CALIFORNIA DROUGHT COSTS CENTRAL VALLEY $2
BILLION
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California is at the
epicenter of global warming and other
climate change, with the state experiencing
longer re seasons, rising sea levels and
droughts that threaten agriculture, Gov.
Jerry Brown said Monday.
The governor made his remarks during a
conference about climate
change, as California was
mopping up from a string
of wildres in San Diego
County that caused more
than $20 million in dam-
age.
The event also came as
scientists warn that high-
er temperatures will lead
to more frequent and intense wildfires
throughout the West, and after scientists
conrmed that the huge West Antarctic ice
sheet is beginning to collapse and could
boost sea levels as much as 12 feet.
Brown said California has had almost
twice the number of forest res this year
compared to normal levels, and the re sea-
son is now 70 days longer than it was his-
torically, adding that weve got to adapt
because the climate is changing.
The Democratic governor said
Californians drive almost 1 billion miles a
day at the same time the state is aggressive-
ly trying to reduce carbon emissions. He
said making the switch to a culture that is
less dependent on burning fossil fuels
wont be easy.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A contentious debate over the fate of a 103-year-old
bridge in Half Moon Bay will be presented to the voters

You might think Notre Dame High
School-Belmont sophomore Allison
Taylor is a pack rat when you happen
upon the 76 boxes she has stacked up
in her garage, but theres more to the
story than meets the eye.
These 3,000 pounds of boxes con-
tain books Taylor began collecting a
few years ago in an effort to help sup-
port literacy in Africa. Now, the 16-
year-old Hillsborough resident will
travel to Northern Ghana in late July to
deliver the 5,600 books. The goal of
Taylors group, Book Buddies, is to
provide recreational reading material
to those who lack resources.
When I was in middle school, we
were learning about the literacy rates
in Ghana there is one book to every
12 children, Taylor said. I started
collecting in seventh-grade and wanted
to hit a goal of 5,000 so I could go
over and personally deliver them.
An avid reader, Taylor enjoyed par-
ticipating in the reading buddy pro-
gram in her elementary school in
which older students support younger
students by reading with them.
I wanted to become a book buddy in
fth-grade and be able to inuence kids
on how to read, she said. When I got

Mom accused of attacking
bully may have wrong boy
SAN FRANCISCO A Northern
California mother suspected of attack-
ing a 12-year-old boy she said was bul-
lying her daughter at school may have
targeted the wrong child, a sheriffs of-
cial said Monday.
Investigators have not found evidence
linking the boy to the bullying allega-
tions, Sonoma County sheriffs Lt.
Steve Brown said. He said they are look-
ing into whether another child may have
harassed the girl.
We are unable to determine if any bul-
lying ever occurred, Brown said. We
dont know if this kid bullied this girl at
all. It looks like he did not. We cant nd
anybody to say that he did.
The girls mom, Delia Garcia-
Bratcher, was arrested Saturday on suspi-
cion of inicting injury on a child after
sheriffs deputies say she came to Olivet
Elementary Charter School in Santa
Rosa on Friday and grabbed the boy by
the throat. She asked her son, who also
attends the school, to point out who was
bullying her daughter, the sheriffs
ofce said.
Attempts to reach Garcia-Bratcher
were unsuccessful Monday as telephone
numbers listed for her were disconnect-
ed. It is not clear whether she has
retained a lawyer, Brown said.
While several students saw the inci-
dent, no adults witnessed what hap-
pened, Brown said. The students later
told a deputy that Garcia-Bratcher threat-
ened the boy about bullying her daugh-
ter. The school staff took photos of red
marks on the boys neck, Brown said.
On Saturday, Garcia-Bratcher came
into the sheriffs ofce to give a state-
ment and was briey taken into custody
afterward, Brown said. She was later
released on $30,000 bail.
The mother said she didnt do it,
Brown said. Even if some bullying did
occur, that doesnt change the crime that
the mother allegedly committed.
Ad company takes down
Southern secession billboard
MONTGOMERY, Ala. The head of
the Confederate League of the South
says an advertising company has
removed a highway billboard that advo-
cated a Southern secession from the
United States.
Michael Hill is president of the
Confederate League of the South. He said
Monday that Lamar Advertising Co.
took down the billboard along Interstate
85 in Montgomery following com-
plaints. The billboard had the word
secede in capital letters, along with
the leagues name and website.
The sign went up Friday and was
removed over the weekend.
Hill said the company offered a refund,
but that wasnt necessary since he had
yet to pay.
ALamar Advertising executive did not
return a message seeking comment.
Boston drivers
urged to Use Yah Blinkah
BOSTON Perhaps the reason noto-
riously aggressive Boston drivers dont
use their turn signals is that no ones
ever put it in terms they understand.
The Massachusetts Department of
Transportation on Friday changed that
by posting messages on electronic
highway signs around the city that read:
Changing Lanes? Use Yah Blinkah.
Blinkah is how Bostonians pro-
nounce blinker, otherwise known as a
turn signal.
The signs are scheduled to stay up
through the Mothers Day on Sunday,
which state ofcials say is one of the
busiest trafc days of the year.
Drivers who fail to use their blinkah
when changing lanes on a
Massachusetts highway are subject to a
ne. Police across the state handed out
almost 5,000 tickets for the offense last
year.

The results are starting to trickle in for a
districtwide climate survey of the Millbrae
Elementary School District spurred by con-
cerns about a poor work environment for
teachers, but ofcials and parents would like
the data presented in a way that would let
them know how each individual school is
doing and be easier to read.
Results, disclosed last week, showed 512
parents, 77 certied faculty and 38 classied
staff completed surveys, totaling 627 sur-
veys taken in three groups. There were mul-
tiple themes across survey groups, including
that equity is valued, trust and morale are low
and the potential for improvement around a
collaborative culture, according to the sur-
vey. Answers range from strongly disagree
to strongly agree corresponds with scores of
one to ve for each question and the data is a
bit difficult to understand, said board
President Denis Fama.
Im trying to get that data formatted in a
way that is more readable, understandable
and comparable, Fama said.
Parents wrote 128 negative comments
related to the district governance team, with
the most negative comments being related
to boardsmanship, 29, and open, honest
communication, 18. Certied faculty left 29
negative comments on governance, with the
most complaints being related to trust,
respect and value. Classied staff left 17
negative comments, with boardsmanship
also being the biggest issue. Parents had 80
negative comments on district leadership,
certied faculty had 28 negative comments
and classied staff had 9 negative com-
ments, according to data from Pivot
Learning Partners, the group that conducted
the surveys.
Fama is suggesting a format that would
show questions and the percentages of
answers in each question, so the results can
be looked at all in one page.
Its a little bit early, he said. I want to
have the whole board look at it in June. Its
a terric guide for us to either sustain what
we have done well or improve areas of con-
cern. Its a great planning document for the
board.
The survey of staff, parents and teachers
was authorized by the district following ten-
sions between the administration and teach-
ers. These tensions were specically ignited
by the December 2013 resignation of Taylor
Middle School Principal Lesley Martin, who
some felt was intimidated by Superintendent
Linda Luna and the school board into leav-
ing. Teachers and parents expressed concern
that the administration was making for a
poor work environment, with the Millbrae
Education Association and Classied School
Employees Association going so far as to
vote no condence in Luna. The district did
say it is making an effort to work more with
teachers and staff.
Some parents felt it would have been a bet-
ter idea to compile separate surveys for each
school, noting its hard to know how their
particular school is doing as the comments
compiled are not categorized by school.
This was really kind of to open up the
box, said Ida Jew of Pivot Learning
Partners.
Originally, the survey was only supposed
to be done at Taylor, but the administration
decided it would be a good idea to get a read
on the entire district climate.
One issue with the surveys was that some
parents felt it was difcult to get to the
online link. Additionally, some parents
could have taken the survey more than once
if they had children in more than one school
in the district.
The only thing not included is individual
comments, Jew said. We wanted people to
be able to say what they wanted to say with-
out any fear of being tied back to some-
body.
The board is going to be studying the
results more and determining next steps for
setting my goals for this coming year, said
Luna.
Survey questions were put together by a
Taylor teacher, board Vice President Lynne
Ferrario, Fama and Jew, putting in more than
100 man hours, Fama said.
There are things we might have done dif-
ferently undoubtedly, he said. That will be
part of our report. The intention would be to
do these (surveys) every couple of years, but
Im open to a redo next year.
The contract, not to exceed $15,000, with
Pivot extends through June 30.
Aside from a board meeting presentation
of the data, presentations have already taken
place at Taylor Middle School, Green Hills
Elementary School and Meadows
Elementary School. There will also be par-
ent meetings 8:30 a.m. May 28 at Lomita
Park Elementary School and 6 p.m. June 11
at Spring Valley Elementary School.

SACRAMENTO Californias
drought will cost the states agricultur-
al economy an estimated $1.7 billion
this year and leave some 14,500 farm-
workers without jobs, says a prelimi-
nary study released Monday by the
University of California, Davis,
Center for Watershed Sciences.
The study was done at the request of
the California Department of Food and
Agriculture and used computer models
and recent water delivery gures to
arrive at its conclusions.
Central Valley farmers expect 1/3
less irrigation water in a state that
leads the nation in the production of
fruits, vegetables and nuts. The report
estimates 6 percent of farmland in the
Central Valley or 410,000 acres
could go unplanted because of cuts in
water deliveries. Amore detailed report
is due out this summer.
We wanted to provide a foundation
for state agricultural and water policy-
makers to understand the impacts of
the drought on farmers and farm com-
munities, said the studys lead author,
Richard Howitt, a US Davis professor
emeritus of agriculture and resource
economics.
With less river water available for
irrigating crops, the report says that
farmers will pump more ground water,
which will cost an estimated $450 mil-
lion but still leave them short of sup-
plies.
The communities hardest hit by the
drought lie in the San Joaquin and
Central Valley, the report says.
UC Davis Jay Lund, a co-author of
the study, said he expects the drought
to create hardships on farmers, their
communities and the environment, but
Californias overall economy should-
nt be threatened. He said agriculture
makes up less than 3 percent of
Californias $1.9 trillion gross
domestic product annually.

GoPro Inc. has led the paperwork to
take its niche video camera business
public.
The company, based in San Mateo
makes devices popular with extreme
athletes. Its small and durable cameras,
which sell for several hundred dollars,
can be found on the tops of helmets of
skiers, handlebars of mountain bikers
and the fronts of surfboards.
GoPro indicated in the ling that it
hopes to raise up to $100 million, but
that amount is likely to change as the
banks managing the deal gauge
investor interest. The company did not
say how many shares it hoped to sell
or for what price.
It plans to use the proceeds for gen-
eral corporate purposes and to repay a
loan.
GoPro generated net income of
$60.6 million in 2013 on revenue of
$985.7 million, according to its ling
Monday with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Thats up
from net income of $32.3 million and
revenue of $526 million the year
before.

Suicide-prevention training bill passes Assembly
SACRAMENTO A bill requiring mental health profes-
sionals to undergo suicide-prevention training is moving
through the Legislature, with federal data showing adult sui-
cides soaring since 1999.
AB2189 heads to the Senate after narrowly passing the
Assembly Monday on a 44-11 vote.
Democratic Assemblyman Marc Levine of San Rafael says
his bill follows recommendations from a national suicide-
prevention coalition. Several Republican and Democratic
lawmakers questioned whether a mandate is the best
approach, noting opposition from professional groups.
The bill sets training requirements for psychologists,
social workers, family therapists and counselors, to take
effect in 2016.
Bill raises penalty for pursuing minor prostitutes
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has passed legisla-
tion doubling county jail sentences for those convicted of
soliciting minor prostitutes, although it originally con-
tained much harsher penalties.
AB1791 by Republican Assemblyman Brian Maienschein
of San Diego heads to the Senate after Mondays 71-0 vote.
Maienschein says his bill provides a deterrent to child
prostitution by increasing jail sentences to one year.
Before amendments, defendants originally would have
faced up to 15 years in state prison on human trafcking
charges regardless of whether they knew the prostitutes age.

Oregon ruling marks 13th
gay marriage win in a row
PORTLAND, Ore. Afederal judge threw
out Oregons same-sex marriage ban
Monday, marking the 13th legal victory for
gay marriage advocates since the U.S.
Supreme Court last year overturned part of a
federal ban.
State ofcials earlier refused to defend
Oregons voter-approved ban and said they
wouldnt appeal.
The National Organization for Marriage
sought to intervene, but both U.S. District
Judge Michael McShane in Eugene and a fed-
eral appeals court rejected its attempts to
argue in favor of the ban.
Many county clerks in the state began
carrying out same-sex marriages almost
immediately after Mondays ruling, as jubi-
lant couples rushed to tie the knot.

MONTPELIER, Vt. The four major U.S.
wireless phone companies are providing
emergency texting 911 service as of this
month to any local government that wants
it and has the capability to use it, a big step
toward moving the nations emergency dis-
patch system out of the voice-only technol-
ogy that dates to the 1960s.
Local governments in 16 states are using
it, according to the Federal
Communications Commission, and
Vermont became the rst to offer the tech-
nology statewide Monday.
This is a big deal, Brian Fontes, the
chief executive ofcer of the Virginia-based
National Emergency Number Association,
said of the four major carriers offering text-
to-911.
Its been a long time years, decades
since our nations 911 systems have been
advanced. They are pretty much still almost
100 percent voice-centric, 1960s technolo-
gy.
Fontes said that 911 texting is part of a
broader push to use technology to enhance
the information that can be provided to
emergency responders.
In todays technology world where you
and I and other people have smartphones
that can do many different things simultane-
ously, its important that we have the
opportunity to ensure that our nations 911
centers are equally equipped with technolo-
gy.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Traditional Nigerian hunters want to find girls
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Traditional hunters armed with
homemade guns, poisoned spears and amulets have gathered
in their hundreds, eager to use their skills and what they
believe to be supernatural powers to help nd nearly 300
schoolgirls abducted by Islamic extremists.
Some 500 hunters, some as young as 18 and some in their
80s, say they have been specially selected by their peers for
their spiritual hunting skills and have been waiting for two
weeks in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital and the birth-
place of Boko Haram, to get backing from the military and
get moving.
With Nigerias military accused by many citizens of not
doing enough to rescue the girls, the hunters demonstrated
their skills to an Associated Press reporter on Sunday. Cow
horn trumpets echoed eerie war cries from the screaming and
chanting men as they twirled knives and swords with dex-
terity, occasionally stabbing and cutting themselves with
no apparent harm. The hunters claimed their magic charms
prevented any blood being drawn. They also trust amulets of
herbs and other substances wrapped in leather pouches as
well as cowrie shells, animal teeth and leather bracelets to
protect them from bullets.
The appearance of the hunters from three northeastern
states underscores how deeply the April 15 mass kidnap-
ping and the governments apparent lack of action has
affected Nigerian society. It has spawned demonstrations
and a tidal wave of commentary in media including social
sites like Twitter and Facebook.
Putin orders troops near Ukraine to return home
MOSCOW In what could be an attempt to ease tensions
with the West and avoid more sanctions, President Vladimir
Putin ordered Russian troops deployed near Ukraine to
return to their home bases Monday.
Putin also praised the launch of a dialogue between
Ukraines government and its opponents even as ghting
continued in parts of the country ahead of Sundays presi-
dential election.
The seemingly conciliatory approach suggested that
Putin may believe he has achieved his key goal of main-
taining Russian inuence over eastern Ukraine without hav-
ing to send in troops.
Russia still wants guarantees that Ukraine will not join
NATO and will conduct constitutional reforms to give broad-
er powers to its regions, something that would allow
Moscow to maintain its clout in the Russian-speaking east
that forms the industrial heartland.

BANGKOK Thailands army
declared martial law before dawn
Tuesday in a surprise announcement it
said was aimed at keeping the country
stable after six months of sometimes
violent political unrest. The military,
however, denied a coup detat was
underway.
The move effectively places the
army in charge of public security
nationwide. It comes one day after the
Southeast Asian countrys caretaker
prime minister refused to step down
and follows six months of anti-gov-
ernment demonstrations that have
failed to oust the government.
Armed troops entered multiple pri-
vate television stations in Bangkok to
broadcast their message and surrounded
the national police headquarters in the
city center. But the vast skyscraper-
strewn metropolis of 10 million peo-
ple appeared calm, and commuters
could be seen driving and walking to
work as usual.
On a major road in front of Central
World, one of the countrys most luxu-
rious shopping malls, bystanders
gawked at soldiers in jeeps mounted
with a machine-guns diverted trafc.
The mood wasnt tense; passers-by
stopped to take cellphone photos of
the soldiers.
An army ofcial, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity because of the sen-
sitivity of the situation, told the
Associated Press this is denitely not
a coup. This is only to provide safety
to the people and the people can still
carry on their lives as normal.

TRIPOLI, Libya A revolt by a
renegade general against Islamists
who dominate Libyas politics threat-
ened to spiral into an outright battle
for power that could fragment the
North African nation as the countrys
numerous armed militias on Monday
started to line up behind the rival
camps.
Gen. Khalifa Hifter, who lived for
years in exile in the United States dur-
ing the rule of autocrat Moammar
Gadha, touts himself as a nationalist
who is waging a war against terrorism
to save Libya from Islamic extremists.
His loyalists and allies in the past days
attacked Islamist militias in the east-
ern city of Benghazi and on Sunday
stormed the Islamist-led parliament in
Tripoli.
Hifters opponents accuse him of
seeking to grab power, acting on
behalf of former regime gures in exile
by orchestrating an Egyptian-style
military overthrow of Islamists that
would wreck already struggling
attempts at democracy.
Since Gadhas ouster and death in a
2011 civil war, Libya has been in
chaos. The central government has
almost no authority. The military and
police, shattered during the civil war,
have never recovered and remain in
disarray. Filling the void are hundreds
of militias around the country.

Letters to the editor
The importance of auto shop
Editor,
I am writing this to support the letter
written by Mr. Pete Rios (Letters-5/12 The
Value of Auto Shop). I am the automotive
teacher whose program is being closed this
fall. In the more than 45 years I have been
teaching automotives, I have seen count-
less students mature and ourish into
skilled productive adults. Many have pur-
sued successful automotive careers in engi-
neering, business or simply working as
technicians. Most learned basic math and
science, organizational skills, the proper
use and care of tools and the importance of
getting with others despite of their differ-
ences in my classes.
Unfortunately, many administrators,
although well-meaning, are totally out of
touch with the real world and the needs and
interests of the total school population. At
our school, even though only 30 percent of
our seniors attend a four-year university,
the entire curriculum centers around A-G
requirements for university admission.
Administrators boast about the number of
graduating seniors that will be attending a
university but neglect to tell you the num-
ber of students earning a four year degree.
The numbers will surprise you.
Meanwhile, what do we offer a large seg-
ment of the student population who have
decided to attend a community college or
pursue a vocational or technical career? Our
automotive students can earn college cred-
its, learn automotive computers and basic
diagnostic skills. Yet it has been decided
that automotive technology is not a 21st-
century program and should be replaced by
biogenetics.
Every single person I have spoken to,
faculty members, community leaders, etc.,
think this is wrong. If you agree, be proac-
tive, attend school board meetings and
demand your elected ofcials hold adminis-
trators accountable.

Can the open
access to Internet survive?
Editor,
The Federal Communications
Commission is considering a proposal that
will destroy the open Internet (a.k.a Net
Neutrality) as we know it. Unless we act
now, a two-tier model, being debated at
FCC, will become a reality. Aconsequence
of this model is that high-paying Internet
service/content providers may get prefer-
ence (fast data transmission) over others.
The cable companies can determine whose
services/contents are delivered faster and
they may even restrict our access to infor-
mation.
The recent agreement between Netix and
Comcast already gives us a clue about what
to expect after FCC makes the two-tier
model ofcial. Banks, news providers,
medical service providers and non-govern-
mental organizations who do not make
huge prot may be pushed into slow-speed
route under this model. Small startup com-
panies will not be able to compete with big
companies. Such a two-tier model will
destroy innovation that is the life blood of
our high-tech economy.
Bill Moyers recently discussed the issue
on his program Moyers and Company. His
guests emphasized the importance of keep-
ing the Internet open to all. Today, we can-
not imagine life without electricity. In such
a short time, the Internet has already
reached a vital place in our lives. If we let
FCC approve the two-tier model (anti Net
Neutrality), we will be at the mercy of the
cable giants for Web services/contents.
FCC will make its decision soon. They
are hearing from the public now. We must
tell them and our elected representatives to
treat the Internet as any other utility, such
as electricity or phone service, and not
approve the proposed model. Net
Neutrality is vital to the survival of our
democracy. We must ght hard to preserve
i t .

Misconceptions on Proposition 41
Editor,
There is a misconception about
Proposition 41. It will denitely increase
the states debt.
On page 11 of the Ofcial Voter
Information Guide, it clearly states that
this measure allows the state to sell $600
million in new general obligation bonds.
The cost to repay these bonds is estimated
to be $750 million.
At a time when Gov. Jerry Brown is wise-
ly preaching the virtues of scal responsi-
bility, Proposition 41 is not the solution.
Where are these homeless vets going to get
the money to rent these units? If they had
jobs and income, they would be renting
existing housing.
As a vet who bought his rst home with
the GI Bill, I know that there are many
resources available to vets. They get health
care and education benets. They get pref-
erence in hiring for civil service jobs. I
generally support programs for veterans
and I am certainly willing to give someone
a hand up, but not a handout. And I dont
have much sympathy for those who will
not put in the effort to improve their situa-
tion.

Galligan has best qualifications
for San Mateo County controller
Editor,
I take exception to Claudia Rodriquez, a
CPAwho described that a CPAwho works
in public accounting does not have an
understanding of governmental accounting.
Twenty-ve percent of the nancial
accounting and reporting section of the
CPAexam is on governmental accounting.
To pass the CPAexam to become a CPA,
you need to understand governmental
accounting. Yet the county requires no qual-
ications. How can someone that is not an
accountant be qualied for such a job? Joe
Galligan worked on the Burlingame City
Council for eight years, where he showed
his expertise in helping Burlingame set up
proper reserves through governmental
accounting. Galligan is an accountant and
an auditor. Juan Raigoza is an 18-year gov-
ernment employee ve years for the
Franchise Tax Board auditing your tax
returns and 13 years for the county of San
Mateo. Juan is not an accountant and not a
certied auditor and Im sorry, but, being a
good ol boy does not make Juan qualied
for San Mateo County controller. The can-
didate with the best qualications is Joe
Galligan, CPA.

Brown v. Board of Education
Editor,
The usual pomp and celebrations of com-
mencement ceremonies in schools around
our nation this month of May pours from
the media with news and TV shows featur-
ing commentaries about the 60th anniver-
sary of Brown v. Board of Education.
The landmark U.S. Supreme Court
Decision tore down the Jim Crow doctrine
of separate but equal. Implementing the
law resulted in chaos and civil unrest.
Integration in the South was enforced at
the end of a bayonet amid a sea of angry
white faces. In the North, integration was
stubbornly resisted by tumultuous protests.
By provisions of law, segregation of the
races in schools ended 60 years ago, but we
all know what is happening in real life in
America. It was not ended when the 1964
Civil Rights Act was passed. It was not
ended in 1969 when rst lady Michelle
Obama started kindergarten. In fact, when
she was growing up, Chicago was com-
pletely segregated. For sure, overt racism
in America has ended. But in a commence-
ment speech at a black college in
Baltimore, U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder said the greatest threats are more
subtle and they cut deeper. He said stud-
ies show that African-American men
receive sentences that are almost 20 per-
cent longer than those imposed on white
males convicted of similar crimes. Holder
said new restrictions on voting, dispro-
portionally disenfranchise African-
Americans, Hispanics, other communities
of color and vulnerable populations such as
the elderly.

Blank look
T
here it is, without fail. This page
intentionally left blank.
Sometimes this startling sentence
comes at the end of a book as though the
author and publisher were paid by page count
and wanted to pad the check. Standardized
tests include them which sounds like a logic
or intelligence assessment in itself. Often it
comes tucked in among hefty government
and technical doc-
uments with dry
words and incom-
prehensible
graphs like a
pulp-based
moment of silence
giving the tired
eyes and weary
brain a momen-
tary respite. Of
course, that idea is
self-defeating
because now the
brain cells have
shifted focus to an even more puzzling ques-
tion: why such a superuous page was even
included. No rest for the confused.
Obviously, the page isnt actually blank, a
fact proven by the very existence of words
printed upon it. Then if it is not blank and it
is not printed with any information justify-
ing its inclusion, what purpose does the
page serve other than to stoke philosophical
ofce chatter about inane contradictions?
Perhaps the page is for notes. Maybe its
for random doodles, protecting the margins
of the actually important pages from
impromptu artistry. Maybe it is a really
dumb and space-using way to divide content.
Possibly the user is expected to add his or
her own two cents before passing on the
tome.
The reality is grounded more in printing
methods to allow an even number of pages
to be printed on a single sheet before fold-
ing, cutting and binding. The declaration is
meant to keep readers from thinking the
page is actually blank due to error or over-
sight. Imagine the calls to Amazon customer
service and the potential lawsuits over those
perceived mistakes. Instead, though, the
readers are both comforted to know theyre
not missing out and allowed to think that
the page is included due to idiocy.
In digital documents, the infamous blank
page is inserted so that doubled-sided print-
ers dont have new chapters begin on the
backs of pages. In timed tests, the blank
page acts like a barrier between the section
being taken and the next.
Yawn. The idea of a doodle page is so much
more entertaining.
And double-printing aside because who
actually does that, the blank-but-not-so-
blank page concept is in need of xing. At
rst blush, the logical approach is just omit-
ting the page completely rather than wasting
it to declare that there is nothing really to
see there. Or, at the very least, the book and
document preparers should actually leave the
page blank. Literally blank, as in empty, as
in no words or images at all.
At least then after printing, the eco-friend-
ly recipient can reuse that sheet. Wasting the
clean side of already recycled printer paper
on one unnecessary sentence put the entire
sheet out of commission. So much for sav-
ing trees. Those with the please consider
the environment before printing this email
signature must have an anxiety attack every
time they encounter these purposely blank
pages.
Then again, half the time I consider the
environment while hitting the print button,
the email message comes out on one page
and the green lecture tagline on a separate
sheet. Maybe the pseudo-blank page is in
good company.
Undoubtedly there are worse paper waste
offenders than the intentional page.
Likewise, there are most denitely things
that make less sense. In fact, Id be happy to
share some of them, that is if I wasnt inten-
tionally drawing a blank.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Stocks nished slightly higher on
Monday, adding to the small gains the
market carved out at the end of last
week.
A dearth of fresh economic data had
many investors focusing on headline-
grabbing corporate deals, including a
$48.5 billion bid by AT&T to acquire
satellite TV provider DirecTV and a
joint venture between Johnson
Controls and a Chinese company that
will form the worlds largest maker of
automotive interiors.
The latest batch of deals is a good
sign for the market and further illus-
trates that many companies have the
nancial ammunition and appetite to
grow through acquisitions.
Even so, much of the market remained
in drift mode Monday, but still near the
latest all-time high set by the Standard
& Poors 500 index a week ago.
Were seeing big deals this AT&T
deal is big, said Marc Doss, regional
chief investment ofcer for Wells Fargo
Private Bank. But its not enough to
drive us dramatically higher in the short
run.
The three major indexes were down in
premarket trading as investors reacted
to the AT&T-DirecTV deal, which was
announced late Sunday. The proposed
deal would create the second-largest pay
TV operator behind a combined
Comcast-Time Warner Cable. But such a
combination could face close scrutiny
from the Federal Communications
Commission and Department of
Justice.
When regular trading began, the S&P
500 and Nasdaq composite drifted into
positive territory, while the Dow Jones
industrial average lagged.
AT&T and DirecTV opened lower and
never recovered. AT&T ended down 36
cents, or 1 percent, at $36.38. DirecTV
fell $1.53, or 1.8 percent, to $84.65.
Word that AstraZeneca rejected rival
drugmaker Pzers latest takeover offer
helped boost Pzers shares 16 cents,
or 0.5 percent, to $29.28.
Pzer has been courting AstraZeneca
since January. It announced Sunday that
it was ready to raise its stock-and-cash
offer by 15 percent to $118.8 billion.
By midmorning, major U.S. indexes
had each captured small gains that
would hold the rest of the day.
The S&P 500 index gained 7.22
points, or 0.4 percent, to close at
1,885.08.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 20.55 points, or 0.1 percent, to
end at 16,511.86.
The Nasdaq composite index rose
35.23 points, or 0.9 percent, to nish
at 4,125.82.
The S&P, which hit an all-time high
two days in a row early last week, is up
2 percent for the year. The Dow and
Nasdaq remain down for 2014.
The yield on the 10-year U.S.
Treasury note rose to 2.54 percent from
2.52 percent late Friday.
Investors are in a wait-and-see mode,
having digested a mostly positive but
unspectacular batch of rst-quarter cor-
porate earnings in recent weeks, in
addition to mixed economic news.
Alight schedule of economic reports
for much of this week means investors
may not get much fresh insight about
the economy until later this week, when
theyll see new gures on sales of pre-
viously occupied homes and newly
built homes. On Wednesday, the Federal
Reserve releases the minutes of last
months meeting of the central banks
policy committee.
To this point, weve seen a rotation
within and not out of equities, and we
expect that trend to continue into the
mid-year, said Terry Sandven, chief
equity strategist for U.S. Bank.
Among other stocks making merger-
related gains on Monday was Abbott
Laboratories. Financial analysts
cheered the medical device makers pro-
posed acquisition of CFR
Pharmaceuticals for nearly $3 billion.
Abbotts stock rose 57 cents, or 1.5
percent, to $39.63.
Stocks finish slightly higher

LOS ANGELES Ready to bundle
your mobile phone and TV bi l l s
together? That is one of the changes
customers can expect if AT&T Inc.s
proposed $48.5 billion acquisition of
DirecTV is approved by regulators.
Heres a quick look at the consumer
impact of the deal, based on informa-
tion provided by the companies:
Q. How will my bill change?
A. For the time being, not at all.
The deal is subject to government
approval in both the U.S. and Latin
America. Until the transaction is
approved, the companies will operate
separately. AT&T and DirecTV expect
to close the deal within 12 months.
After that, however, the companies
say a single bill for mobile phone,
Internet service and TV can be offered
in certain areas.
Q. Wi l l pri ces ri se?
A. That is a concern when competi-
tion is eliminated. AT&T offers its U-
verse video in 22 states, while
DirecTV is offered nationwide. The
overlap accounts for 25 percent of all
U.S. households. Competition helps
keep prices to consumers low. Just
look at the deals that companies like
Dish offer to steal you away from your
current TV provider. Or think of how
easy it is to get a discount on TV or
Internet service from your cable
provider when AT&T improves
Internet speeds in your area. The
reverse is true when competition goes
away.
To ameliorate the harm to con-
sumers by reducing the number of TV
competitors in many markets from
four to three, the companies vowed to
offer DirecTV on a stand-alone basis
for at least three years at nationwide
prices that wont rise or fall depend-
ing on local market conditions.
AT&T will also offer stand-alone
Internet service for three years, so
consumers who dont want to pay it
for TV service can use video providers
like Netflix or Hulu. DirecTV never
offered Internet service, so prices
wont be directly impacted by the
takeover.
Q. Wi l l t here be consumer
benef i t s?
A. AT&T says it will use cost sav-
ings targeted at $1.6 billion a year
to roll out high-speed broadband to
15 million more homes, mostly in
rural areas, within four years. That
could improve speeds for people in
areas with poor Internet connectivity,
and depending on where the rollout
occurs, create competition for broad-
band in areas where consumers dont
have many options.
The companies also say savings
could be in the works for people who
would want to bundle DirecTV and
AT&T wireless and Internet service.
AT&T currently offers some plans that
bundle DirecTVservice. By deepening
the partnership, the companies could
offer more ways for customers to save
through bundling.
Q. What does this mean for
so- cal l ed net neut ral i t y, t he
pri nci pl e t hat Int ernet
provi ders treat all traffic equal-
l y, regardl ess of the type of
cont ent ?
A. Similar to Comcasts promise
when it bought NBCUniversal, AT&T
says it will abide by the Federal
Communications Commissions
2010 open Internet order for three
years, despite it being struck down by
a court. While the FCC is in the midst
of changing those rules to allow for
paid-priority fast lanes on the
Internet with certain restrictions,
sticking by the old order will effec-
tively prevent AT&T from discrimi-
nating against Web traffic on its net-
work for the time being.
What consumers can expect
from AT&T, DirecTV deal
EPA mulls ethanol
change as industry profits soar
DES MOINES, Iowa Just as ethanol producers have
been seeing the industrys most protable months ever,
the federal government is considering whether to lower
the amount of the corn-based fuel that must be blended
into gasoline.
That could be a serious blow to a biofuels industry that
saw booms and busts connected to corn and petroleum
prices before a renewable fuel standard approved by
Congress in 2007 acted as a stabilizing factor.
The law, designed to reduce the nations reliance on for-
eign oil and cut automobile emissions, increased the
amount of ethanol required to be used each year, setting
the standard at 14.4 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol
for this year. In November, however, the EPA proposed
the rst rollback since the standard was enacted, to 13 bil-
lion gallons.
There are several factors in play and those factors are
constantly changing the demand for fuel, said Bob
Perciasepe, deputy administrator of the EPA who was in
Des Moines last week for a meeting of President Barack
Obamas task force on climate change.
Google buys corporate
mobile-device manager Divide
SAN FRANCISCO Google has bought Divide, a start-
up that helps companies manage the mobile devices that
employees are increasingly relying upon to get their
work done.
Financial terms of the acquisition announced Monday
were not disclosed. The deal is part of Googles effort to
widen corporate usage of smartphones and tablets running
on its mobile operating system, Android.
Google is counting on Divides technology to make
companies feel more comfortable about allowing their
employees to use Android devices for business email and
other on-the-job tasks involving sensitive information.
More than 1 billion devices worldwide already are pow-
ered by Android, making it the worlds leading mobile
operating system. Divide also offers an app for Apple
Inc.s iPhones. Although Divide is joining Android, the
company reassured existing iPhone customers that their
device-management tools will continue to work.
Oil rises to four-week high, 3 percent gain for May
The price of oil rose to a four-week high Monday, bring-
ing its gain for the month of May to almost 3 percent.
Benchmark U.S. crude for June delivery fell 59 cents to
$102.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Oil has risen by $2.87, or 2.9 percent, since the start of
the month.
Brent crude for July delivery, a benchmark for interna-
tional oil, lost 38 cents to $109.37 on the ICE Futures
exchange in London.

WASHINGTON The Justice
Department on Monday charged Credit
Suisse AG with helping wealthy
Americans avoid paying taxes through
offshore accounts, and a person famil-
iar with the matter said the European
bank has agreed to pay about $2.6 bil-
lion in penalties.
The charge was led in a criminal
information, which is a charging docu-
ment that can only be led with a
defendants consent and which typical-
ly signals a guilty plea.
The penalties will be paid to the
Justice Department and to regulators,
according to a person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the guilty
plea had not yet been announced.
A Justice Department news confer-
ence was scheduled for later Monday.
The penalty resolves a yearslong
criminal investigation into allega-
tions that the bank, Switzerlands sec-
ond-largest, recruited U.S. clients to
open Swiss accounts, helped them
conceal the accounts from the Internal
Revenue Service and enabled miscon-
duct by bank employees. The case is
part of an Obama administration crack-
down on foreign banks believed to be
helping U.S. taxpayers hide assets.
Attorney General Eric Holder, criti-
cized last year after telling Congress
that large banks had become hard to
prosecute, appeared to foreshadow
the guilty plea in a video message
earlier this month in which he said no
financial institution was too big to
jail.

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
and Steve Kerr have completed the coaching
contract agreed to last week.
The sides nalized the ve-year deal worth
up to $25 million Monday. The team said it
will introduce Kerr at a news conference
Tuesday at its downtown Oakland practice
facility.
Were very pleased to introduce Steve
Kerr as our new head coach, Warriors gen-
eral manager Bob Myers said in a statement.
We are condent that he will be an extreme-
ly good t for our team and our organization
as we venture into the future. The fact that he
played for several of the greatest coaches in
the history of the game including Phil
Jackson and Gregg Popovich will serve
him well, as will the many nuances that he
learned from performing on the brightest
stage during his incredibly successful,
championship-lled career.
Kerr, 48, had been in talks with the New
York Knicks about becoming their coach
after Jackson took over as team president in
March. He won three titles for Jackson in
Chicago and another two under Popovich in
San Antonio during his 15-year playing
career.
Kerr also served as general manager of the
Phoenix Suns from 2007-10 before going
back to the TNT broadcast table. He replaces
Mark Jackson, who was fired by the
Warriors on May 6 after three seasons and
back-to-back playoff appearances in large
part because of his sour relationship with
team management.
Jackson already has agreed to a multiyear
deal to rejoin the lead NBAannouncing team
for ESPN/ABC. Jackson is working the

El Camino senior Gerardo Castro won four events at Saturdays PAL Championship,but has his
sights set on the 800 meter in the upcoming Central Coast Section championship meet.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
El Caminos Gerardo Castro was still try-
ing to catch his breath after a standout per-
formance in the boys 3,200 meter in
Saturdays Peninsula Athletic League Track
and Field Championship nals.
Amid congratulations from teammates and
competitors alike, El Camino head coach
Pat Holmes walked nonchalantly over to his
star senior distance runner and handed him a
surprise a numbered badge for the upcom-
ing 4x400 meter boys relay.
Youve got to be kidding me, Castro said
smiling through deep heaving breaths.
Holmes was not kidding. So, Castro recip-
rocated by running a serious anchor leg to
lead the Colts boys to a decisive win in the
4x400 meter. It was the fourth win of the
meet for Castro, who also topped the podium
in the 800, the 1,600 and the 3,200.
Because of his exceptional showing at the
PAL Championship, Castro has been named
the San Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week.
It was quite a week for Castro as last week
he was unveiled as one of the El Camino
Boys Blanket Award winners, given to the
Colts male athlete of the year. Castro shared
the honor with sprinter Brandon Gip, who
also plays football. What makes Castro an
unconventional choice, though, is he is
exclusively a cross-country/track-and-eld
athlete. In earning El Camino athletics t op
honor, he is in select company with other
who only competed in track, such as 1990
winner Ron Sarte and 87 winner Peter
ODriscoll.
Make no mistake, Castro is built to last.
While participating in four events in one
day is not optimal for a distance runner, the
seniors results speak for themselves.
After setting the PAL Championship meet
record in the 800 last season, Castro won
the 800 this year with a time of 1:55.95. He
took rst place in the 1,600 with a 4:17.10
and ew through the 3,200 with a 9:31.86.
And as he made his way into the bell lap well
ahead of the pack in the 3,200, that good ol
runners high kicked in.

A
nyone who followed the Menlo
School baseball team closely
this season got a glimpse of the
future and it looks as if the Knights are
building toward something special over
the next couple of years.
The Knights went 17-12 overall this
season with 10 sophomores on the 22-
man roster and many of them made sig-
nicant contributions. Four of the 10
started for the Knights in the Peninsula
Athletic League tournament champi-
onship game. Overall, six sophomore
saw action in the Knights 7-6 win over
M-A. Specically, catcher Carson
Gampell and second
baseman Jared Lucian
impressed through-
out the season.
Gampell appeared in
27 of the Knights
29 games this sea-
son, batting .357
and nishing second
on the team in RBIs
with 24. Lucian also
played in 27 games,
hitting .378 and
driving in 21 runs.
Antonio Lopez II,
who played in 26 games, was the
Knights closer this season. He proved
his toughness in the PAL title game,
coming from left eld to pitch with the
bases loaded and no outs. Despite allow-
ing three M-Arunners to score, he got a
sacrice yout and back-to-back strike-
outs to preserve the victory. Overall,
Lopez made 12 appearances on the
mound, going 3-0 with three saves and a
2.39 earned run average. Garrett Matsuda
and David Farnham also pitched in the
title game as sophomores.
Rylan Pade also played a key role as
both a rst baseman and a pitcher. He
played in 28 games and posted a 2.69
ERAover 13 innings pitched.

Last season, when the San Francisco
Giants ran their Little Busters advertising
campaign starring Buster Posey and his
legions of young fans, they really should
have signed up Terra Nova softball catcher
Taylor Gomes for a co-starring role.
Gomes is a gritty, nose-to-the-grindstone
talent behind the plate. And the reason she
takes the game so seriously, no doubt, is
she is cut from a baseball background.
Terra Nova head coach Donna Tolero raves
about her young catcher. Still a sophomore
who is relatively new to the softball ranks,
Gomes may be rough around the edges when
it comes to the graces of the game. But after
spending two years behind the plate as a
varsity starter including a rst-team All-
Ocean Division honor this year she has
made great strides toward becoming the
Tigers franchise player.
Its that intensity and heart and drive that
makes her a better player, Tolero said.
While the Tigers wont be appearing in the
Central Coast Section playoffs this season,
it isnt for lack of determination by Gomes.
Sacricing her body all season long at plays
at the plate, the sophomore almost punctuat-
ed Terra Novas season with such a play.
With Terra Nova just one out away from a
playoff berth while clinging to a 1-0 lead
over Mills in the seventh inning, the
Vikings attempted to tie it on a bang-bang
play at the plate. Like she did time and time
again this season, though, Gomes attempt-
ed to block the plate and made a textbook
tag. The call went Mills way as the runner
was called safe. The Vikings went on to win
the game 2-1 and with the victory earned the
lone CCS berth from the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division.
It really could have gone either way, but
they called her safe, Tolero said.

BROSSARD, Quebec Without Carey
Price, the run for a rst Stanley Cup in 21 years
got steeper and longer for the Montreal
Canadiens.
Coach Michel Therrien looked grim and
even angry Monday in announcing that the
goaltender who backstopped Canada to the
gold medal at the Sochi Olympics will miss the
rest of the Eastern Conference nals.
He gave no details of the injury, a suspected
right knee problem, but suggested Price would
be back if the Canadiens can get past the New
York Rangers and reach the Stanley Cup nal.
Really disappointed. Hes our best player,
Therrien said. We need to rally around Carey.
We need to give him a chance to play again
this season.
Third stringer Dustin Tokarski started Game
2 on Monday night, with Montreal looking to
even the best-of-seven series after it was rout-
ed 7-2 in the opener.
Backup Peter Budaj has been with the club all
season, but has a terrible career playoff record
that includes an 0-2-0 record and an .843 save
percentage.
Tokarski had never played an NHL playoff
game, but the 24-year-old has excelled at every
level, winning a Memorial Cup with Spokane
in 2008, a world junior championship with
Canada in 2009 and an AHLtitle with Norfolk
in 2012.
He was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2008 and
acquired by Montreal Feb. 14, 2013 for
Cedrick Desjardins in a swap of minor league
goalies. He spent most of the season with AHL
Hamilton, but played three games for Montreal
this season and defeated Buffalo 2-0.
Price clutched his right knee when Rangers
forward Chris Kreider crashed into him skates-
rst at 3:15 of the second period Saturday.
Price got up and nished the period, but did-
nt look comfortable in allowing two goals in
the nal 1:01. He was replaced in the third by
Budaj, who allowed three goals on eight shots.
After the game, Therrien said he removed
Price not because of injury but because there
was no use leaving him in with the team play-
ing poorly.
He was angrier the next day when it became
clear the injury was worse than rst suspected,
saying Kreider could have tried to avoid the
collision. And he was simmering Monday,
pointing out Kreiders history of hitting
goalies.
Kreider left Ottawas Craig Anderson with a
knee injury when he crashed the crease during
the regular season. He also elbowed Marc-
Andre Fleurys head in Game 6 of the confer-
ence seminals, although the Pittsburgh
goalie was not hurt.
Therrien called it a reckless play.
Thats the truth, he said. And Kreider,
thats not the rst time hes going at goalies.
So we end up losing our best player. But our
group faced a lot of adversity throughout the
course of the season. We have the attitude to
respond really well and thats what Im expect-
ing.
Kreider said his main regret was missing the
net with his shot as he went in on a breakaway
and lost his footing.
Obviously, I was trying to score a goal,
the 6-foot-3, 226-pound forward said. Im
here to play my game and play hard and I think
Im a clean player. I dont go out with the
intent to hurt anyone, ever, so Im going to
continue to try and get to the net and score
goals.
In the third period, Montreals Brandon
Prust slashed and cross-checked Kreider, earn-
ing two minor penalties and a misconduct. But
Therrien said the Canadiens were more con-
cerned with trying to win the series than with
vengeance.
We know what happened with Kreider, we
know his history, we know a lot of things,
Therrien said. But our main focus is to make
sure we play a solid game. Make sure we play
hard, we play with passion, that we be disci-
plined, and play the way we are capable of
playing.
The Canadiens are now in the same predica-
ment as Tampa Bay, their rst-round opponent
that was missing injured goaltender Ben
Bishop. Montreal swept the series.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said it wont
change their game plans against Montreal.
Prior to the series, we had prepared for three
possible goaltenders, obviously, spending
more time on Price, he said. Its very unfor-
tunate what happened to him. But for us, its
business as usual.
Canadiens goalie Carey Price out for series
Rangers 3, Canadiens 1
MONTREAL Henrik Lundqvist made 40 saves and Martin
St. Louis scored in the second period and the New York
Rangers earned a 3-1 victory over the Carey Price-less
Montreal Canadiens on Monday.
The Rangers lead the best-of-seven
Eastern Conference nal 2-0 heading back
to New York for Game 3 on Thursday and
Game 4 on Sunday.
St. Louis scored a day after he and his
teammates attended the funeral of his
mother, who died just before Mother's
Day. The Rangers have rallied around the
grieving veteran and have won ve in a
row.
New York's Rick Nash also scored while
Ryan McDonagh added a goal and an
assist to give the defenseman six points in the opening two
games of the series.
Max Pacioretty scored for Montreal, which outshot
New York 41-30.
"It's been an emotional weekend," St. Louis said. "I'll de-
nitely never forget this weekend for many reasons, but I think
the grieving process will still take a while.
"But that stuff is behind me. Tonight, we wanted to make
sure we'd have the emotion we'd need to win this game because
we knew they would come out hard, especially rallying, los-
ing their best player, so I though we answered."
The Canadiens had Dustin Tokarski playing his rst career
NHLplayoff game in goal in place of Price, the Olympic gold
medalist who hurt his right knee in the series opener when
Chris Kreider crashed into the net.

NEW YORK California Chrome beat
out an idiosyncratic racing rule by a
nose.
The colt is back on track for his Triple
Crown try after an only-in-New York equip-
ment ban appeared ready to put a kink in his
Triple Crown try at the Belmont Stakes.
The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes
winner was cleared to wear the nasal strip he
has worn all through a six-race winning
streak that has set him up for a chance at
horse racings 12th Triple Crown.
New York racetracks have a rule prohibit-
ing any equipment not specifically
approved by stewards, and nasal strips were
not on their list. Astatement from the New
York Racing Association and the states
Gaming Commission on Monday said the
tracks three stewards unanimously agreed
to lift the ban.
The strip worn by California Chrome dur-
ing his six-race winning streak is thought
to assist airow through the nostrils
something that should
come in handy June 7 for
Belmonts grueling run.
I think it opens up his
air passage and gives him
that little extra oomph
that he needs, especially
going a mile and a half,
trainer Art Sherman said.
Any time you can have a
good air passage that
means a lot for these
thoroughbreds.
Other states allow equine nasal strips

Racing hasnt had a Triple Crown winner
since Afrmed in 1978, and the sports pop-
ularity has waned in the nearly four decades
since. But it gets a boost every time a horse
heads to the Big Apple with a Triple Crown
on the line.
Sherman raised the possibility his horse
wouldnt run in the Belmont if barred from
using a nasal strip, but the problem was
solved in about 24 hours, clearing the way
for big crowds and plenty of betting at
Belmont in less than three weeks.
Two years ago, Doug ONeill trained Ill
Have Another to victories in the Kentucky
Derby and Preakness with the colt wearing a
nasal strip. New York ofcials told ONeill
his horse couldnt wear one in the Belmont.
The issue became moot when Ill Have
Another was scratched the day before the
race because of a leg injury.
This Belmont Stakes is shaping up as a
possible 11-horse race, including two new-
comers to the Triple Crown trail:
Commissioner, sixth in the Arkansas
Derby; and Tonalist, the Peter Pan Stakes
winner.

The Warriors job is certainly a far more
attractive one than when owner Joe Lacob
hired Jackson away from broadcast table in
June 2011. The Warriors are coming off a
51-win season and consecutive playoff
appearances for the rst time in 20 years,
and theyve surrounded star Stephen Curry
with a talented young core.
Im really excited about the unique
opportunity to coach a very talented team
and work for this committed management
group, Kerr said in a statement. In my
estimation, the Warriors, from top to bot-
tom, have become one of the marquee organ-
izations in the NBA in recent years. Im
looking forward to becoming part of that
environment and building upon the success
of the last two seasons.

Sports brief
BETHESDA, Md. Tiger Woods still does-
nt know when hell return. For a while, he did-
nt know whether he would return at all.
Woods said Monday his back injury became
so debilitating this year it caused him to
doubt his ability to play golf again.
Forget about playing golf at the highest
level. I couldnt get out of bed, Woods said. I
was certainly doubtful at that point. Whats it
going to feel like? Am I going to be pain free?
Am I going to be able to actually do this again,
where I can to get out of bed, and go out there
and play with my kids and play golf? All those
things were up in the air.
Woods said the doubt
was erased after microdis-
cectomy surgery March
31. He said the procedure,
which relieved pain from a
pinched nerve, provided
immediate relief, although
he said theres still no
timetable for his return to
golf or even for taking
a full swing. As of now, he
remains limited to chipping and putting.
Its not going to be up to me whether I play
or not, its going to be up to my docs, Woods
said. Obviously, I want to play now.
Speaking at Congressional Country Club
in his role as host of next months Quicken
Loans National, Woods even joked that he
wished he could join reporters on the course
for their media day rounds even though I
dont like to play with you guys.
But he offered no hint that he might be any-
thing more than an onlooker for the Quicken
Loans tournament on June 26-29 or at the
U.S. Open at Pinehurst two weeks earlier. Hes
already missed the Masters for the rst time.
To hear Woods, known for unyielding
resolve, give voice to doubts is certainly
unusual. But this injury is different from those
he has endured before. He said rehab has been
tedious and its a challenge simply not to join
in when his children want to play sports.
No timetable for Woods return

Ally Howe,
Sacred Heart Prep swimming
The senior closed out her final high
school competition with a ourish, win-
ning a pair of individual titles and two relay
championships at the CCS championships
Saturday. She also set three CCS records in
the process. She opened with three team-
mates to set a new 200 medley relay record,
posting a time of 1:44.10. She then set a
CCS record in the 200 individual medley,
where her time of 1:57.75 broke the 2012
record of 1:57.94 set by Palo Altos
Jasmine Tosky. Howe set her third record in
the 100 backstroke with a time of 51.54.
She then teamed against and was a member
of the Gators CCS-winning 400 free relay
squad with a time of 3:25.03.
Antonio Lopez II, Menlo baseball
The sophomore closer came into the game
with the bases loaded and no outs in the top
of the seventh with the Knights leading 7-
3. He allowed three inherited runners to
score, but got back-to-back strikeouts to
end it and preserve a 7-6 Menlo win, captur-
ing the Peninsula Athletic League tourna-
ment title.
Jared Lucian, Menlo baseball
The sophomore lit it up through the PAL
tourney, going 6 for 11 with six RBIs and
ve runs scored through the Knights three
straight wins to capture the league tourna-
ment title. His weeklong hot streak was
highlighted by a 4-for-5 day in Menlos 14-
1 win at Capuchino Thursday, with the four
hits standing as Lucians career high. The
middle inelder currently paces the Knights
with a .378 batting average and 34 hits.
Davis Rich, Menlo baseball
Another big sophomore performance for
the Knights, Rich took the mound for just
his second start of the year and red a com-
plete game in a 5-4 win over Half Moon Bay
Wednesday. Rich allowed four runs (one
earned) on vfe hits, and persevered a late
surge by the Cougars, who overtook the
Knights 4-3 in the sixth. But Menlos
offense wittled single runs in the sixth and
the seventh to help their pitcher earn his
second win of the season.
Joe Kmak, Serra swimming
Finished second in the 100 breaststroke
in a time of 55.99 at CCS.
Chad Franquez, Aragon baseball
The sophomore pitcher picked off four
Menlo-Atherton runners in just 4 1/3
innings of work during the Dons 6-5, 10-
inning loss to M-A in the second round of
the PAL tournament. In last Tuesdays 6-0
win over Burlingame in the tourney opener,
the junior also accounted for most of
Aragons runs, going 2 for 3 with two RBIs
and three runs scored.
Brendan Donnelly, Aragon baseball
Donnelly had three hits and reached base
in all four of his at-bats, driving in a pair of
runs during the Dons loss to M-Ain the PAL
tournament.
Lawson Joos, M-A baseball
Joos, who didnt have an at-bat until the
bottom of the eighth inning, put down a
sacrice squeeze bunt in the bottom of the
10th inning that scored two runs to give the
Bears an improbable 6-5, walk-off win over
Aragon in the second round of the PAL tour-
nament.
Matt McGarry, M-A baseball
The Bears ace pitcher, McGarry worked
six innings against Aragon in the second
round of the PAL tournament, striking out
nine. He took a no-decision in the Bears
6-5, 10-inning win over Aragon.
Amy Francis, Half Moon Bay softball
The senior took advantage of a second
chance when she hit a foul fly that popped
out of the glove of the Capuchino left
fielder. Francis jumped on the next pitch,
singling to left to drive in a pair of runs in
the bottom of the sixth inning, turning a
2-1 Cougars deficit into an eventual 3-2
win to finish in a tie for second in the
PALs Bay Division and securing an auto-
matic berth into the Central Coast Section
playoffs.
Talbott Paulsen, M-A diving
The sophomore finished fourth in the 1-
meter springboard at the CCS champi-
onships.
Drew Jung, Carlmont diving
The senior took third in the 1-meter
springboard at CCS.
Steve Sagasty, Terra Nova baseball
In his first start since April 21, the sen-
ior right-hander led the Tigers to an 8-2
win Wednesday over Sacred Heart Prep.
Sagasty went 6 2/3 innings for his longest
outing of the year.
Paulie Ferrari, Burlingame baseball
The freshman made his varsity debut out
of the bullpen last Tuesday in Burlingames
6-0 loss to Aragon in the PAL tournament
opener. The right-hander made a quick
impression, firing a perfect seventh with a
pair of strikeouts.
Leah Goldman,
Burlingame swimming
The Duke-bound Goldman finished sec-
ond in the 200 IM with a time of 1:59.82
and was first in the 100 fly with a time
54.06, nearly half a second faster than
the second-place finisher in the CCS
championships.
Rebecca Faulkner,
Carlmont softball
In leading the Scots to their 17th and
18th win respectively, Faulkner tabbed
her two highest strikeout totals of the
season. In a 3-1 victory over Burlingame
last Tuesday, the season notched her sea-
son-high of 11 strikeouts. Thursday, she
bettered the total with a 13-strikeout per-
formance in a 7-1 win against Sequoia.
The southpaws career-high is 14 strike-
outs, which she tallied last season as a
junior April 7, 2013 against Half Moon
Bay.
Annalisa Crowe,
Menlo-Atherton track and field
The sophomore showed all the promise
to whcih the M-A track team looks for-
ward in the years to come. Crowe won
three events at Saturdays PAL
Championship at Terra Nova, highlight-
ed by setting a personal record in the
1,600-meter with a first-place time of
5:17.37. She also took first place in the

also ran the anchor leg of M-As win the
4x400 meter relay with a time of
4:05.54, with the race being run by three
sophomores and a junior.

DAILY JOURNAL FILE PHOTO
Taylor Gomes has made a habit of blocking opposing runners from home plate, as she did in
an April 16 game against PAL Ocean rival San Mateo.
Almost 500 to go, I was feeling pretty
good and I got that kick, Castro said.
For Castro, who always seems to be in
control, its all about the kick. Thats where
the training comes in. Enduring four-per-
formance days under the spotlight of play-
off conditions is all part of a deliberate
strategy by Holmes, who is gearing his sen-
ior towards the 800 at the Central Coast
Section nals May 30 at San Jose City
College and hopefully beyond, as Castro
ranks among Northern Californias top 10
in the event.
He hasnt had a meet this year where hes
been able to focus on just one race and go
into the 800 with fresh legs, Holmes said.
Still, Castro runs for distance with bril-
liant strategy. In Saturdays 1,600, he draft-
ed behind Carlmonts Ryan Dimick and Half
Moon Bays Logan Marshall who n-
ished second and third, respectively for
the rst mile and a half. Content to race
from third place until the penultimate lap,
he quickly moved into second place before
using the kick to take off like a bullet going
into the bell lap.
It was a classic performance for what was
the nal two-mile competition of Castros
career. Now, if Holmes strategy pays off,
Castro will hit stride in CCS with some-
thing of a long-term kick. It is precisely
this strategy that saw Holmes have Castro
refrain from overdoing it early this season.
I didnt want to put too many miles on
him, Holmes said. Thats why we didnt
do too many invitationals. We wanted to
save it for days like [Saturday].
Castros biggest improvement in the mile
was between his sophomore and junior sea-
son. As a sophomore, he ran the 1,600 at an
average of 4:40. Then at the outset of his
junior season, he cracked the 4:19 thresh-
old.
Taking the track for the 1,600 Saturday, it
was obvious Castro owns the event.
Without a single step of arrogance, Castro
walked onto the track out front of the rest of
the pack. With the starting gun, he immedi-
ately accelerated out front and held his lead
throughout. He absolutely ew through the
nal 400 meters, holding off Half Moon
Bays Marshall in second and Carlmonts
Johain Ounadjela in third who each nished
less than two seconds back of the leader.
The 800 is a different story though.
Castro holds the top time in CCS in the
event this season with a time of 1:55.54.
His top two rivals in CCS appear to be St.
Francis Gabriel MacLarnan, who recently
matched Gabriels time of 1:55.54 and
Woodside Priorys Ross Corey at 1:56.17.
But Saturday, Castro showed he can obliter-
ate the eld head-to-head, nishing over
four seconds ahead of M-As Adam
Scandlyn, who took second place with a
time of 2:00.56.
Im kind of used to running by myself,
Castro said after the win.
Thats good, because once he steps onto
the track, Castro is in a class by himself.
AOTW
Spurs 122, Thunder 105
SAN ANTONIO Tim Duncan scored 27
points and the San Antonio Spurs took
advantage of Serge Ibakas absence to dom-
inate the paint, beating the Oklahoma City
Thunder 122-105 on Monday night in the
opener of the Western Conference nals.
Manu Ginobili added 18 points and Kawhi
Leonard and Danny Green had 16 points
each. Tony Parker did not appear limited by
a hamstring injury, scoring 14 points and
having 12 asssists.
Kevin Durant scored 28 points and
Russell Westbrook added 25. Oklahoma
Citys remaining starters, Nick Collison,
Thabo Sefolosha and Kendrick Perkins com-
bined to score ve points.
San Antonio had 66 points in the paint
and shot 58 percent from the eld.
was that of Gomes, who had a much more blunt
description of the play that could have ended
the regular season and propelled Terra Nova to
the playoffs.
She was out, Gomes said. Mills pretty
much got four outs in that inning.
Gomes wasnt attempting to be critical.
Shes just matter-of-fact old-school. The rea-
son is simple. She is a baseball player trapped
in a softball players body.
Having grown up in the baseball town of
Pacica, Gomes got her start as a baseball play-
er as a 4-year-old when her parents signed her
up for tee-ball. She quickly fell in love with the
sport. While she was still in coach-pitch little
league, she started catching. As she got older
though, she started getting grief from many of
the boys with whom she grew up playing.
By that time, the boys were starting to
become boys and they didnt like the fact that I
was on the team, Gomes said. A lot of the
times when wed play on the other side of town
in American Little League, the boys would try
to throw at my head and stuff.
So, Gomes opted out of her Pacica league
to play in an adult womens baseball league.
According to Gomes, she was invited to play
with the San Francisco Angels. And while she
enjoyed playing in the league of their own,
her teammates soon encouraged her to give
softball a try.
I think it helped shape me as who I am as a
softball player, because the rule in baseball is
theres no crying in baseball, Gomes said.
Gomes nally listened to her Angels team-
mates and tried out for Toleros travel team, the
Pacica Fusion. It was with the Fusion the nucle-
us of the current Terra Nova squad started, with
Gomes joining the likes of Gabby Spencer-
Crook, McKenna Borovina and 2014 co-Ocean
Division Player of the Year Maia Borovina.
It just felt nice because a lot of the girls were
already together, Gomes said. We could do
girl things and all play softball together and
have a really nice time. And I made a lot of good
friends who Im still playing with today.
While the renaissance of Terra Nova softball
features plenty of talent, no one in the mix
owns a better game face than Gomes. And the
sophomore was involved in her fair share of
plays at the plate this season. May 1 against
Jefferson, Gomes got run over and took a pret-
ty severe blow to the head.
I dont even know if I had a concussion or
not, Gomes said. But it turned out OK. I got
up and I nished the game. And we won. So, it
all worked out.
Gomes didnt mention the possibility of a
concussion in the dugout though. The reason
was simple. Terra Nova was on the verge of a
rivalry game.
I didnt say anything, Gomes said. We
were playing Half Moon Bay the next day. I had
to be there that game.
Gomes is a gamer through and through, as
evidenced by the relationship she forged with
7-year-old Annika Johnson this season.
Johnson is one of two Pacica girls who were
diagnosed with cancer late last year. The
Pacica baseball community invested in
fundraisers for the two girls, the other being 8-
year-old Bella Hung.
Gomes bonded with Johnson at a February
fundraiser, and even invited the young cancer
patient to throw out the rst pitch at Terra
Novas May 12 game against South City.
Shes just a little kid. Im so proud of her.
Shes so strong too. She was a trooper that
day, Gomes said. She was so full of life. It was
so good to see her doing well and loving life
and just living it to the fullest even with the sit-
uation she was dealt.
While Gomes may be a baseball player at
heart, she is certainly making her way on the
softball diamond. Its just that shes bringing
her baseball virtues with her.
To this day I miss baseball, but I do love
softball, Gomes said.

WHATS ON TAP
the end of the season, is a bit envi-
ous of his successor.
I wont be around (to enjoy their
maturation), Schoof said. But
theres a real future here.
***
Sometimes, there just isnt
enough space in a game story to
fully explain a game. The Aragon-
Menlo-Atherton Peninsula Athletic
League second-round tournament
game is one such example. There
was so much that went on in that
game that I couldnt possibly get it
all in to my game story.
So, Im fortunate to have this
space to expand further.
First of all, it is probably the
most exciting high school baseball
game Ive ever witnessed. The fact it
ended on a two-run, squeeze-bunt
play was the icing on the cake. And
while I touched on some of the
incredible feats in the game, Id like
to break them down a little more.
First, there was Aragon pitcher
Chad Franquez picking off four M-A
baserunners in less than ve innings
of work. His rst came in the rst
inning at rst base, his second in the
second inning, also at rst base. He
picked off a runner at second base in
the third inning and completed his
quad in the fourth inning.
Then there was Lawson Joos
game-winning sacrice bunt. With
one out, M-Agot a walk and a sin-
gle to put runners on rst and sec-
ond. The big play in the inning,
however, was the balk called
against the Aragon reliever, which
enabled the runners to move up to
second and third. After an intention-
al walk to load the bases and set up
force-outs at any base, Joos deliv-
ered his sac bunt.
All told, the game last 3 hours
and 40 minutes, beginning at 4
p.m. and not ending until 7:40 p.m.
as daylight was rapidly fading. If M-
Ahad only tied the game and not
won it, chances were very good the
game would have been called on
account of darkness, and that would
have thrown a serious wrench into
the tournament, which scheduled
four straight days of games.
Aragon sent 44 batters to the plate
over 10 innings, while M-Ahad 48
in 9 2/3 innings. M-Apitchers Matt
McGarry and A.J. Lemons combined
to strike out 13 Aragon batters. M-A
struck out six times, ve of them
looking at called third strikes. The
Bears also drew nine walks.
And in nearly 10 innings of a 7-6
game, there were only two extra-
base hits: a double from M-As Erik
Amundson leading off the bottom of
the rst inning and a double from
Aragons Matt Foppiano in the top
of the eighth inning.

SLEEP APNEA

Dental mouth guard treatsSleep Apnea and snoring
By Lauran Neergaard
and Jennifer Agiesta
WASHINGTON More Americans may
wind up helping Mom as she gets older, but
a new poll shows the most stressful kind of
caregiving is for a frail spouse.
The population is rapidly aging, but peo-
ple arent doing much to get ready even
though government gures show nearly 7 in
10 Americans will need long-term care at
some point after they reach age 65.
In fact, people 40 and over are more likely
to discuss their funeral plans than their pref-
erences for assistance with day-to-day living
as they get older, according to the poll by
the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs
Research.
Five ndings from the poll:
EFFECT ON FAMILIES
Half of people 40 and older already have
been caregivers to relatives or friends. Six in
10 have provided care to a parent, mostly a
mother, while 14 percent have cared for a
spouse or partner.
Overwhelmingly, caregivers called it a
positive experience. But its also incredibly
difcult, especially for spouses. While 7 in
10 who cared for a spouse said their relation-
ship grew stronger as a result, nearly two-
thirds said it caused stress in their family
compared with about half among those who
cared for a parent.
Its not just an emotional challenge but a
physical one: The average age of spouse
caregivers was 67, compared to 58 for peo-
ple whove cared for a parent.
Virginia Brumley, 79, said caring for her
husband Jim for nearly ve years as he suf-
fered from dementia strengthened their bond.
But eventually he needed a nursing home
because he was too big for me. He was as
helpless as a baby, she said.
LONG-TERM PLANNING
Athird of Americans in this age group are
deeply concerned that they wont plan
enough for the care theyll need in their sen-
ior years, and that theyll burden their fami-
lies.
Yet two-thirds say theyve done little or no
planning. About 32 percent say theyve set
aside money to pay for ongoing living
assistance; 28 percent have modied their
home to make it easier to live in when
theyre older.
In contrast, two-thirds have disclosed
their funeral plans.
Anthony Malen, 86, of Gilroy, California
said he and his wife Eva Mae, who has a vari-
ety of health problems, never discussed a
plan for caregiving as they got older.
She doesnt want anyone in the house.
She doesnt want any help. She fusses about
it so much, I just give up on it. But if it gets
any worse, were going to have to have it,
Malen said. Im getting older too.
BECOMING A CAREGIVER
Three in 10 Americans 40 and older think
its very likely that an older relative or friend
will need care within the next ve years.
Just 30 percent who expect to provide that
care feel very prepared for the job, while half
say theyre somewhat prepared. But only 40
percent have discussed their loved ones
preferences for that assistance or where they
want to live. Women are more likely than
men to have had those tough conversations.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Some 53 percent of people underestimate
the monthly cost of a nursing home, about
$6,900. Another third underestimate the cost
of assisted living, about $3,400. One in 5
wrongly thought a home health aide costs
less than $1,000 a month.
Contrary to popular belief, Medicare does-
nt pay for the most common long-term care
and last year, a bipartisan commission
appointed by Congress couldnt agree on
how to nance those services, either. But
nearly 6 in 10 Americans 40 and older sup-
port some type of government-administered
long-term care insurance program, a 7 point
increase from last years AP survey.
WHAT ELSE MIGHT HELP?
More than three-fourths of this age group
favor tax breaks to encourage saving for
long-term care or for purchasing long-term
care insurance. Only a third favor a require-
ment to purchase such coverage.
Some 8 in 10 want more access to commu-
nity services that help the elderly live inde-
pendently.
More than 70 percent support respite care
programs for family caregivers and letting
people take time off work or adjust their
schedules to accommodate caregiving.
The AP-NORC Center survey was conduct-
ed by telephone March 13 to April 23 among
a random national sample of 1,419 adults
age 40 or older, with funding from the SCAN
Foundation. Results for the full survey have
a margin of sampling error of plus or minus
3.6 percentage points.
Poll: More stress in caring
for spouse than parent
People 40 and over are more likely to discuss their funeral plans than their preferences for
assistance with day-to-day living as they get older.

dents on the June 3 primary ballot.
Supporters of Measure E believe the deci-
sion to retrot, repair, widen or replace
should be reserved by the City Council.
Mayor John Mueller and Councilman Rick
Kowalczyk said the goal is to bring the his-
toric bridge up to current seismic and func-
tional safety standards, maintain a similar
quaint design and make use of federal fund-
ing. They also said they want to create a
bike path and support local merchants dur-
ing construction.
This (bridge) is technically historic. I
get that, its value is important. But we need
to provide a safe bridge, Kowalczyk said.
The character isnt going to be lost, the t
for the community isnt going to be lost.
Supporters of Measure F argue the council
lost its clout when it failed to follow the
regulatory process of initially looking at
alternatives and that the historic nature of
the bridge will be lost if its replaced. They
also believe the infrastructure is already
structurally safe and that replacing it will
be burdensome to Main Street merchants
and more costly than repairing it.
Former Mayor Debbie Ruddock, a
Measure F advocate who served on the
council until 2003, said the city failed to
abide by laws that protect historic struc-
tures and overlooked the publics desires.
They (the council) have to show theres
no other feasible alternative to repairing
the bridge before going forward, Ruddock
said.
The heated battle began after Caltrans
gave it a sufciency rating of 24 out of 100
and the council voted in September to
replace the bridge. Whichever way the vote
turns, the project could take years and will
undergo extensive review such as the
National Environmental Policy Act and the
California Environmental Quality Act.
Historic nature
Measure F supporter Charles Nelson, a
Main Street business owner, said the bridge
is historic because it was one of the rst
concrete structures to be reinforced with
steel in California and any replacement
would void that.
Ruddock said its been listed on the
National Register of Historic Places and it
was made to last for centuries. Ruddock and
Nelson said the bridge adds to the historic
nature of downtown and its 24-foot-wide
design serves as a trafc calming measure.
Kowalczyk agrees its the reinforced con-
crete arch that makes it historic, but no one
ever sees it because its illegal to view from
underneath due to the environmentally sen-
sitive Pilarcitos Creek. Also, the entire
bridge isnt historic as parts of it, such as
the sidewalks and railings, were added later.
The council is dedicated to any repairs or
replacement replicating its current aesthet-
ics, Kowalczyk said.
Procedure
Mueller said the council had to identify a
project before initiating NEPA and CEQA
reviews and, although two reputable engi-
neering rms have recommended replace-
ment, the bridge will continue to undergo
independent testing.
The council serves as stewards to the
community and limiting any repairs by
necessitating further elections will be cost-
ly and hinder the political process, Mueller
said.
Now that the environmental review has
been started, the city will be looking at all
options, including repairing the bridge,
before making a final determination,
Mueller said.
Kowalczyk concedes the council could
have initially eased the community into the
process potentially avoiding the current
volatile dynamic. But that slow or fast, it
still needs to be a safe, historic looking,
low cost bridge, Kowalczyk said.
Ruddock said the council wanted a new
bridge from the get-go and it should have
started reviewing other options before
making a decision.
We really need a strong scope of work
and that needs to be done in a transparent
process, Ruddock said. When youre in a
position of trust, you ask questions. I never
heard What does the law say about this?
The public wrote its own measure and
gathered enough signatures to place it on
the November ballot. The city took out
some of the language, weakened their argu-
ments and placed Measure F on the June
ballot, Ruddock said.
Nelson and Ruddock said Caltrans score
of the bridge has been misinterpreted, that
its health rating is 89 and it is structurally
sound although it is considered functional-
ly decient because of the sidewalks and
width.
Nelson said the public begged the council
to test the strength of the bridge immedi-
ately and there could be other options such
as building a new bridge around the old one.
Nelson and Ruddock said because the city
didnt initially evaluate alternatives, it also
failed to look at federal grants for historic
structures.
Costs and funding
Ruddock estimated it would only cost no
more than $2 million to repair the bridge
and said there are federal grants that could
help pay but that the city hasnt applied.
Nelson said replacing the bridge would
take a signicant amount of time, discour-
age people from frequenting Main Street
and be financially burdensome to mer-
chants. Ruddock and Nelson said the
Chamber of Commerce has estimated mil-
lions of dollars would be lost if the bridge
is replaced.
Kowalzcyk said replacing the bridge is
expected to cost between $8 million and $9
million and although the citys already
been awarded funding, its under the condi-
tion of the bridge being brought up to cur-
rent safety standards and conforming to the
Americans with Disabilities Act. City staff
hasnt identied an available grant for his-
torical bridges and they are harder to come
by, Kowalzcyk said.
City infrastructure requires a regulatory
process, which will include requests for
proposals for construction and testing,
Mueller said, adding that estimates from a
friend of a friend wont work.
Kowalzcyk said hes already told many of
the merchants he would ensure the city sets
aside funding to host downtown events dur-
ing construction to encourage more people
to frequent Main Street during the bridges
closure. He also said the public needs to
consider the long-term costs of the bridge.
The city wont be eligible for future feder-
al funding if the bridge is only restored and,
if it were to fall down, the city would be on
the hook, Kowalzcyk said.
However, if it repairs or replaces within
federal guidelines and with federal grants,
the federal government will pay for future
repairs, Kowalzcyk said.

HEALTH 19
By Gregory Katz and Linda A. Johnson
LONDON The board of AstraZeneca on
Monday rejected the improved $119 bil-
lion takeover offer from U.S. drugmaker
Pfizer, a decision that caused a sharp slide
in the U.K. companys share price as many
investors think it effectively brings an end
to the protracted and increasingly bitter
takeover saga.
The board said in a statement that it
reiterates its confidence in AstraZenecas
ability to deliver on its prospects as an
independent, science led business.
Pfizer, which is the worlds second-
biggest drugmaker by revenue, has been
courting No. 8 AstraZeneca since January,
arguing their businesses are complementa-
ry. On Sunday, it raised its stock-and-cash
offer by 15 percent to $118.8 billion, or
70.73 billion pounds. That would be the
richest acquisition ever among drugmakers
and the third-biggest in any industry,
according to figures from research firm
Dealogic.
AstraZeneca didnt take long to reject the
new offer, its board arguing Pfizer is mak-
ing an opportunistic attempt to acquire a
transformed AstraZeneca, without reflect-
ing the value of its exciting pipeline of
experimental drugs.
Because Pfizer said it wont raise its offer
again or launch a hostile takeover bid over
the heads of AstraZenecas board, the
prospect of a deal looks increasingly
remote unless AstraZeneca shareholders
urge a change of mind. Pfizer has said it
hopes AstraZenecas shareholders will
push for a deal.
This has been going on for quite some
time and we have been in very deep
engagement over the whole of the week-
end, AstraZeneca Chairman Leif
Johansson told the BBC. If Pfizer now
says this is the final offer I have to believe
what they say.
Shareholders in AstraZeneca PLC seemed
to think a deal is now unlikely, with the
companys share price slumping 11.1 per-
cent to 42.87 pounds.
Johansson said his management team
had told Pfizer Inc. over the weekend that it
would need to see a 10 percent improve-
ment over the 53.50 pounds-per-share
offer that was on the table at that time. He
said Pfizers latest offer represented only a
minor improvement that fell short of the
10 percent needed.
Though it has said its indicative offer is
final, Pfizer has, under U.K. takeover
rules, until 5 p.m. local time on May 26 to
make a formal bid. If it doesnt, it cannot
make another offer for six months.
Pfizers offer comes amid a surge of other
deals as drugmakers look to either grow or
eliminate noncore assets to focus on their
strengths. Those deals include
Switzerlands Novartis AG agreeing to buy
GlaxoSmithKlines cancer-drug business
for up to $16 billion, to sell most of its
vaccines business to GSK for $7.1 billion,
plus royalties, and to sell its animal health
division to Eli Lilly and Co. of
Indianapolis for about $5.4 billion.
Canadas Valeant Pharmaceuticals has also
made an unsolicited offer of nearly $46 bil-
lion for Botox maker Allergan, which has
turned it down, so far.
Pfizers latest offer increased the ratio of
cash AstraZeneca shareholders would
receive, from 33 percent to 45 percent. The
latest offer would give them the equivalent
of 55 pounds for each AstraZeneca share,
split between 1.747 shares of the new
company and 2.476 pence in cash. It said
the offer represents a 45 percent premium
to AstraZenecas share price of 37.82
pounds on April 17, before rumors of the
deal began circulating.
Pfizer CEO Ian Read said the proposed
combination would yield great benefits to
patients and science in the UK and across
the globe.
AstraZeneca has insisted Pfizers offers
significantly undervalue the company and
its portfolio of experimental drugs. The
company and British government officials
also have raised concerns about the
prospect of job cuts, facility closures and
losing some of the science leadership in
the U.K., where London-based AstraZeneca
is the second-biggest drugmaker, behind
GlaxoSmithKline PLC.
Pfizer has assured such cuts would be lim-
ited. Its promised to complete
AstraZenecas research and development
hub in Cambridge. And it pledged to estab-
lish the new companys tax residence, but
not headquarters, in England, which would
significantly reduce its future tax rate.

to talk to both Pzer and AstraZeneca after the British drugmaker on Monday rejected a sweetened offer from the U.S. company.

In its report Partly Cloudy With a
Chance of Information, the jury con-
cluded that the website deficiencies
were not a matter of intentional hiding
but rather misinformation about the
cost, a lack of training about updates
and privacy concerns. A professional
developer could charge $1,000 to
$9,000 to create a website which could
then be updated in-house by trained
employees.
Using a website transparency check-
list created by the Special District
Leadership Foundation, the civil grand
jury evaluated the site of the 23 local
districts based on both the availability
of the items and the ease with which
they were found. Items searched includ-
ed member names and ofce terms,
staff names and contact information,
election procedures, the current budg-
et, most recent nancial audit, agendas
and meetings for the last six months.
The checklist also asks that at least
four of the following be included
online: member ethics training certi-
cates, photo, biography and email
address of members, the last three
years of audits, the reimbursement and
compensation policy, financial
reserves police, a downloadable public
records act request form, audio or video
recordings of board meetings, a dis-
trict map and the most recent munici-
pal service review and sphere of inu-
ence studies by the Local Agency
Formation Commission.
The jury also spoke with board mem-
bers, district employees and profes-
sional website developers to under-
stand the cost and logistics of main-
taining a useful site.
The grand jurys investigation
looked only at independent special
districts, like the San Mateo County
Harbor District, which have commis-
sioners elected by voters. The county
also has dependent districts governed
by the Board of Supervisors. Those
districts were not included.
Collectively, the 23 county districts
included in the analyses served
approximately 739,000 residents and
received nearly $100 million in prop-
erty tax revenue last scal year, accord-
ing to the Controllers Office.
However, the jury pointed to a
statewide poll that indicated only a
quarter of residents know how the dis-
tricts are managed, spend money and
provide services. The websites are a
tool for educating the public about dis-
trict business and constituents should
nd the information easily accessi-
ble, the jury stated in its report.
The jury concluded that all 23 special
independent districts lack some infor-
mation and 15 had substantial inade-
quacies in revealing information
regarding nances, staff and board of
directors or commissioners contacts
and board of commission minutes.
The report did not parse out which dis-
tricts were missing what pieces of
information and Foreperson Kati
Martin did not return a call for com-
ment.
The civil grand jury reports carry no
legal weight but recipients must
respond in writing within 90 days. For
this report, respondents include the
Bayshore Sanitary District,
Broadmoor Police Protection District,
Coastside County Waster District,
Coastside Fire District, Colma Fire
Protection District, East Palo Alto
Sanitary District, Granada Sanitary
District, Highlands Recreation
District, Ladera Recreation District,
Los Trancos County Water District,
Menlo Park Fire Protection District,
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District, Mid-Peninsula Water District,
Montara Water and Sanitary District,
Mosquito and Vector Control District,
North Coast County Water District,
Peninsula Health Care District,
Resource Conservation District, San
Mateo County Harbor District, Sequoia
Healthcare District, West Bay Sanitary
District, Westborough Water District
and Woodside Fire Protection District.
The jurys recommendations to each
include conforming to the checklist
criteria by May 15, 2015, consulting
with professional website developers
by Dec. 31, 2014, if in-house staff
cant create and manage a website, be
trained in district governance and
transparency and have district admin-
istrators by certied.
WEBSITES
To make that transition, its going
to take political will, its going to
take investment, and its going to take
the support of the people in the state
and ultimately the people in the coun-
try, because we cant do it alone,
Brown said.
The state Legislature approved
Californias landmark global warming
law, AB32, in 2006. It aims to reduce
carbon emissions to 1990 levels by
2020 partly through stringent air pol-
lution regulations that business lead-
ers say make the state less competi-
tive.
The law already has shaken up the
states industrial sector, costing it
more than $1.5 billion in pollution
permit fees.
That is an enormous challenge, but
Californias actually committed to
moving down that path, of aligning
our common way of life in California
with the demands of nature as we now
understand them scientically, Brown
said.
Lawmakers in the state capital are
debating whether to include $250 mil-
lion in revenue from cap-and-trade pol-
lution credits to help pay for a bullet
train, as Brown wants.
About a dozen protesters rallied out-
side the auditorium where Brown
spoke, urging him to end hydraulic
fracturing for oil and gas and chanting,
Were going to beat back his frack
attack.
Californians Against Fracking said
in a news release that new fracking
technology is opening up huge new
sources of dirty oil in Californias
Monterey Shale formation to extrac-
tion and combustion, threatening the
states leadership on climate.
Sabrina Lockhart, spokeswoman for
Californians for a Safe, Secure Energy
Future, which supports expanding oil
drilling in California, countered that
opening up the Monterey Shale to
fracking will ensure more of the oil
that Californians use complies with its
rigorous environmental standards
while the state seeks alternative
sources of energy.
Brown often cites his plan for the
$68 billion high-speed rail system
linking Northern and Southern
California as a way to reduce carbon
emissions, but he did not bring up the
project on Monday.
CLIMATE
older, I thought maybe I should inu-
ence more kids.
During Taylors two-week trip to
Bolgatanga, Ghana, she will distrib-
ute the K-12 level new and gently used
books shes collected through drives
and going door to door in
Hillsborough, Burlingame and San
Mateo. The books will go to 10
schools in Northern Ghana, reaching
2,000 students through Child Action
Mobilization project-Ghana, a non-
prot led by Pastor Francis Opoku.
Some of the books will go to a new
library being built for the children.
Taylor hopes Book Buddies will
continue after she graduates from
Notre Dame, with underclassmen tak-
ing the helm. She wants to continue to
collect books for the children herself
as well.
I want to continue this for as long
as I can, she said.
Whats impressed Taylor most is the
amount of books and help
people are willing to pro-
vide for her cause.
I wasnt expecting to get
this many, she said.
With $2,000 in shipping
costs, at a charity rate, to
mail the books to Africa,
Taylor held car washes and
bake sales to raise funds.
Books in her collection
include Harry Potter,
Curious George and Alice
in Wonderland. The recipi-
ents can all read English.
Her group is mainly focus-
ing on literacy for younger
children now.
Next summer, Taylor plans
to collect books for
Ethiopia.
Although the books for
Ghana have already been
shipped off through San
Francisco International
Airport, Taylor is still col-
lecting books and can be
reached at
ataylor16@ndhsb.org.

CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2014
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont let personal
problems override your professional responsibilities.
You have to carry your share of the work. Relationship
complications will have to be dealt with after hours.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will face nancial
woes if you take a risk. Dont be shy about your desire
to advance professionally. You are likely to improve
your job prospects by networking with peers.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) There may be a lot
of items on your most-wanted list, but you must be
sensible. You can avoid a major argument with a loved
one by curbing your spending.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If your current relationship
is unsatisfying, you should make a clean break and
move on. Its not fair to either party if there is no
commitment on your part.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try your best to get along
with your co-workers. You may be dismayed to learn
that someone you like doesnt feel the same way. Dont
take it to heart, and move on with an untroubled mind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Dont spend money
on others just to win approval. Focus on self-
improvement projects that boost your esteem, and the
people you are trying to impress will respond to your
relaxed and self-condent attitude.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Anger is self-
destructive, so use up negative energy by doing some
work around the house. The busier you are, the less
likely you are to squabble.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Look before you
leap into a new job or partnership. You may have
been sold something that doesnt really exist. Dont
burn bridges, and dont be gullible. Ask questions and
clarify issues of concern.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are caring and
helpful, but please resist the urge to do too much for
others. They will come to expect it, and you will burn
yourself out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Give your friends
and family some breathing room. Make a point of
getting out and meeting new people. Exploring new
interests will bring good results.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you do your job to
the best of your ability, you will be able to dispel any
negative rumors in the workplace. Its possible that
someone may be talking behind your back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) In your race to beat
the opposition, you may be letting your personal
responsibilities slide. Before you start on a new
challenge, take care of whats expected of you at home.
