Poll: Many still
struggle to pay
for health care
Employer coveragegot better ratings
than plans meant for self-employed
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Most people who signed up under
President Barack Obamas health care law rate their new
insurance highly, but a substantial number are struggling
with the cost, according to a poll released Thursday.
The survey from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation provides ndings that both sides in the health
care debate can seize on. Its an ambitious look at people
who buy their coverage individually; theyre the ones most
affected by the Affordable Care Act.
The critics view of the law as an unmitigated disaster is
far from true, but its not what advocates might have hoped
for either because many people still have concerns about
affordability, said Drew Altman, CEO of the foundation, an
information clearinghouse about the health care system.

For the rst time in history, the long-
vacant 15-acre site in Foster City is months
away from being developed after MidPen
Housing earned enough funds to move for-
ward with construction of an affordable sen-
ior housing complex.
The Foster City-based nonprot housing
developer was awarded federal tax credits to
the tune of almost $15.7 million on June
11, which will allow it to move forward
with developing 66 affordable senior hous-
ing units at the Foster Square site adjacent
to City Hall.
The City Council sold its remaining piece
of undeveloped property, that was once
slate to host a high school, for $30 million
to the blanket developer the New Home
Company last November with the condition
that an affordable senior housing complex
would be constructed rst.
This is an incredible opportunity for
MidPen to provide affordable housing for
seniors in our hometown and weve been
working really closely with the master
developer, with the Planning Commission
and with city staff to come up with a project
concept thats going to reect the needs of
the people who live in Foster City,
MidPen Senior Project Manager Nevada
Merriman said.
The entire site will be distributed to differ-
ent developers and eventually turned into
200 for-sale condos, about 134 to 155
assisted living units, MidPens 66 affordable
units, retail space and a parking structure.

California mom pleads
not guilty in sons stabbing
LIVERMORE A young Northern
California mother who was believed to
be suffering from depression when
authorities say she stabbed her infant
son to death has pleaded not guilty to
a murder charge.
The Oakland Tribune reports that 23-
year-old Ashley Renee Newton of San
Jose entered the plea on Thursday.
Authorities say Newton ran up to
ofcers at a park in Livermore in April
with the lifeless body of her son,
William Sherman, in her arms. She
allegedly acknowledged having killed
the 7-month-old boy, who had been
stabbed with a pocket knife.
Authorities have said Newton had a
history of depression and appeared to
have self-inicted knife wounds on her
wrist.
Study finds blackbird
decline in California
FRESNO A blackbird species
found mostly in the Central Valley of
California has experienced a major
decline in its population over the past
several years due in part to farming
practices, researchers say.
The birds now numbers about
145,000 in the state, down from mil-
lions less than a century ago, a survey
released Wednesday shows.
Robert Meese, a University of
California, Davis, researcher who led
the study, said Californians must act to
reverse the decline.
Its our responsibility, because its
our bird, he said. Were going to
have to take an all-hands-on-deck
approach.
Meese conducted the survey with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
California Department of Fish and
Wildlife and Audubon California.
It found the blackbird population
has fallen 64 percent since 2008. The
decline is blamed at least in part on the
harvesting of feed crops on dairy
farms where the tricolored blackbird
has come to nest.
The Central Valley had been a
stronghold for the birds, but the sur-
vey found that their numbers plummet-
ed in Kern and Merced counties, and
only six were found in Fresno County.
No birds were found in Kings County,
Meese said.
Blackbirds historically nested in
wetlands but with those areas increas-
ingly drying up, bird colonies moved
into a wheat-rye hybrid used to feed
dairy cattle, researchers say, However,
those elds are often harvested before
the young birds leave the nest.
Meese is working with land owners
in Yolo and Yuba counties to provide
habitat for the birds. He is also work-
ing with the University of California,
Merced, to provide a nesting reserve at
the Central California campus.
Court overturns city
law that bars living in cars
SAN FRANCISCO A federal
appeals court on Thursday struck down
a 31-year-old Los Angeles law that
bars people from living in parked
vehicles, saying the vaguely written
statute discriminates against the
homeless and poor.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of
the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
involved a 1983 law that prohibits the
use of a vehicle as living quarters
either overnight, day-by-day, or oth-
erwise.
The court said the law was unconsti-
tutional because its ambiguous word-
ing does not make clear what conduct
would constitute a violation and
criminalizes innocent behavior.
The decision came in a case brought
on behalf of four people who were
cited and arrested in the Venice area by
Los Angeles police ofcers who con-
cluded the numerous belongings in
their RVs and cars meant they were
violating the law.
Is it impermissible to eat food in a
vehicle? Is it illegal to keep a sleeping
bag? Canned food? Books? What
about speaking on a cellphone? Or
staying in the car to get out of the
rain? Judge Harry Pregerson wrote for
the panel. These are all actions plain-
tiffs were taking when arrested for vio-
lation of the ordinance, all of which
are otherwise perfectly legal.

The 46-year-old man who prosecutors say
died at the hands of a Redwood City tran-
sient was knocked into a car and the ground
repeatedly before his attacker kept him in a
choke hold for 10 minutes.
Details of how Michael Gonzales, 46,
died came to light as his alleged killer Paul
Robert Ahern, 53, appeared in court a sec-
ond time on one count of murder. Ahern
identied his court-appointed attorney but
put off entering a plea and setting any future
appearances until July 8.
Prosecutors say witnesses reported that
Ahern, known to sheriffs deputies as an
alcoholic transient, got
the best of Gonzales as
they fought around 8:15
p.m. June 9 at Middleeld
Road and Fourth Street.
Authorities say the two
men knew each other and
were possibly drinking
together prior to the ght
but have not said what
they think sparked the
altercation between them.
Ahern reportedly screamed several times
he was going to kill Gonzales while rst
punching him in the head and then slam-
ming his head into a car four times. The
attack nished with the choke hold and
responding deputies found an unconscious
Gonzales face down on the sidewalk with
Ahern 3 feet away. Gonzales was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Gonzales died from injuries inicted in
the attack, according to the Coroners
Ofce.
Ahern has two previous convictions for
trespassing on open lands.
He remains in custody without bail.

tact Detective Irfan Zaidi at 363-4192 or the

DA: Murder victim beaten, choked
Paul Ahern
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An El Granada man facing a potential third
strike for allegedly detonating a half-stick
of dynamite on a driveway and dropping
another explosive device is headed straight
to court after waiving a preliminary hearing
on the evidence.
Adam Eugene Dutra, 31, has pleaded not
guilty to illegally possessing an explosive
device with the intent to injure or intimi-
date. If convicted as a third-striker, Dutra
could face a 25 years to life prison term.
Dutra reportedly admit-
ted throwing the explo-
sives but gave no further
explanation for the
March 30 incident.
At 10:49 p.m. that
night, Dutra reportedly
drove by a Half Moon
Bay home and threw the
half stick and explosive
device. Neither caused
any damage or injuries.
A neighbors surveillance video captured
the incident and sheriffs deputies linked it
to Dutra. Dutra is on post-prison supervi-
sion which allowed detectives to search his
cellphone and they reported nding multi-
ple photos of explosives material on the
device.
In 2004, Dutra was convicted of felony
assault with a vehicle and making criminal
threats against a 20-year-old man with
whom he had an ongoing dispute. He also
violated his probation on those charges sev-
eral times leading to prison incarceration.
He remains in custody on $250,000 bail.
Police investigate
two residential burglaries in
same San Carlos neighborhood
San Carlos police are looking for more
information on two residential burglaries
that happened earlier this week.
One of the burglaries took place at a
home in the 1600 block of White Oak Way
sometime between 10:30 p.m. Sunday and
7 a.m. Monday, police said.
The burglar or burglars entered the home
through the side yard gate and garage
where they rummaged through an unlocked
car and stole $100 worth of property,
according to police.
Down the street another burglary took
place at a home in the 1500 block of
Gover Lane sometime between 10:30 p.m.
Sunday and 5 p.m. Monday, police said.
The burglar or burglars entered the home
through an unlocked window in the
kitchen and stole up $1,300 worth of
property, according to police.
Police said it appears the burglar or bur-
glars exited through the window and did
not trespass any other rooms in the home.
Aresident saw a green Toyota SUV in the
area that looked unfamiliar to the neigh-
borhood, police said.
City residents who may see any suspi-
cious activity in their area are asked to call
911 .
Residential gas leak in Millbrae
PG&E crews capped a natural gas leak
that occurred Thursday morning in a resi-
dential area
of Millbrae,
a utility spokesman said.
The leak occurred at 10:23 a.m. in the
500 block of Hillcrest Boulevard and
PG&E crews were on the scene within 15
minutes, according to PG&E spokesman
Jason King.
King said a third-party plumbing con-
tractor digging in the area caused the leak.
The flow of gas was stopped at 11: 03
a.m., King said.
No evacuations were necessary and no
injuries were reported. A portion of
Hillcrest Boulevard was temporarily shut
down.
King said the incident highlights the
importance of residents and contractors
calling 811 to confirm the presence of gas
lines before digging.

Limit on full-contact football heads to governor
SACRAMENTO A bill that limits full-contact prac-
tices for high school football teams is heading to the
governors desk.
The Senate on Thursday approved AB2127 by
Democratic Assemblyman Ken Cooley of Rancho
Cordova on a 23-5 vote.
The bill limits drills involving game-speed tackling to
90-minute sessions twice a week, while prohibiting such
full-contact drills in the offseason. It applies to public,
private and charter schools.
Although most coaches already abide by similar rules to
protect student safety, Cooley said he was responding to
growing anxiety from parents about the risks associated
with concussions.
The issue was even highlighted by the White House,
which hosted a summit about youth sports safety and con-
cussions.
The bill has the support of the California
Interscholastic Federation, which oversees high school
athletics.
Political reform candidate fined over disclosure
SACRAMENTO A defeated candidate for secretary of
state who offered himself to voters as Californias
reformer-in-chief has been fined for failing to disclose a
political gift.
The Fair Political Practices Commission on Thursday
approved a $200 fine against Dan Schnur, who failed to
advance in the June 3 primary. He did not report $1,018 in
travel expenses for giving a speech before a conservative
group.
The agency says that was a gift that should have been
noted on Schnurs statement of economic interest.
Schnur, who once led the commission that penalized
him, calls the fine totally appropriate. He said he over-
looked the expenses from the speech when preparing his
financial report.
Schnur finished fourth in a crowded race for secretary of
state, the office that oversees elections and campaign
fundraising.

the truck and intentionally set it on
re.
Several lanes were closed as fire
crews responded to the blaze. The re
was put out around 8:30 a.m. The man
near the truck suffered minor injuries
and was taken to a hospital, where he
was on a psychiatric hold.
His name has not been released.

STATE/NATION
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO Anewly created state
board awarded nearly $29 million in income
tax credits on Thursday for companies that
have agreed to expand and retain jobs in
California.
The 29 separate credits approved at the
rst meeting of the California Competes
Tax Credit Committee ranged from $20,000
for a Novato-based stem cell biotech
research rm that promised to create eight
jobs to $6 million for Samsung
Semiconductor, which promises to create
400 jobs in San Jose.
The program was created after lawmakers
last year abolished the states Enterprise
Zone program, which Gov. Jerry Brown
called wasteful and inefcient.
Nearly 400 companies requested more
than $500 million in credits, although only
$30 million was available this year. The
total will increase to $150 million for the
scal year that begins July 1.
The programs deputy director, Will Koch,
said applicants are assessed using a formula
that weighs how many jobs will be created
or retained; how much the employees will
be paid; the rate of poverty or unemploy-
ment in the area where the business will be
located; competition from other states; and
the strategic importance of the business.
Its not a grant; were not writing a
check, Koch said.
The income tax credit is administered by
the Democratic governors GO-Biz
Department, while other agencies oversee
newly created hiring tax credits and sales
tax exemptions for the purchase of manu-
facturing equipment.
The ve-member tax credit board post-
poned a decision on a $700,000 credit for a
subsidiary of German-owned grocer Aldi
that was opposed by unions. Board member
Greg Conger, president of United Food and
Commercial Workers Local 324, which rep-
resents grocery and drug store employees in
Southern California, said the companys
projected wages were below the market
average for the area.
The subsidiary, AI California, is propos-
ing to create 182 jobs at a distribution cen-
ter in Moreno Valley and at 30 grocery
stores planned for Southern California next
year. Koch said nine of the stores would be
located in federally designated food
deserts that have limited access to fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Conger, who was appointed by former
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los
Angeles, questioned whether the stores
would address the problem because he said
they are smaller than typical grocery
stores.
Other rms awarded the credits include:
$2.6 million for San Diego-based Petco
to create 263 full-time jobs;
$2 million to Samsung Information
Systems America to add 210 jobs in
Mountain View;
$1.58 million for 1,550 jobs at Amazon
retail warehouse and distribution centers in
Moreno Valley, Tracy, Newark and San
Bernardino;
$1 million for 28 jobs at Novartis
Pharmaceuticals in San Carlos;
$40,000 for Animal Memorial Service
Inc., a Gilroy-based pet cremation service
that promises to add ve full-time jobs.

border amid concern by immigrant advo-
cates that skipping the screening could put
children at risk.
Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the
Administration for Children and Families,
said the agency overseeing the shelter pro-
gram for migrant youth has gone back to a
previous policy of only exempting parents
and legal guardians from having their n-
gerprints taken. No child was harmed by the
more lax ngerprint policy, Wolfe said.
The number of unaccompanied Central
American children apprehended at the bor-
der with Mexico has surged in recent weeks
and could reach 90,000 this year. To speed
children through shelters and free up bed
space, ofcials had stopped running nger-
print checks against criminal databases for
parents and other sponsors who offered to
care for them, immigrant advocates said.
Until last year, advocates said ofcials
had checked the ngerprints of all spon-
sors, including parents.
Any time you are reducing the require-
ments, that is a concern, said Kimi
Jackson, director of the South Texas Pro
Bono Asylum Representation Project,
which offers know-your-rights presenta-
tions to children in detention. There are
people who will sponsor kids out in order to
use them for things that are not in their best
interest.
Immigrant advocates say rising gang vio-
lence and threats have driven the children to
leave their countries and trek across Mexico
to reach the United States. Since last
month, the Obama administration has
opened temporary shelters on military
bases to help care for the children until they
can be reunited with a sponsor, preferably a
parent or close adult relative.
Most of the children are reunited with
family, according to Wolfes agency, which
on Thursday started a bilingual hotline for
parents trying to nd out if their children
are in custody.
Advocates say the government faces a
daunting task of balancing speed and safety
when releasing the children, many who are
eeing violent crime back home, to rela-
tives or friends they havent seen in years.
The average stay of a migrant child in a
shelter is now near 35 days. It was 61 days
between 2008 and 2010 in a study of
14,000 children by the Vera Institute of
Justice.
For years, advocates pushed for a quicker
release so children could be reunited with
family. While they dont want the children
to be unnecessarily detained, advocates now
worry they arent getting vital social or
legal services because they are being fun-
neled through the system so quickly.
Advocates also fear children might not
conde in case workers about the dangers
they face if theyve only known them a
short time before being released.
Kimberly Haynes, director for childrens
services at Lutheran Immigration and
Refugee Service, said the government says
it is going to have contractors follow up
with children who are released to their par-
ents because they are expected to remain in
federal custody only about a week. But she
said its easy to lose track of them.
We know of several kids who have disap-
peared before post follow-up services was
able to be put into place, she said.
Wendy Young, president of Washington-
based Kids in Need of Defense, said it is hard
to get children legal services when their
shelter stay is so eeting, and the rising
influx means fewer are getting lawyers,
which hurts their chances of ghting depor-
tation.

Prosecutors: Gov.Walker
part of criminal scheme
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker, a potential 2016 Republican presi-
dential candidate, took
part in a nationwide crim-
inal scheme to coordinate
fundraising with conser-
vative groups, prosecu-
tors said in court docu-
ments unsealed Thursday.
No charges have been
filed against Walker or
any member of his staff.
And both sides are argu-
ing in court over whether
the activities are covered by election laws.
The documents for the rst time put Walker
himself at the center of an investigation into
campaigns in 2011 and 2012.
The papers were led in December as part
of an investigation into fundraising involv-
ing Walker and his campaign, the Wisconsin
Club for Growth, the state Chamber of
Commerce and other groups.
The investigation began in 2012 as
Walker, who rose to fame by passing a law
that effectively ended collective bargaining
for most public workers, was facing a recall
election. But the probe has been on hold
since May, when a federal judge ruled it was a
breach of Wisconsin Club for Growths free-
speech rights and temporarily halted it.
CDC lab workers might
have been exposed to anthrax
About 75 workers at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention may have
been accidentally exposed to dangerous
anthrax bacteria this month because of a
safety problem at some of its labs in Atlanta,
the federal agency revealed Thursday.
Independent experts say it appears to be
the largest incident involving anthrax, a
potential bioterrorism agent, in a U.S. lab in
at least a decade. CDC ofcials say the risk of
infection seems very low, but the employees
were being monitored or given antibiotics as
a precaution.
Based on the investigation to date, CDC
believes that other CDC staff, family mem-
bers, and the general public are not at risk of
exposure and do not need to take any protec-
tive action, a statement from the agency
says.
The problem was discovered last Friday,
and some of the anthrax may have become
airborne in two labs the previous week, the
statement says.

WASHINGTON Rep. Kevin McCarthy
of California capped a meteoric rise through
the ranks of power on Thursday, winning
election as House majority leader as
Republicans shufed their leadership in the
wake of Rep. Eric Cantors primary defeat in
Virginia.
Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, 48, was
elected to replace McCarthy as whip, a clear
indication that the rank and le wanted a red-
state Republican in the upper ranks of lead-
ership for the rst time since the party
gained control of the House in 2010.
McCarthy, a former aide who won his seat
in Congress less than eight years ago,
pledged after his victory to make sure the
GOP has the courage to lead with the wis-
dom to listen, and well turn this country
around.
The changes take effect when Cantor
steps down as majority leader on July 31.
The current leader attended the days elec-
tions but did not speak as his successor was
selected.
The challenges facing the leadership
arent likely to change. They must guide an
often fractious rank and le into the fall
election season, while contending with a
Democratic-controlled Senate and President
Barack Obama.
Within moments of McCarthys election,
the League of United Latin American
Citizens issued a statement calling on him
to schedule a vote in the House on legisla-
tion to overhaul immigration law, including
a path to citizenship for millions of immi-
grants currently living in the country ille-
gally.
The issue has long divided Republicans
and gured prominently in Cantors defeat a
little more a week ago, when he was
trounced David Brat, a little-known, under-
funded tea party-backed
challenger.
In setting quick elec-
tions, Speaker John
Boehner and other leaders
hoped to avoid a drawn-
out, divisive struggle
that might complicate
the partys drive to retain
its majority in midterm
balloting on Nov. 4.
Yet the timing of the days events made it
unclear whether the winners or perhaps
Boehner, himself might face fresh chal-
lenges when the rank and le gathers in the
fall after national elections.
At a news conference after the closed-door
elections, Scalise and several Republicans
stressed the party is united as it heads into
the last several months of the year. They
were at pains to project that image, as well,
refusing even to provide the vote totals that
might betray any internal division.
McCarthy moved quickly to line up the
votes for majority leader in the wake of
Cantors defeat at the polls in Virginia,
deploying an organization developed since
he became whip more than three years ago
when Republicans took control of the
House.

WASHINGTON The District of
Columbia public school system, one of the
first in the country to evaluate teachers
using student test scores, announced
Thursday that it would suspend the practice
while students adjust to new tests based on
Common Core standards.
Chancellor Kaya Henderson announced
the decision, saying officials are con-
cerned it wouldnt be fair to use the new
tests until a baseline is established and any
complications are worked out.
The District has fired hundreds of teach-
ers under the system, which was put in
place by Hendersons predecessor,
Michelle Rhee. Test scores make up 35 per-
cent of evaluations for those who teach
students in the tested grades and subjects.
Last week, the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation joined the two largest teachers
unions in calling for a temporary halt to
evaluating teachers based on Common
Core tests. The foundation has spent more
than $200 million implementing the
Common Core standards nationwide.
The U.S. Education Department has not
backed the idea of a moratorium, which is
also being considered in New York. Gov.
Andrew Cuomo introduced a bill on
Thursday that would remove test scores
from teacher evaluations for two years, and
a handful of states have delayed using test
scores to make personnel decisions. But
no state that already includes test scores in
evaluations has committed to pausing the
practice.
Although we applaud District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) for their
continued commitment to rigorous evalua-
tion and support for their teachers, we
know there are many who looked to DCPS
as a pacesetter who will be disappointed
with their desire to slow down, Raymonde
Charles, an Education Department spokes-
woman, said in an emailed statement.
President Barack Obamas administra-
tion has offered incentives to states to
develop more meaningful teacher evalua-
tion systems and to adopt college- and
career-ready standards such as Common
Core. Thats meant that both have rolled
out around the same time, creating con-
flict. Teachers have expressed concern
about being judged on their students per-
formance as they are learning to teach
under the new standards and the new assess-
ments are rolled out.

WASHINGTON Tens of thousands more
veterans than previously reported are forced
to wait at least a month for medical appoint-
ments at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clin-
ics, according to an updated audit of 731 VA
medical facilities released Thursday.
The updated report includes new gures
showing that the wait times actually experi-
enced at most VAfacilities were shorter than
those on waiting lists for pending appoint-
ments. For instance, new patients at the
Atlanta VAhospital waited about an average
of 44 days for an appointment in April, the
new report said. But the average wait for
pending appointments at Atlanta was 66
days.
Similar disparities in average wait times
were found around the country. Pending
appointments, for example, dont include
patients who walk into a clinic and get
immediate or quick treatment, VA ofcials
said. They also dont reect rescheduled
appointments or those that are moved up
because of openings due to cancellations.
VAofcials said the two sets of data com-
plement one another, but both are evidence
that many veterans face long waits for care.
More than 56,000 veterans were waiting
more than 90 days for an initial appoint-
ment, the new report said.
In many communities across the coun-
try, veterans wait too long for the high
quality care theyve earned and deserve,
acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said
Thursday.
The department has reached out to 70,000
veterans to get them off waiting lists and
into clinics, Gibson said, but there is still
much more work to be done.
The report released Thursday showed that
about 10 percent of veterans seeking med-
ical care at VAhospitals and clinics have to
wait at least 30 days for an appointment.
Thats more than double the 4 percent of
veterans the government said last week
were forced to endure long waits.
Gibson called the increase unfortunate,
but said it was probably an indication that
more reliable data was being reported by VA
schedulers, rather than a big increase in vet-
eran wait times.
Administrators at local VA medical cen-
ters questioned the results of an audit
released June 9, which looked only at pend-
ing appointments. The report did not match
internal data on completed appointments
showing waits actually were far shorter, the
local ofcials said.
The reliability of both sets of data is in
question. The VA is investigating wide-
spread manipulation of appointment data
by schedulers following an uproar over
since-conrmed allegations that dozens of
veterans died while awaiting appointments
at the Phoenix VAmedical center.
Some 13 percent of schedulers surveyed
by the auditors reported being told by super-
visors to falsify appointment records to
make patient waits appear shorter. The VAs
inspector general has cited a since-aban-
doned performance bonus system as a rea-
son for the falsications, which schedulers
used to mask frequent, long delays in treat-
ment for veterans.
VASecretary Eric Shinseki resigned three
weeks ago amid an election-year restorm
over the treatment delays and waiting list
problems at VAfacilities nationwide.
Shinseki took the blame for what he
decried as a lack of integrity through the
VAnetwork, which serves nearly 9 million
veterans. The House and Senate have
approved separate bills to allow more veter-
ans who cant get timely VAappointments
to see local doctors listed instead. The pro-
posals also would make it easier to re sen-
ior VA regional officials and hospital
administrators.
The June 9 audit found that more than
57,000 veterans were waiting at least 90
days for their first VA medical appoint-
ments, and an additional 64,000 appeared
to have fallen through the cracks, never get-
ting appointments after enrolling for VA
care within the past 10 years.
The new report said the number of veter-
ans waiting more than 90 days dropped to
about 56,300. About 46,400 veterans still
have never gotten an appointment despite
seeking one over the past decade, the report
said.

State exchanges were created under the fed-

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.

funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

MOSCOW Intense ghting
raged Thursday in eastern Ukraine,
where pro-Russia insurgents said
they were losing the battle with
government forces and begged the
Kremlin for military help.
NATOs chief, meanwhile,
accused Russia of resuming a mili-
tary buildup along the border
designed to intimidate Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin has been under pressure from
nationalists at home who have
demanded that he send troops into
eastern Ukraine to help the rebels.
But Putin has stonewalled insur-
gents pleas to join Russia and
welcomed a peace plan and pro-
posed cease-fire put forward by
new Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko.
That plan, however, requires a
secure border between Russia and
Ukraine, Poroshenko says and
its not clear when that will hap-
pen.
Both the Ukrainian government
and the rebels said heavy ghting
took place Thursday near Krasnyi
Liman, just east of the rebel
stronghold of Slovyansk, a city in
the Donetsk region that has been
the epicenter of the insurgency
against the government in Kiev.
Vladislav Seleznev, a
spokesman for Ukrainian forces
in the east, said in a statement
posted on Facebook that four gov-
ernment troops were killed and 20
wounded in ghting Thursday. He
said up to 200 rebels were killed
and hundreds more were wounded
in the battle. That statement could
not be independently conrmed.
Rebel chief Igor Strelkov, how-
ever, said in a statement on
YouTube that his men were far out-
numbered and outgunned by
Ukrainian forces and were likely
to retreat from their positions in
Yampol and Seversk near Krasnyi
Liman. He said the Ukrainian mil-
itary advance would completely
cut rebel supply lines to
Slovyansk and issued a desperate
plea to the Kremlin for military
assistance.
I hope that they have enough
conscience left in Moscow to take
some measures, Strelkov said.
Russia has dismissed Ukrainian
and Western claims that it was
fomenting the rebellion in the
east, saying that Russian citizens
among the rebels are volunteers
and rejecting Western reports that
it has sent heavy artillery across
the border to the rebels.
Denis Pushilin, one of the insur-
gent leaders in Donetsk, told
reporters Thursday in Moscow
that the rebels did have a few tanks
but insisted they had seized them
from Ukrainian forces. The U.S.
government, however, has said it
had evidence that tanks and heavy
military equipment came over the
border from Russia to Ukraine.
As pitched battles continued in
Ukraine, NATO Secretary General
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said
Thursday that Russia had resumed a
military buildup near the
Ukrainian border, calling it a
very regrettable step backward.
I can conrm that we now see a
new Russian military buildup at
least a few thousand more Russian
troops deployed to the Ukrainian
border and we see troop maneu-
vers in the neighborhood of
Ukraine, Fogh Rasmussen said in
London. If theyre deployed to
seal the border and stop the ow of
weapons and ghters that would be
a positive step. But thats not
what were seeing.
The Russian Defense Ministry
refused to comment on the NATO
chiefs statement.
Russian officials responded
angrily to previous NATO claims
of a massive Russian military
presence near the 2,000-kilometer
border, calling them overblown
and insisting that the troops there
were stationed far from the border
and were involved in regular train-
ing.
Still, Putin last month ordered
troops near the border to return to
their permanent bases elsewhere
in Russia, casting it as a move to
assuage tensions. NATO said in
late May that the bulk of an esti-
mated 40,000 troops had pulled
back.
The new Russian military
deployments come at a delicate
time. On Wednesday, Ukraines
new president promised a unilater-
al cease-re to jump start his plan
to end ghting in the countrys
east.

OPINION 9
Disappointed in
high-speed rail funding
Editor,
California leading the way to deter-
ring climate change? Sorry no.
California certainly has to be
anointed the leader in pointless and
useless spending in wasting what are
supposed to be funds to deter climate
change and reduce greenhouse gases
(GHG).
The state Legislature just passed
Senate Bill 862, directing from cap-
and-trade revenue (taxes), $250 mil-
lion for high-speed rail this next year,
along with $400 million to repay a
previous loan to the High-Speed Rail
Authority, used to fund high-speed
rail.
Also included is that forever in
upcoming years, the high-speed rail
project is to receive 25 percent of
whatever revenue (taxes), the cap-and-
trade auctions yield.
Yet, high-speed rail will be a net
polluter of GHG for the next 50 years
at least. Even when running at full
projected ridership in 25 years from
now, high-speed rail would only at
best reduce GHG amounting to 1 per-
cent of the California targets.
All of this to fund Gov. Jerry
Browns legacy project. Our state gov-
ernment at it worst.
The whole Democratic Senate caucus
voted for this legislation, except for
state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, who voted
no, and senators Fran Pavley and Rich
Roth, who did not cast their votes.

Feedback on
Central Park Master Plan
Editor,
I was horried to read some of the
ideas to upgrade this park to be in step
with the world today (Story Feedback
on Central Park Master Plan in the
June 18 edition of the Daily Journal).
This park only needs a tweak here and
there, not building a larger community
center, moving the tennis courts and
creating more parking. The train needs
to stay. Like Vice Mayor Maureen
Freschet, I remember riding that train
as a child. Central Park is such an
inviting place just as it is with wind-
ing trails, benches, beautiful owers,
plants and trees, playgrounds, picnic
facilities and of course the Japanese
Tea Garden that all work together to
become a refreshing haven from the
everyday world. Please dont ruin a
near perfect park just to be up-to-
date.

Abandoned children
Editor,
Why is the U.S. government ship-
ping thousands of unescorted Mexican
children to Arizona and Texas? Where
did these children come from? How did
they get here? Who bought the bus
tickets? Why is the federal govern-
ment dumping their problem on Texas
and Arizona? Our government tells us
our borders are secure. If our borders
are secure, how are these children get-
ting into the country? When Arizona
wanted to stop illegal immigration,
the administration told us that it is a
federal problem. If it is a federal prob-
lem, why are they passing these chil-
dren off onto the states? This is con-
fusing to me. Who is in charge? Is
anyone in charge?

T
his week, 11 Silicon Valley
mayors including Millbrae
Vice Mayor Robert
Gottschalk will be traveling to China
as part of the organized China
Opportunities Silicon Valley trip.
This will be the second trip to China
a Millbrae representative will be tak-
ing since the past November 2014
sister city trip. The purpose of this
trip is primarily to establish contacts
in China for potential investment
opportunities.
There are many domestic problems
in Millbrae that warrant full attention
such as projected $13 million budget
gap across funds. The budget was a
major issue in several of the prior
elections, and still the City Council
has not found an effective solution;
this is the greater problem our city
should be focusing on. The City
Council is doing us a disservice by
pandering overseas instead of serving
the residents who voted for them.
The National Association of
Realtors reports that cash buyers of
property made up a record 42.7 per-
cent of all sales in the rst quarter of
2014. It is reported in Irvine,
California, that 80 percent of all sales
are cash purchases by foreign buyers
from China. This is not a small
amount of the buy-
ing pool or even
close to an example
of a traditional
housing market.
What most
Millbrae residents
do not know is the
signicant amount
of real estate and
condominium complexes are being
purchased primarily for investment
purposes by foreign buyers from
China.
This phenomenon has created an
enormous housing bubble in San
Mateo County and contributes to
speculative housing prices and the
rental crisis affecting the entire Bay
Area. Our local government ofcials
appear to be more interesting in irt-
ing with rich investors overseas and
creating a plutocracy in San Mateo
County rather than provide opportu-
nities for the existing residents to
thrive.
The Examiner reported that in June
2013 alone that the county shed more
than 7,000 middle- and low-income
households during the ve years
prior, while the afuent ones grew by
more than 10,000.
It has grown more important than
ever for all generations to be
involved with local government. For
the aristocrats on the City Council to
state that the trip to China has noth-
ing but altruistic motives absolutely
does not pass my smell test.
But what would you expect from the
same city that bans the Y-
Combinator-backed startup FlightCar
and then instead travels several thou-
sand miles to attract investment?
Believing that Millbraes elected
ofcials have our best interests in
mind requires an incredible suspen-
sion of belief in reality. The residents
living on Hemlock Road have been
made acutely aware in the last several
months of this fact.

Why are local officials going to China? Cost of cap-and-trade
A
ssembly Bill 32, signed by former governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006, requires
California to reduce its emissions to 1990 levels
by 2020 an approximate 16 percent reduction than what
would naturally take place without this action.
The purpose of this legislation was to address the rising
amount of greenhouse gases in the state by capping the
amount of emissions but allowing certain groups to contin-
ue with higher emissions if they pay to do it. In theory, the
nancial disincentive would force polluters to reduce emis-
sions and wed all breath cleaner air and contribute less to
the causes of greenhouse gases, specically water vapor,
carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. It would
also provide the state money to invest in projects that
would also do their part to reduce these gases, though I
dont know if there is much that can be done about water
vapor. It seems carbon dioxide is the main culprit.
Through AB 32, California estab-
lished a cap-and-trade program
through the California Air Resources
Board. The rst phase of the program
targeted large sources of emissions
like electricity companies and rener-
ies and provided allowances to these
companies to make up for their emis-
sions. At rst, these allowances were
free but a small percentage were auc-
tioned off in 2013 and are available
to be purchased by companies who
exceed their emissions targets. That
auction provided the state with
money that was deposited in the states treasury to further
its clean energy goals. This year, the state began allocating
that funding into, Ill stop short of calling it a slush fund, a
raft of programs that includes $250 million for high-speed
rail, $25 million each for transit and intercity rail capital
programs and low carbon transit operations; $200 million
for low carbon transportation, $65 million for water action
plans and $42 million for sustainable forests, among oth-
ers. It also allocated $130 million for affordable housing
and sustainable communities, specically transit-oriented
development. The total allocation this year was $872 mil-
lion. It also created a structure for continuous allocation of
future revenue for rail programs, low carbon transit opera-
tions and affordable housing. And the budget also complies
with 2012s Senate Bill 535 that 25 percent of all cap-and-
trade funds benet low-income areas.
The budget deal hammered out Sunday not only allocates
$250 million this year for high-speed rail, it outlines 25
percent of future revenue from the auctions for it or
around $3 billion to $5 billion a year.
In 2008, California voters passed Proposition 1A, which
approved $10 billion in bonds for the project. But selling
bonds that would cover the rst phase of construction in
the Central Valley has been held up in court and there are
underlying questions over matching federal funds and pri-
vate investment for the project last estimated to cost $68
billion. However, the dedicated funds from the cap-and-trade
auctions could total $25 billion by 2020 a big chunk of
change.
So what does this all mean to you? Ostensibly, it means
we should be breathing cleaner air, but the way the
allowance, or permit process works, it also means organi-
zations that pollute will pay more money to pollute. And
that means energy producers and distributors will have to
pay more to provide us with the energy we require to make
things, keep our homes lit and our cars fueled for our daily
transit needs. And that means the cost will rise for all of us.
Next year, fuel distributors must also comply with the
states cap-and-trade rules. The intent was not to make
money of this plan so it would not be seen as a tax.
However, in January, gas prices for the average consumer
will go up 10 cents to 20 cents a gallon as wholesalers are
required to buy more allowances, or permits. And anyone
who knows anything about economics knows that the cost
of everything rises when fuel costs rise. In addition, it is
likely that home electricity costs will rise as utilities try to
put their books in the black. So even if you are an electric
car driver, you will still be paying more because of these
new rules.
Im not saying the goals outlined in Californias new
policy are bad. Im not saying theyre good. Im simply
making the point that nothing is free and that there is a
cost to pay in any change in behavior, warranted or other-
wise.
And when it comes to the states elected ofcials deter-
mining what to do with the proceeds, it also shows that
politics is alive and well. High-speed rail in theory should
cut emissions. Affordable housing near transit should also
make it easier for people to take the train. But both are a
reection of the states prior struggling policies in which it
allowed the costs for a train from San Francisco to Los
Angeles to elevate and decimated its affordable housing
program through the elimination of redevelopment agen-
cies.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Investors remained in a record-set-
ting mood Thursday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed at an all-time high for the sec-
ond time in two days and notched its
fth gain in ve days.
The Dow Jones industrial average
and Nasdaq composite ended mixed
after drifting between small gains and
losses for much of the day.
The three key stock indexes all
opened higher, holding on to tiny
gains in premarket trading as
investors sized up the latest data on
unemployment aid applications and
an index of economic indicators.
The Labor Department reported that
applications for unemployment bene-
ts fell last week to 312,000, the low-
est in more than six years. The
Conference Board added to the good
news, saying its index of leading indi-
cators rose 0.5 percent in May from
the previous month.
The market began to drift lower,
however, as investors looked beyond
the economic data and focused instead
on a mixed bag of corporate earnings
from companies such as Kroger, Rite
Aid and Pier 1 Imports.
By midday, stocks veered into the
red, where they remained until halfway
through the nal hour of trading, when
a late push elevated the S&P 500 and
Dow barely higher on the day.
Right now were in a situation
where theyre pretty boring markets,
just a slow, easy grind, said Chris
Gaffney, a senior market strategist at
EverBank Wealth Management.
The S&P 500 index rose 2.50
points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,959.48.
Thats slightly above the prior days
record close of 1,956.98. The last
time the index closed at a record high
was June 9th.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 14.84 points, or 0.1 percent, to
16, 921. 46. The Nasdaq composite
slipped 3.51 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 4,359.33.
The three indexes are all up for the
year.
The string of record highs has the
S&P 500 index running ahead of its
50-day moving average. That sug-
gests it could be in for a pullback,
said Jim Russell, senior equity strate-
gist at U.S. Bank Wealth
Management. Russell still expects
the market to move higher in coming
months.
We think the environment is still
favorable for equities to have an
upward bias, Russell said. Its still
too early to put the bear suit on.
Despite its upward bent, the market
has been mostly registering small
moves, reflecting a cautious mood on
the part of many investors heading
into summer, as well as lingering
concern over the possible fallout
from the crisis in Iraq and questions
over the resiliency of the U.S. econo-
my.
The U.S. economy shrank at an
annual rate of 1 percent in the
January-March quarter, the victim of a
severe winter which slowed business
activity in a number of areas. Many
analysts anticipate growth rebounded
strongly in the April-June quarter.
We know the economy is showing
signs of improvement, and weve
seen that trajectory over the past two
or three months, said Russell. To
move the equity market to a higher
level we need to see anecdotal evi-
dence that company earnings are
starting to increase.
The market will get a sense of that
next month, when the next round of
corporate earnings begins. Until
then, the next key market mover will
likely be the June jobs report, due out
the rst week of July.
On Thursday, investors waded
through a mixed bag of corporate
news.
Late recovery gives S&P another record close
By Ryan Nakashima

SEATTLE There are two ways to view
the smartphone Amazon introduced to the
world on Wednesday: Its either the latest in
a long line of phones with fancy features
many people will never use or a magic wand
for shopaholics.
The phones most significant feature,
called Firey, employs audio and object
recognition technology to identify prod-
ucts and present the user with ways to pur-
chase the items through Amazon. Users can
simply snap a photo of a book, for
instance, and Firey will offer up its title
and author, give more information about it
and provide ways to buy it through Amazon
with a single click.
Seven years after Apples iPhone took
over the category, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos
believes there is room in the market for
something different. Even with the domi-
nant leads that Apple and Samsung hold,
Bezos told the Associated Press in an inter-
view, its still early in the wireless device
business.
People change phones all the time, he
said. Its not about taking market share
right away, but making a phone that is ideal
for a certain customer and hoping it takes
hold.
We wanted to make a device thats great
for one person, Bezos said. Its like a cer-
tain person likes chocolate and another per-
son likes vanilla. The customer can
choose.
While the new Fire Phone comes with
some features that are practically industry
standard like a slim prole, a sturdy glass
touchscreen, minimalist buttons
and one camera for facing toward
and away from the user it breaks
new ground in other areas.
The phones Firefly object
recognition feature can identify
items and product names cap-
tured with the devices camera. It
can also pull in useful informa-
tion such as phone numbers,
website addresses. The compa-
ny has catalogued more than a
hundred million items that
Firey can recognize and has
tweaked the technology to
recognize words and charac-
ters in a variety of real-life
situations.
Another feature, called
dynamic perspective, uses four infrared,
front-facing cameras that tell the phone
where the users face and eyes
are located. The feature adjusts
the user interface so that tilting
the screen relative to the view-
ers face can toggle through
screens, scroll through web-
sites, make online video game
characters y up or down, and
render buildings and other cus-
tom-made art in 3-D.
The entry-level Fire phone
costs $199 with a two-year AT&T
contract, which places it at the
high end of smartphone pricing.
But the phone comes with 32 giga-
bytes of memory, double the stan-
dard 16 GB. It also comes with 12
months of Amazon Prime, the
companys free shipping, video,
music and book subscription plan, which
normally costs $99 a year.
Bezos: Fire phone offers something different

Violence in Iraq is pushing U.S. gasoline
prices higher, depriving drivers of the
usual price break between Memorial Day
and July Fourth.
The national average price of $3.67 per
gallon is the highest price for this time of
year since 2008, the year gasoline hit its
all-time high.
The good news is that gasoline is not
likely to spike above $4 as it did 6 years
ago. Or even cross $3.90, as in 2011 and
2012.
You are going to pay a little more than
we thought you were going to pay, says
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil
Price Information Service and
GasBuddy.com. But you are not going to
see any apocalyptic numbers.
Gasoline prices typically fall in the
weeks following Memorial Day, after sup-
plies increase enough to fill up the cars of
the nations vacationers as summer
approaches.
This year, drivers are paying more. The
average has risen every day for a week, and
is now higher than it was on Memorial Day
with more increases sure to come.
Even before violence in Iraq broke out,
this years predicted decline was slower
than expected because of rising U.S. fuel
demand and extensive maintenance at some
Gulf Coast refineries that reduced gasoline
output.
Then, last week, Iraqi insurgents seized a
pair of cities and pledged to attack
Baghdad. None of Iraqs oil fields were tar-
geted, most are far away from the fighting,
and oil exports have continued to flow. But
Iraq is OPECs second-largest exporter, so
worries that oil production might be
impacted was enough to send global oil
prices higher by 5 percent over the last
week.
The average price of gas rose 3 cents per
gallon during the past week, and analysts
expect more increases over the next couple
of weeks.
How the situation in Iraq plays out is
impossible to predict, but analysts note
that the global market is well-supplied
with oil and fuels.

NEW YORK If you use Facebook, the
specic ads you see have been based mostly
on what you do on Facebook your prole
information, status updates, likes and inter-
ests.
Thats changing. The company says it
will soon give advertisers more options to
tailor ads to what you do outside Facebook.
Shopping for a new TV? Get ready to see ads
for TV sets on Facebook.
Unless youre willing to unplug, theres
little you can do to avoid being tracked
online. But there are some ways to control
what ads you see and how the ads are tailored
to you.
Facebook doesnt share your specific
identity with advertisers. Rather, the adver-
tiser can select the types of people to show
ads to.
An advertiser might want to reach women
who just moved to Boston and who just got
engaged, for instance. When buying the ad,
the advertiser checks all the boxes that
apply. Facebook matches the ads to the spe-
cic people who t those attributes, without
having to reveal their identities to the
advertiser.
Besides the obvious attributes such as
location, age and gender, advertisers can
select languages, ethnic afnity and life
events such as people who have recently
moved, are living away from their family,
got a new job and so on.

GM could face
another fine for Impala recall
DETROIT An old email from a General
Motors employee warning of a serious
safety problem could help trigger another
government ne against the automaker.
The Aug. 30, 2005, e-mail surfaced
Wednesday during a House subcommittee
hearing on GMs delayed recall of 2.6 mil-
lion small cars with ignition switch prob-
lem. This email outlined a similar issue with
a larger car.
Employee Laura Andres wrote that she was
driving a 2006 Chevrolet Impala home from
work when she hit a bump and the engine
stalled on busy Interstate 75 near Detroit.
The car behind her had to swerve to avoid a
crash. A GM mechanic told her the cause
was likely a faulty ignition switch.
I think this is a serious safety problem
... Im thinking big recall, Andres wrote in
an e-mail to 11 GM colleagues.
Yet it wasnt until Monday that GM
recalled the Impalas, Buick LaCrosses and
other models with the same switch, almost
nine years after Andres e-mail. Safety regu-
lators received dozens of similar com-
plaints about the cars during that time.
GM said that excess weight on a keychain
could cause the ignition switch to move out
of the run position if the car is jarred, like
when it hits a pothole. The engine stalls,
and the drivers loses power steering and
power brakes.

PINEHURST, N.C. Lucy Li showed her
age only when she nished her historic
round Thursday at the U.S. Womens Open.
Just like any 11-year-old, she went
straight for an ice cream.
The youngest qualifier ever at the
Womens Open played a grown-up game at
Pinehurst No. 2, except for three holes that
made her 8-over 78 look a lot worse than it
was and stretched the odds of her becoming
the youngest player to make the cut.
She looks 11. She doesnt talk 11. And
she doesnt hit the ball like shes 11, said
Catherine ODonnell, who played with her
in a sunbaked opening round on a course
that only four days ago hosted the mens
U.S. Open.
The sixth-grader from the Bay Area was
the star attraction, right down to her Stars &
Stripes outt to celebrate the occasion. She
wore a mid-drift shirt patterned after the
American ag, with a similar motif for a
skirt, complete with silver stars that
matched the color of her braces.
Li wound up 11 shots behind Stacy Lewis,
the No. 1 player in the world who opened
with a 67. But one moment was telling.
The kid made a 7-foot birdie putt on the
par-5 fth hole and headed to the next tee,
her braided pigtails swinging with each
step. The media and a large gallery followed
her right past the adjacent green, where
hardly anyone noticed Lewis making her
way around Pinehurst with no bogeys.
Only this was more than just a sideshow.
Li missed only one fairway by less
than a yard. Even though she hit fairway
metals into half of the holes, she rarely got
out of position. Now if she could only take
back three shots that led to big numbers.
It was a lot of fun. I kind of struggled
today, but it was great, Li said, pausing to
lick her ice cream between answers. I
mean, its 8 over. Its not bad. But I was 7
over in three holes, so thats 1 over in 15
holes. So yeah, I just need to get rid of the
big numbers.

Competitive swimming is about rising to the occasion for Serras Joe Kmak.
The junior owns the Serra record for his specialty event, the 100 breaststroke,
but took quite the circuitous route to etch his top time of 55.09 seconds.
As a sophomore last season, Kmak bested the 17-year-old record of 56.87 set
by Ray Looze in 1986, doing so in the last home match of the season in a dual
meet with St. Francis at Serras Aquatics Center. Just two weeks later at the
Central Coast Section Swimming and Diving
Championships at Santa Clara Swim Center, Kmak
broke his own record with a time of 55.80.
It took Kmak one full year to again break
the record, but when he did, he obliterated
it, swimming a 55.09 to take second
place at the CCS championships May
17. In addition, Kmak was named
Serras team MVP and an All-American
for the third straight year. For these
impressive feats, Kmak has been named

SAO PAULO Luis Suarez scored twice to
give Uruguay a 2-1 victory over England at
the World Cup on Thursday, making an
instant impact on his return from injury to
revive his teams Group D campaign.
The striker lashed in the winner in the
85th minute, after seeing his first-half
opener canceled out by Wayne Rooney. The
win gave Uruguays qualifying chances a
major lift and left Englands hopes of
advancing to the round of 16 in real jeop-
ardy.
Suarez, who hadnt played for more than a
month after undergoing knee surgery, is the
Uruguay player who knows this England
side best, having played for Liverpool for
more than three years.
And by taking his World Cup tally to ve
goals, Suarez ensured that Rooneys rst-
ever goal on footballs biggest stage was in
vain at his third tournament.
Rooney tapped the ball home from close
range in the 75th minute after connecting
with Glen Johnsons pass. Having also lost
against Italy, England now faces the
prospect of not advancing from the group
stage for the rst time since 1958.
Group D leader Italy and Costa Rica, who
both have three points, meet for their sec-
ond group game on Friday. Uruguay now has
three points, having lost its opener to the
Costa Ricans, while England is on zero
points after consecutive defeats following
its losing start to Italy.
It is in the England where Suarez has
stepped up a level and powered in the goals
that saw him voted the Premier Leagues
best player last season. And despite lacking
sharpness at times, he still managed to
recapture the scoring form that helped
Liverpool nish second last season with 31
goals.
Suarez was in the thick of the action in the
opening minutes against an edgy England
side. Goalkeeper Joe Harts rst save came
after Suarezs cross-shot was deected off
the head of Gary Cahill.
As England was struggling to contain
Uruguay, the rst blow came just before
halftime when Diego Godin picked up pos-
session on the halfway line and sprayed it
to Edinson Cavani on the left. Suarez easily
evaded Phil Jagielka to head over Hart, seiz-
ing on defensive lapses just as Mario
Balotelli did in Italys win.
Sturridge had a chance to quickly cancel
out his Liverpool teammates goal but was
denied at the far post.
Uruguay could have extended its lead at
the start of the second half, with Suarezs
corner appearing to be curling into the net
until Hart batted the ball away, and Cavani
cutting in from the left but only slicing the
shot wide.
Although after several chances, Rooney
ended his World Cup hoodoo it was rendered
meaningless by Suarezs devastating nal
touch.
Suarezs Liverpool teammate, England
captain Steven Gerrard, tried to clear a long
punt by Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando
Muslera, and the ball glanced off the head of
midelder and back toward his own goal.
Suarez ran onto it and beat Hart with a right-
footed shot from about nine yards.
Now it is Uruguay back on track going
into its game against Italy on Tuesday,
when England faces a must-win match
against Costa Rica.
Colombia 2, Ivory Coast 1
BRASILIA, Brazil Colombia scored
twice in six minutes in a lively second half
to beat Ivory Coast 2-1 at the World Cup on
Thursday and move to the brink of the
knockout stage.
James Rodriguezs powerful header from a
corner in the 64th minute was quickly fol-
lowed by a low nish by substitute Juan
Quintero, securing the South Americans
second straight win in Group C in front of a
partisan pro-Colombian crowd.
Gervinho reduced the decit in the 73rd
minute with a superb run and shot inside the
near post, but the Ivory Coast could not nd
an equalizer despite a strong nish.
A point against Japan in its third game
will definitely seal qualification for
Colombia but it could be secured before
that, depending on the result of Japan-
Greece later Thursday.
Greece 0, Japan 0
NATAL, Brazil Greece was reduced to
10 men after Costas Katsouranis was sent
off in the 38th minute with his second
booking but was still level 0-0 with Japan
at halftime of their Group C game at the
World Cup.
Katsouranis drew his rst yellow with a
hard foul in the 27th minute and later was
sent off for another rough challenge on
Makoto Hasebe. Greece also lost starting
striker Kostas Mitroglou to an injury in the
35th minute. Greece, which has a dismal
scoring history in the World Cup, had turned
to Mitroglou to generate goals after using
him as a substitute in a 3-0 loss to
Colombia.
Japan would be eliminated from the World
Cup with a second loss. Greece would still
be mathematically alive with a defeat but
would face long odds against advancing out
of the group.

the San Mateo Daily Journal Boys Swimmer
of the Year.
Serra has an incredible history of swim-
mers, Serra head coach Bob Greene said. You
have Tom McBreen, he was a 1972 (Olympic)
bronze medalist. You have Lefe Crawford,
who was the best swimmer ever to come out of
Serra High School. ... You have to look at Joe
as probably up in that top-ve area, I think, of
the best we have had. And we have a great his-
tory.
How it took Kmak an entire year to break his
own record, then to do it so authoritatively,
has much to do with tapering. He trained hard
throughout his junior campaign, maintaining
a rigid practice pace until the playoff season,
when he tapered his schedule to adequately rest
for the most important races of the season.
But the phenomenon of topping his previ-
ous record by the eternity of three-quarters of a
second has as much to do with good, old-fash-
ioned competitiveness.
Mostly its just racing. I love to race,
Kmak said. I denitely love that competition.
If Ive got someone next to me, Ill get going
extra fast in that last lap to chase them down to
try and catch up.
Kmak found himself in the rare position of
playing catch-up at the CCS championships.
And while he nished in second place, it took
St. Francis senior Curtis Ogren setting a CCS
record with a time of 53.81 seconds to better
his Serra rival.
With the promise of a senior season still
ahead of him, Kmak has his sights set on more
record-breaking performances. However, hes
taking aim for more than just the individual
events. A mainstay on the 200 medley relay
team, Kmak and his teammates are especially
hungry to top the Serra record in the event.
We had a really good team this year and we
almost set the school record, Kmak said. We
tried hard and put our all into it.
The team of Kmak, senior Zach Zamecki,
junior Luke Balzarini and sophomore Cyrus
Morrison twice came within a few 10ths of a
second of breaking the record, at the CCS
championships and the West Catholic Athletic
League championships. But with three mem-
bers of the squad due to return next season,
Greene is optimistic about the chances of rais-
ing a new Serra-record placard atop the 200
medley relay greats on the wall of fame pool-
side at the Aquatics Center.
We just missed school record, Greene said.
But we can get there next year.
Kmak certainly has a busy year ahead of him,
but he seems up to the challenge. He is current-
ly competing for his club team, Pasa, with
Stanford Aquatics. This summer, he is slated to
contend at the Junior National
Championships July 30-August 3 and the
National Championships August 6-10, both
being held at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics
Complex in Irvine.
Then he returns home in the fall for his sen-
ior season of Serra water polo, for which he is
also a force in the pool. As a junior, in addition
to being named Serras team MVP, he earned
All-WCALand All-CCS honors as an attacker.
Hes really pretty diverse for a guy that
most people just think of him as a breaststro-
ker, Greene said. But he can swim every-
thing well.
Come swim season, Kmak certainly seems
to do everything. He competed in three events
at the CCS championships, while taking
eighth in the 200 individual medley.
Throughout the season, he customarily topped
out at the maximum four events, also swim-
ming the 400 free relay.
For me, mainly, my breaststroke is No. 1,
Kmak said. Ill swim that every meet. I just
love doing breaststroke. I can adapt though.
You can put me in free, back and y. Usually
Ill be able to put up a good, solid time in any
race but buttery is a little iffy.
Alifer in the pool, Kmak grew up swimming
since before he could walk. He looked up to
four older cousins, all of whom swam in col-
lege. Rebecca Plume swam for Loyola
Marymount, Liz Plume competed at University
of the Pacic, and Joe and Olivia Plume each
were on the team at UC Santa Barbara.
And with Kmaks talent for academics rival-
ing that of his athletic prowess, he may be in
for quite a recruiting season in the coming
months. According to Greene, some of the col-
leges currently interested in Kmak are UCSB,
USC, Cal and Stanford.
When you really look at him as an athlete
and in the classroom, youve got to look at
him as one of the best (Serra swimmers) ever,
Greene said. Hes a wiz in the classroom. Hes
great obviously in swimming. But he was also
our MVPin water polo. So, hes just loaded
with talent.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh delivered a simple but
emphatic message to his players as they
gathered in a circle at the end of the teams
three-day minicamp.
Following an offseason in which three key
players were either arrested or were part of an
investigation by police, Harbaugh warned
the 49ers to be more aware of their circum-
stances and who they hang out with.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick was one of
the three players involved in off-eld inci-
dents.
Although Kaepernick was never charged
and was cleared of any wrongdoing stemming
from a possible sexual assault investigation
in Miami, he said the incident left him more
cautious about his life away from football.
A lot more, Kaepernick said Thursday.
Since I really started playing its something
Ive been more aware of,
especially in the past few
months. Its something
that obviously you have
to be very aware of.
Kaepernick and two
other NFL players were
investigated for an inci-
dent involving a woman at
a downtown hotel in
Miami in April.
Kaepernick repeatedly
denied that he had done anything wrong, and
prosecutors decided earlier this week to drop
the case and not charge any of the three play-
ers.
Later, 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was
arrested at Los Angeles International Airport
after authorities said he became belligerent
during a security screening and threatened
that he had a bomb.
That followed on the heels of San Francisco
cornerback Chris Cullivers arrest in March
on suspicion of felony hit
and run and reckless driv-
ing after he drove a car
into a bicyclist and ed.
Because the players are
essentially on their own
for the next month until
training camp begins,
meaning plenty of free
time with little to no
supervision, Harbaugh
gave them a stern reminder to avoid trouble.
Be aware of who you associate with, friend
or foe, Harbaugh said, summing up his mes-
sage to the players. There always seems to
be a foe presence. Mainly, surround yourself
with good people.
Kaepernick has had to do that for reasons
other than what happened in Miami. This
month, the 2011 second-round draft pick
signed a $126 million, six-year contract
extension.
Already a target of defensive players on the
eld, Kaepernick and his new wealth became a
target off the eld the instant he signed the
deal. Thus his emphasis on being more cau-
tious.
You want to keep good people around all
the time, regardless of where youre at,
Kaepernick said.
The 49ers wrapped up their mandatory
minicamp with a brief workout in the after-
noon.
Kaepernick played catch and joked with
some of his teammates before turning serious
during a 7-on-7 drill when he completed a
handful of short passes over the middle and
ried a deep throw in trafc to wide receiver
Anquan Boldin.
After practice ended, Kaepernick and sever-
al teammates engaged in a heated mini-bas-
ketball game inside the locker room. At one
point, the quarterback glanced at the nearly
two dozen reporters standing near his locker
waiting for him then turned his attention
back to the basketball game.
Kaepernick hears coachs warning loud and clear

Ole Miss 6, TCU 4
OMAHA, Neb. Will
Allen drove in the go-ahead
run in the seventh inning,
Mississippi relievers held
TCU without a hit after
Kevin Crons homer in the
fth, and the Rebels stayed
alive in the College World
Series with a 6-4 victory
Thursday night.
Ole Miss (48-20) will
play Virginia on Friday night in a bracket nal.
The Rebels would need to beat the Cavaliers
(51-14) on Friday and again Saturday to reach
next weeks best-of-three championship series.
It was the most runs allowed by TCU (48-18)
in 16 games.
Allen, who was 0 for 8 in the CWS when he
came to bat in the third inning, went 3 for 5
with three RBIs.
Josh Laxer (3-2) worked 2 2/3 innings of
relief for the win, and Aaron Greenwood went
the last 1 1-3 innings for his fth save. Jordan
Kipper (8-3), who relieved struggling TCU
starter Tyler Alexander, took the loss.
Allen had a two-out, two-run double in the
second for a 3-0 lead, the tie-breaking base hit
in the seventh, and he scored an insurance run
after he singled in the ninth.
Alexander, TCUs rst 10-game winner in
four years, struggled for a second straight start
after he won six in a row. He gave up consecu-
tive hits to start the fourth and left with his team
down three runs.
College World Series
Will Allen
Li had the same score as ODonnell, Natalie
Gulbis and Jessica Korda, a two-time winner
on the LPGATour this year. There already were
11 rounds in the 80s.
Perhaps most remarkable about her round,
besides the 13 pars and two birdies, was how
she bounced back from mistakes.
Thats what I was so happy about in my
round, she said. Because after I got doubles
and triples, I was able to get it back. Like I
made a good stretch of holes after the double
on the rst hole. And after the triple, I birdied
No. 5. And I got a lot of pars after that.
Li left a tough angle for her third shot on the
par-5 10th hole and came up short and into a
bunker. The sand shot looked reasonable until
it kept rolling off the back of the green. She
chipped with her wedge (a pink shaft) to about
8 feet and missed the putt to take double
bogey.
Another double bogey came on the 450-yard
16th hole when her fairway metal went into a
bunker some 20 yards short of an elevated
green, leaving a shot so hard even the best
men would have a tough time. Her bunker shot
was not strong enough, and she wound up
missing a 7-foot bogey putt.
Asked to have one swing back, it would be
the wedge on the short third hole. She went
left of the ag, and it trickled off the turtleback
green the signature of this Donald Ross
course and into a bunker. She blasted out
over the green, chipped on to 18 feet and
three-putted for triple bogey.
But she made a pair of smooth birdies a 6-
iron to 15 feet on No. 1, and a wedge to a right
pin position on the fth hole along with
some tough par saves. The best came at the
426-yard eighth hole, when her 5-wood from
198 yards went long and over a steep slope
right of the green. She lofted a pitch perfectly,
and it rolled 6 feet by the cup. This is the same
hole where John Daly putted off the green so
many times in 1999 that he whacked the ball
with his putter when it was still moving and
rang up an 11.
Give her that shot again and she cant do
that another 50 times, probably, ODonnell
said.
Along the way in a 5 1/2-hour round, Li
often plopped to the ground in the shade and
sat until it was time to hit, one time munching
from a cup of fruit.
I normally sit down even more than that,
she said, giggling as always.
Kaymer last week used putter exclusively
when he was just off the green. Li chose to
chip because thats what made her more com-
fortable. She won the driving and chipping
portion of the Drive, Chip & Putt
Championship two months ago at Augusta
National.
That was for kids. This is for grown-ups.
She t in just ne.

Phelps ready for
challenge at Santa Clara meet
SANTACLARA Michael Phelps is get-
ting ready for his third swim meet since
coming out of retirement.
His ultimate goal may be to compete in
the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, but hes
not giving away any clues right now.
Phelps, a winner of 18 Olympic gold
medals, says hes focused on this weekends
Santa Clara Grand Prix, where he is entered
in four events: the 100 meter freestyle and
100 meter buttery on Friday, the 200 meter
freestyle on Saturday and the 200 individual
medley on Sunday.
He ended his retirement two months ago,
and the upcoming event may be his most
ambitious. He swam in two events in each of
his past two meets.
Phelps coach Bob Bowman says the
world record holder would be competitive if
he decides to give it a go at the next
Olympics.
Sports brief
By Michael Wagaman
OAKLAND Scott Kazmir pitched seven
innings to win his fourth straight start, Yoenis
Cespedes hit his 14th home run of the season
and the Oakland Athletics beat the Boston Red
Sox 4-2 on Thursday night.
Stephen Vogt had two hits and two RBIs, Jed
Lowrie scored twice and John Jaso singled in
an insurance run in the seventh to move the As
a season-high 17 games over .500. Its the
best record in the majors and continued
Oaklands best start since 1990.
Kazmir (9-2) went into the game with the
second-lowest ERAamong qualiers in the AL
and extended his streak to 18 1/3 innings with-
out allowing an earned run before Dustin
Pedroia hit a two-run home run in the sixth. He
struck out eight and didnt walk a batter.
Cespedes had not homered against the Red
Sox until his two-out, solo shot off Jake
Peavey in the third.
Boston had played ve straight one-run
games heading into the series opener with
Oakland. This one was tight as well.
The As led 3-0 after Vogts single scored
Lowrie in the fourth.
Kazmir, who hasnt lost since May 23, took
a shutout into the sixth that Pedroia ended with
a two-out home run.
It was the only mistake Kazmir made. Over
his past ve starts, Oaklands right-hander is
4-0 with a 1.27 ERA.
Luke Gregerson pitched the eighth and Dan
Otero worked the ninth for his rst career save.
Peavey (1-5) had a second straight strong
outing but remained winless over his past 10
starts. Peavey allowed ve hits over 6 1-3
innings, retired eight of the nal nine batters
he faced and struck out four with three walks.
It wasnt enough to prevent the Red Sox
from ending their three-game winning streak.
Vogt hit an RBI groundout off Peavey in the
second and singled in another run in the fourth.
Lowrie, who walked and doubled, scored both
times.
Cespedes hit his 14th home run with two
outs in the third. The Cuban slugger is batting
.343 with four home runs and 12 RBIs through
17 games in June.
Kazmir retired 15 of the rst 17 batters he
faced before Pedroias two-run home run cut
Oaklands lead to 3-2.

Local pair makes
2014 MiLB debuts
Apair of Serra High School and
Skyline College alums made
their 2014 minor-league debuts
this week.
Julian Merryweather made his
minor-league debut Tuesday, ring
two innings of scoreless relief for
Clevelands Short-Season afliate
Mahoning Valley.
The right-hander entered to
start the sixth inning amid a 1-1
tie against the Auburn
Doubledays. Merryweather faced
the minimum, his only blemish
coming on a walk to Cody Gunter
to start the seventh inning. But
he was promptly thrown out on a
steal attempt.
After Merryweather departed,
Auburn rallied to top Mahoning
Valley, 2-1.
A fth-round draft pick out of
Oklahoma Baptist, Merryweather
recently completed a historic sen-
ior season in which he posted a
1.07 ERA, the second best single-
season ERAin Bison history.
Monday, Grant Nelson made his
season debut on opening day of
the Pioneer League. Tabbing the
start behind the plate for
Diamondbacks Rookie-Class
Missoula, Nelson was 1 for 2 with
an RBI. Missoula triumphed over
Helena, 8-5.
Nelson was a ninth-round draft
pick out of St. Louis University in
2013 after an exceptional colle-
giate season behind the plate in
which he was named to the watch
list for the Johnny Bench Award.
He went on to hit .197 over two
minor-league levels last season,
but went 6 for 20 (.300) in an ini-
tial stint with Missoula.

Rio (Olympics in 2016) is de-
nitely the goal Im looking ahead
to, and there are small steps to get
to that goal. I plan to be running
ve events, plus the marathon in
Rio, so youre looking at six
events, McFadden said in a press
release. Here (at CSM this week-
end) I get to specically practice
my track events which includes
starts and distance as well. Im run-
ning the 100 through the 5,000
here, so it is really important to
see where I am for the world cham-
pionships next year in 2015.
Other reigning world champions
expected to compete include:
Raymond Martin (Jersey City,
New Jersey), Jeremy Campbell
(Perryton, Texas), Lex Gillette
(Raleigh, North Carolina), Cassie
Mitchell (Atlanta, Georgia) Jarryd
Wallace (Athens, Georgia),
Richard Browne (Jackson,
Mississippi), Blake Leeper
(Kingsport, Tennessee) and
Jerome Singleton (Irmo, South

Gillette recently tied his own
world record in the F11 long jump
and was asked about improving
his own mark this weekend.
Im always shooting for a world
record, Gillette said in a press
release. So if I can get one cen-
timeter farther, Ill be happy.

school records in all eight individual
events. Put it this way: She could come back
for her 25th high school reunion and her
name will still be at the top of the (school)
record books.
And despite all her individual success
during her high school career she won six
CCS individual championships Howe
was most delighted to nally win relay gold
this season. She led off the 200 medley
relay and teammates Selby Sturzenegger,
Kayla Holman and Kathryn Bower brought
home a new CCS record of 1 minute, 43.25
seconds, earning All-American honors in
the process.
In the 400 free relay, Howe, teaming with
the same trio as the previous relay, swam
the anchor leg and chased down Monta
Vistas Carly Reid to snatch a second relay
title with an All-American time of 3:25.03.
I denitely think the relay titles were
more surprising. They were the more excit-
ing races for me, Howe said. Our team had
never won a relay championship before.
Said Morris: [Howes] anchor leg was
amazing. All the three other legs had life-
time bests.
The individual events, however, are where
Howe has made her name and she has domi-
nated the 100 backstroke and 200 individual
medley an event in which she swims 50
yards of the backstroke, breaststroke, but-
tery and freestyle.
With her win in the 100 back this season,
she won four straight CCS titles in that
event, dropping her time and setting a
record each season. She swam a 53.31 her
freshman year and capped her high school
career with a new CCS record of 51.54
nearly three seconds faster than the second-
place nisher.
Her time also broke Missy Franklins pri-
vate school mark. Franklin was the toast of
the 2010 Summer Olympics in London and
is currently swimming at Cal.
Howe came close to breaking Franklins
prep mark last year and vowed to get the
record this season.
Just missing the record last year was a
little frustrating, but it gave me motiva-
tion, Howe said. Ive gotten to the point
where Im not dropping a lot of time, but it
makes it worthwhile when you drop time
again. When I do drop time, it reects all the
hard work Ive put in.
Her win in the 200 IM was her third in four
years and second in a row. The only time she
didnt win the CCS title was her sophomore
year when she nished second.
This year, her time of 1:57.75 set another
CCS record, topped her nearest competitor
by more than two seconds and earned yet
another All-American nomination.
I just go in (to CCS) with the mind-set of
doing the best I can, Howe said. If I think
about it too much, it kind of stresses me out.
I dont think I swim as well when Im tense
and nervous.
Morris main goal with Howe, then, was to
keep her loose.
I knew she would have a great year
because she puts a lot of pressure on herself.
But she was a lot more relaxed this year. It
was more about enjoying her senior year,
Morris said. As her (high school) coach,
theres not much I can do to make her go
faster. I can make her smile and make her
feel good about herself. When shes laugh-
ing and joking, youre in for something
good.
Howe is a little different than most high
school athletes in that she does most of her
training with her club team, Palo
Alto/Stanford Aquatics. She would practice
with her SHP teammates only once a week,
but despite the relatively little amount of
time she spent with them, Howe did her best
to remain just another swimmer on the
Gators squad.
All my high school teammates are really
supportive. They know I go with my club
team (to do most of my training). My club
coach has been really flexible with the
whole club-high school team thing. [My
teammates] understand it, Howe said. I
dont consider myself a celebrity at all. I
denitely have a goofy personality around
my teammates and they see I enjoy what Im
doing.
Howe will now take her talents to Stanford
University next season and compete against
some of the best swimmers in the world in
the Pac-12 Conference including an
anticipated showdown with Franklin and
concentrate on qualifying for national and
Olympic teams.
She certainly has Olympic trial [times].
The difculty is, in the U.S. you can only
send two to the Olympics. Her 100 back
time (at CCS) would have been fifth at
NCAAs, Morris said. But shes going to a
really strong Stanford team. I think shes
ready to take it to the next step.
HOWE
OAKLAND NCAAPresident Mark Emmert
stuck to his contention that amateurism is the
core of college athletics, saying any effort to
pay players would destroy a framework that has
been in place for more than a century and cause
many schools to either abandon sports or
refuse to play other schools that do pay.
Emmert said college athletes themselves
wouldnt want to play
against other athletes who
were getting paid.
They want to know
everyone is playing by the
same rules, he said. They
want to know the other
teams consist of student
athletes just like them.
Emmert took the witness
stand Thursday in a land-
mark antitrust trial against the NCAA to say
college sports would be fatally awed if players
were allowed to receive a portion of the billions
of dollars in basketball and football television
revenues now owing into big conferences and
colleges.
Emmert said one of the biggest reasons fans
like college sports is that they believe the ath-
letes are really students who play for a love of
the sport and for their school and community.
He said fans understand college players arent as
good as professionals, but that doesnt stop
some programs from being more popular than
professional teams.
To convert college sports into professional
sports would be tantamount to converting it
into minor league sports, Emmert said. And
we know that in the U.S. minor league sports
arent very successful either for fan support or
for the fan experience.
Emmerts testimony came in a much-antici-
pated appearance as the NCAAtries to convince
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken that its sys-
tem of so-called amateurism is not anti-com-
petitive and is the best model for regulating
college sports.
Watching closely from the plaintiffs table
was former UCLAbasketball star Ed OBannon,
who along with 19 other former players is
seeking an injunction that would allow players
to band together and sell the rights to their
names, images and likenesses (NILs) in broad-
casts and video games. OBannon testied on
the rst day of the trial last week that he went to
UCLAto play basketball and that he was a stu-
dent grudgingly at best.
The lawsuit and other efforts targeting the
NCAA have already had some effect, with the
biggest ve conferences moving quickly
toward giving athletes more money and bene-
ts. Emmert said he supported those moves, but
said giving athletes more than the true cost of
attendance would cause a free-for-all in recruit-
ing and force many schools to give up smaller
sports.
Many schools, he said, would simply leave
Division I sports rather than pay their players.
Under friendly questioning by an NCAA
attorney, Emmert defended the concept of ama-
teurism, which he said has been a core principle
from the time the NCAAwas founded in 1905 to
today.
Its one of the most fundamental principles
of the NCAA and intercollegiate athletics,
Emmert said. They have always seen and
assumed that intercollegiate athletics is about
the notion that these are members of the stu-
dent body. Theyre not hired employees con-
ducting games for entertainment. Theyre not a
random group of folks that just come together
to play sports.

destroy college sports

WORLD 17
By Hamza Hendawi

BAGHDAD With the country
in turmoil, rivals of Iraqs Shiite
prime minister are mounting a
campaign to force him out of
ofce, with some angling for sup-
port from Western backers and
regional heavyweights.
On Thursday, their effort
received a massive boost from
President Barack Obama.
The U.S. leader stopped short of
calling for Nouri al-Maliki to
resign, saying its not our job to
choose Iraqs leaders. But, his
carefully worded comments did all
but that.
Only leaders that can govern
with an inclusive agenda are going
to be able to truly bring the Iraqi
people together and help them
through this crisis, Obama
declared at the White House.
Weve said publicly, that
whether he (al-Maliki) is prime
minister or any other leader
aspires to lead the country, that
there has to be an agenda in which
Sunni, Shiite and Kurd all feel that
they have the opportunity to
advance their interest through the
political process, the president
said.
An inclusive agenda has not
been high on the priorities of al-
Maliki, whose credibility as an
able leader suffered a serious set-
back when Sunni militants of the
al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant launched a
lightning offensive last week that
swallowed up a large chunk of
northern Iraq, together with the
nations second city, Mosul.
Iraq: Al-Malikis rivals jockey to replace him
By Diaa Hadid and Emad Matti
MULAABDULA, Iraq Among
rolling wheat elds with machine-
gun re rattling in the distance,
Kurdish fighters patrol the new
frontier of their autonomous
region of northern Iraq, dozens of
miles from their ofcial border. In
front of them are Islamic mili-
tants, behind them is the Kurds
newly captured prize, stretches of
oil-rich territory.
In Iraqs chaos, the Kurds are
emerging as signicant winners
and their victories are fueling
sentiment among their popula-
tion to declare outright independ-
ence.
As Sunni insurgents swept over
a large chunk of northern Iraq and
barreled toward Baghdad the past
two weeks, Kurdish fighters
known as peshmerga seized terri-
tory of their own, effectively
expanding the Kurdish-run region
into areas it has long claimed.
Most notably, they grabbed the
oil center of Kirkuk. And in con-
trast to the Shiite-led government
in Baghdad, which is in turmoil,
the Kurds are growing more con-
dent, vowing to increase oil sales
independent of the central gov-
ernment.
Kurds emerge as winners in Iraq chaos
By Julie Pace
and Hamza Hendawi
WASHINGTON Inching back
into a ght he tried to leave
behind, President Barack Obama
announced Thursday he was dis-
patching 300 U.S. military advis-
ers to Iraq to help quell the rising
insurgency in the crumbling
nation. He also challenged Iraqs
embattled leader to create a more
inclusive government or risk his
country descending into sectarian
civil war.
The test is before him and other
Iraqi leaders as we speak, Obama
said of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki, whose political fate
appeared increasingly in play as
his rivals launched a secretive
effort to replace him.
Less than three years after
Obama heralded the end of
Americas war in Iraq, he insisted
he was not sending the military
back into combat. Still, when cou-
pled with previously announced
steps, the presidents actions
could put about 600 additional
U.S. troops in the midst of Iraqs
deeply unstable security situation.
Underscoring the volatility was
a tenacious ght over Iraqs largest
oil renery north of Baghdad. Iraqi
soldiers and helicopter gunships
battled Sunni
militants for a
third day on
Thursday for
control of the
renery, the
loss of which
would be a dev-
astating sym-
bol of the gov-
e r n m e n t s
powerlessness in the face of a
determined insurgency hostile to
the West.
Despite the deteriorating condi-
tions, Obama held off approving
airstrikes that the Iraqi govern-
ment has sought to stem an insur-
gency that has taken over the
cities of Mosul and Tikrit and has
pressed toward Baghdad. The pres-
ident said he could still approve
targeted and precise strikes if the
situation on the ground required it,
noting that the U.S. had stepped
up intelligence gathering in Iraq to
help identify potential targets.
Ofcials said manned and
unmanned U.S. aircraft are now y-
ing over Iraq 24 hours a day on
intelligence collection missions.
If the U.S. were to proceed with
airstrikes, ofcials did not rule out
the prospect of hitting targets in
Syria, where the militant group
pressing through Iraq also has
deep ties.

You dont have to be middle-aged, or even
an adult, to know songs like Sherry, Big
Girls Dont Cry, and Walk Like a Man.
Sure, theyre 60s-era hits by The Four
Seasons, but theyve become such pop cul-
ture xtures that even youngsters whove
never heard the name Frankie Valli could
surely croon a few bars in his signature
falsetto.
Its little wonder that the stage musical
Jersey Boys has become one of the most
successful shows in Broadway history on
the strength of those sublimely catchy
tunes. And its also little wonder that the
prospect of bringing the show to the screen
appealed to Clint Eastwood, who at 84 is
still, blessedly, up for challenges.
Whats rather curious, though, is that
with all the talent involved not only
Eastwood as director, but an excellent cast
plucked from Jersey Boys stage regulars
the lm is distinctly uneven, hugely
appealing at times and oddly pedestrian,
even cheesy, at others.
One problem may be that Jersey Boys
tries to do a few things at once. On one
level, its a fairly faithful re-creation of the
Broadway show; the same writers, Marshall
Brickman and Rick Elice, penned the
screenplay, and the excellent John Lloyd
Young reprises his Tony-winning perform-
ance as Valli. But it also aims to be an edgi-
er lm exploring the bands entanglements
with the mob back in Jersey a sort of
Goodfellas to pop music. The goals dont
always mix.
The dialogue, too, sometimes sounds
overly, well, stagey. And a key convention
of the show band members breaking the
fourth wall to address the audience directly
is used unevenly, abandoned for long
stretches and suddenly popping up when it
doesnt feel needed.

Jersey Boys catchy but uneven
By Jake Coyle
NEWYORK Amid the swirl of an early
1960s party scene in Clint Eastwoods lat-
est, an adaptation of Jersey Boys, the hit
Broadway musical about Frankie Valli and
the Four Seasons, a television screen ash-
es an unexpected face: young Clint, him-
self, in black-and-white.
The period-appropriate shot from the TV
Western Rawhide a wry Hitchcockian
cameo condenses in a moment the
almost unfathomable breadth of
Eastwoods career: fresh-faced cowboy to
steadfast Oscar-winning director. Does it
feel like a lifetime ago to Eastwood?
Several lifetimes ago, chuckles the 84-
year-old director. Seeing myself in 1959
or 60 or 61 or whenever that episode was
done, it was kind of like:
Wow. Ive traveled a
long road since then.
That road from

made an unlikely detour
down the New Jersey Turnpike. Jersey

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The Farnsworth Invention refers
to television, the revolutionary device
conceived by Philo T. Farnsworth
when he was a 14-year-old farm boy in
Idaho.
Presented by Palo Alto Players,
Aaron Sorkins play tells the story of
how Farnsworth brought his idea to
fruition with the rst image transmit-
ted at his lab on San Franciscos Green
Street in 1927 and how he engaged in a
long-running patent battle with David
Sarnoff, general manager of RCA and
subsequently NBC.
Parts of the story are alternately nar-
rated by Sarnoff (Michael Sally) and
Farnsworth (Dominic Falletti.)
Thirteen other actors portray some 90
characters.
What makes this PAP production
unique is that it stirred up controversy
before its opening mainly because it
inaccurately says that Farnsworth lost
his patent case to Sarnoff when just the
opposite was true.
Several people voiced their concerns
to local newspapers. Farnsworth sup-
porters in the courtyard of the Lucie
Stern Center in Palo Alto quietly hand-
ed out leaets about him at the June 14
opening.
Some held handmade signs with such
messages as Philo won, Friend of
Philo and Truth Philo won. Two
held a banner proclaiming
Farnsworths induction into the TV
Hall of Fame in 2013.
A program insert from playwright
Sorkin asserts that the play clearly
shows that Farnsworth invented elec-
tronic TV (other inventors had tried
other approaches) and that Sarnoffs
RCAstole it from him.
Sorkin also says that he condensed
many years of legal wrangling into
one scene. He concludes, ... in the
end, the inventor of television died
broke and in obscurity, and that was
the larger truth I was getting at.
Director Dave Sikulas program note
opens with The story you are about to
see is true. Mostly. He also acknowl-
edges that the last big decision
announced in Act Two ... went precise-
ly the opposite way.
The play starts with Farnsworth
(1906-1971) getting his idea while
plowing a eld in Idaho. From there it
goes through his teen and young adult
years when he married a fellow
Mormon, Pem (Jennifer Gregoire), and
pursued funding to develop his idea.
These scenes alternate with
Sarnoffs youth, when he and his
Jewish family left what is now Belarus
for the United States when he was 10.
His career in electronic communica-
tions began when he worked for the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. and
rose from there.
Although the overall play is inter-
esting, its heavy on scientic infor-
mation that might go over the heads of
some people. However, others in tech-
savvy Silicon Valley will probably
understand it.
The set by Kuo-Hao Lo features a
large TV screen showing video projec-
tions by George Mauro.
A problem with this production is
that director Sikula moves the action
and dialogue so fast that its some-
times hard to connect with the charac-
ters, differentiate among them and
comprehend what theyre saying.
Along those lines, Falletti is too
animated as Farnsworth, and, at least
on opening night, Sally muffed some
of his lines as Sarnoff. Otherwise, he
was convincing.
One of the most interesting seg-
ments of the play opens Act 2. Its a
clip from a 1957 broadcast of TVs
Ive Got a Secret hosted by Garry
Moore. His guest was Farnsworth,
whose secret was I invented electron-
ic television.
Incidentally, the show was spon-
sored by Winston cigarettes, the logo
prominently displayed in front of
Moore and the four-person panel try-
ing to guess the secret.
After that, Act 2 gets bogged down
in legal wrangling and behind-the-
scenes skullduggery that reects poor-
ly on Sarnoff. However, it ends with
another TV clip, this one of Apollo 11
about to blast off for the rst manned
mission to the moon in 1969.
Despite the controversy, its clear
that Farnsworth did indeed invent tele-
vision and that he was a genius.
However, he deserves a better play and
a better production than this.
Adetailed analysis of the plays facts
and ction is available at www.the-
farnsworthinvention.com/intro.html.
The Farnsworth Invention will
continue at the Lucie Stern Theater,
1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto,
through June 29. For tickets and infor-
mation call (650) 329-0891 or visit

Modern Family dad headlines gay marriage event
SALT LAKE CITY In the season nale of the ABC hit
Modern Family, actor Ty Burrells character ends up ofci-
ating at the wedding of the shows comi-
cal gay couple.
Burrells support for gay marriage
extends beyond the scripted show, as
evidenced in December when he served as
the ofcial witness to an unplanned les-
bian wedding at his bar in Salt Lake City
when same-sex marriage was briefly
legal in Utah.
On Thursday, hell once again display
his support for making gay and lesbian
weddings legal when he headlines a
fundraiser in Salt Lake City. Burrell, who plays bumbling
dad Phil Dunphy on the sitcom, is lending his celebrity sta-
tus to help a group backed by co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson,
who plays one half of the shows gay couple.
The evening event is being staged by an organization that
Ferguson and his real-life husband created to help pay for
the legal costs of challenging same-sex marriage bans.
Burrell and Ferguson and his husband Justin Mikita will
be joined by the three same-sex couples who sued Utah,
their attorneys and representatives from the National Center
for Lesbian Rights, which has helped handle the legal case.
Burrell told the Associated Press recently that its been an
exciting time to be alive as the gay marriage movement
gains steam across the country.

You know George Washington and John
Hancock as founding fathers. But what
about George Washington, successful
whiskey distiller? Or John Hancock, forti-
fied wine importer?
Turns out some of that patriot spirit came
in bottles.
I was surprised at how much people
drank, says Corin Hirsch, who chronicled
the drinking habits of colonial-era
Americans in her recently released book
Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New
England: From Flips and Rattle-Skulls to
Switchel and Spruce Beer.
People were starting their days with
alcohol and ending their days with alco-
hol, says Hirsch. It was woven into the
culture in fundamental ways.
Take John Adams, second president of
the United States and father of the sixth,
who started each day with a tankard of cider.
Adams also served as lawyer for Hancock,
who got into a kerfuffle in 1768 when the
British seized his sloop, the Liberty, in
Boston Harbor, claiming charges that
didnt stick that Hancock had avoided
paying duties on most of his shipment of
Madeira, a fortified wine.
Madeira made sense as a New World drink
because it developed its character through
being exposed to heat and sloshing around
in barrels at sea. Sherry, also fortified, was
also popular.
The one thing colonials werent likely to
drink was water, considered a very dubious
beverage.
Where there are spirits there must be
mixology. A simple colonial cocktail was
rum dropped into cider, known as a Stone
Wall or Stone Fence, says Hirsch.
Flip was the artisanal cocktail of the
day, generally a mix of beer, rum, eggs,
Toasting July Fourth in true colonial fashion
Beer was the drink of the early immigrants. One of the reasons the Mayower landed in
Massachusetts rather than continuing south was because beer was running low.

HOW DOES THE SAN
MATEO COUNTY SUPERIOR
COURT FIT INTO THE CALI-
FORNIA COURT SYSTEM?
The judges and commissioners of
the San Mateo County Superior
Court affect the lives of thou-
sands of local residents annually.
The judges preside over matters
that decide who takes custody of
children after a divorce, who is
evicted, who inherits property
and who goes to jail and, in
doing so, seek to apply the law
fairly to protect individual free-
dom and to promote the welfare
of the people. These local jurists
are some of the more than 2,000
judicial officers of the Superior
Courts of California, about
1,500 Superior Court judges,
assisted by 380 commissioners
and 35 referees. Californias judi-
cial system is one of the largest
court systems in the United
States. But just exactly how is
this court system organized?
As mandated by the California
Constitution, each of the 58
counties in California has a supe-
rior court with jurisdiction to
hear and decide civil or criminal
actions not specially designated
to be heard in some other court or
before a governmental agency.
The superior courts are the lowest
level of state courts in California
holding general jurisdiction on
civil and criminal matters. Above
the Superior Courts are the six
California Courts of Appeal, each
with appellate jurisdiction over
the superior courts within their
districts, and above the Courts of
Appeal is the Supreme Court of
California.
Each countys superior court is
organized to reflect the type and
volume of cases brought to it for
resolution. The San Mateo
County Superior Court has spe-
cialized divisions for different
types of cases, including crimi-
nal, civil, traffic, small claims,
probate, family, juvenile and
complex litigation. The judges
in the appellate division of the
court also hear appeals from deci-
sions of other superior court
judges (or commissioners, or
judges pro tem) on certain types
of matters.
HOW DO LAWYERS
BECOME JUDGES? In order to
become a judge, a lawyer must
have been a member of the State
Bar of California for at least 10
years and either be appointed by
the governor or run for election
against a judge or for a particular
judicial position. A lawyer who
seeks an appointment from the
governor must fill out an exten-
sive application. Most candi-
dates also submit letters of sup-
port from other lawyers, friends,
judges, law school professors
and others who know about the
candidates qualifications. If the
Governors Office thinks the
applicant has sufficient merit, it
forwards the application to the
State Bar of California
Commission on Judicial
Nominees Evaluation, which
solicits additional information
and recommendations from
lawyers and judges who are famil-
iar with the applicant. If the
applicant receives high scores,
the application is resubmitted to
the governor, who then decides
whether to grant the appoint-
ment. The governor will appoint
a new judge when there is a
vacancy at a particular court. In
the alternative, a lawyer may
seek a judicial position by run-
ning for election against a cur-
rent judge or for an open position
on a courts bench. Candidates
for judicial election are usually
evaluated by a committee of the
local bar association. Superior
court judges are elected by each
countys voters to six-year
terms.

always looking for new things to do. I
rightfully or wrongly always thought I
could do anything.
Such an attitude explains many of his
accomplishments. Who else would have
thought a tragic story about a female
boxer (Million Dollar Baby) could be
such a success? Who else would have come
to Iwo Jima to make the World War II
drama Flags of Our Fathers and, out of
curiosity and empathy, opted to also make
a film (Letters from Iwo Jima) about the
other side of the battle field?
And who would have expected the man
a tall, chiseled piece of lumber, a
totem pole with feet, as James Wolcott
called him mythologized as both The
Man With No Name and Dirty Harry would
be taken by the story of the guys behind
Big Girls Dont Cry?
The whole secret in life in any profes-
sion, regardless of whether its entertain-
ment or anything else, is just being inter-
ested, Eastwood says. Are you interest-
ed in life? Are you interested in whats
going on? Are you interested in new kinds
of music?
Eastwood, a piano player and jazz fan,
has long been known for his passion for
music. He made a film about Charlie
Parker (Bird), sung in Paint Your
Wagon and Gran Torino, produced a
documentary on Thelonious Monk
(Straight No Chaser) and has composed
most of his scores over the last decade.
But the falsetto-rich pop confections of
Valli (played by John Lloyd Young, who
originated the role on Broadway) and the
Four Seasons would seem a higher register
than Eastwoods natural pitch.
So many times youd look off to the
wings or even between shots and see him
standing there trying to figure it out for
himself, going (in a high voice)
Ooooo, says Michael Lomenda, who
plays the Four Seasons Nick Massi in the
film.
Though the Jersey Boys sensation on
Broadway immediately brought interest
from Hollywood, earlier adaption
attempts flat-lined before Eastwood
revived it with Warner Bros.
I couldnt understand quite why after
nine years on Broadway, somebody didnt
want to do it, says Eastwood.
Eastwood favored a faithful adaptation
written by the musicals writers, Marshall
Brickman and Rick Elice, and cast veter-
ans of the Broadway and touring produc-
tions over more famous options. Erich
Bergen, who plays songwriter Bob
Gaudio, and Lomenda both come from
touring shows. Vincent Piazzo of HBOs
Boardwalk Empire was the lone out-
sider.
We knew there was no chance in hell it
would be turned into fluff, Young says of
hearing that Eastwood would direct
Jersey Boys.
Instead, Eastwoods film, which opens
Friday, has more melancholy than your
average musical, and gravitates toward the
groups tumultuous offstage personal
lives. Eastwoods famously efficient style
of filmmaking usually just one or two
takes, always on time and under budget
was an education for the actors, most of
them unseasoned in moviemaking.
His fearlessness is somehow conta-
gious, says Piazza. The harmony that
you walk into and the space he creates for
you as an actor is a rare, rare thing.
Though Eastwood may seem like cine-
mas answer to a chunk of Mt. Rushmore,
he has a warm presence and is quick to
smile. He has a habit of pulling taut the
skin of his cheek, as if making age an idle
plaything. He chases a publicist who has
come in to wrap up the interview with a
scowl and a good-natured Get out!
He recently finished shooting the Navy
SEAL drama American Sniper, with
Bradley Cooper, which he calls a love
story and a military story about a guy
whos very talented at shooting people.
Its two films in one year for Eastwood in
what he notes is his 60th year in movies.
Its fashionable to pigeonhole every-
body, he says. Youre 60, youre a sen-
ior. At 60, I felt like I was about 40. At 40,
I felt like I was about 18. Its just all men-
tal attitude.
EASTWOOD
sweet-faced boy of 16 (Young, at 38,
somehow pulls this off) is trying to break
through as a singer while training at a bar-
bershop. Luckily, hes supported by
music-loving mob boss Gyp DeCarlo
(Christopher Walken, in a sure-bet role
here) and loyal buddy Tommy DeVi t o
(Vincent Piazza), who cant stay out of
trouble himself, but through sheer grit
launches the band that will become The
Four Seasons.
The two, plus bassist Nick Massi
(Michael Lomenda) are struggling for
attention when aspiring agent Joey Pesci
(yes, that Joe Pesci) introduces them to
songwriter Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen.)
Gaudios talent is just what they need.
It takes a full hour to get to a big musi-
cal number, and boy, its a welcome relief
to hear the boys sing Sherry, their first
number-one hit.
Other hits follow and all kinds of
trouble. The movie, best when it lets us
simply enjoy these lovely harmonies and
Youngs terrific falsetto stylings, soon
veers back into band infighting. Tommy,
we learn, has landed the boys in serious
financial straits. Heartache ensues.
And what about the women, you ask?
Alas, they begin on the sidelines, and
stay there. As Mary, Frankies wife, Renee
Marino is sexy and smart in the begin-
ning, but turns into a total caricature of a
drunken shrew by mid-movie. Speaking of
caricatures, Frankies yelling-across-the-
table Italian-American family seems a bit
much, too.
On a technical level, the film veers
between creative and oddly mediocre,
namely in a driving sequence that looks
so fake, you wonder if it was intentional.
Theres one striking misstep in tone,
t oo. When Frankie sings My Eyes
Adored You to his school-aged daughter,
you have to wonder if the filmmakers
thought about this prominent lyric, cer-
tainly not meant to be about a child:
Though I never laid a hand on you, my
eyes adored you.
The film, though, comes through at
other moments, mainly those involving
the pure joy of making music that sounds
good. A closing credits sequence is like a
Broadway show of its own (and who does-
nt love to see Walken dancing?) At those
moments, much is forgiven. Sure. Well
stay, just a little bit longer.
Jersey Boys, a Warner Bros. release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for language
throughout. Running time: 134 minutes.
Two and a half stars out of four.
JERSEY
spices, sometimes cream, served warm and
blended by being poured from one pitcher
to another until creamy and silky. To fin-
ish, a hot poker was plunged in, imparting
a charred flavor and creating a froth and
steam on par with todays bartending
pyrotechnics.
Beer was the drink of the early immi-
grants. One of the reasons the Mayflower
landed in Massachusetts rather than con-
tinuing south was because beer was run-
ning low, notes David Sipes, cider maker at
Angry Orchard.
But colonists didnt have much success
raising barley to make beer, so they turned
to apples, which did grow well, and made
hard cider. Alcohol levels were probably
fairly low, in the 4 percent to 5 percent
range, notes Sipes.
Todays ciders are a bit different. Angry
Orchard, for instance, uses a mix of regular
apples, known as culinary apples, and tra-
ditional cider (bittersweet) apples and
clocks in anywhere from 5 to 10 percent
alcohol.
If youre looking for a sparkler to break
open on July 4, Angry Orchard has a new
cider called The Muse, inspired by slightly
sweet sparkling wines, which is made from
apples from Italy and France, comes in a
cork-caged bottle and is just under 8 per-
cent alcohol.
On the hard liquor side, Americans turned
away from rum after the revolution and
domestic whiskey production increased,
says Steve Bashore, manager of trades at
the distillery and gristmill site of Mount
Vernon, Washingtons estate in Virginia.
Most farmers had at least a small still and
some made larger quantities. Washington
got into the business in 1797 when he
returned from the presidency and hired farm
manager, James Anderson, a Scottish
immigrant with extensive distilling expe-
rience.
Washington had all the ingredients for
the whiskey business, including a water-
powered grist mill and cooperage. He
started with two stills in the cooperage,
later built a distillery and by 1799 produc-
tion was 11,000 gallons, likely the largest
U.S. distillery of the time, says Bashore.
An astute businessman, Washington ran
a pretty tight ship at Mount Vernon, says
Bashore and the tradition continues today
with workers at the estate making whiskey
the old-fashioned way in small batches
from grain ground at the mill, all done by
hand, including carrying water by bucket.
The research team worked through the
ledgers from 1798 and 1799 noting the
types of grain delivered to the distillery to
develop the recipes or mash bill for
Washingtons whiskey, which is 60 per-
cent rye, 35 percent corn and 5 percent
malted barley. About half the whiskey is
unaged, or white whiskey, as it would
have been in Washingtons time, and the
rest is barrel-aged, with all bottles avail-
able only through in-person purchase at
the estate.
The latest batch of aged George
Washington Straight Rye Whiskey will go
on sale over the July 4th weekend.

MidPen expects to begin construc-
tion in early December of this year and
open around late spring of 2016,
Merriman said.
Per the councils agreement to sell
the land, the entire project hinged on
MidPen securing $25 million to con-
struct its portion rst, followed by the
assisted living units before the
remainder could be constructed,
Merriman said.
On top of the tax credits, MidPen
was also awarded $2.75 million from
the county for Foster Citys portion of
former redevelopment agency funds
and project-based section 8 vouchers
dispersed by the countys housing
department, Merriman said. Foster
City will also be contributing a $4.75
million loan to be repaid over 55
years.
Seniors who are 62 or older and in
the low- to very low-income bracket
could qualify and those who live or
work in Foster City would be given
priority, Merriman said. The one-bed-
room units are anticipated to range
from about $584 to $1,000 a month,
Merriman said.
MidPens project will also help ful-
ll Foster Citys obligation to pro-
vide a certain amount of housing.
The Association of Bay Area
Governments sets guidelines for the
number of affordable housing units
each city is responsible for provid-
ing. Foster Citys Regional Housing
Needs Allocation is for 430 units by
2022. Fulfilling these obligations
became increasing difcult for cities
after Gov. Jerry Brown dispersed the
states various redevelopment agen-
cies.
Foster City and Half Moon Bay are
the only two cities ahead of their
RHNA obligations, Councilman Art
Kiesel said.
Kiesel said he expects the next time
allocations are issued, Foster City
will continue to fulll its requirement.
However, with the population contin-
uing to grow, Kiesel said he worries if
theyll be able to provide sufcient
affordable housing in the next 15
years.
Mayor Charlie Bronitsky said the
entire project will have a lot to offer
and its exciting to see it progressing,
Bronitsky said.
It allows us to grow and add new
families as those living in the single-
family homes move into the senior
housing. Up to now, we have mostly
had group homes for seniors but, with
this new project, we will have a rst-
class facility for all with the need or
desire, including those who need
affordable alternatives, Bronitsky
wrote in an email.
Councilman Gary Pollard agreed its
great to see action on the site.
Its moving in the right direction
so its very positive to see the fences
up, to see tractors in there getting
work done. Its such a relief to know
that were moving forward with it,
Pollard said.
Merriman said they already have an
interested list but they should be
opening a formal application list
sometime in late 2015. She said they
expect to receive hundreds of appli-
cants, which speaks to the ever-pres-
ent need for affordable housing.
Forty years ago, [MidPen was]
formed in response to the high cost of
living on the Peninsula and we still
nd its an issue that has endured its
relevance, Merriman said. We con-
tinue to see that the jobs-housing
imbalance is exacerbated by this
strong economy. Theres a lot more
jobs and it puts an incredible amount
of pressure on the low supply.

main goals by covering the uninsured.
Fifty-seven percent of the 8 million
people who bought a plan through the
new insurance exchanges were previ-
ously uninsured.
But greater access to coverage has
come at a price thats uncomfortably
steep for many.
Despite the availability of generous
subsidies, 4 in 10 of those who bought
a plan that meets the laws specica-
tions said they had difculty paying
their monthly premiums. Thats a
sobering reality check on assertions
by the Obama administration that cov-
erage is readily affordable.
Overall, employer coverage got
much better ratings in the poll than did
health law plans, which are meant for
self-employed people and workers
without access through their jobs.
The survey looked at several groups
of people in the individual health care
market:
those who bought plans in the new
insurance exchanges.
those who bought plans outside
the exchanges that nonetheless com-
plied with the laws specications.
people who switched from previ-
ous coverage, either because it was
canceled or they found a better deal.
those who were able to keep the
plan that they had before.
Since just the start of this year, the
health law has come to dominate the
individual insurance market.
The poll found that 68 percent of
people purchasing their own coverage
are enrolled in plans that comply with
the laws standards. But those same
consumers are divided about the laws
impact. Roughly similar shares say
have beneted (34 percent) as report
being negatively affected (29 percent).
Among other ndings:
7 in 10 rate their new coverage as
excellent or good. That compares with
85 percent of those covered by
employer plans and 85 percent of
those who kept their previous individ-
ual coverage.
63 percent of those covered by
health law plans said they are con-
dent they will be able to pay for rou-
tine medical care. Enrollees were divid-
ed about paying for a major illness or
accident, with 52 percent expressing
condence and 46 percent saying they
were not too condent or not at all
condent.
Plan switchers, meaning those
who found a better deal or whose previ-
ous coverage was canceled, were divid-
ed on the cost of their new premiums.
Taking into account subsidies, 46 per-
cent said that their premiums are lower
now. But 39 percent reported higher
premiums. Plan switchers were less
likely to be satised with costs, per-
haps because nearly half of them had
their previous plan canceled. The wave
of cancellations last fall was a major
political problem for the White House.
People who bought coverage
through the insurance exchanges were
more likely to be in poor health, a
potentially signicant nding for its
impact on future premiums. Twenty
percent reported their health as fair or
poor, compared with 6 percent of those
who were able to remain in their old
plan.
The survey was based on telephone
interviews conducted from April 3
through May 11, among a nationally
representative random sample of 742
adults ages 18-64 who purchased their
own insurance. The margin of sam-
pling error is plus or minus 4 percent-
age points for results based on the full
sample, 5 percentage points for those
in plans that comply with the health
law, and 6 percentage points for those
in plans bought through the
exchanges.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Major career changes
lie ahead. Take command of your future by staying
informed and in touch with the people and tools that
you need to advance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You have been
dawdling long enough. Let today be the starting point
for all of the alterations and improvements you have
been considering. Its up to you to take the initiative.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) For every step
forward, you will take two steps back. You can save
yourself some aggravation if you put major decisions
on hold while you reassess your plans for the future.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You can lighten
your load if you ask for help. Friends and colleagues
will gladly come to your aid if they know you are
struggling. Put your pride aside.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) The downside of
having a vivid imagination is that ideas may take the
place of action. You know what you want out of life, so
go out and get it. Its time to follow through.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You dont have to be
a professional to enjoy a sporting challenge. Find an
amateur activity that interests you, and test your skills.
Physical tness will improve your mindset.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may stand out
for all the wrong reasons. Play by the rules. Be
extra careful when dealing with authority gures or
government agencies, or discussing legal matters.

entertainment, kids activities and more.
Its a great way to start the summer, said
Jessica Evans, executive director of the
Downtown San Mateo Association.
Saturday is the summer solstice and this
festival is geared towards kids and families.
While there will be lots of other things hap-
pening downtown this summer (like
Concerts in the Park and the Bacon &
Brew), this is the only two-day street festi-
val in San Mateo its a wonderful way to
celebrate with our community.
There are some added touches to the fest
this year too, including an expansion to
North B Street between Baldwin and Tilton
avenues. This block will feature kids activ-
ities and rides. There will also be a kitchen
demo stage with local restaurateurs giving
demonstrations on how to prepare their sig-
nature dishes, free samples included.
The event will have 165 exhibitor booths
selling handmade crafts, art, clothing and
other items, including Bamboo World,
Table of Light Jewelry, Fairies and Feathers,
Kathy Kamei Designs and the Bend Soap
Company. There are two stages the main
stage and the community stage by the tran-
sit center, which will feature local dance and
music. There will be 15 food booths, along
with wine and beer gardens.
In terms of the musical entertainment, the
soul band Con Bio will play the main stage
at B Street and Sixth Avenue noon-1:30
p.m. on Saturday, while the San Mateo
School of Rock will take the community
stage at B Street and Baldwin Avenue 1
p.m.-2 p.m. that day. Jazz artist Dave Costa
will take the main stage noon-1:30 p.m. on
Sunday, while The Afro-Cuban Jazz Cartel
will be on the community stage from 3
p.m.-4 p.m.
For those looking for eats, Maui Wowi
will be serving up smoothies, spring rolls
and pot stickers, while Aroma Concessions
will have crab cakes, barbecue oysters, fried
calamari and other items, while those with a
sweet tooth can head over to Endless
Summer Sweets for funnel cake, kettle corn
and cotton candy.
Evans has high hopes for this years festi-
val and is looking forward to showing those
from outside San Mateo the downtown.
Last year, a lot of the festival attendees
were from outside San Mateo, and it was
such a nice way to show off our community
to the neighbors, she said. I hope visitors
and residents alike nd time to explore our
historic downtown after the festival
theres something for everyone.
The event is free and open to the public. It
takes place on B Street, between Tilton and
Sixth avenues

FEST
Economic Development Association, sug-
gested at an April 2012 meeting that
Redwood City residents through an adviso-
ry vote be asked if the city should scrap the
stagnant Saltworks proposal or continue
waiting for a new plan.
In its decision, the FPPC found that Foust
attempted to use her ofcial position to
inuence a governmental decision in which
she had a nancial interest by proposing
that the City Council place the Saltworks
development project on the November bal-
lot.
Both Cargill Corporation and DMB
Pacic Ventures, the Saltworks project pro-
ponents, were paying dues members of
SAMCEDA. SAMCEDA, minus Foust, also
endorsed DMBs 50-50 Balance Plan for
retail, housing and open space on the for-
mer 1,436-acre Saltworks site just off
Highway 101.
The FPPC could have rejected Fousts set-
tlement and headed to a full administrative
hearing on the alleged violation but instead
accepted the disposition after
Commissioner Gavin Wasserman pulled the
item from the consent agenda to question
the connection between Fousts position
and any reasonable foreseeable nancial
aspect. He also noted that the case might
have had an impact on other actions by
other municipalities. The commission
agreed that if the matter was disputed there
would have been more interesting analysis
but Foust stipulated to the facts.
Foust noted Wassermans comments and
said elected ofcials throughout the state
have jobs like hers that could be questioned
but that dont actually have any nancial
connection. She pointed out that the FPPC
in its decision stated there is no nding that
either she nor SAMCEDA actually ever
nancially beneted.
Foust said the Saltworks item was not on
the agenda and the plan was on hold at the
time she made her suggestion.
The price of democracy for me was
$3,000. It cost me that much to say that the
citizens of Redwood City should have a
vote, Foust said.
A Redwood City resident led the com-
plaint with the FPPC in May 2012 about the
same time Saltworks backers opted not to
submit a new proposal.
The FPPC investigation was Fousts sec-
ond linked to her dual roles as SAMCEDA
head and councilwoman. The FPPC warned
Foust to abstain from Saltworks-related
matters from that point forward. The FPPC
also noted Foust acted on the counsel of
then-city attorney Roy Abrams and issued
her a written warning that future violations
would carry up to $5,000 in nes.
