The coming election will likelypass without Belmont votersweighing in on a sales taxincrease as city officials havedetermined the results of a pollshow a ballot measure is barelyfeasible.

Yet some argue officials areexaggerating the city’s financialpredicament and should be more

prudent i n its spending.For the second year, Godbe

Research has polled likely votersto determine the efficacy of insti-tuting a utility user tax and thisyear, considered a half-cent salestax increase as well.

After poll ing more than 300 res-idents, consultants determined thesupport for a utility user tax hasdiminished by nearly 20 percent

and only 52 p ercent of uninformedvoters said they’d support a sales

“I can think of nothing moreobvious that separates us from

By Paul J. EliasTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco’s sher-iff touched off a new round of fighting Fridayin the immigration enforcement blame-gamethat has surrounded the shooting death of ayoung woman walkin g with her father along ascenic pier.

Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi ardently defendedhis jail’s release of a Mexican national laterblamed for the slaying of 32-year-old KathrynSteinle, saying federal officials know city lawrequires a warrant or court order to detain aninmate for deportation.

U.S. Immigration and CustomsEnforcement officialsfired back, sayingMirkarimi has mischarac-terized the incident andshown a “manifest misun-derstanding of federalimmigration law” bydemanding a warrant fordeportation to cooperatewith federal authoriti es.

“There is no such docu-ment, nor is th ere any fed-

eral court with the authority to issue one,” ICEsaid in a st atement. The agency has said JuanFrancisco Lopez Sanchez would have beendeported if the San Francisco jail had com-plied with it s requests.

The latest salvos come as the case domi-nates the immigration debate. Top politiciansfrom both parties have criticized SanFrancisco’s law of non-cooperation withimmigration officials and have called on thecity — and the estimated 300 other munici-palities with similar laws — to revamp theirpolicies.

In respons e, Mirkarimi called Friday’s CityHall news conference to “set the recordstraight” about the sequence of events that ledto Sanchez’s April release.

Mirkarimi told a packed crowd of reportersthat he personally informed high-rankingDepartment of Homeland Security officials of the city’s requirements i n February.

He also criticized San Francisco Mayor EdLee and others for suggesting that the sher-

iff’s department had a minimum duty to makea phone call to alert ICE of Sanchez’ releasefrom jail. “We require a warrant,” Mirkarimisaid. “I don’t th ink we can be subjective.”

Assisting immigration officials without awarrant “really defeats the purpose of the law,”Mirkarimi said.

“Our policy will cont inue to reflect the spir-it and letter of the law,” he added.

Aside from saying no such warrants exist,ICE has said it relies on cooperation from

 jails across the nation to arrange deporta-tions. The agency has said tracking downimmigration offenders without local assis-tance requires far more resources and manpow-er.

Investigators have said Sanchez shot andkilled Steinle as she walked with her fatherand a family friend July 1 . Sanchez had sever-al drug convictions and was in the U.S. ille-gally after being deported several times.

Authorities have said the gun used in therandom shooting had been stolen.

Sanchez, meanwhile, has said he found thegun wrapped in a T-shirt and that it went off accidentally.

He remains jailed on $5 million bail await-ing trial after pleading not guilty to murdercharges.

Groups advocating stricter immigrationenforcement are hoping the episode leads tocloser collaboration between local lawenforcement and immigration authorities. Inrecent years, California, Connecticut, RhodeIsland and the District of Columbia have

 joined 293 cities and counties to restrictcooperation, according to the Catholic LegalImmigration Network Inc.

“Having to obtain a court order as suggestedby the sheriff is a waste of taxpayer dollarsand valuable court resources and time when thereal problem is the sanctuary policy,” Sen.Chuck Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in astatement. “The roadblocks that some stateand locals put up preventing cooperationshould be kicked to th e curb in order to protectpublic safety.”

Still, the American Civil Liberties Unionand others argue the restricted cooperationprevents unfair deportations.

LOCAL EXPERTISE.GLOBAL REACH.

By Don Thompson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — Nearly 15 hours after ariot at a Northern California prison, guardsfound a missi ng i nmate sawed nearly in two,with his abdominal organs and most chestorgans removed, h is b ody folded and stuffedinto a garbage can in a shower stall a fewdoors from his cell.

Details of the gruesome May killing at themedium-security California State Prison,Solano, are laid out in an autopsy reportobtained by the Associated Press under apublic records request.

The grisly discovery raises obvious ques-tions about the prison’s security: How couldsuch a gruesome killing happen inside alocked facility with security and surveil-lance? How could someone obtain weapons

sharp eno ugh to dissect a body? And why didit take so long t o uncover?

Homicides are distressingly common inCalifornia prisons. More than 160 inmateshave been killed in the last 15 years, and thestate has one of the nation’s highest inmatehomicide rates. Yet the death of 24-year-oldNicholas Anthony Rodriguez stands out.

Rodriguez’s missing organs are “still partof the investigation” at the prison inVacaville, 40 miles southwest of Sacramento, Department of Corrections andRehabilitation spokeswoman TerryThornton said Friday.

Hobson and his co-defendant Jason Spears,a 22-year Redwood City resident, reportedlyencountered the victim who was seen talkingto Hobson’s ex-girlfriend on the 400 block of Lauren Avenue. Hobson challenged him to afight and slashed the man’s neck and face witha letter opener while Spears and two other

 jumped in to help , according to p rosecutors.Sheriff’s deputies arrested Spears at the

scene but Hobson fled and later surrendered.Spears pleaded no contest to felony assault inFebruary in exchange for three years proba-tion and 60 days in jail, according to prosecu-tors.

An allegedly armed 17-year-old boy wasshot by deputies in Boulder Creek lateThursday n ight and died of his injuries earlyFriday morning, a Santa Cruz County sher-iff’s spokesman said.

The boy, who has not been identified,allegedly beat his grandfather and killed akitten before the shooting, sheriff’s Lt.Kelly Kent said.

Around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, deputiesresponded to a reported family dispute at ahome in the 15 000 b lock of Fern Flat Road,sheriff’s Lt. Kelly Kent said.

Two deputies arrived and met with the

boy’s g randparents at th e home’s driveway.The grandparents reported their g randson,

who lives at the home, was alone insidebreaking furniture and windows and hadaccess to guns, Kent said.

The boy was allegedly armed with a club,similar to one used in martial arts, that hebeat his grandfather with, Kent said.

The grandfather was treated for hisinjuries in the alleged attack and did notneed to visit a hospital, according to Kent.

While inside the home the boy allegedlykilled a kitten, the spok esman said.

The deputies set up a perimeter and estab-lished communication with the boy fromoutside the residence, according to Kent.

Firefighters and an ambulance were staged

nearby and hostage negotiators were calledto the scene, he said.

About 45 minutes later, the boy emergedfrom the home carrying a shotgun and arifle, which he pointed at one of thedeputies, according to Kent.

The deputies then shot at the boy, whowas struck three times in the to rso and oncein the hand, Kent said.

The deputies rendered aid to the boy, whowas conscious and talking when an ambu-lance arrived and took him to a helicopterthat airlifted him to Stanford Hospital,according to Kent.

He was pronounced dead shortly before4:30 a.m. Friday, Kent said.

The deputies, whose n ames have not been

released, were not injured in the shootingand have been placed on paid administ rativeleave, the spokesman said.

The invol ved deputies were a six -year vet-eran and a two-year veteran, according toKent.

Investigators are looking into the circum-stances leading up to the incident, Kentsaid.

The Santa Cruz County District Atto rney’sOffice is also con ducting a separate investi-gation into t he shooting, Kent said.

“This is a tragic case for everybodyinvolved and my thoughts and prayers goout to th e young man’s family as well as o urdeputy sheriffs involved in this case,”Sheriff Jim Hart said in a statement.

Lead artis t Sudhu Tewari is referring to The

Crucible’s home at 126 0 Seventh Street.Fifteen students from neighborhoods all

over Oakland came together each Fridayevening during last six or seven weeks totalk about and create the sculptures, Tewarisaid.

They asked themselves whether their

work could speak for West Oakland orwhether they could express a lofty idea, hesaid. In th e end, he said, t hey decided to letthe upcoming installation speak for thecommunity at The Crucible.

He said the sculptures will be on displayFriday so peopl e can look at t hem and offerideas for the installation. Students willunveil at least five sculptures in varyingstages of completion.

Tewari said the sculptures are made most lyof recycled bike p arts, such as ones unfit fora working bike.

We’re “kind of doing a zero waste th ing, ”he said.

Some sculptures have names. Da Vinci’sWheel is based on Leonardo da Vinci’s

design for a perpetual motion machine.The creation i s a hand crank and spinn ing

wheel with arms and arrows in colors of robin’s egg blue, royal blue and threeshades of pink, from pastel to fluorescent,Tewari said.

SACRAMENTO — A judge ruled Fridaythat California regulators violated somefarmers’ rights by telling them to stopdiverting from rivers and streams, but thestate says it can still p unish th ose who ille-gally take water during the drought.

The temporary restraining order bySacramento Superior Court ShelleyanneChang blocks the state from punishingfarmers who ignored a state notice issuedearlier this year to immediately stop divert-ing water. The ruling only applies t o dozensof farmers in the Central Valley and the i rri-gation districts serving them.

The two sides had divergent views of what

the ruling meant, with attorneys for thefarmers suggesting it had sweeping impli-cations for the state’s regulatory authority,while the state said it only meant it neededto tweak its notices.

Residents, farmers and businesses acrossCalifornia have endured water restrictionsbecause of the state’s four-year dry spell.

Those cutbacks include notices by the StateWater Resources Control Board that riversand streams are running too dry to providewater entitled to them.

Thousands have received these so-calledcurtailment notices in the last year, butonly about a third responded to confirmthey stopped taking water. The judge ruledFriday that the water board’s noticesimproperly told districts and land ownerswith water rights to stop taking water with-

out holding a hearing first.The ruling bars the state from fining peo-

ple who don’t fill out paperwork respondingto notices, but regulators can still targetthem for investigations of illegal waterdiversions. Penalties are as high as $1,00 0a day and $2, 500 per acre-foot of water ille-gally taken.

Attorneys for water rights holders say theruling throws all the state’s cutbacks intoquestion.

“The practical implication is that thecourt has reminded the st ate board that waterrights are a form of property rights, andthey have to use a lot more care when theyare trying to regulate them,” said JenniferSpaletta, an attorney for the Central DeltaWater Agency which represented dozens of farmers with water right s.

The State Water Resources Control Boardsays the ruling may require it to tweak itsnotice letters, but still allows it to punishthose who illegally take water.

“As it keeps gett ing drier as summer goeson, the notices have to go out to more andmore people, but the judge only tookumbrage with some of the language,” said

David Rose, an attorney with the waterboard.Rose says the board will hold hearings

before it issues any penalties for illegaldiversions. Stuart Somach, a Sacramento-based attorney whose firm has a separatechallenge to the board’s orders, says theboard faces long-drawn out challenges thatwill result in little water savings.

“If the goal is to address drought andwater, it will do very little,” said Somach.

Tom Selleck, water districtreach tentative settlement

LOS ANGELES — Tom Selleck reached atentative settlement Thursday in a lawsuitthat claims he sto le truckloads of water froma public hydrant and took it to his ranch indrought-stricken California.

Resource manager Eric Bergh with theCalleguas Municipal Water District inVentura County said he could not provideany details about the agreement until it’sapproved.

The proposed settlement will go beforethe district’s water board Wednesday.

“Staff recommendation will be to accept,”Bergh said.

A representative for Selleck didn’t i mme-diately return a request for comment.Selleck’s wife was also named in th e suit.

The lawsuit filed by the Calleguas

Municipal Water Districtclaims a tanker truckfilled up at a hydrant andhauled water to Selleck’s60-acre ranch inWestlake Village morethan a dozen times in the

past two years.The district said it

spent nearly $22, 000 fora private detective to

investigate.The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department

investigated the allegations but was unableto establish that a crime had taken place,Capt. John Reilly said on Wednesday.

According to the district, officials sentSelleck cease-and-desist letters to stop thewater deliveries, but as recently as March atruck was seen filling up at a hydrant anddelivering water to th e ranch.

California has b een hard hit by a four-yeardrought, and the community where Selleck

has h is l and is under mandatory cutbacks ashigh as 36 percent.

Proponents cleared to gathersignatures for cigarette tax

SACRAMENTO — Proponents of a $2

cigarette tax increase have been cleared tobegin gathering signatures to take the ques-tion to California voters in 2016.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla approvedtwo ballot initiatives Friday for signatures.

The per-pack tax would net an estimated$1.1 billion in its first year, with revenuesslig htly decreasing each year after. It wouldgo to pay for health care programs and serv-ices.

The effort is backed by the CaliforniaMedical Association, the American LungAssociation and the Service EmployeesInternational Union.

Voters hav e rejected two oth er propos alsto tax cigarettes in the last decade, and thelatest tax plan faces opposition from tobac-

co companies that scored legislative victo-ries this week.

California’s current tobacco per-pack taxis 15th l owest in the nation at 87 cents.

BERRYESSA SNOW MOUNTAIN NATIONALMONUMENT — As a stretch of gold and greencoastal range spanning more than 100 milesbecame California’s newest national monumenton Friday, geologist Bob Schneider couldn’tstop h imself from jigging for joy.

“I’m doing little Snoopy dances,” Schneidersaid just before the ceremony in Washingtonwhere President Barack Obama established theBerryessa Snow Mountain National Monument— 331,000 acres that cover inner-coast moun-tains, wetlands and waterways and are home tobears, ot ters, eagles and a host of other wildlife.

With the preservation from development thatthe designation as a monument brings, “I’mhappy that my grandchild will be able to comehere and visit this place” in decades to come,said Schneider, who has climbed the region’speaks for half a century.

Obama created the newCalifornia national monu-ment Friday along with onein Texas and another inNevada, altogether protect-ing more than 1 millionacres. With Friday’s sign-ing, Obama now has made19 national monuments,using his executive powersafter opposi tion from some

Republican lawmakers slowed congressionaldesignations of new conservation areas.

Schneider and other members of a NorthernCalifornia preservation group called Tuleyomesuccessfully campaigned for monument status— with broad support from federal lawmakersand local officials — in part by assuring huntersand others they would not push to limit recre-ational use of the area.

There’s boating, kayaking, hiking, bird-watching, U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, aDemocrat from Fairfield, said by telephone fromWashington. “Just about every kind of recre-ation.”

On Friday, gray fog hugged the range’s ridgesof summer-yellow grass and oak trees swathedin dried moss.

Climbing from reedy marshes to mountainpeaks more than 6,000 feet above, the monu-ment will give bears, badgers, otters, mountainlions, bald and golden eagles, and other wildliferoom to move as climate change alters habitat,supporters said.

The monument designation excludes the land-mark for which the area is best-known locally— Lake Berryessa, a reservoir created in the1950s by damming Putah Creek.Photographers Dorothea Lange and PirkleJones chronicled the damming in a book called“Death of a Valley.”

For some Californians who most associatethe area with the manmade lake, ringed by signsadvertising bingo, jet-ski rentals, and “mobilevillas,” the monument designation Friday waspuzzling.

“Yes, we’re in the country, we have animals,but to make us a monument?” asked MarciaRitz, behind a counter at a general store on the

edge of the reservoir. “What have we done todeserve that?”

Schneider, by phone, spoke of standing onthe ridge where the North American and Pacifictectonic plates meet, and of 12,000-year-oldIndian sites that the public could now more eas-ily learn about.

“When you designate something like this,you create a sense of place,” he said. “This isn’tabout Yosemite. It doesn’t have that grandeurlike Half Dome and El Capitan. But it does haveincredible places. And there are stories here.”

Enriquez said after learning more aboutthe severity of the drought, Gov. JerryBrown’s conservation mandates as well ashow people can cut back both indoors andoutdoors, s he decided she wanted to b ecomea tool for conservation awareness.Recognizing how her own family has adapt-

ed their behaviors to reduce water use,Enriquez said knowledge is a key t o chang e.

“Just talking to people and educatingthem on certain issues will get them inter-ested and think ing abo ut what they can do tomake a difference. I think once people areinterested in something and actually puttheir mind to it, they g et more encouraged todo something. So I think education is reallyimportant ,” Enriquez said.

Nearly 50 people signed up for her week-end walk, to which s he’s unable to publiclypromote due to city permitting restraints.Enriquez said she designed and had brightcolored Save Our Water T-shirts made thatparticipants will wear as they walk or runnear the Bayfront Saturday afternoon. Whilenot raising any funds through her events,having passersby see the bright colored

shirts will hopefully trigger awarenessabout the drought and the need to conserve,Enriquez said.

Enriquez said her own experience afterseeing the visual impacts the drought ishaving on things like reservoirs and waterbodies encouraged her to make lifestylechanges.

“When I would travel, I would be like ‘ohwow, that’s where the water used to be, nowit’s really low.’ And just going through the

process of learning about water conserva-tion, there’s a lot of th ings I was shocked tolearn about. Because there’s a lot of smallthin gs we can do to con serve a lot of water,”Enriquez said. At her home, “we changed outfront yard to drought tolerant plants, we areletting the grass in our backyard die andwe’re doing full l oads of laundry and all th atgoo d stuff.”

The soon-to-be high school student’srecent work has been encouraging to hermother Lourdes Enriquez, who’s well versedin conservation efforts as she too works for

BAWSCA.“It’s b een quite in teresting and it’s actual-

ly been quite fulfilli ng for me because sh e’sa very quiet person, an introvert,” LourdesEnriquez said. “So this year, when she toldme she really likes helping people andissues challenging people in the communi-ty here, I was happy to hear that. It was a bigstep for her to admit that to me and to put itin words.”

Olivia Enriquez said her passio n for help -ing ot hers started simply, just by li steningand consoling her friends who were strug-gling. Still young and learning what itmeans to b e an activist , Olivi a Enriquez saidshe’d like to consider a career in psycholo-gy. But in the short term, she plans to con-tinue to stay involved in the community,

current events and plan another campaignon another relevant topic next year.

“A lot of things that people are dealingwith, they can’t deal with on their own,”Olivia Enriquez said. “So I think it’s impor-tant to ask for help, or to offer help to th osethat need it.”

along the Pacific coast, after flyingMonday, June 15, with their bikes toVancouver, British Columbia and strikingout on their journey.

During their trip, the two raised roughly$2,00 0 in donations which will be grantedto t he Saint Francis o f Assis i Youth Club inEast Palo Alto, where Botros and Horvathhelp coordinate recreation programs.

Botros, a Redwood City native who willbe a senior at Carlmont High School nextyear, said with t he money th ey raised, he andHorvath plan to purchase bikes for the club,which will be used to start a riding programfor local children.

He said the youth club offered tremendousappreciation and emotional backing for theriders whil e they were headed south throughWashington, Oregon and NorthernCalifornia.

“We got huge support from them th rough-out,” he said.

The upliftment was appreciated by Botrosand Horvath, as they rode between 50 and 70miles a day and braved a variety of obsta-cles, such as illness, equipment malfunc-tion, extreme heat and inconsideratemotorists.

“It was a tremendous opportunity for per-sonal growth,” said Horvath, a Woodsideresident who is goi ng into his senior year at

Sacred Heart Preparatory in Atherton .The two would spend between eight and 10hours riding on an average day, but at timesless, such as periods of the trip when Botrosfell sick, which limited their progress.

Botros said the beginning of the ride wasplagued with challenges, as he suffered twopopped bike tires in the first three days,

which made him question whether theywould ever make it to their destination.

The longest day of riding during their tripwas a stretch along Highway 101 fromWillits to Santa Rosa, which is roughly 80miles, i n temperatures as hot as 109 degreesFahrenheit, according to Botros.

Just as the trip was nearing its end, and thebikers were approaching San Francisco, acareless driver backing their car out of adriveway struck Horvath, which damaged hisbike but left him relatively unscathed.

“It was kind of scary at times,” Botrossaid.

The myriad challenges the riders enduredproved difficult, but ultimately served tobuild character, said Horvath.

“I found that I could do i t,” he said. “It was

very challenging at times.”Learning to appreciate the kindness of strangers, who aided the riders periodicallyby helping them fix their bikes or offerlocal expertise, was one of the elementsHorvath said he enjoyed the most.

“People are just really h elpful,” he said.Botros, who had taken a previous long

distance bike trip by hi mself to Los Angeleslast year, said one of the great unanticipatedchallenges of this ride was coordinating adaily game plan, since the two did littleadvance planning charting their course.

“This trip taught me a lot of things, likebeing able to live with someone for twoweeks,” he said. “That was interesting. Wehad to compromise a lot, like where to stop,fill up water bottles, or eat and sleep.”

He said more than anything, the trip

taught him to appreciate the joys of modernamenities he had previously taken for grant-ed.

“Basically it made every complaint I haveat home seem really trivial, because riding abike for two weeks was harder than Ithought,” said Botros. “It really made mecherish th e ability to drive.”

WASHINGTON — The embattled head of the government’s personnel office abruptlystepped down Friday, bowing to mountingpressure following the unprecedentedbreach of private information her agency

was entrusted to p rotect.Katherine Archuleta had served as director

of the federal Office of PersonnelManagement since November 2013. Theformer national political director forPresident Barack Obama’s 2012 re-electioncampaign, Archuleta came under scathingcriticism amid revelations this year thathackers — widely believed to be China’sgovernment — had infiltrated her agency’sdatabases as well as background-checkrecords for millions who applied for U.S.security clearances.

On Thursday, Archuleta had rebuffeddemands that she resign, declaring she was“committed to the work that I am doing.”But her contin ued tenure at the agency grewuntenable as calls from lawmakers —including members of Obama’s own party

— mushroomed. OnFriday morning, shecame to the White Houseto personally submit herresignation to Obama.

He named Beth Cobert,currently deputy directorfor management at the

White House’s Office of Management and Budget,to step in as acting direc-tor at OPM.

“It’s quite clear that new leadership , with aset of sk ills and experiences that are uniqueto th e urgent challeng es that OPM faces, arebadly needed,” s aid White House sp okesmanJosh Earnest.

Archuleta’s resignation came one dayafter the administration disclosed that thenumber of people affected by the federal databreach was far greater than previouslyknown. In addition to 4.2 million peoplewhose records were stol en in an in itial h ackfirst revealed earlier this year, more than21.5 million had their Social Security num-bers and other sensitive information stolenin a second hack, believed to be the biggest

in U.S. histo ry.

Archuleta offered her resignation “of herown volition” and wasn’t forced out,Earnest said. At the same ti me, he concededthat Americans affected by the breach arestill “due additional information” from theagency about what happened and how toprotect themselves.

Republican lawmakers who had fueled the

growing calls for her resignation, includingHouse Speaker John Boehner, said it wastoo little, too late. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska respo nded to t he news with a two-word statement: “Not eno ugh.”

“It’s a Band-Aid, but it’s no t goi ng to stopthe bleeding,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, chairman of the House Oversight andGovernment Reform Committee. He said inan interview that OPM still lacks a func-tion al system to prot ect private data held bywhat is effectively the largest humanresources department in the world.

“It’s ti me to b ring in t he nerds,” he added.But J. David Cox Sr., president of the

American Federation of GovernmentEmployees, put part of the blame onCongress for failing to adequately fundOPM. “Firing one individual solves noth-

ing,” he said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Doug Hamilto n is justfine with plans to put a woman’s portrait onU.S. paper money, but he’d prefer that theTreasury Department leave the $10 bill alone— particularly the prominent visage of hisgreat-great-great-great-great grandfather,Alexander Hamilton.

The 10-spot is a source of family pride inHamilton’s house in suburban Columbus, a dig-nified symbol of the historical importance of his ancestor, whose picture has been on it since1929. So naturally, Hamilton started making

some noise when he heard about the proposalthat has Alexander Hamilton sharing the notewith a deserving woman yet to be chosen.

The 64-year-old salesman for IBM has joineda growing number of voices in a backlashagainst what he calls the “diminishing” of Hamilton, the first secretary of the Treasurywho founded the nation’s banking system.

“He’s the father of paper money,” says DougHamilton, who has a son and grandson carry-ing the name of their famous ancestor. (Hisdaughter, Elizabeth, was named for AlexanderHamilton’s wife.)

He’s urging people to sign a petition on theWhite House “We The People” website, and thisweekend he’ll be preaching the Hamiltonian

gospel at a series of annual events in New Yorkand New Jersey planned around the anniversaryof Alexander Hamilton’s death on July 12,1804, a day after his duel with Aaron Burr.

The trip also will include a preview of thehip-hop musical “Hamilton,” based on RonChernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton,opening on Broadway.

Outcry over Hamilton’s possible demotionhas been somewhat lost in the wave of excite-ment over the inclusion of a woman’s portraiton paper currency. The Treasury Departmentsays the $10 bill was chosen because it’s upnext for a redesign to improve anti-counterfeit-

ing features. The new bill would go into circula-tion in 2020.Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said this week

that he’s sticking with the plan, despite criticsarguing that a woman should be featured on the$20 bill in place of Andrew Jackson, whommany histo rians view less favorably because of his t reatment of Native Americans and his own-ership of slaves.

“Right now is the time to call that out,” saysBarbara Howard, founder of the group Womenon 20s, which advocates replacing Jacksonwith a deserving woman from history. DougHamilton has joined forces with Howard’sgroup and others trying to change Lew’s mind.

Meanwhile, former Federal Reserve chairman

Ben Bernanke wrote in a blog that he was“appalled” at the idea of adding a woman to the$10 bill at Hamilton’s expense. The New YorkTimes wrote in a Fourth of July editorial thatit’s a much better idea to bump Jackson, anundistinguished president who, ironically,hated the idea of paper currency.

“The announcement has really befuddled peo-ple,” says Rand Scholet, president of a groupcalled The Alexander Hamilton AwarenessSociety, which planned some of the events thi sweekend expected to draw hundreds.

According to the Treasury Department, put-ting Hamilton’s portrait on the $10 bill was

included in the changes made by the govern-ment “to restore faith in economic power of theUnited States and currency” after the economiccrash of 1929 and into the Great Depression.

Doug Hamilton has known since he was a kidthat he was related to the founding father. Hisgrandmother first told him, and he confirmed itlater through genealogical studies. But all thataside, he says his ancestor’s towering achieve-ments have earned him a permanent place onthe bill, and the picture should remainuntouched.

“We think,” Doug Hamilton says, “he issomebody the younger generation should lookup to.”

FBI: Church gunman shouldn’thave been able to get gun

WASHINGTON — The gunman charged inthe Charleston, South Carolina, churchmassacre should not have been allowed topurchase the weapon used in the att ack, FBIDirector J ames Comey said Friday as he out-lined a series of “heartbreaking” missedopportunities and background check flaws

that allowed the transaction to take place.“We are all sick that this has happened,”Comey told reporters at an unusual, hastilyscheduled meeting at FBI headquarters. “Wewish we could turn back time, because fromthis vantage point, everything seems obvi-ous. But we cannot.”

He said he had ordered a review into whathappened and that FBI officials would meetFriday with victims’ relatives to explain t heerrors.

The cascading set of prob lems began withthe drug-related arrest of Dylann Roof inSouth Carolina weeks before the shooting,touching off miscommunication betweenlocal and federal officials and revealingpotential shortcomings in the govern-ment’s background check process.

At issue was a police report from Roof’s

arrest in which authorities say he admittedto possessing illegal drugs. Under federalrules, that admissio n alon e would have beenenough to disqualify him from an April g unpurchase even though he wasn’t convictedof the charge.

Big House vote to speed drugapprovals, boost research

WASHINGTON — For the second time thisyear, the House used overwhelming bipartisanunity Friday to approve health legislation,this time voting to bolster biomedicalresearch and streamline how the governmentapproves drugs and medical devices.

The chamber’s 344-77 vote sent the meas-ure to the Senate, where a bill is unlikely untillater this year. It is unclear how different the

Senate version will be.“Hopefully it will in fact trigger a similarreaction in the Senate, where families knowthat there really is hop e,” Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chief author of the bill with Rep. DianaDeGette, D-Colo., said of the lopsided Housevote. Upton chairs the House Energy andCommerce Committee.

Supporters said that with medicine rapidlycreating new treatments, it was time to mod-ernize how the federal Food and DrugAdministration assesses the safety of newproducts and allows their use by pati ents. Thebill was backed by the pharmaceutical,biotechnology and medical device industriesand research universities.

A second day of gains for Chinesestocks also encouraged investors. U.S.stocks had fallen sharply onWednesday, in part on concern that amonthlong slump in China’s stockmarket could crimp growth in theworld’s second-largest econo my.

“This is a giant collective exhaling,”said Kristina Hooper, U.S. investmentstrategist at Allianz Global Investors.The Greek deal “is not done, but we’recloser than we have been in a while.”

The Standard & Poor’s 500 indexrose 25.31 points, or 1.2 percent, to2,076.62. The Dow Jones industrialaverage climbed 211.79 poin ts, o r 1.2

percent, to 17,760.41. The Nasdaqcomposite gained 75.30 p oints, o r 1.5percent, to 4,997.70.

The gains pushed the S&P 500 backinto positive territory for the year.

On Friday, stocks in China jumpedbefore the U.S. market open ed. Chi na’s

Shanghai Composite Index jumped 4.5percent, paring its losses for themonth to 24 percent.

The Chinese market is only recover-ing after the government intervenedheavily and about half of the compa-nies listed in mainland China suspend-ed trading in their stocks.

That’s making some investors cau-tious.

“The policy makers appear to havesome success in stabilizing values, butfifty percent of Chinese stocks are notcurrently t rading, ” said Jim McDonald,chief investment strategist at NorthernTrust.

Back in the U.S., airline stocks ral-lied after American Airlines, thenation’s largest carrier, signaled that it

was cutting back on its growth plansthis year amid signs that average faresare declining . American said it expectsto increase passenger-carrying capaci-

ty by 1 percent this year, down from anearlier forecast of 2 percent. AmericanAirlines rose $1.54, or 3.9 p ercent, to$41.21. Delta Air Lines jumped $1.91,or 4.7 percent, to $42.46.

Investors also followed a speech byFederal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on

Friday.Speaking in Cleveland, Ohio, Yellensaid that the Fed is on track to startraising i nterest rates later this year, butexpressed concerns over headwindsthat are still holding back the U.S.economy, in particular lingering weak-ness in the labor market and newpotential threats overseas.

David Kelly, chief global strategistat JPMorgan Asset Management, saidafter the speech that he expected theFed to lift interest rates in September,provided that Greece reaches a deal withits creditors and there were no majorfinancial crises bet ween now and then.

Stocks rise on Greece hopes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Federal ReserveChair Janet Yellen said the Fed is ontrack to start raising interest rateslater this year but expressed multipleconcerns over headwinds that are stillholding back the U.S. economy.

She described the outlook for theeconomy and inflation as “highlyuncertain,” amid lingering weaknessin the labor market and new potentialthreats overseas.

Yellen, speaking on the economyfor the first time since the Fed’s Junemeeting, saw reasons for encourage-ment. Consumer spending appears tobe picking up, and employment islikely to keep expanding, she said.

“Based on my outlook, I expectthat it will be appropriate at somepoint later this year to take the firststep to raise the federal funds rate,”

Yellen said,referring to theFed’s key short-term interestrate, which hasbeen at a recordlow near zero

since December2008.

But she alsooutlined a host

of concerns, from weak wage growthto a low labor participation rate to“disappointing” productivity. Shereiterated that inflation is still wellbelow the Fed’s 2 percent target.Yellen also noted that cautious busi-ness owners “have not substantiallyincreased their capital expenditures.”

Yellen, whose comments came in aspeech in Cleveland, said even whenthe Fed does start raising rates, theincreases will be gradual.

New potential risks have emergedsince the Fed’s June 16-17 meeting,including the on-going Greek debtcrisis and a sharp plunge in China’sstock market over the past month.

Yellen noted in her speech that the“situation in Greece remains unre-solved.” But she also said that theeconomic recovery in the 18-nationEurozone “appears to have gained afirmer footing.” She did not mentiondevelopments in China at all, nor wasshe asked about Greece or China dur-ing a question-and-answer period fol-lowing the speech.

The recent developments haveprompted many economists to pushback their projections for the Fed’sfirst rate hike from September toDecember. The Fed’s next meetingtakes place on July 28-29, but there isno expectation the Fed will make amove then.

Yellen: Fed still on track toraise interest rates this year

Since the start of his col legiate career thisseason at Loyola Marymount University,Watkins has been going fulltime on thebaseball diamond for the first time in hislife. Actually, make that double-time.

As a true freshman, Watkin s was the o nlytwo-way player on the LMU roster. And hehad an impact both sides of the ball.

LONDON — If Roger Federer was going toallow Andy Murray to gain a foothold in theWimbledon semifinals, this seemed as if itmight be t he moment.

Murray delivered a 129 mph ace to pull outan epic seven-deuce, 15-minute game, savingfive set points along the way, to get to 5-allin the second set. As he strutted near theCentre Court stands, shaking his fist androaring, spectators loudly saluted the effortwith a standing ov ation.

“I,” Federer would say later, “was scream-ing inside.”

Was Murray suddenly making a match of it?

Swinging the momentumhis way? Not againstFederer. Not on this day.Displaying the impecca-ble serving he producedall match — indeed, allfortnight — Federer heldat love right away, thenbroke Murray in the nextgame. And that, essential-ly, was that.

Federer’s 7-5, 7-5, 6-4 victory Friday, builtby taking 70 of 91 points he served andbreaking Murray in the last game of each set,moved him into his 10th Wimbledon final.One more win would make Federer the firstman with eight titles at The Championshi ps,

as the grass-court tournament first held in1877 is kn own around these parts.

“Doesn’t matter whether it’s No. 8 or No.1,” Federer said, “Wimbledon finals is alwaysa big occasion.”

On Sunday, the No. 2-seeded Federer facesNo. 1 Novak Djokovic in a rematch of lastyear’s final. Djokovic won that one in fivesets to keep Federer stuck on seven trophiesat the All England Club, tied with PeteSampras and 1880s player Willie Renshaw,and a record 17 Grand Slam trophies ov erall.

Djokovic, who also won Wimbledon in2011 and owns eight major titles, advancedby beating No. 21 Richard Gasquet 7-6 (2),6-4, 6-4.

Nine of Gasquet’s first 10 winners came via

his smooth, one-handed backhand, but thatstroke eventually let him down. At 2-all inthe tiebreaker, Gasquet’s backhand sailedlong, and he wouldn’t take another point inthe set. When he was broken right away tobegin the second, any suspense about whowould win dissipated.

About the only intrigue concernedDjokovic’s left shoulder, which was mas-saged by a trainer during second-setchangeovers.

“It’ll be fine for the next match,”Djokovic said.

After reaching his fourth Wimbledonfinal in five years, Djokovic called Federer

OAKLAND — Ken Stabler’s death came as a shock to JohnMadden. The Hall of Fame coach, l ike almost everybody else,had no idea the former Oakland Raiders quarterback had Stage 4colon cancer.

“If you know Kenny Stabler, th at’s Kenny Stabler,” Maddensaid Friday, a day after Stabler’s family announced his death.

Madden, the coach of those great Raiders teams in the1970s, recalled fond memories of Stabler but was still reeling

from the news when he spoke to reporterson a con ference call.

Madden said Stabler’s death came as a“shock to all of us” because Stabler kepthis cancer diagnosis a secret. He said thatStabler was the ultimate tough guy andnever wanted people to watch him at a timeof weakness.

“He didn’t want any of his teammates toever see him in the training room gettingtreatment, and I think that probably fol-lowed him through life,” Madden said.

Stabler’s family said he died as a result of complications from colon cancer, which hewas diagnosed with in February. He was 69.

“You just think that Kenny’s one of those guys that whatever you throw infront of them it’s not going to get themdown. And then when you hear KennyStabler died, it’s like a kick in the gut,”Madden said.

The 79-year-old Madden said that Stablershould be in the Hall of Fame. He believes people get toocaught up in comparing statis tics from different eras and shouldunderstand Stabler was among t he best of h is generation alongwith Pit tsb urgh’s Terry Bradshaw and Miami’s Bob Griese, whoare both enshrined in Canton.

Stabler was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1974 and afour-time Pro Bowl selection who l ed the Raiders to consist entsuccess throughout the decade, including a 32-14 victory overthe Minnesota Vikings in the 1977 Super Bowl.

The Snake’s sly demeanor and flair for the dramatic delivered

famous games that earned nicknames such as “Holy Roller,”“Sea of Hands” and “Ghost to the Pos t.” Not to mention lead-ing the Oakland Raiders to a touchdown that set up thePittsburgh Steelers for the “Immaculate Reception. ”

“He was inv olved in more games that have names than prob -ably any one,” Madden said.

One of Madden’s most cherished memories came in a double-overtime playoff game at Baltimore in 19 77 that he said show-cased the best in Stabler, who was known for his calmnessunder pressure and ability to come through in t he clutch.

During a timeout on the winning TD drive, Madden said hewas anxiously trying to draw up a play when Stabler cut him off.

“I’m there and I’m thinking and I’m talking to Kenny dur-ing the timeout and he has his helmet cocked back and he’s

NEW YORK — Fresh off its World Cupchampionship, the U.S. women’s soccerteam got a hero’s welcome on Friday with aticker-tape parade in lower Manhattanmobbed by young girls and other flag-wav-

ing fans, followed by a City Hall ceremonywhere each player was given a key to thecity.

“All of this for us started when we were lit-tle and we had a dream,” star forward AbbyWambach told a crowd of 3,500 at City HallPlaza. “In my opinion, all the women up onthis stage believed in that dream, keptbelieving in that dream. “

Head coach Ji ll Ellis called the celebration“mind-blowing.” And midfielder CarliLloyd, n amed the World Cup’s most valuableplayer after scoring th ree goals in the final,told the crowd, “Well I’m a Jersey girl .. . butNew York City, you guys are awesome.”

Parade-goers — many wearing red, whiteand blue — started gathering at 3:30 a.m.along the Canyon of Heroes, a stretch of Broadway where the n ation’s largest city h as

honored its legends. When the parade gotunderway at 11 a.m., the crowd was as muchas 10 deep along t he route. Chants o f “USA!USA!” were distinctly high-pitched.

It was the first-ever ticker-tape parade inNew York for a women’s sport s t eam — a factnot lo st on th e crowd. A 4th floo r windowon a building near the route was decoratedwith a homemade sign that reads “GirlPower” with four American flags.

“I’m glad to see girls getting a parade,”said 9-year-old Christinah Delesine, whowore a blue soccer shirt. “There should bemore.”

Robert Sanfiz, who brought hi s three chil-

dren — Julia, 8, Chris, 7 and Tommy, 2 —had a similar take.

“It’s great for her to see women finally berepresented,” Sanfiz said. “It’s great for herself-esteem.”

Ireland Giaquinto, 13, held a sign reading,“Thank you for lett ing me dream.”

All 23 players from the team — none of whom are from New York City, though fourhail from nearby New Jersey — were riding

on four of 12 floats. One of the floats wascarrying the World Cup trop hy, alo ng Lloydand Mayor Bill de Blasio . Gov. AndrewCuomo was on a separate float.

The players could be seen taking selfiesand shooting photos of the crowd. As theparade started, go alkeeper Hope Solo tweet-ed: “We couldn’t be more excited be here!”

with a ph oto of herself and five teammates.The southern end of Broadway is the tradi-

tional spot for New York City for the p aradeswhere workers in tall officer buildings oncetossed ticker tape — strips of paper withstock price information — onto celebrantsbelow. The tape has been replaced by shred-ded paper.

The New York Yankees have gottenparades when they’ve won the World Series,and the New York Giants have been celebrat-ed when th ey’ve won the Super Bowl, mostrecently in 201 2. Among the famous peoplehonored: Theodore Roosevelt, John F.Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Gen. DouglasMacArthur and Albert Einstein.

Even though th e women’s soccer team is anational team instead of local, the push tohonor the players with a parade had been

fervent. Manhatt an Borough President GaleBrewer had written to de Blasio, saying itwas a good opportunity to showcase femaleathletes.

“When they brought back that trophy,they also brought back the message of thepower of women,” de Blasio said at CityHall.

The United States has returned to the topof the FIFA women’s rankings after win-ning the World Cup. The U.S. toppledGermany before beating Japan 5-2 inSunday’s final i n Vancouver to col lect th etop prize in women’s soccer for the firsttime in 16 years.

“the greatest player of all time on grass courts, and maybegreatest p layer of all time.”

Sure looked that way against No. 3 Murray, who lost toFederer in the 2012 Wimbledon final — the last time Federerwon a major — but beat him a few weeks later for g old at theLondon Olympics.

Entering Friday, Federer had been broken only once duringWimbledon. So it was noteworthy that Murray won the cointoss, elected to receive and then, a minute into the match,smacked a backhand winner for break point.

Federer responded with a service winner, an ace and anotherservice winner. Murray never got another break chance; hegot to deuce on Federer’s serve only once more.

“The guy served unbeli evable,” Murray said. “That was the

difference.”Federer’s 20 aces were part of his 56-winner performance,compared with 11 unforced errors.

“Definitely one of the best matches I’ve played in mycareer,” Federer said, adding moments later: “One of my bestserving days o f my career, for sure.”

Now that’s saying something.The highlight was the second set’s 10th game, when Murray

trailed love-40, dealt with two more break points, and eventu-ally held. There were 20 points in all, lasting so long thatboth men chang ed rackets during the game, with Federer elic-iting boos when he sneaked a sip from a water bottle.

Federer and Murray each used the word “unbelievable” todescribe their terrific exchanges.

“It felt like every poin t was getting fin ished with a winner,”Murray said.
