Stabbing raises downtown safety concerns

Police assure residents attack was an isolated incident
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Mike Pringle walks five miles every
day through San Mateo from his
Woodlake Apartment, down Humboldt
Street and up Third Avenue to Central
Park and back.
Pringle, 68, has become hesitant about
taking his daily walks, however, in light
of a recent gang-related stabbing that
escalated from an argument that started
at the Friendship Hall on Second Avenue
and Claremont Street July 15.
Pringle takes his walks in the morning
and rarely visits downtown at night.
He encounters large groups of day
laborers who crowd the sidewalks in the
mornings on Third Avenue but also
encounters other groups of young men
who he said give him a bad vibe.
Pringle has lived in San Mateo for 28
years and has been walking regularly in
downtown for two decades. He is at the
point now, though, where he is not sure
if the men he encounters on the side-
walks are seeking employment or con-
templating violence against him, espe-
cially after a 14-year-old known gang-
member recently stabbed a 21-year-old
man multiple times.
Yesterday afternoon, Pringle met with
downtown police Officer Robert
Anderson and had a lengthy discussion
on how the department patrols down-
town and its efforts to make the area
safe.
There is not much the department can
do about day laborers, the U.S.
Constitution allows them to assemble,
Anderson said. But the department does BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL

Acrimony easing over hillside development
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As a long-stalled development of a
steep San Mateo site makes its
through the planning stages anew, the
scaled down plan of fewer homes and
reduced grading isn’t the only aspect
that seems changed.
The acrimony between the devel-
oper and San Mateo Highlands resi-
dents which previously erupted in
public hearings and sharp words
appears to have calmed.
At a county Planning Commission
meeting Wednesday morning to craft
a public review process for reconsid-
ering the Ascension Heights project,
a resident representing the area’s
homeowners association thanked
Dennis Thomas, president of San
Mateo Real Estate, Inc., for wanting
to work with the public.
Thomas, who chalked up past ten-
sions to miscommunication and a
lack of candidness by worried resi-
dents at emotionally charged gather-
ings, hopes a series of community
outreach meetings and direct commu-
nity insight can serve as a template
for all future development.
“We might be changing the process
... any developer wants to have public
input to get approval and when every-
body is honest without layers of
defensiveness and posturing it is
more interesting and provocative,”
Thomas said.
The process to which Thomas
refers is a concept by himself, planner
James Castañeda and Community
Development Director Jim
Eggemeyer.
After the Board of Supervisors
denied Thomas’ application in late
June for 25 single-family homes on
27 parcels, the three men began meet-
ing with residents and decided to for-
mally include the public in the plan’s
new journey from drawing board to
“I have tremendous fears....I am so
concerned about that land being disturbed ...What
will my recourse be if my paradise gets disturbed?”
Planning Commission and eventually
back to county supervisors.
The plan is for at least two work-
shops, one possibly in an open house
format, Castañeda said.
The first would be sometime in
September with a second the follow-
ing month. Also in October,
Castañeda hopes county staff will
have picked an environmental con-
sultant and anticipates releasing a
draft environmental impact review in
late November. If all goes as planned,
the Planning Commission will have
the proposal for final consideration in
February 2011. Community outreach
serves several purposes, including
demystifying a project with substan-
tial size and scope, and addressing
concerns before they become
cemented in a final plan.
The project is proposed for a 13.25-
acre section approximately a quarter-
mile from the College of San Mateo
and bordered by Bel Aire Road,
Ascension Drive and single family
homes. It is predominately located on
a hillside where the slopes average 40
percent. The area was graded more
than 40 years ago but surface runoff
caused erosion along Ascension
Drive over time.
Originally, the plan first submitted
in 2002 called for 26 houses and one
40-unit condominium on 97 acres but
residents worried about landslides
like one that happened on Rainbow
Drive. The latest proposal denied in
June sought 25 single-family
dwellings on 27 parcels. Thomas’
newest version is for 17 units with
“substantially reduced” grading. The
THE DAILY JOURNAL
— Barbara Mikulic
conceptual plan will eventually be
posted on the county planning web-
site but for now is remaining flexible
to allow the developer to more easily
make changes, Castañeda told the
Planning Commission.
Although, like Thomas, the resi-
dents speaking Wednesday seemed
hopeful about working together, they
are still concerned about the project.
“Although it is reduced from the
original size and complexity ... it con-
tinues to have substantial impacts on
the neighborhood,” said Harris
Dubrow who represented the
Baywood Park Homeowners.
Dubrow asked that in addition to the
two community meetings, the county
and developer continue meeting with
residents in smaller groups to better
address environmental concerns.
Barbara Mikulic, a 33-year resi-
dent, wondered about increased traf-
fic because the new public fitness
center at CSM already adds some.
Her primary worry, though, is sta-
bility of the land. Although she has
personally had no problems with
landslides, friends in Hillsborough on
similar land cannot say the same.
“I have tremendous fears,” she said.
“I am so concerned about that land
being disturbed ... What will my
recourse be if my paradise gets dis-
turbed?”
Although the process to develop
the land is in its eighth year, Thomas
said there are no plans to veer from
the course.
“It is perfectly buildable. There is
absolutely nothing wrong with it,”
Thomas said.

Brown: Spend on higher education Firefighters gain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — Democratic on worst wildfire

gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown
wants the state to undertake a major over-
haul of higher education and shift money
from prisons to colleges and universities.
The proposals are part of an eight-page
education plan posted Tuesday on
Brown’s campaign website, but he fails to
provide details for exactly how he would
achieve all of his goals if elected governor
in November.
Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford
said Brown would pursue cost savings
and fight federal court orders that have
driven up state spending in the prison sys-
tem.
As an example, Brown’s plan notes that
as the state’s attorney general, he blocked
an $8 billion prison-hospital expansion as
a way to save the state money.
“By relentlessly pursuing similar cost
savings, we can channel needed funds to
our higher education system,” Brown
wrote in his plan.

Aguilar apparently took the money
from clients she had become familiar

she herself was in need of money,”

The department has confirmed two
acts of fraud and the investigation is

TEHACHAPI — Hundreds of firefighters gained ground
Wednesday against the most destructive of two big wildfires
that have burned homes and forced 2,300 people to evacuate
mountain communities on the edge of the Mojave Desert
and in the southern Sierra Nevada.
A 1,400-acre blaze that chased residents from the Old
West Ranch community about 10 miles south of Tehachapi
was 25 percent contained.
The firefighting command revised the number of
destroyed structures down to 25, and Kern County Fire
Department Battalion Chief Dean Boller said most were
homes.
Fire officials initially estimated 30 to 40 homes were lost.
Another 150 homes in the loosely connected community
remained threatened.
The area is usually so gusty that wind farms line ridges,
but Wednesday afternoon the weather was cooperating with
the 800 firefighters on the lines, producing only light
breezes.
Patches of brush burned among spinning windmills at one

Winds were expected to increase to 15 mph later in the
day, but Boller said firefighters had yet to see the kind of
gusts that drove the fire the previous day.
“It was absolute chaos,” he said. “It is very, very over-
grown. There’s so much dead and downed fuel out there —
we knew we were in trouble.”
Boller, who turned over command of the incident to a state
fire official on Wednesday, said the area had no reported fire
history.
“It probably hasn’t burned in over 100 years,” he said.
Overnight, the fire ran through the crowns of trees, send-
ing flames 150 feet into the sky, said Kelly Zombro, the new
incident commander.

Piece of new Bay
Bridge tower to go up
SAN FRANCISCO — A piece of the tower
that will define the San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge’s new eastern span is set to go up.
Crews are scheduled to install the 165-foot,
1,200-ton piece, known as a lift, Wednesday
afternoon. The massive piece arrived in the
Bay Area from China earlier this month.
It is one of five pieces that will make up the
first leg of the 525-foot tower, which will be
the centerpiece of the new, seismically safe,
$6.2 billion eastern span.
Bridge officials say work on the first section
will be done in two weeks, and the entire span
is expected to be completed by late 2013.
Officials say traffic won’t be affected during
the tower construction, but drivers will soon
have a new view of the eastern span project.

WASHINGTON — Congress on Wednesday changed a

The House, by voice vote, approved a bill reducing the dis-

the wide gap in sentencing “cannot be justified and should be

PHOENIX — A federal judge stepped

Plane crash kills 152 in Pakistan
By Asif Shahzad and Munir Ahmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — A passenger jet that offi-
cials suspect veered off course in monsoon
rains and thick clouds crashed into hills over-
looking Pakistan’s capital Wednesday, killing
all 152 people on board and scattering body
parts and twisted metal far and wide.
The Airblue jet’s crash was the deadliest
ever in Pakistan, and just the latest tragedy to
jolt a country that has suffered numerous
deaths in recent years due to al-Qaida and
Taliban attacks. At least two U.S. citizens
were on the plane, which carried mostly
Pakistanis.
The plane left the southern city of Karachi
at 7:45 a.m. for a two-hour flight to Islamabad
and was trying to land when it lost contact
with the control tower, said Pervez George, a
civil aviation official. Airblue is a private air-
line based in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, crashed some
15 kilometers from the airport, scorching a
wide stretch of the Margalla Hills, including a
section behind Faisal Mosque, one of
Islamabad’s most prominent landmarks.
Twisted metal wreckage hung from trees and
lay scattered across the ground. Smoke rose
from the scene as helicopters hovered.
The exact cause of the crash was not imme-
diately clear, and rescue workers were seeking
the “black box” flight data recorder amid the
wreckage. But Defense Minister Chaudhry
Ahmed Mukhtar said the government did not
suspect terrorism.

February 2009, which translated to a pay cut
of about 14 percent.
Those furloughs just ended in June.
It’s unclear how long the latest round of
furloughs could last, as Schwarzenegger and
lawmakers enter the fifth week of the new
fiscal year without a balanced budget. Earlier
this week, the governor hinted that he might
not sign a budget before he leaves office next
January unless it includes pension, tax and
spending reforms.
“Without a budget in place that addresses
our $19 billion budget deficit, every day of
delay brings California closer to a fiscal
meltdown,” Schwarzenegger said in a state-

gers and six crew members to survive, rescue
officials said.

choice but to once again furlough state work-
ers until the Legislature produces a budget I
can sign.”
State Controller John Chiang has warned
he will start issuing IOUs in August or
September if the budget stalemate drags on
in the Legislature. Chiang said the cash-sav-
ing measure is necessary because the state is
projected to run out of cash in October.
As before, the public will be inconve-
nienced by the furloughs. Many state offices,
including the Department of Motor Vehicles,
will close on the second, third and fourth
Fridays of the month. The first furlough is
scheduled for Friday, Aug. 13.
The new order, however, exempts depart-

Development Department, which processes
unemployment claims.
It also exempts about 37,000 workers in
six unions that recently reached tentative
labor agreements with the administration.
Those unions agreed for their members to
contribute more of their salaries toward their
pension benefits and to take one day of
unpaid personal leave a month, the equiva-
lent of a nearly 5 percent pay cut.
The latest furlough will affect about
156,000 of the state’s 237,000 workers. The
Schwarzenegger administration estimated it
will achieve $80 million in general fund sav-
ings and nearly $150 million in overall sav-
ings per month.
The furlough puts pressure on remaining
unions that have not agreed to the governor’s
demands for pension changes.

A farewell to bullfights
in northeastern Spain
BARCELONA, Spain — Lawmakers in the
region of Catalonia thrust a sword deep into
Spain’s centuries-old tradition of bullfighting,
banning the blood-soaked pageant that has fas-
cinated artists and writers from Goya to
Hemingway.
Wednesday’s vote in the Catalan parliament
prohibits bullfighting starting in 2012 in the
northeastern region that centers on Barcelona.
Although animal rights activists want to extend
the ban, there is no significant national move-
ment to do away with bullfighting in the rest of
Spain. Many see the vote as a political state-
ment by a wealthy and powerful region that
likes to assert how different it is from the rest
of Spain, rather than an expression of concern
over cruelty to the half-ton beasts by sword-
wielding matadors.

Roma immigrants expelled
SAINT OUEN, France — French President
Nicolas Sarkozy on Wednesday ordered
authorities to expel Gypsy illegal immigrants
and dismantle their camps, amid accusations
that his government is acting racist in its treat-
ment of the group known as Roma.
Sarkozy called a government meeting
Wednesday after Gypsies clashed with police
this month following the shooting death of a
youth fleeing officers in the Loire Valley.
Sarkozy said those responsible for the clash-
es would be “severely punished” and ordered
the government to expel all illegal Roma immi-

gered more than two dozen lawsuits, but the
administration said the furloughs achieved
about $1 billion in general fund savings and
$2.2 billion in overall savings during the
state’s last budget crisis.
Unions also have been fighting the gover-
nor’s efforts to impose the federal minimum
wage $7.25 per hour while the state operates
without a budget.
“To once again force state employees to
take unpaid furloughs is just another punitive
measure by Gov. Schwarzenegger because
he couldn’t impose minimum wage,” said
Patty Velez, president of the California
Association of Professional Scientists, which
represents 3,000 state employees.
The state Assembly’s Republican leader,
Martin Garrick, said Democrats who control
the Legislature were to blame because they
have refused to make cuts that Republicans,
including Schwarzenegger, have demanded.

Who’s your daddy? Michael Jackson Contact Us

I
am Michael Jackson’s love
child. Why not? Everybody
else seems to be. In fact, so
many folks are claiming Jackson
shared a special, life-creating
moment with their mother, that the
gaggle of men claiming to have
fathered Anna Nicole Smith’s baby
girl looks paltry. Hey, maybe
Prince Frederic von Anhalt (aka
Mr. Zsa Zsa Gabor) will throw his
hat in this illegitimate child ring,
too!
Billie Jean aside, Michael
Jackson has always been an easy
target for tabloids and ladies swear-
ing they bore his unacknowledged
protestation. His death, and lucra-
tive albeit debt-saddled estate, only
drew out even more. If all of them
were true, Jackson had to have
been more fertile than Octo-mom.
The latest page in this HIStory is
Diana Ross’ niece, claiming she is
the product of a 1975 fling between
Jackson and Ross’ alleged sister,
Barbara. Mocienne Petit Jackson
says seven people abducted her to
Belgium to protect Jackson’s image
which makes no sense because
proof of a heterosexual encounter
would have done wonders for the
scandal-plagued singer. Those mys-
terious babynappers, she says, have
since been murdered. Convenient,
eh? She now wants a DNA test,
‘Billie Jean aside, Michael
Jackson has always been an easy

and legal guardianship of Michael,
Paris and lil’ Blanket. Oh, and of
course, a check.
When there’s money at stake,
this latest Jackson offspring is cer-
tainly not the last. We can’t all win
the lottery; some of us have to
make our own.
All of which makes my claim to
MJ’s DNA seem a little more plau-
sible.
Why couldn’t I also be a mini-
Michael?
The most obvious sign of parent-
age is the name. Michael. Michelle.
You draw the conclusion.
We also share other similarities.
During the Coke-Pepsi war hey-
day of my childhood I threw my lot
in with Pepsi, both before and after
Michael torched himself while
filming a Pepsi commercial.
I also think Pirates of the
Caribbean, the attraction replicated
at Neverland, is the highlight ride
of Disneyland. Captain EO, not so
much. Must be latent anger over
being abandoned — no, make that
abducted — to the Central Valley
as a baby as not to ruin his fragile
reputation.
Michael wore makeup. Ditto
here!
Michael had concerns about his
looks. Who doesn’t?
Michael reportedly liked wine. I
also have been known to unwind at
the end of a long day with a glass
of Jesus Juice.
Michael was really into pajamas.
He showed up at his 2005 molesta-
tion trial wearing a pair of pajama
bottoms proving that, like me,
comfort is key. Why go for the suit
and tie — even if they bear badges
and sequins — when there is
loungewear?
There are things we don’t share:
Sleeping in the same bed as young
children. Silver socks. The ability
to moonwalk. Bubbles. A desire for
the Elephant Man’s skeleton.
But then again, a dad only con-
tributes half the gene pool. He
probably didn’t have my soft spots
for fudge and puppies.
What’s that you say — I’m too
white to be a junior Jackson.
Take a look at the three legiti-
mate Jackson offspring. It didn’t
stop them, either.
So who is to say I can’t be a
Michael Jackson child, too. He
might have been Wacko Jacko, a
child predator, a poster child for all
that’s wrong with entertainment
and eccentricity but to those men
and women who see him as pay-
check, he’ll always be the King of
Pops.

Change that matters
Editor,
I respectfully differ with most of
the points made by Matt Grocott
in his guest perspective, “The
well-connected, the incumbent or
the appointed,” in the July 20 edi-
tion of the San Mateo Daily
Journal. Grocott disagrees with
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors’ 4-1 decision to not
place on the November ballot the
question of whether board elec-
tions should be by district or
countywide.
The debate regarding district or
countywide elections is an age-old
one and there are sound arguments
to be made on both sides. Across
the country, thousands of elections
are conducted by jurisdiction or
district. It is hard to argue one
method is clearly superior to the
other though I would come down
on the side of district elections. It
is groundless, however, to argue
our board kept this issue off the
ballot to protect their own posi-
tions and only the “well-connect-
ed, the incumbent or the appoint-
ed” can be presently elected. I
have lived in the county for seven
years and am impressed by our
elected officials at the city, county
and state levels.
Those elected to the county
board have won, usually by wide
margins, because they were clear-
ly well qualified and reelected
because they served well. If an
incumbent was perceived as doing
a poor job, there would be worthy
and well-funded opposition.
Currently, candidates are required
to reside in one of the five districts
though the election is countywide,
thereby guaranteeing all geograph-
ical parts of the county have repre-
sentation. This November, we
have a hotly contested race
between two highly qualified can-
didates — April Vargas and Don
Horsley for the District 3 seat.
If the current method of electing
Letters to the editor
members of the Board of
Supervisors is producing top-
notch representatives, why spend
time or energy trying to change it?
I urge voters to spend their time
and energy helping to elect Vargas
or Horsley. That is an election that
matters.
Bruce Hamilton
Half Moon Bay
Idea won’t work
Editor,
In his July 20 letter “A different
way to help the unemployed” in
the San Mateo Daily Journal, Bob
Stine wrote that he wants to give
businesses an unemployed per-
son’s unemployment check if it
hires that worker. The worker in
turns gets a salary. When his
unemployment eligibility runs out,
the business no longer collects this
money.
There are a few problems with
this plan. First, businesses would
not hire unless they saw a possi-
bility that their products or servic-
es would be in demand. Also,
offers of someone’s unemploy-
ment check is unlikely to get them
to hire. Second, this would give a
business an incentive to fire their
current employees in favor of the
unemployed. If their current
employees get $20,000 per year,
they could be replaced by the
unemployed worker in exchange
for $10,000 from the government,
a net gain of $10,000 to the
employer (or more if they pay the
new worker less than $20,000).
There would also be an incentive
to fire that person when his unem-
ployment (and hence the payment
to the business) ends. They busi-
ness would then go out and hire
another unemployed person.
Third, there are five or six workers
for every new job. If we directly
created jobs through the govern-
ment, as we did during the
Depression, aggregate demand for
goods and services would
increase. The income would be
spent on goods and services which
would directly and more effective-
ly lead to private sector hiring.
Stine’s unstated message is that
workers are lazy. They probably
do take longer in finding a job if
they have unemployment insur-
ance. They do this to find a job
with a living wage. His solution
would put severe downward pres-
sure on everyone’s wages and not
a cure for an economy on the
brink of a depression.

An opportunity to work

Editor,
I agree with Carrie DuBois,
president of the San Carlos
Elementary School Board, that the
San Carlos elementary schools
should be working together to
raise funds, not necessarily
Charter Learning Center doing its
own thing. To me, it is too confus-
ing and distracts from the overall
goal of the San Carlos Educational
Foundation. However, there is one
big piece of the puzzle missing;
the Chicken’s Ball, which is San
Carlos’ oldest fundraiser started
for the children’s milk fund.
The Rotary Club was asked to
staff the game booths at the
Chicken’s Ball this year, which we
were thrilled to do. So when I
finally got a chance to see the ball
and the extraordinary effort put
into it, I was confused by the lack
of audience. In fact, attendance
was dismal on some nights, in my
opinion.
Perhaps these three school par-
ties can work more synergistically

Gay marriage battle
heats in Sacramento
A new same-sex marriage battle
began brewing the week of July
30, 2005 after the state attorney
general cast a pro-
posed state constitu-
tional amendment as
an attack on same-
sex couples’ rights, rather than a
strengthening of marriage.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer
wrote a summary of a proposed
measure to allow supporters to start
gathering signatures to put it on the
June 2006 ballot. In it, he said the
amendment would allow only mar-
riages between a man and a woman
and restrict domestic partner rights in
inheritance, adoption, child custody,
hospital visitation and other matters.
The attorney general summarizes
measures before they are added to
the ballot, but one of the amend-
ment’s official sponsors said Lockyer
was “inaccurate and prejudicial” and
vowed to challenge it in court.

To the ill-informed, it may sound
logical. Wouldn’t it be awesome if
it were true, and government debt
could produce manna from heaven?
The logic behind Pelosi’s speech
goes like this: A person who has no
income or savings cannot buy
bread. That means a baker sells
less bread and cannot hire new
employees. The baker cannot buy
as much flour from farmers who
are then less able to hire workers to
harvest wheat. Fewer people are
employed to drive trucks that take
wheat from farms to flour mills to
bakeries. We can work this mental
exercise using any service or good
as the subject for examination of an
ater, located between Second and
Third avenues on B Street, on reports
of an armed robbery. Two men
armed with at least one gun
“restrained” four janitorial
employees and made off
with “variety of personal
property.”
Someone was able to free
themselves to make a phone call to
police shortly after the robbery.
However, the four victims — two

NEW YORK — Investors cashed in
some of their recent gains Wednesday
after the Federal Reserve gave them
more confirmation that the economic
recovery is slowing.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
almost 40 points after the Fed released
its regional survey of the economy, a
report known as the “beige book.” The
Fed said economic growth has been
steady during the summer in Cleveland
and Kansas City, but has slowed in
Atlanta and Chicago. The central bank
described economic activity elsewhere
as modest.
The report had some sobering news
about manufacturing, which had been
one of the strongest parts of the econo-
my. While manufacturing expanded in
most of the Fed’s 12 regions, about half
— New York, Cleveland, Kansas City,
Chicago, Atlanta and Richmond — said
manufacturing had “slowed” or “leveled
off.”
Investors weren’t surprised by the Fed
report, but they also didn’t like hearing
their own downbeat assessment of the
economy confirmed by the central bank.

A bleaker outlook for economy into 2011
By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. econom-
ic recovery will remain slow deep into
next year, held back by shoppers reluc-
tant to spend and employers hesitant to
hire, according to an Associated Press
survey of leading economists.
The latest quarterly AP Economy
Survey shows economists have turned
gloomier in the past three months. They
foresee weaker growth and higher unem-
ployment than they did before. As a
result, the economists think the Federal
Reserve will keep interest rates near zero
until at least next spring.
Yet despite their expectation of slower
growth, a majority of the 42 economists
surveyed believe the recovery remains
on track, raising hopes that the economy
can avoid falling back into a “double-
dip” recession.
The AP survey compiles forecasts of
Airline fares rising, still look like a bargain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — If you think airfares
have been rising, it’s not your imagina-
tion.
Figures just released from the govern-
ment, while a bit dated, show that airline
prices in the first three months of this
year rose nearly 5 percent from a year
earlier. And that doesn’t include baggage
fees and other extras.
But if you take a step back, air travel
still looks like a bargain. Average fares
are 25 percent lower than they were in
1999 after adjusting them for inflation,
the government says.
Visa 3Q profit slips 2

NEW YORK — Visa Inc. on
Wednesday said its third-quarter profit
slipped 2 percent, hurt by a sharp drop in
investment income, but it posted
increased operating income and main-
tained a strong forecast for its fiscal year.
The San Francisco company posted
net income of $716 million, or 97 cents
per share, for the period ended June 30.
That compared with net income of $729
million, or 97 cents per share, in the
year-earlier quarter.

not bouncing back as much as we would
hope,” Ryan Detrick, senior technical
strategist chairman of Schaeffer’s
Investment Research, said of the beige
book.
But Detrick also said the report gave
investors an excuse to cash in some of
their gains from the market’s rally late
last week and early this week. The Dow
rose almost 420 points in four days as
investors bought stocks in response to
companies’ strong second-quarter earn-
ings and upbeat forecasts for the rest of
the year.
The Fed survey followed a disappoint-
ing Commerce Department durable
goods orders report early in the day.
Orders for durable goods, which are
expected to last at least three years, fell 1
percent in June. Economists expected a 1
percent gain.
Investors have been trying in recent
weeks to balance strong earnings and
corporate outlooks with economic data
that isn’t as encouraging. A drop in con-
sumer confidence Tuesday helped push
stocks mostly lower although another
batch of robust earnings reports came
out.
“The biggest issue the market is look-
leading private, corporate and academic
economists on a range of indicators,
including employment, consumer spend-
ing and inflation. Among their forecasts:
• Economic growth the rest of this
year and early next year will weaken, to
less than 3 percent. From January
through May, the economy grew at
roughly a 3.5 percent pace.
• The unemployment rate will be no
lower at the end of the year than it is now
— 9.5 percent. A majority think it will
be 2015 or later before the rate falls to a
historically normal 5 percent.
• State budget shortfalls pose a “sig-
nificant” or “severe” risk to the national
economy. The loss of tax revenue has
forced state and local governments to cut
services and lay off workers.
The weak economy leaves Democrats
and Republicans on Capitol Hill vulner-
able as they head into the November
midterm elections. Democrats, who now
control both chambers, have the most to
The numbers were contained in a
report issued Wednesday by the
Department of Transportation.
The average domestic fare in the first
quarter of 2010 rose to $328. Since
2001, the average price for the first quar-
ter was higher only once — in 2008,
when it hit $333.
The government figures include the
ticket price plus taxes and things like
security fees. They don’t include add-ons
such as fees to check baggage. The num-
bers are several months old, and informa-
tion from other sources indicates that
prices continued to rise into the summer.

Two stocks fell for every one that rose
on the New York Stock Exchange, where

Volume has been light even by sum-
mer standards, which has added to the
day-to-day volatility. Many investors
have been staying out of the market
while they try to get a clearer sense of
how the economy is faring.
Treasury prices, which get a boost
from bad economic news, rose after the
beige book was released. That sent inter-
est rates lower. The yield on the 10-year

bility for President Barack Obama.
The economists have turned more pes-
simistic since the recovery hit turbulence
in May. Europe’s debt crisis sent tremors
through Wall Street, causing stocks to
tumble and raising doubts about the
durability of the rebound.
Since then, businesses have been slow
to step up hiring. Americans’ confidence
in the economy has declined, leading
shoppers to reduce spending. And the
housing market has weakened further
with the end of a homebuyer tax credit
that had buoyed sales earlier this year.
Consumers aren’t leading this
rebound, as they usually do, despite
ultra-low borrowing costs. Their spend-
ing growth will weaken in the second
half of this year and strengthen only
slightly next year, a majority of econo-
mists said. They think shoppers’ reluc-
tance to spend more money poses a “sig-
nificant” or “severe” risk to the recovery.
By June, passengers were paying
about 18 percent more than they did in
June 2009, according to the Air
Transport Association, a trade group for
the biggest U.S. airlines.

seems to be ending, with orders up
sharply from last year and U.S. airlines

of pricing pressure in the U.S.
“There is no question that the overall
cost structure of that business has to

call.

A month ago, Matt Crawford was in a U.S.
Junior Amateur qualifying tournament, where
he missed the playoff by a single stroke.
“I was heartbroken,” the Redwood City resi-
dent said.
Monday, Crawford was on the opposite end of
the emotional spectrum. The 17-year-old senior-
to-be at the School for Independent Learners in
Los Altos qualified for the U.S. Amateur after a
stellar performance at Fort
Washington Country Club
in Fresno.
Battling triple-digit tem-
peratures, Crawford was

48-player field to qualify to
play in the U.S. Amateur

“I’m still on an emotional
high,” Crawford said. “I feel a lot more confident
in my game since Monday because the last few
tournaments I had I kind of stumbled down the
stretch. It was nice to finally put things all
together.”
Crawford definitely earned his spot in the U.S.
Amateur. While temperatures have been well
below average in the Bay Area this summer, the
Central Valley has been blistering hot as usual.
Crawford teed off at 7:30 a.m. and didn’t finish
until 6:50 p.m. After carding rounds of 68-68 to
finish at 8-under par, Crawford wasn’t done.
There were still a half-dozen other golfers still
on the course who could beat Crawford’s score
or tie it, which would’ve forced a playoff. And
that’s exactly what happened, as Taylor Travis of
Fremont finished at 8-under along with
Crawford and Ryan Carter of Stockton. Carter
was in the last group to tee off for the second
round, so by the time he finished, Crawford had
been in the clubhouse for 90 minutes.

break,” Crawford said. “I carried my own bag

The Giants hit three straight one-out singles
off Florida reliever Clay Hensley before
Torres hit a long fly ball over the Marlins’
drawn-in outfield. The ball hit on the warning
track then bounced over the fence.
Juan Uribe matched his season-high for the
Giants with three hits and four RBIs while
Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 21
games, longest in the majors.
Ronny Paulino, Donnie Murphy and Dan
Uggla homered for the Marlins, who over-

innings.
Torres, who hit a two-run home run that
landed in the waters of McCovey Cove in the
sixth inning, had four hits to lead the Giants,
who had 17 hits and won for the 17th time in
21 games.
Aubrey Huff singled twice to surpass 1,500
hits for his career while Aaron Rowand and
Edgar Renteria added two hits apiece.

Florida’s Alex Sanabia was shelled in his
fourth major league start. The right-hander
lasted two innings and was tagged for seven
runs and nine hits.
Notes: The Giants are 18-5 since July 3, the
best mark in the majors. ... Wilson was fined
$1,000 earlier Wednesday by MLB for wear-
ing bright orange cleats during Tuesday’s
game. Wilson took the shoes — a gift from
Nike that were presented to him at the All-Star
game — and partially colored them in with a
black marker before Wednesday’s game. ...
Posey needs one RBI to break the franchise
rookie record for one month. He currently has
24, tied with Jim Ray Hart (1964). ... This is

Sheets is out for the season due to a torn flex-

Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister,
who determined that Sheets has a tear and
would not pitch again this season. A’s manag-

planned, although Sheets needed an operation
to repair the same injury when he missed the
2009 season for the Milwaukee Brewers. ...
Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler was rested. Kinsler’s
two-base error — when he failed to cover sec-

Ron Washington chalked it up to a “mental
lapse,” but said the miscue had nothing to do
with the day off. ... Oakland has won five of
six on the road. ... Cahill has gone at least six
innings in eight straight starts.

extortion case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A woman accused of
demanding millions to stay quiet about a tryst
with Rick Pitino initiated the sex by whispering
to him and unzipping his pants when he got up
to leave an empty Italian restaurant, he testified
Wednesday.
The Louisville coach’s testimony marked the
first time he’s talked publicly in detail about his
July 2003 encounter with Karen Cunagin
Sypher, the meeting that led to her trial this week
on extortion charges.
Pitino’s portrayal of Sypher
as the aggressor came after
several witnesses said she
was flirty and persistent
when she approached
Pitino at the restaurant.
Pitino obliged her request
to say happy birthday to her
son on her cell phone.
Rick Pitino When she returned later,
Pitino said, he bought her a
drink. They lingered to talk after the restaurant
had closed and the owner had gone home.
As he got up from the table, the married father
of five said Sypher whispered something.
“Some unfortunate things happened,” Pitino
said in the courtroom packed with spectators
from basketball-mad Kentucky. “She opened up
my pants.”
“Did you have sex that night?” Assistant U.S.
Attorney Marisa Ford asked.
“Yes, very briefly,” said Pitino, who wore a
dark suit with a white shirt and red tie. The two
have said they had sex at the table.
Sypher, 50, was sitting a few feet away but
appeared unfazed by Pitino’s testimony, some-
times watching him, sometimes passing notes to
her attorney.
Sypher is charged with extortion, asking for
cash, cars and a house to stay quiet about the sex.
She has pleaded not guilty, claiming Pitino sex-
ually assaulted her. Police and prosecutors have
said her assault claim lacked merit.
Pitino, 57, will return to the witness stand
Thursday to face questioning from the defense.
Pitino said after he and Sypher left the restau-
rant together, she asked for basketball tickets.
Pitino agreed and made the arrangements.
A few weeks later, Sypher, then known as
Karen Wise, called and said she was pregnant.
“I didn’t believe at the time it was my child,”

Redskins’Haynesworth won’t find return easy
By Joseph White
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHBURN, Va. — Albert Haynesworth
finally showed up for work — and quickly
learned the Washington Redskins won’t be
cutting him any slack.
On the eve of the first day of training camp,
Haynesworth ended his months-long boycott
of the team by meeting Wednesday morning
with coach Mike Shanahan. Hardly sympa-
thetic to the plight of a player who recently
received a $21 million bonus, the coach was-
n’t about to let bygones by bygones.
Shanahan said Haynesworth must pass a
conditioning test in order to practice. And,
assuming the test is passed, the two-time All-
Pro defensive lineman with the $100 million
contract won’t be practicing with the starting
unit, at least not right away.
“I’m expecting him to be in great shape,”
Shanahan said. “And if he’s not in great shape,
‘Old’ guys starring — again — in X Games
By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Only at the X Games,
where athletes sometimes win medals before
they graduate the eighth grade, would Travis
Pastrana be considered an old man.
But it was a taunt about his decrepitude, and a
wager to go with it, that brought the multi-sport
star back to freestyle motocross where he made
his name.
The 16th annual circus of twists, flips, and
stunning risks returns for a four-day stint in
downtown Los Angeles starting Thursday, and
Pastrana, who has taken a relatively low profile
in the last few games, is set to compete in a
record five events.
Pastrana was on a spring tour for “Nitro
Circus,” the MTV show where athletes combine
action sports with “Jackass”-style stunts. His co-
star Blake Williams, who has thrived in freestyle
motocross since Pastrana shifted his focus to
rally car racing a few years ago, teased the 26-
year-old Pastrana about returning to the event
this summer.
“He told me ’You should come back to X
Games and get smoked old man,”’ Pastrana said.
SPORTS
then we’re going to do
what we need to do to get
him in shape.
“Once he gets to that
point, hopefully he’ll fit
into our system and do the
things we want him to do.
Because, if he does, he can
be an excellent football
Albert player for us. If not, we’re
Haynesworth going to be very good any-
how.”
Asked if he expected Haynesworth to be a
part of the team in 2010, Shanahan would
only say: “We’ll see.”
“All I can do is tell you we’re going to give
him every opportunity to show us what we can
do,” the coach said. “Hopefully he’ll like the
position that we play him in and give us
everything that he’s got.”
The “position that we play him in” is the
main point of consternation for Haynesworth.
“I’m a-year-and-a-half older
than him.”
The Australian Williams
added an extra enticement, a
bet of five dollars, though it
wasn’t clear whether it
would be Aussie or U.S.
currency, Pastrana said.
Taking up the challenge,
Travis Pastrana Pastrana will return to the
event known here as
Freestyle Moto X on Thursday night. He’s also
set to compete in Moto X Best Trick, Rally Car
Racing, the new Rally Car SuperRally and Moto
X Speed and Style
The X Games have seen bigger stars —
including virtual household names like Tony
Hawk and Shaun White — but Pastrana has
been the festival’s most enduring and versatile
star, who embodies its combination of athleti-
cism, personality and death-defying insanity.
He has won nine gold medals at the games,
but in recent years hasn’t even attempted to con-
quer several events like he did in 2006, when he
won three golds and pulled off the first-ever-in-
competition double back flip, one of the
Everests of the sport and one of the top moments
He’s unhappy with the Redskins’ switch to a
3-4 defense and would rather play for another
team. Shanahan was ready to grant that wish
in February and March — but the door was
shut once Haynesworth collected the $21 mil-
lion bonus on April 1, part of the seven-year
contract he signed a year earlier. The deal is
part of the enduring legacy of a decade of bad
offseason signings under owner Dan Snyder.
Thus Haynesworth continues to overshad-
ow a team trying to turn a new page. By all
rights, Thursday’s start of training camp
should be about Shanahan and new quarter-
back Donovan McNabb, but instead all eyes
and ears will be on the disgruntled big man
whom teammates called “selfish” when he
skipped the mandatory minicamp last month.
Even Shanahan said at the time that it was
“really a shame that Albert has got so much
attention for not showing up.”
Haynesworth wants the freedom that helped
make him a dominant player for many years
in X Games history.
He’s got something tougher and safer set aside
for Moto X Best Trick this year.
The trick, a 720 upright spin that doubles the
unprecedented 360 he pulled off in 2003, initial-
ly had a scatological name that ESPN’s
announcers couldn’t say. It was then dubbed the
“toilet paper roll” and finally, in a play on the
rider’s initials, “the TP roll.”
Unlike the double back flip, which Pastrana
has often said is not technically difficult but
requires fierce will and fearlessness, the “TP
Roll” is a methodical nightmare, requiring the
rider to turn in an unnatural direction the
moment he comes off the ramp.
But it does have its advantages over the dou-
ble back flip.
“If you don’t land it, you’re not gonna die,”
Pastrana said with a giggle.
Pastrana expressed some concern that the lin-
gering effect of a collarbone broken on the Nitro
Circus tour could leave him without the upper-
body strength to do the trick, but at midweek he
was still slated to try it.
He isn’t the only major name back in the X
Games spotlight.
White, coming off an Olympic gold medal in

with the Tennessee Titans and most certainly
does not want to line up as a nose tackle in a
3-4 defense. The Redskins have said he
should at least give the defense a chance.
Shanahan said he was “very pleased” with
Haynesworth’s mindset during their
Wednesday meeting, which perhaps could
signal of change of heart.
“The conversation went well,” the coach
said, “and now we’ll get a chance to see exact-
ly where we’re at in the near future.”
Shanahan said he did not ask Haynesworth
about the litany of legal issues that have sur-
faced and resurfaced during the offseason.
Among the headlines: lawsuits by a bank over
a loan repayment and by a man injured in an
automobile accident, accusations from
Haynesworth’s ex-wife that he hasn’t paid
bills, and an allegation from an exotic dancer
that he got her pregnant.
“I have not addressed those issues with
him,” Shanahan said. “He’s a grown man.”

year off spent focusing on snowboarding.
He’s entered in Skateboard Vert, where he
won his first summer X Games gold in 2007,
and Skateboard Vert Best Trick.
On the women’s side, Ashley Fiolek, the deaf
motocross rider who has quickly gone from teen
phenom to X Games veteran, will seek her sec-
ond straight gold in Moto X.
And athletes including Kevin Robinson and
Bob Burnquist will take on the X Games’ now-
near legendary mega ramp, where skateboarders
and BMX riders annually challenge gravity and
sanity.
After several years of indoor competition on
the mega ramp, athletes will have to deal with
the wind as they fly through the sky over the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The Coliseum is part of a new layout for the
games this year, which have settled into semi-
permanent status with seven years in the Los
Angeles area.
Events have in recent years been split between
the Home Depot Center in Carson and the
Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, but in
2010 the games will virtually all be centered in
a revitalized downtown Los Angeles.

the tournament ended right there with Crawford

goes that ties are like kissing your sister,
Crawford was downright ecstatic to finish in a
tie on this occasion.
Crawford is a rising star. He’s a member of the

Despite what appears to be a rapid ascen-
sion up the swimming ladder, Farley said
Camerino was hardly a fish in water when he
first began racing.
“When he first started, he wasn’t one of
the best swimmers,” Farley said. “He’s
worked hard. He’s a smart swimmer because
he pays attention to what we’re teaching. It
hasn’t been easy, that’s for sure.”
Competitive swimming is not for the weak
of heart or mind. Not only are practices gru-
eling, meets are no picnic, either — espe-

Crawford is also a solid putter and straight as
a zipper off the tee. That’s why, ironically
enough, Crawford struggles more on short
courses than long ones.
“I don’t hit it very long, but I’m very straight
off the tee,” Crawford said. “I’m used to playing
long courses because the Olympic Club is about
7,000 yards from the back tees and a very tough
course.”
Crawford is also similar to Weir in that he was
a standout junior hockey player. In fact, hockey
was far and away Crawford’s favorite sport
growing up. He was a center on the traveling
club team Belmont Rangers, competing in tour-
naments across the U.S. and Canada. However,
when Crawford was 12, he knew if he wanted to
pursue a career in hockey, he would have to go
els of competition — and the younger kids
are not exempt. Although Camerino’s seven
events were split up over four days during
the Szmidt championships, there is the possi-
bility of swimming upward of six races a
day. Trials and qualifying races are held in
the morning and, if swimmers are good
enough to advance to the finals, they will
swim again in the evening. If a swimmer has
three races a day on his or her docket, that
means six races.

admitted.

only drawback was) it consumed my life.”
After qualifying for the Junior Worlds golf
tournament in San Diego when he was 12,
Crawford quit hockey cold turkey.
“Qualifying for Junior Worlds gave me a
spark to pursue golf,” he said. “It was a new
experience that I really wanted to pursue and in
the end, I felt like I could take golf a lot farther
than hockey.”
After Monday’s experience, it’s apparent
Crawford made a great decision. After finishing
the playoff hole, Crawford was trying to grasp
the enormity of his accomplishment. Things did-
n’t fully register until a United State Golf
Association official handed him an envelope,
which contained all the information he would
need to know about the U.S. Amateur.

Crawford said. “And it’s a moment I’ll never for-

success has Camerino thinking of swimming
in the national championships, as well as the
Olympics.
Only time will tell how good Camerino
will eventually be. But it’s hard to argue with
the success he’s had so far in his brief career.

one of the top swimmers around for his age.”

will use a similar format to last year, with a first
four days of “intensive learning.” The players
will not wear pads for the first eight sessions of
practice over four days as the coaches will re-
teach everything from the beginning to make
sure everybody is up to speed next week.
Cable said he was pleased with how that
approach worked a year ago, even if it was hard
for outsiders to see the results. He said there will
be plenty of time for hitting starting next week.
“There’s a ton of benefits,” he said. “I think the
first thing probably is just how our team got into
camp and stayed healthy through camp, other
than probably the loss of Chaz Schilens. You
look at the soft-tissue injuries and things like that
we didn’t have, that teams typically get in those
issues.”
When practice starts Thursday, offseason
acquisition Jason Campbell will be running with
the first team at quarterback. When the Raiders
acquired Campbell from Washington during the
draft for a 2012 fourth-round draft pick, Cable
said there would be an open competition at quar-
terback.
That remained the stance during minicamps
and offseason workouts but Cable said Campbell
is his starter right now because Bruce
Gradkowski missed the past three months with a
torn pectoral muscle.
Campbell started 52 games for Washington
since being a first-round pick in 2005. He has
thrown for 55 touchdowns, 38 interceptions and
has a passer rating of 82.3 in his career.
He is coming off his best season, completing
64.5 percent of his passes with 20 touchdowns,
15 interceptions and a passer rating of 86.4. But

Gibson converted the resulting free kick, curving
a shot from just outside the penalty area into the
upper left corner of the goal.
Cleverley scored about 3 minutes later, flipping
the ball over Conde and beating backup goal-
keeper Nick Rimando with a low left-footed shot.
Hernandez, a speedy striker, took a long pass
from Paul Scholes and hooked a long shot over
Rimando in the 84th minute for a 5-1 lead.
Donovan, the star of the U.S. World Cup team,
trotted onto the field in the 74th minute, drawing
a loud ovation. Donovan played the final 16 min-
utes without taking a shot.
Dwayne De Rosario scored in the 90th minute
to round out the scoring.
Manchester United will play Chivas
Guadalajara on Friday in Mexico before returning
to England. The Red Devils open their Premier
League schedule on Aug. 16, against Newcastle.

PITINO
Continued from page 12
Pitino said. “She said she didn’t know
what she was going to do.”
Sypher said she had no health insur-
ance, Pitino said, so he offered $3,000.
He thought the money was for counsel-
ing and medical needs but Sypher later
said she had an abortion, Pitino said.
Less than a year later, Pitino’s assis-
tant, Tim Sypher, married Karen Wise.
Threats to reveal the fling came nearly
six years after it took place, Pitino said.
On Feb. 26, 2009, he listened to a cell
phone message of a man’s voice describ-
ing details of the encounter at the restau-
rant and calling it a violent assault,
Pitino told the jury.
“He mentioned the word rape. I got
very sick to my stomach,” Pitino said.
He said he felt threatened and fright-
ened.
Jurors earlier heard testimony from
Lester Goetzinger of Louisville, who
acknowledged making the calls in
exchange for sexual favors from Sypher.
Pitino also testified he received a
handwritten note from Sypher in March
2009 that asked for cars, housing and
money.
Jurors also heard an hour-long record-
ing Sypher secretly made of a meeting
with Pitino. Pitino is heard repeatedly
asking Sypher who made the calls and
how someone would have known details
of their 2003 encounter.

It’s tea time, for your plants By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s tea time in the garden. But this tea is for
your garden, not for you.
Let’s begin with a general tonic. Mmmm ...
how about some manure tea? Compost tea
might serve as well.
Make either one with a giant tea bag: A
burlap sack filled with compost or manure.
Tie the bag shut with string, then drop it into
a bucket or barrel of water to steep for a day
or two. By then the water should have dark-
ened to ... what else but a tea-brown color? If
the tea looks too strong — that is, too dark —
just dilute it before use.
Just about any plant might like this brew
periodically poured about its roots. For a
quicker pick-me-up — just the thing for a
plant that looks peaked — spray the tea right
on the leaves.
What this tea offers plants is a whole range
of nutrients, as well as some natural hormones
and other growth factors.
An equally valuable tea, according to some
gardeners, can be brewed from stinging net-
tles. Nettles generally grow wild in rich,
sunny soils. Find a patch and, with gloved
hands (or else you’ll get stung), cut a pile of
stems and then cover them in a bucket with
water. Let this mix sit for a few days. It is
going to ferment, and begin to look and smell
rank. No matter: This tea isn’t for you. Plants
allegedly love it.
So much for general tonics. Other garden
teas are brewed up for more specific effect.
TEA FOR PLANT DISEASES
Diseases threatening? Nothing like a spritz
of horsetail tea to keep them at bay. You’ll

plant in a gallon of water, strain, cool and
spray.
Or make a tea from chive leaves. Some say
THE DAILY JOURNAL
this tea is effective against all sorts of mildews
because chives themselves are not prone to
these diseases, although that reasoning seems
shaky to me.
Horsetail is high is silica, which has been
shown to protect plants against diseases, so
there’s more reason to believe that that tea
could actually do something for a plant.
TEA AGAINST INSECT PESTS
Insects threatening? Gardeners have come
up with all sorts of brews to put on plant
leaves to ward off winged and crawling
attackers.
There’s a general brew decocted from gar-
lic, hot pepper, mustard, mint and anything
else you can think of that either smells or
tastes very strong. Who knows? Maybe it
works. Tomato leaf tea reputedly confuses
aphids’ sense of taste, but I think a strong
spray of plain water is an easier way to get rid
of this pest.
One tea that definitely does work against
insects, by killing them, is that made from
tobacco. An older British gardening book sug-
gests brewing your own from cigarette butts,
but you could just buy the stuff, sold commer-
cially as Black Leaf 40. Think twice before
you start mixing up or spraying it, though,
because it is very poisonous.
BE CAREFUL WITH PLANT TEAS
For that matter, most of the teas that you
would give your plants are not ones you
should be drinking. Most either taste bad or
are toxic to people, so don’t leave unused por-
tions lying around.
There is one tea you could enjoy with your
plants, and that is chamomile tea. How sooth-
ing to sit in the garden and sip a cup of this
golden brew. For the plants, chamomile tea
might do more than just soothe. It reputedly
thwarts diseases generally and, most specifi-
cally, damping off, a fungal disease that
attacks potted seedlings at the soil line.

its best to push the day laborers and the
contractors that hire them to the Worker
Resource Center on Fifth Avenue.
“There used to be hundreds of day
laborers on the streets,” said Anderson,
who has been assigned to the downtown
beat for more than five years.
The department has dedicated patrols
in downtown at all hours of the day,
including officers on foot patrol day and
night.
On weekends, officers from through-
out the county come into downtown San
Mateo as part of the Gang Task Force to
help patrol the area.
Gang activity often spikes in the sum-
mer and the department is constantly
developing strategies to keep violence
and crime related to gangs at a mini-
mum, said police Lt. Jack Ratcliffe.
Regarding the July 15 incident where
Jonathan Medina, 14, allegedly stabbed
a man seven times, police made four
arrests just minutes after the confronta-
tion took place.
The District Attorney’s Office also
charged Rogelio Gastelum, 19, of San
Mateo, for an attack that left two men
beaten with one of them fighting for his
life. Gastelum, who was on probation at
the time, is charged with attempted mur-
der, felony assault and intimidating a
witness to the nighttime confrontation.
The incident started with an argument
in front of the Friendship Hall before the
group made its way down to Eldorado
Street where the stabbing took place.
someone would have called the police
before the argument escalated, the stab-
bing may not have occurred,” Ratcliffe
said.
The police are on heightened aware-
ness of street gang activity.
“One gang member represents a gang
problem,” Ratcliffe said.
There has also not been an uptick in
crime in the downtown area and no spike
in violent gang activity, said police Sgt.
David Norris.
“Street robberies have subsided,”
Norris said.
The Downtown San Mateo
Association works closely with the
police to address safety in the area and
the group’s new Executive Director Rob
Edwards, said the area is safe.
Edwards is a former police officer
who, while walking downtown day and
night, pays close attention to people who
might create problems.
“For an inner suburban downtown,
this is a very safe place to shop with kids
and dine out at night. There are virtually
no homeless issues here or panhandling
or vagrancy like in many other nearby
cities of our size. The crime stats support
this,” Edwards said.
He called the Friendship Hall incident
an isolated one.
“This is not a trend,” Edwards said.
Although Pringle feels better about his
personal safety after talking with Officer
Anderson, he is not the only local resi-
dent or business owner who has been on
heightened alert since the July 15 stab-
bing.
Jim Cullison, 38, and his wife both
feel unsafe in downtown.
“There are a lot of young adult males
If he’s wrong, Chase agrees his client is
ater. Maybe they are wanna-be gang-
sters. They are thuggish looking and just
kind of hanging out,” Cullison said. “It
looks like people are looking for trou-
ble.”
Cullison said he and his wife now
keep their trips to downtown during the
daytime and keep the visits brief.
“The stabbing alarmed us. The
Friendship Hall is just a stone’s throw
away from the movie theater,” he said.
“It had a big impact on us.”
Downtown business owner Harry
Roussard is also concerned about the
“recent violence.”
Roussard wants to get the police out of
their cars and patrolling downtown on
foot.
“Maniacs sit around here and make
life miserable for us,” said Roussard,
who owns a beauty supply shop in
downtown.
The police department realizes that
someone can visit downtown a thousand
times and never have any trouble.
“It is the one time that someone expe-
riences something bad that they remem-
ber the most,” Lt. Ratcliffe said.
Ratcliffe, Norris and Anderson
encourage anyone who might feel unsafe
or notice something suspicious to call
the non-emergency dispatch number at
522-7700. Residents can also visit a
website to look at all police calls in their
neighboring by going to www.crimere-

Chase said his plan is to fight as hard
as he can for his client on both the sen-
tencing and retrial issues.
Grandsaert declared a mistrial July 14
after jurors deliberated seven days
before announcing they were helplessly
deadlocked 11-1 in favor of guilt on the
majority of charges. Two days prior, the
jury had returned verdicts of guilty on
nine charges of felony lewd acts with a
child by force or threat and one count of
lewd and lascivious behavior. A remain-
ing count was dismissed after jurors
returned both guilty and not guilty
forms.
The deliberations were particularly
strained, with one juror reportedly refus-
ing to deliberate further after reaching

He was apprehended in Guam and

The year ahead could turn out to be one of the more active
and exciting times in your life. There is a strong chance that
you will meet and be included in a new group where variety is
the spice of life, and which keeps busy trying to do it all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Money issues could be your downfall
at this time, such as being generous to those in need, but
unrealistic as to how much giving is enough. Or, you could
make a loan to a friend who never pays you back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Listen to what others have to say
but abide by your own common sense. Your conclusions on
certain subjects could be as good as, or perhaps even better
than, those of your peers.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Should someone who likes you
invite you to participate in something fun, don’t take it upon
yourself to bring along another who wasn’t included. It could
be embarrassing for your host.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Be careful not to come off as
taking it upon yourself to be the head honcho. By blending in
with the group and not trying to run things, it’ll put everyone
at ease and provide more fun for everybody.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Success could be
denied you if you try to take on too many difficult or com-
plicated assignments. Be realistic about how much you can
accomplish and you’ll do all right.
constructive manner. Conversely, if you come off as a dictator
imposing your views on others, you’ll lose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Be extra cautious about
acting impulsively when handling your funds or commercial
affairs. If you behave impulsively and don’t think things
through, it could be costly.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - An important relationship
could be put in jeopardy if you continuously insist upon having
your own way. Not thinking about what the other party wants
or feels might come off as being selfish.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t put any conditions or
strings on a favor you do for a friend. The minute you do, it no
longer can be considered a good deed. It’ll fall in the category
of being a pay transaction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you find yourself in a posi-
tion where a lot of peer pressure is being placed on you to do
something you’d rather not, be firm and unyielding about not
going along with the crowd. Be your own person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Don’t bring office politics home
and take them out on the family. Instead of getting your kin’s
loving support and sympathy, you’ll only incite them to rise
up against you.
Previous
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Chances are it’ll prove to be
counterproductive to play hard to get with someone you find Sudoku
to be very appealing. By being standoffish, you’ll lose out for

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Your peers will be recep-

sure. Be up front and let the person know you care. answers

Worst floods in a decade in China,30,000 trapped

By Chi-Chi Zhang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — Floods caused by heavy rains
in northeastern China stranded tens of thou-
sands of residents without power Wednesday,
as the worst flooding in more than a decade
continued to besiege many areas of the coun-
try.
Floods this year have killed at least 928
people with 477 missing and caused tens of
billions of dollars in damage, the State Flood
Control and Drought Prevention office report-
ed. More heavy rains were expected for the
southeast, southwest and northeast parts of
the country through Thursday.
About 30,000 residents in Kouqian town
were trapped in their homes after torrential
rains drenched the northeastern province of
Jilin on Wednesday, the official Xinhua News
Agency reported. Water began flooding the
town after the nearby Xingshan Reservoir and
the Wende and Songhua rivers overflowed and
rescue crews were delivering supplies by boat
and moving people to higher ground, state tel-
evision reported.
Flooding has hit areas all over China.
Thousands of workers sandbagged riverbanks
and checked reservoirs in preparation for
potential floods expected to flow from the
swollen Yangtze and Han rivers, an official
with the Yangtze Water Resources
Commission said Wednesday. He gave only
his surname, Zhang, as is common with
Chinese officials.
“Right now, the Han river in Hubei
province is on the verge breaching warning REUTERS
levels,” Zhang said. Workers chat as they clean the mud left by a flood at a textile mill in Nanping,China.

STABLES
Continued from page 1
begin this fall, said Alison Kastama, Peninsula
communications liaison for the SFPUC.
Unfortunately, the land on which many of the
stables sit is required to make the upgrades, said
Kastama.
While space at other stables is available, they
are far away and more expensive. The families
using the space are asking to be relocated to
another nearby SFPUC-owned property.
Relocation, the SFPUC argued, would mean
spending public dollars on stables — not exact-
ly the charge of the group.
“We’re very conscious of the stables,”
Kastama said, adding they’ve been great neigh-
bors.
Families who have spent years together at the
site worry that maintaining their horses won’t
be possible without access to the urban stables.
San Bruno resident Lori Anderson has the
distinction of being the longest user of the sta-
bles, 36 years.
calls Maggie, in Millbrae offers her the chance
to stop by multiple times a day to care for the
animal. Housing Maggie in Half Moon Bay or
Woodside would mean a longer travel time, and
thus less time that could be dedicated to the
horse. But the cost is also prohibitive.
Spaces are available at private facilities. Unlike
the cooperative setup, costs would be required
for someone to care for the stables, food and
care — much of the work done by those who
use the Skyline Stables.
Terri Stines grew up around the corner from
the hidden stables. She and her siblings spent
summers caring for the horses, taking them
down the street and bathing the majestic crea-
tures in their family driveway.
“It’s the best gym,” she said, noting it requires
shoveling about 50 pounds of manure daily.
Today, she shares the experience with her
own children.
Stories of the 17 barns are shared during
friendly conversation. Many of those using the
co-op purchase a barn. Ownership of the barns
has changed over the years, with some users
staying atop the hill simply in a different barn.
Christine Hansen, president of the Skyline
photos dating back to 1959 showing the horses
and families who have used the space. She real-
ized one photo, that of a newborn pony, was
taken in the barn that is currently hers.
Carole Bottarini has used the stables for 28
years. Her love lives on in her daughter, and 2-
year-old granddaughter Sienna.
Bottarini, in her 60s, rides four to five times
weekly with daily visits to her horses — some-
thing that may not be possible if the horses were
housed in a different location.
Allen and Michelle Harrison have maintained
horses at one of the barns for 11 years.
Allen Harrison explained how his wife grew
up in San Francisco with a love for horses and a
desire to have them. He didn’t initially share
that enthusiasm, but laughed and said she clear-
ly won.
The family currently houses three horses on
site. The horses are gentle creatures, which
Allen Harrison trusts enough to allow some of
the younger ones to ride on their own.
Moving three horses to another facilities
would be a financial burden. Allen Harrison
estimated it would triple the cost. A bigger con-
cern to him is the loss to the children.
around on Monday afternoon, his friend 5-year-
old Cassie Brown was also riding.
Brown’s parents have space but when they’re
both working she will sometimes join the
Harrisons and ride Windy.
She’s been riding nearly her whole life, and
can easily explain the steps for prepping the
horse or extra help she needs to mount it as
she’s quite short compared to the gentle horse.
Brown also enjoys riding Starman, a horse
owned by Laura Stevens, a horse trainer.
“I always thought this place was an urban leg-
end,” said Stevens, who heard about Skyline
Stables long before knowing where it was locat-
ed.
It’s not an urban legend though.
“It’s the only place where you can just come
and hang out for hours and hours because peo-
ple can afford to be here,” she said.
The group is not sure what will happen, but is
currently seeking community support. They’ve
requested letters of support from the cities of
Millbrae and San Bruno, as well as local elect-
ed officials. Thus far, they have generated sup-
port from the Millbrae Historical Society and
supervisors Rich Gordon and Mark Church.
