     Job growthslows downBy Christopher S. RugaberTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    WASHINGTON — Americanemployers signaled their cautionabout a sluggish economy byslowing their pace of hiring inApril after months of robust jobgrowth.

    At the same time, companiesraised pay, and their employeesworked more hours — a combina-tion that lifted income and, if sus-tained, could quicken the U.S.expansion.

    As a whole, the government’sreport Friday pointed to anAmerican job market that contin-ues to generate steady hiring,though at a rate that may be start-ing to slow. Employers added

    160,0 00 jobs in April, well belowthe average gain of 243,000 in the

    prior six months. But the unem-ployment rate remained a low 5percent, roughly where it’s beensince last fall.

    “Employment was never goingto continue rising at more than200,000 a month indefinitely,”said Paul Ashworth, an economistat Capital Economics, a consult-ing firm. “Those monthly gainsare simply unsustainable” at atime of tepid economic growth.

    Over the past six months, theeconomy h as expanded at an ann u-al pace of just 1 percent. Anecdotalevidence suggests that someemployers hav e become concerned

    Change may reflect long-expected shiftto more sustainable pace of job creation

    In an effort to celebrate the cultural diver-sity during Asian-Pacific American Heritagemonth, the opening of the South SanFrancisco farmers’ market this weekend willtake on an international flavor.

    Taiko drumming, showcases demonstrat-ing Asian cuisine and vegetables along withbooths promoting cultural awareness areamong th e efforts expected to be offered bythe So uth San Francisco Asian Alliance dur-ing the event Saturday, May 7, at OrangeMemorial Park, al ong Orange Avenue.

    Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto said sh ehoped the even t would be a fun, family-ori-ented way to promote the various cultureswhich comprise South San Francisco’s com-munity.

    “We are trying to develop a positive col-lective identity and establish a sense of community,” said Matsumoto, who is afounder of the all iance.

    Matsumoto said the alliance, which wasfounded about five years ago, makes aneffort each May to align events with themonth that celebrates Asian heritage.

    In the past , fundraisers and programs havebeen held in conjunction with the citylibrary, in an attempt to spread awarenessand education, especially to South SanFrancisco youth, regarding the alliance’sinitiative.

    The focus on educating students andyoung members of the community is espe-

    cially important, noted Matsumoto, as partof an effort to pass along cultural traditionsthrough generations.

    In the past, the alliance has hostedfundraisers featuring food, vendors, arts andcrafts and book sales to generate money fora scholarship offered to South SanFrancisco students of Asian descent.

    But due to the relatively small size of thealliance’s membership, compared to thecompetition in the city’s sizable Asiancommunity for the scholarship, Matsumotosaid the upcoming event at the farmers’ mar-ket was more manageable.

    Matsumoto noted the event will celebratea variety of Asian communiti es in South SanFrancisco, including Japanese, Chinese,Korean, Filipino and Pacific Islander,among others.

    The highlight of the event Saturday willbe the Taiko drumming, performed byShinnyo-en USA Taiko Group of RedwoodCity, said Matsumoto.

    Though the musical elements of the con-cert are enjoyable, Matsumoto said sheappreciated the showmanship componentsas well.

    “There’s a performance that goes with itthat everyone of all ages will enjoy,” shesaid.

    The alliance plans to host another annual

    fundraiser later in the y ear, which will bene-fit the city library, but will not be alignedwith the heritage month.

    May was selected as the month to hostcelebrations of Asian heritage as a com-memoration of when the first Japanese

    immigrants came to the United States,according to a city report.

    The month also marks the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869,which featured a significant contributionfrom Chinese immigrants, said the report.

    Matsumoto said the alliance hopes toramp up its programming through the restof the month, and the year, to continue themission of promoting the value of culturaldiversity in South San Francisco.

    In conjunction with the farmers’ marketwill be the city’s participation in StreetsAlive, Parks Alive, a countywide initiativedesigned to engage and activate communi-ties.

    The event will begin 9 a.m. at OrangeMemorial Park, in the parking lot near theJoseph Fernekes Building.

    Fitness demonstrations, bocce ball andbadminton games, pickleball, bicycle safe-ty lessons, free yoga classes and admissionto th e community pool will be featured.

    The program is designed through the SanMateo County Shared Vision 20205, whichcalls for development of a healthy, activeand environmentally considerate communi-ty in the future.

    San Francisco accusesschool of illegal dorm conversions

    SAN FRANCISCO — A popular arts schoo l th at is one o f San Francisco’s largest property owners has illegallyremoved hundreds of residential units from the city’s tighthousing market by converting buildings to dorms, accord-ing to a lawsuit filed Friday.

    City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in th e legal action t hatthe Academy of Art University acquired buildings that are

    zoned for use as apartments and other residences and con-verted them without permission from San Francisco offi-cials. The conversions were intended to accommodate theschool’s swelling student rolls, which have boosted itsprofits, the lawsuit states, but also cost the city roughly300 residential dwellings.

    “Academy of Art quite simply is an egregious land usescofflaw, and its defiance persist s at the worst po ssib le timefor our residents,” Herrera said at a news conference.

    James Brosnahan, an attorney for the university, said thelawsuit was premature. He said the university has beenworking with planning officials to resolve the city’s con-cerns, and has offered the city two properties for low-income housing and $10 million. It has also agreed toincrease its housing stock in the future through new con-struction.

    “A point that is missed is the students,” Brosnahan said.“You have a lot o f low income art students, painters, sculp-tors, that are affected by this lawsuit to day.”

    spending nearly $6,000 for a radio ad that criticizedCalifornia’s decisio n to i ncrease the minimum wage to $1 5.

    The state’s economic development agency on Fridayreleased a final figure on how much it cost to produce andrun radio ads in San Francisco and Los Angeles. StephenLawson, a spokesman for Enterprise Florida, said the totalwas $5,74 7.

    Florida aired the ads ahead of a th ree-day trade missio n b yGov. Rick Scott to California. The ads contended that a newlaw gradually raising the Golden State’s minimum wagewould result in large job losses.

    Scott’s visit triggered a harsh response from CaliforniaGov. Jerry Brown. Brown sent a letter to Scott where heurged the governor to stop h is “silly political stunts.”

    Presidential candidate and formerSecretary of State Hillary Clinton vis-ited Oakland Friday and spoke of aneed to build support in what shecalled a “make-or-break election.”

    In a gy m at La Escuelita ElementarySchool packed with hundreds of hersupporters, Hillary reiterated hervision for the presidency and con-stantly went on the attack againstpresidential frontrunner DonaldTrump.

    Hillary rarely directly spoke of hercompetitor in the June 7 CaliforniaDemocratic primary, Sen. BernieSanders — preferring to k eep her rhet-oric focused on Trump by implying aneed to unite against him.

    “When I think about what’s at stake.. . even if I weren’t running for presi-dent, I would be doing everything Icould to make sure the presumptivenominee in the Republican Partynever gets near the White House,”Hillary said.

    Hillary spent some of her speechhighlighting the work of some localpoliti cians, such as U.S. Sen. BarbaraBoxer, who accompanied Hillary tothe stage at about 4:15 p. m.

    Boxer, who was hosting a privatefundraiser for Hillary with U.S. Sen.Dianne Feinstein later in the day, saidOakland was full of support for

    Hillary.“You’re going t o have t o search hard

    to see any votes for what’s his name... he’ll wish he was back in TrumpTower,” Boxer said.

    In speaking of Boxer later, Hillarysaid she’d be “be calling her a lot” forher expertise if she were to be elected

    president.Hillary also mentioned OaklandMayor Libby Schaaf, who had made aspeech shortly before Hillary took thestage.

    Schaaf, like Boxer, shied away fromattackin g Sanders in her speech but didsay the country needed “not just aleader that has great and beautifulideas but has the grit . .. and the know-

    how to get th em done.”The only time Hillary brought up

    Sanders, whose supporters gathered insmall numbers outside the venue andchanted the senator’s name to thoseexiting after the event concluded, wasto attack his goal for eliminatinghigher education costs after touting

    her plan.“My esteemed opponent has a planfor what he says will be free (col-lege),” Hillary said. “If you read thefine print ... it’s free for everyone,even billionaires.”

    She also claimed that she was the“only candidate on either side who(promised to) not raise middle classtaxes, period.”

    The old rule “If it's too good to be true, it probably is” applies to dentistry too.When looking for tooth replacement options, do not fall victim to misleadingmarketing tactics. Do your research, ask the right questions, and know whatyou are getting. It’s a lifetime investment and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

    If you are researching dental implants you have seen the ads for $1895 completeor $4000 OFF! Great deal right, NOT SO FAST chances are you are gettingexactly what you paid for, and not what an educated consumer would want!

    Such “special” fees do not correlate with cost of highly trained professionalsand materials for a level of precision and quality that implant supported

    crowns require. Here is the typical range costs to replace a single missing tooth:Implant placement related costs to the dentist:Dental Implant (reputable companies with well researched implants):$400 to $450

    Healing abutment (a temporary extension that sits on the implant): $40 to $50

    Surgical guide (a stent guiding accurate implant placement): $50 to $150

    Drills (series of drills in various diameters necessary to prepare the bone forimplant placement): $50-$100

    Crown related costs to the dentist:Impression post (to take impression of implant): $40 to $50

    Implant analog (An implant duplicate used for models): $25-$35

    Permanent abutment (supports the crown): Customized by lab: $225 to $450;

    Generic : $100 to $150Permanent abutment screw (holds abutment on implant): $50 to $65

    Permanent Crown (made by a high quality lab): $250 to $600

    And for teeth replacement in the upper front area (smile zone) add:Temporary Abutment (Necessary for support of temporary crown): $125-$175

    Temporary Crown (Necessary for implants in the smile zone): $125-$175

    As you can see, these costs to the dentist amount to $1,360 - $1,950 just for thecost of HIGH QUALITY materials. This does not include the impressionmaterials, accessory materials, advertising multiple appointments, personneland administrative costs, and a reasonable return to the dentist.

    So just how does the discount implant center do it? Here is the catch: Theyemploy common "cutting corner" strategies to offer a low fee and still makeprofit on this procedure.

    Bottom line, don't look for the lowest price, but best long-term value!

    WASHINGTON — When i t co mes to babynames, Emma and Noah reign supreme.

    And don’t name your daught er Isis.

    For the second year in a row, Emma andNoah top the annual list of top baby namesin the U.S., according t o the Social SecurityAdminist ration. That’s the th ird year on to pfor Noah and the second in a row for Emma,which was also No. 1 in 200 8.

    The administ ration released its annual listof top baby names Friday, and the top fivenames for girls and boys in 2015 remainedunchanged from the previous year. Noahwas followed by Liam, Mason, Jacob andWilliam. Emma was followed by Olivia,Sophia, Ava and Isabella. Ava and Isabellaswitched spots from 2014, with Ava climb-ing to number 4.

    One major change was the girls’ nameIsis, which had remained steadily in themiddle of the pack of the country’s top1,000 names for the last 15 y ears. In 20 15,after the name had emerged as an acronymfor the extremist group Islamic State, it

    dropped completely off the list.That’s a dramatic shift, says Laura

    Wattenberg, baby name expert and founderof BabynameWizard.com.

    “It’s actually quite rare for a name to beeliminated by issues in the news,” she says,noti ng th at the name Adolph was still at No.555 in the U.S. at the end of World War IIwhen the Nazis and Adolf Hitler fell.

    There’s another recent example, though:the name Hillary dropped off the list in2009, a year after Hillary Clinton lost theDemocratic presidential primary to BarackObama. The name was No. 721 in 2008.Hillary remained off the list t his y ear, as didthe name of her current Democraticprimary opponent, Bernie, as inSanders.

    Barack h as never app earedin the top 1, 000 names, andthe popularity of the nameof Obama’s predecessor,President George W. Bush,dropped slightlyduring his eight-year presidency,from No. 130 toNo. 163.

    WASHINGTON — In the event that theU.S. economy crashed, Donald Trump hasfloated a recovery plan based on his ownexperience with corporate bankruptcy: PayAmerica’s creditors less than full value onthe U.S. Treasurys they h old.

    Experts see it as a reckless idea that wouldsend interest rates soaring, derail economicgrowth and undermine confidence in theworld’s most t rusted financial ass et.

    The presumptive Republican presidentialnominee suggested in a phone interviewThursday with CNBC that he would stimu-late growth through borrowing. If troublearose, he added, he could get investors toaccept reduced payments for their Treasuryholdings.

    Trump later clarified that comment to sayhe would offer to buy th e bon ds back at a dis-count from investors in hopes of refinanc-ing them at lower rates.

    “I would borrow, k nowing t hat if th e econ-omy crashed, you could make a deal,” Trumptold CNBC.

    Such a move, never before attempted bythe U.S. government, would likely spookinvestors whose trust in Treasury notes

    keeps global financial markets operating.The need to refinance would likely cause

    interest rates to spike as investors demand-ed a greater return for the perceived risks o f non-payment. More tax dollars would haveto go toward repaying the debt. Manyinvestors would shift their money else-where. And the economy could endure a trau-matic bl ow.

    “It seems Trump is planning to try to runthe country like one of his failed businessventures, and that does not bode well,” saidMegan Greene, chief economist at

    Manulife.The move would also end a policy intro-duced during the presidency of GeorgeWashin gton — and celebrated in the PulitzerPrize-winning Broadway musical“Hamilton”— to pay full face value on thedebts incurred by the country. The govern-ment’s unfailing payments of its debt havelong pleased investors and supported theeconomy b ecause the co untry can borrow atlower rates than i t ot herwise could.

    “Defaulting on our debt would cause credi-tors to rightly question the ‘full faith’ com-mitment we make,” said Tony Fratto, a for-mer Treasury Department official in GeorgeW. Bush’s adminis tration. “This isn’t a s eri-ous idea — it’s an ins ane idea.”

    LOS ANGELES — Democrati c p resident ialcandidate Bernie Sanders on Friday threat-ened a floor fight over rules and platform

    planks at the party’s summer convention onFriday, warning the Democratic NationalCommittee not to stack the convention’sstanding committees with supporters of Hillary Clinton.

    The prospect of a procedural wrenchthrown into the party’s flagship event islikely to cause headaches for Democraticleaders trying to forge a united front againstDonald Trump, t he lik ely Republican n omi-nee.

    Sanders has amassed some 9 milli on vo tesduring the nation’s primaries and caucuses,and has said even if he fails at getting thefinal nomination, he wants to shape theparty’s agenda on iss ues li ke wealth dispar-ity, financial reform and the role of bigmoney in politics. He says the standingcommittees that consider the party’s plat-

    form and rules should reflect the number of votes he’s received in the 2016 primariesand caucuses.

    “I will n ot allo w them to be silenced at theDemocratic National Convention,” Sanderswrote of his supporters in a letter toDemocratic National CommitteeChairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

    The platform committee considers theparty’s stance on a wide range of policyissues while the rules committee sets theguidelines governing the convention.Sanders’ letter came after the candidatespoke with the chairwoman by phone earli-er this week.

    “If the process is set up to produce anunfair, one-sided result, we are prepared tomobilize our delegates to force as manyvotes as necessary to amend the platform

    and rules on the floor of the convention,”Sanders wrote.

    Luis Miranda, a spokesman for theDemocratic National Committee, said“because the p arty’s platform is a s tatementof our values, the DNC is committed to anopen, inclusive and representative process.Both of our campaigns will be representedon t he drafting committee, and just as we didin 2008 and 2012, the public will haveopportunities to p articipate.”

    Clinton holds a sizable lead of more than300 pledged delegates and has receivedabout 3 million more votes than Sandersduring the primaries. Including superdele-gates — the elected party leaders and offi-cials who can choose the candidate of theirchoice — Clinton is more than 90 percentof the way to clinching the nomination.

    Trump to face trial afterelection in Trump University suit

    SAN DIEGO — Donald Trump will go to trial in a class-action lawsuit against him and his now-defunct TrumpUniversity after the presidential election but before theinauguration, setting the stage for a president-elect to takethe witness stand if he wins th e White House.

    U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel on Friday scheduledtrial for Nov. 28 in the suit that alleges people who paid up

    to $ 35, 000 for real estate seminars got defrauded. The lik e-ly Republican nominee planned to attend most, if not all,of the trial and would testify, Trump attorney DanielPetrocelli said.

    “He has very, very strong feelings about this case,”Petrocelli told reporters.

    Petrocelli asked for a trial after Inauguration Day on Jan.20, but the judge raised concerns abo ut distractions i f Trumpwins the election. The attorney said the period between theelection and swearing-in is extremely hectic for a president-elect but that it was preferable to holding a trial during thecampaign.

    More big-name Republicansabandon Trump; he just shrugs

    WASHINGTON — Big-name GOP leaders piled on Fridayagainst Donald Trump in an extraordinary show of Republican-vs.-Republican discontent over his winning

    the party’s presidential no minatio n. Trump just shrugged itoff, declaring th ey didn’t really matter when compared to allthe voters who turned out to vote for him in this year’s pri-mary elections.

    Trump grudgingly agreed to meet next week with PaulRyan, t he Republican House speaker whose statement a dayearlier — he said he was not ready to embrace Trump’s nom-ination — set off the intraparty fireworks. Trump said hehad “no idea” if they would patch t hing s up and it wasn’t allthat important anyway.

    Fort McMurray, Alberta got a sob eringdrive-by view of their burned out cityFriday in a convoy that moved evac-uees so uth amid a massive wildfire thatofficials fear could double in size bythe end of Saturday.

    As police and military oversaw theprocession of hundreds of vehicles, amass airli ft of evacuees also resumed.A day after 8,000 people were flownout, authorities said 5,500 more wereexpected to be evacuated by the end of Friday and another 4, 000 on Saturday.

    More than 80,000 people have leftFort McMurray in the heart of Canada’oil sands, where the fire has torched1,600 homes and other buildings. Themass evacuation forced as much as a

    quarter of Canada’s oil output offlineaccording to estimates and is expectedto impact a country already hurt by adramatic fall in th e price of oil.

    About 1,200 vehicles had passedthrough Fort McMurray by late Friday

    afternoon despite a one-hour interrup-tion due to heavy smoke, authorities

    said.Jim Dunstan was in the convoy withhis wife, Tracy, and two young son s.

    “It was shocking to see the damagedcars all burned on the s ide of the road.It made you feel lucky to get out of 

    there,” he said.In Edmonton, between 4,500 and

    5,000 evacuees arrived at the airporton at least 45 flights Friday, said air-port spokesman Chris Chodan. Intotal, more than 300 flights havearrived with evacuees since Tuesday, hesaid.

    NEW YORK — Stocks closedmodestly higher on Friday, end-ing t hree days of loss es, after theU.S. government’s disappointin g

     jobs report added to speculatio nthat the Federal Reserve mightkeep interest rates low for anotheryear.

    Investors were also weighingtepid U.S. earnings reports andpersistent weakness in the globaleconomy.

    The Dow Jones industrial aver-age rose 79.92 po ints, o r 0.5 per-cent, to 17,740.63. The Standard& Poor’s 500 index rose 6.51points, or 0.3 percent, to2,057.14 and the Nasdaq compos-ite rose 19.06 points, or 0.4 per-cent, to 4,736.16.

    The three major indexes endedthe week slightly lower, despiteFriday’s gain s.

    Stocks started the day lowerafter the Labor Department saidU.S. employers created just160,000 jobs last month, signifi-cantly below the 200,000 that

    economists were expecting.While one month does not make

    a trend, there have been a fewreports this week from around theworld that suggested weakness inthe global economy. A closelywatched Chinese manufacturing

    survey showed production con-tracted last month, and EuropeanUnion officials trimmed theirforecasts for growth across the 19countries that use the euro.

    “Once again, we received evi-dence that the U.S. economy is

     just bumbl ing alon g and will mostlikely remain so until after theU.S. presidential election,” saidTom di Galoma, a managing direc-tor of fixed income at Seaport

    Global.As the day progressed, stocksturned higher in the early after-noon and stayed there the rest of the day. In a way, the bad news of 

    the jobs report is good news forstock market investors, who havebenefited from more than sevenyears of extremely low interestrates. Low interest rates makestocks look cheaper when com-pared to bo nds.

    Di Galoma and others said thatthe April jobs report significantlyreduces the possibility that theFederal Reserve will i nterest ratesin June or even later this year.

    “In my view, a rate hike poten-tial this year is nearing zero prob-ability,” he said.

    That view appears to be widelyheld. Fed fund futures, which aresecurities that allow traders to beton which way the Fed will moveinterest rates, show that a majori-ty of investors do not expect theFed to raise rates until February2017.

    “The weakening of jobs growth,should it persist as we think itwill, will make th e Fed’s job morechallengin g this y ear, and any ratehikes will occur at a much slowerpace than originally anticipated atthe start of the year, and may nothappen at all,” said Rick Rieder,BlackRock’s chief investmentofficer of fixed inco me.

    Immediately after the release of the jobs report, bond prices

     jumped and in terest rates movedsharply lower, b ut as the day woreon, the market reversed course.

    U.S. government bond pricesended lower, and the yield on thebenchmark U.S. 10-year Treasurynote rose to 1.78 percent from1.74 percent the day before.

    NEW YORK — U.S. airlineshave been pressing the govern-ment to act to reduce the intolera-

    bly long security lines at thenation’s airports. Now, they’reeven asking passengers for helpby sharing their frustration onsocial media.

    Lines during p eak hours at so meairports have topped 90 minutes.The airlines already are warningcustomers to arrive at the airporttwo ho urs i n advance, and are fear-ful the situation will only getworse with a record number of trav-elers expected this summer.

    Earlier this week, theTransportation SecurityAdministration said it wouldincrease staffing at security check-

    points and boost the number of bomb-sniffing dogs to help thelines move more quickly. Theagency also is asking Congressfor more money to hire additionalscreeners and pay existing onesovertime.

    Both sides have encouragedtravelers to enroll in the TSA’sexpedited screening programcalled PreCheck. But the airlinesalso want travelers to do some-thing that comes more naturally:complain.

    Airlines for America, the i ndus-try’s trade group, just launched awebsite called iHateTheWait.com ,encouraging fliers to post photosof the lines on Twitter andInstagram along with the hashtag#iHateTheWait. Presumably thiswill make Cong ress more aware of the prob lem — and let fellow trav-elers know what they’re in for

    when they g et to th e airport.The group’s spokeswoman Jean

    Medina, said the campaign is“raising awareness of the is sue andserving as crowd-sourced (waittime) information.”

    While the number of travelers is

    on the rise, there are fewer agentsto screen them. The number of front-line screeners was cut by 10percent in the past three years,based on the assumption that trav-elers would enroll in PreCheck.They did not.

    The airline trade group, whichrepresents Alaska Airlines,American Airlines, JetBlueAirways, Hawaiian Airlines,Southwest Airlines and UnitedAirlines, said on the i HateTheWaitwebsite that engaging in thesocial media campaign will “helpcut wait times for everyone whoflies.”

     Judge: Womencan sue Uber overalleged driver sex assaults

    SAN FRANCISCO — Twowomen who allege that Uberdrivers sexually assaulted them,one in Boston and the other inSouth Carolina, can sue the ride-hailing company, a federal judgesaid.

    The women showed the possi-

    bility that the drivers were Uberemployees who acted within thescope of their employment, U.S.District Judge Susan Illston i n SanFrancis co ruled Wednesday.

    Uber had argued that the driverswere independent contractors andat least one of them may not haveused the company cellphone app,where customers book rides,before the alleged assault.

    “It may be that facts will ulti-mately be revealed that disproveplaintiffs’ allegations or that tiltthe scales toward a finding thatUber drivers are independent con-tractors,” Illston said.

    The Burling ame baseball team was not inthe running for the Peninsula AthleticLeague’s Bay Division title going into thelast week of the regular season.

    But the Panthers did have a say in whowould be the champion. Not that was whatthe Panth ers were focused on.

    “Absolutely not,” said Burlingame man-

    ager Shawn Scott. “We just needed to takecare of business to get into the (CCS) tour-ney.”

    Terra Nova, on the other hand, needed towin just one of two games this week againstBurlingame to clinch an outright BayDivision crown.

    The Tigers failed on both days.Wednesday, they suffered a 2-1 defeat toBurling ame. Friday, Terra Nova could mountlittle offense against Panthers starter Alex

    Waldsmith, who was masterful in a 4-1Burling ame victory.

    Despite the loss, Terra Nova (9-5 PALBay) still managed to grab a piece of theBay Division title because Carlmont (9-5),which beat Sequoia Wednesday to move agame ahead of Terra Nova, was b eaten by theCherokees 7 -0 Friday.

    While Terra Nova and Carlmont will godown in th e record books as co-champs, theTigers own the tiebreaker over the Scots by

    sweeping them last week. Terra Nova willbe the top seed coming out of the BayDivision.

    Echoing his manager, Waldsmith saidFriday’s game was a chance for Burlingameto improve its play — and not worry aboutthe impact it would have on th e Tigers.

    “We just wanted to play our game,”Waldsmith said. “We really focused on whatwe could do.”

Harlee is CSM’s all-time home run queen, while her youngersisters — Abbey and Riley, not pictured — are the playoff-bound Half Moon Bay High Schoolvarsity squad’s two most prolific power threats.

    Bouncing back and forth between the dia-monds at College of San Mateo and Half Moon Bay High School, Sean Donovandoesn’t miss a beat when it comes to hisfamily of softball prodigies.

    A former three-sport standout at Half Moon Bay, the father of six is obviouslydoing something right. Not only are histhree oldest daughters excelling on the soft-ball diamond. They are all playing for pow-

    erhouse teams, and are all on the verge of playing in the postseason.

    His oldest, Harlee Donovan, is a sopho-more catcher at CSM, where she has blos-somed as the greatest power hitter in pro-gram history. The Lady Bulldogs beginregional play in the California CommunityCollege softball playoffs Saturday at 2p.m., hosting Napa Valley College in abest-of-three series.

    And Harlee is a bi g reason the Bulldogs arereturning to the postseason dance afteradvancing to the state title game last sea-son. CSM’s all-time home run leader with36, Harlee won the 2015 state home runcrown with 20. This season she ranks sec-ond in the state with 16.

    “We saw her play all through highschool ,” CSM head coach Nicole Borg said.

    “Half Moon Bay is in our backyard. TheDonovan clan has two more kids coming up… on what could potentially be labeled asthe best team in their league.”

    The kids Borg speaks of are Abbey andRiley Donovan, a senior and sophomore,respectively, at Half Moon Bay HighSchool. With the Cougars currently in sec-ond place in the Peninsula Athletic LeagueBay Division, they have clinched a berth inthe Central Coast Section playoffs.

    And they are following in Harlee’s foot-steps in the power department. Riley — alsoa catcher — currently leads the Bay Divis ionwith four home runs while batting .435 anda team-best 2 9 RBIs. Abbey — the o utlier of

    Nyquist heads into the Run for the Roseson Saturday at Churchill Downs as th e early

    Still, Nyquist isn’t the buzziest of horses.Heck, even his owner J. Paul Reddam saidthat as a fan he’d bet against his horse.

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tim Lincecumstrode to the mound inside a nearly emptyScottsdale Stadium, the only sounds com-ing from th e birds and the cars on t he streets

    outside.The two-time Cy Young Award winner

    picked up a ball, started his motion and letit fly as radar guns rose behind the plate. Aseries of camera clicks fol lowed, t hen a po pof the glove.

    The radar guns went down, pencils furi-ously scribbled and Lincecum started allover again.

    “It’s different, a lot like high school, try-ing t o sh ow your stuff off again,” Lincecumsaid.

    A free agent o n t he mend from hip surgery,Lincecum threw 41 pitches Friday for abo utthree dozen scouts representing nearlyevery major league club at the spring train-ing home of the only team he’s ever playedfor, the San Francisco Giants.

    The 31-year-old right-hander mixed up h ispitches and hit most of his spots during h isshowcase, consistently reaching 88 mph to91 mph on the scouts’ radar guns. He feltgood after and now hopes to catch on with abig league team soon, preferably as astarter.

    “I’m happy,” Lincecum said. “I was ableto throw strikes with my pitches, stay with-in myself, commanded all of my pitches. Ionly had a couple of misses and theyweren’t out over th e plate, so t hat’s encour-aging for me.”

    One of baseball’s best pitchers in hisprime, Lincecum won the NL Cy YoungAward in 2008 and 2009 and made four All-Star Game appearances. He helped theGiants win three World Series titles in fiveyears and had a pair of no-hitters againstSan Diego in an 11-mont h span between the2013 and 2014 seasons.

    Lincecum earned his nickname “TheFreak” by defying the stereotype of what abig-league pitcher is supposed to be, gener-ating mass ive amounts of torque with h is 5-

    foot-11, 170-pound frame.Needing a long stride to generate the

    leverage, Lincecum started having troublewith his hips due to the pounding, seeinghis velocity dip and his ERA rise as he wasforced to throw mostly with his arm.

    The right-hander went 7-4 with a 4.13

    ERA in 15 starts last season and did notpitch after June 27 due to degenerativeissues with his hi ps.

    Lincecum had surgery on Sept. 3 and didnot sign with a team after finishing up a$35 million, two-year contract last season.

    He worked through the o ffseason to reha-bilitate his hip and has spent the past fewweeks pit ching o n back fields at the Giants ’spring training complex.

    Lincecum arrived at Scottsdale Stadiumabout an hour before his session, slippinginto the clubhouse as about a dozen fansgathered in the parking lot.

    SAN FRANCISCO — MadisonBumgarner quickly forgot about a roughinning and returned to throwing qualitystrikes. It also helped that BrandonCrawford tossed some momentum hisway.

    Crawford hit a three-run homer,Bumgarner survived a shaky secondinning and the San Francisco Giantsended a three-game losing streak toColorado, beating the Rockies 6-4 onFriday night.

    “Crawford was huge for us,”Bumgarner said. “It was a rough secondinning all the way around and thatchanged the ballgame.”

    Hunter Pence, who had three hits, MattDuffy and Brandon Belt also drove inruns for the Giants, who ended a two-game slide.

    “You always want to answer back andCrawford’s three-run homer put us rightback in the game,” Duffy said. “It feltlike we had the momentum again. Iterased the second inning and we finishedthe comeback.”

    Bumgarner (4-2) won hi s thi rd straightstart, retiring 1 5 of 17 after giving up all

    four runs in the sec-ond. He allowedseven hits, walkedone and struck out 10in 7 1/3 innings.

    “It’s not exactlywhat I wanted but youhave to throw thataside and just com-pete,” Bumgarnersaid. “We had to wintoday after last

    nigh t’s embarrassing game. That was nofun.”

    Mark Reynolds collected three hits and

    an RBI for the Rockies, who had wonfive of their previous seven and poundedthe Giants 17-7 on Thursday. DustinGarneau also drove in a run.

    “You’re only going to get an opportu-nity or two against Bumgarner and youhave to maximize those oppo rtunities,”Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. “Oncehe settles in, y ou know he’s going to betough. It was hard to create against himlater in the game.”

    Chad Bettis (3-2) lasted six innings,giving up five runs on eight hits. Hewalked two and struck out four. He alsodrove in a run with a squeeze bunt.

    Nolan Arenado doubled leading off the

    second. Reyno lds and Ryan Raburn eachsingled and Gerardo Parra was safe on JoePanik’s throwing error, which allowed arun to score and drew parallels to the wayThursday night’s 13-run inning began.

    Bumgarner gave up a sacrifice fly andBettis’ bunt, then never allowed a runnerpast first base the rest of his stint.

    Cory Gearrin got the final two outs of the eighth, stranding a pair of runners,and Santiago Casilla worked the ninthfor his seventh save in nine chances.

    Willie’s day

    Hall o f Famer Willi e Mays was in townto celebrate his 85th birthday. TheGiants showed video greetings to Maysfrom President Barack Obama, LosAngeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scullyand Michigan football coach JimHarbaugh, among others.

    “I’m sure he has a lot of things hecould be doing, but he chooses to comehere and share stories,” Duffy said. “Inmy opinio n he’s the best baseball play-er ever and it’s something special.”

    Added manager Bruce Bochy: “It’s anhonor and a privilege to have one of thegreatest, if not th e greatest, hanging outwith you. You know he loves and has apassion for the game.”

    OAKLAND — Golden State superstarStephen Curry zipped around the court bounc-ing from spot to spot during his typicalextensive post-practice shooting routine,

    driving to the basket past his regular practicecoach Bruce Fraser.Curry looked much like

    his h ealthy self except fora brace covering hisinjured right k nee.

    He returned to practiceFriday to test his sprainedknee and was strong in hislateral movement thoughthe team didn’t scrimmageat all. And the Warriorsstill considered him doubt-

    ful to play in Saturday’s Game 3 of the WesternConference semifinals at Portland.

    Coach Steve Kerr reiterated Friday thatCurry was unlikely to play despite goingthrough p art of practice. Kerr was surprised tosee reports of Curry being ruled out based on a

    radio interview he had given earlier in the dayon the “Dan Patrick Show.” Kerr said heshould have been clearer that he meant “prob-ably” out.

    “Today was by far the best h e looked,” Kerrsaid. “He’s made progress each day. He tookpart on the court in a practice today. We didn’tscrimmage but we did a lot of defensive work,five-on-oh, full-court shooting stuff. He tookpart in all of it and he looked much, much bet-ter than he did even two days ago. It’s a greatsign, but we still want to see him in a three-on-three, a five-on-five. I don’t think thatwill happen by tomorrow at 5:30 Portlandtime. ... I don’t see him playing tomorrow.”

    Curry and the Warriors practiced in the BayArea before an afternoon flight to Oregon.Kerr had said a day earlier that the reigning

    MVP was unlikely to play because he hadn’tyet practiced or done any scrimmaging to testthe knee — so s crimmaging is the next, per-haps final s tep before Curry’s return.

    Kerr said Curry would be part of any conver-sations when it’s time for a decision to bemade for him to get back in a game.

    “Whatever we end up doing with him will bethrough his consultation, with his agreement,and we’ll figure it out together,” Kerr said.

    The defending champion Warriors lead thebest-of-seven series against Portland 2-0.Curry also is considered doubtful for Mondaynigh t’s Game 4.

    “It kind of takes some pressure off Stephand his rehab in a way where he’s not like,‘Shoot, we’re down 2-0, or it’s 1-1, I need tocome back and play,”’ center Andrew Bogut

    said. “It buys us a little bit more time if any-thing.”Curry returned from an ankle i njury only to

    injure his knee April 24 when he slipped on a

    wet spot j ust before halftime of a Game 4 winat Houston in the first round of the playoffs.He sustained a Grade 1 sprain to the MCL inhis knee.

    “For Steph, he has to think about his future.He has to think about his rhythm. When I sayfuture, I’m talking about beyond this year,”

    Kerr said. “How long will it take him to feel100 percent? While he’s going through that,what’s his body going to feel like? And wehave to think about what’s he goin g to looklike, what’s he going to do to our rotation?Ironically enough, you don’t think about thatusually with the MVP. But it’s the playoffs,it’s the highest level of basketball on earth.Throw a guy out there at 75 percent, i t changeseverything. So there’s all kin ds of factors hereand dynamics. The great thing with Steph,he’s smart, he’s easy to talk to and reasonwith.”

    While the Warriors miss his league-leading30.1 points per game, remarkable range andplaymaking ability, they have dominatedwithout their superstar point guard despiteneeding a fourth-quarter rally in Tuesday’sGame 2 at Oracle Arena.

    Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts was stillskeptical.“We’ll see if he doesn’t play tomorrow,”

    Stotts said laughing. “We’ll see.”

    Curry practices, still doubtful for Game 3“Today was by far the best he looked. He’s made progresseach day. He took part on the court in a practice today. …

    He took part in all of it and he looked much, much better than hedid even two days ago. … we still want to see him in a three-on-

    three, a five-on-five. I don’t think that will happen by tomorrow at 5:30 Portland time. ... I don’t see him playing tomorrow.”
