Citizens seek zoning repeal

Belmont residents fight against City Councils amendments, want place on ballot
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A group of Belmont residents

gathered at City Hall Wednesday
to deliver signatures they say will
force the councils hand to either
rescind controversial amendments
to the citys zoning ordinances or
give residents a chance to vote on

it in November.
For nearly a year, the City
Council has worked to update its
Zoning and Tree ordinances its
members say will ease the ability
for residents to remodel their
homes and account for growing
families.
But members of the Ask
Belmont Citizens group say few

were aware of the changes and the

process was rushed, so they were
prompted to gather nearly 2,200
signatures that will require more
time be spent considering the
amendments.
If the council opts to rescind the
ordinances, it would be prohibited
from bringing them up again for at
least a year. If it opts to place a

potential referendum on the

November ballot
and its
approved, it must wait a year until
proposing the changes again.
Approved May 26, the nearly 40
amendments include creating a
tiered review system with modest
additions approved by staff and
new homes considered by the
Planning Commission, easing

parking requirements, increasing

the maximum home size for large
lots and changing the definition
of protected trees.
There are actually parts that I
agree with, but I think overall, the
impact is detrimental to Belmont
and what I have heard other people

Bonsai master Gordon Deeg tends to a bonsai tree. He said tending to the miniature trees is a calling.

The art of bonsai

Intricacies of creating the perfect tree is complex
By Joseph Jaafari
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

There is something calming

about watching Gordon Deeg
prune his azaleas. The tree, which
actually is a bush, is one of Deegs
more prized bonsai art pieces and
was shown earlier this month at
the annual bonsai show at the San
Mateo Garden Center.
Its a bit fried, he said, as he
continued to pull off wrinkled bits
of flower from the side of the tree.
With every pinch and pull, the

leftover stamen would hang off the

branches and droop, giving the
look of tinsel on a very tiny
Christmas tree which is fitting
because Deeg, himself, looks a bit
like Santa Claus.
Hes a graying man with a thick
white beard. By hands that have
the strength to tightly twist copper wire around tree branches, he
uses a soft touch to handle
dwarfish trees that look like they
could be blown away with a small
gust of wind.
Deegs Atherton backyard has

tiny elms, junipers and redwoods

along with a bleacher of smaller
trees under 8 inches, called shohin
trees. And even though maintaining the trees has compromised his
time, which Deeg said is a fulltime position, there is a pull to
bonsai trees that Deeg cant
shake.
The problem with bonsai is
that you get one, then you get two
and then you go to bed at night and
wake up and there are three you
dont know where it comes from,

A spending plan rife with money

for public schools signed by Gov.
Jerry Brown drew the praise of education officials, who commended
the direction to allocate billions
more dollars to benefit public

Brown signed the $115.4 billion budget Wednesday, June 24,
officially enacting the agreement
reached between lawmakers late
last week.
The budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year sets aside $68.4 billion
for kindergarten through 12thgrade and community colleges students, which education officials

Showtime for San Bruno theater demolition

Developer: Work on luxury apartment project should begin next month
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A keystone of downtown San Bruno is

slated for a major transformation, as the
former home of the El Camino Theater will
soon be demolished to make way for the
construction of a luxury apartment building.
The San Bruno City Council received a
presentation from officials with the Sares
Regis Group, the firm that will redevelop
the property at 406 San Mateo Ave., during its meeting Tuesday, June 23.
Drew Hudacek, chief investment officer
with Sares Regis, said there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday, July 15,
to recognize kicking off demolition of the
1-acre site, and construction of the 83-unit
apartment project will begin soon after.
The development company purchased
the long-stagnant property for more than
$10 million last month, with plans to
construct a three-story building that will
house high-end apartments, above a parking garage and 7,000 square feet of retail
space at the street level.
The council had unanimously approved
constructing the complex last October, but
building plans stalled under the previous
property owner.
But Hudacek said his company is ready
to move full-speed ahead on demolition
and construction, with intent to finish the
development in 2017.
We are looking forward to bringing this
project to fruition, he said.
Demolition could begin as soon as
Thursday, July 16, when a large claw
attached to a backhoe will begin tearing
down the buildings still standing on the
former cinema property.
City officials lauded the beginning of
work on the project, as many have
expressed anticipation for seeing the large
site redeveloped into a crown jewel for the
gateway of the citys downtown.
This is a big anchor to the south end of
San Mateo Avenue, said Mayor Jim
Ruane. We are really looking forward to
it.
The project is set to fulfill the citys
vision of developing more transit-oriented
housing, as the site is nearly a mile away

from the Caltrain station, and less than
two miles away from the BART station.
Officials with Sares Regis had said the
proximity to a variety of public transportation options is one of the main reasons the property interested the development company.
The groundwork for the cinema project
was laid by residents passing Measure N in
November, which allowed for increasing
the citys building height limit from 50
feet to 90 feet near the Caltrain station,
and lesser heights in surrounding areas.
Officials have said they are hopeful the
project would be the first of many upscale
developments to spring up in San Bruno,
which could offer housing to employees of
notable technology companies headquartered locally, such as YouTube and Walmart
eCommerce.
The cinema development is one of a
variety which officials are eyeing in an
effort to rejuvenate downtown.
The council passed a plan in 2013 to
inject life into the citys transit corridor
surrounding El Camino Real, which aims
at bringing more housing, new businesses
and taller buildings to San Bruno.
As part of that same effort, the city has
also targeted building a 131-room hotel
with 3,000 square feet of meeting space on
a city-owned lot at 1050 Admiral Court,
near El Camino Real, south of Jacks
Restaurant and north of Interstate 380.

The effort to raise $6 million in matching donations is closer to its goal with a

Dame de Namur University.
The recent donation by Bob and Marie
Damreall, class of 1957, helps the university just past the $3 million mark in its

in November 2014 with the condition that
it be raised by the end of this year.
Built in 1868, Ralston Hall was the summer home of financier William Ralston,
who used the mansion to entertain influential individuals who could contribute to the
growth of California and the western part
of the country. It became the home for then
College of Notre Dame in 1923. Before its

A Belmont man was injured Wednesday

morning when he was struck by a car, while
riding his bicycle across Alameda de las

At approximately 8:40 a.m., Belmont

The bicyclist, who was not wearing a
helmet, was treated at the scene by
Belmont Fire Department paramedics and
was transported to the hospital with
injuries that were not life-threatening. The
driver of the Jetta was not injured, according to police.
While the investigation is still ongoing, it appears that the driver of the Jetta
had stopped for the stop sign on southbound Alameda at Carlmont Drive. The
bicyclist began to cross Alameda, westbound in the crosswalk, and was not seen
by the driver. When the driver began to
proceed, he struck the bicyclist, according
to police.

Boston Marathon bomber

says hes sorry for first time
By Denise Lavoie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Moments before a judge sentenced him to death, Boston Marathon

bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev broke more than
two years of silence Wednesday and apologized to the victims and their loved ones for
the first time. I pray for your relief, for
your healing, he said.
I am sorry for the lives that Ive taken,
for the suffering that Ive caused you, for the
damage that Ive done irreparable damage, the 21-year-old former college student, speaking haltingly in his Russian
accent, said after rising to his feet in the
hushed federal courtroom.
After Tsarnaev said his piece, U.S. District
Judge George OToole Jr. quoted
Shakespeares line The evil that men do
lives after them. The good is often interred
with their bones.
So it will be for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the

judge said, telling Tsarnaev that no one will

remember that his teachers were fond of
him, that his friends found him fun to be
with or that he showed compassion to disabled people.
What will be remembered is that you murdered and maimed innocent people and that
you did it willfully and intentionally,
OToole said.
Tsarnaev looked down and rubbed his
hands together as the judge pronounced his
fate: execution, the punishment decided on
by the jury last month for the attack that
killed three people and wounded more than
260.
The apology came after Tsarnaev listened
impassively for about three hours as a procession of 24 victims and survivors lashed
out at him for his cowardly and disgusting acts and urged him to show some
remorse at long last.
Tsarnaev assured the victims he was paying attention.

Republicans push back against

proposed dietary guidelines
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Congressional
Republicans are pushing back against proposed dietary guidelines that urge Americans
to consider the environment when deciding
what foods to eat.
House and Senate spending bills say the
guidelines must focus only on nutrition and
diet. Thats a clear effort to thwart a recommendation by the Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee that eating a diet higher in vegetables and other plant-based foods
is better for the environment than eating a
diet based more on foods from animals.
The advice from a government advisory
panel of independent doctors and nutrition

experts has raised the ire of the meat industry.

The dietary guidelines come out every five
years, and the government advice informs
everything from school lunches and food
package labels to advice from your doctor.
The departments of Agriculture and Health
and Human Services are expected to issue a
final version by years end based on the advisory committees February recommendations.
While the guidelines always have been
subject to intense lobbying by food industries, this years version has set off unprecedented political debate, fueled by
Republicans claims the Obama administration has gone too far in telling people what
to eat.

SACRAMENTO Federal officials said

Wednesday another $150 million would be
provided to aid California drought aid programs.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
said the funding continues efforts to relieve
the nations top agriculture producing state
during its fourth dry year.
The funding includes:
$130 million to support conservation
and restoration along the Sierra Nevada and
its surrounding forests. The snow on the
mountains usually provides a third of
Californias water, though its virtually gone
this year.
The headwaters help provide drinking water
to 25 million Californians and irrigate farms
in the agriculture-rich Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys.
Vilsack told reporters on a conference
call that protecting national forests are key
to preserving water resources. Expanding
meadows and cutting down trees helps clear
the path for snow to melt into streams and
rivers, eventually making its way into
farmland and reservoirs. Restoration can
also ensure enough space for snow to stay
on trees and meadows to also melt slowly

into groundwater basins.
$14 million to help ranchers get water for
cattle. Vilsack said the funding could provide
access to more water-efficient wells and
pipelines.
$6 million for programs helping rural
communities gain access to drinking water.
Many are dealing with dried up wells or contaminated supplies during the drought.

Proponents push for Caltrain extension

By Hannah Albarazi
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Environmentalists and transit enthusiasts are urging San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
to prioritize a ballot measure that passed in
1999 that required an extension of the
Caltrain line to the Transbay Terminal in
downtown San Francisco.
The passage of the 1999 ballot measure,
known then as Proposition H, required that
Caltrain be extended to the Transbay
Terminal and prohibited the city from taking any actions that would conflict with
extension.
Alex Doniach, a spokeswoman for the
Mission Bay Alliance, a nonprofit group
that wants to see the Caltrain downtown
extension brought to fruition, and also
stands unwaveringly against the proposed
Golden Gate Warriors stadium, said San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee should honor the
original Downtown Rail Extension (DTX)
agreement.
Transit enthusiasts from groups such as
the Train Riders Association of California,
Bay Rail Alliance, Friends of Caltrain,
Transportation Solutions Defense and
Education Fund, and the Coalition of San
Francisco neighbors, among others, gathered outside City Hall today to urge the
mayor not to postpone the DTX project any
longer.
The 1999 measure, however, did not set a
strict timeline for construction of the project, resulting in years of postponement by
elected officials.
Doniach said the proposed 18,500-seat
Warriors arena, which could be built at 16th
and Third streets, next to University of
California at San Franciscos newly constructed medical center on the Mission Bay
campus, could be disastrous and cause
traffic congestion that could negatively
impact the medical center and the neighborhood.
She said San Francisco voters approved

the DTX project but that

Lee hasnt supported the
project to route Caltrain
from Fourth and King
streets to the new
Transbay Transit Center
at First and Mission
streets, as the ballot
measure instructs the city
to do.
Ed Lee
Instead, transit supporters say the mayor has plans to possibly reroute Caltrain through Mission Bay
to the site of the proposed arena.
Transit enthusiasts, however, say the
extension should no longer be postponed
since the amount of residents and commuters is growing rapidly and that congestion and air pollution is also growing.
They say it would take cars off the road
and alleviate congestion at BARTs
Embarcadero and Montgomery stations.
According to the Transbay Joint Powers
Authority, the lead agency on the DTX, the
plan calls for a 1. 3-mile underground
extension from Fourth and King streets to
the new downtown Transit Center, but
gives virtually no timeframe for its creation.
Mark Simon, Caltrains executive officer
of public affairs, said, We think the downtown extension is a good idea and one that
has been sought by the city and Caltrain for
many decades.
Extending Caltrain into downtown will
save commuters almost an hour a day in
travel time, and will result in less driving
and more people taking the train into the
city from the Peninsula, according to
Caltrain.
Caltrain spokesman Will Reisman said
Caltrains Environmental Impact Report
projects that the Caltrain system will be
carrying 111, 000 passengers a day by
2040, and that those projections assume
that the downtown extension project will
be built by then.

Howard Strassner, the San Francisco

transportation chair at the Sierra Club, said
he agrees that the extension would help
battle climate change by getting more commuters to their final destinations faster,
encouraging more people to leave their cars
at home.
Its too much to ask people to make two
transfers, Strassner said, explaining that
commuters from the Peninsula going to San
Francisco dont have easy access to downtown San Francisco.
Transit enthusiasts maintain that 16
years after San Francisco voters approved
the extension, it has been held up by various development projects.
They called on the mayor to expedite the
projects funding and construction.
Doniach said that the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for
the new stadium has just been released and
that the stadium has not yet been approved,
despite the mayors enthusiasm for it.
According to the Office of Community
Investment and Infrastructure Commission,
the Draft SEIR finds that implementation of
the proposed project would lead to significant, unavoidable impacts related to transportation and circulation, wind, noise and
air quality in the area.
Doniach said that Lees proposal to tear
down Interstate 280 in the city and reroute
Caltrain to Mission Bay would cost taxpayers billions of dollars and would be
designed only to accommodate the new
Golden State Warriors arena.
She said it would further postpone the
DTX project and cost the taxpayers significantly.
It is unacceptable, she said.
A public hearing by the citys Office of
Community Investment and Infrastructure
Commission is scheduled for 1 p.m. June
30 in Room 416 in City Hall at which time
comments from members of the public
regarding the Draft SEIR on the construction of the arena will be heard.

South Carolina honors

victims, Alabama lowers
four Confederate flags
By Seanna Adcox, Jeffery

Gov. Jerry Brown said the state budget will save billions of dollars and [pay] down debt, while directing more
resources to schools and low-income Californians.

Governor Brown signs California

budget with anti-poverty efforts
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry

Brown signed a spending plan
Wednesday that uses Californias
growing surplus to fund new initiatives aimed at providing relief to
the poor.
The new budget beginning next
month will establish an earned
income tax credit for working-poor
families, boost the number of statesubsidized child care slots and
expand state-funded health care coverage to children from low-income
families who are in the country illegally.
The state also will adopt an
amnesty program for residents who

cant afford to pay off spiraling

court fines and traffic penalties that
have resulted in 4.8 million drivers
license suspensions since 2006.
Brown announced the signing
with a brief message on Twitter. The
governor included a photo of himself with his fellow Democratic
leaders, Assembly Speaker Toni
Atkins of San Diego and Senate
President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of
Los Angeles.
A subsequent news release from
his office called it a balanced, ontime budget that saves billions of
dollars and pays down debt, while
directing more resources to schools
and low-income Californians.
Lawmakers passed a compromise
$115.4 billion budget last week to

meet Browns demands for fiscal

restraint by agreeing to use a lower
projection for state revenues.
Legislative leaders also got to fund
their priority social programs to
help those who have missed out on
the states economic recovery.
Atkins, in a statement, called the
result a prudent and progressive
budget that will make California a
better place to live, work and play.
The new budget, which totals
$167.6 billion when adding in special and bond funds, allocates billions more for schools from
kindergarten through community
college and channels additional
money to schools with high levels
of poor children and English-language learners.

COLUMBIA, S.C. State senator and pastor Clementa Pinckney

was carried Wednesday into the
Statehouse where he served the
people for nearly 20 years, becoming the first African-American
since Reconstruction to rest in
honor in the South Carolina
Rotunda. Hours later, his congregation returned to the scene of a
massacre, keeping up his work of
saving souls.
Meeting for Wednesday night
Bible study exactly one week after
Pinckney and eight others were
fatally shot, a crowd of people
packed
the
basement
of
Charlestons Emanuel African
Methodist Church where the shootings took place to show their faith
and restore their sanctuary.
Because of our faith we have
shown up once more again to
declare that Jesus lives and because
he lives, we can face tomorrow,
interim pastor Norvel Goff intoned
before a gathering that included
several family members of shooting victim Myra Thompson.
It is a powerful testimony that
they are able to come, Goff said of
Thompsons relatives, who were
applauded by others in the audience.
The killings appear to be creating waves of soul-searching that

are reverberating far beyond the

historic black church and the state
Capitol where Pinckneys widow
and two young daughters met his
horse-drawn carriage, evoking
memories of black and white
images of other slain civil rights
figures five decades earlier.
In state after state, the
Confederate symbols embraced by
the shooting suspect have suddenly come under official disrepute.
Gov. Nikki Haley started the
groundswell Monday by calling on
South Carolina lawmakers to
debate
taking
down
the
Confederate battle flag flying in
front of the Statehouse. But
Alabamas governor was able to
act much more swiftly, issuing an
executive order that brought down
four secessionist flags on
Wednesday.
In Montgomery, where the
Confederacy was formed 154 years
ago and where Jefferson Davis was
elected president, Gov. Robert
Bentley,
a
conservative
Republican, compared the banner
to the universally shunned symbols of Nazi Germany, a stunning
reversal in a region where the flag
has played a huge cultural role.
The iconic Confederate battle
flag in particular is offensive to
some people because unfortunately, its like the swastika; some
people have adopted that as part of
their hate-filled groups, Bentley
explained.

HARBOR
Continued from page 1
ties, which primarily include owning Pillar
Point Harbor and managing Oyster Point
Marina/Park, after a scathing civil grand
jury report entitled Whats the Price of
Dysfunction? recommending dissolution
last year.
But some argue a lot has changed since the
grand jury report and officials need time to
straighten their sails as they navigate a
slew of challenges.
The district, along with the public, has
until Friday to submit responses before
LAFCo staff finalizes the report and makes a
recommendation July 15.
The timing of the draft report and the
grand jury report triggering its development, have spurred the district to enter into
a transition period. Such transitions may
sometimes come with painful lessons
learned and progress is not always as
smooth or as quick as one would like,
according to the draft response.
Recent changes include a struggle to find
a new general manager, relocating its headquarters from South San Francisco back to
the coast and the boards former president,
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan, stepping
down after allegedly butting heads with the
interim general manager.
Tom Mattusch, president of the Board of
Commissioners, said while the district has
struggled in the past, its turning over a new
leaf and provides tremendous assets to the
community at large.
The thing we want to get across to the
public is that were doing things that were
long overdue and once we get the entire dis-

LOCAL
trict operating slightly more efficiently,
people are going to see change. Theyre
going to see results, Mattusch said. I
think this particular response gives a legal
grounded response on how valuable the
Harbor District is and why its important to
keep it like it is. But also presents, from an
operational standpoint, how things are
going to be improved compared to what
they were before.
Regardless of LAFCos municipal service
review, the report may offer little weight if
a successor agency doesnt agree to take
over with the county Board of Supervisors,
a city or large number of voters initiating
dissolution proceedings.
Despite its wide range of responsibilities
that include operating an RV park, maintaining two recreational trails, running the
countys only emergency water rescue team
and more, the district has been criticized for
taking more than $5 million in property
taxes to help supplement non-enterprise
activities like supporting a commercial harbor.
Among their protests, commissioners
say the districts expertise cannot be replicated by the countys Parks Department,
that all special districts rely on tax revenue
and that other entities may not be able to
perform the same duties at a lesser cost.
The LAFCo municipal services review is
definitely a wake-up call and its lessons
learned for us as a Harbor District. However,
I still believe that the Harbor District
should not be dissolved because of the services it provides for the county and visitors,
said Commissioner Robert Bernardo. With
all do respect to the county and the great
work they do, I just dont feel this is within
their purview of expertise. Operating parks
and recreation is different than harbor operations.
The district argues that while the county
Merian, a member of the group and 20-year
Belmont resident. We believe that the
process was rushed, that we didnt get a
chance to examine the overall impact
because theres so many of them. So
whether youre for or against, this is about
having a voice in this process.

maintains a harbor at Coyote Point in San

Mateo, it doesnt allow liveaboards and
receives less from slip fees than the district
does at its two facilities in Half Moon Bay
and South San Francisco.
Brennan and Mattusch argue the district
provides numerous benefits to the public
including maintaining Pillar Point Harbor,
which has grown as a recreational tourist
destination and boosts the local economy.
Whats very important for everyone to
understand is the enterprise and non-enterprise functions performed by the district,
its important for the public to see the value
this district brings not just to the county,
but the whole Bay Area, Mattusch said.
The tourism aspect has never been quantified and we are working actively on that
now. Its something thats never been
done.
Furthermore, in a county where rental and
home costs are skyrocketing, the district
essentially offers affordable housing
options by maintaining harbors that allow
people to live on their boats, Brennan said.
But some councilmembers argue the nearly year-long process, which included 10
public meetings and about 70 public speakers, was robust.
Some also fear the group misrepresented
the ordinances and impact the referendum
would have when presenting it to residents.
Ive been extremely disturbed by some of
the tactics Ive heard about the petition
gatherers using. Its important that the facts
are portrayed honestly and openly and from
what Ive heard, theres been quite a lot of
information spread. I truly hope thats not
the case, said Councilman Charles Stone.
Michael ONeill, a member of the group
who gathered nearly 300 signatures, said
the underlying theme he found was that
most residents were unaware of the ordinances and wanted a chance to weigh in.
When people learned about it, they were
very willing to sign and I think we represented it clearly to people so whether they
agree with the changes or not, they wanted
to get up to speed, they wanted to have their
own voice heard and be part of the determination. So this is a citizens movement for
democracy to work and the citizens to take
control of their own destiny rather than five
people taking control, ONeill said,
adding only about one in 20 with whom he
spoke were even aware of the changes.
Vice Mayor Eric Reed, who helped develop the changes along with Stone on a council subcommittee, said while he respects
residents rights, hes concerned opponents
are simply fearful of change. With two longtime former councilmembers stepping down
in 2014, Reed and Stone won their seats
while running on a more progressive platform.
I very much support the fact that people
have a right to petition their government.
But when the voters of Belmont see what
the benefit these changes have, I think
theyll fully support them, Reed said.
This council is breaking with past councils policies and I think that is not always
going to be the easiest process, to move
Belmont forward. This council is a council that was selected, I think, with the
vision of change and the people who are
behind the petition, dont want to see that
change.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The report also fails to fully investigate
the magnitude of deferred maintenance as
well as debt a successor agency must be
willing to accede and offers few options for
solutions other than dissolution, Brennan
said.
In general, were at a point where all of
our infrastructure has reached the end of its
life span, so theres a significant investment that needs to be put in upgrading and
modernizing and addressing deferred maintenance. And these are things that cannot be
ignored, especially at Pillar Point Harbor.
So whomever, if there was an interested
agency lets say the county, there would be
significant cost investment with taking it
on. So there would Im sure need to be a lot
more investigation in what exactly would
be involved, Brennan said.
With the district still searching for new
permanent general manager after its longtime leader retired, commissioners are
hopeful finding a replacement and finishing
its Strategic Business Plan will help implement some of LAFCos recommendations.
Until then, officials hope they can stave
off dissolution and prove to the public it can
move past its dysfunction.
I think theres a lot of really worthwhile
information included in the [LAFCo report],
so I dont want to downplay the information
provided in that, I think its valuable,
Brennan said. But I think theres some key
points regarding changes that have occurred
in the last five months since the last election that have not been included or considered and I think that does a disservice to the
transition process. I think its unrealistic to
expect that the district is going to transform overnight. Reform takes time.
Visit www.sanmateolafco.org to rev iew
the report or submit comments.
Stone agreed adding the ordinances were
heavily reviewed by staff, the Planning and
Parks and Recreation commissions and
there was ample time for the public to participate.
These are ordinances designed to help
families stay in their homes in Belmont and
accommodate growing families. They are
not going to have any substantial environmental impact on the community, as shown
by a lengthy staff report and analysis,
Stone said. The modernization of these
ordinance was long overdue and will help
make the process of improving homes in
Belmont more efficient, predictable and
fair.
The City Council must convene and decide
which route to ultimately go and city officials were counting the petitions and unable
to confirm as of Wednesday evening the
exact amount of signatures turned in. The
San Mateo County Elections Office must
also examine the petitions to confirm the
requisite number of voters signed them.
Depending on the method the Elections
Office uses, it may have as little as 30 business days to reply, according to City
Attorney Scott Rennie.
However, ONeill said they needed just
one-tenth of eligible voters to sign, which
would amount to about 1,400, and the group
collected more than 2,200 signatures.
ONeill said he hopes the council will
place the referendums on the November ballot.
They want to have their voices heard.
This is something that affects homeowners
and they should have their voices heard,
ONeill said. So I think going to the polls,
I think is a good idea because its democracy
and I think thats been usurped in this
instance.

major win on trade

Barack Obama announces a change in U.S. policy in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

Obama: U.S. government has

let down hostages families
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama conceded Wednesday that the U.S.
government had let down the families of
Americans held hostage by terrorists and
promised they would not face criminal prosecution for paying ransoms to their loved
ones captors.
These families have already suffered
enough and they should never feel ignored
or victimized by their own government,
Obama said as he detailed the results of a
six-month review of U.S. hostage policy.
The president said for the first time that
U.S. government officials can communicate
directly with terrorists and help families
negotiate for the release of hostages. More
than 30 Americans are being held hostage
abroad, White House officials said.
The review was sparked by sharp criticism
of the Obama administration from families
of Americans kidnapped by the Islamic
State, al-Qaida and other groups. Families
have complained about receiving confusing
and contradictory information from the
government and bristled at threats of prose-

Finger-pointing starting in
blame for government hack
WASHINGTON Finger-pointing burst
into the open on Capitol Hill Wednesday
over blame for hacking into the U.S. governments personnel records, which the
chairman of a House oversight committee
said might affect as many as 32 million current and former employees and others.
The head of the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management,
Katherine
Archuleta,
acknowledged to lawmakers that she was
responsible for keeping the files safe but
blamed the hackers, and an executive disputed an official account that hackers had used

cution for considering paying terrorists to

secure the release of hostages.
By clearing the way for payment of ransom without fear of criminal charges,
Obama is essentially allowing families to
take actions the U.S. government has long
said put Americans at risk. While the government will continue to abide by prohibitions on paying ransoms or making other
concessions to terrorists, the Justice
Department indicated it would ignore the
law in situations involving families.
European governments routinely pay ransom to win the release of hostages.
However, Obama and his predecessors have
argued that policy provides terrorists with

Americans at greater risk of kidnapping.
Critics of the White House review argue
that allowing families to do what the government will not could lead to those same
troubling consequences.
We have had a policy in the United States
for over 200 years of not paying ransom and
not negotiating with terrorists, said House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The concern that I have is that by lifting that longheld principle you could be endangering
more Americans here and overseas.

For Archuleta, it was the latest appearance
before angry lawmakers demanding answers
about the personal information, including
information used for background investigations for those seeking a security clearance.
Some lawmakers have urged the White
House to fire her.
House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, a
Utah Republican, said Wednesday he had no
confidence in Archuleta.

WASHINGTON In a triumph of divided

government, the Republican-controlled
Congress passed major trade legislation
Wednesday that was long-sought by
President Barack Obama but vehemently
opposed by most lawmakers in his party.
The measure to strengthen Obamas hand
in global trade talks cleared the Senate on a
vote of 60-38, and will go to the White
House for his signature less than two
weeks after it was temporarily derailed in the
House in an uprising of Democratic lawmakers who argued it would cost American jobs.
A companion bill, to renew an expiring
program of federal aid for workers disadvantaged by imports, passed by voice vote less
than an hour later. Final approval in the
House is expected on Thursday.
The rapid sequence of events capped the
end of a back-and-forth struggle that played
out slowly over months, with Obama,
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
on one side, and the union-backed
Democratic leadership of the House and
Senate on the other.
The pace accelerated dramatically less
than two weeks ago, when House Democrats
prevailed in an early showdown that sent the
White House and congressional GOP leaders
into a rescue operation.
On Wednesday, McConnell, a frequent
Obama antagonist, praised the president and
Democrats who joined the GOP on the bipartisan measure vigorously sought by the
nations chief executive.

We were really pleased

to see President Obama
pursue an idea weve long
believed in, McConnell
said. We thank him for
his efforts to help us pass
a bill to advance it.
The measure would
allow Obama to negotiate
John Boehner global trade deals that
Congress could approve
or reject, but not change.
The administration was
seeking the fast track
as it works to complete a
round of trade negotiations involving 12
nations along both sides
of the Pacific Ocean,

his second term. He is
bracing for a Supreme Court ruling on his
landmark health care law, and next weeks

The trade bill drew the support of 47
Republicans and 13 Democrats, while 31
Democrats, five Republicans and two independents were opposed. Republican Sen.
Mike Lee of Utah missed the vote, as did
GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio of
Florida.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee, hailed the
measure as the most important bill that
will pass the Senate this year, and one that
will prove to be an aid to the economy.

Can Marriage Exist Between

Science And Religion?

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

Some
say
that
science and religion
dont mix. Some
say that science is
the ultimate search
for God. Some say
religion supersedes
science, some say both have equal stature
and others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of the
correlation between science and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with the
aspiration of science is to explain the
universe and answer questions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychological
needs when dealing with the realities of
death. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based on
human curiosity and the need to find
answers. Whether a person is repetitively
reading religious scripture, or fascinated by
repeatable scientific experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answer
questions about the universe around us.
It can be debated that early humans
turned to religion as a way to alleviate their
fears and gain reassurance with the concept
of life after death. This helped to give them
a sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious.
Eventually
scientific realization evolved along side
religion and the process of trial and error
established itself as a way to solve some of
these mysteries. Firethe wheelfarming.
The more humans observed the world they
lived in, the more they leaned how the
natural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over the
centuries religious power came at odds with
scientific discovery, which led to a period of

scientific stagnation: The Dark Ages.

Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,
astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroads
where religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientific
processes.
One prime example is the
Vaticans
Pontifical
Academy
of
Sciences. Quoting John Paul II: ...today
eminent scientists are members a visible
sign of the profound harmony that can
exist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith.... Gregor Mendel, the father
of Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much of
the Big Bang Theory, was a Belgian priest.
Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a fingerprint, and every human
brain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious cap
or your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,
close your eyes, examine your deep
thoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment finely attuned to both.

NEW YORK Stocks retreated

Wednesday, erasing all of the weeks
earlier gains, as negotiations between
Greece and its creditors seemed no closer to reaching a resolution.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 178 points, or 1 percent, to
17,966.07. The Standard & Poors 500
index lost 15.62 points, or 0.7 percent,
to 2,108.58 and the Nasdaq composite
lost 37.68 points, or 0.7 percent, to
5,122.41.
Investors had been hopeful earlier in
the week that the Greece problem was
reaching the finish line, but those
hopes diminished as Wednesday wore
on. European finance ministers cut
short a meeting on Greeces proposals,
citing major policy differences. They
plan to meet again Thursday. Greek
stocks fell 2 percent.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras criticized the International Monetary Fund
as being needlessly picky about the
reforms Greece had proposed. Creditors
are demanding, among other things, a
freeze on pensions, scrapping some
proposed taxes and surcharges on business, and higher sales tax on some
goods.
Greece needs an agreement by June
30, when a key debt payment is due to

the IMF. In a worst-case scenario, a

Greek default could potentially lead to
Greece abandoning the euro.
Greece has to be the slowest moving
train wreck in financial history; but in a
way, its a good thing because if Greece
had failed in 2012 wed be in a much
more dire situation, said Jack Ablin,
chief investment officer at BMO Private
Bank, which oversees $66 billion in
Chicago.
Investors also remain focused on
when the U.S. Federal Reserve might
increase its key interest rate for the first
time in nearly a decade. Fed Governor
Jerome Powell said at an event on
Tuesday that he expects the U.S. central
bank to begin raising its benchmark
interest rate in September, with a second rate rise coming in December.
The expectations of an interest rate
increase rose after a report released
Wednesday showed that the U.S. economy contracted less than previously
thought in the first three months of the
year. The Commerce Department said
first quarter GDP fell 0.2 percent, compared with its previous estimate of 0.7
percent.
U.S. government bond prices rose.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.37 percent from 2.40 percent
the day before.
Among individual stocks, Sysco rose
$1.16, or 3 percent, to $38.75 after a

federal judge ruled that the food distribution company could not merge with
rival US Foods. The Federal Trade
Commission had sued to block the deal
in February.
Homebuilder Lennar rose $2.06, or 4
percent, to $51.06 after the company
reported results that beat analysts
expectations. Other home builders such
as Pulte, D.R. Horton and Toll Brothers
also rose.
In energy trading, the price of oil fell
after the Energy Department reported
an increase in stockpiles of gasoline
and diesel in its weekly inventory
report. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 74
cents to close at $60.27 a barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
96 cents to close at $63.49 a barrel in
London.
In other trading on the NYMEX,
wholesale gasoline fell 2.1 cents to
close at $2.056 a gallon. Heating oil
fell 3.5 cents to close at $1.876 a gallon. Natural gas rose 3.3 cents to close
at $2.759 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In metals trading, gold closed down
$3.70 to $1,172.90 an ounce. Silver
rose 12 cents to $15.85 an ounce and
copper rose a penny to $2.62 a pound.
The euro rose to $1.1199. The dollar

currency at 123.88 yen.

Economy not as bad in first quarter, paving way for rebound

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy contracted in the first three months of the year,
just not as much as previously estimated.
More recent data show that the weakness
was largely temporary, with a rebound in the
works for the April-June quarter.
The economy, as measured by the gross
domestic product, shrank at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 0.2 percent from
January through March, the Commerce
Department said Wednesday. Thats better

than last months estimate of a 0.7 percent

decrease.
Harsh winter weather slowed spending by
keeping consumers away from shopping
malls and auto dealerships. The trade deficit
ballooned, slicing growth by the most since
1985 as exports fell and imports rose.
Yet consumers stepped up their spending
in May, and home sales are climbing
signs that the economy is back on track. In
addition, many of the headwinds the economy faced in the first quarter from an
increase in the dollars value to spending
cutbacks by oil drillers are fading.

Growth should remain near 3 percent in

the second half of the year as the dampening
effects of a strong dollar and oil industry
slump fade, Sal Guatieri, an economist at
BMO Capital Markets, said in a note to
clients.
Forecasting
firm
Macroeconomic
Advisors predicts growth will reach 2.7 percent in the second quarter. And many economists agree with Guatieri that growth should
reach 3 percent in the second half of the
year.
Still, that would leave growth in the first
half at a weak 1.2 percent annual rate. The

European deal creates U.S. grocery giant

By Mike Corder
and Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The owner of Stop &

Shop and Giant will tie up with the parent company of Food Lion, creating a
$29 billion grocer that will be in a
stronger position to compete with
Wal-Mart and other discount retailers.
The deal, which would create the
fourth largest grocer in the U.S., is the
latest in a series of buyouts and mergers that has major players bulking up
to carve out market share in an industry
that has grown intensely competitive.
Shoppers may be the biggest winners as the bargaining power of grocers grows along with their size, said

Get to Know Your

Euromonitor retail analyst Tim

Barrett.
The latest tie up is between the Dutch
retailer Royal Ahold NV and its rival,
Belgiums Delhaize Group. Yet the
combined company, to be called Ahold
Delhaize, will generate about 61 percent of its revenue in the U.S.
In addition to Stop & Shop and
Giant, Royal Ahold owns the Martins
supermarket chain and online grocer
Peapod in the U.S. In Europe, it owns
Albert Heijn stores. Food Lion and
Hannaford are Delhaizes best-known
brands in the U.S. It operates the
Delhaize and Tempo chains overseas.
Together, Ahold Delhaize, will have
more than 6,500 stores around the
world and it would cater to 50 million

customers a week in the U. S. and

Europe.
Though grocers have grown larger,
the grocery sector has become fragmented, with stores like Whole Foods
hitting the high end, and Wal-Mart and
Dollar General coming in low.
That has left more traditional grocers fighting for the massive customer
base that lies in between. As those
grocers grow and their leverage
increases, they can demand more from
food and beverage supplies, said
Euromonitors Barrett.
They are likely to pass on the savings to customers in a bid to take back
market share from Wal-Mart, dollar
stores and other discount retailers, said
Barrett.

economy appears to be on track for another

year of modest 2 percent to 2.5 percent
growth.
Thats far below the optimism at the
beginning of the year, when lower oil prices
and healthy hiring led many economists to
forecast growth above 3 percent. The economy hasnt reached that level in a decade.
Exports were hammered in the first quarter
by a sharp rise in the dollars value, which
makes U.S. goods more expensive overseas.
The dollar has strengthened 15 percent in
the past year compared with a basket of
other currencies.

Business briefs
Disney will pay two
dividends a year; boosts payment rate
NEW YORK Disney says it will pay dividends twice a
year instead of once, and increased its dividend rate.
The company said Wednesday it will pay a dividend of 66
cents on July 29. The payment will go to shareholders of
record as of July 6. At that rate, it would pay $1.32 in annual dividends, up almost 15 percent over a year ago.
The Burbank-based company paid an annual dividend of
$1.15 in January.
The Walt Disney Co. had a strong year in 2014 thanks to
popular movies like Frozen, which came out in late 2013,
along with sales of toys and other merchandise and solid
results from its theme parks and media networks. This
spring Avengers: Age of Ultron did more than $1 billion
at the box office, and in December Disney is set to release
Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens, the first Star
Wars film in a decade, following its acquisition of
Lucasfilm in 2012.
Shares of Disney have risen 38 percent over the last year.
Its shares finished at $113.77 on Wednesday, down 64
cents. The dividend hike was announced after the close. Its
shares rose 62 cents to $114.39 in after-hours trading.

Airbnb looks to expand

U.S. searching for offense heading into World Cup quarterfinals

By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDMONTON, Alberta The United States

is still looking for its offense at the
Womens World Cup even though its stellar
defense has it three wins from a title.
Despite glimpses of the formidable attack
that the United States has been known for in
the past, the Americans have just six goals
in their four tournament matches. Topranked Germany has 19.

Players say theyre

happy to be in the quarterfinals but dont think
theyve shown their best
yet. Theyve still won.
At the end of the day,
we all know were not
playing our best football, midfielder Carli
Lloyd admitted, and
Carli Lloyd
were still finding ways
to win. I think thats the history of this
team is no matter if its good, bad, we still

find a way to get it done.

The second-ranked Americans play China
on Friday in Ottawa in the first World Cup
meeting between the two teams since the
1999 final, which the U.S. won on penalty
kicks. China, ranked No. 16, has five goals
through four matches.
The search for offense is more complicated now that midfielders Megan Rapinoe and
Lauren Holiday wont be available against
China because of accumulated yellow cards.
Christen Press will likely start for
Rapinoe, who has been one of the most

effective players in the tournament with two

goals against Australia in the opener.
Morgan Brian is expected to stand in for
Holiday.
Lloyd expressed optimism despite frustrations.
Ive got full confidence and faith in
everyone that well eventually find our
rhythm, she said. Were working, were
grinding. The efforts there. We just need to
kind of put it all together on the field.

Bortolins 9 RBIs pace Post 82 Rugby has

a new fan

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Have a day Angelo Bortolin. And while

youre at it, have a day San Mateo Post 82.
The San Mateo American Legion squad put a
22-2 thumping on Redwood City Post 105
Wednesday at Woodside High, and Bortolin
was the catalyst. The Shockers No. 3 hitter
batted with the bases loaded three times, and
each time he delivered. All told, Bortolin fell
a triple short of the cycle, going 4 for 4 with
nine RBIs, including a third-inning grand
slam. He fell just short of his season total of
10 RBIs at Serra in the spring.
The Shockers scored in every inning of the
mercy-rule shorted five-inning affair, with
every batter in their lineup tabbing a hit. As a
team, San Mateo totaled 17 hits on the game.
We always hit pretty good, but that was a
lot of runs, Bortolin said.
Bortolins performance at the plate has
been on an interesting trajectory in 2015.
Following his sophomore season at Serra in
2014 as an All-West Catholic Athletic League
first-team selection, the third baseman
endured a stone-cold rut early in his junior
year.
After starting the year hitting safely in his
first six games, Bortolin went hitless
through his next nine. He got cooking over
the last six weeks of the season, hitting ,415
(17 for 41) over his last 13 games, raising his
season average to .310. But his no home runs
and 10 RBIs paled in comparison to his winning two legs of the team triple crown as a
sophomore, when he hit six home runs and
batted in 29.
I feel like I hit a lot of ball hard and they
got caught, Bortolin said of his nine-game
hitless streak. I went 0 for 25, or something
like that, but I was able to turn it around in
[WCAL play].
Wednesday, Bortolin got San Mateo on the
board in the top of the first. With the first
three pitches of the game, the Shockers had
three batters reach base. Leadoff hitter Nick
Thompson was hit by the first pitch of the
game and Matt Seubert followed with a clean
single to left on the following pitch.
Bortolin then hit what looked like a tailormade double-play ball to shortstop, but the

Chicago Little League team suing over stripped title

By Don Babwin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO A former Chicago Little

League team announced a lawsuit Wednesday
against the sports governing body, accusing it of improperly stripping the young
athletes of the national title that made them
hometown heroes and nationally known
and refusing to provide the information used
to make the stunning decision.
The attorney for Jackie Robinson West
said during a news conference that he

believed some of what Little League

International has claimed that some of
the players did not live within local league
boundaries. But he added that he thought the
team was unfairly singled out for scrutiny,
in part, because all of its players are black.
Do I think race is at play? Yes, I do think
that its at play at some level, said Victor
Henderson, as members of the team and
their parents and coaches sat and stood
behind him. Do I think thats the only reason? No, I do not.
The lawsuit is the latest chapter of what
started as an uplifting and inspirational

story about the South Side Chicago team

and how it defeated opponent after opponent, including Las Vegas to capture the
national crown at the Little League World
Series. It fell to South Korea in the world
championship game.
Fans in Chicago turned out by the thousands to watch the games on large screens.
And when it was over, the players were treated to a massive parade downtown, a trip to
the White House to meet President Barack
Obama and another trip to San Francisco to
watch the World Series.b
Then in February came the announcement

that Little League International was stripping the team of its title, suspending its
manager and suspending the team from
Little League tournament play until the
local league replaced its president and treasurer after determining the boundaries of the
league had been falsified so that ineligible
players could be added to the roster.
Henderson, who was hired by Jackie
Robinson West to conduct an investigation, said his efforts have been stonewalled
by Little League International.

about whats best for Monta.
Ellis was set to make $8.7 million
in the final year of a three-year, $25

Comeback kids!
After falling in Game 1, Virginia wins
College World Series championship
By Eric Olson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OMAHA, Neb. Six weeks ago, it looked

as though Virginia might not even qualify for
its conference tournament, let alone the
NCAA Tournament.
Look at the Cavaliers now.
Theyre national champions for the first
time in baseball after finishing a magnificent
postseason run with a 4-2 victory over
Vanderbilt on Wednesday night.
Freshman Pavin Smith homered and drove
in three runs and Brandon Waddell turned in
another strong College World Series pitching
performance. The Cavaliers (44-24) prevailed
in the CWS finals rematch against the defending champion Commodores and won the
Atlantic Coast Conferences first title in
baseball since Wake Forest in 1955.

recent Serra grad, also anchored the left side
with Bortolin with the Padres.
Riley who plans to play at powerhouse
Delta College next season had a big day at
the plate as well, going 2 for 2 with a threerun home run in the fourth and five RBIs.
On the mound, four Shockers arms combined
to allow just no earned run on two hits.
Starting pitcher Matt Stevens was solid
through two innings, allowing one unearned
run to tab the win. Brendan Simpson allowed
one unearned run through the third. Then the
recently graduated Carlmont tandem of Joe
Pratt and Ryan Giberton combined to set down
the last six batters of the game to close it out.
There were few Redwood City highlights,
though center fielder Brad Degnan had two
spectacle moments, as the recent College of
San Mateo freshman is prone to do.
In the third inning, Riley tabbed a sacrifice
fly to center, but only because Degnans
laser-beam one-hop throw to the plate two

steps ahead of base runner Aaron Albaum

was not fielded cleanly by the catcher.
Hes got a really great arm, Redwood City
right fielder Blake Carbonneau said. When he
caught that ball, I figured he would throw
[Albaum] out. When runners are tagging or
on a ball in the gap, hell always come up
throwing. Even his throws in between innings
warming up, hes always on the money.
In the bottom of the inning, Degnan locked
up with Simpson for a 15-pitch at-bat before
striking out.
Redwood City catcher Thomas Kervick left
the game in the fifth inning with a thumb
stinger on his catching hand. His departure
was merely precautionary, according to Post
105 coach Tink Reynoso.
Hell be OK, Reynoso said. Hes fine.
Next up for San Mateo is a twin bill Saturday
against San Bruno Joe DiMaggio at Lara Field
starting at 10 a.m. Redwood City travels to
Palo Alto Legion Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

I have watched enough, however, to

notice some differences between American
broadcasts and those that come from these
rugby matches. Much like soccer broadcasts, there are no commercials during
rugby matches two 40-minute halves
with a halftime between. What I find fascinating about the broadcasts is that there is
no halftime show, which American sports
audiences are so used to during football,
basketball and soccer games.

Not only is there no halftime show, but

the cameras will simply stay on the field
while the teams are in the locker rooms
with no one talking, simply a fixed camera
on the field. Sometimes, the broadcast will
switch to a camera inside the locker room,
but again, no commentary. No interviews.
It almost feels like youre invading the
sanctity of the locker room.
And still no commercials.
Its kind of nice to see my wife thoroughly enjoy a sport because now I dont have
to feel so bad when I spend a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon watching the Giants or
49ers play.
Now, if I can just get my daughter into

Facing a Colombia team that was a player

down after the ejection of its goalkeeper,
Morgan finally broke through with a rightfooted goal. Lloyd later added a penalty kick
in the 2-0 victory.
Its a little bit of a sigh of relief,
Morgan said. As a forward, you always
want to score goals, youre expected to
score goals.
Colombias goalkeeper was sent off after
a foul on Morgan. Facing a hastily prepared
replacement, Abby Wambach looked like
shed get the Americans on the board with a
penalty kick. But she took the shot with her
left foot and it sailed wide.
Wambachs miss, as well as the lack of

scoring in the first half against a team

ranked at No. 28, pushed the scoring concerns to the forefront even though, in the
end, it was a win.
Defender Meghan Klingenberg said
Wednesday thats all that ultimately matters.
If we keep teams to zero goals and only
score one per game, I wouldnt say thats a
deficiency. I would say thats winning, she
said.
The United States has been saved by
defense, not allowing a goal in 333 minutes. The only team to score on the
Americans was Australia in the opener.
Hope Solo leads all goalkeepers at the

tournament with nine saves. And World Cup

rookie Julie Johnston has been a force on
the backline along with Becky Sauerbrunn,
who may be the teams best player in the
tournament so far.
I just think its good team defense,
Klingenberg said. Our forwards and our
midfielders, they make it predictable for the
backline so we can close in, shut down
space, take away options quickly.
Wambach, likely playing her last World
Cup, is confident the offense will come.
Moving on is the most important
thing, the 35-year-old said. I know we
need to score goals to move on, but we only
need to score one more than our opponent.

That bad hop seemed to open the flood

third, three in the fourth and seven in the
fifth. Bortolin added a three-run double in the
second. He also reached base twice in the fifth
when San Mateo sent 12 batters to the plate,

RBI single with the bases loaded later in the

Poseys slam lifts Giants past Padres

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Bruce Bochys plans

to get some more offense into the Giants
lineup likely means less time behind the plate
for Buster Posey.
San Franciscos All-Star catcher doesnt
mind the break.
With Andrew Susac starting at catcher and
batting seventh, Posey moved to first base
and hit his second grand slam in five games to
help San Francisco beat the San Diego Padres
6-0 on Wednesday night.
Susac added two hits and scored twice as the
Giants won at home for just the second time in
their last 12 games at AT&T Park.
He hasnt talked to me, but I have the
understanding, we have the understanding,
that its about winning games, Posey said.
Bochys been really good at his job for a
long time now and we all have trust in the
decisions he makes. Anybody whos seen this
team for a while knows were willing to
change the roles if it does help the team win.
Posey hit his 11th home run of the season on

a 2-2 pitch from San Diego

starter Ian Kennedy (4-6)
with two outs in the third
inning. That came two batters after Joe Paniks sacrifice fly drove in Susac.
Its Poseys fourth career
grand slam. He also hit one
against the Los Angeles
Buster Posey Dodgers on June 19.
Especially two strikes
there, Im just trying to stay short and hit a
line drive somewhere, Posey said.
Fortunately, it turned into a little more.
Ryan Vogelsong pitched six scoreless
innings for his second straight win.
Vogelsong (6-5) gave up five hits, struck out
four and walked two while helping San
Francisco to its majors-leading 12th shutout.
San Diegos Matt Kemp went 0 for 4 with
one strikeout while batting leadoff for the first
time since 2010.
Javier Lopez and George Kontos retired three
batters each, while Jean Machi pitched the
ninth for the Giants to complete the five-hitter.
Kennedy retired the first six hitters before

Susac reached on an error by third baseman

Will Middlebrooks. Gregor Blanco singled,
and after both runners were sacrificed over,
Angel Pagan walked to load the bases.
Panik followed with a sacrifice fly before
Poseys home run.
Susac tripled and scored in the fourth to
make it 6-0.
Vogelsong pitched out of a jam in the fourth
after walking the leadoff batter and giving up
a double to Justin Upton. Vogelsong got
Derek Norris to strike out looking, fielded
Will Venables comebacker to catch Yonder
Alonso in a rundown between third and home,
then got Middlebrooks to ground out.
Kennedy allowed six runs one earned
and five hits in six innings.

Trainers room
Leadoff hitter Nori Aoki was placed on the
15-disbled list with a small fracture in his
right leg. The move is retroactive to June 21.
Travis Ishikawa was called up from Triple-A
Sacramento to take Aokis roster spot.
Ishikawa hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win Game 5 of the

UmpiresHome, Dan Iassogna; First, Gabe Morales; Second, Dale Scott; Third, Lance Barrett.
T2:46. A34,216 (48,114).

ARLINGTON, Texas Brett Lawrie hit a

grand slam, Josh Phegley homered for the second night in a row and the Oakland Athletics
beat Texas 8-2 on Wednesday night for their
fourth straight victory.
Lawries third career slam made it 5-0 in the
first off Wandy Rodriguez (4-3), who had never
before faced the As in his 11-year major league
career. Oakland led 8-0 after two innings.
As rookie center fielder Billy Burns led off
each of the first two innings with doubles, and
scored both times on hits by Stephen Vogt.
Burns also singled in the third and has a 14game hitting streak, with hits in 26 of his last
27 games.
Kendall Graveman (4-4) allowed two runs
over seven innings. It was his fourth consecutive game to pitch at least seven innings while
allowing two runs or less, but the right-hander
had been 0-2 in the previous three.
Lawries slam went an estimated 422 feet,
landing in the As bullpen in left-center field.
Phegleys fifth homer of the season was a tworun shot in the second to make it 8-0.
Carlos Corporan had a two-run double for the
Rangers, who have lost four in a row for the
first time since April 27-May 1.
Texas had won its last six games started by

Rodriguez, who had allowed three runs or less

in each of those games. The lefty gave up 11
hits and eight runs while throwing 94 pitches
in four innings against Oakland.
Second base umpire Dale Scott sustained a
bruised left thigh and was out of the game for 2
1-2 innings after being struck by Lawries liner
with two outs in the fourth inning.
A Rangers trainer immediately went to check
on Scott. The crew chief walked gingerly off
the field after briefly conferring with the trainer. Scott grimaced in pain, but never left his
feet.
The umpires worked as a three-man crew until
Scott returned to the field for the start of the

seventh inning.
Earlier this month at Fenway Park in
Boston, a Massachusetts woman was struck on
the head by Lawries broken bat and hospitalized for a week.

Up next
Athl eti cs : Sonny Gray (8-3), whose 1.95
ERA is best in the AL, has allowed only one run
over 31 1-3 innings in his four previous starts
at Texas. He threw two shutouts there last year.
Rang ers : The Rangers try to avoid a series
sweep and their first five-game losing streak
this season. Scheduled starter Colby Lewis is
3-0 with a 2.79 ERA his last four starts.

DRAFT
Continued from page 12
theyre all pretty accurate, I guess, and isnt bothered by the idea
of being considered second-best.
Im still going to be top five or whatever the case may be and
Ill still be living my dream of playing in the NBA, so Ill be
excited either way, he said.
Thats partly because of who or, perhaps more specifically,
where comes next.
The Los Angeles Lakers hold the No. 2 pick, Philadelphia is
third and the New York Knicks follow, providing big-market
appeal that would make for a good consolation prize.

We contacted Little League and
said if theres information on
these children, on these parents,
youve received, please share it
with us. The answer was no.
Henderson said he did speak
briefly with a Little League attorney but was never given any information of substance.
Little League International officials said they havent yet
reviewed the lawsuit and declined
to comment on the specifics of the

The head of the class should again be a collegiate one-anddone, as Towns, Okafor and Russell all played just one season.
The last five No. 1 picks have all been freshmen.
Teams preferring more experience will be able to find it in
players such as Kentuckys Willie Cauley-Stein, who played
three years, and Wisconsins Frank Kaminsky, who was the
national player of the year in leading the Badgers to the NCAA
championship game as a senior.
People who go to college and stuff like that have to grow up

they expect about 6,000 of the

players did live outside the boundaries, but that if it happened it was
because of some mistakes related to confusion about shifting
boundaries and wasnt the result of
an effort to sneak ineligible players onto the team.

Robinson West officials did not
only change the boundaries but
also scrambled to persuade surrounding leagues to go along with
what they had done.
But Henderson did say Little
League International violated its
own rules that call for it to review
eligibility paperwork before
every game and require eligibility
protests to be filed before games.
Little League officials said in an
email Wednesday that the eligibility verification process takes
place before the start of each level
of play in the Little League
International Tournament, not
each game.
The team announced in April
that it would switch leagues and
play for the Babe Ruth Leagues
Cal Ripken division.

And if thats not enough experience, teams can grab some guys
who are already pros.
Mudiay was originally slated to attend SMU last season but
instead signed to play in China, averaging 18 points in 12
games for the Guangdong Southern Tigers. Porzingis has played
the last 2 1/2 years for Seville of Spains ACB, one of the best
leagues in the world.
The Latvian player, who will turn 20 in August, is an elite
shooter but listed at just 220 pounds on his 6-foot-11 frame, so
he knows he needs to get stronger. But he said hes prepared to
deal with the toughness of fellow power forwards.
Physical guys in Europe, same like in the NBA, he said. Of
course, a lot more athletes here in the NBA, a lot more stronger,
too, but its nothing that I havent seen yet. I think probably Ill
get dunked on or whatever by some guys, but its just normal.
He would love to play in New York and could be available to the
Knicks at No. 4. So could Russell, as what shapes up as a strong
top of the draft appears uncertain beyond the top-two spots. Hes
OK with not knowing how it will go.
I feel like Im in a great position, Russell said. Lot of guys
are in a position where they dont know and Im more than just
blessed to know its a variety of teams that I could possibly go
to. So Im just taking it all in and enjoying the process.

Retirees deciding

in plants, with an impressive botanical library. She replanted her parents

European-style garden with a mix of
cacti and succulents, which she saw as
symbolic of the native plants of
Mexico, and with tropical plants, fruit
trees, and other edible or medicinal
plants.
When we learned about Kahlo as a
truly sophisticated gardener, who also
happened to be a great artist and cultural icon, we were blown away, said
Todd Forrest, the botanical gardens
vice president for horticulture and living collections.
Over time, Kahlo transformed Casa
Azul into an expression of her deep
connection to the natural world and to
Mexico.
Her studio overlooked the garden,
and the plants came to play an important role in her art.
As we studied Frida Kahlo through
her plants, two important themes

LOS ANGELES Denise and John Stevens have had pets

their whole lives then they retired.
After our last dog passed away, we decided not to get
another one. We like the freedom from worrying about her,
Denise Stevens, 63, said of the Long Island, New York, couple whose Jack Russell terrier died last year. We tend to
treat these dogs like children.
Baby boomers are retiring in record numbers, and many
wonder whether a dog or cat belongs in their golden years.
Some seniors want the companionship, but others worry
about declining health, failing to outlive a new pet, moving to a facility that doesnt allow animals and tighter budgets. Some, like the Stevenses, just want a break from the
responsibility of owning a pet.
For retirees who want a dog or cat at least sometimes
there are unique programs to help connect older people
and pets, said Kristen Levine, a pet living and lifestyle
expert who works with those over 50.
Organizations are toying with pet rentals, having senior
citizens foster animals, arranging for several families to
share a pet, or bringing therapy dogs to homes instead of
just hospitals.
A nonprofit program in Colorado helps low-income elderly and disabled people in Larimer County keep their pets
as long as possible. Pets Forever is sponsored by Colorado
State University and partners with local companies and
organizations to provide in-home animal care and dog
walking, said Lori Kogan, program director and founder.
While retirees are making decisions about their
lifestyles, rest homes, assisted living centers and retirement communities are looking at how to accommodate seniors over the next two decades, Levine said.
Officials at A Place for Mom, the nations largest senior
living referral service, which is based in Washington state,
say more than 40 percent of those seeking a housing referral ask whether pets are permitted.
The aging industry is receptive to working with the pet
industry, Levine said. Both will make money, but ultimately the pet lover is the winner.
Even those who have spent their lives working with animals have to decide whether their future will include pets.
Im edging up to that moment Im just about 60 and
retired. We lost our dog of 15 years last year. We are thinking about what to do next, said Stephen Zawistowski, who
was a science adviser for the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and was with the group for
nearly 27 years.
Much has been written about how pets help people, but
its not the same for everyone, he said.

Art rooted in the garden: Show

explores Kahlo from new angle
By Katherine Roth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK In a sprawling, multidisciplinary show, The New York

Botanical Garden focuses on a longoverlooked side of artist Frida Kahlo:
her deep connection to Mexicos
plants and flowers, and how they
inspired her art.
Flora is a very important part of her
creativity, said guest curator Adriana
Zavala, a specialist in Mexican art and
director of Latino Studies at Tufts
University. Even those who thought
they knew everything about Kahlo,
Zavala said, will come away having
learned something new.
The exhibit, Frida Kahlo: Art,
Garden, Life, includes 14 of Kahlos
original works; an evocation of the
garden at her Mexico City home, Casa
Azul (Blue House); plentiful photos
from Kahlos life; and various
Mexican cultural offerings. It will be

on view through Nov. 1.

A good place to begin is in the huge,
glass Enid A. Haupt Conservatory,
where the focus is on the gardens of
Casa Azul, where Kahlo was born in
1907, lived for years with muralist
Diego Rivera, and died in 1954.
Pathways are lined with sunflowers,
marigolds, fuchsia, palms, jacaranda,
oleander, and numerous succulents and
cacti, many of which still grow at Casa
Azul, now a museum.
The lush, indigo-blue walls of
Kahlos home have been vividly rendered, as has her gardens Aztecinspired pyramid, designed by Rivera,
who painted it dazzling rose, blue and
yellow. Here, it holds an array of
native Mexican succulents and cacti in
huge terracotta planters.
In researching the show, horticulturalists at the botanical garden, working
with colleagues in Mexico and a longtime volunteer gardener at Casa Azul,
came to understand Kahlo as an expert

Mulch is good, but which is the best?

By Lee Reich

it can leave roots gasping for oxygen.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MORE BENEFITS OF MULCH

Mulching can be one of the best things

you do for your trees and shrubs. It also
can be one of the worst things you do for
your trees and shrubs.First, lets get our
definitions in order.
Mulch is anything with which you
blanket the ground, be it straw, black
plastic, pebbles, even the marbles I once
saw blanketing a portion of ground in a
contemporary California landscape. Any
of these materials, when spread beneath a
tree or shrub, will keep lawn and, hence,
lawnmowers at bay. Mulches also help
conserve water by slowing evaporation
from the soil surface. But thats about
where the similarity among mulches ends.
Many mulches can enhance water use,
for instance, by softening the impact of
raindrops, so the soil surface stays loose,
open and ready to absorb water. Rule out
black plastic for this purpose, however.
Another downside to black plastic is that

Mulches can contribute directly to a tree

or shrubs nutrition and health. As any
organic material (wood chips, straw or
leaves) decomposes, it releases nutrients
and also helps make plant foodstuffs
already in the soil more accessible to
roots. Rule out pebbles, marbles or black
plastic for this.
As far as a tree or shrub is concerned,
organic materials are obviously the best
mulch.
And besides their benefits for plants and
the soil, they are usually inexpensive or
free.
Still, mulching even with an organic
material can be one of the worst things
you do for your tree or shrubs.

OPEN

POSSIBLE DARK SIDES

Potential Problem No. 1 is that mice
simply love the cushiony, moist environment created by organic
mulches.
Furthermore,
mice like to gnaw on the
bark of living trees and
shrubs, so a thick mulch
piled up against woody

plant stems provides these furry creatures

with both food and lodging.
Since plants transport minerals and sugars through the bark, mouse feeding can
kill a tree or shrub. An obvious route
around this mouse problem is to keep
organic mulches away from the bases of
plants. A ring of bare

He believes money is the biggest

Problem No. 2 with using an organic

mulch is that it can bring on rot if piled up
against trunks and stems. Again, bypass
this problem by keeping the mulch a few
inches away from trunks and stems.

AESTHETICS
One last quality of mulches is their contribution to the appearance of a landscape or planting. Again, rule
out black plastic for this purpose.
True, plastic can be covered with something like
wood chips, but coverings eventually slide off
to expose the plastic.
Other mulches
each have a place

leaves in a

shrubbery, marbles in ... where?

In conjunction with the show, the

garden is offering an array of cultural

offerings to celebrate the artist.

Frida liked to have fun. She had a
love of life. This project is a celebration of Mexico, said Zavala. In addition to taking in Fridas paintings and
Fridas plants and what they meant to
her, we hope people stay to enjoy
some food and music from Mexico.
There are Mexican cocktails and
food; cooking lessons; textile demonstrations; music; an Octavio Paz
Poetry walk; a native plant walk, and
even a Mexican-themed puppet theater
and Fridas Kitchen exhibit for kids.
Wall texts throughout the show are
in Spanish and English.

obstacle to keeping a pet. He and his

wife have two elderly cats and know
how much it can cost to keep them.
I am taking my cat now for weekly
acupuncture at $125 a week,
Zawistowski said. Thats probably
more than the planned food budget for
many people.
Despite the costs, he said the couple
likely will get another dog after they
move from Pennsylvania to Michigan.

And Denise Stevens says its just a

matter of time before a pooch catches
her eye.
Dogs are constant companions, full
of unconditional love it doesnt
matter what you do or what kind of day
you had, said Stevens, who works
part time and whose 70-year-old husband is a volunteer firefighter. They
look at you, they keep you going,
keep you active. Its wonderful.

Mexican, repeated this theme of

hybrid origin in other works on view.
Two Nudes in a Forest, painted in
1939, shows a light-skinned woman
resting her head on a dark-skinned
one. And in the 1940 Self-Portrait

and
Hummingbird, Kahlo, impassive and
dressed in stark white, stares straight

monkey and cat, surround her and

Fruity, summery colors

perk up decor all year
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ah, summer the season when

oranges are transformed into ice
pops, limes add zing to slushies,
peaches become pies and berries
take over nearly every dessert from
June to September.
Citrus and other fruity hues look
fresh and energetic in summer
decor, and theres no need to
remove them once fall approaches.
Their upbeat nature makes them a
smart choice all year round.
Citrus hues are lemon sorbet for
your eyes. Everybodys home
could benefit from a little extra
zest, and bright juicy colors are the
ultimate palate cleanser. A taste of
lemon yellow, tangerine orange or
lime green adds sunny optimism,
says designer Jonathan Adler.
Adlers Brigitte chair, one of his
favorite designs, resembles a big
comfy hand. You can have it in a
spectrum of tasty hues including a
Creamsicle-like orange and a navy
as rich and dark as a blueberry.
Lime-green upholstery brings
extra drama to Adlers modernist
Peking
sofa.
(www.jonathanadler.com)

colors for us, she says. Its a
bold color that can take natural
hues like linen and sand and make
them look richer.
Its also lovely paired with any
shade of gray. For a playful,
beachy vibe, consider mixing
mango with strawberry.

intense and quieter shades.
Consider a dresser or bookcase in a
grapey blue, bunk beds in apple
green, a hutch in banana, or a dining
table
in

(www.mainecottage.com)
Fruity hues look fresh and lighthearted against neutrals, so consider white, gray or ivory walls
and large furniture pieces, with

your color as punctuation.

Decorative accents like pillows,
art, vases or rugs are inexpensive
ways to add impact.
These deep, juicy shades will
look lush paired with woods,
leather, metallics and dark backgrounds. Think grape or pomegranate with walnut or brass;
rhubarb or raspberry with ebony
accents and a textured rug.
Put punch on the patio with Plow
& Hearths outdoor wicker

ottomans, seating and planter baskets in banana, papaya and honeydew

melon.
(www.plowhearth.com)
If youre ready to go big, think
about introducing these colors
through architectural elements. A
fireplace, window trim, baseboards and moldings or a feature
wall set the stage. Add neutral furnishings and textiles to set off the
color, then stand back and admire
the fruit of your labor.

BONSAI
Continued from page 1
he said. This is what I do. And I dont
do enough of it.

An ancient, and
now expensive, ritual
Originally a Chinese art form, bonsai started 2,300 years ago in the form
of penjing, a practice meant to miniaturize and recreate full landscapes of
mythical origin to harness its powers.
The practice was later adopted by the
Japanese monks in the Kamakura period who, in turn, viewed a single tree in
a pot as representative of the whole
universe.
The Japanese, when they got ahold
of it, they took it to a whole different
level, said Deeg.
The United States didnt experience
bonsai in pop culture until the 1940s,
well after the Japanese migrated in
droves to San Francisco. But within a
few decades, bonsai trees in America
went from paper weights to popular
social clubs, with hundreds of bonsai
clubs throughout the nation, each putting on an individual bonsai show.
And there are larger scale national and
international shows, where trees can
go for as high as $1.2 million, as was
the case in November 2011 at the 11th
Annual Asia-Pacific Bonsai and
Suiseki Convention & Exhibition in
Japan.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
needed increase in funding for our
schools, but it must also be noted,
even with this, we still have not fully
recovered from the devastating cuts
made during the Great Recession, he
said.
Denise Porterfield, deputy superintendent of business services with the
San Mateo County Office of Education,
echoed those sentiments in an email,
and said school districts throughout
the county will enjoy increased revenue through the Local Control
Funding Formula, which channels
money to districts with high levels of
low-income students and English-language learners.
The proposed budget is clearly
making strides toward getting us back
to the funding levels in place before
the big economic downturn, she said.
Porterfield said the spending agreement benefits schools to a nearly
unprecedented degree.
For the education community as a
whole, this is truly one of the best
budgets weve ever seen, she said.

The price tag of bonsais havent

eluded thieves, though, who are looking to cash in.
This last May, a 60-year-old bonsai
tree worth between $2,000 and $3,000
was stolen from the Pacific Bonsai
Museum in Seattle, Washington.
Another incident in May 2014 included $65, 000 worth of bonsai trees
being stolen from a nursery in
Vancouver, British Columbia. In
2012, a bonsai tree worth $25,000
was stolen from a garden in
Bremerton, Washington, and in 2013
six trees valued up to $1,200 were
stolen from a Japanese Friendship
Garden in San Diego.
According to gathered news reports
across the nation over the past three
years, the total loss of bonsais stolen
is over $300,000.

The calling
The intricacies of creating the perfect bonsai tree is complex and lends
itself to a kind of harmonic science
that bonsai creators have come to
embrace; cut off one branch, and in its
place a leaf will grow, or tear off a side
and let the deadwood become a part in
the visual aesthetic.
But there is also a very real science
behind how bonsais are maintained.
After all, trees arent meant to be
small, especially pomegranate trees,
which Deeg has placed in his backyard
that are years old, fully grown and
stand less than 8 inches tall smaller
than the fruit they bear.
The members of the San Mateo bonSpending for public schools will
increase from $60.9 billion in the
2014-15 fiscal year, a majority of
which will be available through the
Local Control Funding Formula, due to
increased tax revenue received by the
state.
Patricia Ernsberger, chief business
official at the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District, said in an
email the influx of money would benefit local students.
The adopted 2015-16 state budget
provides a significant investment in
K-14 education, she said. This budget has a positive impact on new, ongoing revenues for the San Mateo-Foster
City School District under the Local
Control Funding Formula.
The elementary school district will
be able to further implement Common
Core standards through the increased
money available, said Ernsberger.
Early education advocates also
expressed appreciation for Brown
signing into law more than $300 million in increased spending designed to
improve access for underprivileged
students to attend preschool.
The spending plan includes funding
for more than 9,500 students who wish
to attend preschool, according to Early
Edge California.

sai group learn botany to manipulate

the trees growth, forcing nutrients into
one area of a tree or allowing sunlight
to reach a specific piece of shrubbery.
Bonsai and bonsai culture and
learning to maintain and develop trees
is a learned craft and that craft you
make into art, like any art form, Deeg
said. We look at botanical features
and look at how nutrients come up
through the trees and we use that.
There are three categories that a bonsai tree must meet for it to be considered a good bonsai: it has to look
old, it has to look like something from
nature and it has to look pretty.
You look at it, and for the people
that it affects, it does something to
them, said Deeg.
Crafting the look is arduous work, he
says, and for those that meet once a
month with the Sei Boku Bonsai Kai
club at the San Mateo Garden Center,
where Deeg is a leader, understanding
that balance of knowing what to cut
and where is something of a nail-biting moment.
New people freak out when I do
this, Deeg said as he cuts off a massive branch from a juniper, leaving
one side naked and exposed.
But you see that shrub there? he
asked and pointed to a small piece of
green poking out of the base of the
branch. I want that to grow. And in
order to do that, you have to get rid of
some.
And Deeg said that in those moments
of tearing off large pieces of wood
from such small trees, theres a lesson
to be learned in letting things go.
With this budget, we not only give
more of our babies, toddlers and
preschoolers a shot at success, we support Californias working families and
give our caregivers and providers a
long overdue boost, said Early Edge
President Deborah Kong, in a prepared
statement.
The deal also includes $500 million
for teacher support and professional
development, as well as another $700
million over the next two years for
career technical education, among a
variety of other perks.
Torlakson said the budget represents
a well-rounded commitment to increasing education opportunities for students throughout the state.
Across the board, we are working to
transform our schools and better prepare California students for careers and
college in the 21st century, he said.
Porterfields sentiments aligned
with Torlaksons perspective.
We appreciate the governors commitment to Californias students and
think there are lots of reasons to be
excited about the future of education in
the state, she said.

Carter: NATO
must bolster
cyberdefense
By Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS NATO must

improve its ability to defend itself
against cyberattacks before it
tries to build its offensive cyberwarfare capabilities, Defense
Secretary Ash Carter told alliance
leaders Wednesday amid rising
tensions with Russia, which has
proven its willingness to launch
computer-based attacks against
other nations.
Carters message runs counter to
some experts and leaders who
believe NATO should begin to
develop cyberweapons, in order to
deter opponents in the 21st century.
Senior defense officials said
cybersecurity was one theme of
Carters remarks to the allies and
to defense ministers hes met with
in recent days. The officials spoke
on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized
to discuss the matter publicly.
According to senior defense
officials, Carter also wants
NATOs cybercenter of excellence,

which he visited in Estonia, to be

more than a think tank. They said
he wants the center to take on a
more active role in helping allies
counter cyberthreats.
To help that along, Carter has
announced that the U.S. will use
its military cyber-expertise to
help allies assess their vulnerabilities and reduce the risk to their
critical infrastructure.
The discussion comes as cyberattacks from China and Russia
dominate the headlines, including
the most recent breach of U.S.
government personnel and security clearance records. That attack
has been linked to China, and
Carter earlier this year blamed
Russian hackers for a breach into
an unclassified defense computer
network. Russia also has been
blamed for a breach of NATOs
computer network last year.
Cybersecurity, however, is a
thorny issue for NATO both for
individual members and for the
alliance as a whole. And its widely accepted as being more difficult
than conventional warfare to
develop, detect and conduct.

meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Defense Ministers session at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
Even as member nations have
vastly different military capabilities, there is an even wider gap in
their willingness to acknowledge,
let alone develop, cyberwarfare as
a strategic military mission.
Last fall, after years of debate,
NATO finally agreed that a cyberattack could rise to the level of a
military assault and could trigger

Iran would get nuclear help in proposed deal

By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA Western powers are

offering Tehran high-tech reactors
under a proposed nuclear agreement,
a confidential document says, but a
defiant speech by Irans supreme
leader less than a week before a
negotiating deadline casts doubt on
whether hes willing to make the
necessary concessions to seal a
deal.
The talks, which resumed
Wednesday in Vienna on restrain-

ing any Iranian efforts to make

atomic arms, appeared to be behind
schedule judging by the draft document obtained by the Associated
Press.
The draft, one of several technical
appendices meant to accompany
the main body of any deal, has
bracketed text in dozens of places
where disagreements remain.
Technical cooperation is the least
controversial issue at the talks, and
the number of brackets suggest the
sides have a ways to go not only on
that topic but also more con-

tentious disputes before the June 30

deadline for a deal.
Irans top leader, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, on Tuesday rejected a
long-term freeze on nuclear research
and supported the idea of barring
international inspectors from military sites. Khamenei, in comments
broadcast on Iranian state television, also said Iran would sign a
final deal only if all economic sanctions on the country were first lifted. The preliminary deal calls for
sanctions to be lifted gradually after
an agreement is finalized.

the Article 5 protections, which

allow the alliance to go to the collective defense of another member
that has been attacked.
But some experts suggest that
its not enough for NATO to help
members harden their networks
and shore up their digital defenses.
How can you have a cybercapability thats limited to restor-

ing network operations. You have

to think about cyber as a weapon,
said James Lewis, cyber-security
expert at the Center for Strategic
and International Studies. No
modern military can operate without cyber-capabilities. And if
NATO wants to deter opponents, it
needs to have the full range of
cyber-capabilities.

Landmark Dutch ruling: Cut

emissions to protect citizens

Around the world

THE HAGUE, Netherlands A

Dutch court ordered the government Wednesday to slash greenhouse gas emissions to help fight
global warming, a landmark ruling
in a case brought by hundreds of
concerned citizens that could pave
the way for similar legal battles
around the world.
Climate activists in a packed
courtroom in The Hague erupted
into cheers as Presiding Judge

The country currently is on track
