22-YEAR-OLD MAN KILLS 6, SELF IN SANTA BARBARA RAMPAGE

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Carlos City Council
still has several steps to take
before potentially striking a land
deal with its elementary school dis-
trict for the Charter Learning
Center but at least one councilman
says he doesnt even think the city
should make the rst move.
At Tuesdays meeting, the coun-
cil will be asked to call for the dis-
continuance of its North Crestview
site as park land as required by law
for that particular zoning change.
The city is also required to put the
question on the ballot but before
the council can ofcially call for an
election it must rst set a protest
hearing.
Councilman Matt Grocott said he
will not vote in favor of even hav-
ing that hearing because he wants
the city to keep the Crestview land
rather than potentially sell, swap
or lease it to the San Carlos
E l e m e n t a r y
School District.
You dont
trample on the
minority just
because you can
with a democrat-
ic vote,
Grocott said.
When it was
designated a
park, there was a promise made if
you will to the citizens of San
Carlos that this would stay a park
and people could
rest assured in
that status.
Grocott said
hed feel differ-
ently if only a
few people
remained that
cared deeply
about the matter
but that there
are simply enough people around
who remember why it was done and
feel strong enough about it.
Mayor Mark Olbert has been a
very vocal proponent of a swap
deal between the city and district
for land it owns near the Tierra
Linda Middle School campus. He
strongly believes that the city
should move forward with the deci-
sion because the two sides are still
talking. If those discussions
should falter, then the decision t o
hold the protest hearing can lapse,
he said.
Council considers protest hearing over land swap

San Mateo County is asking a judge to prohibit a
Menlo Park man from continuing his litigious ways
after filing dozens of incoherent lawsuits over two
decades that the County Counsels Office says tie up the
courts and keep attorneys from handling other work.
The County Counsels Office filed a petition seeking
to have Harvey Blight deemed a vexatious litigant
which would prohibit him from filing any new lawsuits
without first getting San Mateo County Superior Court
approval. To do so, a judge must find that Blight either
began or maintained at least five lawsuits for at least
two years without a trial or hearing; relitigates matters
after a case has been decided; repeatedly files frivolous
motions and requests; or has been previously declared
vexatious by a court.

The clock is winding down for
Sequoia Union High School
Districts $265 million bond
aimed at helping address over-
crowding and enrollment growth,
as its set for a vote in about one
week.
A facilities task force recom-
mended the bond that will gener-
ate an approximate $16 per
$100,000 tax rate based on cur-
rent interest bonds to allow for
two small schools of 300 to 400
students and for six additional
classrooms to Menlo-Atherton
High School. Godbe Research
completed a voter survey regard-
ing a potential measure to sup-
port the districts four compre-
hensive high schools and alter-
native high school programs.
The results showed strong sup-
port for a measure, reaching 68.4
percent for a simulated June elec-
tion. Support was generally con-
sistent in the school district
regions that feed into the high
school district. Measure A
requires a 55 percent yes vote on
this June 3 ballot item.
The Daily Journal sat down with
those for and against Measure A
last week.
The argument in favor states to
ensure that our local schools con-
tinue offering a challenging, var-
ied and top-quality curriculum as
student enrollment grows,
Measure A is critical now. Its
signed by bond co-chair Julia
Horak; Redwood City
Councilwoman Alicia Aguirre;

Naked man playing
violin at courthouse jailed
PORTLAND, Ore. A naked man
playing violin in front of a downtown
Portland courthouse Saturday refused to
walk to a squad car and had to be carried
by police.
Police say they arent sure of the
mans identity. He told them his name is
Matthew T. Mglej and that he is 25 years
old.
The brand of the violin was unknown
on Saturday morning.
The man was jailed under the Portland
city code forbidding indecent exposure.
Police say they warned the man
numerous times about his lack of
attire, but he refused to dress himself or
leave public view.
City police refrain from enforcing the
code during Portlands World Naked Bike
Ride as long as participants keep to the
designated route. The event draws about
8,000 riders each June.
Woman among worlds
oldest turning 115 years young
INKSTER, Mich. A Detroit-area
woman, a member of a select group of
the living to have been born in the 19th
century, is celebrating a birthday on
Friday.
Her 115th.
Jeralean Tal l ey, who was born
May 23, 1899, went fishing last
year and still gets around on her
own with the help of a walker.
The Inkster resident plans to celebrate
with family and friends at a local church
on Sunday.
On her actual birthday - Friday - Talley
is going to the doctor for a checkup,
although she says she doesnt feel sick.
But Talleys knees occasionally
hurt, her right hand shakes, she has a
hard time hearing and her memory
comes and goes.
Her answer as to why she has lived so
long hasnt changed over the years.
Its all in the good Lords hands,
Talley told the Detroit Free Press.
Theres nothing I can do about it.
Talley is the oldest-living American
and the second-oldest person in the
world, according to a list maintained
by the Gerontology Research Group,
which tracks the worlds longest-liv-
ing people.
The Gerontology Research Group ver-
ied Talleys age using census data.
Japan resident Misao Okawa, 116, tops
the list.
Talley, whose husband died in 1988,
is cared for by a 76-year-old daughter
who lives with her.
Five generations of the family are liv-
ing in the area, including a great-great-
grandson.
Surprise delivery baby
raccoons at New York agency
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Someone left
ve well-fed baby raccoons on the
doorstep of the Westchester County
Health Department Friday morning, and
the department said that person should
call immediately to be assessed for the
possibility of rabies.
The month-old raccoons were deliv-
ered to the departments ofce in Mount
Kisco in a cage with bottles of milk,
blankets and toys, the department said.
They appear to have been well cared
for and nurtured, which means that there
was direct contact between these rac-
coons and the person or people who
were caring for them, said Dr. Sherlita
Amler, the county health commissioner.
Thats why its important that we talk
to the individual or individuals who left
them to determine if they may have been
potentially exposed to rabies.
Raccoons are among the most com-
mon carriers of rabies, a disease that is
fatal if not quickly treated.
Department spokeswoman Caren
Halbnger said if the raccoons caretak-
er comes forward, he or she will be asked
about any bites or scratches. Ofcials
also want to know if the raccoons
mother was sick.
That would help determine whether the
animals must be tested for rabies, which
can only be done by killing them, and if
any people need treatment.
The raccoons were placed with a cer-
tied wildlife rehabilitator who will
watch them for signs of the disease.

W
hen World War II broke out, there
were less than 400,000 service
men ready to defend the United
States. The population of the United States
was 132,164,469, however most of this
population was on the West and East coasts.
The Americans were able to muster up six
ghter planes when the Japanese attacked
and they began engaging in dogghts, but
were shot down almost immediately. Most of
the airplanes never got off of the ground and
were destroyed by the Japanese. There were
new B-17s arriving from San Diego and they
were immediately attacked. The B-17s were
not armed and most were destroyed almost
immediately. Most of the remaining B-17s
we had were destroyed in the Philippines in
their rst engagement of the war. Airplanes
and manpower were needed immediately ...
and just about everything else to ght a war
for which we were not prepared.
Luckily, Congresswoman Edith Nurse
Rogers had introduced a bill in Congress in
May of 1941 that allowed creation of an all-
volunteer womans corps in the Army (The
Air Force was still under the control of the
Army). It wasnt, however, until May of
1942 that Congress approved a bill creating
the Womens Army Auxiliary Corps
(WAAC). It wasnt until that this bill had
transformed the WAAC to the Womens
Army Corps (WAC) that the women attained
Army military status. They enlisted "for the
duration and six months.
In 1940, Nancy Harkness Love (a test
pilot) and Jacqueline Cochran had made sep-
arate proposals to the Army Air Force to
begin a womens program utilized for ferry-
ing aircraft from factories to airports, pull
drones and aerial targets to relieve male
pilots from this duty as they were needed at
the front. They were both refused at rst but,
on Sept. 10, 1942, Loves proposal was
accepted. Jackie Cochran was outraged at
this pick and, on Sept. 15, 1942, her plan
was also put into motion. It wasnt until
July 1943 that the two plans were merged
and the WASP, or Women Airforce Service
Pilots, was formed.
Each WASP had a pilots license and had
about 1,400 ying hours. They were imme-
diately retrained in the "Army way during
30 days of orientation and then were
assigned to various ferrying commands. The
women were not trained for combat but their
course of instruction was almost the same as
that used for aviation cadets. The WASPs
were considered civil service and did not
receive military benets. On June 21, 1944,
a House bill to give WASP military status
was narrowly defeated. Immediately they
began ferrying light aircraft and primary
trainers such as Stearmans and PT-19
Fairchilds. They quickly rose to check out
larger aircraft including pursuit planes such
as the P-38 and P-51.
Dec. 20, 1944 marked the end of the WASP
program. At the conclusion of the WASPpro-
gram, 915 women pilots were on duty with
the AAF: 620 assigned to the Training
Command, 141 to the Air Transport
Command, 133 to the numbered air forces in
the continental United States, 11 to the
Weather Wing, nine to the technical com-
mands and one to the Troop Carrier
Command. The G.I. Improvement Act of
1977, signed by President Jimmy Carter,
gave the WASP corps full military status for
their service. In 1984, each WASPwas award-
ed the World War II Victory Medal. Those who
served for more than one year were also
awarded American Theater Ribbon/American
Campaign Metal for their service during the
war. On July 1, 2009, President Barack
Obama and U.S. Congress awarded the WASP
the Congressional Gold Medal.

Man arrested in Half Moon Bay
shopping center stabbing
Sheriffs deputies in Half Moon Bay
arrested a 20-year-old man on Thursday in
connection with the stabbing of another
man earlier that day in a shopping center
parking lot. According to San Mateo
County Sheriffs Department spokes-
woman Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt,
Francisco Miramontes of Half Moon Bay
was located at his home and arrested at
about 5 p.m. Thursday.
Rosenblatt said deputies responded to a
call at about 1:40 p.m. Thursday about a
man who had been stabbed in the arm in
the parking lot of the Strawflower Village
Shopping Center, located on North
Cabrillo Highway.
The victim and two employees were
landscapers working in the area. The vic-
tim told deputies that he was sitting in his
truck when a young Hispanic man uttered a
gang-related statement, then stabbed him.
The suspect then ran out of the parking
lot, according to Rosenblatt.
Through their investigation, deputies
identified Miramontes and arrested him in
connection with the stabbing and assault
with a deadly weapon.
The victim was transported to the hospi-
tal to be treated for his injuries, which are
not considered to be life-threatening.
Miramontes was booked into Maguire
Correctional Facility in Redwood City.
Sheriffs officials are asking anyone
with information on this crime to contact
San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
Detective Jon Sebring at (650) 363-4057,
via email at jsebring@smcgov. org, or by
calling the Anonymous Tip Line at (800)
547-2700.
5 people rescued after boat
collides with whale near Pescadero
Five people safely evacuated a motor-
boat after colliding with a whale off the
coast of Pescadero Saturday afternoon,
according to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office.
At about 2:40 p.m., sheriffs deputies
received a report that a boat had collided
with a whale about five to ten miles from
shore, San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
Rosenblatt said the occupants of the
boat reported seeing the whale and feeling
their boat collide with it.
The boats engine was disabled during
the collision and strong waves started
pushing the vessel closer to the rocky
coast. Once near the shore, all five boaters
were able to disembark the vessel and get
to dry land near Pebble Beach, Rosenblatt
said.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
assisted in getting a salvage company to
the boat, which had been pushed up close
to the rocks in the protected marine sanc-
tuary, Rosenblatt said.
Deputies and the salvage team are work-
ing to ensure the ecosystem is protected
from possible gas or oil spillage during
the salvage operation.
Both the whale and the boaters appear to
be uninjured, Rosenblatt said.

The controversial reassignment
of a popular fourth-grade teacher
at South Elementary School in
Hillsborough to transitional
kindergarten is sticking per a
final decision announced Friday
much to the dismay of parents
who want her to stay in the fourth-
grade.
After a great deal of thought
and consideration, I have made
the following tentative grade
level assignments for the 2014-
15 school year, wrote South
Principal Elizabeth Veal in a
memo to parents Friday. These
are considered tentative place-
ments for two important reasons:
1). Enrollment numbers can
always change over the summer,
creating the need to make differ-
ent class congurations and 2).
We still need to hire a PE teacher,
so that too could change the
placements listed below.
Feinn is still listed as a transi-
tional kindergarten teacher in the
memo. Previously, given feed-
back from parents, former stu-
dents and others at a community
meeting, Veal, who said the deci-
sion was nal in early May, said
with further consideration, she
was going to come to a nal deci-
sion later in the month.
When parents found out Veal had
made the change, a Change.org
petition received 450 signatures
called Use Our School District
Assets Wisely Take a stand
against moving Sandy Feinn to
Transitional Kindergarten began
to circulate with many parents
feeling like the decision was
either not wise or was in retalia-
tion for voicing opposition to
the district administration.
Feinn, who has taught fourth-
grade for more than 30 years in
Hillsborough, has led a formal
grievance with the teachers union
about the decision to move her.
In a video released this past
week, Trustee Kaarin Hardy
explained that teachers are not
just hired to teach one grade or
hired to a specic school, but are
hired by the district.
The reason we and other school
districts do this is to provide ex-
ibility to both our teachers and
principals and meeting the needs
of our students our schools and
the overall development of our
teachers, she said in the three-
and-a-half minute video.
Some members of the communi-
ty were displeased with the video,
including Ellen Feeney Hiemstra,
whose fourth child is currently in
Feinns class.
Is this the legacy that you want
to leave? Feeney Hiemstra wrote
in an email to Hardy, who is leav-
ing the board this summer to
move out of the country. Going
along with a decision that smacks
of age discrimination? Forcing
the involuntary reassignment of a
31-year veteran who has had a
long history of stellar results
with fourth-graders? This reas-
signment is clearly not in the
best interest of either entering
transitional kindergartners or
fourth-graders.
Feeney Hiemstra said the dis-
tricts mission is to work in part-
nership with the community and
it is ignoring the voice of 400
parents who have had personal
experience with Feinn. Feeney
Hiemstra also specifically ques-
tions Veals decision to bring in a
teacher from White Oaks
Elementary School in San Carlos
to teach kindergarten at South
when she could have easily taught
transitional kindergarten, she
said.
We are going to trust that a new
principal knows best? Feeney
Hiemstra wrote. That she relates
to her staff who are now terried?
I understand that reversing a
nal decision is hard. But I am
more worried about the fallout if
Sandy wins her CTA (California
Teachers Association) and DFEH
(Department of Fair Employment
and Housing) lings.
Still, Superintendent Anthony
Ranii previously said the deci-
sion to move Feinn from teach-
ing 10-year-olds to 4-year-olds
was thought out and the princi-
pal ultimately made the best
choice based on her sound judg-
ment. Feeney Hiemstra believes
Ranii dislikes Feinn for speak-
ing out against the administra-
tion at times and said the move
is part of punishing her.
We have heard from parents
and community members during
three different meetings, numer-
ous phone calls, emails and let-
ters and have had many face-to-
face conversations, Ranii said in
a statement. Some have asked
that Ms. Feinns placement be
changed, others have supported
Ms. Veals placements, and still
others acknowledge that the pro-
fessional educator should be the
one to make these types of impor-
tant decisions. We deeply appreci-
ate the passion our community
has for our schools, for our teach-
ers, and most of all for the stu-
dents at South and across the dis-
trict. While the opinions on this
matter differ, all of us fervently
want what is best for South.
Veal did explain the decision
was made to change team dynam-
ics on campus and the quality she
appreciates about Feinn is her
ability to connect with kids,
which can span ages.
I dont disagree the best thing
would be having someone who is
wanting to be in this position,
she previously said. I complete-
ly respect and understand change
is hard and scary. ... What didnt
surprise me was the passion peo-
ple have about our teachers.
What does surprise me has been
some of the communication
some of it has not been as
respectful as what Ive experi-
enced up until this point.
Parents remain skeptical this
was the right choice, including
Todd Emanuel, whose daughter
was in Feinns class.
My feeling on it is that this
terrible decision is going to dam-
age the partnership between the
school district and the parents,
he said. While the principal
should maintain broad discretion
on placing teachers, in this
instance no factual basis has been
made on why this incredible
fourth-grade teacher is being
moved down four grade levels.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
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

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
While sitting on her front porch
one recent late evening, San
Mateo resident Denise Nelson saw
a 2-foot diameter drone hovering
in the sky in front of her.
I can hear it and it was coming
closer like a buzzing sound from
an electric scooter, said Nelson.
It was the freakiest thing Ive
ever seen.
Alarmed that it was close to her
neighbors bedroom window, no
one was in sight and the drone was
being controlled remotely, she
called police for advice. Nelson
was also concerned that someone
could have been using the device
to case a home for potential bur-
glary or invasion of privacy.
The commercial use of drones is
a relatively new concept to law
enforcement and, while it is on
their radar, the San Mateo Police
Department does not have estab-
lished regulations, policies or
response procedures in place, said
San Mateo police Sgt. Jen
Maravillas.
If there is reason to believe a
drone or ying device is being
used for any criminal activity, we
will look to pursue applicable
criminal laws and document and/or
investigate any suspicious cases
of this type, Maravillas said.
San Mateo police Sgt. David
Norris said the department is in
the preliminary stages of identi-
fying community stakeholders
such as the district attorney,
neighboring police departments,
local leaders and experts to dis-
cuss their options.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office, which patrols in Half
Moon Bay, Millbrae, San Carlos,
Portola Valley, Woodside and
more than 70 percent of the coun-
t y, has not experienced any
reports or complaints of private
citizens using drones and is not
an issue on their radar at this
time, sheriffs Deputy Rebecca
Rosenblatt said.
Without cause for imminent
criminal activity, local enforce-
ment agencies cannot enforce or
stop anyone from using electron-
ic ying devices. The governing
authority for drones or unmanned
aircraft systems in national air
space is the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Flying model aircraft solely
for hobby or recreational reasons
does not require FAA approval,
but hobbyists should operate
according to the agencys model
aircraft guidance, said Ian
Gregor, public affairs ofcer for
the FAA.
In general, the FAA standard
guidelines requires model aircraft
to be kept below 400 feet above
ground and own a sufcient dis-
tance from populated areas and
full-scale aircraft, and are not for
business purposes.
In recent years, the advance-
ment of technology has made way
for sophisticated, complex model
aircraft that can easily be pur-
chased by anyone.
Quadcopters are a relatively
new phenomenon that has
exploded over the last two years,
said Cliff White, owner of J & M
Hobby House in San Carlos. Its
a different form of a helicopter.
White said the most common
models are quadcopters, which
consists of four motors while
hexacopters have six motors. The
average cost for the quadcopters,
drones or hexacopters range from
$39.99 up to $3,000 depending
on the complexity of the device.
They are generally mounted
with cameras for video recording,
live stream or rst-person view.
First-person view, or FPV,
streams a live feed of the view
through the pilots eyes from
inside the aircraft and extends the
capability to fly the drone far
beyond visible range.
It is disconcerting to have an
unknown person hovering over or
y by with the ability to record or
view into the windows of homes,
said Nelson, adding there is no
way to see who is operating the
device.
White said he understands the
concerns about the unethical
intent of some people who might
use the sophisticated and complex
aircraft systems to do harm but
insists his customers are the aver-
age person, techie or model air-
craft enthusiast.
Most use them in proper man-
ner and 99 percent use them for
fun or practical reasons, White
said.
The FAA is working on a pro-
posed rule for operating small
unmanned aircraft systems
weighing less than 55 pounds,
Gregor said, and is planning to
publish that rule for comment
later this year.
Night-time drone sparks concern
Police looking at establishing protocol for unmanned aircraft

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNTAIN VIEW Europes
moves to rein in Google includ-
ing a court ruling this month
ordering the search giant to give
people a say in what pops up when
someone searches their name
may be seen in Brussels as strik-
ing a blow for the little guy.
But across the Atlantic, the idea
that users should be able to edit
Google search results in the name
of privacy is being slammed as
weird and difcult to enforce at
best and a crackdown on free
speech at worst.
Americans will find their
searches bowdlerized by prissy
European sensibilities, said
Stewart Baker, former assistant
secretary for policy at the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
Well be the big losers. The big
winners will be French ministers
who want the right to have their
last mistress forgotten.
Mountain View, California -
based Google says its still gur-
ing out how to comply with the
European Court of Justices May
13 ruling, which says the compa-
ny must respond to complaints
about private information that
turns up in searches. Google must
then decide whether the publics
right to be able to nd the infor-
mation outweighs an individuals
right to control it with prefer-
ence given to the individual.
The judgment applies to all
search engines operating within
the European Union. But in prac-
tice that means Google, given that
90 percent of all online searches
there use Googles search engine.
The ruling has significant
implications for how we handle
takedown requests, Google
spokesman Al Verney said. This
is logistically complicated, not
least because of the many lan-
guages involved and the need for
careful review. As soon as we have
thought through exactly how this
will work, which may take several
weeks, we will let our users know.
There will be serious technolog-
ical challenges, said U.S. privacy
attorney David Keating in Atlanta.
It seems aspirational, not a
reality, to comply with such a
standard, he said. The reengi-
neering necessary to implement
the right to be forgotten is signif-
icant.
Google may partially automate
the process, as it does with copy-
right-infringement complaints,
but ultimately a human will have
to decide when results should be
sanitized.
Johannes Caspar, who as
Hamburgs Commissioner for Data
Protection acts as Germanys lead
regulator of Google on privacy
issues, conrmed the company is
already working on an online
tool to help people file com-
plaints.
Because the courts ruling
applies only within Europe, it will
mean some fragmentation of
search results. That is, Europeans
and Americans will see slightly
different versions of the Internet.
A worst-case scenario would be if
Google decides it must err on the
side of caution and removes links
liberally in order to avoid law-
suits, critics of the ruling said.

GOLETA In YouTube videos and a long
written manifesto, Elliot Rodger aired his
contempt for everyone from his roommates
to the whole human race, reserving special
hate for two groups: the women he says kept
him a virgin for all of his 22 years, and the
men they chose instead.
Authorities said he put that bitterness into
action in a stabbing and shooting rampage
Friday night across the seaside California
college town of Isla Vista that killed two
young women and four men, at least half of
them students at the University of
California, Santa Barbara. Thirteen people
were injured.
Rodger then apparently shot and killed
himself inside the black BMWhe used in the
violence, authorities said Saturday.
The rampage played out largely as he laid it
out in the public postings, including a
YouTube video where he sits in the BMWi n
sunset light and appears to be acting out
scripted lines and planned laughs.
Ill take great pleasure in slaughtering all
of you, Rodger, the son of a Hollywood
director who worked on The Hunger
Games, says in the video posted Friday and
taken down by YouTube on Saturday with a
message saying it violated the sites terms of
service.
I dont know why you girls are so repulsed
by me, he says in the video, describing his
loneliness and frustration at never having
had sex with or even kissed a girl. I am
polite. I am the ultimate gentleman. And yet,
you girls never give me a chance. I dont
know why.
Of the men he sees as rivals, he said: I
deserve girls much more than all those
slobs, and that after his rampage you will
nally see that I am, in truth, the superior
one, the true alpha male.
Sheriff Bill Brown, appearing on CNN on
Sunday said that investigators are tying up a
few ends, but for the most part, I think, we
have a pretty clear picture of what happened
The rst three killed Friday were male stab-
bing victims in Rodgers own apartment.
The Santa Barbara sheriff's ofce said Sunday
that the victims were 20-year-old Cheng
Yuan Hong and 19-year-old George Chen -
both from San Jose - and 20-year-old Weihan
Wang of Fremont.
Then, at about 9:30 p.m., the citywide
shooting and vehicle-ramming rampage
began.
His rst stop was the Alpha Phi sorority,
which he had called the hottest sorority of
UCSB.
Suspect in shooting rampage blamed aloof women

NEWYORK Fueled by the freeing of a
prison inmate who claimed a detective
framed him in a 1990 murder, the Brooklyn
district attorneys ofce has undertaken one
of the nations most ambitious efforts to
revisit cases of people put behind bars
decades ago to determine whether they were
wrongly convicted.
District Attorney Kenneth Thompson is
re-examining about 90 mostly homicide
cases from the 1980s and 1990s an era
when New York Citys murder rate was soar-
ing including nearly 60 cases linked to
the same detective. While other prosecu-
tors ofces have also launched such proj-
ects, exoneration experts say few, if any,
have tackled such a sweeping examination
all at once.
No one else is dealing with this type of
volume, said Samuel Gross, a professor at
the University of Michigan Law School
who heads the National Registry of
Exonerations. Theyre starting out on a
long journey, and they dont know where it
will take them.
Thompson, who took ofce in January, is
accelerating an effort started by his prede-
cessor, increasing the number of prosecu-
tors dedicated to the project from three to
10, hiring a Harvard Law School professor
to guide the unit and appointing a panel of
experienced lawyers to give their outside,
volunteer input. He told a City Council
budget committee last week that the annual
cost will top $1 million.
These actions not only foster public
trust in the criminal justice system but also
begin the process of righting an injustice
committed against these defendants,
Thompson said.

WASHINGTON The chairmen of House
and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees on
Sunday decried long waits and backlogs at
the nations VAhospitals but stopped short
of calling for the resignation of Veterans
Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
Youve got an entrenched bureaucracy
that exists out there that is not held
accountable, that is shooting for goals,
goals that are not helping the veterans,
said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of
the House panel
I think some people may by cooking the
books to suggest waiting times are shorter
that they actually are, said Sen. Bernie
Sanders, a Vermont independent who chairs
the counterpart Senate committee.
Both chairmen were interviewed on
CNNs State of the Union.
Meanwhile, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-
Conn., said on CBS Face the Nation that
the Justice Department has to be
involved. He said there is credible and
specic evidence of criminal wrongdoing
across the country at VAhospitals.
Were not rushing to judgment. But the
Department of Justice can convene a grand
jury, if necessary, Blumenthal said.
Lawmakers from both parties have
pressed for policy changes and better man-
agement as the Department of Veterans
Affairs confronts allegations about treat-
ment delays and falsied records at VAcen-
ters around the country. The program serves
nearly 9 million veterans.
President Barack Obama did not mention
the VAissue in a speech on Sunday to U.S.
troops in Afghanistan during a surprise
visit.
The VAreally didnt factor into the plan-
ning for the trip at all, said Ben Rhodes,
the deputy national security adviser. The
VA is obviously something hes going to
continue to work on very hard in the com-
ing days and weeks back home as well.

KIEV, Ukraine Exit polls suggested
candy tycoon Petro Poroshenko was elected
president Sunday in the rst round of ballot-
ing in the bitterly divided country, and he
vowed to bring peace to the Ukrainian land.
The billionaire who supports strong ties
with Europe but also wants to mend relations
with Russia claimed victory after a vote that
took place amid weeks of ghting in eastern
Ukraine where pro-Moscow separatists have
seized government buildings and battled gov-
ernment troops.
The rebels had vowed to block the ballot
in the east, and less than 20 percent of the
polling stations were open there after gun-
men intimidated locals by smashing ballot
boxes, shutting down polling centers and
issuing threats.
But nationwide, about 60 percent of 35.5
million eligible voters turned out, the cen-
tral elections commission said, and long
lines snaked around polling stations in the
capital of Kiev.
The exit polls, conducted by three respect-
ed Ukrainian survey agencies, found the 48-
year-old Poroshenko getting 55.9 percent of
the vote in the eld of 21 candidates. Adis-
tant second was former Prime Minister Yulia
Tymoshenko with 12.9 percent, the poll
showed. Full results are expected Monday,
but if that margin holds, Poroshenko
would avoid a runoff election next month
with the second-place finisher.
Viewing the exit polls as denitive evidence
of victory, Poroshenko said his rst steps as
president would be to visit the Donbass east-
ern industrial region, home to Ukraines coal
mines and put an end to war, chaos, crime,
and bring peace to the Ukrainian land.
He also promised a dialogue with resi-
dents of eastern Ukraine and said he was
ready to extend amnesty to those who did
not commit any crimes.
For those people who dont take (up)
weapons, we are always ready for negotiations
to guarantee them security, to guarantee them
defending of their rights, including speaking
the language they want, he said in English.
The election, which came three months after
pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych
was chased from ofce by crowds following
months of street protests and allegations of
corruption, was seen as a critical step toward
resolving Ukraines protracted crisis.

BRUSSELS Far-right and
Euroskeptic parties made sweep-
ing gains in European Parliament
elections Sunday triggering
what one prime minister called a
political earthquake by those
who want to slash the powers of
the European Union or abolish it
altogether.
Voters in 21 of the EUs 28
nations went to the polls Sunday,
choosing lawmakers for the blocs
751-seat legislature. The other
seven countries in the bloc had
already voted in a sprawling exer-
cise of democracy that began
Thursday in Britain and the
Netherlands.
One of the most signicant win-
ners was Frances far-right
National Front party, which was
the outright winner in France with
26 percent support or 4.1 mil-
lion votes.
The sovereign people have
spoken ... acclaiming they want
to take back the reins of their des-
tiny, party leader Marine Le Pen
said in a statement. She called the
results the rst step in a long
march to liberty.
The National Front like other
far-right parties across Europe
promote anti-immigrant and often
anti-Semitic policies.
French Prime Minister Manuel
Valls, in an impassioned televised
speech, called the National Front
win more than a news alert ... it is
a shock, an earthquake.
French President Francois
Hollandes office announced he
would hold urgent talks rst thing
Monday with top government
ministers in what French media
called a crisis meeting.
All of Europe will have to deal
with the fallout, analysts and
politicians said.
Pro-European parties have to
take very seriously what is behind
the vote, said Martin Schulz of
the Socialist group in parliament.
Guy Verhofstadt, leader of the
Liberal caucus in the European
Parliament, conceded as much but
said even after the vote, two-thirds
of the European lawmakers would
be people who are in favor of the
European Union.
Despite the Euroskeptic gains,
established pro-EU parties were
forecast to remain the biggest
groups in the parliament. The con-
servative caucus, known as EPP,
was forecast to win 211 seats, down
from 274, but enough to remain the
parliaments biggest group.
The National Front was not the
only party beneting from wide-
spread disillusionment with the
EU. Nigel Farage, leader of the
ercely Euroskeptical UKIP party,
believed he was on track for a his-
toric victory.
It does look to me (like) UKIP
is going to win this election and
yes, that will be an earthquake,
because never before in the histo-
ry of British politics has a party
that is seen to be an insurgent
party ever topped the polls in a
national election, he said.
I dont just want Britain to
leave the European Union, he
added. I want Europe to leave the
European Union.
Far right, Euroskeptics make big gains in EU vote
OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Sun Herald, Biloxi, Mississippi
I
f you want to see the price of our
dysfunctional government, just
look up up toward the
International Space Station.
It once was a symbol of international
cooperation but it is now caught in a web
of intrigue that threatens its existence.
The United States, having shut down the
space shuttle, the only craft it had capa-
ble of bringing astronauts to and from
the space station, is now at the mercy of
Russia, which is taking advantage of
that situation.
We have a single seat on each flight
of a Russian craft at a cost of $71
million per trip. Only one-third of the
crew at the station at any given time is
American, even though the U.S. paid
for most of the stations $140 million
price tag.
There is plenty of blame to spread
around. President George W. Bush got
things started when he decided in 2004
that NASAs mission should be a return
to the moon and space colonization.
That plan retired the shuttle in favor of
building deep space rockets.
But that left a gap between the end of
the shuttle program and the launch of
new craft capable of carrying people into
space.
When Barack Obama became presi-
dent he decided we needed a quicker way
for ferry astronauts to the station and
left it up to commercial interests to
figure out how to do it.
Congress balked and underfunded the
commercial program, which means the
first flight will be in 2017, not 2015 as
Obama envisioned. Not the best solution
but a workable plan until Russia
annexed Crimea.
In the tit-for-tat that followed, the
Russians threatened to pull the plug on
the Space Station by 2020. That would
seem to make it even more urgent to get
these commercial flights as soon as pos-
si bl e.
We shouldnt have to rely on Russia,
an unreliable partner at best and a coun-
try that doesnt seem to be seeing us as
much of an ally in its ambitions.
And we shouldnt be playing politics
with an investment of more than $100
bi l l i on.

Upcoming judicial election
Editor,
Supporters of Ray Bueneventura are
using scare tactics in messages to vot-
ers, portraying Commissioner
Stephanie Garrett as bad for the envi-
ronment. Dont be fooled. Please
remember that while her opponent is
primarily a criminal defense attorney,
Stephanie has been serving as either a
judicial officer on the bench with a
spotless record of supporting the envi-
ronment or as a deputy district attorney
serving in the Environmental
Protection Unit.
Partisan politics has no place in a
judicial election in my opinion. I
believe Stephanie Garrett is the candi-
date with the proven experience and
qualifications to be a judge.

McDowell blowing our minds
Editor,
How sadly disappointing I read
with such excitement John McDowels
column, Not your standard issue in
the May 17 edition of the Daily
Journal. He promised to blow your
mind with exciting new information
about Republican candidates in the Bay
Area.
The mind-blowing news, re-iterated
after each candidates mini-biography?
They have different ethnicities! (Black,
Asian, Indo-American (a new label to
me), Hispanic and even a woman.
Seriously, John? Do you really think
t hat s what will turn the Republican
Party around and make it a winner in
the Bay Area?
I suspect, if Mr. McDowel did a little
research and discovered the real rea-
sons republicans are so disregarded in
the Bay Area, hed blow his own mind.
At any rate, I always enjoy your
brand of humor in publishing him.
Thanks.

GMO companies shouldnt
fight efforts to inform people
Editor,
I have to agree with Dorothy Dimitres
perspective about genetic modification
given Monsantos secretiveness (GM
The Great Mystery in the May 21
edition of the Daily Journal). It seems
that if GMOs were as beneficial as the
agri-chem company wanted us to believe
then they would have loudly proclaimed
and promoted such by proudly labeling
every food item that their mad scientists
have produced instead of fighting tooth
and nail against every effort to inform
people. Their concealment is consistent
with a cover-up of hidden dangers.

Editor,
Thank you for Darold Fredricks May
12 Millbrae baseball article Millbrae,
the baseball town. I remember when
Gus Suhr Jr. played baseball at
Burlingame High School (infielder sec-
ond base). I also remember when the
South San Francisco Windbreakers
semi-professional football team played
games at the Burlingame High School
football field in the 50s. I know they
scrimaged with the 49ers, but dont
remember their opponents at the BHS
football field. Perhaps Donald or John
Horgan could write a sports article on
this great time for all us old-timers.

The importance
of mental health
By Charles Chip Huggins
S
ixty-five years ago, the month of
May was designated as national
Mental Health Month to build
awareness of mental illness and the
importance of mental wellness for all.
Mental Health is the ability to manage
daily life and any challenges that occur
along the way.
Mental illness knows no social or
income bounds and it affects people
across all communities and ethnic back-
grounds, whether they are young or old,
rich or poor, highly educated or not.
Unfortunately, there is a damaging mis-
conception that people who suffer from
mental health disorders or those who
seek mental health treatment are danger-
ous to the community. Consequently,
those in need become fearful of
ostracism and are reluctant to seek out
essential health services. Even people
with the most serious psychiatric disor-
ders, when receiving the proper treat-
ment, are no more likely to commit vio-
lent acts against those around them than
someone without a disorder. In fact, peo-
ple with mental health disorders are far
more likely to harm themselves than
others. Every year, more teens die of sui-
cide than cancer, heart disease, AIDS,
stroke and chronic lung disease com-
bined. Arecent study stated that 16 per-
cent of high school age students serious-
ly considered suicide, while 8 percent
attempted to end their life. Also alarm-
i ngl y, over 90 percent of people who
committed suicide had a mental health
disorder at the time of their death and
often, these disorders were not being
treated.
When left untreated, mental health dis-
orders may seriously impair emotional
and social functioning and threaten a
persons long-term development. Not
treating mental health disorders also
increases the risk of experiencing unem-
ployment, poverty and difficulties creat-
ing stable relationships or providing
responsible parenting as an adult. But
with effective mental health interven-
tion, these repercussions can be mitigat-
ed, preparing the child and family to
manage adversity and achieve his/her
optimal potential. The bottom line is
that seeking mental health treatment is
as essential as calling the doctor when
physically ill. To enjoy good health, we
must care for our mind as well as our
body. Mental health is sometimes over-
looked but overall wellness and healthy
development are not possible without it.
During Mental Health Month and for
every day afterwards, help spread accept-
ance and awareness of mental health
issues in our lives. Agreater understand-
ing of this critical topic is essential to
continually building a community where
people feel safe seeking professional
mental health services that will help
them thrive.

WASHINGTON An investiga-
tion into price-xing and bid-rig-
ging in the auto parts industry has
mushroomed into the Justice
Departments largest criminal
antitrust probe ever, and its not
over yet.
The investigation, made public
four years ago with FBI raids in the
Detroit area, has led to criminal
charges against dozens of people
and companies, stretched across
continents and reverberated
through an industry responsible for
supplying critical car components.
The collusion has also saddled
U.S. drivers with millions of dol-
lars in extra costs.
Its a very, very safe assump-
tion that U.S. consumers paid
more, and sometimes signicant-
ly more, for their automobiles as a
result of this conspiracy, Brent
Snyder, a deputy assistant attor-
ney general in the antitrust divi-
sion, said in an interview.
So far, 34 individuals have been
charged and 27 companies have
pleaded guilty or agreed to do so,
the Justice Department says.
Collectively, they have agreed to
pay more than $2.3 billion in
nes. New cases have arisen with
regularity, with Attorney General
Eric Holder promising last
September that investigators
would check under every hood and
kick every tire.
The most recent development
came Thursday, when an executive
from a Japanese company was
charged with conspiring to x the
prices of heater control panels
sold to Toyota and with persuad-
ing workers to destroy evidence.
Ofcials say the investigation
stands out not just for its scope but
also for the cooperation the author-
ities have received from Japan,
Australia and other countries.
Despite the challenges of prosecut-
ing foreign nationals, the Justice
Department has won guilty pleas
from a series of Japanese execu-
tives who opted to get their punish-
ment over with rather than remain
under indictment in their home
countries and subject to career-crip-
pling travel restrictions.
Though the techniques and
strategies sometimes differed, the
executives generally carried out
the collusion by trading coded
emails, meeting at remote loca-
tions and destroying documents to
avoid paper trails.
With an eye toward eliminating
competition and maximizing
prots, they exploited an industry
that experts say is in some ways
vulnerable to collusion: There are
a nite number of purchasers and
suppliers, theres steady pressure
among companies to cut prices -
and car parts, unlike certain prod-
ucts that have a great deal of vari-
ability - are generally standardized
and homogeneous.
The firms will just make more
money if theyre able to reach and
stick to an agreement to collec-
tively charge higher prices so
that customers cant get them to
bid against each other, said
Spencer Weber Waller, director of
the Institute for Antitrust
Consumer Studies at the Loyola
University Chicago law school.
The problem is, of course, its a
felony in the United States.
The Justice Department rst pub-
licly surfaced aspects of the inves-
tigation when FBI agents in Detroit
raided the ofces of Denso Corp,
Yazaki North America and Tokai
Rika. All three companies have
pleaded guilty to their roles in price-
xing and bid-rigging schemes.
Since the raids, the probe has
broadened to encompass about $5
billion worth of auto parts, includ-
ing seat belts, ignition coils,
steering wheels, air bags, wind-
shield wipers and rubber parts that
dampen vibration.
Similar cartels have formed in
industries ranging from oil and
gas to cement and vitamins,
though theres debate among
economists about how long they
can last, given the constant incen-
tive for one member to cheat the
others and the tendency to col-
lapse under their own weight as
they keep growing, said Daniel
Crane, a University of Michigan
law professor.
But the collusion in these
cases, which in some instances
lasted more than a decade, was
deftly done, said Joe
Wiesenfelder, executive editor of
Cars.com, who has followed the
auto parts investigation.
Auto parts price-fixing probe rattles industry
Natural foods retailer to farmers: Let cows graze
By M.L. Johnson
and Colleen Slevin
DENVER Cows should be out-
side.
Thats the position of a Colorado-
based grocery store chain that
recently announced it will carry
only dairy products from farms
where cows graze in pastures.
Natural Grocers by Vitamin
Cottage claims grazing improves
the health of cows, consumers and
the environment, and it hopes to
expand an ongoing, national debate
over how to best care for livestock.
The American Grassfed
Association, which helped Natural
Grocers develop its rules, said it is
the rst retail chain to carry only
pastured dairy products; many
already have rules barring suppli-
ers from such things as keeping
chickens and pregnant pigs in
cramped cages.
But the issue isnt as straightfor-
ward as it might seem as weather
prevents most farms in the United
States from grazing year-round.
With no clear guidelines on what
qualies as pasture-raised, con-
sumers paying a premium for grass-
fed milk might be confused about
what they are buying. And a dairy
nutrition expert says he sees the
stores policy as mostly a market-
ing gimmick.
Natural Grocers was one of the rst
retailers in the 1990s to ban dairy
products from farms that used growth
hormones or excessive antibiotics,
said Heather Isely, whose parents
founded the business in 1955. Over
time, the family decided that wasnt
enough because cows that were drug-
and hormone-free still might not go
outside.
Consumers are buffeted with all
these image of cows grazing on pas-
ture when it comes to dairy, Isely
said. When you talk to most peo-
ple, thats what comes to mind ...
and we wanted to become complete-
ly transparent and lift that veil away
and say, you know, thats not
always the case and you really do
need to take a more careful look at
your dairy products.
The company announced in late
April that it would require all
dairy products at its nearly 90
stores in western and Plains
states to be made with milk from
cows that grazed at least 120 days
per year, mirroring federal organ-
ic standards. To be organic, cows
also cannot consume hay or grain
produced with genetically modi-
fied seed, pesticides or herbi-
cides. A spokeswoman for the
U.S. Food and Drug
Administration says the agency
does not set standards for pas-
ture-raised or grass-fed products,
but labels cannot be misleading.
Customers at a Natural Grocers
store in Denver said they didnt
know how much time cows typical-
ly spend outside and the limited
information on labels made it hard
to tell how animals were treated.
Josh Milligan, who picked up a gal-
lon of Organic Valley milk for
$6.15, said he thought cows should
be allowed spend every day outside,
but Natural Grocers policy was bet-
ter than those of larger grocery
chains.
Few farms in the United States
can graze animals year-round
because of the weather. Snow cov-
ers northern pastures in the winter
and summer heat dries those in the
South.

DOVER, Del. Lawmakers in sev-
eral states have passed legislation to
address concerns about potential
security risks involving workers
hired to help people apply for health
care insurance under the Affordable
Care Act. Theres no sign, however,
that the enrollment assistants, even
those with criminal records, have
misused consumers personal infor-
mation.
Here are five things to know about
the issue:
THERES NO
FEDERAL REQUIREMENT
The Obama administration decided
not to require criminal background
checks for health care navigators,
although states can set their own
rules for workers helping people
enroll for insurance under the federal
health care reform law.
STATE-TO-STATE DIFFERENCES
Some states, such as Texas and
Louisiana, have adopted legisla-
t i on and regul at i ons t hat al l ow
officials to deny certification to
work as an enrollment assistant if
someone has been convicted of a
f el ony. In many other states, a
criminal background does not act
as an automatic disqualifier.
VETTING FOR
THOSE WITH RECORDS
In at least three states, California,
Nevada and Delaware, people with
criminal pasts have been allowed to
work as enrollment assistants.
Officials in all three states say they
have received no complaints about
enrollment workers misusing con-
sumers personal information.
LEGAL WRANGLING
The conservative watchdog group
Judicial Watch has filed a federal law-
suit seeking to force the Obama
administration to release records
regarding contracts awarded to pri-
vate entities for providing naviga-
tors to help people enroll for health
insurance. The group also is seeking
records regarding the federal require-
ments for navigators, including
background checks and qualifica-
tions. Meanwhile, Missouri officials
are appealing a federal judges deci-
sion to halt implementation of a
state law requiring people to be
licensed by the state in order to work
as enrollment counselors or naviga-
tors. The judge said the state law was
an obstacle to the federal law and thus
pre-empted by federal law.
SECOND CHANCES
The decision by some states not to
establish a blanket prohibition
against hiring people with criminal
records as enrollment assistants is in
line with employer guidance issued by
the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission in 2012.
The EEOC said factors such as the
nature of the offense, the time that has
passed, and duties of the job in ques-
tion should be taken into considera-
tion. You dont automatically
exclude someone, but you look to see
if theres a good and proper t, said
Susan Gauvey, a federal magistrate
judge in Baltimore who is a proponent
of hiring ex-offenders.

Davis Richs recent success at Menlo comes
as no surprise to the Knights strong contin-
gent of underclassmen.
Rich paced No. 12-seeded Menlo (19-12) to
a 4-0 win in Saturdays Central Coast Section
Division II over No. 4 Santa Cruz (14-12). The
sophomore right-hander looked like a varsity
ace as he red a ve-hit shutout, pitching out of
two bases-loaded jams in the process.
For Menlo manager Craig Schoof who,
this season, has tooled half the Knightsroster
with underclassmen it has been something
of an odyssey nding the winning formula
with his starting rotation.
Admittedly, the pitching has been up in the
air for much of the year. But after starting the
season as the Knights closer, Rich has settled
into the rotation behind senior ace right-han-
der Wyatt Driscoll, and the team has advanced
to within two wins of their sixth all-time CCS
title with a gutsy one-two punch.
I have this mentality when I start the game,
its my game and Im not coming out until I
want to come out, Rich said. So, it was tough
on me to come out of the bullpen (earlier this
year) and have to come in in high-pressure sit-
uations. But in the three starts Ive had this year
Ive done well, so its been a good transition.
Rich improved his record to 3-2, allowing
just ve hits throughout. Four of Santa Cruzs
hits came in the fourth and fth innings
though, as the Cardinals loaded the bases with
one out in each frame. Schoof visited the
mound at the same juncture in both innings,
and said he was intent on going to the bullpen
in the fth with Santa Cruz cleanup hitter
Davonte Scott due up.
But thats when Rich made a case for it being
his game.
I was taking him out, Schoof said. And
for the rst time in my 40 years of coaching
he met me. He goes, I want the ball. Let
me do this. This is my inning. Let me get
out of this inning.
Schoof stuck with his sophomore and Rich
reciprocated by throwing a mean cutter with an
0-2 count to induce a double-play grounder to
get out of the inning unscathed. The at-bat was
chock full of drama though, as on the rst
pitch after Schoofs pivotal decision to leave
Rich in the game, Santa Cruz manager Jeremy
Kirby called upon Scott to lay down a squeeze
bunt. But the senior fouled it off.
We tried to call a squeeze to catch them off
guard, Kirby said. The ineld was back. We
were struggling to put the ball in play. (If) we
drop down a squeeze, catch them off guard, it
would have been a base knock and a run, and
would have got us on the board.

The Hillsdale softball team, seed-
ed No. 3 in the Central Coast
Section Division II tournament, got
off to a slow start against No. 6-seed
Presentation in a quarternal game
at Redwood Citys Hawes Park
Saturday morning.
The Knights closed with a our-
ish, however, scoring eight runs
over the nal three innings to post
an 11-2 victory over the Panthers
and advance to the Division II
seminals Wednesday.
I cant be more proud of the
kids, Hillsdale coach Randy
Metheany said. As a team, our
aggression (at the plate and on the
basepaths) was superior. The best
Ive seen all year.
The win was a complete team
effort for Hillsdale (21-7), which
saw all nine starters get at least
one hit, seven of the nine starters
scoring and seven of nine record-
ing an RBI.
Hillsdale will now take on No. 2
Pioneer in the seminals at 4:30
p.m. Wednesday at PAL Stadium in
San Jose. It is the third time in four
years the Knights have advanced to
the nal four. Pioneer punched its
ticket to the semis with a 10-3 win
over No. 10 Westmont.
The 10 a.m. start Saturday morn-
ing was definitely different for
both Hillsdale and Presentation,
but the Panthers appeared to get up
on the right side of the bed and
shocked the Knights when the
Panthers leadoff hitter, Lorena
Ukanwa, blasted the third pitch of
the game well over the fence in
left-center field for a quick 1-0
Presentation lead.
It was denitely a wake-up call,
said Hillsdale pitcher Eryn McCoy.
She hit it well. (After that), you
just have to get in your zone.
Presentation hit the ball hard
against McCoy in the rst two
innings, hitting for the cycle as a
team. In addition to Ukanwas solo

PARIS Roger Federers 4-year-old
twins, Myla and Riva, hung in there for
about 20 minutes Sunday in his guest box at
Court Philippe Chatrier, long enough to see
Daddy take control of his French Open
match.
Wearing matching white dresses with
black polka dots, pink bows in their hair,
and sunglasses, the girls whiled away the
time by looking at books. They bounced on
the knees of their mom or

point, one Federer tyke
draped herself over a rail-

in watching. Eventually,
the kids left with a nanny,
perhaps to join their twin
brothers, who are less
than 3 weeks old.
Truth is, Federers rst victory as a father
of four he had been 0-1 since Leo and
Lenny joined the world contained little
drama. Federer swept the last ve games of
the opening set, won 36 of 43 service
points in the rst two sets, and eliminated
87th-ranked Lukas Lacko of Slovakia 6-2,
6-4, 6-2 to reach the second round at Roland
Garros.
My personal life, as we know, its all
great, the fourth-seeded Federer said. So
Im happy the family is here.
Sundays win was the 2009 champions

It was unorthodox dominance, but domi-
nance nonetheless.
Sequoia right-hander Cameron Greenough
red a three-hit shutout to lead the No. 3-
seed Cherokees (21-7-1) to a 3-0 win over
No. 6 Christopher (16-12) in the Central
Coast Section Division I quarterfinals
Saturday at Sacred Heart Prep.
What was unorthodox about the pitching
gem was Greenough stranding runners in
scoring position in each of the rst six
innings. But the senior was nails to the
strike zone, striking out seven against two
walks and a hit batsman, while not allowing
a hit after the third inning en route to his
second consecutive shutout.
Sequoia has posted a 1.57 team ERA this
season.
After entering the postseason not having
won a CCS playoff game since 1998, the
Cherokees are now poised for one more turn
through their outstanding pitching rota-
tion. With the win, Sequoia advances to the
CCS semifinals to take on No. 2-seed
Westmont Thursday at San Jose Municipal
Stadium at 4 p.m.
We just feel really good that our brand of
baseball is paying off for us right now,
Sequoia manager Corey Uhalde said. Weve
preached all year that we pitch, we play
defense, we execute on offense. If we do
the things that weve talked about then it
will pay off. And its gotten us to this spot.
Greenough not only got it done on the
mound. He helped himself with the bat, pro-
ducing a second-inning sacrice y to get
Sequoia on the board. Sequoia got some

D
id you know that 30 million Americans
suffer from back and neck pain every day?
Sciatica and herniated discs are often
misunderstood. They can cause pain and
numbness in the back, neck, legs, and feet. This
pain affects everything that you do, from work
to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We
are here to tell you that there is hope. We have
the technology and experience to help you fnd
relief from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area
Disc Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people innocently
fall into abusing prescription pain pills while
initially using them to alleviate real, constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When considering
your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDC
TM
Therapy
TDC TherapyTraction Decompression Combined
Therapyis a proven treatment exclusive to Disc
Centers of America doctors for the relief of neck
and lower back pain. By utilizing traction thats
isolated to the spinal segment involved, the
purpose is to create spinal decompression as a
result to specifc traction.
TDC Therapy offers a significant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This non surgical solution
is changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:
Herniated or buging discs
De-generative disc disease
Posterior facet syndrome
Spina Stenosis
Sciatica
TDC Therapy is non surgical and non invasive. It is
a gentle form of traction and disc decompression.
The treatment is not only safe, but also
comfortable and relaxing. The goal is symptomatic
relief and structural correction.
How Does TDC
TM
Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specifc vertebra and
distract the vertebrae surrounding an injured
disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy treatment
isolates the specific vertebrae that are causing
the pain. The 25 to 30 minute treatment
provides static, intermittent, and cycling
forces on structures that may be causing
back pain. Negative pressure promotes the
diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into
the vertebral disc area, thereby re-hydrating
the degenerated disc. Repeated pressure
differential promotes retraction of a herniated
nucleus pulposus.
The TDC Therapy treatment works to reduce
pressure on the vertebral joints,promote
retraction of herniated discs, and promote self
healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs,
thereby relieving neck or lower back pain.
Why Bay Area Disc Centers
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C. and his team have vast
experience in treating patients suffering from
severe disc disease. Dr. Ferrigno has performed
over 25,000 decompression treatments and
is currently only 1 of 2 doctors in the state of
California who is Nationally Certied in Spinal
Decompression Therapy. Dr. Ferrigno is also part
of the Disc Centers of America Team who are a
national group of doctors that have gone through
extensive training that follow the protocols set up
by The International Medical Advisory Board on
Spinal Decompression, and utilizes the protocols
set forward by Dr. Norman Sheay the Honorary
Chairman, former Harvard professor, and probaby
the most published doctor in the world on spinal

SAN FRANCISCO Michael Morse
looked bafed after missing wildly on a
wicked curve from Minnesota starter Ricky
Nolasco in the fth inning.
It was one of the few pitches the Giants
slugger guessed wrong on, and the last one
from Nolasco he let get by.
Morse hit a bases-loaded double on
Nolascos next offering one of three dou-
bles by San Franciscos rst baseman help-
ing the Giants to an 8-1 win over the Twins on
Sunday that completed a three-game sweep.
The crowd at AT&T Park gave Morse a loud
ovation after the hit when his face was shown
on the giant scoreboard in centereld.
Moments like that make you feel so hum-
ble and happy that youre here, said Morse,
who signed a one-year deal with San Francisco
in the offseason. Every day feels like the
playoffs here. Its awesome.
Madison Bumgarner pitched seven innings
to remain unbeaten in May, Gregor Blanco
had three hits while lling in for leadoff man
Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence homered for the
Giants, who improved to 6-0 in interleague
games this year and improved their majors-
leading record to 32-18.
Bumgarner (6-3) earned
his fourth straight win
while relying mainly on
his fastball and slider to
bafe the slumping Twins.
He struck out 10 with no
walks and allowed only two
runners past second base.
Madison was
Madison, Giants manag-
er Bruce Bochy said. He
had his normal stuff and pitched great.
It was a far different result than Bumgarner got
in his only other appearance against Minnesota
in 2011 when the left-hander was knocked out
of the game after retiring one batter.
This time around, the left-hander was domi-
nant. Bumgarner fanned Joe Mauer three
times, recorded six consecutive strikeouts dur-
ing one stretch and struck out the side in the
fth after getting called for a balk. Its just the
fth time in Mauers career that hes struck out
three times against the same pitcher.
George Kontos pitched the nal two
innings for San Francisco, which has won
seven straight games against American
League teams dating to 2013.
I for sure didnt forget about that, said
Bumgarner, who reached double digits in
strikeouts for the 15th time in his career.
There wasnt a whole lot of talk about it but
its something thats tough to forget, to go
through a start like that one.
Eduardo Escobar singled and scored
Minnesotas only run in the third.
The Giants jumped on Twins starter Ricky
Nolasco (2-5) early with a pair of bloop sin-
gles in the rst and a run-scoring hit by Pablo
Sandoval that left elder Eduardo Nunez got a
late jump on. Morses sacrice y made it 2-0.
Pences home run in the bottom of the third
gave the Giants a 3-1 lead. It was Pences sixth
home run of the season and his fth career
shot off Nolasco.
Morse doubled and scored in the fourth to
snap a 2-for-14 slump and make it 4-1, then
broke the game open with his bases-clearing
hit in the fth. San Franciscos power-hitting
rst baseman smiled and pumped his st while
standing on second base as the crowd at AT&T
Park gave him a roaring standing ovation.
That chased Nolasco, who had won in four
of his six previous starts at the Giants water-
front ballpark.
Minnesota scored its lone run in the third on
back-to-back singles and a sacrice y from
Brian Dozier.
Yusmeiro Petit (3-1) will start in place of
Cain in the series opener against the Cubs.
Nate Schierholtz enters the series hitting six
for his last 23 as the Cubs regular right elder.

thought to be a season-ending left calf strain
to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the
San Antonio Spurs Sunday night in Game 3 of

Thunder cut the Spurs lead
in the series to 2-1.
Ibaka started after missing
the rst two games of the

he likely would miss the rest
of the playoffs, but the team
changed course Friday.
Manu Ginobili scored 23

single by Zane Gelphman. From there, the
Cherokees rode pitching and defense to the
victory.
The way Cameron was pitching, we were just
trusting him, Gelphman said. We were putting
all our eggs in one basket in Cameron. We knew
that he knew that his defense had his back.
After relying on inning-ending strikeouts to
get out of jams in the second, third and fourth
innings, Greenough got three key groundouts
in the fth. With one out, Christopher leadoff
hitter Brennan Wilson was hit by a pitch then
stole second on the rst offering to Richard
Suarez. Suarez battled to a 3-2 count before
Greenough induced a groundout to second base-
man Carson Parodi. Wilson moved to third on
the play but was stranded there when Makaio
Duyao grounded out to shortstop Jarrett
Crowell to end the inning.
In the sixth, Greenough faced his tallest
task of the afternoon. After walking
Cougars cleanup hitter Kevin Willard, the
senior stole second and with no outs moved
to third on a wild pitch, on which Sequoia
catcher Chris Ortiz had his throw to third
base nearly sail into left eld. To regroup,
Crowell quickly converged on the mound to
give his pitcher a pep talk.
He came over to me and was like, This one
is you. Weve got condence in you. Hit it to
your ineld if you need to. But just go up there
and beat that batter, Greenough said.
Greenough responded by retiring the last six
batters he faced in the game.
To strand Willard at third base in the sixth,
Greenough got three straight outs essentially
by himself. After running a 3-1 count to Gordan
Papalias, Greenough nabbed a comebacker
with a backhand and checked Willard at third
before ring to rst for the out. Then
Greenough took Bryan Easton to task on a
three-pitch strikeout before nishing the
inning with a generous called third strike on an
outside fastball to Josh Wheat.
Greenough recorded his only one-two-three
inning of the game in the seventh to end it.
Offensively, Sequoia cleanup hitter Liam
Clifford and No. 5 hitter Gelphman were a force,
combing for a 5-for-6 day at the plate.
This was denitely an outstanding perform-
ance, Gelphman said. I think that we were
more dialed in today than ever. The more we go
into CCS the more psyched we get.
Clifford was 3 for 3 with a double; a towering
opposite-eld shot to right to lead off the sec-
ond. Gelphman followed with a sharp single to
center to move Clifford to third. Then
Greenough lifted a sacrice y to center to score
Clifford, giving Sequoia a 1-0 lead.
In the third, Matt Lopez drew a one-out walk.
With two outs, Lopez moved to third on a single
to center by Clifford, who moved to second an
ill-advised throw to third base by Cougars cen-
ter elder Papalias. Then Gelphman delivered a
clutch single to center to plate Lopez and
Clifford, giving Sequoia a 3-0 lead.
With the win, Greenough improves to 4-2,
surpassing his varsity wins total through
2012 and 13. And while the white-hot spot-
light has been on senior ace Kyle Cambrons
current streak of eight consecutive complete
games, Greenough proved his ace-potential
Saturday as the Cherokees No. 2 starter. And
like Cambron, Greenough exhibited that
which has fast become a signature trait of
Sequoia baseball intensity.
We have to out-intensity the other team,
Uhalde said. I thought we did that on Thursday
(in the CCS opener) against Fremont, and I
think we did that [Saturday]. I think our team
will leave the ballpark thinking nobody will
want it more than we do. So, thats good at this
time of the season.

blast, Grace Hargadon added a rst-inning
double, Elizabeth Skotz had a second-inning
single and Amanda Cabrera tripled in the sec-
ond as well. After that, however, McCoy held
the Panthers to just two hits.
Eryn seemed to be aiming the ball, not
throwing (in the rst couple innings),
Metheany said. That might have been nerves.
We were having trouble getting strikes.
While Ukanwas shot may have knocked the
Knights on their heels, it was ever so briey as
they came right back with three runs in the bot-
tom of the rst to take the lead for good.
Hillsdale benetted from sloppy Panther
play in the bottom of the rst to ignite the
Knights rally, committing two errors that led
to all three runs being unearned. Meagan Wells
led off the inning with a walk, but it appeared
any would-be rally was going to be snuffed out
when No. 2 hitter Riley Wells hit a one-hop
shot right to the Presentation third baseman
who threw the ball into right-center eld trying
to get the out at second.
That throw allowed Meagan Wells to easily
score the tying run and Riley Wells to make it
around to third. Following a strikeout, Lauren
Quirke singled home Riley Wells for a 2-1
Hillsdale lead. Quirke then stole second and
went to third when the catchers pickoff throw
to second sailed into center. Quirke scored on
Bailey Nestors two-out bloop single.
The Knights had a chance to do more damage,
but ended the inning with the bases loaded.
The Panthers closed their decit to 3-2 on
Cabreras RBI triple in the top of the second,
but McCoy shut them down the rest of the way.
Ukanwa, meanwhile, seemed to settle down
and did not allow a hit over the next two innings.
But if the Panthers gave the Knights their
rst three runs, Hillsdale earned the next ve.
During a four-run fourth, the Knights strung
together ve hits. McCoy, who also had a
tremendous day offensively by reaching base
in all four of her plate appearances, extended
the Knights lead to 4-2 with a solo home run
that bounced off and over the top of the fence in
left eld.
That felt really good, said McCoy. It took
a while for us to warm up.
McCoy doubled in the fth and was hit by
pitches in the rst and sixth innings. She also
scored twice.
She was crushing the ball, Metheany said
of McCoy. I think shes now realizing she has
to help herself.
Following McCoys blast, Katie Miller
reached on an ineld hit when her shot up the
middle hit Presentation pitcher Ukanwa square
in the thigh. Following a strikeout, the Wells
sisters had back-to-back singles to load the
bases. Sharona Mataele followed with a two-
run single to left and Talya Franco capped the
uprising with a two-out RBI single to center.
Hillsdale added two more runs in the fth.
McCoy started that rally with a double to
the right-center eld gap and came home on
a Kara Ronberg double to left. Ronberg
took third on a Riley Wells single and ended
up scoring on an error.
Hillsdale capped the scoring in the sixth
inning, with Quirke scoring on a Miller eld-
ers choice, and Franco eventually scoring on
Presentations fourth error of the game.
Hillsdale scored 11 runs on 10 hits.
I think [Ukanwa] was struggling to get [her
pitches] in the zone. Then she had to bring it,
Metheany said. We were hitting it hard. We
were really putting the pressure on them.

INDIANAPOLIS The nish was worth the
wait for Ryan Hunter-Reay, who used a series of
daredevil moves to deny Helio Castroneves a
chance at history.
Hunter-Reay became the rst American since
2006 to win the Indianapolis 500, passing
Castroneves at the Yard of Bricks as the two
bright yellow cars raced wheel-to-wheel under
the white ag in a thrilling nal lap. As Hunter-
Reay surged ahead down the backstretch,
Castroneves took one nal look coming out of
Turn 4 but couldnt pull off the pass.
Hunter-Reay won by 0.060 seconds the
second closest nish in race history since Al
Unser Jr. beat Scott Goodyear by 0.043 sec-
onds in 1992.
Im a proud American boy, thats for sure,
Hunter-Reay said in Victory Lane. Ive
watched this race since I was sitting in diapers
on the oor in front of the TV. This is American
history, this race, this is
American tradition.
Castroneves, trying to
become the fourth driver to
win a record fourth
Indianapolis 500, settled
for second. He was devas-
tated by the defeat and need-
ed several moments to com-
pose himself, slumped in
his car, head down and hel-
met on, before he was ready
to speak. The Brazilian said a caution with 10
laps to go that caused a red ag so track workers
could clean up debris and make repairs to the
track wall broke his rhythm.
It was a great ght, he smiled. I tell you
what, I was having a great time. Unfortunately
second. Its good, but second sucks, you know
what I mean?
Marco Andretti nished third and Carlos
Munoz was fourth as Andretti Autosport had
three cars in the top four, as well as the winner.
Kurt Busch, also in a Honda for Andretti, was
sixth in his rst race of the day. He left immedi-
ately after the race to y to North Carolina for
Sunday nights NASCAR Sprint Cup race,
where he was expected to run 600 miles in his
bid to become just the second driver to com-
plete 1,100 miles in one day.
Ayear ago, Hunter-Reay was passed for the
lead with three laps remaining and went on to
nish third as the race nished under caution.
He was leading Sunday and had control of the
race until Townsend Bells crash brought out
the red ag. Hunter-Reay gured his chances
were over.
I cant get a break, he lamented on his team
radio.
But after swapping the lead with Castroneves
three times, including a dramatic inside move
in Turn 3, Hunter-Reay made the nal and deci-
sive pass as the two cars took the white ag.
At the end of the day theres stupid and brav-
ery, and I think we were right there on the edge,
both of us, said Castroneves. Im glad we
both come out in a good way. Im sad it did not
come out the way I wanted.

INDIANAPOLIS Kurt Busch stepped
out of the IndyCar, raised his arms in tri-
umph, and hugged his girlfriend.
Buschs crew squeezed their way toward
him down the slender Indianapolis
Motor Speedway pit road for st bumps
and well wishes. His face red, throat dry,
and hair slicked in sweat, Busch tossed
his helmet in the No. 26.
He needed a break after a grueling run in the
Indianapolis 500 but it wouldnt last long.
Busch successfully completed the
Indianapolis 500 Sunday. After the n-
ish, he darted off to catch ights for his
night race in Concord, North Carolina in
an attempt to become the second driver
to nish the prestigious race as well as
the Coca-Cola 600 in the same day.
The rst leg of Buschs racing double-
header was a total smash, as he nished
sixth in Indy after starting 12th.
It was an incredible journey to sniff
the lead of the Indy 500, Busch said.
Its 500 miles down, 600 ahead.
Busch was off to catch the Cessna
Citation X to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
His girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, tweeted
a photo of Busch and Houston asleep on
the 47-minute Cessna ride.
It went like a dream, said Dr. Scott
McNair, who traveled with Busch.
Everything went exactly the way we
hoped. He looks great, refreshed and
ready for 600 miles.

CONCORD, N.C. Defending Sprint Cup
champion Jimmie Johnson passed Matt
Kenseth with nine laps to go and won the
Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night for his rst
victory of the season.
Johnson was dominant at Charlotte Motor
Speedway, winning the pole Thursday night
and leading 165 of 400 laps in NASCARs
longest race.
Kevin Harvick was second, followed by
Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Jamie McMurray,
the All-Star race winner last weekend at the
track, was fth.
Kurt Buschs attempt at motorsports his-
tory ended with 129 laps to go when he
blew an engine. Busch finished sixth in the
Indianapolis 500, but could not complete
the 600.
Johnson broke a tie with Darrell Waltrip
and Bobby Allison for Cup victories at the
track with seven. It was Johnsons fourth
triumph in the 600, each year the most gru-
eling test for NASCAR drivers, and his 67th
overall victory.
Whenever Johnson fell behind it wasnt
long before he got back on top, leading 10
times during the race. The nal push came
when he swept past Kenseth in Turn 4 and was
never pressured the rest of the way. Johnson
broke a 13-race winless streak that seemed
more of a concern for others than for the six-
time champion.
Still, he was happy to celebrate in Victory
Lane once again and give competitors
something to think about.
They know we are awake, Johnson
said. Hopefully, the 48 is heading that
way and we can give other people some-
thing to think about.
Johnson earns rst win of 14 at Charlotte
Instead, Menlo escaped with the shutout
intact. And not only did Rich go on to set down
the side in order in each of the nal two
innings, he needed just 13 pitches to do so
11 of which were strikes.
Richs efciency may come as a surprise to
the varsity ranks, but not to Menlo sopho-
more Antonio Lopez. Having played with Rich
on the junior-varsity squad last season, Lopez
witnessed the then-freshman right-hander
emerge as the ace of the rotation en route to the
squad posting an undefeated record in league.
Lopez was pivotal to Menlos precision of
fundamentals on offense in producing a pair of
two-run innings.
Every day in practice we work on the funda-
mentals, Lopez said. We work on scoring
runs the smart way. We practice small ball
every day. And today we just had to execute that
and get all the runs we could through our funda-
mental offense.
In the third, Rylan Pade led off with a walk
then moved to second on Lopezs sacrice
bunt. Kenny Diekroeger who was 3 for 4 on
the day bounded an ineld single to move
Pade to third. Graham Stratford followed with a
sacrice y to score Pade. Then sophomore
Jared Lucian scorched an RBI single to center
to score Diekroeger, giving Menlo a 2-0 lead.
In the fourth, the Knights utilized the same
formula. Sam Crowder led off with a single to
center then advanced to second on a sacrice
bunt by Christian Pluchar. Then things got a
little weird. On a foul y to Santa Cruz catcher
Max Chun, Crowder advanced then scored on
an errant throw to third base. Pade kept the
rally going with a two-out single to left to
knock Santa Cruz starter Noah Bauman out of
the game. Pade advanced to second on an errant
pickoff throw by reliever Vincente Duffy
before Lopez reached on a throwing error by
third baseman Scott, allowing Pade to score,
giving Menlo a 4-0 lead.
I feel like we did a lot of things right today
and it paid off, Lopez said. And we enjoyed
it. It was a good win.
With the victory, Menlo advances to
Tuesdays seminals to take on No. 8-seed
Branham at San Joses Municipal Stadium.
First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Division I
No. 1 Carlmont 9, No. 8 Milpitas 4
The Scots opened their Central Coast
Section playoffs with a convincing win
over the Trojans at Hawes Park Saturday
afternoon.
Carlmont (25-3) will face No. 5 Wilcox in
the Division I semifinals at 4:30 p.m.
Thursday at San Joses PAL Stadium.
It took a while for Carlmont to get its
offense going, but the Scots were hard to
stop once they did. They scratched out a run
on one hit in the second when Christy
Peterson rapped a two-out single to left and
took second when the Milpitas left elders
throw sailed over everybody. Peterson took
third on a wild pitch. With Danielle
Giuliacci at the plate, she hit a popup right
along the first-base line. Giuliacci, the
Milpitas first baseman and the ball all
arrived at the same spot at the same time,
with the ball bouncing off Giuliacci. The
umpires ruled the ball was foul, giving
Giuliacci another chance. The very next
pitch was wild, enabling Peterson to score
from third for a 1-0 Carlmont lead.
The Scots all but put the game away with
ve runs in the third. Kirra Loucks having
aleady scored, Rebecca Faulkner came up with
Jacey Phipps and Kelsey Ching on base and
blasted a three-run homer to center for a 5-0
Carlmont. Gabriella Pons followed with a
solo shot to right to round out the scoring.
The Scots added a run in the bottom of the
fourth when Loucks doubled and scored on a
Milpitas error. Carlmont rounded out its scor-
ing in the bottom of the sixth with Melissa
Pekarek driving in Giuliacci and pinch runner
Sydney Adair scoring on an error.
Carlmont got a little sloppy in the top of
the seventh as Milpitas scored three times,
all of which were unearned.
Faulkner was not as sharp as she usually
is, allowing four runs on seven hits, but
only one of those runs was earned. She n-
ished with eight strikeouts.
Loucks led the offense by reaching base in
all three of her at-bats, getting a third-
inning walk before doubling in the fourth
and singling in the sixth. She also scored
three runs.

The Lady Mustangs (16-13) kept pace
with powerhouse Mitty (28-1) through the

showed why they are ranked No. 4 in the
nation by Maxpreps.com. Mitty triumphed
in Saturdays CCS Division II seminal by
scoring one in the third, two in the fourth
and one in the fth before breaking through
for four earned runs in the sixth. The
Mustangs scored their only run in the sev-
enth on an RBI single by Tanya Fisher to
score Miki Solorzano.
Cap sophomore Rafaela Dade took the
loss, surrendering three unearned runs before
the Mitty power showed up with a solo home
run in the fth. Dade pitched all but four
innings this season and nishes the year
with a 16-11 record and 27 complete games.
With Dade tabbed to pitch for Cap through
2016, head coach Todd Grammatico has rea-
son to be optimistic for the future. Allie

RBI double, an Ally Sarabia sacrice y and
another on a Notre Dame error.
The Cougars increased their lead to 4-0
with an unearned run in the bottom of the
second with Emma Alaimo scoring.
Notre Dame (17-12) got on the scoreboard

drawn a one-out walk.
The Tigers cut their decit to 4-3 with two
more runs in the fth on RBI singles from
Magnani and Soa Reyes.
But the Cougars came back with four runs
in the bottom of the frame that gave them
some breathing room. Angela Brazil and

Olivia Hedding and Morgan Jones would all
come around to score as well during the
rally.

LOS ANGELES Ateam of mutants over-
powered one massive mutant monster at the
box ofce during the Memorial Day holi-
day.
Fox-Marvels X-Men: Days of Future
Past debuted with $91 million beating last
weekends No. 1 hit, the Warner Bros. sci-
adventure Godzilla, which earned $31.4
million in its second weekend, according to
studio estimates Sunday.
Days of Future Past is estimated to earn
nearly $110 million over the four-day
extended holiday weekend, which would
make it the fifth-highest Memorial Day
opener just after last years $117 million-
grossing Fast & Furious 6. Pirates of the
Caribbean: At Worlds End holds as the
highest Memorial holiday debut ever with
$140 million in 2007.
It appears the attention Days of Future
Past director Bryan Singer has received
lately due a sexual assault lawsuit didnt
deter fans from ocking to the theater. The
director dropped out of doing any press for
the lm following the allegations because
he didnt want to divert attention from the
movie.
Rarely do outside situations impact the
box ofce, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior
media analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. The true fans, all they care about
is the movie.
Days of Future Past is the second-high-
est opener in the X-Men franchise after
Brett Ratners X-Men: The Last Stand
debuted over Memorial Day weekend with
$123 million in 2006.
The lm brings together a massive star-
studded cast including Hugh Jackman,
Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael
Fassbender, James McAvoy, Patrick
Stewart, Ian McKellen, Peter Dinklage and
Ellen Page.
Globally, Days of Future Past opened
No. 1 in 119 countries with $262 million,
the highest grossing opening weekend
worldwide of the X-Men franchise and the
biggest Fox International opening weekend
ever.
This is a franchise that started back in
2000, which predated the rst Spider-Man
movie by two years so X-Men started the
renaissance in the world of big superhero
movies, Dergarabedian said.
The Warner Bros. romantic comedy
Blended debuted at No. 3 with a lackluster
$14.2 million. In the movie, Adam Sandler
and Drew Barrymore team up
for the third time following
The Wedding Singer and
50 First Dates.
Though Sandlers Grown
Ups 2 grossed $247 million
worldwide, his box office
success has teetered over the
years. His 2012 comedy
Thats My Boy earned only
$58 million globally, while
his 2011 films, Jack and
Jill and the Jennifer
Aniston co-starring Just Go
With It gained $150 million and $215 mil-
lion worldwide, respectively.
Universals Seth Rogen and Zac Efron-star-
ring lewd comedy Neighbors took in $14
million as it crosses the $100 million mark
domestically with $114 million overall.
Sonys The Amazing Spider-Man 2
rounds out the top ve with $8 million in
its fourth weekend, while Disneys
Million Dollar Arm followed close
behind with a solid $7.1 million in its sec-
ond weekend.
Four comedies populated the top 10 with
Foxs The Other Woman landing at No. 7
and Jon Favreaus Chef, at No. 9.
In 2013, Memorial Day weekend was the
biggest grossing weekend of the year with
$314.2 million over the four-day holiday
that saw Fast & Furious 6, The Hangover
Part III and the animated Epic debut.
This year it will be more like $230 mil-
lion, said Dergarabedian, who notes that
next year has a shot at being a record-break-
ing Memorial weekend due to the debut of
Marvels Avengers sequel Avengers: Age
of Ultron.

ere fast approaching the time
of year when we hear from
younger supporters looking
for volunteer opportunities and commu-
nity service hours. Were happy to have
both! Junior volunteer opportunities are
open to kids age 13-17. We require a
commitment of two hours per week for
six months; the half-year commitment
is because we put a good amount of time
into training each new volunteer and
because we feel young volunteers get a
far richer experience than they would if
they just popped in and out for a few
weeks. The volunteer positions are pret-
ty cool. Kids can spend time caring for
tiny kittens in our nursery, playing
mom for kittens who come into our
care without them. Kids age 16-17 do
this on their own; 13-15 year-olds must
have one parent with them. We treat our
Dog and Cat TLC volunteer positions
the same, with parent involvement
required for 13-15 years old. Dog TLC
volunteers exercise and socialize shelter
pups, while cat helpers offer our kitties
playtime, grooming, exercise and
socialization. Avolunteer role at our
secondhand store the Pick of the
Litter on Chula Vista Avenue in
Burlingame isnt for every young
person, but we definitely have some
hipsters and old souls among our local
youth. As a store volunteer, they would
help us accept donated items, sort them
and get them ready for sale. Finally, jun-
ior age volunteers can also help in our
Wildlife Rescue Center, located on the
middle floor of our Center for
Compassion, above adoptable dogs on
our first floor and below adoptable cats
on our third floor. If you have a child
age 15-17 interested in (or needing!)
community service hours, we can
accommodate. To sign-up for short-term
projects (10-15 hours max) contact our
Volunteer Services Director Brian Probst
at 650/340-7022, ext. 328 or bprob-
st@PHS-SPCA.org .

LOCAL/STATE 19
Besides, he added, this is an opportuni-
ty for the city and the district to establish
a foundation by working with each other
on this issue and using that to address
other issues that arise on their common
constituent base.
This is the first example Ive seen in a
long time for the two agencies to work
together ... that sets the stage for future
collaboration, he said, adding that it
should be seen as a positive that the dis-
trict is interested in working with the city
rather than operating independently.
The question will be how the remaining
three councilmen lean.
If the council approves the resolution, a
protest hearing will be set for June 30 for
written public comment on the idea. The
council can overrule the protests by a vote
of four of the five members and, if so, call
for a special election Nov. 4. The election
must be set by Aug. 8 and the councils last
regular meeting before then is July 14.
Even if the matter goes to voters who
approve the zoning change, the City
Council must still agree by a majority to
whatever arrangement it makes with the
school district. Some of the pending chal-
lenges are the unequal values of the two
parcels, Crestview residents who say the
neighborhood is not a good place for stu-
dents and extra traffic and the city not
having the millions of dollars needed to
turn the Tierra Linda land into a full park
with athletic fields.
The school district is pushing for a deci-
sion quickly because it is under a time
crunch to use 2012 bond money and wants
to know if it needs to find an alternative.
At its last meeting, the council leaned
toward selling Crestview to the district
but met in a closed session the next week
to look at potential other options. Olbert
said after the meeting there was no
reportable action taken.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7
p.m. Tuesday, May 27 at City Hall, 600
Elm St., San Carlos.
LAND
Blight more than meets the threshold,
said County Counsel John Beiers.
Its at a point where a line has been
crossed. An enormous amount of resources
have been spent dealing with Mr. Blight
over the decades, Beiers said.
Within the last seven years, Blight has
filed at least 10 lawsuits in state and fed-
eral courts that have either remained pend-
ing at least two years without a hearing or
trial or that he didnt win. He has reliti-
gated issues after final judgment and, in
one case, filed 16 documents after the
Court of Appeals dismissed it including
copies of correspondence to U.S. senators
Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein,
then-attorney general Jerry Brown and
other notices. The judge finally blocked
Blight from filing any further documents.
Beiers said his offices action is
extraordinarily rare and he can only
recall one other similar petition in his 30
years. The challenge is not only the
amount of lawsuits but the content, he
said.
Most of the time we cant decipher
what hes seeking. They are often hand-
written and incoherent, Beiers said.
The suits keep county counsels from
focusing on other tasks and prevents oth-
ers from having their turn in the court, he
said.
The petition cites several of Blights
suits in San Mateo and Santa Clara coun-
ties and in the federal and state courts.
Among them is a 2008 suit against the
California Judicial Council and
Commission on Judicial Performance
over an unsuccessful earlier San Mateo
County Superior Court case and petitions
to administer the estates of two different
men. In February 2012, he sued San Mateo
County over an alleged $1,000 refund
from property tax and trash collection
fees. In January 2014, a judge dismissed
the suit with prejudice. In February 2012,
he also sued San Carlos Computer, Inc.
and Hasan Farran, a case which has sat for
two years without progress. He also filed a
trespassing and defamation suit in
October 2012 that was dismissed the fol-
lowing year. In September 2013, he sued
San Mateo County and Action Towing but
the case was dismissed.
Blights filings are especially taxing
because it is unclear as to what [he] is fil-
ing or what is he requesting (if anything),
thus wasting significant time of the clerk,
the judge and the opposing parties, the
petition stated.
Blight also filed numerous motions to
challenge an inspection warrant and
abatement warrant in 2012 and 2013
stemming from two unpermitted sheds on
his Eleventh Avenue property which had
been declared an unsafe public nuisance.
When county employees came to the
property last fall to remove the structures,
Blight was reportedly verbally abusive
and threw objects at the workers.
Blight could not be reached for com-
ment.
Ahearing is set for June 25.

LAWSUITS
I know exactly where their house is and
Ive sat outside it in my car to stalk them
many times, Rodger wrote in his extensive
manifesto titled My Twisted World.
No one answered the door after one to two
minutes of aggressive pounding, but he soon
shot three women who were standing nearby,
killing two of them, 19-year-old Veronika
Weiss and 22-year-old Katherine Cooper.
He then drove to a deli where he walked
inside and shot and killed another UC Santa
Barbara student, 20-year-old Christopher
Michaels-Martinez, the sheriff said.
Chris was a really great kid, Michaels-
Martinezs father said at a news conference
where he choked back tears and eventually
collapsed to his knees in agony. Ask anyone
who knew him. His death has left our family
lost and broken.
Michaels-Martinez was the last one killed,
but the rampage would continue as Rodger
drove across Isla Vista, shooting at some
and running down others with his car, twice
exchanging gunre with deputies. He was
shot in the hip, but the gunshot to the head
that killed him was thought to be self-
inicted, Brown said.
Thirteen people were injured, eight from
gunshot wounds, four from the vehicle and
one whose origin wasnt clear. Just four of
the injuries were considered serious. Brown
told CNN on Sunday that investigators were
still nalizing next of kin notications and
positive identications.
Deputies found three semi-automatic hand-
guns with 400 unspent rounds in his black
BMW. All were purchased legally.
Rodger had been a student at various times
in recent years at nearby Santa Barbara City
College, but was no longer in any classes,
the school said in a statement.
Authorities had had three contacts with
Rodger in the past year, including one case
in which he claimed to be beaten but
deputies suspected he was the aggressor.
On April 30, ofcials went to his Isla Vista
apartment to check on him at the request of
his family. But deputies reported back that
he was shy, polite and having a difcult
social life but did not need to be taken in for
mental health reasons, Brown said. Rodger
says in his manifesto: If they had demanded
to search my room... That would have ended
everything. For a few horrible seconds I
thought it was all over.
Attorney Alan Shifman said the Rodger
family had called police after being
alarmed by YouTube videos regarding sui-
cide and the killing of people that Elliot
Rodger had been posting.

After the WAACs were formed in May
of 1942, the women service for the
Navy was organized The WAVES
(Women Accepted for Volunteer
Emergency Service). The women Air
Force service WASP (Women Air Force
Service Pilots) was formed in
September 1942. The Marines got on
board in 1944 without a nickname.
The Marine commandant said none was
needed. Being a Marine says it all.
Because of all of the hassle related
to women being allowed into the
services, President Harry S. Truman
signed the Womens Armed Services
Integration Act in 1948, allowing
women to serve directly in the mili-
tary. On Oct. 15, 1948, the first eight
women were commissioned in the
regular Navy.
During the war, almost 400,000
women served in the armed forces. By
the end of the war, there were few non-
combatant jobs in which women did
not serve. The attitude of women serv-
ing "over my dead body that was
accepted before 1941 quickly dis-
solved when the women of the United
States proved they could serve our
country as well as males.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold
Fredricks appears in the Monday edi-
tion of the Daily Journal.
HISTORY
of the Graduate School of Education at
Stanford University; and district alum-
nus Steve Westly, former California
controller.
Opposition
The rebuttal, written by Mark
Hinkle, president of the Silicon Valley
Taxpayers Association, states the dis-
trict is spending irresponsibly.
When school boards put bond
measures like Measure A before the
voters, they are admitting that every-
thing they are spending your tax dol-
lars on now is more important than the
projects for which this tax increase is
being sought, he wrote. Budgets
show us priorities. The Sequoia Union
High School District says they want
to avoid overcrowding, provide updat-
ed classroom technology, labs, etc.,
but are those priorities in their current
budget? No.
It goes on to state the district already
had a $165 million bond measure in
2008 that was supposed to take care of
technology funds for 10 years.
Additionally, it notes most people
would not pay for a computer class or
laptop with a 25-year loan. It states
buildings shouldnt be updated every
10 years with a 25-year bond and that
the districts spending is 141 percent
more per student than the statewide
average. Teachers in the district make
an average of $81,674 per year versus
the statewide average of $72,962 per
year, it states.
Anything that has to do with tech-
nology is obsolete in three to ve
years its going to be in the land or
recycling in that time, Hinkle said.
Its a very bad deal for the taxpayers.
Why go out to take out a loan for
improvements when there should be
money in the budget?
The uncertainty about the interest
rate available at the time bonds are
issued is another problem bonds pose,
he said. The bond could cost up to
$500 million with interest rates, he
added.
We also dont know the cost today
versus ve years down the road given
ination, he said. Down the road
costs will be higher. They say it
cant be used on administrative costs,
but if they use part of the bond money
on the part of the budget thats used for
repairs, that frees up a lot of money for
teacher salaries.
Overcrowding is not something
schools should worry about, Hinkle
said. The district should be putting
more money into hiring high quality
teachers and buying educational mate-
rials rather than administrative costs
and new facilities, he added.
Study after study has indicated class
sizes after kindergarten, rst-, second-
and third-grade makes no difference,
he said. Theres no justication [for
the bond measure] other than to hire
more teachers. If this is supposed to be
for the kids, than you might want to
spend the money elsewhere. If you
put a dollar into a new building, what
does that do for the education of the
child? Nothing.
Enrollment projections
Proponents of the measure cite a
demographic study that indicates the
district is projected to grow starting in
the 2014-15 school year, reaching
more than 10,000 students by 2020-
21. Projections indicate that the dis-
trict will reach 10,056 students by
2020-21. These projections are based
in part on partner elementary district
growth. Enrollment in the partner dis-
tricts started to grow in 2006-07 from
22,893 students and reached 24,653
students in 2012-13. Getting class-
rooms in place is the districts priori-
t y, said bond co-chair Julie Quinlan.
You see them (the students) coming
up and were concerned what the quali-
ty academics might face with the
enrollment issue, Quinlan said. The
writing is on the wall in my view and
they have to be ready.
Our high-performing high schools
have drawn families to our communi-
ties, causing a surge in student enroll-
ment, the argument goes on to state.
Measure A will avoid school over-
crowding, help protect our high
schools diverse curriculum and ensure
students can enroll in the classes they
require.
Over the last 12 to 14 years weve
absorbed the additional students
through good planning and tax stew-
ardship, said Horak, who lives in San
Carlos and has a seventh- and eighth-
grader. But now its (the measure) the
right thing to do. We have to give our
kids a strong education since were
right next to Silicon Valley.
Quinlan notes that the demographic
study conducted doesnt even include a
potential housing development in
Menlo Park that could add even more
students to the district.
Change in school borders
Another reason for needing to add
more classrooms is the districts
recent change in borders to focus on
making sure students are able to attend
neighborhood schools, a key to equi-
t y, Trustee Alan Sarver said.
It strengthens community connec-
tions to keep cohorts together,
Sarver said. It sets a stable back-
ground for the population pressure.
In rebuttal to Hinkles statements,
the pro side wrote this rigid ideologue
who doesnt even live in our com-
munity has filed an argument
against every school measure on the
ballot in every recent major election.
It goes on to state that currently each
of the comprehensive high schools is
at or near capacity.
Science and 21st-century techno-
logical skills are essential for success
in todays competitive economy, it
states. Measure Aprovides additional
science labs and updated technology to
prepare students for the modern work-
place. By making our local high
schools a priority, our entire commu-
nity benets. Good schools improve
neighborhood safety and strengthen
property values.
The argument in favor also addresses
scal accountability, noting the funds
cant be taken by the state; no funds
can be used for administrators
salaries; and the measure would qualify
the districts schools for future state
matching funds and citizen oversight
and annual audits are required to ensure
all funds are used for voter-approved
purposes.

WORLD 28
By Julie Pace
BAGRAM AIR FIELD,
Afghanistan President Barack
Obama slipped into Afghanistan
for a surprise visit Sunday and
made clear that the U.S. will like-
ly maintain a limited role here
even after its combat mission
ends this year and Americas
longest war comes to a close.
Americas commitment to the
people of Afghanistan will
endure, he pledged.
Speaking to troops gathered in
an airplane hangar on this sprawl-
ing military base, Obama said the
war had reached a pivotal point,
with Afghan forces assuming pri-
mary responsibility for their coun-
trys security. But while many of
the 32,800 U.S. forces now in
Afghanistan will leave in the com-
ing months, Obama said a contin-
ued military presence could help
protect gains made during nearly
13 years of ghting.
After all the sacrices weve
made, we want to preserve the gains
that you have helped to win and
were going to make sure that
Afghanistan can never again, ever,
be used again to launch an attack
against our country, Obama
declared.
At least 2,181 members of the
U.S. military have died during
the nearly 13-year Afghan war
and thousands more have been
wounded.
Obama told the troops, For
many of you, this will be your last
tour in Afghanistan, a comment
was met with an eruption of
applause. Americas war in
Afghanistan will come to a respon-
sible end.
The president appeared optimistic
that the Afghan government soon
would sign a bilateral security agree-
ment allowing the U.S. to keep
some forces in the country to train
Afghans and launch counterterror-
ism operations. He has been consid-
ering keeping up to 10,000 troops
in Afghanistan and said he would
announce his decision shortly.
That announcement could come
as early as Wednesday, when
Obama delivers the commencement
address at the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point, New York.
Obama arrived at Bagram Air
Field, the main U.S. base in
Afghanistan, under the cover of
darkness for his rst trip to the war
zone since 2012. He spent about
four hours at the base and did not go
to Kabul, the capital, to meet with
Hamid Karzai, the mercurial presi-
dent who has had a tumultuous rela-
tionship with the White House.
Instead, officials said Obama
wanted to keep the focus during his
Memorial Day weekend visit on the
troops serving in the wars closing
months. Karzais ofce said it had
declined a U.S. Embassy invitation
for him to go to Bagram to see
Obama. The White House said
Obama was not meeting with the
outgoing Afghan president in order
to avoid getting involved in
Afghan politics.
Instead, Obama called Karzai
from Air Force One on his way back
to the U.S. Asenior administration
ofcial traveling with the president
said the two leaders discussed the
progress that has been made by
Afghan security forces and its suc-
cessful rst round of elections.
Obama told Karzai he would be in
touch with him before announcing
any decision on the U.S. troop
presence in Afghanistan after 2014.
Obamas visit, his fourth to
Afghanistan as president, came at a
time of transition for a country
long mired in conict. Most of the
U.S. and international forces in
Afghanistan are withdrawing ahead
of the year-end deadline. Elections
are underway to replace Karzai, the
only president Afghanistan has
known since the U.S.-led invasion
in 2001.
Karzai stunned the White House
by refusing to sign a bilateral secu-
rity agreement needed to keep U.S.
troops in Afghanistan after this
year. His decision has delayed U.S.
decision making on a post-2014
presence, leading Obama to ask the
Pentagon to work up plans for a
possible full withdrawal of
American forces.
But with both candidates on the
ballot in next months Afghan pres-
idential election runoff vowing to
quickly sign the security agreement,
Obama appeared more condent
Sunday that there would be a contin-
ued U.S. troop presence after 2014.
After an overnight ight from
Washington, Obama attended a brief-
ing with U.S. ofcials. He said that
as he entered the brieng room, he
saw a poster of the Twin Towers
destroyed in the 2001 terrorist
attacks.
Its a reminder of why were
here, he said.
Obama was accompanied by a few
advisers, including senior counselor
John Podesta, whose son is serving
in Afghanistan. Country singer Brad
Paisley joined Obama on Air Force
One and entertained the troops as
they waited for the president.
As is typical of recent presiden-
tial trips to war zones, the White
House did not announce Obamas
visit in advance. Media traveling
with Obama for the 13-hour ight
had to agree to keep the trip secret
until the president had arrived.
After his remarks, Obama visited
with injured service members being
treated at a base hospital.
Pentagon ofcials have pushed
for as many as 10,000 troops; oth-
ers in the administration favor as
few as 5,000 troops. Obama has
insisted he will not keep any
Americans in Afghanistan without a
signed security agreement that
would grant those forces immunity
from Afghan law.
