MILITANTS OVERRUN MOST OF MAJOR IRAQI CITY
By Linda Deutsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A judge struck down
tenure and other job protections for
Californias public school teachers as
unconstitutional Tuesday, saying such laws
harm students especially poor and
minority ones by saddling them with bad
teachers who are almost impossible to re.
In a landmark decision that could inu-
ence the gathering debate over tenure across
the country, Los Angeles County Superior
Court Judge Rolf Treu cited the historic case
of Brown v. Board of Education in ruling
that students have a fundamental right to
equal education.
Siding with the nine students who
brought the lawsuit, he ruled that
Californias laws on hiring and ring in
schools have resulted in a signicant num-
ber of grossly ineffective teachers currently
active in California classrooms.
He agreed, too, that a disproportionate
number of these teachers are in schools that
have mostly minority and low-income stu-

Hairstrike an 80s metal band
revival, complete with spandex, Aqua
Net, shredding guitars and shrieking

The band, comprised of the
Peninsulas Chris Gallegos, Matthew
Eernisse, David Weiskopf and Dennis
Gast, just formed eight months ago
and enjoyed two performances Monday
night at the San Mateo County Fairs
Blues & Brews stage. The four men all
take on personas when they step on
stage though, with Gallegos taking on
the role of the stoic Cole Stone;
Eernisse transforming into Jake
Viceroy on lead vocals; Weiskopf
becomes J.C. Sleet as lead guitarist
and drums player Gast becomes
Diamond Donnie Fame.
All of us have mundane, regular

Dead bird from San Carlos
tests positive for West Nile virus
A dead bird collected from San Carlos
Wednesday tested positive for West Nile
virus, the rst indication of the virus in San
Mateo County this year, according to the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control
District.
The district will be deploying mosquito
traps in the neighborhood where the dead bird
was found to collect adult mosquitoes for test-
ing.
The rst West Nile-positive bird of the
season is an important reminder that West
Nile virus is still present in San Mateo
County, said District Manager Robert Gay.
West Nile virus activity may increase as we
head into the summer months, and it is
important for residents to protect themselves
from mosquito bites.
From 2004 through 2013, 64 dead birds
and 16 squirrels collected in the county tested
positive for the virus. To date in 2014, West
Nile virus has been detected in 13 counties
statewide. West Nile virus is transmitted
through the bite of an infected mosquito. The
primary hosts are birds, according to the dis-
trict.
Humans, horses and other animals can
become infected with the virus if bitten by an
infected mosquito. It cannot be spread person
to person, according to the district.
The San Mateo County Mosquito and
Vector Control District controls mosquitoes
through an integrated mosquito control pro-
gram that targets the immature stages, which
breed in standing water.
Reports of dead birds are an early indication
that the virus is circulating in the environ-
ment. Residents are encouraged to help by
reporting fresh carcasses of birds or tree
squirrels to the West Nile virus hotline,
online at www.westnile.ca.gov or by phone
at (877) WNV-BIRD ((877) 968-2473).
To prevent mosquito breeding on your
property and to prevent mosquito bites, the
district advises to follow the Three Ds:
DRAIN Mosquitoes lay their eggs on
standing water. Eliminate all sources of
standing water on your property, including
ower pots, old car tires, rain gutters and pet
bowls.
DAWN and DUSK Mosquitoes bite in
the early morning and evening so it is impor-
tant to wear proper clothing and repellent if
outside during these times. Make sure that
your doors and windows have tight-tting
screens to keep mosquitoes out.
DEET Apply insect repellent contain-
ing DEET, picaradin, oil of lemon eucalyptus
or IR3535 according to label instructions.
Repellents keep the mosquitoes from biting
you. For assistance with a mosquito problem
in San Mateo County, contact the district at
(650) 344-8592 or go to www.smcmad.org.
Four-vehicle collision injures
three, shuts down Highway 1
A four-vehicle crash in Half Moon Bay
injured three people Tuesday afternoon and
shut down trafc along Highway 1 until 5:15
p.m.
The crash happened near the intersection of
Highway 1 and Higgins Canyon Road and
close to Coastside Fire Protection District
Station 40 at 1191 Main St. at about 2 p.m.,
county ofcials said.
Major injuries were reported in the crash.
Sheriffs Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said
three people were injured and a medical heli-
copter was dispatched to the area.
Gas prices holding downward trend
California motorists are well on their way
into a summer of continuing falling prices at
the pump with the state average for a gallon
of gas at $4.11, a seven cent drop from a
month ago, according to the AAA Northern
California monthly gas survey.
Gas prices in San Mateo are down 5 cents
for an average price per gallon at $4.24 a gal-
lon, according to AAA.
Northern Californias average price for a
gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $4.09,
six cents less than last months AAA report
May 13. The highest recorded price ever reg-
istered in the state of California was in
October of 2012, at $4.67 a gallon of unlead-
ed regular, according to AAA.
The national average is $3.65 for a gallon
of unleaded regular gas, according to AAA.

With summer right around the cor-
ner, Burlingame is ramping up for
new, and free, environmental pro-
grams.
Burlingames Citizens
Environmental Council, or CEC, is
inviting the public to six talks and
film showings about current envi-
ronmental issues in coming months,
beginning with a talk on
Californias water crisis on
Wednesday, June 18.
How We Can Solve Californias
Water Crisis will feature Newsha
Ajami, director of urban water policy
at Stanford Universitys Water in the
West program, who will describe
Californias complex water system.
She will explain how people need to
rethink how water is managed to
save money and energy and be less
vulnerable to droughts. For exam-
ple, new technology will soon make
it possible to reuse water in place
instead of using energy to pipe it
long distances.
The programs are being funded
with the proceeds from the down-
town Burlingame Green Street Fair,
said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel.
Theres a lot of misinformation
about environmental issues out
there, and we feel its important to
let people hear from experts, ask
questions and have
an informed con-
versation about
some of these hot-
button topics like
food waste, frack-
ing and our states
water system, she
said in a prepared
statement.
The CEC has
three current initiatives. Aside from
the new programming, it is encour-
aging Burlingame residents to par-
ticipate in the CoolCalifornia City
Challenge sponsored by Energ y
Upgrade California, a statewide proj-
ect aimed at helping individuals
lower their carbon emissions.
Burlingame is one of 10 cities com-
peting for $50,000 in prize money.
The challenge runs through August.
Burlingame has earned $1,200 so
far. Funds earned from the Challenge
will be used to support sustainabili-
ty projects in Burlingame.
In addition, the CEC and the city
are inviting residents to help ensure
the health of newly planted trees in
the city by participating in the new
Adopt-a-Tree program. Volunteers
sign up to water a tree once a week.
We think these programs will
give people good ideas on how
they can make their lives and
our planet more sustainable,
CEC Chair Lisa Happich said in a
prepared statement.
Other talks and screenings include
Plastic Paradise a film with Beth
Terry on July 14, Dive a film with
Dana Frasz of Food Shift on Aug. 6,
a talk on the pros and cons of gray
water and rainwater on Sept. 3 by
Tom Bressan of The Urban Farmer
Store, a talk on the grassroots cru-
sade for food reform in California by
Michael Dimock, former chairman
of Slow Food USA and the strategic
adviser to the California Food
Policy Council, on Oct. 1 and a
screening of the Oscar-nominated
film Gasland on Nov. 5.
Screenings and talks will run 7
p. m. -8:45 p. m. in the Lane
Community Room in the Burlingame
Public Library at 480 Primrose Road
in Burlingame. Sign up for the

A 53-year-old man allegedly beat
another man to death in unincorporat-
ed Redwood City on Monday night,
San Mateo County sheriffs ofcials
said Tuesday.
The San Mateo County Coroners
Office has identified the victim as
Michael Anthony Gonzales, a 46-year-
old Redwood City resident.
Sheriffs deputies responded to a
report of two men ghting on the 3100
block of Middlefield Road at about
8:15 p.m., according to sheriffs
Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt.
When deputies arrived at the scene,
they found Gonzales lying motionless
on the ground with his alleged
assailant, Paul Ahern, standing near-
by, Rosenblatt said.
Deputies administered CPR but they
were unable to revive the victim, a
Redwood City resident, Rosenblatt

Dragon Theatres Birthday
Party worth celebrating
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Harold Pinters The Birthday Party is still confounding
and entertaining audiences some 56 years after it was written.
Dragon Theatres production does nothing to shed more light
on this three-act drama, yet it holds the audience spellbound.
Set in a boarding house on an English beach in the 1950s,
the play starts quietly enough with the taciturn Petey (Tom
Bleecker) coming home for breakfast with his morning paper
and being served corn akes by his ditzy but well-meaning
wife, Meg (Celia Maurice).
Soon theyre joined by their only boarder, the nasty,
loutish Stanley (Paul Stout).
Later, two men in business suits, the smooth-talking
Goldberg (Avi Jacobson) and the menacing McCann (Brian
Levi), arrange for a room. When he hears about them, Stanley
becomes fearful.
That night, theres a birthday party for Stanley, who insists
its not his birthday. The celebrants are Meg, Goldberg,
McCann and LuLu (Monica Ammerman), a sexy young neigh-
bor. Petey is away at his weekly chess game.
With the alcohol owing freely, the party evolves into an
intense interrogation of Stanley by Goldberg and McCann.
The next morning, he has been reduced to a catatonic state as
the two men take him away.
Thats the crux of the plot, but what is and isnt said is fas-
cinating. What do Goldberg and McCann represent? Whats
their connection to Stanley? Why does Goldberg change
details about his life? Those are just some of the questions
that arise. More come from nuances in the characters reac-
tions and interactions.
Thanks to astute direction by Jenny Hollingworth and her
well-chosen cast, theres always an element of tension with
some relief from humor.
Running about two hours and 10 minutes with two 10-
minute intermissions, this Dragon production is endlessly
enjoyable and engrossing.
The Birthday Party will continue at Dragon Productions
Theatre, 2120 Broadway, Redwood City, through June 15.

Perry brings fight for Tesla factory to California

SACRAMENTO Abid by Texas to lure a Tesla battery fac-
tory brought that states salesman-in-chief to the doorstep of
Californias state Capitol on Tuesday
and to underscore the point, he arrived in
one of the automakers sleek, all-electric
vehicles.
Before his scheduled meeting with
Republican state lawmakers, Gov. Rick
Perry cruised up to the Hyatt hotel across
from the Capitol behind the wheel of a
metallic gray, four-door Tesla Model S.
California and Texas are among a hand-
ful of states ghting for the planned bat-
tery plant, which will represent a $5 bil-
lion investment from the California-based car company and
its partners.
Perry, a former and potential future GOP presidential candi-
date, said competition between states is a good thing and
would help Californias economic turnaround.
Theres a real cause and effect here: over-taxation, overreg-
ulation, over-litigation, the deterioration of the public
schools to a degree they are not developing the workforce you
are going to need, Perry told reporters. Those things are rel-
atively quickly turned around, but its going to take competi-
tion. Its going to take pressure from other states.
Report: Social Security judges rubber-stamp claims
WASHINGTON Amid complaints about lengthy waits for
Social Security disability benets, congressional investiga-
tors say nearly 200 administrative judges have been rubber-
stamping claims, approving billions of dollars in lifetime
payments from the cash-strapped program.
Four of the judges defended their work at a combative con-
gressional hearing Tuesday. They said they follow the law.
Ive seen their ailments, Ive seen their pain, right in front
of me, Judge Gerald I. Krafsur of Kingsport, Tennessee, told
the House Oversight Committee.
Krafsur approved 99 percent of the cases he decided from
2005 to 2013, according to a new report by the Republican
staff of the Oversight Committee.
Obama to Silicon Valley to raise cash for Dems
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is returning to
Silicon Valley to help House Democrats
ll their campaign coffers ahead of the
midterm elections.
Obama will join House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi of California for the July 23
event. Thats according to an invitation
obtained by the Associated Press.
Its the eighth fundraiser Obama has
held across the country this year for the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. Hes held more than a
dozen others for Senate Democrats and

SACRAMENTO Democrats in the
Legislature want the state corrections
budget to spend tens of millions of
dollars more on mental health servic-
es as a way to improve treatment and
increase rehabilitation options.
They are making their case as law-
makers have just days to craft a budget
deal before Sundays deadline and as
the state and a handful of counties deal
with lawsuits related to the treatment
of mentally ill inmates in the state
prison and local jail systems.
But its far from certain that
Democratic lawmakers get all they
want in this weeks budget negotia-
tions.
Gov. Jerry Brown and county sher-
iffs, for example, want $500 million
in bond money to expand jails so they
can adequately house the thousands of
new inmates that counties are receiv-
ing under the governors three-year-
old realignment law, which diverts
lower-level offenders from state pris-
ons.
Senate Democrats are seeking to
broaden how that money can be used.
They want to give county boards of
supervisors the ability to spend it on
mental health and substance abuse
treatment facilities, transitional hous-
ing or other jail alternatives.
Their position on jail funding is
supported by reform groups but is
being criticized by the California
State Sheriffs Association.
Republican lawmakers and the
California State Association of
Counties support Browns proposal,
while a plan by Democrats in the state
Assembly gives sheriffs more exi-
bility in spending the money.
Counties have a huge problem with
jails that were constructed decades
ago, said Aaron Maguire, a lobbyist
for the sheriffs association.
While he said the alternative pro-
grams are worthwhile, the Senate pro-
posal dilutes the pot of money that
really needs to go to counties that
have those old and aged facilities.
Democrats in the Senate also are
seeking $175 million for eight pro-
grams intended to help mentally ill
offenders and the law enforcement of-
cers and prison guards who deal with
them. Thats about $85 million more
than is in Browns budget plan.
Among the proposals is $12 mil-
lion to train law enforcement ofcers
to spot warning signs of mental
Illness.

SACRAMENTO The race for state
controller, in which two Democrats are
vying for second place, remained up in
the air on Tuesday along with several
other contests, a week after
Californias statewide primary.
Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin, a
Republican, sealed the top spot in the
controllers contest but does not yet
know who she will face in November.
Former Assembly Speaker John Perez
had only a few hundred votes over
Board of Equalization member Betty
Yee.
Under Californias new primary sys-
tem, the top two vote-getters advance
to the general election regardless of
party afliation.
County clerks estimate that as many
as 756,000 ballots remained uncount-
ed statewide.
The challengers for as many as four
U.S. House races and up to ve state
legislative races also remained unde-
termined, according to reports filed
with the secretary of states ofce.
It was unclear who will challenge
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell in the
15th Congressional District, where
only a few hundred votes separate state
Sen. Ellen Corbett, a Democrat from
Hayward, and Hugh Bussell, a
Republican from Dublin, for second
place.
In the 24th Congressional District,
incumbent Democrat Lois Capps will
likely face a Republican, but only a
few hundred votes separate Justin
Donald Fareed and Chris Mitchum, son
of actor Robert Mitchum, for second
place.

WASHINGTON The Federal
Aviation Administration said Tuesday
it has granted the rst permission for
commercial drone ights over land,
the latest effort by the agency to show
it is loosening restrictions on com-
mercial uses of the unmanned aircraft.
Drone maker AeroVironment of
Monrovia, California, and BP energy
corporation have been given permis-
sion to use a Puma drone to survey
pipelines, roads and equipment at
Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, the agency
said. The rst ight took place on
Sunday.
Made by AeroVironment, the Puma
is a small, hand-launched craft about 4
1/2 feet long and with a 9-foot
wingspan. It was initially designed for
military use.
Drones are often less expensive to
operate than manned aircraft and easi-
er to maneuver. Equipped with 3D
cameras, the Puma will provide
images of hard-to-reach places not
currently available, BP and
AeroVironment say.

TROUTDALE, Ore. A teen gunman
armed with a rie shot and killed a 14-year-
old student Tuesday and injured a teacher
before he likely killed himself at a high
school in a quiet Columbia River town in
Oregon, authorities said.
After the shooting stopped, police spot-
ted the suspect slumped on a toilet in a bath-
room at Reynolds High School. Ofcers
used a robot with a camera to investigate and
discovered the suspect was dead and that he
had likely killed himself, Troutdale police
spokesman Sgt. Carey Kaer said.
His victim was identified as freshman
Emilio Hoffman, who was loved by all,
police Chief Scott Anderson said at a
Tuesday news conference. He said Hoffman
was found in the boys locker room.
Agirl who used to be Hoffmans girlfriend
said he was a good kid and a down-to-
earth guy.
He was very caring, he loved to joke
around, said Savannah Venegas, 16.
Hoffman lived with his mother and had an
older brother and two younger sisters, both
in elementary school, Venegas said.
Anderson said he spoke with Hoffmans
family, saying they had a difcult road ahead
and sought privacy.
Hoffman didnt have enemies and didnt
stir up trouble, Venegas said.
They wouldnt have just picked him, she
said. It had to be, just, random.
Authorities have tentatively identied the
gunman but his name is being withheld until
his family is notied, Anderson said.
The teacher, Todd Rispler, had injuries
werent life-threatening, and he was treated
at the scene. Rispler, a 50-year-old physical
education instructor and former track coach,
went to the ofce and initiated the school
lockdown, Anderson said. The attack pan-
icked students and they were told to go qui-
etly to their classrooms.
Freshman Morgan Rose, 15, said she hun-
kered down in a locker room with another
student and two teachers.
It was scary in the moment. Now know-
ing everythings OK, Im better, she said.
Freshman Daniel DeLong, 15, said after
the shooting that he saw a physical educa-
tion teacher at the school with a bloodied
shirt. He said he was texting friends to make
sure they were all OK.
It just, like, happened so fast, you
know? he said.
Anderson said two on-campus police of-
cers were the rst to respond to reports of a
shooting. The ofcers and a tactical team
sent to the school brought this to a conclu-
sion, the chief said, without elaborating.
Police: Teen gunman kills
student at Oregon school

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion only finalized the exchange of the last
remaining U.S. prisoner of war in
Afghanistan for five Taliban detainees at
Guantanamo a day before the swap, a top
Democratic lawmaker said Tuesday. He said
American officials didnt learn the pickup
location for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl until an
hour ahead of time.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senates
No. 2-ranked Democrat, presented the
timeline as an explanation for why
President Barack Obama didnt inform
Congress 30 days before the May 31 pris-
oner trade. Republicans and some
Democrats have sharply criticized the pres-
ident for failing to notify them and contend
he broke the law. Obama says he acted
legally.
They knew a day ahead of time the trans-
fer was going to take place, Durbin told
reporters in the Capitol,
where military officials
briefed the Senate Armed
Services Committee
behind closed doors.
They knew an hour
ahead of time where it
was going to take
place.
Durbin spoke as a
House panel overwhelm-
ingly backed a measure barring U.S. funds
for the transfer of detainees from the prison
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amid the con-
gressional outcry over the swap.
On a bipartisan 33-13 vote, the
Appropriations Committee added the pro-
vision to a $570 billion defense spending
bill. The measure bars 85 percent of the
funds in the account for overseas conflicts
until Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel reas-
sures Congress that congressional notifi-
cation on Guantanamo transfers will be
respected.

COME IN NOW! WHEN
ITS GONE, ITS GONE!
By Matthew Daly and Alan Fram
WASHINGTON United in response to a
national uproar, Congress is suddenly mov-
ing quickly to address military veterans
long waits for care at VAhospitals.
The House unanimously approved legisla-
tion Tuesday to make it easier for patients
enduring lengthy delays for initial visits to
get VA-paid treatment from local doctors
instead. The Senate was poised to vote on a
similar bill within 48 hours, said
Democratic leader Harry Reid.
The legislation comes close on the heels
of a Veterans Affairs Department audit show-
ing that more than 57,000 new applicants
for care have had to wait at least three
months for initial appointments and an
additional 64,000 newly enrolled vets who
requested appointments never got them.
I cannot state it strongly enough this
is a national disgrace, said Veterans Affairs
Committee Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla.,
chief author of the House legislation.
Miller made his comments minutes before
the House completed the rst of two votes
on its measure. Lawmakers approved the
bill 421-0, then re-voted a little over an
hour later, making sure no one was left out
on the politically important vote, with ve
more in favor and no one against. Miller
sheepishly admitted the reason for the sec-
ond vote: He was in his ofce and missed the
rst tally.
Rep. Mike Michaud of Maine, top
Democrat on the Veteran
Affairs Committee, said
the care that veterans
receive at VA facilities is
second to none that
is, if you can get in. As
we have recently learned,
tens of thousands of vet-
erans are not getting in.
The House bill and a
similar version in the
Senate would spend hundreds of millions of
dollars to hire more doctors and nurses, but
that may be easier said than done given a
nationwide shortage of primary care physi-
cians.
This is not a problem that is just isolated
to the VA, said Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev.
Its out there in the community.
Primary care physicians are expected to
become increasingly in demand as millions
of people newly insured under the federal
health care law start looking for regular doc-
tors. The Association of American Medical
Colleges has projected that by 2020, there
will be 45,000 too few primary care physi-
cians, as well as a shortage of 46,000 sur-
geons and specialists.
Shortages tend to be worse in both rural
and inner-city areas.
Nevada already has a chronic shortage of
doctors, both in primary care and among
specialists, Titus said. The state ranks 46th
among states and the District of Columbia
for availability of general and family practi-
tioners, she said, and 51st for surgeons.
Congress moving to ensure
speedier care for veterans
By Alan Suderman
RICHMOND, Va. House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor lost in his Republican
primary election Tuesday to a little-known
economics professor, a stunning upset for
the GOPs No. 2 in the House and a major
victory for the tea party.
Cantor, viewed as a possible successor to
House Speaker John Boehner, was taken
down by a political novice with little money
named Dave Brat. His win marked the
biggest triumph this year for tea party sup-
porters who until a few years ago backed
Cantor, a former state legislator who rose to
Majority Leader in 2011.
Obviously we came up short, Cantor told
glum supporters at a suburban Richmond
hotel, conceding the race with his wife,
Diane, at his side.
Serving you as the 7th District congress-
man and having the privilege of being the
majority leader has been the highest honor
of my life, he added.
Jay S. Poole, a Cantor volunteer, said Brat
tapped into widespread frustration among
voters about the gridlock in Washington and
issues such as immigration. I cant tell you
how amazing this is to me, Poole said.
Much of the campaign
centered on immigration,
where critics on both
sides of the debate have
recently taken aim at
Cantor. Brat has accused
him of being a top cheer-
leader for amnesty for
immigrants who are liv-
ing in the U.S. illegally.
Cantor has responded
forcefully by boasting in mailers of block-
ing Senate plans to give illegal aliens
amnesty.
It was a change in tone for Cantor, who has
repeatedly voiced support for giving citizen-
ship to certain immigrants brought illegally
to the country as children. Cantor and House
GOP leaders have advocated a step-by-step
approach, rather than the comprehensive
bill backed by the Senate. Theyve made no
move to bring legislation to a vote and
appear increasingly unlikely to act this year.
Brat had been a thorn in Cantors side
throughout the campaign, casting the con-
gressman as a Washington insider who isnt
conservative enough. Last month, a feisty
crowd of Brat supporters booed Cantor in
front of his family at a local party conven-
tion.

OPINION 9
An obvious answer
Editor,
Regarding Jon Mays June 6 col-
umn, Im surprised that no one has
correctly replied to your question,
Why did people vote for Yee?
Perhaps we should remember how we
vote.
It makes no difference if one votes
by mail or travels to the local
precinct. With the ballot in hand, the
voter follows the list of candidates
and marks the ballot in favor of the
candidates the voter is familiar with.
When the voter reaches the list
where the candidates are unfamiliar he
or she follows down the list until a
candidate is listed as a Democrat.
Leland Yee was on the list and was
running as a Democrat. Afollower
of that political persuasion will, I
expect, look for that label to direct
his vote.
Such a circumstance simply hap-
pened thousands of times. Yee could
have been dead and unlettered
Democrats would vote for Yee.
Here, the badly tainted Yee, received
the votes of uneducated Democrats
who voted in lock step to the partys
gravitational pull.
Heavens! Is it not possible that the
voters learn of the qualities and nega-
tive characteristics of the candidates
to arrive at an independent decision
before reaching for the ballot? The
lazy ones simply look for the party
label.
O. Osborne
Belmont
Reasons for voting for Yee
Editor,
I read Jon Mays June 6 column
about Leland Yee and the confusion he
expressed over those who may have
voted for him. In essence, the ques-
tion question was, Why would any-
one vote for Yee given his circum-
stances?
Perhaps its because those who
voted for him, despite the coverage of
his alleged misdeeds, believe that he
is presumed innocent until proven
guilty.
Yes, he was indicted, but indictment
does not equal guilt (An indictment in
the common-law system is a formal
accusation that a person has commit-
ted a crime).
Yes, he withdrew from the race but,
as weve seen in recent local elec-
tions, the fact that ones name
appears on the ballot will garner
votes, campaign or no campaign.
Remember when Arnold
Schwarzenegger ran for governor?
One-hundred-thirty-ve candidates
were also on the ballot including
Gary Coleman who got 14,000 votes
and porn actress, Mary Carey who
received 11,000 votes, as well as
Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and
comedian Gallagher, to name a few.
I might remind you of Washington,
D.C., mayor Marion Barry, convicted
of narcotics related crimes. He was re-
elected. There are many other exam-
ples.
To be clear, I am not defending Yee.
I am, however, concerned that the
media tends to convict the accused in
the court of public opinion and with-
out the due process of our justice sys-
tem.
Why be amazed that someone listed
on the ballot could garner any votes?
Simply look back. It wont give you
the answer, it might, however, give
you some insight.

Letters to the editor
S
everal San Mateo County
cities are reporting a rosier
budget picture than in years
past. In San Mateo, there is $7.8 mil-
lion more revenue than last scal year
and Foster City is reporting a $1.2
million surplus, however, some of
that may change depending on labor
negotiations.
Aside from Millbrae, which is
reporting that it is spending more
money than it is taking in, other
cities are reporting more revenue than
expenditures.
Thats good news for sure, particu-
larly after years of budget shortfalls
and painful cuts. But those years of
cuts also meant putting off raises for
city employees, asking city employ-
ees to pay more into their benet s
package and putting off capital
improvements like street repairs.
In San Mateo, a quarter-cent sales
tax to help fund city services is set to
expire in 2018 and the city must
begin to make plans for its end. The
city of Belmont has approximately
$100 million in deferred maintenance
to streets, storm system and parks.
So while there is a little more
breathing room, there is no reason to
start breaking out the city checkbook
to fund new programs. It is refreshing
that city ofcials are taking a cautious
approach and recognizing that
reserves must be lled to ensure there
is enough to get by in tough times,
and that new solid streams of revenue
should be spent wisely.
However, as it is in Sacramento,
there is always a push to start new
programs when there is a little bit of
breathing room, or at least fully fund
programs that were cut when the econ-
omy was sour. In Sacramento, Gov.
Jerry Brown is proving to be the bal-
last to such pulls and is constantly
pushing for more reserves and more
caution though even Brown has his
money-sucking pet projects like
high-speed rail and the Delta tunnel
project. Still, the overall attitude of
prudence is refreshing and merited
particularly when the Controllers
Ofce just released his monthly report
Tuesday that showed revenue esti-
mates missing the governors projec-
tions by 5.5 percent, or $389.1 mil-
lion.
The elephant in the room continues
to be pension obligations. Rates are
going up and there are more pensions
to pay for more people who are retir-
ing earlier with higher pensions and
living longer. Until cities get a han-
dle on that debt, there can never truly
be breathing room in any budget.
Increased revenue is largely from
sales and property taxes. While prop-
erty values have largely returned to
the levels pre-recession, there are
fewer sales as inventory remains
sparse. Sales taxes are returning, but
are constantly threatened by online
sales with revenue funneling to other
parts of the country. Hotel taxes are
also on the rise, but do not account
for a large portion of any city budget.
So while revenue is on the rise, its
still just a bit better than it was
before without a large inux project-
ed. And thats OK. Stable is OK, as
long as cities are cautious with their
money. It appears as if they are.
The budgets San Mateo County
cities are outlining are not Gold Rush
budgets like those seen during the
dot-com boom in 1998-2000. It is
those budgets that sparked the pen-
sion obligations in the rst place as
retirement agreements got richer.
Rather, the budgets of today express
an uptick in revenue with strong pro-
jections based on always shaky fore-
casts. City ofcials seem to be treat-
ing it as such, with reservations, with
caution and with the understanding
that we are just one economic calami-
ty away from a downturn again. And
thats nice to see, particularly when
there are always pulls for more spend-
ing in disparate and manifold ways.
Exercises in budgetary caution
What about
Fathers Day?
O
ur failure to acknowledge fathers importance
is now reected in the shape of the American
family. Fathers are disappearing. Fewer
American fathers are participating in the lives of their chil-
dren now than at any time since the U.S. began keeping
records. Paul Raeburns brand-new book, Do Fathers
Matter?
Every year on Mothers Day, we join all of our kids and
their families and many other relatives for a special buffet
brunch downstairs at the Terrace Caf at the El Rancho Inn
in Millbrae. We mothers enjoy it immensely and always go
home with several bouquets of owers to commemorate the
day.
This year, after we n-
ished eating, 8-year-old
granddaughter Madeleine
came over to where I was
sitting to chat. She com-
mented on how many peo-
ple were there to celebrate
Mothers Day and then she
asked, Do they do this for
fathers, too? After I told
her that they dont, she
asked, Why not? Thats a
good question. Madeleine
certainly has a point. She
has a very devoted and
involved dad who certainly
deserves all of the kudos of Fathers Day.
Later that day, my mind wandered to a time a several years
ago that Ted and I were vacationing in Yosemite over
Fathers Day weekend. When we werent appreciating nature
as we rode our bikes around the valley oor or picnicking
in a meadow, we had a lot of time for people watching. One
particular evening, I noticed that there were a lot of fami-
lies with small children lingering around the restaurant
area, apparently, like us, waiting for the restaurants to
open. While we were sitting there, it was fascinating to
watch how some of the fathers (presumed) interacted with
their children. Im sure you can decide which of these
fathers below should be lauded.
Over by the ranger program area where children like to
play while they wait, I noticed a father with a toddler on
each hand gleefully leaping from the stage to the ground
(about 12 inches). Over and over again they enthusiastical-
ly repeated the feat and when one child bumped her shin,
the father sat down and held her while he sympathetically
brushed away her tears. Soon mother called and they
skipped away.
Abit later, the cries of a baby caught our attention.
Storming out of the bar came a man carrying a screaming
baby of about 8 months on one hip and his unnished drink
in his free hand. The father was obviously angry, possibly
incensed that his happy hour had been interrupted by that
awful brat. Who knows why the baby was so distressed,
but the father was obviously not interested in comforting
the child.
I noticed a man and a little girl sitting on a large rock
near an area that had been roped off for preservation and
renewal. Dad was patiently explaining why the girl should-
nt play in the meadow or pick the owers. When a Stellers
jay hopped close to them, no doubt hoping for a bit of the
cookie the girl held, Dad threw him a crumb (on the path) as
they marveled together about the beautiful bird.
Then I saw a father and a small boy sitting near the pool.
The child found a stick that he immediately transformed
into a rearm. Waving it wildly in the air and then pointing
at his dad, he shouted, Bang, bang, Daddy, youre dead!
Look, said unperturbed Daddy, Shoot that bird up there.
Shoot that squirrel. Get the other bird. Mother arrived and
the three walked away as the boy continued his imaginary
slaughter.
Achild whose father is patient, kind, understanding,
responsible and involved is blessed. Children whose
fathers are still children themselves, who shame them, are
impatient with them, who expect their children to live up
to unrealistic expectations, who punish them severely,
and/or do not support them or are not in their lives, are
very unfortunate. Afathers healthy bond with his child
benets both child and dad. An involved, loving father has
a profound effect, giving girls a model of an all-together
male, but especially upon boys, who benet greatly from a
positive male role model.
Fatherhood is about helping children become happy and
healthy adults who are at ease in the world and prepared to
become fathers and mothers themselves. We often say that
doing our best for our kids is more important than anything
else we do. Whats best for our kids should always include a
role for fathers. Raeburn.
What shall we do for the dads in our family for this
Fathers Day, Madeleine?

NEW YORK A run of record
highs in the stock market came to an
end Tuesday as the Standard & Poors
500 index lost ground for just the
second time this month.
The slight loss for the index broke
a four-day string of all-time highs.
Shares of RadioShack sank after the
retailers losses deepened, and
MetLife rose after the insurer
announced a plan to buy back its own
stock.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
slipped 0.48 of point, or 0.02 per-
cent, to close at 1,950.79 on a quiet
day for trading.
The most widely used benchmark
for mutual funds closed at an all-time
high on Monday, its fourth record
high in a row.
Six industry groups in the S&P 500
fell and four rose Tuesday, though
none moved by more than 0.3 per-
cent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 2.82 points, or 0.02 percent, to
16,945.92, while the Nasdaq picked
up 1.75 points, or 0.04 percent, to
4, 338.
After slumping earlier this year, the
stock market has been on a slow and
steady climb since April. In recent
weeks, a number of encouraging eco-
nomic reports have helped push the
S&P 500 to a series of record highs
and left the index up 5.5 percent for
the year. Some analysts argue that
this success rests on shaky ground.
Ive never seen a rally that has
been so hated and mistrusted before,
said Dan Veru, chief investment offi-
cer at Palisade Capital Management.
People ask me, Why is the stock
market up? When should I bail out
before the next crash?
Veru said one reason for the mis-
trust is that most people dont feel
like the economy is strong enough.
Its slow but improving and if
youre a stock investor, that implies
higher corporate profits and, eventu-
ally, higher stock prices, he said.
Before the market opened Tuesday,
RadioShack posted a deeper quarterly
loss than analysts had expected.
Sales fell as the retailer tries to
remake its image. RadioShack
dropped 16 cents, or 10 percent, to
$1. 38.
MetLife announced plans to buy its
own shares, aiming to spend up to $1
billion. The news sent MetLife up 39
cents, or 0.7 percent, to $55.05.
More evidence of an improving
economy came Tuesday when the
government reported that whole-
salers added to their stockpiles of
goods in April, a move that suggests
they anticipate stronger growth. A
separate report showed that the num-
ber of job openings climbed to 4.5
million in April, the highest figure
since September 2007. The increase
could be a hint of stronger hiring in
the months ahead.
The labor market recovery looks
for real, Chris Rupkey, chief finan-
cial economist at the Bank of Tokyo-
Mitsubishi, wrote in a note to
clients. The economy is better than
you think.
In the market for U.S. government
bonds, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury inched up to 2.64 percent
from 2.61 percent late Monday.
Yields rise when bond prices fall. The
price of oil fell 6 cents to settle at
$104.35 a barrel.
S&P slips, ending four-day run of record highs
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:

RadioShack Corp., down 16 cents to $1.38
Same-store sales plunged and the electronics retailer drew down its

The price of oil slipped a few pennies
Tuesday as the outlook for rising demand
was offset by expectations of sufcient sup-
plies.
Benchmark U.S. oil for July delivery fell
6 cents to close at $104.35 in New York. On
Monday, oil gained $1.75 to close at
$104.41.
Brent crude, a benchmark for internation-
al oils used by many U.S. reneries, fell 47
cents to close at $109.52 a barrel in
London.
Recent economic indicators around the
world suggest stronger global growth that
could boost demand for crude. Japan raised
its estimate of gross domestic product for
the rst quarter of this year. Hiring in the
U.S. appeared solid for the fourth month.
And Chinas export growth accelerated in
May.
While that has pushed up the price of oil
in recent days, the gains seem to have
topped out Tuesday. The various economic
releases havent been consistent enough or
sufciently pronounced to force signicant
upward adjustment in global demand, wrote
energy analyst Jim Ritterbusch in a note to
clients Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO Google is buying
Skybox Imaging in a deal that could serve as
a launching pad for the Internet company to
send its own eet of satellites to take aerial
pictures and provide online access to remote
areas of the world.
The $500 million acquisition announced
Tuesday initially will provide Google with
the means to improve the quality and imme-
diacy of the satellite imagery used in its dig-
ital maps.
Google Inc. plans to use Skyboxs satel-
lite already in orbit to supplement the mate-
rial that it licenses from more than 1,000
sources, including other satellite companies
such as DigitalGlobe and Astrium.
Eventually, though, Skybox could turn
into another Google moonshot a term
that CEO Larry Page has embraced for
describing ambitious projects that could
take several years to materialize.
Google hopes to build more satellites that
could be used to beam Internet access to
points around the world.

There will be at least one familiar face at
College of San Mateo when the school hosts
the 2014 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field
National Championships June 20-22.
Gary Dilley has been a face of the Peninsula
track and eld scene for the better part of three
decades. As a former competitor, coach,
administrator and general
track helper, Dilley is
willing to do whatever it
takes to have an event run
smoothly.
Im just waiting for
(CSM track coach Joe
Mangan) to tell me what to
do, said Dilley, who
served as the schools ath-
letic director from 1988 to 2006, and who
also coached the track program for several
years in the 1990s.
Dilley has been a xture in the long jump
pits for a long time and he expects to have a
similar position next weekend.
I think Ill be in charge of the pits, Dilley
said. I rake the sand really well.
By the time the meet concludes, the athletes
will hope to have similar face recognition.
There are two sessions scheduled for rst two
days of the competition and just one, 9 a.m. to
noon, on Sunday, June 22. The rst day,
Friday, June 20, will go from 8 a.m. to noon
and then again from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturdays
rst session will run from 10 a.m. to noon,
with the second from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. The early
sessions will be primarily used as preliminary

San Antonio forward Kawhi Leonard shoots over Miami Chris Bosh on his way to a
game-high 29 points in the Spurs 111-92 win over the Heat in Game 3 of the NBAFinals.
By Brian Mahoney
MIAMI Kawhi Leonard and San Antonio
Spurs shot their way into history and back
into the lead in the NBAFinals.
Leonard scored a career-high 29 points, and
the Spurs made a nals-record 75.8 percent of
their shots in the rst half in a 111-92 victory
over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night that
gave them a 2-1 lead.
The Spurs made 19 of their rst 21 shots and
nished 25 of 33 in the rst half, bettering the
75 percent shooting by Orlando against the
Lakers in the 2009 nals.
I dont think well ever shoot 76 percent in
a half ever again, Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich said.
The Spurs led by as much as 25 and were only
briey challenged in their second lopsided vic-
tory in the series.
Unlike Game 1, when they didnt pull away
until the nal minutes, the Spurs were up big
before halftime in this one.
Returning to the arena where they were oh-
so-close to winning a fth championship last
year, the Spurs came out playing like they were
trying to build a lead that was impossible to
blow.
They shot 13 of 15 and led 41-25 lead after
the rst quarter, then hit their rst six shots of
the second in front of a stunned crowd in Miami
to go ahead 55-30.
Leonard scored only 18 points in the rst
two games, looking frustrated while getting
into foul trouble trying to defend James in
Game 2. But he had his outside shot working
early and the effect on the Spurs offense was
obvious. He made his rst six shots and n-
ished 10 of 13 from the eld.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had 22
points for the Heat, who host Game 4 on
Thursday.
The last three NBA seasons ended in this
building, the last two followed by Heat cham-
pionship parades.
The Spurs nearly canceled the last one, build-
ing a ve-point lead in the nal half-minute of

OAKLAND Bob Welch, the 1990 ALCy
Young Award winner with the Oakland
Athletics and the last major leaguer to win
at least 25 games in a season, has died. He
was 57.
Welch died late Monday night at his
Southern California home in Seal Beach,
the team said Tuesday.
Police said officers
responded to a call for
medical aid and found
Welch dead in the bath-
room area.
Authorities have not
released the cause of
death. The coroner was
awaiting toxicology test
results, which can take eight to 12 weeks,
said Lt. Jeffrey Hallock, spokesman for the
Orange County Sheriffs Department.
Welch was known best for his famous bat-
tles with Reggie Jackson in the World
Series and alcohol addiction.
The two-time All-Star was an admitted
alcoholic early in his career and spent time
in rehabilitation. He later co-authored a
book with George Vecsey about his addic-
tion titled Five OClock Comes Early: A
Ballplayers Battle With Alcoholism.
The fact is, Im crazy when Im drunk,
Welch said in the book. Theres every
chance I would have been dead by now if I
was drinking.

All Keith Spataro does is win.
Where he nds the time to do it all? Thats
part of the mystery of what makes Menlo
Colleges athletic director so good.
Wednesday, Spataro is being honored for
being the best at what he does as recipient of
the Under Armour Athletic Director of the
Year for the NAIA. He is one of ve recipi-
ents nationwide, with one
for each level of colle-
giate athletics, including
Divisions I, II, III and
community college.
You never expect acco-
lades like this, Spataro
said. Theres so many
schools out there and so
many A.D.s out there.
So, of course it was sur-
prising. But the way our
student-athletes prepare and the way our
coaches prepare, its not surprising from
that standpoint. This award is directly related
to their effort. And Ill take my staff over
anybody in the country.
Spataro has served as Menlo Colleges
athletic director since 2008. He was promot-
ed to the post on an interim basis while he
served his nal year as head coach of the
mens wrestling team a program he started
upon his being hired prior to the 2001 sea-
son. In 2009, he stepped down as wrestling
coach to take over as the fulltime athletic
director. Menlo College currently has 12
teams six mens and six womens and
with an enrollment of 750 is the smallest
college with a football team in the nation.
Despite our size we have a really good
thing going, Spataro said. We have highly
committed coaches and highly committed
student athletes. Even though were a small
college, our kids and our coaches give just as
much as the school down the street at
Stanford.

Former Burlingame closer Vince Arobio
made his debut with the Matsu Miners of the
Alaska Baseball League Monday, impress-
ing with two solid innings of work.
The right-hander entered in the seventh
inning with Matsu leading 9-1 against the
Chugiak Chinooks. Arobio yielded one run
on one hit with two walks. In the ninth,
after Arobio departed, Chugiak rallied for
ve runs in its nal at-bat, but the Miners
held on to win it 10-7.
Matsu is off to a 2-0 start under manager
Ben Taylor. And Arobio made a good
impression on his new skipper.
[Arobio] was great. He was 88-90 and the
slider was good, Taylor said. He gave up a
nothing run but he was fantastic.
As manager of the Chandler-Gilbert
Community College baseball team in
Arizona during the regular season, Taylor
knows pitching. The Coyotes touted a pair
of exceptional right-handers this season in
sophomores Jon Ferrendelli (7-2 record
with a 1.38 ERA and 100
strikeouts over 91
innings) and David Carr
(4-1 with three saves, a
1.20 ERA and 69 strike-
outs over 60 innings).
And with Arobio look-
ing to develop a slider
over the two-month ABL
season to compliment an
effective fastball-
changeup combination, the right-hander
seems to be ahead of the curve literally.
While he doesnt throw a traditional slider,
he whips his three-quarter high arm slot
with a traditional curveball grip. This
results in a breaking pitch which snaps late
across the plate with the action of a slider.
I liked it, Taylor said. I think the way
his arm slot is hes not going to get on
top of it and 12-6 snap it.
Nonetheless, Taylor described the break
on Arobios slide piece as a super tight, hard
curve.
After settling in as a mainstay reliever as
a freshman at University of the Pacic this
season, Arobio said he dreams of ultimately
becoming a starting pitcher. Hence the rea-
son developing a third pitch is so critical.
Whereas there was a time when it was rare
that college relievers got minimal attention
from pro scouts, the new math of prospect-
ing has changed dramatically in recent
years. Taylor pointed out Mississippi State
left-hander Jacob Lindgren, who played
summer ball for him two years ago with the
East Texas Pumpjacks of the Texas
Collegiate League.
Lindgren was a second-round selection of
the New York Yankees in last weeks Major
League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. An
undersized pitcher at 5-11, the southpaw
worked exclusively in relief at Mississippi
State this season, pacing the team with 26
appearances while striking out 100 in 55
1/3 innings.
While Arobio doesnt throw the ball by
batters at nearly at high a rate, he has the
potential to feature the same three-pitch
repertoire fastball, changeup and slider
upon which Lindgren thrives.
As for the relievers mentality, Arobio
seems to have a rm grasp on it.
Youve got to kind of have that re men-
tality because obviously youre going to
come in in some sticky situations, Arobio
said. Youve just got to be able to compete
really well.
Arobio has come a long way in a short
time. After two years as a varsity shortstop
in his sophomore and junior seasons at
Burlingame, he began two-way duty as a
senior, serving as the Panthers closer in
his rst ever full season on the mound. He
soon put himself on the map as a Division-
I talent and was recruited to play on partial
scholarship at Pacific as a freshman in
2014.
Now, in taking up with the ABLs Miners,
Arobio is looking to establish his prospect
stock in one of the top collegiate summer
leagues in North America, along with the
Northwoods League and the elite Cape Cod
League.
Thats the three-headed monster, Taylor
said.
So, yes, Arobio is in a good position to
turn some heads.

OMAHA, Neb. The array of teams set
for the College World Series beginning this
week could leave the impression that col-
lege baseball has become an equal-opportu-
nity sport.
Whether it has evolved or devolved is a
matter of opinion.
I played in Omaha in 1960 and 1961 (for
USC), and you could name on both hands all
the schools in the country that were playing
good baseball, UC Irvine coach Mike
Gillespie said. You couldnt name all the
schools playing good baseball now if you
had 10 sets of hands. I think thats good.
Skip Bertman, who retired as LSUs coach
in 2001 after winning ve national titles,
isnt so sure.
The product now is the poster sport for
parity, he said. That may make some peo-
ple happy. In my opinion, its watered
down.
People in the game say scholarship reduc-
tions, roster limits and bats lacking punch
account for the competitive balance. They
also point to a growing number of schools,
including some in cold-weather areas,
spending more money on baseball.
Texas, which will be in Omaha a record
35th time, offers a nod to the days when
only a handful of teams had a legitimate
chance to win the national championship.
The seven other teams represent relative
newcomers to the college games biggest
stage.
Texas Tech will be here for the rst time;
Vanderbilt, UC Irvine and TCU for the sec-
ond time; Louisville and Virginia for the
third time; and Mississippi for the fth time
but rst since 1972.
Of the eight national seeds that started the
64-team tournament two weeks ago, only
No. 3 Virginia and No. 7 TCU are left. Thats
the fewest to advance to the CWS since the
tournament went to its current format in
1999.
You dont let a team in just because of a
name. You have to earn it, said Dennis
Poppe, the NCAAs top administrator for
the CWS from 1987-2013. You still like to
see the old standbys, the traditional teams.
But you get a little mix of everything here.
Thats what makes it cool.

Fresno State won the national title as a No.
4 regional seed, the equivalent of a No. 13

SAN FRANCISCO Doug Fister ipped
the script from his previous start in San
Francisco during the 2012 World Series,
tossing seven scoreless innings to help the
Washington Nationals beat Madison
Bumgarner and the Giants 2-1 on Tuesday
night.
Bumgarner and the Giants foiled Fister and
the Detroit Tigers 2-0 in Game 2 of their
Series sweep. The rematch at AT&T Park
played out in Fisters favor.
Jayson Werth and Denard Span each drove
in a run during a two-run fifth to snap
Bumgarners career-best, six-game winning
streak. Werth also threw out a runner at the
plate from right eld in the sixth.
Fister (5-1) allowed eight hits, struck out
three and walked one for his fth straight
win.
Brandon Crawford tripled leading off the
ninth and scored on Brandon Hicks ground-
out for San Franciscos only run.
Tyler Clippard escaped a jam in the eighth
and Rafael Soriano rebounded in the ninth
for his 13th save this season. Washington
has won three in a row and nine of 11.
The Nationals stopped San Franciscos
ve-game winning streak with a 9-2 victory
in Mondays series opener. And they contin-
ued to slow down the team with the best
record in baseball by beating its hottest
pitcher on a windy, chilly night in San
Franciscos waterfront ballpark.
Span drove in a run with a sacrice y and
Werth singled home another against
Bumgarner in the fth. It was all Washington
needed to end Bumgarners winning streak.
Bumgarner (8-4) allowed eight hits in
seven innings. He struck out ve and walked
one intentionally.
The tall left-hander with the deceptive fast-
ball was selected NL player of the month for
May after going 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA. He
hadnt lost since April 28 against San
Diego.
It was a far better feeling for Fister than his
last start in San Francisco, which came on a
warm October evening in 2012. He was
struck squarely in the head by Gregor
Blancos line drive in the World Series, a ball
hit so hard it caromed into shallow center
eld, though the 6-foot-8 pitcher appeared
unhurt and stayed in the game.
Every time the Giants put together a few
hits in the rematch, Fister exed his best
stuff and so did his new club.
In the third, San Francisco put two runners
on before Buster Posey struck out. Pablo
Sandoval, who nished with three hits and a
walk, and Michael Morse singled to start the
fourth before Fister induced three consecu-
tive youts.
In the sixth, Sandoval doubled and tried to
score on Crawfords two-out single to right.
Instead, Werth charged in to eld the hard-hit
ball and easily threw out the portly Sandoval
at the plate.
Clippard allowed two baserunners with
one out in the eighth before completing his
20th consecutive scoreless inning.
NOTES: Nationals 3B Anthony Rendon
returned to the lineup after sitting out the
past three games with a sore right hand. He
singled twice, struck out and ied out. ...
Giants RHP Santiago Casilla, on the dis-
abled list with a strained right hamstring, is
scheduled to toss one inning at Class-ASan
Jose on Thursday and two innings Saturday.

SAO PAULO While some World Cup
teams whine about withering weather and
troublesome travel, American players say:
Bring it on!
European teams worry they will wilt. The
United States considers cauldron-like cli-
mates a regular nishing touch, as if the
Americans were a Baked Alaska ambe.
And if FIFAadded a Road Warrior prize to
the Golden Ball, Golden Boot and Golden
Glove, the U.S. would be assured of taking
home an award.
When you talk about playing in the heat,
the travel, it doesnt bother us, midelder
Michael Bradley said Tuesday. And not
only does it not bother us, it excites us to
see that now the other teams are so worried
about it.
The Americans have the lengthiest rst-
round trek among the 32 teams at 8,800 air
miles, chartering roundtrip ights from Sao
Paulo to Natal (1,420 each way), Manaus
(1,680) and Recife (1,300).
Thats quite a contrast to four years ago,
where the U.S. had the shortest group-stage
travel in South Africa. To reach their games,
the Americans took bus rides from Irene to
Rustenburg (62 miles each way),
Johannesburg (24) and Pretoria (11) for a
total of 194 miles. They needed to pack a
weekender only once during the rst round,
burrowing at their base hotel for the second
and third matches.
This year theyll change cities and cli-
mates repeatedly. Tuesdays training ses-
sion at Sao Paulo Futebol Clube started in a
62-degree temperature with a cooling driz-
zle, but the Americans games up north g-
ure to be played in the mid-80s or higher.
And extreme humidity could make each sta-
dium feel like a sauna.
Accustomed to an August-through-May
club schedule in Europe, where players use
gloves and fans insulate in thermals, some
soccer ofcials fret. No European nation has
won a World Cup played in the Americas,
where Brazil has taken three titles, and
Argentina and Uruguay two apiece.
Before the World Cup draw in December,
England coach Roy Hodgson called the
Amazon rain forest city of Manaus prob-
lematic and said you have a better chance
if you get one of the venues where the cli-
mate is kinder.
Its going to be incredibly humid and
hot, Germany coach Joachim Loew said.
We must get used to it, in training and
preparing.
The U.S. opens Monday with a 7 p.m. (3
p.m. PDT) match against Ghana in Natal.
The AccuWeather forecast calls for a daytime
high in the mid-80s, dropping into the 70s
in the evening with a couple showers possi-
ble.
The Americans next play in Manaus for a
3 p.m. game against Cristiano Ronaldo and
Portugal on June 22. The extended forecast
calls for temperatures in the high-80s that
day.
The U.S. completes group play against
three-time champion Germany in a 1 p.m.
(9 a.m. PDT) match in Recife, a port city,
where temperatures are typically in the low-
80s.
While that might be unfamiliar for
natives of Munich and Mannheim, its
rather routine for the red, white and blue.
I lived 4 1/2 years in Houston, and thats
100 degrees every single day with humidity
plus, defender Geoff Cameron said, so if
you can survive that, you can survive any-
thing.
Europeans complained about heat during
the 1970 and 86 World Cups in Mexico and
were stunned by a heat wave in 1994 that
turned matches into endurance tests at the
Cotton Bowl in Dallas and the Rose Bowl in
Pasadena, California. Jurgen Klinsmann
scored twice as defending champion
Germany built a three-goal lead against
South Korea, then held on for a 3-2 win.
Klinsmann, now the U.S. coach, learned
from that and the February 2013 opener in
the nal round of World Cup qualifying,
when the Americans went to Central
America and wilted during the second half of
a 2-1 loss.
Dallas at 120 degrees at 12 oclock kick-
off time because of TV rights to Europe was
an experience, he said. You want to make
sure that youre hydrated. You want to make
sure that youre not cramping up, similar to
that experience in Honduras in San Pedro
Sula.
The American players who are veterans of
Major League Soccer are used to changing
three time zones on coast-to-coast trips.
Thats the hope, that now something
thats being talked about in a negative way
with a lot of other teams is something that
we can use to our advantage, Bradley main-
tained. Jurgen said it best: Its going to be
a World Cup of patience, of knowing how to
deal with the elements, of being able to suf-
fer at times, and so I think were excited by
it.
The heat will be on, and the U.S. is happy
By David Ginsburg
BALTIMORE Manny Machado gured
he might be suspended for intentionally
throwing his bat on the eld while at the
plate.
What the Baltimore Orioles third baseman
didnt expect is that the punishment would
be so harsh.
Machado received a ve-game suspension
and an undisclosed ne Tuesday for tossing
his bat in Sundays game against Oakland.
He has appealed the suspension, which
was slated to start immediately. Machado
was in the starting lineup Tuesday against
Boston.
I dont want to be down for ve days,
Machado said. Were just going to go ahead
and get that down, and thats it. Need to try
to help out this team in
any way.
Machado let his bat y
toward third base after
swinging at a pitch from
Fernando Abad in the
eighth inning. The bat-
toss came during a plate
appearance in which Abad
threw successive high-
and-tight pitches.
After the bat went soar-
ing, both benches emptied. Machado and
Abad were ejected.
Abad was ned but not suspended Tuesday.
I dont really care, Machado said. Hes
part of the Oakland As organization and Im
a Baltimore Oriole. I know what I did and he
knows what he did. We both got to pay the
consequences.
Machado, however, isnt prepared to sit
out ve games yet. His hearing could
take place next week in New York, or he
could drop the appeal as soon as Wednesday.
Well see what tomorrow brings,
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said
Tuesday. I think right now hes going to
appeal and take 24 hours to think about the
next step.
Plus, probably the most important thing
for him right now is make sure he puts the
club in a position in case we make an adjust-
ment in our roster. Its a little short notice
to get somebody here if he started (the sus-
pension) tonight.
Machado apologized to his teammates
Monday for twice losing his temper during
the three-game series against Oakland.
On Friday night, he yelled in the face of
Oaklands Josh Donaldson after the third
baseman tagged him on the chest, knocking
Machado off his feet.
The dugouts also emptied after that con-
frontation.
Its been a frustrating last couple days,
Machado said. Were just going to try to
put this behind us.
Showalter agreed.
Hes a 21-year-old young man that made
a mistake, and hes done the right thing
since then to move forward with it the way
its supposed to be done, the manager said.
Now there are some more steps involved
before we can put it behind us.
Orioles rst baseman Chris Davis thought
it might be prudent for Machado to accept
the sentence and turn the page.
Personally, I would kind of let it go
away. Im not in his shoes. Its easy to say
that on the outside looking in, Davis said.
You screw up, you have to deal with the
consequences. Hell deal with it and move
on. Weve already moved on.
Orioles Machado suspended for 5 games, appeals

seed in college basketball. Another came in
2012, with Stony Brook and Kent State crash-
ing the party. Last year, Indiana made its rst
CWS appearance.
Now consider that teams like Kennesaw
State and College of Charleston made it
through regionals this year while the top two
national seeds, Oregon State and Florida, did
not.
Key events in the move toward parity: the
NCAAs capping baseball scholarships at
11.7 per team in 1991 and limiting rosters to
35 players in 2008. Talent once hoarded by
the big baseball schools in the South and
West began to spread out.
Another factor was the change in bats stem-
ming from concern beginning in the late
1990s that the game had become too offen-
sive. The bats were redesigned to reduce
power, making dominant teams less so.
Since current bat standards went into effect
in 2011, offensive numbers have hit lows not
seen since the wooden-bat era. Next year, in
hopes of goosing the offense, the raised-seam
ball will be replaced by the at-seam ball.
Research has shown that the at-seam ball
travels farther and faster because wind resist-
ance is decreased.
Im not one that has gotten as exercised as
some and lament the lack of offense, UC
Irvines Gillespie said. I dont perceive that
people are running away from the game.
ESPNs family of networks carried more
than 200 regular-season games this season
most through its broadband ESPN3 network
and for the second straight year is televis-
ing every game of the NCAAtournament.
Bertman said he worries for the future of the
college game because fans can no longer
relate to year-in, year-out power programs
like they can in football and basketball. Plus,
he said, the style of play isnt as appealing as
it once was.
A bunch of bunting and singles and drib-
blers, Bertman called it.
The base hit with a man on second and two
outs should still be a big part of our game, and
so should the ability to score four runs in one
inning, he said. Those things are taken
away from us by this weak bat and the parity
we have.

COLLEGE
With the Athletic Director of the Year
honor being presented at a formal banquet
Wednesday night in Orlando, Fla., the trip
will serve as something of a homecoming
for Spataro, a native of St. Petersburg,
Florida.
Its going to be nice, Spataro said. All
my family is still back there and quite a few
of them are going to be in attendance. Its
going to be a good time.
As a multisport athlete at Seminole High
School, Spataro excelled in wrestling. It was
there he met then-Skyline College head
coach Lee Allen at a wrestling clinic. Also
having a high school coach in Herb Weller
who was an alumnus of Skyline, the wheels
went into motion to see Spataro relocate to
the Bay Area after graduating from Seminole
in 1988. He has been a xture of San Mateo
County athletics ever since.
In his freshman season at Skyline,
Spataro earned his rst of four consecutive
collegiate All-American honors. He earned
two at Skyline and two more after transfer-
ring to San Francisco State.
Skyline College connection
When Keith wrestled, [the Skyline
wrestling team was] probably at the height
of their success, said Andreas Wolf, athletic
director at College of San Mateo. Keith
himself was a phenomenal student-athlete
and was one of the better athletes at Skyline
at the time he was wrestling.
Wolf was the head coach of the Skyline
mens soccer team when Spataro took over
for Allen as the schools wrestling head
coach in 1994. It was an intensely busy time
in Spataros career, as he also coached at San
Mateo High School from 1990-95. During
that time he was waiting tables at a San
Bruno hotspot. He also worked with devel-
oping youth for an AAU team. Towards the
end of his tenure at Skyline, he coached at
Burlingame High School from 1998-00.
Whatever hes touched has turned to
gold, Wolf said. Whether he was on the
mat wrestling, or whether he was coaching,
or whether he was an administrator. All the
things hes been involved in have been
highly successful. Hes been good wherever
hes been or wherever hes gone.
In his eight years at the helm of Trojans
wrestling, Spataro coached a number of All-
Americans, starting in his inaugural season
with the recruitment of his younger brother,
Nick, who has since gone into coaching as
the head of the football and wrestling squads
at Dixie Hollins High School in his home-
town of St. Petersburg.
I didnt get to see him compete at all in
high school because I was in California and
in college, Spataro said. So, the opportu-
nity to coach him was really a unique and a
great situation.
A new challenge
When Wolf took over as Skylines athletic
director in 2000, one of his rst orders of busi-
ness was to replace Spataro, who departed for
Menlo College for the opportunity to start the
Oaks wrestling program from scratch.
To start something from scratch and put
your thumbprint on it and build it from the
ground up was really enticing, Spataro said.
Its one thing to take a bad program and make
it good but taking something from zero and
making it good was just something not a lot of
people could do. There werent a lot of
wrestling programs starting up across the coun-
try. So, from that perspective it was exciting.
The foundation upon which Spataro built the
Menlo College wrestling program was commu-
nity-college recruitment. But he was able to ll
an entire wrestling squad of 40-plus competi-
tors in his rst season of 2001.
That was very intentional, Spataro said.
We wanted to be competitive right away. We
knew that was our opportunity. And then in
time we would start to recruit more freshmen.
And we did.
And Spataros Oaks saw instant success. In
2001, they nished ranked eighth overall in
the nation. In 2002, they ranked fourth. In
2003, they ranked second.
It wasnt easy, Spataro said. We had to
work like crazy to get them. But we were able to
put together a competitive team right away.
Recognizing the best
At present there are just two wrestlers in the
Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame. The rst
inductee ever, Saul Lucatero, was enshrined in
2008. Current Menlo College mens wrestling
head coach Joey Martinez was inducted in 2012.
Theres still a lot of people out there that
need to be in the Hall of Fame, Spataro said.
With wrestling only being around since 2001
their times coming. Some of the wrestlers
weve had have been the best athletes the
school has ever seen in 85 years. But well get
to them.
Three Hall of Fame inductees are being named
this week, none of whom were wrestlers. So for
now, Menlo College wrestling will have to set-
tle for its former coach being honored as the
best NAIA athletic director in the nation. But
rest assured, Spataro has plenty left in the tank
to ensure the legacy of program he built from
scratch.

regulation of Game 6, a title seeming so cer-
tain that workers were already making
preparations around the court.
But the Heat rallied to win in overtime and
took Game 7, leaving the Spurs with a sum-
mer to think about the one that got away.
Theyre in good shape to get another
chance.
With the league scrapped the 2-3-2 format
for the NBA Finals in which the lower
seed played three consecutive home games
the Spurs would have a chance to wrap it
up in San Antonio on Sunday in Game 5 if
they can win Thursday.
Chris Bosh took only four points and
scored nine points for the Heat, who for the
second straight year will have to overcome
a 2-1 nals decit after being blown out in
Game 3.
This rout came on their home oor, where
they had been 8-0 this postseason and had
won a franchise-record 11 in a row since the
Spurs beat them in Game 1 last year.
Manu Ginobili scored 11 for the Spurs,
who dropped Game 2 thanks to some mis-
takes down the stretch, then rebounded with
a level of ruthless execution that had never
been seen before.
They inserted Boris Diaw into the lineup,
countering Miamis small lineup and creat-
ing more ball movement that clearly helped
Leonard. The game got off to a crisp start,
with the Spurs making their rst ve shots
and Miami opening 4 for 4.
Turned out San Antonio was just getting
started.
Coach Erik Spoelstra said he would keep
communicating with James as he did in
Game 2 to make sure there were no lingering
problems from the cramps that forced him
to miss the nal minutes of the opener.
But there was no way he could rest James
early because James was the only one keep-
ing the Heat in the game. He had 14 of their
rst 20 points, but even James couldnt
keep up with the Spurs pace.
The Spurs came out at a different gear
than what we were playing at, and it just
seemed we were on our heels the most part of
the rst half, Spoelstra said.
Miami cut it 14 late in the rst half, but
the Spurs closed with a 9-2 burst to make it
71-50.
The Heat nally got into it in the third,
running off 10 straight points to cut a 17-
point decit to 81-74 on a drive by Norris
Cole, who had replaced an ineffective Mario
Chalmers.
That was as close as Miami would get, as
the Spurs pulled away in the fourth.
Not es: Wade appeared in his 150th post-
season game and passed Dirk Nowitzki
(3,455 points) for 17th on the postseason
scoring list. ... The Heat fell to 68-20 in the
postseason at American Airlines Arena.
Their .782 winning percentage entering the
game trailed only the Lakers .792 mark at
Staples Center.
NBA
Ronaldo returns,
Portugal routs Irish 5-1
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Hugo
Almeida scored the goals. Cristiano
Ronaldo was the star.
Almeidas two first-half goals paced
Portugal to a 5-1 victory over Ireland on
Tuesday, the teams nal friendly before
heading to Brazil for the World Cup. But it
was Ronaldo the overwhelmingly partisan
Portuguese crowd of 46,063 at MetLife
Stadium came to see.
With many in the crowd wearing
Portuguese jerseys, most of them embla-
zoned with Ronaldos customary No. 7, they
cheered his every touch, the rst of which
came less than a minute after the opening
kickoff. He sprinted from mideld before
hitting a low shot that Irish keeper David
Forde easily handled.
After much publicized injuries to his left
knee and thigh that kept him sidelined since
May 24 when he helped Real Madrid over
Atletico in the Champions League nal,
Portuguese fans and coach Paulo Bento
were happy to see him back.
Its important, Bento said through a
translator. Players like Ronaldo are de-
nitely important for any team they play for,
and such is the case ourselves. So its good
for us to have him back.
Each time Ronaldo neared the ball, the
noise level crescendoed. One of his biggest
ovations came when he left the game in the
65th minute for Nani, one of four simultane-
ous substitutions for Portugal.

NEWYORK The gravity of the
situation was etched on the face of
New York Rangers coach Alain
Vigneault. One more loss
Wednesday night to the Los
Angeles Kings and his squad gets
the distinction of being swept in
the Stanley Cup nals.
No team has been swept in the
nals since Detroit did it to
Washington in 1998, completing a
run of four straight Stanley Cup
sweeps. So while the Kings are try-
ing to close out the series, New
Yorks focus is strictly on moving
past disappointment and getting
back to LAfor Game 5.
Were down 3-0. Were all lack-
ing sleep. This is tough, Vigneault
said on a day of optional practices.
I didnt expect my players today to
be cheery and upbeat. Were in the
Stanley Cup nals and were down
3-0. You dont get a lot of these
opportunities.
Excuse us if today were not real
cheery, but tomorrow I can tell you
were going to show up.
The only levity expressed after
the Rangers were beaten 3-0 at
home by goalie Jonathan Quick and
the Kings was when Vigneault was
asked what his team could do differ-
ently at Madison Square Garden.
Score, he said.
The packed room of reporters
laughed. Vigneault didnt .
The present predicament makes it
seem long ago that the Rangers led
by two goals in the series opener,
and then held a trio of two-goal
leads in Game 2. Both of those
ended with overtime wins by Los
Angeles that sparked the Kings and
demoralized New York.
Getting blanked in the rst
Stanley Cup nals game at the
Garden since the Rangers last won
the Cup in 1994 only made them
feel worse.
I do believe we can turn this
around. I do, Rangers goalie
Henrik Lundqvist said, because
weve been that close in every
game.
Even in the shutout loss, the
Rangers outshot the Kings 32-15.
They havent been dominated, but
they also havent found a way to
win.
The Kings know both sides of a 3-
0 series. They trailed by that margin
in the opening round of this post-
season to San Jose and then became
the fourth NHL team to rally and
win.
Weve been down a lot this post-
season, weve been up, been in
some exciting games, some long
games, Kings forward Jarret Stoll
said. We just keep playing, trying
to nd a way to win. Weve had
some fortunate bounces.
Two years ago, the Kings went up
3-0 in the nals against New Jersey
the fourth straight series they
built such a lead but allowed the
Devils to stay alive until Game 6.
Premature celebrations, ticket
requests from people close to the
players and other distractions took
players focus away from the game
and penetrated the Kings insulated
wall, the one no-nonsense coach
Darryl Sutter worked hard to create.
Game 4 was at home. There was a
lot of distraction, Sutter said of
2012. That was a lesson learned,
not just for our players but for our
whole organization. We were trying
to keep our players as a little inner
circle, but the circle got a little bit
of infringement.
The Rangers are hoping that kind
of history repeats.
New York has never come back to
win a series it trailed 3-0, but the
Rangers rallied to knock out
Pittsburgh in the second round this
year after trailing 3-1.
Today is a tough day, forward
Brad Richards said. Your mind is
racing on a thousand different
things you couldve done. But you
have to make the best of it. The
series is not over. We all cant wait
to get back on the ice. Its just the
waiting and the thinking.
Weve just got to get back into
the battle and see where it goes.
Where they hope it goes is back
to LAfor Game 5. One win can turn
the mindset and the perspective on
both sides: belief in one room, a
sliver of doubt in the other.
N.Y. Rangers have to
regroup after 0-3 start
By Doug Ferguson
PINEHURST, N.C. Phil
Mickelson spent ve hours in the sti-
ing heat Tuesday at Pinehurst No. 2
with a lot on his mind.
He was trying to sharpen his game,
gure out what it will take to nally
win a U.S. Open and make enough
putts with his claw grip to avoid los-
ing to a pair of players whose com-
bined age is younger than him.
This major has a reputation as the
toughest test in golf.
Its every bit of that for Mickelson.
I really believe that this week is
testing a players entire game,
Mickelson said. Because it forces
you to make good decisions, to
choose the right club off the tee, hit
solid iron shots into the green and
utilize your short game to save
strokes. Its just a wonderful test ...
the best test Ive seen to identify the
best player.
His denition of Pinehurst and its
rugged, natural look would seem to
require every ounce of concentration.
And that could be his biggest chal-
lenge.
On the golf course, Mickelson is
trying to ignore the enormous expec-
tations on him this week. He holds
the worst kind of U.S. Open record
with six runner-up nishes. He needs
this major to complete the career
Grand Slam.
And hes a sentimental favorite at
Pinehurst No. 2, where in 1999 he
played the entire week knowing his
wife was on the verge of delivering
their rst child.
Payne Stewart made a 15-foot par
putt on the nal hole to beat him by
one shot. Amanda Mickelson was
born the next day. Stewart died in a
plane crash four months later.

Cream of the crop
The national championships are the
biggest event in a non-Olympic year and
the best in nation will be at CSMs state-of-
the-art facilities. Highlighting the compe-
tition is Tatyana McFadden, who may be the
biggest name in the sport and is making her
U.S. Nationals debut at CSM. She is a 10-
time Paralympic medalist since 2004,
including three gold. She became the rst
woman to earn six titles at one event the
International Paralympic Committee
Athletics World Championships. She is the
rst female athlete to win four major world
marathon titles in the same year, winning
the womens wheelchair division in the
2013 London, Boston, Chicago and New
York City marathons.
Two years ago, she took up Nordic (cross-
country) skiing and captured the national
title at the U.S. Adaptive Nordic Skiing
National Championships and has ve top-
10 nishes in the rst three world cups of
her Nordic career.
Ivonne Mosquera-Schmidt is a T11 class
(visually impaired) Stanford University
graduate by way of Philadelphia and one of
the top paratriathlon athletes in the world.
She also competes on the track running any
and all distances from 800 meters to 5,000
meters.
Steven Toyoji is originally from
Redmond, Washington, but now lives and
trains in San Francisco and the Bay Area. As
one of the top wheelchair racers in the coun-
try, he was a 2008 Paralympian in Beijing
and took silver in the 2013 IPC Athletics
World Championships in the 400-meter
sprint.
David Brown, a visually impaired sprinter
from Chula Vista, is the fastest para-ath-
lete in the world having set world records
in the 100 and 200 this season in the T11
class.
Jarryd Wallace, a junior at University of
Georgia, is a two-time world champion in
the T44 (lower limb impairment) class, and
who will be hosting a 11-year-old Bay Area
boy whose leg was recently amputated.
Wallace will give him the VIP treatment for
the weekend.
Ready for the big time
As a longtime proponent of the sport of
track and eld, Dilley knows the benets of
smoothly-run events and the people who
run the meets at CSM tend to be some of the
best. Its that ability to properly host a
track event that has seen CSM host the
Peninsula Athletic League and twice the
state meet California Community College
Championships.
The facilities are also well known among
the throwing community to be one of the
best venues to for the javelin, shot put, dis-
cus and hammer throws.
It was our anticipation this facility
would be used for big events, said Dilley,
who helped oversee the renovations of the
CSM facilities from 2005 to 2007 that saw
a synthetic-turf eld and a track surface that
most competitors including para-ath-
letes prefer.
The Mondo track, theyre smoother.
Its a faster surface for (the para-athletes), so
they prefer to have that, Dilley said.
When organizers were looking for a
venue, it turned out College of San Mateo
was the perfect place. Not only does the
school have world-class facilities, the local
track and eld federation is a top-notch,
well-run organization.
[The United States Olympic Committee]
came to us, looking for a Mondo track and
they wanted to host on the West Coast,
said Fred Baer, CSM sports information
director, and who is heavily involved in the
local, state, national and international
track scenes.
Experience counts
George Rehmet, meet director and para-
athletics chairperson for the Pacific
Association of the United States
Association of Track and Field, said many of
the ofcials who will work the Paralympic
national championships have worked on
several, large events at CSM in the past.
Most of the ofcials are local and most
have worked [track events] at CSM,
Rehmet said. We are bringing some of-
cials from Southern California who work
with para-athletes. There are some quirks to
having para-athletes competing (of which
ofcials need to be aware).
While the U.S. Paralympics Track and
Field National Championships will de-
nitely help the prole of CSM and the sur-
rounding communities, Dilley understands
what it means to the athletes to have a rst-
rate experience at the national champi-
onships.
Athletes appreciative
Dilley told a story during which CSM, in
the 1990s, twice hosted the Little People of
America National Games and the reaction he
got from people following the event.
People told me afterward, that just to
help out at an event, to serve the needs for
the little people, was a life-changing
event, Dilley said. In our abled-bodied
lives, we oftentimes look past the needs of
those with physical disabilities. When
youre helping put on an event it gives
you a huge sense of admiration for the
endeavors of Paralympians.
Rehmet said those Pacific Association
members and other volunteers for the event
are just as excited as the athletes.
For most us, were volunteers, Rehmet
said. We do it for the love of the sport and
were thrilled to host the national champi-
onships.
Rehmet said he is still looking for more
volunteers to help run the event. Those
interested in helping can contact Rehmet at
paraathletics@pacic.usatf.org.
TRACK
1988, 1989 and 1990 and won two titles,
one in 1981 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and
another in 1989 with the As .
Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten
called Welch one of the greatest competitors
to wear the Dodger uniform.
Welchie was a special guy. We lost a really
good friend, said Los Angeles Angels manag-
er Mike Scioscia, a longtime teammate with
the Dodgers.
In Oakland, Welch gured prominently on
teams that won three straight AL champi-
onships from 1988-90, including the club
that swept the San Francisco Giants in the
earthquake-interrupted World Series.
This is a sad day for the entire As organiza-
tion, general manager Billy Beane said.
Those of us who knew Bob as a teammate and
a friend will miss him greatly.
Welch nished 211-146 with a 3.47 ERAi n
17 seasons with the Dodgers (1978-87) and
Athletics (1988-94). He also was the pitching
coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks when
they won the 2001 World Series and had
served as a special instructor for the As in
recent years.
He had a great arm, but what made him so
special at a young age was the way he could
command the corners with his velocity,
Scioscia said. He was a great talent, but that
wasnt really what he was about. Bobby was a
guy who, every time there was a roadblock in
the way, he got over it. He didnt take the eas-
iest path, but he was a solid guy.
New York Mets general manager Sandy
Alderson, the former Oakland GM who
acquired Welch for the As after the 1987 sea-
son, said Welch would be missed.
He was an interesting character, really sort
of hyperkinetic, Alderson said. He was a
super guy and a very likable, if not loveable,
guy.
Welch was drafted in the rst round by the
Dodgers in 1977 out of Eastern Michigan. His
most memorable moment for Los Angeles was
against the Yankees in the 1978 World Series,
when the rookie struck out Jackson with two
runners on base to end Game 2.
I was stone sober, too, Welch said in his
book. I hadnt gotten around to drinking
before a game, particularly a World Series
game although, given time, I would have.
Dodgers rst base coach Davey Lopes, a for-
mer teammate, recalled the battle with
Jackson fondly before the team played in
Cincinnati on Tuesday night.
I dont know if it gets any greater than
that, Lopes said.
Welch won the AL Cy Young Award after
going 27-6 with a 2.95 ERA in 1990 for
Oakland. His 27 wins tied him with Steve
Carlton in 1972 for the most in a season since
Denny McClains 31 victories in 1968.
He will always be a signicant part of our
franchises history, As President Michael
Crowley said.
Several current As players also offered con-
dolences on Twitter.
Devastated to learn of Bob Welchs pass-
ing, left-hander Sean Doolittle wrote. The
As organization lost not only one of its best
pitchers, but one of its best people.
No one answered the door at Welchs home
Tuesday, which had been sealed with a sticker
from the Orange County coroner.

Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
Beef may claim to be whats for
dinner in America, but in the
Middle East that honor often goes
to lamb. Its prepared in innumer-
able ways, but my favorite is when
the lamb is ground, spiced and
grilled, then topped with some
kind of yogurt sauce and nally
tucked into a pita. And thats how
were rolling here.
The only problem with ground
lamb is that the kind available at
the supermarket often is quite
fatty. Generally speaking, of
course, fat is where the avor is
and the moisture. But lamb fat is
saturated fat and its best to keep
our intake of saturated fats down.
Happily, lamb is packed with a-
vor, which means that even the
leaner cuts deliver big lamb taste.
What about the missing juiciness?
Weve replaced it with vegetables.
The surest way to source lean
ground lamb is to grind it yourself
or put it in the hands of a pro. Not
all markets boast an in-house
butcher these days, but if yours
does, choose a leaner cut of lamb
a part of the leg, for example
and have the store grind it for you.
Of course, if you own a meat
grinder, or a stand mixer with a
meat-grinding attachment, buy
the leaner cut, bring it home, and
grind away.
If neither of those options is
open to you, you can grind your
lamb using a food processor. I put
grind in quotes, because when you
do it with a processor its more
like chopping or shredding than
grinding. Anyway, heres how it
works: cut the meat into 1-inch
cubes and freeze them for 30 min-
utes. Freezing the meat helps it to
grind more evenly and prevents
the processor from overheating
the lamb in the process. Put the
meat in the processor in batches
and pulse until it gets to the
desired consistency. But be careful
not to overdo it. You dont want to
turn the lamb into mush.
This burger remains super juicy
thanks to some onions and zucchi-
ni. We caramelize the onions to
optimize their avor, and grate,
salt and drain the zucchini. I used
to think zucchini were boring
until I discovered this trick. The
burger then is seasoned with gar-
lic, oregano and lemon, though
youre welcome to swap out the
oregano for basil, dill, mint or
rosemary. Lamb pairs nicely with
all of them.
And if youre not a fan of lamb,
this recipe also is dandy made with
beef. You can grind your own beef
using the methods for lamb
described above. Whichever,
please dont skip the garlic-
yogurt sauce. Its the perfect top-
ping to a grilled burger on a sum-
mer day.

NEWYORK If youre grabbing a sand-
wich at Dunkin Donuts, the chain wants
you to consider it a snack, not a full lunch.
The chain has been expanding its sand-
wich offerings to bring in more business
during the afternoon. But Dunkin Brands
CEO Nigel Travis said those sandwiches
which include fried chicken and grilled
cheese varieties shouldnt be considered
lunch.
Were not moving into lunch. Were in
snacking. We never talk about lunch,
Travis said in an interview.
Travis said Dunkin is focused on two
growth areas breakfast and snacking. The
strategy is a reection of how people are
increasingly eating several smaller meals a
day, rather than sticking to just breakfast,
lunch and dinner.
Dunkin, which is based in Canton,
Massachusetts, isnt the only company
going after the snacking business. Its a
strategy being used by numerous fast-food
chains to get people in the door between
meals and help boost overall sales. Taco
Bell, for example, has been featuring small-
er bites positioned as snacks to attract cus-
tomers during the late afternoon. And
McDonalds snack wraps and fruit smooth-
ies are designed to draw people throughout
the day.
Dunkin CEO: Our sandwiches
are just snacks and not lunch

Fruity shrimp cocktail
suited for a summer
By Alison Ladman
Most of us know the secret to amazing homemade cock-
tail sauce spike some ketchup with horseradish, lemon
juice and Worcestershire sauce and youre good to go.
But for summer, we wanted to update this classic compan-
ion to chilled shrimp. So we looked to what was seasonal
and decided to try a strawberry-based cocktail sauce. It ended
up being a perfect pairing. Like the tomatoes in ketchup,
strawberries offer a balance of sweet and acidic. Boost the
avor with garlic, ginger and a jalapeno and you have a
whole lot of deliciousness.
SHRIMP WITH STRAWBERRY COCKTAIL SAUCE
Start to nish: 30 minutes, plus cooling
Servings: 6
1 quart strawberries, hulled and halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch chunk fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, halved (remove seeds, if desired)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound cooked shrimp, shells removed, chilled
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine
the strawberries, garlic, ginger, jalapeno (more or less,
depending on your heat tolerance), salt, pepper, vinegar,
lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring
frequently, for 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree
until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until well
chilled.
When the cocktail sauce is chilled, divide it between indi-
vidual serving bowls or glasses and accompany with
shrimp.

By Candice Choi
NEW YORK Aging cheese on
wood boards is a common practice
among artisan cheesemakers at home
and overseas. Now, some in the indus-
try are worried regulators may crack
down on it.
In recent communication to the New
York regulators, the Food and Drug
Administration noted that wood
shelves and boards cannot be adequate-
ly cleaned and sanitized, and as such,
do not conform to a particular regula-
tion regarding plant equipment and
utensils.
The federal agency also noted that
proper cleaning and sanitation of
equipment and facilities are absolutely
necessary to ensure that pathogens do
not nd niches to reside and prolifer-
ate.
In a statement issued Tuesday, how-
ever, the FDA seemed to backtrack on
the stance. It noted that it hasnt taken
any enforcement action based solely
on the use of wood shelves. And while
it said it has expressed concern about
whether wood can be adequately
cleaned, it added that it is always open
to evidence that shows that wood can
be safely used for specic purposes,
such as aging cheese.
The FDAsaid it will engage with the
artisanal cheesemaking community to
determine whether certain types of
cheese can be safely made by aging
them on wood shelves.
When asked what that process would
entail, FDA spokeswoman Lauren
Sucher said in an email that the agency
cant speculate on immediate next
steps.
The note to New York regulators had
sparked concern in the cheese world
because much of the cheese thats
imported in the U.S. is aged on wood.
Robert Ralyea, a senior extension
associate at Cornell Universitys
Department of Food Science, said
aging cheese on wood is even a part of
the standard of identity for some
cheeses, such as Comte cheese.
Ralyea said he had made the inquiry
about wood boards to New York state
regulators on behalf of Finger Lakes
Farmstead Cheese, a local cheesemak-
er. State regulators then requested clar-
ity from the FDA on the matter. The
FDAs communication was posted late
last week, sparking the concerns in
the cheese world.
Artisans fear crackdown on
aging cheese on wood boards
A sense of disbelief and distress is rippling
through the U.S. artisan cheese community.

Ground black pepper
1 pound lean ground lamb
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
oregano
Olive oil cooking spray
4 pita bread halves
Grated carrots and chopped cucumbers, to
serve
Use a food processor or box grater to
coarsely grate the zucchini. Transfer the
grated zucchini to a strainer. Toss the zuc-
chini with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and let it
drain over the sink for 15 minutes. When
it is done draining, working with a small
handful at a time, squeeze out the zucchini
to get rid of as much liquid as possible.
While the zucchini is draining, in a large
nonstick or stick-resistant skillet, heat
the oil over medium. Add the onion and
cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 min-
utes, or until golden brown. Add the
squeezed zucchini and cook, stirring, for 1
minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium
bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
Heat a grill to medium.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce combine
the yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic, 1
teaspoon of the lemon zest, and salt and
pepper to taste. Set aside.
When the zucchini mixture has cooled,
add the lamb, oregano, the remaining 1
teaspoon of lemon zest, the remaining 1
teaspoon of garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of
salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well,
then shape into 4 patties, each about 1/2
inch thick. Spray the burgers lightly with
olive oil cooking spray, then grill until
medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Serve each burger in a pita half, topped
with the garlic sauce, carrots and cucum-
ber.

LAMB
Because it was so egregious and because
he had apparently told us that hed done
this before, thats why we went for the
felony charge (instead of a misdemeanor),
Halleran said. Aside from just the emo-
tional factor thats involved that you cant
help, especially if you have pets, is the
same thing could happened to a child
Its serious when youre taking care of
another life, whether its a dog or a per-
son.
Police found Elisha panting inside
Regis truck with no water and the windows
rolled up around 10:30 a.m. outside a motel
on the 1100 block of Shoreway Road in
Belmont, Halleran said. Regis stated he
hadnt checked on her since 3 a.m. and had
left her in the car before, Halleran said.
Delucchi said animal control officers
arrived shortly after and rushed Elisha to a
shelter. Yet despite their efforts, Elisha
died soon after, Delucchi said.
Halleran and Delucchi warn even if its
80 degrees outside, a car with its windows
shut can heat into the hundreds in a matter
of minutes.
Regis car was 85 degrees inside after the
doors had been left open for a while,
Delucchi said. But after closing them and
waiting five or six minutes, it hit 100
degrees, Delucchi said.
The car was unlocked, however Delucchi
and Halleran said officers would break win-
dows to get to an animal in danger.
Considerations for determining if cruelty
cases should be misdemeanors or felonies
are usually based on intent or the extent of
suffering an animal experienced, Delucchi
said.
Although Belmont police arrested Regis
on a felony charge, the district attorney
will eventually determine with what hes
charged.
We certainly prosecute lots of animal
abuse cases, but the bigger issue is whether
it should be a felony or a misdemeanor,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
When it comes to an animal, when it hits
a point that a reasonable person would
know youre exposing the animal to seri-
ous harm or death. You dont have to
intend it to occur, you could just be forget-
ful.
Wagstaffe said a life is a life, but he actu-
ally sees more cases of children being
locked in hot cars.
Delucchi said he can only recollect one
other similar incident about seven or eight
years back when a dog perished after being
locked in a mans car who was gambling at
Artichoke Joes in San Bruno.
Pet owners should adhere to their respon-
sibilities during hot weather and its
important to look for signs of dehydration
like excessive panting, Delucchi said.
People should also exercise pets early in
the morning or evening when its cooler
outside and remember that animals dont
need to eat as much when its hot as theyre
not as active, Delucchi said.
We want people to make their pets part
of the family and do everything with their
pets, but when the weathers like this, just
leave them at home, Delucchi said. We
believe a pet is a part of the family and you
make accommodations and take different
things into consideration when you take
on that responsibility. Its a big responsi-
bility.
Although its important for people to be
the eyes and ears of pets and look out for
those they think are in danger, seeing a
dog in a car doesnt always warrant con-
cern, Delucchi said. An owner may have
just run into a store and left their pet with
water and the windows rolled down,
Delucchi said.
Wagstaffe said he has a prosecutor whos
been well trained and focuses animal cruel-
ty cases.
Because theyre important cases in our
community, because people get excited
about these cases, and appropriately so,
Wagstaffe said.
Delucchi said cases such as these are
never easy, but animal lovers have the sup-
port of the humane society, police and the
District Attorneys Office on their side.
Losing an animal in any circumstance is
difficult its upsetting and tragic,
Delucchi said. But I think residents here
in San Mateo County can take some com-
fort that we have a district attorney that
does take these cases seriously. And thats
not the case in every community.
Regis was released on $50,000 bail
Tuesday morning, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office. His court
date was not immediately available.

RISK
STATE 25
tion for California teachers in grades
kindergarten through 12.
It was his experience as both a parent and
an employer, Welch said Tuesday, that led
him to form Students Matter and take on
Californias tenure laws and its powerful
teachers unions.
I think the honest, truthful, simple
answer is Im a huge believer in education
and education is an important part of our
society and we were just missing opportu-
nities to educate our children, said Welch,
53. These laws are, I dont know what else
to say, other than they are wrong.
Welch, who lives in the wealthy
Northern California community of
Atherton, said he came to that conclusion
both as a parent of three children who have
attended public schools as well as an
employer who needs a well-educated work-
force to survive.
But I think pretty much all citizens see
this, he told the Associated Press. We see
it in the percentage of people who are une-
ducated who are incarcerated.
Welch said his school-reform effort has
nothing to do with going after teachers
unions, which have dismissed it as an
assault on teachers by millionaires and
corporate interests.
Inherently it is not a battle with the
teachers union, he said. Its a battle with
the education system. Unfortunately, the
teachers union has decided that the rights
of the child are not their priority.
Welch, who grew up in Maryland, has
said he and his six siblings attended public
schools. Although he could afford to send
his own children to private school now, he
decided not to do so.
Our society doesnt work without a
strong public school system, Welch said.
After earning a Ph.D. from Cornell
University in electrical engineering, he
moved to California to work as a research
scientist for the fiber-optics firm SDL.
After rising to a top executive position, he
helped lead the companys $41 billion
merger with JDS Uniphase in 2001. That
same year, he founded the Infinera
Company, which manufactures optical
telecommunications systems.
Welch also sits on the board of the
national environmental group the Natural
Resources Defense Council, and he and his
wife, Heidi, run a charitable foundation.
One of my edicts is to go back and help
society, he said of taking on the school-
reform effort.
IMPROVE
dents.
The judge stayed the ruling pending
appeals. The case involves 6 million stu-
dents from kindergarten through 12th-grade.
The California Attorney Generals ofce
said it is considering its legal options, while
the California Teachers Association, the
states biggest teachers union with 325,000
members, vowed an appeal.
Circumventing the legislative process to
strip teachers of their professional rights
hurts our students and our schools, the
union said.
Teachers have long argued that tenure pre-
vents administrators from ring teachers on
a whim. They contend also that the system
preserves academic freedom and helps attract
talented teachers to a profession that doesnt
pay well.
Other states have been paying close atten-
tion to how the case plays out in the nations
most populous state.
Its powerful, said Theodore Boutrous Jr. ,
the students attorney. Its a landmark deci-
sion that can change the face of education in
California and nationally.
He added: This is going to be a huge tem-
plate for whats wrong with education.
The lawsuit was backed by wealthy Silicon
Valley entrepreneur David Welchs nonprot
group Students Matter, which assembled a
high-prole legal team including Boutrous,
who successfully fought to overturn
Californias gay-marriage ban.
In an interview following the decision,
Welch tried to open a door to working with
teachers unions, but the enmity of the two
sides intensied.
Inherently it is not a battle with the teach-
ers union. Its a battle with the education sys-
tem, Welch said. Unfortunately, the teach-
ers union has decided that the rights of chil-
dren are not their priority.
He said he hoped union leaders can eventu-
ally work with his group to put in place a
system that ensures children get a better edu-
cation.
But the unions were having none of it.
Dennis Van Roekel, president of the
National Education Association, the nations
biggest teachers union, bitterly criticized the
lawsuit as yet another attempt by million-
aires and corporate special interests to under-
mine the teaching profession and privatize
public education.
They vowed to appeal the ruling for as
long as necessary to overturn it.
The judge declined to tell the Legislature
exactly how to change the system, but
expressed condence it will do so in a way
that passes constitutional muster and pro-
vides each child in this state with a basical-
ly equal opportunity to achieve a quality edu-
cation.
The lawsuit contended that incompetent
teachers are so heavily protected by tenure
laws that they are almost impossible to re.
The plaintiffs also charged that schools in
poor neighborhoods are used as dumping
grounds for bad teachers.
In striking down several laws regarding
tenure, seniority and other protections, the
judge said there was compelling evidence of
the harm inicted on students by incompe-
tent teachers.
Indeed, it shocks the conscience, Treu
said.
He cited an experts nding that a single
year with a grossly ineffective teacher costs
a student $50,000 in potential lifetime earn-
ings.
California teachers receive tenure after just
two years, sooner than in virtually any other
state. If a school district moves to re a
tenured teacher and the educator puts up a
ght, it triggers a long, drawn-out process,
including a trial-like hearing and appeals.
Los Angeles School Superintendent John
Deasy testied it can take over two years on
average and sometimes as long as 10 to
re an incompetent tenured teacher. The cost,
he said, can run from $250,000 to $450,000.
In his ruling, the judge, a Republican
appointee to the bench, said the procedure
under the law for ring teachers is so com-
plex, time-consuming and expensive as to
make an effective, efcient yet fair dismissal
of a grossly ineffective teacher illusory.
The judge also took issue with laws that
say the last-hired teacher must be the rst
red when layoffs occur even if the new
teacher is gifted and the veteran is inept.
The case was brought by a group of stu-
dents who said they were stuck with teachers
who let classrooms get out of control, came
to school unprepared and in some cases told
them theyd never make anything of them-
selves.
Being a kid, sometimes its easy to feel
like your voice is not heard. Today, I am glad
I did not stay quiet, said one of the students,
Julia Macias. Im glad that with the support
of my parents I was able to stand up for my
right to a great education.

There is a solid budget this year, said
Vice Mayor Richard Garbarino.
Im pleased with what weve come
up with, he said. Theres some
reserve money in there; its a little
tight.
While the budget is balanced, on a
go-forward basis, rising California
Public Employees Retirement System
(CalPERS) retirement costs of approx-
imately $5.1 million over the next
ve years for the general fund will
mean that the next two- to ve-year
period will be critical for a major budg-
et realignment process. Such a process
will be needed to bring revenue in line
with operating expenditures, deferred
maintenance and capital infrastructure
needs, according to the staff report.
Pensions do worry Garbarino.
If I said no, Id be a liar, Garbarino
said. We know there are going to be
rate increases and hopefully weve
planned properly for that. Its a con-
cern for all cities. Rates are going up
and up and up. Its an obligation we
made a long time ago and weve got to
live up to them.
Even with that burden, the city is
making good nancial progress, coun-
cilmembers say. The city is putting
some extra money toward making the
citys obligations more manageable,
he said.
This is the rst year where we have
some flexibility with the programs
weve been postponing, said
Councilman Pradeep Gupta. This
year, a big part of the budget is weve
added extra money for the Parks and
Recreation activities. We are also
looking at some of the maintenance
issues weve been postponing on the
roads and other infrastructure, so we
have put some capital investment
money into those.
The city is very pleased with the
budget and it will make way for capital
improvement projects, said City
Manager Mike Futrell. A new Capital
Improvement Program which, com-
bined with existing efforts, will create
a $43.7 million program for down-
town improvements, bike path and
public park upgrades, Americans with
Disabilities Act projects, trafc ow
enhancements, water quality treatment
advances and many other infrastructure
projects. Amajor thrust of the program
is improving South San Franciscos
downtown. This includes more than
$1.8 million combined from the capi-
tal improvement and operating budg-
ets for pedestrian and bike path
improvements, enhanced landscaping
and signs, replacement of coin park-
ing meters with electronic meters,
upgrading of downtown trafc signals,
a revitalized facade grant program for
downtown businesses and planning
costs for a new pedestrian and bike
path crossing under the South San
Francisco Caltrain Station.
South San Franciscos Park and
Recreation facilities will also receive
major upgrades, including $2.1 mil-
lion in improvements to 10 different
parks. The city will also allocate $5
million for maintenance of its exten-
sive system of parks, trails and green
space in its operating budget. Other
major improvements include
$1.3 million for pedestrian and land-
scaping enhancements on El Camino
Real between Chestnut Avenue and
Arroyo Drive, and to begin design on
the next phase of the Grand Boulevard
Project improvements from Kaiser
Way to the BARTstation. There will be
$2 million put toward converting
existing streetlights to energy ef-
cient LED lighting, while $5.7 mil-
lion will go toward public building
facility upgrades, such as accessibility
to those with disabilities, HVAC
replacements and roof repairs.
Additionally, $850,000 will go to
library improvements, while Highway
101 will get some upgrades within the
city. Another $10.8 million will go to
sanitary sewer and treatment plant
improvements, $4.5 million to Forbes
Boulevard bike lane improvements and
$1.3 million to energy-saving solar
photovoltaic systems.
The city will be adding an economic
and community development director
in the proposed budget, while in antic-
ipation of the current public safety
chiefs retirement, additional funds
have been added for a full-time re
chief and a full-time police chief.
Im pleased, said Mayor Karyl
Matsumoto. Were able to restore a
new police chief, re chief and eco-
nomic and community development
director. Were getting back to restor-
ing a lot of services we had to freeze
because of the economy; its all very
positive.
Additionally, sales taxes are project-
ed to increase $523,000, commercial
parking taxes are expected to increase
$200,000, while the revenue swap
with the state is bringing in $800,000
to the city this scal year. Conversely,
building and re permits are decreasing
to a more historical level from an
unusually high level in the 2013-14
scal year, with a $786,000 expected
decrease, while citation revenues are
projected to decrease $375,000 and
charges for services should go down
$264,000. The city is also budgeting
$500,000 for a project to modernize
the citys parking meter system.
The City Council meets 7 p.m.

Want It, formed through a Craigslist
ad that Weiskopf, 42, a lawyer, posted.
At rst, Hairstrike went through a bit
of a Spinal Tap syndrome when it rst
formed, going through five or six
drummers, Eernisse said. Weiskopf had
done a similar band in Seattle.
Theres nothing quite like the feel-
ing of playing songs youve loved,
Gast, 49, said. When I get back there
(on the stage), I get lost.
Gast, a native of San Mateo, has
played three times at the fair, the rst
being 36 years ago as a junior high
school student. The band wears wigs
that come from the House of Humor in
Redwood City and a costume shop on
Folsom Street in San Francisco. Gast
shared a photo of himself with long
locks back in the 80s.
That was real hair, said Gast, who
dons a blonde curly wig and tattoos
these days. I dont have any now.
The men all have families who are
supportive of the music. The band
rehearses about once a week in
Redwood City.
Ive been through a couple of bands
with him already, said Xochilt Gast,
Dennis wife. I actually encouraged
him to go back. He used to play coun-
try and he said, I dont know if I want
to play rock n roll again. I said Its
your roots. Now its non-stop. I
never liked the 80s and Ive learned to
like this now.
A name that was a bad pun made
sense, Eernisse said.
We have a sufciently rock n roll
cheesy logo in the old school rock n
roll font, he said.
The guys treat the music as a serious
endeavor though.
Although we are just a bunch of old
dudes reliving our childhood rock star
fantasies, I personally take the music
very seriously and playing at the fair
last night meant a lot to me, Gast said
Tuesday.

CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2014
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is not the day to
make promises. Youll be confused regarding whats
expected of you and whats not. Get clear instructions
before starting a new project.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) An indirect proposal
will prove to be very intriguing. Follow your instincts,
and get the particulars from someone who is
knowledgeable in a eld that interests you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make sure that the attention
you give to a new acquaintance doesnt cause a
problem with a friend or loved one. An innocent
gesture will lead to an unsettling disagreement.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Trouble is brewing
behind the scenes. If you are at all doubtful regarding
a persons intentions, refuse to get involved. A snap
judgment could cause trouble and be costly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Join an organization
that appreciates what you have to offer. A partnership
will develop from a mutual desire to get involved in a
worthy cause or take on a new project.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Dont fall for
someones sob story. You will end up in a worse
predicament if you hand your hard-earned cash to a
schemer. Offer advice, not money.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Make sure your
feelings are reciprocated before making any romantic
announcements. Its likely that your love interest isnt
ready to settle down. Get to know each other better
before you make any rash utterances.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Do your best to
conceal your plans. Someone is likely to take credit for
your ideas if you are too open. Listen and observe, and
you will discover ulterior motives.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Join forces with
someone who can help you achieve your goals. Having
a partner will cut your workload in half. You will make
substantial progress working as a team.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Speak up, or someone
will expect you to be a follower. Make it known that you
intend to forge your own path. Your original approach
will draw the attention of someone inuential.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are well-
equipped to handle anything that comes your way.
Communication and travel will figure prominently
in your schedule. Spend your time wisely and make
the most of your day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Now is the time to
invest, not spend. Sound economic advice will enable
you to add to your nances. Put quality over quantity

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
ANNE M. PAYE
Case Number: 124554
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Anne M. Paye. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Amy
Paye Venuto in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Amy
Paye Venuto be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the descedants will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The willand any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in tehfile kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: July 11, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

BAGHDAD In a stunning assault that
exposed Iraqs eroding central authority, al-
Qaida-inspired militants overran much of
Mosul on Tuesday, seizing government
buildings, pushing out security forces and
capturing military vehicles as thousands of
residents ed the second-largest city.
The rampage by the black banner-waving
insurgents was a heavy defeat for Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki as he tries to hold
onto power, and highlighted the growing
strength of the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant. The group has been advancing in
both Iraq and neighboring Syria, capturing
territory in a campaign to set up a militant
enclave straddling the border.
There were no immediate estimates on
how many people were killed in the assault,
a stark reminder of the reversals in Iraq
since U.S. forces left in late 2011.
Earlier this year, Islamic State ghters
took control of Fallujah, and government
forces have been unable to take it back.
Mosul is a much bigger, more strategic
prize. The city and surrounding Ninevah
province, which is on the doorstep of Iraqs
relatively prosperous Kurdish region, are a
major export route for Iraqi oil and a gate-
way to Syria.
This isnt Fallujah. This isnt a place
you can just cordon off and forget about,
said Michael Knights, a regional security
analyst at the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy. Its essential to Iraq.
Al-Maliki pressed parliament to declare a
state of emergency that would grant him
greater powers, saying the public and gov-
ernment must unite to confront this
vicious attack, which will spare no Iraqi.
Legal experts said these powers could
include imposing curfews, restricting pub-
lic movements and censoring the media.
State TV said lawmakers would convene
Thursday. Parliament speaker Osama al-
Nujai, a Sunni from Mosul, called the rout
a disaster by any standard.

WORLD

MEXICO CITY Mexicos congress
started debate Tuesday on the rules of a his-
toric opening of the state-owned oil indus-
try amid doubts about whether the discus-
sion should be held during the World Cup
soccer tournament.
The World Cup opens Thursday and is
expected to keep Mexicans glued to their
television sets, just as the Senate holds
debates from June 10-23 on how to open the
oil, gas and electricity industries to private
and foreign investors.
Oil is a sensitive subject in Mexico; the
1938 expropriation of the industry still
marks a point of national pride, but the
countrys oil production has been fallen
steadily.
The constitutional reforms, passed in
December, allow private companies to drill
for oil and hold concessions for the rst
time since 1938. But the rules governing
what those contracts and concessions would
look like, and who would oversee the
process, are what is now being debated.
Some on the left say the timing of the
debate is meant to keep Mexicans attention
off what they claim is a give-away of the
industry to multinational rms.
This is without doubt a strategy to dis-
tract attention from the countrys most
important reform, said Sen. Rabindranath
Salazar, of the leftist Democratic
Revolution Party. Obviously, people are
going to want to watch a sporting event a
thousand times more than follow the
debate over the energy reform.
The ruling Institutional Revolutionary
Party denies it is trying to push anything
through congress behind the publics back.
With vast deep-sea and shale gas reserves
currently untapped, the PRI, as President
Enrique Pena Nietos party is known, says
the country simply cant wait weeks to
resolve such an important issue.
The life of the nation cannot be put on
hold for a soccer tournament, said PRI Sen.
David Penchyna. This has nothing to do
with distracting attention. We trust the
maturity and responsibility of Mexicos
citizens.
Given that the debate is full of highly
technical terms and little-known distinc-
tions, many think that even without soc-
cer few Mexicans would actually pay
much attention to the debates.
People dont follow congressional
debates, said Jose Antonio Crespo, a polit-
ical analyst at Mexicos Center for
Economic Research and Instruction. Even
if there wasnt soccer, I dont think people
would pay attention to the debate.
Mexico does have a history of carrying
out controversial measures under the cover
of key soccer matches.
In a late-night raid in October 2009, then-
President Felipe Calderon dissolved a state-
owned electricity company, ring most of
its workers and essentially breaking the
power of a hostile union.

KABUL, Afghanistan Five American
troops with a special operations unit were
killed by a U.S. airstrike called in to help
them after they were ambushed by the
Taliban in southern Afghanistan, in one of
the deadliest friendly fire incidents in
nearly 14 years of war, officials said
Tuesday.
The deaths were a fresh reminder that the
conflict is nowhere near over for some
U.S. troops, who will keep fighting for at
least two more years.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John
Kirby said the five American troops were
killed Monday during a security operation
in southern Afghanistan.
Investigators are looking into the like-
lihood that friendly fire was the cause. Our
thoughts and prayers are with the families
of these fallen, Kirby said in a statement.
In Washington, U.S. defense officials
said the five Americans were with a special
operations unit that they did not identify.
Earlier, officials had said all five were spe-
cial operations-qualified troops, but later
an official said their exact affiliation was
unclear and one or more may have been a
conventional soldier working with the
special operations unit.
The deaths occurred during a joint opera-
tion of Afghan and NATO forces in the
Arghandab district of southern Zabul
province ahead of Saturdays presidential
runoff election, said provincial police
chief Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Rooghlawanay.
After the operation was over, the troops
came under attack from the Taliban and
called in air support, he said.
Unfortunately five NATO soldiers and
one Afghan army officer were killed mis-
takenly by NATO airstrike,
Rooghlawanay said.
There was no way to independently con-
firm Rooghlawanays comments. The
coalition would not comment and NATO
headquarters in Brussels also declined to
comment.
However, special operations forces often
come under fire on joint operations and are
responsible for calling in air support when
needed. Because of constraints placed by
President Hamid Karzai, such airstrikes are
usually called in extremis, when troops
fear they are about to be killed.
Airstrikes have long caused tensions
between the Afghan government and coali-
tion forces, especially when they cause
civilian casualties.
Airstrikes that kill coalition soldiers are
far less common. One of the worst such
incidents came in April 2002, when four
Canadian soldiers were killed by an
American F-16 jet fighter that dropped a
bomb on a group of troops during a night
firing exercise in southern Kandahar. In
April 2004, former National Football
League player Pat Tillman was killed by
coalition fire while serving in an Army
Ranger unit in one of the most highly pub-
licized cases.
Relatives identified two of the five
American troops killed Monday.
One of those killed was 19-year-old
Aaron Toppen of Mokena, Illinois, who
had deployed to Afghanistan in March, a
month after his father died, according to a
family spokeswoman, Jennie Swartz. His
family was suffering a double hit of
grief, Toppens sister, Amanda Gralewski,
told the Chicago Sun-Times.
