The San Mateo County Event
Centers long-desired plan to
expand and add a hotel both key
draws for meeting planners and
events with deep pockets that ripple
into the adjoining economies is
taking small steps towards becom-
ing a reality.
Nothing is set in stone; actually,
there arent even blueprints, funding
or ofcial approvals. But the cen-
ters board of directors has a con-
sulting group currently eyeballing
the area, looking at options and pen-
ciling out potential nancing in the
event the possibility actually turns
into, well, an actual event.
Conventions, Sports & Leisure,
the selected consulting firm, is
spending the next six to eight
months researching what type of
new facility makes sense for the
event center, said General Manager
Chris Carpenter.
Carpenter said he would like to
maintain the existing Event Center
on Saratoga Drive in San Mateo
with the exception of tearing down
part of the buildings to house a new
conference center and hotel at one
end.
So far, Carpenter said,
Conventions, Sports & Leisure feels
the Event Centers location is per-
fect because of its proximity to the
San Francisco and San Jose airports
and its plentiful parking.
They felt we should have a good
amount of support in building and
booking the new facilities,
Carpenter said.
The Event Center hosts the annu-
al county fair as well as a diverse
range of events including floral
shows, sports tournaments, trade
shows, concerts and the very popu-
lar Maker Faire. The 48-acre site
includes seven halls, a satellite
wagering club and more than
195,000 square feet of meeting
space.
Last year was one of the best
nancially in the last 10 to 15 years,
Carpenter said.

Third
time a
charm?
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Will the third time be a charm?
As the four-member San Carlos City
Council tries again tonight to reach a majority
decision on lling the mid-term vacancy of
the former mayors seat, the answer may very
well be no.
The council split even down the middle
each of the past two prior conversations and
heading into tonights meeting they dont
appear to have changed their individual minds
much, if at all, on whether to hold a special
election this November or wait until the regu-
larly scheduled November 2013 election.
Councilman Ron Collins, however, is hope-
ful.
Were going to resolve it one way or anoth-
er, he said. I think everyone would agree we
cannot continue as a four-person council.
The key debate between the two camps is
the roughly $50,000 price tag of a special
election, if voters should weigh in sooner
rather than later and, if the council opts to
appoint an interim member, just how long that
person should sit and if they should be asked
not to run for the upcoming regular term.
If the City Council cannot reach a majority
decision tonight, the choice will be made for
them. The default position is a November
2013 election, according to City Attorney
Council to again
discuss lling open
seat in San Carlos

Burlingame
looks to add
restaurants
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Burlingames planning commis-
sioners better not go to Tuesdays
meeting hungry because much of the
conversation will be about restau-
rants.
Noting a demand for restaurant
space, a property owner requested
the Burlingame City Council allow
additional food establishments in
the 1400 block of Burlingame
Avenue, which was considered earli-
er this month. On Tuesday, the com-
mission will consider a proposal to
allow for three additional restaurants
two on the 1400 block of
Burlingame Avenue and one within
the Burlingame Avenue Commercial
District, according to a staff report.
In an April 5 letter to Mayor Jerry
Deal, Greg Terry of Alain Pinel
requested the city consider allowing
additional restaurants in the
Burlingame Avenue area, specical-
ly on the 1400 block.
In 2010, the council changed the
municipal code to allow ve addi-
tional food establishments which
could be anything from a bar to a
full-service restaurant in portions
of the Burlingame Avenue commer-
cial area. However, none of those
permits were used for the specic
block. Terry noted having two prop-
erties within that block which have
resulted in calls from people inter-
ested in opening restaurants.
Interestingly, at the same Tuesday
meeting, the commission will con-
sider the fifth application for a
restaurant under this 2010 decision.

Veterans donning both uniforms and civilian
clothes saluted as ags rustled in the wind during
the presentation of colors at Golden Gate Cemetery
yesterday to start a service in remembrance of
those who gave their lives defending American
ideals.
Elected ofcials, volunteers and children joined
the veterans for a presentation for Memorial Day
yesterday in San Bruno. Seats were lled, families
huddled together on the grassy hillside and others
stood as those who have fallen defending our
nation were remembered through words, music and
prayer. Red, white and blue took over the Golden
Gate Cemetery which had more than 112,700 ags
waving during the ceremony.
Col. Joseph McGee, brigade commander, 1st
Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division,
said Memorial Day is an opportunity to remember
that not everyones bravery is not challenged in the
same ways as those who have served. However,
everyone will similarly be challenged in life to
make the right decision even when it isnt the pop-
ular one. Doing so, he said, would be an act to truly
remember the sacrice by those who are buried in
San Bruno.
Unique to this years gathering was a large num-
ber of people who are currently enlisted. On
Sunday, San Mateo hosted a parade to honor the
40th anniversary of a welcome home parade in the
city for returning Vietnam veterans back in 1972
for the Adopted Sons of the 101st Airborne, known
as the Screaming Eagles. As a result, many cur-
rent and past members of the unit along with those
currently serving on the USS Nimitz CVN-68, who
had helped set up the service and guide trafc.
Rabbi Valerie Joseph, who gave the invocation,
said it is important to carry forward the love, honor

It was while lost on a large plane headed to
the United States that Ka Ho Nicholas Cheung
discovered an interest in airplanes.
Cheung was just a boy when his family
decided to leave Hong Kong, where he was
born, and move to California where there
were more educational opportunities. The
double-decker plane they took on the way
over was a playground for Cheung who quick-
ly wandered away from his parents in his
exploration. Found by flight attendants,
Cheung wasnt reprimanded but instead in
a pre-Sept. 11 world was taken to the
cockpit to meet the pilot and look around.
Cheung was intrigued by what he saw and
decided to one day learn more.
Today, Cheung has his pilots license for a
smaller plane. It was inspired by the experi-
ence as a little boy, but also something he was-
nt sure he would ever achieve.
Thats why, he said, you should go for
something even if you dont believe its possi-
ble.
Cheung, 18, will graduate from South San
Francisco High School with plans to further
his pilot skills this summer before studying
biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins
University in the fall.
Principal Anthony J. Limoges explained
Cheung has a wonderful list of accomplish-
ments from a high GPA, long history of
swimming and research at the University of
California at Davis but that doesnt tell the
whole story.
However, those accomplishments fail to
truly share the type person Nick is, Limoges
said. Nick is a humble, polite, supportive
individual that truly epitomizes what we all
hope in the future leaders of this world. He
will do great things no matter what direction
life takes him.
Cheung moved to California in rst grade.
He dreamed of being an Olympic swimmer
one day and pursued the sport as a result. He
was heartbroken when, at 12, he competed in
a meet. It was then that Cheung realized that
he was in fact fast, but probably not Olympic
speed. Despite that, Cheung stuck with swim-
ming as part of the Daly City Dolphins
through sophomore year and all four years
while at South San Francisco High School. On
varsity all four years, Cheung ended as cap-
tain and received the honor of having his
name stitched onto the banners displayed in
the schools gym.
I like to win, Cheung said of his drive to
continue with swimming. Its a good feeling
to touch before others. It makes me want to
practice more.

Obituary
By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO Republican pres-
idential candidate Mitt Romney
promised Monday to maintain an
American military with no compa-
rable power anywhere in the world.
The likely Republican presiden-
tial nominee faced a San Diego
crowd estimated at 5,000 in what
was billed as a Memorial Day serv-
ice paying tribute to the nations war
dead, not a campaign rally. The
appearance came the day before
Romney was expected to win
enough delegates to claim his
partys nomination, a formality that
cements his status as President
Barack Obamas general election
opponent.
Without naming his general elec-
tion rival on Monday, Romney drew
clear contrasts with Obama on the
issue of defense.
The Democratic president has
proposed reducing the size of the
military following the end of the
U.S. combat role in Iraq and plans
to remove troops from Afghanistan
at the end of 2014.
We have two courses we can fol-
low: One is to follow in the pathway
of Europe, to shrink our military
smaller and smaller to pay for our
social needs, Romney said outside
the citys Veterans Memorial Center
and Museum. The other is to com-
mit to preserve America as the
strongest military in the world, sec-
ond to none, with no comparable
power anywhere in the world.
The White House and congres-
sional Republicans have agreed to
cut $487 billion in military spend-
ing over the next decade. Even with
Obamas proposed cuts in the mili-
tary budget, the U.S. would remain
by far the worlds dominant military
power. The Pentagons budget this
year exceeds $600 billion. Closest
rival China said this year its defense
budget will top $100 billion for the
rst time, although the U.S. claims
China spends twice as much.
Across the country in
Washington, Obama marked the
solemn holiday with remembrances
at Arlington National Cemetery, and
later at the Vietnam War Memorial
marking the 50th anniversary of
U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
He noted that for the rst time in
nine years Americans are not ght-
ing and dying in Iraq. After a decade
under the dark cloud of war, we can
see the light of the new day on the
horizon.
The candidates comments under-
scored the political and practical
effects the presidential contest
could have on Americas role in the
world.
A new Gallup survey found that
veterans prefer Romney over
Obama by a double-digit margin, 58
percent to 34 percent. That voting
bloc, consisting mostly of older
men, makes up 13 percent of the
adult population.
Obama won the presidency hand-
ily four years ago while losing vet-
erans by 10 points to Sen. John
McCain, a former Navy pilot.
Neither Obama nor Romney served
in the military. Romney, 65, did not
serve in Vietnam. His campaign
says he received deferments for his
Mormon mission to France and aca-
demic studies. He later entered the
draft, but his number was not called,
a spokesman said. Obama, 50, was a
child during the Vietnam conict.
In San Diego, Romney was joined
by McCain, a Vietnam veteran who
spent more than ve years as a pris-
oner of war. McCain said that
Romney, I believe, is fully quali-
ed to be commander in chief.
Romney noted that he visited
Afghanistan and Iraq during his
term as Massachusetts governor.
But he has limited foreign policy
experience.
Still, Romney has been critical of
Obamas plans to reduce the mili-
tary, in addition to the administra-
tions policy toward Syrias han-
dling of the uprising against
President Bashar Assads govern-
ment.
In a written statement Sunday,
Romney said Obama can no longer
ignore calls from congressional
leaders in both parties to take more
assertive steps in Syria. Romney
said the current approach has only
given Syrian leaders more time to
crackdown on protesters.
World leaders blame the Syrian
government for the weekend killing
of more than 100 people, including
49 children and 34 women, follow-
ing peaceful protests.
I wish I could tell you that the
world is a safe place today. It is
not, Romney said Monday, ticking
off a list of threats including Iran,
Pakistan, China, Russia, Venezuela
and Mexican drug cartels. He did
not mention Syria.
He spoke a day before Texas vot-
ers were likely to give him enough
delegates to formally clinch the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
Texas Tuesday primary offers
152 delegates, and Romney is just
68 delegates shy of the 1,144 need-
ed to become the nominee.

His time at school included a lot
of science along with leadership.
Cheung joined leadership his jun-
ior year as treasurer. Simply put, he
enjoyed being the one responsible
for the funds.
Cheung and a friend started the
science club junior year. His interest
in science led Cheung to apply for a
summer program at Davis. While
there, he helped perform research
included in a published paper.
Having his name attached to the
paper was quite helpful when
Cheung applied for colleges this
year.
Speaking of colleges, Cheung was
choosing between Johns Hopkins
and Duke universities. Ultimately,
he decided on Johns Hopkins for its
biomedical engineering program.
Cheung ultimately plans to attend
medical school.

Boyajian to help fund programs in
the district.
Each year, a group of teachers
who taught with Dorothy Grace
get together and review how the
funds should be spent. This year,
the money was used for six $50
scholarships for fth grade poetry,
literacy and writing and one $100
scholarship for highest academic
achievement in literacy at
Sunnybrae Elementary. The
school also uses the money to fund
their Soul Shoppe program
(Lifeskills assemblies,
Peacemaker support, and parent
education). It is also a source for
library books, student writing
books, postage for letter writing,
class eld trips, and teacher sup-
ply money to support instruction.
In addition, a yearly donation is
made to the North Central
Neighborhood Association in
support of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Speech and Essay Contest, and
$500 is given to the IMC to buy
something that would benet all
teachers in the San Mateo-Foster
City School District. These are all
programs or resources that
Boyajian would support while she
was a teacher.
Boyajian taught in the San
Mateo-Foster City School District
for 52 years at Turnbull, North
Shoreview, and Sunnybrae ele-
mentary schools. She was known
as the poet laureate of the school
district, writing and presenting
poems on many occasions.

MIAMI A California judges
decision to open a countys child
welfare hearings earlier this year has
energized a debate among advocates
in other states about whether greater
transparency helps or harms the
young victims appearing in family
court.
When a child is abused or neglect-
ed, theres a family court hearing to
discuss the victims future. In nearly
20 states, including Texas, New
York, Florida and Illinois, those
hearings are usually open to the pub-
lic and there is a push among child
welfare advocates to open them in
other states. Efforts to open the
courts in California, Kentucky and
the District of Columbia have gar-
nered attention recently.
Proponents say transparency leads
to better decisions by putting a spot-
light on judges, exposes the blunders
of child welfare workers and gives
the public a better understanding of
how the system works.
Condentiality has done more to
protect the system than to protect the
children in the system, said Michael
Nash, chief presiding judge of Los
Angeles Countys childrens court.
He ruled in January that dependency
hearings in his county will be open
to the public unless there is proof the
child will be harmed.
The longtime advocate of open
courts was frustrated that fellow
judges frequently sided with those
who wanted to keep the hearings
closed. Nash said decisions were
made on an ad hoc basis. His order
lays out a uniform process to follow
when someone objects to opening
the hearing.
But critics say children will be fur-
ther traumatized by testifying about
abuse in a courtroom full of
strangers. The Childrens Law
Center of California, which repre-
sents most children in the Los
Angeles County system, asked the
state appeals court to overturn
Nashs decision, but that move was
rejected.
Executive Director Leslie Starr
Heimov says its unfair to compare
states that have open hearings with
California because children dont
have a legal right to attend hearings
in many states. More than 200 chil-
dren attend hearings every day at the
Los Angeles courthouse.
Its difcult and its painful and
theyre in the system through no
fault of their own and to create a sys-
tem where theres forced to endure
more pain, thats harmful, Heimov
said.
Family courts have opened gradu-
ally since the early 1980s, beginning
with Oregon. An advocate for child
welfare reform says that among the
states that have followed suit, New
York and Missouris moves in the
late 1990s were particularly signi-
cant. The change is usually spurred
by a horric child abuse case or a
push from local media to gain
access. The beating death of 6-year-
old Elisa Izquierdo by her mother
prompted the opening of New York
family courts in 1997 and the pas-
sage of a state open-records law
referred to as Elisas Law.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama paid tribute Monday to
the men and women who have died
defending America, singling out
Vietnam war veterans as an under-
appreciated and sometimes maligned
lot and saying that should never hap-
pen again.
Marking Memorial Day at
Arlington National Cemetery and the
Vietnam War Memorial, Obama
noted that for the rst time in nine
years, Americans are not ghting
and dying in Iraq, and the nation was
winding down its role in the conict
in Afghanistan.
After a decade under the dark
cloud of war, we can see the light of
the new day on the horizon,
Obama said to an audience gath-
ered at the Arlington amphitheater
lined with American ags under a
warm, brilliant sun.
In this election year, Obama said
the nation must remain committed to
providing for the families of fallen
soldiers and help returning service
members seeking a job, higher educa-
tion or health care benets.
As long as Im president, we will
make sure you and your loved ones
will receive the benets youve
earned and the respect you deserve,
Obama said. America will be there
for you.
Obama said sending troops into
harms way was the most wrenching
decision that I have to make. And I can
promise you I will never do so unless
its absolutely necessary.
Later, at the Vietnam War
Memorial, Obama honored the troops
who served and died in that war, com-
memorating the 50th anniversary the
U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The
White House said the gathering would
begin a 13-year program honoring
those who served during the Vietnam
War.
He said it was a national shame, a
disgrace that veterans came home
from Vietnam only to be denigrated
in many quarters for their service. He
said that should never happen again
and said that history will honor your
service, adding that Vietnam veter-
ans served with just as much patriot-
ism and honor as any before you.
When you came home, I know
many of you put your medals away,
the president said. You didnt talk to
much about your service. As a conse-
quence, the nation didnt always
appreciate the chapter that came next.
He said that although many
Americans turned their back on you,
you never turned your back on
America.
As he seeks re-election, Obama has
reminded audiences about the end of
the war in Iraq and the move to bring all
troops home from Afghanistan by 2014.

MIAMI A witness says a
naked man chewing on the face of
another naked man on a downtown
highway ramp kept eating and
growled at a police ofcer who tried
to make him stop.
Larry Vega told WSVN-TV in
Miami (http://bit.ly/L6kwWt) that
he was riding his bicycle Saturday
afternoon off the MacArthur
Causeway into downtown Miami
when he saw the savage attack on
the bridges off-ramp. The cause-
way connects downtown Miami
with Miami Beach.
The guy was, like, tearing him to
pieces with his mouth, so I told him,
Get off! Vega said. The guy just
kept eating the other guy away, like,
ripping his skin.
Vega flagged down a Miami
police ofcer, who he said repeated-
ly ordered the attacker to get off the
victim. The attacker just picked his
head up and growled at the ofcer,
Vega said. As the attack continued,
Vega said the ofcer shot the attack-
er, who continued chewing the vic-
tims face. The ofcer red again,
killing the attacker.
Miami police have released few
details about the attack, other than
conrming that there had been a
fatal ofcer-involved shooting.
Detective William Moreno said
Sunday that neither mans identity
had been determined. Messages left
Monday for a police spokesman
were not immediately returned.
The victim was taken to Jackson
Memorial Hospital. A spokes-
woman said Monday that the hospi-
tal would not be releasing any infor-
mation about him.
A surveillance video camera from
The Miami Herald building nearby
captured images of the mens naked
legs lying side by side after the
shooting.

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

BEIRUT A weekend massacre
of more than 100 people emerged as
a potential turning point in the Syrian
crisis Monday, galvanizing even
staunch ally Russia to take an unusu-
ally hard line against President
Bashar Assads government.
Analysts said Russia may be warn-
ing Assad that he needs to change
course or lose Moscows support,
which has been a key layer of pro-
tection for the Syrian government
during the uprising that began in
March 2011.
Russia has grown increasingly
critical of Damascus in recent
months, but Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrovs latest comments were
unusually strong. Although he said
opposition forces have terrorists
among them, he put the blame for 15
months of carnage primarily on
Assads government.
The government bears the main
responsibility for what is going on,
Lavrov said in Moscow following a
meeting with British Foreign
Secretary William Hague. Any gov-
ernment in any country bears respon-
sibility for the security of its citi-
zens.
Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East
expert with the Carnegie Moscow
Center, said Lavrovs comments sug-
gest Russia may be backing away
from its long-standing support for
Damascus.
Bashar Assad is driving himself
and Russia into a corner,
Malashenko said. Bashar has de-
nitely gotten the sense that he may
lose Russias sympathy, and he may
step back a bit.
It is not clear whether Assads
forces were exclusively to blame for
the slaughter of 108 people Friday in
Houla, a collection of poor farming
villages in Homs province. The
United Nations said 49 children and
34 women were among the dead;
some had bullet holes through their
heads.
The U.N. Security Council blamed
Syrian forces for artillery and tank
shelling of residential areas, but it
did not clearly state who was respon-
sible for the close-range shooting
deaths and severe physical abuse
of civilians.
Activists from the area said the
army pounded the villages with
artillery and clashed with local
rebels. They said pro-government
gunmen later stormed the area, doing
the bulk of the killing by gunning
down men in the streets and stabbing
women and children in their homes.
The Syrian government rejected
that account entirely, saying soldiers
were attacked in their bases and
fought back in self-defense without
leaving their bases.
Russia blamed both the govern-
ment and the rebels for the Houla
massacre.
Both sides have obviously had a
hand in the deaths of innocent peo-
ple, including several dozen women
and children, Lavrov said.

NAMPHO, North Korea North
Korea is reporting a serious drought
that could worsen already critical
food shortages, but help is unlikely
to come from the United States and
South Korea following Pyongyangs
widely criticized rocket launch.
North Korea has had little rain
since April 27, with the countrys
western coastal areas particularly
hard hit, according to a government
weather agency in Pyongyang. The
dry spell threatened to damage
crops, ofcials said, as the country
enters a critical planting season and
as food supplies from the last harvest
dwindle.
In at least one area of South
Phyongan Province where journal-
ists from The Associated Press were
allowed to visit, the sun-baked elds
appeared parched and cracked, and
farmers complained of extreme
drought conditions. Deeply tanned
men, and women in sun bonnets,
worked over cabbages and corn
seedlings. Farmers cupped individ-
ual seedlings as they poured water
from blue buckets onto the parched
red soil.
Ive been working at the farm for
more than 30 years, but I have never
experienced this kind of severe
drought, An Song Min, a farmer at
the Tokhae Cooperative Farm in the
Nampho area, told the AP.
It was not clear whether the condi-
tions around Nampho were repre-
sentative of a wider region. The U.N.
Food and Agriculture Organization
said it had not yet visited the affect-
ed regions to conrm the extent and
severity of the reported drought.

VATICAN CITY The biggest
scandal to rock the Vatican in decades
widened Monday with the popes but-
ler, arrested for allegedly having con-
dential documents in his home,
agreeing to cooperate with investiga-
tors raising the specter that higher-
ranking ecclesial heads may soon roll.
Few believe butler Paolo Gabriele
worked alone to leak dozens of docu-
ments shedding light on power strug-
gles, corruption and intrigue inside the
highest levels of the Catholic Church.
The leaks have tormented the Vatican
for months and painted a picture of a
church hierarchy in utter disarray.
Gabriele, the popes personal butler
since 2006, was arrested Wednesday
evening after Holy See documents
were found inside his Vatican City
apartment, adding aHollywood twist
to the already sordid scandal.

Anti-Cargill candidates
Editor,
I would like to know which candidates
for the Board of Supervisors for San Mateo
County have come out against the DMB-
Cargill atrocity I mean the massive Bay
ll development for which there is no more
water, that will add thousands of cars to
our freeways and roads and for which
Redwood City residents will have to pay
millions in taxes for 10-foot-high levees as
defense for sea level rise, (among other
negatives). I will only vote for the candi-
date that is against the Cargill project.

Redwood City
State Senate race
Editor,
While there are four candidates running
for state Senate in District 13 in our June
primary election, only one is a true vision-
ary. Former Assemblywoman Sally Lieber,
who is a staunch supporter of the environ-
ment, has been an outspoken critic of the
Cargill/DMB Saltworks project from the
beginning. Good for her for joining Occupy
Redwood City in rallying to support return-
ing the salt ponds into wetlands that will be
crucial protection as the bay waters rise.
By contrast, her leading opponent,
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, has accepted
more than $12,000 in campaign contribu-
tions from DMB Associates and Cargill.
That must be why he has not taken a stand
against the project.
Sally Lieber has been a strong supporter
of clean air and water legislation, increased
funding for community colleges, emphasis
on critical thinking skills in public schools
and better transparency in our initiative
process. But Sally is most visionary in her
understanding that the empowerment of
women, especially low-income women,
will benet all of us in the future.
Sally is not accepting contributions from
special interest lobbyists or corporations so
her vote cant be bought by those special
interests. There are so many excellent rea-
sons to vote for Sally Lieber.

F
oster Citys Earth Day Fair was
well-received. It brought into sharp
focus the key tenets of modern-day
sustainability principles. I am passionate to
bring these concepts into greater focus in the
coming years.
The city is embarking on its most signi-
cant planning initiative since its creation: the
process of creating the vision and plans
needed for a Sustainable Foster City. The
city has reached a point of saturation from
revenues associated with new development
and land sales. It must now look to the
future of redevelopment of privately-held
parcels with commercial partners and a revi-
talization of its commercial and retail centers
to the mutual benet of the city coffers, resi-
dents and land owners. This new era in land
use is a catalyst for change to our General
Plan, and an adjustment in the expectations
of our citizens denition of Quality of
Life.
We must identify a new set of criteria
which should consider a broad spectrum of
drivers and motivations. To do any less is to
diminish the process, the outcomes and the
economic health and future of our city. The
original General Plan and framework of the
city is outdated and needs to be redened to
meet the challenges of future. We need to
look forward through a new and updated
lens. Much to the credit of the city manager,
we are well prepared to embark on this
effort as he has prepared our city for just this
opportunity. He has created the necessary
foundation on which we can build our future
model of success.
A Sustainable Foster City is our citys
next generation planning. The word sustain-
able often causes concern for those who
associate it with environmental initiatives. It
is true, as good citizens, we must create and
maintain a physical model of consumption
that does not diminish our resources to the
point of no return, or adversely affect
ecosystems so they fail
or cannot survive. Most
of these conversations
focus on energy usage,
recycling, green prac-
tices, responsible con-
struction and other direct
impact environmental
considerations. Such top-
ics are popular and more
importantly, easy to endorse because they
are morally and ethically responsible. But,
sustainable communities do not exist in a
vacuum and cannot focus solely on the envi-
ronmental prong of the modern-day model.
Economic vitality and social equity are just
as critical each in their own way.
For a community to be able to deliver its
core services, it must have a nancial model
that endures the rigors of the cyclical nature
of an economy. Many couch this tenet in the
term economic development. The core idea
is that the community must develop an eco-
nomic blueprint that will fuel the res of
development, redevelopment, business
recruitment and urban planning with regard
to commercial development and retention of
business and prot centers.
However, probably the least considered is
the tenet of social equity. I consider this
tenet to be most challenging to be embraced.
Yet, it is the fabric by which the others are
held aloft. Social equity encompasses an
evaluation of what the community as a
whole needs to prosper both in a commercial
and residential sense. What types of busi-
nesses should our city invite and encourage
to locate in Foster City? Is the city creating
an environment that allows social equity and
availability of services, programs and goods
to all sectors of the community? It is also
about the relationship between our residents
and community programs. We must continue
to recognize the value of our parks and
recreation programs on the economic vitality
and health of our community.
It is time to reconsider the needs of our
community as a whole. The most recent cen-
sus shows a dramatic shift in the composi-
tion of our residents. Our retail centers strug-
gle and many commercial spaces remain
vacant. We need to embrace the changes; for
one thing is certain, change is inevitable.
Our city has an exemplary quality of life
that is the envy of the Peninsula. We enjoy a
healthy capital reserve and, through prudent
management by past and present City
Council(s) along with city staff, we maintain
several vigorous capital improvement funds.
These funds allow the city to maintain and
replace its infrastructure in a timely fashion
to ensure a consistent delivery of services
and appearance of the parks and roads.
While the city has been able to create this
quality of life through development, property
taxes and other revenue streams, we are
about to embark on new path that will test
both our council, our staff, our Chamber of
Commerce and city manager. Foster City
must address the current and future structur-
al budgetary decit that faces our city. The
challenge will be managing our residents
expectations and the hard economic realities
that all cities are facing including the loss of
state-funded redevelopment. We cannot
blue-sky budget on the hope of salvation
from an outside source. Past councils pru-
dently used strong nancial windfalls that
are not available to the current council. We
must now rethink, revamp and build a new
strategy that will fortify our nancial future.
This will not be built on prior actions but
rather on the foundation of the residual ben-
ets their legacy left: strong nancial
reserves, prudent and conservative budget-
ing, and a history of setting aside adequate
money to fund infrastructure maintenance
and repair.
This and future councils must build the
new sustainability model for Foster City.

Council. He can be reached at 468-3143 or by

The honor
of voting
O
ne week. That span is how much time
remains between today and Election
Day. Seven days for voters to educate
themselves about the candidates and measures;
seven days to make decisions that will impact
the next year, four years and beyond depending
upon the particular ofce or issue. Seven days
left also to exercise
one of the most basic
American rights.
Oh, it is all such a
tired plea anymore
remember to vote!
Dont be apathetic!
Make a difference!
Care! Ive pushed that
refrain more times
than I can even recall
in this space and
goodness knows simi-
lar entreaties have
lled similar spaces in
similar newspapers time and time again. Urging
participation and shaking ones head over voter
disinterest is certainly no new theme.
But the arguments, old though they may be,
are particularly poignant for this June 5 primary
election as it falls so soon after Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is the time we remember and
honor those men and women who are no longer
with us, who gave their lives defending our
country and its ideals which include the right to
vote. These soldiers put their lives on the line so
that, among other goals, those back home can
put marks on a ballot. Those choices translate
into leaders and decisions leaders who can
declare war and decisions that can help bring the
troops back.
The founding fathers must turn over in their
graves every election. They would have found
unfathomable the best we hope for is voter
turnout better than 20 percent or 30 percent. That
gure isnt anywhere near a passing grade, let
alone worth bragging rights. The most we can
say for that minority is that they at least partici-
pate.
For everybody else, whats the excuse? There
is the rst group, those who never even bothered
to register by the deadline. Maybe they are
newly eligible, maybe they moved, maybe they
want to change parties, maybe theyre waiting
for the presidential ght in November, maybe
theyre lazy, they forgot, they dont care. Fill in
the blank for excuses but none of it carries
weight. They should have put registering on the
to-do list somewhere between the annual vehicle
tag update and paying the phone bill. With all
the clipboard wielding folks at the stores and the
abundance of forms in other locales, there is no
excuse.
The second group are those did register but
will still fail to participate, again either deliber-
ately or through benign neglect. They need to
take a deep breathe and take these words to
heart: You forfeit the right to complain about
anything. Dont like the new taxes? Should have
voted. Think so-and-so being sworn into ofce
for the next four years is a complete idiot? Shut
it. Wonder how the heck the state crumbles, the
county falters, the cities and schools make mis-
steps? Wonder all you want but dont bother
ranting and raving. Those who cant bother to
vote shouldnt bother to grumble.
Yet there is still a little hope for this last demo-
graphic. These voters can still be counted in the
turnout and the outcome. There are still several
days and opportunities to pick up an election
guide, ip open a newspaper, visit campaign web
sites and even talk to the neighbors before partic-
ipating.
Not everybody can nor wants to show their
patriotism on the battle eld but every U.S. citi-
zen can do so at the ballot box.
So next Tuesday, take the time to vote.
Consider it a small way to honor the men and
women who no longer have the privilege.

NEW YORK Just as a trench dug in
the 1800s created a shortcut to the
nations interior and helped make New
York a global trading hub, the city is
now hoping for another Erie Canal
moment with a high-tech research com-
plex to be built on an island in the East
River.
The idea is to create an applied-sci-
ences university where engineers are
also trained as entrepreneurs from day
one. Proponents say New York, home to
powerful global companies and now
exploding with technological startups,
could shift this sector into top gear if the
latest ndings went straight into new
businesses.
Today were second only to Silicon
Valley as a tech center, and we dont like
to be second to anybody, Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said.
The $2 billion, 10-acre campus
planned for Roosevelt Island is being
called CornellNYC Tech and is a part-
nership between the Technion-Israel
Institute of Technology and Cornell
University, which has its main site in the
upstate town of Ithaca but also has a
major presence in New York City with
its medical school.
CornellNYC Tech expects to generate
$1 billion or more in tax revenue over
several decades, plus tens of thousands
of construction jobs.
Graduate students will start working
in September, using 22,000 square feet
of Manhattan space loaned free of
charge by Google. The island campus is
set to open in 2017, with construction
beginning after a half-abandoned, rust-
tinged hospital is demolished in early
2014 to make room for the gleaming
new community.
Roosevelt Island, a relatively placid
oasis facing the United Nations on the
Manhattan side and Queens on the other,
is home to high-rise residential buildings
and an aging hospital complex. The little
automobile trafc is courtesy of one
road connected to the mainland, and
most residents get back and forth on the
subway or on a sky tram over the river.
Patients are still getting care at a pub-
lic hospital built in 1939 that includes a
nursing home and long-term rehabilita-
tion center. Plans are in the works to
move the patients to facilities elsewhere
in the city.
Ofcials are reassuring residents that
their lives wont be disrupted.
Were going to use our expertise to
try to minimize the number of cars on
the island, Cornell President David
Skorton told concerned residents at a
recent town hall meeting.
The land for the project belongs to the
city, which is also providing $100 mil-
lion in public money for infrastructure.
Another $350 million comes from 81-
year-old Cornell alumnus Charles F.
Feeney, who made his fortune from
duty-free shops.

LONDON Former Prime Minister
Tony Blair testied Monday that he never
challenged the inuential British press
because doing so would have plunged his
administration in a drawn-out and politi-
cally damaging ght.
Blair led Britain from 1997 to 2007, and
his Labour Party government has been
criticized by many including some of
Blairs former colleagues as having an
unhealthy relationship with the countrys
press.
Blair, speaking under oath at an inquiry
into media ethics, said the issue wasnt that
he and Britains journalistic elite were too
cozy, but that he had to tread carefully
where press barons were concerned.
I took a strategic decision to manage
these people, not confront them, he told
Lord Justice Brian Leveson, who is lead-
ing the inquiry. I didnt say that I feared
them ... (but) had you decided to confront
them, everything would have been pushed
to the side.
It would have been a huge battle with
no guarantee of winning.
Levesons inquiry was set up following
revelations of phone hacking at Rupert
Murdochs News of the World tabloid, a
scandal which has rocked the British
establishment and raised questions about
whether top politicians helped shield
Murdoch and the media in general
from ofcial scrutiny.
Blairs time in ofce was marked by
unusually strong ties between Blairs left-
wing Labour Party and Murdochs News
Corp. a company whose holdings
include the populist The Sun newspaper
and the right-wing Fox News network.
Blair became a godfather to one of
Murdochs children and his government
has since been described by several col-
leagues as having been too close to the
media mogul.
The former prime minister made no
apologies for courting Murdoch, saying
he was just one of several media tycoons
who could make life difcult if they
werent happy with a position he was tak-
ing.
But he denied doing any kind of deal
with Murdoch, either express or implied.
Blairs testimony was briey interrupted
when a heckler burst in through a secure
corridor behind Leveson, shouting: This
man should be arrested for war crimes!
before being removed by security.
Blair says he ducked fight with UK media
DOHA, Qatar Qatars Interior Ministry said 13 children
were among 19 people killed in a re that broke out in one of
the countrys fanciest shopping malls late Monday morning,
raising questions about building safety in the booming Gulf
state.
At least some of the victims died as rescuers struggled to
reach a child care center at the Villaggio mall in the capital
Doha, according to Qatars Minister of State for Interior
Affairs, Sheik Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani.
Four of the children killed were Spanish citizens living in the
small Arab emirate, the Spanish Foreign Ministry said. It did
not identify the children, citing Spanish privacy regulations.
Also, a 3-year-old French child was among the victims, the
deputy minister for overseas French citizens, Yamina
Benguigui, said in a statement.
We tried our best, but when we got there, the children were
trapped inside. We are very sorry for what happened. We tried
as much as we could to save these people, Sheik Abdullah told
reporters in Doha.
Four teachers and two civil defense ofcials were among the
dead, the Qatari ministry said on its ofcial Twitter page.
Another 17 people were injured, including four children,
according to authorities. Most of those hurt were rescuers
responding to the blaze.
Witnesses earlier reported thick black smoke pouring from
the ritzy mall around midday. Amateur photos and videos post-
ed online showed reghters rescuing victims by climbing on
the roof.

CCS boys track final dotted by county athletes
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Good things happen to good peo-
ple.
Menlo-Atherton runner George
Baier is a testament to that state-
ment made by his head coach Alan
Perry.
A week before the Central Coast
Section track and field champi-
onships, Baiers 1600 meter run
time of 4:24.75 left him on the out-
side looking in as only the top 12
times qualied for CCS.
According to Perry, Baier took the
reality of it with disappointment.
But after Milpitas Yohaness
Estifanos withdrew from the cham-
pionship meet, Baier got a phone
call and a second chance.
And boy, did the Bear make the
most out of it.
Baiers win in the boys 1600
meter run was a local highlight at
the CCS track and eld champi-
onships last week. His time of
4:20.77 was .59 seconds better than
Adrian Hinojasa of Bellarmine.
No kid has ever out-worked
George in the time that Ive been
coaching, Perry said. He put
together a great last lap and secured
a spot at state.
Baier and Perry put together a
solid game plan heading into the
race. Suspecting a real tactical
approach by the eld, the disci-
plined Baier stayed with the pack
for the rst three laps and closed
very strong.
I think it speaks to the kind of
athlete that George is, Perry said.
He was upset (following the semi-
nals) because he had posted times
that could have easily qualied him
for the championships race. So, he
wanted to make up for it with this
second chance and show his team
that he belonged.

in four days and made a pretty
game-ending catch on the warning
track in right with two runners
aboard. Blanco also scored on a
double-steal to get things started in
San Franciscos three-run rst.

followed up his four-hit day in
Sundays 3-2 win at Miami with a
1-for-3 outing to push his total to 74
hits on an afternoon when home
run king Barry Bonds was among
the sellout crowd of 42,295 and
stopped by the clubhouse for a visit
before the game.
Cabrera singled in the sixth to
give him 47 hits for May, tying him
with Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda
for third-most hits in a month in San
Francisco history. If he gets to 49,
he would match Hall of Famer
Willie Mays for second most.
Zito (4-2) allowed two runs on
seven hits in seven innings to win
for the third time in four starts,
bouncing back from an 8-5 loss at
Milwaukee in which he was tagged
for eight runs and ve hits in three
innings.

ing division champion D-backs in
December by the rebuilding As,

After qualifying in fourth following the Central Coast Section
seminals a week before and setting a personal record in the 400
meter dash, the Menlo School sprinter outdid herself in the champi-
onship meet, locking up third place and securing a birth in the state
meet.
Once again, Price set a new personal mark of 56.68 after running a
57.38 in the semis. At the time, it was a half-second better than she
had ever done. Apparently, the sophomore had more in the tank.
Maddy ran a smart race, said Menlo assistant coach and middle
distance specialist Jorge Chen. She stayed relaxed and just took the
third place down. Shes looking really good, and we wont be sur-
prised if she hits low 56 at state.
Price shot out of gate and with 120 meters to go, the sophomore
was behind but in control, closing in strong to capture third place.

ased on what youve
seen so far this season,
if the San Francisco
Giants had a must-win game,
who would you rather see on
the mound: Tim Lincecum or
Barry Zito?
On the surface, its a no-
brainer: Lincecum all day long.
But that
d e c i s i o n
would be
based on
what both
guys have
done in the
past, not
the here
and now.
B e c a u s e
right now,
Zito is the
b e t t e r
pitcher. Going into Mondays
game against Arizona, Zito had
more wins and half the ERA
Lincecum does.
You can almost predict a
Lincecum outing right now:
grind through four or five
innings before the opposing
team knocks him out of the
game with a big inning.
So what happened to
Lincecum? One word: Fastball.
When Lincecum came up to the
Big Leagues, he was pumping
his fastball in the mid to high
90s. Every year since, he has
lost velocity, to the point now
where he is throwing in the high
80s, with the occasional pitch in
the 93-94 mph range.
While Lincecum has one of
the best changeups in the game
and hes reintroduced his slider
this season, his entire repertoire
is based off the fastball. If his
fastball isnt fast enough, it
reduces the effectiveness of the
rest of his pitches.
On top of all that, he is not
locating his fastball very well,
either. Hes walking a lot of
guys and throwing a lot of
pitches to get outs. When he is
at the 100-pitch mark in the
fth or sixth inning, its going
to make for a relatively short
outing.
People are saying the Giants
should hire Lincecums dad as
Tims personal pitching coach.
After all, hes the one who

Brown Trafton plans just one
more competition prior to the U.S.
Olympic Trials in a month next
weeks Prefontaine Classic in
Eugene, Ore., against an interna-
tional eld of probable Olympic
Games adversaries.
My one goal this year is to medal
at the Olympics, Brown Trafton
said via press release. I felt good
today. This is a lovely venue and I
consider it my home track (for com-
petition).
Prior to setting an American
record of 222-3 with Mauis friend-
ly winds at the beginning of May,
her personal best was 217-2 at CSM
in 2009. Powell-Roos, in search of a
fourth U.S. Olympic team berth,
had set the former U.S. record of
222-0 in 2007 and still has the all-
time longest throw by an American,
227-10, in 2002 a mark not
accepted as a record due to a slop-
ping landing area.
In the mens discus throw, Jason
Young set a CSM Stadium record
for the second time in two days. The
current No. 2 American threw 207-
10 to defeat reigning U.S. champion
Jarred Rome (194-5), Mike Torie
(191-11) and William Irwin (185-2).
In a USATF Olympic
Development competition on
Saturday, Young threw 205-6 to
upset current No. 1 American Russ
Winger (200-6) and also finish
ahead of Rome.
Left in the wake was the 40-year-
old stadium record of 202-10 by for-
mer world record holder John
Powell. Irwin took the shot put at
60-8 3/4, defeating host College of
San Mateos Josh Uikili (50-10
1/4).
Vashti Thomas spoiled the come-
back of Trinity Wilson in the battle
for former California state high
school champions Sunday.
Thomas, the two-time CIF 100
meter hurdles champion while at
San Joses Mt. Pleasant High
School, ran 13.72 seconds to edge
Wilson, the reigning champion for
St. Marys (Berkeley), who ran
13.74 with a zero wind reading.
Wilson, currently a senior at St.
Marys, had been sidelined nearly
two months with a toe injury and
missed all of her schools champi-
onship meets this season. The
USAs top high school track athlete
of 2011 was pleased with the start of
her second season with USATF
competition, however.
I just have to get my speed back
between the hurdles to where it
was, Wilson said. My start wasnt
as bad as it usually is, and I just
started practicing on the track again
last Wednesday.
Thomas, however, did get out
well ahead of Wilson, who closed
fast at the end. Thomas, who was
sixth in the 2010 NCAA
Championships for Texas A&M, is
now competing for San Franciscos
Academy of Art University and has
run a wind-aided 13.02 this year
Wilsons best time of 13.15, as a
junior last year, was an age 16
record and is an Olympic Games
B qualifying mark. She plans to
compete in the June 9 Golden West
Invitational national high school
meet in Folsom and then the USATF
Junior National Championships.

Azarenka overcomes terrible start
PARIS Only 22, just recently a
Grand Slam champion and ranked No. 1
for the rst time, Victoria Azarenka is
still learning to think like a top player.
So trailing by a set and one point from
being down 5-0 in the second at the
French Open on Monday, Azarenkas
mind was lled with a mix of things.
Sometimes I felt it was not my day,
she explained. Sometimes I thought,
Yeah, maybe I still ght, I still have a
chance. Sometimes it was like, You
know what? Forget it. I dont want to do
it.
And yet she did do it, listening to the
most positive of those voices and begin-
ning the climb back from a daunting
decit with a gutsy second-serve ace, of
all things. Showing how far shes come
from the petulance of earlier in her
career, Azarenka took 12 of the last 14
games to beat Alberta Brianti of Italy 6-
7 (6), 6-4, 6-2.
Before, maybe I would just give up
and go home. I was kind of thinking
there was a ight straight to Minsk, said
Azarenka, who was born in the capital of
Belarus. But I didnt want to leave too
soon.
She most certainly did not want to
become the only top-seeded woman to
lose in the first round of the French
Open since the tournament started
allowing foreign entrants in 1925. But
she needed every bit of fortitude to
right things while overcoming a whop-
ping 60 unforced errors, far more than
her 32 winners a terrible ratio for
anyone, let alone a player who consid-
ers herself a title contender.
Bad days happen, Azarenka said
with a shrug. Unfortunately, today I had
way more mistakes than I usually do.
The top-seeded man, Novak Djokovic,
limited his miscues to when he spoke to
the crowd in French after a victory
Monday, never even facing a break point
while beating Potito Starace of Italy 7-6
(3), 6-3, 6-1.
It wasnt that successful, Djokovic
said referring to his on-court post-
match interview, not his play, as he
began his bid to become the rst man
since Rod Laver in 1969 to win a fourth
consecutive Grand Slam title.
Im trying to take it slowly. Im run-
ning out of words, he said. Who
knows? Maybe (in the) next two weeks,
Ill learn something more.
It wouldnt be much of a surprise if
hes around long enough to face 16-time
major champion Roger Federer in the
seminals. They met in Paris at that
stage a year ago, when Federer ended
Djokovics 43-match winning streak.
The sports other leading man, defend-
ing champion Rafael Nadal, starts his try
for a record seventh French Open title on
Tuesday, facing Simone Bolelli of Italy.
Day 3 also features fourth-seeded Andy
Murray, 13-time Grand Slam champion
Serena Williams and three-time major
winner Maria Sharapova.

Mickelson joins group trying to buy Padres
DUBLIN, Ohio Phil Mickelson
wants to be more than just a fan of the
San Diego Padres. He wants to help buy
the team.
Mickelson said Monday he has a
joined one of the ve groups trying to
buy the team from John Moores, the
Padres majority owner for the last 18
years. Mickelson is part of the group
that includes four grandchildren of for-
mer Los Angeles Dodgers owner Walter
OMalley Kevin and Brian OMalley,
and their cousins Peter and Tom Seidler,
the chief executive of Class A Visalia
Rawhide.
Ive been talking
to them about being
involved with them,
having an opportuni-
ty to invest in the
team and being part
of the ownership
group, Mickelson
said. I think its a
very good invest-
ment opportunity.
More than that, its opportunity to be
involved in the community in San
Diego, with something that gives the
community a sense of pride. I feel like
we can make the Padres a competitive
team that can contend year in and year
out, and we can do something for the
community.
Its something Ive loved since I was
a kid.
The San Diego Union-Tribune rst
reported the involvement of Mickelson,
a four-time major champion who was
inducted this month into the World Golf
Hall of Fame. Mickelson brings the
OMalley clan a local investor and of
San Diegos greatest athletes.

Boxer Williams
paralyzed after
motorcycle crash
ATLANTA Boxer Paul Williams was paralyzed Sunday
after being involved in a motorcycle crash in the Atlanta sub-
urbs and doctors said it is unlikely he will continue his career,
his manager said Monday.
From the waist down, he has absolutely no movement. Hes
in very good spirits, though, George
Peterson told the Associated Press from
his home in Aiken, S.C. He still believes
hes going to ght again.
Williams, 30, severed his spinal cord
after falling on his back and head when he
was thrown from his motorcycle Sunday
morning in Marietta, Ga., Peterson said.
Williams has been listed in serious but sta-
ble condition on Monday at an undis-
closed hospital, Peterson said.
The crash happened Sunday morning in Marietta after
Williams tried to avoid another car in the next lane that was
negotiating a curve and then had to maneuver to avoid an
oncoming car. Williams was in the area to attend his brothers
wedding Sunday afternoon, Peterson said.
I know hes going to make a statement after surgery on
Wednesday, because hes that kind of person, Peterson said.
Hes 100 percent coherent and still has the will to want to get
back on the motorcycle.
Williams was scheduled to ght Saul Canelo Alvarez on
Sept. 15 in Las Vegas but that event has been canceled,
Peterson said.
His longtime promoter, Dan Goossen, conrmed the cancel-
lation of the ght on Monday evening.
Right now, theres no thinking about any ghts right now
except for the ght thats facing Paul right now to get
movement back in his body and keep the movement thats
above his waist, Goossen said.
Peterson said he continues to hope with Williams that the
boxers career isnt over.
I want to think along with him, cause Ive seen him do
things in his boxing career that shouldnt have happened, he
said.
Williams is among the most versatile and unusual athletes in
boxing, making him a highly undesirable opponent for the
worlds best ghters during his lengthy, successful career. He
has competed effectively in an impressive three weight class-
es against much shorter foes, even comfortably making the
147-pound welterweight limit despite his lanky 6-foot-2
frame.
Williams won his rst major welterweight title in July 2007
with a decision over Antonio Margarito. He struggled to land
ghts with the sports biggest stars because of his pronounced
size advantages, a high-volume punching rate and his relative
anonymity, but was considered one of the worlds top pound-
for-pound stars.
He earned victories over Carlos Quintana, Winky Wright,
Sergio Martinez and Kermit Cintron, but Martinez abruptly
stopped Williams rise in November 2010 with a second-round
victory in their rematch. Williams ended up face-down on the
canvas with his eyes wide open in perhaps the most spectacu-
lar knockout in recent boxing history.
Williams was unimpressive in his next two ghts, but his
bout with Alvarez the popular young Mexican star at Las
Vegas MGM Grand Garden was his return to the big time
and a chance to win Alvarezs WBC 154-pound belt.
We want his fans to know hes going to be all right and
hell be back, Peterson said. He said if he wasnt going to be
boxing, hes going to be a stand-up comedian.

Capps saves Twins 5-4 win over As
MINNEAPOLIS Matt Capps came to the
mound for Minnesota with the familiar sound-
track of Metallica music and a round of boos.
Nobody at Target Field was cheering louder
at the end than his teammates.
Justin Morneaus tying double in the eighth
inning set up Capps for another dramatic save
in the ninth, and the Twins rallied past
Oakland for a 5-4 victory on Monday, a sea-
son-high sixth straight loss for the Athletics.
Theres not a bigger competitor on this
team than Capps, and no one wants to win
more. Theres not a better teammate, either.
When he has a game like this were all cheer-
ing for him, and when he has a game like yes-
terday we all feel for him, said designated
hitter Ryan Doumit, who drove in the go-
ahead run off previously perfect reliever Ryan
Cook (1-1) with a sacrice y after Morneaus
bloop down the line.
Capps bounced back from his rst blown
attempt of the season the day before on a
two-run homer by Detroits Miguel Cabrera
by striking out Jonny Gomes with the bases
loaded to notch his 10th save and help the
Twins stop their own ve-game losing streak.
I dont blame people for booing. They
expect us to do a job, and Im no different
from the 24 other guys in here, Capps said.
Dont assume he feels fine about that,
though.
I wouldnt be human if I didnt feel some-
thing. Nobody likes that, especially in their
home ballpark, Capps said, adding: No mat-
ter what the fans think, this organization still
expects it out of me, and Ive got to go out and
do it.
Colin Cowgill reached on a elding error by
second baseman Alexi Casilla, who let a slow
roller slide right under his glove to make the
inning more challenging for Capps. Jemile
Weeks walked with one out. The runners
moved up on a line drive by Coco Crisp that
Capps dropped but picked up and threw over
for the second out. Josh Reddick, who home-
red and tripled earlier, was intentionally
walked to load the bases.
But Capps blew a 94-mph fastball by
Gomes to end that at-bat on three pitches.
We feel comfortable with him on the
mound. Hes a guy with guts, Morneau said,
adding about the booing: Its disappointing to
see that sometimes, but obviously peoples
expectations are high, just as ours are.
Alex Burnett (2-0) gave
up an RBI single to Kurt
Suzuki in the eighth that
put the As in front 4-3
after Jeff Gray walked
back-to-back batters with
one out, but Kila Kaaihue
grounded into a double
play, the fourth of the
game for the As. Then the
Twins rallied with rare
success against Cook (1-1), who entered the
game without a run and just four hits allowed
in 23 innings this year.
Joe Mauer hustled for an ineld single and
stole second base to spark the rally.

Sports brief
Melvin says Mannys
arrival 50-50 for Wednesday
MINNEAPOLIS Oakland Athletics man-
ager Bob Melvin says there is a 50-50
chance suspended slugger Manny Ramirez
will join the team when his
50-game drug ban expires
Wednesday.
Ramirez was scheduled
to play Monday for Triple-
A Sacramento, but the
Tuesday plan was yet to be
determined. The afternoon
start in Minnesota on
Wednesday would likely
require Ramirez to travel
Tuesday rather than
squeeze another minor league game in. The As
want Ramirez to get his swing in better shape
before hes brought up, but Melvin said
Monday his struggling offense might prompt
Ramirezs immediate arrival.
The As reinstated third baseman Brandon
Inge from the 15-day disabled list Monday and
optioned catcher Anthony Recker to
Sacramento.

helped shape Lincecums delivery.
But Chris Lincecum was on KNBR
a couple weeks ago and said he is
just as bafed as everyone else when
it comes to his sons struggles. He
also said he can no longer offer his
son much in the way of advice on
how to x things.
Someone once said the biggest
obstacle in sports is the six inches
between your ears; your mind, in
other words. Right now, Lincecum is
so wrapped up inside his brain its
gotta be affecting his pitching. My
advice to him would be to think
about nothing more than getting the
speed up on his fastball. It appears
hes been so concerned about per-
fecting his changeup and snapping
off his slider, hes put the fastball on
the backburner. Its time Lincecum
goes back to being a fastball pitcher
and worry about the rest later.
Because right now, there is anoth-
er question Giants fans have to be
asking themselves: Is the Giants
brass more concerned about
Lincecums struggles or more happy
he didnt sign that seven-year, 100-
million dollar contract?

Prices showing at CCS was one
of several highlights on the girls
side for local athletes.
Joining Price at state will be
Westmoors Kylie Goo, who n-
ished second in the girls 800 meter
run, a little less than two seconds
behind Nikki Hiltz of Aptos.
Also making the trip to Veterans

sophomore finished third in the
girls 300 meter hurdles with a
45.75.
Her Panthers teammate Catherine
Lowdon just missed the podium in
the girls 1600 meter run, nishing
fourth place behind a pair of strong
Aptos runners. Lowdon finished

besting their seventh place qualify-
ing position in the seminals.
In the field events, Sabrina
Mendoza of Mills, the reigning
Daily Journal girls track athlete of

Jeffersons Myles Holmes placed

Holmes best nish of the day
came with a bronze showing in the
200 meter dash after qualifying in
eighth.
Another Bear with a strong show-
ing was Dijonn Williams, who n-
ished fourth in the boys long jump.
Dijonn has been the unofcial
leader of the team this year, Perry
said. Hes done everything weve
asked him to do.
Serra took two of the three podi-
um spots in the boys shot put.
Jon Beering (56-9.5) and Luke
Longinotti (55-10.25) hit big throws
to take second and third place
respectively. Both throws were per-

Stephen Leach from Carmel threw
57-9 on his last attempt.
JD Elzie of Aragon finished
fourth in the boys 100 meter dash.
Michael Hester of M-A placed
fth in the 800 meter run. Rory

World Series of Poker opens in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS For serious
poker players, its like Christmas
and the Olympics combined.
The World Series of Poker opened
in Las Vegas Monday with its rst
gold bracelet event. More than
2,000 players entered the $1,500
buy-in, three-day tournament at the
Rio hotel and casino off the Las
Vegas Strip.
The World Series of Poker draws
tens of thousands of poker fans to
Las Vegas each year to compete for
millions in prize money and 61
championship bracelets.
This weeks event stretches from
noon to 2 a.m. Poker champions
Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham and
Daniel Negreanu were among the
players.
For their $1,500 buy-in, players
get chips worth $5,000 in game
money. They cant cash out. The
point is to not go bust and stay in
as long as possible to make it to
the final rounds on Wednesday,
when the champion will win the
first of the many bedazzled
bracelets given out during the
series and several hundred thou-
sand dollars. Participants can only
make money if they make into the
final 10 percent of players.
On Monday, the poker tables were
lled with dozens of young men, a
few older men and some women.
Some players listened to music on
headphones during the rounds and
few drank alcohol, their focus most-
ly on the cards.
The stamina required to play
through all the rounds tends to draw
young male participants, said
WSOP spokesman Seth Palansky.
They are making it hard for the
older players, Palansky said.
Pius Heinz, 22, of Germany, won
the $8.72 million top prize last year
out of 75,000 participants. About 95
percent of them were men.
The World Series of Poker will
host a never-before-seen $1 million
buy-in tournament this year expect-
ed to generate the biggest top prize
in poker history at more than $12
million. Nearly 40 players have
already entered.
The charity-focused Big One for
One Drop starts July 1 in Las Vegas.
The final table will air live on
ESPN.
Admission to watch the games is
free. The main event starts July 7.
The nals are held on Oct. 28.

Barry Bonds moves forward from conviction
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Bonds
is publicly referring to himself as a
convicted felon these days, and hes
quick to point out that conviction was
never for steroid use.
He appealed his obstruction of jus-
tice conviction from April 2011 on one
count of giving an evasive answer to a
2003 grand jury investigating illegal
steroids distribution.
I went through the system. And
thats what it is, Bond said Monday,
attending the Diamondbacks-Giants
while doing charity work through Big
Brothers and Sisters of the Bay Area.
And thats what I got. I went through
the system. Im in an appeal process
right now. I was never convicted of
steroids.
The slugger said he met recently
with Giants president and CEO Larry
Baer about working for the club in
some capacity, and Bonds has a per-
sonal services contract the Giants have
said could go into effect once his legal
proceedings were in the past.
When asked if he regrets any con-
nection to the Bay Area Laboratory
Co-Operative, Bonds said: Do I have
any regrets? What happened happened.
Its there. It is what it is. I live with it.
Im a convicted felon for obstruction
of justice, and thats who I am. I live
with it.
The 47-year-old home run king,
looking especially lean at about 212
pounds from his new love for cycling,
also spent a stint in the broadcast booth
during San Franciscos 4-2 win.
Its always a treat when he comes
around, winning pitcher Barry Zito
said. I love Barry. Barry Bonds
HEALTH 17
By Tracie Cone
SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK,
On a clear day, the view from
Beetle Rock in Sequoia National
Park extends west for 105 miles
across the patchwork of crops in
Californias agricultural heartland
to the Coast Mountains and the
Pacic Ocean beyond.
The problem is there are few clear
days, even at 6,200 feet.
The Sierra Nevada forest that is
home to the biggest and oldest liv-
ing things on earth the giant
Sequoia redwoods also suffers a
dubious distinction. It has the worst
air pollution of any national park in
the country.
Mountaintops that should offer
awe-inspiring views of
Californias geologic grandeur
often are muddled by a disorient-
ing gray soup of smog.
Ozone levels here are compara-
ble to urban settings such as LA,
said Emily Schrepf of the nonprot
advocacy group the National Park
Conservation Association as she
beheld the diminished view. Its
just not right.
This is not the place to take in a
whiff of fresh mountain air. Smog is
so bad that signs in visitors centers
caution guests when its not safe to
hike. The government employment
website warns job applicants that
the workplace is unhealthy. And
park workers are schooled every
year on the lung and heart damage
the pollution can cause.
Ozone also is to blame for weak-
ening many stands of the parks
Jeffrey and ponderosa pines, leav-
ing telltale yellowing of their long
needles. Instead of absorbing car-
bon dioxide, they soak up ozone
through the stoma in their needles,
which inhibits photosynthesis.
Ozone also stresses young redwood
seedlings, which already face chal-
lenges to survival.
Although weakened trees are
more susceptible to drought and
pests, the long-term impact on the
pines and on the giant redwoods
that have been around for 3,000
years and more is unclear.
Its not a great story to tell, but
its an important story to tell
because you can look at us as being
the proverbial canary in a
coalmine, said Annie Esperanza, a
park scientist who has studied air
quality there for 30 years. If this is
happening in a national park that
isnt even close to an urban area,
what do you think is happening in
your backyard?
Its a problem in a handful of the
nations 52 parks that are monitored
constantly for ozone, including
Joshua Tree National Park in
Californias Mojave Desert and
North Carolinas Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, which is
ringed by power plants and several
major highways including Interstate
40, a major tractor-trailer shipping
route. But none is in the ballpark
with Sequoia and its neighbor,
Kings Canyon.
Under the Clean Air Act, the
region that encompasses Sequoia
and Kings Canyon national parks
has been designated a Class 1 air
shed, which means by 2064 it must
have pure air with no degradation of
visibility. But that apparently didnt
take into consideration its proximity
to one of the worst air quality basins
in the country.
It does take visitors by surprise,
Esperanza said. On a day its
unhealthy, we ask people if youre
going to do a rigorous hike, we rec-
ommend early morning. Its limit-
ing, its quite telling, and its very
sad.
While forest res create some
pollution, the lions share comes
from the San Joaquin Valley, the
expanse of farmland that is home to
the Californias two busiest north-
south trucking highways, diesel
freight train corridors, 1.7 million
dairy cows, food processing plants
and tens of thousands of diesel trac-
tors plowing dusty elds. Its trough
shape traps pollutants, and high-
pressure systems act like a lid on a
pot.
Smog is created when the suns
rays hit pollutants such as oxides of
nitrogen and volatile organic com-
pounds that are in motor vehicle
exhaust, solvents, pesticides, gaso-
line vapors and decaying dairy
manure.

List of national
parks with the
highest smog levels
FRESNO Sequoia National Park, home to the giant red-
woods, suffers the worst air pollution of any national park in
the country. Here are the parks in the National Park Service
system with the highest smog levels and the number of days
monitors recorded violations last year:
Sequoia National Park, Calif.: 87.
Joshua Tree National Park, Calif.: 56.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, N.C.: 12.
Yosemite National Park, Calif.: 8.
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo.: 8
Big Bend National Park, Texas: 7.
Mojave National Preserve, Calif.: 6
An ozone reading of 75 parts per billion or higher, which the
EPA says is unhealthy for sensitive groups, is considered a
violation of the agencys regulations. The following parks
exceeded that level in 2011:
Sequoia National Park, Calif.: 98 ppb (unhealthy for every-
one)
Joshua Tree National Park, Calif. 91 ppb (unhealthy for
everyone)
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, N.C.: 83 ppb
(unhealthy for sensitive groups)
Big Bend National Park, Texas: 80 ppb (unhealthy for sen-
sitive groups)
Yosemite National Park, Calif.: 79 ppb (unhealthy for sen-
sitive groups)
Mojave National Preserve, Calif.: 78 ppb (unhealthy for
sensitive groups)
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo.: 77 ppb (unhealthy

LOS ANGELES Across the vast Pacic,
the mighty bluen tuna carried radioactive
contamination that leaked from Japans crip-
pled nuclear plant to the shores of the United
States 6,000 miles away the rst time a
huge migrating sh has been shown to carry
radioactivity such a distance.
We were frankly kind of startled, said
Nicholas Fisher, one of the researchers report-
ing the findings online Monday in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences.
The levels of radioactive cesium were 10
times higher than the amount measured in
tuna off the California coast in previous years.
But even so, thats still far below safe-to-eat
limits set by the U.S. and Japanese govern-
ments.
Previously, smaller sh and plankton were
found with elevated levels of radiation in
Japanese waters after a magnitude-9 earth-
quake in March 2011 triggered a tsunami that
badly damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi reac-
tors.
But scientists did not expect the nuclear
fallout to linger in huge sh that sail the world
because such sh can metabolize and shed
radioactive substances.
One of the largest and speediest sh, Pacic
bluen tuna can grow to 10 feet and weigh
more than 1,000 pounds. They spawn off the
Japan coast and swim east at breakneck speed
to school in waters off California and the tip
of Baja California, Mexico.
Five months after the Fukushima disaster,
Fisher of Stony Brook University in New York
and a team decided to test Pacic bluen that
were caught off the coast of San Diego. To
their surprise, tissue samples from all 15 tuna
captured contained levels of two radioactive
substances ceisum-134 and cesium-137
that were higher than in previous catches.
To rule out the possibility that the radiation
was carried by ocean currents or deposited in
the sea through the atmosphere, the team also
analyzed yellown tuna, found in the eastern
Pacic, and bluen that migrated to Southern
California before the nuclear crisis. They
found no trace of cesium-134 and only back-
ground levels of cesium-137 left over from
nuclear weapons testing in the 1960s.
The results are unequivocal. Fukushima
was the source, said Ken Buesseler of the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who
had no role in the research.
Bluen tuna absorbed radioactive cesium
from swimming in contaminated waters and
feeding on contaminated prey such as krill
and squid, the scientists said. As the predators
made the journey east, they shed some of the
radiation through metabolism and as they
grew larger. Even so, they werent able to
completely ush out all the contamination
from their system.
Thats a big ocean. To swim across it and
still retain these radionuclides is pretty amaz-
ing, Fisher said.
Pacic bluen tuna are prized in Japan
where a thin slice of the tender red meat pre-
pared as sushi can fetch $24 per piece at top
Tokyo restaurants. Japanese consume 80 per-
cent of the worlds Pacic and Atlantic bluen
tuna.
The real test of how radioactivity affects
tuna populations comes this summer when
researchers planned to repeat the study with a
larger number of samples. Bluen tuna that
journeyed last year were exposed to radiation
for about a month. The upcoming travelers
have been swimming in radioactive waters for
a longer period. How this will affect concen-
trations of contamination remains to be seen.
Now that scientists know that bluen tuna
can transport radiation, they also want to track
the movements of other migratory species
including sea turtles, sharks and seabirds.
Radioactive bluefin tuna crossed the Pacic to U.S.
Scientists did not expect the nuclear fallout
from Japan to linger in huge sh that sail the
world because such sh can metabolize and
shed radioactive substances.

WASHINGTON Maxed out on the
medications, is how Bill Ezzell describes his
struggle with blood pressure. Its dangerously
high even though the North Carolina man
swallows six different drugs a day.
Hypertension may be the nations sneakiest
epidemic, a time bomb thats a leading cause of
heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure, and
one thats growing worse as the population rap-
idly grows older.
Despite an arsenal of drugs, millions of peo-
ple in the United States cant get their blood
pressure down to safe levels. Now, in a high-
stakes experiment at dozens of hospitals, scien-
tists are testing a dramatically different
approach for the toughest to treat patients, by
burning away some overactive nerves deep in
the body that can fuel rising blood pressure.
To attempt an invasive treatment a
catheter is threaded through blood vessels in
the groin up to the kidneys reects doctors
frustration with a disease that too often is
underrated because people with it dont look or
feel sick until a lot of damage has been done.
Pharmaceutical therapies have been the cor-
nerstone of medicine for nearly a century,
offering convenient, noninvasive treatment for
countless diseases. But when it comes to some
of the most stubborn chronic conditions,
including diabetes, obesity and hypertension,
medications too often arent enough.
Medical devices
Researchers increasingly are trying medical
devices and minimally invasive surgeries to
help, such as stomach-shrinking techniques
that improve obesity-caused diabetes and the
new hypertension experiment.
I think we have to hit on all cylinders if
were going to take on these very important
diseases, said Dr. Steven Nissen, chair of the
Cleveland Clinics department of cardiology.
There are many examples where this conver-
gence is taking place, where you push the
drugs as far as you can, but when they cant go
any further, you step in with more invasive
approaches.
Cardiologists interest in the nerve-zapping
procedure also reects how severe the burden
of hypertension is poised to become, with
many middle-aged boomers already affected.
People are living longer with hypertension,
and the disease tends to get worse as you get
older, said Dr. Suzanne Oparil, a hypertension
specialist at the University of Alabama,
Birmingham. The complications pile on
later.
If deadening kidney nerves sounds like a
strange way to attack hypertension, consider
that nerves in the bodys ght or ight sys-
tem play a role in signaling kidney functions,
which in turn help regulate blood pressure,
such as by relaxing or tightening key arteries.
If there was a snake in the room, all of our
blood pressures would go up, appropriately
so, explained interventional cardiologist Dr.
Manesh Patel of Duke University, one of more
than 60 medical centers around the country
studying Medtronic Inc.s nerve-zapping pro-
cedure.
But sometimes those nerves stay switched on
when they shouldnt be, something todays
medications cant address. The hope is that
destroying a small number of the nerves could
calm an overactive system, relaxing arteries
and lowering blood pressure.
Interrupting that signal makes physiologic
sense, Patel said, adding that some patients
have driven hundreds of miles to see if theyre
candidates. Theres a large unmet need.
Some 78 million people in the country, about
1 in 3 adults, have high blood pressure, mean-
ing readings of 140 over 90 or higher. An addi-
tional 27 million people will have it by 2030,
says a grim forecast from the American Heart
Association. Thats because the population is
getting fatter and older. In fact, about half of
people in their 50s have high blood pressure
but by age 75, three-fourths do.
If people live long enough, the vast majori-
ty are going to have hypertension, says Dr.
Michael Mussolino of the National Institutes of
Healths cardiovascular division.
Only about half of patients have their hyper-
tension under control. Most need multiple
drugs to treat it. Some 10 percent, more than 7
million people like Ezzell, have the resistant
hypertension that is the initial target of the
nerve-zapping procedure people with high
blood pressure despite three or more different
kinds of medications.
Renal denervation, the procedure being pro-
moted by Minneapolis-based Medtronic and
other companies, has its roots in primitive
nerve-severing operations performed in the
1950s, which often lowered blood pressure but
at the expense of permanently injuring patients.
Only in recent years have researchers revisited
the technique, after companies developed easy-
to-use catheters that can beam radiofrequency
waves to burn away specic nerves without
damaging the surrounding blood vessel.
Its aimed at only the hardest-to-treat
patients. In small Medtronic studies, those
treated saw the key top number of a blood pres-
sure reading drop an average of 33 points,
although they still needed their medications.
Medtronic reported in March that the improve-
ments were lasting up to three years. The
companys Symplicity catheter is approved to
treat hypertension in Europe and Australia, as
are some competitors versions.
More rigorous study
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
required a more rigorous study, now enrolling
more than 500 people, that includes an
unusual step to prove if it really works. Some
patients receive the real procedure and some
get a fake just the catheter, no zapping.
Patel describes patients wearing a blindfold
and earphones while lying sedated on the
treatment table, to ensure they dont know
which theyre getting.
Although pilot studies show few side
effects, potential risks include bleeding, an
injured blood vessel, immediate blood pres-
sure or heartbeat problems, or complications
from medications used in the procedure.
Ezzells systolic pressure,
that top number, hovers
around 190 and sometimes
jumps to a super-dangerous
230, despite his six daily
drugs.
The doctors seemed at
wits end as to what to do
about it, says Ezzell, 74, of
Jacksonville, N.C. So he got
on the Internet, tracking
down the Medtronic study at
Duke, about two hours
away.
Ezzell was treated this
month and is waiting to see
if his blood pressure drops,
which earlier research
shows happens gradually
over six months.
Cardiologists are excited
by the early ndings, said
Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, the heart associations
president.
But what we dont know is the long-term
effect of nerve zapping, Tomaselli cau-
tioned. Its going to take a little bit of time
to make sure there are not adverse effects two
years, three years, 10 years down the line.
In the last three years, the FDA has
approved similar catheters that beam radio
waves to treat asthma and a type of irregular
heartbeat, conditions traditionally treated
with medications.
More than ve dozen companies are pursu-
ing devices for hypertension, from catheters
similar to Medtronics to permanent implants
left in arteries to regulate blood pressure.
In Europe, Medtronics hypertension pro-
cedure costs about $14,000, sticker shock
compared with the generic prices of standard
hypertension medications and another reason
for careful study to prove its effects.
Gwen Dirks, 71, of Virginia, Ill., was grate-
ful to get the procedure in an early study. Her
blood pressure was 200 over 120 despite two
drugs.
Ive been on medications since I was 40,
Dirks said. Over the years I have tried many
different things and got to the point where they
no longer worked.
Two years after her experimental treatment,
Dirks says her blood pressure is stable at about
130 over 80, although she continues to take her
medications.

Previously, Pizza My Heart, located at
235 Primrose Road, was approved as the
fth new food establishment. However,
as Pizza My Heart is within the Safeway
development, it is no longer part of the
Burlingame Avenue Commercial
District opening up a spot for a new
establishment, according to a staff report
by Senior Planner Ruben Hurin.
As a result, the commission will study
plans to open a retail loose leaf tea shop
at 1400-1402 Burlingame Avenue and
303 Primrose Road. Currently all three
spaces are vacant but were most recently
occupied by the Burlingame Smoke
Shop at 1400 Burlingame Ave.,
Georgiou Studio at 1402 Burlingame
Ave. and Domez at 303 Primrose Road.
Plans include combining these three
space to create a 1,386-square-foot
space.
In 2009, the council voted unanimous-
ly to allow ve new full-service restau-
rants to be added on Burlingame Avenue
between Primrose Road and El Camino
Real; Park Road and Lorton Avenue
between Burlingame and Howard
avenues; and Primrose Road between
Burlingame and Chapin avenues,
according to a staff report.
No businesses were added in the year,
resulting in expansion of the area in
which new businesses could open to
include the west side of California Drive
south of Burlingame Avenue. In addi-
tion, the type of business allowed could
be expanded from full-service restau-
rants to include limited-food service,
like a take-out only facility and bars.
The commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
May 29 at City Hall, 501 Primrose
Road, Burlingame.
SHOPS
and sense of duty of those whom have
passed after serving their country.
Daly City Police officer Peter
Skeehan, who served eight years in the
U.S. Navy as a SEAL, spoke of the fam-
ily-like connection those who serve
together create. Those experiences, he
added, can often make transitioning
back to civilian life a challenge.
Remembering those who have served
started over 140 years ago.
On May 5, 1868, Gen. John Logan,
in his capacity as commander in chief
of the veterans organization Grand
Army of the Republic, issued a procla-
mation that Decoration Day be
observed nationwide. It was observed
for the first time on May 30 that same
year. The date was chosen since it was
not the anniversary of a battle.
Memorial Day was first used in 1882
and became more common after World
War II. It was not declared with the
official name under federal law until
1967.
During the service, Kathy McCall,
director of Golden Gate National
Cemetery, said renovations were in the
works to place wrought iron fencing on
El Camino Real and Sneath Lane,
which currently has a chain-link fence.
In addition, the ceremony spot would
soon be upgraded.

The council can then decide whether
to appoint an interim councilperson or
leave the seat empty.
Acting Mayor Matt Grocott and
Councilman Mark Olbert offered com-
promises at the councils last special
meeting Olberts for a special elec-
tion but with a focus on experienced
appointment candidates and Grocott for
the regular election but with appointees
pledging not to run again but Collins
and Grassilli didnt budge. Grocott,
whose primary concern is giving an
interim member the advantage of an 18-
month incumbency if he or she chooses
to run in November 2013, said hes dig-
ging his heels in even further for a spe-
cial election after further thought.
Grocott argues voters didnt get a say
on the seat in 2009 because former
mayor Andy Klein ran unopposed. If the
voters arent given an election until
2013, Grocott says they havent really
had the chance to choose since the 2005
contested race.
That makes me want to press for an
election even more than I was before,
Grocott said. And if Im going to com-
promise from holding an election now,
Im sticking to my guns on putting the
condition they at least say they promise
not to run.
The city cant legally bar appointees
from running in the next regular term but
the council has previously made the
request of applicants for prior appoint-
ments.
Grassilli adamantly disagrees with
even asking and both he and Collins are
pushing for the November 2013 election
based on the cost and the desire for some
stability. Former mayor Omar Ahmad
died unexpected in May 2011, leading to
the interim appointment of former coun-
cilman Brad Lewis until the election that
November. Klein abruptly resigned in
April 2012 for personal reasons, leading
to the current vacancy, and Grassilli said
those changes coupled with the two new
elected members leave the city in need
of rm footing.
The division on the council over the
vacancy has left Grocott and Olbert
wondering why the other two are not
willing to meet them somewhere in the
middle to nd a resolution.
For the life of me I cant understand
why they cant compromise, Grocott
said. I can respect people see things
from a different viewpoint but I really
want to understand why Bob and Ron
dont feel they can even come up with a
compromise. I do think there is a per-
sonality involved.
Olbert was not available for comment
on the upcoming meeting but in his blog
has also voiced concern of a not so hid-
den agenda based on Grassilli and
Collins favoring a particular candidate.
Both Grassilli and Collins fervently
denied the idea.
I dont have any person in mind,
Grassilli said. I didnt go into this with
any kind of agenda at all.
Collins said his only agenda is to get
the best qualied person to ll that seat
for the remainder of Andys term.
Everybody knows that.
At Tuesdays meeting, the council
must also choose a mayor and vice
mayor. Grocott, the vice mayor, has
served as acting mayor since Kleins res-
ignation.

$800,000 to renovate the Jockey Club, a
satellite wagering facility, in 2008. The
fund is certainly not enough to fund an
entire expansion project but it does allow
putting some money back into the facili-
ties and the $70,000 for the study,
Carpenter said.
The feasibility report is due back in
June and will include analyses of confer-
ence center demand, program and event
levels, the hotel market, nancial opera-
tions including revenue and expenses
and the economic and scal impact.
We dont know yet what it will say
but were hoping for some good infor-
mation for the type of project we would
like to have, Carpenter said.
Carpenter said a conference center
with multipurpose functions is prefer-
able to a convention center. Meeting
planners have said theyre looking not
just for a center but also a destination
where attendees can go off site for shop-
ping, restaurants and entertainment.
Shuttle buses can easily transport visi-
tors for that, Carpenter said.
Changes at the Event Center are not
just being weighed internally; a hotel
there, for example, has been oated dur-
ing county discussions about future eco-
nomic development as has the sugges-
tion of more modern facilities.

STEPH LEONOUDAKIS
Maddox, Zachary and Rosellen Fenell commemorate Memorial Day by saying
thank youto the troops yesterday at a ceremony at Orange Park in South San
Francisco. The family was the guests of Maj. Nathan Fenell, who spoke at yester-
days event.
TUESDAY, MAY 29, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youre likely to be
unusually adept at handling critical situations to the
satisfaction of all parties. Now is the time to bury
your head in that big job.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its one of those rare
times when even tough assignments are likely to be
easy for you, so dont waste the day on mundane
activities. Make the most of your hot streak.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong possibility
that you might be quite a bit luckier than your friends
and colleagues, which is nice. However, youll have
to be sure to include others in your good fortune or
face mass resentment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One of your better assets
is your ability to provide practical tips to those who
are looking for the best application for their good
ideas. Speak out and youll share in the wealth.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its OK to keep things to
yourself. Those not directly involved in your affairs
arent entitled to a running account of your doings, so
dont feel bad about not providing one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your chances of
getting something that youve been hoping for are
exceptionally strong. Dont lessen your chances
by being unduly forceful with those who can make
things happen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Certain objectives
that are unattainable to most people wont necessarily
be as tough for you to reach. Dont allow others history
of failure to dissuade you from making an attempt.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Rather than treating
todays events emotionally, try to be philosophical.
Letting your logic rather than negative thoughts
prevail allows good things to happen
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Regardless of what
else occurs, Lady Luck is steadfastly determined to
tilt things your way. Dont let negative things that go
on around you cause you to give up on your goals.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its one of those days
when you might not do all that is expected of you,
but -- lucky you -- youll have a loyal friend stead-
fastly getting your back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Regardless of how
much you might want to play hooky, you shouldnt
shirk your duties. Actually, its a day when you could
realize unusually large rewards from a job well done.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try to fnd a way to
disengage yourself from mundane domestic or
workplace jobs that can wait, and seek out some
outlets that offer you a change of pace. Itll do you a
lot of good.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
JEAN ARBELBIDE
Case Number 122298
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Jean Arbelbide. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Jean
Marie Arbelbide in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Jean
Marie Arbelbide be appointed as person-
al representative to administer the estate
of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
203 Public Notices
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 4, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
