‘Sand’Franciscans create Golden Gate Park
I
n the beginning, it wasn’t golden and it
wasn’t green either. It was more like
your basic beige. And it certainly didn’t
look like a park. On an 1853 map, the area
was labeled the “Great Sand Bank.”
Exploding from a population of about 1,000
in 1848 to over 150,000 by 1870, San
Francisco itself became a colorful and rowdy
city thanks to the Gold Rush. When women
and children began arriving, they brought a
mitigating influence. They wanted a more
respectable environment for their families:
schools, churches, museums, playgrounds and
parks. Many had come from the East Coast
where there were village greens and commons
available for everyone. The more crowded the
cities became, the more the citizenry yearned
to breathe free, to relax and commune with
nature. New York City had Central Park, a
magnificent green oasis designed by the great
Frederick Law Olmstead.
The idea for such a park in San Francisco
began in the 1860s. When Olmstead was con-
sulted about the feasibility, his advice was to
forget about it. San Francisco had two big
problems. The proposed park area, called the
“Outside Lands,” was one big sand pile and,
although it was surrounded by ocean and Bay
waters, there was very little fresh water readi-
ly available. Green-growing things need dirt
and water.
But San Franciscans have never been afraid
to tackle the difficult, with the impossible tak-
ing just a little longer. After the total devasta-
tion from the 1906 earthquake, not only
would they rebuild the city in record time, but

they would put on a first-class world expo in
1915. Fast forward a few years more, and they
would build one of the most extraordinary
bridges in the world across the Golden Gate.
The sand dunes were another mission
impossible, always shifting and drifting.
Trying to stabilize them was like nailing down
Jell-O. The sand had accumulated over thou-
sands of years from erosion of the Sierra
Nevada with the sediment working its way
downhill and into the Bay, and from the action
of the Pacific surf against the cliffs and shore.
The westerly winds blew the sand inland and
rearranged the dunes daily. It was on that sea
of sand that William Hammond Hall came on
the scene in 1870 to chart the course as the
first park planner, and in 1871 he was named
first superintendent. Hall (1846-1934), a civil
engineer, had already studied the sand dunes
and readily produced a topographical survey
of the area.
It was decided to begin work on the eastern
270 acres first, in particular the “Panhandle”-
shaped section closest to the city, and gradu-
ally move westward. One primary reason for
beginning at the eastern end was the problem
Monday• July 19, 2010 3
of transportation for the public. A system of
trolleys, cable cars and trains would later be
put in place to take people farther into the
park.
While many of the dunes were anchored by
deep-rooted native species, the plans called
for stabilizing the whole area and planting
new and varied species. The first seeds plant-
ed did not have time to root before being
blown away by the wind. Then they tried
planting seeds and weighting them down with
topsoil and organic material, including
manure from the city’s many horses. This was
better, but the erection of board fences and
piles of brush to shelter the plantings until
they rooted was even more successful.
The next challenge was fresh water. The
Spring Valley Water Co. contributed the liquid
gold for the first seven years, but the park
commission needed to find a source within the
park. They drilled wells over in the western
area and used windmills to pump the water
up.
In 1887, Hall hired the legendary horticul-
turist John McLaren as assistant superintend-
ent, giving him the job of landscaping the area
called the Children’s Quarters. McLaren
(1846-1943) was born in Scotland and had
considerable experience working on estates
and in botanical gardens. He settled in San
Mateo County and was soon in demand by the
owners of the grand estates for his landscape
designs. He would become park superintend-
ent in 1890 and keep the job for 53 years.
It had been decided early on that the eastern
and most accessible section of the park would
be dedicated to mothers and children. With a

Pot-growing plan worries budtenders
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — After weathering
the fear of federal prosecution and
competition from drug cartels,
California’s medical marijuana
growers see a new threat to their
tenuous existence: the “Wal-
Marting” of weed.
The Oakland City Council on
Tuesday will look at licensing four
production plants where pot would
be grown, packaged and processed
into items ranging from baked
goods to body oil. Winning appli-
cants would have to pay $211,000
in annual permit fees, carry $2 mil-
lion worth of liability insurance and
be prepared to devote up to 8 per-
cent of gross sales to taxes.
The move, and fledgling efforts in
other California cities to sanction
cannabis cultivation for the first
time, has some marijuana advocates
worried that regulations intended to
bring order to the outlaw industry
and new revenues to cash-strapped
local governments could drive small
“mom and pop” growers out of
business. They complain that indus-
trial-scale gardens would harm the
environment, reduce quality and
leave consumers with fewer strains
from which to choose.
“Nobody wants to see the
McDonald’s-ization of cannabis,”
Dan Scully, one of the 400 “patient-
“Nobody wants to see the McDonald’s-ization of cannabis.”
— Dan Scully,one of the 400 “patient-growers”who supply Oakland’s largest retail medical marijuana dispensary
growers” who supply Oakland’s
largest retail medical marijuana dis-
pensary, Harborside Health Center,
grumbled after a City Council com-
mittee gave the blueprint prelimi-
nary approval last week. “I would
compare it to how a small business
feels about shutting down its busi-
ness and going to work at Wal-Mart.
Who would be attracted to that?”
Tax scofflaws
The proposal’s supporters,
including entrepreneurs more dis-
posed to neckties than tie-dye,
counter that unregulated growers
working in covert warehouses or
houses are tax scofflaws more likely
to wreak environmental havoc, be
motivated purely by profit and pro-
duce inferior products.
“The large-scale grow facilities
that are being proposed with this
ordinance will create hundreds of
jobs for the city,” said Ryan Indigo
Warman, who teaches pot-growing
techniques at iGrow, a hydroponics
store whose owners plan to apply
for one of the four permits. “The
ordinance is good for Oakland, and
anyone who says otherwise is only
protecting their own interests.”
Council members Rebecca
Kaplan and Larry Reid, who intro-
duced the plan, have pitched it
largely as a public safety measure.
The Oakland fire department
blames a dramatic rise in the num-
BAY AREA
ber of electrical fires between 2006
and 2009 in part to marijuana being
grown indoors with improperly
wired fans and lights. The police
department says eight robberies,
seven burglaries and two murders
have been linked to marijuana
grows in the last two years.
Reid and Kaplan also are open
about their desire to have the city,
which last week laid off 80 police
officers to save money, cash in on
the medical marijuana industry it
has allowed to thrive.
Oakland’s four retail marijuana
stores did $28 million in business
last year, and if sales remain con-
stant, the city would get $1.5 mil-
lion this year from a dispensary
business tax that voters adopted last
summer. A similar tax on wholesale
pot sales from the permitted grow
sites to the dispensaries would bring
in more than twice that amount, the
city administrator’s office has esti-
mated.
“Allowing medical cannabis and
medical cannabis products to be
produced in a responsible, above-
board and legitimate way will be a
benefit to the patients, to the work-
ers and to the people of Oakland,”
Kaplan said.
Adding to the anxiety of growers
— and the impetus Oakland offi-
cials have to get the grow tax in
place — is a November state ballot
measure to legalize marijuana pos-
session for adult recreational use
and authorize local governments to
license and tax non-medical pot
sales.
If it passes, Proposition 19 is
expected to feed the state’s hearty
appetite for marijuana. Backers of
creating the four big indoor gardens
say the plan is not dependent on
legalization, but would benefit from
it.
“The reality is, this is an issue that
is going to grow. I would like it to
grow here. I would like it to be
Oakland business and not the tobac-
co industry,” Councilwoman Jean
Quan said.
Silent on cultivation
Regulating the supply side of the
business would represent another
turning point in California’s compli-
cated, 14-year-old relationship with
medical marijuana. Although
Maine, New Mexico and Rhode
Island license nonprofit groups to
produce and distribute cannabis,
California’s law is silent on cultiva-
tion other than for individual use.
Even as hundreds of storefront
pot dispensaries, marijuana delivery
services and THC-laced food prod-
ucts have flourished, the question of
where they get their stashes remains
murky: Inquiring is considered as
impolite as asking someone’s
income or age.
Industry insiders usually say they
Monday• July 19, 2010 5
rely on a variety of sources, includ-
ing farmers who grow outdoors in
the far northern end of the state,
contractors who run sophisticated
indoor operations, and customers
who grow their own and sell the sur-
plus.
Officials in Berkeley and Long
Beach also are moving take the
mystery out of medical marijuana
production.
The Berkeley City Council last
week approved a measure for the
November ballot that would author-
ize the city to license and tax six pot
cultivation sites. Companies run-
ning the facilities must agree to give
away some pot to low-income users,
employ organic gardening methods
to the extent possible and offset in
some way the large amount of elec-
tricity needed to grow weed.
Long Beach officials want to
reduce the amount of medical mari-
juana being sold in the city that isn’t
grown there.
The city is in the process of trying
to whittle its more than 90 dispen-
saries down to no more than 35 mar-
ijuana collectives through a lottery.
License winners will be required to
grow either at their retail sites or
elsewhere in Long Beach and to
open their books to prove they
aren’t growing more than enough to
supply their members, said Lori
Ann Farrell, Long Beach’s director
of financial management.

BP,feds clash over reopening well
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — BP and the
Obama administration offered sig-
nificantly differing views Sunday
on whether the capped Gulf of
Mexico oil well will have to be
reopened, a contradiction that may
be an effort by the oil giant to avoid
blame if crude starts spewing again.
Pilloried for nearly three months
as it tried repeatedly to stop the
leak, BP PLC capped the nearly
mile-deep well Thursday and wants
to keep it that way. The govern-
ment’s plan, however, is to eventu-
ally pipe oil to the surface, which
would ease pressure on the fragile
well but would require up to three
more days of oil spilling into the
Gulf.

Ex-Gov.Blagojevich likely to testify this week
By Mike Robinson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — After promising
for a year and a half to take the wit-
ness stand, Rod Blagojevich is like-
ly to testify in his own defense at
his federal corruption trial this
week in a long-awaited duel of wits
and wills with federal prosecutors.
Unlike in his TV interviews,
Blagojevich is going to be under
oath. And the grilling he gets from
government attorneys about
charges that he sought to sell or
trade President Barack Obama’s
former Senate seat is guaranteed to
be tougher than anything he faced
on the talk show circuit.
“Barbara Walters is not going to

more oil flow into the Gulf of
Mexico,” Doug Suttles, BP’s chief
operating officer, said Sunday.
“Right now we don’t have a target
to return the well to flow.”
An administration official famil-
iar with the spill oversight, however,
told The Associated Press that a
seep and possible methane were
found near the busted oil well. The
official spoke on condition of
anonymity Sunday because an
announcement about the next steps
had not been made yet.

pressure readings on the cap

worse and harder to fix.
The official, who would not clari-

also said BP is not complying with

Salt would only say that “we con-

Suicide attacks kill at least 48 in Iraq

Shakespeare alive and well
W
e just returned from a
trip to Ashland, Ore.,
happy to report that
Shakespeare is not only alive and
well, but thriving in the festival’s
75th anniversary performances.
Our last visit was in 1967. Then we
took our two young boys and man-
aged to survive a very cold evening
watching an outdoor production of
King Lear or some other long
tragedy. This time we didn’t just
watch a play, we actually enjoyed
it. This year’s Hamlet is a winner.
Even though it is performed in
modern dress (which some audi-
ence members find offensive), you
are so mesmerized by the outstand-
ing cast that the three-hour per-
formance is soon over. Many of us
studied “Hamlet” either in high
school or college, have seen
Laurence Olivier and Kenneth
Branagh in the movie versions, or
have caught a live performance
somewhere. But this is the first
time I lost myself in the play and
felt the Danish prince’s angst.
He recalled several real life situa-
tions of friends who have lost a
spouse, married again but whose
children refuse to accept a new
mom or dad. Add to that not so
uncommon scenario the discovery
that your new father, your mother’s
new husband, is the one who killed
your beloved dad. And to make
matters worse, he’s your uncle. No
wonder Hamlet becomes unhinged.
The big question for the audience
is why Hamlet just doesn’t get it
over with and kill his uncle in Act
I. Shakespeare wants to toy with us
as he does with Hamlet. Our hero
is a moral young man, an intellec-
tual, not one to act unless he has
analyzed the situation. And he
wants proof his uncle is the culprit
and his father’s ghost knows what
he’s talking about.
The play within a play is performed by a
traveling rap group. I was waiting for my
husband to leave the theater at this point. He
stayed and didn’t even complain.
Except in this year’s Ashland
rendition, the ghost does not speak.
He is played by a deaf actor who
signs. Hamlet interprets. Rather
than coming across as strange it is
very effective.
The play within a play is per-
formed by a traveling rap group. I
was waiting for my husband to
leave the theater at this point. He
stayed and didn’t even complain.
That’s because this is not a politi-
cally correct interpretation of a
famous work. Instead, Don
Donohue, who plays Hamlet, and
the rest of the cast are outstanding
actors and interpreters of
Shakespeare’s most introspective
play.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival
opened in July 1935 with a summer
performance of “Twelfth Night,”
followed by “The Merchant of
Venice.” It was the brain child of
Angus Bowmer, a teacher at the
local Southern Oregon Normal
School, now Southern Oregon
University. Ashland was a sleepy,
undistinguished rural town with a
railroad which ran through the mid-
dle of downtown. By the 1950s, the
festival had sufficiently matured to
hire its first paid full-time employ-
ee, general manager William
Patton. Patton had enlisted the help
of a Stanford drama student to join
him at Ashland during the previous
summer. He was Richard Hay later
to become designer and technical
director. The two young men
worked for free and supported
themselves by selling fireworks
OPINION
over the Fourth of July holidays.
Today, thanks to the festival,
Ashland is a city of 20,000. Its
world famous repertory theater
(both Shakespeare and non-
Shakespeare) operates from
February to October in three the-
aters and offers nine plays. In a
typical year, they sell 350,000 tick-
ets and attract about 100,000
tourists. The festival has had sever-
al directors since Patton. Bill
Rauch, who directed this year’s
“Hamlet,” is the new artistic direc-
tor. Richard Hay remains as senior
scenic and theater designer but
works part time.

Parents and students of
Burlingame and Mills high schools
have fond memories of Marshall
Umpleby, former Burlingame High
English teacher and Mills High
principal. Marshall and his wife
Mimi, former San Mateo residents,
moved to Ashland a decade ago.
Now, they volunteer for the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival. And Marshall
did more than give his time this
year; he gave his tie. In the first act
Hamlet appears in a dark suit, shirt
and tie, his mourning attire. During
an anguished encounter with
Ophelia, he takes the gardening
scissors from her hand and cuts his
tie in two. The company did not
want to be out a tie each night so
they asked volunteers to contribute
(We don’t know if we saw
Marshall’s or someone else’s tie
being severed). Twenty-four hours
of volunteer time earns you free
tickets to the plays during the off-
season. The Umplebys are enjoying
their new life, 20 miles north of the
California border. Who wouldn’t?

Note on last week’s column,
“Election versus costs”: Michael
Stogner, a man on the move,
informs me he is also a declared
candidate for Mark Church’s seat.
He moved to Belmont to be eligi-
ble for Jerry Hill’s seat. But after
Carole Groom was appointed, he
moved back to San Carlos, his for-
mer and present residence.
However, he says he will move
again to District 1 (Church’s dis-
trict, which includes Millbrae,
Burlingame and Hillsborough) as
soon as the seat becomes vacant.
Also, if the charter review commit-
tee’s new process for filling vacan-
cies is approved by the voters,
then: 1). there has to be an election
to fill Church’s seat, not an
appointment; and 2). the vacancy
could be filled through an “all-mail
ballot” special election at the
option of the Board of Supervisors.

Questions for Caltrain
Editor,
In regards to “City criticizes
high-speed rail alternative” in the
June 19 edition of the Daily
Journal, I, too, have funding ques-
tions.
Caltrain has demonstrated the
ability to alter the facts to create a
reality that does not exist, in that it
has not addressed the below ques-
tions with straight-forward
answers. Also, it seems to me that
Caltrain’s spokespeople have
adopted the attitude that they do
not want to address any questions
that contradict their preconceived
opinions and push forward with
this “Albatross” of a rail program.
Letters to the editor
First, is there enough money
allocated to pay for the complete
project from San Francisco to Los
Angeles. If the project runs out of
money and the project has not been
completed, what then?
Second, based upon the estimat-
ed cost of completion, what is the
anticipated inflation figure, hence
the true cost of the project? We just
need to look in our own backyard
and look at the Bay Bridge project
to see cost overruns and misman-
agement of taxpayers’ money.
Third, what is the estimated con-
struction cost difference per linear
mile for above ground, at grade,
open trench, and tunneling and
how does that figure for the
Peninsula?
Fourth, has there been a compar-
ison between union and non-union

An ode to Coyote Point
Editor,
Thanks to the “Rediscovering the
Peninsula” column on the Pacific
City amusement park written by
Darold Fredericks in the July 12,
2010 issue of the San Mateo Daily
Journal, I learned another chapter
in the history of Coyote Point. I
certainly would not have learned it
at the Coyote Point Museum, a
museum that would be better
served if it featured more human
history. I felt so strongly about this
that I wrote a poem titled, “The
Ghosts of Coyote Point”:
There are silent monuments at
Coyote Point; Where restless
ghosts yearn to be heard.
The ‘20s Pacific City packed ‘em
in; With flappers, flivvers and boot-
leg gin.
The waves at the half-moon
beach reach the knees; A lure in
heat, but not fog and breeze.
The roller coaster, the dance
floor, and pier; All gone without a
tear.
There are other ghosts. Indian,
missionaries, farmers. But most
wore the blue; Of the merchant
marine of World War II.
They trained here after Pacific
City’s fun; And died at faraway
places, like the Murmansk run.
Today there’s a Coyote Point
Museum; but don’t look for any of
the above. It’s dedicated to animals
and plants. Can’t you feel the love?

Developer scaling back ski resort plans
MINTURN, Colo. — The company developing a private
ski resort in Minturn has scaled back the original develop-
er’s plans in response to the recession and concerns about
how much water it would use.
Canada-based Crave Real Estate removed Ginn Co.’s
plans for a golf course, hotel and two-thirds of the com-
mercial space from designs for Battle Mountain. The new
plan envisions the town providing most of the restaurants
and businesses for the resort community. It also is reducing
the number of planned ski lifts from 13 to four or five.
BP’s future in doubt
By Chris Kahn and Jane Wardell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The future of BP PLC
has shifted in recent days from a death-
watch discussion to a debate about how
valuable the British oil giant will be after it
finishes paying for the worst offshore oil
spill in U.S. history.
BP gained temporary control of its bro-
ken well in the Gulf of Mexico on
Thursday and is counting on shutting it off
permanently within weeks. Its shares have
regained more than a quarter of the value
lost in the wake of the April 20 explosion
on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. Talk
of a possible bankruptcy or takeover of the
company has mostly faded.
But the company still faces the daunting
task of paying huge government fines and
royalty payments, cleanup costs, damage
claims and legal expenses for years.
Analysts estimate BP’s final tab for the
Gulf oil spill will be anywhere from $50
billion to $100 billion.
Many analysts feel BP can cover the
costs if they’re spread out over years or
even decades. But others don’t like the
uncertainty. They note that the asset sales
needed to offset at least part of those costs
will likely make it a smaller company with
reduced cash flow.
“We still don’t have any way of gauging”
how much BP could eventually spend on
the spill, Macquarie Research analyst Jason
Gammel said. “We’re certainly not buying
the stock.”
Others are more encouraged. “People are
relatively optimistic about the situation for
the first time since this started,” said
Dougie Youngson, an analyst with
Arbuthnot Securities in London.
BP shares traded in the U.S. were worth
$60.48 on April 20, hours before the explo-
sion of the drilling rig triggered the oil spill.
They then spiraled downward to as low as
$26.75 during trading on June 28. That
slide wiped out $105 billion in market cap-
italization.
The stock began to rebound this month
as details emerged about the possible sale
of $10 billion or more in assets to help
cover BP’s liabilities. The temporary cap-
ping of the well helped send the stock 9
percent higher last week to $37.10.
BP promised the Obama administration
it will set aside $20 billion over four years
to pay spill-related claims along the Gulf
and has spent $3.5 billion so far. But
beyond that, BP says “it is too early to
quantify other potential costs and liabilities
associated with the incident.”
Those include:
• Possible civil fines of up to $1,000 for
every barrel of oil spilled. With the govern-
ment’s estimate of the spill ranging from
2.15 million to 4.3 million barrels, the fine
could be from $2.15 billion to $4.3 billion.
• The government also wants BP to pay
royalties at a rate of 18.75 percent on the oil
it collected from the well. BP put that fig-
ure at 826,800 barrels. However, the com-
pany could also owe royalties on the oil
spillled into the Gulf if investigators deter-
mine that the spill was the result of BP’s
negligence.
• BP has vowed to stay in the Gulf until
the oil is cleaned up, which will take years.
It’s hired thousands of people to clean
beaches and marshes and skim oil off the
water. It also has to pay cleanup costs
incurred by the government.
• Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and MOEX
LLC, BP’s partners in the blown-out well,
are contractually obligated to pay 25 per-
cent and 10 percent of the costs, respec-
tively. But they have refused to pay BP’s
initial bills totaling $388 million because
they claim BP was negligent in its manage-
ment of the well.

Landmark auto-repair legislation considered

By Lyle Moran
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — When Mary Burke
recently took her 2007 Honda Element
with its worn-out ignition switch to her
regular repair shop, the mechanic didn’t
have the software to fix the problem.
The shop’s owner, Glenn Wilder, said
he had to take Burke’s car to a Honda
dealership — because those are the only
places Honda releases the computer soft-
ware he needed. Burke said she paid much
more for the repair than she would have at
Wilder’s shop and was without her car for
a day.
“I was totally frustrated and upset with
the whole situation and the way Honda
had a stranglehold on how Glenn had to
do it,” said Burke, who lives in
Marshfield, 30 miles southeast of Boston.
Now mom-and-pop repair shops like
Wilder Brothers American Car Care
Center in Scituate are pushing a bill that
would require auto manufacturers to pro-
vide, at a price, all the diagnostic and soft-
ware information they make available to
their dealerships.
Massachusetts would become the first
state to approve the so-called auto right-
to-repair law. The Senate recently passed
it, and it’s pending in the House. Industry
observers say passage of the bill in
Massachusetts could drive similar legisla-
tive efforts in other states.
Car dealers and manufacturers, includ-
ing Honda, have vigorously opposed the
right-to-repair bill on the federal level and
in other states, such as New Jersey and
Arizona. They say the push for the bill
isn’t about consumers but about auto
parts. A spokesman for the Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers, an associa-
tion of 11 vehicle manufacturers including
Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Co. and
General Motors Co., said aftermarket
parts companies are seeking information
that would enable them to make inexpen-
sive parts in foreign countries without
incurring research and development costs.
“This is a thinly veiled attempt by parts
manufacturers to lower the cost of reman-
ufacturing original equipment of manu-
facturer parts,” alliance spokesman
Charles Territo said. “Once this informa-
tion is released, that intellectual property
will be in China by the end of the month.”

Jobless in Cuba?
Communism faces
the unthinkable
By Anne-Marie Garcia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA — At a state project to refurbish a decaying build-

ing in Old Havana, one worker paints a wall white while two
others watch. A fourth sleeps in a wheelbarrow positioned in a
sliver of shade nearby and two more smoke and chat on the
curb.
President Raul Castro has startled the nation lately by saying
about one in five Cuban workers may be redundant. At the work
site on Obispo street, those numbers run in reverse.
It’s a common sight in communist Cuba. Here, nearly every-
one works for the state and official unemployment is minus-
cule, but pay is so low that Cubans like to joke that “the state
pretends to pay us and we pretend to work.”
Now, facing a severe budget deficit, the government has hint-
ed at restructuring or trimming its bloated work force. Such talk
is causing tension, however, in a country where guaranteed
employment was a building block of the 1959 revolution that
swept Fidel Castro to power.
Details are sketchy on how and when such pruning would
take place. Still, acknowledgment that cuts are needed has
come from Raul Castro himself.
“We know that there are hundreds of thousands of unneces-
sary workers on the budget and labor books, and some analysts
calculate that the excess of jobs has surpassed 1 million,” said
Castro, who replaced his ailing brother Fidel as president near-
ly four years ago. Cuba’s work force totals 5.1 million, in a
population of 11.2 million.
In his nationally televised speech in April, Castro also had
harsh words for those who do little to deserve their salaries.
“Without people feeling the need to work to make a living,
sheltered by state regulations that are excessively paternalistic
and irrational, we will never stimulate a love for work,” he said.

San Mateo wins baseball title in style
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When the going gets tough, the
San Mateo Post 82 baseball team
gets going.
The Shockers won their eighth
American Legion Area 2 champi-
onship in the last nine years on
Sunday, defeating San Carlos 6-4 in
the winner-take-all title game at
Washington Park. San Mateo,
which advances to the state tourna-
ment in Yountville later this week,
captured its latest Area 2 title in
style. The Shockers needed to beat
the Tribe twice on Sunday after los-
ing to the regular-season Peninsula
League champions Saturday in the
winner’s bracket semifinal.
That made the Shockers 0-3
against San Carlos entering
Sunday’s play; they also lost to the
Tribe twice in the regular-season.
However, in typical San Mateo
fashion, it played its best when the
stakes were highest. The Shockers
steamrolled San Carlos 12-0 in
Sunday’s first game, which ended
after five innings due to the mercy
rule.
“It’s a great feeling to get the job
done again,” said San Mateo pitcher
Johnny Lloyd, who allowed just
three hits and two runs over 6 2/3
innings in Sunday’s second game.
“All the guys were pumped up
because this team is used to win-
ning, but you still have to go out on
the field and do it.”
And the Shockers have proved
they’re the cream of the American
Legion crop time and again. They
never trailed in the decisive winner-
take-all contest, taking a 4-0 lead
after three innings. San Carlos did
make things plenty interesting at the
end, scoring two runs in the top of
the seventh inning and two more in
the eighth to make it 4-4.
However, San Mateo responded
with two in the bottom half before
closing things out in the ninth. It

Oosthuizen wins Open Mets

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP)
— Louis Oosthuizen walked over
the Swilcan Bridge toward a victory
that was never in doubt Sunday at
St. Andrews, another big moment in
sports for South Africa.
This celebration, though, carried a
different tune.
The drone of vuvuzelas, all the
rage at the World Cup, was replaced
by the skirl of bagpipes coming
from behind the Royal & Ancient
clubhouse. For the 27-year-old
South African, the sound could not
have been sweeter.
With a performance that rivaled
the dominance of Tiger Woods at the
home of golf 10 years ago,
Oosthuizen led over the final 48
holes and blew away the field by
seven shots to capture the British
Open.
“To win an Open championship is
special,” Oosthuizen said. “But to
win it at St. Andrews ... it’s some-
thing you dream about.”
The timing could not have been
better — one week after South
Africa concluded a wildly popular
World Cup, and the day Nelson
Mandela celebrated his 92nd birth-
day.
“It felt a bit special, really,” he
said. “When I walked down 18, I
was thinking about his birthday.”
By then, the hard work was done.

SAN FRANCISCO — Mets out-
fielder Jason Bay had put his head
down and took a few steps in think-
ing the game was over. It wasn’t,
and he took advantage of the extra
chance.
Ike Davis doubled him home for
the go-ahead run in 10th inning after
the Mets had wasted a two-run lead
in the ninth, and New York survived
a wild ending to beat the San
Francisco Giants 4-3 on Sunday and
avoid a four-game sweep.
Pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa hit a
tying, two-run single in the ninth
inning for San Francisco, but he was
thrown out at the plate on an infield
chopper as the potential winning
run. Replays showed Ishikawa
appeared safe as he slid into home.
“When you see the catcher jump
you think it’s over,” Bay said. “We
had no business losing that game,
and at the same time, there was a
point we had no business winning
that game. We don’t have the luxury
when (Johan) Santana gives up one
run of not winning his starts.”
Giants manager Bruce Bochy also
thought the game was over and his
team had won.
“He missed it,” Bochy said of
plate umpire Phil Cuzzi. “It was a

Unfortunately that call went against

Rare sight:Woods playing out the string in major us.”

Ishikawa said he went through a
spectrum of emotions as he slid
home.

S
T. ANDREWS — His day was effective-
ly over by the fourth hole, where Tiger
Woods needed two tries to get out of a pot
bunker. What followed was something rarer still:
Woods simply playing out the string in a major.
It’s been a half-dozen years since he came
down the back nine on Sunday in a grand slam
event with absolutely nothing at stake. With good
pal Lucas Glover in tow, Woods played fast,
casually and laughed a lot, looking to all the
world like a guy resigned to his fate. Scolds no
doubt will point to his performance here as more
evidence that all those romps off the course
sapped nearly all of his strength and resolve on it.
Woods won the last two times the Open
stopped off at St. Andrews, once by a record mar-
gin, and the best he could muster this time around
was a tie for 23rd. Coming on the heels of fourth-
place finishes at the Masters and the U.S. Open,
two other major championship venues where he
also won by record margins, they’d have you
believe he’s become
Samson in golf spikes —
after the haircut.
But Woods is going to
make them look foolish
soon enough.
Only he knows where his
head is at and his game
remains a work in progress.
Woods still can’t putt, he’s
so-so with his irons and
most troubling, he’s back to
JIM LITKE making the big mistakes
that produce momentum-
killing double-bogeys, as he did at No. 4 Sunday.
Yet he hasn’t hit so many tee shots this sweetly in
years.
“It’s ironic that as soon as I start driving it on a
string, I miss everything,” he said. “Maybe I
should go back to spraying it all over the lot and
make everything.”
Perhaps more important, though, he’s most of
the way back to being regarded as a golfer instead
of a pariah — at least on the course. As his com-
fort level rises, so does his confidence. The
tabloids here did their best all week daring fans to
give Woods the English version of a Bronx cheer.
Instead, he drew applause from every corner of
St. Andrews and saw nothing more provocative
than three woman who shed their jackets on one
tee to reveal matching Tiger-print blouses — they
were hired by an Irish bookie looking for public-
ity — yet even they turned out to be on his side.
Not long ago, with Woods in the middle of a
winning streak that positively spooked his rivals,
Stewart Cink wondered what they’d find if they
sliced him open.
“Maybe,” Cink mused, “nuts and bolts.”
But you only had to see Woods talking about
his reception on this chilly, wind-swept coast to
know how relieved he was.
See LITKE, Page 12
“Phil and I disagreed,” Ishikawa
said. “To be so sure of something
and I guess I was wrong. I saw the
replay and it was closer than I
thought it was initially. I didn’t think
it was anywhere near close, but I
still think like I had made it.”
Giants closer Brian Wilson (2-1)
got the first two outs of the 10th
before giving up Bay’s third single
of the game. Davis, who also drove
in a run in the eighth, doubled high
off the right field wall for the go-
ahead run.
“I was scoring regardless,” Bay
said. “I was not going to be
stopped.”

Bettencourt wins Reno-Tahoe Open
RENO, Nev. — Matt Bettencourt eagled on

stroke to win for the first time on the PGA

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t in the lead, but still
it was very warm. ... For them to be as warm
as they were,” Woods said, then let his voice
trail off for a moment.
The question is how long the galleries will
feel that way, considering how much ground
he’s already given up.
This, after all, was supposed to be his year.
He was shut out of the majors in 2009, but the
first three grand slam events were at courses
where Woods had won seven of his career
total of 14 — Augusta, Pebble Beach and the
Old Course.
Few doubted he’d be a step or two closer to
Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 by the time his jet
left Scotland in the distance. Then his SUV
went pin-balling down the driveway hours
after what must have been a tense
Thanksgiving dinner and changed everything.
In January, while Woods was still in hiding
and on what he called an “indefinite break,”
Nicklaus said, “If Tiger is going to pass my
record, this is a big year for him.” By June,
Jack had changed his tune only slightly.
“Do I still think Tiger will break my record?
Yeah, I think he probably will. He is a very

Heintz (69) missed a three-foot birdie putt

dedicated, hard-working golfer. But then
again, I always said you have to do it. It’s not
just gimme. You have got to go do it,”
Nicklaus said. “We’ll watch.”
The scene shifts first to Firestone, where
Woods has won the tour event seven times,
and then to Wisconsin and Whistling Straits,
site of next month’s PGA Championship and
the season’s final major. The last time Woods
played in the PGA there, he finished tied for
24th.
“This week I kept having long putts, and I
wasn’t real steady in the wind out there,” he
said. “Where we’re going to be playing from
here on in, it’s not going to blow like this, so I
won’t have that problem.”
Maybe.
Whistling Straits sits along the bluffs of
Lake Michigan, a breezy spot to be sure. But
it’s nothing like St. Andrews, where stiff gusts
off the North Sea toss around almost anything
that isn’t tied down. For all his fond memories
of the place, Woods was already focusing
somewhere down the road.
“You’ve won half your majors at venues
that we’ve seen this year,” a reporter began.
“How disappointed are you to be walking
away with none this year?”
Woods cracked a smile.
“The good news,” he said, “is I’ve won half
of them not on these venues, too.”

with a 1-under 71 for a seven-shot victory
over Lee Westwood, who was never in the
game.
The only challenge came from Paul Casey,
who got within three shots after the eighth
hole, then drove the green on the par-4 ninth.
Oosthuizen answered by hitting driver onto
the green and knocking in a 50-foot eagle putt
to restore his cushion.
Three holes later, Casey hit into a gorse
bush and made triple bogey, while Oosthuizen
holed an 18-foot birdie putt.
Oosthuizen spent the final hour soaking up
an atmosphere unlike any other in golf with
his caddie, Zack Rasego. He finished at 16-
under 272 and became the first player since
Tony Lema in 1964 to win his first major at St.
Andrews.
Just as Lema did when he won, Oosthuizen
ordered bottles of champagne for the press.
Never mind that everyone struggled to pro-
nounce his name. All that mattered was the
spelling on the bottom of that claret jug. And
yes, the engraver used the abbreviated version
— Louis — not his given name of Lodewicus
Theodorus Oosthuizen.
With the fifth victory of his career,
Oosthuizen moved to No. 15 in the world.
And as a sign of just how global golf has
become, it’s the second time this decade that
the four major championship trophies reside
on four continents.
“Nobody was going to stop him,” said
Casey, whose adventures in the gorse sent him
to a 75 and a tie for third with Rory McIlroy
(68) and Henrik Stenson (71). “He didn’t miss
a shot today. I don’t know if he missed one all
week. That was four days of tremendous golf.
He didn’t flinch today.”
No, there was only that gap-tooth smile that
earned him the nickname “Shrek” from his
friends. And there was amazement across his
face when he cradled the oldest trophy in golf,
a silver claret jug with his name etched along-
side Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, and
the other South African winners — Gary
Player, Bobby Locke and Ernie Els, his men-
tor.
Without the Ernie Els & Fancourt
Foundation in South Africa, the son of a
farmer could not have afforded the travel
required to reach the game’s highest level.
“It was great to have a South African win-
ning it on Mandela Day,” said Dennis Bruyns,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the chief executive of the Southern Africa
PGA. “And there was a great sense of satis-
faction in having a South African caddie with
him, too.”
It was the fifth major for the Springboks
dating to Retief Goosen winning the U.S.
Open in 2001, and the first at the British Open
since Els won at Muirfield in 2002, a victory
that inspired Oosthuizen.
“Shrek is on the move,” Goosen said. “I
knew he had a lot of talent. He grew up in an
area (Mossel Bay) that’s very windy, so for
him, these conditions are normal. The guy’s
got one of the best swings on tour. I think he’ll
be around for many years to come.”
Some 45 miles away, Player was returning
from a golf outing and listening to every shot
on the radio, proud as can be. He saw the
potential during a practice round they played
at the Masters this year.
Player called Oosthuizen on Sunday morn-
ing and gave him a pep talk.
“I told him he’s got to realize that lots of
people are hitting bad shots,” Player said, not
knowing how few of those the kid would hit.
“And I told him the crowd was naturally going
to show a bias. But I reminded him when I
played Arnold Palmer in 1961 at the Masters,
only my wife and my dog was pulling for me.
I told him he’s got to get in there and be more
determined to win.”
Oosthuizen was relaxed as he could be, put-
ting his arm around Rasego after hitting off
the 18th tee and walking over the Swilcan
Bridge, thousands of fans packed into the
grandstands, along the road and peering out
the shop windows.
“It’s a proud moment for us, especially with
the Old Man, winning on his birthday,”
Rosega said. “Winning at St. Andrews, it’s
unbelievable. He deserves what he’s just
done.”
The 150th anniversary of golf’s oldest
championship was memorable in so many
ways.
It began with Rory McIlroy tying the major
championship record with a 63 in some of the
calmest conditions at the course. It ended with
someone other than Woods hoisting the claret
jug in front of the R&A clubhouse.
Woods tapped in on the final hole and
removed his cap to salute the gallery, just as
he did the last two Opens at St. Andrews.
Only this time, the tournament was still two
hours from finishing. Woods made two dou-
ble bogeys on his way to a 72 and tied for
23rd.
It was his seventh tournament of the year
without a victory, matching the longest
drought of his career.

World Series of Poker finalists eye Nov.showdown
By Oskar Garcia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — A weary group
of card sharks, exhausted by a no-
limit Texas Hold ’em session that
ended nearly 18 hours after its first
hand, scored nearly $812,000 each
at the World Series of Poker on
Sunday and a ticket for a November
finale worth $8.94 million to the
winner.
“My brain is barely functioning
— it’s hard for me to even form sen-
tences right now,” said Joseph
Cheong, 24, of La Mirada, Calif.,
after the eighth card session that
morphed from a chaotic free-for-all
to a 10-man game of chicken.
Cheong and eight others, includ-
ing two Canadians, three Floridians,
and an Italian, now have 111 days
before meeting again at the Rio All-
Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas
to play for additional prize money
held in an interest-bearing account.
“I tried to be the best,” said
Filippo Candio, 26, of Cagliari,
Italy, who doubled his chips with
pocket aces shortly before the ses-
sion ended and took a big bite from
Cheong earlier Saturday.
“I tried to use all my skill with the
best players in the world,” he said.
Poker fate finally gave way after
more than 12 hours at the tables
when Kansas auto dealer Brandon
Steven was eliminated with an ace-
king against 25-year-old Matthew
Jarvis’ pocket queens. Steven didn’t
improve his hand and Jarvis, a busi-
ness student from Surrey, British
Columbia, took the rest of his chips.
Steven, 36, of Wichita, won
$635,011 for 10th place.

burst a bubble worth far more than
the nearly $177,000 difference in
pay between 10th and ninth place. It
cemented the latest final table for
poker’s richest tournament — a new
group in a new scenario for poker
fans to dissect, follow and analyze
before they return Nov. 6 for a ninth
session.
They emerged from a field of
7,319 players that plunked down
$10,000 to enter, the first wave
starting July 5.
Cheong said he bought in despite
not having a large enough bankroll
to warrant it.
“There’s no other tournament
that’s worth this much, with a field
this soft and a structure this good,”
SPORTS
REUTERS
Cheong said. “It just gives good
players an edge over the rest of the
field.”
But this final table has weeded
out the one-in-a-million dreamers,
leaving nine skilled players who
battled against bad beats, roller-
coaster chip swings and each other.
“I’ve never folded so many hands
in my life,” said Michael “Grinder”
Mizrachi, a 29-year-old poker pro-
fessional from Miami who finished
the session sixth in chips.
“It felt like a satellite,” he said,
referring to a type of tournament
used to award a seat in a larger
event.
Mizrachi is the most well-known
player left, finishing a summer
where he seemed unstoppable at the
series. He won the series’ first open
event, a $50,000 buy-in mixed game
championship entered only by
poker’s biggest heavyweights and
wealthy — very wealthy — hope-
fuls.
“I feel like Phil Ivey last year,”
said Mizrachi, referring to poker’s
most famous player who made the
main event final table last year and
finished seventh.
Mizrachi was among those who
stayed patient with 10 players left,
during a run where aggression was
sparse and some players simply
refused to gamble.
Others, like 24-year-old John
Dolan of Bonita Springs, Fla., took
advantage to pick up chips without
a fight.
“Honestly, when I got to the final
table, I picked up some pretty awe-
some hands,” Dolan said.
Dolan began 10-handed play with
24.55 million chips, and less than
two hours later had the second-
biggest stack at the table with 46.3
million chips.
Chips have no actual monetary
value. Each player must lose all his
chips to be eliminated.
Cheong started session Saturday
with the chip lead among 27 play-
ers, but took a big hit early after
Candio called an all-in bet with
about a 13 percent chance to win.
Candio’s two pair, fives and sixes,
were behind Cheong’s aces and
sixes. But running cards saved
Candio’s tournament with a straight
and sent the Italian into a frenzy as
he scurried around tableside press
and kneeled and pointed upward in
celebration.
Cheong, who has two degrees
Monday• July 19, 2010 13
from the University of California,
San Diego, shook his head and
shrugged at the result, which
dropped him from the chip lead to
the middle of the hunt.
“It was a bummer,” Cheong said.
“But that’s why you build up a big
stack early — so you can take these
beats later on and still survive. So I
felt fine. I was just going to work
my way back up.”
Matt Affleck, a 23-year-old poker
professional from Mill Creek,
Wash., didn’t get a second chance
after going from fifth in chips to
busting in 15th place, winning
$500,165.
Jonathan Duhamel, who had the
second biggest stack in the tourna-
ment at the time, called an all-in bet
from Affleck with pocket jacks and
the board showing a 10, nine, seven
and queen. Affleck turned up pocket
aces, but an eight on the river gave
Duhamel a queen-high straight and
a commanding 51 million chip lead.
“Don’t have any words to explain
what just happened,” Affleck wrote
on Twitter after being eliminated.
“Eighty percent favorite on turn to
be chip leader at final table of ...
main event.”
Duhamel, 22, of Boucherville,
Quebec, finished the night with the
chip lead with nearly 66 million
chips.
When asked whether he was
aware he made a grown man cry
because of poker, Duhamel said: “I
am. It’s part of the game.”

Rosales leads A’s, roll GIANTS
to 9-6 win over Royals
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo.— The Oakland
Athletics are tied for last in the American
League in home runs, so it figures that they
don’t rely often on the long ball to win games.
They did on Sunday.
Adam Rosales, Kevin Kouzmanoff and Jack
Cust each went deep, and Vin Mazzaro
pitched into the eighth inning to help the A’s
beat the Kansas City Royals 9-6 and finish a
three-game sweep.
The A’s have won five straight and 12 of 18
to even their record at 46-46, the first time
they have been at .500 since June 15. The
Royals have lost six straight, one shy of their
longest losing streak this season.
“In spring training we talked about when
we added Kouz about hitting more home
runs,” Cust said. “We’ve got some guys who
can do that. We don’t have guys who hit 30
homers, but we’ve got four or five who can hit
some and guys who can drive in runs.”
Cust’s three-run homer with two outs in the
ninth made it 9-1, but loomed big in the bot-
tom of the inning when the Royals scored five
runs.
SPORTS
“Obviously it helped with that thing there at
the end,” Cust said.
Cust, who has hit 25 or more home runs
each of the past three seasons, homered in
back-to-back games in the final two games
before the All-Star break.
“I predicted he’d have a solid second half
and he appears to be doing that,” Oakland
manager Bob Geren said. “A guy like that is
going to get going good at some point.”
Rosales, who had the winning hit with two-
out in the ninth Saturday, homered in the
fourth after Cust walked. Rajai Davis doubled
home Landon Powell with the third run of the
inning.
Kouzmanoff, who had seven RBIs in the
series, homered in the fifth. His sacrifice fly in
the seventh scored Coco Crisp, who stole two
bases in the inning.
“We did everything right in this series,”
Kouzmanoff said. “We’re all feeling pretty
good right now and we’re all taking advantage
of our opportunities.”
The Royals are going the opposite direction
of the A’s, and manager Ned Yost had a
closed-door meeting after the loss to address
the lack of focus.

chances — and wasted a stellar start by
Santana — in the ninth inning, but he earned
the win when Davis delivered.
“I wanted to go back out and redeem
myself after the meltdown in the ninth,”
Rodriguez said. “I wanted to finish it after
the guys picked me up.”
The 10th wasn’t easy for Rodriguez,
either. He gave up a two-out double to Edgar
Renteria and intentionally walked Juan
Uribe before striking out Eli Whiteside on a
full-count pitch.
“He asked me to go back out if we scored,”
Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. “He’s our
guy and we have to let him get that shot. We
have to show confidence in him.”
David Wright led off the fourth inning
with his 15th home run of the season.
Santana had his 16-inning scoreless streak
snapped in the first when Buster Posey hit a
sacrifice fly to give the Giants a 1-0 advan-
tage. But that was all he allowed, giving up
eight hits and one walk. He struck out five.
“I had to step up,” said Santana, who has
still allowed a mere two runs over his last 31
innings for a 0.56 ERA. “It’s getting to a
point where I have all pitches working.”
Rodriguez walked Pablo Sandoval and
gave up a single to Uribe to start the ninth.
After Whiteside sacrificed the runners up a

base, Ishikawa delivered his hit.
Andres Torres followed with a double,
sending Ishikawa to third. Freddy Sanchez
hit a short chopper to Wright, who threw
high to Henry Blanco, who apparently made
the tag.
“The guy was out,” Manuel said. “I
haven’t seen the replay. What are you talking
about?”
Wright took over sole possession of fourth
place on the Mets’ career home run list with
156, breaking a tie with Dave Kingman. Bay
finished 3 for 5 after going 3 for 28 over his
previous eight games.
Sanchez and Aubrey Huff each had two
hits for the Giants, who lead the majors in
runs scored this month. Giants starter
Jonathan Sanchez allowed two runs on six
hits over seven innings. He walked one and
struck out five.
NOTES: Wright took a hard grounder off
his right knee in the sixth but stayed in the
game. He has hit safely in 11 of his last 13
games. ... Posey extended his hitting streak

Cardinals rally to
beat Dodgers, 5-4
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday remembers facing
Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton from the days when he
was still playing in the NL West, and those memories sure
came in handy Sunday.
Holliday drove in the winning run with two outs in the
ninth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied from a
four-run deficit to beat Los Angeles 5-4 and finish a four-
game sweep.
“I’ve had a chance to face him quite a bit without too
much success,” said Holliday, who is 4 for 17 against
Broxton, many of those at-bats coming with the Colorado
Rockies. “He’s one of the best closers in the game for a
reason.”
Allen Craig filled in for Albert Pujols and performed
just like the Cardinals’ All-Star first baseman, driving in
three runs in the final two innings on his 26th birthday.
Pujols got a day off from the starting lineup for only the
second time this season.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — For the second day in a row, a New
York Yankees starter left early with an injury. This time, it
will hurt.
Andy Pettitte strained his left groin Sunday and is
expected to miss at least a month, the bad news for the
Yankees on a day when they knocked around All-Star
starter David Price and got a brilliant effort from their
bullpen in a 9-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
“It was a good game — with the exception of Andy,”
Derek Jeter said. “Someone else is going to have to pick
it up.”

‘Inception’earns dreamy reception
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Leonardo DiCaprio
and Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” is any-
thing but a sleeper as the thriller opened big
with $60.4 million and a No. 1 finish at the
weekend box office, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
The Warner Bros. action tale about a team
that sneaks into people’s dreams is DiCaprio’s
biggest opening weekend, topping his previ-
ous best of $41.1 million for last winter’s
“Shutter Island.”
“Inception” falls far short of director
Christopher Nolan’s best, though. Nolan is
the man who directed the Batman blockbuster
“The Dark Knight,” which opened over the
same weekend two years ago with a record
$158.4 million.
Warner Bros. has carved out a niche with
this particular mid-July weekend. The studio
followed “The Dark Knight” with a $77.8
million opening for “Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince” over the same weekend
last year.
“We like this spot. Not to sound supersti-
tious, but stay away from this weekend. I own
it,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for
Warner Bros.
The final “Harry Potter” movie debuts on
the same weekend next summer. Warner plans
to open Nolan’s third “Batman” movie over
that weekend two years from now, though
Fellman said the studio could move it to an
earlier date that summer.
Strong reviews helped “Inception,” which
stars DiCaprio as leader of a team that nor-
mally breaks into people’s dreams to steal
their secrets but now has been hired to do the
opposite — plant an idea in a wealthy heir’s
subconscious.
Slipping to second place with $32.7 million
was the previous weekend’s No. 1 movie,
Steve Carell’s animated hit “Despicable Me.”
The Universal release raised its 10-day total
to $118.4 million.
Disney’s family adventure “The Sorcerer’s
Apprentice” was a dud, opening at No. 3 with
$17.4 million, lifting its total to $24.5 million
since premiering Wednesday.
“It’s disappointing to say the least,” said
Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney,
which had high hopes for the movie. “I’m
perplexed. I have no response, because I hon-
estly don’t know what went wrong.”
The movie reunites the team behind the hit
“National Treasure” movies — Nicolas Cage,
producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon
Turteltaub — for an action comedy about an
ancient wizard training an awkward appren-
tice (Jay Baruchel) to take down an evil sor-

ceress in modern Manhattan.
Bruckheimer has been a blockbuster pro-
ducer for Disney with such hits as “The
Rock,” “Armageddon” and the “Pirates of the
Caribbean” franchise.
But “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was the
summer’s second Disney-Bruckheimer pro-
duction to come up short at the domestic box
office, following “Prince of Persia: The Sands
of Time,” which was unable to crack the $100
million mark.
“Jerry’s working on ’Pirates 4’ as we
speak,” Viane said of the Johnny Depp sequel
due out next summer. “I’ll go to bat with Jerry
any day, because his track record is pretty
darn good.”
With “Inception” and “Despicable Me,” the
weekend marked a rare instance when two
original stories — not sequels, spinoffs or
adaptations of comic books, best-sellers or
other properties — led the box office.
Hollywood relies on familiar titles such as
“Iron Man 2,” “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”
and “Toy Story 3” for most of its big summer
releases, though the occasional fresh idea
manages to score with audiences.
“We let all of the sequels and popcorn films
come out and get the summer rolling, then we
come in here with this original concept,”
Fellman said of “Inception.” “We’re in a good
place to run now for the rest of the summer.”

ple rule and cat people drool. Sorry, it’s
just the way it is. Of course, there are
many owners who buck this trend and
microchip their feline friend or provide a
collar and ID tag. I’m simply going on a
dozen years of experience at PHS/SPCA
and a few more decades of shelter statis-
tics which say that only about 3 percent
of all the stray cats received each year are
reunited with their owners, and that lack
of identification is the overwhelmingly
primary reason. When owners with miss-
ing cats visit our shelter, we are sensitive
to their awful predicament but try to edu-
cate nonetheless. Most say that they don’t
provide a collar and tag because their cat
is an indoor cat and never gets out —
except this one time. If we had a dollar
for every time we heard that, we could
buy cat collars and ID tags for every cat
in our county. Hey, that’s not a bad idea
... more on that thought later. Other cat
owners fear that their indoor/outdoor
cat’s collar could become entangled on a
tree branch or fence. Our shelter’s offi-
cers respond to all kinds of animal res-
cues but have never had that particular
call. We can say with great confidence
that this concern is overblown. Still, pet
neckwear manufacturers make elastic
collars or breakaway collars to address
this very concern and ensure cats’ safety.
It’s high time to change the dress code
for cats in our county. We’re going to be
pushing microchips and collars with ID
tags and will do so in a way that makes it
difficult to say no. Stay tuned for details
and keep the 3 percent figure in mind.

Athena Kim paints cantaloupes with Hasani,who was at the time unnamed,at the San Francisco Zoo in March 2009.Hasani
was named after entries from an international contest were lowered to five names. Cantaloupes were painted five colors,
representing the potential names.Hasani’s father chose the green cantaloupe,giving the young gorilla a name.
KIM

Kim enjoyed the work, particularly the
access to animals. Once the one-year
internship ended, she applied for a part-
time position working in a variety of
sections at the zoo before landing a full-
time position in the children’s zoo.
Shortly after, Kim began working with
the primates who were more responsive
when she worked with them than some
of the animals within the children’s zoo.
A baby gorilla was born Dec. 8, 2008.
His mother, Monifa, rejected the little
one leaving staff to provide 24-hour
care.
“We stayed inside the gorilla building.
We didn’t take him home. We wanted
him to know he was a gorilla,” she said.
The young, needy gorilla took to the
various animal keepers and hospital
workers who oversaw his care.
Kim recalled the pace at which Hasani
began to learn various traits.
“I remember when he would start to

Currently, the state Legislature is con-
sidering removing the bond from the
2010 ballot and putting it on the 2012
ballot, an idea supported by
Schwarzenegger in consideration of the
state’s $19 billion current deficit.
The Legislature may delay the bond
until November 2012, leave it on the bal-
lot this year, renegotiate the scope of the
bond and shift the lineup of projects, cut
the dollar amount or ditch the entire
package and start over from scratch.
Some environmental groups, including
the Sierra Club, see the bond as a collec-
tion of pork projects and favor scrapping
the bond.
“The Sierra Club officially opposes
the bond,” said Jim Metropulos, Sierra
Club California’s senior advocate. “We
fought against the bad elements of the
bond.”

beat his chest; it’s so natural for the other
gorillas. It was interesting to see how the
other gorillas, even the birth mother,
reacted [to him],” she said.
Naming the youngster gained interna-
tional attention. Five thousand submis-
sions were collected over three weeks.
The names were lowered to five.
Cantaloupes were painted — one yel-
low, one green, one red, one blue and
one purple — to represent the various
names. The color-coded cantaloupes,
each representing one of the final names,
were placed on the favorite rock of
Oscar Jonesy, the baby’s father, was
given the chance to pick a cantaloupe.
He liked green.
Hasani means handsome in Swahili.
Slowly, the little gorilla was intro-
duced to the older gorillas and is now
part of the troop.
“When I work with the gorillas now, I
would give anything to hang out with
him for the day. But it’s best for him to
be a gorilla,” said Kim.
The experience did prove to have
some real-life lessons for Kim, who
along with her husband, have a 9-month-
old baby boy at home.
interior changes to convert it into a a
store selling a variety of goods, includ-
ing food products.
However, the 13.1 acre property is
zoned for a planned community and
requires a conditional use permit for
retail.
The specific building was constructed
for Hollywood Video which occupied it
until recently. In February, the chain’s
owner, Movie Gallery, Inc. filed for
bankruptcy and closed approximately
one third of its 2,600 stores.
The Sierra Club contends the bond
and a series of water-related bills signed
into law earlier this year, will provide $3
billion to build environmentally harmful
dams and will create debt service of
$800 million a year for 30 years.
There is not a single earmark in the
bond package for projects or conserva-
tion efforts in San Mateo County, a fact
that caused state Assemblyman Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, to vote against put-
ting the bond on the November ballot.
Ruskin did vote to put the bond on the
November ballot so California voters
could decide whether to incur more debt
to keep water safely flowing in
California.
Ruskin’s Assembly Bill 2488 received
unanimous support in the Legislature.
“The possibility of the bond passing
gave greater impetus to this legislation,”
Ruskin said. “This bill is important
because it clarifies the purposes for
which BAWSCA was designed.”
The Legislature created BAWSCA in
2002 under a bill authored by the late
assemblyman Lou Papan.
“[It taught me] a lot of patience,” she
said with a laugh. “And they develop at
their own pace. It’s different with
Hasani; I knew he’d be a lot easier than
my own baby. I could pass him off after
eight hours.”
Starting today, the San Francisco Zoo
is honoring zookeepers during the
American Association of Zoo Keepers
National Zookeeper Week. Show your
appreciation with a thank you note. One
note per person, hand-made or pur-
chased, will result in a ticket discount of
$2 for adults and $1 for children. The
San Francisco Zoo is located on Slate
Boulevard at the Great Highway in San
Francisco. The zoo is open daily from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 5. Tickets
are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors 65
and older, $9 for children 4 to 14 years
old and free for children under 3. For

The site’s owner will also ask the
Planning Commission Monday night to
amend the permit to allow different uses
in the future.
Doing so gives the property owner far
greater flexibility because he won’t need
to return to the Planning Commission
every time the use changes, according to
Associate Planner Jill Lewis.
The San Carlos Planning Commission
meets 7 p.m. Monday, July 19 at City
Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.
Since the 2002 legislation that created
BAWSCA, voters and legislators have
enacted additional laws that mandate
regional planning and conservation,
according to Ruskin’s office. The
Legislature set water conservation tar-
gets of 10 percent by 2015 and 20 per-
cent by 2020. AB 2488 allows
BAWSCA to help its member agencies,
at their request, meet urban water use
targets and receive financial assistance
for that purpose.
AB 2488 also updates code to reflect
changes in member agencies and their
water allotments and simplifies proce-
dures related to administering the
BAWSCA board member oath of office
and voting.
The bill creates a nonexclusive list of
the state bonds that BAWSCA may
receive, including any future financing
for water management. It also removes
the Skyline County Water District from
BAWSCA’s board. The Skyline County
Water District sold its water system to
the California Water Service Company
and then dissolved in 2009.

Monday, July 19, 2010
That special trip or vacation you’ve always dreamed of taking
has some chance of becoming a reality in the year ahead. If
things don’t fall in place for you, replace it with another big
desire you know can be fulfilled.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - It’s likely to be the little unno-
ticeable things that determine whether or not you can suc-
cessfully handle a serious situation or problem. Know what
you’re getting into before jumping in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Volunteering to take on something
for which you’re ill equipped to handle is just plain dumb,
especially if there’s a chance it might be more intricate than it
initially looks. Let an expert handle things.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Think before you open your
mouth today or you’re likely to let something out of the bag
that is meant to be confidential. You wouldn’t want to be
blamed for spreading a private matter around.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - In order to fulfill your hopes and
expectations today, you will have to be extremely methodical
and careful about how you go about doing so. It’ll take practi-
cality to fulfill your dream.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It might take multiple stages
to fulfill something that is important to you, so don’t try to
rush things along. Making numerous small mistakes could
add up to one big failure.
your memory to recall every little detail. Put things to paper
before trying to pass things on.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You aren’t likely to func-
tion too well playing second fiddle today, so don’t get involved
in any situation where the control is totally in the hands of
another. Make sure you have a say in things.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Nobody is likely to find fault
with the way you manage a major assignment, as long as you
don’t have to handle the details. It’ll be the small, insignificant
factors that’ll trip you up.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Guard against talking out of
turn and revealing more than you should to the wrong people.
The way to qualify your listeners is if there is a possibility one
among them could misuse the information.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t be such a stickler for all
the rules and details when engaged in a friendly game today
with your pals or family. Relax and enjoy the sport just for the
fun of playing it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - That person you were depend-
ing upon to assist you with a project that requires help might
not be available today. You’re going to have to either fly solo
or put it off until another day.
Previous
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Before jumping in and volun-
teering to untangle a mess another has made, assess the Sudoku
situation more thoroughly. The complexities might be far more

intricate than is obvious at first glance. answers

Spain to debate ban on public burqas

By Harold Heckle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID — Spanish lawmakers
will debate barring burqas in public,
joining other European countries
considering similar moves on the
grounds that the body-covering gar-
ments are degrading to women, the
leading opposition party said
Sunday.
Top officials of the ruling
Socialist Party have indicated they
will support the proposal by the
opposition Popular Party, making a
ban likely unless the country’s high-
est court rules it unconstitutional.
A debate in Spain’s lower house
has been set by the Popular Party
for Tuesday or Wednesday, the party
said.
No vote will be scheduled until
after the debate, and Spain’s
Parliament usually goes on vacation
for a month starting in late July or
early August.
Justice Minister Francisco
Caamano said on June 15 that gar-
ments like the burqa are “hardly
compatible with human dignity.”
Head-covering veils would not be
included in a ban as they form a part
of traditional Spanish dress, with
women often covering their heads
with a garment called a mantilla,
especially during church services in
the south of the country.
Other European nations that have
debated regulating the use of body-
covering burqas or face-covering
niqabs include Belgium, the
Netherlands and France.
A notable exception has been
Britain, where Immigration
Minister Damian Green described
calls to outlaw such garb as “un-
British.”
“Telling people what they can and
can’t wear, if they’re just walking
down the street, is a rather un-
British thing to do,” he told the
Sunday Telegraph.
“We’re a tolerant and mutually
respectful society.”
France’s lower house of parlia-
ment overwhelmingly approved a
ban on wearing burqa-style Islamic
veils on July 13 in an effort to define
and protect French values, a move
that angered many in the country’s
large Muslim community.
The French ban on burqas and
niqabs goes before Senate in
September amid predictions it will
The Spanish parliament is considering banning burqas in public.
pass, but its biggest hurdle could
come when France’s constitutional
watchdog scrutinizes it later.
Britain and France have sizable
Muslim minorities that they have
sometimes struggled to integrate.
Differences over dress — in partic-
ular the stark-looking niqab, usually
an all-back garment which leaves
only the eyes visible — often serve
as touchstones for wider discussions
about Islam, identity, and immigra-
tion.
A British Conservative lawmaker
has just tabled a French-style bill
that would outlaw the niqab, but the
bill hasn’t received any support for
the ruling Conservative-Liberal
Democrat coalition and isn’t likely
to get very far.
Belgium’s lower house approved
a ban on face-covering veils, but it
must still be ratified by its upper
chamber.
The Netherlands debated banning
burqas four years ago and may yet
outlaw attire that is considered as
demeaning to women.
Switzerland last year banned
building new minarets from which
Muslims are called to prayer, follow-
ing a national referendum last year.
Spain has about 1 million
Muslims in the nation of 47 million,
with most living in the northeastern
region of Catalonia and the southern
region Andalucia. However, burqas
are rarely seen.
Spain’s second-largest city of
Barcelona in June banned the use of
burqas and niqabs in municipal
buildings, joining a handful of small
towns and cities nearby that have
taken similar steps.
Mansur Escudero, spokesman for
Spain’s Islamic Commission, said
in June that there is no religious
mandate for Muslim women to wear
burqas and the garment was
“extravagant,” but criticized govern-
ment efforts to ban the outfit
because he said women should be
able to exercise free choice in how
they dress.

Balkan Pink Panthers stuff of local legend

By Dusan Stojanovic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CETINJE, Montenegro — Their
nickname comes straight from Peter
Sellers and Inspector Clouseau, but
there’s nothing bumbling about them.
In heists from London to Paris to
Tokyo, the crime ring that Interpol
calls the Pink Panthers is thought to
have netted a quarter billion dollars
in jewelry and luxury watches.
Many of its members are said to be
from this tiny Balkan country of
600,000 people.
The legend started seven years
ago in a jar of face cream.
Milan Jovetic was among a group
that robbed the Graff store on
London’s exclusive New Bond Street
of $30 million worth of diamonds.
He was caught a couple days later
and Scotland Yard found a $1 million
diamond ring that was purportedly
his share of the job.
It was stashed in his girlfriend’s
face-cream jar, the same hiding
place used by the thief in “The Pink
Panther,” the 1963 movie that intro-
duced the world to the famously
inept Inspector Clouseau.
British newspapers dubbed the
robbers the Pink Panthers, and as
more robberies followed, enough of
a pattern emerged for Interpol to set
up “Project Pink Panthers.”
“We are working on 190 cases in
27 countries on four continents, a big
investigation,” said Julia Viedma,
director of Interpol’s operations.
In court, Jovetic claimed he had
only arranged logistics and was paid
with the diamond ring. He was sen-
tenced to 5 1/2 years in prison of
which he served four. Now he’s back
in this small Montenegrin valley
town, a handsome 30-year-old with
gelled black hair who is something of
a celebrity.
Pushing his baby daughter in
a stroller down a dusty street, he
is asked if he is indeed Jovetic
the Panther he grins and replies:
“Do I look that way to you?”
But when asked about the
crime ring, he snarls “You don’t
have the kind of money for me
to talk,” and walks away.
Cetinje, a poor town of 15,000, has
produced many of those arrested on
suspicion of Pink Panther associa-
tions, Interpol says. Impoverished by
the wars that broke up Yugoslavia,
Cetinje has few exports besides
young, jobless men, many of whom
hang out at a cafe owned by Jovetic.
A notion seems to have taken root
here that the Pink Panthers are
Robin Hood types, stealing from the
rich and giving to the poor. But
other than some BMWs and
Mercedes-Benzes parked outside
certain cafes frequented by the
underworld, there is no indication
of any wealth trickling down.
A man who identifies himself
only as Zoran sips espresso at a
sidewalk cafe and asks for under-
standing for the Panthers: “They
killed no one. They just wanted to
escape this godforsaken place.”
Indeed, though the robbers often
are armed, they don’t shoot at any-
one.
Interpol officials are careful not to
link every spectacular jewel robbery
in the world to the Pink Panthers. It
only enhances their allure, says one
official, requesting anonymity
because he isn’t authorized to speak
to the media.
But the officials believe Pink
Panthers have been behind some 150
robberies since the late 1990s. They
say about 25 arrests have been made
in recent years and 400 people are
being investigated as members or
accomplices, but that the core group
numbers about 40.
Those arrested observe a code of
silence that confounds attempts to
break up the gang.
“There is no doubt that these men
and a few women ... mostly come
from Montenegro and Serbia,” said
Dejan Anastasijevic, a reporter from
Serbia who investigates Balkan crime
syndicates and who had to flee to
Belgium after escaping a grenade
explosion.
