County sued for price of phone calls at jail


Inmate, attorneys allege the county is profiting from charging excessive rates
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Citing studies that inmates who


keep in touch with loved ones are
less likely to reoffend, a class
action lawsuit recently filed
against San Mateo County alleges
the jail charges too much to make
phone calls.

Attorneys representing husband


and wife Alfred Banks and Shirley
Lawrence-Banks say the county is
profiting from overcharging
inmates as well as their families to
use the phone and this is prompting similar lawsuits against five
Southern California counties.
Lawyers also plan to file similar
claims in Santa Clara as well as

Alameda counties.
The recent suit, filed in San
Mateo County Superior Court
Monday, notes federal officials
have opposed inmates being
charged excessive rates and the
California
Department
of
Corrections has stopped the practice in state prisons. Since the
state opted not to take commis-

sions or fees from prisoners making phone calls, the cost of a 15minute call has gone down nearly
61 percent, according to the lawsuit.
San Mateo County contracts
with a private telecommunications company to provide phone
services
at
the
Maguire
Correctional Facility where

inmates are housed either serving


terms or awaiting trials. County
officials contend they are in line
with current laws and the proceeds
generated from contracting with a
private company for phone services are spent on inmate services.
As part of its contract, the coun-

Sue Bullis finds solace in PG&E guilty verdict, but struggles remain

Sue Bullis said still she struggles to cope with the sight of a
PG&E truck, almost six years after
the utilitys pipeline explosion
killed three of her family members
and destroyed their San Bruno

But there is degree of solace to

affected in the same way.


We have treated both pools during
the night and the alkalinity levels have
already improved, Andrada said. We
expect the color to be back to blue very
shortly.
Maybe not, according to a U.S. pool
expert.
Once you get behind, it gets hard to
get back in front of it, said Jerry
Wallace, chairman of the California
Pool & Spa Association, a trade group.
According to FINA, the world governing body for aquatic sports, water
tanks ran out of some of the chemicals
used in the water treatment process,
causing the pH level to go outside the
usual range, leading to the discoloration. Andrada and FINA said there is
no risk to athletes competing in either
pool.
Just from TV and pictures on the
computer, it looks more like an algae
than alkaline problem turning the water
green, Wallace said by phone from
Sacramento, California.
Andrada said algae also is an issue.
The algae makes the water look
green. We kept the same level of maintenance as we did before, but we had far
more athletes, he said. We had more
dirt in the water and that generated more
algae.
Wallace said if theres a reaction with
iron in the water, the pool would turn a
translucent green. But a murky green
color, as seen in the diving pool, would
indicate an algae issue.

Officials with the Marine Mammal Center
Wednesday morning found a Rissos dolphin that died after being reported stranded
Tuesday in San Francisco Bay.
Just before noon, Marine Mammal Center
officials confirmed they found the dolphin
where it was reported stranded in San
Francisco Bay just south of San Francisco
International Airport.
Scientists are working to recover the carcass and tow it to a safe location so they can
perform a necropsy.
We are working closely with our partners
to move the animal to firmer ground so that
we can learn more about why this dolphin

Wagstaffe
said
Wednesday that his
office now has found
that Lorie Palmer owes
more than $160, 000
while Marlie Palmer
owes over $60,000.
Marlie Palmers attorLorie Palmer ney, James Stevens,
said an audit by the
states Victim Compensation Board turned
up more losses than was initially revealed
in the district attorneys investigation.
He said his office will continue to discuss
the matter with prosecutors to try and come
up with a solution that everyone thinks is
fair. Otherwise, a full restitution hearing

will be held in the coming months.


The sisters pleaded no
contest to misappropriation of public money and
grand theft in June. For
over two years, they
were on a referral list to
provide therapy for vicMarlie Palmer tims of violent crime.
They both submitted
bills for sessions that never happened.
Before the charges came to light, Marlie
Palmer offered bilingual therapy for depression, stress, anxiety and coping with trauma and abuse, among other things.
My work includes helping people whose
lives are being taken over by worry, those

the dolphin during a daylong search.
Marine Mammal Center officials had
believed the dolphin died because it is not
designed to be on land.
Researcher Bill Keener with Golden Gate
Cetacean Research, a nonprofit devoted to
the study of Bay Area dolphins, porpoises
and whales, saw the dolphin several times
between Saturday and Tuesday circling in
shallow water before it got stranded about
400 meters from shore.
Rissos dolphins are seen so infrequently
inshore that rescuers with the Marin
County-based Marine Mammal Center have
responded to only 10 sightings of them in

Residents and visitors can identify
Rissos dolphins by their rounded heads,
curved dorsal fins near the middle of their
backs and dark gray coloring with white

The San Mateo County Sheriffs Office is

The Sheriffs Office said deputies responded to Round Table Pizza located at 1324 El

Upon arrival deputies discovered a window on the side of the building had been
smashed and the back door was open.
According to sheriffs officials, a K-9 unit

for suspects, however, none were found.
The incident is currently under investigation and anyone with information is asked

Officials: Faulty hot tub caused deadly 2015


By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A hot tubs faulty


wiring ignited one of Californias most
destructive wildfires, a blaze that killed four
people, sent four firefighters to the hospital
and destroyed more than 1,300 homes last
year, officials said Wednesday.
In addition, a fifth Northern Californian
who was last seen in his home before it was
destroyed by the fire is missing and presumed dead.
The California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection released a detailed, 500page report into the cause of the 120-squaremile wildfire that devastated a large portion
of rural Lake County and parts of Napa
County about 90 miles north of San
Francisco in September 2015.
The wiring of the hot tub on residential
property owned by John and Cindy Pinch in
Cobb, California, was not installed according to building code, investigators found.
The property owners are now being investigated for possible criminal charges and
whether they are responsible for any of the
$57 million it cost to extinguish the 2015
fire.
The Pinches didnt return a call seeking
comment Wednesday.
Cal Fire Chief Ken Pimlott said a building
permit was required when homeowner John
Pinch installed the used hot tub in 2009.
We have not found a permit on file,
Pimlott said Wednesday at a press conference in Lake County.
Pimlott says investigators are discussing
with the state Attorney General whether the
homeowners will be sued.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection released a detailed, 500-page report
into the cause of the 120-square-mile wildfire that devastated a large portion of rural Lake
County and parts of Napa County.
Lake County District Attorney Don
Anderson said at the press conference that
he is reviewing the report and launching an
investigation to determine if criminal
charges should be filed.
Thats very difficult to answer mainly
because I havent read the report,
Anderson. We are involved with four deaths
and that could be a whole range of criminal
activity. Obviously there was destruction of
a lot of property.
The fire was the states third most destructive blaze and forced the evacuation of tens

of thousands of residents and businesses.


The blaze burned for more than two weeks
and dry, windy condition made the initial
days especially harrowing. The first confirmed fatality was Barbara McWilliams,
72, who suffered from advanced multiple
sclerosis and used a wheelchair.
The report says it appears McWilliams
tried to escape the flames that engulfed her
Lake County home on Cobb Mountain by
crawling into her fireplace.
In addition to McWilliams, firefighters
found the remains of three other people.

Legislative panel OKs audit


of massive California tunnels
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Critics of Gov. Jerry


Browns nearly $16 billion plan to bore
two massive tunnels under the SacramentoSan Joaquin River Delta won a state audit
of its ongoing costs on Wednesday,
though state officials dont expect the
audit to delay the project.
The Joint Legislative Audit Committee
also voted to have Californias state auditor investigate prison suicides, University
of California spending and certain charter
schools.
The twin 40-foot tunnels, each 35 miles
long, would funnel Sacramento River water
south to dry farmland and millions of residents, but are opposed by delta-area lawmakers and others who say it will further
harm the environment while siphoning

water from Northern


California.
This is one of the
largest
infrastructure
projects ever that the
state of California is
going to be undertaking, said Democratic
state Sen. Lois Wolk of
Jerry Brown Davis. Yet the longterm
costs
remain
unclear, said Wolk and eight other lawmakers of both political parties who sought
the audit.
The cost is supposed to be covered by
water agencies that will benefit and not
directly by taxpayers, but Wolk and David
Wolfe of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association both predicted that the growing price tag will increase pressure to use
public funds.

California lawmaker drops


suits in religious school bill
By Darcy Costello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A California lawmaker


announced Wednesday he is removing a contentious provision of his bill that would
have allowed LGBT students to more easily
sue religious schools for discrimination,
conceding defeat to religious colleges that
had launched a campaign against it.
The measure would have eliminated a
longstanding exemption from state antidiscrimination laws for religious institutions, potentially opening them to civil
rights lawsuits from students and employees. Many religious schools heavily

opposed removing the exemption and called


the bill an attack on their free exercise of
religion.
A weaker version of the bill, which
Democratic state Sen. Ricardo Lara of Bell
Gardens said he would submit Thursday, still
mandates that institutions disclose exemptions from federal Title IX rules against discrimination. It would also require universities to report if a student has been expelled
for violating a schools moral code of conduct, which is often tied to religious beliefs
and can include anti-transgender or strict
sexuality provisions. The expulsion reporting would allow lawmakers to track how
often such dismissals occur.

Donald Trump attends a campaign rally in Abingdon, Va.

Trumps primary playbook


leading him out of bounds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABINGDON, Va. In the 2016 presidential campaign, its long been an article of
faith: The rules of political gravity dont
apply to Donald Trump.
Maybe now they do.
After winning state after state while
bouncing between controversies in the GOP
primaries, Trump is still stumbling on the
stump. His latest unforced mishap: an offhand remark that critics quickly slammed as a
suggestion that gun-rights backers should
take a literal shot at Hillary Clinton should
she win the White House.
But rather than continuing to float above
the criticism, Trump is losing ground in
preference polls and alienating prominent
Republicans by the day. Even some of his
supporters worry Trumps lack of a filter is
hurting his White House chances, a concern
they say has only grown in recent weeks.
Youd think it would be pretty simple for
a grown man to keep his mouth shut sometimes, said Seth Walls, 18, a landscaper
from Whitetop, Virginia, who attended his
first Trump rally on Wednesday. These
Twitter rants and things he does in the media,
I definitely think its hurting him.
With early voting set to begin next month
in several states, time is running short for
Trump to make a major change in his
approach. As he did in the primaries, the billionaire continues to dismiss guidance from
senior Republicans, in and out of his campaign. He has yet to return to running televi-

sion ads even as Clinton fills the airwaves,


and leads a campaign team that remains
badly understaffed.
But its not a surprise the latest flap
springs from a Trump rally, the centerpiece
of his campaign. Trump revels in the energy
provided by the crowd, made up mostly of
white, working-class voters, as he delivers
hour-long speeches largely without notes
and never with a teleprompter.
Trump rode such events to great success in
the primaries, when each of Trumps eyebrow-raising statements including a
moment when he appeared to mock a disabled journalist and his repeated retelling of
a debunked story about U.S. soldiers dipping
bullets in pigs blood earned him a
tremendous amount of attention and carried
little electoral consequence.
He tries to amp up the crowd, which hes
very good at, said former Trump adviser
Barry Bennett, who said the rallies may be
large, but dont represent the broader coalition of voters who typically decide general
elections. The problem is theres a television audience watching at home as well.
They have a hard time understanding what
hes doing.
Among that more diverse and moderate
general electorate, polls find Trump trailing
Clinton nationally and in most battleground
states. The Democratic nominees emerging
advantage comes at a key moment after both
political conventions are over, when the
state of a presidential race tends to stabilize
and leads are difficult to surmount.

Grimy gunk on Jefferson


Memorial baffles experts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Whats darkening


the formerly white rotunda of the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial?
Is it dirt? Is it mold?
No, its biofilm!
The National Park Service said in a
news release Wednesday that biofilm,
colony of microscopic organisms, has
become increasingly pronounced at
the memorial.
Officials say biofilm is not unique to
the Jefferson Memorial; it was successfully treated at the D. C. War
Memorial in 2011.
Gay Vietzke, superintendent of
National Mall and Memorial Parks,
said the increase presence of biofilm is
a new challenge throughout the mall.

We are continuing to study biofilm


and research treatment methods, and
look forward to restoring the dome to
its original luster while ensuring its
long-term preservation, Vietzke said
in a statement.
Officials are testing several techniques to treat the biofilm, with an eye
toward doing the least damage to the
soft marble of the Jefferson Memorial
and making it safe for the environment
and visitors.
The film is actually a multicultural
community of organisms living in the
relatively harsh environment of the
sun-blasted stone, Federica Villa, a
microbiologist who has been studying
the memorial, told The Washington
Post.
The organisms algae, bacteria and

fungi produce the black pigment to


protect themselves from solar radiation, she explained. And Park Service
experts note that it is not dirt or mold
as some might suspect.
Officials arent sure whether any of
the efforts can prevent the organisms
from coming back. They also dont
know whether the biofilm is damaging, or perhaps even protecting, the
stone.
To be honest, we have a lot of work
to do, Villa said.
The Park Service said that the marble
blocks that make up the memorial were
smooth when first hoisted into position but years of rain have slowly eroded the marble, pitting surfaces and creating a perfect environment for a
biofilm.

5 percent of Guantanamo prisoners released since Obama
took office have re-engaged in militant activities and another
8 percent are suspected of doing so.

Report will fuel debate over


closing Guantanamo prison
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A new report on Guantanamo detainees


tells the stories of former al-Qaida bomb makers and bodyguards as well as low-level militant cooks and medics who
have been transferred or cleared for release despite fears
they are at risk of returning to battle.
Many of the detainees have been held without charge for
more than 14 years at the military prison President Barack
Obama wants to close. The Pentagon gave the unclassified
report to Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who has been pushing
the Obama administration for years to be more transparent
about who is being transferred out of the prison at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She shared it with the Associated
Press and posted it online Wednesday.
By clearly detailing some of the disturbing terrorist activities and affiliations of detainees at Guantanamo, the report
demonstrates why these terrorists should not be released
they pose a serious risk to our national security, Ayotte said
in an email response to questions.
The remaining detainees will no doubt return to the fight
once released, she said, noting that the Defense Department
told her that 93 percent of the detainees still at Guantanamo as
of late last year were high risk for re-engagement in terrorism.
The report tells the story of detainees like Karim Bostan,
who once ran a flower shop and later was accused of running
an al-Qaida-affiliated explosives cell believed to have targeted U.S.-led coalition forces in eastern Afghanistan. Hes been
at Guantanamo for more than 13 years, but has been cleared
for transfer to a country willing to accept him.
It also, however, tells the story of Muhammad Said Salim
Bin Salman, a Yemeni who traveled to Afghanistan to train at
an al-Qaida camp. He says he became a cook and never fought
because he suffers from back pain. Deemed a medium intelligence risk, he was cleared for release and transferred to Oman
in January following 14 years of detention.
David Remes, a human rights lawyer who represents several detainees, says dangerous men are not being released.
Holding the men at all was a deep injustice and a lasting
stain on the U.S. These men shouldnt have been in
Guantanamo in the first place, Remes said. Its one thing to
prosecute detainees for attacks on the U.S. ... It is quite another thing and contrary to the values the U.S. says it is committed to to hold men for many years, who are accused of
no crime.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence reports
that 5 percent of Guantanamo prisoners released since Obama
took office have re-engaged in militant activities and another
8 percent are suspected of doing so.

U.S.-backed Libyan forces take over IS headquarters in Sirte


By Rami Musa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENGHAZI, Libya U. S. -backed


Libyan forces said on Wednesday they have
taken over the Islamic State groups headquarters in Sirte, the militants final bastion in Libya, breaking a weekslong stalemate with the help of U.S. airstrikes.
The fighters said that they had seized
control of the sprawling convention center
that was used as ISs headquarters in the
coastal city. The fighters, who are mainly
from the nearby city of Misrata, launched
their offensive against IS in June. They
also said that they had seized the citys
main hospital of Ibn Sina from IS militants.
A statement posted on the forces
Facebook page declared that Sirte is
returning to Libya.
The government-supported operation,
known as al-Bonyan al-Marsous, also said
that it lost contact with one of its warplanes and the pilot. In an online statement, IS claimed responsibility for shooting down the plane and killing the pilot.
Mohammed Shamia, a spokesman for the
operation, posted on his Facebook page a

The air support came in response to a

Wave of PKK attacks in southeast Turkey kill at least 12


By Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey A wave of Kurdish


rebel attacks targeting police and soldiers
in Turkeys mainly-Kurdish southeast killed
at least 12 people on Wednesday, as Turkey
was still dealing with the aftermath of a
failed military coup attempt that threatened
the government.
Officials said rebels of the Kurdistan
Workers Party, or PKK, launched simultaneous bomb attacks targeting police vehicles in the city of Diyarbakir and the town
of Kiziltepe, killing eight people, while
four soldiers were killed in a separate attack
near the border with Iraq hours earlier.
The attack in Kiziltepe was caused by a
roadside bomb that went off as a police bus
was passing by. Three people were killed
and at least 25 others were wounded there,

including at least five children aged


between 2 and 5, said an official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity in line with
government regulations.
At the same time, a car bomb explosion
targeting police in a historic part of the city
Diyarbakir killed at least five civilians and
wounded 12 others, the Diyarbakir governors office said. The explosion occurred at
a security checkpoint at a bridge over the
Tigris river.
The attacks came hours after an earlier
attack, also blamed on the PKK, killed four
soldiers and injured nine others near the
border with Iraq. The private Dogan news
agency said that attack targeted military
vehicles and was carried out with improvised explosives as well as rockets fired
from northern Iraq.
Clashes between the PKK and Turkeys
security forces resumed last year after a tenuous cease-fire collapsed and the PKK has

frequently targeted police or military with


roadside explosives or car bombs.
Wednesdays attacks, however, came as
the country is still reeling from a violent
coup attempt on July 15 that killed at least
270 people. The government has blamed
the failed coup on the supporters of U.S.based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen and
has embarked on a sweeping crackdown on
his followers.
The country is also combating the
Islamic State group, whose militants have
carried out a series of bloody attacks in

Turkey in the past year.


Earlier this week, PKK commander Cemil
Bayik threatened attacks against police in
Turkish cities, according to media reports.
Since hostilities with the PKK resumed
last summer, more than 600 Turkish security personnel and thousands of PKK militants have been killed, according to the
state-run Anadolu Agency. Human rights
groups say hundreds of civilians have also
died.
Turkey and its allies consider the PKK a
terror organization.

Stocks close modestly lower as oil slumps

Q&A: Delta CEO on outage and

NEW YORK Delta Air Lines is

when an electrical component

Business brief
Judge dismisses
suit accusing Twitter
of supporting IS group
NEW YORK A federal judge in
San Francisco has dismissed a lawsuit accusing Twitter of supporting
the Islamic State group.
The families of two men killed in
Jordan claimed that Twitter had
contributed to their deaths by
allowing the group to sign up for
and use Twitter accounts. The judge
agreed with Twitter that the company cannot be held liable because
federal law protects service
providers that merely offer platforms for speech, without creating
the speech itself.
As horrific as these deaths were
... Twitter cannot be treated as a
publisher or speaker of ISISs hateful rhetoric and is not liable under
the facts alleged, U.S. District
Judge William H. Orrick wrote
Wednesday .
The federal Communications
Decency Act has long protected
service providers for remarks made
and actions taken by their users,
so Wednesdays ruling came as no
surprise. But that law runs in conflict with an anti-terrorism law
prohibiting support for groups
like the IS.
The families have the option to
amend and refile the case.

McGarry pitches way to Area Code Games


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Griff McGarry attended his first Area Code


Games as a fan, travelling to Long Beach in
2014 to watch his older brother Matt pitch
for the Oakland As Area Code team.
This year, it was the younger McGarrys
turn as the right-hander out of Menlo
School took to the mound for two appearances this week in the prestigious annual
national showcase event at Blair Field on
the campus of Long Beach State.

Of McGarrys two outings, one went well, the


other didnt. But the 6-3
right-hander bound for
the
University
of
Virginia said he was
thrilled for the opportunity to follow in his
brothers footsteps, after
Griff McGarry dazzling in the Area Code
As tryout last month in
Stockton by striking out two in one inning
of work.

I wasnt certain I would [make the team]


but everything just fell into place and went
really well, McGarry said.
McGarrys debut in Long Beach went
swimmingly. Facing the Area Code
Yankees, he worked two innings, facing the
minimum with help from a caught stealing
after he hit a batter to allow his only base
runner of the outing. He struck out one. The
Yankees won the game 3-1.
I think it was a little bit nerve-racking
just going out there in front of so many
scouts, but after a couple warm-up pitches I

Gatlin: Ive served that time


U.S. sprinter who served doping suspension, defends his return
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO It didnt take long for


Justin Gatlins name to get dragged into the
doping drama swirling at the Olympics.
No big deal to Gatlin.
The sprinter considered the best threat to
stop Usain Bolt in the 100-meter nal
Sunday told the Associated Press hes not
paying attention to what people are saying
about him, and is not concerned with those
who think he doesnt belong here.
At the end of the day, the time has been
served. Ive served that time, the 34-yearold Gatlin told AP on Wednesday. Ive dealt
with that punishment. Ive moved forward.
Not everyone else has.
Gatlin, who won gold at 100 meters at the
2004 Olympics, has been caught using
banned substances twice. The rst was for
amphetamines, though arbitrators determined he didnt use them for doping but to
treat attention decit disorder. The second
came for excessive testosterone in 2006 and
resulted in a four-year ban.
His name almost always comes up in the
debate over how past dopers should be treated. In Rio, it surfaced in the wake of
American swimmer Lilly Kings nger-wagging display toward Yulia Emova, the
Russian who was allowed to compete after a
last-minute appeal to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport.
Like Gatlin, Emova has served a doping
ban but was reinstated.
But in refusing to bar the entire Russian
team from the Olympics after investigations detailed state-sponsored doping in the
country, the IOC put in a special caveat: Any
Russian who had been previously banned
for doping was not welcome.
That rule was overturned by CAS, which
had made similar decisions in previous
cases, saying athletes cant be punished
twice for the same offense.
Kings criticism of Emova and her icy
stares toward the Russian before the two
squared off in the pool instantly made
King a voice in support of clean athletes
everywhere.

In his second outing Wednesday, McGarry

KK Clarks bio on the USA Water
Polo website, one of the answers to
the question Where do you see yourself 10
years from now is: to be well traveled.
Clark, a 2008 graduate of Sacred Heart
Prep and a member of
the Womens Olympic
Water Polo team, has
certainly taken a circuitous route to Rio. A
star coming out of
high school, Clark
played her college
ball at UCLA with
nary an international
appearance. But after
spending time playing in Italy and New
York, she is turning
into a key contributor for Team USA, which
opened its Rio Olympics tournament
Tuesday.
I think shes a strong contributor to that
team, said Jon Burke, SHPs girls water
polo coach and Clarks coach her senior
year. She complements the group really
well. She plays her role. Shes definitely a
player who can contribute, especially
defensively. The coach can really rely
on her.
A lock-down defender, Clark has scored
her share of goals including finding the
back of the net in Team USAs win over
Spain Tuesday. After graduating SHP, Clark
went on to have an All-American career
with UCLA, winning a national championship her freshman year and finished her
career in 2012 with 169 goals 10th best
in UCLA history, which is quite an accomplishment, given the amount of talent that
has flowed through the Southern California
program.
Burke has kept in contact with Clark
over the years confirming she still goes
by her nickname of KK and he was
honored to get a call from her personally to
tell him she had made the Olympic team.

Raiders confident Heeney can fill hole in middle of D


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA When the Oakland


Raiders set out this offseason to
upgrade their defense, general manager Reggie McKenzie systematically targeted every apparent need
except for one.
McKenzie rebuilt his secondary,
added a pass rusher in Bruce Irvin
and fortified the defensive line by
using a second-round pick on Jihad
Ward but was content to stand pat at
middle linebacker to give secondyear player Ben Heeney a chance to
win the job.
It definitely lets you know they
have confidence in you, Heeney
said. It makes you feel good but
that doesnt mean anything. Its
just what you do on the field every
day.
Heeney had been groomed to be
Oaklands middle linebacker after
being drafted in the fifth round out
of Kansas in 2015. He had played
more on the outside in college but
the Raiders liked him in the middle,
where he backed up veteran Curtis
Lofton for most of last season.
Heeney played about one-quarter

of the defensive snaps last season


but got more time as the year went
on and he gained the confidence of
his coaches.
Now as the starter this year,
Heeney has been given the greendot helmet, which will allow him to
get the plays directly into his headset from coordinator Ken Norton Jr.
Hes smart, hes fast, and hes
relentless, Norton said. He has a
nose for the ball, very instinctive.
Ben is going to be a very good
football player. He cares a lot, hes
always getting better. You cant get
him out of the film room, asking
all the right questions, and we have
a lot of confidence in him.
Heeney had been the defensive
signal caller in college so the role
is not new for him and he says it
involves little more than hearing
the play from Norton and relaying
it to his teammates.
Having teammates like All Pro
Khalil Mack, Irvin, Dan Williams,
Sean Smith and Reggie Nelson
gives Heeney the confidence that
he can perform this season.
We have playmakers all over the
field, he said. Its definitely fun
to be able to give the plays to those

Ben Heeney, a 2015 fifth-round draft pick out of Kansas, is being groomed
to take over the middle linebacker spot.
guys and see what they can do with
it.
The Raiders felt little need to
upgrade at middle linebacker after
letting Lofton go, believing

Heeney could fill that role this season.


While he is not the prototypical
thumper in the middle who can stuff
the run, the 226-pound Heeney

brings much more speed and agility


to the field than Lofton and will be
last apt to get exploited in coverage or in space.
Ben Heeney is a dog, Irvin
said. Hes not the biggest guy, but
he plays bigger than what he is.
The guy leaves it out there for me.
Its just practice, so I can only
image what he does for me in a
game. Hes a team guy. Thats the
biggest thing, having a bunch of
team guys who are willing to leave
it out there for each other. I can
already tell Ben is one of those
guys.
Heeney finished his rookie season with 27 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks
but expects big improvements with
more playing time and the comfort
level that comes from a year in the
NFL and the familiarity with the
defensive system.
You definitely want the game to
slow down as far as seeing your
reads, he said. But I like to play
fast. I always like to play fast, go
get the ball and make plays. Theres
a lot of times where I was overaggressive last year. Thats something that hurt me in college.
Thats one of the knocks I had.

U.S. volleyballer banks on experience as college coach


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Each night,


Kayla Banwarth would pack lunch
for the next day, lay out her clothes
and set an alarm to be out the door
by 5 a.m.
The U.S. volleyball player spent
about five months this year working as a volunteer assistant coach
for the mens team at Pepperdine
University. She worked under Karch
Kiralys former Olympic coach and
current confidante, Marv Dunphy,
and American assistant David Hunt.
The commitment made for a hectic
schedule. Banwarth began her day
with a 60-mile commute at the crack
of dawn from Orange County to get
to campus before rush hour. After
Pepperdine practice, she would
immediately return to Anaheim to
work out with the national team
spending up to two hours on the
court with Kiraly each day and hitting the weight room afterward four

times a week.
As the U.S.
women chase
their
first
Olympic gold
medal, Banwarth
believes shes
all the better for
having coached.
Kayla Banwarth She and the topr a n k e d
Americans defeated Serbia 25-17,
21-25, 25-18, 25-19 on Wednesday
to improve to 3-0 and reach the quarterfinals. Serbia upset the U.S. in
five sets at last years World Cup in
Japan, forcing the Americans to
qualify for the Rio de Janeiro Games
in Lincoln, Nebraska, in January.
I for sure think if you coach it
helps you be a better player,
Banwarth said. Ive been more
mindful how I am technically on the
court. I think its helped me be a little bit more strategic seeing it from
a coachs perspective, kind of what
works and what doesnt work and

maybe finding more solutions in a


faster way.
On all those long drives, she
would listen to popular podcasts
like Serial. Bedtime was 8:30
most nights if she wasnt driving
home from matches late, that is.
It was very busy, for about five
months, said Banwarth, the
Americans starting back row specialist since 2013, when she was the
U.S. womens most improved
indoor player. I had it figured out
after about five months.
The 27-year-old Banwarth studied
video, scouted other teams, helped
plan practice and learned from some
accomplished coaches. Dunphy
guided Kiraly and the 1988 U.S.
indoor team to a gold medal in
Seoul.
At first, Banwarth and Hunt had
joked about the idea of her helping
at Pepperdine. But she also stayed
home from playing overseas for a
second straight year so it made
sense to keep her hand in volleyball

while also preparing for the Rio


Games.
It was a growing and a process
that forced her to organize her time
better. Shes said shes really out of
it in the mornings so she would
have to really plan out her day the
night before, Kiraly said. It just
forced her, or coaxed her, into
becoming even more professional
in terms of having these other obligations, being responsible for
another program, understanding the
game from a coaching standpoint.
There were lots of really good
things she benefited from that experience. Shes become more mature.
Dunphy has been around volleyball for so many decades he is a
good judge of talent, and he appreciated what his college players gained
from watching a woman he considers right up there with the best in the
world at receiving serve.
It was great for us to have somebody of her stature, Dunphy said.
As Im around these Olympic

Games, I hear announcers say


things and coaches say things, Oh,
the best in the world every match,
that players the best server in the
world. Its thrown around too loosely. But receiving serve as a passer, I
dont think theres anybody better
than her. Our players at Pepperdine
knew that when she would say
something it held water and very
seldom did she demonstrate but
there would be a couple times we
would give her a workout, and it was
like, Oooh, shes nailing every one
of those.
Banwarth and Hunt have been able
to draw off the things they learned
in college and with the national
team.
It was cool to be able to coach
her in this then have those same
coaching conversations with her,
Hunt said. Coachings more than
technique. Its a lot of interpersonal, getting a vibe of how somebodys doing to help them be their
best. It was cool to see that.

A-Rod still slated for Thursday start LOUNGE


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Alex Rodriguez was on the bench


again for the second of the New York Yankees
three games at Fenway Park, and manager Joe
Girardi will stay with his plan to start him
Thursday and then in his finale at home the following night.
My job description does not entail a farewell
tour, Girardi said Wednesday during a pregame
media session that at times was a bit testy. My
job description is to try to win every game and
to try to put everyone in the best possible position to do that, and thats what Im trying to do.
At the beginning of his session with the
media, Girardi was asked if Rodriguez would still
be in the starting lineup Thursday after Boston
scratched knuckleballer Steven Wright.
Yes, he will, Girardi said.
Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez will start for
Boston because the Wright jammed his right
shoulder while diving into a base as pinch runner in an interleague game against the Los
Angeles Dodgers over the weekend.
Its about winning the games, Girardi said
when asked if he liked the matchup. Thats what

spot in the rotation for the Central Coast
Section Division II champion Knights. He
did open the season against MenloAtherton with an erratic showing to the
strike zone, however.
McGarry actually started his high school
career at Menlo-Atherton as a freshman. As
a sophomore, he transferred to Fusion
Academy San Mateo, a small private school
that doesnt have athletics, before transferring once again as a junior to Menlo.
Hes completely athletic, M-A manager
Mike Amoroso said. Hes got a great arm.
Hes got a great approach. Hes a baller.
Thats the bottom line.
Like his brother Matt, that baller reputation helped forge a scholarship to the
Division-I college ranks.
Matt recently finished his freshman season at Vanderbilt where he saw limited
action at the prestigious program that produced big league arms such as David Price
and Mike Minor, as well as one of the top
arms in the San Francisco Giants farm system in 2014 first-round draft pick Tyler
Beede.
With Vanderbilt and University of
Virginia just over eight hours apart, the
McGarry boys will be relatively close to
one another. With Vanderbilt playing in the
Southeast Conference and Virginia in the

its always about here. Itll


continue to be that way.
Girardi then went on to
answer about 12 minutes of
questions why A-Rod wasnt starting the first two
games of the series. The
Yankees said Sunday that
Rodriguez will be released
Alex Rodriguez following Fridays homestand opener against Tampa
Bay. The 41-year-old designated hitter, who has
696 home runs, didnt play in a 5-3 loss in
Tuesday.
Fans chanted We want A-Rod! late in the
game.
You could say what you want, theres a lot of
relationships involved here and it bothers me
sometimes because people say one thing to do
and because it becomes controversial they say
another and its difficult, Girardi said. When
we look at this decision, were basing it on a
substantial amount of at-bats - and its not what
we want. I think our hope is hed hit 30 home
runs again, but that hasnt been the case this
year.

Atlantic Coast Conference, the two teams


are likely not to meet in the regular season.
The brothers are still hoping to meet on the
diamond though on college baseballs
biggest stage.
[The schools] have crossed paths but
only in the College World Series, McGarry
said. So if we do make it there will be a
good chance well play each other.
McGarry joined several other Peninsula
players of interest on this years Area Code

Carlmont slugger Vinny Bologna

Ydens the younger brother of 2016 coWest Catholic Athletic League Most
Valuable Player Jeremy Ydens represented
St. Francis. And Darren Baker son of former Giants manager Dusty Baker also
plays for the team.
McGarry raved about the chance to share
the diamond with the 5-11, 157-pound
Darren Baker, a second baseman out of
Jesuit High School-Carmichael who is committed to Cal.
Hes got an incredible skill set,
McGarry said. Hes definitely very fast, has
great hands, great fundamental. I think once
he gets big and strong hell be a standout
player.
McGarry and the Area Code As had a tough
act to follow Wednesday. In the game previous to theirs, the Area Code Brewers had
three pitchers combine on a no-hitter, the
first no-no in Area Code Games history.

Thats a conversation I feel fortunate to
have had. To have worked with an athlete
who worked to be an Olympian. It meant a
lot to hear it (from her) personally, Burke
said. I hope to have those types of calls in
the future (from other alumnae).
Despite staying close with Clark she
was a senior when the Gators won their first
of what is currently nine straight Central
Coast Section championships Burke doesnt
know exactly why she
seemed to not be in the
national team mix during
her college career, but
Clark has always seemed
to do things to the beat of
her own drum. In high
school, she did not fully
KK Clark
commit to water polo
until her sophomore year
she was torn between the pool and her
other passion, equestrian.
After graduating from SHP, she appeared in
the Youth International Series in Sydney,
Australia and didnt make another national
team appearance until the University Games
in China in 2011.
I dont know exactly, in terms of why,
Clark didnt continue to pursue national team
assignments, Burke said. His theory, however, is quite simple: Clark was born at the
wrong time. Burke said Clark was simply
caught between Olympics. She was a little
too young for the 2008 team and not ready to
crack a veteran-laden 2012 squad.
It has to do with the Olympic cycle,
Burke said. At that point in time (between
2008 and 2012 Olympics), they (the national team was) already so ingrained with a very
senior-heavy womens national team. They
had a lot of girls returning from 2008. I
think about 80 percent of the women from
2008 were on the 2012 team.
What Burke does think the break from

international competition did for Clark was


lessen the load on her shoulders and with a
goal of being well traveled, Clark got to do
it on her own timeline.
It allowed her to really focus on college,
Burke said. I know she did want to go
abroad and play professionally in Europe.
Which Clark did. But by that time, she was
already back in the national team mix. Since
2013, she has appeared in 15 tournaments
with the full national team, including the Rio
Olympics appearance.
Coming out of SHP, Clark seemed destined
for a long career with Team USA. It maybe
took longer than some expected, but her
long and winding road still ended in the spot
many had hoped: the Olympics.

Pacificas Danny Barrett scored a spectacular try, while Woodside grad Folau Niua intercepted a ball that resulted in another score,
but it wasnt enough to lift the U.S. rugby
team into the medal round at the Rio
Olympic tournament.
Barrett scored on a 50-yard jaunt, bowling
over one would-be Fiji tackler before cutting
to his right and going in for a try that gave
the U.S. an early 7-0 lead over the top-ranked
team in the world.
Fiji would rally, however, scoring the next
two tries to lead 12-7 at halftime. Niua intercepted a pass deep in Fijis end midway
through the second half and got the ball to
speedster Perry Baker, who weaved his way
in from 20 yards out.
Trailing 24-14, New England Patriot special teams ace Nate Ebner scored on a long
run to cut Fijis lead to 24-19, but a missed

U.S. rolls on, routs Serbia


in womens basketball
RIO DE JANEIRO Diana Taurasi knocked
down a personal Olympic best six 3-pointers
and finished with 25 points as the United
States took a big step Wednesday toward the
quarterfinals, routing Serbia 110-84.
Taurasi scored 16 in the first quarter and hit
five 3s in the first half, and the Americans (30) needed her scoring.
The Serbians struggled inside against the
bigger Americans, so they shot over the
United States and hit 12 of 20 outside the arc.
They played the first quarter almost as well
as they couldve hoped in taking a 17-16 lead
before Taurasi keyed a 15-4 run with three
straight 3s.

Uchimura rallies for mens gymnastics gold


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Kohei Uchimuras


gold-medal haul keeps growing.
The superstar gymnast from Japan won
the mens all-around title on Wednesday
night, edging Ukranian Oleg Verniaiev by
less than a tenth of the point to capture his
second straight Olympic gold. Uchimura
trailed heading into the final rotation but
put up a dazzling 15. 8 on high bar.
Verniaiev followed with a less challenging
routine and hopped forward on the dismount.
Needing 14.9 to win, Verniaiev instead
earned a 14.8. The crowd groaned when the
score was revealed, though Verniaiev
shrugged his shoulders as if to say what
can you do?
Uchimura finished with a total of 92.365,
just ahead of Verniaievs 92.266.
Max Whitlock of Great Britain was third,
just ahead of Russias David Belyavskiy.

Japans Kohei Uchimura won his second


straight Olympic all-around gold medal,
holding off Ukraines Oleg Verniaiev.
American Sam Mikulak recovered from a
fall on vault to rally to seventh. Chris
Brooks was 14th.
Mikulak and Brooks, hoping to take

some of the sting out of another fifth-place


finish in the team event, couldnt match the
bronze in the all-around teammate Danell
Leyva captured in London. Brooks, the 29year-old captain, hit all six of his sets without a major mistake to end a remarkable run
in which he came from nowhere to make his
first Olympic team.
Mikulak, a four-time national champion,
was hoping to make an international splash
but saw his hopes of reaching the podium
end when he shorted his vault landing during his third rotation.
Uchimura arrived in Rio as the overwhelming favorite to back up the all-around
gold he won in London four years ago. Yet
the six-time world champion said repeatedly his ultimate goal was a team gold for
Japan. He got that triumphant moment on
Monday night, when he guided the Japanese
to the top of the podium for the first time
since 2004 with a nearly flawless finishing
kick on floor exercise.

Aussies give Team USA a game


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Carmelo Anthony and


Kyrie Irving had the answers in the first test
for the U.S. Olympic mens basketball team.
Anthony scored 31 points on the night he
became the U.S. mens Olympic career scoring leader, combining with Irving for all the
Americans baskets in the fourth quarter of a
98-88 victory over Australia on Wednesday
night.
Irving born in Australia added 19
points, including a 3-pointer with 1:35 left
after Australia had closed within four.
A team that won its first two games by a
combined 101 points could never get a comfortable lead and for a while couldnt get
one at all. The Australians, with big bodies
inside, quality point guards to counter the
American pressure and a wealth of NBA

The dispute led to King, and many others,
being asked if it was fair that Gatlin was competing.
Do I think people who have been caught

It is unfortunate we have to see that, King said.
But, King said, she had to respect the rules.

Kevin Durant capped off the scoring with
two free throws, making him the only other
player than Irving or Anthony to score in the
period.
The American, who had barely broken a
sweat in Brazil, trailed early in the fourth
quarter before Anthony hit a flurry of 3-

Americans on top.

Americans trailed 72-70

the Australians.

asked whether Gatlin should be here.


The issue people need to understand is that
youre not going to solve the problem by
pointing the nger at an athlete and making
that athlete the villain, Johnson said, talking
in general about athletes with violations.
The athlete has been a villain and certainly
has done damage to the sport. ... I dont appreciate that. But the athletes not the one thats
making the rules that allows him to get back on
the track or back in the pool, or back on the
eld.
Gatlin does not see himself as a villain and
does not buy into the now-hackneyed portrayal

of him vs. Bolt as tracks version of Good vs.


Evil.
People want to label people and thats all
they want to do, Gatlin said. They dont want
to get to know them, they dont want to understand the story, in-depth.
Though many of the headlines deride him,
Gatlin insists hes popular in the athletes village.
So many people have come up to me in the
village and the cafeteria, showing me love,
wanting me to go out there and do the best, be
the best, he said. Taking pictures and everything. I get love, man.

Rio steps up security after


bus windows are shattered
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Military


police in Rio de Janeiro are stepping up security at the Olympics
after a bus carrying journalists had
two of its windows shattered by a
projectile and a bullet flew into the
stables of the equestrian venue.
Two large windows on the media
bus were shattered Tuesday by what
Rio organizers said was a rock. But
a passenger disputed the account,
saying it was definitely gunfire.
There were no serious injuries.
I know what a gun sounds like,
said passenger Lee Michaelson,
who identified herself as a former
Air Force officer covering the
games for a womens basketball
website. It was the sound before I
ever saw the glass (shatter) or anything.
Rio police was adamant its
assessment was correct.
There were no shots, the forensics were made on the bus, I have
pictures and I can show them, said
Rio police Investigator Carolina
Salomao. If there were a shot it
would have gone through. There
was not that so that theory has
been completely discredited.
Security has been a major con-

cern surrounding the Olympics as


Rio is plagued by rampant crime,
including frequent murders, gun
battles and muggings. Adding to
the anxiety is terrorism fears about
Islamic State.
Rio is deploying about 85,000
soldiers and police to secure the
games, twice as many as London
did four years ago. Soldiers in military fatigues and carrying guns
have been a common sight around
Olympic venues.
Security was visibly increased
overnight on a media bus route
toward a womens basketball arena,
with three military vehicles and
more troops holding guns along
the way.
The equestrian venue has had two
brushes with stray gunfire since the
games started.
The entire competition venue is
situated on military land and gunshots could be clearly heard
throughout the day during the dressage competition.
There have been no reports of
any injuries at the venue.
Newton de Oliveira, an independent security expert with no ties to
the organizers, said the fact
remains that Rio is still a violent
city despite the beefed-up patrols.

NEW YORK John Saunders, the versatile sportscaster who has hosted ESPNs
The Sports Reporters for the last 15
years, has died, the network announced
Wednesday. He was 61.
Saunders joined ESPN in 1986. He did
play-by-play on various sports, led NHL
Stanley Cup Final and World Series coverage on ESPN and ABC, and hosted studio
shows for baseball, college football and
college basketball.
A cause of death was not announced.
Saunders took over as host of The
Sports Reporters, a Sunday morning staple of ESPN programming, after Dick
Schaap died in 2001. Saunders played the
role of calm traffic cop on the panel show
that features three sports journalists volleying opinions on the top sports news of
the day.
John was an extraordinary talent and

his friendly, informative style has been a


warm welcome to
sports fans for
decades. His wide
range of accomplishments across numerous sports and championship events is
John Saunders among the most
impressive
this
industry has ever seen, ESPN President
John Skipper said in a statement.
Saunders was also a founding member of
the board of directors for The V
Foundation for Cancer Research, a charity
started by the network after former college
basketball coach and ESPN announcer Jim
Valvano died of cancer in 1993.
He was as close to Jimmy V as anybody at ESPN, said Dick Vitale, who
has worked at ESPN for decades with
Saunders and considered him one of his

Vitale said Saunders was a diabetic, but
he was not ailing, and the death of one of
his closest friends was unexpected.
Saunders has been the master of ceremonies at Vitales gala and V Foundation
fundraiser in Sarasota, Florida, in 10 of 11
years the event has been held, said the
longtime college basketball analyst.
When Vitale had to have throat surgery
that threatened his career in 2008,
Saunders surprised him at the hospital and
was there with Vitale before and after the
procedure.
The doctor told me that there was a
good chance it was going to be cancer,
Vitale told the AP in a phone interview. I
said, John, do me a favor. When you
come in that room after just give me
thumbs up if its not ... and if it is dont do
anything. And when I woke, the first guy
I saw after surgery was John and I saw
thumbs up and we hugged.

As newcomer shuts down Baltimore


By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Ross Detwiler and John


Axford combined on a four-hitter and the
Oakland Athletics beat Baltimore 1-0 on
Wednesday night to knock the Orioles out
of first place in the AL East.
Called up from the minors earlier in the
day, Detwiler (1-0) allowed six hits over a
career-high eight innings and struck out two
while leading the As to their third consecutive one-run win over the Orioles.
Detwiler was nearly out of baseball after
being designated for assignment by
Cleveland in July.

As 1, Orioles 0
Marcus Semien and Yonder Alonso hit
consecutive doubles in the third inning for
the games only run.
Chris Davis had two hits for Baltimore.
The Orioles entered the day percentage
points ahead of Toronto but fell a game
behind the Blue Jays, who beat Tampa Bay
7-0 earlier Wednesday.
The As had lost eight of nine and were
swept in three games by the Chicago Cubs
before stunning the Orioles.
Detwiler got some help from Oaklands
defense in the first inning.

The left-hander gave up a single and a double to the first two hitters he faced and threw
two wild pitches but escaped without allowing a run.
Adam Jones was thrown out sliding into
home by Oakland second baseman Max
Muncy in the inning. Jones tried to score
on J.J. Hardys double over the head of right
fielder Danny Valencia and was initially
ruled safe by home plate umpire Chad
Fairchild. The As challenged and the call
was overturned on replay.
It was Detwilers first win as a starting
pitcher since he was with Washington and
beat the Chicago Cubs on May 10, 2013.
Axford retired three batters for his second

Cory Blaser gave him the thumb. Bonds then


came onto the field to briefly argue further
before being pulled away by manager Don
Mattingly.
Despite the early departure, Bonds didnt miss
any runs by his team. Jeff Samardzija (10-8)
pitched 5 2/3 innings to best his former Notre
Dame teammate, David Phelps, and four Giants
relievers completed a five-hitter.
Santiago Casilla pitched around a two-out
double in the ninth by Ichiro Suzuki, striking
out J.T. Realmuto to earn his 26th save.
With that one-run lead, I was trying to protect it, Samardzija said. You have to tip your
hat to our bullpen to go 3 1/3 innings and
hold them at 1-0, they should get the win.
Samardzija had lost his past three starts.
Suzuki singled and doubled to increase his
career hit total to 3,002, and teammate Marcell
Ozuna singled to end an 0-for-18 slump. But
Miami bunched two hits in an inning only once
in the second and Derek Dietrich was

MIAMI The National Leagues only living seven-hit men met Wednesday.
Rennie Stennett visited Marlins Park so he
could congratulate San Francisco Giants
shortstop Brandon Crawford, who had seven
hits in Mondays 14-inning victory at
Miami.
The seven-hit game was the first since
Stennett went 7 for 7 for the Pittsburgh
Pirates at Wrigley Field in 1975.
It was cool to meet him, Crawford said.
We talked about the game he had a little bit
and how hell never forget it. I said, Im sure
I wont either.

Crawford and Stennett

photos on the field before

These guys have it in them. Im not concerned

MIAMI Barry Bonds has been ejected from

Overstuffed jewelry box? Try a detox


By Melissa Kossler Dutton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Debbie Roes owns the largest jewelry box


she could find, but it was still so full she had
difficulty seeing her belongings. So she
decided to de-clutter it as part of an overall
purging of her possessions, and the result
made her happy.
It used to be so cluttered that I didnt really know what I had, and many pieces I loved
werent being worn, said Roes, of San
Diego.
Many people accumulate extra jewelry
over the years and could benefit from organizing it better. That might mean discarding,
giving away, selling, repairing or repurposing pieces, said Cyndy Aldred of Lufkin,
Texas, author of Idiots Guides: Organizing
Your Life (Alpha Books, 2014).
Begin by weeding out those you never
wear.
Roes did that, and quickly parted with 20
of her 282 pieces. She also pulled out jewelry that was broken, and either had it fixed or
got rid of it.
Then she grouped together like pieces,
which helped her realize that she had many
duplicates.
I tended to buy a lot of similar things.
What were drawn to when shopping is what
were familiar with, she said.
Once the jewelry was sorted, Roes forced
herself to pick her favorites. She donated,
gave away or sold the rest.
She did several purges like this so as not
to deplete her collection too quickly, she
said. In between purges, she would move the
pieces she wore into different drawers in the
jewelry box. The pieces that hadnt been

Kathy Zaltas, who owns Zaltas Gallery of


Fine Jewelry in Mamaroneck, New York,
said customers often bring in their jewelry
boxes or ones they have inherited, wondering what to do with the contents. Zaltas
helps them determine which pieces are valuable, which could be repaired or made into
something new, and which could be sold.
People acquire jewelry that they dont
wear anymore, she said. It has a monetary
value if you want to scrap it. It doesnt need
to sit and sit.
She also works with clients to transform
out-of-date pieces into something new.
Carol Manire almost never takes off the
necklace that Zaltas made from some of her
mothers old jewelry. She had taken several
pieces into the store after her mother
passed away because keeping them in a safe
at her home in Port Chester, New York,
felt like I was not honoring her memory

ty is guaranteed an estimated $795,000 a
year money that comes out of the pockets of inmates and their families, many of
whom are poor or disadvantaged, said
attorney Ron Kaye, who is representing
the Bankses with the firm Kaye, McLane
Bednarski & Litt.
Once you take a step back and you just
dont have this gut reaction that these are
people in custody, screw them, and you
think about the families of those people in
custody and how overwhelmingly difficult
it is for them to get by often, and how
important it is for them to connect with
their loved ones, this is a no-brainer,
Kaye said. This is a vehicle that has been
used for a long time to fund other programs
that have nothing to do with [the phone
services] and its unconstitutional.
San Mateo County Counsel John Beiers
said the county complies with existing
laws and the proceeds go toward programs
that benefit inmates. He noted the county
has not yet been served, but understands
multiple jurisdictions throughout the state
are being targeted. Beiers added the jail is
in line with the Federal Communications
Commissions recent cap on the amount
prisoners are charged for interstate calls.

A zoning amendment request would require

by the law, any proceeds received by our


county from inmate calls are deposited into
our Inmate Welfare Fund and then used to
provide essential welfare and educational
services to inmates. These services include
important services such as mental health
counseling, substance abuse programs,
culinary programs, GED programs and an
array of services provided by the non-profit Service League of San Mateo, Beiers
said in an email.
Inmates at San Mateo Countys new
Maguire Correctional Facility are being
charged between 21 cents and 25 cents per
minute, depending on payment type,
according to the Sheriffs and County
Counsels offices.
The
Federal
Communications
Commission announced new restrictions
last year that would have greatly reduced
the maximums jails could charge for a
jail like that in San Mateo County, it would
have been reduced to either 14 cents or 16
cents depending on the number of inmates.
However, a court case blocked the order
and last week on Aug. 4 the FCC issued new
rules that will go into effect in 2017,
according to the FCC and County
Counsels Office.
Based on the newly proposed rules, jails
with between 350 and 999 inmates can
charge up to 21 cents per minute and those
with 1,000 or more inmates can charge up
to 19 cents per minute.
The county contracts with Securus
Technologies and the County Counsels

Office said they work closely with the


company to ensure inmate phone calls are
consistent with the applicable federal
rates.
Kaye said overcharging families and
inmates to make phone calls, a byproduct
of counties agreement to give private
phone companies monopolistic contracts,
is an unfair and widespread problem.
Its common among jails in California,
its not common in the California
Department of Corrections, who have corrected this injustice and this usurious type
of charging system. Our understanding and
our research shows theres no nexus
between the cost thats being imposed by
the county and what it takes for them to run
the phone system, Kaye said. This undue
burden is being placed on the poorest of
the poor people, its not just inmates, but
its the families of the inmates.
Lawsuits have already been filed in Los
Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside and
San Bernardino counties. Kaye said a judge
is expected to hear one of the counties
motions to dismiss the case this week and,
depending on the outcome, they would
consider when to file cases against Santa
Clara and Alameda counties.
Cost to families
The class action lawsuit names East Palo
Alto residents Alfred Banks and Shirley
Lawrence-Banks as the lead plaintiffs. The
62-year-old Alfred Banks is currently serving time for multiple burglary charges,

according to county records.


Alfred has been in jail more than a year
and Lawrence-Banks spends a few hundred
dollars a month so she can keep in close
contact with her husband, said Carole
Strickman, an attorney whos worked with
the Bankses through the nonprofit Legal
Services for Prisoners with Children.
They are a middle-aged couple, a devoted couple, they talk generally twice a day.
She had retired and had to go back to work
in order to pay the phone bills, Strickman
said, noting she has heard from numerous
clients about the issue. Generally speaking, when people are incarcerated its really important they are able to maintain contact with their loved ones.
The attorneys stressed the value of keeping inmates in contact with their families
and Kaye noted San Francisco County does
not impose the extra fees that making
calling home particularly challenging for
people who are struggling to make ends
meet.
Theres just too much of a burden on
low-income people to pay these outrages
costs and unequivocally, its contrary to
the criminal justice system, Kaye said.
Family connections, its undisputed, aid
in rehabilitation and work against recidivism. And just on a human level, these are
people in custody who are not convicted of
crimes, are waiting for trials or waiting to
plea, facing some of the most stressful situations of their life. And the burden is further being placed on the family members.

houseboat community that calls the


Docktown Marina home.
The houseboat community, however, is in
violation of the public trust and, without a
legislative solution, will likely cease to
exist in 2018 due to a settlement the city
made with a local attorney based on a complaint the marina was illegal.
Renderings of Watts proposal submitted
to the city show 31 proposed three-story
buildings, with eight of them lining up
alongside Redwood Creek, facing Marina
One, where most of the liveaboards at
Docktown currently float on the water.
Watts renderings, however, do not show
any of Docktowns current features such as
the yacht club.
The developer has had its eye on building

on the site, owned by Jay Franklin


Salaman, for years, said Watts Max Frank.
And the project has been designed, he
said, with Docktown in mind.
The design provides land-side access for
Docktown residents to still access their
liveaboards during any transition, Frank
said.
With a high demand for housing in the
area, he said, the Maple Street project, with
157 townhomes for sale, would be a valuable asset to the city.
Its a great piece of property but its
underutilized, Frank said.
The draft Inner Harbor Specific Plan calls
for adding 1.2 million square feet of offices
and 4,880 new jobs at Harbor View Place.
The plan also calls for adding 1,211 resi-

dents in 550 new housing units.


The Jay Paul Company proposes to build
four nine-story buildings and three parking
structures with more than 4,000 parking
spaces.
Building heights in the area could reach
up to 131 feet.
Within the plan area, there are three private property parcels where new construction could take place including the
Docktown property and east of the new
county jail where Malibu Grand Prix previously existed.
The third site is the Ferrari property near
the Graniterock facility, which is considered the best spot for a floating home community in the future.
The plan also includes improved connections in and out of the harbor area.

Many drought-resistant plants also draw pollinators


By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Water-wise gardens dont have to resemble sterile moonscapes, devoid of anything but layers of rock and gravel. They
can feature scores of attractive droughtresistant plants that invite bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollen- and
nectar-gathering species to your yard.
Xeriscaping is an important gardening
approach for the more arid western half of
the country, said David Salman, founder
and chief horticulturist for High Country
Gardens in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
But regardless of where you live,
xeriscaping can be as simple as planting
native and Old World plants whose water
needs meet an areas normal precipitation,
thus needing little if any supplemental
watering once established, he said in an
email.
Both perennials and annuals have a
place in pollinator-supportive gardens.
Salman recommends annuals that natural-

ize themselves by reseeding, so


they are persistent in the landscape. He also suggests using a
combination of perennials that will bloom
from the start of the
growing season until
hard frost in the fall.
Those can range from trees
to shrubs, herbs to succulents, grasses to ground covers.
Start small. Understand
which micro sites in your yard
favor
xeriscaping.
Depressions in the ground that
retain scarce rainwater, for
example. Or dry corners of
your property that with
some soil amendments
could be converted into
efficient
pollinator
pockets.
En v i r o n m e n t a l
controls also will
make your yard

more attractive to pollinators.


The use of windbreaks and buildingsheltered areas in windy climates is one,
Salman said, a nod toward protecting
wind-averse bumblebees. The use of
mulches in dry climates is another. Using
runoff water from a homes roof to water a
shade tree would be still
an o t h er.
T h i s
saves both energy
(air conditioning) and the
need for supplemental irrigation.
Succulents are popular with
many gardeners in arid settings, but cacti belong to a
plant order with higher durability.
Some cacti are hummingbird
attractors those that flower bright
red, said James Cane, an entomologist
with
the
U. S.
Department
of
Agriculture/ARS Insect
Pollinating
Research Unit at Utah State University.
Other succulents, like sedums, are pretty

attractive to bees. But freezing temperatures can be hard on succulents.


Go easy on using weed barriers like erosion cloth when xeriscaping, Cane said.
Its important to be judicious with it,
he said. Dont unroll the whole package
and then poke holes in it - at least if you
want bees and worms. It packs down and
eliminates habitat for the ground-nesting
bees that comprise about 85 percent of the
wild bee populations in the East.
Which plants suited to sun-seared settings are most pleasing to pollinators and
gardeners alike?
Many Old World species like springblooming bulbs, catmints, lavender,
Russian sage and European salvia are honeybee magnets, Cane said.
Native species like goldenrod, sulfur
buckwheat, milkweed and blazing star are
nectar sources for native bees and butterflies, he said. Hummingbird mint,
native salvia, orange honeysuckle and
beardtongue are eagerly sought by hummingbirds.

heat from the blaze was so severe it


rendered all his DNA untraceable.
Five others Jacqueline and
Janessa Greig, Jessica Morales,
Elisabeth Torres and James Franco
were killed elsewhere in the neighborhood by the blast as well, and 37 other
homes were also destroyed.
Sue Bullis has returned only once to
the site of her former home, to see a
flag raised honoring her husbands
Naval service. Otherwise, the onset of
overwhelming anxiety is too severe
to overcome when she considers
going back to the property.
After years of therapy and medication, Sue Bullis said her nerves and
emotions remain raw in her battle to
comprehend her survivors guilt. The
challenge is so severe, she said she
avoids the news and even exposure to
fire or PG&E advertising can bother
her deeply.
Basically they killed my family,
she said. Theres just no words.
The day of the tragedy, she learned
of the blast when her daughter Janine
Bullis called frantic because she was
unable to contact the family.
While away from home at a medical
convention in the East Bay, Sue Bullis
said she raced to a bar at the hotel
where the conference was held and
demanded they turn on a television,
which immediately showed images of

her home and property engulfed in


flames.
Her heart sank, she said.
I was horrified and just praying to
God they were out of the house, she
said. The fire was so great, it would
have been hard to get away from.
Looking back, Sue Bullis said there
was little doubt her life had been forever diminished.
I knew. I knew in my heart they
were gone. Janine definitely knew,
she said.
Even years after the incident, she
and her daughter rarely discuss their
lost family members.
Its hard for us to talk about this
together, she said. Its too painful.
It hurts for [Janine] to talk about her
dad or brother.
Recalling memories is no simple
task for Sue Bullis either, who cried
when discussing her former husband
of 26 years.
I loved him dearly and miss him
dearly. He was a good man. A really
good man. Its not fair that my sons
not here. Its not fair that Gregs not
here. He was only 50. His life was definitely cut short, she said.
Alternatively, she beams when talking about her son. William Bullis had
severe lifelong pain in the wake of a
broken ankle he suffered as a child,
which derailed his academic career.

TERMS

lish a plan to coordinate their election


dates with the state schedule if average
voter turnout over the past four elections is 25 percent lower than the
amount of people who participate in
general elections.
Friedman said since the shift is
required, it is in the best interest of
officials to act quickly to ensure the
high school district is not taking on
the increased expense of waiting to be
one of the last voting bodies paying to
having elections on an odd year.
Other elected bodies are examining a
variety of different maneuvers ultimately working toward getting them
onto the even year election cycle, but
Friedman said seeking the one year
term extension is likely the easiest
and most straightforward.
Following the high school district
boards approval, the issue will go on
to the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors for a final vote. Friedman
said he expects the supervisors to
authorize the effort, as many other
voting bodies in San Mateo County
will need to take similar steps in coming years.
There are 14 school districts in San
Mateo County currently holding their

Senate Bill 415 requiring all districts
and municipalities to align their calendar with general elections as part of
an attempt to boost voter participation.
Trustee Marc Friedman said he supports the shift, and expects the rest of
the board to be in favor as well.
We want as many people participating as possible, said Friedman. You
dont want to pick your voters. Im
perfectly happy with this. I have no
issues.
The high school district is not the
only elected board considering a similar shift, as the Redwood City
Elementary School District Board of
Trustees also addressed the issue during
a meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10. The
South San Francisco City Council also
considered the issue last month.
Cities are converting too, it is not
just us, said Friedman.
Under the bill set to take hold in
2018, local elected bodies must estab-

After discovering an appreciation


for culinary arts as a student at Mills
High School, William Bullis started to
engage in school and Sue Bullis said
he discovered he was on track to graduate only weeks before the blast hit.
To honor his legacy, Sue Bullis
started a charitable foundation
designed to offer students like him,
who were average academically but
maintained unique interests and needed
financial assistance to pursue further
education.
The foundation granted more than
$100, 000 scholarships to students
last year, and Sue Bullis said the work
encourages her to persevere and
lessens her feelings of helplessness.
I dont like the word victim, she
said. Im a survivor, or else I would
not be here.
While walking through the rose garden planted to honor her lost loved
ones in her backyard, the area shared
by her faithful canine companion
Beau, she said she hopes the recent
verdict discourages other utilities
from making decisions potentially
threatening more lives.
I dont want anyone to go through
what I have been through, she said.
With the hope that she will continue
to grow stronger as the years pass and
the scars will keep healing, Sue Bullis
said she would eventually like to be a
model for endurance through tragedy,
even though her pain could have been
prevented.
It is possible to survive this, she
said. But it wasnt an accident. It was
a man-made disaster.
elections on odd years, while the
South San Francisco Unified, Menlo
Park City Elementary, Pacifica and
Ravenswood City Elementary school
districts, as well as the San Mateo
County Board of Education and others
are among those that already have
even-year elections.
The legislative effort to consolidate
school district elections with state
elections was inspired by state Sen.
Ben Hueso, D- Logan Heights, who
looked to enhance voter participation.
Special elections for bonds or parcel
taxes are not required to be scheduled
on even years.
As the board is set to take action,
Friedman said he believed the shift is
in the best interest of the district and
voters too, as the shift could help protect against the fatigue voters might
feel by participating in elections so
frequently.
I cant think of any reason to
remain with odd year elections, he
said. I think we should do it. I think it
will be good for the voters.
