New case delays teen’s murder re-trial
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The teenage murder defendant whose retri-
al on charges he gunned down a man when
only 14 years old will not happen Monday as
scheduled because he is facing new charges of
using fellow gangmembers to scare potential
witnesses in the first trial.
Prosecutors were set to try once again to
convict Josue Raul Orozco, 19, of murdering
Francisco Rodriguez in Redwood City on July
12, 2005. Instead, Orozco’s defense attorney
sought more time in light of his client’s new
witness intimidation case, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Orozco’s trial is now set for Nov. 15, almost
five months after the first date set and more
than five years after his arrest.
Orozco, whose first trial deadlocked in
December, was charged earlier this year along

Some cuts for South
San Francisco budget
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
South San Francisco is shaving $636,000
from its budget to balance it this year but will
need to make tougher choices in the years
ahead.
A proposed $61.46 million budget will go
before the City Council for approval
Wednesday, with $61.44 million in expendi-
tures. The city will make $600,000 in cuts to
various departments, the bulk of which will be
made from not filling open positions. If
approved, South San Francisco is projected to
end the year with $14.7 million in reserve.
Mayor Mark Addiego commented that the
city is in a fortunate position.

According to the prosecution, Orozco shot
Rodriguez as the man tried running for safety.
Orozco, an alleged Sureño gang member,
allegedly gathered others including his
younger brother and two other minors and
sought out Norteños as payback for an earlier
slight.
While Orozco was at large, getaway driver
Faustino Ayala was convicted of second-
degree murder. Orozco was caught in Texas
on suspicion of robbery and tried separately.
In December, jurors split almost evenly
between guilt and innocence and a judge
declared a mistrial. In January, prosecutors
announced retrial plans.
according to a staff report.
Looking long term, finance director Jim
Steele expects to cut $5 million in the next five
years.
In maintaining its budget, South San
Francisco has deferred projects that at some
point will need to be covered, explained
Steele. As a result, the city will need to re-
evaluate the budget.
In addition, retirement and health costs for
employees are increasing faster than the city’s
revenue growth, he said.
Department heads are meeting to create a
long-term plan but do not yet have a proposal
ready for the council.
The council meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, June

Home sales dip as market struggles
By Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The housing mar-
ket may be on the verge of taking anoth-
er plunge that could weaken the broader
economic recovery.
Sales of previously occupied homes
dipped in May, even though buyers
could receive government tax credits.
And nearly a third of sales in May were
from foreclosures or other distressed
properties. That means home prices
could soon be heading down after stabi-
lizing over the past year.
Last month’s sales fell 2.2 percent
from the previous month to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 5.66 million, the
National Association of Realtors said
Tuesday. Analysts who had expected
sales to rise expressed concern that the
real estate market could tumble once the
benefit of the federal tax incentives is
gone entirely, starting next month.
The report is “a worrisome sign for

A 26-year-old man fatally shot in Daly
City early Monday morning was remem-
bered yesterday by a co-worker as a con-
scientious, honest and hard-working per-
son.
“It broke all of our hearts,” the Baby
Blues BBQ employee said of the murder
of Alexander Castanon, who was gunned
down about two blocks from his apart-
ment shortly after midnight.
Castanon had just stepped off a 14-

what will occur in July and thereafter
when the effect of the tax credit is
behind us,” said Joshua Shapiro, chief
U.S. economist at MFR Inc., an eco-
nomic consulting firm in New York.
Still, most economists don’t expect the
housing market to be weak enough to
pull the economy back into recession.
Mackriss said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“It caught all of us very much by sur-
prise,” the employee, who didn’t want
his name published, said in a phone
interview yesterday afternoon.
According to the employee, Castanon
was a cook at the restaurant and was
liked by everybody.
“I never saw him at a crossroad with
anybody,” the employee said. “He was
absolutely spectacular, one of my go-to
guys. He was a real sweetheart of a guy.”
No arrests have been made but two
males were spotted running from the
scene.
Castanon got off work at 4 p.m.
Sunday, according to the employee.
They anticipate that home sales will dip
over the summer, then start growing by
fall as the 9.7 percent unemployment
rate begins to decline.
Existing home sales have climbed 25
percent from the 4.5 million annual rate
they hit in January 2009 — the lowest
level of the recession. But they’re still
down 22 percent from the peak rate of
7.25 million in September 2005.
The report counts home sales once a
deal closes. So federal tax credits of up
to $8,000 for first-time buyers and up to
$6,500 for existing homeowners helped
prop up sales in May. The deadline to get
a signed sales contract and qualify was
April 30. Buyers must close their pur-
chases by June 30.
The tax credits were expected to lift
sales in May and June. Lawrence Yun,
the Realtors chief economist, said delays
in the mortgage-lending process put
about 180,000 potential buyers in limbo.
They are unlikely to qualify by the June
30 deadline.
Mackriss said police are working to find
out where Castanon had been between
then and the time he was killed.
Mackriss said Castanon is not believed
to have been involved in a gang and his
killers may have mistaken him for some-
one else, but the motive for the shooting
remains under investigation.
Castanon’s death is the city’s second
homicide this year. On Feb. 7, 21-year-
old Jessie Wiley was struck and killed by
the driver of a sport utility vehicle after a
fight at a pizzeria. Police labeled Wiley’s
death a homicide because they say he
was hit intentionally.
Anyone with information about the
murder is urged to call the Daly City
Police Department at 991-8119.

City reminder on fireworks ban
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
On the heels of the annual Fourth
of July fireworks display being can-
celed, Redwood City is reminding
the public that patriotic pyrotech-
nics are banned within city limits.
The Redwood City fire and police
departments are also cautioning the
community that shooting guns in the
air is an illegal — and dangerous —
alternative.
The city’s fire code prohibits all
types of fireworks, including the so-
called “safe and sane” sort. The only
allowed use are in professional fire-
works shows.

Obama still fighting for gay rights
By Philip Elliott
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama is chipping away at
his long list of promises to gay vot-
ers but has yet to win the enthusias-
tic backing of the reliably
Democratic voting bloc.
The Obama White House has
accomplished more than any other
on gay rights, yet has drawn sharp
criticism from some of those who
stand to benefit from the president’s
efforts. Instead of the sweeping
change gays and lesbians had
sought, a piece-by-piece approach
has been the administration’s
favored strategy, drawing neither
serious fire from conservatives nor
lavish praise from activists.
The strategy was on display
Tuesday as Obama hosted gay
rights activists at the White House
in recognition of gay pride month.
“We’ve got a lot of hard work we’ve
still got to do,” the president told
them in the East Room, even while
boasting of accomplishments
including anti-hate crimes legisla-
tion and extending some benefits to
the same-sex partners of federal
employees.
He promised to continue to fight
for full benefits, including health
care, for same-sex partners, and also
pledged to make good on his cam-
paign promise to repeal the “don’t
ask, don’t tell” policy on gays in the
military. That’s the 1993 law that
allows gay people to serve only if

DALLAS — The city’s new

Just seven weeks after being

in a weekend shootout with police.

budget,more restaurants
Burlingame approved Monday night a bal-
anced $40.75 million budget, created by elimi-
nating vacant positions, ceasing the red-light
camera program and salary freezes for some
employee groups.
A $2.4 million plan was amended in May to
temporarily save filled positions on the chop-
ping block thanks to savings from salary
freezes. The money was enough to guarantee a
job of the part-time employee next year and
keep the two full-time employees an additional
two months, through August.
By early August, the city will know if there is
a budget balance from this fiscal year. If enough
money is left over, the city could decide to keep
the employees through the year.
The council also changed the municipal code
to allow five additional food establishments —
which could be anything from a bar to a full-
service restaurant — in portions of the
Burlingame Avenue commercial area.
In 2009, the council voted unanimously to
allow five new full-service restaurants to be
added on Burlingame Avenue between

The school year will be five-days shorter next

At the same meeting, the board will discuss

the state per child in attendance. Districts with
more children in a classroom than allowed by
the state may not be paid for all students attend-
ing. The applications will be forwarded to the
California Department of Education. If
approved, the district should receive revenue for
all students attending even if that means the
number of students in the classroom exceeds
the state maximum.

Redwood City schools
to run on $7 million less
Redwood City schools will have $7.1 million
less next year, according to a proposed budget
which goes before the elementary school dis-
trict Board of Trustees for final approval
Wednesday.
After a year of examining large layoffs, the
board settled on making $7.1 million in cuts to
next year’s budget, resulting in a $71.1 million
budget with $73 million in expenditures,
according to a staff report. Those assumptions
count on starting the year with a $5.3 million
balance and ending with $3.3 million, a 4.58
percent reserve.
Making up the differences counts on a num-
ber of layoffs — including 63 teachers — which
means class sizes will increase to 30 in kinder-
garten through third grades and to 32 in fourth
through sixth grades. A number of other
employees were also let go. Cutting five custo-
dians, for example, means classrooms will be
thoroughly cleaned only once a week.
the district expects to end next year with
$956,000 in reserves.
Making the cuts will result in increased class
sizes, going up to 31 children per class in all
grades, as well as major impacts to library serv-
ices. Earlier this month, the board approved lay-
offs for a number of instructional media aides.
These positions would normally oversee the
library. Due to union regulations, volunteers
cannot man these positions. Superintendent
David Hutt was not yet sure what the impact on
students would be next year, but limited access
is the worst-case scenario.
The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 23
at the District Office, 500 Acacia Ave. in San
Bruno.
Community college parcel tax passes
Measure G, the $34 annual parcel tax for the
San Mateo County Community College
District, passed by a narrow margin, according
to last scheduled update to election results post-
ed last night.
The measure ended Election Night earlier this
month with just more than 66.9 percent — giv-
ing it passage, but just barely. The measure must
pass with two-thirds voting yes. As of last night,
the approval rating increased to 67.1 percent, or
81,838 votes.
Passage will mean millions in revenue to the
district, restoring funds slated for the chopping
block next year. The four-year tax could gener-
ate about $6 million annually for the district,
according to estimates by District CFO Kathy
Blackwood.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — When he takes to the
campaign trail, Jerry Brown is fond of remind-
ing voters that he shunned the governor’s man-
sion in Sacramento in favor of a rented apart-
ment during his first tour in the executive
office and lived in a downtown loft in Oakland
while he was mayor of the crime-ridden city.
The stories are part of a campaign narra-
tive of frugality. The Democratic nominee
wants voters to remember that when they
consider whether to send him back to the
governor’s office as California faces a $19
billion budget deficit, an unemployment rate
above 12 percent and a continuing foreclo-
sure crisis.
What California voters do not hear is
Brown boasting about his latest home.
He and his wife, former Gap executive
Anne Gust, own a custom-designed, $1.8
million house in one of the San Francisco
Bay area’s most prestigious neighborhoods
— a Zen-inspired, five-level architectural
gem perched high in the wooded Oakland
Hills.
The three-bedroom home comes with bam-
boo floors, a spiral staircase, breathtaking
views of the bay and roll-up family room
windows that let the sea breeze wash in.
The office on the top floor has a private
entrance. A spa level features a sauna and
wetbar, while a dumbwaiter services every
floor, making it easy to send a bottle from the
wine cellar to the dining room.
When fog isn’t hovering over the bay, the
home provides a view of the Golden Gate
Bridge, according to a brochure of the home
when it was on the market in 2007.
That a former governor and nationally
known political figure owns a great house in
a great neighborhood isn’t surprising. But
Brown has made his past austerity a central
theme to his general election campaign,
using it to draw a contrast to his Republican
opponent, billionaire Meg Whitman. The for-
mer eBay chief executive lives in a $3 mil-
lion home in the Silicon Valley community
of Atherton.
Larry Gerston, a political science professor
at San Jose State University, said Brown
should be mindful about how he defines him-
self because he’s not the same person he was
three decades ago.
“He needs to be careful not to be mislead-
ing because if there’s anything that gets peo-
ple angry, particularly when it comes to
politicians, it’s folks who say one thing and
do another,” Gerston said.

Taking issue with Lempert
Editor,
I take issue with Sue Lempert’s
column, “Good News, Bad News/
Winners and Losers,” in which
she summarizes her views of the
recent California Primary.
Lempert says, “Steve Poizner,
an impressive candidate, lost his
integrity as he moved to the right
as an out-of-control ultra conser-
vative.” Exactly what integrity
does Lempert believe Poizner lost
through espousing principles of
reduced debt and taxes? Is this
more “out of control” than U.S.

And what a day it was. On the

called out, it was just about the

U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier’s ultra

billion “stimulus” rammed
through over a weekend? Is
ObamaCare’s “deficit neutral”
accounting deceit more or less
intellectually honest than Meg
Whitman’s conservative principles
of reducing government spend-
ing?
Lempert goes on to state, “Tom
Campbell lost the race but kept
his integrity,” implying that Carly
Fioriana’s self financing of her
campaign is “lost integrity.”
Should someone remind Lempert
that Barack Obama publicly
promised to accept government
campaign financing in the last
presidential campaign only to
renege on it when he found he
could “self finance” his campaign
outside of government rules we
established for fairness? Lempert
continues with her nonsensical
bias, “Perhaps voters and our
democratic system are the losers
when candidates feel they must lie
to get elected.” Does Lempert
make the same comment about
Obama’s campaign pledge for
open debate on C-SPAN?
It is time we have a more hon-
est discussion about these issues
based around actual data, and not
more “out-of-control” liberal left
anachronistic intellectual dishon-
esty. If Lempert wants to debate
integrity issues, then there are
countless Obama, Boxer and
Speier partisan governance deceits
that have negatively impacted
more people to a much greater
degree than any of Lempert’s so
called “integrity lapses” in the
California Primary campaigns.

San Mateo Councilman David

He is not alone. Many of San
Mateo County’s elected officials
at all levels of government have
consistently invested in nonprofits
because pressing needs are
addressed at a fraction of the cost
of government services — and
more costly problems are prevent-
ed.
Each nonprofit leverages these
small grants with their own
fundraising dollars to keep the
patchwork of San Mateo County’s
invisible safety net intact for all
its residents.
The $16,500 allocated by Foster
City is money well-spent, and the
community will be better for it.

By Tim Paradis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks dropped for a
1,239.90
second day Tuesday after home sales fell
unexpectedly and the White House said
it would fight a court ruling that lifted its
ban on offshore oil drilling.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
149 points, its biggest drop in about two
weeks. Treasury prices climbed after
demand for safe investments rose.
The National Association of Realtors
reported that sales of existing homes fell
2.2 percent in May. The report surprised
analysts who thought sales would get a
lift from a homebuyer tax credit. Sales
fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 5.66 million from a revised 5.79 mil-
lion in April.

House-Senate move to give auto dealers a break
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In the end, the
political clout of 18,000 auto dealers scat-
tered nationwide was too much even for
President Barack Obama.
House and Senate negotiators putting
final shape to a sweeping overhaul of
Wall Street regulations all but agreed
Tuesday to exclude auto dealers from the
oversight of a consumer financial protec-
tion bureau.

parts and services, fell 4.4 percent, while
oil-services company Halliburton Inc.
fell 3.9 percent.
It was the second straight day that the
market gave up early gains to end lower.
The selling intensified shortly before 2
p.m. Eastern time, when the benchmark
Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell below
1,111, its average finish of the past 200
days. Many professionals who use tech-
nical factors in their buying and selling
decisions consider the 200-day moving
average, as it’s called, to be a predictor
of the market’s direction. The drop
below 1,110 hastened the market’s slide
because computer programs kicked in
and drove more selling.
“Without much tangible information
to sink your teeth into investors are
going to rely on technicals and right now
the technicals broke down,” said Jack
Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.
The House bill approved last December
contained an exemption for auto dealers,
among others, from lending regulations
issued by the proposed consumer agency.
The Senate did not, but the sentiment was
there. In a 60-30 nonbinding vote last
month, senators called for the auto dealer
loophole.
Under a compromise offered by Senate
Democrats Tuesday, auto dealers would
still be covered by federal truth-in-lending
rules that would have to conform to regu-
lations adopted by the consumer agency.

Judge lifts offshore drilling ban
By Michael Zunkelman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — A federal
judge struck down the Obama
administration’s six-month ban on
deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico as rash and heavy-handed
Tuesday, saying the government
simply assumed that because one
rig exploded, the others pose an
imminent danger, too.
The White House promised an
immediate appeal. The Interior
Department had imposed the mora-
torium last month in the wake of the
BP disaster, halting approval of any
new permits for deepwater projects
and suspending drilling on 33
exploratory wells.
White House spokesman Robert
Gibbs said President Barack Obama
believes that until investigations can
determine why the spill happened,
continued deepwater drilling expos-
es workers and the environment to
“a danger that the president does not
believe we can afford.”

WASHINGTON — A top House

ing debt, raising a difficult election-
year issue as Democrats fight to
retain control of Congress.

U.S. District Judge Martin
Feldman, who was appointed by
President Ronald Reagan and has
owned stock in a number of petrole-
um-related companies, sided with
the plaintiffs.
“If some drilling equipment parts
are flawed, is it rational to say all

He also warned that the shutdown
would have an “immeasurable
effect” on the industry, the local
economy and the U.S. energy sup-
ply. The ruling was welcomed by
the oil and gas industry and decried
by environmentalists.
Feldman’s financial disclosure
report for 2008, the most recent
available, shows holdings in at least
eight petroleum companies or funds
that invest in them, including
Transocean Ltd., which owned the
Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that
blew up. The report shows that most
of his holdings were valued at less
than $15,000; it did not provide spe-
cific amounts.
It was not clear whether Feldman
still has any of the energy industry
stocks. Recent court filings indicate
he may no longer have Transocean
stock. The 2008 report showed that
he did not own any individual
shares in big companies such as BP,
which leased the rig that exploded,
or ExxonMobil.

LONDON — After weeks of

industry leaders pressed President
Barack Obama to lift the six-

deepwater drilling and suspended
drilling at 33 existing exploratory
wells in the Gulf. A federal judge
in New Orleans blocked the mora-
torium on Tuesday, but the White

Size does matter.

Anyone who was in attendance for the
championship game of the District 52 Majors
Superbowl on Tuesday at Sea Cloud Park saw
the half-dozen or so players on San Mateo
National team who could’ve easily been mis-
taken for high school football players.
Topping the list was San Mateo catcher
Robby Ippolito, who at 6-foot-1 and 195
pounds was an intimidating presence to say
the least.
“And all these guys are (only) 12 years old,”
San Mateo coach Brian Green said after his
team rolled to a 12-4 win over Alpine-West
Menlo. “We are a very big team, but more
importantly, these guys can play.”
Indeed, San Mateo rolled through the tour-
nament, outscoring four opponents by a com-
bined margin of 46-15. National trailed just
once in the entire tournament, after Alpine-
West Menlo scored two runs in the top of the
first inning. However, San Mateo came back
with nine runs in the bottom half to deliver an
emphatic statement and essentially put things
out of reach.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the second year in a row, the San Mateo
National minor all-star team advanced to the
championship game of the District 52 Minors
Superbowl.
Unlike last season, however, this year the
Dawgs managed to seal the deal, beating San
Carlos 9-0.
“These kids came to play every single day,”
said San Mateo National coach Silvio Rocha.
“It’s all of them. One through 15.”
Unlike the District 52 All-Star tournament,
the Super Bowl tournament uses a single-elim-
ination format, putting a premium on every
single game. San Mateo National opened the
tournament by out-slugging Foster City, 13-
10. From there, the Dawgs cruised. They beat
rival San Mateo American 6-2 in the second
round before downing Pacifica American in
Monday’s semifinal game.
In the championship game Tuesday at Foster
City’s Sea Cloud Park, San Mateo National
wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of
the first before scoring three times in the bot-
tom of the frame to put the pressure on San
Carlos.
San Carlos had its chances early, but could
not capitalize.
“They had great pitching and timely hitting,”
See MINORS, Page 14
San Mateo batted around in the first inning,
sending 13 hitters to the plate. Leadoff hitter
Cameron Taylor, who finished 4 for 4 with
three runs scored, got things started with a
double before scoring on Nick Balestrino’s
single. Marcus Alverez followed by crushing
a home run to dead center field — his third
homer in the tournament — giving San Mateo
a 3-2 lead it would never relinquish.
National was far from done, however, as it
banged out four more hits in the inning,
capped by an Ippolito RBI double to make it
9-2. San Mateo’s swift and decisive outburst
was plenty enough for starter Enzo Kalaveras,
who tossed five solid innings before Brandon
Cacci threw a perfect sixth to seal the out-
come.

Lincecum shuts down Houston
By Kristie Rieken
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Tim Lincecum is a little tired
of talking about getting the best of Roy Oswalt.
That’s probably because it’s already come up
twice before this season.
Lincecum outpitched Oswalt in a matchup of
National League aces, and the San Francisco
Giants managed just enough offense for a 3-1
win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
It was San Francisco’s seventh straight victo-
ry over Houston this season and Lincecum’s
third of the year against the struggling Astros
with Oswalt on the mound. The two-time NL Cy
Young Award winner improved to 5-0 in eight
career outings against Houston and is 4-0 with a
0.85 ERA in six matchups with Oswalt.
Lincecum hoped questions about his recent
success against Oswalt wouldn’t come up after
the game, but he knew they would.
“I don’t really know,” he said when the
inevitable inquiries began. “It’s just the way the
cards fall I guess. He pitched well and just ended
up in an unfortunate situation. It’s just one of
those kind of things where it’s a battle between
me and him and who’s going to get the last
laugh. It always seems to happen with us (win-
ning) lately.”
Lincecum (8-2) allowed seven hits and no
earned runs over eight innings while striking out
seven and walking two. Brian Wilson pitched a
perfect ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances.

OAKLAND — Bronson Arroyo rediscov-

to talk to him my first year

isons, but I have never real-
ly gotten the chance to.”
Juan Uribe scored when Pablo Sandoval
grounded into a forceout in the seventh to put the
Giants ahead 2-1. San Francisco tied it at 1 ear-
lier in the inning on an RBI single by Pat Burrell.
Aubrey Huff singled and Uribe walked before
Burrell’s hit.
“I thought that once we got one, if I could hold
it, we had a chance,” Oswalt said. “I threw some
pretty good pitches to Uribe, but when he
walked, I knew that was pretty much the game
right there. If I keep him off base, then I have a
chance.”
Oswalt (5-9) yielded six hits and two runs
with five strikeouts in seven innings.

selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2008

But the future of the Astros didn’t change

Johnson committed an error in the ninth
inning when he overthrew first base on a ball hit
by Freddy Sanchez that allowed him to advance
to second. Sanchez scored on a single by Nate
Schierholtz to make it 3-1.
Astros manager Brad Mills was impressed by
Castro’s debut.
“I thought Jason really did well with the way
he played and the way he caught,” Mills said. “I
think it was pretty special. I think you can see
why everyone was excited.”
Castro singled in his first career at-bat in the
third, drawing loud cheers from the crowd. He
scored on a double by Michael Bourn.
Lincecum walked Jeff Keppinger, loading the
bases, before Lance Berkman grounded into an
inning-ending double play.
“That saved us,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said. “Berkman hit the ball hard there. To get a
double play there and hold them to one run, it
won the game for us. If the ball gets through it’s
a different ballgame.”
The Giants escaped the fifth inning unscathed
despite committing two errors. The first came
when Burrell’s throw from left field on a two-out
single by Bourn was wide and Bourn advanced
to second. Bourn took third when Lincecum
overthrew second on a pickoff attempt, but the
right-hander retired Keppinger to end the inning.
The A’s dropped to 34-39 and a season-
worst five games under .500. They lost for the
sixth time in seven games and ninth in 11.
Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce each had
three hits for Cincinnati, which rallied for a 6-
4, 10-inning win in Monday’s series opener to
get back on track after being swept in three
games at Seattle over the weekend.
Votto’s double in the third marked his 31st
straight game in which he’s reached safely, the
second-longest such streak in the majors this
year.
Oakland is 6-15 in June and a season-high 9
1/2 games behind AL West-leading Texas
after the A’s led the division at the end of May.
Braden (4-7) allowed 10 hits, one off his
season high, and four runs in six innings. The
left-hander hasn’t gone more than 6 1-3
innings in his last seven starts after lasting
eight innings in his first outing after the per-

Cheerleading expert:
It’s not a competitive sport
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — An expert in cheer-
leading has testified that cheerleading should not
be a competitive sport, saying that making it so
would threaten “classical sideline cheerleading.”
Jeff Webb, CEO of the cheerleading organiza-
tion Varsity Spirit, testified Tuesday in federal
court in Bridgeport, Conn., in a lawsuit against
Quinnipiac (KWIN’-ih-pee-ak) University. Five
volleyball players sued after the school decided
in a budgetary move to eliminate women’s vol-
leyball in favor of a competitive cheer squad.
Testifying for the players, Webb said competi-
tive cheerleading is as much a sport as chess.
A federal judge is being asked in part to decide
whether cheerleading can be counted as a sport
by schools looking for ways to meet gender-
equity requirements. He’s also considering
whether Quinnipiac improperly manipulates the
size of the rosters to comply with those require-
ments.
Warriors send Maggette to Bucks
MILWAUKEE — Seeking a scoring threat
and willing to take on a significant contract, the
Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Corey
Maggette in a trade with the Golden State
Warriors on Tuesday.
The Bucks also got a second-round draft pick
from the Warriors, giving up guard Charlie Bell
and center Dan Gadzuric in return.
Maggette played in 70 games with 49 starts for
Golden State last season, averaging 19.8 points
per game. He will be expected to provide offense
for a team that may lose John Salmons, who can
opt out of his contract and become a free agent.
Maggette, an 11-year veteran, ranked 19th in
the league in field goal percentage (.516) last
season and had the league’s highest scoring
average for a player who logged fewer than 30
minutes per game. He has three years and
approximately $31 million remaining on his con-
tract.
Bell played in 71 games with 39 starts for
Milwaukee last season, averaging 6.5 points, 1.5
assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. Gadzuric
appeared in 32 games with six starts, and aver-
aged 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes
per game.

Villar manufactured a run for San
Mateo. He reached first on an infield
hit and went to second when the
throw got by the first baseman. He
then went to third on a delayed steal
and scored on a wild pitch to put San
Mateo up 4-0.
The Dawgs tacked on three more
runs in the bottom of the third.
Dante Pacini singled to lead off the
inning and Michael Anthanacio
walked. Both runners moved up on a
wild pitch and Pacini scored on a
Vaysberg grounder that was bobbled
for an error. Following an out,
Mallen came up and stroked a two-
run single to right.
San Mateo National rounded out
the scoring in fifth, plating two runs
on just one hit and two San Carlos
errors. Pacini drove in Francisco
Sandoval with a single and
Ghazizadeh scored on an error.
While the game was never really
in doubt, San Carlos did turn in
some defensive gems and strong
individual performances. Relief
pitcher Zach Smith came on in the
second inning and promptly struck
out three straight San Mateo batters.
Then there was third baseman
Martindale, who twice robbed
Jeremy Villar, when two times in the
row, he hit absolute rockets snared
by Martindale. San Carlos shortstop
Nolan Peterson also made a tremen-
dous defensive play, going to his
backhand and then throwing the run-
ner out at first.
San Mateo National also showed
it could pick it as well. Second base-
man Jeremy Villar handled a couple
of chances cleanly while brother
Joey Villar made a running catch in
center field to end the top of the
fifth.

World Cup Roundup
Uruguay 1, Mexico 0
RUSTENBURG, South Africa —
Uruguay won Group A and Mexico
also advanced Tuesday after Luis
Suarez scored in the 43rd minute to
give the South Americans a 1-0 vic-
tory at the World Cup.
Both teams will face Group B
members; those teams will be
decided Tuesday night.
South Africa and France did not
advance after the hosts beat the
French 2-1.
Suarez, Uruguay’s most danger-
ous striker all day, ran unguarded to
the back post and headed in Edinson
Cavani’s brilliant cross for his first
goal of the tournament.
The two countries went into the
last group game sharing the lead at
four points and needed only a draw
to advance. But both fielded attack-
ing lineups. Even so, the game
yielded few clear scoring chances.
Uruguay, which didn’t allow a
goal in the first round, ended the
group phase with seven points after
overpowering South Africa 3-0 and
drawing 0-0 with France. It will
play South Korea on Saturday in
Port Elizabeth.
Mexico earned four, but a better
goal differential than South Africa
(plus-1 to minus-2). It has advanced
in every World Cup it qualified for
scored for France in the 70th.
Plagued by internal strife, the
2006 runner-up was forced to play
with 10 men after Yoann Gourcuff
was ejected for elbowing Macbeth
Sibaya in the 25th minute.
South Korea 2, Nigeria 2
DURBAN, South Africa — South
Korea reached the second round
from Group B as Lee Jung-soo and
Park Chu-young scored. Kalu Uche
had given Nigeria the lead in the
12th minute, then Ayegbeni Yakubu
netted a 69th-minute penalty kick to
draw Nigeria level again —
moments after Yakubu missed a
wide open net.
South Korea reached the World
Cup knockout stage away from
home for the first time. The only
other time South Korea got beyond
the group stage was when the team
surged to the semifinals in 2002 on
home soil as tournament co-host
with Japan.
The Korean substitutes sprinted
onto the field and hugged their
teammates at the final whistle, then
danced in front of a small group of
flag-waving fans.
Nigeria became the second
African team to fall out of the first
World Cup held on the continent.

The runaway victory capped a
dominating run for San Mateo, which
didn’t even have to use its best pitch-
er, Ippolito, in any of the four games.
“He didn’t even throw an inning
because we didn’t need him to,”
Green said. “That’s how dominant we
were.”
In addition to Taylor’s four hits,
Balestrino, Ippolito and Ishman
Ghuman had two hits apiece. Alpine-
West Menlo proved to be a solid
team, but it had no answers against a
San Mateo juggernaut. In the
postgame ceremony, Alpine-West

1-0 loss to Slovenia and a 0-0 draw against
England. Algeria can advance only with a win,
and Les Fennecs coach Rabah Saadane repeat-
edly used the phrase “God willing” in reference
to a victory.
“We are in a good mood to make our people
back home very happy,” Algeria captain Antar
Yahia said.
A win would send the U.S. to a second-round
matchup this weekend with Germany, Ghana,
Serbia or Australia, and another big television
audience for American soccer. With France
knocked out, and England, Germany, defending
champion Italy and Spain all uncertain of
reaching the knockout stage, the U.S. could find
itself in a fairly wide-open tournament if it
advances.
Coaches will be paying attention to the
England-Slovenia game, which will be played
simultaneously in Port Elizabeth. If the English
lose, the U.S. would advance with a tie. If both
the U.S. and England draw, the Americans
reach the second round if they maintain their
goal advantage over the English, currently 3-1.
It could get thorny if the U.S. and the English
tie, and England scores two goals more than the
Americans. Then Slovenia would win the group
and a televised drawing of a ball from a bowl
would be held in Johannesburg at 1 p.m. EDT
to determine whether the U.S. or England fin-
ishes second.
“I think for us the concentration is just on
getting ready for the match,” Bob Bradley said.
“So many things can happen along the way, so
we’ve not put much thought into the final way
of determining things.”
Michael Kammarman, the U.S. team’s press
officer, will be responsible for keeping staff
aware of the score in the England-Slovenia
game. What happens in the other match could
determine how much the U.S. pushes for a late
goal against the Algerians.
“You have to be a little careful because you
want to just play and you don’t want to, at the
end of the game, think that if we hold onto
this result that we’re going to get through and
then you get a goal scored on you and you’re
out of it,” Donovan said. “So you have to
play, but you have to also be aware of what
the other result is.”
Going into their first-round finale in 2002, the
U.S. flopped to a 3-0 defeat against Poland but
wound up advancing with a second-place group
finish when Park Ji-sung’s 70th-minute goal
gave South Korea a 1-0 victory over Portugal.
At last year’s Confederations Cup, the U.S.
needed a three-goal win over Egypt to advance
and for Italy to lose to Brazil by three goals.
Brazil scored three times in the first half against
the Azzurri, and Clint Dempsey’s 71st-minute
goal gave the U.S. a 3-0 win over the
Egyptians.
“Last year’s Confederations Cup was a nice
dress rehearsal and we were in this situation a
little bit,” Bocanegra said. “We had to win, and
last time we had to get some help. This time, we
just need to win.”

Wilson said. “There’s lots of goalies that are out

Blake bows out meekly NABOKOV

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WIMBLEDON, England — Bothered by
pain from a lingering right knee injury, James
Blake is dealing with doubts about his tennis
future.
Blake has been a top-five player, a Grand
Slam quarterfinalist three times, a U.S. Davis
Cup team regular — and on Tuesday he was
thinking aloud about where things stand for
his career after a 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 loss to 151st-
ranked Robin Haase of the Netherlands in
Wimbledon’s first round.
“It’s almost embarrassing to go out and play
a Grand Slam match like that,” said the 109th-
ranked Blake, who had a testy exchange with
ESPN reporter Pam Shriver between points,
saying he thought her commentary was too
loud and distracting.
He went 0 for 9 on break-point chances and
made more than twice as many unforced
errors as Haase, 23-10.
“The knee is not great,” Blake said. “If it
doesn’t get better soon, I’m not sure how
much longer I want to play in pain.”
The 30-year-old Blake, who is based in
Tampa, Fla., began having problems with his
knee more than a year ago, but continued
playing, refusing to use painkillers or anti-
inflammatory medicine because he worries
about their long-term effects.
“Just gradually got worse and worse until it
got to a point where I just couldn’t take play-
ing at 80 percent. I can’t beat these guys at 80
percent. I can’t beat a lot of them at 100 per-
cent on a given day. So to think that I’m going
to compete with the top level of the game at
80 percent is just silly,” he said. “Maybe it’s
just getting old, I don’t know.”
He took more than two months off the tour
this season, not playing from March 26 —
when he lost at Key Biscayne, Fla. — until
last week, when he lost his opening match on
grass at Eastbourne. The hope was that the
rest would be enough.
“Maybe it says to me that I came back too
soon,” Blake said, “or maybe I’m just too far
away (from) where I think I need to be.”

years, winning an NHL-best 131 games over the
past three seasons. He has a 293-215-29 record
in 10 seasons with the Sharks, with a 2.39 goals
against average.
Nabokov went 44-26 with a 2.43 goals against
average last season, helping the Sharks reach the
Western Conference final this year, where they
were swept by Chicago.
The Sharks will give a chance to backup
Thomas Greiss, who started 11 games this sea-
son and also played for Germany in the
Olympics, as well as minor league goalie Alex
Stalock, who won 39 games and had a 2.63
goals against average with Worcester in the
AHL.
Wilson said the team would also look to add a
veteran goalie either through a trade or free
agency to pair with one of the younger goalies.
Among the goalies eligible to become unre-
stricted free agents are Dallas’ Marty Turco, St.
Louis’ Chris Mason, Philadelphia’s Michael
Leighton and Washington’s Jose Theodore.
“The goaltending market is very deep,”
there that you can supplement or build a tandem
with what you have. Make no mistake, we’re
very pleased with the goaltenders we have in our
system and they’ll be given an opportunity.”
With a decision made not to try to retain
Nabokov, the focus for the Sharks turns to the
other unrestricted free agents, most notably lead-
ing goal scorer Patrick Marleau. The decision to
let Nabokov leave could free up more money for
Marleau if necessary.
Forwards Scott Nichol and Manny Malhotra,
and defenseman Niclas Wallin are also among
the unrestricted free agents the Sharks want to
keep. Wilson is also looking to lock up restrict-
ed free agents Joe Pavelski and Devin Setoguchi.
“I would like to get all the pieces done prior to
the draft,” Wilson said. “That would be my
home run.”
The Sharks will lose at least two key players
from the team that reached the Western
Conference final, with captain Rob Blake
announcing his retirement last week.
But Wilson believes there is plenty of help
coming through the system with some young
players who can complement stars like Joe
Thornton, Dany Heatley and Dan Boyle to
maintain the Sharks’ position as a perennial con-
tender.

to be one. When she got to Burlingame, she participated in all three
sports as a freshman. At the end of the season, she was named the
Burlingame’s Freshman Female Athlete of the Year.
“I didn’t know the award existed until I got it (my freshman
year),” Root said. “It felt like a big honor. Then, I wanted to do it
again.”
Root did it again — three more times to be precise. By the time
she graduated, she was one of those rare athletes who played three
sports all four years.
A born athlete
Athletics were all but ingrained in Root. She started playing soc-
cer at the age of 5, and picked up volleyball and track in middle
school. Both her parents were athletically inclined. In fact, her moth-
er, Lisa, made the 1980 U.S. Olympic team as hurdler, but because
of the U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics, did not get to compete.
While Root has grown up playing sports, they do not necessarily
define her. Track, for instance, was a way to stay in shape for the vol-
leyball and soccer seasons. But her main motivation for trying track
in high school was to give her three sports on her resume. When her
mother suggested she try — surprise! — the hurdles, Root was non-
chalant about it.
“OK,” was her response.
While she also ran the relays for Burlingame, as well as the long
jump her first three years, it was the hurdle events that actually kept
her engaged in the sport.
“Hurdle drills are actually fun, for me,” Root said. “When I was
first introduced to hurdles, it was more fun than just straight run-
ning.”
A four-year, varsity track athlete, Root qualified for the Central
Coast Section in several events over a four-year span. This year,
however, she struggled in the hurdles, not even qualifying for the

ever, in the relay events, qualifying for CCS in both 4x100 and
4x400 events.
“I never liked the 4x400 relay,” Root admitted. “My first two years
I did it because it was for the team. Last year, I didn’t do it (because)
someone else wanted to do it. This year, I decided to do it (again).
Turns out her struggles in the hurdles actually enhanced her per-
formance in the relay.
“I made [CCS] my freshman year and if I didn’t make it my sen-
ior year, it would have been terrible,” Root said.
Soccer her true love
While track was used for more than just for the love of the sport,
soccer was her passion. It was also the sport she in which she had the
most success. Again, her versatility made her an invaluable addition
to the Panthers. She was called up to the varsity squad during the
CCS playoffs her freshman year before becoming a standout defend-
er her sophomore and junior years and was key in the Panthers win-
ning back-to-back CCS championships.
This year, the Panthers were eliminated in the semifinals of CCS.
This past season, she was named one of the team captains and
asked to do more than just defend. Because the team lost a lot of
offensive firepower to graduation, Burlingame coach Phillip DeRosa
wanted to put his best players in the best position to help the team.
That meant pushing Root up into the attack more than she had the
previous seasons.
Root responded with 11 goals while also assigned the task of
defending the opposition’s best offensive weapons.
“If I were going to start a soccer team, who would I choose? I
would choose Cassie Root,” DeRosa said. “In all my years of coach-
ing, she stands out as one of the few that really brought that physi-
calness to the game. Just a physical presence on the field that other
teams didn’t know how to deal with.”
Root was the rock of the Burlingame defense, both in solidifying
the defense as well as dishing out punishment. If opposing strikers
were unaware of her presence before games, they quickly became
familiar with Root’s style as she was quick with a hard, fair tackle on
the ground or in the air. Her physical style led opposing fans to think
of the game.
“I’m only really competitive in the game … when I’m playing it.
Off the field, I’m not a super competitive person,” Root said. “I think
it was just I have a big passion for soccer. To play hard, you literally
have to play hard and aggressive.”
That aggressiveness prompted DeRosa to push Root up into the
attack when the opportunity presented itself. It was not a complete-
ly foreign aspect of the game to her. She had been a striker growing
up and was only moved to defense when she got to high school.
“I’ve kind of played everywhere, but this year, I felt I had to move
all over the field. It wasn’t unnatural for me, but it was a little more
difficult. I think it was more fun because I got more touches on the
ball,” Root said. “[DeRosa] kind of told me when to stay back or
when to go up, but I kind of knew myself. I knew how to play
offense.”
Said DeRosa: “My instructions to her was if she is taking on that
first player in the middle, go with it. Now, you have the (opposing)
defense that has to attack her and it opened [the field] up for the other
players.”
A force on the volleyball court
That ability to seamlessly transition from offense to defense defi-
nitely helped Root on the volleyball court. Listed as outside hitter,
she was equally at home playing at the net or in the back row. While
not considered the libero — a defensive specialist — she had the
ability to take on that role.
In a day when many volleyball players are specialized front-row
or back-row players, Root could play anywhere on the court.
“Her quickness allowed her to continue to play the back row,” said
Burlingame volleyball coach Steve Erle.
Root’s versatility was a main reason the Panthers captured the
PAL’s Bay Division championship. As the regular season came
down to crunch time, Erle juggled his lineup, putting his players in
the best position to succeed. In Root’s case, her versatility was like
adding an extra player to the roster.
“You could do anything with Cassie,” Erle said. “When it was a
big match, she just got a look in her eyes and you could see some-
thing click and she got into that ultra-competitive mode. She never
shied away from competition.”
Said Root: “Sometimes I didn’t understand why [Erle] would
move us around. I didn’t really care where I was playing, as long as
I got to play.”
Root now moves on to the next phase in her life, which includes
going to college at the University of Arizona where she plans to
study business management and Italian. She doesn’t plan — right
now — to play intercollegiate sports. She wants to spend her first
year adjusting to college life. Club or intramural soccer may be in
her future and she may try to walk on to the women’s soccer team
her sophomore year.
“I don’t think I’m ready for a big (athletic) commitment (in col-
lege),” Root said. “I want to have the natural college experience.”
But don’t be surprised to see her satiate her thirst for competition
at some point during her college career.
“She’s just a tremendous athlete,” DeRosa said. “She just has the
physical tools to be a physical force.”
Added Erle: “Out of anybody I’ve ever coached, she’s probably
the best athlete I’ve ever had.”

Ideas for what to do with summer’s bounty
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Right about now farmers market devotees
start coming home with more than they know
what to do with, simply because it’s all so
beautiful.
But an unusually good crop of produce-cen-
tered cookbooks offers inventive ways to use
the bounty to its best advantage.
Susie Middleton’s “Fast, Fresh and Green”
injects your cooking with a little “Huah!!”
and offers a strategy for decoding and deploy-
ing a greater variety of vegetables.
Built around foundation recipes for eight
different cooking techniques such as grilling,
roasting and sauteing, the book teaches home
cooks how to handle different vegetables, and
then offers suggestions for enlivening them.
Roasted cauliflower gets a Moroccan feel
from orange zest and olives and the simple
sassy slaw strikes a Southwest note with lime,
cilantro and Serrano peppers (technique: No
Cooking). Great book for vegephobics or peo-
ple stuck in a steamed broccoli rut.
“Cooking from the Garden” by Ruth Lively
features more than 200 recipes that aim to
move the greens from your backyard to your
table with minimal fuss. With the big, blocky
look of an elementary school textbook, the
book offers quick, comfy fare like tomatoes in
shallot-flavored cream (cooking time about 5
minutes), stir-fried shrimp with asparagus,
and chicken pot pie with rosemary biscuits.
Home gardeners will appreciate the section on
turning your piles of borage and lemon verbe-
na into herbal teas.

Whole Foods removes
kombucha drinks from stores
AUSTIN, Texas — Whole Foods is removing a fermented,
sweetened tea called kombucha from its shelves because of
concerns over slightly elevated alcohol levels.
Whole Foods spokeswoman Kate Lowery said Thursday
that a couple dozen kombucha suppliers agreed to a voluntary
withdrawl of the products after conversations indicated the
alcohol levels may be elevated.
She did not know how much alcohol the drinks contained.
Product containing 0.5 percent or more of alcohol must carry
a government warning.
Lowery said the Austin-based company is working with
suppliers “to review these potential labeling issues for a swift
resolution.”
California-based Millennium Products Inc., which produces
a dozen varieties of kombucha products including GT’s, sold
at Whole Foods, did not immediately return a call or e-mail
from The Associated Press on Thursday.
Whole Foods has more than 290 stores in the U.S., Canada
and the United Kingdom.
Town uses ‘Sour Power’ to draw people in
ROSLYN, S.D. — Like so many tiny towns across the
Midwest, Rosyln was shrinking.
It was the 1990s and there seemed to be little hope of revers-
ing the trend and attracting people to this community, which
until then had been known only for being home to Myron
Floren, accordionist from “The Lawrence Welk Show.”
Which is why a consultant told Roslyn’s leaders that the best
bet for reinvigorating their community — population 200 —
was to come up with something unique, something to set the
town apart. Eyes turned to Lawrence Diggs, a San Francisco
transplant known around locally as “The Vinegar Man.”
“Someone looked at me and said, ’Well, he’s the most
unique person here,”’ Diggs recalled.
And so was hatched a plan to turn one man’s passion for
vinegar into a community revival project.
On a flight to Japan, Diggs, a passionate vinegar expert,
consultant and author, took some table napkins and scribbled
out a business plan for what would become the International
Vinegar Museum.

Foraging is green eating at its purest

By Cara Smusiak
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When people think of eco-friendly foods,

they often think of organic foods and family
farms. But foraging for wild foods is perhaps
the purest way to eat green.
Foraging is harvesting indigenous, wild
plants and fungi, as well as fishing and hunt-
ing — it’s all about eating what the land pro-
vides. Because foraged plants are indigenous,
they are best suited for the soil in your area, so
they grow efficiently and in abundance, with-
out the care, tending and treatments required
of farming. And since most people forage
close to home, the carbon footprint of your
foraged foods is almost zero.
While many people think foraging is for
people who live out in the country, nothing
could be further from the truth. Urban
dwellers can forage both in the city, and in
outlying areas.
Journalist and urban forager Becky Lerner
lived off foods she foraged for a week last
May, chronicling her culinary adventure at
CultureChange.org. Her mission was to eat
only foods she foraged from along sidewalks,
in parks and wilderness areas, and in yards
(gardens were off limits) in Portland.
Lerner, who writes about foraging at
FirstWays.com and teaches introductory
urban foraging, writes that foraging isn’t just
about finding sustenance during emergencies.
“At its core, wild food offers you a deeper
way to explore your relationship to the land
outside your door, to recognize the gifts Gaia
(the Greek goddess of the Earth) has left for
you.”

spent $5 million on consultants and envi-

construction.
First, the toxic soil from the old gas sta-
tion had to be removed and then there
were the Indian bones discovered on the
property.
The City Council approved Baner’s
plans in 2003 and construction started on
the Versailles Residences in December
2005.
About 90 contracts were in place as
construction on the luxury complex was
under way. Homes were selling in the
range of $800,000 to $2 million.
“We had the project sold out,” Baner
said.
By the time the 60-unit complex was
completed in April 2008, however, the
housing market dropped, contracts were
canceled and only about 28 units were
sold.
Versailles is filled with high-quality fur-
nishings, has a chef, concierge and trans-
portation services for its residents. It has
restaurants, recreation rooms and private
dining rooms as well as a fitness center.
Baner’s 93-year-old mother even lives
at Versailles.
The project cost a total of $67 million
with a consortium of 24 lenders supplying
the financing. Baner shelled out $16 mil-
lion of his money to complete Versailles.
In the two years since the project was
completed, home sales have been slowed
to a crawl and Baner had a hard time pay-
ing back the loans.
“This was my dream. I wanted it to be
my legacy,” said Baner, who is president

that while budget cuts to their respective
departments are not insurmountable,
they nonetheless have an effect.
Sheriff Greg Munks has seen a total of
25 positions cut over the last year and
further met his budget target by chang-
ing two jobs from sworn personnel to
civilians, cutting eight deputies from the
relief staffing pool, eliminating mental
health-specific training and closing the
jail lobby from midnight to 5 a.m. begin-
ning next week.
The last is not preferable and could
prove a safety risk but keeping the lobby
opened and staffed is not a priority com-
pared to other needs, Munks said.
A program which confiscates firearms
from those served with domestic vio-
lence-related restraining orders will end
next week when the grant money evapo-
rates. The program has removed more
than 222 firearms but cannot cover its
two deputies without the state money,
Munks said.
As in years past, Munks’ message
offered a peek at consistently over-
crowded correctional facilities and a
push for a new 768-bed jail. The week-
end population rate is more than 1,150 in
a facility rated for 834 and in the last six
months there are have two “significant
threats” to staff from gang members
because of the “hardening of the popula-
tion,” Munks said.
If the state makes good on plans to
release 40,000 inmates to local jurisdic-
tions, the situation could worsen, he
said.

“It appeared Brown tried to overdose
with prescription meds,” Hart said.
She was not immediately arrested but
trol the property as of June 10 and
although Baner no longer owns the
Versailles, he still believes in it.
The project is less than a third full now
and home prices have plunged 45 percent,
said Linda Druml, listing agent for the
property who works for Coldwell Banker.
Homeowners’ association fees are also
being discounted as Druml looks for per-
sons 55 or older who are ready to leave
behind and sell their current homes for
digs in downtown San Mateo.
A one-bedroom unit at the Versailles is
currently priced at $427,000, down signif-
icantly from the asking price two years
ago. It currently has 36 units on the mar-
ket.
Ray and Eileen Mauss were the
Versailles’ first residents on March 4,
2008. The couple put a deposit on their
unit way back in 2004. The building is
built to suit the disabled, which is perfect
for Eileen, who uses a wheelchair.
The couple lived in Mills Estate in
Burlingame for 40 years and were able to
sell their home in December 2007 before
the housing market collapsed.
Ray, 89, and Eileen, 91, consider the
neighbors they have to be an extended
family. But since most of the units in the

• Public Works Department
• Capital projects
• Agricultural Commissioner Sealer
District Attorney Jim Fox echoed the
sentiment, calling this “really a terrible
year” in terms of budgeting.
Fox, who gave his final budget presen-
tation before retiring, said in the last
year, his office reviewed nearly 22,000
cases and filed more than 17,000 — a
caseload of 341 cases per prosecutor.
While the office runs lean, Fox used a
recent spate of homicides — 14 so far in
2010 — to illustrate how volume can
unexpectedly increase.
Earlier this year, Fox butted heads
with the County Manager’s Office after
he was asked to cut $1.24 million from
his budget. By yesterday, the two had
compromised and Fox returned with just
more than half that in cuts to its $25.1
million budget. The cuts include four
positions which Fox said “should not be
adverse” to serving the public.
Coroner Robert Foucrault also said his
office is making do with less, even opt-
ing to use $56,000 in reserves to protect
one position. However, he said the pub-
lic might see delays in response times,
autopsies and body releases.
A common challenge running through
all departments presented yesterday was
a decline in money from Proposition 172
which collects sales tax for public safe-
ty.
instead taken to a hospital.
Police are awaiting the results of toxi-
cology reports but could not confirm the
mother may have tried to drug her chil-
dren before allegedly attempting to kill
them.
“We don’t know if they were
drugged,” Hart said.
Brown and her daughter are both

building sit empty, Ray and Eileen get the
extensive common areas in the building to
themselves a lot of the time.
“We are spoiled over here,” Ray said.
“We get the swimming pool and hot tub to
ourselves most of the time.”
His car insurance has even gone down
now that the couple can conveniently
stroll to downtown and nearby doctors’
offices.
“Hopefully it will get sold out,” Ray
Mauss said.
That is Druml’s hope, too.
Druml was hired by the bank that now
owns the property to be its exclusive list-
ing agent.
She envisions Versailles as a “commu-
nity” and hopes to fill up the units with
people who are ready to be pampered in
their golden years.
Currently, Druml is offering an addi-
tional 10 percent off the units at Versailles
to be applied toward homeowners’ fees for
several years. Those fees can range from
$1,300 to $3,600 a month depending on
the size of the unit.
“I’ve done my research and the units
here are priced right compared to other
buildings in the same market,” Druml
said.
Baner built his dream but no longer
owns it. That could be a benefit for those
looking for a senior-friendly lifestyle,
however, as prices have come down to a
more affordable range for many who
could not have afforded to buy-in to the
property just three years ago, Druml said.
“The story to me is, it is a great place to
live. Prices are reduced and there are good
deals right now,” Druml said.
As for the Indian bones, the local chief
of the Ohlone Indian Tribe requested the
bones remain on the property. They
remain buried in a corner on the lot.

The private defender program, in
which private attorneys contract with the
county for defense, presented a conces-
sion rather than a cut. The program,
which is in the last year of its agreement
and is waiving the 4 percent increase
included in its contract.
“It’s the right thing to do ... We’re all
riding the same boat on rough seas,” said
PDP Executive Director John
Digiacinto.
The presentations came during the
second day of hearings to determine the
2011 budget to be approved Wednesday
and ultimately adopted in late
September. Boesch recommended a $1.7
billion budget which pulls $90 million
from reserves and cuts $36 million from
programs. The budget year begins July
1.
Aside from the annual budget, county
leaders are also working on stalling —
and eliminating — a structural deficit
which could climb to $150 million with-
in five years without action. Likewise,
the $209 million left in general fund
reserves will be gone within two years if
the county is idle.

A greater emphasis than usual could be placed on your social
life in the year ahead. You could end up playing a more seri-
ous role in the affairs of special friends, which would end up
affecting your own situation in a most positive way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - It wouldn’t hurt for you to try
something different when it comes to a goal you’re trying to
achieve that has to do with your work or career -- larger than
usual gains could be realized.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Take some time to reorganize your
affairs and it will pay off handsomely, both with your relation-
ships with others and what you get out of it. A fresh approach
can do the trick.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Things could start to pay off in
two separate arrangements that you’ve been diligently laying
the groundwork on in hopes of making things easier for your-
self. You’ll see the first signs today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Because you and others with
whom you’ve been partnered have been working well with
each other, Lady Luck could soon be pitching in and providing
you with her benefits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - By handling things so adroitly
lately, you have generated opportunities for yourself where
your work or career is concerned. You could realize a payoff

instance, bigger is better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Someone who has been a
recipient of your generosity may be trying extra hard to work
out a special deal just for you. Good deeds you’ve done for
this individual are coming home to roost.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you’re asked to take on a
special position or participate on a committee of some impor-
tance, don’t hesitate to accept, even if it means shelving a
less significant project. It’ll pay off big for you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - There are some days that are
simply more fortunate for you career-wise and/or financially,
and this could be one of them. If you have anything good
going for you, tie it down now.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Go ahead and shoot for the
moon, because Dame Fortune is with you in going after a
large target. The only important thing is that you keep an
open mind about what you can acquire.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Things orchestrated by others
are likely to turn out to be more fortunate for you in the long
run, so don’t hesitate to hitch a ride on some else’s band-
wagon if you can.

General in Afghan war at risk of losing his job

By Anne Gearan
and Jennifer Loven
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama rebuked his
Afghanistan war commander for
“poor judgment” Tuesday and con-
sidered whether to fire him in the
most extraordinary airing of mili-
tary-civilian tensions since Harry
Truman stripped Gen. Douglas
MacArthur of his command a half
century ago.
The White House summoned
Gen. Stanley McChrystal to
Washington to explain disparaging
comments about his commander in
chief and Obama’s top aides. The
meeting set for Wednesday was a
last-ditch moment for the general
once considered the war’s brightest
hope.
Two military officials told the
Associated Press that McChrystal
would arrive prepared to hand in his
resignation. They spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak pub-
licly.
If not insubordination, the
remarks in a forthcoming Rolling
Stone magazine article were at least
an indirect challenge to civilian
management of the war in
Washington by its top military com-
mander.
“I think it’s clear that the article in
which he and his team appeared
showed a poor — showed poor
judgment,” the president said, sur-
rounded by members of his Cabinet
at the close of their meeting. “But I
also want to make sure that I talk to
The White House has summoned Gen.Stanley McChrystal to Washington
to explain controversial remarks critical of the Obama administration.
him directly before I make any final
decisions.”
The eruption comes as the war
and public support for it are at a tip-
ping point, a perilous time to
change military leadership. A
majority of Americans now say the
war is probably not worth fighting,
and Defense Secretary Robert Gates
has said that public dissatisfaction
means the U.S.-led international
coalition must show progress this
year.
In the article, McChrystal did not
criticize Obama directly but called
the period last fall when Obama was
deciding whether to approve more
troops “painful” and said the presi-
dent was handing him an
“unsellable” position.
McChrystal also said he was
“betrayed” by Ambassador Karl
REUTERS
Eikenberry, the man the White
House chose to be his diplomatic
partner in Afghanistan. He accused
Eikenberry of raising doubts about
the reliability of Afghan President
Hamid Karzai only to give himself
cover in case the U.S. effort failed.
“Here’s one that covers his flank
for the history books,” McChrystal
told the magazine. “Now, if we fail,
they can say ‘I told you so.”’
And he was quoted joking that he
doesn’t recognize Vice President
Joe Biden’s name.
As support for the general drained
in Washington, the showdown was
set to take place in two parts — as
part of Obama’s regular monthly
war meeting, in which McChrystal
usually participates by videoconfer-
ence, and a separate discussion with
Obama in the Oval Office.
Afghan politicians rally
around Gen.McChrystal
By Robert H. Reid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — Asked what would happen if
Afghan President Hamid Karzai
gave a strong endorsement
Tuesday to embattled Gen.
Stanley McChrystal, describing
him as the “best commander” of
the war and expressing hope that
he keeps his job despite a maga-
zine profile replete with derogato-
ry comments about President
Barack Obama and members of
the U.S. national strategy team.
While Obama’s relationship
with Karzai has sometimes been
rocky, McChrystal has cultivated
the Afghan leader, encouraging
him to visit remote areas of the
country and assume responsibility
for military operations against the
Taliban.
Karzai’s chief spokesman said
the Afghan leader believes
McChrystal is a person of “great
integrity” and had displayed a
very good understanding of the
Afghan people and the Afghan
culture.
“The president believes that
Gen. McChrystal is the best com-
mander that NATO and coalition
forces have had in Afghanistan
over the past nine years,”
spokesman Waheed Omar said.
Omar said McChrystal has worked
closely with Karzai since he took
command last year and that “lots
of things have improved.”
McChrystal were replaced, Omar
said: “Of course, we hope that that
does not happen.”
McChrystal also received a vote
of confidence from the secretary-
general of NATO, Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, who appeared con-
cerned over the impact of a possi-
ble change of command at a time
of rising casualties and faltering
political support within allied cap-
itals.
“The Rolling Stone article is
rather unfortunate, but it is just an
article,” the alliance said in a state-
ment issued in Brussels, Belgium.
“We are in the middle of a very
real conflict, and the secretary
general has full confidence in Gen.
McChrystal as the NATO com-
mander, and in his strategy.”
The U.S. Embassy followed
with its own statement, downplay-
ing any ongoing rift between
McChrystal and Ambassador Karl
Eikenberry, who was criticized in
the profile.
Kabul was abuzz Tuesday as the
flap unfolded throughout the day.
McChrystal publicly apologized
and made a round of phone calls to
those maligned by comments
made by him and his staff.

Japanese vote buying is the buzz of whaling meet

By Arthur Max
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AGADIR, Morocco — open, at least in the corridors of the
Accusations that Japan uses aid
money and personal favors to buy
votes have quietly circulated for
years around the International
Whaling Commission, which over-
sees the conservation of the whales
that Japan regularly hunts.
Now, a sting operation by a
London newspaper that secretly
filmed officials from six developing
countries negotiating for bribes has
brought such allegations into the
commission’s annual meeting.
The Sunday Times of London
secretly filmed the officials talking
with reporters who portrayed them-
selves as emissaries of a Swiss bil-
lionaire wanting anti-whaling votes
at the IWC’s meeting in Morocco.
The six indicated that any offer
from the Swiss would have to top
what Japan already gives them.
Tanzania’s top delegate was quoted
as saying he had accepted trips to
Japan, where he was offered free
“massages” in his hotel room,
which he said he declined.
For some of Japan’s harshest crit-
ics, the Sunday Times catching offi-
cials on tape acknowledging they
received benefits from Japan was
proof of undue influence on the 88-
nation commission, which in its
most important meeting in decades
is considering a proposal for a 10-
year suspension of the 1986 ban on
commercial whaling.
“Vote buying is the dirty little
secret at the IWC,” said environ-
mentalist Patrick Ramage, who
has been attending conferences for
15 years. He called it “a slow-
motion hostile takeover of an
international forum.” And while
all powerful nations try to wield
their influence, Japan’s “multiyear
sustained effort is really quite
unique,” he said Tuesday.
Japan denies any wrongdoing,
and says allegations of vote-buying
are meant to “devaluate” Japan’s
position at the IWC.
“It is national policy to support
developing countries,” said Hideki
Moronuki, of the Japanese ministry
for agriculture, forestry and fish-
eries. “Do you think that kind of
ODA (overseas development assis-
tance) is some kind of bribe? I don’t
think so.”
