What will Bob Grassilli do?
With a four-fths majority needed to over-
ride any protests of the citys plan to rezone
its North Crestview site and swap it with the
school district, the councilman is looking
to be the deciding vote.
Mayor Mark Olbert is the loudest propo-
nent of the idea and is joined by
Councilmen Ron Collins and Cameron
Johnson. Councilman Matt Grocott is on
the other end of the spec-
trum, illustrating his dis-
agreement with any
rezoning of the parcel by
refusing to participate in
negotiations between the
city and the San Carlos
Elementary School
District. He also opposed
the idea of closed door
negotiations.
That leaves Grassilli.
Bob looks to be the guy on the fence,
Grocott said.
Grassilli didnt respond to inquiries for
comment but in May indicted a leaning
toward an election as a way to keep the
future open.
I always like options. The more options
the better, he said at the time.
The City Council last month agreed to
abandon the land as park space but the law
requires it to hold a protest hearing. If even
one resident submits a written protest of the
plan, the City Council can only override it
and go forward with calling an election by a
four-fths majority.
The decision Monday night isnt whether
to actually go ahead with the tentative deal
struck between the city and district this
week but rather, in essence, whether voters
should be given the chance to weigh in.
This means Grassilli could actually be
against the plan but still feel an election is
warranted on the zoning issue.
Resident Andrew Taylor predicts
Grassillis business background will lead
Protests amassing against rezoning park for school

Two new schools coming
to Redwood City in 2015
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two new charter schools will be coming to Redwood City
in 2015, much to the dismay of opponents who fear they
will take away resources from already struggling schools,
while others are pleased to have more choices.
Much of the criticism of the KIPP Bay Area Schools and
Rocketship Education, which could both enter the Redwood
City Elementary School District during the 2015-16 school
year, is centered on the fact that the district could lose

bought a winning, $70 million lottery
ticket in San Francisco has stepped for-
ward to claim his prize.

the winner on Wednesday as 41-year-

Plus jackpot.
Chin told lottery ofcials he learned
he had won the day after the May 24
draw. But he waited to claim his prize so
he could conduct research and create a
plan.
He plans to invest most of his
money, though he may also splurge on
a house or car. He is currently not work-
ing, but says he will probably retire
now.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.
Police in South Florida say they arrest-
ed a man suspected of stealing weed
killer after he left his shoe behind
while running away.
Police in Palm Beach Gardens say 29-

The Palm Beach Post reports some-
one attempted to stop the pair but
Copper ran to a getaway car. Leaving
one of his shoes behind.
Police spotted the car and pulled it

right Nike shoe, which matched the one
left at the store.
Its not known whether Copper has
an attorney.

PRINEVILLE, Ore. Central Oregon

a 1930 Ford Model A coupe to church
on Sunday to show it off.
But when he left it so he could get a
bite of lunch, sheriffs deputies say, it
was stolen and crashed into the
Crooked River south of Prineville.
Photos show the mangled vehicle in
the river, but no estimate of the damage
was immediately available.
KTVZ-TV reports that the man was
xing the car for a family that owned it.

Erik Blake Halpin, described as a tran-
sient, was accused of drunken driving

saying she climbed over a barrier to the
enclosure where lions are kept and tried
to feed them cookies.
The unidentified womans actions
were reported by other zoo patrons,
who saw her jump the barrier and heard
her singing to the animals. After the
barrier, only wire separates guests from
the lions inside the enclosure.
Zoo spokeswoman Abbey Dane told
Memphis station WMC-TV the
womans behavior was dangerous for
her and the lions. She said the woman
wont be allowed back into the facility.

ment.

A string of residential burglaries across
three cities may be related after similar sus-
pects and a luxury car were spotted near the
crimes, according to police.
On Tuesday, three homes were broken into
in Hillsborough and a Belmont homeowner
interrupted an attempted burglary. Last
week, a San Carlos home was burglarized
and descriptions of possible suspects and a
silver Audi seen in the neighborhoods of all
the burglaries lead police to believe a group
of men are on a crime spree.
Its more common for people engaging
in this type of activity, and with the fre-
quency of the burglaries weve had over the
last week, its more common than not it
would be the work of several individuals
working together, said Hillsborough
police Capt. Doug Davis.
Of the three homes that were burglarized
in Hillsborough on Tuesday, it appears two
may be related, Davis said.
A home near Marlborough and Avondale
roads was burglarized sometime between
3:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. Asecond home on
the 2700 block of Churchill Drive was bro-
ken into through a smashed bedroom win-
dow sometime between 3:15 p.m. and 7:45
p.m., according to police.
A third home near Calaveras Court and
Lakeview Drive was broken into between
12:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. after burglars
smashed a second oor window.
Jewelry, iPads, laptops, credit cards and
IDs were stolen between the three robberies.
At least one of the homes was substantially
burglarized and even childrens bedrooms
were ransacked, Davis said.
After reaching out to the public via
Facebook and Twitter, a resident called in
and gave a description of a silver Audi occu-
pied by several young black men in the
neighborhood of the burglaries, Davis said.
A vehicle matching this description has
also been spotted near crimes in Belmont
and San Carlos, Davis said.
A Belmont resident interrupted an
attempted burglary when two men wearing
hooded sweatshirts tried to break in to a
home on the 1300 block of Sixth Avenue
around 1:35 p.m. Tuesday. The men knocked
on the front door and, when the resident did-
nt answer, went to the back door and began
jiggling the handle, according to police.
The resident apparently startled the men
who ed but it appears they may have been
casing other homes to burglarize, according
to police.
The suspects are described as thin black
men in their 20s wearing backpacks. One
was wearing a green sweatshirt and the other
a purple sweatshirt, according to police.
Asilver Audi and suspects matching a sim-
ilar description were seen near a home on
the 200 block of Sycamore Street in San
Carlos that was burglarized last week,
according to police.
The home was broken into through an
unlocked bathroom window and the house
was ransacked. When the resident came
home, they saw a silver Audi ee at a high
rate of speed, according to police.
Residents are reminded to lock all win-
dows and doors, activate any home alarms
and to call police immediately if they sus-
pect any suspicious activity.
Police are asking for anyone with surveil-
lance video in the area of any of the burgla-
ries to come forward.
Anyone with information can contact
Hillsborough police at (650) 375-7470 or
Belmont police at (650) 595-7400.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A San Francisco-based escort website
was shut down by the FBI and the IRS
Wednesday, according to a notice now
replacing the homepage of
MyRedBook.com.
The website was used for free listings for
services ranging from massage parlors,
strippers, dominatrixes and escorts
throughout the western United States.
This domain name is subject to both
civil and criminal forfeiture, the FBI
wrote in its notice. This seizure is based
on probable cause to believe that this
domain name was involved in money laun-
dering derived from racketeering based on
prostitution in violation of state and fed-
eral law.
FBI spokesman Peter Lee said that a
hearing related to the case would be held
this afternoon in the federal courtroom of
U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins
in San Francisco.
He confirmed that there were multiple
FBI search and arrest warrants served in
the Bay Area Wednesday, including in the
200 block of Houghton Street in Mountain
View.
Bay Area sex workers have expressed
concern that the seizure could affect their
livelihood and safety.
Kristina Dolgin, a spokeswoman with
the Bay Area chapter of the Sex Worker
Outreach Project, said that some of her
groups members are consulting with
attorneys out of concern that the FBIs tar-
geting of MyRedBook could lead to
charges filed against them.
Dolgin said the FBI might have gained
IP addresses, phone numbers, email
addresses and other personal details of Bay
Area sex workers.
Its a very scary thing, she said.
Furthermore, Dolgin said the loss of
MyRedBook as a free resource for sex
workers one that allows them to screen
clients and work through a relatively safe
environment could put an already mar-
ginalized community further at risk.
Theyre going to have less safe interac-
tions and be put into situations where they
can be put at risk of violence, Dolgin
said. To those who cant afford switching
to another website, this is completely
detrimental.
Other websites offer similar services,
she said, but charge to create listings and
operate on a national scale.

The sex offender accused of attack-
ing a Burlingame priest who asked him
to stop smoking on church grounds is
wanted on a $75,000 bench warrant
after failing to appear in court on
assault charges.
David Donald Lewis was scheduled
for a preliminary hearing on the
charges but did not attend, leading to
the warrant.
Prosecutors say Lewis, 43, walked
onto the grounds of St. Catherine of
Siena Catholic
Church in
Burlingame about
9:22 a.m. June 11
and was asked to
leave by staff
because school was
in session. Lewis
reportedly walked
away from the
church but stayed on
the grounds smoking.
The 65-year-old priest, who was not
dressed in clerical clothing, exited the
rectory and told Lewis he could not
smoke and asked him to leave. Lewis
reportedly approached the priest, who
grabbed a broom out of fear for his
safety, and punched him multiple times
in the face and chest. The priest fell
and fractured his elbow while Lewis
ed.
Burlingame police found Lewis in
the area of California Drive and
Rhinette Avenue and he denied attack-
ing anyone. The priest positively
identied him as the man who assault-
ed him, according to authorities.

The San Mateo County Fair atten-
dance reached a ve-year high as did
concession sales and carnival rides,
according to gures released this week.
The 80th annual summertime staple
drew 128,040 people during its nine
days earlier this month. Attendance
this year beat out the 120,000 fairgo-
ers of 2013 which itself showed a 20
percent jump over 2012.
This years fair was the fourth held
since organizers moved it up in the cal-
endar from late summer to June. The
shift initially caused an attendance dip
but has continually swung up in the
following years.
Chris Carpenter, general manager of
the San Mateo County Event Center,
credits this years fair success in part
to the launch of its new smartphone
app and expanded educational and
health offerings.
Organizers headed into the 2014 fair
with the goal of drawing a more diverse
crowd and attracting more families.
The ever-popular pig races, rain forest
and corn dogs were back but also
joined by a special moms tent, agri-
tourism booth and healthy food
options.
Carpenter said he and his team are
already busy planning the 2015 fair
which will be held June 6-14.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The first public opin-
ion poll since Californias June 3 primary
shows Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown
maintaining a 20-point lead over his gen-
eral election challenger, Republican Neel
Kashkari.
The Field Poll released Wednesday found
52 percent support for Brown among like-
ly voters, while 32 percent support the
former U.S. Treasury official who is mak-
ing his first run for public office. The rest
were undecided.
Brown, 76, is seeking an unprecedented
fourth term as governor after serving from
1975-1983 and is considered the strong
favorite in November. Although he has
not held any public campaign events, the
poll found he is regarded
favorably by more than
half the likely voters
surveyed. He also has
more than $21 million
in his re-election
account.
Equally important,
according to the poll, is
Browns strong name
recognition after a life-
time in politics. He has
served as attorney general, secretary of
state and as mayor of Oakland. His father,
Pat Brown, also served two terms as gov-
ernor.
That family history and long career in
the public eye mean that far more voters
have an opinion of him.
While 85 percent of respondents could
offer either a positive or negative apprais-
al of Brown, only about 44 percent could
do so for Kashkari, a former Goldman
Sachs investment banker who oversaw the
Treasurys bank bailout during the height
of the recession.
Kashkari, 41, overcame Republican
state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly during
the primary. Their race was a study in con-
trasts, pitting tea party favorite Donnelly
against socially moderate Kashkari.
Kashkari made headway introducing
himself to voters during that campaign.
But he will need millions of dollars to
raise his profile throughout the state and
mount a credible challenge to Brown, who
will have the added campaign muscle of
organized labor.
In the only TV ad of the primary cam-
paign, Kashkari took aim at the $68 bil-
lion high-speed rail project Brown sup-
ports. Other issues that could play into the
November race include efforts to revamp
the $11.1 billion water bond on the bal-
lot, which Brown wants to cut to $6 bil-
lion, and Browns controversial realign-
ment program, which sends most lower-
level criminals to county jails instead of
state prisons.
Kashkari campaign manager Pat Melton
said the GOP candidates favorability rat-
ing has risen dramatically among voters
who were targeted in June.
Once all voters examine the governors
dismal record overseeing the nations
worst schools, jobs climate, and poverty,
were confident theyll support Neels
positive, inclusive message and his plans
to rebuild the middle class, Melton said
in an emailed response.
Brown maintains strong lead in governors race
Moodys cites pluses in California credit upgrade
SACRAMENTO Californias credit rating is rebound-
ing, reecting the relative stability of its state budget.
Moodys Investors Services upgraded the rating
Wednesday from A1 to Aa3. It cited positive governance
changes, an improved nancial position and a good job
managing debt.
The move follows similar upgrades last year by Standard
& Poors and Fitch Ratings as California began recovering
from the recession.
Its the rst time California has had such a high rating
from Moodys since 2001. Even so, it remains relatively
low.
California is tied with Arizona and Connecticut for 46th
place on Moodys ranking. New Jersey and Illinois are low-
est.
Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a $108 billion gener-
al fund budget that pays down debt, builds a rainy day fund
and provides additional money for schools and health care.
Injured Giants fan attends trial as it nears end

However, Stow was quickly hustled

Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, who pleaded guilty
in the assault, were seen on camera in Los Angeles County
jail invoking their Fifth Amendment right not to testify.
They refused even to say their names.

Speaker of the House John Boehner, right, listens as Barack Obama speaks n the East Room
of the White House.
By David Espo
WASHINGTON The House will vote
next month on legislation authorizing a
campaign-season lawsuit accusing
President Barack Obama of failing to carry
out the laws passed by Congress, Speaker
John Boehner announced on Wednesday.
In a memo distributed to House mem-
bers, Boehner, R-Ohio, accused Obama of
aggressive unilateralism and said if left
unchecked, it would give the president
king-like authority at the expense of the
American people and their elected legisla-
tors.
White House press secretary Josh
Earnest dismissed any suggestion that the
president has failed to act within the law
in issuing executive orders or taking other
actions. We feel completely confident
that the president was operating within
his authority as the president of the
United States to take these steps on behalf
of the American people, he told
reporters.
Whatever the outcome of the suit in the
courts, Boehners announcement guaran-
tees creation of yet another political
struggle between Republicans and Obama
and his Democratic allies in a campaign
already full of them.
On matters ranging from health care
and energy to foreign policy and educa-
tion, President Obama has repeatedly run
an end-around on the public and
Congress, the speaker wrote. He accused
him of ignoring some statutes complete-
l y, selectively enforcing others and at
times, creating laws of his own.
Boehner: House plans to sue Obama
DENVER Afederal appeals court ruled
for the rst time Wednesday that gay couples
have a constitutional right to marry, extend-
ing the movements legal winning streak
and bringing the issue a big step closer to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
The three-judge panel in Denver ruled 2-1
that states cannot deprive people of the fun-
damental right to marry simply because
they choose a partner of the same sex.
The court dismissed as wholly illogical
the notion that allowing gays to wed could
somehow undermine traditional marriage.
The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower-court
ruling that struck down Utahs gay marriage
ban. It becomes law in the six states covered
by the 10th Circuit: Colorado, Kansas, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming.
But the panel immediately put the ruling on
hold pending an appeal.
The Utah attorney generals ofce planned
to appeal, but it was assessing whether to
go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court or ask
the entire 10th Circuit to review the ruling,
spokeswoman Missy Larsen said.

NEWYORK GoPro has climbed moun-
taintops and dived to ocean bottoms.
Now its headed somewhere only
slightly tamer: Wall Street.
The maker of wearable sports
cameras, loved by mountain
climbers, divers, surfers and
other extreme sports fans, said
late Wednesday it sold 17.8 mil-
lion shares at $24 each in its
initial public offering of stock.
The IPO was priced at the high
end of GoPros expected range
and raised $427 million, valuing the
whole company at about $3 billion. The
proceeds from the IPO could rise to $491
million if underwriters use their option to
buy more shares.
The stock will begin trading on the
Nasdaq stock market Thursday under ticker
symbol GPRO.
The San Mateo company is entering a
busy time for initial public offerings, with
seven companies expected to make their
debut on the same day. Its the third busiest
week for IPOs since 2000, according to
IPO investment adviser
Renaissance Capital.
But GoPro is likely to stand
out. Its branded cameras have
created a new market, selling
electronics and accessories to
people who want to take video of
themselves jumping out of a plane
or riding a skateboard especially
rst-person videos that capture the
experience as they saw it.
They seem to have dominated this
business, said Kathleen Smith, co-
founder of Renaissance Capital, which man-
ages a fund that tracks recent IPOs.
GoPro wants to go beyond cameras. It has
hinted that it wants to be a media company,
too, by making money off the videos creat-
ed by the cameras.

Brown signs bill to streamline teacher firings
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation
Wednesday making it easier for school districts to re abu-
sive teachers, capping an effort that gained momentum after
a particularly egregious case of misconduct in Los Angeles
highlighted how difcult it can be to remove problem teach-
ers.
AB215 takes effect Jan. 1 after several failed attempts in
recent years to overhaul statutes governing teacher dis-
missals.
The signing came just two weeks after a court struck down
Californias teacher tenure laws and tossed out other statutes
related to ring educators.
AB215 creates a separate, expedited ring process for
teachers accused of egregious conduct, including sexual
abuse and certain drug crimes. Such dismissals would be
decided by an administrative law judge, rather than two
teachers and a judge.
It also accelerates the appeals process for all dismissals.

Rangel holds off challenge
to win primary in New York
NEW YORK U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, the face of
Harlem politics for generations, held off a strong
Democratic primary challenge and moved
one step closer to what he says will be
his 23rd and nal term in the House.
Rangel, 84, defeated state Sen. Adriano
Espaillat in what was a bruising ght that
shed light on the changing face of a dis-
trict that was once one of the nations
black political power bases.
With 100 percent of the vote counted in
unofcial results, Rangel led Espaillat
47.4 percent to 43.6 percent, a difference
of fewer than 2,000 votes. Nearly 47,800 votes had been
counted. The Associated Press called Rangel the winner
based on information Wednesday from the city Board of
Elections on ballots cast that were not included in the elec-
tion night tally. The number of absentee and provisional bal-
lots was not sufcient for Espaillat to make up the difference.
Fired up and ready to go! the congressman declared in a
statement thanking voters for standing with me to the very
end and giving this veteran his one last ght.
Ruling could help U.S. become major oil exporter
Companies are taking advantage of new ways to export oil
from the U.S. despite government restrictions, and in the
process helping the U.S. become an ever bigger exporter of
petroleum on the world stage.
The Obama Administration has opened the door to more
exports without changing policy by allowing some
light oils to be dened as petroleum products like gasoline or
diesel, which are not subject to export restrictions.
Although U.S. production has boomed in recent years, the
nation still consumes far more crude oil than it produces and
remains heavily dependent on imports. But the crude being
produced by U.S. drillers in recent years includes types of
oils that dont have a big market here. This has the oil
industry and some politicians calling for an end to crude
export restrictions, which were adopted after the 1973 Arab
oil embargo.

WASHINGTON In a strong defense
of digital age privacy, a unanimous
Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that
police may not generally search the
cellphones of people they arrest with-
out rst getting search warrants.
Cellphones are powerful devices
unlike anything else police may nd
on someone they arrest, Chief Justice
John Roberts said for the court.
Because the phones contain so much
information, police must get a warrant
before looking through them, Roberts
said.
Modern cellphones are not just
another technological convenience.
With all they contain and all they may
reveal, they hold for many Americans
the privacies of life, Roberts said.
The message to police about what
they should do before rummaging
through a cellphones contents follow-
ing an arrest is simple. Get a warrant,
Roberts said.
The chief justice acknowledged that
barring searches would affect law
enforcement, but said: Privacy comes
at a cost.
The court chose not to extend earlier
rulings that allow police to empty a
suspects pockets and examine whatev-
er they nd to ensure ofcers safety
and prevent the destruction of evi-
dence.
The Obama administration and the
state of California, defending the cell-
phone searches, said cellphones
should have no greater protection from
a search than anything else police nd.
But the defendants in these cases,
backed by civil libertarians, librarians
and news media groups, argued that
cellphones, especially smartphones,
are increasingly powerful computers
that can store troves of sensitive per-
sonal information.
By recognizing that the digital rev-
olution has transformed our expecta-
tions of privacy, todays decision is
itself revolutionary and will help to
protect the privacy rights of all
Americans, American Civil Liberties
Union legal director Steven Shapiro
said.

BAGHDAD Syrian warplanes
bombed Sunni militants posi-
tions inside Iraq, military offi-
cials conrmed Wednesday, deep-
ening the concerns that the
extremist insurgency that spans
the two neighboring countries
could morph into an even wider
regional conict. U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry warned
against the threat and said other
nations should stay out.
Meanwhile, a new insurgent
artillery offensive against
Christian villages in the north of
Iraq sent thousands of Christians
eeing from their homes, seeking
sanctuary in Kurdish-controlled
territory, Associated Press
reporters who witnessed the scene
said.
The United States government
and a senior Iraqi military ofcial
conrmed that Syrian warplanes
bombed militants posi t i ons
Tuesday in and near the border
crossing in the town of Qaim.
Iraqs other neighbors Jordan,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey
were all bolstering ights just
inside their airspace to monitor
the situation, said the Iraqi of-
cial, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to speak to the media.
American ofcials said the tar-
get was the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant, the Sunni extrem-
ist group that has seized large
swathes of Iraq and seeks to carve
out a purist Islamic enclave across
both sides of the Syria-Iraq bor-
der.
Weve made it clear to every-
one in the region that we dont
need anything to take place that
might exacerbate the sectarian
divisions that are already at a
heightened level of tension,
Kerry said, speaking in Brussels
at a meeting of diplomats from
NATO nations. Its already
important that nothing take place
that contributes to the extremism
or could act as a ash point with
respect to the sectarian divide.
Meanwhile, two U.S. ofcials
said Iran has been ying surveil-
lance drones in Iraq, controlling
them from an aireld in Baghdad.
The ofcials, who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because they
werent authorized to discuss the
issue publicly, said they believe
the drones are surveillance aircraft
only, but they could not rule out
that they may be armed.
A top Iraqi intelligence ofcial
said Iran was secretly supplying
the Iraqi security forces with
weapons, including rockets,
heavy machine guns and multiple
rocket launchers. Iraq is in a
grave crisis and the sword is on its
neck, so is it even conceivable
that we turn down the hand out-
stretched to us? said the ofcial,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensi-
tivity of the subject.
Kerry issues warning after Syria bombs Iraq
ABUJA, Nigeria An explo-
sion blamed on Islamic extremists
rocked a shopping mall in
Nigerias capital, Abuja, and
police said 21 people were killed.
The blast came as Nigerians
were preparing to watch their
countrys Super Eagles play
Argentina at the World Cup in
Brazil. Many shops at the mall
have TV screens but it was unclear
if the explosion was timed to
coincide with the match, which
started an hour later.
Witnesses said body parts were
scattered around the exit to Emab
Plaza, in Abujas upscale Wuse 2
suburb. One witness said he
thought the bomb was dropped at
the entrance to the mall by a
motorcyclist. All spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity for fear of
reprisals.
Soldiers shot and killed one sus-
pect as he tried to escape on a
power bike and police detained a
second suspect, Mike Omeri, the
government spokesman for the
insurgency, said in a statement.
Billows of black smoke could be
seen from a mile (kilometer) away,
and police said 17 vehicles were
burnt out in the blast.
I heard the explosion and (felt)
the building shaking, said
Shuaibu Baba, who had a narrow
escape. He said he rushed down-
stairs to nd that the driver who
had dropped him a few minutes ear-
lier was dead. I asked the driver to
come with me, and he said No, he
would wait for me in the car.

West to Putin: Prove
commitment to Ukraine peace
MOSCOW The Kremlin on
Wednesday renounced the right to
send troops into Ukraine and
voiced support for a peace plan, but
the West said Russia must do much
more to stop the ghting in eastern
Ukraine if it wants to avoid a new,
more crippling round of sanctions.
A cease-re, already fragile, is
set to expire Friday, the same day
that Ukraine signs a pivotal eco-
nomic agreement with the
European Union and the day that
the EU and U.S. may consider fur-
ther punitive measures against
Russia.
After months of upheaval, this
much is clear: The West appears to
accept that it can do nothing about
Russias annexation of Crimea,
while Moscow seems resigned to
Ukraine signing the sweeping
trade pact that will bind the country
more closely to the EU.
Amid turmoil, Libya
holds parliament elections
CAIRO Libyans voted
Wednesday for a new parliament in
an election they hope can turn a
corner and bring some stability
after three years of dizzying chaos
in the North African nation, which
has hardly had a functioning gov-
ernment and has been plagued by
rampant militias and Islamic
extremists since the ouster of
Moammar Gadha.
Islamists and their allies, who
held a thin majority in the outgo-
ing parliament, are expected to
lose ground in the vote, blamed by
many for a political deadlock with
their opponents that has virtually
paralyzed the political system.

tially raising them from 50 to 90 feet.
Established in 1977 as a result of a voter
initiative, Ordinance 1284 was intended to
preserve the existing character of San Bruno
by requiring voter approval for high-rise
developments, increased density in exist-
ing neighborhoods and projects encroach-
ing upon scenic corridors and open spaces.
Permits and approvals cant be issued to
allow construction of building taller than
50 feet or that exceed three stories unless
approved by a majority of voters at a regular
or special election.
Im denitely in favor of putting it on
the ballot, said Mayor Jim Ruane. Its
going to be a complement to downtown. Its
from 1977 based on 1974 facts. Now is the
time with the economy doing well to build
upon what weve worked on for many
years.
The discussion on building heights start-
ed in 2012 when the city concluded a strate-
gic vision process with a transit corridor
plan, said City Manager Connie Jackson.
The transit corridor plan outlines a number
of different areas in the transit corridor,
including along El Camino Real, San Bruno
Avenue and San Mateo Avenue. In the plan,
proposed building heights range from three
to seven stories in some areas.
The plan is critical to the citys achieve-
ment to transform those key areas of our
city into the future, she said.
At the same time, it will be important to
be sensitive to the neighbors needs, Ruane
said. Still, some local business leaders say
the height limits need to change to give
downtown a boost, with Dennis Sammut,
CEO of the Artichoke Joes Casino on
Huntington Avenue, noting that a lot of the
buildings in the downtown 1600 block of
San Mateo Avenue are 100 years old.
The downtown is tired; its old, he said.
Someday youve got to bite the bullet. I
think theyre (the council) kind of caught.
Theres a lot of resident concerns. Its a very
difficult decision for the council; its
dynamic. If they want the town to move
into the next century, it has to be an intelli-
gently planned development. Looking
for the future of San Bruno, the way to help
move it forward is increase height limits.
You cant go crazy and put up a 90-story
building though.
During a recent City Council study ses-
sion on the topic, there was very strong
interest on the part of the residents sur-
rounding the transit corridor area to
improve the visual quality of the commer-
cial areas, said Jackson. The city has done
some preliminary work to evaluate what
might be an important initiative to take to
the voters.
There was a strong interest to make sure
there was thoughtful integration of new
development areas with existing residential
neighborhoods, she said. Keeping the
character and quality and to make sure taller,
more densely populated buildings didnt cre-
ate a negative impact for neighbors.
For any development for which the
restrictions of Ordinance 1284 apply, the
ordinance also requires town hall type meet-
ings so the public is fully informed before
voting.
Although a ballot measure has yet to be
precisely formulated, its anticipated a
measure will be presented for action at its
July 22 meeting.

WASHINGTON Sanctions aimed at key
economic sectors in Russia because of its
threatening moves in Ukraine might be
delayed because of positive signals from
Russian President Vladimir Putin, according
to Obama administration ofcials.
The United States and its European allies
were nalizing a package of sanctions with
the goal of putting them in place as early as
this week, said the ofcials and others close
to the process. Penalizing large swaths of
the Russian economy, including its lucra-
tive energy industry, would ratchet up the
Wests punishments against Moscow.
The U.S. and Europe have already sanc-
tioned Russian individuals and entities,
including some with close ties to Putin, but
have so far stayed away from the broader
penalties, in part because of concern from
European countries that have close econom-
ic ties with Russia.
But with the crisis in Ukraine stretching
on, a senior U.S. ofcial said the U.S. and
Europe are moving forward on common
sanctions options that would affect several
areas of the Russian economy. A Western
diplomat said those options included
Russias energy industry, as well as
Moscows access to world nancial mar-
kets.
Seeking to shore up European support for
sector sanctions, President Barack Obama
called Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi
on Wednesday, a day after discussing the sit-
uation with British Prime Minister David
Cameron.
Secretary of State John Kerry told
reporters in Brussels Wednesday that Putin
must prove himself through actions, not
just words. And if the Russian leader fails
to act, Kerry said the U.S. and European
Union are committed to inicting greater
costs, including tougher economy sanc-
tions. But no sanctions will be announced
Wednesday, Kerry added.
The U.S. and Europe have been eyeing a
European Council meeting in Brussels later
this week as an opportunity to announce the
coordinated sanctions. However, the enthu-
siasm for new sanctions, particularly
among European leaders, appears to have
waned in recent days as countries evaluate
whether Putin plans to follow through on a
series of promises that could ease the crisis,
ofcials said.
The Russian leader acted Tuesday to
rescind a parliamentary resolution authoriz-
ing him to use the Russian military in
Ukraine; on Wednesday, the parliaments
upper house canceled it. Putin also urged the
new Ukrainian government to extend a
weeklong cease-fire and called for talks
between Ukraine and pro-Russian rebels
who are widely believed to be backed by the
Kremlin.
Putins moves came one day after he
talked by phone with Obama, their rst
known conversation in more than two
weeks.
The threat of sector sanctions may be
driving Putin to try to avoid penalties that
could have a devastating impact on the
already shaky Russian economy. However,
there were no guarantees that Moscow
would abide by the Wests requests to pull
back its troops from the Ukrainian border,
stop arming separatists and negotiate seri-
ously with Kiev.
Indeed, there were signs Tuesday of just
how fragile the situation on the ground
remains. Hours after Putin called for the
cease-re to be extended, pro-Moscow sep-
aratists shot down a Ukrainian military hel-
icopter, killing nine servicemen.
Vice President Joe Biden spoke to
Ukraines new president, Petro
Poroshenko, for the third time in as many
days and offered his condolences for the
deaths. The White House said Biden also
underscored the importance of having mon-
itors in place in Ukraine to verify viola-
tions of the cease-re, as well as the need to
stop the supply of weapons and militants
from owing across the Russian border.
At the State Department, spokeswoman
Marie Harf said the situation entailed two
steps forward, one step back.
We do see some positive signs on the
ground, she told reporters. The cease-re,
some separatists have accepted it, but the
same day some other separatists shot down
a helicopter. That President Putin says hell
go to the Duma, thats good, but then they
continue the military buildup.
Even if the U.S. and European Union
decide not to levy sector sanctions this
week, they could outline clearer intentions
to ultimately take that step.
Officials: Sanctions on Russia could be delayed
him to vote against an override because of
the strong litigation risk.
If Bob votes no, this issue dies and goes
away and there might be some pissed off
soccer moms and dads for a little while,
Taylor said. If Bob says yes, then thats
going to trigger [California
Environmental Quality Act] litigation and
this thing is going to rip the city apart for
another two or three years.
Rezoning the land paves the way to ulti-
mately let the city give the San Carlos
Elementary School District the Crestview
site for the Charter Learning Center current-
ly housed on the Tierra Linda Middle School
Campus. In return, the district will give the
city approximately 4 acres on the backside
of Tierra Linda, a 2.9-acre open space piece
adjacent to Heather Elementary School cur-
rently used as a dog park and $1.5 million
to invest in a city-owned athletic eld at
Tierra Linda. If any of the three parcels in
play are ever used or sold for development,
the city and school will split the prot s.
There is no question the council will
have a protest to consider. As of
Wednesday afternoon, the city had received
431 written protests, said City Clerk
Crystal Mui.
The Committee for Green Foothills is
further chumming the waters on behalf of
plan opponents, sending its own protest
letter and providing a template online for
others to do the same.
The Committee for Green Foothills has
long-standing interesting in the North
Crestview park which was created in 1974
to mitigate surrounding housing density,
legislative advocate Lennie Roberts wrote
in its protest letter.
Roberts suggests the space could be a
site of more active recreation and is an
important wildlife corridor. As the popula-
tion grows, the need for nearby green
spaces will become even greater, Roberts
wrote.
She also references a sticking point for
Grocott the citys general plan and the
lands existing zoning in it.
Grocott believes the city is working
backward and should first update its gener-
al plan on zoning in the entire area rather
than spot zone parcels. But regardless,
Grocott doesnt think any change is legal-
ly allowed because the park was created as a
mitigation measure and not, for example,
due to a donation of land. This, he said, is
why he wont decide Monday night to over-
ride the protests and let an election deter-
mine the lands fate.
Ethically, I dont think its right to take
that to the voters, he said.
The San Carlos City Councils protest
hearing is 7 p.m. Monday, June 30 at City
Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

Letters to the editor
I
magine receiving a ier on your door
stating that there is West Nile virus in
your neighborhood and that there will
be spraying pesticide in a few hours.
In addition, you are told you should bring
in your childrens toys and to leave your
windows closed during the treatment.
On one hand, you may be relieved that
the problem is being taken care of. On the
other hand, you may have questions about
the treatment and its impacts and be con-
cerned about the short notice. If you work
nights, you may not have even received the
notice until it was too late.
So it was last week when the San Mateo
County Mosquito and Vector Control
District sent out iers to a section of North
Central San Mateo stating it was taking
aggressive action after mosquitoes were
found with evidence of the virus. The mos-
quitoes were detected Wednesday and the
district decided spraying would take place
Thursday night.
This week, the district reported that its
efforts were largely successful and that the
fogging done from its trucks reduced the
mosquito population by 77 percent. In
addition, the virus was not detected post-
treatment. There was a public health con-
cern and it was treated aggressively.
So alls well that ends well, right? Yes,
but the district could have done a better job
in its noticing procedures and made sure its
phone was staffed after hours so concerned
residents could get their questions
answered. Apress release was issued
Thursday but details on the location were
scarce. And San Mateo city ofcials were
left elding calls from concerned residents
without sufcient information on the activ-
ities taking place.
Part of the rationale for spraying on
Thursday night was that, during the week-
end, more people would be out enjoying
the weather and there was a downtown festi-
val planned both Saturday and Sunday.
The spraying was warranted and success-
ful. Getting a handle on West Nile virus and
the mosquitoes that spread it is critical for
public health. The pesticide used is com-
mon and many who eat conventional pro-
duce in lieu of organic are probably
exposed to it every day. However, hand-
delivering notices that a particular neigh-
borhood will be sprayed without the ability
for residents to get more information
before treatment is not the best procedure
and we trust the district will take additional
measures to ensure questions can be
answered if and when such spraying is nec-
essary again.

ways across California are contaminated
with toxic pollutants.
Environment California Research and
Policy Centers report, Wasting Our
Waterways, ranks San Francisco Bay
fourth in the nation for the amount of total
toxic discharges in nationally iconic
watersheds, with 1.67 million pounds of
toxins discharged in 2012.
Congress passed the Clean Water Act
nearly 40 years ago to protect the Bay and
other waters across California. Yet, law-
suits brought by polluters have resulted in
court decisions that now put 140,000 miles
of Californias streams at risk of losing
this protection.
We cannot continue to allow polluters to
dump millions of pounds of toxic pollution
into Californias waters. This summer, the
Environmental Protection Agency is work-
ing to close the loopholes in the Clean
Water Act. This could be the single largest
step taken for clean water in more than a
decade. But polluters are pressuring the EPA
to back down.
We know San Francisco Bay is a big part
of what makes summer in California so
great. Thats why its critical we move
swiftly to close these loopholes and
restore Clean Water Act protections, so
that all of Californias waterways get the
protection they need and deserve.

Old boys club on the Harbor
Commission: No girls allowed
Editor,
In November 2012, the citizens of San
Mateo County elected Sabrina Brennan to
the San Mateo County Harbor District
Board of Commissioners with the most
votes ever received in a Harbor District
election. She has worked diligently to
fulfill her role on the commission. She is
the only woman on the commission.
Since her election, the commissioners
have held two rounds of selection for the
offices of president, vice president, treas-
urer and secretary.
In each of these rounds, Ms. Brennan
has been denied the opportunity to hold
any of these offices. In July 2013, her
fellow commissioners took the unusual
step of assigning two offices (treasurer
and secretary) to one commissioner (Jim
Tucker), rather than allowing Ms.
Brennan to hold one of these offices.
At their last meeting on June 18, 2014,
Ms. Brennan was again denied an office,
with William Holsinger being selected
for the dual office of treasurer and secre-
tary, even though he has served on the
commission for less time than Ms.
Brennan and failed in his two attempts to
be elected on to the commission (he was
twice appointed to the commission in
May 2012 and June 2013 when elected
commissioners passed away).
These actions by the commission are
emblematic of the dysfunction that
plagues commission proceedings. Ms.
Brennan does not receive the respect she
deserves as a popularly elected, conscien-
tious public servant. Fishermen and com-
munity members receive similar disdain.
This old boys club is running the
Harbor District into the ground.
The upcoming election, this November,
is an opportunity to break up this old
boys club, improve the level of discourse
in commission meetings, and get the
Harbor District on the right track.

A vacation for Speier
Editor,
The IRS commissioner recently testi-
fied in Congress about the destruction of
email evidence involving the targeting
of Americans. Many members on the
committee were irate at the commission-
ers history of providing incomplete
responses to their questions. When it was
our Rep. Jackie Speiers turn, though,
instead of trying to learn how this vital
evidence was kept from the committee,
she instead lavished praise upon the com-
missioner and then scolded many of her
colleagues! In fact, she threatened to
leave and not return!
She is very entertaining, indeed! But
she does raises a very good point.
Considering that she has already failed
to vote 19 times this year, why dont we
let Ms. Speier stay home and elect a rep-
resentative who wants to serve, seek the
truth and then actually vote?

Editorial
A place at the
county table
By Robert Bernardo
O
n June 3, 2014, San Mateo County
made history when it became the
rst California county to create a
purely lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
and queer (LGBTQ) commission.
Most cities and coun-
ties usually fold their
LGBTQ commission
into a broader Human
Rights Commission.
However, our county
leaders decided to specif-
ically recognize the sex-
ual minority community,
an often-underrepresent-
ed group.
As someone who came out as a gay man
to his parents at age 16 during the mid-
1980s, I can relate to the thousands of
LGBTQ youth who struggle against peer
and family pressures to conform to a large-
ly heterosexist society. I recall the wide-
spread anti-gay bullying during my ele-
mentary and high school years. I had
friends who were physically assaulted in
college and were hospitalized just for
being openly gay. I heard numerous stories
of teenagers being disowned by their par-
ents for being gay, some of them even end-
ing up on the streets homeless.
According to national statistics, 90 per-
cent of LGBTQ youth have been verbally
bullied because of their sexual orientation,
with over half being cyberbullied. In a
related and more sobering statistic,
approximately 30 percent of LGBTQ youth
have attempted suicide.
However, this type of harassment is not
limited to youth. Many LGBTQ seniors in
our local community feel forced back into
the closet because of harassment in nurs-
ing homes and elder care facilities. This
must stop, and one way to stop it is by cre-
ating an environment of acceptance and
equality.
Acountywide LGBTQ commission will
have the ability to recommend policies and
legislation; work to ensure that county res-
idents are treated fairly and equitably; and
help educate the broader community about
issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer people.
I thank the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors for their bold and visionary
action to create an LGBTQ Commission
which now takes its place alongside other
county boards and commissions such as the
Commission on the Status of Women and
Commission on Aging.
I also want to thank the small group of
tireless individuals, known as the LGBT
Commission Working Group, for working
behind-the-scenes to build broad communi-
ty support that led to the creation of this
historic LGBTQ commission.
After the Board of Supervisors establish-
es the selection criteria and process, it will
be up to county residents to apply.
As one of only a few openly-gay elected
ofcials in our county, I strongly encour-
age our LGBT leaders to apply for these
positions because serving on this commis-
sion will only make our collective voices
stronger.
We have a duty to take our rightful place
at the county table where equality is being
served.
Robert Bernardo is the president of the San
Mateo County Harbor District Board of
Commissioners and a longtime resident of
South San Francisco. He is also Filipino-
American, openly-gay and Jewish.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK The U.S. stock mar-
ket inched modestly higher
Wednesday, recovering more than half
of what it lost the day before, as
investors were able to set aside two
disappointing economic reports.
CBS and other broadcasters rose
after the Supreme Court ruled in favor
of them over a startup Internet compa-
ny in a closely watched copyright
case. Monsanto rose after the agricul-
tural company announced a big stock
buyback and reported earnings that
beat analysts estimates.
The trend for this market is still, for
the time being, up, said Anastasia
Amoroso, a global market strategist
with J.P. Morgan Funds.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 9.55 points, or 0.5 percent, to
1,959.53. The index fell roughly 13
points the day before. The Nasdaq
composite rose 29.40 points, or 0.7
percent, to 4,379.76 and the Dow
Jones industrial average rose 49.38
points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,867.51.
Consumer discretionary stocks were
among the biggest advancers, a sector
that includes broadcasters and other
media companies. The U.S. Supreme
Court ruled Aereo would have to pay
broadcast companies when it takes tel-
evision programs from the airwaves
and allows subscribers to watch them
on smartphones and other portable
devices.
It was a major win for the broadcast
industry, which had argued that Aereo
should have to pay for programming
the same way cable and satellite
providers have to.
CBS rose $3.64, or 6 percent, to
$62.48 and Walt Disney, which owns
ABC, rose $1.22, or 1.5 percent, to
$83.90. TV station owners also rose.
Sinclair Broadcasting jumped $4.56,
or 16 percent, to $33.80.
Investors werent fazed by two nega-
tive economic reports released
Wednesday.
In a revised estimate, the Commerce
Department said the U.S. economy
shrank at annual rate of 2.9 percent in
the rst three months of the year. Two-
thirds of the downward revision reect-
ed a decline in health care spending.
The Commerce Department also said
orders for long-lasting goods sank 1
percent in May as demand for military
equipment fell sharply.
GDP for the rst quarter was not
bad, it was horrible, said Doug Cote
and Karyn Cavanaugh of Voya
Investment Management, in a note to
investors.
Investors said the GDP report didnt
tell them anything they already knew.
Many have already attributed weakness
in the U.S. during the first three
months of the year to unusually harsh
winter weather.
We need to be looking toward earn-
ings season next month, not at a
report from three months ago,
JPMorgans Amoroso said.
Government bond prices rose. The
yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury
note, which falls when prices rise,
dropped to 2.56 percent from 2.58 per-
cent late Tuesday.
Pioneer Natural Resources and
Enterprise Products rose after The Wall
Street Journal reported that the U.S.
government was loosening a long-
standing ban by letting those two
companies sell a certain kind of unre-
fined American oil internationally.
The newspaper said the Obama admin-
istration would allow foreign buyers
to purchase a type of ultralight oil
known as condensate, which can be
turned into gasoline, jet fuel and
diesel.
Pioneer rose $11.42, or 5 percent, to
$233.07 and Enterprise rose $1.03, or
1.4 percent, to $77.14.
Stocks edge higher despite economic data
We need to be looking toward earnings season
next month, not at a report from three months ago.

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The U.S. economy
shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent
in the January-March quarter as a harsh
winter contributed to the biggest contrac-
tion since the depths of the recession five
years ago. But the setback is widely
thought to be temporary, with growth
rebounding solidly since spring.
The first-quarter contraction reported
Wednesday by the government was even
more severe than the 1 percent annual
decline it had estimated a month ago.
Much of the downward revision reflected
an unexpectedly sharp drop in health care
spending. Another factor was a bigger
trade deficit than earlier estimated.
Though such a sharp economic decline
would typically stoke fears of another
recession, analysts see it as a short-lived
result of winter storms that shut factories,
disrupted shipping and kept Americans
away from shopping malls and auto dealer-
ships. Many expect growth to reach a
robust annual rate of 3.5 percent or better
this quarter.
Despite the awful start to the year, the
U.S. economy is nowhere close to a reces-
sion, said Sal Guatieri, senior economist
at BMO Capital Markets.
Guatieri thinks growth is rebounding to
a 3.8 percent annual rate in the current
quarter and will average a solid 3 percent
rate in the second half of the year.
Other analysts noted that several likely
temporary factors slowed the economy
last quarter from businesses reducing
their pace of restocking to companies par-
ing their purchases of equipment. Also, a
wider trade deficit cut 1.5 percentage
points from growth. Housing construc-
tion slumped.
Those negative forces will likely turn
positive this quarter, analysts said. The
economy is getting a lift from an improv-
ing job market, which has added more than
200,000 jobs each month over the past
four months.
We had one-time hits from the weather,
business inventories and trade in the first
quarter, said Gus Faucher, senior econo-
mist at PNC Financial. Things are look-
ing much better for the rest of this year.
Job gains are allowing households to
increase their spending, with higher stock
prices and home values also helping.
Stock investors appeared unfazed by the
plunge in economic activity last quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO Some 1 billion
people are now using Android devices,
Google said as the company kicked off
its two-day developer conference
Wednesday in San Francisco.
But the online search leaders effort to
broaden its focus beyond smartphones
and tablets was on full display as the
company unveiled far-reaching plans to
push further into the living room, the
family car and the TVset.
As part of a nearly three-hour opening
presentation, Google gave more details
about Android Wear, a version of the
operating system customized for wear-
able gadgets such as smartwatches. The
company also introduced Android Auto,
which has been tailored to work with
cars. Android TV, meanwhile, is opti-
mized for TV-watching, aided by a rec-
ommendation system and voice search-
es for things like Breaking Bad or
Oscar-nominated movies from 2002.
About 6,000 developers, bloggers
and journalists ocked to the event.
Following Googles recent revelation
that showed that just 30 percent of its
employees are women, the company
touted that the number of women attend-
ing its conference grew to 20 percent
this year from 8 percent a year earlier.
We were joking, that were at a tech
conference and there is a line to the
bathroom, said developer Tricia
Barton, referring to a common occur-
rence at tech events long lines to the
mens bathrooms while the womens
facilities sit mostly empty. Barton was
one of some 1,000 female I/O attendees
that Google invited to networking din-
ners the night before the conference, at
restaurants around San Francisco.

PORTLAND, Ore. A Google executive who had
planned to tear down his historic Portland house has
instead opted to sell it after outraged
neighbors complained and 3,000 peo-
ple signed an online petition urging
him to preserve the 19th century home.
Earlier this year, Kevin Rose, a gen-
eral partner for Google Ventures, paid
$1.3 million for a house built in 1892.
He initially planned to renovate the old
place. When that proved costly, he
decided to tear it down and build a
5,900-square-foot home.
On Tuesday, Rose and his wife, Darya, agreed to sell the
home for $1.375 million. The couple said in a statement
that they did not want an adversarial relationship with
their neighbors and new city friends.
Over the last few days weve watched as comments and
emotions ared on both sides of the issue, the statement
said. Some folks arguing for homeowner rights, others
for the preservation of old homes. Weve read all of this,
along with your emails, and took it all to heart.
The primary goal of the neighbors was to preserve the
home that has been the site of many gatherings, including
annual Easter egg hunts, said Will Aitchison, an attorney
who lives in the neighborhood and represented oppo-
nents.

Lincecum adds second no-no to resume
By Josh Dubow
SAN FRANCISCO Tim Lincecums days
of dominance may be in the past. That doesnt
mean he cant dial up ashes of the Freak he
once was especially against the San Diego
Padres.
Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter
against the Padres in less than a year, allowing
only one runner Wednesday and leading the
San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win.
Ive always been that guy who will kind of
go for the strikeout, Lincecum said. I think
my rst no-hitter I had 13, so I think I was
going for those a little bit more often.
Today I tried to be a little bit more efcient
and take what they were going to give me.
They were giving me a lot of groundballs and a
lot of pop ies, so I was just going to try to
keep attacking the way that I was, he said.
Lincecum totally shut down the weakest-hit-
ting team in the majors, striking out six and
walking one in a 113-pitch outing 35 fewer
than he needed last July 13 against the Padres
in his rst no-hitter.
Lincecum retired the nal 23 batters after
walking Chase Headley in the second inning,
relying much more on his off-speed stuff than
his fastball. Though the Padres hit a few balls
hard, San Francisco elders didnt need to
make any exceptional plays to preserve
Lincecums gem.
The right-hander with two NL Cy Young
Awards became just the second pitcher in major
league history to twice no-hit the same team.
Hall of Famer Addie Joss did it for Cleveland
against the Chicago White Sox with a perfect
game in 1908 and a no-hitter in 1910.
Its hard enough to do one, Giants manag-
er Bruce Bochy said. To do two, that puts you
in a little different class. I couldnt be happi-
er.
Lincecum (6-5) threw the 16th no-hitter in
Giants team history. Just one other pitcher
has thrown two Christy Mathewson for the
New York Giants more than 100 years ago.

Condence is a funny thing. You cant really pinpoint when you nd it. It doesnt
suddenly appear at a certain age or because of any achievement. Condence tends to
come on gradually and you never really realize when you have it.
Capuchinos Taylor Brazil apparently found her condence this year. Not that it was
lacking, but a boost of condence helped Brazil to achieve the San Mateo Daily Journals

Brazil, a senior, wrapped up one of the most prolic careers for Capuchino. She was a four-
year varsity volleyball player, four-year varsity basketball player and played three years of
varsity softball.
[Brazil] is a really good athlete. This year, I think she had a breakout year, said Capuchino

S
o, are you still a soccer hater? Three weeks in, the
World Cup the event that brings together the
soccer world every four years is in full swing and
longtime acionados know this one is arguably the best in
several decades.
Those who refuse to climb aboard the
soccer train, however, continue to
cling to their reasons: too boring and
not enough scoring.
If you havent been paying atten-
tion, this edition of the World Cup
has completely blown both those
arguments out of the water. The tour-
nament has been through-the-roof
exciting and scoring is up.
There are three reasons for the
building excitement. One, most of the
world stars have stepped up their play.
Lionel Messi, the Barcelona superstar, is having a break-
out World Cup for Argentina, having scored four times,
including a pair in a 3-2 win over Nigeria Wednesday.
Dutch stars Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben have been
spectacular, while Frances Karim Benzema has rejoined
the discussion of best players in the world.
Two, has been the emergence of teams other than the old
guard. Out are England, Italy and Spain. In are the likes of
Costa Rica, Greece and Belgium. Everyone loves the
underdog and underdogs have played better than the big
dogs in several instances.
Third has been the play of the United States. Granted,
not many experts predicted the U.S. to do much in what is
regarded as the group of death, which, along with the
Americans features Germany, Ghana and Portugal.
But going back to point No. 2 and the underdog aspect,
many Americans have embraced the us-against-the-world
mentality the U.S. has employed for this World Cup. They
were steeled in their resolve when U.S. coach Jurgen
Klinsmann, in a stroke of psychological brilliance,
claimed the U.S. had no chance of winning the World Cup.
If there is one thing Americans love is being told they
cant do something.
Today, the U.S. takes its last shot at moving into the
quarternals when it takes on Germany. Atie or win and
the Americans are in. Aloss? Well, there are all kinds of
scenarios that can occur if that happens, but even a loss
would not be the end of the world for the Americans.
Even if the U.S. fails to advance, that wont take away
from the fact that, in the very least, the 2014 World Cup
has captured the imagination of the world..
If you still dont like soccer, thats on you, not the
game. Which is ne.

San Joses rotation going local
With Joe Biagini taking the mound for
the San Jose Giants Wednesday night, he
became the third consecutive starting
pitcher with local ties to take the ball for
San Franciscos High-Aafliate.
Tuesday, former University of San
Francisco left-hander Matt Lujan earned
the win in his rst start after being pro-
moted from Low-A Augusta. Monday,
southpaw Joe Kurrasch, who pitched at
Cal in 2010 before transferring to Penn
State, worked eight solid innings but was
outdueled by Modestos Ryan Carpenter and Jon Keck in a 2-
0 loss to the Nuts.
Lujan soldiered through ve innings to tab the victory, as
San Joses lineup rallied for 15 runs in support of the south-
paw. Stanford alum Brian Ragira was 3 for 4 with an RBI,
Chuckie Jones hit his rst home run of the season and Blake
Miller added two RBIs. Miller entered into play Wednesday
ranking fth in the California League with 55 RBIs.
Since going undrafted out of USF in 2011, Lujan has been
nothing short of outstanding. He was promoted after starting
the year going 6-2 with a 2.19 ERAthrough 12 appearances
at Augusta. Over three minor-league seasons, the Stockton
native currently boasts an 18-3 career record.
Monday, Kurrasch took the hard-luck loss after turning in
his longest outing of the season. The lefty went eight
innings, allowing two runs on six hits, but the Giants ran
into a buzz saw in Carpenter. The former Gonzaga ace red
seven innings to combine with Keck on a three-hit shutout.
Renda with 10-game hitting streak
With a 2-for-5 showing against Myrtle
Beach Wednesday, Potomac Nationals sec-
ond baseball Tony Renda extended his cur-
rent hitting streak to 10 games.
The former Serra star has gone 15 for 40
during the stretch, improving his season
average to .307. Also, the Washington
High-A afliate Nationals have posted an
8-2 record through those games.
Another former Serra star, pitcher
Richie Mirowski struck out both batters
he faced through two-thirds innings of work to earn his rst
hold of the year in Potomacs 7-4 victory. Mirowski was
recently assigned to Potomac after spending six weeks on
the disabled list. The right-hander began last season at
Potomac, posting an 8-3 record with a 1.50 ERA and six
saves through 32 relief appearances before being promoted
to Double-AHarrisburg.
Mirowski started the 2014 season at Double-A before
going on the disabled list May 8.

RECIFE, Brazil When Jermaine Jones
stands for the national anthems of his coun-
tries Thursday night, he will soak in the
moment.
Jones, like four American teammates and his
coach, will be familiar with both The Star-
Spangled Banner and the Deutschlandlied
before the United States
World Cup game against
Germany.
After playing three
games in 2008 for the
nation in which he grew
up, Jones switched alle-
giance to the U.S. two
years later.
When I hear the anthem
from the United States, I
will close my eyes and let
everything go through,
the tenacious midelder said.
And then comes the big game.
Four years of work by the U.S. come down to
90 or so minutes in the afternoon heat and pos-
sibly rain at Arena Pernambuco on the out-
skirts of a sprawling beach city known as the
Brazilian Venice. Having squandered the
chance to clinch advancement earlier this week
against Portugal by allowing a stoppage-time
goal in a 2-2 draw, the Americans might need at
least a tie against the three-time champions to
reach the knockout stage of consecutive World
Cup for the rst time.
The story lines are gripping:
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann facing the
nation he helped win the 1990 World Cup title
and coached to the 2006 seminals.
Germany coach Joachim Loew managing
against Klinsmann, his former boss.
Five German-American players with U.S.
servicemen fathers and German mothers going
up against a German squad lled with familiar
faces from the Bundesliga.
Fear by some the U.S. and Germany might
collude on a draw, which would advance both
nations while eliminating Portugal and Ghana.
Both sides insist that wont happen.
Thousands of American fans with red, white
and blue gear making the trek to the Southern
Hemisphere to cheer in person and millions
back home tuning into games at record levels.
The country is in a soccer fever and theyre
glued to the TVs when we play, midelder
Kyle Beckerman said Wednesday.
The Germans beat Portugal 4-0 and tied
Ghana 2-2, leaving them with four points and
a plus-four goal difference. The Americans,
who defeated Ghana 2-1, have four points and a
plus-one goal difference.
Ghana and Portugal, with one point each,
play simultaneously in Brasilia, knowing a tie
in either game would eliminate both of them.
U.S. Soccer Federation ofcials will have a
system to relay the score of the other match to
the bench.
To be able to keep that level of interest for
another four, ve, six and hopefully more days
would be great for the sport, USSF President
Sunil Gulati said. I think for the rst time in
our history recent history, Im not going to
talk about 1950 or before our players
believe theyre capable of beating anyone.
He rejects the notion the dual nationals are
any less American than those who came up
through the U.S. youth system.
When the U.S. and Germany met for the rst
time in the group stage of the 1998 Cup,
Klinsmann scored the second goal in a 2-0
win. The teams played four years later in the
quarternals, when Michael Ballacks 39th-
minute goal gave the Germans a 1-0 victory.
The Americans still complain Scottish referee
Hugh Dallas declined to call a penalty kick
when Gregg Berhalters 49th-minute shot hit
the left arm of defender Torsten Frings at the
goal line.
While the Germans have four off days
between matches, the U.S. has only three. And
teams are 0-4 after games in the steamy
Amazon rainforest capital of Manaus, where
the Americans played Sunday night.
Its the biggest game of all of our lives,
Beckerman said. Any fatigue in our legs will
be erased. Weve got to give it everything
weve got and more.
There is an outside chance the U.S. and
Portugal could tie for second with four points
and be even on all tiebreakers for instance,
if the Americans lose 3-0 and the Portuguese
win 2-0. In that case, a drawing of lots would
decide which team advances.
The teams that move on will have second-
round matchups with Belgium, Russia, South
Korea or Algeria. Gulati hopes for more, much
more, that will help boost the growing
American fan base.
Its pretty easy to get emotional about, he
said, wanting to see this day happen. Its not
The Day. That day is still to come. And that day
has got a trophy involved.

France clinches top spot
in Group E; Ecuador out
RIO DE JANEIRO France drew 0-0 with
10-man Ecuador to advance to the second
round of the World Cup on Wednesday, while
the South Americans will be going home
from the tournament.
In the other final Group E game,
Switzerland defeated 3-0 Honduras to nish
in second place and join France in the
knockout stages.
Ecuador played a man short at Rios
Maracana stadium when Antonio Valencia
was sent off on a straight red card in the 50th
minute for digging his studs into the leg of
French defender Lucas Digne.
France coach Didier Deschamps has made
six changes to start the match, knowing his
side was all but assured of advancing.
France came closest to scoring when
Antoine Griezmann hit the post in the 47th.
Argentina beats Nigeria
3-2 as both teams advance
PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil Argentina beat
Nigeria 3-2 in their last World Cup group
match on Wednesday, with Lionel Messi and
Ahmed Musa scoring two goals each before
Marcos Rojo kneed in the winner.
Argentina won Group F while Nigeria also
advanced despite the loss.
Messi scored in the third minute, slam-
ming in the rebound after Angel Di Marias
shot bounced off the post. Nigeria replied
within a minute as Musa cut in from the left
and beat Sergio Romero with a curling shot
toward the far post.
Messis perfectly hooked free kick
restored the lead for Argentina just before
halftime.
The second half started at the same furious
pace as the rst as Musa scored his second
and Rojo made it 3-2 from a corner within
the rst ve minutes.
Shaqiris hat trick puts
Swiss into 2nd round
MANAUS, Brazil Xherdan Shaqiri
scored all three goals Wednesday to put
Switzerland into the second round of the
World Cup with a 3-0 victory over
Honduras.
The Swiss will next face Lionel Messi and
Argentina on Tuesday in Sao Paulo.
Shaqiri scored his rst goal in the sixth
minute, dribbling into a crowd of defenders
and curling a shot into the net off the under-
side of the crossbar. In the 31st, he collect-
ed a pass from Josip Drmic after a defensive
error and easily beat Honduras goalkeeper
Noel Valladares.
Shaqiri completed his hat trick in the
71st. Drmic did well to beat Honduras
defender Victor Bernardez on the left and
pass to a charging Shaqiri, who one-timed
his shot past a diving Valladares.
Bosnia beats Iran 3-1 in Group F
SALVADOR, Brazil Bosnia-
Herzegovina ended Irans hopes of advanc-
ing to the knockout stages at the World Cup
with a 3-1 victory in Group F on Wednesday.
Edin Dzeko opened the scoring in the 23rd
minute with a low shot from 20 yards
(meters), deecting in off the post.
Miralem Pjanic made it 2-0 in the 53rd
with an angled shot from inside the box.
Reza Ghoochannejhad gave some hope to
the Iranians with a tap-in goal in the 81st,
but Avdija Vrsaljevic replied immediately
with his low shot from the edge of the area
to restore the two-goal buffer.
Iran needed a win to have any chance of
advancing. The Bosnians were already out
of contention at their rst World Cup fol-
lowing consecutive losses to Argentina and
Nigeria.

Brazil credits some of that to her position
with the leadership class at Capuchino,
helping plan school and community
events.
It got me out of my comfort zone, Brazil
said.
Volleyball
Success, as usual, is a big factor in gain-
ing condence. It started on the volleyball
court. While the Mustangs did not experi-
ence a lot of team success, Brazil was one of
those players coach Lynn Niemira could not
do without.
I couldnt take her off the court, Niemira
said. She was probably our best all-around
player.
Playing predominantly as an outside hit-
ter, Brazil never balked at moving to other
spots, doing whatever was best for the team
which, as a senior, was one of her calling
cards.
I would say she was more condent, a
better leader, Niemira said. She kind of
took on the role of senior leader. She was
just consistent. She was solid.
Basketball
Following a volleyball season in which
Brazil was named to the second-team All-
League Ocean team, Brazil stayed in the
gym and swapped volleyball for a basket-
ball. Again, she proved to be a leader on the
team, being named a team captain and scor-
ing 12.4 points per game and grabbing just
under six rebounds per contest. Both num-
bers were second-best for the Mustangs.
Mike Dozier took over the basketball
coaching reins for the Mustangs this season
and didnt know exactly what he had talent
wise. Brazil opened his eyes quickly, how-
ever.
We started to have open gym weeks
before the season started and she came in,
Dozier said. I was working out with her,
and at one point she hit, like, 14 jumpers in
row. I thought, We got something here.
Brazil took her burgeoning condence
into the season and helped lead the
Mustangs to one of their best seasons in
recent memory. Capuchino was in the run-
ning for the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division championship for the rst half of
the season, before stumbling down the
stretch and settling for a 6-6 league mark
still one of the best PALseasons in years for
the Mustangs.
That was still good enough to qualify
Capuchino for the Central Coast Section
playoffs, where the Mustangs garnered the
No. 11 seed in the Division III brackets and
a rst-round win over Live Oak.
We got a new coach and a few new play-
ers. It gave me a sense of change, Brazil
said. We got to CCS. It was so much fun.
Along the way, Brazil set a single-game
scoring record when she dropped 36 points
in a 95-18 win over San Lorenzo Valley-
Scotts Valley on Dec. 26. Brazil said she
doesnt remember a lot about that game,
other than the fact Dozier kept her in
despite having the game well in hand.
[Dozier] said just to stay in and just keep
scoring, Brazil said.
Making the achievement even greater was
how she accumulated all those points.
Brazil sees herself as a 3-point shooter, but
against San Lorenzo Valley, she went 0 for 3
from beyond the arc.
I think it was all on drives (to the bas-
ket), Brazil said. I had a lot of condence
that game.
Softball
After earning second-team All-League PAL
South honors in basketball, Brazil nally
got out of the gym and hit the softball eld,
but wasnt always a foregone conclusion
she would. Brazil said, having played soft-
ball since she was 9 years old, had thought
about quitting the sport when she was in
high school.
I wanted to quit softball for a really long
time, but my parents made me do it, Brazil
said. She said she rst thought about giving
up the sport before her sophomore year, but
never seriously considered it.
I think I secretly still liked it, Brazil
said.
Grammatico was certainly happy to see
Brazil show up for softball.
There was a rumor she wasnt going to
play, Grammatico said. When she did nal-
ly come out, She hit much better than in
the past. She hit for more power. She added
a lot to the team.
Brazil went on to hit .262 and tied for
third on the team with 11 RBIs, earning
Honorable Mention honors for the All-PAL
Bay Division squad.
Grammatico credits some of Brazils con-
dence this season to the fact he made her a
team captain.
I think Taylor was surprised she was a
captain. I wanted that for Taylor. I thought
that might bring her out of her shell a little
bit, Grammatico said. She was just differ-
ent this year.
In this day and age of high school athletes
moving toward specialization, Brazil is a
bit of a throwback when it comes to playing
three sports. Basketball and softball were
her loves growing up and she added volley-
ball when she decided she wanted to try for
her schools sports blanket an award
given to those athletes who play three dif-
ferent sports for all four years of high
school.
For a while, I was going to concentrate
just on basketball, but I really wanted to get
my high school blanket, Brazil said. I
dont like just sitting around. Ive always
played basketball and softball since third
grade. I gured I should play volleyball.
Sports always kept me well-rounded and
gave me something to do.
Not that sports denes Brazil. She said
she is still mulling over whether to play
basketball at Skyline College next year.
Besides, she knows her time as high-level
athlete is probably coming to a close.
You cant play sports forever, Brazil
said.
But when she did, there were few who did it
as well and as long as Brazil.

OMAHA, Neb. John Norwoods home
run in the top of the eighth inning gave
Vanderbilt the lead, and the Commodores
beat Virginia 3-2 on Wednesday night for
their rst national championship.
Norwood turned on Nick Howards 97 mph
fastball and sent it into the left eld bullpen
to break a 2-2 tie in the third and deciding
game of the College World Series nals.
It was Norwoods third homer of the year,
his rst since April 19, and Vanderbilts rst
since May 16. It also was only the third
home run in 16 CWS games and the 22nd in
72 games by the Commodores (51-21).
The Cavaliers (53-16) loaded the bases
with one out in the eighth when Adam
Ravenelle hit Kenny Towns. But Mike Papi
was forced out at home on a chopper to
Ravenelle, and Brandon Downes grounded
out.
The title, secured when Ravenelle struck
out Daniel Pinero, is Vanderbilts rst in a
mens sport. The schools only other title
came in womens bowling in 2007.
Hayden Stone (4-0) relieved Carson
Fulmer with one out in the sixth and allowed
two hits before turning the game over to
Ravenelle after Virginias rst two batters
reached in the eighth. Ravenelle earned his
third save of the CWS.
Howard (2-2) came on in the eighth after
Artie Lewicki had pitched six innings of
four-hit relief.
Virginia broke through against Fulmer to
tie it 2-2 in the sixth when Kenny Towns
bases-loaded grounder hit shortstop Vince
Condes glove and bounced off for an error.
Vanderbilt led 1-0 in the first after
Virginia catcher Robbie Coman sailed a
throw into center eld trying to catch Bryan
Reynolds stealing. Dansby Swanson, who
was going to third on the double steal, con-
tinued home.
Another error in the sixth set up
Vanderbilts second run. Norwood grounded
to third for an ineld single and wound up on
second after Towns throw in the dirt
skipped past first baseman Mike Papi.
Norwood later came home on Condes deep
grounder to shortstop.
Vanderbilt went 2-2 in its only previous
CWS appearance, in 2011. Coach Tim
Corbin gured his 2013 team, which won
54 games with a veteran lineup, would have
had a better chance to make it Omaha. But
that team was swept in super regionals by
Louisville.
The Commodores went over 50 wins
again this year with four sophomores and
two freshmen in the everyday lineup.
Sophomore pitchers Fulmer and Walker
Buehler were strong complements to rst-
round draft pick Tyler Beede.
Vandy nished third in the SEC East and
went into the NCAA tournament off losses
in four of six games. The Commodores
regrouped, won three straight in regionals
and a three-game super regional against
Stanford.
Vandy beats Virginia 3-2 for first national title

In fact, Lincecum joined Sandy
Koufax, Randy Johnson and Roy
Halladay as the only pitchers with
two Cy Young awards and two no-
hitters.
Just to be in that company
allows me a chance to pat myself
on the back a little bit, he said.
Making the performance even
sweeter was the fact that Lincecum
even got two hits of his own,
becoming the first pitcher with
two hits in a no-hitter since Rick
Wise hit two homers for
Philadelphia against Cincinnati
on June 23, 1971.
Regardless of what they did, I
think its cool I got two hits any-
way because up to today I only had
one and a pretty poor batting aver-
age, Lincecum said. I got that
thing above .100 and I feel much
better about it.
But Lincecum will always be
known for his pitching. He arrived
as a shaggy-haired phenom nick-
named the Freak in 2007 for his
ability to generate tremendous
velocity from his slight frame.
He won NL Cy Young awards in
2008 and 09 and helped lead the
Giants to their rst World Series
title in San Francisco the follow-
ing season.
As age and wear and tear ate away
at his velocity, Lincecum was
forced to change what kind of
pitcher he is. It hasnt been an
easy transformation at times as he
posted a losing record the past two
seasons as his ERAhovered around
5.00.
He was even relegated to the
bullpen when the Giants won it all
again in 2012 but was brought
back with a $35 million, two-year
deal last offseason for moments
just like this.
I think its been a battle for him
at times to make that transforma-
tion to what he is now, Bochy
said. Sometimes less is more, and
thats what I think if anything,
hopefully he learned today.

Brandon Moss had a two-run
homer and the Oakland Athletics
jumped all over an ineffective
Zack Wheeler in an 8-5 win over
the New York Mets on Wednesday
night.
Coco Crisp homered and had
three hits as the AL West leaders
built an eight-run cushion for Brad
Mills, who took a shutout into the
seventh inning for his rst major
league victory in almost two
years.
Oakland rebounded from its
most lopsided loss of the season
to split the two-game interleague
series, boosting the best record in
baseball to 48-30.
Pinch-hitter Lucas Duda chased
Mills with a three-run homer in the
seventh. Chris Young connected
for a two-run shot in the eighth,
his third home run in two nights.
Curtis Granderson added three
hits for the Mets, who had won
three straight and ve of six. It
was their sixth three-game win-
ning streak of the season, but they
havent won four in a row since
July 7-10 last year.
Oakland obtained Mills (1-0)
from Milwaukee for cash last week
when fellow left-hander Drew
Pomeranz went on the disabled list
after breaking his right hand when
he punched a chair in frustration.
Mills, who had a 1.56 ERA for
Triple-A Nashville at the time of
the trade, lasted four innings in his
As debut last Friday against
Boston. He was backed by some
ne defense in this one and did not
walk a batter over 6 1-3 innings.
It was his rst big league win
since throwing ve innings for
the Los Angeles Angels in a 6-0
victory over Baltimore on July 8,
2012.
Sean Doolittle struck out all
three hitters in the ninth for his
11th save, extending his scoreless
streak to 25 1-3 innings. He has
retired 37 of his last 38 batters.
Wheeler (3-8) followed up the
best start of his brief career with
his worst.

SPORTS
baseball eld, even as he dealt with excruci-
ating pain and just a general feeling of ill-
ness. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic form of
Inammatory Bowel Disease. According to
the Crohns & Colitis Foundation of
America, ulcerative colitis is an abnormal
response by the bodys immune system in
which it mistakes food for a foreign or
invading substances and sends white blood
cells into the lining of the intestines to
ght the perceived foreign substance, where
they then produce chronic inammation and
ulcers.
But Hahn never let the disease dene or
limit him.
My doctors always told me it shouldnt
stop me from doing what I wanted to do,
Hahn said. Ive always taken to that men-
tality.
CCS basketball title
For the Dons basketball team, Hahn
played a major role in leading Aragon to its
rst CCS basketball title since 1994. Hahn,
a 6-3 guard/forward combo, was third on the
team in scoring at 13.2 points per game,
but he led the team in 3-pointers made,
draining 58 shots from long distance.
And he saved his best performances for
the end of the season. In the rst round of
CCS against Monterey, Hahn blocked 12
shots. In a 94-93 triple-overtime win over
Aptos in the seminals, Hahn scored 21
points including what turned out to be
the game winner and pulled down eight
rebounds. In the CCS title game against
Valley Christian, Hahn scored nine points,
pulled down six rebounds and blocked four
shots.
In addition to dealing with the pain asso-
ciated with his condition, Hahn was also
dealing with a left shoulder he separated dur-
ing the preseason in a game against Serra.
He dislocated his shoulder on a loose
ball. As his arm is hanging there, he n-
ished the play on a layup with his other
hand. We called timeout and he went to the
emergency room, said Aragon basketball
coach Sam Manu. That was typical of
Kevin, just how tough he was. He would
give everything for his team.
After earning second-team All-League
South Division honors in basketball, he
headed out to the baseball eld as his health
continued to deteriorate.
Baseball and illness
He started the season as a two-way player,
taking over the shortstop duties when he
wasnt pitching. He batted .310 in 18
games before he just could not eld or bat
any more because of the colitis.
He never did let it affect his pitching,
however. He made eight appearances on the
mound, recording a 3-0 record in 40 innings
pitched. He posted a 1.75 ERA with two
complete games and two shutouts, with a 5-
to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
In the PAL playoff opener against
Burlingame, Hahn pitched a complete-game
shutout.
He just had command of everything he
throws, Souza said. Knowing if you put
him on the hill, hell keep you in the game.
Hes a true ace with a 82 mph fastball, deuce
(curveball) and changeup. He just knows
what hes doing.
Again during baseball, Hahn would not let
his condition dene him as an athlete, as he
was named to the rst team, All-League
Ocean Division team. Twice during the sea-
son, he went straight from the hospital to
the eld to make a start once against El
Camino and again against Hillsdale in the
nal weeks of the season as the Dons were
battling for a CCS berth.
I was in the hospital the week leading up
to [the second Hillsdale game], Hahn said.
I got out about two or three hours before
the game. I was making sure I was getting
the ball. There was no way I was going to
miss my nal start against Hillsdale, our
rival.
While in the hospital, Hahn had a needle
in his arm to give him uids, medicine and
nutrients. He made sure the hospital staff
put the needle in his left non-pitching
arm.
I knew we couldnt beat them without
Kevin on the mound. If Kevin Hahn didnt
show up, we were in trouble, Souza said.
We were talking at practice the night
before the Hillsdale game and talking about
what was plan B. Kevin said wed better not
scratch him.
He got into the locker room about 10
(minutes) after 3 (p.m. for a 4 p.m. start). He
would have killed me (if I kept him out). I
would have been shunned. It was Don
(Hahn, Kevins dad and Souzas assistant
coach) who always said we needed to have a
plan B. But every time, the kid would come
walking through the locker room door. He
was always there.
Hahn went out and threw six innings
against the Knights, allowing three runs on
ve hits with six strikeouts in a 7-3 Aragon
victory.
Competitive drive denes Hahn
It is Hahns competitive drive that has
enabled him to overcome his disease, which
was rst diagnosed when he was 12 years
old. But he doesnt do it to be a badass or to
seek attention. In fact, there were only a few
close friends who knew what he was going
through. His whole intention was to help
his team. Toward the end of basketball sea-
son and most of the baseball season, Hahn
was limited in practice. But come game
time, Hahn was there to help his teammates.
Kevin will never tell you how bad it is.
He just keeps it from people. If you ask him,
Are you OK? The answer always is, Im
OK. He would just play, Manu said. He
knew if he had surgery, hed be gone and we
would miss him. He didnt want to do that to
the team. Hes such an important player and
he knows it and he wouldnt do that for fear
of harming the teams success.
Said Hahn: I enjoy winning. Im going to
do everything I can to win.
After the baseball season, Hahn was back
in the hospital and got out so he could walk
in his graduation ceremony. Last Saturday,
he pitched for Souzas San Mateo Palomino
White Sox summer team before going under
the knife this past Monday.
He was like, I think I can throw, Souza
recounted. I was like, I dont know. He
was like, Look man, I dont know if [the
doctors are] going to give me a release (to
pitch for the rest of the summer).
Hahn went out and threw yet another com-
plete-game shutout.
For Hahn, it was just another opportunity
to compete, knowing hes probably going
have to shut it down for the rest of the year.
Im trying to get back out there as quick
as I can, Hahn said. With everything that
was happening at the end of the year, I
might not be able to go. This could be the
last chance I have (to pitch this summer). I
had to go out and make the most of it. I did-
nt want my last memory of baseball be of
me sitting on the bench (during the Dons 6-
5, 10-inning loss to Menlo-Atherton in the
PAL playoffs).
Hahn is facing another surgery at the end
of the year which should help him return to
living a normal life. But to Hahn, sports is
part of his life and that second surgery
should enable him to resume playing at
some level.
Ive been playing sports since I could
crawl. I cant just give up sports, Hahn
said.
Once able to, Hahn said he plans to par-
ticipate in intramural sports at University
of Arizona and he should have one year of
eligibility left to play baseball next sum-
mer.
Souza wouldnt be surprised to see Hahn
on the mound again this summer.
Im calling it 50-50 this kid makes a
start with a (colostomy) bag under his jer-
sey, Souza said. Kevins main concern is
getting his doctors release. Whatever
[Kevin] wants to do, as long as its legal,
well do it.
Hes a baller.

Wave after wave of scent has filled
the air since my garden awakened in
spring. Most prominent have been
the aromas from daffodil blossoms,
plum, flowering currant, and now
dames rocket, pinks and roses.
Of course, its not for us that flow-
ers waft those sometimes delectable
aromas. Evolutionarily speaking, we
dont return the favor with anything
more than the carbon dioxide that we
and all other animals breathe
out, and that plants use for photosyn-
thesis.
Flowers release their aromas to
attract pollinators. As such, floral
aromas might mimic countless other
kinds of aromas, depending on just
what creature a particular flower is
trying to attract.
Some of those floral aromas are
actually unpleasant to us. Skunk cab-
bage (smelly and inedible) is a good
example, but there are worse or
better examples. The arum lily of
South Africa, for example: From its
spathe, a spike-like inflorescence of
many small flowers rising up from
what looks like an upended purple
skirt, wafts the smell of rotting
flesh. This aroma is perfect for
attracting the carrion beetles that
pollinate this plant. Heat generated
inside the inflorescence heightens
the morbid effect and helps pump the
aroma out into the atmosphere.
But on to more pleasant aromas
for instance, flowers that mimic
pheromones, the scents that female
animals give off to signal their readi-
ness to mate. Of course, those ersatz
pheromones coming from flowers are
directed at insects, because they are
the ones flowers want to attract to
perform pollination.
FLORAL DECEPTION
More than mere scent may be need-
ed to keep an insect on a flower. The
mirror orchid, for example, deceives
the male bees that pollinate it by not
only smelling like receptive female
bees, but also by looking like them.
After one or two flowers, any smart
bee is going to realize that hes not
dealing with a real female and give up
trying. So to keep up the deception,
each mirror orchid plant smells
slightly different; it takes a half
dozen or so before a bee catches on,
and by then the flowers have gotten
what they wanted.
Even more intricate in its decep-
tion is the bucket orchid of Central
America, which splays out little
buckets filled with a quarter-inch of
perfumed liquid. Each of the 20 or so
species of this plant has a slightly
different perfume although the dif-
ferences are undetectable to us
according to the species of iridescent
bee it means to attract. In the flurry
of activity around a bucket, an occa-
sional bee falls in. As the bee
squeezes out through a narrow tube, it
incidentally pollinates the orchid
flower.
AROMAS THAT PLEASE HUMANS
What makes a scent pleasing to
humans? Perhaps, as with bees, some
aromas conjure up pleasant primeval
associations. At any rate, we like
them enough to put great effort into
capturing and bottling them.
Whats behind different floral scents
Flowers release their aromas to attract pollinators. As such, oral aromas might mimic countless other
kinds of aromas, depending on just what creature a particular ower is trying to attract.

The first essential oil, attar of rose, was
bottled by the Arabian physician Avicenna
about 1,000 years ago. Two hundred years
later, Eleanor of Aquitaine had 2,500
pounds of violets crushed to make 1 pound
of violet attar.
Humans soon learned to preserve a scent
better by combining it with a fixative.
Fixatives originally were musk extracted
from the genital area of deer and ambergris
from sperm whales, but now synthetics are
also used.
As an alternative to the elaborate extrac-
tion and fixing of floral aromas, consider
planting a rose outside your back door,
then stepping outside and putting your
nose to it. Even better, plant a spectrum of
scented blossoms for sensory thrills from
late winter to late fall.

LOS ANGELES The Shih Tzu is a whirl
of fur on a course studded with obstacles,
flying through tunnels, leaping over bars,
scrambling up bridges and zigzagging
through poles as its owner tears alongside,
calling out commands and flashing hand
signals. At the finish line, there are hugs,
treats and lots of slobber.
Linda Harper of San Diego and her Shih
Tzu named Fame spend every weekend on
the road competing in agility races, the
fastest growing dog sport in the United
States that is most popular with older pet
owners. Harper, 67, says the whirlwind
contests help her and her dogs stay young
and fit.
Harper has eight minutes to memorize
the 18 to 20 obstacles before the clock
starts ticking. Thats far longer than Fame
gets to scramble through it the standard
time for a dog to finish a course is 50 sec-
onds.
This isnt a walk in the park its a
heart-pounding, high-flying sprint.
Owners must guide their dogs through the
obstacles in a particular order, and do it as
quick as they can. There are penalties if a
dog walks on top of a tunnel, enters the
wrong end first or knocks down a bar.
Veterinarians say the exercise and cama-
raderie are benecial for dogs, and the more
popular the sport, the safer the equipment.
The newest gear is lightweight, breaks
away if a dog hits it and has no sharp cor-
ners. And pooches are never asked to jump
higher than their legs will allow.
Any dog that enjoys exercise and work-
ing with their owner can excel. If the dog
seems to enjoy the sport and the owner is
having fun, it is a good thing, said Dr.
Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M
Universitys College of Veterinary
Medicine and executive director of the
American College of Veterinary
Behaviorists.
When handlers describe the joys of agili-
t y, they talk about the euphoria of a perfect
run, being in sync with their dogs, making
friends at competitions and getting to
travel.
Gayle Lape, 71, of Catonsville,
Maryland, called competing with her
Pembroke corgis, Phoenix and Ruddy, a
passion, an obsession. She says shes
so happy I am still able to do this. I am
enjoying the ride and the run.
As Lape and her dogs have aged, they
have changed the way they work. She
sometimes teaches her dogs to ignore her
while she takes shortcuts.
The American Kennel Club surveyed com-
petitors last year, and 50 percent said they
were over 51 years old. Of those, about 20
percent said they were over 60. To attract
young people to the sport, entry fees are
sometimes waived for handlers under 18.
The club is the largest of nine U.S.
groups sponsoring agility trials. Purina
Pro Plans Incredible Dog Challenge tele-
vises many of events and helps introduce
newcomers to the sport.
The number of agility participants has
grown every year since it was adopted by
the American Kennel Club in 1994, and its
up 48 percent in the last five years, said
Carrie DeYoung, the clubs director of
agility. To a lesser extent, there has been
growth in other dog sports, too, including
dock diving, where dogs jump for height or
distance into water; Frisbee, both distance
and freestyle catching; and herding.
Lape and Harper enjoy winning but say
their dogs only care about pleasing them.
It is very unlikely that they (dogs) care
about winning, said Beaver, the veterinar-
ian. Owners may think they are working
harder in competition, but it is actually the
owner who is working harder and the dog is
responding to the owners cues.

Have you ever heard the term succes-
sion in relation to gardening? Just like
kingdoms and corporations, your garden
needs a succession plan that is, when the
brilliant plants currently reigning in your
garden begin to wither and fade, you need to
have some heirs lined up to wear the crown
for the next phase of the growing season.
Too often, gardeners fail to plan for suc-
cession in their landscapes. They make the
mistake of shopping for plants only during
May or June and only buy plants that are in
bloom while they are shopping.
Consequently, in successive years, all the
shrubs, trees and perennials in their land-
scapes burst in to bloom at the same time.
For a few short weeks their gardens explode
with color, but the rest of the year are void
of interest.
If you are planting a new landscape or are
refurbishing an old one, consider the idea of
succession planting. Try to think of your
landscape from a year-round perspective,
and include something interesting to look
at during every season, not just spring.
As a friend of mine used to say, its easy to
have a good looking yard in June. Whose
garden doesnt look good in June? The trick
is to have a good-looking garden in August
or October.
The idea behind succession planting is to
browse your local garden center every few
weeks from spring through fall. Like cloth-
ing stores, garden centers change their
assortments seasonally, highlighting what
looks best at the moment.
Visiting a garden center every few weeks
will allow you the opportunity to see a vari-
ety of plant material you might not other-
wise have considered for your landscape.
While browsing, try not to focus solely
on purchasing owering plants. Consider
including plants that produce attractive
fruits or berries into your scheme.
For example, several types of viburnum
shrubs have clusters of owers in the spring
but really put on a show when those ower
clusters produce copious amounts of black,
red, blue or yellow fruits later in the fall.
Plants with interesting leaf color or
shape should be considered too. Trees like
redbud Forest Pansy have blood-red, heart-
shaped leaves that provide a pop of color all
season long. Compare that to a owering
tree whose bloom period may last only a
week or two.
In my garden I grow a red-leafed catalpa.
Every spring I cut the previous seasons
growth back to a central trunk about 3 feet
above ground level. In the spring the tree
sprouts vigorous new shoots with large,
dark purple leaves. By July the shoots can
reach close to 12 to 15 feet. Like the
Redbud, it provides visual interest without
the help of owers.
I use the same technique on my silver wil-
low (Salix alba). This beautiful tree, with its
elliptical leaves, may be too large for some
suburban gardens, but an annual pruning
back to a central trunk keeps it under con-
trol. The trees silvery color is a standout in
the garden.
Succession planting doesnt mean ruling
out all owering plants, it simply means
having something of interest in your land-
scape at any given time. In addition to your
spring-blooming shrubs and trees, consider
planting a few that bloom later in the sea-
son when the rest of your landscape has n-
ished blooming.
The white-flowered Hibiscus syriacus
Diana, a shrub, blooms in August, while
Heptacodium miconioides, a small tree or
large shrub, depending on how it is pruned,
blooms even later in September.
A good succession plan requires care and
study (and a little bit of advice from an
expert certainly helps), but the reward is an
interesting looking landscape all season
long.
Succession plan cures flash-in-the-pan landscape
Hibiscus syriacus, also known as Rose of Sharon, is a owering bush known for prodigious
blooming in late summer and early fall.

money to the charters that might not
have better programs than that
already exist in the district. Still, the
board voted unanimously for condi-
tional approval of the charters to run
through the 2019-20 school year
Wednesday night, as many saw the
decision to approve the charters as a
matter of following state law since
the board cannot approve or deny a
charter based on its philosophical
belief about charter schools or
whether the charter school will nega-
tively affect funding.
The decision was very difficult,
board members said at the meeting.
The district went back and forth on
what was thought to be the right
thing to do, said Trustee Shelly
Masur.
Ive been on the board for nine
years and have made a lot of difficult
decisions, but this one is the hard-
est, she said. I dont believe in pri-
vatizing public education, but I do
believe in listening to families,
learning and following the law is my
responsibility as a school board
member. I prefer to start off a rela-
tionship like this on a positive note
on something I would never choose
and worked really hard to keep from
happening.
Board President Maria Diaz-Slocum
said as a union member and with
teachers in her family not happy with
her decision to vote yes for the char-
ters, she still had to vote yes as
school boards can only deny a charter
petition if it can demonstrate in writ-
ing that the charter school presents
an unsound educational program.
Additional grounds for denial include
that the petitioners are demonstrably
unlikely to successfully implement
the program set forth in the petition;
the petition does not contain the
required number of signatures; the
petition does not contain certain
affirmations required by the education
code section; or the petition fails to
set out reasonably comprehensive
descriptions of what are referred to as
the 16 elements of a charter peti-
tion set forth in the education code.
Although the district doesnt know
the full financial impact, it does know
that if per student funding is $10,000
in the 2019-20 school year, the loss
of 925 students to KIPP will cost the
district about $9.25 million per year,
and the loss of 650 students to
Rocketship will cost the district
approximately $6.5 million per year.
The law requires that district students
have top priority for admission to a
charter school approved by our dis-
trict, but students from other districts
are also permitted to enroll in charters
approved. It is possible that some
charter average daily attendance
(ADA) will be students from other dis-
tricts, which would reduce the total
loss of ADA from the district, accord-
ing to the district website.
What makes the decision difficult is
the sheer number of students that both
schools would be hosting and the
financial impact, said board Vice
President Dennis McBride.
The loss of revenue is monumen-
tal, he said. We will not know what
the financial impact is because we
dont know how many students are
coming from other districts. Im pret-
ty certain the county will approve the
charter and it does not seem prudent to
fight in case we cant win. Contact
legislators theyre the only ones
who can change the law. With the
charters, if you do not find it to be
what you thought it was, youre
always welcome to come back to the
schools.
District Superintendent Jan
Christensen recommendation was to
conditionally approve Rocketship.
I have to say while I definitely
support the concept of choice, there
is an unequal set of rules for charter
schools and other public schools,
Christensen said. It is a reality that
charter schools can offer things that
we simply cannot. Charter schools
dont have to comply with some of
the regulations we do. Unfortunately,
the district losing funding is not one
of the criteria we can use in making a
decision on charters. California
sets a very low bar for accepting char-
ter schools.
Meanwhile, Redwood City charter
supporters with children who attend
charters in San Jose noted that the
charters have improved their kids
academic performance. Some parents
started pushing for charter alterna-
tives after coming to the conclusion
that the districts offerings were not
sufficient. Rocketship board member
Marcus Cole noted the charter is not
interested in replacing district
schools, but in trying to provide the
district with an additional tool. A
Rocketship student, Kayla Gomez,
spoke in favor of the school.
I really like the way teachers help
you when youre struggling, she
said. I hope you will give students in
Redwood City the same opportunities
Ive had.
But others spoke out against the
charters and their potential effects on
the district, including the Redwood
City Teachers Association.
As a union, we have urged our dis-
trict for more than 10 years to no
avail to contact all parents at the
beginning of the year with a welcome
message, according to a statement
written by union president Bret Baird
Wednesday night. We are not sur-
prised that so many parents have
organized to have their voices heard.
Its a shame it had to come to this. Our
superintendent and school board
tonight acknowledged that they had
failed too many parents in our school
district by approving both charters.
Not a single school board member
lives east of El Camino, where too
many of our parents feel disenfran-
chised.
The crowd erupted in boos
Wednesday night when district staff
member Maria Stockton said the dis-
trict will have to blame parents who
dont understand how education
works.
I want to see the information
given that says Rocketship has
proven its success, she said. Its out
there that Rocketship is not a proven
success. With approval of this char-
ter, you are casting the future of this
district and education further into
financial follies. Lets hold tight
to the known and proven pathway for
success and continued success.
In addition to the loss of per student
funding, the district is required by law
to provide school space if requested in
accordance with a specific legal
process. The district may impose cer-
tain charges for use of the physical
space provided. While these amounts
are less than fair market rent, they do
offset some of the costs to the dis-
trict. Exact costs would have to be
determined. Rocketships petition
states that it does not intend to
request space from the district;
nonetheless, if requested, the district
would have to provide it. KIPP plans
to request space from the district.
The charters have until November
to submit requests for a district facili-
ty for the following school year. The
district would then conduct an analy-
sis of space options, and work with
the charter to identify an appropriate
space. Although the district is not
required to provide a specific facility
requested by a charter school, it must
provide space that is sufficient to
house the resident district students
who attend the charter in space that is
reasonably equivalent to the type of
space they would have in a regular dis-
trict program.
The district still needs to approve
the charters memorandum of under-
standings, which will come back to
the board in August.
