Bike sold for $5 once
belonged to Floyd Landis
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The bicycle had
two flat tires, but Greg Estes figured the
$5 asking price still made it a great bar-
gain at a yard sale. Little did he know just
how great.
Estes checked on the bike’s origin after
buying it in Owenton this month. He was
shocked to learn it may be worth as much
as $8,000 and was custom built for
cycling star Floyd Landis, who used it in
the 2007 Leadville 100, a mountain bike
race in Colorado.
Landis crashed but finished second in
that race, which was shortly after his vic-
tory in the 2006 Tour de France, a win
since vacated due to doping charges.
“It’s a Cadillac of bicycles, that’s for
sure,” said Estes, 38, of Owenton. “It’s
just unreal how good it rides.”
A sticker on the bike told him it was
custom built by Cyco-Path Bicycles out of
Temecula, Calif., near San Diego. Store
Landis’ crashed bicycle as identical to the
model Estes was describing.
“It’s even got the same under-the-seat
gear bag, the same tires,” Foley said. “It’s
definitely the same bike.”
As for value, Foley said Estes could
expect to collect $5,500 to $6,000 for it on
the open market — maybe quite a bit
more if he gets actual value or a premium
because it once belonged to a celebrity.
For fun, Estes put the bike in his own
yard sale, replacing the $5 price tag with a
$6,000 one. He got no takers, but a lot of
perplexed looks.
He says he planned to resell it ever since
he bought it, and certainly does now.
“I was planning on making a couple
hundred dollars off it,” Estes said. “Never
dreamed it would come out to be an
$8,000 bicycle. Kind of just blows your
mind, something like that.”
Estes says he understands how the bike
got discounted. Besides the flat tires, it
had pedals that the yard sale owner
thought were broken but actually are the
smaller, clip-in pedals used by serious rid-
ers.

Felton J.Suen
Obituary

Felton J. Suen of Millbrae died peacefully at

his home Aug. 4 after a long period of illness.
He was just two months short of his 85th birth-
day.
Felton grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown
attending Francisco Junior High and graduating
in 1944 from Galileo High
School. He was on the high
school basketball, track and
swimming teams earning
the block “G” for his athlet-
ic efforts. An avid swim-
mer, he held a lifelong
interest in sports especially
horse racing at Bay
Meadows. Along with his
twin brother Winston, he
was an active bowler for many decades partici-
pating in leagues in the Bay Area.
A U.S. Army veteran, Felton served as a sup-
ply clerk in the 43rd Engineering Construction
Battalion until his honorable discharge in 1947.
After completing his military duties, Felton
returned to San Francisco to work in the furrier
business until his retirement in the early 1990s.
Felton and Winston cared for their aging par-
Boxer’s past campaigns unlike this year’s
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — California Democrat
Barbara Boxer has been charmed in her three
previous runs for the Senate.
Her first race was in 1992, nicknamed the
Year of the Woman, when female voters in
California made their presence felt after the
confirmation hearings for Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas.
Her re-election campaign six years later
came as California’s economy sailed along
and as voters felt more optimistic about the
country’s direction than just about any other
time in the last quarter century.
Her third Senate campaign took place as the
ranks of Democrats soared in California and
in the midst of growing anger and pessimism
about the war in Iraq. Boxer was one of the
war’s leading critics.
No politician wins three terms to the U.S.
Senate without a strong resume and campaign
presence, but it’s also clear
that Boxer has run under
favorable political condi-
tions that bear little resem-
blance to what she faces
this year.
One of the Senate’s most
liberal members finds her-
self battling for a fourth
Barbara Boxer term amid a struggling
economy, a general anti-
incumbent mood and persistent Republican
criticism of government spending.
Another potential vulnerability for Boxer:
Republican challenger Carly Fiorina is her
first female challenger in a Senate race, mut-
ing a potential advantage in a state where
women comprise the majority of the elec-
torate.
That’s why the race between Boxer and
Fiorina is considered a toss-up, even in a state
that tilts heavily Democratic in statewide elec-
tions.
“It’s the first time
Barbara Boxer has run
when she’s swimming
against the tide instead of
with the tide,” said Ken
Khachigian, a campaign
adviser for Fiorina.
Boxer is aware she has a
fight on her hands: The
Carly Fiorina most recent fundraising
reports show she has more
than $11 million in the bank and expects to
spend at least $35 million. But she adamantly
disputes any contention that the political cli-
mate is worse now than during previous races.
“I think my first race was tougher, and I
think my race with Matt Fong was tougher,”
Boxer said.
Indeed, Boxer has consistently said all her
races have been tough, and for the most part,
she’s right, but she appears to be discounting
some of the favorable events she had going for
her in her previous races.

ents at their home on Mason Street in San
Francisco for many years. The two brothers
moved to Daly City after their parents passing.
Shortly after Winston’s death, Felton moved to
Marymount Greenshills in Millbrae.
Felton was preceded in death by his parents
Ben and Ruby Owyang Suen and his brothers
Lawrence and Winston. He leaves behind his
brother Warren and sister-in-law Rose, sister-
in-law Betty Suen, nephews Brian, Clifford,
Richard, Gary, Michael and Perry Suen, niece
Arleen Suen, grandnephew Nathan Suen and
grandnieces Christina Norbygaard, Aimee,
Rachel and Rebecca Suen.
The memorial service will be noon at
Woodlawn Memorial Park, Colma, Saturday,
Aug. 28. In lieu of flowers, a donation in the
name of Felton Suen can be made to the San
Francisco Chinatown YMCA for the benefit of
the youth today who share the services once
available to Felton in his childhood.

Obamas:‘Don’t give in to fear’
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — Flying thou-
sands of miles to reap millions of
dollars, President Barack Obama is
dashing across the country to help
his party retain power, essentially
offering one familiar argument:
Republicans don’t solve problems.
“Don’t give in to fear,” Obama
said Monday in his latest ominous
vision of a country led by the oppo-
sition party. “Let’s reach for hope.”
Obama has settled on his message
for the pivotal midterm elections,
which means what he said Monday
in Milwaukee will sound like what
he says Tuesday in Seattle and
Wednesday in Miami. He is cover-
ing more than 8,000 freewheeling
miles in three days, the kind of per-
sonal attention that gets donors to
the door.
This week offers not just a win-
dow for Obama to campaign —
Congress is gone, his summer vaca-
tion awaits — but also a window into
his thinking about the fall campaign.
Despite deep voter impatience over
the sickly economy, the White
House is betting people will stick
with Democrats if the choice is
framed as one between those who
act and those who obstruct.
President Barack Obama speaks during an event for Milwaukee Mayor
Tom Barrett at the U.S.Cellular Arena in Milwaukee,Wis.
On Monday, he warned of reliving
a dreadful past, saying Republicans
want voters “to be afraid of the
future.”
“The worst thing we could do is to
go back to the very same policies
that created this mess in the first
place,” Obama said at a fundraiser in
Wisconsin. “In November, you’re
going to have that choice.”
Obama has advanced all the big
parts of his agenda — the massive
stimulus spending bill, health care

reform, the rewriting of rules for
Wall Street — with little or no
Republican support. Republicans
counter that the president’s policies
have come at a huge cost to taxpay-
ers far into the future without the
payoff many voters want most: jobs.
Obama’s campaign speech is filled
with lines he has used for weeks. As
intended, they usually yield fresh
laughs and applause from local,
friendly audiences who have never
had occasion to hear them before.
Gates plans to
retire next year
WASHINGTON — Defense
Secretary Robert Gates said in a
magazine inter-
view he wants to
leave the
Pentagon some-
time next year,
setting off furi-
ous speculation
as to who might
take his place.
His top aides,
Robert Gates meanwhile, tried
to tamp down expectations that any
decision had been made.
“Every time Secretary Gates has
seriously considered hanging it up
for good, he ultimately has decided
to keep serving,” said Pentagon
Press Secretary Geoff Morrell. “So
my personal advice would be to wait
for a real announcement or better yet
wait to see what happens next year.”
Off-roaders worry accident

LOS ANGELES — Fans of long-
distance off-roading have seen the
number of federal sites where they

environmental concerns.

review announced Monday into a
weekend race accident that killed
eight and injured 10 more in the
Mojave Desert could lead to further
restrictions — or even spell the end
— of their sport.
“Whatever it takes to make it bet-
ter,” race promoter Lou Peralta said.
“But we don’t want to lose the
sport.”
White House: Politics
no role in mosque remarks
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE —
A White House spokesman says pol-
itics wasn’t a factor in President
Barack Obama’s remarks about
building a mosque near the site of
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New
York City.
Deputy White House press secre-
tary Bill Burton said it was “not pol-
itics” but Obama’s feeling that he
had the obligation as president to
“make sure people are treated equal-
ly” under the Constitution.
Obama has said that religious free-
dom allows the mosque to be built,
but without commenting on the wis-
dom of building one two blocks
from ground zero. Republicans have
pounded him for his comments,
making it a prime midterm election
issue.

Safeway evacuated after

Employees at a Menlo Park Safeway
store had a scare early Monday morning
when police evacuated the store search-
ing for armed men.
A woman called police sometime
around 1 a.m. after she believed she saw
two people carrying guns enter the store
on Sharon Park Drive, police said.
Police arrived within minutes and sur-
rounded the building, then evacuated the
store. An extensive search failed to turn up
any gunmen, and police said the woman
was simply mistaken in what she saw.
Police, however, still encourage resi-
dents who think they are witnessing a
crime in progress to contact them imme-
diately.
The Palo Alto Police Department and

assisted in the response.

Petraeus media blitz seeks to calm fears
KABUL, Afghanistan — A weekend media blitz by the
Army’s public relations master sent a clear message: It’s not
time to hit the panic button in Afghanistan,
but success in the nearly 9-year war won’t
come quickly.
The appeal for patience by Gen. David
Petraeus, made in a series of media inter-
views Sunday, also suggests he may pro-
pose that only a few troops begin leaving
next July, as President Barack Obama has
promised.

‘Miracle’ in Colombia jet crash: One dies, 130 live
BOGOTA, Colombia — A Boeing 737 jetliner filled with
vacationers crashed in a thunderstorm and broke apart as it
slid onto the runway on a Caribbean island Monday. Only one
of the 131 people on board died, and the island’s governor
called it a miracle.
The plane hit short of the runway on Colombia’s San
Andres Island and skidded on its belly as the fuselage frac-
tured and bits of landing gear and at least one engine were
ripped off. The jet wound up on one end of the runway, crum-
pled and in pieces, as passengers scrambled or were helped to
safety.
Iran details plans for new mountain nuke sites
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Monday it has decided where
to build 10 new uranium enrichment sites inside protected
mountain strongholds and will start construction on the first in
March, defying international efforts to curb its nuclear pro-
gram.
Enriching uranium creates fuel for nuclear power plants but
can also, if taken to higher levels, produce the material for
weapons and Iran’s growing capacity in this process is at the
center of its dispute with the international community.

Scrutiny of deep-water drilling rises
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The government
said Monday it is toughening environ-
mental reviews for all new deepwater oil
drilling, ending an easy path to oil rich-
es that allowed BP to drill its blown-out
well in the Gulf of Mexico with little
federal scrutiny.
The step is meant to help redress a his-
tory of lax oversight leading up to the
April 20 explosion that killed 11 work-
ers and led to the worst oil spill in U.S.
history. Some 206 million gallons
spilled into the Gulf before BP stopped
the leak at the Macondo well.

Revamption favored
among senior citizen groups
Editor,
The foresight, wise-planning and
dedication of our forefathers who
created and wrote the Constitution
of the United States may never be
equaled again throughout our histo-
ry.
But those who created Social
Security and Medicare made them
the law of the land and deserve a
few high marks of their own for
providing financial assistance to
millions of senior citizens for more
than half a century.
They provided “comfort” to
those who had saved, kept those
who hadn’t saved from disaster and
rescued the handicapped from
extreme poverty.
Both programs have surplus
funds today, which could run out in
two decades if Congress fails to
take charge and revamp them to
meet future financial funding.
Many senior groups are urging
Congress to do that now while
Democrats are in control and we
have a president that favors a
revamption.
Most Republicans in Congress
want to either privatize both pro-
grams or cut their fundings entire-
ly. With the economy barely limp-
ing along, that would devastate the
nation into a deep depression.

Caution: Death-cap
mushrooms deadly
Editor,
Sept. 4 will mark the year
anniversary of the tragic death of
our beloved family pet Maggie.
She died suddenly in September
last year from ingesting death-cap
mushrooms that are prevalent in
the Bay Area. They thrive in damp
weather and greenbelts that are
watered frequently especially in
and around Foster City. Since her
death, there have been a handful of
pets that have died suddenly
because of these deadly mush-
rooms in the Bay Area. This is a
sad reminder that it can happen to
any dog, even if your pet does not
have a habit of eating or picking up
strange things during your morning
walk. Our mixed-breed dachshund
did not stand a chance. It only took
a day after ingestion for her death
sentence to be sealed. Your publi-
cation did a story about our
Maggie in December of last year
and it did raise awareness of the
dangers of Amanita Phalloides.
Please help me remind people
again that the dangers of death
caps have not gone away. An
acquaintance in the East Bay con-
tacted me recently and let me know
that there was a death of a puppy
from death-cap poisoning.
It is painfully important for pet
owners to following these simple
steps: Keep your backyard clear of
anything that remotely resembles

As with any closet-cleaning ritu-
al, there will be difficult moments.
Instead of the traditional “I’d wear

linked to the cleaning of clothes

bathroom is now green and its pat-
tern completely clashes with the

when a spare will come in handy.
If the sprucing extends to the
space under the bathroom sink,
there is also the fear of accidentally

Newer math isn’t as good
Editor,
The Daily Journal recently pub-
lished an article (“Math standards
cheered-with some concern,” in the
Aug. 4 edition) which really caught
my attention. As a person who is
less than stellar at mathematics, I
felt saddened by what I read.
California recently adopted the
Common Core Standards “which
makes small changes to the English
curriculum and introduce[s] alge-
bra to students earlier.”
Students in the state of California
will be required to take algebra 1
in eighth grade, rather than having
the option to take it later in high

math class I took in eighth grade, I
would have lacked the skills neces-
sary to progress to algebra.
Everyone learns at their own pace
and we all possess different
strengths. I wouldn’t have been
able to pass an algebra class in
middle school; however, that in no
way reflects my abilities as a stu-

NEW YORK — Stocks managed to
break a four-day losing streak Monday
by the slimmest of margins. Investors
had no change of heart about the econo-
my, however, and again poured money
into the safety of U.S. Treasurys.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fluctuated along with the other big mar-
ket indexes throughout the day. The Dow
closed down just over a point, but the
other indexes had slight gains. There
were more winners than losers on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Investors were dealing with more
downbeat economic news, but it wasn’t
bad enough to set off significant selling.
A report on manufacturing in New York
state fell short of forecasts and Japan
became the latest country to show signs
of slowing growth. The reports raised
investors’ concerns about the pace of the
global economic recovery.
Analysts said Monday’s short buying
spurt was a pause following four days of
losses that sent the Dow down almost
400 points.

put fell behind its giant neighbor for the

the news is more proof of China’s arrival

Gov’t probing steering problems in 2010 Kia Soul

Petersen a national champion

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Jessie Petersen is still a relative
novice when it comes to the steeple-
chase.
In sports, however, few things trump
sheer athleticism and hard work, and
Petersen is Exhibit A in that regard.
Competing in the steeplechase for
just the fourth time in her career, the
incoming Carlmont High senior blew
away the field to win the event two
weeks ago at the AAU Track and Field
Junior Olympic Games on the campus
of Norfolk State University in Virginia.
Competing for track club RF United,
Petersen won the 2,000-meter steeple-
chase in the young women’s division
in a personal-best time of 7 minutes,
11.79 seconds. How dominant was
Petersen? Oteia Prince of Tennessee
was a distant second, nearly 35 sec-
onds behind.
Petersen has three firsts and one sec-
ond-place finish to her credit in the
event, with the runner-up finish com-
ing at last summer’s Junior Olympics
in Des Moines, Iowa. Petersen was
elated with her performance, especial-
ly when you consider the fact that she
only trains — for a couple of weeks,
tops — for the steeplechase during the
summer club season.
“I was really pleased with the PR
(personal record) obviously,” said
Petersen, who also placed second in
the 3,000-meter run and sixth in the
1,500. “Going into the race, I really
wasn’t that confident because I hadn’t
spent much time working on the hur-
dles or speed (work). I’ve been doing
more cross-training getting ready for
(the high school) cross-country (sea-
son), so it was good to know I could
win it on just pure strength.”
For Petersen, the toughest part about
the steeplechase is the jumping portion
of the event. There are a total of five
hurdles, one of which is over a water
pit. Petersen still isn’t fully comfort-
able hurdling, but she’s getting there.
The water hurdle is still the toughest
portion of the race for Petersen who,
like many runners, was simply looking
to avoid an embarrassing face plant
like the first time she competed in the
event last year.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND — Shaun Marcum pitched a

one-hitter, allowing only a home run to Conor
Jackson leading off the seventh inning, and

Jose Bautista hit a controversial inside-the-
park home run to lift the Toronto Blue Jays
over Oakland Athletics, 3-1 on Monday night.
The A’s were held hitless late for the second
straight day. Minnesota’s Kevin Slowey didn’t
allow a hit through seven innings Sunday
before being pulled. Oakland got its first hit
with one out in the eighth against Jon Rauch.
Edwin Encarnacion also homered for
Toronto. Jose Molina matched his career high
with four hits for the Blue Jays, who have won
eight of the last 10 games between the two
teams.
Marcum (11-6) missed most of last season
after undergoing Tommy John surgery Sept.
30, 2008. He faced only two batters over the
minimum before Jackson homered and fin-
ished for his first career complete game.
Marcum also took a no-hitter into the seventh
against Tampa Bay on May 7, 2008, before
being lifted because of a high pitch count.
Prior to Jackson’s homer, the closest the A’s
came to getting a hit came when Cliff
Pennington hit a slow grounder to
Encarnacion with one out in the sixth. The
third baseman fumbled with the ball and threw
late to first base, allowing Pennington to reach
safely. The play was ruled an error and the
sparse crowd at the Oakland Coliseum booed.
Marcum, who was trying for the majors’
sixth no-hitter this season, retired the first
eight batters before hitting Pennington, the
No. 9 hitter, with a pitch. Pennington was later
thrown out trying to steal second. Daric
Barton walked with one out in the fourth but
was left stranded.
Jackson’s home run, a towering blast over
the wall in left-center, is his first since being
acquired from Arizona in a trade on June 15.
Marcum retired the final nine batters after
Jackson’s drive. He finished with one walk
and five strikeouts, rebounding nicely from his
last outing when he gave up a career-high four

ARLINGTON, Texas — Vladimir

Doping head says MLB letting fans down
By Michael Casey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SINGAPORE — World Anti-
Doping Agency chief John Fahey
said Monday that Major League
Baseball is “misleading” the public
by its continued refusal to institute a
transparent and rigorous drug test-
ing program.
Fahey said the integrity of the
game will eventually be called into
question and fans will show their
disapproval by refusing to attend
games. WADA has repeatedly criti-
cized MLB for what it considers
inadequate testing.

of sport will come into question and

going into Monday’s games was 21
points higher than the next-closest
AL player and 40 points better than
the NL leader.
And Hamilton is still a slugger
with 37 doubles, 26 home runs and
80 RBIs. He has also been excep-
tional in the outfield with highlight-
reel catches and laser throws to get
seven assists and keep runners from
taking extra bases.
This is what Hamilton always felt
he was capable of doing, though he
believes he can still be more consis-
tent.
“As far as numbers go, this is
something I think I can do on a reg-
ular basis,” he said, responding to a
question with a confidence that did-
n’t come across as cocky.

in that context they have to think
about the future of their game,”
Fahey said in an interview with The

“The public doesn’t like to be
taken for a ride and they will march
accordingly,” Fahey said. “If you
say come to the contest, am I going
to watch who has the best chemist?
You don’t go to watch that.”
Rob Manfred, baseball’s execu-
tive vice president of labor rela-
tions, did not respond to a request
for comment.
In March, Fahey called on MLB
and its union to start testing for
human growth hormone. Baseball

Boston lost two of three over the

although the effectiveness of the
plan has been questioned.
Players who are not on 40-man
major league rosters are not mem-

blood testing for them is not subject
to collective bargaining. The Major

Association has long been against

series opener when Hamilton led
Texas back from a six-run deficit to
an 11-inning victory.
Hamilton had four hits and scored
four times, including when he raced
home from second base on
Guerrero’s two-out infield hit to tie
the game in the eighth inning. He
already had a homer and two run-
ning, leaping catches in center.
That performance reminded Texas
manager Ron Washington of what
he used to see when Hall of Fame
center fielder Kirby Puckett was his
teammate in Minnesota.
Washington also lauded how fleet of
foot the 6-foot-4, 240-pound
Hamilton is.
“Hamilton is a horse. No, he’s not

Washington said. “What you’re see-

many of the recommendations of

George Mitchell.
In contrast, Fahey said WADA
was having ongoing discussions
with the NFL and has for the first
time managed to “get into the front

said. “I think the interesting thing is

Fahey said WADA would have to
be patient in working with any
sports league in the United States

world where testing usually is over-

or government testing authorities.
“They are privately owned so
there is no pressure that can brought
to bear,” Fahey said. “The American
government can’t do anything about
that. The (sports leagues) have to

49ers send disgruntled Balmer to Seahawks
By Janie McCauley

SANTA CLARA — Defensive
lineman Kentwan Balmer was trad-

from the San Francisco 49ers over

The Seahawks will send an undis-

The Seahawks expected Balmer
to arrive in town Monday night and
be ready to practice Tuesday. Coach
Pete Carroll said a roster move
would be made once Balmer got
there.
“He’s a big strong kid,” Carroll
said. “He’s another guy that can

Last Thursday, the 49ers signed

The 23-year-old Balmer is enter-

but I’ll be the guy right behind him pushing

Westbrook, who turns 31 on Sept. 2, was
released by the Philadelphia Eagles in
February after an injury-filled 2009 season.
He had been looking for a new team ever
since, talking to several coaches from various
franchises.
“When I talked to Brian Westbrook, I just
wanted him to know how much I respected
him as a player. The fact that he’s still there at
this point, I’m just thankful that he was an
option,” Singletary. “The more we talked and
the possibility of that being able to work out,
it was great. But the thing I wanted him to
know about our team and about Frank: ’Frank
Gore is the guy. Frank Gore is our running
back. I don’t want to lie to you and have you
think something different and when you get
here it’s like wait a minute, I could have gone
somewhere else.”’
Westbrook has rushed for 5,995 yards and
37 touchdowns on 1,308 carries in eight NFL
seasons all with the Eagles and also caught
426 passes for 3,790 yards and 29 TDs.
Westbrook knows it will take him a little
time to get acclimated to a new playbook.
The Niners had a void to fill after Glen
Coffee, Gore’s backup, abruptly announced
he was leaving football after one NFL season.
While Singletary had high hopes for
Coffee’s career, he is thrilled to get a veteran
with Westbrook’s resume.
“It’s a very young offense. We’ve got a lot
of tools, young guys,” Singletary said. “I think
he really adds a lot of value in terms of the
of good football teams. That adds a lot to our
team on the offensive side of the ball.”
Westbrook led the NFL with 2,104 yards
from scrimmage in 2007, but missed eight
games last season with a pair of concussions
and an ankle injury while scoring only two
touchdowns.
He insists doctors have told him he’s good
to go and Westbrook doesn’t fear taking
another hard hit. Yet he welcomes a fresh start
with the Niners.
“I am fully healthy. In my mind, last year
was a tough season for me,” he said. “I spent
the whole offseason rehabbing, I didn’t have
time to prepare for the season so I kind of
went into the season blind without any prepa-
ration at all. So it was a tough year. I was
playing catch up the entire season and obvi-
ously wasn’t able to do that. This year, I’ve
been able to spend my whole offseason
preparing for a football season. Now that my
body is completely healthy, I’m ready to go
out there and perform.”
Notes: TE Vernon Davis (strained right
knee) was listed as day to day to return.
“Whatever he needs,” Singletary said of
Davis’ timetable. “He looks good, looks
strong.” ... LB Travis LaBoy, who sustained a
concussion the first week, was cleared to prac-

Braden and Toronto’s Brandon Morrow are
scheduled to pitch against each other on
Tuesday. Braden pitched the majors’ first per-
saw who he went to,” coach Tom Cable said
Monday. Campbell and Miller have quickly built a
strong rapport in their few months together fol-
lowing the draft-day trade that brought the quar-
terback to Oakland to replace JaMarcus Russell as
the starter for the Raiders.
The two hit it off during offseason workouts,
and that chemistry has carried over to training
camp, where Miller is often the player Campbell
goes to most — especially in difficult situations.
“We have good trust,” Miller said. “On certain
routes he knows I’m going to win. We have a good
feel for each other already on where I’m going to
be. I try just to be consistent for him and make the
plays for him so he keeps coming my way.”
Campbell relied heavily on the tight end in
Washington, where Chris Cooley was often his
most trusted target. Cooley caught 83 passes in
2008 before being slowed by an injury last season.
So it was only natural for him to start looking for
Miller as soon as he got to Oakland.
fect game this year for the A’s on May 9 while
Morrow lost his bid for a no-hitter with two
outs in the ninth inning against Tampa Bay on
Aug. 8.
Bautista hit a 3-0 pitch from Brett Anderson
that cleared the wall in left field but hit the
pole and bounced back onto the field.
Third base umpire Tim Timmons pointed
toward the turf, signaling the ball in play.
Jackson, Oakland’s left fielder, watched with
his back against the wall as the ball bounced
toward the infield as Bautista raced around the
bases for what was ruled an inside-the-park
home run.

only six states hold the steeplechase

not to let his club touch the ground.
Then again, shouldn’t tournament organiz-
ers have had to make it clear that Johnson’s
ball was, indeed, in a bunker and not just
some area matted down by a weekend of
fans? With spectators standing, sitting and
kneeling in the bunker, it was not entirely
clear he was in a sand trap — although there
was no mistaking it was a designed hazard

My question is: does the PGA, officially,

find a couple of bloggers who suggested the
PGA has instituted replay to determine if an
infraction had been committed, but nothing to
back up their claims. The PGA needs to come
out and definitively state whether the broad-

replay or not.
By all accounts, it is being used, which
leads me to another question: is every golfer

Testing could save athletes young and old
By Eric Heiden
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
It’s the time of year when school
sports start gearing up for fall with
two-a-day football practices, after-
noon soccer scrimmages and long
cross-country runs. Unfortunately,
it’s also the time of year when we
start hearing about young athletes
— seemingly healthy, robust kids
— who die suddenly on the field.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, every year
between one and three out of every
100,000 young athletes suffer sud-
den death due to cardiac problems
that had never been diagnosed.
Adult athletes are also susceptible.
The numbers are definitely small,
but they are significant, especially
if they involve someone close to
you. Also significant is that over
50 percent of these tragic deaths
are preventable through screening.
In many parts of the world, the
testing of every child with an inter-
est in sports is the law. In some
areas of Europe, screening for
heart disease, using an ECG,
begins at age 12. There is no such
law in the United States, since the
cost-benefit ratio of the screening
is still open for discussion. Some
children’s sports programs require
that athletes get a doctor’s pre-par-
ticipation evaluation note, but doc-
tors are often asked to sign the
form without even seeing the
patient for the purpose of assess-
ing them for strenuous exercise.
Thus, many Americans reach
adulthood having never been
screened via a supervised exercise
stress test.
Before you allow your children
to participate in any strenuous
physical activity this fall, and
before you begin an exercise pro-
gram — even if you have been fit
in the past — discuss the following
topics relevant to athletic screen-
ing with your doctor:
1. Your past medical history (or
your child’s), with a focus on car-
diovascular disease, high blood
pressure, elevated cholesterol, dia-
betes, asthma or allergies and mus-
culoskeletal conditions.
2. Your family history for sudden
death, coronary heart disease
(especially in first-degree relatives
under age 50), stroke, hyperten-
sion and diabetes.
3. Your social history for ciga-
rette smoking, drug use and exer-
cise habits.
4. A review of your systems,
paying particular attention to exer-
cise-related symptoms such as
fainting, light-headedness, short-
ness of breath, wheezing, chest
pain or tightness, palpitations,
headache and so on.
We also recommend a general
physical exam, starting with your
height and weight in order to
assess your BMI (the ratio
HEALTH Tuesday • Aug. 17, 2010 17
between your weight and the
square of your height; we offer
instructions for doing this on our
Web site: www.fasterbetter-
stronger.com), and including an
accurate measurement of your
blood pressure, ideally in resting
condition and again after a short
effort, like a step test, a handgrip
test or going up stairs. Based on
the findings, your doctor will
determine if you need further tests,
such as blood work, a pulmonary
function test (PFT), a stress test or
more.
Knowing your risk factors or
that of your child can be very
motivating, because proper exer-
cise will help lower that risk sig-
nificantly. If you belong to a high-
risk category (for example, you are
an overweight, sedentary male
smoker, over 45, with high blood
pressure and a family history of
heart attacks), you are the perfect
candidate for exercise — you can
get better, but you will need to see
your doctor before you begin.
Exercise could become a signifi-

Cancer is the world’s costliest disease
Cancer’s economic toll was $895 billion in 2008 — equivalent to 1.5 percent of the world’s gross

U.S. Supreme Court. They said they were sat-
isfied the appeals court had agreed to expe-
dite its consideration of the Proposition 8
case by scheduling oral arguments for the
week of Dec. 6.
“We are very gratified that the 9th Circuit
has recognized the importance and the press-
ing nature of this case by issuing this
extremely expedited briefing schedule,” said
Ted Boutrous, a member of the plaintiffs’
legal team. “Proposition 8 harms gay and les-
bian citizens every day it remains on the
books.”
Attorneys for sponsors of the voter-
approved measure applauded the decision. In
seeking the emergency stay, they had argued
that sanctioning same-sex unions while the
case was on appeal would create legal chaos
HEALTH
if the ban is eventually upheld.
“I think the basic notion that this case is not
final until it’s gone through the complete
appellate process really prevailed,” said
Douglas Napier, a lawyer with the Alliance
Defense Fund, a Christian legal firm.
“Rather than have this kind of pingpong
effect of having the decision overturned,
appealed and then overturned again, it’s bet-
ter to have this kind of decision,” he said.
Under the timetable laid out Monday, it
was doubtful a decision would come down
from the 9th Circuit before next year.
A different three-judge panel than the one
that issued Monday’s decision will be
assigned to decide the constitutional question
that many believe will eventually end up
before the Supreme Court and further delay a
final outcome.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cancer is the world’s top “economic
killer” as well as its likely leading cause of
death, the American Cancer Society con-
tends in a new report it will present at a
global cancer conference in China this
week.
Cancer costs more in productivity and lost
life than AIDS, malaria, the flu and other
diseases that spread person-to-person, the
report concludes.
Chronic diseases including cancer, heart
disease and diabetes account for more than
60 percent of deaths worldwide but less than
3 percent of public and private funding for
global health, said Rachel Nugent of the
Center for Global Development, a
Washington-based policy research group.
Money shouldn’t be taken away from
fighting diseases that spread person-to-per-
son, but the amount devoted to cancer is way
out of whack with the impact it has, said
to overrule a state Supreme Court ruling that
legalized same-sex unions earlier that year.
“I’m sad, but I’m also glad that I didn’t pay
the $100 to reserve an appointment at the
clerk’s office,” said Thea Lavin, 31, of San
Francisco, who had planned to wed her part-
ner, Jess Gabbert, 30, if the stay were denied.
“This has happened so many times before
where we take two steps forward, one step
back.”
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn
Walker had ordered state officials to stop
enforcing Proposition 8 beginning late
Wednesday afternoon after ruling Aug. 4 that
the ban violated the equal protection and due
process rights of gays and lesbians guaran-
teed under the U.S. Constitution.
The ban’s backers appealed that ruling and
also asked the 9th Circuit to block same-sex
weddings in the meantime. They claimed in
papers filed with the 9th Circuit that gay mar-
riages would harm the state’s interest in pro-
moting responsible procreation through het-
erosexual marriage.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Otis Brawley, the cancer society’s chief
medical officer.
Cancer’s economic toll was $895 billion
in 2008 — equivalent to 1.5 percent of the
world’s gross domestic product, the report
says. That’s in terms of disability and years
of life lost — not the cost of treating the dis-
ease, which wasn’t addressed in the report.
The World Health Organization has long
predicted that cancer would overtake heart
disease this year as the leading cause of
death. About 7.6 million people died of can-
cer in 2008, and about 12.4 million new
cases are diagnosed each year.
Tobacco use and obesity are fueling a rise
in chronic diseases, while vaccines and bet-
ter treatments have led to drops in some
infectious diseases.
Many groups have been pushing for more
attention to non-infectious causes of death,
and the United Nations General Assembly
has set a meeting on this a year from now.
Some policy experts are comparing it to the
global initiative that led to big increases in
spending on AIDS nearly a decade ago.
Lawyers for two same-sex couples had
joined with California Attorney General Jerry
Brown in urging the appeals court to allow
the weddings this week, arguing that keeping
the ban in place any longer would harm the
civil rights of gays and lesbians.
In a two-page order granting the stay, the
appeals court panel did not indicate why it
was keeping Proposition 8 in effect until it
could consider the appeal of Walker’s verdict.
But it ordered Proposition 8 sponsors to
address in their opening brief due Sept. 17
whether they even have the legal right to try
to have the trial judge’s ruling overturned.
Both California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
and state Attorney General Jerry Brown, the
original defendants in the case, have said they
support same-sex marriage and refused to
defend Proposition 8 in court.
Walker presided over a 13-day trial earlier
this year that was the first in federal court to
examine if states can prohibit gays from get-
ting married without violating the constitu-
tional guarantee of equality.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Protecting the future health of our boys
By Lilian Presti
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
A fascinating yet shocking development has
been transpiring over the past few decades:
The world is slowly starting to lose its boys
through declining male births. This recent
phenomenon has a lot to do with the steady
infiltration of hormone-disrupting chemicals
in our daily lives — chemicals such as bisphe-
nol-A and phthalates.
Over the past few decades, male birth rates
have declined in many industrialized coun-
tries. Several studies, including one from
2007 out of the University of Pittsburgh, have
shown that male births have decreased in the
U.S. and Japan, enough to be statistically sig-
nificant. The math works out to about 17
fewer male births per 10,000 in the U.S., and
as many as 37 fewer male births per 10,000 in
Japan.
Historically, boys have always outnum-
bered girls at birth at a rate of about 105 boys
to 100 girls. Many think this was due to an
evolutionary development that compensated
for the inevitable deaths of more men due to
hunting and other dangerous activities, such
as war. However, current statistics are telling
a different story.
Not only are we seeing fewer boys being
born around the world but we’re also see-
ing an increase in physical feminization of
boys whose mothers were exposed to high
levels of these chemicals. Boys in the
modern world are increasingly being born
with smaller penises and improperly
descended testicles. Additionally, male
sperm rates have decreased significantly
over the last few decades and continue to
do so, contributing to the growing fertility
HEALTH
issues that are being noted.
The problem for boys occurs because males
tend to be more sensitive to disruptive
chemicals at the embryonic stage, as
well as throughout development.
This puts them at greater risk to
be miscarried, and they are more
likely to suffer from genital
birth defects, lower
testosterone levels
and a increased risk
of testicular cancer
as they age.
This phenomenon
is not exclusive to humans.
It’s also being widely
observed within the animal
kingdom with frequent
reports of fish, birds and
crocodiles, among other
species, experiencing gen-
der issues due to contami-
nation within water
sources.
Interestingly, the older
age of parents at the time
of their child’s birth and a
growing reliance on fertili-
ty treatments also contribute to
an increase in female births.
Even times of stress tend
to favor females births over males.
So what does this mean for the human race?
Well, it means that if these trends aren’t
reversed we could see future generations with
a disproportionate number of females. Aside
from the obvious issue of mating imbalances,
some experts speculate that this could be the
first step in our own extinction, as fewer
healthy males with healthy sperm will be
available to propagate the species.
Nowhere is this trend more visible than in
Sarnia, Ontario, a small town
west of Toronto. For the
last 15 years, Sarnia has
experienced a sharp
increase in the number of
girls born, with close to
65 percent of births being
females, and 35 percent
being males. Scientists
link this unusual dispar-
ity to industry in the
city that has

significant pollution.
Other parts of the world share similar sto-
ries. In Seveso, Italy, male births dropped
after a chemical accident led to the contami-
nation of residents’ bodies, and highly pollut-
ed areas in places such as Sao Paulo, Brazil,
have also noted sharp declines in male births.
Are there any solutions to this potential
catastrophe? The main strategy for all women
and men of childbearing age is to avoid
unnecessary exposure to endocrine disrupting
chemicals, heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins.
This involves taking a look at eliminating
sources of contaminants, such as plastics and
other artificial materials used within the
home, avoiding body care products that con-
tain phthalates and dioxins, and eating a
cleaner diet devoid of metals and harmful pes-
ticides.
It is also important to note that the greatest
threat comes as the fetus is first developing, so
pregnant women and women who are trying
to conceive should be vigilant about what they
expose their bodies to.
As conscious citizens, we need to under-
stand that our external world soon becomes
the internal, and therefore we need to make
appropriate choices of what we allow our-
selves to be exposed to. This strategy is
necessary not just to ensure that
we have a healthy supply of
boys for future genera-
tions, but also to
m a k e
sure we
protect
the pre-
cious
ones we
already have.

ment. “However, we must continue to
pay close attention to the achievement
gap that shows students of color and
poverty are trailing behind their peers.
My administration has focused on clos-
ing the achievement gap, and I am
pleased to see that among Latino stu-
dents the gap has narrowed since last
year. I remain concerned that we are not
seeing similar narrowing trends among
African-American students and students
of poverty.”
Gary Waddell, associate superintend-
ent of instructional services for the San
Mateo County Office of Education, was
pleased to note students locally per-
formed better than statewide scores — no
small accomplishment given the current
financial challenges, he said.
“While changes [have occurred] in the
methodology used to gather race and eth-
nicity data which suggests caution in
comparing data across years, trends cer-
tainly suggest that this improvement in
performance appeared across virtually all
subgroups of students. This is good news
and we are pleased to see increased pro-
ficiency across subgroups. Nonetheless,
we continue to see troubling and persist-
ent achievement gaps evident in the data
and know that our work is not done until
all students are achieving at high levels.”

Outside the San Mateo Medical Center
on 37th Avenue in San Mateo, the crowd
wore purple rain ponchos to illustrate
that there is no more waiting for a rainy
day — that day is here now.
“Guess what? It’s raining right now.
We’re on hard times,” said organizer
Rebecca Armendariz as a line of workers
cheered.
The county has approximately 2,400
in-home health care workers who care
for the elderly and disabled, commonly
their own relatives, at home rather than
diverting them to other methods of care.
According to the workers and their
union, the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors has shown a history of bad
decisions and is close to adding another
chapter. Citing recently released studies
of the county’s managers and contracts,
union representatives questioned why the
county employs so many supervisors and
managers and why up to $80 million has
been spent on consultants in the last fis-
cal year.
In contrast, they say, the county wants
its lowest paid workers, like those who
care for the needy in their homes, to bear
the brunt of the budget gap.

Song has until early September to
accept the city’s offer or the property
might be taken through eminent domain.
The City Council will consider a resolu-
tion of necessity to consider taking the
property at its Sept. 7 meeting,
The property owner is not negotiating
for the sale of the single-family home,
said Ralph Petty, project manager with the
Community Development Department.
The home is currently occupied by the
Quezadas family, who were told by the
property owner the home would not be
sold.
The Quezadas have received several let-
ters from the city and have forwarded
them to the property owner, said Manny
Quezadas, who lives with his large
extended family at 317 Humboldt St.
The city’s offer for the home is accept-
able, said William Song, who also owns
by Hispanic and black students com-
pared to white and Asian students grew
slightly over the last eight years. But a
large gap remains.
Take fourth-grade English for exam-
ple. Countywide, 71 percent of students
are proficient or better. A majority of
white, 87 percent, and Asian, 85 percent,
of fourth-grade students are proficient or
advanced in English. Hispanic students
fared much lower at 50 percent, followed
by black students with 45 percent — a
drop from 53 percent last year. Scores
denoting an understanding of English
was the highest in fourth grade county-
wide, as well as in three of the four eth-
nic groups. Black students in fifth grade
fared better than their fourth grade coun-
terparts with 48 percent at proficient or
advanced.
Math numbers show a similar picture.
Seventy-three percent of fourth-grade
students countywide scored proficient or
better on the math test. Broken down by
ethnicity, Asian students performed best
with 90 percent in that category, followed
by white students at 86 percent, Hispanic
students at 56 percent and black students
at 42 percent.
O’Connell pointed to the recently-
adopted Common Core Standards as one
way to close the gaps.
Earlier this month, California became
the 34th state to adopt national academic
standards, which make small changes to
the English curriculum and introduces
algebra to students earlier. O’Connell has
since directed staff to create an imple-
At least one supervisor disagrees with
the sentiment.
“Nothing, for me, could be further
from the truth. Of course we care about
them and would like to be able to resolve
this,” Groom said.
Groom said she would have appeared
at the rally — had she been informed of
it. A salary of $11.50 an hour is not
enough for the work they do, she said,
but “in these hard times, it is what it is.”
Keeping the in-home health care work-
ers at the same level of pay in a new con-
tract will cost $1 million, according to
Armendariz — a small piece of the coun-
ty’s $200 million “rainy day” fund.
The program receives federal and state
funding and the county contributes $2.15
of the $11.50 per hour wage. If the coun-
ty has to pick up the state portion because
of its own budget difficulties, the differ-
ence will be $3 million to $5 million.
“That means cuts from something
else,” Groom said.
The workers yesterday didn’t doubt the
county has a triple-digit structural deficit
or its own budget challenges, but said
managers and consultants should be cut
before hitting the workers’ already-mea-
ger wages.
“Supervisors are public servants! They
should save public services!” read one
sign. Another read, “$200 million rainy
day fund in the bank or $3 million to
keep low-income elderly and disabled in
their homes.”
The cost of one consultant for one hour
would pay for 20 homecare workers car-
all the rest of the property on the block on
which the fire station sits. However, Song
intends to one day combine all the parcels,
demolish the current buildings and find a
developer to construct a high-density,
multi-family apartment complex like the
Metropolitan Apartments, which sits
down the street from the fire station.
“There is potential development value
for the property,” Song said.
The city first approached him about the
property eight years ago, he said.
“The city wants me to prove the devel-
opment value. I’ve already spent $60,000
just to entertain the city’s offer,” he said.
Song is seeking fair compensation but
proving the development value could cost
tens of thousands of dollars more, he said.
“What they are offering is nothing,”
Song said. “We are prepared to fight in
court.”
Fire Station 24 is set to be demolished
and replaced with a modern facility with
drive-through bays that allow engines
more maneuverability, Petty said.

mentation plan, which could take years.
Meeting the algebra standard will be a
challenge, particularly for certain ethnic
groups in San Mateo County.
In California, 46 percent of eighth
graders scored proficient or better in
algebra this year. That number rises to 55
percent in San Mateo County. Broken
down by ethnic group, there is a different
story. More than 75 percent of Asian and
white eighth graders score at proficient
or better. Black and Latino students, on
the other hand, scored 35 percent and 34
percent respectively.
The goal of having eighth-grade stu-
dents in algebra is not new locally. In
2009, 58.1 percent of eighth-grade stu-
dents in San Mateo County took algebra,
according to the California Department
of Education. Of those students, 54 per-
cent showed a proficient or advanced
understanding of the topic. While far
from perfect, the results are a large
increase from 2002 when only 27 percent
of local eighth graders were enrolled in
algebra.
Standardized tests are used to deter-
mine a student’s understanding for each
grade level or course in accordance with
the California Academic Content
Standards. Test scores are used to deter-
mine if the student’s performance is
advanced, proficient, basic, below basic
or far below basic. California’s target is
for all students to score at the proficient
or advanced levels.

ers.
The county will end up spending more
in the long run, too, by sending the phys-
ically and mentally disabled to expensive
institutions rather than pay less to keep
them cared for at home, said Khanh
Weinberg, director of communications
for SEIU 521.
Zahra Aflak and her husband sold their
restaurant in San Bruno so she could stay
home with their son, now 28. He had
been abused at a facility and he can be
difficult because he yells, Aflak said.
If the county slashes her wage, Aflak
said she doesn’t know what will happen.
Decimating in-home care isn’t right
and will harm those who can ill afford it,
said Louise Alioto-Perez, an emergency
room hospital unit coordinator who came
outside the medical center to show soli-
darity with the crowd.
The supervisors pride themselves on
providing for those in their county but
are happier to pay consultants than pay
for quality care, she said.
The hit to the program, she said, hurts
the workers, the clients and even those
like herself who are eventually involved
with them. Even those who feel no direct
connection now to the situation should
care and demand the county step up, she
said.
“Someday you may have a loved one
who needs care and you will want some-
one like this who has taken the proper
steps to be a caregiver and who cares,”
she said.

“They are attached to the home. They
raised all their children there,” said Song,
who purchased the properties on
Humboldt Street nearly 15 years ago.
Funding for fire station upgrades comes
from a voter-approved bond issuance back
in 1997.
The city is also currently ready to tear
down Fire Station 23 on 27th Avenue. A
new temporary station will be located at
2820 El Camino Real while the old station
gets torn down and a new one constructed,
Petty said.

Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2010
Don’t let anything intimidate you any longer in the year ahead
when it comes to getting that job or position you want and
feel you can handle well. Good things occur to those who
make things happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - This is an excellent day to give some
thought to organizing that special outing or get-together you
want to put on the calendar. If your plans are well thought
out, everything will turn out wonderful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - If money is owed you for work
you’ve done, don’t be reluctant or embarrassed to request
that which you’ve justly earned. It should evoke a good
response.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Certain information you possess
should provide you with much more leverage than usual
when dealing with clubs, organizations or corporations. Use
it judiciously.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - A work-related associate
might impose upon you for a favor. If it isn’t asking too much,
do what you can to be helpful, because it could help with a
request you might make on him/her later.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - It’s to your benefit to
hang out with those who have knowledge that you don’t pos-
sess, but would like to. What you learn from them is likely to
turn out to be invaluable.
you, career-wise. You may have to do some detective work in
order to put all the bits and pieces together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - When negotiating a matter
of importance, take the long-range view of the matter. Don’t
just think about what it’ll mean for you today, but what it
could mean to you down the line.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Little annoyances that have
been causing friction for you with a co-worker can be
resolved if you take the time to nicely discuss it with the per-
son. The catharsis could prove to be very interesting.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Success is likely to be depen-
dent upon how you see yourself in comparison to others. The
best possible way would be to see everyone as equal. No one
is better than you, nor is anyone worse.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - A lot of little responsibilities
you’ve been putting off won’t be any trouble. Once you get
into the swing of things, you’ll feel better and better with each
job you complete.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Your mind is far more resource-
ful than you may realize, so don’t discount any ideas or con-
cepts it might generate. However, others might appreciate the
merits of your thinking more than you do.
Previous
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - When it comes to your mate-
rial affairs, you should do rather well, so don’t hesitate to Sudoku
bargain a bit when the situation calls for it. Go ahead and call

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be on guard for new

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
BESS F. BROWNELL
Case Number 120286
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Bess F. Brownell. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by: Rob-
ert D. Brownell in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Robert
D. Brownell be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
