SACRAMENTO Saying the states
budget surplus should be used to pay
down debt, Gov. Jerry Brown on
Wednesday called a special session of
the Legislature to make changes to a
rainy-day fund measure on the November
ballot.
He wants to replace the current ballot
measure, which seeks to divert more state revenue into the
rainy-day fund and would make it harder to tap the money
except in case of emergencies such as wildres or earth-
quakes.
Instead, Brown wants a new constitutional amendment

The prime murder suspect whose case was
dismissed after a judge threw out his confes-

at a San Mateo shopping center in 2010 is
himself dead.
Gregory Leon Elarms Sr., of Pittsburgh,
died Monday, April 14 at Stanford Medical
Center, according to
prosecutors. He was 61.
The cause of death was
natural causes, according
to the Santa Clara County
Medical Examiner-

Elarms death came as
local prosecutors awaited
a state appellate court
decision on Judge
Stephen Halls 2012 rul-
ing not to allow his
police confession to the
death of David Lewis who
was fatally shot June 9,
2010, in the parking
garage of Hillsdale
Shopping Center. Hall
found that San Mateo
police violated Elarms Miranda rights by
refusing his repeated requests for an attor-

local District Attorneys Ofce and a ruling
was pending.

A student works on a project in Peninsula High Schools construction class.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Peninsula High School student
collided with a Peninsula gourmet food
company when its founder Lynn Milos
began looking for someone to help
build gift boxes for her sauces.
Culinary Twist, a 4-year-old compa-
ny, recently teamed up with a student at
the alternative high school located on
the campus of the former Crestmoor
High School in San Bruno who was in
need of a project for his construction
class. The advanced section of one of
the construction classes at the school
mirrors a course at Skyline College
and students are able to get credits with
that class if they enroll in the Skyline
program. Students also take geometry
classes at the same time.
Most of the students had never
picked up a hammer, said Mark
Nichols, a construction technology
teacher at the school. Were trying to
do partnerships with companies in the
area so they can transition from high
school to jobs or advanced education.
This was the perfect kind of project
we would do.
The construction classes, as they
currently are, began four years ago
under the districts supervision, said
Principal Don Scatena. It goes beyond
the average woodshop class with les-
sons on how to do electrical work,
plumbing and basic construction.
They get good skills so they can be
competitive for apprenticeship jobs,
Scatena said. They have some skills
so they can work when they go to col-
lege. ... I hope to grow to the point
where theyre building in-law units and
maybe even scaled-down play struc-
tures that are copies of homes since
theres a market for it.
Milos contacted Nichols and asked if
he had a student to put together the
wooden crate gift boxes for her sauces
that sell for about $7 each at retailers
like Cost Plus, Trader Joes and Whole
Foods in the Bay Area. The company
grew out of a Tuesday Night Supper
School, local company partner

Nebraska toddler gets
stuck inside claw machine
LINCOLN, Neb. Authorities say a
toddler has been reunited with his
mother after employees found him
playing inside a claw crane machine at
a Nebraska bowling alley.
Lincoln police say a 24-year-old
woman called 911 Monday afternoon
because her 3-year-old son was miss-
ing from her apartment.
Employees at the bowling alley
across the street meanwhile called
police to say a small boy was playing
with stuffed animals inside the coin-
operated machine.
It was unclear how the boy ended up
inside the claw crane machine. Arepre-
sentative from the vending machine
company let him out and he was reunit-
ed with his mother a short time later.
He was not hurt.
Police say the mother was not cited
because she quickly reported that her
son was missing and there were no
indications of neglect.
Police: Man comes to
courthouse in stolen car
SONORA Police say a man was
arrested after using a stolen car to get
to a court appearance in California.
James Manning was taken into
custody after police say they
received a call from an auto dealer-
ship in Redding on Friday reporting
the vehicle was stolen.
The 2001 Mitsubishis GPS indicat-
ed it was parked in front of the
Tuolumne County courthouse.
Ofcers found the car, which already
had a different set of license plates on
i t .
Mannings wife, 45-year-old Teresa
Castillo, told ofcers her husband had
bought the car earlier in the day for
$200 so they could drive to his court
appearance.
The 49-year-old Manning and his
wife were arrested on suspicion of
vehicle theft and possession of a con-
trolled substance.
They remained jailed on Monday. It
could not immediately be determined if
the couple had lawyers.
Man with alleged
sock fixation arrested
RIVERSIDE Police have arrested
a Riverside County man they suspect
of having a sock xation.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise says
Alexis E. Garcia was arrested last
week.
Murrieta police believe that over the
past two months, Garcia has driven up
to girls 11 to 17 years old near
schools and talked to them about their
socks because investigators
believe he has a sexual xation.
The 31-year-old was arrested after a
detective allegedly saw him speaking
with a girl last Friday. He was booked
on suspicion of child annoyance, con-
tacting a child with intent to commit a
sexual offense and possession of child
pornography.
Garcia was released Saturday on
$5,000 bail. He couldnt be reached
for comment Monday and had no pub-
lic phone listing.
Chief: Suspects wore
GPS devices during killings
ANAHEIM Two parolees raped
and killed at least four women while
wearing GPS trackers, and there may
be more victims, a California police
chief alleged Monday.
Franc Cano and Steven Dean
Gordon, both registered sex offenders,
were both wearing ankle bracelets
when the women were assaulted and
killed last fall and earlier this year,
Anaheim police Chief Raul Quezada
said at a news conference.
Authorities at the news conference
did not explain how Cano and Gordon
allegedly managed to carry out the
killings while under supervision, but
Quezada said data from the GPS devices
was one of the investigative tools we
used to put the case together.
Anaheim police Lt. Bob Dunn earli-
er said the two were complying with a
requirement to check in monthly with
authorities and police had no reason to
watch them more closely and hadnt
received any such request from other
agencies.

San Carlos is going ahead with renova-
tions of Crestview Park rather than down-
size the plan to come under budget because
the council worries that waiting will delay
construction and potentially force a steeper
price tag.
Construction costs being what they are
these days, if you just wait, the costs just
go up. We had four or ve bids and even the
lowest was above our budget, Councilman
Ron Collins said.
Collins and the rest of the council voted
Monday night to use the remaining
$216,000 in the Burton Park renovation
fund plus general fund money to make up
the difference.
The citys capital improvement program
budget set aside $1.76 million for the park
makeover but the low bidder came in at
$1.99 million.
City staff gave the council the option of
maintaining the plan as proposed or reduc-
ing the scope and putting it back out to bid.
With the project getting the green light,
construction will likely start next month
with completion by the end of December.
Collins said aside from cost, the coun-
cil was also eager to get the project
underway. The city looked at four alter-
natives, discussed and dismissed the
idea of using synthetic turf and ultimate-
ly chose a fifth hybrid plan.
After all that, to not do it when we had
the money allocated and other funds left
over just didnt make any sense, Collins
said.
Crestview is a 1.1-acre park located on
Crestview Drive north of Brittan Avenue.
The renovations call for installing age-
appropriate playground equipment, reno-
vating resurfacing and marking the basket-
ball area, reducing the parking spaces by
two, adding a small bleacher or goal stor-
age to the hillside, maintaining a redwood
tree and nding more at areas for local
astronomers.

A doctor deemed insane at the time he
vandalized and torched his San Carlos
electronic cigarette business following a
mental breakdown was sentenced
Wednesday to time served and three years
supervised probation.
Dr. Noah Mark Minskoff, 35, of Palo
Alto, faced up to six months in jail after
pleading no contest to unlawfully causing
a fire. Yesterday, he received 94 days jail
which is equal to the time he earned while
awaiting trial in a residential treatment
program. He can also have the felony
reduced to a misdemeanor halfway through
successful completion of probation.
Mi nskoff co-owned Thermo Essence
Technologies in San
Carlos and holds a
patent for personal
vaporizer inhalers. A
court order barred him
from having weapons
but, in December 2012,
deputies removed
weapons from the scenes
of two separate inci-
dents at the San Carlos
business. On Dec. 15, 2012, deputies
reported finding $10,000 worth of vandal-
ism to the building and the property
burned. Deputies took Minskoff into cus-
tody for his bizarre behavior and confis-
cated a loaded gun.
Two days later, according to prosecu-
tors, deputies again responded to the busi-
ness and found it ransacked with the floor
burned and Minskoff, who was at the
scene, asked them if they were there seek-
ing employment. They took him once
more into psychiatric custody and
searched the business with the co-owner.
Inside, they reported finding four assault
weapons and high-capacity ammunition
magazines. They also reported finding a
pair of brass knuckles in his car.

A pediatric nurse who drove over an
embankment and into a car of people while
intoxicated had her felony drunk driving
conviction reduced to a misdemeanor over
the objections of the prosecution who
called it inappropriate because of the multi-
ple victims injured.
Gloria Kiyoko Pedruco, 56, faces up to
90 days jail after taking a plea deal with the
caveat the conviction be reduced to a mis-
demeanor halfway through successful pro-
bation. On Wednesday, her defense attor-
ney asked that the charge be reduced before
sentencing and Judge Jonathan Karesh
agreed. Karesh also placed her on three
years probation and sentenced her to 60
days jail with credit of 30 days, 28 of
which were spent in a
residential treatment
program.
Pedruco, of Pacifica,
drove onto the shoulder
of northbound Interstate
280 near Serramonte
Boulevard and down the
embankment at approxi-
mately 6 p.m. July 5.
Her vehicle hit a car
waiting at a stop light, leaving the five
people inside with bruises and cuts.
Prosecutors say Pedruco asked the vic-
tims who hit who and added that she needed
a drink after a tough day. Pedrucos blood
alcohol level three hours after the collision
was .18 and she had also ingested Prozac
and Xanax.

recognized his photo on a police-posted
Facebook entry will stand trial in June for
attempted child molestation.
Roberto Miculax, 41, is also charged
with communicating with a minor in an

conduct and four counts of child annoy-

imately 8 a.m. Feb. 18, a man approached
her while standing on North Claremont
Street and solicited a sex act. She left and
contacted police who searched but couldnt
find the subject.
After police posted the photo, two 12-
year-old girls identified Miculax as some-
one who approached them on different
occasions asking for sex.
Miculax remains in custody on $300,000

$150 million in legal fees and illegally col-
lected taxes that must be repaid, said prosecu-
tors and Bell ofcials.
That resulted in borrowing that will not be
paid back until 2040, Anthony Taylor, an
attorney representing the city of Bell, told
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge
Kathleen Kennedy.
Rizzo was arrested in 2010 after it was
revealed that he was paying himself an annu-
al salary and benets package of $1.5 million
to run a city where a quarter of the population
lives below the federal poverty line. His
$800,000 in wages alone was double that of
the president of the United States.
His top assistant had a salary and benet s
package of $564,000 and most Bell City
Council members were getting about
$100,000 a year. Several other top ofcials
were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Former assistant city manager Angela
Spaccia was sentenced last week to nearly 12
years in prison and ve former council mem-
bers face as much as four years when they are
sentenced later this year.
Kennedy, however, said the entire scam
could be traced to Rizzo.
Rizzo was controlling everything, the
judge said, noting he doled out millions of
dollars in illegal loans to pretty much any-
body who asked and raised salaries to levels
the judge called absolutely ridiculous.
Nobody wanted to upset the apple cart
because they were being paid so well, she
added.
When somebody did complain, Kennedy
said, Rizzo got rid of them, and when some
members of the public began to catch on, he
falsied public records to hide the fraud.
Rizzo, who was Bells city manager for 18
years, told the judge he ran a very good, tight
ship for the rst 12 years but then went
astray when he began to put himself, not city
residents, rst.
Im very, very sorry for that. I apologize
for that. If I could go back and make changes,
I would, he said.
By the time he was arrested, Rizzo had
amassed a fortune. He owned a horse ranch in
Washington state, several thoroughbred race-
horses and an expensive home in Huntington
Beach.
Kennedy said she appreciated the apology.
But it doesnt change the fact that, Mr.
Rizzo, you did some very, very bad things for
a very long time, she said.
On Monday, Rizzo was sentenced to 33
months in federal prison for income tax eva-
sion. Kennedy said he would be transferred to
a state prison after that time was served. She
allowed him to remain free until May 30 after
being assured his $2 million bail would be
forfeited if he doesnt surrender on that day.

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

One person killed, one injured in
boating accident in Redwood City
Aboating accident during an evening sail
off the Peninsula Marina left one person
dead and one with a head injury, Redwood
City re ofcials said Wednesday evening.
The incident involved a broken mast, re
ofcials said on Twitter.
The surviving boater was treated at the
Chesapeake Drive boat ramp, re ofcials said.
Sequoia Yacht Club Commodore
Winston Bumpus confirmed the incident
was connected with a race staged by the
club, which is located at 441 Seaport
Court in Redwood City.
The club calendar shows events scheduled
for Wednesday including a Beer Can Race
starting at 5 p.m.
Bumpus did not have details and said he
was waiting for further information on what
he called a tragic accident.
The Redwood City Fire Department was
called to the area of Chesapeake Drive and
Seaport Boulevard near the yacht club
around 6:40 p.m. to provide medical aid.
Fire ofcials have not yet returned a call
requesting further information.
Youth baseball coach
sentenced for molestation
MARTINEZ A judge has sentenced a
longtime San Francisco Bay Area youth
baseball coach convicted of molesting chil-
dren to nearly 11 years in prison.
Fifty-three-year-old Joel Kaufman was
sentenced Monday after he pleaded guilty to
four counts of felony child molestation.
Kaufman had coached at Oaklands Bishop
ODowd High School and Palo Alto High
School in addition to having led Little
League and youth traveling teams.
The abuse for which Kaufman was con-
victed occurred from 2005-2012, though
during the investigation numerous accus-
ers came forward detailing abuse over a 30-
year period.

SACRAMENTO Sacramento Mayor
Kevin Johnson was sworn in Wednesday as
the new leader of the U.S. Conference of
Mayors, a platform that raises the national
political prole of the NBAAll-Star.
Johnson rises to ll a vacancy left by
Scott Smith of Mesa, Ariz., who resigned to
run for governor of that state. In a
Sacramento luncheon honoring his appoint-
ment, Johnson praised city leaders as the
ones who nd solutions and blasted politics
in the nations capital.
We dont want to wait on Washington to
solve our problems, he said. We dont
have time to deal with bickering that goes
back and forth between Democrats and
Republicans.
Johnson, rst elected in 2008, said he
would promote a pro-growth agenda as the
nations biggest advocate for local govern-
ment. The Democrat echoed familiar ideas
for an approach linking higher education, a
skilled workforce and investments in high-
speed Internet and infrastructure to foster
economic development.
He pointed to Houstons resource centers
for immigrants and Indianapolis all-elec-
tric-and-hybrid vehicle eet as examples of
cities taking action where federal lawmakers
have stalled.
But cities are also pushing the federal gov-
ernment to shore up ood management and
replenish the Highway Trust Fund for road
projects, said Chris McKenzie, executive
director of the League of California Cities.
As a mayor of a city thats facing all of
those needs, and as a mayor that networks
effectively with city leaders all over the
country, (Johnson) can very effectively and
articulately make the case why we need a
strong federal-local partnership, McKenzie
said.
Johnson is credited with keeping the
Kings NBA franchise in Sacramento in
exchange for a new downtown arena subsi-
dized partly by the city. He used to play for
the Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns
from 1988 to 1999. Johnson has also pro-
moted the state capital as a food destination
in the center of the nations agricultural belt.
U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and
Executive Director Tom Cochran said
Johnson rose through the ranks of the group
for his leadership on education reform and is
well-suited for a future in which cities must
rely more on themselves and business part-
ners than federal funding.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND Biologists have
flocked to Alcatraz Island to get a glimpse
of a seabird that is believed to have never
previously visited the waters of the
Pacific.
The sleek white bird known as a north-
ern gannet is native to the Atlantic
Ocean.
National Park Service biologist Tori
Seher took birders to the island to try to
spot the bird on Tuesday, a day after she
says it was seen taking nesting material
from another bird species and searching for
a mate.
Scientists believe the bird ew across the
Arctic Sea in 2012 when ice coverage was
low. The birds have wingspans that can
reach 71 inches and dive into the sea at
speeds of 60 mph to catch sh.
The bird seekers searched all over the
famous island prison on Tuesday, but the
gannet that was seen just a day earlier was
nowhere to be found.
Its kind of to be expected with birds,
especially rare birds, said Daphne Hatch,
the National Park Services chief of natural
resources management and science. They
have a mind of their own.
There will likely be other chances to view
the bird, however. It has also been spotted
at the Farallon Islands and Stinson Beach.

WASHINGTON As political campaigns
begin to heat up, the Supreme Court is decid-
ing whether false accusations and mudsling-
ing made during an election can be punished
as a crime.
Addressing an issue of negative cam-
paigning that now may be a fact of life in
American politics, justices will consider a
challenge to an Ohio law that bars false
statements about political candidates. The
case being heard next week has attracted
national attention, with least 15 other
states having similar laws.
Groups across the political spectrum are
criticizing the law as a restriction on the
First Amendment right to free speech.
Even Ohios attorney general, Republican
Mike DeWine, says he has serious concerns
about the law. His ofce led two briefs in
the case, one from staff lawyers obligated to
defend the state and another expressing
DeWines personal view that the law may
chill constitutionally protected political
speech.
The thing we see time and time again in
political campaigns is that candidates use
the law to game the system by ling a com-
plaint, DeWine said in an interview with
the Associated Press.
In an attempt at humor, satirist P. J .
ORourke and the libertarian Cato Institute
led a widely circulated brief ridiculing the
law and defending political smear tactics as
a cornerstone of American democracy.
ORourkes brief celebrates a history of
dubious campaign remarks including
President Richard Nixons I am not a
crook, President George H.W. Bushs Read
my lips: no new taxes! and President
Barack Obamas If you like your health care
plan, you can keep it.
Court to weigh challenge
to ban on campaign lies
By Kimbery Heing
WASHINGTON Anxious students not
to mention their parents can get a heads-up
for how the redesigned SATmight look in two
years.
Sample questions for the new version of the
college-entrance test were released on
Wednesday by the College Board, which
announced last month that the new test will
include real-world applications and require
more analysis. Students will also be asked to
cite evidence to show their understanding of
texts.
Areading passage provided as an example
was adapted from a speech delivered in 1974
by Rep. Barbara Jordan, D-Texas, during the
impeachment hearings of President Richard
Nixon. Test takers must answer questions that
best describe Jordans stance and the main
rhetorical effect of a part of the passage.
Another sample question asks test takers to
calculate what it would cost an American trav-
eling in India to convert dollars to rupees.
Another question requires students to use the
ndings of a political survey to answer ques-
tions.
The College Board said all the information
about the redesigned test, which is due out in
2016, is in draft form and subject to change.
It is our goal that every student who takes
the test will be well informed and will know
exactly what to expect on the day of the test,
College Board President David Coleman and
Cynthia Schmeiser, the College Boards chief
of assessment, said in a letter posted online.
Every test will include a passage from the
U.S. founding documents, such as the
Declaration of Independence, or conversa-
tions theyve inspired, the College Board has
said.

Some Dems say embrace
Obamacare unabashedly
By Charles Babington and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON The outlook for the presidents health
care overhaul suddenly appears brighter, and some
Democrats are saying its time for the party to openly
embrace the law that Republicans consider their best cam-
paign weapon.
Activists in one Senate race are doing just that. Other
Democratic candidates, however, remain wary, unsure that a
modest dose of good news will be enough to offset countless
TV ads denouncing Obamacare.
Those worries are well founded, say Republicans who
shrug off the developments Democrats tout.
President Barack Obama recently announced that rst-year
sign-ups for subsidized private health insurance topped 7
million, exceeding expectations. And the Congressional
Budget Ofce the governments scal scorekeeper said
it expects only a minimal increase in customers costs for
2015. Over the next decade, CBO said the new law will cost
taxpayers $100 billion less than previously estimated.
Republicans already were pushing their luck by vowing to
repeal and replace the health care law without having a
viable replacement in mind, says Thomas Mills, a
Democratic consultant and blogger in North Carolina. Now,
he says, Democrats have even more reasons to rise from
their defensive crouch on this topic.
Democrats need to start making the case for Obamacare,
Mills says. They all voted for it, they all own it, so they
cant get away from it. So theyd better start defending it.
Even some professionals who have criticized the health
care law say the political climate has changed.
I think Democrats have the ability to steal the health
care issue back from Republicans, said health care industry
consultant said Bob Laszewski. The Democratic Party can
become the party of xing Obamacare.
In truth, some Democratic lawmakers often talk of x-
ing the 2010 health care law. But its usually in response to
critics, or in a manner meant to show their willingness to
challenge Obama.

BRUSSELS NATO is strengthen-

to Russias aggression in Ukraine, the

needed.
NATOs supreme commander in
Europe told reporters that ground forces
could also be involved at some point,
but gave no details.
NATO members Poland and the Baltic

annexation of the Ukrainian Crimean
Peninsula, demanding a more robust

The Fresno Bee
A
s horric as the Orland bus crash
was, it could have been even more
deadly had students not been
aboard a new bus with modern safety fea-
tures.
Some escaped through windows designed
as emergency exits before the motor coach
exploded in ames, though investigators
are examining how many windows jammed
and had to be kicked out. The bus also had
seat belts, though not all students were
wearing them and some apparently were
thrown from the bus.
While not foolproof, these safety fea-
tures likely saved lives. But they are volun-
tary on motor coaches despite the fact that
safety ofcials have been calling for them
for decades.
There are thousands of motor coaches on
the nations highways without those safe-
guards. Too many cost-conscious operators
have been resistant, and federal regulators
have been too slow to force them to act.
The National Transportation Safety
Board which is investigating the causes
of Thursdays Interstate 5 collision and
expects to issue preliminary ndings with-
in 30 days recommended in 1999 that
federal regulators issue new standards for
motor coaches so that passengers can easi-
ly open windows and exits. The board was
responding to a 1997 accident in which a
tour bus tumbled down an embankment in
Virginia and overturned in a river. Some
passengers struggled to escape through the
windows.
The National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration, which sets vehicle stan-
dards, studied the bus evacuation issue from
2007 to 2010. It has yet to issue any rules.
In a statement Monday, NHTSAsaid it is
working on the regulations and is com-
mitted to improving motor coach safety.
It cannot take the nearly half-century
that NHTSAwaited to require seat belts on
tour and intercity buses. The NTSB rst
urged seat belts in 1968 after investigating
another ery crash in California, this one
killing 19 people near the Mojave Desert
town of Baker.
The mandate for three-point lap-shoulder
belts starts in November 2016 for all new
motor coaches, but it still doesnt cover
existing buses because that would have
been too expensive.
In an average year, 20 people are killed
and nearly 8,000 injured in large bus crash-
es. The nations 29,000 motor coaches
carry about 700 million passengers a year,
about the same as the domestic airline
industry. But unlike plane crashes, most
bus crashes dont get national publicity.
The Orland crash has and if any good
is to come out of this tragedy, it will refo-
cus attention on motor coach safety and
nally spur action.
Unprofessional business
Editor,
The ongoing saga of the FlightCar com-
pany, as printed in the April 14 issue of the
Daily Journal (FlightCar to move, sues
city), is a sad example of how not to
start up a business. Clearly, the owner(s)
and operator(s) of FlightCar were ill-pre-
pared to start and operate a new business.
Incidents of three vehicles belonging to
their clients being stolen and FlightCar
failing to comply with basic business prac-
tices, including obeying the conditions of
its business permit (not to mention, obey-
ing local and state laws) are all examples
that the owners were not prepared for doing
business in Millbrae. It is not the job of
the city of Millbrae, the San Francisco
International Airport, or, anyone else, to
teach the owners of FlightCar how to run
their business and follow the laws in the
state of California.
So now, FlightCar gets caught doing
what they are not supposed to do, or, in
this case, gets caught not obeying the con-
ditions of their business permit, so, natu-
rally, they want to sue the city of Millbrae.
The owners of FlightCar are acting like
immature babies. They are mad they got
caught, not upset that they were doing
something wrong. Instead of learning a
valuable lesson and operating their busi-
ness better, they decide to blame someone
else for their mistakes and blunders.
The only ones who damaged FlightCars
name and reputation are the owners/opera-
tors of FlightCar themselves, and no one
else. Their lawsuit will have no merit. They
need to grow up and become responsible
business owners.

Masters Golf Tournament
Editor,
I am truly alone in the wilderness in this
view of the Masters Golf Tournament.
William Woodward Hootie Johnson of
the Augusta National Golf Club once kicked
some guy off his course for the horric use
of a range ball. Afterwards Hootie, alone in
all major tournaments, compels that all
caddies henceforth adorn what one can only
portray as hazmat suits for the Masters.
There is little that I have witnessed in
any major/minor golf event that detracts so
appallingly as viewing caddies wearing
such attire. In my humble opinion, the
Masters should be relabeled the Masters
Hazmat Golf Tourney. Such a gorgeous and
stunning golf course, where the media
speaks in hushed tones usually reserved by
cloistered monks, about the Eisenhower
Tree and Amen Corner is unquestionably
marred by this tasteless apparel telecast
worldwide.
Such a spectacle is a travesty and an out-
rage to the dignity of this storied and his-
toric event; not to mention appalling for
the decorum and tradition of this gentle-
mens game. Most shocking of all, is that
nothing is ever mentioned of this in the
media. Does the media truly dread Hooties
response concerning this ghastly image
cast on this sport of gentlemen and ladies
and fear ostracism from the powers that be?
Forget the range ball Hootie and return dig-
nity to the game of golf.

USAID
Editor,
Disturbing covert operations of USAID
have recently come to light. According to
the Associated Press reports, the communi-
cations network, ZunZuneo slang for a
Cuban hummingbirds tweet, created a fake
Cuban Twitter with secret shell compa-
nies nanced through foreign banks.
The younger population was inundated
with tweets encouraging them to rebel and
undermine the government. The United
States planned to use the platform to spread
political upheaval that might trigger a
Cuban Spring, or, as one USAID document
stated, renegotiate the balance of power
between the state and society.
According to Peter Kornbluh, who directs
the Cuba Documentation Project at the
National Security Archive, the USAID pro-
gram was a classic covert operation well
outside its stated mandate of promoting
democracy. It has reportedly squandered
$20 million on this botched program that
has created a great deal of mistrust and hos-
tility. The money could have been used for
educational purposes or humanitarian pro-
grams to foster better relations between our
two countries.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy deserves credit
for lambasting the covert program. The AP
released memos from Mobile Accord which
exposed the covert nature of the whole
operation and its deliberate attempt to
deceive the American public. The sad irony
is that Cuba is dismantling its burdensome
communist ideology and is embracing a
more capitalist model. We can help this
welcome trend by normalizing relations
with Cuba and removing from it from the
clutches of Venezuela which is engaged in
an oil for doctors pact.

Hunting for Easter
A
tisket, a tasket, its time for Easter
baskets. Easter is no longer for the
religious minded. In fact, it really
hasnt been for a long time. Arbor Day
might still be all about the trees but those
other holidays have been mass marketed to
death were all Irish on St. Patricks Day!
Bring on Santa Claus
and Christmas pres-
ents! Presidents Day?
Isnt that just another
excuse to shop shoe
sales? The surprise of
holidays isnt who
actually celebrates
them. The surprise is
who acknowledges
them for anything
other than another
chance to eat, drink, be merry and contribute
to the bottom line of the greeting card
industry.
Easter is no different.
This is why we have bunnies. My meager
religious education might have handed me a
different Bible than everybody else but I
dont really recall rabbits playing a key role
in the Easter story. These bunnies for no
discernible reason bring the children bas-
kets which are hidden in odd places, like the
clothes dryer never to be found by a dis-
traught tot until a helpful parent suggests
pulling a fresh towel from the laundry room.
These baskets are lled with plastic grass.
Grass that will inevitably be stuck on cloth-
ing and in vacuums and upon which there are
chalky chocolatey treats often shaped like
bunnies themselves. Doesnt that seem
slightly odd and cruel rabbits encourag-
ing others to eat different rabbits? Maybe
its a hidden metaphor for sacrice.
See? This is the problem with Easter. The
celebration leads one to wax philosophical-
ly about lifes unanswered puzzles like why
exactly rabbits pass out eggs and, if TVis to
be believe, manage to hatch out chocolate
eggs lled with sugary yolks. Or, if the food
dye industry is behind the annual hard-
boiled egg coloring ritual. And Peeps
sweet Jesus, how did a marshmallow-y treat
that scientists claim cant be dissolved in
acetone or sulfuric acid ever become so darn
popular?
The biggest unknown is what the heck
any of these traditions has to do with the
resurrection of Jesus. It is Jesus, isnt it? A
heathen childhood which was more about
basket goodies than religious instruction
much to my Catholic grandmothers chagrin
means I cant be certain. This likely also
means the only basket in my future is the
hand-held one on a straight trip to the
underworld.
But lest one think Easter never had any
religious undertones in my life, let me cor-
rect you. Easter was the opportunity to
watch The Ten Commandments. Thats
right. Just as Thanksgiving evening was the
time for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Easter
was on the calendar to watch the Red Sea
part and try guring out how to play
Hounds and Jackals like the pharaohs. I
might not have been dragged to mass but
every year like clockwork was the time to
check out Charlton Hestons hair, ponder
why all that pyramid construction wasnt a
dirtier looking gig and wish that I could turn
the water red. Now thats a party trick.
The Ten Commandments also was a
marker for adulthood. As a child, I could
never stay awake through the entire lengthy
feature and always without fail nodded off
somewhere around the time Moses came
down from speaking to the bush with his
newly grayed hair. The rst time I kept my
eyes open until his return to Egypt I knew
Id nally grown up. Well, there was that
indicator and the fact that I no longer went
hunting in major household appliances for
Easter baskets lled with drugstore candy,
stuffed animals made for a child way below
my age and inevitably those Peeps.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Investors drove stock prices to their
highest level in a week Wednesday,
encouraged by a crop of corporate earn-
ings and reassuring U.S. and Chinese
economic data.
Major U.S. stock indexes notched
their third day of gains in a row. Yahoo
and Delta Air Lines were among the
companies posting big gains. The
gains were broad; for every stock that
declined, nearly four rose.
The market is coming back from a
steep drop at the end of last week led by
Internet and biotechnology stocks.
That move away from some of the
riskier, high-priced stocks that drove
down the market is nearly, if not com-
pletely done now, said Jim Russell,
senior equity strategist at U.S. Bank
Wealth Management.
We did think that last weeks down-
side volatility would be limited, and
were very heartened to see a rebound
for the rst three days this week, he
said.
Stocks started climbing from the
opening bell on Wednesday as
investors cheered the latest quarterly
earnings report from Yahoo. The Web
pioneer reported late Tuesday that it is
making most of its money from its
stakes in two Asian Internet compa-
nies: Chinas Alibaba Group and Yahoo
Japan.
The market also welcomed a Chinese
government report showing that the
worlds second-largest economy grew
7.4 percent from a year earlier in the
January-March quarter. A favorable
report on U.S. factory production
helped keep investors in a buying
mood.
Unlike Monday and Tuesday, the
rally didnt falter during the day.
Instead, the buying gained momentum
in the afternoon after the Federal
Reserve said its latest survey showed
economic growth picking up across
most of the U.S. over the past two
months as bitter winter weather sub-
sided.
Yesterday was just a crazy day. We
were all over the map, and nally today
we are showing some strength, said
Erik Davidson, deputy chief invest-
ment ofcer of Wells Fargo Private
Bank.
All told, the Standard & Poors 500
index rose 19.33 points, or 1.1 per-
cent, to 1,862.31. All ten industry sec-
tors in the S&P 500 increased, led by
industrial stocks, including several air-
lines and transportation companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 162.29 points, or 1 percent, to
16,424.85. The Nasdaq composite rose
52.06 points, or 1.3 percent, to
4,086.22.
The three major stock indexes are
each up for the week, but remain down
for the month after several days of
choppy trading. The three-day rise in
stock prices helped push the S&P 500
index up 0.8 percent so far this year.
Investors are closely monitoring
company earnings this week as they
try to assess whether the impact of a
severe winter has begun to ease.
Financial analysts expect rst-quarter
earnings for companies the S&P500 to
fall about 1.2 percent, according to
S&P Capital IQ.
Its not like things are all hunky-
dory with the economy, with prot s,
with revenue, and yet we keep clearing
relatively low bars, Davidson said.
Google and IBM fell sharply in after-
hours trading after their quarterly
results disappointed investors.
Googles newly issued Class C stock
fell $32.54, or 6 percent, to $524 after
the company reported that its growth
faltered as online advertising prices
continued to fall. IBMs stock fell
$7.45, or 4 percent, to $189 after
reporting that its revenue fell from a
year ago and came in below what ana-
lysts were expecting.
Technology stocks have come under
selling pressure in recent weeks as
investors question whether the sector
has become too expensive. Even after a
recent sell-off that brought the tech-
heavy Nasdaq composite 6 percent
below its recent peak reached Mar. 5,
the index is still up 25 percent over the
past year, versus 18 percent for the
S&P 500.
Stocks close higher for third day in a row

WASHINGTON Some low-paid
workers wont benet even if a long-
shot Democratic proposal to raise the
federal minimum wage becomes law.
More than a dozen categories of jobs
are exempt from the minimum, current-
ly $7.25 an hour. Those exclusions,
rooted in labor law history, run from
some workers with disabilities to
crews on shing ships to casual baby
sitters.
Legislation sponsored by Sen. Tom
Harkin, D-Iowa, would gradually raise
the minimum to $10.10 by 2016. The
Congressional Budget Ofce estimates
it would mean higher earnings for 16.5
million workers but also would cost
500,000 others their jobs.
Harkins measure wouldnt eliminate
exemptions, including for live-in
companions for the elderly, staffs of
state and local elected ofcials and
jobs at summer camps and seasonal
amusement parks.
The federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics says nearly 1.8 million
hourly workers were paid below $7.25
last year about 2 percent of the 76
million Americans earning hourly
wages. An additional 1.5 million
earned exactly $7.25.
Some earning under that amount are
covered by lower requirements. In one
major category, wages for tipped
employees such as waiters can be as
low as $2.13 hourly, as long as their
pay reaches the overall federal mini-
mum when tips are included.
Harkins measure would gradually
raise the minimum for tipped workers
to 70 percent of the minimum for most
workers.

SAN DIEGO California home
prices surged to a six-year high in
March amid lackluster sales at the start
of the traditional buying season, a
research rm said Wednesday.
The median sales price for new and
existing houses and condominiums
reached $376,000, up 5.9 percent from
$355,000 the previous month and up
20.1 percent from $313,000 in March
2013, DataQuick said. It was the 25th
straight month of annual increases,
including the 16th straight month the
year-over-year increase exceeded 20
percent. It was also the highest level
since $383,000 in January 2008.
There were 32,923 homes sold, up
28.2 percent from February but down
12.8 percent from March 2013. Sales
typically increase from February to
March.
DataQuick said thin inventories con-
tributed to the lowest March sales tally
in six years. Sales in a six-county
region of Southern California tumbled
14.3 percent from a year earlier, while
sales in the nine-county San Francisco
Bay Area slid 12.9 percent.
Selma Hepp, senior economist at the
California Association of Realtors,
pinned weaker sales on declining
interest from investors and lack of
affordability after huge price increases
during the rst half of last year side-
lined potential buyers.
Theres sort of a waiting game, she
said. Prices were going up so fast,
there was such a feeding frenzy until
June or July. Then everything sort of
stopped.
Hepp acknowledged that thin inven-
tories are still an issue in the hottest
markets, including the San Francisco
Bay Area and many coastal regions.
Those markets are still seeing bidding
wars, with homes selling at least 20
percent over the listing price.
DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage
said thin inventories are the top rea-
son behind slowing sales, with lack of
affordability, higher lending rates and
waning investor interest contributing.
Absentee buyers mostly
investors and some second-home pur-
chasers accounted for 26.3 percent
of homes bought in March, down from
28.4 percent the previous month and
31.3 percent in March 2013, accord-
ing to DataQuick.
State home prices surge in March; sales fall
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Googles rst-
quarter earnings growth faltered as the
Internets most influential company
grappled with a persistent downturn in
advertising prices while spending
more money to hire employees and
invest in daring ideas.
The results announced Wednesday
fel l bel ow anal yst proj ect i ons.
Googl es Cl ass A st ock shed
$17. 10, or 3 percent, to $546. 80
in extended trading.
Although it remains among the
worlds most profitable companies,
Google Inc. is struggling to adjust to a
shift away from desktop and laptop
computers to smartphones and
tablets. The upheaval is lowering
Googles ad rates because so far mar-
keters havent been willing to pay as
much to pitch consumers who are
squinting at the smaller screens on
mobile devices.
Google earned $3.45 billion, or
$5.04 per share, in the quarter. That
was up 3 percent from $3.3 billion, or
$4.97 per share, last year.
If not for costs covering employee
stock compensation and other one-
time items, Google said it would have
earned $6.27 per share. That gure
missed the average analyst target of
$6.36 per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue rose 19 percent from last
year to $15.4 billion.
After subtracting advertising com-
missions, Googles revenue stood at
$12.2 billion about $200 million
below analyst projections.
Googles 1Q earnings disappoint as ad prices slip
Chinas growth slows to 7.4 percent in 1Q
BEIJING Chinas economic growth slowed further
in the latest quarter but appeared strong enough to satis-
fy Chinese leaders who are trying to put the country on
a more sustainable path without politically dangerous
job losses.
The worlds second-largest economy grew 7.4 percent
from a year earlier in the January-March quarter, down
from the previous quarters 7.7 percent, government
data showed Wednesday. It matched a mini-slump in late
2012 for the weakest growth since the 2008-09 global
crisis.

BEAT L.A.: GIANTS NEED JUST NINE INNINGS TO BEAT DODGERS >> PAGE 12

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The scope of the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division softball standings
would be much more orderly had San Mateo
just gone away Wednesday at Terra Nova.
But the San Mateo offense would have
none of that. Trailing 5-1 after two innings,
the Bearcats clawed to within one before ral-
lying for three runs in the top of the seventh
to stun the Lady Tigers 7-5.
San Mateo was one of ve Ocean Division
teams entering play Wednesday with records
at or above the .500 mark. With the win,
San Mateo (2-1 in Ocean Division, 4-6
overall) moves into a second-place tie with
Terra Nova (2-1, 3-8). Both trail rst-place
South City, as the Warriors improved to 4-1
in Ocean Division play Tuesday with a 17-2
mercy-rule win over Jefferson.
The Bearcats comeback was one wild ride.
Terra Nova scored three in the rst and two
more in the second, but could have done
much more damage had it not been for run-
ning into outs at home plate in both
innings.
Senior pitcher Gina Titus settled in after
that for the Bearcats, holding Terra Nova to
no runs on two hits from the third inning
on.
I just had to stay in there and not let the
score get to us, Titus said. We had to think
about coming back and not that we were los-
ing and keep trying hard.
The Bearcats rallied for three runs in the
seventh without tabbing a hit in the inning.
Sophomore leadoff hitter Taylor Doi
sparked the comeback by drawing a walk to
start the frame. Doi moved to second on a
wild pitch then scooted over to third when
Paige Stoveland reached on an ineld error.
Stoveland promptly stole second. Andrea
Holcombe followed by hitting a sharp
grounder on the ineld with the throw going
home. As Terra Nova catcher Taylor Gomes

Expectations were high for the Menlo-
Atherton baseball team coming into the
2014 campaign.
And while the Bears still nd themselves
in a first-place tie atop the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division standings,
things are not all perfect in Atherton. They
lost three of four to start the month of April,
culminating with a 1-0 loss to Sacred Heart
Prep last Friday.
The Bears appeared to have rebounded
with a 6-3 win over Los Altos last Saturday
and an 8-0 victory over Half Moon Bay
Monday, but M-Abackslid in a 10-6 loss to
Riordan Wednesday.
No pitching, no defense, no hitting,
said M-A manager Mike Amoroso. No
school (M-A is on spring break), no fans,
started half-hour early and, at the same time,
they might be a little tired.
M-A(12-6 overall) played four games last
week and Wednesdays game was the second
of three this week. But there was no energy
against Riordan, and maybe Crusaders
pitcher Christian Hammerich had some-
thing to do with it, as he handcuffed the
Bears for most of the game. Hammerich
cruised through the first 5 1/3 innings
before running out of gas and thats when
the M-Aoffense nally came alive.
Until then, it was all Riordan (9-11). M-A
starter A.J. Lemons pitched well enough to
have a different outcome, but shaky defense
led to a three-run second inning for the
Crusaders.
We do trust A.J., Amoroso said.
Unfortunately, our defense didnt help any-
thing.
Riordan added a fourth run in the fth
before scoring three more in the sixth
against four different M-A pitchers. All of
the runs in the sixth were scored on just one
hit and ve walks, adding to Amorosos frus-
trations.
In the bottom of the frame, the M-A
offense suddenly erupted out of nowhere.
After managing just two hits through the
rst ve innings and not getting a runner

Menlo-Athertons Matt McGarry strokes a bases-loaded double during the Bearssix-run sixth

C
hristie McCoy-Hjelm is the third
coach in three years for the Aragon
softball team. There is a good
chance she will be the last coach the Dons
will need for a long time.
At least thats her plan.
Theyre not getting rid of me, McCoy-
Hjelm (pronounced yelm) said following
the Dons 5-1 win over Burlingame Tuesday,
their rst Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division win of the
season.
It may take some
time for the Dons to
return to prominence
their last winning
league record came dur-
ing the 2010 season
when they went 10-4
and nished second in
the Bay Division
but if anyone can
bring them back to the
top, its McCoy-Hjelm. She has experienced
nothing but success in her softball career.
A1993 graduate of Aragon, McCoy-Hjelm
was one of the best softball players to come
out of the Peninsula. She was a four-time,
rst-team all-league selection and, in her
senior year, she posted an earned run average
of 0.00 on her way to being named San
Mateo County Player and Pitcher of the Year
and helping lead the Dons to the 1993 league
title which is also their last league cham-
pionship. Over her four-year Dons career,
she allowed only 10 earned runs.
In 1996, Aragon retired her number 12
and, in 2011, she was enshrined in the
Aragon Athletics Hall of Fame.
She was a real competitor, said longtime
Carlmont softball coach Jim Liggett. She
threw extremely hard. She could be pretty
domineering. She was a really good player.
After her time at Aragon, she headed up the
hill to play for the late Tom Martinez at the
College of San Mateo. Again she excelled,
twice being named to the all-conference and

Nationals prospect Tony Renda was placed
on the seven-day disabled list last weekend
with a strained quad.
Renda sustained the injury April 11 legging
out an ineld single in Nationals High-Aafl-
iate Potomacs 4-2 win over Carolina.
According to Renda, the injury is not serious.
He was rehabbing Wednesday but has yet to
resume baseball activities.
And the 23-year-old inelder is already
champing at the bit to get
back onto the eld.
Im the type of guy that
if theres a game playing, I
want to be in it, Renda
said.
Having played in 135
games at Low-A
Hagerstown last season
the team played 137 total
games Renda isnt
accustomed to taking too many days off. But
thats when he is at his best. A5-foot-8 second
baseman in the mold of Boston Red Sox sec-
ond baseman Dustin Pedroia, Renda was a dou-
bles machine in 2013, tabbing 43 two-bag-
gers to lead the South Atlantic League.
For his efforts on-and-off the eld, Renda
was honored by the Nationals organization as
the rst ever recipient of the Bob Boone
Award. The criteria for the award according
to an article published Sept. 13, 2013, in the
Washington Times: outstanding profession-
alism, leadership, loyalty, passion, seless-
ness, durability, determination and work
ethic reads like Rendas resume.
It was a very successful season, Renda
said. To cap it all off with winning the Bob
Boone Award for the organization its a
great feeling to get recognized for a good
year.
Renda has left his mark at every stop along
the way in pursuing his dream of excelling as a
professional baseball player.
His name is etched throughout the Serra
record book as the Padres all-time hits leader
(139), all-time runs leader (120) and leader in

SAN FRANCISCO Pablo Sandoval sin-
gled in the go-ahead run in the seventh
inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to
a 2-1 victory over the rival Los Angeles
Dodgers on Wednesday night and into rst
place in the NL West.
The struggling Sandoval came through
after reliever J.P. Howell (1-1) intentionally
walked Hunter Pence with two outs.
Sandoval, who entered the game batting just
.164, grounded into center eld to score
Joaquin Arias from second.
Jean Machi (3-0) pitched out of a bases-
loaded jam earlier in the seventh for the win.
Buster Posey broke an 0-for-13 skid with
an RBI single in the third to give the Giants
a 1-0 lead. Dee Gordons tying triple in the
sixth accounted for the Dodgers lone run.
Los Angeles at least dodged worse news.
Shortstop Hanley Ramirez left in the
seventh after getting hit by a pitch from
Ryan Vogelsong on the top of his left
hand. The team said X-rays on Ramirezs
hand were negative.
Sergio Romo pitched a perfect ninth for
his fourth save, striking out Adrian
Gonzalez and Matt Kemp to end the game.
Vogelsong allowed the one run and four
hits in six-plus innings to help the Giants
win their third straight game. He struck out
two and walked two to match Paul Maholm
most of the way.
Maholm gave up one run and five hits in
six innings. He struck out two and walked
three to rebound from a loss in his only
other start this season on April 5, when he
allowed five runs in 4 1-3 innings to the
Giants.
San Francisco improved to 4-1 against
the Dodgers this season in a race that could
remain tight through the summer. Both
teams began the day with a 9-5 record.
The starting pitchers kept the game mov-
ing at a far brisker pace than the nearly 5-
hour contest Tuesday night that ended when
Hector Sanchez singled home the winning
run with two outs in the 12th inning to give
the Giants the win.
The biggest blemish came when
Vogelsong hit the top of Ramirezs left hand
to open the seventh. Ramirez slammed his
helmet to the ground and hopped around in
pain before being replaced by Justin Turner.
After the Dodgers loaded the bases with
one out, Machi elded a hard comebacker
from Juan Uribe to start a home-to-rst dou-
ble play.
The biggest hold up came from baseballs
new replay system after Vogelsong pick of
Kemp at rst base in the second inning.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly challenge
the play, which umpires upheld after a 4:25
video review that drew light boos from
some fans during the wait.
Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford sat
out with tightness in his right hamstring
but said he expects to play Thursday.
The Giants activated lefty reliever Jeremy
Affeldt (sprained right knee) from the 15-
day disabled list and optioned outfielder
Juan Perez to Triple-AFresno.
Affeldt and Uribe are joined in baseball
history having played a big role in Game 6
of the 2010 National League Championship
Series against the Phillies. Affeldt pitched
two shutout innings in relief while Uribe hit
the home run in the eighth to propel San
Francisco to the World Series.
Uribe opted to sign with the Dodgers via
free agency after the 2010 World
Championship.
We have a lot of respect for [Uribe],
Affeldt said. But he chose to exit ... and we
won (again) in 2012. So, Im not sure who
made the better decision.

career total bases (234). To put his Serra career into perspec-
tive, Barry Bonds hit for a .404 career batting average from
1980-82, ranking 11th all-time. Renda ranks sixth all-time
having hit for a .434 career average from 2007-09.
In three years at Cal, he led the Cinderella Golden Bears of
2011 to the College World Series. And since being drafted in the
second round by the Nationals in 2012, he has totaled 243 hits
in 214 games.
The quad strain suffered by Renda last Friday was a result of a
hustle play in which he tabbed an RBI to drive home the go-
ahead run in Potomacs 4-2 win, earning his third hit to cap a 3-
for-4 game in the process. It was his fourth multi-hit perform-
ance in eight games. He is currently hitting a cool .375 (12 for
32), and despite not having any home runs owns a healthy .438
slugging percentage.
Every ball that I hit I try to drive and put into a gap some-
where, Renda said. Im not necessarily trying to put it over
the fence. Im just trying to get that ball into the gap and run.
Thats a day in the life for Renda. Thats why his being out of
action for ve straight days and counting is such a miscast.
As for the last time he went as many days without playing
baseball?
There really hasnt been, Renda said. Its tough to sit and
watch. But Ive got other work to do. I need to get this quad right
so I can play the rest of the year.
Delno off to hot start
Meanwhile on the opposite coast, Mitch Delno Rendas
former third-base platoon partner at Cal is off to a hot start
for Giants High-Aafliate San Jose.
A20th round draft pick by the Giants in 2012, Delno is cur-
rently hitting .280 with three home runs through 12 games for
the San Jose. He entered play Wednesday tied for third in the
California League in homers.
Delno is one of several players at San Jose who played col-
legiately in the Bay Area. Brian Ragira, less than a year
removed from being drafted in the fourth round out of Stanford,
has served as the regular rst baseman for the minor-league
Giants. Starting pitcher Joe Biagini played at College of San
Mateo in 2009. Biaginis fellow right-hander Martin Agosta
was a second-round draft pick out of St. Marys College in
2012.
Former Menlo star Ryan Cavan, who played for ve seasons
in the Giants organization including two year at San Jose, was
released in March, as was reported by Baseball America.

RENDA
attempted to stonewall the plate, Doi slid
right through her to score the tying run.
Andrea Holcombe not only tabbed an RBI but
reached via elders choice with Stoveland
advancing to third. On the ensuing at-bat
with Abbie Holcombe at the plate, Stoveland
read a ball in the dirt and darted home to score
the go-ahead run.
If the game wasnt so close, I probably
wouldnt have gone because I dont think Im
a very fast runner, Stoveland said. I hesitat-
ed at rst, but I saw the ball got past (the
catcher). It was kind of do-or-die, so I went.
Then I didnt know if I was safe or not but I
was.
With Andrea Holcombe advancing to third
base on the play, she later scored on a wild
pitch to give San Mateo a 7-5 lead.
Titus marched out to the circle in the bot-
tom of the inning with her rst lead since the
rst inning. And the senior right-hander did
the rest, retiring the side in order to end it,
improving her record to 2-2 on the year.
Its denitely nice to have a lead in the
pocket, Titus said.
San Mateo jumped out to a quick lead in the
rst. Doi singled to open the game then came
around to score on a passed ball, giving San
Mateo a 1-0 lead.
But Terra Nova answered with three in the
bottom of the inning. Freshman Maia
Borovina shot a line drive to right-center and
jetted around for a triple. Gabby Spencer-
Crook tabbed an RBI with an ineld grounder
to tie it, with Spencer-Crook reaching on an
error. Spencer-Crook stole second, but was
thrown out at the plate trying to score on a
single by Janelle DeJong. Kela Kapuni
walked and she and DeJong both moved into
scoring position on a wild pitch. Lesley Bode
grounded out to drive home DeJong and
Gomes singled to drive home Kapuni, giving
the Tigers a 3-1 lead.
In the second, Terra Nova extended its lead
with Spencer-Crook and DeJong scoring on a
pair of errors by the San Mateo ineld before
Kapuni was thrown out at the plate to end the
inning.
San Mateo added a run in the third and two
more in the fourth. The big hit in the fourth
was an RBI triple off the bat of Sophia Jaro,
who later scored on an ineld single by
Nicole Chiu to close the Terra Nova lead to 5-
4.
Terra Nova was a very good team, San
Mateo head coach Randy Boardman said.
They made some mistakes in the eld. We
certainly made our share of mistakes.
Each team committed four errors and ran
into numerous outs on the base paths.
For the Tigers, the loss was the rst regula-
tion seven-inning game theyve played in
league this season. Terra Novas rst to
games were each 15-0 mercy-rule wins over
Menlo-Atherton and Jefferson, respectively.
Our team is a tremendous hitting team,
Terra Nova head coach Donna Tolero. Weve
played a very tough preseason. Weve played
a lot of Catholic schools and weve put up 10
or 15 hits in every game. Not always come up
on the positive side but we put the ball in
play.
Wednesdays game was the rst time the
Terra Nova squad had been together on the
eld in a week, with several players taking a
school-related trip to Europe.
Unfortunately weve had one of those
weeks where kids were missing during the last
few practices, Tolero said. And I told them it
would probably affect us and it did.
Gomes showed up at the plate for Terra
Nova though, pacing all hitters with a 3-for-
4 day. Terra Novas comeback from four runs
down was its best come-from-behind win of
the year. Monday, the Tigers overcame a 5-0
decit against Sacred Heart Cathedral, but
ultimately fell to the Irish 9-5.

Real Madrid wins 19th Copa del Rey title
VALENCIA, Spain Gareth Bale raced down the eld,
avoided a defender and rolled the ball under goalkeeper Jose
Pinto in the 90th minute, giving Real Madrid a 2-1 win over
Barcelona on Wednesday night and its 19th Copa del Rey
title.
Angel Di Maria put Real Madrid ahead from a counterat-
tack in the 11th minute, but defender Mark Bartra scored on
a header off a corner kick in the 67th, the rst time Real
goalkeeper Iker Casillas allowed a goal in this seasons
tournament.
Neymar hit a post in the 90th for Barcelona, which was
eliminated from the Champions League last week and lost at
Granada last weekend, making a league title unlikely.
Obviously this is not a good moment. It has been a hard
week on all fronts, Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said.

all-state rst teams. Her sophomore season,
she was named Coast Conference Player and
Pitcher of the Year, as well as the State
Pitcher of the Year.
She headed east to University of Nebraska
to nish up her college career, twice being
named her teams Offensive Player of the
Year and two times rst team All-Big 12.
She went on to play professionally in the
Womens Professional Softball League with
the Tampa Bay Fire Stix and North Carolina
Diamonds. She got into the coaching
ranks, serving time as a volunteer assistant
at Nebraska, before moving on to
University of Texas-San Antonio and later
Syracuse, as a pitching and offensive spe-
cialist and recruiting coordinator.
When she decided to start a family, she
hung up her cleats. She started a successful
wedding planning business in Las Vegas
before returning to the Peninsula about
three years ago.
Since then, she has been involved with
the game as a private coach before deciding
to apply for the Aragon opening for
which Aragon athletic director Steve Sell is
forever grateful.
As an athletic director, sometimes you
just get lucky (with a coaching hire). You
search and search and search for a coach
youre comfortable with. Sometimes a ve-
minute search lands you a blue-chip coach,
Sell said. As an A.D., you are always look-
ing (for potential coaches). I always
have my feelers out. Im always kind of
looking.
Sell was familiar with McCoy-Hjelms
game because he was a rst-year teacher at
Aragon and McCoy-Hjelm was a senior. He
watched a few games and knew right away
she was a special player. He had been in
contact with her leading up to her 2011 Hall
of Fame induction and, when the coaching
job opened up after last season, he asked if
she would be interesting in coaching.
I asked her if she had
any interest at all in
coaching (at Aragon),
Sell said. I was open to
anything from being the
varsity coach to a two-
days-a-week assistant.
When McCoy-Hjelm
agreed to take the posi-
tion, Sell couldnt wait to
tell the players.
There have been a
number of times as an athletic director, you
introduce a new coach to the team. Those
typically are not very memorable meetings.
But this one, I couldnt wait. I couldnt wait
to introduce Christie to the girls, Sell said.
Any time you can bring in a great role
model for girls, its powerful.
McCoy-Hjelm was also grateful Sell and
Aragon decided on her to guide the softball
program.
Im so honored Steve Sell chose me,
McCoy-Hjelm said.
Now, McCoy-Hjelm is essentially start-
ing from the beginning, building funda-
mentals and teaching her team to play the
game the right way. And the rebuilding
process might not take as long as you
might think. There are only ve seniors on
this years team, only three of which are
starters. Pitcher Jessica Doss is only a jun-
ior and is one of the teams best hitters and
the Dons also got a great inux of new tal-
ent in freshmen center elder Jen Horita and
shortstop Soraya Valdez-Frick.
I have very high expectations (for the
freshmen) and they have them for them-
selves, McCoy-Hjelm said.
With a foundation set, McCoy-Hjelm can
now focus on molding the Dons into win-
ners hopefully for a long time.
When I left the game, I hung up my
cleats, McCoy-Hjelm said. When I came
back home, they (the cleats) came back
down.

past second base, the Bears put together a
six-run, ve-hit inning frame, closing the
gap on the scoreboard to just one run, 7-6.
Lawson Joos got the inning started with a
bunt single and Erik Amundson walked.
Following a strikeout, Lemons singled to
left to load the bases. Matt McGarry fol-
lowed and, on the rst pitch, drove the ball
into the right-center eld gap for a two-run
double and ended Hammerichs day.
M-As Max Gardiner greeted Riordan
reliever Jackson Chase with a two-run dou-
ble of his own and, just like that, M-A was
down only 7-4.
And the hits kept coming for the Bears.
Jordan Long singled to drive in the fth run
of the inning and when the Riordan center
elder missed his cutoff man, Long took
second. Brian Coggins walked to bring up
Charlie Cain, who hit a grounder to short-
stop with what looked to be a sure inning-
ending double play. The Crusaders got the
out at second but Cain beat the throw to rst
and Long raced around third and beat the
throw home to cut Riordans lead to 7-6.
A yout ended the inning but gave the
Bears some life until the Crusaders
responded with three runs in the top of the
seventh.
This has been a thorn in our side. Well
play (well) one inning and thats kind of it,
Amoroso said. Im proud of them for ght-
ing for one inning, but I told them (after the
game), if we were in a gang ght, wed be
bleeding out in the hospital.

NEW YORK Always fast on the eld,
Chris Johnson is looking to quickly prove
his critics wrong.
The New York Jets signed the former
Titans running back Wednesday, a little over
a week after he was ofcially released by
Tennessee.
Johnson met with the Jets all day Tuesday
the rst team he visited and stayed in
town to watch the Knicks-Nets game in
Brooklyn before signing Wednesday. The
Jets announced the move, but didnt release
terms.
In a text message to The Associated Press,
Johnson conrmed it was a two-year deal.
I have a fresh start, Johnson told The
Tennessean. Now I am going to go out
there with a chip on my shoulder. I know a
lot of people are doubting me.
Johnson was told by the Titans of their
decision April 4, ending a six-year stint in
Tennessee during which he became one of
the NFLs most exciting running backs. The
former 2,000-yard rusher will team with
Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell to give coach
Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Marty
Mornhinweg a deep and dangerous back-
eld.
The Jets also have Mike Goodson, who is
dealing with legal issues and recovering
from torn knee ligaments.
Ive always been a big fan of the Jets,
Johnson told the teams website. There was
some thought into this, but just at the end of
the day, I was comfortable here. I just felt
like it was the right situation.
While his days as a workhorse running
back he carried the ball over 300 times in
each of the 2009 and 2010 seasons
might be over, Johnson could be the perfect
complement to the bruising Ivory and ver-
satile Powell. In Mornhinwegs rst season
as offensive coordinator, the Jets nished
sixth in the league in rushing last year with
Ivory and Powell sharing the load.
Despite the solid production, New York
still entered the offseason aiming to
improve the position with a big-play run-
ner.

I just returned from a trip to Santa Barbara
where I am working on a large residential
landscape project. In case you havent seen
the national news lately, most of the state
of California is in the midst of a serious
drought threatening not only residential
and commercial landscapes, but also a large
percentage of our nations farm produce.
Californias governor has called for
statewide water rationing, and water boards
in some towns, including the one I am
working in, have drastically cut water allot-
ments to homes. Steep fines are being
issued for any residence exceeding their
limit.
In Southern California, the majority of
landscapes are irrigated. Gardens that have
been carefully tended for years are now at
risk of being lost. Just as it is for your
home and mine, a well-tended landscape not
only provides curb appeal; it adds intrinsic
value to the home. Imagine what your home
would look like without any trees, shrubs,
owers or grass.
In my garden, the water situation is the
polar opposite of Santa Barbaras. Last
night, rain fell from the sky in buckets 3
1/2 inches in all. The ground, having only
thawed a short while ago, was only able to
absorb a fraction of the water. The rest rap-
idly pooled in flat areas forming small
ponds all across our property.
Any ground with even the slightest grade
saw trickles of water turn into rivulets and
then into streams. Consider what happened
to our gravel driveway. It rises with a slight
incline from the lower portion of our prop-
erty, and the rushing water had carved a 6-
inch wide by 6-inch deep trench into the
gravel.
The southern edge of our property borders
a small stream, which normally flows
peacefully into a marsh and then into the
large reservoir adjacent to our land. By the

time the rain stopped late this morning it
had become a raging river.
The stream, locally known as Borden
Brook, crested its banks, ooding portions
of our property. The rising water spilled into
the basement of my small eldstone ofce
perched alongside the stream.
This morning, as I surveyed the damage, I
wondered where all this water would go. And
what would become of my submerged gar-
den? Fortunately, before the day ended the
water started to subside.
Over the last 20 years of tending my gar-
den, I have gone through similar seasonal
ooding events. Believe it or not, what I
have learned from seasonal ooding has
helped me plan my Santa Barbara project.
Alack of water is the ip side of too much
water, but both scenarios require selecting
plants that can tolerate adverse conditions.
I learned long ago that plants needing
excellent drainage dont last long in my gar-
den. Plants that dont mind occasional wet
feet thrive. Plants that can tolerate heavy,
mucky soils grow well, but plants that like
loose sandy conditions dont. Most of this
is common sense. Choosing the right
plants for the right place makes all the dif-
ference in creating a successful garden.
On my Santa Barbara project, the home-

Club she and her husband hosted at their

I connected with the department
because I know they do wonderful projects
up here, said Milos. The school has done
great things for my son. I looked at mak-
ing the crates in Iowa, but the shipping,
storage and huge quantities were too much.
This is a good project for kids at this
school.
Students at the alternative school seek
out the school for a variety of reasons, one
of which may be the need for a new envi-
ronment.
I was happy to work with the communi-
ty and wanted to emphasize the kids there
are valuable and able to work on things
beyond academic studies, Milos said. I
think a lot of them (Peninsula students),
by the time they come to that school, are
wondering about that.
The student selected for the project,
Andrew, has made a couple dozen crates at
this point. Milos bought the materials for
the boxes and provided the student with a
prototype. She plans on making a contri-
bution to the school.
I didnt know what it was for at first,
Andrew said. Its pretty cool to be doing
something like this. I like to work with
my hands.
When students come out of the construc-
tion class, theyll have basic skills,

Milos hopes the new packaging can help
make her product stand out when she sells
samples to O, The Oprah Magazine and
other publications to get Culinary Twist

that will focus on stabilizing the budget and
allow future governors and legislatures more
exibility in using it.
He wants to fund the reserve account by
setting aside some capital gains revenue
when it spikes, as it is doing this year. The
money would then be reserved for school
spending and for paying down debt and
unfunded liabilities.
We simply must prevent the massive
decits of the last decade, and we can only
do that by paying down our debts and creat-
ing a solid rainy day fund, the governor
said in a statement.
Voters approved a state rainy-day fund in
2004, lling it with 3 percent of the states
annual revenue. The governors ofce said
the current fund has no restrictions on when
the money can be withdrawn and requires
deposits even in years when the state is run-
ning a budget decit.
Browns changes would allow lawmakers
to direct as much as 10 percent of general-
fund revenue to the rainy-day account. The
proposal received immediate buy-in from
some in the business community.
Adopting an effective rainy-day reserve
should be the states top scal policy,
Allan Zaremberg, chief executive of the
California Chamber of Commerce, said in a
statement. Californias budget crises were
caused by the Legislature spending one-time
revenues for ongoing programs. A solid
reserve requirement will remove the
California budget from the fiscal roller
coaster.
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los
Angeles, said he welcomed the governors
call for a special session starting April 24.
We need to establish a solid system for
saving money in good years, so that we can
better weather the bad years, Perez said in a
statement.
Republicans have criticized Democrats for
trying to weaken the current measure,
ACA4, which was the result of a 2010 budg-
et compromise brokered by Democrats,
Republicans and then-Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, a Republican. That meas-
ure originally was supposed to go before
voters in November 2012.
Replacing ACA4 wont be easy for the
governor because it requires a two-thirds
vote of the Legislature. While Democrats
have a slim supermajority in the Assembly,
the Senate recently dropped below two-
thirds majority when it suspended three
Democratic lawmakers caught up in separate
criminal cases.
BROWN
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Lee Reich
Chomping down on a rosette of freshly emerging tulip
leaves is just the thing to drive away winter doldrums for
deer. Crocuses probably taste almost as good to them.
Theres no need, though, for us humans to forsake the blos-
soms of spring bulbs; there are plenty that dont appeal to
deer.
Daffodils, for example. Deer wont eat them. So plant daf-
fodils to your hearts content without any worry that their
tops will be chomped off before the owers even unfold.
Hyacinths also dont particularly appeal to deer. Although
hyacinths were among the most fashionable owers in the
18th century, theyre not among the most popular bulbs now.
Perhaps its because theyre a little stiff and formal, so dont
blend well with currently popular naturalistic landscapes.
Still, if youve got a place for them, go ahead and plant them
and dont worry about deer upsetting your design.
Equally deer proof and, in this case, easily integrated into
naturalistic plantings, are grape hyacinths, or muscari. These
tiny bulbs are impervious to cold, and spread to eventually
blanket the ground with popsicle sticks packed with pure
white, violet, or deep blue owers.
MANY SMALL BULBS ARE DEERPROOF
Actually, once you segue over into the world of small bulbs,
you open the door to a slew of owers that both naturalize and
are passed over by hungry deer. Some are also the rst harbin-
gers of spring: Snowdrop and glory of the snow often bloom
right through the snow, the former with white blossoms, the
latter in white, pink or blue. Each of winter aconites yellow
blossoms, also appearing in very early spring, is cradled in
hand-shaped leaves, decorative in their own right well after
the blossoms dry up.
After this early show subsides, striped squill, also known
as puschkinia, could share the stage with muscari, both
blooming fairly early. The loose, pale blue clusters of
striped squill wont do for the garden what Darwin tulips do
or would do if the deer wouldnt eat them but they are
welcome nonetheless.
Crown imperial is a deer-proof bulb that could provide the
elegance of tulips. The stalks shoot skyward 2 to 3 feet and
then are capped by a tuft of leaves encircled below by a
crown of downward-pointing red or yellow owers. Crown
imperials relatives, Persian lily and guinea hen ower, are
also passed over by deer and are beautiful in a more relaxed
rather than regal manner.
English bluebells and wood hyacinth, both botanically
squills, share midseason bloom with crown imperial. These
two squills are perfect for naturalizing and brightening the
dappled shade of a mid-spring woodland.
DEER ALSO DONT ENJOY ONIONS
Even as spring rolls into summer, there are colorful bulbs
that can make deer look elsewhere for a meal. Flowering
onions alliums ll this time slot, mostly appearing as
pastel pompoms atop slender stalks.
If youre unfamiliar with the ornamental, owering onions,
take a look at chives when they come into bloom. Now imag-
ine those blossoms in deep blue, or in pink, even yellow. And
rather than golf-ball size clusters of owers, imagine ower
heads the size of volleyballs, or baseball-size clusters send-
ing out thin streamers of male owers like reworks. These
are some of the variations on the basic allium ower theme.
This sampling of bulbs should be sufcient to convince you
that deer need not reduce your spring landscape to a mono-
chrome of green. After once watching deer munch the leaves
off a friends garlic plants, I do hesitate to recommend any
plant as completely deer-proof. Still, planting the above-
mentioned bulbs generally sends out the signal: No food here,
deer.
Bulbs, yes, but no food for deer
There are many bulbs that dont appeal to deer.

ing within its downtown specic plan.
For now, the city is looking to start a
program downtown which could then be
expanded elsewhere. There are currently
23 potentially historic properties in
the citys downtown inventory that was
established in 2008 and includes the
Burlingame train station, the G.W.
Gates House, Bank of Burlingame and
Farrell residence on Chapin Avenue.
Now, the city has drafted a historic
resource preservation ordinance. The
main incentive of the program is that,
under the Mills Act Historical Property
Contract Program, homeowners get a
substantial discount on property tax if
they put together a plan for maintain-
ing and restoring their historical prop-
erty. A Mills contract is executed
between the city and the property owner
for a revolving 10-year term. Citizens
would work with the Community
Development Department before bring-
ing the proposal to the Planning
Commission for approval. Owners
cant use the Mills Act if their city does-
nt have a historic resource program.
Generally speaking, were moving
in the right direction, said Russ
Cohen, former councilman and vice
president of the Burlingame Historical
Society. Focusing on downtown is a
great start, but the real benet of the
Mills Act will come from residents (by
including areas outside of downtown).
The proposed ordinance should be
going to the City Council for vote in
the next 60 days, around May or June. It
will only affect downtown from
Peninsula Avenue to Oak Grove Avenue
and El Camino Real to California Drive,
said Community Development Director
Bill Meeker. If the city sees success
with the downtown program, it could
decide to expand it out to other areas, he
said. Any property within the plan area
can be considered if it has historic
value, including 51 properties not on
the inventory list of 23 that have
already been evaluated in some way.
The incentives designated for the
properties are great, said Planning
Commissioner Nirmala Bandrapalli at a
meeting Monday night. This is a very
well-written document.
One former councilwoman is pleased
with the prospects of such an ordi-
nance.
Im happy to see it looks like its
nally going to get passed, said Cathy
Baylock, now treasurer for the
Burlingame Historical Society. Ive
been working on it for 16 years. Its the
right approach to start in downtown
rst and kind of do a pilot program and
see how much interest there is.
Aside from the tax benets of an ordi-
nance like this, it will be many histori-
cal benets as well for the city, she
said.
It allows someone to have a more
level playing eld for saving a building
instead of demolishing it, she said. We
get to keep all these beautiful buildings
that make Burlingame so special.
Back in March 2013, the City
Council directed staff to work on such
an ordinance. At a March 1 joint meet-
ing of the City Council and the
Planning Commission this year, the
council provided direction to staff to
proceed with preparation of an amend-
ment to the citys municipal code
adding a chapter establishing a historic
preservation program. The Planning
Commission was established as the
Historic Resource Preservation
Commission that will be charged with
evaluation requests for designation of
properties.
Most notable is the requirement that
property owner consent is required for
designation of any nominated proper-
t y, a staff report states.
Mayor Michael Brownrigg and Vice
Mayor Terry Nagel previously voiced
support for expanding the preservation
program beyond the downtown pro-
gram so others might take advantage of
the Mills Act. However, that might
open the door to a requirement that oth-
ers would be required to get historic
assessments by historical consultants
to determine dening features and his-
toric characteristics of their homes
before doing any remodeling. That is
already the case in the Burlingame Park
district, due to documents submitted
back in 2009 by the Burlingame
Historical Society.
To read the draft ordinance visit

HISTORIC
court ruling is no longer necessary and
local authorities will likely never
know which way the justices were
leaning. Elarms death, he said, elimi-
nates the possibility of justice for
Lewis loved ones and the possibility
of vindication for San Mateo police.
They will never have their day in
court, he said, adding that on a prac-
tical level his death saves public
resources maintaining the appeal and
potentially launching another trial.
San Mateo Police Chief Susan
Manheimer echoed the sentiment.
Were obviously disappointed that
there is no opportunity for justice to
be served ultimately for the family,
friends and community that so adored
David Lewis, Manheimer said.
Although Elarms escaped prosecu-
tion on murder charges, he did serve
about ve months for having three
shanks in his jail cell while awaiting
trial.
In the original case, authorities con-
tended that Elarms followed Lewis
from San Mateo Medical Center, where
Lewis was an outreach worker, to the
San Mateo shopping centers parking
garage and shot him once in the torso.
The men reportedly knew each other
from childhood but Elarms believed
Lewis had become his enemy. Lewis
uttered the name Greg before dying
but police made no arrests until con-
tacted by Elarms six months after the
shooting. Police believed Elarms may
have been a witness to the shooting
and went to his home where he volun-
tarily accompanied them back to San
Mateo.
Elarms prosecution was on hold for
the better part of a year while he was
hospitalized in a state mental facility
before being found t for trial. Four
days into the November 2012 murder
trial, Hall ruled Elarms police confes-
sion inadmissible because San Mateo
police did not Mirandize him, respond
to his numerous requests for a lawyer
and preyed upon his paranoia with
repeated promises for release if he just
gave them a statement.
According to Halls ruling, Elarms
told officers during the car ride he
needed legal advice and later added I
dont think I should say anything else
because of the Fifth Amendment, I
mean I might incriminate myself to a
certain extent. I do know exactly what
happened.
Almost two hours into the interro-
gation at the police station, a detec-
tive said he needed to Mirandize
Elarms who responded, [B]ut we
already talked man; you cant read me
my rights now.
The District Attorneys Ofce con-
tended Elarms did not legally require
Miranda before that point because he
initiated contact with police, he vol-
untarily went to the department, was
not handcuffed or searched and told
repeatedly he was free to leave.
Manheimer said the department was
pretty shocked by Halls ruling
because it felt it was on solid ground.
We happened to have the DA here
and the chief of police as the case
unfolded. There was a lot of over-
sight, she said.
After the murder case fell apart,
prosecutors charged him with the jail-
house possession of a spork, a tooth-
brush and two pencils strapped
together and sharpened to a point as a
way to keep him in custody during the
appeal. He received four years prison
and, with credit for his jail and hospi-
tal time, had approximately 10
months left to serve. He was released
in July 2013.

MOKPO, South Korea Strong currents,
rain and bad visibility hampered rescuers
Thursday in the search for 287 passengers
still missing more than 24 hours after their
ferry ipped onto its side and lled with
water off the southern coast of South Korea.
Nine people, including three students and
two teachers, were conrmed dead, but many
expect a sharp jump in that number because
the missing have now spent more than a day
either trapped in the ferry or in the cold sea-
water. There was also fury among families
waiting for word of passengers who were
mostly high school students.
There were 475 people aboard, and some
of the frantic parents of the 325 student pas-
sengers whod been heading to Jeju island
for a four-day trip gathered at Danwon High
School in Ansan, which is near Seoul, and in
Mokpo, in the south of the country, not far
from where the ferry slipped beneath the sur-
face until only the blue-tipped, forward edge
of the keel was visible.
Relatives of the three dead students wailed
and sobbed as ambulances at a hospital in
Mokpo took the bodies to Ansan. The fami-
lies, who spent a mostly sleepless night at
the hospital, followed the ambulances in
their own cars.
The family of one of the victims, 24-year-
old teacher Choi Hye-jung, spoke about a
young woman who loved to boast of how
her students would come to her ofce and
give her hugs.
She was very active and wanted to be a
good leader, her father, Choi Jae-kyu, 53,
said at Mokpo Jung-Ang Hospital while
waiting for the arrival of his daughters
body.
