Fighting for victims

Is washing your car in the drive-
way bad for the environment?
It is, according to the California
Regional Water Quality Control
Board.
But is it illegal?
It is not, according to the state
water board.
But a Belmont man was told he
will face a $500 ne or up to six
months in jail if he continues to
wash his cars on his Coronet
Boulevard driveway.
He received a warning from the
citys Public Works Department
April 30 that washing activities
can only be performed on vegetated
or grassy areas where the wash
water can be absorbed into the
ground instead of allowing it to
enter the storm drain system.
Vic Trierweiler got the warning
after a city construction and
stormwater inspector rst had a
conversation with him about keep-
ing the sudsy water from entering
the storm drain system.

John Lee remembered
as gracious and patriotic

As the city of San Mateo lowered
ags yesterday to half-staff to honor
the late John Lee, the former
mayors friends and colleagues
offered up praise for the 81-year-old
who died Monday night with his
family by his side at the Palo Alto
Veterans Administration hospital.
Lee battled Stage IV lung cancer
and pneumonia and entered into
hospice care.
Monday afternoon, his son John
Lee Jr. sat by his fathers bedside
and told the Daily Journal that his
father was less responsive Monday
than Sunday.
I will sit by his side as long as I
have to, Lee Jr. told the Daily
Journal.
Hours later, his father, a Marine
who fought in both Korea and
Vietnam, passed away.
Helping your father pass and tak-
ing care of the family is the hardest
thing I will ever have to do, Lee Jr.
wrote on his Facebook page. I can
only hope that I am half the man that
my father is.
As news spread his health was
declining fast, U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, phoned Lee
late last week to offer him encour-
agement.
He was such a gentleman,
Speier told the Daily Journal yester-
day. He was a soldier and a
thoughtful and progressive
Republican. He was solution driven.
I was devastated when I heard he
was sick.
Speier was perhaps struck most by
how courteous Lee was over the
telephone in his last conversation
with her, even while he neared

County officials approved mil-

design and build a new jail in
Redwood City even as some resi-

hope it will never break ground.
The Board of Supervisors, which
last year approved a new jail and
picked a 576-bed size with unn-
ished space, followed yesterday by
backing $16.5 million in contracts
for architects, builders and construc-

The jail itself is estimated to cost
approximately $155 million with

The Southern California man accused of
beating his wifes head against a car and the
ground after she requested a divorce over
breakfast in Pacica was charged yesterday
with premeditated attempted murder and
domestic violence.
John Howard Hunt, 66, of Julian, Calif.,
was arrested Saturday on suspicion of those
charges and prosecutors yesterday conrmed
them at his felony arraignment. He was also
charged with felony assault and felony assault
causing great bodily injury which are alterna-
tive charges to the more serious count.
The attempted murder charge requires an
expressed intent to kill and authorities say the
woman claimed that was what he tried doing
before she was able to seek help from another
motorist.
Hunt did not enter a plea and asked for time
to retain an attorney. A
judge also issued a
restraining order and
ordered Hunt back to court
May 15 to identify his
counsel. He has been held
without bail since his May
5 arrest.
The altercation between
Hunt and his wife of 21
years, who is also in her
60s, began Saturday morning after the woman
announced over breakfast that she wanted a
divorce, said Sheriffs Lt. Larry Schumaker.
The couple reportedly drove down Highway
101 and Hunt pulled into a cul-de-sac near
Montara where he asked her to get out and
give him a hug. Schumaker said after the
embrace, Hunt slammed his wifes head into
the car several times until she fell to the
ground where he further hit her.
The woman told authorities he wrapped his
belt around her neck until she couldnt breathe
and she thought she was going to die, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Hunt pulled his wife back into the car and
took off again, with her feet dangling from the
passenger side door, and she managed to
reach up and turn off the ignition, Schumaker
said.
Wagstaffe said the woman reported she
grabbed at a steel water bottle but he grabbed
it away and held her head down while driving.
Once the green Subaru came to a stop, the
profusely bleeding woman ran to another car
in search of help and that motorist drove to the
rst sheriffs unit available.
The woman, who drifted in and out of con-
sciousness, was airlifted to Stanford Medical
Center while sheriffs deputies found Hunt
inside his vehicle north of the scene on
Cabrillo Highway.
The couple has no prior history of violence,
Wagstaffe said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Passage of a $100 annual parcel tax could
raise an estimated $1 million for the San
Bruno Park Elementary School District, an
option the board will continue to explore
Wednesday night.
Last month, the Board of Trustees instruct-
ed staff to continue work on a possible parcel
tax to be placed on the November ballot. San
Bruno, like many districts, is facing nancial
challenges. Uncertainty over state funding is
part of the problem. One solution many have
turned to in recent years is local funding
through parcel taxes, the funds from which
can be used for a districts programs.
How much to ask for and for how long such
a measure would last needs to be determined,
and was not included in a staff report. The
direction came after a long meeting about the
possible closure of two elementary schools
a move the board opted not to do.
In addition, the board will discuss creating a
Save Our Schools committee so the communi-
ty could come together to nd budget solu-
tions. The idea was originally put forward by
Trustee Jennifer Blanco after the school clo-
sure conversation. The board meets 7 p.m.
Wednesday, May 9 at Parkside Middle
School, 1801 Niles Ave., San Bruno.
San Bruno to have parcel tax conversation
The San Bruno driver accused of running a
red light and crashing into another vehicle
before eeing the scene pleaded not guilty to
four felonies stemming from the incident that
left a 60-year-old woman dead.
Mitnesh Reddy, 22, is charged with vehicu-
lar manslaughter while under the inuence
and with gross negligence, felony driving
under the inuence causing injury, felony
driving with .08 or higher
blood alcohol level caus-
ing injuries and felony hit
and run causing death.
After entering his plea,
Reddy set an Aug. 20 jury
trial date.
Just before 4 a.m. Nov.
17, prosecutors say Reddy
ran a stoplight on El
Camino Real and T-boned a
vehicle exiting Interstate 380 in San Bruno. The
other driver, 60-year-old Sondra Gentile, was
killed while Reddy took off after the collision.
The crash shut down the section of El Camino
Real between Sneath Lane and San Bruno
Avenue for several hours. Meanwhile, San Bruno
police tracked the car, which is registered to
Reddy, back to his home where he was arrested.
He is free from custody on a $25,000 bail
bond. If convicted, he faces up to 11 years in
prison.

year-old Amy Freeman Burton and daughter
Ainsly Freeman.
Police say Burton was found dead at the
home Monday night. Ainsly was taken to the
hospital, where she later died.
Police say a handgun was found near the
victims, and there was no sign of forced entry.
Lt. Jeff Bretzing said that investigators are
questioning Christopher Burton, the husband
and stepfather of the victims, but they dont
consider him a suspect at this point.

SAN FRANCISCO University of
California students could face signicantly
higher tuition if the state doesnt increase
funding and voters reject the governors tax
initiative, school administrators said Tuesday.
Under one scenario, the 10-campus system
would raise tuition by 6 percent this fall if the
state doesnt increase funding by $125 million
for 2012-13, according to a document posted
online ahead of next weeks UC Board of
Regents meeting.
The university would need to consider a
mid-year tuition increase in the range of dou-
ble digits or make drastic cuts to campus
programs and stafng if voters dont pass
Gov. Jerry Browns tax plan in November,
ofcials said.
Were at a critical stage at the university.
The regents would face more draconian choic-
es if the governors initiative fails, Patrick
Lenz, vice president for budget and capital
resources, told the Associated Press in an
interview.
Board members are scheduled to discuss
ways to raise revenue and cut costs when they
meet in Sacramento on May 16. No action on
tuition is expected until July.
As the state grapples with another major
budget decit, Californias public colleges
and universities are crafting plans to respond
to another series of painful funding cuts.
In Long Beach on Tuesday, the Board of
Trustees of the California State University
system discussed options to reduce costs and
boost revenue to deal with its nancial woes.
It also took action to address anger over how
much campuses pay their presidents.
If UC approves the 6 percent hike, tuition
for in-state undergraduates would rise $731 to
$12,923, nearly double what students paid
five years ago before the financial crisis
began. That figure doesnt include room,
board or roughly $1,000 in campus fees.
Short of an ability of the state to buy out a
tuition increase, Im not sure how we would
avoid one, Lenz said.
But Lenz said the university remains com-
mitted to providing nancial aid to students
from low- and middle-income families. Most
UC students from families earning less than
$80,000 a year pay no tuition.
The amount of the proposed tuition hike
could change based on the states uid budget
situation, ofcials said.
Its unacceptable, said Claudia Magana,
president of the University of California
Students Association. We cant keep relying
on students to ll this budget gap.
The tuition scenarios are based on the 2012-
13 budget plan the governor released in
January. On Monday, Brown is scheduled to
release a revised budget proposal based on
new projections that state revenues have fall-
en about $3 billion below expectations.
Administrators said the university is in dis-
cussions with the governors ofce about cre-
ating a multi-year funding plan for UC if the
tax initiative passes. That proposal calls for
raising tuition by 6 percent annually over the
next ve years, so students know how much
their education will cost.
Over the past four years, the state has
slashed spending on higher education to close
yawning budget gaps caused by the nancial
crisis. The budget cuts have led to steep
tuition hikes, course cutbacks, staff layoffs
and rowdy student protests.
The UC and CSU systems each lost $750
million in state funding during the current s-
cal year. That represents a roughly 20 percent
cut for UC and 27 percent reduction for CSU.
Brown previously said UC and CSU would
each lose an additional $200 million if his tax
initiative is not approved. But UC and CSU
ofcials say the two systems could face even
deeper cuts because the states budget decit
is much larger than previously projected.
University of California weighs more tuition hikes
Its unacceptable. ...We cant keep
relying on students to ll this budget gap.

SAN DIEGO An increase in plastic
debris oating in a zone between Hawaii and
California is changing the environment of at
least one marine critter, scientists reported.
Over the past four decades, the amount of
broken-down plastic has grown signicantly
in a region dubbed the Great Pacic Garbage
Patch. Most of the plastic pieces are the size
of a ngernail. During a seagoing expedition,
researchers from the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography found that a marine insect that
skims the ocean surface is laying its eggs on
top of plastic bits instead of natural otsam
like wood and seashells.
Though plastic debris is giving the insects
places to lay eggs, scientists are concerned
about the manmade material establishing a
role in their habitat.
This is something that shouldnt be in the
ocean and its changing this small aspect of
the ocean ecology, said Scripps graduate stu-
dent Miriam Goldstein.
The finding will be published online
Wednesday in Biology Letters, a journal of
Britains Royal Society.
Goldstein led a group of researchers who
traveled 1,000 miles off the California coast in
August 2009 to document the impacts of the
garbage on sea life. For three weeks, they col-
lected marine specimens and water samples at
varying depths, and deployed mesh nets to
capture plastic particles.

FRESNO With a July 1 deadline
approaching for dozens of California state
parks on a budget closure list, legislators are
scrambling to keep them open with bills
meant to raise money through specialty
license tags and improved entrance fee collec-
tions.
However, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo
Alto, said he has found existing revenue
sources that could help defray the $22 million
shortfall in operating costs. He hopes his bill
will help keep at least 50 of the 70 parks on
the list from closing.
The notion of closing
70 state parks is penny-
wise and pound-foolish,
said Simitian, chairman of
the Senate Budget
Subcommittee on
Resources, Environmental
Protection, Energy and
Transportation. It doesnt
make sense to take what
may prove to be irreversible actions if we go
down this path.
As deadline nears, proposals

Obituary
A Redwood City High School student
accused of trying to rape a teacher at knife-
point in the school parking lot earlier this year
will stand trial this fall on several felonies that
can carry up to life in prison.
David Andres Velasquez, 19, pleaded not
guilty to kidnapping with the intent to rape,
assault with the intent to commit rape, false
imprisonment and making criminal threats.
After entering his Superior Court plea yester-
day, he was scheduled for a July 9 pretrial
conference followed by a Sept. 10 jury trial.
Redwood City police arrested Velasquez
Jan. 20 after the alleged attack in a parking
garage at Summit Preparatory Charter High
School on Broadway. Police said they
responded at approximately 5:15 p.m. to a
male who jumped from some bushes near the
lot and grabbed the teacher from behind. He
held a knife to her side and ordered her to go
to her car and climb in. When he threatened to
kill her if she did not comply, the woman
reported recognizing his voice as a student.
She intentionally dropped her keys to buy
time but he pushed her to the ground, pried
her legs apart with his elbow and laid on top
of her. Another woman entering the parking
lot saw the attack and screamed, causing him
to flee. Police identified the attacker as
Velasquez and arrested him later that night.
Velasquez remains in custody.

Finding housing in San Mateo County just
got a little easier with yesterdays launch of a
new online site meant to connect people with
available options.
The free service, known as
www.SCHousingSearch.org, provides anyone
with access to a computer, tablet or smart-
phone real-time information about rental
housing ranging from subsidized to market
rate.
First there were classied ads with tiny
print. Next came websites where you would
have to troll through hundreds of listings only
to nd that the place you wanted was already
taken, said Duane Bay, director of the coun-
tys Department of Housing, in a prepared
statement.
The site includes map links and information
about rent, deposits, accessibility features and
neighborhood amenities. Property providers
are not charged to list their offerings and the
listings can be immediately removed from
public view once rented to cut down on calls
about unavailable units. Users can further l-
ter results using criteria like housing for sen-
iors or units near pubic transit.
The service also offers a bilingual (English
and Spanish) call center to help both landlords
and renters.
The service is an effort of the San Mateo
County Housing Authority and the Housing
Leadership Council of San Mateo County
with contributions from community agencies
and local business sponsors. County ofcials
formally announced the services yesterday,
coinciding with the countys Affordable
Housing Week.

SACRAMENTO A rst-of-its-kind ban
on a controversial form of psychotherapy
aimed at making gay people straight is speed-
ing through the California statehouse.
Supporters say the legislation, which passed
its nal Senate committee Tuesday, is neces-
sary because such treatments are ineffective
and harmful.
This therapy can be dangerous, said the
bills author Sen. Ted Lieu. The Torrance
Democrat added the treatments can cause
extreme depression and guilt that sometimes
leads to suicide.
Conservative religious groups emphatically
reject that view of sexual orientation therapy
and say the ban would interfere with parents
rights to seek appropriate psychological care
for their children.
The bill would prohibit so-called reparative
therapy for minors and obligate adults to sign
a release form that states that the counseling is
ineffectual and possibly dangerous.
Representatives of the National Association
for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality
on Tuesday called the bill a piece of social
engineering masquerading as a solution to a
clinical problem.

Indianas Lugar loses, N.C. passes gay marriage ban
By Kasie Hunt
and Tom LoBianco
WASHINGTON Six-term
Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar was
routed by the right ank of his own
Republican Party Tuesday night,
and North Carolina voters decided
overwhelmingly to strengthen their
states gay marriage ban a con-
servative show of enthusiasm and
strength six months before the
nation chooses between Democratic
President Barack Obama and GOP
foe Mitt Romney.
Romney swept three Republican
primaries, moving ever closer to
sealing his nomination.
I have no regrets about running
for re-election, even if doing so can
be a very daunting task, the 80-
year-old Lugar said as he conceded
to the tea party-backed GOP oppo-
nent who ended his nearly four-
decade career in the Senate. Lugars
foe, state Treasurer Richard
Mourdock, had painted the
Republican senator as too moderate
for the conservative state.
North Carolinians voted to amend
their state constitution to define
marriage as between one man and
one woman, effectively outlawing
gay unions.
Also Tuesday, Democrats were
picking a nominee to challenge
Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker in a June recall election.
The contests overshadowed
Romneys continued progress
toward the GOP presidential nomi-
nation. He won the GOP presiden-
tial primaries in Indiana, North
Carolina and West Virginia, drawing
close to the 1,144 delegates he
needs to clinch the nomination. He
was likely to win 100 or so dele-
gates of the 288 he still needed.
Even Romney, the former
Massachusetts governor, was essen-
tially ignoring the primaries. He
spent the day campaigning in
Michigan, where he castigated
Obama as an old-school liberal
whose policies would take the coun-
try backward.
The outcomes of Tuesdays far-
ung voting gave clues about the
state of the electorate and high-
lighted the political mineelds fac-
ing both Republican and
Democratic candidates with the
presidential contest well under way.
In the biggest race of the night,
Lugar lost to state Treasurer
Mourdock, who will face
Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in
the November general election.
Within minutes of Lugars loss,
Democrats were already painting
Mourdock as too extreme for the state.
Tea party groups were crowing
about the win, and Mourdock urged
supporters to donate to his general
election campaign, saying: We left
everything on the table to win the
primary.

WASHINGTON The elections
that drove Nicolas Sarkozy out of
power in France and left Greece
scrambling to build a coalition gov-
ernment pose a nancial threat to
the United States that could under-
mine President Barack Obamas
efforts to cast himself as the agent
of a U.S. economic revival.
For Obama, the danger is that any
economic turmoil unleashed by the
French and Greek elections will
spill over to the United States, slow
the recovery even more and, ulti-
mately, further jeopardize his re-
election, adding him to the recent
roster of politicians whose careers
have been short-circuited by eco-
nomic anger.
At the same time it has shifted
Europes political balance to the left
and in favor of the type of econom-
ic growth policies that Obama has
advocated both for Europe and for
the United States.
For Mitt Romney, the all-but-cer-
tain Republican presidential chal-
lenger, the results in Europe under-
score how deeply economic unease
affects politics. They feed his
camps underlying storyline: that
Obamas economic policies would
not safeguard the United States from
a widening European recession.
But as a rejection of austerity
measures, the European elections
also present a cautionary tale for the
type of belt-tightening that Romney
and congressional Republicans have
embraced.
It is clear there is a lot of eco-
nomic anxiety in the EU that is
affecting world markets, and how
that affects the economy will have
an impact on voters throughout this
summer and into the fall, Romney
adviser Kevin Madden said.
Obama senior campaign adviser
David Axelrod has said repeatedly
that the biggest challenge to
Obamas re-election is economic
developments beyond Obamas
control.
As has happened several times
before, when our economy gets
going, events elsewhere can inter-
vene and throw a monkey wrench in
the works, he said. Were not
hoisting a Mission Accomplished
banner. We know there is a lot of
work left to be done and the head-
winds are part of that equation.

Bomb plot is a reminder of overseas security gaps
WASHINGTON In the wake of a failed al-Qaida plot to
blow up a U.S.-bound airliner, the Obama administration on
Tuesday sought to reassure travelers that security at American
airports is as good as it has ever been.
Overseas, where such plots originate, security is a different
story.
While airline checks in the United States mean passing
through an onerous, sometimes embarrassing series of pat-
downs and body scans, procedures overseas can be a mixed
bag. The U.S. cannot force other countries to permanently
adopt the expensive and intrusive measures that have become
common in American airports over the past decade.
The latest al-Qaida plot originated in Yemen and used an
upgrade over the bomb that failed to detonate on board an air-
plane over Detroit on Christmas 2009. Ofcials said this new
bomb was meant to be concealed in a passengers underwear,
contained no metal and used a chemical lead azide that
was to be a detonator in a nearly successful 2010 plot to attack
cargo planes.
FDA review favors first drug for HIV prevention
WASHINGTON A pill that has long been used to treat
HIV has moved one step closer to becoming the rst drug
approved to prevent healthy people from becoming infected
with the virus that causes AIDS.
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that Gilead
Sciences Truvada appears to be safe and effective for HIV pre-
vention. It concluded that taking the pill daily could spare
patients infection with a serious and life-threatening illness
that requires lifelong treatment.
On Thursday a panel of FDA advisers will consider the
review when it votes on whether Truvada should be approved
as a preventative treatment for people who are at high risk of
contracting HIV through sexual intercourse. The FDA is not
required to follow the advice of its panels, but it usually does.

NEW YORK Gasoline prices likely
wont set any records this summer,
thanks to a recent drop in the price of oil.
The government on Tuesday slashed
its forecast for average gas prices to
$3.79 per gallon for the summer driving
season. Thats down from an initial esti-
mate of $3.95 and below 2008s record
average of $3.80.
The Energy Information
Administrations revised forecast is
encouraging news for the economy.
Some economists blame high pump
prices for so-so consumer spending this
year. They were also seen as a factor in
the loss of 35,000 retail jobs in February
and March.
Gasoline prices soared 20 percent
from January to early April.
A few analysts warned drivers they
could pay as much as $5 this summer,
eclipsing the 2008 record of $4.11 per
gallon.
Not any-
more. The
price of
benchmark crude has dropped
about $8 per barrel since early
April. Retail gas prices have fol-
lowed, falling 17 cents since reach-
ing $3.936 on April 5.
Its almost like a tax cut, said Jared
Bernstein, a senior fellow Center for
Budget and Policy Priorities. EIAs pre-
diction means that motorists will spend
about $10.7 billion less on gasoline than
previously anticipated.
Last year, drivers paid an average of
$3.71 per gallon from April to
September, a period the government
considers the peak driving season.
Gasoline will likely become less of a
campaign issue. Republican presidential
candidates hammered at President
Obama as prices jumped this year, even
though presidents have little sway over
pump prices. If gasoline gets even
cheaper, experts think it
will likely get
knocked from the
top tier of cam-
paign issues.
To not have gas prices
nipping at your heels in
an election is obvious-
ly favorable to the
incumbent, said
Bernstein, who
was formerly an
economic adviser to Vice President Joe
Biden.
Its still a bit of a mixed bag for the
president. Part of the reason oil prices
have declined during the past month is
sluggishness in the U.S. economy, high-
lighted by a disappointing jobs report
last week.
Gas price likely wont set record this summer

WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans blocked a Democratic bill
Tuesday to preserve low interest rates
for millions of college students loans, as
the two parties engaged in election-year
choreography aimed at showing each is
the better protector of families in todays
rugged economy.
The 52-45 vote to begin debating the
legislation fell eight votes short of the 60
needed to proceed and stalled work on
an effort both parties expect will ulti-
mately produce a compromise, probably
soon. For now, each side is happy to use
the stalemate to snipe at the other with
campaign-ready talking points while
they are gridlocked
over how to cover the
$6 billion cost.
Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., said the vote
showed that despite
GOP claims that they
support preventing
an increase in stu-
dent loan rates,
Republicans showed today that its only
talk.
He also noted that the likely GOP
presidential candidate, Mitt Romney,
supports a temporary extension of
todays low rates and needled, I suggest
he pick up the phone and call Senator
McConnell.
That was a reference to Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-
Ky., who said the battle is a phony one
manufactured by Democrats to woo
votes from students.
Both parties say they want to extend
low interest rates.
The Senate has ceased to be a place
where problems are resolved. Its
become instead a place where
Democrats produce campaign material,
McConnell said.
The vote was nearly party-line, with
Reid voting no to give himself the pro-
cedural ability to demand another vote
once a compromise is reached. Sen.
Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who is retir-
ing after citing excessive partisanship in
Washington, voted present.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Post and Courier of Charleston
M
any Democratic politicians,
including President Barack
Obama, are sounding a familiar
alarm that Republicans aim to end Medicare
as we know it. Some of them also have been
reprising an election-year tradition by accus-
ing GOP opponents of being intent on
destroying Social Security.
But both of those massive federal entitle-
ment programs as we know them are
doomed without fundamental reforms.
Blocking those overdue changes is a sure
way to destroy them.
The grim reality was reconrmed recently.
Ponder this familiar and still unheeded
warning: Lawmakers should not delay
addressing the long-run nancial challenges
facing Social Security and Medicare. If they
take action sooner rather than later, more
options and more time will be available to
phase in changes so that the public has ade-
quate time to prepare.
That wasnt a Republican campaign pitch.
That was an alarm sounded by Social
Security trustees as they issued their annual
report. They project that the systems disabil-
ity fund will run out of money in 2016, with
the retirement fund hitting empty in 2035.
That means the two funds, combined, are
forecast to run dry in 2033 three years
earlier than last years belly-up prediction.
As Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner,
the senior trustee, told reporters when the lat-
est numbers were released: We must take
steps to keep these programs whole for the
future.
But which steps?
And when we will take them?
The inescapable truth remains that
Medicare and Social Security are unsustain-
able in their current formats. Election-year
vows to save them without comprehensive
overhauls are promises that no politician can
keep.
And the longer elected ofcials in both
parties and the rest of us keep putting
off the hard calls required to rescue Social
Security and Medicare, the tougher that mis-
sion will be.
Caltrain MOU is a disaster
Editor,
On Thursday, the Caltrain board approved
a memorandum of understanding with the
High-Speed Rail Authority which Caltrain is
celebrating as being the salvation of Caltrain,
since it will provide funding for electrica-
tion of their tracks.
What a deal! One really wonders if the
board, which literally rubber-stamps every-
thing that comes before them, ever exercises
any thought on the actions they take.
This MOU replaces the original agreement
between the authority and Caltrain. The orig-
inal agreement would have funded not only
electrication but also full grade separations
of the line. Under that agreement, Caltrain
would not be sharing its tracks with the
Authority, but the authority would have its
own dedicated tracks and Caltrain would
have its own tracks. Not anymore.
Now, Caltrain must allot time slots on its
tracks to the authority, reducing the number
of trains and therefore the service that
Caltrain will be able to provide to its com-
muters. It will prove to be an unworkable
arrangement for both parties.
The original full four track deal was not
acceptable to the communities along the
Peninsula. This new arrangement is not
acceptable either. Passing tracks along about
one-fourth of the 50 miles from San
Francisco to San Jose will be needed and are
not going to be acceptable to whatever com-
munities they run through. San Mateo is
already asking for a certain kind of grade
separations, and there is no funding for those
grade separations or any other kind of grade
separation anywhere else either.
The fact of the matter is that HSR does not
belong on the Caltrain corridor at all. It
should have never been approved in the rst
place and it should never have been again
approved last Thursday.

Response to Sometimes
getting it right takes time
Editor,
In response to the guest perspective
Sometimes getting it right takes time pub-
lished in the May 5-6 weekend edition of the
Daily Journal, where do I start? The perspec-
tive says: After years of concern, debate and
even outright anger at the prospect of what
high-speed rail might do to the communities
of the Peninsula, the blended system ... has
emerged as a true regional answer. There is
no mention of the voters being lied to or the
fraudulent ridership numbers which were
reported.
The perspective also quotes: On behalf of
organizations responsible for promoting trans-
portation, jobs, economic development and
the environment, we urge the Legislature to
take advantage of this opportunity and fully
fund high-speed rail early investment on the
Peninsula. This is a true statement up to the
quote and the environment. The perspective
should have read promoting jobs and eco-
nomic growth and getting supervisors (Carole
Groom) appointed instead of elected.
I suggest that we, San Mateo County,
should stop communicating with HSR
period.

Editor,
Losing the Saltworks project was a big loss
for Redwood City. Now that the anti-growth
global warming cult crowd scared off the
developers, we all have to look and smell the
salt ats wasteland for the next 20 years, or
longer. This was a very viable project which
would have generated some needed city rev-
enue while providing quality housing. It
would have been a premier development in
the Bay Area, rivaling that of Foster City.
Unfortunately, new residents coming to
Redwood City looking for quality housing
will have limited choices in the upper
Westside or the Shores. Or they will just have
to move to Foster City.

Credit card fraud
Editor,
I recently received my statement for my
credit card. There were four charges transact-
ed at Apple. I, nor anybody in my family,
made those charges. I called the credit card
company and they immediately recognized
them as fraudulent transactions, inasmuch as
so many charges were made in one or two
days. Each charge was approximately $49.95,
which is under the amount presently required
for ID. The credit card company immediately
issued a credit to my account, told me to
destroy my existing credit card (which I did)
and said they would issue a new one.
It is inconceivable to me why an identica-
tion card (i.e. drivers license or, if under age,
some kind of an ID) is not required when
making a charge of any amount at any store.
This would certainly prevent (I am sure) hun-
dreds of millions of dollars of fraudulent
charges being made.

for his oft-repeated state-
ment was because he really liked the work of
so many. A development was outstanding, the
work of city staff was outstanding, his time on
the council was, well, outstanding.
For someone with a reputation for having a
gruff and upfront demeanor, Lee was a positive
man with an appreciation of hard work and
dedication. As a public servant, he was also,
outstanding.
When I rst started working as a journalist
on the Peninsula, the makeup of the council
was far different Claire Mack, Paul
Gumbinger, Sue Lempert, Jerry Hill and Gary
Yates were on it. Today, you have Jack
Matthews, David Lim, Robert Ross, Maureen
Freschet and Brandt Grotte. Bridging that time
was John Lee, who came to the council in 1999
and left last year. He was a consistent force on
the council and often lauded city staff for their
work and dedication. He was part of the coun-
cil that approved the new downtown cinema
and saw to it that the city got a new police sta-
tion, re stations and main library. He was also
largely supportive of the Bay Meadows devel-
opment, which charged up those in opposition
to it. Because he was so blatantly outspoken, he
was often made a target but I always got the
feeling that he didnt care that much because he
felt his stance was the right one.
He also let you know when you got on his
bad side. In 2003, he made a claim he was a
physicist at a neighborhood meeting when
arguing about a proposed expansion at San
Francisco International Airport. I wrote a
tongue-in-cheek story about the claim and Lee
didnt appreciate it. He wouldnt talk to me for
months. But when incoming mayor Sue
Lempert gave him an honorary physics degree
at the annual council rotation, Lee pointed the
scroll at me as I stood to the side of the council
chambers with a wink. Seems we were good.
A Republican, Lee was rather progressive in
his views on housing and development and
believed in nding ways for people of all
income levels to nd a home in the city he
loved. When he was mayor, he was at City Hall
every day and was known for his own dedica-
tion to community outreach. It was a job he
took extremely seriously.
Some called him a yes man when it came to
city staff, since he always seemed to agree with
staffs recommendations. However, I recall a
time in which my wife and I were told by an
off-duty police ofcer to leave the plaza in
front of the movie theater since we had not
bought a ticket to a movie. I moved along, but
knowing that the development agreement pro-
vided for such a space to remain public, called
the current mayor for help. When the mayor
didnt see a reason to help, I knew I could call
Lee. He was as angry as I was and promised to
rufe some feathers. The policy, which was
enacted to stem gang activity, was halted. After,
I received several letters and calls thanking me
for a column I wrote on the topic in which the
police chief promised to end the policy imme-
diately.
In recent years, as development slowed in
San Mateo, Lee seemed to be less in the center
of controversy, but he still maintained his posi-
tive outlook on the city and was always a go-to
person on the council for an opinion.
Last year, when I was thinking of who might
be appropriate to write a guest perspective on
Veterans Day, I thought of Lees 22 years in
the U.S. Marines and made the call.
He answered the phone, listened to my query
and simply said, When do you need it by?
Outstanding.

Political uncertainty in debt-hobbled
Europe spread to financial markets
Tuesday and pushed stocks lower in
Europe and the United States.
The Dow Jones industrial average was
down almost 200 points at its low point
for the day before recovering most of its
loss to nish down 76. It was the aver-
ages fth straight decline.
European indexes closed near their
lowest levels in months, and the euro
neared a ve-month low against the dol-
lar.
Prices plummeted for commodities
like oil and copper that depend on the
health of the world economy. The tur-
moil in Europe added to concerns about
slower economic growth in China and
weaker job creation in the U.S.
Trading throughout the markets is
growing more volatile as Europes debt
crisis accelerates to a point where its
not really controllable with the sorts of
Band-Aids theyve used, said Daniel
Alpert, managing partner at the invest-
ment bank Westwood Capital Partners
LLC.
Greek voters on Sunday rejected par-
ties that had imposed the deep spending
cuts demanded by Greeces bailout
lenders. Cuts to pensions and social pro-
grams are deepening Greeces crushing
recession.
On Tuesday, the left-wing politician
struggling to form a new government
declared that the country was no longer
bound by its promises cut spending
sharply in exchange for international
bailout loans.
The politician, Alexis Tsipras, also
demanded a moratorium on repaying the
part of Greeces debt that is onerous.
The main stock index in Greece closed
down 3.6 percent after a 7 percent
decline the day before.
After a calm nish Monday, bench-
mark indexes in Germany and France
plunged to near their lowest levels this
year. Italys was near its lowest since last
November. The main stock index in
Britain hit its lowest point this year.
Central banks have injected billions
into Europes nancial system, provid-
ing temporary support for stock and
commodity prices, Alpert said. If that
liquidity is supposed to prime the pump,
and the pump doesnt take over, then
youve got a problem, he said.
Europe pushes stocks lower
Wall Street
Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
OfceMax Inc., up 49 cents at $4.89
Thanks to its cost-cutting, the ofce supply
retailer posted rst-quarter results that beat
Wall Streets expectations.
Tenet Healthcare Corp., up 6 cents at $5.10
The hospital operator said its rst-quarter
earnings fell 20.5 percent as its expenses and
bad debt rose.
Nasdaq
The Wendys Co., down 20 cents at $4.67
The fast-food company reported a rst-quarter
prot that missed Wall Street expectations and
it cut its forecast for the year.
Fossil Inc., down $47.25 at $78.52
The watch companys 2012 prot forecast
disappointed investors and it said sales in
Europe fell as the economy weakened.
Wynn Resorts Ltd., down $5.96 at $119.23
The casino operator said its rst-quarter prot
fell 19 percent on a decline in business at its Las
Vegas operations.

than-expected revenue for the coming year.

rst quarter as it delivered more railcars and cut
its manufacturing costs.

growth for its only marketed product, the
prostate cancer treatment Provenge.

LOS ANGELES Homeowners with
a Bank of America mortgage have good
reason to check their mailbox.
The lender said Tuesday it has begun
mailing out letters to customers who
may qualify to have their home loans
reduced as part of a multistate settlement
over alleged foreclosure abuses.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based company
estimates that more than 200,000 of its
customers could potentially be in line for
a reduction in the principal balance on
their mortgage.
Some customers could receive letters
from the bank as early as this week that
invite them to provide nancial informa-
tion as part of a review process for the
program. The bank plans to have mailed
out most of the letters by the end of the
third quarter.
Bank of America estimates that cus-
tomers who end up receiving the loan
modications will save, on average, 30
percent a month on their mortgage pay-
ments.
Among the criteria to qualify, borrow-
ers must owe more on their mortgage
than the property is worth, and be at least
60 days behind on payments as of Jan.
31.
Bank of America will reduce the
amount owed by the homeowners by as
much as $100,000 in some cases. And
only mortgages that are currently owned
by Bank of America will qualify. Those
that are owned by government entities
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or backed
by the Federal Housing Administration,
will not be eligible.
The lender said it began reducing the
principal balance on mortgages in
March, focusing initially on homeown-
ers who already had a loan modication
bid under review.
Under this initiative, the bank said it
has mailed 5,000 trial modification
offers, representing potentially more
than $700 million in forgiven principal
balances.
Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo
& Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc.
agreed to a $25 billion settlement with
49 state attorneys general and federal
ofcials in February.
Most of the settlement is earmarked
for reducing loans for about 1 million
U.S. households that owe more on their
mortgages than their homes are worth.

LOS ANGELES The Walt Disney
Co. is looking to avenge the loss it took
on the blockbuster bomb, John Carter.
What better way than to ramp up its
investment in the superhero megahit
The Avengers.
Disney said Tuesday that net income
in the rst three months of the year grew
21 percent even as it took a $200 million
loss on John Carter. Better perform-
ance from pay TV network ESPN and its
theme parks offset the studio problems.
The company now looks set to benet
from the Marvel movie franchise, whose
latest installment has reaped $702 mil-
lion from box ofces worldwide.
Merchandise related to the Marvel
movie was sold out in many locations
following its April 25 release overseas,
the company said. The movie shattered
U.S. opening weekend records after it
opened on Friday.
We are hard at work replenishing
stuff on our shelves, Chief Executive
Bob Iger said.
Disney bought Marvel for $4.24 bil-
lion in December 2009 as it sought to
build up its appeal with boys.
The company plans an Avengers
sequel sometime after the release of
Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 next year
and Captain America 2 in 2014. The
company has been working for a year to
develop Avengers attractions at theme
parks, although a prior arrangement with
Universal prevents such attractions at its
parks in Orlando, Fla., Iger said.
Disney looks to avenge studio loss after upbeat 2Q
LOSS AVENGING:
Disney reported adjusted second-quarter
earnings through March of 58 cents per
share, topping forecasts for 55 cents,
despite a $200 million loss on the movie
John Carter. ESPN and theme parks
performance overrode the studios
problems.
MOVIE MAGIC:
Disney is attempting to sprinkle pixie dust
on its megahit The Avengers. It plans a
sequel to follow next years Iron Man 3,
Thor 2and Captain American 2in 2014.
Theme park attractions are in the works.
STOCK GAINS:
Disney shares rose 1.9 percent to $45.12 in
after-hours trading.The stock is up about
20 percent since the beginning of the year.

Roche scraps hoped-for
cholesterol blockbuster
TRENTON, N.J. A second experi-
mental cholesterol medicine in a once-
promising class of drugs meant to
replace blockbusters such as Lipitor has
failed in testing, casting doubt on
whether any of the drugs will ever make
it to pharmacies.
Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG
said Monday it has halted testing of its
dalcetrapib, which the company had
hoped would become a blockbuster, with
eventual annual sales of more than $1
billion.
The drug was in expensive late-stage
patient testing as a treatment to raise
HDL, or so-called good cholesterol, in
heart disease patients.

When the seedings for the West Catholic
Athletic League baseball playoffs were
announced, Serra players and coaches knew one
thing for sure: the Padres were in for a dog-
ght.
They had drawn Bellarmine College Prep, a
WCAL rival and Central Coast Section power-
house.
It always is against those guys, said Serra
catcher Colin Theroux. We talked about that all
week, it was going to be a dogght. This whole
week is going to be. And were ready for that.
The Padres played like a team on a mission
Tuesday in the WCAL playoffs opener, defeat-
ing Bellarmine 5-3.
It was a grind, said Serra manager Craig
Giannino. Two good teams playing hard.
Going in, we knew it would be tough, said
Serra winning pitcher Thomas Cox. Playoff
baseball is always tough no matter who you
play. We knew it was a must-win game,
Bellarmine is a big rivalry. Our batters just
stayed with their approach and me, I had to
make pitches and let the defense do the rest.
The game had a little bit of everything you
would want in a high stakes environment
clutch hitting, big pitches and the occasional
controversy which stemmed from emotions
reaching a near boiling point.
At the end of the seven innings, it was the
Padres who were the most composed when the
situation was biggest. And that proved to be the
difference.
Serra jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second
inning when Michael Tinsley singled to right.
Antonio Freschet walked and Daniel Strupeni
followed with a sacrice bunt.

Both the Burlingame and Aragon softball
teams came into Tuesdays matchup knowing
they both needed to win their nal two games
of the season to have a shot at earning a
Central Coast Section playoff berth.
With two games remaining in the PAL sea-
son, both were 4-6 and battling for the fourth
spot in the Bay Division standings. The Bay
Division gets three automatic bids to CCS,
with the fourth-place team usually earning an
at-large berth.
A move made by Aragon coach Bill Laskey
midway through the season has paid off and it
paid off in a big way Tuesday as Brook
Ramsey, who was moved up to the No. 2 spot,
hit a bases-loaded triple in the fth and added
what turned out to be a game-winning grand
slam in the sixth as the Dons held off the
Panthers 8-7.
I moved her into the 2 hole and said youre
going to have to beat my three best hitters,
Laskey said of leadoff hitter Maureen Duddy,
Ramsey and Elena Bowman in the No. 3 spot.
Weve now won 7 of 9.
Ramseys big hits shocked the game into
overdrive. The rst several innings were a
pitching duel with Burlingame scratching out
an unearned run in the fourth for a 1-0 lead on
a Melissa Cristman RBI groundout.
In the bottom of the fth, however, the
games dynamics changed. Aragon scored
four runs to take a 4-1 lead, but Burlingame
came right back in the top of the sixth with
three runs to tie the game. Aragon went back
ahead on Ramseys grand slam to center in the
sixth and then the entire Aragon team and its
fans held its breath as the Panthers scored
three in the top of the seventh before the Dons
nally nished them off.
Two big clutch hits by them and not
enough by us, was how Burlingame coach
Brian Firenze described the game. But [my
team] battled. I couldnt be more proud.
Both coaches believed the offensive
onslaught late in the game was due in part to
the temperatures reaching 90 degrees on the
Dons hold off Panthers

No one knows her home pool quite like
Burlingames Naomi Thomas.
For four years, the UC San Diego-bound
swimmer has donned the Panther cap with
pride, won tons of races and broken more than
a handful of records as part of the Burlingame
girls swim team.
On Saturday, during the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division championships, Thomas
said good bye to her pool with a loving
embrace four to be exact.
Its weird that its almost over, Thomas
said of her high school career which culmi-
nates this weekend at the Central Coast
Section championships. I would hope that
Im a swimmer people are able to look up to
and people respect. I hope that I leave some-
thing good behind.
What Thomas will leave is a huge cap to ll
considering her performance at the PAL
championships.
Thomas won four events, two relays and
two individuals swims, breaking three PAL
records in the process. In doing so, she helped
the Panthers defend the PAL girls team title,
coming from behind to defeat Menlo-
Atherton High School.
Naomi is just very talented, said
Burlingame head coach Chris Culp. No mat-
ter where I need her to go, she can dominate
and do well. She has a lot of raw talent.
At the PAL championships, that raw talent
was good for wins in the 200-yard medley
relay, the 200-yard freestyle, the 100-yard
buttery and the 400-yard freestyle relay
or 40 of the Panthers 551 points.
For her efforts, Thomas is the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Thomas and the Panthers got the winning
started early in the rst girls varsity race, the
200 medley relay where Thomas, along with
Leah Goldman, Madison Gebhard and Kristen
Brennand, broke their own PAL record with a
time of 1:46.08. The win was just the start of
things to come for the senior they won that
race by 13 seconds.

There was only one given when the spring
sports season began for the College of San
Mateo the school would be hosting the
Northern California track and eld champi-

Between February and now, the baseball

to the Nor Cal tournament and both host a
super regional this weekend, along with the
track nals.
All are one step from reaching the state
tournament in Southern California next week-
end.

After beating Cabrillo in a winner-take-all
game Sunday afternoon, the second-ranked
Bulldogs are one of two Nor Cal teams host-
ing four-team super regionals. No. 3 Ohlone,
No. 6 Cosumnes River and No. 7 Diablo
Valley College join CSM for the double-elim-
ination tournament, the winner of which gets a
spot in the state nal four.
CSM takes on DVC 11 a.m. Friday, while
Ohlone faces Cosumnes River at 3 p.m. The
losers of those games will meet in an elimina-

CSM needed to play that deciding third

Hawks stay alive,
holding off Celtics 87-86
ATLANTA Al Horford scored 19 points
in his rst start since January, and the Atlanta
Hawks held on for an 87-86 victory over the
Boston Celtics in a thrilling Game 5 of the
Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday night.
The Celtics lead the series 3-2 heading back
to Boston for Game 6 on Thursday. If the
Hawks can steal one on the road, the deciding
game would be Saturday in Atlanta.
Boston had a chance to clinch the series
when Rajon Rondo stole Josh Smiths
inbounds pass with 10 seconds remaining and
raced down the court, looking for the winner.
But he got hemmed in along the sideline and
Smith knocked away a desperation pass, the
ball rolling away as time ran out.
A relieved Smith collapsed on the scorers
table.
Pacers beat Magic 105-87,
advance to second round
INDIANAPOLIS Danny Granger scored
25 points to help the Indiana Pacers defeat the
Orlando Magic 105-87 on Tuesday night and
clinch their rst-round Eastern Conference
series 4-1.
Darren Collison scored 15 of his 19 points
in the fourth quarter and George Hill added 15
points for the Pacers, who trailed by two at the
end of the third quarter but outscored the
Magic 36-16 in the nal 12 minutes.
It was Indianas rst series win since 2005
and its rst clincher on its home court since
the rst round of the 2000 playoffs. The
Pacers will play Miami or New York in the
second round.
Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 27 points
and made 5 of 8 3-pointers. Glen Davis, a
thorn in Indianas side throughout the series,
scored 15 but made just 6 of 17 shots. The
Magic made just 5 of 16 shots in the fourth
quarter.
Chicago downs 76ers 77-69
CHICAGO Luol Deng scored 24 points,
Carlos Boozer added 19 points and 13 rebounds,
and the Chicago Bulls beat the Philadelphia
76ers 77-69 on Tuesday night to avoid a rst-
round playoff exit.
The top-seeded Bulls nally won without
point guard Derrick Rose, building a nine-point
halftime lead and staying in control down the
stretch to pull within 3-2. Game 6 is Thursday in
Philadelphia.
Its been a brutal series for the Bulls, with Rose
tearing the ACL in his left knee late in the open-
er and center Joakim Noah spraining his left
ankle in Game 3. He sat out his second straight
game, but Chicago refused to bow out quietly.
Instead, the Bulls locked down the Sixers,
holding them to a season-low 32.1 percent shoot-
ing.
NBA playoff roundup
PHILADELPHIA Bryce Salvador,
David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk scored
goals to lift New Jersey to a 3-1 Game 5 win
over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night,
sending the Devils into the Eastern
Conference Finals for the rst time since
2003.
Martin Brodeur was strong in goal and has
the Devils back in position to win their fourth
Stanley Cup. The Devils await the winner of
the New York Rangers-Washington Capitals
series. The Devils rebounded this season
under coach Peter DeBoer after missing the
playoffs for the rst time since 1996 last sea-
son.
The sixth-seeded Devils scored twice in the
rst period and became the rst East team to
win four straight games in these playoffs.
Max Talbot scored for the Flyers, but
Philadelphia was eliminated in the conference
seminals for the second straight season. The
Flyers nished the season without suspended
All-Star forward Claude Giroux because of
his illegal check to the head on New Jersey
center Dainius Zubrus in Game 4.
The Flyers underwent a facelift last summer
that saw them trade team captain Mike
Richards to the Los Angeles Kings and
acquire goalie Ilya Bryzgalov from the
Phoenix Coyotes.
New Jersey
knocks out
Philadelphia
By Doug Ferguson
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Tiger
Woods is about the only person not in a panic
about his game.
These remain curious times for the guy try-
ing to show he can still dominate golf as he
once did. In his last four tournaments, Woods
walked off the course in the middle of the nal
round at Doral with tightness in his left
Achilles tendon, won by ve shots at Bay Hill
for his rst PGA Tour title in 30 months, was
an also-ran at the Masters with his worst per-
formance as a pro and missed the cut at Quail
Hollow for only the eighth time in his career.
In the absence of trophies, there is no short-
age of opinions.
Peter Alliss, the player-turned-broadcaster,
said before his induction into the World Golf
Hall of Fame that Woods is gone at the
moment. Nick Faldo, a six-time major cham-
pion who works for CBS Sports and Golf
Channel, said Woods no longer has the self-
belief that made him No. 1 for all those years.
Brandel Chamblee, a journeyman on the PGA
Tour and now an analyst for Golf Channel,
said Woods should re Sean Foley and call his
old coach, Butch Harmon.
And I know hell never do that because
hes letting his ego get in the way of common
sense, Chamblee said on a conference call for
The Players Championship, which starts
Thursday. He wants to prove to people hes
right. He would rather prove to people hes
right than be right.
Woods has been down this road, though not
with so many detours.
Guys, Ive done this before, Woods said.
Ive been through this. Actually, a lot of you
guys lived it with me, went through those
periods where I wasnt quite where I wanted
to be. I had some pretty good runs after that,
and this is no different. It takes a little bit of a
time, and I keep building and things eventual-
ly come around to where they feel natural and
efcient.
I think thats probably the most important
word, is that you get out there and you feel
efcient in what youre doing.
Woods shot back with subtlety at the TV
analysts.
I can understand that everyone has an
opinion, and hes entitled to his. But hes no
longer playing anymore, so, so be it, Woods
said of Chamblee, who won once in 380 starts
in his PGA Tour career.
As for Faldos comments on his self-belief?
I always nd it interesting since theyre not
in my head, Woods said. They must have
some kind of superpower I dont know about.
If he is looking for good vibes to turn his
fortunes, the TPC Sawgrass might not be the
best place.
No other course on his regular schedule has
given him more ts. Sure, Woods won in 2001
with that better than most 60-foot birdie

for that last game, said CSM manager Doug
Williams about his squad. Our team really
worked it to get that momentum back.
Team captain Bo Walter said no one pan-
icked despite the team getting blasted in
Game 2 of the three-game
series.
After that rst game,
we were still loose,
Walter said.
That second game is
usually a very pivotal
game, Williams said.
You can lose momentum.
It would have been a lot
different if we lost a close
game. I think there was a mentality in the
sixth or seventh inning (of the 14-3 loss)
where we felt, Lets just get this game over
and go on to the next game. We can take these
guys.
Walter said the Bulldogs pitching staff
helps take pressure off the offense because the
hitters know their pitchers will keep the game
close until the bats break lose. CSM has one
of the best 1-2 combinations left with Daniel
Chavez (1.22 ERA) and Clint Terry, who led
the state in ERA with a 0.78.
When you know you have a guy on the
mound who gives up one or two runs, it takes
pressure off the batters, Walter said.
Williams warned, however, teams will see
nothing but the best at this point of the season.
There is no team left that doesnt have
good pitching, Williams said. You have to
prepare to face the best.
Softball
The Lady Bulldogs are also the No. 2 seed
in Northern California and, by virtue of a two-
game sweep of American River, they too will
host a super regional, four-team tournament.
Joining CSM will be No. 3 Sierra, No. 6
Ohlone and No. 7 College of the Sequoias.
The Bulldogs split two games with both
Ohlone and Sierra, and beat COS this season.
Its nice to know what youre going up
against, said CSM coach Nicole Borg. If
you dont see with your own eyes, its tough to
prepare.
It doesnt matter (who is in the regional).
Youre going to play a bunch of good teams.
CSM had 10 days off from its season-end-
ing loss to Ohlone before beating Cabrillo 2-1
in the regional opener last Saturday. The
Bulldogs completed the sweep with its 20th
mercy-rule game of the year, winning 8-0.
Playoffs are tough, Borg said. You go 10
days without being in a live game situation.
For hitters, its tough to stay in it (the groove)
and stay hot.
Its a matter of who stays hot longer.
Track and field
CSM throwers Josh Uikilifi and Evan
McDaniel took a circuitous route to the Nor
Cal nals. Both sat out of the multiple track
seasons but have returned with a vengeance
this season.
Uikili graduated from Mills in 2008 and
had planned to participate in the throws at CSM
until life got in the way. Once he got that
straightened out, he excelled in both the shot
put and hammer.
I planned on doing track out of high school,
but things happened, Uikili said. This sum-
mer, I took it (track) seriously.
McDaniel was away from the sport even
longer. After qualifying for the Nevada state
championships out of Spanish Springs High
northeast of Reno, McDaniel went to
University of Nevada-Reno which does not
even have a track and eld program.
McDaniel earned his bachelors degree in
biology and moved to the Peninsula. CSM
coach Joe Mangan saw
him training at CSM one
day, found out he had col-
lege eligibility left and
convinced him to join the
team.
Its been a tremendous
nd for the Bulldogs, as
McDaniel qualied for the
nals in the shot put and
discus.
I started (my track
career) as a distance run-
ner. By my senior year, I
swung more to the throws,
McDaniel said. I was
much more technical in
discus. Now I rely on my
strength because I have
some.
Im much stronger
now. I was a skinny kid in
high school.
The 6-2, 225-pound McDaniel and Uikili
continue the long line of superior throwers who
have gone through CSM. Neither will admit
there will be any side action to see which of
them nishes ahead of the other, but they do
admit they feel the challenge from the other.
You do a lot better when have someone to
push you (in practice), Uikili said.

Tinsley. Dominic Orlando followed with a ball to
short that was bobbled, allowing Serras second
run to cross the plate.
Cox was solid to start the game. He threw three
hitless innings right out of chute, before running
into trouble in the fourth.
Ray led off with a long single and then the
Bells got two more hits and a elders choice tha
scored two runs. But Cox limited the damage.
It was real tough giving up those hits, Cox
said. I still had faith in my defense knowing that
if I made my pitch, if I threw strikes, wed get
outs. And eventually we did and ended up win-
ning.
Thomas competed out there, Gianinno said.
His poise and maturity on the mound is unwa-
vering. Hes the most even-keeled kid and just
handles himself with maturity. He kept us in it
and (we) played good catch behind him.
Serra score a huge run in the fth on a sacrice
y by Tinsley. A couple of pitches later with the
Padres still threatening, Conci hit a y ball to
right that Ray caught and gunned down Jordan
Parouback trying to score. Parouback had no
choice but to make contact with Bellarmine
catcher Jack Thoreson which angered the Bells
bench adding more fuel to the rivalry re.
Bellarmine used that emotion to score a run in
the sixth on an RBI single. But on that same play,
Serra got a huge out when Mickey McDonald
caught the relay throw near the third base bag and
caught a wandering Thoreson off the bag for a
gigantic out.
Probably just as big was Serras run in the
sixth, courtesy of Theroux who doubled to right
centereld.
They had been throwing me curveballs all
day, said the Serra catcher. I knew they had
success against me in my rst at-bats and they
werent going to go away from it. So, I sat curve-
ball and I drove it. Like Ive been saying, I knew
my team had faith in me to get that run in. I had
all the condence in the world out there.
Cox gave way to Blake Peters with a runner on
in the sixth. But for the most part, the left hander
was every bit the ace hes been over the second
half of Serras season.
Thomas is just ridiculous, Theroux said. He
hits his spots. He doesnt worry about striking
people out. Never shakes (me off). He trusts the
ngers Im putting down and does a great job.
Peters got the last six outs in the game.
Were playing good baseball, Gianinno said.
Once you get to this stage, everyone is pretty
good and done some things right to be here. So,
Im condent in our guys and I think they are. Its
a credit to them, staying in there through the
rough start.

It really set the stage and really got us going, Thomas said.
Our goal was to break our record but I had no idea we were
going to go that fast. So that really, right away, set the mood
for the meet. We kept it going. It was so fun and Im really
proud of the rest of the girls.
Thomas jumped right back into the pool for the 200 freestyle
race. Ironically enough, according to Culp, it was a race
Thomas was a little apprehensive about.
Ive always felt weird about the 200 free, Thomas said.
Im not very good at sprint freestyle and Im not very good at
distance freestyle so its that one race thats in the middle and
I dont know, Ive never really known how to swim in.
Not only did Thomas swim the race, she won it. And not
only did she win it, she set a new PAL record with a 1:52.58.
She hadnt really swam it all year, Culp said. It was just
the fact that we needed a strong person in it. So I asked if she
could do it and she got up for it. But she told me after that I
picked an event where she probably had the most anxiety
about. She did real well.
Thomas wasnt done. She hit the pool in probably her best
event, the 100 buttery. The senior won the 100 by almost four
seconds and just missed breaking her own PAL record (.16 sec-
onds off).
The 100 buttery has been her bread and butter for a long
time, Culp said. And I know she considers that her special-
ty.
Ive been stuck at that 55 [second] time range for a while
now, Thomas said. I think Im ready for a breakthrough in
that event. Having swam it pretty much every dual meet this
season, I feel that, when you do something a lot, you get into
the routine of it, you just swim it a certain way and so I think
CCS this year, Im going to go out faster than I usually do and
just try to hold on. Breaking the 55 mark would be huge for
me.
Thomas wrapped up her huge day alongside her relay-mates
in breaking the record in the 400 yard freestyle.
It denitely helps when you get along with your teammates
not only in the pool, but outside of it too. It just makes it that
much easier to want your teammates to do well. These are girls
youve spent swimming with the last four years. It just helps so
much when we get along as much as we do.
Thomas said the relays will be her focus as she closes out her
career at the CCS championships. Her 200 relay team is seed-
ed rst and could do something special. Thomas will race in
the 100 buttery and 100 breast.
The girls and I are really focused on our relays, Thomas
said. If we won (the 200) it would be a great way to end my

Clayton Kershaw and the San Francisco
Giants defeated the rst-place Los Angeles
Dodgers 2-1 Tuesday night, ending a streak of
12 straight winning decisions at home by the
reigning NL Cy Young winner.
Kershaw hadnt lost at home since April 16,
2011, against St. Louis. The Giants snapped
an 0-6 skid against the left-hander with their
rst win since Aug. 1, 2010.
Vogelsong (1-2) allowed one run and eight
hits in 7 1-3 innings. The right-hander walked
three and struck out one.
The Dodgers loaded the bases against
Vogelsong in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Pinch-hitter Bobby Abreu walked, Dee
Gordon reached on a bunt
single to Vogelsong, and
Mark Ellis had a sacrice
bunt. Vogelsong intention-
ally walked Matt Kemp
before turning it over to
Javier Lopez, who got
Andre Ethier to ground
into a double play one
of four the Giants defense
turned a night after com-
mitting three errors.
Lopez got the rst two outs in the ninth and
Santiago Casilla retired Juan Uribe for his
sixth save in seven attempts.
Kershaw (2-1) had his career-best 10-game
overall winning streak end. He gave up two
runs and ve hits in eight innings, struck out
seven and walked one.

Giants to beat Dodgers
By David Ginsburg
BALTIMORE Moments before he made
history with his nal swing in an incredible
four-homer performance, Josh Hamilton
stepped to the plate in the eighth inning with a
surprising sense of calm.
The Texas Rangers slugger had never before
hit more than two home runs in a game, and he
already had three. So as he took his place in
the batters box against Baltimore right-han-
der Darren ODay, Hamilton already had a
feeling of accomplishment.
I just went up like it was any other at-bat
because if I dont hit one, Hamilton reasoned,
Ive still had a really good night.
It turned out to be unforgettable.
Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four
home runs in a game, launching a quartet of
two-run drives against three different pitchers
to carry the Rangers to a 10-3 victory
Tuesday.
Hamilton homered off Jake Arrieta in the
rst and third innings, added another off Zach
Phillips in the seventh and topped it off with a
one-for-the-books shot against ODay. During
the last at-bat, Hamilton
took a mighty hack and
missed, lined a foul into
right-eld seats and then
sent an 0-2 pitch over the
center-eld wall.
Obviously its, other
than being in the World
Series, the highlight of my
big-league career,
Hamilton said. I was say-
ing after I hit two Ive never hit three in a
game before, and what a blessing that was.
Then to hit four is just an awesome feeling, to
see how excited my teammates got.
It reminds you of when youre in Little
League and a little kid, and just the excitement
and why we play the game. Things like that.
You never know what can happen. It was just
an absolute blessing.
Hamilton also doubled in the fth inning.
His 18 total bases is a new single-game
American League record, and his eight RBIs
are a career high.
Amazing, Rangers manager Ron
Washington said. Josh came out tonight, and
he wasnt going to be denied.
Hamilton goes deep four times

eld. Burlingame pitcher Megan Ailand held
Aragon to just two hits through the rst four
innings, but the Dons came up with 10 hits
over the nal two innings.
Aragon pitcher Lauren Matias was just as
tough, allowing one unearned run on three hits
through ve innings of work. The Panthers
added seven hits in the their nal two innings.
The sun got to some of the kids. It was hot,
Firenze said. Both pitchers battled, but they
both ran out of gas.
No one took bigger advantage of the effects
on pitching than Ramsey. After grounding into
a double play in the rst inning on four pitch-
es, Ramsey saw only four more pitches in her
next three at-bats, coming up with three hits,
including the game-changing triple and homer.
Im aggressive when I get up (to the plate),
Ramsey said. I was telling them (the rest of
the team), I dont want to go out as the girl
who struck out.
With Aragon trailing 1-0 in the fth, Lila
Dobroff came to the plate with two outs. She
singled. Kelly Black followed with a single
and Duddy reached rst when the Burlingame
shortstop bobbled her grounder. Ramsey fol-
lowed and, on a 0-1 count, smoked a line drive
to the fence in the right-center eld gap, clear-
ing the bases and giving Aragon a 3-1 lead.
Bowman followed with an RBI single and the
Dons had a seemingly comfortable 4-1 lead.
Burlingame responded with three runs in the
top of the sixth to tie the score. With the bases
loaded, Christman drove in her second run of
the game on another groundout and Dana
Lenardon came through with a two-run single
to tie the game at 4.
The Dons loaded the bases again in the bot-
tom of the frame and Ramsey delivered again,
taking the rst pitch she saw over the fence in
center eld.
It happened so fast even Ramsey wasnt sure
it was a grand slam.
I came back to dugout and asked, Was that
a grand slam? Ramsey said. I thought
someone was missing (on the bases).
Turns out Ramseys run was the game win-
ner as Burlingame did not go down without a
ght in its nal at-bat. The Panthers had ve
hits in the inning, with Nikki Lunghi, Kristin
Chaney and Natalie Saucedo each driving in a
run before the Dons recorded the nal out.
I think they (Burlingame) got the feeling
they needed to win this (game), too, Ramsey
said. We can still make the playoffs. We
denitely needed this game.
Capuchino 5, Carlmont 2
Aragons path to the playoffs got a little bit
tougher with the Mustangs win over the Scots.
Not only did Capuchino hand Carlmont its
rst PAL loss of the season, the Mustangs
clinched the PALs nal automatic berth with a
7-5 record and a third-place nish in the stand-
ings.
Capuchino has a bye on Thursday.
Thats what I told the girls today, We win
today, were in (the playoffs). If we lose, who
knows? said Capuchino coach Todd
Grammatico. Weve played pretty well of
late. Weve strung some wins together. Its
coming together at the right time.
The Mustangs were paced by Ariana
Wassmer, who drove in a pair of runs with a
solo home run in the second and drove in
another with an RBI triple during Capuchinos
four-run sixth.
Pitcher Gabby Tudery picked up the win
with a complete-game effort and appears to be
getting stronger late in the year as she rounds
into form after battling some back issues
throughout the season. She even drove in a run
offensively.
For a long time, it was touch and go (if we
were going to make the playoffs or not). I was
just trying to get to .500, Grammatico said.
A big part of the problem was with the pitch-
ing, but Gabby seems to be getting better.
DONS
By Ken Ritter
LAS VEGAS With a May 19 bout in Las
Vegas on the line, boxer Lamont Petersons
lawyer is telling Nevada boxing regulators the
champion ghters failed doping test in March
stemmed from an inadvertent failure to dis-
close medical treatment last November for
low testosterone levels.
In a letter obtained late Tuesday by the
Associated Press, Washington, D.C.-based
attorney Jeff Fried told the Nevada Athletic
Commission that Petersons doctor deter-
mined that a one-time therapeutic treatment
would not produce a signicant enhance-
ment of athletic performance.
Peterson, of Washington, defeated Amir
Khan in a disputed split decision in December
in the nations capital to become the WBA
and IBF junior welterweight champion.
Petersons scheduled rematch next week
with Khan in Las Vegas was in doubt after a
urine test in March found unacceptably high
levels of synthetic testosterone in Petersons
system, Athletic Commission executive Keith
Kizer said Tuesday.
Kizer said Peterson (30-1-1, with 15 KOs)
would have faced routine approval in the next
several days for the ght scheduled next week
at the Mandalay Bay resort. Now, it would be
up to the ve-member commission to hold a
special meeting to accept Petersons explana-
tion and grant a license for the Khan bout. The
panel isnt currently scheduled to meet until
May 21.
Lamont has never had a positive anti-dop-
ing test either before (or) after this isolated
occurrence, Fried said in the letter that
appears to apologize for the failed test but
doesnt specically seek a commission hear-
ing.
Fried didnt immediately respond to an
after-hours message seeking comment.
The letter cited the ndings of three doctors
and said more tests were scheduled
Wednesday.
Peterson should not be penalized by the
commission based on the facts as summarized
in this letter and within the medical corre-
spondence, Fried said.
Two tests of Peterson urine samples by the
Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping
Association reached the same nding, accord-
ing to a report Kizer said he received Monday
from Dr. Margaret Goodman, VADA chief
executive and a former ringside physician.
Unless theres some real obvious and legit-
imate reason for the positive test, hes not
ghting, Kizer told AP early Tuesday.

LOCAL/WORLD
City code makes it unlawful for anyone to
allow waste matter, garbage, sewerage, grass
clippings, paper, metal, wood or plastic
objects, oil or gasoline, ammable materials
or substances prohibited by the Municipal
Regional Stormwater Permit issued by the
state water board.
Trierweiler was told he had to stop rinsing
out his Recology bins in the driveway also.
City code, however, does not specically
say soapy water is prohibited from entering
the storm drains.
The city inspector cited an ordinance passed
in recent years related to a sewer rate increase
that prohibits allowing pollutants into storm
drains.
The inspector even offered Trierweiler a
coupon to take to a local carwash.
The whole matter has left Trierweiler
scratching his head.
I have made a conscious effort to use
biodegradable soap to minimize the effects on
the environment, Trierweiler said.
His family cannot afford to go to the car-
wash weekly, he said, and is shocked a jail
sentence can be the result of the activity.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach told the
Daily Journal she sees people washing their
cars in driveways all over Belmont and was
surprised to hear a jail sentence was possible.
No one should go to jail for washing their
cars. I didnt know it was prevented. Its not
clear. Its a weird one, Feierbach said about
city code.
The state nor regional water quality control
boards attach nes or penalties for the behav-
ior.
We try to discourage the behavior through
outreach, said Bruce Wolf, executive at the
San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Soapy water, he said, should
drain into lawns and not down the gutter.
On the flip side, we are not trying to be
water cops, Wolf said. In general, the
city employee was doing the right thing
but we are not telling people to call the
cops on their neighbors.
The Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agencys Art Jensen said there
is no broad effort in place to prevent people
from washing cars.
Theres no mandate on a regional basis,
said Jensen, BAWSCAs general manager.
Jensens comments are not necessarily
related to storm drain runoff, however, but
more toward water conservation.
Belmonts Public Works Director Afshin
Oskoui told the Daily Journal it is not unlaw-
ful to wash a car in a driveway but it is unlaw-
ful to allow the water to enter the citys storm
drain system.
The runoff goes directly in the storm sys-
tem, Oskoui said.
Oskoui said landscape buffer areas could
help keep polluted water out of the storm
drain system.
Storm water goes directly into area creeks
and ultimately feeds into the Bay.
The city needs to do make more outreach to
the community on the rules, Oskoui said.
Even hosing down the sidewalk could be
unlawful, he said.
But we are not actively chasing violators,
Oskoui said.
The Municipal Regional Stormwater
Permit, which covers nine counties in the Bay
Area, specically states, soaps and automo-
tive pollutants such as oil and metals can be
discharged into storm drains and waterbodies
from individual residential car washing activ-
ities. However, it is not feasible to prohibit
individual residential car washing because it
would require too much resources for permit-
tees to regulate the prohibition. This section of
the permit requires permittees to encourage
residents to implement best management
practices such as directing car washwaters to
landscaped areas, using as little detergent as
possible, and washing cars at commercial car
washing facilities.
Trierweiler nds Belmonts city code to be
a violation of his personal rights.
Im amazed that a law like this, that us cit-
izens did not vote on, can be upheld, he said.

roughly $40 million a year in operating
expenses. Sheriff Greg Munks and other
county ofcials are still keeping their ngers
crossed that up to $100 million in state con-
struction funds will come through but have
said chronic overcrowding and a dilapidated
womens facility mean they will build a new
jail facility regardless.
Munks yesterday said preparation of the
former Chemical Way site will start this
month with completion of the 260,000-
square-foot jail expected in 2015.
Both Munks and Adrienne Tissier, president
of the Board of Supervisors, said they were
pleased at the unanimous vote to award con-
tracts with Hellmuth Obata + Kassabaum for
architectural services and Sundt/Layton for
construction management services.
I rmly believe that San Mateo County
will have a model facility as well as programs
to better prepare inmates for successful reen-
try into our community, Tissier said.
Munks also emphasized the jail as a place
not just for local incarceration but also the
shift of state inmates through realignment and
programs and services. He also emphasized
his commitment to slash the recidivism rate.
Despite the jail plan continuing to move for-
ward, opposition to it remains.
The board chambers was lled yesterday
morning with members of several groups,
including the American Civil Liberties Union
which as been quite outspoken in its concerns
about a new facility.
Californians United for a Responsible
Budget, a group which has fought new jail
facilities statewide, also took aim at the plan,
citing opinion pieces in local newspapers, the
ACLUs published articles and a needs assess-
ment report by the Center on Juvenile and
Criminal Justice which recommended defer-
ring construction until alternatives were more
fully explored. The group, in particular, high-
lighted that a majority of adult arrests are
related to drugs and alcohol and suggested
services are a better x than incarceration.
The boards vote yesterday is failing its
residents and push[ing]the county into further
crisis, San Mateo resident Manual La
Fontaine said in a prepared statement prior to
the meeting.

JAIL
By Bassem Mroue and John Heilprin
DAMASCUS, Syria International envoy
Ko Annan gave a bleak assessment of the cri-
sis in Syria on Tuesday, saying violence remains
at unacceptable levels and warning that his
peace plan is the countrys last chance to avert a
disastrous civil war.
Annan insisted there is still hope and said the
presence of U.N. observers has had a calming
effect on the crisis, which has killed at least
9,000 people since March 2011.
There is a profound concern that the country
could otherwise descend into full civil war and
the implications of that are frightening, Annan
told reporters in Geneva after brieng a closed-
door session of the U.N. Security Council in
New York by videoconference. The observation
mission, he said, is the only remaining chance
to stabilize the country.
Syria has become one of the bloodiest con-
icts of the Arab Spring, and world powers have
been unable to stop the violence. Syrian
President Bashar Assad still has a rm grip on
power, and his regime portrays his opponents as
terrorists out to weaken the country.
Although the death toll mounts daily, the U.N.
has ruled out any military intervention of the
type that helped bring down Libyas Moammar
Gadha, in part out of fears that it could make
the conict worse. Syria is an important geopo-
litical linchpin with a web of allegiances to pow-
erful forces, including Lebanons Hezbollah and
close ally Iran.
Annan said a civil war in Syria would bleed
outside its borders.
It will not affect only Syria, he said. It will
have an impact on the whole region and this is
why we should all be so concerned for the
Syrians, for Syria, and for a region that for
geopolitical reasons we should all be concerned
about.
Annan has led diplomatic efforts to nd a
political solution to the crisis, promoting a plan
that calls for a truce monitored by observers to
lead the way to negotiations for a resolution. But
his efforts have been troubled from the start. A
truce that was to begin on April 12 has never
really taken hold. About 60 U.N. observers are
currently in Syria and Annan said Tuesday that
a full deployment of 300 should be on the
ground by the end of the month.
He said even the small number of observers
have had an effect so far.
Weve been small in numbers, but even
where weve been able to place two or three
observers, theyve had a calming effect, he said.
And I think that when they are fully deployed
and working as a team, establishing relations
with the people, we will see much greater
impact on the work that they are there to do.
On Tuesday, a cargo jet arrived in Damascus
carrying 15 SUVs, computers and telecommu-
nications equipment for the observers, a U.N.
ofcial said, speaking on condition of anonymi-
ty because he was not authorized to talk to the
media.

FOOD 19
By J.M. Hirsch
NEW YORK Compost, crack
and something called cereal milk
unlikely ingredients that have propelled
Christina Tosi to the head of her culinary
class.
The protege and dessert maven of uber
chef-of-the-moment David Chang was
named rising star chef of the year on
Monday by the James Beard
Foundation, an honor earned largely by
her knack for crafting unusual sweet
treats including soft serve ice cream
made from milk avored by breakfast
cereal and the almost fanatical fol-
lowing they have generated.
But garnering one of the so-called
Oscars of the food world one of more
than 20 awarded Monday didnt
change Tosis sense of the simplicity of
what she does.
For me, its just about creating things
that we feel really attached to, Tosi said
during the 25th annual Beard
Foundation awards. The style that we
do it is nding a avor, a texture that we
feel attached to and giving it back in a
way that we think is cute or playful or
approachable and at the end of it of
course its delicious and you want to
come back for it.
And thats where we begin and we
end with it, she said.
Tosi oversees desserts, breads and ice
cream for Changs Momofuku restaurant
group, and is best known as the woman
behind his Momofuku Milk Bar. Thats
where you can nd her so-called com-
post cookies, oversized treats rich with
coffee grounds, potato chips and pret-
zels, and her sticky-salty-sweet crack
pie, which is as addictive as its name
implies.
The James Beard awards honor those
who follow in the footsteps of Beard,
considered the dean of American cook-
ing when he died in 1985. Mondays cer-
emony honored chefs and restaurants; a
similar event on Friday was held for
book and other media awards.
The foundations outstanding chef
award went to Daniel Humm, the chef
behind New Yorks Eleven Madison
Park. Humm, a native of Switzerland,
has spent his career amassing awards.
Most recently, his restaurant which
has four stars from the New York Times
and three from the Michelin Guide
was named No. 10 in the world by
Restaurant magazine.
Though Eleven Madison Park a
veteran of several Beard awards over the
years has earned high praise since it
opened in 1998, most consider it to have
shined brightest since 2006, when
Humm took over the kitchen, bringing
with him an inventive, yet classically
French style.
Eleven Madison Park is best known
for its tasting-style menu that lists dish-
es only by key ingredients and encour-
ages diners to work with the chef to cre-
ate individualized meals.
Humm beat out Chang, Gary Danko of
Restaurant Gary Danko in San
Francisco, Paul Kahan in Chicago,
Donald Link of Herbsaint in New
Orleans, and Nancy Silverton of Pizzeria
Mozza in Los Angeles. Last years win-
ner was Jose Andres, the man credited
with popularizing tapas in the United
States.
Boulevard restaurant in San Francisco
was named outstanding restaurant of the
year. Opened by chef Nancy Oakes on
the San Francisco waterfront in 1993,
Boulevards cuisine blends regional
American cooking with French style.
Last years outstanding restaurant honor
went to Eleven Madison Park.
The best new restaurant award went to
Grant Achatzs second and wildly dif-
ferent Chicago restaurant, Next,
which has come to be dened as much
by the food served there as by the way it
handles reservations (if you can call
them that).
You dont reserve tables at Next, you
purchase tickets, much as you would for
a concert. Diners pay in advance for a
seating at a particular time. What they
are served varies, as the notoriously
modernist Achatz changes the menu
every three months. Last year, the best
new restaurant honor went to Jean-
Georges Vongerichtens ABC Kitchen in
New York.
The groups Lifetime Achievement
award this year went to Wolfgang Puck,
the pioneer of California cuisine whose
menu for the annual Academy Awards
Governors Ball is almost as eagerly
anticipated as the awards themselves.
Puck has won multiple honors from the
foundation over the years and is the only
chef to have twice received its Most
Outstanding Chef award.
Puck, whose cooking combines clas-
sic French technique with a focus on
seasonal and local ingredients, has been
an iconic voice in California cuisine.
Born in Austria, he moved to Los
Angeles in 1975. In 1982, he opened
Spago, the restaurant for which he
remains best known. Today, he has 20
restaurants around the country.
The organizations Humanitarian of
the Year honor went to Chicago chef
Charlie Trotter, who earlier this year
Tosi named risingstar chef by Beards

MONTPELIER, Vt. A committed loca-
vore, Robin McDermott once struggled to
stock her kitchen with food grown within 100
miles of her Vermont home. She once drove
70 miles to buy beans and ordered a bulk ship-
ment of oats from the neighboring Canadian
province of Quebec.
Six years later, she doesnt travel far: She
can buy chickens at the farmers market, local
farms grow a wider range of produce, and her
grocery store stocks meat, cheese and even
our produced in the area. A bakery in a near-
by town sells bread made from Vermont
grains, and shes found a place to buy locally
made sunower oil.
Nationwide, small farms, farmers markets
and specialty food makers are popping up and
thriving as more people seek locally produced
foods. More than half of consumers now say
its more important to buy local than organic,
according to market research rm Mintel, and
Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen
Merrigan called the local food movement the
biggest retail food trend in my adult lifetime.
But with no ofcial denition for what
makes a food local, the government cant
track sales. And consumers dont always
know what they are buying. A supermarket
tomato labeled local may have come from
10, 100 or more miles away.
Strict locavores stick to food raised within a
certain radius of their home 50, 100 or 250
miles. Others may allow themselves dried
spices, coffee or chocolate.
I dont treat it as a religion, said Valerie
Taylor, of Montgomery, Ohio, who tries to eat
locally when she can but wont go without a
salad in the winter or an avocado if she wants
it. She estimated 95 percent of the meat and
70 percent of the produce she eats is local in
the summer, but not in the winter.
McDermott has eased up after eating
locally during a Vermont winter,
which meant a lot of meat and
root vegetables. She now allows
herself olive oil and citrus and in
winter, greens.
In 2006, I felt like a
Vermonter of years past, she
said. You know, I was going down into my
root cellar and saying, I guess it will be pota-
toes again.
Two of the more common standards used by
locavores are food produced within 100 miles
or within the same state that its consumed. A
new locavore index ranked Vermont as the top
state in its commitment to raising and eating
locally grown food based on the number of

Massaging poultry, dropping food and
utensils, and warbling her way through
boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin, Julia
Child left an indelible mark on American
food.
As televisions towering, ebullient
French Chef, Child put within reach of
the average American a cuisine most had
only heard about. Using fresh ingredients
and copious amounts of wine, she
changed the way we thought about food,
demystifying it and placing it rmly at the
center of a joyous life.
But as we approach her 100th birthday,
coming August 15, whats less obvious is
how Child also revolutionized the way
women saw cooking and themselves.
Julia turned women on to the beauty of
making a wonderful meal for the family,
not just scraping something together,
says Bob Spitz, author of the forthcoming
Child biography Dearie (Knopf, August
2012).
She let women who watched her feel
that they would be heard, that they could
do anything she could do, he said. She
wanted women to be proud of what they
did. That was so important to her. That
pride. She had found it. And she wanted
others to nd it, too.
Child didnt come from pride. Wealth,
yes, but pride took longer.
Raised in Pasadena the eldest child of a
prosperous land manager and a paper-
company heiress, Child went to Smith
College where she partied more than stud-
ied and aspired to get married. After col-
lege and a series of uninspiring jobs, she
joined the Ofce of Strategic Services, the
precursor to the Central Intelligence
Agency, and was sent to Ceylon, now Sri
Lanka. It wasnt until she married Paul
Child, an artist and diplomat, and moved
to Paris that she found herself.
In France, she studied at Le Cordon
Bleu culinary school, then began work on
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
with two French colleagues. It was a
game-changing cookbook that, unlike its
predecessors, outlined every step of a
recipe.
That was a bold change for the
American palate in 1961, an era in thrall
to the convenience food industry.
It was a time when a constant drumbeat
of advertising and what passed for food
journalism told women they had no time
to cook, says Laura Shapiro, a culinary
historian and author of Julia Child: A
Life. Women were being told they need-
ed canned fruit, frozen vegetables, cake
mixes and TV dinners. The fresh food
available in supermarkets was segregated,
wrapped in plastic and untouchable. The
cookbooks of the period reected this.
The whole trend was to make it fast
and easy, and what they considered easy
was almost a quick summary of what you
did boil the beef for an hour and a half
in a cup of wine and water and thats
boeuf bourguignon, says Judith Jones,
the book editor who rescued Mastering
the Art after it suffered multiple rejec-
tions from a publisher who wanted it
revised to include packaged goods and
fewer steps. Julia made the distinction
between the home cook just cooking, put-
ting it on the table, and cooking with
nesse, tasting and understanding what
she was doing. She believed that thats
where the joy came.
It was a time of social and particu-
larly gender upheaval in America: The
birth control pill was introduced, sexual
mores were changing, women were work-
ing. Americans were making money, buy-
ing houses, supporting the growth of
lifestyle magazines, including Gourmet.
And anything French was in fashion.
The Kennedys and their French chef
were in the White House. Jackie wore
Chanel and Dior. She spoke uent French.
French food such as coquilles St. Jacques
and quiche already had made it into mid-
dle class homes, Shapiro says, and there
were even some French cookbooks
around. Soldiers had returned from
Europe more worldly and the advent of
inexpensive airline travel meant more
Americans were seeing foreign lands.
Then Mastering arrived on the scene.
People were waiting for that book,
Shapiro says.
Yet it got off to a slow start, Jones says.
It was helped by a swooning review from
New York Times food editor Craig
Claiborne, but it was when Child got on
television that her appeal and message
nally saturated the culture.
The French Chef began airing in
1963, the same year that Betty Friedans
feminist tract The Feminine Mystique
was released, and the underlying mes-
sages were strangely similar.
It was to take your life in your own
hands, Shapiro says. You have a home
and a family, if youre going to cook, get
your hands in the food and do something
good. You dont have to hand this over.
Betty Friedans big message was stand up
and take charge of your life, its yours.
And Julia said the exact same thing about
food and about the meals you feed your
family.
Even as food television progressed into
the modern era, with skinny young things
chopping and churning, and sass some-
times more important than substance,
Child, who died in 2004 two days short of
her 92nd birthday, kept her message con-
stant. During an appearance on Martha
Stewarts Christmas show, Child and her
host both made croque-en-bouche, a tradi-
tional French pastry shaped like a
Christmas tree.
The one Martha made looked like
shed collaborated with Euclid, says
Geoffrey Drummond, who was Childs
executive producer throughout the 1990s.
Julias looked like the leaning tower of
croque-en-bouche. I didnt think about it
at the time. Julia could make a perfect
croque-en-bouche. But she wanted to
show that it didnt have to be.
Child was an outspoken champion of
womens causes. She did dozens of
fundraisers for Planned Parenthood, and
when she underwent a mastectomy in
1968 she was open and public about it,
helping to dispel stigma of breast cancer.
In the cooking world, she made it her
mission to get women into professional
kitchens. She famously took on the
Culinary Institute of America, berating the
institution for not enrolling enough
women, and she regularly kept tabs on the
progress of women in the industry.
Julia always considered herself a fem-
inist. Always. But not in a fundamentalist
sort of way, says biographer Spitz, whose
book will cap what is being called the
JC100, a 100-day celebration of Childs
life that includes celebrity-hosted dinners,
blogger tributes, readings and other events
around the country. When she got to the
states and ate in restaurants, she would
march into the kitchen and say, How
many women are in here? She would tell
the great chefs, You need more women
here.
Julia Child, a legacy of teaching the joy of food
Julia Child was an outspoken champion of womens causes.She
did dozens of fundraisers for Planned Parenthood, and when
she underwent a mastectomy in 1968 she was open and public
about it, helping to dispel stigma of breast cancer.
Julia turned women on to the
beauty of making a wonderful meal for the
family, not just scraping something together.

BEARD
farmers markets and community supported
agriculture farms, where customers pay a
lump sum up front and receive weekly deliv-
eries of produce and other foods.
Vermont has 99 farmers markets and 164
CSAs, with a population of fewer than
622,000, according to the 2012 Strolling of
the Heifers Locavore Index, which relies on
U.S. Department of Agriculture and census
figures. Iowa, Montana, Maine and Hawaii
rounded out the top five.
But the bottom of the index raises ques-
tions. Florida, which produces much of the
nations citrus, strawberries and tomatoes,
was in the bottom five with only 146 farmers
markets and 193 CSAs for 18.5 million peo-
ple.
The whole purpose of this is really to
stimulate the conversation about locavorism,
which fits into the mission of Strolling of the
Heifers, said Martin Cohn, a spokesman for
the group, which works to save farms in New
England.
USDA spokesman Aaron Lavallee said the
definition of local varies from state to state
and region to region depending on the sea-
son. In small New England states, food from
100 miles away could be from another state,
while food could travel hundreds of miles in
Texas or Montana and still be within the bor-
ders.
In cases where produce is labeled local,
with no point of origin, he advised con-
sumers to ask sellers where it was raised.
The locavore movement grew out of con-
sumer concerns about how and where food is
produced, following episodes of contamina-
tion in spinach, meat and other foods. People
committed to it buy locally produced foods
to support farmers, because the food is fresh-
er and to reduce the environmental effect of
trucking it across country.
But theres more to it, said Jessica
Prentice, a San Francisco Bay-area chef who
coined the term locavore.
Really what its about is moving into a
kind of food system where youre connected
to the source of your food, Prentice said.
Youre buying from people that you know
or can meet and youre buying food grown in
a place that you can easily drive to and see.
This is more about creating an oasis real-
ly in the context of a globalized food system
thats completely anonymous, she said.
But James McWilliams, a Texas State
University professor who has written a book
critiquing the local food movement, said
people often think it solves more problems
than it does.
Theres this sense that because a food is
local theres automatically nothing wrong
with it, and the fact is even on a local level
certain foods are more energy intensive to
produce than others, said McWilliams, who
is a vegan. Specifically, animal-based prod-
ucts, even on a local level, while they may be
more efficient, pound for pound are still sig-
nificantly more energy intensive to produce
than plant-based products.
The local food movement also doesnt
address problems with agriculture on a glob-
al scale or the expected increase in demand
for food over the next 40 to 50 years, he said.
I guess the pragmatic side of me thinks
well, these locavore values are great and
they work really well in places such as
Vermont, but they dont work everywhere,
he said. And its not a universally shared
ethic.
The locavore movement has helped create
jobs, particularly in rural areas hard hit by
the recession, Merrigan said. Orly Munzing,
executive director of Strolling of the Heifers,
said it also builds community. She has seen
its benefits in Brattleboro, Vt., where her
group hosts a popular annual parade inspired
by Spains running of the bulls, and also at a
farmers market in New York City.
Its amazing to see these people Ive
watched walking on Second Avenue ... they
dont even say hello to each other, she said.
But I see the same people at that little farm-
ers market, all of a sudden they turn into dif-
ferent people. So it creates a community that
is very needed.
McDermott said being a locavore has
changed how she and her husband eat. They
used to have steak often; now its only once
a year. She grows garlic, onions, potatoes
and carrots and freezes large amounts of
tomatoes each year.
While local foods tend to cost more than
those mass produced, McDermott figures
she still spends less. She and her husband
buy half a pig with a friend each year and
use most of the animal. They eat lesser cuts,
making stews and braising meat to make it
tender.
We eat low on the hog, she said.
LOCAL
By Candice Choi
NEW YORK Chocolate dog food. Old
garden hose. Weirdly shy.
Take a panel of seven foodies and ply them
with with exotic versions of popular
American snacks from around the world, and
these are the reactions you get. Tentative nib-
bles and scrunched noses.
The taste testers gathered recently at the
headquarters of the Associated Press in New
York and represented varying levels of culi-
nary pedigree.
They included food bloggers, famed
French pastry chef Jacques Torres and
Marilyn Haggerty, an 85-year-old North
Dakota newspaper columnist whose high
praise of the Olive Garden went viral earlier
this year. A New York fourth-grader and self-
proclaimed junk food aficionado rounded out
the group.
The spread of international snacks didnt
consist of any barbecue-avored Lays chips
or black-and-white Oreo cookies. Instead, the
menu included Forest Mushroom and
Grilled Meat Lays from Russia, fruity
Oreos from China and lemon-peppered a-
vored Tang drink from Saudi Arabia. The
reactions were mixed.
Haggerty, who says she never met a potato
chip she didnt like, struggled to nd some-
thing nice to say about the Lays from Russia.
She thought that the Pickled Cucumber
chips tasted like an old garden hose. Her
verdict on the Red Caviar chips was a tad
more positive.
If I didnt have anything else Id like
these, Haggerty said, noting a weirdly shy
after taste. She took several more bites just to
make sure.
Meanwhile, Alyssa Shelasky, a New York
magazine food blogger, declared the Crab
chips to be food poisoning.
Pastry king Torres gave his seal of approval
to the Forest Mushroom chips, which got
the best reviews overall.
It actually smells like mushroom and it
tastes a little bit like mushroom, Torres said.
Its surprising.
Torres also noted that avors like Grilled
Meat and Red Caviar were cooked up
specically for Russians, whose tastes differ
dramatically from Americans. So to better
gauge the authenticity, he suggested that the
AP provide real caviar the next time around
for comparisons sake.
As for the sweeter treats, everyone thought
the chocolate, cream-filled Cheetos from
Russia would do well with kids around the
globe. The chocolate-smeared mouth of
fourth-grader Bob Marley Jones showed that
he agreed.
So did Jeff Novich, a 32-year-old junk food
lover whose culinary resume includes acting
as a body double for TV chef Bobby Flay.
Novich thought that the chocolate Cheetos
tasted like Cookie Crisp cereal. But Shelasky,
the magazine blogger, thought they could
pass for doggie treats.
Most of the fruit-avored Oreos from Asia
were a bit too bizarre for the taste testers.
Clay Williams, who writes for the blog
MidtownLunch.com, said flavors such as
Raspberry-Blueberry and Mango-Orange
came across as too fake and processed.
People who love Oreos want the purity of
an Oreo, Shelasky agreed. Purists love
Oreos because theyre not complicated. Its
black, its white and you dip it in milk. It
always tastes the same for your entire life.
When it came to Tang, panelists were at
first skeptical about exotic flavors like
Lemon-Pepper from Saudi Arabia. But they
were relieved when they didnt detect any
pepper after a couple sips. Everyone agreed
that it tasted like lemonade, so much so that
they thought the avor could do well in the
United States with one little tweak.
Could meat chips be
popular in the U.S.?
Marilyn Haggerty, whose high praise of the
Olive Garden went viral earlier this year,

the Lays from Russia.
WORLD 23
By Nicholas Paphitis
ATHENS, Greece The smol-
dering debate over European auster-
ity ared hotter Tuesday as the left-
wing politician trying to form a new
Greek government declared that his
country is no longer bound by its
pledges to impose crippling cut-
backs in return for rescue loans.
The comments by Alexis Tsipras
ew in the face of EU leaders insis-
tence on scal discipline and sent
the Greek stock market tumbling
just two days after Greek voters
rejected mainstream pro-austerity
politicians. Instead, the people
backed a hodgepodge of parties
from the Stalinist left to the neo-
Nazi right but produced no clear
winner in parliament.
Tsipras also demanded an exami-
nation of Greeces still-massive
debt and a moratorium on repay-
ment of the part of it that is oner-
ous, statements that rattled
investors and drove Greek shares
down another 3.6 percent on top of
Mondays nearly 7-percent loss.
Markets in France, Italy, Germany
and the U.S. also fell.
The pro-bailout parties no
longer have a majority in parlia-
ment to vote in destructive meas-
ures for the Greek people, said the
38-year-old Tsipras, whose anti-
austerity Radical Left Coalition
party came second in Sundays
vote. The popular mandate clearly
renders the bailout agreement
invalid.
Tsipras is the second Greek party
leader in as many days to try to
form a government. If no coalition
can be found, elections will be held
in a month, with the political insta-
bility boding ill for Greeces hopes
of staying solvent and within the
17-nation eurozone.
Moving to stomp out signs of
increasing discontent in crisis-
stricken countries, the European
Union and Germany the biggest
contributor to the EUs crisis fund
urged members Tuesday to stick
to their agreed budget cuts.
The end of the debt policy has
been agreed in Europe. It has to stay
that way, said German Foreign
Minister Guido Westerwelle.
European Commission President
Jose Manuel Barroso stressed that
member states must implement their
promised spending cuts and tax
increases.
Both offered the consolation of
new efforts to revive struggling
economies. EU President Herman
Van Rompuy called for an informal
summit of the EUs 27 leaders on
May 23 to discuss economic growth
and to prepare for a summit in June
focused on job creation.
Tsiprass party came in second
Sunday, winning 52 of parliaments
300 seats with 16.8 percent of the
vote. He has the presidential man-
date to end the political impasse by
forming a governing coalition by
Thursday.
Antonis Samaras, head of the
winning conservative party that has
108 seats, gave up on the same task
after just a few hours Monday when
Tsipras spurned his advances.
Tsipras said his government-
building drive would focus on end-
ing the loan agreements of sub-
servience with Greeces interna-
tional bailout creditors.
Greece has depended on rescue
loans from its European partners
and the International Monetary
Fund since May 2010, after decades
of profligate state spending and
poor nancial management priced it
out of money-lending markets.
To secure the bailouts, Athens
took a hatchet to pensions,
salaries, health care and pretty
much everything else, while
repeatedly raising taxes. But more
than two years of austerity have
left the economy deep in recession
and unemployment at a record
high 21 percent.
Tsipras urged Samaras and third-
placed Socialist leader Evangelos
Venizelos to renege on their support
for the bailout commitments, asking
them to honestly repent for their
disastrous choices that tore our soci-
ety apart.
Greece has promised to pass new
austerity measures worth (euro)
14.5 billion ($18.9 billion) next
month and to implement other swift
reforms. These will promptly be
reviewed by its creditors, who will
then decide whether to release or
withhold the next batch of bailout
funds.
But Samaras quickly blasted
Tsipras proposal as unbelievably
arrogant, warning it would drag
the country into chaos and see it
expelled from the eurozone.
Mr. Tsipras is doing everything
to prevent a government being
formed, Samaras said. Nothing
can be done if we leave the euro,
because the countrys catastrophe
would be certain and unprecedent-
ed.
He added: He is asking me to
place my signature on the destruc-
tion of Greece. And that I will not
do.
Analysts agreed that Tsipras was
wading into dangerous waters.
Athanasios Vamvakidis, a strate-
gist at Bank of America Merrill
Lynch, said Greeces rescue credi-
tors are unlikely to agree easily to a
renegotiation of the two bailout pro-
grams worth (euro) 240 billion
($312 billion).
Left-wing leader rejects Greekausterity pledge
By Karl Ritter
Elections in France and Greece
reect the anger and disillusion-
ment coming to the surface across
Europe as a celebrated way of life
that people have long enjoyed
and even taken for granted
comes under pressure in these times
of crisis. Though the situation
varies from north to south, Europe
is undergoing profound change
from its sophisticated lifestyle to its
cherished welfare benets and a
sense among many Europeans of
being the worlds elite.
These are some of the ways you
can see Europe grappling with
change:
THE WELFARE STATE: Six-
week paid vacations. Retirement in
your early 60s. Generous benets
for the sick and unemployed. The
cradle-to-grave welfare system that
was a pillar of European life for
decades is being scaled back from
one austerity package to another.
Retirement ages are being raised
past 65 in many countries. The
Swedish prime minister even toyed
with the idea of making people
work until 75. Europeans are not
about to give up on their fabled
social model, but they can expect a
slimmed-down version in the
future. I dont think the social wel-
fare system is being dismantled,
says Rebecca Adler-Nissen, assis-
tant professor at the University of
Copenhagens Center for European
Politics. Its more about what we
can afford in the future.
LIFESTYLE: Bon-vivants or
loafers? When it comes to work-life
balance, Europeans either got it
totally right or lost their minds
completely, depending on whom
you ask. But economic realities are
now forcing the most stressed
countries to question some deeply
ingrained habits. Long lunches are
on the wane across the continent.
Spain is considering a change that
takes aim at the habit of employees
turning up for work and immediate-
ly going down to the closest coffee
shop for a half-hour or more break-
fast. Another sacred cow being tar-
geted is the habit of making a long
weekend out of it when a holiday
falls on a Thursday, by taking off
the Friday as well. In Ireland, the
crisis has had an impact on leg-
endary pub traditions. The Irish
increasingly socialize at home,
avoiding pubs where beer and other
drink prices are several times high-
er than whats offered by the
German discount supermarkets
now proliferating in Ireland.
POLITICAL EXTREMES:
The National Front in France.
Golden Dawn in Greece. The
Freedom Party of the Netherlands.
The True Finns. Across Western
Europe, and in parts of the East, the
far-right is on the march. Europe
has deep traditions of tolerance and
pluralism with roots in the 18th
century Enlightenment. But
European history also offers the
most extreme examples of racist
nationalism. While outright Nazis
are a tiny minority in Europe today,
the economic crisis has fueled
forces on the right opposed to
immigrants and the very idea of
European integration. On the other
end of the spectrum, left-wing par-
ties who see the European Union as
a capitalist superstate suppressing
the working classes have made
gains in France, Spain, Greece and
Denmark, among other countries.
EUROPE IN THE WORLD:
The world still admires French art,
Italian food and Spanish soccer.
But in the global economy, sluggish
Europe is looking less attractive
when compared to fast-growing
emerging economies such as China,
India and Brazil. Thats a blow to
the ego of a continent accustomed
to seeing itself as having a central
place in history. The European
Unions seemingly endless debt cri-
sis has seriously damaged con-
dence in its common currency proj-
ect. Bickering between nations has
also tarnished Europes self-image
as a role model of how nations can
come together to build peace and
prosperity.

JERUSALEM Now backed by
a parliamentary supermajority,
Benjamin Netanyahu has tremen-
dous room to maneuver on Israels
most pressing issues: peace with the
Palestinians, possible war with Iran,
and the growing rift at home between
religious and secular Jews.
The stunning partnership with the
opposition Kadima party, announced
overnight Tuesday just as the nation
was expecting him to call early elec-
tions, means the premier if he so
desires can compromise with the
Palestinians without being brought
down by hard-line nationalists who
had controlled his fate.
A broad national unity govern-
ment is good for security, good for
the economy, good for the people of
Israel, Netanyahu declared at a
news conference with Kadima leader
Shaul Mofaz, his new deputy prime
minister.
With his coalition divided over a
urry of domestic issues, Netanyahu
had declared in recent days that he
would hold a parliamentary election
in September, more than a year
ahead of schedule. But as parliament
convened late Monday to move
toward elections, he and Mofaz were
secretly wrapping up their power-
sharing deal. Israelis were stunned to
wake up Tuesday to a new political
reality.
Netanyahu now heads a 94-mem-
ber coalition, one of the broadest
alliances in the 120-seat parliament
in Israeli history putting him in a
strong position to push forward with
new initiatives.
While Netanyahu emerges as a
winner in that sense, the outcome is
also a life raft for Mofaz. Netanyahu
had been widely expected to win the
election by securing a majority of
seats for his Likud and the religious
and nationalist parties that are its nat-
ural but pesky allies. The
opposition center-left bloc was
behind in the polls and appeared
headed toward splintering into sever-
al medium-sized parties to boot.
For Israelis who felt alienated by
the Netanyahu government and
they were legion among the coun-
trys various elites there is now
the prospect of a more moderate
leadership no longer dependent on
the extreme right.

death.
He was so gracious over the phone,
Speier said. He was really a great
American and made some great contri-
butions to the community.
San Mateo Councilman Jack
Matthews worked alongside Lee for
eight years on the City Council.
He spent his last moments with fel-
low veterans, where he wanted to be,
Matthews said.
Matthews characterized Lee as strong-
minded and responsive to the communi-
ty.
He believed strongly you can dis-
agree but you dont have to be disagree-
able, Matthews said.
Both men were up for re-election to
the council in the same years.
After the rst election I would needle
him because I got 90 more votes than he
did. In the next election, he got 400 more
votes than I did but he never said a word.
I could tell, though, it meant something
to him, Matthews said.
He was not afraid to stand up to oppo-
nents of the council, he said.
He would discuss any issue with any-
one. After council meetings he would
engage those who disagreed with the
council while my inclination was to go
hide in the ofce. He was kind of fear-
less in that way, Matthews said.
Belmont Councilwoman Coralin
Feierbach called Lee a true patriot.
While on the San Mateo council, Lee
was instrumental in keeping the citys
relationship strong with its adopted sons
of the 101st Airborne. Over Memorial
Day weekend, the city plans three days
of activities to honor the 101st, some-
thing Lee looked forward to participat-
ing in, his family said.
While Lee was a noted patriot,
Feierbach said the two were hardly ever
on the same page.
We never agreed on anything, she
said.
Lee served 12 years on the City
Council beginning in 1999 when he
replaced Jerry Hill who was elected to
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors. He retired from the council
last year due to term limits after serving
as mayor three times. His time on the
council was marked by significant
change and sometimes controversy
whether it be the citys decision to build
the new downtown theater and get rid of
penny parking meters to the decision to
replace the Bay Meadows race track
with a mixed-use development with
housing, ofces and parks. During his
time on the council, the city saw the con-
struction of a new library, police station
and re stations.
He was known to relish debate, said
San Mateo Councilman Robert Ross.
He stood rm on his values. He was
thorough and articulate in expressing his
opinions. A piece of him lives in all of
his fellow councilmembers, Ross said.
Look anywhere around the city and
you can see Lees legacy, he said.
He made his mark on the quality of
life in San Mateo, especially with his
work with the rail corridor plan, Ross
said.
While on the council, Lee was chair of
the San Mateo County Transportation
Authority, active in the San Mateo
Chamber of Commerce and was presi-
dent of the Redwood City/San Mateo
County Chamber of Commerce. He
lived in the Beresford/Hillsdale neigh-
borhood and was active in the neighbor-
hood association. He moved to San
Mateo in 1979.
He was the senior vice president of
electronics rm Telogy, Inc. for 13 years
before he joined the council.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps
for 22 years and served in the Korean
War and the Vietnam conict. It was his
time in the Marines that dened much of
his philosophy and his view of the
world, his stepson Michael Streim told
the Daily Journal.
Current San Mateo Mayor Brandt
Grotte ordered by proclamation Monday
night the U.S. and state ags to y at
half-staff in the city until sunset tomor-
row night out of respect for the memory
of Lee.
John Lee was a true leader whose
presence in the community will be
missed. The city of San Mateo owes him
a debt of gratitude for his 13 years of
leadership, Deputy Mayor David Lim
wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
John Joseph Lee, originally from
Arizona, is survived by ve children
from three marriages and 12 grandchil-
dren. His surviving children are John
Lee Jr. from Oregon; Michael Streim
from Utah; Karen Frost from San Jose;
Brenda Lee from Phoenix; and Marcella
Lee from Seattle, Wash.
We all made it out to be with him. It
is a testament to who he is. Being with
him last weekend was one of the worst
and best weekends of my life, Streim
said about seeing his father for the last
time.
His death has brought all three fami-
lies together, Streim said, and we are
stronger than ever.
Plans for a memorial are not yet set,
Streim said.
The family plans to spread his ashes
near the Pebble Beach golf course in
Monterey, where he golfed for more than
60 years, Streim said.
The family set up a Facebook page for
Lee where his friends can write notes at

LEE
ordered to spend 30 days in jail followed
by two years of probation and must pay
the California Bureau of Automotive
Repair $1,116.22.
The BAR is also working to revoke or
suspend Irshads automotive repair reg-
istration, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce.
The case was the rst against Irshad,
said John E. Wilson, deputy district
attorney in charge of the consumer and
environmental protection unit.
The vast majority of mechanics are
honest, but occasionally either our ofce
or the bureau get complaints, Wilson
said.
Such suspicions led the BAR and
county Vehicle Theft Task Force on Nov.
22, 2010 to bring a car to Hudson that
was equipped with a new alternator and
alternator belt. The alternator had been
unplugged so it would not charge the
battery. Instead of simply plugging in
the alternator, Irshad told the operator it
was not working and the belt was old,
according to prosecutors.
He charged the operator $442 for a
new alternator and belt which he did
install.
In February 2011, Irshad told the oper-
ator of a second undercover vehicle it
needed unnecessary brake pads and
rotors.
Complaints about unnecessary work is
difcult to prove without the use of doc-
umented vehicles because it is hard to
prove a personal cars condition prior to
coming in the shop, Wilson said.
Defense attorney Eric Hartman did not
return a call for comment.
Wilson called Irshads sentence very
appropriate.
Consumers should always check with
the BAR before doing business with an
auto repair shop by visiting www.autore-
pair.ca.gov or calling (800) 952-5210.
Consumers can also contact the BAR to
le complaints if they believe they were
ripped off.
Wilson also suggests getting personal
recommendations, checking with the
Better Business Bureau and not going
into a mechanic blind.
The more you know about your car,
the better shape youre in, Wilson said.

properties. Lastly, the much-anticipated
ferry terminal is set to open early next
month.
There are signs were emerging
from the recession, said Garbarino,
who added that costs, however, contin-
ue to rise.
South San Francisco has cut $6.4 mil-
lion from its budget for about seven
years, said City Manager Barry Nagel.
In the last two years, revenue has start-
ed to grow, said Garbarino. Most
specifically, the city is seeing an
increase in hotel and sales tax. Rises in
hotel tax, Garbarino explained, are
from both increased cost and demand.
Sales tax increases, he added, can be
attributed to increased prices at the gas
pump. Overall, the city is planning for a
stable budget in the coming year with
little changes.
One sign finances could soon
improve is the announcement of
SuccessFactors, a San Mateo software
company, will rent three floors of the
Centennial Tower building which has
been vacant since it opened in 2009.
Garbarino noted a few other tenants
will soon be announced. The 12-story
building is part of a larger $325 million
two-tower office and retail space proj-
ect on the heel of San Bruno Mountain
at 1 Tower Place. Getting a tenant
means construction on the second
building which will feature 21 sto-
ries, about 17,000 square feet per floor
and a football shape with the point
directed at Highway 101 can start
soon.
Construction will be happening in
South San Francisco for a number of
reasons in the near future. Plans to
upgrade the citys Safeway are under
consideration. Larger area plans to
increase housing opportunities and
pedestrian access around downtown
and the train station are also being dis-
cussed.
Those interested in transportation
could soon be taking the ferry from
South San Francisco, which is sched-
uled to open June 4.
The new service will carry peak-hour
commuters from ferry terminals in
Oakland and Alameda to Oyster Point
Ferry Terminal in about 40 minutes. At
its start, there will be three morning
rush hour departures from the East Bay,
and two return trips from Oyster Point
in the evening, according to the San
Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency
Transportation Authority. The number
of weekday trips will be revisited
depending on the popularity of the new
service, said Garbarino.
Lastly, Garbarino thanked the hard
work of the South San Francisco Police
Department, Daly City Police
Department, Department of Homeland
Security, the San Mateo County Gang
Initiative and the U.S. Attorneys Office
who all worked together in the arrest of
13 suspects across the Bay Area last
week. Among those arrested are four
alleged Norteo gangmembers who
face the death penalty for their part in a
triple homicide in South San Francisco
in late 2010.
The loss experienced will never be
forgotten, Garbarino said. Hopefully
this will bring a sense of closure to the
families and community.
