SUDDEN ACCELERATION CASE SET TO
BEGIN IN CALIFORNIA
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After tentatively allocating
more than $42 million in Measure
Asales tax money for the next two
fiscal years, county supervisors
are ready to tackle two big-ticket
items seeking a piece of the annu-
al $64 million revenue.
The Board of Supervisors
Tuesday will consider $11.5 mil-
lion for seismic upgrades at pri-
vate Seton Medical Center in Daly
City and $10 million for subsi-
dized paratransit through the San
Mateo County Transit District.
The Seton request in particular was
one of the possible funding recip-
ients mentioned on the November
2012 ballot seeking the half-cent
sales tax increase which is why
board President Don Horsley said
county residents shouldnt balk at
the request.
I think we made it pretty clear
in the election process that we
want to make sure all hospitals are
seismically safe and it would prob-
ably receive substantial assis-
tance from the county. We were
pretty transparent and I think we
made our case to the 65 percent of
voters who approved it, Horsley
said.
Even if the Board of Supervisors
tentatively approve the propos-
als, it must still formally adopt
the plans this fall after all requests
are vetted.
The Seton agreement is for Oct.
1, 2013 through June 30, 2014
and facilitated through low-
income insurance provider Health
Plan San Mateo. In exchange for
the money, Seton agrees to con-
tinue providing safety net servic-
es at current levels and use no less
than $2 million on the state-man-
dated seismic xes.
Seton will also be required to
hire a consultant to create a strate-
gic business plan which the coun-
ty will fund half of up to
$500,000. Once the plan is done,
the county and Seton can work on
a longer-term arrangement.
The SamTrans subsidy is split
between the next two scal years
to help it support paratransit
which is federally required but not
funded.

After dedicating their lives serv-
ing their country in the military,
many veterans assume their coun-
try will then jump at the chance to
help them out in their own time of
need. But many veterans who suf-
fer from disabilities after serving
in the military are finding that
they must wait years to receive
compensation from the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mike Mewkalo, 86, of Millbrae,
served 23 and a half years in the
U.S. military.
When he sub-
mitted a claim
for his heart
disease with the
VA Regional
Office in
Oakland in
October 2010,
he figured he
would receive a
decision, or a
rating, on his
disability with-
in a few
months.

Once complete, the Block 2
ofce development in downtown
Redwood city is estimated to
deliver about $350,000 annually
to the general fund and another
$10,000 yearly to the parking
fund.
The gures are based on the cur-
rent estimated value of $150 mil-
lion although the expected proper-
ty tax revenue could drop if the
project is eventually assessed at a
lower amount. The city will also
gain other revenues from business
license, utility users and sales
taxes but actual amounts are hard
to pencil out without knowing yet
what will occupy the space.
The area in question is also
known as Block 2, which is bor-
dered by Jefferson Avenue,
Middleeld Road and the Caltrain
tracks.

South San Francisco is one step
closer to opening a larger bowling
alley at the location of the now
vacant Century Theater at 410
Noor Ave.
The Planning Commission
voted unanimously Thursday
evening to approve the planning
application for the expansion and
relocation of Brentwood Bowl to a
39-lane bowling alley from its
current 16-lane one. The new cen-
ter is slated to include a
billiards/arcade area, 1,000-
square-foot bar, 3,565-square-foot
restaurant and 1,540 square feet of
ofce/retail space.
This deviates from the trend in
recent years of bowling alley clo-
sures along the Peninsula
including Serra Bowl in Daly City,
which shut its doors last year.
Kings Bowl in Millbrae was also
shut down more than a decade ago
to make room for a housing devel-
opment.
The vote was a triumph for
Brentwood Bowls owner, Millard
Tong, and its general manager of
34 years, Roy Vanotten.
Brentwood Bowl has been part
of South San Francisco since
1951, Vanotten said at Thursdays
Planning Commission meeting.
We have a past and I believe we
have a wonderful future in South
San Francisco. Generations of
families have gone through the
bowling center and they keep
coming back. I would like to keep
Brentwood Bowl an existing enti-
ty in South San Francisco.
The commission approved the

Supermans past, future
takes Comic-Con spotlight
SAN DIEGO The cape, the curl, the
S on the chest.
Superman is among comics most rec-
ognizable characters, and 75 years after
Cleveland teenagers Jerry Siegel and
Joe Schusters Kryptonian made his
debut in the pages of Action Comics
No. 1, his popularity remains stratos-
pheric.
At Comic-Con International,
Supermans presence could be seen
everywhere from attendees wearing
various incarnations of his many cos-
tumes to scenes from the television
serials, cartoons, lms, and even in
comic books.
Superman was the rst comic
book superhero and the rst
cross-media sensation.
Practically every-
one of every
g e n e r a t i o n
knows and rec-
ognizes the
character, so thats
a huge asset for
his ongoing popu-
larity, said Rob
Salkowitz, author of
Comic-Con and the
Business of Pop Culture.
Batman has been more
successful in the past couple of
decades because he is in some
ways more relatable but also
because of the times. Batman
speaks to our fears. Hes about revenge
and darkness, he said. Superman
speaks to our hopes. Hes about tran-
scending our limitations. Hes about
using vast power for public good, not
private gain.
Jim Lee, co-publisher at DC
Entertainment who, along with writer
Scott Snyder, created the new Superman
comic book Superman Unchained,
said few characters have been as rele-
vant as Superman for so long.
Name another character thats been
around for 75 years thats still being
published and relevant, challenged
Lee.
There are very few that are still rele-
vant to todays culture and to todays
audience that are still being published,
Lee said, giving as examples that
Superman was a social crusader in the
1930s, fought Nazis in the 1940s,
was a yuppie in the 1980s and in the
90s had a mullet!
His popularity can be meas-
ured in not just sales of
comics, but in tickets, too.
Zack Snyders Man of
Steel has made more than
$630 million at the box
ofce. And Saturdays
announcement of a sequel,
of sorts, became the buzz of
Comic-Con with news that
it would pair Superman with
DCs other big name hero,
Batman.
Lets face it, its beyond
mythological to have Superman
and our new Batman facing off, since
they are the greatest super heroes in the
world, Snyder said.
At a Comic-Con panel exploring
Supermans history, and his future, a
team of creators who have written the
character, and actors on the shows and
lms about him, spoke about
Supermans relevance and invulnerabil-
ity to obsolescence.
Like Batman, this is a very mal-
leable character that can change and
still be his core inuence, said writer
Grant Morrison, whose take on the
character in the pages of All-Star
Superman was critically lauded.
Morrison said that as times change,
so too, has Superman, serving as a mir-
ror not to a Phantom Zone, but to con-
temporary real life.
That was a nod to the darker tone in
Man of Steel, a grittier take on not
just Superman, but his upbringing and
inuences, too.
Hes just reecting a general tenden-
cy, as he always does. Superman has to
reect what people are feeling. I think
its an inevitable part of his develop-
ment, Morrison said. If hes dark now,
its because were all a little bit dark.
With 75 years now passed, DC
Entertainment co-publisher Dan DiDio
said that the comics will continue their
retelling of his early days, which in the
New 52 universe that launched in 2011,
includes a budding romantic relation-
ship with Wonder Woman, a return trip
to Krypton and more.

O
n Aug. 16, 1942, sirens blazed and
the police squad car sped down the
Daly City streets. After a confusing
call at the police station, the chief immedi-
ately ran to the garage and got into a squad
car, turned the siren on and, with tires
screeching, proceeded to the 400 block of
Bellevue Avenue in Daly City.
Fireghters were already there when the
chief spotted a navy blimp in a deated state
laying in the street. Acrowd had formed by
the houses on the street because the remen
and others were keeping them from getting
into the gondola of the blimp. Ablimp is a
lighter-than-air vehicle that is powered and
can be steered. This blimp was named L-B
and was a 150 feet long and about 47 feet at
its widest and could be lled with 123,000
feet of helium. It was powered by two 145
horsepower engines that allowed it to reach
a speed of 60 mph. It carried two depth
charges and machine guns. It was being used
to spot submarines along the coast and
destroy them if possible. Japanese subs had
been reported along the West Coast and had
shelled facilities in Southern California and
Oregon.
After the war, we found out that subs had
been ready to shell San Francisco but the
captain called it off and returned to Japan.
Why were there blimps along the West
Coast and where did they come from? In
1931, the city of Sunnyvale sold, to the
U.S. government, more than 1,000 acres of
farmland by Mountain View and Highway
101 for a dollar. This induced the govern-
ment to authorize the building a hangar for
the worlds biggest airship at that time
the U.S. Navys airship, USS Macon. It was
dedicated as Naval Air Station Sunnyvale
and later named Moffett Field in honor of
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett who had
died after the crash of the USS Akron during
a storm on the coast of New Jersey April
4,1933.
In 1931, Hangar One, one of the worlds
largest freestanding structures, was con-
structed. Its oor covered 8 acres and can
accommodate six football fields, and is
1,133 feet long and is 308 feet long. On
April 16, 1942, control of the facility was
returned to the Navy and it was recommis-
sioned as Naval Air Station Sunnyvale.
Later Hangar 2 and 3 were built to house
lighter-than-air aircraft to defend the
coasts of the United States.
Which brings us back to the blimp that
fell down in Daly City on Bellevue Avenue.
A timetable was put together when the
blimp L-8 left Treasure Island with two men
aboard at 6:03 a.m. At 7:42 a.m., a oil slick
was reported seen by Cody and Adams ve
miles off the Farallones and they were
going to investigate. This meant getting
closer and lower to the Japanese sub, which
would complicate the operation. There was
no further contact by the L-8. At 8:50 a.m.,
radio calls to the blimp were unanswered. At
9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., a message was sent
out to alert all airplanes to watch for the
blimp. At 10:49 a.m., a Pam Am Clipper
ship reported seeing a blimp. At 11:05
a.m., a P-38 spotted seeing a blimp near
Miles Rock Light, a lighthouse near the
main shipping lane a half mile from land.
Ten minutes later, beach people reported
seeing a blimp drifting and hit the cliff on
the way to land. Next the blimp dropped a
depth charge on a golf course (but it didnt
explode). After scraping a number of houses
and power lines, it settled in the 400 block
of Bellevue Avenue, Daly City.
Upon inspection by the authorities, it
was found to have dumped its fuel, the radio
was still working, the gondola door was
unlocked and open, and controls for the
blimps engines were switched on. Some
highly classied information was on the
ship, information that would have been
very valuable to the Japanese.
After an exhaustive search for the men and
the reason for the ships demise, a board of
inquiry had no choice but to rule that the
two mens disappearance was unexplained.
The two men, Lt. Ernest Cody and Ensign
Charles Adams were declared dead.
On July 1, 1944, NAS Moffett Field was
closed as a Naval air station and turned over
to the NASA Research Center. Although
NASA decided to tear down the hangars due
to toxic conditions, much debate was fol-
lowed by a partial destruction of the hangar
skins, hoping to maybe save the skeleton
for historical purposes. In April 2011, the
exterior panels began coming down, start-
ing on top of the hangers.

Man killed on Interstate 280
stopped to help crash victims
Aman who was killed on Interstate 280 in
Woodside Sunday morning had likely
stopped to help victims of a crash, the
California Highway Patrol said.
Ofcers rst responded to reports of a
crash involving multiple vehicles on
southbound 280 north of Woodside Road at
about 2:40 a.m., CHP Ofcer Art Montiel
said.
Apreliminary investigation revealed that
the 25-year-old driver of a black Honda
allowed his car to clip the rear of a Toyota
SUV, causing the Toyota to lose control and
strike the center divide, Montiel said.
Two people in the SUV suffered minor
injuries.
Immediately after the crash, a witness in a
Jeep pulled over on the right shoulder and
got out of his vehicle, apparently to assist
the crash victims, Montiel said.
As the man crossed the highway, he was
struck by an oncoming Inniti SUV and
killed, according to the CHP.
Interstate 280 was closed for around three
hours, and the driver of the Honda, who was
later identified as Charles Miranda, of
Vallejo, was arrested by the CHP for sus-
pected drunk driving.
Anyone who might have witnessed the
incident should call the CHP at (650) 369-
6261.
Suspicious person seen eeing from
scene of East Palo Alto homicide
East Palo Alto police say they are search-
ing for a suspicious person seen eeing
from the scene of a fatal shooting Saturday
afternoon.
Police were called to the scene of the
shooting on the 400 block of Larkspur
Avenue by a Shot Spotter activation sig-
naling gunshots in the area, according to
Detective Angel Sanchez.
They found the victim, described as a 30-
year-old male, Latino East Palo Alto resi-
dent, sitting in the drivers seat of a vehicle
with multiple gunshot wounds.
Firefighters declared him dead at the
scene.
Detectives have learned the victim was
approached by unknown suspects who red
multiple rounds into the vehicle.
Atipster has reported seeing a suspicious
male running through the Martin Luther
King Park after the shooting, wearing a red
hat and a white shirt. A dark green or gray
car was also seen in the area at the time.
The shooting does not appear to be gang
related at this time, but the investigation is
ongoing, Sanchez said.
Anyone with information is asked to call
Detective Tommy Phengsene at (650)798-
5947 or police dispatch at (650) 321-1112.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDWOOD CITY The estranged wife of
the Northern California limousine driver
who was behind the wheel when a re in the
vehicle killed ve women celebrating a wed-
ding said he had been arguing with her on
the phone moments before the blaze,
according to a newspaper report Sunday.
Rachel Raquel Hernandez-Brown said
that during their shouting match, Orville
Brown turned up the music in the limo so his
passengers couldnt hear the tense conver-
sation.
The music was really loud. And I kept
yelling, I cant hear you. Turn it down,
Hernandez-Brown told the newspaper. I
said, Youre not paying attention. You
know, like, get off the phone. Stop calling
me.
One of the nine nurses in the vehicle said
she banged on the partition to warn the driv-
er that the back of the limo was lling with
smoke.
Brown told authorities that he initially
misunderstood the warning as a request to
smoke a cigarette and kept driving.
Hernandez-Brown, in her rst comments
about the May 4 vehicle re, said Brown
called moments after getting out of the limo
to tell her it was ablaze.
He was continuously calling me back,
she told the Mercury News. I said, Well,
what made you call me rst? He said, Well,
I dont know, I didnt know who else to
call.
The couple have four children and separat-
ed about a month before the re on the San
Mateo Bridge.
Hernandez-Brown called police hours
before the blaze to report that Brown had
kicked and dented her car during an argu-
ment. He had left the scene before police
arrived.
We need to follow up on this, Karen
Guidotti, chief deputy San Mateo County
district attorney, told the newspaper when
told of its nding.
California High Patrol Capt. Mike
Maskarich said Sunday that investigators
did interview Hernandez-Brown, but he
declined to discuss what she said.

LOS ANGELES Noriko Uno
was afraid of driving fast, often
avoiding the freeway and taking
the same route every day from her
Upland home to and from her fam-
ilys sushi restaurant. She had put
only 10,000 miles on her 2006
Camry in about four years.
So when her car unexpectedly
accelerated to speeds up to 100
mph on a street with a posted limit
of 30, the 66-year-old bookkeeper
did everything she could to slow
down, stepping on the brake pedal
and pulling the emergency handle
as she swerved to avoid hitting
other vehicles.
Uno was killed when her car
went onto a median and struck a
telephone pole and a tree.
First to trial
Her case is the rst to go to trial
in a proceeding that could deter-
mine whether Toyota Motor Corp.
should be held liable for sudden
unintended acceleration in its
vehicles a claim made by
motorists that plagued the
Japanese automaker and led to law-
suits, settlements and recalls of
millions of its cars and SUVs.
Toyota decided to make safety
an option instead of a standard on
their vehicles, said attorney Garo
Mardirossian, who is representing
Unos husband and son. They
decided to save a few bucks, and by
doing so, it cost lives.
Toyota has said there was no
defect in Unos Camry. The
automaker has blamed such crash-
es on accelerators that got stuck,
oor mats that trapped the gas
pedal and driver error. The compa-
ny has settled some wrongful
death cases and agreed to pay more
than $1 billion to resolve lawsuits
where owners said the value of
their vehicles plummeted after
Toyotas recalls because of sud-
den-acceleration concerns.
The Uno trial, starting with jury
selection Monday, is expected to
last two months. The proceeding
represents the rst of the bell-
wether cases in state courts, which
are chosen by a judge to help pre-
dict the potential outcome of other
lawsuits making similar claims.
Other cases expected to go to
trial in state courts this year
include one in Oklahoma and
another in Michigan. There are
more than 80 similar cases led in
state courts.
The Toyota litigation has gone
on parallel tracks in state and fed-
eral court with both sides agreeing
to settlements so far. A federal
judge in Orange County is dealing
with both wrongful death and eco-
nomic loss lawsuits that have
been consolidated. Hes expected
to give nal approval to the eco-
nomic loss settlement next week.
Federal lawsuits contend that
Toyotas electronic throttle con-
trol system was defective and
caused vehicles to surge unexpect-
edly. Plaintiffs attorneys have
deposed Toyota employees,
reviewed software code and pored
over thousands of documents.
Toyota has denied the allegation
and neither the National Highway
Trafc Safety Administration nor
NASAfound evidence of electronic
problems. Atrial in one of the lead
cases is scheduled for November.
The Uno trial will likely focus
on why Toyota didnt have a mech-
anism to override the accelerator if
the gas and brake pedals are
pressed simultaneously in Camrys
sold in the U.S. The automaker put
the brake override system in its
European eet, Mardirossian said.
Toyota said Unos vehicle was
equipped with a state-of-the-art
braking system and denied any
defect played a role in her death.
We are condent the evidence
will show that a brake override
system would not have prevented
this accident and that there was no
defect in Mrs. Unos vehicle, the
automaker said in a statement
about the upcoming trial.
Legal observers said Unos
attorneys wont necessarily have
to prove what was wrong with the
vehicle, but show that the accident
could have been prevented with a
brake override system.
If the plaintiff succeeds in convinc-
ing a jury it wasnt human error, that it
was attributed to the car, I think they
have a strong case, said Gregory
Keating, a law professor at the
University of Southern California.
Jurors, as drivers, are likely to
believe strongly that cars shouldnt
become uncontrollable in this way.
It was nearly four years ago when
Uno, who was out grocery shop-
ping and depositing receipts from
the restaurant, died after her car
went onto a median, struck a tele-
phone pole and then hit a large tree.
Witnesses told police they saw Uno
swerve to avoid hitting an oncom-
ing truck, according to the lawsuit.
Driver error?
Mardirossian said Uno was a
cautious driver and neither oor
mats nor driver error were to
blame. He said witnesses heard the
Camry engine racing and saw
brake lights going on and off.
Pulling the handbrake had zero
effect, Mardirossian said.
Imagine her strapped into her
Toyota Camry driving 100 mph
knowing the next move would be
fatal, he said. She saved many
lives by veering off into that cen-
ter median knowing that death was
near.
That same day Aug. 28, 2009
off-duty California Highway
Patrol Ofcer Mark Saylor and three
family members were killed on a
suburban San Diego freeway when

SACRAMENTO Across the
West, early miners digging for
gold, silver and copper had no idea
that one day something else very
valuable would be buried in the
piles of dirt and rocks they tossed
aside.
Theres a rush in the U.S. to nd
key components of cellphones,
televisions, weapons systems,
wind turbines, MRI machines and
the regenerative brakes in hybrid
cars, and old mine tailings piles
just might be the answer. They
may contain a group of versatile
minerals the periodic table called
rare earth elements.
Uncle Sam could be sitting on a
gold mine, said Larry Meinert,
director of the mineral resource
program for the U.S. Geological
Survey in Reston, Va.
The USGS and Department of
Energy are on a nationwide scram-
ble for deposits of the elements
that make magnets lighter, bring
balanced hues to uorescent light-
ing and color to the touch screens
of smartphones in order to break
the Chinese stranglehold on those
supplies.
They were surprised to nd that
the critical elements could be in
plain sight in piles of rubble oth-
erwise considered eyesores and
toxic waste. One eras junk could
turn out to be this eras treasure.
Those were almost never ana-
lyzed for anything other than what
they were mining for, Meinert
said. If they turn out to be valu-
able that is a win-win on several
fronts getting us off our
dependence on China and having a
resource we didnt know about.
The 15 rare earth elements were
discovered long after the gold rush
began to wane, but demand for
them only took off over the past
10 years as electronics became
smaller and more sophisticated.
They begin with number 57
Lanthanum and end with 71
Lutetium, a group of metallic
chemical elements that are not rare
as much as they are just difcult to
mine because they occur in tiny
amounts and are often stuck to
each other.
Unlike metals higher up on the
table such as silver and gold,
theres no good agent for dissolv-
ing elements so closely linked in
atomic structure without destroy-
ing the target. It makes mining for
them tedious and expensive.
The reason they havent been
explored for in the U.S. was
because as long as China was pre-
pared to export enough rare earths
to ll the demand, everything was
ne like with the oil cartels.
Gold rush-era discards could fuel cellphones, TVs
IDYLLWILD Thousands of people
were allowed to return to their homes
in Southern California mountain com-
munities near Palm Springs on
Sunday, after firefighters aided by
heavy rain made substantial progress
against a week-old wildre that has
burned across 42 square miles and
destroyed seven homes.
The Riverside County Sheriffs
Department lifted evacuation orders at 11
a.m. for the communities of Idyllwild,
Fern Valley and Pine Cove, from which
thousands had ed the advancing ames
ve days before. Authorities said only
local residents and business people
would be allowed to return.
Evacuation orders for several smaller
nearby communities had been lifted
earlier in the day.
Some 6,000 people ed the idyllic
little towns that dot the San Jacinto
Mountains between Palm Springs and
Hemet after the re broke out Monday
and quickly raged across the heavily
wooded area. Twenty-three structures,
including the seven homes, were
destroyed.

NATION 7
By Lara Jakes
JOINT BASE CHARLESTON,
S.C. The audience gasped in
surprise and gave a few low whis-
tles as Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel delivered the news that fur-
loughs, which have forced a 20
percent pay cut on most of the
militarys civilian workforce,
probably will continue next year,
and it might get worse.
Those are the facts of life,
Hagel told about 300 Defense
Department employees, most of
them middle-aged civilians, last
week at an Air Force reception
hall on a military base in
Charleston.
Future layoffs also are possible
for the departments civilian
workforce of more than 800,000
employees, Hagel said, if
Congress fails to stem the cuts in
the next budget year, which starts
Oct. 1.
On the heels of the departments
first furlough
day, and in
three days of
visits with
members of the
Army, Navy,
Air Force and
Marine Corps,
Hagel played
the unenviable
role of messen-
ger to a frustrated and fearful
workforce coping with the
inevitability of a spending
squeeze at the end of more than a
decade of constant and costly war.
The scal crunch also lays bare
the politically unpopular, if per-
haps necessary, need to bring run-
away military costs in line with
most of the rest of the American
public that has struggled econom-
ically for years.
Everybodys bracing for the
impact, Army Master Sgt. Trey
Corrales said after Hagel spoke
with soldiers during a quick stop
at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Corrales wife, a military civil-
ian employee, is among those fur-
loughed, and they have cancelled
their cable TVand started carpool-
ing to work to save money.
The effects of the economy
have started to hit the military,
Corrales said. It was late in com-
ing to us.
The furloughs have hit about
650,000 civilian employees but
also have slowed health care and
other services for the uniformed
military, which has stopped some
training missions and faces equip-
ment shortages due to the budget
shortfalls. Troops were told this
month they will no longer receive
extra pay for deployments to 18
former global hot spots no longer
considered danger zones.
Troops already are facing force
reductions, and the Army alone
has announced plans to trim its
ranks by 80,000 over the next
ve years.
Ofcials agree that the military
has undergone cycles of expand-
ing and shrinking of the force
over generations. Hagel said this
time is different, and worse, how-
ever, because of what he described
as a very dark cloud of uncer-
tainty hanging over the Pentagon
as Congress considers whether to
reverse $52 billion in spending
cuts that are set to go into effect
in 2014.
At the Naval Air Station in
Jacksonville, Fla., Hagel told an
estimated 100 civilians gathered
in a bustling jet maintenance
hangar that the military had not
been prepared for the $37 billion
in cuts that took effect this year,
forcing the furloughs. While he
said he was deeply sorry for the
strain the crunch has put on fami-
lies, he said he would not slash
troops training or other readi-
ness budgets any further to pre-
vent huge gaps in national securi-
t y.
Im sure you realize how dis-
ruptive the furlough is to our pro-
ductivity. So Im hoping that
were not going to do it again
next year, Elizabeth Nealin, a
research and engineering manager
at the navy bases eet readiness
center, told Hagel.
Have you planned for a reduc-
tion in force? Nealin asked
bluntly.
Hagel said if the $52 billion cut
remains in place, there will be
further cuts in personnel, make no
mistake about that.
I dont have any choice, he
said.
The spending cuts this year may
feel more dramatic than in times
past because of a vast growth in
Defense Department personnel
and equipment costs over the past
decade, said Todd Harrison, a sen-
ior fellow at the Center for
Strategic and Budgetary
Assessments in Washington. But
current spending levels are close
to what they were in 2007, when
the war in Iraq was at its peak.
So were not even back to a
pre-9/11 level, he said.
Pentagon chief: Furloughs likely continue
Chuck Hagel
WASHINGTON Three years
after campaigning on a vow to
repeal and replace President
Barack Obamas health care law,
House Republicans have yet to
advance an alternative for the sys-
tem they have voted more than
three dozen times to abolish in
whole or in part.
Officially, the effort is in
progress and has been since
Jan. 19, 2011,
according to
GOP. gov, a
leadership-run
website.
But internal
divisions, dis-
a g r e e m e n t
about political
tactics and
Obamas 2012
re-election add up to uncertainty
over whether Republicans will
vote on a plan of their own before
the 2014 elections, or if not by
then, perhaps before the president
leaves ofce, more than six years
after the original promise.
Sixteen months before those
elections, some Republicans cite
no need to offer an alternative. I
dont think its a matter of what we
p u t o n t h e oor right now, said
Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, who
heads the partys campaign com-
mittee.

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio
Authorities responding to a report
of a foul odor from a home discov-
ered a body and arrested a regis-
tered sex offender who sent police
and volunteers through a poor
Ohio neighborhood in a search for
more victims, officials said
Sunday.
East Cleveland Police Chief
Ralph Spotts said Sunday that
searchers should be prepared to
nd one or two more victims, but
he declined to elaborate. Mayor
Gary Norton said the suspect has
indicated he might have been
influenced by Cleveland serial
killer Anthony Sowell, who was
convicted in 2011 of murdering 11
women and sentenced to death.
Its the latest in a series of high-
prole cases involving the disap-
pearance of women from the
Cleveland area.
One body was found Friday in a
garage. Two others were found
Saturday one in a backyard and
the other in the basement of a
vacant house. The three female
bodies, all wrapped in plastic
bags, were found about 100 to 200
yards apart, and authorities
believed the victims were killed in
the last six to 10 days.

WAITSFIELD, Vt. Some
Vermont farmers want to plant
hemp now that the state has a law
setting up rules to grow the plant, a
cousin of marijuana thats more
suitable for making sandals than
getting high.
But federal law forbids growing
hemp without a permit, so farmers
could be risking the farm if they
decide to grow the plant that the
Drug Enforcement Agency basically
considers marijuana.
Hemp and marijuana share the
same species cannabis sativa
but hemp has a negligible content
of THC, the psychoactive com-
pound in marijuana. Under federal
law, all cannabis plants fall under
the marijuana label, regardless of
THC content.
To grow marijuana for industrial
purposes or research, a grower must
register with the DEAand meet spe-
cic security requirements, such as
installing costly fencing for a eld
of hemp.
A national nonprot group is
pushing to change current law and
move regulation of hemp farming
from the DEA to the state. In the
meantime, the group, Vote Hemp,
does not recommend growing hemp
while state and federal laws conict.
Its literally betting the farm,
said Tom Murphy, national outreach
coordinator for the group. Farmers
who grow it, or even conspire to
grow it and import the seeds face
jail time and the forfeiture of their
land, he said. But its unclear how
seriously the DEAwill enforce it.
Murphy said hes heard that peo-
ple have planted hemp on leased
land in Colorado.
Now if somebody chooses to do
it as civil disobedience, knowing
full well whats going to happen,
then thats on them, he said.

4 Speakers
BRUSSELS Belgians shouted
Long live the king Sunday to
welcome their new monarch to the
throne on a sunny national holi-
day. But several legislators from
northern Flanders boycotted King
Philippe Is coronation, high-
lighting longstanding feuding
between the nations Dutch-speak-
ing Flemings and Francophones
the biggest challenge the new
monarch will face.
In his rst speech as king short-
ly after his father King Albert II
abdicated, Philippe made no
attempt to paper over those
cracks, instead casting the coun-
trys division between its 6 mil-
lion Dutch-speaking Flemings
and 4.5 million Francophones as
one of its strengths.
The wealth of our nation and
our institutions consists in turn-
ing our diversity into a strength,
he said after taking his oath of
ofce at the countrys parliament.
The ceremony capped a day of
transition which started when
Philippes father, the 79-year-old
Albert, signed away his rights as
the kingdoms largely ceremonial
ruler at the royal palace in the
presence of Prime Minister Elio Di
Rupo, who holds the political
power in this 183-year-old parlia-
mentary democracy.
Less than two hours later, the
nation got its seventh king when
Philippe, 53, pledged to abide by
Belgiums laws and constitution.
Big crowds of royalists and
well-wishers cheered the royal
familys every move Sunday, from
a morning Catholic ceremony to
an impromptu dusk balcony scene
13 hours later, with the once-timid
Philippe kissing new Queen
Mathilde several times under a full
moon to augur in a sultry night of
celebration in the royal park.
We have lived through a beau-
tiful day, Philippe told thousands
of evening revelers. Lets be
proud of our beautiful country.
Far from everybody in Belgium
was happy with the new king.
One Flemish separatist group,
the Flemish Interest party, boy-
cotted the parliamentary ceremo-
ny, while the legislatures biggest
party, the N-VA New Flemish
Alliance, sent only a limited dele-
gation.
We are full-blooded democrats
and the purest form of democracy
is the republic, said Jan Jambon,
the parliamentary leader of the N-
VA alliance, which has surged to
become the main opposition
party seeking Flemish independ-
ence through democratic transi-
tion. It wants the new king not to
have any role in coalition negoti-
ations to form a new government,
not be head of the armed forces and
not sign any laws.

AMMAN, Jordan Government
troops fired mortar rounds that
slammed into a main market in a town
in northern Syria on Sunday, killing at
least 20 civilians, activist groups
said.
The mortar shells struck the town of
Ariha, which is held mostly by oppo-
sition ghters, a few hours ahead of
iftar, the meal that breaks the dawn-to-
dusk fast during the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan.
The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights and the Local
Coordination Committees, two oppo-
sition groups tracking the violence in
Syria, said at least 20 people were
killed including two children and two
women. It was not immediately clear
what triggered the shelling.
Also Sunday, state media said gov-
ernment forces killed nearly 50 rebels
in an ambush near Damascus.
Separately, Kurdish rebels freed the
local commander of an al-Qaida-linked
group in a town near Syrias northern
border with Turkey in return for 300
Kurdish civilians detained by the group.

OPINION 9
Boston bomber
Editor,
As a native of Boston and one of
thousands of people frantically trying
to contact family members who
attended the Boston Marathon, I was
horried to see Rolling Stone feature
a attering picture of the suspect on
its front page. The magazine now has
admitted it enhanced the photo. The
magazine also claims they chose that
particular photo to show younger
readers that even a normal individ-
ual could get caught up in a horric
crime. I say bull. This terrorist actual-
ly has a fan club and the magazine
knows that. To illustrate a murderer in
the same light as a rock star is noth-
ing less than disrespectful to all of
the innocent victims. Many years
ago this magazine featured Charles
Manson on its cover; however it
illustrated the picture of a mad man.
If Rolling Stone felt a need to fea-
ture this person on the cover, it
should have used the picture of him
standing behind the small child that
was killed. It would have been much
more appropriate.
The Boston Marathon has always
been a happy, festive event. I attend-
ed this event many times as a child
and all family members from infants
to grandparents were there. The ani-
mals that committed this act of terror-
ism knew what they were doing. It
took more than two days to know that
my family members were all account-
ed for and safe.
As the dust settled, our tears wiped
away and we got back to our normal
routine, it is nothing less than negli-
gent for an entertainment magazine
to bring back the horror by featuring
an enhanced and attering photo of
this suspect on their cover.

Media exaggeration
Editor,
Most young black men who are
murdered are murdered by other young
black men. Statistically, a young
black man has little to fear of any
volunteer neighborhood watchers,
despite the recent hyperbole. The
media, by exaggerating the problem
of racial proling or police brutality,
work hand in hand with greedy
lawyers who look to cash in on any
tragedy that involves the police.
Together, they encourage hostility
toward law enforcement and discour-
age our men and women in blue from
working hard in troubled areas in
cities such as Oakland, Los Angeles
or Detroit. So the slum areas in these
cities become even more lawless.
Next time a young black man is
shot by another young black man
outside Fruitvale Station and nobody
is willing to come forward with any
information, blame the likes of
Morgan, Cooper and Maddow. They
are making a killing on top of the
bodies of murdered young black men
and are laughing all the way to the
bank.

No peace
Editor,
Patricia Grays letter in the July 19
edition of the Daily Journal is titled
Jackie Speiers town hall meeting,
but ends with Pats opinions, which
are peace at any cost. She is willing
to risk Iran with atomic weapons
while she is relatively safe in the
United States. Iran with atomic
weapons could attack Israel and could
blackmail the United States, while it
develops rockets to reach the United
States. She wants the United States to
ignore the turmoil in Syria, Lebanon,
Egypt, Libya and Turkey.
Our time is, as Patrick Henry said
before the Revolutionary War: gen-
tlemen may cry peace, peace, but
there is no peace.

Letters to the editor
Orange County Register
A
t the beginning of this
month, the Standard & Poors
credit-rating agency released
a positive outlook for California, the
rst since upgrading the states rating
to A, following the Legislatures pas-
sage of Gov. Jerry Browns $96.3 bil-
lion budget. However, the rating
agency was not without its concerns
for the state still assigned the second
lowest rating, after Illinois, among
the states.
Largely free from public political
rancor, the ease with which the
Legislature and governor came to
terms over the scal 2014 budget
reects the states improved scal set-
ting, according to the report pre-
pared by S&P analyst Gabriel Petek.
That is good news for California,
but, as the report notes, the budget
didnt come out of the Democratic-
dominated statehouse completely
unscathed as a ght broke out over
whose revenue projections the budget
would use, the governors more con-
servative estimate of a $1.2 billion
surplus or a $4.4 billion surplus pre-
dicted by the Legislative Analysts
Ofce.
The spat, which the governor ulti-
mately won, but at the expense of
increased base funding for education
and a small expansion of some health
and social programs, showed that
Sacramento, if allowed, would be
quick to spend the state back into the
nearly $60 billion decit of three
years ago.
With the city of Stockton receiving
judicial approval in April to go ahead
with bankruptcy and as many as a
dozen other cities, including Fresno,
San Jose and Oakland, facing similar
challenges, Sacramento should not
become complacent with eeting
Proposition 30 money, of which the
sales tax portion is set to expire in
2016 and the income tax portion by
2018.
Rather than spend their windfall as
fast as they can, it is important that
the Legislature avoid previous trans-
gressions and use this decit reprieve
to come up with a realistic plan to
pay off what the California Public
Policy Center estimated in May to be
more than $848.4 billion in total
debt, including unfunded pension
promises.
The budget ght, if it could be
called that, also highlighted an inter-
esting part of the states budget
process: Number crunchers dont set
the budget numbers, politicians do.
When the LAO was created in 1941,
it was the rst of its kind, a nonparti-
san government agency meant to help
manage the state budget. Its founding
spurred many other states to follow
suit and even provided inspiration for
the federal Congressional Budget
Ofce.
But while a growing number of
states, nearly half, have given their
independent nancial agencies the
power to set revenue estimations for
budget formulations, the LAO has
remained purely an advisory organiza-
tion.
Although giving such power to the
states nancial watchdog this time
would have run counter to the gover-
nors belt-tightening efforts, the LAO
has historically been at odds with the
spendthrifts in Sacramento over their
rosy budget projections. So, it might
do the state budget some good if the
Legislature was required to use more
realistic numbers from experts. More
important is whether the Legislature
exercises scal responsibility with
them.

ennis Pawl, San Mateos arborist, loves his job but
the big challenge is diplomatically turning down a
citizens request to chop down a heritage tree.
Sometimes its a battle between neighbors some insist
the trees must stay and some want them removed.
San Mateos heritage tree ordinance outlines the condi-
tions under which a tree can be removed. Usually its a
health and safety issue the tree is sick and in danger of
falling. Or there are no reasonable alternatives to removal
when roots are destroying a sidewalk or garage way. This
was the case in the recent
controversy over removal of
trees in the Glazenwood
neighborhood. Aresident
wanted heritage trees
removed to enable construc-
tion of a new driveway and
garage. The city decided
there was no way to mitigate
the problem unless the
home owners paid an exor-
bitant amount of money for
a x. Neighbors who
depended on the trees for
shade and neighborhood
ambiance were bitter.
***
Pawl receives about 200 requests a year for removal of her-
itage trees. About half of these are denied unless the tree is a
hazard, is dying or causing damage which cant be reason-
ably mitigated. But those reasons can be interpreted differ-
ently depending on ones point of view. Occasionally, the
city asks an outside expert for an opinion. The expert can-
not be a tree company which is in the business of removing
trees. Those requesting a removal permit must place a $350
deposit with the city for each tree. If the permit is granted
but they do not plant a 24-inch box tree replacement, the
city keeps the deposit and it goes into a tree planting fund.
According to the citys ordinance, a heritage tree includes
oak, bay, redwood, cedar and buckeye; has a trunk diameter
of 10 inches measured at four feet above the ground. Or it is
any tree with a trunk diameter of 16 inches or more measured
at 4 feet above ground level. Permits are required to work on
these trees. It is unlawful for anyone to remove or prune
more than one quarter of the crown or existing foliage of a
heritage tree, or more than one third of the root system
without rst obtaining a permit.
The City of San Mateo has adopted the Heritage Tree
Ordinance because the citizens of San Mateo realize that
trees, especially Heritage Trees, are valuable to both indi-
vidual properties and the entire community. It is the intent
of the ordinance to pursue other methods of solving tree
related problems, using proven arboricultural techniques,
other than removing valuable trees unless absolutely neces-
sary.
One of those techniques is ramping over roots.
Pawl said if the tree drops too much stuff, thats not a rea-
son for removal. But home owners with heritage trees on
their property must maintain the tree in proper fashion
which includes routine pruning. When planting new trees,
some dont realize how fast some of them grow. Pawl said
the key is to plant the right tree in the right place.
***
The city of San Mateo has approximately 24,000 trees
located within the public right-of-way along city streets, in
street medians and within parks and city facilities.
Approximately 39 percent of these trees are large enough
in trunk diameter to be heritage trees. They include 400
coast redwoods, most of them in city parks, around city
facilities (including the new main library) and within street
medians. Central Park has 51; Beresford 93. The city also
has a street master plan to determine what should be planted
in the public right-of-way along city streets.
***
Two of the oldest neighborhoods in San Mateo, Baywood
and San Mateo Park, host most of the citys big trees. John
Parrott, while living on his spacious 377-acre Baywood
estate (1829-1917), supplemented the estates native bay
and oak trees with redwood, eucalyptus, acacias, magnolias,
sycamores, chestnut, palm, spruce and pine trees. In 1896,
when San Mateo Park was founded, George Howard and John
McLaren planned 69 landscaped medians, with Northern
California oaks and redwoods and East Coast elms, maples
and poplars. Some neighborhoods dont have enough trees.
North Central, for example, is complaining about the 115
trees Caltrain plans to remove to repair four aging bridges.
Seventy of these are heritage trees.

Pawl has been with the city for 28-and-a-half years. He
hails from the Midwest where he received a bachelors and
masters degree in urban forestry. He worked for a private
tree company for a while but always wanted to be a city
arborist. Despite the challenges, he loves looking after San
Mateos trees, both big and small.

NEW YORK Bulgaria, the United Arab
Emirates and Pakistan. An itinerary for a
traveler with a air for languages or a list of
scenes for a spy thriller set during the Cold
War?
Neither. It turns out they are among the
countries with the best-performing stock
markets in the world this year. And the suc-
cess of these so-called frontier markets,
mainly in Asia and Africa, has attracted U.S.
investors eager to nd the next set of rapidly
growing countries now that Brazil and other
emerging markets have fallen into a slump.
These places might scare some people,
says Russ Koesterich, global chief invest-
ment strategist at the money-management
giant BlackRock. But theyre seeing some
of the fastest growth in the world.
People had a similar response when
investors were dabbling in emerging mar-
kets during the 1990s, Koesterich says.
Brazil and India those used to be scary
places, too.
Unlike the U.S. and Europe or even emerg-
ing markets like China and Brazil, frontier-
market countries are a grab-bag group with
little connection to each other. But they
have a few things in common. Theyre
small, growing quickly and some, like
Kuwait and Qatar, are rich. Many of them
shunned the outside world for years and are
slowly opening their doors to outside
investments.
Thanks to rapid economic growth, the
MSCI Frontier Market index has gained 22
percent over the past 12 months. That com-
pares with a 3 percent rise for MSCIs emerg-
ing market index, and 25 percent for the
Standard & Poors 500, the benchmark U.S.
stock index.
Investing in frontier markets carries plen-
ty of dangers. Argentinas government could
decide to take over more private companies
and leave investors with nothing. The war in
Syria could spill into Lebanon and Jordan,
upending their thriving markets. Cote
dIvoire, Pakistan and many of the 37 fron-
tier countries have had coups, wars and other
turmoil over the past two decades.
Buying into them has to be a long-term
play, says Jack Ablin, chief investment
ofcer at BMO Private Bank. You have to
take some leaps of faith.
The steady rise of their stock markets has
apparently helped investors put aside their
worries. Theyve dropped money into fron-
tier market funds week after week, raising the
total to $3 billion so far this year, according
to EPFR Global, a company which tracks the
ow of investment funds. Thats triple the
amount deposited in them last year and just
shy of the full-year record of $3.07 billion
in 2010.
Cash has streamed in so quickly that
Franklin Templetons $1.3 billion frontier
fund has decided to start turning away new
investors. Its top holdings include a
Romanian oil and gas producer, OMV
Petrom, and a batch of companies from
Qatar and other countries on the Persian
Gulf.
Last month, Wells Fargos private bank-
ing group, which manages $170 billion in
clients money, took its rst step into the
frontier, pulling a portion of its money out
of emerging-markets like Brazil, China and
India and putting it into countries like
Pakistan and Vietnam.
A key reason for the move was that the
frontier markets are largely insulated from
problems plaguing bigger countries, said
Sean Lynch, the global investment strate-
gist for Wells Fargo Private Bank.
When stock and bond markets in the U.S.
and Europe were rattled by talk that the
Federal Reserve would withdraw some of its
support for the U.S. economy, many coun-
tries currencies sank against the dollar. But
Lynch noticed that frontier countries cur-
rencies held up.
Why? As a group, these less-developed
countries arent as tied to the worlds devel-
oped economies. Their industries are grow-
ing by selling to customers at home or near-
by. Kenyas East African Breweries Ltd., for
example, has most of its customers in
neighboring African countries.
They really seem impervious to whats
happening on the main stage, says Ablin.
The main attraction for investors is the
rapid economic growth. In theory, it should
pull many people in those countries out of
poverty, and as they begin to spend their
higher pay on refrigerators and mobile
phones, local businesses should ourish.
A lot of them have growing populations
and expanding workforces, and they dont
just rely on exports of food or oil, Lynch
says. Look at Vietnam. They traditionally
exported coffee, seafood and rice. Now
theyre making high-end machinery.
Frontier markets lure more investors
By Sharon Cohen
Blue-collar workers poured into the cav-
ernous auto plants of Detroit for generations,
condent that a sturdy back and strong work
ethic would bring them a house, a car and eco-
nomic security. It was a place where the
American dream came true.
It came true in cities across the industrial
heartland, from Chicagos meatpacking
plants to the re-belching steel mills of
Cleveland and Pittsburgh. It came true for
decades, as manufacturing brought prosperity
to big cities in states around the Great Lakes
and those who called them home. Detroit was
the afuent capital, a city with its own
emblematic musical sound and a storied union
movement that drew Democratic presidential
candidates to Cadillac Square every four years
to kick off campaigns at Labor Day rallies.
The good times would not last forever. As
the nations economy began to shift from the
business of making things, that line of work
met the force of foreign competition. Good-
paying assembly line jobs dried up as facto-
ries that made the cars and supplied the steel
closed their doors. The survivors of the
decline, especially whites, ed the cities to
pursue new dreams in the suburbs.
The Arsenal of Democracy that supplied
the Allied victory of World War II and evolved
into the Motor City fell into a six-decade
downward spiral of job losses, shrinking
population and a plummeting tax base.
Detroits singular reliance on an auto industry
that stumbled badly and its long history of
racial strife proved a disastrous combination,
and ultimately too much to overcome.
Detroit is an extreme case of problems
that have aficted every major old industrial
city in the U.S., said Thomas Sugrue, author
of The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and
Inequality in Postwar Detroit and a history
professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Its been 60-plus years of steady disinvest-
ment, depopulation and an intensive hostili-
ty between the city, the suburbs and the rest
of the state.
All of the nations industrial cities fell, but
only Detroit hit bottom. Staggering under as
much as $20 billion in unpaid bills, Detroit
surrendered Thursday, filing the single
largest municipal bankruptcy in American
history.
What happened in Detroit is not particu-
larly distinct, said Kevin Boyle, a history
professor at Northwestern University who
has written extensively about his home-
town. Most Midwest cities had white ight
and segregation. But Detroit had it more
intensely. Most cities had deindustrializa-
tion. Detroit had it more intensely.
Detroits rst wave of prosperity came
after World War I and lasted into the early
1920s, driven by the rise of the auto indus-
try. It was the Silicon Valley of America,
Boyle said. It was home to the most inno-
vative, cutting-edge dominant industry in
the world. The money there at that point was
just staggering.
More afuence followed in the late 1940s
and early 1950s as the auto industry was
booming. Tens of thousands of blacks
migrated from the South seeking jobs on the
assembly line and a foothold in the middle
class. In 1950, Detroits population peaked
as a metropolis of more than 1.8 million,
making it the nations fth-largest city. The
transformation was dramatic.
Autos troubles, race at root of Detroit collapse
PITTSBURGH The boom in natural gas drilling has cast
two opposing documentary lmmakers in unlikely roles.
Josh Fox, a liberal environmental activist, nds himself
at odds with President Barack Obama. Phelim McAleer, a
free-market conservative, is echoing the Democratic presi-
dents support for natural gas.
The two dont see eye-to-eye on much of anything, espe-
cially each other.
Hes a very skillful lmmaker, McAleer said of Fox.
Hes one of the most trusted scientists in America at the
moment, even though he has zero qualications. I dont
accept that, but a lot of Americans do.
Fox, in an email to The Associated Press, said McAleer is
not a credible source of information and is a climate
change denier.
Their dueling documentaries the sequel to Foxs Oscar-
nominated Gasland aired July 8 on HBO and McAleers
FrackNation aired the following night on AXS have
clear aims when it comes to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,
the gas drilling method by which chemical-laced uid is
injected into the earth to free natural gas trapped deep under-
ground.
Experts say the pro- and anti-drilling movements repre-
sented by the lmmakers each have some good points
even though Fox claims the process is an environmental and
public health disaster while McAleer says Fox distorts facts
and ignores the benets of drilling.
Dr. Jack M. Bourl a, D.C., of Provi dence
Chiropractic Center in Redwood City, was recently hon-
ored as the California Chiropractic Associations Doctor of
the Year for 2012-2013.

TOUR DE FRANCE: FROOME RIDES TO VICTORY IN 100TH RUNNING OF BICYCLE RACE >> PAGE 13
By Joseph Hoyt
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
While fans came to watch the
San Mateo Shockers take on the
Redwood City Blues on Saturday,
Shockers starting pitcher Sean
Watkins did everything in his
power to steal the show.
In a performance that needed to
be seen to be believed, Watkins
powered through the Blues lineup
striking out 14 and allowing no
hits in six innings pitched of a
19-0 rout. Oh, and he added a two-
run home run that traveled to home
plate on the opposite eld of San
Bruno Park, just for good measure.
We knew coming in that weve
beaten this team before, said
Watkins. Today we just had fun as
a team.
Watkins, who will be a senior at
Serra High School next fall, mas-
terfully used his blistering 92 mph
fastball alongside his backbreak-
ing off-speed pitches to keep
Redwood City hitters off balance
during the entirety of his pitching
performance.
What makes facing (Watkins)
tough is his ability to control and
throw his off-speed pitches for
strikes, Blues catcher Eric Bet
said. It seems like he uses is off-
speed pitches to get ahead and
then uses his fastball as an out
pitch, which gives him a huge
advantage.
While Watkins was busy wow-
ing everyone in attendance with
his pitching, the San Mateo
offense provided a plethora of re-
works on their own.
Led by catcher Jason Marley and
outfielder Nick Waldsmith, the
Shockers exploded for 19 runs in
seven innings by using a combi-
nation walks, good base running
and numerous extra base hits. A
high scoring output of this caliber
is hardly an abnormality for San
Mateo. Theyve combined to
score 47 runs in their past three
outings.
When an offense is excelling on
that high of a level, like San
Mateo has been in the past three
games, it alleviates any stress that
is associated with a typical day in
the life of a starting pitcher.
As a pitcher you just throw
strikes and let the defense work

Giants drop
series finale
against Ariz.
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey took
off from rst on Pablo Sandovals sixth-
inning double with what looked like a good
chance of scoring the tying run.
Instead, Arizona shortstop Cliff
Pennington made the perfect throw home on
a relay, and the rst-place Diamondbacks
held off a late San Francisco rally to beat
All-Star Madison Bumgarner and the Giants
3-1 on Sunday and avoid a three-game
sweep.
It happens. Thats the way it goes some-
times, Posey said. They made a good relay
and a good throw to the plate.
Posey got aboard on a leadoff walk in the
sixth, and Sandoval followed with a double
off the wall. Third-base coach Tim Flannery
claimed responsibility for the loss for send-
ing the reigning NL MVP.
You never want anybody thrown out. I
feel terrible, Flannery said. I feel respon-
sible for not getting Bum the win. It comes
with the territory. With nobody out, that
cant happen.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a sacrice y and a
double against Bumgarner, Cody Ross added
a late two-run single, and the rst-place D-
backs bounced back in the series nale.
Randall Delgado (2-3) won in his rst
career start at AT&TPark, and Goldschmidts
rst-inning sac y got things going against
the inconsistent defending World Series
champions.
We couldnt gure him out until later in
the game, manager Bruce Bochy said of
Delgado.

GULLANE, Scotland One of the great-
est nal rounds in a major. Two of the best
shots he ever struck with a 3-wood. The
third leg of the Grand Slam.
Phil Mickelson never imagined any of
this happening at the British Open.
No wonder he never took his hand off the
base of that silver claret jug as he talked
about the best Sunday he ever had at a major.
Five shots out of the lead, Mickelson blew
past Tiger Woods, caught up to Lee
Westwood and Masters champion Adam
Scott, and won golfs oldest championship
with the lowest nal round in his 80 majors.
With four birdies over the last six holes,
Mickelson closed with a 5-under 66 for a
three-shot win over Henrik Stenson.
No longer is he mystied by links golf,
and he has his name etched in that jug to
prove it.
This is such an accomplishment for me
because I just never knew if Id be able to
develop the game to play links golf effective-
l y, Mickelson said. To play the best round
arguably of my career, to putt better than Ive
ever putted, to shoot the round of my life ... it
feels amazing to win the claret jug.
Introduced as the champion golfer of the
year, he held the oldest trophy in golf over
his head to show it off to one side of the
massive grandstand lining the 18th green at
Muireld, and then the other. An hour earli-
er, they gave the 43-year-old Mickelson the
loudest ovation of the week as he walked up
the nal fairway.
He drained an 8-foot birdie putt and thrust
his arms in the air, hugged caddie Jim
Bones Mackay and whispered to him, I
did it. After signing for the lowest nal
round ever at Muireld, Mickelson huddled

By Joe Resnick
ANAHEIM For Bartolo
Colon, life not only has begun
again at 40, its even sweeter this
time around.
Colon pitched a four-hitter for
his third shutout this season and
center elder Chris Young robbed
Albert Pujols of a home run to
help the Oakland Athletics beat
the Los Angeles Angels 6-0 on
Sunday.
Ive been trying to explain it
all year and I cant, As manager
Bob Melvin said when asked how
Colon is still able to pitch at such
a high level in his 16th big league
season.
Hes a competitor. He loves to
play the game and he loves pitch-
ing. Hes always in a great mood,
and hes in an even better mood on
the day hes pitching which
you very rarely see with starting
pitchers. Hes just pitching with a
lot of condence, and we have a
lot of condence when hes on the
mound.
Eric Sogard
hit a two-run
homer to back
Colon (13-3),
who struck out
ve and walked
one. The right-
hander, making
his first start
since returning
from his third All-Star game, tied
Max Scherzer and Adam
Wainwright for the major league
lead in wins while reducing his
ERAto 2.52.
Its pretty amazing and he
was sick today on top of it,
Melvin added. You saw the veloc-
i t y. It was down all day, so he did it
a little bit differently today with
more movement and less power
and he still got it done.
Colon is 10-1 with a 1.46 ERA
over his last 12 outings.
It seems like hes dipped into
the fountain of youth, Angels
manager Mike Scioscia said. Hes
throwing the ball as well as he was
10 years ago, and theres obvious-
ly been a resurgence in his career.
For a couple of years, it looked
like age was catching up with Bart
and his velocity wasnt quite
there. But hes always had incredi-
ble command.
The 116-pitch complete game
was Colons 35th in 395 big
league starts, and the shutout was
the 12th of his career. Young pre-
served Oaklands ninth shutout of
the year when he pulled back
Pujols bid for his 492nd homer
leading off the seventh.
Pujols came up again in the
ninth with runners at rst and sec-
ond and took a called third strike
before Colon ended it by retiring
Josh Hamilton on a y to left.
Melvin went to the mound after
Colon gave up one-out singles to
J.B. Shuck and Mike Trout, but
returned to the dugout without
him.
Hes never asked me for any-
thing. Every time Ive taken him
out of a game when it looked like
he could go another inning, hes
always been great about it,
Melvin said. But this was the rst
time he said, Give me one more
baserunner.
Colon, who spent four seasons
with the Angels and became the
second pitcher in club history to
win a Cy Young Award with a
career-high 21 wins in 2005, is 5-
1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight starts
against them since leaving as a
free agent in October 2007.
Colon set down the Angels in
order in four of the first five
innings. The only exception was
the third, when he gave up a one-
out single by Chris Iannetta and a
walk to Erick Aybar before retiring
Shuck on a double-play grounder.
It was the 96th time that the
Angels grounded into a double
play, second-most in the majors
behind St. Louis 98.
Ageless wonder, is how
Angels first baseman Mark
Trumbo described Colon after
going 0 for 3. Hes got a lot of
movement on the ball. His pitches
all start out at about the same
place. You just have to try and
gauge where its going to end up.
Alot of times its off the st. Its
really tough to pick up any spin
off his ball. Its a testament that
hes able to throw games like this
at the age that he is. Its obvious-
ly a little more going on than
what you might see.
Jerome Williams (5-6) was
charged with six runs four
earned and eight hits in ve-
plus innings. He lost his fourth
straight decision since beating
Baltimore on June 12.
In his last four starts, the right-
hander has allowed 20 earned runs
over 13 innings for a 13.85 ERA
raising his overall gure to
4. 73.
Sogard, the No. 9 hitter, had no
RBIs in 40 career at-bats against
the Angels until he came up in the
third and drove a 1-0 pitch into the
lower seats in the right-eld cor-
ner for a 2-0 lead after a leadoff
double by Young. It was Sogards
second homer this season and
sixth in 392 career at-bats.

Kemp homers, hurts ankle; Dodgers top Nats 9-2
WASHINGTON Matt Kemp returned to the lineup with
a home run and a double in the second inning, then limped
off the eld in the ninth.
A too-good-to-be-true day for the Los Angeles Dodgers
turned out to be just that. They completed a sweep of the
Washington Nationals on Sunday with a 9-2 win that kept
them a half-game out of rst place in the NL West.
The game marked the rst time Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and
Carl Crawford were in the starting lineup at the same time.
It might be a few days before it happens again because
Kemp hurt his left ankle sliding into home plate on a force
play, a needless injury that came from lack of hustle.
Its not bad. I hope its not bad, Kemp said. The biggest
thing will be tomorrow when I wake up and see how it feels.
Manager Don Mattingly said the injury appeared to be a
sprain, and that no X-rays were planned. Nor did he expect
Kemp to return to the disabled list.
Thats what I said last time, too, Mattingly said with a
chuckle.
Sports brief
BALTIMORE The passes were
sharp, the defense sound and the goals
plentiful.
The United States couldnt have
played much better, and the timing
could not have been more perfect.
Clarence Goodson and Joe Corona
scored during an eight-minute span of
the rst half, and the U.S. cruised past
El Salvador 5-1 Sunday to advance to
the semifinals of the CONCACAF
Gold Cup.
Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan
and Mix Diskerud added second-half
goals for the Americans, who will
next play in Dallas on Wednesday
against the winner of the Honduras-
Costa Rica match.
Honduras and Costa Rica met Sunday
night as part of a doubleheader before
a sellout crowd at the home stadium of
the Baltimore Ravens.
Assists arent an ofcial statistic in
the Gold Cup, but Donovan set up
three scores in a dazzling perform-
ance.
I think Landon proved again today
how valuable he is and now he can
make a difference, coach Jurgen
Klinsmann said. This game was
important for coaches to see who is a
difference maker. Overall, we see our
team clicking more and playing better
and better.
To say the least.
The U.S. has won nine straight full
internationals a record for the coun-
trys national team. The Americans
have also prevailed in seven of their
last eight Gold Cup matches, the
exception being a 4-2 loss to Mexico
in 2011 nal.
We are trying to catch up with the
big teams in the world, Klinsmann
said. Its all about speed. Im not
talking about physical speed. Im
talking about mental speed, passing
speed with every player going both
ways. Thats what were working to.
This is a process and I think that
process is coming along.
Rodolfo Zelaya scored for El
Salvador, 1-19-7 overall against the
U.S.
Collectively, theyre a very good
team, El Salvador coach Agustin
Castillo said through a translator.
They almost play by memory. They
can nd the spaces. It almost seems
like every time they pass the ball into
a space its going to nobody, then
somebody appears and actually meets
the ball. Good work, good move-
ment.
And good enough to claim a fth
Gold Cup.
Theyre going through a very good
time, Castillo said. Theyre the best
team Ive seen in this tournament.
They are a candidate to win it all.
Goodson put the U.S. ahead in the
21st minute by converting a crossing
pass from Donovan, who gained pos-
session near the end line within 15
feet of the net. It was Goodsons fth
career goal, the second in the Gold
Cup.

with his wife and three children back
from a quick holiday to Spain for a long
embrace and waited for the others to nish.
Westwood, who started the day with a two-
shot lead, fell behind for the rst time all
day with a bogey on the par-3 13th hole and
never recovered, closing with a 75.
Scott took the outright lead with a 4-foot
birdie on the 11th, and then closed as slop-
pily as he did last year when he threw away
the Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He
made four straight bogeys starting at the
13th, and a nal bogey on the 18th gave
him a 72. At least he has a green jacket from
the Master to console him.
Woods, in his best position to win a
major since the crisis in his personal life,
stumbled badly on his way to a 74 and was
never a serious challenger.
We know that he goes for broke, and if
thats how he was feeling and pulling it off,
hes got the ability to do that, Scott said
about Mickelson. And hes gone and won
an Open easily. So every credit to him.
At the end of a rough-and-tumble week
along the Firth of Forth, Mickelson was the
only player under par at 3-under 283. In his
four other majors three Masters and one
PGAChampionship he had never started
the nal round more than one shot behind.
I dont care either way how I got this tro-
phy I got it, Mickelson said. And it
just so happened to be with one of the best
rounds of my career, which is really the way
Ive played my entire career. Ive always
tried to go out and get it. I dont want any-
body to hand it to me. I want to go out and
get it. And today, I did.
Westwood, whose only other 54-hole lead
in a major ended with Mickelson winning
the Masters, paid tribute to Lefty for what
will go down as one of the great closing
rounds in a major.
When you birdie four of the last six of a
round any day, thats good going,
Westwood said. With a decent breeze blow-
ing and some tough ags out there, its
obviously a pretty good experience. When
you do it in a major championship, its an
even better experience.
But this major? Phil Mickelson?
He had only contended twice in two
decades at golfs oldest championship. One
week after he won the Scottish Open in a
playoff on the links-styled course of Castle
Stuart, Mickelson was simply magical on
the back nine of a brown, brittle Muireld
course that hasnt played this tough since
1966.
Tied for the lead, Mickelson smashed a 3-
wood onto the green at the par-5 17th to
about 25 feet for a two-putt birdie, and n-
ished in style with a 10-foot birdie putt on
the 18th to match the lowest score of this
championship.
Those two 3-woods were the two best
shots of the week, to get it on that green,
Mickelson said. As I was walking up to the
green, that was when I realized that this is
very much my championship in my con-
trol. And I was getting a little emotional. I
had to kind of take a second to slow down
my walk and try to regain composure.
Mickelson figured a par on the 18th
would be tough for anyone to catch him.
When the ball dropped in the center of the
cup, he raised both arms in the air to cele-
brate his fth career major, tying him with
the likes of Seve Ballesteros and Byron
Nelson.
Best round Ive ever seen him play, said
his caddie, Jim Bones Mackay.
His nal surge was right about the time
Westwood and Scott began to fold.

PHIL
because you know the offense will have
your back, Watkins said.
It should come as no surprise, with the
tools that he has, that Watkins is being
heavily recruited to play baseball at the
Division I level. Watkins recently made
the 34 person Oakland Athletics area codes
team, a squad built with the best baseball
prospects in Northern California. Watkins
former Serra teammate, Jordan Paroubeck,
also competed for Oaklands area codes team
last summer. A year later Paroubeck was
selected with the 69th overall selection in
the 2013 MLB draft by the San Diego
Padresjust to give a little perspective of
the talent that Watkins possesses.
In attendance on Saturday were two scouts
from the University of California Berkeley
with the objective of nding out whats
with all the hype surrounding the young star
from Serra. Following Watkins two-run
home run in the bottom of the 4th inning,
the scouts from UC Berkeley abruptly
packed their things and left the park. They
saw all they needed to see to convince them
that the hype is real regarding Watkins.
Its humbling for people to come watch
me, Watkins said. When they come out
here I dont want to press. I just want to
have fun, play the game of baseball and
enjoy it.
Watkins has already been offered scholar-
ships by numerous schools including the
University of Hawaii, Loyola Marymount
and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. If he contin-
ues performing like the way he did Saturday
in San Bruno, expect that list of schools
hounding Watkins for his signature on a let-
ter of intent to grow rapidly.

tion, the D-backs did just enough against
Bumgarner in the 10-game winners rst
outing after the All-Star break.
Ross singled in the eighth as Arizona
won for just the fourth time in 16 road
games.
The Giants were denied their rst sweep of
Arizona at home since May 10-12, 2011.
We had a chance to sweep the series but
its big to win the series, so well take
that, Bumgarner said.
San Francisco won the rst two games of
the series, but the NL West-leading
Diamondbacks (51-17) gained a game back
to give themselves a 5 1/2-game cushion
over the Giants and remain a half-game
ahead of second-place Los Angeles.
Bumgarner, for one, wasnt pointing n-
gers at the emotional Flannery.
I dont think anyone is blaming on him
except himself, Bumgarner said. Hes a
great third base coach and Im thankful hes
part of the team. He takes it personal but
you are not going to be right all the time.
They had to make two great throws, and
they did.
Bochy said Pennington played it well.
It looked like Buster was going to make
it but the shortstop came up throwing,
Bochy said. You hate to see that happen
but give them credit for making the relay.
Goldschmidt, 1 for 9 in the rst two
games of the series, doubled to start the
fourth and drew walks in the sixth and
eighth innings. Delgado allowed three hits,
struck out two and walked four in 5 2-3
innings.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Having already convinced San
Mateo County and the Bay Area of
their championship potential by
dominating district and section
tournaments, the boys from
Belmont-Redwood Shores 11-12
Majors are now making a believer
out of Northern California.
Belmont-Redwood Shores could
not have asked for a better start to
the Little League Northern
California Tournament over the
weekend. A trip to Roseville
where temperatures reached a
scorching 106 degrees ended
for a now with a 2-0 record and a
return trip atop the winner bracket
pending for Wednesday.
One more win for Belmont-
Redwood Shores on Wednesday at
Mahaney Field and they lock up a
spot in the Northern California
championship game with a trip to
the Western Regionals on the
line.
And it really isnt a matter of
counting chickens before they
hatch for Belmont-Redwood
Shores because, just like they
have all post-season long, the
boys in red and blue have been
convincing in all of their wins.
The weekend began with a 10-
0, four-inning blitz of Riverside
Park.
Sean Lee was the star of that
victory, pitching four innings of
shutout baseball and leading the
Belmont-Redwood Shores
offense.
In the bottom of the second
and with two outs, Daylin
McLemore whipped a line drive
to left field fence for a double
that seemed to rattle the
Riverside pitcher, who them pro-
ceeded to walk the next three bat-
ters. BRS capitalized with hits
by Brad Shimabuku and Dominic
Susa to make it 3-0.
But the knock that pretty much
sealed the first victory for
Belmont-Redwood Shores came a
batter later when Lee when up
with the bases juiced and served
Riverside a nice, tall, cold glass
of Grand Slam juice by
depositing a ball over the fence
to make it 7-0.
On the mound, Lee was just as
dominant as hes been all post-
season long.
BRS added more offense in the
bottom of the third when Luke
Bugbee led with a bomb of his
own. He was then followed by
Jake Stulbarg, Daniel Friis and
Nicolas Lopez singles that made
it 9-0.
Susa came up shortly after and
his RBI to left pushed the
Belmont tally to 10.
Things cooled off weather-
wise on Sunday during BRS
game against West Sacramento.
But what was lacking in the heat
department thanks to Mother
Nature was made for by the play-
ers in Belmont-Redwood Shores
most intense postseason game
of 2013.
BRS prevailed 7-5 on Sunday
setting up a return to Roseville
on Wednesday. But the game got
close during its latter parts.
Shimabuku was the hill for
BRS and was spotted four runs in
the top of the third by helping
his own cause. Shimabuku and
Sosa went back-to-back Jack
City in another two-out rally for
Belmont-Redwood Shores. Wi t h
the score at 3-0, Lee and Douglis
singled, Bugbee earned a walk
and Stulbarg pushed across
another run on a base on balls
that made it 4-0.
Noah Marcelo padded that
advantage in the fourth with
another postseason home run to
make it 5-0. Douglis picked up
RBI number six with a sacrice
y.
But West Sacramento made BRS
sweat it out the rest of the way.
The boys from up north scored
three runs in their half of the
fourth
Belmont got one of those back
in the fth on a Lopez single.
But with Lopez on the hill, West
Sacramento kept knocking on the
door. Ahome run in the fth made
it 7-5 and it took a Susa shutdown
performance in the sixth to seal
the victory for BRS.
Belmont-Redwood Shores hit
ve home runs over the two week-
end games and BRS continues to
play undefeated All-Star baseball
through three different postseason
tournaments.
BRS next game is Wednesday at
7 p.m. A win sets up half of the
championship series, to be played
starting 7 p.m. on Saturday in
Roseville.
Belmont-Redwood Shores one win from NorCal final
PHOENIX Having an off night offensively, Maya
Moore still found a way to help her team win.
Moore was 3 of 12 from the oor when she hit a 3-point-
er, stole an inbounds pass and made a layup in the nal
minute to lift the Minnesota Lynx to their sixth straight
victory, an 82-77 win over the Phoenix Mercury Sunday.
Im always trying to nd a way to stay involved and help
my team win, Moore said. I never give up, I dont like to
give up on my team and I could have easily just let it get to
my head and gotten frustrated. But our team has done such a
good job of picking each other up.
Moore nished with 14 points on 5-for-14 shooting,
Rebecca Brunson added 18 points and 13 rebounds, and
Seimone Augustus scored 15 points for the Lynx, who have
won eight of their last nine. Minnesota hit four of six free
throws in the nal 19 seconds to secure the victory, the Lynx
ninth straight against Phoenix, including all four this season.
Tough, gritty, not hanging our heads when we got down
double gures, Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeves said. We had
been down previously and we werent able to recover from it in
the past games, so I think we learned from those experiences.
Diana Taurasi had 26 points, six rebounds and six assists
for the Mercury, who led much of the game, and had a 64-59
advantage going into the nal period and a 74-73 lead with
1:35 left.

6th straight, 82-

PARIS I wont let you down like Lance
Armstrong. This Tour de France champion
is for real.
That, in so many words, is the promise
Chris Froome made as the newest winner of
cyclings showcase race so badly hurt over
the years by riders who doped to win it.
Because of their deceit, Froome faced a
series of questions as he dominated rivals
over three weeks of racing, all centered on
the same key concern: Can we believe in
you?
Yes, he insisted. The sport is changing,
he argued. He handled the scrutiny politely
and adroitly. He said he understood the
skepticism. And on the podium in Paris, his
wiry frame wrapped in his canary yellow jer-
sey, Froome asked the guardians of the 110-
year-old race and all those who love it to
trust him.
This is one yellow jersey that will stand
the test of time, he said.
In two years, Britain has had two winners:
Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and now Froome,
a cooler, calmer, more understated but no
less determined character than his Sky
teammate with famous sideburns.
Froome rode into Paris in style: Riders
pedaled up to him to offer congratulations;
he sipped from a ute of champagne; a Tour
organizer stuck an arm from his car window
to shake Froomes hand. He dedicated his
victory to his late mother, Jane, who died in
2008.
Without her encouragement to follow my
dreams I would probably be at home watch-
ing on TV, he said.
Froome took the race lead on Stage 8 in
the Pyrenees, never relinquished it and vig-
orously fended off rivals whose concerted
challenges turned this 100th Tour into a
thriller. Froome and his Sky teammates
linked arms as they rode for the line.
This is a beautiful country with the nest
annual sporting event on the planet. To win
the 100th edition is an honor beyond any
Ive dreamed, he said.
Five-time winners Eddy Merckx, Bernard
Hinault and Miguel Indurain joined Froome
on the podium. Missing, of course, was
Armstrong. Stripping the serial doper of
his seven wins tore a hole in the Tours roll
of honor as large as that left by World War
II, when the race didnt take place from
1940-46.
None of the 100th editions podium n-
ishers Froome, Nairo Quintana and
Joaquim Rodriguez have ever failed a drug
test or been directly implicated in any of
cyclings litany of doping scandals. That is
an encouraging and notable departure both
from the Armstrong era and many other Tour
podiums before and since.
In a way, Im glad that Ive had to face
those questions. That after all the revela-
tions last year and just the tarnished history
over the last decade, all thats been chan-
neled toward me now, Froome said. I feel
Ive been able to deal with it reasonably
well throughout this Tour, and hopefully
thats sent a strong message to the cycling
world that the sport has changed and it
really has.
The pelotons standing together, the rid-
ers are united and its not going to be
accepted anymore.
The spectacular nighttime ceremonies,
with the Eiffel Tower in glittering lights
and the Arc de Triomphe used as a screen for
a ashing lightshow, capped what has been
a visually stunning Tour.
It started with a rst-ever swing through
Corsica, Frances so-called island of beau-
t y, before veering through the Pyrenees to
Brittany and then across France to the races
crescendo in the Alps 2,115 grueling
miles in total.
Because of the unique late-afternoon start
for the nal Stage 21, the riders raced on the
cobbles of the Champs-Elysees as the sun
cast golden hues over the peloton and shad-
ows lengthened over the dense, cheering
crowds. Marcel Kittel won the nal sprint
on the avenue, the Germans sprinters
fourth stage win of this Tour. French Air
Force jets in formation trailed red, white and
blue smoke in the skies. The riders circled
like a necklace around the Arc de Triomphe
in their bright colored team jerseys.

JOLIET, Ill. When The Captain
asked, Joey Logano answered.
Did he ever.
Logano held off Sam Hornish Jr. to
win the NASCAR Nationwide race at
Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday,
leading a sweep of top two spots for
Roger Penske after the owner asked
him to drive the No. 22 car on a rare
weekend off for the Sprint Cup series.
Really big for us to get a 1-2 nish
for Penske. Thats awesome, Logano
said. To come out here, our goal is to
win this thing. Thats why I came out
here on my off week, it was to come out
here and win.
Penske, nicknamed The Captain,
approached Logano this month during
the NASCAR stop at Daytona and
asked if he would drive in the rst of
two Nationwide races at Chicagoland
this season. Penske wanted a boost in
the race for the owners championship,
and Logano sure delivered on the
request.
Logano, the lone Sprint Cup regular
in the race, earned his second
Nationwide win of the year and No. 20
for his career. He also won at Dover in
June. Hornish held on for second and
moved into the top spot in the series
standings, seven points better than
Regan Smith.
Austin Dillon led two times for a
total of 24 laps and nished third to
earn a $100,000 bonus. Dillon is third
on the points list, but is still looking
for his rst victory of the year.
We just keep inching on this rst
win, he said. Were getting closer
and closer. These top-threes, well take
them all day, we just want to get that
win here pretty soon.
Elliott Sadler had the lead on a restart
with 24 laps remaining. But the
defending race winner faded as Hornish
moved in front on the track where he
won consecutive IndyCar races in
2002 and 2003.

Catchings, Fever dump Mystics 65-52
WASHINGTON Tamika Catchings had
23 points and 10 rebounds as the surging
Indiana Fever swept the home-and-home
series from the Washington Mystics with a
65-52 win on Sunday.
Shavonte Zellous scored 12 points for the
Fever (7-8), who have won six of seven
games after suffering a seven-game losing
streak. The defending WNBA champions
opened a double gure lead in the second
quarter and only briey let the margin slip
back into single digits.
The teams got off to an unsightly offen-
sive start, tying the WNBArecord for fewest
combined points in the rst quarter with 17.
The Fever closed the rst half on 12-1 run,
including the final seven points, and
Zellous opened the third quarter with two
free throws for a 32-16 lead. Catchings free
throws later in the quarter capped an 8-0
spurt as Indiana led 42-24 and 49-36 enter-
ing the fourth quarter.
Monique Currie had 15 points for the
Mystics (8-9).

oghorn Leghorn is coming to the
Peninsula. This past week,
Peninsula Humane Society was
contacted by a Stockton-based farm animal
sanctuary which helped save 500+ white
leghorn hens from retirement at the egg
production company where they worked for
more than a year. Retirement is euthanasia
getting gassed in a chamber that can
accommodate 100 hens at a time for ef-
ciency. Typically, egg-laying hens are
euthanized in battery cage facilities once
they reach two years of age and are no
longer prime producers. An awful, inhu-
mane life spent in cage that doesnt allow
them to extend their wings! One company
decided it would contact a sanctuary when it
was time to retire a huge group of hens this
week. That sanctuary contacted us and
other animal welfare groups around the Bay
Area. We took a small group of leghorn
hens and may take more if we can rehome
them, which looks promising. Many arti-
cles have been written about hens as the
new urban pet. Hen owners say their eggs
are the best theyve ever tasted. And, many
people like having hens in their yard, they
name them and enjoy their unique person-
alities. Hens can y, but just a few feet, so
they can be free-ranging in a yard as long
as the fence is at least six feet high. They
are happiest when living with other hens,
and, yes, there is a denite pecking order.
They require a chicken coop, a secure place
to sleep at night and protect them from
predators like raccoons, and a nesting box,
a cozier spot to lay eggs. Hens can live 8-
10 years, though egg production drops off
as they age. Hens eat chicken scratch, a
cracked corn and wheat mix available at
most feed stores, and enjoy people food
like cooked noodles, vegetable peels,
fruit, cereal, meal worms, bugs and snails.
Avoid onions, garlic and citrus. Watch the
news for our adoptable hens.

SAN DIEGO Moviegoers were
ready for a fright this weekend,
sending The Conjuring into rst
place at the box office, while
R.I.P.D. became the summers
latest big-budget action lm to
bite the dust.
The Conjuring, a haunted-
house thriller from Warner Bros.,
debuted with $41.5 million in
North American ticket sales,
according to studio estimates
Sunday. Starring Vera Farmiga,
Lili Taylor, Patrick Wilson and
Ron Livingston, The Conjuring
unseated two-week box-office
champ Despicable Me 2, which
dropped to second place with $25
million.
The Conjuring was among
four new releases tempting movie-
goers this weekend. The newest
animated offering, Foxs Turbo,
opened with $21.5 million, good
for third place. Foxs head of
domestic distribution, Chris
Aronson, characterized the open-
ing as a very promising start,
noting that the lm wont open in
Europe until the fall.
But Universals big-budget
crime caper R.I.P.D. opened
with a disappointing $12.76 mil-
lion. The film reportedly cost
more than $130 million to make,
compared to only about $19.5
million for The Conjuring.
Starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan
Reynolds, R.I.P.D joins the
years other mega-budget summer
flops, including Pacific Rim,
White House Down, After
Earth and The Lone Ranger.
Overall box ofce totals are up,
though, said Paul Dergarabedian
of box-office tracker
Hollywood.com.
Despite the fact there have
been some high-profile, high-
budget ops, the summer to date is
up 12 percent from last year, he
said. For mid-July, to have a
modestly budgeted horror lm top
the weekend tells you how impor-
tant it is for audiences to have
options.
The Adam Sandler-produced
Sony comedy Grown Ups 2,
starring Kevin James, Chris
Rock, David Spade and Salma
Hayek, held onto fourth place in
its second week of release, earning
$20 million.
Summit Entertainments Red
2, which stars Bruce Willis and
Helen Mirren as retired CIAopera-
tives, debuted in fth with $18.5
million.
The Conjuring was originally
set for release in the winter, but
audience tests proved so positive
that the studio moved the lm to
the heat of summer movie season.
It was really a bold choice, no
question about it, said Jeff
Goldstein, Warner Bros. executive
vice president of theatrical distri-
bution. With three other movies
against us this week with high
price tags and high expectations
associated with them, this result is
even more impressive.
Still, there was no chance for
this weekends movies to match
box-office totals for the same
weekend last summer, when The
Dark Knight Rises opened with

I thought maybe in two months they
would have this all straightened out, said
Mewkalo of the VA.
He has suffered three heart attacks and had
two open-heart surgeries. His heart condi-
tion was the result of decades of strenuous,
dirty work in the Army and Air Force, he
said.
Along with serving in the Philippines
during World War II, Mewkalo served in
Japan during the Korean War and in Thailand
during the Vietnam War.
I put my life on the line in three wars. I
was subject to go up to the front line, but
they kept me in the back supplying the
troops up front, he said. I was always
wondering when am I going to go up to the
front line, to fight the Japanese, the
Vietnamese, the Germans.
Mewkalo, 86, got a decision from the VA
on his disability claim on June 2 more
than two years after he submitted his claim.
He was happy to nally get a decision,
but felt like after sending in his paperwork
multiple times, the VA was stringing him
along.
The VAwants you to pass away so they
can close the case, he said.
Mewkalos brother, who was in the Air
Force, submitted a claim with the VA for a
knee injury. Some heavy equipment was
dropped on his knee while it was being
loaded onto an airplane. He couldnt walk
well and had surgery.
My brother died two and a half years ago
at age 81, and he never got it, he said. He
had his claim in for nine years.
Help from congresswoman
Last year, when Mewkalo was frustrated
with waiting on the VA, he decided to con-
tact U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo.
Speiers ofce has worked hard to expedite
veterans disability claims. This year,
Speier has already helped secure $1 million
for veterans with disability claims, includ-
ing back pay, according to Speiers ofce.
Even with the help of Speiers ofce,
Mewkalos claim was still stuck in the
backlog at regional ofce in Oakland.
This year, Mewkalo learned that his claim
was shipped out to Lincoln, Neb. Moving
the claim out of Oaklands backlog helped
get the ball rolling, said Speiers ofce.
But Mewkalo kept getting letters from
Lincoln requesting the same medical records
he had already sent to Oakland.
I wrote a letter to Lincoln, Neb. and said,
ask Oakland for my medical, they have all
my records, he said.
He was stressed out with the constant
records requests and lack of response from
the VA.
It was a bummer what I had to do, he
said. I got nervous. I got sick [trying] to
get all that information [to the VA].
Speier weighs in
Congress has increased the VAs budget by
40 percent for more stafng and money for
veterans compensation, said Speier. The
backlog of claims is slowly getting small-
er, she said.
Theres been a huge change in the last
year, she said. [But] even with all the
money weve thrown at this problem, even
with all the cases shifted to other sites, Im
still unsatised.
When hearing about the outsourcing of
claims, Speier said the VAis still not com-
pletely paperless, which is problematic,
especially when claims are being contracted
out to other ofces.
Theyre still dealing with paper les,
she said. I want to be optimistic and say
that once these les turn to electronic for-
mat well be able to keep up with the
demand.
The backlog was exacerbated by an inat-
tentiveness to the issue, said Speier. Wi t h
Vietnam veterans learning more about their
eligibilities for claims associated with
Agent Orange, and many veterans falling on
tough economic times, the VAhas been hit
with a surge of new claims, not to mention
the veterans now coming back from Iraq and
Afghanistan who often have multiple
claims.
Its not just one condition, its six or
seven now, said Speier, acknowledging the
challenging situation for the VA.
Speier has been able to push claims
through for veterans. Last year, she helped
get $3 million in compensation to veter-
ans.
When she hears someone complain about
the veterans ling faulty claims, she said
thats beside the point.
These people have already given to this
country and we owe them, she said. I am
not going to challenge their claim.
If veterans who have been waiting several
months to hear from the VAcall their repre-
sentative in Congress, their claims will be
expedited, she said.
But for Mewkalo, even with the advocacy
of Speiers ofce, he still had nine months
to wait before getting a decision.
VA tackles backlog
The VA recently announced that it has
worked through 97 percent of claims pend-
ing longer than two years. The accomplish-
ment is the result of an initiative launched
in April to expedite all of the oldest claims
at VAofces across the nation.
With a urry of incoming claims, thou-
sands of backlogged cases and an antiquated
ling system, the Oakland VA Regional
Ofce is still working through its backlog.
The Oakland ofce announced it recently
completed decisions on 14,688 claims
pending longer than two years, according to
a press release.
Some two-year-old claims are still out-
standing due to unique circumstances such as
unavailability of the veteran for a needed
medical exam, said the release.
Over the past two months, VAhas been
dedicated to providing earned benets to the
veterans who have waited the longest,
Douglass Bragg, Oakland regional ofce
director said in the release. Im proud of our
employees, who have been working long
hours on this effort.
The VAs goal is to eliminate the backlog
of claims pending longer than 125 days by
2015, with 98 percent accuracy.
Rushed decision?
In June, the VA nally rated Mewkalo at
10 percent, meaning he gets $395 per
month in compensation from the VAfor his
heart condition, or so he thought.
Mewkalo was surprised to learn that the
VAwould not pay him compensation on top
of his pension.
They should, but they dont do that, he
said. I thought they did.
Instead, his compensation comes in the
form of $395 of his retirement pay being
tax-free, he said.
Along with the realization that he would
not receive any new compensation on top
of his retirement, Mewkalo said the fact that
he did not get back pay was unfair.
I should get retroactive pay all the way
to when I submitted [my claim] in 2010, he
said.
The low rating was also disappointing, he
said.
I thought it would be at least 50 percent
or more, because of what I had to put up
with, he said. I developed this heart con-
dition when I was in the service.
Veterans with claims pending longer than
125 days can call Speiers ofce: (650) 342-
0300.

application with modified hours,
changing the proposed applicant
hours of operation from 6 a.m. to mid-
night. to 8 a.m. to midnight. This
modication came from calls from a
concerned police department.
Police Sgt. Scott Campbell said the
changed hours had to do with making
sure the police have maximum
resources available.
Planning Commissioner Carlos
Martin asked if they were thinking of
bringing in more healthy options for
food since bowling alleys have a repu-
tation for greasy food.
Try to take care and make this a
beautiful place, Martin said at the
meeting. Make sure the kids are safe.
Tong assured Martin they have a chef
who will be trying to do Asian fusion
and other healthier options.
Planning Commissioner Mary
Giusti brought up concerns about loi-
tering and Tong said he plans to have
more security, especially at night.
Im challenging you to get bowling
alley there for next 100 years. I want
you to succeed, said Planning
Commissioner Eugene Sim at the
meeting. Allow outside areas to have
less loitering. Youre not just a box
with a door that says come on in.
Another reason of approaching it is
beautiful restaurant ideas. Cut a slice of
wall to see the beautiful venue of the
restaurant. I dont control the inside
program at all, but Im trying to make
your project even better.
The alley owners asked for the
opportunity to come back in six
months to engage the police depart-
ment on hours of operation, as they
want to push for the alley to open at 6
a.m. and the bar at 8 a.m.
The movie theater, located on the
other side of El Camino Real from
Brentwood Bowls current location,
stopped operation in 2008 and has
since been empty. The alley is owned
by Syufy Enterprises.
Millard said he is aiming for the new
alley to open in June or July of 2014.

taken of the site have tested positive
from contaminates ranging from
hydrocarbons to dry cleaning sol-
vents. The development agreement up
for consideration by the City Council
Monday night calls for the city to
leave $3 million in escrow for its
share of the potential clean up and dis-
posal costs.
On Monday, the City Council will
also consider approving amendments
to its downtown precise plan to
accommodate the project and the nec-
essary permits for the development
which will include 302,000 square feet
of ofce space and 5,075 square feet of
restaurant space.
Earlier this month, the Planning
Commission recommended the City
Council approve three amendments to
the citys downtown precise plan
which includes removing the rounded
parcel that formerly created Depot
Circle and squaring off the corner of
Winslow and Hamilton streets to cre-
ate more traditionally shaped parcels
and a 6,000-square-foot Depot
Plaza. The other changes are remov-
ing the Theatre Way extension and the
some minor revisions to increase
design exibility.
The current project proposal calls
for a ground floor of small office
suites, lobbies and restaurant space. A
904-parking stall garage would
include four above-ground levels with
access from the intersection of
Middleeld Road and Winslow Street.
The rates cannot be more than 125 per-
cent than that of the Jefferson Garage.
As part of the development agreement,
Hunter-Storm has agreed to provide
290 public spaces for nights and week-
ends and give the city $50,000 toward
its smartphone parking application
which tracks real-time availability for
motorists.
Construction is anticipated to begin
in September and Hunter-Storm has 36
months from the start to complete all
the work. If the developer defaults on
the agreement, Redwood City has the
right to reacquire the land.

cent of its riders have incomes below
$25,000 and 21 percent are elderly or
disabled.
Despite a $124 million operating
budget, the agency struggles with a
budget shortfall. Although the $5 mil-
lion annual request is smaller than
SamTrans funding problem, the
amount will be of signicant assis-
tance toward interim stability,
County Manager John Maltbie wrote
in a report to the Board of Supervisors.
At the same hearing, the board will
hear presentations on requests of
$80,000 in scal year 2013-2014 and
$75,500 in scal year 2014-2015 for a
countywide bicycle and pedestrian
coordinator position.
Another request by the Health
System is more than $4 million to
provide alternatives to jail for adults
with mental illness and/or substance
abuse. Those options include an out-
reach team and creation of a 10-bed
Mental Health Respite Center where a
situation can be de-escalated and a fam-
ily given a break.
The remaining requests are
$100,000 for veterans services and
$30,000 to fund a coastside disaster
response coordinator.
The allocations already tentatively
made by the Board of Supervisors
include money for county re vehicle
replacement, universal preschool,
summer library reading programs and
library capital needs, a coastside
mobile health clinic, homeless out-
reach and re-establishing a stand-
alone Parks Department.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9

UNLV researchers nd
lead in Mexican hot sauces
LAS VEGAS University of
Nevada, Las Vegas researchers have
found that several hot sauce brands
sold in the U.S. contain dangerous
levels of lead.
Researchers examined 25 bottles of
hot sauce imported from Mexico and
South America and purchased from
local ethnic markets, grocery stores,
and a swap meet in what the university
described as a rst-of-its-kind study.
They found that four of the bottles,
or 16 percent of the sample, exceeded
Food and Drug Administration stan-
dard for safe levels of lead.
The results were published in the
Journal of Environmental Science
and Health earlier this year and publi-
cized last week by the university.
Lead poisoning can affect every
organ in the body and can cause learn-
ing disabilities and behavioral prob-
lems in young children. Researchers
acknowledged that many children
probably steer clear of hot sauce, but
said that it is a staple of some ethnic
diets.

saTUrdaY, JUne 20, 2013
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- A project that has
been mismanaged could come under your direct
control. You have the talent and the know-how to
succeed where others have failed.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youre likely to do unusually well
if you are more concerned with the big picture than the
little details. Laying a strong foundation will pay off.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are strong
indications that youll start cultivating an extremely
important relationship. It wont be established
overnight, but it will eventually become one of your
major alliances.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- New heights can be
achieved if you have the motivation and desire to
reach for the stars. Tenacious effort will be required,
but all your striving will be worth it in the long run.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Many of your
associates will appreciate the value of your ideas
and suggestions, giving them more merit than even
you do. Graciously accept their sincere appreciation.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone with
whom you enjoyed success in the past will want to
team up with you again. It could turn out to be an
even a bigger coup than the frst time.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youll have the gift
of arousing great interest in others regarding the
things youre passionate about. To the amazement
of everybody, youll even excite a negative pal.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are presently
in a promising fnancial cycle where increased
earnings are a strong possibility. However, dont
think that you wont have to work hard for what
youll get.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A rather unique
opportunity is likely to be presented to you by an old
friend. It might not look like much on the surface,
but it will develop greater depth down the line.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Youre likely to be
much more successful using traditional methods
than you would be trying something unorthodox
or new. Things that worked well before will do so
again.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Certain information
you get from one party could be of great value to
another. If you bring these two divergent factors
together, everyone could proft, including you.
GeMini (May 21-Jne 20) -- Developments that
could improve the affairs of both yourself and your
colleagues are brewing. Look for signals that things
are happening, so you can get on top of matters
posthaste.

at public auction, to the highest bidder for
cash or check as described below, paya-
ble in full at time of sale, all right, title,
and interest conveyed to and now held
by it under said Deed of Trust, in the
property situated in said County and
State and as more fully described in the
above referenced Deed of Trust. The
street address and other common desig-
nation, if any, of the real property descri-
bed above is purported to be: 715
FOOTHILL DRIVE, SAN MATEO, CA,
944023319. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrect-
ness of the street address and other
common designation, if any, shown here-
in. The total amount of the unpaid bal-
ance with interest thereon of the obliga-
tion secured by the property to be sold
plus reasonable estimated costs, ex-
penses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of the Notice of Sale is
$1,040,918.19. It is possible that at the
time of sale the opening bid may be less
than the total indebtedness due. In addi-
tion to cash, the Trustee will accept

tional bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union, or a check drawn by
a state or federal savings and loan asso-

nancial Code and authorized to do busi-
ness in this state. Said sale will be made,
in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without cove-
nant or warranty, express or implied, re-
garding title, possession or encumbran-
ces, to satisfy the indebtedness secured
by said Deed of Trust, advances there-
under, with interest as provided, and the
unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site
www.recontrustco.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-
0070696. Information about postpone-
ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

By Dan Sewell
CINCINNATI With the sur-
vival of a species on the line,
Cincinnati Zoo scientists are hop-
ing to mate their lone female
Sumatran rhino with her little
brother.
The desperation breeding effort
with the rhino siblings follows a
recent crisis summit in Singapore
where conservationists concluded
as few as 100 of the two-horned,
hairy rhinos might remain in their
native southeast Asia. The species
numbers have fallen by up to 90
percent since the mid-1980s as
development takes away habitat
space and poachers hunt them for
their prized horns.
Rhinos overall are dwindling
globally, and the Sumatran
species descended from Ice Age
woolly rhinos is one of the most
critically endangered.
The Cincinnati Zoo has been a
pioneer in captive breeding of the
rhino species, producing the rst
three born in captivity in modern
times. Its conservationists this
month brought back the
youngest, 6-year-old Harapan,
from the Los Angeles Zoo and
soon will try to have him mate
with the zoos female his bio-
logical sister 8-year-old Suci.
We absolutely need more
calves for the population as a
whole; we have to produce as
many as we can as quickly as we
can, said Terri Roth, who heads
the zoos Center for Research of
Endangered Wildlife. The popula-
tion is in sharp decline and theres
a lot of urgency around getting her
pregnant.
Critics of captive breeding pro-
grams say they often do more
harm than good and can create ani-
mals less likely to survive in the
wild. Inbreeding increases the
possibility of bad genetic combi-
nations for offspring.
We dont like to do it, and long
term, we really dont like to do it,
Roth said, adding that the sib-
lings parents were genetically
diverse, which is a positive for the
plan. When your species is
almost gone, you just need ani-
mals and that matters more than
genes right now these are two
of the youngest, healthiest ani-
mals in the population.
The parents of the three rhinos
born in Cincinnati have died, but
their eldest offspring, 11-year-old
Andalas, was moved to a sanctuary
in Indonesia where he last year
became a father after mating with a
wild-born rhino there.
The rst coordinated effort at
captive breeding began in the
1980s, and about half the initial
40 breeding rhinos died without a
successful pregnancy. Roth, who
began working on the rhino proj-
ect in 1996, said it took years just
to understand their eating habits
and needs and decades more to
understand their mating patterns.
The animals tend not to be inter-
ested in companionship, let alone
romance.
Theyre denitely difcult to
breed because theyre so solitary,
Roth said. You cant just house
them together. So the only time
you can get a successful breeding
is if you just put them together
when the female is going to be
receptive.
Mating between such close
rhino relatives might happen in
the wild, Roth said, but its dif-
cult to know because the animals
are so rare. If the offspring of such
a mating then bred with an unrelat-
ed rhino, the genetic diversity
would resume in the next genera-
tion, she said.
Harapan, who weighs about
1,650 pounds, will be kept sepa-
rate from his sister, who is a little
smaller. On a recent morning at
the zoo here, he slathered himself
in a mud hole, then ambled over to
settle down in a pool of water.
When the time is right to rein-
troduce the rhinos, the zoo team
wont dim the lights or play mood
music. Instead, they will use a sys-
tem of gates to bring the pair
together. If they begin to ght or
show other behavior indicating
things arent going well, the team
will try to separate them, using
bananas for distraction.
Before then, Roth and the other
scientists will have measured
Harapans testosterone levels
while using ultrasound and other
monitoring to know when Suci is
ovulating.
You should use the science to
guide you, Roth said. We have
really relied on the science.
If the breeding is successful, the
zoo will be celebrating a fourth
Sumatran rhino birth about 16
months later. If not, other efforts
will continue.
Indonesian conservationists
have been trying to mate Andalas,
the oldest brother, with two other
females there after last years suc-
cess. His semen has also been
banked, but there have been no
reported successful artificial
inseminations yet.
At the Singapore summit,
Indonesian and Malaysian author-
ities pledged to work together
more closely on species survival
efforts. Conservationists say spe-
cial rhino protection patrols have
thwarted poachers who kill rhinos
to take horns that can be worth
tens of thousands of dollars on the
black market. The horns are
sought for medicinal and other
uses by legend, rhino horns are
said to have aphrodisiac powers.
While the Sumatran rhino isnt a
particularly popular or even rec-
ognizable animal to the public at
large, Roth said, the species con-
tributes to the global need for
healthy forests with its role in the
ecosystem clearing small
saplings and brush, and helping
spread seeds and make trails small-
er animals use.

Rhinos overall are dwindling globally,and the Sumatran species descended
from Ice Age woolly rhinos is one of the most critically endangered.
