San Mateo County Community
College District ofcials approved
a cooperative agreement with
LocusPoint Network to fund
KCSM-TVfor up to four years then
share in prots from a future auc-
tion. Were in a very difcult situ-
ation, said Patricia Miljanich,
college district board trustee.
This would never have been our
rst choice. ... Weve been talking
about KCSM with serious concern
for a number of years. ... We have
responsibilities to look to whats
in the best opportunity to our stu-
dents. Its been a very tough bal-
ancing act.
Work to sell the station began in
2011, after the college district
opted to move forward when
efforts to eliminate a $1 million
operating decit were unsuccess-
ful.
On Wednesday, the board
approved a cooperative agreement
with LocusPoint Networks which
would allow the district to contin-
ue running the station until a spec-
trum auction can be held. The dis-
trict would get quarterly payments
starting July 1 and be a partner
sharing in the proceeds from the
auction. The Federal
Communications Commission is
considering changing how such a
station could be used by wireless
mobile operators, Trustee Dave
Mandelkern explained previously.
Such a change could also allow for
the station to be auctioned off,
possibly bringing in more than
the most recent bids.
Mandelkern agreed that the
boards decision is about giving
KCSM-TV
to be sold
College district votes for spectrum auction,
station to be funded for up to four years

most passionate medical marijua-
na advocates will be in
Burlingame this weekend at the
International Cannabis and Hemp
Expo a rst-of-its-kind event to

Whole Foods mixes
up chicken, vegan salads
AUSTIN, Texas Whole Foods
Market Inc. said that labels on a
chicken salad and those on a vegan
version were reversed at some of its
cold food bars in the Northeast.
The mislabeled salads a curried
chicken salad and a vegan curried
chickn salad were sold in 15
stores in Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and New
York, Whole Foods said. In some
locations, the company said the sal-
ads were sold in the cold food bars
where customers can scoop food into
containers, which are then weighed at
the register. In other locations, it said
the salads were displayed in the pre-
pared food sections behind glass. The
salads were sold on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The Food and Drug Administration
noted the vegan salad contains soy,
and the curried chicken salad contains
egg. It said people who have an aller-
gy or severe sensitivity to soy or
eggs run the risk of serious or life-
threatening allergic reaction if they
eat the salads.
The company, based in Austin,
Texas, said no illnesses have been
reported.
Libba Letton, a spokeswoman for
Whole Foods, said the salads were
mislabeled at a company-owned com-
missary that supplies food to the
stores. She said the mixup was discov-
ered by an employee in the prepared
food section at one of its stores.
Whole Foods is issuing a recall in line
with guidelines set by the FDA and
plans to post signs in stores Friday
alerting customers about the misla-
beled salads, she said.
Whole Foods has about 330 stores
in the U.S. and is known for selling a
wide array of organic products.
U.N. says: why not
eat more insects?
ROME The U.N. has new
weapons to ght hunger, boost nutri-
tion and reduce pollution, and they
might be crawling or ying near you
right now: edible insects.
The Food and Agriculture
Organization on Monday hailed the
likes of grasshoppers, ants and other
members of the insect world as an
underutilized food for people, live-
stock and pets.
A 200-page report, released at a
news conference at the U.N. agencys
Rome headquarters, says 2 billion
people worldwide already supplement
their diets with insects, which are
high in protein and minerals, and
have environmental benet s.
Insects are extremely efcient in
converting feed into edible meat, the
agency said. On average, they can
convert 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of
feed into 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of
insect mass. In comparison, cattle
require 8 kilograms (17.6 pounds) of
feed to produce a kilo of meat.
Most insects are likely to produce
fewer environmentally harmful green-
house gases, and also feed on human
and food waste, compost and animal
slurry, with the products being used
for agricultural feed, the agency said.
Currently, most edible insects are
gathered in forests and what insect
farming does take place is often fami-
ly-run and serves niche markets. But
the U.N. says mechanization can
ratchet up insect farming production.
The sh bait industry, for example,
has long farmed insects.
Insect farming is one of the many
ways to address food and feed securi-
t y, the food agency said.
Insects are everywhere and they
reproduce quickly, the agency said,
adding they leave a low environmen-
tal footprint. They provide high-
quality protein and nutrients when
compared with meat and sh and are
particularly important as a food sup-
plement for undernourished children,
it said.
Insects can also be rich in copper,
iron, magnesium, manganese, phos-
phorus, selenium and zinc, and are a
source of ber.
The agency noted that its Edible
Insect Program is also examining the
potential of arachnids, such as spiders
and scorpions, although they are not
strictly speaking insects.

Taking college classes while in high
school was eye-opening for Demetra Risner
who found herself exploring new topics and
nding passions that inuenced what she
plans to study in college.
Risner, an 18-year-old from San Mateo,
grew up all around the Peninsula. She start-
ed school in Daly City then went through
San Mateo schools before deciding to take
part in the Middle College program at the
College of San Mateo. Taking classes not
offered at Hillsdale High School like
criminal justice, philosophy and sociology
opened Risner up to the possibilities
after high school. Now, shes preparing to
explore international development and
social change at Clark University in
Massachusetts. Risner isnt sure what shell
do with her degree but has a keen interest in
being involved in politics and advocacy
work for women, particularly in other coun-
tries.
Demetra makes use of every opportunity
she is given and uses them to not only bet-
ter herself but better the world around her,
said English teacher Greg Lance.
Lance recalled Risner excelling in a vari-
ety of difficult situations like cracking
jokes while dealing with heat exhaustion on
a school backpacking trip and playing a
major role in making public presentations
on topics about which shes passionate on
short notice.
Before starting at Hillsdale, Risner took
part in a trip to Japan with the People to
People organization. With the help of her
mom, Risner held fundraisers and they asked
family for help to take the trip. She fell in
love.
Risner didnt really fit in with high
school. She was eager to learn more about
the opportunities of Middle College when a
friend proposed the program. It was a clean
start for Risner who started hanging out
with new people and exploring new topics
in school. It was her English teacher, Greg
Lance, who introduced Risner to the
Hillsdale Effect a club at the school that
raises funds to provide microloans for
impoverished women in Guatemala. Risner
has become an active member helping with
the cause. This summer, shell be among the
students who travel to Guatemala to see the
impact of the microloans.
Those interested in international issues at
school helped take part in a fundraiser to
cover the cost for girls to attend school in
Afghanistan. Risners contribution includ-
ed a request for donations. Shes proud to
report the group raised $1,500 in scholar-
ships for the Afghan Friends Network.
During her time at Middle College, Risner
also had a requirement of a number of hours
spent at an internship. She originally
applied to work in the ofce of U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, but had applied
late. Instead, she spent time volunteering at
the San Mateo County Democratic
Headquarters. After completing her hours,
she was called by Speiers ofce to see if she
was still interested in interning. Over the
last six months, she learned about the con-
stituents and the possibilities of helping
others through politics.
Through the Hillsdale Effect and interning
at Speiers ofce, Risner solidied her inter-
est in studying politics, possibly minoring
in women and gender studies, and continu-
ing to explore the various ways she can help
others.
The graduation for the Middle College
program at College of San Mateo will be
held 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 28 at the
College of San Mateo Theater, 1700 W.
Hillsdale Blvd., San Mateo.
Great Grads is in its eighth year proling

The new 155-unit complex known as
888 San Mateo Apartments is expected
to be completed by the end of the year,
and the union workers who are building
the project will be honored at a special
worker appreciation event today as the
project starts to take shape.
The once long-vacant former Shen
auto dealership on the border of
Burlingame and San Mateo will be
home to 155 luxury rental apartments,
some below-market rate, as the AFL-
CIO Building Investment Trust has
invested nearly $70 million in con-
structing the project.
BIT indirectly owns the complex and
contracted with Sares Regis Group of
Northern California to develop it and
manage it after completion.
Several proposals to build on the site
failed over the past decade as previous
developers could not complete their
projects, mostly due to nancing.
San Mateo ofcials grappled for years
whether to keep the site an auto dealer-
ship but started accepting housing
development proposals for the site in
2005.
As with all BIT investments, all
onsite construction will be performed
by members affiliated with local
unions.
The project created about 300 union
construction jobs.
The transit-oriented development
will be within walking distance of the
downtown Burlingame Caltrain station.
It sits on three acres and will feature
an outdoor pool and playground along
with a dog park, tness center on multi-
ple levels with underground parking.
Agroundbreaking for the project was
June 1, 2012 and construction is
expected to be completed by December.
The units will be in two buildings and
have an underground garage. It will fea-
ture 22 studios, 65 one-bedroom units
and 68 two-bedroom units.
Kinsey M. Robinson, United Union
of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied
Workers International president;
California AFL-CIO Chief Ofcer Art
Pulaski; William Nack, secretary-treas-
urer of the San Mateo Building and
Construction Trades Council; Shelley
Kessler, San Mateo Labor Council
Executive secretary-treasurer; PNC
Realty Investors President Kevin
McCarthy; and William Little, AFL-CIO
Investment Trust Corporation vice
president, will all be on hand to recog-
nize all the construction workers who
have worked on the project so far.
The AFL-CIO BITis a commercial real
estate fund with approximately $2.9
billion in assets. The mission of the
BIT is to provide competitive, risk-
adjusted returns for its pension plan
participants through investments in
commercial real estate while promoting
economic development and creating
union jobs.
Rental information for this project
can be obtained by contacting Sares
Regis at kbowman@sares-regis.com.
This project includes below-market rate
units in accordance with city of San
Mateo requirements. For information
on these units please contact Sandra
Belluomini at belluomini@cityofsan-

Estranged wife begins
attempted murder trial
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The estranged wife accused of stabbing her husband inside
their Redwood City construction rm while ensconced in
bubble wrap as protection against the
Taser she also wielded began trial yester-
day for attempted murder.
Laura Jean Wenke, of Los Altos, is also
charged with using a deadly weapon in
the Sept. 15, 2011 attack on her husband
from whom she was reportedly in the
midst of a divorce and custody battle.
Prosecutors also contend Wenke stood to
benet from $2 million in life insurance
if her husband died and was quite jealous
of his new girlfriend.
She was scheduled to begin jury trial Monday but, after
her defense attorney was denied a one-week delay to accom-
modate a doctor, proceedings officially got underway
Wednesday with submission of motions. The trial is esti-
mated to last three weeks.
If convicted, she faces approximately seven years in
prison.
On Sept. 15, 2011, Wenke allegedly arrived at the family
business, Wenke Construction, on Laurel Street and parked
a truck in front of the ofce windows to block the view of
passersby. Inside, prosecutors say she asked her husband to
look up something on his computer and, as he worked, she
stunned and then stabbed him with a folding knife several
times in the neck and torso.
After her arrest, police reported she was wearing a
mechanics jumpsuit and, underneath the clothing, her
torso was swaddled in bubble wrap, apparently as protec-
tion against being hit herself. During a preliminary hear-
ing, a police ofcer who said a to-do list of activities
related to the crime was found inside Wenkes purse.
Wenkes husband was hospitalized with injuries to his
lung, neck and chest, but later released.
Wenke remains in custody without bail.

last October due to an expired registration,
reportedly paid fines at the DMV office but
could not get his car released. On April 23,
2012, he allegedly filled

poured the liquid over
two tires before lighting
them on fire. The 2008
Cadillac Escalade was
scorched and the flames
also damaged a Honda in
an adjacent space.
Awitness reported seeing Carranza walk
away from the scene and the arson was
reportedly caught on tape. At the scene,
Carranza walked up to a police lieutenant
and said Im the one who did it, accord-

The Hub, which had computers taken by
San Bruno police in April as part of a sus-
pected illegal online gambling bust, led a
lawsuit against police and the city this week
seeking to bar the destruction of property.
At approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April
16, ofcers served the warrant at the loca-
tion after receiving complaints about ille-
gal gambling and narcotics use and sales
inside and outside the business at 444 ASan
Mateo Ave., according to police. The com-
pany, which operates under the legal name
Inet Business Services, LLC, led a 10-
page suit Tuesday explaining that 33 com-
puters were seized from the business under
the claim that they were used as illegal
gambling devices or slot machines a
point the business contends to be incor-
rect. Also, the suit includes a notice from
the city planning department to destroy the
property. The business is asking to cease
the plans to destroy its property and
instead return it.
Since the lawsuit is referring to an ongo-
ing investigation, Police Chief Neil Telford
said the city could not comment. On April
16, San Bruno police were assisted by the
San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force and
the California Department of Justice, divi-
sion of gambling.
In addition to the computers, police
seized an undisclosed amount of cash,
according to the lawsuit.
Inet Business Services, LLC, is
described as offering the rental of comput-
er time with Internet access and a broad
range of computer products like copying,
faxing and printing services, according to
the lawsuit. Inet also offers a sweepstakes
giveaway promotion on the computers
that it claims, according to the lawsuit, to
be lawful and does not make the comput-
ers akin to illegal gambling uses.
Inet Business Services honed in on the
seized computers being labeled slot
machines, which it claims the machines are
not. Within the lawsuit, the company
pointed to a 2003 case that gave three de-
nitions of a slot machine accepts pay-
ment of some kind, operates by chance,
player can win something of value which
the San Bruno business claims are not rele-
vant to the seized computers.
During the April search of the business,
two patrons were arrested for outstanding
warrants, two patrons were arrested for pos-
session of narcotics and one was arrested for
possession of a dangerous weapon (non
rearm), according to police.

A man accused of warning fellow gang-
members who allegedly killed a man mis-
taken for a rival because of his navy blue
jacket was sentenced to 17 years in prison
after pleading no contest to mayhem, per-
jury and assault with a deadly weapon.
Gerardo Aboytes, 21, took the deal to
avoid a special circumstance murder trial in
the Nov. 28, 2010 death of Julio Pantoja
Cuevas. He must also register as a gang-
member and pay Cuevas family more than
$7,500. Prosecutors dis-
missed other charges
including murder as part
of the negotiated deal.
Meanwhile, trial for
the three men accused of
actually participating in
the killing will stand
trial in October and
remain in custody with-
out bail.
Cuevas was allegedly
visiting three female friends at a Madison
Avenue apartment complex in Redwood
City Nov. 28, 2010, wearing a navy blue
jacket. Defendants Michael Rodriguez,
Jaime Rodriguez and Mario Cazarez Jr.
allegedly approached Cuevas and chal-
lenged him about what gang he claimed.
After a shoving match, Michael Rodriguez
allegedly pulled a gun and shot him several
times. Cuevas ran down an alley where he
fell and died and the suspects ed in the
opposite direction.
Aboytes was not physically at the scene
when Cuevas, 21, was shot but called his
alleged accomplices to alert them to the
presence of possible gang rivals, according
to prosecutors.
Rodriguez and Cazarez were arrested the
day after the shooting. Jaime Rodriguez, no
relation to Michael, remained at large until
June 2011 when he was arrested in Santa Fe,
N.M. for a domestic dispute in a casino.
Aboytes was tied to the case after testify-
ing before the grand jury. Prosecutors said
Aboytes also lied about having no phone
with which to call the others to the scene
which led to the felony perjury charges.

Flynn to fill vacancy on
San Bruno school board
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Longtime parent volunteer Patrick Flynn was chosen
Tuesday to ll a vacancy on the San Bruno Park Elementary
School District Board of Trustees during a
special meeting.
Skip Henderson, who retired from the
board due to health issues May 1 after 31
years, was nearly done with his term.
After the April announcement, the board
decided to appoint someone to ll the
seat through November, when
Hendersons term was to expire. Flynn,
president of the San Bruno Education
Foundation, and former trustees Russ
Hanley and Chuck Zelnik applied for the position. The vote
to appoint Flynn was unanimous.
I feel I can help create an improved link to the San Bruno
community and current board by promoting and facilitating
trust through improved communication by listening and
responding in a civil manner, Flynn wrote when explain-
ing why he applied for the position.
He will start the job Tuesday, May 28.
Flynn, chief engineer at Able Engineering, also has years
of experience with the district as a very active parent vol-
unteer. Flynn has served as the Portola Parent Teacher
Association president for two years and has served as pres-
ident of the San Bruno Education Foundation since it start-
ed in 2005. Flynn is an active volunteer throughout the dis-
trict.
In his application, Flynn described the districts strength
as its teaching staff and parents.
The teachers are dedicated to provide top-notch educa-
tion to the children. The parents are motivated to have their
schools and children achieve their personal excellence, he
wrote.
When asked what areas of the district could be improved,
Flynn pointed to community engagement and collabora-
tion to create a trusting relationship.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Browns latest budget proposes a $17
billion infusion for Californias K-12
schools over the next four years, a dra-
matic turn-around after years of teacher
layoffs and program cuts that were com-
mon during the recession.
He also wants to reshape the nancial
decision-making process by giving
local districts more authority to spend
state money as they choose. The ques-
tion now is whether all the additional
money and the freedom to decide how to
spend it will be enough to restore the
luster of Californias once-renowned
public school system.
The budget released by the
Democratic governor this week would
boost K-12 spending in the current
school year by $2.8 billion, including
$1 billion to implement an overhaul of
the states standards
for English and
math. That money,
in particular, is
encouraging to
school advocates
and teachers groups
that stand to benet
as districts invest in
professional train-
ing, technology and
instructional materials.
The proposals that are included in
the budget are really game-changers,
said Arun Ramanathan, executive direc-
tor of The Education Trust-West, which
advocates for poor and minority chil-
dren.
As important as the additional fund-
ing is the governors proposal to move
much of the decision-making about
how the money is spent away from
Sacramento to the local level, where the
administration believes ofcials are
better able to decide their own needs.
Each district ... is supposed to come
up with a plan on how theyre going to
spend these dollars, Ramanathan said.
And the plan has to have goals and tar-
gets. Parents are going to have under
the proposal a big voice in that
process, both in the committee level
and at the district level.
Students First, an education reform
group headed by former Washington,
D.C., schools superintendent Michelle
Rhee, has pushed for states to make
more information available about how
school money is spent. Without trans-
parency, its impossible to gauge
whether the state spending is sufcient
to properly educate California children,
said Rebecca Sibilia, the groups chief
nancial ofcer.
We have to also ask, Are we giving
enough money in ways that districts
can use it, because otherwise the
money means nothing, Sibilia said.

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

WASHINGTON Under mounting pres-
sure, President Barack Obama on Wednesday
released a trove of documents related to the
Benghazi attack and forced out the top of-
cial at the Internal Revenue Service follow-
ing revelations that the agency targeted
conservative political groups. The moves
were aimed at halting a perception spreading
among both White House opponents and
allies that the president has been passive
and disengaged as controversies consume
his second term.
In another action, the White House asked
Congress to revive a media shield law that
would protect journalists from having to
reveal information, a step seen as a
response to the Justice Departments widely
criticized subpoenas of phone records from
reporters and editors at the Associated Press.
The urry of activity signaled a White
House anxious to regain control amid the
trio of deepening controversies. The inci-
dents have emboldened Republicans, over-
shadowed Obamas legislative agenda and
threatened to plunge his second term into a
steady stream of congressional investiga-
tions.
Standing in the East Room of the White
House, the president said
Acting IRS
Commissioner Steven
Miller had resigned and
vowed that more steps
would be taken to hold
those responsible
accountable.
Americans have a
right to be angry about
it, and I am angry about
it, Obama said of the IRS actions. I will
not tolerate this kind of behavior at any
agency, but especially at the IRS given the
power that it has and the reach that it has
into all of our lives.
The president, seeking to keep up his
more robust prole on the controversies,
also said he would take questions from
reporters Thursday at a previously scheduled
news conference with Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Obama had addressed the IRS matter on
Monday, but his measured words left many
unsatised, particularly given that he had
waited three days to address the develop-
ments. He also repeatedly asserted that he
was waiting to nd out if the reports were
accurate, even though top IRS ofcials had
already acknowledged the controversial
actions.
Obama tries to regain control amid controversies
By Nedra Pickler
WASHINGTON Then CIA-Director
David Petraeus objected to the nal talking
points the Obama administration used after
the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic
post in Benghazi, Libya, because he want-
ed to see more details revealed to the pub-
lic, according to emails released
Wednesday by the White House.
Under pressure in the investigation that
continues eight months after the attacks,
the White House on Wednesday released 99
pages of emails and a single page of hand-
written notes made by Petraeus deputy,
Mike Morell, after a meeting at the White
House on Saturday, Sept. 15. On that page,
Morell scratched out from the CIAs early
drafts of talking points
mentions of al-Qaida,
the experience of ght-
ers in Libya, Islamic
extremists and a warn-
ing to the Cairo
embassy on the eve of
the attacks of calls for a
demonstration and
break-in by jihadists.
Petraeus apparently
was displeased by the removal of so much
of the material his analysts initially had
proposed for release. The talking points
were sent to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice
to prepare her for an appearance on news
shows on Sunday, Sept. 16, and also to
members of the House Intelligence
Committee.

WASHINGTON Congressional
Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday
challenged Attorney General Eric Holder
over the Justice Departments handling of
the investigation of national security leaks
and its failure to talk to the Associated Press
before issuing subpoenas for the news ser-
vices telephone records.
In exchanges that often turned testy,
Holder defended the inquiry while pointing
out that he had removed himself from any
decision on subpoenas. The attorney general
explained that he had been interviewed about
what he knew of national security develop-
ments that prompted the probe.
The investigation follows congressional
demands into whether Obama administration
ofcials leaked secret information to the
media last year to enhance the presidents
national security credentials in an election
year.
Its an ongoing matter
and an ongoing matter in
which I know nothing,
Holder told the House
Judiciary Committee.
The Justice Department
secretly obtained two
months of telephone
records of reporters and
editors for the AP, seizing
the records for more than
20 separate telephone lines assigned to the
AP and its journalists in April and May
2012.
Holder defended the move to collect AP
phone records in an effort to hunt down the
sources of information for a May 7, 2012,
AP story that disclosed details of a CIAoper-
ation in Yemen to stop an airliner bombing
plot around the anniversary of the killing of
terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
The attorney general called the story the
result of a very serious leak, a very grave
leak.

Bridgepointe
Shopping Center
Editor,
I am sad to hear of the plight of the
Ice Center at Bridgepointe Shopping
Center. We have known a number of
children who have enjoyed the use of
the space over the years.
If I understand the situation correct-
l y, the master plan for the shopping
center, as approved by our city of San
Mateo a number of years ago, requires
use of the site as a skating facility or
similar recreational use. Yet now we
have SPI Holdings, owner of
Bridgepointe, telling the city we are
transitioning the space to retail
goodbye, Ice Center effective June 1.
Sounds like the 7-Eleven situation
on San Mateo Drive. If a citizen was
to bypass the zoning rules or master
plan for an area, you can be sure the
resident would be ned immediately
and this would never be allowed (it
would not take a big uproar of city
residents and protests to x). We need
to ask, what makes developers think
this is OK to do in the city of San
Mateo? This is sad for the children of
our community and neighboring com-
munities. Did City Hall move fast and
hard enough to let SPI Holdings know
this is not OK?

Letter to the editor
Sacramento Bee
P
rotecting national security is
one thing. Fishing expedi-
tions that could intimidate
and impede important watchdog
reporting are another matter entirely.
The Justice Department certainly
appears to have gone too far in trying
to ferret out who leaked information
on a secret CIAoperation that foiled
an al-Qaida plot to bomb a U.S.-
bound airliner last year around the
rst anniversary of the killing of
Osama bin Laden.
According to The Associated Press,
federal prosecutors secretly seized
phone records for April and May 2012
not only from the reporters and editor
involved in that story, but from more
than 20 phone lines in the news
cooperatives ofces in Washington,
D.C., New York and Hartford, Conn.,
that house more than 100 journalists,
as well as several of their personal
phones.
While the records would not reveal
what was said during the calls, they
would show the phone numbers of
people or agencies that reporters
called, potentially including whistle-
blowers and condential sources. The
AP is right in calling the sweeping
dragnet an unjustied and unprece-
dented intrusion into its newsgather-
ing. All Americans, not just defenders
of press freedom, ought to be alarmed
by this threat to the First
Amendment.
It is eerily Nixonian in its scope
and yet another scandalous distraction
in the early months of President
Barack Obamas second term.
Attorney General Eric Holder, who
announced last June he had appointed
a U.S. attorney to probe the leak,
called it one of the most serious he
has seen. It put the American people
at risk and that is not hyperbole,
he told reporters Tuesday.
Holder, who removed himself from
supervising the investigation because
he had been questioned, nonetheless
said that prosecutors have followed
all department rules. Among them is
that phone records from news organi-
zations can be subpoenaed only after
all reasonable attempts have been
made to get the information from
other sources.
The Obama administration is
telling Americans to trust its assur-
ances that seizing so many phone
records from so many reporters was
proper and necessary. Thats a lot to
ask.

Angelina, and
my friend Mel
A
few Christmases back, I gave my friend Mel a
bank with the label boob job fund. Just a lit-
tle funny gift for the pal who said she was get-
ting ready to tack back up what gravity was pulling
down.
Fast-forward to just this past weekend and that clay jar
is no longer a joke. Its an honest-to-God collection.
Mel recently underwent a double mastectomy. After
confirming cancer in one breast, she decided to remove
each one as both pre-
vention and, according
to her doctor, to ease in
more symmetrical
reconstruction.
I might have lost the
girls but I gained some
big balls, she joked at
my birthday brunch,
referring to the round
collection devices at the
end of fluid-draining
tubes placed at the sur-
gery sites.
All of us gathered
around the table with our
mimosas and our grati-
tude laughed because
that is what you do in
the face of horrible things. We bantered about the bene-
fits of picking out exactly the pair one wants as
opposed to what nature handed down. We decided butts
were better body parts anyway. We gave thanks Mel
chose health over any possible vanity and crossed our
fingers the upcoming chemo goes off without a hitch.
Probably at some point, too, everybody at the table,
including myself, quietly thought there but for the
grace of God and wondered if they would make the
same decision to remove the healthy tissue or instead
gamble on an unknown.
On Tuesday, actress Angelina Jolie intensified the
What Would You Do? conversation by revealing her own
preventative double mastectomy in a newspaper piece
detailing her possession of the gene mutation likely to
cause breast and/or ovarian cancer and choosing to cut
the possibility off at the pass, so to speak. Unlike actu-
al cancer patients like Mel, Jolie was one of the women
without the disease yet at their door. Their decision was
based not on a tangible tumor but a still very real and
very frightening likelihood.
From the non-disease sidelines, neither scenario
sounds like it presents an easy choice although those
confronting mortality may very well feel differently
depending upon age, history, circumstance a million
individual factors that make it impossible to decide the
right path for anybody else. Another friends daughter, a
doctor and 28 without a family history of breast cancer
no less, also faced her diagnosis with the removal of
both a healthy and diseased breast. The reconstruction
process was like going through puberty again, only
greatly accelerated, she joked.
Like the old adage says, laughter is the best medicine.
Well, laughter, having a great oncologist and maintain-
ing a firm hand in ones own fate.
Jolie is not alone in having faced what for some
women might be a no-brainer and for others quite the
dilemma. Actress Christina Applegate also notably went
public with her same prophylactic choice and an untold
number with less star power can also relate. Add in those
who sacrificed an as-of-yet healthy breast in the name
of longevity, like my friend, and that number continues
to grow.
In the wings waits an equally large, maybe even
greater, group of women who will one day also find
themselves asked to choose which is why admissions
like Jolies are so important. If a woman often deemed
among the worlds most beautiful realizes that her femi-
ninity is tied to her strength and not her chest, others
may follow suit before it is too late for an epiphany.
So often cancer stories end with the patient not hav-
ing had the chance to fight back in time. Stories like
that of Jolie, and my friend Mel and so many other
women who are now speaking up illustrate that resigned
hope doesnt have to be the only way. For those who
can catch breast cancer in time for corrective and
most would argue brave measures, the ball is in their
court. And as Mel would rightly remind me, those balls
are pretty big.

The Augusta Chronicle
I
f it werent so serious, it would
be comical to watch the media
try to spin the Obama adminis-
tration scandals the presidents way.
When White House spokesman Jay
Carney continued Friday to cling des-
perately to the fairy tale that the
administration had not substantively
altered the CIAtalking points on the
Benghazi attack ABC News has
released evidence that the talking
points were revised 12 times to hide
the truth of the attack some in the
media wanted to downplay Carneys
fable.
Jay Carney has got caught saying
something that wasnt completely
true, liberal commentator David
Corn meekly admitted on one talking
heads show.
Thats called a lie, David,
responded Danielle Pletka of the
American Enterprise Institute.
Even Watergate legend Carl
Bernstein quickly came to Obamas
defense after the IRS admitted target-
ing conservative groups, saying he
cant imagine the outrageous and
frightening tactic couldve had the
presidents blessing.
Really Carl?
Beyond that, were all aware by now
of the love affair much of the media
have had with this president. Theyve
even admitted they gave him favor-
able coverage and the favoritism
was so obvious so early on that
Saturday Night Live performed a skit
in which reporters offered him a pil-
low to be comfortable in a 2008 pri-
mary debate with Hillary Clinton.
Obama also has beneted indirectly
from the manic, unfocused attention
of most media outlets, who run from
sensational local story to sensational
local story (e.g., Jodi Arias, the
Cleveland kidnapping). Now that the
victims in the Cleveland case have
asked for privacy, will the media
leave a place where theyre not wanted
and nally go to a place (the
Benghazi and IRS scandals) where
theyre actually needed?
For now it appears inevitable.
Some also allege the Benghazi lies
are covering up an Obama administra-
tion gun-running operation that
would be illegal can you say Iran-
Contra? and at the very least high-
ly hypocritical for an administration
intent on gun control here at home.
It will be interesting to see how
much interest the media take in all
this.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEWYORK Investors nudged the
stock market to all-time highs
Wednesday despite a handful of disap-
pointing economic reports.
Googles stock topped $900 for the
rst time after the company announced
new versions of its prodcuts, and
Macys rose after beating Wall Streets
prot estimates.
The market headed lower at the start
of trading, following news that U.S.
manufacturing slowed last month and
France entered a recession. It turned
higher before noon, and was back to
breakeven by 3 p.m. A late surge left
indexes at record levels.
Even signs of a slowdown havent
stopped the stock markets run this
year. Bad news can still shake
investors nerves. But many of them
believe reports of sluggish economic
growth mean the Federal Reserve will
keep pumping money into nancial
markets.
Terry Sandven, chief equity strate-
gist at U.S. Banks wealth manage-
ment group, said most investors have
come to expect choppy economic
growth, so they take mildly disap-
pointing reports in stride. With com-
panies reporting rising earnings and
few appealing alternatives, he sees no
reason to sell stocks.
Its a good backdrop for the market
to trend higher, Sandven said.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 60.44 points to close at
15,275.69, an increase of 0.4 percent.
It had been down as much as 40 points
in early trading.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 8.44 points to 1,658.78, up
0.4 percent. Both closed at all-time
highs.
Yes, were at all-time highs, but
valuations are still attractive,
Sandven said. The S&P 500 is trading
at 15 times earnings for 2013, in line
with the historical average of the
closely watched price-to-earnings
ratio.
Tepid economic growth also keeps
interest rates low, which encourages
investors to buy dividend-paying
stocks instead. More than four out of
every 10 companies in the S&P 500
pay a higher yield in dividends than
U.S. government bonds pay in inter-
est, according to Sandven.
In other trading, the Nasdaq compos-
ite rose 9.01 points to 3,471.62, a
gain of 0.2 percent.
Google gained 3 percent as the
online search company unveiled a
music streaming service and upgraded
features for Google Maps. Google rose
$28.79 to $915.89, a gain of 3 per-
cent. Its up 50 percent over the past
year.
Apples stock took a sudden turn
lower after reports said that a hedge
fund run by the billionaire David
Tepper slashed its holdings in the tech
company. Apple lost $15.01 to
$425.85, a 3 percent drop.
Strong corporate prots have sup-
ported the markets rally this year.
Quarterly earnings reached a record in
the first quarter, according to S&P
Capital IQ, rising 5 percent from the
year before. Telecommunication com-
panies have led the way. The S&P is up
16 percent so far in 2013.
Among companies reporting earn-
ings Wednesday, Macy said its prot
increased 20 percent. The department-
store chain also raised its quarterly
dividend by a nickel to 25 cents and
announced plans to buy an additional
$1.5 billion of its own stock. Macys
gained 2 percent, or $1.18, to $48.57
In the market for U.S. government
bonds, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note slipped to 1.94 percent
from 1.98 percent late Tuesday.
Traders bought Treasurys, pushing
yields down, partially in response to
news that France became the latest
European country to enter a recession.
Of the 17 countries that use the euro,
nine of them now have shrinking
economies.
Stocks climb despite economic reports
NEW YORK Ciscos net income
jumped 14 percent in the latest quarter
as revenue at all four of its divisions
rose for the rst time in a year and a
half.
Cisco earned $2.5 billion, or 46
cents per share, in its scal third quar-
ter, which ended April 27. Thats up
from $2.2 billion, or 40 cents per
share, a year ago. Excluding one-time
items Cisco earned 51 cents per share
in the latest quarter, and its revenue
increased 5 percent, to $12.2 billion
from $11.6 billion.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet
expected 49 cents per share and $12.2
billion in revenue.
The networking equipment compa-
nys net income and revenue beat Wall
Streets expectations and its stock
gained $1.21, or 5.7 percent, to
$22.42 in aftermarket trading after the
release of the numbers. The stock fell 6
cents to $21.21 during Wednesdays
regular trading session.
We are starting to see some good
signs in the U.S. and other parts of the
world which are encouraging,
Chairman and CEO John Chambers
said in a press release.
Revenue in the U.S. improved and
sales from emerging markets grew
more than 10 percent.
As one of the largest technology
companies in the world, Ciscos per-
formance is widely regarded as a way to
gauge the relative health of the tech-
nology industry. The San Jose, Calif.,
company cuts a broad swath, selling
its routers, switches, software and
services to corporate customers and
government agencies around the
world.
Cisco 3Q net income rises 14 percent
Googles music plan part
of fresh wave of upgrades
SAN FRANCISCO Google Inc. unveiled a streaming
music service called All Access that blends songs users
have already uploaded to their online libraries with mil-
lions of other tracks for a $10 monthly fee.
The service puts the Internet goliath in competition
with popular paid subscription plans like Spotify and
Rhapsody and free music services like Pandora.
The announcement Wednesday at Googles annual
developers conference in San Francisco kicks off a wave
of developments in the digital music space that are
expected to entice consumers with ways to listen to
music on a range of devices.
Rival Apple Inc. is expected to debut a digital radio
service later this year; Google-owned YouTube is also
working on a paid subscription music plan; and Swedens
Spotify is exploring a way to make a version of its paid
streaming plan free with ads on mobile devices, accord-
ing to a person in the music industry familiar with the
matter.
The person was not authorized to speak publicly about
the developments because the deals and features on the
services have not been nalized.
California home prices hit nearly five-year high
SAN DIEGO Aresearch rm says Californias medi-
an home prices surged to their highest level in nearly ve
years.
The San Diego-based research rm DataQuick reported
Wednesday that the median price paid for a home in
California was $324,000 the highest since June 2008
when the median price hit $328,000.
The median price rose by more than 22 percent com-
pared to April 2012.
The rm says it marked the 14th straight month that
the median price rose year-over-year.
More than 39,000 new and existing homes and condo-
miniums sold statewide last month.
The rm notes that low inventory has kept a lid on
sales.
Retired couples may need $220K for health care
WASHINGTON After years of increasing health care
costs, the outlook is improving for seniors worried
about paying their medical bills during retirement.
For the second time in the last three years, estimated
medical expenses for new retirees have fallen, according
to a study released Wednesday by Fidelity Investments. A
65-year-old couple retiring this year would need
$220,000 on average to cover medical expenses, an 8
percent decrease from last years estimate of $240,000.
The study assumes a life expectancy of 85 for women and
82 for men.
Fidelity attributes this years decrease to several fac-
tors, including a slowdown in healthcare spending that
hasnt rebounded with the economy.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Menlo catcher Austin Marcus hung his
head in disgust.
Two pitches prior to Carmel sophomore
William Kehoe drilling a game-tying home
run to left, Marcus had a chance to retire
Kehoe on a pop up behind home plate.
Marcus booted the routine foul y, allowing
Kehoes sixth-inning at-bat to continue.
And the senior catchers frustration was evi-
dent the moment Kehoe squared up his rst
homer of the year.
I was just hoping that wasnt going to be
the deciding factor, and that I didnt let my
team down, Marcus said. I wouldnt want
to let down the seniors and the rest of the
team and have that hang on my shoulders.
But all is right in Menlo, as the fth-seed-
ed Knights (20-7) stormed back an inning
later to walk off with a 3-2 win over No. 12

Could the Serra baseball teams run at
another Central Coast Section Division title
have gotten off to a better start?
Well, judging by the two Neil Sterling
home run balls probably still in orbit some-
where, and Matt Gorgolinskis ve-inning
no-hitter, the answer to that question is an
emphatic no.
The No. 2-seeded Padres made quick work of
the reigning, back-to-back Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division champion
Sequoia Cherokees Wednesday during the rst
round of the CCS playoffs. Using the 10-run
mercy rule, Serra beat the Cherokees 11-0.
Its good to see our guys stay true to their
game and play our brand of baseball and take
what we were given and capitalize on the
opportunities, said Serra manager Craig
Gianinno.

Notre Dame-Belmonts Sophia Magnani
came to the plate in the bottom of the rst
inning against Pacic Grove in the rst
round of the Central Coast Section Division
III softball tournament and promptly
crushed a double to the fence in left eld.
While Magnani was stranded at second,
there was a sense it was only the beginning
of more to come. Unfortunately for the
Tigers, that was the hardest hit ball they had
all game as eighth-seeded Notre Dame man-
aged just ve hits in a 3-0 loss to the No. 9
Breakers.
We denitely showed up a little too late
with our hitting, said Notre Dame coach
Tara Van Meter.
Pacic Grove (18-10 overall) scratched
out a run in the top of the third inning and
tacked on two more insurance runs in the
top of the sixth to record the win. An ineld
hit opened the door to the Breakers run in
the third inning. With two outs, Reeve
Grobecker hit a ball into the hole at short-
stop that she legged out for a hit. After she
stole second, she came around to score
when Victoria Harris inside-outed a pitch
that landed just fair down the left-eld line
for an RBI double.
In the sixth, Abby Burnell singled to left,
again with two outs, and scored when
Christina Lucidos drive, also down the left-
eld line, landed just fair for an RBI double.
She would score on a Notre Dame error to
give Pacic Grove a 3-0 lead.
They got a couple of lucky hits, Van
Meter said.
On the other hand, Notre Dame (13-14)
could not come up with a big hit when it
needed it the most. Four times the Tigers
advanced a runner to second base twice
with less than two outs but they could
not drive them in.
We couldnt get that timely hit today,
said Notre Dame coach Tara Van Meter.
When we did, we hit it right to them.

Notre Dame-Belmont pitcher Lindsay Mifsud allowed three runs (two earned) on ve hits,
striking out eight in a 3-0 loss to Pacic Grove in the rst round of the CCS DIII tournament.
R
emember the kids game tele-
phone, when one person would
whisper something in the next
persons ear and then the story would
change by the time it got to the end of
the line?
Thats kind of what happened last week
when I reported Crystal Springs Uplands
School was contemplating dropping its
baseball program.
Im not sure where that came from,
said Crystal Springs athletic director
Michael Flynn. Thats our biggest con-
cern, who said were dropping baseball
because were obviously not.
For the record,
Peninsula Athletic
League commission-
er Terry Stogner put
that out there but,
like the game of
telephone, the
report got twisted by
the time he heard it.
Flynn said he
talked to Stogner
who admitted he
made a mistake.
Apparently, as
Crystal Springs con-
templates the long-term future of the
sport at the school, another coach from
another team in the West Bay Athletic
League took that to mean the school was
on the verge of cutting the program and
told Stogner thus.
Our program has struggled a little
bit, Flynn said. Were super young,
only two seniors. Were playing Menlo,
Sacred Heart Prep, Kings Academy (all of
which made the Central Coast Section
playoffs). If we were to continue down
that line, could it kill our program? Sure,
because of a lack of success.
Maybe where the fudging came in was
with Priory (dropping its program), drop-
ping us (the West Bay Athletic League)

Amid a career beleaguered by injuries,
Greg Reynolds set out to do something in
spring training he had never done before
earn an unsecured spot in a minor-league
starting rotation.
The former Terra Nova standout who
pitched the Tigers to an opening-round
Central Coast Section win over Branham as
a junior in 2002 will always have the dis-
tinction of being selected
out of Stanford with the
second overall pick by
the Rockies in the 2006
draft, taken ahead of
Clayton Kershaw (No. 7
overall by the Dodgers)
and Tim Lincecum (No. 10
overall by the Giants).
However, Reynolds
career didnt progress as
anticipated. Despite making his big-league
debut less than two years after being drafted,
the big right-hander was already contending
with serious arm problems. The laundry list
includes shoulder surgery in 2007, neck sur-
gery in 2009 and spending the start of 2010
on the shelf with bone chips in his pitching
elbow after he was struck with a live drive.
After bouncing between Triple-A and the
big leagues for Colorado in 2011, he was
traded to the Rangers. He pitched the entire-
ty of last season at Triple-A Round Rock,
notching an 11-9 record in 27 starts, post-
ing a subpar 5.30 ERA.
Once considered one of the top prospects
in the game, he headed into his rst year of
free agency, accepting a spring-training
invite by the Reds. His goal was not to com-
pete for a roster spot with the major league
club, however, but to crack the Triple-A
rotation. Reynolds was essentially pitch-
ing for his life.

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Forgive the San Antonio
Spurs if they arent that excited about holding
a 3-2 series lead over the Golden State
Warriors in the Western Conference semi-
nals.
After all, theyve been ahead twice before.
If the Spurs want to close out the Warriors in
Game 6 on Thursday night at rowdy Oracle
Arena, theyll have to do what neither team
has in this series: win consecutive games.
Golden State also is 4-0 after a loss in the
playoffs.
Nobody talks about getting this over with
like youve got a rash, Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich said. Like you can take a pill or put
some cream on it, its going to be gone. This
is a war. Theyre a class team. They bust their
(butts) at both ends of the oor. Its not about
getting rid of anything. Its about going and
playing and thats about it.
San Antonio has increasingly shown its
veteran savvy the last three games, and
Golden State has looked like its nally wear-
ing down from all its injuries.
Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and the rest of the
Spurs overwhelmed the Warriors in Tuesday
nights 109-91 win in San Antonio. Stephen
Curry and Klay Thompson described by
Coach Mark Jackson as the greatest shoot-
ing backcourt in NBA history combined
to score just 13 points on 6-of-22 shooting.
Curry has refused to use the left ankle he
sprained late in Game 3 as an excuse, but any-
body who has watched can clearly see he has
been slowed by the injury. Thompson, who
failed to even attempt a 3-pointer for the rst
time all season Tuesday, has been shut down
by San Antonio since scoring 34 points in
Game 2.
Neither Curry nor Thompson was made
available to speak to reporters during the
teams light shootaround Wednesday in
Oakland. The rest of the Warriors insist
theyre not worried about the Splash
Brothers or the teams ability to respond.
San Antonio tries to close out Warriors in Game 6
Tough day for local teams at CCS, but SHP Gators do win
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Menlo Atherton manager Mike Amoroso
described his teams season as a roller
coaster ride.
And in the rst round of the Central Coast
Section Division I playoffs, that ride came
to a heartbreaking stop.
After going down 1-0 on a controversial
balk call, the Bears fought back and scored
two runs to lead 2-1 after 5 1/2 innings of
play. Up until that point, M-A starter Erik
Amundson had been unhittable.
But the junior pitcher gave up his lone
two hits in the bottom of the fth. They
were a pair of solo homers that gave San
Benito the lead.
Getting six hits in a CCS playoff game
against a good pitching staff is good,
Amoroso said. We just couldnt close.
M-A had the tying run thrown out at the
plate and also stranded runners on rst and
third in the seventh.
We nished strong, Amoroso said. We
battled a good team and that speaks volumes
for Menlo-Atherton baseball.
Scotts Valley 11, Half Moon Bay 2
The Cougars played inspired baseball in
the latter part of the PAL season to push
their way in the CCS playoffs. But perhaps
they spent all of their energy just getting
there.
The base on balls cursed Half Moon Bay
in its rst round matchup with Scotts Valley.
The Cougars fell to the team from Santa
Cruz 11-2.
We were giving guys extended at bats,
said Half Moon Bay manager Steve
Terraszas. We just didnt pitch very well
today.
The Cougars scored in the rst to take a 1-
0 lead. But Scotts Valley plated two in the
second and two more in the third before the
wheels came off, according to Terrazas.
Half Moon Bay would not score against
until the seventh.
It denitely wasnt our best offensive
effort, Terraszas said. We just couldnt
adjust to their starters change-up. I think
all of his strikeouts were on that pitch.
Im proud of our guys, Terraszas said.
They played hard and really came together.
We were playing our best baseball at the end
of the season. Im proud of how they battled
in a tough division. We just couldnt carry
that element into [Wednesday].
Homestead 4, Carlmont 3
The PALBay champion Scots found them-
selves down 3-0 early to Homestead and
while they bounced back, a two-out rally
saw their season end.
Carlmont scratched out a run in the top of
the third when Matt Seubert led off with a
walk andJesse Austin followed with ian
neld single. Tanner Westmorelands sacri-
ce bunt moved each of them up a base. Kai
Haake was then hit by a pitch to load the
bases and Justin Fink hit a sacrice y to
bring in Seubert.
Carlmont managed to tie the score 3-3 in
the fth. Seubert led off with an ineld sin-
gle and would later score when Haake's
ground ball to third was booted for
Homesteads second error of the inning.
The game remained tied until the bottom
of the seventh when, after two outs, the
Homestead designated hitter doubled to left-
center. The Scots intentionally loaded the
bases and the next batter hit the ball deep in
the hole. Shortstop Aaron Albaum stopped
the ball from reaching the outeld, but the
ineld single resulted in the winning run
crossing the plate.
Sacred Heart Prep 4, Live Oak 1
The Gators scored two in the rst and
another two in the second, and that was all
SHP starter Tyler VauDell would need as
Sacred Heart Prep beat Live Oak 4-1.
VauDell limited Live Oak to ve hits (three

SHP defense.
Mike Covell was the offensive hero for
the Gators. He had two hits including a dou-
ble.
SOFTBALL
North Salinas 3, Woodside 1
Speed kills. And the Woodside softball
team found that out the hard way in their 3-
0 loss to Santa Teresa.
Theyre 1 and 2 hitters are really fast,
said Woodside head coach Mike King.
They have a lot of speed and its really
tough to stop that.
The Wildcats scored their run in the sec-
ond inning and for the most part got great
pitching from starter Christina Patton.
We made a couple of errors that basically
cost us the game, King said. Theyre a
good team. We just didnt get the key hits
when we needed to. But, we played a good
game. Its tough when youre a C team to
condition yourself for A teams.
Santa Teresa 1, Sequoia 0
In what was Sequoias fourth appearance
over the last seven years in CCS, the
Cherokees put forth their finest effort.
Unfortunately, they came up short.
Santa Teresa pushed a run across in the
sixth inning on a elders choice and that
was the difference in the ball game.
In general, were really proud of our girls
with how hard they played, especially
today, said Sequoia manager Scott
Reynick. Nonetheless, it was a heart-
breaking loss. We had our opportunities but
we couldnt quite cash them in.
Sequoia had a chance to tie the game when
they got runners to rst and second with just
one out in the seventh. But they could get
neither home.
Gina Rodriguez had a solid outing in the
circle for Sequoia. She pitched really well,
Reynick said. And we played really good
defense behind her.
This was by far the most competitive
result weve had in CCS against a solid San
Jose team. Big picture, were pretty happy
with the way things went this season.

Notre Dame-Salinas 11-0.

LOS ANGELES Raf Torres
spent the past year in Phoenix and
San Jose trying to shake his repu-
tation as a dangerous player.
His hit on Los Angeles center
Jarret Stoll might have erased
much of that work and put both
players postseason futures in
doubt.
Stoll is likely to miss Game 2 of
the Kings second-round playoff
series against the Sharks on
Thursday night. The valuable two-
way forward didnt return to the
series opener after a hard hit from
Torres late in the second period of
Los Angeles 2-0 victory.
Kings coach Darryl Sutter
implied Wednesday that Stoll
could be out for a significant
length of time. Torres also might
be sidelined for a stretch after he
travels to New York for a discipli-
nary hearing Thursday with the
NHLs Department of Player
Safety, which suspended him until
the hearing is completed.
I thought it was careless,
Sutter said of Torres hit, which
occurred near the sideboards after
the puck rolled away from Stoll.
A lengthy suspension wouldnt
make Sutter feel any better about
Torres play, either: Our player is
quite a bit more important than
theirs.
During the defending Stanley
Cup champions 2-0 victory over
the Sharks, Stoll was bent forward
when Torres approached him from
the side for a shoulder-to-shoulder
hit. Stolls head also snapped back
violently before he fell forward
onto the ice. Torres was called for
a minor penalty for charging, and
Stoll didnt return to the game.
Most of the Kings declined to
weigh in on the hits legality after
Wednesdays light practice, claim-
ing they hadnt seen replays. Stoll
attended the Kings team meeting
before practice, but wasnt on the
ice.
The Sharks had much stronger
opinions about the play: Torres,
captain Joe Thornton and coach
Todd McLellan all said the hit was
perfectly legal, and shouldnt even
have resulted in San Joses only
penalty in Game 1.
We questioned the call of a
charging penalty, Thornton said.
So we were kind of shocked to
hear he has to y to New York for
the hearing, because we didnt see
anything wrong on the play. . . .
Its unfortunate that Raf has to go
through this again.
Further complicating matters,
Stoll and Torres are friends after
three seasons as teammates with
the Edmonton Oilers from 2005-
08.
The Kings would lose plenty
without Stoll, a stalwart on their
championship team last summer.
Stoll is their third-line center and
a top penalty-killer and faceoff
specialist, playing a valuable two-
way game while also logging time
on the power play.
Although he doesnt score many
points, getting just one assist in
seven playoff games this spring,
Stoll scored the series-winning
goal in last seasons upset of top-
seeded Vancouver in the rst round
on the way to the title. He also has
a history of apparent concussions
earlier in his career.
Hes a big loss, one of our most
valuable guys, Kings defenseman
Drew Doughty said. Everybody
else will have to step up if we want
to keep going forward.
Torres absence isnt likely to
affect the Sharks offensive efforts
against goalie Jonathan Quick,
who shut them out on 35 shots in
the series opener. But Stolls
absence on defense changes the
mix for Los Angeles, which must
entrust additional ice time to role
players without one of its leaders.
Brad Richardson, who played 13
games during the Kings champi-
onship playoff run, is likely to
replace Stoll in the lineup for
Game 2. Richardson hasnt played
in this postseason since Game 1
of the Kings first-round series
with St. Louis.
Its huge, because hes one of
our clutch players, Richardson
said of Stoll. Hes the rst guy on
the penalty kill, and hes a power-
play guy.
L.A. forward out after hit fromTorres
By Schuyler Dixon
DALLAS The Kings are staying
in Sacramento, and Seattle will have
to wait for another NBAfranchise.
As for the ownership question that
has kept the Kings in limbo for
years, Commissioner David Stern
wants it settled now.
League owners voted Wednesday to
follow the recommendation of their
relocation committee and reject an
aggressive bid to move the Kings,
and Stern promptly announced that
he hoped to have a deal in place in 48
hours with a group that wants to buy
the team from the Maloof brothers.
And now we think that because
the Maloofs have overall been very
good for Sacramento and the Kings
and the NBA, that they will be moti-
vated to do something fast so that
the franchise can get cracking,
Stern said.
The 22-8 vote by the Board of
Governors rejected a deal that would
have sold a 65 percent controlling
interest at a total franchise valuation
of $625 million to a Seattle group
led by investor Chris Hansen, who
boosted the offer twice after the NBA
showed an unwillingness to relo-
cate.
Now the Maloofs will try to com-
plete a deal at Hansens original
price of $525 million still top-
ping the NBArecord of $450 million
with a group put together by
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson,
a former All-Star guard, and fronted
by TIBCO software chairman Vivek
Ranadive. The plan includes a new
downtown arena.
The committee decided didnt
have any preconceived notions
but looking at both evenly they said
that the edge went to the incumbent,
so thats the way it came out, Stern
said.
The vote ended an emotional saga
that has dragged on for nearly three
years. Hansen wanted to move the
franchise and rename it the
SuperSonics, who left Seattle for
Oklahoma City in 2008 and were
renamed the Thunder.
Hansen said in a statement posted
on his website that he hoped to pur-
sue a minority ownership role with
the Maloofs, but Ranadive said his
partners havent really considered
the Maloofs maintaining a stake in
the franchise.
Stern praised Hansens proposal
and said the NBA might consider
expansion once a new TV deal is in
place, but said we dont have any-
thing concrete.
Our day will come, and when it
does, it will just be that much sweet-
er for the struggle, Hansen said.
Its the second time since 2011
that the Maloof brothers have made
plans that would have ended in relo-
cation for the Kings. The rst target
was Anaheim, Calif., but Johnson
convinced the NBA to give the city
another chance to nance a new
arena.
Johnson delivered on a promise
for a plan for a new downtown arena
with help from Stern, but the
Maloofs backed out, saying it didnt
make nancial sense.

down to six (teams). We got it so we only
have to play those top teams (in the
league) once. We also mentioned if they
made us play home and away (against those
top teams), maybe its time for us to go
independent. That was talked about at our
board of managers meeting. Maybe thats
where [Stogner] got wind of that.
Rob Cannone, Crystal Springs baseball
coach and assistant athletic director, agreed
with Flynns assessment of the situation.
We have concerns if we keep along this
path, we wont have the program much
longer. That could have morphed into drop-
ping the program, Cannone said. Were
trying to strengthen the program and give
[our team] a chance to compete. We strug-
gle with Prep and Menlo.
One suggestion oated is combining the
WBAL and PAL into one super league and
then going back to the three-division sys-
tem employed a few years ago: Bay, Ocean
and Lake divisions. That proposal was pre-
sented to the PAL coaches at the post-sea-
son meeting Tuesday night and Stogner
said the PAL coaches are in favor of the
move.
The primary reason being it would
increase the chances of the Bay Division
receiving A league status by CCS, thus
giving Bay Division teams more power
points and more favorable seedings in the
CCS playoffs. The Bay Division is current-
ly a B league and that played into the
CCS seedings this season when no PAL
team received a seed higher than a No. 9,
which Terra Nova got in Division III.
Flynn said Sacred Heart Prep athletic
director Frank Rodriguez mentioned the
idea of a merger because he believes it
would be benecial for both leagues and
the teams involved.
This (proposed merger) works for us,
Flynn said. At least there would be some
competitive equality. Im looking at this
as a win-win for everyone in here. You
have to look at what is best for the pro-
gram. Whats good for baseball in this
area.
Schools like us are not athletic power-
houses. We just want to have some compet-
itive games. Thats all were looking for. I
believe this is good for baseball (in San
Mateo County).
Added Cannone: Were trying to be
more re prevention instead of re ghting
(in regards to merging the two leagues). I
think were just trying to be more proac-
tive about it, to make it a win-win for all
parties.
While Crystal Springs has struggled
recently Cannone said the Gryphons
have won only a handful of games over the
last several years the competitive pen-
dulum could begin swinging the other way.
Flynn said Crystal Springs middle school
team has some baseball talent, having
defeated both Menlo and Sacred Heart Prep
middle school teams this season.
We have a good crop of eighth graders
who can play baseball, Flynn said.
Which should certainly help the
Gryphons increase its programs competi-
tiveness and give them a better chance to
win games.

When you get to this level and you know
how the seeding is going to fall, you dont
know exactly who its going to be, but you
know its going to be someone really good
who then is going to bring challenges. You
have to look at it as an opportunity as
opposed to a tough draw, said Sequoia man-
ager Corey Uhalde. And we were excited
about the opportunity to come here.
While the Cherokees knew they were up
against a baseball juggernaut and therefore
had nothing to lose since no one expected
them to beat the Padres, Serra made sure
there were no whispers of an upset from the
onset.
After a 1-2-3 inning by Gorgolinski in
the top of the rst, Serra got their rst big
break on offense when a two-out error on an
ineld play allowed two Padre runs to score.
Then, after a walk to Sean Watkins put run-
ners on rst and second, Sterling came up
and exed his muscle, completely annihi-
lating a high fastball sending it over the
40-foot netting and somewhere onto 21st
Avenue to make it 5-0.
They made a lot of mistakes up,
Sterling said, so some of us were a little out
in front but we were able to capitalize on
every mistake.
Speaking of mistakes, Gorgolinski was-
nt making many. He walked his only batter
in the second and his defense fumbled a
ground ball in the third, but he got out of
that with a double play a batter later. Other
than those two instances, it was smooth
sailing for Gorgolinski.
His fastball just seemed to nullify their
bats, Gianinno said. It seemed like he got
into a good rhythm there in the third and
fourth inning and a good feel. And he just
pounded the strike zone.
Serra made it 6-0 in the third when
Christian Conci singled to lead off the
frame and then came home on another loud
line drive off Sterlings bat, good for an RBI
double.
The Padres and Sterling werent done
though. In the fourth and with two outs,
Jordan Paroubeck was hit by a pitch and
then scored on a Paul Murray double off the
outeld netting. Murray would score easily a
batter later on a Conci single. Then,
Watkins came up and drew yet another base
on balls, setting the table for Sterling.
I felt really relaxed today, Sterling said.
I was looking for a fastball that I could
drive and I was more relaxed than usual. So I
felt good and every pitch I swung at was one
I could drive. I made good pitch decisions.
How about great pitch decisions because
on a 2-0 count, No. 21 got every ounce of
another fastball for yet another towering,
three-run Serra bomb to make it 11-0.
Gorgolinski then made 1-2-3 work of
Sequoia to close the game out.
It feels good, Gorgolinski said. I threw
a lot of fastballs. My catcher called some
good pitches. My team played good, made a
lot of plays. I walked one guy, so thats a
big key for me. Staying low in the zone.
And our team obviously hit the ball hard.
The message after the game was, dont
hang your heads, Uhalde said. Its a suc-
cessful thing to get here and if you want to
be at the top, you have to play the top and
sometimes you take your lumps.
This senior class should be commended.
They had to deal with a lot of people talking
about how the junior class is so good and
how theyre a young team. Well, the seniors
dont get to be a part of that young team in
the future. And so, I think this is a special
run for them. We got to play some big
games over the last couple of weeks and we
were fortunate enough to come out on the
right end of those big games. And thats
what its about. I think the last three weeks
of baseball have been the [most fun] Ive
had since Ive been at Sequoia.
Serra will now face either No. 10
Carlmont or No. 7 Homestead on Saturday at
a site yet to be determined by CCS.
It gives a lot of condence beating a
team 11-0 in ve innings so, Im glad we
got to come out strong and hopefully this
momentum will take us through the rest of
CCS, Sterling said.

The last-place Blue Jays, who came in with
the fewest runs of any AL East team, have 33

beat Boston 12-4 on Sunday and won the series
opener against the Giants 10-6 Tuesday.
Ortiz (1-1) allowed one run and six hits in

New York Mets in a relief appearance with the
Chicago Cubs on Sept. 11, 2011. He had not
won as a starter since beating Seattle while
pitching for Minnesota in April 2007.
Mickey Storey worked the nal two innings

The NL West-leading Giants allowed double-

this season.
Pablo Sandoval gave the Giants an early lead
with a sacrice y off Ortiz in the rst, but the
Blue Jays answered by batting around in the
bottom half, taking advantage of two San
Francisco errors to score ve runs against strug-

Melky Cabrera ied out, Jose Bautista reached
when Marco Scutaro dropped a bloop into shal-

Lind followed with a two-run blast to right,
his third homer. Three batters later, Emilio

Carmel (15-13) in yesterdays Central Coast
Section Division III opener at Menlo. Junior
leadoff hitter Mikey Diekroeger notched the
decisive hit with no outs and the bases loaded in
the bottom of the seventh, stroking a clean sin-
gle to right to plate Sam Crowder with the
game-winning run.
Menlo starting pitcher Jack Redman went the
distance to earn the win, improving his record
to 7-1. The senior left-hander cruised through
the early innings after surrendering a run in the
rst. Redman retired 12 consecutive batters at
one point, ultimately yielding ve hits while
striking out four. Carmel senior left-hander
Jacob Ross also notched a complete game, but
took the loss. His record falls to 3-2.
It was kind of a pillow ght between the
both of those guys, Carmel manager Randy
Bispo said. But thats baseball. And its still
good baseball. It doesnt need to be a hundred
miles per hour.
The game turned and burned after both teams
got on the board in the rst. Time of the game
registered at under an hour-and-a-half.
In the top of the rst, Carmel leadoff hitter
Joe Bifano singled to right on the rst pitch of
the game. Kenny Nava bunted Bifano to second,
and he moved to third on a wild pitch, before
brother Dominic Bifano drove him home on an
ineld groundout.
Menlo answered right back. Diekroeger
opened the bottom of the rst with a clean sin-
gle to right. After a walk to Marcus, and a bunt-
ed elders choice off the bat of Will King to
load the bases, Diekroeger scored on an ineld
throwing error as a potential force play at the
plate saw the ball sail to the backstop. The
Knights later took a 2-1 lead on a groundout off
the bat of Graham Stratford.
Redman went on to retire 15 of the next 16
batters he faced, until Kehoe homered to lead off
the sixth. Carmel threatened later in the inning,
after singles by Nava and Scott Robleski put
runners at rst and second with two outs. But
after falling behind senior Traven Tapson,
Redman induced a yout to center to end the
threat.
That is Jack Redman at his best, Menlo
manager Craig Schoof said. He throws
strikes. Hes not overpowering. The ball
moves. He mixes pitches, and hes a battler.
Hes very, very competitive, and wont let his
team lose.
As Menlo returned to the dugout after the
inning though, there was a mix of intensity and
disappointment as Knights assistant coach
Jimmy Goethals greeted Marcus with an uplift-
ing slap to the catchers helmet.
I think there was some determination. There
was also a little deation, Schoof said of giv-
ing up the lead in the sixth. Youre that close to
get it and their guy was giving us a lot of
trouble. So we talked to them a little before the
seventh inning tried to get a little more ener-
gy. And Sam Crowder coming right out nailing
the double put the pressure on them.
Crowder indeed sparked the seventh-inning
rally with a loud double to left-center. Jared
Lucian followed with a sacrice bunt. Crowder
advanced to third on the play, but Lucian also
reached as Carmel attempted to get the out at
third. Carmel then intentionally walked
Menlos No. 9 hitter Joe Farnham to bring
Diekroeger to the plate. With a 2-for-3 day at the
plate, Diekroeger now paces Menlo with a .426
batting average.
Diekroeger said its not the rst time a team
has intentionally walked a batter to bring him
to the plate.
I get excited when that happens because its
even more motivation to get a hit right there
so when I get up to the plate I can show them
that they made a mistake, Diekroeger said.
Marcus was standing on deck when the win-
ning run scored. The third-year varsity starter
was named West Bay Athletic League MVPearli-
er in the week. He is also bound for a Division I
college baseball program, as he is committed as
a pitcher to Bucknell University. And with yes-
terdays game being the last game of the year at
Menlo, the senior was licking his chops from
the on-deck circle in hopes of getting a shot at
atoning for his earlier miscue.
I really hoped (to bat in that inning),
because its the last (home) game senior year,
Marcus said. But then again, Im also happy
getting the victory. So any way we can get it,
Im happy.
With the win, Menlo advances to Saturdays
CCS quarternal. The Knights will play the win-
ner of yesterdays game between No. 13 Seaside
and No. 4 Soquel.

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND If he had to choose one high-
light play, Nelson Cruz preferred his run-sav-
ing, diving catch to his towering, three-run
homer.
Those contributions with the bat and glove
played a huge part in the rst-place Texas
Rangers holding momentum in the AL West
with a 6-2 victory against the Oakland
Athletics on Wednesday for a winning series.
Cruz connected for his 10th homer in the
fth, then chased down Brandon Moss line
drive to the gap in right-center for a defensive
gem to end the sixth with Oakland runners on
rst and second.
I had four or ve steps before I got to the
ball, I thought I had a chance before I dived,
Cruz said. I think the catch in that situation
was nice.
Alexi Ogando thought so. He went on to
earn his rst career win against Oakland.
Ogando (4-2) didnt allow a hit until Eric
Sogards leadoff double in the sixth. The
right-hander won his second straight decision
and earned only his second victory in seven
outings since consecutive wins starting the
season.
Cruz greeted reliever Jesse Chavez in the
fth with a rst-pitch drive to left, highlight-
ing the Rangers four-run inning.
Hey, Im an aggressive hitter, Cruz said,
Im not going to change my approach.
Lance Berkman hit a two-run single and
Adrian Beltre added an RBI single a day after
hitting a 10th-inning home run. Elvis Andrus
stole his ninth and 10th bases as the Rangers
won their rst series in Oakland since Sept.
20-22, 2011.
Ogando was thrilled with Cruzs day
especially that pretty catch.
Wow, the pitcher said. It was an excellent
play that helped so much. Its what we needed
at that moment.
Derek Norris hit a sacrice y in the sixth
for Oaklands rst run. Coco Crisp, fresh off
the disabled list, added one of his own in the
seventh.
Last Oct. 3, Ogando entered in relief of the
Rangers 12-5 loss in Game No. 162 and was
tagged for four runs in the eighth inning as the
As rallied to grab the AL West crown away
from the Rangers.

pitcher Cierra Pieroni got a yout
and a strikeout to end the threat. In
the third inning, Notre Dames
Danica Kazakoff reached on an error
and moved to second on a Magnani
single, but she was tagged out
going to second to end the inning
when Lindsay Mifsud hit into a
elders choice. In the fourth,
Megan Cosgrave walked with one
out and moved to second on a
groundout, but she was also left
hanging following a strikeout.
The Tigers best chance to score
came in the bottom of the fth.
Jenny Joyner led off the inning
with a single to center and went to
second on a Jessica Parque sacrice
bunt. Kazakoff followed with a
bloop single just over the short-
stops head to put runners on rst
and second with one out.
But Pieroni, like she did all game
long, worked out of the jam. She
got a popout to the second baseman
for the second out and then retired
the Tigers on a foulout to the catch-
er.
[Pieroni] was getting the job
done, Van Meter said. She did
what she needed to do.
Mifsud took the loss for the
Tigers, but she deserved better. She
gave up just ve hits and struck out
eight including ve of the rst
seven batters she faced.
She played strong, Van Meter
said. I wish our bats would have
helped her out.
TIGERS
said. No big-league invite. Just
kind of went there to hopefully
win a spot in the Triple-Arotation
and I had to go out there and actu-
ally win it. There was nothing
guaranteed.
Not only did Reynolds earn a
rotation spot at Triple-A
Louisville, he has emerged as one
of the top pitchers in the
International League. In addition
to pacing his team with 49 1/3
innings pitched, he entered play
yesterday ranked fourth in the
league in the statistic, and also
ranks among the league leaders
with a 2.92 ERA(12th) and a 1.09
WHIP (seventh).
What is WHIP?
Not a traditional baseball stat,
WHIP stands for walks and hits
(combined) per innings pitched. It
is an important gauge as to how
many base runners a pitcher
allows. As with ERA, the lower the
WHIP, the better.
While Reynolds has been fan-
tastic in that category at Triple-A,
the Reds major-league rotation
has been even better. Cincinnati
is currently ranked tops in the
National League with a 1.19
WHIP, as the team boasts one of
the best records in the NL, and is
poised to contend for its second
consecutive Central Division
crown.
With the big-league depth chart
already stacked against Reynolds,
add to it the prolic Louisville
rotation. The Bats began the sea-
son with a staff that includes for-
mer NL All-Star Mark Prior and
former Tigers starter Armando
Galarraga.
So while Louisville pitching
coach Ted Power has been
impressed with Reynolds per-
formance thus far, his workhorse
could be hard-pressed to receive a
call-up from the Reds any time in
the foreseeable future. But with
Reynolds four-pitch repertoire
dialed and his control sharp as
ever, the question resurfaces Is
he ready to pitch in the Major
Leagues?
Well, I believe he is, Power
said. I believe that wholehearted-
l y. I dont know if it will be with
the Reds. But I think the work
he is doing here is denitely get-
ting attention. If something
should happen, I think hes ready
to go up there and pitch for them.
Its always tougher when youre
pitching for a team that is com-
peting for a pennant. If it was
another team that was out of the
race, hed probably already be
there.
Welcome to Louisville
Reynolds got quite the first
impression of his newest home
city, as the Bats arrived for the
start of the regular season amid the
hoopla of the University of
Louisville mens basketball team
winning its third ever national
championship.
We were here when they won
the championship and this city
went crazy, Reynolds said. It
was quite a sight to see. It was real-
ly cool to be here while it hap-
pened. That was our rst experi-
ence here, well for me anyways,
was we all went downtown and
watched the game and just kind of
poured into the streets and cele-
brated like everybody else.
And it didnt take long for
Reynolds to generate a little
excitement himself.
First and foremost I was
impressed with the size of the
guy, Power said. I like the tall
pitchers with arms and legs and
things like that. Everything I
heard about him was nothing but
positive. So I was anxious to see
him pitch in competition. And he
did impress me during spring
training for somebody that Id
never seen before.
Now, Reynolds is intent on one
immediate goal. It isnt to make it
back to the show. It isnt even to
excel on the mound, though he has
done so by turning in six quality
starts in seven outings to begin
the season. His primary goal?
Stay healthy.
It was a tough time with all
those [injuries] coming back-to-
back like that, and just trying to
fight my way through and get
healthy, Reynolds said. And I
knew I could do it if my health
would allow me to. Im trying to
stay condent and push through.
REYNOLDS
Scott Taggart, Burlingames No.
1 singles player, said his goal is
to become the first Burlingame
tennis player since 1968 to win a
Central Coast Section singles
tennis title.
The distinction that is Erik Van
Dillens alone will remain that
way as Taggart will have to wait
another year. After winning his
rst two matches on Day 1 of the
CCS individual tournament
Tuesday, Taggart was one and done
in the semifinals Wednesday,
falling to York Schools Josh
Pompan, 6-1, 6-2. Pompan went
on to lose to top seeded David Hsu
of Lynbrook.
On the doubles side, the top
seeded team from Los Altos cap-
tured the championship, beating a
duo from Valley Christian.
Taggart comes up short in CCS tennis
SPORTS 17
KANSAS CITY, Mo. It hasnt
taken long for Alex Smith to
become the leader of the Kansas
City Chiefs.
The weight of the franchise was
foisted upon his shoulders from the
very second
word leaked out
that former No.
1 draft pick
would be sent
from the San
Francisco 49ers
to the Chiefs
during a topsy-
turvy offsea-
son.
If he wasnt
considered the leader in the huddle
then, he certainly is now, as the
Chiefs toil away in summer-like
heat during the rst full week of
voluntary practices.
Aquick survey of his teammates
will conrm it.
Just watching Steve Young back
in the day, hes that kind of guy,
wide receiver Dwayne Bowe said
Wednesday. Hes not too vocal
about it, but when hes in the hud-
dle, he makes his presence known.
Hes demanding guys speed up I
mean, I never had a quarterback
like that.
It took Smith more than ve
years in the NFL to adjust to the
expectations that come with start-
ing at the games most glamorous
position. But given a fresh chance
under a new regime in San
Francisco, he thrived during the
2011 season, going 13-3 and lead-
ing his team to the playoffs.
He was doing it again last year,
too, as the 49ers got off to a 6-2-1
start. But when a concussion forced
him from the field, Colin
Kaepernick stepped in and emerged
as the next big thing in an era of
mobile quarterbacks.
Kaepernick led the 49ers to the
Super Bowl as Smith watched from
the sideline.
All along, though, Smith han-
dled the adversity with the kind of
professionalism that teammates
and executives around the league
had come to expect. So when Andy
Reid was hired as the new coach in
Kansas City, and longtime Packers
executive John Dorsey came
aboard as GM, they made an
upgrade at quarterback their priori-
ty and targeting Smith their pri-
mary mission.
For me, its certainly not some-
thing to relax about, Smith said,
when asked about the comfort of
being the clear starting quarter-
back. Its you know, full-steam
ahead. Im working as hard as I
can, trying to push us as far as we
can go.
That sort of leadership has come
in handy as the Chiefs learn yet
another offense.
Hes a great quarterback, a guy
thats mobile, a guy that knows
how to read defense and take advan-
tage of mismatches, wide receiver
Dexter McCluster said. Hes de-
nitely condent. As a quarterback,
you need to be confident. But
knowing him, hes never shaken.
Even when everybody on the
eld seems to be on a different
page.
In fact, that may be when Smith
is at his best.
Several players have said this
week that Reids offensive system
is deeper and more complex than
what theyve run elsewhere, and
picking it up has been a chore. Not
even extra time studying the play-
book in the evenings has gotten
everybody on the same page, as
evidence by Reid more than once
calling his team back from the line
of scrimmage to huddle up and try
again.
Yet during these early growing
pains, Smith has become a sort of
trafc cop, pointing wide receivers
and running backs to the right
places and adjusting his offensive
lines protection.
He seems to be picking things
up fairly easily, Reid acknowl-
edged earlier in the week, adding
that Smith has stood out as a very
hard worker, very diligent, and I
appreciate that.
His wide receiving corps certain-
ly appreciates it, too.
Theyve had to make do the past
few years with crippling uncertain-
ty at quarterback. Longtime starter
Matt Cassel struggled so much that
he was ultimately benched last sea-
son, and backups such as Brady
Quinn and Tyler Palko havent
fared a whole lot better. The result
was an offense that failed to put
points consistently, one that
looked at times haphazard, at times
downright disastrous.
Thats the void that Smith has
stepped into.
We communicate all the time.
We text back and forth, talking
about different things we see, dif-
ferent things we want to do, wide
receiver Jon Baldwin said. He
kind of understands where Im
going to be, and I understand what
hes thinking, and the more you
have a relationship with your quar-
terback off the eld, the better it is
on the eld.
Its still early in the offseason,
of course. The Chiefs wont begin
mandatory minicamp for another
few weeks, even though the entire
team has been present for organ-
ized team activities.
Training camp in St. Joseph,
Mo., is still more than two months
away.
But already, Smith has emerged
as the leader of a franchise desper-
ate to turn around its fortunes, one
that has been starved for success
the past couple of seasons.
Hes been to the Super Bowl as a
backup, so he brings that leader-
ship, running back Jamaal
Charles said. And I know hes
probably hungry because he didnt
play in the Super Bowl, but bring-
ing that here and wanting to get
back to the Super Bowl, yeah, hes
one of the leaders.

Hagel informed
Obama of latest sex abuse case
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel informed President Barack
Obama of the latest sexu-
al assault allegations
against a soldier who was
assigned to prevent such
crimes the second sol-
dier involved in similar
accusations and the
president made clear he
wants that behavior
stopped, officials said
Wednesday.
Hagel spokesman George Little told
reporters that Hagels staff is working on a
written directive that will spell out steps
aimed at resolving a problem that has out-
raged lawmakers.
House panel set to OK
cut in food stamp program
WASHINGTON A House committee
rebuffed Democratic efforts Wednesday to
keep the $80 billion-a-year food stamp pro-
gram whole, as debate on the farm bill
turned into a theological discourse on help-
ing the poor.
The House bill would cut about $2.5 bil-
lion a year or a little more than 3 percent
from the food stamp program, which is
used by 1 in 7 Americans.
The committee rejected an amendment by
Democrats to strike the cuts 27-17, keeping
them in the bill.
The legislation would achieve the cuts
partly by eliminating an eligibility catego-
ry that mandates automatic food stamp ben-
ets when people sign up for certain other
programs.
Around the nation
Chuck Hagel
the district the best option. He appreciated
the concern from those attending the meet-
ing as well as letters from East Bay resi-
dents, but said the board isnt charged with
maintaining public broadcast options.
Instead, it is trying to nd the best things
for the greatest number of students as a
whole.
With LocusPoint Networks, Mandelkern
said that the cooperative would keep the sta-
tion on the air for at least a few years
something those who expressed concerns
had wanted.
Under the proposal, LocusPoint Networks
would subsidize the district with $900,000
annually for up to four years or until an auc-
tion can be held. Then, LocalPoint
Networks would get 36.5 percent of the rev-
enue from the auction sale while the district
would retain 63.5 percent of the proceeds,
said Jan Roecks, interim dean of business,
workforce and athletics at Caada College.
Roecks, who also laid out the details of
the other proposals, said the LocusPoint
Network ofcials offered strategies as to
how to handle issues such as delays in or
cancellation of auction proceedings. This
offer, she said, ultimately allowed the dis-
trict to retain the ownership and operation
of the station for up to four years without
the extra cost until an auction, which is esti-
mated to happen as soon as 2015.
Tracy Rosenberg, executive director of
Media Alliance, a media advocacy nonprof-
it, took issue with the possible buyer say-
ing there were more lucrative options that
would allow the community station to con-
tinue broadcasting.
This asset belongs to the public. You ask
them rst. What youre doing is wrong,
said Rosenberg.
Rosenbergs concerns were not her own.
All of the handful of speakers echoed her
concerns and some had questions about the
transparency of the process.
Board President Karen Schwarz disagreed
with accusations that the process hasnt
been transparent. Talks have been going on
for two years which has included multiple
public meetings, she said.
This is the districts second attempt at
getting bids to sell the station. Six bids
were received in February 2012.
Negotiations with the two responsive high-
est bidders were not successful. As a result,
the board rejected all bids in October and
decided to give it another go.
KCSM-TV began operating in 1964 at its
current location at the College of San
Mateo. The non-commercial station broad-
casts a variety of programs including televi-
sion courses, the numbers for which have
dropped in recent years in favor of online
classes. The district will be keeping its
radio station, KCSM.

NEW ORLEANS The suspect in a
Mothers Day parade shooting that left 19
people wounded in New Orleans was taken
into custody Wednesday night, police said.
Akein Scott, 19, was arrested in the Little
Woods section of eastern New Orleans, police
department spokeswoman Remi Braden said.
She said no additional details were available
and would not be until Thursday morning.
An earlier police news release said Scott had
previously been arrested on charges of illegal
carrying of a weapon, illegal possession of a
stolen rearm, resisting an ofcer, contra-
band to jail, illegal carry-
ing of a weapon while in
possession of a controlled
dangerous substance and
possession of heroin.
It was not immediately
clear whether Scott, who
was arrested this past
March, had been convicted
on any of those charges.
Video released Monday
showed a crowd gathered
for the Sunday parade suddenly scattering in
all directions, with some falling to the
ground. They appear to be running from a man
in a white T-shirt and dark pants who turns and
runs out of the picture.
Police said they identied the suspect from
the surveillance camera images.
Two children were among those wounded.
Gun violence has ared at two other city
celebrations this year. Five people were
wounded in a drive-by shooting in January
after a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade, and
four were wounded in a shooting after an argu-
ment in the French Quarter in the days leading
up to Mardi Gras. Two teens were arrested in
connection with the MLK Day shootings;
three men were arrested and charged in the
Mardi Gras shootings.

Long a companion for artists, the
color wheel can also be a handy tool for
gardeners.
Gardening author Sydney Eddison
created a wheel that has 252 colors
instead of the usual 12. Thats because
nature doesnt work with a limited
palette, she says.
In nature you have already been
dealt this hand. You only have to learn
how to play it, she says.
Even all of the tints, shades and
tones in Eddisons The Gardeners
Color Wheel dont capture the diversi-
ty of whats really growing out there.
But she says its a good way to start
seeing colors in the garden and how
they relate to each other.
The color wheel trains your eye to
look, to really look, says Eddison,
author of six books including The
Gardeners Palette (Contemporary
Books, 2003). You begin to under-
stand why certain things work, or why
you like a Christmas wreath thats red
and green and why youre happy to see
purple and yellow crocuses together.
In both examples, the two colors are
complementary opposite each other
on the color wheel and in color the-
ory, opposites attract.
In garden planning, colors are used
to create either contrast or harmony,
says Eddison, who has tended 2 1/2
acres in Newtown, Conn., for half a
century.
Contrast calls attention to itself. It
gives a jolt, says Eddison, 81.
Whereas harmony is a sigh of relief.
Colors adjacent on the color wheel,
such as the warm shades of red and
orange or the cool tones of blue and
green, create harmony together.
Take a color wheel into the yard to
parse out particular colors. Take it to
the garden center to help pick out
plants for the summer.
Then play in the soil.
Eddison recommends experimenting
with color in pots on the terrace.
Dont force a color theme on the
garden, she warns. It has different
colors at different times of the year.
Color also changes throughout the
day, depending on the light.
Eddison changes her patio pots every
year, and paints her garden furniture to
coordinate.
Sometimes my color schemes are a
little wild I had a Crayola color scheme
one year, she says. People were
blinded by it, but I loved it.
The year that I did yellow, white and
yellow-green, that was terrific,
Eddison says. And I painted the furni-
ture yellow.
Look to fabrics or famous artwork
(Monets paintings, for example) for
color inspiration, she suggests.
Or simply trust nature, which turns
out complementary color combina-
tions all its own, says Betina Fink, an
oil painter who teaches color theory in
Tucson, Ariz.
There are these beautiful, naturally
occurring complementary colors, she
says. During spring in the Southwest,
for example, prickly pear cacti sport
buds and blooms ranging from yellows
to purples.
Jeni Webber, a Berkeley, Calif., land-
scape architect and Eddisons niece,
also suggests taking natures lead.
Purple, yellow, white and soft pink
constitute natures palette in California
elds, she says, and they look great
together.
Nature doesnt worry about things
matching, says Webber. But usually
it does.
When planning a garden, remember
that cool colors, such as blues and vio-
lets, recede, says Fink. Warm colors
reds, oranges and yellows want to
take center stage. Green natures
most abundant color in many places
is the great peacemaker, says
Eddison.
Green doesnt call attention to itself
or vanish, Eddison says. It helps har-
monize all of the color schemes.
An incompatible color scheme can
be softened by incorporating more
soothing green foliage. In particular,
gray and gray-green foliage helps
blend colors.
Meanwhile, a little white goes a long
way in the garden, warns Eddison.
It is the lightest and brightest and
most eye-catching color in the gar-
den, she says. It requires special han-
dling.
White works well with individual
colors or combined with pastels. Low-
growing white owers, such as the
tickseed plant Star Cluster
Coreopsis, when spread throughout a
garden can help the eye scan its sur-
roundings.
Flowers come and go, but foliage
often remains year-round, so plan it
carefully, says Webber. She likes
orange foliage, a relative newcomer,
and mentions the perennial Heuchera
Marmalade, a variety of coral bells.
Instead of hard and fast rules, Webber
trusts her eyes to know when two plant
colors clash: Abad combination hurts.
If Im cheating and putting colors
together that dont go well together,
Ill see how my eyes are feeling, she
says.
Create garden color the artists way
Experimenting with color in pots on the terrace can give your
garden a unique feel.

BOULDER, Colo. Ethan Welty is
thinking ahead to harvest time as he
cycles through tidy Boulder streets
pointing out apple, plum and mulberry
trees on public and private land.
Were coming up on the best apple
trees in Boulder, said Welty, a geogra-
pher and PhD student specializing in
glaciers in the University of
Colorados Environmental Studies
program. He was approaching a front-
yard grove of trees.
Last summer and fall, Welty said, he
never went to a supermarket for fruit.
He had two apple trees in his own yard,
but began looking for more produce
when he bought a cider press. Once he
started paying attention, he was aston-
ished at the bounty, and determined it
should be shared. Now, it can be,
thanks to a website Welty started with
a fellow CU student with shared inter-
ests in computers and urban foraging.
And the sharing goes well beyond
Boulder.

trees on public spaces.
I go around now with my head up
in the canopy, looking for new
things, Welty said.
When hes not cycling or walking
the streets of Boulder looking up, his
head is bowed over his laptop, search-
ing for new sources or opening emails
with offers of maps. As word spread,
fallingfruit.org went international,
with information coming from
Australia, Britain, India, Israel and
elsewhere. Welty was even sent a map
of breadfruit trees on the Indian Ocean
island of Mauritius.
Clearly, there are some people out
there who think both these things are
cool, Phillips said of the nexus of
computer and food savvy. Apparently
there are enough people who think
both of these things are cool that we
have 600,000 sources.
Welty and Phillips had each created
small, local urban edibles maps before
they happened upon each other at a
meeting of Boulder Food Rescue, a
volunteer organization Phillips had
helped found to ferry to the needy the
kind of perishable food that often gets
tossed out by restaurants and grocery
stores. Phillips, a Portland, Ore.
native, was headed to the San
Francisco area, where he now is based
as a telecommuting CU adjunct profes-
sor of computer science. The day he
met Welty, he had time to do little
more than hand him his card.
I didnt expect anything to come of
it, Phillips said in a telephone inter-
view. Then, over the next two
months, it was like, every day, I was
working late at night on this.
Two months later, in March, their
site was launched.
Users rst click on a hot spot on the
sites large-scale map. Then, with a
series of clicks to more and more
detailed maps, home in on, say, a myr-
tle in Tallahassee, Fla. A spotter has
added a note about its guava-like fruit
a bunch, and super tasty. Links
from there lead to more information
from the Department of Agriculture or
Wikipedia about a particular plant.
Welty and Phillips welcome additions
and updates.
They see the site as a way to bring
together people who share their inter-
ests all over the world, online. They
also envision real-world connections:
Site users are advised to ask rst before
picking fruit on private property,
which could lead to neighbors taking
time to chat. Many people with fruit
trees in their yards can be over-
whelmed by produce, and are more than
happy for help harvesting and con-
suming, Welty and Phillips have
found. Some of the information they
have mapped comes from property
owners who want the world to know
about their trees.
The site also lists organizations that
can get surplus produce to the hungry.
Its a gateway activity it certain-
ly was for me to some of the larger
issues with food, said Welty, who
grew up in Seattle and France, and says
he learned an appreciation for local
food in the latter.
If Caleb and I really get to dream-
ing, and we do, then its much more
about invigorating an awareness of the
potential for urban agriculture, Welty
said.
Found fruit: Online map is gateway to edibles
The variety of food that can be found growing in cities is
striking. Not just dates or apples, but lindens, whose leaves
can be used for tea,or Brazilian pepper trees in San Francisco
whose fruit can be dried,ground and used like black pepper.

MILWAUKEE Theres no question that
Eric Ciula picked a bad year to get into a
competition for growing the biggest toma-
to. The worst U.S. drought in decades was
gripping two-thirds of the nation, and
many gardeners were spending hours water-
ing just to keep their plants alive.
But Ciula won his familys 2012 contest
with an heirloom tomato that was just shy
of 2 pounds. He credits his soil preparation
and some experimental growing techniques,
but he admits it was largely dumb luck.
I didnt know we were going to have a
drought, I was just trying something new,
Ciula said.
April is a planning month for gardeners
throughout the middle of the country, and
many are trying to gure out what to do
amid rapidly shifting weather conditions.
Ciula himself spent a recent rainy day going
through his notes, researching tomato and
pepper varieties and combing gardening
blogs for new ideas.
Acold spring and recent rain helped break
the drought in parts of Wisconsin and to the
east, but areas west remain dry. More rain
than usual is expected this spring, said
Brian Fuchs, a climatologist with the
National Drought Mitigation Center. But he
noted last years drought sneaked up on
everyone, emerging over a couple of weeks
in June.
With nothing certain, one expert said
there a few things gardeners can do to foster
success regardless of weather conditions.
Mulch works wonders, according to Tim
Johnson, director of horticulture at the
Chicago Botanic Garden. It helps keep
moisture in the soil, protects plants from
extreme temperature, helps control weeds
and, as it breaks down, improves the soil.
Johnson said shredded hardwood bark mulch
is commonly used for ower gardens where
he lives, but for vegetable gardens, he
would use leaf mulch or apply compost.
Many gardeners water each day, but
Johnson recommends saving time by doing
it once a week with a big drink. Perennials,
Gardeners make plans with no certainty in forecast

trees and shrubs can be starved of water
a bit without permanent damage, but
gardeners need to watch for drooping
or discolored leaves.
If you have a perennial garden or a
shrub garden, and things are starting
to brown up, you probably should
water to save them, Johnson said.
Jean Roach, a 71-year-old retiree
from Joliet, Ill., took that approach
last summer with her perennials. She
gave extra water to a few new plants
she was trying to get established, but
unless the older ones started wilting,
she left them alone.
They survived, she said, noting
that her Lenten roses have already
bloomed. Thank God. Perennials are
just so hardy.
Vegetable gardens, however, are
another story. Johnson said those need
more water and on a regular basis. To
help, till in compost to add nutrients
and break up the soil so roots can more
easily push down to moisture below
the surface.
Ciula, a 40-year-old civil engineer,
said he put peat moss into his 12-by-
22-foot garden in Cottage Grove,
Wis., and then layered mulch and straw
on top to help hold in moisture. He let
his tomatoes the focus of the family
competition get 6 or 7 feet tall, but
only caged them to 4 feet. The tops
owed over and created a canopy that
he believes also helped hold in mois-
ture.
Despite the drought and an abnormal
number of days over 90 degrees, Ciula
got 100 pounds of tomatoes from
seven plants. He said hes not sure he
would try the canopy in a wetter year,
but he plans to stick with the layering,
as it helped reduce weeds.
Alison Hess, a 35-year-old graphic
designer from Columbus, Ohio, large-
ly gave up last year. A number of her
tomato plants didnt blossom, and
then an animal began eating the fruit
that did grow.
The one bit of success she did have
was laying four tomato plants out in a
Japanese ring. She shaped a trellis
into a square, placed burlap inside and
then lled it with compost. Then, she
planted the tomato plants around the
outside of the trellis. She would pour
water into the middle of the trellis,
allowing it to ow through the com-
post before spreading out to the
plants.
I think the idea is that the plants are
getting a constant drip of nutrition,
Hess said, adding, It worked, and I got
a lot of tomatoes off of those four
plants.
She plans to do the same thing again
this year.
The best water, however, is always
stormwater. Rain cools down the
atmosphere, washes dust from leaves
and helps clear the air of pollutants
three things that foster photosynthe-
sis, said Boyce Tankersley, the direc-
tor of living plant documentation at
the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Tankersley, who monitors the gar-
dens plants and growing conditions,
said thunderstorms are even more ben-
eficial because lightning gives off
some nitrogen.

Notes on a special daphne
By Lee Reich
I fell in love with Carol Mackie almost from the day she
arrived here. True, she was nothing special to look at early
on, but she always had a becoming daintiness.
And what a looker she has become, with a full, round head
of stems, along which fan out like pinwheels lance-shaped,
bluish-green leaves, each with a creamy white margin trac-
ing its edge.
And Carol a kind of daphne doesnt stop at just look-
ing good. Every spring, each of her stems is capped by a
tight cluster of small, white owers. As they open and age to
pink, they infuse the air with a deliciously sweet perfume.
One more bonus of Carol Mackie is that she is evergreen,
although in more northern regions she is semi-evergreen or
deciduous. She does look a bit ragged each year by winters
end, but its not long before shes dressed up again in new
leafery. Anyway, my attention during that ragged period is
distracted by the colorful show of daffodils, crocuses and
species tulips at her feet.
DAPHNE DEATH
I am thankful each year that Carol Mackie has ourished in
my garden because, like other daphnes, she has the unfortu-
nate habit of dying suddenly. Daphnes frequently expire
after being moved; sometimes they die for no apparent rea-
son at all. But my Carol Mackie has survived and thrived
after being ripped out of the ground and replanted to make
way for a construction project.
The fact that gardeners put up with the threat of Daphne
Death is testimonial to the plants virtues.
And there are other garden-worthy daphnes. Carol Mackie
is a hybrid of rose daphne, a wide-spreading evergreen grow-
ing only 6 inches high, and Caucasian daphne, which grows
5 feet high. Both species have fragrant owers. These
species were mated with an eye to combining their qualities
into one plant.
CAROL COMES FROM A GOOD FAMILY
The mating resulted in only three viable seeds, and of the
three resulting seedlings only two survived. Those two grew
to become the 3-foot-high varieties Somerset and Arthur
Burkwood. Carol Mackie originated from a chance mutation
on one of those hybrids branches. This happy event took
place and was discovered in the New Jersey garden of
Carolyn Brett, formerly Carol Mackie.

This is unprecedented for the mid-
Peninsula, said Melinda Neal,
Intches chief operating ofcer.
There are no medical marijuana dis-
pensaries between San Francisco and
Santa Clara counties, she said, making
San Mateo County an underserved
community.
The event is also not about recre-
ational use, she said, but purely about
patients rights.
About 20,000 people attended a pre-
vious Intche event at the Cow Palace
but only about 5,000 tickets are avail-
able for the Hyatt event this Saturday
and Sunday.
Intche secured its special-event per-
mit for the private property festival
after working with Burlingame police,
re and public works ofcials, said
police Sgt. Don Shepley.
Temporary fencing will be put up
around the old movie theater and
Intche will pay the overtime for a cou-
ple of Burlingame police, Shepley
said.
Neal is pleased with the response she
has gotten from the city so far.
The city has been a gracious host
and has taken a non-biased position,
Neal said. There is an understanding
of the evolution of this social issue.
Intche will allow no children at the
event, a fact that pleases police.
Someone 18, however, will be able to
smoke their own marijuana at the
event if they have a valid identica-
tion card.
Shepley said the police department
does not condone the festival but
that the organizers have the right to
hold it on private property. They Hyatt
is a 125,000-square-foot facility and
has a parking area that faces the water.
It cannot be restricted, Shepley
said.
The festival is about highlighting
the medical benets of marijuana and
hemp products, Neal said.
Some of the most conservative
people I know have changed their
views after getting sick who then feel
better after using marijuana, Neal
said. Its about replacing toxic drugs
with natural hemp products.
Marijuana was once a leading medi-
cine, she said.
One of the events sponsors, Be
Legally Green, will be at the Hyatt for
those patients who would like to renew
an expired recommendation or obtain a
new one.
It will also feature Ed Rosenthals
Wonders of Cannabis Rolling
Contest to see who is the best joint
roller.
Some of the events major sponsors
are the Berkeley Patients Group,
Bhang Medicinal Chocolate, Sonoma
Patient Group and Be Legally Green.
Vendors include San Mateos The
Cave, Totally Baked Ladies, Purple
Lotus, Lava Trap and Hempteeness.
Food vendors will also be on site
including Ben & Jerrys and Calaa
Taqueria.
The Intche by the Bay Festival is 10
a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 18 and
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 19.
Tickets are $15 for one day and $20 for
two days. Special VIP tickets are also

They will be sentenced June 21 and
remain free from custody on varying
amounts of bail.
Obviously, the jury found the case
to be a mixed bag in light of the evi-
dence, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
The holiday encounter began when
two San Bruno police ofcers, acting
as part of a countywide fireworks
abatement team, saw a M-1000 lobbed
from an apartment complex to the
street and roll underneath their car.
They chased the suspect, Wendell
Rapada, to an East Avenue complex
and up to an outside balcony. The pros-
ecution argued that as Rapada punched
at the ofcers, his cousins Crystal and
Ervin Rapada and father Ephraim
DeVera Rapada exited the apartment
and joined in. The elder Rapada was
also accused of trying to lift an ofcer
over the balcony which is 13 feet
above ground and another reported
feeling somebody try to remove his
gun as he lost consciousness.
Another group of ofcers responded
to calls for backup and arrested the four
Rapadas charged in the case. Two oth-
ers were accused of ghting with the
responding ofcers, not the original
assault upstairs, so they were only
cited for misdemeanor battery on an
officer and released. The District
Attorneys Office declined to file
charges against either, citing insuf-
cient evidence.
One ofcer was hospitalized with a
concussion and two received black
eyes and facial contusions.
During the trial, defense attorneys
called many character witnesses,
neighbors and relatives who said the
police rather than the family were the
ones exerting the brute force.
The jury was fairly quiet during its
deliberations but did request last week
readback of one ofcers testimony
about Crystal Rapadas conduct.
Wendell Rapada faces up to four
years in prison now because of his
prior felony conviction. The others
face up to a year in jail.

ry is attached to the back of the

Balton said there were two bodies in
the crematory scheduled for cremation
when the re started. Both bodies were
still intact after reghters doused the

It is not yet known what caused the

accidental.
The crematory was destroyed, Balton
said. The chapel sustained some dam-
age, but he was unaware of the extent.

quickly, however; the chance wont come again soon.

your mind, you must move immediately.

isnt likely to be conducted along conventional

materially and educationally. Give it a shot.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have your own
unique way of handling something, and you

Serving The Peninsula
for over 25years
By Pan Pylas and Sarah DiLorenzo
PARIS The eurozone is now in its
longest ever recession a stubborn
slump that has surpassed even the
calamity that hit the region in the
nancial crisis of 2008-2009.
The European Union statistics ofce
said Wednesday that nine of the 17 EU
countries that use the euro are in reces-
sion, with France a notable addition to
the list. Overall, the eurozones econo-
my contracted for the sixth straight
quarter, shrinking by 0.2 percent in the
January-March period from the previ-
ous three months.
Though the contraction is an
improvement on the previous quarters
0.6 percent decline, its another unwel-
come report for the single-currency
bloc as it grapples with a debt crisis
that has prompted governments to
slash spending and raise taxes.
The eurozone is facing a double
blow from necessary restructuring of
its domestic economy and somewhat
disappointing growth in world trade, in
particular demand from emerging mar-
kets, said Marie Diron, senior eco-
nomic adviser to Ernst & Young.
This recession is not nearly as deep
as the one in 2008-9, which ran for ve
quarters, but it is now the longest in the
14-year history of the euro. Arecession
is typically dened as two straight
quarters of negative growth.
Austerity measures have inflicted
severe economic pain and produced
social unrest across the eurozone,
where the average unemployment rate
is a record 12.1 percent and higher in
some places. In Spain, its 26.7 per-
cent and in Greece 27.2 percent.
Wednesdays report also brought bad
news for the wider 27-country EU,
which includes non-euro members such
as Britain and Poland. The EU too is
now in recession after shrinking by a
quarterly rate of 0.1 percent in the rst
quarter, following a 0.5 percent drop in
the previous period.
With a population of more than half a
billion people, the EU is the worlds
largest export market. If it remains
stuck in reverse, companies in the U.S.
and Asia will be hit. Last month, U.S.-
based Ford Motor Co. lost $462 mil-
lion in Europe and called the outlook
there uncertain. McDonalds saw its
sales in Europe, the hamburger chains
biggest market outside the U.S., fall
1.1 percent of in the rst quarter.
Other major economies have faltered
this year but none are in recession. The
annualized contraction in the euro-
zone, based on this quarters gures, of
around 0.9 percent contrasts with the
equivalent expansion of the U.S. of 2.5
percent. Meanwhile, China, the
worlds No. 2 economy, is growing
around 8 percent a year.
For many analysts, that discrepancy
highlights Europes awed economic
approach since the end of the nancial
crisis. Instead of keeping the spending
taps on as the U.S. has largely done
the region concentrated on austerity
even though companies and consumers
werent able to plug the gap left by the
retrenching state.
However, there have been some
recent indications that Europes leaders
are willing to ease up on their adher-
ence to cuts and tax increases at a time
of recession. Some countries, for
example, are being given more time to
meet certain economic and nancial
targets.
Eurozone in its longest recession ever
Geneva auction sells huge diamond for $26.7M
GENEVA A huge diamond unearthed in Botswana com-
manded an unearthly price of $26.7 million from Christies
auction house Wednesday amid the spring ritual of well-heeled
bidders ocking or phoning in to Genevas luxury sales.
The pear-shaped gem accounted for more than a quarter of
the $102 million in sales rung up by Christies Wednesday
night, a night after Sothebys had $78 million in sales.
Aperfect diamond commands a perfect price, Christies
trumpeted on Twitter of the record sale price for the largest
D-color awless diamond ever offered at auction a whop-
ping 101.73 carats that took 21 months to polish.
Jewelry, watches and other luxury items are sold every
spring by the big auction houses at Genevas elegant lake-
front hotels seemingly a world away from some
European countries whose economies are shrinking as their
governments enact often tough budget austerity measures to
get a handle on their debts.
U.N. General Assembly approves Syria resolution
UNITED NATIONS The U.N. General Assembly
approved an Arab-backed resolution Wednesday calling for
a political transition in Syria, but more than 70 countries
refused to vote yes because of its support for the main
opposition group and fears the resolution could torpedo a
new U.S.-Russia effort to end the escalating conict.
The United States co-sponsored the resolution, saying it
would promote a political solution. But key Syrian ally Russia
urged a no vote, saying it was counterproductive and irre-
sponsible to promote a one-sided resolution when Moscow
and Washington are trying to get the Syrian government and
opposition to agree to negotiations. The resolution, which is
not legally binding though it can carry moral weight, was
approved by a vote of 107-12 with 59 abstentions.
Russia says alleged spying
case was second this year
MOSCOW ARussian security services operative his
features bathed in shadows went on state television
Wednesday to claim that the U.S. diplomat who was ordered
out of the country was the second American expelled this
year over spying allegations.
The anonymous operative said the CIA had failed to halt
this disturbing activity despite Moscow asking it to do so.
The TV report came one day after Russia ordered Ryan
Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy, to leave the
country after the Federal Security Service claimed to have
caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent in
Moscow.
