W hen the late WilsonNicholls opened MidtownVideo in 1985, jumping on

a trend of video-rental stores, hepredicted his operation would notlast forever. Technology wouldeventually change, he said, and putan end to his humble enterprise.

This week, after a 19-year run,Nicholls’ prophecy came true.

The mom-and-pop store inMidtown Shopping Center closedits doors for good Thursday, thevictim of changing times and shift-ing habits.

Over the years, the video storegained a following for its uniquecollection of movies, at one pointhailed for stocking “the most eclec-tic selection of foreign films” fromSanta Monica to San Francisco byMetro Newspapers.

For three years in a row, from1997-99, Palo Alto Weekly readersalso voted Midtown Video the bestplace in town for foreign-filmrentals. Even as it closed this week,its inventory included about 1,000titles from 36 countries, as well asthousands of U.S.-made films.

The store’s demise took manycustomers by surprise.

Callie Elliston stopped by onTuesday and was upset by the news.For a dozen years, she and her fam-ily turned to Midtown Video foreverything from dramas to videogames. Her kids even biked there.

“It’s just distressing news,” shesaid. “It’s a fabulous video store.”

Employee Jim Garcia, mean-while, had taken to the phone,spreading the word to MidtownVideo’s most loyal customers.

“It’s heartbreaking,” he said.But Laurie Garcia, Midtown

Video’s store manager and a partowner, said it’s no surprise. Thestore’s majority owners — rela-tives of Nicholls, who passed awayin 2001 — had been consideringclosing the struggling operation formonths. They opted to shut downthe store within days.

The rising popularity of mail-order rentals, such as Netflix, andthe ease of video-on-demand serv-ices from cable and satellite com-panies were partially responsiblefor the store’s demise, LaurieGarcia said.

The advent of DVDs has revolu-tionized video consumption aswell: People are buying, not justrenting. Unlike VHS tapes, DVDsare marketed for sales, Garciasaid, and low prices make them a

better bargain than ever before. In 2002, consumers spent $8.7 bil-

lion to own DVDs and $3.4 billionon VHS tapes, according to theVideo Software Dealers Association,an industry trade group. Even DVDrentals are rapidly taking over mar-ket share.

Consumers spent $2.9 billion rent-ing DVDs in 2002, more than doublethe previous year.

T he “i”s haven’t been dottedand the “t”s aren’t crossed onthe new city attorney’s con-

tract, but Councilman Jack Mortonhas already criticized the CityCouncil’s decision.

“I don’t understand the decisionmy colleagues have made,” Mortonsaid.

The council announced in earlyMay that an offer was tendered toGary Baum, Santa Clara’s assistantcity attorney. Negotiations are stillunderway, and the council metMonday night in closed session todiscuss the matter.

Since Baum, 43, is currently onvacation, the appointment may notbe finalized until next week at theearliest, city officials said.

Morton complained Tuesday thatby passing over Interim CityAttorney Wynne Furth, the councilsent a message to other senioremployees that it doesn’t promote“competent” people from within.He is also concerned that the attor-ney’s office will be making its sec-ond major transition in two years.

The council’s choice also does“not recognize the expertise and thehigh regard that the interim cityattorney is held in,” Morton said.

Furth, 56, has been the provision-al leader of the city’s legal teamsince last September when longtimeCity Attorney Ariel Calonne left tobecome the city attorney ofBoulder, Colo.

P alo Alto Police Chief Lynne Johnson admittedthis week there could have been better commu-nication with residents concerning the contro-

versial mountain lion shooting on Monday.To address this lapse, Johnson will hold a public

meeting next week to discuss better informing thepublic about such crises in the future.

The meeting will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday,May 26 inside the City Council chambers of CityHall. A later meeting that day will focus on publicsafety issues related to mountain lions.

Johnson admitted to being so focused on gettingmore officers to the scene and finding the mountainlion that she initially forgot to use the city’s emer-gency telephone alert system to notify residents. Thechief said she was about to use the system when thelion was found, shot and killed.

“We should have, in retrospect and hindsight, acti-vated that earlier on,” Johnson said. “That’s one of ourlessons learned.”

The city purchased the alert system after the com-munity was severely damaged by flooding in 1998.After the late-night flood, the city received harsh crit-icisms for failing to notify residents.

Wednesday’s meeting will primarily focus on find-ing new ways to communicate important safety mes-sages, including neighborhood e-mail bulletin boards,Johnson said. The phone system has limitations interms of how long a message can be put out.

The second Wednesday meeting, starting at 6:30p.m. inside City Hall, will center on recognizingmountain lion risks. County Supervisor Liz Kniss,Sheriff Laurie Smith, and mountain lion expert Henry

Concerning misfortuneThe fate of the mountain lion is a

misfortune that our communities musttake with considerable concern.

My humble opinion is that Stanfordcould forestall the descent of wildlifeonto the community by opening up theDish to the dog community.

The scent of humans and caninescould very well deter the lion fromcrossing the road or the creek.

Mimi WolfSan Carlos Court, Palo Alto

Police not at faultThe shocking presence of a moun-

tain lion in residential Palo Alto andits subsequent death will certainly bediscussed for some time to come.The tragic killing of the animal hasoutraged many members of thecommunity.

However, I believe it is unfair to faultthe Palo Alto Police Department forthe lion’s death. None can argue howunfortunate the circumstances were,but imagine the sorrow had the lionbeen shot with a tranquilizer (whichcan take quite a while to have effect),than somehow managed to flee andeventually maul someone’s young sonor daughter.

It’s terribly sad that a creature ofthis magnificence and beauty died.But the Palo Alto police did it to pro-tect the safety of Palo Alto residents,as any good police officer should do.Peace to the spirit of the slain moun-tain lion, and thanks to the safeguardsof our peaceful city.

Daniel RandPark Boulevard, Palo Alto

Another way?I am saddened and disappointed by

the decision to hunt down and kill thestray mountain lion Monday (May 17).Although I can appreciate the dangerit posed to our neighborhood, theremust have been other ways of subdu-ing the animal.

Where were the tranquilizer guns?The authorities had hours to obtain

the correct materials — the animalwas spotted early Monday morning.

It was sleeping in the tree.Lastly, why couldn’t the animal be

relocated to another area? I think thekill should have been a last resort, notthe primary action taken.

Maryanne SteidingerGreenwood Avenue, Palo Alto

Poor approachAs I watched the Palo Alto police kill

a frightened mountain lion hiding in atree, I did not feel safe and protected.

Instead, I felt angry and realizedthat anyone who has a gun is danger-ous and should be feared even if theywear a uniform. I had hoped theremight be a good explanation for theiractions, but it appears to have simplybeen the quickest and easiest way todeal with the problem.

However, I believe the Palo Altopolice have underestimated the back-lash they will receive from the com-munity about their actions. Palo Altoresidents expect intelligent andhumane solutions to animal controlissues, not the shoot-and-kill approachthat may be accepted in other areas.

I certainly hope the City of Palo Altomakes it a priority to develop anacceptable approach for future wild-animal incidents.

Jamie JarvisGreer Road, Palo Alto

Sickened readerWhen I read in the Palo Alto Weekly

(May 19) about the killing of a scared,confused mountain lion, obviously outof place and taking refuge in a treeafter being chased, I was sickened.

Sickened!Whoever made that decision made

a wrong call. I’m offended by thefolks, who are supposed to protectanimals in Palo Alto, rationalizing it onthe basis of child-safety rhetoric.Killing that animal was wrong.

CITY COUNCIL

I t started with CouncilwomanHillary Freeman calling a citypolicy a “travesty.” It ended

with Councilwoman LaDorisCordell rubbing Freeman’s shoul-ders.

But in the middle a fracas erupt-ed that has some wondering if theCity Council’s honeymoon is over.

Behind the scenes a lot of timehas been devoted to council rela-tions, following a year when thecouncil had a well-publicizeddecorum meltdown. Meetingshave been held — councilmem-ber-to-councilmember — tosmooth ruffled feathers. EvenFreeman and Councilman JackMorton, who had some of the mosttaught exchanges last year, had aprivate discussion, a breakthroughfor the peevish duo.

On Mondaynight of thisweek, all thetouchy-feelywork seemedto fly out thewindow forone councilmeeting. Butsigns earlierthis year indi-cated that noteverything iscopacetic.

During a subcommittee meetingin March, Morton stormed out. Helater said the discussion about howto appoint the mayor every yearwas a waste of time.

It started innocently enough witha discussion about how the citypicks its vendors. After the councilapproved new policies for suchselections, designed to speed up theprocess, Freeman criticized thecity’s current goal for how manyminority- and women-owned busi-nesses it picks for projects that arefederally funded. She called it a“travesty.”

The outspoken councilwomanasked for a subcommittee to studyways to increase the diversity of itsvendors.

Interim City Attorney WynneFurth warned that Proposition 209,passed by state voters in 1996,would hamper the conversation,since the city cannot collect demo-graphic data on its vendors, asidefrom federally-funded projects.

“I think there are issues toexplore,” Furth said. But, sheadded, “much of what you’ll learnabout is the constraints underwhich we operate. That isn’t to sayit isn’t worth doing.”

Shortly after, CouncilwomanJudy Kleinberg spoke, arguing thatFreeman, by using the word “trav-esty,” was accusing the city ofbeing “discriminatory.”

“Point of order,” Freeman inter-rupted, hoping to be able to clarifyher remarks immediately.

“Let me finish,” Kleinberg said.“Point of order,” Freeman repeated.“No, let me finish,” Kleinberg

echoed.

“No I think ... ““No, let me finish.”“Councilmember Freeman, I will

allow Councilmember Kleinbergto continue,” said Mayor BernBeecham, who conducts the meet-ings.

Kleinberg continued: “Thechoice of words is disturbingbecause I’ve seen no evidencethere is a travesty.” She thennoticed that Freeman had left herchair to speak to Beecham.

“I think I have the floor,”Kleinberg said. She then wentsilent, waiting for Freeman to sitback down. After a moment,Freeman returned to her seat.

“Council member Kleinberg?”Beecham asked.

“Thank you for letting me con-tinue,” Kleinberg said. “I think that

if in fact therewas somedata or evi-dence that wehad discrimi-natory con-tracting prin-cipals at play,then maybewe could usesuch dramaticlanguage. ButI’m not con-vinced any-

thing that’s come before the coun-cil supports that.”

Cordell then jumped into thedebate, trying to calm thingsdown. She pointed out that therewould be no harm in taking a cur-sory look at the issue.

“The matter is an important one,and if there’s nothing to it, so beit,” Cordell said.

A few minutes later, after moretense discussion, Beecham askedfor a vote on the issue.

“I’m not sure anything is goingto change on where we’re going togo. We have different opinions.”

But other council members stillwanted to speak.

Vice Mayor Jim Burch said heunderstood Freeman’s desire tostudy the issue.

“But then withhold your word‘travesty’ until you see what theresponse comes back.”

“Colleagues?” Beecham inter-rupted. “Colleagues, let’s cool thisdown, OK?”

“Well, I just ... “ Burch gasped.“Vice Mayor Burch, let’s move

on ...” Beecham said.After five more minutes of discus-

sion, the council rejected Freeman’sidea, voting 2-7 with only Freemanand Councilwoman YorikoKishimoto voting in favor of it.

Later in the meeting, during abreak, Cordell came up toFreeman, rubbed her shoulders,and told her to cool off.

Cordell also advised her tonever, ever use the word “travesty”again. ■

Embarcadero Bike Path opensA bike path more than 10 years in the making opened along

Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto on Tuesday.Mayor Bern Beecham officially opened the Embarcadero Bike Path, a

newly completed off-street bicycle and pedestrian facility.The path starts near the Palo Alto High School Track along Churchill

Avenue and follows the railroad alignment from Churchill to theUniversity Avenue Caltrain Station. It features a new bicycle/pedestrianbridge spanning Embarcadero Road and can be accessed atEmbarcadero, Encina Avenue and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.

An extension to the Homer Avenue undercrossing is slated for com-pletion in the fall.

The Embarcadero Bike Path is unusual due to its proximity to the rail-road alignment, transportation officials said, but is separated from theCaltrain tracks by a 6-foot iron fence. ■

Parking hours extended Shoppers in downtown Palo Alto will have an hour of extra parking to

savor during the next 10 months, thanks to the City Council. On Monday night, the council approved extending the limits in three

downtown parking garages from two hours to three hours. The Chamberof Commerce requested the extension, hoping it would attract more busi-ness to downtown.

The limits will be extended until Feb. 28, 2005. A similar extension hasbeen in place without council approval since the city’s two newest park-ing garages opened in December 2003, but the elected officials needed toapprove the extension for it to continue.

The garages in question are located on High Street (between Universityand Hamilton avenues), on Bryant Street (between University and Lyttonavenues) and on the corner of Ramona Street and University Avenue.

Because of the extension, the city is expecting to lose approximately$180,000 in parking tickets. City parking officials are also concerneddowntown employees, and not shoppers, will monopolize the extendedhours. ■

Palo Alto MedicalFoundation chooses

San Carlos for new centerFacility will include first major hospital for medical group

by Jocelyn Dong

T he Palo Alto MedicalFoundation will build a $300million hospital and clinic in

San Carlos — an ambitious projectthat officials said won’t diminishservices to patients at the Palo Altoclinic.

The San Carlos medical center willinclude the nonprofit’s first majorhospital, with 110 beds, putting it incompetition with Sequoia Hospital inRedwood City and KaiserPermanente Redwood City.

Until recently, almost all servicesprovided by the foundation have beenoutpatient, aside from a 30-bedmaternity and surgery hospital inSanta Cruz.

At 475,000 square feet, the projectwill be larger than the 305,000-square-foot Palo Alto facility on ElCamino Real, which was completedin 1999 and cost $130 million.

For all the recent concern about adoctor shortage on the Peninsula, Dr.David Druker, president and CEO ofthe medical foundation, brushedaside fears that the 150-physician SanCarlos center would either be under-staffed or stretch the nonprofit’sstaffing at other locations.

“I don’t anticipate any difficulty,”he said, citing statistics that 30-40physicians join the medical groupevery year.

He estimated that 15-20 doctorsfrom the Palo Alto clinic might moveto the San Carlos center, which is

scheduled for completion in five years. No public money will be required

to fund the project, Druker said.Instead, Sutter Health, which is affil-iated with the Palo Alto MedicalFoundation, will float tax-exemptbonds repayable over 20-30 years.

“That will be the lion’s share,” hesaid.

In addition, the organization’s rev-enues have been running at about 3percent above the foundation’s annu-al $600 million budget. Those profits,plus private fund raising, will makeup the balance, Druker said.

The proposed San Carlos center, tobe located just off U.S. Highway 101at 301 Industrial Road, will displace acompany with roots in Palo Alto thatwill return here in about two years.Communication and PowerIndustries/Eimac, which makes vacu-um electron tubes, was previouslypart of Varian Associates.

The company already has a loca-tion in the Stanford Research Parkand expects to move its 280 employ-ees there, according to EimacPresident Mike Cheng.

The foundation’s search for a newPeninsula location began 18 monthsago and also included Redwood City.San Carlos won out because of theproperty’s size — 18.5 acres — and itslocation, foundation officials said. ■

Upfront

Other council members did notcriticize Morton for going publicwith his gripes, but instead defendedtheir choice. Many said they hadgreat respect for Furth, but felt thatBaum — who has expertise in legalissues surrounding land use — was abetter fit for the organization’s future.

“I think most of us have a philos-ophy that it’s good to promote fromwithin, but it’s not the factor thatdetermines 100 percent of our deci-sions,” Councilwoman YorikoKishimoto said.

“Wynne is a fine attorney and it wasa very difficult decision,” CouncilmanJim Burch added. “I think she did ayeoman’s job as the interim.”

Last summer, Morton penned a

memo expressing his disappointmentthat Calonne — who had been withthe city for 13 years — was let gowithout a fight, or a competitive offer.

“I did not understand how mycolleagues let one of the most cele-brated attorneys in the state exit theCity of Palo Alto,” Morton said. ■

Coletto will speak.Both meetings may provide a

chance for upset locals to air protestsconcerning the shooting, whichsparked immediate outcry and amemorial to the cat. Internet blogshave been rife with discussion aboutthe topic, with people from as faraway as the Netherlands debatingthe police’s actions.

Even Palo Alto elementaryschools allegedly called in griefcounselors for students.

Outcry began almost immediately.Annika Simpson was standing out-side Palo Alto’s City Hall Mondaynight holding a small sign accusingthe police of animal cruelty. She saidshe saw the shooting on television.

“It was graphic,” Simpson said. “Itwas horrible.”

The police department hasreceived hundreds of e-mails, mostlycritical of the decision to shoot themountain lion.

The police chief said she has neverbefore seen such uproar. Even whena Palo Alto officer shot a man atStanford, “there wasn’t hardly anyresponse to that,” Johnson said. “Idon’t know what it is.”

Other police departments thatrecently shot lions received nothingapproaching this level of attention,Johnson added. Part of the reasonmay be the fact that television cam-eras captured the shooting as it hap-pened, she predicted.

Many of the most “vicious andvile” e-mails came from outside thecommunity, Johnson added.

“While the Internet has been agreat tool in many ways, it’s real easyfor someone to sit at a computer andblast off a flaming e-mail to someonethey don’t know,” Johnson said.

A necropsy conducted this weekshowed the male lion to be 99 pounds,and between 2- and 3-years-old. Theseemingly healthy lion had nothing inits stomach, but was not undernour-ished, said Steve Martarano,spokesperson for the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game.

Many residents of the neighbor-hoods near the shooting said theyapproved of the decision, due to thethreat the cougar posed.

“I’m glad they got it,” said DanGanschow of Pine Street, who sawthe cat at 5:45 a.m. Monday whilewalking his dog. “There are lots ofkids and elderly people in the neigh-borhood.”

Meg Waite Clayton of ParkinsonStreet made a point of driving herchildren to school that morning. Herfamily dealt with the situationthrough humor to ease tension.

“My son referred to the kids bik-ing to school this morning as mealson wheels,” Waite Clayton said.

The hunt for the animal endedshortly after 1 p.m. when Palo Altopolice officer Corey Preheim shotthe mountain lion out of a tree at thecorner of Walter Hayes Drive andWalnut Avenue. Preheim, who hasdeclined requests for interviews, has

been the target of much of the harsh-est criticisms, Johnson said.

“People are calling her a murdererand worse,” Johnson noted via e-mail. “She is upset about having tokill the lion but knew she was doingher job.”

“I’m sorry I had to do that,”Preheim reportedly told a city natu-ralist at the scene.

Palo Alto Police Capt. TorinFischer said the department consult-ed with the Fish and GameDepartment, County Vector Control,Palo Alto city Naturalist DeborahBartens, and the Morgan Hill PoliceDepartment.

A tranquilizer gun was on thescene, Johnson confirmed onThursday, clearing up days of confu-sion on the issue. Yet, both Johnsonand Fischer said a decision hadalready been made to kill the moun-tain lion based on information gath-ered from knowledgeable sources.

Tranquilizing a mountain liondoes not produce instant results, andcould have taken as long as half anhour before sedating the animal,police officials argued. They add thatif police lost sight of the mountainlion before it became immobile, theanimal could have found a place tosleep off the drug.

“Tranquilizers don’t work like theydo on TV,” Johnson said. “Sometimesthey don’t work at all and can actual-ly agitate the animal.” ■

Garcia considered converting thestore’s stock to all-DVDs, butreplacing the VHS tapes, especiallythe hard-to-find foreign flicks,would have been too costly.

Not only that, but Midtown Videohas always filled a niche, offering cultfilms and classics. Stocking all thepopular DVDs would have pitted thestore against giants like Blockbuster.

“There was no way we could sur-vive,” she said Tuesday, sitting in thetiny rear office with movie postersplastered on the walls. In the stockroom, numbered brown plastic VHScases filled the shelves, looking likeartifacts from a quickly vanishing age.

Garcia, 36, grew teary as shetalked about the store. MidtownVideo has been her whole career; shestarted working there when it firstopened. After years of chatting overfilms they’ve loved or hated, cus-tomers have become like family.

With the shop’s closing, an erathat Nicholls founded has come toan end, she said. Hundreds ofteenagers, like Garcia, worked theirfirst jobs at Midtown Video, or atBaskin-Robbins next door, whichNicholls also owned for 18 years.

A liquidation company has beencontracted to sell the store’s inven-

tory, starting on Thursday, May 27.Customers may be able to use oldMidtown Video coupons towardvideo purchases, Garcia said.

Midtown Video’s closing leaves asingle independent video-rentalplace in Palo Alto, Best Video.Coincidentally, it is located inMidtown Shopping Center.

Best Video owner Aung Ouyangadmitted that mail-order rentalslike Netflix have provided competi-tion, but he maintained that busi-ness is good.

Friday is Garcia’s last day,

although the shop will not be opento the public. Eight part-timeemployees are also being let go. Forcustomers who missed sayinggoodbye, Garcia said, the store’s e-mail, [email protected],will be operational for awhile.

A simple, white flier posted onthe front door this week, announc-ing the store’s sudden closure, wasaddressed “To our loyal customers.”

“Thanks. We’ll miss you.” ■Senior staff writer Jocelyn Dong

“ P i c a s s o t o T h i e b a u d ” e x h i b i t i o ns h o w c a s e s w o r k s o w n e d b y

S t a n f o r d a l u m n i a n d f r i e n d s

Jill Freidenrich has been on a hunt for works byRichard Diebenkorn for most of her life.

The crazy love affair for all things Diebenkornbegan in 1964, when she and her husband, John,purchased a lithograph from a Los Angeles artdealer. The search continued over the years, result-ing in the acquisition of etchings, aquatints andother lithographs.

But it wasn’t until 1996, on a trip to New YorkCity, that the Freidenrichs came across the piecede resistance of their collection. They hit gold atthe Acquavella Gallery, which had just acquired“Untitled (Seated Woman With Hand to Mouth)”from the Diebenkorn estate (he passed away in1993). The couple knew they had to act quickly —they had missed out on buying a Diebenkorn piecethe year before, because they had hesitated.

“To find a piece of this quality and to have it beavailable — that’s rare,” Freidenrich said.

This time, the couple did not hesitate. The pur-chase came a year before a Diebenkorn retrospec-

tive at the Whitney Museum of American Art thatelevated his stature in the art world and sent theprices of his works into the stratosphere.

Their beloved artwork occupies a place of honorin their Atherton home. These days, however, it ismissing from the family room, as is it temporarilyensconced in the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Centerfor Visual Arts at Stanford University. Also onloan is the couple’s bronze Henry Moore sculpture,Working Model for “Reclining Woman: Elbow.”

Their “girls” are part of the museum’s currentexhibition, “Picasso to Thiebaud: Modern andContemporary Art from the Collections of Stan-ford University Alumni and Friends,” comprisedof 65 paintings and sculptures from more than 40collections throughout the United States.

The pieces, selected by Hilarie Faberman, thecenter’s curator for modern and contemporary art,represent major European and American art move-ments of the last century, such as Cubism, AbstractExpressionism, Pop, Minimalism and Color Field.

(Above) “Brushstroke,” an enamel on steel by Roy Lichtenstein. The 1965 piece was lent by Michael and Jane Marmor. Michael, who inherited the work from his parents, isan ophthalmologist and visual physiologist at Stanford. (Below) Richard Diebenkorn’s “Scissors,” lent by his daughter and son-in-law, Gretchen Diebenkorn Grant andRichard Grant. Diebenkorn, a Stanford alumnus, painted the 1959 piece during his figurative phase.


Edition

The earliest piece is a 1901 Picasso painting,“Courtesan With Hat.” The newest are a 2002Sean Scully oil, “Pink Wall of Light,” and a2002 porcelain piece by Toshiko Takaezu.

In between are works by such heavyweightsas Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Robert De-launay, Roy Lichstenstein, Nathan Olivieraand Wayne Thiebaud. Among the sculptors

represented in the show are Alexander Calder,Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Jacques Lipchitz,Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson. A quarterof the works were created prior to 1950, whilethe remainder hail from the latter part of the20th century and beyond.

“It doesn’t pretend to be a survey,” Faber-(continued on next page)

(Left) Wayne Thiebaud’s “24thStreet Intersection,” courtesy of aprivate collection. The 1977 workis an oil on canvas. (Lower left)Frank Lobdell’s “Fall,” courtesyof a private collection. The 1980work by the Bay Area abstrac-tionist is an oil on canvas.

man said. “What it does do is reflectwhat Stanford collectors have — apreponderance of contemporary art.”

(At Stanford, contemporary tendsto refer to works created post-1980,while modern means anything fromthe 20th century, according to Faber-man, adding that the definitions arehighly subjective).

“Still, even though it is contempo-rary, there’s no artist younger than50,” Faberman said. “It’s not at allcutting-edge. The focus of the mod-ern and contemporary collection isnot on younger artists, as much as itis on established American artists,who have an exhibition history undertheir belts.”

Nevertheless, it is impressive, of-fering viewers the chance to seesome works they would rarely see onthe West Coast. Case in point: a1916 oil on canvas by Robert Delau-nay, “Portuguese Still Life.”

“You may see a Delaunay in NewYork, but otherwise only in France,”Faberman said.

The painting, in which repeatedcircles explode in a feast of prismaticcolors, was loaned to the museum bya family whose daughter attendedStanford. Their identity is anony-mous.

“It comes from one of the best col-lections of early 20th century andimpressionist art in the country,”Faberman said.

Another rarity is “Marine 2”(1997), an oil on canvas by AlexKatz. Katz is an East Coast whoseworks are rarely exhibited on theWest Coast, Faberman said. The 126by 96-inch piece is on loan fromWoodside residents Binnie and NedGates.

“It takes up the focus of their liv-ing room,” Faberman said of thework. “If you were to take the boatsand the landscape out, you’d have anincredibly abstract painting. Katzskirts the edge of how abstract some-thing can be and still represent thereal world. That’s a very dangerousline to be on. You really have toknow what you’re doing. His piecesare big, in-your-face paintings.”

The exhibition is highly weightedtoward Bay Area artists.

“If this show were, say at SmithCollege, you’d probably have anOliviera and a Diebenkorn. But youwouldn’t have five Diebenkorns,”Faberman said. “A lot of our collec-tors know Diebenkorn through the

Stanford collection and love him.”That’s the case for Freidenrich.“Every time you look at her, you

see different things,” Freidenrichsaid of the 1964 work. “It’s a veryquiet painting, but it’s tremendouslyalive.”

Another Diebenkorn in the exhibi-tion comes courtesy of the lateartist’s daughter, GretchenDiebenkorn Grant and her husband,Richard. Entitled “Scissors,” the1959 piece is an oil on canvas paint-ed during his figurative phase, be-tween 1955 and 1966, when he livedin Berkeley. The scissors, in particu-lar, are considered iconic by theDiebenkorn family, because they ap-pear in so many works.

“What the family tends to hold onto are the meaningful works,” Faber-man said.

“Picasso to Thibeault” has been inthe making since 1993, ever sinceFaberman became the center’s cura-tor of modern and contemporary art.For the last decade, she and museumdirector Thomas Seligman have vis-ited Stanford collectors, seeking ulti-mately to have their prized posses-sions donated to the museum. A par-ticular goal, Faberman said, is to ac-quire works that would complementthe center’s permanent collection.

“I’d do anything for a Hockney —we don’t have any in the permanentcollection,” Faberman said.

The exhibition’s sole David Hock-ney painting — a brilliantly colored,Matisse-like piece entitled “InteriorWith Sun and Dog” (1988) —comes courtesy of Doris and DonaldFisher, who loaned five pieces to theCantor show.

“Shows like this are really collec-tion-development shows,” Fabermansaid. You can’t put it together in sixmonths. It involves long-term court-ing and schmoozing with peoplewho collect.”

Faberman however, had help put-ting the show together, thanks to fivegraduate and three undergraduateStanford students. To get them up tospeed, Faberman and PatienceYoung, the center’s curator of educa-tion, taught a seminar entitled“Anatomy of an Exhibition” in 2002and 2003.

As a result, the students were ableto assist in the installation of the ex-hibition, the writing of labels, andthe publication of a color catalogue.They met with alumni, viewed theircollections and spoke with themabout their passion for art.

They also had input in arranging

the show according to various aca-demic themes, instead of chronologi-cally.

“The students wanted to point outthat art is relevant to disciplines oth-er than art history, so there are sec-tions that relate to other fields taughtat Stanford, such as music, literature,feminist studies and science andtechnology,” Faberman said.

For example, the feminist studiesgrouping includes Picasso’s “Courte-san With Hat,” David Park’s“Woman Playing Solitaire,”Diebenkorn’s “Untitled (SeatedWoman With Hand to Mouth)” andMoore’s Working Model for “Re-clining Woman: Elbow.”

“It’s kind of a win-win situation,”Faberman said. “The lenders arehappy, because their works will beon display, and the students arestudying their art. And the studentsare happy, because they’re meetingwith collectors and working withreal pieces. In the end, it makes for amore interesting exhibition. Andyou’ve got an interesting catalogue,because it’s not just the curator’svoice — there are 12 authors. That’srare for a catalogue.”

The catalogue features commentsby the lenders concerning their col-lections and the role Stanford playedin shaping their taste. There also es-says by university president JohnHennessy, art history professor Wan-da Corn, center director ThomasSeligman, Faberman and Young.

A number of pieces in the exhibi-tion have already been promised tothe museum, such as the Picasso ( agift of Dr. Marjorie Lewisohn) andDiebenkorn’s “Buildings — HillBackground,” a gift of Nancy Gon-zalez.

But most works will be returningto their owners once the show endson June 20. That means Freidenrichwill no longer have to visit her girls— they’ll be back home where theybelong.

“It’s a tremendous luxury — andan enormous privilege — to havethese pieces in our house,” Freiden-rich said. “It’s like having a friend.There was a huge dent the day theyleft.” ■

O ne evening, in the quiethours shortly after mid-night, Francie Kelley sat

down at the piano. Her husband,Pat, joined her, and within 20minutes a lullaby to their unbornchild was written.

Kelley never planned to makea children’s album. But as sheprepared to have her first childand then experienced the joys ofwatching Katie grow up, hersongwriting reflected these won-ders.

In 2002 she released “Wake Up& Go To Sleep!,” a loving lulla-by to her 8-year-old daughter. Asophisticated collection that fus-es country and jazz, the albumfeatures mostly original compo-sitions by Kelley, with such titlesas “Precious One,” “BabiesWon’t Keep,” and “Jammin inMy Jammies.”

The lat ter song wil l be thetheme of Kelley’s next concert,“Jammin’ in My Jammies,”which will take place on Satur-day at Linden Tree in Los Altos.The show will feature Kelley, herhusband Pat on guitar, anddaughter Katie singing back-upvocals. Kids and parents are in-vited to come and listen and jamin their jammies.

“The shows are a lot of fun.We try to get people participat-ing,” said Kelley, 48, who wasraised in Palo Alto but currentlyresides in Los Angeles.

Kelley will also perform onSunday at a benefit at HiddenVilla. That event will celebratethe 90th birthday of her mother,

environmentalist and activistLois Crozier Hogle. Proceedswill be split equally among Ac-terra, the Committee for GreenFoothills and Hidden Villa.

An award-winning environ-mental leader, Crozier Hoglehelped found, guide and inspire ahost of organizations, includingCommittee for Green Foothills,the Peninsula Conservation Cen-ter (Acterra’s predecessor), Hid-den Villa, Midpeninsula Region-al Open Space District, Peninsu-la Open Space Trust and theYWCA, among others.

Though Kelley has not fol-lowed in her mother’s footsteps,she nevertheless credits her forpursuing a career in music.

Francie Kelley started writingchildren’s songs after her daugh-ter, Katie, was born.



dreaming big that inspires me,”Kelley said. “And I want to in-spire children to dream big,too!”

For this special occasion,Kelley will debut a new poemshe has written in her mother’shonor, and in the spirit of theenvironment. Entitled “Com-mon Purpose” (“The AcornSong”), the work is a metaphorfor what her mother has accom-plished, Kelley said.

“A dream of protecting thefoothills for future generations,was like an acorn that she, Wal-ly Stegner and Ruth Spangen-berg ‘planted’ in the l ivingroom,” Kelley said. “The poemmentions things that Momloves, that she wants to sharewith everyone......’Listen to themeadowlark,’ she often says.‘Oh look at the oaks and thepoppies.’ She loves to sharebeauty with others. And naturalbeauty enriches our spirit.”

Rounding out the family cele-brat ion wil l be son AllanHogle, who will also honor hismother, but in spoken word, in-stead of song.

Though Kelley started play-ing piano when she was 8 andtook voice lessons beginning at15, it wasn’t until she was preg-nant with Katie that she beganwriting children’s music. Thelyrics and music on “Wake Up& Go To Sleep!” were writtenover a number of years.

“It was totally inspired byhaving a child,” Kelley said. “Ijust found myself moseyingover to the piano.”

As Katie grew up, the musicgrew along with her, Kelleysaid, adding that as her daugh-ter’s life became more active,the songs did, as well. The be-ginning of the album featuresupbeat songs, which slowlytransform into mid-tempopieces, and finally end in lulla-bies. The title, “Wake Up & GoTo Sleep,” mirrors this progres-sion.

Pat , a jazz musician witheight albums to his credit, co-wrote many of the album’ssongs. He was also recentlyfeatured on the cover of GuitarMagazine and will tour withNatalie Cole this spring.

“Such a cool byproduct was Igot to collaborate with my hus-band,” said Kelley, who citesthe Beatles and Peter, Paul andMary as influences.

The couple’s musical stylesare easily noticeable on the CD.Alongside Pat’s jazz guitar,Kelley weaves folk and rockmelodies. Their combined mu-sical expertise has resulted in asophist icated styl ing andarrangement rarely found inchildren’s recordings.

When it came to lyrics, how-ever, daughter Katie providedmore than enough inspiration.

“The lyrics are a response tobeing a mother,” Kelley said.“It’s something tangible that

she’ll always have that says ‘Ilove you.’”

With this album, Kelley aimsto bring parents and childrencloser together, helping momsand dads reconnect with thejoys of innocence and wonder.On “Song of Life,” Kelleysings, “Children are the song ofl ife/The lul laby for mysoul/The peace of mind Isearched the world for/Livesquietly just inside your door.”

When not writing music, Kel-ley is an art consultant, helpinginterior designers select art forhotels. She also oversees a chil-dren’s choir.

Kelley hopes to keep bringingthe joy of music to children andparents alike, and intends to re-lease more CDs in the future.

“I feel l ike my authenticvoice is in children’s music,”Kelley said. “I feel so athome.” ■

FLATTER LENSES THAT FLATTER YOUWhile conventional eyeglass lenses have front

surfaces that are spherical, “aspheric” lenses havemore complex front surfaces, the curve of whichgradually changes from the center to the edge.By virtue of this more complex design, asphericlenses eliminate the distortions that wearersencounter when they look away from the centerof their conventional lenses. Moreover, asphericlenses are thinner and lighter than conventionallenses. With the flatter curves that come with

aspheric design, lenses do not seem to bulge outfrom their frame as much as conventional lensesmight. This translates into improvedappearance,as does the fact that aspheric lensescan be positioned closer to the face for a morenatural look to the wearer’s eyes.

As advances in eyewear continue, lenses arebecoming thinner and lighter. This means thatyou can look your best while seeing your bestregardless of your vision problem. At MENLOOPTICAL, we fill prescriptions with the latestlenses, including aspheric lenses.We can help youselect the type of frames best suited to your facialconstruction, lifestyle, and personal tastes. Call usat 322-3900, or bring us your prescription. Weare located at 1166 University Drive.

P.S. Aspheric lenses are used mostly for far-sighted prescriptions or for reading glasses.Aspheric lenses can be ordered in bifocals, pro-gressive-addition lenses or single vision.

W hether it is in movies,music or theater, every-one likes to see the vil-

lain get it in the end. And withWest Bay Opera’s upcoming pro-duction of Mozart’s Don Giovan-ni, they’ll get that satisfaction tothe hilt.

The timeless story of Don Juan(“Don Giovanni” in Italian) andhis pathological need to seduceall women he meets is one of theclassics. First written and per-formed in 1787, the opera tracesthe transgressions and fall ofDon Giovanni, a libertine whoseduces and sometimes rapeswomen. In the opera, he kills thefather (Il Commendatore) of oneof his victims, Donna Anna, andeventually pays the ul t imateprice for his sins when the statueof the slain commander dragshim to hell.

“A lot of people think opera isgrand opera with a capital ‘G.’This isn’t,” said Kenneth Tigar,the production’s stage director.“It’s a story people can under-stand. It’s about love and re-venge and our lives. The pas-sions are high but the people arevery real.”

Tigar said while there aremany versions of the Don Juanlegend, Mozart’s is the one peo-ple remember because it is doneso well. The score, according toKirk Eichelberger, who playsDon Giovanni, is very dramaticand filled with music familiar toeven those who have never seenan opera. The plot, he added, is

also very dramatic — it’s full ofsex and violence.

“It’s basically 18th-centuryJerry Springer with credit forculture,” said Shana Blake Hill,who plays Donna Anna.

Lori Decter, one of two singersplaying Donna Elvira, another ofDon Giovanni’s conquests, saidthis opera offers a perfect firstexperience for those who havenever attended.

“I t’s just accessible on somany levels,” she said, addingthat while the opera is dark andits tone generally very tragic,Don Giovanni’s servant, Leporel-lo, offers some comic relief withhis ongoing commentary.

“There’s never really a dullmoment,” added Elizabeth Ca-ballero, who shares the part ofDonna Elvira in the three-hour-plus production.

In fact, Mozart characterizedDon Giovanni, sung in Italianbut set in Spain, as “dramma gio-cosa ,” Tigar said, a term thatmeans “playful or joking drama.”Even the overture starts heavyand then turns more lightheartedand bubbly.

“It’s revered for its extraordi-nary qualities of ingenuity, char-acterization and expressiveness.And sheer beauty,” said DavidSloss, West Bay’s general direc-tor and the music director for“Don Giovanni.” “We as musi-cians are awed by this musicwhen we hear it and excited atthe prospect that we’re going tosee this opera unfold.”

The opera, from its set designto its costumes, is also designedto be accessible to the audienceby being very intimate, accord-ing to Tigar. The costumes arecharacteristic of those that wouldhave appeared in Mozart’s time(the late 18th century) instead ofhistorical Spanish costumes ofthe 16th or 17th centuries.

“My concept is that we’re do-ing i t almost as i f i t were achamber opera for lords or thenobility,” Tigar said. “It’s notvery formal. In many ways Iwant it to be less formal, as if itwere being done for a group offriends.”

All cast members, with the ex-ception of Hill and Eichelberger(Donna Anna and Don Giovanni,respectively), are making theirdebuts with West Bay. But Slosssaid all the singers are up to thechallenge of taking on theopera’s complex and dense mu-sic.

“There is very complex partwriting, such as a sextet in thesecond and final acts,” Caballerosaid, adding that that sextet inparticular, is ahead of its timebecause it has a jazz harmony toit.

The singers, Sloss said, alsohave a lot of opportunity to ex-plore the music, because it isfilled with recitative (performedto the accompaniment of just oneinstrument).

“There is no written-out ver-sion of the accompaniment. Youreally do improvise the details ofwhat you play,” Sloss said. “(Therecitative) showcases the drama.It is sung, but it’s accessible likeconversation or dialogue.”

Having not performed “DonGiovanni” for 15 years, Sloss de-cided it was time to revive thistried-and-true production. Thetiming coincides with West BayOpera’s efforts to recover fromlast season’s financial losses.

“In this part icular case weneeded a show that was one ofthe very well-known ones be-cause we needed to sell it,” Slosssaid. “Don Giovanni was the per-fect solution.” ■

Eating Out

We arrived at Scott’s at 7p.m. and were out thedoor by 8:10 p.m. I had

hoped for a leisurely dinner withcompanions, but the waitressrushed us through the meal soquickly that, had it been a weekearlier, I would have thought shewanted us to get home in time towatch the final episode of“Friends.”

The restaurant was not even half-filled that evening, so there was nopressure to turn the table over.

Don’t get me wrong — ChefHerman Nava’s food is fresh andflavorful. Yet the uneven service on

each of my visits marred the expe-rience so much I am hard-pressedto want to return any time soon.

Scott’s has been around longenough to know how to take careof its customers — nearly a quartercentury in Palo Alto, with the lasttwo years at Town & Country Vil-lage. The 330-seat restaurant isopen for breakfast, lunch and din-ner.

The decor is simple, with onesection consisting of two rows ofbooths toned in earthy ochre, whileother sections have linen-lined ta-bles with rattan chairs. Tables fortwo are diminutive and can scarce-

ly hold the plates. The shopping-center interior has an open beamedceiling painted in creamy hues. TheCardinal Room, one of two privaterooms available for banquets, isfestooned with Stanford memora-bilia.

We had not been seated 30 sec-onds when the waitress appeared totake our order. I sent her away butshe was back again within aminute. Our appetizers arrivedsoon after she took the order.

I loved the crab cakes ($14.50),which came with a scoop of black-bean corn salad on a bed of lettucewith a slick of horseradish creamsauce. Jumbo wrapped prawns($13.95) were like won -tonshrimps on skewers with peanutdipping sauce. A mound of Napacabbage accompanied. Interesting,but the dipping sauce could havebeen livelier.

The clam chowder ($5.50 cup;$6.75 bowl) was one of the bestI’ve sampled. The bivalves weresupple and full of fresh briny fla-vor, and there were just enoughclams to balance out the cream andpotato. The consistency was mas-terful, coating the spoon yet not toothick. Thin slices of blackened ahituna ($14.95) were presented withcucumber and carrot salad. Thetuna was melt-in-the mouth goodand the lightly biting dressingworked in harmony.

The fried calamari ($9.95) wasnot so good. The squid was notcrisp enough, leaving a mealy tex-ture in the mouth. The lemon garlicsauce added little other than calo-ries to the dish. I couldn’t eat verymuch of the large serving and thewaitress did not ask why.

As we were finishing up our firstcourse, the busboy grabbed eachplate the instant the fork hit thetable, instead of waiting until all ofus had finished. Our slowest eatercomplained that she felt so rushedshe scarcely enjoyed her appetizer.Seconds later, the entrees arrived.

Grilled salmon ($23.95) had ahealthy pink tinge, flaky and rich,especially with the tasty dill beurreblanc sauce (butter and shallots)served on the side. The generousportion came with a tuft of mashedpotatoes and a medley of al dentevegetables. The sweet, mouth-wa-tering sea bass ($24.95) was leanand firm, grilled to a tee and servedwith mashed potatoes and the samebevy of fresh sauteed vegetables.

Mildly flavored yet succulentfresh halibut ($24.95) had beengrilled and was served with finger-ling potatoes, green beans, onions,slivered almonds, red bell pepperand baby tomatoes. Petrale sole($21.50) was equally delicious.Fleshy and flavorful, it camewrapped in a delicate lemon buttersauce. A convoy of green beans,fennel, red bell pepper, onions anda heap of French fries accompa-nied.

All the fish is fresh at Scott’s, ex-cept the scallops, which are flash-frozen and shipped in from the EastCoast. The seafood sauté ($25.50)was mainly scallops with twoprawns and a few shards of Dunge-ness crab. Garlic mashed potatoesand vegetables completed the plate.The large scallops were unpleas-antly mushy inside. Either theywere undercooked had not been de-frosted before they hit the sautépan. Whatever the reason, it wasnot something I wanted in mymouth very long.

The lunch menu featured a half-dozen interesting sandwiches.Grilled prawns and avocado($13.25) arrived on toasted breadwith applewood smoked bacon, let-tuce, and tomato, topped with a tar-ragon garlic sauce. Served with apile of fries it was a delicious mid-day repast. Lobster roll ($14.50)offered rich, satisfying flavors —chopped seafood bound in lightmayo and served with tomato, let-tuce and red onion on a large softroll.

If you order fish and vegetables,you can justify splurging ondessert. Scott’s classic raspberryjack ($6.50) featured a large scoopof French vanilla ice cream, oozingwith triple sec, dotted with freshraspberries and topped withwhipped cream. Key lime pie($6.50) was tangy and creamy witha graham cracker crust. Happily,the pie was not shrouded under acloud of unnecessary whippedcream.

The moist devil’s food chocolatecake ($7.50) was topped with aninch of gooey, lip-smacking fudgeicing and drizzled with caramelsauce. A large wedge of tiramisu($6.75) was adrift in a sea ofespresso crème anglaise. Thespongy layered cake was sweet butcould have been creamier. Thepuddle of sauce added another azillion or so calories without en-

hancing the cake. Dessert took less than five min-

utes to show up after we orderedand was accompanied by thecheck.

The noteworthy wine list is ex-pensive, with chardonnays startingat $38 for a fruity Edna Valley(2001) to $116 for a Newton(2000). There are a dozen sauvi-gnon blancs available as well, rang-ing from a $26 Pepi winery to a$55 Cain Ventanna Vineyard. Theselection is excellent for theseafood-dominated menu. Thereare exceptional red wines as well;alas, no bargains. A broad range ofwines are available by the glass.Corkage fee is $12 for those so in-clined.

Wine glasses were overfilled tothe point where the bottle wasemptied after two quick pourings.The waitress ripped off the leadcapsule on the wine with the wormof her corkscrew, leaving tatteredjagged edges, which then gracedthe table until she could fit the re-maining contents into our glasses.

Despite its shortcomings, Scott’sis an oasis in a shopping center,where excellent seafood is pre-pared using fresh, tasty ingredients.I only wish the service equaled thequality of the kitchen. Dinner forthree with one of the least expen-sive bottles of wine was well morethan $200 with tip. When I investthis much in dinner I want it to besomething special and not feel as ifI had just been jettisoned through afast-food restaurant. ■

Carandiru ✭✭✭(Century 16) Sao Paulo’s

Carandiru prison is an urban pen-itentiary extraordinaire, housing8,000 tortured souls in a spacedesigned for fewer than half thatnumber. The compound teemswith emotion, with sadness anddesperation coloring days andnights of perpetual incarceration.

The world within a world is aplace of dreams; short-lived fan-tasies played out on a bitter stage.The spotlight is on the prisondoctor (Luiz CarlosVasconcelos), to whom the pris-oners come for voluntary medicalaid (AIDS tests and the like) andto reveal their vivid pasts withrefreshing abandon.

The dark side jockeys with amore humane sensibility whileviolence is perpetrated in thename of sovereignty. Carandiru isless prison than halfway house, adubious entree into the Brazilianpenal system in which convictsare afforded selected rights andadvantages.

The players are a colorful mixof mankind: two half-brothersturned enemies, with a virulentscore to settle; a lover of twowives whose spouses live acrimo-niously on the outside with theirmate’s assorted offspring; a flam-boyant transvestite and his physi-cal opposite enduring a challeng-ing love that culminates in an in-

house wedding. All are on theedge and allegedly innocent oftheir heinous crimes.

The conditions are appalling— 16 of the prison’s weakestlinks languish in 90 square feet ofhousing, while the big men oncampus “luxuriate” in speciallydesigned suites. Tensions build tothe boiling point, resulting in theCarandiru massacre, a real-lifetragedy of epic proportion.

“Carandiru” is based on thebest-selling book “CarandiruStation” by Drauzio Varella (itran 168 weeks on Brazil’s best-seller list) and realized by film-maker Hector Babenco (“Kiss ofthe Spider Woman”), who knowsprison drama intimately. Hisinsider’s perspective of one ofBrazil’s most medieval dungeons(demolished in 2002 for parkspace) is moody, provocative andovertly compassionate.

Babenco’s narrative misdeed isbuilding excess sympathy for hischaracters, then pulling the rugout from under them.Nonetheless, “Carandiru” leavesa lasting impression.

Rated: Not rated, but should be Rfor violence, language and grue-some images. In Portuguese withEnglish subtitles. 2 hours, 25minutes.

MoviesMovie reviews by Jeanne Aufmuth, TylerHanley, Jim Shelby and Susan Tavernetti

NOW PLAYING

Bon Voyage ✭✭✭1/2(Aquarius) Parisian movie stars and spies,politicians and the press pack their bags inJean-Paul Rappeneau’s fanciful farce set inJune 1940. They may escape from theNazis marching into the City of Light, butnot from the scandal and intrigue trailingthem to the swanky Hotel Splendide asthey regroup in Bordeaux. The script spinscharacters (Gerard Depardieu as a Frenchminister, Isabelle Adjani as a glamorousmovie star, Peter Coyote as a noseyreporter, Gregori Derangere as an aspiringwriter and Virginie Ledoyen as a daringstudent) and story threads into all direc-tions, making you wonder how they can allpossibly meet again. They do — and in themost amusing ways. No French directorcombines intricate comic plots with high-gloss production values like Rappeneau,whose “Cyrano de Bergerac” charmedAmerican audiences over a decade ago.Big screens were made for the lush cine-matography and period detail of movieslike “Bon Voyage.” Rated: PG-13 for someviolence. In French and German withEnglish subtitles. 1 hour, 54 minutes. —S.T. (Reviewed April 30, 2004)

Breakin’ All the Rules ✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) This rote “bup-pie” romantic comedy starring Jamie Foxxas an advertising executive doesn’t havemuch to offer, save for some onscreenchemistry between Foxx, Gabrielle Unionand Morris Chestnut. After Cue (Foxx) getsdumped by his girlfriend and his cowardlyboss (Peter MacNicol) asks him to be thehatchet-man to downsize his colleagues,he quits, goes on a bender, and writes a“How to Break up With your Girlfriend”manual, which immediately goes to the topof the self-help charts. Several obviousmishaps later, Cue is in love with hiscousin’s (Chestnut) girlfriend, Nicki, (Union)his ex-boss’s scary fiancee thinks thecousin is famous author Cue, and Nickidoesn’t know how break up with herboyfriend, Evan. Foxx shows some sur-prising depth as a comic/romantic leadhere, and it’s not too hard to spend 90minutes with him in the theatre. Rated:PG-13 for sexual material/humor and lan-guage. 1 hour, 25 minutes. — J.S.(Reviewed May 14, 2004)

I’m Not Scared ✭✭✭1/2(CineArts) Italy, circa 1978. Life in thecountry is simple and fraught with thepleasures of youth: lazy games of tagthrough fields of bleached wheat, bicyclingthe backroads and exploring the aban-doned buildings of deserted villages. All iswell in the world of 10-year-old Michele(Giuseppe Cristiano) until he finds a hermitboy in a covered pit, who appears to havebeen left to die. Michele doesn’t breathe aword of his discovery, but returns againand again to uncover the mystery of thelonely child named Filippo (Mattia diPierro). Why is he chained underground

(l-r) Aida Leiner, Ailton Graca and Maria Luisa Mendonca co-starin “Carandiru.” The film, based on a true story, follows the tor-tured souls living in a Brazilian prison.


The following is a sampling of moviesrecently reviewed in the Weekly:

without food and water? Who is takingcare of him? The tension mounts asMichele connects the dots to his very ownfamily. Dad (Dino Abbrescia) is involved inshady dealings that may also involve theappearance of a corrupt Brazilianstranger. Somehow Michele must face hisfears and intervene for the sake of ahuman life, no matter what the cost. Awell-crafted cross-breed that utilizes thecruel power-plays of both youngsters andadults to support the ominous mood of afirst-rate thriller. Rated: R for disturbingimages and language. In Italian withEnglish subtitles. 1 hour, 41 minutes. —J.A. (Reviewed May 7, 2004)

Mean Girls ✭✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) Lindsay Lohan isCady Heron, a home-taught teen whosefamily moves from the African bush torural Illinois. The fashion faux pas andhallway politics of public high school arean anomaly to Cady. But after beingbefriended by a morose outcast (LizzyCaplan as Janis) and her “almost too gayto function” friend, Damian (DanielFranzese), Cady receives her first wordsof warning — look out for The Plastics.Led by blonde babe Regina George(Rachel McAdams), The Plastics are a trioof superficial gals admired and feared bythe entire student body. Intent on settlinga personal vendetta, Janis convinces thenaive Cady to join Regina’s click and digup the group’s social skeletons. But whenCady starts to become superficial herself,few are spared from her “mean girl” atti-tude. Soon Cady finds herself forced tolook past the plastic and remember hertrue nature. There’s a little seen-it-beforeto “Saturday Night Live” scribe Tina Fey’sotherwise clever script — such as the bigfinale at the high school dance — butdownfalls are easily excused considering

the plethora of fresh material. “Mean Girls”is the year’s most pleasant surprise.Rated: PG-13 for sexual content, lan-guage and some teen partying. 1 hour, 36minutes. — T.H. (reviewed April 30, 2004)

New York Minute ✭✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) Mary-Kate andAshley Olsen play polar opposites whoare estranged to the breaking point. Jane(Ashley Olsen) is an uptight, germ-phobicintellectual who lives for her color-codedday planner and dreams of an Oxford fel-lowship. Roxanne (Mary-Kate) is her mir-ror image in looks only, a rock-drummertruant who’s too cool for school and anx-ious to get her band’s demo tape into thehands of a producer. One day will changeeverything. On the morning of Jane’s bigscholarship presentation at ColombiaUniversity, she hitches a ride with Roxy tothe station. One snafu segues into thenext, as mistaken identities lead to acomedy of errors. The siblings pull offtheir classic confrontation with surprisingcredibility and pathos — I’m moved to sayI was moved. Rated: PG for mild sexualityand language. 1 hour, 26 minutes. — J.A.(Reviewed May 7, 2004)

Shrek 2 ✭✭✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) This smartsequel finds newlyweds Shrek (voiced byMike Myers) and Princess Fiona (CameronDiaz) contending with hostile in-laws(Fiona’s parents, voiced by John Cleeseand Julie Andrews). Plot complicationscome courtesy of a conniving fairy god-mother (Jennifer Saunders), who wantsFiona to marry Charming (Rupert Everett),her wannabe prince of a son. Felineswashbuckler Puss In Boots (AntonioBanderas) debuts as another “annoyingtalking animal” — the perfect third amigofor Shrek and his wisecracking sidekick,Donkey (Eddie Murphy). Although fast-moving and funny, the story’s biggeststrength lies in cartoon characters whoare more three-dimensional than the flesh-and-blood ones in current Hollywoodreleases. “Shrek 2” casts a magical spellwhile turning traditional myths upsidedown. Rated: PG for some crude humor,a brief substance reference and somesuggestive content. 1 hour, 33 minutes.— S.T. (Reviewed May 19, 2004)

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...andSpring ✭✭✭1/2(Century 16) Provocative, disquieting andthoroughly original, this Korean import is amoody valentine to transcendent living.Nestled in their idyllic floating temple onJusan Pond, Old Monk (veteran theateractor Oh Young-soo) and Young Monk(Jae-kyeong Seo) mark time by theunflappable rhythms of the seasons.Lessons are learned the hard way, with aneye-for-an-eye guilelessness and a linger-ing stamp of shame. The outside intrudesin the form of an ill young beauty whosojourns to the Buddhist refuge to experi-ence the healing powers of time stoodstill. Young Monk (grown-up Young-minKim) succumbs to heretofore unknowndesires, the pagan lust of the world ofmen that will lead him to an unhealthyobsession and the ultimate dark deed.Sophisticated serenity is this moodpiece’s hallmark. Lush and succinctimages support the twists and turns ofnature’s natural terms and the ruminationof man’s evident shortcomings. Elegantand unforgettable. Rated: Not rated, butcould be PG-13 for mild sexuality and dis-turbing images. In Korean with Englishsubtitles. 1 hour, 43 minutes. — J.A.(Reviewed April 16, 2004)

Super Size Me ✭✭✭1/2(CineArts) Everything is bigger in Americaaccording to Morgan Spurlock, who hascrafted a contemporary horror story bysubjecting himself to 30 solid days of aMcDonald’s-only diet. Under the supervi-sion of a cardiologist, a gastro-enterolo-gist, a nutritionist and a matter-of-factinternist, Spurlock explores the ritualdelights of fast-food frenzying, anAmerican tradition. The tension mounts ashe endeavors to complete his investiga-tion while racking up alarming symptomsthat seriously endanger his health. As hisweight and cholesterol balloon, Spurlock(who won the documentary director’sward at this year’s Sundance Film Festival)spouts frightening facts with the urgencyof a dead man walking. “Super Size Me”is reminiscent of Michael Moore’s slap-dash soap-boxing, but guaranteed tokeep you from darkening the door of fast-food institutions for years to come. Rated:Not Rated, but could be PG-13 for graph-ic images and innuendo. 1 hour, 38 min-utes. — J.A. (Reviewed May 7, 2004)

Troy ✭✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) This season’stestosterone treat is a cinematic triple-threat; a gritty historical epic sparklingwith entertainment value and beefcake.When Paris, prince of Troy (OrlandoBloom), falls for legendary beauty Helen,queen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), it ignitesa war that will ravage an entire civilization.The all-powerful and arrogantAgamemnon, King of the Mycenaeans(Brian Cox), is affronted by Paris’ riskydeed, declaring it an insult to his familyhonor, considering that Helen is betrothedto his brutish brother, King Menelaus(Brendan Gleeson). Troy is Agamemnon’starget, its conquest imperative for controlof the Aegean and the final piece of thepuzzle that represents his dynasty. ButTroy will not topple easily, marked by theleadership of dynamic King Priam (PeterO’Toole) and Paris’ noble brother, PrinceHector (Eric Bana). Power takes shape ina hostile engagement extravaganza, aTrojan War uniting the massive tribes ofGreece to seize Helen back from Troy.Enter renegade warlord Achilles (BradPitt), the greatest warrior for the greatestwar ever seen. “Troy” is cheerfully reminis-cent of the old-school epics, a “Ben-Hur”for the new millennium. Rated: R for nudi-ty and violence. 2 hours, 45 minutes. —J.A. (Reviewed May 14, 2004)

Van Helsing ✭✭(Century 16, Century 12) Hugh Jackman(“X-Men”) is the surly-looking Gabriel VanHelsing, whose mission is to battle sinisterforces in 19th-century Europe. VanHelsing’s latest assignment takes him andthe mousy Friar Carl (David Wenham) toremote Transylvania, where he is chargedwith killing Count Dracula (RichardRoxburgh). But Dracula and his trio ofbloodthirsty brides are well hidden frommortal eyes, and Van Helsing must joinforces with the sultry Anna Valerious (KateBeckinsale) in order to locate the count’ssecret tomb. Meanwhile, a vicious were-wolf is wreaking havoc on innocenttownsfolk and Dr. Victor Frankenstein’smisunderstood monster is conspicuouslymissing. Only Van Helsing has thestrength to stake Dracula, bury the were-wolf and locate Frankenstein’s troubledcreation. A paper-thin storyline supportsthe overload of computer-graphic imagery.Expect big box-office numbers and a mer-chandising blitz from “Van Helsing” — justdon’t expect a story or any semblance oflogic. Rated: PG-13 for non-stop creatureaction violence and frightening images,and for sensuality. 2 hours, 12 minutes. —T.H. (Reviewed May 7, 2004)

IF YOU’RE OVER FORTY

YOU’VE GOT THREE CHOICES:

A FURROWED BROW, BANGS,

OR BOTOX.

Aging happens to all of us, but that doesn’t mean you have to look old, or worse still,

cranky. Now with Botox, there’s a fast, safe and proven form of treatment that can

eliminate even your deepest wrinkles. But that doesn’t automatically mean Botox is for

everyone. Depending upon your skin’s condition, there’s a whole range of non-surgical

treatments that can be applied. Come in and talk to one of our medical practitioners

about what’s right for you. For a free consultation call (650) 324-9600. 701 Emerson St.,

Palo Altopins downa victory

Pinto’s homer,Stringer’s pitchingput PA in quarters

by Keith Peters

Max Pinto probably felt rightat home when he stepped tothe plate in the fourth in-

ning of Palo Alto’s Central CoastSection Division I baseball playoffopener Wednesday.

The Vikings trailed by two runsand needed a big move, somethingPinto is accus-tom to provid-ing.

During thewinter, Pintowrestles. Thesenior is used toturning thingsaround by grab-bing an oppo-nent and pin-ning him to themat. The onlydifference Wednesday was thatPinto was wearing a baseball uni-form and holding a bat. But, the re-sult was the same.

With one swing, Pinto changedthe complexion of the game andPalo Alto’s season. He ripped intoa 2-0 offering and bounced it offthe top of the chain-link fence inright field for a three-run home thatsparked the No. 6-seeded Vikingsto a 5-2 victory over No. 11 Leigh.

“Sometimes we struggle to getstarted,” said Pinto, whose one-outblast followed leadoff back-to-backwalks to Nathan Ford and ShaneParsons. “We need some kind ofignition to get us going.”

Pinto did just that, erasing a 2-0deficit and giving his team a 3-2advantage. The Vikings scoredtwice more in the fifth to make awinner out of senior David Stringer(8-5), who tossed a complete gamewith eight strikeouts and just onewalk.

John Ginanni scored on a wildpitch and Russ Hagemann scoredon Adam Dexter’s single to high-light the Vikings’ two-run fifth.

The triumph moves Palo Alto(19-9) into Saturday’s quarterfinalshowdown with No. 3-seeded St.Francis (29-2), which opened withan 11-1 victory over Santa Teresain five innings. The Lancers wonthe West Catholic Athletic Leagueregular-season title this season andwas ranked among the top five na-tionally at one point.

Saturday’s game is at San Jose’sPAL Stadium at 10 a.m. The win-ner will face either No. 7 Bel-larmine (23-12) or No. 2 Serra (22-8) on Wednesday at San Jose Mu-nicipal Stadium. The Division I ti-tle game will be Saturday, May 29at San Jose Muni.

This is Palo Alto’s third straighttrip to the CCS quarterfinals. The


MEN’S BASKETBALL

Stanford, Montyface challengesCardinal basketball coach leaves The Farmfor opportunity to coach the NBA’s Warriors

by Rick Eymer

M ike Montgomery apparently will accept thebiggest challenge of his basketball coachingcareer: turning the Golden State Warriors into

winners.Montgomery arrived at Stanford in 1986 from

Montana with little fanfare. His departure, however,has made national news.

Montgomery, who had a contract with Stanfordthrough 2008, met with the Cardinal players lateWednesday afternoon to discuss the situation, Stan-ford Media Relations Director Bob Vazquez con-firmed. While Montgomery had not officially accept-ed the Warriors’ offer as of Thursday morning, it ap-pears to be just a matter of firming up the details.

“He thanked us for our hard work and said he’smoving on,” said one member of the Stanford basket-ball team who wished to remain anonymous. Mont-gomery reportedly talked for 20 minutes, duringwhich some of his players had tears in their eyes.When he was done, Montgomery hugged each of hisplayers before they left.

Warriors’ head coach Eric Musselman was official-ly fired Thursday morning, though he said he was toldby Golden State executive vice president of basketballoperations Chris Mullin he was gone on Wednesdayevening.

“The team certainly showed some progress the lastcouple of years and Eric should be given some of thecredit,” said Mullin. “This was a difficult decision.”

Montgomery reportedly has been offered a four-year deal by the Warriors that could be worth up to


David Stringer


Sports

$10 million.Montgomery could be hired as

early as today. By remaining in theBay Area, Montgomery doesn’thave to move his family. Mont-gomery leaves Stanford after 18successful seasons, during which hecompiled a 393-167 record andmade 10 consecutive appearances inthe NCAA tournament.

At least Montgomery alreadyknows his way around the Arena inOakland, having coached Stanfordto several big wins there in the PeteNewell Challenge, including one ofthe most exciting victories in schoolhistory - an 84-83 win over Dukeduring the 2000-01 season. CaseyJacobsen sank the winning shot forthe Cardinal, but now he’s suddenlyMontgomery’s rival. Jacobsen playsfor the Phoenix Suns.

Mike Dunleavy scored 13 pointsfor Duke that day. Dunleavy is sud-

denly one of Montgomery’s playerswith the Warriors.

Montgomery has sustained onelosing season in 25 years of coach-ing. The Warriors have not madethe NBA playoffs in 10 years, thelongest current futility streak in theleague.

Before Montgomery arrived atStanford, the basketball programmanaged to win 20 or more gamesjust five times, and none came after1942. Montgomery’s teams won 20or more games in 13 of his 18 sea-sons on The Farm.

In fact, Montgomery-coachedteams have won 32 percent of allStanford victories (1,246) since theprogram’s inception in 1913.

Between 1973 and 1986, Stanfordhad one winning season. Mont-gomery had winning records ineach of his first six seasons with theCardinal.

The highly decorated HowieDallmar, also among Stanford’s leg-endary playing greats, had a streak

of six winning seasons between1961 and 1966, and he’s the secondmost successful coach in Cardinalhistory. Montgomery had winningrecords in each of his last 11 yearsat Stanford.

Stanford suddenly becomes ateam in transition, with the immi-nent loss of junior All-AmericanJosh Childress. The assistant coach-es, including Tony Fuller and Men-lo School and Stanford grad EricReveno, remain on the payroll tomonitor the daily routine, which in-cludes recruiting.

Fuller, a former head coach atPepperdine, could be a candidate toassume the head coaching position.Former Stanford assistants TrentJohnson, who coached Nevada to itsmost successful season ever thisyear, and Willis Wilson, now atRice, also have been mentionedalong with Gonzaga coach MarkFew.

Another prominent name, Ore-gon’s Ernie Kent, has been bandied

about, though the former Stanfordassistant and St. Mary’s head coachis an Oregon grad and is among themost successful coaches in Ducks’history.

Montgomery steps into the fishbowl world of the NBA in whichhis every move will be scrutinizedand second-guessed, and where re-spect is grudgingly earned.

College coaches who join theNBA ranks rarely do well. LonKruger, Rick Pitino, John Calipari,Tim Floyd and P.J. Carlesimo failedmore often than they succeeded inthe pro ranks. Carlesimo, one of themany unsuccessful coaches in War-riors history, is known more for get-ting choked by one of his players.

Carlesimo, in his first year as anNBA coach, went 44-38 with Port-land. The rest had losing seasons.Pitino has since returned to nationalprominence in the college ranks.

Larry Brown has coached suc-cessfully at both levels, but is moreknown for his globe-trotting ways.

He rarely sticks with one team verylong. He coached at UCLA (1980-81) and Kansas (1984-88) for a totalof five years in his 31 years ofcoaching, and Brown also playedprofessionally.

Montgomery thrives on stability,and establishing a system in whichplayers know their role. The pointguard is a integral part of Mont-gomery’s schemes, and the pointguard may be the most importantposition at the NBA level as well.Think Magic Johnson, or JasonKidd.

Yet for all his feelings of loyaltyand stability, Montgomery has yetto back down from a challenge, andcoaching the Golden State Warriorsshould serve as his ultimate chal-lenge. Does Montgomery have whatit takes to deal with the mentality ofthe player-driven NBA?

Musselman was the most success-ful coach for the Warriors since thedeparture of Don Nelson and yet heoften clashed with his players. ■

For those who can’t get to LongBeach in July for the U.S.Olympic Swimming Trials, a

preview of that will be held thisweekend at the 37th annual SantaClara International Invitational.

The majority of those swimmerswho will earn a berth on the 2004U.S. Olympic team that competesin Athens, Greece, in August, willbe continuing their tuneups for thetrials at the George Haines Interna-tional Swim Center today throughSunday.

If one event supports that claim,it’s the men’s 100-meter back-stroke on Sunday. The field is soloaded, there are more top com-petitors than lanes.

“This will be the best heat of theyear until the trials,” said TedKnapp, the Stanford men’s assis-tant coach.

To start, the men’s 100 back fea-tures history’s top three in LennyKrayzelburg, Aaron Peirsol andJeff Rouse. Add in Stanford gradRandal Bal at No. 8 all-time andStanford senior Peter Marshall(No. 16), and you’ve got a previewof the U.S. Olympic team in theevent.

“Without a doubt,” Knapp said.There’s also Stanford senior

Markus Rogan (history’s No. 11performer who swims for Austria),junior Jayme Cramer, AndrewDavidson of Texas, Cardinal gradDan Westcott and, oh yes, a fellownamed Michael Phelps, who is toU.S. swimming as Ian Thorpe is toAustralia.

The men’s 100 back is truly alook at USA’s swimming past,present and future.

The past is Rouse, who set aworld record of 53.86 on the goldmedal-winning 400 medley relayat the 1992 Summer Games in

Barcelona. After being ranked No.1 in the world for eight straightyears and winning the gold medalin the 100 back in the 1996 AtlantaGames, Rouse retired. He hascome out of a six-year retirementat age 34 for one final shot at theOlympics.

The present is Krayzelburg, 29,the current world and Americanrecordholder at 53.60. He followedRouse to the victory stand in 2000,winning the gold at the SydneyGames.

The future (some believe he’sthe present, as well) is the xx-year-old Peirsol, who swims for Texasand ranks No. 2 in history with a53.61. He also has the No. 5 per-formance of all-time (53.71 on arelay), in addition to hold theworld record of 1:55.15 in the 200back, an event in which Krayzel-burg holds the Olympic record(1:56.76).

Rouse, Krayzelburg and Peirsolhave combined for nine of the 10fastest 100 back times in history.

Ex-Stanford teammates Bal(54.24) and Marshall (54.74) alsorank among the all-time top 25performers and will be in LongBeach in July battling Rouse,Krayzelburg and Peirsol for thetwo available Olympic teamberths. There may be no otherevent at the Olympic trials as com-petitive as the men’s 100 back.

The women’s fields also will beloaded with recordholders andthose attempting to earn berths toAthens.

Cal senior Natalie Coughlin, theworld recordholder in the 100-me-ter back (59.58), is entered in nu-merous events this weekend. Thewomen’s breaststroke events fea-ture 2000 Olympians MeganQuann and Staciana Stitts, plusStanford senior Tara Kirk andKristy Kowal. ■

STANFORD ROUNDUP

Cardinalare No. 1in nation

But baseball hostsUSC as the No. 2

team in the Pac-10

by Rick Eymer

This week’s polls have theStanford baseball teamranked No. 1 in the nation

again. This weekend, the Cardi-nal must prove they deserve theacclaim.

Stanford will have that opportu-nity beginning tonight at 6 p.m.when the Cardinal open a very im-portant three-game series withUSC in Sunken Diamond.

While the Cardinal is No. 1 inAmerica, they are only No. 2 inthe Pac-10 Conference. Losingtwo of three to host Arizona lastweekend dropped Stanford a half-game behind Washington (14-7 inthe conference).

Stanford bounced back with a 3-1 nonconference win over visitingSan Francisco on Tuesday nightand now sets its sights on USC.Stanford is 12-6 (40-10) while theTrojans are 8-10 (22-28). TheCardinal has reached 40 wins to aschool-record 10 straight years.

The Cardinal have a 16-gamewin streak in Sunken Diamond, a23-1 record this season and haswon 32 of its past 33 at home.That streak continued Tuesdayagainst USF (26-30). Four Stan-ford pitchers limited the Dons toone run and four hits with starterGreg Reynolds (4-1) earning thevictory and Matt Manship pickingup his third save of the season.John Hester was 2-for-3 with adouble, two RBI and a stolen baseto lead the Cardinal offense. JedLowrie (2-2, SB) and Chris Lewis(2-3) also had two-hit games.

SoftballSixth-ranked Stanford (43-16)

opened postseason play last nightagainst Utah in NCAA Division Iregional action.

Second-round winners’-bracketgames are today at 12:30 p.m. and3 p.m., with Stanford favored to beplaying in the latter contest. A vic-tory today will move the Cardinalinto Saturday’s semifinals at 1 p.m.The championship game will beSunday at 1 p.m., with a challengegame (if necessary) following at3:30 p.m.

All games are at Stanford.A number of Stanford players

and coaches were honored thisweek on the all-conference team.Coach of the Year was awarded toStanford head coach John Rittman.

Rittman guided Stanford to its

best Pac-10 finish in school history.Rittman led the Cardinal to a 43-16mark this season, including aschool-best 13 Pac-10 victories.This is the seventh consecutive 40+win season for the Cardinal.

Five Cardinal players earned All-Pac-10 Conference honors includ-ing three first-team selections inJessica Allister, Dana Sorensen andLauren Lappin. Sophomore Catali-na Morris was a second-team selec-tion while freshman Jackie Rine-hart was an honorable mentionpick.

Vikings are seeking their thirdstraight 20-win season in their thirdconsecutive appearance in the sec-tion tournament.

Conventional thinking says PaloAlto has no chance against the high-ly touted Lancers. Palo Alto coachPete Colombo, however, believesotherwise. Colombo played baseballat Serra and remembers the battleshis team had with Bellarmine andSt. Francis.

“There’s this whole mystique,”Colombo said of the WCAL, whichhas seven of its eight teams in theCCS playoffs. “But, as I tell myguys, they put their pants on thesame way, one leg at a time.”

It also must be noted that in theLancers’ second loss, 14-13 to Bel-larmine, St. Francis took a three-runlead into the seventh before blowingit. More importantly, the Lancershave lost starting shortstop KyleSpraker for the rest of the season.The Cal-bound Spraker was hit inthe face with a pitch last weekagainst Serra and suffered a brokennose and cheekbone.

Colombo, however, knows histeam must be at its best.

“We can’t have any breakdowns,”Colombo said, “because they’ll takeadvantage of that.”

Added Pinto: “In order to beat ateam like that, we’re going to haveto play our best.”

Pinto, however, said Paly won’tbe intimidated. Most of the playerson both teams know each otherfrom Babe Ruth days.

“We’re a team that could upset ateam like St. Francis,” he said.“We’re fortunate to get a chance toshowcase ourselves in front of thebest.”

Palo Alto will have to be even

better than it was against Leigh. TheVikings had only four hits and didcommit two errors, still a far cryfrom the 11 errors committed theprevious week in the final twogames of the regular season.

Paly also won’t have Stringer onthe mound. The senior right-handerhas kept the Vikings in a lot ofgames this season and was at hissolid best against Leigh. Despite be-ing touched for two runs in the firsttwo innings, Stringer retired 10straight batters from the thirdthrough sixth innings. That streakended on a two-out single, whichwas followed by a bad-hop singleover the head of shortstop Russ

Hagemann.With runners at first and third,

however, Stringer ended the threatby inducing a weak comebacker tothe mound.

“This game was David Stringer’scareer in a nutshell,” Colombo said.“Get him the lead, and he takes overthe game.”

The CCS Division III tournamentbegins today with No. 6-seededMenlo (21-5) taking on No. 3 Pacif-ic Grove (22-11) at Santa ClaraUniversity’s Buck Shaw Stadium at4 p.m. Following that game will beNo. 2 Sacred Heart Prep (19-5)against No. 7 King’s Academy (18-8) at 7 p.m. ■

It’s hats off for Paly’s Russ Hagemann, who scoredthe final run in the Vikings’ win over Leigh.

Senior Max Pinto can’t contain his joy after hitting athree-run homer to give Paly a 3-2 lead.

S t. Francis had the top team, butGunn had the best individual atthe Central Coast Section gym-

nastics championships this week atGymtowne in San Bruno.

The Lancers, as expected, defend-ed their title with 189.575 points andtied Gunn’s record of five straightsection titles. While the Titansweren’t able to return to their cham-pionship team form, freshman Kay-lyn Reyes did keep the school’s his-tory of elite performances intact.

Reyes won two individual events,tied for the lead in another and cap-tured the all-around title while help-ing Gunn score 180.125 and finishthird behind St. Francis and Aragon(183.325).

Reyes tied with the Lancers’ Lin-da Lund for first in the vault (9.750),won the floor exercise (9.775) andtook second on the beam (9.775).Where she really stood out was onthe uneven bars. As the last per-former of the meet, Reyes swungthrough the most difficult bar routingof the evening and topped it off witha double back somersault that soaredwell above the high bar.

The crowd erupted with cheersand roared again when Reyes wasawarded a perfect 10.000, a recordfor CCS competition. With that,Reyes wrapped up the all-around ti-tle with a season high of 39.475.

“We were thrilled to finish on sucha high note,” said Gunn coach RonLudwig. “We totaled our highestteam score of the season and broke180 for the first time in Gunn histo-ry. We moved up a notch from ourfourth-place finish last year, andlook toward ‘05 with optimism.”

GolfOn a day when they needed to be

at their best, the Paly golfers finishedfifth in the CCS tournament andmissed qualifying for the NorCaltournament.

The Vikings shot 388 on the par-71 Rancho Canada West course inCarmel Valley as Will Haydon (73),Natty Stern (76), John Robinson(77), Max Rausch (79) and AndyLivingston (83) fell 24 strokes shortof repeating as NorCal qualfiers.

“Paly didn’t play its best golf andthe teams that qualified for NorCalshot some great scores,” said Palycoach Gerry Benton. “Teams thattook top honors (Bellarmine, R.L.Stevenson and St. Francis) areperennially very good teams andtough to beat. I was disappointed forWill, Andy, John, Natty and Maxthat no one qualified as an individ-ual.”

The only local qualifier to reachNorCals was Menlo School’s ColinPeck. He shot a 1-over-par 72 thatput him in a five-way tie for the sixthplace. After two playoff holes quali-

fied two players, it went down tosudden death among the remainingthree players for the one remainingNorCal berth.

Peck sank a one-foot par putt onthe extra hole to advance to nextweek’s tournament. Menlo-Ather-ton’s Blake Kiernan shot 77 andfailed to advance.

LacrosseThe Menlo boys and girls swept

the PAL playoff titles on Saturday atWoodside High. The girls romped toan 18-5 victory over Gunn while theboys held off Bellarmine, 11-7.

Senior Chrissy Guibara led Menlo(15-6) with five goals and three as-sists. Ashley Porter added threegoals and three assists while SophiaZahoudanis, Erica Swanson andCaroline Crandall all added twogoals each.

In the boys’ match, Jack Sullivanled the Knights with fur goals andfour assists while Jack Miller addedtwo goals and an assist as Menlocapped a fine 26-7 season. TimotFelker scored three times and MattMoone added two goals.
