Planners weigh offices, workforce housing

Windy Hill seeks project near downtown San Mateo
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo planners unsurprisingly remarked on the citys housing shortage and downtown parking needs while reviewing a unique
mixed-use development proposal
to construct small residential units
and office space on the periphery
of downtown.
Following general encouragement
from
the
Planning
Commission during a study session Tuesday, real estate developer

Windy Hill Property Venture is

expected to quickly finalize a formal application to demolish two
small buildings along Fourth
Avenue and Claremont Street and
create a four-story structure in its
place.
Windy Hill has proposed
55,374 square feet of office space
spread between the first three stories and 15 studio and one-bedroom workforce housing units in
place of the vacant architecturally
significant Endo Automotive
building as well as another car

repair shop at 405 Fourth Ave.

While the commissioners were
eager to support this type of
smaller housing units near transit
and larger office spaces that would
allow growing companies to
remain in downtown, most were
exceedingly concerned about the
lack of on-site parking and scale
of the building that would border a
residential neighborhood.
I think this is a very interesting project that sets the tone for
how we explore what will happen

Lawsuit: Blind voters seek help Man who killed pregnant

County officials compassionate to concerns, but favor vetting system further
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Blind San Mateo County voters

filed a legal motion requesting
county officials rush an effort to
offer technology they claim would
enable the visually impaired to
vote privately in the upcoming
presidential election.
The preliminary injunction,
filed in county court, is the continuation of a lawsuit filed late last

year claiming blind voters in San

Mateo County suffered discrimination through a lack of opportunities to cast a traditional absentee
ballot without assistance.
James
Gump
and Lynda
Johnson, both of Menlo Park,
who filed suit with lawyers representing the California Council of
the Blind, asked that the county
offer voting technology which
would allow them to vote privately
and remotely as most others do.

This is the failure of the county

to make the core benefit of absentee voting available to blind voters, said attorney Mike Nunez,
who filed the case for the blind
council and the local residents.
The county should offer a system
currently available in other states
that allows blind voters to use
their computers to cast their votes
remotely, which would eliminate

Bay Area beaches receive higher water quality grades

Pillar Point Harbor still on top 10 list for pollution

Bay Area beaches received mostly high

marks for water quality in a report card

Heal the Bay. Of the graded ocean-side
beaches from Marin County to San Mateo
County, 38 of 40 received an A grade for the
high-traffic summer period of April to

Thats 95 percent, 2 percent higher than a

A suspect in the abduction of a 15-yearold Vallejo girl was apparently killed in a

Barbara County Thursday afternoon, according to the Solano County Sheriffs Office.
The suspect is dead, and at this point we
believe the suspect is probably Fernando
Castro, Solano County Sheriff Thomas

The harmful bacteria can cause illnesses

County is the No. 1 most polluted beach in

the top 10 most polluted beaches are Pillar

Point Harbor in San Mateo County and
Sunnydale Cove near Candlestick Point in
San Francisco.
Both beaches have poor water circulation,
Heal the Bay spokesman James Alamillo
said.
Heal the Bay officials said El Nino contributed to poor water quality grades at some
beaches this past winter because high
amounts of rainfall can cause older sewer
systems to inadvertently release under-treated sewage into the Bay or ocean.
Beach water quality is graded each week
and the grades can be found at beachreportcard.org.
Beaches facing San Francisco Bay had

lower grades overall than ocean-side beaches. Twenty-four of 28 Bayside beaches, or

85 percent, received A or B grades, according to the report card.
In Sonoma County, all seven monitored
beaches received grades of A+.
During last summers reporting season,
Californias drought was a major contributor to better grades because less rainfall
meant less runoff into bodies of water.
Heal the Bay officials warn that swimmers
should wait at least three days after a rain
before swimming. They also warn beachgoers to avoid going in the water at beaches
that are cut off from the ocean or Bay.
Also, swimmers should swim at least 100
yards from working storm drains and piers.

Suspects arrested in death of

California student near school
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Authorities arrested

two suspects Thursday in the shooting death
of a California student and the wounding of
a classmate near their high school.
Marin County Sheriffs Lt. Doug Pittman
said the two suspects were taken into custody after their Novato homes were raided a
day after three assailants attacked the students on a hiking trail along the edge of a
country club community.
The two students were attacked near
Novato High School, about 20 miles north
of San Francisco.
The high school canceled classes
Thursday. The school is closed Friday for
previously arranged administrative purposes. Grief counselors will be made available

for students after the holiday weekend.

Pittman declined to identify the victims.
The injured student is in a hospital with
knife and gunshot wounds and expected to
recover.
A motive was not known.
Before the raid, Pittman said the
assailants posed no threat to the community because it was an isolated incident
involving a small group of people. .
Still, Novato Unified School District said
it shuttered the high school campus to
ensure the safety of students and staff, and
because of uncertainty about the situation,
according to a letter sent to parents.
Its an incredibly tough time for our community and I know Novato will pull together, Jim Hogeboom, superintendent of
Novato Unified School District, said during

March ruling that found the $64 billion system does not violate promises made to the
voters who approved it, allowing planning
and financing to proceed.
Judge Michael Kenny said the 2008 ballot
initiative specified only that the state could
issue bonds to construct a high-speed rail
system and did not prevent modifications to
the plan voters were given.
But he agreed with Central Valley
landowners and the county that the
California High-Speed Rail Authority has
not proven the rail system will be financially viable or can meet the travel times
voters were promised.
He said the system continues to evolve so

it is premature for the court to intervene.

Opponents had sought to block the state
from spending money on the project.
We feel like it accomplishes what we
intended it to, Carlson said. They have to
comply with everything laid out not only in
that decision, but in the initiative. . . .
Essentially, thats what it said.
Lisa Marie Alley, a spokeswoman for the
California High-Speed Rail Authority,
noted that the authority has always contended it is complying with the voter initiative,
which authorized the state to sell up to $10
billion in bonds for high-speed rail and
connector projects.
I think their decision to not appeal the
outcome is a sign that the reality and the
progress of high-speed rail in the Central
Valley and across the state is becoming
more real and apparent, she said Thursday.
Still, beyond the voter-approved financing, money and political support for what
would be the nations first high-speed rail
project has lagged. California has secured
another $3.2 billion in federal matching
funds and the project is supposed to receive
money each year from the states greenhouse gas emission fund, which sold only a
fraction of the credits expected in an auction
this month.

Clinton makes campaign stop in San Jose

By Jamey Padojino
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Hillary Clinton made an appearance in

downtown San Jose at a rally where she
worked to gather support for her campaign to
become the Democratic presidential nominee.
Many people shook blue signs pasted with
Clintons campaign slogan, Fighting for
us, as she stepped onstage Thursday afternoon at Parkside Hall in her first of two Bay
Area stops.
Clinton was dressed in a navy blue pantsuit
as she waved to hundreds of people at the hall,
where she stepped out an hour later than scheduled but was met with loud cheers.
In her 30-minute remarks, Clinton made
numerous comparisons between herself and

probable Republican presidential nominee

Donald Trump.
She criticized Trump for his plans to
decrease taxes for billionaires and build a wall
along the Mexican border.
Trumps insults have attacked a variety of
groups such as immigrants and individuals
like U.S. Sen. John McCain.
Trump hasnt addressed what hed do about
education, an issue she plans to improve
through free community colleges and public
universities to make sure graduates are debtfree. She would also seek to provide more
opportunities for technical education, she
said.
We need more ways for people to get the
skills that will be competitive for themselves
and for their families, she said.

Clinton would also lower costs to help

improve the Affordable Care Act.
Before there was something called
Obamacare there was something called Hillary
care, she said.
Clinton also took time to describe what
happened in the Situation Room when she was
part of a small group of officials that assessed
the intelligence in the raid on Osama Bin
Laden in 2011.
No president wants to seek out those kinds
of situations but every president faces those
hard choices, she said, adding shed take care
of those serving in the military.
Other proposals Clinton said she would
push for included affordable Internet, more
jobs, investments in infrastructure and clean
renewable energy if she becomes president.

Clinton laid out her intentions to pass

reforms on immigration and gun safety. She
also promised to defend marriage equality and
LGBT rights.
Clinton called on voters to cast their ballots as soon as possible with the states primary election less than two weeks away.
Weve got to start right here in California
making the future that we want to see for our
country, for our children and grandchildren,
she said.
Alexis Lewis, 62, of San Mateo has seen
Clinton speak five times and has been drawn
to the presidential candidates sense of inclusion.
Everybodys a part of this great country
and she feels like weve all done our part no
matter what race you are, Lewis said.

North Dakota delegate

puts Trump over the top
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON John Trandem wanted to

be the delegate who would put Donald Trump
over the top, giving him enough delegates to
clinch the Republican presidential nomination.
But when he was contacted by an Associated
Press reporter, the AP delegate count stood at
1,235 two delegates short.
Im happy to be No. 1,237, said Trandem,
a small business owner from North Dakota.
But I wont commit until youre at 1,236.
Trandem is an unbound delegate, meaning
he is free to support the candidate of his
choice. All 28 Republican delegates in North
Dakota are unbound because the state party
declined to have a primary or caucus.
Trandem, who lives north of Fargo, was
reached on his wifes mobile phone. He was

on his way to an event where he and other

North Dakota delegates would meet Trump,
giving the billionaire businessman enough
delegates to clinch the nomination.
Wanting to break the story first, reporters
were calling and emailing unbound delegates
across the country.
Trandem was for Trump, but he didnt want
to say so unless he was Mister 1,237.
No problem, he had a solution. He handed
the phone to another delegate, state Rep. Ben
Koppleman, who was riding with him.
After Koppleman confirmed he was committed to Trump, Trandem took the phone
back.
Are you at 1,236? he asked.
Yes, he was told. Then Im the one!
Minutes later the AP declared that Trump had
secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Mysterious origins of key Clinton emails

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was supposed

to have turned over all work-related emails
to the State Department to be released to the
public. But an agency audit found at least
three emails never seen before including
Clintons own explanation of why she
wanted her emails kept private.
After 14 months of public scrutiny and
skepticism over Clintons motives in keeping her emails secret, new questions
emerged Thursday. They centered on her
apparent failure to turn over a November
2010 message in which she worried that her
personal messages could become accessible
to outsiders, along with two other messages
a year later that divulged possible security
weaknesses in the home email system she
used while secretary of state.

The Clinton campaign

has previously denied
that her home server was
breached, but newly
revealed emails show an
aide worried it could have
been compromised.
The existence of these
previously unreleased
Hillary Clinton messages which
appear to have been
found among electronic files of four former
top Clinton State Department aides
renews concerns that Clinton was not completely forthcoming when she turned over a
trove of 55, 000 pages of work-related
emails. And it has drawn fresh criticism
from presumptive Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump.
I have turned over all my emails,
Clinton said late Wednesday in an interview

with Univisions Los Angeles affiliate. No

one else can say that.
Most of those messages have been made
public by the State Department over the
past year due to both a court order and
Clintons willingness to turn them over.
But hundreds were censored for national
security reasons and 22 emails were completely withheld because the agency said
they contained top secret material a matter now under investigation by the FBI.
Clinton said in March 2015 that she
would turn over all work-related emails to
the State Department after removing private
messages that contained personal and family material. No one wants their personal
emails made public and I think most people
understand that and respect their privacy,
she said after her exclusive use of private
emails to conduct State Department business was confirmed by media reports.

Trump lays out plan to beat Clinton

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BISMARCK, N.D. Presumptive

Republican presidential candidate Donald
Trump unveiled an America first energy plan
he said would unleash unfettered production of
oil, coal, natural gas and other energy sources
to push the United States toward energy independence.
But the speech, delivered at the annual
Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in
Bismarck, North Dakota, went far beyond
energy, as Trump laid out, in his most detail to
date, a populist general election pitch against
likely rival Hillary Clinton.
Shes declared war on the American worker, Trump said of Clinton, reading from prepared remarks in a stadium packed with thousands.
Trump delivered the policy address just hours
after the Associated Press determined he had

won the number of delegates needed to clinch the

Republican presidential
nomination. He focused
on coal, in particular, to
help make his case against
Clinton,
his
likely
Democratic opponent in
the general election.
In March, Clinton said
Donald Trump
that, Were going to put a
lot of coal miners and coal companies out of
business. She has since walked back the
remark, calling it a misstatement and outlining plan to help displaced coal workers.
Trump on Thursday said he would do
everything he could free up the coal and
bring back thousands of coal jobs lost amid
steep competition from cheaper natural gas
and regulations designed to cut air pollution
and reduce greenhouse gases blamed for

global warming.
They love it, he Trump of those who work
in coal mines. Were going to bring it back
and were going to help those people because
thats what they want to do.
The comment marked a shift from a remark
Trump made in a 1990 interview with Playboy
Magazine, when he compared his career in real
estate to the story of the coal miners son.
The coal miner gets black-lung disease. His
son gets it, then his son. If I had been the son
of a coal miner, I would have left the damn
mines, he told Playboy. But most people
dont have the imagination or whatever
to leave their mine.
Trumps campaign did not immediately
respond to an inquiry about the past statement.
Trump on Thursday also promised to cancel
Paris climate agreement and stop all payments
of US tax money to a United Nations fund to
mitigate effects of climate change worldwide.

Inflation issues
on space station
By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASA hit a

snag while trying to inflate an experimental
room at the International Space Station on
Thursday and put everything on indefinite
hold.
Mission Control ordered astronaut Jeffrey
Williams to call it quits after the operation had
dragged on for more than two hours, with the
compartment barely expanding just a few
inches. Later in the day, NASA said engineers
wanted to keep monitoring the compartment
for any structural changes, and so another
inflation try would not be made Friday.
Thanks for all your patience today,
Mission Control radioed.
Thats space business, Williams replied.
NASA insisted that the six-man crew was
safe and that both the space station and the
semi-inflated pod outside were in a stable
position.
It was supposed to take barely an hour for
the commercial test chamber known as BEAM
the worlds first inflatable room for astronauts to swell four times in volume.
Everything went smoothly at first as
Williams briefly opened a valve, allowing air
to slowly flow into BEAM, short for Bigelow
Expandable Activity Module. He did that four
more times before Mission Control told him
to stop because the room had barely inflated.
After a lengthy pause and another try, NASA
called the whole thing off and engineers huddled at Johnson Space Center in Houston to
try to figure out why BEAM hadnt expanded
properly.
BEAM is the creation of Bigelow
Aerospace, founded by hotel entrepreneur
Robert Bigelow. NASA paid the North Las
Vegas company $17.8 million to test the
inflatable-habitat concept at the space station.

Japan urges G-7 to avert

another economic crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISE, Japan Japanese Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe urged fellow leaders of the Group
of Seven advanced economies Thursday to
avert another global crisis by acting to rescue the faltering global recovery.
President Barack Obama backed Abes
call, saying it was crucial not just to put
people back to work but also raise wages
and maintain the momentum of the recovery.
Weve all got a lot of work to do and we
agreed to continue to focus on making sure
that each country, based on its particular
needs and capacities, is taking steps to
accelerate growth, the U.S. president said.
Abe and his counterparts got down to
business after a morning stroll through the
grounds of Ise Jingu, a tranquil, densely
forested shrine that is considered the holiest
site in Japans indigenous Shinto religion.
During the talks, Abe compared the current global economic situation to conditions just before the 2008 financial crisis. A
G-7 summit held in northern Japan paid little attention to the trouble that was brew-

(G7) industrialized nations in Shima, Japan.
ing, he said.
We learned a lesson that we failed to
respond properly because we did not have a
firm recognition of the risks, Abe told
reporters. This time, we had a thorough discussion and recognized the major risks facing the global economy.
Japanese officials also highlighted joint
efforts on corruption, terrorism, global
health and migration which has become a

huge headache especially for European

nations as other top priorities.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said
she didnt expect any concrete offers in the
final communique from other G-7 members
to take in refugees. She did say, however,
that she had a bilateral meeting with
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and
told him how much she appreciates the large
number of refugees his country is taking in.
One has to consider that Canada isnt
right next to Syria and yet it still feels
responsible for the problems there, she
said.
Earlier, Donald Tusk, president of the
European Council, said Those who criticize
us should rather think how to increase their
assistance because what Europe provides is
already massive. And honestly speaking, if
they (the G-7) dont take the lead in managing this crisis, nobody else will. I will
appeal to G-7 leaders to take up this challenge.
He said the EU is seeking more support for
refugees and creation of resettlement
schemes and other forms of legal migration
around the world.

Thousands of migrants rescued in single day

By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROME More than 4,000 would-be

refugees were rescued at sea Thursday in one
of the busiest days of the Mediterranean
migrant crisis, and at least 20 died trying to
reach Europe as Libyan-based smugglers
took advantage of calmer seas to send desperate migrants north.
The death toll was likely to grow far higher, however, as the Libyan coast guard also
reported two overturned boats between the
coastal cities of Sabratha and Zwara. Only
four bodies were found, raising fears that the
rest of those on board had perished.
Overall, the Italian coast guard said it had
coordinated 22 separate rescue operations
Thursday that saved more than 4,000 lives.
That probably is a record, said coast
guard spokesman Cmdr. Cosimo Nicastro,
noting that previous highs have been in the
range of 5,000 to 6,000 over two days.

One 5-year-old boy got special treatment:

He was airlifted from his rescue vessel to the
island of Lampedusa, suffering from
hypothermia, Nicastro said.
At least one smugglers boat sank off
Libyas coast, and 20 bodies were spotted
floating in the sea, said Navy Lt. Rino
Gentile, a spokesman for the EUs
Mediterranean mission. Photos tweeted by
the mission showed a bright blue dinghy
submerged under the weight of migrants
waving their arms in hope of rescue as an EU
aircraft flew overhead.
None had a life jacket.
Two Italian coast guard ships and the
Spanish frigate Reina Sofia responded to the
scene. Nicastro said 96 people were rescued.
Barbara Molinario, spokeswoman for the
U.N. refugee agency in Italy, said favorable
weather conditions in May to October often
encourage migrant crossings. She said prior
to the recent rescues, some 40,000 people
had been rescued so far this year, compared

to 47,500 over the same period in 2015.

Among those coming ashore Thursday in
Sicily were the survivors of a dramatic capsizing a day earlier off Libyas coast.
Footage provided by the Italian navy
showed the steel-hulled smuggler ship
rocked under the weight of its passengers
and finally flipped, sending migrants into
the water or clambering up the side.
The Italian navy vessel Bettica brought
the survivors and five bodies ashore in Porto
Empedocle, Sicily. Red Cross workers took
at least one migrant away in a stretcher,
while rescue teams in white hazmat suits carried children down the plank to shore.
In other rescues, a Libyan navy
spokesman said a total of 766 migrants were
rescued by the Libyan coast guard on
Thursday.
Col. Ayoub Gassim said they were found in
two groups: one of 550 near the western
coastal city of Sabratha and the second of
216 off Zwara.

Vote no on Measure F

easure F in Half Moon

Bay, touted as a
Taxpayer Protection
Act, would require a supermajority
or four out of five votes of
the council to approve certain
types of financing, and specifically lease revenue bonds, to fund
city projects.
Its origination was because of
the citys action on funding a new
library in the city and its quest to
use lease revenue bonds to
finance it. Since that was proposed, the city has shifted gears
and is instead relying on a county
loan approved by the Board of
Supervisors.
Proponents of the measure suggest lease revenue bonds are dangerous implements because they
rely on anticipated revenue from
the project, and since a library is
not designed to generate revenue,
the citys overall revenue stream

Editorial
would be required to pay back the
expense. While lease revenue
bonds are common tools for
cities looking to finance projects, proponents have suggested a
higher level of approval should
be required particularly in this
instance.
Opponents, however, caution
that the ballot language could be
interpreted to mean that simple
loans or leases of everyday
items, such as copiers or city
vehicles, and even possibly the
citys overall budget, would be
subject to the four-fifths threshold. Yet proponents suggest that
is not true and also argue the language of the measure assures
that, though that is subject to
debate.
Lease revenue bonds have not

been employed in Half Moon Bay

prior and the chances of using
them on another large infrastructure or facility project is slim.
Plus, the city is no longer interested in using them to finance the
library. While the measures proponents suggest it is their effort
that forced this issue, opponents
say obtaining county loan assistance was already in the works.
But that matters little in the larger scope of this particular issue
and the citys overall ability to
decide how it wants to conduct its
finances now and into the future.
The fact of the matter is that the
city acted wisely its moving
forward on the library project
with zero-interest loan assistance
from the county and is no longer
using lease revenue bonds.

While it might be tempting to

vote yes to provide a higher
threshold for such future decisions, there is also the possibility that the ballot language might
be used to hamstring the citys
business by anyone with a litigious bent. And that is simply
not worth the risk.
The measures proponents have
the citys best interests in mind
and that is fiscal responsibility yet there is potential for
peril with its passage.
Its original aim was to stop the
use of a financing tool that is no
longer being employed, and the
citys voters would be better
served in voting no on this measure and considering the future
makeup of the council through an
election to determine if those
leaders fit their belief system on
how best to spend the citys taxpayer money.

Second Amendment woes
Editor,
Although there are 27 amendments
in the Constitution, the only one
that gets much attention is the Second Amendment. Its unbelievable
to me that in this day and age of
smartphones, computers and unlimited access to knowledge, there
are still so many lazy, uninformed
citizens who are so gullible. It
takes more than one liberal
Supreme Court judge to write the
Second Amendment out of the Constitution. The president cannot
take away your guns. To do anything to the Second Amendment,
the proposed change would have to
be approved by two-thirds of both
the House of Representatives and
the Senate. The president has nothing to do with this process,
excluding putting their signature
on the legislation. If you refuse to
learn before you vote, at least learn
to not look so stupid when you do.

A recent survey of residents

From the perspective of a local taxpayer, I believe that the costs of a

Its 2016, less and less households watch TV, and those that do
are only interested in major league
sports or the news. Hardly anyone
turns on their TV to watch a City

broadcast Planning Commission
meetings to increase viewership is
ludicrous. A collaboration between the City Council and MCTV
will surely mean further wasteful
injections of cash and public resources when renewing the

that MCTV is no longer a modern,
valuable asset to the community,
and the City Council should respond by scrapping MCTV and

Vietnam
Editor,
The war against Vietnam is truly
over. Weve gone from delivering
weapons free of charge to the natives to actually asking them to
pay us for them. Naturally, this
arrangement provides for the delivery of unused weapons and not
taking receipt of actual exploding
ones. Hopefully, you get the pun as
intended. Yes, the hard sell to the
American people when I was military age was that we had to help the
oppressed South Vietnamese resist
the terrible invaders from the North
of their own country, also Vietnamese of course.
Fifty-four-thousand dead GIs later,
we decided it best to leave and live
to open luxury hotels and vacation
spots another day.
Oh well, we cant always get it
right. How could I forget, its all
about those Chinese folks in the
area, but then we need them as well
to keep buying our bonds and trade
surpluses. It is indeed a funny
world.

The joy of
teenagers
By Kevin Skelly

he weather these past few

weeks prompted me to
prop my back office door
open and enjoy the clean air and
friendly breeze. Now, however, I
keep my door ajar so I dont miss
out on the delightful sounds of
students walking by or enjoying
PE classes and
sports on the
San Mateo
High School
stadium field.
While I dont
know their
names and
catch only
snippets of
their banter, their effusive spirits
make me smile.
This year I have seen joyful
students in so many places and in
every school in musicals,
dance performances, student
activities and sports teams. There
are also amusing moments to
observe when students are just
hanging around with friends or
engaging in playful banter.
A particular facet of San Mateo
Union High School District life I
have enjoyed is the remarkable
school spirit our students display. They cheer their classmates
at sporting events and boisterously support their thespian and
dancing friends. Our students
have more school pride in general than I have seen in my career. I
wont soon forget the faces of our
student athletes and their fans
after an upset victory against a
rival school.
I also see a different form of
this happy excitement in classrooms with skilled teachers who
celebrate learning, rigor and creativity. These maestros create a
culture of collective inquiry and
authentic curiosity. There, participants relish the conquest of a
difficult problem or a student
project that stretches participants to accomplishments that
neither student nor, perhaps,
teacher saw coming. Yes, the joy
of learning.
High school students are mercurial in no time they can go
from ecstasy to anguish. And
their high points are simply
impossible for those of us of a
certain age to match. While I
wouldnt wish myself back to
their point in life, its fun to
bask in their happy times.
And speaking of happy times,
there are few experiences in a district employees job more enjoyable than observing some of our
2,000 graduates receive their
diplomas, as I have had the pleasure of doing this week.
Just like parents, we educators
spend a lot of time worrying
about students their physical
and mental health, their often
bewildering behavior, and their
seeming irresponsibility. But
teenagers can also be so wonderfully, uniquely heartwarming and
blissful. We are at our best when
we nurture that upbeat, happy
spirit in our students in every
area of our operation. And it is
this teenage enthusiasm that propels us forward and, often, helps
us understand what it means to be
celebratory souls.

Stocks dip after two-day climb

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks barely

budged Thursday as investors moved
cautiously after two days of large
gains. Utilities and phone companies rose the most thanks to a
decline in bond yields, while chemicals companies and banks surrendered some of their recent gains.
Stocks alternated between small
losses and gains and moved more on
individual news than broad trends.
Retailers Dollar Tree and Costco
rose after they reported strong quarterly results. That made them exceptions in a difficult quarter for department stores, watch sellers, and
clothing companies.
Stocks got a small boost after
Jerome Powell, who sits on the
Federal Reserves committee that
determines interest rates, suggested
the Fed will wait a little longer
before it raises rates again.
That reduces the risk of an
unpleasant surprise at the June meeting, said Jim McDonald, chief
investment strategist for Northern
Trust. Fed Chair Janet Yellen will
speak at Harvard University on
Friday and McDonald said investors
did not want to make big moves
before they know her views.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 23.22 points, or 0.1 percent, to
17,828.29. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 0.44 points to

OTHER INDEXES

2,090.10. The Nasdaq composite

index added 6.88 points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,901.77.
Bond yields, which have risen
over the last few weeks, slumped as
prices rose. That sent utility and
phone company stocks higher
because those stocks are seen as
similar to bonds, and the lower
yields make them more appealing
compared to bonds. NextEra Energy
rose $1.59, or 1.3 percent, to
$119.82 and Con Edison picked up
94 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $72.73.
AT&T added 22 cents to $38.84.
The yield on the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note fell to 1.83 percent
from 1.87 percent.

Monsanto, which has jumped on
talks about a potential sale to
Bayer, lost $2.06, or 1.8 percent, to
$109.62. DuPont fell $1.27, or 1.9
percent, to $66.96. Citigroup lead
banks lower, giving up 83 cents, or
1.8 percent, to $46.11.
Weak earnings reports have
weighed on retailers stocks in
recent weeks. Among other problems, shoppers arent spending as
much on clothes and the strong dollar is hurting their profits and sales
overseas. Department stores have
been hit the hardest.
But on Thursday several retailers
disclosed solid results from the past
three months.
Discount retailer Dollar Tree said

its first-quarter profit more than

tripled and it raised its forecasts for
the year. Its stock gained $10.01, or
12.8 percent, to $88.37. Also jumping after a strong report was PVH,
the owner of the Calvin Klein and
Tommy Hilfiger brands, which
added $3.90, or 4.3 percent, to
$93.73. And wholesale club operator Costco rose $5.17, or 3.6 percent, to $149.71.
Like the broader market, oil
prices were little changed. U.S.
crude slipped 8 cents to $49.48 a
barrel in New York while Brent
crude, which is used to price international oils, fell 15 cents to $49.59 a
barrel in London. Oil prices are at
their highest level since October,

US durable goods orders up,

but business investment slips
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Orders to U.S. factories

for long-lasting manufactured goods rose in
April by the most since January. But much
of the strength came from a surge in the
volatile category of commercial aircraft. A
key category that tracks business investment fell for a third straight month, a sign
that manufacturing remains under stress.
Demand for durable goods jumped 3.4 percent after a 1.9 percent gain in March, the
Commerce Department said Thursday.
Orders in the closely watched category that
serves as a proxy for business investment
fell 0.8 percent after a 0.1 percent decline in
March and a 2.1 percent plunge in February.
Manufacturing has been under pressure as
weak global demand and a strong dollar
have hurt exports and falling oil prices have
triggered cutbacks at energy companies.

The economy is not firing

on all cylinders if business
investment spending in
capital equipment is so weak.
Chris Rupkey, MUFG Union Bank

Economists said a third straight decline in

the business investment area was troubling.
The consumer seems to be spending
freely, but business investment in the economys future is not so hot right now, said
Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at
MUFG Union Bank in New York. The economy is not firing on all cylinders if business investment spending in capital equipment is so weak.
The rise in last months orders was led by
a 65 percent surge in demand for commercial
aircraft a category that is extremely
volatile from month to month.

Orders for motor vehicles and parts rose

2.9 percent, rebounding from a 3.2 percent
drop in March. Total orders in all transportation categories were up 8.9 percent.
Excluding transportation, overall orders
would have been up a modest 0.4 percent.
Demand for primary metals such as steel
was flat in April while orders for machinery
fell slightly. Demand for computers and
related products rose solidly, while orders
for appliances and other electrical equipment inched up.
The outlook for U.S. manufacturing this
year remains uncertain. Some economists
say they think factories will see a pickup in
demand because the dollar has stopped
strengthening against other currencies. The
global economy also seems to have stabilized after a shaky start to the year.
But other analysts say they worry about
how long it may take for manufacturing to
bounce back.

Gawker may be looking to sell

after losing Hulk Hogan case
By Tali Arbel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The embattled online

media company Gawker Media has hired an
investment banker to explore its options,
including a possible sale.
Two months ago, Gawker lost a $140 million invasion-of-privacy suit against Hulk
Hogan over a sex tape of the wrestler that
the site posted online. It emerged this week
that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel
was behind the suit . He told The New York
Times that he has bankrolled lawyers to

mount cases against

Gawker because one of
the companys blogs, the
now-defunct Valleywag,
posted a story in 2007
that said he was gay. The
company also wrote
other articles that he said
he considered critical of
Hulk Hogan his friends and others.
Gawker said Thursday
that it expects to prevail in an appeal of the
Hogan verdict and that its always said it is
exploring contingency plans. The compa-

ny would not say when the banker, Mark

Patricof of Houlihan Lokey, was hired,
other than to say recently. The Wall Street
Journal and the New York Post earlier
reported that Gawker was interested in a
sale.
Gawker hasnt said whether it could afford
to pay the $140 million verdict. During the
trial in Florida in March, Hogans lawyer
said Gawker Medias gross revenue in 2015
was $48.7 million. Lawyers said the company was worth $83 million.

$50 a barrel since July.

Stocks have risen to some of their
highest levels of 2016, driven by
investors encouraged by strong
monthly home sales in the U.S. and
economic support for Greece. But
similar news on Thursday, including
a drop in new applications for unemployment benefits and further
growth in pending home sales, didnt make much of a difference for
Wall Street. And a government
report showed that a measurement of
business investment fell for the
third month in a row. That suggests
manufacturing is still under pressure.
Jewelry company Signet Jewelers
slumped after it posted weaker-thanexpected sales and lowered its projections for sales at older stores.
The stock lost $11.37, or 10.5 percent, to $97.
Personal computer and printer
maker HP reported a bigger profit
than analysts had forecast, and it
gave a solid outlook for the year.
The stock climbed 84 cents, or 6.9
percent, to $13.04.
U.S. Foods Holding, the secondbiggest food service distributor in
the country, went public with a
$1.02 billion initial public offering. That was one of the largest
IPOs of the year, as the market turmoil over the last few months has
made companies hesitant to go public. The stock jumped $1.91, or 8.3
percent, to $24.91.

Business in brief
Starboard pushes to
toss Depomeds entire board
NEW YORK Activist investor
Starboard Value said Thursday that it wants
to hold a meeting with Depomeds shareholders to discuss dumping all of the pharmaceutical companys board members and
replace them with its own candidates.
In a letter to Depomeds shareholders,
Starboard said Depomed is undervalued and
its board members dont have shareholders
best interest.
Depomed, based in Newark, California,
said in a statement Thursday that its board
and management is committed to creating
value.
Starboard has a nearly 10 percent stake in
Depomed. It has been pushing to replace the
board since last month.
Starboard has six candidates for the board,
including Starboard CEO Jeffrey Smith.
Others include former Endo Pharmaceuticals
Inc. CEO Peter Lankau and former Food and
Drug Administration Deputy Commissioner
Mary Pendergast.
Depomeds products include products for
pain and neurology related disorders.
Shares of Depomed Inc. slipped 3 cents to
$19.94 in afternoon trading Thursday. Its
shares are down 3 percent over the past year.

Microsoft, Facebook team up

to build undersea Internet cable
Microsoft and Facebook are building a new
underwater Internet cable that will cross the
Atlantic Ocean, carrying customers data
between North America and Southern Europe.
The giant tech companies say they helped
design the high-speed cable to carry data for
their growing numbers of online consumers
and commercial customers. The project will
be operated by an affiliate of Spanish
telecommunications firm Telefonica, which
will sell unused capacity on the cable to
other customers. It will connect data hubs in
Northern Virginia and Bilbao, Spain.
Internet companies often pay to use cables
owned by telecommunications providers,
but the new project wont be the first to be
owned by a U.S. tech company. Google has
invested in subsea projects across the
Pacific.

Not even the sight of Helen Sewart being helped from the
field after suffering an ankle injury could dampen Half Moon
Bays mood.
In the fifth inning of No. 2 seeded Half Moon Bays 5-2
comeback victory over No. 3 Notre Dame-Belmont in the
Central Coast Section Division III softball semifinals
Thursday night at Hawes Park, the game stopped cold when
Sewart injured her ankle while sliding into home plate.
After a five-minute play stoppage, not only was the junior helped from the field. She ultimately had to be carried
from the park, to her parents car, following the game.
None of that, however, prevented Sewart from celebrating
with her team as the Cougars (22-4) advanced to the CCS

Division III championship game Saturday to take on Notre

Dame-Salinas at 10 a.m. at San Joses PAL Stadium in a quest
for the programs second ever CCS title.
It did dampen the mood a little bit until we realized we
have to pick Helen up, Cougars starting pitcher Grace
Garcia said. Were going to do this for Helen.
Garcia overcame a shaky first inning to lead her team to
the win. NDB (20-8-1) scored two runs in the first. But not
only did Garcia respond by hanging six zeroes on the scoreboard thereafter, she also produced the game-winning hit
with an RBI single in the fourth.
Thats not usually me, Garcia said of her offensive
exploits. Im the No. 9 batter. It was pretty great though.
It felt really good.

OAKLAND Were not going home!

Were not going home! Stephen Curry
screamed at the top of his lungs.
No, his Golden State Warriors are going
back to Oklahoma City, after keeping their
title reign and the winningest season in NBA
history alive for at least one more game.
Curry scored 31 points, raising his arms in
the early moments to awaken Golden States
raucous crowd, and the defending champions
staved off elimination with a 120-111 victory over the Thunder on Thursday night in
Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
For all the speculation about the current
state of Currys beat-up body that troublesome ankle, sore knee or tender elbow he
did it all.
I thought he looked like 91 percent,
coach Steve Kerr cracked. He came out and
played a really good game. Thats all I can
tell you. Hes going to compete every night.
He had an excellent night and helped us get it
done.
The MVP made a snazzy layup late and
dished out six assists, while Klay Thompson
added 27 points as Golden State sent the best
the best-of-seven series back to Oklahoma
City for Game 6 on Saturday night. Golden
State trails 3-2 and is trying to become just
the 10th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit.

Bradleys hitting streak ends at 29 games

BOSTON Jackie Bradley Jr. of the

Boston Red Sox had his hitting streak ended
at 29 games on Thursday night and teammate
Xavier Bogaerts took over the mantle of the
longest current streak in the majors by keeping his alive at 19 games.

Baylor fires Williams sisters both win 6-2, 6-1 at French Open
coach amid
sex scandal
By Howard Fendrich

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Ken Starr, who zealously pursued charges against a sitting U.S.
president in a White House sex scandal, was
stripped of his job as president of Baylor
University on Thursday after a scathing
review found that under his leadership, the
school did little to respond to accusations of
sexual assault involving members of its
vaunted football program.
The board of regents at the nations
largest Baptist university
said Starr will vacate the
presidency on May 31
and stay on as chancellor
and law school professor,
jobs that will not include
any operational duties
for the school.
Baylor also fired football coach Art Briles and
Art Briles
placed athletic director
Ian McCaw on probation after an external
investigation found the actions of football
staff and athletics leadership in some
instances, posed a risk to campus safety and
the integrity of the university.
The report didnt identify specific cases,
but two football players have been convicted of sexual assault since 2014. In the past
year, there have been multiple reports of
other alleged assaults and women who said
the school did nothing to help.
Were deeply sorrowful (for) these
events, Baylor regents chairman Richard
Willis said. Were honestly just horrified.
The review by Philadelphia-based law firm
Pepper Hamilton found that under Starr,
school administrators discouraged students
from reporting or participating in student conduct reviews of sexual assault complaints and
even contributed to or accommodated a hostile environment against the alleged victims.

PARIS First it was Serena Williams turn

to overpower an opponent 6-2, 6-1 on Court
Suzanne Lenglen.
Shortly after that was over Thursday, her
older sister Venus entered the very same
French Open arena and won by the very same
score.
A bit like old times, nest-ce pas?
Its a little surreal sometimes, because it
has been so long. Theyve both been out
here almost 20 years, said their sister, Isha
Price, who was in the stands for both matches.
It was nice to have them play back-toback and not have to move, Price added with
a laugh. Its so interesting that their scoreline was the same. It was really nice to be
there for that.
Back in 2002, when neither was yet 22,
the American siblings contested the final at
Roland Garros, one of their eight all-in-thefamily Grand Slam title matches and they
havent played each other at any stage in
Paris since.
Thats due in part to Venus troubles at the
clay-court tournament, where, now nearly
36, she moved into the third round for the
first time since 2010 by relinquishing only
three games in 54 minutes against American
qualifier Louisa Chirico. Defending champion Serenas similarly simple victory against
81st-ranked Teliana Pereira of Brazil lasted
12 minutes longer.
The sisters No. 1-seeded Serena, No. 9
Venus even got a chance to cross paths and
catch up briefly between their nearly identical matches. Serena faced one break point;
Venus zero. Serena compiled a 31-6 edge in
winners; Venuss margin was 22-6. Serena
made 17 unforced errors; Venus 15.
If some spectators were pleased that a single ticket allowed them to see one Williams,
then the other, the players themselves said
they dont really find the time to savor such
events.
Were unfortunately really focused on our
match. And I say unfortunately, because in a
few years, well be like, Wow, thats a great

Brazil in her 6-2, 6-1 win Thursday at the French Open.
Right: Venus Williams during her win in straight sets
over Louisa Chirico of the U.S.
moment, the 34-year-old Serena said. But
right now, we have to be focused on what we
want to do in going out there and winning the
match.
Venus agreed.
We focus more on the match at hand, and
we both have a job to do, and thats to try to
get to the next round, she said. We focus
less on the significance of us playing and
more of like, Can you win this match?
Each Williams next plays a French opponent: Serena against No. 26 Kristina
Mladenovic, Venus against unseeded Alize
Cornet.
Its going to be very complicated,
Mladenovic said.
It would take three more victories apiece,
but on the half of the draw already missing
No. 3 Angelique Kerber and No. 5 Victoria
Azarenka there is the potential for a
Williams vs. Williams semifinal next week.
They have not met that deep into a major
tournament in seven years, although Serena
did defeat Venus in the U.S. Open quarterfinals in September.
One match after that, of course, Serenas
bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam ended. So
did her pursuit there of Steffi Grafs Open-era
record of 22 Grand Slam titles, an effort
Serena has resumed at Roland Garros.
When it comes to milestones, Novak

Djokovic and Rafael Nadal both achieved

notable ones Thursday.
No. 1 Djokovic became the seventh man
with 50 match wins in the French Open,
moving to the third round by overcoming 42
unforced errors on a windswept afternoon to
beat 161st-ranked qualifier Steve Darcis of
Belgium 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. Next on Djokovics
agenda: joining the other half-dozen men on
that list with at least one championship at
Roland Garros.
The fourth-seeded Nadal, meanwhile,
earned his the 200th Grand Slam victory of
his career, something seven other men
including Djokovic have done.
At the outset against 99th-ranked Facundo
Bagnis of Argentina, a fellow lefty, Nadal
was a little tentative and dropped 10 of the
first 13 points to trail 0-2, love-30.
True, Nadal acknowledged, I started
slow.
Didnt take the nine-time French Open
champion long to get going, though. He
reeled off 14 of 15 games to seize control
along the way to winning 6-3, 6-0, 6-3.
Nadal improved to 200-30 in majors, a
winning percentage of .870, and 72-2 at
Roland Garros.
The only thing I know is that I have
reached the third round, Nadal said. Thats
the only thing that matters for me.

Police investigating Minnesota

wrestlers amid drug allegations
By Jon Krawczynski and
Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS

The
University of Minnesota police
department is investigating allegations that several Golden
Gophers wrestlers have been
involved in selling and using
drugs.
The school has provided information to the police for use in the
investigation,
a
university
spokesman said Thursday.
The Star Tribune of Minneapolis
quoted an anonymous wrestler on
the team who said coach J
Robinson found out about the
wrestlers plans to sell the antianxiety prescription drug Xanax.
The newspaper reports that
Robinson collected about 1,400
pills from his wrestlers and did not
report the issue to the university or
to the police.
The university takes allegations of this nature seriously, and
upon receiving information the
university provided it to UMPD,
Minnesota spokesman Evan
Lapiska said. In consultation
with UMPD, the university is

allowing
for
the legal investigation to conclude
before
conducting its
own internal
investigation.
Robinson
has spent 30
years coaching
J Robinson
the
Gophers
wrestlers and has won three
national championships. The
Associated Press left a message
with him seeking comment.
Its the latest troubling allegation to emerge from the Gophers
athletic department. Former athletic director Norwood Teague
resigned in disgrace last year after
a sexual harassment scandal, the
mens basketball team has dealt
with several off-the-court incidents with its players and the
school hired Syracuse athletic
director Mark Coyle earlier this
month to clean up the mess.
The anonymous wrestler told
The Star Tribune that four of his
teammates had about 2,500 pills
of Xanax that they planned to sell
out of their campus dormitory.
When Robinson found out about

it, he called a team meeting to tell

the wrestlers to bring him the
drugs and he would dispose of them
and ordered mandatory urine tests.
Robinson has been a lightning
rod gure on campus for decades,
both for his incredible success in
building the wrestling program
into one of the best in the nation
and for his outspoken and controversial nature.
He has long been a critic of Title
IX, which was enacted to provide
equal opportunities for men and
women on campuses, saying that
womens teams received unfair
advantages over mens teams.
The school once investigated
Robinson for forcing participants
in his wrestling camp to write an
anti-Title IX letter to send to elected ofcials.
He was also investigated in 2005
after three high school players
were treated at a hospital after
becoming overheated in a latenight workout at a hockey camp
overseen by Robinson. He also
ran youth camps for basketball and
wrestling.
Robinson signed a contract
extension last summer that runs
through 2020.

Tennis brief
Sharapova on Russias
provisional Olympic team

MOSCOW Russia has included Maria Sharapova on its preliminary team for the Olympic tennis
tournament in August despite her
provisional suspension for failing a drug test.
Sharapova has been suspended
since March after testing positive
for the banned substance meldonium at the Australian Open in
January, but the Russian Tennis
Federation hopes she could be
cleared in time to play in Rio de
Janeiro.
Federation president Shamil
Tarpishchev tells the Tass news
agency that Sharapova was on a
preliminary squad list, but if
she isnt able to compete, then
the next-highest player on the
ranking list will go into the
team.

NEW YORK Stephen Curry

has knocked down another honor.

the Golden State Warriors to a
record 73 wins in the regular season was named to the All-NBA first
team Thursday. The leagues MVP
was the only player named on all
129 ballots in voting by a panel
of writers and broadcasters.
Curry was joined on the first
team by Clevelands LeBron
James, Oklahoma Citys Russell
Westbrook, San Antonios Kawhi
Leonard and the Los Angeles
Clippers DeAndre Jordan.
James is a first-team choice for
the 10th time in 13 seasons. Curry
is on the first team for the second
straight year, while Westbrook,
Leonard and Jordan are among the
top five for the first time.
On the second team are: Thunder

Julio Urias, the Dodgers top pitching prospect at age 19, is slated to make
his major league debut Friday against the Mets in New York.

Teen sensation Urias to

make debut for Dodgers
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Pitcher Julio

Urias is set to make his highly
anticipated major league debut for
the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday
night in New York against the
Mets.
The 19-year-old left-hander is 41 with a 1.10 ERA at Triple-A
Oklahoma City, where he has a 27inning scoreless streak and 44
strikeouts in 41 innings.
The team announced Thursday
that Urias will replace lefty Alex
Wood, who was scratched with left
triceps soreness. Wood is expected
to make his next start on Monday
in Chicago against the first-place
Cubs.
Urias will be the first 19-yearold to pitch for the Dodgers since
fellow
Mexican
Fernando
Valenzuela, who was promoted to
the majors in September 1980.
The
following
year,
Fernandomania was born and
Valenzuela went on to win the NL
rookie of the year and Cy Young
awards. Urias will be the first teen
to start for the team since Dick
Calmus in 1963.
Urias is one of the top pitching
prospects in the majors. He was
invited to spring training with the
Dodgers for the second straight
year in February and was assigned

to Triple-A to start the season.

The Dodgers have carefully managed Urias since signing him
shortly after his 16th birthday,
discovering him on the same
scouting trip to Mexico on which
they signed Cuban outfielder
Yasiel Puig in June 2012.
The teen has never pitched more
than 87 2/3 innings as a pro and
its unlikely he will become a permanent starter this season despite
the injuries that have decimated
the rotation. The club could add
him to the bullpen, something
manager Dave Roberts has mentioned, as a way to limit his
innings.
Urias had surgery last season to
remove a benign mass from his
left eye, which is nearly closed as
a result.
He played for the World team at
the 2014 All-Star Futures Game
and was chosen as the Dodgers
organizational minor league
pitcher of the year. He was invited
to the teams major league spring
training camp last year, but was
the first to be cut from the roster
after pitching in two games with a
4. 50 ERA. He was then reassigned to the Dodgers minor
league camp.
Last year, Urias pitched at DoubleA, where he was 3-4 with a 2.77
ERA in 13 starts for the Tulsa
Drillers, and later at Oklahoma City.

NEWBERRY
Continued from page 14
the school, which opened a $250 million
stadium on campus two years ago, of tens of
millions of dollars. Indeed, Baylor tipped off
its defensive position Thursday, moving to
fire coach Art Briles and reassigning university President Kenneth Starr in what was a
clear attempt to mitigate the damage.
If Baylor doesnt do the right thing, that
would leave it to the NCAA to consider the
death penalty for only the second time in its
history, at least putting the Bears out of the
football business for a season or two.
Sound harsh?
Not so much when you consider the Texas
schools history.
The cesspool that was the mens basketball
program bubbled up after the 2003 murder of
player Patrick Dennehy by one of his teammates, Carlton Dotson. That tragedy
unleashed a probe into allegations ranging
from rampant drug use among players to
improper payments by the coaching staff.
Before being forced out, scoundrel coach
Dave Bliss was even recorded trying to per-

SPORTS
suade players to lie about
illegal payments to
Dennehy, to say he got
the money dealing drugs
really, about as low as
one can go to cover his
tracks. The Bears didnt
get the death penalty, but
they came awful close: a
Kenneth Starr reduced schedule, crippling scholarship losses,
and probation through 2010.
Well, here we go again.
This latest case has been brewing since last
year, when Starr best known as the investigator in the Monica Lewinsky scandal
asked a law firm to review Baylors handling
of sexual assault cases following allegations
that the school brushed aside several incidents involving football players.
There were plenty of reasons for officials
to look the other way, all of them involving
dollar signs. Under Briles, the Bears had
become a college football powerhouse, a
team known for its high-powered offense and
winner of two Big 12 championships in the
last three seasons. No one wanted to cripple
the goose that laid the golden egg.
The cover-up began to fall apart when former football player Sam Ukwuachu, who had
transferred to Baylor after being booted out

THE DAILY JOURNAL

of Boise State, was convicted last August of sexually assaulting a female

soccer player. The allegations kept coming: At
least seven other women
have come forward,
claiming the school
ignored their rape claims
Tevin Elliott against players.
But really, this case
goes back to early 2014, when Tevin Elliott,
who had been one of Baylors top defensive
players, was convicted of two counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 20 years in
prison. Sadly, no one outside of Waco paid
much attention. How many women mightve
been spared a lifetime of pain if someone in a
position of authority had taken note of
Briles increasingly out-of-control program,
not just how many games the Bears were winning?
The law firms findings and, remember,
these come from investigators hired by the
school reveal a callous disregard for
women being terrorized by the football team.
Coaches and athletic administrators ran their
own sham investigations, which come
across as nothing more than an attempt to
discredit those making the claims. In some
cases, no one outside the athletic department

was informed of what was going on.

The choices made by football staff and
athletics leadership, in some instances,
posed a risk to campus safety and the integrity of the university, the report said.
The school, in its own statement, called it
a fundamental failure.
Sounds more like a lack of institutional
control.
Those ominous words bring us back to the
NCAA.
For the most part, the governing body
directs its enforcement wrath toward such
heinous offenses as players selling off their
jerseys to earn a little extra meal money.
More serious cases see the academic fraud
scandal at North Carolina generally drag
on for years, often resulting in sanctions that
dont come close to matching the crime.
Yes, there was that time the NCAA dropped
the hammer on Penn State for allowing child
predator-slash-football coach Jerry Sandusky
to roam free on campus. But in the end, the
organization meekly reversed course, vacated
most of the sanctions and allowed the
Nittany Lions to carry on as if nothing happened.
Well, heres another case that calls for the
harshest of punishments.
If the death penalty isnt appropriate now,
it never will be.

the playoffs for the Lightning and Andrei
Vasilevskiy made 37 saves, but it wasnt
enough to send Tampa Bay back to the Cup
Final for a second straight year. Captain
Steven Stamkos had two shots in his return
from a two-month layoff while dealing with
a blood clot.
The Penguins avoided elimination with a
borderline dominant 5-2 victory in Game 6
that provided a snapshot of the formula that
fueled their rise through the Eastern
Conference standings shortly after coach
Mike Sullivans arrival in mid-December.
Sullivan calls it playing the right way, a
way abetted by the influx of speed brought
in by general manager Jim Rutherford. That

group includes Rust, who forced his way

onto the roster thanks to feverish skating
and a relentlessness that belies his nondescript 5-foot-11 frame.
That effort or desperation level as
captain Sidney Crosby calls it provided
the Penguins with the boost they needed to
overcome a bit of unfortunate history and
the return of Stamkos. Pittsburgh had
dropped five straight Game 7s at home,
including a 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay in 2011
in a series in which both Crosby and Evgeni
Malkin missed due to injury. That loss had
become symbolic of the franchises postseason shortcomings following that gritty
run to the Cup in 2009 that culminated with
a Game 7 win in Detroit that was supposed
to be the launching pad of a dynasty.
Seven long years later, with an entirely
new cast around mainstays Crosby, Evgeni
Malkin, Kris Letang, Chris Kunitz and
Marc-Andre Fleury, the Penguins are finally
heading back.

Judge hears arguments on

U.S. womens right to strike
By Michael Tarm
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO A federal judge heard

arguments Thursday on whether the
world champion U.S. womens soccer team has the right to strike for
improved conditions and wages
before this
years
Summer
Olympics, with her pending decision potentially carrying big consequences for American soccer.
An hours worth of arguments in
the civil case in federal court in
Chicago focused on whether an
existing agreement between the
governing body of U.S. soccer and
the union bars the women from
striking in the lead up to the
Olympics in Rio, where the
American women would seek their
fourth straight Olympic gold medal.
A strike, the Chicago-based U.S.
Soccer Federation has said in filings, could force the womens team
to withdraw from the Olympics
all to the substantial detriment of
all soccer-related bodies in the U.S.
and to the growth of girls and
womens soccer in general.
The union wants the option of
striking, though it hasnt said for
sure that it will strike. Many players have voiced concern over gender
equity in soccer.
U.S. District Judge Sharon
Johnson Coleman didnt say when
she might rule, though the federation
and the U.S. Womens National
Soccer Team Players Association
have both indicated they hope she
does so soon.
Coleman referred during the hear-

ing to the issue looming over the

case, saying, Obviously, the big
question is are they going to
strike? She didnt ask the union
lawyers to answer that question,
however.
Richard Nichols, the executive
director of the players association,
clearly left the door open to a strike.
Wed really like to be able to get
a deal done before the Olympics so
that we dont have to contemplate
any other action, he said. But he
also said: Were going to reserve
our rights to do whatever we need to
do to affect equal pay.
Federation lawyer Russell Sauer
Jr. told Coleman that a no-strike
clause is implied in a still-valid
memorandum of understanding
signed by the sides in 2013.
A lawyer for the union balked at
that claim, saying the federation
failed to secure a no-strike clause in
writing three years ago and cant
argue now a provision is implied.
What is happening here is they
screwed up, Jeffrey Kessler told the
court. These are sophisticated
counsel. They cant come in here
and say, Oops.
Asked by the judge about why the
federation didnt insist on a nostrike clause in the memorandum,
another federation lawyer, Amy
Quartarolo, said it was made clear in
emails and other communications
that a no-strike provision in old
collective bargaining deals carried
over into the 2013 agreement.
I dont think that anyone messed
up, said Quartarolo. There was a
meeting of the minds.

HMB
Continued from page 11
Half Moon Bays quest for the title started
back in January, a goal inspired by the
schools football team capturing the CCS
Division V championship. And while HMB
softball hasnt brought home a section title
since 1988, the dream steadily became a
reality as the Cougars emerged as a contender in the mighty Peninsula Athletic
League bay Division.
I think it was the middle of January, one
of our seniors said I want a parade,
because the football team, when they won
[CCS], they got a parade, HMB first-year
head coach Claire Rietmann-Grout said.
So, we were like, yeah! That sounds
good! So we had a goal. Then about March,
we saw our hitting was coming together, we
saw our defense was coming together, and
we were like, we really can get that
parade.
The Cougars had to earn the opportunity
though against an NDB team that brought
its A game Thursday.
The Tigers jumped out to an early lead,
taking advantage of walks to Danica
Kazakoff and Marina Sylvestri when Chloe
Stogner knocked them both in with a sharp
two-run single to center.

DUBS
Continued from page 11
None of us want to go home, Thompson
said. Were having too much fun out there.
Kevin Durant scored 40 points and Russell
Westbrook added 31 points, eight assists,
seven rebounds and five steals for the
Thunder, trying for the fifth NBA Finals
appearance in franchise history and chasing
just the second championship after the
1978-79 Seattle SuperSonics won it all.
Hes a tornado, Kerr said of Westbrook.
The record-setting, 73-win Warriors, coming off their first back-to-back defeats all
season, had been blown out in two losses at
Oklahoma City by a combined 52 points.
Durants 3-pointer with 4:34 left got the
Thunder within 103-98, then Curry answered
with a three-point play.
Curry scored seven points in a 58-second
stretch of the second quarter, but the Thunder
didnt go away easily.

SPORTS
But after the Cougars threatened in the
first inning stranding two runners in
scoring position against NDB starting
pitcher Madi Earnshaw the mighty HMB
lineup broke through in the second to tie it.
Olivia Hedding and Sewart drew back-toback one-out walks, and Abby Donovan
reached on a two-out infield single to load
the bases. Then Lily Moffitt who was a
perfect 4 for 4 in the game beat out a slow
roller over the middle for an RBI infield single. Junior No. 3 hitter Ally Sarabia followed with a line-drive RBI single to left to
score Sewart, tying the game at 2-2.
In the fourth, HMB jumped on top.
Hedding who scored three runs in the
game led off with a long double up the
left-center gap. Then with NDB reliever
Sofia Magnani just into the game, Garcia
produced from the bottom of the order by
shooting an RBI single down the right-field
line, giving the Cougars a 3-2 lead.
Garcia returned to the circle in the top of
the fifth seeming to sense the kill. The
sophomore right-hander went on to face the
minimum through the final three frames,
thanks to some help from her middle
infield.
After Kazakoff reached on a one-out bunt
single for NDB in the fifth, Moffitt at shortstop turned in a thrilling double play to end
the inning.
At the plate, Bianca Magnani initially
squared to bunt, but pulled the bat back and
shot a hard grounder over the middle. With
I liked our will, I liked our fight, Kerr
said. We were embarrassed in OKC the last
couple games.
Trailing 58-50 at halftime, Oklahoma
City came out of the break with a 9-2 run.
Westbrooks 3-pointer with 6:06 left in the
third put Oklahoma City ahead 68-67 for its
first lead of the night. But Golden State led
81-77 going into the fourth and began the
final period with an 8-0 burst.
We didnt shoot a particularly good percentage when we got into the lane and got
into the deep paint, Thunder coach Billy
Donovan said. We had our opportunities.
Curry shot 9 for 20 and also had five
steals, while Thompson had his 11th 20point game for the second straight postseason despite shooting 2 for 9 from 3-point
range. Draymond Green had 11 points and
13 rebounds.
Kerr figured his Warriors might have an
edge against the percentages of teams having trailed 3-1 because theyre the defending
champs and were playing at home, where
they have been nearly unbeatable.
He wasnt surprised to see this team
respond so well.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Half Moon Bay starter Grace Garcia went the

distance to propel the Cougars to Saturdays
CCS Division III title game against ND-Salinas.
Moffitt on the move to cover second for the
potential bunt, the sophomore was able to
knock the ball down then recover to get
Kazakoff on a bang-bang play at second;
she then fired to first to get Bianca Magnani
by a whisker at first base.
We played with great desperation, Kerr
said. I knew how we would play. This is a
championship team.
Kerr called for center Andrew Bogut to do
more and the 7-footer delivered with a playoff career-high 15 points and 14 rebounds
for his second double-double this postseason and seventh of his career.
Marreese Speights had a pair of threepoint plays on follow shots and a 3 in the
second quarter to give Golden State a nice
lift off the bench. He had nine points in four
minutes during that stretch and 14 points
overall for his fifth double-digit scoring
game this postseason.
With his 1,248th career postseason point
in the third, Curry passed Wilt Chamberlain
(1,246) for second place on the franchises
playoff scoring list.
Thats who he is, thats what hes done,
thats whats made him a very good player,
Donovan said.

Kerrs message
Coach of the Year Kerr sent a message to
Warriors fans Wednesday on social media
requesting they arrive on time Thursday and

Luckily Lily started taking off to second

to cover the bunt and it was just perfect,
said Donovan, HMBs second baseman.
She was there, got the ball and turned two.
So, yeah, that was awesome.
The Cougars produced two insurance runs
in the sixth. It looked to be three until
Sewarts injury at the plate, as the ball got
away from the catcher Kazakoff as Sewart
slid into the plate. But she never reached it,
instead writhing in pain as the Tigers
defense recovered and tagged her out.
Were hoping for it to be just a sprain,
Rietmann-Grout said. We probably wont
know until [Friday].
In the seventh, NDB had a couple of hard
hit balls to the right side of the infield, but
Donovan made two tough defensive plays
look easy, including a nice scoop to toss to
first for the final out of the game.
It just had to end, Donovan said. We
had to win this. No backing down.
The loss marks the end of the line for the
Tigers, and their four seniors Sofia
Magnani, Olivia Geronimo, Sofia Reyes
and Reina Vierra.
We knew it was going to be tough, thats
why its the playoffs, NDB head coach Tara
Straube said. We know theyre a great team
and we battled. I told the girls to leave
everything out on the field and I didnt see
them ever give up in that game. So, I cant
be more proud of them. It just didnt go our
way this time.
bring their best.
The always-raucous supporters obliged.
Its a big game. We need our crowd behind
us, Kerr said beforehand.

X-Men the latest superhero blockbuster

By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Its a bit of bad timing for X-Men:

Apocalypse coming third in this summers
superhero lineup.
Director Bryan Singer invigorates his latest X-Men film with vintage 1980s charm in
an origin story about how the mutant supergroup unites and divides in response to the
villain Apocalypse. And while battles
between heroes are an X-Men tradition, warring among the ranks has become a superhero trope this season, at play in both
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and
Captain America: Civil War.
Like similarly dressed beauties in celebrity magazines, it becomes a case of who wore
it better, and thats an unfair burden on what
is ultimately a satisfying conclusion to the
rebooted trilogy. Even with an ensemble
that includes Jennifer Lawrence and Michael
Fassbender and Poe from Star Wars (Oscar
Isaac, unrecognizable as Apocalypse), it
cant match the magic of the latest Avengers
movie, with multiple characters carefully
inter-developed over a dozen films.
X-Men: Apocalypse is also a prequel, so
the fate of its characters isnt a mystery.
Thats not to say Apocalypse isnt a fun
flick on its own. It has a grand scope, great
special effects and doesnt require knowledge
of its predecessors to enjoy. Those who
know the characters get even more payoff.
As hinted at during the credits for 2014s
X-Men: Days of Future Past, this film
brings on Apocalypse, a super-powered
mutant who can transfer his essence from
one being to another and was revered as a
god when he existed millennia ago.
Resurrected in 1983 after centuries of lying
dormant, Apocalypse is disgusted at the
state of the world. He wants to wipe out
greedy, intolerant humans and restore the
mutants to their deified status. He magnifies
the power of any mutant who sides with him.
Meanwhile, Professor X (James McAvoy)
has renewed his focus on his School for
Gifted
Children,
where
Scott
Summers/Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Jean
Grey (Sophie Turner) are among the students
learning to control their powers. The professors
friend
and
rival,
Erik
Lehnsherr/Magneto (Fassbender), put his
mutant powers aside to live as a family man
in Poland. But when personal tragedy
strikes, he goes on a destructive streak.
Magneto and other disillusioned mutants Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Angel (Ben Hardy)
and Psylocke (Olivia Munn in a very tiny
outfit) join forces with Apocalypse.
Professor X and his protgs, including
Raven/Mystique (Lawrence) and fellow blue
person Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler (Kodi
Smit-McPhee), unite to try to stop them.
A muscular, mutton-chopped X-Man
here referred to as Weapon X isnt part of
the fight, but thrills in a brief, shirtless
cameo.
McAvoy is all charm as Professor X.
Fassbender brings gravitas to Magneto.
Lawrence, though, seems like she might be
over this kind of big franchise fare.

Peninsula Symphony ends season with a bang

Beethovens Ninth Symphony featured in Cupertino concert
By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Ludwig
van
Beethovens
Ninth
Symphony isnt actually the biggest or
longest symphony ever written. It is, however, the greatest monument of the sym-

phonic repertoire, the one that Beethoven

spent over 20 years preparing himself to
write. This is the work with which the
Peninsula Symphony chose to end its current concert season. I heard the performance
at Flint Center in Cupertino last Saturday.
Music director Mitchell Sardou Klein led a

big, grand, rather old-fashioned performance with as much of an epic quality as his
musicians could bring to it. The suspenseful
first movement and abrupt scherzo were dramatic and thundering. The Adagio was so
slow and expansive that it felt like the
largest part of the symphony. And the

choral finale, the Ode to Joy, was broad

and stately, with long pauses to gather itself
every time the music changes gears, which
it does frequently.
The musicians of this nonprofessional
orchestra put everything they had into this
symphony. The performance was on a high
level, far better than in Alexander

Inspired by the story of a real-life con artist, John Guares Six Degrees of Separation revolves around a man who insinuates himself into the lives of wealthy New Yorkers by claiming to be
the son of actor Sidney Poitier. At Custom Made Theatre Co. through June 18.
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED: JOHN GUARES SIX
DEGREES OF SEPARATION AT CUSTOM MADE THEATRE CO. IS A
FAST-PACED, FUNNY LOOK AT
GENEROSITY AND GULLIBILITY.
Looking back, maybe they should have
been suspicious, but it made sense at the
time. A stranger appears at the door of a
wealthy New York couple, reporting that he
has been mugged nearby and is a college
friend of their children. They take him in
and, ultimately, he takes them in. Custom
Made Theatre Co.s crisp production of Six
Degrees of Separation makes the most of
playwright John Guares wry look at the
magical effect of even the mere assertion of
celebrity. Inspired by the story of a reallife con artist, the play follows a charming
young man whose claim of being the son
of actor Sidney Poitier opened the doors,
and the wallets, of the star-struck and
gullible. Written by John Guare. Directed
by Stuart Bousel. 90 minutes without intermission.
TICKET INFORMATION AND STAGE
DIRECTIONS. Tickets $25-$42 at custommade.org. Senior and student discounts
are available. Performances 7:30 p.m.
Wed.; 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday; and 2
p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday. Custom Made
Theatre is at 533 Sutter St. (between Powell
and Mason streets), two blocks from Union
Square in the heart of San Francisco. The

99-seat theater keeps the audience close to

the action. The Powell/Market Street BART
is ve blocks away.
THE THEORY OF SIX DEGREES OF
SEPARATION. Wiki says: Six degrees of
separation is the theory that everyone and
everything is six or fewer steps away, by
way of introduction, from any other person
in the world, so that a chain of a friend of
a friend statements can be made to connect
any two people in a maximum of six steps.
It was originally set out by Frigyes
Karinthy in 1929 and was popularized by
Guares play.
THE REAL CON MAN BEHIND THE
PLAY. David Hampton, an American con
artist who became infamous in the 1980s,
managed to convince a group of wealthy
Manhattanites to give him money, food
and shelter by convincing them he was the

son of Sidney Poitier. Hampton persuaded

at least a dozen people into letting him
stay with them and help him nancially,
including Melanie Grifth, Gary Sinise and
Calvin Klein. He convinced some that he
was an acquaintance of their children, some
that he had just missed a plane to Los
Angeles with his luggage still on it, and
some that his belongings had been stolen.
In October 1983, Hampton was arrested and
convicted for his frauds and was ordered to
pay restitution of $4,490 to his various
victims. After refusing to comply with
these terms, he was sentenced to a term of
18 months to four years in prison.
Hampton died in 2003 at age 39.

Glazunovs Violin Concerto also on the
program. The timpani thundered, and the
horns and brass blared out prominently in a
way that reminded me of the San Francisco
Symphony in Seiji Ozawas day, except that
the Peninsula players made fewer flubs.
Highest honors go to the cellos and basses
for the long recitative that introduces the
Ode to Joy. This was both on point and
full of character.
The concert had a real winner in the magnificently strong baritone Eugene
Brancoveanu to sing the Odes big solo
part. Soprano Shawnette Sulker had a particularly strong voice as well. Alto Sharmay
Musacchio and tenor Kevin Gino also fit in
suitably.
The soloists at least had the advantage of
standing in front. Hidden in the back of
Flints vast stage were the chorus members
of the Masterworks Chorale. They could be
heard, and Beethovens eccentric writing did
not strain them but, from that location, the
chorus failed to dominate as much as it
should have. The chorus members also suffered the indignity of not being named in
the program book.
Glazunovs Violin Concerto was there to

Friday May 27, 2016

The concert began with a set of brass and

percussion fanfares (much thundering timpani again) led by departing assistant conductor Nathaniel Berman. Aaron Coplands
Fanfare for the Common Man fit appropriately with the theme of universal friendship in Friedrich Schillers text for the Ode
to Joy. The dramatically stark Copland was
followed by Joan Towers cheeky reply,
Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman, a
similar though more elaborate piece. The
fanfares finished up with Leo Arnauds classic Olympics anthem, the one everyone
knows from TV broadcasts of the games,
offered as a surprise addition just because
itll be relevant again this summer.

Rapper arrested in
T.I. concert shooting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Police investigating a

deadly shooting at a packed hip-hop concert
in New York arrested a Brooklyn rap artist
Thursday, saying surveillance footage
showed him stalking through the venue firing a gun.
Roland Collins, who goes by the stage
name Troy Ave, will face attempted murder
and weapons charges, a police spokesman
said.
Four people were shot, one fatally, when a
fight started Wednesday night in a performers lounge at a Manhattan concert hall
where the star rapper T.I. was scheduled to
perform.
The man who died, Ronald McPhatter, was
a member of Collins entourage and had been
there to provide security, according to his
family. Collins, 33, suffered a gunshot
wound to the leg, police said.
An 8-second video clip released by police
shows the gunman bursting through the
door of a VIP room in apparent pursuit of
another man, who flees off-screen.
As concertgoers huddle under a counter and
clutch each other, the gunman, who appears
to be limping, stops and scans the room for
a moment with his eyes. Then, he spots
something, raises his gun and fires.
There were nearly 1,000 people in the
concert hall, Irving Plaza, when the shooting began. One of the victims, Christopher

Vinson, was shot in the chest on the venues

ground level after a bullet traveled through
the floor, Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce
said. Another bystander, Maggie Heckstall,
was shot in the leg, authorities said.
The exact circumstances of what prompted
the fight were still under investigation.
In an interview with WCBS radio, Police
Commissioner William Bratton blamed the
shootings on the crazy world of the socalled rap artists who are basically thugs
that basically celebrate the violence that
they live all their lives.
The music, unfortunately, oftentimes celebrates violence, celebrates degradation of
women, celebrates the drug culture and its
unfortunate that as they get fame and fortune, that some of them are just not able to
get out of the life, if you will, he said.
That prompted an angry response from
McPhatters relatives and a city lawmaker,
who derided the comments as insensitive
and divisive.
When white people are doing this violence, I dont hear the same language being
used, said City Councilman Jumaane
Williams, a Brooklyn Democrat who said he
had worked on anti-violence initiatives
with McPhatter and his older brother,
Shanduke McPhatter, a former gang member.
The citys mayor, Bill de Blasio, said
afterward that he believed Bratton was talking out of frustration.

Memorable words from National Spelling Bee

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OXON HILL, Md. Here are some memorable words and definitions from the final
rounds of the 89th Scripps National Spelling
Bee. Biological terms were particularly challenging, and shorter words often present a
greater challenge than longer ones, which
are made up of roots that spellers can piece
together.
CACOMIXL: A carnivorous mammal
related to the raccoon. Cooper Komatsu of
Culver City, California, got this right. He
also could have gotten it right with two alternate spellings: cacomistle or cacomixle.
SYLVILAGUS: A cottontail rabbit.
Sylvie Lamontagne of Lakewood, Colorado,
got this right, but she didnt know it right
away. Fidgeting nervously, she managed to
piece it together by the roots.
DIPNOOUS: Having both lungs and
gills. Afua Ansah of Ghana spelled this correctly.

Ramon Padua from Guam gives a thumbs up as he competes in a preliminary round at the
89th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee at National Harbor in Maryland.

TALAJE: A tick of the American tropics.

Shashwat Patel of Harriman, New York, got
this wrong.
TIBOURBOU: A tropical evergreen tree.
Nihar Janga of Austin, Texas, who at 11 could
become the youngest champion on record
and is the only speller who hasnt missed a
word either on the written test or onstage,
got this right.
SALELE: A Samoan-derived word for a
small, dusky silver fish. Tejas Muthusamy of
Glen Allen, Virginia, who made the top 10
the past two years, spelled this wrong and
was eliminated.
TYEE: A Chinook-derived word for a
salmon. Shruthika Padhy of Cherry Hill, New
Jersey, got this wrong.
DULIA: Veneration paid to saints and
angels in Roman Catholicism. Max Meyer
of Shorewood, Minnesota, got this wrong.
SOMMA: The rim of a volcanic crater.

Spielberg to grads: Be the movie heroes of real life

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. In a world full of

villains, Harvard University graduates must
become the heroes, filmmaker Steven
Spielberg told the 2016 class during a commencement address Thursday.
Spielberg invoked stories from his films
and his life as he encouraged the graduates to
take on the worlds woes.
A hero needs a villain to vanquish, and
youre all in luck, he said. This world is
full of monsters. Theres racism, homophobia, ethnic hatred, class hatred. Theres
political hatred and theres religious hatred.

To combat them, he urged students to listen

The only answer to more hate is more
humanity, he said. We have to replace fear
with curiosity.
Spielberg has won Oscars for best picture
and best director for Schindlers List and
best director for Saving Private Ryan. One
of his earliest hits, Jaws, was filmed primarily on the Massachusetts island of
Marthas Vineyard.
He dropped out of California State
University Long Beach in the 1960s to take
a job at Universal Studios but later returned

stress the importance of education to his

children.
Some go for their parents, but I went for
my kids, he said. It helped that they gave
me course credit in paleontology for my
work on Jurassic Park.
Early in his career, Spielberg focused on
making escapist movies conjured from his
imagination, he said. Later, he learned the
power of creating movies based on historical events, however horrific. It gave him a
sense of mission, he said.
I hope you all find that sense of mission, he said. Dont turn away from whats
painful. Examine it; challenge it. My goal is
to create a world that lasts two hours. Your
job is to create a world that lasts forever.

Hamilton star enjoys access to new world

By Mark Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Daveed Diggs finds refuge onstage at Hamilton away from the new and constant demands on his time.
for me. Id come to New York a lot and never
even tried to see a Broadway show. There
was no reason for me to do that, he said.
I didnt care because it didnt seem like
they cared about me, he said. That is one
thing that feels like this group is working
really hard to change by just moving the
fence a little bit wider.
The show has stretched Diggs, asking
that he sing and learn choreography for the
first time for his Broadway debut. But the
former track standout and theater major at
Brown University saw most of his interests
collide - history, rap and stage.
After college, Diggs supplemented his
income as a teacher while doing horrible
auditions for people who did not care.
Money was always tight.
It was bad, but Ive always had friends
and family. Ive always been very support-

ed. Ive never really been sad. Ive just been

broke. They are very different things.
Diggs, who joined Mirandas hip-hop
improve group Freestyle Love Supreme, is
known for his rapid-delivery rapping, a
Bay Area-style he honed though many
hours of practice. He admires innovative,
unorthodox rappers like Aesop Rock and E40.
Ive always gravitated toward technical
music in general. I love jazz fusion. Really
technical playing has always been a thing
for me and that kind of rapping is the rap
equivalent of that. Its about muscle memory. Its about training your mouth to do the
thing that you wrote.
The attention hes now gotten has meant
new opportunities. I have access to a world
that I just didnt have access to before. A lot
of different worlds, actually. And I have

NEW YORK These days, Daveed Diggs

finds himself in the eye of a hurricane. And
it is quiet.
The Ivy League-educated rapper and actor
from California has earned a Tony Award
nomination for his work in the biggest
Broadway show in a generation and that
means hes needed for endless appearances
and events.
His refuge? Onstage at Hamilton.
Everything surrounding the show is really crazy right now and doing the show is
very the much same as its always been really easy and fun and kind of relaxing, he
said. So its great that thats the last thing
I do every day ... just go to the theater and
do the thing that I know how to do best.
Diggs, 34, plays both Thomas Jefferson
and the Marquis de Lafayette, leaping off a
table while employing a thick French
accent at one moment and facing off against
a Founding Father in a rap duel in the next.
Director Thomas Kail said Diggs leads a
cast including Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa
Soo, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Christopher
Jackson and Jonathan Groff that will be
remembered for many years. Its like the
1927 Yankees, he said. People will look
back on this program and say, They were
all there in this one building at the same
time.
Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the
musical tells the true story of Alexander
Hamilton, an orphan immigrant from the
Caribbean who rose to the highest ranks of
American society. Its done what few
Broadway shows have done: Entered the
wider culture.
People from where I grew up are listening to the soundtrack - thats crazy. I didnt
know a single musical soundtrack really
growing up. Nobody listened to musicals.
That wasnt a thing I did, said Diggs.
Diggs never expected to find himself on
Broadway, but he and the young AfricanAmerican and Latino cast of Hamilton
hope to make it a place where everyone can
feel welcome.
All the way on the West Coast, never
having seen a Broadway show, it was like,

help, he said. Thats actually the biggest

change. I was just guessing before, just trying to figure things out. Now there are people who can help me.
Diggs wont speculate on how long hell
stay in Hamilton, but hes already making
new music on the side with clipping, his rap
trio, and film and TV projects are coming in
that interest him. Whatever happens, hes
not worried if the musical is the most popular thing he ever does.
If this all goes bad tomorrow - and part of
me feels like it will, a part of me has always
felt like that - Ill be fine. At least I did it. At
least I had it for a second, he said. Its all
part of a journey.
Diggs is often asked what kind of advice
he has to young artists and he is quick with
an answer Dont stress the timeline as
much.

Cast of History Channels

Roots reflects on series
By Frazier Moore

Being a bad guy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Will history repeat itself with the remake

of Roots ?
The original miniseries, based on Alex Haleys best-seller, became a national phenomenon in 1977 as it told the
multigenerational saga of his forebears, beginning with
Kunta Kinte, a West African teen captured in the mid-1700s
by slave traders and shipped to America.
Now, four decades later, Roots is being retold in a lush
new production that, while running about 6.5 hours versus
the originals about 9.5 hours, boasts a brisker pace with a
heightened focus on the suffering and triumphs of Kunta
Kinte and his descendants, and less attention to Americans
along the way.
Airing Monday through Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT on
History, it is already raising questions like: Why do it
again? How to account for its enduring relevance? And, what
was the impact of being part of it for its stars?
At Mondays premiere in New York, four cast members
took time to explain to The Associated Press:

Tom Lea is what I detest in all men. Hes a neer-do-well,

ignorant, greedy, with uncontrollable anger, said Meyers.
When I walked on the set, it was, Here comes the bad
man!
There were these two African-American guys I was friendly with who were playing older slaves on Tom Leas plantation. On one of the last few days of the shoot, they looked
at me and said, Tom Lea! You a DOG of a man! Jus tellin
you, you a DOG of a man. I said, Thanks very much, guys.
I love you, too. Mission accomplished.

Being a good guy

Anna Paquin plays the small but key role of Nancy Holt, a
Confederate officers fiancee, in a performance she feels
drives home an important message.
You cant stand by and do nothing, she said. Youre not
off the hook just because you werent the one wielding the
whip. Inaction, just like action, can represent complicity.
Thats what she means to me.

The challenge

A first brush with Roots

I felt very inadequate, said Malachi Kirby, who plays

the central role of Kunta Kinte. I had no idea how to take
this on. He goes through things that I will never experience. He feels things that I dont think Ive ever felt. I play
him from 18 to 50; Im 26. There was something bigger
than myself, something bigger that I needed to access to
reach the depths of who this man was. That led me to pray.
A lot!
Rege-Jean Page, who plays Chicken George, said that following Ben Vereens indelible performance in the original
miniseries meant a huge amount of pressure. A MASS of
pressure! It was a bit of a millstone around my neck. But
when somethings important, when it calls on everything
youve trained for, the trick is to flip the millstone around,
onto your back. Then it gives you momentum.

I was taught about slavery, said the British-born Kirby.

But it was the ancient Egyptians. Thats the closest I got to
African history.
Meanwhile, his first contact with the hero he would later
portray was a negative one.
Schoolkids black and white would call me Kunta
Kinte as a cuss, he said. If ever my hair was particularly
messy, if ever I looked scruffy at school, I would be called
Kunta Kinte. My first impression was that it was bad to be
African and bad to be associated with him.
Then, just three years ago, he viewed the full miniseries,
a boxed set he got as a gift from his mother.
It had a profound effect on me. It still affects the way I
think and the way I navigate my way through life.

Why again?

Is Roots too downbeat?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays Tom Lea, a cruel and

violent slaveholder, acknowledged many people have said,
Oh, God, do we have to make it again? Well, yes. When
they made it in the 1970s it was almost a Masterpiece
Theatre version, whereas today, with our current ability and
technology, we can produce home cinema, which is something completely different from television.
Said Page, I have always found it curious that Americans
consider Roots an American story. I first watched it growing up in Zimbabwe, and I naturally saw it as an African
story. It is about Africans brought to America and having a
new identity forced upon them. Kunta Kinte is NOT an
American, and he utterly rejects that idea at every turn. But
this is a story of the MAKING of America, and I think there
is no wrong time to retell and improve upon our knowledge
of that story.
This is a period piece, and we have a million, billion
Jane Austen remakes, he added. When you turn the camera
on a period drama about people of color, you tend to find a
slightly more difficult situation. But still, its a story about
people in a period of history.

I think art that confronts dark passages and turns it in a

way that develops our consciousness, our sense of identity,
our future, is honorable, said Page. So I dont think its
something to be avoided. I think its something to be taken
with a great sense of responsibility and that drives the
work to a more ambitious place than it would be otherwise.
Kirby cited the horrific scene where Kunta Kinte is
whipped, and whipped some more, until he identifies himself as Toby, the name the plantation owners have imposed
on him.
He does not give that name up as submission, but for survival, said Kirby. He gives that name, the name they want
to hear, so he can fight another day. And he will.
He took control! He was not a slave. None of the people
depicted in this story are slaves. They are African people
enslaved an important difference. Roots focuses on a
particular group of people who defy the odds, and win, eventually, even if it isnt in their lifetimes.
This is, for me, a very positive story, and a very empowering one, if only we have that perspective on it.

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for
San Mateo County, California and Incorporated Areas
The Department of Homeland Securitys Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a Preliminary Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed flood hazard
determinations within San Mateo County, California and Incorporated Areas. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations,
base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or
zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed flood
hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or
FIS report for various communities within San Mateo County.
These flood hazard determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required
to either adopt or show evidence of being already in effect in
order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you will be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed information. For information on the statutory 90-day
period provided for appeals, as well as a complete listing of
the communities affected and the locations where copies of
the FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMAs website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call the FEMA

Continued from page 1
with the future of our downtown, said
Commissioner Pamela OLeary, according
to a video of the meeting.
The commission noted big changes are
planned for the east side of the Caltrain
tracks an oft-overlooked area with a variety of auto repair businesses, service shops,
fast-food establishments, a lumber yard and
more, which serves as a buffer between
downtown and the Central Neighborhood.
The site is directly north of two city-owned
parcels that are also slated for redevelopment as the council and community consider a combination of housing, parking or
even relocating City Hall to the former
Kinkos and Worker Resource Center sites
off Fifth Avenue.
Planning Commission Chair Charlie
Dreschler emphasized the context of the site
and noted varying opinions are to be
expected.
This is the first foray into development
on that side of the track and I applaud the
applicant for being creative with this and
taking the chance. Our community is
very interested in this site and the sites that
are coming online quickly, Dreschler said.
Downtown is evolving and going through

LOCAL
this design evolution currently.
Although no one from the public spoke
during the hearing, the commissioners
heeded emails and concerns from members
of the Central Neighborhood Association
who worried about traffic and parking
impacts as well as the size of the building.
Many favored appropriately-placed,
higher-density developments as the city
considers how to address the regional housing crisis.
Two of the units will be offered as affordable per the citys inclusionary zoning regulations, but the development may have
lower parking requirements per state law.
Commissioner Eric Rodriguez agreed with
Windy Hill Partner Mike Field theres
demand for workforce housing such as the
proposed smaller 550-square-foot to 650square-foot units near transit.
I think theres a huge market for this
type of unit, theres many members of our
community who would gladly give up some
space and choose to live by the tracks for a
shorter commute, for proximity to downtown and transit. San Mateo really does not
have this type of housing and I think we
should encourage this as a community,
Rodriguez said.
Commissioners also agreed the larger size
office space near downtown where there
are plenty small 2,000 or 3,000 square foot
spaces could help retain growing companies.

But parking remained a primary concern.

Windy Hill plans on creating 83 spaces
spread between two stories of underground
parking. City zoning requires 152 spaces
with Windy Hill proposing to pay in-lieu
fees for the remaining 69 spaces.
With the citys fee at around $18,000 per
space, its far short from actual construction
estimates that is costs $40,000 per above
ground space and $60,000 per underground
space.
Field said the development will have a
robust transportation demand management
plan such as offering free train passes to
employees, providing showers and lockers
on site and other measures to reduce vehicle
trips. He also noted the non-residential
parking units would be provided to the city
to manage as public parking during nights
and weekends with a separate elevator
entrance for non-tenants.
Commissioners urged the developer to
consider creating more parking by either
giving up a level of office or going deeper
underground.
Commissioner Diane Whitaker noted
without city progress on creating a new
public parking structure, it was difficult to
overlook potential impacts.
Im growing increasingly uncomfortable
with approving projects that have an in-lieu
parking fee component, Whitaker said,
noting 45 percent of the required spaces
would be covered through in-lieu fees.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Were accepting these payments and were
throwing money down the well and theres
no estimate when the funds might actually
be used to build parking somewhere.
Other suggestions included urging Windy
Hill to incorporate more sustainability features, adding public art, possibly considering some ground-floor retail, using union
labor during construction, and reworking
portions of the building design.
Staff noted a traffic study as well as environmental analysis would be conducted as
part of the formal review process. The site
must also be evaluated for its historical significance as the two existing buildings are
eligible for listing on the California
Register of Historical Resources.
Commissioner John Ebneter noted concern for the loss of the automotive shop and
other nearby industrial facilities as the scale
of the proposed project will likely alter the
area and neighborhood.
But, he added, there are many benefits to
the proposed improvements.
Are you gaining more than you lose? In
this case, I think we would, Ebneter said.
But I think there needs to be a lot of
thought about where we want to go on that
side of the tracks.

VOTERS
Continued from page 1
the step of needing help from someone else
to read a paper absentee ballot and select
their preferred vote, said Nunez.
The initiative is especially necessary
now, according to Nunez, as a pivotal presidential decision looms in the fall and the
county pursued an all-mail election pilot
program last year.
County officials have expressed a willingness to address the concerns raised in the
lawsuit, as County Chief Elections Officer
Mark Church authorized forming the San
Mateo County Voting Accessibility
Advisory Committee, charged with the goal
of working to remove hurdles faced by seniors and voters with disabilities.
County spokeswoman Michelle Durand
said in an email though Church takes seri-

fiscal security as you age, said Gary Koenig,
vice president of Financial security at the
AARP Public Policy Institute.
Koenig said benefits increase significantly
for those who wait, rising around 8 percent
more for each additional year past age 66 and
up to 70, when benefits max out.
So we encourage people to delay as long as
possible, he said.
But waiting is a luxury many Americans
dont have.
Ken Chrzastek of Chicago began drawing
Social Security benefits at age 62 and pulled
$50,000 out of an IRA after losing a retail job
two years ago. He has been unable to find even
part-time work. Hiring a 62-year-old is a liability for a company, he said.
The poll found that Americans 50 and over
have multiple sources of income for retirement but that Social Security is the most common by far. Eighty-six percent say they have
or will have Social Security income. More
than half had a retirement account such as a
401(k), 403(b), or an IRA. Slightly less had
other savings. About 43 percent had a traditional pension.
The average age at which people expect to
start or have started collecting Social Security
benefits is 64. Just 9 percent said they would
wait until after they turned 70.
While the retirement age has been rising in
recent years, particularly for women, the average American still retires relatively early, at
age 64 for men and age 62 for women, according to the Center for Retirement Research at
Boston College.

ously the obligation to offer fair access,

such an effort must be balanced against the
potential security threats potentially posed
by unconventional, remote voting systems.
Mr. Church and the county also have a
commitment to protecting the integrity of
the voting process, and the risks of error and
fraud must be considered, she said.
California law requires all voting systems
to go through a rigorous certification
process conducted by the secretary of state.
Any new voting technology runs the risk of
permitting hackers, or even software errors,
to destroy the integrity of the vote, which is
why any new system must be certified and
implemented carefully.
The county currently offers a mobile, voting automated system which can be brought
to the homes of blind voters to read them a
ballot, according to Nunez, offering some
assistance and privacy.
Some may consider the system inefficient
though, according to Nunez, when compared

to the opportunity of accessing software

that is used in Utah, Oregon, Washington
and other states.
We dont see any good reason these tools
arent being made available in San Mateo
County too, Nunez said, of the remote voting technology preferred by those bringing
the lawsuit.
Durand though cited a federal court rejecting a similar case brought in Ohio as validation of the concerns expressed by county
officials.
Alternatively, Nunez said he and his
clients feel their case is solid and deserves
recognition.
We think well be able to present a compelling showing to the court, and we are
optimistic the court will understand the
importance of this issue, he said. But I
dont want to prognosticate.
Rather than pursue a solution through a
court battle, Durand said the county would
have preferred to work together with the

concerned parties toward finding an amicable outcome.

Instead of opting to work collaboratively with the county, the state and the
Legislature to find solutions, plaintiffs in
this lawsuit are focused on forcing an untested, uncertified solution into use before
November and on generating enormous
legal fees to be paid by taxpayers, she said.
All voters should be wary of this strategy.
Efforts are underway at both the state and
county level to offer some voters the type of
assistance they seek, according to Durand,
and county officials feel waiting for a comprehensive approach is preferable to forcing
the issue through the courts.
The Legislature is considering legislation that will address access during the early
voting period by voters with visual impairments, and the county is committed to pursuing new options as well, she said. But
any solution must comply with the law and
protect a safe election process for all.

Charles Jeszeck, director of education,

workforce and income security for the
Government Accountability Office, said there
is no one right answer to when people should
take Social Security, especially since increases in life expectancy are not spread out evenly
between the rich and poor, or between ethnic
groups.
Included in any discussion about Social
Security are lingering questions about its solvency.
The Social Security trust fund has been running a surplus every year since 1984. Those
surpluses are forecast to stop sometime around
2020, as more boomers start claiming benefits.
The Social Security Administration says
interest income from the fund should be able
to bridge this gap until 2034. At that point,
without changes, payments could shrink but
not disappear.
Gary Burtless, a Brookings Institution
economist, said that people taking benefits
early or late should have no impact on
the trust fund. It costs the government roughly the same amount, he said.
Among the presidential candidates, both
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have
called for an expansion of Social Security.
Donald Trump said during a debate in March,
Its my absolute intention to leave Social
Security the way it is.
Many Americans worry that they wont
have enough to live on once they stop working, the poll said.
Among those with incomes under $50,000,
58 percent say they feel more anxious than
secure about the amount of savings they have
for retirement. People with higher incomes
appear less anxious, but still 40 percent of
those with incomes of $100,000 or more
worry whether their savings will be sufficient.

ing Dyers case, recalled the unusual circumstances of his arrest and the victims murder.
Police initiated contact with Dyer on an unrelated matter as they believed he was selling marijuana outside a 7-Eleven on the corner of Third
Avenue and Delaware Street. Dyer fled and led
police to the apartment where he escaped out of
a window but was caught outside, Wagstaffe
said.
Then police officer Robert Ross, who later
served as mayor of San Mateo, chased Dyer into
the home but wasnt aware the suspect had fled
out the window. Instead, he saw what he
believed to be Dyer underneath the bed covers.
After pulling back the sheets expecting to find
the man, he instead discovered the victims
body, Wagstaffe said.
Dyer reportedly admitted he didnt know what
to do after he strangled the woman and would sit
in the room talking to her each night. He also
continued to sleep in the apartment, which is
what led him to use carpet fresh powder to try
and cover the smell, Wagstaffe said.
Former police officer Mike Callagy, now
deputy county manager, arrived shortly after
Ross, Wagstaffe recalled.

Continued from page 1

the apartment they shared. After the homicide,
the then 25-year-old panicked. He left her in the
bed for two weeks and attempted to cover up the
smell of decomposition by dousing the corpse
with Carpet Fresh, Wagstaffe said.
Members of the Famero family, relatives of
the victim who was in her late 20s at the time of
her murder, spoke at the parole hearing,
Wagstaffe said.
Im pleased that he will remain in prison.
Because I do share the view of the victims, the
Famero family, which is if hes released, hes a
danger to our community, Wagstaffe said.
Dyer was convicted of murder in 1992 after a
three-week jury trial and sentenced in 1993 to
25 years to life in prison. On appeal, his conviction was reduced to a second degree murder
charge after a court ruled the evidence didnt support premeditation, according to prosecutors.
