City seeks cash to aid Ralston

Belmont applies for $8 million in local, state grants to fund construction
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After nearly two years of discussing how to improve safety and

mobility for all users of Ralston
Avenue, Belmont officials are
seeking nearly $8 million in
grants to help fund long-awaited
improvements to the citys

busiest thoroughfare.
The east-west road connecting
State Route 92 to Highway 101
carries nearly 40,000 vehicles per
day and numerous pedestrians as
well as bicyclists who traverse the
busy street lined with businesses,
schools and churches.
Last week, the City Council
approved committing about $1

million of its own money as it

seeks nearly $8 million from the
San Mateo County Transportation
Authoritys
voter-approved
Measure A tax fund. But seeking to
diversify its options, the city has
also applied to Caltrans for the
same amount in an Active
Transportation Plan grant, according to city officials.

Im very hopeful that we get

this grant. It would be a huge
thing for Belmont. Ralston needs
some traffic and safety improvements and the council engaged the
community and came up with an
excellent conceptual plan, said
Councilman Charles Stone.
The city held numerous community meetings and public hearings

while crafting the Ralston Avenue

Corridor Study and Transportation
Improvements Plan unanimously
approved by the council in
August.
After breaking the diverse road
into three geographical segments,
consultants proposed a range of

Board takes Burlingame property off

Thousands of revelers marched in the Pride Parade in San Francisco Sunday following the U.S. Supreme Courts
decision Friday to legalize same-sex marriage.

Pride on
display

The long-term future of

Peninsula High School will continue to hang in limbo, but students of the alternative program
can be certain they will not be
attending classes on Mahler Road
in Burlingame, under a decision by
the San Mateo Union District
Board of Trustees.
The district will disengage in
negotiations to purchase a piece
of property that had been considered as a potential home for the
districts alternative school program, which is currently located
on the Crestmoor campus in San
Bruno, according to a board deci-

sion made Thursday, June 25.

Officials expressed a variety of
concerns regarding the property at
875 Mahler Road, including the
cost of the renovations necessary
to make it fit for use, so they elected to let a previously established
deadline pass without reaching an
agreement to purchase the Crown
Building.
Trustees unanimously agreed
during the board meeting to move
on from considering the property
in Burlingame, but also postponed
making a variety of other decisions regarding district facilities
such as where to house Peninsula
High School, the districts special

eliminating the problematic interchange just south at Poplar

SpaceX launch ends
in failure, rocket erupts
An unmanned SpaceX rocket carrying supplies and a first-of-its-kind
docking port to the International
Space Station broke apart Sunday
shortly after liftoff. It was a severe
blow to NASA, still reeling from previous failed shipments.
The accident happened about 2 1/2
minutes into the flight from Cape
Canaveral, Florida. A billowing white
cloud emerged in the sky, growing
bigger and bigger, then fiery plumes
shot out of where the rocket was supposed to be, and pieces could be seen
falling into the Atlantic. More than
5,200 pounds of space station cargo
were on board, including the first
docking port designed for future commercial crew capsules.
We appear to have had a launch
vehicle failure, announced NASA
commentator George Diller. Data
stopped flowing from the Falcon 9
rocket around 2 minutes and 19 seconds, he said. No astronauts were on
board.
The rocket shattered while traveling
at 2,900 mph, about 27 miles up.
Everything appeared to go well in the
flight until the rocket went supersonic.
SpaceX founder and chief executive
Elon Musk later said an over pressurization occurred in the liquid-oxygen
tank of the rockets upper stage.

This Dragon had been carrying

replacement food, clothes and science
experiments for items lost in those
two mishaps. The seven previous
SpaceX supply runs, dating back to
2012, had gone exceedingly well.
This is a blow to us, Gerstenmaier
told reporters, citing the docking
port, a spacesuit and considerable
research that had been on board. The
space agency expected losses, just not
three in under a year, he said.
The three space station residents
were watching the launch live from
orbit, including astronaut Scott Kelly.
Sadly failed, Kelly said via
Twitter. Space is hard.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden
and other officials stressed that the
space station crew is in no immediate
trouble because of this latest loss.
Late last week, NASAs space station
program manager, Mike Suffredini,
said the outpost had enough supplies
on board to make it to October or so.
Russia expects to take another crack
at launching supplies on Friday from
Kazakhstan. And the Japanese Space
Agency is on track to send up supplies
in August.
But it wasnt immediately clear
whether Russias plans to launch three
more men on July 22 would stay on
track. Retired Canadian astronaut
Chris Hadfield a former station
commander said the supply situation could prompt another delay in
sending up the crew.

Thats all we can say with confidence right now, Musk said via
Twitter. Will have more to say following a thorough fault tree analysis.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell
assured reporters, at an early afternoon
news conference, that the company
will fix the problem and get back
to flight.
She declined to speculate on what it
would take to resume launches. She
said the company had followed all procedures with respect to safety.
Losing this shipment which
included replacements for items lost in
two previous failed supply flights
was a huge setback for NASA in more
than one way. The space agency is
counting on private industry to transport cargo and eventually astronauts to the orbiting lab. The
California-based SpaceX is one of the
contenders.
This is a tough day, said NASAs
top spaceflight official, William
Gerstenmaier. He said there was nothing common among the three accidents, other than its space and its
difficult to go fly.
This is the second failed station
shipment in a row and the third in
eight months.
In April, a Russian cargo ship spun
out of control and burned up upon reentry, along with all its precious contents. And last October, an Orbital
Sciences Corp. supply ship was
destroyed in a launch accident.

edwood City is getting ready for its

popular Fourth of July parade with
few people realizing the citys
most famous Independence Day parade never
happened.
At one point, our parade may have been
the largest in Norcal when organizations
from the coast and Central Valley came to

said Robert Slusser, spokesman for the
Peninsula Celebration Association. The
association has been overseeing the parade
since 1939, although the city had sporadic
parades on July 4 starting in the 1880s.
The most famous Redwood City Fourth of
July parade, of course, took place in 1928
when soon-to-be president Herbert Hoover
waved to cheering spectators from a touring
car that also held smiling city officials. At
least that was the script that was followed in
BC times, BC meaning Before Computers.
Three years ago, researchers at the
Redwood City Library history room discovered that there was no July 4th parade in
Redwood City in 1928, even though some
historical markers claim there was and
Hoover rode in it, later staying at the
Sequoia Hotel. What? Theres that picture of
a smiling Hoover in the open car on a street
where one building has a sign with the
words Redwood City on it. And Redwood
City Mayor Henry Beeger is riding with
him. Yes, but it wasnt, as usually claimed,

information is contained in several official
city publications, including a 1976 plan-

New trend for startup co-founders couples counseling

By Alexandra Holterman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Jonathan
Horowitz

Though the startup dream is a Silicon

Valley standard, success is often elusive. Money and timing certainly play
a part in the outcome of a startup, yet
its often the relationship of the
founders that determines whether a

startup sinks or swims.

To avoid becoming one of the nine
out of 10 startups that sink, many
founders are turning to a solution often
reserved for more personal relationships couples counseling.
Psychologist Jonathan Horowitz is
one such counselor who has recently
expanded his clientele to include start-

up co-founders.
Horowitz, who has a background in
clinical and organizational psychology, began seeing couples and individuals at his private practice in San
Francisco. He also has an office in
Menlo Park. He soon realized many of
his clients struggled with work-related
issues, which he attributed to the Bay

Areas emphasis on career success and

achievement.
I started getting some requests from
people who saw that I was a couples
therapist and had this background
doing organizational work, he said.

Mountain lion seen walking near school

BAY CITY NEWS

A mountain lion was seen casually strolling through a residential neighborhood and near an elementary school near the northern
border of San Mateo on Friday
night, police said.
Police said they were first called
to the area of Bellevue Avenue and
Clark Drive in the San Mateo Park
neighborhood around 10:15 p.m.
Friday on a report of a possible
mountain lion sighting.

Witnesses told police they had

seen the cat walking west on the
100 block of West Poplar Avenue.
They described it as weighing
around 100 pounds.
Police received a second report
around 11:30 p.m. about a mountain lion walking through the
campus gate of Park School at 161
Clark Drive, a short distance from
the first reported sighting.
Police searched the area and an
officer briefly saw the cat walking
north from the school campus.

No further sightings have been

reported, and police said in all
sightings the mountain lion was
calm and not behaving aggressively in any way.
Police notified school officials
and the Department of Fish and
Wildlife, and sent out a community alert. In a statement, police said
that such sightings have become
more frequent due to the drought,
which has drawn deer down from
the hills into more densely populated neighborhoods. Police noted

Whitey Bulger writes to teens

in letter: My life was wasted
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Former Boston

crime boss James Whitey Bulger
had some advice for three high
school girls who wrote to him for
a history project: Crime doesnt
pay.
The 85-year-old sent the handwritten letter, dated Feb. 24, from
federal prison in Florida where he
is serving two life sentences, The
Boston Globe reported Sunday.
My life was wasted and spent
foolishly, brought shame and suffering on my parents and siblings
and will end soon, Bulger wrote.
He went on to write: Advice is a
cheap commodity some seek it
from me about crime I know
only one thing for sure If you
want to make crime pay Go to
Law School.

Former FBI informant

Bulger, a former FBI informant
whose case brought scrutiny to the
agency, was convicted in 2013 on
racketeering charges that included
playing a role in 11 murders. He
spent 16 years as one of the
nations most wanted fugitives
before he was captured in
California in 2011. His lawyers
are appealing his conviction
before the federal appeals court in
Boston next month.
Three 17-year-old students at

school. They posted the letter on a

website they created about
Bulgers life.
Bulger complained in the letter
that he is a myth created by the
media in part to hurt his brother
William, a former president of the
state Senate and of the University
of Massachusetts. He said his
brother is A Better Man than I.
Bulger said he himself dropped out
of school in ninth grade and took
the wrong road.

Remorse for victims?

Whitey Bulger
Apponequet
Regional
High
School in Lakeville chose him for
their National History Day competition entry on leadership and
legacy.
One of the students, Brittany
Tainsh, said she was stunned to get
his letter.
It wasnt what we were expecting at all, she told the newspaper.
He did not really reply to any of
our actual questions. He was very
apologetic.
She and classmates Michaela
Arguin and Mollykate Rodenbush
said they chose Bulger for their
project to try to stand out among
the other entries and to learn about
someone they hadnt studied in

Patricia Donahue, whose husband was shot to death by Bulger

in 1982, told the Globe the letter
doesnt express remorse for his
victims.
I dont think hes changed at
all, she said.
Bulgers lawyer declined to comment.
The students project took first
place in the district but didnt
place in the state competition,
though it won two special awards.
Robert Powers, the social studies
teacher supervising the project,
said the girls took a creative risk
that succeeded even if they didnt
win.
They have contributed to our
historical
understanding
of
Whitey Bulger, and to me, thats
what this program is all about, he
said.

that mountain lion attacks on

humans are extremely rare, but
said they would keep the community informed of sightings.
First and foremost SMPD will
do everything possible to ensure
the safety of our community during a potential mountain lion
sighting, the statement said.
But as we have demonstrated in
the past, we will also take every
reasonable precaution necessary
to protect the animal as well.
Residents are warned to avoid

feeding deer, since it is illegal in

California and can attract mountain
lions. Avoid jogging and hiking in
wooded areas at dawn, dusk and at
night, when mountain lions are
most active, and keep a close watch
on small children in such areas.
Those who encounter a mountain lion should not approach, but
should stand their ground, make
noise and try to look bigger by
waving your arms. Throw rocks
and other objects, and pick up
small children, police said.

Financing plan for

stadium called lousy
deal for the Raiders
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Finance experts

say a long-awaited plan for a new
Raiders stadium is a lousy deal for
the team and will make a potential
return to Los Angeles even more
attractive.
The Oakland Tribune reported
Saturday that its newspaper group
had obtained a brief of the plan and
asked finance experts to vet
details.
The plan submitted to Oakland
and Alameda County leaders by
San Diego-based businessman
Floyd Kephart calls for the
Raiders, the NFL and future stadium
revenues to finance the proposed
$900 million facility. The plan
also calls for the Raiders to sell off
a portion of its club to Kepharts
company.

Self-fund
Sports business analysts said
they couldnt recall another stadium deal that required an NFL owner
to essentially self-fund a stadium
and sell off a piece of the team to
do it. Raiders officials did not
return calls Friday. Kephart
declined comment.

This is not just the worst stadium proposal Ive seen, said Marc
Ganis, president of consulting
firm SportsCorp Ltd. and a veteran
of numerous NFL stadium deals,
including the one that brought the
Raiders back from Los Angeles.
Its the worst by far.
Its so one-sided and so bad,
that its almost as if local leaders
are saying: We cant really do
anything, so go ahead and leave,
Ganis said.

Los Angeles
Robert Boland, a professor of
sports business at New York
University, added: This does create
a scenario by which Los Angeles
becomes more attractive.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf
said she could not comment
because Kepharts submittal is
confidential. If the council and
Alameda County Board of

A former cop who killed shares lessons on deadly force

By Martha Irvine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES It all happened in seconds. But those brief

moments would forever change
life for David Klinger, a selfdescribed beach kid whod
dreamt of being a police officer
since he was a kid. Hed entered
the Los Angeles Police Academy
in 1981 with a clear motive. He
wanted to try to help make life
better for the people of violenceridden south-central Los Angeles.
Now he was standing with his
gun pointed at Edward Randolph,
who at 26 was just three years
older than himself. Randolph had
a butcher knife aimed at the throat
of Klingers police partner,
Dennis Azevedo, who was on the
ground trying with all his might
to hold back Randolphs attack.
Shoot him, Azevedo cried out
to his rookie partner.
Deadly force by police has made
headlines
from
Ferguson,
Missouri, to Baltimore. Just this
month, a Los Angeles police officer was found unjustified in
shooting and killing a 25-yearold mentally ill man. Across the
country, most officers are exonerated. But more and more people are
calling for strategies to make such
incidents less common, notably
through improved police training.
For Klinger, it has long been a
very personal issue one that led
a young cop who entered the kill
zone, as officers call it, to
become a researcher seeking to

David Klinger

understand the
dynamics
of
confrontation.
In doing so, he
hopes to be a
voice of reason
in an emotional
n a t i o n a l
debate, and an
advocate
for
change.

Gang warfare
When Klinger showed up in his
ranks on the night shift, Tim
Anderson, then an LAPD sergeant,
wasnt sure he was the kind of
recruit whod make it in neighborhoods plagued with gang warfare.
Klinger, a quiet, devout
Christian, whose dad was a classical clarinet player, had moved to
California from Miami, at age 13,
with his mom and two sisters after
his parents split up. Heres a kid
from a very mild-mannered side of
life who ends up here, Anderson
says.
But Klinger was determined. I
actually asked for this to be my
assignment out of the academy,
he says, sitting in a restaurant
north of Los Angeles after revisiting the scene of Randolphs
shooting.
That night in 1981, he was
teamed with Azevedo when they
were called to a home where an
armed burglar had been reported.
As a police helicopter circled
overhead, a large crowd gathered

to watch across busy Vernon

Avenue.
Get out of here! the officers
yelled. Most spectators ran,
except Randolph.
Azevedo says he didnt think
Randolph could hear him, or
maybe didnt speak English. So he
ran across the street to try to get
him to move.
In the blink of an eye,
Azevedo recalls how Randolph
lunged forward and stabbed him in
the lower chest with a blow
stopped just barely by his
protective vest. Stunned, Azevedo
tried to draw his gun, but he
tripped on uneven pavement, he
says and Randolph jumped on
him with the knife raised.
Rushing over, Klinger grabbed
Randolphs left wrist, but
Randolph broke free. Klinger
pulled his own gun and fired at
close range.
I blamed myself for 20 years
for not being able to wrest the
knife from him, he says.
Investigators ultimately determined the fatal shooting was justified and that the rookie officer had
saved Azevedos life. But Klinger
still found it difficult to rest easy.
In the year that followed, there
were nine more times he says he
could have shot a civilian and
believes he would have been justified in doing so. But he but didnt
shoot because the suspects
dropped guns, or other officers
intervened.
Feeling like a magnet for trouble, he moved to a smaller depart-

ment in Redmond, Washington.

But he found no better fit there. It
was time for something new.
Today, the 57-year-old Klinger
is a professor in the department of
criminology and criminal justice
at the University of Missouri-St.
Louis. He earned a doctorate and
has written a book, Into the Kill
Zone, telling the stories of officers whove shot and killed people.

Avoid deadly force

He also has done research on
methods officers can use to avoid
deadly force. This spring, testifying at a U. S. Civil Rights
Commission hearing on deadly
force, one topic he discussed was
tactical positioning, a strategy
in which officers keep a safe distance, unless there is imminent
danger.
Often times, officers find themselves in too close, too quickly,
and they dont have any option
other than to shoot their way out
of it, Klinger says. Thats where
I really think we fall down in
American law enforcement.
He uses last years police shooting of Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri, as an example. Though he agrees that Officer
Darren Wilson was justified in
shooting Brown, he also says that
shooting might have been avoided if Wilson had waited and called
for backup.
Such assessments anger some.

But Klinger says police agencies

must ask, What can we learn from
this?
Even now, there is disagreement
among Klingers own former colleagues about whether the 1981
killing of Edward Randolph could
have been avoided. They agree
that Klinger was justified in the
shooting.
But Anderson, their sergeant,
says Azevedo should have ignored
Randolph and let him take his
chances as they pursued the burglar, who ultimately got away. He
shouldve never engaged this suspect by himself, says Anderson,
a former SWAT team supervisor,
whos retired and now advises
police departments on tactical
operations.
Azevedo, also retired after a
long law enforcement career,
stands by his decision. He says it
was his duty to try to protect a person he thought was an innocent
bystander.
Either way, Klinger has let go of
his guilt with the help of a counselor who, as he puts it, helped his
heart accept that he did what he
had to do.
Speaking of Randolph, he says,
Hes 26 years old. His whole life
was driven by other people
besides me. So why should I blame
myself for my inability to control
him for that one second that I was
in physical contact with him?
It has been, perhaps, the most
difficult lesson the professor has
learned.

Lightning strikes spark new wildfires Medical pot sales to

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Hundreds

of lightning strikes overnight
have sparked three dozen new
wildfires in Northern California,
authorities said Sunday.
The 36 blazes triggered by 800
lightning strikes were small and
many were quickly put out, according to the California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Many of the lightning-caused
fires torched trees in rugged terrain
thats only accessible by hiking,

the U.S. Forest Service said.

Meanwhile, about 3,000 firefighters continued to make
progress on five large wildfires
around the state.
Showers on Sunday helped crews
make gains on a wildfire in the San
Bernardino National Forest, which
barely grew in size overnight.
The blaze, which erupted on June
17, was 50 percent contained after
scorching 48 square miles of
desert brush and forest timber.
Firefighters hoped to take advantage of the weather to mop up and

further surround the fire.

Authorities reopened a highway,
and mandatory evacuations were
lifted except for community of
Burns Canyon. Hiking trails and
camp sites remained closed. The
firefighting effort has cost $27
million so far.
The fire destroyed a house and
three out-buildings. A team of
experts will continue to evaluate
the fire area for further damage,
the Forest Service said in a statement. Four firefighters were treated for injuries.

Time will tell if furling the rebel flag means deeper change
By Allen G. Breed
and Jay Reeves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Across

the South, Confederate symbols
are toppling, teetering or at least
getting critical new looks. But is
it a sign of real change in a region
known for fiercely defending its
complex traditions, or simply the
work of frightened politicians and
nervous corporate bean counters
scrambling for cover in the wake
of another white-on-black atrocity?
Probably a bit of both, says
author Tracy Thompson. But, so
what?
Im sure theres a lot of expedient backtracking going on, said
Thompson, who wrote The New
Mind of the South. If its going
in the right direction, who cares?
One who does care is the Rev.
Joseph Darby a longtime friend
of Clementa Pinckney, one of
nine slain during a Bible study at a

black church in Charleston, South

Carolina. And he thinks its a bit
premature to declare this a new
New South, as some commentators have suggested.
Taking down those flags is not
that big a deal,
he said of Gov.
Nikki
Haleys
call to remove
the Confederate
battle flag from
the statehouse
lawn
and
Alabama Gov.
Robert Bentleys order Wednesday
to take down four rebel banners
from a memorial at his capitol.
Some citizens have long taken
offense to the flags, which they
associate with racial conflict.
There are a few other things on
the agenda, Darby said, including
improving public education and
equal justice. But Darby, who has
been fighting since 1999 to bring
down the Confederate flag, said, I
think its a first step that hopeful-

ly will lead to real change. If nothing else changes, itll ultimately

be cosmetic.
Still, even skeptics like Darby
have to concede that the speed and
geographic spread with which
these developments
have
occurred are nothing short of historic. Governors
in Virginia and
North Carolina
say the battle
flag should come
off specialty license plates;
Georgia has stopped issuing the
plates, and a bill to do the same
was introduced by a Tennessee legislator; Arkansas-based Wal-Mart
vowed to stop selling all
Confederate gear.
Im looking for snow in South
Carolina any day now, Darby
deadpanned as the temperatures
hovered near triple digits.
One of the ways the South
changes is through embarrass-

Christie to embrace underdog

role as he launches 2016 bid
By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON, N.J. When New Jersey

Gov. Chris Christie enters the race for president this week, hell do so as an underdog.
The launch of the Republican governors
White House campaign is the culmination
of years of groundwork that began even
before his landslide re-election to a second
term as governor in 2013, but one nearly
felled by scandal and a descent from his
standing as one of the nations most popular state leaders to a politician whose
approval ratings have reached record lows at
home.
Its a reality Christie and his supporters
are ready to embrace, not that they have a
choice.
Clearly, hes got some uphill work to be
done, said Ken Langone, a co-founder of
Home Depot and one of Christies most vocal
cheerleaders. But I think it can be done.
In recent months, Christies team has
tried to re-establish him as a credible candidate chock-full of policy prescriptions. His
aides and supporters talk about his charismatic personality, quick wit and plain-spoken manner, which they believe can win
over voters at town hall events and on
debate stages.
With so many candidates in the field
Christie will be the 14th major Republican
to enter the race, with two more likely
before summers end and no clear frontrunner, they say they can forge a path to the
GOP nomination.
The worst position to be in is that of the
media-anointed front-runner, said Phil

Cox, who founded the

America Leads super PAC
that will back Christies
campaign. The fact is,
there is no front-runner,
and anyone who tells you
differently doesnt know
what theyre talking
about.
Christie will kick off
Chris Christie
his campaign at the
gymnasium of his old high school in
Livingston, New Jersey, where he served in
student government and played for the celebrated baseball team. His remarks will reintroduce him to a national audience and draw
heavily on his biography.
Christie often emphasizes his workingclass roots, telling the story of his father,
who paid his way through college while
working at a Breyers ice cream plant. Its an
implicit contrast with former Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush, whose family name and flush
campaign accounts Christie will now be up
against.
With a new slogan Telling it like it is
Christie will also play up his brash persona, presenting himself as someone
unafraid to take on unpopular issues such as
overhauling Social Security and Medicare.
The message aims to move Christie past
the moments that have defined him since
2012, when Langone was among those
pleading with him to get into the presidential race. They include the actions of three
former aides, charged with creating politically motivated traffic jams to retaliate
against a Democratic mayor who passed on
endorsing Christies re-election.

Insurance requirements for

eating disorders set to change
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Missouri is set

to be the first state in the nation to spell out
the type of eating disorder treatments that
insurance companies must cover, a move
advocates say will ensure families have
access to care for not just the physical
aspect but also the underlying mental
issues.
Families of those struggling with eating
disorders such as anorexia and bulimia have
complained for years that patients are
kicked out of treatment prematurely and risk
relapsing, despite Missouris current laws
mandating insurance companies to cover
treatment of mental illnesses the same way
physical ailments are.
Paying for continued treatment out-of-

pocket can be too expensive for some families, which a bill signed this month by Gov.
Jay Nixon aims to keep from happening.
The new law, which will go into effect in
August, could pave the way for similar policies in other states, according to Kerry
Dolan, who leads the legislative advocacy
program of the National Eating Disorders
Association.
Dolan said while other states have vague
laws requiring treatment of eating disorders,
Missouris law is the first she knows of to
fully define treatment that must be covered
by insurance companies.
What the measure does is fix a gap in what
insurance companies should pay for and
whats actually being covered, Missouri
Eating Disorders Association board
President Annie Seals said.

ment, or through some incident,

said Ferrel Guillory, an expert on
Southern
culture
at
the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
The June 17 massacre at
Charlestons Emanuel African
Methodist Episcopal Church,
allegedly by a self-described white
supremacist named Dylann Roof,
was just such an incident.
Something dramatic happened
something tragic that stunned
people, said Guillory, director of
UNCs Program on Public Life.
And its got them to move.
But people said the same things
in 1955, when 14-year-old
Emmett Till was kidnapped, tortured, shot and tossed into a
Mississippi river with a cotton
gin motor around his neck.
They said it again in 1963,
when a Ku Klux Klan bomb tore
through Birminghams Sixteenth
Street Baptist Church, killing
four black girls on a Sunday
morning.

Yes, those crimes helped galvanize the civil rights movement

and pave the way for the Civil
Rights and Voting Rights acts.
But challenges to Jim Crow also
prompted states like South
Carolina to hoist the Confederate
battle flag atop their capitol
domes in defiance, said James C.
Cobb, a professor of history at the
University of Georgia.
There were plenty of white
Southerners all during the civil
rights movement who knew deep
down that supporting what was
going on not only supporting
racial discrimination, but supporting violence and the kinds of
forms of resistance that white
Southerners were putting up
was wrong, said Cobb, author of
the book Away Down South,
about the regions identity. But
they kept eyeing each other, hoping that somebody else would be
the one to make the first move.
And so it took forever and ever and
ever for that to happen.

Iran nuke talks to miss target

By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA A senior U.S. official acknowledged Sunday that

Iran nuclear talks will go past
their June 30 target date, as Irans
foreign minister prepared to head
home for consultations before
returning to push for a breakthrough.
Iranian media said Mohammed
Javad Zarifs trip was planned in
advance. Still, the fact that he was
leaving the talks so close to what
had been the Tuesday deadline
reflected both that the talks had a
ways to go and his need to get
instructions on how to proceed on
issues where the sides remain apart
among them how much access
Tehran should give to U. N.
experts monitoring his countrys
compliance to any deal.
The United States insists on
more intrusive monitoring than
Iran is ready to give. With these
and other disputes still unre-

solved, the likelihood that the

Tuesday target deadline for an Iran
nuclear deal could slip was increasingly growing even before the
U.S. confirmation.
The dispute over access surfaced
again Sunday, with Iranian Gen.
Masoud Jazayeri saying that any
inspection by foreigners of Irans
military centers is prohibited.
He said the attempt by the U.S.
and its allies to obtain Irans military information for years ... by
the pressure of sanctions will not
succeed.
But German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who
joined the talks Friday, said Irans
nuclear activities, no matter
where they take place, must be
verifiable.
Officials said they could not
speculate on how many days
extension the talks would need.
But Zarif told reporters that he
planned to come back only on
Tuesday, the day the negotiations
were originally supposed to end

with a deal.
U . S .
Secretary
of
State
John
Kerry and Zarif
met in Vienna
for their third
encounter since
Saturday. The
foreign minisJohn Kerry
ters of Britain,
France and Germany came and
then went, or planned to leave, in
another reflection that the sides
were not yet close to a deal.
For weeks, all seven nations at
the negotiating table insisted that
Tuesday remains the formal deadline for a deal. But with time running out, a senior U.S. official
acknowledged that was unrealistic.
Given the dates, and that we
have some work to do ... the parties are planning to remain in
Vienna beyond June 30 to continue working, said the official, who
demanded anonymity in line with

State Department practice.

Asked about the chances for a
deal, Federica Mogherini, the
European Unions top diplomat,
told reporters: Its going to be
tough ... but not impossible.
Hammond spoke of major differences in the way of a deal.
Steinmeier told German media:
I am convinced that if there is no
agreement, everyone loses.
Iran would remain isolated. A
new arms race in a region that is
already riven by conflict could be
the dramatic consequence.
Both sides recognize that there
is leeway to extend to July 9. As
part of an agreement with the U.S.
Congress, lawmakers then have
30 days to review the deal before
suspending congressional sanctions. But postponement beyond
that would double the congressional review period to 60 days,
giving both Iranian and U.S. critics more time to work on undermining an agreement.
Arguing for more time to allow

the U.S. to drive a harder bargain,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu a fierce opponent of
the talks weighed in on Sunday
against this bad agreement,
which is becoming worse by the
day.
It is still not too late to go
back and insist on demands that
will genuinely deny Iran the ability to arm itself with nuclear
weapons, he said.
The goal of the talks involving
Iran and the U.S., Britain, China,
France, Germany and Russia is a
deal that would crimp Tehrans
capacity to make nuclear weapons
in exchange for sanctions relief.
Iran insists it does not want such
arms but is bargaining in
exchange for sanctions relief.
On Saturday, diplomats told The
Associated Press that Iran was
considering a U.S.-backed plan
for it to send enriched uranium to
another country for sale as reactor
fuel, a step that would resolve one
of several outstanding issues.

Tunisia launches nationwide manhunt for attack accomplices

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUSSE, Tunisia The student

who massacred holidaymakers on
a Tunisian beach and at a swank
resort hotel acted alone during the
attack but had accomplices who
supported him beforehand, an
Interior Ministry official said
Sunday.
Police were searching nationwide for more suspects after the
slaughter of at least 38 people in

Sousse on Friday, in Tunisias

deadliest ever such attack. The
attackers father and three roommates were detained and being
questioned in the capital, Tunis,
Interior Ministry spokesman
Mohamed Ali Aroui told The
Associated Press.
The attacker has been identified
as Seifeddine Rezgui, a 24-yearold graduate of Tunisias Kairouan
University where he had been living with the other students. The

attack was claimed by the radical

Islamic State group.
We are sure that others helped,
but did not participate, Aroui
said. They participated indirectly.
Investigators believe the suspected accomplices provided the
Kalashnikov assault rifle to
Rezgui and helped him get to the
scene, Aroui said.
Authorities have yet to suggest
a motive for the carnage. A securi-

ty official close to the investigation said the student frequented an

unofficial mosque in the
Tunisian holy city of Kairouan for
the past two years.
The official said a swimmer had
found the attackers cellphone in
the Mediterranean. The phone
showed the attacker spoke with
his father just before his assault,
the official said on condition of
anonymity because he wasnt
authorized to speak publicly.

Fridays attack on the Imperial

Marhaba Hotel shook this North
African nation that thrives on
tourism and has struggled since its
2011 revolution to be the one
Arab Spring country that succeeds
in transitioning from authoritarianism to democracy.

bloodshed
shocked
European nations across the

safety of their citizens who populate Tunisian beaches.

Hundreds in hospital after

fire at Taiwan music party
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAIPEI, Taiwan More than 400 people,

many of them seriously burned, remained in
hospitals Sunday after a fire spread into a
crowd of spectators at a music party at a
Taiwan water park, authorities said.
The fire late Saturday was sparked by an
accidental explosion of a colored theatrical
powder thrown from the stage in front of
about 1,000 people, the local fire agency
and media said. The powder for the one-time
event called Color Play Asia ignited
along the ground, mainly burning peoples
lower bodies, said Wang Wei-sheng, a liaison with the New Taipei City fire department command center.
The exact cause of the fire was still being
investigated, but Taiwan Premier Mao Chihkuo banned public activities that use the
colored powder.
A total of 519 people were injured by the
fire at the Formosa Water Park in New Taipei

City, according to a statement from the city

governments health bureau. It said that 419
remained hospitalized on Sunday afternoon,
about half of whom were seriously injured,
including 184 in intensive care. Apart from
Taiwanese, the victims were four people
from Hong Kong, two from the Chinese
mainland and one each from Macau, Japan,
Malaysia and Singapore. The nationalities
of three other foreigners were not given.
President Ma Ying-jeou visited burns victims at a hospital in Taipei on Sunday afternoon and said authorities would do their
best to ensure victims receive the best
medical care and find out who was responsible for the tragic incident.
Taiwans Central News Agency said that
police were questioning two park workers
who had launched the powder as well as the
partys on-site organizer and two technicians. They may face charges of professional negligence causing serious injuries and
endangering the public, it said.

A lot can change in 25 years

By Craig Wiesner

s we celebrate the success of

San Mateos third annual
pride gathering in Central
Park on June 13, and an historic victory for marriage equality in the
Supreme Court, it is quite stunning to
think of the changes weve seen happen in the last few decades for GLBTQ
people.
Twenty-ve years ago my husband
and I were the rst gay couple to be
married in the First Presbyterian
Church of Palo Alto. Back then, we
never would have imagined wed be
able to legally refer to each other as
husbands. The pastors and congregation at that church knew that they
were doing something remarkable,
promising to love and support us as
we navigated the sometimes rough
waters of living as a couple, in most
ways very similar to any other couples, but in some ways more challenged. Without legal recognition of
our marriage, there were hundreds of
ways in which our security as a couple
was threatened, nancially and emotionally.
In 2008, when the California
Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to refuse marriage licenses
to gay couples, we were the rst couple in San Mateo County to get a
license. With the county unsure of
quite how to word things, those rst
licenses referred to each person as
either Party A or Party B. For the
record, I was Party B. I remember the
joyous celebration outside the County
Courthouse as hundreds of couples
gained legal recognition for their
relationships, some who had been
together for decades, others for just a
short while. And then that joy was
crushed when voters approved
Proposition 8. Little did we realize
that the passage of that ballot measure would be a tipping point, rallying
people across the country to ght for
marriage equality state by state.
How did we do it? In part, we followed Harvey Milks sage advice:
Gay brothers and sisters,... You
must come out. Come out... to your
parents... I know that it is hard and
will hurt them but think about how

they will hurt you in the voting
booth! Come out to your relatives...
come out to your friends... if indeed
they are your friends. Come out to
your neighbors... to your fellow
workers... to the people who work
where you eat and shop... come out
only to the people you know, and
who know you. Not to anyone else.
But once and for all, break down the
myths, destroy the lies and distortions. For your sake. For their sake.
For the sake of the youngsters who
are becoming scared by the votes
from Dade to Eugene.
We came out, and the people to
whom we came out became our allies.
And they came out, as parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles,
grandparents, godparents, friends,
neighbors and colleagues of GLBTQ
people. Yes, it seemed like we were
everywhere! And soon the myths, lies
and distortions could no longer survive in the bright sunshine of truth.
And now, the Supreme Court of the
United States has ruled that marriage
is a human right to which the constitution grants equal access regardless
of the partners gender or sexual orientation. We give thanks, for the
courageous people who 25 years ago
said it was time to recognize my hus-

band and me as married. Today, there

are hundreds of thousands of other
married same-sex couples across the
United States. We give thanks for for
all the people who have fought over
these long decades for equality for all.
We give thanks that we live in a country that was founded with a constitution that can be interpreted by each
generation in new ways, while
upholding the key values with which
it was written.
Yet with those thanks also comes
responsibility. The tragedy in South
Carolina reminds us that here in the
United States and across the world,
there are others who face discrimination, violence, and death because of
who they are. We must become their
allies and ght for their freedom just
as those who had been marginalized
in the past have fought for GLBTQ
rights.
So lets celebrate a victory today
and get back to work tomorrow.
Craig Wiesner is co-founder of the
Reach And Teach book store and cultural
gift shop on 25th Av enue in San
Mateo. On April 8, he celebrated 25
y ears of marriage with his husband and

ast month I was approached by the current president of the Beresford Hillsdale Neighborhood
Association to write a column on its 25th anniversary. I replied I would be happy to do so and sent Lisa
Taner, the current president, a list of questions which
included the number of active members in the club, the
dues, the boundaries of the club, the major issues before
the club and some details about the anniversary celebration. She replied that she had to check with her board
before sending me any information. She sent me some
answers and then when I had further questions she sent me
new information to clarify her original, now supplied by a
longtime club member (Daily Journal 6/15/15). While I
was writing the column, I
heard that the organization
had invited Mimi Steele, a
member of the Tea Party to
be a featured speaker. There
was also the dissemination
of iers similar to ones the
local tea party has been
distributing to organize
protests against Plan Bay
Area, a regional plan for
locating new housing near
transportation and jobs. I
also recalled some
Facebook postings about a
nasty encounter
Councilman David Lim had
at the associations meeting. I did not know all the details until Lim wrote a letter
to the Daily Journal explaining what had happened that
night (Daily Journal 6/22/15).
On Feb. 17, I did verbally challenge Ms. Steele during
her presentation. Three other members of the audience
also confronted her. We did not challenge her because of
her party afliation. We responded to a specic comment
made by Ms. Steele. In justifying her no growth position for San Mateo, Ms. Steele stated, What is the end
result of all this smart growth and stack and pack housing? You end up with different people living here. People
different than you and me. People with different cultures
and beliefs. After confronting Ms. Steele about her prejudiced comments, some of her supporters called me a
Communist. That type of red-baiting harkens back to
the days of McCarthyism, and I confronted that bullying
head on. I respect peoples party afliations. I respect
healthy debate on the scope of development in our city.
But statements of intolerance and prejudice are never welcome in San Mateo. I will continue to speak out against
intolerance whenever and wherever it occurs.
***
If thats the kind of speaker a local homeowners group
entertains, I guess we could let it pass and say thats up to
the members. But hate speech and bigotry are dangerous
and dont belong in our local homeowners groups which
are a vital part of our city and our community. Yes controversy is ne. Concerns about growth, trafc, Plan Bay
Area and high school eld lights belong on the list of
issues to be addressed by local residents. But when an
invited guest uses bigotry to argue against smart growth
or sustainability, thats a problem. A real problem. One
cant help thinking about what happened in Charleston,
South Carolina, when a young man lled with inammatory postings online, went into a black church and killed
nine people. Someone lled him with hate. He wasnt
born with it.

Greece imposes capital controls

Banks to remain shut
THEASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece
Greek
banks will remain shut for an
unspecified time and the country is
imposing restrictions on bank
withdrawals following a recommendation by the Bank of Greece,
the countrys prime minister said
Sunday.
Sundays move comes after two
days of long lines forming at
ATMs across the country, following Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
sudden decision to call a referendum on creditor proposals for
Greek reforms in return for vital
bailout funds.
Earlier Sunday, the European
Central Bank decided not to
increase the amount of emergency
liquidity the lenders can access
from the central bank meaning
they have no way to replenish fast
diminishing deposits.
It is now more than clear that
this decision has no other aim
than to blackmail the will of the
Greek people and prevent the
smooth democratic process of the
referendum, Tsipras said in a televised address to the nation.
The referendum is set for next
Sunday. But Greeces current
bailout expires on Tuesday, and
the 7.2 billion euros ($8 billion)

remaining in it will no longer be

available to Greece after that date.
Without those funds, Greece is
unlikely to be able to pay a 1.6
billion
euro
International
Monetary Fund debt repayment
due the same day.
Tsipras gave no details of how
long banks will remain closed or
what restrictions will be placed on
transactions. Two financial sector
officials said the banks would
likely remain shut for several
days.
In the streets of Greece, worried
people queued outside banks for
cash from dawn to dusk after
Tsipras announcement in the
early hours of Saturday, after billions of euros had already been
emptied in the preceding weeks.

Bailout program expires

Greece has a 1.6 billion euro
($1. 8 billion) debt due to the
International Monetary Fund on
Tuesday and its bailout program
expires the same day, after which
it is unclear how the country
might survive financially.
The referendum is set for next
Sunday with the question on
whether to accept proposed
reforms needed to get bailout
loans from other eurozone countries and the IMF. The government
is advocating a rejection of the

proposals.
The radical left-wing leader
accused the creditors of using
blackmail and ultimatums against
his proud but struggling people.
European officials and all Greek
opposition parties except the
extremist far-right Golden Dawn
party called his move for a vote a
foolish and rash gambit that effectively ended negotiations to keep
Greece financially afloat.
The sudden move comes after
five months of stalemated negotiations, with Tsipras accusing creditors of trying to strong-arm his
country into taking harsh austerity measures he says would hammer
an economy already on its knees
after months of creditor-demanded
spending cuts and tax hikes.
They didnt ask us to agree,
they asked us to surrender our
political dignity, Tsipras said
during a tumultuous and nearly 13hour parliamentary session that
cumulated in a vote just before 3
a.m. Sunday. Out of parliaments
300 lawmakers, 178 voted in
favor and 120 against, with two
people absent.
He insisted the Greek side had
exhausted every limit of concessions so there could be an agreement, adding that perhaps some
saw that as a weakness.
The referendum move further
crumbled already strained rela-

tions between Greece and its

European partners.
Tsipras said the Greek people
would vote against a deal next
Sunday.
This no will also be a big yes,
a big yes to the decision of the
Greek government to reject an
ultimatum that insults the Greek
people.
Tsipras dismissed harsh criticism from other European countries on his decision.
The referendum will take place
as scheduled, next Sunday,
whether our partners want it or
not, he said.

Request for extension

Eurozone finance ministers earlier rejected Greek Finance
Minister Yanis Varoufakis request
for a one-month extension to the
bailout program, with Varoufakis
then leaving the meeting.
Its a sad day for Europe, but we
will overcome it, he said.
The other 18 finance ministers
then huddled without him to assess
how to minimize the damage from
the Greek crisis on their currency.
Our institutions are and will be
prepared to take any action if
needed, said top eurozone official
Jeroen Dijsselbloem of fears that
financial turbulence might extend
to the rest of the currency bloc.

Fellow ministers spoke candidly

about the risks of a Greek exit
from the euro in a way that would
have been inconceivable only
weeks ago.
The ministers stressed Greece
remained in the eurozone for now,
and Dijsselbloem said the
eurogroup stands ready to reconvene to take appropriate decisions
where needed, in the interest of
Greece as euro area member.
Without a bailout program
extension or more loans from
creditors, Greece is likely to be in
arrears on a debt payment due the
same day. Its banks face the risk of
collapse.
The Greek authorities have
asked for a month extension. But
in that month there can be no disbursements, Dijsselbloem said.
How does the Greek government
think that it will survive and deal
with its problems in that period? I
do not know.
Frances finance minister,
Michel Sapin, stressed a deal was
still possible and that he was
ready to act as a go-between
among Greece and the creditors
after relations neared a breaking
point.
Dijsselbloem refused to slam the
door full shut. The door is open.
It was not the institutions that
walked away from the last talks
last night.

Grateful Dead enthrall faithful in High-speed rail

first of five final shows at Levis remains elusive
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The songs

still ran long. To the uninitiated,
the communal rituals of the faithful fans probably looked strange.
Was it trippy? Well, this was a
Grateful Dead show, after all, the
first in a handful over the next
week that are said to be the last.
The four surviving members of
the Dead, joined by a trio of wellversed companions, launched their
Fare Thee Well mini-tour
Saturday night in Northern
California, where the legendary
jam band got its start 50 years ago
and almost two decades after the
death of beloved lead guitarist
Jerry Garcia.
During a performance that featured a little more than 3 1/2 hours
of music, the groups so-called
core four rhythm guitarist
Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh and
percussionists Mickey Hart and
Bill Kreutzmann unreeled a set
list featuring both crowd-pleasers
and obscure pieces from their early
catalog.
The band got the Levis Stadium
crowd of about 80,000 into its customary loose-limbed groove at the
start with familiar renditions of
Truckin and Uncle Johns
Band. From there, the rest of the
first set veered unevenly through
Cumberland Blues, Born CrossEyed and a 20-minute-long
Viola Lee Blues that gave Phish
front man Trey Anastasio, who had
the honor and pressure of serving
as Garcias surrogate on guitar, his
first challenge on a solo.
As Viola Lee was ending, a
rainbow arced across the sky
above the stadium like a smile
from beyond.
The majority of the audience,
which included former flower chil-

dren with more than a touch of
gray in their hair as well as millennials who were babies when
Garcia died were inclined to
appreciate every chord, so grateful
were they just to be there.
Im in the right place at the
right time and all the right people
are here with me and its all perfect, said Sabrina Donahue, 47 of
Montana, who attended the show
with her best hippie soul sister
a veteran of over 300 Dead
shows in the late 1980s who now
works as a school district superintendent in California.
The only difference is were
keeping our shoes on now, the
educator, Michelle Hutchins, 47,
said.
The parking lots around the stadium had more Subarus and luxury
sedans than VW buses. There were
fewer vendors selling tie-dyed Tshirts, glass pipes and jewelry
than in the past, but enough to
remind tailgating concert-goers

they were in the right place.

I have this feeling about all the
bands from the 60s you want to
see them one more time because
they gave you so much, said Larry
Johnson, 64, of Seattle, who went
with three college buddies.
The second half of Saturdays
show got off to a slow start as the
reunion band, which included
Bruce Hornsby on piano and keyboards, struggled to find its footing on Thats It For The Other
One and Dark Star.
To me, this show feels like a
big rehearsal, Erik Keegan, 39,
of Southern California observed,
adding that he was still enjoying
himself. The notes are all there
but they dont add up.
The energy started to rebuild
when they tackled the iconic St.
Stephen. Anastasio delivered his
finest fretwork on the song. Per
Dead
tradition,
Hart
and
Kreutzmann fully re-engaged the
audience with Space, an improvised percussive interplay accompanied by rhythmic psychedelic
graphics.
Bob Weir, the former baby-faced
band heartthrob who now has a full
head of white hair and a bushy
beard that makes him resemble the
Lorax, came alive while singing
Thats It For the Other One and
taking the vocal duties that used to
fall to Garcia on Morning Dew.
The Grateful Dead are scheduled to
play a second show in Santa Clara on
Sunday before heading to Chicago
for three shows at Soldier Field on
July 3, 4 and 5. Soldier Field is where
they last played as a group before
Garcias death at age 53.
Although the original band
members say July 5 will be the last
time they perform together, they
all have their own bands or musical projects and have teamed up as
pairs for select gigs.

SACRAMENTO Travelers easily whiz from city to city on highspeed trains in many parts of
South America, Asia and Europe.
Since the first high-speed lines
began operating more than 50
years ago in Japan, they have
become an essential part of transportation worldwide.
Yet the U.S. has never built a
single mile of high-speed rail,
which is generally defined as
accommodating trains that go at
least 200 mph. And proposals to
do so have been thwarted for
decades.
So whats holding America
back?
For starters, a much larger land
mass, longer distances between
major cities and the high cost of
construction. Other factors include
efficient air travel, relatively low
prices for gasoline and a car-based
culture.
The challenge in America is the
scale of America, said Robert
Eckels, chief executive of the

Texas Central High Speed

Railway, a private venture that is
planning a bullet train between
Dallas and Houston.
In recent decades, political pressure against bullet trains has come
from conservatives who argue that
such systems should acquire private financial backing and prove
that their operations will at minimum be cost-neutral.
Its a burden state and federal
governments do not place on
other huge transportation projects such as freeways and airports.
For now, the best the country
can do is Amtraks Acela, which
reaches speeds up to 150 mph on a
busy route between Washington
and Boston.
In an effort to jump-start highspeed rail, the Obama administration in 2009 awarded $7 billion
for projects in California, Florida
and Wisconsin. Republican governors in Florida and Wisconsin
rejected the funding and backed out
of high-speed rail plans, sending
more of those dollars to
California.

Prosecutor: Is Uber operating

illegally in Jefferson Parish?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRETNA, La. Jefferson

Parish Attorney Deborah Foshee
says shes looking into whether
the ride-hailing service Uber is
operating illegally in the New
Orleans suburb.
The San Francisco-based company said it is now operating in
Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes. Foshee emailed council members Saturday, saying Uber
Technologies Inc. lacks licens-

ing, certificates and authority to

operate in Jefferson Parish.
Council members have gone to
great length to facilitate Ubers
legal entry into the market,
Foshee wrote. Any attempt to
enter the market in violation of
current law would subject Uber to a
cease and desist order.
Uber said Jefferson Parish does
not have any regulations that
specifically deal with its business,

Bumgarner bullies Rox

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO With his

arm and bat, Madison Bumgarner
keeps piling up impressive numbers.
Bumgarner hit his eighth career
home run and also struck out his
1,000th batter, leading the San
Francisco Giants over the
Colorado Rockies 6-3 Sunday.
The World Series MVP had
already singled and scored when he
hit a solo homer in the seventh
inning.
Thats a special moment,
Bumgarner said. Anything to

help us put runs on the board.

Buster Posey drove in three runs
for San Francisco, and Matt Duffy
was a single short of the cycle.
Brandon Crawford connected for
his 10th homer, matching his
career-best total from last season.
Bumgarner (8-4) allowed two
runs on Nolan Arenados 23rd
homer in the first and five hits in
7 2/3 innings.
Bumgarner was proud to reach
the four-digit mark in strikeouts.
Thats
pretty
special,
Bumgarner said. You have to
spend some time here and be able
to have that success.
Bumgarner became the youngest

Giant in San Francisco history to

fan 1,000, the 13th pitcher in
franchise history and the third
left-hander, joining Hall of Famer
Carl Hubbell and former Cy Young
winner Mike McCormick.
Bum, he did it all, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He
pitched great after that first
inning, started a rally with a single and then the home run.
Arenado added another homer in
the ninth against Sergio Romo.
Javier Lopez then retired Carlos
Gonzalez, and Santiago Casilla
got two outs for his 21st save.

District 52 tourney
opens with a bang
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

PALO ALTO Opening day for

the District 52 Majors Tournament
certainly went San Mateos way.
One of five cities in District 52
to be represented by two teams in
the 16-team pool, San Mateos
squads each scored in double-digits Saturday at Hoover Park. San
Mateo National opened the tourney with a 10-0 victory over Palo
Alto. San Mateo American followed that with a 14-0 drubbing of
Belmont-Redwood Shores. Both
games were abbreviated to four
innings due to the mercy rule.
American kept rolling in
Sundays second-round matchup,
downing Menlo-Atherton 15-1.
National, however, fell 4-3 to
Hillsborough
Sunday
at
Middlefield Park; the outcome is
something of an upset consider-

ing the same National team won

the 11-year-old District 52 tournament last season.
San Mateo American manager
P.J. Jeremiah gave a respectful nod
to his crosstown rivals when
asked, hypothetically, what kind
of team San Mateo could field if
they combined the two teams.
Theyre serious over there,
P.J. Jeremiah said. It would be
really good, but it would be tough
to pick guys.
P.J. Jeremiahs team has been
surging with the offensive presence of Peter Halpin at the top of
the batting order. Americans No.
2 hitter has gone 7 for 8 through
his first two games, blasting three
home runs, including a grand slam
to straightaway center field
Sunday.
Halpin also earned the win on
the mound in Saturdays opener,
firing 3 2/3 innings, allowing just

two hits while striking out four.

Right-hander Terence Loville
entered with two outs in the fourth
to get the games final out.
Ive seen [Halpin pitch] better, P.J. Jeremiah said. He tries
to throw too hard sometimes when
he doesnt have to. But hes a talent.
The mercy-rule was in effect
Saturday after American rallied for
six runs in the top of the fourth.
Entering into the inning up 8-0,
American sent 10 batters to the
plate. Pinch hitter Alika Woon had
the decisive swing of the bat,
drilling a two-run home run to center to give American an 11-0 lead.
Halpin added a two-run blast later
in the inning.
American leadoff hitter Jace
Jeremiah was perfect at the top of
the order in Saturdays opener,

Pacifica American a different team after historic season

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

PALO ALTO Pacifica American isnt expected to be the

juggernaut it was a year ago.
Last season en route to falling one game shy of a trip
to the Little League Word Series P-Town opened the
District 52 Majors Tournament with a power-show in walloping Redwood City West 26-0. This year, Pacifica
American scored a more modest win in its District 52 opener, edging Foster City 4-2 Saturday at Hoover Park.
Were going to grind stuff out, Pacifica American firstyear manager Gary Karalius said. [Last years] team was a
bunch of mashers.
While the offense was relatively quiet Saturday, one of the
two returning players from last years legendary squad made
a quick statement on the mound. Pacifica American starting
pitcher Spencer Karalius opened the game by striking out
four batters in the first inning. The right-hander went on to
notch eight punch-outs on the day while working 5 2/3
innings to earn the win.
I thought it was really important (to make a statement)
because all my friends who are older than me, theyre saying
were not going to do very good this year because all those
players are gone from that great team, Spencer Karalius
said. So, it was important to come out and play well.
While this years team isnt manned with the slugging
power of last years offensive star Elijah Ricks, Spencer
Karalius has already gone one up on his former teammate.
Not only did the two play for last years District 52 All-Star
squad, they also played on the same regular-season team
with the Braves.

Loville added three hits, including a two-run homer in the
first. Jack Fitzgerald was 2 for 2 with a walk, two RBIs and

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

One of two players to return to Pacifica American after last

years run at the Little League World Series, Spencer Karalius
pitched 3 2/3 innings to earn the win in Saturdays
District 52 Majors Tournament opener.
With Ricks as the Braves pitching ace and Spencer
Karalius as their No. 2 starter, the team advanced to the
Pacifica American League championship game, but lost.
This year, with the departure of Ricks, the Braves returned
to the championship game and won.
Spencer Karalius was the Braves pitching ace, working
11 2/3 shutout innings in the postseason, including a complete-game shutout to pace a 9-0 win over the Rangers in
the championship finale. Spencer Karalius even hit a home
run in the game, one of his Pacifica American League leadthrough four scoreless innings to fire a three-hit shutout.
Button is one of 10 players on National's roster entering
into his third season with the squad. All three years, he's
been elected team captain by his teammates. That's quite a
resume for a National team that last season advanced to
District 52 Sectionals in the 10-11-year-old bracket. Two
years ago in the Minors Tournament they did even better,
winning Sectionals before advancing to the Northern
California Divisional semifinals.
No one is more aware of Button's capabilities on the
mound than National manager Dave Villar. With the
youngest of his five sons playing for National, this is Dave
Villar's ninth year as a District 52 All-Star manager. So, the
veteran coach knew he could count on the calm and cool
demeanor of his ace right-hander.
He's just a gamer, Dave Villar said. He throws the ball hard
and for strikes, which is a great combination for victories.
Button's demeanor is the same as it was on opening day of
the San Mateo National regular season when he threw a
complete-game shutout for his Cardinals against Dave
Villar's team, the Orioles. And Button approached the highprofile District 52 opener just as calmly.
It's just another game, Button said. We've been here

ing 10 homers on the year.

The other arm that anchored the Braves pitching rotation
was Jordan Salgado, one of the other returning players from
last seasons P-Town power brigade. Salgado ranked second
in the Pacifica American League with eight home runs. He
manned shortstop and batted in the cleanup spot for Pacifica
American Saturday; he also earned the save with one-third
inning of work by pitching out of a bases-loaded jam.
Big shoes to fill (from last season), but Spencer and
Jordan are good leaders, Gary Karalius said. I think we can
make a deep run in this tournament. Weve got solid
ballplayers.
Theyre got emotional ballplayers as well. With Pacifica
leading 4-2 in the sixth, Foster City was able to knock
Spencer Karalius out of the game due to his reaching the
maximum pitch count. Spencer Karalius retired the first two
batters of the inning, but Justin Cavagnaro followed with a
two-strike single to center. Before Cavagnaros single even
reached center fielder Kennon MacKinney, Spencer Karalius
was already lobbying to remain in the game, yelling into
the dugout: one more! One more!
Spencer Karalius got his wish, but Kyle Pe spoiled his
attempt at a complete game by lining a single just over the

Jason Villar led off the frame with a double. Jake Willerup

But Pineda challenged it, shooting a single through the
middle and clipped off the center fielder's glove for the
game-winning RBI knock.
I just wanted to hit the ball hard, Pineda said. Even
though they had their center fielder up the middle, I just

hasnt gotten a lot of opportunities at third
base, he knows he should have been better
when given the chance.
Muncys error helped key a three-run
inning for Kansas City and the Royals went
on to sweep the Oakland Athletics with a 5-3
victory Sunday.
Muncy made just his eighth start of the
season at third base as manager Bob Melvin
wanted to get as many lefty hitters in the
lineup as possible against Jeremy Guthrie.
Its not an excuse to use, Muncy said.
When your name is called you need to go in
there and make the play. Thats all there is to
it.
Jesse Chavez (4-7) was unable to bail out
Muncy in the three-run sixth and Oakland
dropped its third straight following a season-long five-game winning streak.
We were playing really good ball lately

Watson captures
Travelers title on
2nd playoff hole
By Pat Eaton-Robb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CROMWELL, Conn. Bubba Watson is

hard to beat in a playoff.
The long-driving lefty made an 8-foot
birdie putt on the second extra hole Sunday to
outlast Paul Casey for his second Travelers
Championship victory.
Watson improved to 5-1 in overtime.
Casey overcame a threestroke deficit with five to
play, catching Watson at
16-under 264 in light rain
at TPC River Highlands.
But the 37-year-old
Englishman, playing the
tournament for the first
time, lost his chance at
Bubba Watson the title while playing
the par-4 18th for the
third time when his third shot from a greenside bunker flew over the green and landed
on the cart path.
Watson hit his 160-yard approach just to
the right of the hole to set up his winning
putt.
I hung on, and thats what you have to do
sometimes to win, Watson said.
Watson, who also needed extra holes to win
the WGC-HSBC Champions in China in
November at the start of the season and won
the Travelers in 2010 in a three-way playoff
for his first win on the PGA Tour.
Its just about staying calm, he said.
Thats what you have to do, you just breathe
and walk slower, take some deep breaths and
focus on the fact that no matter what you still
come in second place.
Watson had a chance to win in regulation.
But the two-time Masters champion bogeyed
the 17th, while Casey closed with three
birdies on the final five holes, sandwiched
around a bogey on 15.
Casey watched in the scoring trailer with 9month-old son Lex on his lap as Watson made
a 3 1/2 -foot par putt to force the playoff.
Watson finished with a 67. Casey shot 65.
This was the sixth time since 2004 this
tournament has gone to overtime.

The Sharks also signed potential restricted free agent forward Melker Karlsson to a

San Jose also reached one-year deals with

Djokovic back to tennis and focused on Wimbledon

By Chris Lehourites
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON After losing in the French

Open final, Novak Djokovic wanted nothing
to do with tennis.
For about a week, anyway.
Now, with his opening match at
Wimbledon coming Monday on Centre
Court, the top-ranked Serb is firmly focused
on defending his title.
Took me some time really to recover and
to rest after Paris. I didnt want to think about
tennis too much, said Djokovic, who lost to
Stan Wawrinka in four sets at Roland Garros.
Got myself on the court about 10 days ago,
started practicing on grass.
Right now I think Im also 100 percent
prepared.
Wimbledon starts this year a bit later than
normal, with a three-week break since the
French Open. That gave some players more
opportunity to make the transition from the
slow red clay to the faster grass surface, and
gave others the chance to rest.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray, two of
Djokovics main rivals at the All England
Club, both won grass-court tournaments in
the buildup to Wimbledon. But Djokovic hasnt played a competitive match since facing
Wawrinka in Paris.
Its not of my concern, honestly. I just
want to get myself in a best possible shape,

TOBY MELVILLE/REUTERS

Novak Djovokic gets loose in Sundays

warmup for his Wimbledon opener Monday.
Djokovic said Sunday. Im aware of the
adjustment that is required movement-wise,
game-wise, and also mentally for the grass
courts coming from clay courts.
The defending womens champion, Petra

Kvitova, wont start her tournament until

Tuesday. The second-seeded Czech will play
Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands in the first
round.
Kvitova also hasnt played since the
French Open, where she lost in the fourth
round. And she took some time off earlier in
the year to rest, skipping big tournaments in
Paris and Florida.
I feel much better than before. Im really
happy to be back on the court to play tennis,
to really do what I love, Kvitova said. It
was really tough decision for me to miss the
two big tournaments during March. I did do it.
Im glad that I did it.
If Kvitova makes it back to the final this
year, she could end up facing Serena
Williams. The top-seeded American, who is
looking to win her third major title of the
year and is on course for a true Grand Slam,
will open Monday against Margarita
Gasparyan of Russia on Court No. 1.
Kvitova beat Williams in the semifinals at
the Madrid Open last month.
For sure for me was great win. I never beat
her before, Kvitova said. I knew what I
have to play. Thats what I think is the key if
I want to beat her. But its still long way if Im
going to meet Serena here.
The other woman in the mix is Maria
Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion.
Sharapova is seeded fourth and will face
Johanna Konta of Britain in the first round,

following Djokovic on court in the main stadium on Monday.

The final match on Centre Court on the
opening day will see Wawrinka face Joao
Sousa of Portugal.
Wawrinka is heading into Wimbledon after
winning his second major title at the French
Open. He also won the 2014 Australian Open.
Grass, however, hasnt been the Swiss
players best surface.
Every year its been better for me. I think
since three years now, I feel really good,
Wawrinka said Saturday. I think I still feel
grass is good for me. Its important to be
ready, to feel good physically, to move well.
Despite Wawrinkas win over Djokovic this
month, its the 28-year-old Serb who remains
the favorite at Wimbledon.
Djokovic is 41-3 this year and has twice
won the title at the All England Club, including last years five-set victory over Federer.
But hell have a tough opening match against
Philipp Kohlschreiber, a 31-year-old German
who has beaten Djokovic once in seven
matches.
Hopefully tomorrow when I get on the
court Ill be able to perform my best because
thats something that is going to be very
much needed in order to win against
Kohlschreiber, said Djokovic, the
Australian Open champion. Its one of the
toughest first rounds I could get. But this is
Grand Slam. This is what it takes.

Gatlin wins 200 with fastest time ever at U.S. championships

By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EUGENE, Ore. Moments after crossing

the finish line, Justin Gatlin turned to his
left and pointed at the clock to make sure
everyone noticed what he just did.
Hard to miss that time. Somewhere, a certain Jamaican sprinter is no doubt hearing
about it, too.

Justin Gatlin

Gatlin breezed to the

200-meter title at the
U.S. championships in a
meet-record 19.57 seconds Sunday. He dominated a race in which he had
the lead coming off the
turn. It was all over after
that, given how he has
been running lately and

0UMVH[!Z\WWVY[WHYRZVYN

that his legs were feeling particularly fresh.

I wanted to go out and make a statement and
thats what I did today, Gatlin said. Thats
probably one of the best races Ive had.
Training partner Isiah Young was second,
0. 36 seconds behind, and 30-year-old
Wallace Spearmon third as he rounds back
up to speed after sports hernia surgery.
In the womens 200, Oregon standout Jenna
Prandini won in 22.20. Candyce McGrone

was second and Jeneba Tarmoh third.

Gatlin shattered his previous best of
19.68, which he set last July in Monaco and
then matched last month here at Hayward
Field. Tyson Gay, the 100 winner who
skipped the 200, set the previous meet
record of 19.62 in 2007.
And just so you know: Michael Johnson
has the American record (19.32) and Usain
Bolt the world record (19.19).

Kyle Busch grabs 1st win of season as comeback rolls on

SONOMA After two practice sessions at

Sonoma Raceway, Kyle Busch spent an
evening icing his surgically repaired left
foot.
He repeated the routine the night before
Sundays race, all in an effort to minimize
pain and give himself the best chance to pick
up a much-needed victory.
Just five races after returning from a broken
right leg and shattered left foot, Busch made
his way to victory lane to continue what
already has been an impressive comeback. He
chased down Jimmie Johnson to win Sunday
at Sonoma Raceway for his first NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series victory in 35 races.

The next goal for Busch?

Cracking the top 30 in
points to earn a berth in
the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship.
Now I dont have to
bust my butt and overdrive the car every week
in order to get wins,
Busch said. Now I can

Series race the day before the Daytona 500.

with City Beach in Santa Clara. He
joined the Vision staff in 2000 and
took over the 18 Gold squad
Visions most advanced team in
2004.
Last year, Vision 18 anchored
by former Woodside standout
Christine Alftin, who begins her
sophomore season at Cal in the fall
took seventh place at the junior
nationals in Minnesota.
This season, the team has a core
of returning players, including outside hitter Carmen Annevelink, the
San Jose Mercury Player of the Year
out of Los Altos, who will join
Alftin at Cal next season. Oregon
commit, middle blocker Ronika
Stone out of Valley Christian, has
been an offensive weapon off the
right side this season.
Balancing the front row have
been a pair of San Mateo County
standouts in Joos, the Daily
Journal Volleyball Player of the
Year; and San Mateo native Alexa
Dreyer,
the Cal-Hi Sports
Volleyball Player of the Year out of
Mitty. Both are in their first year
with the 18 Gold team after playing
for the 17 Gold squad last season.
Joos and Dreyer bring plenty of
chemistry to the court as the two
have been friends since they tried
out for the same club team six years
ago. They have played on four previous Vision squads together, starting with their 13-year-old season.

Certainly its feasible, this team is good

enough, Busch said.
Kurt Busch finished second as the brothers
notched their first 1-2 finish in Sprint Cup.
I was trying to think if weve ever finished
one two, and we did it today. Thats a pretty
special moment, Kurt Busch said. Ive got
over 500 starts. I know hes over 300. Can
you imagine, 800 starts between the two of
us, we almost have 30 wins each, and thats
the first time weve ever finished one-two?
I now I wish I would have gotten up there
and moved him.
AJ Allmendinger, widely considered the
favorite to win, started from the pole but was
not as fast as expected early in the race and
ultimately succumbed to an engine issue. He
finished 37th.

I think the chemistry is great,

Joos said. Thats the thing that
pushes our team in general. Our
team is good like that no matter if
were doing good or bad. ...
[Dreyer] is definately the most
competive girl Ive ever played
next to, so its like oh crap, I
better step up my game because I
dont want to let here down.
A year after soldiering through
an ankle injury that hampered her
for most of Vision 17s season last
summer, Joos has been a force
down the stretch this season. Early
this spring, she was competing for
playing time at outside hitter with
recent Menlo graduate Lida
Vandermeer. But the Dartmouthbound Vandermeer had her season
cut short by an abdominal injury.
Since then, Joos has seen a majority of the playing time.
Devin has really stepped up,
Mansfield said. About halfway
through the season, she really
grabbed one of the outside hitting
positions and has really been consistent and has really done a great
job for us the rest of the season and
has been a very good all-around
player, and one of the main reasons
weve been as successful as weve
been the second part.
Dreyer is a Vision lifer, who started at the club as a 12-year-old. A 63 commit to UCLA, she has paired
with an array of former Mitty teammates to anchor 18 Gold, which has
three Monarchs on roster.
At a national-championship
qualifying tournament April 24-26
in Reno, Dreyer was the driving
force in leading Vision to an unde-

feated run through 10 matches to

claim the tourney title. It was one
of several bids Vision earned to
qualify to advance to New Orleans,
but also the most convincing performance, according to Mansfield.
[Dreyer] was very, very offensive for us the whole tournament,
Mansfeild said. That was by far
her best tournament. All three days
she played well, her and Lauren
Speckman, who goes to Mitty as
well. So they have a good connection. They really connected well
through that whole tournament.
Vision 18 started the year with
13 players on roster, the deepest
roster Mansfield has ever carried.
With season-ending injuries to
Vandermeer and defensive specialist Gabriella Carta-Samuels, Vision
is down to 11 players, which still
provides plenty of depth.
Were still very deep at every
position, Mansfield said.
Mansfield
said
neither
Vandermeer not Carta-Samuels
injuries are career threatening.
I dont think either one of them
are going to be out for the fall,
Mansfield said.
Vision plays three matches
Monday including a matchup
with Laguna Beach, a team that
defeated Vision earlier this season
at a qualifier in Los Angeles and
three more matches Tuesday. Pool
play concludes Wednesday with
two matches, including the pool
closer against Texas Advantage.
The top three teams in the pool
advance to Thursdays semifinal
round. Championship play begins
Thursday afternoon.

Ted 2 lags behind bigger hits

By Lindsey Bahr

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

y friend Doris recently lost her

dog of almost 15 years. Her
little dog, a PHS/SPCA alum,
was a true companion and, naturally, left a
huge empty space in Doris life when she
passed. She visited our new adoption center a few days after putting her dog to
sleep and was literally overwhelmed with
conicting feelings. She was missing her
dog deeply, yet she was encouraged seeing many dogs who could help her ll her
void and dogs for which she could provide
a great, loving home. But, shes was also
feeling guilty for looking so soon.
Turned out, it was too soon for Doris.
But, she returned a few weeks later, found
a wonderful match and adopted. Many
people say that the best way to get over a
lost pet is to adopt another right away.
While this may be right for some, others
wait a year or longer. How else does
someone get over the loss of a loved pet?
Attend a grief counseling group specializing in pet loss (PHS/SPCA has a free
group that meets monthly). Adopt a pet
who looks exactly like the last one.
Adopt a pet who looks nothing like the
last one. Write an ode to your pet and
send it to friends he or she knew well.
Hold a memorial service. Find a special
place in your home or yard to display
your pets collar. Donate all your pets
things to a shelter. Spread your pets
ashes in a place that was special to both
of you. Or, keep the ashes close to you in
an urn at home. Go away somewhere since
you probably werent able to do much of
that the past year! Volunteer your time
helping homeless pets. Share your feelings with all your friends. Keep your feelings private. Point is, there is no right
way to grieve. This is an entirely personal process, different for everyone.

LOS ANGELES A foul-mouthed Teddy

bear is no match for a pack of dinosaurs.
Seth MacFarlanes Ted 2 opened far
under expectations with $32.9 million,
according to Rentrak estimates Sunday, ceding the top two spots to holdovers Jurassic
World and Inside Out.
While $32.9 million is a solid opening
for an R-rated comedy, bigger things were
expected from Ted 2, which cost a reported $68 million to produce.
The Universal Pictures sequel was expected to earn somewhere in the $50 million
range going into its debut weekend, thanks
to the record-setting precedent of the first
film, which earned $54.4 million in 2012.
In addition to mediocre reviews, perhaps
the initial intrigue around a raunchy stuffed
animal has worn off a bit.
Its hard to maintain that hyper level of
excitement once people have seen the talking Teddy bear, Rentraks Senior Media
Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said. In comedy, its about inventiveness, newness and
the shock value of something original.
Universals domestic distribution head,
Nick Carpou, said that the positive
response from exit polls indicates a promising life for the movie in the weeks ahead.
We could have had a higher gross, but we
get the gross we get. It was a very competitive marketplace this weekend, said
Carpou, who noted that the first films gross
was a massive surprise to the studio.
Jurassic World, also a Universal film,
narrowly held the top spot for the third
weekend in a row with a mighty $54.2 mil-

lion, pushing it past the $500 million mark
domestically only the fifth film to do so
in history.
Carpou said the films record-setting performance has exceeded his high expectations every step of the way. Hes excited
that it seems that audiences are returning for
repeat viewings.
Disney and Pixars Inside Out, meanwhile, finished at a close No. 2, earning
$52.1 million only a 42 percent drop
from its first weekend in theaters.
Dergarabedian marveled at the consistency of Jurassic World and Inside Out.
These are no flash-in-the-pan movies.

Prankster invades Kanye West

stage at Glastonbury festival
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Kanye West declared

himself the greatest living rock
star on the planet at Britains
Glastonbury festival. But that didnt prevent a prankster from invading the rappers performance and
upstaging him.
Wests headline set Saturday
night was briefly interrupted when
comedian Lee Nelson stormed onto
the stage, rapping along with the
star. A security guard quickly bundled him offstage.
Later, Nelson whose real name

is Simon Brodkin tweeted:

Some people were saying Kanye
shouldnt headline Glastonbury so
I thought Id give him a hand.
The prank amused many fans,
who recalled how West crashed
Taylor Swifts 2009 acceptance
speech at the Video Music Awards.
It wasnt the only amusing thing
about Wests set, which presented a
problem for the BBCs subtitles
team because of his often expletive-laden lyrics. Many on Twitter
shared the comic wordplay that
appeared on their screens in place
of offensive words.

Both are delivering exactly what audiences

want, he said.
Max, the other new opener, brought in a
modest but expected $12.2 million to finish
fourth. Warner Bros. is distributing the PGrated MGM movie about a PTSD-afflicted
military dog who goes to live with his handlers family.
The film, which cost under $20 million to
produce, is performing especially well in
the South, the Southeast and the Midwest,
according to Warner Bros. domestic distribution EVP Jeff Goldstein.
Overall, the box office is still booming,
up 7 percent from last year. With Magic
Mike XXL and Terminator Genisys set to
open Wednesday in advance of the holiday
weekend, things are only going to heat up.

Deformed
mutt is Worlds
Ugliest Dog

HELPING HANDS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saint Vincent de Paul's Catherine Center welcomed 250 guests to its second annual Fashion Show Fundraiser, Blossoming into Transformation, on June 18 at Filoli gardens in Woodside. The event, co-chaired by Kim Selby and Cyndie Pogue, raised over $33,000 in support
of the holistic program that helps women reclaim their life after incarceration. Among those in attendance were Bonnie Fox (left) and Jim
Fox (right), SVdP Board Member, Retired San Mateo County District Attorney and Co-Chair of Restorative Justice Committee.

PETALUMA A 10-year-old mutt named

Quasi Modo, whose spinal birth defects left
her a bit hunchbacked, is the winner of this
years Worlds Ugliest Dog contest.
The pit bull-Dutch shepherd mix and her
owner took the $1,500 prize Friday night,
besting 25 other dogs competing in the
contest that applauds imperfection, organizers said.
And though the name might make you
think of the Quasimodo character in the
Vi c t o r
Hugo tale
T h e
Hunchback
of Notre
Dame,
this dog is
female,
not male
as
some
thought.
Karen Spencer,
marketing director
for
the
So n o ma-Mari n
Fair, said she was notified Friday night by
Quasi Modos owner that the worlds newly
crowned ugliest dog is a she, and not a he.
Quasi Modo was abandoned at an animal
shelter before being adopted by a veterinarian in Loxahatchee, Florida, according to her
biography posted on the contests website.
Two Chinese crested and Chihuahua mixes
named Sweepee Rambo and Frodo took the
second- and third-place prizes, respectively.
A Chihuahua named Precious received the
spirit award, honoring a dog and owner
who have overcome obstacles.

education program, the district office
and the transportation service yard.
The impetus for delaying the decision, which has been bandied about for
years, was due in part to a new superintendent and principal at Peninsula
soon joining the district, trustees
said.
Kevin Skelly is slated to assume
control of the district July 1, replacing
outgoing
Superintendent
Scott
Laurence, who will be taking a position in the Carmel Unified School
District.
Trustee Peter Hanley said he favored
delaying the decision regarding
Peninsula, because Skelly had
expressed interest in having an opportunity to build a greater consensus
among the board.
Conversation regarding the site for
the alternative program surrounded
whether the campus in San Bruno is
the best fit for students, since it exists
in a remote region of the district and is
far from the homes of many students
who attend the school.

What he found was that, though the
situations might be different, the
issues professional couples faced were
often the same ones faced by romantic
couples.
[Like in a marriage], when you go
into a company with someone, you
feel like you have these complementary strengths, you have these really
high hopes ... and youre committing
to stick together through all the difficulties that are gonna come, he said.
But its a challenge to create and sustain a relationship thats going to be

Some trustees initially expressed

interest in purchasing the property in
Burlingame to house the alternative
program, or perhaps the district
offices, but concerns regarding the
accessibility of the site for students,
as well as the cost of reconstructing
the building, dissuaded them from
moving forward.
Trustees said they would table the
conversation for two or three months,
to allow time for new district leadership to settle into their roles.
But unanimous consent between
trustees did not exist regarding
whether to postpone a decision on
where to build the district office.
Trustees Linda Lees Dwyer and
Robert Griffin voted in favor of a recommendation from district staff to
rebuild the district office on the campus of San Mateo High School, but
were eventually overruled by the rest
of the board by a vote of 3-2.
Other trustees said they preferred to
wait to take action on the district
office plan, until the other decisions
regarding Peninsula and the special
education program were made.
Hanley suggested district officials
look into the possibility of constructing a building on the San Mateo High

School campus which could serve as

the district office, but could also be
converted into classroom space,
should the schools enrollment grow
substantially over coming years.
I think we need some kind of
options and Id like to see what kind of
feasibility that idea has, said Hanley.
If we are going to table it and bring it
back, Im OK with that, but Id like to
have that idea explored because I think
it is worthwhile, he said.
Lees Dwyer said she disagreed.
I see no reason to delay construction of the district office at this time,
she said.
But ultimately, trustees in favor of
postponing the decision won out,
which board President Marc Friedman
said was the most appropriate decision.
There are a lot of moving parts
going on, he said. This is the fiscally responsible decision to make at this
point.

strong, but also flexible, and able to

withstand those changes. You need a relationship thats really dynamic, he said.
Co-founders of Aspire Recruiting
Mike Prestano and Jon Chintanaroad
sought counseling a year into their
business. The pair, who lived together
while founding Aspire Recruiting,
sought counseling largely due to the
stress of maintaining a relationship
that was both professional and personal.
You start running into situations
like any couple would, Prestano said.
Anywhere from what are we going to
eat, to whats our work schedule going
to be like?
Furthermore, the pressures that
come with starting any business
such as money and legal matters can
further complicate the relationship
between founders.

Yet another complication is often

the young age of startup hopefuls.
You have people with less work
experience, less life experience, often
only in their early 20s, who are starting companies when they havent
developed social and relational skills
that are adequate for this task,
Horowitz said. So its a little bit like
doing college counseling. Except its
a startup, so theres a lot of money on
the line.
Alexander Glasson is one such young
startup founder. He, with his partner Roy
Banwell, are currently working to get
their
app-development
company
MapMyApp.com off the ground.
Although Glasson and Banwell have
not gone to couples counseling for
their startup, Glasson said that he
would consider counseling given the
stressful nature of the startup process.

and proud families of lesbians and gays swooped up
Market Street as spectators flocked 10 to 15 people deep
along both sides.
There were Hooray for Gay and Love Won signs.
There were rainbow flags and knee socks, umbrellas and
tutus.
SF Pride Board President Gary Virginia said the exuberance was amplified given last weeks U.S. Supreme Court
ruling that same-sex couples can wed in all 50 states. Still,
he said more needs to be done in housing and job discrimination in the United States and for lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender people around the world.
Today, we celebrate, Virginia said. Tomorrow, we get
back to work.
San Francisco organizers put the number of marchers at
26,000, while in New York City, organizers expected
about 22,000 people.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo used his newly granted
powers to officiate at the wedding ceremony of a same-sex
couple in Manhattan. It was held in front of the Stonewall
Inn, where in 1969 gay bar patrons stood up to a police
raid, launching the modern gay rights movement.
Nikita Lowery, a 28-year-old resident of Chicago, said
she decided to attend that citys parade for the first time
this year. I feel like its a true celebration now, she said.
At gay pride parades in Paris and other cities outside the
U.S. on Saturday, the Supreme Courts ruling was hailed by
many as a watershed.
Soon in all countries we will be able to marry, said
Celine Schlewitz, a 25-year-old nurse taking part in the
Paris parade. Finally a freedom for everyone.
Street celebrations were boosted Saturday in Dublin,
where Ireland mounted the biggest gay rights parade in the
countrys history. But in Turkey, police used water cannons to clear a rally Sunday in Istanbul. It wasnt clear why
the police intervened in the peaceful rally. The crowd
regrouped a few blocks away.
In San Francisco, police say a bystander was shot at a
gay pride event at the citys civic center Saturday when
several men got into an argument unrelated to the celebration. A 64-year-old man was shot in the arm, and he is
expected to survive, said Officer Carlos Manfredi on
Sunday.
Dykes on Bikes traditionally kicks off the citys Pride
parade. Riders revved their engines for five minutes and
received a sprinkling of silver glitter from a bystander
before setting off at 10:30 a.m. to hoots and cheers and
unbridled applause.

military units because of the closing of military bases in the area. Theres also the
decline in the number of veterans organizations participating, possibly because of the
age of veterans and their ability to march.
Another impact on the size of our parade
has been the decline in music, Slusser continued. Local schools no longer have
music programs and very few have actual

marching bands. The ones that do have

bands are not able to participate because the
schools are not in session during the summer months.

improvements to address all forms of
mobility. For drivers, the plan recommends traffic-calming measures such
as lights, roundabouts and extending
turn lanes. For pedestrians, the city
seeks to widen and repair sidewalks,
increasing crossing time at lights and
improve crosswalk visibility, according to the plan.
Bicyclists were one of the most
boisterous sects of Ralston Avenue
users and initially sought continuous
bike lanes along the entire road.
Unable to provide such bike lanes
without removing a lane of traffic or
street parking in certain areas, the city
opted to provide dedicated bike paths

of Ralston Avenue. The proposal also

was disregarded in 2007 after the city
realized the high cost of purchasing
right-of-way for properties that would
need to be demolished to account for
the new road. For a more immediate
solution to the intersection at
Highway 101 and Poplar Avenue,
which has an abnormally high number
of injury accidents, the city is
installing traffic calming measures
and a median that runs to Idaho Street
on Poplar Avenue. Those improvements are slated to begin later this
year while the Peninsula Avenue project is still in the early planning
stages, said Tracy Scramaglia, a senior
engineer with San Mateo and the project manager.
The former Peninsula Avenue efforts
were also marked by outcry from
neighboring Burlingame residents
who feared an increase in traffic on
their streets.
At Thursdays public meeting, there
was only time for a handful of citizens
to make public comments, yet there
appeared to be a mix of both proponents who sought a better interchange
than Poplar Avenue and opponents
who remained concerned by the impact
the project would have to traffic while
forcing several residential and commercial properties to relocate.
San Mateo resident Diana Pettit said
shed like to see a more regional traffic
study that includes State Route 92 at
Highway 101 and doesnt believe
Caltrans will be willing to cough up

Yet while the city spent a considerable amount of time and money developing the thorough plan that outlines
millions in improvements, it needs to
secure funds before being able to proceed.
I believe we are competitive. I
think weve spent a good effort in
preparing the plan and hopefully that
will position us well to compete both
locally and on the statewide level,
said Public Works Director Afshin
Oskoui.
Moving forward, the city is continuing to work with consultants to
advance more high-level designs for
the improvements, create a prioritized
list of projects and conduct further
community outreach, Afshin said.
Belmont hopes to hear whether its
awarded the local Measure A grant by
October and anticipates Caltrans will
make a decision by the end of the year.
If the city is unsuccessful this time
around, it will continue to research
alternate grant possibilities and apply
again in future years, Afshin said.
Councilman Warren Lieberman
agreed the city is more competitive

having undergone an extensive planning process and noted the public will
have opportunities to engage in shaping the future of the well-used road.
Following through with construction and improvements along Ralston
Avenue would ultimately be a benefit
to not only the countless Belmont residents who frequent the road, but also
all who traverse the city, Lieberman
said.
Ralston is our main east-west thoroughfare. People throughout Belmont
need it for all sorts of reasons whether
its daily commutes, going to and from
school, or just normal travel,
Lieberman said. So anything that we
can do to improve our mobility; and
by that I mean cars, pedestrians and
bicyclists; is a very big plus, because
Ralston Avenue sees so much of us during the day.

enough money to help fund the project.

The Peninsula Avenue interchange
and Poplar [project] affects a lot of
people who live here. Since 2012, our
traffic is awful, its gotten worse. We
are now the interchange to Silicon
Valley, Pettit said. I would like to see
a traffic study including the whole
area, 92, 101, Peninsula, Poplar.
Unfortunately, we are the people who
live in this area and are sandwiched.
Were paying a very high cost to live
here and were sandwiched in our
neighborhoods.
Residents
from
neighboring
Burlingame also showed up at the
meeting to provide input about the
project.
Id like you to help reassure the
Burlingame residents in the community, said Burlingame Councilman
Michael Brownrigg. While really its
San Mateos land and a San Mateo
project, it also has a significant
impact to Burlingame. So how do you
persuade people that youll be a good
steward for everyones interests and
not just San Mateo?
Marilou Lee, a resident on the San
Mateo side of Peninsula Avenue, also
expressed worry the project would create more traffic and therefore safety
issues; but noted concerns from
Burlingame residents shouldnt inherently stop the project.
Scramaglia said officials would continue to work with all stakeholders
including Burlingame, Caltrans and
the public. The city is seeking $2.5
million to conduct a thorough environmental review and traffic study of
the two proposed designs as well as a
no-build alternative. Ultimately,

theres no guarantee the project will

move forward, Scramaglia said.
Others wondered what the point of
the proposal was, particularly since
the last go around was halted due to the
high cost of purchasing dozens of
properties or right-of-way space to
account for the new ramps.
Geno Caccia, co-owner of Caccia
Plumbing on Amphlett Boulevard,
could face his property being taken
through eminent domain should the
Peninsula Avenue plans roll through.
Caccia said he was concerned the
meeting didnt provide enough time
for the public to make comments, particularly as another Peninsula Avenue
resident suggested the city consider
taking commercial properties instead
of residential ones.
Theyre going to maybe give me a
value they come up with, but you cant
put a number on the presence in the
community we have and by being by
the freeway. They dont compensate
you for those things. Were very connected to the neighborhood, we spend
more time there than we do in our
homes, Caccia said. Its more than
just giving me money for my building,
its still like our home. People think
when its commercial it seems colder,
like a colder relationship. So when
youre taking away residences theres a
huge uproar, but when its businesses
like ours, well were just as connected
to the community.

The Solution: The DRT Method, (Disc Restoration Therapy)

The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional
Support, Exercise Rehabilitation.
The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy

Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.

Why Bay Area Disc Centers?

Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC and his team have vast experience in treating
patients suffering from moderate to severe disc disease.
