Astudy of the Main Street Bridges struc-
tural integrity is moving forward after a
June 3 vote restricted the Half Moon Bay
City Councils ability to replace it, which
could force the forfeiture of federal funds.
City staff is preparing a scope of work
agreement outlining what testing needs to
be done to evaluate repair options, said
Community Development Director Dante
Hall. The council will review it as early as
its June 17 meeting before initiating a
request for proposals, Hall said.
Testing is part of the [California
Environmental Quality Act] process and the
design option process, Hall said. This is
part of just the process of getting to a feasi-
ble option for City Council to consider. And
the election is another step in deciding what

slow a violent insurgent march that is
threatening to take over the nations

Obama administration offered only tepid
support for Iraqs beleaguered prime minis-

whether he should remain in power.

Yosemite National
Park rescue caught on video
YOSEMITE NATIONALPARK Park
ofcials say a backpacker who narrowly
avoided plunging to his death from a
waterfall at Yosemite National Park was
hoisted to safety by a helicopter rescue
crew in an operation that was captured
on video.
Video of the May 28 rescue shows the
helicopter hovering over a gorge at the
base of Upper Yosemite Fall. The video
was released last week.
The backpacker is on a boulder that
park ofcials say he was able to scram-
ble onto after slipping and falling into
the rapids.
A rescuer who was lowered down to
the boulder is seen attaching a line. He
and the backpacker are then hoisted up.
The backpacker was treated for
hypothermia. Park ofcials say he
would have died if he had not been able
to get onto the boulder.
Mayor in tiff over
tossed bag of dog waste
SAN MARINO The mayor of San
Marino, California, admits tossing a
bag of dog waste onto a neighborhood
residents property and has apologized,
saying he should have disposed of it
properly.
Mayor Dennis Kneier tells the
Pasadena Star-News he was walking
home from a park with his wife Saturday
night in the upscale Los Angeles suburb
when they found the bag on a parkway.
He says he picked it up and tossed it
onto a walkway at the property.
Resident Philip Lao says he recog-
nized Kneier on surveillance video and
called police. They photographed the
bag.
There is no police record of problems
between the men, although Lao does
oppose a dog park in the city.
The original owner of the waste has
not been identied.
Wildfire sparks amazing
wedding photo in Oregon
BEND, Ore. Awildre that disrupt-
ed an Oregon couples wedding also
gave them the photograph of a lifetime.
Are truck rolled up at Rock Spring
Ranch near Bend with sirens blaring
Saturday and the wedding party was told
to evacuate, The Oregonian reported.
The minister conducted an abbreviat-
ed ceremony. Everyone cheered and
began to evacuate to downtown Bends
Drake Park for the reception.
As guests headed for the cars, wedding
photographer Josh Newton took some
photos of the couple with the wildre
raging in the background.
Michael Wolber called it the most
beautiful ceremony either of us could
have ever imagined. He and his wife,
April Hartley, live in Aloha and both
work at Nike Inc.
Its terrible to be evacuated from
your own wedding, said Lisa Clark, a
re information ofcer with the Central
Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.
But its a story for the rest of their lives
and nothing that could be duplicated.
Water woes force big
brewers to tighten the tap
FORTWORTH, Texas Some of the
largest brewers in the U.S. are trying
to reduce their water-to-beer ratio as
drought and wildre threaten the water-
sheds where they draw billions of gal-
lons every year.
No independent group tracks beer-
makers water usage, but MillerCoors
and Anheuser-Busch both say they
have made reductions. MillerCoors
released a sustainability report
Wednesday that shows it has cut its
water use by 9.2 percent from 2012.
Water is just critical to us, Kim
Marotta, the Chicago-based compa-
nys sustainability chief, told The
Associated Press in a telephone inter-
view. Looking ahead, we needed to
nd a way to brew more beer but use
less water.
MillerCoors water-saving effort
focused in Texas, California and
Colorado involves using sensors to
release just enough water for irriga-
tion, planting native grass to reduce
erosion and runoff and keeping a close
eye on leaky machinery in its brew-
eries.

The woman whose criminal to-do list
helped convict her of attempting to kill
her estranged husband in the couples
Redwood City business was sane at the
time she lured him to the office with a fake
client, dressed herself in bubble wrap and
stabbed him twice, a jury decided.
Jurors on Wednesday afternoon rejected
Laura Jean Wenkes insanity plea which
means the 53-year-old Los Altos woman
will be imprisoned rather than treated at a
state mental facility for at least 180 days.
The same jury deliberated four hours
before convicting Wenke June 3 of pre-
meditated attempted murder, assault with a
deadly weapon, assault with a stun gun,
domestic violence and inflicting great
bodily injury. She is facing 14 to 15 years
to life in prison when sentenced Aug. 1 for
the Sept. 15, 2011, attack on her husband,
Randy Wenke.
We are very grateful
to the jury for seeing
through the defendants
dual effort both in the
guilt phase and the sani-
ty phase to use a psychi-
atric defense that was
without foundation,
said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Wenke drew her husband to the Laurel
Street office by setting up a meeting
between him and a fake potential client.
She drove a truck to the business, parking
it in front of the windows, and inside asked
her husband to look at a computer screen
ostensibly to be in a better position to
attack.
Wenke stabbed her husband twice, slic-
ing a 4-inch gash across the back of his
neck and puncturing his lung. A stun gun
was at the scene but it is unclear if she
actually used it. After her arrest, Wenke
was found to have bubble wrap underneath
her mechanics jumpsuit and in her purse a
handwritten to-do list with items related to
removing batteries from the smoke alarms
so that she could burn down the building,
disposing of evidence and framing some-
one else. Inside her vehicle were three gal-
lons of highly flammable linseed oil and a
bucket of rags.
Prosecutor Tricia Povah said that Wenke
might have some anxiety and bipolar dis-
order but that she was motivated by a $2
million life insurance policy and hatred of
her husband with whom she was in the
midst of an acrimonious divorce and cus-
tody battle.
During trial, defense attorney Geoff Carr
did not dispute Wenke stabbed her husband
but said it is unproven if the act was pre-
meditated and argued that she would be bet-
ter financially by his living because the
couples business pulled in $6 million to
$8 million annually at peak times.
Carr argued that his client had mental ill-
ness issues including post-traumatic stress
disorder exacerbated by misdiagnosis and
wrong medication that left her with bouts
of amnesia among other symptoms.
Carr could not be reached for comment
on the verdict.
Wenke remains in custody without bail.

KERRY CHAN/DAILY JOURNAL
Sophie Tjader, 5, has gotten her face painted every year since she was 2.
By Kerry Chan
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
In the last 80 years, the San Mateo County
Fair has moved beyond horse races, spinning
teacup rides, ower exhibits and corn dogs
it still draws thousands of people but is trying
to emphasize the areas growing interest in
technology.
This year, fair organizers launched a smart-
phone app that helps fair goers navigate their
visit. It has a map, list of food vendors, per-
formance times and daily pig race schedules.
The fair expanded the technology division
to feature robotic demonstrations and gives
the kids hands-on experience with industrial
art and technical projects. They get to put giz-
mos together or deconstruct retired electron-
ics while interacting and socializing with
high school volunteers.
The games and projects give an experience
that is beyond riding rides, said Gabriel
Colaluca, department head of the fairs tech-
nology division.
Even with the modern enhancements, many
still prefer to engage with the old fair
favorites. Jennifer Aguilera, 20, a student at
College of San Mateo, said the main attrac-
tion for her is the petting zoo.
I always wanted to be a vet and this is the
one place that I get to experience being with
these animals, said Aguilera.
Maura Rosie, a handler in the fairs live-
stock division, said farm animals and young
livestock are main staples of a traditional
county fair.
Burlingame residents Loretta Tripp and her
husband used to go to fair 30 years ago with
their children and recall a time when horse
races were one of the main attractions at the
fair.
We used to go to the horse races after the
kids were done with the rides, said Tripp.
The race track was demolished in 2008 to
make way for new housing, ofce and retail
development.
I remembered it used to be a little seedy,
not a place I would want my children to roam
around freely but now its more rened and
there is so much more for the kids today, said
Tripp, who recently took her grandchildren.
Fair organizers said it is their mission to
maintain tradition but also push the genre to
keep the new generation engaged. You dont
want to take away the petting zoos or the pig
race, but you can add technology, said organ-
izers.
Fair organizers said they have to reinvent
themselves constantly because consumer
demands are changing so quickly.
To keep up with healthy trends, the fair held
their rst Agri-Tourism exhibit which features
ve local farms and a class on how to cook
vegetables that grow locally in San Mateo
County.
There are educational booths funded by the
USDA to promote healthy eating and every
food vendor at the fair now offers at least one
healthy food option that is approved by the
San Mateo department of public health.
San Mateo native, Brian Birkett, 36, said
although the gesture is appreciated, he prefers
to indulge in traditional fair foods such as
fried Twinkies, barbecued ribs and corn on the
cob with melted butter.
You go and you have a little treat and that
treat takes you back to what it was like going
to the fair 20 years ago, said Birkett.
It is the intent to maintain popular tradi-
tions yet always stay ahead of the curve, said
Fair Manager Matt Cranford. As the county
fair evolves, there will be new attractions tai-
lored for the generation it serves. Freak Out, a
new ride that ies passengers more than 40
feet in the air, grilled tofu dogs, technology
exhibits and a smartphone app are the newest
trends among time honored traditions like
pony rides, funnel cakes and Ferris wheels.
Every year, San Mateo resident Robert
Tjader and his wife take their 5-year-old
daughter Adrian to the fair for a traditional
pony ride, carousal ride and face paint.
Adrian was on the some horse that she rode
last year, it was named Sydney, said Tjader.
For Tjader, the memories his family creates
and the sense of community is what draws him
to the fair each year.
I think coming to the fair is good for the
community and good for our family to get out
and about, said Tjader, but you will not be
seeing me eat a grilled tofu dog unless Im in
a dire situation.
The San Mateo County fair operates from
June 7 to 14. For more tickets or more infor-
mation go to www.sanmateocountyfair.com.
Tradition and trends merge at fair
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO As billions of dollars in
unexpected tax revenue pour into California,
Democratic lawmakers have proposed all
kinds of ways to distribute the windfall after
years of recession-era budget cuts.
Just dont call it spending. In recent weeks,
Democrats have been using a more palatable
and scally responsible term to characterize
their individual priorities.
Instead of spending the taxpayer surplus,
they want to invest it.
Last week, Assemblywoman Nancy
Skinner, D-Berkeley, opened up a joint leg-
islative budget committee hearing by saying
she hopes the state will make meaningful
and strategic investments in early and higher
education, in health care access and closing
that opportunity gap.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D- Sacramento, has said in recent
weeks that he would like to make sure that
there is room left for some investment to
meet the needs of the peo-
ple.
Shortly after being
sworn in as Assembly
speaker last month, San
Diego Democrat Toni
Atkins said she wanted to
help craft a budget that
expands opportunity by
making smart invest-
ments.
Websters dictionary
denes investment as the outlay of money,

lawmakers are framing their spending pro-

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 49-year-old South San Francisco
woman who participated in a brutal 2008
crowbar attack that left a 78-year-old Daly
City woman blinded was sentenced
Wednesday to six months in jail for resi-
dential burglary.
Joann Rivera Ortiz had a four-year prison
plea offer on the table for the last two years
but in January Judge Richard Livermore
reduced the term to six months in jail which
led her to accept.
On Wednesday, Ortiz was also placed on
ve years supervised probation and ordered
to pay $283,566 restitution for the
womans medical bills. She has nine days
credit against the six-month term.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe was
disappointed in the cases resolution.
We felt the sentence was less than we
wanted, Wagstaffe said.
Ortiz is not accused of
personally assaulting the
victim in the case but
prosecutors say she tried
luring her away from
home so accomplices
could burglarize it. She
was also tied to a Pacica
burglary the previous
month.
In the assault case,
Ortiz reportedly called the victim using a
cellphone and said she was a Pan-American
agent who needed to know if she would be
home to receive a package around 3 p.m.
Jan. 12, 2008. The suspicious woman
called her children who instructed her not to
answer the door if anybody knocked.
Accomplice Jose Perez-Gonzalez, 33, of
South San Francisco, went to the
Serramonte neighborhood home and used a
crowbar to pry open the houses rear glass
sliding door. After encountering the home
owner, Perez-Gonzalez beat her in the head
with the bar and ed through the front door,
setting off the silent alarm, and in a get-
away car driven by Juan Carlos Cuellar.
Daly City police responded to the alarm
and found the semi-conscious victim and
the crowbar inside the house. Police arrest-
ed Cellar at his Daly City home after being
tipped by a person who claimed he had con-
fessed. Perez-Gonzales ed to his native
Mexico and remained at large until Mexican
law enforcement ofcials apprehended him
and then extradited him ve months later.
Cuellar served two years in prison for res-
idential burglary. Perez-Gonzalez received
11 years and eight months in prison after
being convicted of attempted robbery, resi-
dential burglary, felony assault with a dead-
ly weapon, felony elder abuse, residential
burglary, possession of stolen property and
mayhem.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Bruno man whose girlfriends
body was found at a Pacifica apartment
complex two months after her mother
reported her missing will stand trial for
murder.
Albert Antonio Trejo, 50, is also
charged with using a gun to kill 36-year-
old Cecilia Zamora sometime in February
2013. Zamora was determined to have been
shot once in the back of the head.
Trejo has pleaded not guilty to all
charges but was held to answer Wednesday
after a multi-day preliminary hearing on
the evidence. He returns to court July 2 to
enter a Superior Court plea and possibly
set a trial date.
Zamora was last reported seen the morn-
ing of Feb. 13 and her decomposed body
not found until April 26 in the storage area
of an apartment complex
on Gateway Drive in
Pacifica. She was killed
by a single gun shot to
the back of the head.
The couple lived with
several others in San
Bruno and one reported
that on Feb. 13 Trejo
called him, possibly
crying, and talking
about his gun having gone off. When the
other residents got home, Trejo reportedly
was doing laundry and told them Zamora
left after the pair had an argument, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Trejo was in federal custody on unrelated
charges in late August when authorities
issued an arrest warrant for Zamoras mur-
der.
He remains in custody without bail.

Big changes in Republican
leadership after Cantor loss
By David Espo
WASHINGTON Repudiated at the polls,
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor
announced Wednesday that he will resign
his leadership post at the end of next
month, clearing the way for a potentially
disruptive Republican shake-up just before
midterm elections with control of Congress
at stake.
Cantor informed fellow Republicans of
his intentions at an emotional closed-door
meeting, then made his public announce-
ment at a news conference where he
appeared upbeat, all less than 24 hours after
losing Virginias GOP primary election to
David Brat, a little-known and underfunded
rival backed by tea party groups.
Lawmakers in both parties said Cantors
defeat and the prospect of a change within
the Republican high command probably
signal the demise of immigration legisla-
tion along the lines President Barack
Obama is seeking and will also have a neg-
ative impact on the balance of his second-
term agenda.

Oregon shooting suspect
called aspiring serviceman
TROUTDALE, Ore. A 15-year-old boy
accused of killing a fellow freshman in a
high school locker room was heavily armed
with an assault rie, handgun and knife that
police said Wednesday had been taken from
a secured area at his family home.
The details were released as police provid-
ed a more detailed account of the violence on
Tuesday at Reynolds High School in
Troutdale, and a portrait emerged of 15-year-
old suspect Jared Michael Padgett as a
devout Mormon and aspiring serviceman.
Authorities said an autopsy conrmed that
Padgett had died in a school bathroom of a
self-inicted gunshot wound after a brief
exchange of gunre with arriving ofcers.
However, no link has been discovered
between Padgett and 14-year-old victim
Emilio Hoffman, leaving police unsure if
the shooter was targeting someone in par-
ticular or had launched a random attack.
In Hill testimony, Hagel
defends Bergdahl trade
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel delivered an aggressive
defense Wednesday of the secret prisoner
exchange of five Taliban detainees for a
U.S. soldier, telling Congress that the
risks were too great and the situation too
uncertain for the administration to tell
lawmakers about the plan.
In a nearly ve-hour Capitol Hill hearing
that was at times contentious, House mem-
bers accused Hagel and the White House of
not trusting them enough to follow the law
and ll them in on the decision to exchange
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for ve detainees at the
U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
An equally combative Hagel said the deal
provided the best possibility that we had to
get him out, and we were concerned we
might lose it.
House considers bill
to waive school meal rules
WASHINGTON The House considered
legislation on Wednesday that would allow
some schools to opt out of healthier meal
standards a proposal that has drawn a
veto threat from the White House.
The GOP spending bill on the House oor
would allow schools to waive the school
lunch and breakfast standards championed
by rst lady Michelle Obama for the next
school year if they lost money on meal pro-
grams over a six-month period.
In a statement threatening a veto, the
White House said Tuesday that the bill would
be a major step backwards for the health of
American children by undermining the
effort to provide kids with more nutritious
food.

SAN DIEGO Unaccompanied children
arrested by U.S. border authorities are
packed in frigid cells and sleep on hard
oors without enough food or medical care,
advocacy groups said in a complaint
Wednesday that alleges widespread abuses
amid a surge of illegal crossings by young
immigrants from strife-torn Central
American countries.
The Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project
and four other groups produced 116 allega-
tions of abuse of children who were in
Customs and Border Protection custody.
They said more than 80 percent received
inadequate food and water, about half were
denied medical care, and about one of every
four was physically abused.
A13-year-old boy said he was threatened
by an ofcial with a metal rod and was later
sexually molested while in custody, a 14-
year-old girl reported her asthma inhaler was
confiscated, and a 14-year-old boy was
unable to sleep for ve days because the
lights were always on. A 16-year-old boy
said an ofcial told him, You are in my
country now, and we are going to bury you in
a hole.
The allegations described in the adminis-
trative complaint to the Department of
Homeland Security were based on interviews
with the children from around March to May.
The complaint doesnt provide dates of the
alleged abuse, but authors said much of it
occurred over the last year. The locations are
not listed because, the authors said, the chil-
dren were frequently shuttled around and did-
nt know where they were.
The children were identied only by ini-
tials in a 25-page version of the complaint
that was made public but the authors said
they provided names and other biographical
information to the Homeland Securitys
inspector general and ofce civil rights and
civil liberties. They urged the department to
investigate the complaints, punish any
wrongdoing and make its ndings public.
Customs and Border Protection said in a
statement that it does not tolerate miscon-
duct and was providing food, medical care
and other basic services under constant
supervision, while working to transfer chil-
dren to the Department of Health and Human
Services within 72 hours, as required by law.

WASHINGTON The Senate acted
Wednesday to help thousands of military
veterans enduring long wait times for VA
medical care, as the FBI revealed it has
opened a criminal investigation into a
Veterans Affairs Department reeling from
allegations of falsied records and inappro-
priate scheduling practices.
The Senate bill, approved 93-3, makes it
easier for veterans who have encountered
delays getting initial visits to receive VA-
paid treatment from local doctors instead.
The measure closely resembles a bill
approved unanimously Tuesday in the
House, prompting optimism among law-
makers from both parties that a compromise
version could be on its way soon to
President Barack Obama for his signature.
The White House said Wednesday that
Obama supports the Senate bill.
The Senate bill would authorize about $35
billion over three years to pay for outside
care for veterans, as well as hire hundreds of
doctors and nurses and lease 26 new health
facilities in 17 states and Puerto Rico. The
House bill would spend about $620 million
over the same period.
The Veterans Affairs Department released
an audit this week showing that more than
57,000 veterans have had to wait at least
three months for initial appointments.
Another 64,000 veterans who asked for
appointments over the past decade never
got them.
The cost of war does not end when the
last shots are red and the last missiles are
launched, said Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee. The cost of war continues until
the last veteran receives the care and the
benets that he or she is entitled to and has
earned on the battleeld.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who drafted
the bill with Sanders, called the bill a
beginning not an end to the efforts
that must be taken to address the crisis
affecting veterans health care.
While the legislation will not solve all
the VAs problems, it should spark long-
overdue change from the top down in
order to ensure our veterans are getting the
care and support they expect and deserve,
said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
Support for the bill was not unanimous.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and other
Republicans complained that the measure
was a blank check to spend billions of
dollars with little or no way to rein it in.
Make no mistake: This is an emergency,
McCain retorted.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., supported the
bill, but said money is not the problem at
the VA. Its management and accountabili-
ty and honesty in treating the veterans that
are needed to improve care for veterans,
Coburn said.

WASHINGTON Insurers want to change
President Barack Obamas health care law to
provide nancial assistance for people buy-
ing bare-bones coverage. That would entice
the healthy and the young, the industry says,
holding down premiums.
So-called catastrophic plans are currently
not eligible for the laws subsidies, and only
2 percent of the 8 million consumers who
signed up this year picked one. Subsidies
bring down the cost of monthly premiums.
The proposed change is part of a package
of recommendations that Americas Health
Insurance Plans, the main industry trade
group released Wednesday. Others address
how to smooth transitions for consumers
who switch insurance companies, as well as
making it easier for patients to nd out
which hospitals and doctors are in particular
plans and whether their medications are cov-
ered.
What is crucial for public policy leaders
is to balance access and affordability, said
Karen Ignagni, head of the trade group.
Unless people feel that coverage is afford-
able, they wont participate in the system.
Adults ages 18-34, the
health care laws most
coveted demographic, are
under-represented among
those enrolled for subsi-
dized private insurance
this year. Insurers are cur-
rently filing their pro-
posed premiums for 2015,
and increases of 10 per-
cent or more are antici-
pated. Nonetheless, the new state insurance
exchanges are poised to grow, with more car-
riers entering the market to compete for
business.
Given the polarized politics of health care
in Washington its unclear how the indus-
trys latest proposal might advance. It might
get a chance if Republicans in Congress
abandon their crusade to repeal Obamas law
and start focusing on making changes to
individual components.
The proposal could also encounter opposi-
tion from consumer groups, which take a dim
view of catastrophic plans. Some consumer
organizations have instead called for reduc-
ing out-of-pocket costs borne by consumers
who buy a midlevel silver plan, the pick of
65 percent of those signed up this year.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
U-T San Diego
Latinos and African-Americans make up a
majority of the 6 million students in
Californias public schools. Many are good
to excellent students.
But a sizable chunk of these students,
often those from poor families where
English isnt spoken in the home, struggle
in school. Gov. Jerry Brown won approval
for a change in the states basic education
funding formula last year with the argument
that Californias future prosperity depends
considerably on getting these students the
help they need to rise to academic chal-
lenges and then go on to productive lives.
Browns argument makes sense. And it
provides the crucially important context
showing why all Californians should care
about a Los Angeles Superior Court judges
landmark ruling Tuesday in the Vergara vs.
California lawsuit. Judge Rolf Treu found
that state laws giving teachers strong life-
time employment protections after just two
years on the job had produced a school sys-
tem so hostile to minority students that it
is comparable to the unequal treatment
black students faced before the U.S.
Supreme Courts historic 1954 ruling in
Brown vs. Board of Education forced
schools to integrate.
Treu wrote that the impact of incompe-
tent teachers being disproportionately ...
in schools serving predominantly low-
income and minority students was so
severe it shocks the conscience.
There will be far more legal ghting
before Treus ruling takes effect. The judge
stayed his ruling pending appeal. There are
experts without an ideological ax to grind
who think that between the power of
employment laws and the absence of
explicit anti-minority state policies, it is
problematic for courts to frame what
California is doing as an abrogation of stu-
dents civil rights.
But even if Treus ruling is tossed, its
powerful language combined with the
runoff for state superintendent of public
instruction between incumbent Tom
Torlakson, fan of the state status quo, and
reformer Marshall Tuck makes it likely
that Californians nally will have the
debate we need about how our public educa-
tion system works.
Because of the wealth and clout of the
California Teachers Association and the
California Federation of Teachers, the sys-
tem routinely leads to veteran teachers
clustering at whiter schools in more afu-
ent communities. As Treu noted, the least
competent teachers tend to cluster at strug-
gling schools in poor neighborhoods.
Many of these ineffective teachers dont
even teach the subject in which they were
trained; a stunning California Watch inves-
tigation found that to be the case with 16
percent of teachers at schools that were
mostly low-income and Latino.
The CTAand the CFT will argue that job
protections are essential because of capri-
cious school bureaucrats. They will say the
major problem with California schools is
inadequate funding, not inadequate teach-
ers. They will depict reformers who focus
on teacher competence a group that
includes President Barack Obama as
stooges serving a shadowy corporate con-
spiracy to destroy middle-class jobs. And
they will continue their increasingly open
habit of suggesting large numbers of stu-
dents are simply beyond help.
But nothing they say can change the
massive evidence presented at the Vergara
trial showing the difculty that districts
have in ring bad teachers, and the likeli-
hood that these teachers will end up at
schools where students are most in need of
help.
America is still at war
Editor,
Every morning I look forward to reading
the Daily Journal. It allows me to be aware
of local news. And today was no different.
The front page had a story about a family
forming a 80s rock band. Cute story. Front
page. I slowly turn the paper and read about
Eric Cantors defeat and the surplus of
money to local cities. And then pages 34
and 35, titled World. On page 34, there is
an article about militants overrunning
Mosul, a city central to the stability of Iraq,
where many brave men and women fought
and died to bring freedom to millions in a
war poorly managed by politicians. On
Page 35, an article about ve American ser-
vicemembers killed by friendly re in
Afghanistan. I know the Daily Journal
focuses on local news, but losing Mosul
and having ve American servicemembers
killed should affect every American. It just
shows how removed Americans are from the
war today; how we have forgotten the brave
troops in harms way. Americans died to
free Mosul and it is back in the hands of
militants. Five more young men are dead
and ve more families are grieving. It
seems true: America is not at war America
is at the shopping mall. My thoughts are
with the families of the ve brave men in
uniform; they will not be forgotten.

Bay Bridge problems
Editor,
The article Report: Caltrans overrode
worries about Bay Bridge that appeared in
the June 9 edition of the Daily Journal
prompted me to express my dismay with the
manner in which Caltrans has addressed the
many problems with the new bridge span.
Cost overruns, rusting bolts, shoddy weld-
ing, misaligned road plates and now it is
revealed that the Chinese company that
built the tower and road had no bridge build-
ing experience. In addition, the article
revealed that a Caltrans chief executive
spent $300,000 going to Shanghai and
stayed in a $470 per night hotel. All of the
problems encountered with the building of
this bridge has resulted in there being no
consequences for those responsible for what
I consider a project that was a total asco
from the beginning. As an elected ofcial, I
cannot imagine myself or my colleagues in
neighboring cities being allowed to govern
in such a manner without being held
accountable for our actions.

Veterans care
Editor,
General Shinsekis departure is unlike-
ly to solve Veteran Affairs broader prob-
lems a bloated bureaucracy that has
been taught, over time, to hide its prob-
lems from Washington.
The festering problem predates the Obama
administration. No decisive action has been
taken and President Obama continues to
remain distant and aloof, periodically feign-
ing outrage when the media reports frustrat-
ing delays encountered by veterans desper-
ately seeking help. Even the high suicide
rate of returning soldiers, haunted by the
demons of war, failed to precipitate much
action. Layers of management grew in pro-
portion to the growing patient load it
currently stands at a staggering 12-level
chain of command all the way to the bot-
tom, where the schedulers are assigned the
critical tasks of matching veterans with the
medical help they are seeking. Thats where
the books were cooked many appoint-
ments were simply deleted. Bonuses were
awarded if the numbers looked good. The few
employees burdened with a moral con-
science were threatened with dismissal.
This follows President Obamas war on
whistle-blowers, including the New York
Times reporter, James Risen. Senior of-
cials at VAhad little interest in their subor-
dinates failings and felt safe behind the
shield of plausible deniability. Other gov-
ernment departments suffer from the same
inertia problems, most notably the depart-
ment of Homeland Security and the Defense
Intelligence Agency. What is also largely
ignored is the failure to hold accountable
those high government ofcials who made
hasty decisions to send these young men
and women to suffer the horrors of war.

Fare thee well
Y
ou cant deep-fry salad and its
kind of hard to put quinoa on a
stick.
So whats the point of having it at the
county fair?
The annual San Mateo County Fair is a
time to check ones nutritional conscious at
the gate, or at least before one gets to the
midway, and put heavy thought into which
deliverers of
transfatty
goodness and
calories are on
the menu that
day. The 80th
annual fair hap-
pening this
week should be
no different.
Will it be the
deep-fried
Twinkies and
Oreos? Perhaps
the funnel cake.
You cant have fair food without a funnel
cake. Double up on the powdered sugar and
whipped cream. Maybe chocolate sauce. If
you cant decide, consider it an excuse to
come back another day and sample some
more delicacies before settling in for the pig
races or a turn on those weird massage
chairs.
The fair is a time to eat food you would
likely never order, ingest or justify on any
other day or during many other events. Few
will opt for deep-fried bacon or double-
smothered whatever on a random Tuesday.
Puffs and fritters and caramely deliciousness
doesnt always y on those days you spent
at the gym. But go to the fair and all bets are
off. One needs their strength if theyre
going to claim victory throwing darts at
balloons or heaving ping pong balls into
cups.
Dont forget the super-sized corn dogs and
the popular french fry brick. Top it all off
with a frosty beverage, a swirl of cotton
candy or a towering cone of swirled soft
serve.
Yum.
But this year, along with all who pray to
the Church of the Deep Fat Fryer, those
unwilling to give their cholesterol and
waistline a mini-vacation at the San Mateo
County Event Center need no longer sneak
in their own tofu dogs and veggie chips for
sustenance. Using a federal nutrition grant
to help people make healthy food and exer-
cise choices, the San Mateo County Health
System and the fair paired up to offer a dif-
ferent type of fair fare. An announcement of
the new options say they now exist at a
venue not typically known for its healthy
food selection.
See? Even they know the fair is not the
place one traditionally goes for a spirulina
smoothie followed by a wheatgrass chaser.
This isnt spin class, people. This is the fair
and chances are when all those spinning
rides do their nauseous damage, fairgoers
would prefer to revisit an earlier milkshake
or cheesecake on a stick rather than any-
thing fat free, gluten free or holding on to
even a crumb of vitamins.
But to be fair pun very well intended,
thank you not everybody heading out to
view the winners of the table decorating cat-
egory or watch a metal hair band rock out
believes the annual ode to agriculture and
crafts is an excuse to dive head rst into
gluttony. For those seeking wellness, the
fair requires all vendors this year to include a
healthy option meeting nutritional criteria
for calories, portion size and use of fruit and
vegetables. The county said attendees can
also indulge themselves with cooking
demos and recipes featuring ve county-
grown vegetables: artichokes, fava beans,
leeks, peas and Brussels sprouts.
Not sure about the peas and beans, but a
stick of Brussels sprouts doesnt sound half
bad. At least if its fried and drizzled with bal-
samic.

NEW YORK The stock market
fell back from record levels
Wednesday because of a weaker fore-
cast for global growth and concerns
about airline profits.
Delta Air Lines and other carriers
fell after Germanys Lufthansa warned
of smaller profits. Boeing slid after
analysts said that most of the good
news about the plane maker was
already priced into the stock.
Stocks opened lower after the World
Bank predicted weaker global growth
this year, citing a tough winter in
America and the political crisis in
Ukraine. The bank said late Tuesday
that it expects the world economy to
grow 2.8 percent this year instead of
the 3.2 percent it predicted in
January.
The report was a reality check for
investors who had pushed major stock
indexes to all-time highs this week
amid optimism that the U.S. economy
was strengthening. Stronger growth
should translate into higher revenues
and better results for U.S. companies.
Stocks were going up so much in
the last few days that they were due for
a little breather, said Brad Sorensen,
director of market and sector research
at Charles Schwab.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell 6.90 points, or 0.4 percent, to
1,943.89. The index had closed at a
record of 1,951.27 on Monday. The
Dow Jones industrial average dropped
102.04 points, or 0.6 percent, to
16, 843. 88. The Nasdaq composite
slipped 6.07 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 4,331.93.
On Wednesday, airline stocks were
among the big losers after Lufthansa
warned of smaller profits caused by
weaker passenger demand. Lufthansa
AG cut its forecast for 2014 and 2015
operating income due to the weaker
demand and strikes, among other rea-
sons. Delta dropped $1.21, or 3 per-
cent, to $40.71, making it the sec-
ond-biggest loser among S&P 500
stocks.
Still, Deltas stock is up 48 percent
this year, the most of any U.S. carrier.
United Continental fell $2.50, or 5
percent, to $45.26 and American
Airlines slid $1.37, or 3 percent, to
$42.29.
Boeing was another big decliner.
The plane makers stock fell $3.15,
or 2.3 percent, to $134.10 after ana-
lysts at RBC said that after three years
of record orders and with no new
planes in the pipeline, the good news
for Boeing is already out there.
Despite Wednesdays setback, the
S&P 500 has been on a slow and
steady climb since April and is now up
5.2 percent for the year. In recent
weeks, encouraging economic reports
on hiring have bolstered optimism
that growth will accelerate.
The rally in stocks should continue
this year as the economy strengthens,
said James Liu, global market strate-
gist at JPMorgan Funds. In the last
month, stock gains have been led by
the technology and consumer discre-
tionary sectors, which should benefit
more from stronger growth. This
move is going to be what drives the
market further along, Liu said.
Still, others believe that stock
investors need to have more modest
expectations for stock returns after
last years big gains when the S&P
500 surged almost 30 percent. Stock
valuations have already risen signifi-
cantly and, after years of cost-cut-
ting, companies may struggle to
boost profit margins unless economic
growth picks up significantly, said
John Toohey, head of equities at
USAA, a financial services company.
Margins are high, so really how
much margin expansion is left?, said
Toohey.
In government bond trading, bonds
gained as stocks fell. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note, which moves
inversely to its price, dropped to 2.64
percent from 2.65 percent on Tuesday.
Stocks fall as World Bank cuts growth outlook
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Soccer fans will focus
on Brazil and the start of the World Cup
Thursday, but investors have been
entranced by that nations stock market
for months.
Brazil has company. From Sao Paulo
to Mumbai, investors are regaining
their faith in emerging markets this
year.
Its a big shift from 2013, when
investment in those markets dried up
because of worries about their slowing
economic growth. It got so tough that
ve big developing markets Brazil,
South Africa, India, Indonesia and
Turkey were dubbed the Fragile Five
by analysts at Morgan Stanley.
Now those countries are much more
appealing to investors. Some have
taken actions to strengthen their
economies. Others have gone through
political changes that have bolstered
investor condence. At the same time,
slower growth in the U.S. has made
investing overseas more alluring.
These countries have done some
homework to reduce their fragilities,
says Jorge Mariscal, chief investment
ofcer for emerging markets at UBS
Wealth Management. They have helped
themselves a bit.
The Fragile Five raised interest rates
to draw investors cash back into their
countries. India, for example, lifted its
rate from 7.25 percent in September to 8
percent in March; Brazil hiked rates
from 7.5 percent in May of last year to
their current level of 11 percent.
Higher interest rates are appealing to
investors in the U.S., where the Federal
Reserve has held its benchmark lending
rate at close to zero for more than ve
years, and where bond yields remain low.
In India, the government has also
raised duties on gold. The metal is Indias
second-biggest import behind oil, and
purchases have soared in recent years as
incomes have risen there. The increased
buying has sped up the ow of money
out of the country, and weakened its cur-
rency.
Politics are also playing a role.
Last month, Narendra Modi and the
Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party
notched the most decisive Indian elec-
tion victory in three decades. Modi mar-
keted himself as a leader capable of shak-
ing the nation from its economic slum-
ber, and his clear win should allow him
to reform the economy.
Brazil, other markets are no longer Fragile Five
Alibabas first U.S. presence 11 Main debuts
NEWYORK Chinas largest e-commerce company
is making its first appearance in the U.S. with the debut
of 11Main.com, an invite-only online marketplace that
showcases small business retailers.
Industry watchers will be paying close attention
because 11 Main is owned by Alibaba, the e-commerce
giant in China that filed for an initial public offering in
the U.S. in May. Bigger than Amazon and eBay com-
bined, Alibaba had no U.S. e-commerce presence until
now.
Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru believes Alibaba
wont find it easy to break into the crowded online
shopping industry.
U.S. e-commerce is crowded and relies on high mar-
keting expenses to rise above the clutter, she said.
The hope is high. Well see if they live up to expecta-
tions.
For now, Alibaba is starting small with 11 Main,
based in San Mateo, California. The site, which debuts
Wednesday in a beta phase, will feature hundreds of
thousands of products from 1,000 to 2,000 upscale
specialty shops and boutiques around the country that
were vetted by 11 Main.
11 Main is going live just as Alibaba prepares to go
public. Although its not well-known in the United
States, Alibaba is a powerhouse that helped drive the
rise of e-commerce in China, a transformation that has
given millions of households greater access to clothes,
books and consumer electronics in a society that in the
1980s still required ration tickets for some supermarket
items.
The 15-year-old company has navigated technical and
financial challenges and a battle with eBay Inc. to
become the worlds biggest online bazaar and is now
planning to sell stock in the U.S. Analysts say its ini-
tial public offering planned for later this year could
raise up to $20 billion.
Tweet self-propagates through TweetDeck
NEWYORK Atweet containing computer code has
started propagating itself through Twitter by taking
advantage of a security flaw in Twitters TweetDeck
application.
In response, Twitter shut down the applications
access to tweets.
The tweet is automatically retweeted, or sent out
again, when processed by TweetDeck. Affected tweeters
saw pop-up windows on their screens. The tweet was
retweeted tens of thousands of times Wednesday.
Twitter, which owns TweetDeck, initially told
TweetDeck users to log out and log back in. When that
proved ineffective, it shut down the applications access
to tweets.
Its not the first time tweets containing JavaScript
code have self-propagated through security holes in
Twitter. The last major outbreak was in 2010.

T
here will be two key questions that
will be asked ad nauseum over the
next few weeks with the kickoff
today of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil: who
will win the World Cup and how will the
Americans do?
Lets answer the who will win question
rst. The easy answer is, who knows? There
is no athletic tournament in the world more
unpredictable than the World Cup because
soccer can be the most maddening of sports.
The best team doesnt always win on any
given day and upsets are the norm, not the
exception, when it comes to the World Cup.
While that may be the easiest answer, the
best response may be Brazil. After seeing
the Canarinho knocked out in the quarter-
nals in both 2006 and
2010, the Brazilians are
the odds-on favorites to
win their sixth World
Cup title.
Everything is going
Brazils way right now.
It is hosting the event
and past history sug-
gests the host country
always plays well.
There is also the fact
that no European team
has won a World Cup in
the Americas neither
Mexico in 1986, the United States in 1994
nor any time the Cup has been hosted by a
South American country. Adding to the
European chore will be the heat and humidity
in Brazil, which could wear down the
Europeans.
Secondly, Brazil is coming off a win in
last summers Confederations Cup which
serves as a dry run for the World Cup. Brazil
dismantled defending World Cup champion
Spain 3-0 a year ago to all but cement their
status as the front-runner for the 2014 Cup.
Third, Brazil boasts one of the best play-
ers in the world in Neymar and this could be
his coming out party.
Not that it would be easy. In my break-
down, I have Brazil winning Group Aand
Questions will finally be answered

Based on Brad Degnans perform-
ance Wednesday, it would seem like
the San Carlos Joe DiMaggio slug-
ger does not like to DH.
San Carlos remained unbeaten
through six games this season with a
7-1 win over the Barbarians of San
Francisco, and Degnan was the driv-
ing force. After starting the game as
the teams designated hitter, Degnan
was moved into center eld follow-
ing his rst at-bat in which he rolled
a harmless groundout to second base.
The sweet-swinging Degnan
ultimately went 2 for 4 with a dou-
ble and home run. This on the
heels of hitting for the cycle over
two games Sunday in a double-
header sweep of Burlingame.
He just loves to swing, San
Carlos manager Brian Ramsey said.
Degnan actually requested to serve
as the teams designated hitter
Wednesday, but an injury to starting
left elder Conner Sick forced Ramsey
to recongure his defense after the rst
inning. And with San Carlos holding a
1-0 advantage through three innings,
Degnan emerged as a force both sides
of the ball.

For the rst time in Scott Picklers 17-
year managerial career in the Cape Cod
League, his Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox had
no Stanford players on its opening day ros-
ter.
While the fact is something of a shocker,
former Stanford coach Dave Nakama now
the manager at San Jose State still has
one of his guys in the fray with Spartans
outelder Andre Mercurio.
A former Serra High School standout,
Mercurio is coming off a junior season in
which he served as San Jose States primary
leadoff hitter. Battling through a wrist
injury which cost him 10 games in the early
season, the left-handed hitting speedster
nished with a .280 batting average for a
Spartans squad which hit a modest .263 as a
team.
Looks like he runs well, handles the bat
well, and hes just exactly what Dave
Nakama said. Hes a baseball player,
Pickler said.
With the Cape Cod Leagues opening day
being celebrated Wednesday, Yarmouth-
Dennis featured a starting lineup with
Mercurio playing left field and batting
eighth, and USF inelder Nico Giarratano
son of Dons manager Nino Giarratano
playing second base and batting ninth.
Like many of the elite amateur players to
play in the premier summer collegiate
league in the nation, Mercurio arrived in the
Cape just this week. And his utility on the
Yarmouth-Dennis roster somewhat bucked
convention for Pickler,
whose squad is already
loaded with left-handed
hitting outelders.
Dave Nakama called
me earlier in the year
and said I have an out-
elder, Pickler said. I
said, tell me hes not left-
handed. He was left-hand-
ed. [Nakama] said he was
a great baseball player and, Your type of
guy. I said, Alright, Ill take him. I can
take him as a temporary player, not on a full
contract, because I was looking for a right-
handed hitter. Because all three outelders I
had previously chose were all left-handed
hitters.
Cape team loaded
The three left-handed-hitting outfielder
slated to start for the Red Sox this season
are BYU freshman Brennon Lund, Hartford
junior Ryan Lukach and LSU sophomore
Andrew Stevenson. With Stevenson arriv-
ing at the Cape Wednesday fresh off LSUs
appearance in the Baton Rouge regional
playoffs, Pickler is intent on giving the
burgeoning collegiate star a few days to
acclimate, hence the opportunity for
Mercurio to crack the opening-day lineup.
With the loss of Florida State slugger D.J.
Stewart, who was named to the Team U.S.A.
roster earlier this month, Yarmouth-Dennis
may opt to keep Mercurio on the roster for
the remainder of the summer season.
One of my outfielders will probably
make the team, Pickler said. And if they
dont make it with us, they can make it with
another club if they get off to a good start.
Its like piecing a puzzle together.
Pickler has traditionally had some
extraordinary puzzle pieces to work with. In
last weeks Major League Baseball First-
Year Player Draft, Yarmouth-Dennis saw a
slew of former players selected, including
standout Stanford third baseman Alex
Blandino.
Posey left his mark
One of the most prestigious players to
come out of the Cape in recent years was for-
mer Yarmouth-Dennis two-time Cape Cod
League All-Star Buster Posey, who demon-
strated his storied collegiate versatility in
two seasons with the Red Sox.
Following his freshman season at Florida
State, Posey was recruited by Pickler as a
pitcher. Posey ultimately anchored
Yarmouth-Dennis at shortstop, while clos-
ing two games with a 92-93 mph fastball,
according to Pickler. The next year, Posey
changed positions to his now natural place
as a catcher. And the now San Francisco
Giants great just kept on rolling by cutting
his teeth toward becoming a two-time World
Series champ by leading Yarmouth-Dennis
which included other current big leaguers
Jason Castro, Gordon Beckham, David
Robertson and Collin Cowgill to back-
to-back Cape Cod League titles.
The next year he called me and said,
Pick, Im not playing shortstop anymore,
Im catching, Pickler said. And he came
up here as a catcher and he made the All-Star
team both years and we won championships
both years.
Pickler said he recognized the big-league
potential in Posey as an amateur, though it
was tough for anyone to predict what an
instant sensation he would become upon
arriving in San Francisco.
I knew he was a great player, Pickler said.
I didnt know he was going to be the MVP
and win World Series. He was the hardest
worker Ive had a quiet young man. I could
see he was going to be a big leaguer. Did I
know he was going to be an MVPand the type
of player he is? No. But I knew he was going
to play in the big leagues.
Entering into this season, Yarmouth-
Dennis again features an array of promising
talent. Slated for Wednesdays opening-day
start was UNLV junior right-hander Bryan
Bonnell. Perhaps the most high-prole arm in
the mix is Cal State Fullerton right-hander
Phil Bickford, fresh off a freshman season in
which he posted a 6-3 season in which he
posted a 2.13 ERAthrough 76 innings.
Bickford made headlines during the 2013
MLB Draft as a rst-round pick of the Toronto
Blue Jays, but the Newbury Park native
bypassed the pros to attend Fullerton.
Yarmouth-Dennis president Steve Faucher
picked up Bickford from the airport Monday,
when he arrived at one of the most exciting
baseball environments in the nation sur-
rounding the summer months of the Cape Cod
League.
Oh my God. Everybody is pumped and
ready to go, Faucher said. I just picked up
[Bickford] from the airport and he was so
excited, I dont think he slept a wink last
night. And neither did I.

In the top of the fourth an
inning in which the Barbarians
stranded the bases loaded without
scoring Degnan effortlessly
chased down a low liner off the bat
of Brandon Balladares. Then after
San Carlos starting pitcher Sean
Yao escaped the jam unscathed,
Degnan led off the bottom of the
frame by scorching a double to
right-center, sparking a three-run
rally to give his starting pitcher
some breathing room.
After San Carlos sent nine batters
to the plate in the fourth, Degnan led
off the fth with a booming drive
over the right elder and motored all
the way around for the round tripper.
In his third year with San
Carlos, Degnan has impressed San
Carlos fth-year manager both on
and off the eld.
Hes just been a good kid,
Ramsey said. Everything we ask
him to do, hes done it.
Yao went four shutout innings to
earn the win in his rst start of the
season. He has been the workhorse
out of the San Carlos bullpen this sea-
son, pitching in nearly every game.
Hes the type of arm that can
throw a lot of innings because his
arm never bothers him, Ramsey
said. We were planning on just
throwing him every game (in relief).
San Carlos Antonio Arellano
closed it out. The big right-hander
worked two innings, allowing one
run on two hits. Having just
wrapped up his junior season at
Sequoia, Arellano didnt pitch for
the Cherokees this season due to
the exceptionally deep staff that
helped the team to the Central
Coast Section seminals.
We had a large seniors pitching
staff, Arellano said. We had
(Peninsula Athletic Bay Division)
Pitcher of the Year Kyle Cambron,
rst-team All Leaguer Cameron
Greenough. We were pretty deep in
senior pitchers and no junior pitch-
ers got to pitch this year.
With Cambron and Greenough
both graduating, Arellano gures to
be a key component for the Sequoia
pitching staff next season, he said.
Im going to be probably the
main pitcher next year, Arellano
said. Im just trying to maintain
my form and do my thing.
San Carlos also has a stacked
pitching staff this season. Derek
Azzopardi and Joe Pratt have
emerged as the mainstays of the
starting rotation. Pratt is fresh off
serving as Carlmonts No. 2
starter, posting a 4-3 record and a
2.62 ERAover 42 2/3 innings as a
junior for the Scots. Azzopardi just
nished his sophomore season at
American International College in
Springeld, Massachusetts.
The Barbarians got solid per-
formances from their Lick-
Wilmerding tandem of Balladares
and Frankie Lewis. Despite having
a potential hit taken away from him
by Degnan in the fourth, Balladares
was 2 for 4 on the evening. Lewis,
the Barbarians starting pitcher,
surrendered four runs over four
innings to take the loss. But he
kept San Carlos in check through
the rst three innings.
Mike Michelini and Diego
Arellano also had two hits apiece
for San Carlos. Max Michelini had
a two-run single in the fourth.

JOE D.
back in the rst round against San
Jose.
Its not impossible, Lundqvist
said.
Twice Los Angeles put the puck
on the goal line, but couldnt get it
all the way across. The last came
with 1:11 left when Rangers for-
ward Derek Stepan pushed the puck
out of danger in the crease after it
got behind Lundqvist.
I was just holding my breath,
Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi
said. All those guys in the crease
did a great job to keep it out.
Pouliot scored 7:25 into the rst
period and St. Louis added a goal in
the second. New York squandered
multiple two-goal advantages in
losing the rst two games in over-
time in Los Angeles.
Not this time.
Lundqvist and the Rangers con-
tinued their mastery of extending
their seasons. New York is 11-2 in
the past 13 games when facing
elimination, and Lundqvist was in
goal for all of them.
When everything is on the
line, you just have to challenge
yourself the right way, Lundqvist
said. You have to be focused. One
mistake and the season is over.
Youre denitely aware of that.
The Rangers also have won an
NHL-record eight consecutive
home games when facing elimina-
tion, dating to 2008, behind
Lundqvist.
We got our rst one, St. Louis
said, and Im sure thats going to
help our mood.
The Kings were quick to the puck all
night and pressed for the tying goal in
the third. They outshot the Rangers
15-1 in the frame and 41-19 overall.
I think we sat back a little too
much in the third period, but we
didnt blow the lead this time,
Stepan said.
Two nights after Jonathan Quick
stopped 32 shots in a 3-0 victory
that put the Kings on the brink of
another championship, Pouliot
got a puck past him.
St. Louis then put in a rebound at
the left post 6:27 into the second,
giving the Rangers their fth two-
goal lead of the series. But just
like in Games 1 and 2, a two-goal
decit sparked the Kings.
At the tail end of a Rangers
power play, Girardi broke his stick
and lost the puck to Kings captain
Dustin Brown for a breakaway.
Brown made several moves in front
of Lundqvist before tucking a fore-
hand inside the right post to make it
2-1 with 11:13 left in the second.
The Kings had a chance to get
even, but the Rangers killed
Dominic Moores cross-checking
penalty late in the period. Jeff
Carter then got behind Girardi
before being stopped on a break-
away by Lundqvist.
Pouliot broke Quicks shutout
streak at 123 minutes, 1 second.
New York hadnt scored since
Derick Brassards second-period
goal in Game 2. Pouliots fth
goal of the playoffs came 2 sec-
onds after Kings defenseman
Willie Mitchell nished serving a
high-sticking penalty.
John Moore red a drive from
the center of the blue line that
Pouliot deflected high with his
stick blade into the top right cor-
ner behind Quick.
The Kings almost tied it at 1-1
with 8:11 left in the rst period
seconds into a power play when
defenseman Alec Martinezs shot
got behind Lundqvist and slid
along the red goal line without
crossing it. Rangers defenseman
Anton Stralman cleared the puck
away as Carter and Marian Gaborik
pressured in the crease.
Video replay clearly showed that
the puck didnt go over the line.
The Garden had a different feel
than the optimistic atmosphere of
Game 3 when the Rangers returned
home. There were no T-shirts
draped over the seats, and some of
the seats in prime-viewing areas
were empty. But as the Rangers
started to score, the crowd slowly
came alive, roaring in approval.

history. Im predicting the Yanks will not
only make it out of the Group of Death, Im
saying they advance to the quarternals,
eventually losing to Argentina.
Am I crazy? Probably, but the more I
think about it, the more I like the
Americans chances of advancing deeper in
a World Cup than they ever have.
Hear me out. In group play, the U.S.
opens with Ghana, who many may remem-
ber having knocked the Americans out of
the last two World Cups. My thinking here
is, however, they are getting Ghana before
the Black Stars can build up their con-
dence. In the two previous matches against
the U.S., Ghana has eliminated the Yanks
in the round of 16. In those two matches,
Ghana had a full head of steam. This time,
the Black Stars will come into the game
wondering where they are as a team. Just
enough doubt for the Americans to pull out
a huge win.
Next up is Portugal, the No. 4 ranked
team in the world and when it comes to
the World Cup, one of the most consistent-
ly underperforming team of all time. The
U.S. beat the heavily favored Selacao das
Quinas 3-2 to open the 2002 World Cup
group play and the Americans ended up
advancing out of group.
This time, Portugal is led by the likes of
Cristiano Ronaldo, the reigning world
player of the year. But Ronaldo is nursing
leg injuries ahead of the Cup which could
limit his effectiveness, despite a strong
showing in a 5-1 win over Ireland in a prep
game Tuesday. There is also the fact the
aggressive Portuguese defense might leave
some holes in the back in their quest to
push forward. The U.S. defense has its own
questions, but again, I think the U.S.
shocks everyone and pulls out a win.
With two wins in group play under their
belts, the U.S. closes group play against
Cup favorite Germany. If there is one thing
the Americans should have over the
Germans, its tness. U.S. coach Jurgen
Klinsmann has his team in peak form to
deal with the sweltering conditions expect-
ed to greet them in Brazil. Germany may
think its conditioned, but they will nd
out it is not.
There is also the fact the U.S. drilled
Germany in a friendly a year ago, granted
the Germans B team, but a Germany side
nonetheless. If it comes down to these two
teams being undefeated in group play, look
for one of the best games of pool play as
they battle it out for the top spot in Group
G. Ill predict a tie for this match. Goal dif-
ferential could decide which teams gets the
No. 1 seed out of the group. For sake of
argument, lets say Germany takes the top
spot with the U.S. as the second qualier
out of the group.
That would send the Americans to the
round of 16 where they would most likely
face Belgium, who I predict will win Group
H. By this time, the U.S. will be ying
high and even a strong side like the Red
Devils wont be enough as the U.S.
advances to the quarternals.
Where their Cup dreams will end. In my
draw, I have the U.S. facing Argentina in
the nal eight and its at this point I wake
from my delirium and have La Albicelestes
ending the Americans run to soccer glory.
What makes me think the U.S. even has a
chance to advance out of the group stage,
where many believe they have a stronger
chance of going 0-3? For some reason, I
just have a feeling Klinsmann is sand bag-
ging his team. I think hes just lying in the
weeds, waiting to ambush the rest of the
world. I think he believes his team is ready
to be more than competitive and really has
the drive to make a run deep into the tour-
nament.
Now, while many are probably shocked
to see me predict the U.S. to win three or
four games, I wouldnt be stunned to see the
Americans go winless in group play and
slink home either.
Breaking down the 32
Athird question likely to linger for the
next week to 10 days: who are the favorites
to win the World Cup?
The list of the teams who have the best
shot of hoisting the Cup are not new. Its a
relatively small group and includes the
likes of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Spain
and Netherlands. Any one of these ve
could end up winning it all and it wouldnt
be a surprise.
Then there is the old guard that includes
European stalwarts England, France, Italy
and Portugal, as well as the African contin-
gent of Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria.
Any of the four European teams could
easily nd their way deep into the tourna-
ment, based on reputation alone. But the
world soccer scene is changing and these
teams have a history of underperforming in
recent Cups.
The African teams are still riding on the
coattails of Cameroons run to the 1990
quarternals. While all have ability to
advance out of group play, none have done
much past that.
If there is an old guard, there has to be a
new guard and that group includes Belgium,
Colombia, Switzerland and Uruguay. A
force leading up to the 1994 World Cup in
the United States, Colombias federation
was knocked back a couple decades with
their surprising loss to the U.S. in the rst
game, which ultimately led to the killing
of defender Andres Escobar just weeks after
Colombia was eliminated from the World
Cup. Escobar scored an own-goal in the
loss to the Americans.
Colombia, however, is back among the
elite, ranked No. 8 in the world. Uruguay
was in the seminals four years ago and
ended up nishing fourth, while Belgium
has been among the best in Europe the last
few years.
The dark horses are those teams that
while having a high world ranking, have a
lot of work to do to even advance out of the
group stage. This group includes the U.S.,
Mexico, the Baltic states of Croatia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, Russia and
Chile. Of this group, Greece has the high-
est world ranking at No. 12, but the U.S. is
right behind Greece at No. 13. The
Americans, however, have the toughest
road, playing in The Group of Death.
Thats 23 of 32 teams accounted for. I
will not, however, lump any teams into a
no way they can win group because that
is simply unfair. To advance this far means
a team has to be good and as Ive said
before, soccer is a funny game.
But every four years, its also the most
exciting sport in the world.

American striker Jozy Altidore, shown here holding off a Turkey defender, will need to
rediscover his scoring touch for the U.S. to have any chance of advancing deep in the World

SAN FRANCISCO Jayson
Werth hit his rst homer in almost
a month and drove in three runs,
and the Washington Nationals
capitalized on Matt Cains erratic
start to beat the San Francisco
Giants 6-2 on Wednesday night for
their fourth straight win.
Cain (1-4) walked the rst three
batters he faced before Adam
LaRoches two-run single high-
lighted a three-run rst inning.
Werths solo shot in the fth and
two-run single in the ninth pro-
vided the rest of the pop for the
Nationals, who have won 10 of
12, including the last three at San
Francisco.
Tanner Roark (5-4) allowed two
runs and seven hits in six-plus
innings for Washington. He struck
out four and walked none.
Brandon Crawford and Pablo
Sandoval each drove in a run for
the Giants, who have lost a sea-
son-high tying three straight after
winning ve in a row to take over
baseballs best record.
Cains struggles might have
been the most disappointing
thing of all for the Giants.
In his second start since a stint
on the disabled list with a strained
right hamstring, the former ace
reverted back to his early season
woes against Washington. Cain
gave up four runs and three hits in
five innings, walking five and
striking out four.
The finale of the four-game
series is Thursday, but the NLEast-
leading Nationals already have
handed San Francisco its first
series loss since the Giants were
swept at Pittsburgh from May 5-7.
The Giants had not lost two in a
row since May 16-17 to the
Marlins until the Nationals
showed up in San Francisco this
week.
Even with standouts Bryce
Harper and Gio Gonzalez on the
disabled list, Washington is surg-
ing up the standings thanks to a
consistent approach at the plate,
on the mound and in the eld.
Roark worked fast and attacked
hitters, and Washingtons defense
did the rest.
After Crawfords RBI triple in
the fourth, second baseman Danny
Espinosa made a diving stop on
Gregor Blancos sharp grounder
and threw out the speedy runner at
first. Ryan Zimmerman also
swiped another run from San
Francisco in the sixth, when the
former third baseman made a div-
ing catch of Crawfords y to left
after Michael Morse doubled.
Sandoval, scratched from the
starting lineup because of an ill-
ness, singled home a run as a
pinch-hitter in the seventh to
whittle Washingtons lead to 4-2.
Zimmerman, lling in for Harper
in left, slid in to snag Angel
Pagans short y for the third out.
With his back right leg almost
touching the dirt, Werth went low
to launch his sixth homer of the
season to put the Nationals up 4-1
in the fth. Werth, who had not
homered since May 14 at Arizona,
singled with two outs in the ninth
off Yusmeiro Petit to extend
Washingtons lead to 6-2.
Drew Storen, Tyler Clippard and
Jerry Blevins each tossed a score-
less inning to help Washington
nished off San Francisco again.
NOTES: The Giants traded left-han-
der David Huff back to the Yankees for
cash. He was sent to San Francisco in
January for cash after the Yankees
signed Masahiro Tanaka.

VENICE, Italy In an era of starchi-
tects, Rem Koolhaas, who merits mention
as one himself, wants to strip the discipline
to its barest elements, bypassing the cult of
personality and any architectural grandiosi-
t y.
Koolhaas had no time to waste as he hur-
riedly but efficiently guided visitors
through a one-hour tour of his exhibit
Elements of Architecture shortly before
it opened here last weekend as part of the
Venice Biennales 14th International
Architecture Exhibit. The exhibit covers
nothing less than architectures evolution
from homo erectus rst man-made re to
heating xtures of the future, focusing on
the plainer elements: ceilings unnoticed
overhead; corridors too quickly bypassed;
those overlooked conveyances, elevators.
If you look at each element in isola-
tion you can feel its powerful, psycho-
logical dimension, Koolhaas said, beyond
any technical, artistic and pragmatic
details.
Koolhaas, 69, is known for eschewing a
dened aesthetic in favor of using modern
materials and technology to meet clients
needs. Projects by the Dutch architect and
the team he leads at Rotterdam-based OMA
have included a plan for the city center of
Lille, France, as well as such award-winning
buildings as the Netherlands Embassy in
Berlin and the new Seattle public library.
In preparing for the Biennale, Koolhaas
seemed thrilled to have found kindred spir-
its taken with the fundamentals of the archi-
tecture that surrounds us daily, such as a
German professors thesis on the corridor
and an Italian scholars study of false ceil-
ings. He himself has written a treatise on
elevators.
Rem Koolhaas strips architecture in Biennale
By Lee Reich
Marigold is among the most widely
planted and, hence, mundane of owers. Yet
I enjoy them as an essential part of summer
with their yolk-like blooms and pungent
foliage.
For those who are bored by marigolds, as
well as those who love them, let me intro-
duce Lemon Gem and its kin.
Lemon Gem is unlike most familiar
marigolds. It belongs to a different species,
in fact, than the French or African
marigolds soon to open their sunny heads
in gardens almost everywhere. Those
marigolds you grow for their owers
large, solid-color pompoms in the case of
the African marigolds (Tagetes erecta), and
smaller, sometimes multicolored single or
double owers in the case of the French
marigolds (T. patula).
A GEM OF A PLANT
Lemon Gem is one variety of the so-called
Signet marigolds (T. tenufolia), which you
might grow just for their leaves. The plants
are dainty, no more than about 8 inches
high, with leaves that have a ferny texture
and bright green color. Lemon Gem leaves
also reputedly have a lemony aroma,
although my nose has never picked it up.
The ferny leaves are a perfect background
for knitting together various parts of a
ower bed or mixed border. They would be
ideal for a knot garden, the kind of garden
that has narrow rows of dense, low-growing
plants patterned into a two-dimensional
design.
Lemon Gem isnt the only Signet
marigold on the block. Look also for
Tangerine Gem, Red Gem and others.
OTHER FOLIAGE MARIGOLDS
Speaking of marigold leaves, lets look
for one moment at two other marigold
species notable for leaves. The leaves of
Spanish tarragon (T. lucida) have an anise
scent and are grown as a substitute for real
tarragon where its too hot or humid for that
plant. Besides its use as avoring, Spanish
tarragon has also been recommended in a
16th century herbal for hiccups and for
crossing water safely.
Irish Lace (T. lifolia) is the other species
of foliage marigold, this one with lacy
leaves not unlike that of Lemon Gem. Irish
Lace has a sweet, anise-y avor, good for
tea, as a avoring or just for nibbling. (No
marigold should be consumed in too great a
quantity.) Both Spanish tarragon and Irish
lace also bear owers, but tiny white ones
hardly worth mention.
LEMON GEM FLOWERS
Back to Lemon Gem: Besides being a
compact mound of dainty greenery, Lemon
Gem does indeed bear owers. Pretty ones.
Each ower is half an inch across, single
and lemon yellow. You might think nothing
of them from this description, but they pop
out profusely through the foliage, each star-
ing out against the verdant backdrop like a
star twinkling in the night sky. In my gar-
den, Lemon Gem always stops visitors in
their tracks and elicits the question, What
is that plant?
Like other marigolds, Lemon Gem is easy
to grow. I sowed seed indoors about a month
ago, but you could just plant it outdoors
now. Sown directly in the garden, the rst
blossoms are a bit delayed, but marigolds
are precocious, so the plants bloom in just
a few weeks anyway.
Lemon Gem marigold offers unusual foliage, flowers
Lemon Gem isnt the only Signet marigold on the block.Look also for Tangerine Gem,Red Gem
and others.

LOCAL/WORLD
With no obvious replacement for Prime Minister Nouri al-
Maliki and no apparent intent on his part to step down
Washington is largely resigned to continue working with
his Shiite-led government that has targeted Sunni political
opponents and, in turn, has inamed sectarian tensions
across Iraq.
Hes obviously not been a good prime minister, said
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, top Republican on the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has not done a
good job of reaching out to the Sunni population, which has
caused them to be more receptive to al-Qaida efforts.
The panels chairman, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., noted
only lukewarm support for al-Maliki, both in Iraq and
among U.S. ofcials. I dont know whether or not he will
actually be the prime minister again, Menendez said. I
guess by many accounts, he may very well ultimately put
(together) the coalition necessary to do that.
Insurgents with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,
which is inspired by al-Qaida, overran the northern Iraqi
town of Tikrit on Wednesday, a day after seizing Mosul, the
nations second-largest city. The insurgent network has
controlled the western city of Fallujah since the start of this
year, and is ghting to take over Beiji, a key northern oil
renery town.
The rampage has raised new doubts about al-Malikis abil-
ity to protect Iraq in areas that were mostly calm when U.S.
troops withdrew from the country less than three years ago.
Since then, violence has roared back to Iraq, returning to
levels comparable to the darkest days of sectarian ghting
nearly a decade ago when the country teetered on the brink
of civil war.
Al-Maliki and other Iraqi leaders have pleaded with the
Obama administration for more than a year for additional
help to combat the growing insurgency, which has been
fueled by the unrelenting civil war in neighboring Syria.
Northern Iraq has become a way station for insurgents who
routinely travel between the two countries and are seeding
the Syrian wars violence in Baghdad and beyond.
AID
released.
Prosecutors had been awaiting the
results of blood tests on Scott before
filing charges which they did
Wednesday, District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.
Scott is due in court Aug. 5 on two
alternative misdemeanor DUI
charges, one of driving with more
with .08 in the blood and another of
driving while under the influence.
Scott is currently the assistant pre-
siding judge which is the second-
highest rank in San Mateo County
Superior Court. Scott joined the
bench in 2003 and his current six-
year term expires in 2017.
He has no prior DUI arrests.
Wagstaffe said the last time his
office prosecuted a judge on DUI
charges as in the 1970s. That judge
was convicted and continued to serve
on the bench without incident,
Wagstaffe said.
SCOTT
The advance into former insurgent
strongholds that had largely been calm
before the Americans withdrew less
than three years ago is spreading fear
that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki,
struggling to hold onto power after
indecisive elections, will be unable to
stop the Islamic militants as they
press closer to Baghdad.
Fighters from the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant militant group
took control Tuesday of much of Iraqs
second-largest city, Mosul, sending an
estimated half a million people eeing
from their homes. As in Tikrit, the
Sunni militants were able to move in
after police and military forces melted
away after relatively brief clashes.
The group, which has seized wide
swaths of territory, aims to create an
Islamic emirate spanning both sides of
the Iraq-Syria border.
The capture of Mosul along with
the fall of Tikrit and the militants ear-
lier seizure of the western city of
Fallujah have undone hard-fought
gains against insurgents in the years
following the 2003 invasion by U.S.-
led forces.
The White House said the security
situation has deteriorated over the past
24 hours and that the United States was
deeply concerned about ISILs con-
tinued aggression.
There were no reliable estimates of
casualties or the number of insurgents
involved, though several hundred gun-
men were in Tikrit and more were ght-
ing on the outskirts, said Mizhar
Fleih, the deputy head of the municipal
council of nearby Samarra. An even
larger number of militants likely
would have been needed to secure
Mosul, a much bigger city.
The militants gained entry to the
Turkish consulate in Mosul and held
captive 48 people, including diplo-
mats, police, consulate employees and
three children, according to an ofcial
in the ofce of Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkish of-
cials believe the hostages are safe, he
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because he was not author-
ized to comment to reporters on the
sensitive issue.
The White House said in a statement
that Vice President Joe Biden spoke
with Erdogan and called for the safe and
immediate return of the Turkish per-
sonnel and family members. The Vice
President told Prime Minister Erdogan
that the United States is prepared to
support Turkeys efforts to bring about
the safe return of its citizens.
Turkish ofcials did not make any
public comment on the seizure, but the
state-run Anadolu Agency reported that
Erdogan convened an emergency
Cabinet meeting. U.N. Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon strongly con-
demned the abductions and the seizure
of Iraqi territory by the militants, urg-
ing the international community to
unite in showing solidarity with Iraq
as it confronts this serious security
challenge.
Terrorism must not be allowed to
succeed in undoing the path towards
democracy in Iraq, Ban said.
While the insurgents have advanced
southward, Baghdad did not appear to
be in imminent danger from a similar
assault, although Sunni insurgents
have stepped up car bombings and sui-
cide attacks in the capital in recent
months.

MILWAUKEE The Kohler
sink in your bathroom may be
more of a work of art than you
realize.
The company known for
kitchen and bathroom fixtures
has opened its factory floor to
artists for the past 40 years,
allowing them to share ideas and
techniques with factory workers
so that both can be inspired.
Three artists have created
pieces produced by Kohler Co.,
and many more have gone on to
design for other companies.
The program, celebrating its
40th anniversary, is notable for
its longevity and impact on the
arts world, said Larry Bush, a
ceramics professor at the Rhode
Island School of Design. Kohler
is unique in letting artists work
on the factory floor with
employees and providing equip-
ment to create work on a massive
scale, he said.
The sort of thing that people
can do at the Kohler factory has
inspired a lot of work beyond the
Kohler factory, Bush said.
Ruth DeYoung Kohler a
print maker, former teacher and
granddaughter of Kohler Co.
founder John Michael Kohler
created the Arts/Industry program
at the John Michael Kohler Arts
Center soon after taking over as
director in 1972. Artists who vis-

tion were hungry for access to
the factorys molds and other
resources, and eager to learn the
techniques used by craftsmen
working there, she said. There
was little interaction between the
worlds of fine art and manufactur-
ing at the time.
Kohler convinced her brother,
Kohler Co. Chairman and CEO
Herb Kohler Jr., to let two artists
work at the factory for a month.
They created all these fanciful
things with the plumbing prod-
ucts, she recalled. So, for
example, they took a urinal,
turned it on its back, added some
clay wheels and filled it full of
clay teeth and called it the Toot h
Fairy Wagon. And then they took
two toilets and put them back to
back ... and they turned it into a
rocket ship.
The project so captivated
Kohler workers that the artists
were invited back for another
month in late 1974. Since then,
more than 400 artists have com-
pleted residencies lasting up to
six months. A retrospective of
their work is on display through
Aug. 31 at the John Michael
Kohler Arts Center in
Sheboygan, about an hour north
of Milwaukee.
Jan Axel, who completed two
residencies at Kohler in 1979 and
1981, created a sink carved with
undulating lines, and the compa-
ny later produced it commercial-
l y. Axel went on to create a pro-
gram that brought artists to
Kohler to embellish plumbing
fixtures for sale. Such collabora-
tion was radical at the time.
It was sort of not done
because people wanted to be con-
sidered artists. They didnt want
to be designers, said Axel, of
South Salem, New York, who
went on to do product and land-
scape design.
Molly Hatch, a ceramics artist
from Northampton,
Massachusetts, said her 2009
residency gave her a new career
designing tableware for
Anthropologie, and stationery
and fabrics for other companies.
Hatch said that learning to use
liquid clay and molds at Kohler
allowed her to create pieces with
a consistency she couldnt
achieve by hand.
At the same time, she was
struck by the amount of hand-
crafting done at Kohler, and she
now creates products that com-
bine mass production and a per-
sonal touch.
Being exposed to the way
things were made on the floor at
the factory at Kohler, I realized
theres so much more involved,
and a person behind the object,
and so much more pride taken in
every object, Hatch said,
adding, It just changed my
understanding of the process
completely.
Kohler said the factory workers
teaching the artists to use molds
and other equipment also have
been changed by the experience.
They understand that their
skills are enormous, she said,
and their skills are valued by the
artists and the company.
Kohler brings artists to factory to learn, inspire
Kohler,the company known for kitchen and bathroom xtures,has opened its factory oor to artists for 40 years.

option we should choose, but to get to
that point we need to do the testing to
determine whats feasible.
The city was awarded a Federal
Highway Administration reimburse-
ment grant that would have funded
most of the necessary repairs should
the city bring the bridge up to nation-
al and current seismic standards, which
ofcials have said necessitated widen-
ing it.
The council voted in September
2013 to replace the 103-year-old
artery into downtown after Caltrans
gave it a 24 out of 100 sufciency rat-
ing. After community dissent, the
council placed Measure F, the Main
Street Bridge Preservation Act, and
Measure E, the Main Street Bridge
Safety and Accessibility Act, on the
June ballot. Measure F, which requires
voter approval for the demolition or
widening of the bridge, passed with
1,977 votes, or 66 percent.
With the election results, Interim
City Manager Stuart Schillinger said it
will likely have to forfeit that grant.
Prior to Measure F, the city could have
been reimbursed for testing costs,
however, it may now need to front the
money, Schillinger said.
The bridge needs to be addressed and
the city is discussing the parameters of
its grant with Caltrans and other fund-
ing options, Schillinger said.
Ultimately, the question is going to
be what is the solution for a bridge that
Caltrans says passes their safety rat-
ings. And based on what that design is,
depends on what grants may or may
not be available, Schillinger said.
We still need to gure out what the
condition of the bridge is and then
from there make sure we nd out what
the best solution is to make sure we
provide a safe bridge to the public.
The bridge was one of the rst con-
crete infrastructures reinforced with
steel so the city will seek an engineer-
ing rm with expertise. But its show-
ing clear signs of wear, Hall said.
There is heavy cracking on the con-
crete arch and its sidewalls and wing
walls, Hall said. Water appears to be
leaching through the concrete, which
indicates the cracks are very deep and
may be eroding the steel. The brackets
holding up the wooden sidewalks and a
waterline also appears corroded, Hall
said.
One of the major unknowns is the
strength of the timber pilings
installed more than 100 years ago that
fasten the bridge to the ground, Hall
said.
Other factors in rehabilitation
design options include the thickness
and compressive strength of its con-
crete elements, Hall said.
Even before the election, the Main
Street Bridge project was headed
toward the environmental review
process and its during that time the
city will devise preferred alternatives
and chose a project with the least
impacts, Schillinger said.
The work that weve done so far has
been geared toward the CEQA and
[National Environmental Policy Act]
process so whatever work weve
done for the most part will carry for-
ward, Schillinger said.
Currently, the city has spent about
$300,000 for engineering consultants
and costs associated with starting the
project, Schillinger said.
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk said it
was a wide misconception that the city
spent a million dollars on the bridge
prior to the election. With infrastruc-
ture projects being undertaken across
the nation, federal grant funding is
drying up, Kowalczyk said. Now that
the city could forfeit its already award-
ed grant, Kowalczyk said he hopes to
nd an alternative that could qualify.
I fully accept the policy of the city
dened by Measure F and Im going to
represent that and do my best to look
out for the interest of the city and of
the community based on the outcome,
Kowalczyk said.
Yet some Measure F supporters say
they werent satiated by the election
and want the council to preemptively
adopt a substantively similar measure
citizens slated for the November bal-
lot.
Main Street merchant Charles
Nelson said if the council is truly inter-
ested in mending its ties with the com-
munity it should adopt the citizens
ordinance.
Theyve been talking about making
a truce and bringing the community
together again after this election. So
for me, it would be logical for them to
adopt it so we can put it all behind us
and move forward, Nelson said.
The city removed what it called the
inammatory language in the citizens
original ballot measure when it created
Measure F. City Attorney Toni
Condotti said the substantive language
is the same and, if it passes in
November, nothing will change.
Former mayor Deborah Ruddock said
bridge supporters want their original
measure passed in November because a
citizens initiative holds more weight
in a court of law.
Kowalczyk said politics aside,
Measure F passed and its time to move
forward.
The more important view is for us
to complete structural testing and
nd all the grants and funding opportu-
nities that will support that,
Kowalczyk said. I think the responsi-
ble thing to do is design it properly
and get whatever nancial support we
can get.
BRIDGE
and east of El Camino Real, Skinner
told the council at its Monday night
budget study session.
Skinner said he needs $202,742 for
the new firefighter/engineer and
$667,590 to cover the overtime hours.
He also said the department will imple-
ment a one-year pilot program to track
workers compensation costs and
injury types, evaluate unscheduled
leave, analyze overtime usage and
evaluate the actual cost of reinstating
Engine No. 9. The council will get a
report back in six months.
The city browned out Engine No. 9
in August 2010 but Skinner said public
safety was never jeopardized. The
majority of the calls are medical rather
than re and the city began imple-
menting a two-man rescue squad vehi-
cle for those.
The council will consider Skinners
request along with other departments,
such as two new police ofcers, as part
of its budget adoption and approval at
the June 23 meeting.
The proposed balanced budget
includes $98.6 million in the general
fund and $25 million for capital
improvements. The city will have
$25.7 million in reserves, which is
26.1 percent, and fluctuate through
2019 when reserves are projected to be
$22.9 million right at the 20 percent
policy.
The proposed budget recommended
using $6 million in surplus revenue to
help pay down the unfunded liability
for workers compensation and create a
dedicated workers compensation ana-
lyst position to manage claims.
City Manager Bob Bell said the goal
is guring out with a growing city how
to continue meeting current needs and
future demands.
The Redwood City budget is project-
ed to stay balanced for the foreseeable
future but retired nance director Brian
Ponty, who is working on an interim
basis, told the council that increasing
costs for public safety and workers
compensation remain concerns as does
the next economic downturn.
Economic expansion is ve years in
and typically runs in ve- to seven-
year cycles, Ponty said.
The one question were not able to
answer is ... when is the next recession
going to hit and how severe is it going
to be and which of our revenue streams
is going to be impacted, Ponty said.
Areas of concern remain sales tax,
available land for car dealerships
which contribute signicant-
ly to the budget, retirement
contributions, the Docktown
enterprise fund and workers
compensation costs.
Ponty recommended trans-
ferring $50,000 from the
general fund to the Docktown
fund this year to keep it sol-
vent and believes it may need
$90,000 next year and for
the future as residents leave
and arent replaced.
The budget works on ve-
year projects that may or
may not come to pass such as
secured property taxes going
up at least 5 percent in 2014-
15, jumping to 11.5 percent
the year after and then drop-
ping back to 3.6 percent and
4 percent because the city
will lose money due to the
so-called triple flip in
which the state takes money.
Employee contributions
will also substantially
increase in 2016-17 and
2018-19.

spirits will keep you feeling on top of the world
today. Be sure to include younger and older family
members in your activities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will make a lot

tucked away. You can get through anything if you
remain calm and in control. Once the dust has
settled, you can put your plans in motion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Consider all your
options before making a decision. Someone will
offer insightful advice, allowing you to find a
solution to an urgent dilemma.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You may be lacking
the key facts of a situation that is developing around
you. Refuse to let anyone inuence you. Stay neutral

run free. Fantasize about your future, and you will
discover a new and exciting avenue that will help to
get you where you want to go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont be too eager
to pick up the tab for someone else. Hold on to your
cash. Lending, borrowing or making a donation will
not turn out in your favor.

WORLD 28

CAIRO An Egyptian court on
Wednesday convicted a prominent activist
from the 2011 uprising of organizing an
unauthorized protest and assaulting a
policeman, sentencing him to 15 years in
prison, in the latest blow to liberal activists
at a time of rapidly eroding freedoms.
The sentence against Alaa Abdel-Fattah is
the toughest against any of the secular
activists behind the 18-day uprising that
ended Hosni Mubaraks 29-year reign. It is
also the rst conviction of a prominent
activist since former army chief Abdel-
Fattah el-Sissi took ofce as president on
Sunday.
In the 11 months since el-Sissi ousted the
countrys rst freely elected president, the
Muslim Brotherhoods Mohammed Morsi,
authorities have launched
a massive crackdown on
Islamists, detaining at
least 16,000 and killing
hundreds. Secular
activists opposed to what
they see as the revival of
Mubaraks police state
have also been detained.
The crackdown is being
carried out in the face of a
burgeoning insurgency
by Islamic militants, who have killed and
wounded hundreds of policemen and army
troops since Morsis ouster.
As the government has moved to curb
freedoms won in the 2011 revolt includ-
ing by enacting a law that severely restricts
protests pro-military media have stoked
a resurgent nationalism and eagerly wel-
comed the return of a military man to the
presidential palace.

JERUSALEM An Israeli aircraft struck
a target in the northern Gaza Strip
Wednesday, killing one person and wound-
ing three others, in the rst deadly violence
between the sides since a new Palestinian
government took ofce last week.
The late-night airstrike came hours after
Palestinian militants fired a rocket into
southern Israel, the rst such attack since
President Mahmoud Abbas formed the new
government and took charge, at least for-
mally, of Gaza. Israel has warned it would
hold the Western-backed Abbas responsible
for any attacks out of the territory, even
though the rival Hamas militant group
maintains de facto control.
Witnesses said the airstrike targeted a
man on a motorcycle and also struck a near-
by car. Palestinian medical ofcials said
two of the wounded were in critical condi-
tion. They did not immediately identify the
casualties.
But in a statement, the Israeli military
identied the target as a 33-year-old mili-
tant linked to global jihad, a term it uses
to describe groups that are affiliated or
inspired by al-Qaida. It said the man had
participated in many rocket attacks while
also working as a Hamas policeman, and
described the airstrike as pre-emptive.
Our policy is clear. Kill those who rise
up to kill us, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.
