Belmont budget strong, infrastructure weak

City has healthy reserves, nearly $190 million in capital improvement needs
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A rebounding economy and healthy

reserves has Belmont officials cautiously
optimistic as they plan to turn to the community seeking support for nearly $190
million in capital improvement needs from
streets to sewers.
On Tuesday, the City Council discussed its

preliminary budget for the coming fiscal

year that includes nearly $30 million in
extra expenses that will be supported by
new and reissued bonds, according to
Finance Director Thomas Fil.
While weve benefited from being innovative and weve been disciplined in our fiscal affairs, the economy is improving and
employees have helped, this magnitude of
infrastructure needs really threatens our suc-

cess. And we want to be responsive to our

residents and their priorities, but our fiscal
condition is limited and exasperated by the
states takeaway of $15.5 million [over the
last 20 years], Fil said.
The majority of the additional $27. 9
million in expenses projected for next
year will be spent on refunding sewer
bonds as well as improving wastewater
treatment plant and street projects,

according to a staff report.

The total $86. 4 million estimated
expenses for next year are funded by healthy
revenue and bonds, with enough left over
for $5 million in reserves and another nearly $6 million to achieve Belmonts goal of
maintaining 33 percent of its operating
expenditures, Fil said.

A train crosses over the bridge at Tilton Avenue in San Mateo that is slated to be replaced. Railroad Avenue north of Tilton
Avenue may need to be reduced to one lane to support Caltrains construction of a new retaining wall.

Caltrain needs part of city street

San Mateos Railroad Avenue may need to be narrowed
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Workers replacing four 112-year-old

bridges in North Central San Mateo
discovered an old retaining wall will
not be able to support the revamped
Caltrain line and now the transit
agency is asking the city to give up a
lane of traffic on a portion of Railroad
Avenue.
The discovery was made during the
$38 million San Mateo Bridges
Replacement Project, which aims to
bring the four structures at Tilton,

Monte Diablo, Santa Inez and Poplar

avenues up to modern seismic safety
standards. In the midst of clearing vegetation and abandoned Western Union
overhead telephone lines, Caltrain
engineers discovered the current
retaining wall that likely dates back
more than 100 years is posing additional problems.
Raising the tracks between 1 foot
and 4 feet throughout the half mile
between Cypress and Monte Diablo
avenues will require a new retaining
wall that the current one cannot support.

Now, Caltrain is seeking to encroach

on a 20-inch portion of the citys
right-of-way on the east side of the
tracks to account for the new wall. The
result, the narrow two-lane North
Railroad Avenue must either lose a lane
of traffic or forfeit on-street parking.
Although construction was projected
to finish in February 2016 with the
bridges being retrofitted off site then
swapped out overnight to avoid a disruption in Caltrain service, the project
cannot proceed unless San Mateo offi-

As the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District

considers how to address the demand for a neighborhood
school that will serve the North Central community in San
Mateo, it is unlikely officials will consider displacing the
Mandarin immersion program housed at College Park
Elementary School.
Instead, a group of officials charged with inspecting how
best to serve a student population that is growing and shifting in demographics will likely suggest establishing a
small neighborhood school on the College Park campus,
and sharing the site with the popular and successful
Mandarin school currently in place, said Superintendent
Cynthia Simms.

Pusok fled by car and then on a stolen

horse in the desert while deputies
chased him on foot. They were trying
to serve a search warrant in an identitytheft investigation.
Pusoks eventual arrest was recorded
by a KNBC-TV news crew in a helicopter. The video showed Pusok, dressed in
bright red clothing, falling from the
horse as a deputy ran up and fired a
Taser that officials said was ineffective.
Pusok was face down with his legs
outstretched and hands behind his back
as a deputy threw punches and kicks.
One deputy kicked him in the crotch.
Other deputies arrived moments later.
The video led to a federal civil rights

Ten deputies were placed on paid

Belmont hosts Polish festival

Bay Areas first event offers food, entertainment, culture
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Think lighting up your weekend with a

little polka might be fun? Then head down
to the Bay Areas first PolCa Polish
Heritage Festival held in Belmont where
the whole family can learn about a thousand-year-old culture rich with dance, food
and art.
Although varying organizations hold
several Polish festivals throughout the
year, this is the first rendition of a collaborative effort to create a centralized event
and Belmonts Twin Pines Park will serve
as cozy venue for a Saturday afternoon of
fun, said Andrzej Prokopczuk, president of
the Polish American Congress, who is
helping to organize the event.
We would like to share our past and
we are proud of this, our history, our culture with other people who live in this
area. And we are part of the Bay Area community, so why not share with them what
we have, Prokopczuk said.
Whether you want to indulge in some
traditional cuisine, listen to live jazz,
marvel at costumed folk dancers or learn
about some of Californias most prominent Poles, the festival will have a range

This week, the Metropolitan Water

of activities for all ages, Prokopczuk said.
With nearly 140,000 people of Polish
descent living in the Bay Area, Poles have
made significant contributions to
Californias history, such as creating the
first map of San Francisco in 1849. Event
organizers are eager to share their rich past
and will offer educational opportunities
from an in-depth exhibit to childrens
games run by a weekend Polish language
school, Prokopczuk said.
The basic aim is to not only have a very
typical ethnic festival with food and dancing; thats the basis, it attracts people and
offers something; but we also want to
include information about the past and the
culture of Poland, Prokopczuk said.
There will be ample feasting opportunities ranging from traditionally prepared
kielbasa and pierogi to Polish beers and
fine California wines.
Entertainment will include performances

John Muir trust to preserve

600 acres in Northern California
MORAGA A conservation group has
announced buying private grazing land
outside Berkeley and Oakland, preserving
spectacular views for nature lovers to
enjoy.
The 600-acre Carr Ranch could be open
to the public after the sale is complete in
June 2016.
The John Muir Land Trust announced the
agreement on Thursday.
Some grazing will continue, but the public also will get room to hike and enjoy
other low-key recreation. Cattle have
grazed the land for a century.
The land purchase will be one of the
largest made by the trust, which has preserved 2,500 acres in the area.
The conservation group, named for the
Martinez conservationist, has launched a

American singer Diane Davidson.

Jazz is a bridge between two cultures.
Its very much liked in Poland and of
course, its coming from America,
Prokopczuk said.
Three other bands and children from the
Polish Language School in Walnut Creek
will also be performing throughout the
day.
If successful, Prokopczuk said he hopes
Saturdays event will be the first of many
festivals bringing together Polish organizations from San Francisco, San Jose,
Sacramento and national groups.
All these Polish heritage groups which
are active here, you will find they are dispersed, thats the nature of the Bay Area,
Prokopczuk said. I believe a collaborative effort of bringing people together
will bring better visibility for our children, our grandchildren, so they feel more
secure and know where they came from.

National Spelling Bee ends in tie for second year in a row

By Ben Nuckols

OXON HILL, Md. They couldnt be rattled. They couldnt be denied. Gokul
Venkatachalam and Vanya Shivashankar had
worked too hard and come close too many
times not to win the Scripps National
Spelling Bee on Thursday.
So they shared the title, making history
in two different ways.
The bee hadnt ended in a tie for 52 years
until last year. Now its happened for an
unprecedented two years running.
Vanya, 13, of Olathe, Kansas, is the first
sibling of a past champion to win. Her sister, Kavya, won in 2009.
Vanyas final word was scherenschnitte, which means the art of cutting
paper into decorative designs. After being
informed hed be the co-champion if he got
the next word right, Gokul didnt even bother to ask the definition before spelling
nunatak. For the record, it means a hill or
mountain completely surrounded by glacial
ice.
Asked what he thought when he got the
word, Gokul said, Me and Vanya were

insurance claims, settlements and awards
that would otherwise go to individuals who
owe child support.
The measure approved by the state Senate

will greatly increase payments.

It is supported by law enforcement

The bill heads to the Senate after passing
on a 53 to 11 vote, without debate.

Vanya, who also acts and plays the tuba

grandmother.
Everything takes hard work and passion, Vanya said. Thats definitely what I
put in and I know Gokul put that into this
endeavor as well.
Proving their superiority over even their
toughest competitors, Vanya and Gokul
went head-to-head for 10 rounds before the
list of 25 championship words was exhausted.
The words included: bouquetihre, caudillismo, thamakau, scytale, Bruxellois and

U.S. to fine tune Iraq strategy

Kurdish fighters in Syria on

the march against militants
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT In contrast to the Iraqi armys

failures, Kurdish fighters in Syria are on the
march against the Islamic State group, capturing towns and villages in an oil-rich
swath of the countrys northeast under the
cover of U.S.-led airstrikes.
As the Kurds close in on Tel Abyad, a
major commercial center on the Turkish border, their advance highlights the decisive
importance of combining airstrikes with
the presence of a cohesive and motivated
ally on the ground so clearly absent in
Iraq.
In Syria, a country now split mostly
between al-Qaida-style militants and forces
loyal to President Bashar Assad, the U.S.
has found a reliable partner in the countrys
main Kurdish fighting force, known as the
YPG. They are moderate, mostly secular
fighters, driven by revolutionary fervor and
deep conviction in their cause.
Since the beginning of May, they have
wrested back more than 200 Kurdish and
Christian towns in northeastern Syria, as
well as strategic mountains seized earlier by

Administration asks judge

to toss House health care suit
WASHINGTON A skeptical federal judge
grilled Obama administration lawyers
Thursday over the House GOPs health care
lawsuit, sounding unlikely to side with the
president and dismiss the case.
You dont really think that, do you?
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer asked
Justice Department attorney Joel McElvain
in the opening moments of his argument, as
he tried to assert that the House hadnt suffered a particular injury from Obamas health
care law and therefore lacks a basis for
suing.
I have a very hard time taking that state-

IS. Along the way, they have picked up

ammunition, weapons and vehicles left
behind by Islamic State fighters.
The push has gotten them closer to Tel
Abyad, a major avenue for commerce for the
extremist group through which it smuggles
foreign fighters and sells black-market oil
to help fund its conquests. The city is also a
key link between Turkey and the northern
Syrian city of Raqqa, the Islamic State
groups de-facto capital in its self-declared
caliphate.
The YPG doesnt lack a will to fight, like
soldiers in the Syrian army, or soldiers in
the Iraqi army who mostly fight for a
salary, said Wladimir van Wilgenburg, a
Middle East analyst at the Jamestown
Foundation in Washington. The YPG is
much more motivated than other forces in
the region, and doesnt lack cohesion and
doesnt have coordination problems.
The YPG is quite ideological, while the
Syrian and Iraqi army arent very well motivated, van Wilgenburg added.
The Iraqi military has struggled to make
gains after its humiliating defeats last year,
when it virtually crumbled in the face of the
militant onslaught in northern Iraq.

Around the nation

ment seriously, Collyer said. At other
points she chided McElvain for his responses, saying You are dodging my question
and You may disagree with me but I happen
to be the judge.
At issue in the case is some $175 billion
the administration is paying health insurance companies over a decade to reimburse
them for offering lowered rates for poor people. The House argues that Congress never
specifically appropriated that money, and
indeed denied an administration request for
it, but that the administration is paying it
anyway.

WASHINGTON Pentagon leaders are

trying to fine tune U.S. strategy for ousting the Islamic State group from Iraq, focusing on faster and better training and arming
of Sunni tribes whose combat role is central
to reversing the extremists advances, senior U.S. officials said Thursday.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter, speaking to
reporters while traveling to Asia, said he
told senior military officers at the Pentagon
this week to come up with ideas to improve
training and equipping, particularly of the
Sunni tribes who complain that the Shiitedominated government in Baghdad is dragging its heels on helping them.
I cant describe to you what the possibilities are because folks are looking at them
right now, Carter said.
The scramble for answers comes after
Islamic State forces, though outnumbered,
captured the Anbar province capital of
Ramadi as Iraqi forces fled on May 16.
Although the White House says those Iraqi
forces were not U. S. -trained, the defeat
prompted Carter to make the startlingly
frank public assessment last weekend that
the Iraqis lacked the will to fight.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday said it
was time for the U.S. to consider whether it
was delivering military aid to Iraq efficiently.
A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve
Warren, said later that the focus is on finetuning the strategy, not rewriting it.
The U.S. military strategy in Iraq is built
on airstrikes to degrade the Islamic State
forces while rebuilding Iraqi security forces
to eventually regain the vast swaths of territory in the north and west that were lost
over the past 18 months. The current focus
is on retaking Ramadi and other parts of predominantly Sunni Anbar province.
The Obama administration insists it will
assist the Sunnis only through the Shiite-

dominated central government in Baghdad

because it wants to foster
a multi-sectarian government, rather than directly
arm and organize the ethnic tribes for combat.
It was unclear whether
Carter might recommend
scrapping the indirect
Ash Carter
approach or adjust it in
some way in the days ahead, but the tenor of
his remarks and comments by other officials
suggested that dramatic changes were
unlikely.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff
who was a top commander in Iraq during the
2003-11 war, said there may be merit in
enlarging the U.S. military role by embedding U.S. advisers with Iraqi forces in the
field. But he made clear that this also has
drawbacks, and that it would be a judgment
call if recommended by the Pentagon.
Odierno, who served in command three
times in Iraq, said the failure of Iraqi security forces to hold their ground was incredibly disappointing to me personally. But he
also said he sees no wisdom in sending substantial U.S. ground combat forces to do the
fighting.
Im adamant about that, he said.
Expending American lives to defeat the
extremists without fixing Iraqs internal
political divisions would be a waste and an
unsustainable solution.
It always comes back to the government
of Iraq, Odierno said, referring to its inability to unify its Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish
populations in a way that would give the
countrys security forces confidence and
motivation to fight.
Washington already has pledged to accelerate the shipment of certain weapons to
Baghdad, including AT-4 weapons that could
be used to stop armored vehicles that
Islamic State fighters have used effectively
as suicide bombs.

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.

funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to

Stabilizing our communities and restoring our dignity Trials in finding

By Cynthia Cornell

year ago, after returning from the

funeral of a former neighbor and
friend, I sat down and asked
myself, What can I do? My friend and her
husband, lifelong residents and workers on
the Peninsula, suffered immensely in the
last three years of life after being evicted
from their home of 15 years in Burlingame.
A new owner increased monthly rents by
$850 and up, forcing nine of the 10 senior
households to leave. It was exceedingly
difcult to nd new housing; they struggled
each month to pay the rent. They felt
ashamed of their sudden need. I believe
their deaths were hastened by the shock of
eviction and stark uncertainty of their nal
years.
After returning from the funeral, I began
organizing Burlingame Advocates for
Renter Protections. Now I ask, What can
we do? The mass displacement of low- and
middle-income tenants and seniors in our
communities has accelerated; living with
housing insecurity and anxiety, we have no
protection from the greed of so many landlords. Rents can be increased several times
in a single year, and people are evicted for
no reason whatsoever, even if they can pay
the additional rent. The Bay Areas diversity, values and character are being destroyed
by this greed and a lack of rights for tenants.
We have recently witnessed mass evictions at large- and medium-sized complexes
(Park Royal in San Mateo, owned by G.W.
Williams & Co. 73 units of families and
seniors; OAMC 910 Clinton Investments
a building of families housing 31 children). But the crisis has also hit small
buildings in a big way. Our group has an
information table set up most weekends on
Burlingame Avenue where we hear these
stories. Here are some common themes:
New owners purchase a building and do
nothing to improve it, but raise the rents
so that most people have to leave;

New owners purchase

a building and evict
everyone so they can
upgrade and double or
triple the rents to new
higher earners, causing a
rippling of increases
everywhere;
Older landlords who
valued their tenants are
passing their property on to their children
who dont share the same values, and want
increased prots; and
Property management companies and
the San Mateo County Association of
Realtors and California Apartment
Association frighten landlords by telling
them their property values will plummet if
they dont increase rents like everyone
else.
Renters are frightened and anxious
they dont complain about poor maintenance, harassment or unsanitary living
conditions. Landlords who dont maintain
their properties or havent upgraded have
no incentives, yet still increase rents.
Renters are afraid to speak out at council
meetings or sign petitions. They fear they
will have to nd money to move away,
endure longer commutes, spend less time
with family, and even quit their jobs.
Seniors who thought they saved enough for
retirement are choosing between food and
medicine.
The once-thriving African-American
community has almost disappeared, and
low-and middle-income Latinos are under
assault. It is becoming harder for small
businesses to nd workers. Sheriffs
deputies and other essential workers rent
rooms to sleep during their off hours
because they cant afford to live here.
Nueva School in Hillsborough is considering building teacher housing. Medical
workers, baristas, grocery workers,
roofers, secretaries, journalists, artists and
musicians the list of displaced populations is endless.
City and county ofcials want to keep

Guest
perspective
rent control and eviction protections out of
the conversation while paying lip service
to building affordable housing someday.
Meanwhile, they welcome thousands more
jobs into the community with no complementary housing. Many of them are
beholden to Realtors and landlords for their
campaign nancing. Some homeowners
dont want additional housing; others do
because their adult children cannot leave
home, or have to move far away. We cant
build enough to meet the demand, and certainly not soon enough to stop the massive displacement.
In Burlingame, renters have to place rent
stabilization on the ballot to overturn a
law that prohibits it. In the meantime, the
City Council could institute other protections such as a just cause eviction ordinance, but our pleas to be placed on the
agenda have been quietly ignored. Activists
such as SFOP/Peninsula Interfaith Action
are working tirelessly for tenant protections in other cities and in the counties
where local ofcials have power to enact
protections; however, the backlash is wellfunded and organized.
At our weekly tablings, we have been
approached by high-earning tech workers
who say they also want rent stabilization.
Some landlords have told us that they think
it has to happen that it is inevitable. We
all have a stake in this and must move
quickly to restore dignity to ourselves and
our communities.

Burlingame Adv ocates for Renter

Black Mountain bond measure
Editor,
Neither of the informal surveys
described are scientic polling of the San
Carlos voters (San Carlos Black
Mountain acquisition support strong in
the May 26 edition of the Daily Journal).
They are polls of supporters of the purchase who attended the Black Mountain
parcel site visit and/or went to the San
Carlos city website and clicked to vote (for
a grand total of 98 votes out of 300 visits).
The number polled makes up less than
0.1 percent of the voters in San Carlos, and
some of these votes may be friends and
family of the City Council, or even the
property owners that will make $30 million to $40 million in prot if the bond is
approved.

Carlos voters on this issue, it could hire a

polling company and get the answer immediately for far less expense than what it is
paying for the glossy mailers, frequent
Internet ads and closure of Alameda de las
Pulgas for site tours of the Black Mountain
parcel. Apparently the city is not looking
for a poll of the voters but rather it appears
to be pushing forward with its agenda to
raise taxes. The Black Mountain, Rollieri
and Vista Del Grande parcels make up only
25 acres. There are much larger tracts of
unused open space in the San Carlos hills
owned by the city and the county, but these
areas are virtually unused because of the
lack of trails, parking and toilet
facilities.
Wouldnt it be a much better use of city
money to develop the open spaces it currently has rather than make this extremely
costly purchase of land, which the city
lacks the resources and interest to develop

Editor,
The city has done a good job promoting
this project, but we think the money would
be far better spent building a sports complex near the freeway like Belmont has

Water Dog Lake

he day started innocently enough

and with the best of intentions.
For years I had heard of Water Dog
Lake, purportedly the jewel of Belmont in
the heart of the city.
And yet, I had never been there. The
hike around it was said to be mild enough,
with some ups and downs but about a mile
or so. A seemingly easy enough task for a
family with a daughter who was into the
woods these days. So off we went late on
a Sunday morning. I Googled the location
so we could find the trailhead and off we
went from the Ralston Avenue exit off
State Route 92.
Once in
Belmont, we
encountered a
neighborhood
with 1970s
style homes
with a full
complement of
stucco. The
map app on my
phone told me
of a few turns
to take to get
to the trailhead
on Hallmark
Drive. After a
few wrong turns, we found it. Upon
checking the map, it seemed as if we had
to go left to get to the lake instead of
down. So we went left. But maybe about
20 yards in, the trail turned slightly sideways, the soil loose and shrubs overgrown. My daughter, not yet 4, didnt like
it. It was scary. So we decided to try a different entrance. To the map. An easy
entry point seemed to be Ralston Middle
School just off the main road so we headed in that direction. After walking to the
back of the school, clearly marked with
signs about mountain lion danger, we
found the entry point to the trail. But the
gate was locked and it appeared this trail
too was overgrown. I seemed to have
recalled a recent incident with a mountain
lion near the school and that was likely
the reason for the locked gate. After all,
wild animals with teeth and middleschoolers are not a good combination
so I couldnt fault the decision to have
that gate locked. Though it appears a
mountain lion would have no trouble getting through it. But the school is nice.
Again to the car to see if we could actually find a way to Water Dog Lake. My
wife recalled being at a summer camp and
walking a trail from Carlmont Drive so
we decided to give that a try.
Near the Merry Moppet School, we
found a space for the car and what
appeared to be familiar to my wife from
her days as a summer camp youth. We
headed up and found a trailhead with people heading in and out. Success!
After a brief hike up a hill, we made it
to the clearing where we could see water.
Alas, Water Dog Lake was upon us.
Unfortunately, this was about an hour and
a half since we came to the first trailhead
so our venture had to be cut short. After
all, we were butting up against nap time.
So we spent about 10 minutes watching
a dog and its owner playing catch and
decided to head back. We would have liked
to have stopped downtown for lunch, but
there was no longer enough time. We will
have to try it again next time. Belmont
residents who may know the ways of the
Water Dog Lake trail system may laugh at
us, specifically me, but it would be nice if
the trails were better maintained or
marked for those who dont know. Maybe
even a note on the citys website. But
now that we do know, we will be sure to
hit the trail we did and hope we make it
farther than the very tip of the lake next
time. After all, we hear its nice.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell

slightly Thursday, following a sell-off
in the Chinese market and continued
worries about the approaching debt
payment deadline for cash-starved
Greece.
The overall market was quiet, with
the Dow moving less than 100 points
throughout the session. Energy and
industrial stocks were among the
biggest decliners. Most investors are
in wait and see mode regarding
Greece and the Federal Reserve, which
is weighing when to begin raising
interest rates.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slipped 36.87 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 18,126.12. The Standard & Poors
500 index edged down 2.69 points, or
0.1 percent, to 2,120.79 and the
Nasdaq composite lost 8.62 points, or
0.2 percent, to 5,097.98.
In corporate news, chipmakers
Avago Technologies and Broadcom
agreed to merge in a $37 billion deal.
Avago rose 89 cents, or 1 percent, to
$142.38. Broadcom fell 91 cents, or 2
percent, to $56.25. Both stocks had
jumped sharply Wednesday
Broadcom by 22 percent and Avago by
8 percent on rumors those companies were in talks.

In Greece, progress in talks between

that country and its creditors is unclear.
Greece said it expected to reach a deal to
get more bailout loans in time to make
a key debt payment on June 5. Its creditors were quick to temper expectations.
Greece said it aims to clinch a deal by
Sunday, which would allow it to receive
the much needed final installment of its
international bailout and avoid a
default.
Greece has given investors a
headache for years now, and many are
skeptical that this round of talks will
resolve any of the countrys debt
issues.
Theyre likely to kick the can down
the road as they have been, said Scott
Wren, a market strategist with Wells
Fargo. At this point, I think were
likely looking at Greece leaving the
eurozone.
In European markets, Greek stocks
fell 1.7 percent. Germanys DAX lost
0.8 percent, Frances CAC-40 lost 0.9
percent and the U.K.s FTSE 100 index
rose 0.1 percent.
Along with Greeces debt problems,
investors are looking for insight into
when the Fed might start raising interest rates. The central bank is expected
to increase rates as early as September,
but the banks policymakers say any
increase will depend on how the U.S.

Why a shrinking U.S. economy

last quarter isnt cause for fear
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Another first

quarter of the year. Another reversal for the U.S. economy. Another
expectation of a rebound to come.
On Friday, the government will
likely estimate that the economy
shrank in the January-March quarter for a second straight year,
depressed by brutal weather, a reeling energy sector and an export
slump caused by a higher-valued
dollar.
Yet few will see any cause for
panic.
Steady job gains are widely
expected to propel modestly

healthy growth for the rest of

2015. A harsh winter is gone. So
is a labor dispute that slowed trade
at West Coast ports. Home sales
and construction are rebounding.
Business investment is picking
up.
Many economists also suspect
that the governments calculations have tended to underestimate
growth in the first quarter of each
year.
Some sectors of the economy do
remain subpar. Energy drillers, for
example, have been damaged by
persistently low energy prices and
are still cutting jobs and slowing
production. The rise in the dollar
is still making U.S. manufactured

goods pricier overseas.

Yet the outlook has brightened
considerably since winter. Most
economists expect lower gas
prices eventually to accelerate
consumer spending, the main fuel
for the economy.
Analysts generally foresee the
economy growing at an annual
rate of 2 percent to 2.5 percent in
the current April-June quarter, with
further strengthening later in the
year. That pace would mark a significant gain from the 0.8 percent
annualized drop they expect the
government to report Friday in its
revised estimate for the JanuaryMarch quarter, according to a survey by FactSet.

Google offers unlimited free storage of photos, videos

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Google is

willing to store and organize all of
the worlds digital photos and
videos for free.
The online photo service
announced Thursday is the latest
example of Googles desire to
wrap its tentacles around virtually
every part of peoples lives.
Google will provide unlimited

storage of all photos up to 16

megapixels and high-definition
video up to 1080p.
The service, called Google
Photos, will be available as an app
on Android and Apple devices, and
on
a
website,
http://photos.google.com. Its a
variation of the photo-management tool on Google Plus, a social
networking service that has struggled to compete against Facebook

since its 2011 debut.

There has been a renaissance in
the thinking of what Google Plus
is for, said Bradley Horowitz,
Googles vice president of photos
and streams. Google Plus will
stick around, Horowitz said,
although it is likely to focus on
bringing together people who
share common interests and hobbies instead of trying to connect
friends and family.

economy is doing.
Investors were also unnerved but a
sell-off in Asia. Chinas Shanghai
Composite sank 6.5 percent. Stock
market commentator Hexun attributed
the fall to several factors, including
brokerages tightening lending to individual investors, selling by speculators and a Chinese sovereign wealth
fund selling shares in two state banks.
Despite an economic slowdown in
China, the index has gained 40 percent
in the past three months. Chinese leaders have tried to tap the brakes on the
stock boom, fearing it could run out of
control and disrupt economic reform
plans.
In the U.S., government bond prices
were flat. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note held at 2.14 percent.
In energy markets, oil ended slightly
higher after the government reported
bigger-than-expected declines in U.S.
oil and gasoline supplies. The price of
U.S. oil rose 17 cents to $57.68 a barrel after being down $1 a barrel earlier.
Brent crude, used by many U.S. refiners
in the production of gasoline, rose 52
cents to $62.58 in London.
In other energy futures trading,
wholesale gasoline gained 4.1 cents to
$1.985 a gallon. Heating oil rose 1.4
cents to $1.87 a gallon and natural gas
fell 14.1 cents to $2.706 per 1,000
cubic feet.

GoPro gets real

... virtually real
NEW YORK Shares of GoPro
jumped to a five-month high
Thursday after the companys CEO
said the company is getting into
the drone and virtual reality business.
The company already dominates
the action video camera market and
its entry into the fast-growing field
of drones and virtual reality sent
shares up 3 percent early Thursday.
Nick Woodman, who also founded the company, said at the Code
Conference in California, that
GoPro will come out with a quadcopter drone geared toward consumers in the first half of 2016.
GoPro is also introducing sixcamera technology for use in virtual reality, using its HERO4 cameras, which may be available this
year. GoPro last month said it was
buying Kolor, a French company
that makes stitching technology
that allows users to combine multiple photos or videos into a highresolution panoramic or spherical
whole.
Shares of GoPro Inc. rose $3.53,
or 6.6 percent, to close at $56.81
on Thursday. Its shares are up 35
percent in the past three months.

Apple buys a maker of

augmented-reality software
SAN FRANCISCO Apple has
bought a company that makes aug-

Business briefs
mented-reality software, which
adds information or images to realworld scenes when viewed through
a special headset or even a smartphone camera.
Its the latest sign that major tech
companies see big potential for
products that let users view the
world with extra features added by
technology. Apple,
Google,
Facebook and Microsoft are all
working on augmented- or virtualreality products.

Avago looks to
grow with $37B deal
for chipmaker Broadcom
NEW
YORK

Avago
Technologies is buying rival chipmaker Broadcom in a cash and
stock deal worth about $37 billion,
vastly expanding its lineup of
products for the rapidly growing
wireless device market at a time
when sales growth has otherwise
been tough to come by for smaller
chipmakers.
Hock Tan, Avagos president and
chief executive, says that the deal
will make his company the third
largest semiconductor maker in
terms of revenue and give it the
most diversified communications
platform in the industry, adding
that there is very little overlap
between Avago and Broadcoms
products.

Scots fall in CCS semis

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SAN JOSE The Carlmont softball team

has had Wilcoxs number over the past year.
In 2014, the Scots beat the Chargers 4-3
in the Central Coast Section semifinals on
their way to the eighth CCS title in program
history. Carlmont also posted a 6-3 win
over the Chargers in the Mission tournament earlier this season.
Thursday night at San Joses P. A. L.
Stadium, however, Wilcox finally turned the
tables. The Chargers scored four runs in the
fifth inning to erase a 1-0 deficit before
adding two more in the top of the seventh to
post a 6-3 victory in the Division I semifi-

nals and deny the Scots a chance to defend

their title.
We didnt deserve it today, said
Carlmont coach Jim Liggett, who also said
next season will be his last coaching the
Scots.
We didnt make the plays when we needed to, didnt make the pitches when we needed to.
Wilcox, the No. 3 seed, will face No. 1
San Benito in Saturdays championship
game. The Haybalers beat Los Altos 8-0 in
the other semifinal.
Carlmont (22-6), the No. 2 seed, got off
to a quick start, scratching out a run in the
bottom of the first inning. Jacey Phipps,

Sequoias Cinderella run ends

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SAN JOSE With Tommy Lopiparo being

one of just two seniors in the starting lineup
for the Sequoia baseball team Thursday night,
it was surreal to see it play out as the threesport athletes final high school game.
Lopiparo and fellow senior starter Matt
Lopez saw their varsity careers close inauspi-

cously as No. 11-seed Sequoias profound

underdog story came to end with a 3-2 loss to
No. 7 Pioneer (18-11) in the Central Coast
Section Division I semifinals at San Joses
Municipal Stadium.
Its crazy to think its over, but its been
the best four years of my life, Lopiparo said.
The Cherokees (19-12) took a 2-0 lead into
the fourth inning, but Pioneer rallied for three
runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the

lead for good. With the win, Pioneer advances

to Saturdays championship game to face No.
16 Piedmont Hills. Piedmont Hills won a 10inning thriller 11-8 over No. 12 Milpitas in
the opening game at Municipal Stadium
Thursday, causing the Sequoia-Pioneer nightcap to start an hour and 44 minutes late.
Pioneer starting pitcher Zach Silva went
the distance to earn the win, improving his
record to 8-2. The senior right-hander struck

out a season-high 13 and absolutely dominated through the middle innings.

Sequoia played a wild card in starting pitcher Blake Carbonneau. The junior left-hander
had thrown just 13 innings this season entering into Thursdays start, seven of which
came in a one-hit shutout earlier this season
in a non-league game against Emanuel.

Avaya Stadium to host 2016 MLS All-Star game

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE The San Jose Earthquakes

know they have one of the snazziest new soccer stadiums around, and now theyre gearing
up to show it off for all of Major League
Soccer to see.
State-of-the-art Avaya Stadium will host
the 2016 Major League Soccer All-Star Game,
MLS Deputy Commissioner Mark Abbott
said Thursday at the stadium.
Its world-class, its spectacular and the
whole worlds going to get to see it, Abbott
said. The game and a related weeklong soccer

fest will be in late July next year.

Commissioner Don Garber didnt attend
the news conference with no reason given by
MLS.
Avaya, an 18,000-seat soccer-specific stadium, just hosted the U.S. womens World
Cup teams win against Ireland on May 10.
Club America will face the Earthquakes at
Avaya Stadium on July 14 in the
International Champions Cup.
This is a super exciting day for San Jose,
for the Earthquakes, Earthquakes President
Dave Kaval said. People know its a great
venue to watch soccer. ... People in the Bay
Area and San Jose love soccer, so I think people are going to turn out in droves. I think its

going to have great energy and its going to

be a celebration of not only the Earthquakes
and what weve done here with Avaya Stadium
but of soccer broadly and where it stands.
The franchise broke ground on the privately funded, $100 million stadium in October
2012, and it is known for its technological
capabilities not to mention other unique
elements such as boasting the largest outdoor
bar in North America behind one goal and
food truck options for concessions with an
expansive grassy area for kids to play or
watch a game on the huge video board.
The seats are also three different shades of
blue with a few red ones mixed in to honor the
colors of past Bay Area soccer teams. The

Giants break open tight game late

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Belts solo

home run in the seventh inning broke up a
scoreless pitching duel and the San Francisco
Giants won their fourth straight, beating the
Atlanta Braves 7-0 on Thursday night.
Chris Heston (5-3) allowed four hits over 7
1-3 innings to win his third straight decision
and give the Giants 12 wins in their past 14
games. He also doubled, his first career extra
base hit.
Hunter Pence added a two-run triple and Joe
Panik a two-run double in a six-run eighth
inning against Brandon Cunniff to break the
game open. Brandon Crawford had two hits and
drove in a run and Nori Aoki added two hits.
Pence became the first right-handed hitter to
hit safely against Cunniff, ending his streak of
30 straight to begin his career.
Shelby Miller (5-2), who came within one
out of a no-hitter in his last road start, took the
loss despite allowing one run and five hits
over seven innings. He did not walk a batter
and struck out one.
The Braves lost their third of four games and

fell to 1-6 in their last seven games against the

Giants.
Miller, who allowed his first home run since
April 30, a span of five games, lowered his ERA
to 1.48, matching Zack Greinke of the Dodgers
for the NL lead.
Both starting pitchers were efficient throughout. Miller retired 16 of the first 17 batters he
faced. Heston and Belt were the only Giants to
venture beyond first base against him.
Heston, meanwhile, retired 16 of the first 18
Braves he faced. He walked one and struck out
six. He had allowed 11 runs in his previous 7 23 innings.
Jace Peterson singled with one out in the
sixth. After Cameron Maybin struck out,
Freddie Freeman singled to send Peterson to
third before Heston got Nick Markakis to
ground out, ending the Braves best chance
against him.
Heston gave up a hit to open the eighth but
got pinch-hitter Pedro Ciriaco on a forceout.
Jeremy Affledt and Sergio Romo followed, each
getting an out in the eighth.
Buster Posey of the Giants went 0 for 4, end-

ing his streak of reaching base safely at a careerhigh 27 games.

Trainers room
Brav es : OF Joey Terdoslavich (left wrist
sprain) went 5 for 13 (.385) in three games with
Class-A Rome. He is continuing his rehab with
Carolina.
Gi ants : RHP Jake Peavy (back strain) got
kicked around in his second rehab start, allowing six runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings
Wednesday night with Triple-A Sacramento.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he expects
Peavy to make at least two more rehab starts.

Up next
Brav es : RHP Mike Foltynewicz (3-1, 4.25)
starts Friday nights game against the Giants.
Hes coming off his best performance yet, a
three-hitter over 7 2-3 innings.
Gi ants : RHP Tim Hudson (2-4, 5.04) makes
his first start against the Braves since leaving
the team for free agency. He gave up a seasonhigh eight runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings in
his last start.

pattern is a code and whoever figures it out

first will win two tickets to the 2018 World
Cup.
The steep seating provides an increased
noise level and keeps fans closer to the
action. There is also an all-standing section
behind one goal.
While the capacity is 18,000, Kaval said
consideration might be given with more
than a year to prepare to bringing in temporary seats to bring the crowd to about
20,000 without taking away from the fan
experience.
Its like going to Disneyland, people
come here, theyre happy, they have a good
time, he said. Thats the No. 1 thing.

As rally to beat Yankees

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Ben Zobrist drew a basesloaded walk from David Carpenter in the
seventh inning to break a tie and the
Oakland Athletics rallied from a three-run
deficit to beat the New York Yankees 5-4 on
Thursday night.
Billy Burns and Brett Lawrie homered off
CC Sabathia (2-7) to start the comeback
from a 3-0 hole and the
As went on to beat the
Yankees for the 10th time
in their past 11 meetings
in Oakland.
Alex Rodriguez tied
Barry Bonds for second
place on the all-time
RBIs list and Brian
McCann homered in his
Ben Zobrist third straight game for
the Yankees, who had
their three-game winning streak snapped.
Evan Scribner (1-0) retired all five batters
he faced for the win. Tyler Clippard allowed
a two-out RBI double by Brett Gardner in the
ninth before getting Chase Hedley to fly
out for his fifth save in six chances.
The As ended a 12-game home losing
streak of one-run games.
Sabathia was cruising with a three-run
lead in the fifth inning before Burns hit his
second homer of the season just inside the
foul pole in left field.
Lawrie tied the game with a two-run shot
in the sixth and the As knocked out
Sabathia when Josh Phegley and Mark
Canha reached to open the seventh.
Carpenter walked Zobrist with one out to
force in Canha with the go-ahead run and
Billy Butler added a sacrifice fly to make it
5-3.
Sabathia allowed five runs and eight hits
in six-plus innings.
McCann hit a solo homer in the second
and an RBI single in the fourth against
Kendall Graveman. Rodriguez was initially
called out at the plate on the single when
umpire Ed Hickox ruled he missed home
plate while eluding the tag. Phegley then
tagged Rodriguez out.
But Rodriguez emphatically waved that he
was safe and he was proven correct on
replay, which showed his hand just got a
piece of home plate as he went by.
Rodriguez added a sacrifice fly in the fifth
to make it 3-0, tying Bonds for second with

Sports brief
FIFA President Blatter asks
to be re-elected despite crisis
ZURICH Sepp Blatter will seek another
term as FIFA president later Friday after asking
soccer leaders to entrust him with guiding the
governing bodys recovery from a corruption
crisis again.
We have been hit and I personally have been
slapped, Blatter said at his 2011 re-election,
which was overshadowed by a bribery scandal
within FIFA. I dont want that ever again.
Four years on, FIFAs reputation has been
bruised by the deepest scandal in its 111-year
history, and Blatters leadership is coming
under question.

one-out single in the third. The Chargers
started to time her up, however, as the game
went along. In the top of the fourth,
Wilcoxs Ramirez stroked a two-out double
to left, but Cadona got out of the inning
unscathed.
She and the Scots were not so fortunate in
the fifth, however, as the Chargers scored
four runs on four hits while sending eight
batters to the plate. Back-to-back singles
to open the inning had the Chargers in business and after throwing a first-pitch strike
to Wilcoxs No. 8 batter, Liggett lifted
Cadona in favor of Mailey McLemore, who
went on to strike out the batter for the first
out of the inning.
That would be about as good as it got for
McLemore, however. She proceeded to walk
the No. 9 batter on four pitches to load the
bases and bring up leadoff hitter Morgan
Ratliff. McLemore quickly got ahead 0-2,
but on the third pitch of the at-bat, Ratliff
laced a two-run single into center to give
the Chargers their first lead of the game, 21. Following a comebacker to McLemore

The 209 FIFA member nations will decide

Friday whether to stick with the 79-year-old
Blatter or end his 17-year rule by backing Prince
Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan.
The vote comes two days after Swiss police
arrested seven soccer officials, including two
FIFA vice presidents, as part of corruption
investigations in the United States and
Switzerland. It has been a dramatic build up to
the election, which European delegates wanted
to delay.
It is necessary to begin to restore trust in our
organization, Blatter told the opening session
of the FIFA congress Thursday.
UEFA President Michel Platini believes that
requires the departure of Blatter, warning that a
boycott of the World Cup by European nations
could be considered if there wasnt a change of
president.
for the second out, Wilcoxs Hailey
Thompson came up and jumped on the first
pitch she saw, rifling a two-run single to
center to put the Chargers up 4-1 before
McLemore finally got out of the inning.
Carlmont closed to 4-3 with a pair of runs
in the bottom of the sixth. McLemore led
off the inning with a walk before Cadona
drove her in with a double. McLemore barely beat the throw to the plate, but it enabled
Cadona to go to third on the throw. Mariko
Kondo followed and hit a hot shot to the
pitcher, as Cadona broke for the plate.
Cadona got caught in a rundown and was
tagged out, but not before Kondo pulled
into second base. Following a groundout
that moved Kondo to third, Michaela
Spielman, who was the only other
Carlmont batter to get two hits, drove her
home by legging out an infield hit.
Wilcox, however, got both runs back in
the top of the seventh when Hayley Yount
bunted for a hit to bring up Ratliff. Again on
an 0-2 pitch, Ratliff blasted the ball to the
fence in the left-center field gap. Ratliff
raced around the bases for a two-run homer
and a 6-3 Wilcox advantage.
The Scots were retired in order in the bottom of the frame to end their season.
Give Wilcox credit, Liggett said. They
played well.

WARRIORS

es in the finals since the leagues first championship.

Continued from page 11

No place like home

the NBA. James was the cant-miss Chosen

One taken with the top pick in the 2003
draft, a perfect 6-foot-8 combination of size
and speed.
Curry had the sweet shot but a small
stature, considered by many not big enough
for NBA super stardom when he was drafted
out of Davidson in 2009. Yet he put together a highlight reel this season with his brilliant ballhandling and smooth stroke and
was voted MVP, finishing two spots ahead
of James.
Curry averaged 31.2 points and shot nearly 50 percent from 3-point range in the West
finals, while James nearly averaged a tripledouble in the Cavs four-game romp.
The Warriors have home-court advantage
after winning a league-best 67 games. But
the Cavaliers, despite a difficult start to the
season and the loss of Kevin Love, have
been even better in the postseason, with a
12-2 record.
No matter what happens from here on
out, to see what weve accomplished being a
first-year team together thats had different
changes throughout the course of the season, thats faced so many obstacles
throughout the season injuries here,
transactions here, lineups here its something we can be very proud of to this point,
James said.
This will be his second crack at trying to
help the Cavs win their first title. They got
there in 2007 but were swept by San
Antonio. The Warriors are seeking their first
championship since 1975.
Here are some things to watch in the
finals:

Golden State is 46-3 at Oracle Arena this

season. The Cavaliers have become just as
unbeatable on their home floor, winning 26
of their last 28 games at Quicken Loans
Arena, including 18 by double digits.

New kids on the block

The Warriors Steve Kerr and the
Cavaliers David Blatt who nearly signed
on to work under Kerr before getting the
Cleveland job are the first rookie coach-

Sore stars
Kyrie Irving has been MVP of the All-Star
Game and the Basketball World Cup
where he started in the U. S. backcourt
alongside Curry. Now he gets his chance in
the NBA Finals, with plenty of time to rest
the knee and foot injuries that caused him to
miss two games in the conference finals.
The time off will benefit fellow All-Star and
world champion Klay Thompson. He began
experiencing concussion symptoms after
being kneed in the head and bleeding from
the ear in the series clincher against
Houston. Hell need to pass the leagues

We let him get ahead with the fastball too

when hes getting ahead that way.
Silva owned the right side of the plate from
early on. But he dialed into the left side by the
late innings, making him virtually untouchable.
He kind of knew our batters by the second
time around and he was hitting his spots,
Lopiparo said. We just left too many opportunities out there.
The only blemish on Matt Smiths outing
was the sacrifice fly he allowed to bring home
the go-ahead run. Otherwise, the sophomore
right-hander set down eight straight batters
to close out his first varsity season on the
mound.
This was kind of a kitchen-sink game from
the beginning anyway, Uhalde said. We didnt have any intention of having anyone

I think its just a testament to when the
sum is greater than the individual parts,
Uhalde said. These guys absolutely love
each other. They love going out in the field
with each other every day. ... I dont know if
Ive had a team thats gotten so much better

Sharks hire
former New
Jersey coach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE San Jose general

manager Doug Wilson was so
impressed by Peter DeBoer when he
interviewed in 2008 that he moved
to the top of the list when the
Sharks had to search for a new head
coach.
The experience DeBoer gained in
those intervening years coaching
Florida and New Jersey only made
Wilson more certain of his decision
to hire DeBoer to replace Todd
McLellan.
The Sharks officially announced
Thursday that DeBoer will be the
franchises eighth head coach,
seven years after DeBoer was a finalist for the job the last time it was
open.
I would just say his interview and
what hes added to himself in the last
seven years is really impressive,
Wilson said. You do learn through
good experiences, bad experiences.
To me, a really bright guy who has
taken every experience and added an
additional layer to it.
DeBoers teams did not have great
success, making the playoffs one
time in six full seasons. He was fired
midway through his fourth year in
New Jersey back in December and
said he was eager to get another
opportunity to show that he was not
the problem.
DeBoer takes over a team that
missed the playoffs for the first time
since 2003 and finished 12th in the
14-team Western Conference with
89 points. He compares the situation in San Jose to the one he inherited in New Jersey in 2011. The
Devils had just had their 13-year
playoff run snapped before DeBoer
led them to the Stanley Cup finals in
his first season where they lost to
Los Angeles in six games.

Its sure been a rough year

most of California is pulver-

If those letters toppling

pilot, is obvious, over-the-top,

and occasionally laugh-outloud cheesy.

But really, you werent
expecting Ingmar Bergman,
were you? Summers upon us,
and you could do worse than
watch the undeniably appealing Johnson try to save the day
while uttering the silliest dialogue imaginable. Plus, if you

CLASSIC MONSTERS: THE KIRK

HAMMETT COLLECTION, AT SAN
FRANCIS CO AIRPORT MUS EUM
THROUGH DEC. 6 . Universal Pictures
introduced a new genre of monster movies
in the 1920s, with silent lms such as The
Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and
Phantom of the Opera (1925), both of
which starred actor Lon Chaney. Universals
terror empire expanded in the following
decades with Dracula, Frankenstein, The
Mummy, The Werewolf, Wolfman and
Creature from the Black Lagoon. These popular monsters entertained and enthralled
audiences during the studios golden reign
of horror. Universals lms eventually aired
on television in the 1960s and 70s, introducing their classic monsters to new generations of viewers. For decades, through the
end of the 20th century, manufacturers
offered Universal monsters in the form of
toys, model kits, Halloween costumes,
paperbacks, T-shirt iron-ons, posters, and

trading cards. Classic Monsters: The Kirk

Hammett Collection, at the San Francisco
Museum, displays intriguing examples of
these marketing tie-in products. The exhibit may be viewed at the San Francisco
Airport Museum in Terminal 2, Departures
Level 2 Post-Security through Dec. 6.
THE LENDERS OBSESSION. Born
in 1962 in San Francisco, Kirk Hammett
rst picked up a guitar about a month before
his 15th birthday. He joined the heavy
metal band Metallica as lead guitarist in
1983. Long before pursuing a career in
music, Hammett developed a lifelong passion for classic horror. He recalls being
mesmerized while viewing the original
1931 Frankenstein lm on television at the
age of 6. During the second-grade, while
walking home from school, he began
spending his milk money on monster magazines at the San Francisco Comic Book
Company. To the dismay of his teachers,
Hammett brought copies of Famous
Monsters of Filmland to school with him to
read during class. His classmates soon

referred to him as the monster kid.
Hammetts obsession with Universal monsters temporarily waned in his teens, when
he became more focused on music. But in
his early 20s, after he joined Metallica,
Hammett began acquiring vintage monster
movie posters, props, original artwork,
toys and models. In 2012, Hammett
released the publication, Too Much Horror
Business, which highlights his extensive
collection of monster memorabilia.
Classic Monsters: The Kirk Hammett
Collection displays many of the objects
from the book, from his custom-made monster guitars to original artwork by Basil

Meanwhile, Emma and Rays daughter,
19-year-old Blake (Alexandra Daddario),

because I was too busy raising these. And
that, dear reader, is what we mean by cheesy

But then calamity strikes. And we do

And so, just for example, twin earthquakes

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
The council will host another public hearing June 9 to review the proposed budget
before taking a vote.
On Tuesday, the council outlined its support for priorities such as economic development, which is being considered through
the General Plan update and Belmont
Village Specific Plan; funding improvements to Ralston Avenue; supporting park
and recreation improvements as well as
financing infrastructure needs.
The tone was one of very cautious optimism. Weve done some great things like
fund our deferred sewer issues and pension
liabilities, but were still facing a $190 million in storm drain, road, sidewalk, building
and parks, deferred maintenance issues,
which is very daunting, Councilman
Charles Stone said.
Belmonts deteriorating streets were rated
the worst in San Mateo County and in the
bottom 7 percent of Bay Area cities, according to the report.

NEXT STEPS
Continued from page 1
the districts effort to shuffle its classrooms and campuses is expected to make
the College Park pitch, as part of a larger
vision shaping the future of district facilities, during the upcoming Board of
Trustees meeting Thursday, June 4.
The board will then have until an Aug. 1
deadline to hash out a plan of action,
should officials intend to pursue a bond
measure on the November ballot.
Parents of students in the Mandarin
immersion program staunchly opposed a
district consideration to move the school
to the vacant Knolls Elementary campus
in San Mateo, and allowing the College
Park campus to transition into a full-sized
neighborhood school.
Under the small school proposal, 250
students from North Central interested in
attending the neighborhood campus would
be selected randomly through a lottery
system.
To have a North Central school is a
great opportunity, said Simms.
The campus transitioned to a Mandarin
immersion program in 2006, following
myriad academic failures that plagued
College Park in its previous iteration.

It doesnt take much for us to go from

stable to being in a perilous condition and
thats the threat were facing with this
deferred maintenance problem, Fil said.
To address the costly repairs, Belmont has
begun outreach to determine residents top
priorities and will eventually seek input on
possible funding mechanisms such as a
sales tax measure.
Based on a survey of nearly 1,800 residents, the communitys top priorities were
maintaining 911 or emergency response
times, fixing the citys deteriorating
streets, improving Belmonts 50-year-old
deteriorating storm drain system, maintaining parks and open space as well as protecting senior and youth services, according to
the report.
A committee comprised of Fil, Stone,
Vice Mayor Eric Reed as well as staff from
Public Works and Planning departments are
continuing community outreach efforts
aimed at outlining eventual funding mechanisms to address overdue capital infrastructure maintenance.
The question I have is how are we going
to fix that problem while also trying to deal
with things that residents feel are also

important like maintaining our public safety service, maintaining our youth and senior services? Thats why Im glad this budget dovetails nicely into the work the committee is doing on engaging the community, Reed said. I know all of California is
suffering infrastructure problems. I think in
Belmont its particularly acute. We have the
worst roads in San Mateo County. That
poses a serious financial threat. Theres
only so long we can put it off. Im happy we
started a dialogue with the community to
figure out how were going to fix that.
Although no one would go so far as to
propose a particular funding mechanism,
officials are hoping promoting economic
development will help support city operations.
Creating more robust economic opportunities is being considered as part of the
citys General Plan update and visions for
planning a more centralized downtown.
The economic development portion definitely dovetails in with finalizing the
General Plan and our Downtown Specific
Plan, which is due to be done in 2016.
Having some sort of redevelopment of the
area around Ralston [Avenue] and El Camino

[Real] is going to be key to kick-starting

our economy, period. For years, Belmont
has deprived its own economy by failing to
engage in any sort of development along
the corridors, Stone said.
The council may also vote to restore its
contingency reserve to $100,000, the last
of which was used to leverage grants that
funded replacing nearly 1,500 streetlights
with energy-efficient LED bulbs, Fil said.
Other policy recommendations include
allocating $400, 000 toward one-time
investments for priorities like improvements to Ralston Avenue, replenishing a $1
million reserve for emergency repairs and
setting aside funds for aging fire department
facilities and apparatus, Fil said.
Weve been about mitigating risk. Weve
really tried to be careful with our funds and
being prudent. So part of it is restoring our
key reserves to help when we have these
expenses, Fil said. And were having
more of them because our infrastructure is
degrading.

Should the board elect to establish the

neighborhood school, Simms said the district has developed an educational game
plan, primarily focused on literacy, that
will work toward preventing the failures at
the school in the past.
There are good examples of schools
that have socioeconomically challenged
student bodies, she said.
The board is not expected to make a decision at the June meeting, but the need to
ask residents for a tax measure is expected,
as the Next Steps committee will likely
propose an alternative that would include
purchasing property at the Charter Square
shopping center to address growing
enrollment in Foster City elementary
schools.
The district had investigated buying the
Charter Square lot before its previous
failed bond effort in 2013.
Simms said should the board proceed
with pursuit of a tax measure on the
November ballot, the district would aim to
receive roughly $138 million from a bond
that would tax residents about $19 per
$100,000 of assessed home value.
Officials are currently in negotiations
with the owner of the Charter Square
site, and are considering buying only a
portion of the lot, which would allow
them to build a smaller school than the
24-classroom campus that had been previously considered, and save money in

the process, said Simms.

To address growing enrollment in Foster
City, school officials had also floated the
idea of purchasing some acreage in
Boothbay Park, but faced resistance from
city representatives who raised potential
challenges regarding the legality of selling city-owned park land.
One avenue the district will not go down
in addressing Foster City elementary
enrollment growth is implementing
a.m./p.m. kindergarten classes, which had
been considered as a low-cost option to
optimizing the use of district classrooms.
Simms said none of the options that will
come from Next Steps will
include evening and afternoon kindergarten classes,
because officials cannot
justify offering an alternative which may adversely
impact the education of
young students.
The more than 3,500 residents who took an online
survey weighing options to
fix overcrowded classrooms in Foster City
favored a. m. /p. m. kindergarten classes, which is
considerably cheaper than
the more than $60 million
necessary to build a new
school at Charter Square.

More elementary classrooms for Foster

City students can also be added to the campus of Brewer Island, which also be a lower
cost option to the district than purchasing
Charter Square.
The board will begin considering these
issues, as well as naming a new superintendent to replace Simms, during its meeting Thursday, June 4, in the district office
at 1170 Chess Drive in Foster City. The
meeting begins at 7 p.m.

STREET
Continued from page 1
cials agree to the encroachment.
City staff is recommending the road,
which is already one-way just south of
the project zone between Fourth and
Cypress avenues, be converted into a
one-way street while preserving onstreet parking. The City Council must
approve the proposal, which it will
likely review at its June 15 meeting,
said San Mateo Associate Engineer
Aaron Lam.
The impacts are mainly that theres
a reduction in roadway width and when
we make changes to existing conditions, now we have to update it to current standards. So even as it exists now
as a two-way street with parking, its
quite narrow and its considered substandard today. So when we make the
changes, even though its not a large
encroachment, we do need to update
[Railroad Avenue] to todays standards, Lam said.
Even if its a necessity, resident
Karen Jensen said the city should
receive something in return. Jensen,
whose home butts up against the
tracks on Claremont Street, said shes

whether legislation is too expensive

Several of the bills that stalled
Thursday attempted to counter voters
approval of Proposition 47 in
November, which reduced a range of
felony crimes to misdemeanors.
Lawmakers of both parties have said
the criminal sentencing measure has
brought about unintended consequences.
Two bills introduced by Republican
lawmakers that would have restored

notice of meetings and trees that were
initially supposed to be spared have
been cut down.
I would like to see something more
proactive from the city on behalf of
the community given that they are
going to part with some right-of-way.
Theyre going to lose some functionality of this street, Jensen said. It
just seems like a giveaway. Granted
its to another public agency, but there
should be something in return.
Caltrain is already planning street
improvements to Railroad Avenue and,
based on the new request, Lam said the
city is asking that the new wall be textured and measures to discourage graffiti be taken.
Caltrain officials say theyve
worked in conjunction with the city
and the entire project will be a benefit
to the neighborhood as it will improve
safety and reduce the number of large
vehicles that accidentally get stuck
under the low-hanging bridges.
The new retaining wall is needed to
raise the tracks, which is needed to
provide additional roadway clearance
below the bridges, which will improve
the streetscape and increase the safety
of the traveling public on the city
streets, Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha
Bartholomew wrote in an email. The
project also addresses structural deficiencies with the bridges and upgrades
the functionality of the bridges that

will increase vehicular clearance at

these crossings as much as four feet in
some sections.
Jensen said she worries theres been
a pattern of Caltrain changing its project mid-construction and remains disappointed by the number of trees that
had to be cut down.
Caltrain has long known raising the
bridges would require new retaining
walls that were originally to be constructed on the interior of the current
wall. However, because of the current
wall made of stacked boulders with no
grout or reinforcement, engineers discovered they couldnt reuse the aging
wall without compromising the structural integrity of the tracks,
Bartholomew said.
Instead, the most viable solution is
to construct a new retaining wall on
the outside of the existing wall, likely
between 6 feet to 10 feet tall,
Bartholomew said.
Ultimately, it will be up to the City
Council to clear the path for Caltrain
to continue replacing the four aging
bridges.

tion to Proposition 47.

They just made it easier for a criminal to do harm to an innocent victim,
said Melendez.
AB46 by Assemblyman Tom Lackey,
R-Palmdale, would have increased punishment for possessing date rape
drugs. However, an identical bill,
SB333 by Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, DStockton, advanced Thursday to a floor
vote in the Senate.
Law enforcement groups also wanted
to continue collecting DNA samples
from suspects convicted of crimes that
used to be felonies until Proposition
47. The Assembly Appropriations
Committee approved legislation
allowing them to do so, but limited the
DNA collections called for in AB390
by Assemblyman Jim Cooper, D-Elk
Grove, to criminals who were previously convicted of other misdemeanor
crimes including sexual assault and
domestic violence.
Legislation introduced to increase
accountability in investigations of
police shootings and to reduce tensions between minority communities
and law enforcement continued to
struggle Thursday.

The committee shelved AB86 by

Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, DSacramento, which would have required
independent investigations of police
shootings with reports made public. It
also
blocked
AB619
by
Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, DSan Diego, to require an annual report
about deaths in police custody.
The committee did move forward
another Weber bill, AB953, to collect
data on police stops across California
in an attempt to reduce racial profiling.
Equipping police officers with body
cameras has also been promoted as a
reform. But a proposal for a grant program for California law enforcement
agencies looking to add cameras was
rejected when the committee held
AB65 by Assemblyman Luis Alejo, DWatsonville.
A separate bill that would regulate
police body camera use, AB66 also by
Weber, is at a standstill. She has been
unable to reach agreement with law
enforcement and civil liberties groups
over whether officers should be
allowed to review footage before making reports.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Edith R. Douglas AKA Edith A. Refrow
Case Number: 125682
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Edith R. Douglas also
known as Edith A. Refrow. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Kevin Douglas
in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Kevin Douglas be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 16, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
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.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
