City workers take 5 percent cut

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A small group of non-union
employees in San Carlos will take a
5 percent cut in pay and benefits,
saving the city nearly $50,000 on
top of the group’s earlier agreement
to give back a 2.75 percent salary
increase scheduled for this month.
The Confidential Group — less
than a dozen workers like adminis-
trative and executive assistants who
are not in a union because they work
with managers who participate in
contract negotiations — agreed to
the concessions as part of a two-
year agreement.
In March, the group agreed to
forgo a 2.75 percent cost of living
adjustment scheduled for July 1.
The move saved the city about
$30,000, said Administrative
Services Director Jeff Maltbie.
Now, the group agreed to another
5 percent cut to pay and benefits to
save another $49,220.
“When you consider there are
only nine or 10 people in this group,
it’s pretty substantial,” said Maltbie.
The two-year agreement elimi-
nates vacation time payout aside
from an employee leaving, estab-
lishes a third retirement tier for new
hires, freezes medical premiums
beginning next January and cuts 2.5
percent of the base salary beginning
Aug. 2.
The City Council will formally
sign off on the agreement at its
Monday night meeting.
The agreement follows on the
heels of similar concessions by the
management unit announced in
June. City managers agreed to a 5.3
percent cut — or $246,000 — in
pay and benefit, bringing their total
concessions to 8 percent.
Management wanted to go first to

Sweet treats for Easton Supe crafts chicken law

Local teen holds fundraisers for Burlingame Public Library
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Thirteen-year-old Mimi Lee is
making treats with a cause.
The Burlingame teen doesn’t have
a sweet tooth; well maybe she does.
But that sweet tooth is not inspiring
this week’s baking efforts. Instead,
it’s Lee’s way of contributing to the
Easton branch library.
Budget restraints led the City
Council to ask residents to support
the branch, to the tune of $70,000 in
donations, to maintain services. The
city’s current budget relies on the
donations or faces larger cuts.
Residents decided fundraising to
create an endowment was the
answer with the first $70,000 going
toward this year’s cost.
Thus far, $45,000 has been raised
through a variety of efforts big and
small, said City Librarian Patricia
Harding.
Mayor Cathy Baylock was happy
to see the support.
“We don’t like to go out and ask
the public [for money], but we need
to go out and get support,” she said.
No one wants to see the branch
close, Baylock continued. However,
the city does need to balance its
budget.
Easton was renovated in 2004
thanks to community donations.
Sixty percent of Easton’s circulation
is for children’s books. About 40
people show up for the two chil-
dren’s story times weekly. The small
branch in the middle of a residential
area has limited afternoon and
evening hours Monday through
Thursday, and three hours, 2 p.m. to
5 p.m., on Saturday. It costs about
$110,000 annually, which includes
employee, material and facilities

Unincorporated county land may
allow hens if ordinance passes
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There won’t be any “cock-a-doo-
dle-doos” being heard in unincorpo-
rated county lands with a new ordi-
nance crafted by Supervisor Rich
Gordon’s office but there may be the
occasional “cluck.”
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors will decide Tuesday
whether hens should be allowed in
areas such as Emerald Hills or the
mid-coast, where they are currently
banned.
Roosters will not be allowed
under Gordon’s ordinance because
they are too loud but ducks are fine.
The county’s Planning
Department crafted language for the
ordinance after a family in Emerald
Hills faced code enforcement viola-
tions late last year for having chick-
ens on their property.

Candidate can’t use
controversial description
MADISON, Wis. — A legislative can-
didate from Wisconsin can’t use a pro-
fane, racially charged phrase to describe
herself on the ballot, an election over-
sight board decided Wednesday.
Ieshuh Griffin, an independent run-
ning for a downtown Milwaukee seat in
the state Assembly, wants to use the
phrase, “NOT the ’whiteman’s b----.”’
But the state’s Government
Accountability Board voted to bar that
themselves placed after their names on
the ballot as long as it’s not pejorative,
profane, discriminatory or includes an
obscene word or phrase.
Griffin, who is black, argued her case
to the five white, retired judges on the
board that regulates elections. She said
the phrase was protected free speech.
“It’s a freedom of expression,” she
said. “It’s not racial. It’s not a slur.”
She convinced three of the judges that
the wording should be allowed, but two
said it should not. One judge was absent,
and Griffin needed four votes to suc-
ceed. Griffin said she intends to seek an
injunction in federal court.
Board member Thomas Cane, a
retired state appeals court judge, said he
didn’t find the wording to be “particular-
ly offensive.”
Fellow board member Thomas
Barland, who spent 33 years as a circuit
court judge in Eau Claire, agreed.
“She says a lot in five words,” he said.
“It wasn’t pornographic, it wasn’t
obscene and I didn’t interpret it as
racial.”

DV funding at risk
Governor’s budget axes $16.3M for domestic violence shelters
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed
budget for the second year in a row does not
include funding for domestic violence shel-
ters.
While Democrats in the Legislature grapple
with solving a $19 billion deficit in their own
version of the state budget, nonprofit agencies
who provide shelter for battered women,
worry the lack of funding will put more men,
women and children at risk of harm.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, was able to restore funding to domes-
tic violence shelters last year by crafting leg-
islation he crafted and is fighting hard to keep
the money in this year’s budget. He has also
crafted another bill to generate more domestic
violence funding by allowing counties to
increase marriage license fees by up to $10.
However, Schwarzenegger’s budget cuts
$16.3 million for the state’s 94 domestic vio-
lence shelters.
Community Overcoming Relationship
Abuse, a nonprofit providing shelter and other
services for victims of domestic violence in
San Mateo County, has cut 20 percent of its
workforce and frozen salaries in the past two
years just to keep the doors open to victims.
But while resources are decreasing, the
need for them is not.
With the state’s unemployment rate hitting
record levels, CORA contends financial stress
may fuel an increase in violence in turbulent
relationships or ignite violence in others for
the first time.
Demand for services has jumped sig-
nificantly at CORA since the recession
started with hotline calls up by 11 per-
cent and referrals from law enforcement
to CORA’s Emergency Response
LOCAL
Madlen Bouthilier and her daughter, Daniella, enjoy some time together at Talbot’s Toyland
in San Mateo. Bouthilier credits a local nonprofit agency for helping her recover from an
abusive relationship.
Program up 42 percent, said Melissa
Lukin, CORA’s executive director.
Requests for emergency shelter have more
than doubled, Lukin said.
As a result of the downsizing, CORA has
restructured its operations to focus on core
emergency services such as shelter, emer-
gency response to law enforcement and the
24-hour crisis hotline.
Long-term services such as legal help, case
management, peer counseling and community
education, however, have been reduced or
eliminated at CORA as a result of the state’s
financial crisis.
BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL
One of CORA’s former clients, Madlen
Bouthilier, benefitted greatly from the long-
term services the nonprofit agency previously
provided after her and her child escaped an
abusive relationship.
Bouthilier, a native of Belarus, married an
American man and had a child with him
before the marriage deteriorated.
Bouthilier found CORA on the Internet,
gave the group a call and received emergency
shelter that night.
“My daughter and I were in our pajamas.
We took nothing from the home but our dog.

Festa Italiana coming to town

Have a hankering for Italian food, music,

Downtown San Mateo will be home to the
24th annual Festa Italiana this Sunday — giv-
ing those who come by the chance to indulge in
an Italian sausage, free music and activities for
the little ones. Put on by the Festa Foundation,
the yearly street fair acts as a major fundraiser
for the group which supports children and indi-
viduals with developmental disabilities. This
year the group is hoping for extra financial suc-
cess as its other large fundraiser was canceled
this year.
“We try to put as much money in the commu-
nity to help as many people,” said Festa
Foundation Secretary Patricia Giosso. “Every
cent we make helps children and adults.”

Fire destroys six cars in SFO lot
Six cars parked in San Francisco
International Airport’s long-term parking lot
were destroyed by a fire early Thursday morn-
ing.
The fire was reported at about 12:30 a.m.
The six cars destroyed were parked across
from each other in a cluster, airport
spokesman Mike McCarron said.
A seventh car parked nearby was damaged
by the heat.
The cause of the fire remains under investi-
gation, but McCarron said arson is a possibil-
ity.
“Cars that have been parked for several days
don’t usually just spontaneously combust,” he
said.
No injuries were reported. Airport officials
this morning were trying to get in touch with
the cars’ owners to inform them of the dam-
age.
Surveillance cameras for the lot are trained
on the entrance and exit points, but McCarron
said there are no cameras in the area where the
fires burned.
He said the parking lot is still fully opera-
tional.
The blaze is being investigated by the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.

Fiorina’s attacks tell half the story
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One of Carly Fiorina’s
lines of attack against Sen. Barbara Boxer is
that the Democrat has accomplished little dur-
ing her 18 years in the Senate.
To back it up, she has emphasized that
Congress has passed only five bills that carry
Boxer’s name.
Fiorina is generally right on the number. An
Associated Press review of Senate records
shows that four bills authored by Boxer were
signed into law. The additional bill counted by
the Fiorina campaign had the same language
as a House measure, but it was the House bill
that technically passed.
Yet what the first-time Republican candidate

Lawmakers and political analysts say defin-
ing success purely on the number of bills that
bear a lawmaker’s name is misleading and fails
to capture the full effect of his or her political
influence.
Lawmaking is a collaborative process and
involves incorporating myriad amendments
and bills into more comprehensive legislation.
Even though lawmakers may have sponsored a
particular amendment or bill, their name typi-
cally will not be on the final, much larger
product.
“Some bills get a name or two on them, but
it doesn’t necessarily reflect who put the sub-
stance into them,” said Norm Ornstein, a
scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a
conservative think tank.
Even those lawmakers typically credited for
passage of legislation could be excluded under
Fiorina’s accounting method of bill ownership.
Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of
Wisconsin was one of the lead architects of

was the House version that became law.

Work starts on tunnel
from Golden Gate bridge
SAN FRANCISCO — Construction is under
way on a tunnel that’s expected to provide a
safer way for Marin County drivers to get into
San Francisco from the Golden Gate Bridge.
The $116 million Battery Tunnel began con-
struction Wednesday along with an elevated
1,340-foot-long viaduct to take drivers into
city. One tunnel is slated to open on Labor Day
2011 with five lanes that will handle both
northbound and southbound traffic, until a sec-
ond tunnel is built.
The current route between the bridge and
downtown San Francisco, Doyle Drive, has
been found to be seismically unsafe. The 1.5-
mile southern approach to bridge was built in
1936.
The state Department of Transportation has
since spent $35 million to strengthen Doyle
Drive. But bridge officials say it still could be
vulnerable in a large earthquake.

Report shows deficit
in state GOP account
WASHINGTON — A $366,000 deficit with-
in a federal account could put a damper on the
California Republican Party’s goal of register-
ing large numbers of new voters before the
Nov. 2 election.
Political parties essentially have two banks
accounts when it comes to funding their oper-
ations — one federal, one state. When a feder-
al election draws near, only the federal account
can be used for such activities as registering
voters and encouraging them to get to the polls.
“All voter registration activity within 120
days of a federal election has to be paid for out
of this federal account that they’re reporting,”
said Paul Ryan, program director with The
Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan organi-
zation that tracks election law.
The Nov. 2 election is less than 120 days
away and includes races for each of
California’s 53 House seats and the Senate race
between incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer
and Republican challenger Carly Fiorina. State
GOP officials said they are not concerned
about the amount of money that will be avail-
able for their voter-registration efforts.
“The figures that you’re looking at are just a
snapshot. We’re constantly raising money and
spending money,” said Mark Standriff, a
spokesman for the California Republican
Party. “Those figures become obsolete the
minute you put them on paper.”
Republican leaders launch funding
appeal for state representatives
SACRAMENTO — House Republican
leaders on Thursday launched a targeted
fundraising appeal on behalf of two California
representatives facing tough re-elections.
The National Republican Congressional
Committee kicked off several days of phone
calls to donors to drum up support for mem-
bers of its Patriot Program, which consists of
nine vulnerable incumbents across the country.
The list includes California Reps. Dan
Lungren of Sacramento and Mary Bono Mack
of Palm Springs, both of whom face well-fund-
ed Democratic challengers.
Bono Mack’s $1.2 million in cash on hand
puts her about $360,000 ahead of her opponent
in Riverside County’s 45th District, Palm
Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet. However,
Pougnet netted about $400,000 in new contri-
butions last quarter, about $2,000 more than
the seven-term congresswoman.
In the 3rd District, near Sacramento, Elk
Grove physician Ami Bera raised nearly
$340,000 last quarter, compared to Lungren’s
$266,000. Bera has led the four-term incum-
bent in fundraising for five straight quarters
and maintains a $330,000 cash-on-hand advan-
tage.

Rangel charged with ethics misdeeds
By Larry Margasak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A House investigative
committee on Thursday charged New York
Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics vio-
lations, dealing a serious blow to the former
Ways and Means chairman and complicating
Democrats’ election-year outlook.
The House ethics committee won’t reveal
the specific charges until next Thursday in a
public meeting. However, sources familiar
with the allegations, who were not authorized
to discuss them publicly, said the charges
against the 40-year Democrat were related to:
• Rangel’s use of official stationery to raise
money for the Charles B. Rangel Center for
Public Service at City College of New York.
• His use of four rent-subsidized apartment
units in New York City. The city’s rent stabi-
lization program is supposed to apply to one’s
primary residence. One had been used as a
campaign office, raising a separate question of
whether the rent break was an improper gift.
• Rangel’s failure to report income as
required on his annual financial disclosure
forms. The committee had investigated his
failure to report income from the lawmaker’s
rental unit at the Punta Cana Yacht Club in the
Dominican Republic. Rangel also belatedly
disclosed hundreds of thousands of dollars in
investment assets.
The charges by a four-member panel of the
House ethics committee sends the case to a
House trial. A separate panel of four
Burlingame downtown vision revisited
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Residents can weigh in on visions of open
space with outdoor, pedestrian-friendly events
and new mixed-use buildings in downtown
Burlingame outlined in the draft specific plan
during a public hearing held by the Planning
Commission Monday.
A draft Downtown Specific Plan for
Burlingame was created after years of public
input refined by a Citizens’ Advisory
Committee. Debuted late last year, the plan was
recently circulated to gather input on possible
impacts. On Monday, the Planning
Commission will discuss changes to the plan,
mostly in regards to parking, and allow the
public to express concerns.
The largest change since last discussed is
extending the option for businesses to pay for
parking rather than provide spaces. Such a
move will mean a decrease in available spots in
the short term, but could fund the development
of expanded parking lots in the future.
Rep. Charles Rangel walks outside his Capitol Hill office in Washington, D.C. shortly after a
congressional investigative panel accused Rangel of undisclosed ethics violations.
Republicans and four Democrats will decide
whether the violations can be proved by clear
and convincing evidence.
Sanctions can range from a damaging com-
mittee report to censure by the House and
even expulsion, a punishment reserved for
only the most egregious violations.
The timing of the announcement ensures
Land use, streetscapes, open space, traffic
circulation, parking, design and character and
historical resources — are examined in the pro-
posal which creates a vision for the area gener-
ally including Peninsula Avenue on the south,
Oak Grove Avenue on the north, El Camino
Real to the west and Anita Road to the east.
Paying for the $43.6 million vision — $33.76
million for streetscape and $9.8 million for
open space — was a concern at previous meet-
ings.
An interesting aspect of the plan is requiring
a design review for all projects within the
downtown area to maintain the feel and design
set forth in the specific plan. Creating a volun-
tary historic registry is part of the plan. Five
hundred buildings were looked at originally
and 23 could potentially be on such a list. The
list would be in conjunction with efforts to cre-
ate tax incentives for properties on the historic
index.
Maximum building height is often of con-
cern in Burlingame. Developers were contacted
to discuss concerns, most of which were about
creating stable height in buildings and parking.
A shadow study was also conducted to see the
effect of taller buildings.

proposal would convert the building to self

the area south of the building. The owner of a

letter opposing the change.
At the same meeting, the commission will
consider a conditional use permit to allow an
increase to the maximum enrollment at Mercy
High School from 500 to 540 and add to the
number of faculty from 80 to 83. Annually, stu-
dents are accepted to the school but decline to
attend. That has not always been the case,
resulting in the school’s hope to increase the
maximum number to allow some wiggle room
in such instances.
The topic was heard previously, but declined
without prejudice as neighbors complained
about potential traffic impacts. Since then, the
Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission made
several suggestions to mitigate those issues.
Mercy has resubmitted its request promising to

certain gate, revise school schedules, and
encourage families to carpool.

Sherrod gets biggest ‘I’m sorry’— from Obama
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Flooded with apologies
from everywhere, Shirley Sherrod got the
biggest “I’m sorry” of all Thursday — from a
contrite President Barack Obama, who per-
sonally appealed to the ousted worker to come
back.
Sherrod, who was forced to resign on
Monday because of racial comments she
made at an NAACP gathering, was asked by
Obama to rejoin the federal government and
transform “this misfortune” into a chance to
use her life experiences to help people, said
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.
Obama had stayed out of the public brouha-
ha that followed Sherrod’s ouster from the
Agriculture Department after a conservative
blog posted a clip of the black woman’s com-
ments and portrayed her as racist. Once it
became clear that the speech in question was
advocating racial reconciliation, not racism,
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack apolo-
gized to her and offered her a new job
Wednesday. Gibbs also apologized publicly
“for the entire administration.”
Thursday morning, Obama spoke by phone
with Sherrod and said he hoped she would
accept Agriculture’s offer of a new position,
Gibbs said. He added that Obama thought
Sherrod was “very gracious.”

Vilsack was too quick to

Shirley Sherrod “He jumped the gun,

Obama signs unemployment bill FESTA
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Federal checks could
begin flowing again as early as next week to
millions of jobless people who lost up to
seven weeks of unemployment benefits in a
congressional standoff.
President Barack Obama on Thursday
signed into law a restoration of benefits for
people who have been out of work for six
months or more. Congress approved the
measure earlier in the day. The move ended an
interruption that cut off payments averaging
about $300 a week to 2 1/2 million people
who have been unable to find work in the
aftermath of the nation’s long and deep reces-
sion.
At stake are up to 73 weeks of federally
financed benefits for people who have
exhausted their 26 weeks of state jobless ben-
efits. About half of the approximately 5 mil-
lion people in the program have had their ben-

aged beneficiaries to keep updating their
paperwork in hopes of speeding payments
once the program was restored.
In states like Pennsylvania and New York,
the back payments should go out next week,
officials said. In others, like Nevada and North
Carolina, it may take a few weeks for all of
those eligible to receive benefits.
Thursday’s 272-152 House vote sent the bill
to the White House.
” Americans who are fighting to find a good
job and support their families will finally get
the support they need to get back on their feet
during these tough economic times,” Obama
said in a statement issued after signing the
measure.
The House action came less than 24 hours
after a mostly party-line Senate vote
Wednesday on the measure, which is just one
piece of a larger Democratic jobs agenda that
has otherwise mostly collapsed after months
of battles with Republicans.
Reducing long-term services, such as case
management and legal representation, limits
CORA’s clients the ability to flee abusive rela-

said.
While CORA has been forced to limit the
services it now provides, Bouthilier acts as a

Leave police and firefighters on the streets
By Wade Green of consolidation was foreign. ume has increased more than 150 and fire chiefs took this into
Redwood City firefighters were the percent. Conversely, other city account when placing fire stations.

R
edwood City firefighters
have great respect for for-
mer mayor Jim Hartnett
and have welcomed his sage advice
for many years. We do, however,
disagree with some of his assess-
ments in the July 15 guest perspec-
tive “A different path for city serv-
ice.”
Hartnett writes the “Redwood
City firefighters are vigorously
opposing necessary reform borne
from the fiscal crisis and perhaps
would oppose contracting with
Woodside.” The only things we are
vigorously opposing are dangerous
cuts to the public’s safety. We
embrace the idea of consolidation.
In April, firefighters from Redwood
City, Belmont San Carlos and San
Mateo met to discuses consolida-
tion of the three departments and
presented our ideas to our adminis-
tration. As of today, we have heard
nothing back from the City Council
regarding this matter.
Historically speaking, Hartnett
knows that the Redwood City Fire
Department has been on the cutting
edge of reform for more than a
decade, more than any other
department in Redwood City. We
partnered with Hartnett and the
City Council to push an aggressive
agenda of consolidation when
times were easier and the concept
first to lead the way.
We are confused and disappoint-
ed by Hartnett’s assessment of our
position because he has worked
with us implementing the very
ideas he suggests. Hartnett assisted
Redwood City firefighters with our
progressive consolidation efforts
starting with dispatch centers here
in Redwood City that have grown
to the entire county. We have
already consolidated our emer-
gency medical services battalion,
training division and now our fire
prevention bureau with other cities
to increase efficiencies and cost
effectiveness. We participated in,
and whole hardily support, these
mergers when they make sense.
Redwood City firefighters support-
ed the boundary drops between city
jurisdiction so all citizens in
Redwood City and surrounding
communities could get the best,
cost effective and, most important-
ly, rapid fire and paramedic service.
Many of the current councilmem-
bers are now encouraging other
city departments to consolidate and
think outside the box ... it makes
sense to us.
What Redwood City firefighters
are advocating is smart government
and smart cuts. Over the years, fire
department staffing has decreased
by 11 percent while our call vol-
departments have seen staffing lev-
els rise by 54 percent and up to 102
percent over the same period of
time. We have added paramedics to
all apparatus at a nominal cost,
providing a much higher level of
service for citizens in need of med-
ical care. When compared to other
fire agencies, Redwood City fire-
fighters have the lowest cost per
call in all of San Mateo County.
We have embraced the city’s needs
by conserving costs and running
precariously lean budgets for quite
some time.
Shouldn’t responsible agencies
such as the fire department who
consolidated early and made tough
cuts long ago be supported instead
of cut? Both the Redwood City fire
and police departments have the
lowest ratios of firefighters/police
officers to citizens in all San Mateo
County. Where do we draw the
line?
Hartnett quotes Fire Chief Jim
Skinner’s statement that “there is a
Redwood City fire station and a
Woodside Fire Protection District
station one mile apart from each
other which together average about
two calls a day.” This statement
does not take into account the area
in question is full of hilly, windy
roads and narrow streets, making
travel slow at best. Our city fathers
The information reported does not
reflect calls these engine companies
respond to outside their respective
districts because of the dynamic
automatic aid and move up agree-
ments. Implementing Hartnett’s
idea into the current response plan
means more than 1,000 times a
year there would be no paramedic
or fire protection in all of Emerald
Lakes. This would significantly
increase the time it takes for emer-
gency crews from outside the area
to reach an emergency in Emerald
Lakes. In addition, the Emerald
Lakes area holds the highest rated
urban wild land fire danger in
Redwood City. This fire danger
coupled with narrow roads should
give pause to the idea of leaving
Emerald Lakes unprotected. While
Hartnett suggests consolidating and
closing fire stations, may we sug-
gest something else? Just like
teachers being laid off while
administrative staff goes
untouched, let’s leave teachers in
the classroom, police and firefight-
ers on the streets and cut bloated
administrative bureaucracy.

president of theRedwood City

Editor,
I thought the suggestions and
comments of Jim Hartnett, “A dif-
ferent path for city services,” in
the July 15 edition of the Daily
Journal, regarding the consolida-
tion of police and fire services in
Peninsula cities made total sense.
Cities and counties have to look at
making their operations more effi-
cient. One place to start is stop-
ping the duplication of fire and
police departments and instead
look to combining
departments/districts so that we
maximize the efficiencies of serv-
ices that are dedicated to a partic-
ular area without regard to city
boundaries. It makes no sense for
cities the size of Belmont, San
Carlos and Menlo Park to continue
to have their own police and/or
fire departments. They need to
look for combining their depart-
ments with cities that they abut
and stop this underutilization of
services to our communities. If
businesses ran as inefficiently as
city governments, they would
either be bankrupt or out of busi-
ness. All organizations, profit and
nonprofit, have had to reassess the
way they do business and adjust
their operations accordingly. City
governments need to follow their
lead.

Simplify for change
Editor,
Jim Hartnett’s Guest Perspective
“A different path for city servic-
es,” printed in the July 15 edition
of the Daily Journal, is right on
but fails to suggest and push for
ed. We need to do more with less.
Just imagine a large multi-national
company grappling with the same
issues: No money, overpaid, under
worked employees, bloated
salaries, pensions and benefits that
are bankrupting us. They would
have made the decision, make the
change and be in execution mode
for the last two years. In contrast,
our local governments, in total
denial until the budgets this year,
refuse to look the problem in the
eye, refuse to demand concessions
from the unions and are unwilling
to drive down the cost structure
now. We all know that consolida-
tion and outsourcing makes sense
to purge the cost out of activities
and purchases so what are they
waiting for? Eliminate the little
kingdoms in each of the cities,
eliminate layers of management
and get these pensions and bene-
fits off the books through a move
into 401K plans. Why are they
waiting?

Beyond ‘overambitious’
Editor,
I was glad to see the Daily
Journal’s editorial, in the July 14
edition, calling Cargill’s plan to
build a new city in retired
Redwood City salt ponds “over-
ambitious,” yet I’m troubled.
While it’s welcome that this opin-
ion acknowledges that our com-
munity has taken “strides away
from the development of former
Bay land” and “recognized the
intrinsic value of Bay restoration,”
the editorial falls short of making
the logical conclusion. Whereas
the other leading papers in our
rials strongly opposing this mas-
sive project, the Daily Journal
suggests that it might be less mis-
guided if it were just smaller, and
pushed up next to the port.
Seriously? A housing project next
to industrial facilities? The Daily
Journal’s suggestion of a 15 per-
cent solution just emphasizes that
this sea-level salt pond develop-
ment is simply wrong. Since the
Daily Journal’s last editorial on
this issue, state and federal agen-
cies have noted the significant
environmental value of these
ponds and their benefit to the Bay,
and our community. Elected offi-
cials from St. Helena to Gilroy,
from Menlo Park to Martinez,
have spoken up by the dozens in
an extraordinary open letter, stat-
ing that we don’t build in the Bay
any more. I hope that the Daily
Journal will also take an editorial
stand and categorically oppose
this blatantly inappropriate devel-
opment.

Wall Street surges
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks had their
biggest rally in two weeks Thursday as
earnings and economic reports reassured
investors that the recovery, while uncer-
tain, is continuing.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
201 points after second-quarter earnings
from Caterpillar Inc., UPS Inc. and other
companies beat analysts’ forecasts. A
better than expected report on housing
and encouraging signs of growth in
Europe added to the upbeat mood.
But investors might be ready to sell
again when trading resumes Friday.
After the close of regular trading,
Amazon.com Inc. issued a report that
fell short of expectations. Its stock fell
almost 14 percent in after-hours trading.
If the market gives back gains Friday, it
would follow its pattern of falling on dis-
appointments in what so far has been a
mixed earnings season.
Microsoft Corp. also released earnings
after the close of trading and beat analyst
estimates. Its stock fell slightly.
Investors had plenty of reasons to buy
on Thursday. Caterpillar said its orders
are growing and production will pick up
in the second half of the year. UPS raised
its outlook because of spending by busi-
nesses. Caterpillar’s stock rose 1.7 per-
cent, while UPS gained 5.2 percent.
Recovery mixed on strong earnings
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A flurry of strong
earnings reports renewed Wall Street’s
optimism in the economic recovery,
even as new data Thursday showed
homes sales sinking and claims for
unemployment benefits rising.
Sales of previously occupied homes
fell 5.1 percent in June to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 5.37 million, the
National Association of Realtors said.
Meanwhile, new claims for unemploy-
ment insurance jumped by 37,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 464,000, the Labor
Department said. Seasonal factors boost-
ed new requests for benefits. Still, first-
time claims remain elevated, pointing to
a sluggish job market.

SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon.com
Inc. said Thursday that its second-quar-
ter net income jumped, bolstered by
shoppers who spent more with the online
retailer even as consumer confidence fell
overall.
But the Seattle-based company’s earn-
ings fell below analyst expectations, and
its stock dove in after-hours trading.

SALT LAKE CITY — Twitter Inc.
has announced — in a tweet, of course
— that it will build a huge data center in
Utah, making it the latest company to set
up computer-intensive operations in a
state with cheap electricity and a busi-

Paul Cozzatti, announced Wednesday
that Twitter’s technical operations would

Cozzatti said the move was necessary

Chris Hobart, founder of Hobart
Financial Group in Charlotte, N.C., said
the outlooks are especially important
because, if companies expect to grow,
they’ll need to hire again.
If improved forecasts lead to jobs
growth, “then this can be better than a
good quarter or good second half, (it can
mean) we’ve got a good economy,”
Hobart said.
A report on the housing market, while
still showing a slowdown, was reassur-
ing because it wasn’t as bad as investors
expected. The National Association of
Realtors said sales of previously occu-
pied homes fell to an annual rate of 5.37
million in June from 5.66 million a
month earlier. Economists forecast the
sales rate to fall to 5.18 million.
The Dow rose 201.77, or 2 percent, to
10,322.30. That was the Dow’s biggest
advance since it rose 274 points on July
7.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose
24.08, or 2.3 percent, to 1,093.67, while
the Nasdaq composite index rose 58.56,
or 2.7 percent, to 2,245.89.
Only 397 stocks fell on the New York
Stock Exchange, while 2,675 rose.
Consolidated volume came to 4.9 billion
shares, up from 4.8 billion on
Wednesday.
Traders largely wrote off a jump in the
private research group, said its gauge of
future economic activity dropped in
June. It was the second decline in three
months.
But investors looked past the latest
reports to focus on earnings from a
broad range of companies that showed
businesses aren’t seeing a slowdown.
Caterpillar Inc., 3M Co., UPS Inc. and
AT&T Inc. all topped earnings forecasts
and raised their outlooks for future prof-
it.
Stocks soared as analysts noted that
job growth could be on the horizon if
companies expect to grow.

more than 190 points in midday trading.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters

number of people seeking unemploy-
ment benefits for the first time. The
increase was likely skewed by seasonal
factors. Instead, investors focused on
earnings from a broad range of compa-
nies that showed businesses aren’t see-
ing a slowdown in the recovery. News of
corporate deals also lifted shares.
Meanwhile, European markets rose
after a report showed unexpected growth
in the 16-nation group that uses the euro.
In recent months, investors worldwide
have been concerned that rising govern-
ment debt in Europe would stall a global
recovery. A jump in Europe’s purchasing
managers index Thursday was a relief
after forecasts of a possible recession on
the continent.
The economic reports out of Europe
were “a big surprise because everyone
expects that to be the Achilles heel of the
global economy,” said Anthony Chan,
chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private
Wealth Management in New York.
Problems in Europe set off the big
drop in stocks in late April. As Greece
struggled to make debt payments and
ratings agencies downgraded the govern-
ment debt of several companies, stocks
plunged in the U.S. on fears that the
domestic recovery was in jeopardy.
Stocks then fell further as U.S. econom-
ic reports showed that the recovery was
at best bumpy. Some investors feared a
“double dip,” or the economy falling
back into recession.

Still, the housing industry has strug-
gled the past two months since govern-
ment incentives ended in April, even
with low home prices and mortgage
rates. High unemployment, tight credit
and a rise in foreclosures have kept
many people from buying.
“The economy and the housing market
are going to remain stagnant for a long
time,” said Sam Khater, senior econo-
mist at real estate data provider
CoreLogic. “There’s nothing that’s
going to propel sales anytime soon. It’s
all about jobs and income growth.”
First-time jobless claims jumped after

Toyota puts 4 cylinder in 2011 Sienna

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s time to stop calling the Toyota

Sienna a minivan. There’s nothing
“mini” about the comfortable and
roomy interior of this nearly 17-foot-
long vehicle.
Maybe it’s time to stop calling the
Sienna boring, too. As a new, third-
generation van with arguably its best
exterior styling ever, upgraded interi-
or and a new engine, the 2011 Sienna
is noteworthy.
It’s the first Sienna with a fuel-effi-
cient four-cylinder engine, and
therefore ranks second best among
vans in gasoline mileage with a 19-
miles-per-gallon city rating and 24
mpg on the highway. Only the 2010
Mazda5, which also comes with a
four-cylinder engine, has a higher
federal government fuel economy
rating in the segment. But the
Mazda5 is smaller and lighter weight
than the Sienna.
The Sienna also retains its all-
wheel drive feature — the only one
of the traditional minivans to do so.
Best of all, the Sienna’s base man-
ufacturer’s suggested retail price,
including destination charge, is
reduced from 2010, thanks to the
four-cylinder engine. The base 2011
Sienna starts at $25,070 and has the
187-horsepower four banger, auto-
matic transmission and front-wheel
drive. The lowest-priced V-6-pow-
ered 2011 Sienna, which has the
same engine as last year’s model,
starts at $26,310. This is up from the
$25,350 starting retail price of the V-
6-powered 2010 Sienna. The lowest
starting retail price for a 2011 Sienna
with all-wheel drive is $31,940. All-
wheel-drive Siennas come only the
V-6.
In comparison, the top seller in the
segment, the 244-horsepower, 2010
Honda Odyssey with V-6, has a start-

ing MSRP plus destination charge that’s high-
er than those of both the four-cylinder and six-
cylinder 2011 Siennas — $27,585. The 2010
Dodge Grand Caravan starts at $24,095, but
its base V-6 has just 175 horses, less horse-
power than the Sienna’s new four cylinder
provides.
The Sienna’s sales have declined over the
years, putting the Toyota van in fourth place
last calendar year in U.S. sales in the segment.
But the new, attractive styling, which includes
flared sheet metal at the fenders and a bolder
front end, surely help the Sienna shake its pre-
vious bland look.
The ride is still very compliant and com-
fortable for folks who don’t want to feel much
of anything from the road beneath them. The
test 2011 Sienna LE with four-cylinder engine
even rode gently over speed bumps.
The vehicle rides on the same platform as
last year’s model. But the front strut suspen-
sion and rear torsion-beam axle suspension
are retuned to keep the body more controlled
and less wallowy. Still, a driver notices the
vehicle’s mass and weight shifting as it goes
through corners and curves, especially on off-
camber roads. The Sienna stays on its line, but
there can be an unsettled feeling for an
aggressive driver.
A new sporty Sienna — the SE — comes
with a firmer ride, 19-inch wheels and tires
and revised power steering. It starts at
$31,360. Note that despite the positioning of
the SE as a sporty van, it comes with the same
six-speed automatic transmission and 3.5-
liter, double overhead cam V-6, with 265
horsepower and 245 foot-pounds of torque at
4,700 rpm, that’s in other V-6 Siennas.
The test LE Sienna, however, had the new
2.7-liter, double overhead cam four cylinder
that produces 187 horses and 186 foot-pounds
of torque at 4,100 rpm. Mated to the six-speed
automatic, the engine was quite capable and
surprising for its strong power delivery. It
could be easy for many drivers to forget that
AUTO
there’s a four cylinder under the hood, espe-
cially in city traffic where so many vans are
used daily.
On country roads where it needed to pass
other vehicles efficiently, the test Sienna per-
formed well. There was more engine noise
during these situations, and the van didn’t jet
right past others. But power came on respon-
sively, nonetheless, and was confidence-
inspiring, even if I did notice shift points from
the transmission now and then.
Fuel mileage was good, averaging 20.9 mpg
in travel that was 70 percent on city roads and
30 percent at highway speeds. In contrast, the
V-6-powered 2010 Honda Odyssey, is rated at
17/25 mpg by the federal government.
The Sienna has a new, attractive interior for
2011. It’s more modern than its predecessor
and seems reminiscent of the Toyota Venza
crossover sport utility vehicle in its grouping
of controls and clear presentation of gauges.
The dashboard-mounted gear shifter in the
Sienna, took some attention, though, as it did-
n’t have the natural feel of a floor-mounted
shifter.
Passengers loved the large side windows for
the first and second rows in the Sienna, and
the fact the second-row windows opened
about two-thirds of the way was a plus. Front
and second-row seats also had oh-so-long
tracks to shift legroom fore and aft.
Cupholders and storage spots, which include
two gloveboxes and a center console large
enough to hold a purse, abound.
But the rearview camera monitor on the test
vehicle was quite small, and drivers making
turns must be careful to look all around the
large, steel pillars at the sides of the wind-
shield in order to see pedestrians.
Fit and finish on the tester was not up to the
usual Toyota standard, with some items, such
as the plastic covering on these pillars, being
loose. Interior wasn’t as quiet as some other
vans.
The Sienna comes with much standard safe-
ty equipment, including antilock brakes, cur-
tain air bags for all three rows of passengers,
electronic stability control and a knee air bag
that helps keep the driver properly positioned
behind the steering wheel during a crash.
GM to pay $3.5 billion for
auto financing company
By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — General Motors Co. will
buy AmeriCredit Corp. for $3.5 billion, a
deal that allows the automaker to expand
loans to customers with poor credit and offer
more leases, key areas where GM must grow
to accelerate its car sales.
But the acquisition of the independent
auto financing company also means that
GM, which is 61 percent owned by the U.S.
government, is getting back into the busi-
ness of making risky loans. GM said it
advised the U.S. Treasury Department of the
acquisition, although government approval
was not required.
GM executives have said for months that
they were missing sales opportunities due to
lack of credit for lease deals and financing
for subprime buyers, those with credit
scores below 620 on a 300-to-850-point
scale. About 40 percent of U.S. customers
have below prime credit scores, said Chris
Liddell, GM’s chief financial officer.
“Clearly there’s an opportunity to bring
more people into our showrooms and help
them with finance,” he said after the deal
was announced on Thursday.
Customers should now expect more lease
deals from GM, which gets just 7 percent of
its sales from leases, compared with 21 per-
cent for the industry, he said. Only 4 percent
of GM’s sales come from subprime buyers,
which the company hopes to expand with
the acquisition. Liddell said even a modest
increase in subprime buyers from 4 percent
to 5 percent would be significant. GM sold
just over 1 million vehicles in the U.S. dur-
ing the first half of the year.
Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation Inc.,
the largest auto dealership chain in the U.S.,
said he was thrilled with the acquisition
because it will help his dealers increase
sales.
“This is a big, strategic deal for General
Motors. They absolutely needed to add this
segment of the market to meet the needs of
the customers coming into our dealerships,”
he said.
The deal allows AmeriCredit to expand
into more GM dealerships, while continuing
to offer financing to the more than 11,000
dealerships it has relationships with across
the U.S.
The two companies have had a financial

relationship for years. AmeriCredit, which
already works with about 4,000 GM dealers,
now gets about one-third of its business
from financing new and used GM vehicles,
GM said. Overall, the auto financing compa-
ny has about 800,000 customers and $9 bil-
lion worth of auto loans on its books.
Under the $3.5 billion deal, GM will pay
$24.50 in cash for each share of
AmeriCredit. That’s a 24 percent premium
over the company’s closing price on
Wednesday.
Investors were happy with the news, push-
ing up shares of AmeriCredit by $4.25, or
21.6 percent, to $23.95 in afternoon trading
Thursday.
AmeriCredit, based in Fort Worth, Texas,
has been posting healthy earnings of late
after suffering losses at the start of the reces-
sion and credit crisis. It reported net income
of $63 million, or 45 cents per share, in its
fiscal third quarter, which ended March 31.
GM expects the deal to close in the fourth
quarter.
The automaker says that its partner, Ally
Financial — formerly known as GMAC
Financial Services Inc. — will continue to
finance GM’s dealer inventory and make
loans to buyers with good credit. GM says it
is not considering a purchase of Ally’s auto
financing unit. GM sold controlling interest
in GMAC in 2006. The company eventually
had to be bailed out by the U.S. government
because of problems with its home mortgage
loan unit.
Liddell said the AmeriCredit acquisition is
helpful, but not essential for GM’s planned
public stock offering, which may take place
in the fourth quarter. The sale would help
the government get rid of at least part of its
ownership stake in the company.
“I’ll describe it as another useful building
block in the foundation for the IPO,” Liddell
said.

FREMONT — Don’t ask the Half
Moon Bay Little League Junior All-
Stars what losing feels like — they
couldn’t begin to tell you.
Half Moon Bay stayed perfect on
the season after an 8-5 win over
Niles-Centerville of Fremont on
Thursday to win the Section 3 tour-
nament championship at Gomes
Elementary School. Half Moon Bay
(6-0) advances to the divisional
round and plays on 8 p.m. Saturday
against Hollister at American River
College.
“These kids are very resilient, no
question, but having a little bit less
of heart attack mode moments
would be nice,” Half Moon Bay
manager Rich Forslund said with a
smile.
Indeed, the end of Thursday’s
game had both a suspenseful and
surreal feel to it. It ended in near-
pitch darkness, with Half Moon Bay
leading 8-5 but with Niles-
Centerville having runners at first
and third with two outs in the bot-
tom of the seventh inning.
However, reliever Zach LeBlanch
— Half Moon Bay’s third pitcher of
the game — struck out Thomas
Cuellar to end the game.
“It got a little nerve-wracking
there at the end,” Forslund said.
“I’m glad we won it because I didn’t
want to have to come back (Friday).
I can’t say enough about all of our
pitchers, and especially with Zach.
He’s got so much poise it’s uncan-
ny.”
How dark was it at the end? Half

Berghammer — who earned the
win by allowing just two earned

San Carlos
JD goes for
another title
S
ome things never change. Despite
going through a massive overhaul
with its roster, the tradition-rich San
Carlos Joe DiMaggio baseball team has
reached the World Series again.
Defending World Series champion San
Carlos opened up play Thursday in Reno
against the Sierra Sundevils. No matter
what happens in the eight-team, double-
elimination tournament — South San
Francisco and Pacifica are also in the field
— it’s a supreme accomplishment for San
Carlos just to reach the Joe DiMaggio
league’s showcase event.
Due to a number of factors, San Carlos
returned only four starters — Jarrod
Hopper, Zach Turner,
Austin March and
Kevin Timko — from
last year’s team. But
even that was a mis-
representation in a
way because Turner
— a stud talent who
will be playing for
Pepperdine next sea-
son — left the team
in the first week of
July and is now playing his summer ball on
San Mateo’s American Legion squad.
No matter. The beat marches on for San
Carlos, which put a 17-3 beatdown on the
San Francisco Barbarians last Saturday to
win the Peninsula League South Division
championship to punch its ticket to the
World Series. Hopper went 5 for 5, March
drove in four runs and Scott Norcross had
three hits and four runs scored.
Hopper is a big reason why San Carlos is
back in the World Series. Coming off a
strong freshman season at the College of
San Mateo — Hopper has since transferred
and will play at Cañada next year — the
standout infielder has been his usual pro-
ductive self, producing at the plate and
making solid plays in the field. More
importantly, Hopper has taken an even
greater leadership role with this year’s
team.
“A lot of the kids on the team have tal-
ent,” Hopper said. “They’re just young and
needed time to develop. It’s a completely
different team this year and we’ve had to
play more as a team. We had to play

Cain didn’t make it easy, getting Arizona’s
hitters to bail on his big, overhand curveball
and surprising them with a fastball that reached
into the mid-90s (mph). The right-hander
struck out nine, including five straight midway
through, and got some defensive help, too.

to take extra bases away from Chris Young in

Sports world picks up environmental pace
By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Chris
Dickerson remembered cringing as
he looked at the excess of empty,
discarded plastic bottles by his
Triple-A teammates in Louisville.
“One guy uses eight bottles a day,
whether it’s Gatorade or water or
juice,” he said, “and all of this stuff
is being thrown in the trash cans.”
The sight of all that waste a cou-
ple of years ago was the tipping
point for Dickerson, a Cincinnati
Reds outfielder.
“Multiply that by a week, by a
year, by the 15 teams in that league.
You’re looking at a tremendous
amount,” said Dickerson, who
developed a passion for ecological
issues while witnessing pollution
problems as he grew up in Southern
California.
In 2008, he helped found the non-
profit organization Players for the
Planet to encourage pro athletes to
be environmental ambassadors in
their communities, proving the pos-
sibility that jocks and treehuggers
can coexist.
As a Minnesota-based sports mar-
keting agency is banking on, profes-
sional franchises — like any profit-
driven businesses — are finding
more ways to go green and make
money at the same time.
There is a certain insular, indul-
gent culture in the sports world that
can create hurdles for social causes
like this to take hold. Sometimes,
they’re masked as mere symbolic
gestures and goodwill-generating
promotions for teams. The sheer
enormity of stadiums makes it diffi-
cult to keep carbon footprints small.
Players can get caught up in the big-
league lifestyle.
“It’s hard to get just any athlete
and even then, they’re like, ‘I love
“… Some of the things these athletes do aren’t necessarily a
green lifestyle.They like the idea,but they’re not necessarily that green.
I think that’s why a lot of them are hesitant to be part of it.”
what you’re doing, but I can’t really
endorse it because I’m driving a big
truck and I have a huge house,”’
Dickerson said. “So some of the
things these athletes do aren’t nec-
essarily a green lifestyle. They like
the idea, but they’re not necessarily
that green. I think that’s why a lot of
them are hesitant to be part of it.”
Dickerson praised the use of solar
power at Fenway Park in Boston
and Progressive Field in Cleveland
as progressive ideas he’d like to see
replicated more throughout the
majors. He pointed to supportive e-
mails and letters he has received as
examples of momentum. He also
insisted real change can be accom-
plished in easy steps.
Doesn’t take a lot
“That’s the message we’re trying
to get across: It doesn’t have to be a
huge shift in your daily lifestyle,”
Dickerson said. “It’s little things
like getting a recycle bin, turning off
all the lights when you leave your
house, trying to cut down on your
air conditioning, using compact flu-
orescent light bulbs.”
Dickerson even has a sign above
his locker that says, “Trees are for
hugging.”
In Minnesota, trees are being
planted by the Department of
Natural Resources — 100 of them
each time a Twins pitcher breaks a
bat during a game this season in
partnership with the team. Target
Field, when it opened this year, was
given the highest Leadership in

score for a major league ballpark by
the U.S. Green Building Council.
With Twins CEO Jim Pohlad
pushing the issue during the con-
struction process, an extra $2 mil-
lion was budgeted for LEED fea-
tures. Architect Populous and
builder Mortenson helped factor in
features like a rainwater recycling
system that’s used to irrigate the
field and wash the seating area.
By the team’s estimate, 20 per-
cent of customers take mass transit,
and more than 400 people ride a
bike to games.
“We didn’t know we’d be build-
ing new bike racks, but certainly
that’s a good problem to have,”
Twins president Dave St. Peter said.
Arguments can be made that
sports, by size alone, are simply
anti-green.
“You can always look at things in
different contexts,” said John
Carmody, director of the Center for
Sustainable Building Research at
the University of Minnesota.
“Should we have four teams sharing
one stadium? Should we be building
a stadium at all? But the more real-
istic and pragmatic approach is that
various organizations, like baseball
teams, have their needs. We aren’t
questioning whether they’re having
a field. We’re saying that within the
context of having a field, we’re
going to make it as sustainable as
possible.”
All sports becoming
environmentally conscious
Baseball isn’t alone. As the green
movement has begun to mesh into
mainstream society, the pace of
environmentally driven activities
has picked up throughout the indus-
try.
The NFL’s Environmental
Program helps plant trees around
the communities that host the Super
Bowl and seeks to reduce waste and
carbon emissions around the annual
event.
In April, during the NBA’s Green
Week, players wore socks made
from 45 percent organic cotton dur-
ing games. The Dallas Mavericks
gave away reusable grocery bags for
fans who brought plastic trade-ins.
The Phoenix Suns, for a game
against the rival Spurs, handed out
10,000 “Beat San Antonio” signs
for fans made out of paper certified
by the Forest Stewardship Council
as being eco-friendly.
The NHL touted sustainability
initiatives at the draft last month in
Los Angeles, like receptacles for
recyclables at Staples Center and
leftover food donations to a down-
town homeless shelter. The recently
retired Scott Niedermayer became
unofficially known as hockey’s tree-
hugger, the captain of the Anaheim
Ducks and Team Canada who tried
to persuade teammates to drive
hybrid vehicles as he does. Boston
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference
recently took a Sierra Club-organ-
ized tour of the oil spill site in
Louisiana to help raise awareness of
environmental issues.
“As athletes you have more of a
platform for anything you may want
to speak your mind about, some-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
thing that’s close to your heart,” said
Twins pitcher Kevin Slowey. “It’s
neat to hear somebody like
Dickerson stepping forward and
doing that. I think everybody appre-
ciates it certainly. You look at the
canisters in here, the recycling’s
always full, and it’s a neat thing. It
doesn’t take a lot to make a differ-
ence, and I think that’s maybe the
message that translates the best: a
little bit goes a long way.”
Money still the main ‘green’
This is big business, though. The
name of the game, even with every
best intention, still revolves around
the other kind of green.
“At the end of the day, the indus-
try will move only if there’s money
to be made,” said Mark Andrew,
founder of the Minnesota-based
sports marketing agency
GreenMark. “You can actually
make a profit by doing right by the
environment.”
GreenMark’s mission is to put
sports organizations in touch with
green businesses to create sponsor-
ships. GreenMark, which also
counts the Boston Red Sox and San
Francisco 49ers as clients, connect-
ed a company that specializes in
clean-water innovation, Pentair,
with the Twins to implement the
rainwater recycling system for
Target Field.
Pentair’s profile was raised, and
the team gained a major sponsor.
“Sports has lagged behind the rest
of the private sector in implement-
ing truly green practices and opera-
tions,” Andrew said. “However,
they’re catching up and sports as an
industry is doing a much better job
than they were.”

USA Basketball depending on versatility
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Andre Iguodala is the only
player listed at two positions on the USA
Basketball men’s national team roster, though
not the only one who will have to fill multiple
roles.
The team has lost big men Amare
Stoudemire, David Lee and Robin Lopez, and
now the 19 players being looked at during the
first week of training camp have to be able to
fill in at those spots as well as their own.
“I played 1 through 4 this whole week,”
Iguodala said Thursday. “I played the majority
of time at the 3. I played the point a little bit,
too. I just want to be out there and contribute
to the success of this team.
“I think I’m a (player) who can diversify and
play anywhere. It really shows that you don’t
have a big weakness. Coaches can move you
anywhere and plug you right in. They will
always include you in (the roster) because you
can play anywhere.
The Americans were already short-handed
heading into the summer after the members of
the 2008 Olympic team declined to play —
though Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul attended
the first half of practice Thursday and are
expected to visit again.

Schleck takes stage, Contador keeps lead
By Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COL DU TOURMALET, France —
Alberto Contador never wavered.
Under a blistering attack from Andy
Schleck, the Spaniard tightened his grip on a
third Tour de France title in four years by
matching every acceleration his rival threw at
him during the ride up a fabled Pyrenean
climb in Thursday’s 17th stage.
Schleck delivered on his promise to ride
well on the last mountain of this year’s race.
It just wasn’t enough to shake Contador.
Schleck set a punishing pace up the last 6
miles on the ascent of the Col du Tourmalet,
but the Spaniard shadowed him wheel-to-
wheel the whole way. In the end, Schleck won
the 108.1-mile trek from Pau by a half bike-
length, but failed in his bid to take the yellow
jersey from Contador and gain time on his
rival ahead of Saturday’s time trial.
“I did short accelerations really many times,
it was the only possibility I had to try to drop
him,” Schleck said. “But he was too strong.”

in Turkey.
“Versatility is a good thing for us, and the
defensive pressure,” Krzyzewski said. “We
The Tourmalet was the last of three tough
climbs in the stage made in cool temperatures
under a drizzle and fog. Frenzied fans —
including some near-streakers — ran along-
side the duelists on the ascent, at least once
seeming to irk Schleck. On the second climb,
the Col du Soudor, a flock of sheep strayed
into the road, causing some riders to swerve,
brake and stop, though no one crashed.
With only three days of racing left before
Sunday’s finish in Paris, and two of the stages
unlikely to alter the top of the standings, the
two men knew that Thursday’s leg was cru-
cial.
Schleck had vowed to make an all-out
effort.
On the Tourmalet, he repeatedly turned
around, at times speaking to Contador or try-
ing to catch his gaze in an attempt at mind
games. The Spaniard never took the bait.
“I wanted him to pass, I wanted to be behind
and attack him, but of course, he’s very smart,
and I knew that he only had to stay in my
wheel,” Schleck said. “I think Alberto did the
right thing, he’s a great professional.”
have to not just play hard, we have to play so
we don’t waste that effort by fouling or gam-
bling. The guys got to know what we want
them to do and how it fits their skills. And I
thought we had a great effort today.”
Iguodala, a guard/forward from the
Philadelphia 76ers, is one of several players
who feels he can fit in at several positions.
“Rudy (Gay) can play 2, 3 or 4, (Kevin
Durant) can play anywhere on the floor,
(Lamar Odom) is an older guy who can con-
tinue that trend like Scottie Pippen,” Iguodala
said. “I think he can play the 1, 3, 4 and 5. We
have that kind of versatility across the board.”
Krzyzewski said no lineups are set and all
players have to be ready to mix into any situa-
tion.
“It’s not so much lineups,” Krzyzewski said.
“Our team, just like the (2008) Olympic team,
even though it’s not the same personnel, has to
be the same as far as knowing how to play
three or four minutes and somebody else is
going to come in. How do you adjust to that?
And how do you adjust to only playing two
minutes in a half?”
Odom is one player who is certain he can
make any adjustment the coaches ask of him.
He frequently mentioned that he wants to “do
as many things as possible” and contribute
“any way I can help the team.”
“(I can play) every position,” Odom said.
Every time Schleck made a burst, Contador
was right there, dancing lightly side to side up
out of his saddle in a smooth rhythm.
Contador did what he needed to, and
appeared to slow at the end, leaving Schleck
to win his second stage this Tour, in 5 hours, 3
minutes, 29 seconds.
“He was really so strong and at the end, the
sprint for me was not the most important
thing,” said Contador, who finished in the
same time to remain in front by 8 seconds.
“Today, the most important thing for me was
not to lose time.”
The wild card now is Saturday’s 32.3-mile
time-trial, a discipline in which Contador
excels. Schleck said before Thursday’s stage
that he’d need to pick up a minute on
Contador to have a chance of victory.
It was a day of scaled-down and revised
expectations.
“I changed my mind when I crossed the fin-
ish line today,” Schleck said. “We will see in
the time trial.”
“My dad always used to say that the one
who did a good time trial, he fell off the bike

“When it comes to basketball, I’m a basketball
player. I don’t have a true position. Whatever
you need me to do you need me to fill in?
“In baseball, they’d call me a utility guy. If
you need me to pitch, I’ll pitch or if you need
me to pinch hit, I’ll pinch hit or play third base,
second base, first base or center field. (With 10
guards on the team) you’ve got to let them do
their thing. I’m basically at the 4 or 5, but just
kind of roaming; (I can) get the ball off the
glass and I can push it.”
Odom is listed as a forward, as is Iguodala,
Gay, Danny Granger, Jeff Green, Kevin Love
and Gerald Wallace, while the centers at train-
ing camp are Brook Lopez and Tyson
Chandler. But positions aren’t important in
international play, where big men often play
on the perimeter.
“So both (Green) and Kevin Love have to
play both,” Krzyzewski said. “You have got to
figure out how to have the best players with the
best talent on your team and devise a system.
Guard is a very talented position on this team.”
Sacramento’s Tyreke Evans, last season’s
Rookie of the Year, sat out as a precaution
because of a sore ankle. But the Americans are
well stocked in the backcourt.
“We’re guard oriented,” USA Basketball
chairman Jerry Colangelo said. “We’re athlet-
ic, very much so. And we don’t have a lot of
bigs.”
when he finished,” Schleck said, “and that’s
what I plan to do on Saturday.”
Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong,
who finished 4:12 behind the leading duo in
17th place, again revised down his hopes at
the Tour.
At the start of the three-week race, the 38-
year-old Texan had hoped to be a contender in
his last Tour. That aspiration vanished in the
debut in the Alps in Stage 8, when crashes
slowed him down three times and he lagged in
the climbs.
Then, Armstrong began angling for a stage
victory.
His last big chance for that came in
Tuesday’s 16th stage, but he came up short in
a final sprint among breakaway riders to finish
sixth.
After Thursday’s final mountain day, his
expectations came down again. Asked what
the chances were now of winning a stage,
Armstrong replied: “Slim to none.”
He’s now focused on making sure his
RadioShack squad maintains its lead in the
team general classification.

Elway ready to step back into NFL
By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — John Elway is ready
to get back into the NFL.
The Hall of Fame quarterback
who retired in 1999 after winning
his second straight Super Bowl in
Denver is planning to attend some
of the Broncos’ training camp prac-
tices this summer and has agreed to
help market the team’s game in
London in September.
Elway told the Denver Post
recently that he’d also eventually

game’s first pitch for a home run. “It
was dark out there and you couldn’t

able to win it when we did and it
was a good feeling.”
Forslund said the strength of the

said he had no news to report from
owner Pat Bowlen regarding his
desire to be a co-owner but was
eager to help his old team in many
ways.
Elway, who carries a handicap of
zero and fired an 11-over-par 83 at
the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club
on Thursday, reconnected with the
Broncos on the golf course this
summer.
He teed off last month with
Broncos second-year coach Josh
McDaniels and the two discussed
ways he could be involved with the
evident against Niles-Centerville. In
between Berghammer and
LeBlanch’s performances was a
clutch pitching effort from Kyle
Harwood, who inherited a bases-
loaded, one-out situation in the
sixth. After walking the first batter
he faced, Harwood recorded a field-
er’s choice forceout at the plate and
a fly out to get his team out of a big
jam.
“We still haven’t played our best
baseball yet, but our pitching has
been outstanding,” Forslund said.
Half Moon Bay isn’t too shabby
with the bats, either. The lineup set

tle contact with the team during the
latter part of Mike Shanahan’s
tenure.
He isn’t doing his famous heli-
copter dive back into football, just
getting his feet wet again.
“I think it’s going to be just a
step-by-step type thing as needed,”
Elway said. “Kind of be around
them a little bit more. Do some stuff
on the business side for them with
sponsors and stuff, to get a little bit

Berghammer’s leadoff home run,
Chet Silveria doubled, Cole Watts
walked and Rico Nuño singled to
load the bases.
Silveria scored when Mike Rupert
reached on an error, and two batters
later, Henry Fassinger drew a RBI
walk to make it 3-0. Daniel Welch
followed with a run-scoring sacri-
fice fly to center field, and Rupert
eventually scored after a pair of
wild pitches from Niles-Centerville
starter Andrew Llanos.
Nuño paced Half Moon Bay’s 10-

Berghammer had two hits and
The Broncos are eager for Elway,
who turned 50 in June, to be a part
of their future and not just their past.
Whether that means Bowlen offers
him a piece of the team is uncertain.
Elway said he wanted a clean
break from football when he retired.
He learned the business side of the
sport as one of the owners of
Denver’s Arena League team before
that league folded.
“When I first retired I wanted to
get away. I had been in football my
whole life. My dad was a coach so I
wanted to get away from football,”
Elway said. “And then when I want-

Harwood finished with two RBIs.
Half Moon Bay won despite leaving
12 runners on base. Chalk up the
victory to some clutch pitching and
strong defense, as Half Moon Bay
committed only one error to Niles-
Centerville’s three.
After needing to win only two
games to capture the District 52
tournament, Half Moon Bay went a
perfect 4-0 to capture sectionals.
Even if it had lost Thursday, Half
Moon Bay would have still had a
chance to clinch a winner-take-all
contest today because it was the
only undefeated team left in the
tournament.

the Arena League, to learn the busi-
ness side of it, be on that side and
get some experience.”
Elway said he’s eager to step back
into pro football, especially now
that McDaniels is entering his sec-
ond season in Denver.
“I think that now is the time. Last
year I think would have been tough
with the transition to what they were
going through and so maybe now is
the time to start,” Elway said.
“Timing may be a lot better now in
their minds than it was a while
back.”
And it certainly is in Elway’s
mind.
Half Moon Bay opened sectionals
with a 5-4, eight-inning win over
San Ramon, then beat Niles-
Centerville in another squeaker, 10-
9. After that, it rolled to a 8-2 victo-
ry over Mt. Eden, clinching a spot in
Thursday’s championship round.
Niles-Centerville came through the
loser’s bracket but didn’t have
enough to contain the potent Half
Moon Bay bats.
“Fortunately, we had a big
enough lead there at the end,”
Forslund said. “The kids know how
to stay in the moment and they’ve
been focused and it shows through
their play.”

Hearing Friday to set
trial date for Barry Bonds
SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers and judges
plan a meeting to hash out a trial date in the
long-running Barry Bonds perjury case.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston has
scheduled an 11 a.m. PDT hearing Friday in San
Francisco. Bonds has pleaded not guilty to
charges that he lied to a grand jury in December
2003 when he testified that he never knowingly
used performance-enhancing drugs.
His trial was delayed because the government
unsuccessfully appealed Illston’s order barring
prosecutors from showing key evidence to the
jurors such as urine samples that tested positive
for steroids.
Bonds has six attorneys, the government three
primary prosecutors and Illston has a full dock-
et, making it possible that a start date could slip
into early next year.
Raiders sign rookie S Stevie Brown
ALAMEDA — The Oakland Raiders have
pany in Reno. Peninsula League North
signed seventh-round pick Stevie Brown to a

The deal announced Thursday leaves
Oakland with only two unsigned draft picks.
The Raiders are working on signing first-
round pick Rolando McClain and second-
rounder Lamarr Houston before training camp
starts next week.
Brown was the last of Oakland’s nine draft
picks in April. He was taken 251st overall and
will try to make the team as a reserve defen-
sive back.

Whereas in past years San Carlos could lit-

this season it had to work a tad bit harder for
its victories. But in addition to Hopper and
March’s stellar play, San Carlos has received
strong pitching from Timko and R.J.
Strombom, along with strong contributions
from leadoff hitter Vinny Mazzoni.
“(Despite all the changes) geez, it’s pretty
much the same old, same old for me,” said
Hopper, who has been on the team since the
2006 season. “(Winning the World Series)

South San Francisco plays its first game
against the Douglas-Nevada Tigers today at

action against the Tri-County Gamblers today
at 5 p.m.
South San Francisco (23-4) edged Pacifica
3-2 in an eight-inning thriller last Saturday to
clinch the North Division title. The game was
scoreless after seven until Pacifica scored two
runs in the top of the eighth off RBI singles
from Chris Broadway and Anthony Papaleo.
But South San Francisco responded with a
tremendous comeback effort in the bottom
half.
Eren Miravalles tied things up with a two-
run double before Trevor Kelly produced the
game-winning hit, a run-scoring single with
no outs. South San Francisco starter Anthony
Gomes threw a complete-game, three-hitter.
South San Francisco won its first game in
straight to get eliminated.
Club general manager Carlos Roman cred-
ited first-year manager Joe Ramirez for being
a great motivator and making a smooth tran-
sition (Roman was the team’s manager/head
coach the previous two years and before that,
served as the manager from 1977-90). In
addition to Miravalles, Kelly and Gomes,
South San Francisco has been buoyed by the
play of Steve Knudson, Ryan McGill,
Michael Lu, Shadi Azar, and pitchers Justin
Eclavea and Mark Scannell.
“A lot of our kids have played together or
against each other since they were 7 years
old,” Roman said. “This is a great culmina-
tion for their South City youth baseball
careers. They’ve all come together in the
summer and done a great job.”

Lopez then left an 0-2 pitch at the letters in
third inning to Torres and he hit it out to right-
center for a solo shot that put the Giants up 2-0.
That’s not much of a surprise, though.
Lopez leads the majors with 24 homers
allowed, nine of those coming over his four
July starts.
He didn’t give up another long ball, but was
knocked for another run in the seventh on
Aaron Rowand’s run-scoring single over a
drawn-in infield that put the Giants up 3-0.
Lopez allowed three runs and five hits with
seven strikeouts in seven innings for his third
loss in four starts.
Notes: Arizona 1B Adam LaRoche made
two nifty defensive plays. He leaned over the
rail to snare Freddy Sanchez’s foul popup in the
first inning and had an over-the-shoulder grab

Young stole base No. 20 in the first inning

HGH
Continued from page 13

“The union’s position on HGH testing remains unchanged,”

union executive director Michael Weiner said. “When a test is
available that is scientifically validated and can be administered
safely and without interfering with the players’ ability to com-
pete, it will be considered.
“We have been engaged with the Commissioners’ Office on
this subject for several months, though they have not shared
with us the specifics behind their decision to begin blood test-
ing of minor leaguers,” Weiner said. “We look forward to fur-
ther discussions.”
Outside experts have long questioned the union’s logic
against blood testing. Told of baseball’s announcement, Gary
Wadler, who chairs the committee that determines the World
Anti-Doping Agency’s banned-substances list, said it was “a
significant step forward.”
“One important thing is, as young players evolve through the
minor leagues, the concept of a blood test will no longer be
alien to them,” Wadler said. “It will be easier to implement it in
the major leagues as more players in the minor leagues recog-
nize it makes sense.”
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, also
welcomed the news.
“This is another important step in the fight to return all of the
playing fields in the U.S. to clean athletes,” he said. “We
applaud MLB’s efforts in this regard.”
Tigers president and GM Dave Dombrowski said in an e-
mail to The Associated Press: “Seems like a positive step for
the game.”
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said: “Whatever has to be done
to gain the full trust of the fans, we have to do what we can.”
Blood samples will be collected after games by the National
Center for Drug Free Sport, the organization that currently col-
lects urine samples in the minor leagues. The blood samples
will be taken from the non-dominant arm of players who are
not members of a major league team’s 40-man roster, and sent
to a testing laboratory in Salt Lake City for analysis.
Dr. Gary Green, the medical director for Major League
Baseball, called the testing “a major development in the detec-
tion of a substance that has previously been undetectable.”
“The combination of widespread availability and the lack of
detection have led to reports of use of this drug amongst ath-
letes,” Green said. “This is the first generation of HGH testing
and Major League Baseball will continue to fund the
Partnership for Clean Competition for ongoing research to
refine testing procedures in this area.”
The Partnership for Clean Competition is a coalition of
MLB, the NFL, USADA and the U.S. Olympic Committee that
funds research for drug testing.
The NFL doesn’t currently conduct blood tests for perform-
ance-enhancing drugs. But the league has recently said it would
like to begin such tests, while the union has long been against
them. With the current collective-bargaining contract due to
expire in March, the issue is expected to be a key point in
upcoming negotiations.

Film opts for cliches but
your children will love it
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Little kids and tweens — girls, specifically —
will probably eat up “Ramona and Beezus,” or at
least be suitably amused by it.
They won’t be troubled with things like a lack
of plot or narrative momentum. It won’t bother
them that a character’s hair gets awkwardly
hacked up after a battle with peanut butter, then
appears magically restored to its original length
soon afterward. They won’t think twice about
the fact that a backyard is covered with gaping,
muddy holes after a massive water fight and
pipe explosion, then is miraculously land-
scaped to perfection in a day.
Speaking of a day, that’s apparently how long it
takes to organize a wedding for dozens of guests,
including altering a gown to fit a bride who’s several inches
shorter than the woman who walked down the aisle in it the first
time.
This all sounds like uptight, grown-up nitpicking, probably. But it’s
also a reflection of a weakness in storytelling, which is sad given the
strength of the source material.
“Ramona and Beezus” is based on Beverly Cleary’s beloved children’s
books, which have been around for more than 50 years and vividly cap-
ture the playfulness and awkwardness of youth. Laurie Craig and Nick
Pustay’s script features tales from several of Cleary’s books, and as a
result it feels like a series of individual episodes — both madcap and
heartrending — rather than a cohesive story with any real drive.
Elizabeth Allen, who also directed “Aquamarine,” plays up the antics
for maximum wackiness, and they’re amplified by the uncharacteristi-
cally jaunty, intrusive score by Mark Mothersbaugh.
Newcomer Joey King has a likable way about her, though, as the
high-spirited, accident-prone Ramona Quimby. She’s a natural
young actress, and she even gets a chance to show some range in a
couple of tearjerker moments. But the repeated fantasy sequences,
which depict her imaginative interior world, have an intentionally
rough-hewn aesthetic and end up looking more cheesy than
charming.
Back in the reality, the movie follows the adventures of the 9-
year-old, her teenage sister, Beezus (Disney star Selena Gomez),
baby Roberta, dad Robert (John Corbett) and mom Dorothy
(Bridget Moynahan). Ramona’s Aunt Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin) seemingly
has no job because she’s around constantly to lend the sweet-but-clumsy
middle child support. This is also a good thing, though, because Bea’s sub-
plot with next-door neighbor Hobart (Josh Duhamel) is probably the most
intriguing aspect of the movie — at least for anyone over the age of 12. Bea
and Hobart were high-school sweethearts; 15 years later, he wants her to
accompany him to Alaska. Goodwin and Duhamel (who co-starred in “Win
a Date With Tad Hamilton!”) are extremely cute together and have tons of
chemistry — but most of their moments are upended by Ramona’s silliness.

different smoothies, from peanut butter to

A new “Make-It-Mine” feature suggests
jazzing up those fuddy-duddy casseroles with

instead of plain egg noodles. A perfect book
for beginners, it’s also a handy reference for

For cooks who’ve mastered everything from
chicken cordon bleu to chicken enchiladas,
there’s “The Lost Art of Real Cooking” by
Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger. Styled as a

Ice cream sundaes aren’t just for the kids
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This sophisticated sundae from
Hannah Miles’ “Sundaes and Splits”
has serious adult appeal. It takes its
inspiration from the classic Italian
dessert, tiramisu.
The mascarpone-based ice cream
is rich and creamy, but not as sweet
as most ice creams. The sponge
cookies get a generous soaking of
coffee and coffee liqueur, though
you also could use chocolate liqueur.
TIRAMISU SUNDAE
Traditional recipes for making ice
cream call for chilling it in the freez-
er to firm it up after it comes out of
the ice cream machine. But for this
recipe, it is best to assemble the sun-
daes immediately after the ice cream
comes out of the machine. This
ensures it will be soft enough to
work with.
Start to finish: 2 hours (time will
vary depending on speed on ice
cream machine)
Servings: 4
For the syrup:
1 tablespoon instant coffee gran-
ules
1/3 cup boiling water
1/4 cup coffee or chocolate
liqueur (such as Tia Maria or creme
de cacao)
For the mascarpone ice cream:
9 ounces mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour
cream
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar,
sifted
8 sponge finger cookies
1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate
chips
Cocoa powder, for dusting
In a small bowl, dissolve the cof-
fee granules in the boiling water.
Add the liqueur and set aside to
cool.
To make the ice cream, in a medi-
um bowl mix together the mascar-

pone cheese, creme fraiche and
heavy cream. Stir in the powdered
sugar. Churn in an ice cream
machine according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
To assemble, break 4 of the
sponge finger cookies into pieces
and arrange some in the bottom of
each of the sundae dishes. Drizzle
with a little of the coffee liquid until
moist. Sprinkle a few chocolate
chips over each, then dust with
cocoa.
Place a spoonful of the mascar-
pone ice cream into each dish and
level the surface with the back of a
spoon. Arrange the remaining
sponge fingers on top and drizzle
over a little more of the coffee liq-
uid. Sprinkle with a few more
chocolate chips, add a further dust-
ing of cocoa powder, then top with
the remaining ice cream, again lev-
eling the surface. Dust the top of
each sundae liberally with cocoa
powder and serve immediately. Mascarpone-based ice cream is rich,but not as sweet as most ice creams.

and Vincent Van Gerven, went straight to
the Board of Supervisors and cried foul.
Gordon, the District 3 supervisor,
directed the Planning Department to
investigate and eight months later came
up with an ordinance based on how the
cities in the county regulate chickens.
If passed, the ordinance will allow res-
idents to keep up to six chickens on plots
of less than 7,500 square feet. Up to 10
chickens will be allowed on properties
larger than 7,500 square feet in unincor-
porated county lands. The ordinance
also dictates how and where the chick-
ens can be housed on a property, said
Tiare Pena, the project planner for the
ordinance.
“I feel like I know a lot about chickens
now,” Pena said yesterday.
Pena has also put together guidelines
on best practices for keeping chickens
that will be posted on the county’s web-
site if the ordinance passes.
The ordinance requires significant
fencing to keep the chickens safe and
contains language about setbacks and
the size of the coops, Pena said.
The ordinance may need a little
tweaking, like determining the proper
setbacks for chicken coops, Gordon said.
“There’s some minor details to work
out. We’ve noticed, though, that this is
an issue across the nation with the move-
ment toward sustainability,” Gordon
said. “People are concerned about the
quality of their food, food security and
cost.”
Holcombe is pleased the county will
hear the ordinance.

about $70,000 in savings for the city.
Harding noted the fundraising efforts
were off to a great start. A side bonus to
the campaign has been an outpouring of
memories, she said.
A number of those memories are post-
ed on a Facebook page dedicated to the
cause.
Despite the success, the battle is not
over, said Stephen Hamilton, Burlingame
Library Foundation treasurer, who noted
$25,000 is still needed for this year’s
funding efforts.
Over 100 people have donated to main-
tain the Easton branch, said Hamilton.
Money has come from as far as Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara. One woman
who previously lived in Palo Alto sent a
donation with a note recalling how she
cherished trips to the branch as a girl in
the ’50s.
A group of library foundation members

The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors will decide Tuesday whether hens
should be allowed in areas such as Emerald Hills or the mid-coast.
“We can’t imagine life without chick-
ens now. They are a part of the land-
scape,” Holcombe said. “They are won-
derful composters and the added benefit
of the eggs is wonderful.”
There are lots of chicken owners in
Emerald Hills that will no longer have to
worry about breaking the law, she said.
The issue is not limited to that com-
munity, however.
Once news of the Emerald Hills’ rene-
gade chickens made news, the Planning
Department began hearing complaints
from mid-coast residents clucking over
chickens living on neighboring proper-
ties, Pena said.

open. Ultimately, the Easton Team’s goal
is to create a trust to fund the library’s
operating costs indefinitely. Hamilton
estimated $1 million would be needed for
such a trust.
Lee’s effort to support Easton began
with a lemonade stand.
Along with friends, Lee had hosted
many lemonade stands in the past. Her
most recent one resulted in a $45 dona-
tion for Easton. At $1 for each delicious,
cold glass of lemonade, that’s 45 glasses

the table, with the city dissolving its

looking to a possible contract with San

Holcombe and Van Gerven may have
helped to jump-start the process, said
Gordon’s Legislative Aide Matt Jacobs.
The ordinance includes ducks but not
geese, Jacobs said.

Supporting the library is important to
Lee, who was informed of the efforts by
her mom.
“It’s been a big part of my childhood,”
she said of the branch, recalling visiting
with her mother, stopping by to pick up
books or simply studying.
This Saturday, Lee’s going to hold
another tasty fundraiser for the library
effort. She’s baking tasty treats — like
cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rice crispy
treats — to have fresh desserts to sell.
Goodies go on sale 2 p.m. Saturday,
July 24 in front of the Easton branch
library, 1800 Easton Drive. Anyone who
would like to bake to support the cause
can drop off their treats. Or, if you’d like
to buy a treat, the sale will continue until
all the goodies are sold.

Friday, July 23, 2010
The year ahead is the time to strengthen your resolve for
accomplishing something you’ve long nurtured. Anything you
put your hand or mind to and give your best effort will suc-
ceed in ways you never thought possible.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - A lack of exercise could be the
culprit if you are now feeling somewhat sluggish. Deliberately
engage in something physically vigorous in order to circulate
energy throughout your entire system.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Unless you are on guard, you
might absentmindedly be inclined to be excessive in your
habits, which include eating, drinking or even being seden-
tary. Make moderation your byword today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Do not spring unusual situations
or conditions on others today that have not been previously
discussed and agreed upon. It could quickly jam up the pipe-
line and create problems for all.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Without thinking and without
being asked you could have a tendency to tell others what to
do and how to do it today. Needless to say, you are likely to
be met with tremendous resistance and lot of snubs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - If your sales resistance
is a bit low at this point in time, caution must be taken when
going shopping. Chances are you’ll come home with a loaded
credit card and nothing you need.
you are, so don’t try to put on any pretentious airs. All that
would do is make you very unpopular.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - You might think that embel-
lishing the facts will make your listeners more attentive and
hang on your every word, but the opposite is likely to occur.
Others will feel that they are being had.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - If you are appreciative of your
present circumstances, this is likely to be a very pleasant day
for you. If you should begin to envy others, you will only make
yourself miserable.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - There’s a chance you could get
caught in your own nets today when trying to defend a posi-
tion. When explaining your thinking, you might end up proving
the other person’s point.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Just remember, when you fib,
somewhere down the line you will be called upon to repeat
your statement, which is generally impossible, because what
isn’t based in fact isn’t easily recalled.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - This is not a good day to take
any financial risk, neither with your own funds or those of
others. In both instances, Lady Luck is likely to be looking out
for someone else’s interests and not yours.
Previous
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - When you see that others
are just as adamant about their opinions as you are yours, Sudoku
forget about trying to impose your views or opinions on them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Keep in mind that you are

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
ROSE GONSALVES
Case Number 117125
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Rose Gonsalves. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by: Cher-
yl Ann Gonsalves Alfano in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that
Cheryl Ann Gonsalves Alfano be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal represenative will be required to
203 Public Notices
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 16, 2010 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, 400 County Center,
Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object
to the granting of the petition, you should
appear at the hearing and state your ob-
jections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appear-
ance may be in person or by your attor-
ney. If you are a creditor or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provid-
ed in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before
four months from the hearing date no-
ticed above. You may examine the file
kept by the court. If you are a person in-
terested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.

Tropical Storm moves toward oil spill

By Juan McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas — A rainstorm in
the southern Bahamas accelerated into
Tropical Storm Bonnie on Thursday
while following a course that could take
it over the site of the Gulf of Mexico oil
spill.
Rain and lightning raked the low-lying
Turks and Caicos Islands and the
Bahamas, and forecasters at the U.S.
National Hurricane Center in Miami
said the storm could reach the Gulf of
Mexico by Saturday.
By Thursday evening, the center said
Bonnie had maximum sustained winds
of 40 mph (65 kph), and was centered
about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-
east of the Bahamian capital of Nassau.
It already had caused flooding in Puerto
Rico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
A broken oil well has spewed some-
where between 94 million and 184 mil-
lion gallons into the Gulf before a cap
could be attached. The crisis — the
biggest offshore oil spill in U.S. history
— unfolded after the BP-leased
Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April
Venezuela severs ties with Colombia
By Christopher Toothaker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — President
Hugo Chavez severed Venezuela’s diplo-
matic relations with Colombia on
Thursday over claims he harbors guerril-
las, and he warned that his neighbor’s
leader could attempt to provoke a war.
Chavez said he was forced to break off
all relations because Colombian officials
claim he has failed to act against leftist
rebels who allegedly have taken shelter

20, killing 11 workers.
Some experts worry the hurricane sea-
son could worsen environmental damage
from the spill, with powerful winds and
large waves pushing oil deeper into estu-
aries and wetlands and also depositing
more of the pungent, sticky mess on
beaches.
in Venezuelan territory.
He acted moments after Colombian
Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos pre-
sented a meeting of the Organization of
American States in Washington with
photos, videos, witness testimony and
maps of what he said were rebel camps
inside Venezuela and challenged
Venezuelan officials to let independent
observers visit them.
In Washington, Hoyos said that rough-
ly 1,500 rebels are currency hiding out in
Venezuela and he showed follow diplo-

As the storm advanced Thursday,

mats numerous aerial photographs of
what he identified as rebel camps locat-
ed within Venezuelan territory.
Hoyos said that Uribe’s government
has repeatedly asked for Venezuela’s
cooperation to prevent guerrillas from
slipping over the porous 1,400-mile
(2,300-kilometer) border that separates
the two countries.
“We have the right to demand that
Venezuela doesn’t hide those wanted by
Colombia,” Hoyos said, urging the OAS
to investigate Colombia’s claims.
Around the world
Some Internet porn sites in China now accessible
BEIJING — Word leaked out slowly, spread by Web-savvy
folks on Twitter: Internet porn that once was blocked by
Chinese government censors was now openly available.
“Are they no longer cracking down on pornographic web-
sites? A lot of porn sites and forums are accessible,” technol-
ogy blogger William Long wrote on his feed.
Messages like that startled Chinese Web surfers, long
accustomed to the authorities’ Internet blockades. The coun-
try had been in the midst of highly publicized anti-pornogra-
phy sweeps, and there had been no announcement of any
change in government policy.
Yet eight weeks later, the porn sites are still accessible. Still
unanswered are questions about whether it’s an official
change in policy, a technical glitch or some sort of test by the
usually disapproving Chinese Internet police.
“This has never been done with the (Chinese) Internet
before,” said Beijing-based Internet analyst Zhao Jing, who
goes by the English name Michael Anti.
Whatever the reason, the change has thrown into sharper
relief what many people see as the main mission of China’s
aggressive Internet censors: blocking sites and content that
might challenge the political authority of the communist gov-
ernment. Websites about human rights and dissidents are also
routinely banned.
Pakistan extends term of
army chief for three years
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s prime minister extended the
term of army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani for three more
years Thursday, saying continuity was needed to ensure the
success of the country’s fight against al-Qaida and the
Taliban.
The decision will likely be welcomed in the United States,
which has praised Kayani’s leadership and willingness to bat-
tle extremists. Washington has some 130,000 troops in neigh-
boring Afghanistan fighting a related insurgency, and U.S.
success there is strongly tied to how well Pakistan’s army
tamps down militant activity in its own country.
In a late night address, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
said the extension was merited because of Kayani’s leader-
ship in a series of campaigns against militants in the north-
west close to Afghanistan that he said were in “critical phas-
es.”
“To ensure the success of these operations it is the need of
the hour that the continuity of military leadership should be
maintained,” he said.
