Deaton EL CERRITO — If old age or new code doesn’t close down the pool, poli- tics just might. At this week’s City Coun- cil meeting, on election day eve, accusa- tions and gavel pounding were front and center and decisions about the March 2000 Swim Center bond measure were put off until after the election. At various times during the meeting, Mayor Gina Brusatori and Councilman Norman La Force were called “out of or- der” by the other. Brusatori called some of La Force’s comments “hogwash” and last-minute campaign “hit pieces” were alleged. An abrupt call to officially table the motion until after the election failed to pass. A somewhat hurried first vote to approve putting the issuance of bonds for the March 2000 ballot failed to pass. It was finally decided, by majority if not unanimity, that more staff study was needed. Staff will provide more infor- mation about how community fund rais- ing efforts could be used to reduce the amount of the bond placed before the voters. The $5.3 million Swim Center bond measure issue will be taken up again at the council’s Nov. 15 meeting. The City Council needs to take action on the mat- ter by no later than Dec. 10 to be ready for the March 2000 ballot. An ordinance placing the bond mea- sure on the ballot has to be approved by the council in two separate votes at least five days apart.

JOANNA JHANDA BEA O'KEEFE, Marcia Grossman, Kathie Perka, her husband Jerry Ford, and Brenda Navellier track election results on television Tuesday. By J.R. Deaton EL CERRITO — It was a close race, but as of Wednesday morning the new City Council members will be Janet Abel- son and Kathleen Perka. In her second bid for the council, Abelson was the top vote-getter, receiv- ing 2,798 votes or 27.1 percent. Perka re- ceived 2,768 or 26.8 percent. Letitia Moore and Beatrice O’Keefe apparently did not win positions on the council, but they too made good show- ings. Moore garnered 2,653 votes or 25.7 percent and O’Keefe had 2,103 or 20.4 percent of the vote. The vote count has not yet been cer- tified by the county election's office and the final count will change, reported El Cerrito City Clerk Linda Giddings on Wednesday. . “The numbers will change because they haven't counted all of the absentee votes that were turned in at the polls and at the elections office on Election Day,” Giddings said. The county elections office has un- til the end of November to certify the re- sults, but Giddings said the city is usually notified within a couple of weeks. “The standings may or may not change,” Giddings noted. Using the current count, there is only a 30-vote difference between Abelson and Perka and only a 115-vote difference be- tween Perka and Moore. Only 695 votes separate Abelson, who received the most votes, and O’Keefe, who received the fewest. “| kind of always figured that the ones who came out as the top three would be the top three, and I was never totally sure of the order,” Abelson said when asked if the vote surprised her. “I think what it Abelson, Perka top voting EL CERRITO CITY COUNCIL (two to be elected) 13 of 13 precincts reporting Kathie Perka........:rce 2,768 26.8% Janet Abelson............. 2,798 27.1% Bea O'Keefe. Letitia Moore... Write-in candidates... ended up saying, probably, is that name recognition had a lot to do with it.” Abel- son said she will work with others on the council and plans to look to the future. “Whatever happened in the past, hap- pened in the past,” she said. “I’m more interested in what we’re going to do about the future.” With tough issues such as the city’s infrastructure needs, redevelopment and the department store question facing El Cerrito, the campaign turned negative in the last weeks. Allegations of political “hit pieces” and unfair political practices in the days just before Election Day marred the campaign. But Tuesday evening, when votes were coming in and everyone still iad a shot, spirits were high at the candidates’ election parties. “Letitia! You Go, Girl!” was written on the red, white and blue cake at Moore’s election night gathering. Music played as friends and family gathered to sup- See ELECTION, Page Al3 By James Carter ALBANY — High school students did what they could to celebrate homecom- ing last week, but — for the most part — the community didn’t line up to cheer. There were no floats, not even a pa- rade this year, and some teens, including outsiders, seemed bent on ruining what should have been a festive time. Sanam Jorjani, a junior at Albany High School, was treated for injuries af- ter an egg struck her in the eye Oct. 25. And when the lights did not come on for the powderpuff football game Wednes- day evening, Vice Principal Randall Booker was felled by another flying object. Both recovered from the incidents, though some fear homecoming will not. Despite the loss of houses willing to host float building Monday night, home- No parade, no floats, but plenty of eggs coming seemed to get off to a great start. As cheerleaders cheered and the marching band played, teams of boys en- gaged in a spirited volleyball game at the new middle school gym. Each team gave their all and students roared in support of their classmates in a classic display of school pride. In addition to promoting school spirit this year, Monday’s volleyball game raised money to donate to a homeless shelter, all part of an effort to strengthen ties to the community. Buoyed by the event, students trailed out of the new gymnasium pumped full of school pride. Then a group of young men hurled eggs at the crowd. One egg slammed into Sanam Jorjani’s left eye.

Castro School students create tile mural in their own image By J.R. Deaton EL CERRITO — When artist Isabelle Delloye gets a big idea, it’s really big. Her latest project is a 21-foot by 10-foot tile mural for the entrance of Castro Ele- mentary School. The mural uses nearly 650 tiles handmade by Delloye and drawn and painted by 400 Castro School first- through sixth-grade students. The mural will depict bay views as seen from El Cerrito, including the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate, a San Francisco skyline and Treasure Island. Ships and sailboats will be seen on the water and a plane in the sky will have a trailing ban- ner with Castro School greetings. In the East Bay foreground will be tiles drawn by the students depicting them- selves doing all kinds of activities. Some kids worked alone, while others worked in groups of two to five drawing scenes. Some boys drew themselves playing football, while other kids drew them- selves riding bicycles and horses. Some kids are hiking in a park while others are shown playing or swimming. One group of girls drew tl emselves talking to one another on the telephone and another girl drew herself peeking out from behind a tree. “It’s beautiful — they did incredible things,” Delloye said. Delloye talked to the kids about her general concept and drew parts of the mural herself, but she emphasized that the final work will be the children’s vision. “It was my first experience of this type, so I had to give them some rules,” Delloye said. “But step by step, I realized that some of the smallest (children ) could do beautiful portraits and some of the oldest couldn’t do drawings,” she added. “So I had to make them feel free, and I had to conduct them, in a way.” Delloye said she had to find a balance between the children expressing their in- dividualism while at the same time main- taining the “global” or shared nature of the mural. Delloye is a French citizen in the fi- See MURAL, Page Al3 ISABELLE DELLOYE watches sixth-graders Shineaka Shell and Natassia Walker work on sketches that will be copied onto tiles for a mural.

Her powers vast that if Sims taught in 4s, she'd probably be charged vracticing witchcraft. d the secret of her spellbind- ng skills? Sims respects young peo- ie p and never underestimates their aaa by working class parents t smond back in the 1950s and a gims clings to a memory most 6 mults have lost— she remembers hat it is like to be young. sims remembers sock hops and potball games, homecoming and sh jinks, Elvis and poodle skirts, i cars and boys in leather jackets : shen she WAS a student at Richmond igh School in Richmond. BLORIA SIMS has been at bany High since 1984. Yet Sims says academically, she was an “indifferent” student. “I wasn't very turned on in high school, Sims said. “But my French teacher, she got me excited about learning. She had students come in to her room at lunch. She played opera for us, and exposed us to great art. We learned the city streets in Paris, and all of the great architec- ture there. And living in Richmond— well, that opened up a new world for me.” Teen-age turmoil Yet there are bitter experiences that stain Sims’ recollections as well, memories that continue to frame her views about teaching. “The thing I hated about being a teen-ager is that people always ex- pected you to deny your feelings,” she said. When Sims recalls the days of her youth, one can practically see a fin- ger wagging in her eyes. She remembers being told, “You're not really in love with that boy. That’s puppy love.’ “They just degraded everything,” Sims said. “Parents, teachers, and everybody just said ‘No. What you're feeling isn’t what you’re feeling.’ “And that’s why teen-agers are confused. So I never do that. That’s one thing I never do. I validate every- thing they’re feeling or experienc- ing. And I give them opportunities to talk about it — in writing.” Though as a teen Sims cared lit- tle about school or grades, she re- ceived high scores on college ad- mittance exams and was accepted by UC-Berkeley, where she gradu- ated in 1963. “J just loved literature and I loved everything about college,” Sims said. But coming from a working class background in Richmond, things were not handed to her. “| worked the whole time I was at Berkeley in a San Francisco bank,” Sims said. “I worked every single day HILLS NEWSPAPERS ¢ If the truth be known, Sims teaches with reason I was there. Of course, the tuition was $59 the first year, and it was $83 when I graduated. It was really af- fordable. I mean, even though $59 was a lot back then, I could easily afford it, though my parents didn’t give me any money. Sputnik and school When the Russians launched Sputnik, many young men in the U.S. were encouraged to pursue an education, especially in engineering. Sims married one such young man, and together they had three children. But the ’50s became the ’60s, and things changed faster than most people think. Sims chose a career in teaching. Her instructor was as strict as a gung fu master. “He put us through hell,” she said. “And every day I wish I could kiss his feet, because now, since I’ve been in the classroom, I’ve never been through anything as tough as what I had to live through as a student teacher.” Sims said her instructor taught that you can’t teach in a community unless you know it. “So on Saturday night, we’d have to go to an emergency room and sit and see what our kids were living through. Then on Monday morning we’d have to go to family court and watch young people there.” The young Sims’ feelings were not spared by her tough love in- structor, who would have his stu- dents teach a lesson and sit in the back of the room and taunt them. “Now student teachers always say, ‘well, that class is too difficult.’ It just seems to me the wrong attitude, be- cause now the kids complain and say we don’t have any classroom man- agement.” The key to Sims is to motivate and unleash students. When that happens, there is no need for class- room control. That is classroom con- trol, she said. Nevertheless, she is a FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1999 JOANNA JHANDA GLORIA SIMS, here talking to student Tajveer Singh Aujla, instructs her class in a room decorated with Shakespeare posters. firm believer that teachers must know how to maintain discipline. Sims first taught in the Oakland Unified School District for a total of seven years, including Westlake Mid- dle School. Then, in 1984, she got a job teaching at Albany High. And she has been there ever since. Sims spoke about her experiences at Albany High, especially the past few years, times that she said have been her salad days. Bard business Three years ago, Sims had a group of students she taught for the better part of their high school ca- reers. What Sims said happened is every teacher’s dream come true. “There was an audience of stu- dents that wanted to learn. It was like they couldn't get enough,” she said. “They were always asking for more.” And more she gave them. Com- bining efforts with teacher Laura Mori, and aided by the not-to-be-de- nied efforts of young students deter- mined to make the quest, Sims took her students to Ashland, Ore., to ex- perience the Shakespeare Festival. From that day to this, a group of teens from AHS has made the trip each year. They meet in the fall and raise money and spirits until spring, when they roll up the highway to Ashland. Once there, students watch the performances with rapt attention, knowing nearly every line. That is another of Sims’ skills.

With a handgun leveled just inches from her face, the woman suddenly saw the gunman notice a sleeping baby in a rear car seat. The gunman allegedly muttered something, ran back to the van and fled.

Yet these young students of Shakespeare might surprise you. The only privilege they share is a chair in Sims’ classroom. There words penned 400 years ago speak to them. In Sims’ classroom, students read aloud from Shakespeare’s plays, some wearing baggy pants, puff daddy jackets and oversized shoes.

E-Scrip is an electronic Scrip program where a supporter (you!) registers any or all of one’s MasterCard, VISA, Dis- cover, American Express, ATM, Debit or grocery loyalty (ie; Safeway Club) cards for a $10 annual fee. Support- ers then use their registered cards when paying for merchandise at par- ticipating merchants. The merchant then donates a percentage of the sale to your PTA. For $10, you can sign up one school. If you have children in different schools and wish to split the profits between schools, it will cost an additional $5 per school per year to cover accounting costs.

LOCAL CLINIC PARTICIPATING IN GLOBAL SCHIZOPHRENIA STUDY Berkeley, July 28, 1999 - Berkeley Therapy Institute announced today that they have begun enrolling patients into a clinical trial of a compound being evaluated for the treatment of schizophrenia. The study, known as ILP 3004, is one of several in a worldwide development project known as the ReALIZe program. The study at Berkeley Therapy Institute is part of a clinical development program to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug in the treatment of patients with schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a devastating condition, which affects nearly one percent of the world’s population; schizophrenia is the most common and disabling of all major mental illnesses. Schizophrenia impairs patients’ cognitive functions causing positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and negative symptoms such as blunted affect and social withdrawal. The disease typically strikes in late adolescence, with the onset of gross abnormalities in perception and an inability to feel or express pleasure. The profound incidence of suicide among schizophrenics is a well-documented public health problem. Dr. Robert Dolgoff, primary investigator for this clinical trial at Berkeley Therapy Institute, notes that “despite impressive advances in psychiatry, we still do not have optimal treatment for schizophrenia. As many as 20% to 30% of patients do not respond to, or get unpleasant side effects with, the medications that are currently available. Therefore, research into new modes of treatment is vital for patients battling this disease. Patients participating in this ReALIZe study will receive free study medication or placebo and will be closely monitored on a regular basis by mental health professionals. To be eligible for participation in the trial, patients must be between the ages of 18 and 65, diagnosed with schizophrenia and exhibiting symptoms of the disease. In addition, participants must meet all inclusion criteria specified in the study protocol. To obtain further information about this ReALIZe study, please contact Clinical Trial Coordinator Leigh Pruneau, RN, Ph.D., at (510) 841-8484, ext. 136.

MP vifornia is still the Golden State ql Ca ple still come from there to A here in search of dreams. In the 1850s, thousands of peo- " Je from distant shores made their ay to California and to the gold i felds. In the southern China : rovince of Guangdong, people " xed of the Gum San “Mountain f Gold” that had been discovered 41085 the big ocean in the land of fornia. Sy a yeu-old man named Yee ung Cheung came seeking the Mountain of Gold in 1850, but soon began using his skill as a herbalist io tend to Chinese and non-Chinese miners and others. For more than 50 years, Cheung racticed his healing arts in California and western Nevada, treating both the lowly and the Bt of the California Council for the Humanities’ “Rediscovering California at 150” Chautauqua pre- sentations, last week folklore schol- ar Charlie Chin gave his one-man erformance about the American jife of Yee Fung Cheung at the Contra Costa Civic Theatre. More than 130 people attended the free presentation, also spon- sored by the Friends of the El Cerrito Library and the Contra Costa Civic Theatre. Chin first gave an unscripted monologue in char- acter as Yee Fung Cheung, then answered questions from the audi- ence both in and out of character. “Maybe me too, I want to go see this gold mountain,” Yee Fung Cheung told the- audience. Everyone in southern China was and peo talking about the gold strike “on other side” across the ocean. “This a true thing,” Cheung was told by his many cousins and nephews. The 25-year-old Cheung arranged to leave his wife and four children in Toisan, Guangdong province and left on a ship for the Golden Gate and San Francisco. “Every month I’ll send some gold home so you'll have gold too,” he told his father, who was an herbalist and owned an herb store. Cheung spoke his accented and idiomatic English from a bare stage. The only prop was a small battered table on which were two books, a tea cup, a pocket watch, a wooden herb box, and some tea canisters. Dressed in a traditional long black silk robe, slippers, brimless black cap and holding a white handfan, Cheung told his tale of gold country life with wit and humor. Cheung said the people from China were amazed at all the trees in California. “No big tree” in China he said. Snow on the mountain tops was a new sight for Cheung, but he lamented some California experi- ences: “Too much mosquito here.” After making his way to Sacramento and then into the gold- fields, Cheung soon discovered that digging for gold was hard work. Miners who knew he came from an herbalist family back home began coming to him for treatment of this and that ailment. The young man found it was easier and even more profitable to treat sick and injured miners with his herbs than it was to wrest gold from the earth. Cheung said he made as much gold treating a man’s injured arm in 20 minutes as he did working several days “wash- ing dirt” for the precious metal. “I don’t have to look for gold — gold come look for me,” Cheung told the audience. Cheung was paid in gold and gold dust, and he soon built an adobe cabin, with a doctor’s office in the front, in Fiddletown on the northern edge of Amador County, He wrote home every month — gold was sent east and medicinal herbs were sent west. “Papa — send more herbs,” he wrote, His store and practice pros- pered. Miners worked and fought hard and somebody was always getting sick or injured. “American boy drink too much whiskey,” Cheung observed. Bad diet, bad habits, bad attitudes and bad conditions resulted in plenty of “fist wound” and “knife wound” and cholera and dysentery for Cheung to treat. “They don’t like me because they don’t know me,” Cheung said of the non-Chinese miners, But, he point- ed out, when a man is drowning, he doesn’t ask his rescuer’s name — he just grabs on for dear life. So, over time, people of all races came in need to Cheung’s Fiddletown herb store. His herbs and teas and healing poultices worked on all races and cultures. After a few years, Cheung began thinking about returning home. But then he heard news of the Comstock silver strike near Virginia City, Nev., and his itchy foot again got the best of him. Looking at the audience a little sheepishly, Cheung said “Maybe I go too.” Speaking the words that settled the West, Cheung said “you get used to excitement.” Cheung’s American adventure continued in Virginia City which was full of “rough men” and “rowdy men.” Then a friend told him “those American people going to build big railroad.” Once again, plans of going home to China were forgotten as Cheung made plans for a third store in Sacramento to serve the thousands of Chinese and other workers arriving to lay the Central Pacific tracks. “Wow — somebody FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1999 ay | J AS One-man show offers immigrant’s perspective of 1850s California has to be sick,” Cheung told himself. “I don’t know why American people don’t like Chinese people,” Cheung told the audience. He noted that Leland Stanford, as governor of California, recommended the expulsion of the Chinese and called them “the dregs of Asia.” But then one day, the Chinese cook from the Stanford home rushed through the streets of Sacramento to find the famed herbalist. Mrs. Stanford was suffer- ing a lung disorder and “can’t breath,” the cook told Cheung. Cheung was found playing a game of mah-jong at the Wah Hing grocery store, and he rushed off to his shop to concoct an herbal reme- dy for the governor’s wife. Cheung’s “special tea,” helped Mrs. Stanford and the cook report- ed the next day that “boss lady feel better.” Not knowing Cheung’s real name, the governor’s staff called him Dr. Wah Hing, after the store he was found in that day. Cheung was known as Dr. Wah Hing by non- Chinese from then on. Sometime before 1869, Cheung’s second son, Yee Lock Sam, came to California with his wife and children to become “Dr. Wah Hing No. 2.” Cheung told the audience that by 1904 he was “old man already” and wanted to finally return home to southern China. Yee Fung Cheung retired and returned to China in 1904. He died in 1907, after spending most of his life in California as a “guest of gold mountain.” Cheung’s son stayed on in California and sent for his young nephew, a grandson of Yee Fung Cheung. Yee Fung Chung’s descendants have been part of the California story for four generations and they continue to live in the Sacramento area.

For some reason, I couldn’t seem to muster up enough energy to set aside my inhibitions and act crazy like my peers. But as a senior at Albany High, I knew that it was tacitly expected of me to be one of those Big Bad Se- niors who wreak havoc at night. Af- ter all, 1 am now one of the dreaded upperclassmen. And as a teen-ager in general, I’m supposed to be li- censed in poor judgement and rash behavior, right? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I don’t even know how to drive! I know, how embarrassing. Seventeen years old and no license. But it kinda makes reckless driving a little diffi- cult, doesn’t it? Well, keep bracing yourself because I have another con- fession to make. The only thing that I did with eggs last week was what most people I know do with them — I ate them! That’s right, I actually had breakfast last week. Amazing, isn’t it? I know, how utterly boring and unoriginal. But wait, it gets worse. After the homecoming night activi- ties, I went home like I was supposed to and ... I stayed there! Unbeliev- able, huh? Don’t get me wrong. I too have heard the stories of unruly teen-agers targeting unsuspecting victims with boxes of eggs and bottles of ketchup. Part of me shakes my head at these reports because they are just more ex- amples that perpetuate the myth that all teen-agers are wild and amoral. But before you start calling me a saint or checking my temperature, let me explain the other side of me that envies these people who live it up at night. To put it simply, I envy them because they’re living a high school experience that I’m not. This feeling of missing out on something was a motivating factor in why I forsook my individuality and dressed up as a twin last week. It also helps to explain why I gulped down my embarrassment and wore my mom’s hideously yellow 1970s house dress for flashback day. Heck, I even rolled out of bed and wore my pajamas to school for pajama day. Actually, I didn’t mind that so much because I was comfortable, which is more than I can say for my mom’s polyester dress. Come to think of it, I may have been a little too comfortable in my blue robe and pajamas because I found myself nod- ding off in class more often than usual. Regardless, I dressed up because for a while now, I’ve been worrying that 20 years from now, I’ll look back on my high school years and won- der, “Why didn’t I participate more in the activities?” You see, I recently attended the 20-year reunion for Albany High’s Class of 1979. At the reunion, the for- mer Cougars were kind enough to impart their wisdom to me. Their general piece of advice was to enjoy high school while it lasts because it only happens once. Taking their words of wisdom to heart as best as I could, I even at- tended the night rally in the Albany Middle School gymnasium, where I managed to ignore my inhibitions long enough to scream and shout along with the rest of my classmates. I have to admit it was sort of in- vigorating to cease being an indi- vidual while becoming just another member of the Class of 2000. Last week, I heard a teacher speak of the mob mentality and how it seems to make people act bolder. I have to wonder if that’s what homecoming week indirectly creates in Albany. But for now, the only remnants of homecoming are the bits of eggshell left on the sidewalk and the strained relations between the high school and community. It’s sort of sad to see how something so all-encompassing while it’s happening can disappear so quickly after it’s over. But most of all, I have to wonder: Was it worth it? If you ask me, you'll get a re- sounding “no.” After all, the eggshells will eventually wash away. As for the strained community relations, I’m not so sure. All I know is that grudges have the annoying habit of enduring much longer than anyone would expect. And more often than not, teen-agers are the ones that get short-changed. I should know. I’m one of them, remember? Amy Chen is editor of The Cougar, the student newspaper at Albany High School. All gave some, some gave all By Gary Villalba CONTRA COSTA COUNTY VETERAN SERVICES OFFICER As we honor our veterans of the last Veterans Day of the 20th Cen- tury, I believe that it is appropriate to acknowledge some fundamental truths regarding their sacrifice and service the past 100 years. Our veterans are principally re- sponsible for America being the most free and prosperous nation on Earth. Our veterans served to defend freedom, liberty and our sacred Con- stitution. They never went to war to conquer and subject others to tyranny and suppression. They went to liberate. Our veterans represent men and women of all ethnic, socio-economic, political and religious backgrounds. They have proved time and again that people from diverse back- grounds can unite for noble purpose and cause. Our veterans know the cost of freedom is very high. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died, with hundreds of thousands more re- turning with physical and mental dis- abilities incurred in battle on land, at sea and in the air. Millions of Americans such as the parents, spouses, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends of our veterans have also ex- perienced profound bereavement and loss. Also, we shall never forget the fact that approximately 90,000 POW/MIA's remains are still unac- counted for. Our veterans were essential dur- ing the implementation of the benev- olent American policy to bestow sov- ereignty back to the defeated aggressor nations that were bent on the conquest of other peoples as demonstrated during World Wars I and II. Furthermore, our veterans as- sisted in the generous economic restoration of Europe twice during the 20th century (i.e. Marshall Plan of World War II) and Japan after World War II. Our veterans are an excellent source to locate true heroes. They can be found in most families, neigh- borhoods, places of worship and in the work place. They tend to be hum- ble people who often keep their ex- traordinary and horrific experiences to themselves. Since 1946, the Board of Super- visors of Contra Costa County has supported the County Veteran Ser- vices Offices. They have extended the honor and privilege for my staff and I to be of service to our veter- ans, their dependents and survivors. We look forward to continued ser- vice and advocacy in the 21st cen- tury.: Our veterans represent the most shining example of the American spirit and generosity,. As the saying goes, “All gave some and some gave all.” To all the veterans who served during war and peacetime and to those in uniform today waiting to an- swer the call, thank you and may God bless you and yours. HILLS NEWSPAPERS GENERAL MANAGER * RUTH MARICICH EDITOR * CHRIS TREADWAY ALBANY ° THE JOURNAL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1999 pinion LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give SRO proposal a chance to work Iam writing in response to Dave Greer’s thought- ful and pragmatic column (Journal, Oct. 29) con- ceming the proposed School Resource Officer (SRO) for Albany High School. I thoroughly support the SRO concept and ap- plaud Police Chief Larry Murdo for his efforts and Mr. Greer to alert the community to the issues sur- rounding the SRO concept. My son, Michael Koehn, graduated from AHS in 1993. One day at lunch time when he was a ju- nior, he was attacked, robbed, and thrown to the ground with a “gun” (which later proved to be a very realistic phony) held to his head. The attack- ers were a group of high school dropouts from Berkeley and Oakland. Michael stumbled into the school office and then- principal Virginia Behm gave chase to the assailants in her car. They were eventually arrested by the Berkeley police, and it was determined that the leader of the group had a long history of criminal activity, including beating for hire. I was furious that it was apparently not safe for my son to be on the school grounds. We had always considered our neighborhood and our schools about the safest places atound. I went to the school officials (including Les Rogers, mentioned in Mr. Greer’s column), the school board, and to Chief Murdo. All admitted that outsiders were a continuing problem, and that AHS was right on the corridor between Oakland and Richmond for many unsa- vory individuals and gangs. I asked for increased police presence and did notice, for a time, that po- lice cars were more in evidence around the bas- ketball courts, which is where the incident occurred. But this didn’t last. In addition to this incident, I remember Michael telling me that drug dealing and drug use went on all the time around AHS, and that was in the early 1990s. How could we think it would be less so now? Those who talk of “war zones” and “police states” in connection with the SRO concept have their heads in the clouds and eyes closed, in my opinion. The SRO concept, if carefully conceived, could not only increase the safety of our high school stu- dents, but also serve as a diversion that could stop certain criminal behavior before it occurs. Assuming that the SRO had appropriate train- ing, including counseling and referral techniques, the SRO could be a powerful advocate for troubled young people and could refer them to get the help they might need ,be it drug rehab, family counsel- ing, and so on. I seriously hope that the SRO proposal is given a chance to work. It could spare other families the trauma we suffered when Michael was attacked. Suzanne Stroh Albany More thoughts about lower Solano As a long-time Albany resident and lower-Solano customer, I have three points I'd like to address re- garding the appearance of the street. I believe that in the long run, lower Solano will thrive or not de- pending on how attractive it is for the sort of strolling- browsing customer that typifies this street. My con- cern is with the street tree plantings and the lighting. First, the loss of the big eucalyptus trees was a massive blow to the beauty of the street, one that will be mitigated only slowly as the new trees gain size. However, many of the trees planted are de- ciduous, Albany has much beautiful strolling weather in the winter , and a denuded streetscape will not have the sparkle of leafy trees against blue skies, nor the comfort of fresh green against grey skies, that might have prevailed if evergreen species had been used throughout. Second, it is most unfortunate that at the very time the sidewalk “bulges” at intersections were ex- panded to be pedstrian friendly, the planter-boxes that used to be in these areas, many with beautiful, evergreen magnolia trees, were eliminated and re- placed with solid cement. The intersections look barren and uninviting. Even where cafe owners, such as Grace Baking, have put out benches and tables, it doesn't feel good to be there without the trees. Also, Solano is a business street, unusual and charming in the way it is intimately adjoined to res- idential areas generally just one or two lots away around the corner. It was really nice to have mod- erate-sized, densely green trees buffer the view of traffic and commerce as one looks up toward Solano from the cross streets. Now they are gone and the graceful interface is gone. Here is one vote for cutting a hole right in the middle of the cement bulges and replacing the planters! People used to sit down on them or rest their backpacks there, especially children and our teens. This provided a feeling of the street welcoming lingering pedestrians, of being visited, not just passed by. Finally, the new green street “furniture” (light standards, trash receptacles, benches) is very hand- some, but the bulbs in the lights are rather cold and unpleasant in color. As an extreme example, the lamp just east of the BART overpass is downright blue-violet in color. Why ever was this stark illumi- nation used, instead of the soft, warm rosy glow of sodium lamps? Very similar lamp standards were used in the highly successful development at Fourth Street in Berkeley, but with a warm-toned bulb, and the effect is more attractive. I would hope some of these defects in this oth- erwise beneficial renewal of the city’s infrastructure can be corrected over time. And even more, I hope that as the sewer project is extended east, a dedi- cated effort will be made to save our wonderful trees, both the eucalyptus and the magnolias. Somehow Albany has never learned how to regard its trees as vital. We have seen mature trees hacked down in front of the new high school site just last week! Surely those trees would have been a wonderful or- nament to the new school once it is done. It took decades to grow them. Dare I say, we could stand to learn something from Berkeley about preserving our trees. As to the lights, please no more blue-white bulbs! Ambience is everything on a street like Solano, and the industrial-fluorescent look is not what we want. Julie Graves Albany Thank you to supporters I want to thank all of the people who supported my candidacy for the El Cerrito City Council —vol- unteers, contributors and voters. T also want to thank the wonderful people of El Cerrito who welcomed me into their homes and lis- tened to what I believe were the issues in this cam- paign and the solutions I had to offer. I remember the 95-year-old man on the hill who told me he kept fit by painting his home and stack- ing wood; the woman whose dog Pee Wee barked till the children coming home from school stopped to pet him; the man who had lost his wife of 50 years on Oct. 15 and just needed a hug; the lady who told me the history of her garden and gave me a tour of the ponds and rock waterfalls. As I walked the precincts, I was also struck by the beauty of El Cerrito — our trim manicured homes, our hills with creeks and mini-forests and our beautiful views. I came away from this campaign more than ever convinced that El Cerrito is a city on the verge of a major rebirth. All we need to do is bring the shop- ping amenities that our residents seek else- where to make El Cerrito the home we all want it to be. Bea O'Keefe Hi Cerrito A very big thank you An extraordinary number of new and old friends gave generously of their time, energy and money in support of my campaign for El Cerrito City Coun- cil. An even greater number of you gave me your vote. Thank you to each and every one of you. Your generosity on behalf of El Cerrito and on my behalf is greatly appreciated. Words cannot convey how much you have en- Tiched my life. Ilook forward to working with you and our new City Council in serving El Cerrito. Letitia Moore EI Cerrito Another boring mall I spoke to a candidate for City Council today and was appalled when she said that Bed Bath and Be- yond would be one of the new tenants of the El Cer- rito Plaza. Another stupid boring mall. I have to get in the car to go to the El Cerrito Plaza. I could go just a few miles further to a Bed Bath and Beyond. Why another here? I have just returned from Adelaide, Australia. I loved their city. They had a street closed and used just for pedestrians. There were little arcades lead- ing off with wonderful little shops and loads and loads of interesting restaurants. There was a large department store on this street but it did not dom- inate. This candidate said the stores on the south of the plaza were staying. Good thinking. Kit and Ca- boodle and the Junket are two of my favorite places. Talso like the craft store, the bead store, and the bookstore. See’s candy store is wonderful. I do miss Swenson’s ice cream parlor. I was in Kinabalo, Malaysia, earlier this year and was struck by the wonderful apartment complex that was there. The apartments were arranged around the outer edge, leaving the center open. Under the apartments were small shops and restaurants. The center area filled at noon with people selling from carts. Mostly fresh cut fruit ready to eat. It was so well done. I loved to wonder around it. Spent half a day in the stationary store. We need more small shops not huge stores that one sees in every mall. Look at the suc- cess of Fourth Street in Berkeley.

As alluded to in the article which follows, ERNC has taken an active interest in its neighbor- hood schools. It its the kind of community involvement our schools urgently need dis- trictwide. — Glen Price There are two reasons people care about their neighborhood schools: Because their children are enrolled in them or will be soon. Or because, school-age kids or not, they understand that schools tend to improve, stabilize or drag down their com- munities, But in either case, the smart peo- ple adopt the long view. Because Rich Avalos and Dean Kara- halios are smart people, and because they are school principals, they specialize in long views. They have to. It takes years to develop a capable staff and sound cur- riculum. It take years for children to learn to read, reason, and calculate. It takes years to cultivate productive relationships with neighboring communities, On all of these matters, the principals of Mira Vista Ele- mentary and Adams Middle School had much to say at last month’s East Rich- mond Neighborhood Council meeting. To appreciate Mira Vista’s present situ- ation, you need to know a little about its past. Inthe wake of the 1991 district bankruptcy, our neighborhood's only public elementary school faced declining enrollments and a district administration on the lookout for budget savings through school closures. But thanks to the commitment of par- ents, lobbying from the ERNC, and espe- cially the solid work of MV’s administra- tion and staff, the school doors stayed open to accommodate more and more children. Four years ago, enrollment was at 208. Today it stands at capacity, 383 — ap- proaching a doubling. But as principal Karahalios pointed out, the bottom line enrollment number is only part of the story. When Karahalios started nearly five years ago, one out of every two students lived within the East Richmond neighborhood boundaries. Today, that ratio is two out of three. More neighborhood students mean stronger ties between the school and the community. This in turn builds the syner- gies that benefit everyone. The clearest ex- ample of this has been the successful ef- fort to remove Mira Vista field from the for-sale list, and the subsequent creation of gardens here that serve both as a learn- ing resource for students and as an envi- ronmental preserve for the community. There are others examples: neighbor- hood volunteers help out in the library, as- sist in craft activities, and lend a hand with outdoor projects. But good schools do more than just survive. They help their students make strong academic strides. Two months ago we reported that Mira Vista had chalked up impressive gains in standardized achievement tests. Averaged across all sub- ject areas, its students had increased their scores about 8.5 percent over last year, peaking with a 22 percent gain in math. Nevertheless Karahalios was quick to point out that there remains plenty of room for Small classes Short sessions Individual attention Convenient location Private tutoring Don't get mad.

But Mira Vista’s principal doesn’t mea- sure achievement only through test scores: “1 sleep well. I feel that the kids are safe and nurtured, and that they’re learning here, I like the ethnic mix and the com- munity support. We're going down the right path,” he said. Rich Avalos, Adams Middle School principal, also believes he is leading his school down the right path, but it’s a much tougher terrain. Not only are the students older, sixth- through eighth-graders, but they come from backgrounds that are more varied and, often, more challenged. While Mira Vista draws most of its stu- dents from East Richmond, Adams’ stu- dents come from throughout the city. Of the six “feeder schools” that supply Adams students, five are Title 1 schools; that is, they receive federal assistance because students achieve well below national standards. And while we may appreciate our city’s multi-cultural profile, we must also ac- knowledge its costs: while nationwide 3 percent of all elementary grade students are designated LEP-”limited English profi- ciency”— at Adams the figure is 20 percent. Adams’ students must clear some big hurdles if they are to close the academic gap that separates them from other schools. The good news is that they're doing it. Look at the standardized test scores of sixth-graders, that is, students in their first year at Adams. They rank around the ninth percentile on a nationwide scale. However, average scores of seventh- and eighth- grade Adams students jump to around the 30th or 40th percentile — a remarkable accomplishment. We can see the same trend within a single grade. Seventh-grade students who entered the school the previous year scored approximately 10 percent higher on the Stanford Achievement test than those who entered in the current school year Test scores, however, do not represent how these gains are being made. The im- provement of reading abilities is at the core. A special program known as Read- ing Renaissance stresses the crucial role of reading practice, and harnesses tech- nology to assist in testing and record-keep- ing. It comes down to this: learning to read requires practice, instruction, testing, and more practice. The cycle must be repeated again and again. Lest this sound like one of those prescriptions that everyone preaches but no one follows, consider this: two years ago 50 books were checked out of the Adams library every week. Now 250 books are checked out every day. Of course there is more: after-school tutoring, conflict resolution training, coun- seling, and a growing list of extracurricu- lar clubs. An important piece to the Adams plan is now in development. It will address not the development of skills but rather the kindling of desire, of motivation. It is a cur- riculum reform known as the Adams Academies and Career Consortium. Helped along by the award of a three- year, $1.4 million grant, next fall Adams will open as a school organized into five academies. Quoting from the Adams Mid- dle School News (fall 1999), “the acade- mies will give all students the opportunity to choose the kind of school program that fits their interests and talents.

When the new middle school on Mac- donald Avenue opens in two years, stu- dents who now have to travel long dis- tances to Adams will attend the new school. The new middle school and Adams will have a greater opportunity to estab- lish strong connections to the neighbor- hoods they serve. Going to school can be likened to build- ing a bridge, a bridge that can take the learner from the present to the future. But construction skills alone won't accomplish the task. The builder must also have a sense of where that bridge can take her. This requires an act of the imagination. The Adams Academies —and in a larger sense, all the innovations and effort at both Mira Vista and Adams — are dedicated to fostering that imagination. Remember, the smart people take the long view. Two newcomers win seats Qy West County School Board By Alma D. Velazquez Two names familiar to local edu- cators but new on the political scene won in Tuesday’s race for two seats on the West Contra Costa Unified school district board, ousting an in- cumbent in the process. Patricia Player, who taught for 33 years in West County schools, out- distanced all other candidates, gar- nering nearly 30 percent of the vote with all 101 precincts reporting. George Harris III, a 36-year-old Rich- mond attorney and a product of the dis- trict’s schools, also won, with 21.9 per- cent of the vote, or 10,107 votes. Neither Player nor Harris has served in public office. Adrienne Harris-Pitts, the only in- cumbent in the race, was the closest of the other six candidates, 4,000 votes be- hind Harris. Harris-Pitts had raised the most money of the eight candidates, a fact that in part spurred an organized campaign to oust her. Voters Tuesday faced one of the most crowded fields in recent memory for a district grappling with hefty fiscal and academic challenges. Five of the eight hopefuls for the five- member board had never sought public of- fice. Two were making a second bid for the seeking a second term. Trustee Diane Easton decided not to seek a third term. At the heart of the campaign were is- sues of teacher retention in a district that each year has been forced to replace around 200 teachers; student perfor- mance in a district with traditionally low test scores; and debate over efforts to lobby Gov. Gray Davis to forgive $1.8 mil- lion the district continues to repay each year from a 1991 state bailout. Along with Harris-Pitts, the field included Player; Harris; Kathy Hen- nig, head of purchasing at City Col- lege of San Francisco; Ronald Bolden, an administrator in the Oak- land Unified School District; John Cruger-Hansen, a manager with An- tioch’s public works 4, Dabney, a dean at Cons lege; and engineer ys All of the candida to address better edu district’s 33,000 stude The district has Set, within three to foyr cent of its students fi above the 50th perceny” The district also has. tract in September With teachers, a move gf." can slow the revolt teacher departures a The campaign incl tack on Harris-Pit raising campaign funds it from Contractors » worked on district Die The latest campei i showed Harris-Pitts Taig than $32,000 for her Teele Her nearest compet | raised slightly more tha No other candidate raise $7,500. 7 Homcoming FROM PAGE Al “We all came out of the gym and we were standing there ready to leave, then I looked up and saw three shadows across the street,” Jorjani said. “Eggs started splattering and people started screaming and I felt something hit my eye, so I ran inside. The entire left side of my head was throbbing like if I was hit by a bowling ball,” the 16-year- old said. In a sign of the times, Jorjani spent two hours waiting for care in an emer- gency room. Her iris was scratched and a potentially dangerous blood clot gave rise to concern, but doctors now say she will make a full recovery. “Personally, I love homecoming,” Jor- jani said, though she missed the rest of the week of school. “?’'m not bitter or any- thing. It’s not like they saw me and said ‘let’s damage her eye.” “Tt was clear to us from the beginning that in order for homecoming to be a suc- cess, it would require the support of the entire community,” wrote AHS Principal Gloria Galindo in a letter to parents. “Float building was canceled because neither the senior nor junior classes were able to find anyone to volunteer their home for this activity. We concluded from this that perhaps parents were not en- thusiastic about this activity,” Galindo said. But teachers and students and ad- ministrators tried to give the celebration another go Wednesday night, gathering at the old middle school park for the an- nual powderpuff football game. Though an agreement was made with the city a month before, for some reason that night the lights at the park did not work. Despite efforts to override the timer, which city officials later said was the cause of the problem, students and teach- ers were left in the dark. Hundreds of young people gathered on the field, many grumbling and sus- pecting a deliberate effort by the city to sabotage the event. “Last year the lights did not come on for an hour for powderpuff,” Student Body President Oriana Hair said. “A lot of students thought the city was opposed to homecoming and that they didn’t want it to happen.” Despite efforts to fix the lights, AHS Vice Principal Randy Booker finally gave up and was forced to ask the teens to leave. The news was not well received. Booker sensed a growing anger among many of the students, and called the police as a precautionary measure, A group of students near Booker be- came aggressive, he said. Then suddenly —without warming — a hard object flew through the air and stuck him in the mid- dle of his back. Doctors later said it prob- ably hit his sciatic nerve. “] fell to the ground, and once that happened, the kids left,” Booker said. The following day in school, the young vice principal said “I got a lot of support from the kids. They were angry and up- set that I got hit.” With the parade canceled, student leaders decided to hold the powderpuff game just after noon at Memorial Field on Friday following a minimum day. Enthusiastic and determined to help students salvage the week, Booker offi- ciated the girls flag football game, joined by art teacher Ed Hill. Superintendent Gary Mills was there as well, enjoying the hotly contested games. “A handful of young people caused some serious problems this week,” he said. “Obviously young people were dis- appointed when they couldn't have the float houses and when they couldn't get the lights to work for the powder puff game. “Some folks didn’t handle that very well,” Mills said. “But given the situation, I think the students and the administra- tion have done a good job of pulling The Arlington Community Church cordially invites you to the f ies mm « Vv . £ we 4 .

When I was a kid, it used to be called Armistice Day, to commemorate the day World War I ended. Actually, the Germans sued for peace a few days earlier. But the Allied high command decided for symbolic reasons to delay the ces- sation of hostilities so that the war would officially end on the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. _. Cute, huh? The only hitch was that the killing continued to go on until that 11th hour. Who knows how many hundreds of soldiers died just for a public relations gimmick? As the years passed, the sym- bolic value of Armistice Day gradu- ally faded, as it became clear that World War I was not going to be “the war to end all wars,” after all. So I have no problem with re- naming it Veterans Day. But when I think of veterans, it isn’t the dough- boys of World War I who come to mind; it’s the G.I.s of World War II. In my book, there is no title in the world as honorable as “G.I.” Dukes, earls, princes and kings can all take a back seat to these guys. There should be not one but two new na- tional holidays: Dec. 7 and June 6. (If you have to ask what they stand for, it proves my argument.) Shortly after D-Day, the great war correspondent Ernie Pyle be- gan his column with the words, “In this column I want to tell you what the opening of the second front en- tailed, so that you can know and appreciate and forever be humbly grateful to those both dead and alive who did it for you.” And that’s my purpose in writ- ing this column, too. Bee Curiously, the G.I.s don’t think of themselves as heroes, despite the fact that they have stories that would make your hair stand on end.

Or Col. Robert Morgan, pilot of the B-17 Superfortress, the Memphis Belle, the first American bomber to survive 25 missions over Germany. Or John Togashi of Palo Alto, a member of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Japanese-Ameri- can regiment that earned more medals than any other unit in the entire history of the United States military. Not one of them will admit to being a hero. They always hand me the same line: “I’m no hero; I was just doing my job.” I’ve thought long and hard about why they feel this way, and I think I know the answer. To them, the real heroes are their buddies who never came back. In a way, they’re em- barrassed to be receiving such adu- lation for merely surviving. But they are not the final judges. We — their children, grandchildren and, in some cases, their great- grandchildren — will ultimately make that call. And in our eyes, they are heroes indeed. Bee Besides their modesty, there’s an- other thing these heroes have in common: their infinite gentleness. I have never met less macho men in my life, It’s as if they saw so much violence in the war, they decided to spend the rest of their lives spread- ing peace. Col. Morgan, for instance, has spent his post-war years rescu- ing abused English sheepdogs. Here’s another example. A few years ago I was having lunch at Jack London Square with Mr. To- gashi and four or five other veter- ans of the 442nd. The waitress was having a really bad day. When she brought our meals, they turned out to be stuff nobody had ordered. I was all for sending the food back to the kitchen. But Mr. Togashi and his buddies demurred. “So what if it isn’t what we ordered?” they said. “It’s still edible, isn’t it?” Finally, it hit me: When you’ve done what they’ve done, you don’t have to push an overworked waitress around to prove you're a real man. Bs There was a reason why the 442nd Regimental Combat Team earned so many medals: They were given the most dangerous jobs to IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. TAKE THE FERRY.

As a Japanese-American unit, they were deemed expendable. Most of them had volunteered from euphemistically termed “relo- cation camps,” where they and their families were imprisoned for the duration of the war. Never mind that they were American citi- zens. Or the fact that not one inci- dent of Japanese-American spying or sabotage ever took place during the whole war. Their officers above the lieu- tenant level were “haoles,” which is a Hawaiian term for Caucasian. Some of officers were very good, such as the 442nd’s beloved commanding of- ficer, Lt. Col. James Hanley. But others were very bad, such as Maj. Gen. John Dahlquist, com- mander of the 36th Infantry Divi- sion, of which the 442nd was a part.

Ac- cording to author Lyn Crost in his book “Honor by Fire,” Dahlquist used the men of the 442nd as can- non fodder. He didn’t care how many of them got killed, as long as it meant good headlines for him. The most shocking example was the 442nd’s most famous exploit, the rescue of the famous “Lost Batallion” near Biffontaine, France, on Oct. 27-28, 1944. The Lost Batallion was a unit of 211 Texans who had gotten trapped behind German lines. The only way to rescue them was to charge up a steep mountain, with the Germans heavily entrenched in well-con- cealed positions on top, pouring everything they had down on the heads of the 442nd. It was a suicide mission, and everyone knew it. Crost said Dahlquist didn’t want to waste his own men in the 36th, This special features is a great opportunity to promote yo - Holiday Crafts ¢ Antique Arts Fair e ficliday Bazas! a The Holiday Boutique will be published every Thursday & Friday SL November 4 through December 24,1999 in ace The Montclarion ¢ The Piedmonter oe Berkeley Voice * The Journal oy Alameda Journal ¢ Family Fair ae with a distrioution of 113,500.

And they did it. Against all odds, they made it to the top and rescued those 211 Texans. But they lost more than 800 in the process. Think about that for a second. Losing 800 to rescue 200? It defies all military logic. If the 442nd had been comprised of haoles, instead of Japanese-Americans, can you imagine Dahlquist would have is- sued that order? A few days later, Dahlquist in- vited the press to take pictures while he held a dress parade in the town square to celebrate “his” big victory. Only a fraction of the men of the 442nd turned out for the pa- rade. Incensed, Dahlquist angrily rebuked their officers for spoiling his photo-op by not turning out more of their men.

Campus FROM PAGE Al sesses needs for all grades from K-12. Others opposed to the SRO pro- posal argued there is a great need for more counselors both at AHS and district-wide, including those with expertise in conflict resolution. Sev- eral speakers also cited the need for more traffic officers to enforce speed limits on busy arteries like Marin and Solano Avenues as well. At least one speaker questioned how AHS students would feel about the presence of an armed officer on campus. Former mayor Bob Nichols said the meeting showed how “polarized” residents are regarding views about what a police officer is and does. He spoke about the benefits de- rived from Drug Awareness Resis- tance Education, a program offered to young people by Officer Ron Ben- net. “This is the greatest thing,” he said, asserting the need for young people to get to know police officers personally. The proposed SRO program would give kids a chance to confide in someone they could trust, Nicols argued, Many supporters of the proposal said young people need to learn to trust police officers and see them as friends. An officer at AHS would do a lot to accomplish such goals as well as provide counseling and conflict resolution, they opined. Several residents pointed to re- cent reports of violent incidents at AHS as compelling reasons to sta- tion a police officer there. They as- serted that the very presence of a po- liceman might prevent a serious FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1999 incident from occurring. Others, however, pointed out there were armed guards at Colubine when stu- dents were murdered there. “This is not Pleasantville,” one woman said, while others asserted that “Albany does not exist in a bub- ble.” Several SRO supporters chided opponents to the program, individu- als they characterized as having a “60s-like” view of cops. “I am not anti-police,” said Karen Carlson Olsen, a recently appointed member of a special panel to study the SRO proposal. But she nonethe- less questions the proposal. “T question whether the district should spend $100,000 for an armed police officer at Albany High before they take a systematic look at what is needed for all schools, grades K- 12,” she said. “Would counseling be more ben- eficial?” she asked, noting that cur- rently there are only two counselors at AHS, both of whom spend most of their time dealing with college-re- lated issues, But long time resident and local merchant Ray Anderson asked if a dollar value could be put on the life of a child. If one student’s life was saved by having an SRO at AHS, it would be worth the cost, he said. Anderson said years ago the in- tersection at San Pablo Avenue and Buchanan/Marin was unsafe. There were compliants, he said, though nothing was done. A little girl was killed there crossing the street, he said, adding that a traffic light was subsequently installed. Other opponents of the SRO pro- posal said there is an effort to justify the SRO program instead of an ef- fort to study student and district needs, establish goals, then develop a program to accomplish them. Police Chief Larry Murdo was questioned about specific provisions of the proposed SRO contract in- cluding its costs, and the fiscal re- sponsibilities of the district under the contract. He was also asked Murdo if there would be any penalties if the district “pulled out” of the program, an op- tion proponents said existed under terms of the contract. “A grant is a contract, and con- tract law always presumes good faith between parties,” Murdo said. “If the recipient arbitrarily and capriciously withdraws from the conditions and terms of the grant, they can be held responsible.” Carlson Olsen said the contract Election FROM PAGE Al was chicken and chow mein and high hopes.

The question of whether or not city reserves should be used to reduce the bond amount was dis- cussed, but no decision was made. A part of the staff report that dis- cusses how other communities, in- cluding Mill Valley and Richmond, have used community fund-raising for civic facilities was missing from Brusatori’s information packet. Brusatori was able to read the in- formation during last Monday’s meeting and said it was helpful, but she said more staff work was nec- essary. Early in the meeting, Brusatori gave City Attorney Howard Stern a campaign door flier supporting City Council candidates Janet Abelson and Letitia Moore that she said vio- lated fair-campaign practices. Brusatori said the piece did not identify what group paid for the piece as required by city ordinance. “Frankly, I cannot sit here very comfortably and go forward at this time. I would like to wait until we have the election tomorrow. I would like to wait and see who’s on the council,” Brusatori said after voicing her concerns about the staff report and what she called a campaign “hit piece” mailed out late last week. “I would like the people who put out that piece to really think about if what this is what we want to do in El Cerrito,” Brusatori said before making her motion to table the Swim Center bond measure issue. When it was his turn to speak, La Force said he thought Brusatori was going to refer to a campaign piece from the Kathleen Perka camp. That piece was available at Monday’s meeting and is a drawing of Perka carrying a flag and taking the high road while opponents Abelson and Moore and others follow “king” La Force and carry a bucket of mud. “Mean spirited nay sayers” a banner reads. La Force talked about the Swim Center funding issues, but noted that at least four of the five council mem- bers have to approve the measure for the ballot. “I have a hunch that there’s not going to be the four votes here given the motion to table,” La Force said. An earlier motion to table the mat- ter was supported by Brusatori and Damon.

USS. District Judge Maxine Ches- ney did not say when she will rule on the state’s bid for an injunction blocking the proposed merger be- tween Summit Medical Center in Oakland and Alta Bates Medical Cen- ter in Berkeley. East Bay residents would pay more for hospital care if the medical centers are allowed to merge, a lawyer for the state Department of Justice told a federal judge Monday. But lawyers for the hospitals said the merger would help maintain choices for consumers by saving Summit from bankruptcy. They also argued that hospitals in Contra Costa and elsewhere would still provide plenty of competition. The comments came during clos- ing arguments of a five-day trial in which state antitrust lawyers asked Chesney to block the merger. Chesney will get a few more writ- ten documents from both sides, then issue a written decision. The two hospitals, which are just three miles apart, struck the merger deal almost a year ago after months of negotiations. Sutter Health, a Sacramento- based hospital system that already runs 26 facilities, including Alta Bates, agreed to acquire Summit and operate the combined facility as Sut- ter Health East Bay. Both sites would stay open, and Sutter promised to pour $450 million into improvements at the two facili- ties during the next 10 years. The Federal Trade Commission accepted the deal, but California At- torney General Bill Lockyer decided to go to court, arguing that it would violate antitrust laws. “The merger of Summit will sub- stantially lessen competition for acute hospital services in the inner East Bay,” Lockyer’s deputy, John Donhoff, told the judge during the closing argument. “The parties them- selves and their customers admit it, their competitors swear to it and the economic analyses prove it.” By gob- bling up its biggest competition in the area, Sutter will be able to raise prices at Summit, which now pro- vides cheaper services than Alta _ Bates and provides a check on price increases, Donhoff said. The situation would only worsen if Kaiser closes its Oakland hospital, which could happen as early as next year. Projecting copies of documents onto a big screen in the courtroom, Donhoff showed Chesney a series of memos from insurers and employ- ers saying they were concerned about hospital price hikes and other problems if the merger goes through. Donhoff even used Sutter’s own documents against it, at one point showing a fake Monopoly game board produced by the chain during an earlier takeover of Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. Across the middle, the board bears the legend, “The East Bay Monopoly Game.” Donhoff also produced a memo in which one official from the chain ad- vocated a “take no prisoners” pric- ing system. “Looking underneath the testi- Kensington School sets garden party fund-raiser Kensington Hilltop Elementary School will be holding its annual fall fund-raiser, “The Garden Party,” on Saturday evening, Nov. 13.

Because people do not want to travel far to get their health care, hospitals over the hill, such as John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, or across the Bay in San Fran- cisco provide little real competition, he said. To buttress that argument, he pro- duced documents written by Sum- mit as part of a 1996 bond issue. They describe Alta Bates as the hos- pital’s “primary competition,” and do HILLS NEWSPAPERS not even list facilities in Central Con- tra Costa or San Francisco as being in the same service area. Lawyers for the two hospitals, on the other hand, insisted that the merger won't result in higher prices because competition for patients will remain intense. Even within the small “inner East Bay” area defined by the state, there are now 10 hos- pitals “competing vigorously,” said George Manning, a lawyer for Sut- ter Health. But that service area is “much too narrow,” Manning said. “There is no such thing as the in- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1999 ner East Bay market,” he said. “It is artificial and contrived.” In fact, Manning maintained, competition extends well beyond the Oakland-Berkeley hills, About 18,000 patients a year come into the inner East Bay from other areas to get hos- pital care, and 11,000 residents of the inner area go to hospitals in other parts of the region, such as John Muir, he said. “Those patients are not stopped by the hills, the tunnels, the bridges or the Bay,” he said. And in the broader region, there is no shortage of competing compa- nies, he added. In Alameda and Con- tra Costa counties combined, for ex- ample, there are 21 hospitals repre- senting 13 health care systems, Manning said. “It’s not about what somebody at Sutter may put in a memo,” Manning said, obviously referring to the state’s use of the company’s own docu- ments. Manning and the lawyer for Sum- mit, Maureen McGuirl, argued that far from harming health-care con- sumers, the merger will help them by maintaining services at Summit.

Buyers too, who had never been exposed to the system, are suitably impressed by what is involved. ' Much has changed since I started in real estate. Consumer awareness, government regulations, higher costs are all markedly different today. But agents are probably about the same. People being people, some are pro- fessional, thoughtful and innovative while some won't ever be. I went to work almost 35 years ago as a secretary with a Berkeley real estate company. I was in my early 20s, hoping to work at something uplift- ing. Real estate just didn’t fit my de- finition. It seemed not very profes- sional, even sleazy. I was surprised to come to love and respect real es- tate done well, to enjoy the people, the projects and the results. * That was probably because I landed an unusual situation. The agents I went to work for, all men except for a woman who sold houses part time, completely fascinated me. They did not resemble my image of real estate salesmen. These were well educated, well read, lively and intel- ligent people. They specialized in selling apart- ment buildings, primarily in Berke- ley. A number of the firm’s repeat clients bought existing buildings, then divided them into smaller units which they rented to students. For some of these clients, buying, con- verting and managing buildings be- came a profitable full time business. Our office was filled with creative Sit frequently say, as they By Tarpoff and Talbert electricity. Agents were devoted to their clients, constantly thinking of clever ways to obtain property for them, reduce their income tax oblig- ation and plan for their future. These good agents taught me proper real es- tate etiquette, persistence and inven- tive problem solving. I learned how to project from a current income-and-ex- pense statement for a particular prop- erty expenses, income, tax benefits and appreciation for a new owner. As I typed everything that left the office, I learned what a purchase con- tract contained and when tax-de- ferred exchanges were used and why. In those days there were no dis- closures, no formal inspections. We had a one-page purchase contract on which we filled in the address, of- fering price and loan information. The buyer signed it once at the bot- tom. If changes were made, buyer and seller initialed hand-written cross-outs. Agents also filled out buyers’ loan applications, then called three or four lenders before agreeing to the low- est available interest rate. Usually i Marc A.

TARPOFF, TALBERT & DELPHEY ested in house sales. I liked looking at houses. Where investors were only interested in return on investment, house buyers were looking for home. It was in the late 1960s and prices were lower. I remember being very excited to have a client who could afford to pay $40,000 for a house. That was a high price. I showed him a big, old brown shingle house on Benvenue in Berkeley, then a simi- lar house just over the Oakland bor- der on Hillegass. Property taxes were lower in Oakland, I pointed out, but he wasn’t willing to buy outside of Berkeley. In those days, I couldn't get clients to buy in Rockridge. Agents didn’t always “cooperate” with other agents on their listings. Each day I would call on the new ads in the Berkeley Gazette and ask where the property being advertised was located and how it could be shown. Often I was told that the list- ing was an “exclusive.” We weren't allowed to show it or sell it. Multi- ple listing was young then and many listings were kept in-house.

GRC Director Kelly Costa says that the call-in program is one more step toward the goal of creating an environmental economy in Berkeley: “The idea behind the GRC is to pro- vide information and guidance on appropriate building technologies and materials, and encourage sus- tainable community development.

Mastrangeli, the Grubb Co.’s Y2K compliance ex- pert, was asked to head off any po- tential glitches in the firm’s computer system as the year 2000 approaches. Mastrangeli Winans Construction ranks in top 500 Qualified Remodeler magazine has named Winans Con- struction, Inc. of Oakland to its 21st annual list of the top 500 national leaders in remodeling. This is the firm’s eighth consecutive year on the list. Being named to the top 500 signifies that a firm has worked hard to establish its cred- ibility and has improved the indus- Winans try through overall professionalism. Winans construction specializes in residential remodeling, new resi- dential construction and historic restoration.

Mastrangeli’s goal: Devise a net- work for 34 real estate agents ac- cessible from work and off-site. According to Mastrangeli, the task had its challenges: “We needed to make the change with the least amount of disruption to the every- day working of an active office,” Mastrangeli said. “There is no op- portunity for down time in this busy marketplace.” The results of Mastrangeli’s ef- forts: 15 new computer stations with state-of-the-art equipment, including the ability to send documents directly to photocopiers and DSL lines, giv- ing agents and office staff instant ac- cess to the Internet and the multiple listing service.

Know the risks Doing work without a permit can have serious consequences, One East ian Francisco Bay homeowner hired Real Estate Forum By Dian Hymer “Without permits, the appraiser wouldn't give full value...” a contractor to convert a shed to a studio apartment for his daughter to live in. The contractor did the job without a city building permit. When the property was sold, the seller dis- closed to the buyer that the work was done without a permit. It’s the law California law requires that home- owners disclose to prospective buy- ers any work they have done with- out a permit. Before going through with the sale, the buyers talked to a city build- ing inspector to find out what it would take to make the converted shed into a legal structure. Unfortunately, the structure was so far from code that the only eco- nomically feasible alternative was to tear it down. Consequently, the seller had to lower his price to reflect the loss of the apartment and the cost of demolition. Before you commit to buying a home, get a history of the permits on the property from the city building department. If permits for significant work are missing, ask the sellers for an explanation. 'Find out how this can affect you. You may incur costs if you buy a home that was renovated without permits. For example, let’s say you that plan to remodel the kitchen and you plan to obtain the required build- ing permits. What if? If a city building inspector finds code violations from past work when he’s inspecting your kitchen remodel, you may have to correct these vio- lations before the inspector will sign off on the kitchen project. You might also be liable for penalty fees. Appraisers often want to know that significant renovations were done with building permits. One couple found this to be the case when they sold their home in the Oakland hills. They had added a } Permits protect you from appraisal woes bedroom, a bath and a family room without permits. The addition dou- bled the square footage of the house. Appraisal suffers Without permits, the appraiser wasn't willing to give full value for the improvements. So the property appraised for significantly less than the purchase price. To keep the sale from falling apart, the sellers took out permits which involved paying penalties. In order for the city inspector to con- firm that the work was done prop- erly, some walls had to be opened to expose plumbing and electrical work. The sellers’ efforts to save money by bypassing the permit process ended up costing them much more in the long run. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security if you dis- cover that the building department isn’t enforcing the permitting process. This policy could change.

One of these Realtors called me last week to ye her a quote on the cost of fix- ie steps. The prompt sale of 4 house hinged on my report. The Realtor’s urgency led me to jieve that the problem would be # an old house and rickety inte- rior oF porch steps. Not so. when I arrived at the property, I 05 surprised to find the house rel- aS new — it is about four years id and located on a street of homes fsimilar vintage. The Realtor escorted me through the well-kept two-story house to the hack yard. It had been graded so that itwas level for about 30 feet, then sloped very steeply down to a flat nlay area near the property line. On this steep Slope, the seller had in- alled a series of brick steps, but jad not used a totally uniform pat- tem for the individual steps. Firm Foundation By Don Pearman “She seemed skeptical when | told her that, as three other contractors had told her the opposite...” One step was about eight inches high and 18 inches deep, and the next was seven inches high and 16 inches deep, with variations of that sort for most of the steps. About halfway down, one step was about 16 inches high and deep, making it rather hard to step up con- veniently. It looked more like a ter- race than a step. In addition, the lower steps had been installed wy a pitch closer to the slope of the {|| than the level ones of the UppEpart; this pitch made navigating thsteps even more strenuous, for one t,ded to fall for- ward walking downnd lean back- ward walking up. The Realtor was ve; upset — she had consulted four cotractors and three had said that the Sps were not up to code and would hav¢o be fixed, and that the bill woulding in at $11,000. The sellers were yotivated. I explained that the step were an improvement on the origin) grade for getting down the slop, even though they were terribly heven and difficult to navigate, it semed a terrible waste of money to x an improvement. “What about code?” she askd.

Saturday presentations cover fi- nancial and other resources for co- operatives, keys to successful coop- erative development and the personal experiences of those recently involved in developing new cooperatives. For those already part of cooper- atives, the first day focuses on strengthening their organizations. Speakers will share experiences of cooperating with other co-ops to in- crease purchasing power, reduce en- ergy costs, create a source of green energy and contribute to the growth of cooperatives. A workshop on capitalization strategies explores methods for building equity in cooperatives for stability and growth. The Saturday presentations cover a variety of top- ics for the cooperative board of di- rectors and other decision makers, including legal issues, tools for ef- fective governance, financial matters and monitoring performance.

She seemed skeptical when I told her that, as three other con- tractors had told her the opposite. The buyers, being attorneys, one of whom specializes in real estate law, were nervous about litigation, asking “What if a child fell down the steps?” If a child were to fall down those steps, whoever owned the property would be liable for the child’s in- juries.

Wildly un- even steps were less of a hazard than a set of regular ones with one step half an inch taller than all the others.

Margaret (510) 81 r v VJ MP HILLS NEWSPAPERS « FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 1999 Wilson FROM PAGE B1 Alameda We see a similar story in Alameda. The Alameda Free Library was built in 1902 at 2264 Santa Clara Ave. at Oak Street with money from the Carnegie Foundation. This elegant *yellow brick edifice was designed in a Roman Renaissance version of the Beaux Arts style. Alameda’s old main library has Corinthian columns across a tall, shallow portico, and a traditional “open book” motif in a medallion set into its pediment. The interior is breathtaking in its Edwardian opu- lence, with a barrel vaulted, coffered atrium, supported by Corinthian columns and five ornate stained glass skylights. This turn-of-the-century jewel no longer houses the main library. Last year, the library was moved to a tem- porary facility, leaving the old build- ing vacant. Alameda voters will de- cide next year whether to restore the old library and use it as the main branch into the new millennium. San Francisco The fate of San Francisco’s old Main Library building, sadly, has not been so kind. It was designed in 1916 on Polk at McAllister Street by George Kelham, who later was ap- pointed the University Architect for the Berkeley campus, where he de- signed such landmark structures as the Life Sciences Building. It is a prime example of the Beaux Arts movement, which was the style used on all the other civic center build- ings, including City Hall across the plaza from it. Several years ago, the library’s board of directors decided that their old building was no longer a suffi- cient facility to meet the demands of the growing collection and its tech- nology-savvy patrons. They also felt that the cost of earthquake retro- fitting the old building was too high for it to be worth their while to ren- ovate it for use as a branch library or auxiliary facility. Library directors abandoned the main library site and construct a new, state-of-the-art facility several blocks away. Ironically, since the Main Li- brary moved to its new site a couple of years ago, it has been plagued by problems such as inadequate stor- age space for its collection, anda confusing floor plan that leaves many patrons frustrated in their search for information— complaints rarely lev- eled against the old facility. The 1916 structure sat empty for g) _A{ old Mountain,’ . the Ultimate Backyard.’ uttiful sites. Beautiful sights, bea 0). look and youll see why ‘ . Alameda library on Central is part of the old Alameda High School. a few years until a seemingly ideal solution was found: The new Asian Art Museum, which was temporar- ily being housed in part of the old de Young Museum’s facility, agreed to do an adaptive re-use of the old Main Library so they could moye into the building in 2002. At first, everyone seemed satisfied with this plan. Unfortunately, a controversy erupted when the details of the Asian Art Museum’s adaptive re-use pro- posal became known to the general public. The museum’s directors de- cided to remove the most important and beloved feature of the interior of the old building. This was the se- ries of 14 huge murals known as the “California Symphony.” “California Symphony” was cre- ated by the renowned Italian Amer- ican muralist Gottardo Piazzoni be- tween 1929 and 1945. It was the result of a collaboration between Pi- azzoni and architect George Kelham, who sat down together at the top of the library’s monumental staircase and envisioned how best to decorate the large wall area beside it. Kelham designed a mammoth log- gia of Italian Renaissance columns and pilasters at the top of his mag- nificent staircase. From this vantage point, visitors could look out onto Pi- azzoni’s noble scenes of California landscapes, such as “The Land,” “The Sea,” “Forest,” “Mountain,” “Dawn” and “Evening.” The artist said his intention was to create a noble experience akin to | thousands of wildflowers, trees birds | and animals have chosen to live at Gold | Mountain.

Tragically this unique synthesis of architecure and painting no longer exists. “California Symphony” was removed, along with the loggia above it, this spring as part of the re- modeling of the old library building in preparation for housing the new Asian Act Museum. This act was the final step in a long-running battle be- tween San Francisco’s preservation- ists and the directors of the museum and their supporters.

KATHY BAKER/STAFF THE OLD CARNEGIE Library on Saata Clara Avenue in Alameda will be retofitted next year. The new murals, the San Francisco Architec- tural Heritage group filed a law suit against the Board of Supervisors in hopes of getting a court order to have the murals returned to their original location. This suit may be moot by now. since the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco announced its proposal in September to place the murals in- side of the facilities of the planned new De Young Museum building. This is the same monstrosity of 1960s style minimalist architecture which I criticized in last week’s column. For obvious reasons, this space would be a wholly inappropriate setting for such a magnificent piece of San Francisco’s architectural heritage. So it seems clear that on balance, city officials of the East Bay have done a much better job of preserv- ing and adapting their historic pub- lic buildings than have their coun- terparts in San Francisco. As the new millennium approaches, preserva- tionists can only hope that the City by the Bay learns to respect its own cultural heritage more than it has in the latter years of this millennium.

Although my agent friend had never seen the inside of the house, he wrote an offer anyway .and delivered it directly to the seller. The first agent demanded that his offer be signed right then and there. He threatened that if it wasn’t, he was going to tie up the property in a law suit. The second agent was equally positive that his offer was better and should be signed. Tempers flared; shouting ensued. There were about 15 people in the room all giving their opinions on the ethics and legalities of the matter. After an hour or so of wrangling, the seller, noticeably worn down, an- nounced that he didn’t want to take the chance of being sued.

As we all filed out the door that night, there was considerable grum- bling about the winning agent’s un- mannerly coercion. (My company in- stituted a disciplinary action against the agent, but he still got the sale.) At that time, multiple offers were not common, but occasionally when a property was underpriced, they would occur. Agents didn’t know un- til they got to the presentation how many other offers there would be. Sometimes they would write two offers’ at two different prices, then decide after arriving (when they knew how many offers there actu- ally were) which one to present. Sometimes, too, they’d get their buyer to sit outside in a car so that if a counter offer was issued by the seller, they could run right out front and get the counter offer signed be- fore any other agent could get his own buyer’s signature. (I can’t imagine anything like the above situations being repeated to- day.) While much has changed since I started in real estate, one thing is for sure; every agent has more respon- sibility, more liability and a great deal more paperwork to complete.

On Friday the all-powerful high school sports authority revealed what’s in store for local high school sports programs for the new millennium. The biggest surprise of all may be that the new alignment makes a lot of sense. As the cloudy crystal clears, the fu- ture reveals Berkeley and El Cerrito as rivals in a new “big-school” league, while Albany and St. Mary’s are stay- ing almost the same in a “small-school” eague thanks to the realignment of- ered by the North Coast Section brain rust for the millennial school year 2000-2001. Having Berkeley and El Cerrito to- gether makes sense in some ways. The two are public schools in cities that ge- ographically touch. Many of the people from both places know each other. They are moving into a new seven- team league with Alameda, Encinal, De Anza, Pinole Valley and Richmond. Actually, it’s Pinole Valley and Berkeley that are moving into a rem- nant of the current Alameda Contra Costa Athletic League. It will take a while to see how that works out for teams in different sports from the two schools. Berkeley High has a huge athletic program compared to schools any- where in the state, let alone the coun- try. But size and strength do not always coincide. A quick look at sports such as football, basketball, baseball and softball shows that neither Berkeley nor El Cerrito will totally dominate the other or the league. El Cerrito, which draws athletes from the Richmond Unified School District, has a better football team than anyone involved in that league right now, while the Yellowjackets have su- periority in girls basketball. That won't change. The Berkeley and El Cerrito boys hoop teams may be comparable this year after the graduation of Andrew Gooden and pals from the Gauchos team that was a state runner-up. Base- ball and softball could be dead even, but it’s hard to compare sports pro- grams that are playing in leagues that don’t really have similar competition. In other sports it is a tossup or it doesn’t really matter. The El Cerrito and Berkeley’s soccer teams seem pretty even, but Berkeley has sports such as crew, lacrosse and field hockey that have no competition in the league. El Cerrito has already seen what it can do against most of the other Schools in the new league and Berkeley should have no trouble fitting into the mix, One thing El Cerrito athletic direc- tor Frank Milo didn’t like was the fact that there are seven teams. An uneven amount creates a bye week somewhere in the middle of the football season, When it’s hard to find other quality teams to play. “To me an ideal league has eight league games and two practice games,” Said Milo, who also doubles at the Gau- chos’ football coach. “It’s going to be tough to get a good game during the Season,” Milo wasn’t all that pleased being back in the league with Berkeley. El €rrito was one student over the limit ‘0 be classified as a smaller school in 2A football and Berkeley is obviously one of the larger 3A schools around. Small school change The changes for Albany and St. ‘arty’s will not be too drastic in what '8 being coined a “small school” league With nine teams in all. They are joined by current ACCAL members Holy ames, Kennedy, Piedmont, St. Eliza- beth, St. Joseph and Salesian. New aces on that scene are John Swett of See FUTURE, Page C2 STEVE MASLANKA USC’S MATT MCSHANE, left, greeted former St. Mary’s High School teammate John Romero (73), now at Cal, after Berkeley's 17-7 win over USC on Saturday. McShane’s bittersweet return to Berkeley Former St. Mary’s High standout finds college football a frustrating ride By Scott Strain It has been a bittersweet year so far for Matt McShane, a graduate of St. Mary’s College High School, who now attends the University of Southern Cali- fornia and plays center on the football team. He was projected as the starting cen- ter by USC coach Paul Hackett in the preseason. He does not start. The Tro- jans were projected to be one of the top teams in the Pac-10. At 1-5 in the con- ference, they are not. McShane is a se- nior, and this is his last go-round with USC. He had hoped for better. “I was pretty much the starter last year and to come in this year and not play as much is pretty rough,” McShane said. “You want to do whatever best for the team and you want to believe what the coaches are saying. I’d like to come out on top and have a few more wins, but the coaches feel we’re better off for me to be in this role. I can accept that.” McShane, who is listed at 6-foot-5, 300 pounds, played about half of the first half See MC SHANE, Page C2 Cross country titles come down to the wire for Panthers and Lady Panthers By Peter Mentor How close can a cross country race get? When all five scoring runners from two teams finish with the exact same point total, it doesn’t get much closer. Well, yeah it does when the outcome is for a league title and the race comes down to a sixth runner. That’s just what happened last week in the third of three Alameda Contra Costa Athletic League races. The boys title came down to a tiebreaker, while the girls race was de- cided by a single point among the top three teams. First, the St. Mary’s girls varsity won its race by a single point to sweep the three league races and take the regular- season crown outright. Bridget Duffy won the race in 19 minutes, 54 seconds and the Lady Panthers won the overall team race 39-40 over Piedmont. Alameda was a close third at 41 points. Lady Panthers Chrissy Chavez (5th, 21:18), Chelsea Torgersen-Bell (8th, 22:03), Flo Larkin (11th, 22:32) and Bria McGuire (16th, 23:18) had to give it their all to beat an up-and-coming Piedmont squad. The boys race was even closer and it figured to be even before the start. St. Mary’s won the first boys varsity race of the season on Piedmont’s course Joaquin Miller Park and the Panthers were sec- ond overall at the second meet on the Point Pinole course. Piedmont finished second in the first race, then placed first at Point Pinole, tying both teams for the league lead going into the final race. The winner of the third race at Tilden Park was going to take home league ti- tle. St. Mary’s and Piedmont had all five of their scoring runners in and the points added up to a tie at 43 points each. That meant the entire league season was going to come down to the sixth man. The Highlanders’ sixth guy was faster than the Panthers’ sixth guy and the ti- tle went to Piedmont. Now St. Mary’s can only hope to win the ACCAL Champi- onship meet for half of the honor of league champion. “We lost on the sixth man. It was very closes,” said St. Mary’s coach Dan Keubler. “We had a couple of guys who finished dead even at the line (with Pied- mont runners). It looks like we’ll have to get them at the league meet,” Piedmont’s Tom Phelps won the 3- mile race in 16:27 with Alameda’s Nathan Brassmerry second in 16:57. St. Mary’s girls win, boys lose by a hair St. Mary’s Rudy Vasquez ran a good race for third place in 17:02 and the race was on for the team title. Piedmont had the next two runners in Nathan Cox (17:06) and Crosby Free- man (17:07), the latter who moved form No. 6 man to No. 3 in the course of the season. Nick Maniatis, Sean Geraghty, James Ross and Greg Williams were the next four finishers for the Panthers. Maniatis and Geraghty were one place behind Piedmont runners, which was enough for Piedmont to catch St. Mary’s in the team scoring. The Highlanders’ sixth man Evan Ep- stein was the next guy in among the two teams and that sealed the victory for Piedmont. Alameda finished third with 64 points, followed by St. Joseph-Notre Dame in fourth (65 points), Albany (152 points) and El Cerrito (184 points). Gauchos swat down Hornets Undefeated El Cerrito rolls to its ei ehth win after beating hapless Alameda 51-3 By Bill Kruissink The undefeated and high-scoring El Cerrito Gauchos met the winless and struggling Alameda Hornets at Thomp- son Field in Alameda Friday afternoon. Given the parameters of the contest, the results were predictable. The Gauchos (8-0 overall, 6-0 in the ACCAL) had 20 points on the board be- fore the first quarter ended. By the time the buzzer sounded announcing the end of the game, the Gauchos had a 51-3 win in hand. Playing in warm fall weather, the Gau- chos scored six touchdowns on the ground, including an 11-yard run by David Rose (12 carries for 122 yards) fol- lowing an Alameda (0-8, 0-6) turnover on its first possession, and two in the air. Quarterback Joe McBride hooked up with Jason Washington for a 20-yard touchdown strike, then hit Ricky Gate- wood for a 55-yard pass and run before the first quarter ended. “We knew we had a better team, but it’s coming out and proving we're a better team.” Joe McBride “We knew we had a better team, but it’s coming out and proving we're a bet- ter team,” said McBride, who completed five passes for 135 yards. “Last week against Albany, we came out flat. This week we had to have a different mind set.” After the first quarter, El Cerrito went on to score five more touchdowns. But in between, Alameda’s Conor Patterson got Alameda on the scoreboard with a 47-yard field goal. See GAUCHOS, Page C2 St. Mary’s wins again, by George George rushes for 200 yards and 3 TDs in a 34-6 victory over Richmond By Joe Wolfcale Sophomore running back Tristen George recorded his second consecutive 200-yard game as St. Mary’s High School (5-3 overall, 5-2 ACCAL) overwhelmed Richmond (5-3 overall, 4-2 ACCAL) 34- 6 in Alameda Contra Costa Athletic League play Saturday afternoon. Last week against Kennedy, the 5-foot- 9, 160-pound sophomore gained 258 yards and scored three touchdowns in a 50-14 win over the Eagles. Against Rich- mond, George had 29 carries for 200 yards and scored three touchdowns. George, who scored on runs of 72, 8 and 13 yards, has been filling in for se- nior Eddie Smith, at one time the lead- ing rusher in the regional statistics. Smith injured his shoulder against El Cerrito on Oct. 15 and aggravated the in- jury the next week against Kennedy High on his first carry. That gave George his opening to the starting spot, “When I moved up to the varsity, I just figured it would be my job someday any- way,” said George. “There’s really no ex- tra pressure on me. | think the whole team feels it. Since Eddie went down, we just need to play solid for four quarters.” St. Mary’s coach Dan Shaughnessy said Smith will be examined by Sharks team physician Arthur Ting this week, and the results of the physical could de- termine Smith’s status for the remainder of the season. Shaughnessy said arthro- scopic surgery is a possibility. “Tm playing it like Eddie won't be with us,” Shaughnessy said. “I’m just hoping we can run the table from here on out.” Richmond senior running back Lionel Arnold had 74 yards on 11 carries and one touchdown, a 5-yard bolt for the game’s first score. Quarterback Chris Dixon completed 10 of 17 passes for 117 yards. Besides George’s touchdowns, St. Mary’s scored on a 3-yard run by quar- terback Mike Smith and a 24-yard pass from Smith to Andre Kidd. The Panthers scored 20 points in the second quarter and led 27-6 at halftime. St. Mary’s was to have a bye this See ST.

Mike Bercovich knows this saying well. Bercovich was a summer intern for the Raiders in 1998 and again this year. Part of his duties involves knocking on doors or phoning play- ers to tell them they were no longer in the team’s long-range plans Whatever the method of delivery, Bercovich gives the message that every player fears — “Coach wants to see you — oh, and bring your play- book.” In other words, football’s way of telling a guy he’s fired. “Naturally, some of the players are upset,” said Bercovich, a 1998 Piedmont High graduate. “This year we had a five-year player who kept " moving down the depth charts. (The cut) was tough for him.” Bercovich stayed with the team this year through the final cutdown. He has since returned to school at UC-Davis, where he is double major ‘in political science and economics. For Bercovich, though, working for the Raiders was simply a natural. “I’ve been a huge Raiders fan for years,” he said. “My family has a rich sports history. Through my grandfa- ther’s personal friendship with Mr. (Raiders owner Al) Davis, I got to see first-hand what it was like be- hind the scenes.” Bercovich’s grandfather, Sam Bercovich, is well known and re- spected in East Bay business and sports circles. Sam Bercovich, through his fam- ily furniture business, sponsored youth baseball teams. Some of the players from those teams, including Frank Robinson, Curt Flood and Vada Pinson, went on to major- league stardom. Sam Bercovich is also on the com- mittee of the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. In addition, Sam Bercovich is a Raiders die-hard with strong con- nections to the team. “He’s been traveling with the team for about 29 years,” says Mike Bercovich. “He has no official capac- ity, just a team ‘friend.’ My grandfa- ther has been retired for about 15 years now, but whenever a Raiders player needs furniture, he still has connections in the furniture business.” Mike Bercovich looks to carry on his family’s sporting tradition, He played basketball and golf at Pied- mont High School. As a Raiders in- tern, he received an up-close view of the football business that most fans will never experience. “I was basically an intern for the coaching staff,” said Bercovich. “My boss was Mark Artega, administra- tive assistant to head coach Jon Gru- den. Most of our duties came through Mark. They included copy- ing the game plan to give to the play- ers to put in their binders.” Hard part The most difficult part of the job, though, were the summer cut-down days. The Raiders, like most other teams, don’t have any one designated person who has to deliver the bad news. Bercovich was just one of the members of the staff that had to han- dle this somber side of the business. “T don't really know that we have anybody who would be considered ‘The Turk,’” said Bercovich, refer- ring to football’s term for the person who brings the dreaded words to the player about to be cut. “The person- _nel department has to cut a certain amount of players at a certain time.” Cutting a player is an involved process. “They have to see the personnel de- partment, the trainer, the coaching staff, and we have to make sure we get the playbook back,” said Bercovich. “Then we send them back to the hotel and tell them of their flight plan.” Part of Bercovich’s duties also in- volved driving the cut player to the airport. “(The reaction) ranges,” he said. “Some of the guys who know they’re being cut are glad to get out of there so they can maybe find a better op- portunity somewhere else. “Some of the younger players in the last cut weren’t quite sure what to do next. It’s the first time they’ve ever experienced this stuff.” Many of the players have a sense what the knock on the door or the phone call is about. The players cut earliest were generally not surprised. The hardest cut was the ‘ast, which took place after the Raiders’ final preseason game with Arizona. “After that game, we had to drop from 70 from 53 players,” said Bercovich. “We had to cut some high- talented rookies and some veterans who had been around a long time.” Given his experience gained as an intern for the Raiders these past two seasons, would Bercovich con- sider a career in sports management? “I’ve definitely thought about it,” he said. “I’ve seen everything from executive to finance to legal, but it definitely intrigues me.” One of Bercovich’s options after receiving his bachelor’s degree is to go to law school. Sports, of course, has its legal aspects as well. “Maybe I could be a lawyer for the Raiders,” he says. “I could defi- nitely see myself doing this for the Raiders or another organization in the future.” At least the company attorney doesn’t have to bring bad news to players in training camp. Future FROM PAGE Cl Crockett and St. Patrick-St. Vin- cent of Vallejo. On the surface, that league will be overwhelmed by St. Mary’s in many sports. The Panthers have the best football team, basketball, baseball and track teams. The Al- bany girls volleyball will not lose its dominance in that sport. Before any judgments can be made, the whole picture has to be seen. This league, which is kind of a smaller version of the old Catholic Athletic League, has more girls sports than the CAL that came before and those have to be taken in to consideration. “Tf you look at all the sports in- clusive it’s a healthy league,” said St. Mary’s athletic director Dan Shaughnessy. “A lot of thought went into the women’s sports when we were setting up this structure.” The new alignment tries to pre- serve friendships and rivalries be- tween schools. Holy Names High of Oakland had a sister-school rep- The biggest surprise of all may be that the new alignment makes a lot of sense. utation with St. Mary’s High that turned to a friendly rivalry after the latter went from an all-boys school to including girls to the mix five years ago. That friendly Mon- archs-Lady Panthers rivalry will not be lost. “Holy Names and St. Mary’s have an allegiance there that we did not want to sever,” said Shaughnessy. “They’re compati- ble.” Shaughnessy said other rivalries for St. Mary’s, including those with El Cerrito and De Anza, will still exist as well. In football, St. Mary’s will only have five league games because three of the schools don’t have football, so there are more preseason games. That leaves room to pick and choose non- league opponents. “We're not going to give up our association with De Anza and El Cerrito,” said Shaughnessy. “We’re not going to give up a healthy ri- valry. In football we’ll schedule those games (in the preseason). We’ve developed an association with those teams. It’s not a con- tract, it’s more of a trusting hand- shake. Our preseason is going to look a lot like the regular season.” All the leagues are based on ge- ographical boundaries so that teams do not have to travel long distances, which cuts down on transportation costs. Money is a driving factor for many of the decisions the section makes. Milo said his teams would still be playing St. Mary’s — and not just because the rivalry was good. The gate, he said, was even better. “The league is based on geo- graphical location,” said Milo. “I’m not really gung-ho on it. I think certain schools will keep certain relationships. In football, it’s good from a financial standpoint.” McShane FROM PAGE Cl *in-USC’s 17-7 loss to Cal at Memor- -ial Stadium last Saturday. He shares time at center with junior Eric Den- “mon, who at 6-1, 255, is quite a bit » Smaller than McShane. It’s a little hard to justify putting ' the smaller Denmon in for McShane. The USC offensive line had a terri- ble game against Cal, allowing nine ~ quarterback sacks. The Trojans’ of- * fense had over 400 yards, but only Scored seven points. “Usually what happens is that (Denmon) will start the game, and then I'll come in for a couple of se- ries,” McShane said. “We'll rotate back and forth, depending on how the coaches read the flow of the game. Sometimes we have to break the flow of the rotation. “Cal’s defense played really hard. They keep coming, keep coming and keep coming. I didn’t see anything in, their front or their scheme that “If I have another football option, sure, I'll give it a try. ’ve been playing football all my life and I’d hate to give it up. I’d take a look at anything that is out there.” — Matt McShane confused us at all. It was just a mat- ter of them playing hard and want- ing it more than we did.” With his career winding down at USC, McShane hasn't yet given too much thought to life after USC. Aca- demically, though, he will be pre- pared. “I haven't thought too much about what happens next. I’ve tried to con- centrate on my senior year and in May I'll graduate with a business de- gree and a minor in economics,” he said. “After the season, we'll take a look and see if I have any more foot- ball options. I don’t know what will happen, but I’ll have my degree. “Tf I have another football option, sure, I’ll give it a try. I’ve been play- ing football all my life and I’d hate to give it up. I’d take a look at any- thing that is out there.” McShane played on the St. Mary’s varsity for two years with Cal center John Romero, McShane played right tackle and Romero played right guard for Dan Shaughnessy’s Panthers. “We talked a bit after the game,” McShane said about seeing Romero. “Tt been a tough year for him — he’s been hurt some and hasn't started.” It has been a tough year for these two St. Mary’s grads. They'd like to go out as starters and victors, but that may not happen. “Hot Action” BE ACK J ACK: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1999 Berkeley elation deflated by penalt Yellowjackets’ go-ahead score called back on aj penalty for blocking in the back in a 33-21 loss to By Mike Wood PLEASANTON — Reggie John- son sprinted 37 yards and crossed the goal line as the Berkeley High School sideline erupted with cheers. But the celebration for what looked like a go-ahead touchdown against Foothill was silenced by the sight of a yellow flag. Instead of a score, the call helped the Falcons come away with a 33-21 East Bay Athletic League win. Johnson’s run was negated when the Yellowjackets’ Tyrone Williams was called for blocking in the back on Max Cutrone with 2:52 left and Foothill holding a slim 26-21 lead. Instead, Foothill wrapped up the game seven plays later on Jan An- derson’s 3-yard touchdown run with 40 seconds left. It was a haphazard game in which each team proved to be its own worst enemy. - The Yellowjackets (2-4-1, 2-2-1 EBAL) were penalized 12 times for 129 yards. Three other calls against Berkeley were declined. The Falcons (6-1-1, 4-0-1 EBAL) had some pretty impressive offen- sive numbers. But they turned the ball over three times and gave up nine points on special teams plays. One of Foothill’s turnovers put the Yellowjackets back in the game. The Falcons owned a 26-15 lead and had eaten up a good portion of the fourth-quarter clock when quarterback Robert Knox dropped back to pass. Knox was hit by Berkeley’s DeJuan McDonald and he fumbled. Berkeley’s Daniel Moore scooped up the ball on the bounce and raced 50 yards for a touchdown that cut the lead to 26- 21 with 5:24 left.

After driving from midfield (running back Ryan Smith had a 13-yard run), Alameda stalled at El Cerrito’s 30. On fourth down, Patterson ripped the ball through the uprights — and, for good measure, another 10 yards. Last week against De Anza, Pat- terson provided Alameda’s lone points with a 25-yard field goal. Back to work But then it was back to work for the Gauchos’ offense, which came in ranked second in the East Bay, av- eraging more than 44 points a game. Operating from good field posi- tion all afternoon, the Gauchos tal- lied touchdowns on their next four possessions to go up 45-3. The last two touchdowns in the sequence were scored by Rose, the first on a 23-yard run following a re- covered fumble by Clarence Hamp- ton, the second on a 50-yard break- away through the Alameda backfield. Alameda answered by driving to the El Cerrito 10 on a 54-yard punt return by Robert Domholt with 1:54 to go in the third period. The return was aided by a loud block by Jack Pearl, who leveled two would-be tacklers around the 25. But one play later, El Cerrito’s Stewart Brown picked off a pass at the 1 and returned the ball to the 31. With El Cerrito coach Frank Milo moving players in and out of the lineup (Gatewood took over for McBride in the third quarter), the Gauchos scored two series later when Laronn Gray escaped a tangle of tacklers to go 55 yards and into the end zone with 4:35 to go in the game. By the end of the contest, seven different Gauchos had carried the ball — six for positive yardage — and four had caught passes. For Alameda, Smith rushed for 83 yards on 14 carries. But Alameda turned the ball over four times, two on fumbles, two on interceptions. “If we eliminate mistakes, we'll have a smooth running offense,” Ryan said. “The turnovers are killing us We move the ball don The Hornets may hare ’ ball, but not into priney The Gauchos have nots the ball, but they've spe time in football’s high reed called the end zone, E] Cerrito has anothers this afternoon agains fea Richmond at 3:30, The fa overall, 0-6 ACCAL) areyg anemic as the Homets by lose 18-6 to Albany (445 4-1 ACCAL) last week El Cerrito learned thiy it would be in the North (jg tion 2A playoffs, insteadd after the NCS reclassifie the teams last Friday.

The price for a base ES 300 is $31,405. Dealer reaction has been “outstand- ing,” according to Lexus executives, who believe that shoppers who may have never considered buying a Lexus will now give the brand a closer look. Much of that enthusiasm is due to the fact that Lexus is launching the car with a six- cylinder engine. Many manufacturers of- ten introduce a brand new car, particu- larly small models, with a four-cylinder, then offer an optional larger engine, but Lexus decided to go with the bigger pow- ertrain right from the start.

The Insight, which goes on sale in December, earned an EPA city rating of 61 miles per gallon and highway rat- ing of 70 mpg, outdistancing several diesel-powered models by more than 20 miles per gallon. In addition to its outstanding mileage rating the Insight also meets California’s stringent Ultra Low Emis- sion Vehicle standard. The Insight features Honda’s Inte- grated Motor Assist (IMA) system, combining a 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder gaso- line engine with electric motor assist for improved efficiency. The electric motor is powered by a nickel-metal hy- dride batter pack. The IMA system au- tomatically recharges the battery pack, using energy generated during brak- ing. As a result, the Insight does not require an outside source of electric power and never needs to be plugged in. A two-seat coupe, the new model has an aluminum body which is about 40 percent lighter than a comparably- sized steel body. It also meets all cur- rent U.S., European and Japanese safety standard, and 2000 safety stan- dards for side impact and head-injury protection. Convenience and safety features in- clude variable assist electric power steering, ABS brakes, power windows, mirrors and door locks, AM/FM stereo- cassette player, an, Immobilizer theft- deterrent system, remote keyless en- try, electronic instrument display and air conditioning is an option. The Insight is expected to sell for less than $20,000 at U.S. Honda deal- erships. Minivan milestone DaimlerChrysler will celebrate 16 years of minivan success this month. The occasion will be marked by the expected sale of DaimlerChrysler’s eight millionth minivan worldwide. “Over the past 16 years, we’ve in- troduced 38 minivan firsts to the seg- ment without walking away from the formula that’s made us successful,” said Frank J. Ewasyshyn, Daimler- Chrysler’s senior vice president of ad- vanced manufacturing and general manager of minivan operations. “W have more minivan firsts up our sleeves and don’t plan to give up our overwhelming popularity in the seg- ment,” he added. BMW delivers A unique individualized new vehi- cle delivery option is being offered at the new BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg County, S.C. The delivery program provides cus- tomers with a complete automotive ex- perience — a tour of the $1.3 billion state-of-the-art BMW Manufacturing facility, a visit to the Zentrum museum, a thorough introduction to features of their new vehicle, and specialized dri- ving instruction by professional dri- vers on the performance center’s dri- ving skills course. Delivery at the performance center can be arranged through BMW deal- ers and is available on all BMWs sold in the United States., both those pro- duced in Germany and in South Car- olina. Customer orders for German-built models need to be placed at least 11 weeks in advance of delivery, while South Carolina-built models require at least eight weeks. Honda reports record sales The American Honda Motor Co., Inc. announces an all-time record for model year sales, totaling 1,087,468 cars and light trucks for the 1999 model year. This is the first time in company history that the one million mark has been passed. The company finished the model year with best-ever September sales of 91,04 units, up 9.7 percent from last September. IntelliChoice chooses Civic Honda’s Civic has earned the honor of the Best Passenger Car Value and Best Overall Car Value among all used cars, according to studies by IntelliChoice Inc., an independent research firm. IntelliChoice calculates the rela- tionship of the purchase price and the total five-year cost to own and operate a vehicle in order to determine its value. For model years 1996-1998, 2,400 car, trucks and sport-utility ve- hicles were evaluated by the company to establish the best overall value. Already the best-selling small car in the United States, the Civic has received the honor of Best Passenger Car Value and Best Overall Car Value for used cars for two of the last three years. Batten down the Hyundai Capable of producing wind speeds of nearly 125 miles per hour, Hyundai Motor Company’s newly opened ae- rocoustic wind tunnel is one of the most advanced facilities of it type. The heart of the wind tunnel is a huge 27-foot fan powered by a 2.5- megawatt motor producing 3,400 horsepower. The range of tests that can be con- ducted with this wind tunnel is second to none, according to Hyundai officials.

The decision will give Volvo 20 per- cent of Mitsubishi’s truck and bus op- erations. The Swedish automaker is also adding the truck and bus opera- tions of the same country’s AB Scania. The combination of the three com- panies will create the world’s largest manufacturer of medium- and heavy- duty trucks and buses, It is also expected to increase pres- sure on DaimlerChrysler to buy trou- bled Nissan Diesel Motor Co. In a complicated stock deal, the al- liance will combine Volvo’s strength in medium-duty and especially heavy- duty trucks and buses in Europe, North America and South America, while Mitsubishi has a stronger presence in light trucks and in Asia. EPA masses for principle The Environmental Protection Agency, in an opinion submitted to a federal appeals court, claims Massa- chusetts should be allowed to convert agreements between car companies and California into legally binding stan- dards in the state. If accepted by the court, the imme- diate impact would be modest. Au- tomakers would be obligated to deliver a few thousand zero-emission vehicles to Massachusetts. Industry official say a more impor- tant principle is at stake that the opin- ion would set a dangerous precedent. “The Clean Air Act never contem- plated allowing one state to seize on the voluntary agreements of another state and treat them as standards,” said Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. The Alliance is asking the agency to reconsider its view, and has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Cir- cuit in Washington to block the opinion. North American Auto Writers Syndicate Phones FROM PAGE D1 Records indicate that driving while phoning is as risk laden as driving while drunk. Furthermore, there is no difference in danger between using a hand-held cell phone or one that is hands-free. The problem lies not with the phone but with the split in driver attention. I have written before about the limit of attention. Research by a psycholo- gist has put a number on it. Dr. George A, Miller discovered that we can en- tertain in consciousness 7+/- 2 — the scientific way of saying five to nine — “chunks” of information at one time. We can learn to do complex things be- cause chunks are made up of many bits of information. Experience teaches us to organize them well. Learning to use a manual gearshift, for instance, involves what at first is a bewildering constellation of things to attend to. Move the shift level just so and come off the clutch pedal and press the accelerator, synchronizing the actions so that the engine neither conks out nor bucks like a rodeo horse. All this while steering around a pot hole, keeping an eye on the truck ap- proaching at right angles and check- ing to see if the traffic light is red or green. Not to mention watching if the ball rolling into the street is followed by a child. That could overload our allotment of 7 +/- 2 if we weren't able to re-chunk most of it to “shift gears” or “drive” switching focus as necessary to some suddenly-demanding occurrence (Say the truck running that red light or three dogs pursuing the ball.) Good drivers know how to allot their limited attention to stay on top of any situation. Maybe as they ap- proach a complicated interchange on the highway, they turn off the radio to lessen the chance of distraction. Maybe they shush a conversation or stop lis- tening. Now give those drivers cell phones. If they get engrossed in a phone con- versation, attending to the information they are receiving — and planning what to do about it — their driving goes on automatic. That’s okay much of the time on an Interstate highway with just routine wheel holding, but if intricate maneuvering is called for, or traffic is thicker and more erratic, at- tention allotment is quickly over-sub- scribed and the risk factor soars. Heed these points: @ Be aware of your attention limi- tations. Train your attention to flick back and forth quickly from one focus to another. Don’t let it stick, however interesting something might be. @ Realize however good you get at rapid shifts of attention, you'll never be perfect. And the split second that you're attending to something else may be the split second difference between having a crash and a near miss. Clearly, the safest car phone user is the one parked out of the flow of traf- fic. You know that, but the temptation to use the phone while underway is great. With a cell phone your car be- comes a private phone booth. If you insist on making it a rolling phone booth here are some thoughts: @ Realize that what you are doing has been outlawed in some places. @ Assess the risks involved weigh- ing them against the few minutes you save by not stopping. @ When stuck in a stop-and-go crawl, use the phone for quick, direct messages: “I’m stuck in traffic and will be late”. @ Have numbers you call either in your memory or the phone’s. If fiddling with business cards is involved, forget it. @ Always let the person you're talk- ing to know you’re on a car phone. Then if an emergency arises they will understand your tossing the phone aside. Anyway they might say, “Oh, this can wait. Call me when you stop some- place.” @ If you are into long, nattering calls just to pass the time, please (es- pecially if you are behind me) give the car ahead double the room, because it might take you double the time to col- lect yourself and stop. Lexus FROM PAGE D1 * Positioned as an affordable, rear-wheel drive performance sedan, the compact IS of- fers plenty of luxury touches. The profile is simple, low, and well-defined, with the en- tire body styled to present a crisply tailored yet racy, wedge-shaped silhouette. The engine — no word yet on its dis- placement — sits back behind the front axle line while the battery and fuel tank are placed toward the center, providing a low center of gravity and better weight distrib- ution. Aerodynamic shielding on the under- carriage provides an excellent airflow and creates a virtually flat-bottom ground effect similar to that of a race car. While the front headlamps are not a breakthrough in design, their angular positioning gives the grille area a tidy, polished look. Inside, the sporty emphasis is on the matte chrome chronograph-style combina- tion gauge on the instrument panel, sports seats, and a three-spoke steering wheel. The most eye-catching innovations are the brake, clutch and throttle pedals that are drilled with a series of holes, reminiscent of older race cars. The center console sweeps up from the armrests between the seats to the top of - the dashboard for a cockpit effect in the dri- ver and passenger area. _ With one of the shortest rear decks in its category and a roofline that practically ends at the taillights, the IS provides ample glass area for the rear window, while the trunk can nevertheless offer 14 cubic feet of cargo space. The interior compartment has plenty of room for four passengers and, a tighter fit, five.

At present only one model, the four-door sedan, will be avail- able, but if it proves popular, a coupe may follow. Since Lexus has already proved it can at- tract younger, affluent buyers with its pop- ular sport utility, the $33,000 RX 300, the ad- dition of the 2001 IS compact is no shot in the dark, but a natural evolution of one of the company’s goals: Find a niche and fill it.

Engine improvements This already excellent engine has been refined through use of new in- take and exhaust manifolds. These refinements and others have boosted the horsepower by 32 and also pro- vides an additional 12 ft/lbs of torque. The GXE comes with a standard five-speed manual transmission should improve its performance even more. If your driving is mostly around town and commuting then the automatic is the way to go. Both of us enjoyed using the man- ual with its short throws making shifting a pleasure. The four-speed automatic is a smooth unit that compares favorably with the competition. One of the nice features of the Maxima is that it comes with four- wheel disc brakes and an anti-lock braking system as standard equip- ment. We tested the brakes and found them superior. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is another standard feature. It provides excellent road feedback and adds to the sporty handling of he base car. Maxima’s styling over the years has been more aggressive than the other mid-size imports and domes- ic models. The latest design contin- ues the trend. The front end treat- ment definitely tell onlookers that it is a Nissan. The rear end styling is somewhat controversial, and we be- ieve the SE’s smoke colored tail- ights are preferable. Look inside The interior of the Maxima has been improved. The 2000 models of- fers a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase (in- creased from 99.6 to 102.0 cubic feet). Front seat head room and front leg room have been increased, and the rear leg room is up 1.9 inches. Trunk space has been increase .6 cu- bic feet, from 14. to 15.1. It proved a pleasant surprise when we sat in the rear seat. Even with the driver’s seat nearly all the way back there was plenty of legroom. Rear passengers also have plenty of headroom. The right side of the 60/40 rear seat folds forward to allow long objects to be stored through the pass-through.

It’s simple. You get exactly what you see - a rugged, rock-solid, full-size truck. Other sport utility vehicles pretend to be anything but utility trucks. They hide behind new-millennium designs. They’re minivan sport utes, or off- road wagons, or merely massive arm- chairs on all-weather tires. Tahoe takes a decidedly old-fash- ioned stance. Even with a total, wheels-to-roof redesign, the 2000 Tahoe retains its heritage, back to the good ol’ yesterdays when an SUV was an SUV. Tahoe is like an old Clint East- wood western in a lineup of space- age shoot-’em-ups. It’s a suburban ranch home in a city of country club condos. It’s an all-beef patty instead of tofu surprise. Built on the platform of the Chevy Silverado pickup, Tahoe retains the look of a truck - boxy shape, broad shoulders, square nose. The logo on the grille is hardly necessary - you know it’s a Chevy. Inside, although well stocked with a complete com- plement of luxuries, Tahoe continues the Chevy tradition of rather plain and unassuming interiors. Yet, Chevy engineers modernized Tahoe where it counts. Tahoe employs a rigid three-piece modular frame, five-link coil spring rear suspension rather than tradi- tional leaf springs, real-time suspen- sion damping, and self-leveling rear shocks. I’ve always appreciated the way full-size Chevies seem to glide over off-highway trails, but Tahoe’s updated structure smoothed the off- road performance even more. Here are more improvements which should interest every buyer of a full-size SUV. A third row bench seat creates seating for nine passen- gers like Tahoe’s competition. But un- like the competition, Tahoe’s split- fold (as well as removable) design CHEVY PHOTO THE CHEVY TAHOE is a heavy beast of more than 5,000 pounds. When used to its fullest capabilities, it demands a gutsier engine. maximizes cargo and passenger con- figurations. Tahoe’s taller build also adds two inches of head room over the com- petition. In fact, Chevy increased in- terior room from the old model in al- most every category including headroom, hip room and leg room, while only slightly increasing vehicle height and width. Although entry still tends to be tight, rear seating is roomy for three adults. Cargo doors now access a whopping 108 cubic feet of cargo space when both rear seats are re- moved. New Vortec V8 engines have in- creased power and torque, yet are more fuel efficient. The standard 4.8- liter Vortec boasts 275 horses. Un- fortunately, torque has decreased to 290 pound-feet. It performs efficiently for most lightweight workloads. How- ever, Tahoe is a heavy beast of more than 5,000 pounds. When used to its fullest capabilities, it demands a gut- sier engine. The 5.3-liter kicks out 285 horses and 325 pound-feet of torque. Com- bined with the 4.10 rear axle, Tahoe tows 8,800 pounds of trailer - 2,000 pounds more than its predecessor. It takes only a few moments of seat time to experience that newly refined power. Combined with a smooth four- speed automatic transmission, Tahoe roared over highway and hills with spirited ease. Chevy’s Special Z71 Package cre- ates the ultimate off-road workhorse. The optional package adds a heavy duty suspension, beefier springs, shocks, jounce bumpers and standard stabilizer bars for firmer off-highway performance. Also included is a nec- Women: Know how to handle shoddy car repairs car all day, especially with that armlong “to do” list, but after retrieving it, paying $397, and you discover that the problem has- n't been fixed! It’s annoying, it’s frustrating, and it’s one of the top consumer complaints — cars that are not repaired right the first, I: was bad enough to be without your sick second, or even third time around. There are several roads to choose from to get the repair done right. You can storm back to the repair shop, hurl epithets at the ser- vice writer or technician, tell them they have a brain like a stump, and threaten that, if they don’t fix your car right this time, you’re going to scream. You could take the vehicle someplace else and try your luck again. Or, you could return immediately to the repair facility, speak to the owner or manager, and calmly and clearly explain that the problem was not fixed and you want it corrected — pronto. I strongly recommend the latter course of action. If the problem is not corrected to your satisfaction, you can always file a complaint, but try the following measures first. @ Give the shop a chance to correct their error or oversight. Honest mistakes do hap- pen. Remember that technicians are people, too. The mark of a good repair shop is not do they get it right every time. Today’s cars are too complex to expect that. It’s what the repair shop does if they don’t get it right. Do you get the property line guarantee? That’s the one where you get to the end of the prop- erty line, and they guarantee they never want to see you again? Or do you get a genuine guarantee that means the repair shop stands behind its work? In other words, they’ll cor- rect the unsolved problem and won't charge you more for redoing it. To help your cause, stay cool. You don’t By Mary Jackson works. have to be disagreeable to disagree. Be clear and specific about what you want. Request that the manager or shop foreman road test the vehicle with you to demonstrate that the problem has not been corrected. Keep accu- rate records, including all receipts. Itemize everything that happens, Include what was said and who said it. Date every piece of per- tinent material and phone call. @ If you are not satisfied with the results of your second try, send the Better Business Bureau a copy of a letter stating the problem or contact the Consumer Protection Agency (often,a division of the state attorney gen- eral’s office), Ask them to refer you to a lo- cal complaint-handling panel. Get as much information as possible about how the panel @ If the problem occurs while your car is under warranty, contact the manufacturer’s customer service representative. You’ll find their telephone number in your owner’s man- ual. If you are still not satisfied, call or write the manufacturer’s district or zone represen- tative (their name and telephone number should also be listed in your owner’s manual). Document the details of the problem and ask the representative to meet with you to discuss them. If you do not get a satisfactory response, file a claim through one of the au- tomobile arbitration programs. 8 To 34 Available Mary Jackson is the author of “Car Smarts”, published by John Muir Publica- tions.

Weekdays better for breathing By Denis Cuff CONTRA COSTA NEWSPAPERS Think you breathe the dirtiest air on week- days when all that bumper-to-bumper traf- fic fills the sky with auto exhaust? Think again. You’re more likely to breathe unhealthy air on weekends, researchers say. They sus- pect a shift in the pollution cycle is linked to changes in the type of pollutants, evolving traffic patterns and certain weekend activi- ties. “You probably get 5 to 10 percent higher ozone levels on the weekends in the Bay Area,” said Rob De Mandel, research section manager at the nine-county Bay Area Air Quality Management District. “We don’t re- ally know why, but have a lot of ideas.” A new generation of less reactive formu- las for gasoline, industrial chemicals, paints, hair sprays and other products take longer to react in sunlight to form ozone - the key compound in smog, researchers say. Pollutants spewed out Friday may take until Saturday to turn into smog. The Friday night “weekend getaway” is starting earlier and lasting longer, giving a head start to Sat- urday, officials say. Changes in the pollution mix also may be a factor. “Tf you alter the mix of the building blocks of smog, it has a tendency to speed or slow down reaction that forms it,” said Joe Cass- massi, chief meteorologist with the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Fewer diesel trucks and equipment oper- ating on weekends also reduces oxides of ni- trogen, which can destroy ozone molecules early in the day before turning into ozone later on. build up,” Cassmassi said. of pollutants, officials say. up in the suburbs. “When you have a NOX-rich environment on weekdays, the ozone doesn’t have time to On weekends, more people use boats, power mowers, airplanes, personal water- craft, barbecues and paints rich in reactive organic pollutants that readily form smog. The weekend pollution shift doesn’t oc- cur everywhere in California. It apparently doesn’t happen in San Joaquin Valley com- munities because they have a different mix In the Bay Area and Los Angeles regions, however, controlling weekend smog has be- come a major obstacle to meeting air qual- ity standards. Regulators say they need pol- lution reductions from throughout those regions to keep weekend smog from piling 95 eee Accent Auto Priced to Sell Lic# 3NVH899 haus Heit The Cars More Americans Trust Choose From Silverados essary locking differential, wheel flares and skid plates. As a bonus, GM’s wonderful OnStar communi- cations package comes standard with the Z71 pack. What’s all this stuff mean? When combined with a spacious 10.7-inch ground clearance and Au- toTrac full-time, push-button four- wheel-drive, the Chevy Tahoe Z71 becomes a true go-anywhere sport utility vehicle.
