SAN DIEGO BLAZE SITUATION TENUOUS
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Carlos City Council
may have indicated a preference at
last Monday nights meeting for
selling rather than swapping land
for a charter school but it isnt
necessarily sold on the idea.
The council will meet in a spe-
cial closed session Monday after-
noon at which City Manager Jeff
Maltbie is expected to present a
revised or different proposal for an
arrangement with the San Carlos
Elementary School District to
house its Charter Learning Center.
I have no idea what the details
are but it may circle around some
ways the district can give cash for
Crestview and not accept Tierra
Linda, said Mayor Mark Olbert,
referencing the two pieces of city
and district-owned property at
play.
Maltbie couldnt be reached for
comment on the planned discus-
sion but Olbert said he cant imag-
ine favoring an option with a
large price tag for the district or
the city giving up its land.
Councilman Ron Collins said
his goal Monday is reaching an
answer that aids more than the
charter school students.
Im looking for a solution that
benets everybody and the swap
as proposed would have only ben-
eted the charter school directly
because we would have had no
ability to develop the eld. What I
would like to happen is a solution
that will result in a eld being
built so that all the children and
everybody in the community will
benet, Collins said.
Collins declined to share details

SACRAMENTO The state
Legislature on Thursday over-
whelmingly passed a fresh version
of a rainy-day fund measure for the
November ballot, a bipartisan
plan that seeks to smooth out the
boom-and-bust cycles of state
budgeting while creating a clear
path for paying down Californias
massive debts and unfunded liabil-
ities.
Lawmakers voted 75-0 in the
Assembly and 36-0 in the Senate
to replace a rainy-day fund measure
already scheduled to go before vot-
ers this fall. The proposed consti-
tutional amendment required a two-
thirds vote in both houses and eas-
ily surpassed that threshold.
It does not require action by
Gov. Jerry Brown, who negotiated
the deal with legislative leaders of
both parties.
Democratic and Republican law-
makers praised the compromise
during debate in both houses.
This is a genuine bipartisan
proposal that will build on the
progress we made in terms of sta-

Students and teachers scoop up sugar as part of team foot race following a lesson on the importance of drinking
water over sugary drinks.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite high temperatures
Thursday, more than 1,000
Redwood City fourth-graders from
14 schools learned about healthy
eating, staying active and being
tobacco free at the 14th annual
Make Time for Fitness eld trip
outdoors at Red Morton Park.
The days activities tie into
classroom work since students
complete a workbook called Eat
Healthy, Stay Active, Be Tobacco
Free with their teachers starting
in early April.
Activity stations on two large
elds included: drink water rst,
about learning the importance of
drinking water over sugary bever-
ages; friendship fitness, with
games focused on teamwork and
cooperation while playing sharks
and minnows with hula hoops; t
fun yoga, with an introduction to
yoga; farmers market, for learn-
ing what fruit and vegetables are
available; and tobacco-free me, for
learning about how there are more
than 4,000 chemicals in ciga-
rettes.
Nine-year-olds are at a time
when theyre able to start making
decisions for themselves, said
Marie Violet, director of health
and wellness at Sequoia Hospital,
who also created the annual event.
They do go home and tell things
to their parents. Kids come home
and read the labels and ask their
parents, do you know how much
sugar is in this?
The event, a partnership
between Dignity Health Sequoia
Hospital, the Redwood City
School District Wellness
Committee and several other com-
munity organizations, included
more than 100 volunteers. A key
change this year was including

With growing enrollment and a
desire to reduce traveling time to
middle schools across town, the
Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees has
moved to make Taft Elementary
School a K-8 school.
The school, which is currently
K-5, will add one grade per year
starting this coming school year
to ll out a middle school by the
2016-17 school year.
Im so happy to bring this pro-
posal to you tonight,
Superintendent Jan Christensen
said Wednesday night before the
item was unanimously approved.
Parents have requested that for
several years.

Roommates buy lumpy
used couch, find $40K in cash
NEW PALTZ, N.Y. Three room-
mates who bought a lumpy old sofa at
a thrift store found $40,000 in cash
stashed inside and returned the money
to the 91-year-old upstate New York
widow who had hidden it there.
Social worker Cally Guasti tells the
Associated Press Thursday that she and
her two roommates found the money
stuffed in envelopes hidden in the
couch they bought from the Salvation
Army in early March.
State University of New York at New
Paltz student Reese Werkhoven is one
of Guastis roommates. The New York
City man told other media outlets they
started searching after he found the
rst batch of cash.
The roommates found a womans
name on a deposit slip. After dis-
cussing options, the roommates con-
tacted her and delivered the money the
next day.
U.K. tower accused of
melting car to get sunshade
LONDON A London skyscraper
that drew ire for having a glare so
strong it melted nearby cars and shops
will get a permanent x.
The offending tower known as the
Walkie-Talkie for its curved, bulging
shape is to have a sunshade attached
to its south-facing facade to stop the
concave surface from reecting sun-
light and beaming concentrated rays
to a nearby street, developers said
Thursday.
The 37-story building made head-
lines in September when a Jaguar
owner who parked his car at its foot
complained that the solar glare melted
part of the vehicle. Local shopkeepers
also said the beams dubbed death
rays by the British press blistered
paintwork and burnt a hole in a oor
mat during the hottest parts of the day.
Developers Land Securities and
Canary Wharf had put up a dark netted
screen as a temporary measure. They
now say they have received permis-
sion to erect a permanent sunshade of
horizontal aluminum ns, which they
say will solve the problem by absorb-
ing and diffusing sunlight.
The sunshade will cover much of the
Walkie-Talkies southern face, and
will inevitably block the Thames
views for the towers occupants to a
limited extent, the developers said.
But they added that the extra texture,
detail and reduction in reectivity will
make the building a better neighbor.
It wasnt the rst time that the sky-
scraper, designed by architect Rafael
Vinoly and officially known as 20
Fenchurch Street, attracted controver-
sy. Even before it was built, UNESCO,
the United Nations heritage body,
complained that tall buildings like it
would negatively impact the historic
Tower of London nearby.
Post office seeks
to delivery 1945 letter
MUSKEGON, Mich. In 1945, a
letter was addressed to a western
Michigan couple and mailed from a
sergeant at an Army base in New York
State.
It apparently never reached Mr. and
Mrs. Sensabaugh on Washington
Avenue in Muskegon and nearly 70
years later postal ofcials are hop-
ing to nd relatives to deliver the let-
ter to, The Muskegon Chronicle
reported Wednesday.
A vintage sealing material on the
back gives the appearance that the let-
ter never has been opened, postal of-
cials told the newspaper.
Were not going to disturb it until
we can see if we can nd the family
rst, said Veronica Mauseth, a secre-
tary to Muskegon Postmaster William
Rowe.
Sgt. Myron C. Cooks name was
listed as the sender. Somehow the let-
ter made its way Minnesota, where it
was placed back in the mail, Rowe
said.
A2013 postmark from Minneapolis
was stamped over the original 1945
postmark. We think somebody put it
back into the mail stream, he said.
Amail carrier, who also served in the
Persian Gulf War, later saw the letter
and its old postmark and saved it from
the ordinary dead mail pile, Rowe
added.

An elderly man accused of shooting at his
former doctor inside Seton Medical Center
because he felt the physician failed to cure
his pain was granted $500,000 bail on
Thursday for the rst time since his arrest
last month for premeditated and deliberate
attempted murder.
At his arraignment, Raymond Iwase, 84,
also pleaded not guilty to that charge and
counts of assault with a deadly weapon and
discharging a rearm. He returns to court
July 10 for a preliminary hearing on the
charges which can carry up to a life sen-
tence.
Daly City police arrested Iwase April 23
about eight hours after he
reportedly entered the
medical ofce building at
1500 Southgate Ave.
around 1:30 p.m. and
watched occupants on the
second oor until the tar-
geted doctor walked into
the hallway. Iwase
allegedly approached the
man and said, You gave
me a shot in the past and you made me sick
before pulling a handgun. The doctor ran
and ducked around a corner while the single
bullet shot hit the wall about mid-back
height.
The incident caused evacuations while the
SWAT team searched for the shooter. Iwase
apparently had walked from the medical cen-
ter to his Plymouth Circle home where
police later arrested him and recovered a dif-
ferent gun and ammunition.
The doctor did not immediately recall
Iwase as a patient but later reviewed his
records and noted that he had treated him for
pain years earlier. Authorities have not
specied the source of that pain.
Police said witnesses at the scene identi-
ed Iwase as the suspected gunman.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two different public employees in two
different Peninsula cities stole thousands
of dollars worth of gas by fueling up per-
sonal vehicles at city pumps, according to
prosecutors.
But while the cases of Leopoldo
Gaudenico Egcasenza, 62, and Juan
Gonzales Alvarez, 52, have similarities,
their cases took different turns.
Egcasenza, a 30-year Public Works
employee in Burlingame, pleaded no con-
test to one felony count of theft of gov-
ernment property in return for no more
than four months jail. He received 45 days
jail, three years of supervised probation
and an order to repay the city of
Burlingame $5,107.93.
He surrenders June 28
and remains free on a
$15,000 bail bond.
Alvarez, of Menlo
Park, declined to settle
his case and returns to
court June 5 for a prelim-
inary hearing estimated
to last an hour.
Egcasenza, 62, took
1,409 gallons of gas
worth $5,107.93 between July 2010 and
Oct. 26, 2013, according to prosecutors.
The improper fueling was discovered dur-
ing a routine audit when a supervisor
reportedly noticed Egcasenza gassing up
during his off-duty hours and, after being
confronted, admitted
using the pump for his
personal use once a week
for three years.
Alvarez allegedly used
Menlo Park city pumps
23 times over a four-
month stretch in 2012,
taking 503 gallons val-
ued at $1,786.35.
During a search of his
home, Menlo Park police reported finding
a stolen Menlo Park police officer badge
that had been attached to a jacket reported
stolen.
Alvarez is free from custody on his own
recognizance.

Obituary
Seminary embezzler takes plea deal
The secretary of a former Menlo Park seminary nance
director accused of taking more than $200,000 and stealing
a donated vehicle accepted a plea deal
herself for reportedly accepting several
unauthorized payments despite never
leaving her job.
Evelyn D. Vallacqua, 45, pleaded no
contest to felony embezzlement in return
for 90 days jail on the condition she tes-
tify truthfully in the Aug. 11 jury trial of
codefendant Jennifer Margaret Morris.
Morris, 58, was Vallacquas boss at St.
Patricks Seminary and University and is
charged with four counts of felony
embezzlement.
The women were arrested after a seminary audit sparked by
learning that Morris used her personal credit card for reim-
bursed work purchases to accumulate airline miles. The audit
reportedly uncovered that, between October 2006 and 2012,
Morris made $166,000 worth of unauthorized personal pur-
chases for which she also reimbursed herself from seminary
funds and overpaid herself at least $36,000 from 2011 to
2012.
Prosecutors also claim Morris stole a donated 1982
Mercedes Benz by registering the vehicle in her name and
charging the registration and maintenance costs back to the
seminary.
Vallacqua was accused of helping Morris with the reim-
bursement and also received severance payments although
she never left the seminarys employment.
Morris is free from custody on a $200,000 bail bond
while Vallacqua is free on $10,000 pending sentencing. She
returns to court Sept. 19 to set that hearing date.
Residents asked to
refrain from landscape watering
Residents of Foster City and those in the Mariners Island
area of San Mateo are asked to refrain from watering their
landscape while the Estero Municipal Improvement District
temporarily shuts down its water transmission main
Monday, June 2 through Monday, June 9.
The shutdown is required to facilitate the relocation of the
existing water main that supplies the residents in the area.
During the shutdown, the district will utilize backup water
supply sources, which include its water storage tanks, a
smaller water main and emergency water main connections
with Belmont and San Mateo. The change in water supply
may stir up sediment in the pipes and although the water is
safe to drink, it may appear cloudy or discolored during the
shutdown. Generally, running the tap for a few moments
should clear up the cloudiness.
If the problem persists call the districts yard ofce at
(650) 286-8140. For more information contact Associate
Civil Engineer Laura Galli at (650) 286-3280.

A Daly City man with a series of
domestic violence cases against his
common-law wife of 30 years pleaded
not guilty Thursday to fatally beating
the woman to death.
Daniel Bryan Thomas, 65, is
charged with murder in the death of
Ruby Grim, 65, who was found on the
bedroom floor of the couples
Florence Street home just before 8
a.m. with severe injuries all over her
90-pound body. Thomas denies any
responsibility, according to prosecu-
tors, and he told neighbors the morn-
ing of April 30 that he found her unre-
sponsi ve. The neighbors went to
investigate and
called police after
discovering Grims
body.
Thomas has prior
domestic violence
cases involving
Grim including one
for which he
received three
years probation
after pleading no contest and another
in August 2013 that was scheduled for
trial in June. In 2012, Grim filed for a
domestic violence restraining order
and Thomas reportedly violated it
repeatedly by remaining at the Daly
City home. Grim refused to cooperate
with prosecutors in earlier incidents
which led to the dismissal of previ-
ous cases, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Grim worked for a San Francisco
nonprofit and the couple had been
together for roughly three decades.
The official cause of death has yet
to be released but Wagstaffe said she
had major trauma to her head and
entire body likely leading to a horri-
ble death.
After entering his plea yesterday,
Thomas was also appointed an attor-
ney from the private defender pro-

SHORE WAY TO BEAT THE HEAT
The Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration has given the go-
ahead for insurers and employers
to use a new cost-control strategy
that puts a hard dollar limit on
what health plans pay for some
expensive procedures, such as
knee and hip replacements.
Some experts worry that such a
move would surprise patients who
pick more expensive hospitals.
The cost difference would leave
them with big medical bills that
theyd have to pay themselves.
That could undercut key nancial
protections in President Barack
Obamas health care law that apply
not just to the new health insur-
ance exchanges, but to most job-
based coverage as well.
Others say its a valuable tool to
reduce costs and help check premi-
ums.
Some federal regulators appear
to be concerned. Arecent adminis-
tration policy ruling went to
unusual lengths, acknowledging
that the cost-control strategy
may be a subterfuge for other-
wise prohibited limitations on
coverage.
Nonetheless, the departments of
Labor and Health and Human
Services said the practice
known as reference pricing
could continue. Plans must use a
reasonable method to ensure
adequate access to quality
providers. Regulators asked for
public comment, saying they may
publish additional guidance in the
future.
HHS spokeswoman Erin Shields
Britt said in a statement that the
administration is monitoring the
effects of reference pricing on
access to quality services and will
work to ensure that nancial pro-
tections for consumers are not
undermined.
One way the new approach is dif-
ferent is that it sets a dollar limit
on what the health plan will pay
for a given procedure. Most insur-
ance now pays a percentage of
costs, and those costs themselves
can vary from hospital to hospi-
tal. Now if you pick a more expen-
sive hospital, the insurance still
pays the same percentage.
The new strategy works like
this:
Your health insurance plan slaps
a hard limit on what it will pay for
certain procedures, for example,
hospital charges associated with
knee and hip replacement opera-
tions. Thats called the reference
price.
Say the limit is $30,000. The
plan offers you a choice of hospi-
tals within its provider network. If
you pick one that charges
$40,000, you would owe $10,000
to the hospital plus your regular
cost-sharing for the $30,000 that
your plan covers.
The extra $10,000 is treated like
an out-of-network expense, and it
doesnt count toward your plans
annual limit on out-of-pocket
costs.
Thats crucial because under the
health care law, most plans have
to pick up the entire cost of care
after a patient hits the annual out-
of-pocket limit, currently $6,350
for single coverage and $12,700
for a family plan.

Bill limits full contact
youth football drills
SACRAMENTO Responding to parental
safety concerns, the state Assembly on
Thursday passed legislation limiting full-
contact practices for high school football
teams.
The bill by Assemblyman Ken Cooley,
AB2127, passed on a 50-22 vote and now
heads to the Senate. It has the support of the
California Interscholastic Federation, which
oversees high school athletics.
Cooley, D-Rancho Cordova, said he was
motivated by the growing anxiety from par-
ents about the risks associated with concus-
sions. The American Academy of Pediatrics,
writing in support of the bill, said head
injuries from football may lead to long-term
brain damage and early-onset dementia.
There are just a lot of parents today who are
worried about what happens if my kids get in
these sort of sports, Cooley said in an inter-
view after the bill passed.
The issue has even caught the attention of
the White House, which announced on
Thursday plans for a May 29 summit about
youth sports safety and concussions.
The California bill limits drills involving
game-speed tackling to 90-minute sessions
twice a week, while prohibiting such full-con-
tact drills in the offseason. It also applies to
private and charter schools.
Senate OKs bill to
diversify Covered California
SACRAMENTO The state Senate has
approved a bill to diversify the board over-
seeing Covered California, the states health
insurance exchange.
SB972 by Democratic Sen. Norma Torres of
Pomona passed 33-0 Thursday and moves to
the Assembly.
The bill initially sought to expand the ve-
member board by two seats but was met with
resistance by other senators. The amended
version adds several categories to the quali-
cations for appointment. They include health
product marketing, information technology,
information systems management and enroll-
ment assistance.
Torres says the exchange could have avoid-
ed some consumer complaints about under-
enrollment of Latinos and blacks had board
members ensured it did a better job reaching
out to those populations.
Covered California also was criticized for
problems with its website and long wait times
for consumers calling its service centers.
Bill increases fines
for texting while driving
SACRAMENTO California drivers would
face tougher consequences for chatting and
texting on their cellphones while driving
under a bill that passed the California
Assembly.
Lawmakers voted 66-10 Thursday to
approve AB1646 by Democratic
Assemblyman Jim Frazier of Oakley.
The bill more than doubles the base fees for
a rst violation, from $20 to $50, and boosts
the ne to $100 for subsequent violations.
With additional penalties, the actual nes can
be more than triple those amounts.
Under Fraziers bill, a second ticket would
also come with a one-point penalty on the
drivers license, which could lead to suspen-
sions.
The bill also requires the Department of
Motor Vehicles to test would-be drivers for
their knowledge of the dangers of distracted
driving on drivers license exams.
The bill heads to the Senate.
Bill restrains schools
tracking social media posts
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has
unanimously passed a bill restricting how
school districts monitor and track students on
social media.
Democratic Assemblyman Mike Gatto of
Los Angeles says limits should be set as more
districts monitor cyberbullying. In his dis-
trict, Glendale Unied School District hired a
rm last fall to monitor Facebook and Twitter
posts after two students committed suicide.
Gattos bill, AB1442, mandates school dis-
tricts to hold public hearings before starting
such programs. It requires schools to only
collect publicly visible social media posts
and requires them to delete data after students
graduate or leave the district.
Student wine and
beer tasting bill advances
SACRAMENTO It would be legal for
underage college students aspiring to be wine-
makers and brewers to taste what they produce
under a bill approved by the state Assembly.
AB1989 heads to the Senate after passing
Thursday on a 70-2 vote.

SAN MARCOS Fireghters aided by
calmer winds made progress Thursday
against a series of wildres burning across
San Diego County, and authorities collected
clues and solicited the publics help to
determine what caused so many blazes to
occur simultaneously.
While some of the nine res were extin-
guished and thousands of people were able
to return to their homes, the San Marcos
blaze roared back in the afternoon. Flames
raced along scrubby hillsides as massive
black plumes lled the skies.
Smoke limited visibility to a few feet at
times in the city of 85,000 about 35 miles
north of San Diego. On one street, ve
horses wandered nervously in a paddock as
reghters worked to protect nearby homes
and barns.
Sheriff Bill Gore said the are-up prompt-
ed more than 13,000 new evacuation
notices and served as a reminder to every-
body just how volatile this can be.
Fireghters who have worked in tempera-
tures sometimes topping 100 degrees this
week were expected to get relief on Friday.
The forecast called for temperatures to peak
around 90 and lighter winds. Abigger cool-
down was forecast for the weekend.
The res have destroyed at least eight
houses, an 18-unit condominium complex
and two businesses, and burned more than
15 square miles, causing more than $20
million in damage so far. The hardest-hit
areas were in San Marcos and Carlsbad. No
major injuries were reported.
While drought conditions and unusually
high temperatures made the area ripe for
wildres, there are suspicions that at least
some of the blazes were set. Gore said arson
is being looked at but so are many other
possibilities, such as sparks from vehicles.
Fire and police investigators are working
together to determine where and how the
res started, and Gore encouraged the public
to contact authorities with any informa-
tion.
Since the res began Tuesday, 125,000
evacuation notices have been sent. Schools
and parks across the county were shut down.
While local authorities congratulated
themselves for the cooperative effort
among agencies and the bravery shown by
reghters, not everyone was pleased.
Greg Saska stood in front of his charred
Carlsbad home Thursday in sandals that
showed his soot-covered feet. He said he
was not impressed with the re response.
I dont want to complain, but I wish they
had just made a little more effort to put the
re out, Saska said. The end of the house
... was still burning. And they (reghters)
just left. And Im just kinda going, What
wouldve been the big deal to stay here
another 10 minutes and put that out total-
ly? I just dont get it.
In San Marcos, reghters on the ground
and in the air fought to save homes as the
are-up sent ames running up a slope in a
heavily vegetated area. The re was being
driven by fuel and topography, said
Division Chief Dave Allen of the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Its created its own weather pattern there
as it sucks oxygen in, he said.
State re Capt. Kendal Bortisser said the
re was running east along hillsides behind
California State University, San Marcos,
which canceled graduation ceremonies
because of the danger from the ames.
The 1 1/2-square-mile blaze was only 5
percent contained by late Thursday after-
noon.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama, who has said he would have to
think long and hard before letting a son
play football because of the risk of head
injuries, is planning a summit this month
on youth sports safety and concussions.
The White House announced the May 29
conference Thursday and said it will include
athletes, parents, coaches, experts and other
interested parties. Obamas aides said the
White House Healthy Kids & Safe Sports
Concussion Summit will bring new commit-
ments from the public and private sectors to
research sports-related concussions and to
raise awareness on how to identify, treat and
prevent them.
The White House said Obama, as a parent
and a sports fan, appreciates the role that
sports play in young peoples lives and is
committed to helping ensure that children
continue to play safely.
Obama said in a 2013 interview with the
New Republic that football may need to
change to prevent injuries.
Im a big football fan, but I have to tell
you if I had a son, Id have to think long and
hard before I let him play football, Obama
said. And I think that those of us who love
the sport are going to have to wrestle with
the fact that it will probably change gradual-
ly to try to reduce some of the violence. In
some cases, that may make it a little bit less
exciting, but it will be a whole lot better for
the players, and those of us who are fans
maybe wont have to examine our con-
sciences quite as much.
Obama said he worries more about college
players than professionals.
NFL players have a union, theyre grown
men, they can make some of these decisions
on their own, and most of them are well-
compensated for the violence they do to
their bodies, Obama said. You read some of
these stories about college players who
undergo some of these same problems with
concussions and so forth and then have
nothing to fall back on. Thats something
that Id like to see the NCAAthink about.

10,000 gallons of oil
spill on Los Angeles streets
LOS ANGELES Ageyser of oil sprayed
onto buildings and puddled in knee-high
pools of crude in Los Angeles streets after a
valve on a high-pressure pipeline failed
Thursday.
About 10,000 gallons of oil spewed 20
feet high over approximately half a mile of
the industrial area of Atwater Village about
12:15 a.m., Fire Capt. Jaime Moore said.
Four commercial businesses near the bor-
der of Glendale were affected, as well as a
strip club that was evacuated after oil came
through air vents. The parking lot was
closed, and patrons and employees were
forced to leave behind their crude-coated
cars.
Crews were able to remotely shut off the
20-inch line after about 45 minutes.
Inspectors went right to the failed valve.
They knew right away where the problem
originated, Moore said. Determining
exactly what caused the failure would take
some time, he said.

NEW YORK The Federal
Communications Commission on Thursday
voted to go forward with the proposal of
new rules that could set standards for
Internet providers who wish to create paid
priority fast lanes on their networks.
The preliminary vote, in which three of
agencys commissioners supported the
measure and two dissented, moves the so-
called net neutrality rules into a formal
public comment period. After the 120-day
period ends, the FCC will revise the propos-
al and vote on a nal set of rules. FCC
Chairman Tom Wheeler has said he wants
the rules in place by the end of this year.
Today we take another step in what has
been a decade-long effort to protect a free
and open Internet, Wheeler, a Democrat,
said before the vote.
But the idea of allowing priority access,
even if its regulated by the government,
has received heavy criticism from many
companies that do business online, along
with open Internet advocates. Outside the
hearing protesters banged drums and held up
signs calling for net neutrality. At least one
was ushered out of the hearing after standing
up and yelling at the commissioners.
Commissioner Michael ORielly, who
voted no, called the proposed rules a regu-
latory boondoggle, arguing that support-
ers of the rules havent shown they will help
consumers.
And Commissioner Ajit Pai, who also
voted no, said the issue would be better
decided by Congress than by ve unelected
ofcials. But since the issue has fallen on
the commission, he argued that a group of
economists from across the country should
do peer-reviewed studies and host a series of
public hearings to hammer out their differ-
ences before a decision is made.
In short, getting the future of the Internet
right is more important than getting this
done right now, Pai said.
A previous set of rules from 2010 was
struck down by an appeals court in January
after Verizon challenged them. The FCC
says the rules currently proposed follow the
blueprint set forth by that court decision.
In addition, the commission will consider
the possibility of dening Internet service
providers as common carriers, like tele-
phone companies, which are subject to
greater regulation than Internet providers,
under Title II of the Communications Act of
1934.

Diversity and community
at Bridgepointe Ice Rink
Editor,
Regarding Jack Kirkpatricks letter
The high cost of youth sports in
the May 8 edition of the Daily
Journal, no one was denied the oppor-
tunity to skate for nancial reasons;
many scholarships were given each
year. Parents handed down equipment;
Ice Center had a donation bin.
The cost to skate was $10 for three
hours, including skate rental. Where
else can you take a family at this
price? Mom and Tot and Learn to
Skate classes were held through San
Mateo Parks and Recreation; birthday
parties and summer camps were also
available.
Ice Center offered programs for San
Mateo and Redwood City PAL, allow-
ing kids to skate for free. The rink
hosted school and church group
fundraisers, raising thousands of dol-
lars. Disco skating and broom ball
were fun activities where youth could
hang out with friends. Girl Scout and
Boy Scout troops held eld trips to
the rink.
Bridgepointe was the only rink to
allow wheelchairs on the ice for San
Mateo County Adaptive PE. Now,
those kids dont have a place to
skate. Bridgepointe also was a PE
source for home schooling.
Dont forget adult leagues and pro-
grams; Ice Center offered $5
CheapSkate for adults on their lunch
hour. For many, this was their only
chance for exercise. And where else
can adults over 55 regularly partici-
pate in team sports? Skating is a life
sport for all ages.
The rink was a great cultural center.
Before closing, the rink hosted the
Chinese National team, and the 1980
Russian Miracle on Ice team that
lost to the U.S. one of the most
famous moments in sports history.
The kids watched and skated in clinics
with these players. All for free.
The diversity and community out-
reach was already there, which is why
so many people are ghting hard to
keep the Bridgepointe Ice Rink.
Please join us.

Yes on Proposition 42
L
ast June, state legislators dropped a bombshell
that they no longer wanted to pay cities and dis-
tricts for the California Public Records Act and the
Ralph M. Brown Act even though it was mandated by the
state. As part of the state Legislatures budget negotia-
tions, trailer bills were approved to make these provi-
sions optional, but encourage local government agencies
to follow them as best practices.
After a tremendous amount of public fervor about such
an assault on the publics right to know, there was signi-
cant backtracking and discussion of a new proposition
that would continue to require it and that the state should
not pay for local compliance. So here we are.
Proposition 42 is a legislative constitutional amend-
ment that would require cities, counties and school dis-
tricts to comply with the states open meeting and public
records laws and eliminate the requirement that the state
reimburse that expense. While it is inherently wrong for
the state to require local governments to adhere to a state
law, this proposition will ensure that the states open
meeting and public records law essentially remain as they
are.
The California Public Records Act, passed in 1968, was
landmark legislation designed to allow public access to
government records, the peoples business. In tandem
with the Ralph M. Brown Act, passed in 1953, it provides
freedom of information and establishes the publics right
to participate in government activity.
Part of the California Public Records Act requires gov-
ernment agencies to respond to a public record request
within 10 days and provide a reason for denying a request.
Both are important and essential to ensuring the public
continues to receive the information we require to ensure
our governments run effectively and in the proper light.
While we disagree with the premise that local govern-
ments should pay for a state mandate, but recognize that
the greater good is served when these acts are protected.

Yes on Proposition 41
I
n 2008, California voters passed a $900 million
bond measure to help fund the CalVet Farm and Home
Loan Program with the intention of assisting return-
ing veterans with buying a home or farm.
That bond had marginal success for a variety of reasons
including historically low interest rates and the recent
housing crisis. Of the original amount, about $500 mil-
lion remains available. Now, Proposition 41 seeks to use
that previously approved bond money to provide veteran
housing assistance in a different way. If passed, this
proposition would fund construction, renovation and
acquisition of affordable multi-family housing to be rented
to low-income veterans and their families.
In doing so, the proposition would fund much-needed
housing throughout the state for a population that could
use the assistance. While it is not a replacement for a
statewide housing program with incentives to build for all
low-income populations, it is a suitable use for the previ-
ously approved bond that simply didnt take into account
the changing times and nancial situations of veterans.
This proposition would not add to the states debt since
the bonds were already approved and would assist veterans
who need the help the most. Since it centers on low-
income veterans, it will also reduce the overall social cost
for those looking for a roof over their heads.
Proposition 41 is a common-sense approach to housing
our veterans and to provide revenue for local governments
looking to provide a basic service to those who need it.
Vote yes.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Investors retreated
from stocks Thursday, leading the Dow
Jones industrial average to its worst
day in ve weeks, after disappointing
earnings from Wal-Mart and mixed
news about the global economy.
Financial markets reected broader
investor jitters: government bonds
rose, small-company stocks continued
to plunge, and safe, slower-growth
industries fared the best.
The latest economic data from the
United States was mixed: Factory out-
put fell. But fewer people sought unem-
ployment benets, evidence that hat
solid hiring should continue. The news
was more disappointing in Europe,
where the economy of the 18 countries
that share the euro saw output rise just
0.2 percent in the rst quarter.
People are just a little bit nervous
about the entire global economic envi-
ronment at the moment, said Ryan
Larson, head of U.S. equities at the
Royal Bank of Canada.
The Dow lost 167.16 points, or 1
percent, to 16,446.81. The Standard &
Poors 500 index fell 17.68 points, or
0.9 percent, to 1,870.85 and the
Nasdaq composite fell 31.33 points, or
0.8 percent, to 4,069.29.
The Dow was dragged down by Wal-
Mart, which fell $1.91, or 2.4 percent,
to $76.83. The company reported
lower earnings for its most recent quar-
ter and warned that the current one was
not expected to be much better.
The company, like many other retail-
ers, blamed harsh winter weather.
Department store operator Kohls fell
after announcing a drop in rst-quarter
earnings. Kohls ended down $1.82, or
3.4 percent, to $52.21.
One bright spot was Cisco Systems.
The telecommunications equipment
maker jumped $1.37, or 6 percent, to
$24.18. It was one of only two stocks
in the Dow 30 to rise. Cisco reported
earnings that were better than expect-
ed.
The broader stock sell-off comes two
days after the Dow and S&P 500 hit
record highs.
But the bigger story of what hap-
pened on Wall Street was in the bond
market.
Bonds had their best day since early
February, when measured by the
Barclays U.S. Aggregate bond index, a
broad gauge of the entire market, from
Treasurys to corporate debt.
The yield on the U.S. 10-year note
hit its lowest level in 10 months, drop-
ping to 2.49 percent. At the beginning
of the week, the 10-year had a yield of
2.66 percent. That is an extraordinary
move for bond yields.
Typically, such a movement in the
bond market would signal that there
was something wrong with the U.S.
economy. But Thursdays economic
news was mixed at worst. Factory pro-
duction declined in April. But the num-
ber of Americans seeking unemploy-
ment benets fell to a seven-year low
last week.
To add to the mystery, U.S. consumer
prices rose at their fastest pace in near-
ly a year in April, the Labor
Department said Thursday. The con-
sumer price index, an often-quoted
barometer of ination in the U.S., rose
by 0.3 percent last month due to high-
er food and gas prices. Ination is on
pace to rise 2 percent this year. While
not alarming, it is noticeably higher
than a year ago.
In a normal environment, investors
dont buy bonds at 2.5 percent interest
if ination is running at 2 percent. Its
just not worth it.
Its really confusing, to be honest,
said Jack Ablin, chief investment of-
cer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago,
who oversees $66 billion in assets.
The bond market thinks theres a risk
out there that the stock market isnt
seeing.
One explanation is that foreign buy-
ers raced into the U.S. Treasury market
looking for safety, causing a distorted
move in prices, traders said.
Dow dips to worst day in five weeks
By Tom Krisher
DETROIT General Motors recalled an
additional 2.7 million vehicles Thursday as
a deep dive into safety issues at the nations
biggest automaker turned up more problems
with some of the cars it built over the past
decade.
The latest recalls bring GMs total for the
year in the U.S. to more than 11 million
cars and trucks, close to its annual recall
record of 11.8 million vehicles, set in
2004.
The auto industry also is on track to set a
single-year record for recalls. Auto compa-
nies have recalled 15.4 million vehicles in
a little more than four months. The old sin-
gle-year record for recalls is 30.8 million
vehicles in 2004. Toyota, Ford, and
Chrysler also have announced sizeable
recalls this year.
Several factors are behind the industrys
recall binge. GM is reviewing all of its
vehicles for safety issues following the
recall earlier this year of 2.6 million older
small cars with a defective ignition switch.
GM knew about the switch problem for a
decade before nally issuing a recall. The
company links the problem to 13 deaths
and faces multiple investigations, includ-
ing one by the Justice Department, over its
handling of the matter.
Industrywide, automakers are moving
faster to x problems than they have in the
past in a bid to avoid bad publicity and
record nes from government agencies.
Jeff Boyer, the new safety chief at GM,
said in an interview with the Associated
Press that the company is looking at cases
that were under review in its system and
moving to resolve them as fast as possible.
GM, he said, has added 35 people to its
recall review team.
Were not waiting for warranty trends to
develop over time, Boyer said. Its not
only about frequency, it has to be about the
seriousness of the potential defect as well.
GM said the new recalls will x problems
with brake lights, headlamps, power brakes
and windshield wipers. The Detroit
automaker will take a $200 million charge
this quarter, on top of a $1.3 billion charge
in the rst quarter, mostly to cover the
repairs. Shares fell 2 percent in afternoon
trading.
The largest of Thursdays recalls shows
how GM is behaving differently. The com-
pany is recalling 2.4 million Chevrolet
Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura midsize
cars from the 2004 through 2012 model
years because the brake light wires can cor-
rode, causing the lights to fail. GM says it
knew of the problem nearly six years ago,
but previously only issued a bulletin telling
dealers of the problem and xed a small
number under a service campaign.
GM recalls 2.7M more cars; industry on record pace

U.S. homebuilders are feeling less
condent this month in their near-term
sales prospects, reflecting doubts
stirred by a sluggish start to the annu-
al spring home-selling season.
Even so, builders are more opti-
mistic that sales will perk up later this
year. That would bode well for home
construction, which slowed early this
year as severe winter weather damp-
ened sales in many markets.
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo builder senti-
ment index released Thursday fell to
45. Thats down one point from a
revised reading of 46 in April and the
lowest level in 12 months.
Readings below 50 indicate that
more builders view sales conditions as
poor rather than good. The overall
index has been below 50 since
February.
Builders are waiting for consumers
to feel more secure about their nan-
cial situation, said David Crowe, the
NAHBs chief economist. Once job
growth becomes more consistent, con-
sumers will return to the market in
larger numbers and that will boost
builder condence.
Many analysts have been expecting
an improving economy and job market
to lift the housing market, which has
been recovering the past two years.
But housing has struggled to maintain
momentum.

Adobes Creative Cloud suffers lengthy outage
NEW YORK Adobes Creative Cloud software sub-

for the 1.8 million designers, Web developers and other
creative professionals who pay to use it.
The outage is a black eye for Adobe Systems Inc., which
shifted to the online subscription model for distributing
its software a year ago. Creative Cloud makes Adobes
software products available through a monthly subscrip-
tion that starts at $50 for an individual if they sign up for
at least a year. The maker of Photoshop, Illustrated and

When the term prodigy is used, its usu-
ally referring to a young child who accom-
plishes great things in a given eld.
Consider then Travis Russo, who can be
described as an adult prodigy. Russo, a
freshman diver on the College of San Mateo
swimming and diving team, did not pick up
the sport until last December. Fast forward
six months after his rst practice dive and
Russo found himself standing on the podi-
um at the California Community College
Swimming and Diving
state championships
May 2 with a third-place
finish and All-American
recognition in the 3-
meter spring board com-
petition.
I was really excited,
said Russo, 19, and a
2012 graduate of San
Mateo High School.
Russo also nished 10th on the 1-meter
spring board.
Russo admitted that he didnt have a lot of
success on the scoreboard during the
regular season. But the simple fact of suc-
cessfully completing a dive in competition
was success enough for him.
I learned a lot of dives really fast, but
there were a lot of errors on each one (learn-
ing them), Russo said.
In the state championships, everything
came together for Russo. CSM swim coach
Wright said the eventual winner was head
and shoulders better than the rest of the
competition, so the race was really for sec-
ond place. Russo had a shot, but Wright said
the degree of difculty of the eventual sec-
ond-place nishers last dive was higher
than Russos. But having watched Russos
dives during the competition, he knew
Russo was going to be in the mix to be on
the podium.
His rst dive, it didnt hurt him, Wright
said. His second dive, he had a great dive.
And then came Russos third dive an
inward 2 1/2. In his nal practice of that
particular dive, Russo did a full out belly
op. He didnt try it again until the compe-
tition.

Half MoonBay third baseman Angela Brazil throws across the diamnond for an out at rst
during the Cougarscome-from-behind,3-2 win over Capuchino.The win secured an automatic
CCS berth for the Cougars, while the Mustangs will apply for an at-large bid.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Amy Francis, Half Moon Bays No. 9 hit-
ter, made the most of her second chance.
After her ball into left-eld foul territory
was dropped by the Capuchino left elder,
Francis dumped the next pitch she saw in
front of the left elder, driving in a pair of
runs and turning Half Moon Bays 2-1 decit
into a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth
inning.
The Cougars then retired the Mustangs in
the top of the seventh to secure the win on
the nal day of the regular season.
Honestly, I didnt see her drop it. I was
running for my life, Francis said. I felt
[the ball off the bat the next time] was kinda
short. I thought it would be in an awkward
place.
Not only did the win secure a tie for second
place with Hillsdale in the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division, it guaran-
teed a spot in the Central Coast Section
playoffs for Half Moon Bay (10-4 PAL Bay,
20-7 overall). The top three teams in the
Bay receive automatic bids to the post sea-
son, and a loss to Capuchino would have
given the Mustangs the berth.
We were tied for second (coming into
Thursdays game), but if we lost, we would
have dropped to fourth, said Half Moon Bay
coach Deanna Rocha. Our goal every year is
we want to nish in the top three and get an
automatic bid.
After four scoreless innings, it appeared
that bid would go to Capuchino. The
Mustangs (8-6, 15-11) scratched out a run in
the top of the fth and added a second run in
the top of the sixth to take a 2-0 lead and
were only six outs away from punching their
own ticket to CCS.
But the Capuchino defense came up short
when it mattered the most. The Mustangs
committed four errors in the game includ-
ing two during Half Moon Bays three-run,
sixth-inning rally in which all three of the
Cougars runs were unearned.
You gotta play defense, said Capuchino

Posting the best overall record among
California Community Colleges at 42-2,
the Lady Bulldogs are poised to make a run
at their rst ever state title.
CSM has been an offensive juggernaut
this season, pacing the state in team bat-
ting average this season and currently rank-
ing second with a .429 team average. The
Lady Bulldogs have also been one of the
most balanced lineups in the state. Six of
CSMs players have eclipsed the 50-hit
plateau while freshman Melina Rodriguez is
currently sitting on 49 hits.
Freshman leadoff hitter Raquel Martinez
has proved one of the premier table setters
in the state, ranking fth with a .539 aver-
age. Martinez is also tied for third in the
state with 34 stolen bases. But the CSM
thunder has been a game-changer, especial-
ly as of late. Sophomore third baseman
Brooke Ramsey ranked third in the state
with 15 home runs while Ramsey and
Natalie Saucedo are tied for second on the
team with 50 RBIs apiece. Sophomore
Talisa Fiame ranks second in the state with
60 RBIs.
CSM won the Coast North Conference
title with a 17-1 record in league and n-
ished the regular season on a six-game win-
ning streak in which it outscored opponets
74-1. The Lady Bulldogs scored eight
straight mercy-rule victories through its
regional bracket and has won ve straight
postseason games through May 9-11 Super
Regional triumph.
CSM head coach Nicole Borg is in her
eighth season at the helm of the Lady
Bulldogs and previously served as an assis-
tant coach for former legendary CSM head
coach Tom Martinez.

As big a day as Jared Lucian had at the
plate, Menlo still could have topped
Capuchino without him.
With a 14-1 win in Thursdays Peninsula
Athletic League Tournament seminal play-
off at Capuchino, the Knights advance to
Fridays championship game against
Menlo-Atherton. And the secret to the
Menlos success in the PAL playoffs is that
Knights manager Craig Schoof saved his
two best pitchers for last.
Menlo right-hander Wyatt Driscoll went
the distance to improve his record to 7-4.
The senior has been an interesting weapon
this season. Thursdays outing marked his
18th start of the year, though many have
been in two or three-inning stints. Driscoll
has working into the sixth inning just ve
times this year, but Thursdays complete-
game victory his fourth of the season
marked his second consecutive outing in
which he hasnt allowed an earned run.
Coach told me yesterday I was getting
the ball so I knew I would go a couple
innings, Driscoll said. But I was obvious-
ly having some success. It really worked
out for me today.
Schoof said the original plan was to use
Driscoll for a few innings before going to
the bullpen, but he was so efcient in need-
ing just 35 pitches to get through the rst
three innings that Schoof decided to ride his
senior ace.
Wyatts (pitch count) was low today and
all of a sudden Im thinking, Do we want to
burn any other pitchers? Schoof said. So,
I just let Wyatt run with it. Hes got ve days
before he starts next Wednesday in the rst
[Central Coast Section playoff] game. So, I

SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cains winless
drought is over, even though the Giants
three-time All-Star pitcher is still strug-
gling with some of his mechanics.
After nearly seven weeks of frustration,
Cain isnt about to complain.
Buster Posey hit a go-ahead double as part
of a three-run fth inning and San Francisco
held on to beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 on
Thursday night.
Cain (1-3) earned his rst win of the sea-
son despite another shaky outing at AT&T
Park. The former San Francisco ace gave up
two home runs and allowed all the Marlins
scoring in the rst three innings before set-
tling down to pitch into the eighth.
He didnt cave in, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. He gave up four runs in the rst
three innings and here he is in the eighth. It
says a lot about him. Good for him. Its got
to be a good feeling.
Cain hadnt won since Aug. 17, 2013 a
string of 11 consecutive starts.
It looked like the drought might continue
after Cain was nearly knocked out of the
game in the third inning, but he stuck
around long enough to get the win in his
second outing since slicing the index nger
on his right hand.
After giving up two home runs to the rst
seven batters he faced, Cain settled down to
allowed six hits over 7 2-3 uneven innings.
He struck out seven and walked three.
I made some bad pitch-
es and those guys really
capitalized on it, Cain
said. I was making good
pitches other than that. I
just needed to eliminate
the big one that kept
costing me.
Mike Morse homered
for the second consecu-
tive game and drove in
three runs while Hunter Pence added three
hits and scored twice for the Giants, who
trailed by three runs before rallying to bail
out Cain.
Garrett Jones hit his sixth home run for
Miami.
The Marlins had won 12 of their last 15
games at the Giants waterfront ballpark and
were comfortably ahead 4-1 before San
Franciscos comeback.
We swung the bats great in the rst three
innings, Miami manager Mike Redmond
said. We have to do a better job of shutting
them down after we score. We have to do a
better job of executing our pitches and shut-
ting them down.
Morse, who nished with three hits, cut
the gap to 4-3 when he hit a two-run home
run off Miami starter Nathan Eovaldi (2-2)
in the third.
The Giants took the lead for good in the
fth after Angel Pagan drew a leadoff walk
and Pence singled. Posey followed with his
towering drive to right-center. Morse added
an RBI single.
Jeremy Affeldt retired one batter and
Sergio Romo worked the ninth for his 14th
save.
Miami couldnt capitalize off the quick
start and was held scoreless over the nal
six innings.
The Marlins announced before the game
that ace Jose Fernandez will have Tommy
John surgery Friday, ending the season for
the reigning NL Rookie of the Year.
Our focus is to get him back, Redmond
said. Im glad hes having it done and start-
ing his recovery process. Obviously its a
big blow for us.
Giancarlo Stanton singled in the fth to
extend his 17-game hitting streak but the
Marlins dropped to 2-6 on their 11-game
road trip.
Cain fell behind early after giving up a
solo home run to Derek Dietrich with one
out in the rst.
Miami added two runs in the second on
Jones two-run homer, then made it 4-1 on
Casey McGehees RBI double in the third.
Eovaldi gave up an RBI groundout to
Brandon Hicks in the second then retired
four straight following Morses home run
until the Giants broke the game open in the
fth. Eovaldi allowed nine hits and six runs
over 4 1-3 innings.
NOTES: Pablo Sandoval went 1 for 4 in
his return to the Giants lineup after leaving
Sundays win over Atlanta with a sore toe.
Anthony DeSclafani, who made his major
league debut Sunday in Fernandezs place,
will remain in the Marlins rotation for
now. Henderson Alvarez (2-3) pitches
Friday and makes his second career start
against the Giants.
Tim Hudson was scheduled to pitch for San
Francisco but has been scratched due to a
hip strain. Yusmeiro Petit (2-1) will start in
Hudsons place.
Cain perseveres to earn first win
By Gene Johnson
SEATTLE A long, long start for a
Washington state high school pitcher
caught the attention of Tampa Bay Rays ace
David Price.
Rochesters Dylan Fosnacht threw 194
pitches as he took a shutout into the 15th
inning of a tournament game Tuesday, as
The Chronicle of Centralia reported. The
right-hander wound up with a no-decision
when his team beat La Center 1-0 in the
17th inning.
Fosnacht struck out 17 while allowing
seven hits and three walks.
Price took notice of the performance on
Twitter, telling Fosnacht youre a beast ...
but lets be a little smarter brotha!! The
2012 AL Cy Young Award winner suggested
his coach should be red for letting the
young pitcher risk injury by staying in the
game so long.
The comments fueled an online debate
about the wisdom of the decision.
Rochester coach Jerry Striegel told the
Associated Press he was amazed by the
attention and that while the final pitch
count surprised him, he had been checking
with Fosnacht every inning to make sure he
was OK.
Maybe 194 pitches is a little out-
landish, Striegel said. But in the time and
the moment, I thought it was a good situa-
tion. He never seemed to be tiring.
What I feel bad about is drawing atten-
tion to Rochester and Rochester High
School for something I did, for something
it shouldnt be known for.
Former major leaguer pitcher Tommy
John, who underwent the pioneering elbow
ligament transplant procedure now known
as Tommy John surgery, saw no reason for a
prep player to throw that many pitches.
The guy should lose his job. He should
be red right now, John told the AP. He
would be collecting his last paycheck if I
were the athletic director, unless he was
tenured.
Fosnacht said hes not a major league
prospect or even a regular pitcher. Hes an
inelder who pitches every now and then,
and hes happy he gave his team a chance to
win. He said he wouldnt want any other
coach.
I personally loved every minute of it and
its a great memory to have, he wrote on
his Twitter feed.
The opposing starter was pretty sharp,

chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. will lead the
committee to nd a successor to base-
ball Commissioner Bud Selig.
Chicago White Sox chairman Jerry
Reinsdorf also is
on the seven-
member panel
a n n o u n c e d
Thursday, which
includes Colorado
chairman Dick
M o n f o r t ,
Philadelphia pres-
ident Dave
Montgomery, Los
Angeles Angels
owner Arte Moreno, Pittsburgh chair-
man Bob Nutting and Minnesota
chief executive ofcer Jim Pohlad.
The committee already has started
meeting and is to identify the candi-
date or candidates for Major League
Baseballs executive council, which
is to make a recommendation to own-
ers. A 75 percent vote among 30
clubs is needed for election.
Selig, who has headed baseball
since 1992, announced last fall he
plans to retire in January.
I know that a lot of people includ-
ing my family have had difculty
accepting, Selig said. Theyve
rehired me four or ve times, and I
understand people kept thinking that
was going to happen again, but its
not.
Selig sidestepped whether he would
remain as commissioner emeritus.
Details will all be worked out in
the coming months, he said.
The 72-year-old DeWitt, whose
father owned the Cincinnati Reds, has
run the Cardinals since he headed the
group that purchased the team in
1995 from Anheuser Busch. DeWitt
said he will listen to Seligs opinion
and there was no plan to hire a search
rm.
We will look to get input from all
the clubs. It wont just be a seven-
man committee doing everything and
informing them at the end, said
DeWitt, the new panels chairman.
Were obviously looking for a
strong CEO, a visionary leader who
has a passion for the game.

SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks general manager Doug
Wilson is wasting no time making changes after perhaps
his teams most crushing playoff collapse.
Wilson said Thursday that he told pending unrestricted
free agent defenseman Dan Boyle that he will not be re-
signed, informed unproductive forward Marty Havlat that he
will not be back next season and moved
top-line wing Brent Burns back to
defense after spending more than a year
as a forward on captain Joe Thorntons
line.
These changes all come two weeks after
the Sharks became the fourth team in
NHL history to lose a best-of-seven
series after winning the rst three games.
Wilson spent the past two weeks meet-
ing with coaches and players to help
determine what went wrong in the nal
four games against Los Angeles and how to get a team that
has been one of the best in the regular season the past decade
over the playoff hump.
You want to be careful not to change too many things,
but you better be really careful that youre not just avoiding
what really needs to take place, Wilson said. Theres two
sides to that. I think what we need to do is much more dras-
tic than just putting a Band-aide on it.
Wilson said the moves this offseason will build on the
moves made at the trade deadline in 2013, when the Sharks
dealt away Ryane Clowe, Douglas Murray and Michal
Handzus in an effort to become a faster and younger team.
Those moves helped San Jose make it all the way to Game
7 of the second round before losing to Los Angeles a year
ago and Wilson said the team is about two-thirds of the way
to completing the overhaul.
The team appeared closer than that after winning the rst
three games against the Kings but was unable to close the
series out. Wilson blamed the collapse on allowing too-
many odd-man rushes, a power play that went scoreless on
its last 16 chances, a lack of effort in Game 5 and a late-
game collapse in Game 6 after a disputed goal was allowed.
Our relationship with our fans has been strained and
weve got to go and re-earn that trust, Wilson said.
Boyle has been a key part of the Sharks since being
acquired in a trade from Tampa Bay in July 2008. His 68
goals and 201 assists in six seasons make him the career
leader in both categories in franchise history and he has
been a staple on the power-play unit.
He will be replaced on the blue line by Burns, who spent
his rst year and a half in San Jose on defense before mak-
ing the move to forward in March 2013.
Burns had a career-high 22 goals this season along with
26 assists as he teamed with Thornton on a physically
imposing line that controlled play for much of the season.
But Wilson said he is needed now on defense and compared
Burns potential impact there to Montreals P.K. Subban,
Winnipegs Dustin Byfuglien and Los Angeles Drew
Doughty.
When you take a look at that type of dynamic on the back
end, guys that move the puck up, shoot the puck on the
power play, it creates a tough matchup, Wilson said.
When he was originally moved up to forward, it was
because of an injury. He was coming back and he was having
trouble with certain parts of his skating.
Havlat scored 27 goals in three injury-plagued seasons
with San Jose after being acquired from Minnesota in a trade
for Dany Heatley. Havlat fell out of favor with the coaching
staff and was a healthy scratch in six of seven playoff
games. He is owed $6 million in the nal year of his con-
tract and will either be bought out or dealt.
Wilson would not divulge what other changes he had
planned but did say some of those could come in the teams
player leadership. Boyle must be replaced as an alternate
captain and Wilson said he expected some of the younger
core, including forwards Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski
and defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic, to possibly take a
bigger role.
I expect our young players to take this as probably one
of the great extreme learning moments to say, You know
what? Thats not happening again, Wilson said.

Doug Wilson
49ers sign draftees Hyde, Johnson
SANTACLARA The San Francisco 49ers have signed
running back Carlos Hyde, their second-round draft pick
last week, and cornerback Dontae Johnson, a fourth-
rounder.
Each got four-year deals Thursday.
Hyde was a star at Ohio State and was voted the Big
Ten's top running back in 2013. He rushed for 1,527
yards (7.3 average) and 15 touchdowns on 208 carries,
and scored three times on receptions. He closed out his
Buckeyes career with nine consecutive 100-yard rushing
games.
Johnson, of North Carolina State, was the second of
two fourth-round picks (129th overall) by the 49ers. As a
senior in 2013, he started all 12 games and had 82 tack-
les, a team-high three interceptions, two passes defensed
and one forced fumble.
49ers add quarterback Josh Johnson
SANTA CLARA Quarterback Josh Johnson has
returned to the San Francisco 49ers and his former col-
lege coach, Jim Harbaugh.
Johnson was cut by the 49ers before the 2012 season,
then rejoined them Wednesday after being cut two days
earlier by Cincinnati.
Harbaugh took a chance on the undersized Johnson at
San Diego, developing the 5-foot-11, 145-pound
Oakland Tech prep star into a record-setting college QB.
But current starter Colin Kaepernick emerged as the
steady backup to Alex Smith going into 2012, and Scott
Tolzien earned the No. 3 spot that year.
The 49ers traded for Blaine Gabbert in March, so he and
Johnson could compete for the No. 2 job.
Also Wednesday, San Francisco released defensive
tackle Christian Tupou and signed fth-round draft pick
cornerback Keith Reaser to a four-year deal.
49ers briefs
WASHINGTON For all their mysterious slumps and chem-
istry curiosities, the Indiana Pacers are back where they were
last season in the Eastern Conference nals.
David West scored 29 points Thursday night, and the Pacers
blew a 16-point second-half lead before pulling away late in a
93-80 win that ousted the Washington Wizards in six games.
Next up, a rematch with the Miami Heat.
Lance Stephenson added 17 points and eight assists for the
Pacers, who earned a Game 1 at home against the two-time
defending NBAchampions on Sunday. Indiana took Miami to
seven games in the conference nals a year ago.
Marcin Gortat scored 19 points, and John Wall had 12 points
and nine assists for the Wizards, who ended their best playoff
run in decades. Washington won a playoff series for the rst
time since 2005 and a second-round game for the rst time
since 1982. But the team was ultimately undone by an inabili-
ty to win at home, going just 1-4 at the Verizon Center and 5-1
on the road in the playoffs.
The Wizards appeared to have a x on the home-court demons
when Bradley Beal stole a rebound from Roy Hibbert, then hit
a 3-pointer at the other end to put the Wizards up 74-73 with 8
1/2minutes to play.
But that was Washingtons only lead of the second half. West
answered with a pair of jumpers, including a tough fade-away,
and Stephenson added a layup to start a decisive 20-6 run that
included three Wizards turnovers in four possessions.
Washington went ve minutes without a point and scored only
two eld goals after Beals go-ahead 3.

Sierra College
One of the characteristics of a state-cham-
pionship caliber team is depth of pitching,
and the Wolverines are no exception. They
boast sophomore pitcher Maddie Phelps,
whose 0.82 ERAleads the state. And Phelps
isnt even their best pitcher. Sierras ace is
freshman Kalyn Paque, who boasts a 20-1
record while ranking ninth in the state with
a 1.62 ERA.
Make no mistake though, Sierra qualied
for the nal four by virtue of its hitting
prowess. Currently riding a 15-game win-
ning streak, the Wolverines have outscored
opponents 132-27 in that stretch, dating
back to April 5. Sierra powered its way
through the May 9-11 Super Regional,
going undefeated through the winners
bracket with a 21-8 win over Santa Rosa,
before sweeping top-seed Solano with wins
of 7-6 and 10-1 in consecutive days.
Ranking sixth in the state with a .368
team batting average and fth in the state
with 50 home runs, Sierra is paced by soph-
omore second baseman Tayana Mata, who
won the team Triple Crown with a .485 bat-
ting average, 17 home runs and 57 RBIs.
By the numbers though, Sierra is the
worst elding team in the nal four, com-
mitting 51 errors as a team. Mata and short-
stop Courtney Kelley have committed 13
errors apiece this season, combining for
just ve less than CSMs entire team.
Helmed by three-time California
Community College softball Coach of the
Year Darci Brownell, the Wolverines are 40-
4 overall and posted a league record of 20-1
to win the Big 8 title. Sierra last appeared in
the state championships in 2012, advanc-
ing through the CSM Super Regional
Santiago Canyon College
It has been a historic year for the Hawks,
who won their rst Orange Empire crown
this season. Having nished above the .500
mark just four times since the programs
inception in 2007, they surpassed the 35-
win mark for the rst time this season and
are currently 37-6 overall.
Santiago Canyons beard-and-butter is its
pitching staff, which ranks as the best in
the state with a 1.43 team ERA.
The Hawks advanced to the state champi-
onship through the Super Regional with
No. 1-ranked Palomar, but did not play the
Comets in the bracket. Palomar went two-
and-out with losses to Cerritos and Santa
Ana, while Santiago Canyon scored come-
back wins in each of its nal two victories
to qualify for its rst ever nal four.
Hawks head coach Lisa Camarco has
helmed the team since 2007 and has twice
been named Orange Empire Conference
Coach of the Year in 2011 and 13.
Mt. San Antonio College
There was only one team among
California Community College teams to hit
better than CSM this season, and that team
was Mt. San Antonio. The Mounties hit
.431 as a team this season and outscored
their opponents 30-3 through a three-game
sweep in the Super Regional, including two
straight victories over perennial power-
house Cypress.
Mt. San Antonio had three players reach
double-gures in home runs this season,
including the state leader Charlotte Foster,
who has 20 home runs. Freshman shortstop
Celina Felix ranks third in the state with 15
homers and all players with 65 RBIs.
The Mounties took third place with a
record of 17-4 in the South Coast
Conference this season but at 37-8 were one
of two teams to pace all Southern California
teams with 37 overall wins Santiago
Canyon being the other.
Head coach Rubilena Rojas is in her sec-
ond year at the helm of the Mounties.
Assistant coach Crysl Bustos stands to be
the biggest softball celebrity on staff at the
state championship, as the rst-year coach
is a three-time Olympian, winning gold in
each the 2000 and 04 Olympic Games.
Mt. San Antonio has won three state
titles, in 2003, 05 and 09.

CSM
just kind of ran with Wyatt.
Menlo had a big day at the plate as well,
banging out 14 hits in the game, with seven
runs on seven hits coming in the seventh
inning. Lucian went large with a 4-for-5 day
including two hits in one inning in the
seventh clubbing a double and a home run
and totaling ve RBIs and three runs scored
on the day.
Ive just been trying to stay down on
the ball, no pop-ups, Lucian said. And I
hit the ball well today.
The sophomore second baseman actually
started the game at shortstop with a slew of
Menlo players running late due to APtesting.
And by the time Lucian moved over to second
base in the third inning with the arrival of
regular shortstop Mikey Diekroeger, the
Knights were already staked to a 5-0 lead.
Unlike Menlo, Capuchino used its three
regular pitchers through the first two
rounds of the PAL Tournament. Junior left-
hander Joe Galea went the distance in
Tuesdays opener to lead the Mustangs past
Sequoia 3-1. And right-handers Rory
McDaid and Antonio Martinucci combined
for seven innings of work in Wednesdays
5-3 win over Carlmont. So, the Mustangs
had to turn to an untested junior Thursday
in right-hander Jesse Palafox.
In just his third appearance of the year, and
his rst start, Palafox lasted just 1 2/3
innings in taking the loss. Cap followed
with 4 1/3 innings from senior Austin Keyser
in just his fourth appearance of the season.
Then the Mustangs turned to a pair of frosh-
soph call-ups as sophomores Joe Katout and
Joe Gutierrez each made their varsity debuts.
Ill be honest, the boys were pooped a lit-
tle bit, Capuchino manager Matt Wilson
said. We played two tough games against top
teams and [Thursday] our top three pitchers
were already done, and we had to go to our
staff ... and we went to guys that didnt throw
as many innings [this year]. But thats the
way it was going to go. If it didnt happen
today, it was going to happen tomorrow.
With teams having to play as many as
four games in four days throughout the PAL
Tournament, being pooped is pretty much
par for the course. Menlo was fortunate in
that it received a first-round bye then got a
complete-game gem Wednesday out of
sophomore Davis Rich in just his second
start of the year Wednesday in a 5-4 win
over Half Moon Bay.
All-in-all, the PAL Tournament has no
impact on the PAL standings or on CCS
seeding. The wins and losses in the tourney
dont even equate into teams records. The
playoff tourney is essentially a warm-up for
the CCS playoffs, and the games are valu-
able in that they allow for teams to play
competitively instead of having to sit out a
week heading into CCS.
Honestly, were actually treating [the PAL
Tourney] as non-league games because they
dont really mean anything, Schoof said.
At this point of the year, if you can get three
games its good because you probably get
more out of playing games than you do out of
practice.
With pride on the line though, the games
themselves still mean a lot to coaches and
players alike. But with the daily grind of
playing twice as many games as high
school teams ordinarily would during
almost any other stretch of the season, the
tournament also serves as a valuable tool in
which coaches can assess the depth of their
respective baseball programs.
It would be nice to win it, because you
take pride in winning your league and every-
thing, Wilson said. And no matter what, we
play the game to play the game. We didnt
come out to lose, thats for sure. But we got
to see a lot of guys.
Menlo will match up with Menlo-
Atherton in Fridays PAL Tournament cham-
pionship game at Half Moon Bay. First
pitch is scheduled for 4. p.m.
We have a pretty good shot to win
[Friday], Schoof said. We really have a
deep pitching staff. Weve groomed it into a
deep pitching staff. I wouldnt say at the
beginning of the year it was deep at all. But
weve really capitalized on other teams mis-
takes and were really hitting our spots.

Katie Ledecky to attend Stanford
BETHESDA, Md. Olympic champion
swimmer Katie Ledecky plans to swim for
Stanford after she graduates from high
school next year.
The 17-year-old from Bethesda, Maryland,
announced her commitment Thursday. She is
a junior honors student at Stone Ridge
School of the Sacred Heart in her hometown.
Ledecky will join Olympic champion
Missy Franklin in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Franklin is wrapping up her freshman
year at California. She plans to swim during
her sophomore year before turning pro lead-
ing to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Ledecky won the 800-meter freestyle as a
15-year-old at the 2012 London Olympics,
where she was the youngest member of the
entire U.S. team. Ayear later, she won four
gold medals and broke two world records at
the world championships in Barcelona. She
was chosen the 2013 FINA world swimmer
of the year.
Ledecky swims for her high school team
and trains at Nation's Capital Swim Club in
Washington under coach Bruce Gemmell.
Under NCAA rules, Stanford women's
swim coach Greg Meehan can't comment
until Ledecky signs a national letter of
intent in November.

Aaron Hernandez indicted
on two more murders
BOSTON Former New England
Patriot Aaron Hernandez, who was
already accused of murder in a mans
shooting death last year, ambushed
and executed two other men a year
earlier after an encounter at a night-
club, prosecutors said Thursday in
announcing new murder charges
against Hernandez in their deaths.
The victims in that killing,
Daniel de Abreu and Saro Furtado,
were shot to death as they sat in a car
in Bostons South End on July 16,
2012. Police have said they were
shot by someone who drove up
alongside in an SUV with Rhode
Island license plates and opened re,
and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel
Conley said Thursday in announc-
ing that Hernandez has been indicted
that the victims were ambushed and
executed as they drove home and
that Hernandez was the gunman.
Lawyers for Hernandez, who is
awaiting trial in the separate 2013
shooting death near his home of 27-
year-old Odin Lloyd in North
Attleborough, did not immediately
respond to messages seeking com-
ment about the new indictment.
Sports brief

SPORTS
I had only learned [that particular dive]
about two weeks prior, Russo said.
When he did it in the state nals he
nailed it.
I had the highest score out of the whole
meet (with that dive), Russo said. When I
hit the water, I knew it was good. I came out
of the water so excited. I didnt even care
where I nished (in the rankings). I was just
so happy I completed it.
When Russo hit that dive, Wright knew he
was in line for a medal.
It was just beautiful, Wright said. He
had four of his best dives in a row. That day
was going to be his best day on the board
and he picked the right day to do it.
It was remarkable. I could watch the
video (right now) of his inward 2 1/2 and be
entertained.
Russos decision to even try the sport was
on sort of on a whim. He said he was mess-
ing around, diving and ipping into the
CSM pool when one of his friends, former
Serra swimmer Jake Folan, said he should
become a diver. CSM already had a female
diver, Erin Harris, but in order for her to
compete, CSM would need a male counter-
part. Wright and Folan eventually persuaded
Russo to give the sport a shot. The rest, as
they say, is history.
Harris had a big day herself at the state
nals, nishing sixth in the 3-meter and
earning All-American status. She was 12th
on the 1-meter.
Given his dearth of experience and train-
ing which was comprised of about three
hours on the weekends training with the
masters program at Stanford the fact
Russo came along so fast in such a short
amount of time in simply mind-boggling.
I didnt get much board time because
[CSM] didnt have boards, Russo said.
The people I was going against were [train-
ing] about 20 hours (a week).
Russo would pick the brains of the mas-
ters divers he was competing with, as well
as researching online and watching video
clips on how to become a better diver.
Wright knows a lot about swimming and
water polo, but admits he has limited
knowledge about diving. He does know,
however, that Russo was on top of his game
at the state championships.
And even he did not have a lot of expecta-
tions for Russo this season.
Any time you have a kid walk on to a
spot (on any team), you go in with arms
wide open and hope for the best and hope to
score some points, Wright said. I dont
know what sport you take up [six] months
ago and nish third in the state.
Russo credits a lot of his diving success to
his gymnastics background. He has partici-
pated in the sport since he was a youngster
and currently coaches competitive gym-
nasts at Excel Gymnastics in Burlingame.
Ive been a gymnast for a lot of my life.
It was extraordinarily important (to my div-
ing success), Russo said. It was a pretty
easy transition. Doing the ips in the air
was pretty second nature to me.
What wasnt second nature was the entry
into the water. Russo wasnt used to per-
forming tricks in the air and going head rst
into water.
I was always trained to land feet rst,
Russo said. At rst, it was just nerve-
wracking (going head rst).
And then there was the jump off the board
the hurdle.
Everything in the air was natural, Russo
said. The hurdle the way you come off
the board mine was really inconsistent at
the beginning of the year. That was really,
really hard for me. It was all new. Diving
is a mental sport more than anything.
Now Russo has been bitten by the diving
bug. He wants to continue his career but is
mulling a decision to take a year off to train,
return to CSM or even transfer to a program
that is more focused on diving.
Wright will support whatever decision
Russo makes.
Ive always been about what is best for
the kid, Wright said. If CSM is not the
best choice for Travis, then he needs to go
where the best situation is for him.
Regardless of where he goes, Russo
knows diving is now a big part of his life.
I love the sport. Every night I would go
to bed thinking about the dives I would do,
Russo said. At states, [my performance]
came out of nowhere. I gave everything for
each dive. Everything came together for
that one day.
RUSSO
coach Todd Grammatico. If we play defense
the way we normally do (we win the game).
Half Moon Bays game-winning rally
started with two outs in the bottom of the
sixth inning. With Kallista Leonardos on
rst base, Ally Sarabia and Olivia Hedding
hit back-to-back singles to load the bases.
Morgan Jones hit a ball between the
Capuchino third baseman and shortstop,
with the ball glancing off the third-base-
mans glove, enabling Leonardos to score
from third to cut the Mustangs lead in half,
2-1. Francis followed and dumped a ball into
shallow left eld. Sarabia easily scored on
the play and Hedding was close behind.
Jones was thrown out at third for the nal
out of the inning, but Heddings run count-
ed.
Which was news to Francis.
I didnt know the second run scored,
Francis said. I was wondering why my
teammates were freaking out.
Rocha credited the Cougars 13-12 win
over Aragon on April 17 as the key to
Thursdays rally. Half Moon Bay trailed the
Dons 10-6 in the seventh inning, but scored
seven runs and then held on to beat Aragon.
They learned in that game against
Aragon (they can come back), Rocha said.
We said, Now we know we can do it. They
never stopped believing. I felt the rally
would happen. [We] wanted it.
Capuchino took a 1-0 lead in the top of
the fth when Allie Stines got a one-out
base hit. Karina Chavarria followed with a
slow chopper to third, but the Half Moon
Bay rst baseman couldnt nd the bag with
her foot. After initially being called out by
the base umpire, a conference with the
home-plate umpire concluded the rst base-
man did miss the bag and Chavarria was
ruled safe. ATaylor Brazil single loaded the
bases and Rebecca McKenna drove in Stines
with a groundout to second.
The Mustangs doubled their lead to 2-0 in
the top of the sixth. They loaded the bases
on a walk to Miki Solorzano, Rafaela Dade
reached on an error and Lili Luevano singled
to load the bases. After Solorzano was
erased at the plate on a forceout, Stines
came through with a single to right to drive
in Dade with the Mustangs second run of
the game.
It took a while for the Half Moon Bay
offense to get going after seeing their lead-
off hitter ejected in the top of the rst
inning. She was picked off second by Stines
after a bunt single and a stolen base, and in
the ensuing rundown, she tried to run
through the Capuchino second baseman try-
ing to get back to the bag. The umpires ruled
she used excessive force and was tossed.
Rocha admitted that knocked the Cougars
on their heels for a few innings.
That was denitely a blow, Rocha said.
Just what it does to the team. She was our
fastest runner.
In the end, however, Francis made sure the
Cougars went home happy.
As for Capuchino, Grammatico, despite
his teams 15-11 overall record, believes
his team will receive an at-large bid to CCS.
Traditionally, the fourth-place team in the
Bay Division gets a berth.
Im pretty condent were going to get
in, Grammatico said.
The CCS selection meeting is this week-
end in San Jose.

SANTA BARBARA American Taylor
Phinney raced to a 12-second victory Thursday
in 100-degree heat in the fth stage of the Tour
of California, and Britains Bradley Wiggins
retained the overall lead.
Phinney, riding for BMC, escaped from the
front group with 19 miles left and completed
the 107.4-mile stage from Pismo Beach to
Santa Barbara in 3 hours, 59 minutes, 33 sec-
onds for his seventh career pro win.
I wasnt sure it was the smartest move,
Phinney said. But I know I can go downhill
faster than anyone because I weigh more than
anyone. I hadnt planned to attack until maybe
4 or 5 kilometers to go, but I just went on
instinct. ... It got more painful, but I knew it
would be worth it. This is the way to win. Its
what we live for. Its what I live for.
The 23-year-old Phinney, 6-foot-5 and 180
pounds, is the son of Davis Phinney, who won
more than 300 pro races, and Connie
Carpenter Phinney, the 1984 Olympic road
race champion.
Wiggins, the Sky rider who won the 2012
Tour de France, took the race lead after win-
ning the stage 2 individual time trial. He n-
ished 22nd in the main eld in stage 5 to keep
a 28-second margin over Australias Rohan
Dennis of Garmin-Sharp.
Portugals Tiago Machado of NetApp-
Endura, was third overall 1:09 back.
Slovakias Peter Sagan of Cannondale was
second in the stage, and Australias Matthew
Goss of Orica GreenEdge was third in the
same time.
For the third straight day, the riders raced in
unseasonably warm weather.
Everyone felt the heat today, Wiggins said.
That was the hottest day Ive ever experienced
on my bike. It was like being in an oven all
day.
With his stage win secure, Phinney bowed as
he crossed the nish line and then thrust both
arms above his head. He began the stage in
54th place, trailing Wiggins by 19 1/2.
Phinney is now 52nd overall.
Phinney breaks away from pack to win fifth stage of TOC

No one can blame Gareth
Edwards for admittedly feeling
nervous when asked to helm a
remake of the biggest monster
movie of all time. Sure, the only
other lm he had directed hap-
pened to be 2010s Monsters.
But this time, it was Godzilla.
Well, the latest iteration of the
60-year-old franchise is in capa-
ble hands. Edwards Godzilla
is a pleasingly paced 3-D specta-
cle that pays chilling homage to
the artful legacy of the original
1954 film Ishiro Hondas
Gojira while emerging as
its own prodigious monster
movie.
Created as a symbol of the
nuclear threat following
Americas atomic attacks on
Japan in World War II,
Godzillas reappearance sug-
gests the nuclear tests conducted
by the U.S. in the Pacic after
the war were really meant to
hold the radioactive dinosaur
back.
This story begins in Japan in
1999 as nuclear physicist Joe
Brody (Bryan Cranston, edgy in
an unbearable wig) investigates
questionable seismic activity at
the Janjira nuclear power plant.
Godzilla upholds legacy
By Yuri Kageyama
TOKYO The big-screen
Godzilla that scared and thrilled
viewers in 1954 was an actor in
a rubber suit with a zipper up its
back. And many Japanese fans
still prefer that monster over a
Hollywood version made in ter-
rifying, full 3-D computer-
graphics glory.
American Godzilla is just a
giant iguana freaking out, says
Mudai Nozaki, 30, who believes
Godzilla is Japans greatest con-
tribution to cinematic history
next to Seven Samurai and
Kagemusha director Akira
Kurosawa.
His reaction is surprisingly
typical among Japanese who

WEEKEND JOURNAL
When a team at the plant, including his
scientist wife, Sandra (an underused Juliette
Binoche), dies in what everyone believes
is a natural disaster, Joe dedicates his life
to proving that what caused the devasta-
tion was anything but natural. His obses-
sion creates a rift between himself and his
son, Ford.
Fifteen years later, we catch up with Ford
(played by a placid but sexy Aaron Taylor-
Johnson) in San Francisco, where he lives
with his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and their
son.
Serving in the U.S. Navy, Ford disarms
bombs, a skill that later helps him save the
planet from MUTOs Massive
Unidentified Terrestrial Organism that
emerge from a long dormancy and begin
traveling the globe, feeding on radiation.
Screenwriter Max Borenstein, working
from a story by Dave Callaham, doesnt
bombard us with multiple narratives or a
multitude of characters (Ken Watanabe and
Sally Hawkins play scientists, and David
Strathairn plays an admiral).
Instead, the film focuses on Fords fami-
ly story, which Borenstein takes his time
developing. When we finally see Godzilla
just shy of an hour into the film the
anticipation has built to such a degree that
we expect to be awe-struck. And we are.
The tallest of any Godzillas before him,
this one stands 355 feet high about 30
stories with glistening, scaly skin and
dorsal fin spikes down his back. His terri-
fying yet textured roar shakes the theater.
Aiming for a realistic take on how we
might react to an invasion by giant crea-
tures, Edwards makes sure our view of them
rarely shifts from the human perspective.
Honoring the eerie music of the original,
this films score by Alexandre Desplat
(Argo) is equally menacing, rich with
horns that complement the consistently
serious tone of the movie.
In the original film, made using stop-
motion photography, an actor stomped
around a miniature Tokyo in a latex suit.
But in the hands of visual effects guru Jim
Rygiel (The Lord of the Rings fran-
chise), the contemporary take looks
incredibly fluid and Godzillas movements
appear far more natural.
But were not bombarded with excessive
CGI here. Godzilla isnt oversold,
although for some, his lack of screentime
wont be satisfying enough. However, the
balance between the family-focused story
line and intense action sequences is bound
to please others.
A threat to the planet in the 50s ver-
sion, Godzilla isnt out to take the world
down this time. Hes here to be its hero and
his massive showdown fiery radioactive
breath and all against the MUTOs is the
highlight. Hes more than a catastrophic
beast and were on his side when he swims
off into the sunset.
While the predictable sequel has not yet
been confirmed, one thing is clear:
Edwards version of Godzilla remains the
ultimate monster movie. The legacy has
been upheld.
Godzilla, a Warner Bros. release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for intense
sequences of destruction, mayhem and crea-
ture violence. Running time: 123 minutes.
Three stars out of four.
MPAA rating definition for PG-13:
Parents strongly cautioned. Some material
may be inappropriate for children under
13.
GODZILLA
He spews radioactive re, razes cities and
pummels creatures from Earth and beyond,
but even Godzilla needs a good lawyer some-
times. After all, you dont survive 60 years in
the movie business without taking some
ghts to court.
For decades, attorneys acting on behalf of
Godzillas owners, Tokyo-based Toho Co.
Ltd., have amassed a string of victories,
ghting counterfeiters and business titans
such as Comcast and Honda along the way.
The opponents have come from all corners
of pop culture: TV commercials, video
games, rap music and even the liquor indus-
try.
The litigation has kept Godzillas brand
thriving and helped pave the way for com-
mercial and merchandising tie-ins that will
accompany the monsters return to the big
screen on Friday after a 10 year hiatus.
Godzillas image is for sale, but permission
is needed.
Tohos attorneys use copyright and trade-
mark law as effectively as Godzilla uses his
tail and claws to topple buildings and swat
opponents. Their court injunctions have per-
manently whacked music, books and movies
from store shelves.
Since the mid-1980s, Chuck Shephard of
the Los Angeles law firm of Greenberg
Glusker has been Godzillas lead lawyer, l-
ing suits like the one against a wine called
Cabzilla that resulted in a winemaker being
forced to dump its stock of Cabernet
Sauvignon down the drain.
Godzilla is just as protected as Mickey
Mouse, said Shephard in a recent interview.
Tohos lucrative licensing efforts, which
include endorsements, toys, comic books,
video games and even ofcial wine and sake
brands, require the company to be vigilant
against copycats, he said.
Since 1991, Tohos attorneys have led at
least 32 copyright and trademark lawsuits
and countless warning letters, gaining court
injunctions in a quarter of the cases. Most
others have resulted in settlement agree-
ments that while condential, result in prod-
ucts disappearing from the marketplace.
Since the late 1990s, Shephard has worked
Toho cases with attorney Aaron Moss,
whose high-end Century City ofce is clut-
tered with a mix of legal lings and ofcial
and unofcial Godzilla merchandise.
Some of the spoils of court victories
include a now out-of-circulation copy of rap-
per Pharoahe Monchs 1999 album that
improperly used Godzillas theme music and
a two-foot-tall dog toy called Tuffzilla.
Toho is not out there to extract a pound of
esh, Moss said. They need to protect
their brand.
Both attorneys said they carefully evaluate
when to le lawsuits, and Toho trusts their
judgment. Litigation often starts with a
cease-and-desist letter, and a companys reac-
tion to it often determines whether the case
escalates, they said.
When you have something as famous as
Barbie or as Godzilla, youre well-served to
protect that, said Larry Iser, a partner at the
Santa Monica, California-based firm
Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldisert.
Iser represents toy maker Mattel and noted
that trademarks for some popular products
such as the trampoline and escalator have
fallen into the public domain, making them
easier and cheaper for companies to copy.
But Godzillas trademarks could last forev-
er if theyre properly handled, Iser said.
Godzilla debuted in Japan in the 1954 hit
lm Gojira but has proven to be just as
popular in the United States. Thats made
him an attractive spokesmonster.

WEEKENED JOURNAL 19
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Leaving her post after 16 years, Hillbarn
Theatre artistic director Lee Foster is making
The Color Purple her swan song.
Its an ambitious undertaking with a 23-
member, mostly black cast telling a story
that spans nearly 40 years (1909 to 1945) in
the life of a black woman in the South.
That woman, Celie (Leslie Ivy), is rst seen
as a 14-year-old impregnated for the second
time by Pa (Andy Serrano). After the baby is
born, Pa says hell get rid of it, just as he did
the other child, much to Celies distress.
Aneighboring farmer Mister (Anthone D.
Jackson), calls on Pa hoping to marry Celies
beloved younger sister, Nettie (Jacqueline
Dennis), but winds up with Celie instead.
After staving off advances by both Pa and
Mister, Nettie leaves, again to Celies dis-
tress. Celies life with Mister is just as miser-
able as it was with Pa. Shes a mere servant
who he mistreats and abuses. However, her
fortunes begin to change when Shug Avery
(Dawn L. Troupe), a popular singer and
Misters longtime lover, moves in with them
and sings at the juke joint owned by his son
Harpo (Brian M. Landry).
Eventually Celie breaks away from Mister,
learns about real love thanks to Shug, gains
self-respect and becomes a successful busi-
ness woman, rst in Memphis and then back
in her hometown of Eatonton, Georgia.
The story unfolds episodically, but the set
by Kuo-Hao Lo (lighting by Don Coluzzi)
accommodates quick scene changes.
Costumes by Margaret Toomey help to dene
changing times. The other major character is
Harpos strong-willed wife, Soa (Jihan
Sabir), who refuses to be subservient to any-
one, a costly trait.
Three Church Ladies, played by Ladidi
Garba, Debra Harvey and Pam Drummer-
Williams, serve as a Greek chorus, comment-
ing on the action. Other performers play a
variety of characters.
The performance level is high by every-
one, especially the principals.
Choreography by Jayne Zaban is outstand-
ing, especially in the juke joint scene, Push
Da Button.
The singing is generally quite good under
the leadership of musical director Greg
Sudmeier, who is Fosters husband and who
also is leaving the company. Much of the
accompaniment is recorded.
However, the lyrics are often difcult to
follow because of diction and the Southern
black dialect. Compounding the problem is
Alan Changs sound design, which is so loud
it distorts the lyrics.
The Color Purple began life as a 1982
novel by Alice Walker. From there it became
the 1985 lm that helped launch the career of
Oprah Winfrey, who played Soa. She subse-
quently became one of the producers bringing
the story to the Broadway musical stage in
2005. The national tour came to San
Francisco in 2007.
Marsha Norman adapted the musical from
Walkers book. The music and lyrics by
Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen
Bray encompass several styles such as
gospel, blues, honky-tonk and ragtime.
The two-act production at Hillbarn clocks
in at nearly three hours, in part due to long
restroom lines at intermission but in larger
part due to the show itself.
Despite the many years that it covers,
some scenes seem expendable, especially in
the second act. It opens with two long scenes
from Africa, where Nettie has become a mis-
sionary. Only the rst scene, which has some
terric dancing, works well.
Another expendable scene is Is There
Anything I Can Do for You? a duet for Harpo
and Soa. Its well done but doesnt advance
the story, especially since the adaptation is a
bit short on developing some characters and
clarifying some plot details.
Despite shortcomings in the show itself,
this production serves it well, thanks in large
part to a talented, energetic, committed cast
and Fosters astute direction.

have seen the trailer of the lm, titled simply
Godzilla, which premieres May 16 in the
U.S. and in July in Japan. They wonder if the
Warner Bros. remake will be a tribute or an
embarrassment for Japans monstrous lega-
cy.
Japanese Godzilla-lovers say their iconic
hero falls into a special phantasmal category
called kaiju, which have more imaginary,
far-fetched traits than what they see as more
mundane monsters like King Kong or
Frankenstein.
And the Hollywood version is no kaiju,
said Kazuya Haraguchi, who collects
Godzilla goods, including a 100,000 yen
($1,000) complete DVD collection from
Toho Studios, which came with a huge fangs-
baring Godzilla head.
The 45-year-old technician for reel lms
says Hollywood already botched it once with
a 1998 remake, directed by Roland
Emmerich.
And almost everything about the new
Godzilla is wrong again, from head to toe
- how its arms are limp at its sides, how
the scales on its back are too regular, even
the shape of its head.
The head is too small, said Haraguchi.
The voice is all wrong. It has to be much
higher.
He shrugs off the creature in the new lm as
depicting what he pronounced as Gadzilla,
imitating an American accent - instead of
Gojira, (Go-jeeh-ruh), the way Japanese
say it, a word that combines gorilla and
kujira, or whale.
I hope the day will come when a Japanese
director can make a Godzilla movie again for
the world, he said.
In the original story, Godzilla emerged
from the Pacic Ocean, a mutation awakened
by nuclear-weapons testing on the Bikini
Atoll, underlining Japans emotional trauma
from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki at the end of World War II.
The story from Hollywood departs a bit
from that script by having Godzilla stomp-
ing into San Francisco, instead of Tokyo,
and confronting a ying monster thats not
in the original. But the lm stays true to the
spirit of the original in many ways.
All director Gareth Edwards says he has
done is produce an improved, more realistic
Godzilla.
In our lm, for the rst time, we will real-
ly see the actual animal again, he told the
Associated Press.
I think if you went around the world, and
showed the silhouette of Godzilla, hed prob-
ably be the most recognized character from
movie history, he said. Yet, as an adult, its
hard to point at a lm where that truly did him
justice. Especially with the digital tools we
have available today.
Edwards says he grew up watching Godzilla
lms and has great respect for their deeper
meaning, such as raising questions about
nuclear weapons. But for many Japanese, the
updated, more technologically advanced ver-
sion of their hero isnt quite right.
Yumiko Yamashita, 40, a welfare worker,
thinks Godzilla must be lovable - kawaii,
or cute, is the way she describes it.
She is proud it is drawing overseas respect
but scoffed at U.S. depictions: They make it
too ashy. It becomes too American.
Minami Ichikawa, a Toho Co. director,
acknowledged Japanese fans have been wait-
ing for Godzillas comeback because Toho
hasnt made a Godzilla lm for 10 years, after
making 28 in the series.
One reason for his absence was that
Toho felt the days were over for the old-
style special effects, invented by the leg-
endary Eiji Tsuburaya, centering on minia-
ture cityscape models trampled by an
actor. The next Godzilla film out of Japan,
if there is one, will rely on Hollywood-
style computer graphics, he added.
Godzilla is an actor we rented to
Hollywood, Ichikawa said, while declining
to disclose terms. The times are changing.
Haruo Nakajima says a true Godzilla must
be a gure of pathos as it destroys buildings
and bridges in its path.
He should know. He was the rst Godzilla.
Nakajima, 85, was a stunt actor in samurai
lms when he was approached to take the
Godzilla role. He had to invent the character
from scratch, and went to the zoo to study the
way elephants and bears moved.
The suit was so hot, especially under the
glaring lights on set, the sweat he wrung
from the shirt off his back would ll half a
bucket, he recalled.
I am the original, the real thing, he said,
stressing that later Godzilla are mere imita-
tions. If Godzilla cant walk properly, its
nothing but a freak show.
The theme of his Godzilla was grander and
more complex, addressing universal human
problems, as it spoke to a Japan that still
remembered wartime suffering, he said.
Its not some cowboy movie, Nakajima
said proudly, sitting among sepia-toned pho-
tos of him as a young man and Godzilla g-
ures in his apartment.
Everyone asks me to play Godzilla
again, he said. My Godzilla was the best.
JAPAN
Hes appeared in ads for Snickers candy
bars, Nike shoes, Doritos chips, as well as
in marketing for the original Simcity
computer game, Honda minivans, and
Subways Five Dollar Footlong specials.
Yet those last three uses werent properly
licensed and prompted Toho to sue.
Godzilla appearance in the 1991 Rose
Parade sparked Tohos rst court ght with
Honda. Decked out in a tuxedo and top hat,
American Hondas oat was engineered to
make it look like Godzilla was traipsing
down the street.
The next day, Toho called Shephard.
Godzillas image hadnt been licensed for
the oat, and the ensuing lawsuit lasted more
than a year before Godzilla nally prevailed.
Honda denied that their float depicted
Godzilla, despite advertisements and a
memo about the oat describing the creature
by name.
It was one of many cases that featured what
Moss calls the dinosaur defense.
Defendants sometimes claim their prod-
ucts arent Godzilla, but simply dinosaurs.
Its a dubious argument, Moss said, because
the products often feature a spiky spine sim-
ilar to Godzillas, or depict the creature in a
cityscape. Godzilla may munch on cities,
but dinosaurs didnt .
It just doesnt work, Moss said. Why
does it breathe re and stomp on cities?
Godzilla has suffered one notable loss. In
1981 before Shephards firm was
involved a federal appeals court dismissed
a lawsuit by Toho against Sears Roebuck &
Co. led over a line of trash bags the retail-
er had named Bagzilla. The bags use of a
Godzilla-esque creature represented a
humorous caricature and not a serious
threat to Tohos business interests, the court
ruled.

MENLO SCHOOL MOCK TRIAL
TEAM VICTORY HONORED ON LAW
DAY. Menlo Schools Mock Trial Team
members beamed as they were honored at
the May 1 Law Day Luncheon for winning
the 2014 California State Mock Trial
Championship and the 30th Annual San
Mateo County Competition. On its way to
the California championship, Menlo
defeated three-time defending state cham-
pion LaReina High School from Ventura
County and other teams that had, collec-
tively, won six of the last seven state
championships. Aweek after the Law Day
luncheon, the Menlo Mock Trial Team
went for the first time ever to Mock Trial
Nationals, held May 8-10 in Madison,
Wisconsin, ending up in fourth place,
with a 3-1 record that included wins over
Massachusetts, Arkansas and Connecticut.
Menlos Mackenzie Bressie (15) also won
an award for best witness portrayal.
In 1980, the Constitutional Rights
Foundation (CRF) created the mock trial
program to help students acquire a work-
ing knowledge of the judicial system,
develop analytical abilities and communi-
cation skills and gain an understanding of
their obligations and responsibilities as
participating members of society.
Each year, CRF creates and produces a
new set of mock trial materials based on an
important issue facing Americas youth.
The materials include a hypothetical crim-
inal case (including summaries of case law,
witness statements, official exhibits and
simplified rules of evidence); lesson plans
on the central issues in the case; and com-
petition rules and guidelines.
With the assistance of teacher-sponsors
and attorney coaches, CRFs Mock Trial
program engages more than 8,000 stu-
dent-participants across the state of
California. Students actively experience
the excitement of working in teams,
exchanging ideas, setting goals and exam-
ining issues, while interacting with posi-
tive role models from their communities.
By studying the case and preparing strate-
gies and arguments for trial, students also
develop presentation skills, analytic abil-
ity and team cooperation.
County competition occurs in late fall or
early spring, with anywhere from two to
six rounds of trials. The winners of the
county competitions go on to the state
finals in March. In May, the winner of the
state competition represents California at
the annual National High School Mock
Trial Competition, involving teams from
54 states and territories.
Each year thousands of members from
Californias bar and bench volunteer their
time to make the mock trial an educational
and exciting experience for students.
Attorneys serve in a variety of roles, act-
ing as team coaches, scoring and presid-
ing over trials.
Menlo School Mock Trial Team Faculty
Sponsor and history teacher Dan Devitt
said: The students and coaches all worked
incredibly hard to prepare for and compete
in one of the most competitive mock trial
events of the year. As faculty sponsor, I
am incredibly proud of this years team,
especially our senior attorneys (Kathryn
Hurd, Christina Wadsworth and Kate Park)
that led us to our first ever state champi-
onship and trip to Madison, Wisconsin,
for Nationals. Devitt has served as the
faculty sponsor for the Menlo School
team for 13 years. Volunteer coaches were
Chris Lagod, head coach; Fred Herold, pre-
trial coach; Abby Horrigan, coach; Thom
Scher, coach; David Larson, coach; Susan
Hoerger, JV coach; Carmella Huser, JV
coach; and Dana Kleiman, JV coach.
San Mateo County Law Day sponsors
included the Constitutional Rights
Foundation, the San Mateo County Bar
Association, the San Mateo County Office
of Education and the San Mateo County
Trial Lawyers Association. Keynote
speaker for the Law Day Luncheon was
Associate Justice Miguel Mrquez of the
California Court of Appeal for the Sixth
District.

bilizing and strengthening Californias
nances, said Assemblyman John Perez,
D-Los Angeles, who negotiated the deal
before stepping down as speaker this week.
It represents a commitment to break the
bad habits of the past.
The version that passed during a special
legislative session Thursday, known as
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1,
will create a reserve funded primarily from
excess capital gains revenue during boom
years as well as an annual contribution equal
to 1.5 percent of the states general fund.
The set yearly contribution was a provision
pushed by Republican lawmakers.
I think it demonstrates to the people of
California that when you have a robust
bipartisan discussion, you can make things
better because we all bring something to the
table... said Senate Minority Leader Bob
Huff, R-Diamond Bar. To that end, we want-
ed to make sure that its truly a rainy-day
fund, and not an everyday fund.
If voters approve ACA1 in November,
half the money in the fund will be dedicated
to paying down Californias long-term
debts and liabilities for the next 15 years.
The Legislative Analysts Ofce has esti-
mated those liabilities at $340 billion,
mostly for public employee pension obli-
gations and retiree health care costs.
The states existing rainy-day fund dates
back a decade. It was rst approved by vot-
ers in 2004 but was quickly drained and not
relled. The Legislature last contributed to
it in 2007.
Former Republican Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger negotiated a revised rainy-
day fund that was preferred by GOP lawmak-
ers during a 2010 budget crisis, but it was
delayed in going before voters two years
ago. That version required a 3 percent annu-
al contribution from the states general
fund.
The one now going before voters reduces
the annual contribution to 1.5 percent but
also requires it to be supplemented with cap-
ital gains tax revenue that soars when the
economy and stock market take off. The
rainy-day fund can grow to a maximum of 10
percent of the states general fund, which is
expected to be nearly $108 billion in the
next scal year.
Brown also wanted more exibility in
withdrawing from the fund. He said the earli-
er version negotiated under Schwarzenegger
was too difcult to tap in case of emergen-
cies, disasters or recessions.
Lawmakers from both parties said there
were enough safeguards in place to ensure
that the Legislature could not draw from the
fund at will. In addition, transfers to the
fund could be suspended and additional with-
drawals could be made during a recession,
but only within certain limits.
While you may not believe it to be per-
fect, it is signicantly stronger than exist-
ing law, Assembly Republican leader
Connie Conway told members of her party
before the vote.
MEASURE
teers since Karen Li, wellness coordinator
for the Sequoia Union High School District,
talked to Violet about adding in more high
school volunteers. Students from Carlmont
High Schools Students Offering Support
(SOS) program, the Sequoia High School
Health Career Academy and Woodside High
School assisted at the stations.
Theyve (the high school students) been
learning the challenges of working with
kids, said Shelley Bustamante, coordinator
of Carlmonts SOS. They have to make sure
theyre projecting the right kind of mes-
sage. The kids look at them like theyre
celebrities.
The high school volunteers said the expe-
rience was positive for them and helped
them gain leadership skills.
I like seeing the kids hesitant in the
beginning, then them not wanting to
leave, said volunteer and Carlmont junior
Thomas Gifford.
Another volunteer, Sequoia sophomore
Frances Villatuya, said she enjoys teaching
the fourth-graders what its like to be
healthy. Woodside senior Megan Healy said
she gained a lot of energy from the kids.
Its a good opportunity to teach them
how to live a healthy lifestyle and go out
and do it on their own, Healy said.
The San Mateo County Tobacco Education
Coalition; Sodexo Education; the city of
Redwood City Parks, Recreation and
Community Services departments;
University of California Cooperative
Extension; Safe Routes to School
California; Redwood City 2020; and the
Redwood City School District Wellness
Committee also took part in the event.

1. DOESNT CALIFORNIA
ALREADY HAVE A RAINY-DAY RESERVE?
Yes.Voters established a rainy-day fund in 2004,which is
supposed to be lled annually with 3 percent of general
fund revenue.But it has been criticized for having loose
rules governing when lawmakers can tap it and when
they must replenish it.It has not received a contribution
since 2007.
2.WHAT DOES THE
MEASURE PASSED THURSDAY DO?
The bipartisan measure overwhelmingly approved
Thursday by the Legislature replaces a rainy-day fund
measure that already was on the November ballot.It will
be known as Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1.
During a budget crisis in 2010, under then-Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, lawmakers negotiated a x to the ex-
isting rainy-day fund and placed it on the 2012 ballot.It
was then delayed until this November.Last month,Gov.
Jerry Brown called on lawmakers to change that version,
saying it was too rigid and made the fund difcult to tap
in times of natural disasters,emergencies and recessions.
3. HOWWILL THE NEWVERSION WORK?
Instead of requiring an annual contribution equal to 3
percent of state general fund revenue, the new version
will require an annual contribution equal to just 1.5 per-
cent.But additional money would ow in from increases
in capital gains tax revenue during boom years,until the
fund reached a level equal to 10 percent of the general
fund. The existing voter-approved rainy-day fund sets
the maximum at 5 percent of general fund revenue.
4. HOWWILL THE RAINY-DAY FUND BE SPENT?
The deal requires the state to use half the money to
pay down debts and liabilities for 15 years, with the
other half available for disasters and budget crises.Cal-
ifornias total debts and liabilities have been pegged at
$340 billion, most of which are for unfunded public
employee pensions and retiree health care.
5. WHY DID DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS AGREE?
Republicans got to keep a minimum annual contribu-
tion to the fund and tightened the denition of debt to
exclude voter-approved bonds such as those dedicated
to the high-speed rail project. Democrats won greater
exibility to use the rainy-day fund as a way to reduce
the severity of budget cuts during economic down-
turns.

on where he might propose that eld to be.
The district originally proposed swap-
ping its parcel near Tierra Linda Middle
School for the city land near North
Crestview. But the land value is unequal,
Crestview neighbors have come out in
strong opposition and the city said it does-
nt have the millions of dollars needed to
turn the Tierra Linda land into a full park
with athletic elds.
Without the ability to do anything with
the land, Collins said the city is no better
off in terms of eld space and only the char-
ter school students ended up with anything
different than the current circumstances.
Wed be trading a piece of land we dont
use for a piece of land we cant use, he said.
The school is pushing for a decision
quickly because it is under a time crunch to
use 2012 bond money and the city would
need to ask voters to rezone the Crestview
land as something other than park space to
do anything new with it. The council has
until August to get the rezoning measure on
the ballot and will vote at its next meeting
but needs four members on board.
The bigger question is if voters agree to
open up the possibility of a new use what
exactly that will be hence last Mondays
leaning toward a sale and the upcoming
meeting to continue looking at alterna-
tives.
Collins and Olbert said city staff was
directed to focus on a sale because out of the
three possibilities sell, swap or lease
the rst was the only one that nabbed a
majority of three councilmember votes.
Olbert feels the city would be remiss to
sell its land because even if development
money isnt available now that doesnt pre-
clude the future.
At least we would have control over some
property and that is a big component, not
having to buy land somewhere for elds, he
said.
Olbert said some suggested that if the dis-
trict had to raise money through a bond to
purchase the land it is like taxpayers bor-
rowing money to pay themselves.
Its sort of a back end way of getting
money raised by the school district for the
city, he said.
The City Council meets in closed session
2 p.m. Monday, May 19 at City Hall, 600

the district prefer a K-8 conguration. In the
2011-12 school year, a Grade
Conguration, Enrollment and Schools of
Choice Committee comprised of parents,
staff and community members formed to
analyze and recommend potential changes
to deal with a number of issues at that time,
including demand for the four schools of
choice without neighborhood boundaries
Adelante Elementary, McKinley Institute of
Technology (MIT), North Star Academy and
Orion Alternative School exceeds the
number of seats available, according to a
staff report.
Ive personally been hearing from par-
ents and staff whove wanted it to go to K-
8, said Trustee Alisa MacAvoy. Im all for
it.
Trustee Shelly Masur agreed the change is
the right thing to do.
The committees report made the follow-
ing points about the reasons for consider-
ing a K-8 conguration for Taft Hoover
and Gareld offered the only middle school
option east of El Camino Real at that time.
Now, Connect Charter School is offering
some middle school seats. Demographic
data showed that a large number of middle
school students who live east of El Camino
Real travel across town to attend Kennedy or
MIT 143 sixth- through eighth-graders
who lived in the Taft boundary in 2012
attended Kennedy and 70 attended MIT. In
addition, 124 Fair Oaks students attended
Kennedy and 52 Hoover students attended
Kennedy, according to the report.
Since that time, Taft Principal Robyn
Miller has been working with Taft parents to
assess the interest in this change.
According to the school, families have
requested this for years and a recent survey
shows very strong support for the change.
Research has shown that students lose less
ground educationally when they do not
move schools, according to the report.
Im condent families in our school want
this and its the direction we should be
going, Miller said.
Still, adding a sixth-grade to Taft will
result in the loss of two teaching positions
at Kennedy in the 2014-15 school year.

WORLD 31
By Desmond Butler
and Suzan Fraser
SOMA, Turkey With photos
of their loved ones pinned to their
chests and chanting the names of
lost miners, grieving relatives
laid their dead to rest in mass buri-
als Thursday, as gravediggers
labored to make room for scores
more victims of Turkeys worst
mining disaster.
The love of my life is gone,
women wailed loudly, swaying and
singing improvised laments about
the departed as bodies were low-
ered, one by one, into the freshly
dug graves.
Rescue teams recovered another
nine victims, raising the death
toll to 283 from Tuesdays disas-
ter, with at least 140 miners
believed still trapped underground,
according to government gures.
Rage blended with grief as revul-
sion over poor safety conditions
and what some perceived as gov-
ernment indifference set off
protests across Turkey. Its not an
accident, its murder, read a ban-
ner waved by trade unionists who
marched through the streets of
Istanbul.
The disaster has stirred up new
hostility toward Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogans govern-
ment and thrown his presidential
ambitions off stride. Blackening
his reputation further, Turkish
newspapers published a photo-
graph Thursday of one of
Erdogans aides kicking a protest-
er who was being held on the
ground by armed police.
At a graveyard in the mining
town of Soma, where coal has been
the main industry for decades,
mourners said they spent their
whole lives fearing a disaster like
Tuesdays, in which an explosion
set off a deadly re just as workers
were preparing for a shift change,
trapping hundreds underground.
No miner has been brought out
alive since before dawn
Wednesday.
The wives of the miners kiss
their husbands in the morning.
When they come back, even if
they are ve minutes late, every-
one starts calling, said 45-year-
old Gulizar Donmez, whose hus-
band and father are both miners
and whose neighbor was among
the victims. You never know
what is going to happen.
Energy Minister Taner Yildiz
said the search for survivors was
being hampered by a re that had
spread to a conveyor system -
engulng a 650-foot (200-meter)
stretch of tunnel - but progress was
made Thursday toward extinguish-
ing it. Rescue operations have
been suspended several times as
re created toxic fumes and too-
risky conditions for rescuers.
Emergency crews detected a drop
in carbon monoxide levels which
means that the fire has gotten
smaller, Yildez said.
Erdogan, who is expected to
announce his candidacy soon for
Turkeys presidential election in
August, was greeted by angry
protests during a visit to Soma on
Wednesday after he referred to min-
ing accidents as ordinary things
that happen all the time.
Grief and rage as Turkey
buries mine disaster dead
By Bassem Mroue
and Suzan Fraser
BEIRUT A massive car bomb
ripped through a crowded garage
Thursday near a rebel-held border
crossing between Syria and Turkey,
killing at least 43 people in an area
that has seen fierce fighting
between rival rebel groups, an anti-
government activist group said.
The attack came as President
Bashar Assads forces have seized
the momentum of the countrys 3-
year-old civil war ahead of presi-
dential elections scheduled for June
3.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said
the blast killed 43 people and
wounded more than 80. Injured
Syrians taken to hospitals in
Turkey and later died are among the
43 killed, said Rami Abdurrahman,
the head of the Observatory. The
group relies on a network of
activists on the ground.
The Local Coordination
Committees, another activist
group, also reported the car bomb-
ing but said only that it killed and
wounded dozens of people.
Car bombings have become com-
mon in Syria as the inuence of
Islamic extremist groups has risen,
dampening the support of the U.S.
and its European allies for the
opposition seeking to oust Assad.
Opposition activists have blamed
al-Qaida-linked ghters, who are
engaged in deadly ghting between
rival rebel factions in Syria,
although no group claimed respon-
sibility for Thursdays blast.
