The girls of summer


Generations of Girl Scouts work toward future, while getting back to nature
By Dave Newlands
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

A woman by the name of


Jackrabbit announced that it was
time for drama and a group of gradeschool girls flocked toward a roughhewn stage in the shade of an evergreen grove.
One girl strayed to a log bench with
a handful of treasures, confiding, Im
going to put these here so I dont lose
them, OK?

On the bench, she carefully placed a


half-finished macrame lanyard and a
piece of redwood bark sprouted with
bright green lichen.
It was a scene of childhood joy that
could only exist at camp, and it is a
scene that has played out innumerable
times this summer in Huddart Park
where the local Girl Scouts have been
hosting their annual camps, encouraging girls of all ages to explore nature,
enjoy the simple pleasures of arts and
crafts, make new friends, and learn to

become the leaders of tomorrow.


The Girl Scouts have been camping
at Huddart Park for decades, which,
incidentally, is beyond recorded history.
This is my 37th year, so let me start
the year before that at 38, said Camp
Director Genella Williamson, who

Volunteers who helped remodel Safe Harbor Shelter in South San Francisco attended an open house Wednesday.

Homeless shelter gets makeover


Dozens of volunteers spruce up Safe Harbor Shelter in South San Francisco
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Safe Harbor Shelter in South San


Francisco got a $100,000 makeover
thanks to the support of dozens of volunteers.
The shelter, operated by Samaritan
House, has new paint, new storage
space, new bicycle racks, a new kitchenette and a station where the shelters
clients can display and shop for
clothes.
Safe Harbor provides emergency
shelter for about 100 homeless individuals at a time. It serves about 400
individuals annually, some who are
sheltered for up to seven months as

they transition back into society.


The remodel was made possible by
the Housing Industry Foundations
Shelter Renovation Program.
We wanted to make the shelter more
dignified for those who stay here,
said Meta Townsley, HIFs executive
director.
She thanked the many volunteers
who finished working on the project
Wednesday prior to an open house.
You get your hands dirty and make a
difference, Townsley said.
Many of the volunteers are employees of Wells Fargo, which presented
HIF with a $10,000 check at the open
house.
Although the price tag for the remod-

el was $100,000, Townsley said much


of the cost was offset by contributions
from companies such as Varsity
Painting,
BellaVista Landscape
Services and AquaTek Plumbing among
many others.
There was no cost to Samaritan
House.
Safe Harbor helps lift people out of
poverty and gives them a life of hope
and self reliance, said Bart Charlow,
executive director of Samaritan House.
The open house was attended by former assemblyman Gene Mullin, Pam
Frisella, a 25-year Samaritan House
volunteer and former Foster City

Voters in San Mateo County will primarily vote by mail


in this Novembers general election under a pilot program
made possible by legislation drafted by Assemblyman
Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco.
The last jurisdiction in the county to vote on whether to
participate in the pilot program, the Jefferson Elementary
School District board, approved so Wednesday night.
It was the last of 40 jurisdictions in the county with
planned elections this fall to vote on participating. The
Redwood City Council voted to participate Monday night.
The program will hopefully increase voter turnout, produce faster results, reduce risk of error and decrease elections
costs, Mark Church, San Mateo Countys chief elections
officer and assessor-county clerk-recorder, said previously.

Five men arrested in $2 million
methamphetamine ring bust
LOS ANGELES California
Attorney General Kamala Harris says
five men suspected of having connections to Mexicos notorious Sinaloa
drug cartel have been arrested for
allegedly trafficking 55 pounds of
methamphetamine with a street value
of $2 million.
The arrests were announced Thursday.
Authorities say two of the five were
arrested in an Ontario parking lot earlier this month when they attempted to
deliver a partial shipment of the drug to
an undercover agent they thought was a
buyer.
The others were arrested during
another delivery attempt.
They were jailed in San Bernardino
County on $500,000 bail.
Authorities say deliveries were negotiated with cartel representatives in
Mexico and the United States.
Harris says California is the gateway
for 70 percent of the methamphetamine
trafficked to the United States from
Mexico.

Monsoonal flow brings


thunderstorms to parts of state
LOS ANGELES Scattered thunderstorms unleashed fierce downpours, and
showers hit elsewhere around Southern
California on Thursday as July began
wrapping up with another blast of the
unusually humid weather that has
marked the normally very dry month.
A significant surge of monsoon
moisture and atmospheric instability
set the stage for the dramatic thunderheads that boiled up over rugged mountain ranges amid otherwise sunny, blue
skies across the metropolitan regions.
Flash-flood warnings were issued for
northwestern Los Angeles County,
northwestern Ventura County, northcentral Santa Barbara County, and
southern San Bernardino County, the
National Weather Service said.
Doppler radar estimated as much as 2
1/2 inches of rain in parts of eastern
Santa Barbara County and nearly 2
inches in northern Ventura County.
Areas including Cuyama, western
Lockwood Valley and Ventucopa were
warned to expect flooding.
In the inland desert region east of Los
Angeles, a flash-flood warning was
issued as more than an inch of rain fell
near Joshua Tree. Warned communities
included Twentynine Palms and the
nearby Marine Corps base, Yucca
Valley and Landers.
Meteorologists warned drivers not to
attempt to cross flooded roads.

Corte Madera marathon swimmer


Simon Dominguez was trying to swim
about 28 miles when his teen daughter,
in a support boat, spotted the great
white just 3 1/2 miles from his goal,
KPIX-TV reported Thursday.
After 18 hours in the frigid ocean, he
reluctantly climbed into his support
boat as the 12-to-15-foot shark circled
it.
Out of the water, the 49-year-old,
blood streaming down his chest from
chafed skin around his neck, said he
was disappointed that he didnt finish
the swim.
It was hard. But a shark is a shark,
Dominguez said.
Four swimmers have swum from the
Farallon Islands to San Francisco, but
Dominguez would have been the first to
make the trip in the other direction.
The islands are a breeding ground for
great whites. But Dominguez said he
decided to make the attempt in the summer before breeding season normally
begins in the fall.
The 240-pound swimmer jumped into
the cold ocean and began the swim
under the Golden Gate Bridge Tuesday
night, wearing only a cap, goggles,
swimsuit and a thick coat of grease to
guard against jelly fish stings and keep
him a little warmer in the 50-degree
water.
After giving up the swim, he said his
only plans at the moment were to go
straight to the pub, have a few beers
and decide what the next steps are.

San Bruno foundation probes project costs


Group developing spending strategy for PG&E explosion restitution fund
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As San Bruno residents build a wish list


targeting how to spend the roughly $70
million in restitution funds granted by
Pacific Gas and Electric in the wake of the
2010 gas pipeline explosion, a vision of
how much money those projects might cost
is becoming more clear.
According to cost estimations presented
to the San Bruno Community Foundation
Board of Directors by architecture professionals Wednesday, July 29, the construction price of various capital projects desired
by residents exceeds the foundations budget.
The foundation, which is the group
charged with deciding how to best allocate
the $68.75 million granted after the tragedy
that killed eight people and injured 66, has
some hard decisions lying ahead as board
members consider crafting a spending strategy, said Executive Director Leslie
Hatamiya.
Residents have asked for projects which
could cost between $133 million and $166
million by 2019, or the time frame by
which they could realistically be built,
according to a projection by Anderson Brule
Architects, of San Jose.
During an extensive public outreach campaign, residents expressed interest in the
foundation fund being used to build a new
library, recreation center, indoor swimming
pool, fire station and improved park and
public spaces, among other projects.
We are well above $70 million, said
Hatamiya. Some tough choice are going to
be have to be made.
According to estimations by the firm, by
2019, it could cost between $37.2 million

and $47. 5 million to build a library;


between $30.5 million and $39.9 million
for a recreation center; between $8.3 million and $10 million for a swimming pool;
between $13 million and $15.9 million for
a fire station; and between $22 million and
$50 million for improvements to city parks
and sports fields.
The foundation made no decision whether
to pursue a certain project, but board members felt it was necessary to understand a
general estimation of what the construction
prices might be, said Hatamiya.
As part of our planning process, we had
to get a better handle on how much these
projects cost, she said.
Architect Pamela Anderson Brule said the
cost models her firm provided are general
estimations based on previously constructed projects which serve communities similar to San Bruno, and prices can be affected
by the size, quality and timing of the developments.
This is a tool that will really help you
begin to frame things and understand them
better, she said.
Board President Nancy Kraus emphasized
the prices of projects in Anderson Brules
presentation were only used to give board
members and the community a baseline for
estimating costs.
This is extremely preliminary, she said.
Its just a ballpark.
Hatamiya said the foundation needs to
consider the projected building costs
against other potential investment strategies for the fund, which include possibly
establishing an endowment, or running
grant and scholarship programs.
Next month, the foundation is expecting
to receive a presentation from an investment strategist, to offer a detailed illustration of how to coordinate such programs,

and how much money might be required,


said Hatamiya.
A substantial investment to establish an
endowment could offer the foundation lasting benefits, but would have a profound
impact on how much money would be left
over for capital projects, said Hatamiya.
Time is of the essence though, stressed
Hatamiya, as construction costs are expected to increase in coming years, so the board
and community should work quickly in
charting a strategy for spending the fund.
After a few months of community outreach, board conversations, wish list building and cost identification, Hatamiya said
her role in leading the foundation is becoming more enthralling as officials are preparing to begin spending some of the fund.
Its really exciting, because we are now
starting to see what we really can do, she
said. It is getting to be more concrete.
As the foundation looks to consider
potential capital projects, a close partnership with city officials and administrators
in the school district is necessary, since
those agencies would be responsible for
operating the new facilities, said Hatamiya.
Those agencies, and others, could also
partner with the foundation in further developing opportunities for grant writing,
which would address community needs in
San Bruno as well, she said.
Hatamiya said considering all contributing factors is necessary to develop a possible vision for spending the fund toward the
long-term benefit of San Bruno.
This is all the framework for thinking
about a strategy, she said.
The fund that the foundation controls is
distinct and separate from the $50 million
trust agreement to specifically benefit the
Crestmoor neighborhood, which suffered
the brunt of the blast.

City Council to rescind ordinances per citizens referendum, consider next steps
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In the wake of a citizens referendum calling for Belmonts controversial home


remodel amendments to be repealed or put
on a ballot, the City Council will host a
special meeting to discuss the next steps
after a lengthy meeting this month stirred
more concerns.
The council was required to rescind
changes to the citys Zoning and Tree ordinances after the group Ask Belmont
Citizens gathered more than 2,200 signatures on two petitions outlining concerns
about the citys process and tackling nearly
40 amendments at once.
Some councilmembers say they repealed
the ordinance while introducing a different
one at the July 14 meeting that lasted until
nearly 1:30 a.m. Opponents, however, have
grown concerned that their efforts were
being dismissed and the process they were
against was continuing.
Now, the City Council will meet Monday
to vote on separate ordinances that explicitly repeal the original changes and possibly
consider how to proceed with crafting new
amendments while balancing citizens concerns and needs.
A lot of people in Belmont seem to feel
that they did not have the opportunity to
provide input. So were trying to make sure
everyone understands that they do have an
opportunity. We need to respect the fact that
2,000 people signed a petition that said
they would like to have more input, so now
were going to give them the opportunity to
have more input, Councilman Warren
Lieberman said.
Thus far, the council has agreed to issue a
citywide mailer with various meeting dates
as well as question and answer sessions for
the community to meet with staff. There will
also be public hearings before the Planning
and Parks and Recreation commissions, as
well as the council.
But some members of the citizens group
remain wary that the councils former

process will continue and they seek a different approach. According to a letter sent to
the council, the group wants an advisory
committee that includes residents, a prioritization of needs after conducting an analysis
of
Belmont
property
data,
the
revisions to
be categorized by rele v a n c e
instead of as
one large

and more

My concern is that

is way out

electorate,

member of
the citizens
group who
helped gather
signatures. Very

Rebound for U.S. economy


sets stage for Fed rate hike
By Martin Crutsinger

WASHINGTON The U. S. economy


isnt moving at warp speed, but it looks

Fueled by solid consumer spending,
Thursdays report on the gross domestic

is likely to bolster the Federal Reserves
case that it will soon be time to make a
move, perhaps in September.

The fact that the economy improved

on the table, said Sal Guatieri, senior

While the latest figures fall short of a
boom, the United States appears in better
shape than other major economics of the
world. China the worlds secondbiggest economy has seen a sharp drop
in stock prices recently. Meanwhile,
Europe has been consumed with resolving
a stubborn debt crisis in Greece.
The International Monetary Fund is forecasting that the 19 nations that use the
euro currency will grow a modest 1.5 percent this year. It expects China to expand
6.8 percent, which would be the slowest
growth rate for the country in 25 years.

SACRAMENTO Californias unprecedented system of mandatory conservation


imposed on cities got off to a strong start
with water use plunging 27 percent in June,
regulators said Thursday.
Data released by the State Water Resources
Control Board showed 265 of 411 local
agencies in California hit or nearly reached
savings targets.
The governor ordered cities to reduce water
use by 25 percent to prepare in case
Californias four-year drought persists.
The savings came during the hottest June
on record, which would normally lead to an
uptick in water use. Prior savings have
occurred during unusually wet months
The June numbers tell a story of conscious conservation, and thats what we
need and are applauding today, said Felicia

Marcus, chairwoman of the water board. We


need to save as much as possible. That is
water essentially in the bank for a future dry
year or more.
The report confirmed figures previously
released by Californias largest cities,
including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose
and San Francisco, showing strong water
conservation.
The agencies that met or came within 1
percent of their mandatory water conservation target serve 27 million Californians.
Under water board regulations for mandatory water savings, communities have nine

Scientist: Oil slick likely from


a natural seafloor seepage
By Christopher Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Coast Guard officials were still trying


to determine the source of a mysterious miles-long oil slick
off Californias Santa Barbara County shoreline, but a scientist said Thursday that its likely the result of naturally
occurring seepage from the sea floor.
Authorities said the 3-mile sheen was harmless to people
and beaches remained open in contrast to the mass closure that occurred in May when a broken pipeline spilled
100,000 gallons of crude oil, fouling sands, seabirds and
fishing areas in the same general area.
The oil is floating in the Santa Barbara Channel above
the Coal Oil Point seep field, a region known for releasing
methane and also about 100 barrels of liquid petroleum per
day, said Jordan Clark, professor of earth science and environmental studies at University of California, Santa
Barbara.
Its not uncommon for even larger amounts of oil to be
occasionally burped from the sea floor, he said, noting
that Spanish explorers first documented the natural seepage
centuries ago. Its one of the largest seep fields in the
world, he said.
If you fly in to Santa Barbara airport you can often see
slicks on the water out there. Its reasonable for a slick this
size to be spotted in the seepage area of Coal Oil Point,
Clark said. He called the size of the sheen relatively
insignificant and agreed with Coast Guard officials who
predicted it would likely dissipate in a day or two.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Andrea Anderson said samples
were sent to labs after the slick was reported by kayakers
Wednesday about 1,000 yards off the city of Goleta.
Officials were hoping to find out if the oil was from seepage, crude extraction operations or from another source.
There was no word when the results might come back.
Its going to be a waiting game, she said. We hope to
rule some things out, as far as the source goes. Is it natural,
is it not natural?

School bond coming


before Redwood City voters

Local briefs

A bond taxing homeowners $30 per


$100,000 of assessed home value will be
floated to Redwood City residents in the
upcoming fall election.
The Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees unanimously
approved Wednesday, July 29, putting the
bond on the ballot.
The $193 million slated to be generated
by the tax will be spent toward renovating
and modernizing campuses throughout the
district, according to a district press release.
I believe this measure is essential for our
students to help them prepare for success in
our competitive, 21st century world, said
Superintendent John Baker.
To gain approval, 55 percent of district
voters would need to support it.
In addition to buying and installing new
technology, revenue from the bond would
be used to fix infrastructure such as roofs,
plumbing and heating systems and make
buildings more seismically sound.

Man who allegedly killed co-worker


in Burlingame appears in court
A man who allegedly stabbed a co-worker
to death outside a Burlingame office building earlier this month was charged with
murder Tuesday after being caught in
Sacramento last week.
He was in court Thursday to have a private
defender appointed to represent him and to
enter a plea but the case was continued until
Aug. 3, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
Rodney ONeil Williams, a 28-year-old
San Francisco man, was arrested by the U.S.
Marshals Service and Sacramento police at a
Sacramento residence Friday after a more
than two-week long investigation, according to Burlingame police.
His bail is set at $50 million.

Police said Williams


stabbed 28-year-old Neil
Lewis during a fight outside an office complex
on the 1800 block of
Gilbreth Road just before
6 p.m. July 7.
Williams and Lewis

The men had apparently been dropped off
to pick up a rental car near Gilbreth Road
when they began to argue about Williams
girlfriend. Although police dont believe
Lewis and the woman were ever actually
involved, it appeared to have sparked the
fatal altercation, according to prosecutors.
Witnesses told police they saw two men
fighting on the sidewalk in front of the
building before one of them fell to the
ground and the other fled in a red sedan.
Lewis was found suffering multiple stab
wounds and was taken to San Francisco
General Hospital where he died about 40
minutes later, police said.

Court rejects San Francisco


lawsuit after gas line blast
A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit from San Francisco officials alleging
that a federal agency failed to ensure
enforcement of safety standards for gas
pipelines like the one that exploded in San
Bruno.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Thursday upheld a lower court ruling dismissing San Franciscos suit against the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.
The lawsuit came in response to the fatal
2010 pipeline explosion in San Bruno. The
city accused the pipeline safety administration of arbitrarily approving a state commissions pipeline safety certification and
failing to determine whether the commission was adequately enforcing federal
pipeline safety standards.
The city said it was worried about the
pipelines in its ground.
The 9th Circuit said the agency had wide
discretion over certification decisions.
A call to the San Francisco city attorneys
office was not immediately returned.

Congress heading
on vacation and put
off messy decisions
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Congress is heading


out for a five-week summer recess in anything but a cheerful vacation mood, leaving
behind a pile of unfinished business that all
but guarantees a painful fall.
Not long after they return in September,
lawmakers must vote on President Barack
Obamas nuclear deal with Iran, a brutally
divisive issue that many lawmakers expect
will dominate voter town halls during their
annual August break.
And, as more videos emerge showing disturbing fetal tissue collection practices,
Republicans are increasingly focused on
cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood,
raising the prospect that Congress will
spend September tied in knots over how to
avoid shutting down the government over
that issue.
Later in the fall or winter, Congress will

have to raise the federal debt limit, another


issue ripe for brinkmanship, especially
given the presence in the Senate of several
presidential candidates adamantly opposed
to an increase.
The House wrapped up its summer session
by approving only a three-month extension of highway and transit spending and
authority, kicking negotiations on that
into the fall, as well.
Add in deadlines to renew authorities for
the Federal Aviation Administration, child
nutrition standards and pipeline safety, and
its shaping up as a monster of a fall.
If you take a look at all of the things on
the list, itll be a lot of traffic going
through one toll booth, Sen. John
Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Thursday.
Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney of
South Carolina, who leads a group of 18
conservatives vowing to oppose any
spending bill that funds Planned
Parenthood, says, This is one of those

line-in-the-sand-type of issues.
We have to figure out a way to fund the
government without giving any more
money to this institution.
The effort could prevent leaders from
extending current spending levels come the
new budget year Oct. 1, since Planned

Parenthood now receives more than $500


million in government assistance. Yet if
Republicans try to use must-pass spending
legislation to kill off the organizations

past Senate Democrats and the White
House.

Confederate flags left near Rev. Martin Luther Kings church


By Kate Brumback
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA Police worked Thursday to


identify two white males who were caught
on surveillance camera laying Confederate
battle flags neatly on the ground near the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.s church.
It was the latest provocative act involving the Civil War-era symbol since nine
black church members were gunned down
during Bible study in South Carolina, and it
happened in the heart of an area devoted to

the slain civil rights leader, near his birthplace, his crypt and a center devoted to preserving his legacy.
Atlanta police Chief George Turner said
his agency was working with federal authorities and they have not determined what
charges might be levied. Turner said they
have not ruled out a hate crime, though
Georgia has no state hate crimes law.
An officer from the Atlanta FBIs joint
terrorism task force was on the scene to
better determine if any specific threats were
received and to provide support to Atlanta

police, FBI Special Agent Steve Emmett


said in an email. The Rev. Raphael
Warnock, senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist
Church, called placing the flags on church
grounds a terroristic threat.

This act by a cowardly and misguided


individual or individuals is provocative to
say the least. It ought to get the attention
not only of black people but of freedomloving people, he said.

raise a knife and begin stabbing
people in the back. Police
pounced on him and arrested him.
The crowds carefree cheers suddenly gave way to screams. Panic
ensued, and a bloody woman fell to
the ground, an Associated Press

A man with blood seeping from
his back wandered around with a

Ban on public marijuana use
Editor,
Im a healthy looking 34-year-old male.
I have narcolepsy with cataplexy. I fell
asleep while biking and now I have a traumatic brain injury and epilepsy too.
I smoke medical marijuana so I dont
fall asleep again while biking and it prevents the cataplexy which paralyzes me
whenever I laugh. THC effectively prevents the seizures I get from drinking coffee to help stay awake. It also restores my
sense of balance, which hasnt been the
same since the accident.
My symptoms are worst right before I
smoke marijuana. I often appear drunk or
on drugs, and Im most likely to have a
professional encounter with the police
when I am using marijuana to relieve
these symptoms. If Im in San Mateo, I
can now risk death by not using marijuana, or I can risk death by cop who will
consider my use of medical marijuana to
be a crime and my serious medical symptoms to be non-compliance.
I live in fear of being killed by the
police for having a seizure, a cataplexy
attack or a sleep attack.
The editorial in the July 22 edition of
the Daily Journal stated there was no reason for anyone to smoke marijuana
medical or recreational in public,
which is a bold-faced lie you are telling
yourselves so you can justify the persecution of seriously ill patients in the name
of public health and safety.
Best of luck sleeping with yourselves at
night. Perhaps some government
endorsed alcohol will help, or since you
likely have the luxury of owing your own
home, maybe you can enjoy a nice big fat
joint to help you forget what youve
done.

Old guard just saying no again


Editor,
Reading the comments posted about the
July 29 guest opinion from Belmont
Councilman Warren Lieberman, I see that
the many members of the Old Guard in
Belmont politics have emerged to justsay-no again.
Why cant they understand that they
were voted out at the last election for
Belmont to finally say yes to progressive change?
Why cant they accept that growing
families need to be able to make modest
improvements to their homes in order to
remain in Belmont and contribute to the
community?
I suppose that their bullying and bellicose tactics have served them so well in
the past that they just keep going back to
their comfort zone of preventing any and
all change, including good change, unless
they allow it, being once all-powerful Old
Guard.

This Thursday marked the anniversary of
one of Americas greatest laws. That act
was the creation of Medicare, providing
health coverage for millions of seniors
and disabled persons. Without that act created by President Lyndon Johnson, there
would be untold numbers of people with
no medical coverage at all. Today, instead
of paying premiums to private carriers
with limited coverage, why dont we pay

Regulating lawns
The San Bernardino Sun

a w n s are magic: Cool underfoot


on a bare-toed summer day. An
outdoor carpet for all animal life,
especially babies and dogs. No wonder
the world fell in love with the green.
But California has properly announced
regulations limiting lawns to 25 percent
of a residential lot for new construction,
because thats what our part of the world
can sustain.
In Devon, England and Darien,
Connecticut, even with climate change,
vast public and private lawns are likely to
be sustainable during our time, at least.
Plenty of rain for natural irrigation
unlike here.
Here in the West, in our fourth year of
severe drought, with an unsure water
future even if we get one winter of El
Nino-fueled rains, the California lawn
will never again be punching above its
weight.
Lawns are not a bad thing, a poison.
But poison is dependent upon dosage. Its
not lawns that are bad for California. Its
vast lawns that are.
We cant afford them. Never could, really, but we pretended over the last centuryplus, as suburbia rolled out from the central cities of San Diego and Los Angeles
and San Francisco, that we inevitably
belonged to the American lawn club as
well.
That pretending is over, most of us
know. Our Mediterranean climate cant
sustain so much ornamental lawn not
millions of them. And yet, almost unbelievably, when new homes are built in our
neighborhoods, especially in the teardown/mansionize mania that is afflicting
Southern California, new owners are still
demanding that their houses be surrounded
by lawns seemingly big as a Wimbledon
court. So they roll out the sod, much of
which around Southern California is never
played on, picnicked on, even walked on.
That should be part of the new way for
Californians to view turf landscaping
if its not walked on by someone, if its
not used every day, it doesnt belong
here.
In a better world, all Californians would
understand large lawns are wrong in this
drought, in which we are using water
whether its from wells or the Colorado
River we dont really have, stealing
from the future as we suck the aquifers dry.
But many Californians dont understand
the issue, six months after Gov. Jerry
Brown declared a drought emergency. So
while we wouldnt ordinarily support state
regulations on how much of any plant
material a property should have, hoping
common sense would prevail, that hasnt
worked. So the state Department of Water
Resources was right last week to institute
new restrictions that allow lawns to take
up just 25 percent of a residential lot for
new construction rather than the 33 percent allowed now.
Lawns arent forbidden, by any means.
And yet some Californians are reacting as

Facebook ready to test


giant drone for Internet service
MENLO PARK Facebook says it will
begin test flights later this year for a solarpowered drone with a wingspan as big as a
Boeing 737, in the next stage of its campaign to deliver Internet connectivity to
remote parts of the world.
Engineers at the giant social network say
theyve built a drone with a 140-foot
wingspan that weighs less than 1,000
pounds. Designed to fly at high altitudes for
up to three months, it will use lasers to send
Internet signals to stations on the ground.
Though Facebook is better known for
online software that lets people share news
with friends, watch viral videos and view
commercial advertising engineers in a
unit called the Connectivity Lab are working
on a different set of problems.

NEW YORK Stocks ended the day


mostly flat on Thursday, recovering
from broad losses earlier in the day.
Investors continue to focus on corporate earnings, and Thursdays batch
brought mostly disappointing results
from Procter & Gamble, Facebook and
others.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 5.41 points, less than 0.1 percent, to end at 17,745.98. The index
had been down 110 points at the
beginning of the day.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed effectively unchanged, up 0.06
of a point at 2,108.63. The Nasdaq
composite rose 17.05 points, or 0.3
percent, to 5,128.78.
Several companies made big moves
after reporting their quarterly results.
This is the busiest week for corporate
earnings, with 174 members of the
S&P 500 reporting.
Consumer products giant Procter &
Gamble fell $3.23, or 4 percent, to
$77.39. The maker of Tide detergent
and Gillette razors reported softer sales
than Wall Street analysts had expected.
The company, like many others, has

NEW YORK It hasnt been a good week

The companys second-quarter results
announced Thursday beat Wall Streets

percent, to $36. 08. The company


reported a sharp slowdown in sales
growth last quarter, partially hurt by
the recent news that some Whole
Foods locations in New York City were
overcharging customers.
Facebook fell $1.78, or 1.8 percent,
to $95.21 after the companys results,
while positive overall, included a
sharp 82 percent jump in expenses as
the company invested in growth.
Facebooks stock hit an all-time high
on July 21.
Many U.S. companies reporting second-quarter earnings have struggled to
increase sales despite modest growth
in the U.S. and elsewhere. That was
evident Thursday in the results reported by P&G and Whole Foods.
FactSet estimates that revenue at
companies in the S&P 500 has
decreased 4 percent from a year ago,
largely due to weakness in the energy
sector. Even when energy is excluded,
revenue is still up only 1.8 percent
from the same period a year earlier.
Its really a reflection of how lackluster this economic growth has
been, said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in
Chicago. Profits can be manipulated
by cutting costs, buying back shares,
but your top line is your top line and if
you arent growing sales, its very hard
to mask that.
Investors had one batch of economic

expectations on all fronts, just as


Facebooks did on Wednesday and Twitters
on Tuesday. But its the signs behind the
headline numbers that seem to be worrying
investors, enough for shares of all three
companies to fall this week.
LinkedIn did great this quarter, said
Gartner analyst Brian Blau, while noting
that there is some variability on their
efforts quarter to quarter as they are in a very
competitive market that is constantly innovating and changing.

Virgin Americas 2Q profit


beats Wall Street forecasts

beat Wall Street expectations on cheaper
fuel, and the airline plans to grow at a double-digit rate next year after it starts flying

Its shares, which have slumped this year,
rose more than 7 percent in afternoon trading.
Virgin America Inc. expects to boost passenger-carrying capacity by 2 to 3 percent

data to work through. The U.S. economy grew at a 2.3 percent annual rate in
the April-June quarter, rebounding
from a harsh winter. Leading the
growth was a surge in consumer spending, the backbone of the U.S. economy, and a recovery in foreign trade.
While positive, the data looks at the
U.S. economy three months ago and
did little to boost stocks.
In other markets, the price of oil
resumed its slide after two days of
gains. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 27
cents to close at $48.52 a barrel in
New York. Crude is down nearly $11 a
barrel, or 18 percent, for the month.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell 7 cents to close at $53.31 a
barrel in London.
In other futures trading on the
NYMEX, wholesale gasoline rose 0.6
cents to close at $1.828 a gallon.
Heating oil closed unchanged at
$1.598 a gallon. Natural gas fell 11.8
cents to close at $2.768 per 1,000
cubic feet.
The dollar rose 0. 4 percent to
124.34 yen and the euro edged down
0.6 percent to $1.0903.
Precious and industrial metals futures
ended mostly lower. Gold lost $4.60 to
settle at $1,088.70 an ounce, silver
gave up five cents to settle at $14.70
an ounce and copper fell three cents to
$2.38 a pound.

in the third quarter, 9 to 10 percent in the


fourth, and 13 to 15 percent in 2016. That
kind of growth might be expected to rattle
airline investors, who are worried that carriers are cheapening their tickets by adding
too many flights. Virgins average fare fell 4
percent in the second quarter, when the airline didnt expand its capacity.

Electronic Arts falls as new

GamePrep second in 80-team tourney


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Anthony Granato started the GamePrep


Baseball Academy four years ago as a way to
provide youth baseball players a chance to
improve their skills and give them exposure
to college and professional scouts.
I wanted a program that would provide
development and good, quality coaching for
players who are serious about baseball,
Granato said.
This summer marks the second year of
high-school aged squads: a freshmen team
made up of players who will graduate in
2018 (U15), a sophomore team (2017, U16)
and a junior team (2016, U17).

Seems the programs focus is paying off


as the U16 team finished second in the 80team
Under
Armour
Southwest
Championships tournament in Southern
California, falling to the Chico Aces 15 in
the championship game Tuesday at
University of La Verne.
It was great. It was a great a tournament.
It was really well run. It was really professional. There were a lot of collegiate scouts
so it was good for exposure, said Granato,
who managed the Sacred Heart Prep baseball
team to its first-ever Central Coast Section
championship in May.
I was really impressed and happy with
the way our guys played.
Given the grind of the tournament,

Granato was especially satisfied to see his


team make such a strong showing.
GamePrep Baseball Academy played eight
games in four days, including three games
in one day and five games in two.
Ive always felt and said that baseball is
not meant to be played three games in one
day, with 15-20 minute rest between games.
Its tough to do. You have to have a lot of
pitching, a lot of stamina, Granato said.
We were short. We were playing with only
13 guys. They sucked it up big time.
While making it to the championship
game is impressive enough, the road
GamePrep took to get there was just as
amazing. The 80-team tournament started
with 20, four-team pools. Only pool win-

ners advanced to the knockout bracket portion of the tournament. GamePrep won its
pool on a tiebreaker least number of runs
allowed.
GamePrep and Romero Baseball Academy
were each 1-1 going into the final day of
pool play, with GamePrep facing 2-0 So Cal
Bombers Red in its pool-play finale.
Not only did GamePrep have to beat So
Cal Bombers, it had to do so by winning by
six runs or more and not giving up more
than two.
GamePrep won the game and the pool
with a 7-1 decision.

Cooper key to Raiders upgrade Stanford renews


commitment to
team concepts

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA Oakland Raiders rookie wide


receiver Amari Cooper arrived for the start
of training camp looking to make up for
lost time.
The fourth overall pick in the draft,
Cooper didnt get much practice time with
second-year quarterback Derek Carr in the
offseason because of a nger injury that
prevented Carr from throwing much.
Both players did spend a few days outside
of the minicamps and OTAs playing catch.
But Cooper did not attend an extended voluntary workout when Carr invited the rest
of Oaklands wide receivers and tight ends
to practice together away from the teams
facilities.
Now that training camp is starting,
Cooper says getting a better rhythm with
his quarterback is a critical step as the
Raiders try to get back into the postseason
for the rst time since 2002.
Were just going to take it day by day
and try to build each day, Cooper said
Thursday after checking in at the team hotel
near the heart of the wine country. Im just
going to take it day by day, try to get better
each day and take advantage of every
moment while Im out there on the eld.
The Raiders had just one wide receiver,
James Jones, catch more than 47 passes in
2014. Jones was released in May, two days
before Cooper inked a $22.6 million, fouryear contract.
General manager Reggie McKenzie and
new coach Jack Del Rio made it an emphasis to upgrade the unit in the offseason.
In addition to drafting Cooper, Oakland
signed free agent Michael Crabtree to a
one-year contract. The Raiders should also
benet from the return of Rod Streater after
he missed most of last season with a foot
injury.
Cooper, however, is expected to be the
centerpiece of the receiving corps.

Alabama star went home after the Raiders

BURBANK It was a Sunday, one day


after Stanford lost to Utah in double overtime to fall to 5-5 last November, when
Cardinal players finally decided to clear the
air.
The locker room had become so divided
that linebacker Blake Martinez described the
tense atmosphere as if the defense was our
own team, openly talking about needing to
hold teams under 10
points and return takeaways for touchdowns to
win in spite of their sputtering offense.
They would go out
there, do their job, and we
would
be
like,
Whatever, Martinez
recalled Thursday at PacBlake Martinez 12 media days. If they
didnt get it done, were
going to get it done. It wasnt like, Hey, we
got your back.
But after that meeting, Stanford rallied.
The Cardinal smashed rival California,
demolished No. 9 UCLA and routed Maryland
in the Foster Farms Bowl, and theyre looking to build on that success this fall by
reclaiming the Pac-12 North title.
It starts up front with the offensive line,
which Stanford coach David Shaw expects to
benefit from improved depth. That group
struggled with missed assignments and mental mistakes until that late-season surge,
when the offense averaged 45 carries for 204
yards rushing over the final three games.
Its just our mentality, Shaw said. Were
a physical team. That time also coincided
with us jelling as an offensive line and being
a more efficient and explosive running
game.

Amari Cooper, the Raiders first-round draft pick out of Alabama, is expected to immediately
shore up a receiving corps that had only one player have more than 47 catches last season.

Olympic teams to swim, boat in Rios filth


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Athletes in


next years Summer Olympics here
will be swimming and boating in
waters so contaminated with human
feces that they risk becoming violently ill and unable to compete in
the games, an Associated Press
investigation has found.
An AP analysis of water quality
revealed dangerously high levels of
viruses and bacteria from human
sewage in Olympic and Paralympic
venues results that alarmed international experts and dismayed competitors training in Rio, some of
whom have already fallen ill with
fevers, vomiting and diarrhea.
It is the first independent comprehensive testing for both viruses and
bacteria at the Olympic sites.
Brazilian officials have assured
that the water will be safe for the
Olympic athletes and the medical
director of the International Olympic
Committee said all was on track for
providing safe competing venues.
But neither the government nor the
IOC tests for viruses, relying on bacteria testing only.
Extreme water pollution is common in Brazil, where the majority of
sewage is not treated. Raw waste runs
through open-air ditches to streams
and rivers that feed the Olympic water
sites.
As a result, Olympic athletes are
almost certain to come into contact
with disease-causing viruses that in
some tests measured up to 1.7 million times the level of what would be
considered hazardous on a Southern
California beach.
Despite decades of official pledges

to clean up the mess, the stench of


raw sewage still greets travelers
touching down at Rios international
airport. Prime beaches are deserted
because the surf is thick with putrid
sludge, and periodic die-offs leave the
Olympic lake, Rodrigo de Freitas, littered with rotting fish.
What you have there is basically
raw sewage, said John Griffith, a
marine biologist at the Southern
California Coastal Water Research
Project. Griffith examined the protocols, methodology and results of the
AP tests.
Its all the water from the toilets
and the showers and whatever people
put down their sinks, all mixed up,
and its going out into the beach
waters. Those kinds of things would
be shut down immediately if found
here, he said, referring to the U.S.
Vera Oliveira, head of water monitoring for Rios municipal environmental secretariat, said officials are
not testing viral levels at the
Olympic lake, the water quality of
which is the citys responsibility.
The other Olympic water venues
are under the control of Rio states
environmental agency.
Leonardo Daemon, coordinator of
water quality monitoring for the
states environmental agency, said
officials are strictly following
Brazilian regulations on water quality, which are all based on bacteria
levels, as are those of almost all
nations.
What would be the standard that
should be followed for the quantity of
virus? Because the presence or
absence of virus in the water ... needs
to have a standard, a limit, he said.
You dont have a standard for the

Olympic hopefuls will be diving
into Copacabanas surf this Sunday
during a triathlon Olympic qualifier
event, while rowers take to the lakes
water beginning Wednesday for the
2015 World Rowing Junior
Championships. Test events for sailing and marathon swimming take
place later in August.
More than 10,000 athletes from
205 nations are expected to compete
in next years Olympics. Nearly
1,400 of them will be sailing in the
waters near Marina da Gloria in
Guanabara Bay, swimming off
Copacabana beach, and canoeing and
rowing on the brackish waters of the
Rodrigo de Freitas Lake.

the surf off Ipanema Beach, which is


popular with tourists but where no
events will be held. Thirty-seven
samples were checked for three types
of human adenovirus, as well as
rotavirus, enterovirus and fecal coliforms.
The AP viral testing, which will
continue in the coming year, found
not one water venue safe for swimming or boating, according to global water experts.
Instead, the test results found high
counts of active and infectious
human adenoviruses, which multiply
in the intestinal and respiratory
tracts of people. These are viruses
that are known to cause respiratory
and digestive illnesses, including
explosive diarrhea and vomiting, but
can also lead to more serious heart,
brain and other diseases.
The concentrations of the viruses
in all tests were roughly equivalent to

that seen in raw sewage even at


one of the least-polluted areas tested,
the Copacabana Beach, where
marathon and triathlon swimming
will take place and where many of the
expected 350,000 foreign tourists
may take a dip.
Everybody runs the risk of infection in these polluted waters, said
Dr. Carlos Terra, a hepatologist and
head of a Rio-based association of
doctors specializing in the research
and treatment of liver diseases.
Kristina Mena, a U.S. expert in
risk assessment for waterborne viruses, examined the AP data and estimated that international athletes at all
water venues would have a 99 percent
chance of infection if they ingested
just three teaspoons of water
though whether a person will fall ill
depends on immunity and other factors.
The Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, which
was largely cleaned up in recent
years, was thought be safe for rowers
and canoers. Yet AP tests found its
waters to be among the most polluted
for Olympic sites, with results ranging from 14 million adenoviruses per
liter on the low end to 1.7 billion per
liter at the high end.
By comparison, water quality
experts who monitor beaches in
Southern California become alarmed
if they see viral counts reaching
1,000 per liter.
If I were going to be in the
Olympics, said Griffith, the
California water expert, I would
probably go early and get exposed
and build up my immunity system to
these viruses before I had to compete,
because I dont see how theyre going
to solve this sewage problem.

Carrasco shuts down As Giants acquire Leake


By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Carlos Carrasco threw a twohitter, Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer and
the Cleveland Indians beat the Oakland
Athletics 3-1 on Thursday night.
Francisco Lindor had two hits for the
Indians, who won their second straight following a six-game losing streak.
Josh Reddick doubled in a rst-inning run for
the As, who have lost six of their last seven.
Carrasco (11-8) did not allow a hit after
Reddicks double, facing one over the minimum from that point. He walked one and
struck out seven. He was coming off his worst
start of the season in which he allowed six
runs in four innings.
Chris Bassitt (0-4) gave up three runs, his
season high, on six hits. He walked one and
struck out a season-best six.
The rst four Indians hitters reached base
against Bassitt and three scored. Jason
Kipnis singled on the games second pitch

but slipped trying to get back to rst on a


pick-off throw and was caught.
Lindor followed with a single and scored on
Michael Brantleys double and elding error
on Sam Fuld. Santana then hit his 12th home
run of the year.
The As got a run back in their half of the
rst when Reddick doubled home Billy Burns,
who had singled.
Bassitt allowed two hits after Santanas
home run, retiring 18 of the nal 21 batters
he faced.

With prized ace left-handers Cole Hamels


and David Price off the market, the Giants
pulled the trigger on a deal with the Reds
Thursday night for veteran right-hander
Mike Leake. In exchange for Leake, the
Giants traded minor-leaguers Adam Duvall
and Keury Mella to Cincinnati. The deal was
made official at approximately 9:40 p.m.
Leake owns a 9-5 record with a 3.56 ERA
on the season. He has been dazzling as of
late, posting a 4-1 record with a 1.25 ERA
through five July starts.
I look at five of his last eight outings, hes
been pitching deep into games, Giants general manager Bobby Evans said. Its just a good
fit for us in terms of getting a control guy.
Evans also noted Leakes impressive
resume on the road this season. Pitching at
hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark, he
is 4-3 with a 4.93 ERA. In road games, however, he is 5-2 with a 2.28 ERA.
It gives me hope as to how it will impact

him to be in our division


and our ballpark, Evans
said.
Duvall was a mainstay
in the cleanup spot for the
Sacramento
Rivercats
this season. A Pacific
Coast League All-Star, the
corner infielder leads the
league with 26 home

runs. He saw time on the
big-league roster in 2014, hitting .192 with
three home runs in 73 at-bats.
Im excited to see what will happen for
Chris, moving to another team, Evans said.
He deserves an opportunity. I hope he gets
it in Cincinnati.
Mella, a right-handed pitcher, was 5-3 with a
3.31 ERA through 16 starts at High-A San Jose
this season. He was one of two Giants, along
with Double-A right-hander Tyler Beede, to
play in the 2015 Futures Game in Cincinnati.
Leake who will be a free agent at the end
of the year is tabbed to replace Tim Hudson
in the starting rotation, according to Evans.

Boston. The 5-foot-11

Im still the same
Pablo Sandoval weight that I was last
year, the weight that I
finished my season, Sandoval said. I
dont get complaints about it. Do I have to
keep working hard? Yes, I do.
Manager John Farrell said the team has
discussed weight, conditioning and diet
with Sandoval, a two-time All-Star who
turns 29 next month.

The one thing we do know is there is a


wide range in which (his weight) will fluctuate, and thats been consistent year to year
with Pablo, Farrell said. His work ethic in
the weight room, his work ethic on the field
is consistent. It has been since the first day
he got on the field with us here. ... And yet
there have been challenges that weve
become aware of over the course of his
career, that youre trying to align a number
of things. Thats the consistency to the
work routine as well as the nutritional side
of things.
Farrell acknowledged the Red Sox
thought they were getting an average fielder. Instead, Sandoval has had trouble coming up with balls hit near the line. Hes
committed 12 errors in 89 games after mak-

ing 11 errors in 151 games a year ago.


Farrell said theyd like Sandoval to play
deeper.
The closer he is to home plate, the less
reaction time. But theres been some footwork thats been addressed, particularly in
his pre-pitch setup, Farrell said. Theres
been some detection that his first move is
to come up instead of laterally. Weve sat
with him on video and reviewed it, and he
continues to work on it in his pregame routine. Yet theres still times where it does not
play out on the field.
Sandoval shrugged off a question about
his conditioning and said he feels comfortable at the plate.
I dont care what people say, Sandoval
said, I feel great.

Cycling spotlight finally


shining on North America
By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Tour de France dominates the landscape


of professional cycling, a three-week behemoth that draws the attention of fans worldwide.
Now that its over, the spotlight is shifting
to North America.
The Tour of Utah starts Monday and kicks off
an unprecedented run of races that include the
Tour of Alberta and the USA Pro Challenge in
Colorado. It ends in September with the return
of the world championships to the United
States for the rst time since 1986.
I dont know, outside of the cycling community, that people understand the magnitude of
the fact that the world championships are
going to be on American soil. Thats a big
deal, said Jenn Andrs, executive director of the
Tour of Utah. Its really a testament to the
interest and popularity were seeing of
cycling.
The Tour of Utah once attracted only cyclists
based in the U.S. Now some of the top teams on
the WorldTour head to what is billed as
Americas Toughest Stage Race, where they
are greeted by crowds approaching 300,000
over the course of the weeklong event.
The USA Pro Challenge in Colorado, which
begins Aug. 17, has attracted past Tour de
France winners such as Cadel Evans for seven
stages through the Rocky Mountains. The Tour
of Alberta has attracted such stars as Rohan
Dennis and Peter Sagan in its short history.
It shows how far the sport has come, and
how attractive it is, both from participation as
well as for host communities and sponsors,
said Chris Aronhalt, a managing partner for
Medalist Sports, the company that helps stage
nearly all major races in North America. Not
since, boy, even the last world championships

in the U.S. in 1986 in Colorado Springs have


all the eyes swung from the Tour de France to
the United States.
One of the big reasons high-level races have
struggled to take root in the U.S. the Coors
Classic, Tour of Missouri and Tour DuPont have
all expired over the years is the challenge in
attracting top riders from Europe. Its an expensive and labor-intensive proposition for teams,
often on shaky nancial footing, to bring their
entire operations to another continent.
But the string of North American races on tap
helps make it a worthwhile endeavor. Rather
than cross the pond for one race, they can
establish a temporary base and compete in two
or three or more as well as get their riders
ready for the world championships.
While the worlds, taking place in Richmond,
Virginia, are mostly for national teams, there is
an element of prestige for teams having their
riders compete. And there is the team time trial,
which involves trade teams such as Team Sky or
BMC Racing Team.
The Tour of Alberta has included a team trial
in its event this year specically to act as a
tuneup for those teams competing in
Richmond.
The important thing is the audience in
America has gotten much bigger and more educated, said Jim Ochowicz, who runs the BMC
team. I think the fact they understand the sport
a little better now, the turnout for all these
events is going to be massive.
Ofcials from the Richmond organizing
committee expect 450,000 onsite spectators
over the course of the nine-day event, many of
them traveling from other nations.
The Tour of Utah will be carried live on the
Fox Sports family of networks this year, and
the USA Pro Challenge will be back on NBC
Sports. Its sister station, Universal Sports,
will carry the world championships.

The 2015, third annual Multi-Chamber Business Expo is


proudly brought to you by the Brisbane, Foster City, Millbrae,

Southwest Championships tournament in Southern California.

had to do, but we didnt tell our players. We
didnt tell them what the exact math was,
Granato said. They played great and they
ended up doing exactly what we needed them
to do.
That was just the beginning of a whirlwind of baseball, however. Once the teams
for the knockout round were decided, each of
the 20 teams was ranked, with the bottom
five having to play what essentially
amounted to a play-in game. GamePrep was
seeded 19th. GamePrep beat Trosky 16
White 8-0 to advance to the main draw of the
tournament.
That was just the first of three games
Monday. GamePrep faced Saddleback
Cowboys Black in the first round, winning
15-7. It then downed NorCal Young Guns 64 to advance to the semifinals.
Granato said the game against the Young
Guns ended at about 10:30 p. m. and
GamePreps semifinal game was scheduled
for 8 a.m. Tuesday.
(Tuesday morning) we could see they
were low on energy, Granato said. We had
a little chat just give everything they
had. I dont know where the energy came
from, but they won.
GamePrep beat Chico Aces 16 8-1 to
advance to the championship game also
on Tuesday against Chico Aces 15.
At that point, GamePrep simply had no
more to give. It held a 6-5 lead in the third
inning before the wheels fell off and Chico
went on to post a 13-7 victory.
At that point, I didnt really have anyone
left (to pitch). We just ran out of arms,
Granato said. We were winning that game

then we ran out of gas. We committed nine


errors. You could see our guys were just
drained.
The loss in the championship game didnt
dampen any of GamePreps accomplishments. It outscored its opponents 64-32 in
eight games, with Dominic Tognotti leading the way on the mound.
Our pitching was tremendous, Granato
said.
Tognotti, a junior-to-be at St. Ignatius,
threw two complete games, allowing just
three hits. Cole Spina, who plays at Sacred
Heart Prep, picked up the win in GamePreps
7-1 victory over So Cal Bombers Red that
sent it to the knockout round. Spina threw a
complete game, two hitter.
Jack Petersen, out of Serra, may have been
the teams most versatile player. Not only
did he pitch the semifinal win, allowing one
unearned run, he also played one game at
catcher, one game at third base, one game at
shortstop and one game at second base.
He did it all, Granato said.
Jordan Brandenburg, who will be entering
his sophomore season at Carlmont, is one
to keep an eye on in the coming years. As
one of the youngest members of the team,
Granato inserted him in the cleanup spot in
the batting order and Brandenburg responded. Granato said he didnt have
Brandenburgs complete tournament stats,
but said at one point Brandenburg, was,
like, 16 for 24, with six doubles and 13
RBIs.
He was tremendous at the plate, Granato
said.
The tournament signaled the end of the
summer season for the U16 team, a season
in which Granato said he saw the team
improve every tournament.
Were really proud with how the boys
have developed and what they did this summer, Granato said. Its been a good ride.

Rouseys plan for Correia? Pain


By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE Ronda Rousey is


in charge now. The unbeaten bantamweight champion is the
biggest star in the UFC, and she
could have staged her next title
defense anywhere in the world
before she moves on to her next
acting job or book tour stop or
red-carpet appearance.
Rousey decided to fight
Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia
in a raucous arena at UFC 190 in
Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night.
Challenges dont scare Rousey.
Theyre what keep her rocketing
along this wild path.
When I dont have the homecourt advantage, thats another
thing that really keeps me motivated, said Rousey, who hasnt
fought outside Las Vegas or her
native Southern California in
three years. I want the fans to
know that even though Im doing a
lot of things, I want to be the most
active champion out there as
well.
Rouseys journey to Rio is a
multifaceted decision designed to
reach her goals just like nearly
everything she does.
After traveling the world during
her Olympic judo career, she was
eager to fight in front of Brazils
famously intense fans. And after
the trash-talking Correia infuriated her with a flippant comment
apparently referencing Rouseys
fathers suicide, Rousey decided to
beat Correia in the most painful,
humiliating way possible, which
meant fighting in Correias home.
I think everything up until the
suicide comment could have been
understandable from a marketing
point of view, Rousey said. But
when she said that is when it really crossed the line and became
truly personal for me.
So Rousey (11-0) spent several
weeks plotting the best way to
embarrass Correia (9-0), perhaps

toying with the


bulky Brazilian
on the feet
before
dropping her with a
judo throw and
dispatching her
with a signature
armbar. After
Ronda Rousey winning her
previous three
title defenses in
a combined 96
s e c o n ds ,
Rousey wanted
something
longer and more
painful to befall
Correia.
Like
Babe
Bethe Correia Ruth pointing
his bat at the
fence, Rousey is confident she
could call her shot.
The only problem is that
Rouseys mother disapproves.
She chewed me out, Rousey
said. She wants me to end it as
quick as possible still. I promised
her that Im going to be fine. Im
not going to take any damage.
So Rousey hasnt decided exactly what shell do when the cage
door closes, but there arent many
people left who doubt she can do
whatever she wants. Rousey is an
overwhelming favorite against
Correia, whose best chance seems
to be one big punch and a prayer.
Rousey doesnt shy away from
the role of favorite. With an
upcoming role in a Mark Wahlberg
film and a soaring international
popularity, she welcomes the
spotlight with confidence.
Heres pretty much the plan:
Im going to beat up Bethe,
Rousey said. Then Im going to
take a couple of weeks to rest. And
then Im going to go beat up
Miesha (Tate, her likely next
opponent). And then Im going to
go to Thailand, or wherever we
decide to film. Im going to prep
for a month and start filming for

eight to 10 weeks, and then go


beat up the next chick. Thats pretty much my plan.
Correia has kept up her tough
talk in recent weeks, although the
words sometimes feel like a negotiation. She has publicly asked
Rousey to stick to a stand-up fight
instead of using her peerless judo
skills, insisting Rousey should
really fight a straight MMA
fight.
But Rousey has been redefining
her sport ever since she stepped
into an MMA cage. She is the reason the UFC began promoting
womens fights three years ago,
and she has been the companys
most dominant champion during
her reign.
Along with her list of new
goals, Rousey is driven by the
chance to accomplish novel feats.
Even in her acting career, she creates goals for herself: She came up
with the idea that she could be the
first actor to do a fight scene, a
car chase and a high jump in one
long shot with no stunt double.
For her next accomplishment,
Rousey started training earlier
than usual, isolated in a mountain
camp 8 1/2 weeks before this
fight. When she returned to civilization, she eliminated many
extra interviews and public
appearances aside from her
memorable trip to the ESPYs.
Rouseys fire has been rekindled, and she insists her focus is
honed. Its all bad news for
Correia.
It was actually really refreshing
in a way, Rousey said. I felt rejuvenated by that. It really reaffirmed the fact that my hunger to
fight is still there, and its still the
thing that I have the most passion
for. More than anything.

USC picked to win Diddys son still with UCLA


Pac-12 football title
By Abbey Mastracco

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURBANK

Southern
California was picked to win its
first Pac-12 football title since
2008 in a preseason media poll
Thursday.
The Trojans received 21 of 45
votes for the title, edging defending champion Oregon. The Ducks
got 17 votes for the top spot and
were picked to win the North division, while USC is favored to win
the South.
Oregon has won four of the last
six league titles, reaching the
national championship game last
season. Stanford, which won the
crown in 2012 and 2013, was
picked to finish second in the
North
division
ahead
of
California.
You know everybody is going
to be better than they were a year
ago, said Stanford coach David
Shaw, who has quarterback Kevin
Hogan back for another year. Its
going to be an insane year in our
conference with the teams we have
and the players we have.

While USC has 16 returning


starters from coach Steve
Sarkisians debut team last season, quarterback Cody Kessler
likely is the biggest factor in the
selection. The prolific passer is
back for his third season as the
Trojans starter, while Oregon
must replace Heisman winner
Marcus Mariota.
USC will be one of the better
teams
in
the
country,
Washington coach Chris Petersen
said.
USC was hardly a consensus
choice: Five teams received votes
as the conference champion.
USC hadnt been picked to win
the league since 2012, when the
Trojans were the preseason No. 1.
They finished 7-6 and unranked,
and coach Lane Kiffin was fired
less than a year later.
Arizona State was picked second
in the loaded South division. The
Sun Devils are just ahead of UCLA,
which has beaten crosstown rival
USC three straight times.
Arizona, which won the South
last year, is picked fourth in the
division.

STANFORD
Continued from page 11
Toward the end of the year, we just decided to try and ball out. You saw the results on
the field, said Kyle Murphy, who is moving
from right tackle to left tackle. We plan on
picking up where we left off last year and
doing even greater things.
Sophomore running back Christian

Continued from page 11
nal minicamp and worked out with several
of former teammates and coaches.
While there, Cooper picked up a few
words of advice from Crimson Tide coach
Nick Saban.

BURBANK After a tumultuous


offseason at UCLA, coach Jim
Mora and the Bruins are eager to
get back to football.
The Bruins were in the news for
all the wrong reasons in recent
months, from the suspension and
reinstatement of offensive line
coach Adrian Klemm to the arrest
of incoming freshman Soso
Jamabo in Texas.
But for sheer weirdness and the
accompanying media spotlight,
nothing compared to hip-hop
mogul Sean Diddy Combs arrest
for an alleged fight with assistant
strength coach Sal Alosi in the
weight room last month. Diddy,
the father of defensive back Justin
Combs, is still waiting to hear
whether hell face misdemeanor
charges.
At the first day of the Pac-12s
football media summit Thursday at
Warner Bros. Studios, Mora provided no revelations about the
incident. While declining several
invitations to discuss the dust-up,
Mora confirmed Justin Combs is
still on the team heading into his
junior year, saying the Bruins
have had no changes to our roster.
Well, really nothing has

changed, center
Jake
Brendel. Its
just been business as usual,
really. We got a
new lock on the
weight room,
but thats it.
With the new
Justin Combs
season just five
weeks away, the Bruins insist they
havent been distracted by those
offseason occurrences. The focus is
on football, not the media attention that can surround a school
next door to Hollywood.
Things are going to come up
that might set the team back publicly, but you cant let that affect
your 3-foot world, your 3-foot
space, Brendel said. I feel like in
these times, if you just focus on
yourself and the teams goals, then
you shouldnt have a problem.
The Bruins are getting accustomed the potential pitfalls posed
by TMZ, tabloids and paparazzi.
I think its just a result of being
where we are, Brendel said. If we
were in the middle of nowhere, that
doesnt always happen. The media
is centralized around our city and
around our campus, so theres a lot
more eyes on us than there is other
places.
UCLAs on-field story lines this

season include a quarterback competition and a new defensive coordinator.


With Brett Hundley now in the
NFL, freshman quarterback Josh
Rosen will compete with redshirt
juniors Jerry Neuheisel and Mike
Fafaul. Mora expects to make a
decision following the teams
training camp, which will again be
held in San Bernardino.
With regards to the quarterback
situation, I think the one thing
that gives me comfort is the fact
that weve got a pretty veteran
group around (Rosen), Mora said.
Its very unlike Bretts situation
from a few years ago when he had
to step in and do a lot. Whoever is
taking snaps from Jake can depend
on those around him maybe a little
bit more than Brett was able to do.
So that gives me a little bit of comfort.
Bradley brings a wealth of experience after spending more than 30
years on the sidelines at Penn State
under late head coach Joe Paterno.
Its the emphasis on the small
things and how wise he is, linebacker Deon Hollins said. I
wouldnt even call him smart,
because everyone in Division I is
smart. All of the coaches are smart.
But in terms of how he applies
things, I think hes one of the best
in the business.

McCaffrey is expected to be the beneficiary


of that development. As a true freshman, the
son of 13-year NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey
had 796 all-purpose yards and scored two
touchdowns lining up at tailback, wide
receiver and as a return specialist.
McCaffrey now weighs over 200 pounds,
Shaw said, and is capable of picking up
blitzes in pass protection, running between
the tackles and doing everything required of
a feature back.
We needed him to get stronger before we
asked him to do much more than we asked

him to do last year, Shaw said. Hes bigger. Hes stronger. Hes more physical.
There is not a lot limiting what he can do.
Shaw also praised the development of
Remound Wright and Barry Sanders Jr.,
which will allow McCaffrey to continue to
line up all over the field. The Stanford
offense will also have a healthy Devon
Cajuste at wide receiver when fall camp
opens, as the redshirt senior did not require
surgery for a high ankle injury.
Just as vital is a renewed focus on conditioning, as Stanford lost four games by

seven points or less last season. Martinez


said each offseason workout is being treated
like a game, and the only way to win the
fourth quarter is for everyone to finish, from
starters to scout team.
That emphasis on the entire team is the
result of hard-learned lessons.
Even if something were to happen where
the offense or defense is terrible, were still
going to be all together as a unit no matter
what happens, Martinez said. Were never
going to go back to where we were 5-5 and
blaming each other about things.

I talked to him a little bit, Cooper said.


He was telling how different the NFL is
from college football. He was just telling
me to stay the same player and same person
I am.

Cooper was among a handful of players


who arrived early in the morning. Players
were put through a conditioning test, with
the rst full workout scheduled for Friday
morning.
TJ Carrie, expected to push for one of the
two open starting cornerback jobs, showed
up on a charter bus and sounded anxious for
the practices to begin.
A seventh-round draft pick a year ago,
Carrie sounded optimistic when talking

about Oaklands prospects, but said its


imperative that the teams younger players
make a big impact.
The expectation for them is just as high
as the veterans, Carrie said. The past draft
classes have become more mature in their
roles. The veterans are only going to continue to help us, and we denitely lean on
them with their knowledge and expertise. It
takes all of us as a whole to accomplish the
goal that we want to accomplish.

Asked about expectations that come with


being a rst-round pick, Cooper simply
smiled.
I dont really feel any pressure to deliver
at all, he said.

Afghanistan Taliban
confirm Mullah Omars
death, choose successor
By Lynne ODonnell and Kathy Gannon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban confirmed the death


of longtime leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and appointed
his successor Thursday, as a new round of
peace talks was indefinitely postponed
amid concerns over how committed the
new leadership is to ending the militant
groups 14-year insurgency.
The Afghan Taliban Shura, or Supreme
Council, chose Mullah Omars deputy,
Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, as its new
leader, two Taliban figures told the
Mullah Omar Associated Press, saying the sevenmember council had met in the Pakistani
city of Quetta.
Mansoor is considered close to
Pakistani authorities who hosted peace
talks earlier this month, and his election
could widen an internal split between
fighters who favor negotiations with the
Afghan government and those who want
to continue an insurgency that has
gained speed following the end of the
international combat mission last year.
Mullah
Mansoor has effectively commanded
Mansoor
the movement for the three years since
Mullah Omars previous deputy and co-founder of the movement, Mullah Abdul Baradar, was arrested by Pakistani
authorities. Observers say he has the respect of battlefield
commanders and is behind the intensification of the war in
recent months as a means of strengthening the Talibans
hand as it enters into a formal dialogue with Kabul.
The peace process was plunged into uncertainty earlier
Thursday when the Taliban indicated they were pulling out
of the negotiations and Pakistans Foreign Ministry
announced the talks, which were to have been hosted by
Islamabad beginning Friday, had been postponed.
The Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until they were
overthrown in a U.S-led invasion in 2001. It is widely
believed that Mullah Omar fled over the border to Pakistan,
where he lived under Pakistani protection until his death.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has sought Pakistans
help in bringing the Taliban to the negotiations since
Islamabad is believed to wield influence over the group.
A diplomat based in Kabul who is familiar with the peace
process told the AP that since Ghani assumed power last
year the governments position has been that the real
negotiation is between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Turkey onslaught on Kurds,


after IS attack, fuels anger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey Just when


it seemed Turkey was getting serious
about the fight against IS, it has
turned its military focus to pounding
its old foe: the Kurdish rebels.
In Turkeys Kurdish heartland, the
governments
renewed military
onslaught against the rebels has left
many people crying treachery with
suspicions rife that Turkey used a brief
offensive against IS as a cover to
launch a broad attack against the
Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.
Many Kurds also are venting frustra-

tion against the United States, accusing Washington of turning a blind eye
to Turkish attacks on the Kurds in
exchange for logistical support on IS.
We are used to this. Kurds have witnessed betrayal for centuries said
Axin Bro, a musician. National powers use us for their own ends.
The U.S. had welcomed Turkeys air
assault last week on the Islamic State
group, along with its decision to open
air bases for American sorties, as a
sign that Turkey had dropped its reluctance to fight the extremist group.
Since then, Turkish jets taking off
from this city in Kurdish-dominated

lands have been hitting PKK targets in


northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey,
as the militant group has targeted military and police in Turkey.
Turkish jets again pounded PKK targets in northern Iraq in an operation
Thursday that lasted two and a half
hours, a government official said. He
said the latest airstrikes were in retaliation for an attack on troops stationed
near the border with Iraq earlier in the
day that killed three soldiers. He
spoke on condition of anonymity in
line with government rules requiring
prior authorization to speak to journalists.

Mission accomplished
for Cruise in new movie
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Theres some interesting talk in the cleverly


satisfying script of Mission: Impossible
Rogue Nation about the element of luck. As
in: How much is luck a factor in the success of
Ethan Hunt and his IMF cohorts? After all, in
the last movie they merely saved us from a
nuclear holocaust. Was it talent, work, or dumb
luck?

Whatever you decide about that, lets be clear


about this: When it comes to Tom Cruise and his
durability as an action hero, luck has little to do
with it. The guys an action star extraordinaire,
and its not luck or chance but work and smarts
and yes, some swashbuckling derring-do that get
him there. Whatever you may think of Cruise and
his complex off-screen persona, lets give him
this: At age 53, he and his Ethan Hunt are, if anything, getting more fun to watch. And they make

Music@Menlo
highlights the
great Schubert
By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The Music@Menlo chamber music festival, which


enlivens the Menlo School and Menlo-Atherton High
School campuses for three weeks every summer, is focusing
this year on the music of Franz Schubert. Schubert was
insanely prolific in a short life of only 31 years, and wrote
enough great chamber music easily to fill a festival like
this one.
Last Sundays concert, at the Stent Family Hall on the
Menlo School campus, for instance, focused on Schuberts
music from just one year, 1824. That was the year of the
Octet for strings and winds, an enormous piece over an hour
long for an unusually large chamber ensemble. It received a
genially rustic performance, rough and hearty, from a distinguished set of players.
Schubert wrote the piece on commission from a clarinetist, so he knew to make the clarinet the most prominent. That part was played by the Israeli-American clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein with a firm rather than supple
line. He frequently traded material with first violinist Sean
Lee, who played in light, sweet tones.
The other instruments all had much to say as well, but
most eyes were on the cello. The scheduled cellist had
injured his hand and was unable to play this performance.
So Menlos co-artistic director, David Finckel, a veteran
cellist of great renown, hastily but securely stepped in to
the vacant place. Thus it was he who emitted those terrifying rumbles that feature so strongly in the cello part of the
Octets finale.
Another epic work of Schuberts from 1824, not quite so
long but even more exhausting, is the Wanderer Fantasy
for piano. This is so complex a work that Schubert himself,
though a competent pianist, couldnt play his own composition. On Sunday it was tackled by the Finnish pianist
Juho Pohjonen, a slight-looking man with great reserves of
power. No matter how fierce the music or how full it was of
complicating cascades, he always kept the chords clean and
separated, and the melodic line smooth and clear. Charm is
outside this grandiose works vocabulary, yet this performance was, at least, tuneful and captivating.
Pohjonen also provided the accompaniment for a pair of
Schubert songs, sung evenly and with character by the baritone Nikolay Borchev, and for a far lesser-known 1824
Schubert masterpiece, a sonata for arpeggione and piano.
The arpeggione, a kind of bowed guitar that was played like
a cello, was then newly invented, and this sonata is the
only major work ever written for it. Arpeggiones, and their
players, being in short supply these days, its place was
taken by a viola played by Paul Neubauer, which seemed
well-suited for the gentle, lyrically song-like music.
Fine evening concerts like this are hardly the only reason
to visit Menlo. Most such concerts are preceded by smaller
prelude performances by the young professionals of

Hes exceptional. He lives an exceptional
life, but he is aware of that fact. He knows
what he sacrificed, what he forgoes to be who
he is. But hes still essentially a human
being at the heart of it. Hes not some spaced

Ill always get back to them. I try to keep

summer sort of like hiding the broccoli

Also invaluable is returning MI vet
Simon Pegg as Benji, the wise-cracking
(and safe-cracking) computer whiz who provides a crucial dose not only of humor but
also of humanity here. Welcome newcomers
include Alec Baldwin, as a pompous CIA
boss with deliciously dry delivery, and
Rebecca Ferguson, making the most and
then some of the obligatory female role.
Ferguson is get this Swedish-born,
named Ilsa here, and, yes, shows up in
Casablanca, too.
Rogue Nation doesnt start slowly. In
fact, it begins with the scene youre most
likely to have heard about, because it
involves Cruises own stunt work, in which
the actor actually places himself on the
wing of an airborne jet, and then why
not? lets his legs slip, hanging on by
only his hands as the landscape beneath

gets tinier and tinier.


Why is Hunt on the wing? Well, thats
what can happen, annoyingly, when you try
to board a plane AFTER takeoff. He manages
to successfully remove a case of nerve gas
canisters, but were just getting started.
We soon learn that the IMF is being disbanded, and the timing is terrible. Hunt is
onto something really bad: the Syndicate, a
nefarious group of former spies led by a
vague, sinister leader (Sean Harris). That the
Syndicate is not attached to one particular
nation it is the Rogue Nation of the
title has eerie resonance in todays world.
Hunt soon finds himself chained to a ceiling in a London dungeon. Enter Ilsa
(Ferguson) who obviously has some attraction to Hunt, and a tendency to save his life,
but also is clearly not working with him,
either.
The two meet again in Vienna, and eventually in Morocco, where Hunt and his friends

take on a mission that involves, for one


thing, Hunt holding his breath underwater
for an impossibly long time while fighting
an impossibly strong water current and
many other things.
It shouldnt surprise you by now to hear
that Cruise apparently flirted with on-set
danger here, too. And its impossible to
deny that this knowledge adds to the fun.
Early on, when Hunt was hanging off that
plane, my 12-year-old companion whos
grown up in the age of computer-generated
wizardry confidently whispered: Ha,
thats totally a green screen. And I was
happy to be able to whisper back:
Nope. Thats just Tom Cruise.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation,
a Paramount release, is rated PG-13 by the

sequences of intense action and violence.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM


By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

THROUGH A GLASS B RIGHTLY:


LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY AT THE
CHARLES HOSMER MORSE MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART IN WINTER
PARK, FLORIDA. Jewel-like leaded glass
lamps and radiant stained glass windows.
Famed American artist and designer Louis
Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) is identified
in the public mind primarily with these creations. But at the Charles Hosmer Morse
Museum of American Art in Winter Park, the
full range of Tiffanys innovative and versatile aesthetic vision can be appreciated. The
42,000-square-foot Morse Museum houses
the worlds most comprehensive collection
of works by Tiffany, including not only his
leaded-glass lamps and windows, but jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass and, on a
grander scale, both his chapel interior from
the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition in
Chicago and art and architectural objects
from his Long Island country estate,
Laurelton Hall. The Museums collections
were assembled over a half-century by
Jeannette Genius McKean (1909-1989) and
her husband, Hugh F. McKean (1908-1995),
the Museums director until his death. The
Museum was founded by Mrs. McKean in
1942 and named for her grandfather,
Chicago industrialist and Winter Park philanthropist Charles Hosmer Morse.
RESCUING THE TIFFANY CHAPEL.
From May 1 to Oct. 31, 1893, 27 million
visitors came to the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago nearly one-quarter of the population of the United States at
the time. To demonstrate its artistry and
craftsmanship in producing ecclesiastical
goods, the Tiffany Glass and Decorating
Company installed a chapel interior in the
Expositions Manufactures and Liberal Arts
Building, to serve as a holistic display of
the firms mosaics and leaded-glass windows. The chapel interior included six
ornately carved plaster arches, 16 mosaic
columns and a 1,000-pound, 10-by-8-foot
electrified chandelier in the shape of a
cross. After the exposition closed, the
chapel was taken apart and over the ensuing
decades was moved from place to place,
eventually being installed in a free-standing building at Louis Comfort Tiffanys

Long Island country estate, Laurelton Hall.


After his death, the chapel was sold off piece
by piece. The McKeans tracked down and
bought all the pieces of the chapel and had it
reassembled within the museum. Catherine
Hinman, the museums director of public
affairs and publications, said: A highlight
of a visit [to the Morse Museum] is always
the Byzantine-Romanesque chapel interior
Tiffany designed for exhibition at the 1893
worlds fair in Chicago, which literally
brought fair-goers to their knees in 1893
and continues to mesmerize our visitors
today.
LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANYS LAURELTON HALL. Tiffany built his 84-room
Long Island home, Laurelton Hall, between
1902 and 1905. The fixtures, furnishings
and architectural details were all executed at
his exacting direction. After the hall was
destroyed by fire in 1957, the McKeans rescued what could be salvaged. In 2011, the
museum opened a 12,000-square-foot addition, the centerpiece of which is Laurelton
Halls 18-by-32-foot Daffodil Terrace,
pieced together from more than 600 distinct
fragments and installed in a glass-enclosed
gallery. The Daffodil Terrace includes eight
11-foot marble columns topped with bouquets of glass daffodils and features a skylight covered by six large panels of iridescent-glass tiles in a pear-tree motif. Steve
Langston, director of design for RLF architects, designers of the Museums Laurelton
Hall expansion, said: In regards to the
most recent addition, the challenge was to
re-create the feeling of the original house
using the saved and restored pieces in a
museum setting without replicating the
original house. For RLF, the biggest problem of displaying Tiffany glass is obviously getting the correct type and position of
light so that the pieces can be seen properly and understood in regards to how they
were used. Some were individual pieces
within a house and others were integrated
into the architecture of a structure, so some
were conceived of by the artist to use artificial light where others were to be seen filtering natural light into various living
spaces. [Morse] museum director Larry
Ruggiero and RLF lighting consultant
George Sexton made this monumental task
seem easy. Galleries adjoining the Daffodil
Terrace display hundreds of Tiffany objects
from or related to Laurelton Hall, including

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Stewart signing off Daily Show fake newscast for real

know.
Meanwhile, the illuminative mockery of
Stewarts fake news might be defined as
What those in power dont want you to
think.
Always questioning authority whether
politicians, corporate titans, media barons
or, of course, puffed-up journalists
Stewart did what satirists have done for centuries: He seized on the absurdity embedded
in accepted truth.
But as The Daily Show aped the bombast and blizzard of graphics employed,
without irony, by legitimate newscasts,
Stewart never copped to grandiose claims
for what he was up to.
Our meeting every morning is an explicit discussion of whats going on in the
world, he declared in a 2004 interview with
the Associated Press. But then the rest of

the day is spent trying to hide that under


layers of fart jokes.
While Stewart is undeniably left-leaning,
his show, he said, doesnt honor the distinction between left wing and right wing,
or liberal and conservative, or in some
respects between Democrat and Republican.
We only honor the distinction between
real and absurdly fake, he said, then
grinned. And WE are absurdly fake.
The Daily Show under Stewart thus
made a credible argument that, for both journalism and public affairs, bogus is the new
real, leaving fact and fantasy interchangeable. The Daily Show prevailed as a bit of
daylight in between, a privileged space that
granted Stewart almost limitless freedom to
make fun of things, even as he exercised due
diligence in making sense of them in the
process.
Some (even Stewart) would say The
Daily Show is a half-hour of silliness
meant to call out politicians and other
power brokers with no higher purpose than
amusing its audience.
Still, he was sharply attuned to Americas
many wrong turns, how its leadership and
media routinely let the country down. In
2010, he and fellow Comedy Central fakenews host Stephen Colbert even organized
a rollicking Rally to Restore Sanity and/or

Fear that drew tens of thousands to


Washingtons National Mall.
Americans, said Stewart in one of the telecasts more serious moments, do impossible things every day that are only made possible through the little, reasonable compromises we all make.
But reasonable compromises are what
elected officials are loath to make in the
present day; what news media dismiss in
favor of spotlighting the more watchable
bad behavior and conflict.
Americans do work together to get things
done, insisted Stewart.
The only place we dont is here, he said,
pointing behind him at the Capitol, or on
cable TV.
There has been little sign of sanity
restored.
Wouldnt it be nice if people who jumped
to conclusions and peddled a false, divisive,
anger-stoking narrative had to apologize
for misleading America? mused Stewart
last March in reference to a certain cablenews network.
On Aug. 6, Stewart, now 52, will step
aside, making way for Trevor Noah, a 31year-old stand-up comic from South Africa,
to manage this nightly reality check as the
nation dives headlong into the 2016 presidential election cycle.

Who could blame him for wanting to

Besides, maybe it had gotten too easy. By

Or maybe it had gotten too hard.

was to host a program that would lampoon
real newscasts and newsmakers they
enabled.

SCOUTS
Continued from page 1
because it actually used to be at
Searsville Lake in the really old days.
So I can say, very comfortably, its
been going over 40 years.
Each summer, two camp sessions
Peninsula and Diamond Crest each
serve certain cities on the Peninsula,
ultimately covering most of San
Mateo County. Diamond Crest Day
Camp the second, and larger, of the
two sessions came to a close
Thursday, and hosted an estimated 900
scouts from first-grade and up, and any
Scout that wants to participate is welcomed.
We have been very cognizant of
doing whatever we can to accommodate
special
needs
children,
Williamson said. We sometimes have
special medical needs, we sometimes
have special behavior needs, and we do
anything we can to accommodate that.
Weve never turned a camper away for
that.
The younger campers spend their
days working toward earning badges
and enjoying camp activities like
painting birdhouses, hiking, learning
camping skills, singing and preparing
cookouts. Older campers step up to
activities like horseback riding at
Webb Ranch and archery classes, and
they eventually have the chance to
become the camp leaders of the future.
One of the things we have here is a
progression, Williamson said. The
girls who are going into seventh-grade
are aides in training, then the eighth-,
ninth- and 10th-graders are aides, and

MAIL
Continued from page 1
Yolo and San Mateo counties are participating in the pilot, which was
approved by state lawmakers last year
with the passage of Mullins Assembly
Bill 2028.
It gives San Mateo County the
authority to conduct up to three all-mail
ballot elections until the end of 2017.
Presidential elections, however, are
excluded from the pilot.
Under AB 2028, every voter gets a
ballot in the mail; return envelopes are
postage paid; voters can still vote in
person; and the county provides a
report to the state on the outcome.
There will be a limited number of
polling places open on Election Day
for those who prefer to vote in person.
Church has said the trend in the county is that more residents are choosing
to vote by mail.
In the November 2103 general election, 78 percent of San Carlos residents

10th-, 11th- and 12th-graders have the


option of being junior unit leaders.
They take on the full responsibility
and all the planning for their unit.
These are teenagers who are giving
up two weeks of their summer to come
and work. They pay, because they are
campers, but they are literally here to
be the helpers, and to me thats somehow important. Every year I see over a
hundred teenagers who give up their
summer to be here at camp and theyre
wonderful.
One of the last big events of the
camp is the graduation of the aides in
training, at which the new aides are
bequeathed with their coveted nature
names which will become their exclusive handle during camp season. The
nature name is so precious that real
names will rarely be uttered at camp
and even then, only in whispers at
some distance from the uninitiated.
The freshly minted leaders then spend
the night under the stars, literally.
There are no cabins or tents here, just
tarps and sleeping bags on the ground.
Its in the outdoors, said Junior
Unit Leader Madison Noodles
Hubbel. Its not at a school. Theres
no cement. Were surrounded by trees
and bugs.
This is not glamping. This is the
real deal.
While Scout membership is noboys-allowed, the camp is not run
exclusively by girls or scouts.
We do certainly take volunteers of
any sex, Williamson said. We dont
often get a lot of fathers who want to
volunteer, but when we do we are
thrilled to have them.
Its not just fathers breaking the
gender barrier, either. Ironically, one

of the first sights to greet camp visitors is a group of rowdy boys children of parents who take advantage of
the camps day care service to volunteer.
Meanwhile, down in civilization,
we have an army of people back home
doing things to keep the camp running, on-site manager Jo Shadow
Mitchell said of the huge amount of
food prep, supply runs and organization that go on behind the scenes to
make the camps run smoothly up on
the hill.
A lot of the people involved plan
their lives around it, Mitchell said.
Parents, grandparents, everyone,
they wouldnt miss a year.
Junior Unit Leader Danielle
Peppermint Hamer attributes this to
the quirkiness of camp traditions.
Theres a lot of unique traditions
that you cant tell people about without them thinking its outlandish,
Hamer said. But to me they make
sense because Ive been at camp so
long.
When the flames went out on
Thursday nights campfire, the Girl
Scouts ended another summer of sharing those unique traditions with girls
from all over the Peninsula, giving
them new experiences, new friends and
new skills that they can take into the
future, and likely give back in years to
come.
We have girls who are in college
and come back to be our leaders,
Williamson said. We have a grandmother me whose two daughters
and grandchildren come. Many of our
people who have been here at camp as
children are coming back. Somehow
that always makes my heart feel
happy.

cast their ballots by mail, one of the


highest rates in the county.
San Carlos could save $17,000 by
going all mail in November.
In the June 2014 primary election,
more than 77 percent of the ballots in
San Mateo County were cast by mail.
The Elections Office plans to reach
out to voters who dont usually vote by
mail and has a media campaign plan
that includes radio, digital, print and
social media.
Cost reductions under the proposal
will come from fewer election officers,
fewer voting machines and fewer
polling places.
With an all-mail ballot election, the
county is estimating a cost savings of
anywhere between one-third to one-half
the cost of a traditional election,
according to the Elections Office.
Election reform and boosting voter
turnout have been legislative priorities
for me since I arrived in Sacramento and
I am excited that all of San Mateo
County has signed on to participate in
this pilot project. It should increase
voter turnout and save taxpayer dollars

by making our election system as effective, efficient and accessible as possible. I appreciate the support of San
Mateo County Chief Elections Officer
Mark Church and his office throughout
this process and look forward to seeing
the results, Mullin wrote in a statement Thursday.
In addition to measuring voter turnout
in general, the vote-by mail pilot program will also review turnout among
different demographic groups, such as
permanent vote-by-mail status, age,
gender, ethnicity, disability and political party affiliation.
Although there are no remaining
jurisdictions that do not have a scheduled election in November one may still
request a special election on a measure
and have until Aug. 7 to do so, according to Churchs office. That jurisdiction
would then also have to vote on
whether to participate in an all-mail
election, according to Churchs office.

CITATION TO PARENT, [Family Code
Sections 7881 and 8604(a)].
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
TO: Michelle Mackey Aleman Perez:
By this citation, you are hereby advised that you may appear in Department
5 of this court on August 13, 2015 at
9:00a.m., then and there to show cause,
if any you have, why MYLEE ISABEL
PEREZ should not be declared free from
your custody and control for the purpose
of freeing her from placement for stepparent adoption, on the grounds that you
have abandoned that child. The above
referenced Adoption alleges that, for a
period of one year after January, 2014,
you willfully failed to communicate with,
and to pay for the care, support, and education of, the above-named child, although able to do so.
The following information concerns
the rights and procedures that relate to
this proceeding for the termination of
custody and control of MYLEE ISABEL
PEREZ as set forth in Family Code Sections 7860 through 7864:
1. At the beginning of the proceeding
the Court will consider whether or not the
interests of MYLEE ISABEL PEREZ require the appointment of counsel. If the
Court finds that her interests do require
protection, the Court will appoint counsel
to represent her, whether or not she is
able to afford counsel. MYLEE ISABEL
PEREZ will not be present in court unless she so requests or the Court so orders.
2. If you appear without counsel and
you are unable to afford counsel, the
Court must appoint counsel for you, unless you knowingly and intelligently
waive the right to be represented by
counsel. The Court will not appoint the
same counsel to represent both you and
your child, MYLEE ISABEL PEREZ.
3. If the Court appoints counsel for y
ou, at the end of the proceeding, the
Court will hold a hearing to determine the
amount, if any, that you will be required
to reimburse the county for the services
of your appointed counsel.
4. The Court may continue the proceeding for not more than 30 days as
necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to be acquainted with the
case.

CSUS
Continued from page 1
more than $40 million campus is up for public review through the end of August, said Jill
Grossman, a member of the CSUS Board of
Trustees.
I really feel like this is a thoughtful and
responsive plan that were proposing and a
really good use of the land for Belmont. And
were very hopeful that they see the care to
which weve gone about using the space
appropriately and addressing citizens concerns, Grossman said.
The private sixth- through 12th-grade
school currently maintains a Hillsborough
campus but seeks to expand into a separate
Belmont middle school that would allow it to
offer more programs to more students,
Grossman said.
The environmental report covers the demolition of the existing 84,500 square feet of
commercial office space and construction of
about 60,000 square feet of school facilities
comprised of a main academic building, a
gymnasium, an outdoor synthetic athletic
field, an indoor pool and 53 parking spaces.
CSUS proposal is similar to what it originally proposed in 2012 plans that were
submitted prior to purchasing the site and
which were dropped after receiving mixed
reviews from the City Council.

BELMONT
Continued from page 3
Changes to the citys Zoning and Tree
ordinances included a range of adjustments
like easing parking requirements, changing
the definition of protected trees, increasing
the maximum home size for larger lots and
creating a tiered review system with modest
additions approved by staff while larger
projects and new homes would have been
considered by the Planning Commission.
Councilman Charles Stone, who served
on the council subcommittee with Vice
Mayor Eric Reed to help develop the ordinances, said he has several recommendations he hopes will tend to concerns while
allowing the process to continue.

LOCAL

Friday July 31, 2015

Now, CSUS has returned seeking input on


its proposed mitigation measures to address a
range of impacts that primarily revolve
around traffic and noise.
The property at 6-8 and 10 Davis Drive sits
along the busy Ralston Avenue and is anticipated to increase traffic. But CSUS hopes a
strict traffic demand management, or TDM,
plan that includes at least 70 percent of students carpooling or taking public transportation, while also paying for improvements
along Ralston Avenue, will significantly mitigate the impacts of approximately 240 students and 40 faculty, Grossman said.
The review also coincides with some of the
citys efforts to improve mobility for all
users through its Ralston Avenue Corridor
Study. As part of its contribution, CSUS will
pay for a new signalized intersection at
Ralston Avenue and South Road, as well as
other improvements at the Davis Drive intersection.
Councilman Warren Lieberman said hes
looking forward to discussing how CSUS
could contribute, however, he noted Ralston
Avenue remains congested even when the
various schools near the corridor are out of
session.
I would like to understand what resources
they are going to offer to help us address our
traffic problem. But the traffic problem that
we have in Belmont today is not a cause of
Crystal Springs. But if Crystal Springs could
help us improve it, that would be a very good
thing, Lieberman said. Traffic is getting

worse and the fact is we have traffic now,


even when the schools are not in session. So
Im looking for opportunities that may provide us with ways to address the traffic problems were experiencing.
The report outlines about eight intersections currently operating below the citys
standards and which the CSUS campus could
affect. However, school officials feel it would
be more beneficial to fully fund the South
Road intersection rather than pay a smaller
fair share contribution for each intersection particularly as those improvements
could be delayed until the city secures the
remaining funds required.
We chose to do that because we wanted
something substantial to happen,
Grossman said. We want to do what helps
improve traffic on Ralston and this is an
identified project.
Grossman said parents would also be
required to sign a contract agreeing to the
schools TDM program that includes a variety of shuttles, promoting mass transportation and carpooling. The city may initially
have a bi-monthly, then less frequent, review
of the TDM to ensure its effective, according
to the report.
Other concerns raised during the schools
initial proposal were noise from both construction and a proposed pool that may be
built at a later phase. CSUS would construct a
sound barrier during the 17-month demolition and construction period and has agreed
to build an indoor pool instead.

The school has also offered a one-time $1


million payment to the citys general fund,
an annual $250,000 payment in lieu of property taxes and another $30,000 annual contribution to the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District, Grossman said.
Through an arrangement with the citys
Parks and Recreation Department, the
schools synthetic field and pool may also be
available for public use during certain days or
seasons, Grossman said.
The public has until Aug. 29 to comment
on the draft environmental impact report
before the city-chosen consultant finalizes
the report. It will also be open for public
comment during a Planning Commission and
City Council review.
Councilman Charles Stone, who first
became interested in running for office after
seeing the council debate the schools original proposal, said hes hopeful school officials will be mindful of the communitys
interests.
I am looking forward to reviewing the
project when its in front of us. Whatever
the outcome is, it has to be something that
works for Belmont, Stone said. I think that
the thorough EIR shows that theyre very
serious about taking into account any effects
that their project might have on the town.

jobs but cannot afford to live in the area,


Frisella said.
Your idea of homeless people changes
dramatically if you visit. These are good
people who are down on their luck, she
said.
Mullin and Hill helped secure the permits
required when the shelter moved from San

Mateo to its new home in South San


Francisco.
Its hard to believe you spent only
$100,000 because the place looks like a
million bucks, Hershman said about the
makeover.
Through collaboration with emergency
service organizations such as Samaritan

House, HIF also funds emergency housing


grants of up to $2,500 that provide the
immediate bridge necessary to keep individuals and families in their homes.
Samaritan Houses free services include
shelter; free medical and dental clinics;
clothes for children; and personalized case
management.

Stone suggests expanding the subcommittee into an ad hoc committee that


includes members of the community, staff,
as well as representatives from the Planning
and Parks and Recreation commissions.
Stone said hed agree to lengthen the
process by taking up the amendments in
four or five organized sections.
Still, Lieberman and Stone said they dont
want to lose sight of those who support the
amendments and are seeking to remodel
their homes.
It gives us further opportunity to discuss
the issues surrounding these amendments
and hopefully alleviate some of the concerns people have, Stone said. But I dont
want an open-ended process. I think we owe
it to the community members who need
some relief to try and move through this.
The council, subcommittee, staff and
Planning Commission spent more than a

year developing the ordinances that were


open for public comment at 10 meetings.
However, some remain skeptical about a
lack of transparency.
The citizens group makes a point that it
cannot represent the variety of opinions
amongst those who signed the referendum
petitions; instead, breaking down the ordinances into more digestible pieces would
allow people more time to comment and
provide input, according to the letter.
Pierce said while hes hesitant to hold out
hope the council will address the concerns
Ask Belmont Citizens raised, everyone

should strive to craft a thoughtful solution


to fact-based problems.
No ones asking for extensive changes
in Belmonts neighborhoods, and thats
what theyre trying to give us and thats the
root of the problem, Pierce said. But they
could absolutely switch gears. The opportunity is there for them to say OK, we recognize that we need to do this in a way that
the public understands and supports.
