Rail authority seeking grant DA asked to re-open molestation case

money for Peninsula segment False GHB tests led to dismissal, victims’group plans protest
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The California High-Speed Rail Authority is
preparing four separate federal grant applica-
tions to help jump-start construction on parts
of the project, including the San Francisco to
San Jose segment of the line.
The authority has until Aug. 6 to prepare the
applications, a day after its next scheduled
board meeting when it will decide which alter-
native to pursue on the Peninsula, one with 26
miles of trenches or tunnels and one with more

A state victims’ rights group is calling on
local prosecutors to re-launch a molestation
case against a Redwood City man whose
charges were dismissed after authorities dis-
covered that the tests they thought proved he
had drugged his estranged wife with GHB to
abuse their child were deemed false.
Crime Victims United of California, on
behalf of the child and her mother, say prose-
cutors wrongly dropped the case of Anthony
John Sadek. They plan to file a claim against
San Mateo County for defrauding the court and
violating four components of “Marsy’s Law.”

Math standards cheered — with some concern
Local educators:Meeting needs of struggling students key to success
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
California’s decision to align its curriculum
standards to those adopted in 33 other states is
receiving local praise, but education leaders
say success will only come by creating a plan
to support struggling students.
On Monday, California joined the other
states establishing national academic stan-
dards, known as the Common Core Standards,
which make small changes to the English cur-
riculum and introduce algebra to students ear-
lier. Mandating algebra for eighth-grade stu-
dents worries some. Locally, the number of
eighth graders taking algebra — which is a
goal — has risen in recent years. Education
officials in San Mateo County say creating
supportive programs for children will be the
key to meeting the higher standards.
“We are excited,” said Gary Wardell, assis-
tant superintendent of instruction for the San
Mateo County Office of Education. “It’s a
positive step.”
The goal of having eighth-grade students in
algebra is not new locally. In 2009, 58.1 per-
cent of eighth-grade students in San Mateo
County took algebra, according to the
California Department of Education. Of those
students, 54 percent showed a proficient or
advanced understanding of the topic. While
far from perfect, the results are a large
LOCAL
increase from 2002 when only 27 percent of
local eighth graders were enrolled in algebra.
Understanding, however, has not increased
since then — when it was also at 54 percent.
It’s the definition of “mandate” that worries
some educators.
David Sanchez, president of the
Burlingame-based California Teachers
Association, released a statement applauding
the standards but showed some concern.
“Many students are not prepared to com-
plete algebra 1 in eighth grade, and the pro-
posed ‘pathway’ approach for students who
aren’t could revert to tracking students — a
practice we’ve worked hard to eliminate. The
implementation of math courses should
remain at the local discretion of educators and
school districts based on student readiness,”
Sanchez wrote.
Full funding, a detailed implementation
plan and lots of oversight will be necessary to
be successful, Sanchez said.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Jack O’Connell directed staff to create an
implementation plan, which could take years.
Shifting to the new standards could also take
years.
“This will require new curriculum frame-
works, innovative instructional materials,
richer and deeper assessments and improved
accountability measures. I look forward to
seeing the results as the Common Core stan-
dards are fully implemented in California,” he
said in a prepared statement.
Supporting students struggling to meet stan-
dards was the largest concern of Scott
Laurence, superintendent of the San Mateo
Union High School District.
“They’ve done a fine job increasing the
standards. We need to make sure we have the
right support structures in place,” he said.
The San Mateo Union High School District
entered into program improvement this year
— a classification under No Child Left
Behind for a school or district not meeting
certain student achievement thresholds.
Having such a classification has forced the
district to re-evaluate support services for stu-
dents, a change about which Laurence was
happy.
One way to reach struggling students will
be a new eighth-grade math course in San
Mateo County, said Wardell. Generally, if a
student retakes a class he or she previously
failed, the results are the same if the class
doesn’t change. Instead, a new rigorous
course with lessons covering algebra, geome-
try and some statistics as an alternative to pre-
pare students who need extra help, said
Wardell.

Some vets say dogs stressed by war
By Dan Elliott
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE,
Colo. — Gina was a playful 2-year-old
German shepherd when she went to Iraq
as a highly trained bomb-sniffing dog
with the military, conducting door-to-
door searches and witnessing all sorts of
noisy explosions.
She returned home to Colorado cow-
ering and fearful. When her handlers
tried to take her into a building, she
would stiffen her legs and resist. Once
inside, she would tuck her tail beneath
her body and slink along the floor. She
would hide under furniture or in a corner

Mexico: 28K killed in drug violence since ’06
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — President Felipe
Calderon said he would consider a
debate on legalizing drugs Tuesday as his
government announced that more than
28,000 people have been killed in drug
violence since he launched a crackdown
against cartels in 2006.
Intelligence agency director Guillermo
Valdes also said authorities have confis-
cated about 84,000 weapons and made
total cash seizures of $411 million in
U.S. currency and $26 million worth in
pesos (330 million pesos).
Valdes released the statistics during a
meeting with Calderon and representa-
tives of business and civic groups, where
attendees exploring ways to improve
Mexico’s anti-drug strategy called on the
government to open a debate on legaliza-
tion.
Calderon said he has taken note of the
idea of legally regulating drugs in the
past.
“It’s a fundamental debate in which I
think, first of all, you must allow a dem-
ocratic plurality (of opinions),” he said.
“You have to analyze carefully the pros
and cons and the key arguments on both
sides.”
Three former presidents — Cesar
Gaviria of Colombia, Ernesto Zedillo of
Mexico and Fernando Cardoso of Brazil
— urged Latin American countries last
year to consider legalizing marijuana to
undermine a major source of income for
cartels. And Mexico’s congress also has
debated the issue.
But Calderon has so far said he is
opposed to the idea.
NATION/WORLD
Mexican soldiers stand guard outside at the morgue after the arrival of the body
of Ignacio ‘Nacho’Coronel,a major Mexican drug trafficker,in Guadalajara City.
“I’m not talking just about marijuana,”
analyst and writer Hector Aguilar
Camino said in proposing the debate
Tuesday, “rather all drugs in general.”
The most recent official toll of the drug
war dead came in mid-June, when the
attorney general said 24,800 had died.
Valdes did not specify a time frame for
the new statistics.
The government does not regularly
break down murder statistics, but leading
newspapers who kept their own counts
say last month was the deadliest yet
under Calderon: According to national
daily Milenio, 1,234 were killed in July.
REUTERS
The Mexican government says most
victims were involved in the drug trade.
Some attendees criticized the govern-
ment for lacking consistent statistics on
the drug war and an effective way to
communicate its successes. They also
said the government needs to do more to
combat the financial arm of organized
crime.
“There’s no systematic policy for
investigating or seizing the assets of
organized crime,” said Jose Luis Pineyro
of Mexico’s Autonomous Metropolitan
University, “nor a system of locating the
properties of organized crime.”

New York City panel clears
way for mosque near ground zero
NEW YORK — A city panel Tuesday cleared the way for
the construction near ground zero of a mosque that has caused
a political uproar over religious freedom and Sept. 11 even as
opponents vowed to press their case in court.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unani-
mously to deny landmark status to a building two blocks from
the World Trade Center site that developers want to tear down
and convert into an Islamic community center and mosque.
The panel said the 152-year-old lower Manhattan building
isn’t distinctive enough to be considered a landmark.
The decision drew praise from Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
who stepped before cameras on Governor’s Island with the
Statue of Liberty as a backdrop shortly after the panel voted
and called the mosque project a key test of Americans’ com-
mitment to religious freedom.

Foust got tangled
I
f you need any evidence that
the battle to either develop the
Cargill salt ponds or save the
Bay from development — depend-
ing on what side you’re on —
would be a no-holds barred politi-
cal brawl, look no further than last
week’s decision from the California
Fair Political Practices Commission
regarding Redwood City
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust.
Foust heads the business group
San Mateo County Economic
Development Association (SAM-
CEDA) which has proactively sup-
ported the potential development of
the site. She is also a member of
the Redwood City Council, which
has yet to vote on the plan, but will
eventually do so. It did, however,
already vote in May to award an
environmental review contract.
It was that vote that caught the
attention of Menlo Park
Councilman Andy Cohen, who
reported it to the FPPC for review
in June. The Fair Political Practices
Commission investigated Foust’s
dual roles and found that she vio-
lated the Political Reform Act. The
FPPC held that Foust’s vote as a
public official could affect her pri-
vate employer, SAMCEDA. In its
ruling, the FPPC laid out a poten-
tial scenario in which other devel-
opers, buoyed by SAMCEDA’s
favor of the Saltworks site, will
join the group as dues-paying
members.
That logic is a stretch since any
member of any city council leads
groups. That’s the nature of the
business — at least at the local
level. If a councilwoman is named

president of the Rotary Club, will
there be an uptick in membership
by those looking for favor? If an
insurance salesman is elected to the
council, should he not sell insur-
ance to people who own property
in the city? If a councilwoman is
named to the chair of her local
political party, should she not vote
on projects proposed by those who
vote like her?
Foust has since said she will
abstain from voting on the project
though she previously consulted
with the city attorney and she was
not the head of SAMCEDA when
it made its vote in support of the
project.
Local politics is filled with
potential pitfalls and conflicts of
interest are serious. The FPPC is
there for a good reason and fighting
it wouldn’t make sense no matter
the concern over its logic. When it
comes to this particular project, its
size dictates a larger level of inter-
est — for better or for worse. And
Foust got tangled.
DMB Saltworks wants to rede-
velop its 1,436-acre parcel into
open space, retail and up to 12,000
homes. Although far from
approved, the plan has incurred the
ire of environmental groups like
Save the Bay and neighboring
jurisdictions, such as the Menlo
OPINION
Park City Council, of which Cohen
is a member.
Cohen is no fan of the plan and
first floated a resolution in opposi-
tion of the redevelopment in
October with formal adoption by
the council in February. He is also
part of a large contingency of
politicians from around the Bay
Area who officially stated their
opposition to the redevelopment
because of its impact on the Bay
and surrounding residents.
Redwood City officials claim the
opposition is too soon as the pro-
posal has yet to make it through the
public planning process and com-
plain of other city officials med-
dling in their business, especially
this early on.
But with both DMB Saltworks
and Save the Bay sending out press
releases, studies and reams of other
mostly useless reports intending to
influence public opinion, it is clear
the battle is just beginning. And
make no mistake, both organiza-
tions will keep a watchful eye on
the other to ensure every decision is
done completely on the up and up.
As a councilwoman, Foust has
made it clear she supports the idea
of at least exploring the develop-
ment. Her role in SAMCEDA is to
promote the interests of the group.
Is that a conflict? The FPPC thinks
so. Alleging that somehow she has
a vested financial interest in the
development of the property is a
stretch, but the connection was
made. Any elected official, who
makes their way onto a decision-
making board, does so through
relationships, connections and sup-
port. And unless someone is retired
or has no financial interests, there
is a chance those ties could get tan-
gled. That’s business, and politics.
Fair or not, Foust got tangled. At
the very least, however, she will no
longer have to defend herself on
the matter. The decision was made
for her. Now she is clear to do as
she likes as SAMCEDA’s leader
with no further fear of retribution.
But make no mistake, just because
she will recuse herself from votes,
does not mean she won’t lobby for
her point of view as this proposal
makes its way through Redwood
City’s council chambers.

Taxpayer’s choice
Editor,
In Bruce Hamilton’s letter to the
editor, “Change that matters,” in the
July 29 edition of the Daily Journal,
he defends the supervisors’ decision
to deny voters a chance to choose
district elections by voting 4-1 not
to place the measure recommended
by the Charter Review Committee
on the November ballot. He then
suggests that the April Vargas/Don
Horsley runoff for the District 3
seat on the board is a sign that the
system is working. Having been a
candidate for that seat in the last
three elections, I can assure you
that this is a rare occurrence. One
look at the board’s 3-2 decision not
to place a sales tax on the
November ballot shows how those
in power operate.
Mark Church, Carol Groom and
Adrienne Tissier, all taxaholics and
endorsers of Horsley, knew the
sales tax would work against their
chosen candidate. April Vargas,
who supports district elections, had
taken a stand against the sales tax
which Horsley strongly supports.
Don has also never seen a parcel
tax he didn’t like. You can be sure
that he would apply the fertilizers
for growing government, Tramatola
and Godbe taxpayer funded sur-
veys, if he is elected. April Vargas
is the clear taxpayer’s choice in this
election.

California must be saved
Editor,
What is going to happen to the
together and move forward with
love, dedication and determination
to save it from financial collapse?
Blessed with miles of ocean beach-
es, snow-capped mountains, acres
of fertile farmland, giant redwood
forests and home for nearly all
kinds of wildlife, it must be saved.
The state has a governor who
blames all except himself for the
budget crisis, enough Republicans
in the state Assembly to block all
tax revenue legislation by the
Democrat majority there — which
always results in late budgets or
none at all.
But instead of keeping pressure
on both parties to pass a budget,
Gov. Schwarzenegger wanted to
force thousands of state workers to
accept federal minimum wages
until a budget was passed — a form
of political suicide. So while one of
the most beautiful and productive
states in the nation lies dormant
from lack of financial help, our
state leaders continue their “merry-
go-ride” to nowhere.

Foust targeted
Editor,
Let me see if I understand this.
Rossane Foust has not voted on nor
indicated approval of the Saltworks
Plan but has advocated a thorough
study of the proposal including put-
ting the Saltworks proposal through
the comprehensive California
Environmental Quality Act process
which includes the development of
an Environmental Impact Report.
alleging a conflict of interest since
Foust is the CEO of an organization
whose board has expressed support
for the plan. The FPPC in its wis-
dom has determined that developers
will now flock to join San Mateo
Country Economic Development
Association and its coffers will
swell with all the new dues paying
memberships. Is that as ridiculous
as it sounds?
The FPPC’s involvement was the
result of a complaint filed by Menlo
Park Councilman Andrew Cohen
who “respects” Foust, “but felt he
had no other choice.” Horse pucky.
Last fall in uncovered e-mails, we
read that Cohen exchanged e-mails
and sat down for lunch at least once
with the political director of Save
the Bay, Stephen Knight, prior to
submitting a resolution against the
Saltworks project to the Menlo Park
City Council. Save The Bay oppos-
es any study of the Saltworks pro-
posal including an Environmental
Impact Report. And Cohen, as well
as Menlo Park Councilwoman
Kelly Fergusson (she with all the
letters after her name), have
received campaign funds from the
Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra
Club who also opposes any study-
ing of the proposal.
Save The Bay and Andy Cohen
have managed to silence Foust.
There are six other councilmembers
on the dais. Who do you think
they’re going to go after next?

Big rally on hold
1,189.10
Stocks fall after weak earnings,economic reports
By Stephen Bernard
and Dave Carpenter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The stock market put
its big rally on hold Tuesday after disap-
pointing earnings and economic reports
reminded investors of the obstacles still
facing the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
38 points after rising 208 Monday on
brighter economic news. All the major
indexes fell moderately.
Investors were unhappy with just
about every major earnings or economic
report Tuesday. Procter & Gamble Co.
and Dow Chemical Co. reported earn-
ings and revenue that fell short of fore-
casts. Consumer spending and income
figures showed that people are still very
cautious with their money. Factory
orders fell in June, as did the number of
homes that were under contract to be
sold.
The stream of bad news was a
reminder that the recovery is going to be
bumpy and slow. So, following the mar-
ket’s pattern of recent months, they gave
Wall Street
back some of Monday’s big gain, which
was due in part to manufacturing news
that was better than expected. Trading
has been erratic since the spring amid
the conflicting signals about the recov-
ery, and many traders are quick to cash
in any profits.
Traders are also uneasy ahead of the
Labor Department’s July employment
report due out Friday. Consumers are not
expected to significantly increase their
spending until they feel more secure
about their jobs.
Dan Cook, a Chicago-based senior
market analyst with the brokerage firm
IG Markets, said many traders stayed out
of the market while they waited for the
employment report.
“These severely choppy markets are
scaring individual investors,” he said.
“There’s no way we can get them back in
the game without getting the employ-
ment numbers up.”
The government is expected to report
that employers cut 65,000 jobs last
month, but that includes temporary cen-
sus worker who were laid off. The
unemployment rate is expected to have
risen to 9.6 percent from June’s 9.5 per-
cent.
Investors are also uneasy about two
other labor market reports this week.
The payroll company ADP on
Wednesday will release its count of the
number of jobs created or lost at private
employers in July. And on Thursday, the
Labor Department issues its weekly
report on the number of laid-off workers
who filed for unemployment benefits for
the first time.
The Dow fell 38.00, or 0.4 percent, to
10,636.38. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 5.40, or 0.5 percent, to
1,120.46, while the Nasdaq composite
index fell 11.84, or 0.5 percent, to
2,283.52.
Losing stocks were ahead of gainers
by 2 to 1 on the New York Stock
Exchange, where consolidated volume
came to a very light 4.1 billion shares,
down from 4.2 billion on Monday. Light
volume can intensify stocks’ price
swings.

U.S.auto sales rise in July,thanks to ads,credit

By Dee-Ann Durbin
and Dan Strumpf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Summer promotions and
easier credit lured shoppers back to car
buying last month, a relief to an industry
worried about June’s sales slowdown.
Every major automaker except for
Ford and Daimler said their July sales
topped those in June. The biggest
monthly sales gains were posted by
Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, Subaru and
Kia.
The industry sold just over 1 million
cars and light trucks in July. That’s 6.6
percent higher than in June, when wor-
ries were growing that the economic
recovery might be faltering. Sales also
were 5.1 percent higher than in July of
2009, a year where sales fell to a 30-year
low.
Pickup trucks and luxury cars were big
sellers. Ford Motor Co. said July was the
first month in two and a half years that it
sold more than 50,000 F-150s. Sales of
the Toyota Tundra full-size pickup
jumped 40 percent over last July. The
newly redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee
also saw sales jump.
Cadillac’s SRX crossover, also
redesigned this year, saw surging sales
— up 750 percent over last July — and
Acura sales were 45 percent higher.
Jesse Toprak, vice president of indus-
try trends and analysis at the car pricing
website TrueCar.com, said growth in
truck and luxury sales is a positive sign
since buyers are most likely to hold off
purchases in those segments when times
are tough.
Toprak said there is a great deal of
pent-up demand in the market now. He
expects that to translate into sales gains
in the last half of the year, even if the
economy hasn’t fully recovered.
“There are many consumers out there
who are making need-based purchases,
who can’t wait any longer,” he said.
Expressed as an annual rate, July sales
were at a pace of 11.98 million. That’s
higher than last year’s total sales of 10.4
million, but still far from the peak sales
of 16.9 million in 2005.

Business briefs
Game company Electronic Arts posts 1Q profit
NEW YORK — Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc.
reported stronger results than it had forecast, boosted by solid
sales of games such as “2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa,”
“Scrabble” for Apple Inc.’s iPad and digital add-on content for
older titles.
EA, known for popular games such as the “Madden” foot-
ball series and “The Sims,” also cut operating expenses and
reaffirmed its full-year guidance. Its shares got a boost in
after-hours trading as a result.
For the three months ended June 30, EA’s net income was
$96 million, or 29 cents per share. This is up from a loss of
$234 million, or 72 cents per share, in the same period a year
earlier. Net revenue rose to $815 million from $644 million.
By a more closely watched metric — adjusted results that
exclude special items and account for deferred revenue from
games with online components — EA reported a loss and rev-
enue decline. Even so, it handily surpassed Wall Street’s
expectations for the second quarter in a row.

Clorox 4Q net income nearly flat on higher taxes

NEW YORK — Household products maker Clorox Co. said
Tuesday that its fourth-quarter net income was nearly flat,
even though its revenue rose 1 percent, because it paid higher
taxes and had smaller margins than a year earlier.
Overall volume rose 2 percent, helped by record shipments
of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressings and Kingsford char-
coal, and revenue rose to $1.52 billion from $1.5 billion.
The company earned $171 million, or $1.20 per share, in
the three months that ended June 30. A year earlier, Clorox
earned $170 million, or $1.20 per share.
The results met the average forecast of analysts surveyed by
Thomson Reuters for $1.20 per share on revenue of nearly
$1.51 billion.
Clorox still expects to earn $4.50 to $4.65 per share for fis-
cal 2011, in line with estimates. For the full year, its net
income rose 12 percent and revenue rose 1.5 percent, and it
expects sales to grow between 2 percent and 4 percent in 2011
— more likely at the lower end of the range.

BP begins pumping mud
By Harry R. Weber and Greg Bluestein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — BP
embarked Tuesday on an operation that could
seal the biggest offshore oil leak in U.S. history
once and for all, forcing mud down the throat of
its blown-out well in a tactic known variously as
“bullheading” or a “static kill.”
The pressure in the well dropped quickly in
the first 90 minutes of the procedure, a sign that
everything was going as planned, wellsite
leader Bobby Bolton told the Associated Press
aboard the Q4000, the vessel being used to
pump in the mud.
He said the work could be complete by
Tuesday night or Wednesday, though BP said
the effort could continue through Thursday, and
engineers won’t know for more than a week if it
choked the well for good.
The 122 crew members on the Q4000 were
excited about being part of what could be the
final resolution to a drama that started with the
April 20 explosion on the offshore drilling rig
Deepwater Horizon, Capt. Keith Schultz said.
“I’m a mariner and we lost mariners out here,”
said Schultz, who is on his second 28-day tour of
duty since the spill started. “I’m very confident
we’ll be able to kill this well. It’s been one mag-
ical time trying to get this thing plugged.”
A 75-ton cap placed on the well in July has
been keeping the oil bottled up inside over the
past three weeks, but that is considered only a
temporary measure. BP and the Coast Guard
want to plug up the hole more securely with a
column of heavy drilling mud and cement.
The static kill involves slowly pumping mud
down lines running from a ship to the top of the
ruptured well a mile below. BP said that may be
enough by itself to seal the well.
BUSINESS/NATION
The containment capping stack is seen in this image captured from a BP live video feed from
the Gulf of Mexico.
But retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the
government’s point man for the spill, made it

Intel, FTC settle
antitrust case, as expected
SAN FRANCISCO — Intel Corp. has set-
tled an antitrust lawsuit filed against it by the
Federal Trade Commission.
The two sides confirmed the settlement late
Tuesday and the FTC scheduled a news con-
ference for Wednesday morning to release
details. Neither side would comment further.
With the settlement, which was expected,
Intel is sweeping away one of the last
reminders of a bitter, yearslong campaign by a
major rival that caused the world’s biggest
semiconductor company a world of legal pain.
The rival — Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
— helped convince regulators around the
world that Intel’s sales tactics harmed con-
sumers and illegally injured rivals. Intel is
accused of bullying computer makers into
avoiding rivals’ chips and sabotaging rivals’
attempts to get their chips to work with Intel’s.
CBS second quarter beats
expectations on ad rebound
LOS ANGELES — Broadcasting giant CBS
Corp. said Tuesday that its second-quarter
profit surged thanks to a rebound in local
advertising spending, which is climbing back
toward normal levels as the recession fades.
CBS’s net income was nearly 10 times the
level a year ago as cost-cutting helped profit
and revenue rose 11 percent. The earnings beat
expectations and shares were up 3.3 percent in
after-hours trading.
The resurgence in ad spending was across
the board, led by the automobile, telecommu-
nications, retail, financial services and enter-
tainment sectors. Local ad spending, which
makes up about a fifth of CBS’s revenue, rose
17 percent from a year ago.

Bulldogs bid for state title falls short

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite losing in the champi-
onship round of the American
Legion 17-and-under state baseball
tournament Tuesday in Yountville,
San Mateo Post 82 had a season to
remember.
The Bulldogs finished 29-10 in
advancing to state for the second
time in three years. At the junior
Legion level, the state round is the
final stage of the season, so win or
lose San Mateo’s season was com-
ing to a close on Tuesday.
“I’m more than happy with what
we did the whole summer,” San
Mateo assistant coach Jesse Lehane
said. “I have no regrets, that’s for
sure. I’m just bummed the season is
over.”
The Bulldogs came out of the
loser’s bracket and thus needed to
beat Vista-Murrieta twice to win the
championship. However, they sim-
ply ran out of pitching against a
loaded Vista squad, dropping a 13-4
decision. San Mateo opened tourna-
ment action with an 11-2 win over
Napa Saturday before losing 10-5 to
Deer Valley Sunday.
But the Bulldogs came back with
a pair of elimination-bracket victo-
ries Monday, 11-10 and 14-3 over
Davis and Deer Valley, respectively.
Although the Bulldogs advanced to
the state tournament, it was an atyp-
ical year in that they only played a
half-dozen or so league games.
There were only four teams in the
Peninsula Junior Legion league this
season: San Mateo, Palo Alto,
Gilroy and Half Moon Bay. Palo
Alto had trouble putting together a
full squad for the postseason and
Gilroy wasn’t competitive, leaving
San Mateo and Half Moon Bay to
play a best-of-three series for the
right to advance to state.
The Bulldogs won Game 1 and
lost Game 2 before pulling out a
decisive 14-2 victory in the winner-
take-all contest. Even though San
Mateo didn’t have the toughest road
to state, it proved to be the second
best team in all of California.
In addition to state, the Bulldogs
had strong showings in every tour-
nament in which they played.
They opened the season by win-
ning the Foster City Colt tourna-
ment — they were allowed to com-
pete in the tourney because all of
their players were 16 and under at
the time — before producing run-
ner-up finishes in the Chico Father’s
Day and Ripon tournaments to go
along with a 3-3 record in the Reno
Fourth of July tournament.
The Ripon and Reno tournaments
consisted mostly of 19-and-under
teams, making the Bulldogs’
accomplishments all the more
impressive. But it was a 8-7 non-
league win over Clayton Valley in
the second week of the season that
set the tone. San Mateo trailed 7-2
with one out in the bottom of the
seventh inning before rallying for a
one-run victory.
“They were relentless in that
game and it carried over for the

Teammates: Favre done

By Jon Krawczynski

could bring
NFL balance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANKATO, Minn. — Even
though Brett Favre has told some of
his teammates he’s calling it a career,
the Minnesota Vikings are hoping for
one last change of heart from the
quarterback who just can’t stay
retired.
Favre has started to contact team-
mates and Vikings officials to say he
will not return for a 20th NFL season,
tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said on
Tuesday evening.
“He told a couple guys on our team
he’s going to retire,” Shiancoe said
after practice. “He hasn’t told me yet.
I’m going to check my phone right
now, but it hasn’t been said publicly
yet so I don’t know what to believe.”
Earlier Tuesday, a person with
knowledge of the situation told the
Associated Press that the 40-year-old
Favre contacted the Vikings to say he
wouldn’t return this season because
his injured left ankle is not responding
as well to surgery and rehabilitation as
he had hoped. The person spoke on
condition of anonymity because no
official announcements were made.
Coach Brad Childress said Favre
had not told him directly that he plans
to retire as of Tuesday morning. The
coach would not confirm Favre’s sta-
tus with the team, calling it a “fluid
situation,” and he was unavailable for
comment after the evening practice.
Owner Zygi Wilf declined to com-
ment.
“I’m not a big hearsay person,”
Childress said. “I gotta hear it from
the horse’s mouth.”
See FAVRE, Page 17
S
am Bradford is coming off of shoul-
der surgery, and has never taken a
snap in the NFL. Yet the No. 1 draft
pick managed to get the St. Louis Rams to
guarantee him $50 million and a possible
$78 million over six years.
Tom Brady hasn’t had as much luck so
far at the bargaining table with the New
England Patriots. And that’s despite three
Super Bowl wins, a
proven arm, and an
uncanny ability to
complete a pass when
it means the most.
Not that Brady’s
wallet isn’t already
fat. He’s in the final
year of a deal that
pays him $60 million,
so there will likely be
no need for any
TIM fundraisers to help
him pay the electric
DAHLBERG bill.
To his credit, he’s
not complaining about not having a new
deal. He’s one of the rare athletes who truly
seems to appreciate being able to become
rich playing a game he loves.
“I certainly don’t think we have much to
gripe about,” Brady said the other day.
As the top draft picks hire investment
managers for their new millions and head
off to camp, though, maybe it’s time for
some griping to begin.
Darrelle Revis is doing his griping with
his feet. Staying out of training camp is

49ers’Davis eager for season to start
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Vernon Davis is sport-
ing a new mohawk ’do and he’s even threat-
ening to dye that remaining strip of hair gold.
“Something to laugh about, keep guys
laughing around here at training camp,” the
Pro Bowl tight end joked.
No gold hair yet. But there was plenty of
good-natured trash talking from Davis toward
the defense at training camp Tuesday, and
vice versa. Keeping things light, all right.
Aside from his appearance, San Francisco’s
typically outspoken offensive star insists he
doesn’t want to draw any negative attention to
himself by speaking out on his unsettled con-
tract situation. In early May, linebacker
Patrick Willis received a five-year contract
extension from the 49ers — leaving many to
wonder whether Davis would be next.
Last Wednesday, Chargers tight end
Antonio Gates was rewarded with a $36.175
million, five-year contract extension, with
$20.4 million guaranteed.
Davis saw those numbers. He reiterated at
the start of camp this week that his time will
come to get paid. For now, he’s all about
focusing on football.
And yapping at guys like cornerback Nate
Clements along the way.
Heyward-Bey hopes extra work pays off
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA — Nearly every day after practice,
Oakland Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-
Bey stays late to get some extra work in against
Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
The Raiders’ best player and one of their
most disappointing from a year ago work on
getting off the line of scrimmage, getting sepa-
ration and other key details a receiver needs to
master to succeed in the NFL.
“It’s helping me out a lot,” Heyward-Bey
said. “With him being the top DB in the league,
picking his brain is key. When you go against
those other guys from the league, if I can fig-
ure out Nnamdi and he can help me out, it’s
going to work out for this team.”
Just about nothing worked out for Heyward-
Bey and the Raiders during his rookie season a
year ago. Oakland drafted him seventh overall
ahead of more accomplished college receivers
like Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin in a
pick that was widely mocked at the time as a
SPORTS
“It’s just not something that’s on my mind
at the moment,” Davis said of the business
side. “My main focus is concentrating on
football. That’s what I’m here to do. I don’t
want to discuss the contract with anybody. I
just don’t want to deal with it at the moment.”
The 26-year-old Davis finished his fourth
NFL season in 2009 with career highs of 78
catches and 965 yards and tied Gates’ NFL
record for touchdowns by a tight end with 13.
He plans to be even more productive in
2010 as long as he gets the opportunities, his
regular mantra.
If he continues to make big plays, he under-
stands everything should take care of itself.
“What it all boils down to is it really is not
my concern,” Davis said of the contract. “I’m
not really worried about that. My focus right
now going into training camp, as well as
through the season, is to play as best I can to
help this team win games. That’s my only
focus.”
Coach Mike Singletary doesn’t doubt it. He
named Davis a captain last season after seeing
the tight end mature into a leader on the field
and off it.
Davis used to be a guy known for scuffling
with teammates in camp. This year, he doesn’t
plan on any altercations — saying there’s no
time for such nonsense.
The 49ers have an offensive continuity this
training camp with Davis, quarterback Alex
typical Raiders choice of speed over produc-
tion.
Nothing Heyward-Bey
did as a rookie silenced
those critics. He struggled
to hold onto the ball in
practices and that carried
over into the games. He
finished his rookie year
with nine catches for 124
yards and one touchdown
Darrius before missing the final
five games with a foot
Heyward-Bey injury.
If one play was emblematic of Heyward-
Bey’s season it came late in the ninth game of
the season at home against Kansas City. With
Oakland driving for the potential winning
score in the final minute, a pass from Bruce
Gradkowski hit Heyward-Bey in the hands,
bounced off the receiver’s knees and fell into
Mike Brown’s hands for a game-sealing inter-
ception in the Chiefs’ 16-10 win.

like second-year pro Michael Crabtree, who
missed all of training camp last year.
Davis has high hopes for the offense.
Bey said. “I’m thinking about the next play,
thinking about making plays. That’s all I’m
thinking about.”
Heyward-Bey put in extra work in the off-
season. He put on about 10 to 15 pounds of
muscle in hopes that the added strength will
help him break tackles for big plays, put in
extra work with the quarterbacks to improve
his hands and did what he could to put the dis-
appointing rookie year behind him.
While he claims to ignore the criticism, it
was almost impossible to escape.
“It hurt him what happened last year,”
Asomugha said. “Naturally he didn’t feel good
about the things that were said, whatever. It’s
not like it was a secret. He knew that he didn’t
play well. That hurt him. This year it looks like
he’s had a different purpose. He’s going out
and doing well.”
Asomugha had a similar experience coming
into the NFL, although not at quite as high a
profile. Like Heyward-Bey, Asomugha was
considered a reach when the Raiders selected
him 31st overall in the 2003 draft.

“I definitely expect it to be different than
last year because we have a lot of guys who
are willing to step up to the table this year,”
Davis said. “There will definitely be a lot
more playmaking.”
Davis would like nothing more than for that
to start with him.
He is determined to help get the 49ers back
to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
At 8-8 last season, San Francisco ended a
franchise-worst stretch of six straight losing
seasons — but that wasn’t enough for
Singletary or his players.
“Vernon is a guy that understands that you
have to come out here and just do the best you
can. Vernon loves the game, he’s focused, he’s
making the plays he is supposed to make, and
at some point in time, he’ll take that next
level,” Singletary said. “But he’s just really
having fun. He really is.”
If Smith had to guess now, he would predict
Davis would at least equal his production
from last season and perhaps even top it.
“I don’t see why not,” Smith said.
“Obviously, statistics are statistics, but I think
he continues to get better and better. I think
last year was great for him and he’ll continue
to gain in confidence. He has that mentality
that he wants the ball and he wants to be a dif-
ference-maker and that’s a good thing. So,
yes, I expect even more out of him. I expect
him to take that next step.”
He also struggled early before having a
breakthrough year in 2006 with eight intercep-
tions. He has been to three Pro Bowls since
then and signed a three-year, $45.3 million
contract before last season that made him the
highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
Asomugha said he talked with Heyward-Bey
about dealing with those expectations last year
but has kept this year’s focus on the positive.
That’s where the extra work comes in.
“I told him the first day before we even had
practice that after every single practice that
we’re going to get some work on the things
that he needs to work on,” Asomugha said.
“Because even when he’s getting the work, I’m
getting the work and doing extra stuff. So we’ll
come aside after practice and I’ll ask him what
is it today. He’ll be like, I need work on this, I
need work on that. We just go out and do it.”
The improvement has been obvious in off-
season practices and at training camp. Coach
Tom Cable said he sees a very different player
from the struggling rookie of a year ago, who
would let one drop ruin an entire practice.

Streaking Giants pulverize Rockies BULLDOGS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Jonathan Sanchez limited
Colorado to three hits over six innings and the
surging San Francisco Giants beat the Rockies
10-0 on Tuesday night.
After five straight no-decisions, Sanchez (8-
6) won for the first time since July 5 and
equaled his 2009 victory total. Sanchez struck
out seven straight batters at one point and fin-
ished with nine strikeouts before leaving after
a leadoff walk in the seventh.
The Giants, who have won four straight
games and 21 of their past 26, had a four-run
first inning against Aaron Cook (4-8), who
lasted three innings and allowed eight hits and
five runs. In his past three starts, Cook is 0-3
with a 13.97 ERA.

runs in a 36-pitch first inning. After Cook

whole summer,” Lehane said. “They never
gave up and as a coach, you always appreciate
players who fight for everything.”
Indeed, San Mateo was a model of consis-
tency, as it lost back-to-back games just once
the entire season. Key players included
Orlando Razo, Dominic Orlando, Collin
Theroux, Thomas Cox, Paul Murray, Matt
Gorgolinski, Armando Fajardo, Derek
Merryweather and Jordan Paroubeck, just to
name a few.
Murray came on particularly strong in
Yountville, collecting six hits over the first two
games and two more in Game 3. Lehane said
Murray was the only player on the team who
played in every single game of the season.
Fajardo, a rising standout out of Hillsdale
High, pitched five solid innings in the win over
Deer Valley and played his usual strong
defense at shortstop.
First baseman/left fielder Orlando hit a
triple in each of the first two games in state,
and pitcher/center fielder Razo had a stellar
pitching performance in the win over Napa.
Theroux, who will be a junior at Serra High,
was arguably the team’s most consistent play-
er along with Murray.
The catcher was tough defensively and
showed why he figures to be a force once the
high school season rolls around. Lehane said
Theroux led the team in virtually every major
offensive category batting from his cleanup
position.
“We had a small team but a good one,”
Lehane said. “We had core group of 14 play-
ers and they played beyond their years.”

play another international giant in Bayern Munich
to begin their European leg of pre-season matches.
While the stars might not get a lot of time on the
field, fans are still forking out between $45 and $95
to catch the likes of former FIFA Footballer of the

Spanish national team that won the 2010 FIFA

For Club America, winners of 10 Primera

their current league schedule, which is already two

“To play in this type of game, especially against

Continued from page 12
year of a six-year deal he signed coming out
of college. Without their shutdown corner-
back, the Jets almost certainly wouldn’t have
made the playoffs last season for the first
time in three years.
Even harder to blame Revis when rookie
Joe Haden signed on Saturday to play cor-
nerback for the Cleveland Browns. His price
tag? About $50 million over five years, with
$26 million of that money guaranteed.
Anyone get the idea there’s something
wrong here?
NFL owners certainly think so, which is
why the issue of a rookie salary cap will be
front and center if and when the league and
the players get down to serious bargaining
for the agreement that expires next year.
Commissioner Roger Goodell made that
clear at the draft, even as he underestimated
the amount of money Bradford would get
from the Rams.
“As much as I like these young rookies,
and I do think they’re terrific, it’s crazy to
give someone who hasn’t proven themselves
on the NFL field $45 million,” Goodell said.
Goodell’s point is well taken, as any
Raiders fan can tell you. Past performance in
college guarantees nothing in the NFL.
That doesn’t mean Bradford will be a flop
in the NFL, but that’s the risk teams take.
They’re rolling the dice, hoping all the tests
and tryouts will uncover a bust like JaMarcus
Russell before the $39 million is wired into
his bank account.
But with hundreds of millions (Goodell
estimated $600 million for this year’s rookie
class alone) being given out in guaranteed
contracts, there are going to be mistakes.
And they will be costly, which is one reason
owners will push hard for a rookie salary cap
during the current negotiations.
The player’s union, of course, would rather
have no cap at all. But NFLPA executive
director DeMaurice Smith said last month
that the union has already given the league a
proposal that includes rookie contracts short-
er than the standard five or six years — but
only if the league agrees to take the money
saved and give it to veteran players and to
improved pensions for retired players.
That’s not likely to happen, given the
increasingly loud griping from teams about
THE DAILY JOURNAL
escalating salaries. The owners would like to
implement a rookie salary cap without prom-
ising too much in return on the other end.
But don’t feel too sorry for the veterans.
Brady will surely get his contract, and Colts
owner Jim Irsay says he intends to make
Peyton Manning the league’s highest-paid
player in his new deal.
Jets owner Woody Johnson, meanwhile,
reached out to Revis on Monday and offered
to personally sit in on negotiations with the
cornerback to get him a contract he can live
with.
Indeed, there seems to be no shortage of
money around the NFL, no matter what the
owners like to claim. They are awash in cash
from hugely lucrative television deals and
high ticket prices.
Properly negotiated, a rookie salary cap
could help ensure that cash is spread more
equally around.
And that could make a lot of veteran play-
ers as happy as a rookie on draft day.

FAVRE
Continued from page 12
As always with the former MVP, things could
change. Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, did not
return messages from the AP.
“I plead the fifth on everything,” defensive end
Jared Allen said. “I love Brett and he reserves
the right to do what he wants to do. We obvi-
ously love him as a teammate. We’d like to have
him back. But until it’s official, I’ll believe it
when I see it.”
Fair enough. With Favre, nothing ever seems
final. He told the Vikings last year he wouldn’t
play, but changed his mind and joined them
immediately after they broke training camp.
Childress even drove to the airport to pick him
up for his 19th NFL season. Camp this year ends
on Aug. 12.
Favre can expect some calls from teammates
urging him to reconsider.
“I’m going to try to get him here every chance
I get,” Shiancoe said. “I’m going to try to send
him texts or something. But at the same time, I
know he made a decision for a reason and hope-
fully that reason transforms or gets better.”
SPORTS
Star running back Adrian Peterson said he still
hopes that Favre will be handing him the ball in
the season opener on Sept. 9 in New Orleans.
Peterson said he exchanged text messages with
Favre on Tuesday but declined to give details.
“I’m still up in the air like you guys trying to
figure out what’s going to happen,” Peterson
said. “I’m sure he’ll make the best decision for
him.”
This uncertainty is nothing new for the
Vikings, who have spent the last three years
answering questions about Favre’s future.
“It’s always back and forth with Brett,” said
quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, in line to get the
starting job if Favre is gone. “It’s his decision.
He deserves the opportunity to decide when he’s
going to retire or not, whether he wants to retire
or not. It’s up to him. Right now, I’m just trying
to focus on getting better.”
Favre has considered retiring every summer
since 2002. It led to an ugly parting with the
Packers that got him traded from Green Bay to
the Jets in 2008. After a so-so season in New
York, he announced his retirement in early 2009
for the second time, then reconsidered and
signed with the Vikings.
He had one of his best seasons last year, with
career bests in completion percentage (68.4),
quarterback rating (107.2) and fewest intercep-
tions (7), while throwing for 33 TDs and 4,202
yards to lead the Vikings to an NFC North title.
He hurt his left ankle in the NFC championship
loss to the New Orleans Saints and had arthro-
scopic surgery in May.
Favre was under contract for $13 million this
season, but only if he plays.
Nearly everyone has been assuming Favre
would return and he did nothing to discourage
that. He threw passes for a second straight sum-
mer with high school students in Hattiesburg,
Miss., joked about playing until he’s 50 and said
playing another year wouldn’t worsen his
already-damaged ankle.
Packers linebacker Nick Barnett said he didn’t
know whether to believe the latest news.
“It’s like believing in Santa Claus. You get
gifts, but you ain’t seen Santa Claus,” he said.
“We’ll see what happens ... If he does retire,
congratulations. It’s a well-deserved retirement.
But if he does come back, we’ll be gunning for
him the same way.”
If Favre decides to actually retire it will end
one of the most storied careers in NFL history. A
three-time league MVP (1995-97), Favre won
the Super Bowl in 1997 with the Packers. His 11
Pro Bowl appearances are the most ever by a
quarterback.
Wednesday • Aug. 4, 2010 17
Indeed, Favre holds most major NFL records
for a quarterback, including career touchdowns
(497), yards passing (69,329); wins (181); and
seasons with at least 3,000 yards passing (18).
Of course, he also has thrown the most inter-
ceptions (317) and been sacked 503 times — a
long, long history of wear and tear.
“To be real with you it’s going to be a big set-
back,” Shiancoe said of the prospect of losing
Favre. “We are all feeling it today. We are feel-
ing it today to be real. But at the same time we
all understand ... he just has to do what he has to
do.”
Retirement would also mean that the last pass
of his career was an interception. Tracy Porter
picked off a forced throw from Favre with the
Vikings in New Orleans territory at the end of
regulation, preventing an attempt at a game-win-
ning field goal. Favre watched helplessly from
the sidelines as Drew Brees drove the Saints for
the winning field goal in overtime.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who grew
up in Wisconsin as a Favre fan, said he was sur-
prised the veteran might hang it up after playing
so well last season.
“If it is (true), then we were lucky enough to
watch an unbelievable talent and great guy,”
Romo said. “But it’s better to go the year before
than a year too late.”

Dems,GOP push dueling conclusions on Kagan
By Julie Hirschfeld Davis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Democrats and
Republicans presented dueling portraits
Tuesday of Elena Kagan and the
Supreme Court she’s
seeking to join at the
start of a politically
charged debate over
her fitness to be a
justice, making what
amounted to closing
arguments before a
near-certain confir-
Elena Kagan mation vote by
week’s end.
Democrats praised President Barack
Obama’s nominee as a highly qualified
legal scholar who would add a sorely
needed note of fairness and common
sense to a court they described as domi-
nated by a conservative majority run
amok.
“She’ll base her approach to deciding
cases on the law and the Constitution,
not on politics, not on an ideological
agenda,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.,
the chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. He said today’s Supreme
Court is populated by “activist conserva-
tive members” who substitute their own
judgment for lawmakers’.

In a letter, assistant attorney general
Thomas Perez, head of the Justice
Department’s civil rights division, said
the sheriff’s office is not turning over
material that Perez’s lawyers are request-
ing. Over a year ago, Arpaio’s lawyers
asked that the Justice Department’s
Office of Professional Responsibility
investigate alleged attorney misconduct
regarding the investigation. In his letter to
Arpaio’s lawyers, Perez said such
“unfounded allegations” are not a basis
for refusing to cooperate with the Justice
Department probe.

Obama runs risk by withdrawing troops
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s decision to
stick to a promise to withdraw all but 50,000 U.S. troops from
Iraq by the end of August, despite a surge in violence, gives
more weight to domestic dismay at American losses than to
countering political unrest in the U.S.-liberated country.
As a senator, Obama called the war to free oil-rich Iraq
from Saddam Hussein’s cruel reign a “dumb war, a rash war.”
As president, though, he continued the fight to stabilize Iraq,
where at least 4,413 members of the U.S. military have died
since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Now with public sentiment rising against the growing U.S.
death toll in Afghanistan, Obama says he will make good on
a pledge to remove all designated combat forces from Iraq by
Sept. 1 — despite the threat of growing unrest in that country
and 16 months before the Bush administration’s total with-
drawal deadline at the end of 2011, which remains intact.
As president, Obama ordered a nearly threefold increase in
U.S. troops in Afghanistan to battle al-Qaida and the Taliban.
There have been 1,128 U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan,
Pakistan and Uzbekistan, by Associated Press count, since
fighting began in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks on the United States.
With the boost, however, the White House calculates the
total number of troops committed to the two conflicts will
have been reduced next month from 177,000 in January 2009
to roughly 146,000 — 50,000 in Iraq and 96,000 in
Afghanistan.
“This is exactly the wrong moment to complete the with-
drawal of combat forces, given the uncertainty in Iraq and
Iran’s increased involvement in trying to cause trouble in
Iraq,” John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute,
said Tuesday.
Senate delaying U.S.-Russia nuclear treaty vote
WASHINGTON — A Senate panel is delaying a vote to
recommend ratification of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.
The delay is a sign that Democrats are struggling to win
Republican support for the agreement.
Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry now
plans a vote for the “New START” treaty after lawmakers
return in September from a recess. It had been planned for
Wednesday.
Kerry’s committee must approve the treaty before the
Senate could ratify it by the required two-thirds vote in the
Senate, 67 votes. That would require support from at least
eight Republicans.
Democrats hope to ratify the treaty before November’s
congressional elections. Defeat would set back the Obama
administration’s nuclear disarmament goals and efforts to
improve relations with Russia.

Great burgers need

The best hamburger buns have a
subtle flavor that doesn’t overpow-

do just that.
This recipe combines a hearty
white bread with deep sourdough
flavor and tender potato texture.
These rolls can handle your

This simplified sourdough is very
forgiving. If you don’t have the

Are Americans now more
honest about their weight?
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Are Americans becoming more honest about
their weight?
That theory could explain why the gap appears to be closing
in what people say they weigh and what actual measurements
report.
A new government telephone survey released Tuesday puts
the adult obesity rate at nearly 27 percent and rising. A more
scientific survey has already said the rate is 34 percent and
holding steady.
Experts believe the 27 percent is probably an underestimate,
because it’s based on what people say. People tend to say they
weigh less than they actually do and say they are taller than
they are.
The fact that it’s catching up to the more accepted 34 percent
estimate could suggest people are becoming more accurate
when they talk about their girth. It’s one explanation, anyway,
said Dr. William Dietz, of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
“It is possible people are paying more attention to their
weight and reporting it more accurately,” said Dietz, director
of the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and
Obesity.
The new results are based on a telephone survey of about
400,000 people who were asked their height and weight. CDC
researchers then calculate whether the person is obese, follow-
ing a standard formula for body mass index.
Under the formula, a 5-foot-4 woman is obese if she weighs
174 pounds or more, a 5-foot-10 man fits that description if he
weighs at least 209 pounds.
The study found that nearly 27 percent of the surveyed
adults said they were obese in 2009, up from about 25.5 per-
cent in 2007, a small but statistically significant increase.
Earlier this year, the CDC released results from another
study that actually weighed and measured 5,700 adults. It
found that 34 percent are obese; results have been similar in
the last three surveys.

Obesity from a holistic perspective

It’s frightening to read statistics that
suggest children in the United States are
not expected to live past the generation
before them.
The United States is unique in that it is
the world-leader when it comes to chil-
dren who are both malnourished and
obese. These seemingly contradictory
facts suggest that what our children eat is
just as important as how much.
Many children eat cereal for breakfast,
a sandwich for lunch, cookies for a
snack, and pasta for dinner. On their
own, none of those items are particularly
threatening to your child’s health and
well-being, but the presence of refined
carbohydrates in their diets is dispropor-

Chicken producers debate ‘natural’ label

By Juliana Barbassa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A dis-
agreement among poultry producers
about whether chicken injected with
salt, water and other ingredients can
be promoted as “natural” has
prompted federal officials to consid-
er changing labeling guidelines.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture had maintained that if
chicken wasn’t flavored artificially
or preserved with chemicals, it
could carry the word “natural” on
the package.
But the agency agreed to take
another look at its policy after some
producers, politicians and health
advocates noted that about one-third
of chicken sold in the U.S. was
injected with additives that could
represent up to 15 percent of the
meat’s weight, doubling or tripling
its sodium content. Some argue that
could mislead or potentially harm
consumers who must limit their salt
intake.
The USDA’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service plans to issue
new proposed rules this fall.
Perdue, the nation’s third largest
poultry producer, is among those
pushing for a change. The company
has joined a group called the
Truthful Labeling Coalition, which
has hired a lobbyist and launched an
advertising campaign.
“Our labels say natural or all nat-
ural only if there is nothing added,”
Perdue spokesman Luis Luna said.
“Under no circumstances is it
acceptable to label poultry that has
been enhanced with water or broth
or solutions as natural, or all natu-
ral.”
Such mixtures are injected into
poultry to make the meat tastier and
more tender.
The two largest chicken proces-
sors, Pilgrim’s Pride and Tyson
Foods, are among those that affix
“natural” labels to chicken injected
with extra salt and water. Industry
experts said the practice has become
more common in the past decade.
Tyson spokesman Gary
Mickelson said the company spon-
sored a national study that found
most consumer didn’t mind those
labels if the ingredients added were
deemed natural.
Gary Rhodes, a spokesman for
Pilgrim’s Pride, said the company
simply wanted to offer its customers
a choice.
“We offer both 100 percent natu-
ral enhanced and non-enhanced
fresh chicken,” Rhodes said. “It
really depends on what the cus-
tomer wants. It’s all about choice.”
But Bill Mattos, president of the
California Poultry Federation,
argued that current labeling rules
leave consumers confused. He said
the industry needs to work harder at
being clear about its products.
“With all the talk about food now,
all the interest in salt, the chicken
industry needs to be very upfront
about these issues, and be very
truthful,” said Mattos.
A buyer perusing the chicken
counter at a San Francisco super-
market agreed.
Muembo Muanza, 30, said he
read the label and considered the
price but never thought to check the
salt content when buying fresh
chicken.

video games or watching television.
When your child comes home from
school, incorporate playtime into the
routine. Try to include outside activities
such as sports or riding a bike. Organize
a family scavenger/treasure hunt or relay
races. Anything other than sitting down

sion will be an excellent improvement
for your child’s health.
Education:The best
way to fight obesity
Children should never be put on a
weight-loss diet. Instead, they should be
taught how to eat properly for optimal
health. A child should not feel as if they
must eat differently from the rest of the
family. I encourage families to stop
cooking several meals for dinner to sat-
isfy different family members’ likes and
vegetables and a source of protein at
each meal and vary the types of those
foods each day, you can satisfy the needs
of everyone.
Give your child the opportunity to
choose the vegetables for each dinner;
this will help increase enjoyment of eat-
ing healthy foods. The only way to find
out what foods they like is to expose
your child to new vegetables on a daily
basis. Also, children are sensitive to tex-
tures of foods. Serve vegetables to them
that are raw (crunchy), steamed (softer),
sauteed or roasted. Serve lemon wedges
for children to squeeze and high quality
sea salt for them to sprinkle on their veg-
gies.
A sample dinner meal could be baked
chicken, steamed broccoli drizzled with
lemon and olive oil and some sauteed
spinach with garlic and olive oil.
Another night, dinner could be an Asian
stir fry with salmon and Chinese vegeta-
bles sauteed in olive oil and garlic. Add
a simple baby spinach salad topped with
sliced mushrooms and slivered almonds
for added nutrients and fiber.
Free your mind,
the rest will follow
Although many experts are concerned
with the issue of a child’s weight in rela-
tion to obesity, to achieve a healthy and
balanced life the focus must not only be
on the child’s weight but also on the
child’s health — emotional, physical and
spiritual.
Family members should always use
positive words when talking to a child
about their weight. A parent should
encourage their child to see themselves
as beautiful, healthy human beings as
they work toward better health. In our
society, it is common for people to
emphasize how people look, but it’s crit-
ical for your child’s spiritual and emo-
tional health to help but these main-
stream views into perspective. Teach
children to focus on their health and
well-being rather than appearance.

scheduled to present the two alternatives
to the board Thursday, although the docu-
ments will not be made public until
Thursday morning. The Peninsula Rail
Program is the local arm of the High-
Speed Rail Authority that also answers to
Caltrain.
Burlingame Mayor Cathy Baylock will
attend the board meeting and is under the
impression the authority has opted to
build an aerial structure through her city.
“We do not want an aerial structure
dividing our community,” Baylock said.
“It is premature at this point to eliminate
the trenched option until a complete envi-
ronmental study is conducted. To dismiss
the option is not following the law.”
The city just participated in the
Peninsula Rail Program’s Context
Sensitive Solutions, in which an over-
whelming number of Burlingame resi-
dents said they preferred a trench or tunnel
over an elevated structure. CSS was
intended to allow for greater community
input on the project.
“We just went through months of this
process and within weeks they are dis-
missing our input,” Baylock said.
Baylock, Belmont Mayor Christine
Wozniak and other Peninsula mayors who
received a letter from the Bay Area
Council last week critical of their efforts.
“In the case of high-speed rail, a small
handful of individuals in a small handful
of neighborhoods in a small handful of
communities raise a seemingly endless
series of complaints and objections and
threaten to halt the construction of a proj-
ect of generational significance, and
immediate economic survival, for this
state and its residents,” council President
Jim Wunderman said in the letter.
Wunderman said the group had
“obstructionist policies” that put the proj-
ect in “grave danger.” The Bay Area
Council is a business-sponsored, public-
policy advocacy organization for the nine-
county Bay Area.
But Baylock said her job is simply to
represent the views of Burlingame’s resi-
dents.
“Our position is to continue looking at
the underground option,” Baylock said.
The authority’s new chief executive
officer, Roelof van Ark, said at a commit-
tee meeting last week that the San
Francisco to San Jose segment of the line
has been given cost estimates “only” as an
elevated or aerial structure.
The authority is seeking between $700
million and $1 billion for electrification of
the Caltrain line and the construction of a
new transit station in Millbrae in its grant
application due Aug. 6.
Authority Boardmember Quentin Kopp
made it clear yesterday, however, that the
board has yet to decide on which option to
pursue on the Peninsula and that cost esti-
mates would not be solid for whatever
option the board pursues until the fall.
“It won’t be completely tunneled and it
won’t be completely aerial,” Kopp said.
“We are still dealing with two sets of alter-
natives. We have to consider what is feasi-
ble.”
The authority will also seek separate
grants from the U.S. Department of
Transportation for track and signaling
work on the Merced to Fresno section;
track and signaling work in the
Bakersfield to Fresno section; and track
and other infrastructure on the Los
Angeles to Anaheim section.
The rail authority is planning a route
with electrified bullet trains traveling from
Los Angeles to San Francisco and has
been criticized for speedily getting the
project shovel-ready to secure more feder-
al funding. The project was awarded $2.5
billion in federal funding in May and state
voters approved a nearly $10 billion bond
in a November 2008 election to build the
project. The estimated cost is expected to
be more than $40 billion, although, critics
say that number could double.

“I want things to be completely clear
and transparent. I don’t want people to
come back and say it wasn’t clear in the
language,” said board Vice President
Stephen Rogers.
Transparency was an issue for all the
trustees who spent most of the meeting
wordsmithing ballot language in an effort
to emphasize the bond’s two main goals:
Restructuring debt and acquiring land to
build a new continuation high school.
The district’s budget has had a struc-
tural problem for years, a burden created
from an $80 million consolidation loan
that the district entered into in 2007. The
loan lowered rates for three separate
loans, called certificates of participation,
taken out to further projects that could
not be accomplished with a $137.5 mil-
lion bond measure, Measure D, passed in
2000. Currently the debt sits at $74 mil-
lion.
Trustee Bob Griffin wanted to be sure
the wording was not to eliminate debt,
since the bond would essentially restruc-
ture the debt.
Secondly, a bond could fund construc-
tion of a new home for the district’s con-
tinuation school, Peninsula High School.
Peninsula is in San Bruno’s former
Crestmoor High School, closed for many
years. Earlier this year, an advisory com-
mittee recommended the land be consid-
ered surplus — a move that could allow
a sale of the parcel — if a new home for
the continuation high school could be

given as an example. Trustees ques-
tioned whether it was necessary, but
noted the decision did not need to be
made that moment. The project wasn’t
taken off the district’s detailed list, but
it’s also not specifically listed on the
bond measure which simply gives the
option of constructing new buildings
districtwide.
Paying for the bond measure will come
from extending and increasing previous
bonds. Voters approved Measure D,
$137.5 million bond measure, in 2000. In
2006, Measure M, a $298 million bond,
was passed. Combined, the taxes cost
voters $31.79 per the $100,000 of a per-
son’s assessed property value. If passed,
the new bond measure would increase
that total tax rate to $36.79 until paid off.
Over the life of the bond of 25 or more
years, payments toward the portion pay-
ing off the newest bond would range
from $5 to $23.86.

ASSAULT
Continued from page 1
patient and a security guard was present
at the time of the assault, said the San
Mateo Medical Center’s Chief Executive
Officer Susan Ehrlich.
“The patient was quite disruptive at
the time and we are glad the staff mem-
ber is doing better,” Ehrlich said.
Staff conducted a debriefing of the
incident Wednesday morning, she said.
A security guard is now stationed in
the psychiatric unit 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, Ehrlich said, after an inci-
dent in March in which a psych patient,
Ronald Sunwo O’Brien, allegedly raped
another patient in her room.
Brickman, was also accused of groping
three nurses and exposing himself over a
few weeks in February and sexually bat-
tering a fellow patient Feb. 25.
The medical center conducted an
internal investigation, called a “Root
Cause Analysis” after the incidents and
increased staffing at the unit after the
investigation was completed.
In April, the San Mateo Police
Department expressed concerns about
security at the unit.
“We have been meeting with SMMC
staff and officials to reduce these contin-
ued calls to police with regard to assaults
by patients on staff or other patients,”
Norris said in an e-mail yesterday. “We
additionally have encouraged them to
increase their security and preventative
with San Mateo Medical Center on just
these issues.”
The medical center has added addi-
tional security at the psychiatric unit and
has also conducted intensive training for
staff to better anticipate violent events,
Ehrlich said.
All patients at the psych unit are con-
sidered “high-risk” until proven other-
wise, Ehrlich said.
“Staff and patients are safer today,”
Ehrlich said, referring to recommenda-
tions the medical center put in place
after its internal investigation following
the O’Brien incident in March.

allegedly returned with a piece of paper
on which he’d drawn a pair of lips with
a finger over them to essentially tell her
to stay quiet. The following morning, the
woman reported the alleged assault and
O’Brien wanted the woman to be his
girlfriend and said he forcibly attacked
her because she resisted him, according
to authorities.
The incident not only led to O’Brien’s
arrest but also an in-house investigation
into how it happened and a slate of rec-
ommended changes released by the hos-
pital which include adding a security
officer and nurse to the ward, further
unit are culpable and improving commu-

Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2010
In the year ahead a number of outside influences are likely to
play many critical roles in your affairs. Remarkably, most will
be good ones with their input producing many benefits.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Because you’ve finally figured out
how to overcome negative aspects and replace them with
positive ones, it should be a good day for you. You’ll be able
to accomplish all that you want to.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - There should be an encouraging
financial trend starting to take hold for you. Do what you can
to make the most of what you have at hand, and you will be
rewarded more than usual.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Some of your nobler inclinations
could turn out to be lucky ones for you. There is something
good in it for you whenever you put yourself out for the sake
of another.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Trust that your evaluations are
superior to those of your adversaries, and you’ll end up being
the dominating force. All you have to do is believe in yourself
and all that is good.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Enjoy yourself with
friends and leave all of your serious issues or problems
behind you. It’ll serve as a burst of power within you that will
carry over into your entire life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Lady Luck will do what-
ever she can to help you sort out what is troubling in your
life, and to put you on a good path. However, make sure
you’re still doing your part to try all that you can to make this
happen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - For productive results when
working with others, be a bit laid back and let them take the
lead. Your common sense and adaptability will still keep you
on the right track.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Even if others are pointing out
that somehow you got the short end of a deal, you’ll know
that you’re on the road to benefits and advantages, and you’ll
be right. Continue to follow your instincts.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Involvements with others could
be better than usual, mostly because people in general are
likely to react harmoniously with one another. It’ll be easy to
handle most things calmly and politely.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Do a bit more than that what is
expected of you and watch how much cooperation you sud-
denly get. Your efforts will be appreciated and rewarded in
ways you would never expect.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Lack Luck will show up the
minute you start putting forth some extra effort, especially
where joint endeavors are concerned. Both your undertakings
and relationships will do a lot better with her around.
Previous
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Impediments that have acted
like a monkey wrench in your affairs can now be handled Sudoku
easily. Don’t think of them as being a nuisance and they’ll
disappear. answers

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
BETTY REYNOLDS JOHNSON
Case Number 120203
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Betty Reynolds John-
son. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by: Arlene DeWees in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Arlene
DeWees be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 26, 2010 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court

Iraq: Car bomb kills 15 south of Baghdad

By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — A car bomb ripped through
an outdoor market Tuesday in a mainly
Shiite city southeast of Baghdad in the dead-
liest of a series of attacks that killed at least
23 people nationwide, officials said.
The blast in Kut, 100 miles (160 kilome-
ters) southeast of Baghdad, targeted a popu-
lar outdoor market that sells food and clothes
at about 5.30 p.m., killing at least 15 people
and wounding 60, according to police and
health officials.
The attack came hours after suspected al-
Qaida militants killed five Iraqi soldiers at a
western Baghdad checkpoint, planting the
terror group’s black banner before fleeing. It
was the second time in less than a week that
al-Qaida’s flag has appeared at the scene of
an attack.
The uptick in violence has raised concerns
that insurgents are successfully taking
advantage of the enduring political vacuum
nearly five months after Iraq’s parliamentary
elections failed to produce a clear winner.
Politicians are still bickering over the forma-
tion of a new government, with the main hur-
dle being who should become the next prime
minister.
The gunmen arrived in three cars and used
pistols fitted with silencers in the assault in
the mainly Sunni Mansour district, police
and hospital officials said. The assailants,
according to the officials, then planted the al-
Qaida banner on a pole next to the check-
point.
An Interior Ministry official familiar with
the incident said five gunmen first shot dead
two soldiers who were on duty, then moved
to a nearby spot where three soldiers were
sleeping and shot them dead at close range.
The officials all spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to speak to the media.
He said the attack took place at 5 a.m.

after the attack saw scattered bed sheets and REUTERS

CASE
Continued from page 1
Sadek was charged with lewd and lascivious
acts on a child under 14, cruelty to a child,
domestic violence and poisoning. In February,
prosecutors dismissed all the charges just
before trial because the toxicology results on
his estranged wife’s hair were found faulty.
Although the validity of the alleged poison-
ing was thrown into question, Kelli Reid of
CVU said that is separate than the case involv-
ing the minor and it should be able to go for-
ward.
Not doing so violates the state Constitution
sections created in 2008 by Marsy’s Law,
which aims to give victims rights, according
to CVU.
CVU specifically argues Sadek’s child was
denied the right to a speedy trial because pros-
ecutor Melissa McKowan sought several
delays, the victims weren’t given reasonable
notice about the case’s resolution, the victims
weren’t given the right to be heard at court
proceedings and weren’t informed of their
rights.
McKowan could not be reached for com-
ment but Chief Deputy District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said she would clearly
contradict the claims and was in constant
Protest planned
On Monday, the group and victims’ advo-
cate Marc Klaas will gather at the Redwood
City court branch to formally announce the
claim and demand that the District Attorney’s
Office re-open the molestation component of
the case.
Felonies can be refiled once with some
minor exceptions, said Assistant District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
“The question is would we without more
evidence,” she said.
The other question is if the molestation
charges can stand on their own.
“That was obviously something we dis-
cussed when we decided to dismiss it,”
Guidotti said.
Prosecutors were ready to tell a jury Sadek
gave his estranged wife gammahydroxybu-
trate, commonly referred to as the date-rape
drug GHB, so that he could molest their child
while she was passed out.
But in February, as McKowan tried estab-
lishing a chain of custody for evidence, she
discovered previously undisclosed tests by an
East Bay forensics analysis that tested nega-
tive for GHB. When she sought backup docu-
mentation from the Dr. Ernest D. Lykissa, the
Houston-based forensic toxicologist who
found it present, he reportedly couldn’t show
how he reached results showing levels two to
Questionable testing
Further digging showed that the civil attor-
ney handling the divorce for Sadek’s wife had
her hair tested by Celia Hartnett of East Bay-
based Forensic Analytic Specialties. The qual-
itative test proved negative but the hair was
sent to Lykissa who returned a finding of the
large levels, according to both prosecutors and
Sadek’s defense attorney Geoff Carr.
The discrepancy led to the case’s dismissal
and an investigation by the District Attorney’s
Office into the civil attorney and Lykissa.
What they did “may have been less than open
but it was nothing criminal,” Wagstaffe said.
At the time of the dismissal, Wagstaffe said
it didn’t necessarily mean Sadek was innocent
but that there was no concrete proof she was
ever drugged, he said.

Carr is on vacation and unavailable for com-
ment but had previously praised the District
Attorney’s Office for disclosing the new infor-
mation and dismissing the case.
But what he saw as justice, CVU sees as
injustice.
In a written statement, CVU President
Harriet Salarno also cited a Daily Journal arti-
children are at greater risk because specialized
sex offender units have been disbanded
because of funding.
“But the truth is that only 10 percent of chil-
dren are abused by strangers — the greatest
risk is from people they know and trust, as is
what happened in this case. Yet in San Mateo
County, it appears children are not being pro-
tected from predators either inside or outside
their homes. It’s unconscionable and the DA
should be ashamed,” Salarno said.
The state Attorney General’s Office or San
Mateo County Superior Court can review the
prosecution decision under the victims bill of
rights but is not obligated to do so. The
District Attorney’s Office also has a final say
in deciding to re-file, Wagstaffe said.
“If there is new evidence, we will certainly
consider it. But take away the poisoning part
and the only thing left is word against word
and an inconsistent word at that,” Wagstaffe
said.
Guidotti said the office has been served with
a motion to reinstate the case.
Meanwhile, Sadek’s defense is reportedly
readying a request to ask the court to declare
him factually innocent and seal the case.

Deadly flooding spreads
to Pakistan’s heartland
By Khalid Tanver
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KOT ADDU, Pakistan — Floodwaters surged into
Pakistan’s heartland and swallowed dozens of villages
Tuesday, adding to a week of destruction that has already rav-
aged the mountainous northwest and killed 1,500 people.
The rush of muddy water over river banks in Punjab threat-
ened to destroy vast stretches of crops that make the province
Pakistan’s breadbasket, prompting the U.N. to warn that an
estimated 1.8 million people will need to be fed in the com-
ing weeks.
Adding to the misery, fresh rains in the northwest threat-
ened to overwhelm a major dam and unleash a new deluge,
while rescue workers struggled to deliver aid to some 3.2 mil-
lion people affected by the floods despite washed-out bridges
and roads and downed communication lines.
The government has struggled to cope with the scale of the
disaster at a time when it is grappling with a faltering econo-
my and a brutal war against the Taliban.
Several foreign countries and aid organizations have
stepped in to support the government, including the United
States, which announced Tuesday that it was sending six
large military helicopters from Afghanistan to help with the
relief effort.

Lebanon,Israel clash near border
By Bassem Mroue and Zenia Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ADEISSEH, Lebanon — Lebanese and
Israeli troops exchanged fire Tuesday in a
fierce border battle that killed a senior
Israeli officer, two Lebanese soldiers and
a journalist — underlining how easily
tensions can re-ignite along the frontier
where Israel and Hezbollah fought a war
four years ago.
It was the worst fighting since 2006 in
the area, where Israeli and Lebanese sol-
diers patrol within shouting distance of
each other, separated by the U.N.-drawn
Blue Line boundary.
The fighting flared into Israeli tank,
helicopter and artillery strikes near this
Lebanese town, but ended after several
hours and there was no sign that either
side was preparing to escalate.
The Shiite guerrilla force Hezbollah
said it offered to help the Lebanese army
but in the end did not get involved. “We
told our brothers, control yourselves and
don’t do anything,” Hezbollah leader
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah in a televised
speech.
But, he warned, his fighters would
intervene if Israeli troops ever attack
Lebanese forces again. “Any Israeli arm
extended against the Lebanese military
will be cut off by the resistance,” said
Nasrallah, whose arsenal is far more
powerful than the Lebanese army’s.
Tuesday’s violence stoked fears that
have been brewing for months on both
sides that a new conflict could come soon.
The U.N. Security Council urged
“utmost restraint.” U.S. State Department
spokesman P.J. Crowley said, “The last
thing that we want to see is this incident
expand into something more significant.”
Both the U.S. and the U.N. said they were
working to determine the exact circum-
stances of the fight.
Tuesday’s clashes began after an Israeli
soldier tried to remove a tree along the
border, something the military has done
in the past to improve its sightlines into
Lebanon.
But both sides claimed the tree was in
their territory. An Associated Press photo

reaching over the fence that Israel erected
to separate the two countries. The fence,
however, does not match the Blue Line in
all places, and the Israeli military said in
a statement that the tree was in Israeli ter-
ritory.
“It was over the fence but still within
Israeli territory,” the military
spokesman’s office said. He said the tree
cutting was coordinated with the U.N.
peacekeeping force in south Lebanon,
UNIFIL.
The Lebanese military said the Israelis
crossed onto Lebanese soil despite calls
from the U.N. and Lebanon to stop. When
the Israelis persisted, Lebanese troops
opened fire with small arms and rocket-
propelled grenades, it said in a statement.
The Israeli forces responded with
“machine guns and tank shells, targeting
Lebanese army positions and civilian
homes in the area,” the Lebanese military
said. It said two soldiers were killed and a
third seriously wounded.
Ronith Daher, 32, a Lebanese journalist
who was at the scene, said she saw a
UNIFIL peacekeeper ask Israel not to
allow the Israeli soldier to cross the fence
and warned them the Lebanese troops
would open fire. A number of journalists
THE DAILY JOURNAL
REUTERS
had gathered at the site after getting word
UNIFIL was trying to resolve the situa-
tion.
Israel, however, accused Lebanon of
provoking the fight. The Israeli military’s
northern commander, Maj. Gen. Gadi
Eizenkot, said that while soldiers were
removing bushes by the fence, Lebanese
military snipers shot two officers who
were more than 300 meters (yards) away.
A lieutenant colonel was killed and a
captain was critically wounded, the
Israeli military said.
Israel responded with infantry, tanks
and artillery fire and later hit a Lebanese
army base and command center with hel-
icopter and artillery fire, Eizenkot said.
“These are the first casualties in the
past four years (in the border area). We
view this very seriously and that is why
we responded so severely,” he told
reporters.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak
also demanded that Lebanon and UNIFIL
investigate the “murderous attack.” Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that
Israel “will respond to any disturbance of
the peace on the border and (attempts) to
harm civilians and the soldiers protecting
them.”
