HE WAS THE KEY FIGURE IN 1992 L.A. RIOTS
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Crystal Springs Uplands wants to
build a middle school in Belmont
and has offered the city a develop-
ment agreement that school ofcials
say should mitigate many residents
early concerns about trafc, noise
and other impacts the private school
will have on the surrounding neigh-
borhood.
Since it is a nonprot agency,
exempt from paying property taxes,
the school has offered to pay the
city $75,000 annually plus the con-
sumer price index, offer $40,000 in
financial aid exclusively for
Belmont students, give preference
to Belmont residents in the applica-
tion process and offer its synthetic
turfed athletic eld to the communi-
ty on weekends and three weeks
during summer.
Currently, the city realizes about
$65,000 a year in property tax rev-
enue from the site, according to
school ofcials.
The school, located in
Hillsborough, is looking to expand
into Belmont on Davis Drive and
build a new middle school near
Ralston Middle School, which near-
by residents say is already loud
enough.
Wakeeld Drive resident Joseph
Brennan has been the most vocal
opponent of the private schools
plan to grow in Belmont, due to
unacceptable noise, additional traf-
c and the need to remove 88 trees,
he said.
He has circulated a petition to

County ofcials
to take on
revisions to
financial plan
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Less than a month after county
voters rejected two of three tax
measures to shore up the general
fund, ofcials are ready to knuckle
down and tackle a recommended
budget that had already assumed the
extra $13 million annually.
The measure that did pass
Measure T, a 2.5 percent business
license tax on rental cars in the unin-
corporated area was the largest
revenue generator with a projected
$8 million each year. The county
will receive $4 million in new rev-
enue next year before it is increased
in the additional years.
The Election Day outcome was-
nt what county ofcials had hoped
but the passage of at least the largest
money maker leaves the necessary
budgetary revisions less dire.

The city of San Mateo has cut
its decit the past two years con-
siderably by reducing depart-
mental budgets across the board
and instituting furlough days for
its workers but the city still faces
a $4.3 million decit next year
as the council is set to approve a
two-year business plan at its
Monday night meeting.
The deficit for fiscal year
2013-14 is projected to be even
higher at $4.6 million, according
to a staff report by City Manager
Susan Loftus.
In 2010, the city projected the
FY 2012-13 decit to be at $7.1

A FAIR TO REMEMBER
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was while
learning outside
that 27-year-old
Ben Graves real-
ly saw the possi-
bilities of sci-
ence.
I was into
the outdoors. I
was a Boy
Scout. But I
wasnt into the outdoors [in terms
of] seeing it as a laboratory, Graves
said.
That changed at Carlmont when
Graves took part in a trip to Costa
Rica to study sea turtles. It was the
rst time that Graves really saw sci-
ence. Since then hes taken a num-
ber of opportunities to study science
in different ways. Graves always
came back to education as his pro-
fession. It wasnt the data collection
he loved. It was communicating
something to someone who had
never heard the idea.
Graves is one of 34 teachers

Rielle Hunters memoir
details affair, aftermath
When John Edwards faced the
prospect of an indictment that could put
him behind bars, he calmly told his mis-
tress he would probably wind up in a
low-security prison in Virginia more like
a country club than a jail. She quickly
told him she and their daughter would
move there to be near him if that hap-
pened.
Rielle Hunter details their phone call
just days before his indictment in her
new memoir, purchased by The
Associated Press ahead of its release.
What Really Happened: John
Edwards, Our Daughter and Me, also
includes Rielle Hunters mixed views on
Edwards parenting of their daughter
Quinn and descriptions of Elizabeth
Edwards outbursts. At the end of the
book, Hunter says she still has romantic
feelings for Edwards but doesnt know
how their relationship will turn out.
The book also provides a window into
Edwards psyche as federal prosecutors
began their case against him. Days
before his indictment Hunter asked: So
if you went to jail, what kind of jail
would it be? One of those country
clubs?
He said, Yeah.
Where? she asked.
Probably Virginia.
So Quinn and I will move to Virginia.
Virginia is a great state.
The only low-security federal prison
in Virginia is in Petersburg, where for-
mer Washington, D.C., mayor Marion
Barry once served time.
On the day of the indictment, the two
shared a surreal phone call as a newspa-
per reporter banged on her door in
Charlotte, while the man she refers to as
Johnny throughout the book called her
cell phone to say that he was also being
pursued.
Ive got helicopters circling my
house, Johnny said.
New York publishers had said they
were not interested in Hunters book,
citing her negative image, so it is instead
being released through a Dallas-based
boutique publisher, BenBella Books, on
June 26.
Federal prosecutors spent a year pros-
ecuting Edwards, culminating in a six-
week trial that ended last month. Jurors
acquitted Edwards on one count of
accepting illegal campaign contributions
and deadlocked on ve other felony
counts. The judge declared a mistrial.
Federal prosecutors then said in a court
order earlier this month that they would-
nt retry Edwards, and the charges
against him were dropped.
Neither Edwards nor Hunter testied.
Prosecutors had accused Edwards, 59,
of masterminding a scheme to use about
$1 million in secret payments from two
wealthy political donors to hide his
pregnant mistress as he sought the White
House in 2008.
The trial publicized intimate details
about Edwards affair with Hunter as his
wife, Elizabeth, was dying of cancer.
Much of the book describes their unfold-
ing relationship and the lengths to which
Hunter went to sneak in and out of
Edwards hotel rooms, even after her
contract as a videographer ended. She
also describes paparazzi chases after
news of their affair broke.
Hunter writes that Edwards is a doting
father when hes around their daughter
but that his obligations to his other chil-
dren curtail their time together. The
book features several pictures of the
father and daughter together, smiling.
Immediately after his trial, Edwards said
during a news conference with his
adult daughter, Cate, by his side that
he loved Quinn more than any of you
can ever imagine. Quinn is now 4 and
lives with Hunter in Charlotte.
He is a great dad to her when he is
with her, Hunter writes.

lthough many think that the Wright
brothers were the first men to
attempt air flight in the United
States, quite the contrary is true.
The San Bruno/Millbrae/Burlingame area
had developed a tradition of air pioneering
since the 1860s. On July 2, 1869, 35 years
before the Wright brothers made their 1903
ight, the Avitor, a kind of dirigible, took to
the sky with the aid of a steam engine for a
maiden ight. This 37-foot long gas-lled
bag, tted with wings, elevator and rudder
made its maiden ight at a private race track
on the Easton Estate in the present-day
Burlingame area (Broadway and California
Drive), and, although the aeroplane reached
speeds of only 5 mph, it nevertheless ew for
a complete mile. A replica of this aeroplane
is in the Hiller Museum in San Carlos. On Jan.
30, 1897, Thomas Scott Baldwin jumped from
a balloon and made the rst successful para-
chute jump in the western United States.
Beginning in 1909, Walter Varney who was
born on the San Francisco Peninsula in 1888,
tinkered with and flew airplanes at the
Ingleside Race Track in western San
Francisco. In 1916, he acquired 403 acres of
land in San Mateo, starting his edgling ying
school on the site that was to become the Bay
Meadows race track. In 1921, he built a hang-
er on the site he then called Beresford Field.
Speed Johnson took over the ying school
in 1925 while Varney relocated to Salt Lake
City to start Varney Air. Varney was awarded
the rst U.S. Postal Service contract for point
to point air-mail delivery. Varney purchased
six 90-horsepower Curtiss Swallows air-
craft and ew from Pasco, Wash. to Elko, Nev.
carrying mail for the government. His new air-
line had a chief instructor, three advanced stu-
dent pilots, four undergraduate mechanics,
one bookkeeper and one trafc man. Later,
Varney Air merged with United Airlines. In
1934, Varney started Varney Speed Lines pri-
marily to carry U.S. mail. Varney Speed Lines
became Continental Airlines in 1937.
When Bill Kyne built the Bay Meadows
race track, the air eld continued to be used
occasionally. The Bay Meadows Airport
ceased operation in 1947.
Another air eld, smaller than Varney Field,
San Mateo Air Field, was built in East San
Mateo. The Parkside Shopping Center is on
the site now.
Lynch Field in Redwood City was pur-
chased by Silas Christofferson in June 1916,
and he was to develop an aireld and a ying
school almost immediately. Christofferson
came from Portland, Ore. and had great suc-
cess with his airplanes he had own to an
altitude record of nearly 20,000 feet. His rep-
utation drew numerous people to his ying a
school from all over the world. It was a great
success almost immediately and people from
all over came to observe the ights that
occurred to the north east of the downtown
Airfield/plane development on the Peninsula

By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Challenge Helicopter Show at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos Saturday.
VERTICAL CHALLENGE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police say an apparent drowning of a three-
year-old girl in a San Mateo lagoon appears to
be nothing more than what a police
spokesman called a tragic accident.
San Mateo police Sgt. David Norris says
after family members called police a little
after 4 p.m. Saturday to report their daughter
was missing, ofcers found the girl a short
while later unresponsive in a lagoon close to
the familys apartment.
Ofcers and paramedics administered CPR
to try to revive the girl, but were unable to do
so. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The name of the girl has not been released.
Child victim of apparent
drowning in local lagoon
oppose the project and about 200 residents
have already signed it, he told the Daily
Journal.
In a letter to the Planning Commission,
Brennan writes: We dont want any more
invasions of our privacy that will shatter the
serenity of Belmont canyon living. It is fright-
ening to imagine the noise coming across the
canyon from competitive swimming events
with air horns, whistles and crowd cheering.
In addition, competitive soccer matches will
also contribute to noise pollution.
He also said the school would bring much
more trafc to the already crowded Ralston
Avenue.
The citys Planning Commission is set to
hold a public hearing on the matter at its
Tuesday night meeting.
School ofcials held a neighborhood meet-
ing Wednesday night at the site of the pro-
posed campus that was attended by about 35
people.
It was a constructive Q&A and we hope
we demonstrated the benets of having the
school located there, said Andrea Edwards,
director of development for the school.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet of com-
mercial/ofce and warehouse buildings and
165 parking spots are situated at 6-8 and 10
Davis Drive that has stood vacant for years.
Crystal Springs Uplands wants to demolish
the current buildings and construct a 52,000-
square-foot middle school with a 60-space
parking lot, gymnasium/theater/multi-pur-
pose room and an all-weather synthetic turf
playing eld. At capacity, the school would
have 216 students, 26 teachers and 10 addi-
tional staff.
The school will replace every tree that it
needs to remove during construction,
Edwards said, and build a soundwall during
construction as well.
Already the school has changed the color of
its roof based on neighborhood comments
from white to a matte-black solar panel con-
guration, Edwards said.
The school will also have much less capac-
ity on the site than other uses would, she said.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach has con-
cerns about trafc, noise and the loss of tax
revenue if the school locates to Belmont.
Ralston Avenue, she said, already has 35,000
car trips a day.
Im also concerned about the fact very few
children from Belmont will attend the
school, she said.
She said she has no doubt the school will be
a good partner with the city and that the
schools reputation is stellar.
The school is a good thing Im just not
sure it is the right spot, Feierbach said.
A consultant hired by Belmont estimates
the net scal loss for the city, by having a non-
prot school on the site compared to a com-
mercial use, to be about $116,000.
The school is offering about $150,000 in
benets plus proposes to provide digital cau-
tion signs on Ralston Avenue; provide a signal
timing analysis; and post a bond as security
for the schools proportionate share of poten-
tial Ralston Avenue improvements.
Use of the synthetic turf eld on weekends
and during the summer is valued at about
$35,000, according to the schools develop-
ment agreement offered to the city.
The school is also offering to construct a
sidewalk extension on Davis Drive to Ralston
Avenue at a cost of about $42,000.
About 200 jobs will be created to construct
the campus, according to school ofcials.
Mayor Dave Warden said he will weigh in
on the proposal after the Planning
Commission makes its nal recommendation
to council.
The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m.,
Tuesday, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane,
Belmont.

HISTORY

SACRAMENTO California
lawmakers may have passed a budg-
et on time to get paid, but their plan
to close a $15.7 billion shortfall car-
ries a big risk on the assumption
that voters will approve Gov. Jerry
Browns tax increase this fall.
Democratic lawmakers, who
passed the budget on a majority vote
without Republicans, are relying on
tax increases to bridge more than
half of the projected decit even
though the latest poll showed voters
divided. The Field Poll earlier this
month found that the Democratic
governors proposal
is leading with
only a 52 per-
cent to 35 per-
cent margin
even
before the
campaign for
it has begun.
The budg-
et could fall
apart depend-
ing on what
happens in
November, said
Mike Genest, who
served as nance
d i r e c t o r
under former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger during the height
of the recession. Last year, Brown
and Democrats used overly opti-
mistic revenue assumptions and
projected the state would rake in an
extra $4 billion. That money never
materialized, forcing the state to
confront a bigger decit now.
Nobody should hope that if you
pass this budget and the voters pass
the taxes in November that thats it,
California wont have any budget
problems in the future, Genest
said. Thats certainly not true.
Democrats passed a $92 billion
spending plan on Friday largely
modeled after Browns proposal in
order to meet their constitutional
deadline for getting paid. It was
unclear whether Brown would
sign it.
What theyre doing is
committing scal malprac-
tice by assuming that this
tax is going to pass, said
Jon Coupal, president of
the Howard Jarvis
Taxpayers Association,
which joined other busi-
ness groups last week in
launching a campaign
against the governors
proposal.
Sen. Lou Correa, a Democrat
from Anaheim, said its good that
voters will have the ultimate choice.
Thats direct democracy.
Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, a R-
Gerber, who is vice-chairman of the
Assembly Budget Committee,
called the budget unbalanced and
irresponsible because it lacked
long-term reforms such as a spend-
ing cap and pension reform.
Built into the budget are more
gimmicks and tricks than there have
been before, Nielsen said.
Brown has projected the state will
raise $8.5 billion in the new scal
year starting July 1 by increasing
the statewide sales tax by a quarter
cent to 7.5 percent for four years
and boosting the income tax on peo-
ple who make more than $250,000 a
year for seven years. Of that, $5.6
billion would provide direct relief to
the states general fund and $2.9 bil-
lion would increase funding for
schools and community colleges.
The governor has said his propos-
al is a critical step toward restoring
the states scal health and would
prevent serious cuts to education
and public safety.
If voters reject the tax increases,
the budget includes about $6 billion
in automatic spending cuts, almost
all of which would fall on K-12
schools. The contingency plan
would shorten the public school
year by as much as three weeks,
make deeper college cuts and
reduce funding for beach lifeguards
and game wardens.
At the same time, the governor is
facing competition from another tax
measure. Wealthy Los Angeles
attorney Molly Munger has pro-
posed raising income taxes on near-
ly all Californians on a sliding scale
to prop up struggling schools.
While Browns proposal would
backfill the states general fund,
support schools and guarantee fund-
ing to local governments for public
safety, Mungers 12-year tax
increase would provide only some
relief to the state budget in the rst
four years and lawmakers would
have no control over the school
funds.
Neither initiative has yet qualied
for the November ballot.
Leading up to Fridays budget
vote, Brown found himself at odds
with lawmakers in his own party
over about $1.2 billion in cuts to
welfare, child care, in-home support
and college aid. Brown said deeper
cuts through restructuring social
programs for the poor were neces-
sary to balance the states nances
this year and into the future.
Democratic lawmakers com-
plained that the governor was jeop-
ardizing his tax initiative by refus-
ing to sign off on their version of the
budget. They said voters may read a
spitting match between the gover-
nor and the Legislature as politics as
usual rather than elected ofcials
working together.
He has to choose,
Assemblyman Charles Calderon, D-
Whittier, said Thursday. Does he
want to look tough, like hes scold-
ing and whipping the Legislature
into shape? Or does he want the ini-
tiative to pass?
Brown proposed cutting $880
million in CalWORKS, the states
welfare-to-work program, by cut-
ting off parents after two years
instead of four if they do not meet
work requirements and cutting
grants by 27 percent in families
where only the children are eligible
for grants.
Democratic lawmakers and advo-
cates fear that would drive families
into homelessness.
They say a family of three in
which only the child qualies for
assistance would see benets fall
from $516 to $375 a month, an
amount equal to 24 percent of the
federal poverty level.
Democrats are only willing to cut
$428 million by extending existing
cuts to counties to provide work
training and child care.
On-time budget carries risky assumptions
OAKLAND A Northern California jury
has awarded $28 million in damages to a
woman who said the Jehovahs Witnesses
allowed an adult member of a Fremont church
to molest her when she was a child in the mid-
1990s.
Alameda County jurors awarded $7 million
in compensatory damages on Wednesday and
another $21 million in punitive damages on
Thursday to Candace Conti, her attorney,
Rick Simons said.
This is the largest jury verdict for a single
victim in a religious child abuse case in the
country, Simons told The Associated Press.
In her lawsuit, Conti, now 26, said from
1995-1996, when she was 9 and 10 years old
and a member of the North Fremont
Congregation of Jehovahs Witnesses, she
was repeatedly molested by a fellow congre-
gant, Jonathan Kendrick.

WASHINGTON
Congressional Republicans intend
to seek quick repeal of any parts of
the health care law that survive a
widely anticipated Supreme Court
ruling, but dont plan to push
replacement measures until after the
fall elections or perhaps 2013.
Instead, GOP lawmakers cite
recent announcements that some
insurance companies will retain a
few of the laws higher-prole pro-
visions as evidence that quick leg-
islative action is not essential.
Those are steps that ofcials say
Republicans quietly urged in private
conversations with the industry.
Once the Supreme Court issues a
ruling, the goal is to repeal any-
thing that is left standing, said Sen.
John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a member
of the partys leadership.
Beyond that, we ought to go step
by step to lower the cost of health
care, he added, a formula repeated
by numerous other Republicans
interviewed in recent days.
Across the political aisle, neither
President Barack Obama nor con-
gressional Democrats have said how
they will react to a high court ruling
that could wipe out the legislation
they worked so hard to enact.
Were not spending a whole
bunch of time planning for contin-
gencies, Obama said this spring at
the annual meeting of the
A s s o c i a t e d
Press. He
expressed con-
dence the court
would uphold
the law, and nei-
ther he nor his
aides have said
what fallback
plans are under
discussion.
Among Republicans, aides to
Speaker John Boehner, Senate
Republican leader Mitch
McConnell and other key lawmak-
ers have convened a series of meet-
ings in recent weeks to plan a post-
ruling strategy.
A Supreme Court ruling is
expected within the next two weeks
on a challenge to the law, which has
drawn fierce opposition among
most Republicans for its require-
ment that most individuals carry
health insurance.
While three big insurance compa-
nies announced plans this past week
to retain certain protections for an
estimated 40 percent of all individu-
als who receive their coverage
through work, there has been no
advance word from the drug indus-
try on how prescription costs for
older people might be affected by a
nding that the law is unconstitu-
tional.
Even so, Republicans say they
have no plans for assuring conti-
nuity of a provision that reduces
out-of-pocket costs for seniors
with high drug expenses. This
coverage gap is known as dough-
nut hole.
I dont think anybody intends to
get involved in the portion of
Medicare that provides prescription
drug coverage. The program is
working better than we designed
it, said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.,
referring to studies that show the
programs cost is lower than was
originally estimated.
The drug industry has yet to dis-
close its plans.
House Republicans have voted 30
times to eliminate, defund or scale
back parts or all of the health law,
most recently approving a measure
to wipe out a tax on medical
devices.
GOP on health care: Repeal quickly
Barack Obama
BRUNSWICK, Ohio Mitt Romney in an
interview aired Sunday repeatedly refused to
say that he would overturn President Barack
Obamas new policy allowing some young
illegal immigrants to stay in the United States.
He claimed Obamas decision was political,
while senior White House adviser David
Plouffe said the move wasnt motivated by
politics.
The Republican presidential candidate was
asked three times in an interview on CBS
Face the Nation whether he would overturn
the executive order issued Friday if hes elect-
ed in the fall. He refused to directly answer.
It would be overtaken by events, Romney
said when pressed for the second time by
moderator Bob Schieffer during the interview
taped Saturday while the former
Massachusetts governors bus tour stopped in
Pennsylvania.
He explained the order would become irrel-
evant by virtue of my putting in place a long-
term solution, with legislation which creates
law that relates to these
individuals such that they
know what their setting is
going to be, not just for the
term of a president but on
a permanent basis.
Romneys Rust Belt tour
swept through Ohio on
Sunday. He attended a
Fathers Day pancake
breakfast with two of his
sons and ve of his 18 grandchildren. He told
a rain-soaked crowd that the weather was a
metaphor for the country and that three and
half years of dark clouds are about to part. At
a second event in Newark, near Columbus,
Romney told a cheering crowd that the presi-
dents slogan had changed.
Last time when he was running for presi-
dent his campaign theme was hope and
change. This time hes hoping to change the
subject because the American people are not
happy, Romney said, speaking for about nine
minutes as Occupy Wall Street protesters
yelled from a nearby sidewalk.
Romney mum on overturn of
Obamas immigration order
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama
and Russian President Vladimir Putin will use
their meeting Monday, the rst since Putin
returned to Russias top job, to claim leverage in
a mutually dependent but volatile relationship.
Obama needs Russia to help, or at least not
hurt, U.S. foreign policy aims in the Mideast
and Afghanistan. Putin needs the United
States as a foil for his argument that Russia
doesnt get its due as a great power.
Obama and Putin are set to meet on the
sidelines of the Group of 20 economic gather-
ing in Mexico that will otherwise focus large-
ly on the European economic crisis. The sum-
mit, however, will provide a natural forum for
sideline discussions of the crisis in Syria as
well as diplomatic efforts to head off a con-
frontation with Iran.
Russia is a linchpin in several U.S. foreign
policy goals. Chief among them are the inter-
national effort to deny Iran a nuclear weapon
and a smooth shutdown of the Afghanistan
war. Attacks on anti-government protesters in
Syria and the threat of civil war in the Mideast
nation pose the most immediate crisis.
Russias membership in numerous world
bodies and its veto power at the U.N. Security
Council give it leverage beyond its economic
or military power. Obama holds far greater
power and both leaders know it. But Putin can
be a spoiler and irritant to the administration.
Things got off to a rocky start this spring,
when Obama pointedly withheld a customary
congratulatory phone call to Putin until days
after his election. Putin appeared to snub
Obama by skipping the smaller and weightier
Group of Eight meeting that Obama hosted
last month at Camp David.

Egypt votes for 2nd day to pick Mubarak successor
CAIRO Egyptians are choosing between a conservative
Islamist and Hosni Mubaraks ex-prime minister in a second
day of a presidential runoff that has been overshadowed by the
domination of the countrys military.
Going head-to-head in the runoff are Ahmed Shaq, a long-
time friend and self-confessed admirer of Mubarak, and
Mohammed Morsi of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood.
The Saturday-Sunday vote followed a week of political
drama in which the military announced de facto martial rule
and judges appointed by Mubarak before his ouster dissolved
the freely elected, Islamist-dominated parliament.
The generals who took over from Mubarak 16 months ago
are expected this week to spell out the powers of the new pres-
ident and appoint a 100-member panel to draft a new constitu-
tion.

Israeli driver kills 2 Palestinians, wounds 1
JERUSALEM An Israeli tow truck driver shot dead two
Palestinians and wounded one Sunday during what police said
was an attempted car robbery in the West Bank.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the
Palestinian men ambushed the Israelis vehicle and beat him
over the head with chains and bars before the driver opened re
in self-defense. He said the driver is being treated for head
wounds at an Israeli hospital, and a police investigation is con-
tinuing.
The Palestinian men have criminal records, according to
Palestinian police.
The two men died from gunshot wounds to the head and
chest, said Ziyad Abu Zahara, acting director of a hospital in
Hebron in the southern West Bank. The incident occurred near
the city.
Though the Israeli driver has been identied by police as
coming from the south of the country and not a West Bank
settlement Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the
shooting was the work of a Jewish settler and implied it was
intentional.
Those (settlers) ... commit their crimes under the protection
of the government and Israeli military, Abbas said.

BEIRUT The head of the U.N.
observers mission in Syria demanded
Sunday that warring parties allow the
evacuation of women, children, elderly
and sick people endangered by ghting
in the besieged city of Homs and other
combat zones.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood said the
observers had been trying for the past
week to bring out families and wounded
trapped in Homs by heavily shelling of
rebel-held areas. The offensive is part of
a broader push by President Bashar
Assads forces to regain rebel-held vil-
lages and towns throughout the country.
The parties must reconsider their
position and allow women, children, the
elderly and the injured to leave conict
zones without any preconditions and
ensure their safety, Mood said in a
statement. U.N. attempts to extract
civilians from the line of re over the
past week have been unsuccessful.
This requires willingness on both
sides to respect and protect the human
life of the Syrian people, he added.
On Saturday, the U.N. said its 300
observers based in Syria were suspending
all missions because of concerns for their
safety after ghting intensied over the
previous 10 days. But the monitors said
they were remaining in Syria in Damascus.
A U.N. ofcial told the Associated Press
earlier Sunday that a team of observers had
left Damascus for Homs, hoping to evacu-
ate civilians. The plan was not made pub-
lic for fear that would compromise the
mission. The ofcial spoke on condition
of anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak to the media.
The ofcial said the plan was to arrange
a brief cease-re of up to 90 minutes dur-
ing which the civilians would have been
evacuated from rebel-held areas of Homs
through a safe corridor. He said the mis-
sion was approved by the Syrian govern-
ment. But the ghting never eased enough
to allow the evacuations.
Regime forces have been waging a
erce offensive through towns and vil-
lages nationwide, trying to root out
rebels by shelling urban areas with tanks
and attacking from helicopters. Rebels
also have attacked Syrian forces, mostly
trying to burn tanks.
The activist group Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights said at least eight sol-
diers were shot and killed in one rebel
attack, and some 30 Syrian civilians and
rebels were killed across the country
Sunday.
The humanitarian situation in Homs
is very difficult, said Rami Abdul-
Rahman, who heads the British-based
Observatory. It is very clear that the
army wants to retake Homs.
Evacuations urged in Syria
ATHENS, Greece Fears of an
imminent Greek exit from Europes
joint currency receded Sunday after the
conservative New Democracy party
came rst in a critical election and pro-
bailout parties won enough seats to form
a joint government.
As central banks stood ready to inter-
vene in case of nancial turmoil, Greece
held its second national election in six
weeks after an inconclusive ballot on
May 6.
With one party advocating ripping up
Greeces multibillion-euro bailout deal,
the election was seen as a vote on
whether Greece should stay in the 17-
nation joint euro currency. A Greek exit
would have had potentially catastrophic
consequences for other ailing European
nations, the United States and the entire
global economy.
With 82.5 percent of the vote counted,
ofcial results showed New Democracy
winning 30 percent and 130 of the 300
seats in Parliament. The radical anti-
bailout Syriza party had 26.6 percent
and 71 seats and the pro-bailout
Socialist PASOK party came in third
with 12.5 percent of the vote and 33
seats.
The anti-immigrant nationalist
Golden Dawn party had 6.9 percent and
18 seats, while the Democratic left won
6.1 percent and 18 seats.
The parties have starkly different
views about what to do about the (euro)
240 billion ($300 billion) in bailout
loans that Greece has been given by
international lenders, and the harsh aus-
terity measures that previous Greek gov-
ernments had to accept to get the funds.
New Democracy leader Antonis
Samaras cast Sundays choice as one
between keeping the euro and returning
to Greeces old currency, the drachma.
He has vowed to renegotiate some of the
bailouts harsher terms but insists the
top priority is for the country to remain
in Europes joint currency.

OPINION 9
Whos really responsible
for the shooting?
Editor,
That piece about Derrick Gaines,
Solemn memorial in the June 13 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, was very remi-
niscent of those anti-war,owers in your
hair days in the 60s valid then, not
so much these days. Police brutality?
Where does that come from? The ques-
tion that should be being asked is why is
a 15-year-old carrying a gun? Did his
parents know he had a gun on him?
Saying it wasnt loaded is moronic. How
would anyone but him know that? The
focus should be on what Gaines and his
friend were doing, why one of them had
a gun and why the one with the gun
chose to run instead of obeying the of-
cers order to stop. When he did stop,
why reveal that he was armed?
This article is a perfect example of
PC nonsense, a blatant attempt to shift
the responsibility of a tragedy from the
one who caused it, the kid with a gun,
to those who did not, the ofcers.
Articles like this are not reporting, they
are a feeble attempt at propaganda.
Surely you can do better.

Editor,
My condolences to his family and
friends. We, San Mateo County, must put
a stop to this if at all possible. The article,
Teen, 15, shot dead in the June 7 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, said the police
did not say what kind of gun he allegedly
pulled out of his waistband which caused
the unnamed ofcer to fear for his life
which is the standard answer in these
shootings. It would be helpful for the
transparency factor if they identied the
gun and ammo, and conrmed whether
or not it was real, loaded, etc. It also said,
a lengthy investigation will be conduct-
ed by the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce. I am asking District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe to refer this
investigation to the California attorney
general based on my personal knowledge
of favorable treatment toward law
enforcement in the past by his ofce.
We must pull together and nd a way
for our citizens and police ofcers to be
safe. If a gun was involved and pulled
from the waistband, kids and adults
need to understand that would be a
good reason to shoot. Period.

Editor,
I always enjoy our Ayn Rand enthusi-
ast in residence, Christopher Conway
(God bless America letter to the edi-
tor in the June 14 edition of the Daily
Journal). He sees our nation as simply
made up of givers and takers. Pretty
sad outlook, if you ask me. Hes actual-
ly criticizing most every family as well
as the values of those who hold to
Islamo-Judeo-Christian values. Those
who have the excess are expected to
share with those who do not. Basic
stuff. When its out of kilter, we have a
slide toward feudalism and the realities
seen in the Third World.
For examples of nations that care for a
balanced view of their societies we have
the Nordic countries and others where
there is not such an unhealthy split
between the rich and poor. These ten-
dencies will always exist where the 1
percent try to vastly increase their mar-
gin of separation from the 99 percent, as
well as to try to monopolize an absolute
hold on political power. Its simply a
matter of national health to keep those
tendencies in balance. Pretty much like
the way healthy families operate.

Mr. Christopher P. Conway invites
prolic left-leaning letter writer Jorg
Aadahl to seek and settle in a country
that shares his philosophy ... (Letter to

and goes on to rail against the political
climate in Sacramento and de facto the
rest of California.
Since were making helpful sugges-
tions about relocation I thought I might
help. The rest of the West Coast states
are solidly blue also, so thats out.
Idaho is gorgeous and the weather isnt
too brutal six months of the year and
has a very conservative political envi-
ronment you might like. You might be
wary of places like Hayden, though.
Their brand of conservatism includes

The Orange County Register
G
ov. Jerry Browns latest poll
numbers have declined to the
point that the San Francisco
Chronicle mused, the governor may
have a hard time persuading voters to
approve his tax measure in November.
Thats not even the most immediate
problem for the increasingly unlikable
Mr. Brown. His budget and the spend-
ing plan preferred by Democrats, who
control both houses of the Legislature,
are $2 billion apart. And the clock is
ticking. Friday is the legal deadline for
adopting a balanced budget.
We put balanced in quotes because
it appears that whether income and
outgo equal will be entirely in the eyes
of state legislators. Thats because even
if the spending plan is awash in red ink,
a court decision has given Assembly
members and state senators power to
simply proclaim it balanced and be
done with it. Until the bills come due,
of course.
We suspect the Legislature will nd
some way to paper over an actual
decit, which we also suspect will be
built into the plan. Thats because if
legislators dont declare the budget bal-
anced, they cant draw their paychecks.
Therefore, it is extremely likely that
they will determine that the budget is
balanced, in quotes, according to
their own curious accounting practices,
just as has been done for several years
now.
Perhaps thats why, according to a
recent Field Poll, legislators are even
less-liked than the governor.
The Legislatures dismal 19 percent
approval rating makes Mr. Brown with
43 percent look like an American Idol
by comparison. But as the Chronicle
speculated in a news story last week,
the poll numbers indicate a tough ght
ahead for Brown, who is working to
persuade voters to increase sales and
income taxes in November as part of
his plan to balance the state budget.
According to the poll, the governor
is not trusted by a large number of vot-
ers ... to do what is right to resolve the
states $15.7 billion budget shortfall,
the Chronicle reported. Mr. Browns
proposed $8.5 billion increases in
income and sales taxes are built into his
already questionable budget.
The longer these budget travails
take, the worse its getting for Brown,
said Field Poll director Mark
DiCamillo. I have always thought that
part of Browns ability to get the tax
increases enacted ... was the extent to
which voters trust him and hold govern-
ment in high regard.
If the pollster is correct, and higher
taxes hinge on public perception of Mr.
Browns trustworthiness and the gov-
ernments image, we should prepare to
celebrate the tax increases defeat.
Indeed, since 1990, voters have rejected
14 of 18 statewide tax increases,
demonstrating that they have had more
sense than the governor and
Legislature.
A bad sign for Gov. Browns tax hike?
Bay Meadows
comes to life
T
he easiest decision I ever made while serving on
the San Mateo City Council was to oppose a 24-
hour card room casino at the race track. Both the
city and the track were experiencing rough economic
times. A card room to expand gambling options at Bay
Meadows was seen as a possible answer. I was a new
councilmember when the issue first arose. In the begin-
ning, I had no real objection. My father occasionally
played cards for pocket money and I innocently thought a
card room would sort of be
like that.
When I attended a
League of California Cities
conference in Los Angeles
with a few other coun-
cilmembers and staff, we
visited Inglewood race
track and card room.
Inglewood, located near
LAX, is a poor urban city
with little in common with
San Mateo. When we were
ushered into the card room,
I gasped in surprise at the
rows of old despondent
men bent over their cards and cigarettes in the smoke-
filled room. I changed my mind. This was not right for
San Mateo.
I was the only one on the council to oppose the card
room. And since I helped start a grass roots movement to
fight it, I was persona non grata among my colleagues and
some warned I would never be chosen as mayor. However,
the community agreed with our efforts and the card room
was defeated at the polls.
The Inglewood race track and card room have since shut
down as financial liabilities. The New York Times recent-
ly featured a front page story on race track casinos linked
to the death of too many horses, Casino Cash Helps Push
Cheap Racers to the Limit. Cited was a casino which
opened at New Yorks Aqueduct race track last year. It
offered richer prizes. But 30 horses died racing there, a
100 percent increase in the fatality rate over the same
period the previous year. And it was not the only
casino/track where horse mortality has increased. No
question, the decision not to have a card room at Bay
Meadows was correct.
***
On the other hand, one of the most difficult decisions I
had to make was what kind of development to approve
when the race track announced it would close. We went
through more than five years of community meetings on
what the city wanted rather than just reaction to a devel-
opers plan. It was very important for me to have a very
large park equal to Central Park on the site, as well as a
development which would encourage people to walk to
stores and take Caltrain to work. At the same time, devel-
oper Wilson Meany and Associates was proposing a
development plan for the site. Many in the surrounding
neighborhoods were worried about traffic. Many citizens
and some homeowner associations were against any
development of any kind and just wanted the land to be
kept as open space. That was never an option since the
city didnt own the land and didnt have the money to
purchase it. And horse racing fans and employees were
upset.
I remember talking to then city manager Arne Croce
about possible uses. We talked about a college campus, a
high-tech research campus or maybe even creating a civic
center at the site. But none of these ideas turned out to be
possible. At last, after many extensive meetings, we had a
rail corridor plan approved by a citizens committee and a
developers proposal to fit that vision. My last vote as a
member of the City Council was to approve the Bay
Meadows development. That was in December 2005.
***
Today, work has begun on the closed down track.
Wilson Meany is creating streets, lighting, sidewalks and
utilities. They have submitted applications for two of the
new public parks the 12-acre community park and 1.5-
acre neighborhood park. Meanwhile, construction is
expected in a few months on 63 two- and three-bedroom
townhomes to be built by TriPointe Homes. Another
neighborhood of two- to four-bedroom townhomes is also
planned. There will also be five commercial buildings
designed to LEED Gold environmental standards. All of
this is within easy walking distance to Caltrain.
A new Bay Meadows is coming to life. Heres hoping
its a great addition to the city and validation of a deci-
sion made seven years ago.

BUSINESS 10

Looking back, the nancial lives many
Americans enjoyed until just a few years
ago can seem like a mirage.
On a suburban cul-de-sac northwest of
Atlanta, Michael and Patricia Jackson
are struggling to keep a house worth
$100,000 less than they owe. In a small
town in West Virginia, Michael Bobic,
who last year lost his job as a college
professor, sells Star Trek collectibles on
eBay to get by.
Their voices and those of many others
tell the story of a country that, for all the
economic turmoil of the past few years,
continues to believe things will get bet-
ter. But until it does, families are trying
to hang on to what theyve got left.
The Great Recession claimed nearly
40 percent of Americans wealth, the
Federal Reserve reported last week. The
new gures, showing Americans net
worth has plunged back to what it was in
1992, left economists shuddering while
sharpening attention on the pocketbook
issues at the center of the presidential
campaign. But for families across the
country, the report, tracking the period
from 2007 to 2010, conrms what they
already felt in their gut and saw in their
checkbooks. It is one more reminder that
theyre not alone.
Most of the wealth was lost to the
mortgage crisis and the drop in home
values, wiping out equity many families
counted on. But incomes and stock-
based retirement accounts fell, too. In
the 18 months since the Fed completed
its survey, home prices have continued
to fall in many cities, while stocks rose
and then fell back to nearly the same
level.
Theres nothing in this report that
makes me feel good, says Alicia
Munnell, director of the Center for
Retirement Research at Boston College
and an economic ofcial in the Clinton
administration. Bubble-inated housing
wealth was a ction whose end should
have been expected, she said, but the
drop in incomes is especially troubling,
because it gives people even less exi-
bility and condence to save for the
future. There are signs of improvement,
but I think that everybody is scared.
Its not just plummeting wealth affect-
ing Americans financial psyche.
Incomes have been stagnating for years.
But until the bubble burst, lenders and
credit card companies gave consumers
freedom to borrow and spend. No more.
Americans were told they were much
wealthier than they really were and they
believed it, says Robert Manning,
author of the book Credit Card Nation
and an expert on consumer finance.
Now theyre kind of hearing theyre a
lot less wealthy then they believed
and theyre in denial.
In New York, Michael and Patricia
Jackson shared a bedroom made from a
walled-in front porch, in a house cut into
three cramped apartments. Then, on a
visit to Georgia in 2000, they drove past
spacious new homes and lawns in subdi-
visions promising affordability, and they
began to dream.
By the time they moved in to their
brick-face colonial in Marietta four
years later, even bigger dreams seemed
within reach. The house in the new
Hampton Chase neighborhood cost a lit-
tle more than $200,000 and values were
rising fast.
County appraisers recently valued the
Jacksons home at $166,000, but the
couple say it probably would bring no
more than $140,000. They are 11
months behind on their mortgage pay-
ments and, with penalties added, now
owe $245,000 on the house.
Americans hang on

NEW YORK Her nurse was show-
ered with almost $28 million in gifts,
including three Manhattan apartments,
two homes elsewhere and a $1.2 million
Stradivarius violin. Her doctors families
received more than $3 million in pres-
ents. A night nurse received a salary plus
money to cover her childrens school
tuition and to help buy two apartments.
Now the court-appointed ofcial over-
seeing copper heiress Huguette Clarks
estate wants all these gifts and more
back.
Saying the recipients manipulated the
reclusive multimillionaire into lavishing
largesse upon them during her long life,
public administrator Ethel J. Grifn is
trying to reclaim a whopping $37 mil-
lion for the $400 million estate.
Besides seeking an order for return of
those gifts, the administrator asked a
court last month to investigate whether a
hospital where Clark lived should have
to give back a $6 million painting by
French pre-Impressionist Edouard
Manet and whether the prominent
Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington
should have to return $250,000.
While clashes over who got what and
how during someones lifetime crop up
in many will ghts, the staggering size,
two-decade timeframe and uncommon
circumstances distinguish the dispute
surrounding Clarks gifts.
A court will likely have to reconstruct
the intentions and mental state of an
eccentric woman who died at 104 last
year, and discern whether manipulation
or gratitude was behind the gift-giving.
Another issue is how well Clark was
advised by her lawyer and her account-
ant. Both have come under scrutiny for
their management of her affairs.
Its like piecing together a puzzle or a
mystery, says Laura Stegossi, a
Philadelphia estates lawyer who isnt
connected to the Clark case.
The public administrators court
papers portray a frail, secluded Clark
exploited by a scheming retinue. But
recipients say Clark was a generous,
independent-minded woman who did
exactly what she wanted in enriching
people around her.

Facebook settles sponsored stories suit for $10M
Facebook is paying $10 million to settle a lawsuit over ads
that it called sponsored stories.
Facebooks service allowed companies to pay to retransmit
users activities to their friends pages. If a user clicked the
like button for a brand, the click might show up as a spon-
sored story on friends pages. The ads started in early 2011.
Some Facebook users sued, saying that Facebook used their
images for commercial activity. Facebook had argued that the
plaintiffs did not show they were hurt by the practice.
Court documents from late last week say a settlement has
been reached. Facebook attorney Michael Rhodes conrms
Sunday that its for $10 million, which will be given to chari-
ty. A judge still needs to approve the settlement.
Reuters rst reported details of the settlement.
Polls: Socialists win French parliament race
PARIS (AP) Three polling agencies are projecting that
French President Francois Hollandes Socialist Party has won
a solid majority of seats in the lower house of parliament.
The win will likely help Hollande pass tax hikes and spending
increases, and bolster him as he pushes other European leaders
to invest in stimulus programs to pull the region out of econom-
ic crisis. The TNS-Sofres, Ipsos and CSA agencies estimate that
the Socialists will have at least 307 seats in the 577-seat National
Assembly after Sundays second-round parliamentary elections.
Thats well over the 289 they needed for a majority, and means
they dont have to rely on far leftists to pass legislation.
The anti-immigrant National Front party is projected to win
one to four seats, its rst presence in parliament since the
1990s.

The biggest surprise for Burlingame Highs Jan Banquiles,
the Daily Journal Male Badminton Player of the Year, was not
that he nished second at the Central Coast Section tourna-
ment, but that he didnt win the title.
After dominating Peninsula Athletic League play, during
which he went undefeated without dropping a set, Banquiles
was pushed in the CCS tournament. He twice lost to
Saratogas Bryan Chow to nish second in the section.
I kind of expected to go through the PAL with no worries,
Banquiles said. I was looking forward more to CCS.
He lost his rst high school match of the year to Chow in
the winners bracket nal, which sent Banquiles to the losers
bracket nal. He beat Cupertinos Chelan Polu in three sets to
set up a rematch with Chow in the championship, where
Banquiles came up short in three sets.
I was actually disappointed and satised at the same time,
Banquiles said. I was kind of injured in the nals, but I tried
to do my best. My right knee started acting up. (But) I got a
higher place than last year. Last year, I got fourth.
Sal Banquiles, Burlingames badminton coach and Jans
father, was a little bit tougher on his son.
Actually, I was disappointed, the elder Banquiles said.
Because I wanted him to win (CCS). He beat that guy
(Chow) last year.
For Jan Banquiles, the high school season is merely fun. A
native of the Philippines, the Banquiles family moved to the
United States in 2008, where badminton is much lower on the
sports totem pole than it is in the Philippines.
I knew for a fact the U.S. doesnt have much of (a) bad-
minton (reputation). I heard from everyone it was a backyard
sport, Jan Banquiles said. I was shocked my school had a
team.

The future of Peninsula Athletic League girls badminton
looks pretty sweet. And that is thanks in large part to an
Aragon freshman who burst onto the scene in 2012 and took
the league and the section by storm.
Her name is Candy Zhang and few freshman have captured
the fascination of peers, coaches and opponents quite like her.
You just enjoy watching her because shes a very good
player, said Aragon head coach Linda Brown. Shes just
head and shoulders above all the players. During the season,
she would play with boys, shed play doubles teammates, the
coach from the other team and everybody, from both teams,
would just sit and watch her play. They knew they were see-
ing something you dont usually see at the high school level.
It appears that the great majority of Zhangs opponents in
2012 could do nothing but watch as she cruised through the
PAL regular season and then continued her coming-out party
at the Central Coast Section tournament where she, almost
laughably, captured rst place in girls singles.
For her efforts, Zhang is the Daily Journal Girls
Badminton Player of the Year.
I heard rumors that she was coming in from some of my
younger players that knew about her, Brown said of Zhangs
arrival to the Aragon campus. Of course, you hope they
know what theyre talking about. But when she stepped on the
court, you knew she was as good as people said she was. So
that was a nice surprise.
Zhangs reputation as one of the best junior national play-
ers had long been established. A quick browse through her
clubs website, Afnity Badminton in San Carlos, lists a slew
of accomplishments dating back to 2005 born in 1997, that
would mean Zhang was making waves before the turned 10.
Its not going to be an anomaly anymore, Brown said

SEATTLE The Giants couldnt have
asked for anyone else at the plate.
Melky Cabrera was up with the bases
loaded and one out. This time, the National
Leagues leading hitter couldnt come
through, striking out on three pitches.
While Cabrera failed, Justin Smoak didnt
for the Mariners in the bottom of the ninth,
hitting a one-out single off Javier Lopez to
give Seattle a 2-1 win over the Giants on
Sunday.
Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen walked
Pablo Sandoval on four pitches to load the
bases with one out in the ninth, bringing
Cabrera up. After fouling off the rst two fast-
balls, Cabreras foul tip of a fastball was hung
on to by catcher Miguel Olivo.
We had the right guy up, hes done it, San
Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. The
ninth inning was the difference. It was the
golden opportunity, but we didnt quite get it
done and they got the big hit.
Wilhelmsen (3-1) then got pinch-hitter Nate
Schierholtz to ground out to second to end his
most pressure-lled outing since recording his
rst career save June 5.
Holy cow, Wilhelmsen said. Got pretty
intense there for a little but, huh?
That allowed the opportunity for Smoak.
San Francisco reliever Sergio Romo (2-1)
gave up back-to-back singles to Kyle Seager
and Jesus Montero to open the ninth before
being replaced by Lopez. After pinch-hitter
Michael Saunders failed to bunt the runners
over, Smoak lined the game-winning single to

SAN FRANCISCO Webb Simpson won
the U.S. Open and put two more names into
the graveyard of champions.
Overlooked for so much of the week,
Simpson emerged on a fog-lled Sunday at
The Olympic Club with four birdies around
the turn and a tough chip out of a hole to the
right of the 18th green that he converted into
par for a 2-under 68.
He nished at 1-over 281, and it was enough
to outlast former U.S. Open champions Jim
Furyk and Graeme McDowell.
Furyk bogeyed two of his last three holes.
McDowell had a 25-foot birdie on the 18th to
force a playoff, but it never had a chance.
Oh, wow, Simpson said, watching from
the locker room.
Olympic is known as the graveyard of
champions because proven major winners
who were poised to win the U.S. Open have
always lost to the underdog. One of those was
Arnold Palmer in 1966, when he lost a seven-
shot lead on the back nine.
Perhaps it was only tting that the 25-year-
old Simpson went to Wake Forest on an
Arnold Palmer scholarship.

Arnold has been so good to me,
Simpson said. Just the other day, I
read that story and thought about it.
Hes meant so much to me and Wake
Forest. Hopefully, I can get a little
back for him and make him smile.
No one was beaming like Simpson,
who followed a breakthrough year on
the PGA Tour with his rst major.
No one was more disgusted than
Furyk, in control of the U.S. Open for
so much of the nal round until he
snap-hooked his tee shot on the par-5
16th hole to fall out of the lead for the
rst time all day, and was unable to
get it back. Needing a birdie on the
nal hole, he hit into the bunker. He
crouched and clamped his teeth onto
the shaft of his wedge. Furyk made
bogey on the nal hole and closed
with a 74, a nal round without a sin-
gle birdie.
McDowell, who made four bogeys
on the front nine, at least gave himself
a chance with a 20-foot birdie putt on
the 17th and a shot into the 18th that
had him sprinting up the hill to see
what kind of chance he had. The putt
stayed left of the hole the entire way,
and he had to settle for a 73.
McDowell shared second place
with Michael Thompson, who closed
with a 67 and waited two hours to see
if it would be good enough.
Tiger Woods, starting ve shots
behind, played the rst six holes in 6-
over par and was never a factor. He
shot 73.

Disappointing weekend
dooms Woods at Open
SAN FRANCISCO Tiger Woods tried his best to put a
positive spin on things, even when there was nothing positive
about his weekend.
Another opportunity lost. Another chance to win a major
championship gone.
For two rounds, Woods seemed to be in command in the
U.S. Open. Then came a weekend of frustration that ran his
winless streak in major championships to four years and
raised even more questions about his ability to win the titles
he used to take for granted.
He came into the nal round Sunday still contending he had
a chance at Olympic Club. Then he got off to a bogey-bogey-
double bogey start that took away any chance of him mount-
ing a charge up the leaderboard.

MIAMI Halfway to a title,
LeBron James shows no sign of let-
ting this one get away.
James had 29 points and 14
rebounds, and the Miami Heat took a
2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 91-
85 victory over the Oklahoma City
Thunder on Sunday night.
Dwyane Wade had 25 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists for the
Heat, who were in this same position
through three games last year, then
didnt win again against the Dallas
Mavericks.
James poor performance was part
of the problem then, but he seems on
top of his game this time. His 3-point-
er sent the Heat to the fourth quarter
with the lead, and he scored ve
straight Miami points when the Heat
were building just enough cushion to
hold off another late urry by the
Thunder.
Game 4 is Tuesday night.
Kevin Durant had 25 points for the
Thunder, but picked up his fourth foul
in the third quarter and had to go to
the bench when they had seemed to
have control of the game. Russell
Westbrook nished with 19 points.
The Heat survived their own fourth-
quarter sloppiness by getting enough
big plays from their Big Three.
James scored 30 and 32 points in
the rst two games, his two best nals
performances. He fell just shy of
another 30-point effort but reached
his 20 points for the 20th time this
postseason, two shy of Wades fran-
chise record set in 2006.
Its all about chemistry, James
said. We understand where we like
to get the ball, what we like to do in
close situations, and its good to see
us execute down the stretch. But more
importantly it was great to see we
were able to get stops. Thats where
the game is won and we did that.
Chris Bosh had 10 points and 11
rebounds for the Heat, who can win a
second title by winning the next two
games at home.
They seemed out of it when
Oklahoma City opened a 10-point
lead midway through the third. But
Durant went out, Thunder coach Scott
Brooks decided to sit Westbrook with
him, and the Heat charged into the
lead by the end of the period.
The Thunder had grabbed their last
lead at 77-76 on James Hardens bas-
ket with 7:32 left. James answered
with two free throws about 20 sec-
onds later, and the teams would trade
turnovers and stops over the next
couple of tense minutes.
Wade then converted a three-point
play, and another minute went by
before James powered to the basket,
Durant trying to get in position to
draw a charge but watching helpless-
ly as he picked up his fth foul.
James made the free throw for an 84-
77 advantage with 3:47 to play.
After another basket by James, the
Thunder had one last burst
havent they always in this series?
ripping off six straight points to get
within one before Bosh made a pair
of free throws with 1:19 to play.
Durant missed badly on a wild shot
attempt, and the Thunder missed
another chance when Westbrook was
off from behind the arc.
James hit a free throw for a four-
point lead with 16 seconds to go and
Wade added two to close it out.
Its very hard, James said. Both
teams are very active defensively and
both teams make it hard on one
another in the half court so when you
get stops you try to get early offense,
it always helps and we were able to
do that a little bit.
The series made its way from
Oklahoma City, where fans in blue
shirts lled every seat, to Miami,
where white shirts hung on empty
chairs just minutes before the tip.
The late arrivals in Oklahoma City
had been the Thunder players, who
fell into big early deficits and
acknowledged some rst-time nals
jitters in Game 1. Brooks said he
heard the cries to change his starting
lineup but said it never crossed his
mind.
The Thunder quickly fell behind
10-4 in this one after spotting the
Heat a 13-point lead in Game 1 and
getting clubbed into an 18-2 hole in
the opening minutes of Game 2.
They didnt let things get any worse
this time, playing the Heat even from
there and trailing 26-20 after one.
James, Wade and Bosh combined for
Miamis rst 18 points.
James and Wade had some daz-
zling drives in the second and Shane
Battier got free for a pair of 3-point-
ers in the nal 2 minutes, but the
Thunder stayed with them the entire
way, briey holding a three-point
lead.
Westbrooks 3-pointer with 2.3 sec-
onds left cut Miamis lead to 47-46.
Oklahoma City started to take con-
trol with a 14-2 run early in the third.
Durant had the rst four points,
Westbrook fooled the Heat with a
fake behind the back pass before in
for a layup, then Durant leaped over
James for a follow dunk before nail-
ing a jumper for a 60-51 lead with
6:55 left in the period.
But it was barely a minute later
when he drew his fourth foul, though
he appeared to make little or no con-
tract on Wades baseline drive, and
had to go to the bench. The Thunder
pushed the lead to 10 on Derek
Fishers four-point play, but the Heat
got right back in it when Battier and
then James Jones made all six free
throws after being fouled behind the
arc.
Brooks also pulled Westbrook
with 5 minutes left and left him out
the remainder of the period, leaving
the Thunder without their two best
players as they tried to hang onto the
lead.
They couldnt.
The Heat scored the nal seven of
the period, Wade making a turn-
around jumper and two free throws
before setting up James for a 3-point-
er that made it 69-67 headed to the
nal quarter.
Notes: Battier had made at least
four 3-pointers in three straight
games. The last player to make four
in four consecutive postseason games
was Orlandos Dennis Scott in 1995.
... Brooks, joking Sunday morning
about all the calls to change his line-
up: Its hard to take all the advice,
he said. Im only allowed three
bench assistant coaches.

left. A tense ninth inning nally set-
tled what starters Madison
Bumgarner and Felix Hernandez
could not. Each were dominant.
Bumgarner allowed just three hits
in his eight innings. He struck out
four and walked one, retiring 18
consecutive batters at one point.
I felt good after the rst couple
innings, Bumgarner said. I started
off a little slow, but pretty much was
still able to make pitches.
Everything felt pretty good.
Hernandez, who had been strug-
gling, threw seven innings, allowed
one run, struck out seven and walked
one.
He tinkered with his mound stance
during his bullpen work earlier in the
week, trying to nd a remedy for his
recent woes. Hernandezs ERA was
6.36 over his previous six starts, dur-
ing which he was 1-4.
Yet, a bumpy rst ensued.
Hernandez escaped the rst allowing
just one run, despite three hits and a
walk. Sandoval, Cabrera and Angel
Pagan singled. Pagans hit landed just
on the outeld grass to score Sandoval.
Hector Sanchez ew out to center
with the bases loaded to end the inning
on Hernandezs 30th pitch.
He and Bumgarner cruised to the
late innings before finally being
challenged.
Brandon Crawford led off the sev-
enth with the first hit against
Hernandez since the third inning.
He was thrown out when Emmanuel
Burriss bunt was scooped up and
thrown to second by catcher Miguel
Olivo. Hernandez dove to his stom-
ach to avoid Olivos throw and
Olivo ended up on the ground a cou-
ple feet away from him after tum-
bling on the follow through.
Hernandez struck out Sandoval with
his 113th pitch to end the threat.
Bumgarner walked Dustin Ackley
with one out in the eighth to end a
streak of 18 consecutive retired.
Brendan Ryan followed with a sin-
gle before Bumgarner navigated out
of trouble by getting a groundout
from Ichiro Suzuki and striking out
Franklin Gutierrez.
GIANTS
OAKLAND Bartolo Colon
elded a third-inning bunt and felt a
sharp pain on his right side. He
knew right away he was nished for
the day.
It felt bad, the Oakland pitcher
said Sunday following a 2-1 loss to
the San Diego Padres. I had the
same thing on my other side in 1999
with Cleveland and missed 28
days.
Colon, who will have an MRI on
Monday, lasted two-plus innings
the teams shortest start of the year.
He could become the seventh
Athletics pitcher to spend time on
the disabled list this season.
Its tough to be without him, but
hell be back as soon as he can,
second baseman Jemile Weeks said.
Hell be ready to go when he does
come back.
Weeks struck out against San
Diego closer Huston Street with
runners at the corners in the ninth,
ending Oaklands season-best ve-
game winning streak. Jonny Gomes
had three hits for the As.
To not come through, or at least
put the ball in play, is frustrating,
Weeks said. Its frustrating to
somehow swing through a hittable
fastball. I dont do that very often.
Street got four outs for his eighth
save in eight chances. Clayton
Richard (4-7) scattered ve singles
over 7 2-3 innings to earn his second
consecutive win.
He threw a great game, Padres
manager Bud Black said. He mixed
in enough sliders, change (and)
curveballs to keep them honest. But
it was all about the fastball in good
spots, throwing strikes and working
fast.
Everth Cabrera scored on a
groundout in the second and the
Padres tacked on an insurance run in
the ninth to salvage the nale of
their nine-game road trip.
Oakland had two runners on in the
second, fourth and sixth but Richard
worked out of trouble each time to
win for the second time in eight
road starts this season.
(Richards) ball was running
quite a bit, whether it was cutting or
running, As manager Bob Melvin
said. He made good pitches. Early
on it was tough to see good swings.
That shows his ball had late move-
ment.
Street, the former Oakland closer,
struck out Brandon Inge to end the
eighth and had to pitch of a jam in
the ninth after giving up an RBI sin-
gle to Coco Crisp.
It was a tough afternoon all
around for the As.
After scoring 42 runs in the previ-
ous ve games, Oakland managed
only one and might have lost
another starting pitcher to injury.
Colon (6-7) pitched two hitless
innings before allowing Cabreras
single in the third.
Padres beat As 2-1

He did nd out, however, that there is a group of players
who take the game seriously and many of those players were
in the CCS tournament.
Jan Banquiles comes from a badminton family. Both his
father and mother played at the highest levels in the
Philippines and it was only natural for Jan Banquiles to follow
in his parents footsteps.
Actually, its in the genes, Sal Banquiles said. [My wife
and I] always played. He came over and he liked it. I didnt
force him to play. When he was 6, he was just trying to hit the
bird. At 7, he started training. At 8, he was a champion.
Said Jan Banquiles: I dont even remember when I started
(playing).
Since arriving in the States, Jan Banquiles has quickly made
a name for himself on the national badminton scene. He was
the top-ranked player in the under-17 division and he is cur-
rently in the top-10 in the under-19 division.
Given his stature on the national scene, Jan Banquiles does-
nt worry if he never wins a CCS title. He knows there are big-
ger sh to fry.
I dont really mind if I lose next year. Its high school, Jan
Banquiles said. There are bigger tournaments out there, like
nationals, which Im playing next month.
JAN
about young, talented players making
early splashes on their respectively high
school teams. Its going to be some-
thing you see as badminton continues to
develop as a sport, especially in this
area.
And so, while physically Zhang isnt
daunting, her game is gigantic. So much
so, she went the entire PAL season
undefeated. And by undefeated we
mean she didnt drop a set.
Badminton is a sport where you play
with the team for the season, then you
got to CCS later in the year and play as
individuals, Brown said. She managed
to help out both the team and step up
and do what she needed to do later for
the individual competition. She helped
her teammates out by coming to prac-
tice, working and helping to make them
better. She was denitely better than
what I thought she was going to be.
The question mark heading into the
CCS playoffs revolved around Zhangs
youth. But as it turned out, that question
mark was only there for advocate pur-
poses. Zhang, even as a freshman, did
not inch once.
It didnt seem like she was very
stressed about it, Brown said. At that
point, its her getting there and doing her
job. As long as she played her game, she
wouldnt have any problem which
she didnt.
Zhang defeated Crystal Springs
Uplands Schools Tiffany Xi in the
nals, 15-4, 15-2. It was the second time
in the tournament Zhang beat Xi. The
two met in the second round as well,
with Zhang coming away with a 15-4,
15-8 win. In the quarternals, she blast-
ed Los Gatos Demi Chang 15-1, 15-2,
and dominated Cupertinos Amy Ran
15-1, 15-3 in the seminals.
I think for her CCS is very easy,
Brown said. She goes to play in inter-
national competitions which I think are
much tougher. This is just, kind of a fun
tournament for her. Its a challenge, but
no one is CCS tested her or pushed her
very hard.
It appears Zhang is looking interna-
tionally to nd true competition. Her
goal is to make the 2016 Olympic team
and is currently in China training.
According to Brown, shell be there all
summer and come back for her sopho-
more year at Aragon.
Shes (a) national level (talent),
Shes that good, Brown told the Daily
Journal after her win at the CCS play-
offs. She gets out there and shes
smooth. There is no effort. It just hap-
pens. Shes efcient. She sets people up.
Its amazing to watch.
CANDY
Tomlinson to call it quits after 11 NFL seasons
SAN DIEGO LaDainian Tomlinsons brilliant NFL
career will ofcially end when he ceremoniously rejoins the
San Diego Chargers for a day.
The Chargers said Sunday that Tomlinson, who was the
NFL MVP in 2006 with San Diego and is the fth-leading
rusher in league history, will re-sign with the team on
Monday and then announce his retirement.
Tomlinson was drafted in the rst round by San Diego in
2001 and became one of the biggest stars in team history,
helping revive the Chargers after the devastating Ryan Leaf
years and turning them into a force in the AFC West. He spent
the rst nine years of his career in San Diego. He played the
last two seasons with the New York Jets.
Tomlinson won the MVP in 06, when he set NFL single-
season records with 31 touchdowns, including 28 rushing,
and 186 points. He ran for a career-high 1,815 yards that year,
giving him the rst of two straight league rushing titles.

OMAHA, Neb. Florida State coach
Mike Martin gured his team would
have to put in a hard afternoons work in
the heat to beat Stony Brook and stay
alive in the College World Series.
It turned out to be no sweat at all.
The Seminoles used shortstop Cole
Peragines throwing error to fuel a six-
run third inning and end Stony Brooks
surprise appearance in the CWS with a
12-2 victory on Sunday.
It was something that I wasnt
expecting, Martin said. It certainly
was a great lift for our team. And if Im
not mistaken, we got them all with two
outs. Thats something that you just
credit the young men for having great
at-bats and getting it done.
Justin Gonzalez and Devon Travis
homered to help the Seminoles build an
early 9-0 lead against the CWS rst-
timers from Long Island. FSU (49-16)
rebounded from a 4-3, 12-inning loss to
Arizona on Friday and scored at least 12
runs for the third time in four games.
Stony Brook (52-15) stunned the col-
lege baseball world by upsetting six-
time national champion LSU in a three-
game super regional to reach the CWS.
But the Seawolves were beaten 9-1 by
UCLA on Friday and outscored 21-3 in
their two games in Omaha.
Its a hard loss, third baseman
William Carmona said, but I look back
on the season and I think we did what no
one thought we could ever do, what
everyone thought was basically impossi-
ble. We made it happen somehow, and
Ill never forget that.
Florida St. ousts Stony Brook from CWS
LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles
Dodgers won a game in which Andre
Ethier struck out his rst three times up
and made up for it with three Gold Glove-
caliber catches in right eld. They had a
sacrice y taken away on an appeal play,
then tied the score in the ninth with one
that counted against a closer who had-
nt blown a save all season.
And to top it off, Dee Gordon hit a
game-ending single in the 10th after
failing to bunt a runner over in a key sit-
uation the previous inning. It all added
up to a 2-1 victory over the Chicago
White Sox on Sunday in the rubber
game of an interleague series between
division leaders.
We just grinded it out today and were
able to come through in the end, Tony
Gwynn Jr. said. It was a bunch of guys
who did it. It was good to see Dee come
up big like that after he missed the bunt.
He was pretty down after that.
Gwynn lined a one-out triple under
the glove of a diving Jordan Danks as he
charged the ball in left field. Matt
Treanor followed with a hard grounder
to second baseman Gordon Beckham
with the ineld in, forcing Gwynn to
stay put. Bobby Abreu was intentionally
walked and Gordon lined a single to left
against Matt Thornton (2-5), whose wild
pitch in the eighth inning of Fridays
series opener let in the decisive run.
Dodgers beat White Sox 2-1 in 10 innings
Sports brief
DATEBOOK 17
I
f you are the kind of owner who leaves
behind your dogs poop pile every now
and then, your days could be numbered.
You could be outed, CSI-style. Property man-
agers, homeowners associations, condos and
apartment complexes across the nation tired
of seeing uncollected waste are using a serv-
ice that will collect stray poops, then use
DNA technology to match them with the
guilty party. The companys name you
gotta love this is PooPrints. And, these
people love picking up poop, mainly because
they get paid. The cost for collecting and test-
ing the uncollected poop is about $80 per
pile, which is more than covered by an indi-
vidual dog owners ne ($150 seems to be the
going rate). This kind of DNA matching is
only possible when residents rst agree to
submit their dogs DNA to keep on le; many
are more than willing to do this to move into
a coveted pet-friendly complex or residence.
When the poop is tested, results are specic.
Dont worry, I wont get gross here. The test-
ing wont simply show that the poop came
from a big sporting breed. It will nger the
Labradoodle in apartment 4A in a way that
OJs Dream Team couldnt dispute. And, this
kind of technology creates an effective deter-
rent. So effective, that some complexes never
even have to contact the testing company.
Now, all of this may seem silly. Why cant
people pick up their dogs poop? Most people
do when they know others are watching, but
will let it slide when no one else is around.
Dont be that guy! Carry a few poop bags on
all your walks. Pick up even when no one is
watching. And, dont be afraid to pick up a
stray poop every now and then. You can earn
good karma points and prevent a few irre-
sponsible owners from giving all dog owners
a bad rep.

LOS ANGELES Zoo animals remain
hot at the box ofce. Singing stars and Adam
Sandler are not.
Ben Stiller and his voice co-stars of
Madagascar 3: Europes Most Wanted held
on to the No. 1 spot again, with $35.5 million
for the animated sequels second weekend in
domestic theaters.
Studio estimates Sunday put Ridley Scotts
sci- adventure Prometheus at No. 2 again
with $20.2 million.
Madagascar 3 and Prometheus held off
two under-achieving newcomers. The star-
studded musical Rock of Ages, whose cast
includes Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones
and Alec Baldwin, opped at No. 3 with $15.1
million.
Sandlers Thats My Boy bombed with
$13 million, the worst showing for one of his
broad comedies since the mid-1990s. Thats
My Boy came in at No. 5, behind the $13.8
million for Snow White & the Huntsman, a
film thats been out for three weekends
already.
Sure, we would have liked to have done
more, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at
Sony, which released Thats My Boy and
most of Sandlers past movies. But youve
got to give it to Adam. He mixes it up. This is
a really off-the-wall comedy.
Thats My Boy stars Sandler as a guy who
became a eeting teen celebrity after getting
his seventh-grade teacher pregnant and now is
a middle-aged loser trying to reconnect with
his son (Andy Samberg).
As with most Sandler movies, the reviews
were bad, but that usually does not stop his
audience of young males from showing up.
The R rating for Thats My Boy may have
cut into the movies business, prohibiting
those under 17 from seeing it without an adult.
Sandlers comedies usually are rated PG-13.
But Sandler has plenty of fans in their late
teens and 20s, and that crowd had little inter-
est in Thats My Boy.
Among Sandlers mainstream live-action
comedies, it was the worst debut since 1996s
Happy Gilmore, which played in far fewer
theaters than Thats My Boy and came as
Sandler was just climbing to stardom. And fac-
toring in todays higher admission prices,
Thats My Boy sold fewer tickets than
Happy Gilmore.
Some of Sandlers handful of comic dramas
and other more serious movies did less busi-
ness than Thats My Boy. But even his 2000
bomb Little Nicky opened bigger, with
$16.1 million in its rst weekend.
Sandler has been one of Hollywoods stead-
iest earners since the late 1990s, with hits such
as The Longest Yard, Anger Management,
Big Daddy and Grown-ups opening with
more than $40 million and becoming $100
million hits.
Sony remains high on Sandler, backing his
upcoming animated comedy Hotel
Transylvania, along with Grown-ups 2.
Its a good business to be in, the Adam
Sandler business, Bruer said.
Warner Bros. had its own dud with Rock of
Ages, adapted from the stage show built
around 1980s rock hits and featuring an
ensemble that includes Cruise, Zeta-Jones,
Baldwin, Julianne Hough and Mary J. Blige.
Dan Fellman, the studios head of distribu-
tion, was not ready to pull the plug on the
movie, saying he hoped it might hang on in
subsequent weekends. Rock of Ages drew
mostly older, female crowds, an audience that
does not necessarily rush out to a movie over
opening weekend.
Musicals, there have been a couple in the
summer like Hairspray and Mamma Mia!,
that tend to have good holding power as count-
er-programming. Were hoping we can get
back on track, Fellman said.
Rock of Ages added $4.1 million in a
handful of overseas markets.
Between Rock of Ages and Thats My
Boy, Hollywood fell back into a pattern that
persisted at the start of summer season in May
as new movies debuted weakly, unable to dis-
lodge strong holdovers.

Northern California man
on freighter after rescue
SAN FRANCISCO A Northern California man who was
rescued from his sinking sailboat off the coast of Mexico is
spending Fathers Day on a freighter bound for Panama, but his
wife is hoping to at least see him in time for their 23rd wedding
anniversary.
The U.S. Coast Guard says Max Young, of Sacramento, was
sailing alone late Tuesday about 40 miles west of La Playa,
Mexico when his 50-foot boat was hit by a whale, lost its steer-
ing and started taking on water.
The impact from the collision knocked out sailboats steering
and started ooding the boat.
Youngs wife, Debra Young, who has been able to talk to her
husband while hes on board the merchant ship as it makes its
way to Panama, says hes not expected to make it back to
Sacramento until Monday or Tuesday of next week, a day or
two after their anniversary.

gives us some breathing room, said
Supervisor Don Horsley.
However, the failures of taxes on
commercial parking and hotel occupan-
cy leaves a $2 million hole in the budg-
et next year.
County Manager John Maltbie is rec-
ommending using $1 million in extra
public safety taxes and reducing capital
expenditures by $1 million.
The $2 million gap is a really mod-
est amount to bridge, said Supervisor
Dave Pine.
Supervisor Carole Groom said she
understands voters reticence for new
taxes but wants to thank those who sup-
ported them.
But the voters have spoken and we
just have to tighten our belts more,
Groom said.
The $1.836 billion recommended
budget includes assumptions about new
jail costs and other hefty capital proj-
ects like renovating one of two office
towers purchased by the county to
escape pricey leases.
The budget is being balanced with
$40 million in excess Educational
Revenue Augmentation Funds rather
than reserves. ERAF is extra property
tax returned to counties.
However, the budget is not immune
from further cuts and layoffs.
Maltbie announced last month that
234 filled positions are on the chopping
block with nearly all related to
Burlingame Long-Term Care, the resi-
dential care facility whose lease is not
being renewed as a county cost-savings
measure. Those spots are filled and the
eliminated jobs, taken with those
already eliminated, push the total gone
to more than 700 over the last four
years. That represents one-sixth of the
county s workforce. Another 27 will
also go if the supervisors Tuesday agree
to a transition plan for the facility that
does not include opening more beds at
the San Mateo Medical Center.
The budget up for discussion this
week also calls for cutting $1.1 million
from Information Services, $1.1 mil-
lion by eliminating a fire engine com-
pany at Tower Road and $2.7 million in
San Mateo Medical Center cutbacks
unrelated to Burlingame Long-Term
Care.
These proposals, along with specific
suggestions from each department, will
be up for discussion during four days of
budget hearings this week. The Board
of Supervisors will tentatively adopt a
budget Thursday afternoon but final
passage wont happen until late
September.
The budget is an effort for balance
during the fiscal year but also continues
a five-year, multi-pronged attack
against a structural deficit projected to
hit $41.1 million in fiscal year 2016-
2017.
However, this years budget is con-
sidered a breather from the drastic cuts
of the past, giving departments a chance
to focus on sustainable balancing plans.
Pine doesnt anticipate any big fire-
works over proposals during the week
of discussion as the proposed budget is
pretty close to what Maltbie projected
during preliminary hearings in March.
In his budget message to the board,
Maltbie concedes economic recovery
has been slow and concludes the coun-
ty must remain vigilant and true to its
traditions of innovation and fiscal
restraint.
The proposed budget is higher than
last years $1.756 billion budget which
Maltbie attributes to a number of capi-
tal projects, including $44.2 million for
the first planning and construction
phase of a 576-bed jail and $9.7 million
for tenant and seismic improvements to
Circle Star South which will house
county departments including 911 dis-
patch.
The budget also adds in millions of
dollars in additional funding including
$2.7 million in public safety realign-
ment, $3.4 million to provide sheriffs
patrol services to the city of Millbrae
and $1.5 million in negotiated salary
and benefit increases. The last addition
is primarily step increases for certain
employees and negotiated raises for
nurses.
The entire recommended budget is
available at www.smcgov.org/budget
and the County Managers Office, 400
County Center, Redwood City.

ate agreements with its labor groups,
however, and will need to use reserves
to temporarily close the shortfall,
according to the staff report. The city is
adding an additional $3.3 million to its
reserves, however, which should pro-
vide a cushion for balancing the budg-
et, according to the city managers
report.
The total city budget for FY 2012-13
is $147.6 million. The general fund
budget, which supports critical services
such as fire, police, parks and recre-
ation and public works, is set at $82.1
million, up from last years $78.3 mil-
lion general fund budget.
The citys capital improvement pro-
gram budget is set at $28.6 million next
year, up by $21.8 million compared to
the FY 2011-12 budget, primarily from
funding for sewer capital improve-
ments, park improvements and a $2.9
million contribution from the general
fund, according to the staff report.
The economy is slowly getting bet-
ter and we are making good progress
on reducing the structural deficit,
Councilman Jack Matthews said.
Matthews looks to the city to start
maintaining and repairing its streets
and roads a little better these next two
years as the service has been reduced
heavily in the past two years.
Weve been losing the battle with
streets. We need to do some catch up
on improving them, Matthews said.
The two-year business plan also calls
for the addition of 3.88 full-time equiv-
alent positions to the city dependent on
labor negotiations.
Three positions will be added to the
police department depending on how
labor negotiations go with their bar-
gaining unit, Matthews said.
Deputy Mayor David Lim said the
proposed business plan is an improve-
ment over previous years since no big
cuts are being sought.
He praised the citys workers for
agreeing to labor concessions in past
years to help reduce the deficit and
department heads for finding efficien-
cies from within.
The city is making do with less,
Lim said. The labor groups have made
great sacrifices as we adjust to a new
economic norm and reality.
The business plan also calls for fund-
ing a San Mateo Area Chamber of
Commerce program called the EDGE,
Economic Development Growth
Enterprise, for up to $100,000 a year
the next two years dependent on
matching funds.
The EDGE would develop, maintain
and provide the city a vacant/available
space report for existing office, retail
and commercial properties citywide
and would update the report monthly.
The EDGE would identify businesses
in each sector that may be interested in
locating in San Mateo or, if already in
San Mateo, would be interested in
expanding their business in the city,
according to the staff report.
A selected number of the businesses
would be contacted and visited each
month jointly by representatives of the
EDGE and city.
The EDGE would also identify phys-
ical sites within the citys rail corridor
that are currently underdeveloped and
that would be opportunities for private
development, according to the staff
report.
The four largest general tax sources
are property tax, sales tax, property
transfer tax and hotel tax, comprising
about 70 percent of the citys total rev-
enue.
Property tax is expected to increase 2
percent in FY 2012-13, strictly on pace
with inflation, according to the staff
report.
Property transfer tax is hovering
around $4.5 million annually, far below
the high periods of more than $10 mil-
lion annually about five years ago,
according to the staff report.
Sales tax is up by about 11 percent
and hotel occupancy tax revenue is also
up by double digits, according to the
staff report.
The city now has 519.58 merit posi-
tions and a total of 629.16 full-time
equivalent positions, which includes
part-timers and overtime cost, accord-
ing to the Finance Directors office.

Closing remarks and approval
MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When in a position of
authority, you should be extremely careful not to
abuse the powers of offce. If you do, things will work
against you, and you wont get the support you need
from others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Resurrecting an issue
that angered you in the past regarding a person
whos involved in your immediate plans could cause
you unnecessary problems. Let sleeping dogs lie.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Most fnancial affairs tend to
be rather uncertain right now, so if you have anything
in this area going on, it might be best not to involve
any of your friends. Youll be blamed if they end up
in the red.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because you always
want things to be perfect, sometimes youre inclined
to do things the hard way instead of taking the more
effcient way out. This might be one of those days.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Regardless of your good
intentions, its best to stay out of affairs that dont
concern you. Instead of providing help, you could
muddy the waters further.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It isnt such a good idea
to get someone you know socially to intervene on your
behalf in a business matter. It could cause trouble for
him or her, and cause awkwardness for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make certain that
youre diplomatic and fair in handling those you have
some authority over. If you single out one person to
blame and ignore the others, there will be trouble.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be organized in the
ways you intend to fulfll your ambitions. Dont give
up a known value in hopes of getting something of
uncertain or mysterious worth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Suppress any of
your possessive tendencies for the time being. If you
discover youve behaved badly, the fuss you make to
correct matters likely wont soothe the feelings of the
people you hurt.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Before extending to a
friend an impromptu invitation to come to your place,
check with the family frst to make sure they havent
made conficting plans.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In order to perform at
your best, handle things one step at a time. Trying to
rush a job is likely to greatly reduce your effciency
and slow you down in the long run.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont allow a contest
to form between your prudent judgment and your
extravagant impulses. If you feel pulled in those two
directions, compromise must be the watchword

A Health Center
Dedicated to Severe
Disc Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health Center,
Ive created an entire facility dedicated
to patients with severe disc conditions
that have not responded to traditional
care. My revolutionary, Crossroads
Method, provides a very high success
rate to patients with serious back, neck,
leg and armpain even when all else has
failed. This FDAcleared; non-surgical
treatment allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s) by
reversing internal pressure and enabling
your disc(s) to heal fromthe inside out.
We succeed where other treatments have
failed by removing the pressure that is
causing pain to your disc(s) and nerves
without drugs, injections, invasive
surgery or harmful side effects.

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc decompression
is considered by many doctors to be
the most advanced and successful
non-invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or armpain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and core
strength, balance and posture. This
results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no
side effects and no recovery time is
required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy and
surgery have failed The Crossroads
Method has shown dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!

LOS ANGELES Rodney
King, the black motorist whose
1991 videotaped beating by Los
Angeles police officers was the
touchstone for one of the most
destructive race riots in the nations
history, was declared dead early
Sunday after being pulled from the
bottom of his swimming pool. He
was 47.
Kings ancie called 911 at 5:25
a.m. to report that she found him in
the pool at their home in Rialto,
Calif., police Lt. Dean Hardin said.
Ofcers arrived to nd King in
the deep end of the pool and pulled
him out. King was unresponsive,
and ofcers began CPR until para-
medics arrived. He was taken to the
hospital, where he was pronounced
dead at 6:11 a.m., police said.
Police Capt. Randy De Anda said
King had been by the pool through-
out the early morning and had been
talking to his fiancee, who was
inside the home at the time. A state-
ment from police said the prelimi-
nary investigation indicates a
drowning, with no signs of foul play.
Investigators will await autopsy
results to determine whether drugs
or alcohol were involved, but De
Anda said there were no alcoholic
beverages or paraphernalia found
near the pool.
Authorities didnt identify the
ancie. King earlier said he was
engaged to Cynthia Kelley, one of
the jurors in the civil rights case that
gave King $3.8 million in damages.
De Anda said King had another
visitor that night but that person had
left earlier.
A neighbor of King said that
around 3 a.m. she heard music and
people talking next door and what
sounded like someone who was
very emotional.
It seemed like someone was real-
ly crying, like really deep emo-
tions, said Sandra Gardea, 31, a
dental hygienist instructor who
recently moved in. And it just got
louder and louder. Everybody woke
up. Even the kids woke up.
She described the sound as like
moaning, like in pain. Like tired or
sad, you know?
Gardea said this went on for some
time and then stopped.
I heard someone say, OK,
Please stop. Go inside the house. ...
We heard quiet for a few minutes.
Then after that we heard a splash in
the back. And thats when a few
minutes later we see the cops arrive
and everyone arrive and we see him
being taken in a gurney.
The 1992 riots, which were set off
by the acquittals of the ofcers who
beat King, lasted three days and left
55 people dead, more than 2,000
injured and swaths of Los Angeles
on re. At the height of the vio-
lence, King pleaded on television:
Can we all get along?
King, a 25-year-old on parole
from a robbery conviction, was
stopped for speeding on a darkened
street on March 3, 1991. He was on
parole and had been drinking he
later said that led him to try to evade
police.
Four Los Angeles police ofcers
hit him more than 50 times with
their batons, kicked him and shot
him with stun guns, leaving King
with numerous skull fractures, a
broken eye socket and facial nerve
damage.
A man who had quietly stepped
outside his home to observe the
commotion videotaped most of it
and turned a copy over to a TV sta-
tion. It was played over and over for
the following year, inaming racial
tensions across the country.
Rodney King, key figure in LA riots, dies at 47
Knowles Science Teaching Foundation fel-
lowship. The $175,000 investment over ve
years means Graves, originally from Belmont,
will take part in a multi-layered program that
includes professional and leadership develop-
ment, teaching tools and materials and access
to like-minded professionals.
Training and a support system were both
important aspects of the fellowship for Graves
who currently lives in Colorado with his part-
ner Samantha Spaley. Hell begin teaching at
Paonia High School in the fall taking on ninth
grade physical science, advanced biology,
physics, environmental science and, in some
years, chemistry and electives.
I believe in this transformative power of
education and, as a science educator, I hope to
help my students transform themselves into
people who can think critically about the
world around them. Thats one of my
major goals. I feel like I had great teachers
who transformed me and the way I thought
about the world around me, Graves said.
Unlike in California, high schools are often
spread out in the more rural part of Colorado
leaving fewer science colleagues with whom
Graves can collaborate. Hes looking forward
to having a network to work with as he grows
a program that embraces the natural wonders
that surround his students.
Graves has challenged himself to enjoy
nature while studying science and often strug-
gled with whether to remain in the eld or be
in the classroom. One simple realization made
that decision easy.
I want to be interacting with people, said
Graves.
Graves holds bachelors and masters
degrees in earth systems science from
Stanford University, where he was also the
Head Start teachers assistant for the earth
systems department and a volunteer at
Stanfords Biological Preserve and the
Eastside College Preparatory. It was working
with students that inspired Graves to really go
for a career in it. The programs put on were
often one-week interactive courses. Graves
hoped to create such interactive curriculum
that he could use through a full school year.
Graves also wanted to give students the
opportunity to see the world around them as a
place to learn.
He has led or taken part in numerous envi-
ronmental education initiatives with youth in
National Parks. He has worked on trail crews
in Denali National Park and Lake Clark
National Park in Alaska; taught in the Golden
Gate National Recreation Area where he
worked with students on inquiry-based sci-
ence projects in the outdoors; and continues to
lead high school volunteers in trail construc-
tion projects with the Student Conservation
Association. Graves experiences in the class-
room and with eld-based science instruction
led him to present his ndings at the North
American Association of Environmental
Education conference.
Before putting his ideas into action, Graves
will spend the summer creating the curriculum.
