FORECLOSURE RATE FOR CALIFORNIA HOMES
EASES
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County voters will face a half-
cent sales tax hike on the November
ballot that may go toward helping
the Seton Medical Center in Daly
City stave off closure if the measure
is approved.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors voted 4-1 yesterday to
place the measure on the ballot with
Supervisor Dave Pine voting against
it.
If approved, the sales tax hike
would generate an extra $60 million
a year for the countys general fund
for the next 10 years.
The extra revenue could go
toward child abuse prevention; 911
dispatch; fire prevention; after-
school, library reading/homework
programs; hospital upgrades; and
keeping parks open.
Seton faces closure by 2020 if it
does not make mandated seismic
upgrades. The private hospitals clo-
sure would impact the San Mateo
Medical Center since Seton pro-
vides a signicant number of long-
term care beds for Medi-Cal
patients.
The sales tax measure was pro-
posed by Board President Adrienne
Tissier and Supervisor Don Horsley
and was supported by supervisors
Carole Groom and Rose Jacobs
Gibson.
Pine voted no, instead proposing
the board consider a quarter-cent
sales tax.
There are many important needs
in San Mateo County particularly
within our health care delivery sys-
tem. I believe a quarter-cent sales
tax, combined with other revenues
which are now growing, would
meet those needs, Pine wrote the
Daily Journal in an email. But a
half-cent sales tax may cause harm
to local businesses, disproportion-
ately impact lower-income residents
and make it more difcult for local
Sales tax hike heads to vote
Half-cent sales tax measure would raise $60 million annually for county

Voters to decide upon
$56M Burlingame bond
measure in November
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Providing space for a growing
number of students will require
modernization which Burlingame
Elementary School District ofcials
are hoping will be covered with a
$56 million bond measure placed on
the November ballot last night.
Enrollment is continuously
increasing in the district, which of-
cials pointed to when voting unani-
mously to place the measure on the
ballot.
If there is one word to describe
what were doing tonight, its based
on enrollment, said board President
Michael Barber.
Trustee Davina Drabkin added it
would be sad if the district, without
being able to expand, needed to
increase class sizes simply because
there isnt enough space.
In the 2005-06 school year, the
district had an enrollment of 2,345.
Last year, it was just over 2,900. In
the coming school year, it is project-
ed to reach 3,086, according to the
district.
The district has been discussing
ways to increase capacity for a num-
ber of years. One of its rst moves
was purchasing Hoover Elementary,

Cases against four men accused of partici-
pating in the killing of a man mistaken for a
gang rival because of his navy blue jacket will
be consolidated, a judge decided Tuesday.
Defendants Michael Elijah Rodriguez, 19,
Jaime Treto Rodriguez, 21, Gerardo Aboytes,
20, and Mario Cazarez Jr., 19, face charges of
murder and special gang circumstances in the
Nov. 28, 2010 death of Julio Pantoja Cuevas.
Despite an objection from Aboytes defense,
the cases were consolidated Tuesday, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. A jury trial
for the four men was set for June 10, 2013.
Wagstaffe said the prosecution had requested
the start of 2013 while the defense asked for
August 2013.
Cuevas was allegedly visiting three
female friends at a Madison Avenue apart-
ment complex in Redwood City Nov. 28,
2010, wearing a navy blue jacket.
Defendants Michael Rodriguez, Jaime
Rodriguez and Cazarez Jr. allegedly
approached Cuevas and challenged him
about what gang he claimed. After a shoving
match, Michael Rodriguez allegedly pulled
a gun and shot him several times. Cuevas
ran down an alley where he fell and died and
the suspects fled in the opposite direction.
Aboytes was not physically at the scene
when Cuevas, 21, was shot but called his
alleged accomplices to alert them to the pres-
ence of possible gang rivals, according to
prosecutors.
Rodriguez and Cazarez were arrested the
day after the shooting. Jaime Rodriguez, no
relation to Michael, remained at large until
June 2011 when he was arrested in Santa Fe,
N.M. for a domestic dispute in a casino.
Aboytes was tied to the case after testifying
before the grand jury in August. Prosecutors
said Aboytes also lied about having no phone
with which to call the others to the scene. He
is charged with two counts of perjury on top of
the murder and gang charges.
Aboytes was moving through the system
separately because he was indicted later based
on alleged perjury before the criminal grand
jury considering the evidence against the other
three. Tuesdays decision consolidates
Aboytes case with that of three alleged
accomplices.
All four remain in custody on a no-bail sta-
tus.

Burlingame girl falls
off boat at Lake Berryessa
An 8-year-old Burlingame girl fell
into Lake Berryessa yesterday when
she was overcome by carbon monox-
ide from the idling motor on her fam-
ilys boat, a Napa County sheriffs
captain said.
The girl was on the back end of the
boat around noon as it slowly
approached a dock at Markley Cove
at the south end of the lake, Capt.
Tracey Stuart said. The exhaust
began to affect the girl, who was
wearing a otation device, and she
fell into the water, Stuart said.
The girls father saw her fall and
rescued her, Stuart said.
The close call comes on the heels
of a drowning and a near-drowning
over the weekend.
On Sunday afternoon, Kevin Yip,
24, of San Francisco, drowned in the
Pleasure Cove area of the lake when
he jumped off a pontoon boat to
swim without a otation device.
He was seen struggling in the
water before he disappeared.
Sheriffs divers recovered his body
Monday morning.
The same afternoon that Yip
drowned, a 6-month-old baby
became trapped under a capsized
boat on the lake. The child was taken
to a hospital but is expected to sur-
vive, Stuart said.

STATE/NATION
By Paul Larson

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

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO Home foreclosure
activity in California has fallen to ve-
year lows, easing concerns there might
be a ood of distressed sales to slow or
even reverse the housing markets recov-
ery.
There were 54,615 default notices
led on houses and condominiums from
April through June, down 3.6 percent
from 56,633 during the second quarter
of last year, according to research rm
DataQuick. It was the lowest tally since
the second quarter of 2007 and down 60
percent from the peak of 135,431 in the
rst quarter of 2009.
An improved housing market and a
burning off of loans from the peak of
the housing bubble between 2005 and
2007 has contributed to the drop,
DataQuick said. Also, more homeown-
ers with troubled mortgages are turning
to short sales transactions in which
the sales price is below the amount owed
on the property.
The numbers provide more evidence
that Californias housing market is on
the mend even as doubts persist that
foreclosures may rise again.
The big caveat is there are still a lot
of people in trouble and its not clear
how many will be foreclosed upon,
DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said
Tuesday.
Foreclosures may spike for six to nine
months if lenders got really aggressive
about ushing all the distress through
the system, LePage said.
Foreclosure rates ease in state Interior plan expedites solar development in West
FRESNO The Obama administration moved Tuesday to
streamline the development of large-scale solar projects on pub-
lic lands by approving 17 vast tracts across the West it says has
the highest power-generating potential and the fewest environ-

As developers scramble to secure utility-scale solar sites, the
plan will move the Department of the Interior away from hav-
ing to consider individual projects on a case-by-case basis and
instead direct development to land already identied as having
fewer wildlife and natural resource obstacles.
Todays announcement is a roadmap for solar development
for decades to come and will help create an enduring and sus-
tainable energy future for America, said Secretary of the
Interior Ken Salazar.
The announcement means the Department of Interior will
begin a 30-day protest period, after which Salazar could adopt
the plan.
The release of the environmental impact statement was the
result of a two-year study involving government regulators,
environmental groups and utilities. It identies land where the
Department of Interior has streamlined the environmental
approval process and offered reduced lease payments as devel-
opment incentives.
UC Berkeley to offer free online courses this fall
BERKELEY The University of California, Berkeley will
start offering free online courses through a nonprot initiative
launched by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
Ofcials say UC Berkeley courses on articial intelligence
and software engineering will be available on the website
www.edx.com, which was formed in May.
The two Berkeley courses brings to seven the number of
courses that edX will offer this fall.
Ofcials say the online courses will be free and open to any-
one with access to the Internet. Students who demonstrate mas-
tery of the subjects and nish the coursework can receive cer-
ticates of completion.
EdX ofcials say 154,000 students from more than 160 coun-
tries registered for MITs rst edX course this past spring. They
plan to add more courses from more universities in the future.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul will
shrink rather than increase the nations
huge federal deficits over the next
decade, Congress nonpartisan budget
scorekeepers said Tuesday, supporting
Obamas contention in a major election-
year dispute with Republicans.
About 3 million fewer uninsured peo-
ple will gain health coverage because of
last months Supreme Court ruling
granting states more leeway, and that
will cut the federal costs by $84 billion,
the Congressional Budget Ofce said in
the biggest changes from earlier esti-
mates.
Republicans have insisted that
Obamacare will actually raise decits
by trillions, according to presiden-
tial candidate Mitt Romney. But thats
not so, the budget ofce said.
The ofce gave no updated estimate
for total decit reductions from the law,
approved by Congress and signed by
Obama in 2010. But it did estimate that
Republican legislation to repeal the
overhaul passed recently by the
House would itself boost the decit
by $109 billion from 2013 to 2022.
Repealing the (health care law) will
lead to an increase in budget decits
over the coming decade, though a small-
er one than previously reported, budget
ofce director Douglas Elmendorf said
in a letter to House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio.
The laws mix of spending cuts and
tax increases would more than offset
new spending to cover uninsured people,
Elmendorf explained.

California ranks 41st out of 50
states when it comes to the overall
well-being of children, according to
the Annie E. Casey Foundations
2012 Kids Count Data Book to be
released today.
The Data Book, released in part-
nership with Oakland-based non-
profit Children Now, ranks each
state on 16 key indicators across
four areas: economic well-being,
education, health and family and
community. In health, California
ranks 23rd, but in all other cate-
gories the state is closer to the bot-
tom. In San Mateo County, children
are succeeding in education and
have greater access to health care
than in other areas of the state.
This report shows California is
continuing to sell children short,
Children Now President Ted
Lempert wrote in a prepared state-
ment. We know the smartest
investment the state can make is in
our childrens development. By
choosing to prioritize other political
interests, the states policymakers
are passing big, unnecessary costs
to all Californians and the rest of the
nation.
California ranks 45th when it
comes to economic well-being
the lowest of the scores given to the
state. Thirty-six percent of the
states children live in a family in
which no parent has full-time, year-
round employment. That number
has increased 20 percent since
2008. Twenty-two percent of chil-
dren in California live in poverty. In
San Mateo County, about 9 percent
of children live in poverty, accord-
ing to kidsdata.org.
With a ranking of 42 in family
and community, 33 percent of chil-
dren in California live in a single-
parent home. In San Mateo County,
only 23 percent of children live with
one parent, according to
kidsdata.org.
In education, California is ranked
43rd. About 75 percent of the states
fourth graders are not procient in
reading, 75 percent of eighth
graders are not procient in math,
both leading to students who are not
graduating on time, according to the
Data Book. San Mateo Countys
scores are a bit better. Sixty-four
percent of fourth grade students
scored proficient or better in
English, according to the 2011
Standardized Testing and Reporting
Program. Using the same numbers,
53 percent of local eighth graders
scored procient or higher in alge-
bra. Locally, 10.5 percent of stu-
dents dropped out of high school
compared to the California average
of 14.4 percent, according to a
statewide report released in June.
Graduation rates statewide were at
76.3 percent for the class of 2010-
11. San Mateo County fared better
with an 83.7 percent graduation
rate.
Health is where California is
ranked best at 23. California reports
6.8 percent of infants born at a low
weight. San Mateo Countys rate is
a bit higher, 7.2 percent, according
to the Children Nows 2010
California County Scorecard. The
state ranks 12th in child death rates
and 25th when it comes to teens
abusing alcohol and drugs 8 per-
cent reportedly are abusing such
substances, according to the Data
Book. In San Mateo County, 61 per-
cent of teens report not using alco-
hol and drugs, according to the
Children Now numbers. Nearly one
in 10 children throughout the state
lacks health insurance. San Mateo
County fares a bit better with about
6 percent of children not having
health insurance.

California faces challenges in childrens well-being
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Curbing rising pension costs can
be achieved if San Mateo County
significantly decreases the number
of employees, negotiates higher
employee contributions and stud-
ies withdrawing from Social
Security, according to a San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury report
released this week.
In the 2005-06 fiscal year, San
Mateo County contributed $78
million to its retirement fund.
However, by 2011-12, the county
retirement costs had doubled to
$150 million due to the economic
downturn. In 2013-14, the coun-
tys requirement is estimated to
increase again by an additional
$13 million due to a decreased
return on assets rate, according to
the 12-page report. As of June 30,
2011, the countys unfunded liabil-
ity was an estimated $842 million.
To cut costs to be more manage-
able, the civil grand jury recom-
mended significantly reducing the
number of county employees
through outsourcing, reducing
services and attrition; negotiating
the elimination of the county pay-
ing extra for employees who have
worked more than 10 years; nego-
tiating more realistic benefits with
unions without increasing salaries;
and studying the possibility of
withdrawing from Social Security.
All permanent San Mateo
County employees are members of
the San Mateo County Employees
Retirement Association, known as
SamCERA, according to the
report. SamCERA operates 10 dif-
ferent retirement plans, each with
multiple tiers based on a members
bargaining unit, years of service
and date of hire. As of June 30,
2011, the county has 5,245 active
employees enrolled in SamCERA,
4,147 retired members and 1,190
vested terminated members. In
addition to pension benefits, active
employees, except for safety mem-
bers, have paid into and will
receive Social Security.
A number of factors con-
tribute to the countys contribu-
tion increasing including a
lower rate of return on money
already set aside, retroactive
increases to employees and a
larger contribution from the
county to long-term employees,
according to the report.
Some changes have been made
by the county to cut costs such as:
Obtaining concessions from some
unions, developing a plan to
reduce the countys contribution
for some employees, reducing pen-
sion benefits for new employees,
basing final retirement benefits on
an average of multiple years rather
than the last year alone and reduc-
ing the number of employees.

RENO, Nev. Republican pres-
idential candidate Mitt Romney on
Tuesday called for an independent
investigation into claims the White
House had leaked national security
information for President Barack
Obamas political gain, part of a
searing speech that marked a whole-
sale indictment of the Democrats
foreign policy.
In a race that has so far focused
almost entirely on the sluggish
economy, Romney also critiqued
Obamas handling of Irans nuclear
threat, the violence in Syria and
relations with Israel during a speech
to the Veterans of Foreign Wars con-
vention.
In his rst foreign policy speech
since emerging as the likely
Republican presidential nominee,
Romney accused Obama of putting
politics over national security, a
serious charge that went straight at a
policy area where national polls
show the president with the edge.
The turn also was a reminder that
the increasingly biting campaign,
which paused over the weekend in
deference to the deadly movie the-
ater shooting in Colorado, was on
again in earnest.
This conduct is contemptible,
Romney said of the leaks of classi-
fied information. It betrays our
national interest. It compromises
our men and women in the eld.
And it demands a full and prompt
investigation by a special prosecu-
tor, with explanation and conse-
quence.
Attorney General Eric Holder has
appointed two
federal prosecu-
tors to get to the
bottom of the
leaks, but
Romney sug-
gested that was-
nt good enough.
The White
House has
rejected calls for
a special prosecutor, saying there is
no need for one.
Romney stopped short of accus-
ing Obama specically of leaking
information that includes details of
the mission that killed Osama bin
Laden last year. He made the charge
as he prepared to embark later
Tuesday on a trip to Great Britain,
Israel and Poland and meetings with
a host of foreign leaders.
Obama has strongly rejected the
leak accusations that, until Tuesday,
had been contained to Republicans
in Congress.
During a news conference last
month, he called the accusations
offensive and wrong.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney responded Tuesday by say-
ing Obama feels extremely strong-
ly about this and noting Holders
appointment of the two federal
prosecutors to investigate.
The president has made abun-
dantly clear that he has no tolerance
for leaks and he thinks leaks are
damaging to our national security
interests, Carney said.
Reecting the campaigns recent
attention to veterans, Obama added
a visit Tuesday with some of them
to his fundraising schedule in
Portland, Ore., before ying to an
event in the Seattle area.
Romney seeks probe of White House leak
Mitt Romney
By Beh Fouhy
NEW YORK President Barack
Obamas campaign has been run-
ning television commercials that
suggest Mitt Romney might be a tax
cheat. Another ad uses a clip of the
Republican singing an off-key ren-
dition of America the Beautiful to
ding him for having overseas bank
accounts. Another Obama-spon-
sored spot states atly: Mitt
Romneys not the solution. Hes the
problem.
So much for the promise of hope,
change and bipartisan unity that
propelled Obama to victory in
2008.
To win a second term, the
Democrat who once pledged to
usher in a more civilized political
era has turned to highly critical
commercials at turns personal
and snarky to go toe to toe with
Romney in a campaign noteworthy
for its negativity and intensity. But
Obama risks turning off voters who
generally despise negative ads and
undercutting what is arguably his
greatest asset his personal popu-
larity in a razor-thin race expect-
ed to be won in just a handful of
competitive states.
There was never any doubt that
Obama would run hard-hitting ads.
For one, hes proven to be a cut-
throat campaigner, having assailed
Sen. John McCain on TV four years
ago even as he cultivated an image
as someone who always played
above-board politics.

WASHINGTON Nearly all of
Greenlands massive ice sheet sud-
denly started melting a bit this
month, a freak event that surprised
scientists.
Even Greenlands coldest and
highest place, Summit station,
showed melting. Ice core records
show that last happened in 1889 and
occurs about once every 150 years.
Three satellites show what NASA
calls unprecedented melting of the
ice sheet that blankets the island,
starting on July 8 and lasting four
days. Most of the thick ice remains.
While some ice usually melts dur-
ing the summer, what was unusual
was that the melting happened in a
ash and over a widespread area.
You literally had this wave of
warm air wash over the Greenland
ice sheet and melt it, NASA ice
scientist Tom Wagner said Tuesday.
The ice melt area went from 40
percent of the ice sheet to 97 per-
cent in four days, according to
NASA. Until now, the most exten-
sive melt seen by satellites in the
past three decades was about 55
percent.
Wagner said researchers dont
know how much of Greenlands ice
melted, but it seems to be freezing
again.
When we see melt in places that
we havent seen before, at least in a
long period of time, it makes you sit
up and ask whats happening?
NASA chief scientist Waleed
Abdalati said. Its a big signal, the
meaning of which were going to
sort out for years to come.
About the same time, a giant ice-
berg broke off from the Petermann
Glacier in northern Greenland. And
the National Snow and Ice Data
Center on Tuesday announced that
the area lled with Arctic sea ice
continues near a record low.

WASHINGTON Nearly half
of high school students say theyve
had sex, yet progress has stalled in
getting them to use condoms to pro-
tect against the AIDS virus, govern-
ment researchers reported Tuesday.
Today, four of every 10 new HIV
infections occur in people younger
than 30, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
and the teen years, just as many
youths become sexually active, are
key for getting across the safe-sex
message.
Using a long-standing survey of
high school students health, the
CDC tracked how teen sexual
behavior has changed over 20 years.
The results are decidedly mixed.
About 60 percent of sexually
active high school students say they
used condoms the last time they had
sex, researchers said at the
International AIDS Conference.
Thats an increase from the 46 per-
cent who were using condoms in
1991.
This is good news, said Dr.
Kevin Fenton, director of CDCs
HIV prevention center. But, we
need to do a lot more.
Condom use reached a high of 63
percent back in 2003.
Black students are most likely to
heed the safe-sex message, yet their
condom use dropped from a high of
70 percent in 1999 to 65 percent last
year, the study found.
The proportion of high school
students whove had sex is 47 per-
cent today down a bit from 54
percent in 1991 and they typical-
ly start at age 16, CDC said. Black
teens showed a bigger decrease,
with 60 percent sexually active
today compared with 82 percent
two decades ago.
The more partners, the more risk.
Fifteen percent of high school stu-
dents say theyve had four or more
partners, down from 19 percent in
1991.
Fenton said many school systems
dont have strong enough sex edu-
cation policies that include teach-
ing teens about how to prevent
HIV.

Congratulations to Mayor Bloomberg

I hope that this will be one of the pri-
mary issues in the forthcoming presi-
dential debates. I also hope that both
men who aspire to be in our nations

that gun control is not about partisan

Jackie Speiers
Town Hall meeting
Editor,
On Sunday, July 22, I attended a
Town Hall meeting held by U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, for the
Peninsula Jewish community. While the
discussion was respectful, I left frus-
trated and disappointed by what I heard
her say.
First, I was frustrated with Speiers
contention that Israels Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu was merely giv-
ing lip service to the notion of wanting
to make peace with the Palestinians.
She had conveniently ignored the state-
ments of successive Israeli govern-
ments, including Netanyahus, that
have publically and privately stated a
desire to negotiate a two-state solution.
Also, she ignored repeated Palestinian
refusal to negotiate with Israel without
preconditions.
Moreover, she made a jaw-dropping
contention that the reason the young
Palestinian generation is unwilling to
make peace is because the U.N. has
been unable to get building materials
into Gaza to build schools. That state-
ment was laughable and conveniently
ignored the state-sponsored anti-Israel
vitriol that emanates from the
Palestinian educational system.
I left wondering what planet Speier
really inhabits.
Everyone knows that both sides will
have to agree to talk and that the onus
cannot be placed solely on Israel to
make peace. There has to be a willing-
ness on the part of the Palestinians to
meet Israel halfway and negotiate in
good faith to resolve their differences.
Everything else is lip service.

Letters to the editor
N
ow that the Local Agency
Formation Commission has
decided not to recommend
dissolution of the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District,
we have some recommendations for the
district, its board and anyone who cares
about the public trust.
It is that public trust that has been
violated by the creation of an environ-
ment in which two people are alleged
to have stolen more than $650,000 from
public coffers. The argument against
dissolution and incorporation into the
countys Environmental Health division
of the Health System was one based on
the possibility public safety would be
jeopardized and that the district and its
workers would be unfairly punished for
an alleged embezzlement from two of
its workers. Hogwash. There is no way
that public safety would be jeopardized
by new management and we have a
feeling its workers would appreciate
more professional administration.
The majority of the commission
believed the district has implemented
needed changes to ensure that such
theft would not occur again. That too, is
in question since oversight will remain
the same because of the commissions
recommendation.
The districts 21-member board is
appointed by individual city councils
and the county and yet not one of them
noticed the discrepancy in the districts
nances or the fact that the general
manager did not even conduct a refer-
ence or criminal background check of
the nance director. The appointments
are generally of civic-minded folks
with a varied degree of expertise and
experience. Robert Gay, the districts
general manager, has admitted nances
are not his specialty and he strikes us as
someone who may have been a little
too hands-off and in over his head. And
that provided an environment in which
someone with criminal intentions can
take advantage. Most special districts
have their own elected ofcials or have
elected ofcials appointed to them. Gay
himself has said cities and the county
are more than welcome to appoint an
elected ofcial to the board but seldom
do. Cities and the county need to take it
upon themselves to make appointments
of thinking people who will look at
every aspect of the districts operations.
We understand the rationale that the
district is in the midst of changing its
practices, but who is to say it will not
fall victim to the same lackadaisical
management that caused its problems in
the rst place? Everyone acknowledges
the district staff conducts itself profes-
sionally and provides an important
service. But true change comes from
the top. Gay needs to be replaced with
someone with a better grasp of nances
and management if the district is indeed
to get a fresh start. Any corporation that
fell victim to such alleged crimes
would have its shareholders calling for
new leadership pronto. Why should
public agencies get a pass? There is lin-
gering worry that the district will not
fully implement new procedures and
policies to provide proper oversight and
there are questions about the hiring of
an assistant manager as opposed to a
purchasing technician to review orders.
And there is no doubt that this agency
is troubled and will remain so with its
current leadership. Gay said he fell vic-
tim to theft, but he is not the only one.
The true victim is all of us who pay for
its services. It is our dollars that were
stolen and it is our dollars that paid for
a forensic audit and the restructuring of
the districts books because of the theft
and the conditions that led to it. And
yet there is no punishment for the gen-
eral manager that allowed for all of it to
happen. As taxpayers, the residents of
this county should be demanding
change to the districts leadership
and that means new executive leader-
ship and/or new board members and
appointment procedures.
New leadership needed for mosquito district
Stanford alumna
to rescue Yahoo!
By Jahan Alamzad
W
hen Elizabeth I barely turned 25 in 1558, she became
the queen of England. She inherited a basket case; a
country written off as a failure by the European pow-
erhouses of the day. When she died some 45 years later, she left
behind a powerhouse and the strongest European nation.
In 2000, Alan Axelrod wrote a book enti-
tled, Elizabeth I CEO: Strategic lessons
from the leader who built an empire. It
became the Business Week bestseller. Thats
one book I recommend to Marissa Mayer,
the newly-appointed CEO of Yahoo!, to
read.
Mayers qualications are impeccable.
Her intelligence is beyond doubt, and her
renowned lan precedes her personal
appearance. A gifted person by all counts,
she is now at the helm, much like the way Elizabeth ascended to
the throne after a series of mayhems created by her predecessors.
Elizabeth was a princess of the House of Tudor. Mayer is a
princess of technology, earning her academic degrees in some of
the most technically-demanding disciplines at Stanford. Much
like Elizabeth, she is inheriting a large dysfunctional organization,
stepping into the high ofce with a promise to turn that lemon
into lemonade by juicing its value and adding a lot of sweets.
Historians often credit the spectacular turnaround orchestrated
by Elizabeth to her immediate creation of a regent when she
became the queen. Her half-brother and half-sister before her
ruled by the whim and not counseled rational approach for mak-
ing critical decisions.
This will be the rst clue for how Mayer will intend to reign
over the company. Signs will be favorable if she selects a set of
outstanding advisers from outside of the company. Those are
going to be the people whose advice she needs to rely upon going
forward. They may include leading academics, attorneys, nance
experts, economists and even politicians. Chosen carefully, she
can then listen to them attentively.
Not that Mayer should ignore the board of directors, but what
would be better is relying less on their advice and instead
demanding the board to perform as a functioning, not feuding,
ensemble.
Mayer can then focus her attention to choose a handful of the
companys executives and create an operating committee with
whom she meets regularly and frequently. This circle runs the
company and takes the CEOs commands into actions. Running
this circle becomes a circus if wrong people are chosen and the
deliberations become turf battles and pompous self-promotions
over whats good for the company and its people.
Her legendary taste for entertainment notwithstanding,
Elizabeth avoided those circuses when serious state matters were
at hand. We can certainly trust Mayer to avoid that as well, even
though she has an exquisite taste for merriments.
The success of every CEO can be traced to the ability to create
this circle that worked awlessly. Mayer needs to make sure
everyone on this close circle is heard. She needs to take them to a
luxurious retreat once in a while, but also demand them to per-
form. Call them at odd hours to get their thoughts about impor-
tant issues. They need to feel the weight on their shoulders that
their work impacts the future of the company and the lives of
many. Get rid of sacred cows. But that has always been impor-
tant and critical, is a typical defense when a ea-laden sacred
cow is brought in for judgment.
Pet projects and darling solutions abound in organizations that
have no meaningful leadership. Turnaround management is about
questioning what is being done, and nding out better ways to do
it. Legacy untouchables always get in a way in the worst possible
ways. It takes some courage to bring down those hindrances but
without doing so success will be in jeopardy.
By the end of her time, nothing detrimental from the previous
regimes could have been found having seeped into the
Elizabethan era.
In his seminal book, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Peter
F. Drucker argues two points. That innovation is hard and contin-
uous work, and entrepreneurship is more needed in large organi-
zations than emerging ones.
A product by Stanford alumni, Yahoo! exemplied what we
knew as entrepreneurship and successful startup. As it matured, it
lost that trait. It still made handsome earnings, but not what was
expected from what many considered a technology pioneer and a
gem.
It is now a poetic epic for the task of guiding Yahoo! to its pre-
vious glory to be trusted in the hands of illustrious Stanford alum-
na.
Mayer is no stranger to hard work. She would have not been
where she is now if that was not the case. All those study nights
well past midnight at Stanford, and all those incredibly long
hours at Google are the testimony to that.
She also knows well the entrepreneurship for startups. Now the
time has come for her to use her prodigious talents and skills to
rebuild the practice of entrepreneurship and continuous innova-
tion at Yahoo!, which now appears as a seemingly grounded large
organization.
My simple recipe for success at Yahoo? Early to sleep, early
to rise; work hard, and advertise!

NEW YORK A parade of grim
news, from weak corporate earnings to a
pullback at U.S. factories to spreading
fault lines in Europes debt crisis, sent
investors eeing stocks for a third straight
day on Tuesday.
As if that werent bad enough, Apple
delivered a rare earnings disappointment
after the closing bell, boding poorly for
Wednesdays trading.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
104.14 points, or 0.8 percent, to
12,617.32. It was the third triple-digit
point loss in a row for the blue chip index.
The last time that happened was
September, when fears were rife that the
U.S. was on the brink of another reces-
sion.
Lower earnings forecasts from corpo-
rate bellwethers like United Parcel
Service, combined with a weak report on
manufacturing, fed fears of more disap-
pointing results from Corporate America
in the coming days.
Our guess is we havent seen the
worst, said Carl Yingst, chief market ana-
lyst at Joseph Gunner, an investment bank.
Soon after he spoke came a bit of con-
rmation from a stock market star. After
the close of trading, Apple reported the
smallest increases in revenue and income
in years, badly missing analysts expecta-
tions. The stock fell $29.76, or 5 percent,
to $571.19 in extended trading.
Its a huge swing and a miss for a com-
pany that usually knocks the cover off the
ball, said Jack Ablin, chief investment
ofcer of Harris Private Bank. The ill
winds of global trade are enveloping
everyone, even the high and mighty.
It was a tting end to a bad day as
investors around the world dumped stocks
and ed to the relative safety of U.S. gov-
ernment debt. The yield on the benchmark
10-year Treasury note fell to another
record low and the dollar hit a two-year
high against the euro.
Stocks fell from the start of trading fol-
lowing news that UPS had cut its earnings
forecast 4 percent for all of 2012 as glob-
al trade slows. UPSs stock fell $3.61, or 5
percent, to $74.34.
Also weighing on stocks, Spains bor-
rowing costs spiked as investors worried
that country could become the latest in
Europe to ask for a nancial lifeline.
Spains banks have already received help
from international lenders.
The broader Standard & Poors 500 fell
12.21 points to 1,338.31. The Nasdaq
composite was off 27.16 points to
2,862.99.

Big movers

SAN FRANCISCO Netix is mak-
ing money again, but its recovery wasnt
impressive enough to soothe investors
worried about rising licensing fees and
stiffer competition confronting the video
subscription service.
Second-quarter results announced
Tuesday included a 91 percent drop in
net income and came after a rare loss to
start the year.
The drop underscored the nancial
pressures squeezing Netix Inc. as TV
and movie studios demand more money
for the right to distribute their content
through a service that charges customers
just $8 per month to view an unlimited
amount of video over the Internet.
As the costs climb, Netflixs sub-
scriber growth has slowed since it infuri-
ated customers a year ago by raising its
prices by as much as 60 percent.
In the latest quarter, for instance,
Netflix added just 420,000 Internet
video and DVD-by-mail subscribers in
the U.S. That compared with an increase
of 1.8 million U.S. subscribers at the
same time last year, a period that was
completed before the company boosted
its prices.
Netix also cautioned that it may be
tougher to get more people to sign up
during the current quarter as the Summer
Olympics lls the entertainment needs
of many households for two weeks of
the 12-week period. The Olympics start
Friday and conclude on Aug. 12.
The company, which is based in Los
Gatos, Calif., also reiterated earlier
warnings that its likely to sustain anoth-
er loss at the end of the year as it pays
for an expansion into its fourth market
outside the U.S. Netflix hasnt said
where that will be. It already has about
3.6 million subscribers in Canada, Latin
America and the United Kingdom.
Netflixs 2Q numbers disappoint
Apple sags in 3Q as iPhone gets cheaper
NEW YORK Apple is getting less for its products. Thats
a disappointment for investors who thought the company
would keep boosting prots and revenues at its previous break-
neck pace.
On Tuesday Apple Inc. revealed that its growth slowed in the
most recent quarter. In both revenue and net income, the com-
pany posted the smallest increases in years, and failed to meet
analyst expectations.
It wasnt so much the volume of sales: Apple sold 17 million
iPads in April to June period, beating expectations, and 26 mil-
lion iPhones, at the low end of expectations.
But Apples average selling prices for both gadgets declined
to levels last seen in 2010 for the iPhone and the lowest levels
ever in the case of the iPad.
Apple introduced a new iPad in March, but kept the older
model in stores while cutting its price.
The average selling prices of Macs also fell.
Net income in Apples scal third quarter was $8.8 billion,
or $9.32 per share. That was up 21 percent from $7.3 billion,
or $7.79 per share, a year ago.
New Mac operating
system goes on sale Wednesday
NEW YORK Apple Inc. will release its new operating
system for Mac computers on Wednesday, with features bor-
rowed from mobile devices and a tighter integration with
online le storage.
Dubbed Mountain Lion, the new software narrows the gap
between the PC and phone software packages, making Mac
personal computers work more like iPhones and iPads.
Its similar to what Microsoft Corp. is doing with its forth-
coming Windows 8 system. That system, to be released Oct.
26, will bring the look and user interface of Windows Phone to
PCs.
Mountain Lion will cost $20 and will be sold only as a
download. Only computers running the two most recent ver-
sions of Mac OS, Lion and Snow Leopard, can be upgraded.

GATERS GOBBLE UP COMPETITION: MILLBRAE-BASED TEAM FINISHES FIFTH OUT OF 104 TEAMS IN COOPERSTOWN >>> PAGE 12

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Beware 8-and-under softball teams every-
where. Now that the California Bombers have
their rst taste of victory, theyre going to want to
feast on it as often as they can.
The Bombers, a group of young girls based out
of San Mateo, dominated competition last week-
end and cruised to a rst place trophy at the
Rebel Classic Tournament in Rohnert Park.
It wasnt much of a challenge actually, with the
Bombers outscoring their opponents 24-4 and
posting four shutouts along the way.
Its just like in any sport, said Bombers
coach Chip Burns. The rst time you get to a
certain level, whether its the World Series or the
Super Bowl, its an eye-opening experience and
youre a lot more prepared the next time you get
back. We were a lot more prepared and a lot
more settled playing in the nals of this tourna-
ment than we were playing in nals games
before.
I could not be more proud of these girls, said
coach Ryan Calvo via email. A strong talent and
experience base, combined with a lot of hard
work and determination, is a recipe for success.
We formed this team to give these girls the
opportunity to play fast pitch tournament softball
at the highest levels and everyone has raised their
game to meet the challenge.
The Bombers played their most complete
weekend of softball at the Rebel Classic. In the
single elimination brackets Sunday, the Bombers
entered play as the No. 1 seed. They opened with
a 9-4 win over No. 5 Pajaro Valley, pounding out
the nine runs in the rst two innings. Katie
Marin launched a grand slam in the rst and
Maddy Burns followed with a bases loaded triple
in the second to back the solid pitching of Ivy
Daguio, Sadie Eisner and Grace Calvo.
Shes probably our biggest and best power
hitter, Burns said of Marin, who picked up
Offensive MVP honors. She hit a ball on
Sunday that went farther than any ball Ive seen
hit at any tournament this year.
Facing the undefeated and No. 2 seed
Petaluma Steel Breeze in the nals, the Bombers
loaded the bases in the rst, then scored Burns
when Marin was hit by a pitch. That proved to
be enough for Daguio and Grace Calvo, who
combined for the shutout.
The Bombers added three insurance runs in
the third for a 4-0 championship game win.

preliminary soccer action kicks off today.
LAST-MINUTE PREPARATIONS
Plenty of
Olympic
coverage
By David Bauder
NEW YORK The Summer
Olympics opening ceremony takes
place Friday, but the rst of 5,535
hours that NBC is showing of the
games begins Wednesday with qual-
ifying rounds in womens soccer.
With so many different options,
viewers need a road map to make
sense of it all.
NBC is promising that every com-
petition in London will be available
to U.S. consumers live, with the
bulk of them seen online.
The centerpiece of coverage will
be NBCs prime-time, 8 p.m. to
midnight on most evenings, with
Bob Costas as host. Given the time
difference with England, all of the
events will be shown on a tape-
delayed basis, although particularly
rabid fans will have the opportunity
to see each of these events online
during the day.
Costas will give people an
overview of the days big stories.

ALAMEDA The uniforms are the same
familiar silver and black the Oakland Raiders
have worn for decades. The roster contains the
fastest collection of players in the NFL. And
the offense features a quarterback who wants
to throw the ball deep.
Those are just some of the many familiar
standards that still exist as the Raiders head to
their rst training camp since death of owner
and architect Al Davis.
But make no mistake, theres a different
vibe around the Raiders as they begin prepa-
rations for their rst season in a half-century
without Davis at the helm.
The newness has started to dwindle, but
every day is something because things have
been done a certain way for so long. Its just
the way it is, general
manager Reggie
McKenzie said. Changes
are going to continue to be
made through this time
next year because you
cant build Rome
overnight.
But McKenzie has made
progress on a complete
overhaul since being hired
by Davis son, Mark, in
January to run the football side of the organi-
zation that had been under Al Davis purview
ever since he arrived as coach in Oakland in
1963.

LOS ANGELES Southern California is eli-
gible to win championships again, and the Pac-12
media expect the Trojans to reclaim their spot atop
the league.
USC has been picked to win the Pac-12 in the
annual preseason poll, the league announced
Tuesday.
The Trojans were picked to win the South
Division on 117 of the 123 ballots, while Oregon
was picked to win the North Division by the same
overwhelming margin. Still mired in scholarship
restrictions and NCAA probation, USC has been
picked to win the league championship game by
102 of the voters.
USC coach Lane Kifn wasnt about to get
cocky or say anything incendiary at the rst pre-
season gathering of the leagues coaches and top
talent in the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal
Studios.
The preseason rankings and all the questions
we have gotten today about that, that has nothing
to do with how well we will play next year and
whether we will win games, said Kifn, who has
thrived under harsh NCAA sanctions over the past
two years.
USC has enjoyed an undeniably outstanding
offseason after nishing 10-2 and No. 6 in the nal
AP poll last season despite bowl ineligibility and a
smaller roster. After quarterback Matt Barkley and
safety T.J. McDonald decided in December to

California Golden Gaters manager Marc
Biagini believes in the baseball gods. But even
he had a bit of difculty putting into words his
teams latest accomplishment.
I think when we went 4-0 we realized we had
something going, Biagini said of his teams
recent play at a three-day tournament in
Cooperstown, N.Y. You know, when the Giants
won the World Series, they said The Magic
Inside of AT&T Park; we had that magic. We
just fell a little short. We did better than we
expected. Theyre 12 year olds, things happen,
but we had that magic. We had a baseball god
looking over us and we rolled. They out-per-
formed what we expected. They came together.
Riding that wave of baseball magic, the
Golden Gaters, a team out of Millbrae, nished
fth out of 104 teams from throughout the
United States and Canada.
Were savoring it, because we missed out on
being No. 4 by one strike, Biagini said. But
yes, it was a great time. It was a fantastic time.
This place is phenomenal. You have to pay a lot
of money to get here, so we did a lot of fundrais-
ing but we brought a homegrown team of kids
from Millbrae and San Mateo there and played
against teams who have sponsors. And we did
damn good.
The sense of accomplishment for Biagini and
his boys was quite large considering the addi-
tional work and labor performed by the members
of Cooperstown-bound squad. That, coupled
with the uncertainty of playing in a national tour-
nament, combined adrenaline and satisfaction
for Biagini and his players.
We had no idea who were playing, he said.
And like I said, were playing 12-year old kids
who have sponsors, who y them all over the
country to play in tournaments. Were a home-
grown team.
Biagini said the idea of playing baseball in
what is the historical Mecca of the sport was
huge for his young players. Still, distractions
aside, the boys from Millbrae honed in on repre-
senting their town with pride.
Great pitching, timely hitting and just playing
Gaters baseball, Biagini said about the keys to
success. We grinded it out. Theyre 12 year
olds. Theyre emotional. They get down and get
up. But everyone just stuck to it this time. We
had a great tournament. We saw things out of our
kids we hadnt see before. They rose to the occa-
sion.
They were very down when nally lost we
lost by a walk-off after some bad play and they
were disappointed. But they also realized that
they accomplished something. This is the 10th
anniversary of Millbrae sending a team to
Cooperstown and nobody has ever done what
weve done.
Biagini added his team wouldnt have done as
well without the work and support of his teams
followers.
We had a great following, Biagini said.
They would webcast some of the games and we
were texting people. People were texting us. We
had a great support group from the Bay Area.
Golden Gaters finish fifth in Cooperstown
You have to pay a lot of money to get here, so we did
a lot of fundraising but we brought a homegrown team
of kids from Millbrae and San Mateo there and played
against teams who have sponsors. And we did damn good.

TORONTO Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-
run single and the streaking Oakland Athletics
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 Tuesday night
for their season-best sixth win in a row.
Derek Norris hit a two-run homer and Travis
Blackley won his third straight decision as the
As improved to 15-2 in July. Oakland (52-44)
is eight games over .500 for the rst time since
July 12, 2008.
Travis Snider and J.P. Arencibia each hit
solo homers and Brett Lawrie had three hits
for the Blue Jays, whose three-game winning
streak came to an end.
Blackley (3-2) allowed one run and ve hits
in seven innings. The left-hander, who has not
lost since June 10 at Arizona, walked one and
struck out a career-best
eight.
Evan Scribner worked
the eighth and Jim Miller
gave up Arencibias 16th
homer in the ninth.
Brett Cecil (2-3) allowed
two runs and ve hits in six
innings and has won just
once in his past six starts.
The Athletics put the
game away with a ve-run
outburst in the seventh, doing all their damage
with two outs. Brandon Hicks doubled and
Jemile Weeks chased reliever Chad Beck with
an RBI triple. J.A. Happ came on immediately
gave up an RBI double to Coco Crisp, then
walked Jonny Gomes.
After a double steal, Josh Reddick walked to
load the bases for Cespedes, who had struck
out in his previous three at-bats. On Happs 3-
2 pitch, Cespedes lined a bases-clearing single
to center.
Oakland opened the scoring in the second
when Brandon Inge reached on a two-out sin-
gle and Norris hit Cecils next pitch into the
second deck in left, his third homer of the sea-
son.
The Blue Jays answered in the third on a
leadoff homer by Snider, his second. Snider
also connected in Sundays 15-7 victory at
Boston.
NOTES: Blue Jays OF Jose Bautista (left
wrist) is making good strides in his return
from the injury, manager John Farrell said, and
could be swinging a bat and hitting off the tee
soon. ... Toronto RHP Sergio Santos under-
went season-ending shoulder surgery Tuesday.
... An MRI on Blue Jays RHP Jason Frasor
(forearm) showed no tear, but he has been told
not to throw for two weeks. ... Oakland LHP
Dallas Braden (shoulder) threw a 33-pitch
bullpen session Tuesday and could face live
hitters when he throws next. ... Athletics RHP
Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) will throw a 45-
pitch simulated game at Oaklands spring
training facility in Arizona on Wednesday. ...
As LHP Brett Anderson (elbow) will pitch
four innings at Triple-A Sacramento on
Thursday. ... Reddick threw out Lawrie trying
to advance to third in the rst, his 10th outeld
assist.

of the games. As in the past, NBC will be
heavy on personal stories to make non-sports
fans interested in strangers they will see com-
peting in sports they rarely follow with the
obvious exception of known personalities like
Michael Phelps. And if you want badminton
or boxing, youll have to turn elsewhere: the
prime-time hours are generally concentrated
on the swimming, diving, gymnastics and
track and eld competitions.
New to NBC this year is the amount of cov-
erage presented during the business day, start-
ing at 10 a.m. following the Today show.
The cable and satellite networks all avoid
prime-time hours to funnel those viewers into
NBC. Except for those hours and the
overnight in London, a viewer could expect to
see competition on NBC and cable the rest of
the day.
The NBC Sports Network, for example, is
on the air from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET on Sunday,
the second full day of the competition. The
cable and satellite outt did not exist during
the last Olympics and will show 292 hours of
competition this year. It is being positioned as
the home of U.S. team sports. The centerpiece
of Sundays coverage, for example, is the U.S.
mens basketball teams game against France.
While producers want the NBC Sports
Network to form an identity as a home of U.S.
team sports, the truth is that NBC, NBC
Sports and MSNBC are airing so much com-
petition that they will lack clearly focused
identities. The best way to keep track of their
daytime schedules is to keep checking
NBCOlympics.com.
As it has in the past, the CNBC business
network is positioned as the home of Olympic
boxing, including womens boxing for the
rst time. The competition will be focused
weekdays on the hours between the close of
nancial markets and the beginning of TV
prime-time.
Between July 28 and Aug. 3, Bravo will air
the Olympics tennis competition.
The amount of hours available to Spanish-
speaking viewers through Telemundo are also
being sharply increased, and then network
promises a broader look at the range of com-
petitions than it has in the past. Still, swim-
ming, basketball and soccer will be the sports
the network concentrates upon.
Through cable and satellite providers, NBC
is also running speciality channels devoted to
the basketball and soccer competitions. For
the rst time, the Olympics will also be pre-
sented in 3-D with a special channel available
to viewers with this technical capability.
With all that coverage on television, NBC
will be offering even more online. That repre-
sents a change in philosophy; the network
once worried that making competitions avail-
able online could cut into the number of peo-
ple who want to watch on television. Now
NBCs leaders believe all of the online com-
petition will compel viewers to want to watch
more online.
The NBC Olympics Live Extra App gives
fans a variety of options, including live
streams of what is being shown on the TV net-
works. Online channels will also be set up to
offer coverage of every single Olympic com-
petition taking place, and the Gold Zone will
have rapidly-moving coverage of the days
most compelling live events.
To satisfy cable and satellite operators,
NBC is requiring viewers to prove that they
have a cable or satellite subscription in order
to access the online options. This requires a
username and password from the companies,
so interested viewers would be advised to set
those up before the games start to avoid miss-

ing running backs DeAnthony Thomas and
Kenjon Barner. The Ducks will go through a
transition with the departures of star ball-carrier
LaMichael James and quarterback Darron
Thomas, who went undrafted after leaving early.
Stanford was picked second in the North
Division despite the departure of NFL No. 1 pick
Andrew Luck, with Washington slotted third and
California fourth. Washington State is fth under
new coach Mike Leach, who got ample attention
from the media in Hollywood while regaling the
press with stories of hunting and shing in his
new home.
Leach is enjoying the challenge of attempting
to rebuild the Cougars into an inventive team
similar to the high-prole program he created at
Texas Tech.
There are a lot of people that hadnt been to
Lubbock, Texas, and there are a lot of people that
havent been to Pullman, Washington, Leach
said. And once they get there, they love the
place. They see the electricity and the atmos-
phere that exists there, and that you have a spe-
cic identity thats special. So I think the key is
getting them there, and really, I tell everybody
they need to come for all the same reasons that I
did.
Utah was picked second behind the Trojans in
the South Division, getting one rst-place vote.
UCLA was picked third for its rst season under
new coach Jim Mora, who has energized the
Bruins fan base after Rick Neuheisels middling
tenure with strong recruiting and an attention-
getting attitude.
PAC-12
SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Crawford
singled home the winning run in the ninth
inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the
San Diego Padres 3-2 Tuesday night, their
ninth victory in 11 games since the All-Star
break.
Brandon Belt walked to open the ninth and
Angel Pagan singled. Both runners moved up
on a wild pitch ahead of Crawfords single
against Joe Thatcher (0-4).
Santiago Casilla (4-4) pitched the ninth for
the victory.
Jesus Guzman had two hits and drove in a
run for the Padres, who have lost 17 of their last
22 against the Giants.
Edinson Volquez got off to a shaky start for
the Padres but was unhittable over his nal six
innings. He allowed two runs on three hits over
seven innings. He walked three and struck out
eight. He also drove in a run.
Volquez is 3-0 over his last six starts with a
1.56 ERA.
Giants starter Madison
Bumgarner gave up two
runs on six hits, walking
two and striking out nine.
Bumgarner is 1-2 with a
4.15 ERA in four starts
since his rst career shutout
and complete game.
The Giants scored twice
in the rst inning before
Volquez shut them down.
Nate Schierholtz doubled and went to third on
Ryan Theriots single. Melky Cabrera ground-
ed out to score one run and Pablo Sandoval
doubled home the other run.
Volquez did not give up another hit the rest
of the way.
The Padres tied the game in the third on dou-
bles by Carlos Quentin and Guzman and
Volquezs RBI single.

Ivy has been a very top-level
pitcher for us all season long,
Burns said. Shes small in stature
but she throws the ball hard, shes
got a huge heart. She gets out there
and competes hard every game. I
will say [awarding her the Pitching
MVP] was a tough call because it
could have easily gone to Grace
Calvo as well, who also pitched her
heart out in this tournament.
The Bombers dominated
Saturdays pool play to earn the No.
1 seed, refusing to yield even a sin-
gle run over three games.
The Bombers opened with a con-
vincing 9-0 win over the host
Rohnert Park Rebels and then fol-
lowed it up with a 2-0 victory over a
very tough San Bruno Storm team,
with Grace Calvo and Sarah Burnett
hitting solo home runs. Grace
Calvo was on re all day, reaching
base six times.
In the nightcap against the
Quicksilver from San Jose, the
Bombers bats were shut down by
some very good pitching, with the
game tied at zero going into the bot-
tom of the fourth.
With a runner on rst and the
heart of the Quicksilver batting
order coming up, Burns, who
excelled all weekend at second base
for the Bombers, made the defensive
highlight of the tournament, going
high to snare a line drive to end the
threat. In fact, defense has been a
key factor to the Bombers success
this summer, with a trio of gifted
outelders putting up what Burns
called The Steel Wall.
Weve been a very, very good
defensive team all year long and
weve had great pitching all year but
weve had a little trouble hitting the
ball at times especially against top-
level pitching, Burns said. And out
bats really broke out this weekend. I
think that was the difference
between doing well in pool play on
Saturday and actually being able to
nish the job and win on Sunday.

Madden roamed the sidelines during
the 1970s, overhauled the scouting
and personnel departments, made
signicant roster changes by jetti-
soning some big-money players and
modernized the out-of-date infra-
structure.
Its denitely different. You dont
see the same faces around here any-
more, said defensive tackle Tommy
Kelly, entering his ninth season with
the Raiders. Al D was almost hands
on with everything. He was very
involved with every decision and
now its a chain of command.
McKenzie is in charge of the front
ofce and Allen has quickly seized
the reins on the eld. The longtime
assistant has adjusted well to his rst
head coaching job at age 39.
He has earned the respect dur-
ing the offseason of veterans like
Richard Seymour, who praised
Allens teaching skills, and
young players as well.
The former Denver defensive
coordinator has also installed a new
defense in Oakland after years of
running Davis preferred style of
man-to-man coverage on the outside
and little blitzing up front.
Safety Michael Huff said hes
happy to be playing a real defense
in his seventh season with the
Raiders.
Nothing personal but, obviously,
before with Al, rest in peace, he had
his hands in all the defense. Huff
said. He had all his little things he
liked to do. Now with D.A. out
there, we got all kinds of blitzes, we
got 3-4, 4-3 fronts, just a lot of dif-
ferent variety and a lot of different
things going on. So, Im going to
love it.
The defensive schemes are far
from the only changes. Barely one-
third of the roster headed to camp
played a single game with the
Raiders before Davis death last Oct.
8. The newcomers are at crucial
spots, most notably at quarterback
where Carson Palmer prepares for
his rst full season in Oakland.
Acquired last October from
Cincinnati in a bold deal by former
coach Hue Jackson for a 2012 rst-
round pick and 2013 second-round-
er, Palmer showed signs of being the
elite quarterback he was a few years
ago in Cincinnati but was far too
inconsistent with 16 interceptions in
10 games.
But with a full offseason to learn a
new offense that will feature plenty
of bootlegs and rollouts and to build
a rapport with a speedy, young
receiving corps, Palmer feels rejuve-
nated after being ready to retire a
year ago rather than play with the
Bengals.
Its a completely new offense,
he said. Theres really no similari-
ties to anything Ive done before, but
I love all the boots and play-actions
and all the nakeds and keepers. Im
excited to do that and really those
are the things that are going to help
the run game. The more the running
game moves the chains and the bet-
ter the run game is, the better every-
one else is on the entire team.

different. The 72-year-old began and now
owns the Maxs Restaurant company, which
operates 14 locations around the Bay Area,
including ones at the airports.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Pa., Berkowitz
started on this career path early by helping his
father, who was also in the restaurant busi-
ness.
I was dipping ice cream by the time I
could reach the cabinets, Berkowitz said. I
got that infection.
But Berkowitzs ambitions didnt end with
ice cream. He graduated from Michigan State
University in 1961 with a degree in restaurant
management, and then served in the military
as a lieutenant and managed the Fort McNair
ofcers club in Washington, D.C.
Hotels were the next phase of Berkowitzs
career. He worked in Boston at the Hotel
Corporation of America (now the Sonesta
International Hotels Corporation) and, in
1967, he was recruited across the country by
Richard Swig, the chairman of the Fairmont
Hotel Management Company in San
Francisco. After ve years as the food and
beverage director at the Fairmont, Berkowitz
caught the eye of the Hyatt Corporation and
became vice president of food and beverages
at 29.
Though Berkowitz said he became pretty
well known nationally in the industry and
won a lot of awards (he was awarded the
IFMA Silver Plate Award in 1974), he does-
nt take all the credit for himself. His success
was more due to luck, he said.
I was doing nice things, and people recog-
nized it, Berkowitz said. It was being in the
right place at the right time ... Ive had a lot of
lucky breaks.
It wasnt until 1978 that Berkowitz
switched gears and opened the rst Maxs
restaurant, Maxs Son, in Daly City. Hed
been successful at his job at Hyatt, he said,
and so he thought he might as well be suc-
cessful for himself.
This restaurant was named after himself,
Berkowitz said, but was also a tribute to his
father and had a nice ring to it. Owning a
restaurant was a huge shift for Berkowitz
from his job at Hyatt. He said the biggest dif-
ference was during the holidays.
At Christmas time when I worked at
Hyatt, my office was full of presents,
Berkowitz said. When I was in business for
myself, there wasnt one present.
The company took off once the second
Maxs restaurant, Maxs Opera Cafe, opened
in San Francisco, Berkowitz said. The restau-
rant featured singing servers and high-end
delicatessen bistro food, he said, which was
unique for the time and place.
Thats what put us on the map, Berkowitz
said. It was a very edgy restaurant at that
time ... it t a niche that wasnt in San
Francisco.
Maxs restaurants were intended to offer
customers large portions of high-quality com-
fort food for reasonable prices, Berkowitz
said, and the fare is delicatessen-based but
done in style. And the restaurants also serve
as a fun, casual atmosphere, he said.
Berkowitz has even left an impact on the
Maxs menu itself by having items named
after family, friends and even his doctors over
the years. Theres one sandwich named for
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, a fam-
ily friend who also ofciated his sons wed-
ding.
The toughest thing for someone in
Berkowitzs position is making sure not to get
too condent, he said, and added running a
restaurant company takes a lot of luck.
The most challenging thing is when you
think that youve got a pot of gold, youve got
another thing coming, Berkowitz said.
Theres a lot of pitfalls in the restaurant
business ... you make a lot of mistakes in this
business.
But Maxs Restaurants has made a lot of
people happy over the years, Berkowitz said,
and also supported his family.
Ive sent my whole family through col-
lege, law school, graduate school, Berkowitz
said. I spent a fortune educating them.
Hopefully theyll reciprocate when Im in the
home ... theyll come visit me every once in a
while.
As if owning a successful restaurant fran-
chise wasnt enough, Berkowitz, who lives in
Hillsborough, recently opened a new restau-
rant called Vault 164 in downtown San Mateo
in the historic former Crocker Bank building
on B Street at Second Avenue. This restaurant
is totally different and separate from Maxs,
Berkowitz said, because its a more upscale
and modern atmosphere. Vault 164 also lls a
niche too, Berkowitz said, because with cus-
tomers dont need to travel to San Francisco
for a restaurant with a big-city feel.
It gives them a nice option, because it is a
classy joint, Berkowitz said.
Berkowitz is no stranger to treating cus-
tomers right. To be in the restaurant business
you need to be out there, Berkowitz said,
and added that hes not bashful. He still
makes a point to interact with customers and
gives away a lot of food, he said. That goes a
long way to make people smile, he said.
It doesnt take much to make people
smile, Berkowitz said. You have to give a
little to get back.
The advice Berkowitz would give to some-
one going into the restaurant business today
is dont do it, but he also said its important
to make sure you have enough capital or your
dream will be over before it starts. The com-
petition between restaurants is also more
intense today, he said.
Nevertheless, Berkowitz is happy with the
path that he chose. This business was bashert
for him.
I dont know how to do anything else, he
said.

Diablo Drain Cleaner that contains sulfuric
acid; ammonia; and Marine Resin, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Office.
The containers had been kept on the prop-
erty for prolonged periods of time, some for
at least 10 years, according to the civil com-
plaint.
In early January, two Recology employees
drove their rear-loading garbage truck into
the business parking lot for a routine
garbage pickup. They rolled the dumpster
into position at the rear of their garbage
truck and transferred the contents. In doing
so, the two Recology workers unknowingly
moved the five containers of hazardous
waste from the dumpster to their garbage
truck, according to the District Attorneys
Office.
Just as the garbage trucks actuator blade
began moving the items to the rear of the
truck, an audible explosion occurred.
Turning from the noise, the two workers just
missed being sprayed by toxic liquid,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
However, the two workers inhaled smoke
emanating from the chemical brew that
caused them both breathing difficulties, eye
pain and prolonged and sustained coughing
to the point that one of them vomited,
A Recology supervisor called to the scene
by the two workers also unknowingly
walked through a visible gas cloud that was
still present near the rear of the truck,
The supervisor then called 911 and all
three were transported to a local hospital for
treatment.
Police, fire and a hazardous materials
crew were called to the scene and spent
hours going through the contents of the
garbage to locate and identify the toxic sub-
stances.
Recology does not handle hazardous
materials, the companys General Manager
Mario Puccinelli told the Daily Journal yes-
terday.
Volatile chemicals cannot be mixed in
trucks, he said.
All Recology employees benefit from
ongoing hazmat training, he said, not just for
the safety of its workers but for the general
public as well.
We need to reinforce to the public how to
properly dispose of hazardous materials,
Puccinelli said.
The countys Environmental Health
Department handles hazmat disposal, he
said.
The violations a judge will consider
against Pellarin include how the hazardous
materials were disposed of, how long they
were stored, the severity of the harm done
and whether the company had an unfair
advantage over its competitors by not paying
for the proper disposal of the chemicals, said
Deputy District Attorney Todd Feinberg.
A judge will also consider whether
Pellarin provided a safe working environ-
ment for its employees and whether they
were properly trained, Feinberg said.
The District Attorneys Office is seeking
civil penalties, reimbursement for the cost of
the cleaning the site and a permanent injunc-
tion against Pellarin to force it to comply
with environmental law.
Arron John Pellarin could not be reached
for comment yesterday. His attorney David
Sloan said his client had just received the
complaint and was not prepared to comment
on it.

NEW YORK Yogurt companies are
looking to cultivate Americans taste for
dairy.
The countrys top Greek yogurt maker,
Chobani, is opening up its first yogurt bar
in New York City on Wednesday as it looks
to strengthen its position in a rapidly grow-
ing market. Dannon, a long-time industry
giant, also opened up a shop in New York
City earlier this month called The Yogurt
Culture Company that serves both fresh
Greek and traditional varieties.
The two companies say there are no plans
yet for additional locations. But such flag-
ship stores can add luster to a brand and
help build loyal fan bases, which will be
critical at a time when tastes are shifting
and competition is intensifying.
U.S. sales of Greek yogurt have more
than doubled in the past five years to $1.6
billion, according to Euromonitor
International. Last year, Greek yogurt
accounted for about 21 percent of yogurt
sales, up from 1.5 percent in 2006.
Unlike the thinner, more sugary yogurts
that dominated U.S. supermarket shelves
for years, Greek yogurt has a thicker con-
sistency because of the way its strained.
For many, a big part of the attraction is that
its also low in fat and high in protein.
Given its versatility in sweet and savory
dishes, companies also see plenty of room
for growth.
We want to open up the horizon for the
way people look at yogurt in the U.S., says
Hamdi Ulukaya, Chobanis founder and
CEO. When it comes to yogurt, America is
underdeveloped.
At the Chobani store in Manhattans
trendy Soho neighborhood, there are no
make-it-yourself options, as with many
frozen yogurt shops where customers can
pile on their own toppings. The menu will
instead offer a set list of creations devel-
oped by Ulukaya, such as one that has
chopped figs and walnuts with honey driz-
zled on top. Savory options like yogurt
with cucumbers or olive oil are also
available.
Orders are served in glass bowls, in sin-
gle (6 ounces) or double (12 ounces) sizes
for $3.75 or $4.75. Customers are given
recipe cards with their orders, and can buy
the ingredients such as olive oil and fruits
at the store. By encouraging customers to
make such yogurt dishes on their own, the
idea is to make the Chobani sold in super-
markets more of a household staple.
Over at the Yogurt Culture Company near
Grand Central, the philosophy is that allow-
ing for customization will lead to growth.
Today, you can order myriad types of
coffee at a cafe, said Michael Neuwirth, a
spokesman for Dannon. We believe the
same concept can apply to yogurt.
Customers can pick from traditional or
Greek yogurt (more people opt for the lat-
ter) and add any amount of toppings for a
set price of $5.49 for a 5-ounce cup.
What we sell is unlike anything we sell
in a supermarket, Neuwirth said, noting
that yogurt is fresh and made with just milk
and cultures, and no preservatives.
At Chobani, Ulukaya says his carefully
choreographed dishes reflect the various
ways he ate yogurt while growing up in
Turkey. But there is one distinctly
American option that stands out: a yogurt
generously topped with thick peanut butter
and jelly.
Ulukaya says that one wasnt his idea
but he thinks it can reach kids or those not
accustomed to the tart taste of Greek
yogurt. As with the other creations, its art-
fully served in a glass bowl and topped with
sliced grapes and peanut halves for crunch.
Maybe we can get Turkish people to like
this one, Ulukaya said.
Yogurt bars open in NYC amid Greek yogurt craze
Dannon,a long-time industry giant,also opened up a shop in New York City earlier this month
called The Yogurt Culture Company that serves both fresh Greek and traditional varieties.

By Alison Ladman
Salads can be a great way to pile on the
vegetables, not to mention serve as a ne
canvas for showing off summers bounty.
But sometimes OK, a lot of times
eating a plate full of greens can be a
bit boring. Then there are the toppings.
Too often, we are tempted to pile on fatty
toppings like cheese, bacon, seeds and
nuts, or rich dressings, all in an attempt
to amplify the avor.
So we decided to create a salad that is
both jammed with healthy vegetables
including a whole mess of greens but
also has tons of avor (without tons of
fat).
The rst order of business was the
plate full of greens. There is nothing
wrong with a mound of greens, but we
wanted to jazz it up. Mixing in a handful
of fresh herbs added instant avor. To top
this off we created a salsa-like mixture of
chopped vegetables, some of which are
grilled for maximum impact.
A drizzle of pickled shallot vinaigrette
and we had a beautiful and tasty salad.
But to really make this a meal, we also
topped it with strips of grilled chicken.
Shrimp or tofu would be easy substitutes.
CHOPPED SUMMER SALAD WITH
GRILLED CHICKEN AND HERBS
Start to nish: 45 minutes active, plus
marinating
Servings: 4
For the chicken:
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound chicken breast cutlets or ten-
ders
For the greens:
5-ounce package mixed spring greens
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
leaves
3 tablespoons torn fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
For the vinaigrette:
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup nely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the chopped vegetables:
2 ears corn, husked
2 tomatillos, husked and halved
2 medium apples, cored and chopped
1 cup peeled and chopped jicama
1 red bell pepper, cored and chopped
To prepare the chicken, in a zip-close
plastic bag, combine the olive oil, red
wine vinegar, salt, black pepper and gar-
lic. Add the chicken, then massage the
marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for 2
hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, prepare the greens. In a
large bowl, combine the mixed greens,
chives, cilantro, basil, parsley and mint.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook the chicken, pre-
pare the vinaigrette. In a small saucepan
over medium-high heat, combine the rice
wine vinegar, sugar, salt, allspice, cloves
and shallots. Bring to a simmer and cook
for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and
let cool. Whisk in the mustard and olive
oil.
Heat the grill to high. Using an oil-
soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil
the grill grates.
Add the chicken, both ears of corn and
the tomatillos to the grill. The chicken
should grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
The corn should grill for about the same
time, but with frequent turning to sear all
sides. The tomatillos should be grilled for
the same duration, cut side down.
Transfer the vegetables to a plate to cool.
Once cooled, chop the tomatillos. Cut
the kernels off the corn. To do this, one at
a time stand each ear of corn on its wide
end and use a serrated knife to saw down
the length of the cob.
In a medium bowl, combine the corn,
tomatillos, apples, jicama and bell pep-
per. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the veg-
etables, then toss to coat.
To serve, divide the greens between 4
plates. Top with the chopped vegetable
mixture, then the grilled chicken.

W
hat do you do when you are
hankering for blueberry
mufns, but dont have a
mufn pan handy? Or maybe you just
dont feel like cranking up the oven on
a hot summer day.
During a recent vacation (sans mufn
pan) I discovered that you cook them in
a skillet, using the mufn batter the
same as you would pancake batter. And
the results are outstanding.
Why not just make blueberry pan-
cakes? To answer that, we need to look
at the differences between pancake and
mufn batters. Though recipes will
vary, most pancake and mufn recipes
call for equal amounts of our and
eggs. But while pancakes call for more
liquid, mufns get more (often way
more) sugar, fat and baking powder.
Thats why mufns are dense and
cake-like, while pancakes are light and
uffy.
So while mufn batter cooked in a
skillet may resemble a pancake, the
taste is all mufn. I even top the
mufns with a blend of cinnamon-sugar
(just as you would a mufn); this
caramelizes beautifully when you ip
them. And while
mufns can take
half an hour to
bake, these pan-
cake-style mufns
cook up in just
minutes.
Also, this recipe
works just as well
with white whole-
wheat our as with
all-purpose our,
so substitute equal-
ly if you want a
whole-grain option.
SKILLET BLUEBERRY
MUFFIN PANCAKES
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
For the mufns:
2 cups all-purpose
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
For the topping:
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
In a large bowl, stir together the our,
sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt
and lemon zest. In a separate bowl or 2-
cup liquid measuring cup, whisk
together the milk, egg, oil and vanilla.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry,
then stir just until a batter forms.
Gently stir in the blueberries. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the
brown sugar and cinnamon.
Heat a large skillet over medium.
Coat the skillet with cooking spray,
reduce heat to low, then ladle batter into
the skillet, using about 1/4 to 1/3 cup
per mufn. Do not crowd the pan, as
the mufns will spread. Sprinkle the top
of each mufn with a bit of the topping.
Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or
until risen and browned on the bottom.
Use a spatula to ip and cook for
another 2 to 4 minutes. Repeat with
remaining batter.

Pros and cons on proposed
New York sugary drink ban
By Samantha Gross
NEW YORK Medical professionals lined up at a public
hearing Tuesday to speak in favor of a proposed ban on large-
sized sugary drinks at New York City restaurants, cafeterias
and snack trucks, while opponents decried the plan as an
assault on personal freedom and wondered what tasty but
unhealthy foods might be targeted next.
New York Citys health board heard hours of testimony on a
proposed rule that would limit soft-drink cup and bottle sizes
at food service establishments to no larger than 16 ounces.
Medical experts spared no rhetoric in hailing the proposal as
a way to protect the public, saying that sodas and other sweet-
ened beverages are a leading factor in a health epidemic linked
to poor eating habits that kills thousands of New Yorkers every
year. More than one likened soda companies to big tobacco.
One doctor said before the hearing that the calorie-packed
beverages consumers now down with abandon increase the risk
of diabetes, and are responsible for a big share of the massive
suffering and premature death linked to obesity.
Soda in large amounts is metabolically toxic, said Walter
Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard
School of Public Health. Its obvious that this is the right
thing to do.
A 20-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola has roughly the same calo-
rie count as a McDonalds hamburger, but Kelly Brownell, a
psychology, epidemiology and public health professor at Yale
University, said it is easier to over-drink than over-eat.
You dont feel as full when you consume calories in liq-
uids, he said.
Critics ridiculed the idea that city ofcials would be trying to
regulate how much people eat or drink.
City Councilman Daniel Halloran III called the proposal a
feel-good placebo that would hurt prot margins at small
businesses while failing to improve anyones health.
He questioned whether a limit on the size of steak was
around the corner.
Another critical councilman, Oliver Koppell, called the ban
a clear overreaching of government into peoples everyday
lives.

cities or other agencies, such as Caltrain,
to also levy a sales tax for other critical
needs. For these reasons, I supported a
more modest tax proposal.
The sales tax hike needed four board
votes to be placed on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Asking voters to approve a tax
increase was a tough decision, said
Jacobs Gibson.
The county provides a broad range of
programs and services that have a direct
or indirect benet for every resident and
business in San Mateo County.
Continued cuts to vital programs and
services threaten the quality of life
weve come to know and expect, Jacobs
Gibson wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.
The extra income is needed as the
county has slashed more than $70 mil-
lion and eliminated more than 700 posi-
tions the past four years, said Horsley.
The county now has 5,104 employees
and a structural decit approaching $41
million by 2016-17 if left untouched. In
June, the Board of Supervisors passed a
$1.8 million budget that includes capital
needs such as improvements to two
ofce buildings the county purchased for
$40 million last year and initial planning
and building costs for a new jail.
State and federal cuts have eroded
local programs, Tissier said.
Its really a local control issue. This
measure would provide us with local
revenue that we can use for local servic-
es, Tissier wrote in a statement.
Employees are paying a larger share of
salaries toward health and retirement
benefits, new lower-cost retirement
plans have been negotiated for new
employees and most employees have not
received salary increases since 2008,
according to the county.
If approved by voters, the measure
would increase the sales tax in San
Mateo County to 8.75 percent from 8.25
percent except in the city of San Mateo.
The city of San Mateos sales tax would
rise to 9 percent from the current rate of
8.5 percent due to a voter-approved
measure. Half Moon Bay residents will
also face a half-cent sales tax this
November. The request comes on the
heels of a trio of tax measures on the
June ballot to fund county services.
Voters rejected two of the tax proposals
but passed a 2.5 percent tax on car
rentals that will bring in an estimated $8
million a year.
Supervisors said they struggled with
going to the voters. But the need for vital
public safety and health and social serv-
ices is great, they said.
This is the single most difcult issue
and vote I have taken in my elected
career, Groom wrote in a statement. She
said that residents need to look deep
into their hearts and see that many of
their fellow residents are struggling.
Passage of the tax measure requires a
simple majority and could not begin
before April 1, 2013.

SALES TAX
a previously-closed school at 2220
Summit Drive, in 2010. Upgrading the
school so it meets state standards along
with revitalizing the districts technolo-
gy will require more money which
district ofcials have said could be cov-
ered through a bond measure.
Superintendent Maggie MacIssac
explained the school facilities are an
average of about 70 years old. A bond
measure will allow the district to provide
up-to-date and safe places for the stu-
dents while updating the technology, she
said.
In August, the board voted for a con-
ceptual design for Hoover which calls
for the renovation of the original 1930s
building and removal of the 1949 annex
building which would allow for a new
building in its place. This would create a
school with 11 classrooms, one day-care
room and a library created from two of
the smaller current classrooms. There
will be a multipurpose room with a new
stage, main ofce, specialist spaces in
the new buildings and support spaces.
Estimates to upgrade the facility have
ranged from $6.87 million to $10.8 mil-
lion, with the current plan being on the
higher end.
Measure A, a $48.3 million bond
measure, was passed in 2007.
Purchasing the now-vacant Hoover
School for $4.85 million was one of the
larger purchases from the measure.
Money from Measure A has also been
used for design work, environmental
analysis, surveying and preliminary
engineering for the Hoover site.
Hoover was built in the 1930s, closed
in 1978 and sold 10 years later. In 1989,
Shinnyo-En Buddhist Facility was grant-
ed a city permit for the site but later
moved out of Burlingame.
If the measure is passed by 55 percent
of voters, it would cost $30 per $100,000
of a propertys value. Burlingame will
most likely be one of three school-relat-
ed measures on the November ballot.
The San Carlos Elementary School
District Board of Trustees previously
placed a $72 million bond measure on
the November ballot. Such funds could
be used for updating technology, repair-
ing schools, improving trafc safety,
reducing overcrowding and upgrading
energy efciencies to create long-term
savings, according to the district.
The San Bruno Park Elementary
School District is scheduled to vote on a
$199 annual parcel tax for ve years
tonight. As proposed, the tax would be
used to sustain neighborhood schools,
reduce the number of combination class-
es, attract and retain teachers, reduce the
cost of special education and fund cur-
riculum modernization, according to the
proposed measure language. A parcel
tax requires a two-thirds rate of support
to pass.

EL PASO, Texas Sherman
Hemsley, the actor who made the irasci-
ble, bigoted George Jefferson of The
Jeffersons one of televisions most
memorable characters and a symbol for
urban upward mobility, has died. He was
74.
Police in El Paso, Texas, said late
Tuesday that Hemsley was found dead at
a local home where neighbors said hed
lived for years. A statement from police
said no foul play is suspected and that
the exact cause of
death is pending.
The Philadelphia-
born Hemsley first
played the bluster-
ing black Harlem
businessman on
CBSs All in the
Family before he
was spun off onto
The Jeffersons,
which in 11 seasons
from 1975 to 1985 became one of
TVs most successful sitcoms par-
ticularly noteworthy with its mostly
black cast.
With the gospel-style theme song of
Movin On Up, the hit show depicted
the wealthy former neighbors of Archie
and Edith Bunker in Queens as they
made their way on New Yorks Upper
East Side. Hemsley and the Jeffersons
(Isabel Sanford played his wife) often
dealt with contemporary issues of
racism, but more frequently reveled in
the sitcom archetype of a short-tempered,
opinionated patriarch trying, often
unsuccessfully to control his family.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Think twice before get-

thing is a fait accompli if its only half-fnished.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre not on your
toes, its quite likely that youll repeat an error very
similar to one you recently made, only this time you
wont have any excuses.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do your best to avoid
fnancial gambles and those who are prone to take
them. If you dont do so, youre asking for money
trouble.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Clarify the rules regard-
ing a partnership arrangement so that no one in the
group tries to supersede anyone else. Should that
happen, trouble is likely.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Move today when con-
sidering making any long-range maneuvers concern-
ing your work or career, in order to be sure that your
information is accurate and your ideas realistic.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is not a good time
to make loans to friends or to borrow any funds from
them. Arrangements of this ilk are likely to cause
complications in the future.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- In your eagerness
to start something new, you might not take under
consideration all the ramifcations. Dont get in over
your head.
