New grocery on Broadway
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Those seeking fresh produce while shop-
ping on Broadway in Burlingame could soon
find their melons, tomatoes or bananas at a
new grocery store that should open in about
three months.
Construction is currently underway at 1236
Broadway to create an open feel at what will
be a second location for Parkside Farmers
Market. The family-run shop operates at 555
Taraval St. in San Francisco. If all goes well,
the store should be open in three months, said
property owner Tom Koros.
Ross Bruce, president of the Broadway
Business Improvement District, was happy
about the new store.
“It’s a great idea,” he said.
Bruce has snuck a peak into the construc-
tion underway noting the ceiling was raised
and skylights installed.
The Koros family previous ran a grocery
store at the location, but sold the business a
number of years ago. When the most recent
tenant closed up shop, the family talked with
a number of smaller grocery store owners to
find a fit for the corner location.
The Parkside Farmers Market will have
mostly produced offered with a deli and small
grocery selection, said Koros. Construction

Rep.Maxine Waters
releases documents
in ethics case defense
By Larry Margasak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A defiant Maxine
Waters disputed charges that she violated
House ethics rules and released documents
Friday that could undercut the complaint
that the 10-term
California Democrat
sought federal money to
bail out a bank where her
husband owns stock.
With midterm elections
three months away and
no trial date scheduled by
the House Ethics
Maxine Waters Committee, Waters —
like her House colleague
Charles Rangel of New York — made her
case in the court of public opinion.
“I have not violated any House rules,” the
senior member of the House Financial
Services Committee told a news conference
that included a power-point presentation of
the documents.
Waters is charged with three counts:
Violating a rule requiring lawmakers’ con-
duct to reflect creditably on the House; vio-
lating the spirit and letter of a rule prohibit-
ing receipt of benefits by exerting improper
influence; and violating a government code
of conduct that prohibits dispensing or
receiving special favors.
Rangel defended himself in a rambling,
37-minute speech to the House on Tuesday
and again on Thursday in at a news confer-
ence in New York against charges that he
violated House ethics rules. He also cited
the slowness of the ethics committee in set-
ting a date for a trial.

No right to challenge?
Judge doubts gay marriage ban’s backers can appeal
By Paul Elias and Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The feder-
al judge who overturned
California’s same-sex marriage ban
has more bad news for the mea-
sure’s backers: He doubts they have
the right to challenge his ruling that
gay couples can begin marrying
next week.
Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn
R. Walker on Thursday rejected a
request to delay his decision barring
Proposition 8 from taking effect
until high courts can take up an
appeal lodged by its supporters.
One of the reasons, the judge said,
is he’s not sure the proponents have
the authority to appeal since they
would not be affected by or respon-
sible for implementing his ruling.
By contrast, same-sex couples are
being denied their constitutional
rights every day they are prohibited
from marrying, Walker said.
The ban’s backers “point to harm

West Nile virus in county

A squirrel found dead in San Mateo has
tested positive for West Nile virus, the first
indicator the virus is in the county, said
Chindi Peavey, head of the Mosquito and
Vector Control District.
A dead eastern gray squirrel collected from
San Mateo July 28 tested positive for the
virus. Last year, a total of one dead bird from
Redwood City tested positive for the virus
and no squirrels, Peavey said.
The district has started setting up traps for
adult mosquitoes to have the insects tested for
the virus, Peavey said. The district conducts
larval control year-round throughout the
county and does not intend to do any fogging,
she said.
Health officials in Contra Costa County
also announced yesterday that they have
detected a case of West Nile virus in mosqui-
toes and a bird found in Oakley.

Judge keeps gay

Boisseree sat in front of the apartment com-
plex on Catamaran Street this week with

The property manager, Woodmont Real
Estate Services, did not return calls for com-
ment.
Dimond and another friend were allegedly
shot by a neighbor, later identified by police
as 39-year-old Jesse Wilson, for making too
much noise while launching boats into the
lagoon just before midnight, July 9.
Dimond, 30, suffered a collapsed lung after
being shot and was hospitalized for nearly
two weeks following the incident.
A notice appeared on his door Friday night.
“I was told they were not obligated to

marriage on hold — for now
The federal judge who struck down
California’s gay marriage ban said Thursday
that same-sex weddings can resume next
week unless an appeals court intervenes
before then.
The news raised hopes among gay couples
that they soon could tie the knot after years of
agonizing delays.
Walker decided to give gay marriage oppo-
nents until next Wednesday to ask the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block same-
sex weddings while it decides their appeal. If
the appeals court chooses not to get involved,
Walker said county clerks may begin issuing
marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 5
p.m. on Wednesday.
Walker last week struck down the state’s
gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8,
saying that the voter-approved law is uncon-
stitutional.
Lawyers for gay marriage opponents filed
their request with the 9th Circuit late
Thursday, asking the court to block gay mar-
riages from going forward.
Obama signs $600 million
border security bill into law
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama on Friday signed a bill directing $600
million more to securing the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der, a modest election-year victory that under-
scores his failure so far to deliver an overhaul
of immigration law.
The new law will pay for the hiring of 1,000
more Border Patrol agents to be deployed at
critical areas, as well as more Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agents. It provides
for new communications equipment and
greater use of unmanned surveillance drones.
The Justice Department gets more money to
help catch drug dealers and human traffickers.
But the bill fell short by the standards
Obama has set for dealing with the immigra-
tion problem. In a speech last month Obama
reiterated his commitment to a comprehensive
approach that would secure the border but also
address the 11 million illegal immigrants
already in the country.
“Our borders are just too vast for us to be
able to solve the problem only with fences and
border patrols,” the president said then. “It
won’t work.”
Obama signed the bill Friday in a low-key
Oval Office ceremony alongside Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. There
were cameras present, but no reporters. The
action came a day after the Senate convened in
special session during its summer recess to
pass the bill.
Napolitano said later: “This bill is clearly
another step forward on border security, on
top of the significant progress that the admin-
istration has already made. It is one of the
many tools in the toolbox we have construct-
ed along the border.”
That wasn’t good enough for some immi-
gration advocates, who’ve criticized the legis-
lation as election-year politics.

Random musings of a wondering mind
G
AY MARRIAGES —
The first time I heard the
term, I thought it was a
joke. I couldn’t imagine two men
or two women being married.
Then, I heard my favorite presi-
dent, George W. Bush, on the
radio, speaking to some antedilu-
vian conservative group, avowing
that such a development would
destroy the holy structure of mar-
riage and in turn destroy the Judeo-
Christian foundation of our
American society.
That did it! If George W. Bush is
against it, then it can’t be all bad.
Anyway what is left to destroy? I
had just read that, in the state of
California, three out of four mar-
riages end in divorce. Nationally,
40 percent of those blessed births
are to unwed mothers.
Then I began thinking about it.
There was a gay couple living near
me in my complex when I was the
president, who could be depended
upon for contributing their time on
any project I was fostering. What if
one day they had walked up to me
and revealed:
“Hey, Keith! We’re married.”
What would have changed?
In fact, how does that materially
affect anyone in our already
screwed up American society? It’s
against religion? Fine! Let the good
Lord be the judge. If he is omnipo-
tent as the faithful ascribe, then he
doesn’t need any self-appointed,
volunteer vigilantes to do his work
for him: “You trespass upon my
divine powers,” is what he would,
likely, pronounce.
What sealed my opinion is when
a friend from high school looked
me up about 10 years ago and I
found out he has been in an inti-
mate relationship with another
male in the equivalent of marital
bliss and mutual care for 47 years,
the same period of time of my mar-
riage lasted before my wife passed
away.
How many in our contemporary
culture of shattered heterosexual
marital unions can make that obser-
vation?
The worst is when leaders in
some churches, which are them-
selves morally suspect, pour money
into frustrating the natural human
yearnings for the blessings of a
permanent marital unions.
THE RIP VAN WINKLES — It
would be amusing, if not so tragic
to see those affected by the eco-
nomic downturn look around for
scapegoats for the perpetrators of
this unnecessary disaster.
While they were sleeping for the
‘In fact, how does that
materially affect anyone in our already
screwed up American society? It’s against
religion? Fine! Let the good Lord be the judge.’
past 30 years, dreaming dreams of
“American Idol,” and the successes
of their favorite sports teams and
spending and buying freely and
snatching the bargain mortgages
aggressively marketed to them by
unscrupulous financial institution,
the warning signs were there out in
the open for all to see:
Each year, the media was report-
ing, through the gracious generosi-
ty of their benefactor, Ronald
Reagan, his tax cut for the rich and
his being the “godfather of deregu-
lation” were getting even richer, the
middle class was holding its own
and the poor were getting poorer.
Then, it morphed into the rich
getting even richer and the CEO
remunerations and Wall Street bro-
ker’s bonuses exceeding the
obscene. Then, in order to hold its
own, the middle class began bor-
rowing, loading up its multiple
credit cards and taking equity loans
out on their homes just to stay
even. Might as well forget even
relating the plight of the poor.
The Rip Van Winkles had been
looking upon the halcyon days of
Reagan and to what appeared to be
one of the greatest economic
expansions in history. But, as a
matter of fact, the percentage gain
for the lower fifth of wage earners
to this very day has been 16 per-
cent, the middle fifth has grown 25
percent and the highest fifth has
been 95 percent. But for the
favored of Reagan, the top 1 per-
cent, it has been a whopping 281
percent.
Also, not realizing the synonym
for expansion is to “bubble,” when
that bubble inevitably burst, the
thunderous noise wakened all of
those Rip Van Winkles who jumped
up with a “Wha’ hoppened?” And
who is responsible?
Well, if the Rip Van Winkles
look honestly at what happened,
they will realize that in sleeping in
through Reaganomics, that conser-
vative “Never Never Land” of eco-
nomic pie-in-the-sky ideology and
not reacting to all of those clear
signs and accepting, without ques-
tioning, those outrageous excesses
and manipulations of the financial
industry, all share in the blame for
“Wha’ hoppened?”
SPENDING OURSELVES
OUT OF THE NATIONAL
OPINION
DEBT — It is absurd to believe
that national deficits cannot be
reduced. It’s easy. The national
government is capable of printing
more money until it is. But, of
course, the downside of that solu-
tion would be massive inflation. So
we need to take the clearly most
sensible option. Since we have a
mostly consumer-driven economy
and circulating money is the
lifeblood of the American econom-
ic system, we need to get as much
back into the economic blood-
stream as possible.
We do not do that by lowering
taxes on the very rich. I can tell
you from personal experience
where that saved money goes.
From the munificent period of
Ronald Reagan, it has gone into the
stock market where it serves no
more national purpose than kicking
up the prices. Or into personal use,
more homes, more furnishings and
antiques (the kind of purchases I
serviced that made me financially
independent) more cars, and the
like, but did not pour enough
money into the general economy to
make much of a difference in a
multi-trillion dollar economy.
The solution is to get the middle
class and the poor into the spend-
ing act again. As even President
George W. Bush, in an inspired
epiphany during an economic
downturn during his administration,
preached to the public: “Spend,
Baby, Spend!” A contraction in
spending, as during the Hoover
presidency, is economic suicide.
Even if more governmental stimu-
lus is needed, it will build up more
income from taxable goods and
services that will begin to attack
the unsustainable deficits, whichev-
er political party brought it on.
Finally, getting the hell out of
those bottomless money pits of
invasion in the Middle East will be
the most important kicks in the butt
for that ol’ bit of deficit and debt.
THE THEATER OF POLITI-
CAL ABSURDITIES — While
the Obama administration is chug-
ging along in the real world,
among the fantasies in the unreal
world are the ongoing churnings
about Obama’s birth, religion,
socialist leanings as well as poorly
disguised racism and as Rush
Limbaugh often writes, his desire
Weekend • Aug. 14-15, 2010
to destroy the capitalistic system.
Even the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce writes he has vilified
industries and that the United
States is burdened with an anti-
business president.
Which strikes me as bizarre,
because, on the other hand, in the
real world, like “Alice Through The
Looking Glass,” where reality is
reversed, he has been pounded
upon for agreeing to bail out the
reeling capitalistic financial system,
saving the American auto industry
and funding with stimulus money
the propping up of private and pub-
lic business among other “save cap-
italism” initiatives.
The Federal Reserve has noted
that under this “anti-business presi-
dent, corporate profits have hit
$1.37 trillion in the first quarter. An
all-time high. And his administra-
tion has dropped taxes for small
and large businesses and the corpo-
rate community is recovering faster
and better than the rest of the econ-
omy.
Some have big, big profits. Big
banks and Wall Street are super-
profitable again. With the Supreme
Court’s gift of personhood to cor-
porations, even the coal companies
are slushing together big funds to
cut down regulations in the coal
mining states, which is likely to
bring back the mine disasters and
lung diseases so ubiquitous during
my youth.
So, under this alleged Socialist
president all is well in the big busi-
ness world, again.
Some Socialist president! If they
hear about this at Socialist head-
quarters, they will drum him right
out of the party.

America’s relief
efforts deserve praise
Editor,
America is now at the forefront
in supplying relief to 13 million
Pakistanis ravaged by floods, just
as our country was at the vanguard
in relief efforts of the 2004 Indian
Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir
earthquake, the 2010 Haiti earth-
quake and countless other world
disasters. But is this what President
Obama was talking about when he
apologized to the world for
“American arrogance?” Wouldn’t it
be refreshing to hear President
Obama speak to the world, not
about America’s sins, but about her
goodness?

Caltrain revenue solution
Editor,
I’m a daily Caltrain rider from
San Mateo to Mountain View who
needs a bike in order to complete
my commute; Caltrain is not a
door-to-door solution.
Few places along the Caltrain
corridor provide public transit serv-
ice for that “last mile.” Therefore,
for many commuters, including
me, that “last mile” is done via
bicycle. I enjoy riding my bicycle,
but I don’t enjoy wondering if I’m
going to be bumped from a train. I
don’t enjoy wondering if I’ll be
stranded and unable to get to work
or return home.
Why is Caltrain losing money
yet bumping bicyclists? This is
because there are many bicyclist
customers, but insufficient pedestri-
an commuters. I recognize that
there is insufficient connector pub-
lic transit along the corridor to
increase the pedestrian count sig-
nificantly, but there are many
potential bicycle commuters who
choose not to take Caltrain because
they worry they may not find suffi-
cient bike space on a train. More
revenue can be raised by convert-
ing more cars into bicycle cars and
running at least two bicycle cars on
the older-style cars, and at least
three on the newer cars.

Consumer prices
rise after three
straight declines
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A rise in the cost of gas drove consumer
prices up last month by the most in nearly a year, but overall
inflation remained tame.
The Consumer Price Index, the government’s most closely
watched inflation measure, increased 0.3 percent in July, the
Labor Department said. That followed three months of
declines.
Pushing the index up was a 4.6 percent increase in the price
of gas. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the so-
called “core” price index increased 0.1 percent in July.
Over the past year, core consumer prices rose 0.9 percent —
the slowest pace in 44 years.
One small benefit of the weak economy is that it is keeping
prices in check. Consumers are spending cautiously and sav-
ing more, which makes it harder for companies to raise prices.
But low prices have not been enough to boost the recovery.
A separate report Friday showed that retail sales rose modest-
ly in July, but that was mostly due to higher auto and gasoline
purchases. Outside those categories, most other retailers saw
their sales fall.
Tame inflation allows the Federal Reserve to keep the key
interest rate it controls at a record low of nearly zero percent
in an effort to bolster economic growth. The Fed usually fights
rising inflation by raising rates.
And the first increase in overall prices in four months is
likely to ease concerns about deflation, which some Fed offi-
cials had raised in recent weeks. Deflation is a widespread and
prolonged drop in the price of goods, real estate and stocks. It
also reduces wages and makes it harder to pay off debts.

Stocks fall again
By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks extended their
losing streak to four days Friday after a
mixed batch of readings on consumers
further muddled investors’ sense of the
economy.
The major stock indexes fluctuated
throughout the day before closing slight-
ly lower. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age fell nearly 17 points and has now
lost almost 400 over four days. It was a
typically slow summer Friday, but only
partly due to vacations. Traders who
were working had little reason to make
any major moves because of economic
data that remains confusing.
One of the biggest obstacles to a
strong economic recovery is weak con-
sumer spending. Friday’s reports about
consumers’ attitudes and spending didn’t
point to a shopping rebound anytime
soon.
The Commerce Department said that
retail sales rose 0.4 percent in July. That
was an improvement after two months of
sales declines. But the number was just
below economists’ forecast of a gain of
0.5 percent. While the report showed
strength in auto sales due to buyers’
incentives, it also showed that con-
sumers are shying away from other pur-
chases.
No easy economic fix ahead
By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Federal
Reserve has little power left to lift the
economy out of its rut. Congress, with
an election looming, has no appetite for
more stimulus. Shoppers are reluctant to
spend, and businesses are slow to hire.
Let’s face it: There is no easy or immi-
nent fix for the flagging recovery.
The sluggish economic summer wore
on Friday with news that Americans
spent less at most retail stores in July.
Earlier this month came word that the
trade deficit is ballooning and compa-
nies are not adding jobs fast enough to
bring down unemployment.
Typically, the Fed can lower interest
rates to encourage Americans to borrow
money and spend it, invigorating the
economy. But the benchmark interest
rate controlled by the Fed has been
almost zero for more than a year now.
The Fed this week took a new step by
announcing it would use the proceeds
from its huge portfolio of mortgage
securities to buy government debt. The
idea is to make cheap credit a little
cheaper, particularly for things like
mortgages.
The problem there: Americans who
are worried about their jobs, not to men-
tion volatility in the stock market, don’t
want to borrow. They saved 6.2 percent
of their disposable income this spring.
Before the recession, it was more like
1.2 percent.
“You can’t force people to take out a
loan or spend money that they don’t
want to spend,” says Alice Rivlin, who
served as the Fed’s No. 2 official in the
late 1990s.
Shareholders file suit against HP over Hurd’s exit
THE ASSOCIATED PESS
NEW YORK — Shareholders of
Hewlett-Packard Co. have filed a “deriv-
ative lawsuit” against the technology
company and its board over former CEO
Mark Hurd’s abrupt resignation last
week.

Some better news came from the
University of Michigan/Reuters survey
of consumer sentiment for the first part
of August, which showed consumers are
slightly more optimistic. An index based
on the survey came in at 69.6, slightly
above analysts’ estimates and up from
July’s 67.8.
But retailer J.C. Penney Co. lowered
its earnings forecast for the year, citing
expectations that consumer spending
will be slow. J.C. Penney joined com-
petitor Kohl’s Corp., which lowered its
earnings outlook on Thursday.
These latest reports fell in line with a
long string of conflicting data that has
left investors unsure about where the
economy is headed. Consumer spending
has remained weak along with the labor
market. And there are no signs that
employers are ready to start hiring at a
pace to help lift the economy. On
Thursday, the Labor Department said the
number of people filing for unemploy-
ment benefits for the first time rose last
week.

By Martin Crutsinger

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans
spent less at most retail stores in July
and inflation remained tame as high
unemployment and weak job growth
fueled fears of a slowing economic
recovery.
A busy month for car dealerships
and higher gas prices lifted overall
retail sales 0.4 percent last month, the
Commerce Department said Friday. It
was the first overall gain in three
months.
Still, most retailers reported

fourth of the July figures — retail sales
Sure, the Fed still has options. It could
launch another trillion-plus-dollar pro-
gram to buy government debt or mort-
gage securities like it did when it was
battling the recession and financial cri-
sis.
Or the Fed could cut to zero the rate it
pays banks to keep money parked there,
a move aimed at getting banks to lend
more. But banks are not exactly feeling
free with their cash, either.

earnings numbers has added to
investors’ murky view of the economy. It
contributed to this week’s heavy selling.
“We’re in a fragile market,” said
Steven Goldman, chief market strategist,
Weeden & Co. in Greenwich, Conn. He
noted that the market’s decline is feeding
the lack of confidence among consumers
and investors. That inevitably has an
impact on the economy.
The Dow fell 16.80, or 0.2 percent, to
10,303.15. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 4.36, or 0.4 percent, to
1,079.25. The Nasdaq composite index
fell 16.79, or 0.8 percent, to 2,173.48.

ket has been. The Dow is down 3.3 per-
cent, while the S&P 500 is off 3.8 per-
cent. The Nasdaq composite index had
the steepest drop, 5 percent, in part
because of a cautious economic outlook
from Cisco Systems Inc.’s CEO, John
Chambers. He echoed the words used
last month by Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke, who called the outlook
for the recovery “unusually uncertain.”

ment, is seen as an economic bellwether.
fell 0.1 percent last month. Sales were
down 1 percent at department stores
and also dropped at specialty clothing
stores, furniture stores, hardware stores
and appliance stores.
“While retailers have seen a solid
gain in activity compared to last year,
the more recent three month trend has
been negative and that is not good
news,” said Joel Naroff, president of
Naroff Economic Advisors.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3
percent in July, the Labor Department
said. But that was mostly because of
rising gas prices. After stripping out
volatile food and gas prices, the so-
called “core” index increased 0.1 per-
cent. Over the past year, core consumer
prices rose 0.9 percent — the slowest
pace in more than four decades.

Croon building a career Giants get

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When Zin Croon decided to play football at

UNLV, he had no idea he would hit the jackpot.
In bodybuilding, not the pigskin. The 2003
Serra High graduate met reigning Mr. Olympia
Jay Cutler at a Gold’s Gym in Las Vegas in his
first year there and his life hasn’t been the same
since.
“I had always read the bodybuilding maga-
zines and watched shows when they used to be
on ESPN (when I was a kid), but I didn’t know
you could make a living out of it,” said Croon, a
2009 UNLV graduate. “It was all new to me.
Something was pulling me towards Vegas, and
once I met Jay, everything exploded from there.”
Has it ever.
Croon, 25, is on the cusp of earning his pro
card in the ultra-competitive bodybuilding world.
The 5-foot-10 Croon competes as a heavyweight
— he’s a ripped 265 pounds in the few weeks of
his offseason and a super sculpted 225 when he’s
training for a show — and has to place first in a
national open competition to earn his pro card.
Croon finished fourth at his most recent com-
petition on July 31, going up against guys who
were in their mid-to-upper 30s. Croon’s next
chance to win comes in Atlanta in two months.
“I’m one of the youngest guys out of all the
bodybuilders on the nationally-ranked level,”
Croon said. “I’ve pretty much won all the region-
al shows I could win, so now I’m one step away
from getting my pro card.”
Croon’s bodybuilding career has been on the
fast track ever since he met Cutler through a
mutual acquaintance. Cutler has won Mr.
Olympia — the sport’s biggest and most presti-
gious title — three times.
Cutler took Croon under his massive wing,
connecting Croon with sponsorships, shows and
people within the industry. More importantly,
Cutler gave Croon workout tips, sharing some
invaluable knowledge that Croon still uses today.
Croon worked hard to make sure his newfound
opportunity would not go to waste, and today he
considers Cutler one of his best friends.
“It was a shock meeting Jay at first,” Croon
said. “But meeting him showed me this is what I
wanted to do.”

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco
Giants made another move for the stretch run
Friday, acquiring veteran outfielder Jose
Guillen and cash considerations from the
Kansas City Royals in exchange for a player
to be named later.
The Giants haven’t been to the playoffs
since 2003 and were in the NL wild-card
chase until mid-September last season.
Getting over the hump in 2010 to end the six-
year drought is the franchise’s top priority.

seasons, said Guillen was
set to get into town late Friday and would miss

Saturday, when the club will be forced to

The Royals designated Guillen for assign-
ment last Thursday, giving them 10 days to
trade him, release him or send him to the
minors if he cleared waivers.

been busy in recent weeks. He has acknowl-

Kuchar in control — for now — at PGA Championship

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The only
thing clear after two days of fog-
induced havoc at the PGA
Championship is that Matt Kuchar
is playing very, very well.

birdies on his way to a 69 Friday
and, at 8 under, the early second-
round lead. But half of the field

Kuchar said. who missed the cut in his two previ-

and some calm Noh Seung-yul (71), Dustin
conditions. But sitting around right Johnson (68), Simon Khan (70),
now, it’s nice to be done.”
Rory McIlroy (68) and 2007
Nick Watney led a group of the
not-so-famous eager to extend the Masters champion Zach Johnson
season streak that saw first-timers (70).
“This is what we practice to do,”
Molder said. “To see if our game
and our practice and the work that
we do off the course and on the
course can pay off.”
Phil Mickelson, who has yet
another opportunity to take the
world No. 1 ranking from Tiger
Woods, had the makings of a great
day with six birdies. But it was
undercut by a double-bogey at 18
and another bogey, and he’s at 2
under for the tournament along with
Ernie Els.
“This is a penalizing golf course
to not play from the fairway. And I
certainly explored a lot of areas
here,” Lefty said.
Mickelson also hit a fan with his
tee shot on 15 — though Mickelson
made up for it by giving the guy a
glove that he signed and wrote
“Sorry” on, even putting a frowning
face inside the “o.”
Steve Stricker might have felt like
that frowning guy after his tee shot
on 17 landed below the par-3’s ele-
vated green. He banged it against
the embankment not once, but
twice, and wound up with a triple-
bogey. He’s at even par for the tour-
nament.

The 34-year-old Guillen signed a $36 mil-
lion, three-year contract three years ago that
made him the Royals’ highest-paid player per
year in team history. He spent the 2003 season
in the Bay Area with the Oakland Athletics.
Just a month ago, Guillen put together a hit-
ting streak that stretched to more than 20
games. He is batting .255 and led the Royals
with 16 home runs and 62 RBIs when he was

move allowed Kansas City to play highly tout-

Guillen also didn’t like being a reserve.
Guillen struggled with injuries in Kansas
City. He played in only 81 games last year and
hit nine home runs, tied for his fewest since

knee while he was putting on a shin guard and
missed several days of spring training in 2009

MINNEAPOLIS — Carl Pavano pitched
into the seventh inning for his 15th win,
Danny Valencia had two hits and two RBIs
and the Minnesota Twins held on to beat the
Oakland Athletics 4-3 on Friday night.
Pavano (15-7) allowed two runs and 10 hits

C.C. Sabathia and the Rays David Price for
the most wins in the American League.
Matt Capps allowed an unearned run in the

SAN FRANCISCO — Ryan Ludwick narrow-
ly beat Juan Uribe’s throw home to score the go-
ahead run in the sixth inning, and the NL West-
leading San Diego Padres held off the San
Francisco Giants 3-2 on Friday night for their
fifth straight victory.
Clayton Richard (10-5) earned his third
straight win over the Giants this season, helping
San Diego extend its division lead to 3 1/2 games
over San Francisco in a game the Padres played
under protest. It became a moot point when they
won.
The Padres quieted Jonathan Sanchez (8-8),
who no-hit them here July 10, 2009, after he
guaranteed a sweep of San Diego following his
outing at Atlanta last Sunday.
“We’re going to play San Diego, and we’re
going to beat them three times,” Sanchez said. “If
we get to first place, we’re not going to look
back.”
Sanchez’s comments only added fuel to this
highly anticipated weekend series between the
two contenders.

With runners on second
and third and one out in
the seventh, Ron Mahay
relieved Pavano and struck
out Cust. Casilla made a

hole at short off the bat of
Kevin Kouzmanoff to end
Daric Barton the threat.
Denard Span made a
sprawling catch in center field on Cliff
Pennington’s sinking liner to save a run and
end the sixth inning.
A combination of bad defense and control
problems cost A’s starter Gio Gonzalez (10-8)
in the first inning.
Span reached on an error to start the first
and scored when Gonzalez walked Jason
Kubel with the bases loaded. Valencia made it
2-0 with an RBI single later in the first.

ices of All-Star first-baseman Justin Morneau.

then the crew met about the play.
Padres manager Bud Black came out to argue.

Raiders’first-team offense
struggles in preseason opener
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The talk of a revitalized
offense for the Oakland Raiders under new
quarterback Jason Campbell and coordinator
Hue Jackson has been put on hold after the
exhibition opener.
The first-team offense struggled to move the
ball and was unable to generate any points in a
little more than a quarter of action in Thursday
night’s 17-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
The Raiders scored all of their points —
including a late interception return for a touch-
down by Jerome Boyd — in the fourth quarter,
long after most of the reg-
ulars on both teams had
called it a night.
“It’s a guy here and a
guy there,” coach Tom
Cable said Friday. “It looks
to be probably a little bet-
ter than what I thought last
night after the game. So I
think we can fix it, and fix
Jason it rather quickly.”
Campbell Campbell was 7 for 13
for 49 yards in his first game with the Raiders,
with most of his completions coming on short
passes underneath.
The Raiders will be counting on much more
from Campbell when the regular season starts.
They acquired him in a draft-day trade from
Washington and then cut loose former No. 1
overall pick JaMarcus Russell shortly after
that.
With Russell getting the bulk of the playing
time last year, the Raiders finished second-to-
last in the league in scoring with 197 points
and gained the second-fewest yards on the way
to their record seventh straight season with at
least 11 losses.
That led owner Al Davis to bring in Jackson
to replace Cable as the play-caller and to trade
for Campbell, who had fallen out of favor after
five years in Washington.
The Raiders generated only one first down in
three drives in the opening quarter with
Campbell and the first-team offense. Cable
then sent them out for an additional series that
was a little more successful, although Dallas
was resting some of its starters by then.
Michael Bush ran for a first down and
Campbell got two through the air on passes to
Louis Murphy and Todd Watkins as the
Raiders moved the ball to the Dallas 30. Then
on a fourth-and-1, Jackson called for a pass
play out of the shotgun and Campbell badly
SPORTS
missed tight end Zach Miller on his final throw
of the night.
The Raiders gained 48 of their 73 yards with
Campbell at quarterback on that last drive,
offering Cable some sense of optimism that
improvement could be coming.
“The rhythm thing was most important. I did
not like the second series very much,” Cable
said. “It just felt like we were going to put the
line and the quarterback back out there togeth-
er and see if they can kind of put some cohe-
siveness together which they were able to do a
little bit. The thing I am encouraged about is it
was a guy here or a guy there that were break-
ing down. I look for us to be better this week.”
Second-year receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey,
who had nine catches in a disappointing rook-
ie year, was unable to generate the production
the Raiders hoped for based on his drastic
improvements in practice.
Campbell threw only one pass Heyward-
Bey’s way on the first play of the game, but
Terrence Newman broke it up. When
Campbell did go deep, it was to Murphy. The
first pass was knocked away by a defender and
the second led Murphy to far outside and he
caught it out of bounds.
The bright spots offensively came from run-
ning backs Rock Cartwright and Michael
Bennett, who are battling for a spot behind
Michael Bush and Darren McFadden, and
receiver Nick Miller, who made a leaping
touchdown grab of a pass from Kyle Boller for
Oakland’s first score.
Bennett, a former Pro Bowler with
Minnesota, carried 12 times for 68 yards and
also had 33-yard reception off a screen pass.
Cartwright added seven carries for 25 yards
and caught two passes for 28 yards.
The biggest positives for the Raiders came
on the defensive side of the ball, where they
held the Cowboys to 263 yards, no touch-
downs and came up with six sacks.
The bulk of the pressure came from young
defensive ends Matt Shaughnessy and rookie
Lamarr Houston, who each had two sacks.
“It’s exciting,” Cable said. “They were pro-
ductive. They were productive not only rush-
ing the passer but against the run. They can do
better at some things for sure. I think definite-
ly an encouraging start.”
Notes: The Raiders reported no major
injuries from the game. CB Walter McFadden
had a minor shoulder injury and could practice
Saturday. LB Sam Williams had a possible
concussion and his status is unknown.
Leinart not taking
first game lightly
By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The first preseason
game is a chance for the veterans to shake the rust
off, the youngsters to show if they can handle
game speed instead of training camp pace.
Matt Leinart is taking a different tact. This ini-
tial preseason game is his chance to build trust
with his teammates, show them he’s ready to han-
dle all the responsibilities
that come with being
Arizona’s starting quarter-
back.
Saturday’s game against
Houston begins Leinart’s
second go-round as the sea-
son-opening starter and he
knows how important it will
be.
Matt Leinart “It’s huge. I’m definitely
not taking this preseason
lightly,” he said. “I don’t think you ever do, but
there’s always that mindset that ’I’m only going
to play a series.’ I’m going in knowing I’m not
going to play a whole lot, but I want to take
advantage of those opportunities.”
Leinart’s initial stint as Arizona’s starter didn’t
go so well.
It was 2007 and the heralded first-round draft
pick out of Southern California was coming off a
decent rookie season in which he threw for over
2,500 yards and 11 touchdowns after replacing
Kurt Warner in Week 5.
That gave Leinart the edge over the veteran the
next training camp and the left-hander opened as
starter. He lasted five games, sharing time with
Warner while throwing four interceptions and
two touchdowns with a quarterback rating of 61.9
before a broken collarbone ended his season.
Leinart has started one game since — after
Warner suffered a concussion — and spent the
Weekend • Aug. 14-15, 2010 13
past two seasons as an understudy to Warner,
who led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl in 2008
and another division title last season before retir-
ing.
Leinart gets another shot this season, no longer
as a star-in-the-making, but as a 27-year-old for-
mer Heisman Trophy winner still trying to prove
himself in the NFL five years after being drafted
with the 10th overall pick.
So far, it’s been a ho-hum start.
Leinart was pushed by new arrival and former
Pro Bowler Derek Anderson in offseason camps
and, after a decent start to training camp, had an
average-at-best initial scrimmage at the end of the
first week.
This first preseason game will be a chance to
see if he can sharpen his accuracy — he missed
on several deep balls in the scrimmage — and
prove to the coaches and his teammates that he
can be a take-charge leader like Warner was in the
huddle.
“I would like to see assertiveness,” Cardinals
coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “I would like to see
how he handles the huddle and the team.
Obviously, you want to see production but there’s
a lot of things we’ll evaluate from Matt that may
not necessarily be seen from the fans perspective.
“I’m excited to see if he can take what he’s
progressed with in the offseason and carry it onto
the field in this role he’s in now.”
Whisenhunt wasn’t sure exactly how much
Leinart would play against the Texans, saying cir-
cumstances of the game would dictate the quar-
terback rotation.
However long Leinart is out there, it will likely
go a long way in determining how much his
teammates trust his leadership.
Leinart took his offensive linemen, along with
their wives and girlfriends, on a bonding trip to
Hawaii during the offseason and Saturday he’s
looking to take the first big step toward solidify-
ing his connections with the rest of the team.

Dawson ready to be force at light heavyweight
By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chad Dawson is one of the best
fighters pound-for-pound in the
world, though that hasn’t always
translated into blockbuster ticket
sales. Only a few thousand people
turned out in his own backyard last
fall to see him defeat rugged veteran
Glen Johnson.
The affable Dawson insists he
didn’t feel slighted, though, and he
said this week that he isn’t bothered
about heading into someone else’s
territory, either.
Dawson takes on fellow titlehold-
er Jean Pascal on Saturday night in
Montreal.
“I am here to prove I am the best
light heavyweight in the world,”
Dawson said earlier this week. “I
like Montreal, the fans and the
organization, so far.”

Krzyzewski: Durant has been too unselfish
By Rachel Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Kevin
Durant is too unselfish.
That’s the one criticism U.S.
coach Mike Krzyzewski has of the
Oklahoma City Thunder forward so
far in the Americans’ preparations
for the world championships. He’s
watched Durant pass up too many
shots.
A team’s best player can’t do that.
Krzyzewski freely bestows that dis-
tinction on the 21-year-old Durant
and is confident the other players on
fights, but has struggled to gain a
foothold anywhere in the United
States. He defeated former cruiser-
weight champ and heavyweight
contender Tomasz Adamek at a
small arena in Florida, beat Johnson
in their first meeting in Tampa, then
won back-to-back fights against for-
mer 175-pound kingpin Antonio
Tarver in Las Vegas.
By the time they’ve filled their
closets with as many titles as
Dawson, most fighters have also
built a substantial fanbase, often
around their hometowns. But that’s
yet to happen for Dawson, who has
a decent knockout rate and engaging
personality but struggles at the gate.
That’s one of the reasons why his
promoter, Gary Shaw, tried to put
his second fight against Johnson last
fall in Hartford, Conn., a short drive
from his home in New Haven.
Everything worked out in the
ring, if not at the turnstiles. Dawson

thinks he is going to run like a

Canada, and he realizes that
Dawson hopes to leech some of

But he’s noticed his point guards,
Billups and Rajon Rondo, reminding
him when he’s not assertive enough.

game, I’m just letting him know we

become a fan favorite.
Perhaps this is his chance, though,

THE DAILY JOURNAL
CROON
Continued from page 11
Croon getting workout advice from Cutler
would be like a wide-eyed freshman quarterback
receiving guidance from Peyton Manning or
Tom Brady — he was learning from the
absolute best in the industry. Croon never played
a down for UNLV, taking a redshirt his freshman
year. Right after the season was done, Croon
decided to give up the sport.
“It just wasn’t for me,” he said. “I wasn’t hav-
ing fun anymore.”
Croon decided to focus hit talents elsewhere,
and that’s when his bodybuilding career began.
Croon had only trained for a year when he did his
first show five years ago at age 20, and since then
has gone on to do 10 more competitions, winning
the Junior Nationals in Chicago last year.
‘Amateur’ in name only
Even though Croon is technically an amateur,
he seemingly lives a pro lifestyle.He’s sponsored
by MuscleTech, one of the best-selling supple-
ment companies in the world. Croon has also
appeared numerous times in some of the sport’s
most popular magazines, including Flex and
Muscular Development, along with a number of
different European publications. Croon’s career
has taken him to photo shoots throughout Europe
and the U.S., with plenty of fun times — aka
partying — along the way.
It’s not easy
But most of the time Croon spends his time
training diligently for competition. Bodybuilding
SPORTS
isn’t just about pumping iron and maintaining a
strict diet. Posing plays a huge part in the sport. In
fact, posing is a competition and art in itself. If two
competitors are on equal footing physically, the
one who can best sell his or her poses to the judges
will prevail.
In addition to the mandatory poses — of which
there are many — bodybuilders need to incorpo-
rate other poses in their routine to be successful.
Once bodybuilders get on stage, they pose nonstop
for 30 minutes at a time, and up to two hours total
for a show. Just how important and tiring is pos-
ing?
“I’d rather go to the gym and lift a thousand
pounds for an hour than do 20 minutes of posing,”
Croon said. “(In posing) you have to flex every
single muscle in your body from your feet to neck.
Bodybuilding is like an illusion — you’re trying to
make your muscles look bigger than they actually
are. It’s like art to us. We look in the mirror and see
if we need bigger shoulders, then we work on
developing bigger shoulders. It takes a lot of prac-
tice to master the art of posing. Some (body-
builders) just don’t get it, and they never get it.”
But the ones who do are the ones who move up
in the sport’s ranks, and all signs seem to point to
Croon having a bright future. In technical body-
building terms, Croon explained his muscles
aren’t fully mature yet, meaning it will take a cou-
ple of more years for his muscles to become
“rounder and fuller” on par with many of the pros.
“In bodybuilding, the older you get, the better
you are,” he said. “You really don’t get muscle
maturity until you’re 27, 28, and for a male body-
builder your prime years start around 33. I still
have young muscle belly fat.”
Say what? With veins popping out all over his
body, legs the size of tree trunks and trapezius
muscles that could be mistaken for a volcano,
Croon resembles a Greek statue. Having said all
that, Croon acknowledges he still has a ways to go
until he realizes his dream of making — and per-
haps winning — a Mr. Olympia competition.
“One step at a time,” he said. “It takes a lot of
time, but I’m willing to do what it takes.”
Croon still comes back to the Bay Area a cou-
ple of times a month to train with renowned train-
er Hany Rambod, who also trains Cutler and a
number of other top pro bodybuilders. Croon will
usually stay a week each time he visits, working
out at the Gold’s Gym in Campbell under the
guidance of Rambod.
“I spend a week with Hany and then come back
to Vegas and try out all the new tricks I’ve
learned,” Croon said.
Hard-core dedication
It takes serious dedication to become a top-cal-
iber bodybuilder. In addition to posing, Croon said
one of the toughest parts of his sport is the strict
diet regimen he employs starting 10 to 12 weeks
leading up to a competition.
“That’s the period when you have to start grind-
ing down,” he said. “I’m eating every two and a
half to three hours, but it’s a very low calorie
intake, and you’re still lifting heavy. The last 10
weeks (leading up to a competition) it’s a lot of
protein and no sugar (at all). At times I’ll go as low
as zero to 50 (grams of) carbs a day, which is like
three slices of bread (whole wheat of course). I’ve
gone as long as six days with no water (usually in
the week leading up to weigh-ins). This is the time
when start feeling miserable and when it’s hard
sometimes to get up in the morning, but you have
to be a warrior and love what you do. And there’s
nothing I’d rather do than this.”
Because of the 24/7 demands of bodybuilding,
Croon said it’s the hardest sport he’s ever compet-
ed in. Here’s an athlete who not only was a stand-

out football player at Serra but also made the var-
sity for the school’s wrestling and track and field
teams to go along with playing at the junior varsi-
ty level for the baseball and basketball squads.
Baseball was Croon’s favorite activity growing
up, and he played the sport in the summer every
year starting in the first grade. Football became his
No. 1 love in high school, and it was only as a
freshman at UNLV did Croon’s bodybuilding
career begin to take shape.
Of course, one could say it was years in the
making. Croon was 5 and visiting relatives in
Atlanta when his uncle took him to a gym for
which Lee Haney was working. Haney is a leg-
endary figure in the bodybuilding industry, win-
ning the Mr. Olympia crown a remarkable eight
consecutive years, from 1984-1991.
“That kind of started everything (bodybuilding
dreams),” Croon said. “What inspired me was see-
ing him and how successful he was, and how
everyone looked at him and said, ‘Wow,’ when he
walked into the room. I wanted to be that person.”
In a way, Croon has done just that. When he was
a freshman at UNLV, heads would start spinning
as soon as Croon entered the on-campus fitness
center. Girls would be staring at him wanting to
hook up, and guys would constantly come up to
him to ask for workout tips.
“It was uncomfortable because I’d have eyes on
me the whole time,” Croon said. “I couldn’t con-
centrate, so I had to find a hard-core gym. In the
college gym, they weren’t used to seeing a freak.
That’s when I started going to Gold’s.”
When Croon first met Cutler, the reigning Mr.
Olympia told him, “You have a good physique and
could do well in the sport.” Almost seven years
later, Croon has done nothing to disappoint his
mentor, friend and one of the sport’s all-time
greats.

Writers analyze
100 must-read
thriller novels
By Waka Tsunoda
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As a child, David Morrell was constantly

afraid. His parents often quarreled. He also
had to spend time in an orphanage. To escape
from this harsh reality, he immersed himself in
thrillers.
He went on to create the iconic character of
Rambo, write many best-selling action-adven-
ture novels and co-found the International
Thriller Writers organization (ITW), aimed at
educating the public about the form and
encouraging mem-
bers to explore its
creative possibili-
ties.
Now, he and his
fellow ITW mem-
bers have chosen
100 works of sus-
pense on the basis
of the impact each

Outside Land returns today at Golden Gate

musical acts across four stages. Tickets for the
two-day festival range from $75 to $140 (plus
pricier VIP packages are also available) and
while the titanic names of yesteryear may not
be coming, organizers of the event have put
together what they hope will be a fantastic
sample of what the Bay Area has to offer.
The aforementioned Kings of Leon will
grace the stage Sunday night. Headlining a
festival of this magnitude is a first for Kings
and it’s something to which they look for-
ward.
“We love playing festivals and we love San
Fran,” said Kings of Leon drummer Nathan
Followill. “So I think with those two things
together ... it should be a great time. There are
so many great bands playing as well so I’m
more excited to listen than actually sing I’m
pretty sure.”
Kings of Leon will be preceded by acts like
Al Green, Phoenix and Social Distortion on
Sunday.

But this weekend isn’t just about the music.
For yet another year, Outside Lands has man-

Festival goers are also encouraged to visit
“Wine Lands” — a collection of 26 fine local

“Eco Lands” will once again be the epicen-

Throughout its existence, Outside Lands has
continued to implement innovative approach-
es to ensure the most environmentally sustain-
able event possible, including a completely
solar powered stage, a refillable water pro-
gram, cell phone recycling and urban garden-

And there will be plenty of other things to
enjoy at the festival like the Chase Freedom

Buffalo Bill and hot springs
By Beth J. Harpaz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CODY, Wyo. — If you’re planning a vaca-
tion in Yellowstone, consider side trips to a
trio of unusual destinations in Wyoming on
your way to and from the park: Devils
Tower, Cody and Thermopolis.
DEVILS TOWER: This natural stone for-
mation is a national monument, managed by
the National Park Service. It’s located in
northeast Wyoming, not far from the South
Dakota border, about 80 miles from the
Black Hills town of Deadwood. It’s an awe-
some sight, rising 867 feet from its base or
1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River,
“upthrust against the gray sky as if in the
birth of time the core of the earth had broken
through its crust,” as Native American writer
N. Scott Momaday put it.
The tower’s top appears flat from a dis-
tance but the National Park Service describes
it as being slightly domed, about the size of
a football field. But Devils Tower’s most dis-
tinctive features are what appear to be long
vertical stripes covering the sides. These are
actually parallel columns of rock that frac-
tured as the molten magma that formed the
tower cooled eons ago.
More than 20 tribes consider the tower a
sacred site and many Native American sto-
ries describe the lines in the rock as claw
marks from a bear. It’s not unusual to see
bundles of colored cloth or other religious
offerings in the park around the tower.
A relatively easy trail, about 1.3 miles, cir-
cles the tower. Some 5,000 climbers a year
scale the tower; climbers must register with
the park service beforehand. Details at
http://www.nps.gov/deto/.
CODY: This town was founded by Bill
Cody, also known as Buffalo Bill, in 1896.
Yellowstone’s east entrance is just 52 miles
away but it’s worth spending a day or so
here, rather than just using the town as a

THERMOPOLIS: On a rocky hill over-
looking this quiet town of 3,000 is a hand-
painted sign: “World’s largest hot springs,”
with an arrow.
These springs gush millions of gallons of
mineral water a day at a constant tempera-
ture of 135 degrees. Cooled to a more com-
fortable temperature, the water can be
enjoyed by visitors in several different ven-
ues around town.
The landmarked Plaza Hotel, located with-
in Hot Springs State Park, has a spa fed by
the springs. The hotel, founded in 1918, is on
the National Register of Historic Places.
Renovated in 1999, it’s operated by Best
Western and is a comfortable place to spend
the night. (Rates range from about $130-
$160, depending on room size and date.)
You can also walk to a small, scenic natu-
ral pool in the park or sample the waters in a
public bath house on park grounds. Kids will
enjoy the slides at two funky water parks —

Fare hikes,service cuts for Caltrain
By Saul Sugarman
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Falling ridership and a $2.3 million
budget gap could force fare hikes and a
dramatically reduced number of trains in
the Bay Area, Caltrain officials said
Friday.
Managers are considering increasing
Caltrain fare by 25 cents, reducing the
number of trains running on weekdays,
and completely suspending weekend
service.
“Our pockets are empty,” Caltrain
Executive Director Michael Scanlon
said.
Ridership has gone down almost 6
percent in the last year, spokeswoman
Christine Dunn said. In addition,
Caltrain has received $10 million less in
state funding each year from 2009
through the 2011 fiscal year.
“We don’t see a light at the end of
this tunnel,” Dunn said. “We’re dan-
gerously close to that tipping point
when you begin to lose ridership, and
then it becomes a vicious cycle with

Donations came in from San Mateo
Lumber and the Parent Teacher
Association donated funds. Then it was
just about man power. Parents and
Principal Alicia Heneghan gathered to
put up the two fenced-in garden areas
before school started earlier this month.
Life science lessons are incorporated
into the various classes. Now the garden
will allow some hands-on lessons, said
Heneghan.
“The kids are totally psyched,” said
Heneghan. “The parents are so excited.
This is an excellent opportunity for
kids.”
Fifth grade teacher Karin Pickard has
wanted open space to use for teaching
since starting at Beresford 11 years ago.
Pickard is helping talk to other schools
to learn how they have used the garden
to supplement other lessons. She envi-
sions children tending to the garden
daily.
Such a move will give the kids respon-
sibilities, Star pointed out.
In addition, Pickard already noticed a
change in children who have a tough
time sitting still during class. Having a
chance to go outside and work in the
garden as part of the lesson makes focus-
ing inside easier, she said.

“It is hard to reach out to all of them,”
Park said.
Park’s most pressing issue is strength-
ening the state’s building codes to better
prepare for a catastrophic earthquake.
Park was impressed with how Chile
weathered a recent earthquake and wants
to make sure the state, particularly San
Francisco, will be prepared for a big
temblor.

The proposed increases in base and
zone fares could generate up to $2.4 mil-
lion annually, which would cover the
$2.3 million budget gap Caltrain faces.
Other proposals include a suspension
of service to Gilroy and a redefinition
of youth to ages 17
years and

Currently, high
school students
who are 18 years old still qualify for
youth-related discounts.
The weekend and weekday service
cuts could save $544,000 annually, but
Caltrain officials understand the risk of
this proposal, Dunn said.
“As we cut service to feed our budget,
we begin to lose riders,” she said. “We
understand the consequences to making
these kinds of changes, but we’re being
forced to make them.”
Changes could take effect as early as
this October, when Caltrain might shut
down ticket offices in San Francisco and
San Jose. Train schedules and fare hikes

His main focus for San Mateo County
is to improve the area’s public trans-
portation system, maintain critical health
care and social services and to prevent
the state from taking any more money
out of the county to fix its $20 billion
deficit.
“I will continue to fight state take-
aways,” Yee said.
He wants to get as much funding as
possible from the California High-Speed
Rail Authority to help improve the coun-
ty’s transportation system.
“They have a major pot of money. It
needs to be leveraged as much as possi-
ble for improvements in the county,” he
said.
Yee also described San Mateo County
bilities for further consolidation of [fire
departments]. There’s still a lot of
money to be saved,” he said.
The fire engine at Station 36 will no
longer be in service. Central County
office positions will remain at the site
Monday through Friday. Calls normally
handled by the Rollins Road location
will be overseen by Station 34, located at
January 2011.
Caltrain has been facing ongoing
budget problems, according to officials.
Last year, the company eliminated eight
midday trains and
increased parking
fees in order to
handle a $2.6
million budget
gap.
The company
also froze admin-
istrative staff
salaries and non-
essential hiring over the
past two years.
Effective 2011, all staff will take 17
mandatory furlough days, which is up
from 10 furlough days in 2010 and four
days in 2009.
Train riders will be able to voice their
opinions on the current proposals in
meetings at four different locations on
Aug. 19.
The meetings will start at 6 p.m. at the
San Francisco Caltrain station, the San
Carlos Caltrain Headquarters and the
San Jose Diridon station.

“The county is becoming more urban-
ized. With that comes an array of social
problems. The more cuts to health care
and social services that are made just
make the problem grow and then
become a bigger burden on the county,”
Yee said.
Park’s focus is primarily on patching
up roads in San Francisco and improving
traffic flow in the city through engineer-
ing solutions.
“We need better streets in San
Francisco,” Park said.

Something to which you’ve devoted considerable time and
effort is likely to begin to yield some rewards in the year
ahead. It’ll be just the beginning of what’s to come as long as
you continue to stay on top of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - The best way to make certain a joint
endeavor will be successful is to make sure the workload is
equally distributed. Once done, each contributor must focus
solely on doing his/her part.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Your mental faculties are extra
sharp right now, so you shouldn’t have any trouble handling
whatever assignments are thrown at you. Concentrate on
using your logic and keen imagination.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Pals know you understand how to
gather the right people together to have a good time. Whether
you want to or not, you’ve been chosen to arrange the social
activities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Even if you have to put aside
your social plans for the moment, finalize the serious mat-
ter that’s hanging fire so that it doesn’t become critical and
cause all kinds of problems.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Make an effort to get
in touch with the friend who has been on your mind lately.
Something could be up with the person of your thoughts, and
they could use some help.
as negotiating a delicate matter. Primal insight can give you
a definite edge.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - A personal interest can be
advanced, but only if you are able to operate independently,
free from all outside interference. You need plenty of time and
space in order to do your own thing.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Something in which you’re
interested has a greater array of ancillary benefits than you
ever thought possible. You might begin to see things in a new
light that’ll help you see them.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - The impression you make
encourages others to look at you in a new light and appreci-
ate some of your wonderful qualities that previously went
unnoticed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - You’ll get a lot further if you
find a way to pursue your objectives as unobtrusively as pos-
sible. When you screen your work and intentions from others,
you’re free to be more effective.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - The probabilities for success
would be enhanced if you test your ideas out as rapidly as
you conceive them. The fact is, sitting on them is likely to
dilute your belief and interests in them.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
VIRGINIA JEAN BRINK, aka VIRGINIA
J. BRINK, aka VIRGINIA BRINK
Case Number 120311
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Virginia Jean Brink, aka
Virginia J. Brink, aka Virginia Brink. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by:
Madie Sperry in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Madie
Sperry be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal 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 ob-
jection of 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: September 3, 2010
at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 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 four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. 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 DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Eight-year-old painting prodigy is new art star

By Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOLT, England — He’s Britain’s most
talked-about young artist. His paintings fetch
hefty sums and there’s a long waiting list for
his eagerly anticipated new works.
It has all happened so quickly — he’s still
getting used to the spotlight — and Kieron
Williamson fidgets a little when he’s asked to
share his thoughts on art.
“Cows are the easiest thing to paint,” said
Kieron, who has just turned 8. “You don’t
have to worry about doing so much detail.”
Horses, he says, are “a lot harder. You have
to get their legs right, and you have to make
their back legs much bigger than their front.”
Paintbrush prodigy Kieron — dubbed “mini
Monet” by the British press — is a global sen-
sation. All 33 of the pastels, watercolors and
oil paintings in his latest exhibition sold,
within half an hour, for a total of 150,000
pounds ($235,000). Buyers from as far away
as the United States lined up overnight out-
side the gallery, and there is a 3,000-strong
waiting list for his impressionistic landscapes
of boat-dotted estuaries, snowy fields and
wide marshland skies.
He has a website and a business card.
Strangers approach him at the gallery, asking
him to sign postcards of his work. Journalists
from around the world travel to his small
home town in eastern England to interview
him.
Kieron Williamson — dubbed ‘mini Monet’by the British press — is a global sensation.All 33
of the pastels,watercolors and oil paintings in his latest exhibition sold,within half an hour,for
a total of 150,000 pounds ($235,000).
Kieron shrugs off the attention. “It feels
normal to me,” he says.
It definitely doesn’t feel normal to his par-
ents, Keith and Michelle Williamson. They
are bemused, proud and a little anxious about
their son’s talent and its effects.
“It has been overwhelming,” said Michelle
Williamson, a 37-year-old nutritional thera-
pist. She and her 44-year-old art dealer hus-
band live in a small apartment with Kieron
and his 6-year-old sister, Billie-Jo.
Kieron was a normal, energetic little boy,
and his parents were surprised when he asked
for pencils and paper during a holiday in
Cornwall two years ago. They were aston-
ished when the then-5-year-old produced an
accomplished picture of boats in a harbor. He
progressed rapidly to fully realized land-
scapes, many depicting the flat, open Norfolk
countryside near their home.
“Keith and I don’t paint, so we find it diffi-
cult to know what’s going on inside his head,”
Michelle said.
“We don’t understand it. We don’t know
where it comes from. But he’s adamant it’s
what he wants to do. When your child has got
such a gift and a talent, you have to support
him.”
That hasn’t stopped the Williamsons worry-
ing about whether they are doing the right
thing in exposing him to so much attention.
They showed Kieron’s work to a local gallery,
which has mounted two exhibitions and is
helping them cope with the flood of global
interest.
“It’s not a natural thing to want to put your
kid in the media spotlight,” Michelle said.
“We’ve met so many sharks. All they see is
the financial element. They don’t see the emo-
tional stuff. You can’t separate the art from
Kieron.”
A self-possessed blond boy, dressed in a
polo shirt, shorts and sneakers, Kieron doesn’t
seem like a hothouse prodigy.
He likes soccer — he plays defense for a
school team — and messing around on the
broad North Sea beaches near his home in
Holt, a pretty Georgian town 125 miles (200
kilometers) northeast of London.
When he talks about his work, it’s with a
striking mix of the adult and the childlike. He
can discuss his color choices and the interplay
of light and dark, but also remembers more
idiosyncratic details.

Russia: Iran’s nuclear plant to get fuel next week

By Vladmir Isachenkov
and George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Russia announced Friday it
will begin the startup next week of Iran’s only
atomic power plant, giving Tehran a boost as it
struggles with international sanctions and high-
lighting differences between Moscow and
Washington over pressuring the Islamic
Republic to give up activities that could be used
to make nuclear arms.
Uranium fuel shipped by Russia will be
loaded into the Bushehr reactor on Aug. 21,
beginning a process that will last about a month
and end with the reactor sending electricity to
Iranian cities, Russian and Iranian officials said.
“From that moment, the Bushehr plant will
be officially considered a nuclear energy instal-
lation,” said Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for
the Russian nuclear agency.
If Russia carries out its plan, it will end years
of foot-dragging on Bushehr. While Moscow
signed a $1 billion contract to build the plant in
1995, its completion has been put off for years.
Moscow has cited technical reasons for the
delays. But Bushehr has also been an ideal way
to gain leverage with both Tehran and
Washington. Delaying the project has given
Russia continued influence with Tehran in inter-
national attempts to have it stop uranium
enrichment — a program Iran says it needs to
make fuel for an envisaged reactor network but
which also can be used to create fissile warhead
material. The delays also have served to placate
the U.S., which opposes rewarding Iran while it
continues to defy the U.N. Security Council
with its nuclear activities.
After Russia said in March that Bushehr
would be launched this year, U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that until
Iran reassures the world it is not trying to build
a nuclear weapon, “it would be premature to go
ahead with any project at this time.”
Formally, the U.S. has no problem with
Bushehr.
Although at first opposed to Russian partici-
pation in the project, Washington and its allies
agreed to remove any reference to it in the first
set of Security Council sanctions passed in REUTERS

stabbing spree in the United States was also a suspect in a stab-
bing near his hometown in Israel. But what drove Elias
Abuelazam remains a mystery: Relatives describe a shy man
from a respected family who had recently become despondent.
Profilers say the case is baffling because, despite five deaths,
murder did not appear to be the goal.
Abuelazam is suspected of attacking people in Michigan,
Ohio and Virginia, leaving 13 people wounded in addition to the
dead. He was arrested Wednesday in Atlanta as he prepared to
board a flight to his native Israel, where relatives said he lived
until his family sent him to the U.S. when he was 18.
The 33-year-old man appeared briefly Friday in an Atlanta
courtroom and agreed to return to Michigan to face an attempt-
ed murder charge in one of the attacks — a July 27 stabbing in
Flint, Mich., that put the victim in the hospital for a week.
Authorities said more charges were expected in the three
states.
A family member in this poverty-stricken community said
Abuelazam had become unhappy about his personal life in
recent months. And others in the Arab neighborhood where he
grew up expressed shock that the man they knew could be a sus-
pect in the gruesome attacks.
“I wouldn’t believe it even if I saw it with my own eyes,” said
Abuelazam’s 49-year-old cousin, also named Elias Abuelazam.
100-year-old Scotch pulled from frozen crate
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A crate of Scotch whisky
that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened
Friday — but the heritage dram won’t be tasted by whisky lovers
because it’s being preserved for its historical significance.
The crate, recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned
explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton after it was found there in 2006,
has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury
Museum in Christchurch on New Zealand’s South Island.
The crate was painstakingly opened to reveal 11 bottles of
Mackinlay’s Scotch whisky, wrapped in paper and straw to pro-
tect them from the rigors of a rough trip to Antarctica for
Shackleton’s 1907 Nimrod expedition.
Though the crate was frozen solid when it was retrieved earli-
er this year, the whisky inside could be heard sloshing around in
the bottles. Antarctica’s minus 22 Fahrenheit (-30 Celsius) tem-
perature was not enough to freeze the liquor, dating from 1896
or 1897 and described as being in remarkably good condition.
This Scotch is unlikely ever to be tasted, but master blenders
will examine samples of it to see if they can replicate the brew.
The original recipe for the Scotch no longer exists.
Trinidad oil company denies spill reached ocean
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — Trinidad’s petroleum company
said Friday that crews are cleaning up a spill that seeped into
rivers, but denied claims by fishermen that the oil had reached
the ocean.
Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Ltd. said it fixed
a leak in an underground transfer pipe that released oil into the
Godineau River and tributaries on the Caribbean island this
week.
An estimated five barrels of oil spilled, Petrotrin supervisor
Andrew Sinnon Trunkline told reporters at the cleanup site.
Fishermen at San Fernando’s King’s Wharf, about 15 miles
(24 kilometers) to the north, said oil was contaminating their
nets. They told the Guardian newspaper that oil had spread at
least five miles (eight kilometers) into the sea.
Petrotrin denied that, saying it collected water samples at the
Gulf of Paria. “Investigations so far have not established any link
between the Company’s operations and the oil like substance,”
its statement said.
