Lights out on football plans?

Residents sue over Menlo-Atherton’s hopes for night games
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Dreams of playing under lights on
Friday nights at Menlo-Atherton
could take longer to become a reali-
ty — if it ever becomes one —
after neighbors filed a lawsuit seek-
ing to stop installation citing it as a
public nuisance that could increase
negative behavior in the area.
When the Bears host a home
game, it traditionally takes place
during the afternoon since M-A
does not have lights on the football
field. That changed last season
when parents rented lights for a
game. Despite a home team loss,
attendance was high which led par-
ents and citizens to approach
Sequoia Union High School District
officials to consider adding lights
permanently to Coach Park Fields.
Rather than permanent, the district
opted for a temporary plan to give
the lights a trial run this fall.
Neighbors — banded together
under the moniker Protect
Atherton’s Residential Character —
filed a suit against the district
Wednesday to stop the light project
completely.
“They’re just not good neigh-
bors,” Mel Britton, a PARC member
and neighbor to the school, said
about the district.
Installing lights — albeit with the
plan to use them for a limited num-
ber of games — will create a slip-
pery slope of increased requests for
use during practices, other sports or
rental purposes ultimately creating a
large, unwanted impact on the
neighbors, according to the lawsuit
filed with the San Mateo County
Superior Court Aug. 11.
“The district has complied with
all laws and regulations related to
the installation of lights at Menlo-
Atherton High, and we are confident
that the court will allow us to con-
tinue serving the best interests of
our students and the community,”

Answer: What the pudgy diner did at the end of the researchers say, but the type of sexual
buffet line — GAINED “WAIT” relationship they’re engaged in. Teens in
serious relationships may find social and
emotional support in their sex partners,
reducing their anxiety and stress levels in
life and in school.
“This should give some comfort to
parents who may be concerned that their
teenage son or daughter is dating,” said
sociologist Peggy Giordano of Bowling
Last year, nearly half of high school
students reported having sexual inter-
course, and 14 percent have had four or
more partners, according to a federal sur-
vey released this summer.
For the study, University of California,
Davis sociologist Bill McCarthy and
University of Minnesota sociologist Eric
Grodsky analyzed surveys and school
transcripts from the largest national fol-
low-up study of teens that began during
the 1994-95 academic year. The
researchers said not much has changed in
terms of when teens first have sex or atti-
tudes toward teen sex in the past decade.
The duo examined how teens’ sexual
behaviors affected their learning and
controlled for factors that might influ-
ence their results.
Among the findings:
• Teens in serious relationships did not
differ from their abstinent counterparts in
terms of their grade-point average, how
attached they are to school or college
expectations. They were also not more
likely to have problems in school, be sus-
pended or absent.
• Compared with virgins, teens who
were 0.16 points lower than abstinent
teens. Male teens who have casual sex
had GPAs that were 0.30 points lower
than those who do not have sex. Teens
who hook up also were at greater risk of
being suspended or expelled and had
lower odds of expecting to go to college.
• Teens who have sex — whether it’s
a serious or casual relationship — were
at higher risk of being truant and drop-
ping out compared with teens who don’t
have sex. The researchers said the
dropout results should be interpreted
with caution because the numbers were
small.
“Having sex outside of a romantic
relationship may exacerbate the stress
youths experience, contributing to prob-
lems in school,” Grodsky said.
In a statement, the Family Research
Council said the study confirms what the
group has long advocated about the neg-
ative consequences of casual sex.
But the council said it “would not
interpret less severe educational impacts
on students involved in ‘committed’ sex-
ual relationships as a green light for com-
prehensive” sex education.

The Arguellos and Rancho de las Pulgas
I
n 1769, Gaspar de Portola and his expe-
dition that started in Baja California
began trekking up the California coast in
search of the bay of Monterey.
About half-way up the coast, to the north-
west of what is now Los Angeles, they came
upon a beautiful stretch of land that had a
great number of prosperous Indians living in a
peaceful state. De Portola was impressed by
this area, but continued north toward his goal
of finding Monterey.
In 1781, the Spanish government decided to
settle the area (Santa Barbara) that Portola
reported to be an excellent site for a presidio
or mission, and the Rivera and Moncada
Expedition was formed to go by land from
northern Mexico west across the Colorado
Desert, enter California and develop a pre-
sidio at the Santa Barbara site.
On this expedition was a young soldier,
Jose Dario Arguello. Jose Dario was born in
1753 in New Spain and became a soldier at
the age of 20 (1773). He joined a regiment of
the Spanish dragoons (cavalry men) as a pri-
vate, but due to his leadership ability rose
steadily to become a sergeant and then alferez
(a second lieutenant) in 1781. Before leaving
northern Mexico, he married Ignacia Moraga.
LOCAL
His wife gave birth to a baby at the Mission
San Gabriel and he served at Santa Barbara
after she recovered from the birth. A popular
man, a strict disciplinarian and a good
accountant, Jose Dario possessed attributes
the government needed and he was sought
after for duties other soldiers were not asked
to do.
He was assigned to the Presidio in San
Francisco as commandant. In 1787, he was
transferred to Monterey. He returned to the
San Francisco Presidio in 1796 and remained
there for 10 years. During this time, his fami-
ly was enlarged by five sons and eight daugh-
ters. His daughter Conception is one of the
better remembered children as there were
many books written that included her tragic
romance with a Russian soldier.
In 1814, Jose Dario was named the interim
governor of California and in 1822 he was
named governor of Baja California. The tradi-
tion in the Spanish form of government was to
reward its best soldiers with land grants, and
Governor Diego Boric made two land grants
in 1795 to Jose Dario Arguello. One of the
land grants was named El Pilar and was on the
San Mateo coast. The other land grant was
called Los Cochinitos. The Los Cochinitos
grant was later renamed Rancho de las Pulgas.
It covered the area from San Mateo Creek
south to San Francisquito Creek (Palo Alto)
and from the Bay to the hills in the west. The
Arguello family never confirmed ownership
of the El Pilar Rancho.
Luis Antonio Arguello was born at the San
Francisco Presidio and baptized on June 22,
1784 at Mission Dolores. He grew up sur-
rounded by a military environment becoming

a cadet at age 15. After an engagement that
lasted from 1800 to 1807, he married Rafaela
Sal in 1807. Unfortunately, she died in 1814.
Monday • Aug. 16, 2010 3
In 1822, Luis married Maria Soledad Ortega,
who lived on Rancho Refugio near Santa
Barbara.
The wedding was a grand affair and a fiesta
at the rancho lasted a number days. Luis was
appointed as the first governor of California
under Mexican rule in 1822 and remained
governor until 1825. During this time he tried
to make a number of changes that would
ensure money for the treasury to run
California. In the process, however, he made
enemies that eventually resulted in his being
replaced as governor. Luis died March 27,
1830, at the age of 46. Maria Soledad, his
widow, returned to live on the Rancho de las
Pulgas where it is recorded that she had 4000
cattle and 2000 horses in 1838.
In the late 1840s, the turmoil of the 49er
gold rush to California led to statehood and
the Spanish/Mexican citizens had to prove to
the land commission that they were the legal
owners to retain their property rights. In June
1852, Soledad tried to confirm 12 leagues of
property for the Arguello family. The family
ended up with 35,240 acres of property (four
square leagues), of which 50 percent was con-
firmed for Soledad, 25 percent was for son
Jose Ramon, 10 percent went to son Luis
Antonio, and 15 percent went to their lawyer
Simon Mezes.
In 1859, Maria Soledad sold her land in the
rancho and moved to Santa Clara where many
members of her family lived.

of Art. Gelb was exposed to theater early on, vividly recalling
watching shows featuring Jerry Orbach or John Rubinstein.
In high school, Gelb was lucky enough to attend a school
that supported theater.
“It was a calling; it became a calling in my junior year. We
had a really great theater department,” she said.
When it came to college, Gelb knew she wanted to go for a
fine arts degree at Boston University. While the program was
a dream come true, becoming a professional is a challenge for
all. Gelb went back to New York after school and traveled as
work could be found. Less than a year after college, Gelb got
her union card and took a part in a friend’s play to be per-
formed at the Cincinnati playhouse.
Then it was slow moving. Gelb, like most actors, took
“work” doing free performances for experience and network-
ing. She felt like the big break came in ’83 when she scored a
gig as an assistant stage manager and understudy. She was on
stage with Bill Macy and Julie Hagerty.
“I remember getting that and thinking it was a big deal. An
actress was fired right away and I got the part. I just thought,
‘This is fantastic. This is great.’ That was a big deal,” Gelb
said.
An interesting experience for Gelb came after doing a cou-
ple of shows at the Theatre of Louisville. The theater had part-
nered with the United States Information Agency for a cultur-
al exchange in which some of the actors would travel to
Warsaw, Poland and perform at the Palace of Culture and
Science. She was one of about six who traveled in 1988 to
perform a two-character play. The performance was done in
English. Locals were hired to translate during the perform-
ance. One of the interpreters, Jacek, would soon play a big
part in her life.

Along the way, Gelb was called to audition for an upcom-

She knew she hadn’t gotten it. Late last year, a call came ask-

It was the right time for Gelb. Her daughter was doing a bit

U.N.chief: Never seen anything like Pakistan floods

By Chris Brummitt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
said Sunday he has never seen any-
thing like the flood disaster in
Pakistan after surveying the devas-
tation and urged foreign donors to
speed up assistance to the 20 mil-
lion people affected.
Ban’s comments reflect the con-
cern of the international community
about the unfolding disaster in
Pakistan, which is battling al-Qaida
and Taliban militants, has a weak
and unpopular government, and an
anemic economy propped up by
international assistance.
“This has been a heart-wrenching
day for me,” Ban said after flying
over the hard-hit areas with
President Asif Ali Zardari. “I will
never forget the destruction and suf-
fering I have witnessed today. In the
past I have witnessed many natural
disasters around the world, but
nothing like this.”
Ban visited Myanmar after
Cyclone Nargis devastated the
country in May 2008, killing an
estimated 138,000 people. He also
flew to China’s Sichuan province
just days after an earthquake killed
nearly 90,000 people in March
2008.
The floods that began more than
two weeks ago in Pakistan’s moun-
tainous northwest have now hit
about one-quarter of the country,
especially its agricultural heart-
land. While the death toll of 1,500
is relatively small, the scale of the

The world body has appealed for
an initial $460 million to provide
relief, but only 20 percent has been
given.
Once the floods recede, billions
more will be needed for reconstruc-
tion and getting people back to
work in the already-poor nation of
170 million people.
The International Monetary Fund
has warned the floods could dent
economic growth and fuel
inflation.
“Waves of flood must be met with
waves of support from the world,”
said Ban. “I’m here to urge the
world to step up assistance,” he
said.
President Zardari has been criti-
cized for his response to the disas-
ter, especially for going ahead with
a state visit to Europe just as the cri-
sis was unfolding.

Israel:No conditions for

talks with Palestinians
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israel will not accept condi-

tions for resuming direct negotiations with the Palestinians,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top Cabinet ministers
affirmed in a meeting late Sunday, reflecting a hard line just as
invitations to the talks appeared to be near.
The Palestinians want the framework and agenda of negoti-
ations worked out ahead of time.
Under an emerging compromise, the so-called Quartet of
Mideast mediators — the United States, the United Nations,
the European Union and Russia — was expected to issue an
invitation for direct talks that would list underlying principles
and a time frame.
However, Netanyahu and his inner circle fear that a Quartet
statement would be a “fig leaf for Palestinian preconditions,”
said an official in Netanyahu’s office who spoke on condition
of anonymity because no government statement was made.

Pilgrims evacuated after

bomb threat at Lourdes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — Thousands of people, many disabled or ailing,

were evacuated Sunday from the shrine at Lourdes in southern
France after a bomb threat on the Catholic holy day of
Assumption. The pilgrims returned after explosives experts
scoured the area.
Some 30,000 pilgrims were at the site, whose spring water is
reputed to have healing powers, when Lourdes police received
an anonymous threat late in the morning saying bombs would
hit the site Sunday afternoon, said the shrine’s chief
spokesman Pierre Adias.
In an announcement read in six languages, authorities
ordered everyone evacuated just as a midday Mass was sup-
posed to begin.
About 900 gravely ill pilgrims, including many on stretch-
ers, were taken to a secure place while explosives experts with
sniffer dogs fanned out around the shrine, Lourdes Mayor
Jean-Pierre Artiganave said on France-Info radio.

Lockerbie families raising
new questions over bomber
LONDON — The regrets of a cancer expert who assessed
the only man ever convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie jetliner
bombing have intensified the anger felt by victims’ relatives
over Scotland’s decision to release the Libyan on compassion-
ate grounds.
Professor Karol Sikora and other experts had said Abdel
Baset al-Megrahi probably had only three months to live when
he was freed from a Scottish jail last August and allowed to
return home to Libya. But one year later, Al-Megrahi, who is
being treated for prostate cancer, is still alive.

Poisonous smog returns to Moscow

MOSCOW — The poisonous smog that contributed to a

Why are we in Afghanistan?
T
he United States went to
Afghanistan nine years
ago to find and kill Osama
bin Laden following the massacre
of 9/11. But President George
Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney
and Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld were smart enough to
know we couldn’t win a war there.
So they turned instead to Iraq to
vent our rage. Iraq was certainly an
easier target than remote and
mountainous Afghanistan, but
things didn’t turn out as expected.
So here we are in 2010. We are
trying to extricate ourselves from
Iraq but Afghanistan remains an
insurmountable problem. President
Obama said during the campaign
that we were fighting the wrong
war in Iraq. We needed to shift our
attention to Afghanistan. But the
reason we are in Afghanistan is
because neighboring Pakistan has
nuclear weapons.
Pakistan at one time was a
“staunch” American ally. Staunch
became of the billions of dollars in
military and economic aid we sup-
plied. However, at the same time
Pakistan was receiving U.S.
weapons and other goodies, the
country was developing a nuclear
bomb to keep up with its neighbor
and rival India. Its leading scientist
sold the recipe for making nuclear
weapons to Iran. When Colonel
Musharraf was in control of the
Pakistan government and its armed
forces, the United States was fairly
confident that the bombs were
under lock and key. But Musharraf
was forced out, the next president
Benazir Bhutto was assassinated,
and her husband is now supposed-
ly in charge. But he is weak and
unpopular. Especially since he was
dining royally in Britain and
France while his countrymen were
being wiped out by one of the
country’s most devastating floods.
What’s worse, Pakistan’s military
The Miracle of Isabelle
“I
n every child who is
born, under no matter
what circumstances, and
of no matter what parents, the
potentiality of the human race is
born again.” — James Agee.
Have you recently enjoyed the
company of an uninhibited 1-year-
old? She doesn’t hesitate to let you
(and the world) know when she is
unhappy or full of joy. Her squeals
of delight and howls of protest
leave no question as to how she
feels. Life, to this precious little
bundle of energy, is one great,
thrilling adventure and she is sure
that the whole world revolves
around her. You can’t help but
admire and envy her openness.
We recently attended our
youngest grandchild Isabelle’s first
birthday party. Watching her navi-
gate the floor (she isn’t walking
yet) from one person to another
and one interesting object to
manipulate and mouth, and to be
rescued from places and things
that were dangerous (for her or the
objects) brought back many mem-
ories. It made me think of the
potential of this little child and all
other little children, and how what
happens to them during their early
years will have a lot to do with
whether they grow up with self
respect and self confidence or if
they will spend their lives trying to
compensate for never really feeling
good about themselves.

is conspiring with the Taliban and
Al-Qaida. The vulnerability of
Pakistan’s nuclear weapons is a
convincing reason why we need to
be nearby to make sure they don’t
fall into the hands of Islamic radi-
cals.
***
In my lay opinion, the current
American strategy is not going to
work. The goal is to win the hearts
and minds of enough Afghans so
they can take over from the
Taliban, govern their country and
we can leave.
Here’s why it won’t work.
Afghanistan is not your traditional
country. It is made up of feuding
tribes. Most of the inhabitants are
illiterate. Most of its officials, from
Hamid Karzai at top to the local
police below, are corrupt. And
despite a few here and there —
notably where Greg Mortenson
and his colleagues have built
schools — the people don’t like or
trust us.
***
Here are some suggestions
which no one will take seriously
but probably have more chance of
success than winning hearts and
minds.
1). Take all the women out of
Afghanistan. Set up an Afghan
government in exile with the
women in charge. Train them, edu-
cate them. Back home the men
will go crazy with no one to kick
around any more and the popula-
tion will shrink.
2). Since poppies (heroin) are
the main income of Afghan farm-
ers and hence, the Taliban, and
since the market for heroin is high-
becomes more civilized, she will
learn to modify her outbursts. She
will find that pleasing others has
its advantages and that the world
isn’t her oyster all of the time. If
she is to be a fully functioning
adult, she must be encouraged to
pay attention to, value and express
her feelings in a constructive way
but not suppress them.
Isabelle is lucky. She is sur-
rounded by people who have her
best interest at heart. But too often,
a child’s natural, innocent behavior
is squelched by ignorant and/or
incompetent parents. Sometimes,
as a child grows and begins to
assert his independence, parents
become threatened by the child’s
uninhibited expressions of feel-
ings. The more insecure the parent,
the more he feels he must make
the child conform to his ideal of
what his child should be. The tod-
dler’s NO and his cries of protest
are too often met with impatience
and anger and are too little under-
stood as normal steps in his devel-
opment.
Such a child will grow up
(unless the parents quickly learn to
allow the natural child to unfold),
thinking he is not all right. He will
learn that in order to be loved he
must conform to other people’s
expectations, that expressing feel-
ings is bad, that he is not worthy
of respect and that life is grim. He
may attempt to fill the void left by
feeling unacceptable with anti-
OPINION
est in the United States, make it a
capital offense to sell or use it.
3). Instead of sending our troops
and billions of dollars in military
and economic assistance to
Pakistan and Afghanistan, let’s
learn a few lessons from them.
“We pay Pakistan to help us in
Afghanistan even though we know
some of that money is killing our
own soldiers because we fear that
just leaving could lead to
Pakistan’s Islamists controlling its
bomb.” — Tom Friedman, recent
New York Times column. Let’s pay
the Afghans to help us in Pakistan.
4). Instead of sending troops,
train a very large cadre of spies
who speak the native language,
understand the culture and can
infiltrate.
5). Trade places with China.
China seeks out mining contracts
in Afghanistan and lets America
make Afghanistan safe for Chinese
companies.
6). Pakistan is more worried
about India than Al-Qaida or the
Taliban. Let’s use the threat of
sending more aid, both economic
and military to India, to force
Pakistan to stop playing us for the
sucker.
7). Better yet, privatize Kashmir,
which has long been the thorn in
Indian Pakistani relations. Take
Kashmir out of contention. Have
Disney or Club Med take over. It is
one of the most beautiful spots on
earth and turn it into a major
tourist attraction. Split the pro-
ceeds between India and Pakistan
with this caveat. Funds are con-
trolled by an independent founda-
tion to build and operate schools in
social behavior and/or turn to sub-
stance abuse or some other form of
self destruction.
Other parents who suppress their
child’s natural expression of feel-
ings are those who orchestrate or
over-program the child’s life to
make the parent look good or use
the child as a way of stroking their
own egos. Add the type of parents
who never say “no” and allow
their child to manipulate them and
run the household according to her
whims. Overindulgence can kill a
child’s natural spirit just like over-
control can. This can happen
because the parents are too busy,
too lazy, too lacking in self respect
themselves, or ignorant of a child’s
need for guidance and loving dis-
cipline.
The saddest situation of all —
children who are born to people
who didn’t want them and so
abuse them and neglect them. Our
streets, courts and jails are full of
the results of such disasters. In a
society in which children are so
often forced into too much too
soon, in which they are too often
exploited and treated like a neces-
sary nuisance instead of innocent,
loving and budding human beings,
it is not surprising that so many
are so troubled.
As my favorite child advocate,
Eda LeShan, once wrote, “Young
children need desperately to know
that they are normal and lovable.

Business brief
Apple manager indicted on kickback charges
CUPERTINO — A manager at Apple Inc. has been indict-
ed by a federal grand jury in an alleged kickback scheme
involving suppliers of iPhone and iPod accessories.
Authorities say Paul Shin Devine of Sunnyvale was arrest-
ed on Friday on charges of wire fraud, money laundering and
kickbacks. The indictment had been filed under seal
Wednesday. Devine, 37, is accused of accepting more than
$1 million in exchange for providing confidential informa-
tion to Apple suppliers in Asia. The suppliers allegedly used
the information to negotiate favorable contracts with Apple,
which is based in Cupertino.
Tough time for stocks
By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Get used to a difficult
stock market.
It’s nearly four months since stocks
reached their 2010 highs and began
falling on investors’ doubts about the
economic recovery. Some analysts say it
could be another year before investors
get up enough confidence to restart the
rally.
The economy isn’t helping them. Last
week, the Federal Reserve and two
mass-market retailers, JCPenney Co.
and Kohl’s Corp., lowered their outlooks
for the rest of the year. The CEO of net-
working equipment maker Cisco
Systems Inc. used the same words as
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to describe
the economy: unusually uncertain.
The Fed also said last week it would
start buying government debt in hopes of
stimulating lending and in turn econom-
ic growth, though investors proved skep-
tical. The Dow Jones lost almost 400
points over four days.
But investors aren’t even resolute
about selling. Stocks have racheted up
and down since late April. The market
began August with a burst of optimism
based on many companies’ overall
upbeat view of the rest of the year. The
Dow rose 208 points Aug. 2, the first
trading day of the month.
Subodh Kumar, global investment
strategist at Subodh Kumar & Assoc. in
Toronto, noted that the Standard &
Poor’s 500 index has moved within a
range of about 1,020 and 1,217 this year.
“That broad range will hold until the
middle of 2011,” he said. The index
closed Friday at 1,079.25.
A similar but shorter-term prediction
came from Steven Goldman, chief mar-
ket strategist at Weeden & Co. in
Greenwich, Conn. “It looks like it will
be this way for the rest of the year,” he
said.
You don’t have to be a market pro to
understand why. Private employers
aren’t hiring at a pace that will get mil-
lions of unemployed people back to
work. The government put the number
of unemployed in July at 14.6 million.
Meanwhile, many working people aren’t
making enough to pay all of their bills.
And then there are those with jobs who
are nervous and socking money away.
This all adds up to weak consumer
spending that can’t give the recovery
much momentum.
And there are still the fundamental
problems of a troubled housing market
and banks that aren’t willing to lend.
Even with the Fed stepping in, those
issues are likely to remain for some
time.
One sign that investors aren’t expect-
ing the economy to pick up speed any-
time soon is the poor performance of
small-cap stocks.
When investors believe the economy
is about to go on an upswing, they tend
to start buying smaller company stocks
on the theory that those companies will
see the biggest gains when business is
good.
The Russell 2000 index, which tracks
the performance of small-caps, is down
almost 18 percent from its 2010 high
close of 741.92, reached April 23.
The Dow, meanwhile, is down 8 per-
cent from its 2010 high close of
11,205.03, reached April 26. And the
S&P 500 is down 11.3 percent from its
high of 1,217.28, reached April 23.

State schools to get $1.2B from federal jobs bill

By Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The state aid
bill President Obama signed last week is
expected to provide $1.2 billion to help
California’s cash-strapped schools, but
uncertainty over the state budget could
delay plans to rehire laid-off teachers or
restore school days.
The emergency legislation provides
$10 billion to states to save or create
estimated 160,000 education jobs,
including up to 16,500 in California.
The Obama administration plans to
begin distributing the education money
to states later this month and wants
school districts to use the money to
retain and rehire teachers for the 2010-
2011 academic year, which has already
begun in some districts.
But California lawmakers and Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger still haven’t
reached agreement on a state budget for
the fiscal year that began July 1, and
there is no deal in sight, creating finan-
cial uncertainty among school districts.
“Districts are going to be reluctant to
make any solid decisions about this money
until they have solid information about
what the state budget will contain,” said
Rick Pratt, assistant executive director of
the California School Boards Association.
The jobs bill is designed to prevent wide-
spread layoffs of teachers and other public
employees, but critics call it an election-
year giveaway to public employee unions
that are longtime Democratic supporters.
California submitted its application for
its share of the $10 billion education fund
on Friday, and is expected to receive the
money within the next two weeks.
School districts have until September
2012 to spend the federal money, but the
Obama administration is encouraging
them to use the funds during the current
school year, said Sandra Abrevaya, a
spokeswoman for the U.S. Department
of Education.
The money can be used to hire, rehire
or retain teachers, counselors, librarians,
nurses, administrators and other school
employees, as well as restore pay cuts
and furlough days.
California education officials say the
federal money will help blunt the deep
budget cuts to education that have led to
teacher layoffs, larger class sizes, short-
ened school years, and cuts to summer
school and other academic programs.

Judge’s ruling
uproots use of
biotech beets
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has revoked the gov-

ernment’s approval of genetically altered sugar beets until reg-
ulators complete a more thorough review of how the scientifi-
cally engineered crops affect other food.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White Friday
means sugar beet growers won’t be able to use the modified
seeds after harvesting the biotechnology beets already planted
on more than 1 million acres spanning 10 states from Michigan
to Oregon. All the seed comes from Oregon’s Willamette
Valley.
Additional planting won’t be allowed until the U.S.
Department of Agriculture submits an environmental impact
statement. That sort of extensive examination can take two or
three years.
White declined a request to issue an injunction that would
have imposed a permanent ban on the biotech beets, which
Monsanto Co. developed to resist its popular weed killer,
Roundup. Farmers have embraced the technology as a way to
lower their costs on labor, fuel and equipment.
The Center for Food Safety, Organic Seed Alliance and
Sierra Club have been trying to uproot the biotech beets since
filing a 2008 lawsuit.
Andrew Kimbrell, the Center for Food Safety’s executive
director, hailed Friday’s decision as a major victory in the fight
against genetically engineered crops and chided the
Agriculture Department for approving the genetically engi-
neered seeds without a full environmental review.

Quakes back on the winning track

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Nothing like a win to makes
things all better.
Coming into Saturday’s game
against the Kansas City Wizards,
the San Jose Earthquakes were reel-
ing — winners of only one of their
past seven games, the Quakes were
bruised mentally, battered physical-
ly and seemingly put together by
duct tape due to injury.
Injuries to the likes of Ramiro
Corrales, Chris Leitch, Steven
Beltashour and Ike Oparra forced
head coach Frank Yallop to put
together a starting-11 that featured
newcomers Tim Ward and Khari
Stephenson and move players like
Bobby Convey from their conven-
tional positions to spots were the
team was in need.
But if there’s one thing San Jose
has shown this season is that Yallop
can prepare his team to play
defense, especially at home. And
that’s what it took Saturday night —
an exceptional defensive perform-
ance, highlighted by the play of
goalkeeper Joe Cannon, and a time-
ly goal by Chris Wondolowski pro-
pelled San Jose to a huge 1-0 win
over the visiting Wiz.
“I’m very happy for our guys,”
Yallop said. “I’m very pleased with
the three points. And it puts us right
back in the (playoff) picture and
that’s all we needed to see.”
It was a game the Quakes needed
to win, coming off a heart-breaking
loss to the Colorado Rapids the
week before in which an own-goal
did them in.
San Jose came out like they knew
that. Offensively in the first half, the
Earthquakes created a handful of
chances throughout — by the 30th
minute, Cornell Glen alone had
three clear goal-scoring opportuni-
ties but failed on all of them.
But Wondolowski came to the
rescue in the 35th minute, one-tim-

Kaymer wins PGA

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Martin Kaymer
won the PGA Championship in a three-hole
playoff Sunday that did not include Dustin
Johnson, who was penalized two strokes for
grounding his club in a bunker on the last
hole.
Kaymer captured his first major in a PGA
Championship that might be remembered as
much for a guy who tied for fifth.
Johnson had a one-shot lead playing the
final hole at Whistling Straits when he drove
into a tiny patch of sand where the gallery had
been walking all week. Johnson grounded his
club, unaware he was in a bunker. The gallery
was packed in so tight that to Johnson, it
looked like a piece of grass that had been
trampled.
“Walking up there, seeing the shot, it never
once crossed my mind that I was in a sand
trap,” Johnson said. “It very unfortunate. The
only worse thing that could have happened
was if I had made the putt on that last hole.”
He missed the 7-foot par putt to seemingly
slip into a three-man playoff with Kaymer and
Bubba Watson. But the two-shot penalty

One shot behind in the playoff, Kaymer made
another 15-foot putt for birdie on the par-3

Twins take no-hitter into eighth,down A’s

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Ron Gardenhire heard
the boos from Twins fans Sunday afternoon.
And the Minnesota manager acknowledged he
was kind of booing himself at the same time.
Even though Kevin Slowey just thrown
seven innings of no-hit baseball against
Oakland, Gardenhire went to his bullpen to
finish the game. The bid for a combined no-
hitter didn’t last long, either, when Jon Rauch
gave up a double to the second batter he faced
in what would end being a 4-2 Twins victory.
“I would boo me too,” Gardenhire said. “I
took a pitcher out with a no-hitter going. But I
would do it 1,000 times the same way.”
The reason was simple: Elbow tendinitis
caused Slowey to miss his last start. Combine
that with 106 pitches to get through seven
innings and there was little chance of him
throwing two more innings — even if he con-
tinued to hold the Athletics without a hit.
“We’re not going to come close to risking
this guy,” Gardenhire said. “It’s the way it is.
It’s sad. I’d be booing too because I want to
see a no-hitter, but I also know I’m responsi-
ble for this guy’s arm.”
While the bullpen couldn’t hold the shutout,
Slowey, Rauch, Jesse Crain and Matt Capps
combined to limit Oakland to three hits as the
Twins completed their fifth series sweep this
season and third since the All-Star break.
Capps secured his fourth save in five appear-
ances for the Twins since being acquired from
the Nationals.
Jason Kubel drove in the first run for the
Twins and Jim Thome homered for a
Minnesota team that will open a key AL
Central series against the Chicago White Sox
on Tuesday. The Twins (68-50) also moved 18
games over .500, their best record in nearly
two years.
Slowey, who was congratulated by team-
mates, coaches and Gardenhire when he fin-
ished the seventh inning, didn’t pitch like a

Colts’miscues help 49ers rally for 37-17 win
By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Colts quarterback
Peyton Manning made things look easy
Sunday. Sixteen plays, 10 points, take a
breather.
Everyone else found out how tough the
NFL really can be when you’re not the
four-time league MVP — even if it is
only the preseason.
Running back Michael Robinson fum-
bled on the 49ers first play, David Carr
was sacked three times and the San
Francisco receivers struggled to hold onto
Alex Smith’s passes.
Fortunately for San Francisco,
Manning’s backup, Curtis Painter, played
even worse. The 49ers took advantage of
Painter’s three interceptions and a
botched handoff late in the first half, scor-
ing 34 straight points to rally for a 37-17
victory at Indy.
“I think he didn’t play as well as he’d
like to, but he needed some help, too,”
Colts coach Jim Caldwell said of Painter.
“The things that are hidden, dropped
passes, the things you need to extend
drives, you need guys to do their jobs and
we certainly didn’t play as well as we
wanted.”
The game did rekindle some old mem-
ories, though.
Manning was in midseason form, going
8 of 10 for 91 yards and leading the Colts
to scores on their first two drives just min-
utes after accepting the MVP trophy.
Smith, who finally emerged last season
as the quarterback the 49ers expected,
was 3 of 9 for 37 yards and managed only
two first downs.
Carr, like Manning and Smith was a
No. 1 pick in the draft, finished 9 of 11 for
98 yards with one TD, but was sacked
three times and nearly a couple of more
— reminiscent of his early days in
Houston.
Then there was Painter, whom Colts
fans booed mercilessly after he made his
NFL debut in December’s loss to the Jets.
He was 9 of 19, recovered one fumble,
had one tackle and endured even more
boos from the half-full stadium just
before halftime.
The 49ers actually had more return
yards on Painter’s interceptions (111)
than Painter threw for (64), and, as
Caldwell, noted, it wasn’t all Painter’s
fault.
“I thought we were tough physically
and mentally and we ran to the ball,”
49ers coach Mike Singletary said. “I
thought the guys did a good job overall.”
Clearly, this was not what the Colts
wanted to see.
Then again, Indy has never made pre-
season games a priority.
Six starters including Pro Bowlers
Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Bob
Sanders and Jeff Saturday — did not play
on Sunday.
Coach Jim Caldwell yanked most of his
other starters, along with Manning, after
just two series. And the running game
Indy wants to improve produced only 8
yards in the first 25 minutes.
San Francisco wasn’t at full strength,
either. Michael Crabtree, Frank Gore and
Patrick Willis all sat out, but it wanted to
use the game to get in sync.
The 49ers struggled early. Robinson’s
fumble led to Adam Vinatieri’s 21-yard
field goal, and Manning took the Colts 89
yards on the next series — the last 7 com-
ing on Joseph Addai’s scoring run mid-
way through the first quarter.
“I thought our guys, really, after a slow
start, got back on track,” Singletary said.
“Overall, I thought the guys did a pretty
decent job. We’re on the right road, but
we have a long way to go.”
That’s when Painter entered and the
Colts lead vanished.
Reggie Smith picked off Painter on the
SPORTS Monday • Aug. 16, 2010 13
left sideline and ran it back 91 yards for a
TD to make it 10-7.
“I saw an opportunity,” Smith said.
“They were running two short routes and
one deep, and the ball bounced up in the
air. Right place, right time, came and got
it and took it the rest of the way.”
Kyle Williams used the same philoso-
phy when he caught Pat McAfee’s low
punt and ran it back 36 yards to set up
Robinson’s 3-yard scoring run. Suddenly,
with 7:21 to go in the half, the 49ers led
14-10.
It was only the start.
Before the half ended, Painter threw
two more interceptions and ran into full-
back Mitch King, losing the ball on a
fourth-down play at the Indy 41. San
Francisco turned that into two field goals
for a 20-10 lead, and Carr sealed the out-
come with an 8-yard TD pass to tight end
Tony Curtis late in the third quarter.
Indy didn’t score again until Tom
Brandstater threw a 3-yard TD pass to Jacob
Tamme to make it 34-17 with 10:58 left.
“Obviously, the big thing was
turnovers,” Caldwell said. “We’ve got a
lot of work to do, so we’ll keep working.”
Notes: Robinson scored, but it was
Anthony Dixon who had the best day of
the 49ers running backs. Dixon ran 32
times for 100 yards and had a TD as the
49ers look for a replacement to the
recently retired Glen Coffee. ... Four
49ers were injured during the game.

Watson, Johnson make
first Ryder Cup team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The disappointment of his play-
off loss in the PGA Championship didn’t last long. Bubba
Watson is taking his booming drives to the Ryder Cup.
Watson, who was 18th in the standings going into the final
qualifying tournament, moved up to No. 3 with his runner-
up finish at Whistling Straits on Sunday.
Dustin Johnson, whose two-stroke penalty on a bizarre
bunker ruling knocked him out of the playoff, tied for fifth
and also secured one of eight automatic spots for the
Americans.
Captain Corey Pavin will announce his four wild-card
picks on Sept. 7, in New York, and among those under con-
sideration is Tiger Woods. The world’s No. 1 player failed to
play his way onto the team, finishing 12th in the standings.
Watson knocked out Anthony Kim, who missed three
months after thumb surgery.
Woods still thinks he can help the U.S. Ryder Cup team. It
might be the only thing that could salvage yet another year
without a major. Woods matched the longest grand slam
drought of his career when he failed to win the PGA
Championship. He didn’t even finish seventh or better,
which he needed to have any shot of playing his way onto
the Ryder Cup squad.

“I don’t realize what happened,” Kaymer said. “I just won
my first major. I’ve got goose bumps just talking about it.”
It was the cruelest ending to a major since Roberto de
Vicenzo signed for a higher score in the final round of the
1968 Masters that was won by Bob Goalby.
Watson was only disappointed for a few minutes until
learning he had played his way onto the Ryder Cup team.
Harvick wins at Michigan
By Chris Jenkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BROOKLYN, Mich. — He already
had horsepower, handling and the
points lead. Now Kevin Harvick has a
win this season at a track other than
Talladega or Daytona.
Harvick passed Denny Hamlin with
11 laps to go Sunday, then held on to
win the NASCAR Sprint Cup series
race at Michigan International
Speedway.
It’s yet another sign that Richard
Childress Racing is back after a disap-
pointing 2009, and Harvick is the cham-
pionship favorite with only three more
races left before the Chase.
“Everybody was embarrassed last
year, and we’ve really been running
pretty well since probably the last six or
eight weeks of last year,” said Harvick,
who formally clinched a spot in the
Chase. “It didn’t just happen today.”
Harvick’s No. 29 team gambled by
staying on the track instead of making a
pit stop during a late caution. It paid off
with Harvick’s third win of the season
and his first this year on a non-restrictor
plate track.
The victory was another significant
step in the resurgence of Richard
Childress Racing — and it came at a
track where RCR typically hasn’t been
very strong.
“Somebody’s got to beat Jimmie
(Johnson) this year, and it might as well
be RCR,” Childress said.
Hamlin finished second, followed by
Roush Fenway Racing drivers Carl
Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth.
Team owner Jack Roush was back at
the track this weekend, days after his
release from a hospital following seri-
ous injuries in a
plane crash.
“It’s great,”
Edwards said. “We
really wanted to get
a win for him today,
but that’s a strong
performance for us.”
Edwards has fin-
Kevin Harvick ished seventh or bet-
ter in six straight
races and he likes his chances going
into the Chase. But nobody has been as
consistent as Harvick this season.
“I really don’t see how he can’t be,
really, the favorite going into it,”
Hamlin said.
With the Chase looming, Hamlin
acknowledged that his Joe Gibbs
Racing team is lagging behind Harvick
and RCR.
“Those guys, they’re tough,” Hamlin
said. “They’ve really got everything
working right now. Their cars are han-
dling really well, and they’ve got horse-
power. Those are two things that are
tough to beat.”
Harvick isn’t embracing the role of
championship favorite, saying Johnson
is the driver to beat until somebody
actually beats him.
“Until you beat that guy, there’s no
reason to put that pressure on your-
selves,” Harvick said.
It was a rough day for several Chase
contenders. Kurt Busch blew an engine,
Mark Martin damaged his car early and
spent most of the afternoon running
outside the top 30, and Jeff Gordon was
in the top 10 when he had a flat tire with
47 laps to go.
Gordon finished 27th, Martin finished
28th and Busch finished 40th.
Ryan Newman and Joey Logano tan-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
gled on the track, then had to be sepa-
rated by NASCAR officials after the
race.
“He races me way too hard, he races
everybody too hard,” Logano said. “I’m
not the only one that complains about it
every week.”
Newman was not available for com-
ment.
Leaders Tony Stewart and Harvick
stayed on the track instead of making
pit stops when a caution came out with
32 laps left — leaving them at the front
of the field with most other drivers on
fresher tires and 28 laps to go on the
restart.
Hamlin took the lead from Stewart
with 23 laps until the end, but Harvick
stayed on his tail and finally got past
him with 11 left. Stewart slipped to
sixth at the finish.
Busch sustained a “catastrophic”
engine failure, slipping from fourth to
10th in the points.
“We didn’t get it done,” Busch said.
“We’ll bounce back and be back next
week. We should be OK in points.”
Things didn’t go much better for
Martin, who had to spend extra time in
the pits after scraping his car’s nose
early in the race. Martin slipped to 13th
in the points, now one spot behind Clint
Bowyer for the final Chase-eligible spot
in the standings.
Gordon appeared headed for a good
finish, then a tire went flat in the middle
of heavy traffic. He avoided heavy con-
tact with other cars or the wall but fell
far back in the field.
It was a much better day for Harvick,
who won’t be under much pressure the
next three weeks.
“Do you think it’d go over well if we
went on vacation?” Harvick joked.

Off-road racer rolls truck into crowd,killing 8
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUCERNE VALLEY, Calif. — The crowd
at the off-road race could almost touch the
trucks as they hurtled and bounced over the
desert sand. They were close enough for one
mistake to end eight lives.
Hundreds of thrill-seeking fans watched in
horror Saturday night as one racer took a
jump at high speed, hit his brakes on landing
and rolled his truck sideways into spectators,
sending bodies flying on a section of track
that had no guardrails or anything else to keep
the crowd back. Eight people were killed and
12 were injured at the California 200, a race in
the Mojave Desert about 100 miles northeast
of Los Angeles.
“You could touch it if you wanted to. It’s
part of the excitement,” said 19-year-old Niky
Carmikle, who stood sobbing over a
makeshift memorial on the spot of the crash
Sunday. Her boyfriend, 24-year-old Zachary
Freeman of Ventura, was killed in the crash.
“There’s always that risk factor, but you just
don’t expect that it will happen to you.”
California Highway Patrol Officer Joaquin
SPORTS
Zubieta said Brett M. Sloppy, 28, of San
Marcos, was behind the wheel of the truck
involved in the crash. Zubieta said alcohol
was not a factor in the crash and there were no
plans to arrest Sloppy, who the CHP estimates
was going 45 to 50 mph at the time of the
crash.
Zubieta said state vehicle codes don’t apply
because the race was a sanctioned event held
with the approval of the federal Bureau of
Land Management, which owns the land used
for the race.
The BLM issued a statement saying safety
was the responsibility of the race organizer,
South El Monte-based Mojave Desert Racing.
MDR’s permit required racers to travel 15
mph or less when they were within 50 feet of
fans, and allowed no more than 300 spectators
for the event, the agency said.
Phone and e-mail messages left for MDR
were not immediately returned.
Tens of thousands of people were spread
out along the 50-mile track, but the site of the
crash, a stretch known as the “rockpile,” is
one of the most popular areas to gather, wit-
nesses said. Some witnesses said they got

within 4 feet of the unmarked track, watching
trucks fly over a series of jumps. Several
jagged rocks jut from the sand track at the
bottom of the hill.
The driver “hit the rock and just lost control
and tumbled,” said Matt March, 24, of
Wildomar, who was standing next to the
jump. “Bodies went everywhere.”
March said he and several other fans lifted
the truck, which came to rest with its over-
sized wheels pointing toward the sky, and
found four people lying unconscious under-
neath.
Monday • Aug. 16, 2010 15
John Payne, 20, of Anaheim, said he was
among the first people to reach the truck. He
said the victims included one person who was
decapitated.
Carmikle had gone to the bathroom when
the crash happened. When she came back,
Freeman and his best friend, 24-year-old
Dustin Malson of Ventura, were dead.
“Bodies all over the ground, people scream-
ing, and all I wanted to do was find my
boyfriend and my friends,” Carmikle said.
It took rescue vehicles and helicopters more
than half an hour to reach the remote location,
accessible only by a rutted dirt road.
Spectators said off-duty police and firefighters
in the crowd joined paramedics hired by the
race organizer to help the injured and place
blankets over the dead.
Six people died at the scene and two others
died after being taken to a hospital, authorities
said. Most of the 12 injured people were air-
lifted to hospitals.
Paramedics brought six people — five
adults and a child — to Loma Linda
University Medical Center, spokesman
Herbert Atienza said Sunday.

f you love the thought of adopting a
pet, but can’t visit the shelter
because it’s too overwhelming,
swing by our new animal adoption bou-
tique at Hillsdale Shopping Center. The
management offered us the former site of
the Tinder Box, a cigar and tobacco shop,
rent free through December. Truly, a
smokin’ deal. We lit up (figuratively!)
when we saw the first-floor space located
between Macy’s and Banana Republic.
We’re staffing our adoption satellite on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; during
the week, a flat-screen television in the
window previews coming “attractions,”
allowing shoppers to look at the doggie or
kitty in the window when we aren’t open.
We’ll focus on cat adoptions since our
shelter has had so many cats all summer;
Cohiba Cubans have been replaced by
Calico kittens whose long-term effects on
your health are fantastic. The Tinder Box
had a 6-foot-by-8-foot room in the back
set up as a walk-in humidor. Absolutely
perfect as our Get Acquainted Room, an
enclosed space off the main floor for
potential adopters to play with a cat or
dog to see if they have a love connection.
We also have a small retail section for
logo gear, dog and cat toys. It’s been
years since Hillsdale (and most shopping
malls in the Bay Area) had a pet store
offering dogs and cats for sale. The pub-
lic reacted strongly and negatively to mul-
tiple exposés showing the horrible condi-
tions in which the “supply” came from
before getting shipped to retail outlets.
The saddest victims were mommies left
behind at puppy mills to breed again and
again to keep that supply coming. A
shopping mall adoption center, on the
other paw, will do what pet shops did —
draw visitors — while leaving shoppers
with a good feeling, knowing shelter pets
are getting second chances. Puppy mills:
put that in your pipe and smoke it!

‘Expendables’seizes No.1 spot
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone has
proven that he’s not quite expendable yet at
the box office.
Stallone and his pumped-up pals lifted
Lionsgate’s 1980s-style action romp “The
Expendables” to a No. 1 debut with $35 mil-
lion, according to studio estimates Sunday.
While the macho “Expendables” lured male
audiences, Julia Roberts delivered a crowd-
pleaser for women with Sony’s “Eat Pray
Love,” which opened at No. 2 with $23.7 mil-
lion.
The previous weekend’s top movie, Sony’s
cop comedy “The Other Guys,” slipped to
third place with $18 million, raising its 10-day
total to $70.5 million. The Warner Bros.
blockbuster “Inception” was fourth with
$11.4 million, lifting its total to $248.6 mil-
lion.
Opening in fifth place with $10.5 million
was Universal’s graphic-novel adaptation
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” starring
Michael Cera as a slacker caught up in duels
to the death with his new girlfriend’s seven
evil ex-boyfriends.
“The Expendables” continued a box-office
uptick for Stallone, who has had a career
resurgence in recent years revisiting his past

“Rambo” franchises. ed the crowds, with 56 percent of the audience

met his Republican opponent for the
seat, Catherine Brinkman. Hill won the
general election in that race with 73 per-
cent of the vote.
This year, Hill squares off against
Republican Alberto Waisman and
Libertarian Gary Tutin for the Assembly
seat in the Nov. 2 election.
Hill has yet to meet Waisman or Tutin
either, although he is prepared to debate
either candidate.
Since San Mateo County is over-
whelmingly Democrat, Hill’s victory is
all but a given, although his opponents
would say otherwise.
Waisman, a San Mateo resident, is
conducting his first campaign with a
focus on creating more jobs in the state
and fixing the economy.
Waisman wants to freeze government
spending to balance the state budget and
reduce dependence on foreign oil by
increasing use of all domestic energy
resources including nuclear, natural gas
and coal.
solve the state’s $20 billion deficit by
reducing spending.
“Government should run more effi-
ciently,” Tutin said. “We don’t need to
study how to cut spending — we just
need to cut spending.”
He blames the state Legislature for
chasing jobs out of the state and said
non-violent offenders should be kept out
of jail.
As a Libertarian, Tutin naturally
opposes raising taxes.
“We are paying too much in taxes and
not getting much for it,” Tutin said.
Neither Tutin nor Waisman have ever
held elected office, although Tutin ran
for a seat on the water board in Pacifica,
which he lost.
Democratic lawmakers in Sacramento
are currently negotiating with Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger to solve this
year’s budget, already six weeks past the
approval deadline.
Hill wants to reform the way the state
adopts a budget by eliminating the two-
thirds majority needed to approve it.
“We shouldn’t allow the minority to
control the will of the majority,” Hill
said.

solve the deficit and get people back to
work.
He is by far the most politically expe-
rienced of the three, joining the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors in
1999 after seven years as a San Mateo
councilman, including turns as mayor.
He has taken a stand against cuts to
health and human services programs and
education in budget negotiations.
As an assemblyman, he has crafted
legislation targeting drunk drivers,
methamphetamine use and the abuse of
red-light cameras by law enforcement
agencies to raise revenue.
There are no debates scheduled yet for
the race but Hill said he would be will-
ing to sit down and discuss the issues
with either candidate.

WAIT
Continued from page 1
not able to get married after voters
passed Proposition 8.
“They still had a party but it didn’t
have the same meaning,” she said.
The San Mateo bakery makes many
same-sex cakes, dating back to when
couples had to buy two toppers and cut
them apart to make two grooms or two
brides. With legal marriage nearly here,
MacDonald said she’s ready to continue
the tradition. Once the clock ticks past 5
p.m. Wednesday, she and other mer-
chants expect marriage-ready couples
will begin making plans.
The air of caution began last
Wednesday before U.S. District Judge
Vaughn Walker announced he would lift
the stay on overturning the same-sex
marriage ban. Some couples lined up in
San Francisco, ready to take the plunge
if allowed, but the San Mateo County
Clerk’s Office was quiet as people made
away. As the state waits to see if the
Ninth Circuit acts, Deputy Clerk
Theresa Rabe is telling couples to wait
before plunking down a non-refundable
fee for a spot in the county chapel.
Once marriage gets the green light,
though, the county — and the state —
stands to reap money. Marriage licenses
themselves are $78 and wedding-related
expenses like ceremonies, travel and
gifts will add to government and busi-
ness coffers through sales of goods and
both hotel and sales tax revenue.
A study by the University of
California at Los Angeles estimates
same-sex marriages could generate $492
million in business spending statewide
over the next three years.
Sasounian estimates seeing his bottom
line jump further down the road but even
then nothing compared to his former
shop in Fox Plaza across from San
Francisco City Hall.
“If had that shop now, I’d be doing
great business!” he said.
The difference, he said, is that the
expressed frustration with the lawsuit.
and even same-sex couples who use the
business don’t always disclose that fact.
Caution and discretion aside, gay-
friendly Peninsula Metropolitan
Community Church in Pacifica is ready
and excited to participate when couples
are ready.
“We are certainly prepared to be a
presence and available. I’m delighted to
be able to do this,’ said the Rev.-elect
Rebecca Anderson.
The church hasn’t fielded any calls
from couples wanting to schedule wed-
dings yet and Anderson, like the others,
believes that the emotional and political
roller coaster is keeping people from
acting right away.
“It’s been a long process and a lot of
people continue to wonder,” she said.
“But I think most of us are hopeful and
there is certainly enthusiasm in the con-
gregation.”

LIGHTS
Continued from page 1
Temporary lights were chosen as a com-
promise to allow football supporters to
show hesitant neighbors how their con-
times also makes the lights more of a
necessity since students will get out of
school later.

said Sequoia spokeswoman Bettylu
Smith.
Board President Olivia Martinez was
surprised by the lawsuit, but had yet to
see it and thus had no comment.
Five temporary light towers are
planned for the upcoming season. The
district has approved a contract for the
lights and also for work to improve elec-
trical hookups.
Britton argued the action is a precursor
to permanent lights. Spending money to
extend the electrical system for a tempo-
rary use wouldn’t otherwise make sense,
he said.
The group noted the environmental
impact report doesn’t take the neigh-
bors’ concerns into account. Lights
could lead to a number of problems like
increased traffic, noise and negative
behavior during late-night hours like
drinking, drugs, robberies or violence,
according to the lawsuit.
Susan Mohr, head of the Menlo-
Atherton Football Association board,
cerns could be mitigated, she said.
“We’re disappointed, and really out-
raged,” she said. “It’s unfortunate.”
In January, M-A football fans
approached the Board of Trustees to
study the idea of lights. The request
came after parents rented lights for one
home night game last fall. During the
meeting, players told the trustees of a
different feeling playing under lights on
their home field. Part of that feeling
could be associated with attendance. On
the Thursday afternoon game the week
prior, M-A saw 1,680 people at the
game. During the lone night game,
attendance rose to 5,500, Mohr said.
On its website, the Menlo-Atherton
Football Association advocated for the
lights for several reasons: they will build
school spirit and community participa-
tion; student athletes who currently
leave classes at 1:30 p.m. to prepare for
a 3 p.m. game will instead complete the
school day; parents will be able to attend
their children’s game and there will be
increased field use for soccer, lacrosse
and other teams.
M-A is not alone. Carlmont High
School is also sans stadium lights.
Both teams have the chance for a
“home” night game at another district
school — Woodside or Sequoia high
school.
This is not the first time Atherton, or
its residents, have clashed with the dis-
trict.
Atherton filed a suit Nov. 9, 2006 to
overturn planned construction of per-
forming arts center. The district received
an exemption from the environmental
testing in May 2005 — since the project
would not have increased the size of the
school or the student population.
Atherton, however, believed the project
would affect traffic, noise, light and
water conditions in the area and warrant
a study.
The town sued to block construction
until such a study was finished. By
January 2007, compromises began to
emerge allowing construction of the
center, which opened last October, to
continue.

Be satisfied with a slow-but-steady growth pattern in the
year ahead, especially where your material interests are con-
cerned. If you go after more than what you’re entitled to, you
may stall progress instead of making gains.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Be careful about what you pretend
to know. Someone could ask for an explanation on that very
subject and place you in an extremely embarrassing spot not
easily gotten out of.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - In an effort to be kind, you might
make a loan to a person who is an extremely poor credit risk,
known for not paying his/her bills. Don’t be the underwriter of
an unworthy person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If you are exposed to someone
who talks louder and longer than anybody else, remember
that it doesn’t mean this person’s judgment is better than
yours. Stand your ground if you think you’re right.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - When you do little and expect
a lot, disappointment is more than likely to be the end result.
What you receive will be commensurate to the service you
render or the work you perform.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - You truly enjoy mingling
with people from all walks of life, but now you’re likely to
be more comfortable in the company of close friends. Avoid
crowded gatherings if you can.
easily fit in with the others will make everyone feel uncom-
fortable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you’re too self-involved,
you aren’t likely to be attuned to your listeners. Take care not
to gore a sacred cow or dominate conversation with topics
that only appeal to you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - There’s a good chance you
could snatch defeat form the jaws of success if you’re not
careful. Be on guard against inclinations to oversell or turn a
good deal into a bummer.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Even though there is nothing
wrong with your judgment, you might think the opposite. As
a result, you’re likely to let others who can’t even think for
themselves reason things out for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you accidentally blurt out
something that is better left unsaid, don’t call attention to
your blunder by trying to clarify your comments. Chances are,
you’ll only make things worse.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Don’t ignore someone who likes
you and has been nice to you in order to fawn over a new
acquaintance who hasn’t yet given his/her friendship. Hurt
feelings will kill the good thing you had going.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you’re a bit lackadaisical
about things, both your motivation and initiative could break Sudoku

Advocates see trouble for misdiagnosed soldiers

By Anne Flaherty
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — At the height
of the Iraq war, the Army routinely
dismissed hundreds of soldiers for
having a personality disorder when
they were more likely suffering
from the traumatic stresses of war,
discharge data suggests.
Under pressure from Congress
and the public, the Army later
acknowledged the problem and
drastically cut the number of sol-
diers given the designation. But
advocates for veterans say an
unknown number of troops still
unfairly bear the stigma of a person-
ality disorder, making them ineligi-
ble for military health care and
other benefits.
“We really have an obligation to
go back and make sure troops
weren’t misdiagnosed,” said Dr.
Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinical psy-
chologist whose nonprofit “Give an
Hour” connects troops with volun-
teer mental health professionals.
The Army denies that any soldier
was misdiagnosed before 2008,
when it drastically cut the number
of discharges due to personality dis-
orders and diagnoses of post-trau-
matic stress disorders skyrocketed.
Unlike PTSD, which the Army
regards as a treatable mental dis-
ability caused by the acute stresses
of war, the military designation of a
personality disorder can have devas-
tating consequences for soldiers.
Defined as a “deeply ingrained
maladaptive pattern of behavior,” a
personality disorder is considered a
“pre-existing condition” that
relieves the military of its duty to
pay for the person’s health care or
combat-related disability pay.
According to figures provided by
the Army, the service discharged
about a 1,000 soldiers a year
between 2005 and 2007 for having a
personality disorder.
But after an article in The Nation
magazine exposed the practice, the
Defense Department changed its
policy and began requiring a top-
level review of each case to ensure
post-traumatic stress or a brain
injury wasn’t the underlying cause.
After that, the annual number of
personality disorder cases dropped
by 75 percent. Only 260 soldiers
were discharged on those grounds
in 2009.
At the same time, the number of
post-traumatic stress disorder cases
has soared. By 2008, more than
14,000 soldiers had been diagnosed
with PTSD — twice as many as two
years before.
The Army attributes the sudden
and sharp reduction in personality
disorders to its policy change. Yet
Army officials deny that soldiers
were discharged unfairly, saying
they reviewed the paperwork of all
deployed soldiers dismissed with a
personality disorder between 2001
and 2006.
“We did not find evidence that
soldiers with PTSD had been inap-
propriately discharged with person-
ality disorder,” wrote Maria
Tolleson, a spokeswoman at the
U.S. Army Medical Command,
which oversees the health care of
soldiers, in an e-mail.
Command officials declined to be
interviewed.
Advocates for veterans are skepti-
cal of the Army’s claim that it didn’t
make any mistakes. They say symp-
toms of PTSD — anger, irritability,
anxiety and depression — can easi-
ly be confused for the Army’s
description of a personality disor-
der.
They also point out that during its
review of past cases, the Army
never interviewed soldiers or their
families, who can often provide evi-
dence of a shift in behavior that
occurred after someone was sent
into a war zone.
“There’s no reason to believe per-
sonality discharges would go down
so quickly” unless the Army had
misdiagnosed hundreds of soldiers
each year in the first place, said Bart
Stichman, co-director of the
National Veterans Legal Services
Program.
Stichman’s organization is work-
ing through a backlog of 130 indi-
vidual cases of wounded service
members who feel they were
wrongly denied benefits.

Outside Lands’ return is a success
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Big names or smaller ones, two
day or three — if there’s one thing
the organizers of Outside Lands can
count on it’s that if you give the
people of the Bay Area good music,
good food and great drinks, they
will come.
The task was challenging, yet
simple: How do you bring people to
a music festival, which was one day
shorter and without the aid of a
gigantic, mainstream act and still
deliver a memorable experience.
The answer: It’s easy — at its core
Outside Lands has always been
about the music and the people —
with or without titanic acts, those
who are appreciative enough to
know good music will always come
out as long as you try to give them an
amazing atmosphere to enjoy it in.
ENTERTAINMENT
And a memorable experience is
what you got if you attended
Outside Lands 2010 at Golden Gate
Park in San Francisco.
Sure, the drive here and then sub-
sequent parking situation might
have been a headache. But once you
got inside music fans experienced
what has made Outside Lands the
most popular music festival in the
Bay Area.
Flocks of people headed to the
historic park for the two-day event
and were treated to exceptional
musical acts, great food and the
vibe unique to the San Francisco
Bay Area.
Deadheads, tweens, young and
old — the thing that has made
Outside Lands great throughout the
