Voters should have the opportuni-
ty this fall to decide if the currently
elected position of controller should
instead be appointed for up to 12
years, according to two county
supervisors who will propose the
ballot measure on Tuesday.
Conve r t i ng
the ofce to an
appointed posi-
tion requires a
t w o - t h i r d s
majority vote in
favor of amend-
ing the countys

Carole Groom
and Don
Horsley will ask
the full board at
Tuesdays meet-
ing to direct
County Counsel
John Beiers to
draft an ordi-
nance with such
a proposal.
The recommended proposal
would allow the county manager to
select a candidate for consideration
with nal approval by the Board of
Supervisors. The controller would
be an at-will employee who could
be removed without cause or a pub-
lic hearing as long as it comes with
a county managers recommenda-
tion and a four-fths vote of the
board.
If the board approves an ordi-
nance, the proposal will be on the
Nov. 6 ballot.

Local schools found out where
they ranked and just how much road
must be covered by next year when
the California Department of
Education released the 2011 Base
Academic Performance Index
growth targets and school rankings
yesterday.
Ranking schools statewide and
nationwide shows how local educa-
tion offerings fare in the larger pic-
ture. Last year, San Mateo County
had 11 schools receive a 10 rating in
both state and similar school rank-
ings. This year, the number dropped
to 5.
In the Hillsborough Elementary
School District, North and South
elementary schools earned the rank-
ing. Las Lomitas Elementary in
Atherton, North Star Academy in
Redwood City and Woodside
Elementary also earned the 10/10
score. Not a single high school was
given the double 10 rating. Mills
High School did receive a statewide
ranking of 10, but a 5 ranking com-
pared to similar schools.
Alternatively, Carlmont and Everest
Public high schools received a 10
compared to similar schools and a 9
statewide. In total, 32 schools in San
Mateo County received at least one
10 ranking.
Each school in California was
given two different academic rank-
ings on a scale from one to 10 with
10 being the highest. The rst score

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A schizophrenic man who bounced back
and forth between state mental facilities and
prosecution will stand trial for allegedly
stabbing a fellow client at a San Carlos
vocational center more than seven years ago,
according to a San Mateo County Superior
Court judge.
Vitin Ajani Cruz, 37, has pleaded not
guilty to murder and knife charges but Judge
Mark Forcum found sufficient evidence to
hold him to answer on all counts. Cruz
returns to court June 26 to enter a Superior
Court plea and set a trial date.
Cruz is accused of the Oct. 27, 2004 fatal
stabbing of Alfonso Ruiz. If convicted, Cruz
faces up to 26 years in prison.
After years in a state mental facility, Cruz
returned to San Mateo County for prosecu-
tion last November after doctors found him
capable of aiding in his own defense. His
court-appointed attorney agreed to accept
the finding but cautioned
his clients mental condi-
tion remained fragile and
subject to change.
According to prosecu-
tors, Cruz attacked Ruiz
at Vocational
Rehabilitation Services
on Quarry Road in San
Carlos. Authorities said
Cruz mistook Ruiz for
another man as they sat next to each other at
the center and suddenly lunged at him with a
knife. Ruiz was stabbed several times in the
upper torso and arm. Cruz fled but was
arrested a few blocks away from the site.
Ruiz died the following afternoon.
However, defense attorney Vince
OMalley has said his client, who has psy-
chosis and schizophrenia, also has a deep
fear of being stabbed because he was left
with severe stomach wounds several years
before the murder during a bus attack in San
Francisco. Cruz thought Ruiz was somehow
associated with his previous attackers and
possibly armed with a box cutter, according
to OMalley.
Schizophrenia medication and other signs
of psychiatric problems were found at
Cruzs home during a police search after the
stabbing.
Before he could be tried, Cruz was
deemed incompetent by two of three court-
appointed doctors and committed in March
2005.
Three years later, he returned to San
Mateo County but was rehospitalized that
July. After three years, he was placed under
a Murphy conservatorship which gives the
San Mateo County Public Guardian the
authority to make decisions on his behalf.
He has since been at the locked psychiatric
facility Crestwood Behavioral Health Center
near Calistoga.
He remains in custody without bail.

A proposal to build a series of large ofce
buildings, possibly the home to biotech companies,
at the now-vacant former Burlingame Drive-in, is
set for a public hearing Monday.
Millennium Partners, New York-based devel-
opers of mixed-used properties, applied in April
2010 to develop the 18.13-acre site a project
now known as Burlingame Point, located at 300 Airport Blvd. (also
known as 350 Beach Road). Plans call for 689,810 square feet of ofce
space in two ve-story buildings, one seven-story building and one eight-
story building. In December 2010, the City Council approved an agree-
ment to conduct an environmental review of the project, which became
available for review late last year. In May, the Planning Commission
gave unanimous support for the proposal.
Earlier this month, the Burlingame City Council introduced three ordi-
nances to amend zoning and establish a development agreement. The
move was needed so the council can hold a public hearing about the devel-
opment.
As proposed, the project will provide space for either ofce or biotech
use. When last changed, the zoning for the Bayfront was altered to be
open for biotech. There would also be a two-story, 33,400-square-foot
amenities building that would include a child-care facility, exercise facil-
ity and a cafe/break room. Parking would be offered in a ve-story park-
ing structure and a podium-level parking area below the four ofce build-
ings and in smaller lots scattered around the site.
The council will meet 7 p.m. Monday, June 18 at City Hall, 501
Primrose Road.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The man whose friend testied he
snapped before killing his
Burlingame roommate and aban-
doning the body after weeks of
harassment pleaded not guilty yes-
terday to murder charges.
After entering his Superior Court
plea, Lawrence Arthur Hoffman, 64,
was scheduled back to court Aug. 15
to set a trial date.
At a preliminary hearing last month,
Hoffmans friend testied that he
killed Joseph Cosentino after ongoing
belittling, including comments about
his wife and daughter, before covering
the body with a
blanket and tak-
ing off for days
rst to Reno and
then Southern
California. The
friend, Greg
Bailey, said
Hoffman told him
he snapped and
whacked the
guy.
Cosentino, 70, died Dec. 5, 2011
from multiple blows to the head
with likely either a club or mallet.
Authorities found him face down
and covered with blankets inside the
apartment after being directed there
by Hoffman. Hoffman had ed to
Southern California after speaking
with Bailey, who then alerted
Burlingame police that his friend
may have killed his roommate.
Authorities traced Hoffman to a
Glendale hotel room and he guided
them back to his apartment and
Cosentinos body.
Hoffman had moved in with
Cosentino in August 2011 after
meeting at the CVS/pharmacy and
the neighboring American Bull Bar
and Grill in Burlingame.
Hoffman remains in custody with-
out bail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Democrats in
the state Legislature held committee
hearings on the California budget a
day before the constitutional dead-
line to approve it, despite ongoing
disagreements with Gov. Jerry
Brown over their plan to make
smaller welfare cuts to help balance
a $15.7 billion decit.
Republican lawmakers, whose
votes are not needed to approve the
budget, boycotted a Senate Budget
Committee hearing, complaining
that negotiations were being held in
secret and they had not been given
any time to review the budget bills,
most of which were published
online Thursday morning.
We have made repeated requests
for an honest and open budgetary
process and for the budget measures
to be in print for 48 hours, to allow
public review, Sen. Bill Emmerson,
R-Redlands, said in a statement.
We cant in good conscience vote
for bills we have not seen.
Democrats passed the main budg-
et bills out of committee without
GOP votes Thursday.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the
Legislature on Friday planned to
take up bills with which the gover-
nor agrees, but put off voting on the
more controversial parts. Passing the
main budget bill by Fridays mid-
night deadline will meet the consti-
tutional requirement and ensure that
lawmakers do not go without pay,
Steinberg said.
The Senate leader emphasized
that Democrats are largely in agree-
ment with the governor on most
aspects of the plan. But lawmakers
are at odds with the Democratic
governor over about $1.2 billion in
cuts to CalWORKS, the states wel-
fare-to-work program, child care, in-
home support and college aid.
More than three dozen people
have been arrested at the state
Capitol this week in protests over
cuts to home health care and other
programs for the needy.
Brown is proposing to cut $880
million from CalWORKS by creat-
ing three different levels of support
and imposing tougher eligibility
requirements. His proposal would
reward parents for working and give
less aid to families where only the
children qualify or if the parents are
no longer eligible.
Democratic lawmakers and advo-
cates fear that would drive families
into homelessness. They say a fami-
ly of three in which only the child is
eligible for benets would be cut
from a $516 a month benet to $375
a month, an amount equal to 24 per-
cent of the federal poverty level.
Democrats only wanted to cut
$428 million by extending existing
cuts to counties to provide work
training and child care.
We are continuing to talk to see if
we might find middle ground,
Steinberg said, but we maintain our
same strong position that the people
in the middle, the people who are
poor, the people who had been mid-
dle-class but now nd themselves on
the edge because theyve lost a job,
these are the people we are talking
about when we talk about
CalWORKS.
He added that they are not just a
number on a page, but its real
lives.
Steinberg said Brown has not
commented on the Democrats latest
version of the budget.
Both versions of the budget close
the decit by relying on about $8.5
billion in revenue California would
only see if voters approve Browns
proposed temporary income and
sales tax increases in November.
The governor has submitted signa-
tures for the initiative, which would
ask Californians to add a quarter-
cent to the 7.5 percent statewide
sales tax for four years and increase
income taxes on those who make
more than $250,000 for seven years.
Dems move on budget without Browns OK
We maintain our same strong position that the people in the middle,
the people who are poor,the people who had been middle-class but
now nd themselves on the edge because theyve lost a job,these are
the people we are talking about when we talk about CalWORKS.

ence what she termed residual
delays into the evening.
During the morning commute
and into the day thousands of peo-
ple were forced to scramble to find
other ways to get across the bay.
Thursday evening buses were
being used to help people get
across the bay and additional fer-
ries were also put into service
between San Francisco and
Oakland, Alameda and Vallejo.
Traffic on the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge was heavier
than usual with many drivers wait-
ing for more than two hours to
cross the bridge, the California
Highway Patrol said.
About 400,000 people take
BART trains on a weekday, the
transit agency said, but more com-
muters than usual were expected
due to the opening round of the
U.S. Open golf tournament and a
San Francisco Giants afternoon
baseball game.
Baseball fan Millisa Hensley told
KGO-TV that she missed the first
three innings of the game because
of the delay in getting across the
bay, and she was expecting delays
in getting home after the game.
Were just going to wait, wait it
out. And wait in line like every-
body else, she told the station.
BART work crews were set to
perform additional testing of elec-
trical equipment and diagnostic
systems overnight when the trains
stop running for the night, but no
delays were expected Friday morn-
ing.
Were expecting to have our
normal service tomorrow morn-
ing, BART spokesman Jim Allison
said Thursday evening.
Brian Long of Oakland, one of
the commuters delayed earlier
Thursday, waited in a ferry line,
hoping to make it to work in San
Francisco before noon.

District denies two claims for
alleged Redwood City teacher abuse
Legal claims by parents of two children who were allegedly
kicked and deprived of food by a Redwood City special educa-
tion teacher were denied by the Redwood
City Elementary School District Board of
Trustees Wednesday.
On May 30, two claims against the district
were made by parents naming the teacher,
44-year-old Alexia Bogdis, and several
school district ofcials and aides. Such
claims generally precede lawsuits. The par-
ents claim Bogdis, a teacher at Roosevelt
Elementary School, pulled the autistic sons
hair, kicked him in the stomach and prevent-
ed him from eating and drinking water.
Both claims accuse the district of negligence for hiring Bogdis
and say teachers aides who saw the abuse failed to immediately
report it. The board denied the claims Wednesday.
Bogdis, who worked in the district for ve years, has pleaded not
guilty to criminal charges in the alleged abuse of the two children.
Bogdis is free on a $15,000 bail bond but remains on adminis-
trative leave from Roosevelt Elementary School where she
worked and has a court order barring her from campus, its
employees and all students. She is due back in court for a pretri-
al conference June 28.
County secures $2.6M labor grant
San Mateo County received a $2.6 million federal grant from
the U.S. Department of Labor to help cultivate innovative
approaches to training and best practices in
the workplace.
The money, which comes from the
Workforce Innovation Fund, will be used in
San Mateo County to develop a diverse
workforce of job seekers and employers that
reects the local communitys unique spirit
of entrepreneurship, according to the ofce
of U.S. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, D- Palo Alto.
Eshoo lauded the award, saying the devel-
opment of training programs and practices
will strengthen job skills and help put people back to work.
Im thrilled for San Mateo County and its workforce for this
great opportunity, Eshoo said in a prepared statement.
The labor department awarded 26 grants totally nearly $150
million for state workforce agencies and workforce investment
boards.

WASHINGTON Last summer,
gays in the military dared not admit their
sexual orientation. This summer, the
Pentagon will salute them, marking June
as gay pride month just as it has marked
other celebrations honoring racial or eth-
nic groups.
In the latest remarkable sign of change
since the military repealed the dont
ask, dont tell policy, the Defense
Department will soon hold its rst event
to recognize gay and lesbian troops. It
comes nine months after repeal of the
policy that had banned gay troops from
serving openly and forced more than
13,500 service members out of the
armed forces.
Details are still being worked out, but
ofcials say Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta wants to honor the contributions
of gay service members.
Now that weve repealed dont ask,
dont tell, he feels its important to nd
a way this month to recognize the serv-
ice and professionalism of gay and les-
bian troops, said Navy Capt. John
Kirby, a spokesman.
This months event will follow a long
tradition in the Pentagon of recognizing
diversity in Americas armed forces.
Hallway displays and activities, for
example, have marked Black History
Month and Asian-Pacific American
Heritage Month.
Although some feared repeal of the
ban on serving openly would cause
problems in the ranks, ofcials and gay
advocacy groups say no big issues have
materialized aside from what advoca-
cy groups criticize as slow implementa-
tion of some changes, such as benet
entitlements to troops in same-sex mar-
riages.
Basic changes have come rapidly
since repeal the biggest that gay and
lesbian soldiers, sailors, airmen and
Marines no longer have to hide their sex-
uality in order to serve. They can put
photos on their ofce desk without fear
of being outed, attend social events with
their partners and openly join advocacy
groups looking out for their interests.
OurServe, a once-clandestine profes-
sional association for gay service mem-
bers, has nearly doubled in size to more
than 5,500 members. It held its rst
national convention of gay service mem-
bers in Las Vegas last fall, then a confer-
ence on family issues this year in
Washington.
At West Point, the alumni gay advo-
cacy group Knights Out was able to
hold the rst installment in March of
what is intended to be an annual dinner
in recognition of gay and lesbian gradu-
ates and Army cadets. Gay students at
the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis
were able to take same-sex dates to the
academys Ring Dance for third-year
midshipmen.

WASHINGTON Attorney General
Eric Holder is proposing to meet with
Rep. Darrell Issa by Monday to settle a
dispute over Justice Department docu-
ments the congressman is demanding
on a flawed gun-smuggling probe.
Holder said Thursday the department
is prepared to turn over documents
detailing how Justice Department offi-
cials came to the realization that feder-
al agents in Arizona
had used a contro-
versial investigative
tactic that resulted
in hundreds of illic-
itly purchased guns
winding up in
Mexico, many of
them at crime
scenes. Two of the
weapons were
recovered at the scene of the slaying of
a U.S. border agent, Brian Terry.
In a letter to Issa, the attorney gener-
al said the information he is prepared
to provide will fully address concerns
of the congressman and House
Republican leaders. Issa, R-Calif., has
scheduled a committee vote for next
Wednesday on a contempt citation
against Holder for failing to turn over
relevant documents on the operation
and its aftermath.
Along with the documents, the attor-
ney general said the department is pre-
pared to provide a briefing explaining
how the departments understanding of
the facts of Fast and Furious evolved.

Middle-income family will
spend $235K to raise baby
By Sam Hananel
WASHINGTON For $235,000, you could indulge in a
shiny new Ferrari or raise a child for 17 years.
A government report released Thursday found that a middle-
income family with a child born last year will spend about that
much in child-related expenses from birth through age 17.
Thats a 3.5 percent increase from 2010.
The report from the Agriculture Departments Center for
Nutrition Policy and Promotion said housing is the single
largest expense, averaging about $70,500, or 30 percent of the
total cost.
Families living in the urban Northeast tend to have the high-
est child-rearing expenses, followed by those in the urban West
and the urban Midwest. Those living in the urban South and
rural areas face the lowest costs.
The estimate also includes the cost of transportation, child
care, education, food, clothing, health care and miscellaneous
expenses. The USDA has issued the report every year since
1960, when it estimated the cost of raising a child was just over
$25,000 for middle-income families. That would be $191,720
today when adjusted for ination.
Stanford gets 110 years for role in $7B swindle
HOUSTON Former jet-setting Texas tycoon R. Allen
Stanford had plenty of things to say Thursday before a federal
judge sentenced him to 110 years in prison for bilking
investors out of more than $7 billion over two decades.
An apology was not one of them.
In a deant, rambling statement that lasted more than 40
minutes, Stanford told the court about the injuries he suffered
during a prison ght; criticized the government for its gestapo
tactics when his companies were put in receivership and their
assets sold off to pay back investors; described his nancial
empire as a victim of the 2008 credit collapse; and recalled rid-
ing horses with former President George W. Bush.

CLEVELAND President Barack
Obama cast his re-election race against
Republican Mitt Romney as the eco-
nomic choice of a lifetime on Thursday,
seeking to stir undecided voters and ask-
ing the nation to buy into his vision for
four more years or face a return to the
recession-era mistakes of the past.
Said Romney: Talk is cheap.
From opposite ends of Ohio, a state
vital to both of their political futures,
Romney and Obama dueled in economic
speeches that set the tone for a erce,
nal ve months of debate. At the core,
the pitches were the political foes famil-
iar, fundamentally different takes on
how get to an economically aching
nation soaring again.
Thats really what this election is
about, Obama said in his most detailed
case for a second term. Thats what is at
stake right now. Everything else is just
noise.
Romney went rst
from Cincinnati, a
Republican strong-
hold in the state, and
he described
Obamas administra-
tion as the very
enemy of people
who create jobs.
Look whats hap-
pened across this
country, Romney said. If you think
things are going swimmingly, if you
think the presidents right when he said
the private sector is doing ne, then hes
the guy to vote for. But he questioned
why anyone would do that, saying if the
job isnt getting done, pick someone
who can do a better job.
The backdrop was Ohio, seen by polit-
ical strategists as a state that could swing
the election.
It went to Obama last time, and
George W. Bush before that, and it
remains crucial for both competitors this
year particularly Romney. No
Republican has ever
won the presidency
without winning
Ohio.
Romney gave what
amounted to his stan-
dard speech, albeit
realigned as a prebut-
tal as Obama was
pulling into his event
site at the top of the
state. Given the tight presidential race
and the enormous interest in the econo-
my, the two speeches offered anticipa-
tion of a big campaign moment, but the
substance yielded little new.
This was Obama in professor mode,
lling his speech with budget numbers
and history and talk of independent ana-
lysts. It was an economics case, yet
hardly one of roaring rhetorical lift. The
goal for Obama was not to uncork new
proposals but to dene a contrast. He is
still pushing tax credits and other jobs
ideas that have awaited action in
Congress for months.

VIENNA OPEC oil ministers
agreed Thursday to keep their pro-
duction target steady, in a compro-
mise meant to defuse rivalries
between Iran and Saudi Arabia and
to send a soothing message to eco-
nomically troubled consuming
nations.
Oil prices have fallen more than
20 percent over the past two months,
and a statement from the
Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries citied down-
side risks facing the global econo-
my and ample stocks of crude as
being responsible for the trend.
While agreeing to hold the output
target steady, however, the statement
suggested that OPEC ministers were
ready to come together on short
notice if prices fell to levels dictat-
ing a production cutback. The minis-
ters, it said, conrmed their readi-
ness to swiftly respond to develop-
ments that might place oil market
stability in jeopardy.
OPEC accounts for about a third
of world crude production and its
decision Thursday corresponded
with its professed goal of taking
volatility out of global oil markets.
With the economies of Europe and
the United States feeble and even
China seeing a slowdown, keeping
production targets steady at a time of
falling prices was meant to reassure
consuming nations that they do not
need to fear the added burden of
more pricey energy.
But analysts said OPEC sphere of
inuence was limited.
The truth is the decision today is
not nearly as important as three other
events that will occur over the next
few weeks, said Jason Schenker of
Prestige Economics. He listed
Sundays election in Greece, which
could decide whether the country
stays in the eurozone; a meeting of
the U.S. Federal Reserve in Tuesday;
and the July 1st implementation of
an EU embargo on Iranian oil as
much more signicant in determin-
ing where crude is headed.
OPEC to keep oil production steady
By Coleen Barry
MILAN A growing number of
European countries are being
squeezed by a nancial vise just
days before a Greek election that
could escalate the regions political
and economic turmoil.
The rise of Italian and Spanish
borrowing costs to alarming levels
Thursday heaped pressure on leaders
to prevent Europes debt crisis from
engulng its largest countries. No
grand solution appears imminent.
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel opposes solutions that many
experts are pushing that would
increase costs for Berlin.
Merkel has found herself isolated
from the leaders of Spain, Italy and
France, who want the 17 countries
in the euro currency union to move
quickly to bind their governments
nances and debt.
Such action could take the form
of jointly issued debt or European-
wide guarantees on bank deposits.
Either step would spread the risks
that individual countries bear across
the eurozone.
Italian Premier Mario Monti has
agreed with French President
Francois Hollande on the need for
such measures. But Germany,
which as Europes largest economy
bears most of the cost of bailouts, is
reluctant to expose itself even more.
The proposed steps are expected
to dominate talks at next weeks
summit of Group of 20 leaders in
Mexico.
Europe crisis spreads as Merkel resists big steps
Smell of death greets U.N.
monitors in Syrian town
BEIRUT Smoldering build-
ings, looted shops, smashed cars and
a strong stench of death greeted
U.N. observers who entered the
nearly deserted Syrian town of Haffa
on Thursday, a day after President
Bashar Assads forces overran it as
part of a major offensive to recover
rebel-controlled territories.
The monitors had been trying to
get into the town for a week after
fears were raised that a brutal assault
by regime forces was under way.
They found the main hospital
burned, state buildings and an ofce
of the ruling Baath party in ruins and
a corpse lying in the street.
A strong stench of dead bodies
was in the air, said Sausan
Ghosheh, spokeswoman for the
U.N. observers. She said there was
still ghting in some pockets of the
mountainous town in the seaside
province of Latakia.
The number of casualties was
unclear, Ghosheh said, and it
appeared likely that, as in the past,
bodies had been removed or buried
before the U.N. mission got in.
Egypt court dissolves
Islamist-led parliament
CAIRO Judges appointed by
Hosni Mubarak dissolved the
Islamist-dominated parliament
Thursday and ruled his former prime
minister eligible for the presidential
runoff election this weekend set-
ting the stage for the military and
remnants of the old regime to stay in
power.
The politically charged rulings
dealt a heavy blow to the fundamen-
talist Islamic Brotherhood, with one
senior member calling the decisions
a full-edged coup, and the group
vowed to rally the public against
Ahmed Shaq, the last prime minis-
ter to serve under Mubarak.
The decision by the Supreme
Constitutional Court effectively
erased the tenuous progress from
Egypts troubled transition in the
past year, leaving the country with
no parliament and concentrating
power even more rmly in the hands
of the generals who took over from
Mubarak.

OPINION 9
Election results
Editor,
The following statement in Sue
Lemperts column, Can Masur prevail
over Slocum in the fall? in the June 12
edition of the Daily Journal is adding
insult to injury to Latinos in San Mateo
County:
It was a poor showing for Latino
candidates who had hoped they could
win the seat held by the only minority
member on the current board, termed
out Rose Jacobs-Gibson who is
African-American. Even a surprise dual
endorsement late in the campaign by
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
for county Board of Education Trustee
Memo Morantes and East Palo Alto
Councilman Carlos Romero did not
give either enough of a boost. Romero
received 9 percent and Morantes 8 per-
cent, coming in fourth and fth respec-
tively. In third place, was Menlo Park
Mayor Kristen Keith with 15 percent of
the vote.
You know very well that the election
results for the Fourth District would
have been different if the supervisors
were elected by district-wide voting
instead of county-wide voting.
San Mateo County is in viola-
tion of the California Voting
Rights Act of 2001.
San Mateo County is the only county
in California (out of 58) to rely upon an
at-large election for electing candidates
to the Board of Supervisors. As a
result, The Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights of the Bay Area brought
about a lawsuit against the county and
trial is scheduled for August. The trial
had been originally scheduled in early
2011, but the board had it postponed
perhaps in view of the last primary.
The board is ghting the lawsuit,
because the election results are precise-
ly what they want to achieve, an all-
white Board of Supervisors. They want
to preserve the status quo.

Response to CEOs as
government leaders
Editor,
Norm Federname, in his letter to the
editor GEOs as government leaders
published in the June 9-10 weekend
edition of the Daily Journal, general-
ized that CEOs do not make good gov-
ernment leaders and cites Lee Iacocca
and his book as proof of his point of
view.
Iacocca obviously felt he was not the
right guy to run anything but a car busi-
ness, and that is his prerogative.
Frankly, the Chrysler boys did not do
too good of a job, unless either either
going bankrupt once is a major
achievement and building the Pinto (at
Ford) can be considered a great effort
under Lees leadership.
A CEO, just like a governor or presi-
dent for that matter, relies on a cadre of
hand-picked individuals to provide sup-
port and expertise in running the busi-
ness (State or otherwise). Assembling
such a team is the number one task and
will determine how successful the man-
agement will be. There is no difference
between politics and business. Meg
Whitman has shown she can manage
such high power teams and get the job
done. She is a leader. Gov. Jerry Brown
is a politician who muddles his way
through by making concessions and
more concessions to buy the support of
his party and the unions. We, the tax-
payers, are then asked to clean up after-
wards.

L
ike Californias public colleges
and universities, state parks
have seen a steady decline in
the commitment to state funding over
the last 20 years.
As with our public colleges and uni-
versities, fees have become an increas-
ing part of how we pay for parks
from 6 percent of the overall state parks
budget in 1980 to more than 50 percent
by 2006.
And, as with public colleges and uni-
versities, state parks also have turned
more to private philanthropy. About a
dozen companies - including Coca-
Cola, Stater Bros. Markets, Bosch,
Travelocity, Geico, Nestle, Subaru
have provided funding for projects over
the past three years. Interpretive signs,
visitor guides and state parks maps
include their corporate logos.
In the state park system, more than
34,000 volunteers supplement 3,850
paid park staff.
A sign of crimped public spirit, how-
ever, is Gov. Jerry Browns proposal to
close 70 of 279 state parks on July 1 to
save $22 million.
Fortunately, many public and private
partners have stepped up to temporarily
take over operations for a year, some
for up to ve years. But thats not a
long-term solution.
The National Park Service will keep
three state parks open. Local govern-
ments are keeping open six more.
Private donations from individuals,
foundations and corporations, grants
from the California State Parks
Foundation and management by non-
prots will keep 13 open with 14
more operating agreements almost
complete.
That leaves 34 parks.
In a last-resort step, State Parks has
put out requests for proposals for pri-
vate for-prot concessionaires to keep
open certain parts of 20 parks that
would otherwise close - such as camp-
grounds, day-use areas or restaurants -
allowing at least limited public access
to state parks. For example, American
Land & Leisure of Utah, which runs
campgrounds in national forests, will
keep open some facilities at Brannan
Island, Turlock Lake and Woodson
Bridge state recreation areas.
Parks Management Co., which runs
national forest campgrounds in the Big
Sur area, has put in a proposal for
Limekiln State Park. But the deadline
has come and gone with no concession-
aire proposals for others.
Parks for the people, by their very
nature, are not meant to be big revenue
generators or prot centers.
For their part, legislators have ideas
to raise funds through special state park
license plates, directing a portion of tax
refunds for an annual state park day-use
access pass, installation of new fee col-
lection technologies to raise $10 mil-
lion or so from parks not collecting fees
and tapping existing water and trans-
portation funds for park water and
sewer systems, trails and roads. Every
little bit helps.
Gov. Brown, however, has been
strangely absent content, it seems, to
let parks close.
Though on state parks maps he
describes state parks as wonderful
places where families and communities
can come together to explore the mag-
nicence of the Golden State, Brown
has yet to dene a vision for what the
California state parks system should
look like and how it should be funded
in the future. Thats what California
needs as July 1 approaches.
California has never closed a state
park and it shouldnt start now. The
hardest of times, during the Great
Depression, spurred a new era of park
planning and development. That legacy
remains with us still if we dont
squander it.
State still needs clear vision for its state
A little bit of
this ... and that
A
new website called Nextdoor seeks to establish a
free private social network for individual neigh-
borhoods. The city of San Mateo sent out a press
release recently announcing the
opportunity for residents to par-
ticipate. The intent is well-mean-
ing ... but it still seems a bit
strange.
Neighbors are people who you
normally have little in common
with aside from your proximity
to each other and the fact that
you see them more often than
others because of your proximi-
ty. One normally builds relation-
ships with neighbors by seeing
them in person and talking to
them. So it seems strange that
you would choose to join a
social network with people you see all the time. What are
the posts like? Nice owers? Yard looks nice? Not too hot
today?
No, I get it ... People are too busy to get to know their
neighbors these days and its a way for people to see if
someone has a ladder to borrow or if anyone knows of a
good baby-sitter. Its a sign of the times ... Instead of meet-
ing neighbors the old-fashioned way, people would rather
communicate by computer ... Still strange.

So Matt Cain provided Giants fans with an impromptu
night of excitement I say paralleled the World Series victo-
ry. I always knew Cain had a no-hitter in him, but a perfect
game? Gregor Blancos spectacular catch in the seventh
inning made me realize it was possible, and the excitement
built from there. Ive always said Cain is my favorite current

The European Cup is confusing. The Netherlands lost,
and the Dutch, from Holland, are upset. The Netherlands is
often referred to as Holland, even though North and South
Holland are only two of its 12 provinces ... And Im not
sure why people from the Netherlands are referred to as
Dutch.
Either way, it looks like the team is on its way out of the
tournament with its second loss this week. So I wont have
to think about this for a while.
The games have been good and Ive decided to root for
the French. Not only is it easy to know that the French are
from France, but one of our reporters is planning a trip to
France this fall so it gives us a reason to speak French in the
ofce and talk about France ... So go Bleu!

Those of you interested in all things culinary and are near
downtown San Mateo should be interested in a new restau-
rant in the works on South Ellsworth Avenue, across from
Trags. Taking over the home of the former Bollywood
Cuisine, 31st Union is set to open at the end of the month.
Its a small plate format showcasing American food pre-
pared with seasonal ingredients, primarily from California
sources. The name is derived from California being the 31st
state to enter the union. Seasonal and local sourcing are
both trends ... positive ones I might add. Seems intriguing.
***
Speaking of local sourcing, its been a while since I had
been to the Cliff House in San Francisco ... so I thought Id
give the renovated locale a try. The menu looked great, with
a strong emphasis on locally sourced product. I had the
swordsh, and my dining partner had the bouillabaisse with
soft-shell crab. As far as I can tell, both arent local ...
Should have gone to Duartes.

NEW YORK A report that major
central banks would be ready to pump
money into the nancial system after the
Greek elections this weekend gave the
stock market a late push higher.
The Reuters report said major central
banks were preparing for coordinated
action if the results of Greek elections on
Sunday strain global nancial markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average
jumped 155.53 points to close at
12,651.91 Thursday. Thats a gain of 1.2
percent. The Dow jumped 100 points
after the report came out then pulled
back.
Investors are on edge ahead of
Greeces election this weekend because
parties opposed to the terms of the coun-
trys nancial bailout could take control
of the government. If that happens and
the country leaves the euro, many fear
the currency union could be torn apart
and European banks could fail.
The stock market began climbing in
early trading after a tame ination read-
ing and another weak jobs report raised
expectations that the Federal Reserve
would offer more support for the U.S.
economy.
Applications for unemployment bene-
ts rose last week, according to the latest
government report. The four-week aver-
age increased for a third straight week,
another sign that the jobs market
remains weak.
The governments main measure of
U.S. consumer prices fell in May by 0.3
percent, the biggest drop since
December 2008. Analysts said the slow-
down in price increases could make it
more likely that the Fed will announce
new steps to boost the economy when it
meets next week. Low ination gives the
Fed more leeway to inject money into
the nancial system, keep interest rates
low and encourage borrowing.
The markets are higher, I think,
because there are enough investors who
believe that this mornings data on prices
and jobless claims increase the case for
more Fed easing as soon as next weeks
meeting, said Clark Yingst, chief mar-
ket analyst at the securities and banking
rm Joseph Gunnar.
Yingst said the market could easily
switch directions in the coming days.
Traders are just following the trend one
way on one day, but are perfectly happy
following it the other way the next.
The Standard & Poors 500 rose 14.22
points to 1,329.10. The Nasdaq compos-
ite gained 17.72 points to 2,836.33.

WASHINGTON Responding to
lawsuits from 11 states, the
Environmental Protection Agency is
proposing new air quality standards to
lower the amount of soot that can be
released into the air.
The Obama administration, facing
strong resistance from congressional
Republicans and industry ofcials, had
sought to delay the politically fraught
rule until after the election, but was
forced to act by a court order. Critics,
including ofcials representing the oil
and gas industry, reneries and manu-
facturers, complained that overly strict
rules could hurt economic growth and
lead to job losses.
Soot, made up of microscopic parti-
cles released from smokestacks, diesel
trucks, wood-burning stoves and other
sources, contributes to haze and can bur-
row into lungs. Breathing in soot can
cause lung and heart problems.
Dr. Albert Rizzo, chairman of the
board of the American Lung
Association, said soot, also known as
ne particle pollution, is a known killer.
The science is clear, and overwhelming
evidence shows that particle pollution at
levels currently labeled as officially
safe causes heart attacks, strokes and
asthma attacks, he said. The long-
delayed rule, to be made public on
Friday, responds to a federal court order
requiring the Obama administration to
update air quality standards under the
Clean Air Act. Administration ofcials
described the rule to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity because
it has yet to be announced.
EPA sets tighter standards for soot pollution
California home sales, prices jump in May
SAN DIEGO Demand for more expensive properties lift-
ed California home prices to a nearly two-year high in May as
sales across all pricing categories showed healthy gains, a
research rm said Thursday.
The median price for new and existing houses and condos
reached $270,000 last month, up 8.4 percent from $249,000 in
the same period last year and matching the highest level since
June 2010, DataQuick said. The median price is still well
below a peak of $484,000 in early 2007 but up from $221,000
in April 2009.
The median price has risen three straight months from year-
ago levels.
The number of homes sold in May rose 17.6 percent from
last year to 41,790, the highest tally for that month since 2006,
the San Diego-based research rm said.
Foreclosed homes, which tend to sell at a discount, made up
a smaller part of overall sales, lifting the median price.
DataQuick said properties that had been foreclosed upon in the
previous year accounted for 28.3 percent of existing-home
sales, down from 35.3 percent a year earlier and 58.5 percent
in February 2009.
Facebook stock closes nearly 4 percent higher
NEW YORK Facebooks stock is regaining some ground
nearly a month after its rocky initial public offering.
The stock gained $1.02, or 3.7 percent, to close Thursday at
$28.29. Thats still down nearly 26 percent from Facebooks
IPO price of $38. Facebook began trading on the Nasdaq on
May 18.
Investors are concerned about its ability to keep increasing
revenue and make money from its growing mobile audience,
though many analysts hold positive long-term opinions.
Also on Thursday, a federal judge in Texas rejected a legal
challenge to Facebook and leading investment banks over the
IPO. A disgruntled shareholder had wanted the court to order
depositions from Facebooks executives to nd out if he had a
case against the company. Facebook says it is pleased with the
courts decision.

CAIN STILL FLOATING: THROWING THE FIRST PERFECT GAME IN GIANTS HISTORY STILL HASNT SUNK IN FOR PITCHER >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Most standout junior golfers pick up the clubs early in their youth, spend years
honing their game and then burst onto the high school scene.
Menlo Schools Andrew Buchanan was not a golf prodigy. In fact, baseball and
basketball were his rst loves. Golf was just a hobby.
It was practicing the various sports, however, that led Buchanan to put the
balls away and stick with the sticks.
I really enjoyed baseball. I was a lot better at base-
ball. I was a pretty good pitcher back then. I
thought I could be good at it if I worked hard at
it, but there was no guarantees, Buchanan said.

If there is someone out there wondering what losing tastes like,
we advise you to never ask Menlos Justin Chan.
Chan is the only starting tennis player who Menlo head coach Bill
Shine knows of to have won four league titles, four Central Coast
Section team titles and four Northern California championships.
I think we work harder than any other team, Chan said. For us
to win, we have to play well, not just improve on what weve been
working on, but win the match as the whole team.
And its in that statement that Chan embodies the reason behind
the title of 2012 Daily Journal Boys Tennis Player of the Year
while other players were ashier, stronger or faster, the truth is, all
Chan did during his time as a Knight was win. And in winning this

The catchers box behind the plate on a base-
ball diamond may seem like just chalk lines to
some people. But for Tony Loefer, the former
Mills Viking and Skyline Trojan, its home.
Milbrae, San Bruno, New Mexico or
Missouri, it doesnt matter for as long as he
can remember, that little piece of real estate
has been his calling. While Loefer admits his
journey to his degree in communications has
been an interesting one, as it culminates, it
does so in golden fashion.
A senior at Missouri
Western State University,
Loeffler was recently
named the NCAA
Division II Defensive
Player of the Year for his
work behind the dish.
Loefer was also an All-
South Central Region
Gold Glove winner. His
work as a catcher comes a
year after making Honorable Mention as a jun-
ior on the same Gold Glove squad.
One thing about defense, you can always
get better at it if you work hard, Loefer said.
Sometimes hitting is a little more difcult
because the pitchers get better. But for defense,
you can always get better if you work hard.
And I just made it goal for myself to be the
best defensively that I could be and I worked
hard on it every day.

SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain tossed and
turned and managed all of about four hours of
sleep following his history-making gem for the
Giants.
Perfectly understandable.
Cains perfect game will be remembered
among the most masterful pitching performanc-
es in regular-season baseball history, if not ever.
San Franciscos ace right-hander dominated
the Houston Astros every which way
Wednesday night in a 10-0 win for the 22nd
perfect game ever and the fth no-hitter already
this year.
He struck out a career-best 14 batters, making
up more than half of his 27 straight outs and
tying Sandy Koufax for most Ks in a perfecto.
Cain (8-2) threw 19 rst-pitch strikes and never
faced a 2-0 count in winning his career-high
seventh straight start.
Im still pumped, said Cain, who was back
on the eld playing catch with fellow starter
Madison Bumgarner by 10:15 a.m. Thursday
after a workout. I havent really had a ton of
time to sit down and look over stuff, see how it
all happened. I dont know that it has hit me yet,
maybe when I can sit down and watch the high-
lights, go over the game.
Add in a pair of improbable catches by
Melky Cabrera and Gregor Blanco to preserve
the bid, and Cain wound up with the rst per-
fect game in the franchises storied 130-year
history and its 14th no-hitter. It was the third
this month, as Cain joined the Mets Johan
Santana and a combined
no-no by Seattles staff.
He threw 125 pitches
most ever in a perfect game
and 86 of those for
strikes. Seven of his strike-
outs were called. He didnt
shake off catcher Buster
Posey even once. They
were in sync on this memo-
rable evening, all right.
Its something I always wanted to do since I
was little, but its kind of a blur when it actual-
ly happens, Cain said Thursday, when the
Giants lost their series nale to Houston 6-3.
Cain followed up Bumgarners 12-strikeout
night Tuesday, and they became the rst Giants
pitchers to record consecutive double-digit
strikeout games since Vida Blue and John
Montefusco in May 1978.
Things like this bring a team together even
more, San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy
said. Thats the rst one Ive seen. It was an
incredible night. Matt was going about it like a
normal game. That last at-bat he sprinted to rst
base and I yelled, Hey, take it easy. But he
always plays the game hard.
Team President and CEO Larry Baer and the
rest of the brass must have been pinching them-
selves in delight that they decided to reward the
two-time All-Star with a $127.5 million, six-
year contract days before the season began
the richest for a right-hander.
The 27-year-old Cain showed glimpses of his
potential for perfection in consecutive starts in
mid-April. There was a one-hitter against
Pittsburgh in the home opener, then nine
shutout innings against Cliff Lee and the
Phillies in a 1-0, 11-inning Giants victory his
next time out a memorable game in which
the aces combined to throw 19 scoreless
innings.
Yet even Giants Hall of Famers Carl Hubbell,
Christy Mathewson, Juan Marichal and
Gaylord Perry hadnt accomplished what Cain
did Wednesday.
Perry, who lives in the North Carolina moun-
tain town of Spruce Pine, caught the replays
when he woke up early Thursday. Hes thrilled
the Giants have a perfecto at last.
Ill take that no-hitter I had, though, Perry
said with a laugh, taking a break Thursday from
painting his horse barn. I saw him in the spring
and he was throwing well. He was just a strong
young man and I expect great things out of him,
maybe not another perfect game. I think hell be
the rst guy in many years to win 20 games for
us. He has the ght in him, he has the stuff and
he has the determination to do just that.
Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox
tossed the majors last perfecto at Seattle on
April 21. This is the second time in three years
there have been two perfect games in the same
season before that, the only other time it
happened was in 1880.
And San Francisco pitching coach Dave
Righetti was among the rst to embrace Cain
afterward. Righetti is the only other member of
the team with a no-hitter after he stymied the
rival Red Sox in a no-no for the New York
Yankees on July 4, 1983.
Cain revels in perfection day after Astros 6, Giants 3
SAN FRANCISCO J.D. Martinez hit his
rst career grand slam and the Houston Astros
avoided a three-game sweep with a 6-3 win over
the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.
Matt Downs also homered and Justin Maxwell
drove in a run for the Astros, who had dropped 13
of their previous 17 including a 10-0 loss
Tuesday night in which Giants ace Matt Cain
tossed a perfect game.
Wandy Rodriguez (6-4) went six innings to win
his third straight decision, allowing three runs on
six hits.
Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer and Hector
Sanchez added a sacrice y for the Giants, who
are 12-5 over their past 17 games.
Giants starter Barry Zito (5-4) lasted ve
innings, allowing ve runs on ve hits. He walked
three and struck out three in losing two straight
decisions for the rst time this season.
As 8, Rockies 2
DENVER Jarrod Parker allowed three hits
over seven scoreless innings and Brandon Moss
drove in three runs, helping the Oakland Athletics
beat the slumping Colorado Rockies 8-2 on
Thursday for their rst series sweep on the road
since the end of the 2010 season.
Parker (3-3) was bumped up a spot in the rota-
tion due to Brandon McCarthys sore shoulder.
The righty allowed just three singles before being
lifted for a reliever after throwing an efcient 89
pitches. Parker struck out six and walked just one.
Moss has been swinging a hot bat since being
brought up from Triple-A Sacramento on June 6.
He hit his fth homer in eight games, a solo shot
to right-center in the ninth.

Loefers defensive work was darn-near awless. In 2012,
the catcher posted a 1.000 elding percentage with 227 putouts
and 32 assists. But, when youre a catcher, there are nuances
that numbers just dont cover.
I focused on my relationship with my pitchers, Loefer
said. I wanted to be, like, a best friend to those pitchers. I
wanted them to feel comfortable with me and I wanted them to
be comfortable with what they were throwing. And what hap-
pened was, the more comfortable they were with me, the easi-
er it was for me to catch them because they were more around
plate. Its easy when you catch good pitchers.
Loefer was a stand-out player for Mills in the mid-2000s.
He then played two years at Skyline College before transfer-
ring and red-shirting at New Mexico State. But Loefer said
something just didnt t as a Lobo.
When you play at a high level, you realize you are one of
many people trying to play this game, he said. When I was at
New Mexico State, I didnt feel like I exactly mattered too
much. I was just a name on the list. But when I came to
Missouri Western, I felt a little more important and it gave me
more incentive to work harder. It brought me down to Earth a
little bit but I wouldnt do it any differently.
I felt like it was home denitely a good t, Loefer said
of MWSU. I feel like when you feel more comfortable with
your teammates and your coaches, you can play to the best of
your ability because you dont feel as much pressure. You can
be loose and just have fun with the game. I felt like I excelled
more than I ever had because of the feeling here.
Loefers attention to detail behind the plate made him an
invaluable piece of the Griffons puzzle. He admits his offensive
numbers werent what he wanted (.249 average, 37 RBIs, 13
extra-base hits) but his hard work with the tools made sure
manager Buzz Verduzco penciled his name into the lineup
every day (72 starts in 85 games played).
I had a plan of how I was going to make myself better
defensively, Loefer said. I had a lot of condence in that
plan. Most of my focus went on building a relationship with
my pitchers, then focusing on my offensive side of the game. I
didnt have as good of a offensive year so I was disappointed.
But I denitely had condence, had a game plan of how to
make myself better defensively. I worked on my defense
because I knew that if was good defensively, my pitchers
would be better and wed win more games.
Loefer is two classes away from earning his degree in
Communications. He plans to stay with the game he loves and
coach catching while pursuing his masters.
Im transitioning from goal to another, he said. I think my
passion is transitioning more to coaching. I want to coach. I
feel like I can relate to people about the game a lot more that
way.

LOEFFLER
might have had a couple hundred, he recalled. It was really
relaxed out there.
Good thing, too, because it took Thompson a little time to get
some traction. He bogeyed No. 1, but quickly got that back by
holing out from a bunker on the third, Then he made bogeys at
Nos. 5 and 6, but got those back, too, with birdies at 7 and 9.
Then Thompson found his groove, or perhaps simply redis-
covered the form that enabled him to post a runner-up nish
when the U.S. Amateur was played at Olympic in 2007.
Coincidentally, one of his playing partners Thursday was Colt
Knost, who beat Thompson 2 and 1 in the 36-hole nale that
year.
Though Thompson has plenty of experience at Olympic, he
hadnt played a meaningful round on the Lake Course until
qualifying for the U.S. Open last week. You wouldnt have
known that from the way he putted.
On the backside, the putter just, I mean, seems like every
putt went in the hole, Thompson said. I think I made ve 3s
in a row, and then was cruising.
I got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up.
Its always a little bit of an adjustment. In that sense. I kind of
wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the
beginning.
Even so, Thompson produced one more magical moment at
the end. After three straight pars, he closed with a 10-footer for
birdie at No. 18 and instead of mugging for the cameras, simply
acknowledged the cheers and rolled his ball to a fan on the hill-
side behind the green.
In the interview room afterward, a reporter suggested very
few golf fans would recognize Thompsons name and look
right past you to Tiger Woods at 1 under. Make the argument
why they shouldnt.

Spain 4, Ireland 0
GDANSK, Poland Fernando Torres scored a goal in each
half Thursday to give Spain a 4-0 win over Ireland and elimi-
nate the Irish from the European Championship.
David Silva and substitute Cesc Fabregas also scored sec-
ond-half goals as the defending champions improved to four
points in Group C, the same as Croatia.
Spain dominated the tempo and scoring opportunities
through its quick combinations. Torres scored rst, running
into the area in the fourth minute and sending an angled shot
over Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given. Silva added the second in
the 49th and Torres made it 3-0 in the 70th before Fabregas,
who replaced Torres, scored in the 83rd.
Italy 1, Croatia 1
POZNAN, Poland Italy sat back and paid for it Thursday in a
1-1 draw with Croatia at the European Championship.
Andrea Pirlo gave Italy the lead with a curving free kick in the
39th minute but Mario Mandzukic was left unmarked to equalize in
the 72nd.
Having opened with a 3-1 win over Ireland, Croatia has four
points in Group C. Italy has two points after its opening 1-1 with
defending champion Spain.
Italy had numerous other early chances, but the Azzurri lacked
nishing quality.
At the start of the second half, Italy rarely threatened, instead
choosing to absorb Croatias attacks. The tactic backred when Ivan
Strinic launched a long pass from the left ank to Mandzukic, who
had time to control at the edge of the box and shoot in off the post.

[Golf] was something new I didnt do a lot
of. I just enjoyed golf practices more than
baseball and basketball. I decided to play golf.
You didnt have to commit to a team.
I like putting in endless hours (of practice).
No one can master golf because it will always
get you at some point.
Since committing full time to golf as a 12-
year-old, Buchanan has quickly made up for
lost time. The senior-to-be led Menlo to the
West Bay Athletic League title, setting a new
school team record in the process. He was the
top qualier in the Central Coast Section tour-
nament and then shot a round for the ages
a 7-under 64 that tied for the lowest score in
the CCS championship.
For his efforts, Buchanan is the Daily
Journal Golfer of the Year.
I was on the 18th with my group, said
Dave Buchanan, Menlos coach and Andrews
father. Kevin Knox from Sacred Heart Prep
is a friend, he came up to me and said, Did
you hear? Andrew shot a 64. I tried to play it
cool. I didnt know what to say.
I said to my daughter, What did Andrew
shoot?. She said, 64. Thats 2 for 2. It was
really a special moment.
Many youth golfers stick with the game
because they were never very good at other
sports. Buchanans athleticism, however,
allowed him to accelerate his golf learning
curve.
Most of the guys hes competing with have
been playing since they were 8, 9 years old,
Dave Buchanan said. Hes been playing
catch up. He knew he had to catch-up. Thats
the commitment he made.
That commitment has Andrew Buchanan
constantly working on his game. Never satis-
ed, he takes whatever weakness he has and
works on it until its a strength. That in turn
makes a strength into a weakness and now he
has a new aspect of the game on which to
work.
Id say there are four different aspects (to
my game) and I need to work on one of them.
Whenever I nish a big stretch of tourna-
ments, I sort of readjust my work, look at what
I did well and what I did poorly, Andrew
Buchanan said. Its sort of a never-ending
cycle. You want to put the worst part (of your
game) at the top and then something else falls
to the bottom.
Said Dave Buchanan: When he rst started
playing tournaments, he had to hit a a lot of
ups and downs. That was his game: how many
pars can he save?
Then the irons started coming around, then
he had a lot of putts. Then he started working
on his putting.
He just gets more and more precise. Its
been a natural progression.
Dave Buchanan said his son has all the
physical tools to be a strong golfer. He said
Andrews best club might be his driver, which
he can bomb. But Dave Buchanan said his
sons biggest strength is his mental approach
to the game.
He doesnt get too high, doesnt get too
low. When hes walking up to the last hole,
you dont know if hes having a good round or
a bad round, Dave Buchanan said. Hes
steady Eddie. Even keel. Thats a good quali-
ty for golf.
Although he still have one more year of
high school golf and two more summers of
junior tournaments, Andrew Buchanan has
already orally committed to play at Southern
Methodist University in Texas. Just because
hes already locked up a scholarship, however,
doesnt mean hell stop working.
[Winning a CCS title] is the only thing I
have proven so far. Youre never given any-
thing at the next level. Its frustrating but its
the beauty of golf, Andrew Buchanan said. I
think golf is the most mentally-challenging
sport. You have to look forward. You cant let
the little things get to you.
GOLF
SANTA CLARA Nobody represents the
win-now mentality of the San Francisco 49ers
more than Justin Smith. The All-Pro defensive
tackle will tell you so himself.
The 49ers concluded their offseason work-
out program Thursday with Smith stressing
the urgency he sees developing as the defend-
ing NFC West champions prepare for the 2012
season.
San Francisco has built a contender expect-
ed to challenge for the Super Bowl. Those
hopes are built around players such as Smith,
one of nine 49ers to earn Pro Bowl honors last
season and a leader on a defense that returns
all 11 starters.
Entering his 12th NFL season, Smith says
he and the 49ers have a window of opportuni-
ty that doesnt come around often. And many
of those around him in the locker room feel
the same way.
The mindset Ive kind of been spreading to
the guys is, your team isnt always going to be
stacked, were not going to be able to keep this
team together forever, Smith said.
So lets go out and try to hammer this thing
home, Smith said. You know, were not
building, so lets do it this year. Its the goal of
31 other teams as well, so its going to be a
tough one to achieve. But we feel like weve
got the right team to do it.
Thats quite a contrast to last year at this
time, when the 49ers were coming off a string
of eight consecutive seasons without a playoff
berth and starting over again with a new
coaching staff led by Jim Harbaugh, San
Franciscos fourth head coach in nine years.
Since then, the 49ers made a surprise run to
the NFC Championship game, then loaded up
during the offseason with free agents and draft
picks to bolster the weak areas of their roster.
Smith sees sense of urgency
publications award as the sports top individ-
ual, he actually brings the whole Menlo team
with him, just like he has his entire career.
Hes a senior captain, Shine said. He been
there all four years. And hes really sacriced a
lot of his personal goals for the team. He was
just phenomenal. His growth over the last four
years and his leadership, especially over the last
couple of years, just by example. It was bitter-
sweet at the end of the season because hes such
a good young man. Were really going to miss
him.
The season went really well actually, Chan
said. I played consistently well. All my match-
es I played, I played fairly well. [And] we were
happy with the results, obviously.
The results for Menlo in 2012 were outstand-
ing, even by their own lofty standards. The
Knights went 29-0, breezing through the league
season, cruising through the Central Coast
Section tournament and then capturing another
NorCal title while being severely shorthanded
by a little test known as the SAT.
On top of that, Menlo is notorious for having
the most challenging non-league schedule by
any team in any sport.
Leading the charge through all those victo-
ries was Chan, who was invaluable with his
improved play on the court, but more impor-
tantly, for the leadership he provided off of it.
The rst couple of years, he played dou-
bles, Shine said. Hes very versatile. Hes a
really good doubles player and hes really expe-
rienced as a singles player, so he doesnt really
mind where hes playing on the ladder, he just
wants the team to win. Thats all he really cares
about. Hes got the condence to play real high
on the ladder. He understands that every match
is worth one point and you cant win all by
yourself, but you can certainly take care of
what youre court is doing. And thats really
what hes done the last four years.
We have to remind [the team] that if some
person doesnt do the tness, or doesnt work
as hard, we tell them straight up, you need to
step it up, or someone else is going to take your
spot. Our team is pretty balanced, its so com-
petitive that, if you dont work hard at practice,
you wont get the result in the matches.
Everyone thinks youre at a school of good
players and you just roll out the balls and it
takes care of itself, Shine said. Thats not the
way is. These kids work real hard. Theyre real-
ly focused on getting better. It really doesnt
matter what other teams are doing.
Its not fair to say that Chans title as the
Player of the Year is merely symbolic make
no mistake about it, Chan can ball.
Hes just now beginning to really blossom,
Shine said. He probably played some of his
best tennis this year. And hes gotten so much
stronger, better, so much more mature. He
knows what it takes to win, how to prepare for
a match, hes really mentally tough and hes got
the physical tools.
And listening to Chan talk about his game is
evidence of his high tennis IQ.
He was a real crafty player, Shine said. He
was very smart and very patience, good court
sense. He was very smart with his strategy and
how he breaks opponents down. So, I always
knew he had it.
The truth is, every player on the 29-0 Menlo
team has it like Chan, year in and year
out, no one handles the expectations and pres-
sures that come with an existing sports dynasty
like the Knights.
Thats one of the hard parts of being on the
team, Chan said. There is a lot of pressure. I
had a lot of pressure when we played in the
NorCal nals because I thought it was going to
be pretty close. But that type of pressure is
good for everyone.
Make no doubt about it, Shine said, these
kids hate to lose. But they play the game the
right way. They can dig deep when they need
to. Theyre very nice, but they have that killer
instinct as well. And thats a good thing.
And so, with a future at Dartmouth set, Chan
leaves behind an almost intimidating blueprint
for other Knight tennis players to try and live
up to.
I think hes going to leave a huge legacy,
Shine said. You cant do any better than what
hes done. All the kids look up to him. Hes just
been a great example. Hes won huge matches.
You can always count on him. Hes a great
teammate. Were going to miss him, but we
have young guys who have watched him
throughout the years and hes denitely going
to be remembered in a great way.
Because all he did was win, win, win.

Miami survives late rally, evens series at 1-1
OKLAHOMA CITY LeBron
James needed some help, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh provided it.
The Miami Heat nally rediscov-
ered the formula to winning in the
NBA Finals barely.
James scored 32 points, Wade
rebounded from a poor opener with
24 and the Heat built a huge early
lead before holding off a furious
fourth-quarter rally behind their
three All-Stars to beat the
Oklahoma City Thunder 100-96 on
Thursday night to tie the series at
one game apiece.
Bosh had 16 points and 15
rebounds in his return to the starting
lineup for the Heat, who snapped a
four-game nals losing streak with
their first victory since Game 3
against Dallas last year.
Weve been down. Weve with-
stood rallies. The good thing about
it, when they scored, we didnt get
our head down. We just got back on
offense and started to execute,
James said. Its a great team that
were going against. So were going
to need every effort, every play and
its going to take all the way down
to zeroes on that clock to get a win.
Now they go home to host Game
3 on Sunday and the next two after
that, knowing they dont have to
hear the noisy Thunder fans again
not to mention all their critics
if they win all three.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points for
the Thunder, but missed a shot after
appearing to be bumped with James
that would have tied a game the
Thunder trailed the entire way.
Russell Westbrook nished with 27
points, eight rebounds and seven
assists, but shot 10 of 25 from the
eld.
James Harden tried to keep the
Thunder in it early and nished with
21 points, but this time the Thunder
couldnt come back from a double-
digit decit after spotting Miami a
17-point advantage during their
worst rst half of the season.

Sporty Civic gets bigger engine
By Ann M. Job.
Hondas sportiest and most fun-to-drive
Civic, the 2012 Si, has freshened interior and
exterior, more power than ever and higher fuel
economy ratings than its predecessor.
In fact, the Sis new, 201-horsepower, natu-
rally aspirated, 2.4-liter four cylinder is the
same engine thats in the much-pricier 2012
Acura TSX and gives the 2012 Si new spirit,
even if its not turbocharged power.
The 2012 Civic Si also has new fuel econo-
my ratings of 22 miles per gallon in city driv-
ing and 31 mpg on the highway from the fed-
eral government compared with 21/29 mpg
for the 2011 Si.
This means the nimble handling Si has
higher fuel economy ratings than the 20/28-
mpg of the competing 2012 Mazdaspeed3
with 2.5-liter, turbocharged four cylinder.
Meantime, the Sis manufacturers suggest-
ed retail price, including destination charge,
of $23,145 for a base coupe is lower than the
$24,765 for a 2012 Volkswagen GTI 2-Door
that has a 200-horsepower, turbocharged four
cylinder. The Sis base price also is lower than
the $24,795 starting retail price of a 2012
Mazdaspeed3 with 263-horsepower, tur-
bocharged four cylinder.
The sole transmission for the Civic Si mod-
els sold as coupe and sedan is a close-
ratio six-speed manual that needs only a light
touch to move smoothly through the gears.
The clutch pedal in the test Civic Si Coupe
wasnt fussy, and the lack of an automatic
transmission wasnt a drawback except during
2012 Honda Civic 2-Door Si Navi
BASE PRICE: $22,355 for base model;
$23,855 with navigation.
PRICE AS TESTED: $24,645.
TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive, ve-
passenger, compact coupe.
ENGINE: 2.4-liter, dual overhead cam, inline

a lengthy trafc backup when the car
crawled along for miles and my left leg
tired of pushing the clutch pedal.
The new Si engine is the largest dis-
placement powerplant put in U.S.-mar-
ket Si cars. The horsepower increase
over last years 197 might seem minor,
but peak horsepower now comes at
7,000 rpm instead of 7,800 rpm so
theres a bit less rev noise to get the full
power.
More importantly, torque is up from
last years 139 foot-pounds at 6,900 rpm
to 170 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm. The
availability of peak torque at lower rpm
puts accelerative power in the range
where more drivers enthusiasts or
more mainstream types will get to
use it.
The tester pulled itself along with zip
in city traffic and could move with
urgency and with loud engine
revving sounds when kept in low
gears.
It didnt feel taxed even when scoot-
ing by a line of other cars, and at less
than 2,900 pounds, the Si coupe didnt
feel heavy. But neither did it feel tinny
or too light amid bigger vehicles.
Note the Civic Si, like all Civics,
comes with a lengthy list of safety fea-
tures, including electronic stability con-
trol with traction control, antilock
brakes, Brake Assist and six air bags.
The test car rode on 17-inch all-sea-
son tires, and there was a good amount
of road noise that came through to pas-
sengers. The radios volume was con-
stantly being adjusted to account for
noisy road surfaces and the sounds from
nearby diesel semis.
The Civic Si test cars steering had a
lighter feel than expected. But this was
predominantly at city speeds. On high-
ways and country roads, steering felt
more secure.
The Civic Si front bucket seats pro-
vided comfortable support, and theres a
generous 42.6 inches of front-seat
legroom. The low dashboard aided visi-
bility up front.
The back seat of the Si coupe, took
some effort to get into and out of;
legroom of 30.8 inches, while increased
by a half inch from the previous model,
is adequate only for children and the
short of stature.
Trunk space in the Si Coupe measures
11.7 cubic feet, up from 11.5 cubic feet
in the 2011 Si Coupe. But the hatchback
style of a VW GTI helps make for 15.3
cubic feet of cargo space in that car.
The new Si exterior styling is a subtle
blending and cleaning up of the previ-
ous model.
The interior drew mixed reviews.
Some passengers felt theres too much
hard plastic, with different textures,
while others said it will be easy to clean.
Note the Si doesnt offer leather-
trimmed seats, but the nice-looking
cloth seats in the test coupe had the ben-
et of helping to keep driver and pas-
sengers in place during aggressive driv-
ing. There is, however, standard leather
wrapped on the Si steering wheel.
Admittedly, the test car was driven
spiritedly and averaged 22 mpg in
city/highway travel. This is below the
governments combined 25 mpg rating.
Note that Hondas specs state premi-
um fuel is required for maximum per-
formance, so a ll-up of the Sis 13.2-
gallon tank these days can total more
than $51.
CIVIC
Consumer Reports doesnt rate the Civic Si separately from other,more mainstream
Civics. Overall, Civics rated above average in reliability.

LOS ANGELES Rock of Ages revels
in the big hair and tight leather pants of a very
specic place and time: the Sunset Strip in
1987, when bands like Guns N Roses and
Poison got their start. But a lot of great movies
came out that year, too. Here are ve of them;
I would have included The Princess Bride
but I already nd reasons to mention it every
other week:
Full Metal Jacket:
One of Stanley Kubricks best and I real-
ly should nd a reason to compile that list one
of these days this Vietnam War drama lulls
you in with its humor in the rst half, then
blows you away with its brutality in the sec-
ond. Kubrick follows a group of Marines
through boot-camp training, under the verbal-
ly abusive but hilariously profane watch of
their demanding drill sergeant, played by R.
Lee Ermey in the persona that would become
his signature. But then they must take what
theyve learned and apply it in pressure-cook-
er urban warfare situations. Full Metal
Jacket is raw and visceral in its details, yet
surreal and dreamlike in its mood. And it pro-
vides an early glimpse of the intensity and
immersion weve come to expect from
Vincent DOnofrio, committing himself com-
pletely here to the role of the slow-witted pri-
vate nicknamed Gomer Pyle.
Raising Arizona:
Still one of my all-time favorites from the
Coen brothers and a great example of the off-
kilter vibe that arose from their brief collabo-
ration with then-cinematographer Barry
Sonnenfeld. At times, this screwball comic
romance feels like a live-action cartoon, with
its odd characters and larger-than-life predica-
ments. The baby point-of-view shots alone
give the movie both a playful energy and a
genuine feeling of danger. Its silly and super-
stylized but it also works in its smaller
moments, as evidenced by Nicolas Cages
quietly unhinged performance as a philosoph-
ical career criminal who promises to go
straight and secure a baby for his yearning
police ofcer wife (Holly Hunter).
Moonstruck:
Ive always enjoyed the balance that direc-
tor Norman Jewison and Oscar-winning
screenwriter John Patrick Shanley strike here.
This is a movie thats unabashedly old-fash-
ioned and sweet but with a no-nonsense and
slightly shaggy streak. Everyone feels what
they feel so intensely, they must be under
some sort of magical spell. And yet the lm
affectionately teases them for being the fools
that theyve become. Heres Cage again as a
man full of impulses, driven by the passion he
feels for the luminous Cher, who tries not to
love him back because shes engaged to marry
Cages brother (Danny Aiello). Moonstruck
is a romantic comedy for people who dont
usually like romantic comedies.
Less Than Zero:
A lurid depiction of the drugs and deca-
dence of the time. Having grown up in Los
Angeles in the 1980s, I can attest that this is
not necessarily what it was like not in my
tame little corner of the San Fernando Valley,
where sneaking wine coolers felt rebellious.
Five great

Just when you thought youd
never hear Def Leppards
Pour Some Sugar on Me
again outside of a strip club
comes Rock of Ages, a shiny,
splashy homage to the deca-
dence of 1980s rock n roll.
Specifically, were talking
about 1987 on the Sunset
Strip, the birthplace of bands
like Guns N Roses and
Poison, and all the big-haired,
eye-linered debauchery that
defined that scene. Your
enjoyment of this musical,
based on the Tony-nominated
Broadway show, will depend
greatly on your enjoyment of
this music because director
Adam Shankman
(Hairspray) crams in a lot of
it.

REAL TO REAL: PHOTOGRAPHS
FROM THE TRAINA COLLECTION. An
engaging mix of images produced by some of
the pre-eminent artists working in photogra-
phy from the 1950s to the present is now on
exhibit at the de Young Museum in Golden
Gate Park. Real to Real: Photographs from the
Traina Collection, drawn from the holdings of
San Francisco native Trevor Traina, brings
together rare black-and-white vintage prints of
classic images by Robert Frank, Lee
Friedlander, Diane Arbus and Garry
Winogrand with works in color by artists rang-
ing from Stephen Shore and William
Eggleston to Cindy Sherman, Alec Soth and
Andreas Gursky.
Real to Real: Photographs from the Traina
Collection, which examines different historical
understandings of Realism and its changing
denitions over time, was curated jointly by
Art Historian Kevin Moore, who served as an
advisor to Traina on the collection, and
Founding Curator of Photography/Chief
Administrative Curator at the Fine Arts
Museums Julian Cox. Moore said, The pho-
tographic medium, in whichever form you nd
it (digital, analogue, chromogenic print, black-
and-white) still offers a connection to some
notion of realism, more so than, say, painting
or sculpture. The various artists in this show
demonstrate a range of attitudes toward the
idea of realism and photographys role in rep-
resenting realism. Thus you see a good bit of
straightforward documentation of life, yet also
a lot of questioning and trickery around the
idea of understanding life through a photo-
graph. This runs parallel to a process we all
engage on some level each and every day:
comprehending our reality.
While the core of the Traina collection
embraces the documentary impulse in photog-
raphy, it also tracks the mediums full-blooded
absorption into the world of contemporary art.
Photographys use in conceptual art has been
at the center of Trainas most recent activity as
a collector, which brings the exhibition fully
into the contemporary moment with new
works by artists such as Roe Etheridge,
Christopher Williams and Ryan McGinley.
Traina said, There are often photography
shows of one artist or one period. What makes
this show special is that it traces an idea the
evolution of the documentary tradition and the
maturation of the photographic medium
across almost seven decades. The evolution of
color photography and the huge glossy prints
that sit next to their pristine black and white
antecedents are really fun to see.
The de Young Museum is located in Golden
Gate Park, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive,
San Francisco. An accompanying 135-page
book for Real to Real: Photographs from the
Traina Collection features over 85 plates and
includes a foreword and introduction by
Curator Cox and an essay by Art Historian
Moore. For information about museum hours
and ticket prices, call (415) 750-3600 or visit

Photographs from the Traina Collection runs

PORTRAIT OF GEORGE ACQUIRED
BY SFMOMA. The San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art has acquired artist Robert
Arnesons Portrait of George (Moscone),
1981, a large-scale commemorative bust of
former San Francisco Mayor George Moscone
that incited controversy when rst commis-
sioned and unveiled by the city more than 30
years ago. Portrait of George (Moscone),
which represents an important moment in the
citys cultural and social history and adds to
the museums signicant holdings of
California art, is now on exhibit as part of an
entire gallery devoted to Arnesons work.
Since becoming director at the museum in
2002, I have sought to acquire this important
sculpture for San Francisco, said SFMOMA
Director Neal Benezra, who organized the
exhibition Robert Arneson: A Retrospective in
1986 during his tenure as curator at the Des
Moines Art Center and who has a longstanding
commitment to supporting the artists work. I
could not be more pleased to nally share this
cultural icon with the public and ensure its
safekeeping in SFMOMAs collection. The

magine crossing a monster potato with a
water chestnut. Thats jicama for you.
And while not much to look at on the
outside, the crisp, crunchy texture and clean,
sweet avor inside makes this veggie worth
seeking out.
First, the basics. Jicama (pronounced HICK-
a-MUH) is a tuber a big, brown, round
root. A relative of the bean family, it is native
to Mexico and South America.
Though most often eaten raw, such as
chopped into salads, jicama can be steamed,
boiled, sauteed or fried. And so long as you
dont overcook it, jicama retains its pleasantly
crisp texture (think fresh apple) when cooked.
The avor is on the neutral side, with a hint
of starchy sweetness. It really is quite similar
to water chestnuts, and can be substituted for
them.
The roots which are available year-round
can range anywhere from 8 ounces to 6
pounds. Thats a whole mess of tuber for you.
Once limited mostly to Latin American mar-
kets, the popularity of Hispanic foods has
pushed jicama into mainstream grocers. The
jicama at most grocery stores will be coated in
a thick wax. Its just as well; the thin brown
skin isnt edible and needs to be peeled off
anyway.
The easiest way to peel jicama is with a par-
ing knife. Just hack away the skin in chunks,
exposing the moist white heart of the root.
This then can be cut into chunks, matchsticks
or diced.
Whole jicama can be stored at room temper-
ature for a week or so, or refrigerated a bit
longer. Once cut, they can be wrapped in plas-
tic and refrigerated for about a week.
For ideas for using jicama, check out the Off
the Beaten Aisle column
over on Food Network:

SHRIMP AND
JICAMA SPRING
ROLLS
When soaking the
wrappers, be sure to do
them one at a time. And
dont soak them longer
than suggested or they
will fall apart. The rice
noodles and wrappers can be found in the
Asian or International aisle of most grocers.
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Makes 12 rolls
For the dipping sauce:
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice or cider vinegar
Hot sauce, to taste
For the spring rolls:
2 ounces dried bean or rice thread noodles
1/2 cucumber, peeled and halved lengthwise
4-ounces peeled jicama root
12 large rice-paper wrappers (8-inch round
or larger)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 pound cooked and cooled extra-large
shrimp, shelled and deveined
12 large fresh mint leaves
To make the dipping sauce, in a blender
combine the peanut butter, jam, soy sauce and
vinegar. Blend until smooth. Add hot sauce, to
taste, then set aside.
Place the noodles in a bowl and cover with
hot water. Soak for 5 minutes, or until soft-
ened. Drain well in a mesh strainer and set
aside.
Use a spoon to scrape out and discard the
seeds from the cucumber halves. Cut each
piece into thin strips. Cut the jicama into thin
slices, then cut each slice into thin match-
sticks.
Fill a large bowl (at least several inches larg-
er than the rice wrappers) with warm water.
Soak 1 wrapper in the water until soft and pli-
able, 20 to 30 seconds.
Carefully remove the rice wrapper from the
water and lay at on the counter. Place a small
bundle of noodles along one edge of the
wrapper. Top the noodles with a bit each of
cucumber, jicama and carrots. Place 3 shrimp
over the vegetables, then top with a mint
leaf.
Roll the wrapper, starting with the lling
side, folding the ends over the lling as you
roll to form a tight cylinder. Repeat with the
remaining wrappers and llings. Serve the
spring rolls with the dipping sauce.

WASHINGTON Senate passage of a
half-trillion dollar farm and food bill
depends in part on resolving a dispute
over subsidies between Southern rice and
peanut growers and Northern corn and
soybean producers. But that regional
divide was less in evidence Wednesday, as
senators narrowly voted to maintain price
supports and quotas for sugar producers
ranging from Florida to Montana.
Senators traditionally put their partisan-
ship aside on farm bills, and this year is no
different. But the ve-year farm policy bill
also makes dramatic changes in how
farmers are protected from nancial and
natural disasters and, as in all major
changes, some see themselves as losers. In
this case, its the Southerners.
The bill ends $5 billion a year in direct
payments to farmers whether or not they
actually plant a crop and programs that
reward farmers when prices fall below a
targeted level.
Instead, the government would offer a
new shallow loss program to aid farm-
ers when revenues fall between 11 percent
and 21 percent below ve-year moving
averages and would put greater emphasis
on subsidized crop insurance. Farmers
regular crop insurance would pay for loss-
es above 21 percent.
Corn and soybean growers, which are
more subject to natural disasters and rely
on crop insurance, welcome the change.
Rice and peanut growers, more affected
by price uctuations, say that for them the
new safety net is inadequate.
Senate Agriculture Committee chair-
man Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said she
is talking to the Southern growers and was
condent that by the end of this process,
we will come to the middle. But she said
that might not come until the House and
Senate meet to iron out differences on
their bills.
The Congressional Budget Ofce esti-
mates this new shallow loss program
could save taxpayers some $8.5 billion
over the next ve years compared with the
current subsidy system. The entire bill,
which also covers conservation and
research programs, would reduce spend-
ing by $23.6 billion over the coming
decade.
Farm bill creates regional divide

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Michele Locke
The parade of retro treats marches on. And
this summer it seems the foodie hipster scene
has declared shaved ice is the hot new old
way to stay and be cool.
We have lines. People are really excited
about it, says David Carrell, one of the oper-
ators of the New York City-based Peoples
Pops, which specializes in shaved ice, along
with ice pops, both made with fresh fruits and
herbs.
Carrell, also a coauthor of the new
Peoples Pops cookbook containing 55 ice
pop and shaved ice recipes, thinks shaved ice
is just on the cusp of becoming a mainstream
phenomenon. And he thinks for good reason,
saying shaved ice has dramatic appeal, espe-
cially when made from hand-carved ice.
Theres not that much visible about an ice
pop, he says. But if you have a 75- to 100-
pound block of ice sitting in front of you and
youre shaving it by hand especially on a
day when its 88 going on 110 degrees it
will stop you in your tracks.
Unlike snow cones, where the ice is usually
crushed, shaved ice is wait for it shaved,
resulting in a nely textured ice that absorbs
the syrup added to it. Its popular in a number
of cultures; think granitas in Italy or piraguas
in Puerto Rico.
In the United States, the treat is a specialty
of Hawaii, where its known as shave ice and
may come served on top of a scoop of vanilla
ice cream and/or with a splash of sweetened
condensed milk on top. (Pictures of President
Barack Obama enjoying shave ice during vis-
its to the Aloha State have certainly helped
boost the products visibility.)
Shaved ice can be made the old-fashioned
way like Peoples Pops does it or in one of the
many machines available on the market, each
promising to deliver ice with just the right tex-
ture. In fact, retailers this summer seem ush
with shaved ice machines; Target alone offers
several models, most selling for around $20.
What one does with that shaved ice is where
things get interesting. Syrup avors can range
from the traditional, such as pineapple or
strawberry, to the less-expected, like the
mango tea and green apple served by chef
Peter Smith at the PS7s restaurant in the Penn
Quarter section of Washington, D.C.
At the Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar and
Eatery in Arlington, Va., chef Davis Guas
serves some interestingly avored shaved ice
and has a few syrup tips for those who want to
try making their own. First, start with the
freshest fruit. Second, dont puree the fruit,
especially if it has seeds. Rather, macerate it
with a little sugar and lemon juice, then steam
it in a double boiler before straining the juice
through cheesecloth.
Finally, poke the ice with a straw before
adding the syrup. This helps ensure that the
syrup gets evenly distributed.
If youre feeling festive, shaved ice can
segue into cocktail hour. For private events,
Carrell has made a fresh watermelon lemon-
ade Bellini version that includes prosecco.
When its 95 degrees and its July, nothing
really beats a fresh shaved ice watermelon
lemonade Bellini, he says.
Machines for making shaved ice at home
have become common, especially this sum-
mer. Hand-cranked models can sell for less
than $10, with more powerful electric ver-
sions averaging $20 and up. But if you dont
have or want a machine, its easy to make
granita-style shaved ice. Our recipes offer
directions for both methods.
COCONUT-LIME SHAVED ICE
Start to nish: 15 minutes, plus chilling
Servings: 16
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup lime juice
Zest of 2 limes
Cream of coconut, to drizzle
In a small saucepan over medium heat,
combine the sugar, water, lime juice and lime
zest. Heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves,
about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat
and allow the mixture to cool completely.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
To use with shaved ice, drizzle a bit of the
syrup over a cone or bowl of ice, then drizzle
cream of coconut over the top.
Alternatively, to make granita, stir another 1
1/2 cups of water and 1/2 cup lime juice into
the entire batch of chilled syrup. Pour the
mixture into a 9-by-13-inch pan and freeze.
Every 20 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir
the mixture until it is rm with small ice crys-
tals. Gently fold and swirl 1/2 cup cream of
coconut into the mixture, then scoop into
bowls to serve.

Ah, but on the other side of the hill, everyone
was rich and sophisticated and stylishly tor-
mented at least through novelist Bret
Easton Ellis eyes. This early Robert
Downey Jr. performance showed glimmers
of the quick wit and emotional depth that
continue to be his trademarks. Ed
Lachmanns cinematography made sunny
L.A. seem dangerous and seamy. And it had
a great soundtrack including The Bangles
insanely catchy cover of Hazy Shade of
Winter and the LL Cool J classic Goin
Back to Cali.
Dirty Dancing:
This is a nostalgic choice, admittedly. I
probably should have picked something artsi-
er and more respected like The Last
Emperor, which won nine Academy Awards
including best picture. But looking back,
which lm left the most enduring mark on the
culture, on the era? Of the ve listed here, its
Dirty Dancing, far and away. Hugely
crowd-pleasing with an infectious energy and
a vivid sense of place, this became an interna-
tional phenomenon, and its easy to see why.
Its just fun. Great music, great choreography.
Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze are lovely
together, even though on paper they make
absolutely no sense as a couple. And we all
learned that nobody puts Baby in a corner.
You just dont do it.
FIVE
Remember You? If your answer is yes, youll
probably have a good time, even though the
movie lasts an awfully long time. Theres way
too much Foreigner on the soundtrack for my
personal liking, and no one ever needs to hear
Starships We Built This City played in pub-
lic (or in private for that matter), even ironi-
cally. Journeys Dont Stop Believin, the
lms climactic nal number, has the misfor-
tune of having grown tiresome in recent years
between its inclusion on Glee and The
Sopranos nale. And if were really being
nitpicky, some of the songs featured here, like
the Extreme ballad More Than Words, did-
nt even exist yet.
Still, if this era was a formative time in your
life and youre feeling a yearning for kitschy
nostalgia, Rock of Ages provides a suf-
ciently fun little escape. Aqua Net! Wine cool-
ers! Men with ponytails! We were so lame.
Sure, the characters are all broad types,
from fresh-faced newcomers with dreams of
stardom to grizzled, cynical veterans whove
seen it all. And sure, their antics are glossed-
up and watered-down compared to reality to
ensure a PG-13 accessibility. But the movie
has enough energy to keep you suitably enter-
tained, as well as a knowing, cheeky streak
that prevents it from turning too reverent and
self-serious.
The impossibly adorable Julianne Hough
stars as Sherrie, a wholesome blonde fresh off
the bus from Oklahoma who hopes to make it
as a singer in Los Angeles. Instead, she ends
up working as a waitress at the venerable (and
ctional) Bourbon Room, where she quickly
falls for aspiring rocker Drew (Diego
Boneta).
But the club has lost some of its cache, to
the distress of its owner (Alec Baldwin in long
hair and a leather vest) and his right-hand man
(Russell Brand, being Russell Brand), so
theyre hoping a performance from rock god
Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise, easily the best part
of the lm) will keep them alive. Stacees
sleazy manager (a well-cast Paul Giamatti,
whos also game enough to sing) merely
wants to continue milking his notoriously
unreliable client.
With a bandana tied around his long, wild
tresses, aviator sunglasses and fur coat over
his bare, tatted chest, Cruise is clearly aping
Guns N Roses lead singer Axl Rose. (And
speaking of apes, everywhere the character
goes, hes accompanied by his pet baboon
named Hey Man). But the swagger is reminis-
cent of his supporting role in Magnolia, still
his best work yet. Cruise gives a performance
thats intensely weird and weirdly intense; its
sexy and funny and a great t for his own sta-
tus as a rock star among actors.
Unfortunately, this lm version (with a
script from Chris DArienzo, who created the
stage show, Allan Loeb and Justin Theroux)
also feels the need to cram in a subplot about
the self-righteous, uptight wife (Catherine
Zeta-Jones) of L.A.s mayor (Bryan
Cranston), whos on a crusade to clean up the
Strip. Even though the Chicago stars inten-
tionally rigid performance of Pat Benatars
Hit Me With Your Best Shot is good for a
laugh, the whole story thread seems like a fee-
ble attempt at injecting tension.
Far more effective is the presence of Mary
J. Blige as the strip club owner with a heart of
gold who takes Sherrie under her wing when
life in Los Angeles gets too tough. The second
she struts into a room and opens her mouth,
she just blows everyone else away a pow-
erful reminder of how a superstar can truly
rock.
Rock of Ages, a New Line Cinema
release, is rated PG-13 for sexual content,
suggestive dancing, some heavy drinking and
language. Running time: 123 minutes. Two
and a half stars out of four.
ROCK
The British band lead singer Joe Elliott,
bassist Rick Savage, drummer Rick Allen and
guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell
re-recorded two of their songs that appear in
the lm, and theyre teaming up with Poison
and Lita Ford for a summer tour kicking off
June 20 in Salt Lake City.
The movie helps a lot without the momen-
tum of something like a new album, said
Elliott during a break from rehearsing for the
tour, which theyre not-so-subtly calling the
Rock of Ages tour.
In the movie, Tom Cruises out-there rocker
Stacee Jaxx performs a splashy version of Def
Leppards 1987 Pour Some Sugar on Me.
The band was unavailable to lm a cameo
alongside the likes of Sebastian Bach and
Debbie Gibson, who appear in the movie, but
Elliott and Savage are fully supportive of the
homage to the 1980s rock scene and believe it
will lure new fans to their shows.
AP: You werent associated with the
Rock of Ages stage show but you are with
the lm. Whys that?
Joe Elliott: You could say with hindsight
that we didnt make a wrong decision, we just
made a decision. We revisited that decision
when they threw out the idea of the lm to us
because they mentioned people like Tom
Cruise and Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand
and Catherine Zeta-Jones and the director
who did Hairspray.
AP: Did you ever in a million years think
Tom Cruise would be singing one of your
songs in a musical?
Rick Savage: Its not one of those things
you think about, really.
Joe Elliott: Could you imagine if it was
though? You get in the shower one day and go,
I wonder if Tom Cruise will ever sing Pour
Some Sugar on Me?
Rick Savage: We were fortune enough to
check his lming out of that particular per-
formance because we were both in Florida at
the same time. We were about half an hours
drive away. We just had to get there as he was
shooting some of the scenes. That was special
in itself, just getting to meet the man.
Joe Elliott: It was pretty surreal, actually.
We just walked into this little seedy club in Ft.
Lauderdale, and there up on stage is Stacee
Jaxx doing Sugar. Its like, What is this?
Its nuts.
AP: What did you think of his interpreta-
tion of the song?
Rick Savage: His voice was good.
Joe Elliott: Yeah, we were talking to him
between takes, and he was a little put out
that we were there at first, you know, Uh
oh. The queens in town! He said, What
do you think? I said, Can you sing? He
said, No, I started like four or five months
ago, just a couple of hours a day. He had
other movies he was shooting, so it was like
a part-time thing. Im thinking, Wow. If
hes got that good in four or five months,
thats much better than half the people on
some of these talent shows.
AP: Why did you decide to release re-
recorded versions of Rock of Ages and
Pour Some Sugar on Me this summer?
Joe Elliott: Our work is not available on
any digital domain, except for the last album,
the Mirrorball album, because its a catalog
issue with the record label, so we just wanted
studio versions of those songs available for
this summer because of the lm coming out.
AP: What was it like re-recording those
classics?
Joe Elliott: We had to be really careful that
we actually studied them, literally like forger-
ies. Its like Donald Pleasence in The Great
Escape doing passports. Its got to be exactly
the same to fool the old German guard. Thats
the same thing with these songs. We wanted
them to have the same energy, that youthful
exuberance we had in 83 and 87, so people
that are sympathetic to our cause listen to
them and say, Wow, theyve still got it. They
can perform the songs the way they did back
then.

der conviction was overturned by an
appellate court. In March, a new jury
returned the same verdict and Thursday
morning Judge Barbara Mallach
imposed the same term which doubled
because of a previous conviction. She
also told Ali he had very little insight
into his crime and called Biletnikoffs
killing a tragedy for both families.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe,
who prosecuted Ali twice, said he was
satised knowing he isnt eligible for
parole until 2060 at age 85.
This guy is a danger to women. He is
a manipulator. He is a fraud. He is a dan-
ger to women and needs to be locked up
the rest of his life, Wagstaffe said.
The couple met in 1997 when
Biletnikoff was in a womens recovery
program and Ali eventually became a
part-time counselor with Project 90. On
Feb. 15, 1999, he strangled Biletnikoff
inside an ofce at Friendship Hall, a sub-
stance abuse meeting place in San Mateo
where the two went after his relapse con-
fession. He used a Project 90 van to
move her body to Caada College in
Redwood City and ed to Mexico in her
car. He was apprehended at the border
returning to the United States.
The weekend before their confronta-
tion, Ali drank and used crack, heroin
and crank. After his confession,
Biletnikoff told him he would have to
begin the program over and refused to
give him her car keys so that, according
to the prosecution, he could score more
drugs and escape a probation urine test
the following day. Defense attorney
Peter Goldscheider, and Ali in his own
testimony, said Biletnikoff called him
names and was upset he had contact with
a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Ali called the
death unintentional, testifying he put his
hands on Biletnikoffs shoulders to
move her from the ofce door and next
remembered seeing her on the ground.
But forensic experts said scratches and
bruises on Biletnikoffs throat indicated
a struggle and that she would have taken
at least three to ve minutes to die.
Wagstaffe told jurors during the retrial
that Ali deliberately tightened a black T-
shirt around Biletnikoffs neck to nish
the killing but the defense argued he had
added the ligature after her death as part
of his panicked attempts to make the
death look like a sex crime.
During the trial, the prosecution also
called several of Alis former girlfriends,
including one he kidnapped twice and
another who he was seeing at the same
time as Biletnikoff, to establish a pattern
of violence.
Jurors deliberated only a day before
convicting Ali, later telling the family
and attorneys they felt he lied when tes-
tifying that he did not remember choking
Biletnikoff.
The defense had argued for voluntary
manslaughter, saying Ali didnt make a
rational decision to kill and was inu-
enced by bipolar disorder that went
undiagnosed until his imprisonment. A
prosecution psychiatric expert testied
that the condition would not allow Ali to
remember details before and after but
not during the actual act of choking.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
overturned Alis rst conviction in 2009,
ruling that Wagstaffe had improperly
removed at least one black individual
from the jury pool for racial discrimina-
tion reasons. Wagstaffe has maintained
the ruling was incorrect and during yes-
terdays hearing Angela Biletnikoff told
the court the retrial proved as much.
Wire reports contributed to this arti-
cle.

their clothing.
Three-year-old Matteo Tang, from San
Bruno, was brushing a black goat who
appeared to have become quite fond of
the boy.
Sarah Michaelis, from Pacica, was
happy to see how much her 7-month-old
son Hudson was enjoying the animals.
She struggled however, with keeping the
little ones hands out of his mouth after
petting the animals.
Close-up encounters with all kinds of
critters are available at the San Mateo
County Fair, which runs through this
weekend. From traditional farm animals
to what can be found in the rainforest,
children get a hands-on, close-up experi-
ence at this fair.
Dont want to take on the petting zoo?
Visit animals that are there to show. Git
R Done, a 256-pound pig, and Tatertot,
weighing in at 230 pounds, may be just
lying low. But they dont mind visitors.
In fact, some pigs love fans.
For the eighth year, the Ham Bone
Express is putting on pig races at the fair.
With racers like Britney Spare Rib, Lady
Hoga and politician Anthony Wiener,
pigs race in hopes of being the swiftest
swine off the line.
This year, 21 little piggies are winning
over the hearts of fair-goers by compet-
ing on the small track. Ever-growing
crowds forced organizers to move the
daily entertainment to an area with much
more seating. Despite the extra seats,
there still seems to be viewers struggling
to watch the mini racers.
Children and adults alike cheered on
the pink, brown and black pigs with pop
culture and politically inspired names in
hopes their favorite would be the wiener,
er, winner.
These pigs dont race for fame. These
oinkers are racing for an Oreo cookie,
said Ham Bone Express Owner Charlie
Boger. Losers only get crumbs.
Naming the racers can be the most
entertaining and time-relevant aspect of
pig racing with inspiration coming from
headlines and gossip-inspired sources.
If its more exotic critters piquing your
interest, check out the Rainforest
Adventure, which is expanded this year,
said Fair Manager Matt Cranford.
Inside, children and adults took
turns touching a tortoise, getting close to
a hedgehog or listening to birds.
Eight-and-a-half-year-old Violet
braved a scorpion to walk across her
hands. It reminded the little girl of the
feeling she gets when holding her pet
rats Winter and EP, which stands for
exclamation point.
The San Mateo County Fair runs
through Sunday, June 17 at the San
Mateo County Events Center, 2495 S.
Delaware St. in San Mateo. It opens
from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends and
noon to 10 p.m. on weekdays. The carni-
val will remain open until 11 p.m. night-
ly. General admission to the fair

Adler to the vacant position left by for-
mer controller Tom Huenings mid-term
resignation and agreed to look at the
possibility of changing how the position
is lled.
The controller, essentially the countys
top scal ofcer, is an elected position
but the county charter allows the board
to ll vacancies through either an elec-
tion or appointment. The board vote 3-2,
with Supervisor Dave Pine and Groom
dissenting, to avoid a costly special elec-
tion and let Adler nish out Huenings
term.
Now, Horsley says the county would
benet by avoiding elections altogether.
Its really difcult sometimes to work
with elected ofcials because they can
disregard what the board or county
thinks is best, Horsley said.
Horsley believes ofces without poli-
cy-making functions should report to the
county manager. He does want the posi-
tion to retain some degree of independ-
ence with respect to audits which is why
he suggests limiting terms to six years
with a two-term maximum.
In 2010, a 17-person Charter Review
Committee on which Pine sat prior to
becoming a supervisor, recommended
making both the controller and treasurer-
tax collector appointed jobs. The board
rejected the idea 5-0. Then-supervisor
Rich Gordon, now a state assemblyman,
disagreed he preferred consolidation
into a single CFO position but
declined to make a motion because of
the other supervisors opposition. A
majority of the Charter Review
Committee also did not favor that idea.
Horsley said hes not interested right
now at considering changes to or consol-
idation with the treasurer position.
However, he is open to restructuring the
list of job requirements.
Currently, the law holds that the con-
troller must meet at least one of several
criteria: be a certied public accountant;
hold a baccalaureate degree in account-
ing or its equivalent and not less than
three years experience within the last
ve years in a senior management posi-
tion in a public agency, private rm or
nonprot organization; be a designated
professional auditor with at least 16 col-
lege semester units in accounting, audit-
ing or nance; or have at least three
years continuous service as a county
auditor, chief deputy county auditor or
chief assistant county auditor.
The Board of Supervisors meet 9 a.m.
Tuesday, June 19 in Board Chambers,
400 County Government Center,
Redwood City.

Ethan Hawke: My teen
daughter is remarkable kid
NEW YORK Ethan Hawke is
approaching uncharted territory: raising
a teenage daughter. But the 41-year-old
Reality Bites actor couldnt be more
excited.
I know shes a miracle happening.
Its awesome, said Hawke of 13-year-
old Maya Ray, his daughter with ex-
wife Uma Thurman.
People always warn me that its
going to be challenging having a
teenage daughter, and the truth is its
one of the most exciting things thats
ever happened to me, said Hawke.
Shes a remarkable kid.
He easily jumped into his latest role
a frustrated American writer who
moves to Paris to be closer to his young
daughter in his new film, The
Woman in the Fifth.
I try to let every character that you
play feel like they hit close to home.
You know, whether the details of your
life are similar or not, its still a fiction.
But what you want to do is make it per-
sonal to you, explained Hawke of the
artsy, Polish-French movie, in theaters
Friday.

using each schools Academic Performance
Index and separately for elementary, middle
and high schools. The similar school rank
shows the schools standing among 100
schools with similar makeup such as school,
student and teacher characteristics. Because of
how the rankings are calculated, there will
always be schools ranked 1 and others ranked
10.
Students statewide were tested this spring. In
addition to being ranked, goals set Thursday
are related to those recently-completed tests,
results of which will be released this summer.
Goals range from none at all, for schools
which already score 800 or higher, to a request-
ed 18-point gain for schools which have yet to
attain the 800 score. The largest goals were
given to continuation and alternative school
programs. Most schools given goals, 56 out of
62, were asked to grow the score by less than
10 points.
The Academic Performance Index is a
numeric scale ranging from 200 to 1,000 that
reects a schools performance level based on
statewide testing results. While a 700 score is
considered basic and an 875 score is consid-
ered procient, California has a performance
target goal score of 800 for all schools.
Not meeting the standards can mean a loss of
funding or control for schools and school dis-
tricts. These thresholds of understanding will
slowly increase to meet the requirements of the
federal No Child Left Behind Act. At that
point, it may become harder for districts and
schools to meet the target growth. These objec-
tives increase over time so that, by the 2013-14
school year, 100 percent of students at all
schools must score at the procient level or
above.

API
The API scores were taken from the 2011 Growth
Academic Performance Index prepared by the
California Department of Education this year. API
scores range from 200 to 1,000, with 200 being far
below basic,500 being below basic,700 being basic,
875 being procient and 1,000 being advanced.The
statewide API performance target for all schools is
800.
The scores are shown for the individual schools
within each district. The rst number is the 2011
base API score, the second is the 2011 statewide
rank, the third is the similar schools rank, the fourth
is the 2011-12 growth target, and the nal number
is the 2011 API target. Some schools may have an
B in a column. B means the schools is an LEA or
alternative model so it does not receive a statewide
or similar school rank. Some schools may have an
Ain the fourth or fth column.A means the school
surpassed the statewide goal last year and wasnt
given a goal. A * denotation means a school had
between 11 to 99 students tested.
