Two taxes on city’s agenda
Redwood City officials consider increasing business,hotel taxes
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Redwood City Council will
consider raising revenue by one of
two taxes — or possibly both —
even though a previous attempt to
do so failed at the ballot two years
ago.
The key to success this time will

Located in Woodside, Filoli is
known for its historic house and 16
acres of formal gardens. The garden
provides the flowers for arrange-
ments kept in the house throughout
the year. Fifteen years ago, the cen-
ter began offering floral design pro-
grams. The certificate program has
always been headed by Patrick who
is loved by all who take the course.
In April, a celebration for the pro-
gram’s anniversary was held. But
the focus was Patrick, and it was
also a birthday celebration for her.

Water goals
out of sync
City,private water company at odds
over conservation plan, projections
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The city of San Mateo’s long-term
plans to conserve water are out of
sync with the private company that
supplies water to it and its residents.
San Mateo has a far more aggres-
sive plan to reduce water usage by
the year 2020 than the California
Water Service Company, leaving
some city officials wondering if
there will be ample enough water to
support all the high-density housing
the city has approved in recent
years.
State law mandates the reduction
of water usage by 20 percent by
2020 for all water distributors, pub-
lic or private.

simply grow out of its financial

Without any steps, the city was

going anywhere, of course, and now Fox
will have Simon Cowell’s “The X

cess, NBC has made “The Voice” a cen-
tral building block after a couple of
strong weeks.
“Some critics say we’re ripping off

Kimmel’s take on “The X Factor”:
entertainment chief Kevin Reilly.
“Comedy was kind of anemic for a
while.”
Judging shows on the basis of a few
minutes’ highlights is dangerous, but it
looks like there may be a rough period
of trial and error next season.
ABC’s “Work It” is about two men
who dress as women to get a job; it’s
hard to envision the idea sustaining itself
for more than 20 minutes. The big joke
in NBC’s “Up All Night” is new parents

Man,31,arrested in SF Giants fan beating

By Christopher Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A tip from a
parole officer led to the arrest
Sunday of the key suspect in the
attack on a San Francisco Giants fan
outside Dodger Stadium after the
rival teams’ season opener, a brutal
beating that brought an outpouring
of support for the victim and out-
rage in the sports world and beyond.
Suspect Giovanni Ramirez, 31,
was detained in an early morning
raid on an East Hollywood apart-
ment building and was believed to
be the “primary aggressor” in the
March 31 beating that left Bryan
Stow with brain damage, Police
Chief Charlie Beck said at an after-
noon news conference at the stadi-
um that included Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa and Dodgers officials.
Ramirez, of Los Angeles, was
later booked for assault with a dead-
ly weapon and was being held on $1
million bail, police said in a state-
ment.
An emotional Beck hailed the
work of 20 full-time detectives who
he said have pursued more than 630
leads in the case so far. The police
chief choked back tears as he
described getting a call at 7 a.m.
Sunday from Assistant Chief Earl
Paysinger.
“He said the words I’ve been
waiting for for seven weeks. He said
that we had Bryan’s assault suspect
in custody,” Beck said. “This is a
huge step.”
Ramirez was among several peo-
ple detained for questioning after
police served two search warrants,
Los Angeles police Det. Jose
Carillo said. Police said he was one
of two suspects sought in the beat-
ing, along with a woman who drove
them from the scene.
Beck did not know if Ramirez had
hired an attorney.
It was unclear why the others
were detained, but police said in a
statement that they anticipate
releasing everyone but Ramirez.
Detectives and SWAT team mem-
bers with a search warrant, loud-
speakers and guns drawn conducted
the raid in the department’s
Rampart District, which has tradi-
tionally been home to significant
gang activity, though it has waned
in recent years.
“When I went to bed last night I
did so knowing that detectives from
northeast and members from our
swat team were going to serve war-
rants in Rampart,” Beck said. “I
knew those warrants were specific
to Bryan Stow’s assault.”

TAXES
Continued from page 1
The transient occupancy tax is
imposed on individuals staying in a city
hotel or motel. The city last increased its
TOT in 2003 from 8 percent to 10 per-
cent, placing it in the middle range of
the county’s 15 cities which levy such a
tax.
An increase would be a general tax
measure requiring a simply majority to
pass.
The business license tax rate last
changed in July 1994 as part of an ordi-
nance which called for an annual 5 per-
cent increase over five years. The rate is
currently $37 per business plus $24 for
each full-time employee and $12 for
The recommended increase would
change the tax to $59 per business plus
$38 and $19 for each full-time and part-
time employee, respectively. Like TOT,
this tax measure also requires a simple
majority.
The council asked voters in November
2009 to pass the same tax and its failure
surprised many simply because there
was no organized opposition.
Foust thinks a general anti-tax senti-
ment played a role as did a lack of out-
reach by city officials to educate the
public.
In fact, the measures’ wording pro-
posed in part by councilmen Ian Bain
and John Seybert, an ad hoc subcommit-
tee of the council’s Finance Committee,
specifies each are “to preserve funding
for general city services such as
safety and support other fundamental
city services.”
The Chamber of Commerce backed
the previous tax request and may do so
again but the Board of Directors will not
survey its members and vote on a posi-
tion until after the City Council moves
to place the measure or measures on the
ballot. However, a survey conducted in
January showed 56 percent of members
responding supported an increase in the
business license tax.

Lawmaker seeks to regulate DUI checkpoints

By Lien Hoang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — A week after
Nora Ramos gave birth by
Caesarean section, she found herself
walking five miles home with her
husband and four children.
On their way from the hospital in
Modesto, the family had been
stopped at a DUI checkpoint.
Ramos’ husband, who had been
driving because his wife was dizzy
from morphine, did not have a
license, and police impounded their
car.
That was four years ago. Today,
Ramos is joining civil liberties
groups and those advocating for
minority rights, who say dozens of
sobriety checkpoints throughout
California have been used to gener-
ate impoundment fees rather than
arrest drunken drivers.
They support a proposed law from
Democratic state Assemblyman
Michael Allen that aims to restrict
the inspections to their intended pur-
pose of stopping drunken driving.
“Yes, I understand, if they are
drunk drivers, grab them, throw
them in jail,” said Ramos, who is 33.
“But what about people who have
nothing to do with that?”
Allen, from Santa Rosa, said cities
and police have strayed from the
original mission
of checkpoints,
increasingly
using them to
seize vehicles.
Impound-
ments increased

and 2009,

to 1.
Jeannette Zanipatin, an attorney
with the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund, says
the checkpoints target minorities
and the poor, among them illegal
immigrants who cannot legally
obtain driver’s licenses.
“There’s less resistance, there
aren’t advocates, there’s no recourse
for these people,” she said.
The problem, according to Allen,
is that many drivers and their fami-
lies end up stranded once their vehi-
cles are hauled off. Ultimately, they
also forfeit the vehicles because they
can’t afford the impoundment fees,
which can be thousands of dollars.
That includes Ramos, who says her
husband lost his construction job
along with the family car.
“The idea that people lose their
livelihoods because they can’t have
family come help them doesn’t
make sense to me,” Allen said. “It
seems cruel and heartless.”
Zanipatin’s group, which is
among more than 20 that officially
back Allen’s bill, said cities and
police misuse the checkpoints to
make money.
“It’s a way for them to generate
revenue, easy revenue that goes
unchallenged,” Zanipatin said.
Multiple law enforcement agen-
cies have denied that departments
abuse checkpoints, including the
California Police Chiefs
Association.
“DUI checkpoints are exclusively
about safety,” the association’s pres-
ident, David L. Maggard, Jr., said in
an e-mail.
Allen said some cities do treat the
checkpoints as a way to raise rev-
enue, but his priority is the effect on
drivers. A 2005 federal court case
prohibits officers from confiscating
vehicles if they can be moved to a
safe place or picked up by a licensed
driver, such as a relative.
Some cities don’t abide by the
legal precedent, so AB1389 seeks to
write that into law to avoid uncer-
tainty.
Allen’s bill also would codify
another court ruling, this one in
California. Decided in 1987, the
state Supreme Court case requires
officers to conduct their checkpoints
on roads that already have a high
rate of DUI arrests or accidents, and
then give advance notice of the loca-
tion.
Some advocates say that instead
of adhering to the law, cities choose
streets in front of churches, discount
stores and other areas with large
immigrant populations.
The state Office of Traffic Safety
has looked into some of those claims
and found that the locations chosen
did not violate the 1987 ruling.
“I don’t have any evidence of that
at all,” director Chris Murphy said.
Lawmakers who voted against
Allen’s bill in committee, all
Republicans, said it ties the hands of
law enforcement.
“I was a volunteer firefighter for 29
years, and I saw a lot of carnage on
the road because of drunk drivers,”
said Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries of
Lake Elsinore. “This weakens our
ability to catch drunk drivers.”
The legislation will be considered
by the Assembly during the next two
weeks, which is when each chamber
must act on its own bills. Hundreds
of other bills also are up for consid-
eration, either in committee or on
the floor before the June 3 deadline.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee will take up dozens of
bills Monday. Among them:
• Patients at state mental hospitals
would be screened for violent ten-
dencies and their security risk under
one of several bills responding to
recent public safety problems. SB60
by Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa
Rosa, would require that violence-
prone patients be held in special
units at the hospitals, or sent to pris-
ons or jails if no other secure hous-
ing options are available. Patients
who commit serious assaults also
would be transferred out of the state
hospitals.
• Smuggling tobacco, money or
cell phones into state mental hospi-
tals would be a misdemeanor under
a bill by Sen. Sam Blakeslee, R-San
Luis Obispo. SB796 responds to
complaints that contraband within
the hospitals can lead to extortion
and assaults among patients and
staff.
• Juveniles sentenced to life with-
out the possibility of parole could
get a second chance under SB9, by
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco.
His bill would let courts review the
life sentences after 10 years. Judges
could reduce them to 25 years-to-
life under the bill, which victims’
rights groups oppose. About 275
California inmates are serving life
terms for crimes committed before
they were 18.

L.A. gets tough on banks over foreclosure blight

By Christina Hoag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A dead dog
lies among the knee-high weeds, a
sign to Guillermo Elenes that the
burned out, boarded up house is
being used as a dump. Inside, soiled
diapers, fast-food trash and the
strewn beer and vodka bottles indi-
cate squatters have been living
there.
The dumping ground-crash pad
serves as a squalid symbol of how
the foreclosure crisis is riddling
communities with blight because no
one wants to shoulder the responsi-
bility of maintaining foreclosed
homes.
“There’s one on every block,”
said Elenes, a community organizer
with the Alliance of Californians for
Community Empowerment in
Watts, a low-income South Los
Angeles neighborhood pockmarked
with foreclosed homes. “All we
want is for the banks to step up and
be good citizens.”
Communities across the nation
have made little progress in getting
banks to maintain foreclosed prop-
erties, and as the ongoing crisis
matures and bank-owned homes fall
into advanced stages of disrepair,
cities and residents are getting des-
perate. In a keenly watched move
this month, Los Angeles forged a
new strategy — it sued one of the
world’s major financial institutions,
Deutsche Bank, to force it to take
care of 166 properties, both vacant
and renter-occupied, charging the
blue-chip German giant has turned
into the city’s largest slumlord.
“The buck stops with the owner
of record. We’re saying, ‘You are an
owner like any other owner,”’ said
Julia Figueira-McDonough, deputy
city attorney.
Not according to Deutsche or
other banks. They say they aren’t
really the owners, despite the fact
that their name appears on the prop-
erty title. They also say they are not
responsible for maintenance.
Representatives of Deutsche, as
well as U.S. Bank, BNY Mellon and
HSBC — three other major lenders
that Los Angeles is investigating with
an eye to suing, all said that loan ser-
vicers are responsible for property
upkeep, as well as tasks such as send-
ing default notices, modifying loans,
selling homes, and collecting rent
and mortgage payments.

Floral Design Committee, oversaw
the surprise celebration, which she
described as personal for her.
Hasenstab suffered a severe injury
in 2003 forcing her to find something
new to do with her time.
“I had always had a strong interest,
but little formal training in floral
design, but wasn’t sure I would be
able to physically do it. I enrolled in
Anne’s program and was very
upfront with her about my possible
limitations. She was wonderful and I
credit my successful certification to
her constant encouragement,” she
said.
Hasenstab’s experience is not
unique. Others discussed sharing
life-changing moments like their
weddings with Patrick. Or, how
Patrick’s stories and guidance gave
them inspiration in their day-to-day
lives.
Patrick was destined to work with
plants. The daughter of a well-known
horticulturalist, Patrick always loved
plants but never the gardening part.
Born in Yorkshire, England April 4,
1938, she recalled working with
wildflowers as early as 2 years old.
Being a horticulturalist, her father
appreciated keeping flowers and
plants planted for all to enjoy. Patrick
was known to sneak in the garden to
snap the stems of what she liked.
School was never her priority. She
flirted with the idea of theater and,
with her father’s help, even trained to
sing. But the idea of not getting a
weekly wage kept her from follow-
ing that path. Instead, she studied
with Constance Spry — basically the
equivalent of Martha Stewart but
years earlier — and stayed on to lec-
ture there.
One day, she saw a man in the
office, applying for school. A friend
commented on the man’s looks and
Patrick in jest said she’d marry him.
Robt ended up in Patrick’s classes.
The two stayed in touch and ulti-
mately did get married. It was the
marriage that prompted Patrick to
make the move across the pond to
Carmel where she and Robt opened
their own shop. Interestingly, the two
who have spent their lives dedicated
to flowers had none around as they
said “I do” at the local courthouse
during afternoon tea time.
Patrick recalled the judge stopping
mid-ceremony.
“‘Don’t you two own a flower
shop,’” she recalled him asking.
“‘Where did you put the flowers?’”
Patrick laughed at the memory.
She and her husband got married qui-
etly since her parents were still in
England.
During Patrick’s career with flow-
ers, she has worked gala events at
Covent Garden Opera House, royal
engagements like the weddings of
princes Margaret, Alexander and
Anne, as well as the famous
Christmas trees at the Westminster
Abbey.
A meeting with a woman from
Filoli who was interested in starting
classes got the Woodside program
started. Patrick agreed to take the
lead. Her husband said it wouldn’t be
more than 1 8 months of getting up
quite early in Carmel to make the
drive. Fifteen years later, she reminds
Robt of that statement when she gets
up in the wee hours of the morning.
It’s the people that keep her getting
up before dawn.
“I love teaching. There’s nothing
better in the world,” she said, adding
that it is wonderful watching some-
one who knows nothing leave with
confidence and a new skill.

es at Filoli visit www.filoli.org.

they coped with the split personality of the
living and the dead. Pat Hatfield was elected
president with Mary Brodzin as vice presi-
dent. The thick skin and hard-driving attitude
of these two and the rest of the original group
immediately produced results. City Hall was
used for the first organizational meetings and
the enthusiasm rubbed off onto the rest of the
town with great results. After a short period of
time, a rented trailer was put it on the parking
lot of City Hall. They now had space to dis-
play the many artifacts and photos they
acquired from the public.
The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad
(later the Southern Pacific RR) ran tracks
a station stop — which they named School
Station. That original station still stood in the
area and it was offered to the association.
Plans were immediately made to acquire it for
their museum. It was moved across from City
Hall on Mission Road until a suitable piece of
land could be obtained to put it on. The big
break in acquiring land came in the late 1990s
when the Abbey Land and Improvement Co.,
which established the Mt. Olivet Memorial
Park in 1896, donated the land and buildings
at 1500 Hillside Blvd. to be used for a muse-
um and recreation purposes. This was perfect.
The land gave the association much needed
room to display the train station and eventual-
ly a freight shed, train tracks and blacksmith
shop it acquired. The museum was to be
housed in the former Mt. Olivet Cemetery
office and site where the electric trolley that
serviced the cemetery stopped. The building
was completely restored and a dedication for

Aggressive Cremation Group:

Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…
Using visual tricks “Smart Cremation”
has been printing materials which are
specific to certain targeted Seniors such as
using flower envelopes mailed to women
and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,
etc., all meant to be subliminally enticing.
Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.
There are too many particulars about
“Smart Cremation” to list here, but on the
internet you can read the entire report for
yourself along with comments on legal
troubles from concerned consumers at:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/funeral-
services/smart-cremation-jerr/smart-
cremation-jerry-norman-e2e86.htm
I have to emphasize that if you are
looking into cremation or funeral matters
please please do your homework and call
your local Funeral Home, compare their
services and ask questions. Go to a Funeral
Director who is well known in the
community. Please don’t become a “target”
and allow these out of state mailings to lure
you in with misleading messages. They will
send sales people to your home who will
then be hard to get rid of without your
signature on a contract.
To conclude, here are all my best wishes
to you, your family and loved ones.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

that his administration was veering
in a pro-Palestinian direction, plac-

Instead, the mercurial leader

Militants storm Pakistani navy base
By Adil Jawad
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KARACHI, Pakistan — Islamist militants
stormed a naval base in the Pakistani city of
Karachi late Sunday, destroying a U.S.-sup-
plied surveillance aircraft, firing rockets and
battling commandos sent to subdue them in
one of the most brazen attacks in years, offi-
cials said.
At least four navy personnel were killed and
nine wounded in fighting at the Naval Station
Mehran that was going on more than four
hours after the strike began, said navy
spokesman Irfan ul Haq. He did not know how
many militants had been killed or wounded.
Between 10 and 15 attackers entered the
high-security facility before splitting up into
smaller groups, setting off explosions and hid-
ing in the sprawling facility, he said.
“We are receiving fire from different direc-
tions,” said another spokesman, Salman Ali.
The coordinated strike rocked the country’s
largest city just under three weeks after the
death of Osama bin Laden in an American
raid on the northwestern garrison city of
Abbottabad, an event al-Qaida allied extrem-
ists here have vowed to avenge.
The unilateral American raid triggered a
strong backlash against Washington, which is
trying to support Pakistan in its fight against
militants, as well as rare domestic criticism
against the armed forces for failing to detect
or prevent the operation.
The fact that militants were able to enter
one of the country’s largest military bases is
another embarrassing blow to the army and
will raise questions over whether the attackers
had inside information. That they targeted a
U.S. supplied aircraft draws attention to
American aid to the military, something gen-
erals here do not talk about, fearing criticism
from the county’s fiercely anti-American pop-
ulation.

No housing at saltworks site
Editor,
After reading the May 18 issue of

IPOs emerge from drought
By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Success breeds fol-
lowers. So will LinkedIn’s blockbuster
IPO lure scores of private companies to
the stock market?
“One company does not make a trend,
but it can certainly help,” says Mark
Heesen, president of the National
Venture Capital Association, the ven-
ture-capital community’s trade group.
LinkedIn Corp. jumped 109 percent
on its first day of trading Thursday.
Financial news channels tracked the
company’s soaring stock as it lifted off,
turning its backers into millionaires and
maybe more on paper. A dazzling debut
like that, Heesen says, is bound to
encourage eager entrepreneurs and the
investors who back them to follow
LinkedIn’s lead.
The networking web site raised $352
million from investors, and then more than
doubled from its $45 opening price. The
stock slipped 1 percent Friday to $93.09.
LinkedIn is the biggest example of a
trend that’s already under way but has
escaped much notice until now. The
market for initial public offerings has
finally emerged from a long drought.
Car-sharing service Zipcar Inc., hospital
chain HCA Holdings and others have
raised $24 billion through initial public
offerings so far this year, according to
data provider Dealogic. That’s more
than triple the amount during the same
period a year ago.
Kathleen Smith, a principal at the IPO
advisory firm Renaissance Capital, says
that if companies keep going public at
their current pace, more than 200 com-
panies would raise $50 billion this year.
It would easily be the best year for IPOs
since the Internet bubble popped.
“2011 could be the best year since
2000,” Smith says.
One reason for the rush of companies
wanting to go public: They are joining a
two-year rally. The typical newly listed
company lost half its value in 2008, using
Renaissance Capital’s IPO index as a
gauge. The index, which tracks returns
on companies listed in the previous two
years, jumped 20 percent last year and is
up 3.4 percent so far this year.
“In the long run, the market only works
if these stocks trade up,” Smith says.
Strength in the IPO market can start a
virtuous cycle, Heesen says. Venture
capital firms hoping for a LinkedIn-
sized payday are encouraged to back
more entrepreneurs. Investment banks
are more willing to line up investors and
take companies public. And after going
public, companies are likely to use their
cash to hire more workers.
The financial crisis upended all mar-
kets in the fall of 2008. But the market
for IPOs remained bleak longer than
others. Just two companies went public
in the first three months of 2009.
“Those were the Death Valley days,”
Smith says.
Now, some 165 companies have filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to open their companies up
to public investors, the largest lineup since
2000. The list includes Dunkin’ Donuts,
Spirit Airlines and Yandex, a Russian
internet search company. Both Spirit and
Yandex are set to debut this week.
LinkedIn’s ascent on Thursday natu-
rally brought comparisons with the tech
bubble and IPOs from companies like
Netscape, Amazon.com and Pets.com.
Consider LinkedIn’s valuation. At a
market value of $8.8 billion, the compa-
ny is already worth 18 times its project-
ed sales this year.

Prepaid cards attract money launderers

By Frank Bajak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia — Forget bulk
cash. Heavy and hard to hide, it’s simply
not the most convenient cross-border con-
veyance for a 21st-century money laun-
derer.
A safer and increasingly attractive alter-
native for today’s criminal is electronic
cash loaded on what are called stored-
value or prepaid cards. Getting them
doesn’t require a bank account, and many
types can be used anonymously.
U.S. crimefighters consider the cards a
burgeoning threat that regulators haven’t
adequately addressed.
In the past year, said John Tobon, a sen-
ior U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agent, the cards have
become the preferred means of paying
couriers who transport illicit drugs across
the U.S.
No one knows how big a role the cards
play in moving the more than $20 billion
in drug earnings that U.S. authorities esti-
mate crosses from the U.S. to Mexico
annually. Yet while anyone crossing that
border with $10,000 or more in cash must
declare it, prepaid cards are legally
exempt.
“Law enforcement loses lives all over
the world trying to keep (major criminals)
unbanked, and these prepaid cards are
offering them a great alternative to sneak
into our financial system,” said Tobon.
It was bank and wire-transfer records
that enabled law enforcement to identify
the 9/11 hijackers and their overseas cells.
“Had the 9/11 terrorists used prepaid
(stored-value) cards to cover their expens-
es, none of these financial footprints
would have been available,” a U.S.
Treasury Department report observed.
Visually, the cards are barely distin-
guishable from credit or debit cards and
the most versatile let users reload them
remotely without having to reveal their
identity, using cash, moneygrams, PayPal
and other online payment services.
Some cards can process tens of thou-
sands of dollars a month. Just load them
up in Connecticut or Texas with, say, the
proceeds of cocaine sales and collect the
cash in local currency from an ATM in
Medellin, Colombia or elsewhere in Latin
America.

Duration for jobless

benefits shortened
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Some of the states that have drained

their unemployment insurance funds are cutting the number
of weeks that a laid-off worker can count on those benefits.
Legislators are trying to limit tax increases for businesses to
replenish the pool and are hoping the federal government
keeps stepping in when the economy slumps.
Michigan, Missouri and Arkansas recently reduced the
maximum number of weeks that the jobless can get state
unemployment benefits. Florida is on the verge of doing so.
Unemployment in those states ranges from 7.8 percent in
Arkansas to 11.1 percent in Florida.
The benefit cuts come as legislatures deal with the damage
that the recession inflicted on state unemployment insurance
programs. The sharp increase in the number of people who
lost their jobs drained the reservoir of money dedicated to
paying out benefits.
About 30 states borrowed more than $44 billion from the
federal government to continue payments to laid-off workers.
Many states hastened the insolvency of their funds by keep-
ing balances at historically low levels going into the down-
turn.
The burden of replenishing the funds and paying off the
loans will fall primarily on businesses through higher taxes,
but the benefit cuts are an effort to limit the tax increases.
States usually provide up to 26 weeks of benefits to laid-off
workers. Michigan and Missouri have cut that to a maximum
20 weeks. Arkansas went to 25.
Florida is considering a more complex change that would
link the duration of benefits to the strength of the economy.
The cap would range from 23 weeks during periods of dou-
ble-digit unemployment to as low as 12 weeks during periods
of extremely low unemployment. The Florida Legislature
approved the changes, but the governor hasn’t signed the bill.

Hillsdale muscles up to beat Panthers

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Having already seen Hillsdale
three times in the regular season,
and all three times being shutout,
the Burlingame softball team knew
that if they were going to have a
shot at beating Jordan Richwood
and the Knights in the Central Coast
Section playoffs, they’d have to
come out with all guns blazing.
And they did just that, scoring a
run in the top of the first inning
when Nicki Lunghi wildly and
excitingly raced around the bases,
scoring all the way from first on a
bunt by Dana Lenardon to give the
Panthers the early 1-0 lead.
But unfortunately for the
Panthers, that run seemed to make
the Knights angry. And you don’t
want to make Richwood and
Hillsdale angry.
The Knights hulked up, hitting a
pair of home runs and scoring nine
unanswered runs to beat their
Peninsula Athletic League rivals 9-1
in their CCS Division II quarterfinal
matchup. Richwood went the dis-
tance, striking out 13 while going 3-
for-4 at the plate.
“Normally we don’t make many
errors,” said Hillsdale first baseman
Courtney Tyler, whose errant throw
to third led to Burlingame’s run.
“But when we do, we don’t let it get
to us because that’s never a good
idea.”
The Panthers’ early run awoke
Tyler and the Hillsdale offense. The
Knights outhit Burlingame 12-1 the
rest of the way. Tyler had two of
those hits, including a soaring fly
ball that went for an inside-the-park
home run in the game’s latter
stages.
“We discussed before that Jordan
has been carrying this team so well
pitching-wise,” Tyler said, “and that
we just need to pick her up on
offense because she can’t do every-
thing on her own.”
Richwood did spark the Hillsdale
offense early on. In helping her own
cause, the senior singled into right
field in the bottom of the first to
drive in Tyler and Fonseca. She then
went to second on the throw to put
herself in scoring position for her
battery mate, Kristin Petrini. A cou-
ple of pitches later, the catcher mus-
cled up and belted a ball into the left
centerfield gap - the ball kept rolling
and Petrini kept motoring around
the bases for a home run to give the
Knights the 4-1 advantage.

Giants complete sweep of A’s
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Emmanuel Burriss
singled home the winning run in the 11th
inning and the San Francisco Giants complet-
ed a three-game sweep of the cross-bay rival
Oakland Athletics with a 5-4 victory Sunday.
Burriss’ line drive off reliever Brian Fuentes
(1-6) scored speedy Darren Ford from second.
Ford just beat right fielder Ryan Sweeney’s
throw to the plate, sending the Giants running
out of the dugout to celebrate their fifth
straight victory and seventh walk-off win this
season.
Pinch-hitter Nate Schierholtz hit a tying,
two-run homer in the eighth off Grant Balfour
over the right-field wall and just short of
splashing in McCovey Cove. The rally spoiled
another stellar outing by A’s starter Gio
Gonzalez and sent Oakland tumbling to its
fifth straight loss and ninth overall at AT&T
Park.
Sergio Romo (2-0) pitched two scoreless
innings for the win.
The Giants stifled their neighbors across the
bay with solid pitching in the first two games,
with ace Tim Lincecum throwing a three-hit-
ter Saturday after Ryan Vogelsong allowed
only one unearned run Friday. When Oakland
finally found a way to score in the finale, it
simply wasn’t enough.
It was that kind of weekend for the visitors.
Ford started things for the Giants in the 11th

Henrik Sedin helped set up the three goals
in a span of 1:55 as the Canucks needed only
37 seconds on the three 5-on-3 situations to
become the first team in NHL history to score
three goals with a two-man advantage in the
playoffs. He added another assist in the third
period to set a franchise record for assists in
a game, increasing his league-leading total to
19 points this postseason.
“When you give Henrik that much open
time, he’s going to find a way to make plays,”
teammate Alexandre Burrows said. “We have

Capuchino offense awakens late in softball tourney

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
According to Capuchino ace
Michele Pilster, all season long her
Mustang softball team has been a
squad of late-risers.
“Our team seems to come alive in
the sixth inning,” she said. “I don't
know why, I wish they would come
alive in the first, but it drags out and
in the sixth inning it just explodes.”
All joking aside, the cool thing
for Pilster and the Mustangs is that
those late offensive spurts have
translated into victories for
Capuchino in 2011. And Saturday
was just another example of this as
they used a three-run sixth to put
distance between themselves and
Christopher High school of Gilroy
and come away with a 5-1 victory in
their Central Coast Section Division
III matchup.
For the majority of the Central
Coast Section playoff contest the
teams were neck-and-neck, separat-
ed by only a run. But back-to-back
triples in the sixth, and a stellar per-
formance by Pilster proved to be the
difference.
“We just started connecting,” said
Capuchino catcher Jamie Navarro
of her team's three-run spurt. “We
just want to keep focused and keep
moving on in the tournament.”
If Pilster keeps pitching the way
she did Saturday, the Mustangs have
a really good chance of doing just
that. In seven innings of work, the
senior allowed only one run on four
hits. The one Christopher run
crossed the plate in the third inning
on a triple off the bat of Mariza
Rodriquez, who drove the ball on a
sinking line drive to right field. As
the Capuchino right fielder charged
to try and make the catch, the ball
snuck under her glove and kept
rolling. Aly Olvera raced around
from first to score and Rodriquez
was waved all the way around, but
was thrown out at the plate.

of thing,” Petrini said when asked about her
sudden burst of strength. “I’ve never really hit
a ball with that kind of power. It was great. It
felt great. I was very excited. I just had the
right angle on it and hit it the way I wanted
it.”
Hillsdale’s response in the bottom of the
first inning was the difference in the game.
“The big hit crushed us,” said Burlingame
head coach Brian Firenze. “We needed to
come out of that first inning 1-0, keep them at
bay.” Spotting Richwood a three-run cushion
is never a good idea. In addition, Burlingame
would load the bases in the bottom of the sec-
ond against the Hillsdale ace, but would fail to
score.
“We had our opportunities early against her
and against Jordan, if you don’t take those
opportunities or take advantage of them, she’s
going to make you pay,” Firenze said. “And
she did. She got stronger as the game went.
Maybe we had her a little rattled, as much as

Burriss capped the latest Giants rally.
The script was the same almost from the
start.
Freddy Sanchez doubled in the first down
the left-field line, and Andres Torres hus-
tled from first to beat the relay throw at the
plate to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead.
The Giants had a bit of a scare when
Posey took a foul tip from Gonzalez off his
mask in the second, bringing manager
Bruce Bochy and a team trainer out of the
dugout to check on the catcher. Posey was
holding the right side of his face and ear
while grimacing, but he stayed behind the
plate.
Posey extended his hitting streak to 11
games with a two-out single in the third.
He scored two batters later when Cody
Ross grounded to third baseman Andy
LaRoche, whose high throw pulled Daric
Barton off first base and put San Francisco
ahead 2-0.
The offensively challenged A’s were held
silent until Josh Willingham sparked the team
with a solo shot to left off Sanchez in the
sixth, his seventh home run of the season.
Sanchez left after six innings, allowing five
hits and striking out five.

she’s shut us out three games in a row. But I
think the first inning really decided the game,
when they got their four.”
Richwood cruised the rest of the way,
allowing one more hit in the fourth off the bat
of Megan Ailand, a two-out single. Hillsdale
on the contrary, wasn’t done scoring.
In the bottom of the third, they’d add three
more runs. A leadoff walk to Fonseca started
it off. She’d come in to score two batters later
when Richwood singled to right. Runs two
and three of that inning were fueled by a pair
of Panther errors.
“I think of it is the energy from the team
and the kind of excitement we have in the
dugout,” Petrini said about her team’s offen-
sive prowess. “We’re all on the fence, yelling
and cheering for each other. It really helps us
get pumped up.”
Hillsdale would add two more on Tyler’s
homerun - a towering fly ball that was headed
to Oak Avenue in Redwood City. The sopho-
more scored standing up.
“Oh God, I was so pumped that at-bat,”
Tyler said, “and the first pitch I was looking
for something to drive and she threw that
knuckle - totally caught me off guard. That
pumped me up even more for that next pitch
and it was the pitch I was looking for and I
just drove it.”
Coco Crisp had an RBI double and
Barton followed with a run-scoring single
against Jeremy Affeldt in the seventh, giv-
ing Oakland a 3-2 lead. Pinch-hitter Hideki
Matsui drove in Mark Ellis with a sacrifice
fly off Ramon Ramirez in the eighth to
make it 4-2.
That appeared to be enough behind
Oakland’s strong pitching staff. Gonzalez left
after 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight and
allowing two runs on eight hits.
Of course, nothing has been coming easy
for the A’s in San Francisco.
After Miguel Tejada started the bottom of
the eighth with a single, Schierholtz homered
on a full count with one out to tie the game at
4, setting the stage for the latest Giants come-
back.
NOTES: LHP Josh Outman will be
called up from Triple-A Sacramento to
start for Oakland on Monday at the Los
Angeles Angels, manager Bob Geren said.

The Cougar run tied the game at one after
Arianna Wassmar's RBI single in the first

The Mustangs' response to the tying run
came courtesy of Navarro, who busted out the
whopping stick in the bottom of third.
Navarro crushed an Olvera offering into cen-
terfield and touched them all to make it 2-1 in
favor of Capuchino.
“I was just really focused on not dropping
(my shoulder),” Navarro said of her at-bat.
“It's something I've been doing all season. I
just saw my pitch and did everything right. I
was really happy.”
The game remained close as Olvera was
able to settle down in the circle and Pilster

Burrows added an even-strength goal off a
nifty pass from Henrik Sedin in the third period
as the Canucks moved to the brink of reaching
the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since
1994. Daniel Sedin added three assists, and
Roberto Luongo made 33 saves.
Vancouver had just 13 shots all game, scoring
on four of their seven shots in the final two peri-
ods. The Sharks had no answer for the Sedins,
who have combined for 15 points in four games
this series after having just seven points and a
minus-10 rating in six games against Nashville
the previous round.
“We’re both believers in if you work hard,
you do the right thing, it’s going to turn
around,” Henrik said. “You got to hang in there
and hope the other guys are playing great.
They’ve been doing that. So that’s what we
need. We need different guys to step up each
series. That’s why we’re here.”
Andrew Desjardins and Ryane Clowe had
third-period goals for the Sharks, who failed to
capitalize on five early power-play chances and
now must win Game 5 in Vancouver on
Tuesday night to extend the series.
“They kept giving us chances and putting
themselves in a hole,” Clowe said. “When we
get PPs, that’s where we need to capitalize. We
just weren’t sharp enough. That’s not physical.
That’s mental.”

es later the Capuchino captain would turn a
pretty 1-6-3 double play to get her team out of
the inning.
The Mustangs threatened in the fifth, but in
typical Capuchino fashion, they didn't break
through until the sixth. Pilster led off with a
single, but was forced out at second a batter
later. After a strikeout, Capuchino was the
beneficiary of an error at second that kept the
inning alive. It was after that mistake that
Jessica Shelton came up smoked a triple to
score a pair of runs. Then, Navarro duplicated
the feat with a triple of her own to drive in
Shelton. With Pilster in complete command,
the back-to-back three-baggers were nails one

“Michelle's always done really well under
pressure,” Navarro said, “in big games, small

this game was no different with nearly 15 of the
first 33 minutes being spent with a team on the
power play.
That’s where the Canucks dominated in a
turnabout from their 4-3 loss in Game 3. They
allowed three power-play goals in that game
and failed to convert during 1:55 of 5-on-3 time
in the second period.
The Canucks solved both of those issues
despite being without injured defensemen
Christian Ehrhoff and Aaron Rome. First, they
killed off five straight minor penalties to open
the game as they spent 10:00 of the first 24:06
short-handed.
The Sharks, who converted their first five
power-play chances this series, struggled to set
up in the offensive zone with the man advan-
tage Sunday. When they did get into the
Vancouver end, Luongo made eight saves on
the five power plays and gave San Jose few
chances at rebounds.
“The passing was off. The receiving was off.
The timing was off,” McLellan said. “There
wasn’t much rhythm.”
The Canucks’ frustration at the early spate of
penalties turned midway through the second
period when the Sharks were called for four in
a span of 2:46 to lead to the scoring outburst.
With Dany Heatley already in the box for
high-sticking, Torrey Mitchell got called for
hooking to give Vancouver its first two-man
advantage. The Canucks took just 10 seconds to
capitalize with Kesler beating Antti Niemi with
a one-timer from the circle off a pass from Salo.
Just 1:23 later, the Sharks got caught with too
many men on the ice, giving Vancouver its sec-
ond two-man advantage. This time, it took the
Canucks 16 seconds to score when Salo took a
pass from Henrik Sedin and blasted it past
Niemi from just inside the blue line.

Berghammer carries HMB to CCS semis

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SANTA CLARA — Half Moon
Bay (23-6) advanced to the semifi-
nals of the Central Coast Section
Division III baseball playoffs
Saturday with a 7-2 win over
Soquel (17-9-1). And it was the kid
who stole the show.
Cougars freshman Brett
Berghammer was 3 for 4 with five
RBIs, to lead No. 5-seed Half Moon
Bay past No. 4-seed Soquel at
Washington Park in Santa Clara.
Half Moon Bay advances to tomor-
row’s semifinal game at Municipal
Park in San Jose to face No. 8-seed
Santa Cruz (14-14). First pitch is
scheduled for 7 p.m.
Berghammer had the big hit amid
a second-inning rally. With the
bases loaded and two out, the lefty
scorched a two-out double up the
right-center gap to clear the bases.
The freshman would add a RBI
double in the fifth and a RBI single
in the sixth.
Soquel manager Robert Zuniga
confirmed it was one of the best sin-
gle-game performances by a fresh-
man he has seen in his three career
post-season appearances.
“He’s going to be someone we
have deal with, unfortunately, the

Sophomore Reese Hammerstrom
earned the first RBI of the game,
when he was hit by a pitch in the

Bacich. Hammerstrom was fine, and
later scored on Berghammer’s
bases-clearing double.
Soquel got on the board in the
fourth on a one-out RBI single by
Fabiano Hale to plate A.J. Waltrip.
But the Cougars answered right
back in the fifth. Dominic Fama led
off the frame with a bunt single,
then scored on Berghammer’s RBI
double – his 10th of the year. In the
bottom of the inning, Soquel scored
an unearned run on an RBI single
by Scott Akrop to plate Ben Pavlik.
In the sixth, Half Moon Bay got
the run back by virtue of a two-out
rally. Hammerstrom singled to left,
and advanced to second on a walk to
Fama. Berghammer then lashed a
single to right-center to plate
Hammerstrom, capping the day’s
scoring.
“You wouldn’t expect that out of
a freshman, but he really stepped
up,” Terraszas said.
At 15, Berghammer started the
year as the youngest member of
Half Moon Bay’s varsity squad.
With two midseason call-ups, he is
currently the second youngest. He
has batted in the leadoff spot all
year, even though he started his var-
sity career with a horrific slump. In
HMB’s first seven games,
Berghammer grinded out a 1-for-24
stretch. He didn’t get his first hit
until the sixth game of the year in a
win over Sacred Heart Prep.
Small in stature but stern-wiry
strong, Berghammer quickly took
off just before conference play start-
ed, extending a 12-game hitting
streak. Even before the turnaround,
however, Berghammer proved to be
a headstrong talent.
“I was remembering I’m still
young … and that I’d turn it around
at some point,” said Berghammer of
his mindset through his early-sea-
son slump.
His teammates have quickly
adopted a saying in regards to
games such as Saturday’s, when
Berghammer goes off. Although,
the M.C. Hammer reference certain-
ly predates the 15-year-old fresh-
man.
“Sometimes they’ll say it’s
‘Hammer time,’” Berghammer said.
Half Moon Bay is now on a colli-
sion course with Menlo School in
the CCS DIII bracket. Menlo tri-
umphed in its quarterfinal game
Saturday with a 10-0 mercy-rule
win over Sacred Heart Cathedral.
No. 3-seed Menlo is set to face No.
2-seed Carmel in tomorrow’s semi-
final at Municipal Stadium at 4 p.m.
The twin-bill – which includes Half
Moon Bay vs. Santa Cruz in the
nightcap – can be enjoyed for a sin-

Chris Horner wraps up Tour of California title

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THOUSAND OAKS — Chris
Horner won the Tour of California
with a solid performance in the final
stage on Sunday, holding off
RadioShack teammate Levi
Leipheimer by 38 seconds.
The 39-year-old Horner was the
oldest rider to complete the race,
crossing the finish line with both
hands thrust into the air near the
back of the huge peloton.
Horner finished in 23 hours, 46
minutes and 41 seconds. The 16-
year pro racing veteran led the
overall standings on each of the
final five days, comfortably win-
ning North America’s most promi-
nent cycling race.
“It’s fantastic,” Horner said. “I’ve
done this race every year they’ve
had it. I’ve helped Levi win many
times ... and I’m just glad I got the
chance to do it this time.”
Horner rode most of the final two
stages alongside Leipheimer, the
three-time race champion who eagerly
helped Horner to victory after Horner
moved into the lead Wednesday.
“He’s definitely come into his
own over the past couple of years,”
Leipheimer said of Horner. “In the
past 16 years, he’s figured out a few
things. ... It’s bittersweet, of course.
If you win three times, all the
expectations are to win, but to have
the team take the title is great. Of
course I’d want to win myself, but
Chris was the better rider. He was
stronger, and he deserved it.”
Leipheimer won the race from
2007-09. Last year’s champion,
Australia’s Michael Rogers, didn’t
ride this year because of an illness.
Garmin-Cervelo’s Tom Danielson
finished 2:45 behind Horner in third
place, and teammate Christian
Vande Velde was fourth.

Report: Armstrong encouraged doping

By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lance Armstrong’s former team-
mate, Tyler Hamilton, says
Armstrong and other team leaders
encouraged, promoted and took part
in a doping program in an effort to
win the Tour de France in 1999 and
beyond, according to a report aired
Sunday night on “60 Minutes.”
Hamilton said he saw Armstrong
take performance-enhancing drugs,
EPO and testosterone and also saw
him receive a banned blood transfu-
sion in 2000.
“I feel bad that I had to go here
and do this,” Hamilton said in his
first public admission of doping
throughout his career. “But I think
at end of the day, like I said, long-
term, the sport’s going to be better
for it.”
In the interview, portions of
which were aired Thursday and

Armstrong supplied each other with

testosterone to prepare for races.
Armstrong posted a statement in
support of Hincapie on the website:
“We are confident that the state-
ments attributed to Hincapie are
inaccurate and that the reports of his
testimony are unreliable.”
Hincapie released a statement
Friday, through his lawyer, saying
he did not speak with “60 Minutes”
and didn’t know where the show got
its information.
Hamilton, meanwhile, described
a systematic doping program run by
Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team. He
said he offered the same testimony
to the Los Angeles-based grand
jury.
Federal prosecutors are investi-
gating what essentially would have
been a drug distribution network
that was formed to keep
Armstrong’s teams running at the
head of the pack.
The “60 Minutes” revelations,
combined with recent requests from
federal authorities for evidence in
France, have fed a sense of growing
trouble for the world’s most famous
cyclist, an international star and a
cancer survivor who has raised mil-
lions of dollars to fight the disease.
In his interview, Hamilton said he
saw Armstrong use the blood-boost-
ing drug EPO during the 1999 Tour
de France and in preparation for the
2000 and 2001 tours.
Armstrong won the world’s most-
revered race each year from 1999-
2005.
But the case federal authorities
are trying to compile won’t be
decided solely on whether
Armstrong doped. It has more to do
with a doping program allegedly
run by the cyclist and his team — a
program that could lead to fraud and
conspiracy charges.

Andretti team closes Indy weekend with wild finish

By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Michael
Andretti’s team finally overcame its
May curse.
The rain held off Sunday to give
Danica Patrick a second chance, and
James Jakes waved off his qualify-
ing attempt, giving Marco Andretti
one more shot to make the
Indianapolis 500.
Patrick and Marco Andretti took
advantage of the good fortune and
qualified for the centennial anniver-
sary race at the Brickyard.
Patrick posted a four-lap average
of 224.861 mph after it looked like
she might not even get to qualify on
Bump Day. Andretti delivered an
even more clutch performance in
the final run of the day, going
224.628 to bump his way back onto
the 33-car grid.
“It was either going to be into the
wall or into the show,” the 24-year-
old son of the team owner said. “It
was a bummer that we were in this
position.”
Perhaps it should have been

When the team returned to the her first qualifying attempt of the
track Sunday, the team’s two day.
Just ahead of Patrick was
Canada’s Paul Tracy, who produced
the fastest average of the day at
224.939 with rain falling on his
final lap. That brought out another
yellow flag, and for the next 13 min-
utes, Patrick sat stoically in her
cockpit underneath an umbrella,
alternating between glares and clos-
ing her eyes.
When she finally climbed out of
the cockpit, Patrick took a golf cart
to the garage and rode her bicycle
around Gasoline Alley.
“I know exactly how she feels,”
said Tracy, who failed to make last
year’s starting field. “I’m sure she’s
stressed. The whole team is
stressed.”
But the predicted rainstorm,
which called for wind gusts to 60
mph and possible hail, stayed south
of the track, and at 4:45 p.m.,
Patrick finally made it on and put
down two laps over 225 mph.
“I feel like getting a drink, that’s
how I feel right now,” she said,
drawing laughter. “I am mad
because I really thought we had a
fast car. I’m relieved because I’m
in the race. I’m frustrated with
some of the process that happened
and the things that happened. I’m
somewhere between angry and
happy.”
For Michael Andretti, the emo-
tional roller-coaster continued.
Conway tried twice unsuccessful-
ly to bump his team owner’s son out
of the lineup.
Marco Andretti hung on to the
No. 33 spot as eight drivers took
shots at bumping him, and when
England’s Alex Lloyd finally did,
only nine minutes were left in qual-
ifying.
Jakes, who had been consistently
running more than 1 mph slower
than the 33rd car, pulled out of pit
lane and ran two laps before waving
off.
That gave Marco one last crack.
He ran four consecutive laps over
224 mph, knocking Hunter-Reay
out of the lineup on a brutal week-
end for the Andrettis.
“I knew it was going to come to
that,” Michael Andretti said. “It was
probably my worst day as an
owner.”

Bosh leads Heat past Bulls with 34 points
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — For the second time in
three games, Chris Bosh had a mon-
ster night against the Chicago Bulls.
Unlike the first, this one paid off
with a win.
And the Miami Heat are two vic-
tories from their first trip to the NBA
finals since 2006.
Bosh scored 34 points, LeBron
James finished with 22 points and 10
assists, and the Heat remained
unbeaten at home in the postseason
by beating the Bulls 96-85 in Game
3 of the Eastern Conference finals
on Sunday night.
Dwyane Wade added 17 points
and nine rebounds for Miami, which
is now 7-0 at home and handed the
team that finished with the NBA’s
best record its first losing streak
since Feb. 5-7. Udonis Haslem
sealed it with a jumper with 1:29
left, putting Miami up 93-84.
Bosh scored 30 points in Game 1
against Chicago, when Miami was
embarrassed 103-82. The Heat
haven’t lost since, and only trailed
for 3:22 in Game 3.
“I just wanted to be aggressive
and just have
some kind of
imprint on this
series,” said
Bosh, who’s in
the conference
finals for the first
time. “I had an
aggressive
Chris Bosh Game 1, Game 2
was so-so, but
we still won. But out here on the
home floor I just wanted to be
aggressive and it turned out to be a
good game.”
A really good game: It was five
points shy of his postseason career
best.
Carlos Boozer finished with 26
points and 17 rebounds for Chicago,
which had won the first four meet-
ings of the season with Miami.
Derrick Rose finished with 20
points, but struggled from the field
again, making only 8 of his 19 shots.
Taj Gibson had 11 off the Chicago
bench.
The Bulls held James and Wade to
a combined 12-for-30 showing from
the floor. Problem was, Bosh fin-
ished 13 for 18.
“It’s definitely frustrating,” Rose
said. “Our will wasn’t there tonight.
SPORTS
They still found a way to win.”
Boozer made a pair of free throws
with 6:39 left to get Chicago within
78-74, the outcome clearly hanging
in the balance. Minutes later, that
was no longer the case — not after
Miami scored nine straight to build
more than enough of a cushion.
Bosh and Boozer exchanged
words and looks more than once on
Sunday night, but Bosh ended up
with the upper hand.
“All I care about is winning
games,” Bosh said. “And we do
whatever it takes to get that.”
How good was Miami’s defense
down that stretch? Bulls center
Joakim Noah tried a 5-footer with
4:25 left. He shot it over the back-
board.
Game 4 is Tuesday night in
Miami.
Predictably, given the scene and
the stakes, there was an abundance
of energy from tip-off.
James, Wade and Rose all tum-
bled into courtside photographers
while trying to make plays in the
first five minutes, and Haslem was
greeted by a huge roar when he
entered — his first home appearance
since Nov. 19 — later in the opening
period.
Eventually, the emotional swings
calmed down, and offense picked up
in the second quarter.
Bosh was 5 for 5 in the second
quarter on his way to a game-high
16 points by halftime. Boozer only
missed one of his five shots in the
second period, after going 0 for 5 to
begin the game.
As for the past two NBA MVPs,
everything was a battle.
Rose finished the first half with no
assists, just the 11th time in his
career that’s happened. He did have
11 points by intermission, when
Miami led 43-40 — meaning it held
Chicago to 69 points in a 48-minute
span dating to the midpoint of Game
2.
And James, who was the MVP in
2009 and 2010 before Rose took the
trophy this season, was only 3 for 8
in the first three quarters. He did
have 10 assists by the end of the
third, though Miami let what was its
biggest lead slip a bit in the final
moments of that period.
Miami pushed the lead to nine late
in the third on a jumper by Haslem,
then saw most of that edge disappear
quickly. Deng made a 3-pointer to
get Chicago within 68-65, then stole
Mike Miller’s inbounds pass with
THE DAILY JOURNAL
5.2 seconds left and got a good look
at a jumper that rimmed out with a
second left.
“That’s obviously not the way we
want to finish the quarter,” Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra said.
The fourth quarter, that was differ-
ent. And against the NBA’s top
defensive team all season, Miami
scored 53 points after halftime.
NOTES: Strange sequence to
open the game: Noah knocked the
opening tip-off out of bounds, then
after the Heat had one inbound
pass blown dead by — of all things
— referee interference, Noah
picked up a foul six seconds into
the game on the second inbounds
attempt. ... Florida Marlins owner
Jeffrey Loria, slugger Mike
Stanton and starters Chris Volstad
and Ricky Nolasco were seated
courtside. Other celebrity sight-
ings: Julius Peppers and Serena
Williams. ... Heat C Jamaal
Magloire turned 33 on Saturday,
and was the fourth Miami player to
have a birthday in a nine-day span,
joining Mike Bibby (33), Eddie

L et me take a minute (that’s all I
have here!) to run out one possi-
ble and not unlikely scenario if
your dog bites another person or dog. Your
dog somehow gets off your property and
bites a person, and that person seeks med-
ical attention. Everyone knows the dog’s
owner because of his identification tag or
because neighbors have seen you out
walking together. When the hospital faxes
their bite report to the organization
responsible for animal control
(PHS/SPCA, in this county) we contact
the owner and, due to the severity of the
bite, decide it makes most sense to quar-
antine the owner’s animal at the shelter.
The owner, ultimately, pays the county for
this sheltering period. Upon further inves-
tigation, we also determine that the nature
of the bite meets the county ordinance’s
definition of dangerous or vicious animal.
The latter is defined by “causing multiple
punctures, disfigurement, multiple stitches
or muscle tears.” If an animal is declared
dangerous, an owner can keep their ani-
mal, with restrictions, and the pay the
county an annual permit fee, or pay a
county hearing fee to contest the declara-
tion. They may also need to pay a much
higher insurance premium to keep a dan-
gerous animal. If their animal is declared
vicious due to the extent of the injuries,
their pet can be euthanized. They can
appeal, of course, but this usually requires
hiring an attorney. That means more of
their money and more time the animal
spends at the shelter. This kind of scenario
is why our organization and why humane
societies and animal control agencies, in
general, urge people to keep pets on leash
at all times. If you leave your pet in some-
one else’s care, make sure you fully trust
them. If your dog ever exhibits signs of
aggression — especially unprovoked
aggression — don’t ignore them. If
addressed early on (through classes or pri-
vate consultations), behaviors can be
changed. If unchecked, behaviors usually
don’t go away and are only reinforced.

projects water demand on its own based
on census data and historical usage in
both drought and wet weather condi-
tions.
While San Mateo expects to see the
city’s population grow by about 16 per-
cent by 2020, CalWater projects only an
increase of 3 percent.
CalWater supplies water locally to
South San Francisco, parts of San
Mateo, parts of San Carlos and
Atherton, Portola Valley, Woodside,
parts of Menlo Park and the unincorpo-
rated communities in southern San
Mateo County.

same boundaries as the city,” said

tled in California at 4. The younger of
two girls, Sachs was interested in musi-
cal theater early in life. She enjoyed act-
ing and singing but often let nerves get
the best of her during auditions, which
resulted in smaller roles.
Sachs attended Borel Elementary
School before going to Bowditch
Middle School. It was in eighth grade
that Sachs realized she wanted to attend
Middle College — a program which
allows students to take high school and
college classes concurrently on a college
campus. She didn’t love the traditional
school environment and she welcomed a
new challenge. Unfortunately, students
must be a junior to enroll.
Sachs spent her freshman and sopho-
more years at San Mateo High School. It
was there that she enrolled in a photog-
raphy class and was first exposed to the
art.
Transferring to Middle College
allowed Sachs to continue to explore
photography while also taking classes
not normally offered at her high school
like yoga, psychology and astronomy. It
also gave her a new challenge. Just
before starting at the new campus, Sachs
was diagnosed with a learning disability,
WORLD/LOCAL/CALENDAR
become France’s next president?
From the moment that Strauss-Kahn’s
arrest for the alleged sexual assault of a
chambermaid flashed around the world,
doubts emerged in France. A week later,
with evidence still under wraps and the
accused and the accuser silent, specula-
tion abounds.
A poll Thursday suggested that a major-
ity of French, 57 percent, think Strauss-
Kahn was the victim of a plot. In a coun-
try where low blows pepper the political
Thomas Salzano, CalWater’s resource
planning supervisor in San Mateo.
For Moran, the difference in boundary
maps, projections and target conserva-
tion goals between CalWater and the
city could come back to haunt water
users down the road if water supplies
ever get low, especially considering
CalWater does not have access to Hetch
Hetchy water.
Under the Raker Act, the San
Francisco Public Utilities Commission
is prohibited from selling Hetch Hetchy
Tuolumne River water to private compa-
nies. SFPUC sells local watershed water
to CalWater.
In future years, there will be less
water available from the local water-
sheds because the SFPUC will be releas-
ing an additional 3.9 million gallons per
day from the Calaveras Reservoir and
3.5 million gallons per day from Crystal
Springs for steelhead protection, as
required by various agencies, said Peter
Drekmeier, Bay Area program director
for the Tuolumne River Trust.
Drekmeier attended CalWater’s mas-
ter plan meeting Wednesday along with
Moran and Lisa Grote, San Mateo’s
community development director. They
were three of only four attendees of the
meeting, which was publicly noticed.
The city has 15 days to respond to
CalWater’s Urban Water Management
Plan and Conservation Master Plan
before it is submitted to SFPUC for
approval.
An item of concern in CalWater’s
master plan is estimated water demand
during drought conditions.
CalWater’s long-term water supply
plan for the area confirms that a sizable
demand to supply gap exists or can be
anticipated during drought conditions,
possibly in the 20 percent range.
The water supply plan indicates that
“most viable alternatives to address this
supply gap are through the development
of either desalination and or water trans-
fers.”

What will you miss most about high

society’s image of success and happiness to
be successful and happy
which gave her the ability to know with
what she was dealing and how to over-
culture, where people think politicians will
do almost anything to keep their perks and
where President Nicolas Sarkozy’s
approval ratings are sinking relentlessly, a
plot against the increasingly powerful IMF
chief seems plausible to many.
“The trap, you cannot not think of it,”
Cooperation Minister Henri de
Raincourt conceded on Radio France
International a day after the arrest. “But
we must let justice follow its course
without any prior assumptions.”
CalWater plans to study the feasibility
of constructing desalination plants to
convert brackish water to potable water
and currently supplies the city of
Torrance with water from a desalination
plant, Salzano said.
But Moran said a desalination plant
would be a tough sell on the Peninsula.
“There would be concern about envi-
ronmental impacts,” Moran said.
CalWater would like to back away
from purchasing water from the SFPUC,
Salzano said.
But with all the high-density develop-
ment in the works for San Mateo,
including Bay Meadows Phase II,
Station Park Green and Polo Court,
assurances were made by CalWater dur-
ing environmental review that it could
provide enough water for the city’s new
residents.
In drought conditions, CalWater could
purchase water from elsewhere if the
SFPUC limits its supply.
“I voted for housing in confidence that
water would be there but now I’m not so
sure,” Moran said. “CalWater needs to
partner with the city better.”
Moran is hoping to establish rebate
programs for conservation in partner-
ship with CalWater.
CalWater already offers its customers
rebates for installing more-efficient
appliances such as toilets or shower
heads as it does every year.
“We don’t have a funding stream to
push for conservation,” Moran said.
The city has until June 15 to comment
on CalWater’s Urban Water
Management Plan & Conservation
Master Plan.
Locally, CalWater serves about
236,000 customers and in the state, it
supplies water to about 1.7 million peo-
ple.

College life took some adjustment.
Sachs needed to became better at budg-
eting time, for example.
When it came time to pick a college,
Sachs only wanted to apply to East
Coast schools. During a tour with her
mom, she fell in love with Corcoran
College in Washington, D.C. and decid-
ed to enroll in the fine arts program for
photography. The school offered her the
presidential scholarship based on her
academics and portfolio.
“It fascinates me. I always like to see
how people act. With cameras, you can
capture that,” she said.
Sachs knows what she wants to
accomplish when taking a photo; it’s
mastering the camera that has been her
challenge.
What she’ll do with a photography
degree is still unknown. Sachs has an
interest in photojournalism or simply
photography.

SEASON
Continued from page 3
Turner networks, who launched an impromptu monologue
when a power surge knocked out the video at the TBS and
TNT upfront. He even tried to lead the audience in rounds of
“Row, Row, Row Your Boat.”
“Our (advertising) pricing is not going to change because
of this,” Koonin said. “However, I think our expenses are
going to go down, if you know what I mean.”
Get this man a talk show!
Blame it on the vampires, but the supernatural will be big
on TV next season. NBC’s creepy “Grimm” is inspired by
Grimms’ fairy tales. ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” features
Snow White and Prince Charming’s missing daughter. The
surgeon in CBS’ “A Gifted Man” is haunted by the spirit of
his ex-wife. Fox’s “Terra Nova” imagines a family from the
future sent back to prehistoric times. A man who survived an
auto accident in NBC’s “Awake” finds parallel realities —
one where his wife is dead, the other where his son is dead.
In ABC’s super-creepy “The River,” a family investigates the
mysterious disappearance of their wildlife expert patriarch.
Hard enough to keep the real world straight.
CBS’s two new dramas featuring characters with super-
powers: a woman who has almost total recall of everything
that’s happened in her life and a man able to predict the
future fates of people through their Social Security numbers.
In true CBS fashion, these powers are put to use to solve
gruesome crimes.
AMC has to be flattered that both ABC and NBC have
series clearly inspired by “Mad Men” that are set in the early
1960s. Both ABC’s “Pan Am,” featuring the defunct airline’s
stewardesses and pilots, and NBC’s “The Playboy Club,”
featuring the bunnies, appear to have sleek, stylish casts and
costumes. TBD: whether the stories can match up.
Nothing is more fun than networks taking shots at one
another, since denigrating the competition helps your own
business. But CBS’s corporate honcho Leslie Moonves
seemed genuinely miffed hearing that both Meyer and
Kimmel joked about CBS’s older audience, considered less
valuable by advertisers. (”CBS is No. 1,” Kimmel said.
“That’s mainly because their viewers can’t remember where
they put the remote.”)
Moonves noted that CBS has done better than ABC and
NBC in the youthful 18-to-49-year-old demographic.
“We’re a little tired of those old people jokes,” he said.
“They don’t work anymore. And I might venture to say, we
have hotter women on CBS than on any other network.”

Schwarzenegger revamps his image
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — For 35 years,
Arnold Schwarzenegger has been care-
fully crafting his public image, from
Austrian bodybuilder and international
action star to family man and Republican
politician.
Now, with his split from Maria Shriver
and revelations that he fathered a child
with a member of his housekeeping staff,
where does Schwarzenegger go from
here? Can he have a future either in pol-
itics or film, and how does he once again
reshape his image, especially in the eyes
of female fans?
“His biggest problem as an action star
has nothing to do with being an adulter-
er. It has to do with being 63 years old
and physically wrecked — unless they’re
going to make ‘Terminator 6: The
Golden Years,”’ said David Leibowitz, a
Phoenix-based public relations and crisis
communications consultant. “The love
child is almost the least of his worries.”
For decades, though, Schwarzenegger
was the safest of box-office bets, with his
bulging, muscular physique and his
quippy, punny one-liners. The
“Terminator” movies alone have made
more than $1 billion worldwide — most
of that outside the United States.
“For me, he has never been a serious
action star, but rather a sort of parody of
himself,” said Ali Arikan, chief film crit-
ic for the Turkish website Dipnot.tv and
Roger Ebert contributor. “He had that
wink in his eye even in earlier, more
somber stuff like ‘Conan the Barbarian.’
In fact, when he tried to be more serious,
as with 1999’s turgid ‘End of Days,’ it
was risible: nothing more hilarious than
seeing Arnie ‘act!’ So, he’s basically
been this goofy clown, shrewd and with
great intelligence about his career, but a
clown nonetheless.”
Shrewd indeed.
Around the movie
work, this “clown”
began adding some
serious yet varied
cred to the script,
including roles as
President Ronald
Reagan’s fitness
guru, a campaigner
Arnold
Schwarzenegger for George W. Bush,
and a founding
backer with Sylvester Stallone, Bruce
Willis and Demi Moore in the Planet
Hollywood restaurant chain.
Then, as Schwarzenegger’s movie
glory days began waning, he revamped
his image again and became the improb-
able governor of California in a 2003
recall election.
Having a Kennedy heiress by his side
certainly didn’t hurt, despite the couple’s
disparate political leanings and even
through claims that Schwarzenegger had
groped other women. As former San
Francisco Mayor Willie Brown once put
it, “Maria has been much more of a ben-
efit to Arnold than Arnold has been to
Maria.”
Schwarzenegger often said being gov-
ernor was the best job in the world, one
he would have enjoyed holding longer
had there not been term limits.
While in office, his highly choreo-
graphed, stage-managed appearances
often seemed more like Hollywood pro-
ductions than political forums. With
Gov. Schwarzenegger, opportunities for
image enhancement were seldom
missed.
There was even talk about repealing
the citizenship law to allow
Schwarzenegger to run for president.
But his standing with voters was rocky
throughout his governorship as the polit-
ical neophyte sought to figure out where
he stood on a host of divisive issues.
Monday • May 23, 2011 27
Schwarzenegger’s approval ratings
plummeted during the 2005 special elec-
tion in which he placed several conserva-
tive measures on the ballot, all of which
voters resoundingly rejected. With
Shriver’s help, he apologized and rein-
vented himself once more as a political
moderate, winning easy re-election in
2006.
During his second term,
Schwarzenegger made bi-partisan
friendships in the state Legislature and
after signing legislation to restrict
California’s greenhouse gas emissions,
he became a leader in the green energy
cause.
But he was elected on a promise to fix
California’s chronic budget woes, and
despite his best efforts, he soon gave in
to the gimmickry and maneuvering that
have been hallmarks of budget deal-
making in Sacramento. He was seen as
largely failing to accomplish his man-
date, and his approval rating fell to 25
percent as he left office in 2010.
Lately, he’s been jet-setting with the
likes of “Terminator” director James
Cameron and announcing he’s ready to
re-launch his acting career. But follow-
ing his separation from Shriver after 25
years of marriage and the damaging
baby revelations, he says he’s putting
those plans on hold.
As the owner of the Carolina Cinemas
chain of movie theaters, Bill Banowsky
sees Schwarzenegger making a come-
back eventually — but only as an action
star.
“I’d feel great about it if he’s playing a
‘Terminator’ role, if he’s playing a role
in a big action movie. I think he’s going
to do very well,” said Banowsky, who
also founded the independent distributor
Magnolia Pictures. “If he comes out with
a romantic comedy as a way to get back
in, that would be really challenging for
him.”
