The countys mosquito abatement dis-
trict, facing possible dissolution in the
wake of a half-million dollar embezzle-
ment scandal, argues elimination is unwar-
ranted because the agency has already fixed
its problems, would be a low priority if
absorbed into the countys Environmental
Health division and is not the only public
entity marked by employee wrongdoing.
The San Mateo County Mosquito and
Vector Control District has learned a difcult
lesson and is devoted to its new system of
financial management, attorney Joan
Cassman wrote on behalf of the district in a
July 9 letter to the Local Agency Formation
Commission.
LAFCo is a state-mandated, independent
agency that oversees the organization and
boundaries of the countys cities and special
districts. Next week, the board will decide
whether to act on a recommendation by
Executive Director Martha Poyatos to dis-
solve the district and its 21-member board
made up of appointees by the countys city
councils and open the door to takeover by San
Mateo County.
However, Cassman said LAFCo has no
credible basis for reaching the conclusion and
gives short shrift to the districts efforts to
right itself after the alleged embezzlement of
$450,000 by the former nance director and
accounting supervisor.
LAFCo heartily endorsed the district during
its 2003 review so district ofcials are now
asking why, if adequate nancial reforms
have been put in place, the commission does
not support keeping the status quo.
Poyatos said at that time there was an immi-
nent public health threat because of West Nile

Serving high school students detained for legal issues or

three locations and creating performance measures, according
to a San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report released

A statewide effort to designate enrollment priorities for
community college students could have local impacts but
mostly in terms of how those services are funded.
Earlier this week, the California Community College Board
of Governors met to discuss enrollment priority regulations,
which will go up for a nal vote in September. If approved,
community colleges would have until the fall of 2014 to cre-
ate a system of rewarding students progressing toward trans-
ferring or earning a certicate or a degree rather than students
who take classes without that goal.
The proposed changes encourage successful student
behaviors and ensure the system is intelligently rationing
classes at a time of scarce resources to provide more students
with the opportunity to achieve their goals on time,
Chancellor Jack Scott wrote in a prepared statement. Current

Plans to upgrade Burton Park
including bocce ball courts, an outdoor
stage and renovated basketball court
comes with a hefty price tag which is
why a San Carlos foundation is offering
people a variety of ways to help raise the
funds.
Phase II of the plan to upgrade San
Carlos oldest developed park comes
with a $1.15 million cost. Once complet-
ed, the city will have a permanent stage,
nicer basketball courts and join the
growing number of local cities with
bocce ball courts. The San Carlos Parks
and Recreation Foundation is hoping to
raise $250,000 toward the plan. People
can help by purchasing naming rights to
a part of the park or attending the second
annual Symphony at Sunset Fundraiser
July 27.
San Carlos citizens have long identi-
ed the citys parks and recreation facil-
ities as essential to their quality of life,
said foundation board member Debbie
Denton.
Efforts to raise funds for the second
phase started about two years ago. The
group has hosted a golf tournament and
found success with its Good Life
Calendar project, said Denton. Now its
rolling out opportunities for people to
name some of the new additions to the
park like having a plaque on the new
stage, near a tree or even the bocce ball
courts. Thus far, a sponsor has come for-
ward to name the dancing area in front
of the stage, she said.
In November 2010, the San Carlos
City Council signed off on the conceptu-
al design for Phase II and directed its
staff to work with the foundation to
develop fundraising strategies to secure
money for the project.
The stage is proposed to include a cov-
ering and a space in front covered by
pavers or concrete to accommodate

Raccoons chase, attack
Washington state woman
LAKEWOOD, Wash. A
Washington state woman says she was
attacked and bitten by raccoons after her
dog chased several of the animals up a
tree.
Michaela Lee had just nished jogging
in Lakewoods Fort Steilacoom Park on
Monday when her dog got loose. When
she went to grab the dogs leash, several
other raccoons started to scratch her legs,
chased her for about 75 feet, knocked her
down and bit her.
Neighbor Michael Parks tells The
News Tribune he heard Lee screaming
and saw her on the ground. He called 911.
Two other neighbors also went to help.
Lee says her American dingo dog began
barking and helped drive the raccoons
off.
The 28-year-old Lee was treated for
about 16 puncture wounds and had
numerous scratches.
Yoga teacher fired after
glare at Facebook worker
SAN FRANCISCO Looks may not
kill, but they could get you red.
Thats what a Northern California yoga
instructor who wanted an hour of undis-
tracted peace while leading sessions at
Facebooks Menlo Park campus said hap-
pened to her. No distractions meant no
cellphones.
But the instructor, Alice Van Ness, said
her rule backred, and she got red after
she glared at a Facebook employee who
texted during a class in June.
The whole point for most people
going to yoga is that its disconnecting
from the outside world, said Van Ness, a
35-year-old San Carlos resident who has
taught yoga for six years. If you are
bringing your phone into class, why are
you even there?
Van Ness told the Facebook class to
turn their phones off after seeing a female
employee with a cellphone out. Later,
while demonstrating a difcult pose, she
caught the same worker typing on her
phone. Van Ness said she stayed silent,
but shot the woman a disapproving look.
The employee stepped out before return-
ing to the class, Van Ness said.
According to a termination letter from
Plus One Health Management that was
provided to the Associated Press by Van
Ness, she was warned prior to the class
that she could not enforce a cellphone
ban. David Milani, a representative of
Plus One Health Management, declined
to comment specically on Van Ness
case. But he said company instructors
who teach at some companies including
Facebook are required to allow tness
members to pick up their phones during
class.
Van Ness thought it would blow over,
until her employer red her two weeks
later. The Facebook employee was
embarrassed and shocked by the con-
frontation with the instructor, the termi-
nation letter indicated. The company
feared making clients unhappy, Van Ness
said.
We are in the business of providing
great customer service. Unless a client
requires us to specically say `no to
something, we prefer to say `yes when-
ever possible, an ofcial wrote in the ter-
mination letter.
Facebook, in a statement, declined to
comment on Van Ness case, saying its
against their policy to comment on deci-
sions made by outside vendors.
Boared piggy
goes to bank in Austria
VIENNA Piggy bank has a new
meaning in a town east of Vienna after a
surveillance camera caught a wild pig on
a night foray to a local branch of one of
Austrias nancial institutions.
The Austria Press Agency reports that
the inquisitive porker managed to push
open a locked sliding glass door of a bank
in Hainburg an der Donau to make its
way inside. After looking around, it left
the same way it came without causing
signicant damage, with the door locking
behind it.
APA, in its report Wednesday, said
bank ofcials became suspicious last
month after a member of the early morn-
ing cleaning staff noticed large smear
marks on the door. A review of surveil-
lance footage identied the unusual visi-
tor.

Coroner Robert Foucrault and the county
once again prevailed in a civil suit claiming he
violated his duty and the law by giving pieces
of a deceased mans brain to a private pathol-
ogist for evaluation in a wrongful death suit
without notifying his devoutly Jewish parents
they were not burying his entire body.
The suit by Jerald and Sandra Wolkoff was
their third attempt to hold Coroner Robert
Foucrault and San Mateo County accountable.
Twice before, a judge did not favor the
Wolkoffs but gave them the chance to le a
new complaint. In a hearing Wednesday,
Judge Joseph Bergeron again gave the couple
the opportunity to amend the lawsuit. If the
Wolkoffs do not contest the tentative ruling it
will become the courts order but attorney
Jayme Burns, who represents the Wolkoffs,
plans to le a new complaint. Burns said she
was not completely surprised at yesterdays
ruling although she felt the complaint was
strong.
The latest suit maintained the duty of care
argument but also added
allegations that Foucraults
treatment of Steven
Wolkoffs brain interfered
with the Wolkoffs right to
dispose of their sons
remains under California
law.
Bergerons ruling found
that the law refers to dis-
posal after scientic use
has concluded and that the
criminal statute cited by the suit relates only
to circumstances after a body has been
interred or is awaiting interment or cremation.
Neither apply to the case.
Bergeron also ruled that the Wolkoffs
werent deprived of property under the statute
used and that laws invoked are not used to
protect against emotional distress.
Steven Wolkoff died June 21, 2008 in a
vehicle crash on Highway 1 that also killed
another 21-year-old man. During the autopsy,
pieces of his neck and brain stem were
retained as part of standard procedure. The
following June, the Wolkoffs sued several par-
ties in their sons death including the county
and American Medical Response whose
workers they said failed to revive him. In
preparing its defense, AMR subpoenaed the
coroner records and tissue slides. The family
learned during a May 2010 deposition that
their sons brain was not buried with his body.
Although state law did not require Foucrault
to inform or seek consent from the Wolkoffs
to retain the tissue slides, they say he violated
his own ofce policy which was established
after another mother sued over the retention of
her deceased sons heart. That suit by Selina
Picon sparked proposed state legislation that
failed to become law but the courts ruled in
the countys favor.
Burns said she isnt certain how many times
the suit will be reled if again denied but the
judge keeps allowing amendments and her
rm continues nding new legal arguments.
We believe in the basis of this suit and our
clients strongly believe in it, she said.
Foucrault was not available for comment.

State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo has been threatened
before for some of his controversial legisla-
tion and comments while serving in
Sacramento but foes of a new bill Yee is
pushing to close a loophole in state law
related to automatic weapons has drawn out
some of the most racist diatribes the senator
has ever received.
Although the senator and his office are
used to getting threats for his positions on
issues such as violent video games; Sarah
Palins paycheck for a speaking engagement
at a California State University campus; and
calling out Rush Limbaugh for racist com-
ments he made on radio, the new threats have
taken an even uglier turn, said Adam
Keigwin, Yees chief of staff.
Usually you dismiss them but the volume
of racist comments is high. The number of
letters that reference Yees ethnicity is quite
surprising, Keigwin told the Daily Journal
yesterday.
Senate Bill 249 passed out of the
Assembly Public Safety Committee last
week on a 4-2 vote and will be considered
after the Legislature comes back from break
in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Although California has some of strongest
gun control laws in the country, gun manu-
facturers are getting around one the states
most important assault weapon laws, accord-
ing to Yees office. The loophole allows own-
ership of a semi-automatic weapon such
as an AR-15 and AK-47 that has a maga-
zine which can be easily detached by a small
magnet.
Magazines, or the storage areas that allow
for repeat firing, that can be removed by a
normal push button in combination with fea-
tures such as a pistol grip and telescoping
stock are banned in California. The law
essentially requires magazines to be fixed, or
removed or replaced with the use of a tool, in
order to slow down the process of reloading.
To get around the law, gun makers have
created a new mechanism, or tool, that
allows the magazine to be easily removed by
just putting a small magnet over the tool
release feature, basically recreating a normal
push button and allowing magazines to be
changed within seconds, according to Yees
office.
The National Rifle Association, California
Rifle & Pistol Association and California
Association of Federal
Firearms Licensees
oppose the bill and have
encouraged their mem-
bers to write Yee and other
lawmakers expressing
their opposition to the leg-
islation.
The California
Association of Federal
Firearms Licensees has
even paid for a billboard on northbound
Highway 101 in San Carlos that reads Sen.
Yee hates your civil rights! Stop SB 249.
The billboard was placed on Highway 101
to inform residents of the area about the
issue and Yees history of authoring uncon-
stitutional laws, said Brandon Combs, who is
on the board of the licensees group.
He pointed to the Supreme Court ruling
that struck down a California law that would
restrict the sale of violent video games as an
example of Yees unconstitutional laws.
The group does not, however, endorse the
use of racist comments to intimidate law-
makers, he said.
We deplore any racist comments and we
stand with Yee in that regard. Its not about
Yee, its about the bill, Combs told the
Daily Journal yesterday.
The groups contend that Yees bill will
make criminals out of law-abiding citizens
but Yee says the loophole in existing law
circumvents the spirit of gun-control laws
already on the books.
There is absolutely no reason why these
military-style weapons need to have such
easily changeable magazines. While most
gun owners are law abiding, I am deeply
concerned with these assault weapons get-
ting into the wrong hands, resulting in mass
casualties of civilians or law enforcement
officers, Yee wrote in a statement.
Opponents of the bill have sent thousands
of letters to Yees office urging him to drop
the effort. Most, about 99 percent, come
from outside his district, Keigwin said.
Some of the most radical comments from
foes of the bill included: Buddy we are out
here and we are going to fight you I see
youre from Communist China and you
arent getting away with this crap Go
back to China.
Others have taken to Twitter, Facebook,
Calguns.net, AR15.com,
AroundTheCapitol.com and other websites
to post offensive comments and photos,
including racist caricatures of Asians and
comments such as Take this sh*t back to
China you communist f*ck, who the f*ck
let a chink into office, and Read the
AMERICAN constitution, you commie
chink f*ck, among others, according to
Yees office.
The offensive comments will not stop Yee
from pushing for the bills passage, Keigwin
said.
The California Rifle & Pistol
Associations concerns regarding SB 249
include the fact that it would make it illegal
to possess parts for magazine releases on
most semi-automatic firearms with detach-
able magazines. There are hundreds of thou-
sands of firearms that may be impacted by
SB 249, the organization contends. These
firearms are legally owned by California res-
idents and Yees bill could potentially make
criminals out of law-abiding citizens, the
organization states on its website.
The California Police Chiefs Association
is not supporting SB 249 and believes the
issue should be addressed administratively
through the California Attorney Generals
Office.

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

An alleged would-be mugger accused
of stabbing a teenage Good Samaritan
who stepped in at his mothers urging will
stand trial on charges of attempted rob-
bery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Hector Mora, 29, has pleaded not
guilty but was held to answer after a pre-
liminary hearing yesterday. Judge Marta
Diaz also issued a protective order pre-
venting Mora from contacting the wit-
nesses.
San Mateo police arrested Mora April
12 not far from the Monte Diablo Avenue
overcrossing where they say he confront-
ed a 55-year-old Spanish-speaking man
with a knife and asked what he had in his
bag.
A San Mateo woman who spotted the
confrontation yelled to her sons, 17 and
20 and just home from church, and they
ran from their apartment to the bridge.
Mora allegedly raised the knife to the 17-
year-old, stabbing him in the hand and
forearm, before running away. The teen
required eight stitches.
Police arrested Mora nearby and the
victim and sons identied him.
He remains in custody in lieu of
$50,000 bail. He next appears in
Superior Court July 31 to enter a plea and
possibly set a trial date.
Good Samaritan stabbing suspect to trial
By Johathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK A plunge in the price
of natural gas has made it cheaper for
utilities to produce electricity. But the
savings arent translating to lower rates
for customers. Instead, U.S. electricity
prices are going up.
Electricity prices are forecast to rise
slightly this summer. But any increase is
noteworthy because natural gas, which is
used to produce nearly a third of the
countrys power, is 43 percent cheaper
than a year ago. A long-term downward
trend in power prices could be starting to
reverse, analysts say.
Its caused us to scratch our heads,
says Tyler Hodge, an analyst at the
Energy Department who studies electric-
ity prices.
The recent heat wave that gripped
much of the country increased demand
for power as families cranked up their air
conditioners. And that may boost some
June utility bills.
Electric rates not falling along with fuel costs
A teen who allegedly carjacked a car
seller after taking the advertised
Mustang for a test drive using a fake
gun to demand the pink slip while he
drove the handcuffed owner around
Daly City was ordered to stand trial
after a preliminary hearing at which the
victim testied about believing he was
going to die.
Jeremy Jenkins, 20, reportedly told
authorities after his arrest he made a
stupid mistake but after hearing from
the car seller and responding ofcers a
judge ruled the action also warranted
trial on charges of carjacking, kidnap-
ping during a carjacking and second-
degree robbery.
Jenkins reportedly responded to a
Craigslist ad April 23 and met the 26-
year-old owner at the Daly City BART
station. Jenkins allegedly put a gym bag
in the car prior to the test drive and
afterwards pulled a replica handgun and
ordered the man to handcuff himself.
Jenkins pulled a pillow case over the
mans head and placed him in the back
seat and demanded the pink slip,
according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
When the man said the pink slip was at
home, Jenkins allegedly drove around
for 20 minutes before pulling into a
garage and having the man call his
mother. The woman, sensing something
was amiss when asked to bring the pink
slip to the BART station, called 911.
While BART police met with the moth-
er, the victim again called and the ofcer
was able to discern what was happening,
according to authorities.
The police waited at the BART park-
ing lot and when Jenkins arrived
detained him at gunpoint.
Jenkins remains in custody without
bail and returns to court July 27 to enter
a Superior Court plea.
Alleged carjacker to trial for kidnapping car seller
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
issued a furlough order Wednesday for
more than 11,000 California workers
whose unions have yet to reach a deal for
a 5 percent wage cut.
Browns order forces employees to
take one day of unpaid leave a month,
which amounts to a pay cut of about 5
percent.
Bruce Blanning, executive director of
the Professional Engineers in California
Government, said Wednesday that he
still hopes to reach a compromise with
Brown. His group wants the state to
eliminate private
contracts for work he
says can be done
cheaper by state
engineers.
We said we can
take a pay cut, just
dont outsource our
work at twice the
cost, Blanning
said.
California lawmakers passed a budget
last month authorizing the Democratic
governor to furlough state workers to
help save an estimated $402 million for
the year.
Unlike former Republican Gov.
Arnold Schwarzeneggers furlough
order, which created employee uproar,
most unions 19 of the states 21 labor
groups quickly reached agreements
with Brown before the new scal year
started July 1.
Only the two unions representing
11,600 state engineers and heavy
machinery operators continue to hold
out.
Employees must take one day off
within each pay period, according to
the order from the California
Department of Human Resources dated
July 5.

By David Espo
WASHINGTON Pressing an elec-
tion-year point, Republicans pushed yet
another bill through the House on
Wednesday to repeal the nations two-
year-old health care law, a maneuver that
forced Democrats to choose between
President Barack Obamas signature
domestic achievement and a public that
is persistently skeptical of its value.
The vote was 244-185, with five
Democratic defectors siding with
Republicans.
By Republican count, the vote marked
the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea
party-infused GOP majority has tried to
eliminate, defund or otherwise scale
back the program opponents scorn-
fully call it Obamacare since the
GOP took control of the House.
Repeal this year by Congress is
doomed, since the Democratic-con-
trolled Senate will never agree.
But Illinois Rep.
Peter Roskam said
before joining other
Republicans in
Wednesdays House
vote: Heres the
good news. The vot-
ers get the last word
in November. Stay
tuned.
Nor was the vote
in the House the only act of political the-
ater during the day as campaign con-
cerns increasingly crowded out biparti-
san attempts at law-making in the
Capitol.
One day after a campaigning Obama
called on Congress to pass his proposal
to extend tax cuts on all but the highest
wage earners, Senate Republican leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered
to allow an immediate vote. I cant see
why Democrats wouldnt want to give
him the chance to sign the bill, he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., countered by blocking an imme-
diate vote. Well get to the tax issues.
That way well be able to talk in more
detail about Governor Romneys taxes,
he said in a reference to Democratic
campaign attacks on the GOP presiden-
tial candidates overseas investment, the
relatively low rate of income tax he is
required to pay and his refusal thus far to
release personal tax returns dating
before 2010.
The health care debate roiled the cam-
paign for the White House as well as
Congress.
Republican presidential candidate
Mitt Romney drew boos from his large-
ly black audience at the NAACP con-
vention when he vowed to wipe out
Obamas overhaul.
In the House, Republicans assailed the
law as a job-killing threat to the eco-
nomic recovery, but Democrats said
repeal would eliminate consumer pro-
tections that already have affected mil-
lions.
GOP House votes to kill health law
Romney booed for
hitting Obamacare
By Kasie Hunt
HOUSTON Uninching before a skeptical NAACP
crowd, Mitt Romney declared Wednesday hed do more for
African-Americans than Barack Obama, the nations rst black
president. He drew jeers when he lambasted the Democrats
policies.
If you want a president who will make things better in the
African-American community, you are looking at him,
Romney told the groups annual convention. Pausing as some in
the crowd heckled, he added, You take a look!
For real? yelled someone in the crowd.
The reception was occasionally rocky though generally polite
as the Republican presidential candidate sought to woo a
Democratic bloc that voted heavily for Obama four years ago
and is certain to do so again. Romney was booed when he vowed
to repeal Obamacare the Democrats signature health care
measure and the crowd interrupted him when he accused
Obama of failing to spark a more robust economic recovery.
I know the president has said he will do those things. But he
has not. He cannot. He will not, Romney said as the crowds
murmurs turned to groans.
At other points, Romney earned scattered clapping for his
promises to create jobs and improve education. In an interview
with Fox News after the speech, Romney said he had expected
the negative reaction to some of his comments. I am going to
give the same message to the NAACP that I give across the
country which is that Obamacare is killing jobs, he said.
Four months before the election, Romneys appearance at the
NAACP convention was a direct, aggressive appeal for support
from across the political spectrum in what polls show is a close
contest. Romney doesnt expect to win a majority of black vot-
ers 95 percent backed Obama in 2008 but hes trying to
show independent and swing voters that hes willing to reach out
to diverse audiences, while demonstrating that his campaign and
the Republican Party he leads are inclusive.
The stakes are high. Romneys chances in battleground states
such as North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania
which have huge numbers of blacks who helped Obama win
four years ago will improve if he can cut into the presidents
advantage by persuading black voters to support him or if they
stay home on Election Day.
Last drugs standing: Key
Alzheimers results coming
By Marilynn Marchione
Were about to nd out if there will be a way anytime soon
to slow the course of Alzheimers disease. Results are due
within a month or so from key studies of two drugs that aim to
clear the sticky plaque gumming up patients brains.
A pivotal study of a third drug will end later this year, and
results from a small, early test of it will be reported next week
at an Alzheimers conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
These three treatments are practically the last men stand-
ing in late-stage trials, after more than a decade of failed
efforts to develop a drug to halt the mind-robbing disease.
Current medicines such as Aricept and Namenda just tem-
porarily ease symptoms. There is no known cure.
Experts say that if these fail, drug companies may pull out of
the eld in frustration, leaving little hope for the millions of
people with the disease. An estimated 35 million people world-
wide have dementia, which includes Alzheimers. In the U.S.,
experts say about 5 million have Alzheimers.
The three treatments being tested are not even drugs in the
traditional, chemical sense. They are antibodies proteins
made by the immune system that promote clearance of amy-
loid, the stuff that forms the plaque.
Its a strategy with a checkered history, and scientists arent
even sure that amyloid causes Alzheimers or that removing it
will do any good in people who already have symptoms. But
there are some hopeful signs they may be on the right track.

ISTANBUL The Syrian ambassador
to Iraq has defected, denouncing President
Bashar Assad in a TV statement
Wednesday, becoming the most senior
diplomat to abandon the regime during a
bloody 16-month uprising.
Nawaf Fares, a former provincial gover-
nor, is the second prominent Syrian to
break with the regime in less than a week.
Brig. Gen. Manaf Tlass, an Assad con-
dant and son of a former defense minister,
ed Syria last week, buoying Western
powers and anti-regime activists, who
expressed hope that other high-ranking
defections would follow.
The high-level defections could be a
sign that Assads tightly wrapped regime is
unraveling, but it was too early to be cer-
tain. There have been thousands of defec-
tions in the past, mostly low-level army
conscripts, but until now no one as senior
as the general and the ambassador had
ed.
In a statement broadcast on the Arabic
satellite channel Al-Jazeera, Fares said he
was resigning and joining the opposition.
Wearing a dark suit and reading from a
prepared text in what appeared to be a
large ofce, Fares harshly criticized Assad.
Im announcing from this moment on
that Im siding with the revolution in
Syria, he said, according to the Al-Jazeera
translation into English.

Rating American
airlinesoptions
By Scott Mayerowitz
NEW YORK American Airlines is weighing various
options for its future, but most analysts say the nations No. 3 air-
line only has one viable choice: combine with No. 5 US Airways.
American could leave bankruptcy protection as an independent
company. Or join forces with a much smaller airline such as
JetBlue or Frontier. There has been talk of a tie-up with United or
Delta, the nations two biggest airlines, or possibly a large infu-
sion of cash from either a foreign airline or a private equity rm.
Some of those scenarios might be wishful thinking while oth-
ers will at least be vetted by management. Tom Horton,
CEO of Americans parent AMR Corp., said Tuesday that he is
now evaluating a range of strategic options, including potential
mergers. Here are some of the possibilities:
US AIRWAYS MERGER
If you listen to Wall Street, this is the only outcome that makes
sense. Analysts say the airlines have somewhat complementary
route networks and both are too small to thrive on their own.
Investors agree the price of US Airways Group Inc. stock has
more than tripled since Nov. 28, when American led for bank-
ruptcy.
US Airways CEO Doug Parker has aggressively pushed for a
combination. He won the support of Americans three largest
unions their leaders even posed for photos with him at the
companys annual meeting. Thats where he gave a slide presen-
tation showing that the combined airline would have the largest
market share east of the Rockies.
In many ways, Parker is right: both airlines have to merge.
In the last ve years, Delta combined with Northwest and
United joined with Continental to create two behemoths that con-
trol nearly 60 percent of the market. American, which was once
the worlds largest carrier, has just under 20 percent of the mar-
ket and US Airways has another 10 percent. Teaming up, they
would be on par with Delta and United.
They just arent going to be competitive without merging
together, said Robert Herbst, an independent airline analyst.
American would gain feeder ights from smaller cities to its
hubs as well as US Airways lucrative shuttle service between
New York, Boston and Washington D.C. US Airways would gain
higher-prot international routes.
Still, there would be headaches. Seven years ago, America
West bought US Airways out of bankruptcy, taking its name. The
two airlines still have not merged staffs, with former America
West pilots only ying with other former America West pilots.
Adding American to the mix will complicate matters but could
also help. The larger American unions would have enough voting
power to outweigh any of the disagreements between the two US
Airways labor groups.
American still has the exclusive right in the bankruptcy process

Capuchino music teacher
admits student affair
The Capuchino High School music
director who carried on a months-long
affair with a 17-year-old student plead-
ed no contest the week of July 13, 2007
to felony statutory rape and oral copula-
tion with a minor in return for no more
than 16 months in prison.
Adam Glen Albrecht, 28, changed his
plea at a Superior Court review hearing
that week, two weeks after he resigned
his job and was arrested by Broadmoor
police.
Albrecht also pleaded no contest to a
misdemeanor count of contributing to
the delinquency of a minor.
Albrecht and a 17-year-old female
student allegedly began a six-month
sexual relationship which carried on
until June 2007 when her mother dis-
covered the incidents through cellular
phone bills.
Packed Belmont streets
prompt zoning change
To combat overcrowded streets in
Belmont, the City Council the week of
July 13, 2007 approved a set of zoning
amendments to make it tougher for resi-
dents to add on to their home without
adding garage space.
The city had struggled to address
overcrowded streets for several years
prior by drafting ordinances that trig-
ger the need for extra garage space if a
resident applies for a large addition.
However, residents were getting cre-
ative with the way they dened certain
rooms of their home and refusing to
park cars in their garages.
The rules specied an applicant must
have a two-car garage and two uncov-
ered parking spaces for any home
adding 600 or more square feet of gross
oor area, that will become 3,000
square feet or larger or creates four or
more bedrooms. The council voted that
week to add additional language that
make any houses already 3,000 square
feet or with four or more bedrooms
subject to the same rules.
Bair Island repairs to begin

Trucks were set to deliver an estimat-
ed 1 million cubic yards of dirt to raise
the level of the island the rst step in
its restoration to a natural tidal wetland.
Bair Island is a 3,000-acre portion of
the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay
National Wildlife Refuge and an esti-
mated 250,000 people visit annually.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
was undertaking the restoration of
about 1,400 acres of Bair Island, to
return it to its natural condition as tidal
wetlands a recovery from its historic
human use as grazing lands and salt
evaporation ponds.

The Bakerseld Californian
C
alifornias relentless march away
from educational advancement and
enrichment continues unabated, as
two recent developments attest.
This week, the board of governors of
Californias community college system voted
to further scale back what was once a source
of great pride for California: The dual role of
community colleges as an academic and
vocational starting point for high school
graduates who may not be ready for a univer-
sity, and a place for members of the commu-
nity to enjoy enrichment courses. The
boards decision restricts students in the lat-
ter category; enrollees will no longer be per-
mitted to repeat courses in, say, pottery or
weight training. Resources strained by reces-
sionary budget cuts have forced community
colleges to focus on their primary mission:
academic and vocational preparation.
Thats the proper approach, of course,
given the present state of Californias econo-
my, but the state is a little worse for it. The
community in community college wont
quite mean the same.
Of greater concern is the direction adult
education is headed in California. Adult
schools that have played a vital role in build-
ing communities and redirecting vulnerable
populations toward productivity have taken
big hits in recent years. A survey by
EdSource, an education nonprot, found that
23 of the state s 30 largest school districts
have made signicant cuts to their adult edu-
cation programs since 2007.
Why? Because they can. Districts forced to
cope with the continuing state budget crisis
have been granted new exibility in how they
use funding previously earmarked for specif-
ic areas, including adult education, and many
have opted to de-emphasize it. And that
works to the detriment of some of the states
most at-risk adults, including the disabled,
the unemployed and the elderly, as well as
ex-offenders trying to re-establish themselves
and immigrants studying to become U.S. citi-
zens.
Theres a price to pay for these sacrices,
ranging from a diminished quality of life to
the economic harm that arises when people
who, denied the opportunity to improve
themselves, rely on state aid instead of work-
ing and paying taxes.
Oh boy, high-speed rail!
Editor,
The rst section is a track in the middle of
the state, in nowhere land? I guess when the
funding runs out way before completion it
will make a nice tourist attraction of sorts
(tomato train)? And the jobs? Lets see if it
goes like the recent Bay Bridge and the
BART car contracts, which equaled Chinese
engineering, Chinese steel and
French/Canadian cars. Sounds like lots of job
creation for other countries. Oh I forgot,
maybe we can lay the tracks this time instead
of Chinese laborers. Too bad this country can
no longer make anything. Why dont we
build the cars in Detroit? There are plenty of
empty auto plants there. Why cant we mill
our own steel? Too expensive? At least the
money stays in the country and circulates
multiple times. With the way the unemploy-
ment rate is in this country, maybe its time
to insert a buy American clause into all
public works projects. Theyre our tax dollars
and I personally would rather pay more to
keep our countrymen working.

Support high-speed rail
Editor,
I will most certainly be riding high-speed
rail from Northern California to Southern
California when its built.
California is completely saturated with
highways and roads all of them clogged
with trafc. We cant simply just add another
lane to the Interstate 5 or any other highway
and expect that travel times will be reduced.
The cost to simply just add another lane to a
highway is a tremendous expense that were
used to paying as Californians. But no more.
With high-speed rail, there will be a more
efcient and ultimately a lower cost way to
get up and down this state, minus the car and
airport nightmares.
Im in full support of high-speed rail!

False analogy
Editor,
In his letter Response to mandates (pub-
lished in the July 7-8 weekend edition of the
Daily Journal), Arthur Collom likens the
national health insurance mandate to the
requirement for carrying auto insurance. This
is a false analogy.
Driving is a privilege and is at its core a
voluntary activity, as the vehicle codes and
drivers handbooks in all 50 states are fond of
reminding us. To receive this privilege, all
drivers must carry liability and other insur-
ance.
Simply existing, on the other hand, is not
voluntary (suicide is illegal most everywhere,
after all). And I doubt that even Mr. Collom
would consider it a privilege granted by the
state.

Pedestrian safety issues
continue at Fox Plaza Lane
Editor,
Fox Plaza Lane is an alley in Burlingame
that demonstrates the citys legacy of allow-
ing unprotected street crossings and endan-
gering residents. (See City of Burlingame,
CA pedestrian cross walk threat dangerously
too high (planetshifter.com/node/1792) and
A safety are from Burlingame, CA (plan-
etshifter.com/node/1534).)
Consider the following safety issues:
This sidewalk or alley path is in dire
need of repainting;
The path is about three feet wide and
unsafe for two people;
This path abruptly ends at the corner of
Fox Mall Shopping Center;
From the abrupt corner ending, pedestri-
ans are unprotected for the rest of way up
until Walgreens;
This primary pedestrian path was
approved by the citys Planning Commission;
There are no trafc signs to slow autos at
the rear entrance of Fox Mall;
There are two small signs on the exit
doors inside a dark Fox Mall, but both signs
are easily missed if the doors are propped
open;
Pedestrians are walking down the middle
of the lane;
There are no warning signs for pedestrians
anywhere;
There is yellow handicap warning materi-
al from the parking lot; and
There is no posted speed limit anywhere.
Here are my recommendations:
Turn the lane into one way road headed
east;
Update the existing alley path to a two
pedestrian standard;
The path should be restriped;
Continue the larger pedestrian path until
the end of the lane;
Place standing warning signs at Fox Mall
to slow drivers;
Enforce a maximum speed limit of 10
mph; and
Place yellow handicap warning material at
the Fox Mall entrance.
Burlingame Public Works Director Syed
Murtuza stated last week that staff will
study your concerns and include it at a future
Trafc Safety and Parking Commission
meeting agenda.

Education takes a couple more punches

Be mime
M
ime or clown of course that was
the newsroom question of the day
and so much more difcult a
choice than Obama versus Romney. Odd
entertainers dont always split so evenly down
party lines.
Clowns are scary
but mimes cant
speak. Clowns get
a car (along with
18 friends) but
mimes dont have
to shoot water out
of owers or wear
oversized shoes.
Clowns have red
noses and juggle.
Their outts are
more forgiving
although black is
admittedly slimming. Both are stuck with an
overabundance of face paint and most of their
fans are children with short attention spans.
But mimes have an excuse to tune out the
world and put themselves in a box which isnt
too shabby for those anti-social moments.
I chose clown. Then switched to mime.
Then back to clown. Then considered if those
silver-painted gentlemen at Fishermans
Wharf counted as mimes.
None of this helped solve the real question
at hand: How to best celebrate Bastille Day.
Thats right, Saturday, July 14 marks
Bastille Day which is actually named French
National Day and commemorates the storm-
ing of what else? the fortress prison.
Why not celebrate? When in Rome of
course, were not actually in Rome and were
certainly not in France. Bastille doesnt even
rate a mention on the desk calendar even
though the year does include something called
Civic Day that apparently is a Canadian
holiday. Even Boxing Day and Victoria Day
get nods although I couldnt even begin to
explain either of those occasions.
But since when do Americans limit them-
selves to only celebrating holidays within their
own borders? St. Patricks Day anyone? Cinco
de Mayo? Chinese New Year? Chances are
good the U.S. population is more keen on cel-
ebrating those holidays than more traditionally
American days like presidential birthdays or
Memorial Day. Everybody loves the day off
but the majority frankly doesnt take much
time to really appreciate the reason behind
them.
I wonder if those in other parts of the globe
make a point to celebrate American holidays
just for the heck of it. The British certainly
have no reason to party on the Fourth of July
but what about other countries? Maybe
Lithuanians are big on Thanksgiving. Perhaps
the Danes are really into Martin Luther King
Day.
Something makes me think the love of a
holiday, no matter how silly or foreign, is
more an American trait. That affection proba-
bly explains odd days, albeit unofcially, such
as National Fried Chicken Day although
International Talk Like a Pirate Day must also
be noted.
In any case, generally if a day calls for gifts,
drinking or pyrotechnics, Americans are in.
Bastille Day could call for all of the above,
short maybe the gifts unless miniature prison
snow globes count. But how exactly to cele-
brate like a true Frenchman?
Drink wine, of course, or maybe
Champagne. Smear some brie on a baguette.
Dust off A Tale of Two Cities and crank up
Les Miserables. Make a crepe. Act snotty.
Eat foie gras but only on the Presidio.
Make a former model the rst lady. Suggest
the guillotine make a comeback if lethal injec-
tion doesnt survive the endless court injunc-
tions. Chomp on snails and frogs legs. Wear a
beret.
And of course, berets always lead to mimes
which in turn lead to clowns.
Thank goodness an online petition exists to
create Talk in Non Sequitur Day.

NEW YORK The stock market
mostly recovered from an afternoon
slump to end with slight losses.
In minutes from their latest meeting
released Wednesday afternoon, Federal
Reserve ofcials said they saw a variety
of threats to the U.S. economy, including
a slowdown in China and a looming
budget crunch in Washington. The Fed
also didnt signal that new steps to stim-
ulate the economy were on the way.
Stock investors took the news badly at
rst, but by the end of the day were tak-
ing it in stride. The Dow Jones industri-
al average dropped as many as 118
points shortly after the 2 p.m. release of
the Feds minutes. Thanks to a recovery
in the last hour it was down just 48
points at the closing bell, not much dif-
ferent from where it was earlier.
Fed ofcials said the economy could
struggle if Congress fails to avert tax
hikes and across-the-board spending
cuts scheduled for the end of the year.
They also worried that Europes debt cri-
sis and Chinas slower growth would
weigh on the U.S.
But it was what the Fed didnt say that
really tripped the stock market up, said
Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at
Mizuho Securities USA. He said many
traders had hoped to see evidence that
the Fed was prepared to pull the trigger
on a new bond-buying effort to prod the
economy forward.
They didnt get what they wanted to
see, Ricchiuto said.
The Dow closed at 12,604.53, down
48.59 points. The Standard & Poors 500
index slipped 0.02 of a point to 1,341.45.
The technology-focused Nasdaq com-
posite index lost 14.35 points to
2,887.98.
It was the fth straight day of losses
for both the Dow and S&P. Thats the
worst stretch for both since a six-day
losing streak that ran through May 18.
With Europe still working out the details
of a bailout for Spanish banks and the
U.S. economy still sluggish, theres little
for investors to buy stocks.
The bottom line is that there arent a
lot of investors willing to put money into
this market, said Jeff Kleintop, chief
market strategist at LPL Financial.
Theres not much to get excited about.
The current batch of U.S. corporate
earnings, which started to come in this
week, isnt expected to help the stock
market.

INDEPENDENT AMERICAN
Prior to this week, Americans management said it wanted
remain independent, vowing to emerge from bankruptcy protec-
tion as a more competitive, nancially sound airline.
Indeed, American is using the bankruptcy process to slash
employee wages. It also has an ambitious plan to replace its
planes with newer, more fuel-efcient models.
But it still doesnt have the size or route network to compete
with other airlines. Domestically, it is often undercut by low-cost
airlines like Spirit Airlines Inc. and Virgin America.
Internationally, it faces erce competition from Delta and United
as well as foreign airlines like Air France and Dubais Emirates.
In order to survive independently, American would have to beef
up its presence on the East Coast and West Coast. That would
mean expanding at a time when the rest of the industry has been
cutting ights to deal with decreasing demand.
MERGING WITH DELTA OR UNITED
A deal with Delta Air Lines or United, part of United
Continental Holdings Inc. might make nancial sense. But any
such combination would control such a large share of ights that
anti-trust regulators would likely vote thumbs down.
The Department of Transportation has been trying to let small-
er airlines like Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways Corp. and
Virgin America compete in some markets such as New York and
Washington, D.C. The Department of Justice did allow
Southwest and AirTran to merge but to put that in perspective, a
merged American-United would be more than three times as
large as the combined Southwest-AirTran.
Theres no way that the DOJ and the DOT are going to let
Delta or United in any way, shape or form to get any part of
American Airlines, said Herbst.
SAN FRANCISCO Apples with-
drawal from an environmental ratings
registry has prompted at least one city
San Francisco to stop buying its com-
puters.
The decision does not apply to iPads
or iPhones. But Francis Tsang,
spokesman for Mayor Edwin Lees
ofce, says the citys rules require that
laptops, computers and monitors comply
with the registrys requirements.
Late last month, Apple Inc. told the
nonprot EPEAT, short for Electronic
Product Environmental Assessment
Tool, to remove its products from its reg-
istry. It also plans to stop submitting its
products to EPEAT for environmental
ratings.
EPEAT is an industry standard that
seeks to make it easier for customers to
buy environmentally friendly electron-
ics. Manufacturers still participating
include Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard,
Lenovo, Samsung and Sony.
Apple did not respond to messages for
comment Wednesday afternoon.
Although it pulled out of the environ-
mental registry, Apple has long pointed
to its environmental track record. On the
environment section of is website,
Apple says it reports environmental
impact comprehensively. We do this by
focusing on our products: what happens
when we design them, what happens
when we make them, and what happens
when you take them home and use
them.
For example, the Cupertino, Calif.-
based company has replaced many of the
hazardous materials in its gadgets with
less harmful and more recyclable ones,
and has designed longer-life batteries for
its computers, media players and
phones. Its recycling program offers gift
cards to people who send in their old
Apple gadgets for recycling.

SERENA OUT SWINGING: WIMBLEDON CHAMPION WINS FIRST MATCH AT STANFORD >>> PAGE 15

There is a bit of a Little League renaissance
going on in the city of Pacica.
In 2011, the Pacica American 10-11 All-
Star team captured its rst District 52 cham-
pionship in about 20 years.
Wednesday, the 2012 9-10 Pacifica
American All-Star team added to the growing
legacy by beating Foster City 5-3 to claim the
organizations rst-ever 9-10 district crown.
Its huge, said Pacica American manag-
er Steve Falk. I think half the city is here.
Hopefully they got there early because
Pacica got off to a quick start, scoring all ve
of its runs in the rst two innings before
Foster City reliever Lopeti Pierre shut down
Pacica for the last three innings.
Unfortunately for Foster City, the damage
had been done.
Pacica is a great team, said Foster City
manager Mike Callagy. [My] guys hung in
and did their best to the end.
Wednesdays championship game was a far
cry from the rst meeting between the two
squads a 11-0, four-inning shellacking of
Foster City at the hands of Pacica American
in the winners bracket nal last week.
[Foster City] came out to play today, Falk
said. I knew they would come in here red
up.
Foster City had the rst chance to get on the
scoreboard, loading the bases in the top of the
rst inning, but coming up empty. With one
out, Shane Stewart singled to center.
Following a foul out, Drew Aspillera and
Jonathan Santos had back-to-back base hits to
load the bases, but Pacica starter Andrew
Harkness got out of the jam on a ground out
to shortstop.
Pacifica American promptly loaded the
bases in the bottom of the frame, but unlike
Foster City, Pacica took advantage. With one
out, Christian Falk doubled to left. Following
a groundout, Elijah Ricks and Chris
Rodriguez drew back-to-back walks to load
the bases. Shane Hawkins drew Pacificas
third walk in a row, driving in Falk in the
process. Michael Bigler also walked to drive
in the second run of the inning, giving
Pacifica American a 2-0 lead after one
inning.
(Scoring early) put everyone at ease,

Hanging on the wall inside the Aragon
girls soccer team room are the jerseys from
former players who have gone on to play at
the college level following their time as a
Don.
Come the 2012-2013 season, the No. 2 jer-
sey will nd a home on that wall.
Dominican University announced earlier
this week that Nicole Rodrick, a midelder on
the Central Coast Section-winning Aragon
soccer team, will put on the Penguin uniform
as part of the incoming freshman class.
In the end, I just wanted to stay close to my
family in case I needed anything they would-
nt be too far away, Rodrick said of a choice
that came between Dominican and The
University of New Jersey.
I think its a good decision, said Aragon
head coach Will Colglazier. Shes denitely
going to be closer to home and I cant wait to
go see her play.
In three varsity seasons, Rodrick played in
35 games, scored six goals and tallied eight
assists. But her contribution to the Dons
extended beyond the stat sheet.
She has something you cant coach, she
has vision, Colglazier said. She sees the
game, shes able to make those passes. Shes
our (Spain midfielder) Xavi (Hernandez).
Shes in the center of the eld for us, making
amazing through balls. She was quite impor-
tant to our success.
Rodricks trek to Dominican is a story of
resolve, considering that the now Aragon
graduate missed the rst half of her senior
season when she failed to make grades.
It was kind of like senioritis, pretty much
it bites you in the butt, Rodrick said. But
with the support of my family, my friends and
my team, I was able to nally pick up my
grades so I could help the team out the best
way that I could on the eld.
When she wasnt playing, she was a great
cheerleader for us, Colglazier said, adding
that Rodrick picked up the teams Spirit
Award at years end. She is actually very tac-
tically smart. She didnt just ball-watch from
Rodrick heading to Dominican University

The District 52 Little League Majors cham-
pionship has shined with the red and blue of
Hillsborough eight of the last nine years. Its a
mountain theyve owned; a kingdom theyve
ruled with an iron st.
That is until 2012. At least for this year, there
is a new king and he wears a Foster City All-
Stars jersey.
Behind the phenomenal pitching of Dominic
Monozon and a pair of clutch hits, Foster City
beat Hillsborough 3-1 to capture their rst
District 52 Majors title in 20 years.
It feels great, said Foster City head coach
Steve Sutter. Ive been doing this for ve
years. Weve been champing at the bit to get
this. The kids have played their butts off for
ve straight games. Its unbelievable how well
theyve played. Pitching, defense, timely hits,
its incredible. Ive never seen them play bet-
ter.
The road to Titletown wasnt easy but Foster
City sure made it look that way. In ve games,
the black and teal outscored their opponents
32-6 and had to beat the reigning champions
twice.
Thats makes it extra sweet, Sutter said.
Ive been telling the boys earlier that, theyve
(Hillsborough) got the reputation. We want to
knock them off the mountain top. When we
were worried about who we were going to play
today, I said we want Hillsborough. We want
to beat the best. We knew theyre the best.
It feels good, Monozon said, because its
just been so hard through it all.
Monozon knows a little something about
overcoming adversity. On Saturday, the right
hander lasted only 30 pitches, failing to nd
his groove in a game against San Mateo
American.

C
al Hi Sports released its State
Schools of the Year Wednesday,
which ranks the top prep athletic
programs in California. Not surprisingly, a
team from the Peninsula Athletic League
failed to make the list, but there is still
plenty of interesting information about
high-school athletic programs with which
many fans are famil-
iar.
Heres just a few
interesting tidbits
about some of the
schools:
The overall State
School of the Year
was Concords De La
Salle, which any self-
respecting high
school sports fan
knows is one of the
top athletic programs
in the country. DLS
had ve teams ranked
in the top-10 in the state and won seven
North Coast Section Division I champi-
onships: football, cross country, boys soc-
cer, wrestling, boys basketball, baseball
and boys volleyball.
Since DLS is an all-boys school, it has
less teams competing. A coed school has
both boys and girls athletics factored into
the equation and the Spartans still came out
on top.
As if public school teams didnt already
dislike the Mitty girls athletic programs,
heres one more reason.
Cal Hi Sports selected the Monarchs as
the top girls athletic program in the state.
They won the Division II state basketball
championship, while the softball team n-
ished in the top 10 in the nation. They had
three other teams nish rst or second in
Central Coast Section championship
appearances and advanced to the seminals
in eld hockey and girls tennis, as well.

Shark sign SF Bulls as ECHL affiliate
SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks have
signed an afliation agreement with the San
Francisco Bulls of the ECHL for the 2012-13
season.
The agreement announced Wednesday
makes the Bulls the development afliate for
the teams inaugural season in San Francisco.
The Bulls will play their home games at the
Cow Palace, where the Sharks played their
rst two NHL seasons prior to moving to San
Jose in 1993.
The Worcester Sharks will still serve as San
Joses American Hockey League afliate.
Sharks assistant general manager Wayne
Thomas said in a statement that our organi-
zations share the same passion to put a strong,
competitive product on the ice, as well as
being an active member in our shared Bay
Area communities.
Steve Falk said. They had the nerves going.
So did I.
Foster City promptly loaded the bases again
in the top of the second. Despite pushing
across one run, it was unable to make it a big-
ger inning. Reece Gardon led off the inning
with a single and Kevin Callagy added a one-
out single. Tommy Ozawa also singled to load
the bases. Stewart came to the plate and drove
in one run with a single to center, but the
game-tying run was cut down at the plate and
Pacica escaped the inning clinging to a 2-1
lead.
Pacica gave itself some breathing room
with a three-run second, loading the bases for
the second time in as many innings. With one
out, Tyler Shaw and Falk singled, while
Harkness drew a walk to load the bases. Ricks
followed and on a 2-2 offering, smoked a shot
hard off the fence in center eld, missing a
grand slam by a couple of feet but driving in
a pair. Chris Rodriguezs sacrice y drove in
Harkness for what would turn out to be
Pacica Americans last run.
Thats because Pierce came on in relief and
shut down Pacica the rest of the way. He
retired 10 of the nal 11 batters he faced, with
only one Pacica base runner reaching by
virtue of a Foster City error.
[Pierce] pitched a heck of a game, Steve
Falk said.
Harkness also did a good job in limiting the
Foster City bats. The Pacica starter allowed
one run while scattering eight hits before
being relieved by Christian Falk with two outs
in the fourth.
Foster City got to Falk in the fth, scoring
twice. Jonathan Scoeld legged out an ineld
hit and with Aspillera at the plate, moved to
second on a wild pitch. He took third on
Aspilleras single and ended up scoring on a
second wild pitch in the inning. Zach Zeijeiro
drove in the other run with a groundout and
Foster City entered its last at-bat needing two
runs to extend the game.
There would be no miracle comeback as
Foster City went quietly in the top of the
sixth. It got the tying run to the plate after
Ozawa was hit by a pitch, but Falk got a
strikeout to end the game.
After losing 11-0 in four innings (to
Pacica American), we were determined to
come back and make a game of it, Callagy
said.

the sideline. She knew where players were
and where they should be. She helped us see
the game better certainly very soccer
smart.
After hitting the books and staying in game
shape, the midelder rejoined the team for a
huge game at Menlo-Atherton. It was a game
Aragon needed and won 1-0.
It was actually really emotional for me,
Rodrick said of that game. I really didnt
show it on the outside but I was really excited
to be on the eld again and play with them in
a game and not just in practice.
We were denitely more potent with her,
Colglazier said, adding there was no hesita-
tion to insert Rodrick into the lineup despite
missing the years initial stages. That game
denitely got her off on the right foot. It was-
nt just the stats for us, she was able to be a
nuisance to other teams, a player they had to
deal with. That obviously took their attention
away from our other quality players.
Rodrick said she took a lot of pride in being
the distributor for Aragon and its something
she hopes to bring to the Dominican team.
Personally, my goal is to become part of
the traveling squad, she said.
Its denitely becoming more of a tradi-
tion, Colglazier said of Aragon players mov-
ing on to play at the next level. We frame
their jerseys and keep them up in the team
room so its something the young girls look
up to. I think just by raising the bar, new girls
come through there and see what the opportu-
nities are.
The Penguins open their 2012 regular sea-
son schedule on Aug. 30 at home against
Humboldt State.

No deal for Magic center
The Miami Heat got two more shooters.
The Orlando Magic, at least for now, are
keeping their center.
A flurry of deals were completed
Wednesday and another one was put on hold
on the first day contracts could be signed in
the NBA.
Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis inked their
deals with the NBA champions, who will
rely on their perimeter accuracy to create
more space on the court for LeBron James
and Dwyane Wade.
The Spurs announced Tim Duncan was
staying in San Antonio and the Knicks com-
pleted a sign-and-trade to bring Marcus
Camby to New York. But theres no deal for
the best big man of them all in the NBA right
now.
The Magic cant find an agreement they
like for All-Star center Dwight Howard, who
has asked for a trade to Brooklyn. The
Magic have tried to accommodate, only to
find nothing from the Nets that fit their
desires.
Weve had discussions with Brooklyn,
weve had discussions with a host of differ-
ent teams about a host of different issues.
And the answer is, Yes
were still talking to
them, Magic general
manager Rob Hennigan
said. Were still looking
to do whatever it is that
puts us in the best posi-
tion from a sustainability
standpoint, (and) from a
strategic standpoint.
Currently as they
stand I think the parame-
ters that weve talked about are a little bit in
a stationary position. And currently as its
constructed Im not sure theres really any-
thing to discuss.
Instead, the Nets re-signed their current
center, Brook Lopez, to an extension. He
had been linked to the Howard trade talk for
months but knows he will at last begin the
season in Brooklyn, ineligible to be traded
until Jan. 15.
Free agency opened July 1 and teams were
able to begin signing players at 12:01 a.m.
EDT Wednesday. Deron Williams got a
quick start, signing his five-year, $98 million
extension with the Nets while in Las Vegas
for the U.S. Olympic teams training camp
right after the window opened.

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors are getting more
for Dorell Wright after all pending some last-minute paper-
work, of course.
The Warriors have agreed to send Wright to the Philadelphia
76ers in a three-team trade that will net guard Jarrett Jack from
the New Orleans Hornets, two people familiar with the deci-
sion said Wednesday.
The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to the
Associated Press because the trade is still being nalized, said
the Hornets will receive the 76ers draft rights to Edin Bavcic
of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a salary-slashing move that also
clears space in a crowded backcourt. Bavic is expected to
remain in Europe next season.
The original proposed trade had the Warriors receiving
Bavcic for Wright. Instead, the Hornets hopped in the mix to
acquire Bavcic and hand the Warriors the veteran guard
theyve wanted this offseason to play alongside Stephen Curry
and Klay Thompson.
The 6-foot-9 Wright is due about $4 million in the nal year
of his contract coincidentally negotiated by Warriors gener-
al manager Bob Myers, who is Wrights former agent. With so
many one-year deals, the Sixers are clearly aiming to have
plenty money available to deal in the 2013 free agent market.
Wright averaged 16.4 points and started all 82 games during
the 2010-11 season. He led the league in 3-pointers made
(194) and finished third in voting for the NBAs Most
Improved Player award behind Kevin Love and LaMarcus
Aldridge.
But his playing time slipped under rookie coach Mark
Jackson and so did his performance. Wright averaged 10.3
points and started 61 of 66 games during the lockout-shortened
season.
Jack averaged 15.6 points and 6.3 assists last season and
could challenge for the starting shooting guard spot held by
Thompson, the Warriors 11th overall pick in 2011. Jack also
gives the Warriors some depth with the often-injured Curry
recovering from his latest surgery on his right ankle.
Warriors send out Wright, bring in Jack

Serena Williams wins
first match at Bank of the West
STANFORD Four days after capturing
the singles title at Wimbledon, fourth-ranked
and top-seeded Serena Williams beat reigning
NCAA champion Nicole Gibbs 6-2, 6-1 in the
second round of the Bank of the West on
Wednesday.
Gibbs double-faulted on her rst serve and
then seemed to regain her composure and
played a number of strong points the rest of
the way.
Williams, who credited her win at Stanford
last year as rejuvenating her career, said it
took some time to adjust to the different con-
ditions between Wimbledon grass and
California hard court.
In other matches, fifth-seeded Yanina
Wickmayer of Belgian beat Heather Watson
of Britain 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 and sixth-seeded
Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa topped
wild card Michelle Larcher De Brito of
Portugal 6-3, 6-4.

In the press release, Cal His Mark Tennis
summed up Mittys domination: Regarded
as perhaps the best school for girls sports in
the nation.
Palo Alto picked up a Special Mention
by Cal Hi Sports. The Spartans featured
three of the top athletes in the state in volley-
ball player Melanie Wade, baseball player
B.J. Boyd who also starred on the Palo
Alto football team and swimmer Jane
Trosky, who not only dominated CCS, but
appeared in the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.

Turns out San Francisco Giants fans were
right when it came to the all-star voting,
much to the chagrin of the rest of the nation.
After a week of true baseball fans and
media griping about how San Francisco fans
stuffed the ballot to get Melky Cabrera,
Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey into the
starting lineup, the Giants representatives
stole the show in Tuesdays All-Star Game.
The trio combined to go 3 for 6 from the
plate, with ve RBIs, four runs scored, a
homer, a triple, a walk and zero strike-
outs.
Matt Cain went to the mound and made
National League manager Tony LaRussa
look like a genius, pitching two scoreless
innings of one-hit ball with a strikeout as the
Senior Circuit cruised to an 8-0 win over the
American League all-stars.
The only real question of the night was:
who should be MVP, Sandoval or Cabrera?
Sandoval laced a bases-loaded triple to
break the game wide open in the top of the
rst as the National League blasted Detroits
Justin Verlander he of the 101 mph fast-
ball.
Compare that to Cabrera, who started the
rst-inning rally with a one-out single, fol-
lowed by a two-run bomb in the top of the
fourth for the nal runs of the game.
Personally, I would have voted Sandoval
for the honor. His hit was more monumental
in the given situation and, in a game that
usually has very little in the way of drama,
there is nothing more dramatic than watching
a lumbering Sandoval hustle into a three-run
triple.
But I have no problem with Cabrera get-
ting the award. He had a breakout season in
Kansas City last year, site of all-star festivi-
ties, and is proving last year was not a uke
by continuing to be one of the best hitters in
baseball.
In the end, I believe sentiment coupled
with performance carried the day for
Cabrera.

A tip of the cap to Oakland Athletics all-
star selection Ryan Cook.
Hes the rookie who came to the As organ-
ization in the deal with Arizona that saw the
As send Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks
for heralded prospect Jarrod Parker.
Cook is not having a bad season himself
and Tuesday he proved he belongs in the
majors. Taking the mound in relief in the top
of the seventh, he pitched one inning, strik-
ing out a pair rookie phenom Bryce
Harper from the Washington Nationals and
Mets third baseman David Wright.
Both looking.

some point. Were going to need your arm
and tonight he stood up, Sutter said of
Monozon. Sixty pitches in six innings
against that team? Thats huge. Hes pitched a
bunch of big games for us. His season as it
were, has been up and down. Hes had a little
trouble mechanically getting him dialed to
where hes throwing downhill.
Monozon didnt look like a pitcher whos
struggled at times. In fact, the game started
with all the makings of a pitchers duel as
Hillsborough starter Justin Moore mowed
down Foster City in the rst, striking out the
side but using 27 pitches to do so.
Monozon came out in the rst and, after
surrendering a double to Henry James, got a
little help from his defense with a 4-3-5 dou-
ble play. The twin-killing was a sign of things
to come. The bottom of second ended in dou-
ble play fashion as well on a great catch in
right eld and subsequent throw to rst.
The Foster City bats awoke in the third.
Parker ORegan led off with a single and
Chris Fung followed with the rst of two huge
hits for the black and teal an opposite eld
double to left eld that set his team up with
two runners on with no one out.
Hes been doing that the whole tourna-
ment, Sutter said of Fung. Wherever the
pitch is thrown, he hits it.
Tommy Ghiroso drove in the rst run of the
game on a smash to shortstop and Kevin
Jacobs cashed in another run on a sacrice y
to right to make it 2-0.
Monozon made the lead stick in the third,
getting out of a potential two-run
Hillsborough on a pretty defensive play,
throwing from his knees to gun down a swing-
ing bunt attempt.
The former champs nally broke through in
the fourth after Moore stroked a one-out dou-
ble to left. He came around to score on a Trace
Tamarro elders choice to make it 2-1.
But with Hillsborough hanging on to this
new found momentum, it was Foster City who
quickly seized it right back. Ghiroso led the
bottom half of the fourth off with a home run
to left center eld to regain the two-run
advantage.
That two-run lead made [Hillsborough]
change their perspective, Sutter said,
because now they need two so theyre going
up there to swing for home runs [in the latter
innings]. It was huge.
With his offense staking him to that two-run
advantage, Monozon pitched brilliantly the
rest of the way, steering the long-awaiting
championship cruiser to Foster City shores.
I felt good, Monozon said. I got a little
wild at times, but I just made a few adjust-
ments and settled myself down. I wasnt hit-
ting my spots, so I had to nish down more
and just get a little more velocity on the ball.
My defense was great. They came up with I
needed them.
Leading the defensive charge to end the
game was ORegan, who made two great
plays at shortstop to top the championship
sundae with the proverbial cherry. With a run-
ner on, James smacked a ball up the middle
that ORegan snagged and ipped to second
for the pretty force out. Then, Moore lined a
ball to short that ORegan caught on the y
then threw to rst to get a wandering James
for the nal out.

Voeckler wins Tours 10th stage
Sports brief
Sharks re-sign
defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic
SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks have
signed defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic to a
ve-year contract extension through the 2017-
18 season.
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson says
Wednesday that the team extended Vlasic
because he can play in all situations and has
blossomed into a very trusted player on both
sides of the puck. He said the Sharks are
lucky to have him on our team for the next six
seasons.
The 25-year-old Vlasic led the Sharks with
171 blocked shots last season.
THE ASSOCIATED PRES
BELLEGARDE- SUR- VALSERI NE,
France Thomas Voeckler nearly opted out
of the Tour de France weeks ago because of an
injured knee. Two days before the start, he
was pained even more over allegations of dop-
ing by his French team.
On Wednesday, the crowd-pleasing
Frenchman gave his response by winning
the 10th stage.
An in-your-face, trash-talking atmosphere
dominated as riders entered the Alps on
Wednesday with Bradley Wiggins retaining
the yellow jersey by squashing attacks by
rivals one of whom complained that the
Briton wasnt being respectful.
The mood was decidedly sour before the
120.9-mile ride began along three hard
climbs, after Tuesdays rest day was marred
by an arrest by French police of a Codis team
rider over a Marseille doping probe.
Doping cases past and present have cast a
shadow over this Tour.
Voeckler, too, was burdened by the issue of
doping. Two days before the Tour start, a
French newspaper brought to light a previous-
ly unknown probe of his Europcar team on
allegations of improper use of a controlled
corticoid by its riders during last years Tour
a claim the team vigorously denies.
Some fans in Belgium, where the Tour start-
ed on June 30, booed Europcar riders follow-
ing the news.
Voecklers victory was really special
because we had criticism before the Tour,
because it really hurt me, he said. His victo-
ry is a part of my answer not my revenge
an answer to the critics.
SUBURBAN LIVING 17
COIT
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Tamara Schenke could use some help
enforcing city codes requiring the residents of
Belton, Mo., to maintain the appearance of
their property.
So the code enforcement ofcer recently
asked residents to volunteer to help her look
for properties with overgrown grass, junk or
debris on the lawn or signs of illegal home
occupation. Shes optimistic that residents
will volunteer for the new program, which
includes extensive training, because theyve
helped with smaller efforts in the past.
They jump on it, she said. They want to
see their neighborhood cleaned up.
She needs the extra sets of eyes because the
city laid off the other code enforcement ofcer
and the departments secretary a few years
ago. The cutbacks came at a time when fore-
closures and vacant homes were on the rise,
which created additional work for her and
code enforcement departments around the
country.
Schenke now handles about 2,500 code
enforcement cases each year. She hopes to
train 30 to 40 volunteers to assist her.
Cities around the country are turning to vol-
unteers for the same reasons as Schenke, said
Roy Fyffe, executive director of the American
Association of Code Enforcement.
The budget problems that jurisdictions are
facing have had a major impact on looking to
our citizens to help, he said from his ofce in
Tow, Texas.
When state budget cuts prevented the city of
Eastvale, Calif., from adding paid staff,
Michael Ozzie Osborn answered the call for
volunteers. Once hes trained, he said, he will
patrol the city looking for violations such as
boats parked in driveways, garbage cans left at
the curb or other eyesores.
Its important that the citizens of the city of
Eastvale abide by our municipal code, said
the retired engineer.
Concern for the communitys appearance
also led Steve Crull to enlist in Schenkes new
program. The Belton resident was already part
of a smaller program where residents with
professional training in code enforcement
could report violations.
Having worked as a building codes inspec-
tor, I knew that dCouring these times of budg-
et cuts one inspector was going to have a
rough time covering the whole city on a regu-
lar basis, Crull said. I believe that everyone
should take an interest in their surrounding
community. If for no other reason than derelict
properties and structures lower property val-
ues. But also a volunteer can observe the com-
ings and goings in the neighborhood and
report any more serious crimes.
Schenke hopes to have her program up and
running by the end of summer. The city has
already created a policy that protects the vol-
unteers while they perform their duties, she
said. She also has made provisions to prevent
volunteers from misusing their position; shell
make spot checks of the violations they report
to make sure they are legitimate, she said.
Before embarking on a volunteer program,
cities need to address liability issues, create a
training program and determine whether the
use of volunteers violates any labor contracts,
Fyffe said. (The issues) are going to vary
from state to state and community to commu-
nity, he said.
In Daytona Beach, Fla., volunteers recently
nished 20 hours of classroom training and
have begun to do ride-alongs with the profes-
sional code enforcement ofcers, said Hector
Garcia, head of code. The volunteers are look-
ing for inappropriate signs along the roadway,
unaddressed vandalism to houses and untend-
ed lawns.
Its not to replace my code ofcers, Garcia
said. Its just a helping hand.
Program participants will be assigned to
patrol neighborhoods other than their own, so
Enforcers of housing codes seek volunteer help
See CODE, Page 18
Cities around the country are asking residents to volunteer to help look for properties with
overgrown grass, junk or debris on the lawn or signs of illegal home occupation.

they are not in the position of reporting on
their neighbors, he said. And the volunteers
are not to interact with other residents or busi-
ness owners anyhow during the course of their
work, he said. All contact with the public is to
be made through the department.
Many of the programs allow volunteers only
to observe violations and report back to paid
staff, added Donna Wisniewski, president of
the American Association of Code
Enforcement and a code officer with the
Seminole County Sheriffs Ofce in Florida,
which does not use volunteers for code matters.
Volunteers can check properties to see if
owners have mowed their grass, removed
trash or inated the tires on parked vehicles,
she said. They also can be on the lookout for
possible violations while they are out and
about in their neighborhoods, she said.
Were not able to get out in every neighbor-
hood every day, she said.
Volunteers typically like the work because
they can make a tangible difference in the
community, Wisniewski said.
They can say, I turned that over to code
enforcement and it got taken care of, she
said.
CODE
law and practice guiding student enrollment
tends to favor the continuing student, based
solely on accrual of course units.
Locally, the San Mateo County Community
College District already has many of the
requested changes in place. The challenge will
be shifting money around to continue services
as funding continues to slip, said Jennifer
Hughes, vice president of student services at
the College of San Mateo.
Hughes said many colleges, including those
in San Mateo County, already offer priority
enrollment as well as many of the additional
services being proposed. Should the proposal
be approved, and Hughes believes it will be,
the district will have two years to work out
any needed changes.
The proposal would give priority for new
students who have completed college orienta-
tion, assessment and developed education
plans as well as continuing students in good
academic standing who have not exceeded
100 units, not including units in basic English,
math or English as a Second Language.
In addition, active-duty military and veter-
ans and former foster youth in good academic
standing who have completed orientation,
assessment and education plans will continue
to have rst call on courses, followed by stu-
dents in extended opportunity programs and
services and disabled students programs and
services who have done the same.
With statewide budget cuts, changes are
being suggested since the focus for school
offerings has shifted to meeting academic and
training needs instead of offering opportuni-
ties for others to enrich their education. The
San Mateo County Community College
District, for example, previously set priorities
to focus funds for classes helping students
earn a degree rather than explore an interest. It
also canceled courses with low enrollment as
funds have been cut decisions district of-
cials have said allow for the focus to remain
on students attempting to earn a degree or job
training.
Another change could impact lifelong
learners. A rule that could go into effect in the
fall 2013 would prevent students from repeat-
ing a course that they have already completed
and earned a passing grade. Some classes
like performing arts and physical education
could be repeated as many as four times.
Committees are already in place to deal
with the changes needed to make any needed
changes, said Hughes. The difculty will con-
tinue to be funding the services. District of-
cials will need to continue to be creative when
it comes to meeting needs while cuts contin-
ue, she said.

dancing or tables and chairs. The city esti-
mates having 1,200 to 1,500 people based on
attendance at the existing summer concerts
and also expects uses including movies in the
park, childrens theater performances and
smaller gigs like puppet and magic shows.
The park already has basketball courts but
the foundation wants to add a colorful overlay
along with new backboards.
The design also includes two standard-size
bocce ball courts with a storage shack and
shaded seating.
One way to raise the green for the upgrades
is the second annual Symphony at Sunset to
be held Burton Park Saturday, July 21. The
event, which costs $50 for an individual tick-
et, will feature orchestral music performed by
the St. Peters Chamber Orchestra and culi-
nary delicacies provided by local venues and
wine available for purchase.
Burton Park is the oldest of the citys
developed parks, heavily used year-round for
a wide range of activities and housing both
the citys teen center and Kiwanis Recreation
Center. There are also horseshoe pits, a base-
ball diamond, tennis courts and walking
path.
In 2008, the park received its first facelift.
The star of that $850,000 undertaking was
the first fully inclusive playground in San
Mateo County compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities Act with ramp
access, a rubbery safety surface and perime-
ter fencing which is good for children who
run outside of boundaries like those with
autism. The city celebrated this phase with
an Oct. 23, 2008 ribbon cutting, marking
the end of a two-year process.
Symphony at Sunset will be held 6:15 p.m.
Saturday, July 21. Music will begin at 7:15
p.m. Tickets start at $50 and are available
online at www.prfsancarlos.org/symphony/.

I
ts a frustrating fact for all but the luck-
iest gardener: Your luscious vegetable
garden, freshly potted ower boxes and
newly laid sod are irresistible to furry pests
who live in your neighborhood. Raccoons
rip apart your lawn looking for grubs.
Gophers nosh on the roots of ornamental
plants as they tunnel along underground.
Squirrels take big bites of perfectly ripe
apricots and then audaciously toss the half-
eaten fruit on the ground.
How to thwart these unwelcome visitors?
The UC Davis Agriculture and Natural
Resources (ANR) Division, home to the
statewide Master Gardener program, offers
the public detailed information on the best
ways to manage various vertebrate pests
through its Pest Notes, which are avail-
able online. (See the entire list of available
Pest Notes at
https://ucanr.org/freepubs/freepubsub.cfm?c
at=6).
Here are some general guidelines for ban-
ishing masked bandits and other unwelcome
visitors to the garden:
An ounce of prevention
The first step isnt to reach for poison or
a pellet gun but instead to make your yard
and garden inhospitable to pests.
Admittedly, with some critters gophers
and moles, for example there isnt a lot
you can do to bar access to your landscape
once they have moved in. Still, try preven-
tion first. With raccoons, this means not
leaving pet food outside, installing a spark
cover over the top of the chimney (raccoons
like to build dens in chimneys) and using
garbage cans with tight-fitting lids. It also
helps to tie the cans to a post or build a rack
in which they can be placed, so that rac-
coons cant knock them over.
Raccoons scoff at fences, but youll get
their attention if you electrify the fence. Its
important to do this properly, of course, and
to post warning signs on the fence.
Prevention techniques for dealing with
gophers include installing underground
fencing using hardware cloth or poultry
wire (Check the Pest Note on gophers for
details on how to do this).
What about repellents?
No doubt youve heard people say you
can ward off pests using pretty unorthodox
methods: scattering mothballs around the
perimeter of the garden; or installing
devices that move, make noise, flash lights
or spray water.
Some gardeners swear such techniques
work. Unfortunately there is no solid evi-
dence that any of these tricks are effective
or effective for more than a few days, at
which point smart pests learn that they can
safely ignore the whirling and flashing and
stink of mothballs, and continue treating
your lawn and garden as all-you-can-eat buf-
fets.
Using traps and poison
If you have done everything to keep pests
away, and the damage they are causing is
unbearable, you can kill them using traps or
poison.
What you cannot do is trap them and then
release them in another area unless you
have written permission from the California
Fish and Game
Department.
You can
trap
and
kill raccoons, but this is something best han-
dled by a professional wildlife control person
(Raccoons are strong and can be vicious
when cornered). State law prohibits poison-
ing raccoons.
There are traps and toxic baits for use on
gophers.
There are different rules for eliminating
ground squirrels and tree squirrels. Most
species of ground squirrels can be killed any
time of year using any legal manner. Most
species of tree squirrels can only be killed
during hunting season (The exception is the
red fox tree squirrel, which can be taken at
any time by any legal manner). Check the
Pest Notes for more information.
Whatever method you choose, please
make sure you follow the proper proce-
dures, especially when using poison. The
Pest Notes do a great job of explaining
exactly what you need to do to safely
and effectively use traps and
baits.
Learn how to deal with rac-
coons, gophers, squirrels, deer,
rats and mice by reading the UC
Davis ANR Pest Notes on each.

virus that expedited the districts expan-
sion and review to allow a funding source
through an assessment. Now, there are pro-
grams and a stable revenue source so the
county would not be burdened by taking it
back.
Theres no way to really say the 21-
member board is responsible for its suc-
cess any more than a ve-member Board
of Supervisors. The funding stream is what
makes it successful, Poyatos said.
Cities are also jumping into the fray on
both ends. The San Bruno City Council
this week voted to send LAFCo a letter
supporting the district. The San Carlos
City Council sent a letter endorsing the
dissolution recommendation. Its district
board member originally brought the
alleged embezzlement to light. Assistant
City Manager Brian Moura said the city
has also received several requests from
other cities for the background information
it compiled before then-mayor Andy Klein
asked the San Mateo County Civil Grand
Jury to investigate. The civil grand jury did
not take up the issue because its docket
was full.
District Manager Bob Gay has asked
San Carlos leaders for a sit-down some-
time before the LAFCo meeting in hopes
of reconsideration.
LAFCo also received letters opposing
dissolution from ve San Bruno residents.
The LAFCo report up for discussion at
the July 18 meeting concluded that the dis-
trict effectively controls mosquitoes and
other vermin but its boards size and meth-
ods of appointment constrain accounta-
bility, visibility and responsiveness to the
public. The county could provide the dis-
tricts services much as it does other envi-
ronmental health programs because it is
already structured to deliver segregated
services like restaurant inspection and
water quality monitoring, according to the
report.
The county once handled rodent respon-
sibilities but transferred them to the district
in 2008 and shifted all vector control three
years later.
But district ofcials say mosquito and
vector control duties would get lost in the
countys large Health System, becoming
one of several areas all competing for
funding and attention. The districts
approximately $6 million annual budget
would be 1/2,000th of the countys gener-
al fund budget and be at risk for the chop-
ping block, Cassman and the district con-
tend.
District ofcials also point out that it is
only one of several incidents of embezzle-
ment or fraud by public employees in the
Bay Area and San Mateo County in partic-
ular.
For instance, the former head of the
Half Moon Bay Police Officers
Association is charged with embezzling
$5,700 in 2008, two former county pub-
lic administrators were charged in feder-
al court last month with stealing from the
estates they oversaw, a former Portola
Valley Elementary School District super-
intendent is charged with embezzle-
ments, theft was alleged at the Mid-
Peninsula Water District and two San
Mateo County Transit District mechanics
are charged with stealing fare money.
In the mosquito districts case, between
2009 and 2011, former nance director
Joanne Seeney, worked for the district
under the name Jo Ann Dearman.
Prosecutors who eventually led charges
say she and accounting assistant Vika
Sinipata embezzled at least $650,000 by
giving themselves extra pay at a higher
rate and fraudulent time off, excessively
contributed to their deferred compensation
funds, used credit cards for personal pur-
chases and electronically transferred
money into their own accounts. The
alleged embezzlement came to light last
year when a district board member from
San Carlos questioned expenses in the dis-
tricts pesticide account. At the time of
Seeneys employment, she had been pros-
ecuted in two different embezzlement
cases and served time for one while on
medical leave from the district.
Gay had not conducted either a criminal
nor reference check on Seeney before her
hiring. After the alleged embezzlement
came to light, the board put Gay on an
employee improvement plan. The board
also extended his contract.
The district has since hired Orange
County internal auditor Dr. Peter Hughes
to comb through its nancial controls and
he is expected to attend the upcoming
LAFCo meeting to detail the implemented
changes.
The district has also created an assistant
manager position to oversee two nancial
staff members and requires criminal
checks of prospective employees.

on legal charges or expelled from local dis-
tricts? While the report acknowledged
those working in court and community
schools have signicant challenges, the
report also noted the programs could be
improved upon. Increasing success can be
achieved through consolidating three cam-
puses, creating a method for tracking stu-
dent success and considering entering an
accreditation process, according to the
reports recommendations.
We appreciate the time and energy the
grand jury has invested in learning about
our court and community schools pro-
gram. We believe these recommendations
validate our ongoing work and will
increase community awareness regarding
the unique and complex needs of this par-
ticular group of students, County
Superintendent Anne Campbell wrote in a
press release.
The San Mateo County Ofce of
Education is responsible for educating
juveniles detained at the Youth Services
Center for criminal offenses, as well as stu-
dents expelled from school districts within
the county. That includes three community
schools located in South San Francisco,
San Mateo and Redwood City. Two of the
schools employ one teacher and one
instructional aide each while the third, on
Tower Road in San Mateo, has four teach-
ers and three instructional aides. In total,
about 290 students are served at any given
time but about 1,500 students are served
throughout the school year due to the tran-
sient nature of students in these circum-
stances, according to the report.
Consolidating services and offering bus
services from the other two schools to the
centralized area could allow for better
service to students, according to the report.
In addition, the report suggested creating a
method of gauging success by tracking
student credits earned or successful com-
pletion of the General Education
Development test.
Joan Rosas, associate superintendent of
student services for the County Ofce of
Education, said the county plans to open
one consolidated campus in the fall.
Previously, the campuses were often
linked to Boys and Girls Club locations
which offered a number of benets for
after-school programs. However, it made
nding qualied teachers difcult. In the
fall, a newly revamped, centralized pro-
gram will open with a more traditional
high school setting in which students will
go from class to class. Specialized needs of
students will continue to be met, she said.
High turnover and a range of student
needs create a challenge in terms of nd-
ing qualied teachers. The report found 20
percent of teachers in the community
schools would be considered highly qual-
ied during the 2010-11 school year. The
County Ofce of Education said that has
risen to 50 percent in the most recent
school year and is expected to increase to
80 percent in the 2012-13 school year.
Following student success has been a
challenge because of the high student
turnover.
The court and community schools staff
is working to create an internal database to
augment existing data management sys-
tems, according to a press release.
In the coming year, the county will
begin to collect more data such as how
many units a student earns and what books
are read while in a county-run school.
Lastly, the county will track where a stu-
dent goes after leaving back to his or
her home district, completing a GED or
possibly entering college, said Rosas.
The schools are currently not accredited
and the county is preparing work to start
that process. Accreditation, Rosas said,
will give students an option to go directly

THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre smart, you
wont gamble with friends, even for insignifcant
stakes. Theres a chance that a big misunderstanding
could arise over something rather petty.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Devote your time and atten-
tion to situations that could make or save you money.
Time and attention devoted to these factors will yield
large profts down the line.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Provided you dont tip
your hand prematurely, a signifcant objective can be
achieved. Remember the competitors lurking in the
wings who would love to know your plans.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Give no credence to
advice offered you by someone whom you know
doesnt have an accurate handle on what youre do-
ing. This individuals intentions may be good, but his
or her counsel isnt.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When it comes to a
partnership arrangement, let your cohort do all the
talking. There is a strong chance your two cents
worth could be the wrong thing at the wrong time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The possibilities
for achieving your ambitions and objectives look
pretty good, even though you might have to contend
with some petty frustrations on your road to victory.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although youre
likely to be painfully aware of the faws in others,
itll serve no useful purpose to call attention to them.
Instead, work on your own shortcomings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You might fnd it nec-
essary to make a small concession in a commercial
matter in order to reap some larger gains. Youll
understand that nothing is ever optimal.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If the work youre
doing requires extreme diligence, have another
double-check your efforts, especially details that
have to be put in writing. You could easily miss a
small oversight.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont settle for sticker
price when youre out shopping for something that is
more money than you want to pay. With a little pok-
ing around, youll fnd a good substitute at a much
lower price.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When conversing with
friends, avoid discussing subjects that are much
too personal to share with everybody. Focus on fun
things that allow everyone to relax.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- One of your greatest
obstacles is allowing self-defeating thoughts to
overwhelm your thinking. You can control anything
you set your mind to, and that includes avoiding all
things negative.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Bradford Louie
Case Number 122477
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Bradford Louie. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Calvin
Louie in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Calvin Louie be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This
athourity will allow the personal repre-
sentative to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be re-
quired to give notice to interested per-
sons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 15, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
