BORDER PATROL RESCHEDULES FLIGHT PLANS TO CALIFORNIA
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON In a scathing
appraisal, a review ordered by
President Barack Obama of the
troubled Veterans Affairs health
care system concludes that med-
ical care for veterans is beset by
signicant and chronic system
failures, substantially verifying
problems raised by whistle-blow-
ers and internal and congressional
investigators.
A summary of the review by
deputy White House chief of staff
Rob Nabors says the Veterans
Health Administration must be
restructured and that a corrosive
culture has hurt morale and affect-
ed the timeliness of health care.
The review also found that a 14-
day standard for scheduling veter-
ans medical appointments is
unrealistic and that some employ-
ees manipulated the wait times so
they would appear to be shorter.
The review is the latest blister-
ing assessment of the VA in the
wake of reports of patients dying
while waiting for appointments
and of treatment delays in VAfacil-
ities nationwide. The White House
released a summary of the review
following President Barack
Obamas meeting Friday with
Nabors and Acting VA Secretary
Sloan Gibson.
The review offers a series of rec-
ommendations, including a need
for more doctors, nurses and
trained administrative staff. Those
recommendations are likely to
face skepticism among some con-
gressional Republicans who have
blamed the VAs problems on mis-
management, not lack of
resources.

County crop
production
on the rise
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The countys agricultural produc-
tion jumped 2.2 percent the last
year, thanks in large part to a larg-
er haul of Brussels sprouts and fava
beans, but wasnt immune to the
state water shortage.
Certified farmers markets and
direct marketing by honey and egg
producers also kept livestock and
apiary, or bee, products on an
upward climb by 4.8 percent but
nursery and oral industries fell as
several producers shuttered in
2013. Those that didnt close their
doors held steady through the year,
according to the 2013 Agricultural
Crop Report for San Mateo
County.
This annual snapshot of San
Mateo Countys crop production
will be delivered to the Board of
Supervisors Tuesday by
Agricultural Commissioner Fred
Crowder.
The report looks at the values of
the goods but also calculated that
county agriculture contributes
$216 million to the local econo-
my and provides 4,708 jobs. The

This weekend marks the begin-
ning of Ramadan, the Muslim reli-
gious holiday, and Belmonts
Yaseen Foundation is organizing
activities around the holy month.
In Belmont, volunteer Imam
Gomaa G. Abdel-Sadek is helping
lead prayers during the annual
spiritual observance, which is
regarded as one of the Five Pillars
of Islam.
Ramadan is a very special
month for our community, he
said. We look forward to this
month all year because it is the
month in which we should develop
our family and communal ties,
increase our good deeds and
improve our spiritual state.
Abdel-Sadek,
53, has a Ph.D.
and is a poly-
mer and materi-
al scientist at
PowerVision by
day in Belmont.
When he joined
the community
of Belmont in
D e c e m b e r
2010, the Imam
had just left for England so he
began to ll the position volun-
tarily. He hails from Cairo, Egypt,
and has seven children with his
wife, who he commutes to visit in
San Diego every weekend since
his children are nishing school
in Southern California. He says he
enjoys Belmont and the communi-
ty here.
We have a very good relation-
ship here as a community and with
other communities, said Abdel-
Sadek. Other religious leaders get
together and discuss the large
community issues.
During the month of Ramadan,
Yaseen conducts open houses and
invites non-Muslims to explain
things and answer questions.
We are in good communication
with many organizations and we
are part of Peninsula Clergy
Network, he said. Therefore,
there are many ways to send a mes-
sage through.
Fasting for Muslims during
Ramadan typically includes the
increased offering of salat
(prayers) and recitation of the
Ramadan to commence this weekend
Month-long religious observance involves fasting, prayer

A23-year-old Redwood City man serving
life without parole for killing a teen at a
party six years ago will be resentenced and
might receive a shot at eventual release
based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision that
such mandatory sentences for juveniles are
unlawful.
On Friday, Judge Robert Foiles granted
Ricardo Garcia a new sentencing after pros-
ecutors conceded that he is entitled under the
law. A hearing was set for Aug. 29. Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti
said between now and then her ofce will
review the case, Garcias background and
his behavior while in custody to decide if
prosecutors will again seek a term of life in
prison without the possibility of parole.
Garcia was 17 when he fatally shot
Solomone Zarate, 19, on
Sept. 13, 2008, but tried
and convicted in 2010 as
an adult of first-degree
murder with a special
gang allegation that made
him parole ineligible.
However, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled in
the 2012 case Miller v.
Alabama that mandatory
sentences of life without parole are uncon-
stitutional for juveniles convicted of crimes
even if they are tried as adults. The court had
previously made an exception for murder.
Cases of juveniles sentenced as such like
Garcia were sent back to the local courts for
reconsideration using factors like a defen-
dants age, maturity and family life. At his
upcoming sentencing hearing, Foiles is
required to specify why he opts for the term
chosen.
Garcia killed Zarate at the Columbia
Avenue party after jumping into a ght
between his friend and the victim to prove
he was the biggest, baddest member of the
Fair Oaks Park sect of the Norteo gang, the
prosecution contended during trial.
The defense didnt dispute Garcia shot
Zarate but argued it was self-defense.
Garcia testied as the sole defense witness
that he believed Zarate had a gun because his
hand was in his waistband. Zarate called out
Heller Street, his alleged gang, and Garcia
reportedly countered with his affiliation
before shooting twice, then following and
ring three more times.
The defense sought 60 years to life in
prison for Garcia instead of the life without
parole sentence he received.

for attempted murder
Alfonso Suarez-
Prendes, 50, pleaded not
guilty to the April 4
attack and was scheduled
for trial Aug. 18 on that
charge plus kidnapping
and assault with a deadly
weapon.
Suarez-Prendes is accused of wrapping a
towing strap around the neck of an East
Bay hitchhiker who was discovered in San

cle. The woman told police he asked for
sex during their trip and grew angry when

September trial for
driver in fatal crash
The allegedly intoxicated driver of a car
that lost control on Devils Slide and col-
lided with the side of the road on a turn,
killing a passenger, will stand trial for
vehicular manslaughter and driving while
under the influence in the fall.
Ryan James Reisenberger, 24, of El
Cajon, pleaded not guilty to the charges
stemming from the Nov. 23 crash that
injured the two rear passengers and killed
Sanjeev Joshi. He returns to court Sept. 8
for a pretrial conference before facing jury
trial Sept. 29.
Prosecutors say Reisenbergers blood
alcohol level was .12 three hours after the
3:30 a.m. collision and he was driving 80
mph in a 45 mph zone just south of the
tunnels when he spun out of control on a
turn.
The crash closed Highway 1 in both
directions for approximately five hours.
Reisenberger is free from custody on a
$250,000 property bond.
Alleged proprietor of
sex website in FBI custody
The FBI has located one of the alleged
proprietors of a sex listings website who
missed his scheduled appearance in federal
court Friday.
Eric Red Omuro, 53, is now in the cus-
tody of the FBI after he failed to show up
in the courtroom of U.S. Magistrate Judge
Nathanael Cousins at 9:30 a.m. Friday to
identify an attorney and enter a plea,
according to FBI spokesman Peter Lee.
Omuro, a Mountain View resident, was
released from custody Wednesday on a
$500,000 unsecured bond. Judge Cousins
issued a bench warrant for his arrest when
he failed to appear in court Friday morn-
i ng.
Omuro is accused of running the sex list-
ings websites MyRedBook.com and
SFRedBook.com with the assistance of
codefendant Annemarie Lanoce, 40, of
Rocklin.
The websites were seized by the FBI and
U.S. Internal Revenue Service on
Wednesday and Omuro and Lanoce were
arrested.
An indictment unsealed that day accuses
Omuro of using mail and the Internet to
facilitate prostitution and laundering more
than $5 million he took in by running the
site.
Lee said it is up to Judge Cousins to
decide when Omuro will next appear in
court.
San Mateo County Board of
Education appoints new member
At its meeting of June 26, the San
Mateo County Board of Education provi-
sionally appointed Hector Camacho to
represent Trustee Area 3, which encom-
passes the South San Francisco Unified
School District. Camacho replaces
Rhonda Ceccato, who recently resigned
from the board.
Camacho was selected
from four candidates who
applied for the seat.
Camacho graduated from
The Catholic University
of America and earned a
masters and teaching
credential from Stanford
University. Camacho
has nine years of experi-
ence working in public
schools and is currently a high school
guidance counselor and teacher. He served
as a community blogger for the South San
Francisco Patch and was a former volun-
teer for the North Peninsula Neighborhood
Service Center.
Because the appointment is provision-
al, the registered voters of Trustee Area 3
may, within 30 days from the date of the
appointment, can petition for a special
election to fill the vacancy. If a petition
calling for a special election and contain-
ing a sufficient number of signatures is
filed in the office of the San Mateo County
Superintendent of Schools, 101 Twin
Dolphin Drive in Redwood City, not later
than July 25, and found to be valid, the
provisional appointment is set aside and
the seat remains vacant until the Nov. 4
election. Unless a valid petition is filed in
a timely manner, the provisional appoint-
ment shall become effective.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Foster City law student was sentenced
Friday to six months in jail and 90 gam-
bling addiction meetings for attempting to
extort $40,000 from a Belmont business-
man by threatening to expose his advertise-
ments for cross-dressing men with whom to
have sex.
Emmanuel Darabi, 28, must provide the
court proof of attendance at the Gamblers
Anonymous meetings and is prohibited
from gambling or going to such establish-
ments. On top of his six-month jail term,
Darabi must also spend three years on super-
vised probation and repay the victim
$8,553.
Darabi pleaded no contest in April to one
felony count of attempted extortion of the
man who said he didnt know Darabi.
On Jan. 9, the victims grown daughter
found an envelope on her car which was
parked outside her fathers Belmont home.
Inside, she found a Craigslist ad by her
father seeking cross-dressing men for sexu-
al encounters and a note demanding
$40,000 dropped at Central Park in San
Mateo to protect the
secret, according prose-
cutors.
The man acknowledged
his predilection to police
and his family but said it
was always with adults.
Police hid cameras at the
park and saw a man later
identified as Darabi.
When the victim did not
arrive at the park, Darabi
reportedly sent him an angry email.
The victim said $40,000 was too much
and the extortionist agreed to take $15,000
dropped off at the post ofce.
An undercover detective posing as the vic-
tim made the drop in the bushes near the
post ofce and police arrested Darabi when
he picked up the bag. Police reported nding
inside his car papers with the victims con-
tact information.
Darabi said he wanted the money because
of a gambling problem, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Darabi remains free on $25,000 bail until
his July 26 surrender date.

Bridge moved a big step closer to getting an
oft-debated suicide barrier after bridge of-
cials on Friday approved a $76 million fund-
ing package for a net system that would pre-
vent people from jumping to their deaths.
The bridge districts board of directors
voted unanimously in favor of the funding
for a steel suicide net. The funding sources
are $20 million in bridge toll revenue, $49
million in federal money and $7 million
from the state.
Atearful Dana Barks of Napa, who lost his
son, Donovan, to suicide on the bridge in
2008, said after the vote that he was almost
speechless. A lot of people have done so
much incredible work to get this accom-
plished, he said.
He rose from his knees and shared a tearful
embrace with Sue Story of Rocklin, whose
son Jacob jumped off the bridge in 2010.
We did it! Story said. Its no longer the
Bridge of Death anymore.
At least some of the money still requires
additional approval.

Rendering of Californias high-speed rail.
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO The U.S. Department
of Transportation gave its approval Friday
for work to begin on the second leg of
Californias proposed $68 billion high-
speed rail line, endorsing the states envi-
ronmental review for the section running
between Fresno and Bakerseld.
The decision allows the state to begin
acquiring land along the 114-mile route,
although the state is still waiting for
approval from the federal Surface
Transportation Board before it can begin
construction on this segment.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority
asked the board to issue a decision by the
end of the summer.
Fridays announcement was expected, but
it is another sign that were moving in the
right direction, rail authority spokes-
woman Lisa-Marie Alley said.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx
calls it a major step forward for high-
speed rail in the U.S.
All agencies have already signed off on
the rst leg, a 28-mile segment between
Merced and Fresno. But the project has been
slowed by legal hurdles, including a court
ruling that has prevented the state from sell-
ing $8.6 billion in bonds.
State ofcials say they are spending feder-
al money while that decision is appealed,
which includes buying land and doing con-
struction testing.
Earlier this month, the state Legislature
approved Gov. Jerry Browns plan to give
high-speed rail $250 million from the
states pollution fees in the upcoming scal
year. In the future, the project will receive a
quarter of the programs revenue as part of an
effort to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions
in the Central Valley.

U.S. plans to curb
land mines, join global treaty
WASHINGTON After two decades of
waffling, the United States on Friday
announced its intention to join an interna-
tional treaty banning land mines, without
setting a time frame while working through
possible complications on the Korean
Peninsula.
Human rights advocates applauded the
progress, but said the Obama administration
should immediately commit to a ban and
begin destroying its stockpile, while
Republicans accused the president of disre-
garding military leaders who wanted to
maintain land mines in the U.S. arsenal.
The 15-year-old Ottawa Convention
includes 161 nations that have signed on to
prohibit the use, stockpiling, production
and transfer of anti-personnel mines.

WASHINGTON Before a unan-
imous Supreme Court weighed in,
the White House had brushed off
claims that President Barack
Obama was exceeding his execu-
tive authority as just so much
grousing from frustrated partisans.
Then, in a 9-0 decision
Thursday, the high court ruled that
at least in one case Obama had
gone too far.
For Republicans, the courts
decision that Obama violated the
Constitution in 2012 when he
appointed members to the
National Labor Relations Board
without Senate conrmation vali-
dated their argument that Obama
has acted against the law when he
has taken matters into his own
hands.
The courts decision comes
while Obama is determined to use
all his executive powers to get
around the gridlock of a divided
Congress. In the process, he has
left his imprint on policies rang-
ing from immigration to the envi-
ronment, from gay rights to work-
er pay.
This administration has a ten-
dency to abide by laws that it likes
and to disregard those it doesnt,
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell said. Whether its
recess appointments or
Obamacare, this troubling
approach does serious damage to
the rule of law, and the courts deci-
sion is a clear rebuke of the admin-
istrations behavior.
Just this week, House Speaker
John Boehner accused Obama of
aggressive unilateralism and
announced he would seek a vote in
the Republican-controlled House
to authorize an election-year law-
suit asserting that Obama has
failed to carry out the laws passed
by Congress.
The list of grievances against
Obama range from his administra-
tions 2011 decision not to argue
in favor of the 1996 Defense of
Marriage Act before the Supreme
Court to his decision to allow cer-
tain immigrants who entered the
country illegally as children to
obtain work permits.
Court ruling comes as Barack
Obamas use of power tested
TUCSON, Ariz. Mexican law
enforcement on Thursday crossed
into Arizona by helicopter and
fired two shots at U.S. border
agents, a border patrol union
leader says.
A Mexican law enforcement
chopper crossed about 100 yards
north into the Arizona desert, the
U.S. Border Patrol said in a state-
ment. The helicopter then fired
two shots on the Tohono
OOdham Indian Nation, which
sits on the border. Border patrol
union leaders say the Mexicans
red at agents but that none of
them were hurt.
However, Mexican authorities
have denied shooting at agents
and say they were under attack dur-
ing a mission to nd smugglers on
the border.
Tomas Zersn, the director of the
Mexican attorney generals ofce
investigative office, said that
Mexican military and federal
police who were conducting an
operation on a ranch in Altar,
Sonora, were shot at by criminals.
Mexican authorities never fired
any weapons and in fact never
crossed into the U.S. side of the
border, he said.
Art del Cueto, president of the
local border patrol union, said four
agents were in a marked patrol
vehicle when they were shot at.

SAN DIEGO The Border Patrol
announced Friday that it was going
forward with its plans to y Central
American migrants from the Rio
Grande Valley to Southern California
and two Texas border cities to help
relieve what President Barack Obama
has called a humanitarian crisis.
Customs and Border Protection
said in a statement that the agency
plans to transport adults and children
from the Rio Grande Valley to Laredo
and El Paso in Texas and San Diego
and El Centro in Southern
California.
Fridays announcement comes less
than a week after the agency canceled
the California ights. Ofcials
released no further details. It is not
known when the ights would begin
nor how many migrants would be
transported to the state.
Paul Beeson, chief of the Border
Patrols San Diego sector, told the
Associated Press a week ago that the
plan at that time called for two
ights with 140 passengers each.
They were expected to continue
every three days, carrying mostly
families with children and some
adults.
Thousands of Central American
families and unaccompanied children
have been coming to the U.S. in
recent months as they ee violence,
murders and extortion from criminal
gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador and
Honduras. Many of them are under
the impression that they will receive
leniency from U.S. authorities once
they get here. Once the migrants are
processed, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement decides who
can be released while awaiting depor-
tation proceedings.

BAGHDAD Iraqs top Shiite cleric
ratcheted up the pressure Friday on law-
makers to agree on a prime minister before
the newly elected parliament meets next
week, trying to avert months of wrangling
in the face of a Sunni insurgent blitz over
huge tracts in the countrys north and
west.
The United States, meanwhile, started
flying armed drones over Baghdad to pro-
tect American civilians and newly
deployed U.S. military forces in the capi-
tal.
Less than three years after the last
American troops left Iraq, Washington has
found itself being pulled back in by the
stunning offensive spearheaded by the al-
Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant. The onslaught has
triggered the worst crisis in Iraq since the
U.S. withdrawal and sapped public and
international confidence in Shiite
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Many of al-Malikis former allies, and
even key patron Iran, have begun explor-
ing alternatives to replace him. But al-
Maliki, who has governed the country
since 2006, has proven to be a savvy and
hard-nosed politician, and so far he has
shown no willingness to step aside.
Al-Maliki can claim to have a mandate.
He personally won the most votes in April
elections, and his State of Law bloc won
the most seats by far. But he failed to gain
the majority needed to govern alone, leav-
ing him in need of allies to retain his
post.
That has set the stage for what could be
months of arduous coalition negotiations.
After 2010 elections, it took Iraqi politi-
cians nine months to agree on a new prime
minister. Now, unlike four years ago, the
territorial cohesion of Iraq is at stake.
Iraqs top cleric urges quick deal on new PM
Ukraine signs historic EU
pact, snubbing Russia
By John-Thor Dahlburg and Vladimis Isachenkov
BRUSSELS Over Russias objections, Ukraines new
president on Friday signed a free-trade deal binding his coun-
try more closely to Western Europe, sealing the very agree-
ment that triggered the bloodshed and political convulsions
of the past seven months.
Russia, meanwhile, fended off for the time being a new,
more crippling round of Western sanctions over its interven-
tion in Ukraine, where a fragile cease-re between govern-
ment forces and pro-Moscow separatists in the east expired
Friday night but was extended by Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko for three more days.
What a great day! a beaming Poroshenko said in Brussels
upon the signing of the economic agreement with the
European Union. Maybe the most important day for my
country after independence.
Since it became independent in the 1991 Soviet collapse,
Ukraine has been involved in a delicate balancing act
between Russia and the West. The Kremlin wants to keep
Ukraine, the birthplace of Russian statehood and Russian
Orthodox Christianity, in its orbit.
In November, under pressure from Moscow, Ukrainian
President Viktor Yanuknovych spiked the EU pact, trigger-
ing huge protests that drove him from power. Moscow
responded by annexing the mainly Russian-speaking
Crimean Peninsula in March, and pro-Russian separatists
soon rose up in Ukraines eastern provinces.
While Fridays signing marked a defeat for Russian
President Vladimir Putin, who has threatened to cancel trade
preferences for Ukraine, the Kremlin made no immediate
move to punish its neighbor or the two other former Soviet
republics that joined the pact, Moldova and Georgia.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia will take the
necessary measures to protect its markets only when the
agreement takes effect. That will take a few months.
Meanwhile, EU leaders decided not to immediately impose
new sanctions on Russia for the uprising. But they warned
that punitive measures have been drawn up and could be levied
immediately.
Syrian rebels buckling in face of jihadis
BEIRUT The Syrian rebels that the U.S. now wants to
support are in poor shape, on the retreat from the radical al-
Qaida breakaway group that has swept over large parts of
Iraq and Syria, with some rebels giving up the ght. It is not
clear whether the new U.S. promise to arm them will make a
difference.
Some, more hard-line Syrian ghters are bending to the
winds and joining the radicals.
The Obama administration is seeking $500 million to
train and arm what it calls moderate factions among the
rebels, a far larger project than a quiet CIA-led effort in
Jordan that has been training a few hundreds ghters a
month. But U.S. ofcials say it will take a year to get the
new program fully underway. The U.S. also faces the difcult
task of what constitutes a moderate rebel in a movement
dominated by Islamist ideologies.
Opposition activists complain that after long hesitating
to arm the rebellion to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad
their main goal the United States is now enlisting
them against the Islamic State out of its own interests. They
have long argued that the group, which aims to create a rad-
ical Islamic enclave bridging Syria and Iraq, was only able
to gain such power in Syria because more moderate forces
were not given international support.

We must work
together to end tobacco use
Editor,
In 1988, California voters passed
Proposition 99, which imposed a 25
cent tax on every pack of cigarettes
sold in the state. Since then, a por-
tion of those funds has been dedicated
to tobacco use prevention and educa-
tion services in every county. Our
county has a strong history of
advancing campaigns that assist
smokers to quit and protect the health
and well-being of all non-smoking
youth and adults.
Tobacco use is the single most pre-
ventable cause of death in the United
States. Most citizens know this but
we miss the fact that some communi-
ties are at even greater risk of target-
ing by tobacco companies.
African-Americans who smoke lose
an average of 16.3 years of life.
Tobacco-related cancer and cardiovas-
cular disease are the top two causes of
death for Asians and Pacic Islanders.
Latino high school students have the
second highest smoking prevalence
of all high school students. If these
stats werent bad enough, 43.4 per-
cent of our LGBT young adults smoke
compared to just over 10 percent of
their general population peers. These
numbers are beyond unacceptable.
We know that more work needs to
be done to change things around, but
we cant do it alone. We need new
ideas, community insight and dedicat-
ed individuals with specic under-
standings of each of these communi-
ties to help us target our efforts.
Our coalition meets quarterly and all
are welcome to attend. For more
information about our current work,

regulatory issues
Editor,
I read John McDowells column
about the regulatory and paper trail
episode with some interest
(Bureaucratic barriers in the June 14
edition of the Daily Journal). I also
read Michael Obergs letter This
guys a hoot response to this (June
21).
As a 30-year business owner who
employs people to get things done, I
can assure Mr. Oberg that dealing
with downtown is never easy. His
pithy comment that only McDowell,
because he is a Republican, has issues
with these regulators is pure bunk. I
also have noticed how duplicitous
downtown is and how they live with
forms they create and rules they come
up with. Ever changing and non-sen-
sical I might add.
I know that Democrats are supposed
to hate everything Republican. Thats
the rule. And Oberg does not disap-
point in this, as his dutiful lockstep
shows. But there are truths and expe-
riences that transcend his narrow bor-
ing war. I can assure Oberg that these
efdoms and their minions that run
our local governing bodies hold poli-
cies and practices that frustrate right
across the board. McDowell was right
to expose here. It should be stream-
lined! I spend hours each week just
satisfying these public servants so I
can continue to do business and
employ people.
Oberg should take a look at the
county masters parking lot. Afoot-
ball eld sized parking oasis lled
with county issued cars. Looks like
an auto dealership on steroids. Gas
pumps included. The same county
government that tells us, the
unwashed working people who pay
for all this, we must use public trans-
portation, ride-sharing or walk
(bike). We already have seen two con-
victions of these servants stealing
taxpayer gas in a most efcient man-
ner. Just an example of the mind set
we all have to deal with, not just
McDowell.

Letters to the editor
Fresno Bee
S
weet-swinging Tony Gwynn
died a horrible death from oral
cancer, which the Hall of
Famer blamed on years of chewing
tobacco.
He shared that habit with many
other baseball players. The use of
chewing tobacco has shadowed the
national pastime from its begin-
nings. Brands such as Skoal and
Copenhagen became part of the game.
Watching baseball live or on TV
meant seeing players chew and spit
out tobacco juice. While many fans
found it disgusting, you can bet that
many kids wanted to emulate their
heroes.
So this should be another teachable
moment for teenage boys in partic-
ular on the dangers of smokeless
tobacco. While youth use has
decreased by about half since the mid-
1990s, the decline has slowed. Last
year, nearly 15 percent of high
school boys reported using smoke-
less tobacco at least once in the prior
30 days.
It took until 2011 for Major League
Baseball and the players union to
nally do something about the terri-
ble message being sent to young
fans. As part of their labor contract,
limits on smokeless tobacco started
with the 2012 season. Players cannot
have tins in their uniform pockets in
view of fans, or do TV interviews or
team events while using chewing
tobacco. If you watch games now,
youll mostly see players chomping
on bubble gum or spitting out sun-
ower seeds not the most attractive
habits, but at least not deadly ones.
The players union, however, refused
to ban tobacco use on the eld alto-
gether, as sought by advocacy groups
such as the Campaign for Tobacco-
Free Kids. Already, tobacco use is pro-
hibited in the minor leagues and most
levels of amateur baseball.
In Gwynns honor, baseball ought
to reconsider the subject, and it
shouldnt wait until the next labor
negotiations in 2016. In the mean-
time, players ought to think about the
example theyre setting as well as
their own health as they try to break
the addiction.
About three-fourths of oral cancers
are caused by smoking or smokeless
tobacco, which contains 28 carcino-
gens, according to the federal Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
While oral cancer isnt as common as
other cancers, it is among the most
deadly. There are more than 30,000
new cases a year and more than 8,000
deaths. The ve-year survival rate is
only about 50 percent, and many peo-
ple who do make it are disgured.
For much of his 20-year career with
the San Diego Padres before retiring
after the 2001 season, Gwynn had
that pinch of tobacco between cheek
and gum. He was 54 when he died
Monday, despite two surgeries for a
tumor in his right cheek.
Gwynn leaves a remarkable legacy
on the eld and in San Diego. If his
death persuades more young men to
steer clear of smokeless tobacco, his
impact would be all the greater.
Snuff out smokeless tobacco use
All politics is local
By John McDowell
A
ll politics is local was the mantra of
Speaker of the House Tip ONeill. One
meaning is that what affects us most are
local issues and the state and local politicians that decide
them. Simply, our city councilmembers and state assem-
blymembers have more to do with our lives than
President Obama, even though many of us struggle to
name them or describe what they do.
Trafc problems, school boundary changes, unsightly
developments, increased sales taxes and much more are
the purview of state and local ofcials, and not of
Washington and the politicians seen nightly on cable TV.
Those issues directly inuence our families and quality of
life, yet the politicians we can easily name rarely deal
with them.
Thats why its important to elect state and local of-
cials who share our views and values, so that when they
go about their business we can rest assured that they ll
approach issues that come
before them in the same way we
would.
However, if we elect people
we dont know much about, or
who talk moderate in local cof-
fee shops, but vote with special
interests in Sacramento, well
get programs and policies that
negatively affect our quality of
life.
Thats what were getting
with Assembly Bill 60.
Never heard of it? Its the law
passed last year that allows
those in the United States illegally to obtain a California
drivers license. Proponents claimed allowing them to
obtain a license would increase safety since they would
have to take a driving test. Opponents pointed to it as
one more incentive to overstay visas or otherwise cir-
cumvent immigration laws.
However, little of the debate focused on how its imple-
mentation would affect California families. And as you
might guess, its negative.
Ever stood in line at the DMV? Me too, and its not fun.
In the Redwood City ofce, waits can stretch up to two
hours. Now imagine the impact of millions more license
applicants.
Estimates are that there are 2.5 million to 3 million
people in California illegally. The DMV believes that 1.4
million or more will be eligible for the new DP, or driver
privilege card. Will they all apply Jan. 1, 2015? Not
likely, but even so the added volume will be enough to
strain the DMV to the breaking point. Some estimate that
waits will increase to six hours or more.
The DMV does have a plan to deal with this inux of
new applicants, most of whom speak little or no English.
It requires recruiting and training more than 1,000 new
employees and opening ve new facilities across the
state, just for new DP applicants.
The cost of new hires and new facilities to handle the
anticipated ood of applications is $67 million next
year, rising to a total of $141 million in three years, and
more after that. Thats your tax money that could be spent
on schools, roads, health care or any of a number of pri-
orities that could enhance your quality of life.
Bowing to pressure from special interest groups, the
DMV proposes to put the drivers privilege on the back
of the new card rather than the front where drivers
license is now located. Aminor point perhaps, but it
means that Californias DP and DL cards would conict
with the federal REAL ID Act, since TSAagents would
have a hard time recognizing IDs of American citizens.
In two years, if we still have non-compliant California
IDs, we will need a compliant ID as well, like a passport,
to board a plane. Since only about a third of Americans
hold passports, this could cause some real problems. And
dont forget the $110 additional fee to obtain a new pass-
port, just so you can y to visit your family like other
Americans.
AB 60 will signicantly increase overcrowding and
wait times at the DMV, use millions of tax dollars urgent-
ly needed for other priorities and possibly require you to
show a passport if you want to y to Los Angeles. Thats
the result of electing state ofcials who care less about
you and your well-being than they do for that of special
interests.
If you want better outcomes for you and your family,
pay attention to local races and remember, all politics is
local.

Big movers

NEW YORK Summertime settled
into Wall Street on Friday as major
stock indexes drifted slightly higher
going into the weekend. The listless
day of trading left the stock market
with a tiny loss for the week, its sec-
ond this month.
Ahandful of corporate results drove
trading in some big names. Warnings
of weaker earnings pushed DuPont
down, while stronger results pushed
Nike up. But the overall market was
essentially at.
The fact is, its the summer, and
there isnt much happening, said
Jack Ablin, chief investment ofcer at
BMO Private Bank in Chicago.
That could change quickly. Turmoil
in the Middle East could easily rattle
U.S. markets, especially if the ght-
ing in Iraq drives oil prices too high,
Ablin said. Rising tensions between
Ukraine and Russia also remain a con-
cern.
The risk in the summer typically
isnt nancial, its political, he said.
This summer its geopolitical: Iraq
and Ukraine.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
edged up 3.74 points, or 0.2 percent,
to close at 1,960.96. The most widely
used benchmark for stock funds lost
1.91 points for the week, a loss of 0.1
percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 5.71 points, less than 0.1 per-
cent, to close at 16,851.84, while the
Nasdaq composite rose 18.88 points,
or 0.4 percent, to 4,397.93.
Many investors have been waiting
for the market to take a break from its
long climb. The S&P 500 has gained
5.8 percent in three months and
reached its latest all-time high on
June 20, one week ago.
In Friday trading, Micheals
Companies made a minor gain in its
return to the stock market. Bain
Capital and the Blackstone Group,
two private equity rms, bought the
operator of arts and crafts stores in
2006 and returned it to investors in a
$472 million initial public offering.
Much of the money raised in the IPO
will be used to pay down debt. The
companys stock rose 2 cents to
$17.02, just two cents above its IPO
price.

WASHINGTON The United States
wants to restart a cybersecurity working
group that China shut down after the U.S.
indicted five Chinese military officers on
charges of hacking into American compa-
nies computers to steal trade secrets.
Assistant Secretary of State Daniel
Russel told the Associated Press the U.S.
is ready to resume those discussions,
which he described as useful and impor-
tant, if China is. Russel said officials
would raise it at the annual U.S.-China
Security and Economic Dialogue in
Beijing in two weeks. The dialogue will be
attended by Secretary of State John Kerry
and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
After the indictments against the five
officers were unsealed in May, Beijing
pulled the plug on the group. It had been
set up a year ago in what Washington
viewed at the time as a diplomatic coup
after President Barack Obama and Chinas
President Xi Jinping held a summit in
California aiming to set relations between
the two global powers on a positive track.
Those ties have also come under grow-
ing strain because of Chinas assertive
actions in the disputed South and East
China seas. Russel, the top U.S. diplomat
for East Asia, reiterated those concerns in
an interview Thursday, saying the U.S.
views it as essential that China show
greater restraint and use diplomacy to
manage its differences on territorial
issues.
Asian nations, particularly treaty allies
like Japan and the Philippines, look to
the U.S. to counter Chinas increasingly
muscular actions, but some in the region
have voiced doubts about whether the sec-
ond-term Obama administration can fol-
low through on its commitment to focus
on the Asia-Pacific because of its preoccu-
pation with the chaos in the Middle East.
Russel said Asia remains a strategic U.S.
priority, even as Washington considers
some form of military action to combat
the rapid advances of Sunni militants in
Iraq who now straddle the border with
Syria.
The fact that events conspired to
demand high-level U.S. attention in the
Middle East or elsewhere is simply a fact
of life, Russel said. Its always been
thus. The strategic imperative, though,
thats made the Asia-Pacific region a pri-
ority for us in security, economic and
political terms is unaffected by the short-
term demands of crises here and there.
I have no trouble in enlisting Secretary
Kerrys efforts on our agenda in the
region, Russel added, and that applies to
the president and vice president as well.
Kerry and Lew will lead the U.S. delega-
tion at the talks in Beijing, which are an
annual fixture and viewed as important in
forging a more cooperative relationship
with Beijing, notwithstanding current
frictions and Chinas growing challenge
to Americas post-World War II military
predominance in the Asia-Pacific.
The two sides will discuss issues includ-
ing turmoil in the Middle East, North
Koreas nuclear program and cooperation
on climate change, and the U.S. will raise
the issue of human rights. Theyll also
address a slew of economic and trade
issues, including progress on a bilateral
investment treaty that China agreed to
negotiate in earnest at last years talks.
U.S. to ask China to restart cyber working group

WASHINGTON Strong job growth
lifted U.S. consumer condence this
month, as Americans looked past the
economys dismal first quarter per-
formance.
The University of Michigan said
Friday that its index of consumer sen-
timent rose slightly to 82.5 in June
from 81.9 in May. That is still below
Aprils reading of 84.1, which had
been the highest in almost a year.
Confidence has remained largely
unchanged for the past six months,
said Richard Curtin, an economist at
the University of Michigan and direc-
tor of the survey. This was remark-
able given that the economy shrank
in the rst quarter.
Still, the survey was mostly con-
ducted when the government had esti-
mated that the economy contracted at a
1 percent annual rate in the rst quar-
ter. On Wednesday, that estimate was
revised much lower, to show a contrac-
tion of 2.9 percent.
And so far, steady condence hasnt
yet translated into more spending.
Consumer spending rose just 0.2 per-
cent in May after a at reading in
April. Weaker spending suggests
growth wont rebound as strongly as
many economists had hoped. Some
marked down their forecasts for growth
in the second quarter, to roughly 2.5
percent from 3 percent.
Still, there were other positive signs
in the University of Michigans
report. Steady hiring is improving
Americans nances, the survey found.
Forty percent of respondents said their
nances had improved in June, the
most in seven years.
FDA approves inhalable
diabetes drug Afrezza
WASHINGTON The Food and Drug
Administration on Friday approved a
long-delayed inhalable diabetes med-
ication to help patients control their
blood sugar levels during meals.
The FDA cleared MannKind Corp.s
drug Afrezza, a fast-acting form of
insulin, for adults with the most com-
mon form of diabetes that affects more
than 25 million Americans. The
approval decision comes more than
three years after the agency rst asked
MannKind to run additional clinical
studies on the drug.
Diabetes is a chronic condition in
which the body either does not make
enough insulin to break down the
sugar in foods or uses insulin inef-
ciently. It can lead to blindness,
strokes, heart disease or death. In type
2 diabetes, the most common form of
the disease, the body does not use
insulin properly.

Jack Dreyer, 6-8, and twin sister Alexa, 6-3, are a college recruiters dream for football and
volleyball,respectively.Alexa has already verbally committed to UCLA,while Jack already has
13 college scholarship offers.The pair begin their senior years at Serra and Mitty in the fall.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Two are better than one.
That rule of thumb is especially true on
Seville Way, a quiet, tree-lined street in the
upscale Aragon neighborhood in San
Mateo. Thats where the Dreyer twins, Alexa
and Jack, live.
They are prized teen prospects in volley-
ball and football respectively. When you
meet them, you can understand why. Alexa is
a powerful 6-3, 170-pound middle-blocker
who has earned a national reputation; Jack is
a strapping 6-8, 285-pound offensive tackle
whose football potential has only begun to
be tapped.
They are relatively young for their high
school class; they are still 16 years old.
They wont be 17 until July 19. They begin
their senior year in August.
Alexa attends Archbishop Mitty High
School in San Jose. Jack, who has plenty of
time to grow some more, has a much shorter
prep trip, just over a mile south to Serra
High School on West 20th Avenue in San
Mateo.
Its not often that twins of such imposing
stature and accomplishment grace the local
high school athletic scene. Its possible
that the Dreyers, engaging, articulate,
mature and polite, may be the most heavily-
recruited, top-caliber, local twins since the
gifted Ted and Terri Stickles swam for
Hillsdale High School and beyond at a high
international level in the late 1950s and
through much of the 1960s.
Alexa, a member of the U.S. national 16-
under volleyball team a year ago, has already
verbally committed to attend UCLA next
year.
When I visited UCLA, she said recently,
I knew that was the place for me.
Her 3.75 GPAwill t right in there.
She attends Mitty, in large measure,
because of its outstanding volleyball pro-
gram. The Monarchs, coached by Brett
Almazan-Cezar, have captured the past two
Division II California state volleyball
championships, with Alexa as a key con-
tributor in the front row.

BERKELEY California announced a
change in leadership in the athletic program
on Friday, signaling the end of a 10-year run
by athletic director Sandy Barbour that fea-
tured great success in non-revenue sports as
well as recent struggles on and off the eld
for the high-prole football team.
Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said the
department needed a fresh perspective and
said former Cal wrestler Michael Williams
will take over as interim AD while the
school seeks a full-time replacement for
Barbour.
Barbour arrived in 2004 and oversaw 19
team national championships, 92 titles in
individual events, a Pac-10 co-champi-
onship in football, the rst mens basket-
ball conference title in 50 years and the rst
Final Four trip for the womens basketball
team.
When you have the privilege to do some-
thing like this, you think you can do it for-
ever, you want to do it forever, Barbour
said. There comes a time when theres an
intersection of both organizational and per-
sonal that just says its time to nd out
whats next.
Barbour raised the expectations of the
entire program, setting goals of national
and conference championships and Final
Four trips that often were not part of the cul-
ture at Cal.
The school placed in the top 10 of the
Directors Cup six times in her tenure,
including a high of third place in 2010-11.

Vision Volleyball knows all about Groups
of Death.
Entering last years USAV Girls Junior
National Championships, Vision Gold 18
a prestigious Los Gatos-based club team fea-
turing Woodsides Christine Alftin and
Menlos Maddie Huber was one of the
favorites to contend for the national crown.
However, after being grouped in a pool with a
barrage of powerhouse squads such as
Northern Lights, T-Street and eventual gold-
medalists TAV 18 Black, Vision failed to
advance past pool play.
This year, Vision 18 is a team on a mission.
And while the team has once again been
grouped in a tough pool, Vision is the cream
of the crop. With the Junior National tourney
at the Minneapolis Convention Center kick-
ing off June 28 and running through the May
1 championship round, Vision is seeded No. 3
overall in the 28-team eld and is the top-
seeded team in Pool 3.
Its a very tough pool, Vision Gold 18
head coach Jason Manseld said.Looking at
all the pools, I think if its not the toughest,
its one of the two toughest. ... There are a lot
of teams that have a chance to win the whole
thing.
With Alftin and Huber being two of eight
recently graduated seniors on the Vision ros-
ter, this years national championships will
be their swan songs on the club volleyball
circuit. And both brought some serious
momentum into clubs spring season. Each
won top player honors in their respective
leagues; Alftin was named the Peninsula
Athletic Bay Division Player of the Year and
Huber took home the West Bay Athletic
League Foothill Division Most Valuable
Player award.
Now, the two are pivotal to a team looking
to go out with a ourish. Huber is a testament
to just how loaded Vision is. Afulltime six-

SAO PAULO No wonder the
United States is having problems
scoring at the World Cup: The
Americans are hardly attacking.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann is eager
for the U.S. to create more chances
in Tuesdays second-round game
against Belgium.
The U.S. had just 72 attacks during
three group-stage games, according to
FIFA. That ranked 31st among the 32
teams, ahead of only Costa Ricas 69.
The Americans were dead last in
attacks from the left with 21 and
tied for last with Iran with 29 from
the center. Right back Fabian
Johnson seems to be providing
the spark for most forays upeld,
advancing more often than left
back DaMarcus Beasley.
Midelder Graham Zusi insists the
approach and attitude must change if
they are to reach the quarternals for
the rst time since 2002.
The Americans know they have to
surge upeld more often if they hope
to reach a quarternal against
Argentina or Switzerland a lot
more often.
A day after advancing despite a
1-0 loss to Germany in rainy
Recife, they worked out at Sao
Paulo Futebol Clube, where the
temperature on the sunny day
peaked at 81 degrees (27 Celsius),
12 (6 Celsius) above normal.
They plan to y Sunday to
Salvador, another beach city on the
northeast coast for the matchup
against Belgium. The Red Devils,
back in soccers showcase after a 12-
year absence, have won three
straight World Cup games for the
rst time with one-goal victories
over Algeria, Russia and South
Korea. And their 136 attacks are sev-
enth overall and nearly double the
American total.

Pacica Joe DiMaggio is prov-
ing more bulletproof by the day.
Despite two of its best players
not being available Friday,
Pacifica remained undefeated by
downing San Carlos 2-1 in a battle
of unbeatens at Terra Nova.
In a classic pitching duel, left-
hander Beau Eastman went the dis-
tance to improve his record to 5-0.
The southpaw allowed one run on
six hits while striking out six
against no walks.
Derek Azzopardi recorded a com-
plete-game loss for San Carlos,
holding Pacica to four hits.
With center fielder Brett
Berghammer and third baseman
Austin Youngdale out of action due
to preexisting vacation plans,
Pacifica manager Bryan Powers
was forced to get creative with his
lineup. He moved regular outelder
Jacob Martinez to second base and
relied on Steven Sagasty at third.
"I really feel like if we're miss-
ing a couple guys, we have enough
athletes on the team ... that we can
ll it in and pick them up," Powers
said.
Eastman provided the biggest
pickup with his third complete
game of the season.
Coming off a redshirt freshman
season at Butte College, Eastman
has proved a mainstay in the
Pacica rotation after being pro-
moted out of the bullpen. The pro-
motion came by virtue of a request
he made to Powers following a pair
of relief wins early in the season.
"When the season rst started up
... we knew Beau was going to be
out relief guy," Powers said. "But
then he came up to me and said,
'Coach, I want to start.' And I felt
like he deserved it."
While the absent Youngdale
serves as the regular leadoff hitter
for Pacifica, Powers turned to
Anthony Gordon to bat atop the
order. The move paid off immedi-
ately as Pacica got on the board
in the rst inning. Gordon led off
the game with a triple and later
scored to give Pacica a 1-0 lead.
In the fth, Pacica added a crit-
ical insurance run. Jared Milch led
off the inning with a single then
moved to second on a sacrifice
bunt by Ryan Mullany. After a
passed ball moved Milch to third,
Gordon walked. Then, when
Gordon got caught in a rundown
between first and second, San
Carlos made an errant throw allow-
ing Milch to score, giving
Pacica a 2-0 lead.
The insurance run loomed large,
as San Carlos produced a run in the
sixth. Azzopardi notched a triple
and later scored on an RBI single
by Alex Pennes, cutting Pacica's
lead to 2-1.
Eastman would keep San Carlos
in check though, stranding the
potential tying run at rst base in
the seventh to end it.
"He's the type of guy that can
start, relieve and close," Powers
said. "So, he's very versatile for
us."
In his rst foray into ineld duty
of the summer, Martinez drew pos-
itive reviews from Powers.
Martinez even turned a 4-3 double
play in the fourth inning, tagging
the San Carlos runner going by
before throwing to rst in text-
book fashion.
With the win, Pacica improves
its record to 14-0 and is the only
unbeaten team left in the Joe
DiMaggio Peninsula League this
season. With the loss, San Carlos
falls to 11-1.

Scribner solid out of
Sacramento bullpen
While the
Oakland A's are
in contention
for the best
record in base-
ball, their
Triple-A affili-
ate Sacramento
River Cats are
in a similar sit-
uation.
Sacramento entered into play
Friday with the second-best record
in the Pacic Coast League. At 46-
34, the River Cats pace the
Northern Division by 2 1/2 games
over second-place Reno and 6 1/2
games over the third-place Fresno.
River Cats closer Evan Scribner
has been virtually untouchable in
his last four outings. Since June
10, the right-hander hasn't
allowed a run through 5 1/3
innings while striking out 12
against one walk. He has posted a
2-0 record with a save over four
appearances and ranks seventh in
the PCL with 10 saves overall.
Since being claimed off waivers
from the Padres prior to the 2012
season, Scribner has proved a
solid ex-man between Triple-A
and the majors. He hasn't shown a
lot of strikeout stuff with the big
club. However, in three seasons
with the River Cats, he has struck
out 136 through 108 1/3 innings.
Ford bouncing back
with Fresno Grizzlies
It would seem
F r e s n o
Grizzlies out-
fielder Darren
Ford is entirely
healthy after
suffering a
f r i g h t e n i n g
head injury ear-
lier this sea-
son. Ford sus-
tained a concussion after crashing
headrst into an outeld wall in
Salt Lake City.
After returning to action last
month, he hit just .235 through
May. But June has been a different
story. Ford entered into play last
night hitting .385 for June, and
has really turned it on over his last
10 games, hitting at a .448 clip
(13 for 29). He is currently hitting
.324 on the season.
Ford is in his second stint with
the Giants' organization after
being signed as a minor-league
free agent prior to the season.
Former CSM pitcher
makes professional debut
Former College of San Mateo
right-hander Alex Palsha made his
professional debut Thursday for
the New York Mets' rookie-class
afliate in the Gulf Coast League.
Palsha worked one scoreless
inning of relief in the eighth
inning of the Mets' 3-0 loss to the
Cardinals.
Palsha was drafted in the 27th
by the Mets out of Sacramento
State earlier this month, where he
played for Hornets pitching
coach Steve Holm, former catcher
of the San Francisco Giants.
Palsha was quite a workhorse this
year, appearing in 37 games to
pace the Western Athletic
Conference. He was 6-1 with a
1.82 ERAand four saves.
The Danville native is a year
removed from pitching at CSM. As
a starter, he red 77 1/3 innings
for the Bulldogs in 2013.
Paroubeck among
Arizona League leaders
Former Serra star Jordan
Paroubeck has been on fire at the
plate since making his profes-
sional debut June 20. Through
six games, the switch-hitting
leadoff man is 10 for 23 (.435)
and has tabbed three multi-hit
performances with the rookie-
class Padres. His 10 knocks tie
him for third place on the Arizona
League hit list.

MIAMI With the score tied in the ninth
inning, Coco Crisp slid across home plate on
a close play, rose and signaled safe as umpire
Marty Foster indicated out.
A 3 1/2-minute replay review determined
Foster was wrong and Crisp was right.
Thanks to the ruling reversal, Crisp scored
the rst of four runs in the inning off closer
Steve Cishek, and the Oakland Athletics
bounced back after blowing a four-run lead to
beat the Miami Marlins 9-5 on Friday night.
We just go out there and keep battling,
Crisp said.
Josh Reddicks two-out RBI triple tied the
game in the eighth. Crisp singled to start the
ninth against Cishek (4-3) and took second on
Alberto Callaspos single. When Yoenis
Cespedes followed with a single, right elder
Giancarlo Stanton made a strong throw home,
and Crisp was ruled out at the plate.
After the lengthy deliberation, the call was
overturned to give the As a 6-5 lead, and their
dugout erupted in celebration.
Its a huge game-changer, so youre still
going to be pumped up no matter whether its 5
minutes after it or right when it happens,
Reddick said. Fortunately they made the right
call up in New York.
Josh Donaldson hit a sacrice y for his
third RBI, and Stephen Vogt and Reddick fol-
lowed with run-scoring singles.
I felt ne. I just didnt get the job done,
Cishek said. For some reason things just
unraveled. I thought I made good pitches, but
once it got later the pitches stayed up.
Reddick had three of the Athletics 16 hits.
The AL West leaders kept swinging even after
Miami overcame a 4-0 decit against Jesse
Chavez by scoring ve runs in the sixth.
It shows what kind of character we have,
Chavez said. We dont give up even if we do
have a bad inning like that. We dont let it
affect the way the rest of the game is going to
play out. Thats the big key for us and our suc-
cess.
Left elder Cespedes had two hits and threw
out Stanton trying to score from second on a
two-out single in the third. Cespedes leads all
major-league outelders with 10 assists.
Unbelievable throw, manager Bob Melvin
said. Not too many guys make that play, but
weve seen it from him.
Luke Gregerson (2-1) pitched around a one-
out double by Jeff Mathis in a scoreless
eighth. Sean Doolittle had two strikeouts in a
perfect ninth, extending his scoreless streak to
26 1-3 innings, longest in the majors.
Unhumanly thats a good word for it,
Reddick said.
Marlins rookie right-hander Anthony
DeSclafani left the game after three innings
with a bruised right forearm, putting further
strain on a bullpen already taxed by a 14-
inning loss at Philadelphia on Thursday.
DeSclafani was hit in the arm by a line drive
in the rst inning by Brandon Moss that went
for an ineld hit, and his status is day to day.
He allowed two runs in three innings, leaving
him with an ERAof 7.40 after ve career starts.
Oakland catcher Derek Norris left the game
in the fourth inning with lower back tightness.
He said he hopes to rejoin the lineup Sunday.
As rally late to top Marlins
By Rick Eymer
SAN FRANCISCO Billy Hamilton and
Jay Bruce drove in two runs apiece to lead
the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 win over the
San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Johnny Cueto (8-5) pitched a three-hitter
over 8 1-3 innings and the Reds won their
third straight and sixth of seven overall.
Cueto walked two and struck out three,
allowing both runs and raising his majors-
leading ERAfrom 1.86 to 1.88.
Aroldis Chapman got the final two outs
for his 16th save in 17 chances.
The NL West-leading Giants lost for the
13th time in 17 games. Their once com-
manding 9 1/2 game lead has dwindled to
two after losing for the 10th time in 12
home games.
Pinch hitter Tyler Colvin tripled to drive
in the Giants first run in the sixth and later
scored on Pences groundout.
Cueto faced the minimum over the first
four innings. Pablo
Sandoval reached on sec-
ond baseman Brandon
Phillips first error in 70
games and was erased on
a double play in the sec-
ond.
Madison Bumgarner
(9-5) gave up a season-
high five runs on nine
hits, matching his sea-
son high. He walked one and struck out
three.
Bumgarner needed just 53 pitches to get
through four scoreless innings and then
threw 26 in the fifth, allowing all five of
his runs as the Reds sent 10 men to the
plate.
Devin Mesoraco led off with a double,
Brayan Pena grounded out to Bumgarner,
holding Mesoraco at second. Chris Heisey
singled and Zack Cozart singled to score a
run. Cueto followed with a bunt, fielded
cleanly by catcher Buster Posey. He threw
late to third, loading the bases and open-
ing the floodgates.
Hamilton, who had three hits, drove in
two with a single, Todd Frazier, who had
three hits, singled home a run and after
Phillips hit into a fielders choice, Bruce
singled in another run.
Bruce added an RBI single in the seventh
against Yusmeiro Petit.
NOTES: Frazier extended his hitting
streak against the Giants to 14 games.
Right-hander Alfredo Simon (10-3, 2.92)
starts for the Reds on Saturday night. Hes
7-1 in nine starts on the road. Matt Cain
(1-6, 4.82) is scheduled to start for the
Giants on Saturday night. Hes 2-3 in five
outings against the Reds at home.
Bumgarner became the first Giants
pitcher to record two pickoffs in the same
inning since Bud Black did it in May of
1992.
Brandon Belt was hit by a pitch and hit a
home run in his second rehab game in San
Jose.

Knights most productive hitters at net, Huber
has settled into the role of defensive special-
ist. Defense has long been the Princeton-
bound stars forte. And with a Vision team
loaded at net with the likes of Alftin and
Carmen Annevelink both of whom are
committed to Cal and St. Marys-bound
Clare Powers out of Mitty, Huber has
embraced the back row for a red-hot Vision
squad.
I love the role I play, Huber said. I know
passing and defense is very important for us
and I love to give my team every advantage
they get. So, Im just going out and playing
hard every game.
After starting the club season splitting time
at the libero position, Huber has, for the most
part, given way to 5-4 University of San
Diego-commit Lizzy Tardieu. And while it is
her rst year with Vision club, her role on the
Gold 18 squad has been essential.
Maddie is someone who is very important to
our team, Manseld said. I knew she was
going to be a very important piece to what we
wanted to be because of her ball control and
her defense. The matches where weve played
our best, Maddie has been a part of that. ... If
shes playing how shes capable of playing,
were just a better team. So, were looking for
her to do good things.
Vision 18 has done nothing but good
things throughout the season. Playing in
three regional tournaments this year, the team
twice took gold, rst at the Los Angeles
national qualier March 21-23 then again at
the Reno qualier April 25-27. The team pre-
viously took silver in their rst qualifying
tourney in Denver March 14-16. The team
ultimately won the Northern California
Volleyball Association region, topping sec-
ond-place NCVC of Sacramento.
With the teams last game action coming at
the Reno tournament, and with eight gradu-
ates walking the stage in recent weeks, it begs
the question: will the downtime hurt or help?
Its kind of what were used to, Manseld
said. Regionals have [in recent years] been
in early May. So, you just kind of have to deal
with it. You have a month and a half to get cre-
ative. We usually give them the week off after
regionals to rest back up. ... Weve kind of
ramped it up in June and have gone (from two
days of practice to) three days a week.
After the weeks of graduation, Vision took a
team trip to Lake Tahoes Kings Beach in mid-
June to regroup. While they didnt hit the gym
throughout the trip, it wasnt quite a sabbati-
cal. They did take the opportunity to play
plenty of beach volleyball. It was also a
chance to do some team bonding, Manseld
said.
Meanwhile, back in Los Gatos, the team
enlisted some secret weapons on the practice
court.
Weve been very fortunate to where theres
been a lot of alums of Vision coming back,
Manseld said. So its been a lot of fun. Its
just fun for the [current team] to have girls that
theyve looked up to come back and scrim-
mage against them. So, that part is pretty
cool and keeps practices fresh.
Of the alumnae returning in recent weeks
are: Emily Sklar, a third-team All-American at
Duke; Rachel Williams, a recent Stanford grad
and two-time All-Pac 12 honorable mention;
Anne Marie Schmidt and Diane Copenhagen
from USC; and Payton Smith from Brown
University.
The Gold 18 squad is not Visions only
gold-medal hope though. Throughout the 14
divisions at national championships, Vision
is represented by 11 squads: Blue 18, Gold 17,
Gold 16, Blue 16, Gold 15, Blue 15, Gold 14,
Blue 14, Gold 13, and Gold 12.

Indiana to offer
multiyear scholarships
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Indiana plans to
immediately begin guaranteeing four-year
scholarships to athletes and will agree not
to reduce the amount of money students on
partial scholarship receive year to year
based on illness, injury or ability, athletic
director Fred Glass said Friday.
The changes are part of a plan announced
by the school that Glass calls a student-
athlete bill of rights. It will include signi-
cant nancial support to former athletes
who wish to return to nish their degrees and
increased health care commitments, he said.
Glass said in an interview with the
Associated Press that the changes were not
in response to the lawsuit by former UCLA
basketball star Ed OBannon and others over
the NCAAs use of their images in broadcasts
and video games without compensation or
the push by former Northwestern quarter-
back Kain Colter to form the rst union for
college athletes.
Earlier this week, the Big Ten said it sup-
ports guaranteed four-year scholarships and
improved medical coverage for its athletes.
In 2012, NCAA members voted to allow
Division I schools to offer scholarships
guaranteed for more than one year.
The IU plans improved medical coverage,
including paying for physicals for walk-
ons, and covering the full cost of education
with its full scholarships as well as provid-
ing certain NCAA-approved extras, includ-
ing a personal iPad and a blazer for formal
occasions.

Barbour also oversaw the construction of a
new football facility and a major renovation
to Memorial Stadium and made strong hires to
bring on Mike Montgomery as mens basket-
ball coach in 2008 and Gottlieb as womens
basketball coach in 2011.
Montgomery retired after this past season
and was replaced by Cuonzo Martin, who led
Tennessee to the regional seminals in the
NCAAtournament in 2014.
But Barbours tenure was not without its
troubles. The football team struggled in coach
Jeff Tedfords nal years at the school and he
was red after going 3-9 in 2012. Barbour
hired Sonny Dykes as his replacement and the
Golden Bears went 1-11 in his rst season,
failing to beat a single FBS team.
Cal also had the lowest graduation rate for
football players among major conference
teams, according to data released by the NCAA
last fall. The program has shown signicant
improvement of late in its academic perform-
ance after Barbour put more emphasis on aca-
demic support.
Im satised that tremendous efforts have
been made to address these issues here at Cal,
Dirks said.
Dirks said that after several discussions
with Barbour the two decided this was the right
time for a change in leadership.
Given the challenges and opportunities
that lie before us, we believe our university
will benet from leadership that can provide
new energy and a fresh perspective, Dirks
said.
Williams was a collegiate wrestler at Cal and
graduated in 1982 with a degree in economics.
He worked for Barclays Global Investors for
more than 16 years before retiring in 2009. He
currently serves as vice chair of the UC
Berkeley Foundation and is a past chair of the
foundations Campaign Steering Committee.
Williams was also a member of the
Chancellors Task Force on Academics and
Athletics, which will issue a report later this
summer. Williams will not be a candidate for
the full-time job.
Barbour will remain at Cal and set up an aca-
demic program in sports management on cam-
pus.

NL GLANCE AL GLANCE
By Dennis Passa
LONDON A year that started
with another Grand Slam title for
Li Na has turned into a major dis-
appointment.
On a day when top-seeded Novak
Djokovic had a nasty fall late in
his third-round match Friday and
five-time champion Venus
Williams lost, Australian Open
champion Li was eliminated 7-6
(5), 7-6 (5) by Barbora Zahlavova
Strycova in the rst major upset at
Wimbledon.
At the French Open, where she
won her rst Grand Slam in 2011,
Li was beaten by Kristina
Mladenovic of France in the rst
round. The second-seeded Li
looked out of sorts for most of the
Court 1 match Friday and failed to
convert a set point in the second
set.
Williams lost 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5
to 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra
Kvitova. The length of the match
was no surprise the sixth-seed-
ed Kvitova, who broke No. 30
Williams for the rst time in the
last game of the 2 hour, 30-minute
match, had won three of the four
previous matches and all had gone
to three sets.
Zahlavova Strycova called her
win over Li the biggest of her
career. Li won the rst of her two
Grand Slam titles at the French
Open in 2011 and had reached the
quarternals at Wimbledon three
times.
When you go on court you have
to believe in yourself, the 43rd-
ranked Zahlavova Strycova said.
I thought I could do it and I was
pushing myself a lot.
The Czech player thought she
had won the match and went to the
net to shake Lis hand after a fore-
hand was called out. But Li chal-
lenged the call and the ball was
ruled in, continuing the match
until Li double-faulted on match
point.
I was so happy already that the
match is over, and then suddenly
she took the challenge and I had to
get back to my concentration,
Zahlavova Strycova said.
Li Na, Venus out at Wimbledon
By Doug Ferguson
BETHESDA, Md. Tiger Woods
never felt so good after playing so
badly.
Taking two shots to escape a
plugged lie in a bunker put him a
hole. Four straight bogeys on the
back nine Friday in the Quicken
Loans National buried his chances
of making it to the weekend. Over
two rounds at Congressional, he
missed 16 greens and managed to
save par only three times.
Woods was back just not for
very long.
Playing for the rst time in more
than three months because of back
surgery, he had a 4-over 75 on
Friday and missed the cut by four
shots. It was only the 10th time in
his PGA Tour career that Woods
missed a 36-hole cut, and the rst
time he didnt sound overly dis-
tressed.
I hate to say it, but Im really
encouraged by what happened this
week, Woods said. I missed the
cut by four shots thats a lot.
But the fact that what I was able to
do physically, and the speed I had
and the distance that I was hitting
the golf ball again, I had not done
that in a very long time. Felt great
today. Then, as I said, I made so
many little mistakes ... all the lit-
tle things that I know I can x. But
as I said, thats very encouraging.
And it wasnt all that surprising.
Woods had played only four
tournaments this year while cop-
ing with an increasingly sore
back, which led him to have sur-
gery March 31 and miss the rst
two majors. He had hoped to return
for the British Open next month.
Instead, he felt strong enough to
play the Quicken Loans National,
primarily because it benets his
foundation and Woods gured he
needed to get in a little competi-
tion before going to Royal
Liverpool.
Even it if was only two rounds.
I came back four weeks earlier
than we thought I could, Woods
said. I had no setbacks. I got my
feel for playing tournament golf. I
made a ton of simple, little mis-
takes misjudging things and
missing the ball on the wrong
sides and just didnt get up-and-
down on little, simple shots.
Those are the little things I can
correct.

Alexa emphasized that her club team,
Vision Volleyball of Los Gatos, and its

been very instrumental in her success as
well.
Almazan-Cezar said Alexa is one of
Mittys best middle-blockers in some time.
Not many freshmen start at Mitty, he
said. Alexa did. And the fact that shes
going to play in the Pac-12 says a lot.
Because of her relative youth, she may
have some growing left as well, he said.
Jack, the tallest offensive lineman in
Serra history, currently has 13 scholarship
offers in hand. Half the schools in the Pac-
12 are among those interested in his consid-
erable services. His status on the recruiting
charts has been rising quickly this summer.
He hasnt made a decision on his college
selection yet.
I probably wont until the football sea-
son is over, he said. The process has been
a blessing.
He noted that he has not made an initial
contact with any school; all of them have
taken the lead in that regard, testimony to
the young mans intriguing, budding physi-
cal dominance and his eye-popping physi-
cal stature.
Jack, who did not play football until his
freshman year at Serra, credited his high
school coach, Patrick Walsh, with guiding
him to this point. Walsh, who is beginning
his 14th season at Serra, praised his tower-
ing lineman and the progress he is making
and noted that, I believe the sky is the
limit for him.
Alexa said she has been playing volley-
ball since the fth grade. What about bas-
ketball?
Ive been asked to play many times, she
said. But its really hard to juggle basket-
ball and volleyball schedules.
No matter. Her choice was made years ago.
Her volleyball prowess is her ticket to a
free, or reduced-price, higher education.
Jacks 4.25 GPA opens a lot of academ-
ic/athletic doors as well. Ivy League
schools like Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and
Brown continue to pursue him vigorously.
The twins, who attended Baywood
Elementary School and Borel Middle
School, both near their home in San Mateo,
were not unusually big at birth. According
to their parents, Steve and Maia Dreyer,
Alexa and Jack were born prematurely in
1997. The babies weighed 5 pounds each;
they were about 20 inches long.
They spent time in an incubator,
recalled Maia, a Southern Californian from
Manhattan Beach who is 6-3 herself. Steve
is 6-5 and a former basketball player in the
hoops-crazed state of Indiana.
The parents smile and muse about the care
and feeding of their twins not to mention
their 14-year-old daughter, Ashley, a 6-1
student-athlete who will attend and play
volleyball at Menlo School as a freshman
during the upcoming fall semester.
Asked where the family, which moved to
San Mateo in 2000, shops for food, Steve
responded, Costco.
Maia corrected him,.
Yes. And Trader Joes, Safeway and the
rest.
Its not out of the ordinary for the family
to go through more than a gallon-and-a-half
of milk per day. The Dreyer refrigerator is
under near-constant assault on a daily basis.
It was pointed out that Jack, in particular,
tends to graze with regularity. No surprise
there. Hes still lling out his young frame.
And a steady supply of fuel is an absolute
priority.

DREYERS
from around the world and they know the
game and they start inuencing Americans,
Forget said. This generation has the proper
training, a lot more have played at a high
level. They understand the game. Its not
boring to them.
In fact, just the opposite.
Merritt Paulson, who owns the MLS
Portland Timbers franchise that regularly
sells out its 21,000-seat stadium, calls the
burgeoning group of 20-something soccer
fans many having taken their high
school passion into recreational adult
leagues the on-demand generation.
They want what they want, when they
want it and how they want it, Paulson said.
Its that shorter attention span. The fact
that soccer games are two hours, start to n-
ish, win, lose or draw, with very condensed
action, ts very well into the psychograph-
ics of those folks.
In the U.S., soccer is a youth-driven
sport; about 70 percent of core soccer
players those who play 26 or more times
a year are ages 6-17, according to the
most recent numbers from the Sports and
Fitness Industry Association.
These days, instead of leaving the game
after high school, that age group is graduat-
ing into the most vocal segment of fans.
Of the 3.1 million tweets about the U.S.
vs. Ghana game earlier this month, 53 per-
cent of them came from people 18-34,
according to Nielsen Social. And 69 percent
of people checking in on their Facebook
accounts from host cities in Brazil were in
that age group.
Networks and sponsors covet younger
viewers, which helps explain ESPNs deci-
sion to go all-in on World Cup telecasts;
every game has been televised live since
1998. The U.S.-Portugal game last Sunday
drew 24.7 million viewers overall - and the
18.22 million who watched on ESPN were
the most the network has ever garnered for
an event not involving American football.
The Germany game averaged 10.7 million
viewers, making it the third-most watched
World Cup game ever on the network.
Tapping into a populous that has become
more ethnically diverse, the number of U.S
networks televising soccer grew from 11 to
21 and programming hours rose from 2,600
to 3,890 over the last four years - a 43 per-
cent increase that matched the increase in
TV advertising spending (from $266 mil-
lion to $378 million), according to
Nielsen. NBC Sports televises Premier
League games, Fox has the UEFA
Champions League and takes over the World
Cup telecasts starting in 2018.
All in all, its a much different landscape
from the one three decades ago, when the
only regular soccer programming in
America was the reliable PBS stalwart,
Soccer Made In Germany.
For decades, there was this wariness
about soccer within U.S. culture and wari-
ness that affected people at the top, said
Jay Coakley, a professor who examines
sports role in society. Now, that wariness
is disappearing. People at the top are seeing
soccer as a means of marketing their own
interests.
Video games, fantasy leagues, highlight
shows, the steady stream of Ronaldo, Messi
and other stars, both on the eld and in
advertisements, keep the sport in touch
with the American mainstream in a way it
hasnt been before.
Walking down the street now, you see
kids wearing Manchester United jerseys and
Chelsea Football Club jerseys and
Barcelona, and I didnt even know what
those were as a kid, said Mike Helfand, a
42-year-old Chicago attorney who has trav-
eled the globe watching U.S. teams play.
Though Americas major league, the MLS,
has work to do to bring its level up to the
European leagues, the leagues steady
expansion, improving talent level and fan-
friendly pricing will keep the sport on the
radar after the World Cup ends.
Since 2010, the number of adults attend-
ing a big-time soccer match in the United
States has increased by 87 percent.
The farther the U.S. goes in this years
World Cup, the higher than number could
rise over the next four years.
All of which has Forget looking to
expand his soccer-pub business.
Ive had people come to the pub because
a friend dragged them down here, he said.
Theyll spend two hours watching a game
and theyll walk out the door and say, Im
coming back next week. It can be a dening
moment for people. Its very, very different
than what weve been used to here in
America.

Pride of Ownership by Joey Oliva
This weekend, I will be driving a local politician in San Francisco's famed
LGBT Pride Parade down Market Street. As I begin to reect on "Pride" and
the meaning of the word, I am lled with thoughts; some of which I will share.
The word "Pride" brings up so many feelings and I reminded of the "pride" that
I was raised with. Growing up in San Bruno and on the Peninsula, we were a
"proud" group. Our parents worked hard to provide for the family and our
community was one of strength and proud ambition. I appreciate living in an
area where the people take pride in where they live and what they do. For me,
it is what makes a community a successful one.
When conjuring images of pride, I am reminded of my Grandparents, my
family, my home, my friends and my work ethic. Although we celebrate Gay
Pride specically this weekend, with our Bay Area being no exception for that
Pride to ourish, we also celebrate pride of all forms. We have "pride" in what
we own - especially when we purchase that rst home. We have "pride" in our community - especially when the time to come together is needed. We are
proud of our families and brothers and sisters and who they grow up to be and what they do.
This weekend, as onlookers and paraders convene on Market Street in San Francisco, think about your community and the "pride" that owning a home in
your specic area brings to you. I am "proud" of our community, I am proud of our acceptance, and I am extremely proud of the work that all those before
me did so that we can take pride above and beyond their loftiest expectations.
Joey Oliva takes "pride" in being a member of the Family Business.

Quran. Special prayers are offered every
night from 10:15 p.m.-11 p.m. In addition,
Muslims strive to increase efforts to com-
municate with needy people to help them,
he said.
Ramadan is actually a spiritual month
where everyone does his daily activities as
usual, he said. It should not adversely
affect the daily activities and productivity
of people. Special activities in Ramadan
include daily Iftars, which is a small meal
when we break our fast, are served in the
Masjid (mosque).
The fasting, which lasts from dawn to
sunset, can be difficult. There are some
exceptions for those who are sick or preg-
nant. Fasting, for others though, is still an
important part of the month.
Its obedient of God, he said. God pre-
scribed this, so you are obeying. Its also to
feel how the needy and poor are suffering
from the lack of food and life expenses.
In addition, it can enhance and improve
ones attitude, he said.
It leads a person to control himself and
to be honest because you know God is
watching, he said. When you live with
this attitude you will be honest in every-
thing.
The fasting is also considered a good
social event that brings people together, he
said. Healthwise, when one has a month of
fasting, he or she can clean his or her body
and stomach, he added.
Yaseem is holding a Quran memorization
contest on July 26 and winners will be

RAMADAN
The White House released the summary
after Obama returned from a two-day trip to
Minneapolis and promptly ducked into an
Oval Ofce to get an update on the adminis-
trations response to the VA troubles from
Gibson and Nabors.
We know that unacceptable, systemic
problems and cultural issues within our
health system prevent veterans from receiv-
ing timely care, Gibson said in a statement
following the meeting. We can and must
solve these problems as we work to earn
back the trust of veterans.
Rep. Jeff Miller, the Republican chairman
of the House Veterans Affairs Committee,
said the report was a late but welcome
response from the White House and vowed
to work with the administration to x the
system.
It appears the White House has nally
come to terms with the serious and systemic
VAhealth care problems weve been inves-
tigating and documenting for years, he said
in a statement.
The review contains a searing critique of
the Veterans Health Administration, the VA
sub-agency responsible for medical care.
Earlier this week the VAannounced that Dr.
Robert L. Jesse, who has been acting under-
secretary for health and head of the VHA,
was resigning. Jesse has been acting under-
secretary for health since May 16, when
Robert Petzel resigned under pressure
months before he was set to retire.
Nabors report found that the VHA, the
countrys biggest health care system, acts
with little transparency or accountability
and many recommendations to improve care
are slowly implemented or ignored. The
VHA serves nearly 8.8 million veterans a
year in more than 1,700 health care sites.
But the report says concerns raised by the
public, monitors or even VAleadership, the
report said, have been dismissed at the VHA
as exaggerated, unimportant, or will
pass.
Among Nabors other ndings:
As of June 23, the independent Ofce of
Special Counsel, a government investiga-
tive arm, had more than 50 pending cases
that allege threats to patient health or safe-
t y.
One-fourth of all the whistle-blower
cases under review across the federal gov-
ernment come from the VA. The department
encourages discontent and backlash
against employees.
The VAs lack of resources reects trou-
bles in the health care eld as a whole and in
the federal government. But the VAhas been
unable to connect its budget needs to specif-
ic outcomes.
The VA needs to better prepare for
changes in the demographic prole of veter-
ans, including more female veterans, a surge
in mental health needs and a growing num-
ber of older veterans.
Obama asked Nabors to stay at the VA
temporarily to continue to provide assis-
tance.
The White House said that over the past
month, the VAhas contacted 135,000 veter-
ans and scheduled about 182,000 additional
appointments. It has also used more mobile
medical units to attend to veterans awaiting
care.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont inde-
pendent who heads the Senates Veterans
Affairs Committee, said the VAmust restruc-
ture decision-making between its headquar-
ters and its regional officials and that
regional and local ofces can no longer hide
problems when they surface.
No organization the size of VAcan oper-
ate effectively without a high level of trans-
parency and accountability, he said.
Clearly that is not the case now at the VA.
Since reports surfaced of treatment delays

and of patients dying while on waiting
lists, the VA has been the subject of inter-
nal, independent and congressional investi-
gations. The VA has conrmed that dozens
of veterans died while awaiting appoint-
ments at VA facilities in the Phoenix area,
although ofcials say its unclear whether
the delays were the cause of the deaths.
One VAaudit found that 10 percent of vet-
erans seeking medical care at VA hospitals
and clinics have to wait at least 30 days for
an appointment. More than 56,000 veter-
ans have had to wait at least three months
for initial appointments, the report said,
and an additional 46,000 veterans who
asked for appointments over the past decade
never got them.
This week, the independent Office of
Special Counsel concluded there was a trou-
bling pattern of decient patient care at the
Veterans Affairs that VA officials down-
played. Among the ndings were canceled
appointments with no follow up, contami-
nated drinking water and improper handling
of surgical equipment.
REVIEW

Y
ay! Schools done and now we stu-
dents find ourselves with over
eight extra hours every day at
home.
Its called summer, and it can be as event-
ful as it can boring. And that is why I am
here: to give some suggestions on how to
make the most out of your summer at home.
Lets face it: Before school ended, we all
put together these elaborate plans of hang-
ing out at the beach every day and going on
road trips with our
friends. But the reality is
that you and your friends
are probably stuck baby-
sitting, working extra
shifts and entertaining
guests at home. So those
big group events seem to
be slipping from your
grasp. I should know I
was supposed to go on a day trip with my
friends but literally every day that worked
for me didnt work for someone else.
Whenever they got time off work I was
unavailable.
It was a bummer, but it got me thinking.
While we wouldnt trade hanging with
friends for the world, sometimes we have to
learn to entertain ourselves. So I decided to
put together a list of movies and TV shows
to watch, books to read and other things to
do to make my summer as eventful as possi-
ble.
Among this list was to read and watch
The Fault in Our Stars, which I have now
read (it is amazing and horrible at the same
time) and now need to make plans to watch.
I also want to read Khaled Hosseinis And
the Mountains Echoed, which I know Ill
like because he is one of my favorite
authors. I can also cross watch 22 Jump
Street off my list, which I saw this week
and during which I laughed like a maniac.
The Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill duo is
literally the best.
Moreover, we all went through a slight
withdrawal when our favorite TV shows
ended for the season over the past couple of
Summer days

LOS ANGELES Begin Again sees
Irish writer-director John Carney on a larger
canvas, revisiting themes from his lo-
2006 indie hit Once chief among them
the emotional connectivity of music.
Swapping Dublin for New York, and trading
a single couple for a group of people all try-
ing to mend broken bonds or forge new
ones, the touching film again trades in
uncynical heart-on-its-sleeve sentiment,
and deploys a series of gentle ballads, a
number of them performed by star Keira
Knightley.
With Once, Carney tapped into every
shoestring-budget lmmakers dream. Shot
in 17 days for $160,000, the micro-movie
musical became a sleeper hit, grossing $9.5
million domestically, winning an Oscar for
Falling Slowly and becoming a Broadway
show.
With Begin Again, Carney demon-
strates that the disarming emotional candor
and intimacy of the earlier lm were no
uke. He is a wholesale believer in the heal-
ing power of music.
Knightley plays Greta, a Brit hauled up
onstage in a bar to do one of her songs at an
open mic night by her busker friend from
home, Steve (James Corden). The melan-
choly number doesnt exactly wow the
crowd, with the exception of enraptured
drunk music industry A&R veteran Dan
Mulligan (Mark Ruffalo). The film then
rewinds twice to approach the same scene
from different perspectives, revealing the
day from hell that pushed Dan to drown his

David Wains They Came Together iden-
ties the tropes of the romantic comedy
with uncommon acuity. If only it would stop
winking so much.
Wain has made his lm with an enviable
collection of funny people. It stars Paul
Rudd and Amy Poehler as the intractably
drawn together couple, and Wain wrote it
with Wet Hot American Summer co-writer
and fellow The State alum Michael
Showalter. Nearly everyone in the movie,
even in small roles lled by Ed Helms to
Bill Hader, is a comic talent.
Most if not all of the lmmakers and cast
have themselves trafcked in that so-loved,
so-loathed genre including Wains last
movie, Wanderlust. They Came
Together thus feels like a parody party,
thrown by those who know rom-coms from
the inside out.
But in spoong romantic comedies, Wain
has made a lm that can be both hailed and
derided for its nonstop cleverness. They
Came Together is an excellent sketch. It is
a less successful movie.
The lm is framed by the couple Joel
(Rudd) and Molly (Poehler) explaining to
friends (Hader, Ellie Kemper) over dinner
how they met. The clichis come fast and
furious, beginning with their repeated
instance that New York a city that should
feel ashamed of itself for how many cheesy
romances it has fostered is really, truly
its own character in their story.
At repeating this fake witticism, Poehler
mugs for the camera, looking directly into
it, the overriding posture of Wains self-
aware satire.
Molly and Joel are opposites on laugh-
ably extreme ends of commerce. Evoking
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, she has a little
candy store (Upper Sweet Side) so uncon-
cerned with prot that it doesnt even charge
customers. Hes working for the giant cor-
porate monolith Candy Systems &
Research.

sorrows and the series of events that left
Greta miserable in Manhattan.
Separated from his music journo wife
Miriam (Catherine Keener), Dan struggles
to maintain a rapport with their petulant
teenage daughter, Violet (Hailee Steinfeld).
Hes out of touch with how the music biz
works in the digital age, and hasnt brought
in a bankable new act in years, causing him
to be kicked to the curb by Saul (Yasiin Bey,
aka Mos Def), the money side of the indie
record label he founded.
Greta came to New York a few months
back with her songwriting partner and
boyfriend of ve years, Dave Kohl (Adam
Levine). As his success spiraled after one of
his songs was featured in a hit movie, Greta
was cheated on and left behind.
In a scene that appears inuenced by the
progressive layering of instruments over an
acoustic foundation in the lush orchestra-
tions of Once onstage, Dan hears and sees
the potential for enhancement in Gretas
song. Carney appears to be playing with
expectations by setting up a Star is Born
scenario, but thankfully goes in another
direction.
Despite her ambivalence to the proposal
of cutting a demo with him or anyone, and
her eagerness to ee back to England, Greta
sticks around. When Saul passes on funding
the project, Dan hatches a plan to make an
ambient-sound album recorded all over the
city.
Most of the songs are by New Radicals
frontman Gregg Alexander, and their delica-
cy suits the tone of the movie.
Cinematographer Yaron Orbachs visuals
convey a sense of intoxication with New
York City thats enhanced by sharing the
high of making music - in alleyways, on
rooftops, in parks and on subway plat-
forms.
Incorporating some degree of cast
improvisation, Carneys screenplay is not
exactly robust, and the lm feels slightly
padded with mini montages. But theres a
nice ambling quality to the story as Dan
cleans up his act and gets closer to his fam-
i l y, Dave returns from the road eager to
patch things up with Greta, and she and Dan
circle each other with undeclared attraction.
The lms quiet pleasures creep up on you.
Lovely chemistry between Knightley and
Ruffalo enriches their many scenes togeth-
er, while Ruffalo and Keener share different
sparks that suggest the deep residual affec-
tions of an 18-year marriage. In his rst
lm role, Levine keeps the tattoo sleeve
covered but shows the clueless ways in
which Daves edgling rock star ego is an
obstacle to him being reconciled with
Greta.
Begin Again, a Weinstein release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for language. Running time:
104 minutes.

NEW YORK When the bassist turned
filmmaker John Carney was young, a bor-
rowed Walkman played while cycling to
school was an epiphany.
The idea of personalized music was out-
rageous to me, said the Irish writer-direc-
tor in a recent interview. My life changed.
I could now make this journey in an imagi-
native state. You could suddenly be listen-
ing to a Malcolm McLaren song or Grand
Master Flash.
Carneys latest film, Begin Again,
which opens Friday, is a love letter to the
transformative power of music the way
it can chart our lives and provide solace for
trying times. Its an earnest reminder of
the simple majesty of music, even in the
disposable age of iTunes. The original title
was Can a Song Save Your Life? and
theres no doubt as to the films answer.
Its a follow-up of sorts to Carneys
2006 Oscar-winning indie sensation
Once, which chronicles a musical
romance between a Dublin busker and a
recent Ireland immigrant, who join for an
unlikely, uplifting recording session.
Begin Again moves to New York, but it,
too, exudes a heart-on-the-sleeve sincerity
about collaborative music-making and an
abiding affection for street-level authen-
ticity.
Mark Ruffalo stars as a divorced, middle-
aged record executive struggling in the
modern, recalibrated music industry. Hes
grown cynical, furiously tossing CDs out
of his car window, desperate for something
with feeling. He drunkenly stumbles
across it at a Lower East Side club, where
an unknown British singer (Keira
Knightley) bewilders him. He pursues her
and cobbles together a band to back her on
an outdoor album recorded around New
York.
Knightleys character is also lost, hav-
ing come to the U.S. with her musician
boyfriend (Maroon 5 frontman Adam
Levine), only to see his sudden onset of
pop stardom leave her behind.
The mix of disciplines music and
movies is seen throughout Begin
Again. CeeLo Green and Yasiin Bey (also
known as Mos Def) play supporting roles.
Knightley sings despite little previous
experience.
For me, the two things are almost mar-
ried, says Carney of cinema and music.
Carney, 42, was a member of the Irish
band the Frames before turning to direct-
ing their music videos. He also wrote some
of the songs in Begin Again, which
came out of imagining what happened to
A&R guys he saw trolling Dublin in early
90s, looking for the next U2.
Hes sincere, says Ruffalo of Carney.
Hes earnest about his art and his film-
making.
Ruffalo identified with what he calls the
inner unrest reflected in Begin Again, a
movie he said thats about people getting
back to themselves.
Shot in only 24 days, Begin Again was
made with the same lo-fi aesthetic of its
music, which meant working quickly,
improvising dialogue and finding ad hoc
locations.
I was completely out of my comfort
zone, says Knightley. Id never really
been on films where the space isnt safe.
This film was very much like if there was a
street corner where it looked like we might
get away with shooting for a little while,
wed jump out of the van and try to do it
there.
Levine was also trying something differ-
ent acting in a movie for the first time.
As someone who experienced firsthand
what its like to go from an unknown to
enormously famous nearly overnight, he
was uniquely qualified to play a character
who did the same thing.
Having that happen to you is a very
unique and highly unnatural situation to be
put in, Levine says. The things that kind
of went haywire as a result ... its not
going to be a smooth transition.
Thats what connected me to this (char-
acter), Levine says. I saw so much of
myself in him 10 years ago.
Despite the influence of music on
Carneys life, he hasnt personally lis-
tened to it for some time, following the
death of a family member.
Music is too much for me to listen to
because its like an intravenous expression
of emotion, he says. I cant go there.
Music powers rebirth in Begin Again

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Paul Larson

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.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Who Or What Is Gladstone And
Why This Is Important
advertisement
By Mark Kennedy
NEWYORK Who can forget the time
he put a paper bag on his head that read I
AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE? Or when
he was forced to apologize for plagiariz-
ing parts of his short film? He then prom-
ised to retire from public life.
Now, hes been escorted from a
Broadway theater in handcuffs for alleged-
ly yelling obscenities during a perform-
ance of Cabaret. The guy who insisted
hes not famous was heard screaming, Do
you know who I am?
Witnessing Shia LaBeoufs recent off-
screen and offstage antics is getting to be
like watching a slow-moving train wreck.
Has he become the male equivalent of
Amanda Bynes?
Shia LaBeouf is certainly not alone in
displaying unusual behavior and even
immaturity, said Jason Maloni, senior
vice president at Levick, a strategic com-
munications company that guides clients
through challenging media situations.
This is just the latest incident that put
him crossways with an actors most
important constituent his fan base as
well as his fellow professionals.
Maloni added: Bad behavior in a public
setting followed by an arrest doesnt make
for a very effective visual. Frankly, hes
been perp-walked out of Broadway, quite
literally. So hes in some distress.
LaBeouf was watching Alan Cumming
and Michele Williams in a Cabaret
revival on Thursday night when his latest
problems began. The inside of the theater,
which used to be a notorious, coke-fueled
disco in the 1970s, has been reworked to
look like a decadent Berlin cabaret from
the 1930s, with tiny nightclub tables and
a working bar.
LaBeouf, who had paid for his ticket,
was seen offering a strawberry to a woman
and lighting a cigarette. He was also
observed slapping Cummings rear as the
performer walked through the seats to get
onstage. Cumming didnt react.
According to the criminal complaint, a
security guard saw LaBeouf stand up in the
middle of Act 1 and yell loudly at the
actors onstage. When LaBeouf was asked
to leave, he refused, according to the com-
plaint. Do you know who the f--- I am?
Do you know who I am? the actor is said
to have bellowed.
He was charged with five counts of dis-
orderly conduct, criminal trespass and
harassment. His next court date is July 24.
After his court appearance Friday, the 28-
year-old actor, wearing a ripped blue T-
shirt, walked several blocks to a hotel on
West 54th Street. He declined to comment.
His publicist did not return a request for
comment, either.
The outburst happened only a few
blocks from where LaBeouf had planned to
make his Broadway debut last year in a
revival of Lyle Kesslers play Orphans,
with Alec Baldwin. He pulled out over cre-
ative disagreements and then immediately
posted private messages from the shows
actors and creative team.
Now hes accused of disrupting fellow
stage actors while theyre performing.
Perhaps worse, hes become an endless
punchline. Cumming tweeted that the
stage manager at Cabaret told the actors
at the top of Act 2: This is your places
call and Shia LaBeouf has left the building
in handcuffs.
LaBeoufs latest tantrum occurs just as
the film franchise that made him a star
gives birth to its fourth iteration with-
out him. He had been the star of the first
three Transformers films, but a fresh
start was decided best for Age of
Extinction.
LaBeouf, whose other big films include
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull and Wall Street: Money
Never Sleeps, has endeared himself as an
artsy guy who can do action movies. Hes
also prone to refreshing bouts of honesty,
as when he admitted that his Indiana
Jones film was bad. I feel like I dropped
the ball on the legacy that people loved
and cherished, he said after it came out.
But his fan base may dissipate after
more bizarre stunts that resemble the
kinds of things once associated with fel-
low Disney alumna Bynes, who has been
accused of throwing a bong out of a
Manhattan window, starting a fire in a
driveway, reckless driving and posting a
number of disturbing tweets attacking
celebrities like Rihanna and Christine
Teigen.
Maloni, who has counselled artists and
athletes in trouble, said he would advise
LaBeouf to do the same as any of his
clients: He needs a quiet period. He needs
to stop turning up on Page Six and instead
he needs to turn up on the pages of the film
and theater critics of the world.
There is always hope, Maloni said. The
wonderful benefit that a performer has is
you have a tremendous ability to rebuild
your reputation. One has to only look at
Robert Downey Jr. ... I think Shia can do
the same thing.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
22
weeks. Lets be honest: That first week
without your favorite show seemed like
torture. But not to worry I have been try-
ing to keep up on the summer seasons of
shows as well as new shows airing. I start-
ed watching Young and Hungry on ABC
Family. Anyone remember Lily from
Hannah Montana? Well, shes back and I
love her character on the show. Go check it
out if youre into comedy shows. And for
all your drama lovers, Chasing Life is
only a couple of weeks old; it is definitely
worth watching if you ask me. And now for
recurring shows: The Fosters has come
back for its summer season and someone
turned the drama dial into overdrive. But
seriously, the first season was really good,
so I have high hopes for this one as well.
And now for my personal favorite show:
Teen Wolf! It aired its fourth season pre-
miere last Monday and it was amazing!
Spoiler alert: The beginning credits are so
different! And if you are really bored, go
watch the first three seasons. It worked
wonders for my boredom last summer.
Next, I am not sure how many of you this
applies to, but if you are like me and have
a ton of family overseas, it can be easy to
lose touch with them during the school
year for various reasons. So get on
Facebook or WhatsApp or Viber or any
communication medium and let them know
you still exist! And now, this may come as
no surprise to you, but Im going to say it
anyway. Get out more! When we were in
school, just walking up and down campus
made us crave staying indoors at home. But
now, with no reason to change out of your
pajamas all day, it is really easy to just laze
in bed all day. But as amazing as that
sounds, that can just make you feel more
tired and lethargic. If I dont get out of the
house at least twice a day and get some
fresh air, I just feel sleepy. So get out, go
walking, clear your head and feel better!
And finally, try your hand at something
new. Nows the time to take those guitar
lessons you have never had time for. Well,
I think that is it for now. I hope you were
able to get something from this column to
help make your summer a little more event-
ful.

The two are nevertheless attracted to each
other by their common interests (You like
ction books, too? No way!) and soon are
going through the genres motions of run-
ning to bed with a trail of clothes (only to
be found making out fully attired), meeting
the parents (hers are white supremacists)
and having the predictable ght. In the line
of the movie, the relationship is over-dra-
matically declared like rain-proong on a
wooden deck: Finished!
All of this is naturally quite funny, and
especially amid summer blockbusters
the low-budget slapstick of They Came
Together is a cool breeze. Some of Wains
best touches are in the lmmaking: subti-
tles that are sneezed away, blatantly cliched
apartment decor, a ridiculous zoom in on
Rudds face.
But when Wain and Showalter satirized
summer camp movies in Wet Hot American
Summer, they did it with fuller character-
based comedy. Wain, Showalter and
Michael Ian Black (who plays a co-worker
obviously sleeping with Joels pre-Molly
girlfriend) have a long and reliably hyster-
ical history of taking simple premises to
extremes of absurdity. The best scene in
Wanderlust, for example, basically halted
the story for a lengthy scene of Rudd
psyching himself up for sex in front of a
mirror.
But without a baseline for the comedy,
the layers of spoof in They Came
Together dont have the foundation to
carry even a short movie. (The lm is just
83 minutes.) When one of the few primari-
ly dramatic actors in They Came Together
Michael Shannon, type-cast to the max
as a madman let out of jail makes a ery
cameo, the movie gets a jolt.
They Came Together could learn from
him: No matter the movie, the always com-
mitted Shannon would never dare wink at an
audience.
They Came Together, a Lionsgate
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for language and
sexual content. Running time: 83 min-
utes. Two and a half stars out of four.
TOGETHER
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea is
warning that the release of a new American
comedy about a plot to assassinate leader
Kim Jong Un would be an act of war.
If the U.S. government doesnt block the
movies release, it will face stern and
merciless retaliation, an unidentified
spokesman for North Koreas Foreign
Ministry said in state media Wednesday.
He didnt mention the movie by name but
was clearly referring to The Interview,
which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco
as a producer and talk-show host who land
an exclusive interview
with the North Korean
dictator and are then
asked by the CIA t o
assassinate him.
The reckless U.S.
provocative insanity of
mobilizing a gangster
lmmaker to challenge
the Norths leadership is
triggering a gust of
hatred and rage among North Korean peo-
ple and soldiers, the spokesman said, in
typically heated propaganda language.
The lms release would be considered an
act of war that we will
never tolerate, he said.
With no independent
press of its own, North
Korea often holds for-
eign governments
responsible for the con-
tent of their media.
Pyongyang regularly
warns Seoul to prevent
its conservative press
from mocking or criti-
cizing its leadership, something banned
within authoritarian North Korea, where
the Kim family is revered.
Trailers have been released for the
movie, which is set to hit U.S. theaters in
October.
The current leaders late father, Kim Jong
Il, was a noted movie buff, lauded in the
North for writing a treatise on lm. He also
ordered the kidnapping of prolic South
Korean director and producer Shin Sang-ok
in 1978, who then spent years making
movies for Kim before escaping, Shin said.
A spokesman for The Interview studio
Sony Pictures didnt immediately respond
to a request for comment, but the lms co-
writer, co-director and co-star mocked the
controversy on Twitter.

PINK JEEPS ROLL IN RED
ROCK COUNTRY: OFF ROAD
IN SEDONA, ARIZONA.
Stargazing. Hiking. Dining.
Shopping. Finding an energy vor-
tex. Theres a lot to do in Sedona,
Arizona, but one activity is a must
for every visitor: an excursion in
an iconic Pink Jeep. The weather
in high (4,350 feet) desert Sedona
can change dramatically in the
course of a day, but these custom-
modied, heavy duty, four-wheel
drive Jeep Wranglers, congured
to hold up to nine passengers, roll
out like clockwork from the
bustling center of Uptown Sedona,
rain or shine. Savvy visitors wear
layered clothing, but ponchos and
lap rugs are provided. Pink Jeep
drivers specialize in getting their
guests to off-road sites not acces-
sible to ordinary cars. Rides fre-
quently ascend an additional 2,000
feet, rewarding passengers with
spectacular panoramic views that
look down on Sedona and the val-
ley beyond. Various tours allow
access to archeological sites (a
700-year-old Sinaguan cliff
dwelling), add a horseback ride
(meander through chaparral and
vineyards) and, for more rugged
adventure, even involve a bit of
the roller coaster (snake through
the Sidewinder trail and take a
heart-pounding plunge into seem-
ingly vertical gulches). So get in,
buckle up, hold on tight and have
the ride of your life.
PINK JEEP DRIVERS. Pink
Jeep drivers love their work (how
many people get paid to have this
much fun?) and enthusiastically
talk about Sedonas history (it was
named after the wife of the towns
founder), its wildlife (Sedonas
small, stinky, hairy pig-like crea-
ture is a javelina) and its geology
(the famous red color of the bluffs
is due to the oxidation of iron min-
erals in the earth). There is
nowhere more photogenic than
the Red Rock Country and the
drivers know the best places for
souvenir shots. They are happy to
hold your camera to take that I
was there photo with a glorious
backdrop. Seasoned Pink Jeep
driver Randy Michael said: Pink
Jeep guides love to share their
knowledge of Sedona and show
guests an exciting yet safe experi-
ence. Sometimes its hard to tell
who is having more fun, the guide
or the customers. If you are in
Sedona, youve gotta do a Pink
Jeep tour.
PINK JEEP PARTICULARS.
Pink Jeep Tours is located at 204
N. State Route 89A, Sedona, AZ
86336. Information can be found
at pinkjeeptours.com or by call-
ing (800) 873-3662. Day trips
from Sedona to the Grand Canyon
are also available.
SAVOR SEDONA. Sedonas
delicious high desert climate -
cooler than low desert Phoenix -
makes the ideal environment for a
summer escape. Sedona holds an
eclectic concentration of accom-
modations, restaurants and art gal-
leries. Lodging includes plush
resorts with world-class spas, ele-
gant motels and inns, beautiful
cabins in the woods and vintage
motor courts. Tlaquepaque (pro-
nounced Tla-keh-pah-keh),
Sedonas Arts & Crafts Village, is
fashioned after a traditional
Mexican village, with vine cov-
ered stucco walls, cobble-stoned
walkways and arched entryways.
Originally conceived as an artist
community, Tlaquepaque holds
dozens of specialty shops and
exclusive art galleries, offering
Western and eclectic bronze sculp-
ture, functional and traditional
ceramics, blown glass creations,
contemporary and Southwestern
ne art paintings, weavings, deco-
rative arts, architectural dcor
pieces and stunning large format
photography. Learn more at vis-
itsedona.com.
VISIT SEDONA WITH
ROAD SCHOLARS. Road
Scholar, formerly known as
Elderhostel, provides popular pro-
grams to Sedona that combine the
usual pluses of packages tours
with the advantages of travel with
intellectually curious friends. The
Sedona Watercolor and Plein Air
Workshop includes painting eld
trips to Sedonas red cliffs and
strolls through its famed art gal-
leries. Sedona: Hiking in Red
Rock Splendor and Best of
Sedona: Verde Canyon Railway,
Grand Canyon and Montezuma
Castle National Monument seek
out scenic destinations in compa-
ny with experts who discuss
archaeology, ethno-botany, geol-
ogy and even Sedonas lm indus-
try. (At least 76 feature films,
many TV productions and dozens
of commercials have been shot
either in full or in part in the
Greater Sedona area.) For informa-
tion about Road Scholars Sedona

ar.org or call (800) 454-5768.
AND REMEMBER: What
youve done becomes the judge of
what youre going to do - especial-
ly in other peoples minds. When
youre traveling, you are what you
are right there and then. People
dont have your past to hold
against you. No yesterdays on the
road. William Least Heat

School students would be bused to
Orange Park. A total of 60 students
from Alta Loma and Westborough com-
bined would go to after-school pro-
grams in portables on campus, while
12-15 students from each middle
school will be sent to Orange Park.
Im super excited, said Reem
Nasrah, a district parent of three who
was part of a group of parents that ral-
lied for after-school programming. I
dont have any kids who need any
after-school programming, but Ive
been rallying for kids who do need it.
The parents pulled it all together.
This is a really great move forward
for the district, said Trustee Philip
Weise.
Were beginning it for middle
schools because we havent had that
yet, Weise said. I would like to
expand that though; I would like to see
universal, free after-school programs
for middle schools. If we can nd
something to occupy middle school
students after school, it will reduce
crime and enhance educational pro-
gramming.
The district began to explore adding
after-school programs for middle
schoolers after parents approached the
school board looking for more
options. The new Local Control
Funding Formula comes with a Local
Control Accountability Plan that
requires districts to outline how they
plan on spending their funds. Some
would like to see some of that money
go toward establishing an after-care
program in all of the citys middle
schools. At this point, however, there
will be no funding put into the pro-
grams, essentially meaning parents
will fully fund the programs. Some cur-
rently use the after-care programs
offered by the citys Parks and
Recreation Department for their ele-
mentary school students, but there is
no such program for middle schoolers.
Ultimately, the Middle School Out of
School Time Committee formed with
nearly 20 members of the district com-
munity. There were four students, 10
parents, board President Maurice
Goodman and Trustee Patrick Lucy, two
staff members, one program provider
and five additional members in the
audience made up of PTAleadership.
The committee, despite being put
together in less than a week, was very
well representative of our community
and the school sites, Goodman wrote
in an email. I am very pleased with
the committees focus, exibility and
professionalism. From the sixth-, sev-
enth- and eighth-graders to the par-
ents, everyone worked together to
come up with a temporary solution to
an issue that families deal with every
day. Out of school time is great oppor-
tunity for educators to reinforce class-
room teaching and an even greater
opportunity to infuse some fun i n
learning while providing a safe place
for children during a time when they
are most likely to be a victim of neg-
lect, bullying or crime.
In terms of the types of program-
ming offered in the new pilot program,
Weise said the board will probably be
able to have a recommendation for
programming. Personally, he would
like to see keyboarding skills and cod-
ing taught, along with science, histo-
ry, biology, physics, the arts and
things that would spark the imagina-
tion of students.
Meanwhile, other community mem-
bers are ecstatic with the boards deci-
sion.
Were really happy with the results
of the pilot program, said parent and
committee member Maria Vasquez,
who hopes to have her oldest son in
the pilot this fall. It will benet a lot
of kids and were pretty excited about
that.
At this point the district is not put-
ting any funding into the programs,
but will talk about funding for the
vehicles at a special board meeting on
July 1. The committee will continue
meeting and will eventually evaluate
the pilot program, while also looking
for other programs at the end of next
school year to look for a longer term
sustaining program in the 2015-16
school year. The committee has yet to
come up with a recommendation on
how to select students for the pilot,
Vasquez said.

SCHOOL
impact is particularly important on the
coast which has only 12.5 percent of
the population but is responsible for
94.1 percent of the agricultural econo-
my.
While the overall production showed
a gross value of $143,147,000,
Crowders report also noted that live-
stock and eld crops took a hit from
the drought. Livestock showed a 2.3
percent loss but Crowder noted that the
gure doesnt wholly reect that some
producers culled their herds, or
removed them from breeding stock,
because of the water scarcity. The
drought also caused eld crops to pose
a 17 percent decrease in gross value to
$776,000. Despite the struggles,
Crowder wrote in his report that the
countys agriculture producers remain
resilient due to adaptations and
resourcefulness.
As with most years, Brussels sprouts
remain a staple of the countys agricul-
ture production, coming in third on its
list of million-dollar crops. Only ow-
ering and foliage potted plants and
ornamental nursery stock brought in
more revenue. Other top crops included
cut indoor and outdoor owers, forest
products, fava beans, cattle and calves,
leeks and wine grapes.
Although cut owers remain on the
top list, their value decreased 5.7 per-
cent to $21.7 million and indoor oral
and nurse crops lost 2.4 percent. Last
year, they barely eked out a minor
increase of 1.8 percent for the indoor
and 3.7 percent by the outdoor in the
midst of economic instability in the
industry.
On the positive side, favorable
weather conditions also meant for
greater wine grape yields and fruit and
nut crops jumped 35 percent to a value
of $2.7 million.
Last year, the reported crop value
was $140,032,000.
The report also showed that some
things dont change that much in San
Mateo County. Fifty years ago in
1963, the top 10 agricultural com-
modities here included many of the
same crops leading the pack now.
Carnations held the top spot with
$2.31 million in value followed by
Brussels sprouts, flowering potted
plants, miscellaneous vegetables,
ornamental flowers, milk, cattle,
chrysanthemums and strawflowers
rounding out the list.
