Big building clears key hurdle


Redwood City Planning Commission approves nine-story office project
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A proposed office development


at 601 Marshall St. in Redwood
City was approved by the
Planning Commission on a 5-1
vote with the lone dissenter, Janet
Borgens, saying the building is
simply too tall and will overshadow the citys historic courthouse.
The commission approved the
nine-story, 112-foot-tall building
at its Tuesday night meeting to a

packed house at City Hall.


The public was generally split
on the project with those in favor
saying more offices are needed
downtown as those opposed said
the project does not have adequate
parking, according to a video of
the meeting.
Others said the city is growing
too fast and that development
should be slowed.
Cheryl Gorman, a 48-year resident of the city, said she initially
approved of the citys Downtown

Precise Plan, a blueprint for future


growth, but that it was meant to
guide development over a 20-year
period.
The acceleration of building
has been astronomical. Its been
too quick. I think we should slow
down our building, she said about
the many projects currently under
construction downtown with more
in the pipeline.

Leland Yee pleads guilty to racketeering


Ex-state senator could face a maximum of 20 years in prison
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO An exCalifornia state senator pleaded


guilty Wednesday to a racketeering
charge in an organized crime and
public corruption case centered in
San Franciscos Chinatown.
Leland Yee could face a maximum
of 20 years in prison when he is
sentenced in October after entering the plea to one count of conspiracy to engage in racketeering
as part of his campaign committees.
He appeared relaxed as he entered

federal court in a dark suit and red


tie, smiling and chatting with
people in the audience. He left the
courthouse without talking to
reporters.
The FBI arrested Yee and 19 others in 2014 during a series of raids,
one of which targeted a Chinese
fraternal organization. Yee was
accused of soliciting and accepting bribes in exchange for providing help from Sacramento.
The FBI also alleged that the San
Francisco Democrat, who was running for secretary of state at the
time, conspired to connect an
undercover agent with an interna-

Dolphin leaps onto boat,
injuring California woman

I dont know what was in the water,


but something must have scared it
out, Haldeman said.

SANTA ANA A dolphin leaped


onto a boat in Southern California,
crashing into a woman and breaking
both her ankles.
Chrissie Frickman was boating with
her husband and two children June 21
when a pod of dolphins swam alongside them. One of the animals jumped
on the vessel, knocking Frickman
over and landing on her legs, the
Orange County Register reported.
Her husband, Dirk, pulled her out
and called authorities as he headed
toward an Orange County harbor.
While he steered, he splashed water on
the 350-pound dolphin to keep it alive
as it thrashed around and bled from
some cuts.
I could hear my phone buzzing and
beeping on the floor it was covered
in blood, he said.
Dirk Frickman got help pulling the
dolphin onto a dock with a rope and
then releasing it.
The dolphin was hopefully saved,
Frickman said. It swam away with no
problem.
His wife is still recovering from her
injuries.
Harbor Patrol Sgt. DJ Haldeman
confirmed the incident. He said sea
lions have been known to jump aboard
boats before, but that this is the first
hes heard of a dolphin doing the
same.

young boy would brace himself when
he heard footsteps outside his bedroom door. He knew that once the
grown-ups entered, the abuse would
begin.
For years, he was whipped with
belts, his face was burned with electrical wires and his fingers were broken
with pliers all to teach him a lesson. The abusers, who have since
pleaded guilty, were his legal guardian
a supervisor with the Department of
Social Services in Union County,
North Carolina and her longtime
boyfriend, an emergency room nurse.
The abuse ended in November 2013
after police discovered the boy in
handcuffs, chained to the front porch
of the house with a dead chicken hung
around his neck.
When police entered the roachinfested house covered with urine and

over the years. They were removed and

County names new Health System chief


Board of Supervisors must approve at next meeting
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The San Mateo County Health Systems


second in command, Louise Rogers, was
nominated by County Manager John
Maltbie Wednesday to replace outgoing
Chief Jean Fraser.
The Board of Supervisors will vote on
whether to tap Maltbies pick to replace
Fraser at its July 7 meeting, the day before
Fraser officially retires.
The county did not disclose what Rogers
salary would be but Fraser earns approximately $300,000 a year.
The Health System, the countys largest
department, has 2,200 employees and a
$716 million annual budget. It oversees the
San Mateo Medical Center and clinics
throughout the county.
Since 2011, Rogers has served as deputy
chief of the Health System and was previously director of the Health Systems

Behavioral Health and


Recovery
Services
Division which serves
more than 17,000 clients
and has an annual budget
of $133 million.
Louise has long been
an outstanding asset to
our countys Health
System and I couldnt be
Louise Rogers more excited to see her
continuing its excellent delivery of equitable and compassionate care to clients,
invaluable leadership to staff and unwavering commitment to keeping the entire community healthy, Maltbie wrote in a statement.
The outgoing Fraser first worked with
Rogers in the mid-1990s.
Louise and I first worked together 20
years ago in San Francisco and I was immediately impressed by her smarts, savvy and
commitment. My admiration for her has

continued to grow and over the past four


years as deputy chief, Louise has helped
guide this very large and diverse organization. I am leaving with great confidence
that the Health System and the people we
serve will be in excellent hands, Fraser
wrote in a statement.
Prior to joining the Health System in
2003, Rogers held a variety of positions in
public and nonprofit health organizations
in San Francisco and New York City. She
earned a bachelors degree from Yale
University and a masters degree in public
administration
from
Golden
Gate
University.
There is no other place with greater
opportunities to help people through public
service live longer and better lives than San
Mateo County. It would be my honor to
serve the county, the organization and our
community in this new capacity, Rogers
wrote in a statement.

Music teacher pleads no contest to molesting students

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A 29-year-old music teacher pleaded no


contest Tuesday to three counts of molesting his students during piano and guitar lessons in Daly City last year, prosecutors said
Wednesday.
Danville resident Brian Butts faces up to
six years in prison when hes sentenced on
Aug. 14, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Office.
Butts was a guest piano and guitar teacher

prosecutors said.
When the owner returned, two victims,

FBI looks into fiber-optic


vandalism in Northern California
SAN FRANCISCO The FBI is working
with police to catch vandals behind nearly a
dozen fiber-optic cable cuts in Northern
California in the past year.
The latest snips occurred Tuesday, when
someone sliced at least three fiber-optic
cables in an underground vault in Alameda
County east of San Francisco. The cuts

around Sacramento for 20 hours before

13-year-old girls, told him that Butts had


grabbed their breasts during music lessons
between April 7 and June 8 of last year.
Investigators found a third victim, a 15year-old girl, who reported similar incidents
during piano lessons.
Butts was initially charged with 10
felonies and faced a maximum sentence of
life in prison, but pleaded no contest to
three counts Tuesday in exchange for a sentence of no more than six years in prison,
prosecutors said.
His attorney Peter Goldscheider said the
last-minute plea deal came as a surprise as
prosecutors had not previously made any
offers. But facing a possible sentence of 30
years to life in prison, the six-year maximum sentence was the best thing for his
client.

Around the Bay


service was restored.
FBI spokesman Greg Wuthrich says the
FBI has known about the separate vandalism incidents and became involved last
month because cable cuts in one location
can affect businesses and customers in other
cities and counties, requiring coordination.
The FBI says fiber cables in Fremont,
Berkeley and San Jose have been intentionally severed in 11 instances since July
2014.

It was all around a very difficult decision


for him to make, Goldscheider said.
Had the case gone to trial, Goldscheider
said he would have argued the touching was
incidental and did not have sexual intent.
As Butts has no criminal record, he may
only receive a probationary sentence, but
that will be up to the judge, Goldscheider
said.
Butts remains in jail on $1.5 million bail.

Federal judge: Alabama counties must allow gay marriage


By Jay Reeves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. With a handful of


Alabama counties still refusing to grant gay
marriages even as they issued licenses for
straight weddings, a federal judge ruled
Wednesday that all must abide by court decisions allowing same-sex unions.
Opposition withered as some counties
complied with the decision, and gay marriage advocates said they would ask courts to
impose penalties on the holdouts that
refuse.
U.S. District Judge Callie Granade of
Mobile issued a brief order saying state probate judges cant discriminate against gay
couples since the U.S. Supreme Court has
ruled gay marriage is legal everywhere.
Also Wednesday, the 5th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in New Orleans instructed
judges in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas
to wrap up gay marriage cases in their states
in line with last weeks ruling.

Since February, we just made the decision


early on that we werent going to issue any marriage
licenses, and weve stuck by it and thats what we intend to do.
Pike County Probate Judge Wes Allen

Granades order doesnt affect counties


that have stopped issuing all marriage
licenses in response to the Supreme Court
decision, but a gay rights attorney said other
counties must treat people equally or face
penalties.
We will ask Judge Granade to hold them
in contempt if theyd dont, said Shannon
Minter of the San Francisco-based National
Center for Lesbian Rights in Washington.
Possible penalties include monetary
fines, cost assessments and even jail time,
but Minter said no decision has been made
about which penalties to seek.
Well cross that bridge when we come to
it, Minter said.
Minter said his group knew of seven of

Alabamas 67 counties that were issuing


licenses to straight couples but not gay couples early in the day, but the number dropped
by at least four when Elmore, Franklin,
Tallapoosa and Tuscaloosa counties said
they would issue licenses to anyone.
The Alabama Supreme Court has muddied
the issue by granting time for gay marriage
opponents to voice their opinion about the
effects of same-sex weddings.
Granades order came at the request of
groups representing gay couples across
Alabama. The judge, who previously overturned the states ban on same-sex marriage,
put earlier decisions on hold to allow time
for the justices to rule.
Since Alabama law says counties may

issue marriage licenses, some probate judges


have stopped handling marriage licenses
altogether rather than let gay couples wed.
At least 13 Alabama counties as of
Wednesday had shut down marriage license
operations altogether. Some judges said
they were trying to sort out what to do next
in the wake of the state court order. A few
said they, and their constituents, were philosophically opposed to same-sex marriage.
Marriage to me is one man, one woman,
said Pike County Probate Judge Wes Allen,
who said he was adhering to the law by treating couples equally. Allen shut down marriage operations in February, shortly after
Granade ruled the Alabamas same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional. Allen said
the feedback hes received from constituents
has been overwhelmingly positive.
Lots of great feedback. Since February,
we just made the decision early on that we
werent going to issue any marriage licenses, and weve stuck by it and thats what we
intend to do.

Cities show biggest water

By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias
drought-stricken cities set a record for
water conservation, reducing usage 29
percent in May, according to data
released by a state agency Wednesday.
Regulators hope the savings will
last through summer as California
communities are under order to cut
water use by 25 percent compared to
2013 levels. Gov. Jerry Brown
announced his mandatory conservation order in April.
Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the
State Water Resources Control Board
enforcing Browns order, said the
results show its possible to meet
steep conservation targets.
Its gratifying that far more communities are stepping up, and we want
to see this much more through the
summer, Marcus said. It ends up putting off the need for much harsher
rationing, which has greater impacts
on people and the economy.
California is in a four-year drought
that has devastated some rural communities, prompted some farmers to
leave fields unplanted or tap expensive water supplies and dented fish
populations. Many cities have avoid-

Humane Society will be on hand to provide some extra comfort before boarding the plane.
United Airlines and the Burlingame-based Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCA have partnered for #UnitedPaws,
an event running from Friday until Sunday where handlers
and certified therapy dogs will interact with airport passengers to create a more calming environment. The
#UnitedPaws event at SFO is part of a larger program that
places local teams of handlers and their dogs in international airports at United Airlines terminals nationwide.
The partnership, according to the Peninsula Humane
Society, aims to show the public the unique value of interacting with dogs in stressful environments and realize the
soothing benefit of canine companionship, even if its just
15 or 20 minutes before a flight.
According to the organization, #UnitedPaws has been
positively received at many airports nationwide.
The Peninsula Humane Society, in addition to
#UnitedPaws, provides regular visits to health care facilities, libraries, schools and the San Francisco County Jail in

Pastor accused of child molestation


pleads to significantly reduced charge
A Daly City pastor who had been charged with three
felony counts of child molestation pleaded no contest
Wednesday to a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment
which will not require him to register as a sex offender,
prosecutors said.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said there were serious
evidentiary problems with the prosecutions case against
70-year-old Venije Singkoh, leading the drastically reduced
charge. Singkoh, a pastor at churches in San Francisco and
Concord who also held services at his Daly City home, was
accused of holding a 9-year-old parishioner on his lap and
kissing her inappropriately multiple times between Jan. 1,
2013, and Feb. 7, 2014, according to prosecutors.
The girl told her parents, who arranged a meeting with
church members and Singkoh. He denied the allegations but
was arrested in August and charged with three felonies.
As the case progressed the number and severity of the
charges were significantly whittled down. In December, a
judge ruled that Singkoh should only stand trial for one of
those three counts, deciding some of the conduct did not fall
under lewd intent.

Emails: U.S. officials aware


of Clintons private address
By Lisa Lerer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senior Obama


administration officials, including the White House chief of staff,
knew as early as 2009 that Hillary
Rodham Clinton was using a private email address for her government correspondence, according
to some 3,000 pages of correspondence released by the State
Department late Tuesday night.
Clintons emails have become
an issue in her 2016 presidential
campaign, as Republicans accuse
her of using a private account
rather than the standard government address to avoid public
scrutiny of her correspondence. As
the controversy has continued,
Clinton has seen ratings of her
character and trustworthiness drop
in polling.

administration policy.
The emails, covering March

posted online as part of a court
mandate that the agency release

Obama aims to change


conversation around
the Affordable Care Act
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack


Obama is aiming to use the momentum
from a recent Supreme Court victory for his
health care law to change the conversation
from talk about undoing his signature
domestic achievement to talk about how to
improve it.
Obama was headed to the Nashville,
Tennessee-area on Wednesday to discuss
ways to improve the Affordable Care Act,
including by extending Medicaid coverage
to more low-income people. Tennessee is
one of the few states where a Republican
governor has tried to expand coverage for
the poor.
Obama wants to change the conversation
after the U.S. Supreme Court last week
turned away a major challenge to the law
that would have endangered health insurance for millions of Americans. In a 6-3
decision, the justices upheld federal financial aid to millions of low- and middleincome Americans to help pay for insurance premiums regardless of where they
live.
Obama declared after the ruling that the
law is here to stay. He cited progress
under its provisions, but said weve still
got work to do to make health care in
America even better, including by helping
consumers make informed choices about
their medical care, increasing the use of
preventive care, improving the quality of
hospital care and reducing costs.

Just over 80 percent of people under age


65 had health insurance when Obama enacted the law in 2010. Since then, the share
has risen to about 90 percent.
The administration would like to boost
health care enrollment even further by
helping the remaining uninsured get coverage. But achieving the goal largely
depends on roughly 20 states, most led by
Republican governors and including some
heavily populated states like Florida and
Texas, that have refused Obamas offer of
billions of dollars in federal money to pay
to expand their Medicaid programs.
Obama has said in recent days that conREUTERS
vincing these holdout governors will be

School in Nashville, Tenn.
If we can get some governors that have
been holding out and resisting expanding
Medicaid primarily for political reasons to
think about what they can do for their citizens who dont have health insurance but
could get it very easily if state governments acted, then we could see even more
improvement over time, Obama said at the
White House on Tuesday.
Next year is the final year that
Washington will offer full funding to states
to pay for the expansion. After 2016, the
federal share will begin to gradually
decline, and that will leave states with
expanded Medicaid programs responsible
for picking up more of the costs.
Republican lawmakers said the Supreme
Court decision doesnt change the fact that
the law is flawed and should be repealed. No
Republicans voted for the law in 2010.

Overcoming hostilities, U.S.

WASHINGTON After more than a


half-century of hostility, the United
States and Cuba declared Wednesday
they will reopen embassies in each
others capitals this month, marking a
historic full restoration of diplomatic
relations between the Cold War foes.
For President Barack Obama, the
opening of the U.S. Embassy in the
heart of Havana is one of the most tangible demonstrations of his long-standing pledge to engage directly with U.S.
adversaries. Heralding the embassy
agreement, Obama declared: This is
what change looks like.
Cuban television broadcast Obamas
statement live, underscoring the new
spirit. In a letter to Obama, Cuban
President Raul Castro praised the
embassy announcement as a way to
develop respectful relations and cooperation between our peoples and governments.
Despite the historic step, the U.S. and
Cuba are still grappling with deep divisions and mistrust.
The U.S. is particularly concerned
about Cubas reputed human rights violations. Cuba is demanding an end to the

Confidential U.N. report


positive on Iran nuclear
reduction commitments
By George Jahn and Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA Iran has met a key commitment under a preliminary nuclear deal setting up the current talks on a final agreement, leaving it with several tons less of
the material it could use to make weapons,
according to a U. N. report issued
Wednesday.
Obtained by the Associated Press, the
confidential International Atomic Energy
Agency report said more than four tons of
the enriched uranium had been fed into a
pipeline that ends with conversion of it into
oxide, which is much less likely to be used
to make nuclear arms.
The report indicated that only several hundred pounds of the oxide that is the end product had been made. But a U.S. official told
the AP the rest of the enriched uranium in the

The official said that technical problems
by Iran had slowed the process but the
United States was satisfied that Iran had met
its commitments to reduce the amount of
enriched uranium it has stored. He demanded
anonymity because he was not authorized to
discuss the confidential review process.

scientific stagnation: The Dark Ages.
Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,

the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.

with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientific
processes.

Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being

U.S. probing possible airline collusion that kept fares high


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. government is investigating possible collusion among major airlines to limit
available seats, which keeps airfares
high, according to a document
obtained by the Associated Press.
The civil antitrust investigation by
the Justice Department appears to
focus on whether airlines illegally signaled to each other how quickly they
would add new flights, routes and extra
seats.
A letter received Tuesday by major
U.S. carriers demands copies of all

communications the airlines had with


each other, Wall Street analysts and
major shareholders about their plans
for passenger-carrying capacity, or
the undesirability of your company
or any other airline increasing capacity.
The Justice Department asked each
airline for its passenger-carrying
capacity both by region, and overall,
since January 2010.
Justice Department spokeswoman
Emily Pierce confirmed that the department is looking into potential unlawful coordination among some airlines. She declined to comment further

name and will have its main offices in
Zurich, Switzerland, where Ace is
based. The news pushed up the prices
of other insurance companies.
Corporate deal making has been on
the rise this year as CEOs become
more confident about the outlook for

close to historic lows. The low rates
mean that corporations can borrow
cheaply to finance acquisitions.
Airline stocks were among the days

That pulls Californias unofficial economic ranking down

California bottomed out at ninth in 2010 after a harsh

Another S.M. thriller at Fairway

Blake Stevens delivers a two-run double to


give San Mateo National an extra-inning lead.

One night after San Mateo American staged


a thrilling extra-inning win at Pacificas
Fairway Park, San Mateo National showed it
would not be outdone.
National stayed alive in the District 52
Minors Tournament Wednesday with an 8-4
win in eight innings over Palo Alto American.
Nationals Blake Stevens had the clutch goahead hit with a two-run double in the eighth.
Entering the sixth inning the final regula-

tion inning in Little League tournament play


National trailed 4-3. But they were able to
scratch out a run to force extras. Now, they are
still alive in the District 52 tourney, advancing
through the losers bracket to face San Carlos
National Friday at Fairway Park at 5:30 p.m.
This team has got a never-give-up attitude, San Mateo National manager Joe
Iskander said.
Joe Iskander stuck with his starting pitcher
Josh Iskander for as long as he could. The
right-hander soldiered through six innings in
his first District 52 start to take a no-decision.

henever I hear those San


Francisco Giants fans slogans, In Bochy We Trust and
I believe! I cant help but roll my eyes.
Those types of fans annoy me because
they believe everything is A-OK in
Giants land and they stand behind everything the team
does, instead of
looking at the team
with a critical eye.
But the way the
Giants are playing,
Im becoming more
inclined to join the
chorus. Manager
Bruce Bochy, and to
a wider extent Brian
Sabean and his
front-office crew,
seems to push the
right buttons, make
the right move at the right time and has
generally massaged this team to well
within striking distance of the first-place
Los Angeles Dodgers.
All with a pitching staff comprised of a
lot of smoke and mirrors, and an offense
that is missing two of its biggest offensive threats.
And yet the Giants find themselves
only a game and a half behind the
Dodgers going into play Wednesday.
The sheer number of injuries the Giants
have suffered already this season should
have them buried in the National League
West standings, but San Francisco continues to show that those three championships in five years are no fluke.
I had deep reservations about this team
coming out of spring training and that
poor performance in late February and
March continued right into April. No
Hunter Pence, no Matt Cain, a pitching
staff that was still trying to find its legs
and not a lot of offense.
And who comes riding to the rescue?
Rookie pitcher Chris Heston, who was so
far off the Giants radar he wasnt even on

By Will Johnston
The transition from a revered star to an
everyday grinder is not always an easy
one. College of San Mateo outfielder Brad
Degnan found out the hard way.
I learned a lot, because the level is so
much higher than what I was used to,
Degnan said. I actually really struggled in
the beginning, but halfway through it kind
of clicked for me and I found myself in the
lineup.
Degnan, who posted a .303 batting average along with a .434 slugging percentage
in his first year as a Bulldog, made a good
impression on longtime CSM manager
Doug Williams.
Hes a real competitor and has a drive to
really want to do well, Williams said.
With good speed, an above average arm
and projectable power, Degnan will most
likely be seen scouring the turf in one of
the corner outfield positions, according to
Williams.
I think hes Division I talent,
Williams said.
Degnan established himself early on as
something of legend around the high
school baseball field. After starting on the
Woodside varsity team during his freshman and sophomore years, he broke onto
the scene as a junior with the spectacular
feat of tallying three home runs in one
inning.
The junior earned himself a Yahoo headline and the title of the only player in the
history of California to accomplish such
an act.
What many people do not know is that
that was not Brads only three home run
game, Woodside manager Tim Faulkner
said. We were playing at El Camino, who
has a funky field. Brad hit three balls that
would have hit the gym at our field, but
since the fence is only 260 feet (from
home plate), they were all ground rule doubles. So I credit him with 14 home runs
that year.

It was the longest outing through Nationals


three games in the tourney.
His pitch count was low and he was inducing groundballs, Joe Iskander said.
That he was, and Nationals defense consistently made plays behind him. Both teams
displayed exceptional fundamentals, making
for a tight contest with the squads seesawing
amid a one-run differential throughout.
The difference maker was National cleanup
hitter Jack Olson. Although he bounced

Defense helps U.S. team to the Womens World Cup final


By Anne M. Peterson

MONTREAL It used to be that the U.S.


womens national team was known more for
its fierce attack. For the Womens World
Cup in Canada, the Americans are finding
success with a locked-down defense.
Goalkeeper Hope Solo, beleaguered at the
start by new revelations in her domestic
violence assault case last year, has been
nearly perfect with five straight shutouts.
Her latest came on Tuesday night when the
United States defeated top-ranked Germany

in the semifinals before


a raucous pro-American
crowd at Montreals
Olympic Stadium.
Normally so focused to
the point of almost
appearing stern, the television cameras caught

appeared the United
States had guaranteed its place in the final.
Now its on to the title match set for
Sunday at BC Place in Vancouver. The

United States will face the winner of the


other semifinal Wednesday night between
defending champion Japan and England in
Edmonton.
Four years ago in Germany, Japan defeated the United States on penalty kicks after a
2-all draw for its first World Cup title.
The U.S. women have won two World
Cups, but the last championship came in
1999. This will be the teams fourth appearance in the final.
The teams success so far in the tournament has been boosted not only by Solos
spectacular work in goal but by a stellar

backline of Meghan Klingenberg, Becky


Sauerbrunn, Julie Johnston and Ali Krieger.
The United States has gone 513 minutes
without conceding a goal. Only Australia,
in the first half of the group-stage opener,
has managed to score against the
Americans.
Its a spectacular stat, to be honest with
you. I always tell the team, we just need one
more than our opponent if we keep a clean
sheet, coach Jill Ellis said. And its not
just our goalkeeper and our back four. I

Djokovic, Williams win on Wimbledons hottest day


By Stephen Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Down a break at 3-1 in the


first set, defending champion Novak
Djokovic kept his cool on the hottest day
in Wimbledon history.
Running off 13 points in a row, Djokovic
seized command and stayed in front the rest
of the way on Centre Court as he beat
Finlands Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 on
Wednesday to reach the third round of
Wimbledon on a sweltering day at the All
England Club.
With temperatures soaring into the mid30s C (mid-90s F), former champions
Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova and
French Open winner Stan Wawrinka also
won in straights sets.
Exiting the tournament were fifth-seeded
Kei Nishikori, who pulled out with a calf
injury before his second-round match, and
No. 7 Ana Ivanovic, who fell in straight
sets to American qualifier Bethanie MattekSands.
Nieminen started fast, breaking serve in
the opening game and going up 3-1. But the
top-ranked Djokovic won the next three
games, including two at love, and never let
Nieminen playing in his final
Wimbledon before retirement back into
the match.
He came out firing some incredible
shots, said Djokovic, who also won the
title in 2011 and is going for a ninth Grand
Slam title. He made, I think, four winners
in the first game, four or five in the second
game. He was a break up but I managed to
regroup, play some good tennis and get the
control on my side.
Players wrapped ice towels around their
necks during changeovers and spectators
used umbrellas to block out the sun as temperatures soared to record levels at a tournament known more for its rain delays than
summer conditions.

service, said temperatures reached 35. 7
degrees C (96.26 degrees F) at Kew Gardens,
the closest observation site to the All
England Club.
The previous record was 34.6 C (94.3 F)
in the summer of 1976. The Met Office also
said it was the hottest July day on record
in London, with 36.7 C (98.1 F) recorded at
Heathrow Airport.
Organizers kept the retractable roof over
Centre Court closed in the morning to keep
out the heat, then had it partially covering
the spectators behind the baselines to give
them shade.
Medical officials treated nearly 100 people by mid-afternoon for heat-related issues
but no major incidents were reported. A ball
boy collapsed during a match on Court 17
and was taken off on a stretcher but was

reportedly recovering well after treatment.


Despite the unusual heat, most players
said they werent particularly bothered.
It wasnt as bad as I thought, Djokovic
said. People were talking about it and predicting really difficult conditions. But I didnt
find it as difficult as I thought it might be.
Djokovic gave the 33-year-old Nieminen
a warm embrace at the net and joined the
Centre Crowd in applauding for the Finn
after his last match at Wimbledon.
Nieminen waved to the crowd and kissed his
fingers and patted the grass before leaving
the court.
Its his last Wimbledon, so I was just
congratulating him on a terrific career,
Djokovic said. Hes been around for so
many years. A very, very nice guy, one of
the nicest guys off the court.
Williams, the top-ranked five-time champion, won her 23rd consecutive Grand Slam
match, serving 12 aces in a 6-4, 6-1 win
over Timea Babos of Hungary in a late
Centre Court match.
I hope Im not playing my best. I have a
lot of room to improve, said Williams,
who next faces Britains Heather Watson as
the American bids for a fourth straight Grand
Slam title and 21st overall.
Wawrinka, seeded No. 4, held serve
throughout and beat Victor Estrella Burgos
of the Dominican Republic 6-3, 6-4, 7-5.
Not my best tennis, but typical second
round of a Grand Slam, said Wawrinka, who
reached the quarterfinals last year.
In one of the days biggest surprises,
158th-ranked Mattek-Sands upset Ivanovic
6-3, 6-4. Mattek-Sands, who was out for six
months last year with a left hip injury, had
32 winners, more than twice the number for
Ivanovic, a former No. 1 player who reached
the semifinals in 2007.
Fourth-seeded Sharapova, the 2004 champion, beat Dutch qualifier Richel
Hogenkamp 6-3, 6-1.
In one of the tightest matches of the day,
No. 9 Marin Cilic the 2014 U.S. Open
champion needed more than 3 1/2 hours
to overcome 90th-ranked Ricardas Berankis
of Lithuania 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 7-5.
Cilic will next face John Isner, the 17thseeded American who Matthew Ebden in

Fernandez says his long layoff was a life
lesson, even if it was lousy for his career.
Now hes back, saying hes a better person for having made the taxing, tedious
recovery from Tommy John surgery. Hell

Ive been waiting 13 months, said the

San Carlos American was one scoring


decision from opening the District 52
Minors Tournament with a no-hitter
Saturday at Pacicas Fairway Park.
Right-handers Johnny Larios and Gavin
Everett ofcially combined on a one-hit
shutout through ve innings in a 10-0
mercy-rule over Palo Alto National. Larios
worked four innings and allowed the lone
hit an ineld hit in the fourth inning.

Butler leads
As past Rox
By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Billy Butler hit his first


triple in nearly three years and also singled,
Jesse Hahn pitched six solid innings and the
As beat the Rockies 4-1 on Wednesday.
Hahn (6-6) improved to 4-1 over his last
six starts after giving up one run on four hits.
He walked two and struck out six.
Tyler Clippard retired the final four hitters
for his 14th save.
Butler, Josh Reddick, Mark Canha and Eric
Sogard drove in runs as the As won the series.
Billy Burns added two hits and scored twice.
Chad Bettis (4-3) allowed three runs on
seven hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings.
Butler led off the third with a shot into left
field. Rafael Ynoa slammed into the wall and
was shaken up, allowing Butler to chug into
third, his first three-bagger since August
2012.
Butler scored on Sogards sacrifice fly, and
hit an RBI single in the fifth. Burns tripled
leading off third and scored on Reddicks double.

Brandenberg was convinced the play should


have been ruled a throwing error. On the
play, shortstop Bryce Burke made a diving
backhand, but threw errantly to rst. The
ofcial scorer ruled it a single with an error
allowing the runner to advance to second.
[Burke] got up with plenty of time, but
made a throwing error, Brandenberg said.
Larios showed nerves of steel in his
District 52 Minors debut, using his razor-ne
fastball to dominate the outside half of the
plate. He hooked up with catcher Ryan Hove
through four shutout innings, striking out
ve and commanding ve groundball outs.

I wasnt that nervous, Larios said. Ive


pitched in big games before.
Larios learned the art of precision from his
father Steve, who taught him how to pitch.
Athletics are also in his genes, as Larios is
the grandson of legendary local high school
coach Ed Larios.
[Control] kind of comes naturally for
me, Johnny Larios said.
Saturdays game was a pitching duel until the
fourth inning when San Carlos sent 12 batters
to the plate. Xavier Van Loben Sels had two hits
in the inning. Everett threw a perfect fth to
close out San Carlos only win of the tourney.

Bours 9th-inning blast sinks Casilla, Giants


By Steven Wine

MIAMI San Francisco Giants closer


Santiago Casilla took the mound in the ninth
inning with a two-run lead, and was heading
for the dugout after just 11 pitches.
They werent good ones.
He was really off, manager Bruce Bochy
said.
Consecutive singles and Justin Bours
three-run homer with no outs in the ninth
gave the Miami Marlins a 6-5 victory over
Casilla and the Giants.
The Giants lost even though they out-hit
Miami 14-8 and tied a franchise record by
turning five double plays.
We played great, did a lot of good things,
come back to take the lead, and unfortunately, its baseball, Bochy said. The closer
was off tonight, and thats the difference in
the game.
The Marlins comeback cost Florida native
Chris Heston his ninth victory. Heston,
pitching before more than 20 friends and relatives, went six innings for the Giants and
allowed three runs, all in the third.
This is the first time Ive been to Florida in

the summer in a while,


Heston said. To get to
come home and see the
family, it was real special.
Casilla (4-2) entered
the game with a 5-3 lead
and blew a save for the
fourth time in 24
chances.

with

gle, Adeiny Hechavarria
singled, and Bour pulled a 1-0 sinker over
the fence in right field.
Im always confident when he throws his
sinker, Giants catcher Andrew Susac said.
That one just happened to run back over the
plate.
Casilla didnt talk to reporters after the
game.
Bour was greeted by a cluster of teammates
and doused with a sports drink as he crossed
home plate.
My jersey is soaked and might be ruined,
he said. But Id do it again tomorrow.
The Giants had been 38-2 when leading
after seven innings. Now they must try to
avoid a three-game sweep Thursday when
they face Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, return-

ing from a layoff of more than a year following Tommy John surgery.
Miami squandered a 3-1 lead and committed
a season-high three errors, which led to two
unearned runs.
San Franciscos five double plays matched
the team record for a nine-inning game,
achieved six other times. Shortstop Brandon
Crawford homered and had a hand in all five DPs.
Miami starter Dan Haren allowed 10 hits
and four runs, three earned, in 5 2-3 innings.
He fared better at the plate, crossing up the
Giants in the Marlins three-run third inning
when he faked a bunt on a 2-2 pitch and
instead swung and singled past the first baseman to drive in a run.

Trainers room
Buster Posey left the game in the sixth
inning after he took a foul ball off the mask
in the fourth. He passed a concussion test and
said he hoped to play Thursday. ... RHP Tim
Hudson left the team to deal with a personal
issue. He is bothered by a sore shoulder and
might go on the DL. ... OF Hunter Pence

Japan to World Cup finals

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDMONTON, Alberta Laura Bassett scored into her own


net during second-half stoppage time, giving Japan a 2-1 victory over England in a Womens World Cup semifinal.
The decisive goal Wednesday came when Japans Nahomi
Kawasumi drove up the right side and sent a cross into the
middle for Yuki Ogimi. Bassett reached out with her right foot
and caught the ball flush, inadvertently sending it toward her
net. The ball struck the crossbar and bounced in just before
goalkeeper Karen Bardsley could get across.
The defending champions advanced to play the United
States in the championship game at Vancouver on Sunday. Its
a rematch of the 2011 championship game in Germany, when
Japan won on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.
Bassett was inconsolable at the end of the match, lying flat
on the ground, her face in the turf. She then needed assistance
from teammates and her coach before leaving the field.
It was a torturous finish for the sixth-ranked Lionesses, who
have made their deepest run in four World Cup appearances.
England had never won an elimination game until this year.
England will remain in Edmonton to play top-ranked
Germany in the third-place match Saturday. England lost 2-0
to the United States on Tuesday.
England lost despite controlling much of the second half
against the fourth-ranked Japanese. And that was despite what
Japan coach Norio Sasaki had said a day earlier, when he suggested his players were superior.
The teams traded penalty kick goals seven minutes apart in
the first half.
Aya Miyama opened the scoring in the 33rd minute by driving the ball into the open left corner while Bardsley guessed
the wrong way.
The penalty was set up when Mizuho Sakaguchis long kick
from Japans side of the field found Saori Ariyoshi free up the
right side. As Ariyoshi got control of the ball, she was pushed
from behind by Claire Rafferty.
The Lionesses responded on Fara Williams penalty kick in
the 40th minute. She threaded a shot just inside the left post,
barely out of the reach of diving keeper Ayumi Kaihori.
The game was played on Canada Day the nations 148th
birthday in front of a slow-arriving crowd. The attendance
was announced at 31,467 in a stadium that holds more than
53,000. The crowd wouldve been would have been much larger had England not eliminated the host country in the quarterfinals last weekend.

think this team has embraced the


accountability and responsibility of
defending on every line. Its something we ask of them, but they deliver.
They understand that its important.
Klingenberg pulled off a big save in
the highly anticipated group stage
match against No. 5 Sweden, led by
former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage. The
diminutive defender leaped to head
away a shot by Caroline Seger. The
ball hit the crossbar and caromed away
from the goal. Goal-line technology
was used to confirm the ball never
crossed the line.
The save in the 77th minute preserved the 0-0 draw and the United
States went on to finish atop the
group stage heading into the knockout
round.
Solo, who won the Golden Glove
award for the 2011 World Cup, leads
all goalkeepers in the tournament with
12 saves to one goal against.

meanor charges stemmed from an
altercation with her half-sister and 17year-old nephew at a party in
Washington.
The charges against Solo were
dropped earlier this year.
Solo has talked about her play via
videos released by U.S. Soccer.
Ive said it all along, that you have
a young player like Julie Johnston,
who was ready for the big stage. She
was ready for this type of tournament,
shes come a long way in the last year.
You put her besides somebody as calm
as Becky Sauerbrunn and it makes the
perfect mix, Solo said. Obviously
our wingers are incredible.
Johnston, who made just three
appearances with the national team
last year before emerging as a starter
in matches leading up to the World
Cup, has undeniably been a success
story in the tournament. But she
admittedly made a mistake in
Tuesdays match when she fouled
Germanys Alexandra Popp inside the
box in the 59th minute. It was a foul
that could have garnered her a red card.
But Celia Sasic, the World Cups top
scorer with six goals, missed the
penalty kick wide. The United States
went on to score twice, on Carli
Lloyds penalty kick and Kelley
OHaras late goal.
Solo and Sauerbrunn both pulled a
teary-eyed Johnston aside after the
foul to tell her they had her back.
I think its important for me to

learn from it, Johnston said. I dont


want that to ever happen again. It was
on my shoulders. Thats my fault and I
put that all on me, Johnston said.
We have one more game and I need to
focus on and do what I need to do for
the team.
Clearly, that was a hint of the
accountability Ellis referred to.
Weve got gritty players in the
back, weve got sophisticated players
in the back, Ellis said. And they just
do a great job of reading the game and
shutting down the opponent.

One Marlins fan, Andres Salgado, let
his hair and beard grow during
Fernandezs hiatus. To celebrate their
aces return and raise money for charity the Marlins invited Salgado to the
ballpark before Wednesdays game, and
Fernandez helped shave his head and
face.
Look, hes becoming a good-looking guy now, Fernandez said with a grin
after turning the clippers over to an actual barber.
Yet to be determined is how soon
Fernandez might look like his old self, a
pitcher who went 16-8 with a 2.25 ERA
in 36 career starts before his injury.
Fernandez endured no significant setbacks during his rehabilitation. But
Marlins closer A.J. Ramos, who underwent Tommy John surgery while at
Texas Tech, acknowledged its not a
given Fernandez will immediately
excel.
I went through the same thing when I
was in college, and its a long process,
Ramos said. When youre away from
the mound for a long time, its tough. A

lot of it is mental. Its just about getting


over that mental hump and knowing
that you can still go out there and compete and not have any issues.
Fernandez will be on a commonsense pitch count, said Jennings, who
declined to elaborate. The right-hander
threw 90 pitches in his final rehab start
Saturday in Double-A. Backup catcher
Jeff Mathis, who has worked with
Fernandez since 2013, will be behind
the plate.
That may help settle the excitable
Fernandez, whos at risk of trying to
channel more than a year of pent-up
energy into every fastball.
Hes going to be amped up,
Jennings said. But I think hes wise
enough to calm things down and stay in
the right frame of mind and the zone that
he needs to compete in.
Fernandez may attempt to strike out
every batter, but knows he wont. At
this point in his comeback, he said, he
realizes the important thing is that hes
healthy and on the mound again.
To be back in that circle, he said, is
going to be really special.

Warriors, Draymond Green agree to 5-year, $85M deal Sharks sign


By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND No need to go through


restricted free agency. Draymond Green is
coming back to the Golden State Warriors on
his own terms.
Green announced on Bleacher Reports
Uninterrupted website Wednesday night he
has agreed to a five-year deal with the
Warriors. A person with knowledge of the
agreement told The Associated Press the contract is worth about $85 million.
The person spoke to the AP on condition
of anonymity because terms have not been
disclosed. Yahoo Sports first reported the
agreement.
Green was a restricted free agent, meaning
the NBA champion Warriors could match any
offer he received. But Golden State always
expected to pay whatever salary he commanded, even if that meant dipping into the

MINORS
Continued from page 11
around the batting order in the regular season
for the Nationals not to be confused with
the National All-Stars he has settled into
the middle of the order through District 52
play.
Olson proved the quintessential cleanup hitter Wednesday, falling one leg shy of the
cycle. He got National on the board with a
booming two-run home run in the first. He
added a double in the third and a leadoff single
in the eighth. He also walked and scored the
tying run in the sixth.
Today I just felt it and I hit the ball well,
Olson said.
Olsons defense loomed just as large. After
starting the game in center field, he moved to
first base amid a flurry of defensive changes in
the third inning. The move paid off big time.
Palo Alto tied the game 2-2 in the inning
when, with two runners on and no outs, Colin
Lee blooped an RBI single to score Sean Hogan.
On the play, Elias Duncan advanced to third and

leagues luxury tax,


which it will almost surely do now.
Its a major pay raise
for Green, who worked
his way up from an overlooked
second-round
pick to the runner-up for
NBA Defensive Player of
the Year and a key memDraymond
ber of the leagues topGreen
ranked defense. Green
made $3.6 million total in his first three
years in the league.
The Warriors count the versatile forward
as a core part of their long-term future
alongside MVP Stephen Curry and All-Star
guard Klay Thompson. General manager
Bob Myers and co-owner Joe Lacob called
re-signing Green the teams top priority
this offseason.
Now they can check it off their to-do list.

Green got his shot to start this past season


after David Lee injured his left hamstring in
the final preseason game. He took advantage
of the opportunity, receiving more firstplace votes for Defensive Player of the Year
than winner Kawhi Leonard of the San
Antonio Spurs while playing both forward
positions and center.
The 25-year-old Green averaged 11.7
points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists during
the regular season. In the playoffs, he averaged 13.7 points, 10.1 rebounds and 5.2
assists, including a triple-double in the Game
6 clincher against Cleveland in the NBA
Finals.
The Warriors drafted Green 35th overall in
2012 after passing on the former Michigan
State standout with their first two selections.
He quickly emerged as an elite defender and
has rapidly improved his 3-point shooting,
going from 20.7 percent his first season to
33.7 percent this past season.

Lee moved to second on the throw home.


Then Joe Iskander worked a little Houdini
magic. Jackson Martin followed with a comebacker to the mound. Duncan at third base
froze initially, but broke for the plate when
Joe Iskander threw to first. But Olson alertly
fired home and, as Duncan got dirty with a
slide, catcher Gio Severen stonewalled the
dish and applied the tag to complete the double play.
Then with the runner on third and two
outs, Joe Iskander escaped the jam by turning in another National defensive gem when
cleanup hitter Junior Soliman lifted a foul
pop-up just beyond the first-base line. Joe
Iskander got a great first step off the mound
to track down the pop-up with a sweet basket catch to retire the side.
After an exchange of offense in the fourth,
Palo Alto took a 4-3 lead. But in the sixth,
National sparked a rally on Olsons leadoff
walk. David Madera followed with a line-drive
single to left and Olson alertly read the ball,
which proved big as he beat the throw to second base by a step. Then after Stevens drew a
walk to load the bases, Olson scored on a sacrifice fly by Josh Iskander.
National escaped another jam in the seventh.

With left-handed reliever Jordan Minahan on


the mound, Palo Alto got its leadoff hitter on
via walk. But Minahan battled back against the
following batter and by snagging a sharp
comebacker to turn a 1-6-3 double play.
Nationals offense seized the momentum in
the following half inning when Olson led off
the eighth with a single to center.
What I am thinking is Ive got to get on
base no matter what, Olson said. I got my
pitch and I just put a swing on it and was able
to get a hit.
Madera followed by getting hit by a pitch.
Both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Then
Stevens usually a consistent pull hitter
delivered the go-ahead knock by shooting a
low fastball to the opposite field.
He threw me an outside fastball and I just
took it to the opposite field, and it hit the
chalk, Stevens said.
National went on to score four runs in the
inning. Minahan earned the win through two
innings of work.

Paul Martin
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks signed


free agent defenseman Paul Martin to a
$19.4 million, four-year contract Wednesday
in a move to shore up a
suspect blue line.
The Sharks main priority this offseason had been
improving a defense that
allowed the most goals per
game for the franchise in
nine years. That was a
major reason why San Jose
Paul Martin missed the postseason for
the first time since 2003.
Paul is versatile, puck-moving veteran
who enhances our younger group of talented
defensemen, general manager Doug Wilson
said. He comes from a winning environment,
is capable of playing heavy minutes and is
accustomed to playing with high-end players.
He was a player that we had targeted and this is
a place that Paul wanted to come play.
The move to sign Martin comes after San
Jose acquired starting goalie Martin Jones
in a deal with Boston and locked up pending
restricted free agent defenseman Brenden
Dillon with a $16.35 million, five-year
contract earlier this week.
The 34-year-old Martin had spent the past
five seasons in Pittsburgh. He is strong in
the defensive zone and is a good puck mover.
He had three goals and 17 assists in 74 games
last season. He had only 20 penalty minutes
and skated an average of 22:47 per game.
Martin also is a strong penalty killer who
will be counted on to help fix a unit that finished 25th in the league last year after killing
78.5 percent of short-handed opportunities.

State legislation responds


to cheerleader lawsuits
By Sudhih Thanawala
THE ASSOCAITED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO They boost


their teams from the sidelines and
promote them by appearing in calendars and at fan events, but some
sports cheerleaders say they are
still not considered team employees
and are paid what amounts to less
than minimum wage.
California legislation believed to
be the first of its kind in the nation
is set to change that.
The bill approved by the state
Senate on Monday and sent to the
governor for his signature would
require that cheerleaders be paid at
least minimum wage and overtime
and sick leave if they work for professional sports teams based in
California.
A similar bill was introduced in
New York State this year.
The focus on cheerleader pay
comes in the wake of a spate of
recent lawsuits against NFL teams
alleging they did not pay cheerleaders for hours they spent practicing
and making public appearances.
Attorneys for some of the cheerleaders say the legislation is good,
but existing law is already clear that
cheerleaders are employees entitled
to minimum wage.
Oakland Raiders cheerleaders
were paid $125 per home game, or
$1,250 per season, in a contract
that includes hours of unpaid
rehearsals, charity and commercial
appearances, according to Vinick.
Vinick reached a $1.25 million settlement last year on behalf of
dozens of Raiderettes who worked
for the team from 2010 to 2013.

Vinick rejected the teams classification of the cheerleaders as independent contractors, saying the
team decided what dances they performed and music they used and set
strict requirements for them.
Vinick also rejected arguments
that the women were receiving
exposure that could open up opportunities in modeling or other fields.
If you are a young starting quarterback, you get lot of notoriety for
that, but you also get paid for that
work, she said. The fact that the
women might get some opportunities
doesnt justify not paying them.
Buffalo Bills cheerleaders were
not paid at all, even for game days,
said Sean Cooney, a partner at the
law firm of Dolce Panepinto who is
representing six cheerleaders in
lawsuits filed last year that name
the team. The cheerleaders also had
to pay for their uniforms and hair
and makeup.
All because it was a job they
like, that they were told was a privilege, Cooney said.
Calls to Bills and Raiders representatives were not immediately
returned. The Raiders in court documents said the cheerleaders lawsuit should be handled by league
arbitration.
The New York Jets, Cincinnati
Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
have also been sued over cheerleader pay, with the Buccaneers
reaching a settlement this year.
The NFL declined comment on
Californias legislation. NFL teams
are advised to follow state and federal employment laws, and team
cheerleaders are not employed by
the league.

paid off in spades. Not only has he thrown

Then Ryan Vogelsong turned his season

Madison Bumgarner, who hasnt skipped a

bag, but while hes given up a lot of hits,
he hasnt given up a lot of runs, while Tim
Lincecum started strong, but has faded.
Once the pitching stabilized, it was time
for the bats to heat up. Bochy plugs in a

suffered in the outfield, Blanco continues to
be the ultimate Swiss Army knife.
While Sabean and Company swung and
missed on Casey McGehee replacing Pablo
Sandoval at third base, they have more
than made up for it by plugging Matt Duffy
into that spot and the still-rookie has
become one of the best batters with runners
in scoring position.
The relative lack of depth right now,
however, is the teams biggest issue. There
has been a lot of talk of dealing for another
starting pitcher or a starting outfielder
or even two.
The Giants, however, are not looking for
trades, but reinforcements and if Cain,
Pence and Nori Aoki can come back healthy
and do what they did before they were hurt,
it could be the injection the Giants need to
propel them past the Dodgers and on into
the playoffs.
Weve seen what Bochy can do with a
Giants squad at half strength. Imagine
where he can lead this team when its fully
loaded?

Great watering can


help garden output
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Plants need water to keep cool,


pump minerals up to their leaves
and grow. And in many regions
and many seasons, they can fend
for themselves getting water.
Used to be, they had to. It was
less than a hundred years ago that
garden hoses came on the scene.
Before that, rainfall was pretty
much all plants got, except in arid
regions where periodic flood irrigation was used.
Still, plants sometimes could
use help getting water, especially
these days, when more of us are
trying to eke more vegetables out
of less land.

MAKE THE MOST OF WATER


Before you touch that hose
spigot, however, do what you can
to help plants eke the most out of
natural rainfall and water. Add
compost, leaves and other organic materials to your soil to help it
retain water. Laid on top of the
ground as mulch, these materials
slow evaporation from the surface; they also keep the surface
loose so water seeps in rather
than runs off. Weeds suck water
from the soil, so rip them out to
leave more water for your plants.
And finally, contour the surface of
sloping ground with low mounds

or terraces to catch and hold water.


Next, find out if your plants
need water. Needs vary with soil
type and weather. Sandy soils
need most frequent watering. Low
humidity, wind and heat all make
plants thirstier.
Individual plants also vary in
their water needs. Those that are
lush-growing use the most water,
and plants recently set in the
ground need help until their roots
venture out into surrounding soil.

IS WATER NEEDED?
A reliable way to tell whether
the soil is moist or dry is to dig a
hole and feel the soil for moisture. Or, instead of pocking your
garden full of test holes, you
could periodically check for wetness by probing the soil with an
(inexpensive) electronic moisture
meter.
Even easier, though less precise, is to play the averages.
Monitor rainfall and apply water
so plants receive a 1-inch depth
of water per week, which is what
an average plant needs in an average season. A rain gauge or any
straight-sided container can tell
you how much rain has fallen, and
then you can water to make up the
difference. That inch-depth of
water is equivalent to about a halfgallon of water per square foot, so
if you want to figure, instead, how

If youre sprinkling, water once a week, preferably some sunny morning when its early enough that the air is still
calm yet late enough that leaves soon dry, lessening chances for diseases.
many gallons a plant needs, estimate the number of square feet
covered by its roots and multiply
by one-half.
One exception to the 1 inch
per week (or one-half gallon per
square foot) rule is for plants in
containers. Such plants may need
water every day perhaps even
twice a day during their peak of
growth in summer.

NOT TOO MUCH,


NOT TOO LITTLE
For plants in the ground, youll
be applying that inch of water

either with a sprinkler or through


drip tubing. If youre sprinkling, water once a week, preferably some sunny morning when
its early enough that the air is
still calm yet late enough that
leaves soon dry, lessening
chances for diseases.
With drip irrigation, use a timer
to spread that inch of water as
much as possible over all daylight hours of all seven days of
the week. This is, after all, how
plants use water one reason for
the good bang for the buck you
get with water merely dripped
slowly into the ground near a

plant. (Drip irrigation typically


uses only about 60 percent of the
water used by sprinklers.) Dont
worry about diseases from the frequent watering with drip irrigation; it does plants no harm
because leaves stay dry.
No matter what your proposed
method of watering, keep in mind
that many plants grow fine with
little or no supplemental watering
over much of the season in all but
arid regions. Dont be too zealous: Overwatering wastes water
and, by suffocating roots, is as
harmful to plants as underwatering is.

Landscape accessories can add personality to the garden


By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Flowers are the face of a garden, providing color and texture. But a few well-placed
landscape accessories can give it character
and a dash of personality.
Accessories can range from water fixtures, like ponds and streams, to outdoor
furniture and appliances, fountains to statuary, miniature fairy gardens to antiques.
Give it some thought, however.
Theres some wonderful stuff out there
(to collect) and its awfully tempting, but
you have to be really careful not to overdo
it, said Linda Engstrom, a landscape
designer from Portland, Oregon.
She advises putting no more than two or
three items in one area. It gets too cluttered
and the eye doesnt know where to go, she
said. You need some negative space.
Many of those items also can be highmaintenance.

Making your own accessories may be a great way to


save money, a fun craft hobby or family activity. ... Making
colorful pavers (stepping stones), either with inlaid objects,
designs or leaf impressions, is a great activity to involve children.
Leonard Perry, an extension professor with the University of Vermont

And landscape accessories should fit the


architectural style of the home, Engstrom
said.
I had a client once who had a Tudor
house but who wanted a Japanese garden.
That wasnt such a great idea, but I was able
to give her a Japanese-style garden semienclosed in the backyard, and it wasnt jarring, she said.
Engstrom doesnt like the trend toward
elaborate outdoor living rooms with
weather-proof furniture. I cant picture
leaving that stuff out there in wet or
snowy winters, she said. Its quite a

chore to keep it looking nice when placed


outside.
Accessories can be used to screen
unsightly utility sheds or add some visual
flavor to hobby greenhouses, she said.
Put up a pergola and string it with vines
and flowers. Add a fountain or garden seat.
Homemade landscaping objects are
becoming fashionable again, said Leonard
Perry, an extension professor with the
University of Vermont.
Making your own accessories may be a
great way to save money, a fun craft hobby
or family activity, Perry said. Making

colorful pavers (stepping stones), either


with inlaid objects, designs or leaf impressions, is a great activity to involve children.
Creativity also comes into play finding
unusual objects from flea markets, garage
sales or your basement and figuring out
how to incorporate them into a garden.
Landscape accessories can be functional
as well as attractive. Consider low-voltage
lighting that enhances safety along walks
and drives, and home security. Up-lighting tree trunks or creating a lighting
wash along the side of a home can add
focus and drama, Perry said.
Use lights to highlight fountains,
plants and containers in full bloom so they
can be enjoyed in the evening, too, he
said.
Tastes vary, of course, Perry notes.
What is tacky to some may appear to be a
thing of beauty to that gardener or homeowner, he said.

AUDIT

construction rights to a series of projects, as evidence of the flawed methods


employed by the South San Francisco
school district.
By using one modular company/general contractor for all modular projects,
the district reduced its negotiating
power while simultaneously increasing
project delivery risk, essentially
putting all of its eggs in one basket,
according to the report.

Continued from page 1


director Larry Scott are among the primary reasons the district is suffering a
bond deficit worth roughly $11 million,
according to forensic audit conducted by
Cossolias,
Wilson,
Dominguez,
Leavitt, a public accounting firm from
San Diego.
Scott, who was relieved from his post
after being hired in 2012, was responsible for authorizing a series of money
transfers with the intent of subverting
the district Board of Trustees, as well as
the bond oversight committee, after former Superintendent Alejandro Hogan
recommended granting him enhanced
supervision of the $162 million bond
passed by voters in 2010, according to
the report.
Scott did not respond to a request for
comment through the district. His position was eliminated but he is still
employed by the district until July 21,
according to district spokesman Ryan
Sebers.
The biggest problem here is that
things were done without proper authorizations, said John Sanna, president of
the bond oversight committee, which is
charged with reviewing the expenditure
documents granted by the district
administration with the intent of ensuring the bond is managed properly.

Escalating costs
Sanna noted Scott had not stolen
money from the bond, but rather transferred it between funds to cover escalating costs, which ultimately resulted in
draining the fund prior to finishing all
the promised projects.
Shortly after Scott was hired, the
Board of Trustees granted the bond director enhanced authority to manage construction costs, under the guidance of
Hogan, according to the audit.
This move, which was scrutinized by
the board prior to approval, gave rise to
a series of questionable maneuvers by
the bond management team headed by
Scott, which were not properly documented for review by the oversight
committee, according to the audit.
He was operating in a very
autonomous fashion, said Sanna.
Martin Romero, also a member of the
bond oversight committee, said had
Scott provided the oversight committee
with full and accurate financial documents, the district could have avoided
falling into a deficit.
We are really supposed to be reviewing accounts payable records to make
sure the money was being spent pursuant to the way the bond was presented
to voters, he said. With Larry Scott in
control of access to money, we werent
provided with adequate information to
make those determinations.

19

Board reaction

Sannas perspective aligned with


those sentiments.
We had been misled, Sanna said.
We were just going though the paces
and basically being shepherded, and I
dont feel very good about that.
Romero fingered Hogan, who denied a
request by the firm to participate in the
audit, for being culpable as well.
I dont understand how the superintendent did not understand all this is
going on, he said. I just find this
whole thing unbelievable.
Hogan cited improving district facilities as one of the greatest successes of
his tenure as superintendent, prior to
abruptly resigning in March, before
taking an assistant superintendents
position in Napa Valley Unified School
District.

Leaseback agreements
A portion of the districts financial
difficulties stemmed from entering
leaseback agreements for the building
of modular classroom buildings across
the district, which awarded all the projects to Project Frog, a San Franciscobased modular construction company.
Project Frog was soon found to not
have the requisite qualifications to perform the projects, which caused the district to turn to USS Cal Builders to serve
as contractors for the project through
engaging in a leaseback agreement,
despite there being no competitive
process leading to their selection,
according to the report.
Leaseback agreements, though traditionally common for school districts,
do not involve broadly publicized
requests for proposals.
Under such agreements, school districts typically rent property to a selected construction company for a small
amount of money and then leases it back
again later for an amount equivalent to
the project construction costs.
Critics have said the leaseback
process reduces the opportunity for
competitive bidding, which can be a
risky endeavor for school districts.
The audit cites a San Mateo County
Civil Grand Jury report released in 2007
which scolds the San Mateo Union High
School District for engaging in an
agreement allowing a sole company the

Board of Trustees President Judy Bush,


in a prepared statement, defended the
district, and expressed commitment to
fulfilling the bond obligations.
We have identified alternative
sources of funding to complete those
projects, she said. The district has
already made changes that address many
of the findings and recommendations of
the third-party auditing team and district
staff will continue to work to ensure
that there are no further oversight
issues with the Measure J program.
Romero though questioned the sincerity of the board, in its public statement.
They are not taking this very seriously, he said.
Rick Ochsenhirt, who served on the
bond oversight committee prior to
joining the Board of Trustees, said the
district could be prepared to pull from
reserves to pay for the rest of the projects.
During his tenure on the oversight
committee, Ochsenhirt said he believed
members were operating to the best of
their ability.
I thought our work was fine, and we
did what we were supposed to do, he
said.
But Ochsenhirt said that perspective
has shifted recently.
I have to look at it in a different
light, he said.
One of the final projects still required
to be addressed through the bond is construction at Martin Elementary School,
where an upswell of school community
members have expressed a desire to see
the district fulfill its obligations in
improving the campus.
Last week, the Board of Trustees
approved hiring an architect to review
the scope and master plan for Martin
Elementary School.
As the district looks to turn the page,
Romero expressed his disdain for the
way the bond has been managed.
It is an incredible mess, he said.
Sanna emphasized the need to look
forward and to serve the best interest of
district students, despite the previous
mismanagement.
We need to start exercising our
strengths in light of the worst possible
circumstances, he said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Anthony V. La Stella
Case Number: 125830
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Anthony (Tony) V. La
Stella. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Annette R. Ferrando in the Superior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that Annette R. Ferrando be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: August 3, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

MILLBRAE
Continued from page 1
intersection of Millbrae Avenue and El
Camino Real, during a joint meeting
Tuesday, June 30, between the City Council
and Planning Commission.
Many residents shared concerns regarding
the impact of traffic and parking that would
be caused by the influx of cars and people
driving to the large developments, which
are expected to offer a mix of housing,
office space, shops and a hotel near the transit center.
We are already impacted with traffic, we
cannot take any more, said resident Josie
Territo.
She was also disturbed by how construction may influence those living near the
site, including noise and a variety of other
concerns, which forced her to reconsider

YEE
Continued from page 1
Todays news turns the page on one of
the darker chapters of the Senates history,
Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin de Lesn
said about Yees plea.
Yee previously pleaded not guilty to
bribery, money laundering and other felony
charges.
His arrest was the culmination of the

munity gathering space, which could be an


event center and could attract residents and
shoppers to the station area project.
Kelly Erardi, of Republic Urban
Properties, which is developing the project
for BART, espoused the virtue of the project.
Millbrae is located in the middle of
everything, he said. I think its a perfect
location.
But not everyone shared the same enthusiasm for the plan forwarded by the transit
agency.
Former councilwoman Gina Papan said
the BART project could be doing more to
connect the proposed development to the
rest of the city.
This is our opportunity to really make
this more than a landmark, she said. If
Millbrae expresses their vision of the project, we can make it happen.
She suggested the retail center proposed
for the BART site target high-end business-

es, such as an Apple Store, that would serve


as the anchor to attract shoppers from
across the Bay Area and benefit from the
easy access to public transportation.
I think we can do greater things, she
said.
The two projects, which are only the first
two to come forward in the region targeted
for development, would add a combined
nearly 400,000 square feet of office space,
nearly 80,000 square feet of retail and more
than 800 residential units which are expected to bring more than 2,100 residents and
nearly 1,900 workers to Millbrae.
Following the June 30 meeting, residents
will have further opportunity to express
their concerns and perspectives on the project, by contacting the city.
All input on the projects will be addressed
in the final environmental impact report,
which is expected to be released later this
summer. The report is needed before the
projects themselves can go through the
public planning process.

FBIs multi-year investigation of Raymond


Shrimp Boy Chow, the elected dragonhead of the Chinese fraternal group
known as the Ghee Kung Tong.
The FBI alleges the association was a
racketeering enterprise and that undercover
agents laundered $2.6 million in cash from
illegal bookmaking through the organization.
Chow has pleaded not guilty to money
laundering and other charges.
Federal agents say one of Chows associates was Keith Jackson, a former San
Francisco school board president and well-

known political consultant who raised


money for Yees unsuccessful mayoral run in
2011 and his bid for secretary of state.
Jackson, along with Yee, was accused of
soliciting bribes in exchange for helping a
business and influencing legislation.
Jackson pleaded guilty to the same racketeering charge as Yee on Wednesday.
The FBI started by hiring Mr. Jackson
and paying him money to do perfectly lawful things, Jacksons attorney James
Brosnahan said after the plea. They also
promised him great wealth. After they had
done that, they began to embroil him in the

matter that brings him to his plea today.


Yee also discussed helping an undercover
FBI agent get weapons worth $500,000 to
$2.5 million, including shoulder-fired missiles, and explaining the entire process of
acquiring them from a Muslim separatist
group in the Philippines to bringing them
to the U.S., according to an FBI affidavit.
Yee said he was unhappy with his life and
told the agent he wanted to hide out in the
Philippines, the FBI affidavit says.
The agent who discussed arms with Yee
allegedly presented himself as a member of
Ghee Kung Tong.
