A new business district for
downtown Redwood City would
fund nearly $800,000 worth of
services beyond that already
provided by the city, including
daily sidewalk washing and mar-
ket i ng.
Ballots to create the communi-
ty improvement district could go
out on Thursday, June 12 with a
public hearing to count them at
the end of next month if the City
Council gives the go-ahead at its
Monday night meeting.
A petition drive of property
owners launched last month
showed that 29.48 percent of
owners, with votes weighted by
property size, support the effort.
Adding on the citys 7.82 per-
cent based on its property hold-
ings, the 37.3 percent meets the
30 percent legal threshold to
move forward toward finalizing
the CBD.
On Monday night, the City
Council will be asked to author-
ize City Manager Bob Bell to
sign the citys petition and
adopt a resolution of intent.
Following that move, the city
clerk can mail out ballots to
affected property owners three
days later. Property owners will

With revenue expected to
decrease this fiscal year in
Millbrae, city officials are being
cautious with city expenditures.
The City Council will vote on
the 2014-15 budget Tuesday,
June 6 and is showing some con-
cern for its estimated $52 mil-
lion total budget. The projected
b e g i n n i n g
general fund
balance for
Millbrae is
about $12 mil-
lion, while the
projected end-
ing fund bal-
ance is $6. 2
m i l l i o n .
Thats with
approximately $23 million in
revenue and about $26 million
in expenditures.
Im worried that were going
to [have a shortfall] the next few
years because our revenue stream
is not keeping up with our
expenses, said Mayor Wayne
Lee. Its a huge concern. We
just have less revenue from the
businesses its a mixed bag.
We lost Kohls, but we got back
Safeway and Aloft (Hotel).
The city is still not keeping up
with expenses for pension costs
and theres a possibility of some
retirements that could have mil-
lion-dollar pension costs, Lee
said.
During the councils fi rst
budget study session on the
budget May 31, it discussed
how water purchases from the
San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission has increased by
$1.03 million because of the
states drought, Lee said. The
citys water and sewer funds are
not generating adequate rev-
enues to support ongoing oper-
ational and capital needs.
Similarly, the citys storm

Redwood Citys property owner

San Carlos is looking to stay
smart.
After a year of testing out a
guided parking program that
lets motorists find spaces using
a smartphone, the city of San
Carlos is considering extending
the contract five more years and
expanding its range.
If the City Council agrees at
Monday nights meeting, the
new contract with Streetline
will add an extra 95 spaces for
monitoring, bringing the down-
town total to 213 spots along
Laurel Street and San Carlos
Avenue.
The smart parking program
eliminates the need for officers
to mark tires and instead lets
them use a network of sensors
embedded i n t he pavement .
Once a vehicle is detected in
the space, the system starts a
time and alerts officers when
t he space remai ns occupi ed
past t he al l owed l i mi t . The
offi cer wi l l t hen go t o t he
space, validate the violation
and issue a citation.
The program also lets drivers
use Parker, the mobile app by
Streamline which offers real-
time space availability informa-
tion. Parker also has a timer
function so motorists can per-
sonally track their time before
it expires.
When preparation for the
pilot began last fall, some resi-
dents worried that the painted
space numbers on the 600 and
700 blocks of Laurel Street were
a first step toward metered park-
ing but officials insisted it will
remain free.
Councilman Matt Grocott,
who publicly questioned the ini-
tial program and its potential
for paid parking, said now he
supports more hockey puck
parking a reference to the
embedded sensors.
If it is in lieu of or staves off
metered parking, Im all in
San Carlos to expand guided parking program

School: Aide told students
pet treats were cookies
BOYERTOWN, Pa. A
Pennsylvania school district says an
aide has been suspended after she
tricked students into eating pet snacks
by telling them they were cookies.
About 75 fourth-graders at New
Hanover-Upper Frederick Elementary
School received the pet treats during
recess Thursday. No injuries were
reported.
Student Gabriel Moore tells WFMZ-
TV the aide rst joked they were dog
treats, then told students they were
actually cookies. Gabriel ate three.
Boyertown Area School District of-
cials notied parents Friday. They did-
nt disclose the type of pet treat but
said the ingredients would only be
harmful to people with certain food
allergies.
Still, Gabriels father, David Moore,
says the part-time aide should be
penalized pretty bad.
The aide has been suspended pend-
ing an internal investigation.
Phoenix woman banned
from cartwheeling at meetings
PHOENIX APhoenix woman will
have to keep both feet on the ground if
she wants to speak at any public meet-
ings.
Sixty-five-year-old Dianne Barker
told KSAZ-TV this week that shes
been banned from doing cartwheels at
meetings held by the Maricopa
Association of Governments.
An attorney for the association that
oversees regional transportation proj-
ects said in a letter to Barker last
month that she must immediately
cease performing cartwheels.
Agency spokeswoman Kelly Taft
tells The Associated Press that
Barkers cartwheels are disruptive and
a public safety liability.
Barker says she will obey the asso-
ciations request. She was a cheer-
leader in college and says the cart-
wheels are a way for her to show her
passion.
Taft says the association appreciates
Barkers enthusiasm, but she should
show it verbally.
Man pinned by tree
branch credits son, 4, for help
BEAR LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. A
man who was pinned under a large tree
branch in Michigans northwestern
Lower Peninsula credits his 4-year-old
sons quick efforts for helping to get
him free.
Grant Groenwald told WPBN-WTOM
that he was cutting wood Friday near
his home in Manistee Countys Bear
Lake Township when a branch rolled
on him. His son Quillan said he was
able to drag a chain saw over to his dad.
The whole thing rolled down on top
of me, Groenwald said. It hit me in
the shoulder and hit in my elbow and
just kind of knocked me off balance.
Groenwald used the chain saw to cut
the branch while he was still pinned
underneath, the station reported, and
Quillan helped him back to a truck.
I saved my daddys life, Quillan
said. I got to drag the chain saw to
him.
Groenwald has a broken ankle,
which is expected to require surgery.
When he was trapped, Groenwald said
his son didnt think he could help.
I said `I need your help. Daddys
pinned, Groenwald said. He said `I
cant, dad. I cant help you. I said:
`Youve got to. Youre the only person
Ive got. Youre my only savior.
Police: robbery
suspect addicted to golf
BREMERTON, Wash. Police in
Washington state say a man suspected
of taking $9,200 worth of clubs and
other merchandise from the pro shop
at Gold Mountain Golf Course had no
criminal history, but appears to be
addicted to golf.
Bremerton police detectives spotted
some of the stolen gear for sale online
and arrested the suspect Wednesday in
Kirkland.
Police Chief Steve Strachan said in a
news release that robberies are often
the result of addictions, but this is the
rst one police have seen that looks
like a golf addiction.
The Kitsap Sun reports other proper-
ty that was stolen from the pro shop
on Memorial Day was recovered from
the suspects apartment.

T
he coast of San Mateo County
south of Montara Mountain has a
nice, quiet stretches of sandy
beaches that goes on for miles. On sunny
days, it attracts cars by the thousands full
of parents and kids who want a few hours
in the sun to play on the beach.
It can be quite idyllic.
Panic swept the Pacific Coast, however,
after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in
1941. Most of the U.S. naval fleet of
ships were caught lying in the harbor and
were destroyed or damaged by the Japanese
bombers on a fateful Sunday in 1941.
Immediately, rumors of an invasion of the
West Coast abounded and the U.S. military
leaders rushed to defend and protect the
wide open spaces the coast offered the
Japanese. Thirty-seven coastal defense
guns were installed at the Bay entrance and
10 batteries of guns and a power plant were
installed along Montara/Half Moon Bay
area along with observation bunkers to
direct the fire of these guns. Pillar Point
had searchlights set up around the area and
four mobile 155-millimeter guns near
Princeton presented a formidable defense.
The beaches by Montara, Moss Beach,
Princeton-by-the Sea and Half Moon Bay
were immediately declared off limits to
any foreign born in the area and round-the
clock patrols were set up to secure the area.
A secret base was established along the
coast and a anti-aircraft gunnery school
was built in Montara. Forty permanent
buildings were constructed along the coast
where more than 3,000 personnel and 140
officers were stationed at the peak of its
activity. Anti-aircraft guns and 50-caliber
machine guns were mounted at numerous
sites along the coast where personnel
could train in their use against any invad-
er. Concrete bunkers were built and 60-
inch 8 million-candlepower search lights
were installed at strategic places. One of
the observation stations can be seen
along the highway, just south of Montara
Mountain, exposed from the surrounding
mountain when an attempt was made to
build a restaurant on the site. The lack of
water and getting permits for the restau-
rant caused the owner to abandon his
efforts to present one of the most unique
restaurants along the coast.
The fear of an invasion instilled in the
hearts of the populace in San Mateo
County was not unfounded. A Japanese
submarine was detected off of the Farallon
Islands and a Standard Oil tanker and a
Japanese submarine exchanged fire off of
Half Moon Bay. Off of the Oregon coast, a
Japanese airplane terrified Oregon when it
dropped flares that started fires. The threat
of a Japanese invasion was a real fear for
many years.
In Half Moon Bay, a house at Kelly and
Main streets was acquired for the Coast
Guard personnel as well as a house at
Pigeon Point where observations could be
made of the area. A corral and barn was
acquired at 625 Purisima St. where horses
were kept for patrolling the beaches.
The Navy and the Army needed better sur-
veillance methods than men riding horses
along the beach and a request for air sup-
port was submitted. Just north of

After almost two decades,
Healthy Cities Tutoring in San
Carlos is still working to get stu-
dents age 5-14 one-on-one sup-
port from community volunteers
and has expanded its services.
The free volunteer-based tutor-
ing program, that provides one-
on-one tutoring and mentoring for
students who struggle, has seen 65
percent growth rate over the last
two years. During the 2011-12
school year, there were 159 stu-
dents tutored, while there are 325
expected to be tutored next school
year. Additionally, there are plans
for expansion to additional
schools in Redwood City. Healthy
Cities holds an annual volunteer
recognition reception; this year it
honored 233 volunteers, along
with 265 students.
Weve really grown quite a bit,
said Executive Director Donna
Becht. Our mission has been
from the beginning to help stu-
dents who struggle. For volun-
teers, some of senior citizens view
it as their favorite day of the week.
Since theres a vibrancy in the
schools, it enriches their lives and
benets everyone.
The project was founded in 1996
by a community-based steering
committee. The steering commit-
tee had been meeting for several
years working on developing a
program to make an impact on San
Carlos and improve the quality of
life for its citizens. The program
was administered by the city of
San Carlos for its rst 13 years
then, in 2010, the program was
transferred to the San Carlos
Elementary School District. In
2011, Healthy Cities became a
nonprofit and will be able to
establish a long-range fundraising
model and ensure sustainability,
according to the group.
Healthy Cities connects volun-
teers to students with the greatest
needs. The volunteers range in age
from 14-91 and represent all walks
of life. About 25 percent of the
tutors are high school students, 25
percent are senior citizens and 50
percent are from the general com-
munity. According to teachers
assessment data from the 2012-13
school year, students in the pro-
gram saw a 12 percent increase in
academic scores, a 15 percent
improvement in playground and
classroom behavior and 13 per-
cent improvement in self-esteem.
Vanesa, an eighth-grade student
who had a Healthy Cities tutor
from rst- to fth-grade, thanked
the organization for helping her.
I dont get it and I cannot
read were the words coming out of
a little girls mouth, that little girl
was me, Vanesa said at last years
recognition ceremony. The
words, I dont get it and I cant
do it are no longer in my vocabu-
lary. The words I can get it and I
can do it are the result my Healthy
Cities tutors support and guid-
ance.
At this years reception in May,
Charles Miller spoke about the
success of having a high school
student, Ryan Dutton, a junior at
St. Ignatius High School, as a
tutor for his grandson, whom he
and his wife are raising.
On behalf of my family I want
to thank all of you, and especial-
l y, this young man, Ryan, Miller
said. Ryan came into our grand-
sons life and I watched his grades
go from very low to close to grade
level. Ryans not just a tutor, hes
a big brother.
The tutors themselves say
theres a great joy and growth in
serving and helping people,
Becht said.
Other changes are happening for
the organization as well. This
school year, the group moved its
headquarters to Chestnut Street in
San Carlos where the San Carlos
Elementary School District used
to be housed since the district
moved its offices to Industrial
Road. The program is currently
operating in seven schools in the
San Carlos and one school in the
Redwood City Elementary School
District.
With the school year wrapping
up, Healthy Cities doesnt stop its
work. Many tutors continue help-
ing their student throughout the
summer to ensure that they can
continue to develop their skills
over the summer and to maintain
the special relationships that
have been formed. Most student-
tutor pairs that continue over the
summer meet in the San Carlos
Public Library.

The O.J. Simpson murder trial exposed
many painful truths. None hit harder than the
idea that white and black people often look
at the same facts and see different realities.
Today, 20 years after
the case divided the
nation, few opinions
have changed. Despite
two decades worth of
increasing racial accept-
ance, the saga still
reflects deep-rooted
obstacles to a truly unit-
ed America.
Most people still
believe that the black
football legend killed his white ex-wife and
her friend, polls show. But for many
African-Americans, his likely guilt remains
overwhelmed by a potent mix: the racism of
the lead detective and the history of black
mistreatment by the justice system.
For these people, Simpsons acquittal
is a powerful rebuke to what they see as
Americas racial crimes. Others simply
see a murderer who played the race card to
get away with it. Across the board, emo-
tions remain vivid.
We were consumed with it, recalls
Carlos Carter, who at the time was one of
the few black people working in the trust
department of a Pittsburgh bank. It repre-
sented something bigger than the case, the
battle between good and evil, the battle
between the white man and the black man.
It was at that level.
It was at a different level for Shannon
Spicker, a white woman working her way
through college in Ohio at the time.
Most of us didnt understand why it was
racially charged, she says. We didnt
understand how people could defend him ...
We knew he was guilty, but they defended
him because he was black. It was weird.
On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown
Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman
were found knifed to death outside her Los
Angeles condo. Suspicion quickly
focused on Simpson, who had beaten
Nicole in the past and had no alibi.
Several factors heightened and com-
plicated the drama:
Simpson had a mixed-race marriage in a
nation that had historically punished
black men who dared to explore interracial
sex. He was the target of a Los Angeles
Police Department that had a reputation
for racism and corruption.
But Simpson also was a wealthy
Hollywood actor and ad pitchman with lit-
tle connection to the black community, a
man who divorced his black wife for a
young blonde and traveled in Los
Angeles most privileged white circles.
His money and fame placed him far from
the poor, black men languishing in the
criminal justice system.

SACRAMENTO The decision by
California transportation ofcials to hire a
Chinese company that had never built a
bridge to make key components of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges eastern
section ended up being a costly choice in
terms of both dollars and condence in the
spans structural integrity, a newspaper
reported Sunday.
The Sacramento Bee said an investigation
based on its review of more than 100,000
pages of construction records and emails
found that the Department of
Transportation picked Zhenhua Port
Machinery to make the bridges new signa-
ture tower and roadway because ofcials
thought the subcontractor could do the work
faster and for $250 million less than the
next lowest bidder.
Instead, Caltans ended up paying the
Shanghai company millions as a speed
incentive even as it spent hundreds of mil-
lions more to x problems with the rms
work, and overruns that exceeded the
expected savings and contributed to the
bridges $6.4 billion price tag, the Bee
reports.
The newspaper produced a timeline show-
ing that the Chinese companys inexperi-
ence with U.S. construction rules became
evident early on and that several Caltrans
workers expressed concerns with Zhenhuas
quality controls and the oversight being
provided by the projects prime contractor.
Rather than risking delays, officials
approved welding work that did not meet
codes and will likely require expensive
maintenance to overcome, the Bee said.
Brian Maroney, the chief Caltrans engi-
neer who oversaw the project, defended the
choice and said the initial concerns about
Zhenhua had made ofcials extra alert to
potential problems and the company had
produced excellent results.
Two engineers who worked on the proj-
ect, one for Caltrans and one employed by a
contractor, told a California Senate com-
mittee in January that they were reassigned
after they voiced objections about
Zhenhuas work. They said they do not
think the new bridge span that opened on
Labor Day is unsafe, but the myriad con-
struction mistakes could lead to expensive
future repairs.
The newspaper also concluded that hiring
an inexperienced company located so far
away from San Francisco led to unnecessary
travel costs, including more than $300,000
spent by a Caltrans chief executive who
made at least 64 trips to Shanghai and stayed
in a top-rated Marriott for $470 a night.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and
fellow Democratic state lawmakers head
into the nal week of negotiations over the
state budget having agreed to a rainy day
fund and pay down massive liabilities in the
teachers pension system.
But lawmakers have
their own plans for what
to do with Californias
newfound surplus.
While Brown has
refused to agree to new
spending, arguing that
the bulk of $2.4 billion
in extra tax revenue is
temporary due to recent
stock market gains,
Democratic lawmakers
are pushing to restore recession-era social
service cuts and proposing new programs
such as preschool for low-income families.
Lawmakers are also using the governors
proposal to use cap-and-trade money to fund
high-speed rail as a bargaining tool.
Theres billions of dollars floating
around in the Capitol, and we have to rein
that all in, Brown said Tuesday after
advancing from the primary election to
seek an unprecedented fourth term in
November. Ill work closely with the
Legislature.
Brown and legislative leaders hope to
reach a deal in time for the June 15 constitu-
tional deadline to pass a balanced spending
plan.
The governor proposed a record $107.8
billion in spending from the general fund
for the scal year starting July 1. Democrats
who control both the Senate and Assembly
used a different forecast that predicts the
state will collect billions more over the
next 12 months.
They want t o use t he ext ra cash t o
r est or e ser vi ces f or t he poor t hat
were cut i n duri ng Cal i forni as mul t i-
bi l l i on- dol l ar budget shor t f al l s.
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-
Berkeley, chairwoman of the joint legislative
budget committee, said this is one of the rst
years since the downturn in which the state
has discretionary money to spend on educa-
tion, health care and services for the poor.
We know that Californians are yearning
for that, Skinner said.
Under Democratic legislative proposals,
the state would rescind a 7 percent cut in the
hours of in-home care available to low-
income seniors and the disabled, and In-
Home Supportive Service workers would be
entitled to overtime.
Senate Democrats proposed restoring
Medi-Cal services such as podiatry and
optometry, while Assembly Democrats pro-
posed increases in welfare that would raise
the maximum payment for a family of three
from $670 a month to $717 a month.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, is also propos-
ing to spend $378 million in 2014-15 to
provide preschool programs for children in
low-income families, far less than he ini-
tially proposed. His revised SB837 would
offer pre-kindergarten to more than
234,000 children, nearly half of all 4-year-
olds in California.
Legislative Democrats are also pro-
posing less than Brown for Californias
bullet train.
Brown wanted to use $250 million from
fees generated from the states cap-and-trade
program but Senate Democrats are propos-
ing less and spending most of the pollution
fees for affordable housing, public transit
and energy conservation efforts.
Assembly Democrats want high-speed
rail to compete against other transportation
projects for funding.
The governor maintains that the state
should focus on paying down debt and reduc-
ing long-term liabilities. Republicans
share his concern. They say the state
shouldnt spend more when additional
money is coming from temporary taxes.

TRENTON, N.J. Tracy Morgan was
recovering Sunday, but was expected to
remain hospitalized for several weeks after
having surgery on a broken leg suffered in a
deadly chain-reaction crash on the New
Jersey Turnpike that left two others critical-
ly injured and another man dead.
The 45-year-old actor
and comedian, a former
Saturday Night Live
and 30 Rock cast
member, remained in
critical condition but
was more responsive
Sunday after having sur-
gery for a broken leg,
said Morgans
spokesman, Lewis Kay.
Kay said that Morgan also sustained a
broken femur, broken nose and several bro-
ken ribs and is expected to remain hospital-
ized for several weeks. He said that
Morgans family is tremendously over-
whelmed and appreciative of the outpouring
of love and support from his fans.
AWal-Mart truck driver from Georgia was
charged with death by auto and four counts
of assault by auto. Authorities said 35-year-
old Kevin Roper, of Jonesboro, apparently
failed to slow for trafc ahead early Saturday
in Cranbury Township and swerved at the
last minute to avoid a crash. Instead, his big
rig smashed into the back of Morgans
chauffeured Mercedes limo bus, killing
comedian James Jimmy Mack McNair,
authorities said.
Also critically injured were Morgans
assistant, Jeffrey Millea, 36, of Shelton,
Connecticut, and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr. ,
43, of Jersey City. They remained in critical
condition Sunday evening, said Zenaida
Mendez, a spokeswoman for Robert Wood
Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick.
Another passenger, comic Harris Stanton,
was treated and released.
Tyrone Gale, who was driving the limo
bus, told ABC News that he was disoriented
after the vehicle ipped over and could hear
Morgan yelling for help.
I climbed around and heard Tracy scream-
ing for help, Gale said. I climbed up on
the body of the limo bus ... but I couldnt
reach them.
Roper, accompanied by his attorney,
turned himself in to state police. He was
released on $50,000 bail Saturday night and
has been placed on administrative leave,
Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said
Sunday.
Wal-Mart President Bill Simon said in a
statement that the company will take full
responsibility if authorities determine its
truck caused the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board
is working with state police to look at any
issues in the crash related to commercial
trucking and limousine safety.
Morgan, a New York City native, was
returning from a standup performance at
Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Delaware
when the crash occurred. In all, six vehicles
were involved in the pileup, but no one
from the other cars was injured.
At a press event Saturday in Los Angeles
to promote the upcoming comedy film
Think Like A Man Too, cast members,
many of whom have worked and are friends
with Morgan, wished him well.
Kevin Hart said he owes much of his suc-
cess to Morgan, crediting him for paving
the way for comics like himself to become
successful.

NEW YORK The murderous romp A
Gentlemans Guide to Love and Murder has
gotten a lot of love at the Tony Awards it
nabbed the best new musical trophy on a
night that saw Audra McDonald, Bryan
Cranston and Neil Patrick Harris all took
home big awards.
The musical A Gentlemens Guide, in
which a poor man comically eliminates the
eight heirs ahead of him for a title, opened
rather quietly and has had a steady increase
in interest, peaking with its huge win over
Disneys Aladdin and the built-in love of
Carole King songs from Beautiful The
Carole King Musical.
The little engine that could, did, said an
ecstatic lead producer Joey Parnes. The
show nabbed a total of four wins, including
best book of a musical.
McDonald became the Tonys most deco-
rated actress, while Cranston won a best
actor trophy for his Broadway debut. Harris
took home best actor in a musical after
years of handing out the awards to others.
McDonald won her sixth Tony for por-
traying Billie Holiday in Lady Day at
Emersons Bar & Grill, putting her ahead
of ve-time winners Angela Lansbury and
the late Julie Harris for the most competi-
tive wins by an actress. Among those she
thanked were her parents for not medicating
their hyperactive child.
The latest win for best lead actress in a
play also makes McDonald the first
grand-slam performance winner. She previ-
ously won as best featured actress in a play
(ARaisin in the Sun and Master Class),
best lead actress in a musical (The
Gershwins Porgy and Bess) and best fea-
tured actress in a musical (Ragtime and
Carousel).
Cranston in a role far from TVs chem-
istry teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter
White in Breaking Bad won the best
lead actor in a play Tony for playing former
President Lyndon B. Johnson in Robert
Schenkkans All the Way, which also was
crowned best play.
Jessie Mueller beat some strong
Broadway veterans in Sutton Foster, Idina
Menzel and Kelli OHara to take home the
best actress in a musical Tony for playing
the title character in Beautiful: The Carole
King Musical. She thanked the iconic
singer-songwriter and all her competitors.
Hugh Jackman kicked off the show with a
bounce, hopping up and down like a kanga-
roo during his opening number Sunday.
Big, high-kicking musical numbers from
After Midnight, Aladdin, Rocky and
Hedwig and the Angry Inch kept the ener-
gy level up.

WASHINGTON Two American values
collided in Sgt. Bowe Bergdahls calamity.
One had to give.
The one about never leaving a man behind
prevailed.
The one about never
negotiating with terror-
ists got lost in the
swirling dust storm of a
U.S. helicopter retriev-
ing the soldier from his
Taliban captors in a swap
now provoking recrimi-
nations in Washington.
Each ethos runs deep in
the American conscience, yet has been vio-
lated through history, notably in the age of
terrorism, where traditional standards of
warfare, spying and negotiating are run
through a hall of mirrors.
Bergdahl and the five Guantanamo
detainees traded for his freedom were cap-
tives in an undeclared, unconventional and
open-ended war that never t neatly into the
Geneva Conventions, U.S. military doc-
trine or slogans about how to behave.
Whatever universal rights are afrmed by
the old standards, they came from an era of
recognizable battleelds and POW camps,
with victories and defeats signed with our-
ishes of a pen.
THE SOLDIERS CREED
History is replete with extraordinary acts
to bring home the lost and fallen.
The U.S. Armys Warrior Ethos and the
Soldiers Creed both swear, I will never
leave a fallen comrade, and all the services
place a premium on returning the missing,
captured and dead. Often this comes at great
cost, as in the 1993 Black Hawk Down bat-
tle in Somalia in which 18 U.S. servicemen
were killed in the attack on U.S. helicopters
and the subsequent rescue attempt.
President Barack Obama said the ethos is
a sacred undertaking that applies to all in
uniform without regard to rank or circum-
stance or, in Bergdahls case, his question-
able loyalty to the Army. We have a basic
principle, Obama said Thursday. We do
not leave anybody wearing the American
uniform behind.
As Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John
F. Kirby put it: When youre in the Navy,
and you go overboard, it doesnt matter if
you were pushed, fell or jumped. Were going
to turn the ship around and pick you up.
Not always.
The debate over Bergdahl is roiling as
world leaders and ordinary citizens com-
memorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
The legions storming the beaches of
Normandy, France, from the sea and drop-
ping behind German lines from the sky
faced snap decisions under withering re
about what to do with the wounded or
trapped. Army history tells of wounded
paratroopers left behind for the sake of the
mission or the survival of their units.
Sometimes medics were left behind, too,
because they insisted on staying with the
injured.
When the Korean War ended in 1953, thou-
sands of missing and dead American soldiers
were left behind, as well as POWs, as U.S.
forces retreated from North Korea. Not all the
missing and dead were returned after the truce
and there was strong evidence some POWs
were not handed over. Today the Pentagon is
still trying to retrieve remains through a
process, currently stalled, of paying North
Koreans to support eld excavations.
The Pentagon agency primarily responsi-
ble for survival training for captured troops
and for helping them back at home says the
mission of bringing them back is truly
and uniquely an indelible part of the
American way.
ANOTHER AMERICAN WAY
Never negotiate with terrorists or
hostage-takers? Not quite never.
The Sept. 11 attacks broke open the mod-
ern age of asymmetric warfare. Asymmetric
dealmaking, diplomacy and national securi-
ty went hand in hand with that. The old
standards and slogans still had meaning but
improvisation was required.
Prisoners taken in the ght against ter-
rorism could not be considered prisoners of
war in the U.S. governments estimation
because branding them POWs might extend
them rights they were not accorded at
Guantanamo, never mind the now-discon-
tinued CIAblack sites.
Ways were found to deal with those who
dont ght by the rules. As in Bergdahls
case, where the government of Qatar served
as go-between, intermediaries are usually
involved to maintain a semblance of sepa-
ration between two sides that arent really
supposed to be talking to each other.
Just months after the 2001 attacks, the
U.S. dropped its straightforward ban on gov-
ernment involvement in ransom to hostage-
takers, for example. The new policy created
more wiggle room for the U.S. to facilitate
ransom payments and to shape negotiations,
however indirectly, with captors.
The policy provided cover for the U.S. to
try to free terrorist-held missionaries
Martin and Gracia Burnham in the
Philippines in 2002 but failed to achieve a
peaceful transfer: Martin Burnham died in
the eventual assault on the captors.
U.S. values collided in Bergdahls predicament

KARACHI, Pakistan Gunmen
disguised as police guards attacked
a terminal at Pakistans busiest
airport Sunday with machine guns
and a rocket launcher during a ve-
hour siege that killed 13 people as
explosions echoed into the night,
ofcials said.
A separate suicide bombing in
the countrys southwest killed 23
Shiite pilgrims returning from
Iran, authorities said.
No one immediately claimed
responsibility for the attack on
the Jinnah International Airport in
Karachi, named after the founder of
Pakistan, nor the suicide bombing
in Baluchistan province. However,
the attacks come as government-
led peace talks with the local
Taliban faction and other militants
have oundered in recent weeks.
The airport attack began late
Sunday and continued on into the
dawn hours of Monday in Karachi,
a sprawling port city on
Pakistans southern coast,
although ofcials said all the pas-
sengers had been evacuated.
During the course of the attack,
heavy gunre and multiple explo-
sions could be heard coming from
the terminal, used for VIP ights
and cargo, as militants and securi-
ty forces battled for control. A
major re rose from the airport,
illuminating the night sky in an
orange glow as the silhouettes of
jets could be seen.
The deadly operation was carried
out by 10 militants, said the Chief
Minister of Sindh province, Qaim
Ali Shah.
They were well trained. Their
plan was very well thought out,
he told reporters. He said they
intended to destroy some of the
aircraft and buildings but were not
able to.
The spokesman for the
Pakistani military, Gen. Asim
Bajwa, said on Twitter that no air-
craft were damaged and that as a
precautionary measure, security
forces were sweeping the airport
before operations would be
returned to the Civil Aviation
Authority and airport police.
At least some of the gunmen
wore the uniforms of the Airport
Security Force that protects the
nations airports, said an ofcial
who briefed journalists near the
airport. He said all were strapped
with explosives. He said one of
them tried to capture a vehicle used
by the Civil Aviation Authority
and when a guard shot at him, the
explosives strapped to his body
went off. The ofcial said another
attacker also blew up after being
shot at by security forces.

VATICAN CITY Pope Francis
plunged head-first into Mideast
peace-making Sunday, welcoming
the Israeli and Palestinian presi-
dents to the Vatican for a remark-
able evening of peace prayers just
weeks after the last round of U.S.-
sponsored negotiations col-
lapsed.
Israeli President Shimon Peres
and Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas joked and
embraced in the foyer of the
Vatican hotel where Francis lives
and later in the Vatican gardens,
where they joined Francis in pre-
siding over a sunset invocation of
Jewish, Christian and Muslim
prayers.
Francis told the two men, who
signed the Oslo peace accords in
1993, that he hoped the summit
would mark a new journey
toward peace. He said too many
children had been killed by war
and violence, and that their memo-
ry should instill the strength and
patience to work for dialogue and
coexistence.
Peacemaking calls for courage,
much more so than warfare, he
said. It calls for the courage to
say yes to encounter and no to
conict.
The event had the air of an out-
door summer wedding, complete
with receiving line and guests
mingling on the lawn as a string
ensemble played. Only the two
key protagonists are technically
on opposite sides of the
intractable Israeli-Palestinian
conict.
Vatican ofcials have insisted
that Francis had no political agen-
da in inviting the two leaders to
pray at his home other than to
rekindle a desire for peace. But the
meeting could have greater sym-
bolic significance, given that
Francis was able to bring them
together at all so soon after peace
talks failed and at a time that the
Israeli government is trying to
isolate Abbas.
In the Middle East, symbolic
gestures and incremental steps are
important, noted the Rev.
Thomas Reese, a veteran Vatican
analyst for the National Catholic
Reporter. And who knows what
conversations can occur behind
closed doors in the Vatican.
The meeting has also cemented
Francis reputation as a leader
unhindered by diplomatic and the-
ological protocol who is willing
to go out on a limb for the sake of
peace. Francis capitalized on both
his own enormous popularity and
the peace-loving heritage of his
namesake, St. Francis of Assisi,
to bring the two sides together.
The unusual prayer summit was a
feat of diplomatic and religious
protocol, organized in the two
weeks since Francis issued the sur-
prise invitation to Peres and
Abbas from Manger Square in
Bethlehem.
It took place in the lush Vatican
gardens in the shadow of St.
Peters Basilica, the most reli-
giously neutral place in the tiny
city-state. It incorporated Jewish,
Christian and Muslim prayers,
delivered in Hebrew, English,
Arabic and Italian and with musi-
cal interludes from the three faith
traditions.
Pope dives into Mideast peace with prayer summit

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

OPINION 9
Monday June 9, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL
Misdirected,
premature criticism
Editor,
In his commentary regarding
recently publicized problems in the
VAhealth care system, Ethan Jones
(Letters, Daily Journal, Tuesday,
6/3) not only condemns the long-
established VAsystem in its entire-
t y, he also rages against Obamacare,
which is in its infancy. Wham
just like that problems in the VA
system (which automatically makes
it a failed system), therefore, some-
how, the new Obamacare is obvi-
ously a failure. Afailure that can be
fixed by repealing it. Apparently,
following Jones logic, the VAsys-
tem should also be dismantled.
As best I know, the VAhealth care
system was established before
President Obama was born yet
somehow, Mr. Jones connects the
Affordable Care Act to the VA
System, an entirely separate entity.
After a career in the local high-
tech industry, where I had partially-
subsidized health insurance through
my employers, I enrolled in the VA
system. In the ensuing 14 years, the
VAsystem has convinced me that it
is far superior to the care I had dur-
ing my working life.
Further, I recently wrote to the
president to suggest that while
looking into the obvious VAprob-
lems, an examination of the well-run
branches of the VAshould also be
made Palo Alto, for example.
Emulate the well-run operations
dont tear the whole thing down
fix it. Unfortunately, a similar letter
to Secretary Shinseki was posted too
late.

Martins Beach
must remain public
Editor,
I am 67 years old and for most of
that time on earth spent many hours
on Martins Beach in Half Moon
Bay with my family and friends. I
am talking about my parents, my
siblings and my children. This was a
tradition passed though generations
in my family. The memories are
nothing short of wonderful.
Today I walked onto Martins
Beach past the locked gate and expe-
rienced a feeling that most people in
a different setting would think beau-
tiful. I saw a beach without a single
footprint. Im talking about the area
from the ocean to the parking lot. I
saw a beach without a single person.
This was June at 11 a.m. I saw a
beach that was normally filled with
hundreds of families, fishermen and
surfers empty. I sat wondering how
the people of California could allow
an individual with too much money
to buy part of our coast. The oceans
and their beaches belong to every-
one; no one has the right or enough
money to take that from us.
I am sure I am not the only person
that has these feelings. Do not let
this happen in our state. Write or
call your state representative and
tell him or her as a citizen of
California you cannot let this hap-
pen.

Why people voted for Yee?
Editor,
Great opinion piece on why peo-
ple voted for Yee (Why did people
vote for Yee by Jon Mays in the
June 6 edition of the Daily Journal).
Ive been asking same thing. It real-
ly dilutes my confidence in the sys-
tem. I like your invite for folks who
voted for Yee to explain why. I doubt
if youll get any replies. Voters for
Yee dont read your column or, for
that matter, anything else.

Voting
Editor,
This past week, my good friend
Dave Thom wrote a letter about vot-
ing, or the lack thereof. In the same
edition, Michelle Durand wrote the
column, Ten Percent Stupid, refer-
ring to those who voted for Leland
Yee, our now infamous State
Senator. In Fridays paper, there was
Jon Mays column, begging the
question: why vote for Yee, a crimi-
nally indicted gun-runner?
I would like to make a point hear-
kening back to Mr. Thoms letter.
He referred to us as a democracy.
Truthfully, we are a constitutional
republic. The distinction is made to
further a point. If we were a democra-
cy, wed vote on every decision and
not worry about electing people to
office. As a constitutional republic,
however, we elect representatives to
make decisions for us, expecting
they will abide by the constitution
and all of our laws.
Mr. Thom is right; for our republic
to work, people need to exercise
their right to vote. You and Ms.
Durand are also right. Before vot-
ing, we need to do our homework:
research the candidates, know who
they are, what theyve done and
what they stand for. If we did that, a
Mr. Yee would garner no votes; if we
did that, candidates wouldnt get by
with throwing yard signs and glossy
mailers at us. Ive run six campaigns
and I know this: a campaign is only
run to the level expected by the vot-
ers. There was a time when Mr.
Lincoln debated Mr. Douglas seven
times for hours at a time. What hap-
pened?

that the public is in favor of the
Highway 1 widening plan between
Rockaway and Vallemar put forward
by Caltrans. Residents of Linda Mar
bear the full effect of traffic on
Highway 1 in the mornings and
evenings, and would also bear the
brunt of construction delays for
years. My results from canvassing
door-to-door refute the notion that
Linda Mar residents favor Highway 1
widening.
I knocked on about 1,100 doors in
Linda Mar, randomly, in the order
that they were on the streets. At
about half of the doors, someone
answered. Of those folks that I
talked to, about 60 percent signed
the petition to the City Council to
hold hearings on alternatives to the
widening. This was about a 4 to 1
margin over those who were in favor
of the widening.
The most frequent reason they
gave for signing the petition was
the merge from three lanes down to
two in each direction that will occur
at either end of the widening proj-
ect. Comments like are they
(Caltrans) stupid? were common.
Caltrans has run roughshod over
residents on Linda Mar and other
neighborhoods of Pacifica in both
the draft and final environmental
impact reports on the Highway 1
widening, finding, without excep-
tion, that the suggestions and
objections put forward by citizens
were meritless. The Pacifica City
Council has not listened to pleas for
public hearings on alternatives,
choosing to hide behind excuses
that theyll wait for lawsuits to be
settled. The council should hire a
traffic consultant to do the job that
Caltrans didnt explore alterna-
tives to widening that are less dam-
aging to Pacifica.
When will Linda Mar and other
Pacifica residents be heard?

Letters to the editor
To skate or not to skate
I
have been following the debate over the closing
of the ice rink at Bridgepointe Shopping Center
in San Mateo with special interest. The recon-
figuration of Fashion Island into Bridgepointe hap-
pened on my watch on the City Council. The original
Big Tent Fashion Island which included department
stores was a failure and, when closed, became an eye-
sore similar to the empty lots in downtown once
occupied by Levy Brothers (now Draegers) and an
historic Catholic church (now Walgreens). The city
was pleased when Peter Pau bought Fashion Island
and turned it into the big box retail it is today with
stores like Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. He also
changed the parking which at Fashion Island circled
the stores. The new parking system and the new
stores were most welcome.
The entire area was planned for retail and office.
But Pau urged the council to change the designation
to allow some housing
instead of office space.
This was a time when
commercial real estate
was not doing well, but
it was not the best place
for housing.
Bridgepointe was far
away from major public
transportation and
schools. However, the
council made the change.
Ironically, not l ong
after, several major com-
panies already located at
Bridgepointe could not
expand. Franklin
Templeton moved to Bay
Meadows and Electronic
Arts moved south. Now another major mistake could
be in the making.
The agreement with Pau also provided for the ice
ri nk. This was never a favorite of the developer and
the council had to lobby very hard to get it. Now it is
sad to hear that the rink is closed because more retail
would mean more money for the developer and the
ci t y. Ice skaters and their families and friends have
been writing letters to the editor and attending meet-
ings in the hopes of reopening the rink. And perhaps
their efforts will not be in vain. According to the
amended master plan, if the rink was closed there had
to be an alternative recreational use of similar size
and subject to review by the Planning Commission.
But earlier attempts to close the rink and replace it
with something else failed. When the rinks lease
expired last year, it was not renewed and the place
shut down.
Several ideas have been floated for a compromise,
but to date, the shopping center owners have held
firm, insisting Bridgepointe would be in trouble and
not competitive with Hillsdale Shopping Center if it
did not expand. They forget to mention that their
worst nightmare is over. The expected new Target at
Hillsdale Shopping Center is not to be. That means
Bridgepointe hosts the only Target store in San
Mateo.
***
Thanks to the San Mateo Library Foundations suc-
cessful gala and fundraising drive, the San Mateo
library will remain open on Sundays and also open an
hour earlier 10 a.m. instead of 11 a.m. during the
week. That will be a boon for those who have been
lined up outside the library in late mornings. The
new hours take place starting Monday, July 7. As for
the branch libraries, Hillsdale is now open at 1 p.m.
instead of 2 p.m. on Tuesday; the same for Marina on
Monday. Both now open on Saturday at 10 a.m.
instead of 11 a.m.

Coastal pride: No longer is Stanford University
known as the Harvard of the West. It seems the pri-
vate university located in Palo Alto has outdone its
East Coast rivals by being the most sought after
four-year institution of higher learning with many of
the best and the brightest making it their first
choice.
Stanford is also tops in offering the most up-to-
date computer science and engineering courses, and
in raising the most money from its alums. Now,
poor Harvard, is being called the Stanford of the
East. We always knew Stanford had a better football
team than the academically-minded Ivies. But now
i t s rivaling its eastern cohorts in academics as
well. As for the old alums who complain the school
has gotten too big for its britches, who cares when
youre Number One!

id you know that 30 million Americans
suffer from back and neck pain every day?
Sciatica and herniated discs are often
misunderstood. They can cause pain and
numbness in the back, neck, legs, and feet. This
pain affects everything that you do, from work
to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We
are here to tell you that there is hope. We have
the technology and experience to help you fnd
relief from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area
Disc Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people innocently
fall into abusing prescription pain pills while
initially using them to alleviate real, constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When considering
your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDC
TM
Therapy
TDC TherapyTraction Decompression Combined
Therapyis a proven treatment exclusive to Disc
Centers of America doctors for the relief of neck
and lower back pain. By utilizing traction thats
isolated to the spinal segment involved, the
purpose is to create spinal decompression as a
result to specifc traction.
TDC Therapy offers a significant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This non surgical solution
is changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:
Herniated or buging discs
De-generative disc disease
Posterior facet syndrome
Spina Stenosis
Sciatica
TDC Therapy is non surgical and non invasive. It is
a gentle form of traction and disc decompression.
The treatment is not only safe, but also
comfortable and relaxing. The goal is symptomatic
relief and structural correction.
How Does TDC
TM
Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specifc vertebra and
distract the vertebrae surrounding an injured
disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy treatment
isolates the specific vertebrae that are causing
the pain. The 25 to 30 minute treatment
provides static, intermittent, and cycling
forces on structures that may be causing
back pain. Negative pressure promotes the
diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into
the vertebral disc area, thereby re-hydrating
the degenerated disc. Repeated pressure
differential promotes retraction of a herniated
nucleus pulposus.
The TDC Therapy treatment works to reduce
pressure on the vertebral joints,promote
retraction of herniated discs, and promote self
healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs,
thereby relieving neck or lower back pain.
