Cal Water to study Bay drilling

Proposal to test brackish groundwater for desalinization requires CPUC approval
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With water providers across the

state seeking to diversify their
resource portfolios as reservoirs
continue to lower in the fourth
year of drought, one utility is setting its sights on possibly making San Mateo home to the

Peninsulas first desalinization

plant.
The California Water Service
Company is seeking the states
approval to investigate the efficacy of drilling for brackish groundwater and possibly, even dipping
in to the Bays floor. Should officials find a fruitful aquifer in San
Mateo, Cal Water will consider

constructing a treatment plant

capable of converting it into
drinkable water.
Its not like youre drawing Bay
water in, youre drawing water
from an aquifer that has undergone
some degree of degradation and we
can run that through various types
of treatment reverse osmosis,
membrane filters, whatever and

clean that water up. But we need to

find out if theres water there and
how much water is there and whats
the water quality level. Because we
cant go any further with designing a plant or how big its going
to be; theres so many questions
that need to be answered. You have
to do preliminary research first,
and thats what were proposing,

said Tom Salzano, water resources

planning supervisor for Cal Water.
The ultimate goal would be to add
to our local supply of water so
were not as reliant on imported
supplies.

Communication breakthrough
Man with autism finds voice through poetry and painting
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Ryan Tracy doesnt talk much.

Actually he doesnt talk at all.
At the age of 2, the seemingly
normal boy stopped talking and
started to spin wheels on toys,
rocking and losing eye contact
with the people around him.
Today, these behaviors would
point almost immediately to
autism.
That wasnt the case in 1977,
however.
It wasnt until Tracy was 7 that
he was officially diagnosed with
autism.

Although through the years he

learned to care for himself in many
ways and lived an active life by
riding horses, swimming and
rollerblading, he still was not able
to fully express himself despite
having some sign language skills.
That changed in nearly a
moment though the day he picked
up a paint brush and put it to canvas. He was nearly 40 years old
when landscape artist Barbara
Bridges introduced the family to
mneme therapy.
Its a process that stimulates
sustained attentive focus, which

With county officials postponing a commitment to provide residential substance abuse treatment
centers with enhanced funding
until September, several nonprofits are left having to close facilities and turn people back to the
streets.
For the first time in more than
two decades, the county has postponed issuing new contracts to
providers such as Our Common
Ground, which must consider selling its Redwood City center to
make ends meet, said Executive
Director Orville Roache.

Similar services like San

Mateos Project 90 is slated to
close one of its residences and the
South San Francisco-based Latino
Commission has closed two facilities that could have provided
treatment to 72 people each year.
Officials who oversee these
treatment centers say theyre
already strapped for funding, particularly as many thought the
Affordable Care Act would kick in
and pick up part of the tab
although Medi-Cal will never pay
for the costly residential portion,
it would contribute to treatment.

Yes, we all know Pluto is no longer
an official planet, merely a dwarf, but
it still enjoyed full planet status when
New Horizons rocketed from Cape
Canaveral, Florida, on Jan. 19, 2006.
Plutos demotion came just seven
months later, a sore subject still for
many.

leg with Pluto to finish the relay,
Stern says.
The sneak peeks of Pluto in recent
weeks are getting juicier and juicier,
says Johns Hopkins project scientist
Hal Weaver. The science team is just
drooling over these pictures.
The Hubble Space Telescope previously captured the best pictures of
Pluto. If the pixelated blobs of pictures had been of Earth, though, not
even the continents would have been
visible.
The New Horizons team is turning a
point of light into a planet, Stern
says.
An image released last week shows a
copper-colored Pluto bearing, a large,
bright spot in the shape of a heart.
Scientists expect image resolution
to improve dramatically by Tuesday.
The 7, 767-mile span at closest
approach is about the distance
between Seattle and Sydney.
New Horizons, weighing less than
1, 000 pounds including fuel, has
seven instruments that will be going

alking about floods in the midst of a

drought may seem odd, but San
Mateo County Supervisor Dave Pine
was not all wet when he issued a warning in
the wake of a study that claimed the area
would suffer more than $1 billion in damages in a long overdue mega storm.
Even though we are in a severe drought,
it is feasible we could have record rain next
year, Pine said after the Bay Area Economic
Institute study was released in April.
To find out what a savage storm could do it
is only necessary to go back to 1955 when
the state suffered what the California
Disaster Office called the greatest disaster
of its kind. A year later, the office issued a
book called The Big Flood California
1955. To make things worse, a less powerful storm followed in January.
The north coast section of the state suffered the most with bridges down and homes
ripped from foundations. The entire
Klamath River went over its banks.
Humboldt County suffered $6. 8 million
damage to homes alone. The disaster office
estimated that the storm caused $200 million in losses to California. A million dollars then would be worth $8 million today.
Do the math.
Most dams held but the unprecedented
flood of 1955 was too much for some of
them, said the disaster office report. The
failed structures included levees on the
Feather River. When the storm was over,
nearly a million acres of farm land was under
water. There were 67 deaths.
The Bay Area suffered little by comparison. Twenty families had to be evacuated in
Pescadero where the only communications
was by amateur radio operators. A sheriffs
car got through to bring out an expectant
mother who gave birth on the way to the
hospital. Other cities where evacuations
took place included South San Francisco.
People in areas in the south county near San
Francisquito Creek were forced out of their
homes. Winds flattened hangars at the San
Carlos Airport and damaged several planes.
The winds were so powerful the Golden Gate
Bridge swayed 5 inches.

FOSTER CITY

Santa Cruz hard hit in 1955 flood.

Lessons were learned. Among other
things, the storm resulted in the creation of
the California Department of Water
Resources. The storm became a yardstick for
future fears. After one close call years later,
a San Mateo County newspaper said the latest storm was powerful but far less intense
than the downpour of Dec. 22-25, 1955
which flooded a thousand area residents out
of their homes. One successful bond issue
was, as the paper put it, floated on fresh
memories of the 1955 flood.
Other storms and flooding followed. In
1986, a storm lasted nine days and killed 13
people.
One in 1997 killed nine and flooded several regions, including Yosemite Valley,
which was inundated for the first time since
1862, the year of the worst storm to hit
California in recorded history. The 1862
storm lasted for 43 days and forced the state
into bankruptcy. State workers werent paid
for more than a year.
Some accounts say the floods of 1862
destroyed a fourth of the California economy. So many cattle drowned farming
replaced ranching as the foundation of the
economy.
Only 3,214 people lived in San Mateo
County at the time but the devastation was
wide, according to reports in the San Mateo
County Gazette, which, nevertheless, found
a bright spot.
The great storm damaged almost every
city and town in the state but did not bother
Redwood City more than an April shower,
claimed the paper, crediting Redwood Citys

adobe streets, which got muddy quickly but

dried out rapidly.
The flood showed that adobe, though it
softens on the surface quickly, is the best
soil in the country for long and heavy
rains. And this was rendered before the
citys motto was Climate Best by
Government Test.

Couple planting Good Seeds

By Ally Holterman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

A local clothing line is singlehandedly tackling both fashion

and environmentalism all without a storefront.
Created by high school sweethearts April and Eddie Manio, who
attended Aragon High School and
Burlingame High school, respectively, Good Seeds Apparel is an
eco-friendly childrens clothing
line. The company, whose
founders reside in Foster City, has
generated more than $20,000 in

primarily
through
Instagram.
The idea behind Good Seeds
Apparel began after the birth of
the Manios rst child, when
April, who attended San Francisco
State University with Eddie and
majored in interior design,
noticed a market for stylish apparel with a sustainable background.
Ive always been a creative person, Manio said. Fashion has
always been a passion of mine.
After we had our rst child, I felt
like there was a void [in childrens
apparel], in that there wasnt
clothing that was both organic
and looked cool.
When Manio gave birth to a second child, she decided to become a
full-time stay-at-home mom. It

idea for an organic childrens
apparel line into reality.
Eddie just really gave me the
extra push and said, You know
what, its now or never. she said.
Hes been a huge support.
Manio was also motivated by a
lifelong love for the environment
and sustainability. All of Good
Seeds Apparels T-shirts and totes
are hand-screen printed with
water-based ink.
Most of the shirts are made with
eco-friendly materials, and the
packaging is similarly made up of
biodegradable or recycled content.
Ive always been a positive
person, and after having children,
you want to pass those values to
your
kids.
Manio
said.
Ultimately, this is the earth that
my kids will inherit, and their
kids, so I just felt compelled to do
something positive and try to
encourage people to make a
change.
The company also has a Buy a
Tee, Plant a Tree program, made
possible through their partnership with Trees for the Future, an
organization that plants trees in
rural communities in the developing world.
Were just a brand thats trying
to be different in that we want to
create cute, stylish clothes for
kids, but theres a message behind

it, Maniosaid. We want to

spread positivity through our
designs, and show that we respect
our earth and pay mind to the way
were doing things and running
our business.
In addition to their partnership
with Trees for the Future, Good
Seeds Apparel also gives away
seed bombs with every purchase,
which Manio described as a fun
way to give something back to the
customer.
The company, which currently
has over 20, 000 followers on
Instagram, will expand to a popup store at the Westeld Valley
Fair Mall for the month of July.
Its exciting, because [the popup store] will give us a great way
to gure out if we can be bigger
than what we are now. Manio
said. Eventually, we want to
move away from T-shirts and offer
other garments as well, so we can
promote more positivity and create even more fun, stylish clothes
for kids.
Manio also expressed a desire to
eventually be able to independently source organic cotton and
ensure all materials are ethically
sourced in the United States.
Until that day, however, Manio
plans to continue to her mission
to plant Good Seeds and watch
the seeds grow into something

Counterfeiter gets green card

By Erika Kinetz
and Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANGHAI This could be the

story of an American dream. An
immigrant family builds a successful business and buys a fourbedroom house in a quiet neighborhood with good schools for
their young son. But not all is as it
seems on the steep, curving
streets of San Diegos Rancho
Penasquitos.
A 45-year-old Chinese woman,
Xu Ting, lives in a brown shingle
house with a weedy driveway. She
has been sued for counterfeiting
by eight luxury brands, including
Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and owes
Chanel Inc. $6.9 million in damages. None of this has stopped her
from becoming a legal permanent
resident of the United States and
achieving a comfortable suburban
life.
China is not the only country
with a counterfeiting problem.
Most fakes are made in China, but
they are sold in America.
Counterfeiting is not a priority on
par with drug smuggling or money
laundering, and is rarely prosecuted as a crime. The lack of legal
cooperation with China makes it
easy for counterfeiters to move

their money beyond the reach of
Western law enforcement and
hard to root out counterfeiting
kingpins. As long as counterfeiters can stay out of jail and hold on
to their profits and consumers
continue to buy the trade in
fakes will likely thrive.
Despite spending millions on
brand protection, companies
often end up playing whack-amole, shutting down producers
and distributors of fakes, only to
see them pop up again. Xu Ting
simply refused to show up in court
over the years. Instead, doing
graduate studies in statistics at San
Diego State University, helped her
family amass at least $890,000 in
bank accounts back in China, and
bought the $585, 000 Rancho
Penasquitos house with her husband, who has also been involved
in selling counterfeit luxury
goods, public records and court
cases in China and the U.S. show.

intellectual property lawyer at
Simone IP Services in Hong
Kong, who is not involved in litigation against Xu Ting. Probably
the only thing thats going to
stop her is when she passes away
probably on an island resort
somewhere or if she gets arrested.
In the web of lies that counterfeiters weave fake names, fake
addresses, fake Internet domain
registrations one thing is
always true: their bank account
information.
The need to get paid is the counterfeiters fatal flaw, and Xu Tings
bank accounts were the first crack
in her armor of misdirection.
Her legal troubles began in
2008, when a federal judge in
California ordered Xu Ting who
declined multiple requests for
comment for this story to pay
Chanel Inc. $6.9 million in damages for selling counterfeits
online. She still hasnt paid the
damages, according to Chanel
spokeswoman Kathrin Schurrer.
The essential point for Chanel
is really shutting down the counterfeiting operations, which we
did successfully, Schurrer wrote
in an email.
But after the lawsuit, Xu Tings

business continued to grow.

In 2009, a Florida judge ruled
against Xu Ting and shut down
seven websites she was accused of
helping run that sold fake Louis
Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Celine.
She did not show up in court.
That case didnt stop her either.
The
next
year,
Gucci,
Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta and
Yves Saint Laurent all brands
belonging to Frances Kering
group filed a lawsuit in New
York federal court against Xu Ting,
her future husband, her younger
brother, her mother and six others
who the companies said sold more
than $2 million worth of fake
handbags and wallets online to
U.S. customers. Gucci alleges that
the group shipped merchandise
from China to a house in San
Diego, where it was repackaged
and passed off as genuine.
Four days after the suit was filed,
Xu Ting married a Chinese man,
Xu Lijun, a civil engineer licensed
in California who is six years her
junior, according to her marriage
license issued in the San Diego
suburb of El Cajon.
Gucci subpoenaed banking
records. JP Morgan Chase handed
over account records with a wealth
of information about the couple:
addresses, dates of birth, drivers

license, Social Security and passport numbers and a student identification card.
In November 2010, Xu Lijun
reached a settlement with Gucci
the only defendant to do so. He
denied wrongdoing but agreed to
let Gucci keep $400,000 in counterfeiting proceeds seized from
accounts outside China. He also
agreed to pay a $7, 500 fine,
according to a copy of the judges
order.
Eric Siegle, a New York City
lawyer who represented Xu Lijun,
said he was a small-time
nobody, and that Guccis lawsuit,
like many others, failed to tackle
the real powers behind the operation.
The people they are arresting
or suing here in the United States
are low-level people, Siegle said.
If you can find where the money
is going, you can get to the heart
of the problem. Its like the drug
wars. Why are we arresting all
these kids on street corners?
But Gucci, which is seeking $12
million in damages, couldnt find
where the money was going
because Chinese banks, including
the state-run Bank of China,
refused to disclose transaction
details about the counterfeiters
accounts in China.

Measure threatens water tunnels plan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Signature gatherers paid by a wealthy Stockton-area

farmer and food processor have started
circulating an initiative to force large
public works projects to go before
voters for approval, and the measure is
expected to qualify for the November
2016 ballot.
Dean Cortopassis ballot measure
could threaten Gov. Jerry Browns $15
billion twin tunnel plan to send water
around the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta, the Sacramento Bee reported
Sunday.
Cortopassis ballot initiative would
require voter approval before the state
could issue revenue bonds for any project costing more than $2 billion. That
could make it harder to secure lucrative

public works contracts and, in the case

of the tunnels project, water deliveries.
Proponents of the Bay Delta
Conservation Plan, which calls for
building two underground tunnels 40
feet across and 30 miles long to send
water from the Sacramento River
around the Delta, are reacting with
alarm. The water currently irrigates 3
million acres of farmland in the
Central Valley and serves 25 million
people as far south as San Diego.
He has money, said Robin
Swanson, a consultant working with
Californians for Water Security, which
supports the tunnels project and holds
a significant stake in the outcome of
the ballot initiative. And he has his
own political agenda.
Brown has said the project is needed

to stabilize water deliveries relied upon

by millions of Californians and to

Cortopassi, who calls his measure
the No Blank Checks Initiative, was
a major donor to Republican Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger before splitting with the Republican Party over
Schwarzeneggers advocacy for a Delta
conveyance in 2008.
That year, he registered as an independent, bought full-page advertisements in The Sacramento Bee and The
Record of Stockton criticizing the
conveyance, and he ran ads on KCRATV in Sacramento.
Last year, Cortopassi once again
bought space in major newspapers
around the state, this time with a
broader complaint about government
spending.

South getting its first big wind farm

By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

On a vast tract of old North

Carolina farmland, crews are getting ready to build something the
South has never seen: a commercial-scale wind energy farm.
The $600 million project by
Spanish developer Iberdrola
Renewables LLC will put 102 turbines on 22,000 acres near the
coastal community of Elizabeth
City, with plans to add about 50
more. Once up and running, it
could generate about 204
megawatts, or enough electricity
to power about 60,000 homes.
It would be the first large
onshore wind farm in a region
with light, fluctuating winds that
has long been a dead zone for wind
power.
After a years-long regulatory
process that once looked to have
doomed the plan, Iberdrola
spokesman Paul Copleman told
the Associated Press that construc-

North Carolina will be home to the Souths first commercial-scale wind

energy farm
tion is to begin in about a month.
Right now, theres not a spark
of electricity generated from wind
in nine states across the Southeast
from Arkansas to Florida, according to data from the American
Wind Energy Association, an
industry trade group.
But taller towers and bigger tur-

bines are unlocking new potential

in the South, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy, and the
industry is already looking to
invest.
And with the electricity system
in the region undergoing a period
of change as coal plants are
phased out, some experts believe

Dismay in US over drug lords escape

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Reactions in the

United States to the escape from
Mexican prison of a reputed drug
lord ranged from disbelief to outrage, with some observers saying
it dramatically illustrated the need
for captured cartel kingpins to be
promptly extradited to the U.S.
A former administrator of the
Drug Enforcement Administration

said he was dismayed by Joaquin

El Chapo Guzmans weekend
escape apparently through a
mile-long tunnel from the
Altiplano prison, 55 miles west of
Mexico City.
It is a shock that the most dangerous cartel leader in the world
has escaped, Peter Bensinger said
Sunday. He ought to have been
housed in an American prison.
Washingtons official response

was diplomatic, as Attorney

General Loretta Lynch said in a
statement Sunday that the U.S.
shared Mexicos concern regarding the escape and stood by to
help in the manhunt.
But one Mexico expert said
American
officials
likely
expressed more frustration behind
the scenes.
Guzman will regain his title as
Public Enemy No. 1 in Chicago.

the door is open for renewables

like wind.
Federal energy researchers have
found stronger winds at higher elevations that can be tapped by new
towers and bigger rotor blades.
New federal maps of onshore wind
flows at higher elevations than
were previously available indicate
that this new technology significantly increases the areas that
wind can thrive, especially in the
Southeast.
If you go higher, the wind is
better, said Jose Zayas, director
of the Wind and Water Power
Technologies Office at the
Department of Energy. The question is how you get there responsibly and economically.
The average tower height now in
the U.S. is about 260 feet; the new
technology allows turbines to
mine air at 460 feet.
The project in North Carolina
was not viable just a decade ago,
company officials said. But the
new, larger turbines unlocked the

areas potential.
In the past this site barely
showed up on old (wind) maps. It
was a little brown smudge, said
Craig Poff, one of the developers,
referring to color-coded wind
resource maps. The larger-diameter rotors are really the gamechanger here.

Why is the 2016 GOP field so big?

By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Who yelled

everybody into the pool?
After all the candidate announcements, after all the speculation
about whod go first and whos yet
to jump in, one question remains
in this summer BEFORE the election year: Why are so many
Republicans running for president?
Surely, the soon-to-be-17
announced GOP candidates dont
all think they will become president.
But its easy for a politician to
get caught up in the hype and yell
cowabunga! in a year when
theres no incumbent seeking reelection and no Republican who
seems to have an inside track to
the nomination.
Plus, its easier than ever to
make a credible run for president,
thanks to the equalizing effects of

social media and digital fundraising, and with looser federal rules
in place on raising money.
The apt question for an ambitious Republican this year seems
to be: Well, why not?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
adds his name to the list on
Monday, with Ohio Gov. John
Kasich and former Virginia Gov.
Jim Gilmore to follow in coming
weeks, bringing the total by summers end to at least 17.
Every now and then you have
an election cycle that is defined by
what can be best described as metoo-ism, says Mo Elleithee,
executive
director
of
Georgetowns Institute of Politics
and Public Service and a onetime
spokesman for Hillary Rodham
Clintons 2008 presidential campaign.
With any number of theoretical
pathways to the GOP nomination,
second-tier candidates may well
have surveyed the field and said to

themselves, Why cant I burst

into that top tier? says Elleithee.
Everybody is sitting there with
their advisers, slicing and dicing
the electorate, and either finding a
potential path or deluding themselves into finding a potential
path.
Tony Fratto, a Washington consultant who worked for President
George W. Bush, says theres far
more than delusions motivating
candidates. Beyond the generally
easier mechanics of running for
office, he says, there are all sorts
of incentives to run that have
nothing to do with actually being
president.
You have the opportunity to
become a personality in a relatively short period of time, says
Fratto. You get on the national
stage, your name ID is elevated
and that can translate into writing
books, giving speeches and getting an opportunity to go on TV.
Not to mention a potential job as

vice president or in the Cabinet.

It worked for former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee, whos running again after parlaying his losing candidacy in the 2008 primaries into political celebrity, including TV and radio shows and book
deals.
The should-I-run equation is different on the Democratic side,
where Clinton is dominant, but
even there, four other notable candidates have joined the againstthe-odds race.
A l o o k at s o me o f the reas o ns s o many candi dates are
runni ng thi s y ear:
Some candidates run just in case.
If top-tier candidates suddenly falter, these challengers want to
make sure theyre positioned to
step right up.
These types genuinely think
things can fall apart for the top
candidates, says Princeton historian Julian Zelizer. He puts New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and

Kasich in that category.

In Christies case, says Zelizer,
I think part of him hopes that
people will see how great he is
according to him if an opening
emerges.
The election of a junior Illinois
senator with a funny name as president in 2008 has heartened candidates who might not otherwise
have thought of themselves as
ready to run.
What Barack Obama proved in
2008 is that you dont need all
that much experience, says
Fratto. You can take on a presumed front-runner, and you can
raise money and improve your
name ID very quickly. That possibility wasnt imaginable in the
past.
Obamas precedent has to hearten Marco Rubio from Florida and
Ted Cruz from Texas, both 44year-old freshman senators, and
52-year-old rookie Sen. Rand Paul
of Kentucky.

Pope speaks up for disenfranchised

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ASUNCION, Paraguay Pope

Francis reinforced his place as
spokesman for the worlds disenfranchised Sunday by visiting a
flood-prone slum to encourage its
landless and insisting the
Catholic Church be a place of welcome for all sick and sinners
especially.
Francis ended his South
American pilgrimage with a huge
Mass and words of hope and faith
for young and old. But the political, anti-capitalist message he left
behind may have a more lasting
punch.
On the final day, Francis sought
to offer a message of hope to the
residents of the Banado Norte
shantytown and to an estimated 1
million people gathered for his
farewell Mass on the same
swampy field where St. John Paul
II proclaimed Paraguays first
saint nearly 30 years ago.
How much pain can be soothed,
how much despair can be allayed
in a place where we feel at home!
Francis said.
Then he outlined his vision of

who do not think as we do, who do
not have faith or who have lost it.
Welcoming the persecuted, the

unemployed. Welcoming the different cultures, of which our Earth

is so richly blessed. Welcoming

The stage for the Mass was a

remarkable sight: A huge triptych
with the popes Jesuit insignia
over the central altar, flanked by
images of his namesake, St.
Francis of Assisi, on one side and
the founder of his Jesuit religious
order, St. Ignatius Loyola, on the
other. The entire structure was a
mosaic, an ode to the role Jesuit
missionaries had in Paraguay,
made out of 40,000 ears of corn,
200,000 coconuts, 1,000 squash
gourds and many, many dried
beans.
Artist Koki Ruiz told The
Associated Press earlier in the
week that the scene was an
homage to the ancient Guarani
aborigines who respected Mother
Earth.
Francis has emphasized care for
creation and its most oppressed
people during his tour of Ecuador,
Bolivia and Paraguay. He drew
cheers when he arrived at the start
of the day in the Banado Norte
shantytown on the banks of the
River Paraguay saying he couldnt
have left Paraguay without visiting, without being on your land.

Diplomats: Iran announcement planned Monday

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA Negotiators at the Iran

nuclear talks plan to announce
Monday that theyve reached a historic
deal capping nearly a decade of diplomacy that would curb the countrys
atomic program in return for sanctions
relief, two diplomats told The
Associated Press on Sunday.
The envoys said a provisional agreement may be reached even earlier by
late Sunday. But they cautioned that
final details of the pact were still being
worked out and a formal agreement
must still be reviewed by leaders in the
capitals of Iran and the six world pow-

ers at the talks.

Senior U. S. and Iranian officials
suggested, however, there was not
enough time to reach a provisional
deal by the end of Sunday.
All of the officials, who are at the
talks, demanded anonymity because
they werent authorized to discuss the
negotiations publicly.
We are working hard, but a deal
tonight is simply logistically impossible, the Iranian official said, noting
that the agreement will run roughly
100 pages.
The senior U.S. official declined to
speculate as to the timing of any agreement or announcement, saying major

issues remain to be resolved.

Despite the caution, the negotiators
appeared to be on the cusp of an agreement.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry,
who on Thursday had threatened to
walk away from the negotiations, said
Sunday that a few tough things
remain in the way but added were getting to some real decisions.
En route to Mass at Viennas gothic
St. Stephens Cathedral, Kerry said
twice he was hopeful after a very
good meeting Saturday with Iranian
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad
Zarif, who had Muslim services
Friday.

Belmont City Council got it right
Editor,
Finally, we have a City Council in
Belmont that governs on behalf of all
the citizens, not just the hyper-vocal
obstructionists who have hampered
rational growth and homeowner property rights for the past two decades.
Specically, the well-considered
and excellently crafted zoning ordinance modications passed by the
Council in May achieve two longdesired goals in our city: 1). Rational
exibility in the permit process for
homeowners who want to accommodate the needs of growing families
with small additions, and 2). Safetybased changes to the tree ordinance
that allows for removal of invasive
species such as eucalyptus trees that
contributed to the disastrous Oakland
Hills re.
Finally, the modied zoning measures that enable the facilitated construction of small accessory dwelling
units within city limits speaks directly to the need to increase the existing
housing stock to address the affordable housing crisis currently plaguing
our community.
We, the majority of the 15,061 registered voters in Belmont, chose
these dedicated public servants in the
last council election to do exactly
what they have done bring rational, 21st-century governance to the
city of Belmont and we should be
applauding their work to date!

Belmont referendum
Editor,
Kudos to Michael ONeil and his
coterie of volunteers. His July 6 guest
perspective Belmont at the
Crossroads is right on the mark.
Most residents assume that the elected representatives on the City
Council will promote policies which
aim to enhance the quality of living
in their city. There are often minor
disagreements and lively discussions
ensue to resolve them.
However, when the local council
works almost incognito to change
ordinances which will destroy eventually the quality of life in the city, the
residents have no other alternative
but to organize a committee of dedicated citizens who will work to overturn the ordinances in question. It is
hard, exhausting work.
The present Belmont City Council
passed two ordinances in May which
change dramatically the local zoning
guidelines and the heritage tree ordinance. Mr. ONeill presents the case
against these changes succinctly in
his piece.

asked, signed on to place the two

It is now up to the ve members of
the Belmont City Council to either

San Mateo County renters

Editor,
This letter is in response to the letter by the CEO of the San Mateo
County Association of Realtors,
Steve Blanton, Realtors respond in
the July 1, 2015, edition of the Daily
Journal. At our information and voter
registration tabling in Burlingame,
we have spoken with numerous owner
landlords who have told us they have
been advised by Realtors to raise
rents like everyone else or their properties will diminish in value.
Additionally, a couple of months
ago, SAMCAR drafted a template letter for owner/landlords and property
managers to send to the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors in
opposition to anything resembling
rent control, citing allegations from
a few tenants and groups outside of
San Mateo County. Almost every
renter in San Mateo County (including newer, higher earners) is in favor
of renter protections, including rent
stabilization. We also have spoken
with Realtors and landlords who agree
with us that it has to happen to stop
the massive displacement. San
Franciscos renters have their own
battles to ght. San Mateo County
renters and their allies are ghting
this one.

Toll lanes on Highway 101

Editor,
Now lets see. We are in one of the
most expensive areas of the United
States and we have money for the
high-speed rail train to nowhere. I
really believed that this train, to be
ready in 25 years or so, was going to
be the ultimate solution. I guess I was
wrong. We will be asked to pay for, in
addition to all the fees, taxes, excise
taxes, nes and whatever else they
can throw at us, a major rebuild of the
one and only trafc artery between
San Jose and San Francisco if you
consider Interstate 280 to be way out
in the boondocks.
We have added some lanes and
screwed up in reducing the actual
lanes available to the average motors
by increasing the carpool lanes from
one to two lanes. Now what? There is
not more space unless we build an
upper deck. If the government is
going to screw us some more for more
taxes and more tolls, lets do it right.
We need to get to change the fuel tax
to a tax per mile driven so everybody
pays their fair share. Remember that
phrase?Then we need to conscate all
the carbon taxes that Brown is stealing from companies to pay for his
habit of overspending and we need to
allocate that completely to rebuilding
the infrastructure. That is a few billion dollars per year right there. That
is just a bag of peanuts for the
Democrats in California. Now, how
much would we need to bribe the environmentalists to make this happen?
An arm and a leg I bet.

Whos in, whos

out for San Mateo
City Council

met with two talked-about candidates for the vacant seat

on the San Mateo City Council last week. One is denitely running. The other is not.
Cliff Robbins, just termed out from the citys Park and
Recreation Commission, was once considered a shoo-in for
City Council. He had the endorsement of several council and
many prominent community
members. But he did not
apply for the appointment
when Robert Ross suddenly
announced he was leaving.
Instead Rich Bonilla, longtime city and labor activist
and member of several city
commissions was unanimously selected. The selection of Bonilla was no surprise to Robbins and others.
But it was primarily timing which inuenced
Robbins decision. His
daughter is 10 and he is in a
private law practice in a
small rm. He is determined
to spend quality time with
her and his wife. His Mountain View rm keeps him busy.
Robbins said he couldnt give the 100 percent necessary to
be a good councilmember without taking time away from his
family and job. Now with a new opening because Jack
Matthews is termed out, it was expected Robbins could easily
win. But he has decided to postpone running until his daughter has less time for him.
***
Diane Papan, who also sought the appointment and didnt
get it, is denitely running. She is currently the president of
the Baywood Neighborhood Association; second vice president of San Mateo United Homeowners Association, and chair
of the Baywood Elementary School site council. She is also
in private practice but works out of her home or her former
family home in Millbrae, where sister Gina continues to live.
For many years, she worked in a large San Francisco law rm
specializing in public works litigation. Because of this history, she is very interested in improving the citys infrastructure, not a typical campaign topic, but an important one. And
she says she has the time and interest to participate in county
and regional boards, something San Mateo needs.
***
While Papan is running on her own terms and not as a
member of a dynasty, its hard to ignore that she comes from
a famous political family. Her father, the late Lou Papan, was
a longtime California assemblyman and Daly City councilman who, in his long career represented primarily north San
Mateo County but with redistricting his district later included
San Mateo. Her sister, Gina, is a former Millbrae councilwoman and mayor.
The Papans were and remain a closely knit family. They
were so close in part because of son Johns terminal disabling
illness. Lou would drive home from Sacramento every night
to be with his family and see John, who died in 1981 at age
21. The sisters helped care for their ailing brother and Diane
remembers tube feeding John when she was 17 years old, a
student at Capuchino high school and school president. The
family has set up a nonprot, Johns Closet, which provides
clothing and funds for children in need and a scholarship fund
for students in the San Mateo Union High School District.
Gina and Diane are always a presence at awards nights to give
scholarships in Johns memory.
***
Papan has picked up some important endorsements, including state Sen. Jerry Hill, Assemblyman Kevin Mullin and two
members of the San Mateo City Council, David Lim and Joe
Goethals. Mayor Maureen Freshet and Bonilla are running for
re-election. These endorsements are signicant for several
reasons. First, these public ofcials would not be endorsing
Papan unless they knew she had an excellent chance of winning. And there does not appear to be a Bernie Sanders or a
Jim Webb in the wings. Filing ends in the beginning of
August and anything is possible but unlikely. And Hills and
Mullins endorsement is most signicant because it closes
the door on any bad blood between major political factions in
the county.
***
Lou Papan supposedly used his clout in Sacramento to have
the late supervisor Mike Nevin redistricted out of his home in
a bid for the state Assembly, so Nevin could not run against
daughter Gina Papan. This so infuriated Nevin and his close
ally on the board, Jerry Hill, that they persuaded Gene Mullin
(Kevins father) to run for the seat. Mullin won election in
2002. Nevin then tried for an open state Senate seat. Leland
Yee also was in the race. At the last minute, Lou Papan entered
the fray. Nevin and Papan split the North County vote, where
Lou remained very popular, and they both lost to Yee in 2006.
This tit for tat is now ofcially over. Kevin Mullin and Diane
Papan are good friends. Thats good news.

Greece could be forced out of the euro

By Menelaos Hadjicostis
and Raf Casert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS Greek Prime

Minister Alexis Tsipras and skeptical European leaders negotiated
past a self-imposed deadline into
the early hours of Monday, with
talks stuck on how Greece would
guarantee austerity measures in
exchange for a rescue package to
prevent its banks from collapsing.
If the talks dont succeed, some
of Greeces eurozone partners
warned, the country could be temporarily forced out of the euro, the
European single currency that
Greece has been a part of since
2002. No country has ever left the
joint currency, which launched in
1999, and there is no mechanism
in place for one to do so.
It wasnt entirely clear what a
temporary exit would entail, but
the threat put intense pressure on
Tsipras to swallow politically
unpalatable austerity measures, as
his people overwhelmingly want
to stay in the eurozone.
The leaders are discussing
Greeces request for a three-year,

53.5 billion-euro ($59.5 billion)

financial package. But other leaders in Brussels say Greece needs
even more than that, and are
demanding tough austerity measures in exchange. It would be
Greeces third bailout in five
years.
Several officials, all of whom
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they werent authorized to
discuss the negotiations while
they were ongoing, said the terms
of the austerity package and the
timing of its implementation
remained serious obstacles.
One of them said the main difference centered on when the
European Central Bank could start
to increase its emergency liquidity
assistance to Greek banks. Greece
shut the teetering banks two
weeks ago and has limited the
amount people can withdraw from
their accounts. Without more liquidity from the ECB, the banks
cant reopen without collapsing.
Tsipras wants the ECB to help
the banks as early as Monday, the
official said, but creditors dont
want the ECB to act until the
Greek Parliament passes certain
austerity measures. Even if the

banks reopen, its possible that

they could run out of cash even for
cash-machine withdrawals this
week.
Another of the officials said
sticking points included a proposal for Greece to transfer billions of
euros worth of state assets to an
independent fund in Luxembourg
under European supervision. The
Greek government is loath to do
so.
The 19 leaders of the eurozone
countries went into talks Sunday
at mid-afternoon and vowed not to
emerge without something concrete. They were presented with a
set of proposals from the eurozones top official, Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, who said the sides
have come a long way in two
days of talks among finance ministers.
The deal on the table appeared to
include commitments from Tsipras
to push a drastic austerity program
including pension, market and
privatization reforms through parliament by Wednesday, and from
the 18 other eurozone leaders to
start talks on a new bailout program.
A four-page discussion paper put

to eurozone leaders and obtained

by The Associated Press spoke of a
potential time-out from the euro
area for Greece if no agreement
could be found.
It highlighted the increasing
frustration of European leaders
during five months of fruitless
talks with Greece.
The most important currency
has been lost: that is trust and reliability, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said Sunday.
Tsipras insisted his government
was ready to clinch a deal.
We owe that to the peoples of
Europe who want Europe united
and not divided, he said. We can
reach an agreement tonight if all
parties want it.
Divisions appeared to be growing among European leaders.
French President Francois
Hollande insisted it was vital to
keep Greece in the euro and said in
the event of a departure, its
Europe that would go backward.
And that I do not want.
On the other side, Finnish
Finance Minister Alexander Stubb
said the leaders should talk with
Greece about a third bailout only if
it passes its austerity measures in

parliament.
Traditionally, eurozone ministers agree by mutual consensus,
though in exceptional circumstances a unanimous vote may not
be needed.
Greece has received two previous bailouts, totaling 240 billion
euros ($268 billion), in return for
deep spending cuts, tax increases
and reforms from successive governments. Although the countrys
annual budget deficit has come
down dramatically, Greeces debt
burden has increased as the economy has shrunk by a quarter.
The Greek government has made
getting some form of debt relief a
priority and hopes that a comprehensive solution will involve
European creditors at least agreeing to delayed repayments or
lower interest rates.
Greek debt stands at around 320
billion euros ($357 billion) a
staggering 180 percent or so of
the countrys annual gross domestic product.
Few economists think that debt
will ever be fully repaid. Last
week, the International Monetary
Fund said Greeces debt will need
to be restructured.

Hep C drug is $1,350 a pill

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The $1,000

pill for a liver-wasting viral infection that made headlines last year
is no longer the favorite of
patients and doctors.
The new leading pill for hepatitis C is more expensive, and the
number of patients seeking a cure
has surged.
Sovaldi, last years wonder drug,
has been pushed aside by a successor called Harvoni, made by
Foster-City based Gilead. The
sticker price for Harvoni is
$1,350 a pill.

closely amid fears that breakthrough drugs could reignite the

into cost drivers include a new

treatment for melanoma and a cholesterol-lowering drug awaiting
approval. More hepatitis C drugs
are also headed to market.
Hepatitis C affects some 3 million people in the U.S. and claims
more lives here than AIDS. With
the new drugs, patients finally
have a choice among highly effective cures with minimal side
effects.
Previous treatments were hit and
miss, and many patients couldnt
tolerate the side effects. But newfound choice doesnt seem to have
led to widespread price competition.
As a society we need a way of
determining what is a reasonable
price at the time of introduction of
a new drug, said Stephen
Schondelmeyer, a University of

Minnesota professor who specializes in pharmaceutical economics.

We have expanded coverage, but
we havent done anything to control costs on the pricing side.
The Associated Press asked two
companies that track the prescription drug market for a hepatitis C
update.

WASHINGTON Over the past seven

months, as sexual misconduct allegations
against Bill Cosby mounted, a top
Smithsonian official met privately with
museum directors across the sprawling complex on the National Mall to decide what to
do about an exhibit showcasing Cosbys
private art collection.
While many companies and universities
were distancing themselves from the comedian, Smithsonian officials ultimately concluded the exhibit should continue.
First and fundamentally, this is an art
exhibit, Richard Kurin, the Smithsonians
undersecretary for art, history and culture
told The Associated Press. So its not about
the life and career of Bill Cosby. Its about
the artists.
About a third of the Smithsonians
National Museum of African Arts 50th
anniversary exhibition came from Bill and
Camille Cosbys extensive AfricanAmerican art collection.
Most of the Cosby collection had never
before been seen by the public. It includes
paintings by one-time slaves, pieces commissioned for the Cosbys, a piece by
Cosbys daughter and quilts made in tribute

to Cosby and his slain son, Ennis. The

exhibit also includes images of Cosby and
quotations from him.
Even without the assault allegations, the
exhibit raised concerns. Some critics frown
on showcasing a private collection in a
prominent museum because it can enhance
the artworks market value. Also, Camille
Cosby sits on the museums board and initiated the loan, which raises questions about
conflicts of interest.
Now the Smithsonian has revealed that
the Cosbys also funded the exhibition with
a $716,000 gift, which virtually covers the
entire cost. Museum industry guidelines call
for museums to make public the source of
funding when an art lender funds an exhibit.
The Cosbys financial donation was not disclosed in press materials issued by the
Smithsonian to publicize the exhibit, nor
mentioned on the museums website. The
exhibit opened in November. The
Smithsonian said the information was
available to anyone who specifically
requested it.
Noah Kupferman, an art market expert at
Shapiro Auctions who has taught about the
economics of fine art, said such financial
arrangements are not unprecedented, but
museums must be transparent about them.

National claims District 52 title

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

PORTOLA VALLEY The finale of the

District 52 10-11-year-old All-Star
Tournament was a testament to how championship baseball should be played.
Neither team ever led by more than one
run in a splendid pitching duel and, in the
end, San Mateo National persevered for a
thrilling 3-2 victory over Pacifica American
Saturday at Ford Field to claim their second
straight district title.
National trailed 2-1 going into the fifth

inning, but rallied to tie it on a two-out double by Nicholas Soudah. Then in the sixth,
National plated the go-ahead run on a basesloaded walk to Ryan Harvey.
It was kind of like Game 7 of the World
Series with the Giants, San Mateo National
catcher Pablo Ossio said. You never know
what's going to happen.
Ossio had a big day at the plate, capping a
3-for-3 performance with the leadoff single
to spark the go-ahead rally in the sixth. One
of five left-handed hitters in the National
starting lineup, Ossio caught a high fastball
and flipped it into right field for a knock.

Cleanup hitter Jackson Wood followed

looking to atone for his two previous atbats, both of which ended in groundball
double plays.
It's not what you do in the first at-bat,
Wood said. It's your last at-bat that counts.
And I leave it all on the field.
The Babe Ruth lookalike, Wood, came
through in the sixth by producing a clean
single to center. Chris Kelly, the third consecutive lefty-swinging slugger to bat in
the inning, followed with a sharp single to

Serena Williams celebrates Saturdays win over

LONDON Before Serena Williams

what statistics they are:

Steffi Graf, with 22, has more in the Open
era of professional tennis (the all-time

record is Margaret Courts 24).

Her 6-4, 6-4 victory over Garbine
Muguruza in Saturdays final gave Williams
six Wimbledon titles; only Martina
Navratilova (with nine) and Graf (with
seven) have more. Williams also has a halfdozen trophies each from the U.S. Open and
Australian Open, along with three from the
French Open.
Shes won 28 Grand Slam matches in a
row and four consecutive major titles over
two seasons, something last done by
guess who? Williams in 2002-03, when

she coined the term Serena Slam.

At 33, she is the oldest woman to win a
major title in the Open era, nearly a month
older than Navratilova was at Wimbledon in
1990.
Its all impressive. And it all helps
Williams believe she can continue this

Pacifica Joe D. in the drivers seat

of North Peninsula pennant race
By Terry Bernal

A split was as good as a sweep, so far as

Pacifica Joe DiMaggio is concerned, in
Sundays doubleheader matchup with San
Bruno at Lara Field.
The two teams entered into play deadlocked atop the North Peninsula League
standings, which favored Pacifica (14-4),
having defeated San Bruno earlier in the
year in the first game of a three-game season series. So long as Pacifica didnt get
swept Sunday, its first-place destiny would

its fifth consecutive defeat.
The Phillies (29-62) set the franchise record
for the most losses before the All-Star break,
surpassing the previous mark of 61 in 1997.
Ryne Sandberg resigned as manager June
26, and Pete Mackanin has failed to stop the
slide as interim manager so far.
Its been difficult. But we still have to go
out and play hard, try to learn and hope things
get better, said shortstop Freddy Galvis.
The Giants got going by turning three double plays in the first four innings, with Posey
starting two of them.
The All-Star catcher, playing first base to
get a rest from his regular duties, snagged a
bunt by Billingsley in the third and a hard-hit
grounder by Maikel Franco in the fourth
before smoothly throwing to second each
time.
Susac, who started in Poseys place at catcher, also threw out Cesar Hernandez trying to
steal second in the first inning. But his
biggest contribution came at the plate not
behind it.
After Brandon Crawfords RBI single, Susac
hit a three-run drive onto the netting that covers the kale garden over the wall in center. It
was Susacs third home run this season.
Santiago Casilla gave up a run in the ninth
before getting his 23rd save in 27 chances.

So much for a break

The All-Star break will be anything but for
many of the Giants. Bochy is managing the NL
All-Star team, which includes Bumgarner,
Posey, Crawford and Joe Panik. They were heading to Cincinnati with no complaints. It
never gets old. Id do it every year, Bochy said.

Sweeping series
Its the seventh time the Phillies have been
swept in a series of at least three games this
season. The Giants hadnt swept Philadelphia
in San Francisco since September 2000.

Trainers room
Left-hander Jeremy Affledt (strained left
shoulder) could make a rehab start before

San Francisco starts a six-game road trip

Pacifica can now clinch the North

manager Bryan Powers said. We knew if we
came in and lost two, we had no chance.
Obviously you want to win two games, but
winning one was just as good.
Winning the league championship comes
with a big payoff. Unlike previous seasons,
when the league champs would merely get a

was in last season, only to be stunned by

middle, but Michael Brantley hit into a double play to end the fourth.
Gray, who wont pitch in Tuesdays game

plays, and nearly got a third twin
killing in the fifth inning.
He's one of our best guys and he
came up great, Gordon said.
National's ability to stay out of
the fifth-inning double play loomed
large. Matt Salloman led off the
inning with a walk. Then pinch runner Nicholas Pai entered the game.
Pai came up with a key play
when Will Bonini hit a chopper to
second base. Pacifica second baseman Shamus Hawkins hurried the
ball to shortstop Tre Gutierrez,

who glided across the bag to give

himself a lane to gun a throw to
first. Pai, however, slid into the
path of Gutierrez, but did not interfere with the throw as Pai cut his
slide just shy of the shortstop
without making contact, causing
Gutierrez's throw to be late on the
back end of the play.
Then with two outs, Soudah
buzzed a game-tying double into
the left-field corner. National
almost came up empty after some
confusion on the base paths.
Bonini had plenty of time to score
from first on the play, but San
Mateo National manager Rob
Janke, the team's third-base
coach, threw up the stop sign as
Bonini rounded third. The stop
sign was not to hold Bonini, however, but to hold Soudah at second.
But Janke verbally cued Bonini to
get on his horse towards the plate,
and the critical tying run still
managed to score standing up.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Meanwhile, National got a stellar
pitching performance of its own
from starter Gavin Sierra. The lefthander allowed two runs in the first
inning, then buckled down to hold
Pacifica scoreless from there. Sierra
worked four innings, allowing five
hits while striking out seven.
Gavin Sierra has been our horse
this tournament, Janke said. All
three games he's pitched, he's
been solid for us and he stepped
up for us today.
Kelly worked the final two
innings in relief to earn the win for
National. The right-hander missed
National's previous two games in
the tourney due to a family vacation. But he found his form quickly, firing two shutout innings,
allowing one hit and one walk.
He's an overpowering pitcher, Janke said. For him to come
up after not playing two games
was huge.
The overall pitching duel
between both teams was huge after
a first inning that looked as
though the game might turn into a
slugfest. National got on the
board in the first on an RBI single
by Ossio.
But Pacifica answered right
back. After a leadoff double by
Dillon Arrastio, Uter hit a two-out
frozen rope through a National
infielder for an RBI single, then
advanced to second on the throw
home. Joey Gentile followed with
an RBI double to score Uter, giving Pacifica a 2-1 lead.
But the score stayed that way until
the fifth inning, much in part to
some dazzling defense on both
sides. To start the second inning,
National's Mikey Angelopoulos
drove a towering fly to deep right,
but Arrastio made a nice play sprinting straight back to make the catch,
in stride, on the warning track.
In the bottom of the inning,

Hawkins led off with a single for

Pacifica. Justin Milch followed
with a sharp hopper into the hole
between short and third, but
National shortstop Oliver Crank
was able to cut it off with a backhand and make a Derek Jeter-esque
leaping throw to second to get the
lead runner.
Guiterrez returned the favor to
his opposite number in the fourth
inning, as Pacifica's shortstop
made a tremendous diving stop on
a ball headed up the middle.
Gutierrez's momentum nearly
caused him to roll onto his back
with the ball still in his glove, but
he had the wherewithal to reverse
his direction and make a shot-put
throw to second from his belly for
the final out of the inning.
If it weren't for our defense, we
would have been home a couple
weeks ago, Gordon said. It's been
like that the whole tournament.
It was National who knocked
Pacifica into the losers' bracket
with a 5-1 win in the tourney
opener. National went on to down
Foster City 10-0 June 28, Half
Moon Bay 8-3 July 2 and San
Carlos National 7-4 July 5 before
splitting the championship series
with Pacifica.
Pacifica American won seven
straight through last Thursday's
victory over National in the championship-series opener. Saturdays
loss marks the second straight year
the P-Town squad has lost in the
District 52 finale. Last season, they
lost in Game 2 of the championship
round of the 10-year-old tourney to
San Mateo American.
It was such an amazing run, and
to be this close two years in a row,
it hurts bad, Gordon said.
With the District 52 championship, National now advances to
the Section 3 tournament beginning July 15 in Union City.

Tour leader Froome eyes Pyrenees mountains

By Jerome Pugmire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PLUMELEC, France Race leader Chris

Froome heads to the first mountain stages of
the Tour de France in confident mood and
with an unexpected main rival.
The British rider, seeking his second Tour
win after his dominant victory in 2013, safely
kept the yellow jersey after his Team SKY finished one second behind American rider Tejay
Van Garderens BMC in Sundays team time
trial, the ninth stage of a crash-marred race.
Van Garderen is 12 seconds behind Froome

TENNIS
Continued from page 11
Over the past three seasons, Federer has
reached two Grand Slam finals both at
Wimbledon, both against Djokovic, both
losses.
You sort of walk away empty-handed. For
me, a finalist trophy is not the same, a grimfaced Federer said. Everybody knows that.
At Wimbledon in 2014, Federer won 88 of
89 service games through the semifinals,
then was broken four times by Djokovic during the five-set final.
This fortnight, Federer won 89 of 90 service games entering the final, then again was
broken four times.
It takes a little bit of everything: recognizing the moment, having the good intuition, following your instincts of where the
serve is going to go, being in the right balance, Djokovic said. I mean, its not that
easy, especially with Rogers precision and
accuracy.
Djokovics serve was stout, too: He saved
six of seven break points. On a windy afternoon, Federer was simply not the same
height-of-his-powers player who defeated

in second place, putting

him ahead of Nairo
Quintana of Colombia,
the 2013 Tour runner-up
and the Giro dItalia winner in 2014, as well as
two-time Tour winner
Alberto Contador of
Spain and defending Tour
Vincenzo
Chris Froome champion
Nibali of Italy.
The 26-year-old Van Garderen has never finished higher than fifth at the Tour, but is so far
riding like a contender.

Those guys have that tag of Fab Four

which is getting a bit irritating, Van
Garderen said. All those guys in the top
four have won Grand Tours ... It doesnt
mean Im intimidated by them ... Im not
afraid to beat them.
The most disappointing of the Fab Four
has so far been Nibali, who cracked in a short
climb at the end of Saturdays eighth stage
and lost more time in Sundays TTT when his
Astana team finished fifth, behind Contadors
Tinkoff-Saxo and Quintanas Movistar.
Contador, who entered the Tour on the back
of his second Giro dItalia win and seventh

Grand Tour title, is in fifth place 1 minute,

3 seconds behind Froome while Quintana
is 1:59 behind in ninth and Nibali sits 2:22
behind in 13th spot.
Following Mondays rest day, Tuesdays
10th stage snakes up the Pyrenees mountains.
There is only one significant climb, right
at the end. But it is a notable one 15.3
kilometers (9.5 miles) up La Pierre-SaintMartin, a mountain resort hosting a stage for
the first time. The ascent is classed as Hors
Categorie (Beyond Classification) the rating given to the toughest climbs.

Andy Murray in the semifinals. Pressured by

Djokovics body-twisting ability to extend
points, Federer committed 35 unforced errors;
Djokovic made 16.
Federer and Djokovic have played 40 times;
each has won 20.
Novak played not only great today, said
Federer, 33, the oldest Wimbledon finalist
since 1974, but the whole two weeks, plus
the whole year, plus last year, plus the year
before that.
Federer might very well be the greatest of
all time, as some say, but right now, the best
in the mens game is Djokovic.
He won the Australian Open in January,
then was the runner-up at the French Open last
month, denying him a career Grand Slam. Go
further back, and Djokovic has reached 15 of
the past 20 major finals, winning eight.
Still, most spectators were pulling for
Federer. So quiet between points that preserve ball bounces could be heard, the crowd
voiced a collective awwwww of lament after
a fault by Federer or a mid-point ooooh of
excitement when he conjured up something
exquisite.
More or less, anywhere I play against
Roger, its the same, said Djokovic, who
barked at some fans late in the fourth set.
Federer rued letting the opening set get
away. Twice, he held a set point and failed to

convert. The tiebreaker ended flatly on

Federers double-fault, part of a run in which
Djokovic took 14 of 15 points.
For me to win this match, Federer said, I
probably had to win the first set.
He regrouped, staving off seven set points
in the second and taking that tiebreaker.
So 110 minutes in, they were tied. Heres
how close it was: In the first set, each man
won 37 points; in the second set, each won
51.
At the changeover, Djokovic yelled at himself. Maybe it helped, because his second
break gave him a 2-1 edge in the third, and he
finished that set off quickly following a 20minute rain delay. Federer failed to put up
much resistance in the fourth, getting broken
twice more.
Soon enough, Djokovic was crouching
down to pluck a few blades of Centre Court
grass and slide them in his mouth.
He equaled his coach, Boris Becker, with
three trophies at Wimbledon. Add five
Australian Opens and one U.S. Open, and his
nine major titles push him ahead of folks such
as Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors and Ivan
Lendl and put the 28-year-old Serb more than
halfway to Federers record of 17.
Hes clearly making a big name for himself, Federer said, having won as many
times now as he has in these different Slams.

Hingis wins two

titles in two days
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Martina Hingis keeps adding

to her collection of Wimbledon trophies.
The 34-year-old Swiss paired with Leander
Paes of India on Sunday to win the mixed doubles
title,
beating
Alexander Peya and Timea
Babos 6-1, 6-1 under the
roof on Centre Court.
The win, which took
just 40 minutes, gave
Hingis her 11th Grand
Slam doubles title.
It was the second in
two day days for Hingis,
Martina Hingis who combined with
Sania Mirza to win the womens doubles on
Saturday, beating Ekaterina Makarova and
Elena Vesnina 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5.
Hingis became the first player to win both
the womens and mixed doubles titles at the
All England Club since Cara Black in 2004.
These are Hingis first titles at Wimbledon
since she won the womens doubles in 1998.

Chun holds off Yang for U.S. Open title

THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Bob Lentz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANCASTER, Pa. South

Koreas In Gee Chun birdied four of
the last seven holes to rally for a
one-stroke victory at the U.S.
Womens Open on Sunday.
The 20-year old Chun shot a 4under 66 in the final round and finished at 8 under, becoming the first
player to win her U.S. Open debut
since Birdie Kim in 2005. It was
her fifth victory this year.
Third-round leader Amy Yang
struggled in the middle of her round
and then pulled within one by
going eagle-birdie at Nos. 16 and
17. But she bogeyed the 18th and
fell a stroke short.
Playing in the final group on the
last day of the championship for
the third time in four years, Yang
squandered a three-stroke lead and
settled for a 1-over 71 and second
at 273.
Two-time champion and topranked Inbee Park (67) overcame
putting woes and rallied late, tying
for third with Stacy Lewis (70) at 5under 275.
Defending champion Michelle
Wie battled hip and leg injuries and
limped in with an even-par 70,

going the distance as well as
Pacifica led the whole way.
Berghammer didnt pitch earlier
this year during his freshman season
at Skyline College, instead focusing
solely on his role as the everyday
right fielder. But he came into the
summer season wanting to pitch,
according to Powers. And that desire
carried over to Sunday after six
innings of work, when Powers questioned if he should run the left-hander back out for the seventh.
He wanted the ball the last
inning, so we gave it to him,
Powers said.
Falk set the tone in Game 1,
locking up with San Bruno lefthander Joe Galea. The seesaw battle
saw San Bruno take a 3-2 lead into
the seventh inning, but Pacifica
grinded out a run after a weird baserunning play that went its way.
Pacificas Nate Gordon led off
the inning with a sharp single to
right, then advanced to third on an
error by the San Bruno right fielder. But San Bruno nearly nabbed
an out on the throw to third. San
Bruno relief pitcher Rory McDaid
found himself near the base path
between second and third as
Gordon was motoring by, so
McDaid cut off the throw and
attempted a swipe tag. But Gordon
avoided the tag and slid into third
ahead of McDaids throw.

2-under 278.

the focus on the
final pairing of
Yang
and
Lewis, Chun,

ahead, quietly
up
In Gee Chun picked
strokes on the
leaders. At 4 under heading into
the final round at Lancaster
Country Club, Chun picked up two
strokes on the front nine, closing
within two of the lead.
She got within a stroke with a
birdie at the 12th, and then rolled
in a nine-foot putt at No. 15 for the
first of three straight birdies. She
moved into the lead with a birdie at
16 as Yang and Lewis struggled.
She added another birdie at the
17th to stretch her lead to two
strokes.
At the troublesome 421-yard,
uphill closing hole, Chun drove
into the rough, chipped short and
went on to make bogey, falling
into a tie for the lead with Yang,
who birdied 17.
But Yang failed again in her bid
to claim the biggest prize in
womens golf. She also drove into

the rough at the last hole, chipped

short of the green and failed to get
up-and-down for par, giving Chun
the win.
Lewis bid for her first U.S. Open
title was foiled by a pair of doublebogeys, with the most costly one
coming at 15, a hole after she had
moved into a tie for the lead. At the
15th, she drove into the rough, hit
her second shot through the fairway, and then dumped her third
shot into a greenside bunker
before taking a 6 and falling out of
contention.
Park had three birdies on the back
nine. Within two shots of the lead
through 16 holes, the putting woes
that dogged the 2008 and 2013
winner returned and her bid ended
with a three-putt bogey at the 17th.
Wie grimaced in pain throughout
the round. The nagging left hip and
leg issues that have made this a forgettable season for the 25-year-old
four-time LPGA Tour winner seemed
to intensify in the final round.
Wie repeatedly cringed and tried
to take weight off her right side
after drives. Her final round did
have one highlight, with her drive
at the 234-yard, par-4 16th hitting
the flagstick before she rolled in
the short eagle putt.

Gordon later scored the tying run

on an RBI groundout by
Berghammer. But McDaid got the
run back in the bottom of the
inning. Joe Katout led off with a
walk then stole second base. He
moved to third on a risky groundout
to short off the bat of Cole Galli.
After a walk to Kyle Patterson to set
up a potential double play, McDaid
delivered a long sacrifice fly to left
for the walk-off win.
Falk admitted he wasnt as crisp
in the decisive seventh inning.
I felt fine, Falk said. Just my
stuff wasnt as active as it was in the
first couple innings. I definitely didnt have as much gas left in the tank.
In Game 2, Pacifica catcher
Mills Notmeyer emerged at the
plate, going 3 for 4 with a clutch
two-run single in the second
inning to get his team on the
board. Notmeyer took just 14 atbats as a junior at Terra Nova in
the spring, but has started a majority of games this summer between
third base and catcher.
Hes a guy thats done a great
job for us, Powers said.

months, and go two years between

major titles. Since then, though,

she has won eight of the past 13
Grand Slam tournaments.
On Saturday evening, hours after
admiring the gold letters of her
name on the board in a hallway of
the Centre Court building listing
Wimbledons
champions,
Williams sat with a small group of
reporters for one final interview.
As she picked at the remnants of
ankle tape near a jagged scar on
her lower right leg, Williams was
asked whether, as she looks back
on her career, she divides it into
phases.
She began to answer, then
paused and said: Or there was that
stage where I was in the hospital.
Like, that wasnt so fun. I was
doing really well, and then I ended
up in the hospital. So that was
kind of devastating. But ultimately, I think that stage set up this
stage, you know? And ... yeah, I
think it worked out for me.
Certainly did.

Minions a worldwide hit

By Ryan Nakashima
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Universals Minions

overran the box office over the weekend as
audiences in the U.S. and Canada shelled out
an estimated $115.2 million to see the evilmaster-serving horde frolic on the big
screen.
It was the second-biggest opening ever
for an animated film and an easy win for the
sidekicks who took the spotlight after playing supporting roles in two previous
Despicable Me movies. The bright, babbling baldies have become key characters in
the franchise from Universals Illumination
Entertainment.
Directed by Peter Coffin, who co-directed
both Despicable Me movies and voices
the Minions, the movie easily beat
Jurassic World, another Universal picture
that grossed $18.1 million in its fifth weekend after release, according to box office
tracker Rentrak.
Disneys Inside Out ranked third with
$17.1 million in its fourth weekend.
Minions was a hit overseas as well, taking the No. 1 spot in 29 of the 30 other
countries in which it debuted over the weekend, including Mexico, Russia, France and
Venezuela. Internationally, the movie
grossed $280.5 million.
Given that they seek to work for the
most evil people on the planet, they give
off this incredible happiness, said Duncan
Clark, Universals president of international distribution.
I think the quality theyre proving to
have is a common denominator appeal
across all cultures.
Only DreamWorks Animations Shrek
The Third opened to a bigger gross in
North America in 2007, with $121.6 million, according to Rentrak. Minions beat
out Disneys Toy Story 3, which took in
$110.3 million on its opening weekend in
2010.
Paul Dergarabedian, Rentraks senior
media analyst, said the Minions captured
most of the buzz among Despicable Me
fans from the start.
Its always been about these crazy, irreverent, funny characters, Dergarabedian

said. Other studios have created successful

spinoffs, such as DreamWorks Shrek side
story from 2011, Puss in Boots. There are
also the multi-layered spinoffs in Disneys
Marvel universe, including Ant-Man,
which opens next weekend.
It seems like a foregone conclusion there
will be more Minions because of the millions they made, Dergarabedian said.
Universal is planning to unleash
Despicable Me 3 in the summer of 2017
and plans a gaggle of other films by
Illumination Entertainment.
Led by chairman Christopher Meledandri,
the animated movie studio has become one
of Hollywoods most successful.
Ahead of Minions, Universal showed a
trailer from a release for next summer, The
Secret Life of Pets, which explores what
pets do when their owners leave them at
home unattended. Its also planning to
release a holiday 2017 version of Dr. Seuss
Grinch.
Universals domestic distribution president, Nicholas Carpou, credits Meledandri
with creating movies whose outlandish
characters are relatable.
Theyre very heartwarming, theyre

very charming. You think of Gru (the villain from Despicable Me) even a villain has a huge heart. I think were seeing
the results of that in the Minions right
now, he said.
Other movies debuting in the Top 10 this
past weekend were The Gallows, an adlibbed high-school horror movie from
Blumhouse Productions, the creator of the
Paranormal Activity and Insidious franchises, and Self/less, a sci-fi thriller
about a near-death billionaire who transmits
himself into a younger body.

ur Fourth of July was eventful,

but far from a party. We took 25
stray dogs into our care, many
undoubtedly spooked by reworks. Half
were reunited with their families by closing time on July 5, which was fantastic.
If you have someone who lost a dog
recently, make sure you tell them to visit
our intake facility at 12 Airport Blvd. in
San Mateo. Even if you didnt see any
stray dogs during our recent holiday, you
probably heard them barking or howling.
Or, you might have a habitual barker in
your neighborhood. Frustrated neighbors
might yell at the dog through their fence.
Thats human nature we react quickly
and probably also want to avoid confrontation with the dogs owner. But, an
aggressive approach generally makes the
problem worse. Before I go further, Ill
note that barking dog complaints should
be directed to your citys police department, as these complaints are treated like
other public disturbance issues. But, this
isnt your only recourse. Its helpful to
understand why a dog might be barking.
Some bark when they are excited or
bored. Some bark to protect their territory. Dogs left alone for hours without adequate stimulation and exercise bark out of
boredom. The best approach is direct contact with the dogs owner a caring,
friendly approach! The dogs owner may
not realize his or her dog is barking if the
barking occurs while they are at work.
You can refer dog owners to Peninsula
Humane Societys free animal behavior
helpline. Our staff will recommend bringing the dog inside if left out at night, and
rigorous exercise prior to being left alone
during the day. Well suggest hiring a dog
walker or even a mature youngster in your
neighborhood you would trust to walk
your dog. Finally, the dog might be barking at you, the stranger on the other side
of the fence. Meet your neighbors dog
and become familiar with each other.

Lawrence Karlton dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Retired federal judge

Lawrence K. Karlton, whose written legal
opinions on topics ranging from mental
health care for inmates to the environment
stand as significant influences on key
issues, died in Northern California. He was
80.
Karlton died Saturday at his home in
Sacramento from a heart valve problem he
had dealt with for several years, the
Sacramento Bee reported.
Karlton retired from the federal court for
the Eastern District of California at the end

of September.
His best-known case is probably a longrunning and still ongoing battle to improve
treatment of Californias mentally ill
prison inmates.
Karlton left private practice in 1976 when
then-Gov. Jerry Brown appointed him to the
Sacramento Superior Court. He was nominated for the Eastern District bench by
President Jimmy Carter and confirmed in
1979.
William B. Shubb, the longest-serving
federal judge sitting on the Eastern District
bench, said Sunday that Karltons dedication to the law was contagious.

state health officials are awaiting word on a
waiver that would help local nonprofits
draw federal dollars for this kind of treatment. But the bureaucratic process has been
grueling with many expecting an answer
months ago.
Now, providers fear vital services are
being lost, as they must wait for the countys Board of Supervisors to decide how to
proceed with increasing funding, despite
not knowing how the ACAs impact will
play out.
Supervisors are slated to make a decision
in September after the countys Behavioral
Health and Recovery Services finalizes a
countywide analysis of providers, their
facilities and finances. While the wait is
prompting some to consider downsizing,
Supervisor Don Horsley said the results of
the study could lead the county to step up in
a big way.
Its not that we have suspended funding,
were really looking at whats the best way
to sustain those beds, Horsley said,
explaining the county might consider purchasing certain buildings or pairing with

Kourtoglou last month for a previous
round of donations, channeled through
her Hugs With Love foundation, when
she delivered 400 stuffed animals to
children who are patients at California
Pacific Medical Center in San
Francisco in December.
Kourtoglou, who was diagnosed
with Crohns Disease when she was
14, said the money from her crowdfunding campaign will be used to
expand her program to benefit
patients at Lucile Packard Childrens
Hospital in Palo Alto.
She was inspired to begin her foundation after being given a stuffed kangaroo during an ambulance ride to the
hospital, when she was initially diagnosed with disease which caused pain
and bowel inflammation, among a
variety of other medical issues, she
said.
I was really scared at the time, she
said. I knew it was going to be OK,
and it was still comforting to have
something there with me.
The stuffed animal comforted her
when she was feeling most vulnerable,
which compelled to share with others
who could use some consolation, she
said.
During her first visit to the hospital
to deliver stuffed animals, Kourtoglou
said she gave a teddy bear to a young
boy battling a terminal disease, which

the nonprofits. What [providers are] asking for is for us to give them additional
money. But what were thinking about
doing is becoming essentially a landlord.
Horsley, a former sheriff, said he understands the significant value substance abuse
treatment centers provide, particularly with
Proposition 47 having turned many drug
crimes to misdemeanors.
Its really incredibly important because
if someone is in jail and has a drug or substance abuse problem, its one thing to get
them clean and sober in jail, but they have
to have additional transitional housing,
Horsley said.
Providers couldnt agree more, but without a firm commitment from the county,
several are closing facilities to get by.
Roache said while Our Common Ground
has received verbal commitments from different county officials, if a new contract
isnt in place by the nonprofits board meeting July 20, it will likely put its property up
for sale.
Other facilities are closing down or
downsizing for the same reason because
theres not enough support from the county.
For some reason they seem to think its better to put people in jail, said Ray
Rosenthal, president emeritus of Our
Common Ground. We need our politicians
to make a decision and just go for it instead

months, she said.
He was smiling, his parents were
crying because they hadnt seen him
smile, she said. It made me feel good
that I was doing something good and
helpful for other people.
The Giants invited Kourtoglou down
to the field to be recognized for her
charitable work. There she met relief
pitcher Jeremy Affeldt prior to a game
against the San Diego Padres.
She said the experience of receiving
recognition in front of a huge crowd
and meeting a professional athlete was
captivating.
It was kind of breathtaking, she
said.
The baseball team caught wind of
Kourtoglous effort through the
Jefferson Awards program at her
school, which honors students who
give back to their community.
Sue Glick, former director of the
program at Burlingame High School,
praised Kourtoglou for her charitable
efforts.
Shes doing this wonderful thing
due to her experience, said Glick.
She making a positive out of something that could have been very negative.
Besides her work on Hugs With
Love, Kourtoglou also must balance

of just sitting on their money.

Debra Camarillo, executive director of the
Latino Commission, said the group earlier
this year was forced to close two of its residential facilities that provided 18 beds.
It is a shame, because reopening those
facilities will cost so much more than had
they been maintained open. Not to mention
those who desperately needed treatment and
did not receive it and those in the future that
will not receive services because the facility closed down, Camarillo wrote in an
email.
Project 90 Executive Director Jim
Stansberry said hes had to put one of his
therapeutic residences on the market a
San Mateo property that provided transitional housing to about six people who
graduated from the program but needed
longer term help. Currently, Project 90
must turn down a significant portion of
those requesting assistance because it doesnt have the funds to support the amount of
beds it maintains, Stansberry said
Were in the process of selling one of our
facilities that we own just to give us sufficient resources to be able to move forward,
Stansberry said. The therapeutic housing
supports continued outpatient recovery as

most people arent capable of going into

Amidst her chaotic schedule, Angela
Kourtoglou said Elexi depends on a
close community of friends to persevere.
Shes got a solid group of friends,
she said. They are all supportive.
Not only has Kourtoglous time in
the hospital compelled her to help
work with other patients, but it has
also inspired her to develop a career
vision, she said.
She said she would like to eventually attend Harvard or Cornell universities, where she would pursue a medical
degree while specializing in neonatal
care or pediatric surgery, she said.
Her exposure to hospitals also bred
a unique perspective, which has benefited her as she learns to live with her
illness, she said.
I thought it was the worst thing in
the world, that I couldnt do anything I
wanted to do, she said. I just have to
realize my situation isnt that bad.
But as she continues her foundation
work, Kourtoglou said shes continually impressed by the positive feedback she has received from people
who appreciate her charitable endeavor.
The fact that it has come this far is
really cool, she said.

try to provide some stability.

Furthering Project 90s trials is the fact
that it doesnt own one of its largest residential and intake facilities known as the
OToole Center. The Ninth Avenue property
owner is planning on redeveloping the site
and Stansberry said hes struggling to commit to another locale because the county
hasnt solidified what it will contribute.
Horsley said providing transitional housing opportunities to those released from jail
is critical and the county may consider how
it can help find Project 90 another site.
But as the Board of Supervisors must first
review the countywide analysis, it appears
unlikely treatment providers will receive
any confirmation before late September.
Nonetheless, devising sustaining means to
support such facilities is in the works,
according to Steve Kaplan, director of the
countys Behavior Health and Recovery
Services.
The county values all of our residential
service providers and recognizes the significant challenges some of them are facing,
Kaplan said in an email. Often, for individuals with a substance abuse addiction, residential treatment is key to their recovery.
Maintaining and possibly expanding the
capacity in San Mateo County is a high priority for the county.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Joint endeavors will
not turn out well. Sharing your plans will backre.
Someone will try to take credit for your ideas. Listen
and observe, but carry out your plans independently.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Dont waste time

fretting over events you cant control. Spend
time with close friends. Your concepts will prove
successful if you can enlist the help of someone who
is willing to invest in you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You will stress
yourself out if you dont learn to say no to demanding
people. Take care of your mental and physical health
by putting your needs rst.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You should
take time to consider how a current partnership

unrealistic pace. An old friend will make moves to
regain the relationship you once had. Remember the
past before moving forward.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Invest in your
skills and knowledge. If you dedicate your efforts
to something you feel passionate about, youll
get amazing results. Borrowing or lending should
be avoided.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When it comes to
improving your home environment, you should do
what you think best. Bowing to what others want
will stifle your confidence and lead to frustration
and disappointment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) By mixing business

with pleasure, you will be able to tie up loose ends.

Plan to celebrate your achievements while enjoying the
company of people heading in a similar direction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Conservative or longterm investments should be part of your financial
plan. Dont jump at a tempting deal that lacks
substance just because others think you should. Do
your own research.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will get upset
if you let a reckless emotional state dictate your
actions. Think matters through before you make a
life-altering move.

WATER
Continued from page 1
Public Utilities Commission most of
which comes from the Hetch Hetchy
reservoir system that transports millions of gallons more than 100 miles
every day.
Cal Water customers include thousands of residents in San Mateo, San
Carlos, South San Francisco, Colma,
Woodside, Portola Valley, Atherton and
unincorporated portions of the county,
Redwood City as well as Menlo Park.
Yet it could be years before officials
determine whether a desalinization
plant is financially feasible, as the
state-managed utility must first seek
approval from the California Public
Utilities Commission to spend $2.5
million of ratepayer funds on its investigative drilling research project.
Should it find a reliable brackish
groundwater basin capable of producing
at least 5 million gallons per day, constructing a treatment plant is estimated
to cost about $111 million to $141 million, said Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the
Bay
Area
Water
Supply
and
Conservation Agency. BAWSCA represents the interests of 24 cities and water
districts as well as two utility companies along the Peninsula.
Ideally, a sustainable plant would
need to produce between 5 million and
10 million gallons of water a day,
Salzano said.
BAWSCA first identified San Mateo as
a potential for a groundwater desalinization project as part of its Long-term
Reliable Water Supply Strategy, a multiyear study that culminated this year,
Sandkulla said.

Water treatment
Tapping into a groundwater basin
under the Bay could help relieve local
communities that are dependent on
imported water from the SFPUC. Plus,
treating brackish water is more cost as
well as energy efficient than treating
water straight from the Bay or ocean
which has salt content that could be up
to two times higher, Sandkulla said.
While the project will involve an

environmental review, similar projects

like one managed by the Alameda
County Water District tend to have fewer
impacts that pulling directly from the
Bay, Salzano and Sandkulla said.
The nice thing with the horizontal
wells and the idea of a brackish groundwater project is youre accessing water
underground. So youre minimizing the
impacts on the environment as compared to an open-bay desal project
where youre taking water directly from
an open body of water, Sandkulla said.
While BAWSCA has historic data
from other wells and surveyors determined the local geology could support
such a project, Salzano said they wont
know whether a treatment plant is feasible until new wells are installed.
Other unknowns include how many
wells may need to be drilled, whether
vertical or horizontal ones would be
more productive or how deep they may
need to dig; Salzano said they would
likely need to go at least 100 feet down.
Another challenge is what to do with
the leftover material, or brine, thats
unable to be treated into potable water.
Disposing of the brine has prompted
Cal Water and BAWSCA to consider setting up near San Mateos wastewater
treatment plant, Sandkulla said.
When you run this brackish groundwater, you have to run it through a
reverse osmosis treatment. You get a
certain amount of available drinking
water, then you have a brine, a very
salty concentrated portion leftover. So
then you have to figure out what to do
with this brine. The nice thing is you
can often mix it in with the existing
outfalls [from a treatment plant] because
the quality is often fresher than what
theyre putting into the Bay, Sandkulla
said. Its a nice way to take advantage
of existing infrastructure and get rid of
this in a cost effective manner.
The pipes that disperse the treated
wastewater into the Bay are also
extremely difficult to install due to the
environmental permit and costs associated, Sandkulla said.

Expanding resources
Salzano said Cal Water is in the very
early stages of approaching San Mateo
city officials to consider what kind of
arrangement could be made.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

While thirsty consumers may find the

idea of drinking treated groundwater
more palatable than treated wastewater,
Sandkulla said one shouldnt underestimate the need for expanding resources.
What we know is that we need to
invest more in sources that provide
drought reliable supply. Both the brackish groundwater provides that and direct
or indirect potable reuse (treated wastewater) provides that. And it may well be
that theres some combination that
works well for this entire region,
Sandkulla said.
Although the brackish groundwater
would be sourced from San Mateo,
which is part of Cal Waters MidPeninsula District, this supplemental
supply would have a benefit for its
neighboring districts in the county,
Salzano said.
Because the SFPUC gives Cal Water
an allotted supply for its Bay Area customers, subsidizing the Hetch Hetchy
water with treated brackish water would
bolster its portfolio. As such, Cal Water
may consider passing on the cost of the
project to all of its San Mateo County
customers, Salzano said.
Funding a multi-million-dollar treatment plant will undoubtedly be a challenge and identifying grants will be
key. Because Cal Water is a private company, BAWSCA could have greater
access to statewide grant opportunities
and will work with the utility in any way
possible, Sandkulla said.
It is very exciting to go through this
planning process. For drought reliable
supplies that are local, theres not a lot
of options. And the fact that this was
viable and worthy of going to the next
step of investigation was an excellent
result of the [supply strategy study],
Sandkulla said.
Salzano agreed, adding although Cal
Water may not receive approval from
the state to proceed with the drill project for another year, identifying local
sources is key for a rapidly growing
region.
Our communities want to redevelop
and theyre going up and as population
increases and development occurs, additional supplies are needed, Salzano
said. Were up against our supply limit
from [the SFPUC], additional supplies
are needed.

TRACY
Continued from page 1
gives Tracy the ability to sit for long stretches while
he paints.
His ability stunned his family.
He is now an accomplished landscape painter and his
works, mostly of colorful flowers, adorn the San
Mateo home his mother Elaine Mott bought him. One
day, he hopes to maybe get them displayed in a
gallery.
But his newfound ability to communicate doesnt
stop there.
Hed been working with a communication facilitator, Shaunna Schmith, for years.
Its a technique that involves pointing to letters on
an alphabet board, keyboard or other device so individuals such as Tracy can communicate.
Schmith had worked with Tracy using some old
clunky devices but a major breakthough was made the
day he was given an iPad.
She holds his hand and he points to the letter.
Ask him a question and he will answer with
Schmiths help.
Tracy then started to stream words together related to
his art and life and the result was pure poetry.
In 2014, he published his first book The Brilliant
Brush-Strokes of Autism.
Some of his poetry brings his mother to tears.
The Lone Tree
By Ryan W. Tracy
I am one for justice
One lone strong tree stands against the elements
One lone man stands out in the crowd
One person with autism stands for justice against all
that is unkown
I am that lone tree for justice fighting for my silent
brothers
No stone has been left unturned, Mott said about
helping her son communicate.
He is part of a special group that meets monthly in
Cupertino called Loud Talking Fingers.
Its essentially a room full of people who cannot
talk and use facilitated communication.
The energy in the room is electrifying, Mott said.
Tracy found that another person with autism, Kayla
Takeuchi, was able to finish high school after discovering facilitated communication.
She even went on to give the keynote address at
Syracuse Universitys Facilitated Communication
Institute in July 2009.
Tracy keeps her compact disc Kaylas Voice:
Empowering People with Autism close by.
Kayla is my friend, he told the Daily Journal.
