GRAND JURY ALLEGES ABUSE OF POWER

San Mateo County is allowed to
hold up to three all-mail ballot elec-
tions after the governor Friday
signed a bill authored by
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-
South San Francisco.
The legislation lets the county
join Yolo County in a pilot program
through 2018 in which they can hold
elections by mail. The pilot will col-
lect more data that could potentially
lead to wider use statewide.
Mullin called
this a wonderful
opportunity for
local voters.
Our county
already has a
strong history of
voting by mail
and this pilot
program will
provide impor-
tant voter turnout information from
an urban county with a widely diverse
population. It is also an important
step forward in modernizing our vot-
ing process,
Mullin said in a
prepared state-
ment.
Supporters of
all-mail ballot
elections have
said they can cut
down on cost,
speed up results
and push up
voter turnout.
For those elections, a ballot,
return envelope and prepaid postage
will be mailed to each voter. There
will be at least one physical polling
place and dropoff location in each
city.
The next step for local elections
ofcials is convincing cities to par-
ticipate. Elections Chief Mark
Church previously told the Daily
Journal he will need to launch an edu-
cation and outreach campaign.
The chosen dates can include off-
year elections, such as city council
and school board races, and special
elections.
Mullin said he appreciates
Churchs support.
I know he and his staff are on
board with its implementation,
Mullin said.
San Mateo County ofcials have
unsuccessfully lobbied for all-mail
ballot elections for several years and
its voters have long favored absentee
ballots in its own elections. In the
June primary, mail-in ballots
accounted for 78 percent of votes
cast. Neighboring counties saw sim-
ilar trends. Santa Clara County noted
81 percent by mail and Marin County
had 77 percent, according to data
from Church.

A banking executive accused of
groping two women while pretend-
ing to be a security screener at San
Francisco International Airport
will not be charged with any crime.
Eric Slighton, 53, of San
Francisco and Hong Kong, was due
in court Monday for his first
appearance since his arrest. On
Friday, however, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said his ofce will
not be prosecuting him.
We cant nd the women and his
drunk in public doesnt really qual-
ify him as a danger to himself or
others, Wagstaffe said.
Slighton was arrested around
12:30 p.m. July 15 at the security
checkpoint of the SFO internation-
al terminal after ofcers responded
to a report of a seemingly intoxi-
cated man caus-
ing a distur-
b a n c e .
Authorities said
S l i g h t o n ,
dressed in garb
similar to offi-
cial screeners,
brought at least
two women into
a private
screening room before he was dis-
covered. The alleged victims were
not present.
Slighton was arrested and posted
$10,000 bail that night.
In past weeks, authorities tried
identifying and locating the
women but to no avail.
Slighton worked for Barclays
Capitol and Deutsche Bank in
Hong Kong before moving bank-
ing and investment firm Aktis
Hanxi Group.

Rich Del Ben Jr. s pager goes off. Theres
a sewage backup at a residents home right
off of Whipple Avenue and Highway 101.
Its the most common issue Del Ben has to
deal with sewer drains clogged due to tree
roots breaking through the terra cotta pip-
ing that line the residential streets of
Redwood City.
Some of these pipes are over 100 years
old, he said as he pulls on a pair of red clay-
colored rubber gloves. They got roots all
over them.

As students struggle to write the perfect
college admissions essay this fall, San
Mateos Elizabeth Stone hopes to help give
them an extra boost with her new book.
Stone, 54, wrote The Better College
Essay: Fitting In and Standing Out not for
students applying to college, but for their
mentors seeking help in how to best guide
them in writing a solid essay. She calls her
method for helping young writers, editing
without a pen.
Its about helping them write essays
without writing it for them, said Stone.
How do you get a student to write a better
essay without touching it? Its about talking
a student through a lot of ideas and under-
standing what their perspective is on
things.
With a Ph.D. in special education from
University of California at Berkeley, Stone
started her career as a research psychologist
and taught child and adolescent develop-
ment. Now, she is the executive director of
Campanile, a group that hosts college tours,
counseling for college admissions and test
prep services.
The book, Stones second, deals with
some of the deep-rooted reasons its hard for
teens to write a college admissions essay.
She notes the essay is really important
because its the students one chance to let
the admissions ofcer hear his or her voice.
The essay may be the dening piece if test
scores, grades, class rank, rigor of course-
work, excellent recom-
mendation letters, leader-
ship and extracurricular
activities are all similar,
she said.
Its not a grammar
exercise, she said.
Ninety-nine percent of
students need a mentor to
help them. The level of
introspection adoles-
cents have is not up to the requirements col-
leges have. Developmentally, they are not
there yet.
Stone, who has 19- and 22-year-old daugh-
ters who attend Stanford University, notes
most teens havent been able to think about
their experiences at that sophisticated of a
level. She compares the work mentors do to
therapy, in which therapists get their
patients to reect and will challenge what
patients say. Like that, she wants mentors to
help students think about what theyre writ-
ing about in a different way. She took her
own advice and found herself a mentor for
writing the book.
For me, I worked with a mentor for get-
ting my book started, she said. There was a
lot of talking about what I wanted my book
to be about. I had a wonderful teacher, Ann
Zimmerman from Stanford, who helped me
conceptualize it.
Although Stone has written more than 80
articles on higher education, this is her rst
book shes authored on her own. She co-
authored another book, but said authoring
her own book was much more personal.
It doesnt take on such a personal story
(when you co-author), she said. When
youre writing a book on your own, theres a
lot of you in the book. Theres a lot of your
own process.
The book took her about 20 months and
the biggest challenge in writing it was to
gure out what to write about. She said she
wrote everywhere and anywhere, as she trav-
els to a lot of different colleges.
When youre writing a book, your task is
to deconstruct what that problem is, she
said. Once you have that road map, dividing
the book is not very difcult.
Born in San Francisco, Stone grew up with
parents who were high school English teach-
ers.
I grew up in a household where writing
was really valued and important, she said.
Storytelling was really valued and impor-
tant and has a lot to do with my interest in
this particular eld. This is the part of the
college app that kids really struggle with and
the essay can be a real roadblock for kids
going to private colleges.
She is currently thinking of another book
to write at the moment, she said.
Stone will be speaking at San Mateo Main
Librarys Oak Room, 55 W. Third Ave. in San
Mateo from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept.
10 about the book. For more on the book, go
to campanile.us/about/the-better-college-
essay. The book is shipping out this month.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pacica man charged with trying to
kill his wife of 54 years because she was
bugging him pleaded not guilty to
attempted murder in her July 13 stabbing.
Tony Gocksue Lee, 84, returns to court
Sept. 10 to set a date for a preliminary hear-
ing to determine if hell
stand trial on that charge
along with counts of
domestic violence and
assault, according to the
District Attorneys
Ofce.
Meanwhile, he remains
in custody without bail.
Authorities say Lee stabbed his wife
seven times because he believed she no
longer loved him and was bugging him.
Pacica police responded to the couples
home after a family friend planning to visit
said Lee told them not to bother because
hed already killed his wife and planned to
die, too.
Lees 72-year-old wife was found bleeding
in the dining room and taken to a hospital
for treatment.
The couple has been married 54 years and
has no documented history of violence.
If convicted, Lee faces about a dozen years
in prison.

Water agencies ordered to enforce
statewide water restrictions
A state agency this week ordered local
water agencies to enforce mandatory
statewide water restrictions implemented
because of California's severe drought, the
California Public Utilities Commission
announced.
The CPUC is requiring local water dis-
tricts to alert customers to restrictions
adopted by the State Water Resources
Control Board within 10 days in local news-
papers and on websites and to directly noti-
fy customers by mail or email within 20
days, the CPUC said.
The mandatory restrictions adopted by the
state on July 15 include prohibiting the use
of drinking water for outdoor landscapes
causing runoff; using a hose without an
automatic shutoff nozzle to wash cars; using
drinking water to wash driveways and side-
walks; and using drinking water in a decora-
tive fountain.
The state has also limited outdoor irriga-
tion of ornamental landscapes to two days a
week. Violations of the prohibited actions
are punishable with a ne of up to $500 per
day, the CPUC said.
The local agencies must also keep track of
their progress in enforcing the mandatory
water use restrictions and report to the state
board by the 15th of each month beginning
in October, the CPUC said.
Neither mandatory reduction by the local
agencies carried any immediate penalties,
with EBMUD opting for an educational cam-
paign. The SFPUC is set to discuss possible
penalties at a meeting later this month.
In addition, Gov. Jerry Brown has asked
all Californians to make a voluntary 20 per-
cent reduction in water use but EBMUD and
the SFPUC have each only asked customers
for a 10 percent reduction.
Seven running for
Half Moon Bay council
A total of seven candidates are running for
three open seats on the Half Moon Bay City

retired teacher Don Prestosz; legislative analyst
Deborah Ruddock, a former councilwoman;
Harvey Rarback, a director for the Coastside
Fire Protection District; physician Deborah B.
Penrose; and information technology consult-
ant David C. Eblovi.
Alifano, Kowalczyk and Prestosz qualied for
the ballot Aug. 8 and the other candidates quali-
ed for the ballot Aug. 13. Half Moon Bay vot-
ers will also be deciding on Measure O, a three-
year extension of the citys half-cent sales tax
increase passed as Measure J in 2012. It needs a
majority vote to pass.
The election is Nov. 4.
Two arrested in
connection with taxi robbery
Police arrested two suspects in a Tuesday
robbery of a taxi driver in Pacica, police said
Friday.
Kren Spain, 19, of Pacica, and a 17-year-
old, who has not been identied because of his
age, were arrested on suspicion of rst-degree
robbery.
Ofcers with the Pacica Police Department
responded at 11:30 p.m. to the 400 block of
Lewis Lane on a report of a robbery, according
to the Pacica Police Department.
Police said a taxi driver had called 911 to
report he had been approached by two sus-

From the point of view of a stranger, Carla
Pantoja is just your everyday mother. After a
long day, she comes home and makes sure her
toddler takes a nap before settling down.
However, on these upcoming weekends,
Carla transforms herself into Katherina or
Kate. Sassy by nature and boisterous in her
movement, Katherina is a sight to see.
Katherina is very physical, said Pantoja.
She swaggers in the way she walks. She takes
up a room and demands attention.
Katherina is just one character that is part of a
cast that will be performing in Free Shakespeare
in the Parks mischievous comedy, The Taming
of the Shrew production this weekend and next
at Sequoia High School in Redwood City. The
show revolves around Katherinas ery and ill-
tempered personality that drives every man in
town crazy and how Petruchio, a suitor, is able
to court her despite her aws. The comedys
slapstick style blends with Shakespeares intri-
cate language and outrageous costumes, provid-
ing an entertaining and amusing experience for
all ages.
Pantojas portrayal of Katherina goes back to
her fondness of Shakespeare.
I love Shakespeare ... a lot, said Pantoja. I
specically trained in Shakespeare in school
and its great to be able to come back to such a
diverse cast of the production.
As a Mexican American, Pantoja emphasizes
how ethnic diversity plays into the upcoming
performance.
Times are changing. I am a Chicana cast as a
lead role and I dont think thats too common,
says Pantoja. The cast is just so diverse and I
think it represents the Bay Area very well.
Born and raised in Santa Clara, Pantoja lls
her time through various capacities as an inde-
pendent artist and teacher.
I love teaching new artists, said Pantoja.
Along with teaching acting, Im actually a cer-
tied stage combat teacher and in my classes we
run through so many different styles.
Whether its slapping, punching, hair
pulling, basic falling techniques and more
advanced classes like swordplay with rapiers,
broadsword and daggers, Pantoja incorporates a
talented expertise to several Bay Area theater
schools.
As far as performing Shakespeare, Pantoja
said its a sheer thrill.
This role is denitely one of my favorites in
recent memory, she said. Im especially excit-
ed because Ive been working with group with
such great chemistry. We have some real comic
geniuses on this show.
Like most Shakespearean plays, The
Taming of the Shrew will have plenty of twists
and turns that revolve around the adventurous
love story. Performances will be held for free on
Saturdays, Aug. 16 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and
Sundays, Aug. 17 and 24 at 4 p.m at Sequoia
High School. For more information go to

California porn productions
escape condom mandate
SACRAMENTO A state legislative
committee has sidetracked a bill that would
have required actors to use condoms during
adult lm productions in California.
The Senate Appropriations Committee
held AB1576 earlier this week, meaning it is
dead for the year.
The bill by Democratic Assemblyman
Isadore Hall of Los Angeles would have
required condom use in porn lms produced
anywhere in the state. It followed a condom
requirement enacted by Los Angeles County
voters in 2012.
Hall said the legislation was an effort to
protect the health of actors and reduce the
spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
In a statement, he said it was unfortunate
that lawmakers were considering expanding
a tax credit for Hollywood productions but
would not protect the health of porn work-
ers.
Pornography production represents a $6
billion-a-year industry.

A bill by state Sen. Jerry Hill banning
websites from charging individuals to
remove their mug shots was signed by the
governor Friday.
Hill, D-San Mateo, lauded the passage of
his bill to criminalize what hes described as
extortion.
These shakedowns must stop, Hill said
in a prepared statement. We are all account-
able for our own behavior, but these busi-
nesses arent about accountability their
practices amount to extortion.
The bill amending the California Civil
Code takes effect Jan. 1, 2015, and pro-
hibits the for-prot sites from soliciting or
accepting payment to
remove, correct or modify
mug shots. The bill does
not limit access to arrest
records and booking pho-
tos by the media and
other interested parties
under the California
Public Records Act.
Violations will carry up
to a $1,000 penalty.
The bill received unanimous support in
the Legislature before heading to Gov. Jerry
Browns desk.
The state Attorney Generals Ofce said
more than 930,000 Californians were
arrested in 2011 but more than half were not
convicted or had the charges dropped yet
their mug shots can remain online where
they can sully reputations and hinder
employment opportunities, according to
Hills ofce.
Prior to Hills bill, websites turned a prof-
it by charging hundreds or even thousands
of dollars to remove them.
Seven states Georgia, Illinois,
Colorado, Oregon, Texas and Utah have
passed laws restricting the practice of
charging payment for mug shot removal and
at least 11 others have introduced similar
legislation this year.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Alead FBI agent in a
sting that produced criminal charges against a
state senator and 19 other people was removed
from the case over unspecied nancial impro-
prieties, lawyers for one defendant said.
In court documents led Thursday, lawyers for
defendant Keith Jackson argued that the uniden-
tied FBI agent showed outrageous behavior
in the sting, including lavishing the probes
targets with tens of thousands of dollars for law-
ful actions.
The ling says an internal investigation
involving the undercover agent was revealed in
a footnote in a 2012 wiretap request in the cor-
ruption case. The footnote cited an FBI review
related to the nancing and nancial record-
keeping by the agent in the Chinatown sting,
the ling says.
Asecond wiretap request in 2013 revealed that
the internal FBI probe resulted in the agent
being removed from the sting operation,
according to the ling by James Brosnahan and
other defense attorneys.
No further details on the allegations were
included in the ling.
Jackson is a former San Francisco school
board president and fundraiser for state Sen.
Leland Yee, who was also charged in the FBI
investigation of alleged organized crime and
political corruption in San Franciscos
Chinatown.
The U.S. attorneys ofce in San Francisco
refused comment on the ling, which seeks
more information about the FBI agent in ques-
tion.
Federal authorities arrested Yee, Jackson and
other defendants in March.
Prosecutors charged Yee with accepting
bribes and conspiring to connect an undercover
FBI agent with an international arms dealer in
exchange for campaign contributions.
Prosecutors charged Jackson with gun-trafck-
ing and public corruption. Both have pleaded
not guilty.
Jacksons attorneys argued in their ling that
undercover FBI agents gave Jackson tens of
thousands of dollars in consulting fees and
other payments for lawful actions as part of a
wide-ranging effort to entrap him and others.

STATE 7
SAN FRANCISCO California regulators
approved a nearly $2.4 billion rate hike for
Pacic Gas and Electric Co. customers that
will see the typical customers monthly bill
increase by $7.50 starting in the fall and then
even more in 2015 and again in 2016.
The California Public Utilities Commission
voted unanimously in favor of the increase on
Thursday. It will be phased in over three years.
The money is not connected to the deadly
2010 gas pipeline explosion in the San
Francisco Bay Area, though at least some of it
is intended to fund improvements to PG&Es
natural gas pipeline network, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported. PG&E also
plans to use the money for an improved smart
grid program to upgrade the reliability of the
electricity system.
PG&E had sought about double the amount
that was approved.
Although the decision represents a signi-
cant cut in our request for additional resources
to modernize our system for the 21st century,
we will continue to make safety our top prior-
ity as we plan our work going forward, the
utilitys president, Chris Johns, said in a
release.
PG&E serves about 15 million people over
a 70,000 square mile area stretching from
Eureka to Bakerseld.
The average residential customers $129
monthly gas and electricity bill will climb
initially by $7.50, according to PG&E esti-
mates. Part of the increase is expected to go
into effect in September, with the rest follow-
ing in October.
Further increases will then follow in 2015
and 2016.
Consumer advocates said the increases
might be too much for low-income workers.
That may not seem like a lot of money to a
utility executive with a salary of a million or
more, but for low-income workers with stag-
nant wages, a few more dollars a month can be
a huge burden, said Mark Toney, executive
director of The Utility Reform Network.
Regulators approve PG&E rate hike
SACRAMENTO Californias unem-
ployment rate held steady at 7.4 percent in
July, but two surveys used to calculate the
rate showed different results, the California
Employment Development Department
reported Friday.
EDD said its survey of businesses in the
state found an increase of about 27,700
jobs. But a federal survey of households
used to calculate the unemployment rate
found 31,000 fewer jobs in July than in
June.
That leaves the state in a holding pattern,
with the same jobless rate as June, although
it improved from the 9 percent unemploy-
ment in July 2013.
Educational and health services reported
the biggest July jobs increase in the survey
of employers, adding 10,900 jobs. The
largest decline was in construction, which
reported 6,400 fewer jobs in July than a
month earlier.
Michael Bernick, a former EDD director
and a fellow at the Milken Institute econom-
ic think tank, said the two reports state of-
cials use to measure employment sometimes
conflict because they survey different
groups.
But he said a gain of about 27,000 jobs in
July is consistent with Californias share of
the national economy and reects people re-
entering the job market. The unemployment
rate does not include people who have
stopped looking for work.
State unemployment

Teen admits to
manslaughter in brothers death
RIVERSIDE Ateenager has admitted to
voluntary manslaughter in the death of his
11-year-old half brother last year.
The 17-year-old made the admission
Friday in juvenile court in Riverside County
in the death of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. ,
whose disappearance in July 2013 set off a
massive search before his remains were
found days later behind his mothers house.
Judge Timothy Freer sentenced the teen to
12 years in juvenile detention, but under the
law, he can only be held until age 23.
District attorney spokesman John Hall
says the teen was originally charged with
murder, but the case was downgraded in a
deal with prosecutors.
No details were released at the hearing
because the teen is a minor.
U.S. marshals capture
fugitive ghter War Machine
LAS VEGAS Fugitive mixed martial arts
ghter War Machine was arrested Friday in
California on suspicion of beating his ex-girl-
friend so severely in Las Vegas that she feared
for her life.
The 32-year-old ghter and former porn
actor, whose birth name is Jon Koppenhaver,
was captured in the Los Angeles suburb of Simi
Valley.
Authorities issued a warrant for Koppenhaver
on Monday, the same day his ex-girlfriend,
adult lm actress Christy Mack, posted graphic
photos of her swollen, beaten face online.
Mack said in a statement that Koppenhaver
showed up unannounced at her house on Aug. 8,
found her and a friend unarmed, and beat the
friend without uttering a word.
Koppenhaver then sent the friend away and
turned to Mack, forcing her to shower before
knocking out some of her teeth and breaking
bones in her face, the statement said.

AUSTIN, Texas Agrand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick
Perry on Friday for allegedly abusing the powers of his
ofce by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state pros-
ecutors investigating public corruption making the pos-
sible 2016 presidential hopeful his states rst indicted
governor in nearly a century.
Aspecial prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and
presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he prom-
ised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the pub-
lic integrity unit run by the ofce of
Travis County Democratic District
Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Lehmberg
was convicted of drunken driving, but
refused Perrys calls to resign.
Perrys general counsel, Marry Anne
Wiley, defended the governors action.
The veto in question was made in
accordance with the veto authority afford-
ed to every governor under the Texas
Constitution, she said. We will contin-
ue to aggressively defend the governors lawful and consti-
tutional action, and believe we will ultimately prevail.
The unit Lehmberg oversees is the same that led the inves-
tigation against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom
DeLay, a Texas Republican who in 2010 was convicted of
money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laun-
dering for taking part in a scheme to inuence elections in
his home state.
Several top aides to the Republican governor appeared
before grand jurors in Austin, including his deputy chief of
staff, legislative director and general counsel. Perry himself
did not testify, though.
Perry was indicted on charges of abuse of ofcial capacity,
a rst-degree felony with potential punishments of ve to
99 years in prison, and coercion of a public servant, a third-
degree felony that carries a punishment of two to 10 years.
No one disputes that Perry is allowed to veto measures
approved by the Legislature, including part or all of the
state budget. But the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice
government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint
accusing the governor of coercion because he threatened to
use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to pres-
sure Lehmberg to quit.
Were pleased that the grand jury determined that the gov-
ernors bullying crossed the line into illegal behavior, said
Craig McDonald, executive director of Texans for Public
Justice. The complaint had merit, serious laws were poten-
tially broken.
Michael McCrum, the San Antonio-based special prosecu-
tor said he took into account the fact that were talking
about a governor of a state and a governor of the state of
Texas, which we all love.
Obviously that carries a lot of importance, McCrum
said. But when it gets down to it, the law is the law.
In ofce since 2000 and already the longest-serving gov-
ernor in Texas history, Perry isnt seeking re-election in
November. But the criminal investigation could mar his
political prospects as he mulls another run at the White
House, after his 2012 presidential bid amed out.
McCrum said hell meet with Perrys attorney Monday to
discuss when he will come to the courthouse to be arraigned.
McCrum said he doesnt know when Perry will be booked.
Asked why McCrum never spoke to Perry personally,
McCrum said, Thats prosecutorial discretion that I had.
The public integrity unit investigates statewide allega-
tions of corruption and political wrongdoing. Perry said he
wouldnt allow Texas to fund the unit while Lehmberg
remained in charge.
Perry said Lehmberg, who is based in Austin, should
resign after she was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken
driving in April 2013. A video recording made at the jail
showed Lehmberg shouting at staffers to call the sheriff,
kicking the door of her cell and sticking her tongue out.
Lehmberg faced pressure from other high-profile
Republicans in addition to Perry to give up her post. Her
blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit
for driving.
Lehmberg served about half of her 45-day jail sentence but
stayed in ofce, despite Perrys assertions that her behavior
was inappropriate.
The jail video led to an investigation of Lehmberg by a
separate grand jury, which decided she should not be
removed for ofcial misconduct.
The indictment is the rst of its kind since 1917, when
James Pa Ferguson was indicted on charges stemming
from his veto of state funding to the University of Texas in
an effort to unseat faculty and staff members he objected to.
Ferguson was eventually impeached, then resigned before
being convicted, allowing his wife, Miriam Ma Ferguson,
to take over the governorship.

Rick Perry
FERGUSON, Mo. Police on Friday identied the of-
cer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager and
released documents alleging the young man had been sus-
pected of stealing a $48.99 box of cigars from a conven-
ience store in a strong-arm robbery shortly before he
was killed.
Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the ofcer did not
know the teen was a robbery suspect at the time of the
shooting and stopped Michael Brown and a companion
because they were walking down the middle of the street
blocking trafc.
Darren Wilson, a 28-year-old white ofcer, has patrolled
suburban St. Louis for six years and had no previous com-
plaints led against him, Jackson said.
Browns relatives said no robbery would justify shoot-
ing the teen after he put his hands up. Family attorneys
said Browns parents were blindsided by the allegations
and the release of a surveillance video from the conven-
ience store.
It appears to be him, attorney Daryl Parks said, refer-
ring to the footage, which he said was released without any
advance notice from police.
The police chief described Wilson as a gentle, quiet
man who had been an excellent ofcer. He has been on
the Ferguson force for four years and served prior to that in
the neighboring community of Jennings.
Wilson, who was placed on administrative leave after
the Aug. 9 shooting, never intended for any of this to
happen, Jackson said.
According to police reports released Friday, authorities
received a 911 call at 11:51 a.m. on the day of the shoot-
ing reporting a robbery at the Ferguson Market. An
unidentied ofcer was dispatched to the store, arriving
within three minutes. The ofcer interviewed an employee
and customer, who gave a description of a man who stole
the cigars and walked off with another man toward a
QuikTrip store.
Descriptions of the suspect were broadcast over the
police radio. The ofcer did not nd the suspects either on
the street or at the QuikTrip, the reports said.
The robber took a box of Swisher Sweets, a brand of
small, inexpensive cigars. The suspects were identied as
18-year-old Michael Brown and 22-year-old Dorian
Johnson, according to the reports.
Separately, Wilson had been responding to a nearby call
involving a sick 2-month child from 11:48 am until noon,
when he left that place. A minute later, he encountered
Michael Brown walking down Caneld Drive. The docu-
ments contained no description of what happened between
Brown and Wilson.
Johnson has told reporters that the ofcer ordered him
and Brown onto the sidewalk, then grabbed his friends
neck and tried to pull him into the car before brandishing
his weapon and ring. He said Brown started to run and the
ofcer pursued him, ring multiple times.
Another family attorney, Benjamin Crump, noted that
police did not release a photo of the ofcer but released
images from the stores security video that they say show
Brown grabbing a man inside the store. Crump said he had
not seen the photos.
Police are choosing to disseminate information that is
very strategic to try to help them justify the execution-
style killing, said Crump, who also represented the fami-
ly of Trayvon Martin, the teenager fatally shot by a
Florida neighborhood watch organizer who was later
acquitted of murder.

Gov. Jerry Brown extends tax
credit to Northrop Grumman
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legisla-
tion that extends a $420 million state tax credit to aero-
space giant Northrop Grumman Corp. after approving a
similar deal for its competitor, Lockheed Martin Corp.
Browns ofce announced Friday that he signed SB718
by Sens. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, and Sen. Stephen
Knight, R-Palmdale. It expands an aerospace tax credit
that lawmakers approved in July for Lockheed Martin so it
also applies to Northrop Grumman.
Both companies have facilities near Palmdale and are
bidding for a $55 billion Pentagon stealth bomber con-
tract.
Northrop Grumman said it would create 1,500 new jobs
in Palmdale under the massive bomber contract, even
without a tax subsidy. But the company objected to the tax
credit being originally offered to only one bidder, saying
the Legislature put Northrop Grumman at a disadvantage.
Lawmakers last month approved the initial tax credit, at
the request of Browns ofce, to benet a joint bid being
submitted by Lockheed and Boeing Co. The governor
signed the fast-tracked AB2389 into law after his ofce
assured Northrop Grumman that it would receive a similar
deal.
That bill also included tax credits intended to lure a $5
billion Tesla battery manufacturing plant to California,
although the Brown administration has refused to specify
what precisely it gives to Tesla.
SB718 sailed through the Legislature this week with a
73-0 Assembly vote Monday and 32-4 Senate vote
Wednesday.
This is a victory for fairness, the aerospace industry
and all Californians, Northrop spokesman Tim Paynter
said in an email.
Only one of the companies would be eligible for the tax
credit if it is awarded the contract and decides to build its
facility in California.

OPINION 9
Standing up for Democrats
Editor,
I learned a valuable lesson while reading
Mike Browns letter Democrats No
Border policy in the Aug. 14 edition of
the Daily Journal. The lesson is only
drink your coffee while you are in be-
tween letters. When I got to the last line
of the letter, ... its not right and sends
the message that Democrats selectively
follow laws they want and disregard oth-
ers. I nearly choked and spilled my
coffee over myself and the paper.
Obviously, Brown is not a fan of po-
litical history or he would know that
any trickery and deceit practiced by
the Democrats was learned from the
Republicans. Truth, ethics and hon-
esty are words that have long been
banished from the GOP dictionary.
Do as I say, not as I do is their
motto and hypocrisy is the Republi-
can standard.

A lesson from history
Editor,
The courage and nobility of King Al-
bert I of Belgium in standing up
against the German invasion of neutral
Belgium 100 years ago from this
month was not enough to stop the en-
suing carnage of World War II.
Nevertheless, Albert Is epic stand for
honesty and truth among nations is
one of the denitive examples over the
past century of true and unpretentious
leadership. Today, in memory of King
Albert I, faithful and good-hearted peo-
ple everywhere can stand a little
straighter and stand a little taller know-
ing that nothing is more important or
lasting than principle and valor.

Bad sports
Editor,
I heard a report on KCBS radio re-
cently about how college athletes are
banding together to form a union and
demand payment for competing in col-
lege athletics. This is ridiculous. Many
of these guys are lucky they are even in
a four-year college. In my opinion, just
saying that you graduated from most of
these schools, like Stanford and Berke-
ley, opens doors for people in society.
These schools recruit most of these
players and have the programs they do
as a way to gain needed funding for
other necessities at the school.
It reminds me of our government em-
ployees who retire at the age of 54 and
draw their regular pay as a pension for
the rest of their lives.
So if these college athletes want a rule
that says they are paid for part of the
prots made at these sporting events, I
would tell them to end the rule that says
they can leave college their sophomore
year and enter the pro leagues where they
are guaranteed at least $200,000 a year.
When this happens, the compensation to
the college is nothing, but rather a loss.

Millbrae, get your act together
Editor,
I received a letter from Millbrae regard-
ing tree trimming. Anumber of other
residents near Hillcrest received this no-
tice on Aug. 11. The letter was unspecic
regarding which tree was to be trimmed.
My parents immediately the next day
went to City Hall to inquire about the
specic tree that needed trimming. The
woman that assisted them gave very
vague information and told them a permit
would arrive in the mail 10 days later.
Did I mention the deadline to trim your
tree was Aug. 22?
My mother told the woman that there
wasnt one day was not enough time to
trim the tree. We were assured that the
deadline wouldnt be enforced. We still
do not know which tree needs trim-
ming, not a single person was at the
Public Works counter.
I believe situations like this could be
handled much better.

The Daily News, Bowling Green, Kentucky
I
ts no secret our southern border
is in chaos with all of the illegal
immigrants coming into this
country and not nearly enough is
being done about it.
President Barack Obama has done
nothing but turn a blind eye to the sit-
uation. Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., said with a straight face
that our southern border is secure. The
only person who has shown any type
of leadership on the issue is Texas
Gov. Rick Perry, who has sent 1,000
National Guard troops to the border.
Individuals are subject to arrest,
prosecution and jail time when they
commit crimes while being in our
country illegally.
Some serve their time before theyre
deported and pay a minimal ne.
Others just vanish into the population
only to defy our laws once again.
Once these lawbreakers serve time,
they cause a major problem by com-
ing back illegally again. Some
commit violent crimes when they
return.
The latest such example involves
the murder of a U.S. border agent in
Texas. Two illegal immigrants,
Gustavo Tijerina, 30, and Ismael
Hernandez, 40, are charged with the
rst-degree murder of border patrol
agent Javier Vega Jr.
They have confessed to killing
Vega, who was off duty when he was
murdered by these two thugs.
The fact Vega was murdered by these
men is a tragedy, but the fact they
showed no mercy in killing him in
front of his family shows what ruth-
less, uncaring people they are.
They wouldnt have been here to kill
Vega if this country had secure borders
as Reid attests.
What is so outrageous about this
case, besides the murder of a U.S.
citizen, is the fact that they both
men have extensive records of being
deported and again illegally enter-
ing our country.
Tijerina has been jailed and deported
on four separate occasions dating back
to 2007 prior to this murder. The rst
three times he was in jail, he paid a
$10 ne for breaking our laws. On
Dec. 15, 2009, Tijerina was indicted
by a grand jury on charges of entering
the U.S. illegally yet again by cross-
ing the Rio Grande River.
Is something wrong with this pic-
ture?
Hernandez had been deported twice.
It is quite clear these two men have
no respect for our laws or human life.
Those who respect our laws and want
to come to this country to reside dont
tunnel their way in, jump fences or use
whatever means they can. They go
through the proper legal channels to
enter our country.
The U.S. public still hasnt received
adequate answers on that tragedy from
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
Obama, Holder and Reid obviously
dont care what is occurring on our
southern border. Their inaction is
proof of that.

IDEA and progress
By Herb Perez
P
rohibition in the United States was a nation-
wide constitutional ban on the sale, produc-
tion, importation and transportation of alco-
holic beverages that remained in place from 1920 to
1933. Though popular opinion believes Prohibition
failed, it succeeded in cutting overall alcohol con-
sumption in half during the 1920s.
Today, we allow individuals to
drink, but legislate the age, place
and operation of vehicles by those
who do to protect those who dont .
Nonetheless, we allow drinkers to
drink at their election often to
excess in spite of the known detri-
mental effect it has on their individ-
ual health and welfare.
To me, the lessons of history are
relevant and in large part analogous to the recent dis-
cussions in Foster City that have taken place as we
moved forward in developing a smoking ordinance.
Theres no surprise that a wholesale prohibition of
the sale and use of tobacco products my primary
and personal preference in approach was complex
and fraught with competing interests. Sadly, a whole-
sale approach was not the desire of the City Council
and as such over the months of discussion and debate
raised conflicting civic and personal policy consider-
ations for the council to address.
When I am teaching or attempting to master a new
skill, I find it good practice to break the subject mat-
ter down into manageable parts. As an educator,
coach and athlete, I have come to employ the con-
cepts of the acronym, IDEA: Identify, Demonstrate,
Explain and Apply. As a councilman, I have come to
employ the same in the analysis of equally challeng-
ing policy questions, of which most recently applied
to the adoption of new non-smoking regulations:
For me, the priority was addressing the primary
concern of protecting the impacts of secondhand
smoke on the unsuspecting general public at large.
To me, that means the areas which have the greatest
numbers of people residents or visitors on any
given day where the individual has no other choice
than to be subjected to its ill effects. Certain public
spaces have prohibited smoking for some time.
Under the latest incarnation of Foster Citys ordi-
nance, these protections will be extended to public
streets, parks and entryways to all buildings both
public and commercial. This is consistent with try-
ing to protect non-smokers from the perils of sec-
ondhand smoke.
In the case of residential properties, those that are
private (single detached) residences, remain outside
the scope of the ordinance.
Quasi-public is defined as essentially public
although under private ownership or control and
includes everything from a shopping center to com-
mon interest developments (which includes home-
owners associations as well as apartments) through
to commercial buildings and their sidewalks and pas-
sage ways. These are all privately owned yet have in
large part their own covenants, conditions and
restrictions of use.
The current ordinance has been expanded so it pro-
hibits smoking in the common areas, for example,
sidewalks and entryways, but the question remains
should owners of quasi-public property be allowed to
designate smoking areas and if so, to what avail?
Should the smoking area(s) be enclosed where the
public is protected but where we know the individual
is at even greater risk, should areas where the public
have been given access as a courtesy now be restrict-
ed, etc.
The mix and treatment of what falls in under this
category presents unique challenges and requires a
customized approach for each. There is no doubt that
we need to provide ample protection to those who
reside in our buildings, as they would have none
other than what we offer. Significant further outreach
and education is required to study how best to address
the challenges associated with progressing even fur-
ther with our ordinance. So please, speak up. These
topics will be the subject of several upcoming meet-
i ngs. We will be treating each of these environments
separately, taking each of these topics and providing
them with individual policy analysis so we may craft
a comprehensive smoking policy that prevents the
public from being unduly subjected to secondhand
smoke.

NEWYORK Renewed ghting in
Ukraine rattled markets on Friday.
Reports that Ukrainian forces attacked
Russian military vehicles that had
crossed the border knocked stock mar-
kets down in the afternoon and sent
traders into the safety of U.S. govern-
ment bonds.
By the end of the day, the Standard &
Poors 500 index was back to where it
started as investors realized that a
wider conict wasnt underway.
John Canally, the chief economic
strategist at LPL Financial, said its
understandable that traders dropped
stocks in response to the flare-up.
Anyone who doesnt want to lose
their job over the weekend sells rst
and asks questions later, he said.
Canally suspects the dispute
between Russia and Ukraine will likely
follow the pattern of recent months.
Worrying headlines will be followed
by soothing speeches. Weve been
here before, he said.
The S&P 500 index fell 0.12 of a
point to 1,955.06. It ended the week
with a gain of 1.2 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 50.67, or 0.3 percent, to
16,662.91, while the Nasdaq compos-
ite gained 11.93 points, or 0.3 per-
cent, to 4,464.93
Mark Luschini, chief investment
strategist at Janney Montgomery
Scott, said that one reason world
events seem to be driving trading
recently is that theres a lack of any-
thing else for traders to focus on. All
but a handful of big companies have
turned in second-quarter results
already, and no major economic
reports came out this week.
For the moment, geopolitical
events seem to hold the interest of the
few people at their desks in mid-
August, Luschini said.
The news crossed at mid-morning
Eastern time that a column of Russian
armored carriers had crossed into
Ukraine late Thursday. Ukraine
claimed that its artillery re destroyed
most of the vehicles, but Russia denied
that it happened.
The reports upended major European
markets, turning gains into losses.
Germanys DAX dropped 1.4 percent,
after climbing 1.1 percent earlier.
Frances CAC 40 lost 0.7 percent.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note plunged as low as 2.30 percent,
the lowest since June 2013, as traders
seeking safety shifted money into
U.S. government bonds. In late after-
noon trading the yield climbed back to
2.34 percent, still down from 2.40
percent late Thursday.
Among companies in the news,
Monster Beverage soared 30 percent
after Coca-Cola announced plans to
pay $2 billion for a stake in the maker
of caffeinated drinks. The deal comes
as Coca-Colas agship soda business
is agging and energy drinks have
become popular. Monster jumped
$21.84 to $93.49.
Supervalu, a grocery store chain,
said hackers gained access to its com-
puter network for handling credit-card
transactions. The company said it
isnt sure yet if customers account
numbers and other information were
stolen. Supervalu fell 28 cents, or 3
percent, to $9.31.
After the market closed Wednesday,
Nordstrom reported a slight drop in
earnings as well as sales that fell just
short of analysts estimates. The
department-stores stock slid $3.58,
or 5 percent, to $65.11.
In commodities trading, Benchmark
U.S. crude oil rose $1.77 to $97.35 a
barrel.
The price of gold fell $9.50 to
$1,306.20 an ounce. Silver fell four
cents to close at $19.53 an ounce and
copper edged up a penny to $3.10 a
pound.

Big movers

ROYAL OAK, Mich. Your next
commuter car could have two seats,
three wheels and get 84 miles to the
gallon.
Elio Motors wants to revolution-
ize U.S. roads with its tiny car,
which is the same length as a Honda
Fit but half the weight. With a start-
ing price of $6,800, its also less
than half the cost.
Phoenix-based Elio plans to start
making the cars next fall at a former
General Motors plant in
Shreveport, Louisiana. Already,
more than 27,000 people have
reserved one. Elio hopes to make
250,000 cars a year by 2016. Thats
close to the number Mazda sells in
the U.S.
Because it has three wheels two
in front and one in the rear the
Elio is actually classied as a motor-
cycle by the U.S. government. But
Elio Motors founder Paul Elio says
the vehicle has all the safety features
of a car, like anti-lock brakes, front
and side air bags and a steel cage that
surrounds the occupants. Drivers
wont be required to wear helmets or
have motorcycle licenses.
The Elios two seats sit front and
back instead of side by side, so the
driver is positioned in the center
with the passenger directly behind.
That arrangement, plus the low seat-
ing position the Elio is just 54
inches tall and the lack of power
steering take a little getting used to.
But after a couple of spins around
the block in this Detroit suburb, it
felt like any other small car. Thats
partly because its two front wheels
stick out by a foot on both sides,
aiding balance and preventing the
vehicle from tipping. The Elio has a
three-cylinder, 0.9-liter engine and
a top speed of more than 100 miles
per hour. It gets an estimated 84
mpg on the highway and 49 mpg in
city driving.
Elio keeps the costs down in sev-
eral ways. The car only has one
door, on the left side, which shaves
a few hundred dollars off the manu-
facturing costs. Having three
wheels also makes it cheaper. It will
be offered in just two congurations
with a manual or automatic trans-
mission and it has standard air
conditioning, power windows and
door locks and an AM/FM radio.
More features, such as navigation or
blind-spot detection, can be ordered
through Elios long list of suppli-
ers.
Three-wheeled Elio
closer to going on sale

NEWYORK After more than a
year of public criticism of its treat-
ment of killer whales, SeaWorld
said Friday that it will build new,
larger environments at its theme
parks and will fund additional
research on the animals along with
programs to protect ocean health
and whales in the wild.
The Orlando, Florida, company
said the renovations have been in
the works for some time and that
they are not a response to the doc-
umentary Blacksh or the criti-
cism of the company that followed
the release of the lm.
The companys shares, which are
trading near their lowest point
since SeaWorld listed its stock on
public markets last year, rose
Friday. But it remains to be seen if
the renovations will fully address
concerns about keeping large
marine mammals in captivity.
The 2013 documentary
Blacksh suggested that captivi-
ty and SeaWorlds treatment of the
whales provoke violent behavior,
which in turn has led to the death of
trainers. Since the release of the
lm, a series of entertainers have
pulled out of planned performances
at SeaWorld parks. SeaWorld also
recently said its longtime corpo-
rate partnership with Southwest
Airlines is ending, and on
Wednesday the company reported
disappointing second-quarter
financial results because of the
backlash.
SeaWorld Entertainment Inc.
says it will build a tank with 10
million gallons of water at its San
Diego park, almost twice the size
of the current tank with a depth of
up to 50 feet. The new environ-
ment will be called the Blue World
Project, and SeaWorld said it will
include features that will be more
stimulating for the whales. Those
include a fast water current that
will allow the whales to swim
against moving water.
The facility will open to the pub-
lic in 2018, and after that SeaWorld
will make similar changes at its
Orlando, Florida and San Antonio
locations.
The company said the cost of the
project will be in the hundreds of
millions of dollars but would not
specify the exact budget.
The company is also pledging
$10 million in matching funds to
support research focused on threats
to killer whales, or orcas, in the
wild. It also announced a $1.5 mil-
lion commitment to a partnership
focused on ocean health.
SeaWorld plans for bigger
killer whale environments
Gore sues Al Jazeera
America for unpaid millions
LOS ANGELES Former Vice
President Al Gore is suing Al
Jazeera America, saying the news
network is withholding tens of
millions of dollars that it owes for
buying Current
TV from him
and other share-
holders for
$500 million
last year.
David Boies,
Gores attor-
ney, said in a
statement that
Al Jazeera
America wants to give itself a dis-
count on the purchase price that
was agreed to nearly two years
ago. He said the suit was led in
Delaware Court of Chancery on
Friday.
Al Jazeera America did not
immediately respond to a request
for comment.
The Qatar-owned news channel
took over Current TVs signal last
August and hired a slew of U.S. TV
news veterans like Soledad
OBrien and John Seigenthaler. It
is available in nearly 60 million
U.S. homes.
Money laundering charge
added to FedEx drug case
SAN FRANCISCO Federal
prosecutors say several addicts
died soon after receiving ship-
ments of illegal prescription drugs
sent by FedEx.
The deaths were included in a
new indictment led late Thursday
against FedEx that adds money
laundering to a list of charges the
company is facing over allega-
tions it knowingly shipped illegal
prescription drugs from two
online pharmacies.
The Memphis, Tennessee-based
shipping giant is not charged with
any of the deaths.
The three money laundering
charges allege the online pharma-
cies paid their FedEx bills with
money obtained illegally.
FedEx Corp. already was facing
15 conspiracy and drug charges
that were led last month. It denies
the charges and any wrongdoing
and vows to ght the case in court.
Redlands to be home of

SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner
turned in a strong pitching performance at
home for the rst time in a while, and the San
Francisco Giants still found a way to lose.
Chase Utley was hit by a pitch from Javier
Lopez with the bases loaded in the top of the
10th inning to help the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the Giants 5-3 on Friday night.
The game turned when the usually reliable
San Francisco bullpen took over for
Bumgarner, who threw seven strong innings
for his rst quality start at
home since June 10, a
span of seven games. He
allowed one run and four
hits, striking out nine
without a walk.
Theres no question
this is disheartening,
Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. Bumgarner
pitched a great game, but
we couldnt get another run in.
Cody Asche, who doubled off Santiago
Casilla (1-3) to open the 10th, hit a two-run
homer in the eighth to tie it. It was the rst
home run allowed by Jeremy Affeldt this sea-
son.
Ken Giles (2-0) pitched two scoreless
innings for the win. Jonathan Papelbon
worked the 10th for his 28th save in 31
chances.
Bumgarner retired the rst 10 hitters he
faced, ve on strikeouts, before allowing
back-to-back hits by Jimmy Rollins and
Utley.
We keep saying we have to grind it out
and go get them tomorrow, Bumgarner said.
But thats all we can really do. We have to
get hot and nish strong.
The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the fourth
when Michael Morse hit his rst home run in
August, a three-run shot that carried over the
fence in left eld.
Those were some good at-bats from
Morse, Bochy said. We havent seen a lot
of that.
Pablo Sandoval had three hits, but the
Giants lost their sixth in seven games.

COURTESY OF GOLDENBEARSPORTS
Stefano Bonomo was one of Cals leading scorers a year ago as the team advanced to the
Elite 8 for the third time in program history.This season, the former Burlingame star looks to
guide the No. 7-ranked Golden Bears to another NCAA Tournament run.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
One season ago, Cal mens soccer was on the
verge of making program history.
Golden Bears midelder Stefano Bonomo
scored a dramatic game-tying goal in the 50th
minute of Cals NCAA Tournament Elite 8
matchup with the University of Maryland. As
the Bears gained momentum in the second half,
the dream of reaching the programs rst ever
College Cup nal four seemed within reach.
Then in the 86th minute, Maryland dashed
the dream. Terrapins freshman Michael Sauers
booted a tiebreaking goal from 25 feet out. Cal
fell 2-1. Maryland went on to win the national
championship. And like the Bears other two
all-time appearances in the Elite 8, they
advanced no further.
We played an outstanding game, Cal head
coach Kevin Grimes said. We really had
Maryland on their back foot most of the second
half and had a number of chances to get the sec-
ond goal to hopefully get the victory. And
they kind of sucker punched us and scored.
Cal enters the 2014 season ranked No. 7 in
the nation in the NCAA preseason poll. The
Bears are poised to again contend for a historic
run in the postseason, but they are in the midst
of reinventing themselves in hopes of doing so.
Bonomo is central to that reinvention.
Entering into his senior season, the former
Burlingame star is coming off a junior cam-
paign in which his 15 points and six goals
each ranked third on the team in scoring after
defender Steve Birnbaum (21 points, 10 goals)
and Alec Sundly (20 points, nine goals). Cal
scored 38 goals as a team overall.
Birnbaum and Sundly were two of four Cal

More than six decades after Kathryn Tubby
Johnston Massar cut off her braids, tucked her
hair under her cap and became the rst girl to

see two girls in the Little League World Series.
Its truly amazing. Im very happy to see
girls playing, said Massar, 78, of Yuba City,
California.
Philadelphias Mone Davis and Canadas
Emma March became the 17th and 18th girls to
play in the tournament
Friday. It is only the third
time in the events 68-year
history that two girls are
playing in the same series.
Davis threw a two-hitter
to help Philadelphia beat
Nashville 4-0. She had
eight strikeouts and didnt
walk a batter.
Davis, who received a
noticeably louder reception than any other
player during introductions, said she noticed
plenty of girls younger than her in the audi-
ence. The applause heightened signicantly
when Davis struck out the nal batter, becom-
ing the rst girl to throw a shutout in Little
League World Series history.
Its very unreal. I never thought at the age of
13 I would be a role model, Davis said.
Hopefully, more girls play Little League.
March did not fare as well.
Batting cleanup ahead of her brother Evan
and playing rst base, she went hitless
Friday in Canadas 4-3 loss to Mexico.
But March created some excitement when she
stepped into the batters box for the Vancouver,
British Columbia, team.
She drove a long y ball to right eld in the
fourth inning that the crowd thought might be
a home run. However, the hit sailed foul into
the stands. Then in the top of the fth, March
stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and

OAKLAND Matthew Stafford and
Detroits passing game looked in midseason
form even with star Calvin Johnson on the
sideline watching.
Stafford threw touch-
down passes on his rst
two drives of the game for
Detroit before Matt
McGloin threw a 19-yard
TD pass to Brice Butler
with 6 seconds to go to
give the Oakland Raiders
a 27-26 win over the
Lions in an exhibition
game Friday night.
McGloin came in after backup Derek Carr
left with injured ribs earlier in the fourth quar-
ter and led the game-winning 68-yard drive.
The victory wasnt complete until Sebastian
Janikowski kicked the 33-yard extra point.
That couldnt overshadow a sharp perform-
ance from Stafford, who connected on a 28-
yard pass to Golden Tate on Detroits second
play from scrimmage and a 4-yard score to
Kris Durham on the second drive.
The Lions rst-team offense looked sharp
even with Johnson held out of his second
straight preseason game.
Matt Schaub threw a deected interception
on his rst drive and Oaklands rst-team
defense struggled early. But Carr provided a
spark before McGloin got the win.
Schaub started well in his rst home game
with the Raiders, converting a pair of third
downs before his throw to James Jones in

LOS ANGELES Jay Adams, the colorful
rebel who helped transform skateboarding
from a simple street pastime into one of the
worlds most spectacular sports with hair-
raising stunts and an outsized personality to
match, has died at age 53.
Adams died of a heart attack Thursday dur-
ing a surng vacation in Mexico with his
wife and friends, his manager, Susan Ferris
said Friday.
With his flowing, sun-bleached hair,
explosive skating style and ebullient per-
sonality, Adams became one of the sports
most iconic figures during the years it
moved from empty backyard swimming
pools to international competition.
He was like the original viral spore that
created skateboarding, fellow skateboarder
and documentary lmmaker Stacy Peralta
told The Associated Press on Friday. He
was it.
But at the height of his fame in the early
1980s, Adams was convicted of felony
assault, launching a string of prison stints
over the next 24 years.
The member of the Skateboarding Hall of
Fame, who had proudly been clean and sober
for the past several years, blamed his trou-
bles in part on the sports early years, when
seemingly any outrageous behavior was
tolerated.
We were wild and acting crazy and not
being very positive role models, he told
The New York Times shortly after being
released from prison for the last time in
2008.
He had rocketed to fame while still a
teenager as a founding member of the
Zephyr Skate Team, a group of surfers turned
skateboarders who came together in a run-
down, dicey neighborhood known as
Dogtown that straddles Los Angeles Venice
Beach and the city of Santa Monica.
Peralta, another member, would memori-
alize the group in his 2001 documentary
Dogtown and Z-Boys.
Watching him when he was 14, 15, 16
was pure entertainment, the filmmaker
recalled Friday. It was like watching energy
itself evolve. You never knew what he was
going to do, and no matter how great he was
at something, he never repeated it.
Although he wasnt technically the best
skater out there, Peralta said, Adams inu-
ence on the sport was as great as that of X
Games gold medalist Tony Hawk.
Adams never became quite the household
name Hawk is, perhaps in part because of
his repeated brushes with the law.
When Dogtown and Z Boys premiered
in 2001, he was in jail again, this time
doing time on a drug charge.
About the time the 2005 feature film
Lords of Dogtown would hit theaters,
Adams, who was played by actor Emile
Hirsch, was being busted for drugs again.
Upon his release, he vowed to stay out of
trouble and he did.
Peralta said he last saw Adams at a dinner
gathering about six weeks ago.
He was the rst person to show up at the
dinner table, which was remarkable, and he
was drinking hot tea, which was even more
remarkable, he said. He had really turned a
corner.
Adams is survived by his wife, Tracy, and
two children.

SANTACLARA 49ers quarter-
back Colin Kaepernick isnt like-
ly to play more than a series or
two when San Francisco plays its
rst preseason game at newly n-
ished Levis Stadium.
Kaepernick completed his only
pass and led San Francisco to a
eld goal in his only series of
work in last weeks 23-3 loss to
the Baltimore Ravens.
Backups Blaine Gabbert and
Josh Johnson split the majority
of playing time the rest of the
way. McLeod Bethel-Thompson
mopped up in the fourth quarter.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said the
plan will be the same when the
49ers host the Denver Broncos on
Sunday.
Its going to be the same plan
going into this game, Harbaugh
said Friday. I cant just say the
starters are playing this amount or
the starters on defense are playing
this amount or certain backups are
playing this amount. Its more
individualized to each player, each
position.
Teams generally play their
starters longer each week through
the first three preseason games
then back off in the fourth game.
With his team having practiced
with the Ravens
in the days lead-
ing up to the
p r e s e a s o n
o p e n e r ,
Harbaugh isnt
as pressed to
play his starters
as he might
have been.
That means
Gabbert and
Johnson will get extended looks
as they continue their competition
for the backup job.
The 10th overall pick in 2011,
Gabbert is listed ahead of Johnson
on the depth chart, but is coming
off a rough debut with the 49ers.
He completed only 3 of 11 passes
for 20 yards. He was also inter-
cepted once, drawing criticism
from the media and fans.
Johnson completed 6 of 8 for 63
yards.
Harbaugh, however, insisted he
likes the progress being made by
Gabbert, who was traded to the
49ers in the offseason after three
injury-filled seasons with the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was a good first step,
Harbaugh said. Hes continuing
to compete well. I feel good with
the way hes coming along.
Still, Harbaugh stopped short of
saying the backup job is Gabberts
to lose.
Theres a lot of jobs up for
grabs, he said. Nothings set in
stone. Im very pleased with the
job Blaine Gabberts doing.
Johnson, a fth-round draft pick
by Tampa Bay in 2008 played at
Stanford when Harbaugh coached
the Cardinal.
One player who wont be play-
ing at all is running back Marcus
Lattimore. The 2013 fourth-round
draft pick has been making
gains according to Harbaugh, but
remains on the teams non-foot-
ball injury list.
Lattimore spent his rookie sea-
son on injured reserve after tearing
three major ligaments in his left
knee in October 2012. He was
expected to compete for a backup
job behind Frank Gore, but
strained a hamstring during offsea-
son workouts.
Hes doing well, Harbaugh
said. Theres been gains. Thats
where were at. Not quite there yet.
Hes making gains every day.
Note: Harbaugh took part in an
ice-bucket challenge to raise
money and awareness for ALS
research after being called out by
his brother, Ravens coach John
Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh, in turn,
issued the challenge to President
Barack Obama and former
President George W. Bush.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom
Brady and the New England
Patriots other two quarterbacks
each threw touchdown passes.
The Philadelphia Eagles trio
was plagued by turnovers.
Bradys scoring pass came after he
threw an interception that Cory
Williams returned 77 yards for a
touchdown and the Patriots rebound-
ed from a poor preseason debut for a
42-35 win on Friday night.
Bradys backups also were sharp
in their competition for the No. 2
quarterback job with rookie
Jimmy Garoppolo throwing two
touchdown passes and Ryan
Mallett passing for a score and
running for another.
The Eagles rarely had the ball
early. And when they got it later,
they kept giving it away.
New England had two offensive
series before the Eagles had even
one since the Patriots rst ended
with Williams interception.
Brady threw the ball to Steve
Maneri, but the tight end who had
signed ve days earlier didnt turn
around.
Williams hurt his hamstring on
the play and did-
nt return.
The Patriots
tied it on their
next posses-
sion on a 15-
yard touchdown
pass to Kenbrell
T h o mp k i n s ,
ending Bradys
night after com-
pleting 8 of 10 passes for 81 yards
in two series.
Then Philadelphias turnovers
began.
Ifeanyi Momah lost a fumble
after catching Nick Foles pass on
their first offensive play. Mark
Sanchez threw an interception on
his second play of the third quarter
and Momah lost another fumble
midway through the third quarter
after a reception on quarterback
Matt Barkleys rst play.
And on the second play of
Barkleys next series, his pass was
picked off by Nate Ebner.
Add Alex Henerys missed 47-yard
eld-goal attempt and a bunch of
defensive penalties and coach Chip
Kelly had plenty of mistakes to
point out after a sloppy perform-
ance that followed three days of
joint practices with the Patriots.
Brady sharp for Patriots
to win preseason opener

ATLANTA Jason Hammel seemed to be
gaining momentum in the Oakland rotation.
An ugly step back led to questions about his
spot in it.
Hammel gave up ve runs while recording
only nine outs and the Oakland Athleticsmini-
slide continued with a 7-2 loss to the Atlanta
Braves on Friday night.
Hammel (1-5) allowed ve runs and six hits,
including three homers, in three innings. He
was pulled after walking B.J. Upton to open the
fourth.
Obviously its not acceptable, Hammel
said. Ive got to nd a way to get through a few
more innings there, at least save the bullpen.
The As have lost three straight and ve of six.
Were just going through a tough time right
now, manager Bob Melvin said. You start to
press a little bit offensively and it can be conta-
gious as a group.
You start swinging at some pitches out of the
zone. Were pretty good about looking for our
pitch and waiting for it. We havent been as
good here recently.
Hammel has a 6.75 ERAin seven starts since
his trade from the Cubs. He
had allowed only one
earned run over 12 innings
in his previous two starts.
Melvin said Hammel was
hurt by high pitches in giv-
ing up homers to Justin
Upton and Evan Gattis in
the second. The more dam-
aging one was Freddie
Freemans three-run homer
in the third.
Melvin wouldnt discuss Hammels status in
the rotation.
I would never make comments about any
player 10 minutes after a game regardless of
who it is or what, Melvin said.
Oaklands only runs off Alex Wood (9-
9) came on a two-run homer by Nate
Freiman in the fourth.
Braves rookie Phil Gosselin hit a two-run
homer, the rst of his career, off Jesse Chavez
in the sixth.
After the game, Freeman applauded Atlantas
power surge.
That was a good night, Freeman said, not-
ing Oakland brought the majors best record to
Atlanta.
We always play those teams the hardest, and
it was no different tonight, Freeman said.
Chris Johnson was credited with a ground-rule
double when As centerelder Coco Crisp lost
his deep y ball in the lights in the third. The
ball landed well behind Crisp and bounced over
the wall. Hammel hit Gattis with a pitch and
then escaped the jam.
Melvin said left-hander Jon Lester, who is
scheduled to start on Sunday, has had a smooth
adjustment to the rotation following his trade
from Boston. I think he had as much trouble
getting used to the white shoes as he has actual-
ly going out there and performing, Melvin
said. Because you put him in any uniform and
hes going to give you, for the most part, the
same type of performance.
After Wood issued one-out walks to Jonny
Gomes and Josh Donaldson in the rst, the left-
hander made a pickoff throw to second base.
Umpire Ted Barrett called Gomes safe. Braves
manager Fredi Gonzalez challenged the ruling
and the call was overturned following a review
of 1 minute, 50 seconds.
The ruling proved important when Derek
Norris followed with a single to left eld that
likely would have scored Gomes from second.
Hammel allows three homers in loss to Atlanta
Jason Hammel
Hamels, and were only retired in order once
by Papelbon.
Hamels was able to avoid trouble with the
exception of the fourth. Buster Posey led off
with a single and Sandoval hit a ground-rule
double ahead of Morse.
Marlon Byrd hit his 23rd homer for the
Phillies.
The Giants had three runners thrown out on
the bases, two trying to score.
Angel Pagan, who led off the seventh with
a double, was about halfway to third before
Hamels noticed him and trapped him in a run-
down. Pagan was tagged out at second.
Pinch-runner Gregor Blanco tried to score
from third on Brandon Crawfords safety
squeeze in the sixth. Hamels elded the ball
and ran down Blanco near third.
Giants third base coach Tim Flannery sent
Sandoval home with two outs in the eighth
on Joe Paniks single to right. Byrds throw
to Carlos Ruiz was there in plenty of time.
Morses home run in the fourth traveled
about 15 feet less than the 400-foot drive he
hit to right-center in the second. Morses
towering y to the roomy area of the ballpark
known as Triples Alley allowed Byrd plenty
of time to run under it.
Outelder John Mayberry Jr. continues to
deal with inammation in his left wrist. His
recovery has been interrupted by minor set-
backs following workouts.
Righti-hander Kyle Kendrick (5-11, 4.88
ERA) takes the mound Saturday afternoon.
He is 1-3 in his past six starts and has an
ERAof 6.98 over his last seven.
Giants right-hander Tim Hudson (8-9,
2.81) pitches Saturday. The Giants have lost
seven of his last 10 starts. Hudson has start-
ed 30 games against the Phillies and is 11-
10 with a 3.60 ERAagainst them.

GIANTS
Brewers 6, Dodgers 3
LOS ANGELES Pinch-hitter Lyle
Overbay drove in three runs with a two-out
double in the eighth inning, rallying the
Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-3 victory over the
Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night in a
game between division leaders.
Brandon Kintzler (2-3) got the victory,
giving up one hit in one inning of relief.
The NL Central-leading Brewers scored all
their runs in the eighth off Jamey Wright (4-
3), who gave up four hits and walked one.
They tied the score 2-all on Scooter
Gennetts RBI single and Khris Davis run-
scoring double after Wright allowed four
consecutive hits, Milwaukees rst since
getting two hits in the rst inning.
Brandon League struck out pinch-hitter
Rickie Weeks before Overbay doubled to
left, scoring Gennett, Davis and Mark
Reynolds, who was intentionally walked,
for a 5-2 lead.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for
his 37th save.

We found a home-like
a[ oroa(c ,ovIol
players to be selected in the MLS SuperDraft,
however. With the departure of the formidable
tandem, Bonomo becomes the ranking scor-
ing weapon on roster.
We lost two key center backs, which has
been a difcult hole to ll, but I think weve
found what weve needed with this new group
coming in, Bonomo said. So, I think well
be ready for the season.
After serving as a forward for his three previ-
ous seasons in blue and gold, Bonomo is
potentially transitioning to defensive mid-
elder. The move comes on the heels of an
injury-plagued end to his junior year.
Were going to take a look at him in training
and in preseason games at defensive mideld
and see how he does, Grimes said. He played
there in the spring and came along quite nicely.
Bonomo has plenty of experience as a mid-
elder. In his senior season at Burlingame, he
won Peninsula Athletic League Midelder of
the Year honors while leading the Panthers to
an appearance in the Central Coast Section
Division II championship game. This years
assignment, however, is more defense-orient-
ed than Bonomo has ever been in the past.
Its actually completely different than the
[position] I played in high school, Bonomo
said. In high school, I played more attacking
mideld. So, I was more on the offensive side.
This year at Cal Im playing defensive inside,
so Im playing a little further back, deeper in
the eld, closer to my defense. Its been cool
learning a new a position and learning new
ways of how to play.
He will still have ample opportunity to rack
up points, however. Sundly played in the same
defensive midelder position last season and
ranked second on the team in points.
Bonomo is fully recovered from the injuries
which slowed him at the end of last season. It
was a pair of injuries which steamrolled him in
the nal month. First he sustained a bone con-
tusion in his foot Nov. 3 against UCLA. Then
after returning to the starting lineup three
games later Nov. 13 against Stanford, he pulled
his right hamstring, after which he did not start
a game for the remainder of the season.
The guy starting over me at the time was a
lot more t to play, Bonomo said. But I was
ready to jump in at any given moment. So, it
all worked out well.
After seeing limited action, Bonomo emerged
as a scoring factor in the Bearsnal game of the
season. After totaling just 89 minutes through
Cals rst two playoff games a 3-1 win Nov.
24 over Bradley, and a 1-0 win Dec. 1 over
Coastal Carolina he scored the lone Bears
goal in their Dec. 7 postseason nale.
Playing nearly a full slate with 78 minutes,
Bonomo scored the goal off a strong second
effort. The play developed quickly in the 50th
minute on a long cross-pass by Dylan Serrano.
With a close-range attempt, Bonomo headed
what he thought was a surere goal.
I thought it was going in, but the keeper
made an unbelievable save, Bonomo said.
Sure enough, Maryland goalkeeper Zack
Steffan made a clutch diving stop, but the ball
careened off his block. And as Bonomo,
Steffan and another Maryland defender tumbled
to the ground, Bonomo found the rebound with
his foot and chipped it into the vacated goal.
Stefano was denitely competing and
scrapping to put his chance away, which he
did, Grimes said.
Cal did make program history last season
with the departure of Birnbaum, as the fth-
year senior was the second overall pick in the
January draft by D.C. United, becoming the
highest selected player in Cal history. And the
2013-14 draft class became one of the most
prestigious in NCAAhistory, as East Palo Alto
native Christian Dean was selected third over-
all by Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Since the inception of the SuperDraft in
1996, only two programs have fared better. In
2008, UCLA accounted for the rst and third
overall picks. In 2011, University of Akron
accounted for the second, third and fourth picks.
Bonomo has hopes of continuing the Cal
tradition in this years draft.
Ive just wanted to keep getting better every
year here at Cal, and hopefully one day (Ill get
to play professional soccer), Bonomo said.
Well see.
CAL
coverage was deected and intercepted by James
Ihedigbo.
Two plays later, cornerback Tarell Brown bit
on a double move and Tate raced past him to
catch a 28-yard score.
Kicker Nate Freese hit the upright on the
extra point from the 15-yard line. Freese, in a
competition with Giorgio Tavecchio, made up
for that with a 55-yard eld goal in the closing
seconds of the half.
Stafford picked apart Oaklands defense in his
limited action, completing 9 of 10 passes for 88
yards and capping the second drive when Durham
outjumped TJ Carrie for the 4-yard score. Stafford
spread the ball around well, completing passes
to ve receivers on three drives.
Detroits backup Dan Orlovsky also had suc-
cess, going 8 for 12 for 153 yards and leading
an 83-yard TD drive to open the second half.
Schaub at least ended his night on a positive
note by leading a 60-yard drive that was capped
by a 1-yard TD run from Darren McFadden.
Schaub was nearly intercepted by Rashean
Mathis early in the drive when he was late on an
out pass to Rod Streater.
But Schaub was helped out by a pair of penal-
ties on Detroit after the Lions had appeared to
stop the drive and then threw a 22-yard screen
pass to Maurice Jones-Drew to set up the score.
Carr led the Raiders to a eld goal on his rst
drive, throwing a 16-yard pass to Jones on a
rollout for the key play.
After stalling on his rst drive of the second
half, Carr looked sharp late in the third quarter
when he completed all six passes for 76 yards
on a touchdown drive capped by a 3-yard pass to
undrafted rookie tight end Jake Murphy.
A 50-yard punt return by Carrie set up
Janikowskis third eld goal of the night early in
the fourth quarter to cut Detroits lead to 23-20.
But Carr left the game holding his ribs
later in the fourth quarter after a hard hit
from Larry Webster. Carr, Oaklands second-
round pick in May, went 9 for 16 for 109
yards and looked comfortable in the pocket
against Detroits reserves.

ASHBURN, Va. On Monday night, Jon
Gruden the television analyst gets to critique
Jay Gruden the rookie NFL head coach. It
should make for a few entertaining moments.
Jon is Jon. Hes going to be positive if
he can, but if I do something thats out-of-
line ignorant, Im sure hell call me on it,
Jay Gruden said with a laugh.
Young brother Jays Washington
Redskins will host the Cleveland Browns
on older brother Jons Monday Night
Football. On Saturday, Jon will interview
Jay as part of the usual pregame broadcast
routine. There were competitive as boys and
have been mutually supportive of each
other as adults, but their sibling banter
remains as strong as ever.
Hes very good at what he does, and he
wont jeopardize what he
does for my feelings,
thats for sure, Jay said
with another laugh. He
never has.
Actually, Jay Gruden
has been doing a good
job of self-critique with-
out any help during his
initial months on the
job. After his rst presea-
son game, he candidly
admitted: I need to x
my game day awareness.
Its not often an NFL
coach will say something
like that, even if theres a
good excuse: Jay Gruden
only had to focus on one
side of the ball during his
three seasons as offen-
sive coordinator with the
Cincinnati Bengals.
Its a great experience for me, and I
know Ive got a long way to go to improve
myself, but just little things simple
awareness things and being able to com-
municate and see whats going on.
Jay Gruden also said he wants to x the
pregame warmup because, well, it just felt
like it was a little weird.
Just little things, like how long were out
there for stretching, one-on-ones and all
that stuff just a couple things that I didnt
feel comfortable about, he said. Certain
things you just dont really think about, and
pregame warm-up is one of them.
After the new-and-improved warmup, the
starters will play about a quarter Monday
night. Among those not suiting up will be
defensive end Jason Hatcher (recovering from
knee surgery), running back Chris Thompson
(sprained ankle) and LB Darryl Sharpton
(sprained ankle). Safety Brandon
Meriweather is questionable with a toe injury.
Fridays practice was scheduled to the last
this season open to reporters in its entirety,
and it was a lively one. When running back
Alfred Morris dropped a pass in front of line-
backer Adam Hayward, Hayward teased: You
havent got to cover him; he cant catch
another reminder that the offense needs
someone to step up as a third-down back.
Cornerback DeAngelo Hall was needled
mercilessly after giving up a deep pass to
speedy DeSean Jackson, who wears jersey
No. 1 in practice. You thought 1 was
going to block you, hollered defensive
backs coach Raheem Morris. You know 1
dont block!
Finally, when a stray ball bounded toward
the sidelines, team president Bruce Allen
gave it a boot back onto the eld.
Terrible punt! safety Ryan Clark
quipped at Allen. Good thing youre better
at picking players than punting.

BROOKLYN, Mich. NASCAR added a
rule Friday barring its drivers from
approaching the track or moving cars after
accidents, less than a week after driver
Kevin Ward Jr. was struck and killed during
a dirt-track race in New York.
If a car is involved in an accident and can no
longer keep going and no extenuating cir-
cumstances exist such as smoke in the cockpit
or re the driver should not loosen any per-
sonal safety equipment until directed to do so
by safety personnel or a NASCAR or track of-
cial. After being told to exit the car, the driver
should proceed to an emergency vehicle or as
otherwise directed.
The rule takes effect immediately and applies
to all of NASCARs series.
Really, were formalizing rules that have
been there, said Robin Pemberton,
NASCARs vice president of competition and
racing development. Its reminders that take
place during drivers meetings with drivers
about on-track accidents.
Last Saturday, Stewarts car struck and killed
Ward at a sprint car race in Canandaigua, New
York. After Stewart appeared to clip Wards car,
sending it spinning, Ward left the car during
the caution period, walked down the track and
was hit by Stewart. His funeral was Thursday.
Stewart could face criminal charges. He is
skipping this weekends Sprint Cup race at
Michigan International Speedway.
Through time you have to recognize when
you get a reminder or tap on the shoulder,
something that may need to be addressed,
Pemberton said. This is one of those times
where we look outside our sport and we look at
other things, and we feel like it was time to
address this.
It remains to be seen how NASCAR will
enforce the provision, and how much the
threat of penalties will deter drivers in the
heat of the moment. Jimmie Johnson, six-
time champion and one of NASCARs most
respected drivers, said he thought it was the
right move.
Will that stop a driver thats really upset?
Johnson said. I dont know. Its hard to say.
Theres still going to be confrontations out
there and thats never going to change. People
will still get mad at each other, added Joey
Logano. Youve got to keep the big picture of
staying safe out there and somehow control-
ling your emotions.
The sport has thrived thanks to the person-
alities of some of its biggest stars and that
includes an occasional feud or angry encounter
at the track. Stewart once threw his helmet at
Matt Kenseths windshield. In 2003, Kevin
Harvick climbed on the roof of his car to shout
at Ricky Rudd, who had nudged him from
behind late in a race.
The 1979 Daytona 500 is remembered for
a last-lap crash between Donnie Allison and
Cale Yarborough as they raced for the lead.
The crash led to a three-man ght after
Allisons brother, Bobby, pulled up to the
accident scene.
An occasional shouting match or obscene
gesture may seem like a harmless frivolity, but
Wards death underscored the dangers of being
on foot near moving race cars.
Johnson said the risk may be higher on
dirt tracks.
Alot of those dirt drivers dont have spot-
ters. They dont have radios in the car. And in a
NASCAR event, especially if youre part of the
crash and that guy is mad at you, your spotter
is telling you where he is, Johnson said. I
would just say that hopefully short tracks pick
up this philosophy and enforce it. But I dont
know if it will change a drivers mind as they
get out of the race car. But it would be nice for
the rest of the eld to know what has happened
and if there is a hot-tempered driver on foot.

count to 2-2, she struck out look-
ing on a pitch that caught the out-
side corner.
As March trotted back to the
dugout, the crowd let the umpire
know its opinion of the call as boos
reigned down from the stands.
Massar, slated to throw out the rst
pitch at one of Mondays games,
believes more girls will start to play
in Little League and beyond. She
thinks eventually there will be a
woman in Major League Baseball.
Massar played in 1950, leading to
a rule barring girls from playing.
That rule was overturned in 1974. The
self-described trailblazer said she
celebrates her role in history.
Its something Im proud of, she
said. Why not play baseball with
the boys?
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett
was in South Williamsport on Friday
and watched Davis dominating per-
formance.
Theres a lot of pressure on her,
and she seems to be handling it very,
very well for her age, Corbertt said
during the Philadelphia game, adding
that the 13-year-old has a nice deliv-
ery. It goes to show you how sports
have moved the last 30 or 40 years,
and we wouldnt have thought of this
40 or 50 years ago. And today, shes
out there pitching, doing a great job
and Im sitting there thinking, Is
she going to go into professional
baseball? I dont know.
Shes played as well as any kid out
there right now.
Davis retired the rst six batters
and needed only 70 pitches. She was
hitless in three at-bats.
Jared Sprague-Lott hit a three-run
home run in the rst inning, and
Carter Davis had an RBI sacrice y
in the sixth.
Also Friday in U.S. play, Pearland,
Texas, beat Cumberland, Rhode
Island, 6-4. In the other International
game, Japan beat Venezuela 1-0.
The tournament opened with four
games Thursday. In the U.S. bracket,
Chicago beat Lynnwood,
Washington 12-2 in ve innings,
and Las Vegas topped Rapid City,
South Dakota, 12-2, also in ve
innings. In the International games,
Seoul, South Korea, beat Brno,
Czech Republic, 10-3, and Humacao,
Puerto Rico, topped Perth, Australia,
16-3 in four innings.
Mexico 4,Canada 3
Juan Garzas play from the mound
and the plate helped Mexico edge
Canada 4-3 Friday in the Little
League World Series.
After Canada tied the game 1-1
in the top of the third inning,
Mexicos Luis Rodriguez hit a two-
run shot to right eld. The third
baseman went 3-for-3 on the day,
adding a single and a double.
Garza added a double in the
fourth inning, bringing in Miguel
De La Guente for a three-run advan-
tage. He held the Canadians in
check with nine strikeouts, allow-
ing two hits in four innings.
Canada added two runs in the fth.
Next up for Mexico will be the win-
ner of the Venezuela-Japan game.
Texas 6,Rhode Island 4
Matthew Adams stuck out seven in
4 2/3 innings to help Pearland,
Texas, beat Cumberland, Rhode
Island, 6-4 on Friday night in the
Little League World Series.
Landon Donley earned a save in the
opener for both teams, allowing a
run on a elders choice before get-
ting Addison Kopack to y out to
deep right center.
Michael Groover had a two-run
single for Pearland in the top of
the sixth.
Pearland catcher Joshua Gabino
left in the bottom of the rst with an
injured left hand.
Japan 1, Venezuela 0
Takuma Takahashi threw a one-hit-
ter and struck out 14 in Japans 1-0
victory over Venezuela on Friday in
the Little League World Series.

Japan scored in the top of the third
inning on Suguru Kanamoris single
after Taro Hashiguchi reached third

NFL PRESEASON GLANCE
Kings sign rst NBA
player of Indian descent
SACRAMENTO Sim Bhullar
has signed a contract to join the
Sacramento Kings in training camp,
becoming the rst player of Indian
descent to sign with an NBAteam.
The Kings announced Bhullars
deal Friday. Terms of the contract
were not disclosed.
The 7-foot-5, 360-pound center
was born in Toronto and played two
seasons for New Mexico State,
where he averaged 10.2 points, 7.2
rebounds and 2.9 blocks to lead the
Aggies to back-to-back NCAAtour-
naments. Undrafted this spring,
Bhullar was part of the Kings team
that won the NBAs summer league
tournament in Las Vegas last month.
Dubs Livingston out 6-8 weeks
OAKLAND Golden State
Warriors guard Shaun Livingston is
expected to be out six to eight
weeks after having arthroscopic sur-
gery on the big toe of his right foot.
The Warriors said Friday that
Livingstons toe will be in a splint
for the rst three weeks of his recov-
ery. The team says the procedure was
performed Wednesday by Dr. Richard
Ferkel at the Southern California
Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys.
Golden State signed Livingston
to a three-year contract worth about
$16 million in July. The team says
he was diagnosed with a sprained
right big toe at the time and his foot
was placed in a cast. The Warriors
say Livingston was re-evaluated last
week and it was determined that sur-
gery was needed.

When you're looking at a home there can be a number of boundaries you need
to consider.
First, rs rt wrthrn the crty |rmrts or rs rt a county or unrncorporated area. What
services are provided? Is it the city or county fire, city police or sheriff?
Secondly, what is the school district boundary where the home is located? This
would mean both elementary school and high school districts, which can cross
city and county lines. You may end up within one city s elementary school district
but another town s high school.
Thirdly, what type of zoning is
involved with the homes location?
Is it conforming or non-conforming
to the zoning? Is it the city Building
Department or county planning that
is the jurisdiction?
Fourth, but not least, what type of
geological, flood, environmental
hazard & property tax areas affect
the property?
So it may not just be location,
location, location but also boundaries,
boundaries, boundaries!

LOS ANGELES At one point during
Lets Be Cops, actor Damon Wayans Jr.
has a scene in which a huge naked mans
groin is inches from his face. Thats a good
approximation of what lmgoers will expe-
rience during this witless high-concept com-
edy featuring him and his co-star on Fox sit-
com New Girl, Jake Johnson, who must be
newly appreciating the sophistication of the
small screen.
In case you didnt deduce it from the title,
the lm concerns two stumblebums who
decide to impersonate policemen for kicks.
They are 30-year-olds Ryan (Johnson), a for-
mer college athlete and mostly unemployed
actor who spends his time barging in on
childrens football games, and Justin
(Wayans), a struggling video game designer.
When the pair don police uniforms, bor-
rowed from Justins failed attempt at pitch-
ing a cop-themed video game, to attend a
masquerade party that they mistakenly
assume is a costume party, they nd them-
selves the recipients of adoring female
attention and respectful deference from
everyone with whom they come into con-
tact. Since the lm is set in Los Angeles,
thats the rst clue that nothing onscreen
will be remotely believable.
The pair is soon engaged in various
hijinks that escalate when Ryan buys a used
police car on eBay and outts it with the lit-
eral bells and whistles. Although the milque-
toast Justin is initially resistant to the cha-
rade, he enthusiastically joins in after nal-
ly getting somewhere with Josie (Nina
Dobrev), the beautiful coffee shop waitress
for whom hes been pining.
They eventually run afoul of a gang of
Russian mobsters headed by the psycho-
pathically violent Mossi (a buffed-up James
DArcy). With the aid of a real cop (Rob
Riggle) who at rst mistakes them for the
real thing, they get embroiled in a dangerous
investigation in which theyre way over
their heads.
The screenplay, co-written by Nicholas
Thomas and director Luke Greeneld, fails to
mine the potentially humorous premise for
the necessary laughs, with nearly all of the
gags falling thuddingly at. As if realizing
that the humor wasnt going anywhere, the
lm suddenly lurches into action movie ter-
ritory, complete with the sort of violence
and brutality that is tonally at odds with the
farcical setup.
While they demonstrate a genuine
onscreen chemistry, the lead performers are
thoroughly adrift, with Wayans mainly dis-
playing pained expressions throughout and
Johnson devolving into unfunny boorish
mode.
The supporting players are equally ineffec-
tive at overcoming the lame material, with
Andy Garcia barely making an impression
(but picking up an easy paycheck) as an
underworld heavy. The sole exception is
Keegan-Michael Key, of the sketch comedy
duo Key & Peele, who garners some laughs
as a wildly braided street informant.
The end credits are accompanied not by the
usual outtakes but rather by brief comic
scenes that didnt make into the nal prod-
uct. Perversely, theyre funnier than any-
thing thats preceded them.
Lets Be Cops, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated R for language including
sexual references, some graphic nudity, vio-
lence and drug use. Running time: 104 min-

Humor arrested in Cops
By Carolyn Thompson
BUFFALO, N.Y. Conrad Bassett-Bouchard
started his championship Scrabble game
Wednesday with the word zilch and nished
with the opposite the $10,000 prize and title
of national Scrabble champion.
The 24-year-old player from Portland,
Oregon, beat 29-year-old Jason Li of Montreal
in the nal round of the ve-day 25th National
Scrabble Championships played at the Buffalo
Niagara Convention Center.
The tournaments second seed, Bassett-
Bouchard said he knew luck was with him when
he drew a wildcard blank tile and an s on his
rst seven-tile rack. He led for most of the
match, winning by a score of 477-350.
I was playing catch-up right to the end, said
Li, the 18th seed, who had the letters to play an
obscure but potentially high-scoring word but
didnt see it, creating a buzz among experienced
onlookers.
Hes going to be kick-
ing himself for missing
gramarye, tournament
director John Chew said
after the play.
Chew, co-president of the
North American Scrabble
Players Association, the
events sponsor, called Lis
presence in the nal round
the biggest surprise in the
tournament, which saw an emerging group of
younger players edge out the old guard.
Tournament favorite and ve-time champion
Nigel Richards, 47, described by one com-
petitor as the Michael Jordan of the game n-
ished a surprising 16th.
All these younger players are avid online
players, said Will Anderson, 29, trying to
explain the success of the tournaments 20-
somethings at an old-fashioned board game.
These guys have all played thousands of
games on the Internet to hone their skills and
meet each other before theyve ever met in per-
son, Anderson said. The Croton-on-Hudson
player nished fth in Buffalo after placing
third last year.
The nal game saw Bassett-Bouchard and Li
head-to-head at a white-linen-draped table while
a tournament representative live-tweeted their
every move. Although it was just one of dozens
of games taking place inside the cavernous
meeting room, the mufed clattering of tiles as
players shook and drew from cloth drawstring
bags was virtually the only sound.
The winning board contained the words ori-
gen, trooz, venerate, contuse and barf.
Bassett-Bouchard said his win seemed immi-
nent when Li played jug, giving him room on
the board to spell docents and pull further
ahead.
From that point on, he said, it was going
to be pretty hard for me to lose.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Brian Kelley and
Tyler Hubbard of country dude duo Florida
Georgia Line know all eyes on Music Row are
on them as they prepare to release their second
album, Anything Goes, on Oct. 14.
Everybody wants to see if countrys favorite
party boys can keep the festivities rolling, and
Kelley and Hubbard dont really mind.
A little bit of that pressure creates some
pretty good creativity, Kelley said. We just
pushed really hard little melody changes,
adding little things here, an 808 drop there, a
breakdown here, a different guitar lick there,
whatever it may be, we really spent a lot of
time on the little details.
Better is better, and thats our motto.
For the most part, the 12 tracks on the Joey
Moi-produced album mine the same high-spir-
ited territory as debut Heres to the Good
Times upbeat rockers meant to evoke mid-
night bonre parties at the lake. Lead single
Dirt is another No. 1 hit on the country
charts, and has already peaked at No. 11 on the
Hot 100. The groups music is part of a trend
that some within the community say has
pushed countrys sound too far toward the pop
music middle.
Their fans, however, could care less, and
made their Cruise remix featuring Nelly the
most popular digital download in country
music. It sold a whopping 6.9 million tracks.
Heres to the Good Times, released in 2012
and re-released last year, has sold 1.98 million
albums and currently sits at No. 25 on
Billboards 200 albums chart.
While there is no rapping, the duo listened
to the fans on Anything Goes and continued
to push the boundaries of the genre.
They completely ditch the metaphor and
sing openly about smoking marijuana on Sun
Daze, perhaps setting up a difcult choice for
radio program directors. And then there are the
808 bass drops on a handful of songs that will
no doubt drive country purists crazy, but add an
interesting counterpoint to the sunshine
bright rock guitar tones on the album.
We took all that good energy and the suc-
cess that (the fans) have given us and put it
into making this next record, and I think it
shows, Kelley said. Theres a couple sad
songs, theres a couple that make you think,
but at the same time its a party album. Its a
feel-good album. Right when you get to the
last song youre going to want to start it all
over again. Its right exactly 100 percent
where we are in our lives.
And thats a pretty good place with the line
between work and play completely blurred.
When theyre not on the road partying with
fans, their crossover success has allowed them
to up the fun while home. Hubbard built an air-
lovers dirt bike track in his backyard. And
Kelleys about to reveal his awesome new tree-
house Friday night on the Animal Planet reali-
ty show Treehouse Masters. He calls it
breathtaking.
The treehouse is two stories of adult child-
like fun, man, Kelley said. Its hard to put in
words what this treehouse is. Its a studio, its a
living space, its a creative space. Its spiritu-
al. Ive never seen anything like it.
Record 3, well be doing a lot of vocals
there.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 20
By Jocelyn Noveck
NEW YORK It was almost 20 years
ago, and actor Jeff Bridges was searching
for a movie project that would be a family
affair one in which he could direct his
father, Lloyd, and that his children, then
around middle-school age, would want to
see.
Achildrens book catalog caught his eye.
It had a picture of this old grizzled guy on
the cover. And I said, Oh, Dad could do
that!
That book was The Giver, by Lois
Lowry, which won the prestigious Newberry
Medal in 1994 and has sold over 10 million
copies worldwide. He read it, then men-
tioned it to his kids. They said, Oh, we
know that, we read it in school, he said in
an interview this week. It turned out there
were whole curriculums based on it.
Indeed. Theres hardly a middle-schooler
who hasnt been assigned The Giver at
some point. And so the lm version, open-
ing this week, isnt exactly riding the coat-
tails of book-to-lm franchises like The
Hunger Games and Divergent. You might
actually say it started the whole craze.
But why did it take so long to get made?
I thought, Its gonna be a cinch,
Bridges chuckled. And that was 18 years
ago.
There were problems. The book, which
depicts euthanasia, for one thing of weak
babies and the elderly was banned in
some places. And because so much of the
action took place inside the mind of its
main character, it was hard to capture in a
screenplay. At least ve or six were written.
Financing proved elusive.
Years went by. And Bridges and author
Lowry watched as young-adult dystopian
fiction became the next big thing in
Hollywood. The Hunger Games debuted in
2012 to huge box ofce, elevating Jennifer
Lawrence to a mega-star; the sequel fol-
lowed, with two more to come. The
Divergent franchise launched earlier this
year.
It was kind of unnerving, said Lowry,
sipping tea in a Manhattan hotel this week.
And yet, both Lowry and Bridges agree,
maybe its good that it took so long.
At rst I was saying, Oh darn, Bridges
said, using a saltier term. We missed the
boat! But really, our movie wouldnt have
gotten made without those movies leading
the way. (His father died in 1998; now
Bridges, a co-producer, himself plays the
character of The Giver. )
Lowry, who ranks third among Amazons
top 100 authors, hopes the wait means an
entirely new audience will have emerged.
And as for fans of the book, we so hope
they wont be outraged by the changes.
Ah, the changes always a balancing
act. The story focuses on a boy, Jonas, who
lives in a Community ruled by a Committee
of Elders. All is based on the concept of
Sameness. Theres no color, only black and
white. Theres no emotion; sexual stir-
rings are blunted with daily medication.
Most important, there are no memories of
earlier times, for that would cause suffering.
But Jonas is chosen to be the communitys
one Receiver of Memories, and as he learns
about the world outside called Elsewhere
it throws his own world into chaos.
In the book, Jonas is 12. In the movie,
his age isnt clear, but hes played by
Australian heartthrob Brenton Thwaites,
whos 25. This was done partly to create a
teen romance, a change that initially deeply
concerned both Bridges and Lowry. Now,
they insist theyve made peace with it.
Lowry sounds happier about another key
change, one that gives Meryl Streep, as the
stern Chief Elder, a substantial role. I wish
I could go back to the book and ll out that
character now, Lowry said.
But to many fans of the book, its perfect
the way it is. Lowry learned of the books
power during a recent appearance at Comic-
Con, where she, and not the stars, proved
the major attraction.
Here I was with all these movie stars, and
all the audience questions were for me, she
marveled.
But theres a ip side to that reader pas-
sion: Some fans got angry when the rst
trailer came out in color (in the book, only
Jonas can see color.) There was outrage,
Lowry said. Ultimately, a new trailer was
released showing that much of the lm is
shot in black and white.
That fan passion extends even to mem-
bers of the cast. At a news conference this
week, Taylor Swift, who has a tiny but
meaningful role, spoke of how she adored
the book in fth grade.
It celebrates all the things I hold really
dear and are important to me, the singer
said, like our history, our music, our art,
our intellect and our memories.
As for Streep, she recalled that the book
was on her childrens required summer read-
ing list.
Lowry, who of course had no power over
what would happen to her story, says shes
gratied that lmmakers sought her input.
They called her constantly for advice
though they didnt always take it and
even ew her to the set in South Africa.
One day I muttered not to anyone in
particular that I hated a certain line of dia-
logue, she said. And suddenly I saw it had
been cut.
Lowry thinks that if she published her
book today, it wouldnt cause nearly the rip-
ples it did two decades ago.
Now, weve been exposed to something
like The Hunger Games, where children are
killing other children, she said. So The
Giver sounds like mild fare compared to
that.
The Giver arrives, after a two-decade journey
It took Jeff Bridges,left,nearly 20 years to bring the Lois Lowry book,The Giverto the big screen.
Publicist: Casey Kasem
to be buried in Norway
LOS ANGELES The wife of Casey
Kasem plans to bury the late radio personal-
ity in Norway contrary to Kasems desire
to be interred in Los Angeles and against the
wishes of his adult children, a publicist for
Kasems daughter said Friday.
The children were working with a private
investigator but have few legal options to
prevent the overseas burial, publicist
Danny Deraney told the Associated Press.
Teruyuki Olsen, a lawyer for Jean Kasem,
didnt return an email seeking comment. As
the spouse of the radio personality, she is
conservator of his body, said Deraney, who
works for Kerri Kasem.
It was unclear when the burial might occur
and why Jean Kasem selected Norway.
Kasem, host of American Top 40, died
on June 15 at a hospital in Gig Harbor,
Washington. He was 82 and suffering from
dementia. His death fol-
lowed a lengthy battle
over his care between
Jean Kasem and his three
adult children from his
rst marriage.
Deraney said burial out-
side the United States
would be contrary to what
Casey Kasem had wanted.
He publicly made it
clear to his friends, his kids, that he wanted
to be buried in Forest Lawn in Glendale, in
Los Angeles, the publicist said.
The Norwegian newspaper VG reported
that Kasem will be buried in Oslo.
Its been arranged, hes going to Oslo,
Wenche Madsen Eriksson, the head of the
funeral service administration in Oslo, told
the newspaper.
She declined to say why Oslo was chosen,
explaining that the family wants to keep
that information condential.

By John Rogers
BEVERLY HILLS You couldnt miss
Hollywood talent agent Sid Levins ofce in
the old days: It wasnt much bigger than a
closet and it was sometimes lled with bur-
glars, bank robbers and gang members, all
trying to break into the movies.
These days youll nd everyone from Gulf
War veterans to a 15-time world arm-
wrestling champion there, and Levin didnt
bring them in for protec-
tion. Theyre looking to
be movie stars, too.
In a town where seem-
ingly everyone wants to
be a star, but few look
like James Franco or
Scarlett Johansson,
Levin is the talent agent
who represents the peo-
ple who look like the
rest of us. Some play tough guys because
they once were. Or hard-core military types
because they were that.
I am kind of the strange guy here in
Hollywood, says Levin from behind the
desk of his ofce, which is actually just
down the road in adjacent Beverly Hills. I
rep a lot of talented people, but people who
are kind of the underdog. But thats OK. Im
the underdog, too.
One of his breakout underdogs is the arm-
wrestling champion and former juvenile
hall guard Dot-Marie Jones. Shes been
nominated for three Emmys since landing
the role of Coach Beiste on Glee.
Although she missed out on a nomination at
this months awards show, he says, hes
confident shell get one eventually
because shes that good.
On his desk, meanwhile, is an old-fash-
ioned Rolodex with a list of more than 100
names, many of people youve likely never
heard of but realize you sort of recognize
from somewhere.
Theres Abdoulaye Ngom, for example.
The Senegalese-born actor who came to Los
Angeles 35 years ago with the unlikely
dream of becoming a movie star, although
he spoke little English and what he did came
out in a thick accent reecting the years
hed spent in Senegal and France.
But Sid said, Theres just something
about you. I know youre going to work,
recalled the actor who after years of small
parts in lms like George of the Jungle
recently played the kindly hotel manager in
the Drew Barrymore-Adam Sandler comedy
Blended.
Likewise, when Levin saw the square-
jawed, no-nonsense-looking Coast Guard
Petty Ofcer Mike Dalager, he says, he
knew just what roles to send him after.
Dalagers been a cop, a soldier and a member
of the crew of The Enterprise in Star Trek:
Into Darkness. Not that he always plays
the good guy. He was also a Taliban militia-
man in Eagle Eye.
Its definitely a what-you-look-like
industry, laughs Dalager, adding Levin
seems to know that better than anyone.
Levin, 56, himself looks like he could
have walked out of a movie about an old-
time agent in the mold of Broadway Danny
Rose. Hes short, paunchy and, on this
day, dressed in slacks and a pull-over blue
shirt with a gold medallion hanging around
his neck.
Thirty years ago, the former stand-up
comic and singing-telegram salesman put
up a shingle in a tiny ofce at the fabled but
then-faded intersection of Hollywood and
Vine. People told me I had to move because
nobody would go there after dark, he
recalled of Hollywoods rougher days.
Kids from the even rougher streets of
South Los Angeles would, however, espe-
cially after Levin got seven of them roles in
director John Singletons breakthrough
movie Boyz n the Hood in 1991. They had
been sent to him by a Compton acting
coach named Anthony Bean who was trying
to get them away from street gangs.
Dont ask me why and how I found Sid. I
dont even recall, laughs Bean, who has
since returned to his native New Orleans to
run an acting school for inner-city youth.
But in a business that can be cut-throat,
Bean said he just got a feeling the fast-talk-
ing agent wouldnt rip off naive street kids.
The next break came when a tough look-
ing Latino actor from one of LAs roughest
barrios came through the door. When Danny
Trejo started to work regularly, Levin
recalls, he volunteered at prisoner work-
shops and began sending his students to
him.
Ex-cons that were bank robbers and what
have you started showing up, and that was
kind of dicey, he recalls, chuckling.
Still, he might have kept representing ex-
cons, gang members and their associates if
tragedy hadnt struck. Dedrik Gobert, one of
the South LAkids hed gotten into Boyz n
the Hood, seemed headed for stardom. He
was making money and spending it restor-
ing old cars.
Unfortunately, he raced one day against a
gang member, they argued afterward and he
was shot to death.
I still think about him a lot, Levin says
softly. It was just so senseless.
As most of the kids from LAs mean
streets drifted away from acting, and some
like Trejo who became big stars moved on
to other, more prominent representation,
Levin began to focus more on military and
law enforcement people.
He gured they have as much right to
dream of being movie and TV stars as any-
body else.
Talented is talented, he says.
Agent gives Hollywood edgy look with real people
I am kind of the strange guy here in Hollywood. I
rep a lot of talented people, but people who are
kind of the underdog. But thats OK. Im the underdog, too.

NEW YORK Michael Cera released an
indie folk album last week quietly, in a
way almost as unassuming as the actor him-
self.
I would record a lot of the songs in the
middle of the night just at
home. I never thought
anyone would ever listen
to them, he said in an
interview Thursday. Its
really nice that people
are paying any attention
to it because theres a lot
of stuff to listen to.
The 26-year-old,
whose TVand lm credits
include Arrested Development, Juno
and Superbad, dropped the 18-song
album, true that, on the Bandcamp web-
site on Aug. 8. He said he was bored a few
days ago and decided to make a page on the
website for people to check out his music.
It went largely overlooked until his act-
ing buddy Jonah Hill tweeted a link
Wednesday.
The album, which streams for free and
costs $7 to download, is made up of airy,
folky tracks, some just wordless fragments,
some more fully eshed out. Some songs are
covers and others have borrowed sound,
ranging from a TV reporter swearing after
swallowing a bug to a piece of dialogue lift-
ed from the 1973 lm O Lucky Man! star-
ring Malcolm McDowell.
I think it has some value in that sense.
Its honest. Its just an effort, Cera said,
adding that he created the songs with
GarageBand software. Im limited by many
things my abilities, my imagination and
my technology.
Cera said the albums quiet launch was a
nod from Beyonces playbook. The pop
diva released her top-selling self-titled
album last year without the public knowing.
I didnt want anyone to take it seriously
or think that I was taking it seriously by it
being a big thing, said Cera, who sang
backing vocals and played mandolin on
Weezers 2010 album, Hurley.
Its there now. Now people can hear the
stuff Ive spent time with and care about for
a long time.
Cera, who is preparing to make his
Broadway debut next month opposite
Kieran Culkin and Tavi Gevinson in
Kenneth Lonergans play This Is Our
Youth, said making music is relaxing and
fun to do with friends, but he never planned
on a recording career.
A friend of mine said to me, I think
youre too careful with your music. I
thought that was a nice, honest criticism
from a friend, he said.
He was right.

SNL alum Chris Kattan
gets probation for DUI
LOS ANGELES Chris Kattan has been
sentenced to three years probation for driv-
ing under the inuence and crashing his
Mercedes into a Department of
Transportation vehicle on a Southern
California freeway earlier this year.
The Los Angeles Times reports the former
Saturday Night Live star was also ordered
Thursday to pay a $500 ne and attend an
alcohol education program.
The 43-year-old was arrested in February
after he struck the vehicle that belonged to a
crew conducting maintenance on a guardrail.
Last scream for
Californias Colossus coaster
SANTA CLARITA Its last call for
Colossus.
The Southern California roller coaster
that was the worlds tallest and fastest when
it opened in 1978 retires Saturday outside
the top 10 in both categories.
Six Flags Magic Mountain expects thou-
sands of prospective riders on Colossus
last day, and a protest is planned by a group
seeking to save the roller coaster.
The mostly white wooden former giant is
125 feet tall and reaches a top speed of 62
mph.
Six months after it debuted 36 years ago,
a woman was ejected from her car and killed.

Iraqis welcome change
of PM but challenges loom
BAGHDAD Nouri al-Malikis decision
to step down as Iraqs prime minister raised
hopes Friday for a new government that can
roll back an increasingly powerful Sunni
insurgency and prevent the country from
splitting apart.
But to do that his successor has to unify
Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish factions that
deeply distrust each other and have conict-
ing demands, all while dealing with a
humanitarian crisis and the extremists con-
tinuing rampage in the north.
The man tapped to become the next prime
minister, Haider al-Abadi, a veteran Shiite
lawmaker, faces the immense challenge of
trying to unite Iraqi politicians as he cob-
bles together a Cabinet in just over three
weeks.
Sunni politicians are pressing for greater
political inuence, saying their disenfran-
chisement under al-Malikis Shiite-domi-
nated government fueled support among the
Sunni minority for the insurgency, led by
the extremist Islamic State group. At the
same time, the military needs signicant
bolstering after falling apart in the face of
the militants advance and proving inca-
pable of taking back lost territory.
World in brief
BRUSSELS The European Union on Friday
forged a unied response to the rapid advance of
Islamic militants in Iraq and the resulting
refugee crisis, allowing direct arms deliveries to
Kurdish ghters battling the Sunni insurgents.
Several EU nations pledged more humanitarian
aid.
The emergency meeting of the blocs 28 for-
eign ministers in Brussels marked a shift toward
greater involvement in Iraq, following weeks
during which the Europeans mainly considered
the situation an American problem because of
the 2003 U.S.-led Iraq invasion.
EU ministers pledged to step up efforts to help
those eeing advancing Islamic State militants,
with several nations announcing they will y
dozens of tons of aid to northern Iraq over the
coming days.
First of all, we need to make sure that we alle-
viate humanitarian suffering, Dutch Foreign
Minister Frans Timmermans told reporters.
Secondly, I believe we need to make sure that
(Islamic State) is not in a position to overrun
the Kurds or to take a stronger hold on Iraq.
France has pledged to ship weapons to the
Kurds and Britain is delivering ammunition and
military supplies obtained from eastern
European nations and is considering sending
more weaponry. Germany, the Netherlands and
others said they would also consider requests to
arm the Kurds.
Europes initiative came as Iraqs Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki agreed to step down
after weeks of insisting on a third four-year
term. His departure could pave the way for a
more inclusive Iraqi government and strengthen
Baghdads position in battling the Sunni insur-
gency.
U.S. and EU ofcials have said they can beef
up their support for Iraq once a stable govern-
ment is in place.
It is not simply Iraq or Syria that nd them-
selves threatened, it is the world, French
President Francois Hollande said in a speech
marking the 70th anniversary of the Allied
invasion of Provence. France decided to come
to their aid, both humanitarian and military. And
today another initiative emerged Europe
decided at last to do the same, because it is our
duty. ... It is there that the future of our continent
is being decided.
The decision to send arms to the Kurds is an
attempt to deal with an immediate crisis in a
defensible way, which is relying overwhelm-
ingly on sympathetic local forces, said Jeffrey
Anderson, a Georgetown University analyst.
But he added the long-term consequences could
be far-reaching.
Europe pledges aid to Iraqi refugees

Fields was indicted along with 15 others
in March but at the time was being held by
Santa Clara County on unrelated criminal
charges.
Fields is charged in a Sept. 24, 2012,
drive-by shooting in East Palo Alto that
began the stretch of crimes covered in the
sweeping indictment through December
2013, said prosecutor Morris Maya.
He went into custody in Santa Clara
County shortly after, which might be why
he wasnt involved in any of the other
crimes, Maya theorized.
Fields belongs to the Sac Street gang
which teamed up with fellow East Palo Alto
gang Da Vill against the Taliban gang. The
war between the two sides led to the 18-
month investigation, nicknamed
Operation Sunny Day in reference to the
code term used by gangmembers to indicate
a completed murder. After two months, a
criminal grand jury returned indictments for
crimes including four murders in East Palo
Alto and San Francisco, a highway shoot-
ing in Belmont, a robbery and attempting to
keep witnesses quiet. Other charged crimes
include drug trafcking, bribery, rearms
possession and conspiracy.
Others indicted are Raymond Bradford,
28, of East Palo Alto; Ralph Vernon Fields
Jr., 26, of East Palo Alto; Tyrone Love-
Lopez, 21, of East Palo Alto; Eric Valencia
Vargas, 20, of East Palo Alto; Marvin Jake
Ware, 26, of East Palo Alto, Donte Demon
Jordan, 19, of East Palo Alto; Roshawn
Bickham, 25 of Hayward; LaQuisha Walker,
28, of East Palo Alto; Leonard James

Jr., 23, of East Palo Alto, Nina Mehrnoosh
Cragg, 23, of Palo Alto; Roberto Busto-
Montes, 24, of East Palo Alto; and
Emmanuel Hyland, 25, of East Palo Alto.
In June, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
announced he would not seek death for
Cragg, Busto-Montes and Hyland but has
yet to decide on nine others charged with
murder plus special gang circumstances that
make them death penalty-eligible.
All defendants are due back in court Aug.
18 for a hearing on a defense motion to seal
the grand jury transcripts and to enter
Superior Court pleas.

CUSTODY
LOS ANGELES Hoping to keep lm pro-
duction in California, lawmakers have moved
to quadruple tax subsidies for location
shoots.
The state Senate Appropriations
Committee approved a bill Thursday that
would boost total subsidies to $400 million
a year, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The vote came after months of lobbying by
a coalition of entertainment industry unions,
studio representatives and Los Angeles city
ofcials, including Mayor Eric Garcetti.
The measure must still be approved by the
full Senate and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
But supporters say they are condent it will
clear the remaining hurdles, saying there is
widespread recognition that California is
losing one of its signature homegrown
industries to other states.
There is no question this will make a dif-
ference, said Bill Mechanic, a veteran lm
producer and former chief executive of Fox
Filmed Entertainment.
The legislation also would eliminate a con-
troversial system in which lm and TV pro-
ductions win tax credits based on a lottery
system, regardless of the economic effect of
the production, the Times said.
Feature lm production in Los Angeles
County has fallen by half since 1996, and the
regions share of TV pilot production has
fallen 73 percent since its peak in 2007,
according statistics compiled by Film L.A.
Inc.
Most states now offer lucrative incentives
for lming, awarding about $1.5 billion in
lm-related tax credits, rebates and grants in
2012 up from $2 million a decade ago,
according to the newspaper.
Garcetti, who has made ghting runaway
production one of his priorities, ew to
Sacramento this week. He and several other
mayors met with the governor to make their
case for more funding.
This represents a responsible and signi-
cant investment in the future of Californias
middle-class, Garcetti said.

occurred in most of the
world but by members
of Koreas own noble
classes who learned of
Christianity by reading
books about it.
These early Catholics were killed in the
18th and 19th centuries by the Joseon
Dynasty, which tried to shut the Korean
Peninsula off from Western inuence.
Acollective cheer erupted from the masses
when Francis declared the 124 blessed
the rst step toward possible sainthood.
Many of the women in the crowd wore lace
veils; others sported paper sun visors with
Papa Francesco written across them, pro-
tecting them from the overcast, hazy skies.
The scene was impressive, with thousands
of people neatly packed into fenced-in sec-
tions leading away from the altar, which was
set up in front of Gwanghwamun, the south
gate to Gyeongbokgung palace, with Inwang
mountain looming above and the presidential
Blue House on its lower slopes. Police in
green vests stood guard along the barricades
and volunteers handed out water to guard
against the warm, humid temperatures.
Police declined to give an estimate of the
crowd size, but local media reported it had
topped 1 million. The number was signicant
given that Catholics represent only about 10
percent of South Koreas 50 million people.

WORLD 23
KAMENSK-SHAKHTINSKY, Russia
NATO on Friday said a Russian military col-
umn ventured overnight into Ukraine, and
the Ukrainian president said his forces
destroyed most of it. Russia denied all of
this, but the reports spooked global mar-
kets and overshadowed optimism driven by
agreement over a Russian aid convoy bound
for eastern Ukraine.
The Russian aid convoy of more than 250
trucks has been a source of tensions since it
set off from Moscow on Tuesday. Kiev and
the West were suspicious that the mission
could be a pretext for a Russian military
incursion into eastern Ukraine, where gov-
ernment forces are battling pro-Russia sep-
aratists and clawing back rebel-held territo-
ry.
Throughout the eastern crisis that erupted
in April, there have been consistent allega-
tions that Russia is fomenting or directing
the rebellion. Moscow rejects the allega-
tions and the high-prole aid convoy could
be aimed, in part, at portraying Russia as
interested in cooling the conict. Russian
President Vladimir Putin appeared to culti-
vate that perception in a Thursday speech in
which he said Russia hopes for peace in
Ukraine.
It was not clear what Russia could hope to
gain by sending in a military column while
world attention was trained on its efforts to
get the aid convoy into eastern Ukraine.
But some foreign journalists reported that
Russian armored personnel carriers were
seen crossing into Ukraine on Thursday
night. On Friday, a statement on Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenkos website said
the given information was trustworthy and
conrmed because the majority of the vehi-
cles were destroyed by Ukrainian artillery at
night.
NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh
Rasmussen also conrmed that Russian mil-
itary vehicles had entered Ukraine, but he
gave no specics.
In Moscow, a spokesman for the Russian
Defense Ministry insisted that no Russian
military vehicles were destroyed because
none had crossed into Ukraine. Yet Britain
said it summoned Russian Ambassador
Alexander Yakovenko in to clarify reports
of the Russian incursion.
Markets sold off heavily Friday, spooked
by thought of Ukrainian troops engaging
with Russia forces inside Ukraine.
Germanys DAX, which had been trading
over 1 percent higher, ended the day 1.4 per-
cent lower.
The crossing reportedly took place near
the southern Russian town where the aid
trucks have been parked, awaiting permis-
sion to go into Ukraine.
After days of controversy, Russia nomi-
nally consented to let Ukrainian ofcials
inspect the convoy while it was still on
Russian soil and agreed that the Red Cross
would distribute the goods in Ukraines
region of Luhansk.
Laurent Corbaz, the International
Committee of the Red Cross director of
operations in Europe, described a tentative
plan in which the trucks would enter Ukraine
with a single Russian driver each as
opposed to the current crew of several peo-
ple in each truck accompanied by a Red
Cross worker. In line with Red Cross policy,
there would be no military escort, he said.
Russia denies its vehicles destroyed in Ukraine
BRUSSELS The European Union offered
Friday to take charge of Gazas border cross-
ings and work to prevent illegal arms ows,
insisting on a durable truce and saying a
return to the status quo before the latest war
is not an option.
As EU foreign ministers held an urgent
meeting in Brussels about global conicts,
Hamas negotiators met with the Islamic mili-
tant groups leadership in Qatar to discuss a
proposal for a long-term truce with Israel. An
ofcial said the group was inclined to accept
the Egyptian-mediated offer.
The Gaza blockade remains the main stum-
bling block. It has greatly limited the move-
ment of Palestinians in and out of the territo-
ry of 1.8 million people, restricted the ow of
goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all
exports.
The EU is prepared to play a strong role
in managing the crossings while assuring
that Israels security is guaranteed, said the
28-nation blocs foreign policy chief,
Catherine Ashton.
The EU offered to reactivate and extend its
monitoring of the Rafah crossing with Egypt
and other border posts, provided there will be
a U.N. Security Council mandate for the mis-
sion and a sustainable cease-re in place. In
addition, the EU says Israel must lift its
blockade to allow a fundamental improve-
ment in the living conditions for the
Palestinian people in Gaza.
The EU foreign ministers said the bloc is
also prepared to prevent arms smuggling and
launch a training program for Palestinian
Authority police and customs ofcers to be
deployed in Gaza.
The situation in the Gaza Strip has been
unsustainable for many years and a return to
the status quo prior to the latest conict is not
an option, they said.
Israel and Hamas are observing a ve-day
temporary cease-re in an attempt to allow
indirect talks in Cairo to continue. The nego-
tiations are meant to secure a substantive end
to the monthlong Gaza war and draw up a
roadmap for the coastal territory, which has
been hard-hit in the ghting.
Hamas is demanding the lifting of the
blockade Israel and Egypt imposed after the
militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007.
The proposal is believed to include the lift-
ing of some restrictions, with Western-
backed Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas forces assuming responsibility for
border crossings under new arrangements
with Egypt.
Israeli ofcials have said little about the
negotiations, saying only that the countrys
security needs must be met.
Representatives of Palestinian factions in
Cairo said progress was being made. AHamas
ofcial said his group had all but accepted the
offer and was currently nalizing the word-
ing.
EU:Status quo for
Gaza not an option
Tens of thousands hold
anti-PM rally in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD Tens of thousands of anti-
government protesters gathered in
Pakistans capital Islamabad late Friday in
the pouring rain following the arrival of con-
voys led by a cricket star-turned-politician
and a ery anti-Taliban cleric.
The twin protests led by Imran Khan and
the cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri represent the biggest
challenge yet to Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharifs year-old government and security
had been tightened across the capital amid
fears of unrest in a country with a long histo-
ry of chaotic politics and military coups.
The protesters left the eastern city of
Lahore on Thursday, vowing to march to the
capital and camp out there until their demands
for a new government are met. Despite the
darkness and the lashing rain, the crowds
swelled as they entered Islamabad shortly
before midnight.
Police estimated some 60,000 people were
taking part in the protest.
The protests were festive despite the rain,
with demonstrators waving national and
party ags and dancing to drum beats and
patriotic songs. Women supporters of Qadri
wearing Islamic headscarves lined the roads
and waved to his convoy as it entered the
city.
As he approached the Islamabad airport,
Khan tweeted that he would stage the sit-in
on the citys main Kashmir Highway. Sharif
should have his resignation ready, he said.
Aspokesman for Qadri, Shahid Mursaleen,
said the cleric would deliver a speech on
Saturday to call for Sharifs removal and
immediate arrest.
Sharif says he is ready to meet with his
opponents but has given no indication that
he would step down. His critics accuse him of
vote fraud during the election that brought
him to power last year.
Sharifs spokesman, Pervaiz Rashid, con-
demned the irresponsible behavior and
actions of his opponents.

Calendar
From his work truck, he lowers a Power-Rooter, a mon-
strous snaking machine hoisted on a dolly with a meter-
long lever and circular metal housing for the snake.
He pushes the rooter onto a driveway on Allerton Drive
and pops off a small plate that exposes a four-inch wide hole
the houses sewer drain.
This is pretty clean compared to some others Ive done,
he said before he ipped the switch.
Del Ben, 40, is a born-and-raised resident of Redwood
City. As a kid, he and his friends would pop in to the
creeks at the west end of Woodside Road and catch frogs all
the way until they would end up at the Bay.
Those were great places to fool around, do what kids do,
he said.
His father, Rich Del Ben Sr., also worked for the city in
the storm department where he still remains, now as a super-
visor; his mother worked as a cashier at Roberts Market on
Woodside Road. His grandfather, Louie Del Ben, immigrated
to Redwood City from Italy back in the 1920s or 1930s (Del
Ben doesnt remember), where he worked for the city in the
water department as a maintenance worker.
I didnt always know Id be working this job, specical-
l y, Del Ben said. But I always knew Id work for the city.
Del Ben went played football at Sequoia High School but,
right after graduation, he had his rst son, Louie, named
after his grandfather.
It was a wake-up call. Everything was out the window
after that, he said, bellying out a laugh.
Two years after that, he had a daughter, Angelina.
For years, Del Ben worked at random, jumping from dif-
ferent construction jobs to working on underground electri-
cal lines doing maintenance.
He decided to take his rst civil service test for a job in the
city where both his father and grandfather worked. He
passed but didnt get the job.
It was hard to get a job back then. They just wanted some-
one else, he said.
But Del Ben went back multiple times. Each time taking
the test again, each time passing and being looked over.
Until one day I nally got it, he said. I just had to go
back enough.
A familiar nemesis
Del Ben guides the snake down through the driveways
sewer drain. The drain for this house, specically, only goes
down about 3 feet, but all the drains in this neighborhood
go out into the main sewer line along Standish Street.
He pushes the lever forward and the snake slowly dives
into the drain. After a minute, it stops.
Its hitting something right now, he said.
He grabs the snake and pushes the lever forward again,
slowly this time. The snake rears and arches up like a cobra.
Del Ben guides his hand to the back toward the rooter, which
shakes for a bit before the snake shoots down deeper into
the drain, unclogging the pipe.
Afew more times of this and Del Ben decides its clear of
any debris. He reverses the lever and the snake coils back
into its metal home. At the end of the snake, snagged and
wrapped around its ve-ngered claw is the culprit: baby
wipes and tree roots.
Unlike San Franciscos drainage system that share both
sewage and storm water, Redwood City has two separate
pipelines.
The storm drains wash out into the creeks, like those
among Redwood Avenue, which lead out to the Bay and
marshlands running along the eastern side of Bayshore
Drive and Highway 101 up to Redwood Shores. The sewage
system, 193 miles of old terra cotta pipes and newly placed
plastic and clay PVC pipes that run throughout the city, is
treated separately before being drained into the Bay.
The two independent systems work ne, so long as the
sewage pipes remain clear. Abackup in the sewage can result
in overow into the storm drains which then contaminates
the water leading to the Bay.
Del Ben dealt with this a few years back when a manhole
was overowing onto a street with sewage and was ooding
the storm drains. While the team at the storm department
had to track down the sewage before it hit the Bay and clear
it all out, Del Ben had to call in and ght water with water,
using a pressure hose to clear out the blockage in the man-
hole.
That was really bad, he said.
Whereas most ooding like this is uncommon, the citys
terra cotta pipes still remain problematic.
Terra Cotta piping has long been used for sewers, and nor-
mally last for up to 100 years, but the pipes arent very
durable longer than that.
Sometimes the pipes just disintegrate, said Assistant
Public Works Director Terence Kyaw.
But the biggest challenge to Public Works are tree roots
which oftentimes break through the piping and can even
shatter the pipes completely.
In cases like this, the city has an emergency system to
replace small portions of pipes with PVC pipes. There is
also $2 million set aside for replacing terra cotta pipes, but
its unknown how much piping needs to be replaced, Kyaw
said.
We go bit by bit, Kyaw said.
The comfort zone
Until then, the Band-Aid solution is workers like Del
Ben. He is one of two full-time employees for the city who
go around, day and night, to unblock the roots in sewer
lines. For nine years, before clearing pipes, he was one of
the men who would be swapping and repairing them for
PVC.
Sometimes you get a call around three, four in the morn-
ing, he said. You just gotta get to it.
For Del Ben, the job may not be glamorous, but it gives
him time for his family.
He works four 10-hour days, which allows him to be at
home on weekends to spend time with his three children
who still live with him, including a 3-month-old baby boy,
Liam.
Sometimes its kinda difcult, with a newborn and every-
thing, he said, driving down a hilly tree-lined street. But
you just gotta make it happen.
He nds solace in his work truck, driving it all day from 7
a.m. to 5:30 p.m., checking manholes and clearing sewage
pipes. This is his comfort zone, he calls it.
Having three generations behind him, Del Ben said hes
proud of his job and has no complaints. In fact, it was a
dream job for him since that day when he nally got called
into to work for the city.
From my rst day, I knew I wanted to be in this truck, he
said. I knew it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont let anyone hold
you back. Rely on your knowledge and ability to get
ahead. Act on your instinct, and refrain from believing
everything you hear.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You need to take care
of your responsibilities. An important opportunity
will slip through your fingers if you are too
distracted by emotional issues to pay attention to
what really matters.

tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: JOHANNA J. DeTOMA-
SI. A Petition for Probate has been filed

bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the

ister the estate under the Independent

ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted

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: September 23,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California at its regu-
lar meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, starting at 7:00 p.m. at 1555 Crystal Springs Blvd (the
Senior Center), San Bruno, will hold a Public Hearing regarding adoption of three ordinances to
amend the Municipal Code to implement Housing Element programs pursuant state housing ele-
ment law, Government Code (section 65580-65590). The City Council will consider taking the fol-
lowing actions, summarized as follows:
Hold Public Hearing, waive reading, and adopt three ordinances to: (1) add Chapter 12.240 to es-
tablish a Reasonable Accommodation Process for persons with disabilities; (2) add Chapter
12.250 to establish a Density Bonus Program; and (3) amend Section 12.80.445 to add Transi-
tional Housing and Supportive Housing as permitted uses within the definition of Special Resi-
dential Care Facility.
Ordinance Summary:
The Citys current 2007-2014 Housing Element includes three programs designed to implement
state law requirements and to support the City goal to plan for decent housing and a suitable liv-
ing environment to meet the existing and project housing needs of all economic segments of the
community. State law requires the City to adopt these changes during the current Housing Ele-
ment cycle. The three ordinances are summarized below:
Reasonable accommodations. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to establish a proce-
dure to make reasonable accommodations (i.e., modifications or exceptions) that afford disabled
persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
Density bonus. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to incorporate State Density Bonus
Law into the land use code, including defining incentives such as reductions in open space and
setbacks, etc. The law allows developers who offer affordable units in their developments a densi-
ty bonus, enabling the construction of more units than the zoning ordinance would typically per-
mit, as well as incentives and waivers for reductions in development standards to facilitate the
construction of affordable units.
Transitional and supportive housing. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code definition of
special residential care facilities to include transitional and supportive housing, allowed by right
in residential zones. Transitional housing is defined as rental housing, which may be designated
for homeless individuals or families transitioning to permanent housing, for stays of at least six
months and re-circulated to another program recipient after a set period. Supportive housing has
no limit on the length of stay, is linked to onsite or offsite services, and is occupied by a target
population such as low income persons with physical or mental disabilities.
If you challenge the above ordinance in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you
or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence
delivered to the City Council at, or prior to, the public hearing.
The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment. Please call (650) 616-7074 with any
questions.
Certification and Posting:
A copy of the full text of proposed ordinance is available in the City Clerks Office, 567 El Camino
Real, in San Bruno, California.
