The grants announced Wednesday,
May 27, are part of a larger effort
called the Big Lift, which has collected
$28 million with an aim to replicate
the initial effort elsewhere in the county.

Burlingame housing project

receives preliminary approval
Some San Carlos residents contend the citys claim that

support for purchasing the Black Mountain properties
approaches 90 percent is more public relations gimmick
than the truth.
Special project director Elaine Costello discussed support
for the project at Tuesday nights City Council meeting
where she also indicated that 96 percent who responded to
an online survey on Shape San Carlos said the properties
would be a valuable addition to the city.
The online survey shows that 85 percent would support a
bond measure, Costello told the council.
But residents Scott Gattey, Barbara Rodriguez and Wade
Kingery say that they and a lot of other San Carlos residents
oppose purchasing the property for a variety of reasons and
are letting their feelings be heard on Nextdoor.com.

Lawyer: Confinement of chimps

for research akin to slavery
NEW YORK A lawyer seeking to
free two chimpanzees from a state university told a judge Wednesday that
their confinement for research purposes is akin to slavery, the involuntary
detention of people with mental illnesses and imprisonment.
Steven Wise, an attorney with the
Nonhuman Rights Project, told
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge
Barbara Jaffe in a nearly two-hour hearing that Hercules and Leo are
autonomous and self-determining
beings who should be granted a writ
of habeas corpus and be moved from
Stony Brook University on Long
Island to a sanctuary in Florida.
Theyre essentially in solitary confinement, Wise told the judge before a
crowd of about 100 people packed into
the Manhattan courthouses ceremonial courtroom. This is what we do to
the worst human criminal.
The 8-year-old chimps are used for
locomotion studies at Stony Brook.
Christopher Coulston, an assistant
state attorney general representing the
university, argued that the case was
meritless on procedural grounds
because the venue was improper and
because granting the chimps personhood would create a slippery slope
regarding the rights of other animals.

MTC approves tenfold expansion

of Bay Area Bike Share program
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A tenfold expansion of the Bay Area Bike

Share program was unanimously approved
Wednesday morning by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission.
The expansion to more than 7,000 bicycles, set to be completed by 2017, would
introduce the popular program in the East
Bay for the first time and come at no cost to
taxpayers, MTC officials said.
Bike sharing, a subscription service
where bikes are available at docking stations for short rides, was first introduced in
the Bay Area in 2013 with 700 bikes at 70
docking stations in San Francisco,
Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View
and San Jose.
The program has proven successful, particularly in San Francisco, and an expansion of the system has been planned since
shortly after its inception. However,
planned expansions were stalled when bicy-
Comment on
or share this story at
cle manufacturer Bixi went bankrupt last
year.
But the company that operates the system
has since reorganized its supply chain and
is ready to expand it significantly over the
next two years.
Now called Motivate International Inc.,
the company operates similar systems in
Chicago; New York; Washington, D.C.;
Seattle, and other cities in the U.S. and
Canada. The company says it can expand
the program at no cost to taxpayers by funding it through corporate sponsorship, a
model that has already proven successful in
other urban areas.
Motivate CEO Jay Walder said at
Wednesdays MTC meeting that bike share
bicycles are used in numerous different
ways, including connecting to BART, San
Francisco Municipal Railway or Caltrain,

taking rides between neighborhoods not
well connected by public transit, running
quick errands or just to get some exercise.
Thats the beauty of bike share: Each person can make it what they want it to be,
Walder said. In the blink of an eye it will
become part of the urban fabric of the
cities.
The planned expansion would make the
Bay Areas bike share system the secondlargest in the country, Walder said.
Most of the new bikes would go to San
Francisco, where the total number of bikes
would jump to 4,500. After the expansion,
there would be 1,000 bikes in San Jose, 850
in Oakland, 400 in Berkeley and 100 in
Emeryville.
Mountain View, Palo Alto and Redwood
City could get up to 155 bikes between the
three cities, though bike sharing has not
proven to be particularly popular there and
the cities may decide to abandon bike sharing altogether, according to MTC officials.
California awards $250M to high school career prep programs

By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO California is betting

big $1.4 billion over five years that
connecting high school studies to specific
careers will get more students to graduate,
go on to college and find well-paying jobs.
In the latest incarnation of vocational
education programs that once prepared
young people for skilled trades, the state
distributed nearly $250 million in grants
Wednesday to dozens of so-called career
pathways programs that combine aca-
demic and technical coursework at the high

school and community college level with
hands-on training and work experience supplied by employers.
The recipients represent high-demand
fields such as health care, agriculture,
information technology and advanced manufacturing that are facing a shortage of
skilled workers, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said. He
announced the grants at a Silicon Valley
technical education center that plans to use
its $6 million grant to expand its offerings
for high school students by offering courses
in in cyber security, computer coding and
drone programming.
My top priority is to better prepare
California students for college and careers
in the 21st century, Torlakson said.
Career Pathways provides vital support for
innovative, practical, and effective career
tech programs that keep students engaged in
school and prepared for real-world jobs.

Camera store burglar gets probation

The man tied to the attempted theft of $5
million worth of camera equipment from a
San Carlos rental business by DNA left at the
scene was sentenced to three years supervised probation Wednesday, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
San Francisco resident Tyrone Brennan,
30, was also ordered to enter and complete a
drug treatment program at Delancey Street,
where he is already enrolled.
Brennan had a prior felony strike conviction but his defense attorney had it successfully struck from consideration during sentencing.
He will be sent to state prison if he violates the terms of probation, according to
prosecutors.
As a business owner, I can tell you that
break-ins like this take a financial and emotional toll on us and its disappointing to see
that Mr. Brennan did not get a stiffer punishment, said store owner Max Shevyakov.
Brennan entered the business in April
2013 by breaking a glass door in an adjoining business and then cleaning up pieces to
remain undetected. He then used power tools
to cut a hole through the common wall
between the two businesses and entered
Borrowlenses on the 1600 block of
Industrial Road in San Carlos.
He tried cutting into a locked metal cage
holding the camera equipment but fled when
an alarm sounded, leaving the power tools
and a welding mask behind, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
The mask had Brennans DNA in it, however, which led to his arrest nearly a year later.

After the collision, the suspect attempted to flee the scene, but deputies detained
and arrested him, according to sheriffs
officials.
The suspect, Santa Cruz resident Douglas

had ingested methamphetamine and heroin

Deputies also found that McGill was in
possession of marijuana, heroin, drug
paraphernalia and two small plastic bags
of a substance suspected to be narcotics,
according to sheriffs officials.
McGill was injured during the collision
and taken to a hospital, deputies said.
No other motorists were injured during

whale washed ashore in Northern

California, the 12th carcass that has
appeared in the past few months and marks
a higher-than-normal number of deaths but
not a record.
The dozen whales have been found along
nearly 300 miles of coastline and are of
different species and various ages. In a typical year, one or two gray whales wash
ashore, said Frances Gulland, the senior
scientist for the Marine Mammal Center.
The most recent animal appeared
Tuesday on a beach along the Point Reyes
National Seashore, officials said. Its
badly decomposed and headless, making
identifying the species and its age difficult, said Mary Jane Schramm, spokeswoman for the Gulf of the Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary.
(The condition) suggests it could be a
killer whale attack, she said.
Scientists are trying to determine if
there is a connection between the beached
whales. They are considering factors such
as environmental changes, food distribution, shipping and predator behavior.
We are seeing them coming from so
many different species and various causes
of death, Schramm said. One of the reasons we are seeing such a cluster at one
time is we have very strong winds that
have been blowing consistently that are
washing things onto shore.
Scientists say the deaths could be part
of the annual gray whale migration from
Mexico to Alaska, the newspaper reported.
At least one of the whales showed evidence of being hit by a ship. Two others
were missing limbs, which indicates they
got tangled in fishing gear or attacked by
killer whales.
The latest beached whale appeared a few
days after a 28-foot juvenile gray whale
washed up on the Sonoma County coast.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

Last week, a gray whale carcass appeared
in Half Moon Bay as officials buried a
sperm whale and a humpback whale.
In April, two gray whales got beached in
Santa Cruz County, a killer whale was
found near Fort Bragg and a gray whale
washed up in Monterey County.
Many of the dead were gray whales, but
they were so badly decomposed that
researchers have not been able to determine how they died, Gulland said.
The last large increase in whale deaths
was in 1999 and 2000, when 40 dead gray
whales were found on beaches in the Bay
Area, she said.
Before that die-off, there were 26, 600
gray whales nationwide, according to
estimates by the National Marine
Mammal Laboratory in Seattle.
Bay Area doctors to treat

The Federal Drug Administration is

Ecstasy, or MDMA, is a recreational
drug that brings on feelings of loving
and caring, says Dr. Phil Wolfson, who
is leading the 15-month experiment.
The federal government currently considers the recreational drug to have no
therapeutic value, the stations reports.
Wolfson will conduct a clinical trial of

with a number of intense therapeutic sessions.
Wolfson says he knows firsthand that
ecstasy is effective in easing extreme
anxiety. He says he used it when his son

Memorable moments of National Spelling Bee

thing.

OXON HILL, Md. An impressive field

of 283 young spellers was narrowed to 49
semifinalists during Wednesdays preliminary rounds of the Scripps National
Spelling Bee. The remaining spellers will
compete on Thursday for more than
$37,000 in cash and prizes.
Among the semifinalists: Gokul
Venkatachalam of Chesterfield, Missouri,
who finished third last year. Gokul, a matter-of-fact speller who shows little emotion
onstage, was one of three who got perfect
scores on the preliminary spelling and
vocabulary test.
Also advancing to the semifinals were
Vanya Shivashankar, a five-time participant and the younger sister of the 2009
champion; Srinath Mahankali, the younger
brother of the 2013 winner; and Jairam
Hathwar, whose older brother was one of

Rick Santorum announces second White House run

Santorum launched a 2016 White House bid on Wednesday,
vowing to fight for working-class

will test his influence and focus on
social issues in a changing
Republican Party.
The former Pennsylvania senator may
have exceeded his own expectations by
scoring a second-place finish in the race
for the Republican presidential nominaRick Santorum tion four years ago. Yet as he enters a
more powerful and diverse 2016 field, he
may struggle even to qualify for the debate stage in his second run.
I am proud to stand here, among you and for you, the
American workers who have sacrificed so much, to
announce that I am running for president of the United
States, the 57-year-old senator said, flanked by factory
workers and six of his seven children in a cinderblock warehouse near his western Pennsylvania hometown.

Nebraska abolishes death

penalty in landmark override vote
LINCOLN, Neb. Nebraska abolished the death penalty
on Wednesday over the governors objections in a move
pushed through the Legislature with unusual backing from
conservatives who oppose capital punishment for religious, financial and practical reasons.
Senators in the one-house Legislature voted 30-19 to
override the veto of Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican who
supports the death penalty. The vote makes Nebraska the
first traditionally conservative state to eliminate the punishment since North Dakota in 1973.
The override vote passed by the narrowest possible
margin drew a burst of applause from death penalty opponents in the gallery above the legislative chamber.
Whenever anything historic occurs, its never the doing
of one person, said Sen. Ernie Chambers, an independent
who introduced a repeal measure 38 times. Ive been pushing for this for 40 years, but all of this time its never been
done. If it could be done by one man, it would have been
done a long time ago.
Pentagon: Military mistakenly

WASHINGTON The Centers for Disease Control and

to receive dead spores.
At this time we do not suspect any risk to the general
public, CDC spokeswoman Kathy Harben said.
A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said the suspected live anthrax samples were shipped from Dugway
Proving Ground, an Army facility in Utah, using a commercial delivery service.

FBI worry surveillance tools are in

jeopardy amid Patriot Act debate
By Eric Tucker
WASHINGTON As Congress wrestles over renewing the bulk collection

of Americans phone records, federal
law enforcement officials are warning
that legal authority is also at risk for
lesser-known surveillance tools that
are even more valuable in fighting terrorism.
The Patriot Act authorities give the
FBI flexibility to intercept the calls of
terror suspects who continuously
switch phones during the course of an
investigation and to conduct surveillance on lone wolf individuals who
pose threats but arent affiliated with
an international terrorism organization.
U. S. officials have defended the
need for those powers over the last
decade, but have amplified those
efforts in recent weeks as the expiration dates for their authority nears
without any signals of a congressional compromise that would keep
them from lapsing along with other

parts of the act on June 1.

The Senate returns to session
Sunday, facing a deadline to reach a
last-minute agreement to renew a oncesecret National Security Agency program that collects Americans phone
records in bulk. Provisions of the
Patriot Act dealing with lone-wolf targets and roving wiretaps would also
expire at midnight with the phone
records program.
FBI Director James Comey has called
bulk phone collection a useful tool to
the FBIs counterterrorism efforts. But
recently he has expressed more concern
about being able to maintain the lone
wolf and roving wiretap capabilities,
as well as a separate Patriot Act provision that allows the FBI to obtain
secret court orders to collect documents
such as hotel and travel records during
terrorism investigations, and which
also would be affected by the deadline.
I sure hope Congress figures out a
way to make sure I dont lose these
essential tools, he said during a visit
Tuesday to the New Haven,
Connecticut, field office of the FBI.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch

warned Wednesday against permitting
the expiration of vital and uncontroversial tools we use to combat terrorism
and crime.
But civil liberties lawyers say the FBI
already has the tools it needs and
havent presented enough information
to justify the use of these additional
authorities. The American Civil
Liberties Union accuses intelligence
officials and some in Congress of
scaremongering about the Patriot Act
and says the debated authorities give
the government too much discretion in
national security investigations.
Existing laws provide ample authority for the government to obtain information about individuals who are planning attacks of terrorism, ACLU
lawyers wrote in a memo urging
Congress to let the provisions expire.
The FBI has had roving wiretap
authority since the 1980s for criminal
investigations such as drug cases, and
the Patriot Act of 2001 extended its use
for counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations.

Homeowners clean up in Texas; death toll climbs to 21

By Seth Robbins and Juan A. Lozano
HOUSTON Homeowners dragged soggy

carpet to the curb and mopped up coffee-colored muck Wednesday after a barrage of
storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma
left at least 21 people dead and 11 others
missing.
More rain fell on the hard-hit Houston
area, temporarily complicating the cleanup
a day after a downpour of nearly a foot triggered the worst flooding the nations fourthlargest city has seen in years. Hundreds of
homes were damaged.
Severe weather continued in other parts of
Texas, with hundreds of people west of Fort
Worth told to evacuate along the rising
Brazos River and flash flood warnings posted in many areas.
Gadi Shaulsky spent the day cutting wet
carpet and padding from his home in
Houstons Meyerland section and taking it
to the curb. His neighbors were doing the
same. A water mark showed that up to 6
inches of water had seeped into the home.
That was just really frightening. It was
just flowing in, said Shaulskys wife, Jodi.
With tears in her eyes, she added: Its hard
to wrap your head around all that needs to be
done.
Houston Mayor Annise Parker said two
people whose boat capsized during a rescue
were missing. Another person was missing
in suburban Houston. And in Central Texas,
crews resumed the search for nine people
feared dead after the swollen Blanco River
smashed through Wimberley, a small tourist
town between San Antonio and Austin, over
the Memorial Day weekend.
The storms that produced the flooding
were part of a system that stretched from
Mexico into the central U.S. The death toll
from the system climbed to 35 14 in
Mexico, 17 in Texas and four in Oklahoma.
The Houston area alone had seven stormrelated deaths.
Matt Meeks and his wife, Natalie, worked
to clean up the resort on the banks of the
Blanco that has been in his family for five

generations, since the 1920s.
Of the 14 rock cabins at Rio Bonito
Resort, probably only five will be salvageable, they said. Two were destroyed and
seven appeared structurally unsound.
Meeks parents own the resort, but he
took charge of removing the debris and salvaging the furniture because theyre too
emotionally tied to the place to decide what
gets junked and what stays.
On the night of the flood, they got all 100
guests out safely after the fire chief called to
warn that the river was rising. The river had
never gotten so close to the cabins before,
Meeks said.
This has been the wettest month on record
for Texas, and there are still several days
left. The state climatologists office said
Wednesday that Texas has gotten an average
of 7.54 inches of rain in May, breaking the
old record of 6.66 inches, set in June 2004.
Texas has been hit with almost continuous storms for the past week to 10 days. The
wettest area has been from Dallas-Fort
Worth to the Red River, where some places

telephone and in-person warnings to residents ahead of the bad weather but acknowledged the difficulty in reaching tourists and
said a messaging system in Houston is
awaiting improvements.
Nobody was saying, Get out! Get out!
Get out! said Brenda Morton of
Wimberley. She said year-round residents
know the risks, but people who were visiting or had summer homes, you have company from out of town, you dont know. You
dont know when that instant is.
Wimberley saw some of the heaviest damage, including the loss of a two-story vacation home that was swept downstream and
slammed into a bridge. Eight people in the
home went missing, including three children.
Authorities in surrounding Hays County
said the warnings included multiple cellphone alerts and calls to landlines.

New federal rules on

stream protection
hailed and criticized
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON New federal

rules designed to better protect
small streams, tributaries and wetlands and the drinking water of
117 million Americans are
being criticized by Republicans
and farm groups as going too far.
The White House says the rules,
issued Wednesday, will provide
much-needed clarity for landowners about which waterways must
be protected against pollution and
development. But House Speaker
John Boehner declared they will
send landowners, small businesses, farmers and manufacturers
on the road to a regulatory and
economic hell.
The rules, issued by the
Environmental
Protection
Agency and the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, aim to clarify which
smaller waterways fall under federal protection after two Supreme
Court rulings left the reach of the
Clean Water Act uncertain. EPA
Administrator Gina McCarthy
said the waters affected would be
only those with a direct and significant connection to larger
bodies of water downstream that
are already protected.
The Supreme Court decisions in
2001 and 2006 left 60 percent of
the nations streams and millions
of acres of wetlands without clear
federal protection, according to

EPA, causing confusion for
landowners and government officials.
The new rules would kick in and
force a permitting process only if
a business or landowner took
steps to pollute or destroy covered waters.
EPA says the rules will help
landowners understand exactly
which waters fall under the Clean
Water Act. For example, a tributary must show evidence of flowing water to be protected such
as a bank or a high water mark.
President Barack Obama said
that while providing that clarity
for business and industry, the
rules will ensure polluters who
knowingly threaten our waters
can be held accountable.
There is deep opposition from
the Republican-led Congress and
from farmers and other landowners concerned that every stream,
ditch and puddle on their private
land could now be subject to federal oversight. The House voted to
block the regulations earlier this
month, and a Senate panel is
planning to consider a similar
bill this summer.
House Speaker Boehner called
the rules a raw and tyrannical
power grab.
EPAs McCarthy has acknowledged the proposed regulations
last year were confusing, and she

said the final rules were written to
be clearer. She said the regulations dont create any new permitting requirements for agriculture
and even add new exemptions for
artificial lakes and ponds and
water-filled depressions from construction, among other features.
These efforts were to make
clear our goal is to stay out of
agricultures way, McCarthy and
Assistant Secretary of the Army
for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy
said in a blog on the EPA website.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation has led opposition to
the rules, saying they could make
business more difficult for farmers. The group said Wednesday
that it would wait to review the
final rules before responding.

The agriculture industry has
been particularly concerned about
the regulation of drainage ditches
on farmland. The EPA and Army
Corps said the only ditches that
would be covered under the rule are
those that look, act and function
like tributaries and carry pollution downstream.
Another farm group, the
National Farmers Union, said it
still has some concerns about the
impact on farmers but is pleased
with the increased clarity on
ditches, removing a gray area
that has caused farmers and ranchers an incredible amount of concern.
Since the rules were originally
proposed last year, the EPA has

been working to clear up some
misconceptions, putting to rest
rumors that puddles in your backyard would be regulated, for example. Farming practices currently
exempted from the Clean Water
Act plowing, seeding and the
movement of livestock, among
other things will continue to
be exempted.
Environmentalists praised the
rules, saying many of the nations
waters would regain federal protections that had been in doubt
since the Supreme Court rulings.
Margie Alt, executive director
with Environment America, called
the rules the biggest victory for
clean water in a decade.

Selling all oor sample Dining Sets at

WASHINGTON Five senior Taliban

leaders released last year from the U.S.
prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in
exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could
move freely around the world next week as
their one-year travel ban expires.
The five detainees were sent to Qatar
where government officials agreed to monitor their activities and prevent them from
traveling out of the country under the
terms of the May 2014 exchange.
Bergdahl, who had been held captive by
the Taliban for nearly five years after walking away from his Army post in
Afghanistan, was released to the U.S. military.
He recently was charged with desertion.
U.S. officials have discussed with the
Qataris the possibility of extending the
travel ban after it expires on June 1. But so
far, the White House has not publicly
announced any new agreement with Qatar,
meaning the five could leave the tiny
nation on the Arabian Peninsula at the end
of the month.
In Congress, we spent a lot of time
debating whether the Qataris were going to
adequately keep an eye on them in the
course of the 12 months, said Rep. Adam
Schiff of California, the top Democrat on
the House Intelligence committee. My
point all along was that Im more worried
about month No. 13 than the first 12.
Schiff has been privy to the details of
the still-secret memorandum of understanding the U.S. reached with Qatar that
put the five under a 12-month watch following their release.
The Qataris did pretty good I wouldnt say perfect, he said about the yearlong monitoring. But the big question is
what comes next.

At least one of the five allegedly contacted militants during the past year while
in Qatar. No details have been disclosed
about that contact, but the White House
confirmed that one was put under enhanced
surveillance. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,
chairman of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, said last week: I know that at
least one has had communication with the
Taliban.
One or more of the detainees had some
members of the al-Qaida-affiliated Haqqani
militant group travel to Qatar to meet with
them earlier in the year, according to Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. That was an indication that the group was reaching out to
communicate with the so-called Taliban
Five, said Graham, who predicts all five
will rejoin the fight.
Four of the five former detainees remain
on the United Nations blacklist, which
freezes their assets and has them under a
separate travel ban. But the U.N. itself has
acknowledged that its travel ban has been
violated. In a report late last year, the U.N.
sanctions committee stated: Regrettably,
the monitoring team continues to receive a
steady albeit officially unconfirmed
flow of media reports indicating that some
listed individuals have become increasingly adept at circumventing the sanctions
measures, the travel ban in particular.
The State Department insists that U.S.
officials work to mitigate the risk of former Guantanamo detainees returning to the
fight, threatening Americans or jeopardizing U.S. national security. U.S. officials
have noted in the past that the five Taliban
leaders are middle-aged or older, were former officials in the Taliban government
and probably wouldnt be seen again on
any battlefield, although they could continue to be active members of the Taliban.

IS suicide attacks in Iraqs Anbar kill 17 troops

By Sinan Salaheddin
BAGHDAD As Iraqi forces gathered for

a major new offensive to try to take back
the sprawling Sunni heartland of Anbar
province, Islamic State militants struck
first, unleashing a wave of suicide bombings that killed at least 17 soldiers.
The attacks outside the extremist-held
city of Fallujah came just hours after the
Iraqi government announced the start of a
wide-scale operation to recapture areas
under Islamic State control in the vast desert
province that stretches to the border with
Jordan.
The militants used a sandstorm that
engulfed most of Iraq to launch the deadly
wave of bombings late Tuesday night, Brig.
Gen Saad Maan Ibrahim, the spokesman for
the Joint Military Command, told the
Associated Press.
He said it was not clear how many suicide
attackers were involved in the bombings
but they struck from multiple directions at
the Iraqi troops, who were gathered near a
water control station and a lock system on a
canal between the Euphrates River and Lake
Tharthar as they prepared to deploy.
Last month, the water station near
Fallujah fell into the hands of the militants
following attacks that also included multiple suicide bombings that killed a general
commanding the 1st Division and a dozen
other officers and soldiers, Ibrahim said.
Iraqi government forces retook the station a few days later. Fallujah lies to the east
of the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi,
which was captured 10 days ago by the
Islamic State militants in a major defeat for
Iraqi troops.
The military, humiliated last year when it
crumbled in the face of the militant
onslaught in the city of Mosul, had regained
some momentum after its victory in Saddam
Husseins hometown of Tikrit last month.

Iraqi security forces defend their headquarters against attacks by Islamic State extremists in
the eastern part of Ramadi in Anbar province, Iraq.
The campaign to retake Anbar, which is said
to be backed by Shiite militias and pro-government Sunni fighters, is deemed critical
in regaining momentum in the fight against
the Islamic State group.
The capture of Ramadi, followed only
days later by the fall of the ancient Syrian
town of Palmyra, showed the Islamic State
groups ability to advance in both countries
despite months of U.S.-led airstrikes. Capt.
Andrew Caulk, a U.S. Air Force spokesman
in Qatar, told the AP it will continue to provide air support to government-controlled
Iraqi forces throughout the country, includ-
ing near Ramadi, where it has been carrying

out airstrikes for several months.
In Palmyra, Syrian activists said Islamic
State militants shot dead a group of
detainees in the Roman theater in the
towns ancient ruins after gathering people
to watch. They said Islamic State gunmen
killed at least 15 men after accusing them of
having fought with President Bashar
Assads troops.
The slayings were reported by activists
belonging to a Palmyra-based media collective and the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights.
The theater is part of the 2,000-year-old

Roman-era ruins in Palmyra.
Syrias foreign minister said Wednesday
that his government was not pinning any
hopes on the U.S.-led coalition carrying
out airstrikes against Islamic State group
militants in his country.
At a news conference in Damascus, Walid
al-Moallem said the coalition was active in
preventing the Kurdish town of Kobani
from falling to the extremists last year but
that support seems to have evaporated
after that.
The United States did nothing to prevent
Palmyra in Syria or Anbar province in Iraq
from falling into their hands, he said.
Were not pinning any hopes on that
alliance and anyone who does is living an
illusion, al-Moallem added.
He said Iraq and Syria were fighting the
same battle but added that security coordination between their two armies has not
reached the desired levels.
Also Wednesday, Syrian activists said the
Islamic State group released two elderly
Christian women who had been held along
with dozens of others since February in
northeastern Syria.
At the time, they kidnapped more than
220 Assyrian Christians after overrunning
several farming communities on the southern bank of the Khabur River in Hassakeh
province.
The two women, who are 70 and 75 years
old, were released Tuesday and have now
reached the northwestern city of Hassakeh,
said Osama Edwards, director of the
Assyrian Network for Human Rights.
Another activist group, the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights, said the two
were likely released because of their poor
health. Some of the captives had been
released previously.
Edwards said the Islamic State group is
still holding 210 Assyrian Christians and is
demanding $100,000 for each hostage.

Can Marriage Exist Between
Science And Religion?

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE
Some
say
that
science and religion
dont mix. Some
say that science is
the ultimate search
for God. Some say
religion supersedes
science, some say both have equal stature
and others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of the
correlation between science and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with the
aspiration of science is to explain the
universe and answer questions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychological
needs when dealing with the realities of
death. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based on
human curiosity and the need to find
answers. Whether a person is repetitively
reading religious scripture, or fascinated by
repeatable scientific experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answer
questions about the universe around us.
It can be debated that early humans
turned to religion as a way to alleviate their
fears and gain reassurance with the concept
of life after death. This helped to give them
a sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious.
Eventually
scientific realization evolved along side
religion and the process of trial and error
established itself as a way to solve some of
these mysteries. Firethe wheelfarming.
The more humans observed the world they
lived in, the more they leaned how the
natural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over the
centuries religious power came at odds with
scientific discovery, which led to a period of
scientific stagnation: The Dark Ages.

Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,
astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroads
where religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientific
processes.
One prime example is the
Vaticans
Pontifical
Academy
of
Sciences. Quoting John Paul II: ...today
eminent scientists are members a visible
sign of the profound harmony that can
exist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith.... Gregor Mendel, the father
of Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much of
the Big Bang Theory, was a Belgian priest.
Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a fingerprint, and every human
brain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious cap
or your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,
close your eyes, examine your deep
thoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment finely attuned to both.

and eventually push it out of the 19country eurozone, a step that could
shake the currency union and the global
economy.
The news helped the euro stabilize
against the dollar after its sell-off
Tuesday. The drop in the euro was partially blamed for yesterdays stock market sell-off.
Outside of Greece and the dollar, most
of investors attention is on the Fed and
when the central bank plans to start
raising rates for the first time in almost
a decade. Investors and strategists are
split on when the central bank will
move, with some thinking it could be
as early as September and most looking
at early 2016.
Market strategists argue that until the
market has some more clarity from the
Fed or from economic data, stocks are
unlikely to post solid gains. There was
IRS believes identity thieves from Russia

By Stephen Ohlemacher
WASHINGTON IRS investigators

believe the identity thieves who stole
the personal tax information of more
than 100,000 taxpayers from an IRS
website are part of a sophisticated
criminal operation based in Russia,
two officials told the Associated Press.
The information was stolen as part
of an elaborate scheme to claim fraudulent tax refunds, IRS Commissioner
John Koskinen told reporters.
Koskinen declined to say where the
crime originated.
But two officials briefed on the matter said Wednesday the IRS believes
the criminals were in Russia, based on
computer data about who accessed the
information. The officials spoke on
condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to publicly discuss
the ongoing investigation.
Th e rev el at i o n h i g h l i g h t s t h e
global reach of many cyber criminals. And its not the first time the
IRS has been targeted by identity
thieves based overseas.

In 2012, the IRS sent a total of 655
tax refunds to a single address in
Lithuania, and 343 refunds went to a
lone address in Shanghai, according to
a report by the agencys inspector general. The IRS has since added safeguards to prevent similar schemes, but
the criminals are innovating as well.
The information was taken from an
IRS website called Get Transcript,
where taxpayers can get tax returns and
other tax filings from previous years.
In order to access the information, the
thieves cleared a security screen that
required detailed knowledge about each
taxpayer, including their Social
Security number, date of birth, tax filing status and street address.
The IRS believes the criminals originally obtained this information from
other sources. They were accessing the
IRS website to get even more information about the taxpayers, which would
help them claim fraudulent tax refunds
in the future, Koskinen said.
Were confident that these are not
amateurs, Koskinen said. These actu-
ally are organized crime syndicates

that not only we but everybody in the
financial industry are dealing with.
Congress is demanding answers
about how identity thieves were able
to steal the information.
The Senate Finance Committee has
scheduled a hearing for Tuesday.
Koskinen and J. Russell George, the
Treasury inspector general for tax
administration, are scheduled to testify.
When the federal government fails
to protect private and confidential taxpayer information, Congress must
act, said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah,
chairman of the Finance Committee.
Taxpayers deserve to know what happened at the IRS regarding the data
theft, and this hearing will be the first
step of many that the committee takes
to determine what happened and how
the government can prevent such
attacks from happening again.
The IRS said it is notifying taxpayers whose information was accessed.
The IRS is providing them with credit
monitoring services.
Exxon shareholders to vote on climate change, fracking

By David Koeing
DALLAS Shareholders of big oil

companies overwhelmingly rejected
several environmental resolutions
including proposals to put climatechange experts on their boards and set
goals for greenhouse-gas emissions.
The votes at meetings of Exxon
Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. shareholders on Wednesday were expected.
Some of the ideas had lost badly at previous annual meetings.
Lower prices for crude have cut into
the oil giants profits. At the Exxon
Mobil meeting in Dallas, CEO Rex
Tillerson said the company is positioned to withstand ups and down in oil
prices and give shareholders a good
return on their money.
Tillerson has said that said that oil
prices will remain low over the next
two years because of large global supplies and weak economic growth.
The company is adjusting by cutting
costs. Exxon has completed more than

a dozen major projects in the past three
years and expects an equal number to
begin production through 2017.
Exxon plans to cut capital spending as
those projects are completed from
$38.5 billion last year to $34 billion
this year and less in 2016 and 2017.
Shareholders rejected a proposal by
an organization of Catholic priests in
Milwaukee to put a climate-change
expert on the board. The Exxon board
opposed the resolution, saying several
board members have engineering and
scientific backgrounds and can handle
climate issues, and it gained only 21
percent support. The outcome was the
same at the Chevron meeting.
Michael Crosby, sponsor of the resolution at the Exxon meeting, said the
company is fixated on oil and gas and
isnt paying enough attention to
renewable energy and climate change.
This company has to be making
plans for the future, he said. Lets get
an expert on the board to deal with a
critical question.
Others proposed that Exxon Mobil
and Chevron set goals for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions from its
products, such as gasoline, but those
got less than 10 percent support.
Vermont state treasurer Beth Pearce
said institutional investors are growing more concerned about the topic,
and Exxon managements strategy for
diversifying its production beyond oil
and gas has been wholly inadequate.
Measures calling for reports on the
impact of hydraulic-fracturing drew 25
percent support at Exxon and 27 percent at Chevron.
On climate change, Exxon CEO
Tillerson said that models predicting
the effects of global warming arent
very good and that it would be very
hard for the world to meet aggressive
emission-reduction targets. He said
technology can help deal with rising
sea levels or changing weather patterns that may or may not be induced
by climate change.
no major economic data on Wednesday

to move the market one way or another.
Its an old but true expression: The
market likes certainty. Until we get that
from the Fed, stocks are unlikely to
make any headway, said David
Lefkowitz, a senior equity strategist at
UBS.
In individual stocks, tobacco companies Lorillard and Reynolds American
rose after the Federal Trade Commission
gave its tacit approval to the companies $27.4 billion merger. Lorillard,
maker of Newport cigarettes, was up 70
cents, or 1 percent, to $72.82.
Reynolds American, which makes
Camel cigarettes, was up $1.70, or 2.3
percent, to $77.13.
Michael Kors Holdings sank $14.66,
or 24 percent, to $45.93. The handbag
and accessories maker posted a drop in
year-over-year sales and predicted sales
would be well short of analysts estimates. And jewelry maker Tiffany & Co.
rose $9.01, or 11 percent, to $94.54
after its quarterly results topped analysts expectations, despite a stronger
dollar.

NEW YORK TV watchers are going online, and cable

Suddenlink, which has 1.1 million TV subscribers, is the
latest to hook up with Hulu, adding the service to its TiVo

There has been a string of cable company partnerships
with Hulu and Netflix announced over the past year, primarily with smaller providers. The benefit of these deals for consumers is that they make it easier to watch online video in
the living room, on your TV. Services like Hulu get a marketing boost and a way to add new subscribers. The cable
companies have a chance to talk you into upgrading to
faster, more expensive broadband speeds and keep you
watching online video competitors on their cable box rather

off sweep of Milwaukee
Monarchs rule Knights in CCS softball semifinals

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN JOSE Death by a million cuts.

Thats how the second-seeded Mitty softball
team beat No. 3 Hillsdale in the semifinals
of the Central Coast Section Division II
tournament at P.A.L. Stadium in San Jose
Wednesday evening.
The Monarchs scored 11 runs on nine hits
all singles in a nightmare of a second
inning for the Knights.
That would be all Mitty would need as the

Monarchs advanced to another CCS championship game with an 11-1, five-inning
victory over Hillsdale (20-9).
Tough inning there, said Hillsdale
coach Randy Metheany, in the understatement of the season. You cant get behind
like that. [Mitty is] a good team. Its tough.
Its hard to lose.
Hillsdale scratched out a run in the top of
the third when Sharona Mataele led off the
inning getting hit by a pitch. She went to
second on a wild pitch and took third on a

groundout. Caitlin Chan was hit by a pitch
to put runners on the corners and bring up
leadoff hitter Megan Wells. Well hit a slow
roller toward short and the only play the
Mitty shortstop had was to force out Chan
at second, with Mataele coming in to score.
Making the loss even harder to swallow
was the fact the Knights were not overwhelmed by Mitty pitcher Desiree
Severance, who finished with just three
strikeouts. Hillsdale did a good job of put-
ting the ball in play, but the Mitty defense

was too stout.
We had faced her a couple years ago as a
freshman and hit her pretty good,
Metheany said. You have to go after that
girl. She wasnt dominant.
Severance doesnt have to be dominant,
however, when she has one of the most
potent offenses in the section. Mitty (26-3)
did not record an extra-base hit, but the

up section titles
got the win. Thats all I can ask for.

Carlmont leadoff hitter Julian Billot
recorded the only hit of the game for the
Scots. The Wildcats banged out seven hits
and showed why they are the top seed with
some loud contact. With seven hits on the
game, Los Gatos is now hitting .317 as a
team this season.
Scots right-hander Joe Pratt took the loss,
f course, the Sacred Heart Prep

baseball team made it to its first
Central Coast Section championship game since 1989. Its been that
kind of school year for the schools athletic program.
In fact, its now becoming a common
sight to see Sacred Heart Prep team competing and winning section titles.
The previous two school years 201213 and 2013-14
have seen the
Gators win a combined 10 CCS championships five
each season.
Theyve already
added four more this
school year with
football, boys and
girls water polo and
girls soccer all winning titles. In addition, the boys soccer team advanced to
the Division III title game, while the
boys basketball team qualified for the
Open Division.
Saturday, the baseball team will try for
the schools fifth CCS crown this school
year following a 1-0 win over Monterey
in the Division III semifinals Tuesday
behind a four-hit gem from Will
Johnston. It was the second game this
tournament the Gators pulled out a 1-0
win.
Weve had a pretty good run these last
three, four years, said Frank Rodriguez,
assistant principal of athletics. [Were]
proud of those accomplishments.
There have also been a number of firsts
for SHP this year. The football team won
its first-ever Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division crown and Open Division
title, going a perfect 13-0.
The boys basketball team, which went
a perfect 14-0 in West Bay Athletic
League, qualified for the Open Division
for the first time. The Gators proceeded to
win their first Open Division game
against Riordan, before losing in the
semifinals and the third-place game.

Scots stuffed by Los Gatos

SAN JOSE Carlmonts run through the

Central Coast Section Open Division bracket
came to an end Wednesday night as the No. 4seed Scots (24-8) fell 3-0 to No. 1 Los Gatos

Los Gatos junior Hunter Bigge dominated
on the mound, firing a one-hit shutout to send

With the help of a fourth-inning double

Warriors hold off Houston, advance to NBA Finals

By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND After a generation of wishing

and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have
finally arrived on basketballs biggest stage
again.
Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight
rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and
the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the
first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory
over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
Why not us? Curry said to a roaring, gold-
en-yellow shirt wearing

crowd after the Warriors
received the Western
Conference trophy from
Alvin Attles, the coach of
their last championship
team in 1975.
The Warriors shook off a
slow start and sweated out a
Steph Curry shaky finish in Game 5 to
close out the Rockets and
set up a matchup with LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4.
It was hardly the prettiest performance but

one theyll savor nonetheless.
Yellow streams and confetti fell from the
rafters when the final buzzer sounded. The
Warriors shared hugs and handshakes, and the
crowd chanted M-V-P! for Curry, who relished
the moment on the court with his 2-year-old
daughter, Riley.
We deserve to celebrate tonight, but weve
still got unfinished business and its a long
time coming for the Bay Area, Warriors guard
Klay Thompson said.
All five Rockets starters scored at least 10
points, with Dwight Howard leading the way

with 18 points and 16 rebounds. But MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale.
Harden had a playoff-record 13 turnovers and
scored 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Tried to do a little bit too much and turned
the ball over and gave them easy baskets in
transition, Harden said. This isnt where we
wanted to end at. Its a really good season for
us. Next year we want to be better, and we will.

U.S. FIFA case: $150M in bribes, dozen schemes

NEW YORK U.S. prosecutors accused

the leaders of soccer federations of tarnishing
the sport for nearly a quarter century by taking $150 million in bribes and payoffs, laying out a sweeping corruption case that
hinges on the testimony of insiders, including some who have agreed to cooperate in
plea deals.
In announcing the racketeering conspiracy
and other charges Wednesday against 14
defendants nine current and former officials with global soccer governing body
FIFA, four sports marketing executives and
an accused intermediary prosecutors also
revealed four others had pleaded guilty in
secret proceedings dating to July 2013. Its
believed some or all are cooperating in the
investigation.
The fact that some guilty pleas came
almost two years ago speaks to how long
authorities have been gathering evidence,
likely some of it from those defendants, said
Alfredo F. Mendez, a former federal prosecutor who now is a white-collar criminal
defense lawyer.
A long time between a first round of pleas
and their disclosure is a signal that cooperation is going on, Mendez said.
Prosecutors sealed the guilty pleas so they
wouldnt flag that there was investigation
going on, said Timothy Heaphy, another
former federal prosecutor and defense attorney. That happens all the time in organized
crime cases, whether white-collar or bluecollar.
Also telling is the extent of the allegations
prosecutors have unveiled the indictment
runs 161 pages indicating theyre confident they have voluminous evidence, experts
said.
Heaphy said such detail sends a message to
REUTERS
FBI agents carry boxes from the offices of CONCACAF, the soccer federation that governs
North America, Central America and the Caribbean, in Miami Beach, Florida Wednesday. Seven
of the most powerful figures in global soccer faced extradition to the United States on
corruption charges after being arrested on Wednesday in Switzerland, where authorities also
announced a criminal investigation into the awarding of the next two World Cups.
defendants: They know what we did. They
have good information. That could be incentive to plead guilty and cooperate.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch
announced the charges at a news conference
packed with foreign journalists. The charges
were filed by the U.S. attorneys office in
Brooklyn, which she ran before becoming a
cabinet member.
The indicted soccer officials were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest
and to protect the integrity of the game,

Lynch said. Instead, they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves.
With soccer officials gathered in Zurich to
elect a new president, seven of the U.S.
defendants were arrested there. Six of those
arrested were opposing extradition to the
U.S., the Swiss justice ministry said, without
naming them.
Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner
turned himself over to police in Trinidad, and

he was later released on $2.5 million bail.
Warner did not enter a plea, but he denied any
wrongdoing.
The others had yet to be arrested.
Meanwhile, Warners two sons, Daryan and
Daryll, entered secret guilty pleas in 2013.
The indictment points to their possible
cooperation by detailing how, in a scheme to
fix a vote awarding the 2010 World Cup tournament to South Africa, Warner directed an
unnamed co-conspirator identified only as
a member of Warners family to fly to
Paris to accept a briefcase containing bundles of U.S. currency in $10,000 stacks in a
hotel room from a high-ranking South
African bid committee official.
Given the allegations that weve seen just
in the papers, there seems little doubt who
the payments went to and for what reason,
said Andy Spalding, an international criminal law expert at the University of Richmond
School of Law.
Prosecutors outlined 12 different schemes
dating to 1991, most involving marketing
and media rights to various events.
FIFA said it was cooperating with investigators and that it had already taken steps to
root out corruption.
While the case has an international scope,
prosecutors have noted that one entity at the
heart of the case is headquartered in Miami,
theyve said some illegal transactions passed
through U.S. banks, and some defendants are
U.S. citizens.
When you look at all of that, I think the
government will argue that they have a reason for involvement in this, Mendez said.
The Department of Justice is trying to
send a message to FIFA: If youre not going
to police yourself, were going to police you,
if youre doing this kind of business in the
United States.

NFL lineman Ray McDonald arrested again
SANTA CLARA NFL lineman Ray McDonald has
been arrested for the second time this week.
The Santa Clara Police Department said the former San
Francisco 49ers defensive end was arrested Wednesday for
violating a restraining order by being at a residence in
Santa Clara.
The restraining order was issued after a domestic violence incident Monday in Santa Clara in which the 6foot-3, 290-pound McDonald allegedly broke down a
bedroom door to get to his former fiancee and their
infant.
McDonald was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment, but was free on bail. The
Chicago Bears released the lineman hours after that
arrest.
On Wednesday, Santa Clara detectives found McDonald
him at a Togos Sandwiches in Santa Clara, where they
arrested him without incident. He was booked into Santa
Clara County Jail on $5,000 bail.
McDonalds attorney, Steve DeFilippis, told the San
Jose Mercury News that neither he nor his client had been
notified about the restraining order.
DeFilippis told the newspaper McDonald had gone to
the residence Wednesday to meet with a defense investigator, who had spoken to the woman who lived there.
She told him she would not be home.

Stanford women win NCAA golf title

BRADENTON, Fla. Mariah

Stackhouse rallied to beat Hayley Davis in
19 holes to give Stanford its first NCAA
womens golf title, 3-2 over Baylor on
Wednesday in the match-play final.
Stackhouse, a junior from Riverdale,
Georgia, won when Davis 3-foot par putt
missed to the right on the par-4 10th hole
at The Concession Golf Club.
My heart is hurting right now for
Hayley, Baylor coach Jay Goble said.
SCOTS
Continued from page 11
dropping his record to 8-3 on the year.
The senior paced Carlmont in wins. He
soldiered through five innings
Wednesday, yielding single runs in the
second, third and fifth.
I felt good, Pratt said. I felt like I
had good stuff. My body felt good and
everything. I just missed a couple
spots. They got hits. Theyre a good
hitting team. Got to give credit to
them.
Los Gatos got on the board in the second inning. Cleanup hitter Aiden Finch
led off with a clean single to center.
Jake Holton followed with a single and
Harry Hibberd bunted both runners over.
Doug Neubauer followed with an RBI
groundout to shortstop to score Finch,
giving Los Gatos a 1-0 lead.
The Wildcats added a run in the third.
Grant Rosenbaum ran the count full
before singling through the middle to
open the frame. With one out, Ryan
Gault threw a single into center to put
runners at first and second. Then Bigge
came up big with a double into the leftfield corner to score Rosenbaum, giving the Wildcats a 2-0 lead.
Pratt did well to pitch out of the one-
She has been the heart and soul of our

team and she has singlehandedly elevated
our team to this position. My heart is really hurting for her right now. This group is
amazing and they are winners and we are
going to see we did a lot of great things
this year.
Two holes down after losing the par-4
16th, Stackhouse won the par-5 17th with
a two-putt birdie and took the par-4 18th
with a 15-foot birdie putt.
I actually thought a lot about it last
night, Stackhouse said. It felt kind of
silly, but I envisioned some kind of crazy

finish with me having to hit huge shots. I
knew I was going to be down and I was
going to have to do something crazy to
come back.
Davis, a senior from England, birdied
the 16th, hitting a 134-yard shot from a
muddy lie in the left-side hazard to 8 feet.
It was tough because the thing was my
feet were sinking a little bit, so I was a little bit worried about that, Davis said.
But then, just the way it went, it was perfect.
out jam though, stranding runners at

second and third. But after the senior
right-hander retired the side in order in
the fourth, Los Gatos added another run
in the fifth.
Rosenbaum again started the frame
with a single. He advanced to second on
a throwing error; then Carlmont kicked
a sacrifice bunt attempt by Gault to put
runners at the corners. Bigge again produced a run, hitting a sacrifice fly to
right to cap the nights scoring.
Bigge did the rest, striking out five
while allowing just the one hit against
nothing wild.
He came right after us and he held
nothing back, Carlmont shortstop
Aaron Pleschner said. He just pounded
the outside with his fastball and used his
offspeed when he needed to.
Pleschner had the best chance of generating a late rally when, with one out
in the seventh, he shot a hard grounder
to the left side that looked destined for
the outfield. But the Los Gatos third
baseman made an outstanding diving
stab and popped to his feet to gun down
Pleschner.
We were just trying to enjoy the
moment, Pleschner said of Carlmonts
attitude through the final inning.
There are 13 seniors, we all love each
other, weve all played with each other
for four years. I think we all just all
wanted to enjoy the moment, be togeth-
er and go out on a good note.

Pleschner got a glimpse of his future
in playing his first game ever at
Municipal Stadium. The senior hopes to
play many more games there as he is
committed to San Jose State next season.
Coming to a place with great grass
and a great infield, nothing is better
than that, Pleschner said.
For the Scots, it was a historic season
in more ways than one. The team won
its third consecutive Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division championship. In
the Scots second consecutive CCS
Open Division berth, the two wins
early in the bracket were the Scots first
two victories in Open Division play
since the inception of the baseball division last season.
Previous teams have been here and
even won the CCS at the Division II
level, but with this new Open Division,
this is the farthest any team has gone,
Vallero said.
The highlight of Carlmonts postseason run was last Saturdays 2-1 victory
over St. Francis CCC-Watsonville in
13-innnings.
We created some memories along the
way and no one will ever be able to take
those from us, Vallero said. That 13inning game, that bus ride is going to
be a memory for these kids forever.

his frightening fall in Game 4 that left him
with a bruised head and right side. The MVP
wore a protective yellow sleeve on his right
arm, which he shed in the third quarter after
shooting 4 for 12 and the Warriors clinging to
a 52-46 halftime lead.
Things got tougher on Curry and the
Warriors when backcourt mate Thompson
faked a shot that drew Trevor Ariza in the air
early in the fourth quarter. Thompson
absorbed Arizas knee to the side of his head,
sending him to the floor.

The hype has already started for two of the

most popular and entertaining players in the
world to take center stage for the championship, and it has a week to build even more
before starting at Oracle Arena.
The conference title is the biggest accomplishment yet in what has been a rapid rise for
a Warriors team that is beloved in the basketball-united Bay Area despite decades of futility.
Warriors co-owners Joe Lacob and Peter
Guber, sitting courtside next to rapper Kanye
West, have turned the franchise into a contender since they bought the team in 2010.
General manager Bob Myers, the NBA
Executive of the Year, has constructed a talented roster around Curry that has exceeded all
expectations. And first-year coach Kerr blend-
Thompson, who finished with 20 points,

lay on the ground for a minute before walking
to the locker room. He came back to the bench
after receiving stitches on his right ear.
The Warriors said he couldve returned, but
they never needed him. They started the fourth
on a 13-4 run and held off Houstons last-ditch
efforts on free throws.
Barnes highlighted the decisive spurt with a
dunk that gave Golden State an 87-72 lead
with 7:10 remaining. He flexed his muscles to
the sellout crowd of 19,596, which spent the
final quarter on its feet in anticipation of a celebration a generation in the works.
Now its LeBron vs. Curry.
King James vs. the Baby-Faced Assassin.
The four-time NBA MVP vs. the newly
crowned MVP.

I always think of Pat Rileys great quote
when youre coaching in the NBA, Theres
winning and theres misery. And hes right,
Kerr said. Its more than relief. Its joy. Our
players are feeling it. I know our fans are.
Jackson watched the celebration from the
ESPN table at center court, saying on the
broadcast he was proud.
The Warriors rolled to a franchise-record 67
wins in the regular season and had little trouble dispatching New Orleans, Memphis and
Houston in the playoffs. Now theyre in the
finals for the first time since winning the title
in 1975 behind Rick Barry and coach Attles,
who enjoyed the game sitting in his usual

Snapped pole impales Michigan
student near eye at track meet
DEXTER, Mich. A Michigan high school
athlete has received 40 stitches to his eye after
a vaulting pole snapped and became impaled
in his orbital bone during a track meet.
The Livingston Daily Press & Argus of
Howell reports that Alex Lindahl is recovering
Wednesday at home following surgery Tuesday
at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann
Arbor.
Lindahl was hurt Tuesday afternoon when
his pole broke during a meet in Dexter, west of
Detroit.
KNIGHTS
Monarchs bat control was beyond reproach
as the Monarch poked, blooped and slapped
single after single after single in that second inning.
The Hillsdale defense opened the door to
the big inning by committing an error on a
Severance routine grounder to second base.
Hillsdales Kara Ronberg made the play easily, but could not get a handle on the ball
and Severance beat her Ronbergs throw to
first. What followed was deja vu over and
over again. Maddie Kim singled to send a
courtesy runner to third before Megan
Nordin slapped a single past the drawn-in
infield to drive in the first two runs.
Lauren Lopez followed with a third consecutive single and McKinsey Thorp
walked. Haley Wymbs followed with a
bloop RBI single over the drawn-in infield
and Rebecca Ortiz came up with a RBI infield
hit.
Following a strikeout for the first out of
the inning, Danielle Bowers singled home
the seventh run of the inning, which
brought up Severance for the second time in
the frame. She drove in a pair of runs with a

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have
signed free-agent linebacker Horace Miller
and re-signed wide receiver Milton Williams
III.
The Raiders waived cornerback Travell
Dixon and receiver Austin Hill on
Wednesday to make room on the roster.
Miller spent training camp last summer
with Seattle and then was signed in October
to Carolinas practice squad. He spent one
week on Carolinas active roster in
December, but did not play in a game. He
was waived by the Panthers in April.
Williams rejoins the Raiders after a brief

single and Kim was hit by a pitch. Another
error loaded the bases and Lopez drove in a
run with a swinging bunt single. Thorp
reached on an fielders choice, with Kim
being forced out at the plate, but Wymbs
came up for her second at-bat of the inning
and drove in a pair with the Monarchs ninth
single of the inning. Ortiz was hit by a
pitch before a flyout to left, mercifully,
ended the inning.
Mac (Hillsdale catcher Mackenzie
Driscoll) said Eryn (pitcher Eryn McCoy)
was getting squeezed (by the home plate
umpire), Metheany said. Eryn has 180
strikeouts. You cant squeeze her in a CCS
game.
McCoy said it was frustrating to get beat
by so many singles, but she had to just refocus on the next pitch.
It was pretty frustrating, McCoy said.
But Im used to moving on. Its something
youve got to overcome.
When the Knights finally got back to the
dugout, they immediately started getting
hyped for their turn at-bat. Despite being
down 11-0 after just two innings, there was
no quit in the dugout as the players started
their chants as soon as the first batter
stepped into the batters box.
Even though we were all frustrated, we
were still in the game (mentally), McCoy
said. We werent going to bow down.
Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula
THE DAILY JOURNAL
LOUNGE
They went 1-1 in Nor Cal play and finished
the season with a gaudy 24-5 record.
The girls soccer team ran roughshod over
the competition this season. It was 1-2 after
the first three games before going the final
19 games of the season unbeaten. There was a
0-0 tie with St. Ignatius in early January, but
the Gators finished the season by winning
their final 15 games including a 3-0 mark
on their way to the Division III title.
And the Gators didnt merely win, they
punished the opposition. In 22 games, they
outscored their opponents 98-15 and, in
three CCS games, posted wins of 10-0, 5-1
and 6-0.
Making these accomplishments even more
amazing is the fact that Sacred Heart Prep,
even among small schools, is one of the
smallest around. There are only 600 students
in the school, an average of about 150 students per grade. To put it in perspective, there
are only 77 boys in the class of 2015.
For boys sports, especially, the need for
versatile athletes has been key to the programs success and there may be none better
than junior Andrew Daschbach, who is a
throwback to the day of the three-sport high
school star. He certainly looks the part, at 63, 210 pounds with model good looks.
He definitely has the game, however, to go
with the physique. Everyone says his best
sport is baseball and he is being heavily pursued by Stanford. But he is also a beast of a
tight end on the gridiron, so much so he is
drawing interest from Ivy League schools.
And on the basketball court, he can bang
with the biggest and best of them.
If he pursued it, he probably could have
earned a scholarship in lacrosse. He was
among the best on the Peninsula during his
sole season his freshman year.
Mitch Martella may not be the biggest guy
around or command multiple big-time scholarship offers, but pound-for-pound, there may
not be a better all-around athlete. He was fearless on the football field and had the propensity for the big play as a wide receiver. He
calmly ran the offense as the Gators point
guard on the basketball team and is a tablesetter offensively and leader on the diamond.
Its no coincidence that a lot of the same
members of the Gators Open Division-champion football team are also key pieces for the
baseball team or that a number were also part
of the basketball team. Sacred Heart Prep has
been extremely fortunate to have such great
athletes all on campus at the same time.
The numbers say between 70 and 75 percent (of students) are student-athletes at least
one year (during high school). Of those, 45

to 50 percent play at least two sports, said
Rodriguez, who handles the day-to-to operations of the high schools athletic department.
Despite all the athletic success, Rodriguez
and the school administration believe athletics is only part of the high school equation.
We never sit down here and say, All right,
were going to win this league championship
and this many section championships. All
we really hope to do is make sure the kids are
competing, Rodriguez said. What we strive
for is the value-based education were trying
to provide here. We work very diligently to
make sure sure [athletics] is part of a students
experience, but not the full experience.
To that end, dont expect to see the Gators
involved in any kind of recruiting scandals
anytime soon. Rodriguez was adamant that
when he receives calls from prospective
transfers, he instructs the parents to contact
the admissions office. He wants nothing to
do with being accused of weighting the system to get a highly regarded athlete into the
fold. He has told his coaches staffs to do the
same.
That wont fly here, Rodriguez said.
This is still a facility the Sisters of the
Sacred Heart founded in 1898. That keeps you
grounded. They keep you on the right track.
Rodriguez credits the departments rise to
the skilled and loyal head coaches and their
staffs. Football coach Pete Lavorato has been
with the program for 13 years. Boys basketball coach Tony Martinelli 10 years. Water
polo coaches Brian Kreutzkamp (boys) and
Jon Burke (girls) are among the best in the
state and have sustained excellence for years.
I think people know what theyre getting
when they come to Sacred Heart Prep,
Rodriguez said. All those [coaches] have
been here (for a while). I think that says
something about the culture we have in the
community.
We rarely talk about this kind of success.
Its more (about) the character development,
the discipline, the work the kids put in to try
and achieve something together. These are
special kids who believe in themselves.
These kids are now excited about competing
with the best and its taken some time to get
there.
Its been a lot of fun. There has been a lot
of pride in what these kids have accomplished in this community.

Five tips for conserving water at home

By Solvej Schou
CHECK FOR TOILET LEAKS
Growing up in California, I always heard

the flush-saving phrase, if its yellow, let it
mellow.
While most toilets these days are low-flow
and use 1.6 gallons of water per flush, according to Ward, a toilet leak can waste about 200
gallons of water a day. A DAY. These leaks are
huge and silent.
One way to identify a leak, Ward said, is to
do a dye test. Drop a food-color tablet from a
plumbing or other store into the toilet tank.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes without flushing, and
then look in the toilet bowl.
If theres color in it, that means theres a
leak from the tank into the bowl, and you
need to replace the tanks rubber flapper that
lets water through. Rubber flappers can warp
or erode over time.
PASADENA Here in dry, dusty Southern

California, dealing with the worst drought in
state history has become the new normal.
In my home, weve cut back on showers and
watering the lawn.
Banners declaring Be Water Wise! stretch
above streets. Gov. Jerry Brown recently
ordered mandatory restrictions to cut urban
water use across California by 25 percent.
Other western states, including Oregon,
Nevada and Arizona, also have been plunged
into extreme drought conditions.
For those wondering how to conserve water
and lower water bills, here are five simple
ways to slash home water use:
UNDERSTAND YOUR WATER METER

Madeline Ward, acting water conservation
coordinator in Santa Barbara, suggests
becoming familiar with your water meter,
which is often located outside the house in a
metal or concrete box.
Reading your meter which looks similar
to an odometer in a car is not only a way to
gauge water usage; it also can tell you if you
have a leak.
When youre leaving for work in the
morning, read it, said Ward. When you
come back from work, read it again. It its
moved, there could be a leak.
Weekly meter readings are helpful for comparing usage week-to-week, added Forrest
Arthur, general manager of a residential community in Carmel, the Santa Lucia Preserve,
which relies on its own water supply. It cut 40
million gallons of water last year.
When washing dishes, make sure the water isnt running when youre not using it. If you wash
dishes by hand, dunk them in a basin with soapy water so youre just using water for rinsing.
REPLACE YOUR GRASS LAWN

WITH DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS
Landscaping and turf watering generally
account for a hefty 60 percent to 80 percent
of home water use, according to Arthur and
Ward, so one way to conserve water is to literally rip out your lawn.
As an incentive, water districts across
many states, including California and
Arizona, have been offering conservation
rebates to residents who remove their lawn
grass and replace it with drought-tolerant
native plants, mulch, bark, gravel and dripirrigation systems, which target plants at
their roots.
I have definitely seen an uptick in residen-
tial clients just in the last year, with all of

them contacting me to take advantage of
rebates, said Lupe Perez, owner of the
Pasadena-based Green Splendor Landscaping.
MONITOR SPRINKLERS AND

DONT WATER DURING THE DAY
If you do keep your lawn, monitor automatic sprinklers closely to check for leaks or
runoff, and make sure theyre not on when it
rains or during the day. Water is more likely
to evaporate when the sun is at full strength.
Watering by hand is best, Ward added.
You should water either when the sun goes
down or before it comes up, said Arthur. It
really makes a big difference.
USE LESS WATER WASHING

DISHES, CLOTHES, YOURSELF
No more long, hot showers or running
water while flossing your teeth.
Instead, take five-minute showers.
Showers usually use 1.5 to 2 gallons of water
per minute, according to Ward. Turn off the
water when youre lathering and shaving, and
also at the sink when you lather your hands.
For baths, dont fill them more than
halfway.
As for washing dishes, make sure the water
isnt running when youre not using it. If you
wash dishes by hand, dunk them in a basin
with soapy water so youre just using extra
water for rinsing. For dishwashers, always
run a full load versus a half load, Ward said.
Likewise, in washing machines, always run
full loads of laundry.

BILL
Mateo, authored a bill that would require
state health and environmental officials to
study whether the material is correlated to
cancer and require public agencies consider
alternatives.
Despite amending his legislation to
address opponents concerns, Hills legislation could die Thursday if the Senates
Appropriations Committee fails to vote it
out of suspense.
Now, Hill is receiving some unanticipated
advocacy from stars like Jennifer Beals,
Laura Dern, Sheryl Crow, Ted Danson, Mary
Steenburgen and Courteney Cox.
Tires in many states are considered hazardous waste and must be properly disposed
of. But somehow, magically, when theyre
crumpled up, they can be put on a childrens
playfield and they can play on it? That
seemed like a big disconnect to me, said
Beals, who is best known for starring in the
movie Flashdance.
Hill said he was grateful for the support as
his legislation nears a critical tipping
point.
I think its wonderful, theyre parents
as well and theyve experienced it. I
appreciate their concern, their interest
and certainly they have the ability to
HOUSING
approve on Tuesday, May 26, the final environmental impact report and design review
of 268 apartments slated to be spread across
two buildings, and 22 condominiums split
between four townhouse buildings on 5.4
acres of property just south of Broadway, at
Carolan Avenue and Rollins Road.
The project will go before the City
Council for approval in June. If approved, it
will bring to an end more than a years
worth of planning and community outreach
by the developer SummerHill Housing
Group.
Commissioners and community members
alike expressed support for the project during the meeting.
I quite like the development. Its the kind
of smart development that needs to take
place in the Bay Area, said Planning
Commissioner Will Loftis.
Commissioner Richard Terrones echoed
those sentiments.
I think there are a lot of good things in
regards to this project, he said.
Terrones cited proximity to public trans-
SUBURBAN LIVING
highlight the issue, Hill said.
Hill originally targeted implementing a
two-year moratorium on construction of
recycled crumb rubber fields but, after pushback from the tire industry and labor
unions, opted to tackle the lack of research.
Around the country and in California,
theres a movement to replace natural turf
with artificial turf and there has been significant anecdotal evidence of adolescents and
young people in a disproportionate number,
acquiring cancers, unusual cancers for that
age group. And the commonality has been
theyve played on artificial turf with crumb
rubber, Hill said. There has not been a
comprehensive human health impact study
of frequent users of turf fields. This bill
would make California the first in the
nation to conduct such a study and its reasonable for us to do this to protect our children from what could be an unknown hazard.
With the Los Angeles Unified School
District and New York Citys Department of
Parks and Recreation already banning the
use of recycled tires for turf, Hills supporters say its only fitting for California to set
an example.
As we watch our own children and grandchildren being required to play on these surfaces in playgrounds and public and private
schools throughout this state, we have
become more and more alarmed. The list of
carcinogens found in these fields alone
should give us pause enough. As our concern
portation as one of the prime benefits of the
development, as it sits within a mile of
both the citys Caltrain stations.
Noveed Safipour, a San Mateo resident
who works in Burlingame, also praised the
development for offering new housing in a
county that is suffering from a severe shortage of available living quarters.
We definitely need more housing in the
region as a whole and Burlingame is one
place that can contribute, he said.
Safipour though did implore the commission to consider increasing the amount of
affordably priced units included in the project, which would grant greater access to
local residents who wish to live in the
development.
SummerHill has set aside 29 units for
those earning what is considered moderate
income, which according to last years calculation in San Mateo County equates to
$86,500 for a single-person household, or
$123,600 for a family of four.
Elaine Breeze, vice president of development at SummerHill, estimated the cost of a
one-bedroom apartment in the complex
would likely cost about $2,100.
There are a range of apartment sizes
included in the project, including 149 onebedroom units, 111 two-bedroom units and
eight three-bedroom units.

grows and bans are introduced throughout
the country, we hope that California will
continue to be one of the leaders in the
charge to consider the environmental
impact and the protection of human, and
particularly our childrens, health as a top
priority, Dern wrote in a letter to Hill
signed by Crow,
Dern,
Danson,
Steenburgen and Cox.
Should enough legislators vote to agree,
California would conduct the nations first
human health impact study that includes
biomonitoring frequent turf field users.
Although the fields were once touted as a
great way to recycle used tires, the study
would challenge that notion by including a
comparison of crumb rubber and alternate
infill materials such as coconut fibers, rice
husks, sand, cork and used shoes.
Faced with lobbying efforts from industry
representatives, Hill said his legislation
finds a suitable middle ground by awarding
grants to encourage crumb rubber businesses to find alternate markets for their products.
Beals said while shes a proponent of
recycling tires, exposing children to the
more than 60 chemicals found in the rubber
isnt a valid solution.
The condominium portion is proposed to
have six two-bedroom units, eight threebedroom units and eight units with at least
three bedrooms and another auxiliary room.
The developer has also offered to give
more than $2 million to the city of
Burlingame, as well as the local high
school and elementary school districts, to
offset the cost of additional residents and
students impacting local public services.
The environmental impact report, which
was unanimously approved by the commission, states there are sufficient mitigations
in the development proposal to offset
potential impact of noise, air quality, biological or cultural resources, hazardous
materials and geology on the surrounding
region.
Commissioners did not offer universal
praise for the project though, as some
expressed concerns regarding the size and
design of the project.
Commission Chair Jeff DeMartini said he
believed the proposed 61-foot apartment
buildings are too tall, and advocated for a
top floor to be removed from the project.
I think the project is beautiful. I think it
would be even more beautiful as a four-story
project, he said.
As well, Commissioner Michael Gaul
took issue with an 8-foot wall which has
We dont need to use the tire crumbs and

its not really recycled, its repurposed,
Beals said. And its clear that whats good
for a tire, is not good for children. So its an
inappropriate repurposing.
Senate Bill 47 would also increase public
transparency by requiring local governments as well as private or public schools
to hold a public hearing before installing
synthetic turf while also considering alternative infill materials.
Beals said shes seen an increase in the
number of children who suffer asthma
attacks while playing on the questionable
fields and noted the lack of regulations has
put parents on the defense.
It puts parents at odds with the
[schools] administration that are often
looking at their bottom line or looking at
issues of precedence. Its an unnecessary
battle thats easily fixable, Beals said.
Yet Thursday could prove difficult as the
state Senates committee will be taking
swift votes on whether to kill or allow hundreds of bills to proceed. If SB 47 is stopped
in its tracks, Hill said he would be ready to
pitch his efforts again next season.
I think its too important to ignore,
Hill said. The federal government, they
chose not to do this study, they intentionally left it for the states to do. And theres no
better state to do it then California.

been proposed to be built around the circumference of the property, which many neighbors have supported to provide privacy
from the development.
Gaul said he felt the wall segregated the
housing project from the rest of the neighborhood.
I see this 8-foot wall as a separation, and
I dont like that, he said. This is working
in the wrong direction.
Terrones said he would support the wall
being built, so long as local residents are in
favor of it.
If the neighbors want the wall, I feel
obligated to consider it, he said.
The commission approved allowing the
developer to work with neighborhood to
design a wall that was amenable to residents.
Ultimately, the commission praised how
the developer collaborated with the city and
community in planning the project, on the
way to its gaining approval.
I dont see much not to like about it,
frankly, said Loftis.
Commissioner Richard Sargent was
absent from the meeting.

New floral prints can

bring spring indoors
By Kim Cook
Avoid plant damage from rubbing by using some thick or soft material for tying.
Help plants grow up by

staking them properly
By Lee Reich
Grow up. Thats what I tell some of

my plants.
Upright plants, bathed in air, are
less apt to get fungal diseases, and
those bearing fruit tomatoes, for
example are less likely to have their
fruits attacked by slugs and turtles.
And of course, flowers that stand tall
stare boldly from the garden.
Some plants cry out to be staked,
while others are more ambivalent.
Delphiniums, lilies and larkspurs grow
upright all by themselves, but can be
buffeted down by wind or rain unless
staked. Not so a vine of tomato or
trumpet honeysuckle, either of which
is just as happy to crawl over the
ground as to climb a stake.
The stems of twining plants, such as
morning glories and moonflowers, and
ornamental and edible lablab and scarlet runner beans, flounder about looking for some support on which to pull
themselves up.
STAKEOUT
A plant stake should be unobtrusive
yet sturdy enough to do its job.
Do not be deceived by the puniness
of a tomato plant when you first set it
out in the garden. By July, growth will

be lusty enough to require the support
of something with at least as much
muscle as 2-by-2-inch lumber or 5/8inch metal pipe. In contrast, flower
stalks of delphinium arent weighted
down with heavy fruit and dont continue growing skyward all season, so
they can be staked with lengths of
half-inch bamboo.
Other suitable staking materials
include straight limbs cut from trees
or picked up from the ground.
Vigorous, upright stems on fruit
trees, called watersprouts, need to be
pruned off anyway; save them for
stakes. Other commercially available
staking includes green painted, metal
poles, some with bendable arms for
hugging stems, some that look like
bamboo, and metal stakes bent in spirals that can contain growing stems.
Match the stakes height to the
eventual height of the plant. Or rather,
to as high as you want to keep staking,
because a tomato or morning glory
vine typically grows higher by summers end than any stake you give it.
Give a spired plant, such as delphinium, a stake not quite as high as the
eventual plant height, so it will be less
obtrusive and not detract from the
flowery show.
Avoid root damage when putting a
stake in the ground. When an established perennial plant awakens for the
season and its new growth needs staking, push or pound the stake into the
ground a few inches away from the
crown of the plant. With annual plants,
pound or push the stake into the ground
before or when you set out your plants
(before the roots have spread). Sink the
stake sufficiently deep in the ground to
perform its job. A 2-by-2-inch wooden
stake for a tomato will eventually topple unless its base is buried at least 18
inches deep.
SUPPORT SERVICES
Most staked plants need to be tied to
the stakes. And thats the rub literally. Avoid plant damage from rubbing
by, first of all, using some thick or
soft material for tying. Strips ripped
from rags or soft, thick string are
good. Also, avoid plant damage by
first tying the string or rag strip firmly enough to the stake to prevent slippage, and then only loosely around the
plants stem.
Twining vines such as beans, morning glories and moonflowers need no
tying. But their stakes must be no
more than about 3/4 of an inch thick
so that the stems can wrap around
them.
Floral motifs pop up every spring in home-furnishing collections, and after a long winter theyre always a welcome
sight. But this year, there seem to be more of them than ever,
and they feel particularly fresh.
New York interior designer Elaine Griffin says it began a
few seasons back with a movement toward kinder, gentler silhouettes and patterns.
Design has been trending toward a subtle but high-impact
femininity, she says. It started with softer, more fluid
shapes in upholstery. Paler or more glamorous finishes for
case goods. Dressmaker-inspired details like pleated-ruffle
and grosgrain-trimmed throw pillows and draperies.
Theres no more feminine pattern than florals, and from
the runway to decorative fabrics and accessories, theyre
everywhere.
In the 1980s, floral chintz spread like marmalade across
the decor landscape as English country style took hold. It
was a formal, somewhat overwrought look with, says
Griffin, a bow and ribbon on everything that didnt move.
Chintz is back, but its a looser, more relaxed version. And
the cottage prints that in the past could be a little dowdy are
more lighthearted.
Also in the mix: bold, geometric flower motifs and ethnic
floral patterns.
Some vintage prints reinterpret florals through a midcentury lens for a fresh take on both styles. But youll also find
more painterly floral designs, with a wistful watercolor look.
The new florals can go just about anywhere, says Griffin.
For conservative spaces, coordinate complementary fabrics with the darkest hue in the floral, she says. For zippier, more modern rooms, bring out the brightest hues of the
pattern.
She advises making oversize floral patterns the star of the
room. Pair them with textured solids or subtle stripes, and
dont overdo it by adding a bunch of distracting prints.
Be mindful where you plant your flowers.
Avoid florals on big and long-lived upholstered pieces
like sofas, says Griffin. Theyre a better bet for armchairs,
ottomans and window treatments, which you can change
more easily if you tire of the pattern in a few years.

DATEBOOK
PURCHASE
The 90 percent positive figure ... is
simply a number the city is putting out
and is in no way scientific or proven,
Gattey wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.
Kingery wrote in an email:
Apparently the city is not looking
for a poll of the voters, they are pushing their agenda to raise taxes.
Many who have voiced opposition
to the purchase say they are doing so
because there is no clear price tag on
the investment and no clear plan on
what will be done with the property.
The City Council will decide by
August whether to put a bond measure
on this Novembers ballot to buy the
11.3-acre Black Mountain property,
7.3-acre Rollieri property and 4.9-acre
Vista Del Grande property located on
Alameda de las Pulgas between Madera
Avenue and Melendy Drive.
A bond measure needs a two-thirds
majority to pass.
Mayor Ron Collins acknowledged
Tuesday night that the council will
even consider the comments of residents made on Nextdoor.com in addition to relying on the results of surveys.
During Costellos report to the council on the outreach efforts related to
Black Mountain, not a single member
of the public spoke up either against or
for purchasing the property nor questioned the survey methods.
BIG LIFT
and the city of South San Francisco.
The other school districts will split
the rest of the more than $2 million to
offer similar services to students in the
northern region of the county, and
along the coast.
Currently, 43 percent of third-grade
students in the county are not reading
at grade level, which jumps to 65 percent of Latino, black and Pacific
Islander students, according to a report
from the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation.
A goal of the program is to ramp up
access to preschool, in hopes that will
improve literacy in students, because
studies show those who do not have
access to preschool are more likely to
enter kindergarten behind the rest of
the classmates, and will continue struggling to catch up.
County
Superintendent
Anne
Campbell said the grants will go to
closing the gap in reading comprehension among the countys youngest, and
most vulnerable, students.
Costello also made it clear that the

surveys so far have been informal and
not scientific. She plans to conduct a
scientific survey of San Carlos residents in July by phone and email.
It will be a statistical representation of San Carlos voters, she said.
City Manager Jeff Maltbie wrote in
an email that the desire to acquire
Black Mountain for a park started with
community members and their feelings
on the matter are of paramount importance to the council and staff.
Another open house of the property
is scheduled for June 6.
More than 1,000 residents support
the purchase, Maltbie said.
Informal surveys show that residents
would support a bond measure with a
tax rate of $20 or less per $100,000 of
assessed property value.
Currently, the Black Mountain property is on the market with an asking
price of about $18 million. The city is
prepared to negotiate with the other
two owners to purchase the remaining
property if the public approves a bond
measure.
Those who oppose the purchase say,
however, that the true cost to purchase
the land could approach $40 million.
A back of the envelope figure
(based on current average home sales
prices) would suggest that over 30
years the city wants about $9,000
from each homeowner (and there would
be no exemption for seniors). Many of
us feel this is excessive when we dont
know what we would be getting for
these dollars, Gattey wrote in the
email.
The city might, he wrote, come back

later with another bond measure proposal seeking significant dollars for
developing the property such that it
would contain the amenities that many
in the community would expect to see
i.e., a recreation center and pool,
additional fields, etc.
The city will not develop a master
plan for the properties, however, until
the land is actually purchased.
Part of the argument for the city to
purchase the parcels is to prevent the
potential development of up to 100
homes.
But Vicki Rolleri Baker, the former
owner of the 7.3-acre Rolleri property
that was sold in 2012, said the maximum number of homes that could be
built on her former property was 12 at
the most.
Currently there is only one burnedout home on the 4.9-acre Vista Del
Grande property and that the maximum
that could be built on the property is
five homes.
The maximum that could be built on
all three properties would be 24
homes, she wrote the Daily Journal in
an email.
So do you really think that a developer could build 100 homes? Is this
just a scare tactic to get the people of
San Carlos to go along with this? If
the city doesnt even know what they
want to do with it, then why are they
buying it? We sold our land in
December 2012 to developers. Do you
see anything happening there? What
does that tell you? she wrote in the
email.
We have what it takes to get this job

done, she said.
The event celebrated more than two
years worth of fundraising, which has
collected $28 million to benefit
schools across San Mateo County, a
majority of which came from an initial
contribution of $10 million from the
countys Measure A sales tax fund.
The Silicon Valley Community
Foundation, which has also taken the
lead on fundraising, will accept another $7.5 million from the Social
Innovation Fund to continue the work
established in the initial round of funding.
The Social Innovation Fund is a subsidiary of the National and Community
Service, a federal agency that promotes
community service through programs
such as AmeriCorps.
There is a greater opportunity to lock
down another $9 million in funding for
the fourth and fifth year of the program, pending congressional appropriations and evidence of the initiatives success.
Ultimately, through the Big Lift, the
organization hopes to raise more than
$50 million.
Other program initiatives include
trying to cut down on student chronic
absenteeism, increasing access to summer school programs and improving

education for students in their homes.
Pending the success of the school
districts involved in the pilot program,
the collaborative effort is hoping to
eventually expand the program across
San Mateo County, to improve access
for all students to preschool.
The Big Lift will help more kids get
on track, said Hector Camacho, member of the county Board of Trustees.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
said he hoped to see the project succeed
outside of the county boundaries.
The state of California will be better
because of this, he said
The districts selected to accept the
initial round of funding will now have
an unprecedented opportunity to begin
implementing more widespread programming for young students due to the
fundraising effort, which relied heavily
on the generosity of philanthropists
and other large local companies, many
in the technology and innovation sector.
These four communities will start
making history, with all your help,
said Carole Groom, president of the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Salimeh J. Habib, aka, Salimeh Jalil
Habib
Case Number: 125711
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Salimeh J. Habib, aka,
Salimeh Jalil Habib. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Azmi Habib in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Azmi Habib be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 22, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
