Jail,probation for driver in coastal shooting
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The woman who prosecutors say drove a
man away from the Half Moon Bay gas sta-
tion where he allegedly shot another for
speaking with her was sentenced to 60 days in
jail for her role.
Samantha Warner, 19, of San Leandro,
pleaded no contest to a single felony charge of
being an accessory and was immediately sen-
tenced to 60 days in the county jail followed
by three years of supervised probation. She
has credit for 36 days and must serve half of
the remaining 24 days, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The change of plea settles Warner’s case a
mere two weeks after her arrest in the July 18
shooting. Her co-defendant, Brandon Michael
Sargentini, 29, of San Jose, however, still
faces trial on charges of attempted murder
with the allegation he discharged a firearm,
assault with a firearm, making criminal
threats, possession of a firearm by a felon and
LOCAL
causing great bodily
injury. He is scheduled for
a preliminary hearing Aug.
13.
Unlike Warner,
Sargentini didn’t have the
option of a superior court
review conference because
of the nature of his serious
charges, Wagstaffe said.
Samantha According to Half
Warner Moon Bay police, the cou-
ple and victim encountered each other at the
Alliance gas station at the intersection of State
Route 92 and Highway 1. The man was speak-
ing with Warner when Sargentini allegedly
confronted him, saying “If you want to talk to
her you got to pay me.”
After the man ignored the comment,
Sargentini allegedly punched him in the face,
threatened to kill him and shot him with a
revolver. The man raised his arm to protect
himself and was shot in the forearm.
A short time later, San Mateo police con-
nected the vehicle description to a previous
encounter by one of its
officers. Half Moon Bay
officers were able to get a
photo of Sargentini later
identified by a witness as
the shooter at the gas sta-
tion.
The two were arrested
after their vehicle was

Sargentini lot in Hayward. A hand-
gun was discovered in the
car.
Sargentini was previously convicted of rob-
bery in 1999 in San Mateo County but Warner
has no priors, according to court records.
Sargentini is being held in lieu of $1 mil-
lion. Warner is in on $500,000 bail and it was
unclear if she will continue serving her time
or be released and surrender at a later date.

Safeway: Millbrae store to open early 2012

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A new Safeway store in Millbrae — with
lots of extra parking, an outdoor patio and a
bank — could open by January 2012.
Safeway’s plans include tearing down the
store at 525 El Camino Real and rebuild a
podium building with street-level parking
both in front of and underneath the store. On
Monday, Safeway presented landscaping
plans for the new store to the Millbrae
Planning Commission. Now the proposal will
undergo an environmental impact review
process before coming back before the plans
are again reviewed by the city.
Safeway opened in Millbrae in 1962. It’s
currently 37,094 square feet with 92 parking
spaces, according to the staff report written by
contract planner Catherine Barber. Space was
added in the early ’90s.
The new proposal would demolish the cur-
rent building to create a 59,001-square-foot
store with 183 parking spots which would be
reached by using an escalator or elevator.
Inside the store will be a Seattle’s Best Coffee
and a U.S. Bank, said Susan Houghton, direc-
tor of public and government affairs for the
Safeway, Northern California division.
For Millbrae, a tiled mosaic depicting
California’s history on the front of the store
has long been of concern. Preserving the
mosaic has been a requirement any time work

Dellums announces he Church ‘regrets’gay marriage ruling
won’t seek re-election
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums
announced Wednesday that he won’t
seek re-election in November.
Dellums, 74, was elected mayor in
June 2006 and took office in January
2007. His term expires next January.
Born in Oakland in 1935, Dellums
previously represented the Oakland
area in Congress for 27 years and
worked as a lobbyist.
Dellums’ announcement comes
just two days before Friday’s deadline
for filing papers for the mayoral elec-
tion. But because the incumbent
won’t be running, the deadline will be
extended until a week from yesterday.
In a statement issued by his office,
Dellums said, “Five years ago, my
wife and I accepted the call to service
based on our love of Oakland, our
home, and our lifelong commitment
to public service.”
“I have dedicated 35 incredible years

reach the end of this term, I am proud
to see an Oakland that is more

empowered to continue the important
work that lies ahead.”
He continued, “I have been pro-

It is not the end though. People
have worked hard to have the con-

Not all local clergy agree with

LOCAL/STATE/NATION
By Brock Vergakis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
says it regrets a federal judge’s ruling
overturning a ban on gay marriage in
California.
Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn
Walker made his ruling Wednesday in
a lawsuit filed by two gay couples
who claimed the voter-approved ban
violated their civil rights.
In 2008, church leaders urged
Mormons to give their time and
money to support Proposition 8,
which passed with 52 percent of the
vote.
Church members were among the
campaign’s most vigorous volunteers
and by some estimates contributed
tens of millions of dollars to the
effort.
That involvement frequently made
the church a target for much of the
anger gay rights supporters felt after
California voters approved the ballot
measure. Some people also decided
to boycott Utah — home to church
headquarters — as a result of its
a social agenda down our throats.”
San Mateo resident Marjorie
Woeller, 79, supports the judge’s
decision.
“Yes. I think it’s only fair if two
people love each other. It doesn’t
matter the sex,” Woeller said.
Another San Mateo resident,
however, calls the whole affair a
waste.
“It’s been voted on numerous
times. It’s a waste of time in the
courts, of public money and gov-
ernment money,” said Mike
Gallagher, 57, who is retired.
Marriage Equality USA was
involvement, although the impact
was minimal.
The Utah Pride Center and other
gays rights groups and activists
planned a celebration of the ruling
Wednesday evening at the Utah
Capitol, blocks away from church
headquarters.
“Proposition 8 has had a huge
impact on Utah. The LDS church’s
involvement in prop 8 was very divi-
sive for Utah, for families and for
LGBT Mormons and today reaf-
founded 1998 and is an all-volun-
teer, national organization whose
mission is to secure legally recog-
nized civil marriage equality for
all, at the federal and state level,
without regard to gender identity
or sexual orientation.
Proposition 8 was a voter-initi-
ated ballot measure that passed in
2008. It was put on the ballot five
months after the state Supreme
Court legalized gay marriage and
four years after San Francisco
Mayor Gavin Newsom ordered
the county clerk to issue marriage
licenses to same-sex couples. The
THE DAILY JOURNAL
firmed that we’re OK,” said center
spokesman Michael Westley.
The church said the decision
reopens a vigorous debate over the
right of the people to define marriage.
“There is no doubt that today’s rul-
ing will add to the marriage debate in
this country and we urge people on all
sides of this issue to act in a spirit of
mutual respect and civility toward
those with a different opinion,”
church spokeswoman Kim Farah
wrote in a statement.
U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah,
also issued a statement blasting the
ruling.
“Today, one federal judge trumped
seven million voters by making up a
right that is not in the Constitution,”
Hatch said. “This is what happens
when judges make up the
Constitution as they go along, when
judges rather than the Constitution
are the supreme law of the land.”
Like many faiths, Mormons believe

Jobs bill to stop teacher layoffs nears approval
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Last-minute money to
save the jobs of tens of thousands of teachers
and other public workers overcame a
Republican filibuster Wednesday and sped
toward Senate passage. The House, under
pressure to help hard-pressed schools nation-
wide, was being called back from its summer
break for an expected final vote next week.
The $26 billion measure would help states
ease their severe budget problems and —
advocates said — stop the layoffs of nearly
300,000 teachers, firefighters, police and
other public employees. Though scaled
back, the bill also would salvage a victory

A $162 million bond measure to update

the November ballot last night with little dis-

On Wednesday, the South San Francisco
Unified School District Board of Trustees
voted 4-0-1, with Trustee Shirlee Hoch not
voting since she was absent, to place a $162
million bond measure on the November bal-
lot. The measure could upgrade school facili-

The legislation advanced by a 61-38 tally
that all but ensured it would pass the Senate on
Thursday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
she would call the House back into session
next week to approve the measure to get it to
Obama for his signature before most schools
reopen.
Many Republicans objected to the expense
at a time of record budget deficits, but moder-
ate Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe and
Susan Collins of Maine cast the key votes to
break the filibuster — as they did last month in
helping Democrats pass a six-month extension

Bond funds could support a laundry list of

Crush of mud finally plugs BP’s well
By Greg Bluestein and Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — In the end, it was a
crush of mud that finally plugged the blown-
out well in the Gulf of Mexico, three months
after the offshore drilling rig explosion that
unleashed a gusher of oil and a summer of
misery along the Gulf Coast.
The government stopped just short of pro-
nouncing the well dead, cautioning that
cement and mud must still be pumped in from
the bottom to seal it off for good.
President Barack Obama declared that the
battle to contain one of the world’s worst oil
spills is “finally close to coming to an end.”
Yet after months of living with lost income,
fouled shorelines and dying wildlife, some
Gulf Coast residents weren’t so sure.
“I don’t think we’ve finished with this,” said
59-year-old Harry “Cho-cho” Cheramie, who
grew up in Grand Isle, La. “We haven’t really
started to deal with it yet. We don’t know
what effect it’s going to have on our seafood
in the long run.”
Still, it appeared there might finally be an
end in sight to the disaster that closed vast
stretches of fishing areas, interrupted the usu-
ally lucrative tourist season, and cost BP’s
CEO his job and the company’s shareholders
billions of dollars.
BP PLC said 2,300 barrels of mud forced
down the well overnight — an operation
called a “static kill” — had pushed the crude
back down to its source for the first time since
the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off
Louisiana on April 20. The explosion killed
11 workers and began the spill that sent tar
balls washing onto beaches and oil oozing
into delicate coastal marshes.
Later Wednesday night, National Incident
Commander Thad Allen said he approved
BP’s plan to begin forcing cement down the
well, as long as it didn’t delay work on the
relief well. BP officials said they planned to
begin pumping cement on Thursday.
And there was more seemingly good news:
A National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration report released Wednesday
claimed that only about 30 percent of the
spilled oil remains in the Gulf and is degrad-
ing quickly. The rest has been contained or
cleaned up or otherwise disappeared, and the
report also said the oil no longer poses a threat
Group sues to stop mosque
near New York’s ground zero
NEW YORK — A conservative advocacy
group founded by the Rev. Pat Robertson is
suing to try to block a planned Islamic com-
munity center and mosque near ground
zero.
The mosque proposal has become a ful-
crum for balancing religious freedom and
the legacy of the Sept. 11 attacks. It would
be two blocks from ground zero.
The American Center for Law and Justice
says it filed a petition Wednesday challeng-
ing a city panel’s decision to let developers
tear down a building to make way for the
mosque. The Washington-based group is
representing a firefighter who survived the
terrorist attacks.
Opponents say the mosque plan insults the
memory of those killed by Islamic terrorists
nearly nine years ago. Supporters see it as a
monument to tolerance.

to the Florida Keys or the East Coast.
But some independent experts said they
were concerned that the government’s method
of estimating the amount was too simple for
such a complex spill, and even government
scientists cautioned the rosy numbers do not
mean the Gulf is out of harm’s way.
The containment effort — and the cleanup
— aren’t finished either. Federal officials said
they won’t declare complete victory until they
pump in mud and cement from the bottom to
seal the well, a procedure that might not be
done for weeks.
“We’re in a good place today, but we want
to get it permanent over the near term,
whether that’s days or weeks,” said Kent
Wells, BP senior vice president, who repeat-
edly and pointedly avoided saying the static
kill had finished the job. Asked when he will
be able to say the well is dead, he replied:

911: Conn. shooter chased

HARTFORD, Conn. — The vice president

Steve Hollander’s 911 call was released

California judge yesterday
overturned the voter initiative ban-

appeals but also giving some victo-

Even as the ruling is stayed and
opponents strategize their next
steps to decide who is worthy of
getting married, those on the tri-
umphant side of the ruling are
happy to have some legal weight
behind their opinion. Those who
want to marry look forward to the
day they can legally pick out china

thousands who did get married in
that narrow stretch two years ago

shortly after word came down they
wed in a quick civil service at the
county clerk’s office and hurried to
make an Oakland A’s baseball

After so many years together,
seems a marriage ceremony was
special but, frankly, not the pinna-
cle of their relationship.
There was family tamale making
on Christmas Eve with Tina’s fami-

side. There were decisions about
time shares and dinners with
friends and baby-sitting of nieces
and nephews. There was home buy-

sions about children. There was
catching up on work gossip and
picking which wine club to join
and splitting chores and paying
bills and fights and hugs and laughs
and remembering to put the cap on

Stocks rise on job growth

Major indexes rose after payroll com-

FTC: Intel deal benefits computer buyers
By Jordan Robertson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The Federal
Trade Commission is trumpeting its set-
tlement with Intel Corp. as a victory for
consumers who have overpaid for com-
puter chips for a decade, though com-
puter buyers shouldn’t expect a sudden
drop in prices.
The deal announced Wednesday repre-
sents the end to the harshest antitrust
lawsuit Intel has faced yet from govern-
ment regulators, and it imposes the
strictest set of changes onto the way
Intel does business.
But any changes as a result of the
FTC’s actions would likely be gradual,
and possibly imperceptible, to most peo-
ple.
One reason is that the prices for com-
puter chips have steadily fallen anyway
as technological advancements make it
cheaper for companies such as Intel to

Despite the upbeat earnings and bet-

Intel, FTC antitrust settlement
The antitrust settlement between Intel Corp.
and the Federal Trade Commission requires
that Intel change its business in several key
ways:
• Intel can’t cut deals with computer makers in
which they’re promised benefits or payments
if they avoid chips from Intel’s rivals,and Intel
can’t retaliate against computer makers that
do business with Intel’s rivals.
• Intel must modify its intellectual-property

its position as the No. 1 supplier of both

White Sox second-best in the West

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After dropping its opening game
in the Palomino West Zone baseball
tournament Saturday at the MLB
Urban Youth Academy in Compton,
San Mateo was faced with a daunt-
ing task.
The White Sox would need to win
four games over the next three days
just to get to the championship
round. Fittingly enough, they did
just that. Alas, San Mateo’s run
came to an end Tuesday when it
dropped an 8-1 decision to the
Colton Nighthawks, who will repre-
sent the West region in the upcom-
ing World Series in San Jose. Had
San Mateo won, it would’ve forced
a Wednesday winner-take-all con-
test.
“Don’t get me wrong — I wanted
to go the World Series,” White Sox
manager Lenny Souza said. “(But
after losing our first game) just get-
ting to the championship (round)
made me extremely proud of our
guys.”
San Mateo (35-10) lost its tourna-
ment opener to the host squad
Urban Youth Academy, 7-2, before
defeating West Covina 13-3 Sunday.
Then the White Sox won two games
Monday to stay alive, beating
Arroyo Seco 8-4 and the Southern
California Rangers, 3-2. Tuesday,
San Mateo exacted payback with a
6-1 victory over the Urban Youth
Academy to advance to the champi-
onship round.
Unfortunately, Colton proved to
be too tough. Souza got three scout-
ing reports on the Nighthawks, who
started left-hander Dylan Stewart.
According to Souza, Stewart has a
scholarship to play at U.C.
Riverside. He topped out in the low
80 mph range but was flat-out dom-
inant.
“He would pump it up to 82 when
he needed to,” Souza said. “But the
dude was flat-out nasty. He had a
filthy curveball and changeup, and
he was like a left-handed (former
MLB great) Greg Maddux. He did-
n’t have the best stuff you’ve ever
seen, but his arm speed was always
the same, so you never could tell
what he was doing.”
In addition to Stewart’s vast pitch-
ing repertoire, he had a lethal pick-
off move, too. Stewart picked off
five San Mateo baserunners, and by
the fifth inning Souza told his play-
ers he wouldn’t be mad at them even
if they didn’t — that’s right, didn’t
— take a step off the bag before his
pitches.
“We got seven hits against him,
but were picked off five times,”
Souza said. “His pickoff move was
just a mystery.”
Souza basically said the entire

Jimenez shuts down Giants Oakland holds off Royals
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Ubaldo Jimenez won his
major league-leading 17th game, Carlos
Gonzalez homered twice and the Colorado
Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1 on
Wednesday.
Troy Tulowitzki also homered for the
streaking Rockies, who have won five of six
and played some of their best baseball of the
season since the All-Star break.
Jimenez (17-2) became the fourth Rockies
pitcher to win 17 games and the first since Jeff
Francis did it in 2007, when Colorado reached
the World Series. Kevin Ritz (1996) and Pedro
Astacio (1999) were the other pitchers to win
17 games in a season for the franchise.
The Rockies’ ace rebounded from a rare
poor start against San Francisco on July 3,
when he allowed seven runs in the third inning
in an 11-8 loss. This time, he allowed only
one run and four hits while striking out nine in
seven dazzling innings.
Jimenez helped his own cause, too, when
the Rockies took the lead in the second. Chris
Iannetta led off with a single and moved to
third on Jimenez’s two-out infield single.
Ryan Spilborghs followed with a double to
the gap in left-center field, giving Colorado a
2-0 lead.

OAKLAND — Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a
tiebreaking, two-run double in the sixth inning to
back Brett Anderson, and the Oakland Athletics
beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Wednesday to
win the three-game series.
Oakland fell behind 2-0 in the first but rallied by
taking advantage of two Royals errors in the sixth,
when Kurt Suzuki also drove in a run.
Anderson (3-2) allowed three hits and two runs,
struck out four and walked one in seven innings to
win for the first time since May 29. It was a solid
outing for the lefty in his second start since com-
ing off his second stint on the disabled list this year
because of inflammation in his throwing elbow.
The A’s won their fourth series in six tries since
the All-Star break.
Billy Butler hit a first-inning sacrifice fly and
Jose Guillen followed by driving in a run against
his former team for the Royals, who are 1-5
against the A’s this season.
The A’s finally got to Sean O’Sullivan (1-2) in
the sixth inning, while Anderson settled down after
the first. He faced the minimum in the second and
seventh and had 1-2-3 innings in the third, fifth and
sixth.
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a solo homer in the
eighth off Craig Breslow. Michael Wuertz struck
out the side in order in the ninth for his fourth save
in as many tries.
O’Sullivan (1-2) is still looking for his first vic-
tory since joining the Royals. He made his first
slapping outstretched hands above their heads.
Jeter also had been on base for his 500th
homer.
“A lot of good things for him to come. He’s got
another 15 years,” Jeter said. “You never know
how many he’d going to hit.”
Rodriguez was greeted after the homer by the
rest of the Yankees. After stepping off the field,
then coming out for a curtain call, he kept on
receiving congratulations in the dugout.
Toronto manager Cito Gaston was playing for
the San Diego Padres the day Mays hit his 600th
in 1969 — although Gaston didn’t get into that
day’s game.
“I don’t think too many guys can say they saw
a 600th homer hit by two different guys,” he said.
Rodriguez rated the experience under winning
the World Series last year — and even not as sig-
nificant as passing players on the career list.
“We’re fascinated by even numbers. The real
milestone is when you start surpassing some of
the all-time greats,” he said. “No personal
achievement can compare to celebrating on the
mound and being the last team standing.”
The ball he hit was the 104th specially marked
one that had been used for each of his plate
appearances since reaching No. 599. The Yankees

drove in a run despite reaching on an error by third
baseman Mike Aviles.
Right fielder Rajai Davis stole a hit from Kila
Ka’aihue in the top of the seventh with a running,
leaping catch against the wall in the far corner.
Guillen was back in right field for the series
finale after a long stretch as designated hitter.
Manager Ned Yost believes Guillen is more effec-
tive offensively when he’s in the field, though he
still went 0 for 4 and now is mired in an 0-for-21
funk.
His last hit was a double last Friday against
Baltimore, and he was 0 for 11 this series.
Mark Ellis singled in the second to give him a

club that drafted him.

The milestone provided a lift during a trying
stretch for the Yankees. Not only have they
watched Tampa Bay pass them for the AL East
lead, they are mourning the deaths last month of
owner George Steinbrenner, beloved public-
address announcer Bob Sheppard and former
manager Ralph Houk.
Rodriguez regretted the Boss wasn’t around to
witness the moment, even though it likely would
have caused A-Rod grief. “I guess the last two
weeks it wouldn’t have been a lot of fun for me
with him looking over us,” Rodriguez said.
A-Rod’s life changed in February 2009, when
in response to a SportsIllustrated.com report, he
admitted to using steroids while playing for the
Texas Rangers from 2001-03, a span when he hit
156 homers. He also had major hip surgery, final-
ly returning with a team-first outlook.
“Often in my career I’ve said things and it’s
been hot air and I haven’t really followed
through,” he said. “But I think for the most part
over the last two years I’ve done my best to walk
the walk. And, again, I think I still have a lot of
work to do, both on and off the field.”

Hard work carries Jerry Rice to Hall of Fame
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The sto-
ries about Jerry Rice’s unparalleled
work ethic are as much a part of his
legend as numbers that made him
the NFL’s greatest receiver.
The young boy who gained his
speed by chasing after horses. The
dedicated son who learned about
determination from his father while
catching bricks during sweltering
Mississippi summers.
The teenager sent to the football
coach because of the speed he
showed running away from a princi-
pal while playing hooky. And the
frequent 2 1/2-mile uphill sprints
that kept him in tiptop shape as an
NFL star.
For former teammate Steve
Young, the story that best describes
Rice’s drive comes a few weeks
after the San Francisco 49ers won
the Super Bowl in January 1995.
Young arrived one day at the
team’s practice facility to clean out
his locker and saw Rice out on the
field running sprints and catching
passes from the groundskeeper
nearly seven months before the start
of the next season.
“When people talk about Jerry’s
work ethic and say, ’Oh it’s really
extreme, they do it a disservice,”
Young said. “There’s an iron will to
it. It’s over his dead body. Jerry to
the core was driven. You belittle that
drive by saying he had just a great
work ethic. Most people have an off
switch and they choose when to go
all out. Jerry didn’t have an off
switch.”
Rice kept that switch on since he
started playing high school in
Mississippi, through his record-set-
ting college career at Mississippi
Valley State, to a 20-year career in
49ers’ rookie lineman Iupati making early strides
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Just four days
into training camp, Mike Iupati already
has become one of the most prominent
and talked about figures on the San
Francisco 49ers’ revamped offensive
line.
the NFL that
landed him in
the Pro Football
Hall of Fame.
Rice was
elected on his
first try and will
be inducted into
the Hall on
Saturday, along
Jerry Rice
with Emmitt
Smith, John Randle, Russ Grimm,
Rickey Jackson, Floyd Little and
Dick LeBeau.
“There was no way I was going to
be denied,” Rice said. “I kept work-
ing hard and my dream came true. I
tell kids do not let any obstacles
stand in your way. If you want to
achieve something go for it. I’m liv-
ing proof with my background and
where I came from. I didn’t give up
and I wanted to be the best football
player I could possibly be in the
NFL and I was able to accomplish
that.”
Record-setting receiver
Rice holds virtually every signifi-
cant receiving mark, including most
career receptions (1,549); yards
receiving (22,895); total touch-
downs (208); and combined net
yards (23,546) in his career with
San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle.
Numbers are only one way to
measure Rice’s greatness. But con-
sider this: Rice has 447 more catch-
es than Marvin Harrison in second
place and 7,687 more yards receiv-
ing than Isaac Bruce in second
place. The difference between Rice
and second place eclipses the career
production of Hall of Famer Lynn
Swann, who finished with 336
catches and 5,462 yards receiving.
“Jerry expanded the position of
wide receiver so much that there
may never be another guy who
That’s sort of the way both Iupati and
the 49ers had it planned when the team
made him the No. 17 overall selection
in the draft this spring. They just didn’t
expect it to happen this soon.
But now that the rookie is settling in
at left guard and taking most of the
snaps with San Francisco’s first-team

comes around and expands on the
position,” Young said. “I don’t know
if you can say that about any other
position. Peyton Manning has come
around and done things that we did-
n’t do. It happens at every position.
But I can’t imagine another receiver
coming around who expands on
what he did.”
Rice’s journey started far away
from the bright lights under which
he excelled so much while winning
three Super Bowls and so many
other accolades in the NFL.
Started at home
It is in Mississippi where the self-
described high school “nerd” turned
into a football player almost by
coincidence. Skipping class one
day, Rice was confronted by the
principal and ran away. Rice
received a whipping for his misbe-
havior and a referral to the football
coach because his speed was so
impressive.
Rice credits his speed to his chas-
ing down a beautiful black stallion
named Pete. Rice had to run after
the horse in order to ride it each day
and did what it took to get that
reward.
His hands and focus were honed
working for his brick mason father
on scorching hot days. Rice would
stand on the scaffolding and catch
bricks from his brothers to hand to
his dad — with any dropped brick
being deducted from his pay check.
“Even though I was not playing
football, I was preparing myself for
it,” he said.
Rice took to the game quickly but
was only visited by one college. It
just happened to be one that fit his
game perfectly so he went to
Mississippi Valley State to play in
the run-and-shoot under coach
Archie Cooley.
offense, coach Mike Singletary can’t
deny he’s pleased with Iupati’s
progress.
“I’m liking what I’m seeing there,”
Singletary said Wednesday. “He’s very
mature, he’s hungry and he wants to
play. He wants to take advantage of
every opportunity he gets.”
Despite catching 112 passes for
1,845 yards and 28 touchdowns his
senior year, Rice lasted until 16th in
the 1985 draft when 49ers coach
Bill Walsh traded three draft picks
to New England in one of his
shrewdest moves ever.
He was the third receiver taken in
the draft, following Al Toon to the
New York Jets and Eddie Brown to
the Cincinnati Bengals. He lacked
game-breaking speed that many
teams covet, running the 40-yard
dash in 4.6 seconds, but was almost
never caught from behind on the
field.
Start to pro career was rocky
His transition to the NFL wasn’t
seamless as he admits to some seri-
ous jitters when he walked into the
locker room of the Super Bowl
champion 49ers.
“When I first stepped into that
locker room I looked across and
there was Joe Montana and Ronnie
Lott, all of these Hall of Famers and
I’m in the room with these guys,”
Rice said. “At first it was like a deer
in the headlights.”
Rice struggled with some drops
early in his career, leading some to
question why he was a first-round
pick. But Lott saw something right
away in Rice, who beat the future
Hall of Famer with a sly double
move on one of the first days of
practice.
Then Lott saw Rice’s reaction to
the drops and knew he would
become a star.
“You didn’t see many rookies
with the ability to perform precision
routes like that. It just seemed natu-
ral to Jerry,” Lott said. “After he had
a rough game with a couple of
drops, I saw him sitting at his lock-
er crying. For a lot of people when
they lose, it’s not personal. For him

No doubt he
would be the best
Rice’s breakthrough came on a
Monday night late in his rookie sea-
son when he had 10 catches for 241
yards in a win over the Los Angeles
Rams.
“I knew into that game and I did
not have to think about anything,”
he said. “I knew the system. Now I
could just go out there and just play.
That was the start for me. But I
never gave in the situation of, ’OK,
I have arrived now.’ I always wanted
to come back the next year and have
a better season. That was the extra
incentive to stay focused and con-
tinue to work hard.”
That game started his record
streak of 274 consecutive games
with a catch as the records started to
fall. He had 11 straight 1,000-yard
receiving seasons starting the next
year; had a then-record 22 touch-
down catches in 12 games of the
strike-shortened 1987 season; won
the Super Bowl MVP following the
1988 season with 11 catches for 215
yards against Cincinnati and had a
record 1,848 receiving yards in
1995.
Rice never let up. Not after a dev-
astating knee injury in the opener of
the 1997 season and not after being
released by San Francisco in 2001
and reviving his career in Oakland
for one last Super Bowl run.
“He was so meticulous about
making sure he never compromised
the integrity of being a great receiv-
er,” Lott said. “It can happen when
you get older. He could have done it
after his knee surgery or when he
went to the Raiders. But he never
compromised the integrity about
being meticulous with his effort.”

NFL’s Goodell wants HGH blood testing
By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHBURN, Va. — NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell says the league wants to test
players for human growth hormone “to pro-
tect the integrity of our game.”
In an interview with The Associated Press
while riding with former NFL coach and TV
broadcaster John Madden on the Madden
Cruiser between visits Wednesday to the
Ravens and Redskins training camps, Goodell
called the HGH issue a key element of ongo-
ing labor negotiations involving owners and
the players’ union.
“It’s very important. It’s about the integrity
of the game. It’s about player health and safe-
ty,” Goodell told the AP. “It’s about making
sure that we’re doing everything to protect our
players and to protect the integrity of our
game.”
He later made similar comments while
speaking to a group of reporters at Redskins
camp.

other proof that they had

The NFL has told the
players’ union it would
like to add HGH to the list
of drugs in the league’s
testing program. The
Roger Goodell union has opposed blood
tests.
“We think it’s important to have HGH test-
ing, to make sure we ensure that we can take
performance-enhancing substances out of the
game. Unfortunately, the only way to test for
that, on any reliable basis right now, is
through blood testing,” Goodell said.
“And if your objective is to take it out of the
game,” he added, “that’s the only way to do it.
... That’s why we proposed it.”
Told of Goodell’s comments Wednesday,
the NFL Players Association replied via e-
mail to the AP that it would “stick to” an ear-
lier statement from director of player services

Preventing athletes from using HGH is con-
sidered a key target in the anti-doping move-
ment. The substance is hard to detect, and ath-
letes are believed to choose HGH for a variety
of benefits, whether they be real or only per-
ceived — including increasing speed and
improving vision.
Last month, Major League Baseball imple-
mented random blood testing for HGH in the
minors, making it the first U.S. professional
sports league to take that aggressive step
against doping. Baseball was able to impose
that on players with minor-league contracts
because they are not members of the players’
association, which means blood testing is not
subject to collective bargaining.

shredder to enjoy the sport of surfing, it also
serves as a fundraiser for Pacifica’s
Environmental Family, a nonprofit group that
organizes local beach cleanups, restores native
habitat and educates about local ecology. The
Surfrider Foundation also benefits from the
fundraiser.
There are up to 14 different age-group con-
tests — in both shortboard and longboard —
divided by age. The youngest age group is 40
to 49 years old, while the oldest is 75 to 79.
There is also a stand-up paddle surf category, as
well as a team event — the Intergenerational,
which consists of teams of six and must repre-
sent three generations of surfers.
Although the contest is entering its second
decade of existence, it remains, at its heart, a
grass-roots event. Earnest has a trophy building
party every year — in which he invites anyone
willing to come out to help make the trophies
to be awarded. The trophies are made with
driftwood. The setup of the contest the day
before is essentially a community barn-raising
event, the sponsors are local and the entire
event setup and management is staffed by vol-
unteers.
“It’s my way of creating a community-serv-
ice event,” Earnest said. “I just invite people to
help me and people respond year after year. It’s
really heartening for me. It’s great to see so
many people respond.
“I have to do a lot of begging, a lot of asking,
and people respond. I don’t seek out huge cor-
porate sponsorship. I want it to be a grass-roots
event.”
Talk about people responding. Earnest said
he was talking with his mechanic the other day,
telling him he was renting a truck to transport
equipment to the beach. The mechanic asked
how much the rental would cost. Earnest told

would pick up that bill.
Even the surf community is hip to the con-
test. Earnest said he sets up a sign at the beach
promoting the event. He said a surfer in his 30s
came up to him and asked: “Are you the guy
that puts on that surf contest?”
When Earnest said he was, the surfer
responded, “I can’t wait to be 40 and be in the
contest!”
Earnest said 60 contestants have already
signed up and he expects about another dozen
or so to sign up at the beach Saturday. There is
an entry fee to compete, but it’s free to watch
the event. There is also a post-contest party
beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Pedro Point
Firehouse. Cost for the party is sliding scale
between $10 and $20.

Shiancoe said Wednesday he still had not

“People really like to come and hang out

that while many people may live along the
coast, many find an excuse not to go to the
beach very often.
“[The contest] gives them an excuse to hang
out at the beach. They make an exception for
this. Then we have this great party afterward.”
If you can’t make it this year, there is always
the 12th annual Kahuna Kupuna contest next

Favre has considered retiring every summer
since 2002. It led to an ugly parting with the
Packers that got him traded from Green Bay to
the Jets in 2008. After a so-so season in New
York, he announced his retirement in early 2009

Iupati already is there, at least while Baas con-
tinues to sit out practice on a day-to-day basis.
Could Iupati already be there to stay?
“I can’t control that,” Iupati said. “That’s the
big man’s call. There’s a lot of training camp to
go and there are a lot of things I need to work on.
But it’s intense and it’s physical out there, and I’m
having fun. This is an early opportunity for me,
and I just have to get better every day and keep on
grinding.”
Iupati’s ability to grind in
the trenches has been one of
his most impressive quali-
ties. The 331-pound mauler
has displayed the power and
strength that made him one
of the top line prospects in
the draft, smothering line-
backers more than a few
Mike Iupati times during team drills.
That’s exactly what the
49ers want but haven’t been getting enough of in
recent seasons.
“We were not good enough up front (last
year),” Singletary said. “It’s as simple as that.”
Iupati and Davis were brought in to change
that, and so far the results have been promising.
The 323-pound Davis is on a more gradual
learning curve at right tackle, where he’s expect-
ed to challenge incumbent Adam Snyder for the
starting role. But Davis took most of the first-
team snaps Wednesday with Snyder moving to
right guard in place of regular starter Chilo
Rachal.
Rachal collapsed during Tuesday afternoon’s
practice and was motionless on the turf before he
was taken to the locker room on a cart suffering
from what the team called dehydration. Rachal

“That’s what I love about him and that’s what a

Locally grown fruit latest trend in spa treatment By Jacob Adelman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Visitors have
long flocked to the hilly Southern
California hamlet of Ojai to get
stuffed with the Pixie tangerines
grown as a specialty in the area’s cit-
rus groves.
Now they’re going to get scrubbed
with them too.
The Ojai Valley Inn and other spas
across the country are cashing in on
the craze for locally grown fruits and
herbs by integrating them into skin
treatments and massage therapies.
Customers say they like knowing
they’re supporting small, local farms
and appreciate the freshness of the
items used.
“When they put this stuff on, I can
smell fresh juice,” said Ojai Valley
Inn guest Julia Pizzinat, 70, who had
Treatments using products from local farms are a niche offering, so their the 50-minute, $145 Pixie Tangerine

increasingly opting for such luxuries. halved tangerines as applicators for a
sugar-based exfoliant. “It’s not like
something that’s been made in
Milwaukee and sent out in crates.”
Guests’ greatest demand used to be
for treatments employing exotic
ingredients from far-off places, such
as heavily perfumed body creams
from Europe, spa managers said. But
over the past few years, the local
food movement firmly entrenched in
the nation’s pricier restaurants has
spread to spas.
Treatments using products from
local farms are a niche offering, so
their sales haven’t been separately
tracked. But spa managers say guests
are increasingly opting for such lux-
uries.
Atlanta-based spa consultant Mark
Wuttke said demand is being driven
by a desire for a unique experience
tied to a spa’s location.
“People are looking for a more
authentic experience,” he said.
“People don’t necessarily want to
have the same experience in Florida
THE DAILY JOURNAL
as they have in New York as they
have in California as they have in
Dubai.” He cautioned, however, that
spas using locally grown ingredients
risk disappointing guests who expect
to get the same services year-round.
Most crops grow only part of the
year.
“There are seasonal variations,”
Wuttke said. “I can offer it today, but
if you come back in six months’
time, you might not be able to have
that because it’s no longer available.”
Emily Walker, who manages the
Spa Hotel Healdsburg in California’s
Sonoma County, said using local
ingredients fits with the ethos
already embraced by many wine
country visitors.
One of her spa’s treatments fea-
tures a salve of wine and honey from
the nearby Quivara Vineyards.
Another uses a massage oil made
with the same locally grown Meyer
lemons found on the spa restaurant’s
menu.

People in the Castro neighborhood toasted
with champagne as word of the ruling
spread.
In New York City, about 150 people
gathered outside a lower Manhattan court-
house. They carried signs saying “Our
Love Wins” as organizers read portions of
the ruling.
Walker methodically rejected every
argument posed by sponsors of the ban in
response to a lawsuit filed by two gay cou-
ples who claimed Proposition 8, the voter-
approved ban, violated their civil rights.
“Proposition 8 singles out gays and les-
bians and legitimates their unequal treat-
ment,” the judge wrote in his 136-page
opinion. “Proposition 8 perpetuates the
stereotype that gays and lesbians are inca-
pable of forming long-term loving rela-
tionships and that gays and lesbians are
not good parents.”
Standing in front of eight American
flags at a news conference, the two cou-
ples behind the case beamed and choked
up as they related their feelings of valida-
tion.

Despite the favorable ruling for same-

Judge Walker said he wants to decide
whether his order should be suspended

California’s electorate passed
Proposition 8 with 52 percent of the vote
in November 2008 after the most expen-
sive political campaign on a social issue in
U.S. history.
Supporters argued the ban was neces-
sary to safeguard the traditional under-
standing of marriage and to encourage
responsible childbearing.
Walker, however, found it violated the
Constitution’s due process and equal pro-
tection clauses while failing “to advance
any rational basis in singling out gay men
and lesbians for denial of a marriage
license.”

embarrassing. How could they do that?”
State Attorney General Jerry Brown
has opened an investigation into employ-
ment records to determine whether civil
or criminal action should be taken
against city leaders over the secretive
salaries in Bell, a Los Angeles County
suburb with a population of about
40,000.
City councilmembers in San Mateo,
with a population of about 93,000, make
$600 a month and its top administrators
make in the range of $180,000 to
$220,000 a year, for instance. The city
also posts public employee salaries on
its website, said City Manager Susan
Loftus.
“All city managers think it is outra-
geous,” Loftus said about Bell’s exces-
sive payroll. “It is unfortunate that it has
clouded the perception of public
employee salaries, though. We’ve had
our salaries posted online for a long
time. This is not new to us.”
In Foster City, salaries are posted in
the City Clerk’s office, said Mayor Rick
Wykoff.
Wykoff does not oppose publicly post-
ing the salaries but does have a problem
with the state making it a mandate.
CONTRACT
Continued from page 1
each of the next two school years was
agreed upon by the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary School District and
Belmont-Redwood Shores Faculty
Association after several mediation
meetings. Such an agreement will
require a vote by teachers and need to be
ratified by the board before becoming
official. Teachers are expected to hear
and vote on the plan later this month. If
approved, the agreement will mean over
$1 million in savings for the district.
“No one really wins in this agreement,
but it’s an agreement we can live with,”
said board President Cathy Wright.
Wright added her appreciation for the
teachers’ willingness to work with the
district to balance the budget.
to force the issue because the state gov-
ernment has been so dysfunctional,”
Wykoff said. “It is a good thing though
for the public to know what public
employees make.”
Other lawmakers, including state
Assemblyman Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood
City, and Rich Gordon, president of the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, support posting salaries
online but said it could be done in a way
that preserves privacy.
Both would support simply posting
the job titles and the associated salaries
for mid-and-low level public employees.
“My salary and my staff’s salaries are
public information,” Ruskin said.
“Government workers are public ser-
vants and their salaries should be pub-
lic.”
Gordon understands why some people
would not want their salaries made pub-
lic for the sake of privacy.
“Once it is the norm and the standard,
it will make sense. I believe in trans-
parency,” said Gordon, who is running
for state Assembly.
Currently, the state controller intends
to publish job titles, pay range and addi-
tional compensation.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, also supports Chiang’s plan.
“Transparency is the watchword of a
true democracy,” Hill said. “Taxpayers
deserve to know how their hard-earned
While plans are to cut four days of
class off from the end of the school year,
students may end up at school those
days, said Ara Prigian, chapter services
consultant for the California Teachers
Association.
Under the agreement, teachers will
take four furlough days during the 2010-
11 and 2011-12 school years. The num-
ber of days could be lessened should
funding levels improve.
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate approved
$26 billion in aid, $10 billion of which
to benefit schools. Prigian pointed to the
decision as a possible impetus for revis-
iting the contract.
Class sizes will increase from 20:1 in
kindergarten through third grades to
25:1, 28.5:1 in sixth through eighth
grade classes and choral music prepara-
tion courses for fourth and fifth grades
could be staffed at 60:1.
In the 2011-12 school year, the ratio of
effort.”
The League of California Cities also
supports Chiang’s proposal and is work-
ing to develop legislation, to be intro-
duced this year, that will trigger report-
ing requirements for not only city and
county government employees, but for
elected officials and highly paid employ-
ees at all state and local agencies as well,
said Jim McKenzie, the league’s execu-
tive director.
The league has also begun compiling a
survey of city management salaries
across the state which will be posted
online on the league’s website when
complete later this year.
Local labor leaders expressed hesitan-
cy about Chiang’s proposal but referred
questions to the California Labor
Federation for comment on the issue.
No one from the Federation would
comment on Chiang’s proposal yester-
day, however.
The California Labor Federation is
made up of more than 1,200 unions, rep-
resenting 2.1 million union members in
manufacturing, retail, construction, hos-
pitality, public sector, health care, enter-
tainment and other industries.

children to class could increase to
30:1unless additional funding is found.
“The teachers’ association has demon-
strated a willingness to make personal
sacrifices to support the students of this
district during these difficult economic
times,” Superintendent Emerita Orta-
Camilleri wrote in a prepared statement.
Kristin Mack, president of the
Belmont-Redwood Shores Faculty
Association, said the teachers under-
stand and support the district’s need to
stay solvent.
Belmont-Redwood Shores is the third
district in San Mateo County to shorten
its school year to save cash. Both the
Millbrae and Redwood City elementary
school districts plan to end the school
year five days sooner this year.

Israel-Lebanon tension flares up

By Mark Lavie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — It took no more
than cutting down a tree to shatter four
years of calm on the Israel-Lebanon
border.
With Israel uneasy about the growing
arsenal of Hezbollah, the real power in
the Lebanese border area, and Lebanon
influenced by the Iranian-backed
group’s clout, the clash that left four
dead showed how a small spark could
ignite another war.
On Wednesday all sides appeared to
be trying to restore calm, but the key
was clearly in the hands of Hezbollah.
Had it entered the fray with a rocket
attack on Israel’s north, Israel would
likely have retaliated, and another
round of Mideast violence would have
been under way — following the pat-
tern of the monthlong conflict in 2006,
when Hezbollah fired almost 4,000
rockets as Israel’s military bombed
strategic targets all over Lebanon and
swept through the border area.
Instead, Hezbollah sufficed with
threats against Israel, and after nightfall
Wednesday, representatives of the
Israeli and Lebanese armies met with
U.N. peacekeepers.
In a statement afterward, peace force
commander Maj. Gen. Alberto Asarta
Cuevas said he called for restraint from
all sides and avoidance of “avoid any
action that could serve to heighten ten-
sions.” He said UNIFIL was still inves-
tigating the clash, but preliminary find-
ings were presented at the meeting. The
statement gave no details.
The monthly meeting was brought
forward to defuse the crisis, UNIFIL

Israel-Lebanon tension.
officials said. The clash started after an
Israeli soldier on a crane dangled over a
fence near the border early Tuesday to
trim a tree that could provide cover for
infiltrators. The Israelis said they clear
such underbrush at least once a week
and coordinate their actions with
UNIFIL, the peacekeeping force that
has been in the area for more than 30
years.
This time the tree trimming was fol-
lowed by gunfire from the Lebanese
army, apparently aimed not at the sol-
dier hanging over the fence, but at a
base some distance away, where a sen-
ior officer was killed by a shot to the
head. Another officer was wounded.
REUTERS
Israel responded with gunfire and
shelling, killing two Lebanese soldiers
and a journalist.
On Wednesday the U.N. ruled that the
tree, while across the fence, was inside
Israeli territory. The U.N. drew the bor-
der line in 2000 after Israel withdrew its
forces from south Lebanon after an 18-
year occupation that followed its inva-
sion in 1982 to fight Palestinian forces
and try to install a pro-Israel govern-
ment in Beirut.
“UNIFIL established ... that the trees
being cut by the Israeli army are locat-
ed south of the Blue Line (border) on
the Israeli side,” said force spokesman
Lt. Naresh Bhatt.
Around the world
Wyclef bro: Haiti presidential bid ‘very serious’
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Wyclef Jean’s planned run for
Haiti’s presidency is bound to make entertainment headlines,
but the hip-hop artist’s brother knows try-
ing to take charge of this earthquake-dev-
astated and politically unstable country is
a deadly serious affair.
Schoolhouse charts of past leaders are
crowded with monthslong presidencies
and group shots of the military juntas that
overthrew them. Heads of state have been
flown into exile, crowned themselves
emperor or been killed more often than
Wyclef Jean they have completed constitutional five-
year terms. One president was torn limb
from limb by an angry mob.
Whoever wins the Nov. 28 election will face the Herculean
task of rebuilding from the Jan. 12 magnitude-7 earthquake
that killed a government-estimated 300,000 people while
managing billions in international reconstruction dollars amid
feuding officials, families and an estimated 1.6 million earth-
quake homeless, all hungry — some more literally than oth-
ers — for their share. Jean is expected to announce his bid for
the presidency on Thursday from Haiti.
Toyota posts $2.2 bln profit as car sales recover
TOKYO — Toyota reported a quarterly profit of $2.2 bil-
lion, reversing from red ink a year earlier as the world’s top
automaker benefited from a global sales recovery that offset
lingering doubts about the safety of its cars.
The company, which makes the Camry sedan and Prius
hybrid, raised its full year earnings forecast Wednesday, and
said it now expects to sell 7.38 million vehicles worldwide for
the year through March 2011, up from 7.24 million the previ-
ous year. Previously it forecast sales of 7.29 million vehicles.
The numbers show that Toyota Motor Corp. is on a recov-
ery track from the sales battering it took from the global
financial crisis two years ago and the blows to its image from
massive recalls that began last October.
U.S.-traded shares jumped $1.70, or 2.3 percent, to $74.47
in afternoon trading Wednesday.
Toyota acknowledged uncertainties lie ahead, including the
surging yen, which erodes the value of overseas earnings, but
is expecting sales to expand in Asia, South America, and other
emerging markets.
