College of San Mateo
instructor Ed Remitz was
prepared to get back to
work this Monday with a
full load of classes and
some new students eager
to learn the newspaper
business.
He was scheduled to
teach at least ve jour-
nalism classes this fall
but learned Tuesday in
an email the college
canceled four of his classes,
including the newspaper and online
news production class that supports
the San Matean, a student newspa-
per published since
1928.
The only class left for
Remitz to teach now is
the mass media survey
class, he told the Daily
Journal.
Weve had enrollment
problems. Our numbers
are terrible, Remitz said.

WASHINGTON The recession
that ended three years ago this sum-
mer has been followed by the fee-
blest economic recovery since the
Great Depression.
Since World War II, 10 U.S. reces-
sions have been followed by a
recovery that lasted at least three
years. An Associated Press analysis
shows that by just about any meas-
ure, the one that began in June 2009
is the weakest.

Jack Hickey is running for a seat
on a board he already serves on to
highlight his quest to dissolve the
Sequoia Healthcare District, a deci-
sion that is not sitting well with his
opponents because of the trouble
and cost.
His colleagues
are calling the
taxpayer advo-
cate malicious
for forcing the
district to pony
up $160,000 to
participate in
this Novembers
county election.
He is running in the middle of his
four-year term to try and oust one of
the two incumbents who are seeking
re-election, Kim Griffin and
Kathleen Kane, and doing so would
extend his length on the board
another two years.
Hickey is condent he will be the
top vote getter this November,
which would signify to the rest of
the board that district residents want
to dissolve the health care district,
which collects about $10 million
annually in property taxes to sup-
port health and wellness programs
in southern San Mateo County.
Hickey, 78, was rst elected to the
board in 2002 and has called for the
districts dissolution from the begin-
ning since it no longer supports
Sequoia Hospital as was the intent
when the district formed in 1946.
Hes no closer to his goal now
than he was 10 years ago, Kane
told the Daily Journal yesterday.

forced to spend on the election

Kardashian divorce
unlikely to be final this year
LOS ANGELES Kim Kardashians
divorce has engulfed her family and net-
work, literally.
Attorneys for her
estranged husband
sought detailed
records Wednesday
about her reality
shows and details of
depositions with her
mother and current
boyfriend Kanye
West to prove her
72-day marriage to NBA player Kris
Humphries was a fraud.
The legal bickering means it is unlike-
ly the couple will be granted a divorce, or
annulment, as Humphries desires, before
next year, attorneys and a judge said dur-
ing a testy hearing.
Kardashians attorney Laura Wasser
accused Humphries team of overreach-
ing in the effort that has already resulted
in $250,000 in legal fees for the model-
actress. The acrimony over the breakup
led lawyers for Humphries to recently try
to serve West with a deposition subpoena
disguised in a Nordstroms box at
Kardashians home.
Humphries attorney Marshall Waller
said the lack of cooperation from Wests
attorneys and companies that work on
Kardashians reality show were delaying
the case. He said it could take a two-
week trial if Humphries keeps pursuing
an annulment based on fraud.

Two contenders are hoping to represent the
southern part of San Mateo County on the
Board of Education both come with a
background of supporting local students.
Memo Morantes decided not to run for re-
election for the area seven seat, which
includes Las Lomitas, Menlo Park City,
Portola Valley, Ravenswood City and
Elementary school districts. Two candidates,
educational nonprot director Joe Ross and
Jo-Ann Sockolov Byrne, executive director
for the Redwood City Education Foundation,
will run in hopes of lling the seat.
The decision could be a difcult one for vot-
ers as both are parents with children attending
local schools. And both candidates are active-
ly involved with nonprots that work with
supporting local students in districts other
than the ones their children attend.
For 40-year-old Ross, a father of three from
Menlo Park, this is the second election in a
year. He unsuccessfully ran for the San Mateo
County Community College District Board in
November. The nonprot educator said the
county position would be a
chance to further the work
he does daily.
This seat represents
some of the high poverty
areas in the county. My
nonprofit is focused on
high-poverty area, said
Ross.
Since 2010, Ross has
been the executive director
of Citizen Schools, which partners with public
middle schools to extend the learning day and
engage adult volunteers to teach part time in
Redwood City, East Palo Alto and other Bay
Area communities. The organization focuses
on middle school, which Ross describes as the
best last chance to help students get on the
right track to succeed. He said there should be
more partnerships between schools and local
businesses and nonprots. The county, Ross
added, could be a leader in that effort.
Ross holds a bachelors degree in political
science from Yale University, graduated from
the U.S. Navy Ofcer Candidate School and
has a law degree from Stanford University.
Sockolov Byrne, a 50-year-old Atherton
mother of two, said she has supported educa-
tion since becoming a room mother and is
passionate about the opportunities people
have through public education. A product of
public education, Sockolov Byrne would like
to focus on advocating for those positive
opportunities even in tough budget times.
She has 20 years of experience in organiza-
tion development and human resources, man-
agement, consulting and executive positions
in the nancial services, nonprot and med-
ical device industries.
Sockolov Byrne holds bachelors and mas-
ters degrees in speech communications and a
bachelors in business, all from San Francisco
State University.
Many school ofcials will continue to serve
without any competition. The ling period for
those closed last week.
Judy Bush and Maurice Goodman, South
San Francisco Unified School District
trustees, are both unopposed. It will be a sec-
ond term for both. Three of the four seats on
the San Mateo County Board of Education up
for re-election held by Rod Hsiao, Jim
Cannon and Ted Lempert were not contest-
ed.

SAN FRANCISCO The nations largest
agribusiness and biotech companies are pour-
ing millions of dollars into California to stop
the rst-ever initiative to require special labels
on foods made with genetically modified
ingredients, a sign of their determination to
keep the measure from sparking a nationwide
movement.
So far, farming giants such as Monsanto,
Dupont Pioneer and Cargill have contributed
nearly $25 million to defeat the proposal, with
much of that cash coming in the past few days.
Its nearly 10 times the amount raised by
backers of the ballot measure who say
Californias health-conscious shoppers want
more information about the food they eat.
With nearly three months to go before the
November election, the measures opponents
appear to be following the previous blueprint
developed by major industries to defeat ballot
initiatives in the nations largest consumer
market: Raise large sums of money to swamp
the airwaves with negative advertising.

A former Rite Aid worker accused of
altering a court order so she could serve
an embezzlement sentence in San
Franciscos work program instead of San
Mateo County is headed straight to trial
for forgery after waiving her right to a
preliminary hearing.
Kamaldeep Atwal, 28, on Wednesday
opted to forgo the evidentiary hearing and
instead go directly before a jury on
charges of forgery and creating a false
record. She is also alleged to have violat-
ed her probation with the alleged new
crime.
In December, the San Jose woman was
sentenced to 60 days
jail for embezzlement
and grand theft that
previous September.
A judge denied her
request to serve the
time in San Francisco
but gave her until
June 16 to surrender
to the womens jail in
San Mateo County.
Prosecutors say
Atwal instead forged
the court order so it allowed the county
transfer and took the document to the San
Francisco jail where she was admitted
into its alternate sentencing program.
The forgery was handwritten as though
a court clerk had made the amendment,
according to District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Atwals probation ofcer and county
jail workers caught the alleged fraud
when she failed to surrender.
In the earlier case, Atwal reportedly
used the Western Union machine at the
Rite Aid store to wire $27,912 over a two-
week period to herself and friends.
If convicted, Atwal is looking at four
years and four months in prison. Even if
a judge imposes a jail term, Wagstaffe
said her alleged conduct regarding the
earlier order could be a consideration in
whether she is again offered an alterna-
tive sentence like the sheriffs work pro-
gram.
Atwal remains in custody in lieu of
$10,000 and a felony probation hold.

The Burlingame man whose friend tes-
tied he snapped and attacked his
roommate after weeks of harassment will
stand trial for murder just after the start of
the year.
Lawrence Arthur Hoffman, 65, had
pleaded not guilty to bludgeoning Joseph
Cosentino but was held to answer after a
preliminary hearing at which his friend
testied that Hoffman told him he
snapped and whacked the guy.
On Wednesday, Hoffman was sched-
uled for a pretrial conference in
November and, barring any resolution or
delay, a jury trial Jan.
22, said District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
The trial date
comes just more than
a year after the pairs
alleged fatal
encounter.
Cosentino, 70, died
Dec. 5, 2011 from
multiple blows to the
head with likely either a club or mallet.
Authorities found him face down and cov-
ered with blankets inside the apartment on
Dec. 8, 2011 after being directed there by
Hoffman. Hoffman had ed to Southern
California after speaking with Bailey, who
then alerted Burlingame police that his
friend may have killed his roommate.
Authorities traced Hoffman to a Glendale
hotel room and he guided them back to his
Garden Drive apartment and Cosentinos
body.
Hoffman had moved in with Cosentino
in August 2011 after meeting at the
CVS/pharmacy and the neighboring
American Bull Bar and Grill in
Burlingame.
During the preliminary hearing,
Hoffmans friend testied that he claimed
to have killed Cosentino after ongoing
belittling, including comments about his
wife and daughter.
Hoffman remains in custody without
bail.

Lawmaker questions AGs role in state parks probe
SACRAMENTO A lawmaker on Wednesday questioned
whether the attorney generals ofce is t to investigate the state
parks department, which is embroiled in numerous controver-
sies. During a Senate budget committee hearing, Sen. Bill
Emmerson, R-Hemet, said lawmakers should consider an out-
side investigator. His concern arose after it was revealed that
lawyers for the attorney generals ofce and parks department
were made aware of hidden money months before top ofcials
said they learned of it.
The attorney generals ofce has not said what it did with that
information. Spokeswoman Lynda Gledhill declined to give
details because the investigation continues. The governors
nance director, Ana Matosantos, said administration ofcials
acted quickly upon learning about the surplus in July.
Brown warns of deep school cuts if tax-hike fails
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown kicked off his cam-
paign for tax increases at a Sacramento high school on
Wednesday, warning that passing Proposition 30 is the only way
to avoid billions of dollars in cuts to schools and higher educa-
tion. He stressed the part of the initiative that would impose high-
er income tax rates on higher-income earners. The other part
would raise the state sales tax a broader tax increase that
would affect nearly every California consumer.
Flanked by students at a news conference outside New
Technology High School, Brown highlighted the message that
the temporary tax increases are needed to stave off deep budget
cuts that could include shortening the school year by three
weeks. About $6 billion in cuts will be triggered automatically if
voters reject the initiative.
Median home price jumps 12 percent in July
SAN DIEGO The median price of a home in California
approached a four-year high in July as buyers snapped up more
expensive properties and foreclosed houses made up a smaller
part of the sales mix, a research rm said Wednesday.
The median price for new and existing houses and condomini-
ums in the state reached $281,000 last month, up 11.5 percent
from $252,000 in July 2011, DataQuick said. It was the highest
median price since hitting $283,000 in September 2008 and the
fth straight month of annual gains, but still far below a peak of
$484,000 in early 2007.

Boulevard parking lot was pulled from
his car by two men, one with a gun, and
robbed of $41, according to the South
San Francisco Police Department.
The suspect with the gun demand the
victims wallet and the second suspect
took the wallet by force, removed the
cash and threw the wallet back in the
vehicle, according to police.
The suspects were both described as
African-American males, 19-20 years
old and weighing about 150 pounds.
One suspect was clean shaven wearing
an army-style jacket and black baseball
cap. The other was wearing a black jack-
et with a black and red baseball cap,
according to police.
Anyone with information about the
incident should call police at (650) 877-
8900.
Police: Burglar made
off with Steve Jobs wallet
The burglar who broke into Steve
Jobs house made off with the Apple Inc.
co-founders wallet with a dollar inside
and his drivers license in addition to
Apple gadgets and jewelry, according to
a police report released Tuesday.
The suspect, Kariem McFarlin, 35,
targeted the unoccupied Palo Alto home
because it was under renovation, author-
ities said. When construction crews left,
he hopped a fence and found a spare key,
according to the report.
STATE GOVERNMENT
The Assembly Appropriations
Committee decided to hold a bill
that would have closed a loophole in
the states assault weapon ban.
Senate Bill 249, authored by state
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, had earlier
been approved in the Assembly Public Safety
Committee.
SB 249 would have prohibited assault weapons with pis-
tol grips, telescoping stock or certain other features from
having devices known as bullet buttons and mag mag-
nets, which allow semi-automatic weapons to be easily
reloaded with multiple rounds of ammunition, according to
Yees office.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Mitt
Romney is portraying the outwardly
calm President Barack Obama as a
man seething with animosity and
power lust as the Republicans seek to
undermine one of the Democrats
greatest campaign strengths his
personal likability.
The presidents re-election effort,
Romney said Wednesday, is all
about division and attack and hatred.
Obama, Romney added later while
campaigning in Charlotte, is an angry
man who will do or say anything to
get elected.
Whether by calculation or not,
Obama highlighted his most genial
side as he campaigned in Iowa, jok-
ing with voters about the pleasures of
state fair junk food, and joshing with
his wife, who made a rare campaign
appearance with him.
It all boils
down to who you
are and what you
stand for,
Michelle Obama
told Iowans in
Dubuque, on the
nal leg of the
presidents three-
day bus tour of
that toss-up state.
We all know who my husband is,
dont we? And we all know what he
stands for.
With polls showing Obama with a
slight lead, Romney is focused on the
likability gap that is evident in sur-
veys that consistently show Obama
ranking higher on general favorabili-
ty questions than on handling the
economy, which until now has been
the Republicans chief focus.
Romneys approach also comes as he
and his running mate, congressional
budget writer Paul Ryan, face
increasing ques-
tions on a touchy
economic issue
for many
Americans: their
stance on
Medicare.
While some
GOP strategists
question whether
Romneys tactic
will work, they agree that he is vul-
nerable among voters who nd
Obama more personally appealing.
Romney and his allies appear bent on
persuading voters that Obama is not
what he seems.
Appearing Wednesday on CBS,
Romney said the Obama campaign is
designed to bring a sense of enmity
and jealousy and anger. The com-
ments echoed the candidates call on
Tuesday for Obama to take your
campaign of division and anger and
hate back to Chicago.
Romney seeks to undercut Obamas likability lead
Mitt Romney Barack Obama
By Tom Raum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The nger-pointing on Medicare,
the personal attacks and the over-
whelmingly negative ads now mark-
ing the presidential contest are over-
shadowing the clear No. 1 issue for
voters: jobs and the weak economy.
The economy remains President
Barack Obamas top vulnerability.
His campaign has consistently
sought to direct attention elsewhere,
while Republican challenger Mitt
Romney keeps pounding away at
Obamas economic stewardship.
But guess what? The economy is
improving steadily if modestly.
Employers added 163,000 jobs in
July, home prices and exports are
up, stocks are near this years highs
and Julys consumer spending
growth was the strongest in ve
months.
The good numbers are easing
fears of another recession, despite
continued overseas weaknesses, and
offering hope for a rebound in the
second half of the year.
Unemployment at 8.3 percent
remains too high. The new positive
data wont bring it down by much
before Election Day. But momen-
tum and direction also count in pol-
itics.

Police search for suspect
in five armed robberies
Police in Redwood City have
released a photo of a man believed
to be connected
to as many as
ve armed rob-
beries at busi-
nesses in North
Fair Oaks and
Redwood City
this month.
The most
recent robbery
took place
Tuesday night at Mi Hacienda
Taqueria, located at 985 Second
Ave., Redwood City police Sgt.

At about 8:15 p.m., a man walked
into the restaurant with a handgun
and demanded cash from the clerk at
the register, Hart said.
The employee complied, and the
robber ed on foot with an undis-
closed amount of money.
No one was injured, and two other
patrons who were in the restaurant at
the time were not robbed.
The suspect was described as a
Hispanic man with a medium build
in his 20s or 30s, standing between 5
feet 8 and 5 feet 10 inches tall.

WASHINGTON A four-star
Army general who was the rst head
of the new U.S. Africa Command is
under investigation and facing possi-
ble demotion for allegedly spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars
improperly on lavish travel, hotels
and other items, the Associated Press
has learned.
Gen. William Kip Ward has been
under investiga-
tion for about 17
months, and
D e f e n s e
Secretary Leon
Panetta is expect-
ed to make a nal
decision on the
matter before the
end of the
month, accord-
ing to several defense ofcials.
The defense ofcials said Ward is
facing numerous allegations that he
spent several hundred thousand dol-
lars allowing unauthorized people,
including family members, to y on
government planes, and spent exces-
sive amounts of money on hotel
rooms, transportation and other
expenses when he traveled as head of
Africa Command.
A four-star general is the highest
rank in the Army.
While the exact amount of alleged
misspending was not disclosed, the
estimated total raises comparisons
with the $823,000 allegedly spent by
dozens of employees of the General
Services Administration, who were
accused of lavish spending during an
October 2010 conference at a Las
Vegas resort.
Ofcials described the investiga-
tion to the Associated Press on condi-
tion of anonymity because it is a per-
sonnel matter and the report on the
investigation has not been released

Sequoia Healthcare District
Editor,
I would like to clarify one thing in
your story, Sequoia Healthcare District
incumbent running for different seat on
same board, in the Aug. 14 edition of
the Daily Journal. Stretching my tenure
on the board another two years is not
my purpose in running. Enhancing the
prospect for dissolution of the district is.
My candidacy gives voters an opportuni-
ty to express their views on the validity
of the district. The majority on the board
has denied them that opportunity.
The school districts and the cities
within the Sequoia Healthcare District
boundaries as well as San Mateo County
would all be benefactors if the district is
dissolved. They will be watching the
results of this election.
Should I score a substantial win in
November, those agencies may be
moved to initiate the dissolution process.
If not, a petitioning process would have
an excellent chance of success.

O
ur San Mateo County justice
system is headed off into an
expensive, ineffective direc-
tion. Our local justice system ofcials
resist adopting modern, evidenced-
based practices to reduce the 76 percent
of people in our jails pending trial. This
resistance to reform bloats the number
of prisoners in the San Mateo County
jails.
We devote the bulk of our expensive
jail bed space to incarcerate people who
are technically innocent, some of whom
will not be convicted at all and many
who will be convicted of a lesser crime.
Prisoners serving sentences occupy
only one-quarter of the bed space.
We are out of step with the practices
of other jurisdictions. Pretrial prisoners
make up only 53 percent of the jail in
Orange County. San Joaquin, Santa
Cruz and Sacramento counties all have
lower percentages of pretrial inmates.
In April, 54 percent of the inmates in
the Santa Cruz County Jail were pretri-
al prisoners.
The 2012 San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury has called for reform. In
2011, the county hired the independent
Pretrial Justice Institute to conduct an
assessment. Its report was widely dis-
counted and ignored.
Meanwhile, the daily cost of incar-
cerating one inmate at the Maguire
Correctional Facility is $169.92; the
daily cost of incarcerating one woman
in the Womens Correctional Center is
$227.29. Compare this with the $7-$10
per day cost of electronic monitoring in
the community.
Our pretrial practices provide but one
example of a justice system that goes to
extremes to avoid risk both political
risk and public safety risk. This theme
continues on as defendants ow
through the key case processing points
from arrest to the conclusion of their
sentences. Jail is the preferred sanction-
ing option in our county; every other
option is described
as an alternative to
jail and viewed as
less than satisfacto-
ry, as if the offender
is getting off. We
overemphasize both
the severity of sanc-
tions and length of
supervision.
We do not focus our resources on the
truly dangerous, those who can harm
us. We have an abundance of jail bed
space to lock up people we are afraid
of. But we also jail people we are upset
with, and people we dont know what
else to do with. Our jails are not viewed
as limited purpose facilities. Most
anyone can be admitted.
Sadly, there is no evidence that the
San Mateo County response makes
anyone safer. It bloats the workload of
the entire justice system and bolsters
the belief that we need more jail bed
space.
Our county justice system is not
managed at the justice system-wide
level. It works like a large plumbing
system separate pipes operated by
distinctly different, ercely independent
agencies, held together only by the
largely unmanaged workload owing
through the apparatus. This causes the
workload to seek its own level. With no
policy-level, system-wide coordina-
tion/management mechanism to turn to,
justice agency leaders believe the only
way to keep up with the growing work-
load is to seek more resources.
We are in danger of building a jail
that we will not be able to afford to
open and operate. The county leader-
ship decided to build a $155 million
new jail without going to the voters for
approval. At $40 million a year, the
cost of operating it will exceed the cost
of construction in less than four years.
Thus, it is the operating costs that
should get our attention. These will be
ongoing, every year for the next 30-40
years, and with annual increases in
salaries and benets.
We should not increase the number of
employees, or their inuence. We need
to control pension and benet costs.
The 2012 civil grand jury has sounded
the alarm: The average annual salary of
a county employee was $82,464. In
addition, San Mateo County paid out
61 cents in benets for every $1 it paid
in salary.
Our county budget crisis is exacerbat-
ed by jail expansion and justice system-
wide management practices. In
November, San Mateo County voters
will decide whether to increase the
sales tax by one-half percent. This will
raise approximately $60 million each
year for the next 10 years. This money
is to be used to avoid looming budget
cuts.
There are many areas of county gov-
ernment that are suffering; many of
these are well run. All the perceived
excesses seem to have been squeezed
out of many county operations.
This is not true of the administration
of justice. The system, as it now oper-
ates, is too resistant to change and too
self-serving. It threatens to break the
bank. This nancial drag should not be
allowed to continue, or get even worse.
The justice system-wide challenge is
to manage the workload so that San
Mateo County can operate the mens
jail at Maguire within its authorized
rated bed space limit.
Bob Cushman has provided consulting
services to police, courts and corrections
agencies throughout the United States
for more than 40 years. He is retired and
lives in Foster City.
Our justice system needs change
Feeling pumped
I
t never fails. You fight through traffic knots, simul-
taneously managing not to rear-end the guy who
doesnt understand the concept of a fast lane and
internalizing the road rage at the lady who thinks merg-
ing onto the freeway doesnt require a blinker. Or speed.
Youve blown 50 or
60 bucks, maybe 40
if youre lucky, to
fill the gas tank the
second or third time
this week and the
longer you idle the
longer you seethe.
Gas has gone up 31
cents in the last
week, according to
news reports.
Really? But gas,
those same reports
say, is actually
cheaper than this
time last year? Feels
doubtful.
At some point, as the shoulder blades tense further and
you rationalize that the ever-escalating gas costs have to
eventually level dont they? other questions come
to mind. Mainly, how can gas stations directly across the
street from one another have such drastically different
prices? That never makes sense no matter how many
times AAA offers up explanations. Being asked not to
use a cellphone at a gas station is another weird one. Are
mobile devices a catastrophe just waiting to happen?
Maybe a smartphone caused the Chevron refinery fire
that sent thousands in Richmond to the emergency room
and seemingly overnight shoved fuel prices even further
up. Dont laugh; the idea is less a paranoid conspiracy
than my personal favorite, that Chevron set the blaze pur-
posely to drive up costs.
The point is, gas pricing is a mystery that will never
get solved in the span of a daily commute.
Granted, there are those who wont be able to relate to
these musings on gas rage. These are people who live
close to work, work from home or take a Zen-like
theres nothing that can be done so why get mad?
approach to the situation. Those with the Prius or
Smartcar step aside as well as anybody whose job allows
them to bike, take public transportation or at least be
reimbursed for mileage. Want to brag about filling up a
scooter for less than $2? Ill admit entertaining the idea
of pouring sugar in your tank.
For the rest of us, every added penny to the gas station
sign is an extra nail in the coffin otherwise known as the
cost of living. Add in state proposals to tax Bay Area
drivers for each mile and court rulings that ban Safeways
3-cent gas price discount for cardholders and is there any
surprise that regular motorists are a surly bunch?
By the time you get to work or home or anywhere
requiring $16 worth of gas and precious minutes or hours
for the pleasure of arriving by car, the last thing you
want to see in the email in-box is that chain email that
without fail makes the cyber-rounds during gas spikes.
No, not the one touting a nationwide Gas Out but the
other one from those same friends and acquaintances that
regularly send out mass mailings involving animal photos
and inspirational quotes. The email that chirps (some-
times in annoyingly cheerful pastel fonts), Sure gas is
expensive but put it in perspective. A gallon of tea costs
$9.52 per gallon. Mouthwash averages $84.48 per gallon.
Fancy Evian water at $1.49 a bottle pencils out to $21.19
per gallon.
Boo hoo, the email says. Just be glad cars dont run on
cough medicine or sports drinks. Also be grateful you
dont face European prices which always run higher than
American pumps.
Well you know what? I dont want a gallon of tea. I
have no use for a gallon of cranberry juice. If I lived in
Europe I might not whine about gas because Id have bet-
ter public transportation options and possibly health costs
that wont break the bank.
Gas price increases are inevitable. So is the frustration
of drivers who admittedly will continue to pay while
whining. But can we at least cut down on any commen-
tary meant to make this cranky contingent see the glass
or gas tank, rather as half full? The unsolicited
missives only add unneeded fuel to the proverbial fire.
And, after the Chevron incident, the last thing gas prices
needed is another blaze.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Signs that the U.S.
economic recovery is advancing, albeit
slowly, sent stocks bouncing up and down
in narrow ranges for much of the day
Wednesday.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed with a loss of 7.36 points at
13,164.78. The broader Standard &
Poors 500 index was up 1.60 points at
1,405.53 and the Nasdaq composite rose
13.95 points to 3,030.93.
U.S. industrial production increased
last month as factories made more cars,
computers and airplanes, according to the
Federal Reserve.
It was a sign that manufacturing is
recovering after a weak spring. Also, con-
sumer prices were unchanged in July
from June, as a small drop in energy costs
offset slightly higher food prices. The
consumer price index hasnt changed
since March, which means that ination
is in check.
Lower inflation gives the Federal
Reserve more leeway to launch new pro-
grams intended to rekindle the economy.
The Fed signaled at a meeting in late July
that it is ready to act if growth and hiring
stays weak.
Recent reports have suggested that the
economy improved somewhat in July.
Employers created the most jobs in ve
months, while consumers spent a little
more at stores after three months of
declines.
Many investors wonder if the economy
is fragile enough to create the sense of
urgency for policy makers to act proac-
tively. The slightly better outlook for the
economy could prompt the Fed to hold
off on taking action when its policy com-
mittee next meets in September.
Were in a period of very slow growth,
though interest rates are low, and very lit-
tle ination, said David Kotok, chief
investment officer at Cumberland
Advisors. Unless the U.S. economy goes
into a swoon and there is no pick up in
retail sales and deterioration in jobs
growth or major shocks from Europe and
China, the Fed will not take any action for
now.
The bond market is betting that the Fed
is not likely to act. Investors have been
selling low-risk U.S. government bonds,
sending the yield on the benchmark 10-
year Treasury note up to 1.81 percent
Wednesday. Thats up from 1.73 percent
Tuesday and 1.66 percent late Monday.
As investors shuffled their money
around, the Russell 2000 index of small
stocks gained the most of the major
indexes, 0.9 percent. The S&P was up 0.1
percent, the Nasdaq 0.5 percent.
Stocks mostly higher

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Cisco Systems Inc.,
the worlds largest maker of computer
networking equipment, is seeing its
ambitions cramped by the global eco-
nomic turmoil, but results for its latest
quarter were strong enough that it
announced an increase to its dividend.
Ciscos sales in the latest quarter rose
just 4.4 percent from last year, as cus-
tomers in Southern Europe were in the
grips of a recession and government cus-
tomers on both sides of the Atlantic held
back. Ciscos long-term goal is for annu-
al growth of 5 percent to 7 percent.
The results announced Wednesday
beat Wall Streets muted expectations,
and Cisco raised its dividend by 75 per-
cent. The new quarterly dividend of 14
cents per share represents an annual
yield of 3.2 percent of Ciscos stock
price, a relatively high yield for a tech-
nology company.
Cisco started paying a dividend in
April 2011. The dividend and the
increase announced Wednesday reect
Ciscos transition from an enterprise
growing at Internet speed to a mature
one thats subject to the same cycles as
major industrial manufacturers. It no
longer needs to invest as much of the
cash it makes in its own business, so it
can give it to shareholders instead.
But the higher dividend doesnt neces-
sarily mean Cisco will give shareholders
more cash overall, as it has a buyback
program as well and could reduce the
pace of buybacks to free up cash for the
dividend.
Cisco said its committing to returning
to shareholders at least 50 percent of its
free cash ow, or the cash it pulls in after
expenses and capital investment.

Cheaper junk mail?
Newspapers decry U.S. Postal plan

Target raises profit outlook on solid 2Q sales
NEW YORK Target Corp. raised its full-year prot
projection Wednesday after the cheap-chic discounter
reported better-than-expected second-quarter revenue that
showed healthy spending in food, beauty, fashion and other
items.
Target, based in Minneapolis, also issued a prot outlook
for the current quarter well above analysts expectations
and cited a positive start to the back-to-school shopping
season. The companys stock hit its highest point since
2007.
Targets rosier picture joins a number of other major
retailers, including Macys Inc., TJX Cos., and Home
Depot, that have boosted outlooks as they feel more con-
dent in shoppers spending in the second half of the year.
Theyre also becoming better at luring shoppers with spe-
cial deals and other attractions.

Giants drop series finale to Nationals
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Melky Cabrera was suspended 50 games Wednesday fol-
lowing a positive test for testosterone, putting an abrupt end to what had been an
MVP-caliber regular season and throwing the San Francisco Giants playoff hopes
into doubt.
Cabrera leads the National League with 159 hits, and is second in batting average
behind Pittsburghs Andrew McCutchen. Cabreras penalty was the rst for a high-
prole player since last years NL MVP, Ryan Braun, had his suspension overturned
by an arbitrator last winter.
My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used,
Cabrera said in a statement released by the union. I accept my suspension under the
Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my
mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization
and to the fans for letting them down.
The suspension would extend into the playoffs if the Giants advance.
Cabrera is batting .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs in his rst season with San
Francisco and is ve hits shy of 1,000 in his big league career. Flashing bright orange

Freshman football: More than just a game
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is a growing trend among Peninsula
Athletic League high schools of adding fresh-
man-only teams to football programs. While
the ultimate goal is to help build the strength
and success of the varsity squad, it is really
pretty far down the goals list. Many football
coaches believe it helps rst-year student-ath-
letes to get a jump on integration and help
them adjust to one of the biggest changes in
their lives the transition to high school.
Overall, our program is in a pretty healthy
place and the freshman program is a big part
of that, said Burlingame coach John
Philipopoulos, who said about 50 kids signed
up for freshman football, with about 42 still in
the program.
The reality is, the freshmen players report-
ed June 21. Theyre showing up two
months before school starts. They can get
acclimated to the school and the kids. They
feel more comfortable on that rst day of
school. Theyve already made 40 friends.
If you play football at Burlingame High
School, were going to give you the best pos-
sible experience.
Just over a third of the 18 PAL football
teams have added a freshman team over the
last several years: Burlingame, Hillsdale,
Menlo-Atherton, Sacred Heart Prep, San
Mateo, Sequoia and Terra Nova now eld
teams made up strictly of rst-year high
school players. This is the third year

elky, Melky, Melky. You broke our
hearts. With questions surrounding
the reemergence of Buster Posey
and whether Brandon Belt would ever gure it
out, fans quickly latched on to the newest
member of the San
Francisco Giants.
And Melky Cabrera
delivered. He quickly
became a fan favorite,
set club records,
earned the All-Star
Game MVP award
and was in the discus-
sion for the National
League MVP.
All of which is now
erased, thanks to a
positive drug test for
excessive amounts of
testosterone. He is now suspended for the next
50 regular-season games which ends his
2012 campaign almost as quickly as it began.
Credit Cabrera for one thing: he owned it.

Building a successful athletic pro-
gram at the college level has as
much to do with the coaches as the
players.
Its for that reason that Notre
Dame de Namurs lacrosse team
announced Wednesday the addition
of assistant coaches Thomas Bragg
and Frank Resetarits for the 2012
season.
The good thing about these two
guys is their aspirations are to be
head coaches some day, said Argos
head coach Derick Pedrick.
Certainly, its going to help to the
program a ton. Im extremely excit-
ed.
Bragg joins the staff after spending
a season as an assistant coach at
Bowdoin College in Maine. The
Polar Bears went 14-6 this past year,
making it to the second round of the
NCAA DIII tournament. Bragg also
helped three student-athletes reach
All-American honors. Prior to
Bowdoin, Bragg completed his col-
legiate playing career at Tufts where
he was a member of the NCAA
Championship team in 2010 and run-
ner-up squad in 2011.
Resetarits, a former collegiate All-
American at the University of
Albany, joins the staff after complet-
ing a ve year professional lacrosse
career. Resetarits starred at Albany
from 2004-07, earning NCAA
Division I First Team All-American
honors in 2007. He was also named
America East Conference Player of
the Year and was the 2006 NCAA
scoring champion.
After finishing his collegiate
career, Resetarits was selected fth
overall in the 2007 National Lacrosse
League Draft and 22nd overall in the
Major League Lacrosse Draft. He
has played for three teams over the
past ve years including two seasons
with the San Jose Stealth of the NLL.
Theyre two relatively young
coaches that have coached or played
at a pretty high level if not the highest
level, Pedrick said. So theyve been
around the game. Theyve had a lot of
big game experiences and that kind of
experience is what were trying to do
here with our student-athletes. Were
trying to give them a good opportuni-
ty to compete on and off the eld.
Hopefully with their guidance, theyll
be great mentors and great assets to
the team. Our student athletes wont
have to go very far if they want
answers, a guide or a mentor.
The Argos went 1-12 last season,
including a 1-7 mark in conference
play. For the year, they were
outscored 160-72.
Bragg gained coaching experience
working clinics and camps at
Bowdoin, Tufts and College
Connections Lacrosse, among other
places. He was also the Select Team
Coach at Prime Time lacrosse for two
seasons.
Resetarits has an extensive coach-
ing background with experience at
several different levels. For the past
three seasons, he served as the assis-
tant head coach/offensive coordinator
at Eden High School in New York.
Resetarits has also coached for
Champion Lacrosse in Buffalo as
well as a Saratoga High School and
West Valley High School in the Bay
Area while a member of the Stealth.
NDNU lacrosse beefs up coaching staff

The sun is setting on another sum-
mer softball season and the girls from
the 14U San Carlos Force showed
theyll be just that for years to come.
After a ninth place finish at
Western Nationals, the Force ended
2012 with a 37-10 record including a
3-4 nish in their nal tournament
bouncing back from a 1-2 clip in pool
play and an opening, double-elimina-
tion round loss to place in the top 10.
To be honest, it was a little dis-
appointing, said Force manager
Bob Fanucchi. We came out a little
sluggish on defense. We made some
mistakes and the mistakes cost us.
We ended up playing better at the
end of the tournament.
At the beginning, we were a little
shaken up and too relaxed, said San
Carlos catcher Kelly James. Once
we lost the rst double-elimination
game, I think thats when it kicked
in and we knew we started to get
winning if we wanted to make it
into Sunday.
James was quite literally the back-
bone of the Force, catching 46 of the
47 games while providing ne offen-
sive support throughout the season.
I knew we gave it our all at the
very end, James said. We tried our
hardest. Our goal was to make it to
Western Nationals and show what
San Carlos is all about. I think toward
the end of the tournament, we
showed them.
I just like leading the team out
there and helping the pitcher out as
much as I can. Most of all, being
there for the team.
San Carlos played in eight tourna-
ments this season, winning five.
Offensively, they were lead by
Lauren Racioppi and her .500 batting
average. Jess Adair, Jenny Joyner,
Claire Casey, Brooke Bagot, Jen
Donahue, Kaitlyn Johnson, Terez
Touhey and Angelina Castillo all
added offensive re power through-
out the summer.
In the circle, Sophia Fanucchi lead
the team with a 23-3 mark. Castillo
and Joyner combined for a winning
record of 14-7.
These teams are pretty good
teams, Fanucchi said of the Western
Nationals competition. We made
more mistakes down there than we
have all summer. But overall, it was
just how we did in Nationals, in the
summer, we ended up having a fan-
tastic year.

spikes, he singled and hit a two-run
homer last month in the National
Leagues 8-0 win in the All-Star game,
earning MVP honors for the game and
securing homeeld advantage for the
World Series.
Its disappointing. Obviously, Melky
means a lot to all of us, was part of our
championship and provided some really
good moments here, Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said. Its something that
everyone has to deal with and its some-
thing baseball is trying to stay away
from and it happened.
Cabrera could still win the NL batting
title. He has 501 plate appearances, one
less than the minimum required to win a
batting championship for a player on a
team playing 162 games. However,
under 10.22(a) of the Ofcial Baseball
Rules, he would win the batting title if
an extra hitless at-bat is added to his
average and it remains higher than that
of any other qualifying player.
He will miss the nal 45 games of the
regular season and serve the remainder
of the suspension at the start of next sea-
son or during the postseason, depending
on whether the Giants make the playoffs
and how far they advance. If the Giants
wanted him to become active in the mid-
dle of a playoff series, they would have
to play a man short from the start of the
series until the suspension ends because
rosters cant be altered mid-series.
We were extremely disappointed,
the Giants said in a statement. We fully
support Major League Baseballs policy
and its efforts to eliminate performance
enhancing drugs from our game.
Cabrera became the second Giants
player to receive a drug suspension this
season. Reliever Guillermo Mota was
penalized for 100 games in May, becom-
ing just the third major league player dis-
ciplined twice for positive drug tests.
Mota is eligible to return Aug. 28, bar-
ring rainouts, and began a minor league
rehabilitation assignment Tuesday with
the Giants rookie team in Arizona.
It was not immediately known
whether Cabreras positive test occurred
before the All-Star game. The union ini-
tially led a grievance, which would
have caused the case to go before an
arbitrator, but then dropped it, a person
familiar with the process said. The per-
son spoke on condition of anonymity
because that detail was not announced.
Cabrera told CSN Bay Area on July 27
that he had been tested for performance-
enhancing drugs the previous week,
though its unknown whether the test he
referenced resulted in the positive test.
Drug-testing labs check urine for its
ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone,
which usually is 1 to 1 in adult males. If
the lab notices any abnormality, it con-
ducts an isotope ratio mass spectrometry
(IRMS) test to determine whether the
testosterone is exogenous, or came from
outside the body.

As taken down by Royals
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Will Smith
pitched seven strong innings, Chris Getz
doubled home the go-ahead run and the
Kansas City Royals defeated the
Oakland Athletics 3-2 on Wednesday
night.
Smith (4-4), a 23-year-old rookie left-
hander, limited the As to two runs and
ve hits, while striking out ve and
walking one. In winning his past two
starts, Smith has allowed four runs and
11 hits in 14 innings.
With two outs in the seventh, Eric
Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain and Getz hit con-
secutive doubles, the rst Kansas City
extra-base hits of the game. Cain, who
was in a 2-for-24 skid, doubled home
Hosmer to tie the score.
Left-handed reliever Sean Doolittle
was brought in to face Getz. After foul-
ing off ve pitches with two strikes, Getz
stroked an opposite-eld double on the
11th pitch to bring home Cain.
As starter Brandon McCarthy (6-4)
lost for the rst time since April 21,
snapping his career-best six-game win-
ning streak. McCarthy, who is 6-1 with a
2.45 ERA in his past nine starts, gave up
three runs, two earned, and seven hits in
6 2-3 innings, while walking none and
striking out four.
The Royals scored an unearned run in
the rst. Alcides Escobar, who reached
on a elders choice, stole second and
advanced to third on catcher Derek
Norris throwing error. Escobar scored
on Billy Butlers grounder to Josh
Donaldson, who threw home high and
late.
The Athletics tied it in the second.
Chris Carter led off with a double and he
stopped at third on Donaldsons single
and scored on Brandon Moss single.
Donaldson, who was recalled Tuesday
from Triple-A Sacramento, homered in
the fourth inning to give the As a 2-1
lead.
Greg Holland worked around a leadoff
single in the ninth to collect his fourth
save in ve opportunities.
Notes: Royals manager Ned Yost said,
it was sad, sorry to hear it, upon learn-
ing Giants OF Melky Cabrera.
Thursday in San Diego ahead of a weekend series with the Padres.
The umpire crew turned to instant replay to determine whether
Michael Morses hit to lead off the fth was a home run or a dou-
ble off the top of the wall in right-center. The double stood, and
Morse extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
Lincecum struck out ve and walked one but labored for most
of his brief outing. He threw 38 pitches in the rst inning when
Washington scored twice, then gave up a towering drive to right-
center by Espinosa in the third before being lifted for a pinch-hit-
ter in the fourth.
That ended Lincecums best stretch of the season he had
allowed only ve earned runs over 20 innings going into the game
and left the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner once again
searching for answers.
Strasburg, on the other hand, was quietly effective while beat-
ing the Giants for the second time in his career.
The Nationals right-hander allowed Crawfords single in the
second after opening the inning with back-to-back walks but was
otherwise strong in his rst outing at the Giants waterfront ball-
park.
He struck out Buster Posey in the third after a nine-pitch duel
with the All-Star catcher, then struck out the side in the fth.
Espinosas home run was his 13th of the season and fourth in
his past 12 games.
Tyler Clippard pitched the ninth for the Nationals, allowing a
two-out single to pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez and an unearned run
when rst baseman Adam LaRoche lost Pablo Sandovals popup
for an error that allowed Sanchez to score from second. Clippard
held on for his 25th save.

Burlingame will eld a freshman team and the
numbers have been steadily high.
Over at Hillsdale, the Knights are also
entering their third season of freshman foot-
ball and coach Mike Parodi, along with
Philipopoulos, believe its the best way to get
kids involved and to fall in love with the sport.
Coaches agree that having players in the same
situation all being rst-year high school
players pays off down the road as they
make their way through their high school
years.
I think the intriguing thing is to a lot of
kids, when theyre new to something as new
as football, they like to be with their buddies,
Parodi said. It allows the kids to get game
experience in a comfortable environment. The
freshman games are low-key but very instruc-
tional.
All freshman football teams in the San
Mateo Union High School District are all self-
funded meaning the district is not nanc-
ing the added teams. At Burlingame and
Hillsdale, the football program pays for the
new teams through fundraisers and booster
clubs.
While the hope is elding freshmen teams
will ultimately pay off in better players when
they reach the varsity level, it does not guar-
antee success. Aragon, for example, elded a
freshman team two years ago, but did not have
one last year and wont have one this season.
But coach Steve Sell doesnt believe it has
impacted the success of the varsity squad.
Can a varsity team be successful without a
freshman program? Absolutely, Sell said.
During our heyday, we didnt have one.
Where it does make a big difference, Sell
believes, is between freshman and sophomore
years. Without a freshman team, rst-year
players have to play at the frosh-soph level,
which incorporates both rst- and second-
year players. Many coaches believe there is a
big difference in the skill and physical level
between the two years.
[Having a freshman program] certainly
helps your frosh-soph team, Sell said. When
you have a team that lines up in a frosh-soph
game and they have never played, that makes
a big difference.
Its that difference coaches are hoping to
close with the implementation of a freshman
team. All three coaches interviewed said the
biggest benet is getting kids experience not
only in playing the game, but in preparation
and practicing for games. When freshmen are
placed on a frosh-soph team, the repetitions
they get in practice are limited because soph-
omores, with a year of experience already
under their belts, get a majority of the playing
time in games and practices. In this scenario,
many first-year players end up standing
around watching and not actively participat-
ing. That creates the possibility of souring
them on the game and, consequently, they
may give up.
The whole reason we do it is so we get that
many more kids eld time, Parodi said.
Said Philipopoulos: Now theyre getting
the practice reps, theyre getting the game
reps. They feel good about the game, good
about the program.
Hopefully, [forming a freshman team]
increases numbers. We do our best to make
sure we dont cut anybody. We want to
increase the overall skill level and we want to
increase or enhance the experience. We want
them to play. We want them to practice. We
want them to feel good about the game. We
want the parents to feel safe about the game.
If all those things happen, the outcome has to
be better kids, in regards to skill level and bet-
ter teams and a better program.

Felix Hernandez pitched the Seattle
Mariners rst perfect game and the 23rd in
baseball history, overpowering the Tampa Bay
Rays in a brilliant 1-0 victory Wednesday.
The 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner has
long talked of his desire to achieve pitching
perfection. He nally accomplished it against
the Rays, striking out the side twice and n-
ishing with 12 strikeouts.
It was the third perfect game in baseball this
season a rst joining gems by Chicagos
Philip Humber against the Mariners in April
and San Franciscos Matt Cain versus Houston
in June. More than half of all perfectos 12
have come in the last 25 seasons.
This also was the sixth no-hitter in the
majors this season, three of them at Safeco
Field. Humber threw his gem in Seattle, then
six Mariners pitchers combined to hold the
Los Angeles Dodgers hitless at the park on

My positive test was the result of
my use of a substance I should not
have used, he was quoted as saying
by the Associated Press from a press
release.
He didnt go the must have been
something in a supplement road so
many other cheaters use and he didnt
use the chain of command excuse
which 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun
used. Nope. At least Cabrera was a
man about it.
But can baseball in particular, and
sports in general, quit saying per-
formance-enhancing drugs are now
no longer part of their sport? Fans
arent naive. PEDs are just as preva-
lent today as they were a decade ago,
just the testing has gotten more strin-
gent.
Cabreras story was, initially, one
of redemption. How after being trad-
ed from the Yankees, his career oun-
dered until he found himself in base-
ball purgatory: Kansas City.
Miraculously, he got in shape and
had a 200-plus hit season in 2011
while hitting well over .300. Turns
out last year wasnt a uke, as he
continued to pile up numbers and hits
again this season.
Well, shame on us as Giants fans.
You know that old saying, If its too
good to be true, it probably is?
Turns out that was the case with
Cabrera. Given the Giants track
record with PED users, maybe the
Melk Men and the Melk Maids
should have held off on designing
their costumes until it was clear
Cabrera was doing all this with his
god-given talent.
Really, none of these revelations
bother me much anymore. Perhaps
Im too jaded to be wowed by athlet-
ic feats at the highest levels simply
because it seems most of them to be
enhanced anyway. Besides, I dont
care what these willing adults put into
their bodies. I like watching baseballs
hit 500 feet and linebackers with the
speed of a Lamborghini and the hit-
ting power of a Mack truck. I just
want to be entertained.
Are you not entertained?
***
While on the subject of baseball,
how much longer can Bobby
Valentine remain manager of the
Boston Red Sox? Yahoo! Sports
came out with a report Tuesday about
a division within the Red Sox club-
house between Valentine and some of
the players.
Which leads me to ask: what else did
the Boston brass expect? Did it not
do its homework? There was a reason
Valentine was all but black-balled
from Major League Baseball for the
better part of a decade: the guy just
cant get along with his players. He
wore out his welcome in Texas and
with the New York Mets. What do
you think was going to happen in
Boston?
Apparently, his act worked in
Japan, where he spent several years.
But Japanese players are taught that
the managers word is gospel. Not so
much here in the states.
Personally, I think the Red Sox are
reaping what they sowed. After
watching the 2011 season implode,
management decided general manag-
er Theo Epstein and manager Terry
Francona were the problems for-
get the fact that braintrust led the Red
Sox to not one but two titles after a
nearly century-long drought.
The Boston owners must have
thought, This ball club is so scary
good, anyone can manage it.
Turns out, theres a lot to be said
for manager-player relations. Of
course, the players have much more
to do with the fact the team is playing
under-.500 ball and are 12 1/2 games
out of rst.
But very rarely does a team get
red. It doesnt help, however, to
have a manager who is perceived as a
jackass.

justify their existence but the numbers never
materialized.
Remitz, however, has taught at CSM since
1989 and said his classes have never had 20
students enrolled in them.
In the past two years, journalism classes
were folded into the newly created Digital
Media Department at CSM with the hopes
that enrollment would increase, Remitz said.
He feels the college has not given the new
arrangement enough time to bolster enroll-
ment.
In the past four years, CSMs budget has
decreased 22 percent to $28 million.
In total, the college nixed 10 classes in the
Digital Media Department including digital
animation, web authoring and web design.
Overall, the college axed 17 classes in mul-
tiple disciplines, said Beverly Madden,
director of development and marketing at
CSM.
Other canceled classes include chemistry,
art and a career class, Madden said.
Some of the classes only had single-digit
enrollment, she said. In one class, she said,
not one student enrolled.
The schools policy, she said, is that class-
es with less than 20 students get canceled.
Remitz actually heard from a student first
that one of his classes was canceled before
he saw the email from university officials
that the other classes were canceled.
There is no further explanation. Perhaps I
will receive more information tomorrow
about the death of a newspaper that has pub-
lished since 1928, Remitz wrote in an email
to the Daily Journal Tuesday night.
He also said Dean Kevin Henson did not
return his calls for an explanation.
Since getting the news, Remitz has
received several calls of support from for-
mer students, with one who has started a
petition calling for the college to reinstate
the classes that produce the San Matean.
We are collecting signatures because we
want to show how many people truly care
about the San Matean. We are also hoping to
use it as a tool where people can comment
and share what kind of impact the San
Matean had on them. It may not get CSM to
reinstate the classes but at least it will show
how many people were impacted by the San
Matean, former editor Kayla Figard wrote
the Daily Journal in an email.
Figard is currently a student at San
Francisco State University.
The San Matean was like a second home
for Figard, she said.
For many, the San Matean is where their
passion for journalism started. For me, it
was the same. I am devastated that the San
Matean is gone. Though I graduated last
spring, I was planning on going back and
visiting the professor, Ed Remitz, who is
like a second father to me, and to mentor
students like previous editors mentored me.
It may sound silly, but I feel like I have lost
a best friend, Figard wrote in the email.
Remitz told the Daily Journal that one of
his classes, newswriting, was considered
redundant since the Digital Media
Department also offered a writing class.
Remitz wanted college officials to fold the
writing class in favor of the newswriting
class to boost its enrollment but that never
happened, he said.
Ive made recommendations but they did-
nt listen, Remitz told the Daily Journal.
Students at the San Matean have won
numerous awards in recent years including
an excellence in journalism award from the
Society of Professional Journalists for its
coverage of the San Bruno gas pipeline
explosion and fire in September 2010 that
left eight dead and destroyed 40 homes.
The president of the San Francisco
Peninsula Press Club, Marshall Wilson, has
offered to speak with college officials as to
why the classes were canceled and to offer
assistance in reviving the journalism pro-
gram or to continue journalism education at
CSM and the publication of the San Matean
as a club activity.
The College of San Mateo has run an
excellent journalism program for many
years and it is extremely unfortunate that
classes were canceled, Wilson wrote the
Daily Journal in an email.
Journalism teaches students to ask tough
questions and to dig into important issues.
Journalism also teaches students the craft of
writing, an extremely important skill in this
information age.
All public institutions are facing difficult
decisions due to budget constraints, Wilson
wrote in the email.

unemployment, which at 8.3 percent is the
highest this long after a recession ended.
Economic growth has never been weaker in a
postwar recovery. Consumer spending has
never been so slack. Only once has job growth
been slower.
More than in any other post-World War II
recovery, people who have jobs are hurting:
Their paychecks have fallen behind ination.
Many economists say the agonizing recovery
from the Great Recession, which began in
December 2007 and ended in June 2009, is the
predictable consequence of a housing bust and
a grave nancial crisis.
Credit, the fuel that powers economies, evap-
orated after Lehman Brothers collapsed in
September 2008. And a 30 percent drop in
housing prices erased trillions in home equity
and brought construction to a near-standstill.
So any recovery was destined to be a slog.
A housing collapse is very different from a
stock market bubble and crash, says Nobel
Prize-winning economist Peter Diamond of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It
affects so many people. It only corrects very
slowly.
The U.S. economy has other problems, too.
Europes troubles have undermined consumer
and business condence on both sides of the
Atlantic. And the deeply divided U.S. political
system has delivered growth-chilling uncer-
tainty.
The AP compared nine economic recoveries
since the end of World War II that lasted at least
three years. A 10th recovery that ran from 1945
to 1948 was not included because the statistics
from that period arent comprehensive,
although the available data show that hiring
was robust. There were two short-lived recov-
eries 24 months and 12 months after the
recessions of 1957-58 and 1980.
Here is a closer look at how the comeback
from the Great Recession stacks up with the
others:
FEEBLE GROWTH
Americas gross domestic product the
broadest measure of economic output grew
6.8 percent from the April-June quarter of 2009
through the same quarter this year, the slowest
in the rst three years of a postwar recovery.
GDP grew an average of 15.5 percent in the
rst three years of the eight other comebacks
analyzed.
The engines that usually drive recoveries
arent ring this time.
Investment in housing, which grew an aver-
age of nearly 34 percent this far into previous
postwar recoveries, is up just 8 percent since
the April-June quarter of 2009.
Thats because the overbuilding of the mid-
2000s left a glut of houses. Prices fell and
remain depressed. The housing market has yet
to return to anything close to full health even as
mortgage rates have plunged to record lows.
Government spending and investment at the
federal, state and local levels was 4.5 percent
lower in the second quarter than three years
earlier.
Three years into previous postwar recoveries,
government spending had risen an average 12.5
percent. In the rst three years after the 1981-
82 recession, during President Ronald
Reagans rst term, the economy got a jolt
from a 15 percent increase in government
spending and investment.
This time, state and local governments have
been slashing spending and jobs. And since
passing President Barack Obamas $862 billion
stimulus package in 2009, a divided Congress
has been reluctant to try to help the economy
with federal spending programs. Trying to con-
tain the $11.1 trillion federal debt has been a
higher priority.
Since June 2009, governments at all levels
have slashed 642,000 jobs, the only time gov-
ernment employment has fallen in the three
years after a recession. This long after the
1973-74 recession, by contrast, governments
had added more than 1 million jobs.
EXHAUSTED CONSUMERS
Consumer spending has grown just 6.5 per-
cent since the recession ended, feeblest in a
postwar recovery. In the rst three years of pre-
vious recoveries, spending rose an average of
nearly 14 percent.
Its no mystery why consumers are being fru-
gal. Many have lost access to credit, which
fueled their spending in the 2000s. Home equi-
ty has evaporated and credit cards have been
canceled. Falling home prices have slashed
home equity 49 percent, from $13.2 trillion in
2005 to $6.7 trillion early this year.
Others are spending less because theyre
paying down debt or saving more. Household
debt peaked at 126 percent of after-tax income
in mid-2007 and has fallen to 107 percent,
according to Haver Analytics. The savings rate
has risen from 1.1 percent of after-tax income
in 2005 to 4.4 percent in June. Consumers have
cut credit card debt by 14 percent to $865
billion since it peaked at over $1 trillion in
December 2007.

Dont wait until the power goes out to start
thinking, Wheres the ashlight?
Power outages are becoming a fact of life
around the country, at any time of year. Recent
years have seen a number of strong storms and
hurricanes knock out power to
suburban and rural homes
for days at a time. And
blackouts also can be
caused by accidents or short-circuits.
Heres a refresher on how to be ready:
WHAT TO HAVE
James A. Judge II, a member of the American
Red Cross Scientic Advisory Council and
executive director of Lake EMS, Inc. in Mount
Dora, Fla., recom-
mends putting
emergency supplies
into a plastic stor-
age bin and slip-
ping it
under your
bed. That
way, he
s a i d ,
youll always know where to look.
He also suggests putting emergency supplies
in an old suitcase with wheels. If you have to
evacuate, you have your kit on wheels, he
said. Think about your basic needs when outt-
ting the kit.
Food and water. Judge recommends storing
1 gallon of water per day per person and keep-
ing a two-week supply. He said water will keep
for about six months if not exposed to heat. He
also advises keeping unscented bleach on hand
in case you have to chlorinate the water.
Stock up on non-perishable, easy-to-prepare
foods for the same period of time: cans of sh,
meat, fruits, vegetables and soups, as well as
canned or boxed milk and juice. Remember to
have a hand-operated (not electric) can opener,
said Kit Selzer, a senior editor at Better Homes
and Gardens.
You might also want a food thermometer to
check the temperature of food in the refrigera-
tor to see if its safe to eat.
Flashlights and extra batteries. Check the
batteries every few months, Judge advises.
Emergency preparedness experts
advise against using candles
because of the re risk.
Medication: Put a
weeks supply of medica-
tion in your emergency kit;
you may need it if
youre evacuated.
Dont forget a rst
aid kit, as well.
Personal
papers: In case of
evacuation or dam-
age to your property,
its helpful to have copies of important
papers like birth certicates or insurance
policies with you.
Miscellaneous: Dont forget cellphone
chargers, which you can use if you nd a neigh-
bor, library, coffee shop or other spot that has
power and lets you plug in. Car chargers also
can be helpful if you have to evacuate. Keep
some cash on hand; ATMs need power, too, and
you wont be able to withdraw funds from them
if the bank also has been hit by the power out-
age. And to keep up with whats going on, Judge
recommends a battery-operated radio and per-
haps a NOAA weather radio, both with batter-
ies. A multi-purpose tool also might be handy.
WHAT TO DO
Turn off and unplug appliances, computers,
televisions and other electrical equipment so
they wont be damaged by any power surges that
might occur while power is being restored.
Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer.
Generally, food in the refrigerator will stay cold
enough for four hours, while food in the freezer
will remain frozen for 48 hours in a packed
freezer or 24 hours in one thats half full. If its
in the middle of winter, consider burying food in
the snow or putting it in the car to keep it cold.
Foods like eggs, mayonnaise, leftovers and
soft cheeses are among the fastest to spoil,
Selzer says. If you have food exposed to tem-
peratures above 40 degrees or more it might not
be safe to eat, Judge said. Use your thermome-
ter to check.
Also, make sure you have gas in your car. You
wont be able to ll up if gas stations are affect-
ed by the blackout.
Increasing numbers of people fed up with
repeated power outages are purchasing genera-
tors. Generators come in all sizes and shapes,
Judge said. Some may be sufcient to run the
refrigerator, some can run multiple appliances.
But they must be used properly. A generator
should never be run inside a home, garage, crawl
space or basement, Judge said, because of the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Mid- to late-summer is prime time for
gardeners a last chance to grow a second
batch of fresh vegetables before the plant-
killing frosts arrive. Add a few protective
enclosures, such as cold frames, overhead
sheets and hoops, and the harvest can be
extended until Thanksgiving and beyond.
The goal is to have fully grown, ready-
to-pick plants that basically store them-
selves in the garden throughout the fall, so
you can pick them as you need them over a
long, sustained garden season, said Renee
Shepherd, founder of Renees Garden
Seeds in Felton, Calif.
You can plant many of the cool-weather
crops from seed if you time it properly, she
said. That means choosing fast-maturing
varieties that can develop ahead of the
average date for the first hard frost.
Row covers for plant protection can
always help extend the season when cold
weather comes early, but if you plan and
plant at the proper time, your fall harvests
still will be abundant, Shepherd said.
Think ahead though, because many
neighborhood nurseries close or have
picked-over inventories after the rush for
spring supplies has ended.
Some of the specialty garden centers
and nurseries bring in extra plants for the
fall, but you may have to purchase from
another source and that takes some plan-
ning, said David Hillock, an extension
consumer horticulturist with Oklahoma
State University.
Before planting a second crop, turn the
soil and refresh it. Fertilize to restore nutri-
ents lost to the spring varieties.
And be sure to water. The ground is hot
in August, and new plants must get plenty
of water, especially while getting started.
Anything you can do to help conserve
soil moisture should be done, said Rosie
Lerner, a consumer horticulturist with
Purdue University Cooperative Extension.
Organic mulches cool the soil and
decrease the need for moisture, a big plus
when starting over in the summertime.
There may be some overlap between
spring and fall gardens. Some beans and
tomatoes might remain, perhaps things
that will ripen in cooler weather, Hillock
said. But the typical fall garden crops tend
to be more frost-tolerant.
Tender plants that usually stop growing
or die after being nipped by frost include
celery, eggplant, lima beans, cucumbers
and summer squash.
Second-season crops capable of shrug-
ging off several fall frosts especially if
covered by inexpensive plastic tents and
warmed with light bulbs include broc-
coli, cabbage, lettuce, kale, spinach and
turnips.
Here in Oklahoma, we have people har-
vesting tomatoes well into December if
they have them covered, Hillock said.
And dont forget herbs. Thyme is the
hardiest, along with sage, parsley and
oregano.
There are other advantages to gardening
in autumn: Fewer pests and insects are
around, Hillock said. Temperatures are
cooler with the fall rains. Disease isnt as
frequent as it is with the springtime plants
but you do have to keep an eye out.
Late-summer veggies can fill gardens vacant spots
Before planting a second crop, turn the soil and refresh it. Fertilize to restore nutrients lost to
the spring varieties.

People are drawn to a re, whether theyre
roasting marshmallows around a campre
during the summer or cuddling up near the
replace in the dead of winter.
And just as you take precautions outdoors,
there are things you should do to make sure
your replaces and chimneys are safe.
Fires built in replaces or wood stoves
leave a gummy residue, called creosote, that
can stick to the lining of your chimney.
Creosote created by soot, smoke, gases and
other particles is ammable, and can be the
source of a dangerous chimney re.
Between 2005 and 2008, an average 26,900
res annually were blamed on replaces,
chimneys or chimney connectors, according
to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Experts recommend that chimneys be
inspected every year by a certied chimney
sweep and cleaned if necessary. The cost can
range from $100 to $300 or higher.
Cleaning a chimney is not a do-it-yourself
project, says Kit Selzer, a senior editor at
Better Homes and Gardens. Its a dirty job,
and it also can be risky, especially if you have
to climb onto the roof.
Chimney sweeps are trained to determine
whether chimneys are structurally sound and
whether they need to be cleaned, said Ashley
Eldridge, education director for the Chimney
Safety Institute of America. They also will
make sure the chimney is up to code, espe-
cially important in older houses.
Selzer recommends that homeowners use
the institutes website, www.csia.org , to
select a certied chimney sweep. To become
certied, a sweep must pass two tests: one on
the inspection process and tools, and the other
on the international residential code, as it
applies to chimneys, Eldridge said.
Each job is different, said Christina El-
Hage, a certied sweep with Pride Clean
Chimney Sweeps in Bethesda, Md., but there
are some basics.
Were looking to make sure the ue is fully
safe, she said. Were making sure there are
no third-degree burns of creosote on the lin-
ing.
Chimney sweeps also check to see if there
are any birds or animals in the chimney, or
anything that would block the ow of smoke.
They also check that theres no water coming
in.
Cleaning the chimney involves removing
creosote.
When thinking of chimneys, El-Hage says,
many people focus on the one attached to the
replace. Yes, they can catch on re, but
were not dealing with a deadly gas, carbon
monoxide, she says, as is the case with chim-
neys leading from furnaces. Whether they
burn oil or gas, furnaces vent carbon monox-
ide outside into the atmosphere, and those
chimneys, too, need to be inspected.
Its the No. 1 reason why we are in busi-
ness, El-Hage said. You can choose to use a
replace, she said, but you have to use your
heat.
There are steps you can take at home to
reduce creosote buildup and the risk of a
chimney re.
Foremost is picking dry wood to burn,
Eldridge said. To determine whether wood is
sufciently dry, take two pieces and bang
them together. You get almost a ring as an
indication its ready. If not, its a dull thud, he
said.
Dry wood also will appear gray on the sur-
face and have cracks on the end.
Dont throw pizza boxes or other trash in
the replace, El-Hage said, because it causes
a thicker smoke, which lowers the tempera-
ture in the chimney. The hotter the re, the
better the burn, she said.
While many people use a newspaper to start
a re, she recommends a re log or re starter
instead.
And to reduce the risk of a spark ying out
of the replace, use a screen and stay in the
room while the re is burning. The last thing
you want to do is build a big old re and leave
the room, Eldridge said.
Also needed: a smoke detector, carbon
monoxide detector and re extinguisher.
Chimney care: Call a sweep annually for inspection
Fires built in replaces or wood stoves leave a gummy residue, called creosote, that can stick to the lining of your chimney. Creosote

their hometown with such a vision in the form
of their nascent nonprot Common Brights.
On Sunday, July 29, Common Brights held
a fundraising event at San Mateos Beresford
Recreation Center that included live music,
art, a silent auction and samples of herbal teas.
People from various cities attended and volun-
teered their time and art in support of the cen-
ter.
This is only the beginning. Around
$250,000 is needed to cover city permits and
six months of operational costs, including the
lease at a potential 8,000-square-foot space on
Fourth Avenue, said James Seevers.
And support is growing even at this early
stage.
San Mateo Deputy Mayor David Lim has
taken an interest. Residents have approached
Lim expressing an interest in, different types
of cultural experiences to enhance our down-
town, Lim said.
With well-established restaurants and retail,
Lim said residents would like a place to view
art and music in their evenings out. Lim plans
on attending the upcoming fundraiser in sup-
port of the nonprot and encourages others to
attend.
Jessica Evans, executive director of the
Downtown San Mateo Business Association,
is also on board.
It would be wonderful to have a center to
support the arts in the downtown area, said
Evans.
Pragmatically, the center could be a nan-
cial benet to San Mateo. Those looking for a
night out could stay locally and support their
community instead of traveling to a larger city
such as San Francisco, said James Seevers.
However, Common Brights is not a com-
mercial venture, its goal is to provide a safe,
respectful space for anyone that walks in the
door, said James Seevers. With no interest in
serving alcohol, every show, event and work-
shop will be open to all ages. The funds raised
during events will go directly toward sustain-
ing the center.
Common Brights will be accessible
throughout the week with designated gallery
space for artists of all ages to exhibit their
work, a tea bar and a small library of various
books, said James Seevers. Weekends will
house theater and dance performances, music
shows and gallery openings. Onsite and out-
reach workshops will offer unique classes
unavailable at alternate institutions, said
James Seevers.
Local artists and musicians are on board.
The Carlozzi Duo, a jazz band comprised of
Nick Carlozzi, 23, and his father performed at
the recent fundraiser. A longtime friend of the
Seevers family, Carlozzi is thrilled by the
idea of having a place where music and art
will be supported in a safe and welcoming
environment. Painter Tod Lanem, 29, thinks
the center would be great for any city.
James and his brothers are perfect to run
something like that, Lanem said.
The Seevers lives have revolved around
music and the arts. Charles Seevers studied
photography, silkscreen, collage and wood-
working, and plays the bass guitar. James
Seevers plays the guitar, keyboard and com-
poses classical music. Ben Seevers sings and
plays the keyboard. James and Ben Seevers
received bachelors degrees of ne art from
the California College of the Arts in Oakland
where they rened their painting and drawing
skills alongside curating art and music shows,
said James Seevers.
The Seevers brothers, having worked at
their fathers general contracting business,
gained management and accounting experi-
ence. In fact, the name Common Brights
comes from a reference to a nail used in car-
pentry, said Ben Seevers. But in spring 2007,
due to the decline in the housing market,
James and Charles Seevers were cut from the
payroll to sustain their family business, said
James Seevers.
The brothers decided they were stronger
together than [they] are apart, said James
Seevers.
The Common Brights center hopes to
inspire people to make their own art by gath-
ering around meaningful cultural experiences,
said Ben Seevers. Its about bringing differ-
ent people together of all ages, who have vary-
ing interests that would not ordinarily cross
paths, said Charles Seevers, [who] would
hopefully recognize that were all part of the
same community.
Common Brights encourages the public to
join them at their upcoming fundraisers. The
Summer Art Show Closing Reception is today
at the San Mateo Main Library, Laurel Room,
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. There will be a
silent auction and an exhibition of two-dimen-
sional works. The Classical Benefit
Fundraiser is Sunday, Sept. 9 at the Beresford
Recreation Center from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Local
classical musicians will perform alongside an
exhibition of new works from artists out of San
Francisco, Oakland and San Mateo.

dents in need of health care services, she
said.
Hes a tax waster, Kane said.
His antics on the board are often embar-
rassing, said Kane, who is seeking a third
term on the board.
Griffin, the boards chair, called Hickeys
tactics malicious and said taxpayers
should not have to foot the bill for the elec-
tion.
While Hickey can be a distraction on the
board, Griffin does not waver in the support
she said the district gives residents in need
of critical health care services.
Hickey told the Daily Journal he would
like to retire in a couple of years but wants
the district dissolved before he does.
I hope he does retire, Griffin said. But
not at the expense of the district.
If Hickey does win one of the two seats,
the board could simply appoint a new mem-
ber to Hickeys vacant seat as it has done a
few times in the past, Kane said.
It could also vote to hold a special election
if Hickey wins one of the two incumbents
seats in November.
It is very likely that the board will be com-
prised of the same five members next year,
with Hickey controlling the four-year seat if
he wins and the ousted incumbent being
appointed to Hickeys current seat, with two
years remaining on the board.
If Hickey loses, he will still hold his cur-
rent seat, which expires in 2014.
This is not a vote for Jack Hickey, this is
a vote for dissolution. My supporters know
what I stand for, Hickey said.
In 2008, Hickey attempted to run for an
open seat mid-term as well with Griffin,
Kane and Malcolm McNaughton on the bal-
lot.
He lost, however, and served out the
remainder of his term.
Spending the $160,000 to hold the election
is a justified expense, he said, since voters
have never had a chance to validate the dis-
trict.
Hickey ran a slate of candidates that
included Frederick Graham and Michael
Stogner in 2010 to try to take control of the
board. While Hickey won his seat, Graham
and Stogner failed miserably at the polls.
Hickey uses a 2002 San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury report to support his call
for dissolution.
The civil grand jury reported that the dis-
tricts continued receipt of property taxes is
inappropriate considering the district no
longer owns Sequoia Hospital.
District taxpayers should be made aware
that the 1946 measure authorizing the tax
assessment was for the construction, mainte-
nance and operation of a hospital but that the
district no longer owns, maintains or oper-
ates a hospital, according to the 2002 civil
grand jury report.
The district, formerly the Sequoia Hospital
District, sold Sequoia Hospital to Catholic
Healthcare West in 1996. It started support-
ing nonprofits and county programs after
that with the property tax it collects.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
William Dwight Nesbit
Case Number 122569
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: William Dwight Nesbit,
aka Bill Nesbit. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Marguerite Nesbit in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Marguerite Nesbit be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
203 Public Notices
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 31, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
