The two tunnels at Devils Slide will not open until late in 2012, putting the project more than a year behind schedule, according to Caltrans. The delay will also push the cost higher for the $350 million project that got under way in 2007, although Caltrans PHOTO COURTESY OF CALTRANS has yet to determine the added cost.

the end of 2012 due to tunnel soil movement, which will require more reinforcement work. Caltrans was hoping to have the project completed by the end of this year. The project was actually four weeks ahead of schedule when construction crews punched through Montara Mountain back in October. Half Moon Bay Councilman Allan Alifano is not too concerned with the delay but hopes Devils Slide can hold up another year while tunnel work is completed. The dangerous stretch of road on Highway 1 between Montara and Pacica is prone to landslides. It was closed for ve months after an April 2006 storm caused the road to slip
toward the ocean. The last major closure on Devils Slide was caused by a landslide in January 2008. When Devils Slide is closed, trafc is forced to access the coast via State Route 92, a major inconvenience for commuters, Alifano said. The tunnels will make for quicker commutes, Alifano said, although he is not convinced yet they will bring Half Moon Bay more tourists, which the town depends on to fund core services. The scope of the project includes constructing two tunnels, two bridges linking Highway 1 in Pacica to the tunnels, approaching road revisions south of the

Museum scavenger hunts ask who killed the curator
NEW YORK An assistant museum curator who questioned the authenticity of a Leonardo da Vinci has been murdered but before he died he left a code in his appointment calendar and a cryptic trail of clues connected to secrets in works of art that point to the killer. Now, would-be gumshoes must gure out what drove one of four suspects to kill him. Was it greed? Fame? Lust? Or revenge? Thats the plot of Murder at the Met, a murder-mystery scavenger hunt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York run by Watson Adventures, a private company offering a series of such games at 27 museums in seven U.S. cities. On a recent Saturday, 40 people gathered in a basement room of the museum for the whodunnit challenge. Divided into 10 teams, they received 22 questions linked to 22 works of art, directions to specic galleries and a map. They were told that the curators notes contained blanks and underlined words. Their assignment: Find the works, ll in the blanks and gure out what the underlined words refer to. Each team then headed in a different direction, crisscrossing dozens of galleries in an exhilarating and competitive two-hour hunt. (Hint: Read the wall labels to make sure youre in the right place and looking at the right piece). The winning team correctly answered the most questions, determined the motive and decoded a set of corresponding numbers that exposed the murderers name. The suspects were the chief curator who was about to announce the acquisition of the rare Leonardo; a multi-millionaire who put up a big chunk of the purchase money; the dead curators wife and an art dealer who specialized in Old Master paintings. (Sorry, no spoiler alerts here. Watson Adventures refused to allow a reporter on the hunt to keep a set of questions and answers to the mystery and extracted a promise from her not to reveal the killers name.) I really like the level of difculty, said Matt Fuhrman, 22, a college graduate from Columbus, Ohio, who took part in the Met hunt. I read the Da Vinci Code and all the Dan Brown books. It was very much like the books. His team discovered a message inscribed on the back of a sculpture of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Founder Bret Watson said the company grew from his love of art, history and writing and a fascination for nding funny and bizarre details in works of art like a gure of a saint in a stainedglass window in the museums Medieval gallery whos a dead ringer for Mick Jagger and whose name is St. Roch (pronounced like the stone). The scavenger hunt question for that work is: Which stained-glass pane looks like he Cant get no satisfaction? The hunt involving the murdered curator is tailored to a museums collection and is also offered at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Getty Center in Los Angeles, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The method for cracking the code is different at each. Other Watson Adventures hunts include Naked at the (ll in museum name). (And no, participants dont run around naked but they do track down works of art that include randy Romans, peeping Toms, bathing beauties, sultry sirens and even a god with Venus envy). These are pun-based, requiring participants to solve devious and humorous questions.

city went through in this development. He proposed organizing a history club, but had few takers. By 1975, however, after talking it up, the attitude of the people had changed and with the urging of Edna Hark, Dorothy Hynding and other well-known citizens, the Historical Society of South San Francisco, Inc., was formed. One of the many enthusiastic supporters of the history of South San Francisco, Elizabeth Lautze Ervin, developed a real passion for the history of the area. In 1924, her father had begun the rst Ford Dealership in South San Francisco, at 410 San Bruno Road (later Airport Boulevard) After raising her family of ve daughters, Elizabeth and many friends of the area started thinking about developing a history museum. As luck would have it, the area around Magnolia Grammar School (601 Grand Ave.) was being developed as a senior center and the possibility of using some space for a museum became a topic in the city. Her great desire to make the history group succeed resulted in developing a small, one-room museum in the basement of the old Magnolia Elementary School on Grand Avenue. The gang of three (Ervin, Alice Ucchelli and Eleonor Fourie) set to work faithfully spending hours of their time at the museum, cataloging new photographs and news articles that

ures to upgrade facilities. Lastly, the Burlingame Elementary School District is considering a parcel tax, revenue from which could be used for programs. The Foster City Council was the rst to put a measure on the ballot. The City Council is seeking to raise the hotel tax from 8 percent to 10 percent. Foster City ofcials opted for the measure in hopes of trimming the ongoing structural deficit, now approaching $5 million. Such a measure could generate about $300,000 annually. Raising the hotel tax is one of three measures that will go before Redwood City voters in hopes of boosting revenue. The city is proposing increasing its transit occupancy tax from 10 percent to 12 percent, which could mean an additional $640,000 annually. In addition, the city is proposing an increase to its business license tax. The business license tax rate last changed in July 1994 as part of an ordinance which called for an annual 5 percent increase over ve years. The rate is currently $37 per business plus $24 for each fulltime employee and $12 for each part-time employee. The recommended increase would change the tax to $59 per business plus $38 and $19 for each full-time and part-time employee,

LOS ANGELES The event that many feared would be the Carmageddon of epic trafc jams cruised calmly to a nish Sunday, with bridge work on the Los Angeles roadway completed nearly a full day ahead of schedule and ofcials reopening a 10-mile stretch of the busy freeway. Drivers honked their horns and waved from car windows as trafc started moving in all 10 lanes of Interstate 405 just after noon for the rst time since being shut down at midnight Friday. There were no major problems since the freeway was closed, and the biggest worry of all that the work would spill into the areas always rough Monday morning commute, was set aside. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa praised contractors for working so quickly and thanked city residents for heeding calls to stay off the roads. He also gave credit to news outlets for spreading word about the closure, which had been planned to last for 53 hours. We couldnt have done this without the cooperation of this city, Villaraigosa said. Crews nished demolition work on the bridge at about 7 a.m., toppling two massive pillars. About 4,000 tons of concrete rubble was expected to be removed over the course of the job. For weeks, authorities warned people that driving as usual this weekend could trigger what had been hyped as an event that could back up vehicles from the I-405 to surface streets and other freeways, causing a domino effect that could paralyze much of Los Angeles. Signs warning drivers well in advance about the closure appeared not just near the affected freeway but all over Southern California and as far away as the San Francisco Bay Area. But the fears of epic trafc jams dissipated with only light weekend trafc. It was just so nice.

WASHINGTON The White House held out hope Sunday that congressional leaders still had time to get something big done with President Barack Obama as the deadline for raising the nations debt ceiling drew nearer without a solution. I think that what is encouraging is that the leaders in Congress seem to have all agreed that we cant push to a default, White House budget director Jack Lew said. So I think that there are many conversations going on in order to make sure that
doesnt happen. The government will exceed the current $14.3 trillion debt ceiling on Aug. 2, after which it will be Barack Obama in default of its obligations. The consequences could be far-reaching, with potentially higher interest rates on mortgages and car loans, a halt in Social Security checks and unsettled world nancial markets. White House and congressional aides are continuing discussions
Sunday as Congress moves on two tracks to nd a solution for increasing the nations borrowing authority while reducing long-term decits. This comes after the failure to get a deal after ve straight days of meetings between Obama and congressional leaders at the White House. I think theres still time to get something big done, Lew said. Republicans have rejected any plan that contains tax increases. Lew said on NBCs Meet The Press that the president made clear he wants the largest deal possible. He wants to do the most we can to reduce the decit, Lew said.
But he also said that if we cant get the most done, then in addition to extending the debt we should do as much as we can. House Republicans are preparing to vote this week on allowing an increase in the governments borrowing limit through 2012 as long as Congress approves a balancedbudget constitutional amendment. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., called that proof that Republicans are willing to compromise and hardly a radical idea but the Senates No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said that bill doesnt have the needed support in the Senate. This notion that we have to
change the Constitution to do what we were elected to do is just plain wrong, Durbin said. Both senators spoke on Meet the Press. Lew, appearing on CNNs State of the Union, also did not like the idea. What these ideas do is say lets kick the can down the road so that others will deal with it, he said. The challenge is for Washington now to do the job the American people sent us here to do. DeMint said the United States is on course for a nancial disaster and that lawmakers have to draw a line in the sand now because a day of reckoning is going to come.

Military gay couples wont enjoy benets
SAN DIEGO Gay service members from Army soldiers to Air Force ofcers are planning to celebrate the ofcial end of the militarys 17-year policy that forced them to hide their sexual orientation with another ofcial act marriage. A 27-year-old Air Force ofcer from Ohio said he cant wait to wed his partner of two years and slip on a ring that he wont have to take off or lie about when he goes to work each day once dont ask, dont tell is repealed. He plans to wed his boyfriend, a federal employee, in Washington D.C. where same-sex marriages are legal. He asked not to be identied, following the advice of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a national organization representing gay troops, including the Air Force ofcer, that has cautioned those on active duty from coming out until the ban is off the books. I owe it to him and myself, the ofcer said of getting married. I dont want to do it in the dark. I think that taints what its supposed to be about which is us, our families, and our government. But in the eyes of the military the marriage will not be recognized and the couple will still be denied most of the benefits the Defense
Department gives to heterosexual couples to ease the costs of medical care, travel, housing and other living expenses.
ORLANDO, Fla. This is what freedom looks like for Casey Anthony: $537.68 from her jail account, no job, estranged parents, a criminal record, lawsuits pending against her and the scorn of multitudes who think she got away with murder. She quickly gave reporters the slip after walking out of jail Sunday, but whatever life she manages to build for herself will be lived under a media microscope and the shadow of countless threats. Experts who have helped other notorious defendants through rough times say she will have opportunities as well, but it wont be easy for the 25-year-old, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but convicted of
lying to investigators. With her hair in a bun, Casey Anthony walked out the front door of an Orlando-area jail shortly after Casey Anthony midnight, wearing a pink Tshirt, blue jeans and sneakers, and escorted by sheriffs deputies holding semi-automatic ries. Protesters shouted baby killer and you suck as she climbed into an SUV. The vehicle sped away and darted into a parking garage at a building where one of her attorneys has offices. Where she went next is unknown. Soon after her release, there was police activity at Orlando Executive
Airport as two vehicles pulled up to a twin-engine private jet bound for Columbus, Ohio, but no one saw Anthony get out and onto the plane. Ohio is the home state of Anthonys parents, but an official at the Columbus airport said the aircraft was only carrying golfers back from a Florida vacation. Casey is in good hands, said Todd Macaluso, a former member of Anthonys defense team who declined to comment further. Her lead attorney, Jose Baez, did not respond Sunday to email and phone messages left by The Associated Press, nor did other lawyers on her defense team and those representing her father and mother. Another former Anthony lawyer, Terry Lenamon, said he had no clue where she was headed, and that

CAIRO Egypts prime minister named 12 new Cabinet members Sunday in a reshufe under pressure from protesters demanding a purge of remnants of the former regime, state television reported. A lawyer for Hosni Mubarak, meanwhile, said the ousted president had suffered a stroke and was in a coma a claim that was quickly denied by Mubaraks lead doctor. The former president is set to face trial in about two weeks on charges he ordered the killings of protesters
during the 18day uprising that ousted him on Feb. 11. A conviction could carry the death penalty and activists suspect his Hosni Mubarak lawyer may be using health problems as a ruse to sway public opinion and perhaps even win amnesty. State TV dubbed the new government lineup the Revolution Cabinet. Most of the ministers
were relative newcomers, clearly a way to avoid further criticism by the protesters. Thousands of Egyptians have returned to Tahrir Square, the epicenter of Egypts uprising, complaining that change has come too slow under the military council that took over power. Even after the Cabinet reshufe, many of the protesters in the square said they have no intention of quitting more than a week into their sitin. The real power brokers are the generals of Hosni Mubarak, said activist Hossam el-Hamalawy.
Nothing has really changed on the ground. He said ending military trials for civilians and an improved minimum wage remain high on the list of the protesters demands. Prime Minister Essam Sharaf is delivering on a promise for a Cabinet reshufe in an attempt to end the new round of mass protests. A nal lineup is expected Monday. The most prominent among those replaced is Antiquities chief Zahi Hawass. For more than a decade, he has been the international face of Egypts archaeology, with his trademark Indiana Jones hat that turned him into an instantly recog-

He has been accused of being too close to Mubarak and his family, along with former culture minister Farouq Hosni, himself a protege of the Mubaraks who had served in the Cabinet for 25 years until he was pushed out after the revolution. Sharaf accepted the resignation of Finance Minister Samir Radwan after his new budget was dismissed by many protesters as conservative.

Chavez retains secrecy over cancer therapy in Cuba
CARACAS, Venezuela In his monthlong fight against cancer, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has placed utmost importance on secrecy, carefully offering only scraps of information about his condition. Now, as he begins planned chemotherapy in Cuba, Chavez appears to have found the perfect place where he can tightly guard details of his illness and keep the prying eyes of the news media far away. The Venezuelan leader rst underwent surgery in the island nation on June 20 to remove a cancerous tumor from his pelvic region. He returned Saturday night, saying he would be starting a second phase of treatment. Typical of the cone of silence Chavez has lowered over his health problems, he hasnt said how long the chemotherapy is likely to last, and there was no immediate conrmation from either Cuba or Venezuela that the treatments had in fact begun.

ZAWIYA, Libya For three days running, the rallies have been carnival-like affairs with bands, horseback riders and even a camel dyed green. At each gathering, thousands of delirious supporters of Moammar Gadha cheered as the brother leaders deant speeches boomed from massive speakers. As NATO hammers away at the Libyan leaders defenses and the United States and its allies throw their support behind the rebels, Gadha is trying to boost morale in what is left of his nation and show his people he is still strong and his opponents are few. These are the millions of Libyan people
and the picture is now complete. Who else remains? Less than 100,000 are trapped in Benghazi, Derna and Tobruk, Gadha said in one of the speeches, referring to rebel-held cities in the east. Bolstering that image is all the more pressing after the U.S. and more than 30 nations recognized Gadhas enemies during a meeting Friday in Istanbul, potentially freeing up billions in frozen oil money that could be put into rebel hands. NATO jets destroyed a military storage facility and other targets in Tripolis eastern outskirts early Sunday, and rebel attacks on the eastern oil city of Brega stretched into their fourth day, with reports of pitched battles in the residential areas.

gram as weve come to know it. But whats next? President Barack Obama hasnt set a clear goal for Americans to achieve. Looking back a half-century, another young president John F. Kennedy declared it to be the U.S. mission to put a man on the moon and return him safely to the Earth. We accomplished that mission in the face of intense competition from the Soviet Union, which had been the rst to launch a satellite, the rst to put humans into space and was threatening
n a few days, a sleek winged ship will drop out of the sky after spending nearly two weeks in space. It will glide to a runway most likely in Florida. And an era of space travel will come to an end as the space shuttle Atlantis coasts to a stop. This must not signal the end of the U.S. space faring mission. Thousands of dedicated NASA employees based in Florida, Alabama and, yes, in Texas, are going to lose their jobs eventually as the government pulls the shades down on the space pro-
this nations technical superiority. ... The United States cannot afford to abdicate its leadership role in space, said U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, when our innovation and accomplishments have brought so much to the American economy, national security and the quality of life for all mankind. The International Space Station will keep orbiting the planet. The Russians will provide launch vehicles to take astronauts to the ISS, with Americans hitching a ride from time to time. But the end of the shuttle program must not signal the end of our journey into space.

herever you go these days, someone is complaining about noise. People who live near the airport complain about jet noise. The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury has just issued a recommendation that the Airport Roundtable, a group of representatives for San Mateo County cities, take a firmer stand in complaining. As the planes get bigger, so does the sound. Of course if you rented or bought near the airport you couldnt expect it to be quiet, or did you? Or maybe the real estate agent showed you your house at a relatively quiet time and when you inquired about noise told you not to worry, the airport pays to soundproof your windows. Then there are the people who live alongside Highway 101. The roar of cars is constant. I dont know how they stand it. Of course if you live near a major freeway you didnt expect it to be quiet, or did you? Maybe the real estate agent told you the noise would be buffered by sound walls. The city of San Mateo spent months working with Caltrans, neighbors and businesses between Third and Peninsula avenues to establish a sound wall which mitigated noise for residents but still allowed hotels and business outfits to be visible from the road. You can see that the sound wall goes up and down to accommodate those requests. People who live near trains complain about horns and are fearful that highspeed rail will bring more noise. Just like the airport and the highway, the railroad was there long before people chose to live close to it. Of course if you live near the tracks you cant expect it to be quiet. Maybe just quieter. Horns are necessary where the trains cross at grade for safety reasons. People like to cross the tracks when its convenient for them and dont realize what the force of even a slow-moving train can do to the human body. Horns blown at night are mainly from freight trains. They share the tracks with the commuter rail and are supposed to operate mainly at night. Usually safety trumps quiet. The latest culprits in the news are leaf blowers. Not everyone lives near an airport, a freeway or a railroad but many do live next to a house with a lawn and a gardener who uses a leaf blower. After many complaints, the city of San Mateo approved a compromise ordinance not eliminating leaf blowers but limiting their hours of operation. Some other cities have gone further and just banned them as an environmental and noise hazard. Burlingame may join their ranks. I thought about this the other day when I was attempting to enjoy our perfect summer weather. I had my unfinished novel, my chaise in perfect position to catch some warmth but not full sun, and was just about to drop off into a peaceful slumber when the noise from next door was overwhelming. It had to be an army of blowers. I hoped they would soon go away, but the noise got so intense I gave up and went inside. And in the following days I began to realize this was a pattern. There was no quiet in the neighborhood if you were at home during the day. The noise from leaf blowers seemed to be nonstop. Burlingame, go get em! *** Political noise: By the August filing deadline, we will know who is in the race for spots on city councils. So far there may be little or no opposition to Ray Buenaventura in Daly City who is running for the seat vacated by Maggie Gomez (who was convicted of insurance fraud); Maureen Freschet in San Mateo (who is running for John Lees seat, vacated by term limits); and Ron Collins in San Carlos who is running for the seat left vacant by Omar Ahmads untimely death. Looking ahead to a supervisor vacancy in 2012 is Redwood City resident Memo Morantes who already has a head start in endorsements. Memo, currently a member of the San Mateo County Board of Education, has his eye on Rose Jacob Gibsons seat. She will be termed out in two years. Others who have previously expressed interest are former Redwood City councilwoman Diane Howard and Menlo Park Councilwoman Kelly Fergusson. If Morantes is successful, he will be the second Hispanic to serve on the board. The first was Ruben Barrales. Currently Jacobs Gibson is the only minority member of the board. The addition of a Hispanic will be welcome news to those who feel this growing segment of the countys population is underrepresented.

NEW YORK Time is running out for Washington to raise the countrys borrowing limit and avoid a default. Wall Street isnt panicking yet. But if the unthinkable happens, a default could strike nancial markets like an earthquake. If we just get higher longer-term interest rates, wed be lucky, said John Briggs, Treasury strategist at the Royal Bank of Scotland. What might markets look like after a default? The tremors from even a short-lived default could take unpredictable paths. Stocks, bonds and the dollar would likely plummet in the immediate aftermath. Theres wide agreement among economists that a default would drive up borrowing costs for everybody. U.S. Treasury yields act like a oor for other lending rates, so raising them makes it more expensive for Americans to take out mortgages, for corporations to nance new spending and for local governments to borrow. But analysts say predicting exactly how
a default would play out in stocks, bonds and currency in the hours and days following the Aug. 2. debt ceiling deadline is practically impossible. If I were to draw a ow chart, it becomes so complex its impossible to analyze the impact of a default, said Guy LaBas, chief xed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. When pressed, investors say the immediate aftermath could look like the nancial crisis in September 2008. Stocks would lead the way down. In the month following Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, for instance, the Standard & Poors 500 index lost 28 percent. Gold may offer some refuge. Fear has driven traders into precious metals in droves in recent years, but gold is at a record $1,594 an ounce, without taking ination into account. But two places where traders usually hide -- the dollar and U.S. Treasurys -- are likely to sink as the worlds investors ee the U.S. There would be few places to hide. A deeper fear is that a default could freeze the short-term lending markets that keep money moving throughout the global nancial system. Treasurys and other government-backed debt are widely as
used collateral for loans in these markets. A default and a downgrade of U.S. debt by rating agencies would shake the trust in that collateral, Briggs said. Lenders could respond by demanding borrowers to post more collateral, forcing them to sell other investments to meet those demands. A similar selling cycle spread turmoil across markets when Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008. But the fallout from a U.S. default could be much worse. I dont even want to think of the ripple effects, Briggs said. Indeed, most analysts agree that if the worlds largest economy reneges on its debts, the consequences would be catastrophic. Thats why so far theyve trusted Congressional Republicans and President Barack Obama to reach a deal. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke certainly drew a dire picture in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. He said a default would be a calamitous outcome and create a severe nancial shock. The global financial system relies on Treasurys, backed by the worlds largest economy and long considered one of the worlds safest bets.
LONDON An intensifying voicemail hacking and police bribery scandal cut closer than ever to Rupert Murdoch and Scotland Yard on Sunday with the arrest of the media magnates former British newspaper chief and the resignation of Londons police commissioner. Though the former executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the police chief, Paul Stephenson, have denied wrongdoing, both developments are ominous not only for Murdochs News Corp., but for a British power structure that nurtured a cozy relationship with his papers for years. Brooks, the ultimate social and political insider, dined at Christmas with
Prime Minister David Cameron. His Conservative-led government is now facing increasing questions about its relationship with Murdochs media empire. The arrest of the 43-year-old Brooks, often described as a surrogate daughter to the 80-year-old Murdoch, brought the British police investigations into the media barons inner circle for the rst time. It raises the possibility that Murdochs old friend Les Hinton, who resigned Friday as publisher of The Wall Street Journal, or his 38-year-old son and heir apparent, James, could be next. Until her resignation Friday, Brooks was the deant chief executive of News International, Murdochs British newspaper arm, whose News of the World tabloid stands accused of hacking into
the phones of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims. In the tumultuous last two weeks, she had kept her job even as Murdoch shut down the 168-year-old News of the World and tossed 200 other journalists out of work. On Sunday she showed up for a prearranged meeting with London police investigating the hacking and was arrested. She was being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications phone hacking and on suspicion of corruption, which relates to bribing police for information. Brooks spokesman, David Wilson, said police contacted her Friday to arrange a meeting and she voluntarily went to assist with their ongoing investigation.
LOS ANGELES Born with cerebral palsy, Jennifer McPhail relies on a home health aide to help her get dressed for work and ready for bed at night. Her motorized wheelchair keeps her active, working as an organizer with a disability rights group in Austin, Texas, and volunteering to help people nd housing and to staff hurricane shelters. She now fears deep cuts in the states Medicaid spending will prevent her from living independently. What it says to me is that the state doesnt value the lives of people with disabilities, said McPhail, 39. A lot of people are going to be hurt in a very intimate way. Its a concern facing families across the country as states with gaping budget decits cut home health services that help keep the elderly and disabled out of nursing homes. States are reducing how much time a nurse can spend making house calls and ending meal deliveries for the homebound. Many also are gutting adult day care programs that give seniors a safe place to spend their days while their relatives are at work. Aging and disability services in three out of four states have been reduced over the last two years or face cuts, even though demand is increasing. Texas lawmakers underfunded Medicaid by nearly $5 billion in the state budget, a move that home health advocates say leaves the elderly and adults with disabilities unsure how their care at home will be provided. California eliminated funding for about 330 adult day centers, a move that will affect some 35,000 seniors who use them for medical care and socializing.

SAN DIEGO Chris Stewart drove in the go-ahead run with a suicide squeeze in the 11th inning, then pounced on a bunt moments later to start a slick double play that helped the San Francisco Giants hold off the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Sunday. Emmanuel Burriss, who entered as a pinch-runner in the ninth, reached on a one-out single off
Chad Qualls (4-3) in the 11th. Burriss stole second and continued to third on catcher Kyle Phillips throwing error. With the ineld in, Qualls pitched out on his rst delivery to Stewart, who stayed in the game after pinchhitting in the ninth. But on a 3-1 count, Stewart laid down a perfect bunt to easily score Burriss. The Giants stole six bases, two by Burriss, to tie a San Francisco record.
Javier Lopez (5-1) pitched two innings for the win and Brian Wilson wriggled out of a jam in the 11th for his 28th save in 32 chances. Wilson walked his rst two batters and Phillips tried to advance them with a bunt in front of home plate. Stewart quickly popped out of his crouch and red to third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who relayed to rst for a 2-5-4 double play that red up the Giants ineld. Logan Forsythe walked before
Wilson retired Alberto Gonzalez on a game-ending grounder. San Francisco, which has won seven of its last nine games, took three of four in the series. It was the eighth time the clubs have played each other in the last 11 games. The Padres have lost eight of nine. San Diegos Orlando Hudson hit a two-run, go-ahead single in the sixth inning to take advantage of a mistake by catcher Eli Whiteside.
With one out in the sixth and Everth Cabrera at the plate, Matt Cain threw a pitch in the dirt that Cabrera swung at and missed for strike three. But plate umpire Marvin Hudson ruled that Whiteside didnt catch the ball. While Cabrera took off for rst base, Whiteside held up his glove, indicating he had caught the ball, while he argued with Hudson.

FRANKFURT, Germany They came to play for their storm-ravaged country. They left with the Womens World Cup trophy, holding it high above their smiling faces, ecked with gold confetti. Japan stunned the Americans in a riveting Womens World Cup nal, beating them 3-1 on penalty kicks Sunday after coming from behind twice in a 2-2 tie. Goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori made two brilliant saves in the shootout.

TOKYO Japans victory over the United States in the Womens World Cup gave joyous fans something to celebrate after months of tragedy caused by a killer earthquake and tsunami. Fans decked out in Japans dark blue uniforms chanted and sang in downtown Tokyo early Monday morning after their team beat the United States in a penalty shootout to become the rst Asian country to take the title. Sports bars and restaurants were packed with enthusiastic fans despite the early kickoff 3:45 a.m. local time. The dramatic victory was a welcome break from a long stretch of bad news dating to March 11 when the twin disasters devastated a large swath of the countrys northeast coast and triggered an ongoing crisis at a nuclear power plant.

But the Nadeshiko pushed ahead, playing inspired soccer and hoping their success could provide even a small emotional lift to their nation, still reeling from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the northern coast of the country and left nearly 23,000 dead or missing. After each game, the team unfurled a banner saying, To our Friends Around the World Thank You for Your Support. On Sunday, they did it before the match and afterward they had a new sign to display: Champions and the rst Asian country to win this title. The Americans found it all too hard to grasp. They believed they were meant to be World Cup champions after their rocky year needing a playoff to qualify, a loss in group play to Sweden, the epic comeback against Brazil. They simply couldnt pull off one last thriller. The players were patient, they wanted to win this game, Sasaki said. I think its because of that the Americans scored only two goals. While Japan celebrated at midfield, the Americans stood as a group and watched. There are really no words, Abby Wambach said. We were so close. Minutes, in fact.

As the crowd gasped, Lloyd covered her mouth in dismay. Solo saved Japans next shot, but Kaihori made an impressive twohanded save on a shot by Tobin Heath. This is a team effort, Kaihori said. In the penalty shootout I just had to believe in myself and I was very condent. Solo came up with a save, and Wambach buried her penalty kick. But Japan need to make just one more, and Saki Kumagai did. Its tough to do two rounds of penalties, Wambach said. The keeper knows in a lot of ways where were going to go. She made some great saves. Its been 12 years since the United States has won the World Cup, and this team was certain they were the ones to break the drought. Theyd needed to beat Italy in a two-game playoff just to get into the World Cup, then lost two games in a three-month span, an unusual bad streak for the defending Olympic champions. After easy wins in their rst two games in Germany, the Americans lost to Sweden their rst loss ever in World Cup group play. But they rallied with one of the most riveting finishes ever in a World Cup game mens or womens against Brazil in the quarternals.

SANDWICH, England No matter how long it grows or even how quickly, the list of major champions from the tiny country of Northern Ireland just wouldnt feel complete without Darren Clarke. He doesnt have the majestic swing of Rory McIlroy or the putting prowess of Graeme McDowell, the last two U.S. Open champions. He hasnt contended in a major for the last 10 years, wasnt even eligible for the last three majors and was no longer among the top 100 in the world. No matter. Clarkes three-shot victory in the British Open was met with unending applause Sunday, the loudest saved for the closing ceremony when he was introduced as the champion golfer of the year. More than that, Clarke is a man of the people. Im a bit of a normal bloke, arent I? Clarke said, the claret jug at his side. I like to go to the pub and have a pint, y home, buy everybody a drink, just normal. Theres not many airs and graces about me. I was a little bit more difcult to deal with in my earlier years, and Ive mellowed some. Just a little bit. But Im just a normal guy playing golf, having a bit of fun. He was extraordinary at Royal St. Georges. A cigarette curled under his ngers as he barreled down the fairways, Clarke held off brief challenges from Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson and held up under the pressure until no one could catch him.
Mickelson, who needed only seven holes to made up a ve-shot decit, stepped aside by missing too many short putts. Johnson, in the nal group of a major for the third time in the last six, made another blunder with a major at stake. This time, he was two shots behind on the par-5 14th, tried to lay up with a 2-iron and hit it out-of-bounds to make double bogey. They shared second place, stretching the American drought to six straight majors without winning. Despite meaningless bogeys on the last two holes, Clarke closed with an even-par 70. Pretty amazing right now, Clarke said. Its been a dream since Ive been a kid to win the Open, like any kids dream is, and Im able to do it, which just feels incredible. The weather was so wild that heavy rain switched over to sunshine, back and forth all afternoon, in a relentless wind. Clarke was steady through it all, never allowing himself to think about what it mean to hold the claret jug until he stepped onto the 18th green. Clarke removed his visor to salute the gallery. His hair is almost all gray now, the result of a 42-year-old who has gone through more hard times than he cares to remember, the worst of it losing his wife to cancer ve years ago. Bad times in golf are more frequent than the good times, he said. Ive always been pretty hard on myself when I fail because I dont nd it very easy to accept that. And theres times Ive been completely and utterly fed up with the game. The advice from friends, family and agent Chubby Chandler were always the same.

Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland kisses the Claret Jug after winning the British Open golf championship at Royal St George's in Sandwich,southern England Sunday.
Get out there and practice and keep going, keep going, keep going, Clarke said. And thats why Im sitting here now. With a one-shot lead over Johnson going into the nal round, there was a sense that Clarke wouldnt be able to hold up. But he holed a 12-foot par putt on the rst, a downhill 8-footer for par on the third. A 20-foot eagle putt on the seventh, not long after Mickelson made eagle to tie him, gave Clarke the lead for good. Northern Ireland had gone 63 years since Fred Daly in the
1947 British Open without winning a major. Now it has three of the last six. Northern Ireland...... Golf capital of the world!! McIlroy tweeted as Clarke played the last hole. Were blessed to have two fantastic players in Rory and GMac, and Ive just come along, the only guy coming along behind them, Clarke said. We have fantastic golf courses, we have fantastic facilities, but to have three major champions from a little, small place in a short period of time, its just incredible. They are so close that a week after McIlroy won the U.S. Open, Clarke pulled out of a tournament in Germany so he could return to Northern Ireland and join the celebration. Maybe McIlroy, who shot a 73 and complained the weather didnt suit him at the British Open, can return the favor. He missed Munich for mine, so I dont think Ill miss a tournament for his, but Ill denitely be there, McIlroy said. And Ill denitely be one of the last ones to go to bed. The celebrations also seemed to be for someone else, and Clarke had reason to believe his time had gone. Surely, nothing could top playing a Ryder Cup on home soil in Ireland ve years ago and leading Europe to victory just one month after his wife, Heather, died. He is engaged now, yet his thoughts were with his wife. In terms of whats going through my heart, theres obviously somebody who is watching down from up above there, and I know shed be very proud of me, Clarke said. Shes probably be saying, I told you so.
STATELINE, Nev. Even actor Jack Wagners 91-year-old mother was focused on Tony Romo as her son and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback battled in the nal round of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe.
But Wagner, the only non-professional athlete to have won the tourney in its 22 years, did it again Sunday, holding off the late-charging Romo with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole and overcoming a shot into the pond guarding the par5 18th. Unbelievable, said Wagner,
who joined Rick Rhoden, Billy Joe Tolliver and Dan Quinn as the only multiple champs to claim the $125,000 winners check at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. My hats off to Tony Romo, he said. What a great player. Im just really happy to have played well. Wagner, who described himself
earlier in the week as a pipsqueak actor trying to keep up with the big hitters, said he telephoned his mother before Sundays round and all she wanted to talk about was Romo. Im like, Mom, mom, were only concerned about Jack today. We cant control Tony, Wagner said.
That didnt stop his mother from commenting on Romos size. If it comes down to a wrestling match, mom, were going to lose, Wagner said he told her. So that was really the key for me today. I was kind of focused on what I was doing and I think that helped my nerves.

OAKLAND Conor Jackson fumbled through his locker and pulled out an unused baseball bat and ball, added his signature to both, then handed them over to Oakland Athletics equipment manager Steve Vucinich. That was a small price to pay for the veteran outelders rst career grand slam, and Jackson was happy to oblige the fan who caught the historic hit. Obviously Im not a 40-home run guy so those opportunities dont come too often, said Jackson, whose home run highlighted an eight-run rst inning in Oaklands 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Im going to savor it. Its exciting. It was a monumental day all
around for the As, who broke out of a seasonlong offensive slump and set an Oakland record while taking three of four from their diviConor Jackson sion rivals. The nine runs matched the As season high for scoring and marked only the fourth time this season theyve had more than eight runs total. Nearly all of the damage came in the rst inning when Oakland sent 14 batters to the plate and chased Angels starter Joel Pineiro (5-4) after just one-third of an inning. Seven of the runs came before an out was recorded, a rst for the As in their history at
the Coliseum. Since Ive been here thats the best at-bats, consistent at-bats throughout the inning (weve had), Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. We took our walks and made them work. Connors home run was kind of the cherry on top. Hideki Matsui added a two-run single in the rst and nished with three RBIs, while All-Star left-hander Gio Gonzalez (9-6) rebounded from his worst outing of the season and allowed four hits over seven innings to win for the third time in four starts. Oakland went into the game as the second-lowest scoring team in the American League and had only 51 home runs second-fewest in the majors before Jacksons home run landed midway up the stands in left eld.
It was Jacksons third homer of the season and the rst grand slam by an As player since Daric Barton had one against Seattle on Oct. 1, 2010. That it came against Pineiro, whom he was only 2 for 12 against previously, made it that much sweeter for Jackson. Thats a rarity for that guy, Jackson said. Ive never seen him like that before. Usually hes had my number quite a bit. He has a plusslider, he just couldnt nd it today. Im looking to be aggressive right there with a good pitch and I got one. Alberto Callaspo went 3 for 4 but the Angels, who went into the AllStar break trailing rst-place Texas by one game in the AL West, didnt do much else and dropped four games back.
Well just turn the page on this one, Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. We dont need to spend much time dissecting this one. We need to get the pitching which will give us a chance to win, which we have been getting. Pineiro was in trouble early on Sunday. The Angels right-hander never got comfortable and walked the rst three batters he faced. Matsuis tworun single was Oaklands rst hit of the inning, but Pineiro walked Scott Sizemore. With the ineld drawn in, David DeJesus hit a sharp grounder to rst base but Mark Trumbos throw home was wide of the plate, allowing Josh Willingham to score. Jackson then homered on an 0-1 pitch to clear the bases.
PHOENIX Its going to be hard for Daniel Hudson to top this game. Hudson threw a five-hitter, belted his first big league home run and had a key two-run single, almost single-handedly leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. I cant say enough, said teammate Ryan Roberts, who also homered. The guy pitches, the guy hits, the guy pitches into the ninth inning now. He throws strong every time out.
Hudson (10-5) struck out three and walked none in his second complete game of the season. He also earned his first win since he beat Kansas City on June 23 and improved to 9-1 in 16 starts after beginning the season 0-4. The right-handers impressive performance came one day after Ian Kennedy earned his 10th win for Arizona. The two young pitchers continue to give Arizona a strong 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation. Hudson connected against Ted Lilly (6-10) in the sixth, then singled in a pair of runs with two out in the seventh to make it 4-1. The Dodgers intentionally
walked Xavier Nady and brought in Blake Hawksworth before Hudson came to the plate in the important spot. But manager Kirk Gibson resisted any temptation to hit for his workhorse starter, who has thrown more than 100 pitchers 15 times this season. I liked the matchup, honestly, Gibson said. I know Hawksworths good. Righties are better against him. But its Daniel Hudson out there. The guys very competitive. Hes hitting over .300. ... And he wanted to finish the game. Hudsons single between shortstop and third base raised his batting average to .359.
I think my pitch count was low enough to where he still trusted me that I had good stuff to go out there the next inning, Hudson said. We had the lead. Maybe if we were down or tied he probably would have pinch hit for me but was happy he had confidence enough in me to get the job done and go out there and finish the game. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly did not second-guess himself. It is not one of those I will look back and say I shouldnt have did that, he said. I know Hawk has to throw strikes. I couldnt give them another shot at Teddy. I think I would do that every time. Hudson retired his first nine bat-
ters and his last eight, striking out Aaron Miles to end the game. Hudsons first career complete game came on June 17 against the Chicago White Sox, who traded the Virginia native to Arizona last year. The Diamondbacks took two of three in the series. Lilly struck out five of six batters in one stretch, but the exception was Roberts, who hit a changeup in the second inning for his 12th homer. He retired 11 in a row after Roberts homer, five via strikeout. It kind of feels like another pitchers duel that I lost, Lilly said. What I am thinking is eventually I am going to have to win one of these.

themselves in position to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Even the usually gruff Stewart, his dark humor still on display, enjoyed this celebration. This was a perfect weekend, he said. It was needed, too. Newman won for the rst time since April 2010 in Phoenix and Stewart earned only his second topve of the season. It was a pair of near-awless runs for the drivers as they gear up for a championship run. Stewart joked that he asked for just one day where something didnt go wrong with the race teams. They got it on a day when only four of the top-10 drivers in the points standings had a top-10 nish. Its no secret weve been struggling this year, Stewart said. But it really shows me the depth of the people we got in our organization. Its been one of the weirdest years as far as weird things and bad luck happening to both of us. Newman became the 13th different winner in Sprint Cup this year,

Sports brief
Voeckler keeps Tour lead but doubts chances to win
MONTPELLIER, France Thomas Voeckler stayed with the big Tour de France favorites in the mountains. Hes had the lead for six days. And no less a cycling connoisseur than Lance Armstrong thinks the Frenchman could be wearing the yellow jersey when the race ends July 24 in Paris. The biggest doubter is Voeckler himself. I will ght, of course, but I musnt be dishonest, Voeckler said after Sundays at Stage 15, won by British sprint star Mark Cavendish. I consider that I have zero percent chance of winning the Tour de France. For many French fans, Voeckler has rekindled cautious optimism that cyclings greatest prize could return home for the rst time since 1985, the last of Bernard Hinaults ve victories. Voecklers retort: Dont expect me to do it. I dont want to lie to the public, he said. Maybe it would make for good publicity, I dont know, but it doesnt interest me. ... Im not going to announce to the French people that Im in yellow, I have a chance to win. Such humility has been virtually unheard of at cyclings premier event in recent years. Riders like Armstrong or threetime champion Alberto Contador of Spain unabashedly bared their ambition from the outset.
Talks to end the NFL lockout will resume with the court-appointed mediator in New York on Monday and could continue through Thursday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity, because the discussions are supposed to remain condential. The mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, originally had ordered representatives of the leagues owners and players to meet with him Tuesday in Minneapolis. Now Boylan is expected to arrive in New York on Monday to oversee talks aimed at ending the NFLs rst work stoppage since 1987. The owners have a special meeting set for Thursday in Atlanta, where they potentially could ratify a new deal if one is reached by then. Any agreement also must be voted on by groups of players, including the named plaintiffs in a federal antitrust suit against the league, and the NFL Players Associations 32 team representatives. More than four months into the lockout, owners and players have made signicant progress on the framework of an
agreement. But re-establishing the union and guring out what it will take for nine NFL players including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees to settle that antitrust suit are among key issues blocking a deal to end the lockout, people familiar with the negotiations told the AP on condition of anonymity. The unresolved matters also include how the TV networks case, in which the players accused the owners of setting up lockout insurance, will be settled. Among the parts mostly squared away following signicant progress last week: how the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues will be divided; a rookie salary system; free agency rules; a cap of about $120 million for player salaries in 2011, with about another $20 million in benets. The lockout began March 12, when negotiations broke down and the old collective bargaining agreement expired. The NFLPA announced it was dissolving itself and would no longer be a union that could bargain for all players under labor law, instead saying it was now a trade association. That allowed players to take their chances against the NFL in federal court under antitrust law.
There is a possibility that the sides will be able to put together a tentative agreement in principle in time to keep the preseason completely intact. The exhibition opener is scheduled to be the Hall of Fame game between the St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears on Aug. 7, and as of Sunday, no preseason games had been canceled. Members of the legal and nancial teams for the two groups met in New York on Saturday, while NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith spoke with each other. The larger negotiating teams that gathered for more than 30 hours of intensive face-to-face talks spread across Wednesday through Friday including owners and current or former players did not meet Saturday. Among the parts of the deal that people familiar with the negotiations told the AP are largely in place: The players portion of the leagues full annual revenues will be on a sliding scale with a oor of 46.5 percent and a ceiling of 48.5 percent. There no longer will be the old formula, under which owners got a cut off the top for various operating expenses before revenues were divided.

LOS ANGELES The boy wizard has vanquished the dark knight and a band of pirates with a record-setting magic act at both the domestic and international box ofce. Warner Bros. estimates that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 took in $168.6 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That beats the previous best opening weekend of $158.4 million, also held by Warner Bros. for 2008s Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight. Overseas, the lm added $307 million in 59 countries since it began rolling out Wednesday, topping the previous best international debut of $260.4 million set in May by Disneys Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. International results for Deathly Hallows: Part 2 included record openings in Great Britain at $36.6 million and Australia at $26.7 million, according to Warner Bros. Worldwide, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 topped $475 million in a matter of days, putting it on course to become the franchises rst billion-dollar worldwide hit. This will be the biggest Harry Potter by far, said Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution at Warner Bros. A billion dollars is definitely going to happen. The current franchise high is $974.8 million worldwide for the rst lm, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone 10 years ago. Deathly Hallows: Part 2 does have the advantage of 3-D screenings, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D shows. Because of the higher 3-D price, plus regular inflation, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 sold fewer tickets but took in more money than The Dark Knight over opening weekend. Overall domestic revenue for the weekend totaled $263 million, a record for a non-holiday weekend, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The Harry Potter nale also set a record for best opening day domestically Friday with $92.1 million, nearly $20 million ahead of the previous high for The Twilight Saga: New Moon two years ago. Other records for Deathly Hallows: Part 2: best domestic gross for debut midnight shows at $43.5 million, topping the $30 million for
novels about the young wizards indoctrination into a secret world of sorcery and his epic battles with evil conjurer Voldemort. Cast more than a decade ago at ages 10 and 11 as Harry and his pals Hermione and Ron, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint became instant celebrities. They grew up on screen, maturing from inexperienced children to adult actors whose earnest performances contributed to glowing reviews from critics for the nale. The three now are moving on to adult roles, including Radcliffes stint on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Its just a great way to exit, with the class and style that J.K. Rowling wrote into these stories, Fellman said. It comes to an end, as all goods thing do. When you have the opportunity to be a part of that, to work on all eight movies over 10 years, to see the kids, meeting them for the rst time when theyre 10 and 11, and just now going to see Daniel Radcliffe at 22 years old in How to Succeed in Business on Broadway. Theres a bittersweet part of it. The rst Harry Potter lm shown in 3-D, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 continued a downward trend for domestic revenues derived from the 3-D format. Some earlier hits took in 70 percent or more of their domestic cash from 3-D shows. But Deathly Hallows: Part 2 did just 43 percent of its domestic business in 3-D, with most fans choosing cheaper 2-D tickets. That still means a healthy $72.5 million in domestic revenue from 3-D screenings, but it also shows that American audiences have lost much of their fervor for seeing movies in three dimensions. Overseas audiences remain eager for it, with 3-D tickets accounting for 61 percent of international income on Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Woody Allen hit a milestone as his romance Midnight in Paris pulled in $1.9 million to raise its domestic total to $41.8 million, a personal revenue record for the lmmaker. The Sony Pictures Classics release beat Allens previous high of $40.1 million for 1986s Hannah and Her Sisters. Factoring in todays higher admission prices, Hannah and Her Sisters and other earlier Allen hits such as Annie Hall sold far more tickets than Midnight in Paris.

of worries. Inspired by his long-standing passion for gardening, Moed decided to start a community-supported garden at his high school. His leadership and creative thinking garnered a $36,000 grant from the Helen Diller Foundation for the gardens upkeep. After playing such an integral role in both the creation and maintenance of the garden, Moed is now concerned about what will happen to it after he graduates. Its not in anyones job description down at the school district to help fund gardens, so we have to turn to nonprofits, Moed said. Moed was only slightly familiar with the Helen Diller Foundation when an old summer camp director of his nominated him for the Diller Teens Tikkum Olum Award, an honor given this year to ve students across California to aid various humanitarian projects. While applying for grants was not part of Moeds initial plan, he realized it was a necessary step to take due to the gardens lack of school district funding. Due to large-scale budget cuts, the funds available for projects such as Moeds have all but evaporated. Naftalis involvement with the garden began during his freshmen year, after Ryan Riedy, his environmental science teacher, noticed his interest in sustainable agriculture. Riedy, wanting to take advantage of the various areas of open space on campus, had been playing around with the idea of starting a school garden for years. All he needed was a student leader who could aid with the gardens upkeep. His answer came in the form of Moed, a bright-eyed freshman, already a veteran gardener at the age of 14. Moed helped coordinate work both on the ground, being the designated leader during volunteer hours, and work off the eld, writing grants in his free time to help obtain the gardens funding. Moeds interest in gardening began long before his partnership with Riedy. Moed cites his rst true experience with experimental green space was the school
Naftali Moed started a community garden at Oceana High School in Pacica. His effort recently garnered a $36,000 grant for its upkeep.
garden for which he volunteered at Ocean Shore Elementary School during his eighth grade year. Inspired by his work at the Ocean Shore garden, Moed decided to start his own home garden, which had four or ve different vegetable beds and fruit trees. While Moed appreciated learning about how food is grown, he was also interested in learning about increasing food availability and what happens post harvest. In 2009, Moed attended the Rooted in Community Conference, during which he learned much of his technical knowledge of both agriculture and food preparation. He linked up with an organization called Pie Ranch, which is devoted to promoting a closer and healthier relationship between human beings and their food sources. Moed cites all of these past experiences as equally inuential in the formation of his current mindset. Moed has been able to learn technical knowledge, such as the ins and outs of efcient irrigation, as well as the broader philosophies of alternative agriculture. Ive been lucky enough to learn from suits in the area, talked to many of the city personnel about use of this building for a museum. Good thinking, Sylvia. Along with Roy Bava, Elizabeth Ervin, Ray Yoschak, Mary Giusti, Evelyn Martin (plus many others) backing the project, Sylvia was able to inuence the city into using the site at 80 Chestnut Ave. as a museum. On Nov. 6, 2008, a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony occurred and the new site was dedicated as a museum amid a large crowd of well-wishers, city councilmembers and members of the history group. The enlarged quarters would give the association lots of room for displaying the multitude of photos and family histories that have been accumulated over the years. A large storage room, plus an ofce for the museum curator, Elizabeth Irvin, and office equipment assures space to continue to all kinds of people, Moed said. Moeds efforts have created a ripple effect throughout Oceana High School. The school has now formed a garden advisory, which has been set up as an alternative to the standard advisory, currently a 20-minute study hall. Margret Esguerra, a junior at Oceana, was attracted to the garden advisory because of the strong community of volunteers. Its fun just to be able to get out of the classroom, Esguerra said. As Moeds time at Oceana will soon be coming to a close, he has recently devoted himself to planning for the longterm self-sustainability of the garden. Ideally we would make it so that there would be less of a need for constant supervision of the garden, Moed said. Riedy, Moeds environmental science teacher and mentor, is optimistic about the futures of both the garden and Moed. I think this is all just one big learning experience for him. Whatever his bigger goals are, I think theyll tie in nicely, Riedy said. prepare future displays. Another room was put to use as a library with another small room across for this for specialized displays. As you walk into the museum from the parking lot in the back of the museum, one of the many docents greets you at the desk to the right. Please sign in so the museum can keep track of visitors. Glancing around the front display room becomes overwhelming as there are so many things on display. A visit to the museum is a must for everyone. Enjoy the experience. Co-chairs of the museum are Elizabeth Ervin and Sylvia Payne. Call (650) 829-3825 for museum hours or info about membership.

constantly flowed into the museum. Their strength and determination to present history to the community resulted in constant different displays being prepared and exhibited on the walls of the museum. The museum was a big success from the beginning. It developed into a great social organization with a purpose. In the early 2000s, the city bought surplus land by 80 Chestnut Ave. from the California Water Company. The land contained a recently built, large building that the city had no plans for. Immediately, City Clerk Sylvia Payne, who had become active in historical pur-
