Dirty floors and animals drop-
pings are still pretty good red
flags a food establishment might
be turning customers' stomachs
but San Mateo County health offi-
cials are now taking a more holis-
tic approach to food safety and
facility inspections.
Are sick employees allowed to
work? Is chicken thawed in a mop
sink? How are decisions made
whether to toss food at the end of
the night or let it stick around?
Does everybody wash their hands
— constantly?
In a move away from the his-
toric approach of visual inspec-
tions, San Mateo County
Environmental Health Services
now uses a risk-based system that
includes how the food is prepared
and that managers and workers are
properly educated on how to keep
illness at bay.
"We really like to follow the
path of the food from the back
door and watch or have its path
explained. How do they accept it?
Are temperatures and conditions
logged? Does it go into the cooler
immediately? It's the chance to
identify and help the facility iden-
tify the possible links in that
chain of the food-borne process,"
said Environmental Health
Director Dean Peterson.
The county began looking at a
change about four to five years ago
with plans to reduce the number of
illnesses and about three years ago
in earnest started making actual
changes based on the Food and
Drug Administration's own com-
prehensive risk-based approach.
The changes include placing
food establishments in one of
three risk categories which either
decreases or increases the number
of annual inspections, adjusts fees
for those inspections and give
inspectors the chance to form bet-
ter relationships with owners,
Peterson said.
The inspection fee adjustments
began Jan. 1. Previously, any of
the county's 4,000-plus establish-
ments paid the same amount and
were slated for unannounced
inspections the same number of
times each year — a lofty three to

Education in San Carlos in the
coming five years will include
changes ranging from spaces that
can easily allow classes to take the
lessons outside to project-based
learning that prepares students to
use technology while still sup-
porting teamwork.
The five-year strategic plan,
which was recently approved by
the San Carlos School District
Board of Trustees, is a guide for the
vision of educating students.
Since the district has mostly char-
ter schools, it can be more flexible
in how it meets state and federal
mandates. The updated plan covers
not only the vision for curriculum
but also support for teachers and

An original Fiat Cinquecento
500 is on the car lift and a couple
of Mercedes 300SL roadsters are
parked in the front. A Jaguar
XK150 coupe is in the center —
making Burlingame Motors seem
like a vintage car museum.
From the 1960s Batmobile to
Steve McQueen's 1972 300 SL,
many rare classic cars have passed
through the doors of Burlingame
Motors. Anyone walking into the
shop feels an "appreciation for the
craftsmanship of a bygone time,"
said Burlingame Motors manager
Rene Wiegand.
Wiegand, with the assistance of
the other mechanics, has helped
shape the repair shop into one of
the most successful classic car
maintenance and restoration
shops for the last 14 years.
Burlingame Motors is a family-run
shop that has been around since
1979 servicing some of the most
elegant vintage European cars on
the road. It is partnered with
California Classics located right
across the shop on Rollins Road
just north of Broadway, which
does all the metal and paint work

Father jailed for fiery deaths
The San Gregorio father who pleaded
no contest to involuntary manslaugh-
ter in the 2004 arson-related deaths of
his two young sons will serve approx-
imately seven months in prison
before being freed, it was announced
the week of July 5, 2008.
Charles Edward Schuttloffel, Sr. 37,
received a three-year sentence on
Thursday of that week on two counts of
involuntary manslaughter over his
attorney's protestations
that he'd suffered and
served enough time already.
Despite the multi-year
term, Schuttloffel, Sr. ,
only had approximately seven months
left to serve. He became eligible for
parole after serving 50 percent of his
sentence and had accumulated substan-
tial credit since his March 2007 arrest.
Schuttloffel also received two years
prison for a methamphetamine pos-
session charge filed two years after the
School negotiations locked
Salary negotiations between teach-
ers and the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District the week
of July 5, 2008 reached a complete
standstill — beginning the final
stages of contract negotiations.
After months of negotiations, the
administration and teachers reached a
stalemate on salary in April 2008. No
progress was made between the two
sides resulting in a call for fact finding
that week. This mediation process
brought in an outsider who examines
the district's finances and considers
the claims of both sides before putting
forth a recommendation.
County Styrofoam ban begins
Styrofoam food
containers became a
thing of the past for
county-operated food
outlets the week of July 5,
2008 when an ordinance outlawing
polystyrene took effect.
The ordinance only governed opera-
tions under the county's control — the
San Mateo Event Center, the San
Mateo Medical Center and associated
clinics and all government buildings.
The ordinance prohibited county
departments from buying and using
polystyrene foam and solid disposable
food service products. The ordinance
also required the use of "biodegrad-
able, compostable, reusable or recy-
clable food service ware."
Trauma center talks arise
Before the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation builds its hospital in San
Carlos, a Belmont councilman the
week of July 5, 2008 wanted to make
sure it includes plans for the county's
first trauma center.
Councilman Bill Dickenson asked
the rest of the Belmont City Council
to get behind his idea to push for a
trauma center at the new hospital.
San Mateo County, with four hospi-
tals, does not have a designated trau-
ma center for the severely injured.
Critical patients are instead rushed to
either Stanford Medical
Center or San Francisco
General Hospital.
Dickenson was not the
first to suggest San Mateo County
have its own trauma center. The idea
is raised every few years in various
cities, but county emergency medical
service officials contend there are
not enough annual trauma cases to
sustain such a center — and the
required personnel — within San
Mateo County.
San Francisco General Hospital
has served as the Level 1 Trauma
Center for the north county since
1998. Stanford Medical Center
serves as a Level 1 Trauma Center for
the south county. Nearly all critical-
ly injured patients in San Mateo
County are either rushed via ambu-
lance or airlifted to one of the two

NEW YORK — Joey Chestnut
downed 69 franks and devoured his
own record in the men's Fourth of
July hot dog eating contest while
Sonya Thomas defended her title
in the women's competition.
The San Jose man known as
Jaws ate one more wiener than his

Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo
known as the "Black Widow" of
competitive eating, wolfed down
nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke
out her own victory.
Chestnut, 29, is a seven-time
winner who set the old record —
68 hot dogs and buns in 10 min-
utes — in 2009 and tied it last
year. Thomas, 45, powered
through 45 dogs to take the
women's championship last year
and also won in 2011, the first
year women competed separately
Chestnut, who weighs 210
pounds, had said his pace was
uneven in the past, but "this year
I'm trying to eat a little more
gracefully, conserve my energy. "
Second-place finisher was Matt

SAN FRANCISCO — One
moment 18-year-old Lizzie Moore
was eating pancakes and talking to
fellow staff at a summer camp near
Yosemite National Park. The next
she heard a cracking sound and
screams and looked up to see the
top of a tree coming crashing
toward her.
"If I hadn't moved, I don't think
I'd be able to speak to you right
now"' Moore said on Thursday from
her hospital room in Modesto.
Moore was pinned by a branch and
suffered five broken ribs and a frac-
tured elbow and vertebrae when
about 40 feet of a large, 53-inch
diameter black oak tree snapped off
on Wednesday morning at Camp
Tawonga near Groveland, Calif.
The falling tree top killed 21-
year-old camp art counselor Annais
Rittenberg and injured Moore and
three others.
Two of the injured adults were
treated and released. A third, Cara
Sheedy, was in good condition at
another hospital in Modesto, a
nursing supervisor said.
No children were harmed. They
were inside a nearby dining hall
having breakfast. The tree took
down power lines, but did not dam-
age any buildings.
Moore said she had heard shot-
guns in the distance at the camp
before, but nothing like the crack-
ing noise of the tree.
"At first I was really not sure at all
what was happening," she said. "I
heard some commotion, some
screaming and then I ended up seeing
the top of the tree moving around a
lot, and then I saw it fall."
She was knocked unconscious and
said she does not remember much of
what happened afterward.
The tree snapped about 32 feet
from the ground, according to
Tuolumne County Sheriff's
spokesman Sgt. James Oliver.
Oliver said sheriff's officials don't
plan any further investigation into
what caused the tree to fall. Because
of the nearby power lines, authori-
ties said Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
was responsible for annual inspec-
tions of the oak tree.
PG&E officials who looked at the
tree's stump on Wednesday said the
tree showed no obvious signs of rot-
ting or disease, Oliver said. Weather
also did not appear to be a factor.
PG&E last inspected the area
where the tree fell in December
2012, spokesman Brian Swanson
said. During such inspections, the
utility looks for tree limbs growing
close to power lines and obvious
signs of decay or defects in trees
around them.

LOS ANGELES — County probation offi-
cials say they aren't consistently getting
required notice about inmates being released
to their supervision, making it harder to
monitor felons and potentially endangering
the public.
The late notice puts additional pressure
on an overburdened criminal justice system
where county offices are underfunded and
understaffed. Officials worry convicted
felons are ending up on the streets without
anyone helping or keeping an eye on them.
"You can't watch somebody if you don't
know you have to be watching somebody, "
said Karen Pank, executive director of the
Chief Probation Officers of California.
"Notice is really important, and logistical-
ly we need time to get that into the proba-
tion department and assign that case to
somebody. "
The issue came to light when Los Angeles
County probation officials complained they
were given one-day notice in April before
the release of Dustin Kinnear, who's now
accused of stabbing a woman to death on
Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Notification issues were apparently more
problematic immediately after the state's
criminal justice realignment program, or
AB 109, took effect in October 2011 to
meet a federal court order to reduce
California's prison population. The law
sends some criminals whose violations
weren't serious, violent, or sexual to coun-
ty jail instead of state prisons and releases
those types of inmates on county probation
instead of state parole.
Because it can take probation officers
weeks to review the inmate's criminal
background, mental health history and
prison records, the law requires the
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to send counties a thorough
case file on each inmate at least 30 days
before their release.
Corrections spokesman Luis Patino said
delays can occur after a short prison sen-
tence, which makes it difficult to process
paperwork in time, or when county courts
haven't sent enough information on offend-
ers to the state, which is what he said hap-
pened with Kinnear.
"We do everything we can to try to give
the counties as much lead time as we can,"
Patino said. "Sometimes it's not just phys-
ically possible."
The department used to give its own
parole agency at least 120 days to process
inmates before their release, and has aimed
to do the same for counties, Patino said.
But probation officials in the counties
that supervise the largest numbers of ex-
cons say they don't always receive informa-
tion a month in advance.
Los Angeles estimates it gets 15 to 20
percent of its 500 inmate notifications late
each month; San Diego estimates 14 per-
cent of its 130 inmate notices are tardy; and
San Bernardino finds it happens in 5 percent
of its 150 cases, according to officials in
those counties.
In some instances, they receive notice
the day before an inmate's release, the day
of their release, or once the convict is on
the streets.
In the case of Kinnear, 26, who's charged
with murder in the killing of Christine
Calderon last month after she refused to pay
him for taking his photo panhandling, it's
not clear that a lack of notice would have
made a difference.
He didn't report to the county probation
office as required and then was in and out of
jail after several other arrests.
Patino said state prisons never got a com-
plete court file on Kinnear, so they didn't
determine he was eligible for probation
until days before his release, delaying noti-
fication to the county.
Getting the information on time is the
first step in keeping an offender on the right
track, said Ryken Grattet, a researcher on
corrections policy for the Public Policy
Institute of California. Those first days after
release require consistent supervision.
Probation in the dark on some inmates
Probation officials in the counties that
supervise the largest numbers of ex-cons say
they don't always receive information a
month in advance.
Ex-US border inspector
sentenced in bribery case
SAN DIEGO — A former U.S. border
inspector has been sentenced to 12 years in
prison for taking more than $50,000 to
wave drug-laden vehicles from Mexico

Oscar Osbaldo Ortiz Martinez was sen-

ATLANTA — When the U.S. Supreme
Court gutted the Voting Rights act last
week, it handed Republicans tough ques-
tions with no easy answers over how, and
where, to attract voters even GOP leaders
say the party needs to stay nationally com-
The decision caught Republicans between
newfound state autonomy that conserva-
tives covet and the law's popularity among
minority, young and poor voters who tend
to align with Democrats. It's those voters
that Republicans are eyeing to expand and
invigorate the GOP's core of older, white
National GOP Chairman Reince Priebus
began that effort well before the court's
decision by promising, among other initia-
tives, to hire non-white party activists to
engage directly with black and Latino vot-
ers. Yet state and national Republicans
reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision
with a flurry of activity and comments that
may not fit neatly into the national party's
Congressional leaders must decide
whether to try to rewrite the provision the
court struck, but it's not clear how such an
effort would fare in the Democratic-led
Senate and the GOP-controlled House. And
at the state level, elected Republicans are
enacting tighter voting restrictions that
Democrats blast as harmful to their tradi-
tional base of supporters and groups the
Republicans say they want to attract.
States like North Carolina and Virginia
provide apt examples of the potential fall-
An influx of non-whites have turned those
Republican strongholds into battlegrounds
in the last two presidential elections, and
minority voters helped President Barack
Obama win both states in 2008 and Virginia
again in 2012.

lost among African-Americans by about 85
percentage points and Latinos by about 44

PRESCOTT, Ariz. — They remembered
the Fourth, but also the 19.
At Bistro St. Michael on Whiskey Row in
this old West town, 19 candles burned beneath
red, white and blue bunting, one for each fire-
fighter killed last weekend battling a wildfire
not far from the place they called home.
In a quiet neighborhood near the high
school, which at least five of them attended,
19 miniature U.S. flags were planted in front
yards, each pole tied with the purple ribbon
that commemorates fallen firefighters.
At the makeshift memorial on the fence
that wrapped around the elite Hotshots fire-
fighting team's headquarters, people left 19
potted plants, 19 pinwheels, 19 handwrit-
ten cards, 19 religious candles.
On a day meant to ponder the nation's
birth, and those who built and defended it
over 237 years, Prescott's residents had 19
of their neighbors, their friends, their rela-
tives to remember.
"I just wanted to thank them and let them
know that they're heroes and that they're
missed," said Susan Reynolds, who hung a
piece of fabric with an expression of thanks
on a string of panels that hung like a prayer
flag on the fence.
Away from the celebrations, public
memorials and the fireworks planned for
later Thursday, some of the fallen firefight-
ers' families were quietly trying to come to
terms with their own personal loss.
Occasionally, relatives would emerge to
speak about the fallen.
"There's no celebration today," said
Laurie McKee, whose 21-year-old nephew,
Grant McKee, died in the fire. "We're doing
OK, but it's still up and down."
McKee's father and aunt picked up items
recovered from his truck on Wednesday
night, and were comforted when the fire
chief told them that Grant McKee had been
part of "the Navy Seals of firefighting," his
aunt said. His family was planning to spend
the day at home, visiting with relatives fly-
ing in for his funeral.

NEW YORK — The Statue of Liberty
reopened on the Fourth of July, eight
months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered
the national symbol of freedom, as
Americans around the country celebrated
with fireworks and parades and President
Obama urged citizens to live up to the words
of the Declaration of Independence.
Hundreds lined up Thursday to be among
the first to board boats destined for Lady
Liberty, including New Yorker Heather
Leykam and her family.
"This, to us, Liberty Island, is really
about a rebirth," said Leykam, whose moth-
er's home was destroyed during the storm.
"It is a sense of renewal for the city and the
country. We wouldn't have missed it for the
Nationwide, Boston prepared to host its
first large gathering since the marathon
bombing that killed three and injured hun-
dreds, and Philadelphia, Washington and
New Orleans geared up for large holiday
concerts. A Civil War reenactment com-
memorating the 150th anniversary of the
Battle of Gettysburg drew as many as
40,000 people to Pennsylvania. In
Arizona, sober tributes were planned for 19
firefighters who died this week battling a
blaze near Yarnell.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, speaking
at the reopening of the Statue of Liberty,
choked up as she told the crowd she was
wearing a purple ribbon in memory of the
fallen firefighters.
"Nineteen firefighters lost their lives in
the line of duty, and we as a nation stand
together," she said through tears.
The island was decorated with star-span-
gled bunting, but portions remain blocked
off with large construction equipment, and
the main ferry dock was boarded up. Repairs
to brick walkways and docks were ongoing.
But much of the work has been completed
since Sandy swamped the 12-acre island in
New York Harbor, and visitors were
"It's stunning, it's beautiful," said
Elizabeth Bertero, 46, of California's
Sonoma County. "They did a great job
rebuilding. You don't really notice that any-
thing happened."
The statue itself was unharmed, but the
land took a beating. Railings broke, docks
and paving stones were torn up and build-
ings were flooded. The storm destroyed elec-
trical systems, sewage pumps and boilers.
Hundreds of National Park Service workers
from as far away as California and Alaska
spent weeks cleaning mud and debris.
"It is one of the most enduring icons of
America, and we pulled it off — it's open
today," National Park Service Director
Jonathan Jarvis said. "Welcome."
The statue was open for a single day last
year — Oct. 28, the day before Sandy
struck. It had been closed the previous year
for security upgrades. Neighboring Ellis
Island remains closed and there has been no
reopening date set.
In his weekly radio address from
Washington, Obama urged Americans to
work to secure liberty and opportunity for
their own children and future generations.
The first family was to host U.S. servicemen
and women at the White House for a cook-
Atlanta and Alaska planned holiday runs
— thousands were racing up a 3,022-foot
peak in Seward. In New Orleans, the Essence

during parades. I
n Edmond, Okla., a boy died after being
run over by a float near the end of the town's
LibertyFest parade. In Bangor, Maine, the
driver of a tractor in the parade was killed
after the vehicle was struck by an old fire
In Boston, attendance for the city's cele-
bration appeared down, with crowds on the
Charles River Esplanade seeming smaller
than in recent years while a robust law
enforcement presence greeted revelers gath-
ering for a performance by the Boston Pops
and a fireworks display.
Among those at Boston's festivities was
Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy hat-wearing
marathon attendee who became part of one
of the indelible images of the bombings'
aftermath: helping rush a badly wounded
man from the scene in a wheelchair, his legs
torn to pieces.

WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama and his national
security team tread delicately
Thursday in the aftermath of the
ouster of Egyptian President
Mohammed Morsi, urging the
restive nation to quickly return
authority to a democratically elect-
ed civilian government and avoid
violence. The administration still
declined to take sides in the
volatile developments as Egypt's
military installed an interim gov-
ernment leader.

room for brief-
ings on their
calls to Egyptian leaders and other
partners in the region, National
Security Council spokeswoman
Bernadette Meehan said in a state-
The carefully worded messages
from the U.S. officials conveyed
"the importance of a quick and
responsible return of full authority
to a democratically elected civilian
government as soon as possible,"
Meehan said.
The series of calls by Secretary
of State John Kerry, Secretary of
Defense Chuck Hagel and national
security adviser Susan Rice went to
officials from Egypt, Israel, Qatar,
Turkey and Norway.
The U.S. officials also urged a
transparent political process in
Egypt and the avoidance of "any
arbitrary arrests of President Morsi
and his supporters," Meehan said.
The delicate diplomacy high-
lights difficult policy choices for
the administration:
• Denounce the ouster of Morsi
outright, and the U.S. could be
accused of propping up a ruler
who's lost the public's support.
It's a prospect with eerie echoes of
autocrat Hosni Mubarak, whom the
U.S. supported for decades before
the 2011 revolution that cleared
the path to power for Morsi and his
Muslim Brotherhood.
• Look the other way, and the
U.S. could be accused of fomenting
dissent or lose credibility on its
commitment to the democratic
The administration is acting as
if it accepts what happened in
Egypt — and actually believes it
could turn out for the best with the
Islamist Morsi no longer in
charge. At the same time, officials
are attempting to keep their dis-
tance, laying down markers for
what they want to see in the long
term while leaving it up to the
military to make sure that hap-

CAIRO — Egypt's military
moved swiftly Thursday against
senior figures of the Muslim
Brotherhood, targeting the back-
bone of support for ousted President
Mohammed Morsi. In the most dra-
matic step, authorities arrested the
group's revered leader from a seaside
villa and flew him by helicopter to
detention in the capital.
With a top judge newly sworn in
as interim president to replace
Morsi, the crackdown poses an
immediate test to the new army-
backed leadership's promises to
guide Egypt to democracy: The
question of how to include the 83-
year-old fundamentalist group.
That question has long been at
the heart of democracy efforts in
Egypt. Hosni Mubarak and previ-
ous authoritarian regimes banned
the group, raising cries even from
pro-reform Brotherhood critics
that it must be allowed to partici-
pate if Egypt was to be free. After
Mubarak's fall, the newly legal-
ized group vaulted to power in
elections, with its veteran mem-
ber Morsi becoming the country's
first freely elected president.
Now the group is reeling under a
huge backlash from a public that
says the Brotherhood and its
Islamist allies abused their elec-
toral mandate. The military forced
Morsi out Wednesday after mil-
lions of Egyptians nationwide
turned out in four days of protests
demanding he be removed.
Adly Mansour, the head of the
Supreme Constititonal Court,
with which Morsi had repeated
confrontations, was sworn in as
interim president.
In his inaugural speech, broad-
cast nationwide, he said the anti-
Morsi protests that began June 30
had "corrected the path of the glo-
rious revolution of Jan. 25," refer-
ring to the 2011 uprising that top-
pled Mubarak.
To cheers from his audience, he
also praised the army, police,
media and judiciary for standing
against the Brotherhood.
Islamists saw those institutions
as full of Mubarak loyalists trying
to thwart their rule.
Furious over what it calls a mili-
tary coup against democracy, the
Brotherhood said it would not
work with the new leadership. It
and harder-line Islamist allies
called for a wave of protests
Friday, dubbing it the "Friday of
Rage," vowing to escalate if the
military does not back down.
There are widespread fears of
Islamist violence in retaliation
for Morsi's ouster, and already
some former militant extremists
have vowed to fight .

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan took a
major step toward averting an eco-
nomic crisis Thursday, reaching an
initial deal with the International
Monetary Fund on a bailout of at least
$5.3 billion to help shore up the coun-

The announcement should help calm
fears of financial instability in
Pakistan, a nuclear-armed nation of
180 million people that is also grap-
pling with rampant violence by
Islamic militants. But the deal man-
dates economic reforms that may be
unpopular with Pakistanis.
Pakistan is a vital ally of the United
States, the most powerful member of
the IMF, which relies on Islamabad's
help to fight Taliban and al-Qaida mil-
itants and negotiate peace in neigh-
boring Afghanistan. Analysts predict-
ed U.S. pressure would be key to seal-
ing a deal.
The agreement comes less than six
years after Pakistan's last IMF bailout,

this time was to repay the institution
nearly $5 billion that Islamabad still
Pakistan's previous government
failed to implement many of the
requirements of the last loan, includ-
ing reducing the deficit and improving

BART – Fairness to
taxpayers and riders?
We as taxpayers and riders have
invested hundreds of billions of dol-
lars to build the BARTsystem. Our
motivations were varied but likely
included reduced use of our cars, inter-
nal combustion engines, reduction of
petroleum consumption, improved air
quality, relieve capacity constrictions
on our freeways and the cost of travel-
ing to our employment and entertain-
Press reports have observed that
those who drive the BARTtrains earn
in excess of $100,000 per year, sug-
gesting that we have invested in cre-
ating highly paid jobs. This for a
effort less than those who drive
empty buses, at least in San Mateo
County they are often empty. I say
less effort since a BARTdriver does
not need to steer due to the rails, nor
interface with riders as they do not
need to collect fares and there is no
other traffic in the rail system. This
before considering the restricted jani-
torial jobs that require two job
descriptions to clear debris from
I support that reasonable employee
grievances need to be fairly
addressed. This can be addressed
through mediation or other non-
expropriation methods.
If we are to invest in such high-cost
projects can we not insulate ourselves
from a strike that holds our invest-
ment hostage to well-paid employ-
ees? If our public sector cannot find a
way to preclude us from being held
hostage to union strikes (think civil
service and safety unions that are
restricted from striking) I will find it
increasingly difficult to support future
public works projects.

By Linda Koelling
he results of global climate
change spawned myriad poli-
cies designed by powerful
political insiders and single-issue
groups to move forward with their
plan that will significantly change
the governance structure of the Bay
Nuance buzz phrases like "sustain-
ability," "sustainable communities'
strategies" and "going green," created
a new level of thinking in an effort to
convince us, the unsuspecting public
that we are protecting the environ-
ment and resources for future genera-
tions. Now let me make it very clear
that we absolutely have a responsibil-
ity to conserve and protect our
resources as stewards for future gener-
ations, however, there are those who
have used this opportunity to mask a
dangerous trend for the major metro-
politan areas in the state in the name
of environment, economics and equi-
t y.
"Plan Bay Area" is carefully pack-
aged with worthy goals and objec-
tives but with an underlying agenda. I
wonder how many residents know
about it, who devised it, what are its
impacts and its real purpose? These
are questions for local leaders to
answer. Outreach efforts by county
supervisors have been an admirable
attempt to educate residents about the
proposed plan for the entire Bay Area
inclusive of all nine counties.
However, I have met too many people
who are unaware of this plan to be
convinced this outreach effort has
been successful.
San Mateo County and its individ-
ual cities are working on sustainable
community plans, to conserve and
protect resources and create affordable
housing, so what is the purpose, or
for that matter, what is the need for a
Bay Area wide
plan? Who will be
overseeing this
elaborate plan, its
cost and where will
the funding come
from to sustain it?
More importantly,
who are the real
benefactors? The
plan is huge and is focused on trans-
portation opportunities, which is
why the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission will have so much
authority and control of the funds.
Looking at state Senate Bill 375
and the proposed bills currently mak-
ing their way in the state Legislature,
one could presume that developers
will benefit greatly, from a stream-
lined California Environmental
Quality Act process when building
near transit hubs.
This Plan Bay Area is so potentially
life changing that the public should
be voting on it and not allowing just
the few political power brokers to
serve up the "feel good" pieces of this
puzzle in an effort to determine what
life will be like in our area.
Over the years, the landscape
around our own county has been con-
stantly changing from a suburban
atmosphere to a more urban environ-
ment but, throughout its history, the
voters in each community have
designed their own destiny.
The marketing efforts displaying
the positive components of the plan
provides a surreal picture similar to
the movie "The Truman show" which
depicted a pleasing and controlled
environment. Let's face it, no one
would dispute having transit close to
home, or the ability to walk or ride a
bike to work and have more affordable
housing. Public transportation, link-
ing the Bay Area more efficiently and
with some of the other parts of this
plan, I will attest that the bait on the
hook is tempting.
Beyond this facade is the real con-
cern, the loss of local control. It will
further distance the few in power from
the citizens whose lives they will
control. Aside from this plan's
expense involving all nine Bay Area
counties, it will evolve into the even-
tual creation of a Bay Area wide gov-
ernance structure to make sure all
communities look and act alike.
The counties of San Mateo, Contra
Costa, Marin, Alameda, Sonoma,
Napa, Santa Clara, San Francisco and
Solano are all unique and provide a
variety of opportunities for those
who choose to live there but are being
forced to participate in this one-size-
fits-all plan.
When power is concentrated in the
hands of a few appointed individuals
to act on behalf of such a large popu-
lation, the people are further removed
from their ability to have a voice. At
that point we have relinquished all
control to a few.
I have touched on the tip of the ice-
berg. On the surface, there are some
reasonable goals but the concern lies
in the underlying agenda of this vast
and very expensive plan. Study the
plan, read Senate Bill 375, its genesis
and be better informed. There's little
transparency, yet it moves steadily
forward. Call upon local political
leaders to explain all the pieces to
this complex puzzle and slow the
momentum until everyone in the Bay
Area is able to understand its full
impact. I believe that Plan Bay Area
is nothing more than a "Trojan

other pastures. Or, to quote another coworker who might be
considered the bass player of the
ragtag Daily Journal garage crew,
she is breaking up the band.
You can't toil away with some-
body in close proximity for so
many years and not think of them
as something other than a co-
worker. Even before you dance at
their wedding or play the "I got
this one, don't worry about it"
game over coffee runs, you learn
the little quirks and routines that
only come with spending a hefty
amount of time together.
Adislike of cheesecake? Really?
But who am I to judge? She is the one always quick to offer
fruit around the news room with the caveat that she'd cer-
tainly pass the plate to my corner but, as they are my
abhorred strawberries, it kind of defeats the purpose.
On Heather's computer, now stripped bare of photos and
notes in preparation for her replacement, she once had a
headline snipped from a landscaping article — "Heather
adds cheer — in moderation." But for the Heather who held
court over school funding and Tom the Tree debacles with
equal aplomb, the cheer went far beyond moderation. To
paraphrase one of our common sources in the community,
Heather is the princess of happiness and light to balance
out my queen of darkness, cynicism and black-tinged heart.
When Heather told me of her likely leaving, my response
was quick. Would you still pick me up doorside at the paper
for joint assignments, coffee cup in tow and directions
already programmed into the GPS? She claims Caltrain
commuting in her future precludes her from the duty. Likely
What I should have asked instead is will you still do all
the things I appreciate like beat me checking out the court
filings on some mornings or send me more column topic
ideas than I can possibly tackle or do justice to. School
spanking a few months back — that suggestion was all her.
Because I can't think of anyone frankly who knows more
about the intricacies of schools than her and I also can't
think of somebody else so willing to share in my sense of
the weird or thought-provoking. Following Florida Man on
Twitter? She completely understood why that was the best
idea ever.
Will somebody else set up betting pools on whether a
particular elected official notorious for tardiness will actual-
ly call back by deadline? And then there's girl math — no
offense men of the news room but you just don't understand
taking the price of an item and dividing it by the number of
wears to justify any exorbitant price tag.
Trivia, complete with Price is Right rules for anything
involving a number. Lamenting the lack of usable dry erase
board pens. Understanding the obligation to play Words
With Friends to while away the long council meeting hours.
And the shorthand of time. No matter the job or industry,
anyone who has worked a substantial stretch with another
understands the benefit of saying everything without actual-
ly needing many words. Remember that weird political
forum? Guess who just filed for council? Chloramine.
ACORN. San Bruno. Safeway. Always, Safeway.
Who else will send me the photos of the cutest dogs ever
and not judge me when I suggest my own furry companions
are occasionally jerks. When Ollie, all four pounds of beige
fur, first wiggled his way into my life, I brought him to the
news room. She pounced on taking him for a walk but
Oliver took a page from "The Jerk" and refused to budge.
She was sweet enough to be unhappy. That's the kind of
person Heather is.
The fact she is leaving is not completely shocking. At
some point, all journalists contemplate a world where we
can take the crazy amount of knowledge we learn in this
industry and parlay that into a trade with banker's hours,
wages that make Bay Area housing reachable and holidays
off. I imagine the new schedule will also better accommo-
date her other loves, her husband and Make-A-Wish.
But selfishly all this new job nonsense is not better for
me, the rest of the Daily Journal or the news beats which
Heather made her own. Her replacement will undoubtedly do
the same. We all have a first day somewhere, sometime. In
the meantime, though, all we can hope for is the Heather
Murtagh/Daily Journal reunion tour. I think I speak for
everybody here when I say we wish Heather the best in
everything. Really, though, what we really wish is that she
was sticking around.

NEWYORK — To see how a small busi-
ness can transform a neighborhood, just fol-
low the barrels.
About 30 years ago, beer lovers wanting
to create their own drinks started taking over
abandoned old buildings in rundown city
districts, refitted them with tanks, kettles
and casks, and started churning out beer. The
byproduct was a boom in craft beer drinkers:
Barrels shipped have more than doubled in
the past decade, according to trade publica-
tion Beer Marketer's Insights. Craft beer
now makes up nearly 7 percent of the slow-
growing U.S. beer market.
But beer drinkers weren't the only benefi-
ciaries. The arrival of a craft brewery was
also often one of the first signs that a neigh-
borhood was changing. From New England
to the West Coast, new businesses bubbled
up around breweries, drawing young people
and creating a vibrant community where
families could plant roots and small busi-
nesses could thrive.
It happened in Cleveland. Once an indus-
trial powerhouse, the Rust Belt city has
been losing residents since the 1950s.
Manufacturing jobs disappeared. The city
nearly went bankrupt in 1978.
Marred by abandoned buildings and board-
ed-up stores after several hard decades, the
downtown Ohio City neighborhood, just
west of the Cuyahoga River, which divides
Cleveland, was "perceived as dangerous and
blighted" into the 1980s, says Eric Wobser.
He works for Ohio City Inc., a nonprofit that
promotes residential and commercial devel-
opment while trying to preserve the neigh-
borhood's older buildings.
Enter Great Lakes Brewing, which opened
in 1988. Over the years, it's built a brewery
and a brewpub from structures that once
housed a feed store, a saloon and a livery sta-
"We resurrected all of them," says Pat
Conway, who founded Great Lakes with his
brother, Daniel. "We've beautified the
neighborhood, provided a stunning restora-
Other breweries and businesses — a pasta
maker, a bike shop, a tortilla factory, as well
as restaurants and bars — followed.
Newcomers are flocking to the neighbor-
hood, even though Cleveland's overall pop-
ulation is still declining. The city repaved
the quiet street next to the brewery, Market
Ave., with cobblestones, and poured mil-
lions into renovating the West Side Market,
whose origins date back to the 19th century.
Today, more than 100 vendors sell produce,
meat, cheese and other foods there.
What's going on in Cleveland is happen-
ing across the country. Trendy small busi-
nesses like breweries and younger residents
have been returning to downtown neighbor-
hoods in many cities across the U.S. The
biggest cities are growing faster than the
suburbs around them, according to Census
Another benefit of the brewery boom:
Manufacturers like brewers typically pay
workers more than service businesses like
restaurants or shops do. That's good for
local economies.
But for some, the bubbles are bursting. In
Brooklyn, N.Y., breweries are feeling the
heat from rising real estate costs.
When Brooklyn Brewery opened in the
Williamsburg section of the borough in
1996, its neighbors were mostly deserted
warehouses and factories. Today, Brooklyn
Brewery is surrounded by modern apartment
buildings, trendy bars, shops and restau-
rants. There's still some graffiti, but that
hasn't deterred the influx of new residents
willing to spend a lot of money to live
there. In the past decade, home values in the
Brewery's neighborhood have more than
doubled — up 145 percent, according to real
estate appraiser Miller Samuel.
Rising prices might force Brooklyn
Brewery to exit the trendy scene it jump-
started. It has two buildings in
Williamsburg, the brewery and a building
across the street where it stores and ages its
beer. Leases are up in 2025, and Brooklyn
Brewery's co-founder and president, Steve
Hindy, is already worried that the company
will get kicked out of its warehouse. Once an
iron foundry, the building, built in 1896,
has been bought by developers who Hindy
says won't renew the lease. He suspects that
they want to convert the space into apart-
The landlord, Solomon Jacobs, says he
doesn't yet know what's going to happen
with the lease.
But Hindy is already scouting other,
cheaper neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
"We sowed the seeds of our own demise
here," Hindy says.
Gentrification is pressuring at least one
other nearby brewer. Kelly Taylor, who
owns Kelso, is looking for new space in
Brooklyn or the Bronx because he thinks
his landlord won't renew the lease in 2017.
In Kelso's neighborhood, the Clinton Hill
section of Brooklyn, home prices have
almost doubled over the past 10 years,
according to Miller Samuel data.
"He'll tear down and build something
more lucrative," Taylor says speculatively
of his landlord.
However, the building's manager, Fred
Sanders, says the lease was just renewed last
year for five more years, and he hasn't had any
conversations with Kelso about the future.

SAN FRANCISCO — Struggling Web
game maker Zynga gave new CEO Don
Mattrick a $5 million signing bonus and
stock awards valued at $40 million to lure
him away from his previous job oversee-
ing Microsoft's Xbox console for video
Mattrick's compensation package also
includes a $1 million annual salary and a
guaranteed bonus of about $1 million this
year, according to a regulatory filing
made late Wednesday. Zynga Inc.
announced Mattrick would replace compa-
ny co-founder Mark Pincus as CEO earlier
this week, but didn't detail how much its
new leader would be paid at that time.
Zynga is counting on
Mattrick, 49, to reverse
a steady string of losses
that has caused the com-
pany's stock price to
plunge 66 percent from
its initial public offer-
ing price of $10 in late
The stock closed at
$3. 42 Wednesday. That
price is nearly 20 percent higher than
where the stock stood before the news
broke about Mattrick's defection from
Microsoft Corp., a sign that at least some
investors think he can revive Zynga.
As Mattrick draws up the turnaround
strategy, he will still be working closely
with Pincus, who holds a controlling
stake in Zynga and will remain the San
Francisco company's chairman and chief
product officer.
As with many CEOs, Mattrick's pay
package could be worth a lot more or less,
depending on how his company's stock
fares in the next few years.
Mattrick secured his lucrative deal with
Zynga just a few weeks after the company
laid off more than 500 employees, or
nearly one-fifth of its payroll, to save
Zynga, the maker of once-popular
games such as "Farmville," gave Mattrick
8.9 million shares of restricted stock ini-
tially valued at $25 million to make up for
the some of the compensation he surren-
dered by leaving Microsoft. Those shares
are already worth slightly more on paper,
but they won't vest until July 2016,
according to Zynga's regulatory filing.
Microsoft, which is based in Redmond,
Wash., didn't disclose Mattrick's compen-
sation in its most recent breakdown of its
top-paid executives.
As an additional enticement, Zynga is
giving Mattrick another 1.8 million
shares of its restricted stock valued at $5
million. Mattrick also gets 7.36 million
stock options valued at $10 million.
Zynga promised to enrich Mattrick even
further next year with another batch of
restricted stock valued at $7 million and a
cash bonus ranging from $2 million to $4

CINCINNATI — A rainout at Great
American Ball Park did more than push
Homer Bailey's next attempt at pitching
another no-hitter out of Cincinnati.
It also raised the possibility, San
Francisco manager Bruce Bochy mentioned,
of the Giants and Reds playing a makeup
game at a neutral site.
Thursday's game never got started and was
called after a wait of nearly 2 1-2 hours.
No makeup date was announced. This was
the last day the Giants were scheduled to be in
Cincinnati this season. The Reds visit San
Francisco later this month.
Reds manager Dusty Baker said he would
keep his rotation intact. That would mean
Bailey, who beat the Giants by pitching his
second career no-hitter Tuesday night, would-
n't start Sunday at home against Seattle.
Instead, Bailey would try to match Johnny
Vander Meer's 1938 achievement of pitching
no-hitters in back-to-back starts on Monday
in Milwaukee.
Trying to find a makeup date for two teams
that might be in playoff contention could be
The Reds and Giants are both off Aug. 29.
It would be the first day after the Reds finish a
stretch of 20 games in 20 days and the last
before they play 13 games in 13 days; it is
also San Francisco's only day off between
stretches of playing on 16 and 17 consecu-
tive dates.

LINCOLN, Neb. — If all goes according to
Dennis Molfese's plan, the day is coming
when a football player who takes a hit to the
head will come to the sideline, take off his
helmet and slip on an electrode-covered
mesh cap.
The team's medical staff will analyze the
player's brain waves on the spot and deter-
mine within minutes whether he can safely
return to the game or whether he has sus-
tained a concussion and, if so, how severe.
Putting the finishing touches on that
device is among the projects planned in the
University of Nebraska's Center for Brain,
Biology and Behavior, which opens this
month in Memorial Stadium's newly
expanded east side.
CB3, as it's called, is housed in the same
$55 million structure that holds 38 luxury
suites and an additional 6,000 seats for the
football stadium. The center is one of a num-
ber of university-affiliated research centers
across the nation looking for better ways to
diagnose and treat traumatic head injuries
and make football and other sports safer.
"There has been great concussion research
that's been going on for decades," said
Molfese, the CB3 director. "It's disconcert-
ing to realize just how little we really
know. "

Wimbledon women's final set
Sabine Lisicki, left, and Marion Bartoli celebrate their respective victories during the Wimbledon championships at the All-England Club. Lisicki and Bartoli were seeded No. 23 and No. 15.
By Howard Fendrich
LONDON — Whether in a match, a set, a
game — or even within a single point —
Sabine Lisicki simply cannot be counted
Especially at Wimbledon, where she is
one victory from becoming a Grand Slam
Fashioning the same sort of comeback
she used to eliminate defending titlist
Serena Williams at the All England Club,
the 23rd-seeded Lisicki reached her first
major final by edging No. 4 Agnieska
Radwanska of Poland 6-4, 2-6, 9-7 in a
compelling, back-and-forth match
"I just fought with all my heart," said
Lisicki, who twice was two points away
from losing to 2012 runner-up Radwanska.
"I believed that I could still win, no matter
what the score was."
On Saturday, Lisicki will face 15th-seeded
Marion Bartoli, who took a nap on a locker-
room couch before heading out to Centre
Court and earning a berth in her second
Wimbledon final with a 6-1, 6-2 victory
over No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.
It's only the second time in the 45-year
Open era that two women who have never
won a Grand Slam trophy will play for the
championship at the grass-court tourna-
Germany's Lisicki and France's Bartoli
also form the second-lowest pair of seeded
women to meet for the Wimbledon title. In
2007, Bartoli was No. 18 when she lost to
No. 23 Venus Williams.
"In the beginning of the tournament, no
one, I think, (expected) those names in the
semis or in the finals," Radwanska said.
That's for sure.
In 11 of the past 13 years, one Williams
sister or the other — and sometimes both —
reached the final at the All England Club.
This year, five-time champion Venus sat out
because of a back injury, while five-time
champion Serena's 34-match winning
streak ended with a loss to Lisicki in
Monday's fourth round.
In that match, Lisicki won the first set,
dropped nine games in a row to fall behind
3-0 in the third, and eventually took the last
four games.
In the semifinals, Lisicki won the first
set, dropped nine of 11 games to fall behind
3-0 in the third, and eventually turned it
"I thought, 'I've done it against Serena,
so you can do it today as well. Just hang in
there,"' Lisicki said. "It gave me so much
Some of that derives from a more daunting
recovery. In 2010, she badly injured her left
ankle and missed five months.

1. LOTTO'S LOTTERY: Thursday provided mixed fortunes
and emotions for the Lotto-Belisol squad. The morning
mood was despondent after teamleader Jurgen Van den
Broeck, fourth overall last year, pulled out because of a
crash injury to his knee a day earlier. Tough luck for the
Belgian: He had also dropped out in 2011 after a brutal
downhill spill that left him with broken ribs and a
fractured shoulder. But after a bus pep talk by team
manager Marc Sargeant and a skillful ride, Lotto shared
hugs of joy at the Stage 6 finish after burly German rider
Andre Greipel bulldozed his way to a sprint victory at the
end of a flat 110-mile ride fromAix-en-Provence to
Montpellier. Mused Greipel:"Sometimes happiness and
sadness can be so close together."
2. MORE MISERY: Flat stages often elicit tense, high-
speed racing as riders jostle for position in the pack.
Thursday's hot, windy conditions didn't help —and a
lack of luck bore down on the Astana team. Its Slovenian
teamleader Janez Brajkovic, who won the Criteriumdu
Dauphine in 2010, dropped out after injuring his chin,
breaking a bone in his left hand and opening a deep
gash in his knee after crashing into a traffic island during
the stage. The spill left him dazed and seated on the road
asphalt before he got up to finish —but the damage
was done. His teammate Fredrik Kessiakoff of Sweden
also abandoned the race; he couldn't keep up amid pain
frominjuries to his elbows, right forearm, chest and left
knee in a crash a day earlier. The teamfromKazakhstan
is down to six of its original nine riders: Andrey
Kashechkin dropped out earlier in the race.
3. HISTORICAL REVISIONISM: With its revisions, and
names and feats crossed out, the Tour's official history
guide is starting to look like a kid's homework book: a
complete mess. The reason? Doping. Organizers have
gone through the tome with a pen and ruler. Lance
Armstrong's name and all seven of his wins from1999-
2005 have lines through them. So do 20 of his stage
wins. Lines have also been drawn through the names of
George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer and David Zabriskie,
who testified to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that they
were involved in doping while riding with Armstrong.
Authors of the"historical guide" had already been forced
to rewrite history even before Armstrong was exposed
last year as a serial doper. There's an asterisk next to the
name of Bjarne Riis. More than a decade after Riis won
the 1996 Tour —past the statute of limitations for
penalties —the Dane admitted to doping. Tour
historians' erasers may soon be busy again: A French
Senate panel later this month is expected to name other
riders who doped in the 1998 Tour.
4. PEANUTS FOR PRIZE MONEY? The Tour can pay out
more in glory than in bank notes. Take the Orica
GreenEdge team. The payout they will get —for all nine
riders and support staffers —for winning Tuesday's
teamtime trial is $12,900. Individual stage victories
bring just over $10,000 to the winner, $5,000 to the
second-place rider, etc. And riders do also cash in on
individual sprints and mountain climbs. The biggest prize
of all goes to the Tour winner. The man who takes home
the leader's yellowjersey gets $581,000 along with it.
Daryl Impey of South Africa, who seized the yellowjersey
on Thursday, said he didn't even knowhowmuch he was
owed for the Orica GreenEdge time-trial victory."Money?
I don't knowhowmuch it was, but we don't do it for the
money, we do it for the pride, you know?"
5. MOUNTAIN HORIZONS: On Friday, the Tour continues its
westward swing, negotiating four moderate climbs that
will serve as an appetizer for far more severe ascents in
the Pyrenees, beginning Saturday. The riders start Friday
where they ended Thursday, in Montpellier, and ride
127.7 miles to Albi.
5 things to know
about the Tour
de France
By John Leicester
MONTPELLIER, France — Stage
6 of the 100th Tour de France was a
textbook demonstration of team-
Like playing pass the parcel, an
Australian deliberately handed
over the race lead to help a South
African teammate and friend
become the first rider from that
country to wear the famed yellow
And Andre Greipel, who won the
stage with a fierce finishing
sprint, owed a debt of gratitude to
teammates who plied him with
drinks all afternoon, ferrying bot-
tles back and forth from cars at the
back of the race, so he didn't melt
in the scorching sun.
"Room service," the big German
said light-heartedly.
As the new leader of cycling's
showcase race, Daryl Impey can
look forward to some first-class
treatment, too. Being the first
South African to wear the yellow
jersey "will definitely change my
life," he said.
Rugby, cricket and, for the
majority black population, foot-
ball, are the big sports for South
Africans. Impey can shop in the
malls of Johannesburg, where he
trains and lives, without being
recognized, said his wife,
But that was before his buddy on
the Orica GreenEdge team, Simon
Gerrans, passed him the race lead
at the Tour.
"Wearing the yellow jersey now
is definitely going to change
things for cycling, put it on the
map in South Africa," said Impey.
"Hopefully people will start rec-
ognizing me, maybe."
Gerrans knows the feeling. To
wear canary yellow at the Tour is
to be king for a day — or more
depending on how long the rider
keeps the lead.
Gerrans had it for two unforget-
table days. Fans clapped and
cheered when they saw him.
Reporters chased him. A particu-
larly boisterous crowd of Aussie
fans played air guitar for him.
The jersey also carries extra
responsibilities: news confer-
ences, podium ceremonies and
other distractions can eat into rest
and recovery — so important for
riders to survive the three-week
trek over 2,115 miles. Injuries
from crashes have already culled
seven of the 198 riders who started
in Corsica on June 29.
Impey worked for Gerrans earlier
at the Tour, helping him win Stage
3 and riding hard in the time trial
Orica won as a team in Stage 4.
Gerrans figured it was time for
some payback. So on Thursday he
rode in five seconds behind Impey
in Montpellier. That was enough
for the race lead to pass from one
to the other, because they started
the day with the exact same over-
all time, with Gerrans in first place
and Impey second.
"Daryl was a huge part of me get-
ting the jersey so I thought it was
a nice gesture to be able to pass it
on to him now. Hopefully for a few
days," Gerrans said. "To have the
yellow jersey, it just really
changes your life as a cyclist."
"I'll have a bit more time to
myself now and pass all that extra
work on to Daryl," Gerrans added.
"I don't count it as losing the jer-
sey. I count it as passing it on to a
mate. It was the plan before the
stage and we were able to execute it
perfectly. "
Impey's father was a pro cyclist
in South Africa, said his wife. She
said Impey also used to train with
Burry Stander, a two-time Olympic
mountain biker killed Jan. 3 when
he was hit by a minibus taxi while
biking with his wife. Stander was
the second leading cyclist to be
killed in a road accident in South
Africa in recent years. Carla Swart
died in January 2011 when she was
hit by a truck while training.
Describing roads around
Johannesburg as "pretty scary, "
Alexandra Impey said: "I feel more
relaxed when he's training here in
Greipel's sprint-finish victory
capped a hard day of riding for the
pack, across 110 miles of flat, sun-
kissed terrain from Aix-en-
Anxious that the region's
famous wind, the mistral, might
blow hard and split up the race,
teams cranked up the pace, reeling
in a breakaway rider and motoring
at high speed to make sure they
wouldn't get left behind. This in
heat that turned tarmac sticky,
with temperatures above 90
Bottles flew from the peloton as
riders emptied them and tossed
them aside. At the finish, French
rider Thibaut Pinot immediately
pulled up at a drinks station, pour-
ing a whole bottle of water over
his head and downing another in
huge gulps.
"We rode strong all day in poor
conditions," said Mark
Cavendish, who won Stage 5 in a
sprint but crashed late in Stage 6

Experience relief with advanced, non-surgical treatments.
If you answered yes to
any of these questions,
you are a candidate
for our non-invasive
treatment program.
Meet Dr. Brian Mitchell
Millions of individuals give up their
active lifestyle to knee pain because they
feel they are too young for major surgery.
I am here to tell you there's aneffective
and FDA approved alternative to surgery.
If you suffer from any degreeof knee pain,
I invite you to regain control of yourlifeby
visiting our state of the art facility.
How Do We Treat Knee Pain?
We use a non-invasive, multi-
disciplinary approach to provide
complete care and dramatically
improve patient's results. We cus-
tomize our treatment programs for
every individual. This may include
visco-supplementation to lubricate
the joint, individualized rehabili-
tation to strengthen the muscles
surrounding the injury, or bracing
for stabilization and support.
What Is visco-
Visco-supplementation, also known
as joint therapy, supplements the
knee with a natural occurring sub-
stance called hyaluronic acid that
is often deficient in arthritic knees.
This lubricates the knee joint to
reduce friction between the bones
of the knee to provide significant
pain relief.
Why is individualized reha-
bilitation Important?
The muscles surrounding the
injury can become weak and stiff
making it difficult to do everyday
tasks. Individualized rehabilita-
tion reduces inflammation and
increases range of motion, flex-
ibility and strength.
Will I feel better right away?
Most patients feel relief in a matter
of weeks and can go back to their
daily activities.
Will insurance cover
the cost?
Yes, most insurance providers and
Medicare will cover treatment upon
approval of your benefits.
Are the treatments
We've treated thousands of patients
and over 90% have experienced
significant pain relief and regained
How will I know if this
is right for me?
If you're suffering from knee pain,
your first step is an evaluation with
Dr. Brian Mitchell.
What are patients saying?
I arrived to my first appointment in a wheelchair because I couldn't bear any weight on my right
leg. The physician and therapists worked together to create a plan specifically for me. I quickly
progressed from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to full weight on my leg. The treatments and
one-on-one rehabilitation gave me my life back. – Diana V., Huntington Beach, CA

Not only did she fall outside the top 150 in the rankings,
but Lisicki says her rehabilitation felt like a course in how
to use that leg.
"I can still remember when the doctor told me that I have
to be on crutches the next six weeks. I was like, 'OK, when
can I get back?' That was my first question," Lisicki recalled
Thursday. "That period made me such a much stronger per-
son and ... I know anything is possible after learning how
to walk again."
She cited inspiration drawn from two injured athletes in
other sports, NFL quarterback Drew Brees and Alpine ski
racer Hermann Maier.
Brees tore his throwing shoulder in the last game of the
2005 regular season, and needed a complicated operation.
Let go by the San Diego Chargers, he wound up signing with
the New Orleans Saints and led that franchise to the Super
Bowl title in 2010. Maier, who won two Olympic gold
medals and four overall World Cup titles, nearly lost his
right leg — and his life — in a 2001 motorcycle accident.
Sidelined for two years, he returned to win the World Cup in
Lisicki also was motivated by a text message she said she
received before Thursday's match from the last German
woman to play in a Grand Slam final, back in 1999, Steffi
"She told me to go for it," Lisicki said.
Lisicki's formula against Radwanska was the same one
she employed while beating major champions Francesca
Schiavone in the first round, Sam Stosur in the third and
Williams: powerful serves, stinging returns and an uncanny
ability to get to balls that seem out of reach. On Thursday,
Lisicki smacked serves at up to 122 mph, including nine
aces, and hit eight return winners.
Her game clearly is built for grass. She is 19-4 at
Wimbledon, 16-15 at the other three major tournaments.
She's 8-2 in three-setters at Wimbledon, 5-9 at the other
Bartoli also has been most successful at what many play-
ers consider tennis' most prestigious site. Her career win-
ning percentage at Wimbledon is .730; it's .586 at the other
Slams. She is 2-0 in Wimbledon semifinals, 0-1 elsewhere.
"I had to play, I don't know, 500 percent, I think, to beat
Marion today. She was just too good," said Flipkens, who
fell face-down in the grass in the sixth game, landing on her
bandaged right knee, and later received treatment.
"I tried my slices. She didn't have any problem with that.
I tried the drop shot. She got it," added Flipkens, who never
had been past the fourth round at a major. "I tried a lob. I
tried everything, actually. "
Hitting two-handed shots off both wings — like her idol,
Monica Seles — Bartoli took the first three games of each
set and never relented.
"Definitely," said 2006 Wimbledon winner Amelie
Mauresmo, the French Fed Cup captain serving as an advis-
er to Bartoli, "the best match of the tournament for her."
As always, Bartoli took practice cuts between most
points, pumped her fist after nearly every point she won,
and sprinted to the sideline at changeovers.
"It's not like I want to annoy my opponent," Bartoli said.
"It's really me trying to be ready for the point that is com-
She figures she's much better equipped to handle a Grand
Slam final now than when she managed to win only five
games in the loss to Venus Williams six years ago.
"I'm just doing everything better, honestly," said Bartoli,
who was only 22 when she made her major final debut.

LONDON — All this talk about no
Americans left at Wimbledon strikes Mike
and Bob Bryan as sort of odd.
After their semifinal victory — on the
Fourth of July, no less — these 35-year-old
identical twins from California are one win
away from becoming the first team in the
history of Open-era tennis to hold all four
major titles at the same time.
"The Bryan Slam," they'll call it, but
don't look for that news to knock baseball,
hot-dog-eating contests or Andy Murray out
of the headlines in either the United States
or Britain.
The Bryan brothers play doubles, and
despite their history making success, they
live in a world where their games aren't fully
appreciated and fame is hard to come by.
"The hardcore tennis fan loves doubles,
but the casual sports fan doesn't know
enough about it," Mike Bryan said. "They
love stars. Doubles players aren't stars."
If their list of accomplishments belonged
to a singles player, they'd be considered
among the best of all time.
—Their 14 Grand Slam tournament titles
would tie them for second with Pete
—Their 310 weeks at No. 1 would be eight
more than Roger Federer's record.
—Their 90 tournament titles would rank
third behind Jimmy Connors and Ivan
Instead, they must "settle" for holding the
record for doubles in all those categories.
They've raked in more than $20 million in
prize money over their 15 years as pros and
have gone 21-3 in Davis Cup matches — a
near sure thing for a country that, for the
first time in 101 years, didn't have a male
singles player in the third round of
Wimbledon and also saw its last woman go
out Wednesday.
Quite a resume. Place them outside a ten-
nis tournament, however, and usually, they
can walk down the street in peace.
"It's the names and the stars," said Jack
Nicklaus, the 18-time major golf champi-
on, who was at Wimbledon this week and
watched the Bryans play.
"The singles players are really good, no
question about that. If the doubles players
were good enough, they'd be playing sin-
gles. To a large degree, I think that's the
way most people look at it."
Though it struggles for air time, doubles
can be plenty entertaining — the last bas-
tion of 21st-century tennis where a net
game, teamwork and a couple of reflex vol-
leys can still carry the day.
Nearly two-thirds of frequent recreational
players in the U.S. play doubles, according
to the most recent study by the U.S. Tennis
At the pro level, it can be quite an enter-
taining show, as was the brothers' 6-7 (4),
6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory Thursday over the
newly formed team of India's Rohan
Bopanna and France's Edouard Roger-
"I think they get overlooked and I think
the top current singles players very, very
seldom play doubles," said Pam Shriver,
whose 8 1/2-year partnership with Martina
Navratilova produced 20 Grand Slam titles.
"I think doubles have always taken a back
seat since Open tennis and prize money set-
tled it all."
(The lone exception: The Williams sis-
ters, who've combined to win 13 Grand
Slam doubles titles.)
In their semifinal victory Thursday, the
Bryans improved to 8-1 lifetime in
Wimbledon five-setters. Their success in the
close ones — and the not-so-close ones —
makes sense, considering they've been
together forever, literally, while other
teams come and go, sometimes changing
partners by the week.
The Bryans' opponents in Saturday's final
will be Croatia's Ivan Dodig and Brazil's
Marcelo Melo, yet another one of those
"honeymoon teams," as the Bryans like to
call the new teams.
"The sibling relationship might not even
hold up under this amount of travel and
stress," said Bob Bryan, who plays lefty,
while his brother plays right-handed.
"It's maybe only the twin relationship
that can stand this kind of test of time. I def-
initely don't think just a normal partner-
ship can hold up under this many years of
ups and downs and finger pointing.
Bryans strike blow for doubles and American tennis

Tom Osborne, Nebraska's retired football
coach and athletic director, said CB3 and the
adjoining Athletic Performance Lab fit his
vision for what he wanted to include in the
stadium expansion.
The project was one of Osborne's major
initiatives in his five years as athletic direc-
tor. Osborne envisioned a collaboration of
the athletic and academic sides of the uni-
versity. So while athletes participate in
concussion studies, political science
researchers might use CB3's brain-scan-
ning technology to see if they can figure out
why some people lean conservative and
others liberal.
Concussions have become one of the top
concerns in sports in recent years after
prominent brain injuries and disease in for-
mer NFL players, driven in part by some
high-profile suicides. Thousands of former
players are suing the league, saying that for
years the NFL did not do enough to protect
players from concussions. The NCAA also
is addressing the issue.
"There are a lot of things that are very
important with the NCAA as far as the
health and safety of the student-athlete,"
NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline
said, "and concussion is right up there as
first and foremost. It's the elephant on the
table, and we, with everyone else, we have
to solve it."
There are about 300,000 sports-related
concussions reported in the United States
annually, and hundreds of millions of dol-
lars have been funneled into research, with
much of the funding going to universities.
Nebraska recruited the 67-year-old
Molfese away from the University of
Louisville, giving him virtual carte blanche
in the design and equipping of CB3.
Molfese is among 14 experts serving on
the National Academy of Sciences Institute
of Medicine Committee on Sports-Related
Concussions in Youth, which will report to
Congress and President Barack Obama on
brain injuries in children and young adults.
He also heads a Big Ten-Ivy League partner-
ship studying brain injuries in sports.
Nebraska's brain center is connected by a
100-foot skywalk to the new Athletic
Performance Lab, which will research,
among other things, injury prevention and
high-tech ways to maximize performance of
athletes. CB3 and the performance lab will
partner on some projects.
CB3's main attraction is a type of mag-
netic resonance imaging machine — known
as a functional MRI — that tracks the
brain's blood flow. It's hoped the $3 mil-
lion scanner helps in the effort to better
define what is and is not a concussion.
"There's no question it's going to move
the dial forward," the NCAA's Hainline said.
"The big, hoped-for dream would be, let's
have a biomarker in brain imaging. If
you're to the left of that, you're safe; if
you're to the right of it, you're not. That's
probably a few years out. But functional
brain imaging and blood flow are going to
be a very important part of that."
The MRI machine also can be used on
game days to assess injuries of all kinds.
Molfese said the sideline concussion
assessment tool would be the first of what
he hopes are many groundbreaking devel-
opments to come out of CB3. The device
would allow medical personnel to go
beyond the standard practice of asking the
injured athlete questions and judge, based
on his or her answers, whether it's safe for
him or her to return to a game.
If a linebacker took a hit to the head, he
would come to the sideline and have an elec-
trode net placed over his head. Battery-pow-
ered brain-recording equipment would meas-
ure the player's responses to stimuli.
"We can get an idea of what area of the
brain is being involved in the process,
whether the speed of processing is at the
rate it should be," Molfese said. "The differ-
ent areas of the brain that normally inte-
grate information quickly stop doing that,
so that's another way we should be able to
pick up whether there is an injury or not."
Molfese said the device, which should be
ready for use within one to two years, even-
tually could be used in hospitals to screen
patients for head injuries.
"It would be routine," he said, "and they'd
know within 10 minutes."
Osborne said he's fascinated by the possi-
bilities. He said suspected concussions were
dealt with the same way throughout his
football coaching career. The athletic train-
er would hold up two or three fingers in front
of the woozy player's face as he came off
the field and ask him how many.
"If you could come close," Osborne said,
"they'd put you back in. That wasn't very

Also, the Reds would be in the middle of a
road trip to St. Louis and Colorado. The
Giants would be in the middle of a trip to

Could Coors Field in Denver be a conven-

"There are options they discussed for a
makeup," Bochy said. "August 29 in
Colorado. September 30, the day after the
season, we would come here (Cincinnati).
They discussed a split doubleheader at our
Said Baker: "We're kicking it around,
kicking it around about possible dates
which are optimal."
"There are none. There's only one date
when we're both off, but that would make it
34 (straight) days for both," he said.
This postponement was only the seventh
rainout in the 11-year history of Great
American Ball Park and the first since May
1, 2012, against the Cubs.
Even before the rain, Cincinnati's Chris
Heisey figured it was a long shot that he
would play Thursday despite homering and
driving in two runs the previous day.
It became a sure thing for Heisey and
everyone else when the finale of the four-
game series was postponed by rain.
Heisey made his first start after spending
nearly two months on the disabled list with
a strained right hamstring, playing in
Wednesday night's 3-2, 11-inning win.
Even if the rain had stopped in time for
Thursday's game to be played, he figured
Baker's caution would keep him on the
"(Baker) usually has a good idea of when
you can play and when you can't, but I told
him that I'm feeling great, and I'm ready to
play whenever he needs me," he said.
Sure enough, Heisey wasn't in Baker's
starting lineup, in part because right-hander
Matt Cain was San Francisco's scheduled
starter. That wasn't the only reason.
"I kept my eye on him. Usually, when you
get hurt is when you get fatigued," Baker
said before the game was called.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Cain
will start the opener of a three-game series
against the Dodgers on Friday in San
"No changes right now," Bochy said
about his rotation. "Cain goes (Friday).
(Madison) Bumgarner on Saturday. The plan
right now is (Chad) Gaudin on Sunday. "
Gaudin has been on the disabled list since
June 24, retroactive to June 21, with a
bruised right elbow.

OAKLAND — Derek Norris scored on a
passed ball with two outs in the seventh
inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the
Chicago Cubs 1-0 on Thursday.
Dan Straily (5-2) gave up a hit over seven
innings after being recalled from Triple-A
Sacramento earlier in the day. He made the
start to allow a sore Jarrod Parker to get two
extra days of rest. Straily walked three and
struck out six.
Norris walked with two outs and went to
third on Seth Smith's single. Matt Guerrier
(2-4), making his first appearance with the
Cubs since being acquired from the Los
Angeles Dodgers, threw a strike on the out-
side part of the plate. Pinch hitter Eric
Sogard swung at the pitch and Cubs catcher
Wellington Castillo had the ball glance off
his mitt, allowing Norris to score the
unearned run.
Cubs' starter Travis Wood allowed three
hits over six innings. He walked one and
struck five in recording his third consecu-
tive no-decision. Alfonso Soriano got
Chicago's lone hit off Straily.
Wood extend his winless stretch to six
starts despite an ERA of 2.58 over that
Ryan Cook pitched the eighth and Grant
Balfour recorded the final three outs for his
21st save in as many chances.
In the fourth, Yoenis Cespedes threw out
Starlin Castro trying to score from second
on Soriano's single to left field. Soriano
was later thrown out by Norris attempting
to steal second, ending the inning.
Castro walked to open the inning and
advanced when Nate Schierholtz grounded
The A's also had a potential run thrown out
on the bases.
Against Matt Guerrier, Chris Young sin-
gled with one out in the seventh but was
caught stealing by Castillo. Norris drew a
walk and went to third on Seth Smith's sin-
gle prior to the passed ball.
Pedro Stroup also made his Cubs debut
with a scoreless ninth as the Cubs matched
their franchise record for players used before
the All-Star break with 41. The Cubs also
extended their franchise record by using 23
pitchers before the break.
NOTES: Cubs OF Brian Bogusevic left the
game after the top of third inning with left
hamstring tightness. ... The A's optioned C
Stephen Vogt to Triple-A Sacramento to
make room for Straily. . . . The Cubs
announced that RHP Carlos Villanueva (2-4,
3.45) will start Sunday's game against
Pittsburgh, filling the spot vacated when
RHP Scott Feldman was traded to the
Baltimore Orioles. Villanueva started the
year in the rotation, but went to the bullpen
when RHP Matt Garza came off the disabled
list. ... RHP Jeff Samardija (5-7, 3.34) will
take the mound Friday night against the
Pirates at Wrigley Field. He's 4-2 with a
1.56 ERA against the Pirates all-time,
though just 1-2 against them this year.

for Burlingame Motors.
The auto repair shop was the
brainchild of Walter Baumgartner,
an immigrant from Switzerland
with aspirations of opening a fac-
tory-certified repair shop. His
dream was fully realized in 1979
with the opening of Burlingame
Motors, an independent Mercedes-
Benz repair shop. Baumgartner's
shop flourished under his tutelage
until his 1999 death. Wiegand
assumed the reins after
Baumgartner's wife handed the
shop to him, because "she wanted
the business to go on as a family-
run shop," said Wiegand.
As a child, Wiegand always
enjoyed tinkering with bicycles
and mopeds.
"In Switzerland, you have to
make a decision at an early age
what you want to do with your life,"
said Wiegand.
High school graduates in
Switzerland either go to an appren-
ticeship, vocational school or uni-
"Eighty percent of young people
attend vocational training or
apprenticeship, while 20 percent
attend a university," Wiegand said.
Wiegand already knew what his
niche was so he attended an appren-
ticeship with Mercedes-Benz. After
a four year apprenticeship in
Switzerland, Wiegand learned
through a friend of an exchange pro-
gram from Switzerland to the United
States. Through that program he
met Baumgartner and his family.
"I met his daughter Nicole and we
fell in love and one thing led to
another, so I just stayed in the
United States versus moving back
to Switzerland," Wiegand said.
Since working with Burlingame
Motors in 1991, Wiegand has
helped expand the shop with high-
end repairs across a range of clas-
sics from Mercedes to Ferrari.
But how does the process work?
The process starts when clients
bring in their cars and the mechan-
ics do an evaluation.
"We then give an estimate and,
depending on what the client
wants, we then proceed," said
The mechanics will either do a
full or partial job depending on the
client's preference.
"You can bring us a steering
wheel and we can build a car around
it," Wiegand said.
Unlike other auto repair shops,
Burlingame Motors will take care
of classic European cars.
"Older European cars are a lot
trickier to repair, because they are
complicated and you need to be
careful with the parts," he said.
Atypical auto repair shop's busi-
ness model is a nice flow of com-
merce such as a multitude of oil
changes, brake jobs and tire
changes in a day. For Burlingame
Motors, "this is the regular daily
flow in terms of interaction with
the customers." Ayounger mechan-
ic will focus on the newer models as
well as the regular maintenance,
while the older mechanics are more
involved with the older models.
Handling long-term projects is
not quick business for a typical
auto repair shop, but Burlingame
Motors is not your typical factory-
certified repair shop.
"Here clientele want to have their
cars taken care of because to them
it's an investment," said Wiegand.
"Clients appreciate a mechanic that
values these cars the way they do
by working careful on these classic

PARIS — "It's all cinema, it's all from
film," said Jean Paul Gaultier, summing up
haute couture.
Paris' enfant terrible seemed to have a
point, speaking on the last day of fall-win-
ter shows that have seen spectators trans-
ported from apocalyptic opera houses to
the circus and flung across the four corners
of the globe.
Gaultier's feline-infused couture collec-
tion - Wednesday's highlight - took for
inspiration Italian filmmaker Federico
Fellini and "The Pink Panther. "
The references merged with theatrical
panache to produce once of his best shows
in seasons.
But the cinema continued throughout
Wednesday. In Valentino's encyclopedic
show, continents and eras were merged and
had Baz Luhrmann in delight.
"Haute couture, like cinema, is unreal.
It's theatre - a romantic aspiration that's
more beautiful, more extraordinary than
reality," said the burlesque "Moulin
Rouge" director who sat on the coveted
front row.
With a delicious purr, Gaultier pounced
back into top form with a feisty couture
collection, proving that despite a couple
of off seasons, he still has a lot of tricks
up his embroidered sleeve.
This fall-winter's muse was the female
panther, which inspired a slew of fresh
ideas, including plenty of new ways to
wear leopard and how to dress in feathers to
look like a cat.
If it sounds eccentric, it was.
Leopard print featured cheekily on tights
below one stylish all-black crepe dress,
and there were several incredible couture
coats. At first glance they looked like fur
but were made entirely of feathers, speck-
led like a big cat pelt and with white feath-
ers at the edges to resemble skin.
Gaultier, ever the showman, ensured the
wackiness infused the show's presentation
as well.
Forty-three looks filed by to the infec-
tious theme of "The Pink Panther," show-
cased on models who clawed as they
walked. Guests looked on from stalls divid-
ed into lionesses, panthers, lynx and leop-
ards. Sometimes they applauded, some-
times they simply laughed.
But aside from all the fun, there was some
serious couture at work here.
Inspired by clown costumes, Gaultier
showed flair with a new silhouette produced
by dramatic 1980s-style ice-cream cone-
shaped chaps.
It was fresh and engaging, and it seemed
to say one of the big cats of Paris is back.
As guests arrived at Valentino's show,
they glanced inquisitively at the zebra
heads and gold-rimmed fisheye mirrors
mounted on the walls of the "Hotel de
Rothschild," transforming the 19th centu-
ry mansion into a vintage-style cabinet of
"Enchanting, encyclopedic couture," the
program notes promised revelers.
When the first tight gown swept by with
the image of orange rhinoceros on 3-D bed
of myriad earth brown lacing, apparently
inspired by a painting of Elizabeth I, it was
clear the show would follow through on the
Designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and
Pierpaolo Piccioli, in the process, seemed
to have pulled off their most eccentric and
imaginative show to date.
Oriental motifs and arabesque patterns
fused with Scottish herringbone tweeds and
Renaissance capes were thrown into the
creative cauldron. This appeared alongside
embroideries of lion's heads, bees, beetles
and dragonflies, often to luxurious effect.
That's not to say all the looks worked.
Some were too austere, and on the more
elaborate silhouettes the patterning at
times came across as busy.
Returning to the couture stage after a 13-
year hiatus, Viktor Horsting and Rolf
Snoeren used a raked Japanese garden as the
vehicle for their shadowy, minimalist cre-
In an unusual presentation, the Dutch
design duo meditated back-to-back in the
lotus position before the collection show-
cased the 20 black, architectural creations.
(Twenty represented the amount of years
they've been in the fashion industry. )
Sluggishly from the backstage darkness,
the dresses appeared in stiff technical silk
with Oriental, almost organic silhouettes.
They cut some beautiful and contemplative
The models then dropped to the floor one
by one and the designers molded the dress-
es with their hands into various abstract
forms. It produced a striking visual land-
scape: An interlocking mound of black
with model piled upon model in several
heaps of black fabric.
Lebanese designer Elie Saab unabashedly
celebrated the glitz of the red carpet in a
couture show which used the exact color the
A-listers tread.
The first series of sweeping embroidered
silk gowns brushed the red-colored catwalk
as they filed by, merging with it in a
"trompe l'oeil" effect.
It could be said that Saab - famed for
dressing royalty and celebrities for the red
carpet - is finally embracing the color that
made his name.
Pearlized hues followed, with delicately
cinched waists and glittering with thou-
sands of embroidered sequins - as is the
Saab signature.
Several looks in rarely used jade green
were the highest point in the show, cutting
a striking image against the red of the run-
However, a series of gowns in ultrama-
rine were so bold they might be hard for
mere mortals to pull off. Perhaps it was a
reminder: This show is not for mortals;
this is haute couture.

ver the course of more than eight
months starting in mid-February,
the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in
Ashland stages a total of 11 plays in its
three theaters. During the summer, it's pos-
sible to see nine or even 10 of them during
a week's stay.
The current playbill lists Shakespeare's
"Cymbeline" and "A Midsummer's Night
Dream" along with the U.S. premiere of
David Farr's "The Heart of Robin Hood" in
the outdoor Elizabethan Stage.
The indoor Bowmer Theatre is featuring
Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew, "
Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady, "
Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named
Desire" and August Wilson's "Two Trains
Running." The latter will close July 7 to be
replaced by the world premiere of Tanya
Saracho's "The Tenth Muse."
Onstage in the smaller indoor Thomas
Theatre (formerly New Theatre) are
Shakespeare's "King Lear" and the world
premiere of "The Unfortunates" by Jon
Beavers, Casey Hurt, Ian Merrigan and
Ramiz Monsef. The world premiere of
Naomi Wallace's "The Liquid Plain" opens
July 6.
The complete schedule and other details
are available by calling (800) 219-8161 or
visiting www.osfashland.org.
The following are capsule reviews from a
recent visit.
"My Fair Lady": "My Fair Lady" was the
clear standout during that visit. With music
by Frederick Loewe and book and lyrics by
Alan Jay Lerner, this musical version of
George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" was a
Broadway smash when it opened in 1956. It
starred Julie Andrews as Cockney flower girl
Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison as crotch-
ety phonetics professor Henry Higgins,
who tries to teach her how to speak like a
The success of this brilliant Ashland pro-
duction comes from several factors, starting
with the show itself and its music, a non-
stop string of hits like "Get Me to the
Church on Time," "On the Street Where You
Live," "I Could Have Danced All Night,"
"I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" and
Then there's the cast, with Rachael
Warren as Eliza and Jonathan Haugen as
Higgins. They have a chemistry not often
seen in other productions.
Adding to the enjoyment are David Kelly
as Colonel Pickering, Higgins' colleague;

LOS ANGELES — Stealing the
moon can be a tough act to follow, as
reformed criminal mastermind Gru
and the creative team behind the
$540-million-grossing 2010 smash
"Despicable Me" discovered when it
was time to dream up an encore.
After all, it was no mean feat to suc-
cessfully juggle all that lunar lunacy
with a delightful companion plot
involving a trio of orphaned girls who,
in turn, steal Gru's heart. While the new
edition doesn't quite catch that inspired
spark, there's still plenty to enjoy here
courtesy of those zippy visuals and a
pitch-perfect voice cast led by the
innately animated Steve Carell.
Expect the movie's minions to once
again turn up in droves in what is cer-
tain to be a stellar Fourth of July hol-
iday weekend.
"Despicable Me 2" finds Carell's
Gru more or less embracing his
newly domesticated life after adopt-
ing Margo (Miranda Cosgrove),
Edith (Dana Gaier) and little Agnes
(Elsie Fisher), even swapping his
more nefarious activities for a
startup jelly-and-jam-making
operation. But he soon finds him-
self in a stickier situation when
he's dispatched by the top-secret
Anti-Villain League to track down
the perpetrator of a fresh heist
involving a ginormous electromag-
Setting up an undercover opera-

ET. It is estimated that more than
500,000 people go whale watching
annually on commercial boats in the
waters between Washington state
and British Columbia. The large
numbers are easy to understand:
these exhilarating excursions give
visitors an opportunity to see the
famed killer whales, the orcas, in
one of the most dramatic settings in
the world. The experience also is a
chance for travelers to gain knowl-
edge about the whales and the other
marine wildlife in the region.
Helping in this education process is
The Whale Museum in Friday
Harbor on San Juan Island, the first
museum of its kind in the United
States dedicated to whales living in
the wild. The museum works close-
ly with marine researchers who
study wild whales in their Salish
Sea natural habitat.

Director Jenny L. Atkinson said,
"We hope visitors will come see the
new exhibit on [orca] Sooke (L-
112) and get to know the endan-
gered Southern Resident orcas as
well as the other inhabitants of the
Salish Sea. Through exhibits, films,
stories and activities, The Whale
Museum aims to highlight the area's
wonderful marine environment and
instill a sense of stewardship in all
who visit. Our mission is to promote
stewardship of whales and the
Salish Sea ecosystem through edu-
cation and research."
The Whale Museum is located in
the historic Odd Fellows Hall at 62
N. First St. Friday Harbor, Wash.,
within walking distance of the
Washington State Ferry Terminal.

The Salish Sea (say-lish) is the net-
work of coastal waterways between
the southwestern tip of the
Canadian province of British
Columbia and the northwestern tip
of Washington state. Its major bod-
ies of water are the Strait of
Georgia, the Strait of Juan de Fuca
and Puget Sound. The inland water-
ways of the Salish Sea are partially
separated from the open Pacific
Ocean by Vancouver Island and the
Olympic Peninsula, and are thus
somewhat shielded from Pacific
Ocean storms. Major port cities on
the Salish Sea include Seattle,
Vancouver, Tacoma, Bellingham
and Victoria.
PUGET SOUND. For thousands of
years, the inland waters of the
Pacific Northwest have been the
summer feeding grounds for killer
whales and no trip to the San Juan
Islands would be complete without
a trip out to look for these wonder-
ful animals. The whale-watching
vessels are a close-knit community
and share sightings in real time;
when one boat spots a group of
whales, known as a pod, the word is
spread so that all boats can gather,
working together to respect the laws
requiring that vessels stay several
hundred yards from marine mam-
mals. One of the most senior of the
whale watch mariners is Captain
Jim Maya, who guides his comfort-
able six-passenger boat the
Peregrine out of Mitchell Bay on
San Juan Island's northwest shore.
Maya is a lifelong naturalist and
avid photographer who shares his
love of the area with humor and
enthusiasm. Maya's Westside

ADOPT AN ORCA. Each orca
can be identified by the shape and
size of the fin on its back (dorsal fin)
and the gray and white markings
beneath and behind the fin (saddle
patch). Each animal has been given
a pod identification number as well
as a common name that reflects a bit
of its heritage, personality or cir-
cumstances of its discovery. There
are currently more than 80 whales
available for adoption through The
Whale Museum's Orca Adoption
Program, including baby orca
Ti'lem I'nges (J-49), named by the
Samish Indian Nation on June 29 in
a traditional Potlatch Naming
Ceremony. The funds raised
through this adoption program sup-
port ongoing research on the orcas
and other marine mammals in the
ORCAS IN ART. Indian artwork
from the Pacific Northwest fre-
quently incorporates images of the
native animals, including the orca.
The Arctic Raven Gallery, just a few
blocks from The Whale Museum,
represents artists from the Coast
Salish, Kwaguilth and Makah
nations as well as from the more
northern Haida, Tlingit and
Tsimshian. Pieces include masks,
woodcarvings and prints. The arctic
raven, logo of the gallery, is the only
bird that remains in the far north
throughout the winter and thus has
become a symbol of the resilience
of the northern Native cultures. 130

Pearce, Higgins' housekeeper; and Ken
Robinson as Freddy Eynsford-Hill, Eliza's
would-be suitor. Mrs. Higgins, Henry's
mother, is usually played by Chavez
Ravine, but understudy Kate Mulligan ably
filled in.
Several of these actors have worked
together at the festival for years and have
developed a strong rapport that comes
across on the stage.
However, what makes this production
stand out from so many others over the
years is the inventive direction by Amanda
Dehnert, who also serves as musical direc-
tor. Kudos go to choreographer Jaclyn
Miller, too.
Just one example of Dehnert's creativity
comes in the Ascot scene when the actors'
hats, which have been suspended above the
stage, descend directly onto each person's
Other clever touches create a thoroughly
enjoyable, not-to-be-missed theatrical
"A Streetcar Named Desire": Although
Marlon Brando's performance as Stanley
Kowalski in the film version of "A
Streetcar Named Desire" has become icon-
ic, Danforth Comins puts his own touch on
the role in Tennessee Williams' classic
Comins has a boyish quality that might
explain why his wife, Stella (Nell
Geisslinger), was attracted to a man who
can be crude and domineering.
Stanley's more negative qualities really
come to the fore when the ladylike Blanche
DuBois (Kate Mulligan), Stella's elder sis-
ter, comes to their cramped New Orleans
apartment after the longtime DuBois plan-
tation was lost to creditors.
Stanley's instinctive distrust of Blanche
leads him to investigate her background
and find that she wasn't being truthful.
His discoveries dissolve her psycholog-
ical defenses, revealing her mental insta-
bility and leading to a wrenching conclu-
Director Christopher Liam Moore and
his talented cast have a solid grasp of the
play's emotional undertones. It's an out-
standing production.
"Two Trains Running": The late August
Wilson created an epic series of 10 plays
highlighting aspects of the African-
American experience in each decade of the
20th century. "Two Trains Running" takes
place in 1969 in Pittsburgh, the setting for
most of the plays.
Memphis (Terry Bellamy) owns a neigh-
borhood restaurant patronized by Wolf
(Kenajuan Bentley), a numbers runner;
Holloway (Josiah Phillips), an older, wiser
man; West (Jerome Preston Bates), an
undertaker; and the mentally disturbed
Hambone (Tyrone Wilson).
Another patron, the younger Sterling
(Kevin Kenerly), has returned to the neigh-
borhood after five years in prison. The
only other character is the aloof, slow-
moving waitress, Risa (Bakesta King).
The restaurant is slated for demolition as
part of urban renewal, but Memphis wor-
ries that he won't get a fair price. Sterling
needs money to turn his life around. He's
also trying to woo the reluctant Risa.
As directed by Lou Bellamy, each charac-
ter embodies aspects of the culture as well
as the time and place. As is Wilson's wont,
i t 's talky, but there's poetry in those
speeches along with some humor. It con-
veys a strong sense of what the characters
are experiencing in that time and place.
"The Taming of the Shrew": William
Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew"
can be difficult for today's audiences
because it involves a macho man trying to
subdue a strong-willed woman he wants to
marry for money.
True, Kate (Nell Geisslinger) has a nasty
temper, but perhaps it's because her
younger sister, the pretty but vacuous
Bianca (Royer Bockus) is hotly pursued by
men and favored by their father, Baptista
(Robert Vincent Frank). However, Baptista
won't allow Bianca to marry until Kate has
a husband.
Wooing scene
No man is interested until Petruchio (Ted
Deasy) comes from Verona "to wive it
wealthily in Padua." After a tempestuous
wooing scene, he gets her to the altar, but
their "honeymoon" is hardly idyllic as he
treats her cruelly in the guise of kindness.
She finally bends to his will, but has she
really given in to him or does she relent
just to have some peace? As directed by
David Ivers, it appears that she might be
getting Petruchio to do her will.
Scenic designer Jo Winiarski has given
this version a boardwalk setting with mod-
ern costumes by Meg Neville. However,
director Ivers overdoes some of the updat-
ing with raucous rock music (by sound
designer Paul James Prendergast) and a
preening rock star persona for Petruchio.
Overall, though, it's quite well acted,
especially by Geisslinger and a strong sup-
porting cast. However, as measured against
some other "Shrew" productions seen at
Ashland and elsewhere, as well as the other
three shows reviewed this time, it doesn't
stand out.

engage students regardless of how they
learn. It also will encourage the use of tech-
nology but in a way that creates engage-
ment with others, not just students individ-
ually working with a screen, she explained.
For students, the plan calls for supporting
children academically as well as socially
and emotionally. It asks that critical think-
ing and problem-solving skills to be
emphasized in lessons along with the use of
technology and real-world situations. A
group of teachers are being trained this sum-
mer to lead curriculum changes, said
Superintendent Craig Baker. That sort of
training will continue in the coming years
to reach all the district's educators. As a
result, there will be lots of pilot programs,
Baker added.
The plan is open-ended about who can be
a teacher. Lessons, for example, could come
from local business owners sharing real-life
experiences or people who can take part in
virtual field trips using video conferencing
software. Virtual field trips are also part of
the plan to extend where learning happens,
said Baker.
Implementing the changes is easier for
the district since almost all of its schools,
aside from Central Middle School, are char-
ters. Central will soon be a charter, howev-
Where the impact of the new strategic
plan will be first visible will be in the new
schools being built to teach fourth and fifth
grade students. Aplan to build two such cam-
puses using land at the district's middle
schools — Central and Tierra Linda — was
developed to help alleviate growing enroll-
ment. Once complete, the smaller transition
schools that will share facilities with
Central and Tierra Linda will also draw one
grade of students from the existing San
Carlos schools to free up space. The first of
these schools, which will be located at
Central, is expected to open in 2016.
Direction for the design includes building
classrooms with moveable walls so that two
classrooms can work together or a group of
students can take their lesson outside, Baker
"Building new schools gives us the
opportunity to support the type of learning
we want to do," said Baker who will now
start working with a design team to create a
plan for the facility.
It's not just about changing thoughts
about how to reach students. Baker sees this
as a way to also involve students in owning
their own educational goals — like know-
ing in which areas they could use help and
acknowledging the successful movement
toward reaching those milestones.

four which Peterson said was hard to meet.
Now, it depends.
Acategory one establishment is the low-
est risk like convenience stores, coffee
shops and sellers of prepackaged foods like
muffins that don't require cooking and can
sit at room temperature. The FDA recom-
mends visiting only once a year unless
there are concerns and that fee is now $459.
Category 2 could be a retail store or
school where food preparation involves
reheating rather than cooking raw ingredi-
ents and temperature is the primary concern.
Visits are recommended twice a year. The
inspection fee for such a site with 10 or less
seats is $612.
Category three is the highest risk for full-
service restaurants involving more com-
plex preparation from raw to cooked which
requires correct processes, cooling and heat-
ing. The guidelines recommend three visits
a year and inspection costs for a category 3
facility with 10 or fewer seats is $1,071.
San Mateo County is among the first in
the state to use the risk-based approach,
Peterson said.
The biggest thing Peterson said the sys-
tem is seeing is that inspectors can spend
more time at a facility and managers and
staff become more comfortable asking ques-
tions or working to fix problems. Peterson
said the goal is not just enforcement but
also providing education for "teachable
Every person or business involved in the
food chain from farmers to consumers has
some responsibility for food safety but it's
also critical for the county's food establish-
ments to maintain their own safety sys-
tems, said county Health Officer Dr. Scott
The new assessment guidelines do not
include food trucks which are a separate cat-
egory and inspected at least once a year
when they come in for permits. However,
Peterson said, the trucks come in empty
rather than while preparing food and the
health officials are working on ways to bet-
ter inspect them in the field.
The county is also working on color-
coded placards in future years to alert cus-
tomers to inspection grades. Restaurants are
currently mandated to post the latest inspec-
tion report but compliance is only about 50
percent, Peterson said.
Those with concerns or complaints
should call Environmental Health directly at
373-6200 for the most immediate response.
Complaints can also be filed online at
www.smchealth.org/food where visitors can
also sign up for email notification of viola-
tions each Thursday.

can check the status of your licensed
contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800-

jobs that total less than $500 must state
in their advertisements that they are not

COCHABAMBA, Bolivia —
President Evo Morales warned on
Thursday that he could close the
U.S. Embassy in Bolivia, as South
America's leftist leaders rallied to
support him after his presidential
plane was rerouted amid suspi-
cions that NSA leaker Edward
Snowden was on board.
Morales again blamed
Washington for pressuring
European countries to refuse to
allow his plane to fly through
their airspace on Tuesday, forcing
it to land in Vienna, Austria, in
what he called a violation of inter-
national law. He had been return-
ing from a summit in Russia dur-
ing which he had suggested he
would be willing to consider a
request from Snowden for asylum.
Morales made his announce-
ment as the leaders of Venezuela,
Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay and
Suriname joined him in the
Bolivian city of Cochabamba on
Thursday for a special meeting to
address the diplomatic row.
In a joint statement read after
the summit, the presidents
demanded an

from France,
Italy, Portugal
and Spain. They
also said they

cial complaint

Latin American leaders were out-
raged by the incident, calling it a
violation of national sovereignty
and a slap in the face for a region
that has suffered through humilia-
tions by Europe and several U.S.-
backed military coups.
"United we will defeat American
imperialism. We met with the
leaders of my party and they asked
us for several measures and if nec-
essary, we will close the embassy
of the United States," Morales said
in the city where he started his
political career as a leader of coca
leaf farmers. "We do not need the
embassy of the United States."
Morales' government has had a
conflictive relationship with
It expelled the U.S. ambassador
and agents of the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration in
2008 for allegedly inciting the
opposition. The Andean nation
restored full diplomatic ties with
the U.S. in 2011. But relations
soured again amid mutual distrust
on drug war politics and hit an

other leaders were offering full

Venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro protested alleged attempts
by Spanish officials to search the
Bolivian presidential plane.
Argentine President Cristina
Fernandez said Latin Americans
treasured freedom after fighting for
their independence from Europe in
the 19th century and then surviv-
ing Washington's 20th-century
history of backing repressive
regimes in the Americas.
She then demanded an apology
for the plane ordeal.
"I'm asking those who violated
the law in calm but serious man-
ner, to take responsibility for the
errors made, it's the least they can
do," Fernandez said. "To apolo-

"Who takes the decision to
attack the president of a South
American nation?" Maduro asked.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano
"Rajoy has been abusive by trying
to search Morales' plane in Spain.
He has no right to breach interna-
tional law. "
Morales, long a fierce critic of
U.S. policy toward Latin America,
received a hero's welcome in an
airport in the Bolivian capital of
La Paz late Wednesday night. His
return followed the dramatic,

He urged European nations to
"free themselves" from the United
States. "The United States is using
its agent (Snowden) and the presi-
dent (of Bolivia) to intimidate the
whole region," he said.
