An accounting error by the
countys garbage service provider
may mean that San Carlos cus-
tomers wont see an otherwise
expected rate increase come 2014.
Recology overcharged San
Carlos customers more than
$750,000 by collecting money to
close out the former contract with
Allied Waste even though those
charges were supposed to end in
2011. The charges were applied to
the 2012 and 2013 rates, resulting
in roughly 18 months of erro-
neous collection that wasnt iden-
tied until recently by San Carlos
Assistant City Manager Brian
Moura and Marshall Moran, the
finance manager of the South
Bayside Waste Management
Authority.
The silver lining is that it
keeps future rate increases down
although personally Id call that
more like a brass lining, said
Vice Mayor Mark Olbert.
Olbert said the error is an exam-
ple of why the SBWMA needs to
provide more rather than less
oversight of its garbage provider
a current point of debate as the
authoritys 12 member cities
decide whether to move from
appointed boardmembers to elect-
ed ofcials.
I perfectly understand people
being upset about [the error] and
Im upset about it, too, Olbert
said. We really need to have a bet-
ter system for confirming that
when you send information about
what they are supposed to collect
that they actually get it, Olbert
said.
Moura said he sent Recology a
rate letter telling it the money
owed for Allied had been paid but
somehow that information was
either not received or processed,
leading to the continued billing.
After removing its payments,
Recology then sent the remainder
to San Carlos for items such as
street sweeping fees. A spread-
sheet of the funds raised a red ag.
I got to the line item that said
2012 Allied Waste remittance to
city and said what is this?
Moura said.
The fact that the collection con-
Garbage customers overbilled
Error might mean no rate increase in San Carlos next year

Pacificas homeless count has
increased by a staggering 900 per-
cent. According to a new report
from the Pacica Resource Center,
the number of homeless people
counted in Pacica has risen from
just seven individuals in 2007, to
150 in 2013. However, the
reports authors have not dropped
this bombshell without offering
solutions.
The report was co-written by
Anita Rees, Pacifica Resource
Center executive director, and
Sheila Katz, Sonoma State
University sociology professor.
They believe its possible to nd
housing for all 150 homeless indi-
viduals over the next few years. In
the short term, they advocate the
creation of rotating warming cen-
ters which would be hosted by
local churches to keep homeless
people warm and dry this winter.
Theyre also calling for the cre-
ation of the Pacifica Homeless
Response Team, a task force of cit-
izens and public servants, which
would work to nd new solutions
to the problem.
The most common myth about
homeless Pacicans is that there
arent any, Rees said, because the
towns hidden homeless work hard
to stay hidden.
In general, folks who are home-
less try to stay under the radar as
much as possible, she said.
Pacicas most visible homeless
person is a man named Danny,
who declined to give his last
name. Hes a xture next to the
Quik Stop on Crespi Drive, where
passing motorists are accustomed
to seeing him every day. When

The company San Mateo staff
picked to remove unsightly graf-
ti on city-owned property will
have to wait a few more weeks to
nd out if it got the job as a couple
of past incidents have caused the
council to take a closer look at the
Grafti Protective Coatings, Inc.,
based in Hayward.
Aformer GPC worker in Burbank
got the company in hot water last
year after police learned he was
spray painting grafti in the city
and then charging to remove it.
The company also faced allega-
tions last year that it was over-
billing the city of San Jose to
remove grafti based on a contract
that pays the company for abate-
ment based on square footage.
Last week, San Mateo Mayor
David Lim requested the item be
moved to a later date for a vote
after the council has a chance to
look at the companys past and the
other competitive bidders.
The city spends about $150,000
a year now for removal but GPC
has offered to do the job for
$96,000 a year.
Lim found out about the Burbank
incident on his own prior to the
scheduled council vote on the item
but learned about the allegations
in San Jose after the vote was
delayed.
He sent staff a series of ques-
tions to be answered by the July
15 council meeting related to GPC
and the San Jose allegations.
Lims questions were:
Did staff know of the concerns
raised by the San Jose City
Council looks closer at graffiti company

Woman whose arrest
triggered 1965 Watts riot dies
LOS ANGELES The woman who
intervened when an ofcer pulled over
one of her sons, leading to a racially-
charged scufe that set off the 1965
Watts riot, has died.
Rena Price died of natural causes
June 10 in Los Angeles, her son
Wendell Price told the Los Angeles
Times. She was 97.
On August 11, 1965 Price rushed
from her home in South Los Angeles
to a nearby trafc stop where a white
California Highway Patrol ofcer had
pulled over her son Marquette Frye.
Accounts vary on what set off the scuf-
e, but a patrolman hit Frye on the head
with a baton, his mother jumped on
another ofcer, tearing his shirt, then
another ofcer pulled out a shotgun.
A growing crowd witnessed police
arrest Price, Frye and his brother
Ronald, who was a passenger in the
car. After rumors spread that police had
roughed up a black woman, angry
mobs formed and six days of rioting
raged across the city. Thirty-four peo-
ple were killed, more than 1,000
injured and hundreds of buildings were
damaged or destroyed.
The riot exposed deep fractures
between blacks and an overwhelming-
ly white law enforcement community.
After the Fryes names appeared in
news accounts about the riots incep-
tion, most of the family began using
the last name Price,
which belonged to
the father of one of
her children, her
son Wendell told the
Times.
Marquette was
arrested dozens of
times after the riots
and died of pneumo-
nia in 1986, when
he was 41. Price also struggled,
telling the Times decades later that
nobody would hire her after the arrest.
She was found guilty of interfering
with police ofcers a misdemeanor
and was given a 30-day jail term
which was later reduced to two years
probation. In 1966 an appeals panel
reversed her conviction, citing preju-
dicial remarks the prosecution had
made to the jury blaming Price and her
sons for causing the deadly riots.
As time passed, Price eventually
found work and moved past the events
of 1965, especially after they were
eclipsed by the more destructive 1992
riots.
What was the name of that King
guy? Rodney? You hear more about
that than the 65 riots, she told the
Times in 2005. Oh, its been years.
Im through with it.
Last indoor roller rink
to close in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES The last indoor
roller skating rink in central Los
Angeles will close Sunday after enter-
taining customers for the past three
decades.
World on Wheels opened on
Halloween 1981 and attracted a legion
of skaters, both young and old, by
bringing in entertainers. The pioneer-
ing hip-hop duo, LADream Team, per-
formed there in the 1980s. The
Scooby Brothers, a trio who skated in
the 1979 lm Roller Boogie, was a
mainstay.
But AMF Bowling Centers, which
owned the rink, led for bankruptcy
protection last year. An investment
group bought the property last month
and said residents want health clubs,
restaurants or movie theaters to
replace the rink, according to the Los
Angeles Times
(http://lat.ms/133G302 ).
Many customers who frequented the
skating rink have fond memories of
the time spent there. Antwan
McDaniel, 26, recalls attending his
sisters 13th birthday party and as a
toddler he went around sliding his feet
into each guests skates.
World on Wheels feels like a dining
room, a home, your backyard, a small
church, he said.
For others the rink served as a sanc-
tuary. Nelson Bracamonte, 55, a week-
ly regular since the opening, said he
forgot about his problems when put-
ting on skates.
Its like losing a member of the
family, he said.

H
oward Avenue, Burlingame: In
1846, the last Mexican governor
of Alta, California Pio Pico
granted the land of San Mateo Rancho to
his clerk, Cayetano Arenas, because (even
then), California was cash-strapped and
the only way they could pay Arenas what
he was owed was to give him a land grant.
Arenas, in turn, sold the land for $25,000
(or about $4 an acre) to merchants W.D.M.
Howard and Henry Mellus, who had become
wealthy selling supplies to Gold Rushers.
Howard then bought Mellus share of the
land and created one of the first great
estates on the Peninsula. He found it nec-
essary to evict the last remaining Indians
from the Rancho. On Sept. 18, 1855, the
claim for Rancho San Mateo was con-
firmed.
Ludeman Lane in Millbrae was named for
the first flower growers to live and grow
flowers/vegetables on the land in this
area. Johann and his wife moved to the
Millbrae area in 1880 and bought 72 acres
from the Maria Sanchez (related to Jose
Antonio Sanchez, grantee of Rancho Buri
Buri) on what is now the Green Hills
Country Club. The children walked to
Chadbourne Avenue and El Camino Real to
the first one-room schoolhouse in the
area. This land was sold in 1915 and the
family moved to San Mateo. The Green
Hills Country Club was later formed from
the Union Golf Club that was developed in
the 1920s.
Lux Avenue, South San Francisco:
Charles Lux, a tall, distinguished-looking
gentleman of Germanic origin, was born in
Alsace, France, in 1823, and immigrated to
the United States at the age of 16. He
worked as a butchers helper for $6 per
month on the East Coast before succumb-
ing to the lure of a better life in San
Francisco in 1849. Hungry for success, a
year after his arrival he went into business
for himself buying and selling wholesale
meat and operating a butcher shop on
Kearny Street near Sacramento Street.
Charles Lux offered Miller a partnership to
purchase and sell cattle and meat for the
San Francisco market. Lux had just pur-
chased 1,500 acres of land south of San
Bruno Mountain (in South San Francisco)
to be used to fatten his cattle up after the
long drive from ranches to the south. Lux
felt that Millers expertise at purchasing
cattle would be a good match for Luxs
skill in the marketing and butchering part
of the business. The two struck a deal that
was to make them both rich.
Mills Avenue, San Bruno: Born in New
York state, Darius Ogden Mills recognized
opportunity when he saw it, and he saw it
in the California Gold Rush. In 1849, all
of the newspapers on the East Coast were
shouting about the Gold Rush in California
and he wanted to be a part of it.
Mills first purchased most of Jos de la
Cruzs original inheritance of the Rancho
Buri Buri. Later, he and his brother-in-law
Ansel Ives Easton acquired almost all the
land north of the present day Millwood
Drive (by Capuchino High School) in
Millbrae to Sneath Lane in San Bruno,
west from El Camino Real to Skyline
Boulevard. He also obtained much of the
marshland east of El Camino Real, includ-
ing the land on which San Francisco
International Airport (originally Mills
Field) presently stands. Mills acreage did
not lie fallow; he and San Bruno partner
Alfred Green developed a dairy on part of
this land, across from the present Mills-
Peninsula Medical Center. Green built his
home in the area and ran the dairy opera-
tion for Mills.
Following his move to Millbrae, Mills
continued his financial career. He was pres-
ident of the Bank of California until 1867,
returning in 1878 following his succes-
sors nearly disastrous tenure. In 1868,
Mills became a regent and treasurer of the
University of California, positions he
maintained until 1880. He moved back to
New York in 1890, but returned to his
Happy House in Millbrae in the winter.
He died in residence in Millbrae Jan. 3,
1910.

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
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

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Emma Right is always making up stories.
When the neighbor kids would ask, shed
oblige with various tales. Later in life,
when her five young children missed their
father who was traveling for work, she
again found a reason to share her skill.
Telling stories to her children was the
inspiration this local mom needed to write
her first book, Keeper of Reign, which is
now available on Amazon.
I started this first book six years ago. It
really started because my kids were miss-
ing their dad. And I made up a story, she
said.
The kids always enjoyed the tales but
wanted to know what happened next. After
a while, Right decided to turn the adventure
into a true story. It was six-year learning
process for Right, who is old enough to
realize shed rather not share her age.
Right grew up in Asia and came to the
Peninsula to take classes at Caada
College. It was on a blind date that she met
her husband, Guy.
Right commented that sometimes friends
know you better and can choose a better
match. The pair now has five children, who
Right homeschools. Four of the five are
still in classes at home while the oldest is
in college. With children ranging from 9
to college age, Right is still plenty busy
with the daily duties of being a mother.
When she has spare time, she worked on
her book.
Its her children who inspired the story,
which has changed dramatically over the
years. At first the idea was for it to mirror
the makeup of her family five children
with the father away. The story took differ-
ent twists and turns from there, tragedy
would strike, there would be struggle. But
it was a learning experience for Right.
I really dont know how to write a story.
Took a couple years, read a lot of books
from Writers Digest, said Right, who
needed to learn the basics.
She took the lessons seriously and soon
realized a story with five main characters
would be quite tricky. So she focused on
one.
Rights book follows a classic structure.
Like any mom, she wanted the story to be
interesting. She uses the story full of mon-
sters, mythical creatures, danger and
action as a backdrop for life lessons and
self-empowerment.
The book follows a people called the
Elfies, who have been cursed to remain an
inch in size until they can find a way to
reverse their misfortune. Leading them in a
quest is 16-year-old Jules Blaze and his
four siblings, who journey into the land of
their enemy, Gehzurolle, to find a way to
undo the curse. Throughout the story, the
siblings learn about the power of family,
friendship and difficulties that allow you
to grow.
Right enjoyed the process of creating
her first book, one she hopes fosters a bit
of thought by the young readers for whom
its intended. Its been a process thats
enabled her to really write more. The story
of the Elfies isnt finished. Right sees it as
the first in a series. Shes hoping the sec-
ond book will be released in six or seven
months. On the side, shes started writing
a different type of book. Something more
like candy, as she said, sweet and fun.
Right plans to do what she can to reach
out locally and encourage children to read
something she said all parents struggle
to encourage.

Pelosis defense of
NSA surveillance
draws boos in SJ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi has disappointed some of her
liberal base with her defense of the Obama
administrations classied surveillance of
U.S. residents phone and Internet records.
Some of the activists attending the annu-
al Netroots Nation political conference
Saturday booed and interrupted the San
Francisco Democrat when she commented
on the surveillance programs carried out by
the National Security Agency and revealed
by a former contactor, Edward SnowdeN.
The boos came when Pelosi said that
Snowden had violated the law and that the
government needed to strike a balance
between security and privacy.
As she was attempting to argue that
Obamas approach to citizen surveillance
was an improvement over the policies under
President George W. Bush, an activist, iden-
tied by the Mercury News as Mac Perkel of
Gilroy, stood up and tried loudly to question
her, prompting security guards to escort
him out of the convention hall.
Leave him alone! audience members
shouted. Others yelled Secrets and lies!,
No secret courts! and Protect the First
Amendment!, according to the Mercury
News.
Perkel told the newspaper that he thinks
Pelosi does not fully understand what the
NSAis up to.
Several others in the audience walked out
in support of Perkel.
Were listening to our progressive lead-
ers who are supposed to be on our side of the
team saying its OK for us to get targeted
for online surveillance, said Jana Thrift of
Eugene, Ore. Its crazy. I dont know who
Nancy Pelosi really is.
Gas prices down 4 cents

states, Tucson, Ariz., has the nations low-
est average price for gas at $3.24. Chicago
has the highest at $4.23.
In California, the lowest average price

STATE
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The waiting is
almost over.
Sometime in the next week or so,
the Supreme Court will announce
the outcomes in cases on
Californias Proposition 8 ban on
same-sex marriage and the federal
Defense of Marriage Act.
The federal law, known by the
shorthand DOMA, denes marriage
as the union of a man and a woman
and therefore keeps legally married
gay Americans from collecting a
range of federal benets that gener-
ally are available to married people.
The justices have a lengthy menu
of options from which to choose.
They might come out with rulings
that are simple, clear and dramatic.
Or they might opt for something
narrow and legalistic.
The court could strike down
dozens of state laws that limit mar-
riage to heterosexual couples, but it
also could uphold gay marriage bans
or say nothing meaningful about
the issue at all.
Alook at potential outcomes for
the Proposition 8 case and then for
the case about DOMA:
Q. What if the Supreme Court
upholds Proposition 8?
A. This would leave gay
Californians without the right to
marry in the state and would tell the
roughly three dozen states that do
not allow same-sex marriages that
there is no constitutional problem
in limiting marriage to a man and a
woman.
Such an outcome probably would
trigger a political campaign in
California to repeal Proposition 8
through a ballot measure, which
opinion polls suggest would suc-
ceed, and could give impetus to sim-
ilar voter or legislative efforts in
other states. Proposition 8 itself
was adopted by voters in 2008, but
there has been a marked shift in
Americans attitudes about same-
sex marriage in the past ve years.
Q. What if the court strikes down
Proposition 8?
A. A ruling in favor of the two
same-sex couples who sued to
invalidate the gay marriage ban
could produce one of three possibil-
ities. The broadest would apply
across the country, in effect invali-
dating constitutional provisions or
statutes against gay marriage
everywhere.
Or a majority of the justices could
agree on a middle option that
applies only to California as well
as Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois,
Nevada, New Jersey and Oregon.
Those states already treat gay and
straight couples the same in almost
every respect through civil unions
or domestic partnerships. The only
difference is that gay couples there
are not allowed to marry.
Q. Are there other potential out-
comes?
A. Yes, the court has a technical
way out of the case without deciding
anything about same-sex marriage.
The Proposition 8 challengers
argue that the private parties
defending the provision mem-
bers of the group that helped put the
ban on the ballot did not have
the right to appeal the trial judges
initial decision striking it down, or
that of the federal appeals court.
Court has range of options on gay marriage
SAN JOSE Nearly 64,000
state and local government work-
ers at public agencies in the San
Francisco Bay area had some or all
of their pension contributions
covered at taxpayer expense last
year, according to a newspaper
report aimed at calling attention
to a costly and little-known perk
of public employment.
The workers at 117 agencies big
and small had at least part of what
was supposed to be their share of
their retirement plans picked up
with $221 million in public funds.
The practice, known as a pension
pickup, is legal, but the Mercury
News says it is receiving greater
scrutiny as a way to cut spending
by governments that already are
required to pay toward their
employees pensions.
Its gotten out of whack, said
Bay Area Rapid Transit general
manager Grace Crunican, who had
$17,500 of her pension costs
assumed by taxpayers last year but
is pressing BARTs unions to elim-
inate the perk that also beneted
3,372 other BART workers. Its
called the employee share for a
reason.
Although public employees
vested in Californias pension
systems are required to have 8 to
10 percent of their gross pay
deducted and applied toward their
retirement accounts, employees
often agree to absorb the costs
during union negotiations or
while bargaining contracts with
managers as a way of boosting
workers pay.
For some of the 63,713 govern-
ment employees in the region who
had their pension contributions
covered, the effect on their pay-
checks was considerable.

WASHINGTON Huge list
prices charged by hospitals are
drawing increased attention, but a
federal law meant to limit what the
most financially vulnerable
patients can be billed doesnt seem
to be making much difference.
Aprovision in President Barack
Obamas health care overhaul says
most hospitals must charge unin-
sured patients no more than what
people with health insurance are
billed.
The goal is to protect patients
from medical bankruptcy, a prob-
lem that will not go away next year
when Obamas
law expands
coverage for
millions.
Because the
Affordable Care
Act doesnt
cover everyone,
many people
will remain
u n i n s u r e d .
Also, some who could sign up are
expected to procrastinate even
though the law requires virtually
everyone to have health insurance.
Consumer groups that lobbied
for a fair pricing provision are
disappointed. A university
researcher whos studied the issue
says the government doesnt seem
to be doing much enforcement, and
at least one state, Colorado, enact-
ed a stricter rule since the federal
statute passed.
Critics say the law has several
problems:
It applies only to nonprot
institutions, which means about
40 percent of all community hos-
pitals are exempted. By compari-
son, the Colorado law also covers
for-prot hospitals.
It lacks a clear formula for hos-
pitals to determine which unin-
sured patients qualify for nancial
aid, and how deep a discount is rea-
sonable. A California law spells
out such a formula for that states
hospitals.
More than three years after
Obama signed his law, the Internal
Revenue Service has not issued
nal rules explaining how hospi-
tals should comply with the federal
billing limits. Delay doesnt sig-
nal a high priority.
We still hear the same stories
about patients who are being sent
to (debt) collection, said Jessica
Curtis, director of the hospital
accountability project at
Community Catalyst, a Boston-
based advocacy group that led the
push for billing limitations. Its
the same behavior that we were
seeing before the passage of the
Affordable Care Act.
The Obama administration
responds that fair pricing is the
law of the land, and that hospitals
are expected to comply even if the
IRS has not nalized the rules. The
agency has begun compliance
reviews, a spokeswoman said.
The health law helps to protect
patients from hidden and high
prices and unreasonable collection
actions, said Treasury Department
spokeswoman Sabrina Siddiqui.
The American Hospital
Association says it urges members
to limit charges to the uninsured in
line with the federal law. But nei-
ther the administration nor the
industry has statistics on how
many hospitals are doing so.
Hospital bill cut promise in limbo
Zimmerman jurors begin
life in sequestration
SANFORD, Fla. The six jurors and four
alternates who will hear opening statements
Monday in George Zimmermans murder
trial are beginning their time together in a
sequestered bubble: They wont return to
their homes for weeks, contact with family
and friends will be limited, and Internet and
phone usage is restricted.
Court ofcials are keeping mum about the
details of the jury sequestration, which
began this weekend. But if past cases are any
example, the Zimmerman jurors wont be
able to tweet or blog. Theyll read only
newspapers that have been censored of any-
thing dealing with the case. They will do
almost everything together as a group. In
their hotel rooms, TVnews channels will be
inaccessible and landline telephones likely
will be removed. Deputies will keep the
jurors cellphones and give them back once a
day so they can call loved ones and friends.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys say the
sequestration is necessary to eliminate
jurors exposure to outside influences as
they consider whether the neighborhood
watch volunteer committed murder last year
when he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon
Martin.
WASHINGTON In four
months as secretary of state, John
Kerry has certainly promised great
things. Now he has to deliver.
In the Middle East, he has raised
hopes his solo diplomatic effort
can produce a historic break-
through ending six decades of
Arab-Israeli conict.
He has pledged to bring Syrian
President Bashar Assads govern-
ment to heel and to work with
Russia to end Syrias civil war.
He has suggested rolling back
U.S. missile defense in the Pacic
if China can help rid North Korea
of nuclear weapons. He has hinted
at possible one-
on-one talks
between the
U.S. and the
reclusive North
Korean leader
Kim Jong Un if
it would help.
Since succeed-
ing Hillary
R o d h a m
Clinton as Americas top diplo-
mat, Kerry has issued several as yet
undelivered and perhaps unde-
liverable pledges to allies and
rivals alike, proving a source of
concern for Obamas policy team.
It is trying to rein in Kerry some-
what, according to ofcials, which
is difcult considering Kerry has
spent almost half his tenure so far
in the air or on the road, from
where his most dissonant policy
statements have come.
The White House quickly dis-
tanced itself from both Kerrys
North Korea remarks and has now,
since President Barack Obamas
meeting with Russian President
Vladimir Putin in Northern Ireland
this past week, seen up close the
strength of Moscows resistance
to Kerrys Syria strategy.
All the ofcials interviewed for
this story spoke on condition of
anonymity because they werent
authorized to evaluate Kerrys per-
formance publicly.
Kerry battles to deliver on big ideas
MOSCOW Edward Snowden,
the former National Security
Agency contractor wanted by the
United States for revealing highly
classied surveillance programs,
flew to Russia on Sunday and
planned to head to Ecuador to seek
asylum, the South American coun-
trys foreign minister and the anti-
secrecy group WikiLeaks said.
Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino
said his government has received a
request for asylum from Snowden.
WikiLeaks, which is giving
Snowden legal assistance, said his
asylum request would be formally
processed once
he arrived in
Ecuador, the
same country
that has already
been sheltering
the anti-secrecy
groups founder
Julian Assange

DAMASCUS, Syria Suicide
bombers targeted security com-
pounds in Damascus and a car
bomb exploded in a pro-regime
district there Sunday, killing at
least eight people, the latest in a
surge of civil war violence in the
capital.
In northern Syria, a car bomb
killed 12 soldiers in Aleppo,
according to the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, which relies on a network
of activists in Syria for informa-
tion. It had no other details, and
the government did not comment.
In neighboring Lebanon, mean-
while, fierce clashes erupted
between the Lebanese military and
supporters of a hard-line Sunni
Muslim cleric, in the latest
spillover from Syria. Six
Lebanese soldiers were killed,
according to the army, which
vowed to hit back with an iron
hand.
Heavy fighting with machine
guns and rocket-propelled
grenades in Sidon caused panic in
the southern coastal city, which
until recently had been largely
spared the violence hitting other
areas. Many people who were
spending the day on the beach hur-
ried home, while others living on
high oors came down or ed to
safer areas. Gray smoke billowed
over parts of the city and residents
caught in the fire appealed for
help.
The ghting broke out in the
predominantly Sunni city after
supporters of Sheikh Ahmad al-
Assir, a virulent critic of the pow-
erful Shiite militant Hezbollah
group, opened fire on an army
checkpoint.
The military issued a statement
conrming that six soldiers died
in the shooting, including three
ofcers. It said the shooting was
unprovoked.
Syrias state-run news agency
SANA said three suicide bombers
blew themselves up while trying
to break into the Rukneddine
police station in northern
Damascus, killing ve people and
wounding several others. SANA
said three would-be suicide
bombers also tried to break into
the Criminal Security Branch in
the southern Bab Mousalla area
but were caught by security forces
before they could detonate their
explosives.
Activists confirmed the death
toll.
SANA said a car bomb exploded
in Mazzeh 86 district in the capi-
tal, killing three people, includ-
ing a 3-year-old boy. Residents of
the district are mostly Alawites,
an offshoot Shiite sect that
President Bashar Assads family
belongs to.

ISLAMABAD Islamic mili-
tants disguised as policemen killed
10 foreign climbers and a Pakistani
guide in a brazen overnight raid
against their campsite at the base of
one of the worlds tallest mountains
in northern Pakistan, ofcials said
Sunday.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed
responsibility for the attack at the
base camp of Nanga Parbat, saying
it was to avenge the death of their
deputy leader in a U.S. drone strike
last month.
The attack took place in an area
that has largely been peaceful, hun-
dreds of kilometers (miles) from the
Talibans major sanctuaries along
the Afghan border. But the militant
group, which has been waging a
bloody insurgency against the gov-
ernment for years, has shown it has
the ability to strike almost any-
where in the country.
The Taliban began their attack by
abducting two local guides to take
them to the remote base camp in
Gilgit-Baltisan, said Pakistani
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar
Ali Khan. One of the guides was
killed in the shooting, and the
other has been detained for ques-
tioning. The attackers disguised
themselves by wearing uniforms
used by the Gilgit Scounts, a para-
military force that patrols the area,
Khan said.
Around 15 gunmen attacked the
camp at around 11 p.m. Saturday,
said the Alpine Club of Pakistan,
which spoke with a local guide,
Sawal Faqir, who survived the
shooting. They began by beating
the mountaineers and taking away
any mobile and satellite phones
they could nd, as well as every-
ones money, said the club in a
statement.

South Africa: Nelson Mandela in critical condition
JOHANNESBURG Nelson Mandelas health has deteri-
orated and he is now in critical condition, the South African
government said Sunday.
The ofce of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement that
he had visited the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader at a hos-
pital Sunday evening and was informed by the medical team
that Mandelas condition had become critical in the past 24
hours.
The doctors are doing everything possible to get his con-
dition to improve and are ensuring that Madiba is well-
looked after and is comfortable. He is in good hands, Zuma
said in the statement, using Mandelas clan name.
Zuma also met Graca Machel, Mandelas wife, at the hos-
pital in Pretoria and discussed the former leaders condition,
according to the statement. Zuma was accompanied on the
visit by Cyril Ramaphosa, the deputy president of the coun-
trys ruling party, the African National Congress.

OPINION 9
San Mateo grafti
Editor,
After reading the article, San
Mateo almost goes private for graft i
removal in the June 19 edition of the
Daily Journal, I agree with Mayor
David Lim for holding off in awarding
the grafti removal contract to
Protective Coatings, Inc. I am hope-
ful our city will conduct a most thor-
ough search for the most reliable and
trustworthy contractor to help in
combating grafti in our city.
Our city for the most part has
cleaned up grafti pretty quickly, but
there are occasionally areas where the
grafti seems to remain unabated for
months. One example is the 700
block of North Amphlett Boulevard. I
personally have called the grafti hot-
line at least three times in the last
three months and the grafti to date
remains. It should not take over three
months to get this cleaned up.
Frankly, I dont care whether its
Caltrans responsibility or not. I want
our city to take the lead in getting rid
of the grafti on this soundwall and
all soundwalls that run along our city.
Its an eyesore that I am tired of
looking at every day when I drive by
and it reects poorly on our neigh-
borhood and city as well.

Basketball camp
Editor,
Im writing in regards to the recent
article by Nathan Mollat, Basketball
camp: For kids, by kids in the June
19 edition of the Daily Journal, about
youngsters in our community having
a basketball camp this summer at a
San Mateo residence.
I do not believe due diligence was
done with this article, nor do I
believe this is worthy of being the
top sports story. Not only is the
camp a for-prot endeavor (they are
charging families as much as a pro-
fessional coach would charge for a
similar camp), but I also believe there
are legal ramications about running
something like this out of a resi-
dence. The camp is being run by
two young boys but, based on the
quotes, it looks like only one of the
boys was interviewed. Were any of
the facts checked? Did the reporter
simply reprint what was presented to
him? The boys were not even on the
same basketball team, as the article
leads one to believe.
We have so many worthy communi-
ty service activities that the youth in
our city are doing for free, e.g. the
San Mateo families that are sharing
their homes with the Japanese base-
ball players visiting our city this
summer with the Toyonaka Exchange
program. I feel the Daily Journal was
duped by this fabricated submission.
This article represents agrant self-
promotion for a player who is
attempting to jump-start his high
school basketball career.

Michelle Durands column
Editor,
I want to express my thanks for
Michelle Durands column, Off the
Beat.
I live in Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam. I moved here almost four
years ago because I could no longer
afford the rents in Palo Alto. Up to
that time, I was an avid reader of Ms.
Durands column, which I picked up,
along with the rest of the paper, on
California Avenue.
When I got here, I think I tried to
nd her column online, but wasnt
able to. In any case, on a recent 10-
day visit, I found your paper, again
on California Avenue, including her
column. Unfortunately, on one of the
days I thought her column was sup-
posed to appear, I think June 14, I
didnt nd it, so I called to complain.
Now that Im back here in HCMC, I
see that I can read Off the Beat online,
and Im very glad to be able to do so.
She is a brilliant columnist and you are
lucky to have her on your payroll.
I like your paper overall, too, even
though it deals with San Mateo
County rather than the Palo Alto area.
The two Palo Alto papers, the Daily
Post and the Daily News, dont really
seem like newspapers to me.

Letters to the editor
The Star-Ledger, New Jersey
T
he International Monetary
Fund is that elite group of
pinched-nosed accountants
who have been running around Europe
for the last several years forcing
countries such as Greece and Spain to
cut their spending.
These are not the guys you want to
invite to your party. They are the
ones who snap on the lights at mid-
night and start telling everyone to
gather up the beer cans and wine bot-
tles for recycling.
So it is worth noting that the IMF
is telling the United States to spend
more now, while the economy is sput-
tering, and to solve the debt problem
by cutting spending over the longer
haul, with entitlement reforms.
The global lender believes the
sequestration spending cuts that
Republicans forced on Washington
are slowing economic growth, and
making it impossible to put the army
of unemployed Americans back to
work. It notes that the decit is
shrinking fast, and suggests that
unemployment is a killer problem
that deserves more attention. Slow
growth today, in America and Europe,
is making the job of cutting debt
more difcult, because slumping
economies yield less tax revenue.
Imagine that.
The IMF predicts the United States
economy will grow at an anemic rate
of 1.9 percent next year without new
policies, nowhere near enough to
seriously cut unemployment. If the
two parties were sensible enough to
strike a grand bargain that increased
spending today in return for modest
austerity tomorrow, the rate of growth
would jump to 2.7 percent, creating
millions of jobs.
Obama is ready for a deal like that,
which is why he stepped up on Social
Security. But no reasonable deal has
traction.
So for now, millions of American
families suffer long-term unemploy-
ment, the economy slumbers, and the
Treasurys long-term plan is to bor-
row more and more money from
China. Its enough to make you want
to hand control to the pinched-nose
accountants.
Lack of debt deal keeps economy stalled
The privacy
wars
A
re you more concerned about PRISM, the govern-
ments data collection of phone calls and emails to
forestall or prevent another terrorist attack? Or are
you more concerned that Google and Amazon, to name a few,
follow you on line so they can target you for things to buy?
Are you complaining about the governments intrusion on
your privacy and your
Fourth Amendment rights
while you are advertising
your every move on
Facebook and tweeting your
opinions to whoever will
listen?
Technology is to blame
for the dilemma too much
data, too many ways to
share it and survey it and too
many using it to threaten if
not kill us on the one hand;
and on the other to make us
a captive consumer audi-
ence.
Columnist Thomas Friedman asked in the New York Times
last week whether we had forgotten about 9/11: that the
only thing we have to fear is government intrusion in our
lives, not the intrusion of those who gather in secret cells in
Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan and plot how to topple our
taller buildings or bring down U.S. airliners with bombs
planted inside underwear, tennis shoes or computer printers.
Friedman argues that if there is another 9/11 that will be end
of civil liberties and no one will question government sur-
veillance.
Friedman goes on to quote David Simon, the creator of
HBOs The Wire. You would think that the government
was listening in to the secrets of 200 million Americans
from the reaction and the hyperbole being tossed about.
They are not listening across the board, just to those arous-
ing suspicion. And it is legal, since Congress and the judi-
cial system have oversight. Still it brings back fears of Big
Brother watching your every move. Now the government has
the technology to do just that.
President Obama says he welcomes a dialogue on the issue.
Have we gone too far to protect Americans? The National
Security Administration Chief, Gen. Keith B. Alexander,
says dozens of terrorism threats have been halted by the
agencys huge database of the logs of nearly every domestic
phone call made by Americans. If we had this system in
place, he maintains, it could have averted 9/11. But not
everyone agrees. And no one seems to be following a party
line. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers
(R-Mich.) says the NSAis not listening to Americans phone
calls nor reading American emails. Just collecting them, in
case. Meanwhile Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) calls the program an
extraordinary invasion of privacy and an assault on the
Constitution. The American Civil Liberties Union agrees.
Californias senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the
Senate Intelligence Committee, has known about PRISM
since its inception and has given her stamp of approval. But
some colleagues on her side of the aisle disagree. Sen. Ron
Wyden (D-Ore.) and Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) say American
liberties have been violated. Sen. John McCain, (R-Ariz.)
pointed out that we were all complaining that we didnt have
enough information about the Boston Marathon bombers
and we needed more intelligence sharing. Now we say we
want to clamp down on how the information moves, he
said.
Comedian John Oliver, who is substituting for Jon Stewart
on The Daily Show, joked that the governments surveillance
program was Technically legal, probably useful and yet has
the potential to do great harm a bit like bath salts.

Last week, I heard the amazing tale of how Michael
Hingson, a blind business man with an ofce on the 78th
oor of one of the Twin Towers made it down safely with his
guide dog, Roselle. He describes that harrowing day through
his eyes, how he smelled the airlines jet fuel as it smacked
into the building; how the tower initially fell, then righted
itself only to fall again; how he and his co-workers were led
to safety by a policeman to avoid people who were jumping
from overhead and the falling debris; how he and Roselle ran
to escape the toxin- lled dust cloud that pursued the sur-
vivors running from the World Trade Center. It was a wake-up
call not to forget.

BUSINESS 10
By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON The stock market ral-
lied to record heights last month, home
prices have rebounded and the wealth of
American households has returned to where
it was before the Great Recession.
Thats just what Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke said he wanted
when the Fed announced a third round of
bond purchases last September.
The purchases werent just meant to push
interest rates down and make it cheaper for
businesses and consumers to borrow the
traditional aim of the Feds easy money
policies. They were also designed to pump
up stock and house prices, making
Americans feel richer and more willing to
spend a process economists call the
wealth effect.
But the wealth effect may not have had the
economic impact Bernanke hoped it would.
Sure, the Dow Jones industrial average is up
11 percent since the bond-buying policy
was announced in mid-September, despite
plummeting Wednesday and Thursday on
news that the Fed could end the purchases by
the middle of 2014. And overall household
wealth hit $70.3 trillion at the end of
March, regaining the $12.7 trillion lost in
the recession.
But Americans still arent shopping with
enough gusto to add much momentum to the
economy. Consumer spending actually fell
in April from March. And economic output
70 percent of which comes from con-
sumer spending is expected to grow at an
annual rate of just 2 percent from April
through June, down from a 2.4 percent rate
the rst three months of 2013.
Why arent the impressive increases in
wealth helping the economy bounce back
as briskly as it normally does four years
after a recession?
Economists cite several reasons. The
biggest gains arent going to the vast
majority of Americans. Many families are
still nursing big losses on the value of their
home, and the big drop in home prices from
2006 through 2011 has undermined their
condence. Moreover, their incomes have
been crimped by a weak labor market and
tax hikes that took effect in January.
The biggest gains in wealth are going to
wealthy households that tend to save a big
chunk of their incomes and spend a smaller
proportion on basics such as food and
clothing. Those guys dont spend much,
says economist Edward Wolff of New York
University.
The disparity shows up in numbers Wolff
calculated. He found that the average U.S.
households net worth rose this year to
$522,000. But the average is skewed high-
er by the vast net worth of Americas
wealthiest Bill Gates $67 billion, for
instance, according to Forbes magazine.
So Wolff looked at the net worth of the
median U.S. household those smack in
the middle, where half of households earn
more and half less. The median familys net
worth is far more modest than the average:
$61,000, Wolff estimates. That is $50,800,
or 47 percent, short of where it was in
2007.
One reason: The biggest gains have come
from the rise in nancial markets. And the
benets of the stock markets surge have
gone disproportionately to Americas
wealthiest households. Wolff calculates that
the wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. house-
holds own more than 80 percent of stocks,
even including retirement accounts such as
401 (k) plans. The recent stock market
boom has really beneted just the top,
Wolff says.
The wealth effect from gains in nancial
markets is much weaker than the effect from
gains in housing wealth: A $1 increase in
housing wealth generates about 8 cents of
consumer spending. A $1 rise in stock
wealth generates 3 cents. And a $1 rise in
bond wealth generates less than 1 cent, says
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Analytics.
Housing has a bigger bang for the buck
because it is the main source of wealth for
middle-class families, and they spend
almost all their earnings. Bonds and stocks
tend to be held by the wealthy, who spend a
smaller share of theirs.
But housing isnt helping much yet
even though home prices are bouncing back
from a devastating real estate bust. Many
Americans still havent seen the value of
their home fully recover. Nearly 1 in 5
homes are worth less than the mortgages on
it, CoreLogic reports. According to the Fed,
overall homeowners equity, worth nearly
$9.1 trillion on March 31, is still $4 tril-
lion, or 31 percent, lower than it was at the
end of 2005.
As a result, many homeowners dont feel
much wealthier than when the Fed started its
rounds of bond purchases. Many cant take
advantage of the super-low rates Bernanke
engineered to renance their mortgage and
lower their monthly payments let alone
to take cash out of their home equity to
splurge on goods the way Americans did in
the mid-2000s.
No spending surge with rising wealth
By Martha Mendoza
SAN JOSE When high
school football coach Kevin
Bella needs an intense, heart-to-
heart with a player, he goes home
and sits on his couch. Thats
because Bella, who is deaf, com-
municates with his hearing play-
ers most clearly with a new tech-
nology that brings a live sign
language interpreter to his televi-
sion screen. The player, on a
phone elsewhere, hears the inter-
preter give voice to Bellas
signs.
Its a huge improvement over
typing messages back and forth,
said Bella, a defensive coordina-
tor at Mission San Jose High
School in Fremont, Calif. This
allows me to work with hearing
players, because theres a lot in
my language that has to do with
expressions. The meaning is lost
if sign language is reduced to
written text.
Bella is among a rising number
of disabled people who are
increasingly able to find and keep
jobs, as well as engage more
broadly in their communities,
because of new technologies
specifically aimed at helping
them better communicate or com-
plete tasks.
The past few years have seen a
number of technological break-
throughs targeting disabled con-
sumers. Apple, for example, is
incorporating technologies such
as voice recognition and screen
readers, which can synthesize
text into speech, into all of their
products, rather than offering
them as add-ons.
Applications such as GoTalk
NOW and TapSpeak Sequence
allow users to combine text, pic-
tures and symbols with audio pro-
grams that put voice to thoughts
and ideas. Someone who cant
speak clearly can touch a picture
of a hand, then a book, and the
tablet will say: Please pass me
the book.
Blind people can take notes
using voice-recognition pro-
grams, and listen to emails or
read a website with screen read-
ers. People with attention deficit
disorder can use apps that remind
them to stay focused by announc-
ing appointments with lights and
sounds. And those with spinal
cord injuries share tips on forums
such as apparelyzed.com for how
to go hands-free on digital tablets
using mouth sticks like those
mounted on wheelchairs.
High-tech advances are start-
ing to help level the playing
field, opening the door for so
many people, said Therese
Willkomm of the Institute on
Disability at the University of
New Hampshire.
Kathleen Martinez, an assistant
secretary at the U.S. Department
of Labor overseeing disability
employment policy, said these
advances have translated into
higher numbers of disabled peo-
ple being able to land jobs.
High-tech gains get disabled people into workforce
Dissension and scal woes beset the Girl Scouts
Given the friction and nancial woes facing the Girl
Scouts these days, perhaps its time for a giant friendship
circle. Under that long-standing tradition, a ring of Scouts
clasp hands and give a little squeeze, accompanied by a
silent wish of good will.
Just a year after its centennial celebrations, the Girl Scouts
of the USAnds itself in a different sort of squeeze. Its inter-
connected problems include declining membership and rev-
enues, a dearth of volunteers, rifts between leadership and
grass-roots members, a pension plan with a $347 million
decit, and an uproar over efforts by many local councils to
sell venerable summer camps.
The tangle of difculties has prompted one congressman
to request an inquiry by the House Ways and Means
Committee into the pension liabilities and the sale of
camps.
Hostess: Twinkies to return to shelves July 15
NEWYORK Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for
Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.
The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious
ght with its unionized workers last year is back up and run-
ning under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans
to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves
starting July 15.
Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its
demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next
month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as
CupCakes and Donettes.
Southwest planes ying after computer glitch
CHICAGO Southwest Airlines was operating normally
Saturday afternoon after a system-wide computer failure
caused it to ground 250 ights for nearly three hours late
Friday night. Full service was restored just after 2 a.m. EDT
Saturday, but the Dallas-based airline experienced lingering
delays in the morning as it worked to clear a backlog of
ights and reposition planes and crew.

U.S. TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS: GAY WINS 200 WITH SEASON-LEADING TIME >> PAGE 15
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Just days following a pivotal
career decision, Reds minor-lea-
guer Greg Reynolds pitched the
game of his life.
June 15 was decision day for
Reynolds, who had the opportuni-
ty to hit the free-agent market
midseason due to an opt-out clause
in his contract. Opt-out clauses
have become fairly standard in
minor-league free-agent deals.
Such a clause
gives a jour-
neyman the
ability to seek
a big-league
opportunity if
said player
isnt added to
the major
league roster
by a certain
date.
Reynolds decided to stay put
with Triple-A Louisville though,
citing the opportunity to remain
with an organization that is geared
for a postseason run. The Reds are
currently in third place in the
National League Central Division,
but only because they have the
two best teams in baseball in front
of them. The rst-place Cardinals,
the second-place Pirates, and the
Reds enter play today with the
Majors three best records, respec-
tively.
The Reds are a great organiza-
tion, Reynolds said. Im happy
to be a part of it. Theyre a great
team. Theyll be right in the play-
off hunt this year, and even look-
ing to win the division at the end
of the year. So, to have a thought
that at some point they might
need help I might be part of
something that big with such a
great organization was a big
factor in why I stayed.
Reynolds threw a gem Friday in
his rst start since the deadline,
hurling a two-hit shutout to down
Twins Triple-Aafliate Rochester,
3-0. With the win, Reynolds ups
his unbeaten record to 9-0, mark-
ing the best start in Louisville
history. It was also Reynolds rst
professional complete game in
128 career starts.
I was happy, Reynolds said.
Obviously I felt really good out
there. In the ninth inning the
crowd started getting into it a lit-
tle bit. I felt the excitement in the
stadium, and I was really glad to
Red-hot Reynolds opts to stay with Reds

SAN FRANCISCO Pablo
Sandovals missing presence in
the San Francisco Giants lineup
was prevalent throughout a rare
losing homestand.
Thats why the Giants are so
excited to get Sandovals big bat
back in the lineup for a crucial 10-
game road trip beginning Monday
in Los Angeles against the rival
Dodgers.
Weve always fed off of his
high energy, catcher Buster
Posey said. When hes swinging
the bat well he can denitely be a
game-changer.
That was missing as Sandoval
was sidelined by a left foot strain
during a 3-4 homestand that ended
with a 7-2 loss to the Miami
Marlins on Sunday.
Hunter Pences homer in the
nale was the only longball hit all
week by the Giants not count-
ing the two Sandoval hit on a
rehab assignment for Class ASan
Jose and San Francisco allowed
10 home runs, including a pair by
Justin Ruggiano on Sunday.
Sandoval will be activated from
the disabled list on Monday as he
returns to the lineup for the rst
time since getting injured June 8.
We need a lift right now, man-
ager Bruce Bochy said. Hes a big
bat, presence in the lineup.
Hopefully hell
take a little
pressure off the
other guys try-
ing to do too
much. Any time
youre missing
a guy thats hit-
ting in the heart
of the order it
does make it a
little tougher. Hopefully he will
spark this lineup.
Ruggiano started his big day
with a leadoff home run against
Matt Cain (5-4) and ended it with a
two-run shot in the ninth inning
as the Marlins won for the 10th
time in their last 11 games in San
Francisco.
Nathan Eovaldi (1-0) held the
Giants in check into the seventh
inning and Marcell Ozuna hit an
RBI double and solo homer as
Miami wrapped up its rst win-
ning road trip of the season.
The Marlins went 4-3 in Arizona
and San Francisco after taking two
of three at home against St. Louis
as they try to put a rough 16-44
start to the season in the past.
Awesome road trip, Ruggiano
said. We played some tough
teams. To come out with a winning
record, rst time this year, you can
see things turn around a little bit.
Its exciting to come to the ball-
Giants lose

SEATTLE The Oakland
Athletics arent used to seeing
anything go wrong when Grant
Balfours on the mound.
The As closer hasnt blown a
save in his last 36 chances, but he
got his rst loss in almost a year
when he gave up a three-run homer
to pinch-hitter Kendrys Morales
in the 10th inning of a 6-3 defeat
to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Balfour (0-1) came on to start
the 10th with the game tied, a situ-
ation hes not used to.
I wasnt expecting the call, I
guess, Balfour said. I guess Im
waiting for us to score to go in and
save the game. So I didnt have the
right mind frame going in
maybe.
After getting a leadoff ground-
out, Balfour struck out Mike
Zunino, only to have him reach
rst on a wild pitch. Balfour then
worked Michael Saunders to a full
count before Saunders singled and
Zunino advanced to third. Morales
then hit the rst pitch he saw deep
to right-center to end the game.
The rst pitch to Morales and
the next thing you know its three
runs, Balfour said. Its like you
struck the guy out and youve got
3-2 then base hit and its one
pitch, three runs. It happened pret-
ty quick.

As Balfour gives up HR
in 10th, gets a rare loss

SONOMA The post-race party
was a blur after Martin Truex Jr. s
rst win in 2007. The celebratory
cool-down lap, the burnouts, the
drive to Victory Lane all happened
so fast.
So he planned to savor every
minute of his next win.
He just didnt think it would take
six years.
Truex snapped a 218-race win-
less streak Sunday with an easy
victory on the road course at
Sonoma Raceway. It was only the
second win of Truexs career, but it
put Michael Waltrip Racing in
Victory Lane for the second year in
a row after Clint Bowyer won here
last season.
Overwhelmed with emotion as
he crossed the nish line, Truex
made the celebration count.
I was a freaking mess. It was
terrible, he said. I had to stop
and start doing donuts because I
couldnt think about what I was
doing. I tried to key the radio once
and I couldnt even talk. So I
thought, OK, Im going to do
some donuts and wave to the fans.
But after I stopped the rst time
and did that, I calmed down a little
bit and I just wanted to make sure I
took my time coming back,
because I remember at Dover it all
happens way too fast. You never
know when youre going to get
that opportunity again.
Truex blew out his rear tires,
tried to wave to every single fan he
saw, and took a slow drive around
the picturesque road course on his
way to Victory Lane, where the
MWR crew was waiting to drink
from the winners enormous wine
glass.
I told them on the radio, if
theyre waiting on me, too bad.
Im taking my time, he said. You
cant explain the feeling. When
its been that long and you worked
so hard and youve been so close
... when you think at times, Man,
is this ever going to happen
again? You cant explain the feel-
ing. Its pretty surreal.
Truex worked his way to the
front and used strategy to stay with
the leaders. He then pulled away
after the nal restart and built a
healthy lead of more than six sec-
onds over Juan Pablo Montoya,
who was running second until he
ran out of gas on the nal lap.
Im ecstatic. But Im not exact-
ly sure how that happened, said
Truex, who admitted he wasnt
pleased with his car following
Fridays practices. The car was
just phenomenal all day long and
once I was near the front and didnt
have to run the car 110 percent, it
just would stay with me on the
long runs and I was able to drive
away from everyone.
Montoya, who came into the
weekend knowing if he didnt win
he would at least have a huge
points day, dropped all the way to
34th after having to coast to the
nish. He took a shortcut to skip
the nal turn, drifted to the nish
line and parked. He then walked
back to the garage, annoyed his
Chip Ganassi Racing team never
told him to save fuel.
Weve got tools to prevent
things like that from happening,
Montoya said.

DO YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN?
Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you theres aneffective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degreeof knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of yourlifeby
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patients results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
supplementation?
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often decient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide signicant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difcult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inammation and
increases range of motion, ex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benets.
Are the treatments
successful?
Weve treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
signicant pain relief and regained
mobility.
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If youre suffering from knee pain,
your rst step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my rst appointment in a wheelchair because I couldnt bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

LONDON As her agent nodded along
approvingly from a front-row seat, Serena
Williams sounded contrite and composed.
Well-rehearsed, too.
Williams even managed to crack herself
up with a couple of jokes during her news
conference at Wimbledon as the defending
champion, where the primary topic was
hardly her 31-match winning streak or her
bid for a sixth title at the All England Club
or her injured sister Venus absence from the
eld.
Instead, more than half the questions at
Sundays session revolved around themes
generating the most buzz on the eve of ten-
nis oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam
tournament: what Williams was quoted as
saying in a recent magazine article and
Maria Sharapovas surprisingly forceful
verbal swipe in reaction to that story.
It denitely hasnt been easy, the No. 1-
ranked Williams said about the stir created
by a Rolling Stone prole posted online
Tuesday. And I feel like I really wanted to
say: I apologize for everything that was
said in that article.
Williams already had issued a statement
expressing regret for remarks about the 16-
year-old victim in the Steubenville, Ohio,
rape case.
On Sunday, Williams said she approached
the No. 3-ranked Sharapova to try to
smooth things over by extending an apolo-
gy at a pre-tournament players party
Thursday. The back-and-forth between two
of the sports most popular and successful
women can be traced to a passage where the
storys author surmised that something crit-
ical Williams said during a telephone con-
versation with her sister referred to
Sharapova.
But Thursdays interaction didnt end the
matter because Sharapova delivered this
broadside at her news conference Saturday:
If she wants to talk about something per-
sonal, maybe she should talk about her rela-
tionship and her boyfriend that was married
and is getting a divorce and has kids.
Given a chance to react directly to that
swipe 24 hours later, Williams declined,
saying: I definitely was told of
(Sharapovas) comments. I denitely like
to keep my personal life personal. I think it
would be inappropriate for me to comment
on it.
All in all, nothing tennis related has
drawn nearly as much attention in the run-
up to Wimbledon. That might change
Monday, when play begins and four-time
major champion Sharapova is among those
scheduled to be on court, facing 37th-
ranked Kristina Mladenovic of France. Also
on the schedule: two-time Australian Open
champion Victoria Azarenka, 2011
Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova, and a
matchup between up-and-coming
Americans Sloane Stephens and Jamie
Hampton.
The honor of the years rst match on
Centre Court goes to the defending mens
champion, Roger Federer.
You feel very unique, clearly, because
you are the one opening the court, said
Federer, who will be bidding for a record
eighth Wimbledon championship. I think
its a big deal for, also, the players Ive
played, who got the unluck or luck of the
draw to play me in that rst round.
This time, the recipient of that unluck
was Victor Hanescu of Romania, whos
never made it past the third round in seven
previous Wimbledon appearances.
Others playing Monday include No. 2
Andy Murray, the runner-up a year ago; and
No. 5 Rafael Nadal, whose 12 Grand Slam
titles include two at Wimbledon. Federer
could face Nadal in the quarternals, with
the winner possibly meeting Murray in the
seminals.
Id rather Rafa and Roger were on the
other side of the draw, said Murray, aiming
to give Britain its rst male champion at
Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936, but
theyre not.
No. 1 Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, is
expected to have an easier path through
other half of the eld and wont get started
until Tuesday. Thats also when Williams is
scheduled to play.

BOSTON Jonathan Toews
watched the end of the fth game
of the Stanley Cup Final from the
Blackhawks bench, unable to play
after a hit to his head.
Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron
was in a Chicago hospital after
leaving the United Center by
ambulance.
As the Stanley Cup Final
approaches a sixth and potential
clinching game on Monday night,
the attention shifted from the
players on the ice to the ones who
might not make it there, including
two of the top forwards and
biggest stars in the series.
Its not the best situation for
either team, Bruins goalie Tuukka
Rask said Sunday after both teams
ew back to Boston. But its a
tough sport, and injuries happen.
When you leave it all out there to
help your team win, thats all part
of the game.
Bergeron was injured in the sec-
ond period of Game 5 on Saturday
night, which the Blackhawks won
3-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
He made two brief appearances on
the ice in the third period but
something was obviously wrong
and he was unable to complete
either shift.
Toews, who won the Selke Award
as the NHLs top defensive forward
Bergeron was a finalist
missed the entire third period after
a shot to the head from Bruins
defenseman Johnny Boychuk.
Theyre both great players,
Chicago winger Patrick Sharp
said. I think any coach in the
league, any player in the league
would like to have those guys on
their team. They take pride in tak-
ing faceoffs, playing well away
from the puck, making their line-
mates better, (theyre) both big
parts of the locker room.
I cant speak for what Boston
is dealing with, with Bergeron. I
know I dont need to say much
about Jonathan. I think everyone
knows what we think of him in our
locker room. Hopefully we can
have him back for (Monday).
Bergeron, who was taken to the
hospital for observation, was
released later Saturday night and
rejoined his teammates for a team
meal.
He was crushing some food,
Bruins forward Brad Marchand said
Sunday.
Bergeron was on the team ight
back from Chicago. After the
Bruins bus arrived at the TD
Garden in the afternoon, he walked
without crutches or assistance to a
car and was driven away.
Hes good. He came back with
us and everything so hopefully he
can play, Marchand said. He
looked really good today. He had a
nice suit on, very dashing.
Obviously, hes a big part of the
team and hopefully he can play.
The Blackhawks lost Toews
after Boychuk knocked him down
in the slot, making contact with
his head. Boychuk wasnt penal-
ized, and NHL spokesman John
Dellapina said on Sunday that the
league reviewed the hit and there
will be no supplemental disci-
pline.
I think they said it was clean,
wasnt it? Then I agree with
them, Bruins coach Claude Julien
said. Im not going to hide from
that.

The defending World Series champion
Giants dropped three of four at home to the
team with the worst record in the National
League, scoring just eight runs in the four
games.
The Giants went 3-4 on the homestand
that started with three games against San
Diego, marking their rst losing homes-
tand since going 3-7 from July 23-Aug. 2
last summer. San Fracisco had won or split
the last 10 homestands.
You can try to make excuses but really we
didnt get the job done, Cain said. We did-
nt get some guys in when we needed to and
we didnt throw the ball like we needed to.
We had some games where we had the lead
and we didnt nish it off. You have to kind
of just say its over with and move on now.
The Giants did end a 90-inning home run
drought when Pence led off the seventh
against Eovaldi with a drive over the left
eld fence for his 12th of the season to cut
Miamis led to 3-2. It was San Franciscos
rst homer since a leadoff shot by Gregor
Blanco on June 14 in Atlanta.
Eovaldi allowed just two hits in the rst
ve innings a line drive that went in and
out of the glove of sliding right elder
Giancarlo Stanton in the rst inning and an
ineld hit between the pitchers mound and
rst base by Blanco in the fourth.
Eovaldi was nally touched for a run in
the sixth when pinch-hitter Tony Abreu
tripled and scored on a groundout by Marco
Scutaro.

close it out. It will be one that I will always
remember, for sure.
In signing with his third team in three
seasons, Reynolds had plenty to prove
heading into the season. Once one of the
top prospects in baseball, the right-hander
has been hampered by injuries, which have
consistently derailed his ability to log
innings. Last season with Rangers Triple-
A affiliate Round Rock, Reynolds tallied
163 innings through 27 games, both
standings as underwhelming single-season
highs since his pro career began in 2006.
And despite maintaining an 11-9 record, he
posted a disappointing 5.30 ERA.
Now, the former Terra Nova and Stanford
standout is currently one of the top pitch-
ers in the minor leagues. Reynolds is cur-
rently tied for tops in the International
League with nine wins, and also leads the
league in ERA (2.23) and innings pitched
(101).
I really had to have a good year because
Im not getting any younger, said
Reynolds, who turns 28 next week. I
knew that I needed to start doing well. So,
I put a little pressure on myself to get bet-
ter, and I think its working out for me so
far this year.
Reynolds was one of a handful of minor-
league players with an opt-out clause in his
contract. Former 19-game winner Chien-
Ming Wang exercised such an opt-out
clause on June 7 with the Yankees, and has
since settled in to the big-league rotation
in Toronto. Former Giants first baseman
Travis Ishikawa decided to exercise his
opt-out clause on June 15 with the Orioles,
prompting Baltimore to add him to the
big-league roster instead of losing him to
free agency.
Ultimately, there was other triple-A
jobs out there, Reynolds said. Theres no
guarantee of major league jobs out there.
So, in my mind, making a lateral move in
the middle of the season when Im doing
well, and changing your life Who knows
how I start throwing after that? From my
point of view, I just wanted to stay where I
was comfortable.
REDS
said he was ready to use Balfour for two
innings and wasnt going to wait for a dif-
ferent situation to bring out his closer once
it went into the 10th.
We had a couple guys who werent avail-
able and hes our best pitcher, Melvin said.
We were going to go with our best guy
going into the day off.
Oakland started the day in a tie with Texas
for the American League West lead but has
lost four of ve.
The bullpen has been an issue in the
recent slide before Sunday, the As
bullpen had blown three games. Relievers
picked up three losses and only one save
over the previous six games.
Raul Ibanez gave the Mariners the lead
with a two-run homer in the rst inning and
added a solo shot in the third, his team-lead-
ing 17th, to give Seattle a 3-0 lead. It was
his second multihomer game this season
and 18th of his career.
Oliver Perez (2-1) pitched two innings to
earn the win. Perez has not allowed a run in
his last 11 innings.
Brandon Moss solo home run off reliever
Danny Farquhar in the eighth inning tied
the game at 3.
Seattle starter Jeremy Bonderman, who
had allowed two runs over his previous three
starts, cruised until getting into a jam in the
sixth as the Athletics loaded the bases with
one out.
With a 2-2 count on Josh Donaldson,
Bonderman threw a wild pitch that allowed
Jed Lowrie to score.

SAN DIEGO The Los Angeles
Dodgers were celebrating Adrian
Gonzalezs tiebreaking home run
when the crowds roar directed
attention back to the eld.
Hanley Ramirez sent the next
pitch out, too, giving the Dodgers
a 3-1 victory over the San Diego
Padres on Sunday and a split the
four-game series.
Hanleys home run was the
after-party that keeps the celebra-
tion going, Gonzalez said. This
win was a big one for us. We need-
ed to split the series and build
some positive momentum. Im
glad we were able to do that.
Gonzalez broke a 1-all tie with a
drive to right field off closer
Huston Street, and Ramirez hit the
next pitch to right-center.
Were 2-0 when Hanley and I
homer in the same game,
Gonzalez said. We need to keep
that trend going. We need to pro-
duce in the middle of the lineup.
The Dodgers also got solid
efforts on the mound. Chris
Capuano threw five shutout
innings on short rest and a shaky
bullpen held up when Padres
relievers could not.
A lot of good stuff happened
today, Dodgers manager Don
Mattingly said. We got a solid
start and clutch hitting.

U
nfortunately, our familys travel
plans this week dont include
Murray, our four-legged compan-
ion. Sea World and Legoland arent dog-
friendly. And, the eight-hour car ride would-
nt be much fun either, though I imagine
Murray would be the best-behaved, least
needy of our three little passengers. I cant
complain about our other two; were all
going to have a blast. Abig part of relax-
ing and having fun includes knowing
Murrays in good hands while were away.
And, were totally set there. My brother
and sister-in-law have watched Murray
before and are looking forward to it.
Anyone in my situation can do a few things
to make life easy for the pet sitter. First, we
had Murray bathed and groomed yesterday.
Next, I prepared his Care Sheet for my
relatives. This includes his feeding sched-
ule and amount per meal, acceptable snacks
(since he has food allergies), a line about
his evening walk routine, a phone number
and address for the pet emergency clinic
closest to them and some other helpful
pieces of information, like If you want to
get Murray really tired, try this and If
you encounter another dog while you are
out walking, expect this behavior. And,
in big, bold letters, I include this: Never
allow Murray off-leash except when you are
in your home or a secure yard. I would feel
terrible if they ever got separated from
Murray and know they would too. His
weekend bag includes his food/food and
water bowls, treats, bedding, leash and
favorite toys. When I go to drop Murray
off, Ill take a quick walk around their house
and yard, looking for potential hazards
things that non dog-owners might not con-
sider. Gum or candy left in a dish on a low
coffee table, for example, could be a real
problem. I dont think Murray would
explore, but dont want to take that chance.

LOS ANGELES Turns out
zombies and Superman are no
match for monsters.
Disneys Monsters
University is the weekend box-
ofce winner, according to studio
estimates released Sunday. The
animated family film, which
reunites stars Billy Crystal and
John Goodman and their charac-
ters from the 2001 hit Monsters,
Inc., debuted in rst place with
$82 million, beating out swarm-
ing zombies in World War Z and
Superman himself in Man of
Steel.
The diversity of this weekend
is part of what makes this busi-
ness so great, said Dave Hollis,
Disneys head of distribution.
Its a really extraordinary week-
end for the industry.
Especially for Monsters
University, Pixars 14th consec-
utive lm to open in rst place.
Such expectations of excellence
put a healthy pressure on lm-
makers, Hollis said: To deliver
that kind of quality consistently is
a differentiator in the market-
place.
Still, the lm exceeded studio
expectations with its domestic
totals, he said.
Paramounts Brad Pitt zombie
romp overcame critical advance
publicity to open in second place
with $66 million. Media reports
months ahead of the lms open-
ing chronicled its problems,
including a revamped ending that
delayed its release.
Rewrites and reshoots sent the
film over budget. It ended up
reportedly costing more than
$200 million to make, but early
reviews were positive.
What World War Z proves is
that all the negative backstory
that can be thrown at a movie does-
nt matter if the movies good,
said Paul Dergarabedian of box-
ofce tracker Hollywood.com. I
dont think the audience cares one
lick if they had to reshoot the end-
ing if they like the ending and like
the movie.
The success of the lm means it
could be a franchise in the mak-
ing. Paramounts president of
domestic distribution, Don Harris,
called the opening spectacular.
Its the biggest live-action
original opening since Avatar,
he said. (Its) Brad Pitts biggest
opening ever, and in terms of
Paramounts recent history, it
ranks behind Iron Man and
Transformers as the third largest
potential franchise opening in the
history of the company.
Warner Bros. Man of Steel was
third at the box office, adding
another $41.2 million to its cof-
fers and bringing its domestic
ticket sales over $210 million in
just the second week of release.
The Sony comedy This Is the
End, which stars Seth Rogen,
James Franco and Jonah Hill as
versions of themselves trapped in
a mansion during the apocalypse,
nished in fourth place.
Summit Entertainments magic-
heist thriller Now You See Me
held onto fth place in its fourth
week in theaters.

asked how he wound up on the streets, he
said, I just started walking.
When people think of the homeless in
town, they think of Danny, said Rees, They
say, Oh yeah, we have two homeless people
in Pacica. Theyre thinking of Danny and
another gentleman who stays in the back of
the valley.
Danny is atypical, Rees said. Many home-
less are the working poor, who use a variety
of strategies to keep up appearances, she
said, adding that some maintain local gym
memberships to use the showers.
Another myth about Pacicas homeless is
that theyre just passing through. Most
homeless Pacicans actually have deep ties
to the community, she said.
In that respect, Danny is not atypical. He
graduated from Terra Nova High School in
1970 and played in a local rock band. Those
who remember him from the old days describe
him as a brilliant guitarist. He disagrees,
however, and said hes just a regular one.
The Pacica Resource Center provides vari-
ous services, including free food, housing
assistance, advocacy and coaching. Theyll
even help navigate the tricky process of
applying for health coverage through the
state. Rees said many of her clients had their
own businesses or were independent contrac-
tors, and lost their customers during the eco-
nomic downturn.
Katz said social scientists like her refer to
this downturn as the Great Recession, and
they do capitalize the term. Other terms she
frequently uses are unsheltered and
unhoused, which she said are meant to shift
the emphasis away from homelessness as a
stigmatized identity.
The Department of Housing and Urban
Development requires communities to count
their homeless populations every two years.
Most homeless counts around the country
increased from 2007 to 2009, and peaked in
2011, Katz said. For the 2013 count, she said
homeless numbers fell in most places, but
not in Pacica.
The next step is to gain a deeper under-
standing of why Pacicas numbers havent
fallen, Katz said.
I think its due to the incredibly high cost
of living, and because people dont believe
homelessness exists in Pacica, so resources
arent devoted to it, she said.
Katz added that Pacicas unemployment
rate is among the highest in San Mateo
County. Another challenge, she said, is that
many homeless people have bad credit or
past evictions, which make it impossible to
rent an apartment even if they are employed.
She said theres a need for an organization to
help with security deposits and to co-sign
rental agreements.
Eighty percent of homeless people respond
quickly to supportive programs, and it would
take six months to two years to transition
most of Pacicas unsheltered residents into
housing, Katz said.
We need to get on it, she said, because
Pacica can make a big difference for this
winter. The next homeless count is in
January 2015, and Pacica can see those
numbers drop.
Pacica Councilwoman Karen Ervin par-
ticipated in the 2013 count. She was paired
with a homeless guide who walked the
streets with her at the crack of dawn. That
person, having been homeless, was able to
spot the signs of homeless habitation which
others might have missed. Ervin said it was a
real eye-opener to see rsthand the cars, RVs
and encampments where homeless people
live.
Ervin was uncompromising when asked
whether there might be some blowback from
homeowners worried about Pacicas reputa-
tion.
To be a strong community, we need to be
dedicated to our citizens. We cant continue
to put our heads in the sand, she said.
Richard Pilotte can often be seen sitting
against the back, outside wall of the Linda
Mar Safeway. His few belongings are mostly
books, including Stephen King thrillers and
a novelization of The Walking Dead,
which hes currently reading. He speaks wist-
fully of the things he loves, such as the
music of Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana.
His ex-wife and two daughters live in
Pacica, and hes been here since 1969. Hes
been homeless for 11 years, he said.
When asked about his needs, Pilotte
smiled gently and said, What I need is a
long-haired Latin girl to rub my back and tell
me she loves me.
When Pilotte is asked his opinion of Rees
plan to establish warming centers, he tried to
answer, but was interrupted by his friend,
Daniel Christian Sullivan.
He doesnt need a warming center,
Sullivan said. He needs a studio apartment
hes not gonna get kicked out of at 6 a.m.!
However, Pilotte speaks highly of Rees
organization. He describes caseworker Ann
Cooney as an angel, and remembers happily
stufng his backpack with food from the
Resource Centers pantry.
They got me a hotel room for two or three
nights, he said. I sat in the bath tub for one
and a half hours and just let the hot water hit
me.
Rees, for her part, understands that shes
issued a bold challenge to this city. When
asked if her goal of providing shelter for
every single Pacican can actually be
attained, her answer is an emphatic yes.
This is an awesome place to live, she
said, and how cool would it be if we could say
we take care of everybody who lives in
Pacica, including the homeless.

tinued into 2013 is even more unusual,
Moura said.
Recology spokesman Gino
Gasparini said he is not aware of
whether the charges involved money
connected to Allied or how exactly the
overcharging happened but that
Recology gave San Carlos back what
it thought was an overpayment.
The overages have stopped and the
city is now working with Recology to
credit the funds back toward future
solid waste rates.
Its a big enough number that it
should offset the year to year
increase, Moura said.
Olbert said he would be interested in
learning if the money could be credited
back to individual accounts rather than
atten out future rates but Moura said
the 2014 credit is the most logical way
to reconcile the mistake.
Gasparini also said customers should
rest assured their money is being
counted and not lost or hiding.
Its coming back our way and well
apply it to the future increase, he said.
Its almost as if the money went into
the bank.

In all other categories, the state
remains closer to the bottom. Despite
the lower rankings, the state did
improve its overall ranking in one
area, education, moving to 39th from
43rd last year. In San Mateo County,
children are succeeding in education
and have greater access to health care
than in other areas of the state.
The Kids Count Data Book shows
Californias leaders arent giving
enough attention to the fundamental
issues undermining our childrens
and our states success, Children
Now President Ted Lempert wrote in a
prepared statement. Its a mis-priori-
tization problem. While our state
ranks 11th nationally in per capita
state and local tax revenues, we are
well below the national average in per
capita spending on education but sec-
ond in per capita spending on correc-
tions/prisons.
California ranks 46th when it comes
to economic well-being the lowest
of the scores given to the state.
Twenty-three percent of the states
children live in poverty, a number that
has increased from 19 percent since
2005. Thirty-six percent of the states
children live in a family in which their
parents lack secure employment. In
San Mateo County, 9.1 percent of chil-
dren live in poverty, according to kids-
data.org.
With a stagnant ranking of 42 in
family and community, 34 percent of
children in California live in a single-
parent home.
In education, California is ranked
39th. About 75 percent of the states
fourth graders are not proficient in
reading, 75 percent of eighth graders
are not procient in math, both lead-
ing to students who are not graduating
on time, according to the Data Book.
Statewide, the report shows 22 percent
of students arent graduating on time.
San Mateo Countys scores are a bit
better. Seventy-one percent of fourth
grade students scored procient or bet-
ter in English, according to the 2012
Standardized Testing and Reporting
Program. Using the same numbers, 51
percent of local eighth graders scored
proficient or higher in algebra.
Locally, 11 percent of students
dropped out of high school compared
to the California average of 13.2 per-
cent, according to a statewide report
released in April. Graduation rates
statewide were at 78.5 percent for the
class of 2011-12. San Mateo County
fared better with an 83.3 percent grad-
uation rate.
Health is where California is ranked
best at 23. California reports 6.8 per-
cent of infants born at a low weight.
The state has a ration of 21 child and
teen deaths per 100,000, according to
the Data Book. Also, 9 percent report-
edly are abusing substances. Only 8
percent of California kids lack health
insurance. San Mateo County fares a
much better with 1.3 percent of chil-
dren not having health insurance.

Council?
Did staff know of the cost overruns
in San Jose? Does this affect our con-
tract?
If staff was not aware of these
issues, does this information affect
staffs recommendation to council?
Why or why not?
Interim Streets and Facilities
Manager Matt Bronson replied back in
an email that staff was aware of con-
cerns raised by the council in San Jose
but that many on the council still sup-
port GPC.
Bronson also replied that staff was
aware of the initial cost overruns expe-
rienced with San Joses contract but
that the city still estimates it saves
roughly $600,000 a year by outsourc-
ing the service.
As indicated earlier, staff is aware of
these issues and monitored San Joses
use of this service delivery model and
this contractor prior to conducting our
own competitive request for proposals
process for this work. The issues in
San Jose did not impact our staff rec-
ommendation to contract with GPC for
this work as a result of the RFP
process. Overall, city staff in San Jose
overseeing grafti removal has been
very pleased with GPCs work and pro-
vided us with a strong recommendation
about the responsiveness and quality
of service similar to other cities weve
talked with, Bronson wrote in a email
to Lim and city staff.
In Burbank, police eventually arrest-
ed the employee using Graffiti
Protective Coatings own proprietary
smartphone software and the city still
contracts with the company.
The companys owner, Carla
Lenhoff, told the council at a recent
meeting that the former employee was
a bad apple and that the company
actually helped police nab him.
In FY 2011-12, city workers carried
out about 1,100 grafti removal work
orders on city facilities and right-of-
ways including roads, sidewalks and
bridges but this years totals will
eclipse that number, according to a
staff report.
GPC offered to remove reported graf-
ti on city property throughout San
Mateo within 48 hours of receiving
the report and 24 hours in designated
hot spots and for reported gang, hate
crime and inammatory graft i .
GPC offered to also carry out proac-
tive patrol to identify and remove
unreported grafti on city property.
In addition, GPC offered to provide a
real-time web-based work order system
for receiving, tracking and closing
work orders that city staff can access in
its proposal. The work orders were to
include the location, date, response
time, tag moniker and other informa-
tion along with before and after photo-
graphs to assist with
enforcement efforts.
GPC also offered its mobile applica-
tion tool for residents and city
employees to use their mobile device
to report grafti and submit photos.
Bronson said ultimately it is the
councils decision on how best to
abate grafti in San Mateo.

CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- When it comes to
work-related issues, dont be overly dependent on
co-workers whove helped you in the past. They
might not be around this time.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- As long as youre
permitted to think for yourself, youll be
productive. Undue orders or interference will slow
you down to a crawl.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your judgment
is likely to be far superior to that of a well-
intentioned friend. Listen to this persons advice,
but keep your own counsel.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont put off
important assignments until the last minute.
Youll be much sharper early in the day, so you
shouldnt waste those hours.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Tend to your own
affairs before trying to help out other people. You
wont be thought of as selfsh, just effcient.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There is no valid
reason why you should share your good fortune
with persons who had no hand in bringing it about.
However, be sure to reward those who did.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your ability to
evaluate things correctly might not be as effective
as you think. Try to operate only in areas of strength.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try to relax and let
things take their course. Youve worked hard to plan
something well, and you dont need to make any
last-minute changes.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Success is likely
if youre able to organize your priorities in a
methodical manner. If for some reason you cant,
youre likely to end up being an also-ran.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Unless you have your
mind on what youre doing, you could end up taking
one step forward and two steps back. Obviously,
doing so will get you no place fast.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Your frst thoughts are
likely to be your best, yet for reasons known only to
you, youre likely to put far more stock in your less-
accurate assessments.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Dont push your
commercial dealings too far. Holding out for extra
concessions might take all the snap out of the
rubber band.

LAS VEGAS Wildlife
experts in California and Nevada
are sounding the alarm about a
deadly disease that is claiming
the lives of a growing number of
desert bighorn sheep in the
Mojave National Preserve about
100 miles southwest of Las
Vegas.
Officials for the National Park
Service and California
Department of Fish and Game say
they may have to resort to
killing some bighorns to pre-
vent the outbreak from spreading
through the largest herd in the
1.6 million-acre preserve.
Park Service spokeswoman
Linda Slater said at least 20 dead
sheep have been found the past
month on Old Dad Mountain,
about 15 miles southeast of
Baker, Calif. Tests confirmed
that at least some of them died
from a strain of pneumonia gen-
erally trans-
mitted by
domes-
tic sheep and goats that typically
is fatal to bighorns.
Its really kind of a grim situ-
ation to be perfectly honest with
you, Slater told the Las Vegas
R e v i e w - J o u r n a l
(http://tinyurl.com/n4wx8aj).
Game wardens now are consid-
ering whether to hunt down
sheep showing signs of sick-
ness. But even that might not be
enough to halt the spread.
Kill every animal
To really get rid of the dis-
ease, you have to kill every ani-
mal, but thats not practical or
likely to happen, Slater
said. There are no
good management
options.
Wildlife officials
in Nevada are
watching the situa-
tion anxiously, hop-
ing the sick animals can
be contained somehow
before they come into con-
tact with sheep in the
Silver State.
The dis-
eased herd is only a 45-mile trip
as the crow flies from moun-
tains that harbor desert bighorn
at the southern edge of Clark
County, said Doug Nielsen,
spokesman for the Nevada
Department of Wildlife.
We do have some right down
there close to the state line. So
its a concern, and its something
that needs to be monitored, he
said.
Slater said the afflicted animals
are part of what she called the
biggest and healthiest herd in
Southern California. Transplants
from the group have been used in
the past to bolster struggling
herds elsewhere in
California, she said.
Bighorn have no nat-
ural resistance to pneu-
monia and tend to die at a
high rate. Those that sur-
vive become carriers,

newborn
l ambs

cycle

c a n
r avage
t h e
h e r d
for up
to a
decade.
Biologists may never know for
certain how the isolated herd of
200 to 300 sheep was exposed to
the disease, but they have their
suspicions.
Slater said a domestic goat
turned up in the area about six
months ago, but the animal
showed no signs of pneumonia.
However, tests for the disease are
not always reliable, she said.
Disease may spread
Biologists and veterinarians
seem really pessimistic that
anything can be done to keep
the entire herd from being
exposed, Slater said. The worry
now is that the disease will
spread to one of four other herds
in the preserve, possibly by a
ram sent wandering when rutting
season gets under way in the
coming weeks.
Volunteers from the Sierra Club
and the Society for the
Conservation of Bighorn Sheep
assisted with the initial search
for sick and dead animals. Alack
of resources and the remote,
rugged location of the herd have
hampered efforts so far to address
the outbreak, Slater said.
Back in Nevada, wildlife offi-
cials are hoping that hot, dry
weather this summer will keep
the affected herd close to the
water sources in its home range
and away from other herds.
Beyond that, Nielsen said,
there isnt much
that can be
d o n e
from the Nevada side of the state
line but to wait and watch what
happens.
Bighorn sheep once roamed
nearly every mountain range in
Nevada, but their numbers began
to decline in the mid-1800s as
settlers and prospectors swept
into the region, mostly in the
north.
By 1960, disease, unregulated
hunting and habitat loss had
reduced Nevadas bighorn popu-
lation to about 1,200 animals in
a handful of ranges, none of them
north of Ely or west of
Hawthorne.
Wildlife officials launched the
Bighorn Sheep Release Program
in 1967 to return the official
state animal to its former glory.
Today, Nevada is home to more
bighorn sheep than any other
state over 10,000 adult ani-
mals in at least 60 different
mountain ranges. But disease
always looms as a threat to those
gains.
Pneumonia
In 2010, pneumonia nearly
wiped out a herd of Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep in the
Ruby Mountains near Elko.
The most recent outbreak in
Southern Nevada struck in 2002
in the Specter Range, along U.S.
Highway 95 about 75 miles
northwest of Las Vegas.
After several years of what
Nielsen called very low lamb
survival, the herds numbers
finally began to rebound in
2009.
