Dennis EvanoskyArtemis Racing completed its
13th day aboard the team’s second AC72 on Sunday. It also turned out to be the Swedes’ final day of participation in the Louis Vuitton Cup series. Artemis led the fourth race against the Italian team Luna Rossa off the line, but lost the lead on the first downwind leg when the umpires issued the team a penalty for making prestart contact.
The judges imposed two more penalties on the Swedes, both for crossing outside the course bound-ary.
Despite topping the Italians’ top speed by one mile per hour (47 vs. 48), Artemis Racing crossed the finish line two minutes and 11 seconds behind the Italian team. The win completed a four-race
sweep by the Italians, who will now advance to the finals. Artemis Racing’s four straight losses will send the team packing.
Artemis Racing overcame the loss of crewmember Andrew “Bart” Simpson in a May 9 in an acci-dent on San Francisco Bay. The accident also irreparably damaged the team’s AC72 yacht. The team launched its second yacht on July 22 and went for the first sail on July 24. Two weeks later it entered the start box against Luna Rossa Challenge.
“I’m hugely proud of our team. It’s been a terrible period,” said Artemis Racing skipper Iain Percy. “First and foremost at this moment, my thoughts go to my teammates and to ‘Bart’ and his family. He would’ve been so proud of us.”
Both Luna Rossa and Artemis have called Alameda Point home-port.
The Italians will race against Emirates Team New Zealand in the best-of-13 finals. Competition begins at 1:10 p.m., Saturday. The winner will face defending cham-pion Oracle Team USA in the 34th America’s Cup beginning Saturday, Sept. 7.

Alameda Merchants Earn Title
Sun Staff ReportsThe Alameda Merchants, a col-
lege-level summer baseball team, defeated the Auburn Wildcats 7-5 to earn its first-ever Golden State Collegiate Baseball League (GSCBL) championship Sunday, Aug. 4, at St. Mary’s College in Moraga.
Going into the day, the Merchants were 2-0 in the round-robin playoff, while the Wildcats were 2-1. The Wildcats had to win a doubleheader in order to take the title, while the Merchants had to win just once. The Merchants lost the first game 8-4. The team, which calls College of Alameda its home field, outhit the Wildcats 12 to 9 in the first contest. The Merchants trailed 4-3 after five innings, but the Wildcats were able to pull away with two runs in the sixth inning.
The Wildcats took a 2-0 lead in the second, and deciding, game after three innings. Auburn manu-factured the two runs with a balk, a single and an error to go along with an RBI triple. With the momentum appearing to be in the Wildcats’ favor, the Merchants put its offen-sive firepower on display scoring all seven of its runs in the fourth, fifth and six innings.
The comeback was led by first baseman Blaine Carlie (Doane College) who had a two-run single in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the sixth inning. Right-fielder Jake Westhorpe (Holy Names University) went 2 for 3 on the day with an RBI and a run scored. The Merchants pulled out all the stops in the championship contest, even bunting on three consecutive plate appearances including a drag-bunt single by second baseman JR Davis (Contra Costa Community College).
Joel Deporte (McMurry University) pitched four scoreless innings in relief after he entered in the fifth. Deporte surrendered two hits and struck out four bat-ters. Alameda’s “Fireman” Ricky

As of Aug. 1, Leann’s Nails on Webster Street in Alameda, became
the first business in Alameda County to be recognized in the Healthy Nail Salon Recognition Program, a program adminis-tered by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health. In order to qualify for the program, salons must be in compliance with the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology’s professional code, must choose safer nail products, and must implement safer practices.
The program provides training for nail salon staff in
safer practices, in choosing products without toxins and without chemicals, and in improving ventilation in nail shops, i.e., to create a safer environment for customers, and to protect the health of nail salon technicians. After training, the salon is visited to assure that it meets the stan-dards before receiving recog-nition and certification.
In order to qualify for the recognition, Leann’s Nails had to meet the Eligibility Criteria:
Choose nail polishes that do not contain the toxic trio (dibutyl phthalate (DBP), tolu-ene, and formaldehyde).
Use safer nail polish removers, including but not limited to acetone.
Avoid using nail polish thinners unless absolutely nec-essary. When using thinners, do not use those containing toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Ensure that all nail salon staff wear nitrile gloves when using nail products.
Ventilate the salon to improve air quality in the salon. Designate a specific area for artificial nail services and properly ventilate the area.
Install mechanical venti-lation unit(s) within one year
of entering recognition pro-gram, if one does not already exist.
Train all nail salon staff onsite (on payroll and on contract) and owners on safer practices using SFE’s guide, if one does not already exist.
Allow Alameda County
program staff to monitor air quality within the salon.
Be committed to trying and adopting safer artificial nail products.
Do not allow customers to bring in products unless they meet program criteria.
Leann’s Nails proudly dis-
plays their certificate in the window of their salon.
A fixture at 1612 Webster Street for more than 20 years, Leann’s Nails is open Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Make an appointment at 864-4117.
