BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Hundreds of politicians and friends of former
San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad filled the
Hiller Aviation Museum Friday afternoon to
mourn his sudden passing Tuesday morning.
Ahmad, 46, was taken to Sequoia Hospital in
Redwood City after calling 911 from his home,
and he was pronounced dead of a heart attack
when he arrived at the medical center.
A table stood at the rear of the museum with
dozens of letters fanned across it, each of them
expressing shock and sadness over Ahmad’s
death. A picture of Ahmad was also on the table
with three-can pyramids of Coke Zero on either
side of it. “His favorite drink was Coke Zero
and Starbucks coffee,” said Eli Kouichi
Shirayanagi, who worked alongside Ahmad.
Other attendees shared humorous anecdotes
about Ahmad. His friend Noman, whose child
Ahmad was the godfather of, had the audience
laughing over common phrases Ahmad was
known to say. According to Noman, the phrases
included, “Salam, sir,” “We have the technolo-
gy,” “Hey toots,” “Hiya stud,” “Welcome to the
ozone,” and, “Go Gators.”
“We love him. We miss him, and we know
he’s with God saying, ‘Salam, sir,’ and ‘Go
Gators,’” Noman said.
A private service was held Wednesday in
Belmont. His family requests donations be
made in his memory to the National Youth
Science Foundation (www.nysf.org) to support
its National Youth Science Camp, which he
attended as a high school student.

department, said Tony Perez, the state’s
deputy director for park operations. There are
almost 2,300 full-time positions in the state
parks and about 500 of them are open.
“We regret closing any park,” Coleman said
in a prepared statement, “but with the pro-
posed budget reductions over the next two
years, we can no longer afford to operate all
parks within the system.” The state will start
seeking partnerships with local governments
and nonprofits that could keep some of the
parks open, she said.
The cuts are the result of a bill Brown
signed into law in March that slices $11 mil-
lion from the parks budget in the fiscal year
that begins July 1 and $22 million the next fis-
cal year. That trims the system’s 2012-2013
budget from the state general fund to $99 mil-
lion.

governor will release the full plan Monday.
Administration spokesman Gil Duran said
Friday the move will save $1.2 million a year,
but that the cut was also symbolic.
Six of the board’s seven members are for-
mer lawmakers. They each make $128,109 a
year, even though the board meets once —
and occasionally twice — a month.
Duran said it did not seem efficient for the
state to have such a board at a time when deep
cuts are being made to services for the poor,
elderly and disabled, and cuts to schools and
public safety are being considered.
“Although state revenues have improved
because of the underlying strength of
California’s business climate, we’re not out of
the woods yet — not even close. Cutbacks in
boards, commissions and other state services
will continue as we work towards a truly bal-
anced budget,” Brown told the Associated
Press in a statement.

due to loss in overall revenue. At the
time, businesses came together to save the free service at
least temporarily. On Monday, the council will consider a
request to give a smaller contribution to the service ranging
from $10,000 to $25,000, according to a staff report by
Public Works Director Syed Murtuza. The request is made
in hopes of offsetting higher gas prices. A $10,000 donation
would allow service to continue as it is — six days a week,
excluding Sundays, from 11:30 a.m. to 8:18 p.m. serving six
hotels. Last year, the trolley averaged 85 boardings per day.
A $25,000 contribution could allow for the expansion of
hours.
At the same meeting, the council will get an update on the

Judge: Suspect in plane fight must stay in jail
By Julia Cheever
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A Yemeni man accused of trying to
storm the cockpit of a San Francisco-
bound flight on Sunday was ordered by a
federal magistrate Friday to be held in
custody without bail.
U.S. Magistrate James Larson, at a
hearing in San Francisco, said facts
alleged by federal prosecutors indicated
that Rageh al-Murisi, 28, is both a flight
risk and a danger to the community.
“There is no doubt that the facts raised
by the government raise very serious
concerns,” Larson said.
Assistant Federal Public Defender
Elizabeth Falk said al-Murisi, a former
math teacher in
Yemen, appears to be
suffering from men-
tal health problems.
She asked to have
him released to the
care of relatives in
Vallejo while he gets
treatment.
Rageh al-Murisi “We just want to
get him the best
treatment we can as fast as we can,” she
told Larson.
But Larson, referring to al-Murisi’s
conduct on the American Airlines flight,
said, “Don’t you agree it’s dangerous
enough even if it’s not related to any
group?”
Larson said Falk could seek to renew
her request for bail after al-Murisi
receives a mental health evaluation.
In the meantime, the no-bail order
remains in effect while al-Murisi awaits
a not-yet-scheduled trial on a federal
charge of interfering with a flight crew.
The charge carries a sentence of up to 20
year in prison upon conviction.
Larson said a confidential report pre-
pared by court pretrial services staff
showed that al-Murisi had been experi-
encing hallucinations — “hearing voic-
es, seeing things that were not there” —
in recent weeks.
“These hallucinations increased in
intensity in the last one to two months,”
Larson said.

San Carlos vice
mayor arrested for DUI
San Carlos Vice Mayor Andy Klein was
arrested early Thursday morning for driving
under the influence, two days after the unex-
pected death of Mayor Omar Ahmad.
Klein was arrested by the California Highway
Patrol in the early morning hours Thursday on
Edgewood Road near Interstate 280, he said. He
said he had pulled over to answer a cellphone
call around midnight when an officer
approached thinking Klein was having car trou-
ble. The officer thought he smelled alcohol on
Klein’s breath, he said. CHP was called to the
scene at which time a field sobriety test and
breathalyzer were administered, he said. Klein
blew a .08 and also gave a blood sample, he said.

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

Spillway to open,flooding Cajun country
By Mary Foster and Holobrook Mohr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE PROVIDENCE, La. — In an ago-
nizing trade-off, Army engineers said they
will open a key spillway along the bulging
Mississippi River as early as Saturday and
inundate thousands of homes and farms in
parts of Louisiana’s Cajun country to avert a
potentially bigger disaster in Baton Rouge and
New Orleans.
About 25,000 people and 11,000 structures
could be in harm’s way when the gates on the
Morganza spillway are unlocked for the first
time in 38 years.
“Protecting lives is the No. 1 priority,”
Army Corps of Engineers Maj. Gen. Michael
Walsh said during a flyover of Mississippi
flooding, before the decision was made to
open the spillway.
The opening will release a torrent that could
submerge about 3,000 square miles under as
much as 25 feet of water in some areas but
take the pressure off the downstream levees
protecting New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the
numerous oil refineries and chemical plants
along the lower reaches of the Mississippi.
Engineers feared that weeks of pressure on
the levees could cause them to fail, swamping
New Orleans under as much as 20 feet of
water in a disaster that would have been much
worse than Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Instead, the water will flow 20 miles south
into the Atchafalaya Basin. From there it will
Tea party godfather Ron Paul running for president
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Rep. Ron Paul
announced Friday that he will run for the
GOP nomination for president in 2012,
the third attempt for the man known on
Capitol Hill as “Dr. No” for his enthusi-
asm for bashing runaway spending and
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:

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.

funeral matters or want to make pre-

Obituary
James Franklin Stephens
Resident of Foster City, Oct. 7, 1927 – May 9, 2011
A small posted note still sticks against the wall adjacent
to the Foster City home office desk of Jim Stephens. It
reads: “To hell with cigarettes. 9-26-68.”
Jim never smoked again which demonstrated his keen
will power and the innocuous reminder displayed exactly
how he went about his business: quietly, efficiently with
little attention or fanfare.
It’s how he left this earth as well. Bedridden most of the
last decade due to a fall from a roof while cleaning gutters,
Jim died peacefully of natural causes on May 9 among family and the attentive care of
Hospice and staff at the Five Star Care Home in Redwood Shores.
In a comatose state, Jim showed his will for life more than a week longer than expected.
Then, in his typical humble, thoughtful, graceful style, he took a final breath while family had
shortly left the room. He wouldn’t want them to endure the drama or grief.
Jim, a 45-year resident and community leader of Foster City, was 83.
“Jim never sought the limelight but was dependable, trustworthy and a strong leader
in all endeavors,” said Roger Chinn, a five-term Foster City Major. “He was a personable,
multi-talented man with great conviction. He will be missed.”
Jim served in every capacity for the Lions Club of Foster City since 1968 including
President in 1979 and was District Cabinet Secretary under Chinn in 1983-84.
Beyond selfless community service, he was well known for his quick wit and public
speaking, often leading roasts at installation dinners.
“His wit was wry and dry,” Chinn said. “Second to none.”
Born in Kansas City, Jim was a 1945 graduate of Huntington Park (Calif.) High School
and earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Iowa. He was a member of Sigma
Nu fraternity and served as a Corporal in the U.S. Army before embarking on a 30-year
career as a systems analyst for the Pacific Bell/AT&T Phone Company. Jim was also a
longtime member of the Telephone Company Pioneers.
Though his duty to family, community and country was devout, his vast talents in music,
photography, writing, humor and magic made him a magnetic popular figure to all ages. There
seemed no skill he couldn’t master. He was warm, caring and generous.
He is survived by his devoted, loving wife of 45 years Katie Stephens, adoring sister
Patricia, grateful children Cally of Santa Barbara, Woode of Oakley and Mitch of Antioch,
along with grandchildren Corinne, Dylan and Sofia and great grandchild Curtis (CJ). He
was preceded in death by his father Jasper, mother Fern, stepfather Andy and stepmother
Margaret. He received special care later in life from Conrad, Linda, Buddy and Mercy,
among others.
Friends and loved ones are invited to a Celebration of Jim’s Life on Sunday, June 12 from
2-6 p.m. at the Foster City Recreation Center, 650 Shell Blvd.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Lions Club of Foster City.

Editor,
This week, California’s non-partisan
legislative analyst released a scathing
report criticizing the California High-
Speed-Rail Authority. The LA conclud-
ed that the high-speed rail project
should be terminated, for now, along
with CHSRA’s 610 consultant contracts,
because of CHSRA’s inadequate man-
agement, 57 percent in escalating con-
struction costs and resultant $100 bil-
lion-plus price tag, faulty ridership pro-
jections and business plan and federal

take money from other government
needs, like education, water infrastruc-
ture, social services, etc.
Coincidentally, this week, the

plained that California’s budget prob-

Words of wisdom on war
Editor,
Bertrand Russell, often considered
among Britain’s leading philosophers
and a recipient of the Nobel Prize for
literature, felt he had to oppose World
War II at the war’s outset. One of the
things that makes me respect him so
much is that he was so honest about
talking about the conflict in his own
feelings. Describing himself at that peri-
od, he said that, while he opposed war,
“I desired the defeat of Germany as
much as any retired colonel, and love of
England is very nearly the strongest
emotion I possess.”

How can a leader say this in one
breath, then affirmatively join with a
murderous, anti-Israel organization that
praised Osama bin Laden as “an Arab
holy warrior” and asked “God to offer
him mercy with the true believers and
the martyrs”?
This is the definition of two-faced.
And there is no reason to believe Abbas
has the power to deliver on his anti-ter-
ror edict. Not with Hamas in complete
control in Gaza and launching rockets
into Israel as it sees fit.
What’s clear is that, with Hamas in
the picture, Israel’s hopes of finding a
reliable peace partner are dimmer than
they’ve been for a long time.

Were that to happen, it is hard to see

Indeed, there were rumors — robustly
denied — that Greece was considering
withdrawal from the single currency to
allow it to devalue its way out of trou-
ble. That this was even mooted is sig-
nificant; it reveals just how nervous the
markets are. In reality, it is Germany
that will decide Greece’s fate. Germany
announced the best export performance
in its history, yet it continues to see its
exemplary economic discipline being

Greece. At what point will the German

Yet, when I think about the wars

Why the chickens
won’t cross the aisle
O
f course, today, our Congress is playing the game of
“chicken.” What can be extorted by maneuvering and
fear and who will blink first?
The first time in recent history that the game of chicken was
played was by Reagan. He cut taxes, especially from the rich,
to force the Democrats to cut
social programs. Of course,
they wouldn’t budge, so the
deficit began to grow and he
hurriedly needed to raise taxes
and still left history’s greatest
deficit to that date to pass on to
following administrations.
Clinton’s most important
legacy is that he cleaned up
those deficits and left a hefty
budget surplus. Until
Bush/Cheney began the cycle
again with tax cuts for the rich
and unfunded wars that left a
greater deficit than even
Reagan to the next administra-
tion.
First, we need to realize the United States is not broke. Far
from it! There are trillions of dollars out there, some two and
half trillions held in the treasuries of large business, alone, and
not being, as yet, invested in creating news businesses and
jobs.
These large deficits have arisen, again, because we have not
been sufficiently funding our vast, institutional, social, educa-
tional and military commitments. And, why not? Because our
main sources of revenue are taxes. And, as long as the
Republicans are successful in holding those back, cutting
them off and reducing the taxes upon the wealthy and large
business and corporate entities, again, the deficits will grow.
To accomplish reduction, we need to reduce our national
social and military commitments, squeeze out waste and
duplication in government and raise taxes, or just won’t make
it.
Again, the problem has become exacerbated by the vast gap
in political philosophies. Republicans talk about incentives for
growth and largely ignore the disadvantaged. And the
Democrats, since Franklin Roosevelt and the Great
Depression, have been obsessed about economic security.
At this time, there has been almost no talk about compro-
mising and balancing the two for the sake of our nation. The
Republicans are determined to beat back every social program
the Democrats cherish and blast away any programs and regu-
lations that impede the laissez-faire accumulation of wealth.
And the Democrats have been building barricades against that
onslaught to protect their view of the government’s responsi-
bility to its citizens.
Which is right? Both, actually. We need to continue to grow
economically, but at the same time, if we are, truly, a Judeo-
Christian nation, as the religious right reminds us regularly,
we need to provide for the young, the aged, the weak and the
ill among us. And that is the beef I have with those, only, eco-
nomically driven legislators. They appeared to be utterly indif-
ferent to the plight of the health care disadvantaged, pushing
that to the back burner, until U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s “A
Roadmap for America’s Future” emerged.
It seemed to be a somewhat rational approach to the prob-
lem, but so complicated and threw such a burden of decision
making upon an unprepared citizenry, especially the elderly, I
wondered how he would ever be able to sell it. And, of course,
after being passed by the Republican majority in the House, it
aroused so much fear and strong reaction, particularly among
the people on Medicare, that it is staying on the back burner
by the House leadership.
The problems are real. No question. The important thing for
our national interest is for both sides of the aisles and the
administration to attack them head on. But, do you know why
that is unlikely to happen? Because of the upcoming 2012
election. No party out of power would willingly permit a pre-
sumed victory for the incumbents. Damn the public! Let’s
play “chicken” until we’re in power. This time, it won’t wash
because the problems are so immediate and critical.
If they had the choice of only one, which department of
government, the House, the Senate or the presidency? The
presidency and his administration, of course. From there, one
has control of most of the agencies and is able to create regu-

How do we get political leaders to come up with compro-
mises and balance? Not by enduring partisanships for certain.
Not by standing for special interests to call the shots, especial-

curbing personal selfishness, backing up from our obsessions
with entertainment and sports and direct action to remind the
legislators this is still a government for all of the people.
Are we up to that? I doubt it.

Stock market falls
By Matthew Craft
and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Since when does the
stock market take its cues from the mar-
ket for silver, oil and pork bellies? When
it’s really the dollar that’s driving the
action.
The stock market rally, which began in
August, relied on stronger earnings, rising
commodity prices and a weak dollar, said
Andrew Wilkinson, senior market analyst
at Interactive Brokers. But prices for com-
modities have dropped by 10 percent this
month, and swung wildly over the past
week. Oil, for example, was nearly $114 a
barrel at the end of April. On Tuesday oil
settled at $104, fell, rose and fell again, to
close at $99.65 on Friday.
Falling commodity prices are widely
blamed for driving down stocks. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 index has lost 1.9
percent so far in May. Other indexes are
down more than 1.5 percent for the month.
It’s not simply a case of investors selling
because they believe declining oil prices
are a sign that the economy is losing
strength. Rather, since commodities are
mainly traded in dollars, it’s the dollar’s
recent rise that is largely responsible for
pushing down commodity prices. If the
dollar gains strength against other curren-
Economists: Inflation a less serious threat
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — After weeks of
pain at the gas pump and the grocery
store, the worst appears to be over.
Oil prices have fallen, with gas soon to
follow. Demand for farm commodities,
like the corn used in everything from
cereal to soda, has dropped. And busi-
nesses remain slow to pass along higher
costs because customers aren’t getting
raises and might walk away.
Inflation isn’t much of a worry for
economists these days.
“I think the bulk of the big price
increases are over,” said Gus Faucher, an
economist at Moody’s Analytics.
Lower prices — or at least a break in
their steady rise — will come as a big
relief. Consumer prices rose 3.2 percent

Yahoo shares sink on worries about Alibaba stake
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc.’s
prized investment in Chinese Internet
company Alibaba Group has abruptly
turned into a stock market millstone.
The weight drove down Yahoo’s stock
by 62 cents, or 3.6 percent, to close
Friday at $16.55. It marked the third
straight session that the stock has fallen
because of Alibaba worries. The sell-off
has reduced Yahoo’s market value by
about $2.5 billion, or nearly 11 percent.
Gap to open stores
in Serbia and Ukraine
SAN FRANCISCO — Gap plans to
open stores in Serbia and Ukraine later
this year, broadening the clothing
chain’s reach in Eastern Europe.
The retailer said Friday that it signed
new deals with existing franchise part-
ners that will put Gap stores in Belgrade
and Kiev. The Kiev store is expected to
open next month, while no specific
opening date has been set for the
Belgrade store.
Stephen Sunnucks, the company’s
international president, said in a state-
Wall Street
cies, it takes fewer dollars to buy the same
barrel of oil.
“Suddenly, the dollar is no longer the
whipping boy,” Wilkinson said. “And if
the dollar is no longer the whipping boy,
you can no longer count on a commodity-
driven rebound to push up the stock mar-
ket.”
Worries over Europe pushed the dollar
up nearly 1 percent on Friday and erased
the week’s gains in the stock market.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
100.17 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at
12,595.75. The S&P 500 fell 10.88, or 0.8
percent, to 1,337.77. The Nasdaq lost
34.57, or 1.2 percent, to 2,828.47. The
slide turned the Dow and S&P lower for
the week.
Financial stocks fared the worst in the
past week, followed by material and ener-
gy companies. Both Bank of America
Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
dropped 2 percent on Friday.
Companies in the energy sector fell the
most in May. Exxon Mobil Corp. lost 8
percent so far this month.
The Dow fell 0.3 percent over the week
and 1.7 percent for the month. The
Nasdaq was flat for the week and is down
1.6 percent for the month.
since October 2008. Higher food and gas
prices drove the gains.
Excluding those two categories, prices
rose 0.2 percent in April. They rose 1.3
percent over the past year, below what
the Federal Reserve considers healthy.
Economists study this figure, known as
core inflation, because food and energy
prices are volatile.
Some inflation can be healthy for the
economy because it encourages people
to spend money and invest rather than
sitting on their cash. More spending
drives corporate growth, which makes
businesses more likely to hire people.
Inflation was a much bigger concern
in March. Oil prices were rising steadily
because of the unrest in the Middle East.
Some feared gas could reach $5 a gallon,
leaving Americans much less money to
spend on cars, appliances and vacations.
That kind of drop in spending would

The reason: a surprise disclosure by
Yahoo on Tuesday that Alibaba had spun
off its online payment service, Alipay.
The split caused investors to re-evalu-
ate the value of Yahoo’s 43 percent stake
in Alibaba, one of China’s most power-
ful Internet companies. To make matters
worse, public bickering over the timing
and handling of the Alipay spinoff has
brought the rocky relationship between
Yahoo and Alibaba into sharper focus.
The dispute adds to the uncertainty
about whether Yahoo will be able to
make as much money from its Alibaba
investment as analysts once thought.

Playoff chances enhanced

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hillsdale’s Eddie Pagano couldn’t have picked a
better time to pitch his best game of the season.
In the final game on his home field of the regu-
lar season, in front of a full house, with his arch-
rival in the opposing dugout and with a berth in the
Central Coast Section playoffs on the line, the
right-hander hurled his first complete-game
shutout of the season. In seven innings of work,
Pagano allowed five hits and no walks, leading the
Knights to a 4-0 victory over Aragon.
There wasn’t anything pretty about the Hillsdale
offense on Friday in route to scoring those four
runs. But that didn’t matter because Pagano
pitched beautifully.
“What a way for Eddie to end his career at
home,” said Hillsdale manager Neal Donohoe. “It
was a lot of fun to see him do that. Both pitching
performances this week, no runs in two games, a
lot of strikes, not many walks and the defense
stayed on their toes and made plays.”
“It was my last home game,” Pagano said, “It
just felt right. It feels great. This is like a dream
come true here. My goal all year was to beat
Aragon. And I knew home game, Senior Day, I’d
be coming out here and throwing.”
Pagano was in the zone throughout, possessing
outstanding control of a breaking ball that had
Aragon off balance the entire afternoon. With the
exception of the seventh inning, a frame where the
Dons strung together a couple of hits, Aragon
never really had any legitimate offensive threats.
Hillsdale wasn’t necessarily smacking the ball
around off of Aragon starter Trevor McNeil, either.
The Knights were shut down for the first three
innings and got a lucky bounce and some help by
the Dons defense in the fourth to push across a pair
of runs.
Armando Fajardo led off with a walk and went
to second on a single by Nick Serrata. After a
failed bunt attempt, Tyler Kelly dumped a single
into shallow right field that fell in front of a charg-
ing Aragon outfielder. On the bounce, the ball
made a sharp break to the left and rolled toward
the fence, allowing Fajardo to score rather easily,
giving Hillsdale the 1-0 lead.
Then with Scott Cecil at the dish and runners on
second and third, Donohoe called for a suicide
squeeze that failed. Serrata was tagged out
between third and home and Kelly was hung out
“It was my last home game.…
This is like a dream come
true here.My goal all
year was to beat Aragon.”
— Eddie Pagano,Hillsdale pitcher
to dry on his way back to second. But the catcher’s
throw to the bag airmailed everyone into right-
center field and Kelly got up and raced around to
give the Knights a 2-0 advantage.
“We didn’t play catch,” said Aragon manager
Lenny Souza. “It was the story of our year. Every
game we would take one aspect of the game and
just play really poorly.”
Aragon got a couple of singles in the fifth, but
left both of them stranded as Pagano recorded a
couple of strikeouts in the frame.
Hillsdale added another run in their half of the
fifth, this time in less chaotic fashion — Kody
Barden hammered an O’Neil offering over the
right-center field fence for an impressive opposite
field home run. The ball hadn’t been traveling well
the entire game because of the windy conditions at
Hillsdale, but Barden got every single ounce of the
baseball.
With the three run lead, Pagano continued to
cruise.
“I just figured I would go out there and throw
strikes,” Pagano said. “I knew that’s all I had to do.
I was able to throw my curveball for strikes when-
ever I wanted to and they were swinging and miss-
ing. My problem all year is that I haven’t been able
to get my curveball over and my fastball, they
weren’t able to time it and sit on it. It felt good.”
Not that Pagano needed it, but the Knights sup-
plied their pitcher with another run of the chaotic
variety in the sixth. Again, a mistake on the base
paths actually worked to their advantage. After
being picked off at second, Jackson Mcgowan
actually scored when the throw to third was wild.
“We didn’t base run well,” Donohoe said. “But
they didn’t make the plays when we made base
running mistakes, so that helped us out.”
The win secures a fourth-place finish for the
Knights in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
division. And at 17-9 and a loss by Terra Nova
Friday against El Camino, an at-large berth in the
CCS playoffs could to be in the cards for the NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
Knights. Hillsdale’s Eddie Pagano pitched a complete-game shutout in the Knights’4-0 win over Aragon.

Local golfers fill CCS final Ward center

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County golfers had a
strong showing at Central Coast
Section qualifying this week as 14
golfers from seven high schools
advanced to next week’s CCS cham-
pionship round.
The biggest surprise was Mills’
Andrew Leung stunning everybody
by shooting a 2-under 69 to lead the
second day’s group of qualifying.
Because of the sheer number of
golfers, CCS holds two days of qual-
ifying to split up the players, with the
top scores advancing to the final
round Tuesday at Rancho Cañada
Golf Course in Carmel.
“Twelve years I’ve been doing this
(coaching golf at Mills) and I’ve sent
someone down there (to CCS) six
times and every time we’ve been
eliminated in the first round,” said
Mills coach Erik Anderson. “[Leung]
was probably the best guy I’ve had
go there. I thought maybe he would
be around the cut line.
“[The PAL has] had a good little run in the postseason.
… Our guys showed up for postseason.”
— Steve Mills,Burlingame golf coach
“I’ve never been to day 2. [Leung]
could make NorCals (the Northern
California tournament).”
As a coach with a player in CCS,
they have to serve as marshals on the
various holes. Anderson was
assigned the fourth hole and when
Leung came through, he was 1-over.
He said Leung was 1-under with
three holes to play and birdied one of
the final holes. Anderson knew the 69
would be good enough to advance.
He wasn’t sure it was good enough to
be low medalist on the day.
Tournament play, however, is noth-
ing new to Leung.
“He’s one of those kids who plays
in a lot of tournaments. He’s not just
a high school golfer,” Anderson said.
“In our last PAL round … he shot 2-
under, so I knew he’s definitely capa-
ble (of going low).”
Leung was not the only PAL golfer
to qualify, however. He will be joined
by Burlingame’s Tommy Economou,
who fired a 71, and Jeff Carney, who
finished with a 74.
“That was [Economou’s] best
score in four years playing there,”
Burlingame coach Steve Mills said.
There were a couple of surprises,
however. Terra Nova’s Dan
Robertson qualified on the first day
with a 76, as did Hillsdale’s Jeremy
Sanchez, who shot the same score.
“I’ve never seen Terra Nova or
Hillsdale kids down here (at CCS on
the second day) in my eight years
here,” Mills said. “[The PAL has] had
a good little run in the postseason.
We, as coaches, thought the level of
play (in the PAL) was dipping down.
Our guys showed up for postseason.”

Giants’win streak comes to screeching halt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Madison Bumgarner is still
looking for his first win.
He pitched well and retired his final 11 bat-
ters on Friday. Against Ryan Dempster, it
wasn’t enough for the Giants left-hander.
Dempster struck out a season-high 11 and
snapped a six-game Wrigley Field losing
streak to help the Chicago Cubs beat the San
Francisco Giants 11-4 Friday.
“I was starting to get in a pretty good
rhythm,” Bumgarner said. “Early on I didn’t
feel like I had that good command, so I tried
to work around it and be aggressive.”
Dempster (2-4) allowed two runs and six
hits in six innings and the Cubs ended San
Francisco’s six-game winning streak.
Sharks look to grow from last year’s playoffs
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — As soon as the San Jose
Sharks were swept out of the Western
Conference final a year ago, coach Todd
McLellan’s message was the importance of
growth.
After an up-and-down regular season, a few
tough moments in the first round of the playoffs
against Los Angeles and the survival after a near
collapse in the second round against Detroit, the
Sharks are back in the conference final for the
second straight year.
Starting on Sunday in Vancouver when they
open the series against the Canucks, they will
get the chance to take that next step as they try
to make it to the Stanley Cup final for the first
time in franchise history.
“You’ll remember we were all talking about
getting to that series against Chicago and if we
didn’t do anything with it this year we would
have lost a growth opportunity,” McLellan said.

an impressive second-half turnaround saved the

There was the four-goal deficit the team need-

first round and two home losses to the Kings.
Then came the epic seven-game series with

Cody Ross hit a two-run homer in the eighth

The Game 7 victory was noteworthy for

Kidd’s championship window closing
By Jaime Aron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Jason Kidd walked
off the court slowly, his blue long-
sleeved T-shirt, white jersey and gray
warmup pants soaked in sweat. As if
an intense scrimmage wasn’t enough,
he’d also just pushed himself through
a series of 3-pointers and free throws
— two series, actually, going through
his around-the-arc, to-the-stripe rou-
tine on each end of the court.
By the time Kidd finished, he was
the last player headed to the locker
room.
As much as the 38-year-old needs
to rest up for the Western Conference
finals, Kidd also knows this could be
his last chance to finally win an NBA

most of it.
“That’s what you play the game for,

favorites to come out of the West, with
home-court advantage, fresh legs and
a wealth of experience over either
Oklahoma City or Memphis.
Either way, Kidd will face a young,
speedy point guard. After two rounds
of picking on guys his own age,
Portland’s Andre Miller and Derek
Fisher of the Lakers, Kidd will be
chasing either 22-year-old Russell
Westbrook of Oklahoma City or 23-
year-old Mike Conley of Memphis.
“No matter what age you are, you
have to make the right play at the right
time, and Westbrook and Conley can
do that,” Kidd said. “They wouldn’t
be still playing if they couldn’t.
Whoever is guarding them is going to
have a challenge.”
In other words, Kidd may be off the
hook. He will be part of the group
asked to slow those guys, but not their
primary defender.
Kidd can still play great defense —
he guarded Kobe Bryant in crunch
time during the last round. It’s just
that keeping pace with those guys is
tough at his age, as exposed by Tony
Parker in losing a first-round series to
the Spurs last season.
Kidd isn’t the oldest player left in
the postseason, or even second-oldest.
the world.
The favorite?
“Whoever plays the best on the
weekend,” Glover said, as good of an
answer as anyone can provide.
Toms quite trying to be perfect on a
course that looks like it demands no
less. It led to nearly perfect play over
two days at The Players, and pole
position going into the weekend.
Toms doesn’t have a great record at
TPC Sawgrass. In 18 previous
attempts, he has missed the cut 10
times and only once has finished in
the top 10. He just couldn’t figure out
the right angle into the greens, and
always believed it had to be just right.
“It seemed early in my career
around here I was always trying to
play the perfect shot,” he said. “I
think the last few years, I’ve just
learned to try to play my game, my
shot ... rather than trying to hit the
perfect shot on the golf course.”
Weekend • May 14-15, 2011
Chicago’s Kurt Thomas has five
months on him, and Miami’s Juwan
Howard is one month older. But those
guys are role players. They average a
combined 16.1 minutes per game this
postseason; Kidd averages 33.6 and
plays point guard.
He’s cheated time by knowing what
to do and when to do it. Mavs coach
Rick Carlisle called Kidd a basketball
“savant,” putting his basketball IQ in
the realm of Larry Bird, Michael
Jordan, Magic Johnson and John
Stockton.
Here’s how Carlisle described
Kidd’s importance to the Mavericks:
“There’s all the things he does on the
court skill-wise — running the break,
shooting the ball, finding people,
playing defense, getting deflections,
causing havoc defensively — and
then there are the intangible things,
the leadership, the experience, how
that translates into an advantage for
our team and how he keeps guys
engaged and ready to play.
“If somebody makes a mistake and
is dropping their head a little bit, he
makes sure they come right out of it.
As we’ve seen in these playoffs and
other years, it’s a 48-minute game.
You’ve got to play the whole 48, and
Watney did his best to catch him.
He started the back nine with back-
to-back birdies, then gave himself a
chance on every hole. Watney missed
four birdie putts inside 12 feet over
his last seven holes, settling for 71
after opening with a 64. His emotions
showed what this place can do for
you.
“I’m not exactly happy,” Watney
said, before ending his remarks with,
“I’m excited where I am.”
Toms was at 10-under 134, leading
a quality list of contenders at the
biggest event of golf’s strongest tour.
Looming particularly large was
Donald, the Englishman who can go
to No. 1 in the world with a victory.
He has only been out of the top 10
once since last September. Perhaps
even more impressive this week is
that Donald hasn’t made a bogey all
week.
“I think it’s an accomplishment
13
he’s one of the guys that makes sure
our guys do.”
Dallas is 8-2 this postseason and
riding a six-game winning streak, the
longest in franchise history, and com-
ing off a sweep of the two-time cham-
pion Lakers. While some fear their
long layoff will slow their momen-
tum, Kidd isn’t among them.
“If you get rest this time of year,
you have to take advantage of that,” he
said. “That’s the way we’ve got to
look at it. We did our job to get to four
wins in the last series and now we got
a little break.”
Kidd took a little break late in the
regular season, using the time to
change his grip on shooting 3-point-
ers, spreading his fingers apart like
Dirk Nowitzki does. He made 6 of 10
in Game 1 of the playoffs, but hasn’t
been in that kind of groove since.
His touch was back in his post-
practice drills Thursday and Friday.
The challenge will be doing it when
the arena is full and the defense is
chasing him.
“The game of basketball is all about
rhythm and pace,” Kidd said. “Right
now, we’re in a rhythm and hopefully
we can continue that in the next
series.”
anywhere,” Donald said. “This is a
tough course. There is a lot of danger
lurking. It is pretty easy to slip up
around this course. So it’s pretty sat-
isfying to go without making a bogey
36 holes.
Four major champions are among
the top 10 — one of them is Ryder
Cup captain Davis Love III, a two-
time winner of The Players who was
three back going into the weekend.
All but Toms among the top six have
won tournaments in the last year.
Even with Tiger Woods long
departed after withdrawing Thursday,
there was no shortage of drama.
The cut came at even-par 144, and
even that featured some tough
moments. Ernie Els, inducted into the
World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday,
was in front of the par-5 ninth in two,
flubbed a chip and missed a 4-foot
putt to make bogey and miss the cut
by one.

‘Everything Must Go’subtly moving
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Will Ferrell has deviated from his comic
persona from time to time, giving more dra-
matic performances in movies like “Stranger
Than Fiction.” But no film has asked him to
delve into the kinds of deep, dark places
required of him in “Everything Must Go.”
And he more than rises to the challenge.
Ferrell’s stripped-down presence is a thing
of elegant melancholy — even when his char-
acter is at his ugliest and worst. He never
seems to judge the man he’s playing, Nick

W
ith the school year winding down
and senioritis finally setting in,
I’ve recently found the time to
add another show to my
increasingly long and
increasingly distracting
Tivo queue — along with
“The Daily Show,” “Law
and Order” and “The Big
Bang Theory,” I’ve set
aside a slot for that most
famous of quiz shows,
“Jeopardy!” I’ve always
enjoyed the show’s answer-and-question for-
mat (not to mention the soothing presence of
my favorite Canadian, Alex Trebek). The
breadth and depth of subjects make for inter-
esting competitions, whether an episode has
me completely stumped or a lackluster field
finds me shouting answers from my couch.
For the last two weeks, “Jeopardy!” has
been engaged in the inaugural round of a new
specialty — the Teacher Tournament, which
will hopefully join the ranks of their old
standbys with college students and celebri-
ties. The contestants these past weeks
(including local middle school teacher Daniel
Tinkham) have certainly been impressive,
with what seem like higher than usual scores
even for the teachers who haven’t progressed
beyond the first round, even in categories that
usually stump players. In this day and age,

REBORNING. A troubled young
doll maker is brought to the edge of
psychosis by her growing belief that
one of her customers is the mother
who abandoned her at birth. As the
customer’s specifications regarding
the replica of her dead baby
increase in particularity, and the
question of is-she-or-isn’t-she plays
out, the audience is drawn into an
intense examination of the ways in
which individuals cope with life-
altering loss and grief. 85 minutes
without intermission. Written by
Zayd Dohrn. Directed by Josh
Costello.
CAST:
Lauren English as Kelly;
Alexander Alioto as Daizy; and
Lorri Holt as Emily.

AN ASIDE:
SF Playhouse Artistic Director
Bill English said, “Reborning takes
us into the heart of healing. From
some of the worst kinds of loss:
being abandoned at birth; losing an
infant. We wonder sometimes from
the outside how people ever get
through these shattering kinds of
losses. And yet we know from our
own suffering that we do get
through it. I think we often suffer a
lack of empathy for the paths that
people take towards healing, “Why
won’t they just get over it?” “Why
would anyone be into such a strange
practice?” And yet we learn through
Reborning that each person’s road
to healing emotional pain is unique
and valid, that we humans have over
the centuries found many symbolic
ways to work through our suffering,
not the least of which is the theatre.
When I think of the times I have
suffered and watched friends and
loved ones suffer with no method to
exorcize their grief, I long for tools
as elegant and efficient as the dolls
of Kelly and Emily.”

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?:
Wikipedia notes: A reborn doll
resembles a human baby with as
much realism as possible. The
process of creating a reborn doll is
referred to as reborning and the doll
artists are referred to as reborners.
Reborn dolls are also known as liv-
ing dolls or unliving dolls. Some
consumers of reborn dolls use them
to replace a child they once lost, or
a child that has grown up. These
dolls are usually taken seriously and
are cared for like an infant. Critics
debate whether reborn dolls are
harmful, or whether these dolls can
help in the grieving process and
relaxation.

Meanwhile, every day this week, as
I’ve driven into the parking lot at San
Mateo High School, I’ve passed my
teachers standing out on the curb with
bright signs protesting cuts in education
and teacher layoffs. As I was writing
this column, I received an email on the
subject, explaining what the teachers
hoped to accomplish with their demon-
strations and highlighting the problems
with the lack of support for the
California education system.
California White As anybody not living under a rock is
Peaches bound to know, to say that our state
schools are going through a rough patch
$1.99 lb. is an understatement. According to a
bulletin from the San Mateo High
School PTO, in just the past three years,
the state education system has lost near-
ly a third of its funding and 30,000
teachers; even more cuts are coming
down the line, including a 10 percent to
15 percent reduction in funding for
preschools. The state universities,
already facing financial problems and
enrollment issues, are further cutting
classes and Berkeley and UCLA in par-
ticular have turned to accepting more
out-of-state students to raise revenue at
the expense of slots for in-state students.
This confluence of teachers on
“Jeopardy!” and teachers in jeopardy
provides for an interesting perspective
on the issues facing our education sys-
tem. If the tournament has accomplished
anything (other than remind me that the
Titanic was carrying mail and that ura-
nium, not plutonium, is the heaviest nat-
urally occurring element), it has given
our educators a chance to demonstrate
their enthusiasm for knowledge — and
for their students. While I’m not sug-
gesting that we stop evaluating and con-
tinually seeking to improve our school
systems, I do feel that some of the com-
mon criticisms levied against public
education tend to overlook the merits of
the many dedicated teachers.
To me, there isn’t a more important
profession than teaching, nor is there
any that is more reliant on support from
not just the government but from the
community. Hard as financial times may
be for both the state and private citizens,
cutting even further into the education
system is simply counterintuitive. After
all, clichéd though it may be, education
really is an investment in the future,
with all the potential benefits that phrase
connotes; keeping our teachers out of
jeopardy would certainly be a good step
to take going forward.

garten through high school have had cuts of $18
billion, or $3,051 per student, over the last three
years. An all-cuts budget — or an additional
$4.1 billion cut to schools — would mean $695
less per student in the year ahead, according to
the Legislative Analyst’s Office.
As a result, class sizes continue to grow; jobs
are lost; programs like art, music and sports are
eliminated; technology and textbooks take a
back seat; and morale is low.
“Our schools are our future. If we lose fund-
ing, that will affect our future,” said Carlmont
senior Lisa Hendryx who donned a shirt that
said “I heart my teachers.”
In the Sequoia Union High School District,
next year means working with $5 million less.
This year, Sequoia has a budget calling for
$101.2 million in revenue and $104.5 million in
expenditures — a $3.4 million deficit, accord-
ing to a staff report. A portion of the deficit, $1.8
million, is offset by one-time federal money.
Cuts include reducing five administrative vice
principal positions for an $800,000 savings,
instituting two furlough days for a $580,000
savings, reducing counseling services by 4.6
full-time equivalent positions and savings from
proposals such as closing pools during colder
months, according to a staff report.
Reducing $1.07 million in funding divided
among the schools — $70,000 at Redwood
High and $250,000 at each of the others — is
also part of the plan. In total, the changes will
result in a loss of more than 30 employees, said
Superintendent James Lianides.
Two furlough days comes with an equal pay
cut to employees, said Carolyn Wade, a veteran

Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco.
The sixth-grade teacher at San Juan School in
San Juan Bautista, where K-3 classes now have
32 students, used to be a PE teacher before the
district cut physical education, art and music
programs.
“We’ve taken our cuts. It’s time to look for
other solutions,” she said.
Friday evening’s demonstrations marked an
end to a weeklong series of protests organized
by the California Teachers Association, the
state’s largest teachers union.
Educators are trying to pressure GOP law-
makers to support Gov. Jerry Brown’s attempt
to extend a series of temporary increases in the
sales, vehicle and income taxes. Without those,
the governor has warned of deep cuts to public
schools that could force thousands of teacher
layoffs, larger class sizes and a shorter school
year.
But Assembly Republicans countered with
their own budget proposal this week in which
they propose to spend about $2 billion from an
unanticipated $2.5 billion in tax revenues on
schools, which they say would leave them fully
funded.
Education lobbyists, however, noted that the
GOP’s budget plan would suspend a $450 mil-
lion annual payment that funds programs in
some of the state’s neediest school districts.
On Monday, Brown is scheduled to release
his updated plan to close California’s remaining
$15.4 billion deficit.
Most of the demonstrations Friday had a fes-
tive atmosphere, with musicians performing
and demonstrators blowing whistles, chanting
and playing games. Signs reading “Tax the
Rich” and “Bail out schools not banks” were
common.
More than 2,000 demonstrators clad in color-
ful T-shirts gathered at the Capitol, which has
been the focal point of the week’s protests. They
were ringed by a strong law enforcement pres-
ence a day after 27 teachers were arrested for
refusing to leave the inside of the Capitol, a mis-
demeanor. Earlier in the week, 65 people were
arrested on similar charges, although most were
not teachers.
Among those arrested Thursday night was
California Teachers Association President
David Sanchez, who told the crowd in
Sacramento that spending the night in jail was a
bonding moment for him and the other teachers.
“It is so sad that teachers have to go this far to
get the attention of lawmakers. Very sad,”
Sanchez said. “But I and my fellow colleagues,
we do not regret our decision. I do not regret
one moment of what I did and what they did.”
He led chants of “We are one,” and “Si se
puede.”
Inge Schlussler, 46, kindergarten teacher at
Edgewater Elementary School in Marysville,
was holding a sign that said “Merit Pay for
Assemblymen,” a play on the political move-
ment to hold teachers accountable for student
test scores.

“Jacqueline Guerrero has been a dream-
come-true student here at Capuchino High
School. She is the true scholar-athlete who has
shown this combination through stellar grades
and full participation and commitment in
three major sports throughout her high school
years,” said counselor Kevin Thomas.
“Not to be outshined by these in-school
activities, Jacqueline has been in leadership
and outreach roles such as the student ambas-
sador for the Millbrae Chamber of
Commerce, our school’s representative at the
honorary California Girls State Summer
Program and an officer in the a special out-
reach program to the children of Uganda. We
can only say: ‘wow and great job.’”
Guerrero began participating in sports —
basketball and volleyball — while attending
Meadows Elementary School and continued
while at Taylor Middle School. Although most
of her classmates decided to attend Mills High
School, Guerrero wanted to go to Capuchino.
The transition meant meeting many new peo-
ple. Through sports, she met new friends.
Freshman year, Guerrero joined basketball
— which she stuck with throughout her high
school career — and cross country. The latter
was to keep in shape, but Guerrero soon real-
ized running was not for her.
Sophomore year brought the opportunity to
start two new sports, literally. Guerrero joined
golf despite never having picked up a club
before.
“I’m still not the greatest,” she said, despite
keeping with the sport throughout the rest of
high school.
Guerrero had swam before but never com-
petitively until her sophomore year. Being in
the pool and having people watch was strange
at first, but Guerrero adapted. She swam most-
ly breast and freestyle, and stayed with the
sport through this year.
Along the way, Guerrero participated in
leadership and helping with on-campus efforts
to benefit the children of Uganda while work-
ing toward earning an International
Baccalaureate diploma, a two-year interna-
tionally recognized educational program for
high school students. Wanting to challenge
herself, Guerrero worked her freshman and
sophomore years to become accustomed to
the workload. Her organization helped her
stick with the rigorous program.
Guerrero has spent the past year participat-
ing in the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce’s
student ambassador program. The year-long
internship is open to Millbrae teens, two of
whom were chosen this year.
“She is energetic, motivated, right on task;
really focused in on what she wants,” said
Chamber President John Ford.
While sports have taken up a large portion
of Guerrero’s time, it’s always been for fun as
opposed to a long-term goal. Fashion, on the
other hand, would be a dream.
Guerrero took sewing classes as a young Jacqueline Guerrero

Gadhafi taunts NATO;
regime says 11 clerics killed
TRIPOLI, Libya — Taunting NATO,
Moammar Gadhafi said Friday that he is alive
despite a series of airstrikes and “in a place
where you can’t get to and kill me.” The defiant
audio recording was broadcast after the Libyan
government accused NATO of killing 11
Muslim clerics with an airstrike on a disputed
eastern oil town.
Gadhafi had appeared on state TV but not
been heard speaking since a NATO attack on his
Tripoli compound two weeks ago, which offi-
cials said killed one of his sons and three grand-
children. In a brief recording played Friday on
Libyan TV, Gadhafi said he wanted to assure
Libyans concerned about a strike this week on
his compound in Tripoli.
“I tell the coward crusaders — I live in a place
where you can’t get to and kill me,” he said. “I
live in the hearts of millions.”
He referred to a NATO airstrike on Thursday
that targeted his Bab al-Aziziya compound in
Tripoli, claiming it had killed “three innocent
journalist-civilians.”
Syrian troops fire
at protesters,killing six
BEIRUT — Syrian security forces and
snipers opened fire on thousands of protesters
Friday, killing at least six people as mass arrests
and heavy security kept crowds below previous
levels seen during the two-month uprising
against President Bashar Assad, activists said.
A leading human rights activist said three
people were killed in Homs, two in Damascus
and one in a village outside Daraa, the southern
city where the revolt began two months ago. He
asked that his name not be used for fear of gov-
ernment reprisal.
“At first they opened fire in the air, but the
people continued on their way, and then they
shot directly into the crowd,” an eyewitness said
by telephone from Homs.
He said security forces dressed in black along
with shadowy, pro-regime gunmen known as
“shabiha” were doing the shooting.

NATION/WORLD
Taliban show resolve to fight on
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — A double Taliban suicide
attack Friday that killed 66 paramilitary police
recruits represented the deadliest terrorist strike
in Pakistan since the killing of Osama bin
Laden. It sent a strong signal that militants
mean to fight on and to try to avenge the al-
Qaida leader.
The attack came as both the Pakistani and
Afghan wings of the Taliban have been carrying
out attacks to prove they remain a potent force
and bolster their profiles in case peace talks pre-
vail in Afghanistan.
U.S. and Afghan officials have said they hope
the Afghan Taliban will use bin Laden’s death
as an opportunity to break their link with al-
Qaida — an alliance the U.S. says must be sev-
ered if the insurgents want peace in
Afghanistan. But Afghan officials and Pakistani
experts say any severing of ties would not hap-
pen anytime soon, if at all.
“The Taliban want to prove that bin Laden’s
killing did not really affect them,” said
Rahimullah Yusafzai, a Taliban expert in the
Pakistani city of Peshawar who has interviewed
their reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammed
Omar.
“I don’t think anybody is talking peace at this
Obama accepts resignation of U.S.Mideast envoy
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — His two-year mission
unfulfilled, Sen. George Mitchell announced his
resignation Friday as the Obama administra-
tion’s special envoy to the Mideast at a time of
turmoil in the region and after fruitless attempts
at rekindling Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
President Barack Obama, accepting the
resignation, called Mitchell “a tireless advo-

stage,” Yusafzai said. “Everybody is wanting to
score something on the ground. I think the
spring fighting, the summer fighting will con-
tinue and it will be worse than last year.”
In claiming responsibility for Friday’s attack
in northwest Pakistan, which also wounded
about 120 people, the Taliban said it was aveng-
ing the May 2 death of bin Laden. It cited anger
at Pakistan’s military for failing to stop the uni-
lateral U.S. raid on bin Laden’s hideaway.
“The Pakistani army has failed to protect its
land,” Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for the
Pakistani Taliban, told the Associated Press in a
phone call.
In their communications, militants often try
to tap into popular sentiments in Pakistan,
where anti-Americanism is often stronger than
fears of Islamist militants. This is despite mili-
tant attacks over the last four years claiming the
lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians.
Before the Taliban claimed responsibility,
Liaqat Ali Khan, a senior police official in
cate for peace.”
In a two-paragraph letter
to Obama, Mitchell said
that he took the diplomatic
job intending to only serve
two years. “I strongly sup-

hensive peace in the Middle
East and thank you for giv-
George ing me the opportunity to

THE DAILY JOURNAL
— Rahimullah Yusafzai,a Taliban expert
Peshawar near where the attack occurred, said
the primary suspects were militants fighting
security forces in the nearby Mohmand tribal
region. The Pakistani Taliban are a loose collec-
tion of insurgent groups, and some news reports
later continued to cast doubt on the claim that
Friday’s attack was meant to avenge the killing
of bin Laden.
In Afghanistan, where bin Laden’s death has
coincided with the beginning of the spring fight-
ing season, the Taliban have launched a series of
attacks including a two-day battle in the insur-
gents’ stronghold of Kandahar in the south.
“Violence has increased because this is part
of the peace process,” said Mohammad
Masoom Stanekzai, a top adviser to Afghan
President Hamid Karzai who is active in efforts
to reconcile with the Taliban. “When you get to
the point where everybody wants to position
themselves to get the benefit of a dialogue and
discussion, then you naturally expect there will
be a lot of efforts to strengthen positions.”
tion,” Mitchell wrote.
Mitchell’s resignation comes at a critical time
for the Middle East, which is embroiled in
uprisings, and the Israeli-Palestinian peace
process, which has been moribund since last
September and is now further complicated by
an agreement between Palestinian factions to
share power.
Mitchell’s resignation appears to have been
timed to match Obama’s increased public focus
on the region.
