OKLAHOMA HIT HARD AGAIN BY TWISTERS

San Mateo County school of-
cials are advocating to change a
proposed rule in Gov. Jerry
Browns May budget revision that
could direct excess property tax
collected here for education to fund
state court costs.
The local money is in the mil-
lions and could be used for needs
such as preschool or career techni-
cal education, ofcials contend.
But the money is currently required
to be locked
away with the
new threat of
being used
elsewhere.
B r o w n
released a
revised budget
Tuesday which
continued to
focus on educa-
tion funding reforms. For the San
Mateo County Ofce of Education,
a newly proposed rule could mean
losing local tax dollars to fund
state courts something county
Superintendent Anne Campbell
said seems to be philosophically
against the governors message of
local control. Hours after learning
of the -newly proposed education
code, county ofcials launched an
online petition asking legislators
to not only keep the money in San
Mateo County but also allow it to
be accessed.
Called Dont Freeze Out Our
Kids, the effort to access local
property tax funds was sent out by
Campbell and Joe Ross, county
Board of Education trustee. It sim-
ply asks local people to sign an
online petition, write a letter of
their own to a local legislator,
share information through social
media and become an advocate for
the cause. After less than 48 hours
online, the petition had gained 91
signatures and six independent
letters of support.
There are millions and millions
of dollars that were contributed
every year [to education] that were
frozen and at the same time were
talking about cuts, Ross said in
describing a difcult budget les-

For a second time in as many
weeks, San Carlos planning com-
missioners will consider creating
a new zoning district that would
drastically limit large-scale busi-
nesses without a direct economic
benet on land ofcials prefer to
keep available for a hotel at the
citys gateway.
The Planning Commission was
asked two weeks ago to consider
the change to its industrial area
zoning but delayed making a rec-
ommendation until city staff can
tailor the proposal more narrowly
to the land it wants to protect.
At the last meeting, Planning
Commissioner David Silberman
agreed and said more public input
is desirable.
Lets nd out what folks want to
use this for, he said.
The original proposal came two
weeks after the City Council opted
against extending an emergency
zoning limit imposed in March
after a developer expressed inter-
est in building a substantial t-
ness center on three of ve parcels
at Holly Street and Industrial Road
designated as the landmark hotel
site. With a 3-2 vote, the council
denied the extension out of con-
cern it would impact existing busi-
ness owners without a clear-cut
outcome for the end of the 120-day
moratorium.
Planning Commission Chair
Scot Marsters voiced a similar
concern about the proposed
restrictions at the last meeting.
It feels like were being very
unfriendly to the businesses, he
said.
Marsters said the city has been
talking about a hotel at its gate-
way for a quarter of a century with-
out one materializing.

With electric car sales rising in
the area, especially Tesla models
and the Nissan Leaf, Foster City
officials are looking to partner
with private businesses to add sev-
eral charging stations in the city.
The city is currently considering
the installation of an electric
vehicle charging station at the
library after a company offered to
install one for free but then pulled
the offer back as federal grants
dried up.
The City Council will decide
tonight whether to spend up to
$14,000 to purchase and install
the charging station at the library
but Vice Mayor Charlie Bronitsky
told the Daily Journal Thursday the
item will likely be continued to a
later date as the Chamber of

O.J. Simpson lawyers say
he is closer to freedom
LAS VEGAS The latest high-
stakes court hearing for O.J. Simpson
in the glitzy capital of big gambles
has come to a close with the former
football stars defense team feeling
condent that their client is closer to
getting out of prison.
The last time Simpson was in a Las
Vegas courtroom, he was convicted of
kidnapping and armed robbery. Now,
with a new team of attorneys on his
side, he has mounted a cool, methodi-
cal case that his former lead lawyer
botched the 2008 trial so badly that a
new one should be granted.
He has a very good chance now,
said Ozzie Fumo, one of the attorneys
who represented Simpson. I dont
think the state was able to counter any
of our issues.
Simpsons lawyers presented evi-
dence that showed Miami-based attor-
ney Yale Galanter shared responsibili-
ty for the ill-conceived plan for the
NFL Hall of Famer and former
Hollywood star to take back personal
items and mementos from two sports
collectible dealers in a Vegas hotel
room. They also built a case that he
deliberately sabotaged Simpsons
chances for acquittal and appeal to
protect himself and his own self-
interests.
When the weeklong hearing ended
Friday there seemed to be little doubt
that major mistakes
were made when
Simpson was sen-
tenced to nine to 33
years in prison on
12 criminal counts.
The real question is
whether enough
was done to meet
the high standard
needed for District
Court Judge Linda Marie Bell to free
Simpson from state prison and grant
him a new trial.
The nal witness she heard from was
Galanter, who defended his actions in a
tense courtroom standoff with
Simpson and his new representatives
Friday.
As Simpsons legal team worked to
portray Galanter as hungry for the
money and fame that could come from
an O.J. trial, the lawyer said it was
Simpson who agreed to spend more
than a half a million dollars on his
defense, turned down a plea bargain
and decided not to testify.
I felt a genuine fondness for O.J.
and was devastated when he lost,
Galanter said.
However, when Simpson testified
Wednesday, he recounted his hotel
room confrontation with memorabilia
dealers, and his interactions with the
lawyer he blamed for his conviction.
He said he trusted Galanter based a
long professional relationship. He
was my guy, Simpson said.
He said Galanter made no mention of
a plea deal and advised him not to tes-
tify in his own defense when other
lawyers said it would help.
Galanter, when he was on the stand,
said Simpson brought too much bag-
gage to testify given his 1995 acquit-
tal in the murders of his wife Nicole
Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald
Goldman. Following the trial of the
century Simpson was ordered to pay
$33.5 million when he was found
liable for the killings in civil court.
Galanter also testied that Simpson
conded to him that he had asked two
men to bring guns to the hotel room in
September 2007, and Simpson knew
he screwed up.
Simpson lawyer Fumo, however,
said that claim wasnt credible.
Galanter tried to throw O.J. under
the bus, but it was inconsistent with
the entire defense he presented, Fumo
said. At trial Galanter had said
Simpson never ordered guns to be car-
ried and didnt see rearms in the room.
Simpsons lawyers have a high legal
burden to prove their case under a writ
of habeas corpus, which relies on
showing not only that his lawyers
work was ineffective but that if he had
acted differently it would have changed
the outcome.
But there is another key issue
conict of interest.
An actual conict is a violation of
the right to counsel, said Jennifer
Carr, a criminal law professor at the
University of Nevada Las Vegas.

n 1769, the Spanish Empire needed to
secure a rmer hold on the land they
claimed in Alta California.
An expedition was set up in Baja
California with Gaspar de Portola in com-
mand. He and his explorers arrived in San
Pedro Valley in November of that year,
weary from seeking the Monterey harbor
that had been recorded on maps made more
than 150 years before. They had missed the
bay they were seeking but, in their error,
discovered a completely unknown body of
water. It was interesting to the explorers,
but they paid little attention as they were
instructed to nd the supposedly superior
harbor of Monterey. After nally accom-
plishing this goal, the seat of government
was established in Monterey. The newly dis-
covered peninsula was designated a mission
outpost and military garrison to secure the
Spanish position from other foreign gov-
ernments.
Little did they realize the importance and
potential of the land and a large body of
water they had accidentally came upon in
1769. In 1776, after much preliminary
exploration along the peninsula, a Mission
outpost was erected at the northern tip of the
peninsula (Mission Dolores), and at the
southern end of the peninsula (Mission
Santa Clara). The distance was within walk-
ing ability of a day, if the trip began early in
the morning.
Fields, metals, sand, solid and loose dirt,
mud, creeks and willow elds had to be tra-
versed to reach the missions in either direc-
tion. The easiest path along the coastal
foothills in many places was established
early. The one large mountain barrier that
loomed ahead of them was negotiated by
passing it to the west where they were was a
large gap, called the Portezuela by the
Spanish, that passed through the sandy soil
and numerous sand dunes that had built up in
the area from the constant eastward ow of
wind from the ocean. When the top of the
hill (Daly City) was reached in the gap, a
rest was usually taken and the pleasant sur-
rounding view could be appreciated during
the brief rest before continuing to the south
or the north. This hill attracted an unknown
entrepreneur in the 1800s who build a tav-
ern at the top for travelers to rest and par-
take of food and drink. Called the Abby
House, it lasted many years and refreshed
many travelers who trekked the Mission
Road.
In the 1700s, the Mission was estab-
lished in San Francisco, and the community
set about growing the food needed to main-
tain themselves at this outpost of the
Spanish Empire. The cool and foggy weath-
er, coupled with limited good soil, did not
furnish enough food for the growing com-
munity. Remembering the beautiful, fertile

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to 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 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Cristian Gonzalez had a unique plan in life
to get through without getting noticed
and go to work.
He didnt see himself going to college.
Gonzalez, now 17, was happy just being a
member in the band literally. Today, the
soon-to-be Hillsdale High School graduate
has a different outlook.
Cristian is one of those students who
ies under the radar. He has not won any
awards during high school, but is now nal-
ly receiving the recognition he deserves,
said counselor Rebecca Bucher. Since
ninth grade, Cristian has consistently
earned high grades, and this past semester
he had the highest GPAof his high school
career. When he learned that he was receiv-
ing this honor [of being named a Great
Grad], he was completely caught off guard
and said, I didnt think anyone noticed.
Gonzalez is planning to attend San Jose
State University in the fall to study criminal
justice. The 180-degree turn came during his
freshman year. It was the work of his mom
that made the change.
Shes a janitor. She took me to work one
day and I saw how hard she worked, said
Gonzalez.
His mom had always stressed education,
but thats when it sunk in. Gonzalez realized
education was the key to struggling less.
Thats the vision Gonzalez has for himself
now; work hard in school so that life can be
a little easier. He and his brother are the rst
in his family to go to college and their
mom, who raised them, stressed the impor-
tance of education.
Looking back on his life thus far,
Gonzalez realized things were often nan-
cially difcult for the family. By a miracle,
things always worked out. There have been
times when everyone needs to chip in. The
family has, at times, done without a utility.
And, rarely do they have the newest of any-
thing.
Gonzalez said the experience has helped
him truly appreciate everything as well as
understand why his mom has always said
education is important.
Gonzalez admitted it took such a long
time for him to get it.
As a child, Gonzalez was a guy who was in
the background. He was happy just not caus-
ing a problem. In fth grade, Gonzalez was
introduced to music. He took up the clarinet
at the suggestion of his older brother Brian.
Brian has since apologized for the sugges-
tion noting the instrument isnt the easiest
to play. While at Abbot Middle School,
Gonzalez realized he really liked playing
the clarinet. Once at Hillsdale, Gonzalez
really began enjoying his role in concert
band and then, this year, as part of the wind
ensemble.
Until high school, Gonzalez had been an
average student cruising through. With the
wake-up call from his mom, that all
changed. He began studying, reaching out
to teachers for help and seeing a stark
improvement in his grades. Now hes gradu-
ating with a high A average something
he never thought possible.
Admittedly, Gonzalez said that without
his moms support, he would most likely
have graduated but with a lower GPA and
plans to simply go to work. Now hes keep-
ing an open mind. Gonzalez is looking for-
ward to studying criminal justice and learn-
ing about the types of careers he can have in
that eld.
The Hillsdale High graduation will be held
at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 30 in the great
court. Tickets are required.
Great Grads is in its eighth year proling one grad-
uating senior from each of our local schools.
Schools have the option to participate. Those that
choose to participate are asked to nominate one
student who deserves recognition.

Biggest life lesson
learned thus far:The power of hard work
and inspiration. I was inspired by mom to
do better in school so I could have a bet-
ter future, for I had not put any effort into
my schoolwork because I didnt care much
about my future. Once my mom showed
me what my future would be like without
a college education, I began to work hard
so I could have a successful future.

George J. Blondino
September 21, 1913 May 8, 2013
Resident of Carmichael, CA
George J. Blondino Beloved husband of
Lillian Blondino his wife of 72 years who
passed in 2008, beloved father of George
S. Blondino of El Dorado Hills and Doreen
Foote of Dunnigan, California, and loving
father-in-law of Leona V. Blondino and
Richard Foote. He was the loving grandfather
to Denise Urdahl, Annette Foote, Dennis
Foote, Michael Blondino, Vicki Blondino,
Stacie Enns, and 14 great grandchildren and
4 great-great grandchildren. George was a
native of San Francisco and lived in Redwood City for over 53 years before moving
to Carmichael, California where he resided at Carmichael Oaks an Assisted Living
facility. Georges move to Carmichael Oaks was so that he could be close to a
convalescent facility where he was able to visit and care for his wife. His daily
visit to his wife, who was suffering from dementia, was inspirational to the entire
Blondino family.
He was a kind, gentle man, who worked hard his entire life to support his young
family, especially during the Depression years by taking on any job he could
find. The struggled ended when he was employed by the City and County of San
Francisco where he retired at the age of 59. He also worked as a personal trainer
on a part time basis at Dennis Nelsons Health Club in Redwood City. He spent
his retirement years traveling with his wife Lillian visiting many tourist locations
in the Western United States, and family in Friday Harbor, Washington. Theyre
favorite vacation spot was to the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii.
Remembering George: So when you think of his smile, and his laugh, especially
after a good story, may you be reminded of all the good times we shared with him.
When you talk about the kind of person he was, you will feel even prouder than ever.
And when you hear all the stories people tell about him, it will bring you an even
richer understanding of how much he meant to everyone lucky enough to know him.
As a remembrance to George his family wishes that any donations in his memory be

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles
politicians have struggled for
more than ve years to regulate
medical marijuana, trying to bal-
ance the needs of the sick against
neighborhood concerns that pot
shops attract crime.
Voters will head to the polls
Tuesday to decide how Los
Angeles should handle its high
with three competing measures
that seek to either limit the num-
ber of dispensaries or allow new
ones to open and join an estimat-
ed several hundred others that cur-
rently operate.
Election Day in the nations
second-largest city comes just two
weeks after a pivotal state
Supreme Court decision gave
cities and
c o u n t i e s
the author-
ity to ban
pot shops.
More than
200 local
municipal-
ities have
bans, and
some cities that were awaiting
guidance from the states highest
court have taken immediate action
this month and begun shuttering
clinics.
While some cities have been
able to manage pot collectives,
Los Angeles fumbled with the
issue and dispensaries cropped up
across the city as a result.
Councilman Ed Reyes said Los
Angeles has run into trouble where
other cities such as Oakland
havent because of the sheer size
of LAand a movement that is more
organized and litigious.
The pie is so big here, so thick
and rich, that we have many peo-
ple making a run at it, Reyes
said. Regardless of which meas-
ure you support, the city is going to
have to focus on enforcement. I
think as long as we dont have
enforcement, its just letters on
paper.
City councilors passed an ordi-
nance in 2010 to cut the number of
shops from roughly 1,000 to 70.
But numerous lawsuits were led
against the city by dispensaries and
the ordinance was allowed to expire
last year, leading to another surge of
pot shops.
Last summer, the city approved a
ban, but two months later repealed
it after enough signatures were gath-
ered to get the measures on the bal-
lot.
Proposition D would cap the num-
ber of collectives that opened prior
to 2007 about 135 and raise
taxes slightly; Proposition E also
would do the same but raise no new
taxes; Proposition F wouldnt limit
the number of pot shops but put
stringent controls such as audits and
background checks on employees.
It also raises taxes.
The proposition with the most
votes wins, but only if it collects a
majority. If none of the measures
receives more than 50 percent, the
issue could bounce back to the
City Council.
Proposition E is essentially dead
on arrival because its supporters
are now backing Proposition D,
which has been endorsed by sever-
al council members. Proposition D
backers said the initiative meets
the criteria of neighbors and the
medical marijuana industry by lim-
iting the number of clinics.
Theres been absolutely no
control, and thats what has hurt
the city, said Brennan Thicke,
who runs a pot clinic called the
Venice Beach Care Center. At this
point, voters need to nally decide
this issue. Theres been an over-
whelming belief in this city that
medical marijuana should not go
away.
Those who support Proposition
F say the medical marijuana indus-
try should be an open market, and
the measure does more to regulate
the industry than its counterpart.
They also note that if some of the
135 clinics under Proposition D
later close, they wont be
replaced.
Fate of pot shops left to voters

SACRAMENTO California
businesses would be prohibited
from ring or retaliating against
employees who take advantage of
the states paid family leave pro-
gram under a job-protection bill
moving through the Legislature.
The legislation would protect
workers who use the California Paid
Family Leave insurance program,
which allows qualied employees to
take up to six weeks off with partial
pay. Supporters say nearly 37 per-
cent of workers who needed the
leave did not apply for the benet
for fear of being red, angering their
employers or hurting their chances
at promotion. They cited a 2011
study by the left-leaning Center for
Economic and Policy Research
based in Washington, D.C.
This is a right that employees
pay into, said Sen. Mark
DeSaulnier, D-Concord, the author
of SB761. So all the bill says is
you cant retaliate for people taking
it.
The leave is part of the State
Disability Insurance program,
which is funded through employee
paycheck deductions.
Employer groups including the
California Chamber of Commerce
and the California Restaurant
Association oppose the bill. It
would transform an employee-paid
insurance program meant to replace
lost wages into a protected leave of
absence, a move that increases costs
to all employers, especially small
businesses, said Jennifer Barrera, a
lobbyist for the chamber.
Barrera noted that the state already
has existing job-protection laws.
When you are out on a separate
statutory leave of absence or an
employer-provided leave of
absence, you can access these wage
replacement benets to compensate
you if its an unpaid leave, she
said.

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. Some
lucky person walked into a Publix
supermarket in suburban Florida
over the past few days and bought
a ticket now worth an estimated
$590.5 million the highest
Powerball jackpot in history.
But it wasnt Matthew Bogel. On
Sunday, he loaded groceries into
his car after shopping at the
Publix. He shook his head when
asked about the jackpot.
Its crazy, isnt it? he said.
Thats so much money.
Its an amount too high for many
to imagine. Compare it to the
budget for the city of Zephyrhills:
This years gure is just more than
$49 million. The winning
Powerball jackpot is 12 times
that.
Whoever has the ticket hadnt
come forward as of Sunday after-
noon.
This would be the sixth Florida
Powerball winner and right now,
its the sole winner of the largest
ever Powerball jackpot, Florida
Lottery executive Cindy
OConnell told the Associated
Press. Were delighted right now
that we have the sole winner.

NATION/WORLD 7

BEIRUT Syrian troops pushed
into a rebel-held town near the
Lebanese border on Sunday, ght-
ing house-to-house and bombing
from the air as President Bashar
Assad tried to strengthen his grip
on a strategic strip of land running
from the capital to the
Mediterranean coast.
With the regime scoring gains on
the battleeld, the U.S. and Russia
could face an even tougher task per-
suading Assad and his opponents to
attend talks on ending Syrias 26-
month-old con-
f l i c t .
Washington and
Moscow hope to
start talks with
an international
conference as
early as next
month, though
no date has been
set.
Government forces launched the
offensive on the town of Qusair just
hours after Assad said in a newspa-
per interview that hell stay in his
job until elections effectively
rejecting an opposition demand
that any talks on a political transi-
tion lead to his ouster.
Even though the regime and the
main opposition group have not
yet committed to attending the con-
ference, U.N. Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon said Sunday that he is
hopeful it can take place very
soon, possibly in early June. In
addition to the U.S. and Russia, he
said he has spoken with Britain,
France, China and other key par-
ties.
Previous diplomatic initiatives
have failed, in part because of divi-
sions within the international com-
munity and because the regime and
the armed opposition believed they
could achieve more on the battle-
eld than in talks. Russia and the
U.S. have backed opposite sides in
Syria.
Still, neither regime forces nor
rebel ghters have been able to
create significant momentum
since the uprising against Assad
erupted in March 2011 and last
year escalated into a full-edged
civil war.
The rebels control large rural
areas in the north and east of the
country, while Assad has success-
fully defended his hold on the cap-
ital, Damascus, the coastal area
and parts of Aleppo, Syrias
largest city.
Before Sundays offensive,
Qusair had been ringed by regime
troops and fighters from the
Lebanese militia Hezbollah, an
Assad ally, for several weeks.
Qusair lies along a land corridor
between Damascus and the
Mediterranean coast, the heartland
of Assads Alawite sect, an offshoot
of Shiite Islam. Many rebel ghters
are Sunni Muslims and Qusair, over-
whelmingly Sunni, had served as a
conduit for shipments of weapons
and supplies smuggled from
Lebanon to the rebels.

JERUSALEM Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus senior
coalition partner says that reach-
ing a nal peace agreement with
the Palestinians is unrealistic at
the current time and the sides
should instead pursue an interim
arrangement.
Finance Minister Yair Lapids
assessment, delivered in a published
interview Sunday just days before
the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry, throws a contentious
idea into the mix as the U.S. search-
es for ways to restart peace talks.
It remains unclear whether the idea
of a temporary
arrangement will
be raised during
Kerrys visit
later this week.
In March,
American of-
cials conrmed
that an interim
a r r a nge me nt ,
while not their
preference, was
one of the ideas being explored.
With the gaps between Israel and
the Palestinians on many key
issues seemingly unbridgeable,
pursuing a Palestinian state with
temporary borders has emerged as
an option in recent months, par-
ticularly among Israelis searching
for a way out of the status quo. The
Palestinians have repeatedly
rejected this option, fearing an
interim deal that falls short of
their hopes will become perma-
nent.
In order to allay Palestinian con-
cerns, Lapid told the Yediot Ahronot
daily that President Barack Obama
should set a three-year timeline for
determining the nal borders of a
Palestinian state. As a gesture to the
Israelis, he also called on Obama to
endorse the position laid out by
President George W. Bush in 2004,
allowing Israel to keep some of the
Jewish settlements it has built on
occupied lands.
Israeli seeks interim deal with Palestinians

WASHINGTON The president
of the Associated Press Sunday
called the governments secret
seizure of two months of reporters
phone records unconstitutional
and said the news cooperative had
not ruled out legal action against
the Justice Department.
Gary Pruitt, in his rst television
interviews since it was revealed the
Justice Department subpoenaed
phone records of AP reporters and
editors, said the move already has
had a chilling effect on journalism.
Pruitt said the seizure has made
sources less willing to talk to AP
journalists and, in the long term,
could limit Americans information
from all news outlets.
Pruitt told CBS Face the
Nation that the government has
no business monitoring the APs
newsgathering activities.
And if they restrict that appara-
tus ... the people of the United
States will only know what the
government wants them to know
and thats not what the framers of
the Constitution had in mind when
they wrote the First Amendment,
he said.

The 1-percenters
Editor,
Gov. Brown is taking a conserva-
tive look and a restrained view of
California spending, is stated in the
article Aconservative outlook: Gov.
Brown takes retrained view of
California spending in the May 15
edition of the Daily Journal. He is
planning to save $1.1 billion or 1
percent of the expected revenue in the
new budget year. One percent! I now
will sit back in amazement and gasp
for some more clean air. Do the tax-
payers realize that this, after all the
new taxes, is thrown in the new budg-
et bucket? Would you buy a used car
from that man?

Foster City
Foster City: a missed
opportunity
Editor,
In the mid 70s, our family moved
to Foster City, a planned communi-
t y. At that time, there was one trafc
light in town at Foster City and
Hillsdale boulevards, as well as very,
very few tall trees. However, we all
embraced our new town, and the
notion of having single families,
townhouses, apartments, parks and
shopping centers spread out across
the city was a noble idea.
Over the course of many years, we
have watched as the city has lost
more and more strip malls and shop-
ping centers, while the amount of
dense housing with increased popula-
tion has grown and grown. I can only
imagine what Hillsdale Boulevard
must be like each morning.
Charter Square evidently will make
for more urban growth. The loss of
the post ofce at this location, as
well as the shops there, is a real
shame.

Darrell Issa, the opportunist
Editor,
How opportune for Darrell Issa, the
Republican representative from
California, to now attack Democrats
about the terrorist attack in Libya. He
loves to paint Democrats in a bad
light, but never mind his criminal
past. If anyone remembers, he is the
one who funded the questionable
recall of former governor Gray Davis.
Darrell Issa really wanted to be gover-
nor of California in the worst possi-
ble way. It certainly was the worst
way, because when Arnold the
Terminator entered the race, Darrell
had to pull out. Mr. Issa cried like a
baby when he explained his reasons
for exiting the election. Now, he is
doing his best work trying damage
the Obama administration and block
any attempt for Hillary Clinton to run
for the presidency.
He also forced Obama to re the
head of the IRS about questionable
tax breaks for conservative organiza-
tions like the Tea Party. As far as I
know, tax-exempt groups are sup-
posed to be charitable organizations
that provide food and care to the
poor, not tax breaks for the rich.

W
hen it comes to California
government, we should
never let the perfect be the
enemy of the so-so. In that spirit,
Gov. Jerry Browns revised 2013-14
budget has a few things to praise.
Its not built on blackmail the
appalling but successful approach
Brown took with a 2012-13 budget
that would only work if voters
approved higher taxes, with schools
taking a huge hit if voters declined.
The new spending plan doesnt call
for higher taxes and, in places,
reects the scal prudence that the
governor has mostly shown since
returning to his role as state chief
executive.
But it simply ignores the giant pen-
sion underfunding crisis affecting the
California State Teachers Retirement
System. And its most contentious
aspect seeking to direct more funds
to schools with struggling English
learners pairs a good idea with a
awed premise.
The good idea is that Californias
future workforce in many ways is
going to be dened by the students
who are now in school and mil-
lions of them struggle in reading,
writing and speaking English. So
they must be helped.
But the awed premise is that
school quality is primarily driven by
school spending. Ination-adjusted
per-student spending is far higher
than it was 30 years ago, when the
release of the Nation at Risk report
triggered the U.S. education reform
movement, yet our schools are hardly
far better. School quality is a function
of many things, but perhaps most of
all an intense focus by school boards,
superintendents and principals on
high-quality teachers. Giving more
money to struggling schools ensures
nothing.
In a telephone interview with edito-
rial writers Tuesday, Brown chal-
lenged that perspective. He said more
money and subsidiarity essen-
tially, smart and thoughtful local con-
trol are the keys to improving
schools. The governor was asked why
he thought local control would work
better than it did before the reforms
triggered by the Nation at Risk
report in the 1980s and No Child Left
Behind in the 2000s, given that a key
factor driving those reforms was that
local control often led to a focus on
adult employees instead of on stu-
dents.
Brown responded by ridiculing top
down policies that presumed people
in Washington or Sacramento are
wiser than the teacher, the principal,
the superintendent and the school
board.
This is a talking point, not a poli-
cy. It reects a painful naivet about
how schools work in California. We
live in a state in which teacher unions
are so powerful that a 1971 law requir-
ing that student performance be a fac-
tor in teacher evaluations has been
ignored by most districts for decades
a state in which most teacher
tenure evaluations are cursory and
teacher job protections are so formi-
dable that Los Angeles Unied
believed it had no choice but to pay
classroom sex predator Mark Berndt
$40,000 to get him off the payroll.
Instead of touting subsidiarity,
Brown should face reality. When
unions run school districts, top
down education policies are often the
only way to protect the interests of
students.
State budget reects Browns K-12 confusion
No fading
away
G
eneral Douglas MacArthur in his bitter farewell
speech to Congress said old soldiers never die,
they just fade away. But a more tting quote from
the famous general might be I shall return. This phrase
among the more famous in American history was
MacArthurs statement to reporters shortly after his escape
from Corregidor and arrival in Australia in World War II and
his promise to return to the Philippines. Luckily, in San
Mateo, some of our best and brightest dont fade away but
return to public service.
Most recently, Jim
Nantell, former Burlingame
city manager, former San
Mateo assistant city manag-
er and one-time re chief
and park and recreation
department head, has come
back to San Mateo County
after what was supposed to
be a life of leisure in the
wine country as a country
gentleman while wife Chris
rode horses.
Nantell is back as interim
head of the countys Parks
Department.
In a note to his former
colleagues in Burlingame, Nantell announced last month,
Well you were all correct. Retirement is too boring for me.
Just wanted to share with you that I will be working as the
San Mateo interim parks director for the next six to eight
months. Returning to my roots. One of Nantells main
jobs will be to supervise the opening of the new Devils
Slide Park.
Then, early in the year, Nantells former boss and former
San Mateo city manager Arne Croce, after just a few months
of retirement with plans to write a family history, entered
the nonprot world as the new head of the Peninsula Family
Service Agency. Croce has too much talent and energy not
to share.
And last year, John Maltbie, longtime San Mateo county
manager, was rehired on a temporary basis and then rehired
again (Ive lost count on how many rehires there have
been). Anyway, Maltbie is back in a familiar place, the
Board of Supervisors know they are lucky to have him at the
helm, and all seems well at County Center.
***
But there are some new faces in town. In Burlingame three
women, all newcomers, now have the top slots: Lisa
Goldman as city manager, Kathleen Kane as city attorney
and Carol Augustine as nance director. All have assumed
these jobs in recent months. According to Councilwoman
Terry Nagel, they are dynamos who are whipping the place
into shape. The new city manager is getting all city staff
reports on the web and plans to provide video of all City
Council and Planning Commission meetings. She also
wants to add agenda managing software that will do away
with lots of paper. The new attorney, Kane, is tackling code
enforcement issues by developing an administrative code
enforcement policy. Meanwhile, new nance director,
Augustine, is researching web-based payment solutions for
city utilities, business licenses and alarm permits; and
preparing major nancing plans for downtown improve-
ments, parking facilities, a huge library renovation, the
101/Broadway interchange and a new recreation center.
***
He hasnt faded away and he hasnt returned to San Mateo
County, but a familiar face, former San Mateo County super-
visor Ruben Barrales, is making news with his new organi-
zation, GROWElect. His goal is to make California
Republicans more likable for Latinos, especially by encour-
aging more Latino Republicans to run for ofce and support-
ing them when they do. Its a tough sell. Not only because
of the anti-immigration law backed by then Republican
governor Pete Wilson in 1994 but because of the attempts
of Republicans in Congress to stall immigration reform.
***
Some updates on last weeks column about potential can-
didates in November: I saw Bob Grassilli, current San Carlos
councilman, and Inge Tiegel Doherty, former San Carlos
councilwoman, at the Samaritan House gala last week. Both
informed me that they planned to run. This year, Samaritan
House tried something new. They auctioned delicious look-
ing desserts which were on display. Tables which came up
with the most funds had their rst choice. No one was a
loser, especially Samaritan House which garnered $9,000
just from the dessert caper. Kitty Lopez, veteran head of the
organization, was honored for her years of service. Lopez is
not fading away. Shes the new head of the First 5
Commission in San Mateo County. And the San Mateo
Parks and Recreation commissioner who could be a con-
tender for San Mateo City Council is Cliff Robbins, not
Roberts.

By Bernard Condon
NEWYORK Its the narcissist rally.
Sure, there are plenty of forces pushing
stocks higher record corporate earnings,
small investors nally buying again, signs
the U.S. economy may be strengthening,
central banks ooding the nancial system
with money.
But you may want to spare a thought, and
a healthy dose of worry, for what is one of
the biggest, and least appreciated, reasons
for the rally: buybacks.
Flush with cash and a world of opportuni-
ty at their doorstep, companies have decid-
ed theres nothing more attractive than
themselves. So, theyre offering big money
to buy back their own stock. This year, big
U.S. companies have given the go-ahead
for $286 billion of buybacks, up 88 percent
from the same period last year, according to
Birinyi Associates, a market research rm.
If the pace continues for the rest of the year,
the tally will exceed the record set in 2007.
Every manner of company is caught up in
the buying binge, including home-
improvement chains, makers of farm equip-
ment and jet engines, airlines, sellers of
soft drinks and of hard liquor alike. Not one
to miss a hot trend, Apple recently author-
ized as much as $50 billion of buybacks.
Investors like buybacks because they
suggest companies think their stock is
cheap. They also help reduce the number of
shares outstanding, which automatically
increases earnings per share. And higher
earnings per share often, though not
always, lead to rising stock prices.
But buybacks are also crucial to the rally
for a reason thats not widely known.
Companies are one of the few big stock pur-
chasers nowadays. Nearly every other big
player in the stock market has been selling
more than theyve been buying.
Pension funds have been selling. Local
and state governments have been selling.
Investment brokerages have been selling.
And, yes, until recently, even Main Street
investors.
You can see this in the data released by the
Federal Reserve each quarter, and its a sea of
red save for corporate buying, that is,
buybacks plus purchases of other compa-
nies. In total, U.S. companies, not count-
ing banks and other nancial rms, have
bought more than $1 trillion of stock in the
five years through 2012, net of stocks
theyve issued.
Experts note that companies may not
spend all the money they have authorized
on buybacks. But with investors clamoring
for companies to return cash to them, either
in dividends or buybacks, the odds are high
that many will.
However much they spend, each dollar of
buybacks appears to be having a greater
effect on raising the prices of certain
stocks. Thats because fewer shares are
changing hands each day. On Wall Street,
its referred to as a drying up of liquidity.
And like in any market, a purchase or sale
when fewer people are trading can push
prices up and down much more.
DirecTV bought $1.4 billion of its own
shares in the rst quarter, or 7.8 percent of
all trades in the companys stock, according
to data from Birinyi Associates. DirecTV
rose 12.8 percent in the same period, two
points more than the Standard and Poors
500. IBM bought $2.6 billion of its shares
in the rst quarter, or 5.6 percent of what
was traded. It rose 11.8 percent.
Stocks move up for all sorts of reasons,
so the exact impact on prices of individual
stocks when companies buy their shares is
unclear. In any event, the total amount of
buybacks doesnt appear to be enough to
have a big effect on the whole market. If
companies in the S&P 500 follow through
on their plans this year, the buybacks will
amount to just 1 percent of total trading,
estimates Robert Leiphart, an analyst at
Birinyi.
Still, companies that do buy back their
own stock are seeing prices soar, and
almost immediately.
On Friday, Northrup Grumman jumped 4
percent after announcing it had authorized
$4 billion of buybacks. The military con-
tractor said it expects buybacks will cut its
shares outstanding by 25 percent by the end
of 2015.
Another big share buyer, Home Depot,
rose 5.7 percent on Feb. 26 after it
announced a $17 billion buyback program.
The S&P 500 rose 0.6 percent that day. If
the retailer spends all the authorized in its
plan, it will remove 18 percent of the shares
outstanding at current prices, which will
make the impact of a next round of purchas-
es even more powerful.
Stocks of companies that have authorized
the 10 biggest buybacks so far this year
have risen 2.2 points more than the S&P
500 in the week after their announcements,
according to Birinyi.
Funds riding the Narcissus trade suggest
the lift in prices can last for months, too.
The PowerShares Buyback Achievers and
the TrimTabs Float Shrink funds, two
exchange-traded funds, are both up 23 per-
cent so far this year. By contrast, the S&P
500 is up 17 percent.
Instead of getting excited, though, some
on Wall Street are worried.
Buybacks a big factor behind stock boom
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON Five months
into President Barack Obamas sec-
ond term, allies and former top
aides worry that his overarching
goal of economic opportunity has
been diminished, partly drowned
out by controversies seized upon
by Republicans in an effort to
weaken him.
The former White House insiders,
including longtime Obama adviser
David Axelrod, say Obama needs to
make his case anew for govern-
ments role in expanding education
and innovation
and to give, as
Obama put it in
one of his early
seminal speech-
es, every
American a
ghting chance
in the 21st cen-
tury.
Among their
suggestions is that the president
deliver a major address, perhaps at a
commencement, that once again
places his economic vision at the
center of his agenda and speaks to
what continues to be the overriding
concern of the American public.
Instead, absent major legislative
victories, Obamas second term has
become a series of small actions
overshadowed by a trio of recent
troubles over the administrations
response to the attack in Benghazi,
Libya, that killed four Americans,
the IRSs targeting of conservative
groups and the Justice
Departments seizure of Associated
Press phone records as part of a leak
investigation.
The hardest thing in the hot
house of Washington in weeks like
this is to get above the maelstrom
and really dene major issues in
your own terms, Axelrod said.
They need to nd big platforms,
whether its congressional address-
es, commencement speeches, high-
prole interviews or a combination
of those things and others.
As these Democrats see it, there
has been an arc of Obama addresses
that have spelled out the challenge
and the hope of attaining the
American Dream, from a 2005 com-
mencement address at tiny Knox
College in Galesburg, Ill., to his
speech in Osawatomie, Kan., in
late 2011, and that the time for
another one is now.
Over the last two weeks, Obama
has been trying to draw attention to
his job-creation ideas with small
events in Austin and, on Friday, in
Baltimore. The daytime visits have
been coupled with modest executive
initiatives that tend to garner local
media attention but get lost in
Washingtons attention to the con-
tentious issues of the moment.
There does seem to be a risk of
getting bogged down in noise,
said Jared Bernstein, who was part
of Obamas economic team when he
served as Vice President Joe Bidens
chief economist. He doesnt need
to get out to talk about Benghazi
and the IRS and the budget decit.
Obama urged to make economy a bigger, bolder topic
Two arrested in killing over iPad in Las Vegas
Two men have been arrested in the killing of a teenage boy
over an iPad in Las Vegas, police said Sunday.
Jacob Dismont, 18, and Michael Solid, 21, were booked
Saturday into the Clark County jail on charges of open mur-
der, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
According to investigators, Marcos Arenas, 15, was walk-
ing down a street with the iPad on Thursday when a passen-
ger got out of a vehicle and tried to steal the device from him.
Dismont is accused of trying to wrest the tablet away and
dragging Arenas toward the SUVwhen the youth wouldnt let
go of the device. After Dismont re-entered the vehicle and
Solid sped away, the teen was dragged until he fell. The vehi-
cle ran over Arenas and he died at a hospital.
I think both the public and police department share the
same sentiment that this was a senseless act of violence,
police spokesman Bill Cassell told The Associated Press.
The suspects succeeded in making off with the device, of-
cers said.
Ivan Arenas said he bought the iPad for his son less than
two months ago. The family has never had a lot, the father
said, and his son valued everything he had.
For him to lose his life over an iPad, its just not fair, he
told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Never in my life would I
imagine that me buying my kid an iPad for his birthday
would end up with him getting run over.
Gas prices up 11 cents over past two weeks
CAMARILLO The average U.S. price of a gallon of
gasoline has jumped 11 cents over the past two weeks.
The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday says
the price of a gallon of regular is $3.66. Midgrade costs an
average of $3.84 a gallon, and premium is $3.98.
Diesel held steady at $3.93 gallon.
Of the cities surveyed in the lower 48 states, Tucson, Ariz.,
has the nations lowest average price for gas at $3.18.
Minneapolis has the highest at $4.27.
In California, the lowest average price was $3.94 in
Fresno. The highest was in San Francisco at $4.07.

When the numbers get crunched
at the end of a softball game, the
only ones that matter in a box
score on the ones located under the
R as in, runs scored.
And thats a good thing for Half
Moon Bay High School.
In Saturdays quarternal game
against Carmel High School, the
Padres out-hit the Cougars 11-4. In
fact, Carmel put runners on base in
every inning except the second.
But at the end of seven innings,
it was the toughness of pitcher
Lyndsay Klimenko during a couple
of rough spots that gave the Half
Moon Bay the advantage in the run
column. The Cougars beat Carmel
4-1 and advance to the CCS
Division III semifinals where
theyll play No. 2 Soquel, Tuesday
night at PAL stadium in San Jose.
First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
The truth is, Klimenko was never
perfectly comfortable in the circle
on Saturday. In the rst, the Padres
put two runners on but No. 12 had
strike out stuff to wiggle out of that
jam. The second was her only clean
inning. And the rest of the way
through, Carmel had legitimate
chances to score and hurt the
Cougars only to see the HMB
defense thwart its efforts.
But the turning point of
Saturdays win came in the third
when Half Moon Bay scored three
runs on three clutch hits and some
fantastic base running.
Amy Francis led off with a single
and two batters later, Abbey
Donovan sliced a ball down the left
eld line that took a Cougar bounce
and put both runners in scoring
position for Chandra Anderson.
No. 1 delivered by singling to the
opposite eld, plating Donovan
and Francis to make it 2-0. After a
Klimenko walk, Anderson made
something out of nothing when
she took off for the plate following
a Kalista Leonardos strikeout. Just
like that, Half Moon Bay led 3-0.
The Padres got their lone run in
the fourth on a two-out RBI single.
But from there, it was all about
Klimenko dancing in and out of
jams. Her defense helped her out
big time, more specically in the
fth when they turned a 3-unassist-
ed, 3-6-2 double play.
The Cougar offense gave
Klimenko an insurance run in the
bottom of the fth with some more
heads up base running courtesy of
Anderson. Klimenko struck out
four in the game.

It wasnt a traditional walkoff
win for the Serra baseball team,
but a walkoff win nonetheless.
Sean Watkins single up the mid-
dle in the bottom of the fifth
inning drove in Jordan Paroubeck
to give the Padres an 11-1 lead
over Homestead and end the game
due to the 10-run mercy rule
Saturday morning in the quarter-
nals of the Central Coast Section
Division I tournament at Sacred
Heart Prep.
Offensively, we had an out-
standing approach at the plate,
said Serra manager Craig
Gianinno. We did an excellent
job of executing the plan.
The second-seeded Padres will
face No. 3 San Benito in the semi-
nals. The Haybalers beat No. 6
Mitty 5-0. The seminals will be 4
p.m. Wednesday at San Jose
Municipal Stadium.
Serra (26-6) put on a hitting
clinic against seventh-seeded
Homestead, rapping out 12 hits
and taking advantage of seven
walks, all without striking out.
Seven of the nine batters in the
Padres lineup had a hit and all nine
reached base. There were also
seven Padres who drove in at least
on run.
The Padres attack was paced by
senior left elder Paul Murray, who
went 4 for 4 with a double and
three runs driven in.
We got our hitters hot at the
right time, Murray said. Just

noon at Sacred Heart Prep. And
while the Gators hung with Pacic
Grove, they could not solve

With the win, the Breakers

SHP hung with the Breakers the
entire game, thanks to a gutty

innings, allowing six hits and

For a moment there, it looked
like Hillsdales debut in the 2013
Central Coast Section Division II
playoffs was going to be a short
one.
But in a good way.
After a quick top of the first
against St. Ignatius, the Knights
exploded for four runs on four hits
and took a lead that suggested the
quarternal matchup would be of
the mercy rule variety.
But initial appearances were
deceiving and the Wildcats made
Hillsdale sweat it out. And at the
end of seven innings, those four
runs in the first inning were
enough for the 1-2 pitching punch
that is Hillsdales Eryn McCoy and
Tori Piercucci as the Knights held
on to win 4-2.
Weve been off for a week and
you think, oh, this is easy. Well,
its not easy, said Hillsdale head
coach Randy Metheany. Its a
seven-inning game and I kind of
think they went in and kind of
shook them up a bit then we kind
of got back on track. Im proud of
the way we played. I thought we
competed well. And I think the last
couple of innings, our swings at
the plate were much better third,
fourth and fth we had some bad
swings on bad pitches.

Something like lofty expecta-
tions isnt new for the Carlmont
softball team.
So when asked to grade her per-
formance in what was a methodical
and darn-near awless win for the
Scots and Rebecca Faulkner, the
pitcher evaluated for a second and
then with a bit of a wince said:
Out of 10? Eh. Like an eight.
Lets see: seven innings, six
hits, two runs and no errors on
defense combined with six runs
and 11 hits on offense it does-
nt matter how you look at it, the
Scots are off to another triumphant
start in the Central Coast Section
playoffs by virtue of a 6-2 win
over Salinas.
I feel like I couldve been better
throwing more inside on the
black, Faulkner said. I think I
left the ball a little too much over
the plate, which is how that girl
got that home run. I felt it right
out of the release. It was kind of
like an ahh kind of feeling.

Hillsdale offense.
Riley Wells led off with a double
and then, following a Knights strike
out, Courtney Tyler came to the dish.
On the rst fastball she saw, No. 22
showed the Wildcats what a Peninsula
Athletic League co-Player of the Year
can do by demolishing the pitch to
the opposite eld and over the fence
for the 2-0 lead.
That was crushed, Metheany
said. She hit that to right center. Its
difcult to hit a ball hard to right cen-
ter. And obviously thats because the
talent she has. It just kept going and
going. Thats Courtney. Shes been
doing that for us all year.
The swing boosted the Hillsdale
bench. Sharona Mataele came up and
drew a walk. No. 24 came around to
score on a double and then Kelly
Miller traded places to make it 4-0
with a two-bagger of her own.
St. Ignatius looked primed to make
a dent on that decit in the second
when a single and an error put runners
on second and third with no one out
against Eryn McCoy. But the fresh-
man showed senior-like moxie and
got out of the jam with a zero on the
scoreboard. Tyler made a big catch in
centerfield as part of the Knights
holding the line.
We didnt really help out [Eryn
McCoy] that well, Metheany said.
We had a couple of played balls that
should have been outs and we extend-
ed the innings. Then you have to
hand it to S.I., they got a couple of
runs. The young pitchers arent
expected to strike everyone out. Its
not you have a senior pitcher out
there, theyre young. Therefore the
kids have to play well defensively
and I thought in a couple of those
innings, we hit a bit of lull.
The Wildcats broke through for
their runs in the third. Back-to-back
singles to lead off the frame had
McCoy in trouble again shes load
the bases with one out after a walk.
After a sacrice y to right made it 4-
1, an error plated S.I.s second run.
McCoy shut the door with a strikeout
to end the frame.
That inning where we struggled
I think that inning we showed a little
bit of fright, Metheany said. We
looked a little nervous, kind of like
we didnt want the ball hit to us
thats age for sure. Although I dont
ever like to use that as an excuse
because I believe in these kids. I
think theyre good. They just happen
to be young. Theyve done well so far
and hopefully well continue to put
the pedal to the metal.
From there, Piercucci shined the
brightest. The sophomore was
brought in the fourth and shut down
the Wildcats, giving up just an ineld
single in four innings of work.
Piercucci struck out four.
Hillsdales run to the CCS title
game continues with a semifinal
matchup against Mount Pleasant,
who upset No. 2 Leigh High School.
Overall, it was a huge day for upsets
in Division II Archbishop Mitty
lost 6-3 to Gilroy on the bottom half
of the bracket. The Monarchs went
into the game 25-0 on the season.
With the two top seeds losing, the
door is wide open for the remaining
four teams. The Knights are sched-
uled for a Thursday night game at PAL
stadium. First pitch will be at 7:30
p.m. following Carlmonts seminal
against Leland in Division I.
Were excited about that,
Metheany said. But you kind of just
look at Wednesdays game. You stay
focused on that game and not getting
ahead of yourself. We have to play a
very good game.

KNIGHTS
Pacific Grove scored a pair of runs in the
fourth inning and added a couple of insurance
runs in the sixth for the final score.
But even a perfect game from Nahmens would
have meant the two teams were tied at zero
because the Gator could muster little against
Cody, who threw a complete game. SHP man-
aged just three hits and while the Gators did draw
four walks, those were more than offset by 11
strikeouts.
Not that the Gators didnt have chances. They
had runners at first and second with one out in
the second inning, but Cody got out of the jam
with back-to-back strikeouts. They had runners
on first and second with two outs after back-to-
back walks to Mike Covell and Will Reilly in
the third inning, but again came up empty. In
all, the Gators stranded eight baserunners.
If you dont get that big hit early its
tough trying to keep battling back, Franceschi
said. Not for a lack of effort. The kids kept
working at it.
Nahmens, however, kept the Breakers bats in
check. They had only one hit through the first
three innings before a defensive mistake in the
fourth resulted in Pacific Grove taking a 2-0
all without benefit of a ball hit out of the
infield. An infield hit and a walk put runners on
first and second with no outs. Both runners
moved up on a steal and wild pitch and follow-
ing a strikeout, a ball was hit right to the SHP
third baseman, with the runner at third breaking
for the plate.
The third baseman failed to watch the ball all
the way into his glove, however, and it glanced
off it for an error and run scored. After a bunt
single, the Gators tried to turn a double play on
a grounder to shortstop, but the ball was hit too
softly to get the runner at first, with a second
run scoring on the play and 2-0 Pacific Grove
lead.
In the sixth, the Breakers led off the inning
with a double and a single to put runners at the
corners. Again, a ball was hit right to a SHP
infielder, this time the shortstop. With the run-
ner breaking for the plate, the throw went home
where the runner appeared dead to rights until
the throw glanced off the catchers mitt for
another unearned run. The Breakers later execut-
ed a safety squeeze play to drive in the final run
of the game.
I knew we were going to have to play near
perfect, Franceschi said. We make a mistake,
they capitalized.
Other CCS baseball action
No. 5-seed Menlo struggled all day with
Soquel starting pitcher Chris Viall, who struck
out 16 Menlo batters, but Menlo managed to
come up with some timely hits and then bene-
fitted from a call made only in high school to
beat No. 4 Soquel 4-3 in a Division III quarterfi-
nal game at St. Francis High School.
Soquel was threatening to tie the game in the
bottom of the seventh inning with runners on
first and second with one out. Agrounder was hit
to Menlo shortstop Adam Greenstein, who
attempted to turn a game-ending double play.
The runner at second was called out but the
throw to first was late.
The umpire ruled, however, the runner at sec-
ond had slid past the base in an attempt to break
up the double play a no no in high school
baseball. As such, the umpire ruled runner inter-
ference, the runner at first was called out and the
game was over.
Menlo only had four hits on the day, but man-
aged to pick up the win. Will King and Jared
Lucian both drove in runs in the second inning,
trimming Soquels lead to 3-2. Menlo tied the
game on a Greenstein hit a chopper to third. The
tying run came in to score and what turned out to
be the game-winning run came around as well
when the Soquel third baseman threw the ball
away trying to get Greenstein.
With the win, Menlo advances to the semifi-
nals for the fourth year in a row. It will play top-
seeded Palma at 7 p.m. Tuesday at San Jose
Municipal Stadium. Palma beat No. 9 Terra Nova
11-1 to advance.
In Division II play, 10th-seeded Burlingame
saw its season end with a 6-1 loss to No. 5
Willow Glen.

DENVER Juan Nicasio scat-
tered three hits over six innings,
Carlos Gonzalez and Troy
Tulowitzki each drove in two runs
and the Colorado Rockies won
their first series over San
Francisco in two years, beating
the Giants 5-0 on Sunday.
Dexter Fowler tied a career high
with four hits to help the Rockies
take three of four from the reign-
ing World Series champions.
Jordan Pacheco also drove in a run
as Colorado captured its rst series
against San Francisco since May
16-17, 2011, at Coors Field.
Nicasio (4-1) shut down one of
the top-hitting teams in baseball,
striking out five and allowing
only an intentional walk before
being lifted for a pinch hitter in
the sixth. It was only the third
time in nine starts the righty has
thrown at least six innings.
Barry Zito (3-3) couldnt get on
track as he turned in a second
straight ineffective outing. He
allowed 11 hits and ve runs in 5
2-3 innings.
Gregor Blanco and Brandon
Crawford each had two hits.
Pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias had the
other as the Giants lost their third
in a row to the Rockies after beat-
ing them 10 straight times.
Before Sunday, Nicasio had
labored in games, throwing way too
many pitches that led to early exits.
He was pretty much pitching to
keep his spot in the rotation, espe-
cially on the heels of Tyler
Chatwoods solid performance the
previous day. Nicasio could be the
odd starter out when Jeff Francis
returns from the disabled list at the
end of the month.
More outings like this only
boost Nicasios case to remain in
the rotation. He worked his way
out of a sticky situation in the
sixth, striking out Brandon Belt
with runners on second and third.
So elated was Nicasio that he
skipped off the mound and pumped
his st before making his way
into the dugout to an ovation.
The Giants concluded a six-game
road swing with a 1-5 mark in which
their starting pitching zzled and
their defense faltered. The starters
had a 9.82 ERAand the elders com-
mitted 13 errors on the trip.
This is far from the norm for the
Giants, whose rotation was so
dependable in winning the World
Series last season.
Were going to have our off days
and were going to be bad, manag-
er Bruce Bochy explained. Its a
temporary thing. You dont have the
success weve had and not be good,
these pitchers. Have to remind
themselves how good they are.
Zito struggled on Tuesday in
Toronto when he surrendered eight
runs ve earned in 5 2-3
innings. He was looking to get
back on track against Colorado, a
team he hadnt lost to since Sept.
25, 2008.
The Rockies pounced on Zito
early, scoring a run in the rst
when Gonzalez singled home Eric
Young Jr.
Colorado opened a 3-0 lead in the
fth on an RBI double by Gonzalez
and a run-scoring single from
Pacheco.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The College of San Mateo soft-
ball team had not played in the
California Community College
Athletic Associations Final Four
since 2000.
And their rst trip back turned
out to be a rough one.
The Bulldogs went 0-2 at the
Final Four, dropping games to
Palomar and Riverside Colleges,
ending their season with a 41-6
record.
In Game 1 against Palomar,
CSM could not hold on to leads of
2-0 and 3-2, eventually falling 5-4
in eight innings putting them
with their collective backs
against the wall the rest of the
tournament.
In that loss, Palomars Megan
Bartee drove in the game-winning
run with a sacrice y in the top of
the eighth inning. It was a game
in which CSM could not take full
advantage of four Palomar errors.
San Mateo got the game going
in the bottom of the rst inning
when Bulldog pitcher Michele
Pilster (31-4) helped her own
cause with a two out single to
right eld.
That would be the majority of
the offense CSM would see for the
rest of the game though, despite
having runners on base in each
inning.
Palomar meanwhile bided its
time and finally got their big
chance in the top of the sixth.
Carlie Daniel led things off with a
one-out single, moving to second
after a Brenna Parker walk. That
brought up Paige Falconieri who
blasted a ball over the left-center
eld fence to put the Comets on
top 3-2.
It didnt last long though as the
Palomar gloves betrayed them in
the bottom half of the sixth with
three errors. The Bulldogs took
advantage scoring a pair of
unearned runs to go back on top 4-
3 but perhaps they should have
done more.
The Comets came right back
though and used a one-out RBI sin-

Designated hitter Neil Sterling continued
his hot playoffs. After hitting a pair of
home runs in the Padres 11-0 win over
Sequoia in the CCS opener Wednesday, he
went 2 for 3 with an RBI Saturday against
the Mustangs. Paroubeck was 1 for 2, but
reached base two other times via walks. He
crushed a two-run double in the bottom of
the rst as Serra scored three times in the
frame. Watkins was 2 for 4 with an RBI,
Michael Tinsley was 1 for 2 with a walk and
a solo homer leading off the second inning.
Mickey McDonald was also 1 for 2 with a
pair of walks, an RBI and three runs scored.
John Murray singled and scored run while
Dalvin Martin walked twice and scored
twice. Christian Conci did not record a hit,
but he drove in a run with a sacrice y and
was also hit by a pitch.
Our offensive mindset was were going
to score a lot of runs, Gianinno said. Its
sort of pick your poison.
The Serra offense needed to be on top of
its game offensively because starting
pitcher Orlando Razo struggled in the early
going on the mound. Homestead put runners
on the corners in the top of the rst before
Razo wiggled out of trouble. In the second,
the Mustangs touched Razo for a run, cut-
ting the Serra lead to 3-1. In the third, Razo
nally found his groove and it was game
over for the Mustangs. With one out the
third, Razo hit the Mustangs cleanup hitter
with a pitch, but he was erased a batter later
when the Serra defense turned a 4-6-3 double
play. Razo went on to retire the side in order
in both the fourth and fth innings.
Serra scored three times in the rst, send-
ing nine batters to the plate. The Padres
added a single run in the second and sent
nine batters to the plate during a four-run
third to make the score 8-1. They were
retired in order in the third but ended the
game with a three-run fth.
Were really relaxed right now, Murray
said. We want to have fun, but its a grind
every day.
Added Gianinno: Its just a great per-
formance by our offense. Just a great per-
formance by our team.
SERRA
rough moment. After the shot to left eld
tied things up at 1-1, No. 13 surrendered a
walk and a single. But as was a theme on
Saturday at Hawes Park in Redwood City, the
Carlmont defense was superb and bailed the
ace pitcher out of the jam.
You have to play well defensively in
CCS, Carlmont head coach Jim Liggett
said. The teams are good. If you make a mis-
take defensively, you can be out of it right
away. Its very important. Weve lost a cou-
ple of CCS games when an error cost us.
We played great defense, Faulkner said.
I dont think we had an error. And its just
nice to know that if I gave up a ground ball,
my defense would get it. It felt really nice
being on the mound with my team.
The Carlmont offense handed Faulkner a 1-
0 lead in the rst after Jacey Phipps singled
and a Gabriela Pons walk brought Christy
Peterson to the plate. The shortstop roped
an RBI single to right eld a couple of pitch-
es later for the early advantage.
After the troubles of the third, the
Carlmont offense responded in emphatic
fashion.
Phipps led off win her second hit and
Pacheco reached base on a Salinas error.
Faulker followed with a single to load the
bases. Peterson hit the ball hard right after,
but a play at home prevented initial Scots
damage. But Kirra Loucks made the rally
really sting on the next Carlmont at-bat
when she singled to centereld to bring a
pair of runs and made it 3-1.
The big hit was Kirras, Liggett said.
She hit that ball very well up the middle. I
thought today was the day our slappers real-
ly contributed. The kids at the bottom of the
order were getting on base and creating some
problems. So, overall, the kids hit well and
had some big hits today. I was really pleased
with the way our kids played both offensive-
ly and defensively.
Danielle Giuliacci and her sacrice y to
left made it 4-1 and a Melissa Pekarek base
knock padded the lead even further.
I think once we started (hitting) we
stayed in that momentum, we had really
good energy, Faulker said. I think some-
times we get a little quiet, like our dugout
doesnt talk as much but we did a really good
job of staying on our toes, not getting
down.
The four-run cushion turned out to be more
than enough for Faulker. Salinas began the
fourth though by singling on back-to-back
at-bats. But once again, the Carlmont
defense was up to task. Peninsula Athletic
League co-Player of the Year Taylor
Yzaguirre gunned a runner down at second
and solid glove work throughout prevented
the Cowboys from getting very upset-mind-
ed.
I knew Salinas was a good team, Liggett
said. Ive seen them play and I know they
play in a tough league. So I know they play
some good ball. I thought we played very
well. I think Rebecca pitched well. But thats
a good ball club. We held them to two runs
and our kids swung the bats really well.
Carlmont added another run in the sixth
when Shawna McDonough doubled and Pons
drove her home on a two-out, ground-rule
two-bagger. Pons had another overall solid
game. She went 2-for-3 at the dish and
recorded 11 put outs at rst base.
Faulkner struck out seven, walked two and
hit a batter.
The win sends the Scots to a seminal
showdown with No. 2 Leland, who beat
Santa Teresa 1-0. That game is scheduled for
a 4:30 rst pitch at PAL Stadium in San Jose
on Thursday, May 23.

Couture emerges as leader on Sharks
SAN JOSE When Logan Couture limped
off the ice in the middle of a tied game San
Jose desperately needed to win, it looked as
if he was taking the Sharks playoffs hopes
with him.
Instead Couture managed to make it back
out on the ice to give his team an emotion-
al spark and topped that by scoring the
overtime game-winner that got the Sharks
back into their second-round series against
Los Angeles with a 2-1 victory in Game 3
on Saturday night.
Its just the latest big moment for a young
player who has emerged as a leader and per-
haps the top player on a Sharks team look-
ing to make a deep playoff run.
Logan is a huge, huge part of our team,
coach Todd McLellan said Saturday. This is
his coming out party. Nationally people have
probably started talking about him. But weve
known Logan like this for a long time.
With two days off before Game 4 at home
on Tuesday night when San Jose will look
to tie the series at 2, Couture and his team-
mates mostly stayed off the ice Sunday to
rest up and heal their wounds.

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Between the tailgate culture,
Banjo Man, and Bernie Lean,
Oakland baseball has always
played host to a fun environment.
But with the recent success of the
As bullpen, it has gotten ridicu-
lously fun.
With Oaklands late-inning
relievers Grant Balfour and Sean
Doolittle taking the mound to
their now-signature Metallica
soundtrack, the As bullpen has,
fittingly enough, emerged as a
hard-edged corps of hurlers. And
like the Bay Area-born heavy
metal supergroup that supplies the
pulsing intro music, Oaklands
bullpen is proving to be one of
the best in the business.
Theyre all out there to prove
that theyre the best, As bullpen
coach Darren Bush said. So far
theyve all done a phenomenal job
of doing that, and hopefully they
continue to have success.
Since an adverse outing on May
14, when Ryan Cook blew a save
before Oakland fell in extra-
innings 6-5 to the Rangers,
opposing hitters have been on
lockdown. The As pen surrendered
one run over 4 2/3 the following
day in Texas, then returned home
to dominate through eight shutout
innings in a weekend sweep of the
Royals.
The As grinded out a pair of 2-1
wins in each of the rst two games
of the series, before scoring a
comeback win yesterday on
Yoenis Cespedes dramatic eighth-
inning home run that proved to be
the game-winner in a 4-3 victory.
In the series, Doolittle and Jerry
Blevins each earned wins in relief.
The tandem is currently tied with
Rangers right-hander Tanner
Scheppers for the best relief record
in the American League.
Friday, Doolittle was another
benefactor of late-inning home
run dramatics, earning the win to
up his record to 3-0. Yesterday,
Blevins relied on his outfield
defense to work a scoreless eighth
in tabbing his third win of the
year. But Saturday was the gem of
the three, as Doolittle, Cook, and
Balfour teamed for three shutout
innings, facing one over the min-
imum to keep a one-run lead in
check.
You cant script it any better,
Blevins said. You get Cook,
Doolittle, and Balfour to go in
there and shut it down seven-
eight-nine. I mean, thats how we
write it up.
Balfour keeps rolling
Balfour has been on quite a roll
since May 5 of last season, as the
closer has converted 26 consecu-
tive save opportunities. But the
entire backend of the As bullpen
has been equally as effective. For a
team dead last in the ALin hitting,
and a starting rotation ranking
24th in the Majors in ERA, the
identity of the
second- pl ace
As is quickly
c e n t e r i n g
around the
bullpen. And
thats precisely
how they sum
it up identity.
I think this
team has been
trying to get a feel for who we are
as a team, Blevins said. The
longer the season goes, the closer
you get to your identity. And you
dont really know until the sea-
sons over. So were always trying
to make a name for ourselves and
win ballgames.
The As bullpen currently leads
the ALwith a 2.88 ERA. They rank
second with a 1.17 WHIP (walks
and hits per innings pitched), and
third with a .223 opponents bat-
ting average. Thats quite an iden-
tity, considering where some of
these guys were two years ago.
Balfour only assumed full-time
closing duties last season for the
rst time in nine years as a jour-
neyman big-leaguer. Also consid-
er, Cook wasnt even a blip on the
prospect radar when he emerged as
an All-Star in his rookie season
last year, after being acquired from
Arizona as a throw-in along with
Jarrod Parker in the Trevor Cahill
trade.
Every day Doolittle
Especially consider, Doolittle
was a minor-league position play-
er just two seasons ago, and didnt
establish himself as a profession-
al pitcher until last year when he
fast-tracked from Class-A
Stockton to the Majors within the
span of 18 games. Now the left-
handed workhorse is so immersed
in enduring the daily rigors of
relief work, he doesnt even recall
the last home run he hit as a pro.
And he hit a few bashing 30
homers over three years as a
power-hitting prospect.
After struggling to pitch in
back-to-back days last season,
that ability has become
Doolittles calling card this year.
To his credit, he nished the 2012
season throwing in each of the As
three nal regular-season games,
allowing just one hit while total-
ing three shutout innings. This
year he has excelled in the role
though, allowing just one run in
six outings when having pitched
the previous day.
Its his second year now, so
hes a lot more comfortable with
pitching, As manager Bob
Melvin said. He knows himself.
He knows how he feels on a partic-
ular day.
Melvin marveled at Doolittles
performance Saturday night.
Doolittle made quick work of the
middle of the Kansas City batting
order, including matchups with
No. 3-hitter Alex Gordon and
cleanup man Billy Butler.
Doolittle breezed through the
inning by throwing nine pitches,
all for strikes, to induce three
groundouts.
In the Gordon at bat, he throws
slider-slider strike one, strike
two then throws a fastball in,
Melvin said. Last year he wasnt
capable of doing that. And then
the last hitter (Butler) he throws a
changeup. So he used all his pitch-
es in an inning for the rst time
that I can remember. And not only
just used them, used them effec-
tively.
Doolittle and Blevins pace the
As with 20 appearances each, and
are among the AL leaders in the
category. Doolittle said attacking
the strike zone has been the key to
his success.
Efciency is the name of the
game, Doolittle said. The less
pitches I can throw, the more
times I can get in the game. Less
rest between outings, and stuff
like that. I mean, however I can
get em, Ill take em.
Okajima debuts
The As looked to have strength-
ened the bullpen with last weeks
call-up of veteran Hideki Okajima.
Previous to Okajimas arrival,
Coco Crisp had been the only
player in the As clubhouse with a
World Series ring. But now the
addition of Okajima makes two.
And its the same ring, as the two
played together with the 2007
Oaklands bullpen is one of ALs best

Boston Red Sox World
Championship squad. As short-
stop Jed Lowrie was also in the
Red Sox organization at the time,
splitting time between Double-A
Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket
that season.
Okajima had not pitched in the
big leagues since 2011 spending
last season in Japan with the
SoftBank Hawks until the 37-
year-old southpaw soldiered
through a scoreless seventh yes-
terday.
Cook earns rst save
Then theres Cook. The reigning
As All-Star, whose selection to
the Midsummer Classic last sea-
son caught the baseball world by
surprise. And, add retiring the hot-
hitting Gordon to his list of
accomplishments.
With Balfour unavailable yester-
day after having pitched in back-
to-back games, Cook was called
upon in the ninth inning. His
biggest test was against Gordon
the Royals leading hitter ranks
fourth in the AL with a .343 bat-
ting average who entered his
nal at bat enjoying a four-hit day.
Cook won the battle, striking out
the red-hot Gordon with a gem of a
changeup.
I think the key for [Cook] the
last couple nights has been the
changeup, Melvin said. A pitch
that he doesnt use very often. And
not only has he used it, [As catch-
er Derek Norris] makes him use
it. When a guy who is 4 for 4 and
seeing the ball like a beach ball,
to take a swing like that, it means
its a very effective pitch that hes
not looking for. So its been a key
pitch for him, denitely.
As for the identity of the As ,
their sweep of the Royals give
them a 23-22 record, moving
Oakland to the upside of .500 for
the rst time since May 8. And
gutsy weekend performances by
starting pitchers Parker, Tommy
Milone, and A.J. Grifn aside, the
most consistent dynamic of the
2013 As has been the bullpen.
The bullpen has been rock solid
as a unit, Blevins said. Its a fun
group to be a part of. Theres a lot
of pride down there. We take pride
in maintaining the lead, and keep-
ing [an opposing] offense at
bay. We kind of feed off of each
other. Its a close-knit group.

OAKLAND Three straight
one-run wins and a series sweep of
slumping Kansas City might be
just the thing to get the Oakland
Athletics going again.
A late tiebreaking home run
from Yoenis Cespedes helps, too.
Cespedes hit a leadoff homer in
the eighth inning and the As beat
the Royals 4-3 to move back over
. 500.
I would rather see us win by 10
runs ... but it makes for a little bit
more excitement, certainly at the
end, Oakland manager Bob
Melvin said. What it does for me
more than anything is it shows
some tenacity that when you get
down, you dont worry about it.
Jerry Blevins (3-0) pitched one
scoreless inning. Ryan Cook
worked the ninth for his rst save
of the season.
Cespedes hit his eighth homer,
connecting against Kelvin Herrera
(2-4). Cespedes also singled and
scored the As rst run in the sec-
ond.
Held in check by Kansas City
starter Luis Mendoza most of the
afternoon, Oakland beneted from
a costly error by center fielder
David Lough that allowed the
tying run to score in the seventh.
Derek Norris hit a leadoff single
and raced to third when the ball
skipped over Loughs glove and
rolled to the fence. One batter later
Coco Crisps sacrice y tied it.
I kind of hesitated, pulled up
and it took one of those sharp
hops and just got by me on the top
of my glove, Lough said.

he 400-square-foot learning space
inside our Center for Compassion
features several interactive ele-

tion. Kids use an actual microchip scanner
and scan a life-sized stuffed cocker spaniel
to detect the microchip inside. The idea is
to teach kids about this inexpensive, per-
manent form of pet identication in a way
they enjoy learning. Unfortunately, our
demo dog Joe Cocker is currently not
cooperating. The chip we implanted in Joe
seems to have migrated deep inside his
stufng and is no longer detectable, which
we should have guessed given the texture
of his insides. In a real dog, the chip is
implanted just under the skin between the
shoulder blades and into soft tissue. The
chip stays there for life. Joe Cocker needs
to see a vet. More likely, well send him
home with a volunteer adept at sewing.
Shell place the chip in a small mesh
pouch, and then attach that directly under
Joes outer layer. Implanting a microchip
in a real dog or cat is far less complicated;
it takes about a minute and most animals
feel just a slight pinch on the surface of
their skin as the chip is injected. We rec-
ommend that all dogs and cats have this
form of identication in addition to a tra-
ditional collar and ID tag. Local residents
can visit either of our shelters (1450
Rollins Road or 12 Airport Blvd.) with no

implanted in their pet for just $30 as they
wait. Both locations are open 11 a.m. to 7

on weekends. And, if you visit with kids
or if youre a kid at heart, visit our interac-

LOS ANGELES Star Trek:
Into Darkness has warped its way
to a $70.6 million domestic
launch from Friday to Sunday,
though its not setting any light-
speed records with a debut thats
lower than the studios expecta-
tions.
The latest voyage of the star-
ship Enterprise fell short of its
predecessor, 2009s Star Trek,
which opened with $75.2 million.
Since premiering Wednesday in
huge-screen IMAX theaters and
expanding Thursday to general
cinemas, Into Darkness has
pulled in $84.1 million, well
below distributor Paramounts ini-
tial forecast of $100 million. The
lm added $40 million overseas,
pushing its total to $80.5 million
since it began rolling out interna-
tionally a week earlier.
The Star Trek sequel bumped
Iron Man 3 down to second
place after two weekends on top.
Robert Downey Jr. s superhero
saga took in $35.2 million
domestically to lift its receipts to
$337.1 million. Overseas, Iron
Man 3 added $40.2 million, rais-
ing its international total to
$736.2 million and its worldwide
tally to nearly $1.1 billion.
While Iron Man 3 and Into
Darkness did well overseas, they
were outmatched by the debut of
Baz Luhrmanns The Great
Gatsby, which followed its
domestic debut a week earlier with
a wide rollout internationally.
Gatsby pulled in $42.1 million
overseas, coming in a bit ahead of
both Iron Man 3 and Into
Darkness.
Domestically, Gatsby held up
well at No. 3 with $23.4 million,
lifting its total to $90.2 million.
In todays Hollywood of bigger,
better sequels, follow-up films
often outdo the box ofce of their
predecessors, as each Iron Man
sequel has done. While Into
Darkness earned good reviews
and is getting strong word-of-
mouth from fans, the lm did not
quite measure up to the opening
weekend of director J.J. Abrams
Star Trek reboot from four years
ago, at least domestically.
Star Trek remains a fan-boy
movie. It doesnt seem to have the
same kind of cross-over appeal as
say an Iron Man or some of these
others, said Paul Dergarabedian,
an analyst for box-ofce tracker
Hollywood.com. Its a very spe-
cic brand, but I think the general
public would love this movie,
because its such an action movie.
But to get a hundred-million-plus
opening weekend, unless youre
Twilight, you really have to
cross over to all audiences.
Paramount points out that over-
seas business is up in many mar-
kets, though, so that worldwide,
the sequel is off to a better start.
Because of the nature of the
franchise, because of how many
movies have been made and the
various forms of the TV shows,
Im not sure that Star Trek goes
by the rules of normal sequels. I
think each movie stands on its
own, because its a unique fran-
chise, said Don Harris,
Paramounts head of distribution.
My goal was always that we grow
the franchise. Were clearly seeing
by todays numbers that the movie
is being embraced on a worldwide
basis in a way weve never seen
before.
Harris said that domestically,
Into Darkness nished its rst
weekend 6 percent ahead of rev-
enues for 2009s Star Trek,
which got a head-start with $4
million in Thursday night pre-
views to give it a $79.2 million
haul through the rst Sunday.
But Into Darkness had a full
day of screenings Thursday plus
its Wednesday IMAX business.
Unlike the first movie, which
played only in 2-D, the sequel also
had the benet of 3-D screenings
that cost a few dollars more. Yet
even with the 3-D upcharge and
the earlier debut, it came away
with just $4.9 million more than
its predecessor through Sunday.
Still, its a solid starting place
for the movie to live long and
prosper at theaters, with
Paramount hoping Into
Darkness can surpass the $385
million worldwide total of Star
Trek.
I think were well along on that
road, Harris said.

soil encountered in the San Pedro Valley (in
Pacica), the Padres established an assis-
tencia, an assisting outpost, in the San
Pedro Valley relying on the Indians of that
valley to till the soil and do the necessary
manual labor. The path rst chosen to this
assistencia was on the Mission Road a few
hundred yards below the gap at the top of
the hill. It angled off to the southwest of
this well-established road and, because it
encountered the numerous coastal hills and
ravines, it took on the characteristic of a
snake path as it ascended to the top of the
hill before descending into the numerous
valleys along the coast on the way to the
San Pedro Valley. This road, never straight
and plagued by the mud created due to the
abundant rain and moist atmosphere,
became known as the San Pedro Road.
Early in the 1930s, another road crossed
it, the Junipero Serra, but it still retained its
character and led to the coast as it had done
since the 1770s. In the 1950s and 60s,
however, it was slowly destroyed by the
housing development that required straight
streets and platted land that conformed to
the surveyor. It shrunk in length in Daly
City until today. Now, there are only a few
blocks (from El Camino west) of the once
famous and necessary road that led to the
isolated coast of Pacica.

Journal.

son he has learned as a new trustee.
This is the moment when Sacramento
is addressing education. This is a land-
mark rewrite of the funding formula for
our schools. Sacramento is focused on
education. This is the best moment to
try to x something wrong with [edu-
cation] code.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education is in an excess property tax
county. Meaning, like a basic aid dis-
trict, the county Ofce of Educations
property taxes are more than the
states per pupil allocation. Unlike a
basic aid district, the county Ofce of
Education is not allowed to spend that
extra cash except when specically
allowed under Californias Education
Code. That means most of that money
sits locked in a fund that cannot be
touched. Last year, the state did a
sweep of such funds. At the time, San
Mateo County had $14.4 million in
that account, said Denise Portereld,
deputy superintendent of the scal and
operational services division for the
county Ofce of Education. Normally,
the county contributes about $2 mil-
lion annually to the fund but it has
been much more in recent years.
This year, for example, the countys
surplus was $12 million. Some of that,
$4.5 million, was spent on regional
occupational programs and career tech-
nical education. That leaves $7.5 mil-
lion to go into a reserve that cannot be
touched locally.
Browns new proposed rule will ulti-
mately transfer the extra property tax
funds to be used exclusively to reim-
burse the state for the costs of provid-
ing trial court services and costs, until
those moneys are exhausted, accord-
ing to the legislative language.
That will leave the county with a
stagnant budget in the coming 10
years with no adjustments for cost of
living, said Portereld. Instead, the
county Office of Education will be
forced to look at making cuts rather
than using money being collected
locally.
If the Ofce of Education is given
access, the money could be used toward
a variety of local projects. For exam-
ple, about 6,000 3- and 4-year-olds in
San Mateo County are eligible for sub-
sidized preschool but there arent
enough spots, said Campbell.
Alternatively, money could be invest-
ed in growing career technical educa-
tion opportunities or reducing the
achievement gap, she said.
County education ofcials are work-
ing with local legislators to help them
understand the issue. Since that is only
three individuals, the hope behind the
petition is to get an active public
engagement involved as well to sup-
port the efforts of those legislators.
Wednesdays update did give the
county some hope. Januarys version
of the budget wouldnt even allow the
countys funding of regional occupa-
tional programs to continue as is.
Thats been addressed but the question
over excess property tax remains.

these properties and Im thinking
there might be a better use of these
properties, he said.
Atness center could possibly bene-
t the city and provide a place where
young people can do things, Marsters
said.
Current zoning does not require land
owners to seek further city review for
permitted uses such as a recreation
facility greater than 5,000 square feet
which means although ofcials may
want a hotel they have no way to pre-
vent a different use from moving in.
The proposal calls for a new zoning
district called landmark commercial
along the Highway 101 gateway. The
new zoning would indicate preferred
uses for landmark sites like large-scale
ofce complexes and hotels. The zon-
ing would also call for regional retail
and destination-oriented uses again
ofce and hotels along with ancil-
lary uses like eating, drinking and
entertainment. All other uses would
require a use permit, be allowed only
on an interim basis and be limited to
existing buildings.
The zoning amendment would speci-
fy that the uses have signicant ben-
ecial results in employment growth
and contribute to the economic sus-
tainability of the city and implementa-
tion of the citys economic develop-
ment plan.

Flynn grew up in the same area where
hes been raising his boys. The bound-
aries were different at the time though.
Flynn, 48, attended Pacic Heights
Junior High School then graduated
from Oceana High School, both in
Pacica.
Flynns wife Noreen is also an active
volunteer a partner in the education
effort. The pair met at a club. Flynn
saw her and made a promise to himself
to ask her to dance before leaving.
First, he needed to wait for a good
song. I Got the Power, was his
chance. Turns out Noreen didnt like
the song, but she said yes because
Flynn said please.
The couple married 20 years ago, the
same year that Flynn became an engi-
neer. They lived in a condominium in
South San Francisco before settling in
San Bruno. Flynn said Noreen became
a partner in the school work, adding
that his wife is a super volunteer.
Flynn hasnt done too badly himself
when it comes to volunteering.
Flynn has served as the Portola
Parent Teacher Association president
for two years and has served as presi-
dent of the San Bruno Education
Foundation since it started in 2005
a title he cannot hold while on the
school board. Parent volunteer Scott
Curtner, who was serving as the foun-
dations vice president, will assume
the role.
Flynn, chief engineer at Able
Engineering, hopes to not only bring
his years of working with parents,
teachers and staff throughout the dis-
trict to the role of trustee but also his
professional experience with facili-
ties.
When not volunteering, Flynn
enjoys camping, shing and building
things like computers with his
boys.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
NATION/LOCAL 28
By Sean Murphy
EDMOND, Okla. One of sev-
eral tornadoes that touched down
Sunday in Oklahoma turned homes
in a trailer park near Oklahoma
City into splinters and rubble and
sent frightened residents along a
100-mile corridor scurrying for
shelter.
The tornadoes that touched down
in Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa
were part of a massive, northeast-
ward-moving storm system that
stretched from Texas to
Minnesota.
At least four separate tornadoes
touched down in central Oklahoma
late Sunday afternoon, including
the one near the town of Shawnee,
35 miles southeast of Oklahoma
City, that laid waste to much of a
mobile home park.
Reports of injuries in that torna-
do strike couldnt immediately be
conrmed, as getting into the area
was made difcult by the over-
turned tractor-trailers that forced
the closure of a section of
Interstate 40.
A storm spotter told the
National Weather Service that the
tornado left the earth scoured at
the mobile home park.
Forecasters had been warning
for days that the weekend storm
system could produce tornadoes,
and emergency responders
throughout the region were keep-
ing a close eye on it Sunday night
as it moved northeastward.
Tornado watches or warnings were
in effect through late Sunday in
several states.
Dozens of homes were damaged
by the other tornadoes that
touched down in Oklahoma, but
emergency ofcials had no imme-
diate reports of injuries caused by
any of them, including the rst of
the afternoon that hit Edmond, a
suburb north of Oklahoma City,
before making its way toward
Tulsa, 90 miles to the northeast.
I knew it was coming, said
Randy Grau, who huddled with his
wife and two young sons in their
Edmond homes safe room when
the tornado hit. He said he peered
out his window as the weather
worsened and believed he saw a
ock of birds heading down the
street.
Then I realized it was swirling
debris. Thats when we shut the
door of the safe room, said Grau,
adding that they remained in the
room for 10 minutes.
In Wichita, Kan., a tornado
touched down near Mid-Content
Airport on the citys southwest
side shortly before 4 p.m., knock-
ing out power to thousands of
homes and businesses but bypass-
ing the most populated areas of
Kansas biggest city.
At this point, there are very
few reports of damage and no
reports of fatalities or injuries,
and were very grateful for that,
said Sedgwick County Emergency
Management Director Randy
Duncan.
There were also two reports of
tornadoes touching down in Iowa
Sunday night, including one near
Huxley, about 20 miles north of
Des Moines, and one in Grundy
County, which is northeast of Des
Moines, according to the Des
Moines Register. There were no
immediate reports of major dam-
age or injuries.
In Oklahoma, aerial television
news footage showed homes that
appeared to have suffered signi-
cant damage northeast of
Oklahoma City. Some outbuild-
ings appeared to have been lev-
eled, and some homes roofs or
walls had been knocked down.
When I first drove into the
neighborhood, I didnt see any
major damage until I pulled into
the front of my house, said Csabe
Mathe, of Edmond, who found a
part of his neighbors fence in his
swimming pool. My reaction
was: I hope insurance pays for the
cleaning.
I typically have two trash cans,
and now I have ve in my drive-
way.
Tornadoes level homes in Oklahoma
charging stations in the city.
Currently, the city has no charg-
ing stations.
The closest nearby are in San
Mateo, Redwood Shores and
Belmont.
Foster City already has some
neighborhood electric vehicles in
its fleet, said Councilman Herb
Perez, who supports the idea of
adding a charging station or a few
to the city.
We are a green city, Perez said.
The challenge is there is not
enough stations to serve enough
cars. At some point, you have to
put your foot in the water.
Most electric car owners install
charging devices in their own
homes with the help of an electri-
cian and Pacic Gas and Electric.
Charging stations, however, are
starting to pop up at such estab-
lishments as Walgreens and hotels
such as the Westin in Millbrae.
Nissan dealers also provide the
stations. Some charging stations
are paid for on a at fee basis, such
as per use or per hour while the
Foster City Council was consider-
ing charging no fee for the one
proposed for the library.
In the staff report on the item,
however, city staff expressed cau-
tion as to how prolic electric
vehicles will be in the future.
Some research indicates that
battery electric cars are not going
to represent a widespread, long-
term replacement of gas-powered
vehicles unless/until the technol-
ogy is developed that will allow
for self-charging, at which point
charging stations will be obso-
lete, according to the staff report.
The Foster City Council meets
6:30 p.m. tonight at City Hall,
620 Foster City Blvd.
