It may have taken a bit longer than expected, but
construction is likely to begin this summer on Campbells
newest senior living facility, Merrill Gardens. The project,
which has been in the works since late 2007, received final
approval from the city at the most recent Campbell City
Council meeting on May 3.
Ryan Leong, development manager for Merrill Gardens,
said the large project had been put on hold due to the slug-
gish economy.
We got caught like everybody else in the economic
downturn, Leong said. We got approvals in 2009 and
right at that time was the start of the recession. There was
no construction financing available and that has really been
the sole reason for the delay.
Now that financing is more accessible, Leong said he
hopes construction will begin in August and be completed
in 18 months.
Currently, the site between 2041-2127 Winchester Blvd.
where Merrill Gardens will be built is occupied by 31,300
square feet of retail space and two residential units. All
the standing buildings will be demolished to make way for
some new retail and a large senior housing complex featur-
ing a dementia unit.
Campbell resident Lorraine Lawson opened her art
studio in January in one of the buildings that will be torn
down.
Ive been on a month to month agreement from the
beginning, knowing that eventually this would be happen-
ing, Lawson said in an email. My landlord and property
manager have been up-front about the status from the be-
ginning and Ive been grateful for that. Ive accomplished a
lot in this location and Ill stay until the bulldozer arrives.

S
ummer is around the cor-
ner, which means the smell
of outdoor grilling will soon
fill the air. But some residents
have gotten a head start on their
barbecue cravings by stopping by
one of Campbells newest restau-
rants, Little Lous BBQ.
Little Lous officially opened
at 2455 S. Winchester Blvd. on
March 20 and, while it may be
new to the Campbell scene, the
restaurant has long been a local
favorite. For more than 10 years,
Little Lous operated out of a
small space in Los Gatos.
To say it was a hole-in-the-
wall is being nice, said owner
Lance Wagner of the restaurants
previous location. There were
about eight tables and you could
fit maybe 25 people inside.
He said that he had been look-
ing to expand Little Lous when
he happened to drive by the
Campbell Plaza Shopping Center
and noticed a for-lease sign.
I liked the location, I liked the
parking and the rent was a big
part of it, too, Wagner said.
The spot had been vacant for
about nine months, and was
previously occupied by a travel
agency and a sushi restaurant.
Wagner said a lot of work went
into preparing the space for his
business.
We signed the lease here in
June of 2010 and it took almost
a year with all the permits and
stuff, he said. The whole place
was gutted and we had 26 inspec-
tions but we got it done and it
worked out pretty well.
Wagner added that he has ap-
preciated all the support from the
Orchard Citys staff and its resi-
dents.
The city of Campbell has
been great and everybody at the
Chamber of Commerce, too. And
the two owners here are some of
the nicest owners Ive ever met
in my life, he said. Its nice to
come into an environment where
they honestly care. You dont see
that a lot.
Wagner said he is looking for-
ward to the improvements that
will soon be made to Winchester
Boulevard as part of the citys
Winchester Master Plan. The
plan includes pedestrian improve-
ments to sidewalks and crossings,
as well as enhanced street light-
ing and trees.
Its exciting for us because
were already doing well, and
with the improvements, that will
get more people over here.
Hes also planning on working
with some of the other tenants
in the shopping center, including
the CineLux Plaza Theatre.
Little Lous may have changed
its location, but Wagner said the
menu has been maintained and
the atmosphere improved.
Were keeping it simple and
consistent and high quality, he
said.
So the chicken, ribs and hun-
gry man lunch special that guests
have grown to love will all remain
unchanged. But the new space
did allow Wagner to make some
upgrades.
The new addition here is the
bar. We didnt do beer or wine
at the other place at all, he said.
A lot of people that knew the
restaurant before see some of the
big differences like air condition-
ing, bathrooms and french fries.
Most importantly, the sauce
that has covered local fingers and
faces for years has stuck around.
The sauce is really good,
Wagner said. Its not too smoky,
but has a really good flavor. Its
more of a South Carolina style
because theres a little vinegar in
it.
Little Lous fans can enjoy the
taste of the restaurants signature
sauce even when dining at home.
Both the original and spicy ver-
sions are available at Lunardis
markets and will soon be for sale
at Costco as well. Little Lous
sauce is also the official barbecue
sauce of the San Jose Giants, so
local baseball fans can enjoy the
tasty topping when out at ball
games.
Sports are the theme of Little
Lous with a number of memora-
bilia items hanging on the walls
representing football, baseball
and hockey, and Wagner said he
plans on making that an integral
part of the restaurants appeal.
Weve got lots of TVs for

The Campbell City Coun-
cil and information technol-
ogy staff have been working
together since 2010 to create
an overview of the citys cur-
rent technology infrastruc-
tures and a projection of fu-
ture needs and investments.
At their May 3 meeting,
council members unani-
mously adopted the Technol-
ogy Master Plan. The plan
highlighted the fact that the
majority of the citys hard-
ware is approaching the end
of its usable life and several
software applications need
replacing.
City information technol-
ogy manager Jeffrey Gersha-
neck also pointed out that
Campbell currently stores
its servers in-house and that
moving to the cloud would
be beneficial.
He explained that cloud
technology would not re-
quire large capital expenses
or licensing new software,
would allow the city to easily
increase or decrease capacity
and expedite disaster recov-
ery.
Gershaneck reported that
the only downside to cloud
technology is the need for
strong network connectivity.
If all your information
is in the cloud, you have to
make sure you can access it,
he said.
Before the council voted,
vice mayor Mike Kotowski
recalled that during his pre-
vious stint with the Campbell
City Council in the 1980s,
some members were hesi-
tant to make the switch from
plug-in phones to modern
phones.
People thought if it aint
broke dont fix it, he said
with a laugh. Ill definitely
support this motion.
Campbell will consider use of cloud technology

The recent suicides of two 14-
year-oldMinnesotagirlswhofelt
they were bullied by their peers
has brought the issue into sharp
focus, as worried parents look
for ways to combat bullying and
its more recent incarnationcy-
berbullying. Simply put, cyber-
bullying is willful and repeated
harminflictedthroughtheuseof
electronic devices.
On the surface, it may seem
the only difference between
cyberbullying and the old-fash-
ioned type of bullying is that
one is done in cyberspace and
the other usually takes place on
school playgrounds.
The playground has gotten
muchbigger,saidmarriageand
family therapist Holly Pedersen,
who spoke at an April 24 work-
shop sponsored by Congrega-
tion Shir Hadash in Los Gatos.
Cyberspace is the new neigh-
borhood,shesaid.
Pedersen cited a recent study
that shows 37 percent of the
teens polled said they had used
social media sites such as Face-
book and YouTube to make
fun of other teens. She also said
girls cyberbully more often than
boys.
Cyberbullying may start in
elementary school and peaks in
middle school, Pedersen said.
It tapers off in 11th and 12th
grades.
Although she did not know
the size of the student sample,
Pedersen cited another study
that showed 25 percent of the
kids surveyed said theyd been
bullied. The result is children
who feel shame and failure and
suffer from low self-esteem and
eating disorders. They have
little energy left for learning or
developing good social skills,
Pedersensaid.
Pedersen oversees a bullying
preventionprogramrunby Jew-
ish Family and Childrens Ser-
vices and developed a bullying
training program for inner city
schools in Southern California.
Soshes seenfirst-handthetypes
of bullies that are most com-
mon.
For example, she described
Mean Girls as being bored,
immature egotists who are look-
ing for ways to boost their social
status. The Vengeful Angel
doesnt see him or herself as a
bully. Theygenerallyworkalone
and are trying to right a per-

gry cyberbully who Pedersen

When it comes to com-
munity service, Campbell
and neighboring Willow
Glen know that two is bet-
ter than one.
The Rotary clubs of both
areas have joined forces
in an effort to better serve
local communities. Camp-
bell Rotary Clubs 40-plus
members have officially
been joined by 10 from Wil-
low Glens club, and repre-
sentatives from both groups
say its a perfect match.
The joining represents
a powerful step in further-
ing Rotarys humanitarian
services and it means the
Campbell Club will be able
to serve a wider area ex-
tending to San Jose West
and now the beautiful Wil-
low Glen community, said
Ravi Chari, president of
Campbell Rotary Club.
All 50 Rotarians will op-
erate under the Campbell
clubs name, but the proj-
ects initiated by the original
Willow Glen members will
be continued. Chari said
that Campbell will welcome
some very seasoned mem-
bers who have done major
fundraising projects.
Former Willow Glen
Rotary Club president and
secretary Mike Anderson
said his group had a lot of
experience because each
member had to serve in
several ways.
It started to become
evident at the beginning of
this year that we were hav-
ing to wear too many hats,
Anderson said. Because
of the requirements of
Rotary, everyone had too
many jobs. We have busi-
nesses, families and we just
couldnt do it anymore.
Anderson said his club
began to look around for a
partner and that Campbell
made a good impression.
The Campbell club
members were eager. They
would come to our meet-
ings and made it clear they
really wanted us, he said.
This is not the first time
Campbells club has ex-
tended its boundaries. A
few years ago the San Jose
West Rotary Club was ab-
sorbed by the Orchard
City.

Breathe Los Gatos to host yoga
event as benefit for Japan relief
ByCASEYJAY
While news of extreme
weather across the United States
makes headlines, many people
arestill thinkingof afar-awayna-
tionthat sofar this year has been
hit the hardest. Japan is recover-
ing from the destruction caused
by earthquakes and a tsunami
weeks ago, and the total extent
of the damage caused is still un-
known.
In comparison, those natural
disasters caused minor harm to
Californias coast, but many lo-
cal residents are taking the suf-
fering across the Pacific Ocean
toheart.
Breathe Los Gatos, a yoga
studio new to the area this year,
will host a Japan relief event on
May 14 called Be the Change.
All the of the funds raised at
the event will be donated by
Citizen Effect to the American
Red Crosss Japan Earthquake
andPacific Tsunami fund, which
provides aid and emergency ser-
vices to earthquake and tsunami
victims.
Amanda Brandt, market-
ing and business director for
Breathe, said the idea to put the
event together camenaturally.
We thought about it on the
premise that yoga is pretty well
intrinsically related to the Japa-
neseculture,Brandt said.
She added that there is a per-
sonal connectiontotheailingna-
tionas well.
We have a lot of Japanese
families, so there is a large tie to
the Japanese community, she
said. Alot of peoplearecoming
topayrespect tothecountry.
Brandt herself has lived in Ja-
pan and experienced the hospi-
talityof thepeople there.
IvebeentoJapantwicewhen
I played soccer internationally
and I stayed in home-stays both
times, she said. Everyone was
sowarmandloving and wonder-
ful, Idlovetobeabletohelpev-
eryoneout there.
The relief event will last all
day, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and
ending at 9 p.m., allowing resi-
dents many different opportuni-
ties for participation. Raffle and
silent auction items will be avail-
able throughout the day, and
residents will have some exciting
prizestocompetefor, suchasGi-
ants tickets, massage treatments,
private label wines, a lesson for
two from Santa Cruz Stand Up
Paddle Co. and a Lululemon
Yogastarter kit.
More activities will take place
into the afternoon, with a dona-
tion-based Facilitated Yin work-
shopledbyMisako Matsuoka at
3:30p.m. Thesuggested price for
thetwo-hour class is $45, but res-
idents can pay what they choose
and all of the proceeds will go
towardthecause.
Therewill alsobecomplimen-
tary food and drink available
fromlocal vendors reflecting the
Japanese culture. Michi Sushi in
Campbell will donate sushi and
Breathe will provide appetiz-
ers from its in-house Mandala
Tea House. Wine is also being
donated by Cin-Cin Winebar in
Los Gatos.
At 6 p.m. guests will have the
chance to partake in another
special beverage.
Were doing a traditional
Japaneseteaceremony,Brandt
said. Its really sacred and tra-
ditional, and it will also be kind
of a moment of silence for the
victims.
Breathe is also displaying a
ShintoPrayer Tree, an early spir-
itual tradition in Japan. Guests
can leave messages and prayers
of hope on wooden placards,
which will later be mailed to a
family in northern Japan, trans-
lated into Japanese and distrib-
utedtopeopleinthearea.
Breathe Los Gatos just
openedinJanuaryandthis relief
event is its first fundraising activ-
ity, but not its last.
We plan to do four annual

At the May 3 meeting,
Campbells council gave a sec-
ond reading of an ordinance
approving some modifications
to the original plans for Mer-
rill Gardens. Leong said the
most notable change was fo-
cusing the complex solely on
senior residents.
Were no longer going to
include any market rate apart-
ments. Its completely a senior
project now, he said.
The modifications also in-
cluded a reduction in height
on the retail portion of the
project and the elimination
of a residential space above
it. Changes were also made
to reflect the requirements of
the Winchester Master Plan,
which emphasizes pedes-
trian improvements to a long
stretch of the street.
City associate planner Steve
Prosser said the Merrill Gar-
dens project was approved
before the Winchester plan
was adopted, but that some
components were worked into
the design.
Its mainly the off-site
parts of the master plan that
have been incorporated, like
increased sidewalk space,
improved street lighting and
trees and underground utili-
ties, Prosser said.
While the project is still
about two years from comple-
tion, Leong said Campbell
residents can look forward to
what the finished product will
offer the community.
This would be the premier
senior housing community in
Campbell, he said. There is
nothing that exists today that
stands up to the standards that
were building this to. Merrill
Gardens is very excited to get
this project going and I think
its going to be a great addition
to downtown Campbell and
Winchester Boulevard.

nently scarred by their actions.
For example, cyberbullying is
nowconsidered a hate crime that
can follow children throughout
their lives.
Furthermore, because cyber-
bullying is usually done anony-
mously, kids often think they
cant get caught. Theyre clue-
less that they can be found out,
Union Middle Schools Melissa
Schwartz said.
Several parents at the work-
shop commented on the reluc-
tance of schools to get involved
in the issue. There was a prob-
lemat Los Gatos High School a
few years ago involving texting,
and they hushed it up, a parent
said.
Schools are afraid to impose
on freedom of speech, par-
ticularly if it doesnt happen at
school, Pedersen said, but she
also cited a case where a school
didbecomedirectly involved.
I had an incident where a
13-year-old girls phone was left
on a bench, and a boy stole it
and posted that so and so had
sexual intercourse, Pedersen
said. The boy was banned by
his parents and the school from
usingFacebookfor a year.
Althoughpunishments are
hardtoenforcegiventheprolif-
erationof technology, Pedersen
says theyneedtobedoledout.
To ensure your childs online
safety, Pedersen says kids have
told her they want supervision,
not snoopervision, be curious
but not judgmental about the
world kids live in, teach them
how to deal with conflict and
monitor Internet use.

A NEWSPAPER
Campbell comes
through when
Los Gatos doesnt
At the beginning of
April, I took my wife to
the downhill skiing facility
at Squaw Valley, and then
I proceeded to the cross-
country area.
It was a slow day, and
the CHP officer hadnt
met his ticket quota, so
I was given a fix-it ticket
because one of my brake
lights wasnt working.
I replaced the light bulb
and then went to the Los
Gatos Police Department
and was informed that
since the LGPD had not
issued the ticket, I would
have to pay $26 to have
an officer verify that the
repair had been made.
Next I went to the
Campbell police and
discovered that they have
an officer on duty Monday
through Friday from noon
to 1 p.m. who signs these
types of tickets without
charge.
I want to commend the
Campbell Police Depart-
ment for providing this
service.

Los Gatos
O
h, no, what did I do?
Im not quite sure, but
whatever it was has
drastically impacted my at-
tempts to watch my televi-
sion. I can get the picture on
the screen, but no sound. Or
I can get the sound, but no
picture.
It all happened because I
must have pushed the wrong
button on the wrong remote
at the wrong time. But who
in the world can figure out
those crazy remote controls
anyway? Its just not like it
used to be.
When I was a kid, TV
viewing was pretty simple:
Switch on the set, select one
of three stations and turn the
volume knob to the desired
level then walk over to
the couch, plop down and
watch the program, commer-
cials and all.
There were few choices
then. Our channels were
limited to NBC, CBS and
ABC, with a few other sta-
tions available when the rab-
bit ears could be twisted in
just the right direction (yeah,
thats right I said rabbit
ears).
Televisions came with just
two basic control knobs
one for volume and the other
for station selection (there
were others for things like
horizontal hold, vertical hold
and contrast, but Dad threat-
ened our lives, or at least our
backsides, if we ever touched
them).
There were no remote
controls, no DVRs, no cable
just a channel called UHF
that produced only snow but
offered a promise of radical
things to come. And a satel-
lite dish? Well, the only sat-
ellite we knew of was Sput-
nik, and a dish could either
be a dinner plate or Marilyn
Monroe (remember, that
was pre-the latest feminist
wave).
But, as they say, weve
come a long way, baby. We
no longer refer to an attrac-
tive woman as a dish, and we
no longer have to get off the
couch to change channels on
the television.
The remote control has
revolutionized TV viewing.
Its now possible to adjust
the volume, surf hundreds
of stations, mute the sound
during commercials and fast
forward or pause a television
show, all without ever lifting
your behind off the couch.
Its remarkable.
Trouble is, as one of those
electronically-challenged
guys, the remotes are just
way too complicated for me.
But I still love the remote.
And even if I dont always
know the right buttons to
push, I still push the buttons.
Could I please have the
remote? asked my son the
other day.
Why? I asked right
back.
Because youre driving
me crazy! he screamed.
Well, that didnt seem like
a very good reason to me, so
I continued to punch the but-
tons in search of a program
that looked interesting. But
I must have punched the
wrong buttons, because red
lights started flashing and no
button I pushed would make
them stop or change any
function on the TV.
So I said, OK, you can
have the remote, and I
tossed it to him.
Good, you were He
stopped in mid-sentence
when he saw the flashing
lights.
You idiot! he cried.
What the heck did you
do?
Uh, well, um, I stam-
mered, Im not really sure.
Like I said, I dont really
understand all of this elec-
tronic stuff. When I was a
kid, we had a television set,
a record player and a couple
of radiosone that plugged
into the wall, and one a tran-
sistor and they were both
AM. That was the extent of
our electronic entertainment
system.
Now, we have so much
electronic stuff that the wall
in our family room looks like
a Best Buy display case.
We have the TV, the
DVR, the receiver and a
DVD player. And to oper-
ate all of this equipment, we
dont have just one remote
we have three! How they
interact with one another I
dont really know, even after
the kid conducted something
of a remote clinic for Natalie
and me.
To turn on the television,
you push this button on this
remote, then to get to the
DVR you push that button
on that remote, and if you
want sound, you take the
third remote and
I tried to follow along,
but I understood my college
psych professor better than I
did this remote lesson and
I got a D in psychology!
What do I do if I just want
to turn on the TV and watch
the evening news? I asked.
Go upstairs and watch it
on the TV in your room, he
said. That one only has one
remote.
Well, that sounds simple
enough.

Yoga For All
From expectant mothers to grandfathers, and all
those in between, yoga has something for everyone
A
s the clock ticked down to
her due date, a very pregnant
Kirsten Guerrettaz chanted,
Om, shanti, shanti, along with
eight other pregnant women who
attend a yoga class at Harmony in
Campbell thats designed to make
their condition and delivery just a bit
more comfortable.
Shanti means peace, and Har-
mony is a yoga studio that is dedi-
cated to pregnant women and new-
borns.
Yoga, once considered a self-real-
ization hobby for hippies, is becom-
ing increasingly popular as people
young and old realize that its health
benefits arent as tough on the body
as the old no pain, no gain axiom.
Guerrettaz has been coming to the
class for a fewmonths. I think it was
harder in the beginning, she said.
A friend of mine was coming and
she told me to come. I thought it was
a great thing to do.
As the hour-long class continued,
instructor Nanci Tudish told the
women to squat with their backs
against the wall. Youre helping the
baby to keep its head down, Tudish
said. It helps with the birth and in-
continence and builds strength.
With soft music playing in the
background and windows covered
by dark curtains, Tudish instructed
the women on breathing the baby
down.
Keeping your eyes closed, move
your fingers, wiggle your toes, take a
deep breath into your hearts for your
babies, she said.
Toward the end of the class, the
womenformeda circle aroundGuer-
rettaz and offered her their blessing.
Trust your body; it knows what to
do, Tudish intoned. Your baby
knows what to do.
Tudish says her childbirth prepa-
ration classes include special training
that helps ensure safe deliveries. If
you remember one thing from my
class, its to exhale, she said. For
labor to go well, a woman needs to
feel safe and emotionally comfort-
able. Pregnant women are looking
for help and theyre looking for con-
nections. So this helps to give them a
sense of normalcy.
Once their babies are born, the
new mothers can return to Harmony
for baby and mom classes. The
moms get some exercise, Harmo-
nys owner Kristin Evans said. The
babies do whatever babies docry,
eat, play, sleep. Its flexible for moms
because they cant go to a regular ex-
ercise class with a new baby. So its
a place where babies are not only
welcome, but incorporated into the
activities.
The Yoga Center of Los Gatos
also helps mothers-to-be adapt to
their changing bodies. Its run by for-
mer Los Gatos mayor Jan Hutchins,
who discovered yoga as a teenager.
When I was in high school, I was fat
and confused and bit my fingernails,
Hutchins said. I was looking for a
way to change.
Then Hutchins read a book by
Richard Hittleman that was writ-
ten in the 1960s. He was one of the
first to write about yoga, Hutchins
said. He connected nail biting with
fear, and it gave me some notion of
inner dynamicsthat my behavior
was something inside of me; it wasnt
external.
Hutchins, who is now 62 and in
prime physical condition, opened
his yoga center 10 years ago. Most
people, when they do their spiritual
quest, they go to the Himalayas, he
said. AndlookingtowardTownPlaza
Park, Hutchins asked, Why not Los
Gatos? Where is there a place where
people can go and be safe? We help
each other transform. Were a com-
munity.
Indeed, Hutchins states un-
equivocally that the studio be-
longs to the community of people
who come there. The place isnt
really mine anymore, he said.
The community painted the
walls, the community put in the
new floor. You need a community
to support individual growth.
The babies do whatever babies docry, eat, play, sleep, Harmony owner Kristin Evans said about the mom and
babies classes that are offered at her Campbell yoga studio.
Yoga, page 15
Hutchins practices transformational
yoga, which he calls addicting. It in-
cludes tribal dancing, Samba dancing
and once, even a fire dance at Plaza
Park. We teach people howto let go,
hesaid.
In addition to helping stressed-out
adults, Hutchins has discovered that
children with Down syndrome or au-
tism can benefit from yoga. For some
reason the vibe really appeals to them,
sowedoclasses for special needs kids.
Children who do not have special
needs have their own set of classes that
arescheduledat thedowntownLosGa-
tos studio.
Kids in Saratoga can take a yoga
class thats being offered for the first
time through the Saratoga Recreation
Departments summer camps program.
Yoga 4 Youth debuts in June and is
geared to children ages 9 to 12. Among
otherthings, it teachesposture, sunsalu-
tations andyogaetiquette.
Therecreationdepartmenthasplenty
of classes for adults, too, including a
weekday class calledLunchTime Yoga
thats taught by Elena Fisher. Shoul-
ders down, elbows up, Fisher tells her
students. Try to shrink yourself down.
Armsup, handsoverheart andthistime
you swan dive over. Inhale lightly and
exhale, twist.
One of the movements Fisher
teaches is called the pigeon. Its name is
derivedfromthe fact that pigeons seem
to always stand on one leg. In the yoga
pigeonpose, onelegisraisedperpendic-
ular, while the other leg is outstretched
onthefloor. Andpeopleget tousetheir
hands for support.
Fisher describes her class as a combi-
nation of three types of yogaBikram,
YinandVinyasa. All yogareallystems
from Vinyasa, she said. Vinyasa yoga
combines movement and breath and is
sometimes referredtoas flowyoga.
Its a fun mixture of balance and
stretch, Fisher said. What Im trying
tocreateisanicelittleescapewhere you
can catch up with yourself and find the
strength to make it through the rest of
theweek.Her class is offered on Mon-
days andWednesdays.
Student Soudabeh Allahyari, who
has been practicing yoga for two years,
was therelast week. I loveit, she said.
I feel likeIveworkedout. I really have
aproblemwithmyleft knee, and after a
fewmonths I felt verycomfortable.
With students lying comfortably on
their mats andrelaxing, Fisher wraps up
her class by lightly massaging a combi-
nation of arnica and lavender oils into
eachindividuals temple.
In addition to Lunch Time Yoga,
Saratogas rec department offers begin-
ningandintermediateclasses for adults.
It also has an agreement with the Yoga
StudioinCampbell that allows residents
to take aerial yoga classes. Its the latest
trendcall it yoga Cirque du Soleil
style.
The new Breathe Los Gatos studio
has a whole room dedicated to aerial,
or flight, yoga. Basically, students climb
into silken slings and assume different
poses.
Its pretty interesting, student Ali
Ghiasi saidat theendof his fourthflight
class. It feels very nice, especially when
youre inverted. Youre completely
floating. It brings astateof calmness.
Ghiasi figures hes taken about 1,000
yoga classes over the course of 10 years.
I doalot of different types of yoga. Its
agoodthingtotry,hesaid.
The flight class includes a movement
calledthescorpion,wherestudents hook
their legs aroundthe sling andhang up-
side down. At one point, students wrap
their bodies into the sling like a cocoon
inorder toachievefull relaxation.
Its not as simple as it looks. Even
instructor Paige Wyatt, swinging hands-
freewithonelegsupportedbytheswing,
admits, Its hard.
Breathealsohas ahot roomfor those
who are interested in sweating through
a yoga class known as Hot Tapas.
Plus, there are prenatal, mommy, teen
andfamilyclasses.
I wanted to create a diverse cur-
riculum, Breathes owner Jennifer
Prugh said. We have a wellness pro-
gramand a chair program for seniors
or for people who have just come out
of surgery. Alot of people who come
to us want to add something to their
life. They dont just want to bang out
a class.
Sonomatter what your physical con-
dition, there is something available for
everyone in the local communities. All
you need is a mat, a towel or blanket
andsomestretchy clothes to let shanti
comeyour way.

COMMUNITY
BRIEFS
By CASEY JAY
A
new craze is sweeping across
the nation, the world and even
into local schools. Thats right,
a flash mob has been sighted in the
community.
For anyone not familiar with the
term, a quick visit to YouTube will
yield several results. Basically, a flash
mob involves a large group of people
organizing a randomdance out inpub-
lic, or maybe a synchronized freeze
where hundreds of people suddenly
stoponthe spot inone location.
Flash mobs are meant to stun and
surprise people around them and they
havebeenorganizedat shoppingmalls,
college campuses and subway stations
throughout the country. The move-
ment gained popularity late in 2009
when thousands of people danced si-
multaneously to the Black Eyed Peas
onanepisode of The OprahShow.
Ali Molaei, aneighthgrader at Roll-
ing Hills Middle School in Los Gatos,
described the trend as a flood of awe-
someness.
Ali and more than 30 other Rolling
Hills students displayedtheir ownflash
mob on campus during lunchtime on
April 29.
I just like that it explodes and peo-
ple are bewildered and dont know
whats going on, said Ali, who did a
lot of the choreography for his groups
routine.
Melissa Rush, coordinator for the
Rolling Hills WEB group (it stands
for Where Everybody Belongs), said
after she sawthe huge performance on
Oprah, she had a feeling it would be
something her students wouldlike.
Itstartedwithagroupof12kidsand
then more people decided it looked
like fun, Rush said. Now weve got
between 30 and 40 kids involved. Its
hardtosay because onthe day we per-
formmore kids joinin.
Rushsaidshesimplyhelps guidethe
crew and that the students have really
done all the workthemselves.
They choreographedit andburned
all the CDs. I open up an empty class-
room two days a week and they come
inandpractice, she said.
Dance breaks out, and it happens in a flash

Rolling Hills kids part
of flash mob
Rolling Hills Middle School eighth-grader Ali Molaei, center, led 30 of his peers in a high-energy flash mob in
the middle of campus during lunch time on April 29. The Rolling Hills students were joined by 40 students from
neighboring Westmont High School, who displayed their own routine and promoted leadership at the high school as
well.
The students started out with a
number to Footloose, which they have
performed on campus four times. On
April 29, they debuted a new routine
toa mash-upof three different songs.
Rushsaidthe flashmobbing is more
than just dancing for the students in-
volved.
Its given some of the kids a place
to be, she said. Some of them dont
have a strong group of friends, and
theyve grown through doing this. I
have one boy who volunteered to be
the one who starts out by himself in
front of everybody.
Manyof theRollingHills flash mob-
bers will also have a chance to continue
to participate in their new activity
when they matriculate to Westmont
HighSchool, which Rush said about 90
percent of the students do.
Agroupof leadershipstudents from
the high school joined in the event on
April 29 to show off their own flash
mob and also to promote becom-
ing involved with the student body at
Westmont. More than 40 high school-
ers made their way over to Rolling
Hills andshowedoff their flashmobto
Chris Browns Yeah3 X.
Westmont junior Michaela Jose
helped to coordinate her schools rou-
tine and said it started out as a result
of someproblems with dirty dancing at
Westmont events.
Wewanted to emphasize that there
arewaystodanceandhavefunwithout
being inappropriate, Michaela said.
She added that sharing the experi-
ence at Rolling Hills was a great way
topublicize the highschool experience
at Westmont. As to whether her school
plans tounveil any flash mobs in the fu-
ture, Michaela replied true to the spirit
of the trend.
Whatever we do next will be a sur-
prise, she said.

Drinking black ale or stout in
pewter mugs was an Irish affection
which was done quite often.
However pewter mugs contained
large amounts of lead which caused
lead poisoning. Symptoms were a
catatonic state resembling death.
It is thought the Irish Wake resulted
from friends watching over the
corpse for a few hours or a few
days to see if they would eventually
recover or wake. Laughter, singing,
game playing and other sorts of
merriment along with copious
amounts of liquor and food were
consumed while waiting for the
awakening.

AndrewBartoncamethroughwith
a couple of killer performances last
week, and as a result the Westmont
boys volleyball team came through
with back-to-back wins over Pros-
pect and Valley Christian in a couple
of non-league matches last week.
The Warriors were to return to ac-
tion in the Blossom Valley Athletic
League where they could have nailed
downaMt. HamiltonDivisioncham-
pionship with a couple of wins, or at
least secure of share of the title.
Westmont entered the final week
of division play sharing first place
with Willow Glen, each team at 7-1.
Westmont is 24-7 overall this year.
The Warriors were to wrap up
league play with road matches
against OakGrove (1-7 in league, 11-
16 overall) and Gunderson (1-7, 12-
14). Willow Glen had a little tougher
road, playing fourth-place Leigh (3-
5, 10-11) and third-place Leland (5-4,
23-14).
The Warriors entered the impor-
tant week of matches coming off of
the non-league wins over Prospect
and Valley Christian last week.
Barton slammed down 17 kills to
lead the Warriors to a 25-14, 25-9,
25-13 win over Prospect to open the
week. Nate Moe chipped in with 10
kills, Luke Ferguson had nine and
Alan Madzar added eight.
Ferguson led Westmont with
four service aces and Brent Ng-Par-
ish had two. Barton had a couple of
blocks and Moe and Madzar had one
apiece.
John Davis and Boris Galonja
drilled six kills each to lead the Pros-
pect attack.
Barton was again the kill leader
in the 25-16, 23-25, 25-20, 25-20 win
over Valley Christian. Barton led the
Warriors with 18 kills, Moe had 12
and J.C. Mitchell added 11.
Bradley Peterson topped West-
mont with three service aces. Mitch-
ell had two and Calvin Stermer
added one.
Madzar was the leader in blocks
with five. Moe had four and Fergu-
son three.
Prospect, 5-3 and in the middle of
the pack in the Santa Teresa Divi-
sion of the BVAL, was to close out
the regular season with two matches
this week, at home on May 3 against
James Lick and at Sobrato on May
5.
Team captain Allan Isenberg
was to join seniors Keaton Avila,
Galonja and Mitchell Kwan in play-
ing their final match on the Prospect
floor when the Panthers played host
to the Comets.
Prospect is 6-12 overall this year.

Warriors battling for
league title
By KEVIN SPARRER
It was a comeback day for the
Del Mar girls softball team when
the Dons battled Santa Clara in a
non-league game last week.
The Dons came through with
two comebacks against the Bru-
ins in the April 25 game on their
home diamondunfortunately,
though, they needed three.
Del Mar ended up losing a 10-
8 heartbreaker in nine innings,
then dropped another non-league
decision three days later, falling
17-2 to Homestead.
The two losses dropped Del
Mars season record to 3-16 as the
Dons prepare to return to play in
the Santa Teresa Division of the
Blossom Valley Athletic League.
Del Mar takes a 2-8 record back
into league play this week. The
Dons were to face Sobrato and
Lincoln before wrapping up the
year next week at Santa Teresa
on May 10 and at home against
Evergreen Valley on May 12.
Both games begin at 3:30 p.m.
The young Dons will have only
four seniors playing their final
home game when they host Ev-
ergreen Valley next week. Co-
captains Randi Robinson and
Kahealani Acosta will join Kayla
Worley and Brionna Ramirez
as Del Mar seniors wrapping up
their softball careers in the May
12 game against the Cougars.
Whats encouraging for head
coach Jennifer Lee is that nine
of the 13 players on her Del Mar
roster will return in 2012.
Last week was a tough one for
the Dons, who dropped the two
non-league games. But in the
first one against Santa Clara, they
gave the Bruins all they could
handle for eight innings.
Two comebacks not enough for Del Mar softball team

By DICK SPARRER
Somehow it seems to hap-
pen every yearthe baseball
race in the Mt. Hamilton
Division of the Blossom Val-
ley Athletic League gets all
wound up in a package that
is anything but neat as the
evenly-matched teams head
into the final few games of
the season.
Its happened again this
year with no less than six of
the eight teams in the divi-
sion heading into the final
four games with nothing re-
ally determined.
The championship? Not
decided yet. It appears that
Willow Glen (14-3 in league,
18-5 overall) and Pioneer
(13-4, 17-5) wont decide that
until they play on the final
day of the regular season on
May 12, 4 p.m., at Pioneer.
Thirdplace? Not yet. Santa
Teresa (10-7, 12-9) has been
there most of the year, but
the Saints have Westmont
(8-9, 11-12) and Leland (7-9,
11-11) nibbling at their heels
as they enter the final few
games of league play.
And the all-important
top four that win automatic
berths in the Central Coast
Section playoffs? Throw
Branham (6-10, 9-12) into
the mix in that one as four
clubs are still locked up in
that fight.
The only thing for certain
in the Mt. Hamilton Division
dogfight is that, barring an
unlikely late spring shower,
it will all come to an end over
the next seven days. But what
a week that promises to be.
It was all set to begin on
May 5 with Leland heading
to Branham for a key game.
The other clubs all play 4
p.m. games on May 6: West-
mont at Sobrato (5-12, 7-16),
Pioneer at Live Oak (4-13,
7-15) and Willow Glen at
Santa Teresa.
Everything will be decided
next week when the clubs
wrap up league play: May
10Westmont at Live Oak,
Leland at Pioneer, Santa
Teresa at Sobrato and Bra-
nham at Willow Glen; May
11Leland at Branham; and
May 12Santa Teresa at
Westmont, Willow Glen at
Pioneer, Sobratoat Branham
and Live Oak at Leland.
The only thing for certain?
The games will all begin at 4
p.m.
Warriors slipping
Westmont has found it-
self slipping. After outslug-
ging Branham for a 19-12
win back on April 21, the
Warriors have lost four
straighttwo of the losses in
division play.
TheWarriorswereblanked
4-0 by Los Altos in a non-
league game, but dropped a
tough 4-3 nod to Sobrato in
league play. After another
one-run loss to Soquel, 2-1 in
a non-league game, the War-
riors were topped 11-8 by
first-place Willow Glen on
Monday.
Westmont was held to just
six hits in the 4-3 loss to So-
brato last week. Justin Edgar
and Lucas Erceg each singled
twiceanddroveinarunapiece
inthegame. AnthonyFrediani
doubled, Brett Solano singled
and Jonathan Collins added
an RBI. Frediani, Solano and
T.J. Conroy each scored runs
for Westmont.
Solano was the tough-luck
loser on the hill, despite al-
lowing only six hits over five
innings. He struck out three
and walked just two. Devin
Laucher finished up with an
inning of scoreless relief.
Westmont scored in the
top of the second to take
the lead, but Sobrato an-
swered with two in the bot-
tom of the inning. The War-
riors responded with two in
the third to lead 3-2, but the
Bulldogs tied it with a run in
the fourth, then scored the
run that would prove the
game winner in the fifth.
The Warriors were held to
six hits again in the 2-1 loss
to Soquel on April 29.
Conroy tripled and singled
and Frediani had two hits
in the game. Erceg ripped a
double and Edgar added a
single.
Matt Meyer scored the
only Westmont run of the
game, giving the Warriors
a 1-0 lead in the sixth. So-
quel scored two in the sev-
enth, though, and Westmont
couldnt answer in the bot-
tom of the frame.
Dons make a run
Over in the Santa Teresa
Division of the BVAL, Del
Mar is making a little bit
of a run with seven wins in
their last nine games and six
straight league wins since a
tight 2-1 loss to first-place
Leigh back on April 4.
Leigh tops the Santa Te-
resa pack at 14-2 (15-6-1
overall) with Oak Grove a
close second at 13-4 (16-5
overall). Del Mar remains
very much in the race at 11-
4-1 (15-6-1 overall).
Del Mar was to host Pied-
mont Hills (6-9-1, 7-9-1)
on May 4 and will finish up
league play at home against
Mt. Pleasant (10-6, 11-6) on
May 6, at Leigh on May 10
and at Silver Creek (2-15, 4-
19) on May 12.
The Dons put themselves
right in the race with a solid
5-2 win over Oak Grove on
May 2.
Tim Emory tossed a com-
plete game 3-hitter, striking
out five and walking just
one, to lead the Dons to the
win over the Eagles. He was
touched for just a couple of
runs in the fourth, but his Del
Mar teammates had already
staked him to a lead with a
five-run rally in the first.
Tyler Figueira and Bren-
dan Everton each knocked
in two runs in that rally and
Emory helped his own cause
by driving in one.
Brandon Hernandez led
a seven-hit Del Mar attack
with three singles. Figueira,
Emory, Zack Pollard and
Cullen McGagin also had
hits for the Dons. Emory also
swiped a bag in the win.
Hernandez, Everton, Kel-
vin Zepeda, McGagin and
Emory each touched the
plate for a run in that big
rally in the first.
Del Mar was coming off of
a big 14-1 win over Indepen-
dence. Hernandez and John
McCain slapped three hits
apiece to lead a 16-hit attack
for the Dons. Hernandez
singled, doubled and tripled
to drive in two runs.
Evertonhadabigdayat the
plate with two hits and a sac-
rifice fly to knock in four runs
and McGagin and Emory
each singled and doubled.
Dylan Dalton drove in
three runs with a double and
a sac fly.
Pollard tripled and
Figueira and Alex Pacheco
each singled.
Zepeda went six innings
on the hill to get the win,
allowing just two hits and
a walk while fanning eight.
Hernandez finished up with
an inning of scoreless relief.
Del Mar locked up with
Evergreen Valley (6-10, 6-
16) in a slugfest back on
April 25 before posting a 15-
8 win.
It was actually a strange
game. The Dons rallied for
five in the second to take
the early lead, then seemed
to put the game away with
10 runs in the fourth. Ever-
green, though, made a game
of it with an eight-run rally in
the seventh before the Dons
were able to close things out
for the victory.
Zepeda and McGagin
each doubled and singled
twice and drove in two runs
apiece to lead the Dons to
the victory.
Dalton, A.J. Garcia,
Figueira, Everton and Em-
ory had two hits each in the
game and Hernandez had
a double and two sac flies.
Emory and Nick Teixeira
each tripled.
Panthers win two
Prospect (2-14, 4-16) put
together back-to-back wins,
following upa 6-3 non-league
victory over Monta Vista on
April 28 with an 11-2 league
win over Piedmont Hills on
Monday.
The Panthers, after facing
Leigh on May 4, will visit
Evergreen Valley on May 6
before wrapping up the year
with home games against
Oak Grove on May 10 and
Mt. Pleasant on May 12. All
games begin at 4 p.m.
Seniors playing their final
home game when the Pan-
thers host the Cardinals on

Santa Clara appeared to
break the game open early
with a six-run rally in the
top of the second, but the
Dons answered with five
runs in the bottom half of
the frame to keep things
close.
The Bruins picked up
two more in the third and
took an 8-5 lead into the
bottom of the fifth. But Del
Mar battled back one more
time, scoring three runs in
the frame to tie it 8-8.
Thats how it remained
until the top of the ninth
when Santa Clara scored two
more. This time, though, the
Dons could answer back and
ended up losing the 10-8 de-
cision.
Worley and Emily Lan-
sing had three hits apiece to
lead the 13-hit attack for the
Dons. Worley had a double
among her three hits.
Robinson ripped two hits
for Del Mar and Acosta
doubled and drove home
two runs. Jennifer Roeder,
Nicole Ippolito and Jazmyne
Peterson added singles. Wor-
ley, Roeder, Robinson and
Lansing each drove in runs.
The offense wasnt quite
as productive three days
later against Homestead.
The Dons could manage on
five hits and a couple of runs
in the 17-2 loss to the Mus-
tangs.
Del Mar actually took a
2-1 lead into the third, but
thats when the Mustangs
unloaded. They scored six in
the third, four in the fourth
and six in the fifth to win the
game in five innings.
Worley, Amanda Teix-
eira, Robinson, Peterson and
Lansing each singled for the
Dons in the game and Lan-
sing and Roeder knocked in
runs.

times last week in non-
league games and came out
on top twice.
The Warriors defeated
Homestead 8-5 on April 30
with Melissa Ortiz ripping
three hits. Casey Morris
smacked a pair of hits and
drove in one, while Allie
Mohn belted two hits and
had a pair of RBIs. Rebeka
Brown also roped a single in
the win.
Lujane Mussadi topped
the rubber for the Warriors
and struck out seven in her
complete game.
The Warriors suffered a
1-0 loss to Archbishop Mitty
on April 28 with Mohn and
Morris knocking the only
hits for Westmont.
Westmont defeated Chris-
topher 5-1 on April 26 with
Christine Kuhny blasting
two doubles and driving in
two. Cassidy Brown knocked
two hits, Ortiz and Sarah Os-
sello each singled and drove
in runs and R. Brown, Mus-
sadi, Mohn and Araujo each
ripped a hit in the win.
Mussadi was again the
winning pitcher, allowing
only one hit and striking out
three in her seven innings.
Westmont, 18-4 overall,
was to return to league play
this week. The Warriors are
still chasing a Mt. Hamilton
Division championship as
they top the pack with a 9-1
league record.
Westmont was to face Mt.
Pleasant (6-4 in league, 12-9
overall) on May 3 and Bra-
nham (0-10, 6-13) on May 5.
After a non-league game on
May 7, 2 p.m., at Carlmont,
the Warriors will close out
the regular season at Live
Oak (5-4, 6-9) on May 10 and
at home against Pioneer (5-5,
10-6) on May 12 in a couple
of 3:30 p.m. games.
The Warriors enter the fi-
nal two weeks of league play
with a two-game lead over
both Leland (7-3, 16-7) and
Leigh (7-3, 15-7-1) with only
four games to play. Leigh
and Leland were to play each
other on May 5.

a non-league game on April
29 to move to 12-3 overall.

in the win. She also had three
RBIs and scored twice.

this week and will wrap up
the regular season at Ever-
