Dispute could
hurt Whitman’s
Latino strategy
By Samantha Young
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The airwaves
in California have been dominated
by images of a teary immigrant
housekeeper claiming she was mis-
treated by her billionaire employer
and turned away when she asked for
citizenship help.
It’s far from the message
Republican Meg Whitman wants to
send to the state’s crucial Latino vot-
ing bloc as she runs for governor.
Whitman is accused of knowingly
having the illegal immigrant house-
keeper from Mexico on her payroll
for several years in a revelation that
has throttled her campaign just as
she prepares for a Spanish-language
debate Saturday against Democratic
opponent Jerry Brown. She needs
Latino voters to win in Democratic-
leaning California.
Whitman has sought to cast the
story in a positive way — careful not
to demonize the housekeeper while
calling her an extended member of
the family. Whitman noted how she
and her husband paid her the usual
$23-an-hour fee even when they
were away on vacation and said the
woman is being manipulated by
Democratic operatives connected to
the campaign of Brown.

Breaking princess stereotypes Obama praises
passage of state
Foster City author/publisher launches book series for girls
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Princesses, throughout history, have done
more than don elegant dresses, attend balls
and chase after the fairy tale ending of love
that lasts happily ever after.
Foster City resident Shirin Bridges took
note when her oldest niece had taken the tra-
ditional princess gear out of her room.
Bridges, a history buff, shared with her niece
how there are women who have done wonder-
ful things throughout history in addition to
simply being a princess. Her niece’s interest
was piqued.
“I really wanted a different story. What
princesses can do is powerful. When I could-
n’t find the books, I decided to write them,”
she said.
As a result, Bridges launched a series of
books entitled the “Thinking Girl’s Treasury
of Real Princesses.” In the six-book series,
Bridges blends true historical female figures
with lyrical story-telling style, culture and
beautiful artwork. At 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2,
the stories will be launched at Books Inc.’s
Opera Plaza store, 601 Van Ness Ave. in San
Francisco. The event will feature sushi and
champagne for adults, milk and cookies for
kids, and birthday cake for everyone.
This princess series is the first of what
should be many blurring the lines between
children’s and chapter books aimed toward 9-
to 13-year-old girls.
“Most of my writing is about girls who
manage to do what few people think is possi-
ble,” said Bridges. “Now my focus is on real
princesses throughout history who’ve accom-
plished incredible things in their own right.
These stories blend messages of female
empowerment with the romance and enchant-
ment surrounding princesses.”
Bridges, 44, began writing at a young age in
LOCAL/STATE
notebooks and
journals, noth-
ing in particu-
lar. She did
enjoy short
stories. Born
in Hong Kong,
Bridges immi-
grated to
California for
s c h o o l .
T h a n k f u l l y,
she learned
English before
Shirin Bridges coming over.
After com-
pleting school in Santa Clara, Bridges
returned to Hong Kong where she worked for
one year after at the Hong Kong Stanford
newspaper. It was while reporting that
Bridges discovered her love of writing. When
her family decided to immigrate to the United
States, Bridges followed. She hoped to work
as a reporter again but instead got a job copy-
writing in the advertising department of a
newspaper.
Somewhere along the way she started writ-
ing children’s books. Her first work, “Ruby’s
Wish,” was widely praised. It was named one
of the Best Children’s Books of 2002 by
Publishers Weekly, and won the Ezra Jack
Keats awards for best writer and best illustra-
tor in 2003. Her second book, “The Umbrella
Queen,” released in 2008, had similar praise.
Experience with the printing business
showed Bridges gaps in the publishing indus-
try. She noted the long time it took to publish
a children’s book. And although girls were
more apt to read, fewer books were written
for them. Her niece’s desire to learn a differ-
ent princess story was the impetus to fill that
gap.
To accelerate the timeline, Bridges started
her own publishing company, Goosebottom
Books. She reached out to trusted allies she
had worked with along the way to edit and
illustrate and make those plans a reality. Then,
Bridges spent three months in the library in
London researching stories about strong
women who gave a different twist to the tra-
ditional princess role.
“I’m a big believer in fun non-fiction for
girls of this age. These princesses are incredi-
ble role models of empowerment. Their sto-
ries are fascinating in their own right, but also
hold powerful lessons for children — lessons
that we aim to sneak through in a fun and
palatable way. We call it ‘stealth education,’”
she said.
The books span a large time span, visit var-
ious countries like Greece, India and Egypt
and follow warrior princesses and kind rulers.
It’s the first series, solely written by Bridges,
of what will hopefully be many. Next up is
Dastardly Danes, which will examine histori-
cal female figures who had bad reputations.
Exploring rumors, name-calling and how
someone can end up with such a reputation is
something to which girls of this age are
drawn, said Bridges. This series will be dif-
ferent, however, as Bridges won’t be taking
on the author’s role for all the books.
There should be a launch celebration before
the next series can be completed. Saturday’s
event will also feature illustrator Albert
Nguyen, who will work with children at the
event to draw princesses.

Governor vetoes domestic Agreement reached

violence shelter funding
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
Thursday night veto of legislation
that would help fund domestic vio-
lence prevention programs has vexed
a state senator and worried shelter
providers statewide.
The bill, SB 662, would have given
counties throughout California the
option of increasing by up to $10 a
portion of marriage license fees that
funds services for victims of domes-
tic violence, according to Adam
Keigwin, a spokesman for Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, who authored the bill.
The rejection of the shelter funding
comes at a time when financial pres-
sures are leading to increased calls for
help at all national violence preven-
tion agencies, according to Camille
Hayes, a spokeswoman for the
California Partnership to End
Domestic Violence.
Economic recessions are proven to
exacerbate violent relationships,
Hayes said, possibly causing verbal
or psychological abusers to advance
to physical violence, and landing peo-
ple already in physically abusive part-
nerships in emergency rooms with
major injuries.
When shelters are not an option,
“individuals far too often go back to
their abuser, and that’s when even
greater tragedies happen for them and
their children. That’s just the brutal
reality of this veto,” Keigwin said.
The only provision for shelter fund-
ing in the current,
stalled state
budget talks is a
request that $20.4
million be allo-
cated to violence
prevention agen-
cies by the
California
Emergency
Leland Yee Management
Agency, Hayes
said. That request is at risk for the
same line-item veto that left shelters
in crisis in 2009, she said.
Schwarzenegger explained in a
statement that part of the reason he
vetoed the bill Thursday was a lack of
reporting requirements and a sunset
date on the marriage fee increases.
He said the “large blanket authori-
zation for all counties” for fee
increases would make the success of
the bill difficult to determine.
“The Legislature has failed to pro-
vide a well thought out plan to fund
domestic violence shelters,”
Schwarzenegger said. “Until a budget
is adopted and the appropriate level of
domestic violence funding is deter-
mined, this bill is premature.”
Keigwin said Yee would not let
Thursday’s rejection slow him down.
“He absolutely won’t vote for a
budget that does not have this fund-
ing,” Keigwin said. “He’ll do every-
thing he can to continue to fight for
those funds. Unfortunately, that may
take us getting a new governor.”
Schwarzenegger,legislative leaders reach budget deal
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger and legislative lead-
ers said they struck a comprehensive
agreement after an intensive five-hour
meeting Friday night, signaling an
end to California’s record-long budg-
et stalemate after 93 days.
No details were released on how
the state plans to bridge a $19 billion
deficit, as legislative leaders left the
governor’s office in the Capitol.
However, Assembly Minority Leader
Martin Garrick, R-Solana Beach,
indicated Republicans were success-
ful in their quest to ward off tax
increases.
“Legislative leaders and the gover-
nor have finally reached an agree-
ment on a no-tax budget that protects

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Throw out the clowns
A
reader took me to task
for, as he put it, “... (con-
tinuing) his cartoonish
caricatures of Republicans, in
which he labels all opposition to
the Obama as mindless.”
For the record, who I called
“mindless” is the 20 percent of cit-
izens whose personal attacks and
demonization of the president by
the “birthers,” Muslim suspectors
and even those who accuse him of
being the antichrist, should be
embarrassment for the other four-
fifths of the nation and those other
nations who are looking on at all
this childishness.
Where I will call this reader is
his statement: “Whatever their
merits or demerits, the
Republicans have raised principled
objections to President Obama’s
policies and have voiced substan-
tive proposals of their own.”
Where, Sir? When? What “prin-
cipled objections?” What “sub-
stantive proposal?” You write I am
“avoiding the issues.” What
issues? I’ll be happy to answer
them with arguments and evi-
dence, if I were only able to find
them.
I have been reading everything
from The Wall Street Journal to
the media on the left, daily, and
follow the Internet for at least
eight hours a day and I have never
read about a single proposal by the
national Republican Party, other
than (following their major
spokesman Rush Limbaugh)
“Fight every administration pro-
posal, no matter what its merit and
seek to regain power to repeal any
legislation that slips through. And
bring us back to the George W.
Bush era” (that which has already
been firmly ensconced as the
worst administration in modern
history and fifth from the bottom
of all presidencies).
Some “substantive policies!”
So, Sir, if you are an honorable
man, sincere and accurate in your
comments, send to me the refer-
ences to such “principled objec-
tions” and “substantive proposals.”
I will check them out and print
them in this column if, indeed,
you can show me that such exist in
what is proving to be the least
principled and meanest, most fear-
mongering National Republican
Party in my lifetime.
And, you fault me, sir, for using
the term “clowns” for those who
have entered the center ring of this
bizarre political circus with me,
whom you have accurately call
“Bozo, the Clown.” But, you see,
it takes a Bozo, the Clown like me

Boxer’s tactics
Editor,
It’s no surprise Barbara Boxer
kicked off a negative advertising
campaign against her opponent
Carly Fiorina in the November
elections. What’s more surprising
is why Democrats are choosing to
promote an anti-corporate, tax-the-
rich message as the main campaign
theme. Only the week before
President Obama was talking about
the “millionaire and billionaires”
who deserve to pay more taxes,
although given the cost of living in
many areas of California, the peo-
ple the president is in favor of tax-

in the upcoming elections, espe-
cially the clowns endorsed by
Sarah Palin.
Where were these clowns when
Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, won
office faulting the Democrats as
“Tax and Spenders” and converted
that to “Spend and Don’t Tax!” As
a result, not only did he run up the
greatest national debt and deficits
in the history of the United States
of America, but also was a large
government hater who left office
with more numerous employees
than when he came in. Where
were these clowns then?
When Reagan commenced the
tax breaks for the rich, that econo-
mists call the, “greatest transfer-
ence of wealth in the history of the
country and, perhaps, the history
of world,” where the latest reports
are that, while the middle class
struggles and the poor are sinking
under the waves for a third time,
the top one percent of the popula-
tion now controls a full 50 percent
of the wealth of the nation and the
financial world is experiencing its
two most profitable years in its
history. Where were these com-
plaining clowns then?
When Reagan set in motion the
pattern of deregulation with,
“don’t we trust our big boys to be
honorable and honest?” We found
out the answer: It was no! He set
the stage for those “honorable
boys” to gift us with the “Great
Recession.” Where were the
clowns then?
After Bill Clinton immortalized
himself as a president by bringing
the United States back to fiscal
sanity from the Reagan years and
gave the George W. Bush adminis-
tration billions of dollars of sur-
plus, where were these “honor-
able” Republic clowns, when
Bush, adopting the “Spend and
Don’t Tax” philosophy of Ronald
Reagan, dissipated the surplus and
took the winners cup away from
Reagan for “The Greatest Deficit
and National Debt in the History
of the United States.” Where were
the clowns then?
When Bush passed all this crap
on to the new administration, then,
and only then, did these clowns,
these “principled Republicans,”
jump into the center ring, howling
like Banshees, even accusing the
fresh, new president, who had
only been in office for a short
time, of causing the “Great

Do Democrats really want to be

How can anyone take those
clowns seriously who sat silent
while the Bush administration
launched a trillion dollars of two
wars and a new entitlement,
Medicare Prescription Drugs that
made the pharmaceutical compa-
nies ecstatically wealthier, while
cutting more taxes? And now,
these clowns are so, suddenly,
mad as hell about the deficit and
won’t take it anymore from
President Obama? Where were
these clowns during those eight
years?
That’s why I call them “clowns”
and also the most hypocritical and
lying national party in modern
political history. Not a single first-
class party leader, such as Bob
Taft, Vandenberg, Eisenhower,
Dirksen, even Richard Nixon in
the whole menagerie. Just a bunch
of big money-supported hacks that
function as the “Party of No!”
I will be anticipating your send-
ing me the citations for those
“principled objections,” you claim
were made by the National
Republican Party, Sir!
***
Another gentleman writes that I
recognize that “America is in free
fall.”
I certainly recognize that, Sir!
It’s just if you read above you will
find out when the “free fall”
began. It was not just when the
Democrats took over Congress in
2007. And not only because of, as
you put it, “the Obama ‘regime’ (I
love that word pulled back into
action by Rush Limbaugh) per-
haps the most defrauded, back-
room-dealing, union-owned, mem-
bership-only governments we have
seen in decades.”
If you look up the Internet, sir,
and substitute the words “corpora-
tion-owned” for “union-owned,”
you will find the most corrupt
administration in modern history
has been the eight years of the
Reagan “regime,” with the most
indictments and conviction of any
“regime” in modern history,
including the despicable HUD
giveaway of taxpayers assets, the
most ever.
What’s the difference whether
congressmen or women are cor-
rupted by union money or corpo-
rate money or who owns the
Supreme Court or which cable
show you latch on to? It’s still cor-
loves. Instead of solutions, her
focus is to direct anger over unem-
ployment towards corporate
America, and to obviously over-
look her role in championing gov-
ernment regulations and tax poli-
cies that make California’s busi-
nesses less competitive. The only
problem with Boxer’s approach is
it won’t bring solutions. It won’t
change unemployment. Boxer in
her classic style will help people to
get angry to win votes but do noth-
ing to bring real change in
Washington.

Bank of America delays
foreclosures in 23 states
By Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Bank of America says it is delaying
foreclosures in 23 states as it examines whether it rushed the
foreclosure process for thousands of homeowners without
reading the documents.
Bank of America is not yet able to estimate how many
homeowners cases will be affected, a spokesman for the
nation’s largest bank says.
A bank official acknowledged in a legal proceeding in
February that she signed up to 8,000 foreclosure documents a

Business brief
Choice of CEO signals new direction for HP
NEW YORK — The appointment of a German software
executive as Hewlett-Packard Co.’s next CEO sends an unmis-
takable signal that the board of the world’s largest technology
company is prepared to gamble big on an aggressive push into
the software business.
And analysts say it will need to do just that to avoid being
left behind in its core personal computer and printer business-
es that no longer offer much room for growth or big profits.
In a conference call that served as his formal introduction to
Wall Street on Friday, former SAP AG CEO Leo Apotheker
called software the “glue” that will hold together the different
parts of the company. “Software is how we can make sure that
the various parts of our technology actually fit well together,”
he said.
BUSINESS
Stocks nudge higher
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks started off
October on a positive note following
mostly good news on the economy.
Shares of big manufacturing compa-
nies like Boeing Co., General Electric
Co. and 3M Co. rose Friday after the
Institute for Supply Management said its
manufacturing index showed that factory
activity was still expanding in
September, although not quite as fast as
analysts had hoped and slightly slower
than the month before.
Stock indexes started the day higher
but gave up some of their gains late in
the day. The market is coming off a
major surge that brought the Dow Jones
industrial average up 10.4 percent in the
third quarter, and its upward momentum
may be waning. The Dow and the
Standard & Poor’s 500 index both had
their first down week after four weeks of
gains.
“Expectations have risen slightly” for
the economy in the past month, said Eric
Thorne, an investment adviser at Bryn
Mawr Trust Wealth Management.
“While that’s a good thing, it also means
that data needs to show significant signs
of improvement to drive stocks higher.”
Stocks jumped after the opening bell
Auto sales remain sluggish
By Dee-Ann Durbin
and Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — New models and Labor
Day promotions didn’t do much to fire
Americans’ appetites for new cars in
September.
Sales at Chrysler and Ford rose slight-
ly from August. They fell at General
Motors and Honda and were flat at
Toyota. Car companies say a recovery is
still happening, but it’s not as strong as
they had hoped following a terrible
2009.
Expressed as an annual rate,
September sales came in at a 11.76 mil-
lion pace. That’s up from a 11.47 million
rate in August, but far below 2007’s pre-
recession total of 16 million. “We’re not

By Joshua Freed and David Koenig

United and Continental closed the deal
on Friday that will create the world’s
biggest airline, although it will be
months before it looks that way to trav-

By early 2012, travelers will see a
combined airline called United Airlines,
with Continental’s blue and gold colors

Between now and then, the new com-
pany, United Continental Holdings Inc.,

Wall Street
on signs of strong growth in Chinese
manufacturing. Traders were sorting
through other reports suggesting that
U.S. economic growth remains sluggish.
Personal income and spending both
rose more than expected in August, with
incomes jumping by their fastest pace in
eight months. However the savings rate
also climbed, an indication that spending
might not climb much in the near future.
Consumer sentiment was better than ini-
tially thought in September, but still not
quite as strong as it was in August.
Taken together, the batch of U.S. eco-
nomic reports point to “very slow
growth,” said Bob Enck, president and
CEO of Equinox Fund Management. “It
tells us there’s still uncertainty.”
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
41.63, or 0.4 percent, to close at
10,829.68. It’s down 0.3 percent for the
week and up 3.9 percent for the year.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose
5.04, or 0.4 percent, to 1,146.24. It’s
down 0.2 percent for the week and up
2.8 percent for the year.
The S&P 500 again touched the 1,150
level in early trading Friday, but was
unable to hold above that threshold as it
remains somewhat range bound. It was
after a downturn, but we’ll see steady
growth,” said Don Johnson, GM’s vice
president of U.S. sales.
There were a few winners. Redesigned
crossovers, which are SUVs on car
frames, saw big jumps across the indus-
try. Sales of the 2011 Ford Edge, Jeep
Grand Cherokee and Toyota’s RAV4
doubled, while General Motors’ GMC
Terrain surged more than 200 percent.
With gas prices relatively low and credit
loosening, buyers have been gravitating
toward bigger vehicles.
Some new small cars also saw
strong sales, including Ford’s Fiesta
subcompact, which gets up to 40 miles
per gallon. Automakers may have to
rely even more heavily on more fuel-
efficient cars in the future. The Obama
administration proposed Friday to
raise the fuel economy average to 62
in at Continental or United websites and
airport counters. Their frequent flier pro-
grams will stay separate for now too.
The company said travelers should
begin to see a more unified brand in the
spring.
Will they see higher fares too?
Rick Seaney, CEO of
FareCompare.com, said the economy
will hold down prices in the short run.
Eventually, he expects reduced competi-
tion to lead to higher fares — the result
of Delta’s takeover of Northwest,
Continental’s disappearance, and
Southwest’s pending purchase of
AirTran.

Sales dropped 4 percent from August

ing to AutoData Corp. While it’s typical
for sales to decline after Labor Day, this
August was one of the weakest on
record.
Industry sales rose 29 percent from
last September, but that was deceptive.
The government’s Cash for Clunkers
rebate program, which ran during July
and August of 2009, drew buyers who
otherwise would have waited until later
in the year.
September had the uneven sales that
have plagued the industry all year. The
month started strong thanks to Labor
Day promotions, but sales tapered off
until the final weekend, when new mod-

piqued buyers’ interest.

Airline pricing is notoriously fickle.
Fares can rise on one route while falling

Then there are the different types of

travel consultant in New York, said busi-
ness fares — high-priced, last-minute
tickets — will rise now as the overall
economy improves. Airlines will have
less success raising leisure fares, he said,
because consumers worried about jobs
and home values will wait for sales.

put the Dons up 21-0 with 3:07 left to play in the
first half and Pacholuk capped the first-half scor-
ing with a 3-yard with just under two minutes to
play in the first half.
The halftime numbers left no doubt as to which
was the superior team. The Aragon offense racked
up a game’s worth of stats in the opening 24 min-
utes. The Dons rushed for 166 yards and threw for
135 for 301 yards of offense in the first half.
Defensively, the Dons were equally as strong, lim-
iting Capuchino to a miniscule 36 yards of offense.
In the second half, however, the Capuchino
offense started moving the ball. On the first play
from scrimmage in the third quarter, Capuchino’s
SPORTS
NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
Will Scott ripped off a 27-yard run. Following a
Mustangs’ punt, the Capuchino defense came up
with a big play when Ryan Padreddi intercepted a
pass that tipped off an Aragon receiver’s hands.
Capuchino followed that with its best drive of the
night, taking nearly seven minutes off the clock.
Starting from their own 15, the Mustangs drove
to the Aragon 29 before turning the ball over on
downs. While they didn’t score, it showed that
they were not simply going to roll over.
Aragon capped the scoring on its ensuing drive,
marching 71 yards on 12 plays. The drive was
capped by a 15-yard scoring strike from Anthony
Nichols to Sione Taufahema, who snatched the
ball out of the air at the 5 and rumbled into the end
zone.
When the final whistled sounded, the Dons
amassed a season-high 441 yards of offense. Tau
paced a 291-yard rushing effort by finishing with
97 yards on just 10 carries.
BEARS
Continued from page 11
Fonua first hooked up with Devonte Piper for
a 32-yards gain to the San Mateo 38. They
connected again two plays later, a 27-yard
hookup that took the ball to the San Mateo 3.
“That (score) was huge,” Taufoou said.
“That gave us some confidence.”
The Bears started the second half by forcing
a three-and-out by San Mateo — and that’s
when the Bearcats started to fall apart. San
Mateo attempted a fake punt from its own 25
and were stopped, giving the ball back to M-
A in excellent field position.
The Bears wasted little time in capitalizing,
needing just two plays to cover 23 yards.
Junior Sakalia ran for 13 yards on the first
play before Devonte Piper went the final 10
yards on the next play, bulling his way over
the goal line before high-stepping through the
end zone for a 14-0 M-A lead.
The Bears made it 21-0 on their next pos-
session when they forced another San Mateo
punt. This time, the snap sailed over the
punter’s head and he was tackled at the San
Mateo 11. Following a false-start penalty, M-
A quickly recovered and scored when Fonua
hit Stas Della Morte at the 10, who then broke
three arm tackles and waltzed into the end
zone.
M-A’s Austin Clarence intercepted a pass on
San Mateo’s next possession and the Bears
were back in business. Starting from their own
31, the Bears drove 69 yards on eight plays.
Not even a block in the back penalty could
stop them as Taylor Mashack capped the drive
with a 2-yard plunge and a 27-0 M-A advan-
tage with 1:50 left in the third quarter.
“We gave them too many opportunities,”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
“We gave them too many
opportunities.You give a
team like this momentum
and you’re in trouble.”
— Jeff Scheller,San Mateo coach
Scheller said. “You give a team like this
momentum and you’re in trouble.”
The Bears finished their scoring on their
first drive of the fourth quarter, going 46 yards
on just five plays. They had gains of 9, 12 and
5 before Charles Washington went the final 10
for the score, running over a San Mateo
defender at the goal line in the process.
San Mateo, which had a tough time gener-
ating any offense after losing Naufahu and
Filikitonga, finally put a drive together with
6:54 to play against the Bears’ second-string
defense. The Bearcats drove 89 yards on 11
plays, culminating with a Michael Latu 1-yard
touchdown. San Mateo was aided by a 45-
pass from Chris Zogarafos to junior tight end
Alex Strathearn, who finished with four catch-
es for 118 yards.
Without their top two running backs and
defenders, San Mateo was at a loss to generate
any offense or stop the Bears. M-A racked up
210 yards of rushing, while holding San
Mateo to a paltry 72 yards rushing and just
278 yards of total offense. M-A finished with
340 yards of offense.
“These kids are hungry,” said Taufoou.
“They want to win some games.”

Ginsberg pieced together
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An interesting combination of
courtroom drama, historical recre-
ation and animated poetry, “Howl”
is reverent enough about Allen
Ginsberg that it doesn’t even try to
bring him to life on celluloid.
The film, directed by Rob Epstein
and Jeffrey Friedman, is mostly
content with docudrama imitation.
“Howl” is split three ways, skip-
ping between each segment:
Ginsberg’s first public reading at
the smoky Six Gallery in 1955 San
Francisco, presented in black-and-
white; an interview with the poet in
1957, recreated from numerous
interviews; and the famous trial of
the same year in which Ginsberg’s
poetry was alleged to be obscene.
Blessing of the animals
St.Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of
animals and the environment.Each year,
around the time of his feast day,Oct.4,
churches of all denominations hold
ceremonies blessing animals.

Rated: Not rated
Grade:
The film introduces its origins
plainly as “composed from court
readings, interviews and `Howl.’”
In the reading and interview
scenes, James Franco gamely
attempts the daunting role of the
iconic poet. “Howl” doesn’t allow
for a full performance, leaving

Franco to mostly only grasp at imi-
tation. He does well enough (par-
ticularly in the interview scenes)
with Ginsberg’s halting intonation
and glint of mischief.
The courtroom scenes are the
film’s best mainly because they
supply some drama and are popu-
lated almost exclusively by fine
actors. The trial was a notable case
in 1st amendment rights, and con-
siderably helped Ginsberg’s fame.
Jon Hamm plays the defense
attorney, Jake Ehrlich, whose com-
manding orations and witness cross
examinations are distinctly Don
Draper-esque — which is to say,
fairly riveting. This is an actor

Five top
vampire
movies
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Choosing the five best
vampire movies is sure to stir the ire of the mul-
titude of fans of the genre, people who are pro-
prietary about this romantic, fearsome figure.
But with the opening this week of “Let Me In,”
it’s as good a time as any to sink our teeth into
the topic. (Sorry, the puns are just too easy.)
These are five I like best, in no particular order.
You will notice that none of them includes the
word “Twilight” in the title:
• “Let the Right One In” (2008): We may as
well begin with the Swedish thriller that inspired
“Let Me In,” a film that was rightly hailed for its
inventiveness, scares and soul. A lonely, bullied
boy befriends the mysterious, barefoot girl
who’s just moved into his shabby Stockholm
apartment complex — only she warns him they
can’t be friends, and she’s not really a girl any-
way. She’s been 12 “for a long time,” as she puts
it. Director Tomas Alfredson offers plenty of
startling scenes, but the real allure comes from
the suspense that builds in the stillness, and the
sweetness that arises from these two misfit char-
acters forging a relationship they both desperate-
ly need, even though they know it can’t last.
• “Nosferatu” (1922): As far as classics go, it’s
hard to choose between this and the Bela Lugosi
“Dracula” from 1931. Lugosi is, of course, syn-
onymous with the character. But Max Schreck
frightens me more. Maybe it’s the flickering,
black-and-white cinematography, the off-kilter
shadows and camera angles, all hallmarks of
German expressionism. Maybe it’s because F.W.
Murnau’s film is silent, allowing room for our
imagination to run wild. But all these decades
later, the vision of the lanky Schreck rising from
a coffin or walking through a doorway with that
haunting look in his eyes is still creepy as hell.
• “Shadow of the Vampire” (2000): Barely
anyone saw this movie, which is a shame
because it was wonderfully clever, funny and
disturbing. The premise from director E. Elias
Merhige and writer Steven Katz was that, in
making “Nosferatu,” Murnau knowingly hired a
real vampire as the star to make its frightening
moments more realistic. As the driven director,
John Malkovich provided an incisive exploration
of the lengths to which a filmmaker will go in the
name of art, and as Schreck, Willem Dafoe
delivered an Oscar-nominated supporting per-
formance full of impishness and intensity. It also
earned an Academy Award nomination for its
makeup.
• “The Lost Boys” (1987): Robert Pattinson
was an infant when this came out, nowhere close
to playing the swoony, sparkly Edward of the
“Twilight” series. But back then, Joel
Schumacher’s film defined the vampire as
teenage rebel. And this is very much a
Schumacher film, for better and for worse: It’s
got the hot young cast of Jason Patric, Kiefer
Sutherland, Jami Gertz and not one but two
Coreys, Haim and Feldman. But it’s also
extremely dated in retrospect, with the big hair
and the soundtrack including songs from INXS
and Echo and the Bunnymen. If you grew up in
the ’80s, though, this was an exciting, sexy little
movie.
• “Love at First Bite (1979): A disco-riffic
spoof of the seductive side of Dracula. George
Hamilton has never been as pasty or as funny as
he was here, playing the deadly serious and
hopelessly romantic count. Forced out of his
Transylvania castle, he moves to New York City
to pursue the model (Susan Saint James) he
adores from afar. Arte Johnson is a hoot as his
sniveling sidekick, Renfield. If you’ve never
seen this movie — or even if you have — please
go to YouTube right now and look up the scene
where Hamilton and Saint James boogie to
Alicia Bridges’ “I Love the Nightlife.” This one’s
dated, too, but it deserves eternal life.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
“Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Beyond: Post-
Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay,” now at
the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, presents nearly
120 of the Musée d’Orsay’s most famous late 19th century
paintings, including works by Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir,
Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin
and George Seurat. The de Young is the only museum in North
America to host this exhibition, which continues the artistic
story begun by “Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from
the Musée d’Orsay,” seen by 430,000 visitors this past sum-
mer.
“Each of these two shows brings together masterpieces that,
once they return to the Musée d’Orsay, will never again be
loaned out for exhibition as a group,” said Nicolas Sarkozy,
President of the French Republic. “I hope they will excite the
interest of the American public in order to strengthen further
the links between our two countries.” The importance of the
appearance of this show in San Francisco was underscored by
the presence at its opening of M. Guy Cogeval, President of
the Musée d’Orsay, and Romain Serman, Consul General of
France in San Francisco.
The Musée d’Orsay is lending works from its treasured col-
lections while it undergoes a partial closure for refurbishment
and reinstallation in anticipation of the museum’s 25th
anniversary in 2011. The Musée d’Orsay, a train station creat-

from private collectors and artists and their heirs. The Musée
d’Orsay’s collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist
paintings represents the finest survey of its kind in the world.
John E. Buchanan, director of the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco, says, “Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and
Beyond explores the groundbreaking artistic developments
that sprang forth in the wake of the ‘New Painting.’ It is an
unparalleled visual experience, one made possible only when
the most important repository of French art opens its vaults.”
Notable works in this exhibition include:
* A Dance in the Country by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1883)
* Self Portrait by Vincent van Gogh (1887)

‘Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep’
By Robert Errera
THE CRISPY GAMER
I’ve waited a very long time for a
“Kingdom Hearts” game that com-
pares to the original. “Birth by
Sleep” comes close.
From the start, no matter which
character you choose to play as, you
are faced with the ethics of light vs.
darkness -- physical embodiments of
purity of heart, hatred, rage, jealousy,
etc. These are moral themes we’ve
encountered before, having Sora
tasked with literally locking the heart
of each world so that darkness would
not get in. The light/dark philosophy
comes down to this: Should we push
darkness out of our hearts and live a
life of pure light, or should we learn
to embrace and control the darkness
within ourselves and use its vast
power to improve our abilities?
Through Terra we see what havoc
the darkness can wreak when not
controlled. Through Xehanort we see
what power can come from it when
harnessed. And female Keyblade
Master Aqua and the Sora/Roxas-
like Ventus show what the light can
achieve when untainted by darkness.
“Birth by Sleep” simplifies the
increasingly convoluted story ele-
ments that each “Kingdom Hearts”
game has added, setting the story 10
years before the events of Sora’s first
adventure and before the player
needs to keep track of who’s whose
Nobody and what villain is or has a
Heartless version of themselves.
There are fewer characters to juggle
than in “Kingdom Hearts II,” making
the ones that do have screen time
shine that much more.
After a mysterious prologue
involving Ventus and the infamous
Xehanort on Destiny Islands, we
meet the trio in the game’s present
day. You are told to run through the
training center with Ventus, and this
quick tutorial leads you to a sparring
ring where you can switch between
each character and try them out
before deciding whose path you’d
like to follow. And that’s it. Fifteen
minutes or less of a tutorial and
you’re ready to move on to the main
game, instead of the playable two-
hour introduction tutorials of the two
console games in the series.
The three main characters, Terra,
Ventus, and Aqua, are Keyblade
“Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep”is a game every PSP owner and “Kingdom Hearts”fan should play.
wielders in training in the Land of
Departure. Terra and Aqua take the
test to become Keyblade Masters,
unfortunately only Aqua is chosen;
Terra lets some of the darkness with-
in him slip out during a one-on-one
battle with Aqua and Ventus is too
young to compete in this test. Not
long after they receive word of dark
entities called the Unversed attack-
ing other worlds, and on top of that,
Master Xehanort goes missing.
Fighting is classic Kingdom
Hearts action-RPG style. You’ll
mash the attack button for combos
and use special keyblade attacks and
magic that is equipped to a D-Pad-
controlled menu. New to the battle
system are D-Links and finishes.
Finishes are exactly what they sound
like - devastating ends to combos
that can be activated when a meter
atop your command menu fills up,
increasing as you fight. D-Links
(dimension links) allow your charac-
ter to connect to someone they’ve
met and draw on their abilities for
battle. Who you can D-Link with
changes from character to character;
Ventus may form a link with some-
one like Cinderella, but Terra will
form links with villains like
Maleficent, and can then use spells
that cater to her personality, like
Thundara. If Terra links to Ventus he
can use lots of jumping slashes and

keyblade-specific moves, though
linked abilities temporarily take the
place of your equipped ones. Your D-
Link with each character can level up
twice, as well, each time gaining an
automatic ability like haste or auto-
remedy, for example.
My first playthrough was with
Ventus. It seemed logical, as he was
the object of the prologue. However,
after completing his story and begin-
ning again as Terra, I was provided
more answers about the game’s
world. It would have been a far bet-
ter starting story. For much of my 15-
hour playthrough with Ventus I was
wondering what the things I was
fighting were, so Ventus’ story may
be better left for the second
playthrough. He controls and looks
like a Roxas clone, and is agile,
quick, and balanced between
strength and magic. Terra’s attacks
are slower but stronger, and Aqua is
weak but has a powerful magic boost
What’s interesting about having
three storylines is that we get to see
each character grow as they learn life
lessons from characters on other
worlds. Terra parallels a more
grounded Riku and Ventus parallels
Sora. Aqua has more of a Kairi sen-
sibility, but with the maturity of age
and discipline. You can see traces of
the main characters of the series but
at the same time they retain their own
personalities. But with three charac-
ters to choose from, Birth By Sleep
essentially becomes three games.
Each character moves and attacks
differently, gains abilities in a differ-
ent order, and meets different people.
My playthroughs ranged from 8 to
15 hours, time which will vary
depending on how much level grind-
ing, ability grinding, and mini-game
playing you do, and what difficulty
you choose. There are some battles
that are nearly impossible on Proud
mode (only the second hardest diffi-
culty). In fact, after literally 40 or
more tries I still cannot beat the final
boss in Terra’s storyline. I’m all for a
challenging fight, but this one was
absolutely ridiculous to the point in
which I was willing to turn to
YouTube for Terra’s ending.
You’ll have new interactions with
Disney characters along the way and
each character will explore portions
of the Disney worlds that the other
characters may not have seen.
Mickey, Cinderella, Prince Phillip,
Sleeping Beauty, Pete, Chip ‘n Dale,
Jaq, Hercules, Stitch, and more are
all there, although Zack is the only
Final Fantasy character present in
this iteration of the series. This is
possibly due to the fact that no
worlds have been destroyed yet, so
the Final Fantasy characters would
not have been scattered to the Disney
Weekend • Oct. 2-3, 2010 21
worlds at this point in the timeline.
I only wish the game gave us a
more powerful demonstration of the
keyblade’s unique abilities. When
Sora first gained his keyblade, he
used it to lock entire worlds so the
darkness wouldn’t get in. In the sec-
ond game he unlocked passageways
between the worlds. Terra, Aqua, and
Ventus open chests and sometimes
locked doors, but they mainly only
use it as a weapon that can fight dark
entities until the end of the game.
You’ll often forget you’re not using a
regular sword. “Birth by Sleep” is
also a bit light on the emotional com-
ponent throughout a majority of the
story. The Sora/Kairi longing was
well done in Kingdom Hearts, and
by the end of the second game it had
a good amount of impact - their rela-
tionship was important to the player.
Unfortunately, because of the nature
of playing three characters that are
split up from the beginning, we never
truly feel the amazing friendship the
characters are trying so hard to pro-
tect, not only because you hardly see
them together but also because you
hardly know the actual characters
involved until you’ve played most or
all of the storylines.
“Birth by Sleep” is a game every
PSP owner and “Kingdom Hearts”
fan should play. It will keep you
engaged for hours at a time and
includes three perspectives of the
events of the game without the plot
becoming stale. You’ll see the begin-
nings of Xehanort’s attempt to open
a path to the world of Kingdom
Hearts, hear his philosophies, and
see what causes the split into the
Heartless “Ansem” and the Nobody
“Xemnas” we see in the other games
of the series. It’s largely a Xehanort
origin story and in no way a tale of
the keyblade’s beginning, but it satis-
fies with interesting characters and
new interactions with Disney worlds
that were losing their charm by
“Kingdom Hearts II.” There’s also an
arena world where you can do sin-
gle-player trials (i.e. Hercules’ stadi-
um in past games) or compete in ad
hoc multiplayer, and a board game
mini-game that levels up your abili-
ties. Play it, love it, and play it two
more times to finish Terra, Aqua, and
Ventus’ stories and unlock the secret
ending. You’ll have a great time.

Anyone for a picnic at the old cemetery?
By Ben Dobbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Atop an oak-shaded
hill at Mount Hope Cemetery, an epitaph chis-
eled in Latin on Col. Nathaniel Rochester’s
headstone whispers on the wind: “If you seek
his monument, look around you.”
Mount Hope, America’s oldest municipal
park-garden graveyard, is a refuge not only
for the departed. Curious souls still tramp
through the 196-acre arboretum by the tens of
thousands each year, among them picnickers,
bird watchers, joggers and history buffs.
In the Romantic era of Wordsworth and
Beethoven, the Victorian vogue of mourning
embraced a love of nature and artistry. So-
called “rural cemeteries” a few miles out of
town were a sublime departure from the aus-
tere colonial churchyards with morbid funer-
ary where the dead typically ended up.
Some 200 were established in the three
decades before the Civil War, beginning with
Mount Auburn near Boston in 1831. They’re
invariably hemmed in now by urban sprawl,
forerunners of large-scale city parks and the
grid-pattern cemeteries that predominate to
this day.
Carved out of wilderness on New York’s
western frontier in 1838, Mount Hope’s heav-
ily wooded Old Grounds are a jumble of gla-
cier-carved ridges, ravines and meadows.

charged. Claiming “Howl” is indecent is pros-
ecuting attorney Ralph McIntosh, played by
David Strathairn. He plays McIntosh as close-
minded but genuinely searching for answers
to a work of art he can’t understand. He asks
what “angel-headed hipsters” are with real
curiosity.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Cobbled carriage paths twist and tumble
past Greek-style mausoleums, a Florentine
fountain and a Gothic Revival chapel, stone
terraces fringed with wildflowers, and ornate
bronze, marble and granite sculptures of pet
dogs, winged angels and Celtic crosses.
And don’t forget the permanent residents —
350,000 at last count, and growing by 300 or
so each year.
Among the best-known: Civil rights crusad-
er Frederick Douglass, suffragist Susan B.
Anthony, anthropology pioneer Lewis Henry
Morgan, and William Warfield, fondly eulo-
gized in 2002 for his gravelly rendition of
“Ol’ Man River” in the musical “Show Boat.”
Around every curve lie tales of heroism,
ingenuity, intrigue and tragedy: A dentist,
Josephus Requa, who invented the first
machine gun; Gen. George Washington’s
drummer boy; an Arctic explorer with the
U.S. Army forced to resort to cannibalism;
George Selden, creator of the first gasoline-
powered automobile.
Regular visitors and newcomers alike are
drawn in by Mount Hope’s topography, archi-
tecture, personalized ornamentation and
fabled denizens. Perhaps above all, they treas-
ure the almost mystical hush.
“I look at the beauty, the architecture and
the stones and I remember all those buried
here that made the city — made history what
it is — as people,” said Joyce Wiedrich, 58, a
Trotted to the stand are various literary
experts played by Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise
Parker, Treat Williams and Alessandro Nivola.
As an academic straining to hide his shallow
perspective with an arrogant air, Daniels, in
particular, shines. Fooling no one, he calls the
poem’s protagonist “a drifter of dadaist per-
suasion.”
The poem’s reading is often accompanied
by psychedelic animation by former Ginsberg
illustrator Eric Drooker. The animations —
the worst part of the film — visualize the
words of “Howl”: a generic figure throws
nurse who gets a daily glimpse of Mount
Hope from a nearby hospital and loves ram-
bling the grounds on fall weekends. “I don’t
get morose or just think of death when I come
here. I think of the life that surrounds this
place.”
Consecrated a year into Queen Victoria’s
reign, Mount Hope began as a 54-acre ceme-
tery 1 1/2 miles from downtown, where over-
burdened burial grounds were proving a
health hazard and an obstacle to expansion.
Today, bustling neighborhoods and the
University of Rochester campus press all
along its perimeter in this city of 208,000 on
Lake Ontario’s southern shore.
Under towering oaks 200 to 300 years old,
the heart of Mount Hope “is maybe the only
place in Rochester that still looks like the 19th
century,” said Dennis Carr, a college library
researcher. “It brings history alive — a para-
dox in a cemetery — but you feel connected
to great events and people who did great
things.”
The Rochesterville settlement Col.
Rochester established along the Genesee
River gorge in 1811 was already a boom town
when he died in 1831. Twenty years later, a
Main Street burial ground had to make way
for the city’s first hospital and his body was
moved to its serene perch on Rochester Hill.
When the leaves have fallen, allowing
glimpses of the city, cemetery aficionados
himself off a rooftop, a dark factory morphs
into a bull, a saxophone breathes fire.
There are flashbacks to Ginsberg’s memo-
ries, too, where we see Jack Kerouac (Todd
Rotondi), Neal Cassady (Jon Prescott) and
Ginsberg’s lover, Peter Orlovsky (Aaron
Tveit). But these scenes are flimsy and no
attempt is made to characterize Kerouac or
Cassady as anything but handsome romantics.
All the various devices employed by
“Howl” are to illuminate Ginsberg and his
most famous poem.
As a love letter to “Howl,” the movie cannot

gather at the city founder’s large family plot.
“We put our cheese and crackers on top of the
tombstones, drink wine and have a nice time,”
said Oregon-born author Richard Reisem.
Mount Hope served as Reisem’s local park
when he took a job as a Kodak speechwriter.
“I had never seen anything like it in my life —
it was just astounding!” said Reisem, 80, one
of whose books, “Buried Treasures in Mount
Hope Cemetery,” is a field guide with 500
mini-biographies of his favorite inhabitants.
Carr, who with Reisem has led guided
walking tours at Mount Hope since the 1970s,
spotted Kurt Vonnegut on a 1994 pilgrimage
to honor fellow POW Edward Crone Jr., the
role model for Billy Pilgrim in
“Slaughterhouse Five.” Vonnegut later wrote
that “he didn’t feel the Second World War had
ended for him until he had come here and vis-
ited the grave of his friend,” Carr said.
The rural cemetery movement, which
sprouted at Pere LaChaise near Paris in 1804,
spread to England before crossing the
Atlantic.
Four private rural cemeteries — Mount
Auburn in Cambridge, Mass., Laurel Hill in
Philadelphia, Green-Wood in Brooklyn and
Spring Grove in Cincinnati — are national
historic landmarks. Within the next year,
Mount Hope will try to claim that top-tier des-
ignation as a rare rural cemetery run by a
municipality.
be denied. The language is soaked into the
film and lines like “I’m with you in
Rockland!” reverberate. The courtroom scene
supplies analysis of the poem, which have a
kind of staid inspiration. As Judge Clayton
Horn, Bob Balaban pronounces: “An author
should be real.”
Someday, a film about the Beats will cap-
ture such vibrancy. “Howl” is humble and
worthy, but far too passionless. One hungers
for a movie about, as Ginsberg says in the
film, “just a bunch of guys, trying to get pub-
lished.”

according to supporters.
The South San Francisco Unified
School District is hoping to upgrade
infrastructure needs if Measure J, a $162
million bond measure, is passed by vot-
ers this November. The measure could
upgrade school facilities and possibly
fund the installation of solar panels.
Currently, there is no vocal opposition
but questions have arisen about the dis-
trict’s relationship with certain compa-
nies that could benefit from the measure.
Such a measure requires a 55 percent
vote to pass.
Trustee Phil Weise explained the dis-
trict needs the funds since money from
the state is unreliable at best.
As proposed, a handful of schools
would receive major work, like new
buildings. Districtwide, there are larger
goals like replacing portables, installing
infrastructure to support new technology
and meeting science education needs,
said Weise.
Jan Speller, an English teacher who
serves as the South San Francisco
Classroom Teachers’ Association presi-
dent, noted many of the portable class-
rooms were originally placed 50 years
ago but were not meant to be used for
more than 20 years.

District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Defense attorney Richard Keyes
declined to comment on the case and
verdicts.
Thomas did not take the stand in the
guilt phase of the trial but testified dur-
ing the sanity section that he was unedu-
cated about sex as a child in England and
later felt having sex with minors was no
different than the same acts with an
adult. He told jurors the three boys,
including a 9-year-old boy he was in the
process of adopting, had instigated the
sexual encounters and that he captured
the acts on film and video because he
photographed “everything.”
Those graphic images of Thomas per-
forming and receiving sexual acts with
Dylan, the 9-year-old, and Freddie, a
teen he met through the San Francisco
Boys and Girls Club, were a key element
of the prosecution’s case. Keyes told
jurors not every photo met the legal def-
inition of specific sex crimes and that
some solely of the child nude may not
have had a lewd intent. However, jurors

war-torn communities. The former was
co-founded in 2004 by Derrick Kikuchi
and Craig Wiesner, owners of an educa-
tional consulting company who said they
became deeply committed to changing
the world through “teachable moments”
after trips to El Salvador and
Afghanistan highlighted incredible vio-
lence and suffering. The latter was
developed by Donna Baranski-Walker in
2003 as a way to aid Israeli and
Palestinian peacemakers working
together to rebuild Palestinian schools,
playgrounds and residences. Both
groups share office space in the building,
and offer products and resources in the
store.
Wiesner, co-founder of Reach and
Teach, says the center is designed for the
whole family to enjoy, but emphasizes
the fact that young children stand to
benefit significantly from early educa-
tion about tolerance and peacemaking.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Speller about the new technology needs
for teaching.
Teachers are working with projectors
on tables rather than smart boards and
computers in the classroom, she added.
Installing solar panels is one of the
most talked about items on the possible
project list.
In April, Chevron Energy Solutions
outlined a plan to place panels on El
Camino High School. The systems could
produce 1.5 to 3 megawatts, depending
on the number of panels, and generate
$15 million to $35 million over its life-
time. Building it would cost $10 million
to $24 million. Savings in electricity
could mean more money for retaining
teachers or programs, officials said.
Schools installing such projects are
eligible for rebates for the first five
years, an estimated $500,000 annually,
which would be in addition to the annu-
al estimated savings of $500,000 going
forward, said Weise.
Installation of these panels is already
creating questions for the community as
the board considers awarding the con-
tract prior to the election. A meeting on
the topic was held Thursday, during
which a subcommittee had suggested
hiring SunPower Corporation and Sun
Light & Power for different portions of
the job. The initial contract covers com-
prehensive energy audits and designing
the solar applications for each site.
Doing so would allow the district to
apply for rebates sooner, and therefore at
a higher dollar amount, if the bond
measure is approved.
convicted Thomas of dozens of felonies
of which most were variations of child
molestation. They also convicted him of
sending Dylan a picture frame with a
hidden GPS device after the boy was
taken from him and returned to Oregon
officials because of a spanking incident.
The jury deadlocked on an attempted
kidnapping count which prosecutor
Aaron Fitzgerald said was from Thomas
trying to steal Dylan and take him back
to England.
The GPS device led to Thomas’ arrest
and subsequent discovery of the images
that led to the child molestation charges.
Thomas has been in custody since and,
during that time, admittedly asked
Freddie to use a blow torch to destroy a
hard drive that may have contained other
incriminating images.
That request was one reason why
Fitzgerald told jurors Thomas was not
insane and well aware that what he was
doing was illegal. Fitzgerald also point-
ed to Thomas hiding a 4 gigabyte flash
drive with images in the bottom of a
laundry detergent box, where it went
undetected during the police search but
was later found by Freddie’s mother. He
also got Thomas to concede he never
spoke of the acts or child sexuality with
friends, coworkers or neighbors. If the
acts were acceptable, Fitzgerald rea-

“It’s for all ages, but when you walk
in, it will feel more like it’s for children,”
said Wiesner. “We realized early on that
a lot of the ways in which we interact
with the world are sewn into our beings
at a young age ... at 3, 4, 5. The issue of
bullying, for example ... the way you
deal with that is ingrained by 5, so lots of
our products are geared toward younger
children.”
Kikuchi agrees, and said he hopes
people of all ages in the community will
come use the space and explore what the
center has to offer, particularly the free
workshops, films and lectures.
“We’re going to be starting com-
posting, and we’re having someone

Neither was approved, however.
Instead. SunPower and Chevron will
give 20-minute presentations Monday
during a special board meeting at which
there will be the opportunity to award a
contract.
Those funds will not make up for large
cuts sustained in recent years but could
help the general fund in years ahead,
proponents said.
If approved, Weise is advocating that
the district adopt a design/build model
successfully utilized by the San Mateo
County Community College District.
Such a method requires the builder and
the architect to combine their talents at
the beginning of a project. It is thought
to result in less changes due to these
early conversations. In addition, the
project owner is able to negotiate — in
advance — a guaranteed maximum price
for the finished project.
Before placing Measure J on the bal-
lot, Godbe Research conducted a 600-
person phone survey for a bond measure.
Strong support, over 65 percent, was
found for a $144 million bond measure.
That support dropped to 62 percent
when those polled were asked if they
still supported the measure knowing it
would cost $11 per $100,000 of the
assessed value of the person’s property.
Measure J proposes a $14 per $100,000
of the assessed value of a person’s prop-
erty.

soned, why would Thomas keep them to
himself?
Thomas, particularly under direct
examination, said he had little sexual
knowledge or influence during his first
decades in England short of overhearing
other kids, watching a monkey mastur-
bate and having a friend share a World
War II movie about an adult soldier’s
sexual relationship with a 12-year-old
boy.
Fitzgerald told jurors Thomas, after
moving to the United States to work for
Barclays Investment Firm, set up a pho-
tography studio in his San Mateo home
ostensibly to be around young children.
Thomas, however, said he began the
practice to foster Dylan’s interest in
modeling.
When questioned about the graphic
images of himself having sex with
Freddie and Dylan, Thomas said they
likely captured specific acts only one
time because he was a “been there, done
that” sort of person and didn’t care for
repetition.
Thomas remains in custody on no-bail
status.

Donna Baranski-Walker, founder of
The Rebuilding Alliance, has devoted
much of her life to helping those in need.
She recently received a “Medal of
Gratitude” from Nobel Laureate and for-
mer President of Poland Lech Walesa for
her work in support of the Solidarity

also recognized her efforts to support
peace. U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo

Baranski-Walker sees Reach and

complementary, and says the new,
shared space finally provides enough
room for workers, volunteers and interns
from all over the world to convene and
share their knowledge and experiences
with each other and with visitors.

Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010
A number of pleasant developments are likely to be in the off-
ing in the next 365 days where your social life is concerned.
You could establish several new friendships and associations
that will be envied by all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Dare to be different and think
creatively, especially when it comes to your work or a project
that is extremely important. Use your smarts to avoid impedi-
ments and achieve objectives.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Someone you have been hop-
ing would notice you has actually been discreetly observing
you with admiration for some time. This might be brought out
in the open at last.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - When it comes to finan-
cial or commercial matters, your perceptions are likely to be
better than usual and right on the money. Use these assets in
ways that could benefit you and others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Even though some of your
ideas and thoughts might conflict with certain people with
whom you’re involved, your wonderful, disarming attitude will
gain you their acceptance anyway.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you are doing any com-
parison shopping for an expensive item, let quality take
precedence over price. Carefully check out your potential
purchase to determine its true worth.
this and be admired by all those who observe your careful-
ness and diligence.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You have a wonderful quality
about you that others will find to be quite appealing. It all
boils down to you expressing a blend of cooperation, consid-
eration and compassion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It’s one of those days when
you’ll retain everything you learn, and will later use it to your
advantage. However, it’s the kind of knowledge you can’t get
out of books, but only from observing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Some kind of innate knowledge
you have that might be a trifle difficult to define will be of
great benefit to you career-wise, financially and even perhaps
personally.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Express your inner urgings,
hunches and insights in as many practical ways as you can.
When your inner voice speaks, put its urgings to use in your
everyday affairs.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Friends are likely to tell you things
in confidence that they wouldn’t talk about with just anybody.
When put in action, one of these news bites could have sub-
stantial ramifications.
Previous
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Something mutually beneficial
could result when you align with someone whose ideals and Sudoku
thoughts parallel yours. It’s an association that’s destined to

NATO convoys attacked in Pakistan Around the world
Photos show U.S. soldiers ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Assailants
launched two separate attacks on tankers
carrying fuel for foreign troops in
crossing — the most important NATO sup-
ply into Afghanistan — on Thursday in

posing with Afghan corpses

By Gene Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Those who have seen the
photos say they are grisly: soldiers beside
newly killed bodies, decaying corpses and
severed fingers.
The dozens of photos, described in inter-
views and in e-mails and military documents
obtained by the Associated Press, were seized
by Army investigators and are a crucial part
of the case against five soldiers accused of
killing three Afghan civilians earlier this
year.
Troops allegedly shared the photos by e-
mail and thumb drive like electronic trading
cards. Now 60 to 70 of them are being kept
tightly shielded from the public and even
defense attorneys because of fears they could
wind up in the news media and provoke anti-
American violence.
“We’re in a powder-keg situation here,” said
Eugene R. Fidell, president of the National
Institute for Military Justice and a military
law professor at Yale University.
Since the images are not classified, “I think
they have to be released if they’re going to be
evidence in open court in a criminal prosecu-
tion,” he said.
Maj. Kathleen Turner, a spokeswoman for
Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle,
where the accused soldiers are stationed,
acknowledged that the images were “highly
sensitive, and that’s why that protective order
was put in place.”
She declined to comment further.
and the courts cannot afford to expend limited
Afghanistan on Friday, showing the vulner-
ability of NATO supply lines a day after the
Pakistani government itself shut one down.
The events stand to complicate a difficult
war in Afghanistan, especially if the
Torkham border crossing along the fabled
Khyber Pass remains closed for long. They
are a reminder of the leverage Pakistan has
over the United States just as Washington
seeks the help of its uncomfortable ally at a
crucial point in the 9-year-long conflict.
They also highlight the importance of
recently opened supply routes into land-
locked Afghanistan through central Asian
states to its north. Those routes are safer,
but the Pakistani lines from the Arabian
seaport of Karachi north to Kabul and
Kandahar in Afghanistan are cheaper and
account for most of NATO’s non-lethal sup-
plies.
Pakistan shut down the Torkham border
campaign, said in an e-mail to supporters.
apparent protest of a NATO helicopter
attack that killed three Pakistani soldiers on
the frontier. It was the third such incursion
into Pakistan in less than a week.
Ecuador troops rescue
president from rebel cops
QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuadorean soldiers
firing automatic weapons and concussion
grenades rescued President Rafael Correa
late Thursday from a hospital where he was
trapped most of the day by rebellious police
who plunged the country into chaos in a
protest over benefit cuts.
At least five soldiers were wounded by
gunfire in the 35-minute firefight, the mili-
tary command said, while the security min-
ister said at least one person was killed and
six injured earlier in the day as Correa’s
supporters clashed with insurgent cops out-
side the hospital.
vided for drug offenders under a ballot meas-

POT
Continued from page 1
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reduces posses-
sion of an ounce or less of pot from a misde-
meanor to an infraction with a maximum pun-
ishment of a $100 fine.
Even as a misdemeanor, possession of up to
an ounce was still punishable only by a $100
fine and no jail time. But offenders also faced
arrest, a possible court appearance and a crim-
inal record.
Schwarzenegger reiterated his opposition to
the ballot measure known as Proposition 19
when he signed Senate Bill 1449 but said the
new law would save the state courts money.
“In this time of drastic budget cuts, prose-
cutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement
resources prosecuting a crime that carries the
same punishment as a traffic ticket,” the gov-
ernor said in a statement.
Other opponents of Proposition 19 said the
new law helped their cause by negating the
argument that legalizing pot would let police
focus on more dangerous crimes, said Roger
Salazar, a spokesman for the No on Prop 19
group.
“From our perspective it takes away the last
reason anyone would have to vote for
Proposition 19,” Salazar said.
Meanwhile, backers of Prop 19 called the
new law a step in the right direction but said
the ballot measure was still needed.
“So long as there are any penalties on mar-
ijuana users, and so long as the production
and sale of cannabis are illegal, we can’t rest,”
Jeff Jones, a spokesman for the Yes on 19
Proposition 19 would more or less make the
new law irrelevant by legalizing possession of
up to an ounce for personal use for adults 21
and older.
The ballot measure also would allow small
marijuana gardens on private property and let
local governments set rules for taxing and
selling the drug.
The bill making possession an infraction
was authored by San Francisco Democratic
Sen. Mark Leno and supported by the Judicial
Council of California — the official policy-
making body of the court system — and by
the California District Attorneys Association.
California’s major police associations all
opposed the legislation. Those groups said
reducing possession to an infraction would
discourage people cited for the offense from
seeking state-funded drug treatment as pro-
ure passed in 2000.
Other marijuana advocates praised the
change made by the law as they pointed to the
spike in misdemeanor marijuana arrests in the
state in recent years.
“Californians increasingly recognize that
the war on marijuana is a waste of law
enforcement resources,” said Dale Gieringer,
director of the California chapter of the
National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws and co-author of the state’s
landmark medical marijuana law.
Authorities made more than 61,000 arrests
for marijuana-related misdemeanors in 2008,
the latest year for which data exists, California
Department of Justice records show.
In the prior decade, such arrests averaged
about 48,000 until 2006, when the figure
exceeded 50,000 for the first time.

for younger children we provide a ‘get ready’ beginning in the fall of 2012, according to appropriate. The Transitional Kindergarten is

AGE
Continued from page 1
“This is a victory for kids on two fronts,”
Simitian said in a press release. “We start kids
when they’re ready to succeed in school, and
year of instruction as well.”
California currently requires new kinder-
garten students to be 5 by Dec. 2 of the school
year, one of the latest cutoff dates in the
nation. The Kindergarten Readiness Act
moves the cutoff date to Sept. 1, phasing in
the change a month at a time over three years,
Simitian’s office.
For those “young 5s” (children with fall
birthdays) whose kindergarten is delayed, the
bill creates a Transitional Kindergarten to
build a bridge between early learning and
kindergarten, using a modified kindergarten
curriculum that is age and developmentally
cost neutral (over the next 15 years), and will
be funded by the money that otherwise would
have been spent on regular kindergarten.
Some districts around the state already have
Transitional Kindergartens for students who
need more time to develop academically and
socially, according to Simitian’s office.
