Three cities consider joint fire department

San Mateo, Belmont, Foster City councils may enter joint powers agreement for new organization
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Firefighters in San Mateo,

Belmont and Foster City could
soon have a lot more in common
than just their profession, they
could end up working for the same
department.
The three neighboring cities are
slated to consider forming a joint

powers agreement that would have
one entity overseeing nearly 150
employees and 10 fire stations
responsible for protecting about
160,000 residents as well countless workers and visitors, said San
Mateo Fire Chief John Healy, who
is in charge of the Belmont and
Foster City departments as well.
Essentially, the new entity

would solidify the cities current
shared-services model which
began in 2010 and has evolved to
them sharing command staff and
fire prevention services, having
personnel undergo the same training and an integrated software system.
Its the final piece, thats what
were trying to accomplish with

the JPA. Everyone works for one
organization, Healy said. For
the continued success [of sharing
services] and for the sustained success, its to have all employees
work as one and work seamlessly.
Forming a new JPA will require
each city to dissolve their exist-
ing department meaning the

city of San Mateo would essentially give up its more than a centuryold organization.
In exchange, each city would
appoint councilmembers to make
up a governing body that oversees
the JPA, Healy said.

Juvenile hall costs questioned

San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury reports facilities are underutilized
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A report released Wednesday questions

whether San Mateo County taxpayers are
spending too much to house juveniles in
detention centers.
The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jurys
report Juvenile Services Divisions Youth
Detention Facilities: Underutilized or
Overpriced? reveals that the countys three
juvenile halls currently operate at 50 percent capacity and questions whether the
facilities they are housed in could be better
utilized.
But Chief Probation Officer John Keene
told the Daily Journal Wednesday that having less children incarcerated is a good
thing and that conversations around what to
do with the facilities has been ongoing for
years.
The cost to incarcerate youth in the county is approximately $40.8 million a year.
About half of this money, however, is from
state and federal sources.
The grand jury is recommending that the
county controller conduct a comprehensive
financial and operations analysis of the
Juvenile Services Division, Correctional
Health Services and Behavioral Health and
Recovery Services to determine the costs
related to operating the countys three juvenile detention facilities.
Depending on that analysis, the grand
jury is also recommending the Board of
Supervisors to find ways to reduce the cost

Although the crimes happened in April,
Spikes was not arrested until October that
year in Sacramento. Prosecutors believe
the murder was sparked by an argument
over money. Spikes, Brackenridge and the
woman were reportedly in the Skyline
Drive backyard of Brackenridges parents.
As the argument escalated, a man later
identified as Spikes stood over
Brackenridge with a gun and shot him first
in the abdomen and then the head, according to prosecutors.
Brackenridges mother, watching from
the home, yelled out and was shot herself

and to better utilize the facilities.
The Juvenile Services Division operates
two facilities on Tower Road in San Mateo
and one in La Honda, Camp Glenwood for
boys.
The facilities, however, were built under
rigid state standards and converting them to
other uses has been determined to be cost
prohibitive, Keene said. Probation has been
discussing what to do with the facilities for
about three years when the numbers started
to drop, he said.
It is also difficult to project what the numbers will be in the coming years, he said.
The number of incarcerated youth could
increase making the facilities a necessity,
he said.
Numbers in juvenile halls across the state
have also decreased, he said.
The efforts to find alternatives to detention have worked to reduce the population.
The goal locally is to have only the kids
who should be here, those who are a danger
to themselves or the public, Keene said.
The facilities have the capacity to house
about 260 youth.
The current population at the facilities
was 109 as of April 25 of this year, according to the grand jury report.
The report also shows that it cost about

suspect, who eluded arrest. He is described
as a black man in his 30s or 40s who was

Francisco County and $596 in Los Angeles
County.
The difference in cost could be related to
the services that are provided in San Mateo
County not only from the Juvenile Services
Division, Correctional Health Services and
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services
but also from the San Mateo County Office
of Education, which operates a school for
all incarcerated youth.
I look forward to tackling these recommendations with the board to see if there is
a better way to do business, Keene said.
The grand jury recommendations are just
that, however, and are not required to be followed. It is an investigative body composed
of 19 county residents to act as a watchdog
for citizens of the county.
The county has a responsibility to its
taxpayers to maximize the utilization of
county resources and reduce costs. The grand
jurys investigation revealed that it is difficult, if not impossible, for either of these
goals to be accomplished by Probation
Department-Juvenile Services Division
since the data regarding the cost of operating JSDs facilities is neither comprehensive nor readily available, the grand jury
concludes in its report.
The Probation Department has 90 days to
respond to the report.

Clean energy notices sent out

The first of several notices will be sent
out soon to a portion of San Mateo County
residents about who their new energy
provider will be.
All 297,000 Pacific Gas and Electric customers in the county will get the notices
informing them that their new energy
provider will be Peninsula Clean Energy, a
joint powers agency that will deliver cleaner energy at competitive prices.
For residents and businesses in San
Mateo County, enrollment in Peninsula
Clean Energy is automatic and will continue through the late spring of 2017, according to Supervisor Dave Pines office,
which spearheaded the initiative.
The initial enrollment of local customers
in October will include approximately 20
percent of San Mateo County residents
throughout the county as well as all smallto medium-sized businesses, according to
Pines office.
PCE is a joint effort by the county and 20
cities that will purchase power on its customers behalf that will be either 50 percent
renewable or 100 percent renewable.
Customers will automatically be
enrolled in ECOplus, which includes a

rate that is approximately 5 percent cheaper than PG&Es rates, according to Pines
office.
A premium plan called ECO100 will provide 100 percent renewable energy at a
higher price.
Customers will have the option to stay
with PG&E, however, if they choose.
Every customer will continue to receive a
PG&E bill that will substitute Peninsula
Clean Energy as the provider of the energy
generation. All payments will continue to
be sent to PG&E and the utility will continue to respond to all service needs such as
power outages or other typical issues and
the renewable energy will be delivered over
Pacific Gas and Electric lines. There will be
no disruption for customers, according to
Pines office.
With PCE, San Mateo County rate payers can substantially reduce their carbon
emissions while enjoying lower energy
costs, Pine wrote in a statement. Pine is
also the chair of the Peninsula Clean
Energy Authority Board of Directors.
A second group of customers will be
added April 1, and the remaining customers
will start to be enrolled in October 2017.
The idea is to dramatically reduce the
countys carbon footprint by releasing less
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Yang said Xiaodong will live with supporters in suburban Hayward and take care of
her children. Her baby is due Aug. 23.

Hawaii congressman
Mark Takai dead at 49
By Cathy Bussewitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. Mark Takai, a

war veteran and longtime legislator known
for his bright nature and deep commitment
to service, died in his home Wednesday after
a monthslong battle with cancer.
Just 49-years-old, the first-term Democrat
from Hawaii was surrounded by family when
he died of pancreatic cancer, said Rod
Tanonaka, Takais chief of staff.
Takai had a servants heart, full of aloha,
said U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who served
with Takai in Congress, the Hawaii Army
National Guard and the state Legislature.
No matter where he was, he always kept
his service to Hawaiis people at the forefront of his actions, Gabbard said. Marks
smiling face and ready laugh will truly be
missed, but the impact that he made through

his life of service to the people of Hawaii
will always be remembered.
Born on Oahu, Takai served in the state
House of Representatives for 20 years
before he was elected to Congress, first winning his statehouse seat at age 27. He served
as a longtime lieutenant colonel in the
Hawaii Army National Guard for more than a
decade and was deployed to the Middle East
as a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In
Congress, he sat on the Armed Services and
Natural Resources committees.
Mark humbly and effectively served the
people of his state House and
Congressional districts, Hawaii Gov.
David Ige said in a statement. In the often
tumultuous world of politics, he has been a
shining example of what it means to be a
public servant.

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks during the third night of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Thunderous boos for Cruz for

refusing to endorse Trump
By Julie Pace and Jill Colvin
CLEVELAND Stubbornly undercutting calls for Republican unity,

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz refused to endorse
Donald Trump Wednesday night as he
addressed the GOP convention, ignoring thunderous boos from furious delegates as he encouraged Americans to
simply vote your conscience in
November.
In a surreal moment, Trump unexpectedly walked into the arena just as
Cruz was wrapping up his remarks.
Delegates chanted Trumps name and
implored Cruz to voice his support for
the businessman, to no avail.
Vote for candidates up and down the
ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the
Constitution, Cruz said. While he
backed some of Trumps policy proposals, including building a wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border, he mentioned the
GOP nominee by name only once.
Cruzs defiance ripped open party
divisions anew, on

Cruzs decision was

You have nominated a man for president who never quits, Pence said.
Until now, hes had to do it all by himself against all odds but this week, with
this united party, hes got backup.
Trumps campaign had hoped Pences
address would quiet Republican doubts
about Trump. Unlike Trump, Pence is
an experienced politician, favorite of
conservatives and ally of party leaders.

Ted Cruz said you

tion there is only
one candidate who will uphold the

It was unclear why Trumps campaign
invited Cruz to speak in a headlining role, no less without getting
him to agree to an endorsement. The
decision was sure to spark a new round
of second guessing about the campaigns management of the convention
and preparedness for a bruising general
election against Democrat Hillary
Clinton.
Trump did get a boost from
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, one of
the 16 Republicans whose White House
dreams were vanquished during the primary.
The chief investigator in a National Transportation Safety

Board probe into the fatal 2010 pipeline explosion in San
Bruno testified at PG&Es criminal trial in San Francisco
Wednesday that he believes the utility misled him.
Investigator Ravindra Chhatre was the final witness called
by federal prosecutors after five weeks of trial before a jury in
the court of U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson.
The question about misleading was the last query posed by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hallie Hoffman at the end of three
hours of testimony by Chhatre.
Do you believe that PG&E misled you? she asked.
Yes, Chhatre answered.
Chhatre also said he believed PG&E officials hadnt been
fully truthful in answering NTSB data requests, even though
PG&E had promised, as a party in the investigation, to
respond to all requests and not to withhold information.
It is important to have accurate information about
pipelines, he said, because if the information isnt accurate,
youre endangering people.
One of 13 counts faced by PG&E in the trial is obstructing
the NTSB probe, and Chhatres testimony was focused on that
charge.
The other 12 charges are counts of violating the U.S.
Pipeline Natural Gas Safety Acts requirements for pipeline
record-keeping and maintenance for Line 132, the high-pressure transmission pipeline that exploded in San Bruno, and
several other Peninsula and East Bay lines.
If convicted of all counts, PG&E could be fined $562 million.
Eight people died, 66 were injured and dozens of houses
were destroyed and damaged in the explosion and ensuing fire
on Sept. 9. 2010.
The NTSB concluded in a report issued in August 2011 that
the cause was a defectively welded seam in a pipeline segment
that was installed in 1956, incorrectly listed as seamless in
PG&&E records and not properly tested or repaired.
But Henderson has barred prosecutors from arguing during
the trial that PG&Es errors caused the explosion. In a pretrial ruling, he said that although the San Bruno accident is relevant to all the charges, its cause is not an element of any of
the 13 counts.
During Chhatres testimony, PG&E lawyer Margaret Tough
frequently objected that Hoffmans questions violated the pretrial order, but Henderson usually overruled the objections and
allowed Chhatre to answer.
Chhatre will be cross-examined by PG&E attorneys on
Thursday.
It was not clear Wednesday whether PG&E will present any
defense witnesses after Chhatre steps down from the stand.
After the jury left for the day, prosecutors told Henderson that
defense attorneys have not given them the three-day advance
notice required by the judge for any witnesses.
PG&E attorney Steven Bauer said he may need to call federal and state regulatory officials to authenticate certain documents.
Chhatre also testified about an April 6, 2011, letter sent to
him by PG&E executive William Hayes. That letter, cited in
the obstruction charge in the 2014 grand jury indictment of
PG&E, said that an earlier letter sent by PG&E in Feb. 22,
2011, was transmitted in error.

New technique can picture

synapses in living brains
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON The brains

nerve cells communicate by firing
messages to each other through
junctions called synapses, and
problems with those connections
are linked to disorders like
Alzheimers and epilepsy. Now
Yale University researchers have
developed a way to picture synapses in living brains.
The
technique
reported
Wednesday, using PET scans, is
highly experimental but it raises
the possibility of one day monitoring synapse function in some
common diseases.
A healthy human brain harbors
trillions of synapses, a number
that changes over a lifetime.
Early in life, the brain prunes
the many synapses between neurons so the right number is in each
region, a process that can go
wrong in disorders such as autism
or schizophrenia. Changes in the
density of synapses may signal
where epilepsy seizures originate.
Later in life, synapse loss is associated with Alzheimers disease.

But measuring synapses has
required autopsies, or occasional
attempts during brain surgery.
To
find a non-invasive
approach, the Yale-led team developed a radioactive compound,
called a tracer, that is injected into
the body and binds with a particular protein that is found in the
brains synapses. The idea: During
a PET scan, those synapses appear
lit up against dark, synapse-free
areas of the brain.
Animal testing confirmed the
tracer was targeting synapses.
The research team then mapped
the density of synapses in the
brains of 10 healthy volunteers
and three patients with a form of
epilepsy. Compared to the healthy
brains, the technique revealed lost
synapses in the epilepsy-affected
regions of those patients brains,

Translational Medicine.

is not only part of normal brain
development but that also may be
involved in several neuropsychiatric diseases, said Dr. Peter
Herscovitch, who directs PET
scanning at the National Institutes
of Healths Clinical Center and

Much more work is needed to
make the tracer last longer in the
brain, a key if its ever to be of use
to doctors, cautioned Yale radiology professor Richard Carson, the
studys senior author. But even
though it starts disappearing
quickly, he said its a good tool to

Authorities: Kansas officers

shooting death not an ambush

CDC probing possible first Zika

case from U.S. mosquito bite
By Jennifer Kay
MIAMI Health officials in Florida are

investigating whether the Zika infection of
a woman in the Miami area could be the first
transmission of the virus from a mosquito
bite in the continental United States.
Lab tests confirmed the Zika infection,
according to statements from the U. S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and Floridas Department of Health.
Health officials said the case had no
apparent links to recent travel outside the
country. They did not immediately respond
Wednesday to questions about ruling out
other methods of transmission, such as sex.
The patient is an adult woman who lives
in Miami-Dade County, according to a
health official familiar with the case who
wasnt authorized to reveal details beyond
the statements of the agencies involved,
and thus spoke on condition of anonymity.
No other details about her case were
released.
The White House reported in a news
release Wednesday that President Barack
Obama had spoken by phone with Florida
Gov. Rick Scott regarding the new Zika
case. The President noted during the call that
besides the $2 million that the CDC already
provided to Florida, the agency anticipates
awarding Florida another $5.6 million in
Zika funding through a grant this week.

More than 1,300 Zika infections have
been reported in the U.S., none involving
bites from local mosquitoes; 14 of these
were sexually transmitted and one lab worker was stuck with a contaminated needle.
Miami-Dade County has the most confirmed infections in Florida 89, but so far
all have involved someone who traveled
outside the U.S. mainland to areas with Zika
outbreaks, such as Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Health officials predicted the virus would
reach U.S. mosquitoes this summer and have
mobilized to keep Zika from spreading
beyond isolated clusters of cases.
According to a CDC response plan, health
officials would want to see more than just
one unexplained case before declaring that
someone has been infected by a mosquito
bite in the continental United States.
The plan suggests there should be two or
more cases within a 1-mile area, in people
who do not live together, who did not have
sex with Zika-infected people, and who did
not recently travel to countries with Zika
outbreaks.
Evidence of the virus in mosquitoes captured in the same areas also might help
investigators declare Zika is spreading, but
short of that, it might be difficult to determine with certainty that mosquito transmission has occurred.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. The fatal shooting of a Kansas City, Kansas, police officer
was not part of a planned ambush, but the
work of another criminal trying to evade
arrest, authorities said Wednesday.
Police Chief Terry Zeigler said during a
news conference that authorities have two
young men in custody, but declined to give
details about possible charges. The department is working with prosecutors and
planned to present the case to them hopefully later today, Zeigler said, though the
Wyandotte County district attorneys office
said charges were not expected Wednesday.
While the attack isnt part of the recent
string of shootings of police in the U.S.,
Zeigler said the hate against police must
stop.
This crime does not fit into the national
narrative of planned attacks against law
enforcement officers, but it does fit the narrative when it comes to the fact that words
matter. The hate and anti-police speech has
got to stop because the consequences are

real, said Zeigler, who paused briefly to
compose himself at the news conference.
Capt. Robert Melton was by himself
searching for a suspect in a drive-by shooting when he drove up to someone who
matched that persons description just
before 2 p.m. Tuesday. Before the 46-yearold could get out of his vehicle, he was shot
several times through his passenger-side
window, the chief said, adding that the
department was reviewing its procedures.
Mayor Mark Holland also said it doesnt
appear that Meltons death was a planned
ambush against police and that the death is
another example of another criminal trying to escape arrest.
Melton was a 17-year veteran of the
department. He had also served in the
Kansas Army National Guard and was
deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan before he
retired in 2012, according to the guard.
Melton had also been awarded several military honors, including the Bronze Star
Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal
with oak leaf cluster.

Defense, foreign
ministers to plan
steps against IS
By Lolita C. Baldor
WASHINGTON Defense and foreign

ministers from more than 30 nations gathered Wednesday to plan the next steps in the
fight against the Islamic State group and to
determine what more they can do as the
fights for key cities in Iraq and Syria move
forward.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter met with his
counterparts on Wednesday to discuss how
they can accelerate the campaign and build
on some of the momentum, particularly in
Iraq. The meeting comes as Iraqi security
forces, aided by the coalition, are preparing
to encircle and eventually attempt to retake
the key northern city of Mosul.
The meeting of defense ministers at Joint
Base Andrews just outside Washington,
D.C., is the fourth time that Carter has convened an anti-Islamic State coalition meeting. Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook
said Carter will talk about the military cam-
paign and how it can be accelerated.

Secretary of State John Kerry was hosting
a separate conference at the State
Department Wednesday to try to raise at
least $2 billion from donor nations to help
Iraq as it takes territory from the Islamic
State group.
This is a cause that truly deserves a firm
and generous commitment from everybody, Kerry said. The money will go to
humanitarian aid for displaced people, demining, immediate help to recently liberated
communities and the people returning to
them as well as medium-to long-term reconstruction and development assistance. The
U.N. estimates that there are currently 10
million Iraqis in need of assistance and that
number is likely to exceed 13 million by
years end.
On Thursday, Kerry will host a joint meeting of defense and foreign ministers in the
counter-IS coalition. They are expected to
talk about the coordination of political and
military efforts, including counter-terrorist

financing, combating the flow of foreign
fighters, and the stabilization of cities and
towns that have been freed from Islamic
State control.
We are succeeding on the ground in Iraq
and Syria but we have a lot of work to do,
said Brett McGurk, the presidents special
representative to the counter-IS coalition.
This is an enormous challenge that will be
with us for years to come.
He told reporters that the situation in

Libya and a rise in the number of foreign
fighters there will be one major focus of the
meeting on Thursday.
Libya is incredibly complicated to say
the least, he said, noting that until six
months ago the country was without a functioning central government. We have
some momentum, the discussion will be
how to build on this momentum.
Refugee teen in German train attack seemed to be adjusting

By Kirsten Grieshaber,
David Rising and David McHugh
OCHSENFURT, Germany By all

accounts, the 17-year-old Afghan behind an
ax-and-knife rampage aboard a commuter
train in Germany seemed to be quickly inte-
grating and adapting to life in Germany

until something, possibly the death of a
friend back home, prompted him to radicalize and turn on the country that took him in.
Five people were wounded in the attack
late Monday near Wuerzburg, including four
members of a Hong Kong family who were
on the train and a woman walking her dog
outside. Two remained in critical condition

Wednesday, and Interior Minister Thomas
de Maiziere said it wasnt clear if they will
survive.
The attacker, whose name hasnt been
released by authorities, was killed by
police.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility
for the attack and posted a video in which
the teen waved a knife and referred to himself as a soldier of the Islamic State.
During the attack, witnesses said he yelled
Allahu akbar, Arabic for God is great.
The teen was one of about 60,000 unaccompanied minors who came into Germany
last year amid a flood of 1 million migrants.
Authorities say such young people are particularly traumatized and in need of help, but
also vulnerable to radicalization by Islamic
extremists.
He wasnt on authorities radar, and people who knew him said he seemed to be fitting in. He played soccer with the locals and
had an internship at a local bakery, a grow-
ing command of the German language and a

new home with a foster family outside the
serene Bavarian town of Ochsenfurt.
He was a Sunni Muslim who went to
mosque only on holidays, but prayed regularly at home.
He always seemed relaxed, pleasant, he
smiled, he was completely unobtrusive, in
the best sense, said Simone Barrientos,
52, who lived down the road from the boys
refugee home and belongs to a group of volunteers that helps refugees in Ochsenfurt.
I would see him around, we exchanged
perhaps a couple of words, she said.
Barrientos said people who interacted
with him are at a loss to explain what happened.
With all these young people, you have
to assume trauma. To do anything else
would be naive, she said.
Perhaps people who have been traumatized develop different strategies, and in his
case, his strategy was probably to keep
things close to his chest.

Turkey declares three-month state of emergency

By Suzan Fraser
and Christopher Torchia
ANKARA, Turkey Turkeys

president on Wednesday declared a
three-month state of emergency
following a botched coup attempt,
declaring he would rid the military
of the virus of subversion and
giving the government sweeping
powers to expand a crackdown that
has already included mass arrests
and the closure of hundreds of

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
who was accused of autocratic conduct before the insurrection, said
the measure would counter threats

French workers get fewer protections under new law

By Angela Charlton
PARIS French workers lost

some of their famed labor protections Wednesday, as the government tries to keep up with the global economy by weakening union
powers and giving employers more
freedom to fire people and lengthen
their hours.
It was a bitter victory for
President Francois Hollande. The
bill unleashed months of violent
protests and tore apart his Socialist

Party, and the government had to
force it through Parliament without
a vote. And conservative critics say
it doesnt go far enough and wont
make a difference. At Paris
Republique plaza, the nucleus of the
protest movement, a couple dozen
die-hards remained Wednesday amid
tourists, drinkers and vagrants. A
26-year-old named Adele said their
failed fight against the law was
just one of the struggles. ... Now
weve learned to lose one.
Key things in the new law

35-HOUR WORKWEEK
The bill formally maintains the 35-hour
workweek, but allows companies to organize
alternative working time.Workers would be able
to put in a 46-hour workweek, and up to 12-hour
shifts, during a temporary period. In cases of
exceptional circumstances, employees could
work up to 60 hours a week. The changes are
aimed at allowing companies to adapt to
business booms and off-peak periods. One
measure allows some workers to give up days
off in exchange for higher salaries.
WEAKEN SOME UNION POWERS

The most sensitive part of the reform is a measure
allowing businesses not to follow industry-wide

union agreements if they have their own specific
company deal instead as long as it is
negotiated with union representatives.
Lawmakers compromised on some aspects of
this measure, but labor unions still fear companies
will use it to exploit their workers.
EASE LAYOFFS
Shedding workers is complex in France and cited
as a big reason employers hesitate to hire people
on long-term contracts. The bill spells out more
clearly the motives allowing layoffs in businesses
of less than 300 employees in case of financial
difficulties such as a drop in orders, or lower
revenue for a certain number of quarters. The

idea is to limit lawsuits from fired employees and
create more flexibility for businesses.
RIGHT TO DISCONNECT
While some worker protections were reduced in
the law, one 21st-century protection was added:
The law aims at helping employees apply their
right to disconnect. Companies of more than
50 people would need to negotiate a charter of
good conduct with union representatives. The
text would detail the hours, usually in the evening
and over the weekend, when employees are not
expected to be connected to their digital tools,
from emails to smartphones and laptops.

denied sweep of Houston
World of Joe D baseball at a crossroads

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the Joe DiMaggio League consisting

of just 18 teams throughout the Bay Area, the
title Joe DiMaggio League World Series is
something of a misnomer.
The world of Joe DiMaggio baseball a
summer league for ages 15-19, including
high school and first-year college players
has traditionally been confined to
California, but used to be much more farreaching. With teams once located as far
north as Fort Bragg and as far south as San

Carlos, and even a six-team division in
Reno, more than 50 teams composed the Joe
DiMaggio League during its golden age.
As the Joe DiMaggio League winds down its
50th anniversary season the Joe D World
Series opens Thursday at the Veterans Home of
California-Yountville the once mighty epicenter of Bay Area summer baseball has fallen
on hard times. Strained by the demands of
travel ball teams which have become a bastion for the elite baseball talent across the
nation, Joe D teams are struggling to draw not
just top talent, but in many cases enough

players and coaches to merely field teams.
With teams folding becoming an annual
occurrence, Joe D saw two more teams drop
out at the beginning of this season. Both
Napa Valley and San Carlos folded, with San
Carlos absence causing the two Peninsula
divisions formerly North and South to
consolidate into one seven-team Peninsula
Division.
Now, as the league has dwindled down to
three divisions, the mere future of Joe D baseball is doubt.
We go a year at a time now, Joe D vice

president Carlos Roman said. Fifty years is
great. Were hopeful this can go on
because I think its a good place for high
school kids to play.
Roman has been involved with the Joe
DiMaggio League nearly since its inception.
The league was founded by Tom Lara and Carl
Vallero in 1967 as a way for high school
players to continue playing through the summer. Roman began his three-year playing

49ers not only

NFLteam with
QB questions
By Barry Wilner
One of the last things an NFL

team needs when it enters training
camp is uncertainty at quarterback.
They all want an Aaron Rodgers,
Eli Manning or Cam Newton
behind center.
Yet six clubs have major questions about their QB situation.
Heres a look:
San Francisco 49ers

In 2012, Colin Kaepernick was
the answer in San Francisco. His
dynamic style, speed and versatility were the rage of the NFC.
Now, hes fighting for a job he
lost to journeyman Blaine Gabbert
in 2015.
New coach Chip Kellys offense
could use the flair and unpredictability Kaepernick can bring.
It cant afford the bad decisions
and turnovers that plagued him
recently.
Kelly promises no rash decisions.
Its going to be won on the
field, Kelly said. Its not going
to be won because we have a
timetable.
Denver Broncos
You dont replace a Peyton
Manning, not even one struggling
at the end of his brilliant career.
And all the consternation in
Denver about
Von
Millers
contract
had
pushed the QB
quandary aside a
bit.
Still, its a
huge issue, particularly with
Mark Sanchez the Broncos
opting to let
Brock Osweiler walk away to
Houston in free agency.
So Gary Kubiak and John Elway
must figure out if Mark Sanchez
can avoid the big mistakes that
have plagued his career. Or
whether top pick Paxton Lynch,
for whom Denver traded up in the
draft, can make the mammoth leap.
Or if the only holdover, Trevor
Siemian, has the tools.
The only way that they establish themselves and take the team
over is if you somehow give them
the opportunity to do that,
Kubiak said. As a coach, if youre
making decisions before they ever
step on the field and dont give
them equal opportunity to prove
themselves, I dont believe in
that.

Linsanity returns to NYC this time, Brooklyn

By Michael Scotto
NEW YORK Jeremy Lin has officially

returned to the New York area. He captivated the
city in his Linsanity era when he averaged 24
points, nine assists and four rebounds for the
Knicks during a 10-game stretch in February
2012.
Lin comes to Brooklyn as the starting point
guard for the Nets. Hes reuniting with coach
Kenny Atkinson, the former Knicks assistant
coach who helped him develop.
The way I was looking at free agency is
kind of when you invest in a start up compa-
ny, Lin said. You dont

necessarily look at the
product right then and
there at that moment. That
is a big part of it, but
youre kind of betting on
the founder a lot of times.
Youre betting on what
that person is capable of
doing because sometimes
Jeremy Lin
as you go through the
process the final product is going to change a
lot and thats very common in start ups. I feel
like thats kind of like how I saw this. Im betting on certain people. Im betting on Kenny
(Atkinson). Im betting on Sean (Marks). Im

betting on myself. Im betting on Brook
Lopez.
Lin wants to prove he can be a full-time starting point guard as he was during Linsanity.
Thats a huge thing for me because in free
agency I kind of said I want to see how great I
can become, Lin said. Ive played a lot of different roles, Ive sacrificed for a lot of teams
Ive been on in the past. Ive taken smaller
roles to try to help the team succeed. Now I
have that chance to take a much bigger role and
be a much bigger part.
Lin is joined by fellow free agent addition,
Anthony Bennett. The former 2013 No. 1
overall pick is joining his fourth team in four

seasons.
I think because hes been torn down a little
bit and lost his confidence, I think in his case
weve got to build him up again, Atkinson
said. Really narrow down what his role is
going to be and then build his confidence back
up.
Other Brooklyn offseason additions include
Greivis Vasquez, Luis Scola, Trevor Booker,
Randy Foye, Caris LeVert, Justin Hamilton and
Joe Harris.
Despite the new additions, general manager
Sean Marks cautioned more moves could still
happen.

Oakland blanked by Astros

OAKLAND Doug Fister pitched seven

innings and Jose Altuve continued his torrid
hitting as the Houston Astros defeated the
Oakland Athletics 7-0 on Wednesday.
After losing three of his last four decisions, Fister (10-6) took matters into his
own hands, throwing seven innings of fourhit ball in which he struck out five and
walked two.
The As, who had won four of five since the
All-Star break and took their second straight
series, failed to advance a runner past second
base against Fister.
They moved just three runners into scoring position (one on a two-base error).
Altuve was 2 for 3 with two walks.
Baseballs leading hitter is 12 for his last 17
in his last four games.
The Astros, who had lost three of their previous four, scored two runs in the second
with two outs and nobody on base when five
batters reached safely against As starter
Daniel Mengden (1-5).
Mengden struck out five and allowed three
runs, five hits and five walks in five
innings. He recovered from a shaky start,
blanking the Astros over the last three

innings.
Fister is 9-3 over his
last 15 starts going back
to May 1. The Astros are
12-3 over that stretch.
Jake Marisnick and
George Springer each had
two hits including a double and Jason Castro
added a run-scoring triple

for 10 hits.
Josh Reddick had two of Oaklands four
hits and Daniel Coulombe allowed no hits in
two shutout innings in relief of Mengden.
Bad starts
The Astros and As rank at or near the bottom in virtually every meaningful offensive
category out of the designated hitters spot.
The Astros .186 and the As .205 batting
averages going into Wednesday were the
leagues two worst. The As DHs were tied
with the Chicago White Sox with the fewest
home runs (8) and alone at the bottom with
33 RBIs. Houstons DHs ranked third- and
fourth-worst in the league with 38 RBIs and

11 home runs.
Roster move
The As recalled utilityman Arismendy
Alcantara from Triple-A Nashville before
Wednesdays game and in a corresponding
move optioned LHP Dillon Overton to
Nashville.

pitches into his last start on Sunday after a

Up next
Athl eti cs : RHP Sonny Gray (4-8, 5.12)
snapped a career-worst seven-game losing
streak in his most recent start and will hope
to build on that momentum on Thursday
against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gray is 2-1
with a 3.11 ERA in six career starts against
the Rays and 2-2 with a 7.01 ERA in five
starts against the Eastern Division this year.
Cain tagged as Giants lose 5th straight

BOSTON Giants starter Matt Cain said

he felt fine.
The results certainly didnt look that way.
Cain gave up three homers in just 2 1/3
innings two of them to Hanley Ramirez
as the Boston Red Sox completed a two-game
interleague sweep over San Francisco, 11-7
on Wednesday night.
Making his first start after three rehab outings and missing 43 games with right hamstring injury, Cain retired the first three batters of the game before giving up three runs in
the second and two more in the third.
Ramirez chased him with his second tworun homer of three he had on the night
in the third. Travis Shaw had a solo shot in
the second.
It felt like it was coming out (of my hand)
fine, just had some errant ones, said Cain (16). I had a lot of positives. I had some breaking balls I threw pretty good and some fastballs I threw pretty good.
But he said one thing was certain.
I made two mistakes right down the middle
to Hanley, Cain said.
This week, the Giants made their first visit
Red Sox 11, Giants 7

to Fenway Park since
2007 and just their second
since the start of interleague play. They have
never beaten the Red Sox
at the century-old ballpark, with their last win at
Fenway coming as the
New York Giants against
the Boston Braves in the
Matt Cain
1912 World Series.
He looked good the first inning, stuff
looked good. Just couldnt keep the ball out
of the middle of the plate, manager Bruce
Bochy said of Cain. The long ball hurt us
again tonight. We just cant seem to keep the
ball in the ballpark.
Ramirez drove in a career-high six runs and
the Red Sox held on even though newly
acquired starter Drew Pomeranz struggled to
protect an eight-run lead.
Boston won for the eighth time in nine
games and moved into first place in the AL
East, a half-game ahead of the Baltimore
Orioles. The Red Sox had five homers in the
game Sandy Leon added a solo shot after
getting two in a 4-0 win Tuesday.

Ramirez also reached base when he was hit
by a pitch in the fourth, glowering at Giants
reliever Albert Suarez before the umpire quickly warned both benches. With the crowd
chanting Ramirezs name for his final at-bat
in the eighth, he grounded out weakly to the
pitcher.
Ramirez began the day with eight homers
this season before connecting for his first
three-homer game.
The major league record for home runs in a
game is four. Its been done 16 times, most
recently by Josh Hamilton for Texas in 2012.
Matt Barnes (3-3) was awarded the victory
as the first effective Red Sox pitcher, coming
on with a one-run lead and the bases loaded in
the sixth and pitching out of it.
Pomeranz, who was acquired last week for
top pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza,
lasted just three innings, allowing five runs
on eight hits and two walks.
The crowd of 38,201 was a sellout and the
highest of the season for the Red Sox. It was
boosted by many in Giants orange, matching
the 1978-82 throwback jerseys worn by the
team; Boston wore the tops from its 1975
World Series team.
Hammel adds
potato chips to
diet to combat
muscle cramps
CHICAGO Jason Hammel says potato

chips have helped end chronic cramping
issues. Now the Chicago Cubs right-hander
has enough salty snacks to last the rest of the
season.
Hammel was greeted at his Wrigley Field
locker Wednesday morning by a 6-foot high
stack of cardboard boxes
filled with chips. They
were
a
gift
of
Pennsylvania-based Utz.
Thats classic, a smiling Hammel said. I
should be well hydrated.
Hammel left his July 7
start against Atlanta in the
sixth inning when his
Jason Hammel right thumb cramped up
on a humid day. Hammel
has had cramping issues in the past, and his
doctor told him potato chips would help.
I looked at him like he had 10 eyes,
Hammel said, before it started to make sense.
Potatoes are obviously a good source of
potassium, Hammel said. Carbs, youre
burning off energy there. And salt, obviously.
Its not the breakfast or type of meal of champions, but there are quirky things for everybody.
The 33-year-old said he munched on sea salt
and vinegar chips between innings Saturday
in his last start. He outdueled Yu Darvish by
allowing one run and three hits with seven
strikeouts in a 4-1 victory over Texas. And he
had no cramps.
A new diet was born.
What male doesnt look for a chance to eat
more potato chips? Cubs manager Joe
Maddon said.
A sheepish Hammel, who is 8-5 with a 3.34
ERA, leaned on the five boxes of chips at his
locker and insisted he wouldnt stray from an
offseason conditioning program thats left
him leaner and stronger in 2016.
The misconception is all I do is eat chips,
he said.
So dont expect Hammel to morph into the
look of hefty Mets right-hander Bartolo
Colon, whom the Cubs were to face
Wednesday.
Hes probably never met a potato chip he
didnt like, either, Maddon said.

MLB teams set Gold medals? Not really

spending record
on draft bonuses
By Tim Reynolds
By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK Major league

teams have spent a record $267.95
million on signing bonuses for
players drafted last month, a 7.4
percent increase from last years
final total of $249.38 million.
Spending initially declined when
restraints were put in place ahead of
the 2012 draft, but has gradually
risen under the five-year labor contract with the players association.
Teams spent $234 million in the
2011 draft on amateurs residing in
the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico. The total dropped to $209
million in the first year of
restraints, went up to $220 million
the following year, then rose to
$224 million in 2014 and $249 million in 2015, according to figures
compiled by Major League
Baseball.

New York teams up with
A-Rod, MLB to build academy
NEW YORK New York state is
teaming up with Major League
Baseball and others including
Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez to
create a youth baseball and softball academy in the Bronx.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo
announced the $11.25 million initiative Wednesday.
He says the academy at
Roberto Clemente State Park
will immediately begin serving
the clubs that played the worst the

year before access to the best talent.
The pseudo-slotting system has
done away with this nonsense that
used go on where the best player
would get picked 21st because he
had demands that clubs didnt think
theyd be able to meet, and I think
thats been a really, really important
change.
Teams draft in the reverse order of
their record the previous year.
Baseballs labor contract that began
in 2012 assigned each club a bonus
pool the sum of the recommended
draft bonuses for a teams selections
in the first 10 rounds.
For players selected in the 11th
round and beyond, portions of signing bonuses above $100,000 count
against the signing bonus pool. The
slot values rise each year based on
industry revenue growth and cannot
decrease.
Clubs that exceed their pools are
assessed a 75 percent tax on the
amount over from 0-5 percent, then
additionally would be penalized
with the loss of a first-round pick
the next year if they are more than 5
percent over. No team has exceeded
5 percent in the five seasons of the
system.
1, 500 young ballplayers.
The facility will be funded by
$6.5 million from the state, $4
million from Major League
Baseball and the Major League
Baseball Players Association and
$750,000 from Rodriguez.
The new field will be named Alex
Rodriguez Field.
Baseball Commissioner Robert
Manfred Jr. says the academy will
establish the next generation of
New Yorks baseball legacy.
Rodriguez says the park will
give kids a chance to dream big
from the field as well as in the
stands.
Gold medals are the ultimate

prize in Olympic sport.
Theyre also a misnomer.
Theres no such thing as a
gold medal, not at these upcoming Rio Olympics and really,
not ever. Second-place finishers
get silver medals and oddly
enough, so do the winners, albeit
theirs are plated in a tiny amount
of gold.
That factoid caught even some of
those who were put in charge of
making the 5,000 or so medals
needed for these Rio Games by surprise.
Our operators and some of our
developers had the same question, said Victor Hugo Berbert,
who managed the medal-making
process and was part of a team of
about 100 people at the Brazilian
Mint who were part of the project.
We can produce medals out of pure
gold. But we know how expensive
they are. So gold medals ... are not
exactly pure gold.
Theyre barely gold at all.
The medals given to champions
at these Olympics will weigh just
over a pound, so to make them
entirely from gold would have cost
about $23,500 in material, each.
By taking the silver medals and
then plating them in a tiny amount
of Brazilian gold, the actual value
of the metal inside those metals is
about $600.
Not that the athletes will mind.

WADA reinstates Rio Olympic

The lab was shuttered last month

Canadian team, is everything.

Though there are a number of
exceptions, its not uncommon
for the medal-making process to
fall to the host countrys national
mint. That was the case this year,
with Berbert saying it took about
two years for the entire process to
play itself out starting with discussions on design with the host
organizing committee, sketches,
ideas, budgeting and ultimately
approval from the International
Olympic Committee.
The medals for the Olympics are
done. Work is ongoing on the
medals for the Paralympics, which
follow in Brazil later this summer.
We needed to develop the whole
concept of the medal. We worked a
lot with the committee about the
art, about the design, about the
materials, Berbert said. We tried
to catch what they wanted to show
in a Olympic medal and we took
our experience, our know-how in
producing medals and turn that
into what they want. The art came
from the committee, but our team
needed to sculpt them.
The gold is certified to have a
certain amount of purity and is
considered very high quality. The
silver and bronze medals (and by
the way, theyre not really bronze)
are largely made from recycled
materials, which is a source of
pride for the team that Berbert represents. Sustainability, he said,
was an important goal for the
team.
The silver for both the first- and

second-place medals was culled in
part from mirrors and plates. The
bronze medals are made in part
from the same copper that goes
into Brazilian coin, so the mint
had plenty of that to use in the
Olympic project. About 40 percent of what was needed was
already on hand when the process
started.
Even some of the plastic used in
the ribbons that will be attached to
the medals is recycled.
Its something we dreamed of,
Berbert said. When they called
us, we adored the project. We really wanted to do this thing.
The other obvious advantage of
using the mint to make the medals
is security. And every precaution
is being taken to ensure that nothing goes wrong now.
The mint will store the medals
and basically deliver them to the
organizing committee on a day-today basis the medals that will
be awarded on a given day will be
kept safe as can be until needed.
We have special dates with the
committee where they want them
delivered, Berbert said. There are
logistics on how to transfer them
to them ... until then, we keep the
medals in a safe room. But all the
Olympic medals are packaged now,
identified by the event and competition, all organized and ready to
be delivered.
Ready to be won, too.

Hermann pitches San Mateo White Sox to win in playoff opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Palomino Baseball League playoff

season opened Wednesday with San Mateo
White Sox starting pitcher David Hermann
turning in a near-flawless performance.
Hermann led the White Sox to a 6-0 win
over the San Jose PAL Giants at Valley
Christian High School with a one-hit
shutout. The right-hander faced the minimum 21 batters, with the lone blemish a
fifth-inning single by
San Jose pitcher Ernesto
Fernandez.
White Sox manager

Hermann had no-hit stuff
from the outset.

The White Sox (22-5 overall) rallied for
three runs in the second and added single
runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth.

In the second, the White Sox sent nine
batters to the plate. Alex Athanacio pushed
home the first run with a bases-loaded walk.
Then Zach Avila and Willie Reader produced
back-to-back RBI singles.
Avila and Andrew Abbott had two hits
apiece, while David Lopez paced all hitters
with three. Reader totaled two RBIs in the
game.

In Romans first year as a coach, his South

that would go on to get drafted by major league
teams, including pitcher Rich Bordi who went
on to play in the Major Leagues for nine seasons.
Now, its rare to even see projectable college talent across a Joe DiMaggio roster.

Zero, Hughes said. I have two guys that

Like many coaches invested in Joe D baseball even during the modern travel-ball era,
Hughes is connected through the league by
generations of baseball tradition. His father
Mike used to manage the Pacifica Joe D team,

Hughes has since relocated to the

Hughes brother David is also a coach for

I dont want to see it go away, Hughes said.

My brothers played for this team. My dad has

The top two finishers of the area tournament advance to the West Zone tournament
in Compton at the Urban Youth Academy.
From there, the Palomino League season
concludes in August with the Palomino
League World Series at Santa Claras
Washington Park.
Current Pacifica Gamecocks manager Bryan
Powers has found an interesting counterbalance to the travel-ball phenomenon.
In his third year at the helm of the
Gamecocks, Powers has returned the team to
prominence. Entering the Joe D World Series
with a Friday opener against South San
Francisco Pacifica looks to repeat as champions after capturing the World Series title
last year. He also played for two championship teams in 2004 and 06.
This year, Powers touts another packed roster, with many returning players from last
years title-winning team, including Fridays
Game 1 starting pitcher Ray Falk, who is
coming off his freshman season at Skyline
College.
The youngest player on Pacificas roster,
though, is slugger Elijah Ricks. Coming off
his freshman season at St. Francis-Mountain
View, Ricks made the unconventional choice
to skip travel ball this summer and stay close
to home to play against older competition. He
previously played for the prestigious Zoots
Baseball travel team for three years.
I think hes gotten a ton of at-bats,
Powers said of Ricks summer season. Hes
gotten an opportunity to play every day in
center field or shortstop, and hes gotten a
chance to play against college pitchers.
Ricks was a huge get for Pacifica this season, but is unlikely to set a trend. Powers said
Ricks will likely return to the travel-ball circuit next summer. Powers, though, is committed to staying the course to keep Joe D relevant among local athletes.
The people who have been involved in
DiMaggio for a long time, we dont want this
league to die, Powers said. Its been around
for 50 years. So hopefully we can get the
teams like San Carlos, other teams that have
dropped off and get them rejuvenated.

Froome adds to lead as Zakarin wins Stage 17

FINHAUT-EMOSSON, Switzerland Ilnur

Zakarin won the first Alpine stage of the Tour
de France after using a late attack in the final
climb on Wednesday while race leader Chris
Froome increased his lead in the overall standings.
Zakarin was part of a breakaway that formed
early in the 184.5-kilometer (114.6-mile)
17th stage from Bern to the artificial lake of
Finhaut-Emosson in Switzerland.
After Rafal Majka and Jarlinson Pantano
moved away from the leading pack on the
descent of Col de la Forclaz, the Russian
cyclist caught them and launched a furious
attack on the last climb with 6.5 kilometers
left.
It was Zakarins first stage win at cyclings
biggest event.
This result is not a surprise for me, in the
first week I also tried to go for it, said Zakarin,
who fractured a collarbone earlier this year at
the Giro dItalia after crashing in a downhill.

and his fall from grace?
David Ortiz, the lovable Big Papi for the Boston Red Sox,
is 40 years old and planning to retire at the end of the season,
He has hit 23 home runs going into Wednesdays action. He has
previously been linked to PEDs.
Its to the point where you cant watch sports without wondering if that athlete is cheating. But why are some athletes given
a pass, while others are embraced?
Barry Bonds was once the most hated man in baseball, yet
Ortiz is feted everywhere he goes. Lance Armstrong was one of
the biggest cheaters and liars of all time and he has been
properly knocked off his pedestal, yet no one questions current
Tour de France leader, and two-time champion, Chris Froome in
a sport that has become synonymous with doping. Russian
Olympic athletes may not be allowed to compete, but a couple

with open arms. Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Jon
Jones and Brock Lesner both fail drug tests, but they remain two

stay with the best.

The stage started in Bern following the second and final rest day and featured two major
climbs in the final 30 kilometers: Col de la
Forclaz, a 13-kilometer climb with an average
gradient of 7.9 percent, and the brutal beyondcategory 10.4-kilometer ascent to the finish
line.
The day began with an early crash involving
Quintanas teammate Gorka Izaguirre, who was
forced to abandon with a suspected fractured
collarbone.
After several breakaway attempts, a group of
14 riders including world champion Peter
Sagan formed at the front of the race.
Froomes teammates did not chase and the leading pack built a 13-minute lead.
Majka and Pantano, who fought for the stage
victory last week in the Jura mountains after a
long breakaway, once again jumped out of the
pack on the descent and started the final climb
with a small lead of 30 seconds. Zakarin joined
them before launching his decisive move.
Zakarin, who was suspended in 2009 for two

years after testing positive for the forbidden
anabolic methandienone, finished 55 seconds
ahead of Pantano. Majka was third, 1:26 back.
Riding several minutes behind the breakaway riders, Richie Porte attacked from the yellow jersey group around two kilometers from
the finish before Froome accelerated.
Nairo Quintana was the only one able to follow the defending champions frenetic pace but
the Colombian climber cracked after a few hundred meters.
Froome and Porte who rode in support of
Froome at Team Sky before he joined BMC
this season crossed the finish line together.
Froome, the 2013 and 2015 champion at the
Tour, now leads Bauke Mollema by 2:27 overall. Adam Yates is third, 2:53 off the pace.
Quintana sits in fourth place, 3:27 behind his
British rival.
It was very difficult today because of the

won the Section 3 championship.
The fact is, BRS had just suffered a 5-1 loss to Foothill that
ended the Little League season for the Peninsula players. Yet
there the BRS players were, running around, throwing water on

fun they were having was almost comical, leading one parent to
comment, This is the happiest group of losers Ive ever seen.

NFL to hire chief

NEW YORK The NFL will be

THE DAILY JOURNAL
The new hire will replace Dr.

Elliot Pellman, who is retiring after
30 years in the league, and will have
expanded duties.
Pellman mostly played an administrative role that included communication with NFL clubs regarding
health and safety protocols.
Pellman was not a member of any
league medical committee. But much
of the early criticism of the NFL
regarding its handling of concussions was directed at Pellman, who
once famously downplayed links
between head trauma and football.
Pellman is a rheumatologist with
little expertise in head and brain
trauma research, but he was
involved in the formulation of the
NFLs concussion policies.

Goodell also told the teams that
the NFL must demonstrate strong
leadership on health and safety and
that our players and fans need to
trust in us.
In recognition of this priority
(on player health and safety) and the
increasing complexity of our work,
we intend to hire a highly credentialed physician to serve as Chief
Medical Officer and work in the
league office on a full-time basis,
Goodell wrote.
A search will begin this week and
will be conducted by a panel of
health and medical experts led by
Dr. Betsy Nabel, the leagues chief
health and medical adviser.
of the best any Jets QB has had.

Then he became a free agent seeking that one last, well-earned big
payday at age 35.
The Jets apparently have seen
little future with Fitz as their man,
even though they have a roster
built for now. The three alternate
choices are Geno Smith, Bryce
Petty, and second-round draft pick
Christian Hackenberg.

Strawberry beds get a boost from renovation

By Lee Reich
If you saw my strawberry bed, you might

think I dont like strawberries. The leaves
have been lopped off, some plants were
ripped out of the ground, and those that
remain are partially buried in dirt.
Its not a pretty sight.
But I do like strawberries, and what Ive
done to this bed is actually good for the
plants. I carry out this renovation, as it is
called, every year not long after gathering
the last berries for the season.
The short rest that June-bearing strawberry
plants naturally take after their harvest season helps them tolerate the more brutal
aspects of renovation. (Renovation is not
for everbearing strawberry varieties, which
bear again in late summer into fall, or dayneutral varieties, which offer berries pretty
much all season long.)
OFF WITH THEIR LEAVES

Over time, leaf diseases from wild strawberries and related plants can sneak into and
build up in a cultivated strawberry bed. The

first step in renovation, cutting off all the
plants leaves, helps keep such problems in
check. No leaves, no leaf diseases at least
until the leaves grow back, but then at least
any new infections must originate from outside the bed.
I cut the leaves with a scythe a supersharp

scythe and follow
up with a grass

beds as long as

set

enough so the crowns
of the plants, which are the shortened stems
from which the leaves arise, are not injured.
Healthy, new leaves begin to sprout soon

after renovation.
AWAY WITH EXCESS RUNNERS

Strawberry plants strew
themselves about by
means of runners,
which are horizontal
stems that develop
daughter
plants.
Those take root at
intervals along
their
lengths.

also fester in those dank conditions.

So after clipping off the leaves, I went
through my strawberry bed and thinned out
enough plants so that those remaining stood
about 8 inches apart. I selectively removed
the oldest plants, which become more susceptible to winter cold and less productive.
I leave well-positioned younger plants
that are in a row and far enough apart.
MULCH
That dirt under which I said my plants are
partially buried is not, incidentally, dirt. Its
compost, which I laid a half inch or so deep
over the whole bed, except right over the
plants. This compost dressing suppresses
weeds, feeds the plants, and keeps the strawberry crowns, which rise slightly in the soil
with age, protected from the elements.
The icing on the cake is a mulch of pine
needles on top of the compost. Equally suitable would be a mulch of wood shavings,
straw or any other weed-free, organic material. (The traditional straw mulch for strawberries is another hypothesized origin of the
word strawberry.)

FIRE
On Monday night, the San Mateo City
Council gave a nod of confidence that it
would support the concept and officials
with Belmont and Foster City will be asked
to approve similar letters of intent. Healy
estimated it could take at least 10 months
to iron out the details of how the JPA
should function, how much each city will
contribute financially and of course, how
to name the new organization.
San Mateo Mayor Joe Goethals said the
cities have a good relationship, pointing
to the fact that Foster City is a 25 percent
owner of their wastewater treatment plant
and the two share a school district.
Sharing fire services has a lot of advantages and the JPA is the best organizational structure, Goethals said. The public
will get great service and we will continue
to serve residents without regard for [city]
borders, Goethals said.
Healy noted finding something all three
cities can agree upon will be key to the new

departments success. He pointed to prior
attempts by San Carlos and Belmont to
share services, which ultimately fell apart
almost a decade ago when the two disagreed
over an estimated 3 percent of the pricing,
Healy said.
Foster City Mayor Herb Perez said hes
pleased the neighboring communities are
taking the next step.
I think the JPA has been a long time
coming and it was about finding critical
mass in cooperative cities; and we have
both, Perez said.
Emphasizing cost sharing has yet to be
determined, he noted the current breakdown
involves San Mateo being responsible for
its six stations, Foster City having two
stations and Belmont another two stations. Ultimately, pricing will likely be
split based on the amount of service provided, he said.
Since joining forces, San Mateo has
arguable saved as much as $600,000 a year,
Foster City another $400, 000 and
Belmont several hundred thousand dollars
as well, Healy said.
Theyve also been able to avoid any lay-
offs, as attrition has taken place naturally

as employees retire. Moving forward, most
of the savings have been achieved but the
agreement would help ensure such savings
continue into the future, Healy said.
Belmont Mayor Eric Reed said while the
council hasnt yet reviewed details, he supports the concept of permanently joining
forces.
Its all about making sure that the
things we have done to date to improve
service and reduce costs continue. Thats
really what this is all about, Reed said.
To institutionalize these savings while
maintaining service.
Healy agreed service levels would continue, noting staffing could be easier as
firefighters could be assigned to any of the
three cities 10 stations and many are
already familiar with the various neighborhood target areas.
The JPA will also allow employees to
keep their existing retirement programs,
which wouldnt have been possible had
San Mateo taken the lead city role a
model in which Foster City and Belmont
would dissolve their agencies and contract
with the larger entity for fire services.

But there are unique legal challenges San
Mateo must address if it wants to proceed.
First, consolidating the departments
through a JPA and offering a hybrid
retirement plan requires the state
Legislatures approval, according to a city
staff report. This has prompted state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, to propose Senate
Bill 24, which officials are hopeful will be
enacted in January.
San Mateo residents will also have a say,
as creating the new entity would require an
amendment to the citys charter. Although
city officials argue its just a cleanup of
existing language, a majority of voters
must approve the change in the November
election if the plans are to proceed on
schedule.
Healy emphasized the goal of the proposed system is to ensure quality emergency response services continues to be
provided at a fair price.
Its quacking like a duck, so we might as
well call it a duck, Healy said. A larger
organization is going to be more stable
and the level of customer service will continue to remain at a very high level, which
is really the ultimate purpose and goal.
Farms, McHugh said.

While much of todays focus is on
new tech companies along the Silicon
Valley Bayfront, McHugh said the agricultural industry on the coast is where
tradition intersects with innovation.
Some of these old farms are now
into high-tech processes. Ouroboros
[Farms] is all hydroponically grown in
water, no soil. Some of these are the
old farm meets new technology and the
others are, how can we eat healthier
and more sustainable, McHugh said.
We have certainly changed it over the
years to keep up with the industry and
what we have here.
Long-standing favorite stops include
Markegard Ranch, where grass-fed cattle roam on the familys large property
back dropped by pristine ocean views;
Harley Farms, where visitors can see
baby goats and how fresh cheese is
made; Oku Nursery, a 100-year-old family-owned flower farm; and much more.
McHugh said they changed the name
of the tour this year to better align with
its current offerings, while adding that
Pillar Point Harbor has been a destination for several years now. There, visitors can learn about sustainable fisheries and at various times of year, can
even buy a range of fresh offerings like
crab and salmon directly off the boats
of local fishermen.
You can literally have it on your
table an hour after it was caught. Thats
pretty impressive, and we have that
luxury here, McHugh said.
This year, the tour has five new additions, including the Half Moon Bay
History Associations Downtown
Tour, a guided walk where attendees
can learn about the rich history of the
quaint coastal town and see some of its
historic buildings. New farms that will
be featured this year include the educational HEAL Project, Ananda Valley
Farm, Miramar Farms and a recently
expanded Harley Farms Bunnies,
Berries and Secret Garden.
McHugh said the tour highlights
unique coastal businesses upon which
many rely, and is in line with Half
Moon Bay being an eco-tourist destination. Its also an opportunity for the
public to learn directly from knowledgeable pros.
This is a way to help our farms to
educate people about sustainable farming and about the flower industry,
McHugh said. A lot of us, probably
most of us, buy organic to a certain
extent. Whether its organic in
Safeway, or theyre going to Whole
Foods or New Leaf. These are relatively
small farms that are producing our food
and some of the new technology that is
being used in the bigger ones, like Bay
City and Rocket Farms, theyve won
environmental awards for.
Tick ets are $30 per person and must
be purchased in adv ance by 4 p.m.

Entertaining ideas for summer block parties

By Kim Cook
Graves, editor in chief at Martha Stewart

Living magazine. Hold street games, and
craft medals for the winners out of baked
clay, metallic paint and ribbon. (Instructions
can be found at www.alphamom.com , by
Cindy Hopper.)
If your party goes into the evening, set out
a bag of glow sticks or inexpensive flashlights, suggest the editors at www.coolmompicks.com . Theyre not just fun; they help
people see.
Theres never a bad season to reconnect

with neighbors at a block party. Some
neighborhoods get together at Halloween.
Others bring out the fire pits and snowball
shields when winter comes.
But summers long, lazy days make it
prime time for block parties.
Some tips for a fun and easy gathering with
neighbors:
FOOD
ORGANIZATION
Many towns require a consent form signed
by all the neighbors to hold an event, so
assign someone to round up signatures.
Invite firefighters and the police, too;
they might bring a vehicle for the kids to sit
in.
Danielle Blundell, senior home editor for
Family Circle magazine, says the best way
to wrangle a block party is digitally: Send
email invites. Keep track of the potluck
offerings and supplies using a master list at a
website like www.signupgenius.com.
Collect money for equipment rental and
other expenses via sites like Paypal or
Venmo.
But make sure less tech-savvy neighbors
are included, too.
At a block party in Evanston, Illinois,
someone made name tags for everyone with
their name and a photo of their house,
recalls one neighbor, Roxanne Went.
You can also have a block or hall party in
an apartment building. Take advantage of
public spaces like a rooftop or courtyard. You
might play up the number of the floor you
live on in the decor to give the gathering a
theme, suggests Blundell.
Summers long, lazy days make it prime time for block parties.
If youre lucky enough to have teenagers
on your block, consider hiring them to help
with clean up.
And with a party hashtag, everyone can
share photos of the festivities on social
media. Place a few signs around so people
know the tag. Or create a private storage file
on a site like Dropbox where photos can be
accessed after the party.
DECORATIONS
Janice Simonsen, a Philadelphian for the
past 15 years, says her community takes
block parties pretty seriously.
No block partys complete without white
lights strung from the rooftops of the little
brick row homes, she says. Theres chalk

art and beanbag toss for the kids. A big common food tent everyone brings their specialty and theres always one of the older
Italian men manning a grill. Someones
grandfather brings a gallon jug of homemade
wine.
Those of us creating new traditions might
consider a themed party.
Summer makes me think of camp, so why
not riff off that as your theme? says
Blundell, of Family Circle. She suggests
play tents for the younger set, relay races and
smores.
This summers Olympic Games in Brazil
could provide another theme, says Elizabeth
Put together simple decor and a fitting

menu around it, advises Graves. Her magazine offers recipes for easy finger food like
grilled skewers of meat or vegetables, and for
desserts, in a feature called What Can I
Bring?
Encourage everyone to bring favorite family recipes, Graves says.
This is something I grew up doing. My
mother used to make a chocolate Texas sheet
cake it was simple and delicious and people adored it, she says. The year she contemplated bringing something else, there
was near revolt!
If your gangs not into baking, consider
ice cream sundae-making.
You can reduce waste by providing
Sharpies to personalize plastic cups. Or if
youre eschewing plastic for glass, buy a
box of canning jars that can be personalized.
(Some label ideas are at www.minted.com.)
Keep bugs out of beverages by replacing
lids with muffin cups and fun straws.
And you can also use muffin liners as a little-bite holder for foods, Graves says. Pick
just a couple of colors to keep things cohesive. Label all foods, so those with sensitivities are aware of ingredients.
Right at Home: Tents take a stylish turn, indoors and out

By Kim Cook
Whether theyre providing cozy shelter

from the elements outdoors or top-secret
privacy in the playroom, a number of stylesavvy new tents put the fun in a functional structure.
Land of Nod has several tepees with
pizazz. Color-happy and neutral-toned cotton canvas comes in an array of stripes,
dots or dip-dye patterns, supported by easyto-assemble bamboo poles. Big comfy
cushions are available for some models.

(www.landofnod.com)
At Target, polyester fabric has a canvas
look; a Southwestern print in charcoal and
white would blend with lots of decor.
(www.target.com )
A starry night sky graces a tepee at
Wayfair. Several unadorned models can be
personalized by crafty kids with paint,
stamps, streamers and the like. (www.wayfair.com)
Pottery Barn has one for the sophisticated little camper, embellished with gold
metallic dots. A plain white tent is roomy

enough for sleepovers, and has a peek-out
window. (www.potterybarn.com)
Good design isnt relegated to just the
kiddie campers, though. Tents for adults and
families have creative patterns and hightech features.
Some are more suited to fair-weather outdoor activities like park picnics or music
festivals. But many are engineered for the
rigors of serious camping.
Field Candys a website for tents with personality. One looks like a giant wedge of
juicy watermelon. Another resembles the
splayed-out pages of a hardcover book.
Faux brick or wood tents fool the eye, and

so does one with a lush lawn photo-printed
on it. Flags from various countries are featured on others. You can imagine yourself
hunkered down on the side of the
Matterhorn in a tent printed with a realistic
image of the Swiss Alps. (www.fieldcandy.com)
Camping with a crowd? Consider the
London Underground Tube tent, which
sleeps 16.
A smaller gang could snuggle up in the
VW Bus tent, a full-size replica of
Volkswagens
iconic camper van.

center, officials are hoping to create a

new, larger facility that could support a
range of visitors from preschoolers to
seniors.
Although the current single-story,
46, 000-square-foot building underwent a substantial remodel in 1998 and
a senior wing was added in 2002, the
structure is showing its age. The building needs a new roof, estimated to cost
nearly $2 million, and the site may not
be suitable for its designation an emergency shelter during a disaster, said
Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer
Liu.
We know that in order to bring the
facility up to where in needs to be with
regards to the roof and emergency
shelter readiness, we know its going
to cost millions of dollars to do that,
Liu said. So before we do that, lets
take a look at how the demographics
have changed, what are the other
opportunities we could potentially
look at with this facility, and what are
other ways we could serve the community?
The council opted to form a subcommittee comprised of staff, two councilmembers and a member of the public
to determine how the outreach process
will unfold, Liu said.
Mayor
Herb
Perez
and
Councilwoman Catherine Mahanpour
are currently on the councils infrastructure subcommittee and are likely
candidates to work on the recreation
center group as well.
The citys parks and Recreation
Center are vital aspects of the fabric of
our community where we promote
healthy lifestyles, community, eco-
nomic development and social engagement, Mahanpour said in an email.

Activities and type of programming
offered at the Recreation Center will be
explored through our subcommittee
process. The intent will be to meet
the interests of all ages in our diverse
community.
Perez said he hopes to hear from people who dont normally participate in
local government, noting the city now
has a diverse ethnic population.
Im looking forward to engaging
the new residents that are here and have
young families and get a better sense
of what they think and need and want,
Perez said.
Outreach will likely involve surveys, public workshops, open houses
and going out into the community to
gather input, Liu said, noting the subcommittee and council must first
design the process slated to begin in
October.
After about four months of gathering
feedback, the city hopes to have a
firmer idea of what would be the best
uses to support within a new recreation
center. They will also have a consultant conduct a full analysis of the existing structure to determine exactly how
much it would cost to repair, so the
council has a firm understanding of
existing conditions, Liu said.
Eventually, analysts would also need
to outline how much a new center
might cost and different funding mechanisms.
Perez said he would like to see an
enhanced facility that offers a large
gathering or meeting space that could
hold several hundred people and possi-
HOMES
ry is tighter than even last year as people continue to move into the San
Francisco region, and people who
already live in the area are staying put.
When I first started in this business, (homes) were turning over about
every five to seven years, said Ott,
who has been in the industry since
1999. Now, its seven to 10 years.
They are staying in their homes, and
that also affects the inventory.
Sales in Alameda County, which
includes the city of Oakland, dropped
nearly 10 percent from a year ago
while the median price increased more
than 7 percent to $705,000.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, sales
of homes in Santa Clara County
declined 7 percent as the median price
increased 4.5 percent to $860,000.
The affordability crunch is significant, and its constraining sales, said
CoreLogic research analyst Andrew
LePage.

lowest in the region.
Prices in todays market and during
the last housing boom were fueled in
part by job growth, consumer confidence and tight supply, CoreLogic
research analyst Andrew LePage said in
a statement.
While the current cycle has received
a boost from historically low mortgage rates about 3.6 percent recently compared with the 6-percent range
in the last cycle the last cycle benefited from loose underwriting and
high-risk subprime home loans that
allowed borrowers to stretch to their
financial max, if not well beyond,
LePage said.
Kim Ott, president of the Bay East
Association of Realtors, said invento-
bly looking at partnering with private

entities to offer other sporting programs, perhaps privatizing the restaurant, which has great views of the
lagoon.
Liu noted no single facility needs to
meet all needs, adding there are other
amenities within the community from
the library to the nearby Peninsula
Jewish Community Center. Both Liu
and Perez noted the neighboring Vibe
Teen Center and senior amenities
would remain. Liu added popular offerings such as exercise and ceramics
classes would likely continue as well.
Another important component of
the existing center is that it is a popular rental facility, with a variety of
social events held at the grounds
neighboring the lagoon, Liu said,
adding the centers revenue is about
$1.3 million a year.
But todays new recreation facilities
function a bit differently than yesteryears and Liu said she hopes Foster
City will continue to offer a sociable
community hub.
There are trends in the parks and
recreation profession that are evolving more and more to what I call the
facilitator of community services.
People come to us for all kinds of
things that bring people together,
Liu said, noting a variety of organizations from a Boys & Girls Club to a
health service provider might use the
space for various functions. I dont
want the recreation center to become
obsolete. It should really be this
vibrant place, its about bringing people in to Leo Ryan Park and while
theyre there, heres another amenity
too. Its a facility thats a respite for
people and its interactive.
Visit fostercity.org for more information.
But home-hunters on a budget should
take heart: Prices are stabilizing in
some areas, said David Stark, Bay
Easts public affairs director.
Prices are still going up, he said,
just not as aggressively or rapidly as
weve seen the last few years.
Statewide, the median price of a
California home was $439,000, up
nearly 6 percent from last June. Buyers
closed on more than 45,200 homes
last month, down 3 percent from a year
ago.
In Southern California, sales
remained flat from a year ago. The
median price was $464,000 in the sixcounty area, up 5 percent from last
year. About 24,300 homes were sold in
June.
The median price in Southern
California ranged from a low of
$285,000 in the inland county of San
Bernardino to a high of $657,500 in
Orange County.

around you. If someone makes a scene, dont get
involved in the furor. A change you make will bring you
good fortune and a brighter future.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dont make your
choices based on what others do or say. Do your
own thing, negotiate on your own behalf and draw up
contracts that suit you. A take-charge attitude will
bring good results.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep your money in a
safe place. Dont ignore medical issues. Focus on your
needs and self-improvement. Love and romance are on
the rise and will help stabilize your life.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Complaints will get you
nowhere. If something needs doing, do it yourself. You

only get out what you put in. Dont wait for someone
else to make the first move.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your vocal and outgoing
way of dealing with matters will help you bring about
positive change. Dont trust someone else to do as
good a job as you. Love is featured.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Richard W. Schram
Case Number: 16PRO00078
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Richard W. Schram, aka
Richard Warren Schram, aka Richard
Schrram. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by David B. Schram in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
David B. Schram be appointed as personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: AUG 08, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
