OBAMA SAYS MARTIN 'COULD HAVE BEEN ME' YEARS AGO
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Mills High School parents and students
are working to reverse the College Boards
decision to invalidate tests in 11 Advanced
Placement subjects taken this May because
of seating irregularities.
The decision, disclosed Wednesday,
affected more than 200 students and resulted
in more than 600 AP exams being canceled
because students tested in multiple subjects.
The College Board composes, sells and dis-
tributes the tests that yield high school stu-
dents college credits.
It is unclear what the specic irregulari-
ties were, but Kirk Black, San Mateo Union
High School District associate superintend-
ent, said it appears that one student com-
plained to Educational Testing Service, the
College Boards security provider that
administers the AP Exams, back in May
about seating arrangements that violated
protocol. Black said the student didnt noti-
fy Mills or the district, but ETS directly.
The letter, addressed from Mills Assistant
Principal Valerie Arbizu and dated July 12,
informed APtest takers that they would need
to sign up for retests by July 24. Retests
would run from Aug. 5-12.
Recent graduate Jad Thawi will be attend-

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Dozens of people gathered under
coastal cypress trees in the obscured
moonlight Thursday to watch as a group
of musicians, poets, singers and dancers
put on one of the most unique shows to
ever grace the California coast.
For the past two weeks, the soothing
sounds of the shore break have been
accompanied by a surprising tone, a
piano. Twelve once-abandoned pianos
have been given a second life as they
were exhaustingly hauled to various
locations along the Half Moon Bay
coast.
Sunset Piano was established by
Half Moon Bay artist Mauro
Ffortissimo. In February, he was
inspired to install a grand piano on the
bluffs near his Kelly Beach Park home
where he played at sunset every night
for two weeks and titled his recital
Opus One.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
One of two people charged with human
trafcking for allegedly prostituting four
women, including one underage girl, at a
South San Francisco motel will stand trial
on the felony count.
Maria Carolina Jiminez, 26, has pleaded
not guilty but was held to answer on the
charge after waiving a preliminary hearing
on the evidence. Co-defendant Sate Stallone
Jones, 26, moved to continue his prelimi-
nary hearing and he returns to court Aug. 27.
Both Jiminez and Jones, each of San
Francisco, were arrested
in mid-February at the La
Quinta Inn in South San
Francisco after being
alerted by a clerk whod
undergone training about
recognizing human traf-
cking. Aman later iden-
tied as Jones reportedly
dropped off two women
one night and two
women the next between Feb. 15 and Feb.
16.
The women reportedly told police the cou-
ple gave them illegal
drugs to keep them work-
ing all night and some-
times deprived them of
food. When the man
returned with a woman,
identied as Jiminez, to
collect the four others,
they were arrested.
Each defendant remain
in custody on $350,000
bail each. Jiminez returns to court Aug. 1 to
enter a Superior Court plea and possibly set
a trial date.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Aformer San Francisco police crime labo-
ratory technician avoided a prison sentence
Friday when a federal judge sentenced her to
one year of home connement and ve years
of probation for misdemeanor cocaine pos-
session.
Deborah Madden, 63, of San Mateo, told
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, Im not
proud of the way I ended my career. I ended it
in a shameful way.
I apologize to the people of San
Francisco and to the criminal justice sys-
tem, Madden said at the sentencing at the
federal courthouse in San Francisco.
Illston also ordered her to pay a $5,000
ne and perform 300 hours of community
service, but rejected prosecutors request for
a one-year prison sentence, the maximum
possible for the conviction.
What we have here is a
misdemeanor possession
case, the judge said.
Madden pleaded guilty
to the misdemeanor count
in March after two trials
in Illstons court on a
more serious felony
charge of obtaining
cocaine by deception or
fraud ended in mistrials
with hung juries in 2012
and January of this year.
Madden did not testify at the federal trials,
but in a taped interview used as evidence,
she admitted to police investigators in
2010 that she took trace amounts of cocaine
from her ofce in late 2009 and said she had
been trying to control an alcohol problem.
In her written plea agreement, she admit-
ted she knowingly possessed cocaine out-
side the scope of my employment within
San Francisco on Dec. 3, 2009, but did not
say where she possessed the drug.
Maddens actions and other problems at
the laboratory led to the temporary closure
of the drug analysis unit and the district
attorneys dismissal of hundreds of criminal
cases that depended on evidence analyzed
there.
Defense attorney Paul DeMeester contend-
ed in a sentencing brief that the drug labs
problems resulted from severe understafng
and management problems that preceded
Maddens actions.
He said in the brief that Madden has been
sober since she entered a drug recovery pro-
gram on Dec. 15, 2009, and now attends
Alcoholics Anonymous meetings ve or six
times a week. She is studying at the College
of San Mateo to earn a certicate as an alco-
hol and drug counselor, DeMeester wrote.
Illston commented, There certainly was a
lot of chaos caused in the wake of the dis-
covery of what shed done and shes respon-
sible for a substantial part of the chaos.

Distraught driver
in Belmont collision
A San Carlos woman was taken
to the hospital for evaluation
Wednesday evening after a reckless
drive through Belmont, which
ended in a collision.
At approximately 5:30 p.m.,
Belmont police received a report of
a reckless driver passing cars on
the wrong side of the road north on
Sixth Avenue near Ralston Avenue.
The vehicle, a Volkswagen sedan,
went west on Ralston Avenue
where, at one point, it reportedly
passed cars by driving on the side-
walk. The Volkswagen turned south
on Alameda de las Pulgas from
Ralston Avenue to Carlmont Drive,
where it attempted to turn right.
However, the vehicle took the turn
wide and stopped at the curb, nar-
rowly missing a parked car. The
driver then attempted to back up,
but collided with a Maserati sedan
that was eastbound on Carlmont
Drive, according to police.
Responding officers contacted
the driver of the Volkswagen, a 21-
year-old San Carlos woman, whose
name is being withheld. The driv-
er, who was unlicensed, was not
injured. She appeared to be suffer-
ing from some type of emotional
crisis and was transported to an
area hospital for evaluation. The
driver of the Maserati was not
injured in the collision, according
to police.
Local brief
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo police are asking the
public to help them identify a 50-
something man who led a 10-year-
old girl to a secluded part of a
bookstore and exposed himself to
her late last month.
The man approached the girl in
the childrens book section of
Barnes & Noble at 11 W. Hillsdale
Blvd. at roughly 3 p.m. June 23
and led her to another area where
he ashed and had inappropriate
physical contact, according to
San Mateo police.
Surveillance video captured an
image of the suspect who is
described as a white male in his
50s, approximately 6 feet tall and
wearing a shing hat, sunglasses
and tan cargo pants. He is also
heavy set and bald or balding. He
was seen getting into a dirty black
or gray four-door car parked in the
stores lot.
The reason
for the delay in
reporting this
crime, police
said, was that
the family did
not report it
right away.
Since receiving
the case, police
have been using every available
resource to solve it, said San
Mateo police Sgt. David Norris.
We are dedicated to pursuing
this investigation to bring the
perpetrator of this heinous crime
to justice, Norris said.
Anyone with information is
asked to contact the San Mateo
Police Department at either the
investigations bureau at 522-
7650, the secret witness hotline at
522-7676 or by anonymous email
at sanmateo@tipnow.org.

Two court-appointed doctors are split on
whether a woman was insane when she
allegedly clothed herself in a protective
layer of bubble wrap and attacked her
estranged husband with a knife and Taser in
their Redwood City business.
Defense attorney Geoff Carr wants a third
doctor to evaluate Laura Jean Wenke before
she goes to trial on attempted murder and
weapons charges, said Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Guidotti said the prosecution opposes a
third appointment and the matter was put
over to July 26 for a judges ruling.
Regardless of the doctors findings,
Wenkes dual pleas of not guilty and not
guilty by reason of insanity means she will
rst be tried and, if convicted, have a sec-
ondary trial on her mental state at the time of
the Sept. 15, 2011 attack.
On that day, Wenke allegedly arrived at the
family business, Wenke Construction, on
Laurel Street in Redwood City and parked a
truck in front of the ofce windows to block
the view of passersby. Inside, prosecutors
say she asked her husband to look up some-
thing on his computer and, as he worked, she
stunned and then stabbed him with a folding
knife several times in the neck and torso.
After her arrest, police reported she was
wearing a mechanics
jumpsuit and, underneath
the clothing, her torso
was swaddled in bubble
wrap, apparently as pro-
tection against being hit
herself. During a prelimi-
nary hearing, a police
ofcer said a to-do list
of activities related to the
crime was found inside
Wenkes purse.
Wenkes husband was hospitalized with
injuries to his lung, neck and chest, but later
released.
Prosecutors also contend that, aside from a
contentious custody battle with her husband,
Wenke stood to benet from $2 million in
life insurance if he died and was quite jealous
of his new girlfriend.
Carr has dismissed both claims as untrue.
Wenke actually began a jury trial in May
but, just days into jury selection, Judge
Stephen Hall declared a mistrial after Carr
indicated his clients intent to claim insani-
ty based on a defense-hired psychiatrists
late conclusion that she was mentally com-
promised at the time.
Wenke remains in custody without bail.

Obituaries

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Willy Cahill was diagnosed with polio at
age 7.
Doctor told me I would never walk again,
said Cahill.
He was just one of numerous children diag-
nosed with the crippling disease during World
War II. His father guaranteed him that he
would be out of the hospital in a year.
As his father had predicted, Cahill was able
to walk again after a year of message therapy
from Professor Henry S. Okazaki, his fathers
judo instructor who worked as a masseur for
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Since
then, he has made the most of his life.
Cahill, 77, has trained more than 1,200
national and international judo champions,
has coached for several Olympic teams and
was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame
as a judo instructor in 1975. Even with all
those accolades, Cahill says his biggest
achievement is seeing all of his students live
a better life for themselves through Judo,
something he himself has achieved. His for-
mer students have gone on to have successful
careers outside of the sport.
Cahill was born in Honolulu in 1935 to
John and Abbie Cahill, both professors and
founders of the American Judo and Jujitsu
Federation. In 1939, John Cahill opened his
rst dojo in Honolulu in which he taught both
judo and jujitsu. His family moved to
California in 1947, where they opened a judo
and jujitsu school in Daly City. Martial arts
for Cahill came naturally at a young age.
Coming to California
I started training in judo in Hawaii, but I
wasnt serious about it, Cahill said, adding it
wasnt until he came to California that he got
serious with the sport.
After the passing of his father, Cahill took
over his fathers dojo at the request of his
mother and moved the dojo to downtown San
Bruno in 1963.
That was a big shock when my father died,
because he was still young, Cahill said.
It was his father who made him the coach he
is today, because his dad pointed out what he
did right and wrong while keeping things in
perspective. According to Cahill, if someone
underperforms, theyre already upset with
themselves, so they dont need another per-
son hounding at their ear.
It is best they receive constructive criti-
cism, said Cahill. Judo translates to gentle
way and is very much a representation of the
man himself.
This is the philosophy that has elevated
Cahills Judo Academy to become one of the
most highly regarded dojos for more than 50
years. It has been the home to more than a
thousand local, national, international and
Olympic competitors and coaches.
He has had the privilege of coaching the
1984 and 1988 U.S. Olympic Judo teams and
two U.S. Paralympic judo teams, which
includes the 2000 team that won the gold
medal in Sydney, Australia.
This was the rst time in U.S.
Paralympics history a U.S. squad won gold
for Judo, Cahill said.
Four year later, Cahill and Ron C. Peck
would establish the Blind Judo Foundation, a
nonprot organization dedicated to helping
the blind and visually impaired compete in
the sport of Judo.
Lifetime achievement
In recognition of his lifelong commitment
to Judo, Willy Cahill along with Yoshihiro
Uchida received the Lifetime Achievement
Award from USA Judo at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel in Foster City July 19.
It was a real honor to be recognized for my
entire career, said Cahill.
It is an accumulation of what he and his
family have worked for, but nothing express-
es his accomplishments more so than his
Judo Academy. His dojos walls are decorated
with plaques and pictures of past and present
students, each with their own story to tell by
Cahill. His classroom is full of students old
and young, and Cahill can give a synopsis of
every one of them.
It has been a fun ride and I could not ask for
a better life than this, said Cahill. Doesnt
matter what age you are but how serious you
are in your endeavors. I have been fortunate to
have all my students follow this philoso-
phy.
The gentle way

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The driver accused of causing a
Colma crash that killed three pas-
sengers, including his girlfriend,
will learn in September if hell
stand trial on three counts of gross
vehicular manslaughter, drunk
driving and hit-and-run.
Paul Michael Anthony Diaz, 25,
has pleaded not guilty to the
charges which includes the allega-
tion of a prior misdemeanor drunk
driving conviction. On Friday,
Diaz was back in San Mateo
County Superior Court to set a
Sept. 26 preliminary hearing on
the evidence which will either free
him from custody or propel him
toward a criminal trial.
Diaz ed the May 27 morning
crash on Hillside Boulevard near
the Cypress Lawn Funeral Home
but surrendered to Daly City police
about ve hours later which left
authorities having to pinpoint his
blood alcohol level via a formula
rather than direct test.
Prosecutors say Diaz was speed-
ing in his Mustang on Hillside
Boulevard at 90-plus mph when he
crashed into the back of a Honda,
pushing it into a cemetery while he
lost control and smashed into a
retaining wall. The Mustang split
in two, ejecting and killing Ruvin
Abel Vazquez, 22, Jonathan Jade
Mouton, 21, and Rosa Maria Falla,
23, all of Daly City. Falla and Diaz
were dating and prosecutors say
Diaz approached her dead body after
the crash before running away.
The Hondas driver was not seri-
ously injured. Along with his 2009
DUI conviction, Diazs criminal
record includes robbery.
Diaz remains in custody on $1
million bail.
Hearing set in triple fatal hit-and-run crash
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The San
Diego County government ofcial
in charge of issuing marriage
licenses asked the state Supreme
Court on Friday to stop gay mar-
riages.
County clerk Ernest Dronenburg
Jr. urged the state high court to
immediately halt same-sex wed-
dings while it considers his legal
arguments that gay marriages
remain illegal in California
despite a U.S. Supreme Courts
decision widely regarded as
authorizing gay weddings.
Dronenburg asked for the halt
while the state Supreme Court con-
siders his petition, arguing that
the U.S. Supreme Court decision
applies only to the two couples
named in the original federal law-
suit, and to the clerks in Alameda
and Los Angeles counties where
the couples applied for marriage
licenses.
Dronenburg also argues that
county clerks arent bound by
orders from the governor, the state
attorney general and other state
ofcials to marry gay couples.
County clerks carry out their
duties, including the issuances of
marriage licenses, without super-
vision or control of the governor
or attorney general, Dronenburg
wrote in his petition. Indeed, no
statute requires county clerks to
report to the governor or attorney
general.
The state Supreme Court on
Monday refused a similar request
to immediately stop gay weddings
made by backers of Californias
Proposition 8, which banned
same-sex marriage in the state
when passed by voters in 2008.
The supporters have made the
same legal arguments as
Dronenburg.
The ling offers no new argu-
ments that could deny same-sex
couples their constitutionally
protected civil rights, state
Attorney General Kamala Harris
said. The federal injunction is
still in effect, and it requires all 58
counties to perform same-sex mar-
riages. No exceptions.
Harris filed written arguments
with the state Supreme Court last
week urging it to ignore the peti-
tions and take no action to impede
same-sex marriages.
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared
the way for gay marriages to
resume in the nations most popu-
lous state on June 28 by dismiss-
ing the backers appeal of a lower
court ruling that found the ban
unconstitutional. The high court
decided the backers lacked authori-
ty to defend Proposition 8 after
the governor and attorney general
refused to do so.
San Diego County clerk seeks end to gay marriages

California finds too few
inmates for early release
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Browns administration says in a
court ling that the state is falling
far short of meeting a demand from
federal judges to nd thousands of
inmates who could be released
from prison early without endan-
gering the public.
The judges are requiring the state
to free nearly 10,000 inmates by
the end of the year to ease prison
crowding as the best way to
improve treatment for sick and
mentally ill inmates. If other
methods fail, they ordered the state
to reach that level by releasing
offenders who are deemed unlikely
to commit new crimes.
However, the state said late
Thursday that it has identied only
about 1,200 inmates who could be
safely released.
More evacuations

IDYLLWILD Residents of
another 700 homes were advised to
retreat to safety on Friday as crews
ghting a wildre in the moun-
tains above Palm Springs grew
increasingly concerned about the
possibility of unstable weather

ple in Pine Cove, on the res
western ank, came in addition to

Barack Obama talks about the Trayvon Martin case in the press brieng
room at the White House.
By Jim Abrams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON House
Republicans voted Friday to dis-
mantle the troubled No Child Left
Behind law for evaluating
Americas students and schools,
saying states and local school dis-
tricts rather than Washington
should be setting rules for ensur-
ing that kids are getting good edu-
cations.
The legislation would eliminate
federally required testing of stu-
dents, which has been controver-
sial from the start. But the measure
passed with no Democratic sup-
port and drew a veto threat from
the Obama administration, which
said it would be a step backward
in efforts to better prepare chil-
dren for colleges and careers and to
bring improvements to low-per-
forming schools.
Democrats in the Senate, where
they hold the majority, are work-
ing on their own bill. It would also
give states greater exibility in
designing school improvement
standards. But it would maintain
the authority of the federal educa-
tion secretary to approve those
plans. ASenate vote on that leg-
islation is unlikely until autumn.
The House bill, which
Republicans named the Student
Success Act and Democrats dubbed
the Letting Students Down Act,
passed 221-207, with every
Democrat, and 12 Republicans
voting against it.
That partisanship comes against
a background in which nearly
everyone agrees that No Child Left
Behind, while achieving some
successes in improving achieve-
ment levels, is too inexible and
needs a major overhaul.
The law was passed by Congress
in 2001, a bipartisan effort led by,
among others, current House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-
Mass. President George W. Bush
was a strong supporter and signed
it into law in early 2002.

WASHINGTON In a rare and
public reection on race, President
Barack Obama called on the nation
Friday to do some soul searching
over the death of Trayvon Martin
and the acquittal of his shooter,
saying the slain black teenager
could have been me 35 years
ago. Empathizing with the pain
of many black Americans, Obama
said the case conjured up a hard
history of racial injustice that
doesnt go away.
Obamas personal comments, in
a surprise appearance in the White
House press room, marked his
most extensive discussion of race
as president. For Obama, who has
written about his own struggles
with racial identity but often has
shied away from the subject in
office, the speech signaled an
unusual embrace of his standing as
the nations rst black president
and the longing of many African-
Americans for him to give voice to
their experiences.
When you think about why, in
the African- American community
at least, theres a lot of pain around
what happened here, I think its
important to recognize that the
African- American community is
looking at this issue through a set
of experiences and a history that
doesnt go away, Obama said dur-
ing his 20-minute remarks.
AFlorida jury last week acquitted
George Zimmerman of all charges
in the February 2012 shooting of
Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old.
The verdict was cheered by those
who agreed that Zimmerman was
acting in self-defense, while oth-
ers protested the outcome, believ-
ing Zimmerman had targeted
Martin because he was black.

AMMAN, Jordan After a rush

Palestinian officials, U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry sealed
a step toward relaunching the long-
halted Mideast peace process,
announcing Friday that Israel and
the Palestinians had agreed on a
basis for returning to negotiations.
The statement, which came in a
press conference after a day in
which Kerry shuttled between the
Jordanian capital and the West
Bank, reected how painstakingly
incremental movement in the
process is. While it appeared deep
differences over
the groundwork
of talks had
been bridged,
the two sides are
to meet like-
ly in the com-
ing week to
work out final
details on actu-
ally resuming
their negotiations on the toughest
issues of the Israeli-Palestinian
conict.
Up to the last minute, the
Palestinians had been reluctant to
sign on to Kerrys formula for
returning to the table with the
Israelis, five years after talks
broke down.

Global warming?
Editor,
Earth Day have your children
come home worried that the rain-
forests are dying, the air is poisoned
and the earth is nished? Maybe this
will make you feel a little better.
The San Francisco Chronicle in
March reported about experiments at
the Berkeley National laboratories of
reecting sunlight (heat) away from
the earth to mitigate global warming.
Scientists have calculated that
white paint on all the at urban roofs
worldwide would reect enough heat
to offset 1.2 gigatons of carbon diox-
ide each year. This they estimate is
equivalent to removing half the
worlds cars from the roads.
British scientists calculated in
1990 that increasing the reectivity
of maritime clouds by 10 percent
would offset the estimated warming
caused by doubling the carbon diox-
ide concentration of the atmosphere.
Methods to make clouds more reec-
tive by seeding the clouds with
microparticles of common salt are
also being developed.
Think back 100 years, who would
have predicted the cellphone, comput-
ers and television? While global
warming has been absent for the last
17 years, the science community
believed as recently as 1977 that we
were headed for another ice age. The
most devout global warming enthusi-
asts give us about 100 years for the
earth to warm about one to three
degrees.
Why destroy our whole economy
while we look for other break-
throughs to change the climate or nd
new totally unknown energy sources.
Those sources may be as unknown to
us now as the cellphone was 100
years ago. Lets think, not panic.

City audit
Editor,
After reading my favorite newspa-
pers editorial Audit will help city in
more ways than one, (July 17 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) I think the
facts and the truth need to be aired.
All local city and county govern-
ments have had procedural and policy
manuals in place since the 1970s.
The city and county employees just
need to be versed in the manual and
need to follow the proper procedures
at all times. Its the department man-
agers fault for not doing their jobs.
The reason why there are so many
resignations in San Mateos
Community Development Department
is because of the 7-Eleven contro-
versy. But the 7-Eleven controver-
sy was the fault of a certain San
Mateo councilman allegedly exploit-
ing his inuence in a conict of inter-
est, and the fault of the former interim
city attorney, for allegedly neglect-
ing to do proper legal research into
the citys ordinances and policies.
There needs to be an external investi-
gation into this matter, not a new
procedures manual.
Ironically, the city employees who
allegedly caused this problem have
all resigned their positions, retired or
taken different jobs. All of these for-
mer employees should be held
accountable for their alleged actions
and pay for any monetary judgment
against the city of San Mateo that
resulted from the 7-Eleven contro-
versy.
An audit of the Community
Development Department is just a
legal excuse to protect all the former
employees, effectively saying, we
didnt have a proper procedure manual
to follow, so they didnt do anything
wrong. This is like sweeping the
truth under the rug. What part of
transparency does the city of San
Mateo not understand?

Who was on trial?
Editor,
In his collection of race-baiting
dog whistles, (letter to the editor
Rage from the July 17 edition of
the Daily Journal) John Dillon mis-
takenly referred to the Trayvon
Martin trial. Trayvon Martin was the
victim. George Zimmerman was on
trial for Trayvon Martins murder.
Its an easy mistake. From the time
the crime was committed, the media
has been trying Martin for his own
murder, seeking any and every excuse
to pin the blame on the victim, and
Zimmermans defense team continued
this throughout Zimmermans trial.

Letters to the editor
The News-Star, Monroe, La.
W
e often are asked to explain
the phenomenon of Duck
Dynasty, the extremely
popular A&E network show starring
members of our Robertson family.
Its not sexy. Its not wicked. Its
not dysfunctional. We know the
answer, and its not something
Hollywood can really appreciate
although we hope the folks at A&E
have it gured out.
America, that vast land between
New York and Los Angeles, is hungry
for entertainment that represents fam-
ily values. We live, we work, we go to
church, we play, we pray.
Theres no cussin. Theres nothing
uncomfortable to explain to the kids
who might be in the room. For televi-
sion standards of 2013, Duck
Dynasty is one of the cleanest shows
you can watch and the Robertson
clan includes someone who appeals to
virtually every age group.
If we had to combine Ozzie and
Harriet and The Brady Bunch in
todays world, thats the kind of enter-
tainment youd get.
So its no wonder that the fans of
this show are interested in learning
what were all about, and traveling
here to nd out.
Patricia and Bill Thornton were
drawn to Ouachita Parish by the Duck
Dynasty phenomenon, but while
they were here, the couple also visited
other local attractions like the Coke
Museum at the Biedenharn Museum
and Gardens in Monroe.
Really, we wish we had more
time, said Patricia Thornton, who
was wearing a Happy, Happy,
Happy T-shirt she bought at the Duck
Commander warehouse retail store in
West Monroe. Its a wonderful com-
munity.
Ralph Calhoun, executive director
at the Biedenharn, said the museums
attendance has increased by more than
100 visitors per month, and he can
track virtually all of them to Duck
Dynasty.
For their part, the Robertsons said
they are pleased their fame is having a
positive effect on the community.
The Robertson family is thrilled
that so many people are coming to
our area to visit, check out all of the
locations seen on Duck Dynasty and
spend their vacation dollars, said Al
Robertson, the beardless brother.

More reflections
on Vietnam War
By Chuck McDougald
I
sent my recent guest perspective on Independence Day
to a few Vietnam veteran friends of mine. Their reviews
were mixed. Whats a parade? one buddy asked.
Several just replied, Welcome home, brother. In addition, I
received some statistics I would like to share with my readers.
During the Vietnam War 2,709,918 mil-
itary personnel served in Vietnam, which
represented 9.7 percent of their genera-
tion. According to the 2000 Census, the
number of Americans falsely claiming to
have served in-country was 13,853,027.
I nd that amusing. When I got out in
1969, it was not healthy to claim to be a
Vietnam veteran. Now it seems everybody
wants to be a veteran. It does show, how-
ever, how much our military has risen in
the esteem of our fellow citizens, and thats a good thing.
Honoring our veterans is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Wall in Washington, D.C., built in 1982 and now containing
58,272 names of the fallen. Names are added if a service mem-
ber returned from Vietnam with serious wounds and then died
later as a result of those wounds.
Fewer than 850,000 Vietnam Veterans are estimated to be
alive today. About 390 die every day. Compare this to about 5
million World War II veterans still alive, and about 1,135 die
every day. The Wall and the newer World War II Memorial are
able to honor those still with us, and for that, I am grateful.
Thats enough morbidity for one day. I want to leave you
with some upbeat information a friend of mine sent me. He is
a Marine pilot shot down over North Vietnam and who spent
six years and four months as a prisoner of war.
The war ended in 1973, the POWs came home in March. A
year after their return, Dr. William H. Sledge was asked to
interview each of the POWs and evaluate their mental health.
His study was published in the Archives of General Psychiatry
in 1980.
Dr. Sledge was provided access to the classied debriengs
the POWs received upon their release. He was shocked at the
accounts of brutality and torture.
After nearly 80 interviews, an unusual pattern began to
emerge. He had interviewed other pilots regarding their
wartime experiences. The ghter jocks had a distinctive swag-
ger. But the POWs who were shot down were different. There
was less swagger and more grace. They were more humble and
grateful.
They described their lives as improved because of their
experience. The changes included more self-awareness,
increased optimism, renewed political or religious values and
a reprioritization of the relative importance of family and
career. The POWexperience seemed to bring more clarity and
perspective to their lives.
They talked a lot about the close bonds they had formed in
prison. Several said they had never had such intense relation-
ships as they had with their fellow prisoners at the Hanoi
Hilton. One POWseemed almost wistful when he admitted he
missed prison.
Dr. Sledge requested a more comprehensive study. This time
he used a control group of aviators who had served in
Vietnam. He discovered the POWs reported more benets from
their wartime experience than did the control group. Sixty-
one percent indicated favorable signicant mental changes,
while only 32 percent of the control group felt the same ben-
ets.
They were the longest-held POWs in our nations history.
The POWs remained unied and strong throughout years of
tortuous captivity. Incredibly, they deed what is known as
prisoners dilemma selling out their fellow prisoners in
hopes of bettering their own chance of survival. How were
they able to accomplish this? In a word leadership.
The POWs leader, Cmdr. James Stockdale, made it his mis-
sion to prevent that. The North Vietnamese routinely tortured
Stockdale and placed him in solitary connement, but he
never broke.
Against all odds, and despite extreme torture and extended
isolation, the POWs built a civilized culture using their brains
and their tin cups. They communicated with each other using
Morse Code and tapping on prison walls.
With Stockdales leadership, his POWs remained unied in
their resistance to the enemy and in their loyalty to their
country. They managed to keep alive the sense of purpose and
meaning they created from their experience.
The POWs returned home with honor. For his leadership
during capture and imprisonment, Cmdr. Stockdale won the
Medal of Honor.

their imprisonment transformed their lives, you might wish

Characteristics of High Performance Teams by Peter Fretwell

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK Abad day for technol-
ogy stocks Friday slowed a recent
surge in the stock market.
Microsoft led the slump in tech,
falling the most in more than four
years after the company wrote off near-
ly $1 billion on its new tablet comput-
er and reported declining revenue for
its Windows operating system.
Google dropped after its revenue fell
below analysts forecasts, partly
because the Internet search leaders ad
prices took an unexpected turn lower.
With tech stocks falling, the
Standard & Poors 500 index eked out a
gain of 2.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to
an all-time high of 1,692.09. The S&P
500 has rebounded after a decline last
month and is up 5.3 percent in July.
Despite the markets broad advance,
a growing list of poor tech results is
raising concerns about the strength of
the economy and the stock market.
Intel and eBay also reported weak
results this week, and chipmaker
Advanced Micro reported a second-
quarter loss because of a worldwide
slump in PC demand.
Technology has denitely been a
sector that people have been expect-
ing big things from and it has not
delivered, said Randy Frederick,
Managing Director of Active Trading
& Derivatives at the Schwab Center for
Financial Research.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 4.80 points, or 0.03 per-
cent, to 15,543.74. If not for the
declines in Microsoft, Hewlett-
Packard and IBM, the index would have
gained about 70 points.
Even General Electrics brighter out-
look for the U.S. economy on Friday
was overshadowed by the tech slump.
The technology-heavy Nasdaq com-
posite fell 23.66 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 3,587.61. The index was the
only major market benchmark to end
the week lower, falling 0.4 percent.
Technology stocks in the S&P 500
have lagged the S&P 500 this year,
gaining only 8.5 percent, versus 18.6
percent for the broader index. The
industry is one of four of the 10 sectors
in the S&P 500 that are expected to see
earnings growth contract in the second
quarter.
Microsoft dropped $4.04, or 11. 4
percent, to $31.40 after reporting its
earnings late Thursday. Thats the
biggest one-day decline since the
stock slumped 11.7 percent in January
2009. Google fell $14.08, or 1.5 per-
cent, $896.60. It also posted earnings
late Thursday.
The stock market has risen sharply
in July after the Federal Reserve reas-
sured investors it wouldnt pull back
on its stimulus before the economy is
strong enough. The U.S. central bank
is currently buying $85 billion in
bonds every month to keep long-term
interest rates low and to encourage
borrowing and hiring.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.48 percent from 2.53 percent late
Thursday. The yield has fallen from
2.74 percent on July 5, when the gov-
ernment reported strong hiring.
The pullback in bond yields should
help stocks sustain their rally because
it makes them look more attractive
compared to bonds, said Paul Zemsky,
head of multi-asset strategies for ING
U.S. Investment Management. Lower
interest rates should also support the
housing market by holding down
mortgage rates.
Alot of the fears that had come from
these higher rates are abating,
Zemsky said. Rates have come back
down and thats good.
Tech slump holds back stocks
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
ManpowerGroup Inc., up $3.85 at $65.69

quarter and said its U.S. operations are picking up steam.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., up $32.22 at $408.97

quarter rose as it opened more restaurants.

Judge finalizing deal
in Toyota acceleration cases
SANTAANA ACalifornia judge says he is nalizing
a settlement worth more than $1 billion in cases where
motorists say the value of their Toyotas plunged after
recalls over claims they unexpectedly accelerated.
U.S. District Judge James Selna approved the deal
Friday, closing one major chapter of a four-year legal
saga involving Toyota Motor Corp.
Hundreds of lawsuits have been led against Toyota
since 2009, when the Japanese automaker started
receiving numerous complaints that its cars accelerated
on their own, causing crashes, injuries and even deaths.
Toyota has denied the allegations, blaming driver
error, faulty oor mats and stuck accelerator pedals for
the problems.
More than 14 million vehicles have been recalled
since the claims surfaced.
Some wrongful-death cases remain, with one expected
to start in a California courtroom next week.
Business brief

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH Alandmark federal
study on hydraulic fracturing, or frack-
ing, shows no evidence that chemicals
from the natural gas drilling process
moved up to contaminate drinking
water aquifers at a western
Pennsylvania drilling site, the
Department of Energy told the
Associated Press.
After a year of monitoring, the
researchers found that the chemical-
laced uids used to free gas trapped
deep below the surface stayed thou-
sands of feet below the shallower areas
that supply drinking water, geologist
Richard Hammack said.
Although the results are preliminary
the study is still ongoing they
are the first independent look at
whether the potentially toxic chemi-
cals pose a threat to people during nor-
mal drilling operations. But DOE
researchers view the study as just one
part of ongoing efforts to examine the
impacts of a recent boom in oil and gas
exploration, not a nal answer about
the risks.
Drilling uids tagged with unique
markers were injected more than 8,000
feet below the surface at the gas well
bore but werent detected in a monitor-
ing zone at a depth of 5,000 feet. The
researchers also tracked the maximum
extent of the man-made fractures, and
all were at least 6,000 feet below the
surface.
That means the potentially danger-
ous substances stayed about a mile
away from surface drinking water sup-
plies, which are usually at depths of
less than 500 feet.
This is good news, said Duke
University scientist Rob Jackson,
who was not involved with the study.
He called it a useful and important
approach to monitoring fracking, but
he cautioned that the single study
doesnt prove that fracking cant pol-
lute, since geology and industry prac-
tices vary widely in Pennsylvania and
across the nation.
The boom in gas drilling has led to
tens of thousands of new wells being
drilled in recent years, many in the
Marcellus Shale formation that lies
under parts of Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio and West Virginia. Thats
led to major economic benets but
also fears that the chemicals used in
the drilling process could spread to
water supplies.
The mix of chemicals varies by com-
pany and region, and while some are
openly listed the industry has com-
plained that disclosing special formu-
las could violate trade secrets. Some of
the chemicals are toxic and could cause
health problems in signicant doses,
so the lack of full transparency has
worried landowners and public health
experts.

SAN FRANCISCO A California
judge tentatively ruled this week that
some baby foods carrying small
amounts of lead do not have to display
warning labels.
While both sides in the argument
acknowledged the foods and juices
contained lead, Judge Steven Brick
said in a tentative ruling this week that
manufacturers Gerber, Smuckers ,
Dole, and more than a dozen others are
not required to place the warnings
under California law.
The manufacturers have shown that
each of their products is below the reg-
ulatory safe harbor exposure level,
and for that reason, no warnings are
required, Brick wrote.
Anal ruling is expected in the next
few weeks.
The Environmental Law Foundation
had asserted in a lawsuit that the mak-
ers of the baby foods including car-
rots, peaches, pears and sweet pota-
toes and packaged fruit and fruit
juice are selling products containing
lead at levels that require warning
labels under California Proposition
65.
Lawyers for the food companies say
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
tested products targeted in the lawsuit
and decided levels were below the fed-
eral standards that require a warning.
State law says a person can be
exposed to up to 15 micrograms of lead
daily without being at risk for cancer
and up to 0.5 micrograms daily with-
out risk of reproductive harm, accord-
ing to the Chronicle.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple has
bought online mapping services
HopStop and Locationary as part of its
ongoing effort to create a more formi-
dable alternative to Googles naviga-
tion system.
The acquisitions confirmed Friday
give Apple Inc. more tools to round
out the maps that it embeds in the
mobile operating system running its
iPhones and iPads. Apple relied on
Google Inc. for the built-in maps on
those devices until switching to its
own system last year.
The switch turned into an embarrass-
ment for Apple when iPhone and iPad
users discovered the maps sometimes
gave faulty directions and misplaced
famous landmarks. Apple CEO Tim
Cook ended up apologizing for the
gaffes, and recommended iPhone and
iPad users rely on Googles maps until
improvements could be made.
When Google released a new map-
ping app for the iPhone late last year,
it quickly became one of the most
downloaded programs for the device.
Googles maps are also widely used on
mobile devices running on that com-
panys Android software, as well as
through Web browsers on personal
computers. Apple, which is based in
Cupertino isnt saying how it plans to
deploy its latest acquisition.

GULLANE, Scotland The stretching rou-
tine that Miguel Angel Jimenez goes through
before each round may look a bit ridiculous.
Its sure working out, though.
The fun-loving Spaniard, again showing how
much experience matters at golfs oldest major
championship, scrambled for an even-par 71 on
Friday that was good enough to lead midway
through the British Open at baked-out
Muireld.
He can hardly relax.
Tiger Woods was among four players just one
stroke behind, a group that also included
English favorite Lee Westwood, long-hitting
American Dustin Johnson, and Swedens Henrik
Stenson. Two-time major champion Angel
Cabrera and rst-round leader Zach Johnson
were another stroke back, still in the game
despite tough nishes.
The course was the real winner on this day
dry as a bone and rm as a snooker table, giving
up only four scores in the 60s. Another warm,
sunny day along the Forth of Firth had nearby
beachgoers frolicking in the surf, like this was
Southern California instead of Scotland, but it
made things miserable out on a course that is
more brown than green.
There were balls scooting all over the place.
They wound up behind grandstands, in knee-
high grass, up against the face of pot bunkers.
Dustin Johnson had to intentionally hit a side-
ways shot into the rough just to escape a
bunker. Phil Mickelson four-putted a hole.
Darren Clarke made a quadruple-bogey. And get
this they were all still in contention for the
claret jug.
Leading the way was Jimenez, a cigar-smok-
ing, wine-loving golfer nicknamed The
Mechanic who is perhaps best known outside
Europe for the unique way he gets ready for a
round.
Upon arriving at the range, hell put his
knees together and gyrate his hips both clock-
wise and counterclockwise silly looking
enough as it is, but especially for a guy with a
hefty belly and even heftier ponytail. Then
hell pull out a couple of clubs to help stretch

All aces are valued the same in a deck of
cards.
On the baseball diamond, however, not
all aces are equal.
Redwood City Post 105 sent its ace, Tyler
Vau Dell, to the mound in a winners brack-
et game of the Area 2 American Legion tour-
nament at San Bruno Park Friday night. San
Mateo countered with an ace of its own,
Greg Hubbell.
Vau Dell was good. Hubbell was great. Vau
Dell pitched well, but was done in by one
bad inning. Hubbell not only avoided the
big inning, he was nearly unhittable. In six
innings of work, he allowed just one hit and
struck out 10. Brendan Simpson and Evan
McClain pitched the nal three innings,
allowing just one hit as San Mateo beat
Redwood City 8-0 to advance to the cham-
pionship series beginning Saturday at San
Bruno Park.
I love [Hubbell], said Bob Sargent, San
Mateo assistant and pitching coach. His
stuff, his composure. Hes becoming a man
on the mound.
With the loss, Redwood City falls into
the losers bracket and will face Palo Alto in
an elimination game beginning at 11 a.m.
Saturday. The winner of that game with play
San Mateo for the title at 2 p.m. If neces-
sary, a second championship game will be
played Sunday at 11 a.m. if San Mateo loses
Saturday.
The way San Mateo is playing right now,
it will take an awfully strong effort from
someone to beat it. In two Area 2 games,
the Shockers have outscored San Bruno and
Redwood City by a combined score of 28-0.
It took a while for San Mateo to solve Vau
Dell, however. The Shockers loaded the
bases in the rst inning with one out, but
Vau Dell induced a grounder that was turned
into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning.

HOOVER, Ala. The legal problems of
current and former SEC players from ex-
Florida and NFLtight end Aaron Hernandez to
LSU running back Jeremy Hill cast a nega-
tive light on the league that has won seven
consecutive national championships.
It also highlights the challenges and
responsibilities facing coaches who must
weigh a players talent vs. the potential for
trouble in or out of the locker room.
The biggest spotlight by far has been on
Hernandez, whos pleaded not guilty to murder
in the killing of Boston semi-pro football
player Odin Lloyd.
More pertinent to the upcoming season is
Hills uncertain status while facing a misde-
meanor simple battery charge from an April
27 scufe in a bar parking lot.
Coaches at Southeastern Conference media
days this week insisted they do their best to
keep players behaving, which benets the
team, the players and the men paid millions to
win in a powerhouse conference with high
stakes and brutal competition.
Floridas Will Muschamp understands he
cant know what every player is doing every
night away from the football building. You
also cant stick your head in the sand and pre-
tend everything is OK, either, Muschamp
said.
He said coaches and staff need to know who
players are hanging out with off the eld.
Youre 100 percent responsible,
Muschamp said. When you sign a student-
athlete to come to the University of Florida, I
look at his parents, guardians, whoever is
important to him in his life, tell them its my
job to be an extension of whats already hap-
pened at home. But youre 100 percent
responsible for the young man. Everything
that happens.
As Alabamas Nick Saban put it: We can be
the moral compass for our
young people but we can-
not always drive the ship.
We cannot always be there
to drive the ship.
In the heated arms race
of recruiting, coaches also
bear the responsibility for
signing a player who
might have had off-the-
eld troubles.

Giants out of the break with a very big win
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Chad Gaudin struck
out eight in seven scoreless innings to build
on his impressive monthlong stretch, All-
Star Buster Posey hit an RBI double, and the
San Francisco Giants beat the rst-place
Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 on Friday night.
Hunter Pence added a run-scoring single as
defending World Series champion San
Francisco started a key series to open the sec-
ond half by pulling within 5 1/2 games of the
D-backs in the NLWest race.
Arizona starter Ian Kennedy (3-7) was
denied career win No. 50 yet again in his
eighth try.
In his past four starts, Gaudin (4-1) has a
0.77 ERA, two earned runs in 23 1-3 innings.
He has an 11-inning scoreless streak.
Gaudin is unbeaten in seven starts since
joining the rotation in early June to replace
the injured Ryan Vogelsong.
His only loss came in relief during an extra-
inning loss April 24 against Arizona at
home.
Gaudin also got a defensive gem from
Giants rookie Kensuke Tanaka. The converted
inelder made a sliding catch near the foul
line in left eld, reaching back over his head
after overrunning the play to rob Paul
Goldschmidt leading off the fourth. Gaudin
tipped his cap to the outelder.
The Giants are determined to put some
steady play together and Gaudins stellar
outing was a start. The club began a key
stretch with 10 games at home in AT&T Park,
including Tuesdays doubleheader with the
Reds in which Cincinnati is the home team in
the opener to make up a July 4 rainout in
Ohio.
Gaudin allowed three hits and didnt walk a
batter for the second time in his seven starts.
Sergio Romo, the Giants fth reliever, n-
ished the ve-hitter for his 22nd save and San
Franciscos 10th shutout. Arizona was
blanked for just the second time after losing
3-0 to Atlanta on June 28.
Santiago Casilla escaped a bases-loaded
jam in the eighth. Romo has a 29-game
scoreless streak against the D-backs span-
ning 21 2-3 innings and dating to Sept. 6,
2010.
Kennedy lost his third straight during an
eight-start winless streak in which he went 0-
3 since beating the Cubs on June 1 in
Chicago.
He even shaved his beard during the All-Star
break to try to get on track.
The right-hander said he had a professional
barber give him the trim Monday, his rst in
26 months since his daughter, Nora, was born
in late April 2011.
I needed a change, he said.
But Arizona lost its sixth straight second-
half opener.
Notes: D-backs RHPBrandon McCarthy is
scheduled to pitch a rehab start Sunday for
Triple-A Reno and likely one more after that
before being re-evaluated. He collapsed at a
Phoenix restaurant last month with a seizure
related to the head injury he sustained while
pitching last September. ... Giants RHPRyan
Vogelsong, who had surgery May 21 a day
after breaking two bones in the pinkie area of
his pitching hand, will face live hitters for
the rst time Saturday and could begin a rehab
assignment early next week probably begin-

Pujols, Weaver star in Angels win over As
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM Albert Pujols, Erick Aybar
and Mike Trout each homered, Jered Weaver
extended his scoreless-innings streak
against Oakland to 24 2-3, and the Los
Angeles Angels came out of the All-Star
break with a 4-1 victory over the Athletics
on Friday night.
Weaver (4-5) allowed four hits in 6 2-3
innings while striking out a season-high
eight and walking four. The previous club
record for scoreless innings against the As
was 21, by Bob Lee in 1964-65.
Last season, Weaver gave up a solo homer
to Seth Smith over 30 2-3 innings while
going 3-0 in four starts against the As .
Since 2011, the right-hander has dominated
the As with a 7-1 record in 10 starts.
Ernesto Frieri earned his 23rd save in 25
chances on his 28th birthday.
A.J. Grifn (8-7) gave up four runs and six
hits in ve innings, struck out four and
walked one for the rst-place As. His three-
game winning streak in his previous four
starts ended with his rst loss since June 15
against Seattle.
The Angels, who nished under .500 at
the break for the rst time since 2006, gave
manager Mike Scioscia his 1,200th career
win. They snapped a three-game skid.
The Angels extended their lead to 4-0 in
the fth on homers by Aybar and Trout.
Aybar led off the inning with his fourth of
the season, while Trouts 16th went to left
eld.
Pujols, whose career .334 average in the
second half of the season leads all active
players, slugged his 16th homer with two
outs in the third.
Josh Hamiltons RBI double to right eld
got past a diving Josh Reddick. It scored
J.B. Shuck, who reached on an ineld single
to third and continued to second on a throw-
ing error by third baseman Josh Donaldson.
Oakland scored its lone run on a RBI dou-
ble by Chris Young in the ninth off Kevin

CHICAGO Attorneys suing the NCAA
over its handling of head injuries asked a
federal judge Friday to let them expand the
lawsuit nationwide to include thousands of
plaintiffs in a case they contend could
change college sports forever.
The motion seeking class-action status
was led in U.S. District Court in Chicago,
where the original lawsuit was led two
years ago on behalf of several former ath-
letes, including former Eastern Illinois
football player Adrian Arrington. His attor-
ney, Joseph Siprut, said he doesnt want to
see the demise of college contact sports,
including football, but safety is para-
mount.
If changes arent made, the sport is
going to slowly die, he said. If they cant
be reassured football is safe, parents will
stop their kids from playing and when the
talent well dries up, thats how the sport
dies.
The NCAA late Friday did immediately
have a comment.
Concussions have become a major issue
in sports in recent years. The NFL, NHLand
college football, among others, have
implemented stricter rules on hits to the
head and player safety.
But the NFL is mired in a lawsuit involv-
ing more than 4,000 former players seek-
ing millions of dollars for problems they
blame on head injuries during their careers.
The NCAA could wind up in a similar sit-
uation.
Attached to the class-action request is a
report for the plaintiffs by a leading author-
ity on concussions, Robert Cantu, who
cites an internal NCAA survey from 2010.
He said the NCAA found that nearly half of
the college trainers who responded indicat-
ed they put athletes showing signs of a
concussion back in the same game.
It is well settled in the scientic commu-
nity that an athlete must never be returned
to play on the same day after a concussion
diagnosis, said Cantu, who is medical
director of the National Center for
Catastrophic Sports Injury Research in
Chapel Hill, N.C.
The plaintiffs say the NCAA was lax in
establishing a clear policy about dealing
with concussions, leaving key decisions to
individual schools or leagues.

LE GRAND-BORNAND, France Half
the height of Mount Everest, climbed on a
bike, in a single day. Even by Tour de France
standards, Stage 19 was hard.
At times, you just feel like youre being
tortured, was how American rider Andrew
Talansky described Fridays ordeal
arguably the toughest stage of the 100th
Tour that started with two monster climbs
as riders were still digesting breakfast.
Youre just like, What is this? But you
dig in and keep going.
The GPS mini-computer the Garmin rider
carries on his bike did the sums: 14,498 feet
ridden uphill close to the height of
Western Europes loftiest peak, Mont
Blanc, and half of Everest, the roof of the
world at 29,035 feet.
The riders also zoomed 13,907 feet down-
hill. Talanskys gizmo showed he burned
5,670 calories during the six-hour suffer-
fest.
The difficulty of Stage 19 made Chris
Froome quite nervous.
Once he got through it with his big race
lead intact, the British rider nally started to
allow his mind to fast-forward to the nish
on Sunday.
Victory is so close he can almost taste it.
The last Alpine stage on Saturday 77
miles in the mountains towering above the
limpid waters of Lake Annecy wont be
enough for second-place Alberto Contador
to puncture Froomes cushion of more than
ve minutes.
In all but name, the 28-year-old is cham-
pion of the 100th Tour and knows it.
One more day to really stay concentrated
and to stay up front and look after the yel-
low jersey and then looking forward to tak-
ing it to Paris, Froome said. Its going to
be very hard for someone to take more than
ve minutes in 125 kilometers (77 miles).
But having said that, I dont want to be com-
placent.
No, that can wait until Sunday evening
when Froome and the other survivors of this
three-week, 2,115-mile clockwise trek
around Western Europes largest country will
clip their feet into the pedals for the nal 82
miles to Paris.
Traditionally, that last stage is a relaxed
lap of honor, at least until the pack hits the
cobbles of the Champs-Elysees.
There, Mark Cavendish and other sprint-
nish specialists will battle for the brag-
ging rights of the stage win on that leafy
boulevard the French modestly call the most
beautiful avenue in the world.
The unique dusk nish for this 100th Tour,
just as the sun sets behind the Arc de
Triomphe, should be extra special.

Foster City will be the place to be on July
24 if youre a lover of badminton.
Two former Olympians, Ben Lee and
Howard Bach, will present a free badminton
clinic demonstration at the Peninsula
Jewish Community Center in Foster City.
The demonstration will be held at the Dan
Cook gymnasium from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.
when attendees will learn about badminton
shots, footwork, game strategy and, after
the demo, may practice shots with the
olympians themselves.
Lee and Bach are instructors with Synergy
Badminton Club in Menlo Park.
Bach is a three-time Olympian (2004,
2008, 2012) and the 2005 Badminton World
Champion, while Lee has represented the
U.S. in more than 36 countries and is the
only person in the U.S. to have been both a
badminton competitor (1992) and coach

SAFETY CHECK
With the on-going efforts of the NFL all
the way down to Pop Warner to increase edu-
cation (and decrease contact) with regards to
head injuries, young Bay Area football
players will have a chance to be educated by
the very best.
Five hundred youth football coaches and
300 cheerleading coaches from throughout
the Bay Area, from Marin County in the
North to Greenfield near Salinas in the
South, will spend Sunday,
July 21 learning how to keep
kids safe from concussions
and spinal cord injuries.
The two-session event will
take place at Napredak Hall
in San Jose.
The morning session
begins at 8 a.m. for football coaches and
from noon to 4:30 p.m. for cheerleading
coaches.
The Pop Warner Little Scholars Inc.,
Valley Medical Rehabilitation Center and
the San Francisco 49ers medical director are
teaming up to put on a training seminar for
Pop Warner coaches. Theyre hoping to
train football and cheerleading coaches to
identify, treat and prevent concussions, and
other brain injuries during practices and
games.
This is the rst time, the seminar will
emphasize training cheerleading coaches.
Garza, medical director for the NFC cham-
pion 49ers, will present proactive preven-
tion and treatment of concussions, brain
and spinal cord injuries.
The Pop Warner Little Scholars is a non-
prot organization that offers youth foot-
ball, cheer and dance programs for children
ages 5 to 16 years old. The national pro-
gram consists of 425,000 youth, making it
the largest youth football, cheer and dance
program in the world.

SAO PAULO Tickets for next years
World Cup will range from $990 to as little
as $15 for some Brazilians eligible for dis-
count rates.
The prices were announced Friday by soc-
cers world governing body, FIFA. The $15
tickets will be available to Brazilian stu-
dents, Brazilians over 60 and members of
some social programs. In 2010, some South
Africans could pay as little as $20.
Host nation residents will have access to
at least 400,000 discounted tickets from the
publicly available total of about 3 million.
Those prices are extremely competitive,
Thierry Weil, FIFAs marketing director, said
in explaining the prices. So you have a
huge range, for sure. I hope that FIFA... has
been reasonable when it comes to prices.
FIFA said prices for international fans
start at $220 for the opening match in Sao
Paulo on June 12. Top category seats will
cost $495 for the opener.
At the other 47 group-stage matches, seats
costs $90 in the cheapest Category 3 band.
Category 1 tickets will cost $175.
For the championship game on July 13 at
Rios Maracana, international fans
must pay from $440 to $990, in
three category bands.
On average, prices for interna-
tional fans are about 10 percent
more than four years ago in South
Africa, meaning these fans may be
picking up the bill for discounts to cer-
tain Brazilians.
The concessions to Brazilians
were stipulated in a so-called World
Cup bill approved last year by
the Brazilian Congress.
Portions of the bill parts
that grant FIFA certain tax conces-
sions have been called unconstitu-
tional and are being appealed to the coun-
trys supreme court.
The ticketing strategy shows important
achievements that Brazil has obtained,
which were included in the World Cup law,
Deputy Sports Minister Luis Fernandes said
at the ticket announcement.
Despite the discounts, the prices are out of
reach for most people in Brazil, where the
average ofcial minimum monthly salary is
about $340.
At Maracana stadium, a study shows
prices of the least expensive seats at
recent matches have typically
increased 30 times in the last eight
years.
Brazil will spend about $14 bil-
lion on next years World Cup. The
price tag was a focus of violent street
protests that took place during the
Confederation Cup last month, the
warm-up for the World Cup.
The protests have continued
with complaints about poor
schools, hospitals and public
services contrasted with the lavish
spending on the World Cup and an
equal amount on the 2016 Rio de Janeiro
Olympics. Protests are also expected when
Pope arrives Monday for the Catholic
churchs youth day.
Weil called on Brazilian authorities to
have all 12 World Cup stadiums ready by a
Dec. 31 deadline set by FIFA. Four of the six
stadiums used for the Confederations Cup
were late being delivered, causing ticketing
confusion with some fans entering with
tickets only to nd no corresponding
seats, Weil said.
We need the stadiums in time for the
World Cup to be ready and to be prepared,
he said.
He also said ticket pick-up locations had
to be better situated, adding that tickets
would be available at the airports in all 12
host cities.
Air travel will be the main way to get
around the continent-size country. Many of
Brazils airports are outdated notably
those in Rio and Sao Paulo with domestic
connections expensive and difcult to make.
Hotels will also be pricey, with complaints
at the Confederations Cup that few employ-
ees speak English.
For the World Cup, what we need to do is,
we need to have ticket centers in the right
locations, Weil said.
Tickets for the World Cup will be sold
globally from Aug. 20 on fa.com. The rst
sales phase ends Oct. 10, and a random draw
will allocate seats for oversubscribed match-
es.
A second sales phase opens Dec. 8, after
the 32-team draw is made and the match
schedule conrmed.

third innings, allowing only one hit in
each.
In the fourth, San Mateo nally got to Vau
Dell and the wheels fell off. The Shockers
sent 10 batters to the plate and scored six
runs on six hits. Aaron Albaum had the rst
big hit of the uprising, drilling an oppo-
site-eld, two-run single to right to put San
Mateo up 2-0. A third run scored on a
Redwood City error.
With Albaum and Ryan Cuddy on base and
two outs, catcher Jason Marley stepped to
the plate and on a 1-0 count, launched a shot
to deep center eld that one-hopped the
softball diamond at the other end of the
park. As the ball rolled through the softball
eld ineld, Marley raced around the bases
for a three-run home run and a comfortable
6-0 lead.
It was one of four hits Marley had on the
night.
It may not have been Marleys biggest
hit, but its right up there.
The [home run] at Terra Nova was a
blast, said Marley, referring to the tower-
ing shot he hit for Carlmont when the Scots
clinched the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division crown this spring.
But that (shot I hit Friday night) was
probably the hardest (hit).
The Shockers then tacked on single runs
in the fth and sixth innings. Cuddy drove
in Matt Seubert in the fifth and Phil
Cauleld scored on an error in the sixth.
That offense was more than enough for
Hubbell, who rarely found himself in trou-
ble despite walking ve batters. Only one
Redwood City batter made it as far as third
base against Hubbell, but that was the only
real scoring chance the Blues had against
him.
The few times Hubbell appeared to lose
his command, a quick visit from either
Sargent or Marley quickly settled him and
he returned to his dominant ways.
He had a lot more control today (than dur-
ing the high school season), said Marley,
who caught Hubbell several times during the
spring.
His slider was lthy, his changeup was
lthy. It was one of the better games Ive
seen him pitch, stuff wise.
Sargent said the only reason he went out
to talk to Hubbell was just to settle him
down.
Hes so competitive that sometimes I
just go out there to give him a breather,
Sargent said.
In an elimination game earlier in the day,
Palo Alto stayed alive with a 11-10 win over
San Bruno, knocking out the host team.
Palo Alto jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two
innings and were threatening to run away
from San Bruno.
But San Bruno cut the lead to 5-4 before
Palo Alto got some breathing room in tak-
ing a 7-4 lead. In the top of the eighth, how-
ever, San Bruno scored six times to take a
10-7 lead.
It was shortlived. Palo Alto came back
with four runs in the bottom of the inning
and then shut down San Bruno in the top of
the ninth to record the win.

LEGION
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON New York Yankees shortstop
Derek Jeter went back on the disabled list
Friday, knocking him out
of the three-game series
against the rival Boston
Red Sox and beyond.
The Yankees placed their
captain on the 15-day DL
with a strained right
quadriceps that he injured
in his rst game back last
week after being out all
season with a broken left
ankle. Jeter rejected the possibility that he
returned too soon from the injury he sustained
in last years playoffs.
I dont think thats the case, he told
reporters at Fenway Park before the series
opener on Friday. I was ready to come back;
I came back; I was running ne. This hap-
pened, but this happens to guys who go
through full spring trainings and play a lot of
games.
The Yankees had waited to make a decision,
using the four days of the All-Star break for
the shortstop to receive treatment. Jeter said
he had hoped to play against the Red Sox, but
he hadnt tested his leg in anything close to a
game environment.
Right now, its ne. But I havent run, he
said. Im pretty sure theyll make me run
before they have me play.
Jeter, 39, broke his left ankle in the opener
of the AL championship series last October,
then spent the winter and the rst 3 1/2
months of the season getting back to the
eld. After just four rehabilitation games, the
Yankees pushed up his return after Brett
Gardner and Travis Hafner got hurt.
Jeter had been telling the team he was ready
to return, and general manager Brian Cashman
said he received positive reports from Triple-
AScranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Jeter returned to a huge ovation and beat out
an ineld hit on the rst pitch he saw in the
majors this year.
But he left the game against Kansas City on
July 11 in the eighth inning when his quad
tightened in his third at-bat.
I dont think they trust me too much any-
more, he said at Fenway Park.
Jeter said at the time he hoped the strain was
not a big deal. He missed the weekend series
against Minnesota and hoped to avoid the DL.
Its frustrating. Ive spent a lot of time try-
ing to get my ankle right and get back on the
eld, which I did, he said Friday. Finally,
when that was good to go something else
happens. These things happen. Ive played
entire spring trainings and pulled a muscle at
the end. I think a lot of times people want to
try to tie one to the other. Its not necessarily
the case.
The Yankees also signed inelder Brent
Lillibridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre.
Jeter joins Mark Teixeira (wrist surgery),
outelder Curtis Granderson (broken pinkie)
and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand),
who have been hurt and then had setbacks or
second injuries.
Teixeira returned briey before season-end-
ing surgery. Cervelli developed a stress reac-
tion and is shut down for now. Granderson
broke his forearm in his rst at-bat in spring
training only to be hit again after eight games
back.
Despite all the injuries, the Yankees were
51-44 at the All-Star break, six games behind
rst-place Boston but in fourth in the ALEast.
They were three games out of the last wild-card
spot.
It happens to every team, every year.
Injuries are a part of it, Jeter said. Id be
lying to you if I said it wasnt kind of odd the
way things have been happening. You get
guys back, they get hurt again. The number of
guys is something that I havent seen here
since Ive been here, but other teams have to
deal with it too.

Im amused by his warm-up rou-
tine, Mickelson said. I would hurry
to the course to watch it.
But this guy is all business out on
the course. Jimenez has bounced back
from missing four months recover-
ing from a broken right leg sustained
in a skiing accident last winter. If he
can keep it going through the week-
end, he might take a run at Julius
Boros, the oldest major champion in
golf history when he won the PGA
Championship at age 48. Heck, Tom
Watson nearly won this tournament a
few years ago at age 59.
Why not? asked Jimenez, whose
was at 3-under 139 through two days.
Theres two more rounds to go. You
never know whats going to happen.
Im just going to have fun on the golf
course. When I nish here, Ill have a
glass of red wine later on. Im just
going to keep doing the same thing.
Hes not exactly leading the con-
ventional way, far down in the rank-
ings for fairways hit and greens in
regulation. But no one has done a bet-
ter job scrambling for pars. Jimenez
ranked rst in the putting, seeming to
always nd a way to get the ball up
close to the hole even during the fre-
quent times he ran into trouble.
Im playing very solid, Jimenez
said. In these conditions, its not
easy. With these pin positions, its
very, very tough to get in close.
Woods plodded along most of the
day, lipping out a putt from 2 1/2 feet,
missing another short putt and set-
tling for a bunch of pars 12 in a
row until his nal stroke of the round.
Then, he looked like the Tiger of old,
rolling in a 15-footer for birdie on
Muirelds tough closing hole. He
raised his putter toward the blue sky
with a ourish, fully aware he was
positioned again to break the longest
major drought of his career.

Alabama dismissed four players
from school following their arrests
stemming from two violent rob-
beries on campus barely a month after
the Crimson Tide claimed its second
straight national title.
Saban said every player he has
kicked off has been someone the
teams leadership group felt needed to
go.
With events of today and the
attention on some of the people who
have been arrested in sports in the
last couple of weeks, its even going
to be more critical to players future
that they make good choices and deci-
sions, Saban said. And they have to
realize that.
Saban said Alabama has a 12-
course program in behavior for suc-
cess and has psychiatrists or sports
psychologists talk to troubled play-
ers.
I always talk to our players about
being a blinking light, he said. If
you look at a Christmas tree, when all
lights shine bright, its beautiful. But
if one lights going like this (icker-
ing), your attention is just to that
light. Nobody should be a blinking
light. The players always bring that
up to me: This guy is a strobe light,
man.
Even the week of media days started
with legal matters.
Heisman Trophy winner Johnny
Manziel of Texas A&M pleaded guilty
on Monday to a misdemeanor of not
identifying himself to a police ofcer
following a 2012 altercation at a bar
near campus. That day, Vanderbilts
James Franklin identied four players
dismissed from school in June for an
incident being investigated by police
as a possible sex crime.
Franklin said he and Vandy wont
sign players they believe have char-
acter issues for the sake of winning.
I cant speak for other places or
other institutions but not at
Vanderbilt, Franklin said. Its never
been that way in the past. Its not that
way presently. It will never be in the

Recently we have seen a rise in interest rates for mortgage loans. They
are now hovering around the 4% level, which is about a half percent
higher than they have been in the last 12 months. How does this compare
though to history?
In 1984 when I started in
real estate, mortgage interest
rates were at 13.5%. It was
so exciting in the early
1990's when the rates went
down below 10% percent!
So when we talk about the
rates having gone to 4% this
is still an UNreal historic
low rate. It is still a incred-
ible time to borrow money
to purchase homes.

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers have
acquired cornerback Eric Wright in a trade with Tampa Bay
that sends a conditional selection in the 2014 draft to the
Buccaneers.
The Bucs announced the deal Friday.
Wright joined Tampa Bay last season and played in 10
games, nishing with 37 tackles and one interception. In
2011 with the Detroit Lions, Wright started 16 games and

The publics overwhelming atten-
dance and support encouraged
Ffortissimo to host an encore perform-
ance, Opus Two. This time, he chose to
install 12, because thats how many
notes a piano has, Ffortissimo said.
Ffortissimo co-owns a yoga studio in
Half Moon Bay and is a painter, sculp-
tor, musician and composer. His sincere
love of the coast and marine animals
inspired him to transcend his art by
playing for, and with, the whales,
Ffortissimo said.
Whales, through sonar, they commu-
nicate with each other ... they sing,
they talk, they even have songs,
Ffortissimo said.
Opus Two encourages social interac-
tions by bringing music out of the con-
nement of a concert hall. The pianos
are there as something for people to
gather around, Ffortissimo said.
Passersby can leisurely play the pianos
and sunset audiences witness a free con-
cert at a truly unique venue.
Ffortissimo assisted 6-year-old
Penelope Keep as she played a newly
learned song. Her parents traveled from
Los Altos after hearing of Sunset Piano.
Penelope Keep, who started playing the
piano a year ago, said she was thrilled to
be accompanied by the sound of the
wind, the waves and the whales.
Why the piano?
Ffortissimo is often given abandoned
pianos to x, many of which require
excessive time and money. His old-
world values of the traditional instru-
ment and concern about their decreasing
fabrication, encouraged him to spot-
light pianos against the serene ocean
views.
To me, pianos have souls and to play
outdoors and let it be free and travel to
the coast and the water, I thought it was
a nice romantic thing to do,
Ffortissimo said.
Ffortissimo develops a bond between
pianos and the ocean as their harmo-
nious sounds reel in the most apprecia-
tive of audiences. He hopes by bringing
people to the coast with the media atten-
tion his phenomenon has received,
Sunset Piano will encourage preserva-
tion of the pristine and priceless San
Mateo County coast.
Ffortissimo has paired up with a kick-
starter campaign to raise funds for the
costs associated with Sunset Pianos. As
of July 15, Sunset Pianos has raised
more than $27,000.
Hauling the weighty pianos up hills
and through winding trails was a night-
mare, Ffortissimo said. Penelope
Keeps father Pliny Keep was moved by
this effort and applauded the talented
Ffortissimo.
Thats a major investment, to get a
piano down to the beach. It has a kind of
majesty, as if this were a concert hall
and the waves were the audience, Pliny
Keep said.
The costs associated with Sunset
Pianos will be offset by the funds, as
will a documentary hes producing in
conjunction with lmmakers and pho-
tographers, Ffortissimo said. The
remaining funds will be used to assist in
repairing pianos, which can often cost
thousands of dollars, for those who
wouldnt be able to afford the repairs. He
also plans on donating money to the
California State Parks, San Mateo
County division.
Sunset Pianos has caused controversy
among some residents and California
State Park ofcials. For his grand nale
of Opus One, Ffortissimo set re to his
outdoor piano to give it a spectacular
cremation. Although Ffortissimo
believes his short-term installations of
the pianos are harmless, a lack of prop-
er permitting has caused several to be
removed. Only ve pianos remain.
But Ffortissimo said he is grateful to
the cordial ofcials who returned his
pianos with prospects of future permits.
Outside interest
San Franciscos Ofce of Economic
Development has solicited
Ffortissimos beatnik performances.
Hes been asked to take his outdoor
recitals to the streets and, in mid-
October, he will install several pianos
on Market Street between Octavia
Boulevard and The Embarcadero.
Regardless of relocations, the Sunset
Piano experience will extend past their
installation. Filmmakers have begun
the Sunset Piano documentary and a
photo book from Opus One is already in
print. Lars Howlett captured exquisite
photos from the original performance
and are displayed alongside some of
Ffortissimos paintings.
Thursday nights performance will be
spotlighted in the upcoming documen-
tary. The old wooden piano stood still as
a standup bass player, drummer and var-
ious singers swayed alongside.
Samantha Corsiglia, a ballet dancer in a
pristine white dress, twirled around
Ffortissimo as he and others played into
the dark. People took turns reading
poems, singing opera and an impromp-
tu piano player led the entire audience in
singing The Foundations infamous
song Build Me Up Buttercup. Aerial
dancer Cola Claret was suspended by
cypress tree branches as the astonished
spectators applauded.
It was an amazing night. Its such a
wonderful thing to hear acoustic instru-
ments outside in the trees. Not in a
room, not on a stage, but in a beautiful
surrounding next to the ocean. Hearing
that in the background, its a beautiful,
beautiful thing, said resident Len
Holmboe.
Sunset Piano performances will con-
tinue through the weekend and will be
culminated in a closing celebration
Sunday on the bluffs just south of Kelly
Beach in Half Moon Bay around 6:30
p.m. For more information about
Ffortissimo and Sunset Piano visit sun-

extra semester or even a year and I wont get nancial aid for
that time; its a burden for us.
Another recent graduate, Grant Murphy, has been in touch
with staff with U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, about
the issue and others have contacted state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo.
Others say they could lose their places at college because
of the invalidation and say their college applications are on
hold due to the delay of AP test scores.
In a 2008 case of AP score invalidations at Trabuco Hills
High School in Southern California, all of the students
decided to sign up for retests and the decision to invalidate
the previous scores held. For this reason, Murphy said he
has decided not to sign up for a retest.
I was incredibly frustrated when I heard because it would
be a huge time commitment to restudy all the information
again by myself, said recent Mills graduate Grant Murphy.
Im quite hopeful the decision will be reversed. This has
opened my eyes to the fact that the College Board has a near
monopoly over exams, theyre quite expensive, theres no
competition and no oversight.
David, a parent of a recent graduate attending UC
Berkeley in the fall who chose not to disclose his last
name, is working with other parents to ght the College
Boards decision.
The kids mindsets are getting ready for college now and
some are taking summer school, David said. They should
have retested right away. For the kids, this is just so unfair;
they work really hard on it.
District ofcials said they are waiting to see if there is an
appeal process and determine how the exams were invali-
dated. Black said they are working with the districts legal
rm to see what else they can do to reverse the decision. He
said he is troubled that it doesnt appear that there wasnt a
full investigation and proctors werent interviewed.
Its inordinary in my experience to see this many exams,
in 11 subjects over two weeks, invalidated, Black said.
They will hopefully modify the decision on these tests.
Former Millbrae councilman Paul Seto has a son who
took AP tests this past spring at Mills. His son is out of the
country and wont be able to retake the tests. He hopes the
school district will put up a good ght.
This is overkill, Seto said. There was no student mis-
conduct, so they shouldnt victimize the students. I dont
want the students to be cynical. Retaking the tests doesnt
cut it since they prepared for these tests all year.
The community is continuing to organize. At press time,
almost 900 people had signed a Change.org petition ask-
ing Superintendent Scott Laurence to hold Mills adminis-
tration accountable for the cancellation of the AP scores.
Students created the site whyweneedourscoresback.com to
allow students, teachers and parents to voice their reasons
for needing the test scores.
Tom Ewing, director of external communications for ETS,
conrmed that scores from AP Exams administered at Mills
this spring have been invalidated due to testing seating
irregularities at the school that violated the test administra-
tion and security guidelines.
We understand how disappointing this decision is to the
many students who worked hard to prepare for their AP
Exams in May and must now retake those exams, Ewing
said. We are working with school personnel to coordinate
a retest and ensure the successful administration of AP
Exams at Mills High School in the future.
More than 4 million AP Exams were administered in May
2013, with fewer than 6,000 exams invalidated due to
issues including testing irregularities, security issues and
lost/missing answer sheets, according to ETS.
ETS did validate Mills foreign language tests since these
were taken separately on computers, Black said. Scores
were supposed to be released July 5.
The school district has scheduled a community meeting 7
p.m. Monday at the Mills Faculty Lounge. Another meet-
ing is planned for Wednesday.

TEST SCORES
By Carly Bertolozzi
I
am a month away from leaving for
college, on the brink of a major step
toward the future, and yet I cant help
but think of my past.
Afriend I have had the pleasure of know-
ing since sixth grade recently visited
Belmont, as he had moved to New Jersey
after freshman year and
had not seen his child-
hood friends in years. I
spent an entire day with
him, sitting under a wil-
low tree, reminiscing
about old memories and
thinking about the good
times we have had
together. Its amazing to
think back and remem-
ber the tiny freshman I once was and now
look at the person I am today. While Im
still the same person, and many in the
same situation would say that they have
changed signicantly, I prefer to look at it
as I have learned more about myself
through experience and it is that knowledge
that has changed the way I conduct myself.
As youd expect, there have been many
experiences and events that have occurred
in my life, shaping and molding who I am
today; one of the most inuential was
entering my position here at the Daily
Journal. The day I had my interview to
become an intern, I was scared out of my
mind. It would be the rst experience I
would have being interviewed and I had lit-
tle time to prepare as I had only found out it
would be taking place earlier that morning.
I sat in the waiting area where the recep-
tionist sitting at the front desk gave me an
ounce of courage. She told me that she had

Staging Oliver! calls for a certain
amount of ambition because of the chal-
lenges in Lionel Barts 1960 musical adap-
tation of Charles Dickens novel Oliver
Twist.
One challenge is that the scene changes
might interrupt the dramatic ow. Thanks to
an adaptable set designed by Jerald Enos,
Broadway By the Bay minimizes the lapses.
Still, this production directed by Jeffrey
Bracco can feel episodic.
Another challenge is that the show
requires many children. BBB succeeds on
this count because most of the youngsters
are somewhat older than one might expect.
Hence the opening scene, Food, Glorious
Food, at the London workhouse gets the
show off to a good start.
Oliver Twist, the orphaned title character,
is played by 12-year-old Shayan
Hooshmand, who does a good job, starting
with his memorable opening line, Please,
sir, I want some more, as he tries to get
another helping of the gruel from the work-
house caretaker, Mr. Bumble (Robert

In 1971, they come to

that has begun terrorizing

Lorraine is clairvoyant,

boasts incredulously of being their most fearsome, previ-
ously unknown case, is built very in the 70s-style mold of
Amityville and, if one is kind, The Exorcist. The lm
opens with a majestic, foreboding title card that announces
its aspirations to such a lineage.
Does it live up to that? More than most horror lms, cer-
tainly. But as effectively crafted as The Conjuring is, its
lacking the raw, haunting power of the models it falls shy
of. The Exorcist is a high standard, though; The
Conjuring is an unusually sturdy piece of haunted-house
genre lmmaking.
The director is James Wan, whos best known as one of
the founding practitioners of that odious type of horror
lm called torture porn (Saw). In The Conjuring, he
goes classical. Though it comes across as a self-conscious
stab at more traditional, oorboard-creaking horror, Wan
has succeeded in patiently building suspense (of which
there is plenty) not out of bloodiness, but those old stand-
bys of slamming doors and ashes in the mirror.
Roger Perron (Ron Livingston) and his wife Carolyn
(Lili Taylor) arent initially suspicious when their clocks
all stop at 3:07 a.m., the family dog as is custom
turns up dead and one of the girls starts sleepwalking. But
the torment grows bruises appear on Carolyns arms, the
children are visited at night they seek out the Warrens,
whom we rst see lecturing on the science of the supernat-
ural.
They, too, have a daughter. Their general philosophy is
that a demonic spirit can attach itself to a person or an
object, like a tick or unpaid parking tickets. They keep a
sealed-off chamber of possessed items (a spooky doll g-
ures prominently, of course), something like a trophy
room of evil.
Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes screenplay smoothly
melds the story lines of both families. Particularly good is
Julie Berghoffs production design, a necessity for a lm
that spends so much time in one setting. Cinematographer
John R. Leonettis camera creeps slowly through the
house.
The Conjuring shows its aws, though, in its occa-
sional digital effects representing the demons. Such choic-
es effectively break the careful, naturalistic atmosphere
Wan has created. The lmmakers have told stories of brush-
es with the supernatural while making the lm, which only
further contributes to the feeling that The Conjuring is
too busy overstating its verisimilitude to have anything
else on its mind.
But most effecting are Wilson and the wonderful, sad-
eyed Farmiga. When the Perrons are in need, the Warrens
come with their instruments and understanding, ready to
help a family haunted by an unseen demon.
The Conjuring, a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by
the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences
of disturbing violence and terror. Running time: 112 min-
utes. Two and a half stars out of four.

CANNES, France Octavia Spencer almost passed on
one of the most acclaimed movies of the year so far
Fruitvale Station.
The lm, released in select theaters last week and opening
wide this weekend, tells the true story of Oscar Grant, an
unarmed black man fatally shot by a white police ofcer in
an Oakland train station early on New Years Day, 2009.
The ofcer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and
served 11 months in prison.
Video of the shooting circulated widely on social net-
works, and a snippet of it shows in Fruitvales opening
minutes. Its that footage that made Spencer initially
decline the pivotal role as Grants moth-
er.
In seeing the video, I said the only
thing that I could offer this role is anger.
And I think this situation requires much
more than that because it already has a
potential to be explosive, said Spencer.
But she read the script which chron-
icles Grants last day and was moved.
It restored Oscars humanity in a way
that the trial, and all of the recrimina-
tions around it, had basically taken from
him, Spencer said in an interview at this years Cannes
Film Festival. So I wanted to be a part of it for my
nephews ... all the young men of color whose lives some-
times feel more expendable in a way. ... Theyre so many
reasons.
Fruitvale Station, which stars Michael B. Jordan as
Grant and was helmed by rst-time director Ryan Coogler,
won the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the Sundance
Film Festival, as well as Prize of the Future at Cannes. It
has drawn critical praise and prompted comparisons to the
racially charged death of another young black male,
Trayvon Martin.
Fruitvale is also generating early Oscar buzz.
It was Spencers rst high-prole role since her Academy
Award-winning turn as a feisty maid in the racial dramedy
The Help. The actress, who was virtually unknown before
starring in that blockbuster, admits that the success of that
performance changed the way she considers future roles.

If left uncorrected, little misunderstand-
ings can lead to big trouble. Thats what
happens in Beckys New Car, presented
by Dragon Productions in downtown
Redwood City.
In this 2008 comedy by Steven Dietz,
Rebecca Foster, or Becky, (Mary Lou Torre)
works as the ofce manager in a luxury car
dealership.
She and her husband, Joe (Ben Ortega), a
successful roofer, have been married 28
years and have a 26-year-old son, Chris
(Sam Bertken), a psychology major who
still lives at home.
Beckys life has become humdrum until
late one afternoon when a wealthy widower,
Walter Flood (Kevin Copps), shows up and
buys nine cars to give to his employees the
next day. He mistakenly assumes that shes
widowed, too, and she doesnt correct him.
One thing leads to another, and then shes
attending a party at his posh home on an
island near Seattle, where she meets
Walters adult daughter, Kensington, or
Kenni, (Roneet Aliza Rahamim). Soon
shes spending more time there while try-
ing to keep Joe unaware of her activities.
Thanks to a conversation with Steve (Jim
Johnson), a salesman at the car dealership,
Joe learns whats happening. That knowl-
edge and a subsequent event put their mar-
riage and commitment to a tough test.
Its probably no coincidence that Walter
and Steve are still grieving for their late
wives, though in different ways. Steve is
both ridiculous and hilarious as he
describes how his wife met her death on a
hike.
The plays other middle-aged character,
Ginger (Helena G. Clarkson), a friend of
Walter, is dealing with her own loss now
that her substantial inheritance has evapo-
rated, leaving her impoverished with no
employable skills.
At the end, though, Walter, Steve and
Ginger all nd ways to forge ahead with
their lives. Likewise, Joe and Becky man-
age to deal with the tests their marriage has
undergone.
As directed by James Nelson, all of this
transpires with laughs and insight. Torre is
outstanding as Becky goes through a range
of emotions while being onstage for most
of the two-act plays two hours. Thus she
provides the glue that holds everything
together.
Acting by the rest of the cast is somewhat
uneven, but not enough to detract from the
shows enjoyment.
With its dark and absurdist undertones,
Beckys New Car is a fun ride.
It continues at the Dragon Theatre, 2120
Broadway, Redwood City, through Aug. 4.

BOSTON After a week of chaos, the
suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon
bombings emerged from his hiding spot
bloodied and seemingly exhausted the
red dot of a snipers rie lighting his fore-
head. Photos of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev released
by a state police ofcer give a long-awaited
glimpse into the end of an episode that kept
the city and its suburbs on edge.
The images, the rst of Tsarnaev from
that night in April, were released to Boston
Magazine on Thursday by a state police
photographer angry about a Rolling Stone
cover shot of Tsarnaev and hoping to count-
er what he said was the music magazines
glamorization of the terror suspect.
The release was unauthorized, and Sgt.
Sean Murphy faces an internal investiga-
tion and possible suspension.
Murphys 14 photos show the 19-year-
old Tsarnaev emerging from his hiding spot
in a drydocked boat in Watertown, just west
of Boston, his right hand up in surrender in
one, his head buried in his arms in another.
In every picture of Tsarnaev, the red dot of a
snipers rie sight is trained on his head.
To Watertown resident Anna Lanzo, the
photos show a teen, as weary as he appears,
still capable of standing, running and
doing the dam-
age she worried
hed do when
she was trapped
in her house
three months
ago while her
nei ghbor hood
was on lock-
down.
I was petri-
fied, said
Lanzo, 70, who
recalled police
swarming her
yard, searching under her car and motioning
her to get back whenever she approached
her windows while they searched for
Tsarnaev.
Watertown town Councilor Cecilia Lenk
saw nothing she didnt expect in the pic-
tures of Tsarnaev, but it doesnt mean the
photos had no effect. Starting with the
Rolling Stone cover, the pictures have
revived memories of a terrifying time for
Watertown residents, she said.
Its kind of like youre not able to get
away from it, Lenk said.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to numer-
ous charges related to the April 15 bomb-
ing, which killed 3 and injured more than
260 others near the marathons nish line.

Launching its 44th season, TheatreWorks
takes its audience into possibly unfamiliar
territory with the world premiere of The
Loudest Man on Earth by Catherine Rush.
On its surface, this four-person play tells
of a budding, unconventional romance
between Haylee, a successful writer, and
Jordan, a successful director.
Haylee (the excellent Julie Fitzpatrick) is
hearing while Jordan is deaf, as is Adrian
Blue, the actor who portrays him. Blue,
who serves as sign master for the produc-
tion, is the husband of the playwright, who
is hearing.
While the play is not strictly a portrait of
their relationship, it does reflect things
that have happened to them, Rush says in
the program notes.
Haylee has a rudimentary knowledge of
American Sign Language when she meets
Jordan for the rst time and interviews him.
As they begin their relationship in New
York City, she becomes more adept at
understanding him and interpreting for
him.
That ability becomes vital when they
encounter other people, all well played by
Cassidy Brown and Mia Tagano in roles that
require versatility and quick changes. These
encounters illustrate the gap between hear-
ing and deaf cultures.
Between each scene, Jordan addresses the
audience in monologues of ASL and Visual
Vernacular, a combination of ASL and
mime. Even though Blue is a highly expres-
sive actor, its not always easy to under-
stand him without knowing his language.
On the other hand, theres another scene
in which Brown and Tagano play a
Czechoslovakian couple whose language is
incomprehensible to Haylee. This scene
illustrates the stresses and obstacles that
arise when people dont understand one
anothers language.
Director Pamela Berlin keeps the action
owing smoothly, aided by the exible set
by Jason Simms. The production also is
enhanced by Tanya Finkelsteins costumes,
Paul Tobens lighting and Cliff Caruthers
sound.
Running 95 minutes without intermis-
sion, The Loudest Man on Earth is the lat-
est main stage production to emerge from
TheatreWorks annual New Works Festival.
This years festival features staged read-
ings of two musicals and three plays in
rotating repertory from Aug. 10-18 at the
Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middleeld Road,
Palo Alto. Thats where The Loudest Man
on Earth will continue through Aug. 4. For

once been an intern, doing the same
duties I was currently applying for, it
was one of the best experiences she
had undergone, and now it was my
turn. I left the ofce praying that I
had done well enough, and when I
received Jon Mays phone call a few
days later, I couldnt help but feel
accomplished.
Ayear later, I earned a spot as a
columnist after polishing my skills
writing columns for my school news-
paper the year before. Ive written
about local tragedies, student support
groups and even art in education at
the Daily Journal, giving my opinion
on all topics. What I did not expect
was a reader giving an opinion of his
own that would help me make a very
big decision where to go to col-
lege. He told me you can tell an intel-
ligent person by the things they say
and a wise person by the questions
they ask. School is about learning
when to say and when to ask and the
university that encourages me to do
so will be the proper choice for me,
and I agreed with him. Through
expressing my thoughts and concerns
about attending different universities,
I learned you can learn countless les-
sons from other people if you put
yourself out there rst.
Every Wednesday for the past two
years, I have been fortunate enough
to be surrounded by the amazing edi-
torial staff. They are funny, intelli-
gent and Jeopardy whizzes.
Conversations in the ofce never fail
to amuse me, whether its the discus-
sion of an odd story that nds its way
to someones desk or the Christmas
sweater with which interns jokingly
get threatened. They keep every day
upbeat and entertaining while produc-
ing an applause-worthy newspaper as
they go, and my Wednesday trips to
San Mateo will be missed.
I have grown quite a bit from my
experiences with the Daily Journal
and have learned lessons both silly
and serious. The receptionist I
encountered on my rst day was cor-
rect, interning at the Daily Journal,
for those who are lucky enough to
experience it, will be one of the most
rewarding experiences to have
encountered. So, to all of the readers
who have simply taken the time to
listen to our thoughts and opinions,
thank you for your support. It is truly
appreciated.

Sholty). He also does well in his pri-
mary song, Where Is Love?
Later, he joins in on the shows most
successful song, Who Will Buy?
which starts with ve street vendors in
haunting counterpoint and ends as a
production number, well choreo-
graphed by Pauline Kanter.
Other musical aspects are more
mixed. Jon Haywards loud sound
design distorts higher notes, and some
principals mistake volume for emo-
tion. The Cockney accents can be hard
to understand.
Then theres some faulty intonation
by musical director Samuel Cisneros
orchestra and by Rich Matli as the vil-
lainous Bill Sykes.
Back on the plus side is Ryan
Mardesich as The Artful Dodger, who
nds the runaway Oliver on the streets
and takes him to Fagin, who harbors
children and teaches them how to pick
pockets. Fagin is winningly played by
Jef Valentine, who has fun with Pick a
Pocket or Two and Reviewing the
Situation.
Dickens wrote Oliver Twist to
expose how cruelly and thoughtlessly
orphans were treated in Victorian
England. The musical softens some of
those edges, but the idea is still there.
After Oliver has the courage to ask
for more gruel, Bumble sells him to an
undertaker, but Oliver runs away.
Thats when The Artful Dodger nds
him. Oliver has more adventures after
that, and the story ends on both unhap-
py and happy notes unhappy for
Nancy (Amie Shapiro), Bills girl-
friend, and happy for Oliver, who
winds up with his grandfather, Mr.
Brownlow (Ron Dritz).
This production of Oliver! repre-
sents a milestone because its the rst
in BBBs long history to use local
designers. Besides the set by Enos, the
period costumes are by production
manager Margaret Toomey. BBB has
rented sets and costumes in the past.
Despite its shortcomings, opening
night had enough pluses that it was
enthusiastically received. It also
served as a good introduction for those
who have never seen this musical or its
1968 lm.
Oliver! will continue at the Fox
Theatre, 2215 Broadway, Redwood
City, through July 21. For tickets and

DIG THIS: EARTH-MOV-
ING MACHINES ARE THE
BIGGEST TOYS AROUND AT
A SUPER-SIZED SANDBOX
IN LAS VEGAS. Ah, remember
when you were a kid? Did you
love to stand near a construction
site and watch the big earth-mov-
ing machines? Wasnt it fun play-
ing with the bright yellow Tonka
construction equipment in the
sandbox? Was Mike Mulligan and
His Steam Shovel one of your
favorite books? Well, whatever
the answers to those questions,
now is your chance to let your
inner child out in a BIG way ... in
Las Vegas. Las Vegas has a lot of
fantasy about it, to be sure, but
none grabs the imagination any
faster than Dig This, the Heavy
Equipment Playground, where
10-ton Caterpillar bulldozers and
15-ton Caterpillar excavators
wait for you to climb aboard and
take the controls.
STICKS, BLADES AND
BUCKETS. The Dig This expe-
rience begins indoors as instruc-
tors take guests through a safety
and equipment orientation course
before issuing them each a hard
hat, orange vest and two-way
radio head-set They then lead
them out to the field where the
bulldozers and excavators are
lined up. The instructors stand to
one edge of the large work-site
and give one-on-one instructions
through the headsets, clearly
explaining how to operate the
sticks, levers and buttons that
control the machine functions.
Within minutes you will be using
the bulldozers front blade to
build giant piles of dirt or push
gigantic tires. You can even drive
your bulldozer up one side of a
large mound and teeter-totter it
on the top, before driving it
down the other side. Or, in no
time at all, make a 30,000-pound
excavator rear up by pressing
its bucket to the ground.
Operations Manager and
Instructor Shawn Goulet said,
The story we hear time and time
again is that people have always
wanted to operate a piece of
heavy equipment but there was no
where to do so until Dig This
opened. As an instructor, I enjoy
watching people go from being
somewhat nervous at first, and
than about 10 minutes into their
experience, a huge smile appears
from ear to ear and theyve for-
gotten about everything else and
are now just focused on having
fun.
A MAN WITH A DREAM.
Dig This exists because owner
and founder Ed Mumm was fasci-
nated by these amazing
machines. Mumm said, Since I
was a kid, I have always had a fas-
cination with big heavy equip-
ment. Funny enough, one of my
school holiday jobs was to oper-
ate the STOP/GO paddles to direct
traffic on road construction proj-
ects. I was always surrounded by
tons of all this cool equipment
but never got to operate it, only
sit in it during my lunch breaks. I
really wanted to fire one up, but
no one would let me. It wasnt
until years later, when Mumm
was building a house and had to
do some excavating, that he got
his chance to play out those
childhood dreams. Mumm said,
With the help of a friend who
was an experienced operator, we
rented a bulldozer and 20 ton
excavator and started tearing the
place up. After two hours of oper-
ating the excavator I was having
so much fun and it occurred to me,
if Im having this much fun,
imagine the number of people out
there who would love to experi-
ence this but cant. Thus, Dig
This was born.
TOYS FOR BIG BOYS ...
AND BIG GIRLS. Today,
Mumm helps guests find the same
thrill he did. He was surprised to
find that his largest group of
sales is to women 55 to 70. He
said, Originally I thought only
men would be into this. As soon
as we opened our doors for busi-
ness, it became very obvious that
I was wrong. Half of our clients
are woman who apparently have
also craved the opportunity to
play in bulldozers and excava-
tors. I think it is very empower-
ing for them and is fantastic ther-
apy to take control of a 20 ton
piece of machinery and tear up
some earth and whatever else is
in their way.
FOR MORE INFORMA-
TION. Dig This is located at
3012 S. Rancho Drive, Las
Vegas, Nev., just minutes from
The Strip. Sessions can be
arranged from 90 minutes to three
and a half-hours, allowing ample
time to rip, crush, doze and dig.

No one knows exactly how the 16-
year-old Chinese student got to that
spot, but ofcials say one thing is clear
now: She somehow survived the crash.
And in the chaotic moments that fol-
lowed ames devouring the fuselage,
those aboard escaping by emergency
slides, ight attendants frantically cut-
ting away seat belts to free passengers
a re truck ran over Yuan, killing her.
The new details released Friday by
the coroners ofce compounded the
tragedy for her family and conrmed the
growing suspicions that emergency
workers have had since soon after the
July 6 crash: One of the three who died
did so by rescuers actions.
Theres not a lot of words to describe
how badly we feel, how sorry we feel,
said San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne
Hayes-White.
Yuans family was upset after learning
the details of their daughters death and
wants her body returned to China, San
Mateo County Coroner Robert
Foucrault said. It was a difcult conver-
sation, he said.
Hayes-White said she was trying to
arrange a meeting with them and that
the tragic accident would prompt a
review of how the re department uses
the foam and responds to emergencies
at the airport.
Theres always room for us to
evaluate and improve our response,
she said. (Theres) very unfortunate
news today. However, many, many
lives were saved and we made a
valiant effort to do so.
In a statement, the Chinese
Consulate called on authorities to deter-
mine responsibility for Yuans death.
Hayes-White said she did not immedi-
ately foresee any disciplinary action.
San Francisco police and the National
Transportation Safety Board are inves-
tigating the incident.
In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard
the Boeing 777 survived the crash at
San Francisco International Airport.
Yuan and her close friend, 16-year-old
Wang Linjia, who also died, were stu-
dents at Jiangshan Middle School in
Zhejiang, an afuent coastal province
in eastern China, Chinese state media
has reported. They were part of a group
of students and teachers from the school
who were heading to summer camp in
Southern California.
Yuan and Linjia were seated at the
back of the plane. Authorities say the
jetliner came in too low and too slow,
clipping its landing gear and then its
tail on a rocky seawall just short of the
runway.
Linjias body was found near the sea-
wall at the edge of the runway. It was
unclear how Yuan got from the airplane
to the spot where she died.
Investigators believe she was down on
the ground and not standing up during
the volatile and dangerous after-
math of the plane crash, the re chief
said.
Foucrault declined to go into detail on
how he determined the teenager was
alive before she was struck, but said
there was internal hemorrhaging that
indicated her heart was still beating at
the time.
Authorities conrmed last week that
Yuan was hit by a vehicle racing to
extinguish the ames in the plane.
Police said she was on the ground and
covered in the foam that rescuers had
sprayed on the wreckage.
Fireghting crews apply the foam
not only to stop the re and cool the
fuselage but to suppress fuel vapors.
They continue to spray it to maintain
the blanket because it can break down
under certain conditions, re depart-
ment spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge
said.
Fire trucks usually start shooting
foam while approaching the fuselage
from 80 or 100 feet away. The foam is
also used to clear a safe path for evac-
uees, experts say.
This is very rare. Ive never heard of
it before. Im not aware of any other sim-
ilar incident in my 35 years in the re
service, said Ken Willette, a division
manager for the National Fire Protection
Agency, which sets national standards
for training aireld reghters.
Willette said that amid the chaotic
scene that included a burning aircraft,
hundreds of survivors running for their
lives as well as those who needed to
be rescued the reghters other pri-
mary objective was to put down a foam
blanket to suppress the re.
Their training kicks in at a time like
that and they focus on what they see on
scene, Willette said. Their mission
going into that operation was getting
into the aircraft, to save as many lives
as possible and avoid hitting any of the
people who may have been going away
from the scene.
But for reasons unknown, the coro-
ner has conrmed that this young lady
who was in the area of the crash was run
over by a re apparatus. This was a very
tragic accident.

president of the group. The mother of
four daughters and grandmother of
seven also maintains her job as a real
estate agent for Coldwell Banker. She
lives in Palo Alto.
Peninsula Volunteers Mary Young
nominated Grifths and said it was a
no-brainer to select her given the 50
years Grifths had given in support of
the organization.
I didnt even know I was nominat-
ed, Griffiths admitted. I was
absolutely oored and humbled. I want
more of the community to know what
we do here. We need to make money
because this is a very expensive place
to run.
Peninsula Volunteers provides more
than $5 million in services, including
130,000 hot meals to seniors and the
homebound through their Meals on
Wheels program.
KPIX sponsored the honor, which
acknowledges her service to the com-
munity. The television station came
by the organizations Little House cen-
ter in Menlo Park July 9 to lm and
interview her on her philanthropic
life. The station aired footage of an
interview it conducted with Grift hs.
I always was concerned about the
aging process because the women in
my family lived a long time, Grift hs
said. It was also a way to get out of
the diaper pail. Theres been more of a
need in the community over the years
[for our programming] since more peo-
ple are living longer.
One of Grifths favorite events over
the years has been the Authors
Salon, which has been running for 28
years. The group now works with
Books Inc. to host an annual lunch and
author presentation.
Griffiths attended Stanford
University, where she got married dur-
ing her senior year. She and her hus-
band John moved to Alaska, where she
taught and he served in the ROTC.
When his G.I. Bill benets were cut
off, John tended bar and worked as a
postman to make ends meet.
They returned to Palo Alto after 19
months in Alaska and her husband pur-
sued a law degree at Stanford. He would
go on to practice as a mediator in con-
struction litigation until his death 11
years ago.
She got her real estate license in
1973 and has been selling homes
since.
Griffiths said shes glad to see
changes in society since her college
days.
I didnt have an identity besides
being Johns wife when my husband
was in law school, Grifths said. It
was so chauvinistic those days. Its so
different today. Women are where its
at; women have more opportunities
now.
What advice does she have for young
women today?
Whatever you want to do, do it,
she said. Dont lose your femininity,
be kind to your fellow human beings
and join Peninsula Volunteers.

Volunteers, go to penvol.org .
Grifths interview can be found on the
CBS 5 website. Her interview also airs
on KCBS All News 740 AM and FM
106.9 at 11:50 a.m. and 3:50 p.m.

SUMMARY OF
PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
The City Council of the
City of Millbrae, at its
meeting on July 9, 2013,
introduced an Ordinance
entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY OF
MILLBRAE AMENDING
AND RESTATING IN ITS
ENTIRETY MILLBRAE
MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 5.60
REGARDING THE
REGULATION OF
BUSINESSES IN
THE CITY OF
MILLBRAE PROVIDING
MASSAGE THERAPY
SERVICES
The proposed Ordinance
alters the City's regulatory
role relative to massage
therapy services to reflect
new State law and is
based on the ordinance
adopted by the County of
San Mateo in 2012 and
codified in Chapter 5.44 of
Title 5 of the San Mateo
County Ordinance Code,
"Massage Establish-
ments." As required by
new State law, a single
permitting process for all
massage practitioners es-
tablished at the State level
replaces the myriad of per-
mitting programs adopted
by individual counties and
cities. The proposed Ordi-
nance requires massage
practitioners and thera-
pists working in the City to
be State-certified; requires
all massage businesses in
the City to register and ob-
tain a City business li-
cense; includes new oper-
ating attire and hygiene re-
quirements for massage
practitioners and business-
es that are consistent with
current best practices and
legal limits; provides relat-
ed enforcement mecha-
nisms to complement
those in place at the State
level; and specifies limited
exemptions, such as for li-
censed medical professio-
nals. All five members of
the City Council, to wit,
Councilmembers Lee, Co-
lapietro, Gottschalk, Oliva
and Mayor Papan, were
present and voted in favor
of the introduction of this
Ordinance.
The proposed Ordinance
will be presented to the
City Council for adoption
on July 23, 2013.
This Summary was pre-
pared by the City Attorney
in accordance with Gov-
ernment Code Section
36933(c)(1).
