Responding to pressure from fellow Democrats seeking to close the income gap, Gov. Jerry Brown proposed a
record $115.3 billion California spending plan that will send more money to public schools, freeze in-state
undergraduate tuition and establish a new state tax credit for the working poor.
EDUCATION:
At $50 billion, K-12 public schools are the biggest
beneficiaries of the states general fund and will
reap the lions share of a newly projected surplus.
School districts will get $5.5 billion of a $6.7 billion
spike in tax collections, amounting to about $3,000
more per student compared to four years ago,
after schools were cut during the recession.
A formula adopted last year sends more of that
money to schools with the most low-income and
English-learning students.
For the first time since the recession, California will
pay schools what theyre owed on time, allowing
them to avoid expensive borrowing.
HIGHER EDUCATION:
Community colleges, the University of California
and California State University would get nearly
$17 billion.
UC leaders had threatened to raise tuition unless
the system received another $100 million a year.
The governor didnt grant that extra money but is
offering a one-time $436 million injection to UCs

Following the money

cash-strapped pension fund over three years.
In exchange, many in-state students will have their
tuition frozen for two years. Out-of-state students
and students pursuing professional degrees still
face increased costs.
HEALTH CARE:
The budget sends nearly $32 billion to health care
programs. That includes $18 billion for the $91
billion joint federal-state Medi-Cal program, which
is projected to cover 12.4 million people nearly
one in three Californians for doctor visits,
hospital care, pregnancy-related services, and
some nursing home care.
Brown also wants to add $62 million to begin
enrolling low-income immigrants in Californias
version of Medicaid on the assumption that
President Barack Obama will prevail in a court
battle over his health care overhaul.

Doctors and hospitals seeking higher payments

involving Medi-Cal patients were turned down
by the governor, who says its not clear that higher
rates would make more doctors available.
PRISONS:
Brown is proposing $10 billion for prisons and
rehabilitation programs. He wants to bring home
4,000 of the roughly 8,100 inmates housed in
private prisons in Arizona, Mississippi and
Oklahoma. The move would save the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation $73
million next year. The state is budgeting $112
million this year and next to treat inmates using
expensive new Hepatitis C medication.
The budget does not include shuttering the
decaying California Rehabilitation Center in Norco,
despite pleas from inmate rights groups and a
state senator. The administration says it will

enough to help Californias poor
by proposing a $380 million

DROUGHT:
Brown has heeded calls to speed spending on
water in the fourth year of a crippling drought.
Hes proposing to spend nearly a quarter of the
$7.5 billion contained in a voter-approved water
bond over the next three years. It would pay local
water districts to clean up contaminated
groundwater basins and to develop technology
to reuse water thats flushed down toilets and
storm drains.The budget doesnt include funding
to store water, which by law does not require
legislative approval.
Another $175 million goes to city and farm
conservation programs such as swapping thirsty
lawns for drought-tolerant shrubs in poor
communities and paying farmers to install slowtrickling valves instead of sprinklers.
Legislation accompanying the budget also fulfils
Browns promise to increase local water agencies
power to enforce water restrictions.

LOS ANGELES A father was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder for tossing his 4-year-old daughter

Cameron Brown showed no emotion

Two previous juries deadlocked over
whether Brown was guilty of murder or

child support and custody, prosecutors
said.

Courts: Budget restoration minimal

Naked and afraid

SAN MATEO

Friday May 15, 2015

Gov. Jerry Browns budget revision

includes total funding of about $2.8
billion for the states trial courts, a
modest increase over last year but not
nearly enough to restore all the jobs
and services lost during the recession,
said John Fitton, San Mateo Countys
court executive officer.
Since 2008, funding for trial courts
in the state has decreased nearly $1.1
billion causing the San Mateo County
Superior Court to slash 130 jobs, nearly a third of its workforce, Fitton said.
The short answer is that its getting
better but to date less than 20 percent
of the cuts have been restored. The
restoration is minimal to trial courts,
Fitton said.
Those cuts were historical and
unprecedented and have hurt the middle class and low-wage earners who do
not have the resources to hire an attorney to navigate the court system like
their richer counterparts, Fitton said.

Unfunded justice is a profound

injustice for all Californians, especially those most vulnerable, Fitton said
Thursday.
Working with less money means
some cases are given priority over
others.
Every day, Presiding Judge Jack
Grandsaert makes decisions on what
cases are the most essential, Fitton
said.
We do not have the resources to hear
everything, he said.
Smaller cases are taking much
longer to complete, he said.
San Mateo County Superior Court
has restored 12 of the lost 130 positions, he said.
We have been restoring some services incrementally but I cant pretend
to say we are anywhere near where we
were in 2008, he said.
In the governors budget summary in
January, Brown wrote that the states
Judicial Branch needs to operate differently without the expectation of
funding restorations.

Browns budget includes $180 million in proposed new funding for fiscal
year 2015-16.
Trial courts are funded through a
combination of the states General
Fund and fees the courts generate.
The total budget for the states
Judicial Branch, which consists of the
Supreme Court, courts of appeal, trial
courts and the Judicial Council, is
about $3.8 billion.
I am pleased to see that the governors May budget revision adheres
closely to his January proposal, which
brought an incremental increase for
trial court operations. This will be the
third year of new investment by the
governor to help stabilize funding for
the judicial branch. New investment
and stabilized funding are the building
blocks for court innovations and efficiencies, state Supreme Court Chief
Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye wrote
in a statement.

Millbrae superintendent resigning after five years

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After five years of serving as head of the

Millbrae Elementary School District,
Superintendent Linda Luna announced she
will be resigning after the end of the school
year.
Luna will accept a job as superintendent of
the Washington Unified School District in
Sacramento, after leaving Millbrae.
The education veteran with more than 30
years of experience under her belt said she
wants to relocate to be closer to her children,
who live in Sacramento.
Luna said she looks forward to the new
challenges afforded to her through joining a
larger, unified school district.
Im really excited about this great opportunity, she said.
Luna, who replaced previous superintendent Shirley Martin in 2010, came to the district after serving as an assistant superintendent in her native Stockton. She also worked
as a music teacher, program specialist, literary coach, assistant principal and principal
on her way to taking control of the Millbrae
district.
Some of Lunas greatest successes during

her time in Millbrae, she

said, are that all Millbrae
schools received recognition
as
California
Distinguished Schools,
are successfully transitioning into Common
Core programming, are
offering greater student
access to technology and
Linda Luna
are having their facilities
upgraded.
Luna said her greatest achievement was successfully guiding the district through the
tough economic times brought forth by the
Great Recession, and afterwards being able to
reinstate many of the programs and personnel cuts the district suffered during the belttightening years.
When I first came, it was such a very difficult time in the state for public schools, at the
height of the economic downturn, she said.
Weve been able to recover and restore what
we lost during those years.
She credited the district collaborating with
parent groups and the Millbrae Education
Foundation to bring programs such as music
from the chopping block back into the classroom.
But her time at Millbrae was not without its

tumultuous periods.
Contract negotiations with district teachers have been contentious over recent years,
culminating with the executive members of
the Millbrae Education Association voting to
declare no confidence in Luna due to dissatisfaction with her job performance last year.
The relationship has mended some more
recently as teachers arrived at a tentative contract agreement last month, which would
offer educators a 4 percent raise retroactive to
July 1 of last year. The deal also includes
increased contribution to the health and benefits plan for teachers.
The two sides announced in January they
had arrived at an impasse in negotiations, and
agreed to enter contract mediation talks,
stemming from a disagreement over how
much teacher pay should be raised.
Following mediation, the union had been
prepared to enter fact-finding, which typically indicates the conflicting sides believe
negotiations are no longer occurring in good
faith.
Luna said in the past few years, the district
has been able to increase pay for teachers by
12 percent, which restores them to a level
near where they were prior to the Great
Recession.
One hurdle the district was never able to

clear under Luna, which the outgoing superintendent wishes she had attained for the district
going forward, is to pass a parcel tax.
That is one thing that I would have liked
to have been able to leave behind on behalf
of the kids, she said. I hope the next superintendent is able to get something in place ...
because our kids need it, and deserve that kind
of education.
Luna is the most recent administrator to
join a revolving door of superintendents
leaving local districts.
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary and
South San Francisco Unified school districts
are also currently hunting for a new top official.
Most recently Kevin Skelly was hired by
the San Mateo Union High School District,
following John Baker being promoted within the Redwood City Elementary School
District and Cheryl Olson being named to
superintendent of San Bruno Park Elementary
School District.
Millbrae Elementary School District has
hired the Cosca Group to lead its search for
Lunas replacement. A series of meetings will
begin next week to collect community feedback on what type of leadership qualities are
most important in finding a new superintendent.

Hometown Days celebrates 35 years: This years event in honor of Linda Teutschel
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The family-friendly Hometown Days

returns to San Carlos this weekend starting
with a concert featuring students from Tierra
Linda and Central middle schools and the
Brittan Acres Elementary School Glee Club.
Hometown Days is celebrating its 35th
anniversary with this years three-day event
dedicated to Linda Teutschel, the longtime
volunteer who has run the festival for the past
15 years and was instrumental in helping to
establish the San Carlos Education
Foundation which is hosting Friday nights

Kids Concert for the

11th straight year at
Burton Park.
Teutschel is passing the
torch to the next generation of volunteers, said
her
daughter
Laura
Teutschel, who also volunteers to put together the
festival and parade held
Linda Teutschel Saturday.
Shes a grandmother
now and would like to have time for herself,
Laura Teutschel said. Both, however, will
continue to donate their time to support the
event for years to come.
Her commitment level is
pretty
intense,
Laura
Teutschel said.
The event has grown over
the years to attract about
12,000 visitors to downtown

San Carlos and weathered the economic

downturn, when the city was suffering
through lean budgets in 2009 and 2010.
The public has always been under the
impression it is city or chamber event, it is
neither, Laura said. Hometown Days is a
nonprofit endeavor that is supported with
city resources and tax-deductible donations.
The annual parade held on Saturdays is
Lindas favorite event, her daughter said.
This year, state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, and Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, DSouth San Francisco, will participate in the
parade. The Woodside High School marching
band, the Carlmont High School Drum Corps,
Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts and the Eaton Hills
4-H Club will all march in the parade.
Also on hand will be Disney star
Genevieve Goings, who grew up in San
Carlos.
Growing up, Goings participated in the San
Carlos Childrens Theater and was the mascot

for Central Middle School.

Now she lives in Southern California and is
the host of the Disney Junior music video
show Choo Choo Soul.
San Carlos Hometown Days remains a
vibrant, community-based event due to the
efforts of Linda Teutschel, City Manager Jeff
Maltbie wrote in a statement. Her 15 years
of dedication and collaborative efforts with
city staff and various volunteer groups has
ensured the events success. The city is proud
to support Hometown Days and appreciates
Linda for providing the community with an
event to look forward to throughout the
year.
Pat Bennie, former San Carlos mayor, is
credited with establishing the first
Hometown Days back in 1980. Her idea was

House passes bill for Congress

to review nuclear deal with Iran
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A measles vaccine is seen at Venice Family Clinic in Los Angeles.

WASHINGTON Congress on Thursday

sent President Barack Obama a bill to give
lawmakers the power to review and potentially reject a nuclear deal with Iran.
The House overwhelmingly passed the
measure, 400-25, a reflection of lawmakers
insistence on having a say in what could be
a significant international accord to get Iran
to curb its nuclear program in exchange for
relief from economic sanctions.
Getting a deal would enhance Obamas foreign policy record, and while the GOP-led
Congress doesnt want to see a nucleararmed Iran, they are skeptical about Iranian
REUTERS
compliance and have demanded time to
review the fine points of any agreement the
White House reaches with Tehran.
Presidential spokesman Josh Earnest said
again Thursday that Obama would sign the
bill into law.
Negotiators from the U.S. and five other

nations are rushing to reach a deal with

Tehran by the end of June. As the House
voted, Obama met at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland with Arab leaders
in hopes of convincing them that U.S. overtures to Iran would not come at the expense
of commitments to their security in the
region.
The Iran nuclear legislation would bar
Obama from waiving congressional sanctions for at least 30 days while lawmakers
examine any final deal. The bill would stipulate that if senators disapprove of the deal,
Obama would lose his current power to
waive certain economic penalties Congress
has imposed on Iran.
The bill, which was passed last week by
the Senate on a 98-1 vote, would require
Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval to reject the deal, an action that
Obama almost certainly would veto.
Congress then would have to muster votes
from two-thirds of each chamber to override
the veto.

California Senate approves

school immunization bill Boston bombing jury finishes
By Don Thompson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO State senators passed a

bill Thursday aimed at increasing
Californias school immunization rates
after a measles outbreak at Disneyland last
year.
The bill was approved on a 25-10 vote
after a series of emotional hearings this year
at which opponents called for preserving
parental rights on the matter.
The measure would prohibit parents from
seeking vaccine exemptions for their children because of religious or personal
beliefs.
The bill, which now goes to the
Assembly, would make medical waivers
available only for children who have health
problems. Other unvaccinated children
would have to be homeschooled.
This is a matter of public safety. This is a
matter of protecting our communities, said
Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento.
Red-shirted opponents, some with restless children, crowded the public gallery to
watch the nearly hour-long Senate debate.
If the bill becomes law, California would
join Mississippi and West Virginia as the
only states with such strict requirements.
Gov. Jerry Brown has not said if he would
sign the bill.

Pan, a pediatrician, joined Sen. Ben

Allen, D-Santa Monica, in proposing
SB277 after the measles outbreak at
Disneyland in December sickened more than
100 people in the U.S. and Mexico and
highlighted low immunization rates in
some areas of the state.
Allen said the goal is to improve immunization rates so communicable diseases
dont spread, noting that his father suffered
from polio that he contracted as a child.
People of his generation still cant
believe that we have allowed communicable
diseases that we have the tools to fight back
into American society, Allen said. This is
about how each of our personal choices
impacts others.
The legislation is backed by organizations representing doctors, hospitals,
teachers, public health officials, local governments and unions and by what Allen
called a silent majority of parents.
Opponents unsuccessfully sought to add
amendments allowing religious exemptions
and making other changes.
It tells deeply devout families that the
government thinks it knows better, said
Sen. Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga.
The vote and debate crossed party lines,
with Sen. Jeff Stone, R-Temecula, endorsing
the bill from his experience as a practicing
pharmacist and denouncing what he said
were myths that have led to false concerns.

IS releases audio message

purportedly from leader
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The Islamic State group on

Thursday released an audio message purportedly from its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,
who has not been seen or heard from in
months.
The 35-minute audio message posted on
militant websites features a voice that
sounds like al-Baghdadis exhorting all
Muslims to take up arms and fight on behalf
of the groups self-styled caliphate. The
speaker references the Saudi-led air campaign against Shiite rebels in Yemen, which
began on March 26, and harshly criticizes
the Saudi royal family.
Islam was never a religion of peace.
Islam is the religion of fighting, he said.
No one should believe that the war that we
are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It
is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic
State is spearheading it. It is the war of
Muslims against infidels.
O Muslims go to war everywhere. It is
the duty of every Muslim, the speaker said.
It was not immediately possible to verify

whether the voice was al-Baghdadis.

In another indication the message was
recorded recently, the speaker appears to
refer to the thousands of people who fled
Ramadi last month as the Islamic State
group advanced on the town in Iraqs western Anbar province.
If some of your relatives are fighting
against the religion of God and are loyal to
Rawafid and Crusaders we will not hurt you,
he said using a derogatory term to refer to
Shiites. He called on Sunni members of the
Iraqi police and army to repent because
when the hands of the mujahideen get you
no repentance will be accepted.
He praised fighters who joined the group
in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Algeria and
Tunisia. He welcomed pledges of allegiance
from Islamic State supporters in Yemen,
Afghanistan and West Africa.
The last audio message purportedly from
al-Baghdadi came in November, days after
Iraqi officials said he was wounded in an
airstrike on an Iraqi town near the Syrian
border. Media reports have also said he was
severely wounded. The audio message was
not accompanied by photos or video.

Official says VA improperly

spends $5B a year on health
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Department of

Veterans Affairs is improperly spending at
least $5 billion a year for medical care and supplies being purchased in violation of required
practices for competitive bidding and written
contracts, a senior VA official said Thursday.
Gross mismanagement by senior agency
leaders has wasted billions of dollars and
made a mockery of federal laws regarding
purchasing of goods and services, said Jan

Frye, deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and logistics. Illegal purchases have
been made for pharmaceutical drugs and medical supplies, putting veterans at risk and
exposing the agency to widespread fraud,
waste and abuse, Frye said.
I can state without reservation that VA has
and continues to waste millions of dollars by
paying excessive prices for goods and services due to breaches of federal laws, Frye told
the House Veterans Affairs subcommittee on
oversight and investigations.

USDA creates new government

USDAs move comes as some consumer

The certification is the first of its kind,
would be voluntary and companies would
have to pay for it. If approved, the foods
would be able to carry a USDA Process
Verified label along with a claim that they
are free of GMOs.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack outlined the new certification in a May 1 letter

done at the request of a leading global company, which he did not identify. A copy of
the letter was obtained by the Associated

Vilsack sent the letter but declined to comment on the certification program. Vilsack
said in the letter that the certification will

flying at about 100 feet over Lafayette Park,
which is just across Pennsylvania Avenue

Obama convenes Camp David

summit with Gulf state leaders
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama and leaders from six Gulf nations are
trying to work through tensions sparked by
the U.S. bid for a nuclear deal with Iran, a
pursuit that has put regional partners on
edge.
Obama is seeking to reassure the Gulf
leaders gathering at Camp David that U.S.
overtures to Iran will not come at the
expense of commitments to their security.
He is expected to offer them more military
assistance, including increased joint exercises and coordination on ballistic missile
systems.
But when Thursdays meetings at the presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains
conclude, its unlikely Obama will have
fully assuaged the Gulfs deep-seated fear of
Iranian meddling in the region.
My guess is that the summit is going to
leave everybody feeling a little bit unsatisfied, said Jon Alterman, the Middle East
director at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
Obama and the leaders from Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman

and Bahrain opened their talks with a private dinner Wednesday night at the White
House. Just two heads of state are among
those meeting Obama, with other nations
sending lower-level, but still influential
representatives.
The most notable absence in Saudi King
Salman. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia announced
that the king was skipping the summit, just
two days after the White House said he was
coming.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef and
Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman were representing Saudi Arabia
instead. They held a separate meeting with
Obama before the other leaders arrived.
The president made no mention of Saudi
skepticism of the Iran talks as he opened the
meeting, but acknowledged the region is in
the midst of a very challenging time.
The White House and Saudi officials insist
the king is not snubbing Obama. But
Salmans conspicuous absence comes amid
indisputable signs of strain in the long relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia,
driven not only by Obamas Iran overtures,
but also the rise of Islamic State militants
and a lessening U.S. dependency on Saudi
oil.

learned Lock N Load Java has donation
packages to send coffee to the deployed

great opportunity for a team building
activity and a way to help support the
troops.
The idea then became a team challenge
to raise as much as possible. To make it
a little more fun and to motivate people
to donate, it was suggested that a correctional officer and sergeant would shave
their mustaches for the cause if the team
could reach $750. In less than 24 hours,
the team raised a total of $1,388 and
both men shaved. The correctional officer had not shaved since 2009 and the
sergeant had not been without a mustache in 20 years.

the troops, additional information can

Trade wars in Congress

Other voices

The New York Times

ongress is considering a
trade bill that is pitting
President Obama against
many members of his own party and
some Republicans. Though the two
sides have major differences, a compromise is still possible and would be
good for the American economy.
Obama is pushing for a bill that
sets negotiating objectives for trade
agreements and binds Congressional
lawmakers to casting up-or-down
votes on those deals for up to six
years. This fast-track process would
be used for two big pacts being negotiated now: the Trans-Pacic
Partnership with 11 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
Japan and Mexico, and the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership with the European Union.
Mr. Obama argues that foreign negotiators will not put their best offer on
the table if Congress can easily
amend deals after they have been
signed.
On Tuesday, the Senate is expected
to take up the bill, which is opposed
by some liberal Democrats who
believe such trade agreements hurt
American workers and by Republicans
who do not want to give the president
a victory. Getting support in the
House might be even harder.
The important thing to remember
about the Pacic and European trade
deals is that they are not primarily
about lowering customs duties and
quotas. While these deals would reduce

those barriers to trade, they would

have much of their impact by getting
countries to adopt similar regulations
in areas like labor standards, environmental protection, how governments
treat foreign investors and patent and
copyright law.
Done right, the Pacic trade deal,
which is nearing completion, could
help reduce environmental destruction
and improve the lives of workers in
countries like Brunei, Peru, Chile and
Vietnam, which are part of the negotiations. That agreement would also
strengthen American alliances in Asia
because it includes Malaysia and
Singapore. Administration ofcials
say other countries like South Korea
and Thailand might want to join the
pact in the future.
Some provisions that are expected
to be part of the deal could raise problems. For example, some public interest groups fear that the deal could
force developing countries to adopt
strict patent regulations that could
make many medicines unaffordable to
poor people.
Other critics like Senator Elizabeth
Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts,
are worried that provisions in the
trade agreement that prohibit governments from discriminating against
foreign companies might be used by
international banks to challenge
American nancial regulations. Mr.
Obama has called Ms. Warrens fears
hypothetical and speculative; the
administration says the fast-track bill

contains language that would prevent

the use of trade measures to change
American laws.
Many lawmakers want the administration to include an enforceable provision against currency manipulation
in the Pacic trade deal. This is a concern because countries like China,
Japan and South Korea have, at various times, articially depressed the
value of their currencies to boost
exports, which has hurt American
businesses and led to manufacturing
job losses.
There are ways Obama can address
these legitimate concerns. For example, he and lawmakers should be able
to write amendments to the bill that
clearly explain that trade pacts that
could undercut nancial and other regulations would not receive fast-track
consideration. This is important
because the bill in the Senate would
be effective well after Mr. Obama has
left ofce.
On currency manipulation, the
administration has acknowledged that
the Pacic pact should address this
issue. But it has provided few details
about how the agreement might prevent or discourage countries from
using this tactic.
Most Americans support increased
trade and business ties with other
countries. But half also believe that
trade destroys jobs, according to a
2014 Pew Research report. Last week
in a speech at the ofces of Nike, Mr.
Obama said the agreements he is
negotiating would be good for
American workers and the economy.
He still needs to convince lawmakers
in Congress.

Central Park South development
Editor,
Once again, the San Mateo
Planning Commission approved a
plan for major development, this
time adjacent to Central Park
(Central Park development gets
approval in the May 14 edition of
the Daily Journal). The problem is
with the mundane, boring architecture. The designs for these very visible structures next to Central Park
recall to memory the staid appearance
of the new workforce apartment buildings on Delaware Street, the (yawn)
Kaiser medical block across from
Whole Foods market and some of the
new developments of Bay Meadows
II. The Trans World plans for a fourstory ofce building and a three-story
residential building should be exciting, creative concepts to support the
charm of Central Park. Instead, they
look like a motel or an old school
house. Where is the excitement, the
drama, the charm and the fun?

In the business I own (lumberyard),
I am constantly looking for products
to retail which are made in the United
States. There are many out there, be it
hardware or lumber. Recently, I made
a conscious decision to stop carrying
Chinese plywood. There are issues
with quality and again, my intent is
to support an American company with
a product made at home, not overseas.
In this case, the alternative plywood
is made in Washington or Oregon and
yes, it will cost more. Why? It is a
better product in this case. It will not
only look better, but it will also
probably last longer than money of
the imported products that end up in a

word, cheap has a double meaning

was deeply disappointed to learn that the city of

San Mateo will begin charging for the two parking
lots at the Fifth Avenue and Claremont Street
where Kinkos used to be and the Worker Resource
Center is now. Those lots were purchased more than 15
years ago for $5 million with redevelopment money so
there could be parking while the Main Street Parking
Garage was demolished and rebuilt as part of the downtown cinema project.
The parking at those two lots have been free since.
Now, the city will charge 25
cents an hour, but held off on
any change until next year, as
part of its revamped
Downtown Parking
Management Plan.
From what I understand, the
rationale of that revised plan
was to increase parking rates
in certain premium areas as
a way to encourage people to
park outside of those areas
and perhaps walk to their destination. However, charging
for a parking spot in those
lots at the edge of downtown
seems counterintuitive because you would think the city
would want people, particularly downtown workers, to
park there and keep the premium spots for customers.
Charging, albeit a small 25 cents an hour, takes away
the golden incentive to park there and just might
encourage people to find street parking in the light
industrial and residential areas surrounding downtown.
Parking at those lots should remain free, to not only
encourage downtown workers to park there, but also
provide an incentive to stay in parking lots and not
adjacent streets. Downtown workers are already being
hit with an ever-rising cost of living. Does the city
really need to charge them $2 extra for a days work?
Thats $10 a week, $40 a month, which adds up for the
very workers the city should be doing everything possible to help.
Those lots were purchased to provide worker parking
and have proven to be successful. Why tinker with that?
Its not too late for the council to change its mind, is it?
Or is the money to be raised a quarter an hour at a time
too much for the council to turn away?
***
I do, however, want to applaud the citys foresight in
helping to enable new workforce housing at its former
police station site at 2000 S. Delaware St. As part of the
San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit-Oriented Development
Plan, the site was envisioned as a true public-private
partnership by using publicly-owned land to allow for a
true mix of workforce housing. One segment of the
development is below-market rate and was developed in
large part with federal tax credits corralled by Foster
City-based affordable housing nonprofit MidPen
Housing. The other segment was constructed by developers Westlake Urban and Palo Alto Partners, who were
able to create housing for those who make moderate
incomes. Thats a true need in this area, and wouldnt
have been possible without the citys assistance with
the land. While redevelopment agencies, since disbanded, enabled much of this type of development in years
past, more of this type of creative partnerships will be
necessary across the county if we are truly to address the
housing needs of our workforce.

While Google bought six office buildings belonging
to the Pacific Shores Center, it has yet to move in,
according to Redwood City officials.
The buildings have more than 1.1 million square feet
and a large fitness center on 100 acres. After Googles
plans for expansion in Mountain View got the kibosh
since the council didnt want to be too reliant on one
company, perhaps the search engine giant may set its
sights north. While that would be huge for this county,
its pure conjecture at this point.
Still, the location is right next to the Port of Redwood
City where Google had earlier operated a ferry system
from San Francisco and Alameda.
If there is a big move to the area, it is a boon to
Redwood City, but could also prove problematic in contending with the ever-growing challenge of finding all
those new workers a place to live. Company towns used
to build housing for its workers, but does not seem to be
a priority in this day though it might be good for the
ferry service.

Why U.S. economic growth

has disappointed this year
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Like an underachieving

student, the U.S. economy isnt living up
to the high hopes it began the year with.
Consumers have been uncharacteristically frugal, even as the country added jobs and
a sharp drop in gas prices over the past year
left them more money to spend.
Meanwhile, drilling companies reeling
from cheaper oil have slashed spending
much more rapidly than anyone expected.
A host of other, mostly temporary, factors have also weighed on growth. Harsh

winter weather kept shoppers at home, and

a labor dispute at West Coast ports slowed
exports.
Yet hope is still alive for the second half
of the year amid signs that the economy
could regain lost momentum.
Employers are holding onto their existing workers, keeping layoffs at rock bottom, and adding staff evidence that their
outlook remains positive.
In a report Thursday, the government said
applications for unemployment benefits
are at the lowest level in 15 years, which
means layoffs are low and job security is
very high.

and thats a decent move.

After a mostly downbeat week in the
markets, trading got off to a strong start
early Thursday as investors weighed the
two Labor Department reports.
The government said fewer people
applied for unemployment aid last
week, pushing the four-week average
down to its lowest level since April
2000. Unemployment benefit applications are a proxy for layoffs, so the
very low level is evidence that
Americans are enjoying more job security.
It is also a sign employers are confident enough in the economy to hold on
to their employees, despite signs of
sluggish growth.
A separate index that tracks the
prices of goods and services before
they reach consumers declined 0.4 percent last month. That could signal that
the Federal Reserve will hold off on
raising its key interest rate until this
fall, said Erik Davidson, chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private
Bank.
Inflation is not a big issue, he said.
The market consensus has to be that it
will be September or later that the Fed
will move.
Investors are trying to gauge when
the Federal Reserve will move to raise
short-term interest rates for the first
time in more than six years. The cen-

PayPal will list on

the Nasdaq later this year
NEW YORK When PayPal becomes a
stand-alone company later this year, it plans
to trade on the Nasdaq under the stock ticker
PYPL.
PayPal, which was founded in 1998, previously traded on the Nasdaq in 2001 under the
same ticker, before being acquired by eBay in
2002.
Dan Schulman, who will become CEO and
president of PayPal when it spins off from
eBay, said in a statement Thursday that the
ticker represents our unbroken commitment
to the spirit of the original vision that
sparked the launch of PayPal 17 years ago.
Shares of San Jose-based eBay rose $1.07,
or 1.8 percent, to $59.88 in afternoon trading. Its shares are up almost 16 percent over

Scots grab piece of crown

Hillsdale loses last two games to fall into co-championship
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Bulldogs face
tough test in
top-seed Delta
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Entering the final week of the regular season,

the Carlmont softball team didnt think it had
much of a chance to win its fourth straight
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division.
The Scots trailed first-place Hillsdale by two
games with just two games left to play.
But then the Knights were stunned 2-1 by
Woodside Tuesday and suddenly the Scots were
back in the mix and they didnt let the opportunity slip through their collective grasp.
I heard Woodside beat them and that opened
the door, said Carlmont coach Jim Liggett.
Traveling to San Mateo to face Hillsdale in
the regular-season finale Thursday, Carlmont
scored two runs in the second and three in the
third to post a 5-1 win and clinch a co-championship with the Knights.
Its pretty cool (to win a piece of the Bay
Division title), said Carlmont designated hitter Cam Kondo. We werent expecting it after
losing to Half Moon Bay (April 28).
Kondo, a sophomore, was celebrating her
16th birthday Thursday, so of course the birthday girl would be a big factor in the Scots victory. Kondo was 3 for 3 with a double, two runs
scored and an RBI.
Kondo credited Tuesdays win for getting
Carlmont prepared for Thursdays showdown
with Hillsdale. The Scots beat the Panthers 121, pounding out 12 hits in the process. They
continued their hot hitting against Hillsdale,
scoring five runs on seven hits.
All of Carlmonts offense came in the second
and third innings as the Scots teed off on
Hillsdale starting pitcher Eryn McCoy. In
those two innings, the Scots had three hits
with two-strike counts and they hit McCoy
hard.
I think she missed her spots. Thats disappointing, said Hillsdale coach Randy
Metheany.
But Metheany was hardly going to hang the
loss on his star pitcher.
We didnt swing the bats very well,
Metheany said. We hit the ball hard but you
cant hit it right at people.
McCoy got off to a strong start, striking out

When the College of San Mateo baseball

team squares off against San Joaquin Delta in
the Northern California regional finals Friday
at 2 p.m., the old adage about good pitching
vs. good hitting will be put to the test.
And, at least on paper, CSM is a major
underdog to return to its first state final four for
the first time since 2010.
No. 1-seed Delta ranks as the second best
pitching staff in the state with a 1.92 team
ERA. No. 5 CSM has shown the better
offense, ranking 20th in the state with a .295
team batting average. Delta is currently hitting .273 as a team.
The Bulldogs pitching has been on quite a
roll, however. Sweeping through the first two
regional playoff rounds against Merced and
Santa Rosa, CSM has outscored its opponents
27-9 through four games.
Much of that has to do with an experienced
corps of CSM sophomores. The Bulldogs
returned all but one arm from last seasons
pitching-rich freshman crop. Despite last
years inexperience, the Bulldogs still reached
the regional playoffs before falling to Santa
Rosa. This season, however, CSM breezed
through its fellow Nor Cal powerhouse.
CSM has relied heavily on three arms this
season Sam Hellinger, Devin Mahoney and
Keone Cabinian all of whom are sophomores.
Hellinger has been the staff ace, posting an
8-0 record. If everything goes the Bulldogs
way throughout the remainder of the postseason, Hellinger will surpass the 100-inningspitched plateau. The right-handed Seattle
native is currently pacing the staff with 92 2/3
innings pitched.
Cabinian hasnt pitched since April 4. But
Mahoney has emerged as the savior of the
starting rotation. Still the team leader in relief
innings, the left-hander has turned in back-toback gems since debuting as a starting pitcher
May 2 in the clinching game of the opening
regional round against Merced.

Giants give up 3-0 lead, lose 4-3 to Cincinnati

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI Marlon Byrd hit a basesloaded single and a tiebreaking solo homer in
the eighth inning Thursday night, leading the
Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the San
Francisco Giants.
The Reds have won 12 of their last 15 regular-season games against the Giants at Great
American Ball Park.
Byrds two-run single off struggling
Tim Lincecum put Reds starter Johnny
Cueto in position for a win. He turned a 32 lead over to the NLs worst bullpen in

the eighth, and it got away.

Joe Panik tripled with one out extending
his hitting streak to a career-high 10 games
and scored on Angel Pagans single off
Tony Cingrani to tie it at 3. Jumbo Diaz (2-0)
retired the last two batters to end the inning.
Byrd connected off Sergio Romo (0-2) with
one out in the eighth, his eighth homer of the
season. Aroldis Chapman fanned two of the
three batters in the ninth for his seventh save
in as many chances.
Cueto gave up two runs and five hits in
seven innings, fanning nine. He let in

one run with a balk.

Lincecum brought a streak of 15 scoreless
innings into the game, but had trouble just
keeping his footing, slipping to his knee on
one pitch. Lincecum walked five, hit a batter,
threw a wild pitch and gave up three runs in only
4 2/3 innings.
Cueto gave up a pair of hits, including Buster
Poseys RBI single, while throwing 23 pitches.
Lincecum bounced his first pitch and walked
three consecutive batters with two outs before
Jay Bruce flied out to the warning track in center
on his 32nd pitch.

Gregor Blanco doubled off Cueto in the third,

advanced on a groundout and scored on Cuetos
fourth balk, the most in the majors.
Lincecum continued to struggle with his control and his footing. He gave up a double to Todd
Frazier in the fourth, then slipped to his knee
while throwing ball four to Byrd his back
foot slid off the rubber during the delivery.
Brayan Penas RBI single ended Lincecums
scoreless inning streak at 18 and cut it to 2-1.
The Reds loaded the bases in the fifth, and
Byrd hit an opposite-field single for a 3-2 lead
on Lincecums 99th and final pitch.

Jonathan Engelmann had a monster game
as he helped lead the Panthers into the PAL

a pitch, as well. He drove in two runs with a
fourth-inning triple and stole four bases to
up his school record to 34 for the season. He
broke Dan Uharriets record of 29.
Mitchell Swanson and Cooper Gindreaux
also drove in runs for the Panthers.
That was more than enough offensive support for sophomore pitcher Alex Vina, who

pitched the final two innings in earning his
first save of the season for Burlingame.
Burlingame took a 1-0 lead in the top of
the first inning, but Terra Nova tied it in the
bottom of the frame. The Tigers scored a run
in the bottom of the third for a 2-1 advantage, but the Panthers tied it in the top of
the fourth.
Burlingame then took the lead for good
with a three-run fifth and added an insurance
run in the top of the sixth.

Cleveland knocks out Chicago

By Andrew Seligman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO LeBron James struggled to

score 15 points, Kyrie Irving limped off the
court and the Cleveland Cavaliers still beat the
Chicago Bulls 94-73 on Thursday night to
clinch their Eastern Conference semifinal
series in six games.
Matthew Dellavedova scored 19 points and
Tristan Thompson added 13 points and 17
rebounds to help the Cavaliers advance to the
conference final for the first time since 2009
even though their superstar played like a mere
mortal and their All-Star point guard hobbled to
the locker room in the first half.
Despite all that, Cleveland is right where it
expected to be after James decided to come
home from Miami and return to his first team.
The Cavaliers didnt expect to get there like
this, though with Kevin Love suffering a
season-ending shoulder injury in the opening
round and Irving trying to gut through problems with both legs.
Irving scored six points in 12 minutes before
he came down on Thompsons foot early in the
second quarter with the score 35-35 and did not
return.
James had 11 assists and nine rebounds but
hardly looked like the superhuman that carried
Cleveland in Game 5 with 38 points, 12
rebounds, six assists, three steals and three
blocks. He shot 7 of 23 from the field and
missed all four 3-point attempts in this game.
But the Cavaliers had more than enough to get
by, setting up a matchup with Atlanta or
Washington.
It is James fifth straight conference finals,
the previous four with Miami.
Jimmy Butler led Chicago with 20 points and
Derrick Rose finished with 14. Pau Gasol
scored all of his eight points in the first quarter
after missing the previous two games with a
strained left hamstring, and the Bulls simply
got overmatched in what could be their final
game under coach Tom Thibodeau.
There is heavy speculation that he could be
out because of friction with management
despite leading Chicago to a 255-139 record
and playoff appearances in each of his five seasons.
Iman Shumpert scored 13 points for
Cleveland. Dellavedova, James Jones and J.R.

DAVID BANKS/USA TODAY SPORTS

Cleveland center Timofey Mozgov, center, prepares to shoot as Chicago Bulls center Joakim
Noah, left, and forward Pau Gasol, left, defend during the first quarter of the Cavs 94-73 win.
Smith (12 points) all hit three 3-pointers and
the Cavaliers converted 12 in all.
Even with Irving missing most of the second
quarter and James scoring just six points on 3of-11 shooting, the Cavaliers led 58-44 at halftime and maintained control the rest of the way.
Things were not looking good for Cleveland
when Irving landed on Thompsons foot and hit
the court grimacing in pain with 9:47 left in the
half. He limped to the sideline and headed to the
locker room.
Even so, the Cavaliers went on a 20-2 run to
go up 58-42 before Butler scored on a layup in
the closing seconds of the half.

Shumpert had nine points during that stretch

and let Nikola Mirotic hear about it when he
nailed a 3 after getting clotheslined by the
Bulls forward.

Tip-ins
Cav al i ers : Irving acknowledged the time
he is spending treating his injuries is taking
away from his preparation on the court a little
bit. He said he will not need surgery and that
the medical team told him the only cure is rest.
Thats the only thing that will help me right
now, he said.

Brady appeals suspension; Pats rebut NFL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Super Bowl MVP

Tom Brady appealed the four-game suspension
he was handed for his role in using deated
footballs during the AFC championship
game, and the players union urged
Commissioner Roger Goodell to appoint a
neutral arbitrator to hear the case.
The expected appeal was
led by the NFL Players
Association on Thursday
about an hour before a 5
p.m. Eastern deadline.
The leagues collective
bargaining
agreement
stipulates that it will be
decided by Goodell or a
person he designates. But
Tom Brady
the players union said in a
news release that given the NFLs history of
inconsistency and arbitrary decisions in disciplinary matters, it is only fair that a neutral
arbitrator hear this appeal.
The union did not detail the basis for the
appeal. But in a 20,000-word rebuttal posted
online by the Patriots lawyers earlier
Thursday, the team disputed the conclusions
on matters of science, logic and law.
Attorney Daniel Goldbergs response
claims the leagues conclusions are at best,
incomplete, incorrect and lack context,
claiming as one example that the deator
nickname used by a ballboy and cited in the
discipline was about weight loss, not footballs.
Goldberg represented the team and was present during all of interviews of team personnel.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James conrmed

that the site wellsreportcontext.com was genuine and approved/supported by the team.
The NFL suspended the quarterback for four
games on Monday, also ning the defending
Super Bowl champions $1 million and taking
away two draft picks.
Bradys appeal only deals with the suspension and must be heard within 10 days. The
team has not said if it will appeal its penalties,
which include a rst-round draft pick next year
and a fourth-rounder in 2017, before a May 21
deadline.
League-appointed investigator Ted Wells
found that Brady was at least generally aware
of plans by two team employees to prepare
the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square
inch.
But the teams rebuttal presented its own
science that would explain the loss of pressure
in a more innocuous way.
The most fundamental issue in this matter
is: DOES SCIENCE EXPLAIN THE LOSS OF
PSI IN THE PATRIOTS FOOTBALLS? attorney Daniel L. Goldberg wrote before concluding, also in all capital letters, that it does.
The rebuttal also alludes to other incidents
of ball-tampering that were not dealt with as
harshly. And it says increased communication
between Brady and the ballboys after the scandal broke were just normal expressions of
concern, rather than evidence of the quarterbacks guilt.
Here are some more of the claims and counter-claims in the Wells report and the Patriots
rebuttal:

The Deflator
The NFL s ay s : Texts in which McNally
refers to himself as the deator are an indi-

cation that he was taking air out of footballs

after they were inspected by the referees. His
texts with equipment assistant John
Jastremski also include a reference to a providing him with a needle.
The team s ay s : McNally used the term
deator refer to his desire to lose weight, as
in the text, deate and give somebody that
jacket. And the needle was necessary because
McNally was sometimes responsible for getting an ination needle to referees for pregame
testing.

The science
The NFL s ay s : The footballs provided by
the Patriots lost more air pressure between the
pregame test and halftime than could be
explained by non-nefarious reasons.
The team s ay s : The league cherry-picked
readings from two different gauges to create
the biggest gap between pregame and halftime
measurements. That overshadowed a difference in air pressure in some of the balls that
could be explained by atmospheric conditions.

Who is He?
The NFL s ay s : Its Brady. A text message
from Jastremski to McNally says: Talked to
him last night. He actually brought you up and
said you must have a lot of stress trying to get
them done.
The Patri o ts s ay : It is a leap of logic to
conclude that the stress was related to football
deation. They refer, Goldberg wrote, to Mr.
Jastremskis friend, as the investigators were
told, and the conversation involved issues
relating to Mr. McNallys stress relating to
reselling family tickets.

Another driver flips car during Indy practice

By Jim Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Three big crashes in

Indianapolis 500 practice this week have
raised one big question. Are the new oval
aero kits, along with speeds that have
topped 230 mph, the cause?
Were still learning, to be honest, Helio
Castroneves said. There are so many little
details with the new aero kit that were just
starting now to go through that phase. My
teammates are going through that phase as
well and were just starting.
The three-time Indy 500 winner lost control of his car before it hit the wall, went airborne and flipped Wednesday. On Thursday,
Josef Newgarden flipped his car in the latest
crash.
Newgarden, the 24-year-old Tennessee
driver, was checked, cleared and released
from the speedways medical center.
Team Penskes Simon Pagenaud led
Thursdays practice with a fast lap of
228.793 mph.

Colombias Carlos Munoz had the second-fastest time at 228.126, American Sage
Karam was third at 228.126, New Zealands
Scott Dixon was fourth forth at 227.634,
and Brazils Tony Kanaan was fifth at
227.527.
Newgarden lost control of the CFH
Racing entry car going into the first turn at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the car
flipped and rested on its side after it slapped
into the wall.
Im still trying to gather my thoughts
from it, he said. It definitely surprised me.
Just lucky that everythings good and the
Dallara tub held up pretty well.
That seemed to be a common theme at
Indy on Thursday as IndyCar and Chevrolet
worked to determine if the new oval aero
kits were the cause of a crash that sent
Castroneves car airborne Wednesday.
Both Castroneves and Newgarden drive
Chevrolet cars and both crashes were similar they happened near the same part of
the track, and both cars flipped when the car
turned backward.
Its definitely concerning, CFH Racing

owner Ed Carpenter said. We havent had

cars doing that ever in my career. But theres
a lot different this year. I dont know that we
understand why its going on at this point
and really I dont know that we understand
that its just a problem for Chevy cars,
either.
Pippa Mann is the only driver with a
Honda car that crashed this week, but still
takes full responsibility for the crash that
sent her car spinning into the wall
Wednesday.
My crash, it didnt have anything to do
with the aero kits at all, the English driver
said. My accident would have happened
with those circumstances with last years
aero kit, with the 2011 car. It was just one of
those things.
The cars have only been on the track for
five days with the oval aero kits, including
test day held on opening day at Indy.
After Castroneves crash, Team Penske
owner Roger Penske raised his concern
almost immediately about the front wicker
pinning the front of his car down as it went
airborne.

Earlier, IndyCar made the wicker mandatory for the remainder of the season, but
Thursday decided to make it optional
because the oval aero kit was originally
tested without the wicker earlier this month.
We were asked to take it off so we did,
Carpenter said. I thought it was kind of
obnoxious because we just got asked to put
it on about a month ago. Theres certainly a
lot of unanswered questions and hopefully
well get answers to them in time.
If the wicker had anything to do with
Castroneves crash, officials say its too
early to tell and Chevrolet wont comment
until they complete their investigation into
the cause of the two crashes.
The bottom line for Newgarden, though,
is that so far everyone walked away from
their crashes without being seriously
injured.
Every once in a while the cars going to
have a hard hit, he said. But it looks like
the car did its job and kept them safe. Thats
the biggest thing for me, that theyre safe
race cars.

Cavendish races to third Tour of California stage win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARITA Britains Mark

Cavendish raced his third Tour of California
stage victory and Latvias Tom Skujins
retained the overall lead Thursday in the
rainy fifth stage.
Cavendish, the Etixx-Quick Step rider
who won the first two stages, powered to
the front in the final 200 yards to win the
95.7-mile leg from Santa Barbara to Santa
Clarita in 3 hours, 51 minutes, 37 seconds.
Cavendish waited for Australian teammate
Mark Renshaw to get to the front of the
field.

Cycling brief
Contador injures arm
in stage 6 crash at Giro
CASTIGLIONE DELLA PESCAIA, Italy
Overall leader Alberto Contador injured his
arm in a crash on the final sprint of the
sixth stage of the Giro dItalia on Thursday.
Contador was able to get up and finish the

I had Mark Renshaw at the end, and as

always he was cool and calm, but we had to
dig deep, Cavendish said. Daniel Oss
attacked in last kilometer and Mark was
cooked, so we couldnt go as fast as we
wanted in the end. It was a headwind finish,
and I knew I didnt want to jump early.
Cavendish has 131 career victories, eight
in the Tour of California.
Belgiums Zico Waeytens of GiantAlpecin was second, and Slovakias Peter
Sagan of Tinkoff-Saxo was third in the
same time as Cavendish.
Sagan, who won the fourth stage and finished second in the first three stages, gained

four bonus seconds to cut Skujins lead to 18

seconds with three stages left in the eightday race.
Skujins, who rides for the American
Hincapie Racing team, assumed the race lead
with a solo win in the third stage. He finished in the main field Thursday.
My guys did amazing, Skujins said. We
managed to not let the break get too far
ahead. We kept them close, 3:30 or so. We
knew after the last descent that it could be
tailwind, or tail-cross, fast finish, had them
at 2 minutes. ... It didnt get too out of
hand.
Frances Julian Alaphilippe of Etixx-

Quick-Step was third overall, 44 seconds

back.
With snow forecast Friday for the individual time trial in Big Bear Lake, race organizers have revised and shortened what was
viewed as a key day for the overall race title
contenders.
Instead of riding 15.1-mile time trial at
more than 6,700 feet, the field will negotiate a 6.5-mile course starting and ending at

time gaps will be greatly reduced.
A womens invitational time trial will be

the podium to put on the leaders pink jersey.
The Spaniard, who is attempting to
become the first rider since Marco Pantani
in 1998 to win the Giro and the Tour de
France in the same year, would undergo tests
and X-rays to determine the severity of the
injury, his team said.
The crash occurred in the final 300 meters
as Daniele Colli hit the camera lens of a

spectator leaning over the barrier and went

down, bringing half the peloton down with
him. Colli seriously injured his arm and was
immediately taken to a hospital.
Contador and the other riders involved did
not lose any time as it happened in the final
3K and he maintained a two-second lead
over Italian title hopeful Fabio Aru and a 20second advantage over Richie Porte.
Andre Greipel won the bunch sprint at the
end of the 183-kilometer (114-mile) leg

from Montecatini Terme to Castiglione

Della Pescaia. The German was perfectly led
out by Lotto Souda teammate Greg
Henderson and he had enough power to beat
Matteo Pelucchi by a bike length.
Sacha Modolo was third.

from Grosseto to Fiuggi.

Can Derby winner become next American idol?

By Richard Rosenblatt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE From a Kentucky horse

farm to a sales ring in Saratoga to Bob
Bafferts barn at Santa Anita, American
Pharoah gave every indication hes a champion in the making.
So what if part of his tail is missing and he
has cotton stuffed in his ears before races? To
owner and breeder Ahmed Zayat, his
Kentucky Derby winner and Preakness
favorite American Pharoah is the horse of
lifetime.
He is sheer brilliance and comes with
unbelievable character, said Zayat, who was
just warming up. He is a character. He is a
horse that is kind, sweet, heady, classy,
beautiful. Its very rare to have a horse that
has it all. He does everything as effortlessly
as you can ever think.
In the months after the bay colt was foaled
at Stockplace Farm, outside Lexington,
Kentucky, on Feb. 2, 2012, then moved to
Vinery farm, Zayat received glowing reports,
particularly about the way he acted around
other horses.
Usually, when they are young, theyre
silly, they hit each other and jump on each
other like little kids, Zayat said. I kept getting told hes acting so mature and confident,
like Im the leader of this group.
Right now, hes leading many to believe
he can win the Preakness on Saturday, set up
a Triple Crown attempt in three weeks at the
Belmont Stakes and end a record 37-year gap
since Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness
and Belmont.
I am not going ahead of myself, Zayat
said. We have to win the Preakness and have
to see what happens before allowing myself
to think of glory.
Zayat, who has spent millions on horses
since diving head first into the business 10
years ago, also is proud American Pharoah is
a homebred, a son of his Derby runner-up

REUTERS

American Pharoah, shown winning the Kentucky Derby, is the latest horse to take a shot at
horse racings Triple Crown.
Pioneerof the Nile and grandson of another
Derby runner-up, Empire Maker. His mother
is a horse named for Zayats daughter, Emma,
Littleprincessemma.
A to Z, he is Zayat blood, the owner said
of American Pharoah. His dad is the first
horse I bred who won a Grade 1. Its like saying your first team ever won the Super Bowl.
And now he comes and wins the Derby and
avenges the losses of his dad and grandfather?
At Vinery, it was Frances Relihan, operations manager at the time, who told Zayat his
colt stood out.
She told me he is the best foal she ever
saw, Zayat recalled. He was just showing

tremendous leadership qualities.

And then it was on to Taylor Made, where
the sales team convinced Zayat his colt could
raise Pioneerof the Niles profile with breeders, owners and buyers.
So into the ring he went at the FasigTipton Saratoga selected yearling sale, but
with a caveat. Zayat would not sell for under
$1 million. As it turned out, Zayat bought
him back for $300,000.
On to Ocala, Florida, where American
Pharoah learned how to be a racehorse. The
breaking process went well, and Zayat called
in trainers for his breeze show to showcase
his latest crop.
Baffert immediately stated lobbying

Zayats son Justin, the general manager of

Zayat Stables.
As soon as I saw this horse work on the
farm, I sent him a video and Bob said to me,
Justin, remember the Breeders Cup is in
California this year, Justin Zayat said. He
wanted our horse. He saw how good he was
from Day One. If you want to give a horse
time to prepare for the Derby, youre going
to give him to Bob Baffert.
All did not go well when American Pharoah
arrived in Bafferts barn at Santa Anita. The
colt, who, according to Zayat, lost part of
his tail when Preakness rival Mr. Z bit it
when they were in the field, was a sensitive
sort. Distracted occasionally. It showed in
his first race. Under Martin Garcia, he ran
second most of the race, went wide on the
turn, weakened in the stretch and finished
fifth going 5 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar.
Baffert went the cotton route for a fix
cotton in the ears (earplugs if you will). Its
standard operating procedure before each race
now. Not much acting up anymore, and no
losses since.
With a new rider in Victor Espinoza,
American Pharoah won the Del Mar Futurity
and the FrontRunner Stakes with ease. He
would have been the favorite for the
Breeders Cup Juvenile, but Baffert noticed
something wrong a slight discomfort in
the colts left front foot. American Pharoah
missed the race, still was voted 2- year-old
champion and didnt return to the races for
nearly 5 1/2 months.
When he got hurt it was the most gut
wrenching thing of my life, Justin Zayat
said. When he came back it wasnt a sigh of
relief, it was more of just happiness to see
him back, proud of him.
The comeback was a splashing success. He
romped in the Rebel over a sloppy track at
Oaklawn Park in Arkansas, winning by 6 1/4
lengths. Then he clobbered the field by eight
lengths in the Arkansas Derby three weeks
before the Derby.

World hockey tourney semifinals set

By Karel Janicek
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRAGUE Tyler Seguin notched a hat

trick as Canada cruised past Belarus 9-0,
while Evgeni Malkin scored twice to lift
titleholder Russia over Sweden 5-3 in the
quarterfinals of the ice hockey world championship on Thursday.
In Ostrava, Ben Smith and Charlie Coyle
scored 57 seconds apart as the United States
rallied for a 3-1 victory over Switzerland,
and lined up Russia in the semifinals on
Saturday.
Russia lost to the U.S. 4-2 in the group
stage, and forward Viktor Tikhonov said
they were looking forward to the rematch,
with Alexander Ovechkin expected after his
NHL playoffs ended.
Its what we wanted, because every time
you lose to someone you always want to
prove that you can come back and beat
them, Tikhonov said.
Canada finally ended a sequence of losing
in the quarterfinals at five consecutive
worlds, but will have to go through the

hosts next after the Czech Republic eliminated last years runner-up, Finland, 5-3.
Veteran Jaromir Jagr tied the game at 2 in
the middle period with a backhand on a
power play, and skated around the net to find
a gap around Finn goalkeeper Pekka Rinne
with 4:30 left in the final frame.
The Czechs downplayed their chances of a
first world title since 2010.
Were under huge pressure, Jagr said.
The fans consider us better than Canada.
Theyre excellent players. It could be
theyll never have such a great team at the
worlds again. If they play their best, we
have little chance. We cant give them a bit
of ice without fighting.
With his three, Seguin joined Swedens
Filip Forsberg at the top of the worlds scoring chart with eight goals.
We won by the margin because we kept
playing our game, Seguin said. Were
looking forward to the semifinal match.
Ryan OReilly and Brent Burns scored two
goals apiece and added an assist, and Tyler
Ennis and Jason Spezza had a goal each, as
Canada hunts its 25th title. It last won in

2007, and has been waiting for a medal

since winning silver in 2009.
The Sidney Crosby-led Canadians have
eight wins from eight games, and 58 goals,
the most they have scored since 1962.
Its nice to put ourselves in a position to
get to the finals, Crosby said. The important thing is to get better every game, and at
this point youve got to be at your best. Its
win or go home, so we did a good job
today.
Goaltender Mike Smith stopped 24 shots
for his first shutout at the tournament.
It was just a bonus, Smith said. The
way they play in front of me is the most
important.
Also in Ostrava, Malkin scored the winner
just 26 seconds after Loui Eriksson tied it
for Sweden at 3-3 with 5:45 remaining in
regulation. Vladimir Tarasenko added an
empty net goal in the last minute, as Russia
knocked out Sweden for the second year running.
Earlier, Sergei Mozyakin and Sergei
Shirokov scored first-period goals, and
Malkin got the puck past goalie Jhonas

Enroth 48 seconds into the second period.

He also had an assist.
Sweden answered with goals from John
Klingberg in the second, and Anton Lander
in the third.
Smith tied the game for the Americans
with a wrist shot 10:17 into the second period, and Coyle deflected in a slap shot by
defensemen Seth Jones for the go-ahead
goal.
It was a big minute and a big boost for all
the team, teammate Trevor Lewis said.
Defenseman Jake Gardiner scored the third
with a wrist shot midway through the final
period.
Defenseman Roman Josi gave Switzerland
the lead 13:04 into the game when he collected the puck behind the blue line, carved
through the U.S. defense, and hit high past
goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
Beside Jagr, Jan Kovar also had two goals
for the Czechs, one of them with an assist
from Jagr, and Vladimir Sobotka added one
into an empty net.
For Finland, Tuomo Ruutu, Jussi Jokinen
and Aleksander Barkov scored.

Robert Streb takes

the Wells Fargo lead
By Steve Reed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Phil

Mickelson faded early and Rory
McIlroy tailed off late. Robert Streb
just kept on making birdies.
Streb shot a 7-under 65 on
Thursday to take a one-shot lead
over Patrick Reed and Kevin
Chappell after the first round of the
Wells Fargo Championship.
McIlroy appeared on the verge of
a late run at the leaderboard before
making a double bogey on the difficult par-3 17th hole. The worlds
top-ranked player appeared stunned
when his tee shot hit the rock wall
in front of the green and his ball
caromed high into the air and into
the water. He finished with a 70.
One big mistake, McIlroy said.
McIlroy had just made par on the
16th hole by hitting a 9-iron pin
high from 166 yards. He went with
an 8-iron from 178 yards on No. 17,
but it wound up not being enough to
carry the water when his ball got
held up in the wind.
Despite the error, McIlroy said
overall he was pleased with his
round.
I did what I wanted to, said
McIlroy, who won the event in
2010 for his first PGA Tour title. I
took advantage of the par 5s and
made birdie on a couple of par 4s.
Mickelson had his troubles too
after a fast start.
Lefty opened with three birdies,
but had a double bogey on the 18th

hole when his tee shot wound up in

the creek on the left side of the fairway. He shot 71, leaving him six
shots back.
Mickelson has long expressed
his affinity for Quail Hollow, saying it is suits his game perfectly.
Yet, he is winless in 11 tries,
although he has come close with
five top-5 finishes.
He got things off to a rousing
start, sinking birdie putts from 6, 9
and 12 feet to start the back nine,
drawing roars from a crowd. But the
putts wouldnt fall for Mickelson
after his initial burst.
I turned a 66 into a 71 today,
Mickelson said.
Mickelson, who missed the cut
last week at The Players
Championship, insists his game
isnt that far off.
Fortunately, I didnt shoot
myself out of the tournament, he
said.
While Mickelson faded after his
strong start, Streb didnt.
After tying for 30th at The
Players, Streb set the early pace
with two quick birdies on the back
nine and played a bogey-free round.
His 65 was the second-best opening round score of his brief PGA
Tour career. He found his putting
stroke last week at TPC Sawgrass
and it was right there again at Quail
Hollow.
Its the first time in a while I feel
like I have my putter working,
Streb said.
It didnt hurt that he caught a few
breaks along the way.

Bode Miller keeps

open possibility of
return to ski team
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

At the moment, Bode Miller is preparing

to change diapers, not charge down a mountain.
Although, he is keeping his ski racing
options open even as his wife gets ready to
deliver their child anytime now.
The six-time Olympic medalist accepted a
nomination Thursday to be a part of the
U.S. Ski Team in 2015-16. His acceptance
doesnt necessarily mean he will be back in
a World Cup starting gate or, casting an
even further glance down the road, around
for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South
Korea.
This decision only guarantees him funding, facilities and coaching should he
choose a return over retirement.
Miller has more time to decide the ofcial U.S. team wont be named until this
fall.
The one thing Ive learned over the years
is keep an open mind with Bode, U.S.
mens coach Sasha Rearick said in a phone
interview. I dont lose sleep on whether
Bode is going to ski or not because its
Bode whos going to decide that. He qualies for the team. Hes expressed interest to
be part of the team. What level hes doing
and participating next year is really to be
determined and for all of us to keep an eye
out.
No pressure, either.
When Bode calls me and tells me he
wants to race or train or put something
together, Im always here for him and will
do everything I can, Rearick said. When

those phone calls come or those messages

come, I know hes 100 percent committed.
Other than Miller, there were no real surprises on the nomination list. Olympic
champions Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso,
Mikaela Shiffrin and Ted Ligety were all on
the A team. Vonn is coming off a season
in which she broke Austrian great
Annemarie Moser-Proells career record for
World Cup race wins.
The last time the world saw Miller on the
slopes was in February, when he crashed
during the super-G at the world championships in Beaver Creek, Colorado, and
severed his right hamstring tendon.
Soon after surgery, Miller said he was
going to carefully weigh his options. The
37-year-old Miller wasnt sure if he wanted
to commit all his time and energy to training with a baby on the way.
Especially after all he endured just to
make it back in time for world championships. Miller, whos from Franconia,
New Hampshire, had surgery last November
to x a herniated disk in his back and was
competing in his rst event of the season
when he cut a gate too close and hooked his
left arm, sending him spiraling out of control.
In typical Miller fashion, he almost
recovered. But then one ski popped off, followed by the other as he somersaulted down
the slope, and he landed on one of his sharp
skis. It opened up a gash that led to immediate surgery.
There went the rest of worlds.
At the time, Miller said he was at peace
should his racing days indeed be over
because its been an amazing ride.

CSM

Case in point: the decisive Game 2 in the bestof-three regional series against Merced. In the
fifth inning, CSM maintained a one-run lead
when Miles Mastrobuoni led off with a dou-

ble. Cleanup hitter Juan Gonzalez followed by

taking a chance to drive in Mastrobuoni.
Gonzalez caught a thigh-high slider and hit
a smash to the left side of the infield, right at
the Merced third baseman. On the throw to
first, Mastrobuoni ignited the Bulldogs
dugout by taking advantage of the throw
across the diamond to motor into third base on
an exceptional hustle play. CSM would go on
to score twice in the inning and ultimately win
it 6-1.
The Bulldogs lost their top RBI man midway through the season in Steve Pastora when
the El Camino alum exited March 19 against
DeAnza with a season-ending shoulder injury.
Mahoney has overtaken the team lead in RBIs
with 31, much in part to the No. 5 hitter constantly batting with ducks on the pond. The
top four batters in the CSM order, Draco
Roberts, Austin Lonestar, Mastrobuoni and
Gonzalez, are each hitting above the .300
mark.
Mastrobuoni paces the Bulldogs with a .363
batting average. The sophomore also ranks
seventh in the state with 23 stolen bases,
which should make for an interesting matchup
with Theroux, as the sophomore is one of the
best catch-and-throw backstops in the state.
Game 1 at Delta College is slated for Friday
at 2 p.m. Game 2 is Saturday at 1 p.m. If necessary, Game 3 will start Sunday at noon.

The Scots continued their torrid hitting in

the third inning. With one out, Kelsey Ching
singled to left to bring up Sara Cadona, in what
turned out to be a crucial at-bat. On a 1-2 count,
Cadona hit a routine grounder to the Hillsdale
third baseman, who threw to second to get the
lead runner. But the Hillsdale second baseman
dropped the throw and both runners were safe.
Kondo came up and made the Knights pay for
the mistake, driving an opposite-field single
to right to drive in Ching and put Carlmont up
3-0.
McLemore followed with a sacrifice fly to
left to drive in Kondo and Racioppi capped the
scoring with a RBI-double to left to give the
Scots a 5-0 lead.
The Nos. 4, 5 and 6 hitters did most of the
damage for the Scots. In addition to Kondos

big day, Racioppi, the No. 6 hitter, was 2 for 3

with a pair of RBIs. McLemore, the No. 5 hitter, was 1 for 2 with two RBIs.
The first time we faced [McCoy], she threw
a better game, Liggett said. We werent ready
for the speed she showed (in that April 28
game).
With Carlmont in firm control, Hillsdale
mounted a rally in the bottom of the fourth.
McCoy walked to start the inning, Lauren
Quirke singled to left and Bailey Nestor drove
in the Knights only run of the game with a single to right.
After cruising through the first three
innings, McLemore, Carlmonts starter, was
quickly done. After Nestors RBI single,
Liggett quickly went to his bullpen and summoned Cadona, who was playing in right field.

Continued from page 11

But CSMs rotation is set to clash with two
of the most accomplished pitchers in the state
in Deltas freshman tandem of Cameron
Leeper and Dean Kremer. Leeper a 5-10 lefthander out of Sacramento leads the state in
two legs of the pitching triple crown with 14
wins and 115 strikeouts through 99 2/3
innings.
Kremer a 6-3 right-hander out of Deltas
backyard in Stockton ranks third in the
state with 11 wins. And while not being as
dominant a strikeout artist as his left-handed
counterpart, Kremer still ranks ninth in the
state with 76 strikeouts through 97 2/3
innings.
Leeper and Kremers battery mate is a San
Mateo native in former Serra star Collin
Theroux. A transfer from University of
Nevada, Theroux has served as an exceptional
defensive backstop this season while anchoring the Mustangs cleanup spot with eight
home runs, the most of any hitter in Northern
California.
While CSM doesnt boast prototypical
power, its offense has proven methodical and
effective at pushing runs across the plate.

SCOTS
Continued from page 11
two of the first three batters she faced in the
first inning.
In the second, however, Carlmont got to her.
Kondo led off the inning with a single to left
and came around to score on Mailey
McLemores triple to the left-center field gap
for a 1-0 Carlmont lead. McLemore was facing
an 0-2 count when she hammered the next
offering.
Lauren Racioppi followed with a two-strike,
RBI single to left to drive in McLemore for a 20 Scots lead.

Cadona settled in quite nicely after that, retiring nine of the final 11 batters she faced.

LOCAL
Continued from page 1
With an additional $5.5 billion slated for
K-12 schools and community colleges, the
countys representatives in Sacramento said
local students, teachers and educators will
undoubtedly benefit from the additional
support.
Still, many feel theres room for improvement based on Thursdays release.
With Brown picking up on the federal
earned income tax credit model, a concept
proposed in the Legislature this year, some
of the areas lowest wage earners could
receive some reprieve.
I think its the governor recognizing
that while we have a rebounding economy
and the innovation economy has been good
for a lot of folks, many of our citizens have
been left behind, said Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco.
As the funding would only apply to individuals who earn less than $6,580 or for
families of three or more who bring in
$13,870 or less, its questionable whether
many San Mateo County residents will qualify.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, said hes pleased with the budget revisions but knows theres still more work to
be done.
In San Mateo County, one of my concerns has been income disparity and the
growing gap between those who are doing
very well in the county and those who are
struggling, Gordon said. The governors

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
administration said would help as many as
825, 000 families and up to 2 million
Californians.

May revise is a good starting point for

negotiations. I know the concept of earned
income tax credits has been something that
those of us in the Democratic party in the
Assembly have been pushing and I think we
would like to see it go further and we may
have conversations with the governor
about that.
Byproducts of the wealth disparity in the
county have manifested through a lack of
affordable housing and traffic congestion,
Mullin said.
While pending legislation seeks to form a
sustainable source of funding for affordable
housing by charging a flat fee for filing certain real estate documents, there are some
budgetary funds outlined through the distribution of Cap and Trade funds.
About $400 million is allotted for affordable housing through sustainable communities programs which Gordon said would
likely give priority to projects such as transit-oriented developments that help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
The governors budget proposal provides
a total $1.6 billion for public transit, highspeed rail and sustainable community development but Mullin said he hopes the
Legislature will do more to address the
regions traffic problems.
With regard to congestion on the 101
corridor, I remain hopeful and optimistic
that were going to have a transportation
infrastructure funding package as part of the
eventual budget adoption. But that will
require a two-thirds vote, so we really need
bipartisan cooperation, said Mullin, who
authored pending legislation aimed at
relieving congestion along the countys
main highway.
Its just a straight deliverance of funding
to people who are working very hard and are
earning very little money, so in that sense I
think it does a lot of good things, Brown
said of the tax credit.
The average tax credit would be $460 a
year with a maximum credit of $2,653 for
families with three or more children, to
complement the federal tax credit program.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first

published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower

costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or make pre-planning arrangements
please feel free to call me and my staff at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in
Millbrae at (650) 588-5116. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may

After issuing the states first ever conservation mandates, its no surprise Brown followed up with an additional $2.2 billion for
drought preparedness.
The governor as well as the Legislature
have prioritized and realized the need to take
quick and decisive action on the drought.
Weve been prodding the governor to do
more and do it sooner rather than later and I
think hes certainly doing that in his
revise, Hill said.
Drought measures include $660 million to
support flood protection measures and
addressing climate change, $472.5 million
for regional efforts that increase local supply reliability through stormwater, recycled
water and groundwater storage projects as
well as promoting conservation. Another
$268 million has also been allotted for
grants supporting safe drinking water and
recycled water projects, according to the
budget.
Gordon, a longtime proponent of preparIt would be available to individuals with
incomes of less than $6,580, or up to
$13,870 for families with three or more
dependents.
The governors new plan reflects higherthan-expected tax revenues, most of which
by law must go to public schools and filling
Californias rainy day account.
The budget includes $68. 4 billion in
2015-16 to meet the states school funding
guarantee, up from $65. 7 billion in
January. Browns office said that amounts to
an additional $3,000 per K-12 student compared with 2011-12.
Brown also reached agreement with
University of California President Janet
Napolitano on an in-state undergraduate
tuition freeze for at least two years in
exchange for an extra $436 million in
state funding for the university system to
offset pension costs. The 10-campus system could still raise tuition for non-residents and students earning professional
degrees.
Browns updated budget maintains his initial plan to increase the universitys $3 billion base budget by $120 million, or 4 percent, and does not include any new money
to expand in-state enrollment.
The budget sets aside $3.8 billion in
2015-16 to help California weather the next
financial downturn, to be evenly split
between deposits into the voter-approved
rainy day fund and paying down debts,
including the UC pension liability.
I dont want to get caught in the jaws of
the persistent fiscal instability of the state
government of California, he said. We
know a recession is on the way. ... Is it next
year? Is it four years from now?

THE DAILY JOURNAL

ing for climate change and sea level rise,
said hes pleased to see potential funding
opportunities for county planning efforts.
We need to begin thinking about adapting to climate change and I think some of
the drought package, his water package, in
the May revise will help us in that regard,
Gordon said. It goes to everything starting
with planning efforts and then looking at
moving towards specific activities and
projects.
Gordon noted the expense of needing to
adapt wastewater treatment facilities, which
are located at sea level and will need significant retrofitting.
One area that didnt make it into the governors budget revision was funds to support
increased Medi-Cal reimbursements for doctors, Hill said.
We keep increasing health care coverage
for people, but were not creating greater
access for them to realize that benefit
because so few physicians take Medi-Cal or
accept the Medi-Cal reimbursement. Its
$16 per visit, its the lowest in the country
and its unacceptable, Hill said.
With the state on track to meet the June
30 deadline for the governors signature,
local representatives remained confident in
the road ahead.
Its confirmation of what we suspected
for a few months now, that we have a strong
economy thats continuing to recover and
were moving toward a strong budget surplus and we are getting the balance right
with regard to paying down debt, but also
reinvesting in education, Mullin said. Its
a fiscally responsible, balanced package.
So Im very optimistic were getting that
balance right.
The restrained approach won praise from
Republicans in the state Legislature.
It takes responsibility to hold the line
on growth during years like this, said
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, RDiamond Bar.
Fellow Democrats and social welfare
advocates are expected to continue pressing
the governor to expand child care, health
care and social programs that they say will
help close the gap between rich and poor.
Childcare and higher education are
important investments to fortify the future
of Californias economy, Senate President
Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, said
in a statement. We can and will do more to
ensure our budget reflects these priorities.

The budget also includes:

$2.2 billion for programs to conserve
water, respond to emergency conditions and
expand local water supplies in the drought.
$1.2 billion increase in revenue from
the states landmark effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions for a total of $2.2 billion. Californias cap-and-trade program
was expanded this year to include fees on
gasoline, natural gas, propane and heating
oil.
$62 million to begin enrolling lowincome
immigrants
in
Medi-Cal,
Californias version of Medicaid, on the
assumption that President Barack Obama
will prevail in a court battle over his executive order.
$38 million in ongoing funding for the
California State University system and an
additional $600 million above January projections for community colleges.

Its Curtains for some in musical whodunit at Hillbarn

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Curtains, the musical being

presented by Hillbarn Theatre, is
by John Kander and Fred Ebb, the
team behind the great Cabaret
and Chicago.
It was the last collaboration
between composer Kander and
lyricist Ebb, who died in 2004
before its completion. Rupert
Holmes, who wrote the book
based on a concept by the late
Peter Stone, stepped in to write
the final lyrics in conjunction
with Kander.
The show opened on Broadway
in 2007 and received eight Tony
nominations even though it wasnt up to the standards of
Cabaret and Chicago.
Hillbarns production has some
echoes of the shows less-thanideal genesis. At least it did on
opening night, when a program
insert listed substitutes for two

minor characters and a key member of the creative team.

Whether those changes reflect
inherent problems or just unforeseen circumstances isnt known.
What is known is that opening
night had some troublesome
design issues and a sense that
more rehearsal time might have
helped this show directed by
Nancy Fitzgerald-Metzler, who
also co-designed the lighting.
Curtains is a whodunit as well
as a tribute to show people. Its set
in 1959 in a Boston theater where
a new musical comedy, Robbin
Hood of the Old West, is being
staged prior to moving to New
York.
Robbin Hoods leading lady,
Jessica
Cranshaw (Deborah
Rosengaus), cant sing, act or
dance, but she faints during the
curtain call and is taken to a hospital. Shortly thereafter, the cast
learns that she had died of poisoning.

Police Lt. Frank Cioffi (overly

low-key Ross Neuenfeldt) orders
everyone to stay there because
theyre all possible suspects.
During his investigation, he
becomes attracted to an actress,
Niki Harris (Brandy Collazo). In
addition, he soon has two more
murders to investigate.
In a subplot, the shows composer, Aaron Fox (Christopher M.
Nelson), is unhappy that his longtime lyricist and lover, Georgia
Hendricks (Katherine Stein), has
become involved with someone
else.
Other key characters are brassy
producer Carmen Bernstein (Sasha
Motalygo); her performer daughter, Bambi Bernet (Jessica
Maxey); and director Christopher
Belling (Raymond Mendonca, the
casts only Equity actor).
Most of the singing is at least
adequate, but Motalygo as

returned to his own postapocalyptic world and created
an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece thats primed to become a modern
classic.
In this anarchic world, Max Rockatansky
(Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in
the prologue, hes a man whose past traumas
have reduced him to a single instinct:
Survival. Maxs only humanity seems to be
in his haunting visions of a child asking for
protection. Otherwise, hes gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesnt so much speak.
He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom.
But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the war lords of the wasteland put a
fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a
hood ornament to chase after the rogue
Furiosa (Charlize Theron). Shes managed
to escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh KeaysByrne, who also played Toecutter in Mad
Max).
Much of the film is spent with the women,
and eventually Max, on the rig as they race
across the desert away from the painted
fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking
redemption for untold sins, has made it her
purpose to bring the wives to the green
place an idyllic haven she was taken
from as a child.

Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough,

they do so without

death often seems like not just the easier
option, but probably the more appealing
one, too.
Painted and scarred to the point of disguise, Nicholas Hoult is also a standout as
Nux, an unlucky, but endearingly devoted
Immortan Joe foot soldier who delivers on
one of the few actual character arcs of the
film.
Ultimately, Mad Max: Fury Road is
almost aggressively anti-character, though.
The dialogue is beautifully lean and purposeful, allowing what does exist to have maximum impact. For Theron and Hardy, their triumphant performances are is in their eyes.
In the end, it is the bright, fresh visuals
juxtaposed with the impressively choreographed and always surprising action and
pacing
that
make
the
film.
Cinematographer John Seale (The English
Patient) has infused the barren landscape
with a feast of striking, saturated colors,
while Miller has made a two-hour race
across the desert into a truly riveting mustsee and see again.
As we drive full speed into another summer (and half-decade) of sequels and interconnected universes, Miller has reminded us
that blockbusters have the potential to not
only be art, but radically visionary even
the fourth in a series. What a lovely day,
indeed.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

THE TUSHANWAN PAGODAS: MODELS FROM

THE 1 9 1 5 PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL
EXPOSITION, AT THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT
MUSEUM. A century ago, San Francisco hosted a worlds
fair that drew more than 18 million visitors to a 635-acre
wonderland of exhibits constructed along the citys northern
Bay shore. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition,
officially a celebration of the recently completed Panama
Canal, was a demonstration of the citys remarkable recovery
from the devastating earthquake and fire of 1906. Domed
palaces housing international exhibitions of art, culture and
industry represented a microcosm of the world at large.
The Chinese Republic, barely 3 years old, was a key participant in the fair with a 2.5-acre pavilion that included a
pagoda, an elaborately carved gateway, two teahouses and a
replica of Beijings Hall of Supreme Harmony. China was
also well represented in the Palace of Education by 84 handcarved models of pagodas located throughout China an
exhibition of remarkable craftsmanship by teenage boys and
young men working at Shanghais Tushanwan workshops.
Now, for the first time since their original presentation at
that 1915 Exposition, the Tushanwan pagodas are exhibited
together at the San Francisco Airport Museum in The
Tushanwan Pagodas: Models from the 1915 Panama-Pacific
International Exposition.
Tushanwan, which translates to Earthen Hill Bay, refers
to the historically Catholic district that was on the outskirts
of Shanghai 100 years ago. The Catholic community included a woodshop, led by Bavarian-born Brother Aloysius Beck
(1854??1931), that was part of a Jesuit-run vocational arts
and crafts training school for orphaned boys. Brother Beck
wished to produce a comprehensive study of the Chinese
pagoda the multi-tiered structure with upturned eaves. The
presentation of the models in San Francisco was to demonstrate the quality of training the Jesuits were providing at
Tushanwan. Hand-carved from blocks of teak and other
woods, and sometimes elaborately painted, most models are
accurate reproductions of pagodas at a 1:50 scale. While
many depict pagodas in their pristine state, others are ren-

dered with all the signs of age and neglectmissing roof

panels, broken cornices and overgrown vegetation. After the
1915 Exposition, the models were purchased by The Field
Museum of Chicago and shipped to storage vaults. Rarely
shown, and never exhibited as a set, they remained largely
out of sight until their deaccession by the museum and purchase in 2007 by a private party who desired to share them
with the public.
The Tushanwan Pagodas: Models from the 1915 PanamaPacific International Exposition may be viewed at
Departures, Pre-Security, at the San Francisco Airport
International Terminal through Oct. 25. No airline ticket is
required to enter the display area.

MILLER
Continued from page 17
harsh dystopian landscape of Mad Max in
Fury Road, both a sequel and a reboot.
Once you create characters, the imaginary
world is following you stalking you, as it
were in the deep recesses of your unconscious, said Miller in a recent interview from
his home in Australia. Shooting the film was
in many ways very familiar, but in the three
decades that had passed since the last one,
everything has changed. The world has
changed. Weve, as film audiences, changed.
Cinema has changed. Film language has
changed. And I dare say Ive changed.
Mad Max: Fury Road replaces Mel
Gibson with Tom Hardy and welcomes newcomer Charlize Theron as Furiosa, a woman
piloting a truck called the War Rig. With a
budget of about $150 million, its a more
extravagant summer spectacle than previous
Mad Max films. Shooting on Fury Road
was forced from its native land by unexpected
rains in the Outback, decamping to the sands
of Namibia for an arduous eight months of
shooting.
Miller had spent the intermediate years
mainly making family films (Babe,
Happy Feet) and occasionally trying to
mount a fourth Mad Max. It nearly happened in 2001 with Gibson, and at one point,
an animated film was contemplated. But in the
end, Miller was back in the desert, in his late
60s, crashing cars by the dozens.
Its both a wise mans action movie, coming from the wisdom of a wise elder, and at the
same time has the youthful recklessness and
anarchy of a young spirit whos prepared to
challenge himself, says Hardy. If Obi-Wan
Kenobi could make an action movie, this
would have to be it. Or Yoda.
Fury Road is otherwise true to the lean,
elemental Mad Max aesthetic. Max, a Ford
Falcon-driving loner, navigates a neoMedieval wasteland where fuel and water are in
scant supply. The heavy metal mayhem of
Mad Max has inspired musicians as varied
as Tupac and Motley Crew, and in the years
since the last Mad Max, a cottage industry

THE DAILY JOURNAL

of tamer dystopia has developed.
You see it over and over again, not only in
movies but in music videos and games, says
Miller, now 70, of the films influence. Its
an evolutionary process and one thing builds
on the next.
Mad Max, however, separates itself from
the post-apocalyptic pack in its cinematic
bravado. Its a more inventively shot blockbuster than most, and rather than spend an
hour on muddled exposition, it jumps right
into the action. A Western on wheels, is
what Miller likes to call it; Fury Road is
essentially a relentless three-day car chase.
Its a deliberate approach by Miller, who
cites the uninterrupted frenzy of Buster
Keaton set pieces, early silent Westerns,
Steven Spielbergs The Duel, the chase
classic Bullitt and the chariot race of Ben
Hur as inspirations.
The strategy on this film was to make it
one long chase and see what you could learn
about the characters, their relationships and
the world on the run, says Miller. It relies
on all the tools of cinema. I like to think
weve made a movie movie.
Instead of relying on digital effects, Miller
pushed his crew and stuntmen to do as much as
possible without the aid of CGI. That gives
Fury Road a gritty realism often missing
from action films, but also meant a lengthy,
grueling production way back in 2012, followed by extensive reshoots in late 2013.
It made for a technically and logistically
hard shoot, says Theron, who remains dedicated to Miller. This is so his world and this
world has been inside him for so many years.
This is his baby. Hardy, who is attached for
three more Mad Max sequels, should they be
made, is intensely enthusiastic about the
wildness of the film and enthralled to be a
cog in Millers imaginarium.
Its a crazy sort of surreal and heightened
world within Georges head, which is fully
transmuted and fleshed out now on a multimillion dollar level, says Hardy. Its been
sort of turbo-boosted. Its been blown into an
ambitious orchestration of technicolor psychosis. For Miller, being back in his apocalyptic hell-scape was a happy homecoming.
This was a movie you couldnt kill with a
stick, he says. It just kept on wanting to be
made and eventually it was.

the site off East Hillsdale and Foster

City boulevards were broken into four
phases. Sares Regis is now asking the
council and residents to consider up to
65 or 70 for-sale townhomes instead
of the 17 units and 172,943 square feet
of commercial space previously agreed
upon for the final phase.
In place of up to eight story commercial office buildings, Sares Regis
proposes three-story residences with
enclosed garages about 14 of which
would be set aside as affordable.
Instead of an estimated 800 employees, the two- to three-bedroom townhomes would likely house no more
than a few hundred residents, said Dave
Hopkins, Sares Regis Pilgrim Triton
project manager.
While hundreds of citizens have
shown up at recent meetings to oppose
other housing proposals that would
increase density such as plans that
included a new marina or redeveloping
various shopping centers, some argue
Sares Regis proposal will be an
improvement.
We feel that the facts of our proposal are significantly different from the
facts of previous proposals brought to
the city over the last year in the sense
that were proposing to reduce density
from an existing approved project,
Hopkins said.
Although the creation of housing as
been a controversial topic among
Foster City residents already frustrated
with traffic congestion and school
overcrowding, Sares Regis proposal
has garnered support.
Mayor Art Kiesel said he was actually opposed to the density at Pilgrim
Triton while serving on the Planning
Commission in 2005 and isnt a big
fan of the buildings currently being
constructed on the site. However,
Sares Regis proposal would reduce the
mass of the approved buildings as well
as the number of people using the site,
and ideally result in fewer impacts,
Kiesel said.
Given the choice of what they now
have approval for versus what theyre
proposing, theyll be lower height,
fewer cars, addition of [14] affordable
units and theyre going to use less
water, Kiesel said.
Yet members of the Foster City
Residents
for
Responsible
Development contend the City
Council should slow down.
The fact is, every house that they

approve, they make traffic and school

overcrowding and the water supply
problems worse. And until we get a
better grip on the massive amount of
homes theyve already approved
until we can absorb that, digest that
and then assess the impacts, we need to
take a breather on even one new
house, resident Bob Cushman said.
Others argue even if the proposal
were approved after a lengthy planning process, the units wouldnt hit
the market until 2018, providing time
to find solutions to traffic and school
overcrowding.
Former mayor Pam Frisella supports
Sares Regis proposal and said many
residents are quick to assume to the
worst of developers. While supportive
of the proposed Pilgrim Triton
changes, Frisella added no other units
should be approved until the impacts
of the project are realized.
But things have changed since the
project was approved and the
Peninsula has a well-known jobshousing imbalance, Frisella said.
The only solution is housing. And
when you say housing people get hysterical but theyre not looking at the
issue. They think housing causes more
traffic when its really quite the opposite it allows people to be closer to
their work so theyre not on the road,
Frisella said. I think what scares people is that they think developers are
the bad guys.
Hopkins said with the councils
direction, the affordable units would be
targeted to city and school district
employees while the market-rate units
would be marketed to employees of
Foster Citys growing companies like
Gilead, Visa and Illumina.
The price of the for-sale units would
be based on the market while the
affordable apartments would likely run
in the mid-$300,000 range, Hopkins
said.
Based on Mondays meeting, Sares
Regis would then decide whether to
turn in a formal proposal and embark

Friday May 15, 2015

23

on the planning process starting with

a new traffic study, Hopkins said.
A preliminary study indicated of the
2,000 vehicle trips that would have
been generated by the commercial
space, the new housing concept would
reduce that to around 600 trips, according to Sares Regis.
Foster City has seen extraordinary
job growth, as the entire region has,
over the last five years. And that
imbalance has created tremendous congestion on the freeway. And to the
extent that someone can work and live
in Foster City, find a home they own,
they will not need to commute on
those freeways, Hopkins said.
Cushman said the already dense
entire 20-acre site will be home to hundreds of residents commuting to work
and commercial space would help offset congestion as traffic generated by
offices would be coming in as residents are leaving. If housing were substituted for office space, residents and
workers would find themselves on the
road at the same time, Cushman said.
While school overcrowding remains
a concern, most agreed a solution
would require Foster City and San
Mateo voters to support a bond measure.
Per standard school impact fees set
by the districts, Hopkins said the
Sares Regis proposal would contribute around $380,000 and the company will do what it can to work with
the local school districts.
Cushman said the amount is
peanuts compared to how many students will be generated by the additional housing units.
Mayor Charlie Bronitsky previously
wrote in an email that he wanted further
study to truly understand whether the
proposal could be a benefit and
Hopkins said he hopes residents will
keep an open mind.
We would appreciate an opportunity
to have this idea judged based on facts
developed through the planning
process, Hopkins said. Weve been
in Foster City for over 20 years and
were going to be here for a long time
into the future and care deeply about
the community.
The Foster City Council will meet

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Edith R. Douglas AKA Edith A. Refrow
Case Number: 125682
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Edith R. Douglas. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kevin
Douglas in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Kevin Douglas
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 16, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section

Taliban attack underscores difficulties facing Afghan leader

By Lynne ODonnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan An audacious

Taliban attack on a Kabul guesthouse that
left 14 people dead, including nine foreigners, underscores the difficulties President
Ashraf Ghani faces in providing even basic
security following the withdrawal of international combat troops from Afghanistan.
The hourslong siege, which ended early
Thursday, was the deadliest in Kabul since
the insurgents launched their annual
spring offensive against Ghanis admin-

RAISES
Continued from page 1
The district and its teachers traveled an
arduous path to arriving at the tentative
agreement, coming to the precipice of a
work stoppage, which teachers had threatened last month if officials had been unwilling or able to offer a raise.
Much of the strife in negotiations
stemmed from the districts ongoing deficit,
which has caused officials to approve trimming more than $2.5 million from the
budget over coming years to maintain fiscal
solvency.
During an initial round of budget reductions, the district Board of Trustees had
agreed to lay off 17 teachers, as part of
roughly $1.9 million in spending cuts for
the upcoming school year.
Under the tentative agreement though,
some of those educators who suffered job
cuts may regain their position, as the deal
guarantees class sizes will be reduced in
coming years.
Teachers will also see an increase in the
professional development days sponsored
by the district.
Board President Kevin Martinez said the

istration in late April, sparking fierce battles that have forced the government to
concentrate resources on security at the
expense of desperately needed reforms.
An American, a British citizen, an
Italian, four Indian nationals and two
Pakistanis were among the dead. Five
Afghans were also killed and seven were
wounded, including a policeman.
By targeting a guesthouse popular with
international residents and visitors, the
Taliban also stoked fears they were renewing their strategy of killing foreigners,
which will further undermine Ghanis credibility in his efforts to bring peace, stabili-

ty and prosperity not only to Afghanistan

but to the broader region.
The attack shows that Kabul is very vulnerable. An increase in attacks on Kabul
can paralyze life here, and if there is a cascade of attacks in Kabul, it can hurt the
government, said Haroun Mir, an independent political analyst.
Gunmen stormed the Park Palace Hotel in
downtown Kabul as guests gathered
Wednesday evening for a concert by a popular Afghan musician attended by an audience that included diplomats, business
people, charity workers, academics and
others.

As gunfire echoed around the guesthouse

in the Shar-i-Naw neighborhood near
United Nations compounds and a foreignrun hospital the area was rapidly surrounded by heavily armed police and special forces in armored Humvees.
Some 60 people were held hostage until
the early hours of Thursday morning.
Sporadic gunfire and a series of muffled
explosions were heard over about five
hours, before Kabul police chief Gen. Adbul
Rahman Rahimi announced the siege was
over. Firefighters quickly moved in to clear
the building, which was cordoned off as residents moved out.

agreement is indicative of how essential

educators are to the district, and that both
sides were able to work through the difficult
budget climate to find a resolution.
I think its important to affirm both how
important this is to the teachers, but also
how the district truly has wanted to be in a
position to come to an agreement, he said.
The deal came about after a marathon session of bargaining between the two sides on
Tuesday, May 12, in which district officials
and representatives from the union met for
12 hours.
Negotiations had ground to a halt after the
opposing parties repeatedly butted heads
over teachers request to accept their first
raise in eight years, which officials countered by offering a pay cut that would have
been used to close the hole in the districts
budget.
The district released a statement on
Wednesday, May 13, praising the efforts on
both sides of the bargaining table to come
to an amenable solution.
The San Bruno Education Association
and the San Bruno Park School District
reached a tentative agreement on all outstanding issues after a tremendous amount
of hard work and a joint commitment to
finding a mutually agreeable solution to the
parties contract dispute, according to the
prepared statement.

Also at the board meeting, trustees agreed

to stop outsourcing transportation for special education students, and allow classified
staff to run the program, which could save
the district in the neighborhood of
$250,000.
The district was unable to account for the
cost of the program because it is still in its
formative stages, and officials will need to
develop a more defined vision of how the
transportation service will run before
applying any savings.
The board also agreed to shutter all district libraries in the coming year and lay off
all workers who run the facilities.
Trustees took official action as part of a
larger effort to trim $700,000 from the districts spending over coming years, under
the agreement that the board would be quick
to reinstate library services should the districts financial footing improve through an
influx of funding from the state.
Officials said they understand the necessity of district libraries, but need to ax them
to develop a budget that the San Mateo
County Office of Education can approve,
with the ultimate intention to keep them in
place.
Th e b o ard as a wh o l e ap p reci at es t h e
i mp o rt an ce o f l i b rari es i n t h e San
Brun o Park Sch o o l Di s t ri ct , an d t h es e
cut s are n o t eas y fo r an y o f us , s ai d

Trus t ee Hen ry San ch ez.

Trustee Patrick Flynn echoed those sentiments.
At this time, these cuts need to be made,
he said. But the libraries will be the first
thing to come back.
The board also agreed to cut maintenance
workers, share two principals between four
campuses and consider shutting down a yet
to be identified school in coming years,
should the districts finances not improve.
But banking on an influx of money seems
like a safe bet, as the most recent revision
of Gov. Jerry Browns budget contains significant funding for state public schools
next year.
Browns most recent proposal includes
$68.4 billion next year for state schools,
$2.7 billion more than what had been initially projected.
Martinez said the improved projection
from the state is encouraging for the coming year, but is unlikely to forever cure the
ailments that face the community.
The improved environment in the state
helps, said Martinez. Its just that San
Bruno is a low revenue district in a very
expensive county, so this will continue to
be a challenge.
