Fighting for victims
and their families
FREE
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Small cities in San Mateo County that oper-
ate their own police dispatch services should
consider consolidating with larger cities or the
county to save taxpayer money, according to a
report released by the San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury yesterday.
The report calls on local elected ofcials to
drive the movement toward consolidation but
some ofcials in the smaller cities the grand
jury points to say police dispatch services are
ne just the way they are.
The San Mateo Police Departments dis-
patch center, meanwhile, is a state-of-the-art
facility and police ofcials there are seeking
to expand its role as a regional dispatch serv-
ices provider, according to a statement from
the department.
Although San Mateo Deputy Mayor David
Lim called the grand jury report a good idea
to support, he said consolidation should not
be done just for cost savings.
For me, it is not as simple as money, Lim
said.
His concern is making sure that rst respon-
ders get to their calls in a timely manner.
San Mateos dispatch center can take on
more capacity, Lim said.
Cities that have already consolidated the
service spend on average $11.59 less per 911
call, according to the grand jury report.
Since 2000, the number of police dispatch
centers has been reduced from 22 to 13 and
the grand jury report said elected ofcials
should not be distracted by perceived prob-
lems and pressures to resist change.
Grand jury: Unify police dispatch
Cities that have already consolidated services spend on average $11.59 less per 911 call
Woman in San
Bruno fire dies
from injuries
DAILY JOURNAL WIRE REPORT
A San Bruno woman has died from
injuries she suffered in a house fire that
killed her 2-year-old grandson on Friday
morning, according to the San Mateo
County coroners office.
Lila Prasad, 62, died Sunday at Seton
Medical Center in Daly City. Prasad and her
grandson were found unconscious when
firefighters responded to their burning home
in the 100 block of Lake Drive at 8:45 a.m.
Friday, Deputy Chief Dave Downing said.
The woman was revived and taken to the
hospital, Downing said.
The boy, Aakash Prasad, was declared
dead at the scene.
The cause of the two-alarm fire, which
was extinguished in about 15 minutes,
remains under investigation, though authori-
ties believe it likely started in a shrine that
had been set up in a hallway closet,
Man charged with

An unincorporated Redwood City man is
charged with beating his teenage neighbors
poodle in the head with a brick, leaving the
animal so badly injured it was later eutha-

Prosecutors say Marcos Montano-Topete,

March 26 and told the girl he was sick of the
dog coming onto his property.

A gluten-free diet, whether as a health
requirement or by choice, can have an affect
on the experience of dining out. Certain dish-
es or restaurants may have to be avoided if no
accommodations are available for gluten-free
customers.
San Mateo County has a number of restau-
rants and eateries with options readily avail-
able for these customers, including Ristorante
Mataro, Lilys Creperie and Zest Bakery.
Italians not off the table
Pizza and pasta are staples of Italian cuisine
but both often contain gluten which can be a
challenge for customers who have eliminated
it from their diets.
Ristorante Mataro in Menlo Park offers a
solution to that problem. For the last year and
a half, theyve used gluten-free crust in their
pizzas and offered gluten-free corn fusilli
pasta as a substitution in nearly all of their
pasta dishes.
Manager Ibrahim Ulas, 33, rst proposed
this idea six months after arriving at the
restaurant. Hed previously worked at BJs

Physical education coming
to Redwood City schools
Ten Redwood City elementary schools will
soon offer physical education for students
thanks to a local partnership grant.
Redwood City and its Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department will be
helping to provide physical education pro-
grams to the local youth, in partnership with
Peninsula Community Center which has
received a grant of more than $575,000 from
the Sequoia Healthcare Districts Healthy
Schools Initiative.
Through the grant, 10 Redwood City ele-
mentary schools will be able to provide phys-
ical education classes for students in kinder-
garten through fth grades. As a result, more
students will have access to tness education.
Physical education has been shown to sig-
nicantly contribute to students well-being,
and to their academic success. The majority of
children in California are not physically t,
and in San Mateo County, only 25 percent of
fth graders passed the State Physical Fitness
Assessment Test in 2010. Although the state
mandates 50 minutes of PE per five-day
school week, Redwood City Schools have
been challenged to meet this mandate due to
more than $13 million in budget cuts in the
last ve years.
In response to this need, the Peninsula
Community Center began providing coaches
and PE classes to ve schools in 2009. The
need lled by PCC was well-received, and
with proven success and increased demand
from principals and schools, the program was
expanded and currently serves seven schools.
This new strategic partnership between
Redwood City and PCC will provide the PE+
program, a comprehensive, sequential K-5
curriculum, to approximately 5,000 children.
With this cooperative services model, and the
new support, the program will double the cur-
rent capacity to meet 100 percent of the states
PE requirement to Fair Oaks, Gareld, Hawes,
Hoover, John Gill, Taft, Selby Lane, Henry
Ford and Adelante elementary schools.
We are so grateful to have the PE+ pro-
gram and coaches at our site. They are positive
role models for our youth, said Roosevelt
Elementary School Principal Patricia Girardi.
Probation creates
realignment division
The countys Probation Department is
launching a new special division specically
dedicated to the state realignment of prisoners
and parolees back into local supervision.
The Realignment and Re-entry Division
announced yesterday by Chief Probation
Ofcer Stuart Forrest will supervise more than
600 offenders and included one deputy chief,
one director, one rst-line supervisor, seven
ofcers and three ofce support staff. The
division is funded by the state and addresses
the special needs of the population that would
previously be incarcerated in prison.
Realignment began last year, shifting low-
level offenders from the state in order to reduce
overcrowding and reduce state prison costs.
We have a tremendous opportunity to build
a corrections system that succeeds, Forrest
said in a prepared statement. By succeeds, I
mean that we help offenders turn their lives
around and provide the support they need to
become productive members of our communi-
ty and at the same time making our streets and
our communities safer.
The division will be headed by Deputy Chief
Probation Ofcer Larry Silver, supported by
Director Yvonne Kalber and Probation
Services Manager Jody DiMauro.

By Paul Larson

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

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A California ban on
the sale of foie gras did not stop Karlene Bley
from ordering the duck liver delicacy as she
lunched Tuesday at the posh Presidio Social
Club.
Bley, who was visiting from Los Angeles
and sitting with her son, spoke excitedly.
Ive been waiting three weeks for this, she
said, as a waiter wearing a red tie and blue
striped apron presented the forbidden pate on a
wooden plank. She smeared some of the foie
gras on bread and took a bite.
Fabulous, she pronounced. Absolutely
fabulous. Its creamy, its lovely. Its liver, so of
course its very good for you.
Even though selling foie gras has been ille-
gal since July 1, Californians are nding ways
to keep eating it.
The managers of the Presidio Social Club
contend the law doesnt apply to them because
the restaurant is on land administered by a fed-
eral agency. And across the state, other restau-
rateurs and chefs are using loopholes and
clever wordplay to keep the dish on the market,
a sign that passions run high on both sides of
the issue.
Animal rights activists, meanwhile, say foie
gras is the product of cruelty: ducks or geese
are force-fed with funnel-like tubes until their
livers become engorged. Californias ban
makes it illegal to sell food derived from force-
fed birds.
Bley is not impressed by the states reason-
ing.
Id never think of telling a vegetarian not to
eat a carrot yanked from the ground with its
friends the worms around it, she said.
Chefs at Hots Kitchen in Los Angeles
County and Chez TJ restaurant in Mountain
View, Calif., are serving foie gras as free side
dishes, arguing that the ban does not explicitly
prohibit distribution.
Other establishments, like San Franciscos
Palio dAsti, are offering to have their chefs
prepare any foie gras brought in by customers.
Bley says shes stockpiled livers in her freezer
that a restaurant in Los Angeles cooks for her.
Rob Black, the executive director of the
Golden Gate Restaurant Association, said
these actions reect how the law created an
environment where you dont know whats
legal. It creates confusion what restaurants or
distributers can or cant do.
The attempts to get around the ban have
angered the man who introduced it in 2004,
former state Sen. John Burton.
Shame on them, its the law, Burton said.
Animal control ofcers have investigated
one restaurant in San Francisco and plan to
investigate another for selling foie gras. An
agency representative said the restaurants
exploiting the law have put enforcement in a
bind.
I think the law has some major loopholes,
and we cannot extend the law, said Animal
Care and Control Deputy Director Kat Brown.
Elsewhere in the state, responsibility for
enforcement is unclear. In Los Angeles
County, the Department of Public Health plans
to investigate restaurants that sell foie gras as
part of its health inspections unless told other-
wise, representative Angelo Bellomo said.
But other agencies that could potentially ne
offenders do not have the means to do so.
With budget cuts, this just isnt something
we can add to our plate right now, said Marcia
Mayeda, director of Los Angeles Countys
Department of Animal Care and Control.
Legal experts said the Presidio Social Club
might be on safe legal ground in defying the
ban because courts have held that state regula-
tions generally do not apply to federal proper-
ty. They do not hold sway on Native American
reservations, either.
But some business owners said they will fol-
low the law even if they may not have to,
including restaurants in Yosemite National
Park. Some California casinos on Native
American lands also removed foie gras from
their menus.
We felt like the general publics desire to
have (foie gras) eliminated from menus in
California was more signicant than keeping it
on the menu, said Thunder Valley Casino
spokesman Doug Elmets.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The former nance director and accounting
supervisor of the countys mosquito control
district will stand trial in November on 16
combined counts of embezzlement for alleged-
ly pilfering roughly a half-million dollars,
including the expense of ones legal bills in an
earlier and unrelated theft from an employer.
Joanne Seeney, 62, and Vika Sinipata, 36,
both pleaded not guilty yesterday to all charges
of embezzling public money and set a Nov. 5
jury trial date. The court appearance came a
day before a special district oversight commis-
sion is set to consider dissolving the San Mateo
County Mosquito and Vector Control District
from which they allegedly stole and paved the
way for a county takeover.
During a preliminary hearing, the defense
did not dispute the taking of money but argued
the thefts were one continuous act and should
not be charged as multiple counts for several
incidents.
Seeney worked for the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District under the
name Jo Ann Dearman and at the time already
had been prosecuted in two different embez-
zlement cases, including one in which she ran
up more than a half-million dollars on her
boss credit card.
Prosecutors say Seeney, then district nance
director, and Sinipata, her bookkeeper assis-
tant and accounting supervisor, embezzled the
funds between 2009 and 2011 by giving them-
selves extra pay at a higher pay rate and fraud-
ulent time off, excessively contributed to their
deferred compensation funds, used credit
cards for personal purchases and electronical-
ly transferred money into their own accounts.
The audit reported more than $635,000 was
missing, much of it in the last scal year. The
district contacted the County Counsels Ofce
which in turn handed the matter to the District
Attorneys Ofce which charged them with
stealing more than
$450,000. The districts
numbers might be closer to
the actual loss but prosecu-
tors are only alleging the
amount they can prove.
Seeney was still
employed by the district
when she took medical
leave, claiming she needed
to care for her mother but
in actuality she was serving
two years and eight months
in prison for the two cases.
According to a now-
retired operations director
at the district, Seeney stole
some of the money by
charging to the district per-
sonal needs like water, util-
ities and defense attorneys
representing her in the
other embezzlement case.
The alleged embezzlement came to light
after a board member questioned the balance
in a pesticide account. Since the pairs arrest,
questions into how they allegedly acted with-
out detection led the Local Agency Formation
Commission to speed up its regularly sched-
uled review of its policies, finances and
accountability. LAFCo, a state-mandated,
independent agency that oversees the organi-
zation and boundaries of the countys cities
and special districts, will discuss this after-
noon the recommendation to dissolve the dis-
trict.
Sinipata remains in custody in lieu of
$150,000. Seeney was allowed to post
$250,000 bail after proving the money was not
the product of either that alleged crime or pre-
vious thefts for which she was imprisoned.
They each return to court Sept. 17 for a pretri-
al conference.

to stand trial for embezzlement
The allegedly intoxicated driver whose pas-
senger died after a July 12 crash in Daly City
appeared in court on vehicular manslaughter
charges but did not enter a plea.
Kaixuan Lei, 48, asked for a court-appoint-
ed attorney and returns to court July 18 to
enter a plea to charges of vehicular
manslaughter involving alcohol and driving
while intoxicated. His $250,000 bail was
upheld.
Lei was arrested following the crash after
being treated for his own injuries. The
California Highway Patrol reported Lei was
under the inuence of alcohol and prosecutors
say a test three hours later showed an alcohol
level of .06.
Lei was reportedly driv-
ing a 2000 Jeep Cherokee
northbound on Interstate
280 north of Hickey
Boulevard just before 10
p.m. July 12 when he
crossed over into the left
lanes and ran off the shoul-
der up an embankment.
The vehicle rolled at least
two times and passenger
Christy Fok, 30, was ejected. She died the fol-
lowing morning at the hospital.
Lei and a 31-year-old woman also in the car
were both wearing seat belts and suffered
minor to moderate injuries.
Leis driving speed was estimated as high as
between 85 and 120 miles per hour.

A 59-year-old Millbrae man is facing
up to two years in prison for beating his
parents so severely in March that the
mother required hospitalization and both
were left cut and bruised.
Thomas Louis Trapani pleaded no
contest to two felony counts of causing
pain to an elder in return for the two-
year maximum and consideration of
entry into the Pathways mental health
court program at his Sept. 5 sentencing.
Trapani lives with his 87-year-old
father and 83-year-old mother in
Millbrae. On March 22, according to
prosecutors, the mother returned home
to nd her son seated
in the kitchen and
acting angry. She
reported that while
putting a pie in the
oven, Trapani
grabbed her head
without warning and
beat it against the
wall before throwing
her to the ground.
Her husband report-
edly ran in from the garage at the sound
of her screams and tried to intervene but
was punched himself.
Trapani reportedly chased his father
with a kitchen knife until he knocked it
from his hand then began beating the
older man. Trapanis mother ran to a
neighbor for help and while awaiting the
Sheriffs Office to respond returned
home to nd her son beating his father.
The woman reported grabbing at Trapani
who hit her repeatedly before deputies
arrived.
The mother was hospitalized
overnight and sustained bruises, black
eyes and cuts that did not heal for weeks.
The father had cuts, bruises and back
spasms for weeks, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Trapani remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail while awaiting sentenc-
ing.
Man facing prison for injuring parents
By Christina Hoag
LOS ANGELES California State
University leaders on Tuesday wrestled
with ways to resolve a grim nancial
picture as they approved 10 percent pay
hikes to two new campus presidents.
Executive Vice Chancellor Ben
Quillian told the board that the 23-cam-
pus system faces decits ranging from
$177 million to $427 million for the
2012-13 scal year.
The final amount will depend on
whether voters approve tax increase
measures in November and whether
CSU accepts a tuition buyout deal
offered by the state Legislature.
If voters reject the tax measures, CSU
would lose $250 million in funding.
Meanwhile, if CSU accepts the buyout,
it would lose $132 million in revenue
from a 9 percent tuition increase this fall
in return for an extra $125 million in
funds for 2013-14.
Chancellor Charles Reed said accept-
ing the deal would create an adminis-
trative nightmare because about
300,000 of the systems 430,000 stu-
dents have already paid their fall tuition.
The university could offer tuition
credit instead of refunds, if trustees
decide to roll back the fee hike, he said.
Reed noted the system stands to
immediately gain $132 million from the
tuition increase.
Its not the greatest deal in the
world, he said.
Even without those factors, CSU faces
a $130 million structural decit caused
by $750 million in funding cuts since
2007-08, as well as $47 million in
increased health and pension costs,
Assistant Vice Chancellor Robert
Turnage said.
We still have a $130 million nut to
crack no matter what happens with the
tax measures, he said.
Turnage outlined a series of options to
close the deficits, including tuition
increases, layoffs, enrollment cuts and
employee pay reductions.
The board took no action on nances
on Tuesday. It is slated to decide on a
budget plan at its September meeting.
However, it approved salaries for four
new campus presidents, two of whom
were given the maximum raises of 10
percent, or $29,000, over the outgoing
presidents salaries.

Brown signs law aimed
at cutting textbook costs
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill
intended to help lower the cost of textbooks for college stu-
dents.
The Democratic governor announced Tuesday that he signed
SB1539 by Sen. Ellen Corbett, which requires publishers of
higher education textbooks to tell professors and buyers about
the differences in new versions compared with previous ones.
Corbett, a Democrat representing San Leandro, says having
this information will let professors and students know whether
they really need to buy an expensive new edition of a textbook
or could use a previous edition or another book.
Textbook publishers must also tell professors and buyers
about other products they offer on the same topic.

Sixty-year-old multiple offender faces
prison for stealing $19 worth of liquor
A 60-year-old San Bruno man with a criminal record going
back to the 1960s could have faced 25 years to life in prison for
stealing $19.83 worth of alcohol under Californias three strikes
law, according to the district attorney.
Frederick Howell Kennedy on Monday pleaded no contest to
the Feb. 13 robbery, the most recent of nearly a dozen non-vio-
lent convictions on Kennedys record going back to 1968,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffe said his ofce carefully reviewed the case and used
its discretion to drop a prior strike offense and reduce the max-
imum recommended sentence to four years in prison.
Wagstaffe called Kennedy an alcoholic who was clearly
down on his luck, and said that his crime did not merit a 25-
year-to-life sentence.
On the day of the robbery, a manager at La Dora Liquors and
Deli on San Bruno Avenue witnessed Kennedy steal four cans
of Four Loko beer and a bottle of E&J Brandy and walk out of
the store, Wagstaffe said.
When a clerk confronted him outside, Kennedy clenched his
st and swung at him before running away, prosecutors said.
Police tracked Kennedy down a short-time later and took him
into custody. The man broke into tears, called his crime stu-
pid and said he needed help to stop drinking, prosecutors said.
Wagstaffe said that if Kennedy enrolls in a substance abuse
program before his sentencing on Sept. 4, Judge Mark Forcum
has the discretion to lower the defendants prison term below
the four years he agreed to in Mondays plea deal.
Kennedy remains in custody on $250,000 bail.
Twenty-four-year-old man killed
in fiery crash Monday identified
A man who was killed in a ery crash in Half Moon Bay on

Patrick Poleski, the Santa Clara County medical examiners
ofce said.
The Sacramento resident was driving a 1991 Honda Civic
when he crashed into a 2000 Honda Passport that was parked in
the 400 block of Kelly Avenue at about 3:25 a.m., the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce said.
Poleskis vehicle burst into ames, and he was pulled from
the burning vehicle by nearby residents.

IRWIN, Pa. A ery Mitt Romney
on Tuesday accused President Barack
Obama of believing the government is
more vital to a thriving economy than
the nations workers and dreamers,
scrambling to get back on message by
declaring of Obama, Im convinced he
wants Americans to be ashamed of suc-
cess.
The new Romney approach came as
Democrats pressed for the release of
more of Romneys tax returns and
hounded the Republican candidate over
discrepancies in when he left his private
equity rm. The conservative magazine
National Review urged Romney to
release more of his tax records.
Obama has been trying to keep
Romney focused on matters other than
the sluggish economy, even releasing a
single-shot TV ad Tuesday that suggests
Romney gamed the system so well that
he may not have paid any taxes at all for
years.
As the campaigns tenor grew combat-
ive, Romney seized on comments
Obama uttered while campaigning in
Virginia last week. The president, mak-
ing a point about the supportive role
government plays in building the nation,
said in part: Somebody helped to create
this unbelievable American system that
we have that allowed you to thrive.
Somebody invested in roads and bridges.
If youve got a business, you didnt build
that. Somebody else made that happen.
Obama later added: The point is, is
that when we succeed, we succeed
because of our individual initiative, but
also because we do things together.
The challenger pounced.
To say that Steve Jobs didnt build
Apple, that Henry Ford didnt build Ford
Motors, that Papa John didnt build Papa
John Pizza ... To say something like that,
its not just foolishness, Romney said
from a campaign rally outside
Pittsburgh. Its insulting to every entre-
preneur, every innovator in America.
Romney added: I tell you this. Im
convinced that he wants Americans to be
ashamed of success.
The Obama campaign said Romney
had distorted Obamas message by tak-
ing him out of context. Obamas intend-
ed point one he made again in Texas
on Tuesday was that government
plays a role in helping people and busi-
nesses succeed by building roads, hiring
teachers and reghters, and looking out
for the public good.
Romney: Obama casts shame on success
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON U.S. states face
long-term budget burdens that are
already limiting their ability to pay for
basic services such as law enforcement,
local schools and transportation, a report
released Tuesday said.
Aging populations and rising health
care costs are inating Medicaid and
pension expenses. At the same time, rev-
enue from sales and gas taxes is shrink-
ing. And grants from the federal govern-
ment, which provide about a third of
state revenue, are likely to shrink, the
report said.
Those challenges are made worse by a
lack of planning by many states and the
repeated use of one-time accounting
gimmicks to cut costs, the report added.
The report was issued by the State
Budget Crisis Task Force, a non-prot
co-chaired by former Federal Reserve
Chairman Paul Volcker and former New
York Lieutenant Governor Richard
Ravitch. It focused on six states that
encompass about a third of the U.S. pop-
ulation: California, Illinois, New Jersey,
New York, Texas, and Virginia.
The states nancial problems arent
just a result of the recession and slow
recovery, the report said. They have built
up over years.
Increased spending on health care and
pensions are crowding out other funding.
Many states have already cut spending
on public universities and infrastructure
such as roads and public transit, Ravitch
said at a press conference Tuesday.
California has cut its spending on state
universities 12.5 percent in the past ve
years, the report said. South Carolina has
reduced its support 30 percent in that
period, the deepest cuts in the country.
Florida and Iowa have cut higher educa-
tion spending about 25 percent.
All that is making it harder for poorer
Americans to attend college, Ravitch
said.
That does not augur well for eco-
nomic growth in the future, he said.
Diminished aid from states has pushed
up tuition. Concerns are rising that some
leading public universities, such as the
universities of Michigan and Virginia,
are moving toward de facto privatiza-
tion with high fees that effectively
exclude many highly qualied lower
income students, the report said.

Despite protests, Boy Scouts reaffirm ban on gays
NEW YORK After a condential two-year review, the
Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reafrmed its
policy of excluding gays, angering critics who hoped that
relentless protest campaigns might lead to change.
The Scouts cited support from parents as a key reason for
keeping the policy and expressed hope that the prolonged
debate over it might now subside. Bitter reactions from gay-
rights activists suggested that result was unlikely.
The Scouts national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The
Associated Press that an 11-member special committee,
formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, came to the
conclusion that the exclusion policy is absolutely the best pol-
icy for the 102-year-old organization.
Smith said the committee, comprised of professional scout
executives and adult volunteers, was unanimous in its conclu-
sion preserving a long-standing policy that was upheld by
the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and has remained controver-
sial ever since.
As a result of the committees decision, the Scouts national
executive board will take no further action on a resolution sub-
mitted at its recent national conference asking for reconsidera-
tion of the membership policy.
The Scouts chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, contended that
most Scout families support the policy, which applies to both
adult leaders and Scouts.
Delta passenger thought needle was a toothpick
MINNEAPOLIS Jim Tonjes was high above North
America when he bit into a hot turkey sandwich aboard a Delta
Air Lines ight and felt a sudden jab in his mouth.
Glancing down, he noticed what looked like a sewing needle
in the food. Another passenger on the plane reported the same
thing.
At rst, he thought a toothpick meant to hold the sandwich
together had punctured the roof of his mouth. When he pulled
it out, it was a straight needle, about one inch long, with sharp
points on both ends.
Now U.S. and European authorities are trying to determine
how the needles got into meals served on at least four Delta
ights from Amsterdam to the U.S. and why anyone would
place them there.
We are keeping all options open because at this moment,
we have no idea why somebody or something put needles
inside the sandwiches, said Robert van Kapel, a spokesman
for Amsterdams Schiphol airport.
Arizona immigration law
opponents file new offensive
PHOENIX Opponents of Arizonas hardline immigration
enforcement law launched a new effort Tuesday aimed at
thwarting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that will allow police to
enforce the so-called show me your papers provision.
A coalition of civil rights groups, religious leaders and busi-
ness organizations led a new request seeking a court order
that would prevent authorities from enforcing a rule that
requires police to check the immigration status of people they
stop for other reasons.
The groups are asking U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton to
block enforcement of the requirement before it takes effect,
arguing that Latinos in Arizona would face systematic racial
proling and unreasonably long detentions under the con-
tentious section of the 2010 law.

BEIRUT Syrian government forces
attacked rebels with helicopter gunships
in the heart of Damascus on Tuesday,
escalating a campaign to crush their
opponents as clashes spread to new
areas, illustrating the rebels growing
reach.
Cracks of gunfire and explosions
echoed inside the capital for a third day,
including a reght near the countrys
parliament, in an unprecedented chal-
lenge to government rule in President
Bashar Assads seat of power.
Neighboring Iraq called on its citizens
living in Syria to return home, as the
ghting overshadowed another round of
diplomatic maneuvering to end the civil
war, with special envoy Ko Annan in
Moscow in an attempt to rescue his fal-
tering peace plan.
Plumes of gray smoke billowed over
the Damascus skyline and helicopter
gunships strafed the area, activists said
a sign the regime is growing desper-
ate to push the rebels away from the
heavily-guarded capital.
Terried families ed the city or said
they were prepared to leave at a
moments notice. Residents said they
were packing getaway bags in case
they had to run for their lives.
My bag has my familys passports,
our university degrees, some cash and
medicine, a 57-year-old father of two
told the Associated Press, asking that his
name not be used for fear of reprisals. It
is very hard to imagine leaving your
home and everything you worked to get,
but its a matter of life and death.
Clashes were concentrated in the
neighborhoods of Kfar Souseh, Nahr
Aisha, Midan and Qadam a mixture
of lower- and middle-to-upper-class dis-
tricts in the citys southwest where street
battles first erupted Sunday. Heavy
clashes were also reported in Qaboun, a
neighborhood in northeast Damascus.
The streets are completely empty, the
shops are closed. People are terried of
whats next, said Omar Qabouni, an
activist in Qaboun. He said eight people
were killed Tuesday in mortar and tank
shelling by government forces. He esti-
mated that about 300 rebels were taking
part in the ghting.
Activists and residents said the ght-
ing also reached new areas Tuesday,
with brief reghts erupting in Sabeh
Bahrat Square, Baghdad Street and
Sahet Arnous in downtown Damascus,
about 400 yards (meters) from the
Syrian parliament.
The clashes broke up quickly as the
rebels ed, but were a signicant indica-
tor of the rapidly spreading violence and
the deep reach of the rebels as they
become more confident and better
armed.

PYONGYANG, North Korea North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been
granted the title of marshal, state media
reported Wednesday, cementing his sta-
tus as the authoritarian nations top mil-
itary ofcial as he makes key changes to
the million-man force.
The decision to award Kim, who
already serves as supreme commander
of the Korean Peoples Army, was made
Tuesday by the nations top military,
government and political ofcials, state
media said in a special bulletin.
The formal move to bestow the title of
marshal to Kim comes seven months
into his rule and fol-
lows several days of
reshuffling at the
highest levels of the
military.
On Monday, North
Korea announced
that the chief of the
army, Ri Yong Ho, a
high-ranking figure
in both political and
military circles, was dismissed from all
posts due to illness. The following day, a
little-known general, Hyon Yong Chol,
was promoted to vice marshal, one of
four named to that position since Kim
Jong Un took power.
The dismissal of Ri, who had been
promoted to vice marshal in 2010 and
had been seen as a mentor to Kim Jong
Un, was a surprise to many outside
observers.
Kim Jong Un took over as North
Koreas leader following the death of his
father, longtime leader Kim Jong Il, in
December, and has continued to main-
tain his fathers policy of songun, or
military rst.
The position of marshal had been left
vacant following the death of Kim Jong
Il, who posthumously was made grand
marshal the nations top military title
in February on what would have been
his 70th birthday.

OPINION 9
Blessed lopsidedness
Editor,
In the letter to the editor Did I say
that? in the July 14 edition of the
Daily Journal, Christopher Conway
wants an apology for my response
(God bless what America? in the July
7 edition of the Daily Journal) to his
rather twisted attack on my letter
Negative externalities on society in
the June 11 edition of the Daily
Journal. My main point was that dereg-
ulation leads to the ultimate cruel
irony which is that babies born with
birth defects due to environmental
problems caused by industrial negli-
gence are denied medical care due to
pre-existing conditions. I followed this
point by writing, Is that really the kind
of society we want? I certainly hope
not. With his objection, Conway
seems to think so.
In his letter to the editor God bless
America in the June 14 edition of the
Daily Journal, he claims that I dont
like America and that In America
you are either a net contributor to soci-
ety or a net taker. Since he argues
with my original letter, he obviously
denes net takers as the sick, poor
and most vulnerable, meaning that even
the young born with diseases and
defects due to industrial pollution
should be responsible for their own
fate, not those businesses that caused
the environmental destruction in the
rst place. What else could it be?
Thats what lead to my question: God
bless what America?
Instead of hating America, as he so
frivolously claims, I love and respect
an America with compassion for the
less fortunate, where the weakest arent
victimized by the greedy. Instead of an
America Conway blesses for being
lopsided, a healthy nation, where
everyone has a fair chance for a pro-
ductive, happy life is in everybodys
best interest. Thats not taking from
the rich. Thats enriching the whole
nation. Instead of me owing Mr.
Conway an apology, he should apolo-
gize to those less fortunate he calls
takers.

From its headwaters high in
Yosemite, the Tuolumne courses 162
miles through pristine alpine meadows,
wild mountain canyons, oak-studded
foothills and Central Valley farmlands
before joining the San Joaquin River
and then owing into the San Francisco
Bay-Delta. It is the lifeblood of com-
munities from the Sierras to the sea,
connecting the y sher in Yosemite to
the farmer in Modesto to the thirsty
family in the Bay Area to the salmon
sherman in the Pacic. The River pro-
vides world-class recreational opportu-
nities, critical habitat for sh and
wildlife and electricity and water for
2.5 million people in the Bay Area.
Today, 60 percent of the Tuolumne is
diverted for urban and agricultural uses,
and our dependence has come at a cost.
The salmon population has plummeted
from historic highs of more than
130,000 sh per year to less than 1,000
in ve of the last six years. Water quali-
ty in the lower Tuolumne is now listed
as impaired.
The good news is that the Bay Area
has done a great job at conserving
water over the past few years. So good,
in fact, that many ratepayers are asking
why the cost of water is increasing
when water use is declining. The
answer is that 80
percent of the
increases go to pay-
ing for necessary
seismic upgrades to
the Hetch Hetchy
water system, while
20 percent go to
covering xed costs
incurred even when
water use declines. Unfortunately,
theres not much we can do about these
rate changes.
However, there is a potential rate
increase on the horizon that is unneces-
sary and avoidable. The San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission, which
provides water to customers in San
Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and
Alameda Counties, is negotiating a
water transfer (purchase) of 2 million
gallons per day from the Modesto
Irrigation District at a cost of more than
$1.5 million per year. This sale was ini-
tiated in 2008 when we were using
more than 250 million gallons daily.
Last year that gure dropped to less
than 220 million.
The contract would be take-or-pay,
meaning we would be obligated to pay
$1.5 million per year whether we used
the water or not. This is a terrible
investment for water we no longer
need.
A recent SFPUC report acknowl-
edged that while the cost of transfer
water would be about $2,100 per mil-
lion gallons, the actual cost of water
used (since it would only be needed
every three to ve years, according to
old demand projections) would be
about $7,400 per million gallons. Water
conservation, on the other hand, is dra-
matically cheaper.
Instead of spending more than $1.5
million per year on water we dont
need, we should pursue affordable
alternatives such as water conservation.
For example, cities and water agencies
could adopt programs that promote
landscape irrigation efciency, reducing
water use by 20 percent to 40 percent.
It costs about $5,000 to install and
operate a smart commercial irrigation
controller, including hardware, turnkey
installation, 10 years of weather data
and Internet services. Each controller
could save 200,000 gallons of water per
year. Therefore, for the $1.5 million
cost of the water transfer we could
install 300 controllers, saving about 60
million gallons per day. In 12 years, we
would conserve an amount of water
equivalent to the water transfer at a
fraction of the cost. These savings
would be permanent.
Paying $1.5 million per year for
water we no longer need makes no
sense and would further outrage
ratepayers. Fortunately, theres still
time for our elected representatives to
choose a different path. Do you know
where your city councilmembers stand
on this issue? Are they even aware its
being considered?
Please contact your elected represen-
tatives and encourage them to stand up
for you as a ratepayer. You can express
your concerns to the SFPUC by visiting

Saving money and a river
Independence Day?
T
here is no better way for America to meet its
challenges at home and abroad than by being
realistic, by remaining faithful to truth, but not
living with illusions and by working to perfect an imperfect
society. Hayes Johnson, Sleepwalking Through
History.
The Fourth of July, the day
Americans celebrate freedom
and independence, has come
and gone. Its great to cele-
brate on July Fourth but how
many just mindlessly waved
flags or reveled in the fire-
works without giving consid-
eration to how they celebrate
those rights the rest of the
year? We are fortunate to live
in a country where most of
us are able to carry on our
lives in the way we choose
but many have no clue about
the responsibility that goes along with freedom. They are
also oblivious to the paradox of how we are supposed to be
free and independent and yet are, in a great many cases,
just pawns of the powers that be.
With the presidential election coming up in November,
more Americans need to become aware of politicians
promises, falsehoods and sleazy rhetoric. We must be more
skeptical, more aware of how we are being manipulated,
how corporate interests are taking control in so many ways
especially influencing our politicians. For instance, its
very disturbing to realize how so many voters were swayed
by the hype and falsehoods spread by the tobacco industry
in relation to Proposition 29. Early on it looked like the
proposition would pass easily since so many were for it,
however, as time went on, enough voters fell for the
aggressive ad campaign that made up a story about where
the money was going to go. Big tobacco spent almost $47
million to defeat the tax which, it has been reported, would
have raised about $810 million a year for cancer research
and anti-smoking programs. The fact that so many voters
can be convinced by unscrupulous corporations and politi-
cians to go along with their hype bodes ill for any election.
As Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in his new book, The Price
of Inequality: Real democracy is more than the right to
vote once every two to four years. The choices have to be
meaningful. The politicians have to listen to the voices of
the citizens. But increasingly it seems that the political
system is more akin to one dollar one vote than to one
person one vote. Its a sad fact that we cannot believe
anything our politicians say because its all for political
expedience and they are so often manipulated by special
interests who are contributing big bucks to their campaigns.
As individuals, if we want to celebrate what
Independence Day stands for, we will for instance:
1. Keep informed about current events, educate ourselves
about their significance, let our legislators in on our opin-
ions and vote.
2. Learn to separate myth from reality and deception
from truth.
3. Refuse to march to the drum of corporate interests that
are increasingly taking control of our politicians and deter-
mining our destiny.
4. Wake up to the fact that certain narcissistic legislators
are bent on turning our government into a plutocracy.
5. Work to overturn Citizens United.
To accomplish this transformation of our society from a
narcissistic culture to a socially responsible and caring one,
we ourselves must become the leaders of a value revolution
that does not aim to disrupt and divide our culture, but to
strengthen and unify it. Maxine Schnall, Limits.
What has happened to liberty and justice for all? The
external authority the oppressor from which we declared
our independence those many years ago has taken on a
new identity. It has shifted to an internal parasite nourished
by indifference, ignorance, lack of awareness and self-
indulgence. We have to be aware of those who threaten our
freedom not just other nations but our political and cor-
porate leaders. We have to celebrate it by respecting our
individuality and cherishing our potential for making a dif-
ference. We must create an environment that produces edu-
cated people who know their own mind, whose conscience
and ideals are not the internalization of external demands,
who have enough self-confidence to think on their own,
who think of the good of all and refuse to subordinate
themselves to or be manipulated by any power outside of
themselves. We have to work for our freedom by exercising
our independence all year or it will gradually evaporate in a
cloud of conformity.
False patriots say that liberty means simply being let
alone. True patriots know that liberty is not just the
removal of tyranny or encumbrances; it is the cultivation of
freedom worth having and this requires common endeavor
and shared sacrifice. Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer, The
True Patriot.

NEW YORK Stronger earnings
from Mattel, Coca-Cola and other big
companies lifted the Standard & Poors
500 index on Tuesday for only the fourth
day this month.
Mattel jumped 9 percent, more than
any other company in the S&P. The coun-
trys biggest toy maker said net income
rose because of better sales of Barbie
dolls and lower advertising costs. Its
stock climbed $3.01 to $34.05.
Coca-Cola posted higher income and
revenue than Wall Street had expected,
thanks in part to booming business over-
seas. Coke rose $1.21, or 1.6 percent, to
$77.69.
The S&P rose 10.03 points to 1,363.67.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained
78.33 points to 12,805.54, only its third
increase of the month. Concern about cor-
porate earnings and slower economic
growth have weighed on the market.
The stock market wavered between
gains and losses in morning trading as
investors kept an eye on Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernankes rst of two
days of testimony before Congress.
Bernanke said weaker economic
growth probably means unemployment
will remain stubbornly high. But he
offered no signs that the Fed was ready to
take action to bolster growth soon.
The big question here isnt whether
the Fed will act, said Randy Frederick,
managing director of active trading and
derivatives at Charles Schwab. We know
they will. The question is how bad do
things have to deteriorate before they act.
As the earnings season got under way
last week, analysts had expected quarter-
ly prots for companies in the Standard &
Poors 500 index to fall 1 percent com-
pared with the year before, according to
S&P Capital IQ, the research arm of S&P.
That would break a streak of higher earn-
ings that started in the last quarter of
2009.
Jack Ablin, the chief investment ofcer
of Harris Private Bank, said that when
investors are sure that earnings are going
to be dismal, it can set the market up for a
rally.
Ablin joked that it was similar to how,
as a child, he tried to convince his parents
his grades were going to be awful.
That way, anything I brought home
was a relief, he said.
Goldman Sachs also reported earnings
and revenue that beat Wall Streets fore-
casts. The bank said it bundled more
mortgages into bonds, leading to a 37 per-
cent increase in sales from mortgage and
commodity trading. Its stock gained 30
cents to $97.98.

WASHINGTON Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke sketched a
bleak picture of the U.S. economy
Tuesday - and warned it will darken fur-
ther if Congress doesnt reach agreement
soon to avert a budget crisis.
Without an agreement, tax increases
and deep spending cuts would take
effect at years end. Bernanke noted
what the Congressional Budget Ofce
has warned: A recession would occur,
and 1.25 million fewer jobs would be
created in 2013.
The Fed is prepared
to take further action
to try to help the
economy if unem-
ployment stays high,
he said. Bernanke
didnt signal what
steps the Fed might
take or whether any
action was imminent.
And he noted theres
only so much the Fed can do.
But the Fed chairman made clear his
most urgent concern is what would hap-
pen to the economy if Congress cant
resolve its budget impasse before the
year ends.
Cuts in taxes on income, dividends
and capital gains would expire. So
would this years Social Security tax cut
and businesses tax reductions. Defense
and domestic programs would be
slashed. And emergency benets for the
long-term unemployed would run out.
All that would greatly delay the
recovery that were hoping to facilitate,
Bernanke said near the end of two hours
of testimony to the Senate Banking
Committee.
Bernanke was giving his twice-a-year
report to Congress on the state of the
economy. He will testify Wednesday
before the House Financial Services
Committee.
Bernanke: Recession likely if Congress doesnt act

Yahoos 2Q earnings, revenue remain flat
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo turned in another lackluster
performance in the second quarter.
The results announced Tuesday underscore the challenges
facing Yahoos newly hired CEO Marissa Mayer as she tries to
turn around the Internet company after a 13-year career as a
top Google executive.
Mayer, 37, will attempt to reverse years of nancial lethargy
that has plagued Yahoo while rivals such as Google and
Facebook Inc. have prospered as advertisers spent more money
promoting their wares on the Internet. She skipped the compa-
nys earnings conference call Tuesday so she could spend more
time meeting with her new management team.
Yahoo struggled through its latest quarter under two differ-
ent CEOs, Scott Thompson and Ross Levinsohn.
Report: New iPhone to have thinner screen
NEW YORK A published report says the new iPhone will
have a thinner screen. That could leave more room for a larger
battery.
The Wall Street Journal is citing unnamed people familiar
with the matter in reporting that the new iPhone will have a
screen that can sense touches without the need for a separate,
touch-sensitive layer.
Tuesdays report says that would shave off half a millimeter
from the thickness of the screen.
That doesnt mean the phone itself will be thinner. For
instance, Apple might use the space freed up to expand the bat-
tery.
Intel 2Q earnings fall, sees economic headwinds
NEW YORK Intel Corp., the worlds largest chipmaker,
said Tuesday that the weak global economy is slowing its
growth, and revenue for the current quarter is likely to come in
below Wall Street forecasts.
Intels second-quarter net income was $2.83 billion, or 54
cents per share. That was down 4.3 percent from $2.95 billion,
or 54 cents per share, a year earlier, as operating expenses rose
faster than revenue.

When people think of the best athletes in the
state of California, what comes to mind?
Three-sport standouts? A one-sport domina-
tor? Physical freaks of nature?
Sure. The best athletes in the state come in
all shapes and sizes which means they also
come in the lithe, streamlined bodies of swim-
mers.
Tom Kremer, who graduated Sacred Heart
Prep as one of the most decorated swimmers
in school history, was
named by Cal-Hi Sports as
the Division IV Boys
Athletes of the Year.
Palo Altos B.J. Boyd, a
football and baseball play-
er, was selected as the
Division I Boys Athlete of
the Year.
Khalfani Muhammad, a
football player and sprint-
er from Sherman Oaks-Notre Dame, was Cal-
Hi Sports overall Boys Athlete of the Year. A
senior, junior, sophomore and freshman ath-
lete of the year were also selected, as were the
best athletes in each division of enrollment.
We see amazing things out of Tom every
time he swims, said Sacred Heart Prep coach
Kevin Morris. Nothing he does amazes me
these days.
Kremer, who was under consideration for
the Israeli Olympic swim team as a dual citi-
zen of the both the United States and Israel,
capped his nal year in high school with a
Central Coast Section record-breaking swim
in the 100 y. Kremers time of 47.12 in the
preliminaries broke the record of 48.05 set by
Olympian Pablo Morales in 1983 while at
Bellarmine.
Later, he set the new 100 back record.
The 100 y has always been my third-best
event, Kremer said. He said deciding on what
to swim at CCS is always uid. After winning
the 200 free his sophomore and junior years,
Kremer swapped out that race for the 100 y
because it gave him a better opportunity to
win a CCS title in that event.
Kremer honored as one of states best

Pacica American third baseman Chris Rodriguez res to rst for an out during his teams
8-5 loss toDanville in the Section 3 tournament.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
No matter how talented or how good a base-
ball team is, every now and then a team is
bound to have an off day.
The Pacica American 9-10 All-Star team,
unfortunately, chose the wrong time to have
one of those days. After making an undefeated
run to the District 52 title and cruising through
the rst two rounds of Section 3 play, Pacica
was nally handed its rst loss of the playoffs,
falling 8-5 to Danville in the Section 3 cham-
pionship game at San Mateos Lakeshore Park,
home of San Mateo National.
Theyre 10 (years old). Its bound to hap-
pen (have a bad game), said Pacifica
American manager Steve Falk. It was just one
of those days. Even when we hit the ball hard,
it was right at somebody.
The silver lining for Pacica, however, is
because it was the only undefeated team left in
the tournament, it has to be beaten twice to be
denied the championship.
The same two teams will square off for the
championship at 5:30 today at Lakeshore Park.
Having the hammer, it allows you to have
one (bad game), Falk said.
Not even a last-minute pitching change by
Danville, nor a substitution snafu which cost it
a run could keep Danville from forcing a
deciding winner-take-all nale.
Moments before the starting lineups were
announced, the Danville manager informed
the scorers booth he needed to switch his
starting pitcher when it was discovered he had
a bum wrist. With literally minutes to prepare,
Danville emergency starter Nick Espinoza
came in and after a shaky rst inning, shut
down Pacicas prolic offense one that
Pac Am cant seal deal

Foster City Majors manager Steve Sutter
and the rest of his District 52 championship
squad knew that beating San Ramon in the
Section 3 title round was going to be a tall
order.
On Tuesday, in a win-or-go-home affair for
Foster City, they found out exactly just how
tall that order was.
Chances are there isnt a team in District 52
that would have put up much of a ght against
San Ramon with the way it swung the bats
Tuesday in Hillsborough. To put it frank, the
District 57 champions can rake and it proved
it, beating Foster City 10-0 in four innings to
capture the Section 3 title.
Theyre the best offensive team Ive ever
seen, said Foster City shortstop Parker
ORegan. One through nine, they hit line
drives every time.
They can hit, Sutter said. We knew that.
You look at the three scores in their games,
they can put the pressure on with their bats.
Not to mention, they can pitch and play
defense. I knew it would take our best. I actu-
ally think we played pretty darn well. They
just hit the snot out of the ball.
San Ramon steamrolled through the Section
3 championship, outscoring its opponents 23-
1 leading up to the title round. In its last ve
games, including a pair in the District 57
championships, it has scored 53 runs. And in
Mondays post-game meeting after beating
San Leandro, Sutter reminded his troops that
Foster City had beaten one Goliath already in
2012 by displacing Hillsborough atop the
District 52 pedestal. But to do it again, Foster
City would have to hit, eld and pitch aw-
lessly. As it turned out, San Ramon is a differ-
ent type of baseball giant all together.
We knew we had to do our best, said
Foster City utility man Ryan Gardon. I mean,
we all knew they were a good team. But Id
say we denitely werent hitting our best.

PAU, France The RadioShack Nissan
Trek team pulled Frank Schleck, one of the
biggest names in pro cycling, out the Tour de
France on Tuesday after he failed a doping
test, threatening to overshadow Bradley
Wiggins bid to win the three-week race in
Paris this weekend.
The 32-year-old rider
from Luxembourg, who
was third in last years
Tour, left a police station
in Pau where he had dis-
cussed the case with
authorities after cyclings
governing body
announced the positive
test.
The International Cycling Union, or UCI,
said Schleck had tested positive for banned
diuretic Xipamide in an anti-doping test con-
ducted by a French anti-doping lab on a sam-
ple taken from him on July 14.
It marked the second doping scandal to hit
this Tour, and was another reminder of the
doping cloud that has damaged the image of
cycling and its biggest event for years.
Schleck, the RadioShack leader, had been in
12th place overall 9 minutes, 45 seconds
behind leader Wiggins going into the sec-
ond and latter rest day on Tuesday.
The revelation was likely to add stress on
the crash-and sickness-depleted pack, just as
they were gearing up for two grueling days in
the Pyrenees starting Wednesday.

ATLANTA Georgia native Buster Posey
nally had a homecoming to remember.
Posey drove in ve runs with three hits, Barry
Zito combined with two relievers on a ve-hitter
and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta
Braves 9-0 on Tuesday night.
Posey, from Leesburg in southwestern
Georgia, had been only 1 for 11 at Turner Field
before his big night. He said
his parents and grandpar-
ents were in the crowd.
I think I was a little more
relaxed, for sure, Posey
said, comparing the game to
his earlier visits to Atlanta.
I dont get the chance to
play before people I grew
up with very often.
Posey had run-scoring
singles in the rst and third innings. His third hit
was a three-run double off Luis Avilan after Jair
Jurrjens (3-3) departed in the fourth.
Growing up here in Georgia, Im sure he had
a lot of family and friends here, and he had a
good game for them, said manager Bruce
Bochy. I noticed his numbers here havent been
too good.
Bochy made a pregame request for better
pitching away from home
with his staffs road ERA
sitting at 4.85 third-worst
in the majors. Zito (8-6),
who came in with a 5.19
road ERA, answered
Bochys call by allowing
only three hits and one walk
with four strikeouts in seven
innings.
Zito improved to 4-0 in
ve career starts at Turner Field.
I dont think theres a whole lot to it, Zito
said when asked about his success in Atlanta.
Its a fun place to pitch.
The rst-place Giants, who have won four
straight, began the night two games ahead of the
Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
The Braves only hits off Zito were a single by
Martin Prado to lead off the fourth, an ineld hit
by Brian McCann to open the fth and Freddie
Freemans double with two outs in the seventh.
Zito ended the seventh on McCanns groundout
to second base.
George Kontos took over for Zito to start the
eighth and gave up a one-out double to Paul
Janish. Clay Hensley allowed a single to Tyler
Pastornicky in the ninth for Atlantas fth hit.
Hensley hit Freeman with a pitch before ending
the game on McCanns yball to centereld.
Jurrjens gave up eight runs on eight hits and
three walks in 3 1-3 innings as the Braves seven-
game winning streak ended with a thud. Jurrjens
had been 3-0 in four starts since his recall from
Triple-A Gwinnett on June 22.
It was a tough one, Jurrjens said, adding he
didnt have good command of his pitches. The
Braves were not charged with an error but also
were hurt by some sloppy elding, including
when Jurrjens missed the bag after taking a
throw from Freeman on Angel Pagans ineld hit
to start the fourth inning.
We just didnt get it done like a team,
Jurrjens said. I didnt make pitches, we didnt
hit, we didnt eld. Thats a team loss.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez called it
probably one of the ugliest games weve played
in a while.
The Giants sent 10 batters to the plate in the
fourth. Zito slapped a run-scoring single under
third baseman Chipper Jones glove. Ryan
Theriot and Melky Cabrera also drove in runs
with singles in the big inning.
San Francisco catcher Hector Sanchez left the
game in the fourth with a sprained left knee.
Sanchez singled and then took off for second
base as Zito attempted a bunt. Zito missed the
ball and Sanchez appeared to hurt himself when
he stopped running. He was limping as he left
the eld.
Bochy said Sanchez will have an MRI on
Wednesday.
Were hoping for the best, Bochy said.
Were thinking its a couple days.
Sanchez started with Posey playing rst base.
Brandon Belt ran for Sanchez and remained in
the game at rst as Posey moved behind the
plate. The Giants say Sanchez is day to day.
Avilan gave up ve hits and one run in 3 2-3
innings.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn
Lynch was seen weaving from lane to lane on
Interstate 880 in the Oakland, Calif., area on
Saturday morning, leading to his arrest for
investigation of DUI.
An incident report released by the
California Highway Patrol on Tuesday
described Lynch driving a Ford Econoline van
and having two near collisions with two other
vehicles driving in adjacent lanes.
Authorities say Lynch was pulled over
around 3:20 a.m. PDT Saturday in Emeryville
and showed signs of intoxication. After multi-
ple field sobriety tests,
Lynch was arrested and
booked into jail, where he
was cited and later
released. Lynch took a
chemical test.
Teresa Drenick, director
of communications for the
Alameda County district
attorney's office, said
Lynch was scheduled for
an Aug. 14 preliminary
court appearance and that any decision on
charging Lynch will be made by then.
Drenick said the ofce has yet to receive the
police report from the CHP.
The Seahawks said in a statement late
Monday that the team is "aware of the situa-
tion with Marshawn and still gathering infor-
mation."
Lynch's agent didn't immediately respond to
calls from the Associated Press seeking com-
ment.
Lynch signed a four-year contract in March
that will keep him in a Seattle uniform for the
prime of his NFL career. The contract is worth
$31 million, including a guaranteed $18 mil-
lion. Lynch rushed for 1,204 yards and 12
touchdowns last season.
Lynch came to Seattle during the 2010 sea-
son in a trade with Buffalo and after his career
with the Bills stalled. Lynch ran into problems
off the eld in Buffalo, but stayed clear of
trouble with the Seahawks until now.
He pleaded guilty in March 2009 to a mis-
demeanor gun charge in Los Angeles. He was
sentenced to 80 hours of community service
and three years' probation, and was suspended
three games by the league for violating the
NFL personal conduct policy.
That was Lynch's second run-in with the
law following a hit-and run-accident in
Buffalo in May 2008. In the earlier incident,
he pleaded guilty to a trafc violation and
admitted to driving away after striking a
woman with his car near Buffalo's downtown
bar district.
No decision yet on charges against Marshawn Lynch

Theyre just a great team. You have to respect
that.
It wasnt like we walked six kids or made
ve errors, [San Ramon] hit the snot out of the
ball, Sutter said. You cant do anything
about that.
San Ramon got the bashing started early
and its hit barrage was most likely fueled by
Foster Citys inability to capitalize on a one-
out double by Chris Fung to start the game.
Fung was stranded at third and his two-bagger
would be the only hit for FC until the top of
the fourth when JJ Otta snuck a single up the
middle of the diamond. San Ramons Patrick
Polcar was just as dominant on the hill as his
entire team was at the dish.
I really felt like that run comes across, we
have a little more condence going, Sutter
said.
Foster City caught some breaks in the rst
inning when San Ramon scored only a single
run on four hits. A couple of baserunning mis-
takes cost the District 57 champions, but even
with those blunders the fact was that San
Ramon was spraying line drives all over the
eld against Tommy Ghiorso.
We had a little trouble getting Tommy to
get that rst-pitch strike over because then we
could have gone to the off-speed, Sutter said
of his starter. He didnt quite locate as well.
But hes done it for us time and time again.
Hes been one of the best starting pitchers all
season long so he earned a spot to do that.
San Ramon stepped on the accelerator in
the second, sending nine batters to the plate
and stringing together six straight hits the
biggest an opposite eld bomb off the bat of
Zach Chalmers that made it 7-0.
Im not sure [San Ramon] can do anything
different to our pitchers even with two other
different pitchers out there they were hit-
ting anybody, Sutter said. They were hot
and theyve been hot all postseason.
We were just hoping we could get them out
on some good pitches, good defense and have
some timely hits, ORegan said.
Actually, it was San Ramon getting all the
hitting done. In the third, Andrew Polk came
in to spell Ghiorso and he was quickly greet-
ed by a home run to dead centereld. San
Ramon tacked on two more before the inning
was done with Robbie Funkhausers triple
being the key hit.
Otta singled in the fourth with two outs, but
a Ethan Wolf y ball to centereld ended
Foster Citys season due to the 10-run mercy
rule.
Im happy that we won district and were
able to make it to the nals, ORegan said.
Im a little disappointed, I wish the game
would have been a little closer but San Ramon
is a good team and I hope they do well at
NorCals.
They need to take a breath after 30 days of
playing baseball and realize this was pretty
magical to get this far and do what we did,
Sutter said. Weve really been playing great
baseball for an entire month. I think every one
of these kids played their hearts out for a solid
month.
Its good memories, Gardon said of his
teams run in 2012. Itll denitely last forev-
er. We just got to keep on playing. This is not
the end of it.

The Foster City Flash 12-under softball
team recently completed a very satisfying year
of play, manager Roger Miller said.
At the beginning of the season, we didnt
know what to expect, Miller said. We knew
we had a good team. The girls did great. The
girls won three of the tournaments they were
in.
Those three tournament wins were the high-
lights of a 26-8 campaign for Foster City, with
their most recent victory coming last weekend
at the San Jose Wess Jones Tournament. Miller
said it was quite the time in the South Bay.
The girls were all hitting as a way to end
our year, Miller said. Everyone was hitting
[and] making incredible defensive plays. That
would be my favorite of the three [tournament
wins]. The way they came together at the end.
All the girls knew they were going to be mov-
ing up next year and everybody gave 100 per-
cent and thats the way they nished their sea-
son, the way we always dreamed they would.
Just like theyve done all summer long,
Foster City accomplished their Wess Jones
Tournament win by getting key contributions
across the roster.
In the circle, Abygail Lan led the way, post-
ing a 19-6 record in 2012. The left-hander
earned six victories in San Jose. Shes dyna-
mite, Miller said. And its hard to hit a lefty,
as all the girls will tell you it. You dont see
lefties very often. Shes a fantastic asset.
But Lan wasnt alone. Miller said the Flash
got valuable innings from players like Haley
Konga, a rst year Flash, and Sophia Kajani.
Foster Citys three-headed monster was
aided by some solid defensive play. In this
case, Miller said versatility was the name of
the game.
Defensively, we have girls that can play
ineld and outeld, he said. Thats the key
to our success, we can put them anywhere.
Protect the bunt, make the hard plays in the
gap and have strong arms to make accurate
throws to rst base.
Offensively, Foster Citys biggest strength
was their speed. And with players like Kalina
Chan and Bailey McDonough at the top of the
lineup, they had it to spare.
Our strategy was put the speed up top, put
some power in the middle and put speed at the
bottom again ... speed, power, speed, speed,
power, Miller said. We had a great bunting
attack. That was the key to our success. We
had three girls that could put the bunt down
perfectly and they could also hit when we
needed them to.
With runners all over the bases, it was up to
players like Kathy Li (who led the Flash in
homers) and Alana Bartke, to dive them home.
Although Miller said he emphasized contact at
the plate as the main Foster City objective.
Its extremely important, Milller said. At
this level, you make them make the play. We
try to teach the girls, even if its a small little
hit, make the defense make the play and good
things happen. Put the ball in play and good
things happen. Thats our motto.
Its a motto that worked for Foster City pro-
gram, not just the 12U, in 2012.
Thats what makes it an incredible year
because in Foster City, were a smaller softball
program, Miller said. We only had 16 girls
try out for the 12-U team and took 14. Thats
the beauty of the Foster City softball program,
as small as we are, how good we can put these
teams together. And it comes from great
coaching and a great supportive board that
supports Foster City softball.
And with players like Ramya Jois, rst
baseman Ananya Koneti, second baseman
Amanda Follansbee and outelder Aubree
Simper, Miller feels like 2013 can be just as
good.
I think next year is going to be a fantastic
year for us, he said. We have eight girls
coming back and we have some good girls
from 10-U coming up. Were looking forward
to a fantastic year next year as well.
Foster City Flash end season on high note

rst Tour champion, leads fellow Briton and
Sky teammate Christopher Froome by 2:05
and Vincenzo Nibali of Italy by 2:23.
Defending champion Cadel Evans of
Australia is fourth, 3:19 behind.
Competitors in the 99th Tour had plenty of
time to ponder the tricky 16th and 17th stages
on the rest day, with the Pyrenees visible on
the horizon from the medieval, palm tree-
lined city of Pau.
Wednesdays stage runs through the so-
called Circle of Death along four brutal
climbs none more daunting than the 7,000-
foot Tourmalet. On Thursday, the last summit
nishes atop the 5,300-foot Peyragudes.
Wiggins is talking a big game in his bid to
become Britains rst Tour de France champi-
on. He says Wednesdays stage isnt any
more difcult than any other stage weve done
up to this stage, really.
Wiggins said the Tourmalet was nothing
special.
It goes uphill like all the others, doesnt
it? he said.
The four renowned passes the riders will
climb Wednesday are the Peyresourde,
Aubisque, Aspin and Tourmalet, the highest
point on this years Tour. The pack on
Thursday must ascend the Col de Mente and
Port de Bales before scaling Peyragudes.
Generally, the Pyrenees are a bit harder
than the Alps, said U.S. cyclist Tejay van
Garderen. The roads are a bit rougher.
Theyre just a bit more taxing.
But the more immediate question for the
whole pack was how it would surmount
cyclings latest positive test for doping this
time at the heart of a well-known cycling fam-
ily and one of its big-name teams.The
RadioShack team said in a statement that it
had decided to withdraw Schleck from the
race, and said that the diuretic is not present in
any medicine used by the team.
The statement said the reason for the pres-
ence of Xipamide in the urine sample of Mr.
Schleck is unclear to the team. Therefore, the
team is not able to explain the adverse nd-
ings at this point.
Team spokesman Philippe Maertens said
Schleck went to the Pau police station of his
own accord to cooperate with authorities.
Maertens said the rider knew police would
likely be coming for him.
Maertens said the team is likely to ask for
the B sample to be analyzed. That request
must come within the next four days, accord-
ing to the UCI.
If it comes back positive he will be sus-
pended by the team, Maertens said.
He added that police did not search the rid-
ers rooms at the hotel, and that RadioShack
will continue to compete in the race, he said.
Still, it was more bad news for the
RadioShack squad, which was built on the
remains of former teams of Lance Armstrong,
who helped land the top-line sponsorship of
the American retail chain for the team.The
team manager, Johan Bruyneel, has been tar-
geted in the same U.S. anti-doping case tar-
geting the seven-time Tour champion.
Bruyneel opted to skip the Tour to avoid being
a distraction to the race and RadioShack rid-
ers.
TDF
Not that he was ducking anyone or any race.
On the contrary, Kremer was a contender for
nearly any race he chose to enter.
He is so good at everything, Morris said.
During the season, if the other team had a
sprinter, [Kremer] swam the 50 (free).
I think his 50 free and 100 free times in our
relays would have won the open 50 free and
100 free (at CCS).
Kremer said the 200 free was still in the mix
until he put up a monster time in the 100 y
at the Palo Alto Invitational, which is only a
few weeks before the CCS championships.
We use that (event) as practice for CCS,
Kremer said. Ill do the events (at Palo Alto)
I think Ill do at CCS.
I did better than I expected in both events.
When his time in the 100 y at Palo Also
was good enough to have broken the CCS
record, Morris and Kremer almost felt obli-
gated to chase the new mark.
The 100 y (was) the oldest record in the
(CCS) record book, Morris said. You have
to go out and (try) to break that record.
Now Kremer will try to break records at
Stanford, knowing he has the bona des to
stand on the swim deck and compete against
some of the best swimmers in the world.
The Olympics remain a goal as well, but
Kremer realizes there is still a lot of work left
to do.
College swimming is insane, Kremer
said. Ive seen times I thought were impossi-
ble.
KREMER
had scored a combined 21 runs in its rst two
Section 3 wins.
Pacica managed nine hits for the game, but
after a three-run rst, it was more or less
silenced.
Its far cry from the last time Pacica faced
Espinoza and Danville, an 11-3 Pacica win
Sunday.
Danville, on the other hand, managed eight
runs on seven hits against four Pacica pitchers,
none of whom was very effective. Starter Elijah
Ricks worked into the third inning, allowing ve
runs (four earned) on just three hits. Danville
didnt hit the ball particularly hard, it just took
what Pacica gave them which was eight
walks and three Pacica errors.
Falk said his ace, Andrew Harkness will start
in todays championship game, but it will be an
all-hands-on-deck game as all of Pacicas
pitchers have some pitches left in them.
The game started well for Pacica as it scored
three times on three hits in the rst inning. Tyler
Shaw led off with a single and went to second on
Christian Falks single. Both moved up a base on
a groundout and both scored on Ricks opposite-
eld double down the left-eld foul line. Ricks
went to third on a groundout and scored on a
Danville error.
Danville came right back with two runs in the
bottom of the rst on RBIs from Jack Grant and
Colin Moroney. Danville was held scoreless in
the second the only inning it didnt score
and took the lead for good with a three-run third.
It tacked on a couple more in the fourth, an
inning that abruptly ended when a substitution
error called for an automatic out, which ended
the frame with two runs in for Danville and it
threatening to score more.
Danville added an insurance run in the fth
before Pacica made the East Bay team sweat
out a dicey top of the sixth.
Chris Rodriguez led off the inning with a dou-
ble and following a strikeout, Espinoza reached
his 75-pitch mandated limit. Shane Hawkins
greeted the Danville reliever by getting plunked
in the helmet and Justice Turner followed with a
single, with pinch runner Michael Bigler scoring
on an error by the right elder.
Spencer Karalius also came through with a
single, with Hawkins also scoring on a error.
Just like that, Pacica was only three runs
away. But as suddenly as the rally developed, it
was snuffed out when Danville turned a 4-6-3
double play to end the game.
If nothing else, Pacica American left
Danville a little something to think about with its
sixth-inning uprising.
I told them they were red up in the rst and
red up in the sixth. Now we need to take that to
the rest of the game, Falk said. I was proud to
see them battle at the end.

HOUSTON Say goodbye to Linsanity,
New York.
Jeremy Lin is taking his game off Broadway
way off to Houston after the Knicks
announced Tuesday night they would not match
the Rockets three-year, $25 million offer for
the restricted free agent.
Extremely excited and honored to be a
Houston Rocket again!! Lin posted on his
Twitter account.
Much love and thankfulness to the Knicks
and New York for your support the past
year...easily the best year of my life.
Lin became an international phenomenon and
the biggest story in sports during one dazzling
month in the Big Apple. But the Knicks decid-
ed keeping the show in town was too costly.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey cele-
brated the re-acquisition on Twitter:
Welcome to Houston (at)JLin7. We plan to
hang on this time. You will love
(hash)RedNation.
The Rockets waived Lin after two weeks in
their training camp in December.
The Knicks said they would match any offer
to retain Lin, a restricted free agent. But the
Rockets made it tough for the Knicks to keep
Lin by backloading their offer sheet with a $15
million salary in the third season. If the Knicks
agreed to that deal, they wouldve faced a hefty
luxury tax in 2014-15 because of other big
contracts on their books between $30-40
million.
One sports consultant said the adjustment to
the offer sheet was a stroke of genius by Morey.
The Rockets deserve a lot of credit for the
way theyve gone about this, said Marc Ganis,
president of Chicago-based SportsCorp. It was
extremely intelligent with an assassins
touch.
But Houston made the bad move, initially,
waiving Lin because it already had Goran
Dragic and Kyle Lowry on the roster. The
Knicks picked him up and gave him rst real
shot. He was briey demoted to the develop-
mental league, recalled and nally got his
chance when coach Mike DAntoni put him in
with the Knicks oundering at 8-15. Lin scored
a career-high 25 points in a 99-92 win over New
Jersey Nets and Linsanity was born.
Lin had slept on teammate Landry Fields
couch the night before, still refusing to get his
own place as he headed into that week, knowing
the Knicks would have to decide whether to cut
him or guarantee his contract for the rest of the
season.
But Lin proved more than just a one-hit won-
der he had 28 and 23 points in his rst two
NBA starts, and then scored a career-high 38 in
a 92-85 victory over Kobe Bryant and the Los
Angeles Lakers.
The stock price for Madison Square Garden
Inc. surged on the production and popularity of
the teams international star. Lin also made the
Sports Illustrated cover in consecutive weeks,
only the 12th athlete to hold that distinction
since 1990. On Tuesday, Lin had more than
829,000 followers on Twitter.
The more opponents saw Lin, though, the
more they seemed to gure him out as the sea-
son wore on. He went 1 for 11 with eight
turnovers in a humbling, nationally televised
loss in Miami and the Knicks dropped their rst
six games in March.
DAntoni resigned in mid-March and Lin
hurt his left knee less than two weeks later. The
Knicks revealed on April 1 that Lin needed sur-
gery to repair a meniscus tear and would miss
six weeks.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England The most
valuable slip of paper found at any British Open
is not a list of the odds. Its the forecast.
Neither of them can be trusted.
Pot bunkers that are staggered down the fair-
way and surround the green were all the talk
Tuesday at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and no
doubt they will play a critical role in deciding
who has his name engraved on the claret jug.
Because of a wet spring really wet the
native grass covering the dunes and hillocks is
so thick and deep that any ball going that far off
line could be lost forever.
No matter which links course golfs oldest
championship is played on, however, weather is
as signicant as a burn, a bunker or even an out-
of-bounds stake. This is the only major remain-
ing with a full eld that does not send half the
players off on the rst tee and the other half on
the 10th tee. Barry Lane will get the Open start-
ed on Thursday at 6:19 a.m. Ashley Hall will be
the last to tee off at 4:11 p.m.
Now, consider the weather on Britains sea-
side links can change in a New York minute.
Being on the right side of the draw always
plays a part in the Open Championship, Darren
Clarke said. You get good sides, bad sides.
Thats part of the Open Championship. The
scoring can differ massively because of these
weather conditions. But thats part and parcel of
the Open Championship. Thankfully, I got a
good one last year.
Clarke wound up winning at Royal St.
Georges, and Saturday was the key.
He was dressed in full rain gear, all black,
when he walked onto the rst tee with a share of
the 36-hole lead. When he walked up to the 18th
green, he was wearing short sleeves and blinked
in the bright sunshine of late afternoon. The
morning group faced raging wind and rain. They
had no chance to make up ground.
It was quite the opposite on a Saturday at
Muireld in 2002.
Steve Elkington made the cut on the number
and wound up in a four-way playoff, helped in
part by playing Saturday morning in pleasant
conditions. Justin Leonard went from a tie for
50th to a tie for third by playing before the 30
mph gusts and bone-chilling rain arrived. Tiger
Woods? He wasnt so fortunate. Going for the
third leg of the Grand Slam that year, he had a
career-high 81.
I was on the rst tee when that stormed rolled
in, Tiger Woods a group or two behind me,
Clarke said. That was a tough one.
The forecast for the week? Seems like it
changes every day.
Woods put great detail into his practice round
Sunday, his rst time at Lytham in 11 years,
fearful that the rest of the practice rounds would
be washed out and that would be his best
chances. He wound up playing the next two
mornings, and the umbrella never came out of
the bag.
Lee Westwood felt like a genius Monday
afternoon when he and Luke Donald decided to
go out for a practice round in the rain. Well
before they nished, the sun was out, the breeze
was gentle, and it was ideal.
It was one of the best Open Championship
practices I ever had, Westwood said.
The latest forecast hold your umbrellas
is for rain on Wednesday, ending sometime
Thursday morning, followed by something
called a dry spell that could last into the week-
end, accompanied by gusts anywhere from 15
mph to 25 mph, more or less.
Rory McIlroy was the heir apparent in golf
last year at Royal St. Georges, lost his way in
the wind and rain and then stunned British writ-
ers, who found out that the kid from Northern
Ireland prefers sunny and calm weather. He did
join the PGA Tour this year and lives part of the
year in Florida.
Weather can be the biggest hazard at British Open

Chicago food fest struggles as revenues fall
By Sarah Kuta
CHICAGO Chicagos showcase summer festival, Taste
of Chicago, is struggling to nd a new identity amid dwindling
revenues and more choices for cash-strapped residents and vis-
itors.
The 32-year-old food festival, which draws millions of peo-
ple to Grant Park each July, used to be Chicagos premiere
event bringing together restaurants from around the city. But
after nancial losses the past three years, organizers made the
Taste shorter and smaller, and are charging for concerts. The
moves come even as new events pop up across the U.S. and
other festivals report record attendance.
Its not yet clear how the changes will affect the Tastes suc-
cess. But for Kathy Davis, who has been attending for 20
years, this years event lacked the large crowds, reworks and
high-prole entertainment she remembered.
Its a little disheartening, said 44-year-old Davis of
Bartlett, Ill.
Meanwhile, other festivals across the country are doing well.
Los Angeles and Austin both had successful inaugural food
and wine festivals last year. The Taste of Philadelphia has
expanded, adding more space, food trucks and another stage
for entertainment. The Hawaii Food & Wine Festival donated
$250,000 to charities after the event in 2011.
Taste of Chicago has lost $2.7 million in the last three years,
ofcials say. This year, the city tried to cut some losses by sell-
ing 15,000 concert tickets at $25 each; more than 7,000 tickets
still were available on opening day. The festival moved from
July Fourth weekend to a week later and was cut from 10 days
to ve. It features 40 vendors, down from nearly 60.
The Tastes well-established brand is one of its greatest
assets, but that might also be holding it back, experts say.
Chicago is the granddaddy of them all, said Ira Rosen,
North American director of the International Festivals and
Events Association. Maybe it has suffered from its success.
People say, Been there, done that. Whats new? Whats differ-
ent? If theyve not kept that cutting edge, its going to hurt.
At its peak in 2006 and 2007, the event saw 3.6 million vis-
itors. But last year, it drew 2.3 million visitors, down 11 per-
cent from 2010. In addition to the most recent adjustments, the
expensive annual reworks show was axed two years ago,
something ofcials cite as one reason attendance dropped.
City ofcials dont yet have a tally for this years opening
day, which was Wednesday, though they said they hoped to
make the event more cost-effective. They wont know how the
changes have impacted the festival until after its over and ve-
day attendance and revenue numbers are calculated.
The city, with a budget decit of more than $600 million,
spends $6.8 million on the Taste of Chicago, though it has
some corporate sponsorships and hopes to make all its money
back. The festival also leads to more than $80 million in addi-
tional spending in the city, said city spokeswoman Cindy
Gatziolis.
In other cities, nonprot organizations or event management
companies run similar festivals. But when Chicago asked for
private bids in 2010, just one company offered a plan.
Taste also faces competition from numerous other Chicago
festivals, ranging from neighborhood events to big music fes-
See FOOD FEST, Page 18
Taste of Chicago has lost $2.7 million in the last three years, ofcials say.This year, the city tried to cut some losses by selling
15,000 concert tickets at $25 each; more than 7,000 tickets still were available on opening day.The festival moved from July
Fourth weekend to a week later and was cut from 10 days to ve. It features 40 vendors, down from nearly 60.

tivals such as Lollapalooza, which is funded
and produced by a private company.
Gatziolis declined to comment on the possi-
bility of the city handing the reins to someone
else, adding that the city works hard to pre-
serve the free admission and low prices.
Charging admission might make Chicagos
event safer, some festival-goers said. In 2008,
one person was killed and three people were
injured during a shooting after the July 3 re-
works show. Though crowds might be smaller,
they would be easier to manage.
I would pay a small one, like $5 or $10
maybe, said Scott Reierstad, a 34-year-old
from Rolling Meadows, Ill.
Funding for Pig Out in the Park, a compara-
ble festival in Spokane, Wash., comes from
sponsorships, restaurant booth fees and com-
mission on restaurant prots, but not from the
city, said Bill Burke, who owns Burke
Marketing and founded the event 33 years
ago. The festival has grown about 5 percent
every year, and saw about 95,000 visitors last
summer.
Other food festivals are more upscale. Los
Angeles, Austin and Atlanta hosted inaugural
food and wine festivals in 2011 and 2012.
Admission ranges from $75 to more than
$1000, but includes free food and wine tast-
ing, classes, seminars and celebrity chefs.
David Bernahl, co-founder of the Los
Angeles Food & Wine Festival, lived in
Chicago for most of his childhood. He remem-
bers Taste fondly but said organizers should
consider a partnership with a full-time events
management company or nonprot organiza-
tion.
Taste is the same as its been for a really
long time, Bernahl said. Sometimes it takes
a risk, which is very difcult for government
agencies.

Restaurant and Brewhouse which was where
he rst learned about gluten allergies and
gluten-free options.
I saw how many people were coming for it,
and then when I started working here I
thought it would be a good option. ... It was a
great opportunity for people to try, Ulas said.
The change didnt happen right away. The
restaurants owner and cooks didnt know
about cooking gluten free, Ulas said, so at rst
they were nervous about safely separating all
the gluten-free cooking from the rest of the
cooking. Now the cooks know what to do and
he doesnt even need to check on them any-
more, Ulas said.
This effort has paid off and brought in new
customers, Ulas said. One young girl whos a
regular customer will only eat their gluten-
free pizza because its served in a regular
pizza box, so she feels normal. The restaurant
has chosen to only serve pizza with gluten-
free crust (made with a mix of garbanzo and
other bean ours), Ulas said. This lowered the
risk of cross-contamination and didnt really
affect business. And customers who arent
gluten free dont seem to mind, he said.
They like it anyways, Ulas said. It has a
really nice texture, it has a really nice avor.
Putting crepes back on the menu
Crepes are another food that often have
gluten at its core, but gluten-free diners dont
have to feel left out at Lilys Creperie in San
Mateo. This cafe makes crepes available to
those avoiding gluten by using buckwheat
our instead.
This option was introduced six months ago,
said co-owner Scott Dawe, 46, who opened
the cafe just over a year and a half ago with
his wife, Lily. They wanted to use buckwheat
from the beginning, Dawe said, but tried a
number of different brands before they found
one that created the right texture they wanted
for the batter.
Traditional savory crepes are done with
buckwheat anyways, Dawe said. Its some-
thing we always wanted, but we just needed to
nd the right product.
Once they found the right buckwheat our
for their crepes it was well received by gluten-
free customers, Dawe said, and the increase in
business was noticeable. They even get cus-
tomers who arent gluten free who enjoy the
buckwheat crepes. And buckwheat is a health-
ier option anyway, he added.
The cafe gets between two and four people
asking for the buckwheat option per week,
Dawe said. All the crepes on the menu can be
made with the buckwheat option, including
the savory roast beef with mozzarella crepe
and the crepe with strawberries and Nutella.
Lilys creperie is one of the few places in
the Bay Area that uses buckwheat, Dawe said.
Hes been to other creperies that use other
ours combined with buckwheat, so theyre
not completely gluten free. Their crepes are
100 percent gluten-free, he said.
You now have something to offer people
who are gluten intolerant, Dawe said. Its
nice to be able to offer that to people who oth-
erwise wouldnt be able to come to our store,
so it helps.
Have your (gluten-free)
cake and eat it too
A bakery can pose a challenge for gluten-
free customers looking for something sweet,
but Zest Bakery in San Carlos puts them rst,
offering a variety of gluten-free baked items
including doughnuts, cake and mufns.
Co-owner Patrick Luke, 38, opened the bak-
ery two years ago with his wife, Charissa. He
said he wanted to try something different after
being laid off from his previous job and began
baking out of boredom, as well as necessity:
Hes a celiac with a dairy and soy intolerance.
Patrick also realized he and Charissa were
good at it.
Some of the bakerys recipes are family
recipes modied to be gluten free and others
are the Lukes own creations (they use a num-
ber of gluten substitutes including brown rice
flour and teff flour). When Zest Bakery
opened, Luke expected business to be slow at
rst but said the reaction was meteoric from
the beginning. The bakery has also gotten
positive reactions from customers who arent
gluten free.
As the gluten-free industry has risen,
weve kind of followed with it, and peoples
awareness of us has grown as well, Luke
said.
Savory options are also available at the bak-
ery, including take and bake pizzas and ravio-
li. The fun part for them is experimenting with
new things, Charissa Luke said. They get
many special requests and are happy to
accommodate if they have the time, she said.
Luke enjoys seeing the reactions of cus-
tomers at Zest Bakery he said it makes him
feel like hes doing something right.
It never ceases to bring a smile to my face
when I see some 4-year-old child who is
gluten intolerant and can come in and have a
chocolate-chip cookie, Luke said.

P
eople have been eating it for thousands of years,
yet still no one can tell me why it should be peeled.
So I dont, and neither should you.
It being fresh ginger, the gnarly brown root that lives
amongst the grocers Asian produce. And the flavor is so
much better than dried, you must get to
know it.
Most of us think of ginger as the
powder in the spice cabinet and use it
mostly for baking. In Asia, where gin-
ger originated, its more a savory
ingredient. Thats because fresh ginger
packs tons of warm, pungent, peppery
flavor that works so well with meats
and vegetables.
Though they can be used inter-
changeably, the flavor of fresh ginger
is more pronounced than dried, sport-
ing heavy citrus, even acidic notes. In
Asia, fresh ginger is an essential part of numerous classic
dishes, including stir-fries, soups, sauces and marinades, as
well as Indian curries.
When cooking with fresh ginger, keep in mind a couple
things.
First, cooking mellows the flavor. So if you want to real-
ly taste it, add some ginger at the beginning of cooking,
and a bit more at the end.
Second, the strength of the ginger can vary widely by the
piece. So if youre looking for a serious hit of ginger, taste
it before you add it.
Now, about that peeling. Watch cooking shows and read
recipes, and youll be told again and again to peel your
ginger before chopping, slicing or grating it. I have no idea
why. The skin is entirely edible and doesnt change the fla-
vor. So save yourself the time and effort, and just use your
ginger as is.
And the best tool for the job is a wand-style grater, such
as a Microplane. These graters quickly reduce ginger root
to fine shavings or pulp ideal for cooking.
When shopping for fresh ginger, look for firm, tan roots
with no signs of mold or shriveling. It can be stored in the
refrigerator for several weeks. But I prefer to freeze my
fresh ginger. Frozen ginger lasts for months and is easier to
grate than fresh.
For more ideas for using fresh ginger, check out the Off
the Beaten Aisle column over on Food Network:

GINGER-ORANGE CHICKEN CUTLETS
Start to finish: 1 hour (20 minutes active)
Servings: 4
1 cup orange juice
2-inch chunk fresh ginger
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup heavy cream
In a blender, combine the orange juice, ginger, garlic and
salt. Puree until smooth, then set aside.
Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to
create 2 thin halves. Place the chicken in a zip-close plastic
bag, then add the orange juice mixture. Refrigerate the
chicken for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a bak-
ing sheet with cooking spray.
In a wide, shallow bowl, mix together the flour and garlic
powder. Beat the egg in a second bowl, and pour the panko
into a third.
One at a time, remove the chicken pieces from the mari-
nade, reserving the marinade. Dredge each piece of chicken
first through the flour, then the egg, then the panko.
Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spritz the tops of the chicken with cooking spray, then
bake for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, transfer the marinade to a small saucepan
over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 min-
utes. Stir in the cream.
Serve the chicken with the sauce.

this afternoon for a Superior Court
review conference.
He has no prior criminal history in San

LOS ANGELES The aggregating
website RottenTomatoes.com suspend-
ed user comments on movie reviews of
The Dark Knight Rises after com-
menters reacted harshly to negative
reviews of the film and made profane
and threatening remarks about the crit-
ics who wrote them.
Matt Atchity, the sites editor-in-
chief, said Tuesday it was the first time
RottenTomatoes.com has suspended
user comments, adding postings about
Dark Knight reviews would likely be
restored by the end of the week. The
final film in director Christopher
Nolans Batman trilogy opens Friday.
The job of policing the comments
became more than my staff could han-
dle for that film, so we stopped the
comments altogether, said Atchity. It
just got to be too much hate based on
reactions to reviews of movies that
people hadnt even seen.
Atchity said the site is considering a
move to a Facebook commenting sys-
tem, which might cut down on the glut
of anonymous posts. Other film review
aggregating sites, such as
MetaCritic.com and
MovieReviewIntelligence.com, either
dont allow user comments or dont
permit comments to be posted before a
film opens.
There are a lot of options on the
table, said Atchity, who is worried
about a similar backlash when director
Peter Jacksons The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey is released later
this year. We may do away with com-
ments completely or get to a place
where comments are only activated
after a movie opens.
While The Dark Knight Rises is
currently experiencing a glowing 84
percent fresh rating on
RottenTomatoes.com, the film has
been deemed rotten by a few critics,
including Marshall Fine of Hollywood
& Fine, Christy Lemire of the
Associated Press and Nick Pinkerton of
the Village Voice. Fine lambasted
Dark Knight Rises for being non-
sensical, and Lemire called it a let-
down.
As a movie writer and critic, Christy
gives her opinion and we expect people
will agree with some of her reviews
and disagree with others, said Lou
Ferrara, the AP managing editor who
oversees entertainment. Its unfortu-
nate when the conversation turns ugly.
RottenTomatoes.com is owned by
social movie site Flixster.com, a
Warner Bros. company.
Rotten Tomatoes suspends Dark Knight comments
Consolidation is good fiscal policy,
according to the report.
Cities that either contract with the
San Mateo County Public Safety
Communications Center or another
larger city pay $18.45 on average per
911 call, according to the report.
Cities that operate their own dispatch
service pay $30.04 on average per 911
call, according to the report.
The city of Millbrae, which now con-
tracts with the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office for police services and
the countys communications center for
dispatch, pays the least per 911 call at
$11, according to the report.
On the flip side, the average cost per
911 call in Hillsborough, which has its
own dispatch center and four dispatch-
ers, is $51, according to the report.
The report states that the cities of San
Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park and
South San Francisco can reduce their
costs by bringing in one or more part-
ners. The savings could reach up to 20
percent in overhead alone, according to
the report.
Last year, the city of Pacifica started
contracting with South San Francisco
for police dispatch services and is
expected to save nearly $300,000 annu-
ally, according to the report. Pacificas
average per 911 call is now $21.
In 2003, the city of Brisbane started
contracting police dispatch with the
city of San Mateo. Brisbanes cost per
911 call is $18.
Belmonts average cost per 911 call is
$27, according to the report.
Officials in that city, however, are
happy with having police dispatch
locally controlled.
It may be something to consider in
the future but Im very happy with the
top quality of our local dispatch servic-
es, Belmont Mayor Dave Warden
wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach
said consolidating the service could
hurt the close-knit relationship local
police dispatchers have with the com-
munity.
Dispatchers dont know other
cities, she wrote the Daily Journal in
an email. I dont agree with the grand
jury we do fine on our own.
The grand jury recommends that
smaller cites contract with larger dis-
patch centers to take over dispatch dur-
ing off-peak hours so that no city has
fewer than two dispatchers on duty at
any one time.
It also recommends that local elected
officials take a leadership role on
behalf of their constituents to drive con-
solidation of police dispatch across San
Mateo County.
Currently, the countys Public Safety
Communications Center does not have
the physical capacity at its present loca-
tion to absorb all county police dis-
patch, according to the report.
The Sheriffs Office is currently tran-
sitioning to a new records-management
system, expected to be completed by
the end of this year, that should make it
easier for more cities to contract with it
for police and dispatch services in the
future, according to the report.
The county is currently planning to
build a new facility at the Circle Star
office building property in San Carlos
that will include additional capacity for
fire, law and ambulance dispatch.
Fire and medical dispatch for the
countys 15 different fire departments is
handled all at the countys communica-
tions center.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre not careful, a
domestic confrontation over a minor infraction could
overwhelm the household. Even though the issue is
petty, it could generate major trouble.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although normally youre
pretty good about keeping your temper in check, if
youre not careful you could spontaneously overreact
should your views or opinions be challenged.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Hanging around with
friends who are notoriously extravagant or reckless
with their funds opens up the possibility of you fol-
lowing their lead. Be your own person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre at odds with
your mate over something trivial, make sure you
resolve it before going out with friends. You wont
want it to rear its ugly head when youre trying to
have a good time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be exceptionally careful
if you have to work with tools or materials with which
youre unfamiliar. You might have to keep a close eye
on a helper who could be inexperienced, as well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When out with
friends, be on your best behavior if you fnd someone
in the group to be brash or rude. If you respond in
kind, itll make you look bad, not him or her.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before establishing
a big objective, be sure its truly worthy of the trouble
it might take to achieve it and not something that you
wont appreciate once you get it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your manner of
expression could make a much stronger impression
than you are likely to intend. Thus, be sure that what
you say enhances your image, not damages it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Being a bit of a risk
taker, you could easily jump into something that is
fnancially way over your head. Be particularly wary
of anything that seems too good to be true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think twice before pull-
ing the rug out from under a direct competitor. The
consequences of your actions could take you down
along with him or her.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of vowing to
eventually correct a mistake you made, take action
the moment you realize your gaffe. The longer you
wait, the worse itll get.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Theres a chance you
could get caught up in a situation in which the posi-
tion you want to take opposes the will of the majority.
Dont try to fght city hall on your own.
