Two shot in Foster City

BAY CITY NEWS REPORT
Two men were shot during an altercation
outside an apartment complex in Foster City
late Friday night, police said.
The shooting was reported at about 11:50
p.m. in the 600 block of Catamaran Street.
Officers arrived to find two men, a 30-year-old
and 31-year-old, suffering from gunshot
wounds in the parking lot of the Beach Cove
Apartments.
The victims were taken to a local hospital
with injuries that are not believed to be life-
threatening.
Before the shooting, the two victims and
three females were launching small boats into
a nearby lagoon and were laughing when one
of the boats capsized, according to police.
Jesse Wilson, 39, came out of a nearby
apartment and yelled at the victims to be quiet.
The victims said they lived in the area, at which
time Wilson pointed a gun at the victims,
police said.
Both men struggled with Wilson, and
during the confrontation, each victim was shot
once.
One of the men was eventually able to wres-
tle the gun away from Wilson and ran into the
parking lot where officers had responded.
After the shooting, Wilson was determined
to be in an apartment at the complex. Officers
spoke to him on the phone and convinced him
to come out of the apartment and be taken into
custody.
Wilson suffered multiple facial injuries due
to the struggle with the victims. He was admit-
ted to a local hospital to be treated for his
injuries, according to police.
The shooting remains under investigation.

Burlingame’s Pacific City didn’t last
I
n 1921, a totally new concept in enter-
tainment was sweeping the Peninsula.
On the undeveloped land east of the
established city of Burlingame, 90 acres of
marshland, abutting Coyote Point, were to be
developed for the wildest entertainment cen-
ter on the West Coast.
First, it had to be made accessible for the
thousands of expected customers. Howard
Avenue was extended so automobiles from
the El Camino Real could get there. East of
the SP railroad station facilities were
improved and shuttle buses were planned that
could transfer 2,000 customers an hour from
the station and the #40 trolley line to the
amusement park. A 500-foot pier was built
out into the Bay to facilitate the thousands
expected to ride chartered ferry boats that
would leave San Francisco and Oakland.
The amusement park, now named Pacific
City, was the brainchild of David Stollery, a
Hillsborough Realtor and manager of the
Howard estate property that included this
marshland and Coyote Point. After much talk-
ing and persuasion, he raised the $100,000
from a group of San Francisco investors to
purchase the 90-acre site. It was now ready to

land and decide to settle on the Peninsula
once the beauty and favorable climate around
here were recognized.
In the spring of 1921, more than $500,000
had been spent on improvements to the
marshes and construction of a giant Ferris
wheel, scenic railway, a $60,000 dance pavil-
ion, several restaurants, game booths, dozens
of rides and concessions. A 3,200-foot board-
walk was constructed along the Bay overlook

Small steps to helping others
San Carlos 8-year-
old recognized for
volunteer work
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
At 8 years old, San Carlos resident JT Eden
already has a $1,000 scholarship for college.
Eden, who will enter third grade this fall,
isn’t planning his collegiate future, nor is he
hoarding money. In fact, he probably would
have been just fine without the recognition.
The money came with an award. Eden was
one of six young volunteers honored at Radio
City Music Hall for the first-ever Hasbro
Community Action Hero Awards for extraor-
dinary volunteer work.
Eden didn’t know much about the award to
start with and, even when he learned a bit
more, his response was subdued.
“It was pretty cool,” he said.
Eden, with the help of his mom Kat and his
younger brother, came up with the idea of
helping others. They invited other people over
to discuss ways they could help.
The group, called Planet Protectors, held a
bake sale to raise money for Haiti and made
care packages to send to Marines serving in
Afghanistan.
Jayne Tinney, Eden’s second grade teacher
at Heather Elementary School, took notice of
the work and nominated him for the Hasbro
Community Action Hero Awards.
“JT Eden is a quiet, understated boy with a
big heart,” she wrote. “He is the first child to
help another student in need or to lend his
teacher a helping hand. He is always kind,
considerate and thoughtful. JT seems to have
a sense of peace and calm around him and his
classmates and I are attracted to his gentle

interested in starting an organization to help
his community. JT and his fellow Planet
Protectors are excited to extend a helping
hand to others. It is JT’s enthusiastic approach
to helping others that is contagious.”
Tinney described her student as not seeking
attention, but rather preferring to go unnoticed
for his good deeds. That humble nature trans-
lated during the phone interview as Eden gave
short answers and was shy to embellish.
“I don’t think it is a coincidence that JT was

Grant’s uncle rejects letter of apology

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — The uncle of Oscar Grant,
the unarmed man fatally shot by Johannes
Mehserle, has harsh words to describe a let-
ter of apology written by the former transit
police officer.
Speaking outside Oakland’s True Vine
Baptist church Saturday night, Cephus
Johnson, rejected the letter released Friday
terming it a “ploy.”
Johnson said he and the Grant family did-
n’t believe the words in Mehserle’s hand-
written note, claiming that it was nothing
more than an attempt to gain sympathy from
the judge before sentencing.
“He can write the letter after he spends 14
years in prison,” Johnson said.
Grant’s mother, Wanda Johnson, was also
at the church Saturday, but declined to com-
ment.
A call to Mehserle’s attorney, Michael
Rains, seeking a response to Johnson’s com-
ments was not immediately returned.
Mehserle was convicted of involuntary
manslaughter by a Los Angeles jury
Thursday for the fatal shooting of Grant, 22,
on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train platform
on New Year’s Day 2009.
Prosecutors had pushed for a murder con-
viction. The conviction on a lesser charge
sparked a wave of protests in downtown
Oakland on Thursday night, resulting in
damage to about 30 businesses and the
arrests of dozens of people.
In a handwritten letter released Friday,
Mehserle suggested a possible prison term
wouldn’t be his only punishment for killing
Grant.
He said he will forever “live, breathe,
sleep and not sleep” with the memory of
Grant dying on the train platform and
“knowing that Mr. Grant should not have
been shot.”
Mehserle, 28, remains in custody pending
sentencing.
Involuntary manslaughter convictions call
for two to four years in prison, but Los
Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry
could tack on an additional three to 10 years
because a gun was used in the killing. Johannes Mehserle and Oscar Grant.

The 111 naked people in the pool

Organizers say besides the event

In order to be counted in the com-

Marine Lt. Andrew Abbott, 23,
took it all in as he peered out at the

that the lessons he learned recently

Afghanistan.
“People are the center of gravity
and if you do everything you can to
protect them, then they’ll protect
you,” he said. “That’s something
true here and pretty much every-

Abbott was among 70 Camp
Pendleton Marines in a training
exercise that aims to adapt the inves-
tigative techniques the LAPD has
used for decades against violent
street gangs to take on the Taliban
more as a powerful drug-trafficking
mob than an insurgency.
The Marines hope that learning to
work like a cop on a beat will help
them better track the Taliban, build
relationships with Afghans leery of
foreign troops and make them better
teachers as they try to professional-
ize an Afghan police force beset by
corruption.
The troops believe they can learn
valuable lessons from the LAPD,
which has made inroads into com-
munities after highly publicized
abuses, from the videotaped beating
of Rodney King to corruption in an
anti-gang unit.

BP claims progress on new cap

By Tom Breen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Oil was
spewing largely unchecked into the
Gulf of Mexico as BP crews claimed
progress Sunday in the first stages of
replacing a leaky cap with a new con-
tainment system they hope will final-
ly catch all the crude from the busted
well.
There’s no guarantee for such a
delicate operation nearly a mile
below the water’s surface, officials
said, and the permanent fix of plug-
ging the well from the bottom
remains slated for mid-August.
“It’s not just going to be, you put
the cap on, it’s done. It’s not like put-
ting a cap on a tube of toothpaste,”
Coast Guard spokesman Capt. James
McPherson said.
Robotic submarines removed the
cap Saturday that had been placed on
top of the leak in early June to catch
the oil and send it to surface ships for
collection or burning. BP aims to
have the new, tighter cap in place as
early as Monday and said that, as of
Sunday morning, the work was going
according to plan. BP hopes the cap-
ping operation will be done within
three to six days.
Kent Wells, a BP senior vice presi-
dent, said during a Sunday morning
news briefing he was pleased with the
progress but cautioned that unfore-
seen bumps could lie ahead.
“We’ve tried to work out as many
of the bugs as we can. The challenge
will come with something unexpect-
ed,” Wells said.
If tests show the new cap can with-
stand the pressure of the oil and is
working, the Gulf region could get its
most significant piece of good news
since the April 20 explosion on the
BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig,
which killed 11 workers. Since then,
between 88 million and 174 million
gallons of oil have spilled into the
Gulf, according to federal estimates.
It would be only a temporary solu-
tion. Hope for permanently plugging
the leak lies with two relief wells, the
first of which should be finished by
mid-August.
And the hurricane season that lasts
through November could interfere.
There are no storms forecast now, but
if one blows through, the ships col-
lecting the oil may have to leave and
crude would spew again for days into
the water.
The work was being closely moni-
tored at the White House, where
President Barack Obama is being
briefed multiple times a day, adviser
David Axelrod said on ABC’s “This
Week” on Sunday.
“We have every reason to believe
that this will work,” he said.
With the cap removed Saturday at
12:37 p.m. CDT, oil flowed freely
into the water, aside from a small
share still collected by a pipe running
to the Q4000 surface vessel, with a
capacity of about 378,000 gallons.
That vessel should be joined Sunday
by the Helix Producer, which has
more than double the Q4000’s capac-
ity.
But the lag could be long enough
for as much as 5 million gallons to
gush into already fouled waters.

Holder raises question on Sept. 11 death penalty
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder says
there’s a real question about whether a terrorist suspect such
as self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed can face the death penalty if he were to plead
guilty before a military commission.
Holder proposed last year trying Mohammed and four
alleged accomplices in civilian courts in New York City. But
that idea generated so much controversy that it’s all but been
abandoned.
He told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that it’s possible to
impose the death penalty in a civilian setting for someone
who pleads guilty. But he says there’s far less legal certainty
about that possibility in a military setting.
Since January, Holder has said that all options are on the
table about where to try Mohammed and the four other ter-
rorist suspects.
Leader of governors group focuses on college grads
BOSTON — The incoming head of the National
Governors Association said Sunday he will make increasing

chairmanship of the NGA on Sunday from Vermont Gov.
Jim Douglas, a Republican. Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman,
a Republican, replaced Manchin as vice chairman.
Tortoise shows up 4 years after disappearing
BRENTWOOD, N.H. — A New Hampshire couple says
a 25-pound pet tortoise has reappeared four years after
escaping from its pen.
Mike and Christine Wellington say their African spur thigh
tortoise named Lucy made off from their greenhouse busi-
ness in Brentwood. But on Friday, the Wellingtons received
a call from a neighbor half a mile up the road that Lucy had
reappeared.
The Wellingtons say they’re certain the tortoise is theirs
because of the unusual protruding bumps on its back.
Credit scores sink to new lows
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The credit scores of
millions more Americans are sinking to
new lows.
Figures provided by FICO Inc. show
that 25.5 percent of consumers — near-
ly 43.4 million people — now have a
credit score of 599 or below, marking
them as poor risks for lenders. It’s
unlikely they will be able to get credit
cards, auto loans or mortgages under the
tighter lending standards banks now use.
Because consumers relied so heavily
on debt to fuel their spending in recent
years, their restricted access to credit is
one reason for the slow economic
recovery.
Kennedy’s clout could grow on high court
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Justice Anthony
Kennedy, who already decides whether
liberals or conservatives win the
Supreme Court’s most closely contest-
ed cases, is about to take on an even
more influential behind-the-scenes role
with the retirement of Justice John Paul
Stevens.
By virtue of seniority, Kennedy will
inherit Stevens’ power to choose the
author of some court opinions, an

FICO’s latest analysis is based on con-
sumer credit reports as of April. Its find-
ings represent an increase of about 2.4
million people in the lowest credit score
categories in the past two years. Before
the Great Recession, scores on FICO’s
300-to-850 scale weren’t as volatile, said
Andrew Jennings, chief research officer

Attacks kill 11 Afghan police

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — Militant
attacks in once-calm northern
Afghanistan killed at least 11 police
officers and a government official
whose car was hit by a remote-con-
trolled bomb, officials said Sunday.
In the south, NATO said a U.S.
service member died Sunday fol-
lowing an insurgent attack and a
combined coaliton and Afghan
patrol killed a senior Taliban com-
mander and a dozen other insur-
gents who were discovered planting
a homemade bomb on a road.
Insurgents as well as coalition
forces have escalated attacks across
the country in recent months, as the
NATO-led force pours in 30,000
more U.S. troops in a new push to
break the Taliban’s hold in their
strongholds and establish stable
Afghan governance.
International and Afghan com-
mandos have been conducting near-
nightly raids to capture or kill insur-
gents, while the Taliban have
launched attacks on army bases and
local officials and planted thousands
of roadside bombs.
Insurgents in Kunduz province
overran a checkpoint near the north-
ern border with Tajikistan on
Saturday, killing at least six of the
nine border police stationed there,
provincial deputy police chief Abdul
Rahman Aqtash said.
Some reports said the guards were
poisoned before the attack to make it
easier for the insurgents, said
Mahbobullah Sayedi, a spokesman
for the provincial government. He
said three border police stationed at
the checkpoint were missing.
“It is possible that the militants
used one of the border police, some-
one who was working there,”
Sayedi said. “We don’t know any-
thing about the three others, where
they are. So that is why we are send-
ing a delegation to find out exactly
what happened.”
Aqtash left Sunday morning to go
to the site of the attack, but was forced
to turn back when another gunbattle
on the road to the border made it
unsafe to travel, he said by telephone.
Northern Afghanistan was once rel-
atively calm, but Taliban and other
militants have become increasingly
active in the past two years.
On Saturday in Kunduz, militants
killed the chief of Qala Zal district
and his body guard by remotely deto-
nating a bomb as he passed in his car,
the Ministry of Interior said.
Five other police died Saturday
when their vehicle hit a roadside
bomb in northeastern Badakshan
province, which is next to Kunduz,
the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier this month, Taliban suicide
attackers stormed a four-story house
used by an American aid organization
in Kunduz city in north Afghanistan,
killing four people before dying in a
fierce, five-hour gunbattle with
Afghan security forces. The pre-
dawn attack appeared part of a mili-
tant campaign against international
development organizations at a time
when the U.S. and its allies are trying
to accelerate civilian aid efforts to
turn back the Taliban.

‘Barefoot Bandit’nabbed after 2 years Palestinian leader: No point

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas — For two
years he stayed a step ahead of the
law — stealing cars, powerboats
and even airplanes, police say,
while building a reputation as a
21st-century folk hero. On Sunday,
Colton Harris-Moore’s celebrity
became his downfall.
Witnesses on the Bahamian
island of Eleuthera recognized the
19-year-old dubbed the “Barefoot
Bandit” and called police, who
captured him after a high-speed
boat chase, Bahamas Police
Commissioner Ellison Greenslade
said at a celebratory news confer-
ence in Nassau, the capital.
Greenslade said shots were fired
during the water chase but he did
not say who fired them.
He also said Harris-Moore was
carrying a handgun that he tried to
throw away.
Another sen-
ior police offi-
cial, however,
said police fired
to disable the
motor on the
suspect’s stolen
boat, and that
Colton Harris-Moore
Harris-Moore threw his gun in
the water. The
official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the case, also
said that police recovered a laptop
and a GPS locator from the suspect.
Police flew Harris-Moore in
shackles to Nassau. True to his
nickname, the teen with close-
shorn hair was shoeless as he
walked off the plane wearing
short camouflage cargo pants, a
white long-sleeved shirt and a bul-
letproof vest.
Harris-Moore is blamed for sev-
eral thefts in the Bahamas in the
week since allegedly crash-landing
a stolen plane there, and Bahamian
authorities said he will be prosecut-
ed for those crimes before the start
of any U.S. extradition proceed-
ings.
The 6-foot-5-inch Harris-Moore
had been on the run since escaping
from a Washington state halfway
house in 2008. He is accused of
breaking into dozens of homes and
committing burglaries across
Washington, as well as in British
Columbia and Idaho.
He is also suspected of stealing at
least five planes — including the
aircraft he allegedly lifted in
Indiana and flew more than 1,000
miles (1,600 kilometers) to the
Bahamas, despite a lack of formal
flight training.
in direct talks with Israel now
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The
Palestinian president, who is under
U.S. pressure to resume direct talks
with Israel, said that doing so under
current circumstances would be
pointless.
Mahmoud Abbas sounded deter-
mined not to return to the table
unless Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu commits to an interna-
tionally mandated settlement freeze
and agrees to pick up talks where
they left off under the Israeli
leader’s predecessor in December
2008.
However, it could become
increasingly difficult for him to stick
to his position as the Obama admin-
istration pushes harder to revive the
negotiations.
Netanyahu hasn’t agreed to either
demand, and has so far curbed but
not frozen settlement activity. He
insists negotiations should be held
without any preconditions.
Later this week, White House
envoy George Mitchell is to meet
with Abbas and is expected to lay
out some gestures Israel is prepared
to make to bring Abbas back to the
table, said an Abbas aide.
The Palestinians were not
informed about the nature of the
gestures, said the aide, who spoke
on condition of anonymity because
he is not authorized to brief
reporters on the issue.
Israeli defense officials said
Israel was considering expanding
the role of Palestinian security
forces in West Bank towns and
removing additional checkpoints
that hinder the movement of people
and goods.

Bahn, said.
Iran clerics to fight West
influence in classrooms
TEHRAN, Iran — The Iranian government
said it will send hundreds of clerics into
Tehran’s schools this fall to fight Western

The move is seen as an attempt by the gov-
ernment to tighten its grip on the schools in
the aftermath of last year’s disputed presiden-
tial elections in which many Iranian youth
flocked to the opposition.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Elections versus costs
I
n a recent Daily Journal guest
perspective, Virginia Chang
Kiraly, chairwoman of the
2008- 2009 San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury, suggested that
Supervisor Mark Church step down
from his board seat this month.
Why? So a replacement could be
chosen in November rather than at
a costly special election next year.
Church was recently elected to
replace Warren Slocum as the new
assessor/election chief. Church
announced last week that he will
not leave the board until Jan. 3
when Slocum officially retires. It is
estimated the cost of a special elec-
tion is $1.6 million. The county is
now suffering a $150 million struc-
tural deficit.
Two years ago, the Board of
Supervisors decided to appoint
rather than hold a special election
because the cost, again $1.6 mil-
lion, was too expensive. Carole
Groom was appointed to fill Jerry
Hill’s seat when he left for the state
Assembly. The board received flack
for this decision, especially from
the 2008-09 grand jury. As a result,
the issue of appointment versus
election to fill a vacancy was a
major issue before the County
Charter Review Committee.
In Church’s case, there is no way
the Board of Supervisors will
appoint a replacement. They are
less worried about the cost this
time around. More worried about
the reaction. The Charter Review
Committee recommended a new
process for filling vacancies. If this
process is approved — the Board
Chemical time warp?
I
n 1962, in her book, “Silent
Spring,” Rachel Carson
wrote, “For the first time in
the history of the world, every
human being is now subjected to
contact with dangerous chemicals,
from the moment of conception
until death.”
In 2000, the June 19 issue of
“U.S. News and World Report”,
featured an article, “Kids at Risk.”
It warned us that “Chemicals in
the environment come under
scrutiny as the number of child-
hood learning problems soars. One
in every six children in America
suffers from problems such as
autism, aggression, dyslexia, and
attention deficit hyperactivity dis-
order.” Now, in 2010, the “Journal
of Pediatrics” has concluded that
an association exists between
exposure to pesticides and
increased risk of ADHD in chil-
dren.
Between 2000 and 2008, gov-
ernment was eerily silent on the
subject. A “Chronicle” editorial
described that time as “… two
terms of a Republican White
House that hired industry insiders,
dodged environmental and con-
sumer safety problems, and fer-
vently believed that self-regulation
would protect the public. It was a
boon for business, but it cost the
public dearly.”
In her recent book, “The Body
Toxic,” Nena Baker warns us; “In
the United States, our chemical
neighborhood includes more than
80,000 industrial substances regis-
tered for commercial purposes
with the EPA. About ten thousand
of these chemicals are widely used
in everything from clothes, carpet-
ing, household cleaners, and com-
puters to food, food containers,
paint, cookware and cosmetics.
But the vast majority of them have
not been tested for potential side

of Supervisors put it on the ballot
and voters agree — then there is no
choice but to appoint because
Church has only one year left in his
term and under those conditions an
election is required. Meanwhile,
moving up the election to
November to avoid a costly special
election in 2011 would leave little
time for candidates to campaign.
To date, the announced candidates
are Dave Pine (San Mateo Union
High School District trustee); Gina
Papan (Millbrae councilwoman and
former mayor); and Richard
Holober (San Mateo County
Community College trustee). Terry
Nagel, Burlingame councilwoman
and former mayor, has yet to
decide. For Nagel, Papan and
Holober, the shorter period might
be a problem. Pine announced
early on and has been raising
money and obtaining endorsements
so a November election might have
been to his advantage.

Another complication is whether
the new boardmember will be
elected county-wide or by district.
The 2008-09 civil grand jury rec-
ommended that supervisors be
elected by district. The Charter
Review Committee evaluated the
civil grand jury’s report and recom-
mended that the issue be put before

effects because the U.S. Toxic
Substance Control act of 1976
does not require it!” The EPA has
required testing of only 200 and
restricted just five.
As we can see by the above and
following reports, it seems we are
now being informed about the
problem more regularly. The May
24 issue of “Time” magazine
included an article titled, “Cancer,
Cancer, Everywhere.” It is based
on a report by The President’s
Cancer Panel” — “On the risk of
cancer from chemicals and other
substances in the environment.”
On May 17, the “Chronicle” fea-
tured an article, “Water supply
tainted by nitrates.” On June 2, we
heard on a television news report
that arsenic, cadmium, lead and
mercury have been found in pro-
tein drinks.
U.S. chemical and manufactur-
ing industries continue to fight
regulation, while Europe moves
ahead with strict prohibitions
against the most harmful toxins.
Seems the European Union
believes regulation is good for
business because it inspires con-
sumer confidence and saves
money in the long run. Consider
phthalates, the chemicals (along
with BPA) that have for been used
in babies’ and children’s products
for years. In his book, “Exposed,”
Mark Shapiro explains the differ-
ence between the U.S. and

fan of district elections, will proba-
bly feel pressure from a possible
legal challenge from the Bay Area
Lawyers Committee for Civil
Rights to put the measure on the
November ballot. If voters approve,
Church’s replacement could be
chosen by district. And a district
election would be much cheaper.
On the other hand, if voters say
they prefer the current system, it
will be a county-wide battle. In this
case, big money and big endorse-
ments will play a major role. None
of the presumed candidates are
exactly favorites of the San Mateo
County political establishment so it
could be an interesting race. Would
Pine and Nagel split Burlingame?
Would Papan and Holober split
Millbrae? And if the powers that be
don’t like the announced field,
could Marc Hershman enter the
fray? Hershman runs Assemblyman
Jerry Hill’s district office, is former
mayor and councilman from
Millbrae, was on the SamTrans
board and would probably have the
support of the county’s political
elite. But to date, he has not
expressed interest while others
have been raising money and
endorsements.

Isn’t there a way to hold elec-
chemicals. “Facing potential dam-
age to male infants, the European
Union determined that action was
warranted. Awaiting further defini-
tive confirmation of the links
between phthalate exposure and
endocrine troubles in infants years
later, the United States govern-
ment has opted not to act.”
Rich Smith and Bruce Levine,
authors of “Slow Death by Rubber
Ducky,” describe what we face
today. “… Regardless of age, eth-
nicity, place of work or residence,
everyone is contaminated. Even
the most clean living among us is
polluted. And even the youngest
are vulnerable. Unborn babies
were found to have hundreds of
chemicals in their little bodies,
clearly indicating that toxins are
passed on to children not only
through breast milk during nurs-
ing, but also through the placenta
during pregnancy.”
“The manmade compounds that
end up in the soil, water and air do
not disappear; they mix with com-
plex ecosystems of nature that ani-
mals depend on. We have made a
panoply of discoveries about the
havoc man-made chemicals, from
pesticides to Prozac, create in the
natural systems they invade. Even
tiny doses of certain chemicals
can have side effects no one ever
anticipated. Our better living
through chemistry can become
nature’s nightmare.” — Daniel

Business brief
Gas prices drop nearly 4 cents in 2 weeks
CAMARILLO — The average price of regular gasoline
in the United States has dropped 3.88 cents over a two-
week period to $2.73.
That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel
prices released Sunday.
Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gal-
lon of mid-grade was $2.87. Premium was at $2.98.
Jackson, Miss., had the lowest average price among
cities surveyed at $2.43 a gallon for regular. San Francisco
was highest at $3.16.
BP ponders $12B asset sale
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — BP PLC declined to
comment Sunday on a report that it is in
talks about possibly selling 8 billion
pounds ($12 billion) worth of assets,
including a stake in Alaska’s Prudhoe
Bay oil field, to U.S. oil company
Apache Corp.
London’s Sunday Times said Houston-
based Apache was discussing the possi-
bility of acquiring BP assets. The news-
paper did not cite a source for its report.
BP spokesman Robert Wine and Apache
spokesman Bob Dye both said their com-
panies would not comment on “specula-
tion.”
Natalie Loman, an Alaska-based
spokeswoman for ConocoPhillips, which
owns about 36 percent of the Prudhoe
Bay field, also declined to comment on
the “market rumors.” BP owns 26 per-
cent of the field and ExxonMobil Corp.
holds a stake of about 36 percent.
Apache’s exploration and production
interests include the Gulf of Mexico,
Western sedimentary basin of Canada,
Egypt, western Australia, the North Sea
and South America.
The Sunday Times separately said that
ExxonMobil is considering a bid for BP.
Citing oil industry sources, the paper said
ExxonMobil had approached the Obama
administration for clearance to make a
takeover offer.
ExxonMobil, based in Irving, Texas,
couldn’t immediately be reached for
comment. “We don’t speculate on market
rumors, and I have no comment about
that,” BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said
from Houston on Sunday.
BP has said it plans to raise $10 billion
this year selling assets, but analysts said
is likely simply speeding up an ongoing
program.
The company, which also isn’t paying
a dividend this year, agreed last month to
set aside some assets as security while it
builds up a $20 billion compensation
fund to guarantee that the oil company
pays for all the damage from the massive
Gulf Coast oil spill. BP says it has
already spent more than $3 billion deal-
ing with the spill.
Oil is spewing largely unchecked into
the Gulf of Mexico as BP crews work to
replace a leaky cap with a new contain-
ment system they hope will finally catch
all the crude from the busted well. BP
aims to have the new, tighter cap in place
as early as Monday, and complete the
capping operation within three to six
days.
Hope for permanently plugging the
leak lies with two relief wells, the first of
which should be finished by mid-August.
According to federal estimates,
between 88 million and 174 million gal-
lons of oil have spilled into the Gulf
since the April 20 explosion on the BP-
leased Deepwater Horizon rig, which
killed 11 workers.

China renews Google’s operating license

By Tini Tran
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — China confirmed Sunday it
has renewed Google’s license to operate
in the world’s most populous country,
ending a monthslong standoff over
Internet censorship.
An official with the Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology, which regu-
lates Internet operations in China, said the
government had approved the license for
Beijing Guxiang Information Technology
Co. Ltd., the operator of Google’s China
website, according to the official Xinhua
News Agency.
Officials at Google’s U.S.-based head-
quarters announced Friday that the com-
pany had received approval for another
year.
China’s decision to allow Google to
continue operations has resolved a month-
slong dispute that had threatened the com-
pany’s future in the country.
The conflict arose in January when
Google decided to end its four-year prac-
tice of omitting search results that the
Chinese government considers subversive
or pornographic. Google made the deci-
sion after blaming Chinese computer
hackers for an attack it said was aimed at
stealing the company’s technology and e-
mail information from human rights
activists.
The ministry official, who was not iden-
tified, said Guxiang had agreed to “abide
by Chinese law” and “ensure the compa-
ny provides no lawbreaking content,”
Xinhua said.
The government website listed Guxiang
among some 200 companies whose
licenses had been renewed until 2012.
“After our assessment, we decided that
Guxiang had basically met the require-
ments,” the official was quoted as saying.
Guxiang also agreed that all content it
provides is subject to the supervision of
government regulators, the official said.
The Chinese government operates the
world’s most extensive system of Web
monitoring and filtering, blocking porno-
graphic sites as well as those seen as sub-
versive to Communist rule.
Google won permission after bowing to
pressure to eliminate an automatic detour
around the country’s online censorship
requirements.
Since March, Google had been auto-
matically rerouting search requests from
the mainland to its Hong Kong service.
But search requests at Google.cn from
within mainland China now require an
extra click that then takes the user to the
Hong Kong site, which isn’t subject to
Beijing’s censorship rules.
That small concession was enough to
persuade China’s regulators to renew the
license, the company said.
China is not yet a big moneymaker for
Google, accounting for an estimated $250
million to $600 million of the company’s
projected $28 billion in revenue this year.
But the number of Internet users in China
is estimated at 384 million, more than the
nearly 200 million in the United States.

Judge OKs
iPhone class
action against
Apple, AT&T
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE — A federal judge says a monopoly abuse law-

suit against Apple Inc. and AT&T Inc.’s mobile phone unit can
move forward as a class action.
The lawsuit consolidates several filed by iPhone buyers start-
ing in late 2007, a few months after the first generation of
Apple’s smart phone went on sale.
An amended complaint filed in June 2008 takes issue with
Apple’s practice of “locking” iPhones so they can only be used
on AT&T’s network, and its absolute control over what appli-
cations iPhone owners can and cannot install on the gadgets.
The lawsuit also says Apple secretly made AT&T its exclusive
iPhone partner in the U.S. for five years. Consumers agreed to
two-year contracts with the Dallas-based wireless carrier when
they purchased their phones, but were in effect locked into a
five-year relationship with AT&T, the lawsuit argued. The
actions hurt competition and drove up prices for consumers, the
lawsuit claims. Apple and AT&T have not commented on the
terms of their deal. In its response to the complaint, Cupertino,
California-based Apple said it did not hurt competition.
In court documents filed July 8, Judge James Ware of the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said
parts of the lawsuit that deal with violations to antitrust law can
continue as a class action. The class includes anyone who
bought an iPhone with a two-year AT&T agreement since the
device first went on sale in June 2007.

As the clock ticked toward penal-

MADRID — A roaring celebra-

The country’s flag and team col-

brations were easily the biggest in
the country in living memory.
A roar rose from Madrid, and
almost certainly across the nation,
when goalkeeper Iker Casillas lifted
the cup in South Africa. Spain, long
tagged a perennial underachiever,
had never before gone to the World
go down as one of the most dramat-
ic in its proud and storied Little
League tradition. Delegans was
merely looking to extend the inning
before hitting a towering drive over
the fence in right field to send the
team into a frenzy.
“I was just try to get a base hit,”
said Delegans, who finished 4 for 4
with seven RBIs. “(The grand slam)
was the best feeling ever. No matter
what happens (the rest of my
career), this is going to be one of the
Cup final.
In the Netherlands, the mood was
funereal. Fans wept and hugged in
The Hague at the final whistle and
tossed of handfuls of orange confet-
ti into the air that had been intended
for a victory party.
“It’s such a deception. We were
so close. I feel empty, said Sander
Lubbers, a 33-year-old shopworker.
“It’s a great shame, but Spain was
the better team.” said Arend-jan
Meijer.

he headed for home kicking his way
through piles of plastic beer cups.
In Madrid, the beer tasted better.

Judging by their reaction on
Delegans’ walk-off hit, the rest of

sailed over the fence, Hillsborough

“The first few months of this sea-

Ishikawa said. “I just tried to stay
mentally focused on what the job
was at hand: I was going to come off
the bench to hit or play defense. Just
getting the opportunity on this road

On the road trip, Ishikawa was 11

Maarten Stekelenburg with about
seven minutes left to play, includ-

“When I struck it, it just had to go

For the Dutch and their legions of
orange-clad fans wearing every-
thing from jerseys to jumpsuits to
clown gear to pajamas, it was yet
another disappointment.
Even with their first World Cup
title tantalizingly within reach, they
failed in the final for the third time.
This one might have been the most
bitter because, unlike 1974 and
1978, the Netherlands was unbeat-
en not only in this tournament, but
in qualifying for the first World Cup
staged in South Africa.

In Mexico City, about 2,500 revel-
ers converged at the Plaza de
Cibeles in the trendy Roma Norte
district. They banged drums, blew
vuvuzelas and marched around the
fountain there — an exact copy of
the monument with the same name
in Madrid — chanting and singing.
Back in Madrid, one banner amid
the masses read “Octopus Paul,
Forever!” and featured a crudely
drawn picture of the octopus from
Germany who became a pop culture
sensation by correctly picking
World Cup matches. He was right
again about the final.
Police helicopters hovered over
Madrid into the early hours of
Monday and riot police protected
major monuments.
Fans watching from a patio bar in
a working-class neighborhood
whooped in joy, yelling “Spain!
Spain!”
Spain had pockets of supporters,
too, with fans dressed in red and
scattered throughout the stadium.
Among those cheering were Queen
Sofia, Rafael Nadal and Pau Gasol.
Spain’s fans might have been in
the minority, but when the final
whistle blew, they were tooting
their vuvuzelas with a vengeance in
tribute to their champions.
A second straight World Cup
final headed into extra time, with
the goalkeepers unbeatable.
Stekelenburg, relatively inexperi-
enced on the international level,
made a spectacular left leg save
when Fabregas broke free early in
overtime.
The goal in the 116th minute
came off a turnover by the Dutch
defense that Fabregas controlled
just outside the penalty area. Iniesta
stayed on the right and sneaked in
to grab the pass and put his shot to
the far post. Stekelenburg barely
brushed it with his fingertips as it
soared into the net.
And with that, Iniesta tore off his
jersey and raced to the corner
where he was mobbed by his team-
mates.
Several Dutch players wiped
away tears as they received their
runners-up medals — yet again.

match and all six previous games in

held that dubious record with 24.
Netherlands coach Bert van
Marwijk took off his silver medal
as soon as he left the podium, a
look of disgust on his face.
The winners struggled but man-
aged to lift their coach, Vicente del
Bosque, in the air in celebration.
“This is immeasurable for
Spain,” he said.
Then they made a quick costume
change from their sweat-soaked
blue jerseys into their traditional
red ones.
Iker Casillas, the captain, accept-
ed the trophy from FIFA president
Sepp Blatter, who was bundled in a
scarf since temperatures dipped
into the 40s on this chilly winter’s
night in the Southern Hemisphere.
Casillas, voted the World Cup’s
top goalkeeper, kissed the distinc-
tive gold award and raised it for all
to see while cameras flashed and
confetti flew throughout the still-
full stadium.
“This really is quite a cup,”
Casillas said. “The European
Championship was the most impor-
tant moment of our lives, but today
is much bigger than anything else.”
Soon, the entire team and staff
gathered at midfield for a group
photo. The players bounced up and
down to the World Cup theme song,
then took a victory lap as the trophy
was passed to each member of the
squad.
“It’s the most beautiful that there
is. It’s spectacular,” Iniesta said.
Aside from a European title in
1988, the Dutch have been classic
underachievers on the pitch.
Yet the Spaniards haven’t been
much better. Other than Euro cham-
pionships in 1964 and 2008, they
rarely have contended in major
tournaments. At least
Netherlands made those two World
Cup finals and advanced to the
semifinals in 1998.
Spain joined West Germany and
France as the only nations to simul-
taneously hold the world and
European titles. West Germany fol-
lowed the European title with the
1974 World Cup and France won
the 1998 Cup before winning the
Euros two years later.
The Spaniards also won the
championship with the fewest
goals, eight.
Second-ranked Spain started this
World Cup in the worst way, losing
to Switzerland. But Spain won
every game after that, including a
1-0 victory over powerful Germany
that was far more one-sided than
the score indicated. No other nation
has won the World Cup after losing
its opener.
“They made it very difficult for
us to play comfortably,” Del
Bosque said. “It was a very intense
match.”

potent Villa an open shot.
As play opened up, the crowd of
84,490 got quieter in nervous antic-
ipation of the goal that would win
the World Cup.
Robben again looked as though
he might get it with a burst of speed
past the defense, but Casillas
sprinted from his net and smothered
the ball before Robben could take a
shot.
“You felt that the team that would
score first would win,” Van
Marwijk said. “We had two great
chances through Arjen. We made a
real game out of it.”
Before the game, former South
African president Nelson Mandela
received a huge ovation when he
was driven onto the field on a golf
cart. A smiling Mandela waved to
the fans as the vuvuzelas buzzed
throughout Soccer City.
And after the game, Iniesta took
time to salute Paul the Octopus,
who correctly picked the winner of
eight matches.
“As for the octopus, what can I
say?” Iniesta said, smiling. “We
won and I’m sure the octopus will
be more popular in Spain.”

Creamer wins US Women’s Open
By Alan Robinson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKMONT, Pa. — Paula
Creamer wondered a few months
ago if she would ever play golf again
the way her badly injured left thumb
was hurting.
What she couldn’t have possibly
guessed is she would play like this.
Creamer shed the title of being the
best women’s golfer to not win a
major, never wavering during a four-
shot victory Sunday at the U.S.
Women’s Open in which she steadi-
ly put away a field that couldn’t
match her confidence or consistency.
Creamer started with a three-
stroke lead, then never let it go below
two shots during a 2-under 69 that
gave her a 3-under 281 for the tour-
nament. Na Yeon Choi of South
Korea shot a 5-under 66 at a soft-
ened-up Oakmont Country Club to
tie Suzann Pettersen of Norway for
second place at 1-over 285.
“That question always lurked:
‘How come you never won a
major?”’ said Creamer, whose thumb
remained heavily bandaged during
her post-tournament news confer-
ence. “Now we never have to get
asked that question again. It’s kind of
a big relief off my shoulders.”
Most of all, a big relief off a hyper-
extended left thumb she estimates is
SPORTS
only 60 percent healed.
Limited to 40 practice shots before
each round to lessen the pounding on
a thumb that was surgically repaired
in March, Creamer found the best
possible way to limit the discomfort:
take as few strokes as possible.
The 23-year-old Creamer, known
as the Pink Panther for her all-pink
attire, faded badly in the late rounds
of the last two Women’s Opens, and
she missed the cut at last week’s
Jamie Farr Classic won by Choi.
But she was as strong at Oakmont
as her thumb is weak, with earlier
rounds of 72, 70 and 70.
She had to be; after all, she pun-
ished that thumb by playing 52
holes during the final two days, 23
on Sunday, because of Friday’s
heavy rain that slowed down some
of the fastest, trickiest greens in
golf and created better scores.
“I was in pain, but I was trying to
do everything to not think about it,”
Creamer said. “It shows you how
much the mental side of golf can
really take over.”
With Creamer’s lead briefly
down to two strokes, her two
biggest confidence-building shots
of the day might have been long,
par-saving putts on No. 7 and 8 —

and finished 13th.
Creamer, from Pleasanton,
Calif., had four birdies and two
bogeys, all but wrapping it up by
hitting to within 10 feet out of the
thick rough on the par-4 14th and
dropping the putt for birdie. Only
she didn’t know for sure; she never
looked at a leaderboard until the
18th.
She hit another exceptional mid-
iron to 4 feet on the 442-yard 15th
and made that, too.
Right about then, she sensed a
major was finally hers. Two weeks
after Cristie Kerr won the LPGA
Championship by 12 shots with
domination, Creamer won with
determination.
“Without a doubt, I’ve matured
over the last couple of months,”
said Creamer, so bored during her
layoff she attended the Masters as a
spectator. “It was hard. I’ve pre-
pared for this for the last three
months and it makes everything so
much better. ... It (the adversity)
made me more of an adult.”
Creamer played only her fourth
tournament since that operation
required mechanical changes in her
game because her right side is much
stronger than her left. Forced to play
29 holes Saturday, she feared
unwrapping her throbbing thumb
because “it might explode.”

The future of testing for human

Riggleman said
Still, Washington’s 39-50 record is
considerably better than the 26-61
mark the Nationals sported at last
year’s All-Star break.
“There’s some progress. ... We
want to get to the point where we’re
not satisfied with progress,”
Riggleman said. “We want to make
the next step.”
Washington’s Livan Hernandez
(6-5) struggled through five innings,
yielding five runs and five hits. He
walked two and struck out four.
“I don’t feel too good,” Hernandez
said. “My body don’t respond per-
fect. It’s no excuse. ... I tried to keep
the ball down and it didn’t happen. A

Brian Wilson got the final four
outs for his 23rd save in 25 tries.
The Giants took a 2-0 lead in the

bases on an infield single by Aaron
Rowand and one-out walks to
Aubrey Huff and Posey before
Ishikawa knocked a two-run single
to right.
In the third, Posey tripled home
two runs, then scored on Ishikawa’s

wall. Ishikawa then flied out to cen-

capped a wild 15-14 win to force Sunday’s winner-take-
all contest.
Hillsborough needed to beat Half Moon Bay twice
after it dropped a 10-9 decision to Half Moon Bay in the
winner’s bracket semifinal last Thursday. Hillsborough
came back Friday and defeated Menlo-Atherton before
summoning up a serious power surge over the weekend.
In the two wins over HMB, Hillsborough hit eight home
runs, including five on Saturday.
For the tournament, Hillsborough scored a whopping
82 runs in seven games, including 14 homers from
eight different players.
“It’s great because we can truly say this was a team
effort,” Waldsmith said. “It’s funny, before the fourth
inning I told the kids it would take seven runs (to invoke
the mercy rule and end the game). I knew they could do
it, but you just don’t think it’s going to happen.”
Hillsborough led 4-1 entering the bottom of the
fourth, having scored in every inning. But what looked
to be a competitive game soon turned into a runaway.
Hillsborough recorded six of its 14 hits in the decisive
fourth, highlighted by a two-run homer from Joe Klein,
a two-run single from Krook and Delegans’ grand slam
to cap an uprising that saw Hillsborough send 12 batters
to the plate.
Hillsborough certainly picked a good time to dial up
the power. In addition to Delegans’ two homers — the
first two of his Little League career, Waldsmith said —
Jacob Tan, who came within a foot of hitting a home
run Sunday, went deep for the first time ever in
Saturday’s game. And Krook’s walk-off blast Saturday
represented his first home run of the All-Star season.
Waldsmith said it’s no coincidence Hillsborough
scored runs at a prodigious rate this tournament. Having
coached Hillsborough’s 9-10 and 10-11-year-olds pre-
viously, Waldsmith knew after last year’s runner-up fin-
ish in the 10-11 age group, the players would need to
improve offensively as they moved up in age. Well, they
certainly did that and then some.
“After last year’s loss (in the 10-11 title game), we
met and decided to make a concerted effort on our hit-
ting,” Waldsmith said. “We were at a fork in the road
and knew hitting was going to win (at the 11-12 age
group). So the kids worked extra hard in the (batting)
cage and it paid off.”
Lost in Hillsborough’s offensive pyrotechnics was the
pitching of Marcus, who made just one costly mistake
when he left a pitch over the plate that HMB clean-up
hitter Antonio Lopez blasted for a home run in the
fourth. Other than that, Marcus was solid. His perform-
ance was all the more remarkable considering it came
against a potent HMB lineup that ripped off 20 hits —
yes, 20 — in Saturday’s game.
Sunday, however, was a different story. Marcus, who
THE DAILY JOURNAL
plays catcher when he’s not pitching, changed speeds
effectively and was able to consistently work out of
jams — he walked three over the four innings. Marcus
was also a big reason why Hillsborough was able to
force Sunday’s decisive game. Saturday, he had two of
Hillsborough’s five home runs to go along with five
RBIs to help offset HMB’s 20-7 hit advantage.
“Blake is probably the best catcher in the district,”
Waldsmith said. “He’s not bad on the mound, either.
This late in the tournament everyone is thin on pitching,
and we needed him to step up big time and he did that.”
Although Hillsborough would not be denied, HMB
showed a champion’s heart, too. It trailed 14-8 entering
the top of the sixth in Saturday’s game before erupting
for six runs — Devon Canty, Lopez and Tomas Nuno
hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the inning — to
level things at 14 before Krook’s game-winning round-
tripper in the bottom half.
It was an incredible comeback effort for HMB, which
simply didn’t have enough pitching left to contain the
white-hot Hillsborough bats.
“The 14-1 score doesn’t do Half Moon Bay justice,”
Waldsmith said. “That’s a great team over there and we
had all we could handle against them. We’re fortunate
we didn’t have one star, we had 13 superstars. Everyone
had a hand in this.”
Indeed, Hillsborough received contributions from its
entire roster. Timmy Lynch homered Saturday, Alex
Waldsmith consistently got on base and Adam Janscek,
Shane Snow, Spencer Sinclair, Calean Lietz, Nick Pratt
and Jon Hall all had either strong showings at the plate
or in the field.

Armstrong’s Tour hopes ‘finished’

By Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORZINE, France — Close the
book on the Lance Armstrong era at
the Tour de France. He has.
The record seven-time champion
wrote off his chances of victory in
his 13th and last Tour, signaling the
beginning of the end of one of the
most celebrated and controversial
careers in cycling history.
The 38-year-old Texan’s hopes
for yet another title were dashed
Sunday after he got caught in three
crashes — one of which brought
him down — and struggled to keep
up during two tough climbs in Stage
8, the race’s first foray into the Alps.
He and his team said his hip got
banged up, keeping him from pedal-
ing hard.
The stage was won by 25-year-
old Andy Schleck of Luxembourg,
and Armstrong finished nearly 12
minutes back, in 61st place.
World champion Cadel Evans of
Australia took the yellow jersey by
finishing 10 seconds behind
Schleck, but well ahead of
overnight leader Sylvain Chavanel
of France.
“My Tour is finished,” said
Armstrong, who fell to 39th overall.
“This is the first time it’s not hap-
pened like that.”
Those years of domination were
also marked by years of suspicion
about doping — which he’s denied
— including recent allegations by
former teammate Floyd Landis.
Despite Armstrong’s strong
showing in races in Luxembourg
and Switzerland this spring for his
new RadioShack team, there were
questions going into the Tour about
his fitness after a crash and because
his training was disrupted by a
stomach bug.
“You can rationally say it’s the
end of an epoch, the third version,
after the episode of his return from
cancer, and his domination,”
REUTERS Prudhomme said. “The third act has

the second year of his comeback tor Christian Prudhomme said. He also insisted he was in good
condition.
“It’s not the end of a myth today,
it’s the end of the Tour de France, of
Lance’s aspirations to win,”
RadioShack manager Johan
Bruyneel said. “All that could go
wrong, went wrong.”
In his heyday, whether by luck or
quicker reflexes, Armstrong almost
never crashed. This Tour, he’s
already gone down twice — and
been held up several other times by
the falls of others.
“He took a big blow to his left hip
and it was impossible to push all the
way,” said Bruyneel, Armstrong’s
coach during his seven victories.
“He wasn’t defeated physically
today, but through bad luck.”
His collapse Sunday was so com-
plete that the only remaining ques-
tion was whether he would finish.
He could try to find a graceful way
to slip home to be with his four,
soon to be five, children.
Or, more in character, he might
offer one more poke in the eye to his
rivals — by trying to win at least a
stage. For him to quietly ride the
rest of the race, turning it into a two-
week-long farewell would be out of
character for someone who loves
the limelight and has 2.5 million
followers on Twitter.

Cust homers, Athletics beat Angels 5-2

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Trevor Cahill spent the past
week peppering his Oakland teammate
Andrew Bailey with questions about the All-
Star game, imploring the closer to find a way
onto the team even if it meant giving up his
own spot in return.
In a roundabout way, that’s exactly what
happened.
Cahill scattered five hits over seven innings
while Bailey pitched a scoreless ninth for his
18th save, and the A’s beat the Los Angeles
Angels 5-2 on Sunday.
Cahill (9-3) was replaced on the All-Star
roster by Angels starter Jered Weaver, who
lost for only the second time in his last six
starts. Since he also pitched Sunday, Weaver
was taken off the roster and replaced by
Bailey, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year
who will make his second straight trip to the
All-Star game.
“We live together and for the past week he’s
been like, ’You gotta make the team, you
gotta make the team,”’ Bailey said. “He’s

“After the last game I put a little more pres-

Cahill scattered five hits over seven innings
and worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam
in the sixth without allowing a run to earn the
win.

e’re all doing it. Going green
or, at least, trying on a very
pale shade of it, for those still
thinking about steps they can take to be
more environmentally friendly. In addition
to measures you’ve taken in your personal
life — from installing solar panels and
buying hybrids to riding your bike more
and being better about recycling — consid-
er these pet-related green tips. Though we
don’t label shelter pets as “recycled” (we
prefer calling them “pets who deserve sec-
ond chances”), adoption is definitely a
green deal. You’re also being green when
you “fix” your pet. Unwanted and acciden-
tal litters fill animal shelters with pets who
need to be rehomed. Spaying and neuter-
ing — as well as donating to organizations
which offer this service at a discount or for
free (PHS/SPCA does both!) greatly
reduce animal shelters’ intake. Since
adding a low-cost clinic in the early 1970s,
PHS/SPCA’s annual dog and cat intake has
dropped from a whopping 45,000 to under
10,000! If you’ve already adopted a spayed
or neutered pet, there’s more. You can use
biodegradable poop bags or, if you are
striving to be electric green, transport your
dog’s waste to the toilet. Buy green toys
and collars. You can find neckwear for
your dog made from hemp, cat toys made
from recycled plastic (worldwise.com)
even dogs beds made from recycled soda
bottles (westpawsdesign.com). When your
pet has an accident in the house, make sure
to clean up with non-toxic, enzyme-based
products. Nature’s Miracle Stain & Odor
remover is easy to find. Many pet foods
are organic, which means they don’t pol-
lute in the process by using pesticides
while they are growing the ingredients.
Lastly, when it’s time to replace your tow-
els, don’t forget your local shelter. Every
shelter I know needs towels, year-round,
for bedding. This is a wonderful re-use for
items that are often tossed out.

‘Despicable Me’tops box office
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “Despicable Me” was-
n’t such a bad guy after all, it seems, opening
at the top of the box office with an estimated
$60.1 million.
The first 3-D animated movie from
Universal Pictures stars Steve Carell as the
voice of Gru, a bumbling villain with plans to
steal the moon — until three adorable orphan
girls enter his life. Jason Segel, Russell Brand
and Julie Andrews are among the star-studded
voice cast.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for
Universal, said Sunday that “Despicable Me”
far exceeded the studio’s expectations for
opening weekend.
“Thirty (million) would have been a win for
the studio — because it’s a new creative idea,
we really didn’t know what we had, so we
backed in saying $30 (million),” said Rocco.
“I would never have said $50 million-plus.”
Rocco believes a number of factors worked
in the movie’s favor, including jokes for the
kids and more grown-up humor and a warm-
hearted story for adults. But the tiny, yellow
Minions — quirky, pill-shaped creatures who
spout gibberish and help Gru carry out his

Appetite for ‘better burgers’ shows no satiety

By Matthew Barakat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — With a
drive-through seemingly on every
corner, you might think the market
for burgers long ago reached satura-
tion. But the fastest-growing restau-
rant chain in America last year was
Five Guys, which specializes in dou-
ble-pattied behemoths the size of a
softball.
And that’s just the tip of the arugu-
la. So-called “better burger” joints
are one of the fastest-growing parts
the restaurant industry. Celebrity
chef Bobby Flay launched Bobby’s
Burger Palace in the Northeast.
Elevation Burger is expanding into
Kuwait. Mooyah Burgers & Fries,
Meatheads and the Shake Shack are
looking to expand.
Higher-grade beef, fresher or more
creative toppings, and better buns are
bringing customers in the door.
The Washington, D.C., area has
emerged as fertile ground for ground
chuck. Five Guys, the earliest suc-
cess story, is based in Lorton, Va.,
Elevation Burger in Arlington, BGR-
The Burger Joint in Lansdowne.
Ray’s Hell Burger, also in
Arlington, is not a chain, but the
restaurant run by iconoclastic chef
Michael Landrum earned a national
profile with President Barack Obama
taking Vice President Joe Biden and
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
there last month. (Medvedev’s
review: “Not quite healthy, but it’s
very tasty.”)
It’s a market that has room to
grow. Such chains represent only
about 2 percent of the $65 billion
burger market, said Darren Tristano,
executive vice president of Chicago-
based restaurant consultant
Technomic.
“The traditional players —
McDonald’s, Burger King and
Wendy’s — have really shifted their
focus away from burgers to break-
fast, chicken and beverages,” said
Tristano. He predicts better burger
chains will continue to have double-
digit sales growth for at least the next
few years.
The founder of Denver-based
Smashburger, fast-food industry vet-
eran Tom Ryan, was keenly aware
that Americans were hungry for
higher-quality fast-food burgers.
The company did extensive
research with fast-food customers
who reported that the burgers they
ate were mostly a matter of conven-
ience. “’It’s not the burger I crave;
it’s the burger I use,”’ Ryan said.
Smashburger has expanded to 70
stores in 15 states in just three
years.
Customers are willing to pay to
ease that craving. A Five Guys burg-
er runs anywhere from $4 to $6, and
some charge more.

end of the year to finish work on proj-

The Charter Review Committee, a 17-
person group assembled every eight
years to consider changes to the coun-
ty’s governing document, was specifi-
cally asked to analyze how to handle
mid-year vacancies. The Board of
Supervisors appointed Supervisor
Carole Groom in late 2008 to replace
Jerry Hill when he was elected to the
state Assembly. The decision drew the
criticism of those who felt voters
deserved to choose.

The increase is also an example of the
choices the council made over a three-
day stretch of public study sessions on
June 21, 28 and 30 in which it tried to
protect a handful of previously doomed
positions and services.
In other words, parking meters are
bad. Losing positions is worse.
The council’s other tweaks to the gen-
eral fund, scheduled for approval July
13, are:
• Add a new tree preservation permit
fee to generate $27,500;
• Decrease the transfer out of the gen-
eral fund to the gas tax fund by
$243,611 for one year only;
• Restore $121,418 in funding for one
juvenile specialist position in the police
department;
• Restore funding for 50 percent of
the child care coordinator position in the
Parks, Recreation and Community
Services, at a cost of $54,161;
• Add $65,000 for shared fire marshal
services with the city of Belmont.

It has also received federal stimulus
money to get people with disabilities
job ready and to help them find jobs.
Harrison Walkowiak, 23, has just fin-
ished participating in Gatepath’s transi-
tional program. The San Bruno resident
has autism and has been working at
CVS Pharmacy on El Camino Real in
South San Francisco for four weeks
now. He anticipates being hired full-
time, though, and is excited about it.
“I just want to be like the other
employees,” he said. “I like working.”
Dexter and Leica Alvaro had an at-
risk birth and were told when their son
Joziah was 3 years old that he was men-
tally retarded. They had Joziah reevalu-
ated at Stanford’s Lucile Packard
Hospital where he was eventually diag-
nosed with autism.
“It was depressing at first,” Dexter
Alvaro said. “It was something we

The special was of particular interest
quently voters comes too late to squelch
concern over the situation created by
Church’s pending vacancy, a different
question of district versus countywide
elections could affect how a replace-
ment is chosen. Without offering an
opinion, the review committee is recom-
mending voters decide whether elec-
tions should be held at-large or only
within a specific supervisorial district.
Other recommendations include
changing the treasurer-tax collector
from an elected position, requiring that
resignations in other county elected
offices be given in writing and deemed
irrevocable upon receipt and requiring
reviews every eight years of existing
boards and commissions to determine if
they should continue.
The committee met 13 times before
compiling the recommendations it pre-
sented to the board in late June. With lit-
tle time left after a hefty agenda, the
supervisors agreed to table the discus-
for downtown gated parking facilities,
after school sports programs, fire
inspections and field use.
The changes would increase the budg-
et expenditures by $274,050 and
increase general fund revenues by
$37,500.
This final list of budget changes came
at the end of a marathon meeting June
30 in which decisions over cuts generat-
ed ancillary discussions about govern-
ment’s role in city culture, whether pub-
lic ire over parking meters was worth
new revenue and what exactly is a core
service.
The council also used one speaker’s
experience asking the fire department
for help with a home lockout as the
starting point for talk of residents’ atti-
tudes and expectations. Councilwoman
Barbara Pierce recalled borrowing a
neighbor’s ladder to crawl through a
window as a child when her family
locked themselves out. Pierce said she
would never think to call the fire depart-
ment.
Chief Jim Skinner conceded some fire
departments do charge for lockout serv-
ices, which led to talk of whether that

to us without our approval.”
The Alvaros accessed Gatepath’s
mobility services for Joziah before the
autism diagnosis was made.
“Communicating with other parents
was the biggest help for my wife,” he
said.
Until Alvaro’s wife became pregnant
with their second child, she did most of
the child rearing. That has changed in
the past year though, as Joziah is now 4
and Leica cares for the couple’s new-
born.
“I never appreciated how much my
mom took care of us,” he said. “My wife
thinks I’m closer to him. I’ve become
his personal care giver.”
Alvaro rediscovered a love for writing
and just completed a screenplay based
loosely on his experience raising a boy
with autism.
“I will do anything and everything to
make sure that my son grows up happy
and healthy,” he said.
Gatepath often serves a client from
preschool through to adulthood and on
to advanced age.

wants to place any of them on the
November ballot, it must adopt an ordi-
nance followed by a final adoption at a
subsequent meeting. To accommodate
the tight timeline, County Counsel Mike
Murphy prepared five separate ordi-
nances for Tuesday that can be amended
as needed.
Any measure must pass with a simple
majority.
The estimated cost of placing any sin-

The council began its budget study
sessions with plans for $6.4 million in
cuts — including dozens of jobs slashed
from the staff of 560 — with the
remainder filled through salary freezes
and revenue. Of the 35.6 positions cut,
about half were vacant so up to 15
employees will lose their jobs.
After the adjustments, the total gener-
al fund reductions is approximately
$6.12 million.
The $6.8 million gap is roughly 8 per-
cent of the city’s budget and chalked up
to stagnant property and sales tax rev-
enue and increased employee retirement
and health costs. Last year’s budget was
$83.4 million.

ment heads finished their individual pre-
sentations before the City Council.
“It’s such a different budget than
we’ve ever had,” he said.

others to know how nice you are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - An authority on the subject might
bring it to your attention that something you have is of greater
value than you realize. This person appreciates its worth and
wants you to as well.

Probe sought into alcohol-energy drinks marketing

By Michael Virtanen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York
Sen. Charles Schumer is urging the
Federal Trade Commission to inves-
tigate the marketing of flavored
alcoholic beverages with caffeine
that appear to be explicitly designed
to attract underage drinkers.
In a letter to FTC Chairman Jon
Leibowitz, Schumer said Sunday
that the colorful cans are also
designed to befuddle parents and
police with labels that resemble
nonalcoholic energy drinks. He said
popular drinks such as Joose and
Four Loko also use very small print
to disclose alcohol content of up to
12 percent, about twice that of beer.
Michael Mikhail, chief executive
of United Brands Co. of La Mesa,
Calif., which makes Joose, said the
