Grace Mah has fought to bring —Don Kazak F Chinese-language education to the local public schools. But because of tight budget constraints, she has met resistance every step of the way. New developments within the Palo Alto Unified School District, howev- er, could give new life to Mah’s plight. A parcel tax approved in June has giv- en the district room to breath. The two new board members who will take of- fice next month have both said they want the issue back on the table. Last but not least, the district recently took on a year-long review of its attendance boundaries, which could identify a feasible school to host the program. Mah, who has two sons ages 7 and 2, is planning to introduce a new pro- posal to the school board in January. Her goal is to have a Mandarin pilot program, modeled after the district’s successful Spanish Immersion pro- gram, in place by next fall. “The timing for presenting the op- tion is good,” said Barbara Mitchell, who, along with Dana Tom, will be- gin serving on the Board of Education in December.

Last Thursday, the Norbert von der GroebenNorbert crusty proprietor sold her last British pasties and pumpkin pies after 24 years in the busi- ness. “This is it,” she said to a customer last week. “I’m tired.

She de- murred when asked about retirement, saying that the word brought up images of sitting on a porch watching people go by. The B.J. Bull name will live on, however, with Zacanti’s son, Paul. He has plans to open a shop in the new year. Only thing is, it’ll be in Elko, Nevada.
DREKMEIER NOW IN SECOND . . . The Nov. 8 election may have been 22 days ago, but the votes — largely from absentee ballots — are still being counted. Results released Monday morning show first-time candidate and environmental activist Peter Drekmeier now in second place, with 11,158 votes. That means former mayor Larry Klein dropped down a step to third, with 11,046 votes. They both still follow Yoriko Kishimoto, who has 11,705 votes. Three new council members were elected — Drekmeier, Klein and John Barton (who now has 9,419 votes) — on Nov. 8 and will take their seats on Jan. 9, replacing outgoing council members Jim Burch, Vic Ojakian and Hillary Freeman. Kishimoto and Jack Mor- ton were re-elected. With 9,234 votes, Morton remains only 244 votes ahead of Planning and Transportation Commissioner Karen Holman, who had 8,990 votes at last count. The county Registrar Voters has 28 days after the election to count all the votes.
RENO AND EAST PALO ALTO . . . The East Palo Alto Police Department is trying a new method to attract new police officers: a slogan. The “biggest little police department in the nation” is the new motto for the department, reflecting that East Palo Alto has all the attributes of a big city — a lot of crime, a diverse population — and all the benefits of a small one, Police Chief Ron Davis said. East Palo Alto police “won’t disappear in a bureau- cracy with 1,000 officers,” he said.
A BIT LATE . . . Last week, mailboxes in Palo Alto received a tardy mes- sage from the city: a notification about the Architectural Review Board’s public hearing for a new mixed-use development at 260 Homer Avenue, supposedly on April 15, 2004. Actually, the long-planned project will be reviewed by the ARB this Thursday, Dec. 1, at 8 a.m. at City Hall.
STADIUM STRIPPERS . . . It was a tear-full goodbye to the Stanford Stadi- um Saturday — in more ways than one. The final football game of the sea- son, and last game ever in the 84-year-old stadium, was full of pomp and circumstance, with fireworks, dignitaries and football players from decades past in attendance. Then after the clock ran down for the final time and construction crews began tearing into the soil, so did the fans. Grabbing handfuls of turf, slivers of the benches, and anything else they could get their hands on, the Cardinal faithful took more than memories of on-the- field action with them. According to one bystander, a male fan carted off a sign, right from under the nose of a police officer. While speculation abounds as to when the pilfered parts will appear on eBay and how much they will command, a check early this week came up empty. ■

Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the 200 block of Manzanita Way around 11 a.m. after receiving a report of a child drowning. When they arrived, Woodside Fire Department personnel were al- ready at the home performing CPR on the unconscious child, ac- cording to a sheriff’s report. The boy was transported to Stanford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:21 p.m. The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office identified the boy as Zane Harris, who had just had his first birthday on Nov. 13. Sheriff’s officials said Zane and his family had traveled from Cor- nelius, Ore. to visit his great-grandmother in Woodside. An autopsy by the coroner’s office will determine the exact cause of death. —Bay City News Service Fatal car accident leads to arrest A driver who left the scene of a fatal solo-vehicle accident early Saturday morning in East Palo Alto is booked at the San Mateo County jail on multiple charges — including gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, East Palo Alto police reported. One passenger was killed at the scene and a second was hospital- ized with critical injuries.
