 2003
and shared the basketball decisions with then-
CEO Donnie Walsh. The infamous brawl
between Pacers players and Pistons fans took
place in 2004, prompting the team to make
talent-depleting trades.
Cleaning up the roster and financial restric-
tions slowed Bird’s progress. He took full
control of basketball decisions after the 2007-
08 season, when Walsh left to become the
New York Knicks’ president. The Pacers went
36-46 in 2008-09 and 32-50 in 2009-10.
This season, the team finished the regular-
season with a 37-45 record.

SHARKS
Continued from page 11
the Red Wings outshot San Jose 45-25, but
they were on the verge of elimination after
Couture batted a rebound out of midair and
the puck trickled past goalie Jimmy Howard
with 16:06 remaining. The puck barely
crossed the goal line before Howard covered it
with his glove, but the goal stood after a
review.
Zetterberg tied it by deflecting a wrist shot
by Niklas Kronwall past goalie Antti Niemi,
and the Sharks never regained momentum.
Filppula put Detroit ahead, converting a nice
cross-ice pass by Pavel Datsyuk.
The Red Wings outplayed the Sharks from
the start. At the midway point of the first peri-
od, Detroit had an 11-1 edge in shots, to the
delight of the home crowd that had given the
Red Wings a standing ovation when they took
the ice.
Jiri Hudler had a good scoring chance from
a severe angle with Niemi slightly out of posi-
tion, but the Detroit forward was unable to
score.
The Sharks managed a couple of early
chances on counterattacks. Immediately after
coming out of the penalty box, Dan Boyle
found himself with space in the Detroit zone,
but he fanned on a backhand attempt while
bearing down on Howard.
Howard stopped Benn Ferriero on a break-
away later in the period — the San Jose right
wing didn’t have much time to control the
puck before trying to slip it in.
The action was just as intense at the start of
the second. Detroit’s Drew Miller shot wide
on a rebound with Niemi sprawled in front of
the net. With 15:25 left in the period, the nor-
mally mild-mannered Datsyuk was involved
in a brief scrap with San Jose’s Torrey
Mitchell.
Datsyuk was given two minor penalties to
Mitchell’s one, but it was the Red Wings who
ended up with the best scoring chance to that
point. Danny Cleary, who was serving one of
the penalties, had a clean breakaway when he
came out of the penalty box just as Detroit
was clearing its zone. Cleary made a nice
move around Niemi but hit the side of the net
with the goalie down and out.
The Red Wings outshot San Jose 32-13 in
the first two periods.
NOTES: San Jose F Ryane Clowe missed
Game 6 because of an undisclosed upper body
injury. Clowe leads San Jose with 13 points
this postseason. ... The Red Wings were with-
out RW Johan Franzen, who reinjured his left
ankle in Game 5. Veteran forward Mike
Modano rejoined the lineup after playing in
only one other game this postseason. ...
According to STATS LLC, four NHL teams
have rallied from a 3-0 deficit but lost a sev-
enth game.

NCAA
Continued from page 13
Nov. 1, seeking input about how the process
can be improved. Some proposals have
already been sent to NCAA committees. The
full plan, Lach said, should be unveiled in
January.
The NCAA’s future structure could have a
vastly different look.
At one point, Emmert even suggested
expanding the violations — from major and
secondary — to as many as five different cat-
egories.
“This is my own opinion, but I do worry we
have too much of a bivariate model,” he said.
“I personally would like to see whether we
can have two, three or five different sort of
categories and maybe that would make the
cases go a little more expeditiously.”
Lach and her staff also are taking an in-
depth look at policing third-party influences.
They would like to create rules that will
prevent a repeat of last year’s high-profile
investigation into Heisman Trophy winner
Cam Newton and his father. The plan would
also help eliminate some of the problems with
agents and additional people involved in the
recruitment of prep players.
“Knowing whether someone else is taking
something has never been a violation,” Lach
said. “But in our world, investigations
encountering third parties is a daily situation.”
One thing Emmert won’t tolerate is tinker-
ing with the NCAA’s amateurism policy,
something he considers a core value of the
NCAA.
Emmert believes that instead of solving
problems, pay-for-play would only create
more issues.
“What are you going to pay them? Are you
going to pay the quarterback the same as the
guy who sits on the bench? Are you going to
pay a gymnast the same as a men’s basketball
player?” Emmert said. “There is a model for
that, it’s called professional sports, and I love
them. But that’s not what college sports is
about.”

Herniated Disc? Severe
Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?
Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain
and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your
Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you
get the quality of life back that you deserve.
M y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner
of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and
San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with
chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and
sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple
disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and
understand firsthand the severe pain and disability that
comes with these types of injuries to the point where I
was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want
to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I
wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would
help me manage my condition.
That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as
a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my
life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to
mild and I was able to return back to my activities of
golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my
family. It has been my mission ever since to share this
great new technology with as many people as possible.
While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather
new treatment, there’s plenty of research to back up its
claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies
or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com.
However it’s the results we see every day in our office
that get us so excited about this new non-invasive
treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying.
My severe lower back and sciatica pain have
been reduced significantly since receiving spinal
decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf
and do things without pain that I haven’t been able to
do for years.
Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno
—C.M. Allard
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower
back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and
pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain.
Physical therapy didn’t help. When an MRI showed that
I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections. The first one helped a tiny
bit, but the others didn’t do a thing for my pain. The
only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free!

Tiger is feeling better as Players looms
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
— Tiger Woods heard a series of
shutters from a spectator’s camera
and stopped his swing at the last
minute, knees flexed, club shaft par-
allel to the ground, holding his pose
until he could regain his balance.
“Oh, no,” said the caddie for Mark
O’Meara. “You’re starting to swing
like Charles Barkley.”
Woods doubled over in laughter
Tuesday on the eighth tee on the
TPC Sawgrass, a light moment dur-
ing his first time playing golf since
disclosing minor knee and Achilles’
injuries from the Masters.
Woods said the left knee — which
has gone through four surgeries —
and his left Achilles’ are better.
“Good enough to play,” he said.
How much better remains to be
seen, and Woods still has to make it
to the first tee Thursday morning for
the start of The Players
Championship, where he hasn’t fin-
ished better than eighth since win-
ning 10 years ago.

Sports Brief
Cyclists ride together on day
of mourning at Giro d’Italia
LIVORNO, Italy — The team-
mates of Wouter Weylandt crossed
the finish line side by side and with
arms linked at the Giro d’Italia on
pine straw on the 17th hole of the
Masters in the third round, and he
played through the discomfort in the
final round when he closed with a
67 after making a brief charge.
“It didn’t feel good on Sunday.
That was tough,” Woods said. “I
played through it, but ... I was in the
midst of playing and competing and
had to power through it, so I did it. I
was able to shut it down for a little
bit and was able to care of it.”
Woods said he practiced Monday
for the first time since the Masters.
He played golf Tuesday — the front
nine at Sawgrass — for the first time
since that last day at Augusta. He is
treating the injuries with anti-
inflammatories, ice, elevating his
legs and some soft tissue work. Still
to be determined, since he hasn’t
spent any time playing, is whether it
swells.
“We’ll see how this week pro-
gresses,” he said. “If it flares up like
it did at Augusta, then it flares ups.
But hopefully, it won’t.”
Woods’ swing coach, Sean Foley,
said he had been walking in a pro-
tective boot as a precaution. Woods
chose not to play the Wells Fargo
Championship last week, giving
himself a week to see if the knee

riding, Weylandt’s Leopard-Trek

pro cycling’s three major tours.

and Achilles’ improved. He said he
would have played last week had it
been a major, smiling as if to remind
that he won a U.S. Open on a shat-
tered left leg three years ago.
That was his 14th major, and the
last time he won the tournaments
that mean the most. And he made it
clear, even at a tournament debated
as the “fifth major,” that it remains
his priority.
“The whole idea is that I peak
four times a year, and I’m trying to
get ready for Congressional, and I
need some playing time,” Woods
said. “I missed playing last week at
a golf course I truly love playing,
but I really want to get out there and

“The funeral rites will be as simple
as those for any neighbor from the vil-
lage,” Ballesteros’ brother,
Baldomero, said. “He was born here

this is the right thing to do.”
The teams observed a minute’s
silence at the start of the fourth stage
and wore black ribbons on a day in
which no points were awarded.

team taking the lead at intervals of
about six miles. With about two
miles to go, overall leader David
his favorites, and the record reflects
that.
He was runner-up to Hal Sutton in
2000, then won The Players
Championship the following year,
when he went on to win the Masters
to hold all four major titles. Since
then, he has only one top 10 —
eighth place, after starting the last
round in the final group, five shots
out of the lead.
Beyond not winning majors,
Woods hasn’t won anything in 18
months, dating to the Australian
Masters in November 2009. He is
rebuilding his swing, and taking his
share of criticism along the way,
similar to previous swing changes.
Now, even the players are piling
on.
Bubba Watson, who used to show
up early at majors with hopes of
playing practice rounds with
Woods, said last week that Woods
was “going the wrong way.”
“He’s so mental right now with
his swing,” Watson said, a two-time
winner this year.
Watson said he hasn’t spoken to
Woods, only his agent and another
person in Woods’ camp to explain
that he “didn’t say anything wrong”
and that the media blew it out of
and here he will remain.”
Three big screens have been set up
outside the ceremony, while Spanish
state TV will broadcast the event live
from the village of 1,500.
Ballesteros was perhaps Spain’s
first major sports star, helping to
transform European golf by winning
three British Open and two Masters
titles plus a record 50 European Tour
victories. He was also player-captain
of the successful 1997 Ryder Cup
team.
Millar waved the Leopard-Trek
team to the front to reach the line
first.
“The decision needed to be taken
by the riders because they are the
ones that participate in the race,”
team manager Brian Nygaard said.
“We have always said that we would
stand behind their choice.

“I just told him, ’Look, you know
me. I’m friends with you. I’ve been
a supporter of you the whole time
I’ve been a pro and have known you.
So I’m here for you, but I didn’t do
anything wrong,”’ Watson said.
“The camp says I’m OK, but I
haven’t talked to the boss yet.”
Woods said he found the com-
ments to be “interesting.” Asked if
he had an issue, Woods smiled and
said, “We’ll talk.”
U.S. Open champion Graeme
McDowell rallied from four shots
behind to beat Woods in a playoff at
the Chevron World Challenge, and
was paired with him in early rounds
twice this year, at Doral and the
Masters.
“I see determination,” McDowell
said. “I see a hunger, which are two
key components to any player. ...
He’s displaying a lot of patience, as
well. We all have our frustrating
outbursts from time to time, but I
think he’s been very patient consid-
ering what I’m sure he expects of
himself. I think he’s a very deter-
mined man right now, though.”
As for that tee shot on the eighth?
Once the laughter subsided,
Woods hit a 5-wood to 5 feet.
“He broke the mold,” former Ryder
Cup player Tommy Horton said. “We
were told to hit the fairway, not to
make mistakes, while Seve taught us
about the genius of recovery.
“He was a genius, an artist — the
first true golf artist.”

and 400. His best chance comes in the 100 for
which he had the fastest qualifying time of 11.08.
Woodside’s Kyle Feuerhelm is also set up for a
banner day in the long-distance races, as he’ll
compete in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 finals. He
owns the top qualifying time in the 1,600, is third
in the 800 and fourth in the 3,200. Feuerhelm was
nipped at the tape in the 3,200 final last year by
Half Moon Bay’s Mitch Martin, who beat him by
eight hundredths of a second. Martin is the sixth-
fastest runner in the 3,200.
Aragon’s Christian Pedro is hoping to crash
Feuerhelm’s party in 1,600 and 3,200. Pedro goes
into the 1,600 three seconds behind Feuerhelm’s

The girls’ distance races should come down to

pion in all three events.

KNIGHTS
Continued from page 11
When the Knights scored in the bottom of the
first inning, there was a feeling that would be
enough.
But the Knights tacked on single runs in the
third and fourth before blowing the game open
with a three-run sixth.
“[Richwood] can’t just pitch us to the win,”
Cho said, who had a big day at the plate. Cho
reached base in all four of her plate appearances,
coming up with a double and a single to go
along with two walks. She also scored three runs
and drove in another.
Terra Nova (6-6, 13-10), unfortunately, just
could not do much against Richwood, who
retired the first nine batters in order before Talisa
Fiame led off the fourth with a flare single to
shallow right field. Richwood proceeded to
retire the next 11 batters before walking
Courtney Lewis in the top of the seventh with
two outs.
“Jordan is a good pitcher. She kept us off-bal-
ance,” said Terra Nova coach Donna Tolero. “I
don’t have the girls who have the experience to
adjust to pitchers like this.”
Hillsdale wasted little time in getting on the
scoreboard. With one out, Cho walked and stole
second. She ended up scoring on Courtney
Tyler’s single to left for a 1-0 Knights’ lead.
A base-running mistake probably cost the
Knights a run in the second, but they got it back
in the third, again with Cho jump-starting the
offense. With one out, Cho doubled to the right-
center field gap and came home on Dani
Fonseca’s bloop single to right.
The Knights went up 3-0 with a run in the
fourth, this time with Cho driving in Emily
Lyons, who was hit by a pitch with two outs.
In the sixth, the Knights scored three times on
just one hit, taking advantage of two Terra Nova
errors, two walks and a hit batter. Tyler drove
home one run with a sacrifice fly, Richwood
helped her cause with an RBI single to right and
the third run scored when the Terra Nova catch-
er tried to pick Keonie Yo off third base, only to
see the throw go into left field.
Despite the win, Metheany was already look-
ing forward to CCS — and not in a good way.
He still remembers the Knights lost 2-1 to Valley
Christian in 11 innings in the semifinals, despite
getting 23 strikeouts from Richwood. The one
thing missing in that game was the clutch hit, so
Metheany was not too pleased to see his team
strand nine base runners.
“You know how demanding I am,” Metheany
said. “If we left two instead of nine, OK.
“But I’m really proud of them to win this
league. I didn’t think we could do that. I mean,
we lost our three and four hitters from last year.”
Cho, however, was more confident.
“As soon as we played the first (league) game,
we knew we could do anything,” Cho said. “We
just felt we could take on the whole league.”

Continued from page 1
Muslim mayors.
“I’m proud that the voters chose someone
with the name Omar to the City Council and
more proud of how he took the challenge. He
was one of the best councilmembers and may-
ors we’ve had,” said Councilman Randy Royce
who joined the council at the same time.
Ahmad was aware of the reaction his name
could draw from those who confused him with
those bearing the same moniker and addressed
it directly on his website. If anyone had ques-
tions about him or his beliefs, he said, just ask.
He was outspoken on several city issues,
including the decade-long battle to install arti-
ficial turf, but most recently took front and cen-
ter in the move to outsource police services to
the Sheriff’s Office and create a new fire
department.
In fact, the fire issue was one of Ahmad’s last
pieces of city business Monday night when the
council adopted a salary and benefits package
for its new hybrid department.
Ahmad’s passion and drive for all matters,
including fire, will be among his legacy, said
Vice Mayor Andy Klein.
“He was beloved at City Hall. This is a
shock,” Klein said.
Ahmad was equally zealous about trans-
portation, sitting as a representative to high-
speed rail, Caltrain and the SamTrans Board of
Directors.
“He was a three-dimensional thinker and
able to see an issue on multiple levels,” said
Mark Simon, SamTrans executive officer for
Public Affairs.
As hard as Ahmad worked, he was also
incredibly good-humored about himself and
reveled being in the public arena, Simon said.
“He didn’t shy away from a fight and at times
sought them out,” Simon said.
Ahmad injected a heavy dose of creativity
into his presentations and Royce said “his
metaphors made my head spin every time we
were together.”
At the State of the City Address in March, he
offered cocktails and grabbed attention by
LOCAL
using Santa Claus to illustrate the city’s finan-
cial changes. At a SamTrans board meeting, he
similarly waved a roll of toilet paper to talk
about how chain of events lead to a specific
moment, Simon remembered.
“One of the things he really worked hard on
was the desire of a lot of people to know right
now how things are going to turn out. But he
wanted to show them things don’t get to where
they are all at once,” Simon said.
Ahmad’s passing is “a kick in the stomach, a
loss that cannot be fully described,” said Sean
Elsbernd, chair of the Peninsula Corridor Joint
Powers Board.
Ahmad served as vice chair and was “every-
thing anyone could want in a human being, a
public servant and a friend,” Elsbernd said.
In April, Ahmad took a detour from ending
the city’s budget deficit and other weighty mat-
ters to find a way to honor residents. Ahmad
suggested a commemorative city coin — even
donating one month’s salary toward the cost
along with Councilman Randy Royce — as a
reminder of gratitude.
In the future, he was weighing a plastic bag
ban and Moura said he was looking forward to
revisiting shelved plans because the city finally
balanced its budget.
“He said wow, now we actually have money
to spend,” Moura said.
Getting San Carlos’ financial house in order
and finding efficiencies were primary goals of
Ahmad, motivating his support of the city’s
innovate outsourcing. He asked San Mateo
County leaders to consider a fire contract with
the city but, once denied, didn’t shy away from
meeting a final time in mediation with Belmont
Councilwoman Christine Wozniak and a retired
judge.
In recent weeks, he faced strong opposition
from local firefighters and fellow councilmen
to affirm dissolution of the Belmont-San Carlos
Fire Department and create a new hybrid with
Redwood City.
Councilman Matt Grocott, who was one of
those who disagreed, said he was also shocked
by his colleague’s death and expressed sorrow
for Ahmad’s family.
Ed Hawkins, president of the county fire-
fighter union Local 2400, echoed the senti-
ment. Ahmad was “charismatic and highly
intelligent” and his death is a terrible loss for
his loved ones and the city, Hawkins said.
Even when he sparred with others, his heart
was in the right place, said Realtor Bob Bredel
who met Ahmad during his council bid and
during contentious face-offs over artificial turf.
“He and I did not agree on all of the issues
but I thought every vote he made was him try-
ing to make the city a better place,” Bredel said.
Ahmad was born in Ohio and raised in a
small Northern Central California town. He
remained committed to his alma mater, the
University of Florida where he majored in
material science engineering, and often spent
weekends wearing Gator T-shirts and talking
football.
Ahmad spent several years in Washington,
D.C. at the Discovery Channel and a gunman’s
invasion of his former office building left him
shaken and suggesting an emergency text mes-
saging system for San Carlos.
In 1998, he moved to California and began a
string of Silicon Valley ventures including time
with @Home, Netscape and Napster. He more
recently co-founded SynCH Energy Corp,
which converts greenhouse gas to high octane
gasoline, and previously founded start ups
TrustedID and Logictier.
“He was a serial entrepreneur,” Moura said.
Ahmad also co-founded Webmonsters,
served on the board of advisors for the National
Youth Science Camp Alumni Association and
the technical advisory board for Palatial.com.
In his spare time, he was an avid photogra-
pher, pilot and mountaineer who had climbed
Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Elbrus.
After winning a council seat in November
2007, Ahmad wanted to ensure he was always
reachable to constituents. Besides becoming a
staple at community events like Hot Harvest
Nights, he established an easy-to-remember
phone number. The last four digits spelled out
“OMAR.”
“He had extreme dedication to the job,”
Klein said.
He was also a big fan of social media, updat-
ing a personal website and sending out Tweets
as recently as Sunday when he wished a happy
day to “all the wonderful moms out there” and
lauded the San Francisco Giants for the ninth
inning sacrifice fly for the win.
“I love taking Caltrain to the Giants game!
Yes, I was asked to show my ticket!” he wrote.
He wasn’t above urging the city had to “cow-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
boy up” or bringing candy to meetings antici-
pated to run long. At a recent hearing on fire
service, Ahmad referenced his own experience
as an EMT.
Although he loved the jobs, Ahmad also rec-
ognized the challenge.
“He once told me being on the City Council
is like being at a party and we are the piñata,”
Moura said.
City officials are meeting with City Attorney
Greg Rubens to discuss the next steps. Klein
now steps up as mayor and the council will
likely name a new vice mayor at its next meet-
ing. Ahmad’s term expired in November so the
city must decide whether to appoint an interim
member or leave the seat vacant until the regu-
lar election.
Services have yet to be scheduled.
In the meantime, the city has lowered its
flags to half staff as has the San Mateo County
Transit District. Those at the district said they
will remember Ahmad as more than a col-
league. Those fortunate enough to know him
“will say with pride that Omar Ahmad was our
friend and this statement will be a credit to us
all,” said Mike Scanlon, SamTrans CEO and
Caltrain executive director.
The Board of Supervisors, which received
word just before its meeting Tuesday morning,
adjourned in his memory, said President Carole
Groom who served with Ahmad on SamTrans.
“He was just as bright as could be and what
a presence,” she said.
The state Senate and Assembly will adjourn
in Ahmad’s honor Thursday. State Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, said he was
saddened by the news.
“In his years in the technology industry and
in public service he distinguished himself as an
intelligent and capable leader. Omar’s commit-
ment to our community will be sorely missed,”
Yee said.
Ahmad’s smile and attitude will also be
missed, say those who knew him.
“The most important thing is that at ever
meeting he reminded the importance of laugh-
ter,” Royce said. “He always ended with laugh-
ter.”

George Washington’s recipe for beer is being re-created.
Brew, by George!
Coney Island Brewing to make Washington’s beer
By Ula Ilnytzky
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — George Washington is
famous for many things. Yet it’s safe to say
few know the nation’s founding father created
a recipe for beer.
The New York Public Library, which owns
the recipe, announced on Wednesday that it
was partnering with Coney Island Brewing
Company in Brooklyn to recreate the brew.
They will make just 25 gallons to celebrate
the library’s centennial this year. It will be
called “Fortitude’s Founding Father Brew,”
and will not be commercially sold.
The handwritten recipe, jotted down on a
small piece of notebook paper, resides with
other Washington documents at the library’s
Fifth Avenue Stephen A. Schwarzman
Building, including his Farewell Address, war
maps of New York and New Jersey and other
personal items.
The public can sample the beer on May 18
at Rattle N Hum, a mid-Manhattan bar.
Tastings also will be offered at the library’s
100th birthday gala on May 23.
“We are thrilled to transform Washington’s
recipe into an even more complex and flavor-
ful robust porter using a delicious array of the
FOOD
best small batch dark malts and hop varieties
to produce a truly spectacular celebration for
the contemporary beer connoisseur,” said
Jeremy Cowan, founder of Shmaltz Brewing
Company, the parent of Coney Island Brewing
Company.
Washington’s recipe for how “To Make
Small Beer,” reads in part: “Take a large Sifer
(sifter) full of Bran Hops to your Taste. Boil
these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall(ons) into
a cooler put in 3 Gall(ons) Molasses while the
Beer is Scalding hot ... let this stand till it is
little more than Blood warm then put in a
quarter of Yea(s)t.”
“We have a treasure trove of materials that
can be accessed by the public and used to
advance the worlds of scholarship, literature,
invention, creation — or even beer-making,”
said Ann Thornton, director of the library’s
collections and exhibitions.
Other centennial events this month include
an overnight treasure hunt of the library’s col-
lection on May 20 and tours of the library’s
stacks on May 21-22.
A centennial exhibition opening on May 14
will feature more than 250 historical items,
including Washington’s Farewell Address,
Virginia Woolf’s walking stick, Malcolm X’s
briefcase and Jack Kerouac’s harmonica.
Ex-pal admits extorting
Campbell Soup heiress
By Maryclaire Dale
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — When the longtime
cook, traveling companion and confidante of a
billionaire Campbell soup heiress was summar-
ily dismissed, she sent her boss an email titled
“When the Soup Boils.”
Agnes “Aggie” O’Brien threatened to write a
tell-all book about Mary Alice Dorrance
Malone unless Malone paid her $250,000 a year
for life and let her stay on at Malone’s rental
property.
O’Brien, 55, pleaded guilty Tuesday to send-
ing Malone extortionist threats, part of a negoti-
ated plea that keeps her out of prison.
“It’s understandable, but it’s criminal,” lawyer
Michael M. Mustokoff said of his client’s
actions. “You can’t threaten (people) for
money.”
O’Brien had worked for a quarter-century for
Malone, who breeds show horses on her 1,000-
acre Iron Spring Farm in an exclusive swath of
Chester County, Pa., near Philadelphia.
The 61-year-old Malone, a divorced mother
of two, is one of the country’s wealthiest
women. Forbes magazine estimates her net
worth at $2.2 billion and ranks her No. 144 on
its list of richest Americans.
She is the granddaughter of Campbell Soup
founder John T. Dorrance and remains a board
member of the Camden, N.J.-based company.
Campbell Soup Co., which was founded in
1869, is the world’s largest soup maker.
O’Brien, a member of the area’s social set
before a mid-1990s divorce, is a horse trainer
and caterer who had been renting a home from
Malone for years.
According to Mustokoff, O’Brien put aside
Wednesday • May 11, 2011 19
her businesses for months at a time to travel
with Malone to Colorado, where the family
skied, and to Florida, where he said O’Brien
sometimes cared for Malone’s mother. She
cooked for the family during the trips and
earned enough from Malone each year to sup-
port herself.
In January 2009, Malone sought to sever
those ties and evict O’Brien from the house. The
reasons remain unclear, although O’Brien’s
emails suggest she felt wrongly accused of
something.
She described the barely-disguised Roman a
clef she planned to write to embarrass Malone
in the Dec. 21, 2009, “When the Soup Boils”
email.
“Maggie (the fictional Aggie O’Brien) got her
feelings hurt when she was wrongly accused
and never allowed to defend herself,” the email
states. “She is not willing to be ... victimized by
Alice (the fictional Mary Alice Malone) after 30
years of loyal service.”
The email concludes: “Maggie has tried
repeatedly to be understanding and fair and now
she’s just a character in a book.“
Malone initially sought to settle O’Brien’s
complaints through lawyers to avoid publicity.
But after calling in a second set of lawyers, she
agreed to notify authorities. The FBI set up a
sting, and O’Brien was arrested in July.
She remains free on bail, and, as part of her
plea, is expected to be sentenced Aug. 30 to six
years’ probation. She must also stay away from
Malone and her family.
O’Brien, who appeared in court with her
gray-tinged hair hanging loose to her shoulders,
had no supporters in court for her plea. She
declined to comment as she left the courtroom.
Malone also plans to remain mum.

Food Oscars give nod to Andres,Meyer
Whoever he or she is,
Ruth Bourdain wins
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ruth Bourdain: acerbic, androgynous, foul-mouthed, totally
fictitious and now...? James Beard Foundation winner.
On Friday, the so-called Oscars of the food world honored
Ruth Bourdain — the made-up online mash-up of culinary
icons Ruth Reichl and Anthony Bourdain — with its first ever
award for humor writing.
In some ways the award was a nod not just to the still anony-
mous man or woman behind the profanely funny spoof of
wise-cracking Bourdain and former Gourmet magazine editor-
in-chief Reichl. It also recognized the rising power of social
media in food. Ruth Bourdain became a sensation during the
past year almost exclusively by posting biting 140-character
messages (most of them unfit to reprint) on Twitter.
“Leaden sky. Cold rain. Curled by the fire with a bowl of
beans and a stack of corn tortillas. One fart and I could burn
the whole house down,” reads one early April tweet from Ruth
Bourdain. He (or she?) did not come forward to accept the
award during Friday’s ceremony in New York City.
The ceremony honored the top culinary media talent for
2011, including cookbooks and broadcast and print journal-
ism. Awards for chefs and restaurants were to be announced
Monday. Cookbook of the year went to Diana Kennedy’s ode
to the cooking of Mexico’s Oaxaca region, “Oaxaca al Gusto.”
To write the book, Kennedy — known as the Julia Child of
Mexican food — collected hundreds of recipes from home
cooks from throughout the richly diverse region.
Food scientist Harold McGee’s exhaustively informative
“On Food and Cooking” was named to the organization’s
Cookbook Hall of Fame. The American cooking category was
won by James Villas’ “Pig: King of the Southern Table,” while
the general cooking award went to Amanda Hesser’s “The
Essential New York Times Cookbook.”
FOOD
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Small plates have earned Jose Andres
one of the food world’s biggest honors.
The man credited with popularizing
tapas — the Spanish custom of dining on
small, shared plates — was named the
nation’s most outstanding chef Monday
during the James Beard Foundation’s
annual awards ceremony, the so-called
Oscars of the culinary crowd.
Andres has been praised for a string of
successful restaurants around the country
— most notably Jaleo and minibar by
Jose Andres in Washington, D.C. —
which challenged the conventional think-
ing that anything but heaping portions
would leave American diners unsatisfied.
Recently, Andres — who grew up out-
side Barcelona and moved to the U.S. 21
years ago after training with famed
Spanish chef Ferran Adria — has
become known almost as much for his
politics as for what he puts on the plate.
He has spoken often — and even lobbied
friends in Congress — on issues includ-
ing school lunch standards, childhood
obesity, hunger, subsidies for agribusi-
ness and food marketing.
“Food is the most powerful thing we
have in our hands. Not only chefs, but
everyone in the food community. The
right use of food can end hunger,” Andres
said Monday after accepting his award.
“We have the responsibility to make sure
that not only our great nation, but the
world will always be better using food in
the right way.”
The James Beard awards honor those
who follow in the footsteps of Beard,
considered the dean of American cook-
ing when he died in 1985. The awards
ceremony was held in New York, where
the Beard Foundation is based. Monday’s
ceremony honored chefs and restaurants;
a similar event on Friday was held for
book and other media
awards.
Last year’s top
chef was “Top Chef”
judge Tom Colicchio.
This year, Andres
beat out Gary Danko
of Restaurant Gary
Danko in San
Jose Andres Francisco; Suzanne
Goin of Lucques in
Los Angeles;Paul Kahan of Blackbird in
Chicago; and Charles Phan of The
Slanted Door in San Francisco.
The foundation’s award for outstand-
ing restaurant went to Danny Meyer’s
Eleven Madison Park in New York. It is
known for its tasting-style menu that lists
dishes only by key ingredient and
encourages diners to work with the chef
to create individualized meals. The
restaurant’s pastry chef, Angela
Pinkerton, got the foundation’s honor for
most outstanding pastry chef.
“I am so proud of what this team has
done ... to have really created a four-star
restaurant for the future,” Meyer said
Monday. “A new kind of four-star restau-
rant.”
Last year, the organization named the
restaurant’s executive chef, Daniel
Humm, the city’s top chef. The restau-
rant has earned a total of five Beard
awards.
Best new restaurant went to Jean-
Georges Vongerichten’s ABC Kitchen in
New York, which focuses on local,
organic and seasonal foods. Rising star
chef of the year went to Gabriel Rucker
of Le Pigeon in Portland, Ore., a nod to
that city’s increasingly robust food scene.
The outstanding service award went to
New York’s Per Se, owned by the much-
lauded Thomas Keller. Outstanding
restaurateur went to

more than 30 restau-
rants, including that
city’s Tru restaurant.
During Friday’s
event, the foundation
gave a nod to the
Danny Meyer power of social
media in the food
world when it awarded its first humor
writing honors to the fictitious online
character Ruth Bourdain, an anonymous-
ly written mash-up of culinary icons
Ruth Reichl and Anthony Bourdain.
Ruth Bourdain became a profanely
funny sensation mostly via Twitter,
where he (or she?) would joust with and
poke fun at the culinary elite. And the
anonymity of the character’s creator
endured despite receiving a major award;
no one stepped forward to accept the
award.
On Monday, the Beard Foundation
also named its top regional chefs around
the country: Alex Young of Zingerman’s
Roadhouse in Ann Arbor, Mich. (Great
Lakes region); Michael Solomonov of
Zahav in Philadelphia (Mid-Atlantic);
Isaac Becker of 112 Eatery in
Minneapolis (Midwest); Gabrielle

REBUILD
Continued from page 1
in which he grew up. Elected officials,
neighbors, city employees and lots of
press also gathered since the Hensels are
the first family who lost their home in the
Sept. 9 explosion and fire to rebuild.
Mayor Jim Ruane recalled being
tapped on the shoulder by 73-year-old
Bob Hensel, the homeowner and Rob’s
father, shortly after the blast.
“He said, ‘he was going to be the first
to rebuild.’ I told him ‘I’m gonna be
there,’” said Ruane.
Bob and his wife Nancy were lucky.
Nancy Hensel, 75, was in Europe when
the natural gasline explosion and fire
erupted in the Glenview neighborhood
shortly after 6 p.m. Sept. 9. Bob Hensel, a
retired firefighter, was home. He grabbed
the two cats, got in his car and drove
away. Upon his return, Bob Hensel found
a dusty kitten which, despite being taken
to the Peninsula Humane Society, was
never claimed. Dusty, as the cat is aptly
named, is now part of the Hensel family.
Thirty-eight homes were destroyed in
the blast. Many more were damaged and
eight people were killed.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
described herself as feeling tingly during
the Tuesday event.
“It’s exciting for all of us,” she said as
she lauded the San Bruno city staff. “You
absolutely rock. We are here today
because the city believed.”
The family decided to rebuild after
Pacific Gas and Electric, which oversees
the natural gas pipeline that exploded,
announced it would not reconnect that
portion of piping, said Bob Hensel.
“We’re glad to be here and want to get
back into our house,” said Bob Hensel,
who also wished his neighbors well.
The couple who moved to Fairmont
Drive in 1974 had a tradition of decorat-
ing their home for every holiday. After the
explosion, their youngest son, Rob
Hensel, decided to keep the tradition alive
starting with Halloween.
“It had to be done. [The tradition] had
to be kept going,” he said, noting the fam-
ily’s excitement to rebuild and have a
place to come together again for holidays.
Nancy Hensel described seeing the
Halloween decorations as bringing tears
to her eyes.

Tripoli sites bombed

By Diaa Hadid
and Michelle Faul
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIPOLI, Libya — In a one-two

punch against Moammar Gadhafi’s
forces, NATO warplanes struck a
command center in the capital,
Tripoli, on Tuesday after pounding
regime targets around the besieged
port of Misrata. Rebels hoped the
stepped-up attacks could help
extend some of their biggest
advances to date, including a major
outward push from Misrata.
The opposition also said it made
gains along a long-deadlocked front
near the eastern town of Ajdabiya.
Gadhafi, Libya’s autocratic ruler
since 1969, has not been seen in
public since one of his sons was
killed in a NATO airstrike April 30.
A NATO official, Italian Brig. Gen.
Claudio Gabellini, said the alliance
had no evidence to indicate whether
Gadhafi was alive or dead.
The rebels’ military spokesman,
Col. Ahmed Bani, said opposition
forces had pushed Gadhafi’s troops
out of rocket range on the west side
of Misrata and dislodged them from
the airport after two days of battles,
raising the prospect that the siege
could be broken.
Bani said rebels from Misrata and
Zlitan, 35 miles (55 kilometers)
west, had joined up to fight in close-
range combat that rendered the
regime forces’ long-range rockets
useless. Speaking to the Associated
A Libyan soldier stands near a damaged building at the High Commission
for Children, which the Libyan government said was caused by coalition
air strikes,in Tripoli,Libya.
Press in the rebel headquarters city
of Benghazi, Bani said Gadhafi’s
brigades were pushed about 10
miles (15 kilometers) back from
Misrata’s airport.
“The picture is looking good for
us,” he said.
In another boost to the opposition,
the U.S. State Department said the
first load of non-lethal American
military aid for the rebels landed
Tuesday at the port in their head-
quarters city, Benghazi.
Spokesman Mark Toner said the
shipment consisted of more than
10,000 meals, with further ship-

ments of medical supplies, boots
and protective gear to arrive shortly.
The delivery came ahead of planned
meetings in Washington this week
between U.S. officials and the head
of the opposition Transitional
National Council.
The Libyan conflict, dating to
mid-February, had seemed stalemat-
ed for more than a week, with most
of the fighting along the border with
Tunisia in the far west. The latest
airstrikes and overland advances
may give the rebels new momentum
in their struggle to topple Gadhafi
and win greater freedoms.

Al-Qaida likely to elevate
No.2 — or name no one
By Rebvecca Santana
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — A week after the
death of Osama bin Laden, his long-
time deputy is considered the front-
runner to succeed the iconic al-Qaida
founder. But uprisings in the Middle
East and changing dynamics within
the group could point to another sce-
nario: a decision not to appoint any-
one at all to replace the world’s most-
wanted terrorist.
Replacing bin Laden, who founded
al-Qaida more than two decades ago
and masterminded 9/11, may be no
easy task. Analysts say the choice
will likely depend on how the terror
organization views its goals and pri-
orities in the post-bin Laden age.
The revolt across the Arab world
FILE PHOTO
over the past few months was driven
by aspirations for Western-style
democracy, not the al-Qaida goal of a
religiously led state spanning the
Muslim world. And as al-Qaida
struggles to prove its relevance, the
group has become increasingly
decentralized and prone to internal
disputes.
“You almost have to start with the
question of ‘Can he be replaced?’ said
Lt. Col. Reid Sawyer, the director of
the West Point, N.Y.,-based
Countering Terrorism Center.
If al-Qaida does pick a successor,
Sawyer and other analysts said
Ayman al-Zawahri, 59, is the most
likely choice because he was bin
Laden’s longtime deputy and has far
more experience than younger candi-
dates.

never seen her without a smile on her
face and it’s contagious,” said guidance
counselor Janice Kelly.
Kim grew up in San Mateo. The
youngest of three girls, she was always
able to walk to school — Meadow
Heights Elementary, Abbott Middle and
Hillsdale High schools. Music was a part
of Kim’s life early. She has a tendency to
break out in song and began to play the
piano at 6. At 7, Kim began singing with
the Peninsula Girls’ Chorus. In middle
school, Kim began playing the cello as
well. Cello was by far the favorite of her
musical outlets.
“I always loved the sound,” she said.
Music brought with it other opportuni-
ties like playing in the pit orchestra for
high school musicals, performing at
nursing homes and playing with the
Peninsula Youth Orchestra, which she
joined junior year.
Athletics were never Kim’s forte, but
she did take tennis lessons in elementary
school. During middle school, she began
taking martial arts lessons, which she
stopped junior year when the list of
activities became quite long.
Kim found a love of the courtroom
during her freshman year when she
joined Mock Trial, in which she partici-
pated throughout high school. She loved
the challenge of critical thinking, think-
ing on her feet and succeeding in front of
a real judge.
“You feel prepared for anything. It
helped me refine skills and develop
skills,” she said.

ment teacher, Pam Seligman, said

is great” is the same phrase an al-Qaida
terrorist who participated in the hijack-
ing of Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, was
heard saying on a voice recorder as the
plane plummeted to a field in
Pennsylvania.
Wright quickly unbuckled his seat belt
after he heard the phrase and headed
toward the man as it quickly became
clear the agitated passenger was not
headed toward the bathroom but rather
the plane’s cockpit.
Some passengers and flight attendants
briefly struggled with the irate man
before Wright reached him and subdued
him.
Yesterday, a federal prosecutor called
the passenger, 28-year-old Rageh al-
Murisi of Yemen, a “significant threat.”
Al-Murisi, who has family in Vallejo,
is currently being held in custody with-
out bail while awaiting trial.
Wright, who retired from the SMPD in
2007, recounted Sunday night’s events
yesterday at San Francisco International
Airport.
Al-Murisi was being taken to the
ground by four or five others on the
plane when Wright finally took a hold of
him.
While Wright’s adrenaline was pump-
ing, so too was al-Murisi’s as the former
officer’s hands slipped off the struggling
passenger.
“His skin was clammy, almost moist,”
Wright said yesterday.
Wright wrapped the man up again in a
“control hold” while others tried to cuff
him. Wright too then attempted to put
some “flex cuffs” on al-Murisi without
success. He tried again, this time suc-
cessful, as he told others to take the
man’s shoes and socks off.

What was your favorite subject in high school:
Math has always been my favorite subject.I really

What will you miss most about high school:I will

What is the biggest life lesson you’ve learned

biggest life lesson I’ve learned so far is to not judge

Wright then took his belt off and
strapped al-Murisi’s wrists to his ankles.
He was under control but Wright’s atten-
tion immediately went to the “what-ifs.”
Wright asked himself, was the man
carrying a contaminant or improvised
explosive device? Was there an accom-
plice?
Not wanting to risk the safety of other
passengers, Wright determined the man
should not be transported to the back of
the plane as first suggested by one of the
flight attendants.
Instead, Wright laid the man face
down on the floor near the front of the
plane and sat on him for about 20 min-
utes until the plane and all of its passen-
gers landed safely in San Francisco.
“I knew what could have happened
and it didn’t happen,” Wright said yes-
terday. “He had a plan. I thought he was
trying to crash the plane.”
Al-Murisi never said a word directly
to Wright.
“He just kept saying Allahu Akbar
over and over again, maybe 30 times,”
Wright said.
The phrase has become synonymous
with the events of Sept. 11 and Wright
knew through his training when al-
taking effect.
If approved the plan would require all
segments of the state’s gas transmission

San Bruno, Calif., last year — to be

debates about constitutional rights.”
Sophomore year, Kim began working
with the environmental club on campus.
That summer, she got the idea to travel
to a Third-World country to volunteer.
She applied to the program AMIGOS de
las Americas and was accepted.
Throughout her junior year, Kim went
through intensive training to prepare her
for eight weeks in Latin America. She
stayed in a small town in Moquete,
Paraguay. The farming community was a
45-minute walk from the closest paved
road. Kim stayed with a host family with
one other teen volunteer during the trip.
They worked on a few projects like
building latrines, painting the local
school and helped lead education camps
for two hours a day, five days a week.
Returning home, just a few days
before her senior year started, was a cul-
ture shock for Kim. She was living in a
world where nothing was wasted. So
much seemed frivolous after that.
Throughout high school, Kim has
taken six additional math classes at the
College of San Mateo. She isn’t sure yet
if those units will transfer to Stanford
University in the fall, but she isn’t too
worried. Kim plans to study either
physics or international relations. She
doesn’t plan to stay on campus to finish
her degree. She hopes to travel abroad
— to Australia, Chile and possibly to
conduct research in Antarctica — and
someday join the Peace Corps.

Murisi first yelled the phrase on the
plane that nothing good could come
from it.
Nearly 10 years ago, on the day of the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Wright was
at a High-tech Crime Investigation
Association meeting in Long Beach
when the Twin Towers fell.
He saved the green T-shirt from that
weekend’s event as a reminder and
brought it to the airport yesterday.
“I swore to myself after that day that I
would never be a victim,” Wright, 54,
said while holding up the T-shirt.
He does not consider himself to be a
hero, however.
In fact, he was reluctant to come for-
ward and tell his story because he
prefers to live a private life.
“I’m no hero. Under the circum-
stances, I did what I think everyone
should do,” he said.
Wright worked with the San Mateo
Police Department from 1981 until his
retirement in 2007.
He quoted a phrase from 18th century
Irish statesman Edmund Burke at the air-
port yesterday.
“Evil prevails when good men do
nothing.”
Al-Murisi had no luggage and was
carrying two checks totaling $13,000 on
the flight. Al-Murisi, who holds a
Yemeni passport, had identification
showing addresses in New York City and
Vallejo, federal prosecutors said yester-
day.
A detention hearing for al-Murisi is
scheduled for Friday, federal prosecutors
said. The crime of interfering with flight
crew members and attendants carries a
potential sentence of up to 20 years in
prison upon conviction.
“We don’t need to be flustered by this,
but we must be prepared,” Wright said
yesterday.

You are likely to find not one, but numerous ways in
the near future to make your material position much
more secure. Each is likely to come through a friend
or an associate, but it’ll be your hard work that brings
it about.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The way you go about
achieving your aspirations and objectives is likely to
win you the admiration of your peers. They might not
say anything openly, but they’ll be thinking it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t hold back, share
some interesting experiences and constructive ideas
with your peers, and everyone is likely to find you to
be a most enjoyable conversationalist.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even though it’s quite
likely that you would prefer operating discreetly,
especially when handling financial issues, you won’t
mind sharing your ideas with others when they ask.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You should follow your own
judgment rather than adhering to the opinions of oth-
ers. You have the ability to perceive facts accurately,
and are able to use them both wisely and imaginatively.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One of your strongest
natural assets is your ability to organize. If anything
needs to be systematized, volunteer your services
and replace confusion with methodology.

day to establish contacts in both your social and AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’ll be easier to
